JMSD is known for being the top rookie band in Asia
Having dominated the top billboard charts for a consecutive 15 weeks with their hit song JmJm. The members Jejjmin and Michael have also been venturing into different areas of work. Jejjmin starring in the hit drama Boys Over Flowers 2 as well as dating Park Jungmin of veteran band SS501. Now it’s time for the main man Michael to take the stage with his first solo project for Valentine’s Day called Monopoly.

Here is a brief Profile on Michael!

Michael is known for stealing fan girls hearts with his ageyo! But now he will show us a more sad and serious side to love; as soon as he walked into the room I was blinded by his good looks as he smiled sweetly bowing.

SM: Annyeonghaseyo Michael oppa it’s great to see you; how do you feel about JMSD becoming known as the top rookie group in Asia?
Michael: kamsamnida for inviting me it’s great to be here to communicate with our international fans; to be honest I was shocked when our company’s director Lee Mansoo called me and Jejjmin into the office and delivered the news. I never thought we would do as well as we have and we are both very thankful to all the fans who have given us unlimited support and love since our training days. Now we are determined to work harder and hope to gain love from many more people as we are a group who desire to satisfy the nation. He smiled

SM: Wow your devotion to music is amazing. So we have seen you recently on inkigayo have you got any other musical talents that you have been keeping form us?

Michael: KeKeKe I knew you would bring up this topic; as a matter of fact I do! Not only do I play the piano but I also enjoy playing the bass guitar. I think the music created from all different instruments is really unique and beautiful to hear. I really hope I can gain the ability to play more instruments.

SM: Seeing your new song is to do with Valentine’s Day what is your opinion on Jejjmin and Park Jungmin being an official couple.
Michael: Laughs To be honest I’m very happy for my fellow band mate. We have been close friends for ages and she’s always liked him even before she came to Korea. I wish them all the luck with their relationship and that I will always be there for her as we are JMSD.

SM: So oppa is there any special lady who might have inspired your song monopoly? We hear a lot of rumours about you and SNSD’s Jessica especially as she is the main in your new music video and she’s your ideal girl!

Michael: Blushes... Me and Jessica noona? He He we have always been close to each other but who knows eh I’m not going to say anything! He winked to us. It was an honour to have such a stunning and talented noon to work with me. Everyone always believes she is a ice princess but she’s sweet and quite dorky really.


SM: Ah we see... well then how about you explain to us monopoly and your new concept behind it as many fan girls have been expecting this.

Michael: well being a special because of Valentine’s Day approaching it is a ballad song with a soft and sad melody. Monopoly is the love a guy goes through when he thinks he has found his one true love. However she leaves him and his heart can’t erase the memories so she has monopolised his heart and everywhere he goes he is reminded of their love. Jejjmin and our cordi noona worked very hard chose the concept to very angelic to represent the innocence and naivety of love. It also will appeal to those who have also been hurt as well as the couples who shall be spending Valentine’s Day together.

SM: seeing as your working mainly in Asia at the moment do you not miss London? Even though you are a Korean citizen?

Michael: I spent my teenage years in London in which I made loads of friends who I do miss and I also met Jejjmin during that time. However I don’t miss London much as most of my family and friends are over here and I’m never alone because of our schedules but when I have the time I would like to visit again.

SM: It’s been great getting to know you a bit better today Michael and we hope we can have more interviews more often. As a last request could you please say something to your fans and the readers of Seoul music?
Michael: thank you for having me in on this interview it was really nice to see our music spreading throughout the world. To all my fans out there thank you so much for the support you show me and Jejjmin and we promise to make JMSD even bigger and better. To all the readers of Seoul Music I hope you continue your love of K-Pop and continue to support this amazing magazine.
