The MC asked CL what her secret is for being a friend to some of the most talented, creative ppl in music and fashion around the world. She begins to answer but says that this answer is really in regards to someone else. The MC says CL's brought an incredible friend with her and CL introduces her "creative friend" Mino! She laughs and says "friend!" as she shakes his hand. The MC tells Mino that CL has just introduced him as a fellow creative musician and friend.

 

MC : You & CL are dressed similarly today, do you guys share any similar hobbies or fashion trends?

MN : Chaerin noona is a really stylish fashionista. She utilizes a lot of unique items, and I like that kind of stuff too. We like outdoorsy, functional outfits that are innovative. When we select what to wear, we don't want to imitate anyone else. We want it to be original. I think our tastes in choosing those new things may be similar.

 

CL keeps laughing the entire time so the MC asks why, and she says it's because Mino basically read the script verbatim.

 

MC : With WINNER, of course as musicians, but for me personally your variety appearances were really memorable to me. Where do you get your inspiration for the various project you do?

MN : Like a lot of people, it comes from the inside, from me first. Emotions from moment to moment, or people's stories, or it could be about the fans.. I get inspiration in a lot of different ways. I take all of that, combine it, and process it internally.

MC : I understand that you're creatively interested in things beyond just music, like fashion, and you're good at drawing too. What kind of creatives are you drawn towards?

MN : Honestly I don't think there's such a thing as something 'completely new'. There are just so many things out there...

But in between that, the ones that have the most sincerity.. The ones that have originality, like Adidas. I think that's what I'm drawn too.

MC : That's a great answer. You're very good at managing social life.

MN: I'm working hard in life.

MC : Who do you think is the most positive influence in your life? 

MN: Well, I'm blessed with a lot of great people around me, so there are many. But it would have to be my fellow WINNER members... Speaking of, we're going to be having a concert soon. I hope many of you can come.
