Micky Arena Mag Interview
I write and compose songs right now.I want to make my precious experiences like the places i have visited into a piece of work.
[sky]*What kind of song is SKY?
Micky: Its a song that makes you feel good. You can feel summer in it too.
*The rap was good.
Micky: Only the rap?
*No (laughs). I heard that you wrote the lyrics for the rap, thats why. (laughs)
Micky: Ah, Yes. Thats right. In general, i am making my own parts little by little. I wrote the lyrics by asking a staff member "Are these lyrics all right?"
[Summer]*What is your favorite memory of summer?
Micky: I have 2. When i was little, i went to a small island that was inside a lake with my family to do summer fishing. That was my biggest memory.
*That must have been fun.
Micky: No...it wasn't fun for me. (laughs) On that island i slipped on a rock and fell in the lake. So my mom grabbed my legs and saved my life. I think that was before i entered elementary school.
*Were you able to swim back then?
Micky: I didn't know how to swim then. So i was really scared.
*Thats a scary memory. What is your other summer memory?
Micky: The other one is when my friend, brother and I when to the beach. I miss doing that. It took about 4 hours to get to our destination. All of us walked there. Back then, the 3 of us didn't have a lot of money so we had a hard time.
*Did you save up for this trip?
Micky: Yes. I only ate cup noodles when i was out. When i think about it now, i did have a hard time back then but i was happy because i went on that trip.
[Street]*Do you have a memorable street?
Micky: Its a memory from my junior high school when i lived in the states. My school's back street left an impression on me.
*Did you walk with your girlfriend on that street?
Micky: No!
*You are denying it immediately. (laughs)
Micky: I used to go that way when i skipped class. (laughs)
*Ah...you ditched class?
Micky: Yes (laughs). When i first moved to the states, it was in June. I didn't have any friends then so i got lonely. I would come out for a while and play basketball by myself.
*It has a sad feeling.
Micky: But the street's scenery is a good memory for me.
[Heartbeat]*Do you have any memories of getting nervous when you met someone?
Micky: I didn't have anyone that i felt nervous about. I get nervous when i'm on stage or when it has to do something with me.
[Letter]*Do you have any letters that left an impression on you?
Micky: I have a lot. When i was in my 3rd year of Junior High in the states, i wrote a letter to my brother during Christmas. I also gave him money for the first time.
*What did you write in the letter?
Micky: Something like "Be strong" and "Merry Christmas."
*Did your brother like it?
Micky: Yes...he told me thanks
[Something that became the topic of conversation]*You went to the World Cup and came back. How was it?
Micky: It was really fun. There was a diversity of races/cultures. I thought that ah~this is a world event. All of us went on fire and its something all of us can agree on.
*Have you met all of the Korean Soccer Players in person?
Micky: I have met them for a filming in Korea once. Since i have met them before, i put more strength into the cheerings.
*When you cheer do you raise your voice or just watch the game quietly?
Micky: I screamed and yelled and cheered for them while i was standing. Everyone was standing so if i didn't stand i couldn't see the game.(laughs)
[Joy]*Do you play games recently?
Micky: All of us play the Mario Mini game on NINTENDO DS. All of us are into the game.
*Are you good at the game?
Micky: No...i'm not that good. Jaejoong hyung is the one who is really good at it.
*So Jaejoong is good at it.(Jaejoong appears here when he hears his name.)
Jaejoong: What are u talking about?
*We were saying that you are the best at Mario game.
Jaejoong: Thats right. I'm the Champion!
Micky: Thats because you play the longest. (laughs)
Jaejoong: Ah...thats right. (laughs)
*Are you 3rd or 4th?
Micky: I am around that...
*Who is the worst?
Micky: I think its Junsu.(During the filming, he points at Junsu)
*It's that good looking person who is filming right now. (laughs)
Micky: What? He's good looking?
*Well i mean he's doing a good job. (laughs)
Micky: Yes Junsu is good looking.
[passionate world]*Lastly, this is a question regarding music. Do you write and compose songs recently?
Micky: I am doing it with the feeling that never changes. When i return home, i am writing songs or making a new song.
*But you don't have a lot of time now.
Micky: But when i visit different countries like Germany, Thailand, Saipan or see villages and people with my own eyes, those simple things helps me and becomes my experience.I think it would be great to make a piece of music using those experiences.
*Thats a beautiful thing.
Micky: Thank you. I don't know if i'll be able to do it but i want to try it on my own.
