4. Who do you think is the most talented dancer and why?
シェルビー: Kai of EXO because I think he has a background in a variety of dances.
pkimhi: Taemin from SHINee yo~ I mean, as far as group choreography goes, he is always the cleanest looking dance moves.

5. Who do you think is the most talented rapper and why?

シェルビー: Butterfly by G-Dragon because I love the fact that it was mostly animated and it was really artistic and pretty.
pkimhi: Oh YAY, so the MV "Beautiful Enough" by Verbal Jint ft. Sanchez is so good! It has a twist in the end that's like WOW!

18. Who is your ultimate bias group/artist and why (PICK ONLY ONE)?
シェルビー: Big Bang because no matter how long you have to wait for their next album or song (as a group), the wait is always worth it. They never disappoint you and their songs/performances just keep getting better.
pkimhi: Okay, so I really still have a love for SHINee.  They were the first boy group that I was into and they've just matured a lot since I started listening to them.  I still like a few of their recent songs and they just really seem to work well as a group.

19. Who is your ultimate bias member and why (PICK ONLY ONE)?
 シェルビー: Rap Monster of BTS because I really admire his personality as a rapper. On twitter he shares some pretty deep thoughts and always tweeting about songs he is listening to. You can tell he is really passionate about his work as a musician. He's not the most perfect artist but he's the perfect "imperfect" idol.
pkimhi: Shocker alert, not really... It's Jung Yonghwa from CNBLUE!  He composes a lot of the songs on their album like Can't Stop, and the song "you've fallen for me" from the Drama 'Heartstrings' and probably a lot more! Gotta love his skills and voice <3

20. Name your top 5 favorite groups or artists:
シェルビー: Big Bang, 2NE1, BTS, U-Kiss, EXO
pkimhi: 2NE1, BIGBANG, CNBLUE, K.Will, Kim Ye Rim
