this has been around for about a week, but i just found it.

This interview is from 2003

I still remember the first time I have in contact with se7en, It was in a record store in the center of Seoul. The cover of his CD was very simple, just a big ” 7″ locate in the middle. After flipping through the booklet in his CD, I feel like he is just like Rain, dressing in a Hip Hop style and showing all different kind of pose. Even though 2 years have gone by, that “Must listen” CD I’ve already listened so many times, this is the first time I have a close contact with him.

Se7en was schedule to visit HK for 3 days, but he still accept the offer of this interview. The first thing he did as he arrived to the studio is sleep. He was sleeping on the sofa with his cap and sunglasses on. Even with the noise of the cameras, and the loudness of us talking he can still sleep like there is no disturbance. But after his agent tells him to get ready, he quickly settle himself to the best shape possible, and neatly sat still just like a regular high school student.

Between the interview, I found out besides se7en looking like a high school student, he is sweeter than I thought. How can I describe this professional and hansome boy as sweet? Well, maybe I should say he really likes to smile. He smiles while facing camera and also off camera too. He kept on smiling until his eyes are tight just like a string across his face. I guess it’s this cute, pure and naive smile made all the asian girls fall for him.

“You should be a good lover !” I said. After se7en hear my compliment he smiled again and replied me “No, not really, I don’t have a girlfriend right now, I’m too occupied with my work! But even if a girl ask me out, I still can’t accept her because if I know I won’t be able to have time to spend with her, then I don’t want to delay her bright future, so I’m not a good lover right at this moment.”

“To me, happiness don’t have to be an oath. Happiness can simply be doing the stuff she likes with her, and gladly accept her life, then I think she will easily feel the happiness.”

Se7en think it’s not hard to handle relationships, in a matter of fact, it’s all about honesty. So, Se7en’s dream girl is very simple, and that is the girl must have the same thought with him. He want someone who will be able to share his happiness and sadness that appears in life. “I’m not a very romantic person. I don’t know how to say stuff to impress girls. The only thing I know how to say is I love you.” Se7en told me. After hearing his word, I smiled at him and told him that it’s ok to not be romantic, because the 3 “I love you” words is already powerful enough to steal a women’s heart.

” When was the first time you say I love you?” I asked him. He said he forgot it already. ” My first relationship started in 5th grade. I really liked a girl in our class, so I wrote a letter to her. It’s just a few simple words like I really like you.”
“So what is her feedback?” I asked him. ” We went out for about a month, but when I think back now, I don’t even think thats a real relationship. It’s just that we hang out in school, but we never really had a date. But anyway, I count that as my first relationship!”

Even though Se7en admitted that he is not a romantic person, but I can still feel that who ever date him, she must be filled with his warmth, and must be melted by his smile. Since Se7en was little, he is use to share happiness with his surrounding people. He leaves all the pain and sadness to himself. “When I feel frustrated, I rarely share my pain with my friends, I just use singing and dancing to let-off my frustration. Then I eat a delicious meal and go to sleep.” He expressed. “So, when was the last time you cry?” I asked him curiously. “Never, I will not let myself be unhappy for long, because when I am unhappy, I find a way to cure it instently. I find ways to let my self stay happy.” He replied.

“I am now studying at Korea’s Dankook University. Last year, Rain attended the ceremony marking beginning of the school year. Last week my classmates and I were late to class, and we saw that Rain was in class! Last year our university had invited him to perform, last week during the university’s 60th anniversary a concert was held where “IVY” and some other performers whom I didn’t recognize performed. When he came to class, he had an agent/bodyguard with him, but when class started, the agent left. The entire school got the news and everyone started to crowd at Rain’s classroom to catch a glimpse of him. Heard that eventually Rain’s agent came to get him and left. The university has many branches/campuses, I am in the Seoul campus, and so is Rain. Heard that he’s been to class twice already. ”
