Behind the scenes+Interview

AA‘s Aoora is a multi-talented rookie who’s already received high praise from respected figures in the music industry, such asfamous Japanese composer and DJ, Daishi Dance. In addition to his great vocals and rapping, he also possesses the ability to write, compose, and produce his own songs. AA’s debut title track, “Because I’m Crazy”, is Aoora’s own work.

Aoora sat down with Newsen to discuss his past and the road he’s taken to follow his dream.“In high school, I was a model student and the president of my class. We weren’t well off so I studied even harder for my parents. However, I really wanted to do music,” he said.

He continued, “The school I went to had a system where if you don’t attend for 3 days in a row, you are automatically unenrolled from
the school. I thought to myself that I have to take the road I want, and ripped up my school uniforms and stopped attending school. My teacher tried to persuade me and gave me 2 months to make my decision. However, in the end, I was unenrolled. I wanted to focus on my musical studies.”

Aoora’s affection for his parents were revealed when he stated, “It was then that I wanted to start helping out our household financially. I
wanted to become a [music] producer in the future, so I started taking up part time jobs in the field of video-editing or music. My family is
very supportive of me now. My mother was still upset about me dropping out of high school, so I took the GED and got into college.”

In 2009, Aoora had the chance to record a duet with KARA‘s former member, Kim Sung Hee, with the song he produced himself. He stated, “I
was proud of my achievement, but others thought it was funny. But that was when I started gaining fans who told me they would wait for me,
which I was amazed and touched by.”

He also discussed his dramatic physical transformation between his past and now. He revealed that he was once 120 kg (267 lbs), but went through a shocking and almost unbelievable weight loss.

“It was during the time when I was burning my school uniforms that I lost weight out of spite. I think I was possessed by something
because I lost 51kg (112 lbs) in one and half months. After I tore up my uniform, I started feeling a sense of responsibility as I thought about making money. My mother is ill, so I felt that I needed to take care of her.” After this serious confession, he lightened up the mood when he stated with a laugh, “I’m a little worried about my pictures from back then.”

"My mother is ill"
I hope it's not a serious disease. :(

[uledy.livejournal.com]

that kimchi guy looks real weird. i don't know what it is...but his face is...strange...someone help me out. why is his face so strange???

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

imo it's his mouth idk something about it. It just seems to be able to be open so wide

[justhyuu.livejournal.com]

who's the second one (L to R) in the last picture? He reminds me so much of the brother of that U-KISS ex-member...

Plus, I'm really enjoying these guys, they're pretty good live and the song is pretty decent

[justhyuu.livejournal.com]

WAIT. HE LOST 51KG. IN ONE MONTH AND A HALF? GIMME YOUR FREAKING DIET. NOW.

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

I lost 51kg (112 lbs) in one and half months

ok lol

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

lol Ikr? If that were true, he would prob be dead rn.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

Ho-ik is such a qt sleeper i was so shocked when i found out he was younger than me he looks a lot older 0_0

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

kimchi looks like a dog, idg why he won't keep his mouth close

[istalkalert.livejournal.com]

lol maybe he likes to have his mouth open? XD

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

He lost roughly the equivalent of me in a month? Ilu bb but that ain't possible unless you stopped eating for a month and worked out nonstop. I don't think even the 500 pound fatties on Biggest Loser lost that much in a month.

[unfadingscar.livejournal.com]

I foresee Woosang making it hard for me to like this group if he keeps posing like that. Its a pop group not a Vogue shoot from the 80s.

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

mte he drives me crazy.

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

Gosh that kimchi guy is so odd looking and he needs to stop making those stupid faces, it's a terrible annoying combination, also Op all this titles about them are sarcastic right?

[risutaro.livejournal.com]

i love kimchi and aoora but they need to change their hair color and style. idk something just looks really off

[kjdlk.livejournal.com]

Kimchi's facial expressions are just... /throws up

Did they release a MV for Because I'm Crazy?

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Kimchi guy looks like a fish.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

Aoora... I need photo. He's worried that was a cue for the crazies to find them and post.

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

I'm already loving their dorkiness. I hope to see them on Star King or something soon.

[metafictionally]

I must be super behind the times but did Kimchi get something done to his teeth? Weren't they janky in his original member photo? But they look really nice and straight here. O___o

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

Woosang is hot, like REALLY hot. And the song is good, those are enough reasons for me to stan them.

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

So that Kimchi guy that looks like a blowfish has the most fans?

I can't believe Koleans have such weird tastes.

[maximumtimo.livejournal.com]

Korea likes 2ne1 too and look at them

[morgenderper.livejournal.com]

"I lost 51kg (112 lbs) in one and half months."

Read as "I had my fat removed to make soap and gastric surgery"

[morgenderper.livejournal.com]

Also, Kimchi would look so much better if I shoved my fucking fist in his face.

[sai12.livejournal.com]

I love how Kimchi is a twitter pic spammer. And that he tweets in almost exclusively English or Engrish.

1.5 month thing is definitely an exaggeration. But 120kg? That is so hard to believe!

Kimchi's speaking voice is..different than I had expected. Lower.

[sai12.livejournal.com]

One last thing I wanna say. They talked about filming their damned music video in that little clip....WHY HAVEN'T WE SEEN IT YET! GIVES US TE MV!

[cordyceps.livejournal.com]

They are just so qt.

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

Did Kimchi get his teeth fixed already? He's so adorable <3

And please give me that diet plan.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

because I lost 51kg (112 lbs) in one and half months.
No, you didn't.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Ikr? It's not possible and that's it.

[minniecouture.livejournal.com]
