I have visited Japan several times, but the most impressive was Hokkaido. The snow we saw at the Sapporo Snow Festival was so pretty. And Japanese food is delicious! I like a bowl of rice served with eel and katsu-dong. I’m now studying Japanese watching Japanese animation or listening to J-pop. I look forward to meeting Japanese fans!

Taemin’s “Onaka peko peko” is so cute. Minho’s answer confirms Taemin is the one who makes him laugh so much I’m so glad to learn Onew had a trip with his friends. He’s really taking a break to re-energize himself!
