Kpopwise was fortunate enough to have a chat with W24 amidst the band’s busy
schedule.
Hello
W24, it is a pleasure to meet you. Can you introduce yourselves to Kpopwise
readers?
Yes! Hello
to all Kpopwise readers! We are W24, a band called World 24 Hours. We are a
group made up of members: Yunsoo, the guitarist, Jonggil, the
drummer, Aaron, the keyboardist, and Howon the vocalist. Our name
is W24 or World 24 Hours because we want our music to be heard around the world
for 24 hours.
Listen to
“Once Upon a Time”
What
inspired you to begin your musical journey?
We all
thought the same thing when we came into the company. The objective and motive
to making this band was to give positive energy to the world and we thought it
was a very good goal to achieve together.
What does
W24’s creative process consist of?
Well, first of all each member writes and composes his own music, and then we come together to rearrange the song. Sometimes we change the instruments, sometimes we change the melody, the lyrics, etc. We try to get together and solve every issue concerning music or anything else through communication and unity.
W24 seems
really busy these days, what have you been up to?
We actually
had a hectic month of May. We have released our new song “Once Upon a Time”, we
had our online concert, we did busking, went to festivals and other concerts
too. Lots of things happened and right now we are working on our new music as
well as other contents. We actually have a self-made reality show we did, and
every week we have a new episode. Please check us out on all our social media!
Check out W24’s self-made reality show Eat, Enjoy, Sing! below.
Who is
the funniest these days?
We think
everyone is funny these days. Each member has a different point where we might
find it funny.
If you
chose a member as your stylist for the week, who would it be?
Aaron! He
has a really good sense of fashion, and he actually helps us choose our clothes
with some of our schedules. We think that he will be able to dress anyone
according to their tastes.
Do you
have any other hobbies or non-music-related talents?
These days,
all the members are actually into Netflix, so we’ve been watching a lot of dramas
and movies. Jonggil actually has a teacher’s diploma so he can teach how to
play the drums officially. Howon likes to play volleyball and used to be in the
school team. Aaron has started to get a bit of interest in cooking.
What is
something you want to learn?
Yunsoo wants to learn cooking these days. He thinks that a guy who knows how to cook is sexy. Also, all members want to learn different languages. Jonggil and Aaron really want to learn English and Howon wants to study French again. Howon would also like to learn how to play guitar well.
What
message do you want to give to your fans?
First of all,
thanks to Kpopwise for having us for this interview and we would like to thank
all fans who have loved and supported us until now. We wish that through our
music, we would keep giving good energy and support for them. Everyone is tired
because of the pandemic so we wish that our songs will give our fans some
energy to keep going on. Please look forward to all the new contents we will
providing. Thank you very much! We Love you!
