In the same interview, the idol also updated fans on what he's been up to lately.
He shared that during the military, he developed a love for studying and wine. In particular, when he was discharged, he took interest more in cuisine mixed with wine, aside from drinking it once in a while.
After coming back from the military, Suho confessed that he's actually not used to using dance challenge applications yet, apparently TikTok, which is one of the social media sites used by K-pop artists to promote a release.
When asked if there's any dance that gained his attention, Suho expressed love for the junior group, aespa.
"Actually, it's not because they were my junior, but there is a dance that I remember the most, which is aespa's 'Next Level.' During their promotion, I also want to dance to it, but I wasn't able to. So I want to try it one day, although I'm a little bit worried because it's a past trend, I want to try it still."
