Speaking about his career, Mingyu told Arena Homme+:

“Viewers (who watched ‘Nana Tour‘) might think, ‘Since there was a camera, everyone must have realized a little bit.’ But that didn’t happen at all. Watching the show , I was like, ‘I think I’ve shown you all my no-nonsense appearances.’ I think it was an enjoyable journey.”

Speaking on his fans being his biggest driving force, Seventeen Mingyu says:

“It’s always difficult to work and rehearse songs. But the joy of being on stage after such a difficult time is much greater. Now I know the joy of showing my new self to the fans. “
