To celebrate WHIB’s comeback with CHERRY PIE, we caught up with each member individually.
For HASEUNG, growth has meant moving from simply performing music to understanding it. As WHIB’s main vocalist, he has gradually developed a broader perspective on different genres while becoming someone the other members can turn to when it comes to music. When the group faces pressure or uncertainty, his instinct is often to work through it by making music — turning a challenge into another opportunity to create. That growing sense of understanding has also shaped how he sees WHIB’s future.
Rather than being known only for their individual strengths, HASEUNG hopes the group will be recognised for the quality of their performances, with their musical knowledge and preparation ultimately translating into something audiences can feel on stage.
Your role has expanded beyond being a main vocalist. How do you see your position in the group now?
HASEUNG I think my role goes beyond being the main vocalist, as I also tend to help the other members a lot when it comes to music.
How has your understanding of music changed since debuting?
When we debuted, I think I was mostly just performing the music rather than really understanding it. Now, I’ve come to understand more about different genres and have developed a broader musical perspective.
When the group is unsure or under pressure, how do you usually respond?
I think I usually work through it by making music.
What do you want listeners to associate with WHIB’s sound in the next few years?
I’d like people to say that WHIB is a group that is really good at performing on stage.
