First of all, your hair is amazing. Now, I want to know what inspired you to do the blue and the purple and the pinkish. I feel like there’s a lot of flavor going on right there.

Taeyong:
Yeah. Actually, this idea is my stylist’s. … She is really brilliant for this kind of job.

Tetris Kelly:
Well, yeah, you look amazing! And also you dropped your debut solo album. … How’s it feel to now be standing up for yourself, representing only you? How’s it been?

Taeyong:
It’s a little bit … I have some pressures. But I really really, I really, really excited and I can’t wait anymore. I want to go to stage, and I want to perform right now.

Tetris Kelly:
Well, they’re excited to see you perform! And you were giving your stylist some credit, but also you’re on the cover of Elle. So you have a lot of fashion yourself. So how’s it feel to do fashion and music kind of at the same time? How do they complement each other?
