- but when prepping for knock things just came together
- he was relieved that the time passed wasnt wasted; even time spent looking at the ceiling in his room was meaningful in some way
- rather than feeling hurt cuz he couldnt be on stage, he felt most sorry towards the members

- instead he decided there was still next year and the year after

- it was supposed to be decided by voting but bin cheated (because eunwoo is too good at convincing ppl) and performed knock beforehand to the head of A&R, and they were convinced they did have to make a lot of changes tho
they did have to make a lot of changes tho
there was a section on not being limited by gender where he talked about doing gg covers !!!
- he thought a lot about how to perform 24hrs as a man without ruining the original; how to deliver it well but in his own way; how to balance between femininity and masculinity

- there is a difference in dance lines between men & women; if he can't digest the dance well in his own way it might look like he is mocking gg dance
- he has no problem w/ doing the original choreo but he wants to add his own feelings when covering it

interviewer brought up wannabe cover saying that bin doesn't limit himself to genre or gender
- gender isn't a problem for him because he just covers it in his own style
- but in terms of learning speed, rocky is much faster. if it takes him 30mins it will only take rocky 5.

- the most tiring type of dance is "old school" which what hide & seek choreo is. ppl often think its a cute dance but its actually super tiring and no rest for 3 mins straight
- but other dancers will watch it and say wow they can be in dance teams

- hide & seek promos was super tiring; at the end of promos when mj sang the lyrics "hide carefully" (?) his mouth was smiling but his eyes were crying, and they could all hear it
- csc era was a big turn for their concepts
- sutis concept in csc was an idea they brought up to the company!
- csc's original title was "easy to love you"; all night's was "gucci"; knock's was "you"
(i'm guessing he means the title when they got the sample track)
