00:00TEAM's motto sort of is to rise and realize.
00:03I think we're doing pretty well.
00:05Slowly going up, that's our goal.
00:14I've always liked to be on stage since I was in middle school.
00:19I wanted to be an artist when I was in high school.
00:25Hi, I'm Shotaro.
00:27I listen to a lot of different genres of music these days.
00:35The artists I was inspired by are
00:38Justin Timberlake, Usher, and pH-1.
00:45My first impression?
00:47I think I was very shy.
00:49At first, we didn't talk much.
00:54It took a while for us to get to know each other.
00:58I think we got close once we started having dance practice together.
01:04All of us sweating and dancing to music together.
01:07I think that was a really natural way for us to open up.
01:11We played around a bit.
01:14The first time I wanted to be an artist was
01:18when I sang in front of people for the first time when I was a student.
01:23Hi, my name is Sohee.
01:25I listen to a lot of different genres of music.
01:28Recently, I've been listening to Justin Bieber.
01:31I think K-pop has been a part of our lives since we were young.
01:39I think I started to like K-pop when I was a trainee.
01:45I think it's similar to our agency.
01:48The first time I felt like that was
01:50when I first came to SM to watch a concert.
01:55When I heard the cheers, I knew I had to do this.
02:02Hi, my name is Wonbin from R1SE.
02:05I listen to a lot of pop, but I've been listening to a lot of ballads.
02:12The artists I'm most inspired by are
02:15Mike Jackson and Chris Brown.
02:20It didn't feel real until we debuted.
02:28I think it was when we did KCON LA.
02:33I think it was when we came to LA to shoot our first music video.
02:39The weather was great.
02:41It was the first time we traveled abroad together.
02:46I think it was a great moment.
02:49I got casted for the first time.
02:51After I joined the company, I practiced and dreamed of becoming an artist.
02:57Hi, I'm Eunsuk.
02:59The artists I'm most inspired by are
03:01Maroon 5, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran.
03:06When we debuted for the first time,
03:11a lot of people around the world liked our song,
03:17and we're releasing a new mini album.
03:22I'm looking forward to how people around the world will react.
03:31I think we'll be able to show a different side of us.
03:37I think I always wanted to be involved in music one way or another since I was young.
03:44I think becoming a K-pop idol really started around the time K-pop started to get really famous in America.
03:54I saw the impact it had on the people around me.
03:58That's when I thought maybe I would like to be a part of it.
04:02Hello, my name is Anton, and I'm a member of the group R1SE.
04:07My personal taste in music...
04:09I don't really have any music that I don't like.
04:12The songs in our album...
04:14Some songs have a love message,
04:17or some songs have our memories from being a trainee.
04:21I think the underlying message that we want
04:24is just for the people who listen to our songs
04:27to be able to connect with them emotionally,
04:30and I think that's what our goal is with this album.
04:33The moment I wanted to be an artist...
04:37When I was in middle school, I saw SHINee and EXO's music videos and performances.
04:44I thought, I want to be an artist like them.
04:49Hi, my name is Sungchan.
04:51Out of the three artists I'm inspired by,
04:55the first one is Kai from EXO,
04:58Taeyang from BIGBANG,
05:01and Jungkook from BTS.
05:05I respect them a lot.
05:08Thank you so much to BLRIS for always supporting us no matter what.
05:14We will continue to show you great performances
05:18not only through the PENCON tour,
05:21but also through our mini-albums and various activities,
05:24so I'd appreciate it if you could continue to support us.
