NKND - INTERVIEW | SOLO

The decision to interview was an easy one. Jaejin was many things, but naive wasn't one of them. He had been a trainee for over two years and had seen what indecisiveness could do, or not do, for one's career. So, when the news came regarding the new male group auditions, he knew he had to throw his name in the ring. Even if there was only a small chance for him to get picked, it was still a chance worth taking.

Jaejin tood in front of the large mirror, a nervous excitement bubbling in his chest as he adjusted his outfit for what felt like the hundredth time. The room was filled with the buzz of anticipation as other hopefuls went before him. Jaejin ran through possible interview scenarios in his mind, rehearsing answers and trying to exude confidence.

As his turn approached, he took a deep breath, straightened his posture, and entered the interview room with a determined stride. This was his moment to show that he was ready to give it his all.

Sitting comfortably in the chair, he took a moment to consider the question. His lips curved into a playful smile before he responded, "Well, why not?" He chuckled "I mean, there's no time quite like the present to chase your dreams, right?"

The soft lighting in the room accentuated his earnest expression. He continued, "NEWKIDS NEWDREAMS is more than just an opportunity. It's a way to put myself out there into the world." I've spent years as a trainee, putting in the hard work, learning, growing, and now, I feel I'm ready to show the world what I can do"

He gestured subtly with his hands, emphasizing his words. "This is ultimately the first step of many towards that final goal."

"A terrible dancer?" he snickers as his hearty laugh fills the room. Taking a moment to regain composure, "Nah, I'm just kidding." His eyes sparkled with good humor before he continued, "I haven't really had a chance to interact with the guys in the group so far, but I know of a few of them."

"BK and Noeul are great performers and even better rappers," Jaejin praised, nodding in admiration. "And then there's Yichen, an all-rounder. His dancing skills are amazing, and he's got a great voice too."

Pausing for a moment, his expression turned thoughtful. "I think I could add vocals to the lineup," he mused. "It's great having people who excel at a lot of things, but sometimes you just need a one-trick pony- y'know. The guy in the back belting his brains out while everyone else is dancing their asse... uh," he pauses at his slip up before offering a playful smile to the interviewer "I mean, dancing their butts off."

which skill (singing, dancing, acting, modeling, instrument…) do you want to be known for and why? [ Word Count: 93 words]

A mischievous glint is evident in his eyes as he mulls over the question. "Well, if I had to choose, I'd probably go with my extraordinary talent for... juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle!" he exclaimed dramatically, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his lips " I hear It's a real showstopper, you know?".

After a moment of laughter, his expression turns more earnest. "But, seriously," he began. His voice took on a more thoughtful tone. "I want people to know me for my singing."

As he spoke, his words had a subtle passion. "There's something truly magical about connecting with people through music," he continued. He gestured gently to emphasize his point. "I know it's kind of cliché, but I believe I was put on this earth to sing."

A genuine smile graced his lips as he delved deeper into his thoughts. "And hitting those high notes? It's a surge of electricity not like anything you’ve ever felt before." He brimmed with excitement as he spoke, " Singing is definitely where I shine the brightest!"

what kind of concept are you good at and what kind are you bad at? [word counter:104]

"I'm all about lively and refreshing concepts," Jaejin declared. "Imagine it: bright colors, upbeat music, and energetic dances that get everyone on their feet! That's the kind of stage I want—where every performance feels as if its full of joy and positive energy." He animated his gestures, illustrating the dynamic stage presence he envisioned.

"I think I would really struggle with dark and mysterious concepts," he says making it clear that that was out of his comfort zone. "Imagine me trying to look all serious and mysterious," he joked, "I'd probably end up looking like an idiot trying to solve an impossible puzzle."

"Seriously though, I think the whole dark and brooding vibe is just not me. I prefer concepts that are fun and can get a crowd on their feet."

what kind of group would you ideally want to be part of and why? (examples: self-composing type, self-content making type, known for high performance, known for live vocals, etc.…) [word counter 95]

"I’d love to be in a group that fans feel like they can be friends with and can connect to. The approachability factor is crucial, for me" Jaejin mused, "on a less metaphysical level I would ideally want  us to be known for our synchronicity,  live singing, and variety skills."

As he spoke, his hands gestured wildly, painting a vivid picture of his aspirations. "We could blow everyone away with our amazing stage performances," he said. A spark of determination was present in his voice. "And then, off-stage," he said. A mischievous grin spread across his face. "We'd be cracking jokes, doing dance challenges, we'd be literal variety stars."

Jaejin's eyes glinted with excitement. He envisioned lively group interactions. "It's about forming a deep bond with the fans," he said. His gaze showed his sincerity. "Leaving them buzzing after every show," he added with a nod.
