VOGUE, DECEMBER 2016
We manage to catch the rising actors of Frame by Frame in the midst of their busy schedules for an interview. The two actors have been a lot busier these days, but an appointment with both of them have been settled in a corner of a quiet cafe in Itaewon. Tonight Kris has his stylish winter coat on while Suho looks comfortable with his sweater. They have always been the contrast we admire.
​
What are you guys up to these days?
K: I just finished filming my next movie in Shanghai. I literally just flew in here last night [Kris laughs]
S: I auditioned for a new role last week, and I’m just praying for the best now.
K: Is that the thing you told me yesterday?
S: Yes, it is. It is a secret.
​
Frame by Frame hit the best rating for webdrama this month.
K: Really? This is my first time hearing about it.
S: I’m actually monitoring the progress and glad that they like what we made.
​
Congratulations for such a big achievement.
S: Because we are trying something new, I didn’t expect people would like it.
K: They are talking about it in China, too. It surprised me when one of my fans told me they like the latest episode at the airport.
​
The viewers love the chemistry you show in the series. But how are you guys really in real life?
K: We got close after the filming. Both of us are busy now, but when we are free we make sure to contact each other.
S: When he is back in China or filming in other countries he sent me pictures.
K: They are beautiful, right?
S: Yes, very much. I would like to go there sometimes.
K: Next time I’ll take you with me [Kris says this with a serious face, but Suho laughs it away]
​
We prepare a special corner called ‘Relationship Test’ to see if you guys are really close to each other.
[Suho looks flustered with surprise, while Kris claps his hands in excitement.]
S: This is so sudden!
K: Can we do it, though?
S: We can, we can.
​
Vogue is giving them same questions to answer but they can’t see the other’s answers to see if both of them know each other well.
​
What’s Kris’s shoe size?
S: Oh my God.
K: Do you know? You don’t know. I’ve never told you.
[Suho looks down at Kris’s feet and compares their feet together]
K: You are cheating!
S: Am not! Um, 280? 290?
K: You cheated.
S: Am I right? [Suho is correct] Yes!
K: You totally cheated.
​
What’s Suho’s favorite color?
K: Purple. [Kris is correct]
S: It’s too easy!
K: It’s too easy.
​
Which sport does Kris like to do?
S: Basketball. [Suho is correct]
K: Now this one is too easy.
​
What’s Suho’s favorite Japanese dish?
S: What is it?
K: You don’t know?
S: Oh! I remember now.
K: Takoyaki? [Kris is wrong] It’s wrong? But you told me about that takoyaki stall you frequented at Apgujeong Station.
S: It’s really delicious, but my heart is for Sushi.
​
What’s the funniest thing you’ve said to each other?
K: Suho is never funny.
S: I’m changing my answer to that.
K: [Kris laughs] Okay, that’s a good one.
​
Tea or coffee?
K: He’s [Suho, -red] a coffee man. Koreans love coffee, americano all day. I don’t even understand. They drink it like it’s mineral water.
S: You do, too.
K: You’re a bad influence. But I prefer the tea my mom always makes me back home.
​
Any habit of each other that annoys you off?
S: I wrote in my answer sheet that he snores too loud when he sleeps.
K: When?
S: When we roomed together for that celebration trip after the filming ended.
K: You didn’t tell me.
S: What, should I record and set it as your alarm?
K: Now that’s the habit of yours that always annoys me off.
​
Last question, do you believe in soul mates?
S: I do.
K: [Kris pauses for a while] Yeah, a bit.
​
Thank you for your time. It’s been pleasing meeting with you. I hope for the best for your careers.
S: Thank you for having us.
K: It's a pleasure to have this interview.
