💭: you go from tight, precise rap to more laid-back rap, and even vocals that suit rock music. it can't be easy to take on styles you've never tried before. 🐹: i think sticking to one style is cool too, but i'm more the type who wants to show different sides of myself. once you broaden your range, there's no limit to how far you can go, right? so even when i think something might not work out, i still give it a try. i guess i just want there to be more than one answer when someone asks, “what does han from stray kids do?” #HANxDAZEDKOREA

💭: i’m curious what draws you to unfamiliar genres 🐹: i think it just happens naturally as i listen to different kinds of music. the genres of the songs on my playlist are really diverse. i'm more familiar with hip-hop and rock, but i'm also curious about genres that are considered more classic in style, like bossa nova or tango. i hope i’ll get to share music in those genres with you someday, too. #HANxDAZEDKOREA

💭: when your musical interests change, you have to practice again to make that music your own, right? 🐹: i often record myself practicing on my own, and that helps. i often discover things about my voice that i didn’t know before. sometimes a track i made a few months ago suddenly comes to mind, and i try singing it again. i always have my laptop on at home, after all. #HANxDAZEDKOREA

💭: you’re also really good at bringing out the best in other people. listening to “truman” with felix and “into the current” with seungmin made me think that once again. all three members of 3racha are producers, but you must each have different styles. what kind of producer are you, han? 🐹: in 3racha, i’m in charge of emotion, flashes of inspiration, and being the leader, which the older members have officially acknowledged. (laughs) as producers, chan-hyung is the type who genuinely listens to other people’s thoughts and thinks things through with them, while changbin-hyung comes up with such great ideas that they’re hard to argue against. as for what kind of producer i am… hmm, when a chef sees good ingredients, they’d want to make something really delicious and serve it to people, right? as a producer, i have that same desire. i want to make songs that really bring out a person’s unique charm. i can just picture in my head what genre or kind of song someone’s voice would sound great in. #HANxDAZEDKOREA

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

💭: you openly express your affection and gratitude to stay. what does stay’s love mean to you, han? 🐹: i think i used to have only a vague idea of how noble and incredible the feeling of love is, based on what i’d heard people say. it was through our activities that i came to understand it. i realized just how difficult it is to like and support someone unconditionally. when i think of stay, who give us that kind of love… i feel a sense of responsibility to at least never do anything i’d be ashamed of when it comes to my work, to work hard and do it well. the ones who support me are the members and stay. i feel the same emotions with stay that i feel with the members. someday i’ll be thirty, and then forty, right? even then, won’t stay be the only ones who still call me cute? i don’t think even my dad would do that.
