Q: Were you guys popular with the girls in school?

I.N: "In elementary school, I was on the chubby side so I wasn't popular, and I went to an all-boys middle school. The school that I attend now is full of other celebrities (Laughter)."
Hyunjin: "There are top stars who are much bigger than us. We have no presence there... (Laughter)."

Q: Hyunjin has a nickname "SOPA Prince"?

I.N: "(Grinning mischievously) Yup, he's the prince!"
Hyunjin: "I need to explain this clearly. The kids in my class are asking me 'Why are you a prince?'. They've never called me that before! (I.N repeats his above statement.) I think it's only the kids in I.N's class who call me that. No one in my year calls me that. I am not the 'SOPA Prince'. Please make this known!"
(A/N: It sounds like I.N plotted with the kids in his class to give Hyunjin this nickname?)

Q: "What about Seungmin?"

Seungmin: "I am attending the same school that I went to since before my debut... Before I debuted, I would go out and roam the streets with my friends during lunch time. After debuting, I stay inside the classroom during lunch, and we never go outside, just talking inside (Laughter). I don't have as many opportunities to talk to my friends in class. I try to ask them how they're doing and what kids these days do..."

Q: Have you ever received a confession on 'Confession Day'? (Confession Day in Korea is more or less just a made-up holiday among students and falls on different days depending on regions... in 2018, the popular date fell on September 17.)

I.N: "I don't think so ever... Oh, there was one time in middle school when I got a letter from someone who went to a different school!"
Hyunjin: "Me as well, the hoobaes just..."
Seungmin: "I've gotten exactly one letter from a hoobae. I remember it because it was only once (Laughter)."

Q: What do you want to do when you turn 20?

Seungmin: "I want to stay a student. I don't want to become an adult (Laughter). If I had to pick, I want to have access to use smartphone pay for small purchases. Right now, I need my mother's permission. I do want to do it on my own. I want to be able to easily send the members gift-emoticons."
Hyunjin: "I think I will live the same life even when I become of age. I've made a card for smartphone small purchase pay, but I don't have anywhere to use it on. Oh, I do want to have a party with the members."
I.N: "Right now, I can only use emoticons that others sent me as gifts. So [when I get a smartphone pay card], I'm gonna buy a ton of emoticons. Like, a ton."
