D-LITE STYLE Vol. 3
Vol.3 Things that will not change even in the future and treasure is…. ?!

OS: So, in “Sunny Hill”, there is a sentence that says “something that is called treasure”, what is D-LITE san’s treasure and most important thing?
D-LITE: Of course it is all my fans. In the path of walking here I met many different obstacles and hurdles that I need to overcome, but all my fans gave me huge energy. The completion of my album this time is also anticipated by many, so to return the fans love, I worked hard with the thought of repaying my fans and creating a good piece of work. Without support from them, I don’t think the album can be completed, I don’t even think I could survive being Bigbang’s D-LITE. I really really am very thankful to all my fans. Thank you. Also, my family is also my treasure, so I thank them from my heart as well, but because I am too shy, I can’t say it out loud… (wry smile). However, the relationship in my family is very good!

OS: Just to ask, D-LITE san has an elder sister. Have both of you tried quarreling hugely?
D-LITE: When I was in elementary school I quarreled with her every day. It was all about small matters. For example, “Noona what do you want to eat?” “Uhhh…” “Noona what do you want?” “Uhhh..” like this, no matter how many times I asked she will always reply me with “Uhh…” It can go on for 2-30 times with just an “Uhh..”, after that I stated angrily that she doesn't need to do that already but she still continued it. I wanted my sister to acknowledge me but she was always very cold (wry smile).

OS: Your elder sister is very mature.
D-LITE: For me, I really want to quarrel with my sister loudly, but now that I think again, the sister who handled it so calmly and in a mature way is really clever. Ah, however, whenever my sister eats the ham and sausage that I want to eat, I will still think she is too much (laugh). There are strict household rules in the family, for the sake of health, we will usually have many healthy food for our 3 meals like beans and vegetables. Meat like ham or sausage can only be eaten occasionally. So when I see ham being placed on the table I will feel very happy but my sister will always take my ham whenever I am busy eating something else (laugh). Even if I say angrily “this is my ham!” but she will say “huh? What did you say?”, as if nothing has happened. 

OS: Needless to say, your sister must have been doing it very often (laugh).
D-LITE: Because it is rare to have meat so I will always save it to the last and eat.  However my sister will say “you are also not eating it already” and it sounded like she was helping me finishing my leftovers (laugh).

OS: In the end, it was your sister’s ultimate win again.
D-LITE: Yes, I never win when it comes to quarrels. So I give up quarrelling (laugh). Ah, however, the main reason for me not wanting to continue quarrelling is something else…. There was a knitting assignment given to me before, I didn't do it well. After angering my sister who was at the side, I did it halfway and left it there to sleep. The next day I just went to school as per normal, on the table there was a note with my sister’s handwriting stating “take this with you” and the completed product on the table. After looking at that, I was so touched and thought of the things I did to my sister which I felt sorry about. I couldn't stop crying because I remembered how I angered her the night before and I was regretting it badly. After that time, I have a huge respect for my sister. 

OS: Having a sister who cares so much for the brother and also a brother who cares so much for the sister… it is really a strong sister-brotherly relationship.
D-LITE: Right now we stay separately, but I feel that the relationship between us will always stay this way, or I should say, it will become stronger.

OS: There’s a lyric which says “something that is changing something that won’t change”, so apart from this relationship with your sister, do you have anything that you would not change?
D-LITE: I am the type of person who will be unhappy when I can’t make it in time. Even if I am a little late after the appointment time, I will be in a bad attitude the entire day. I am even more so like this during work, even if it’s the rest time when I am alone, I will also be like this. After waking up from sleep, I will always plan how many minutes I am going to spend for showering, for preparing, for eating etc.. I will plan the entire day out and I HAVE to follow the plan.

OS: Is this a habit fostered after joining Bigbang because of the rushed schedule? Or were you already like this since young?
D-LITE: I think it was fostered from young when my dad taught me that I have to keep to the appointment time, so it naturally became my habit.

OS: What if you made an appointment but the other person is late?
D-LITE: I don’t mind waiting for people, so I do not mind if the person is late, the important thing is what time I arrive.

OS: So, you will continue waiting for the other person no matter how late they are right.
D-LITE: Ah however, if I wait for about 10 minutes and they are not here I will leave (laugh).

OS: This is quite harsh.
D-LITE: Ahaha. If it is above 10 minutes I will have to start charging them money.. I'm joking (laugh). If the other party has a reason, I won’t get angry, but I just want to avoid having my plans being messed up. I think, I have an illness in this area (laugh).
