### ――How do you feel about "T1419 EDEL HOUSE" being broadcast in Japan?

GUNWOO "I was very excited when I heard that it was going to be broadcast. The reason being, the atmosphere during the filming of "T1419 EDEL HOUSE" and the outstanding chemistry between the members that was shown there! And I think it's filled with elements that fans will enjoy, so when I heard it was going to be broadcast, I was really looking forward to it."

**――"T1419 EDEL HOUSE" is based on the theme of a boarding house, but you are all currently living in a camp, aren't you? What do you like about living together?**

KAIRI "I think the best time for me is when we get together at Christmas or New Year's and eat delicious food. This is something we can do because we are all together at the camp. It's like having everyone together around the dining table."

ZERO "It fits, it fits (laughs)."

KAIRI: "I think we all have many opportunities to talk together while eating delicious food."

NOA "For me, it is that the room is warm in winter because there are many members. Temperature by our sentiment?"

All of them "... (laugh)"

ON: "What do you mean by temperature by emotion?"

NOA "Our tight bond? I think it's good because you can feel that as a temperature."

**――What are the room assignments & roles at the camp?**

ON "Well, let me start with our room! We are in room B. ON, GUNWOO, LEO, and SIAN are in the same room. If I had to assign a person to be in charge, GUNWOO is in charge of the mood maker of the room!"

GUNWOO: "Yes, that's right! They're noisy until the wee hours of the morning."

ON "LEO is in charge of slamming down from the top bunk of the bunk bed. He has never come down quietly once!"

LEO: "No... Let me give you an excuse, I want to come down quietly, but it's difficult."

ON "SIAN hyung is in charge of cleanliness, keeping the room clean! Also, he's in charge of the morning alarm, because when the alarm on Brother SIAN's phone goes off, no one stops it (lol). all four of us, including Brother SIAN, don't stop it, so he's in charge of the wake-up call! What am I in charge of?"

GUNWOO: "ON, you're in charge of eating chocolate flakes on the top bunk of the bed!"

ON "Yes. I am always in charge of eating cereal in bed. And sometimes I drop it on the bottom bunk..."

NOA "You are the most important person in charge."

GUNWOO "They share the food with me, lol."

ON: "Next, who will explain room A?"

KEVIN "In room A, NOA brother, myself, ZERO, KAIRI, and KIO share the same room. In our room, there are two people in charge of the slapstick that ON mentioned earlier!"

KAIRI: "Wow! Who's who?"

KEVIN "The slapstickers in our room are KAIRI and our youngest son, KIO."

KIO "What? Really?"

ON "The youngest, two of you!"

KEVIN: "ZERO would agree with me on this, right?"

ZERO "Yes (laughs)"

KEVIN "KIO and KAIRI use the top bunk of the bed, so they are the two in charge of slapstick."

KIO "It's pretty hard to get down from the top bunk!"

ON "Yes! Everyone on the lower bunk can't understand the agony of the upper bunk."

KIO "But when you get off, you jump off, don't you, brother KAIRI?"

GUNWOO "But doesn't KAIRI sleep in his room?"

KAIRI: "Lately I've been sleeping (in my room)."

GUNWOO "KAIRI always falls asleep in the living room, so I wake her up every morning with the hair dryer. While drying her hair..."

NOA "And make slamming noises while going to the living room!"

GUNWOO "Then KAIRI wakes up angrily saying, What are you doing? (laughs)"

KAIRI: "I don't talk like that!"

ZERO "It's the expression on your face, isn't it?"

GUNWOO "Yes, yes! Frowning (laughs)."

ON "Our life at the inn is like this. It's fun because we're buzzing around."

KEVIN "We enjoy living together."

**――What are the rules in the camp, if any?**

KIO: "Were there any rules?"

NOA "Rules! The clue is two letters!"

SIAN: "What was that?"

KIO "(ON gives KIO an earful...) Ahhh! Clean!"

KEVIN: "No, it's not! I think the most important thing in an accommodation is "consideration". Group living requires consideration!"

GUNWOO: "Normally, we would all say ohh... (laughs)"

KIO: "Yes! I was going to say consideration too!"

ON "In my opinion, the most important rule in group life is the dinner. I think it is an important rule in communal living because it helps to strengthen the unity of the team and provides an opportunity to confide in each other about hardships and other things that are hard to deal with."

GUNWOO: "What do you think brother NOA?"

NOA: "We will strive to make T1419 a cohesive communal living environment!"

**――Please let us know if there are any scenes or viewing points that you would recommend to those who are watching the show."**

ON "I think the first highlight is to see the chemistry between the MCs and us, T1419."

GUNWOO "And the various appearances of the MCs and us.... You will be able to see the colorful appearance of T1419 for the first time, so I think that's another point to watch."

NOA: "Through "T1419 EDEL HOUSE," many unique and fun images of our nine members will be shown. We had a lot of fun filming the show and we think it will be a really interesting show full of highlights, so please watch it! And please continue to give us, T1419, your full support."

That's all for now, Nine boys appear, T1419 - Thank you!
