My Name is L (Kim Myungsoo)

[10Asia Interview Part 2] Infinite | My name is…3

My name is L. My real name is Kim MyungSoo.

I was born on March 13, 1992. My home is Seoul and I have a brother who is two years younger than me.

I was the one who created the name L. There are people who ask me if I don’t use my real name because of Park MyungSoo sunbaenim, but that’s not it. It just happened this way. Ah, and it’s not L from <Death Note>, either. (WooHyun: But even from the trainee days, his aura was similar to L’s. His hair was long then too.)

I was interested in acting and modeling, but I went to go see a lot of musicals and ended up auditioning as a singer.

I often hear that I resemble KimBum sunbaenim. (SungGyu: He happens to go to the same hair salon as us and I met him once. Eum…KimBum sunbaenim is really cool.) Eum…people say that. Even when I look at him, his face is small and he’s tall. (SungGyu: Yeah, what’s not is what’s not. You must grow strong!)

During Mnet’s <You’re My Oppa>, I got angry after seeing Jiae go to the pool hall with her friends during test season. When I dragged her out by the wrist without any words, I was really expressing my feelings honestly.

When there is a fight about a discussion within our team, it’s about choosing what to eat. It’s hard to agree on a menu because there’s so many of us, so our manager hyung narrows it down to about four and we choose from there. To be honest, there isn’t a person who puts in a strong suggestion, so when we feel that it’s not right, we have the types of personalities to just let other people’s suggestions through.

The same foods that we all like are samgyupsal, chicken, and pizza. (SungYeol: Occasionally, the president comes by without warning and buys us meat after saying, “You guys’ bodies don’t look good”. When that happens, he looks really cool. SungGyu: We have morning schedules so when we eat at night our faces get bloated, but those times when he tells us that we must eat what we want to eat!)

It’s been over a year since I’ve lived with the members in the dorm. (WooHyun: I’m so sick of it!) There are times when I want to escape. Times I have actually escaped? None. (SungGyu: Our manager hyung is right next to us, so we can’t say anything right now.)

I bought a really loud alarm clock, but since some time ago, I can’t even hear it anymore because I’m so tired. So we chose a wake-up person for every morning, and if that person cannot wake up or wake the others up, then they have to pay a fine. Because we put up something of substance like that, people who couldn’t wake up before now wake up immediately and scolds everyone to hurry and wake up. Ha ha.

My role model is DBSK. I liked them since ‘Hug’, and although there are people who think it’s fascinating that a male student likes DBSK, I like their unique musical color. I think their songs are cool, from the bright-styled ‘Hug’ to ‘Rising Sun’ or ‘Purple Line’, which is more powerful.
