Dongwoo thought the top moment would’ve been when they debuted. “I think it must’ve been more difficult at the beginning because the members always complained about the agency all through you. And the agency used to work them out through you.”

Sunggyu revealed that he’d added more to his plate by stretching himself thin. “Nobody was pressuring me, but I felt pressure on my own. I was trying to be more responsible, [bearing the weight] with really heavy shoulders.”
