DongJoon is gaining tremendous popularity among Thais transgenders.

DongJoon said, "We've returned from promotion in Thailand. If I were to say the differences between Thais and Korean fans, there are many transgender fans there." "They are so pretty and very girlish. They called me 'Oppa', then they told me they are transgenders" he added, smiling.

On the other hand, he revealed "There is this Chinese fan boy, he sends me a frog as a present everyday." "Of course they are not living frogs but they are pens, spoons and other things, all frog-shaped. He sends it everyday", he conveyed. "Of course I'm thankful because he thinks of me, but receiving a frog everyday makes me curious what's the meaning behind those presents."

ZE:A is in the middle of promoting their song 'Bad talk sad' and 'Kkap Kwanghee' Hwang Kwanghee are topping the entertainment lists.

JunYoung told us about the leader's difficult point: "There's no particular difficult point, we all get along well before we knew it the hyungs didn't had dongsaeng anymore. (laugh) Seeing that our dongsaengs sometimes eat their hyungs up it became a habit so we had to put a limit. Plus, listening to all nine persons feeling is a bit tiring. So it's good that the members are really reliable."

We hear a lot that JunYoung looks a lot like DBSK's ex-member 'Micky Yoochun' it became a hot topic. "I myself like this senior. I'm really honored, because it was an opportunity to make me a bit more known I'm honored. From now on I won't look like Micky Yoochun but I'll show only Moon JunYoung's charms. If I personally meet the group, I want to ask if they heard about the look-a-like picture who became an issue."

With maknae DongJun he appeared on the last 'Mnet scandal', it became the center of discussion, they had one women for two so when we asked if the competitiveness was for real he said: "We simply showed a confrontation with DongJun as a hyung I had to do a concession. But, if he stole my girlfriend I wouldn't forgive him."

JunYoung added: "I can give everything, I'm absorbed in though relationship style so it seems that I can't date easily. If I had an ideal type, she would have a nice skin, and be lively, I like courteous women. If it has to be a TV actress hum... Kim SoYeon senior from the drama ? I liked a lot the cameo appearance. From when I was young I was a fan, she knew all the 9 members name I was really shocked. When I met her she had the personality from the heroine from the drama, in fact because she was a lively actress she is admirable, haha!"

For the end of the year JunYoung wants to get the Rookie of the Year award.

If you got to win on the TV show you could make a donation of a trophy made of 50 don* of pure gold to needy neighbours, DongJun said: "I don't worry about it I'll donate. If I get the possibility to help then I want to win this prize. From when I was young I had this weird feeling to help, with the friends from my neighbourhood we went to ill person's house and did the cleaning. It was a small thing but when I got to hear "Thank you" I wanted to do it again... Is it in my genes? (laugh)"

Especially on variety show, DongJun has to use his body a lot which is a bit worrying. "I'm not tired at all. I still enjoy it. I couldn't become an athlete. I could play with my feet at football well but I was a bit weak at playing with my hands at basketball, haha!"

You have been the assistant team leader... "My role was only to repeat what some hyungs said to other hyungs. However, KwangHee hyung always take what I say like jokes and it's really irritating." What if you become the leader? "Me as a leader? As soon as I'll become the leader the team will just be destroyed. (laugh) But I'm not the assistant leader so I'll only do maknae things so please understand me, hehe!"

Maknae DongJun trademark is his winning spirit. "This seems to be the most important. I just naturally have to have the control, if not then I'll think "what am I able to do then?""
These days do you still hear about Han GaIn? "I hear it even more. These days the drama is really popular and the fans did for fun some photo comparison... Later on if I meet nuna I want to say sorry because I've been using her image."

*50 don = 187,825 grams = 6,625 ounces

HyungShik is a professional to do 'the innocent face that tricks the hyungs'. "One day after finishing the schedule, we were all tired and were going back to our dorm then I lied and said: "Hyungs! I heard manager hyung say that we had to go at the training hall to practice!" (laugh) The hyungs get easily tricked they're silly, SiWan hyung trust my lies the most, sometimes when they think my lies are the truth I'm really proud of myself."

Is there a member from an idol group you're close to? "In fact during the filming of I got close to all the members of F.Cuz, DNA (The BOSS) and MBLAQ, but since our schedules don't match with theirs we can't ordinary call each others, so we only meet at music show's waiting room. And they don't seem to get tricked so easily. I must not look that innocent when I lie then. (laugh)"

HyungShik who entered university some times ago with DongJun said: "Sometimes my brother talks about student life and it makes me really envious. At the company we often go to the workshop but still I wish I could enjoy my student life."

HyungShik wants ZE:A to be an unforgettable group to the others singers and said a bit greedily that he wanted to receive the Rookie of the Year award. "If we receive the Rookie of the Year award, I think I would only cry. And if I don't, maybe I shouldn't show it?"

They're constantly receiving a lovecall from our whole country, Japan, Thailand, and all Asia's countries, plus on various variety show they showed off they talents and charms, they even received the nickname of 'variety-dol and are actually having busy activities.

"(DongJun) We have to work hard. So it seems that we got the nickname 'Efforts-dol'. Seeing that we have so much members, when were together our competition spirit grows, when something difficult happens or when we're worried, we help each others so we naturally make efforts to get well together. (laugh)"
Children of Empire's passion is so touching that for their third digital single the compositior Park Geuntae revealed hisstrongs ambitions to "make them become Asia's best idol group". Plus, in this album the song 'Separation Drip' is not simply cute and innocent, the members personnality are put on relief with this strong track and it's even more refreshing to the fans.

"(Kevin) I don't want our group to become another simple idol group. My parents stayed faraway in Australia, I came alone in Korea with the decision to become singer but that wasn't an easy thing."

Children of Empire is not a group with mystical tendencies. Since 2006 they prepared themselves and did more than 50 gerilla concerts while doing a country tour and received the nickname 'Road-dol', thanks to their music and their perfomances they received recognition. This outcome means that they're no more rookies when they shed tears and sweat to do their perfomances.

"(JunYoung) I don't want to receive recognition only because of our faces. For this album we couldn't personnally take part in the producing but for the choreography we always showed new things to our dance professor. And for this album concept we wanted to show a really manly side so we learned martial arts from 'Julian Kang' and showed off the 'Kickdance'...We said that we had to do the best performance as rookies and we thought it was the best way to make it."
