[FanTalk] TIOT draws blueprint for itself with 'Prelude to Possibilities'
FanTalk. Hong: The original title of the song, proposed by the co-producers of the song, was "Penthouse"— which I don't think anyone else, including the other two members of our team, knew about until now. We changed it to "Bungee" because we felt that the title was not suitable to include our own stories. I've been writing a lot of lyrics with my rap teacher during my rap training, but I was really writing it for the sake of completing the assignments. But because "Bungee" is a track that we produced that we are presenting to our fans for the first time, we were very keen when we wrote the lyrics. Q: Do you have any fun episodes you had during your predebut promotions? Hong: During our very first weekly music show prerecording, we just recorded the stage and left the stage right after because we thought that's how it worked. Turns out, prerecording sessions involve artists interacting with their fans, so now that we think of it, our fans must have been very confused and disappointed. I think we can call it a cute rookie mistake. Since then, we've been calling our fans 'teachers,' and we receive lessons from our fans. Q: What will you do if you can be a fan of an idol for one day? Kim: I learned fans take 'courtesy shots,' where fans take photos of their food with the photocards of their favorite idols. It seemed so cute how fans cuddle up and pose for a photo, and I've always been meaning to try it out myself. I probably won't do it with a photocard with my face on it, though. Hong: I would like to participate in a prerecording session. While my tall height probably means that I won't get the front-row experience, I want to go and see the prerecording session from the perspective of a fan. I want to feel the experience because I don't think I've ever done it as a fan. To find out more about TIOT, visit Celeb Confirmed! BY CHO YONG-JUN [cho.yongjun1@joongang.co.kr]TIOT FanTalk
