"There are so many people who respect you, can I tell you everything?"
Band 2z (Bum Jun, Ji-seop, Hojin, Hyun-woong, and Chung Hyeon) said with a sparkle when asked about the role model at an Interview recently conducted with Hankyung.com on New Year's Day.
2z released its first EP album "Tuzi: (WE Tuzi:)" on the 14th and is actively performing on various music broadcasts with its title song "My First Hero". "My First Hero" is a new genre crunk core that combines a crunk genre that combines punk, illegic and dance with a scrimmo genre that rattles around it, firmly showing the musical style of the rock band 2z.
The energy-filled and intense 2z music based on rock sound is familiar and has a strong personality. The title song music video is also filmed in familiar places such as subway stations, schools, and Incheon Central Market, and the vintage atmosphere is impressive. The concept that members meet at a concert hall using different means of transportation and change clothes and perform is a free and passionate 2z aspiration.
Asked for a team introduction, Hojin said, "Our music is basically rock. There are explosive songs that can play with rock music, and there are rock ballads that can tell our own stories. " "It can be a little unfamiliar compared to peer bands; all the teams that are motifs are foreign bands; maybe the color of the band that is not seen in Korea will come out," he said.
Chung Hyeon also said, "When I listen to the feedback around me, I heard that the song is fresh, too." Bum Jun said, "I would like you to think of 2z and think that you are singing like this."
When asked if there was a 'role model', the members' expressions changed seriously. Ji-seop, who is in charge of guitar and sub-vocals, said, "I started working as a model, but I liked music originally. When I was in the entrance exam, I came across Nirvana's Kurt Cobain video, and I had a dream about music for a while, but I finally got ready again. Another musician I like is Aerosmith. "
"The first broadcast was KBS2 'Music Bank', and it was really awkward because it was the first stage I tried at that time. I didn't know what to look like when I was playing drums, and I thought I should catch the concept well, so I thought of a sexy and cool image, but Hyun Woong asked me to see EXO Kai. So I saw the dancing video and it was so sexy. From then on, I practiced my face while watching Kai's video.
"It's hard to point out one, and I admire a lot of singers, and I'm trying to take their good things out and make them my own color," said Hyun-woong, a rapper.
Chung Hyeon, who is in charge of the bass, said, "Our company is the current president and Jung Han-jong, a former bassist from South Korea's best band Sinawi, is a role model. He laughed, saying, "I was the first and last student." He said, "In the past, I practiced in a situation that was so poor that I could not compare it to now. At that time, I did not have YouTube, so I listened to the song and practiced it right away. I think it is a person who can respect that he entered the best band. "
Jung Han-jong, mentioned by Chung Hyeon, is a bassist who has worked in Sinawi and Butterfly Effect, which have made a stroke of South Korea rock band history. 2z said, "Not only when you are Lesson, but also usually give advice based on your experience." The members called him "mental landlord." The members "come a lot to get close to us. He says to call him the captain, not the representative. He is a really good person. "
Finally, the main vocalist, Hojin, said, "The Poles Sting or Linkin Park Chester Bennington is a role model." "I want to be modeled because the style of singing is so cool."
