Q: What is the best thing about being the leader/maknae?

Shownu: Fans always tell me, “You’re the best leader”.

I.M: I am loved by a lot more people than I expected.

Q: What is the hardest thing about being the leader/maknae?

Shownu: When I hear the fans say that (I’m the best leader), I do feel pressured and a will to do better.

I.M: I’m happy….

Q: When are you most envious of the leader/maknae, or when are you surprised by them?

Shownu: He is young, but there are times he acts more maturely than I do. I like our maknae because he is loved by everyone.

I.M: He is always so cool. I’m always proud. But is there anything I envy…? Nah.

Q: If you were born again, do you want to be the leader or the maknae?

Shownu: It doesn’t matter.

I.M: However I’m born is who I’ll be.

Q: A word of encouragement to your maknae for the new year.

Shownu: You worked really hard last year, and I hope that we can have a good, healthy relationship this year as well.

I.M: Let’s make 10 billion won. Let’s enjoy what we do and stay healthy.

2. SEVENTEEN: S.Coups and Dino

Q: What is the best thing about being the leader/maknae?

S.Coups:  I don’t think being a leader earns me any special privileges. I am just another member.

Dino: I have 12 strong hyungs I can rely on.

Q: What is the hardest thing about being the leader/maknae?

S.Coups: There aren’t any special struggles either. I am just another member.

Dino: There are 12 very strong hyungs near me all the time.

Q: When are you most envious of the leader/maknae, or when are you surprised by them?

S.Coups: I don’t have any times like that. The maknae is also just another member of the group.

Dino: Never, really.

Q: If you were born again, do you want to be the leader or the maknae?

S.Coups:  I would be thankful just to become a member.

Dino: I think I will be happy as long as I can be a member of our group again.

Q: A word of encouragement to your maknae for the new year.

S.Coups & Dino: I hope your new year is filled with good fortune.

3. TWICE: Jihyo and Chaeyoung

Q: What is the best thing about being the leader/maknae?

Jihyo: I learned to organise my thoughts a little better.

Chaeyoung: Because I’m the maknae, the unnies always think I’m cute and they take extra care of me.

Q: What is the hardest thing about being the leader/maknae?

Jihyo: Sometimes when the members all have different opinions, it can be difficult to come to an agreement, but the members help me a lot.

Chaeyoung: Because I’m the maknae, when the filming goes in age order I am always last.

Q: When are you most envious of the leader/maknae, or when are you surprised by them?

Jihyo: Everyone has their own respective role so I don’t think I envy my members.

Chaeyoung: When she takes all of our opinions, organises them, and presents our thoughts to the higher-ups even though it must be intimidating.

Q: If you were born again, do you want to be the leader or the maknae?

Jihyo: I am the oldest of my siblings and the leader of my team so I’ve never had a chance to be the maknae TT. But still, I think I am personally more fit to be the leader than a maknae.

Chaeyoung: I want to stay as the maknae. The leader does not suit me. I am a very quiet person. I think it’s best to do my best in my given role.

Q: A word of encouragement to your maknae for the new year.

Jihyo: Please stay as our cute and lovable maknae this year and forever!

Chaeyoung: Thank you for being our supportive pillar, and I love you.
