KoreanWaveINA (KWI) : Its your first time coming to Indonesia. How is your impression about this country also the fans?

LUNAFLY (L) : We know that the weather is very good which we are looking forward to. We also hear the food is very spicy and delicious, so we can't wait to try the food. We do get a lot of supporting message from our fans in Indonesia which we really appreciate. Its clear that our fans are very pro active in supporting us, so we very much want to pay them back with a memorable concert.

KWI : What kind of foods that you want to try in Indonesia?

L : We are looking forward to trying satay (sate) and gado-gado, we heard those foods are so delicious.

KWI : It's actually rare an acoustic group/band among so many kpop idol group nowadays. So, what/who's inspiring LUNAFLY in making a good music and also daring to be different?

L : Well, our artistic inspiration comes from our own lives and memories. We tend to write about things that are relevant to us. In regards to 'daring to be different', our inspiration comes from the fact that we are very honest in our songs and we try to sing with passion.

KWI : What do you think the reason for your music to be so widely accepted?

L : We think that is because perhaps people and our fans know that we try to sing with passion and truthfulness. It also might have something to do with the fact that we always release English version of our songs for our fans abroad.

KWI : You were just debuted last year, is there any advice or support that your seniors in NEGANETWORK gave to you?

L : We had a lot of advice from our seniors, Brown Eyed Girls, who told us about how tough it can be at times to work in this industry but to enjoy what we are doing. We also had a lot of advice about the importance of staying humble and working hard to achieve our dreams.

KWI : What was the best piece of advice that you received from your seniors?

L : Stay humble and remember to be thankful to people who help you.

KWI : How long have you been playing music?

Sam (S) : I have been involved in music since the age of 7, when I learned to play the violin. Then I started to play guitar and write songs in my mid teen years.

Yun (Y) : I started playing guitar and singing at the age of 13.

Teo (T) : I started palying jazz piano at the age of 16.

KWI : What was the happiest thing you have encountered in LUNAFLY's activities?

L : We have had a lot of great moments. Having our first concert in Tokyo, Japan is a moment we will never forget. Playing at other concerts and having people sing along to our songs is also an amazing feeling. For us any moment where we meet our fans is a happy moment.

KWI : When LUNAFLY continues growing, what is the thing that will never change?

L : We will stay true to our musical colour.

KWI : If you could describe LUNAFLY in one colour, what would it be and why?

L : Purple. We regard it as a mysterious colour and a colour related to the night. As a team trying to explore feelings associated with the moon, purple would describe us well.

L : We would certainly like to collaborate with our label seniors the Brown Eyed Girls.

S : I would love to work with producers I respect like Timbaland and Will.i.am

KWI : If you didn't become a singer, what would you have become?
