[TRANS] 120627 Lay Interview @ Pop Magazine

The Pain of Growth
Lay: “For Chinese trainees, the largest difficulty would be the language. At first there was a language barrier, the cultures also had differences between them. I took almost a whole year to adapt to the life here, and training within that time, thinking back to the amount of effort that I put in and the foundations I laid, it was really worth it. It’s been a long time; I’m becoming more familiar to the environment, and getting along better with the Korean trainees. The difficulties are naturally being overcome.”
Intellectuality
With the unique understanding and recognition of the two words “entertainment” (T/N: in Chinese it’s two characters); he will not accept unknown information so easily, his initiative, education and adaptation are all very strong; the one who seizes every opportunity is him, the one who complains is him, the one who mocks is also him and the one who sums up all the words is still him. When he isn’t singing or dancing, he’d have a slower reaction by half a beat, and his speciality is spacing out, but actually, he pays extreme attention to the observance of his surroundings. You can also see an intelligence from his body that seems “seldom foolish.” The fact that he has these thoughts and the good point of having a clear goal, gives him extra points.
Lead DancerLay: “I felt very fortunate; there are many seniors in our company who dance brilliantly. With the goal of them in mind, I’ve been training hard. Also, our dance teachers are amazing, I was once very lucky to be able to follow SHINee seniors for the opportunity to perform on stage for their Japanese concert. This experience was extremely valuable and I think I can put it to use for my entire life.”
Instruments & CookingIn a recent interview, Lay performed with a guitar and sang <Xin Bu Liao Qing> (T/N: It’s a Chinese hit song, which Lay performed on Yin Yue Tai’s interview), which caused the audience to be surprised; Lay is also good at playing the guitar and the piano and everyone is anticipating his composing skills. On the other hand, even though it doesn’t look like it, Lay is the member who cooks for everyone in the dorm. When someone shouts that he’s hungry, Lay will go into the kitchen and take the pot and start to cook (on another note, Lay’s favourite food is spicy fried pork). He knows how to live, he knows how to entertain, he specialises in dance, he knows how to cook, he’s very all-rounded.source
