The interview has to be published in Klik magazine before we can post it here. As soon as I get it I will post it -maybe it will be out at the end of May :)
I think SM Ent. just grabbed hold of whoever was available at that point in time. Pretty sure Yixing had no idea about this even, although questions were provided. Haha.
Oh, there was just some controversy in the Korean media over whether the film was mocking Asians in a couple scenes.
I haven't seen it yet, but people who have convincingly argued that the one scene involving Emma Stone's character was being taken out of context: she's buying flowers from a Korean man who hassling/yelling at her and she angrily snaps at him about the place smelling like kimchi (her character's supposed to be a real piece of work, lol) - people thought it was racist and that she only said that because he was Korean, but it turns out she's in a Korean delicatessen that sells flowers alongside Korean food (like kimchi), not just a flower shop (as the media initially implied or misstated).
Tbh, even if the character was being a racist, I wouldn't necessarily find it problematic (as there are casually racist/prejudiced people in this world) unless the film didn't recognize that it was racism, and endorsed her behavior as genuinely funny and not symptomatic of her ugliness as a person (but like I said, it's probably not

And Booo! @ Kai only providing one (safe) answer. Why did Sehun & Chanyeol take over the interview - did some members not participate? lol
I liked learning that Kyungsoo enjoyed Birdman - I guess he didn't find it problematic.
Kaisoo are Uptown Funk fans!
