(📄: ‘Pieces’ is a wonderful present, thank you very much! I’ve been listening to it on repeat nonstop. Especially the collaboration song with Jeonghan, ‘Better Half’ which completely shot through my heart. I have a question. The line ‘はにかむ 横顔みたいよ (to see your shy profile/smile shyly)’—I’d like to know why you had Jeonghan sing this part?

I was really moved because I thought the lyrics were perfect for Jeonghan, who sings in a reserved way and has an adorably cinematic presence. It made me feel like you really saw and understood him. And also, about the phrase ‘hanikamu’—it's English ‘shy smile’ and the Japanese word ‘hanikamu’ sounds like ‘hani come’ which I really love because it felt like ‘hannie is coming’. But since Japanese isn’t Jeonghan’s first language, hearing him sing it so carefully gave it a different, softer nuance. I don’t know if you intended that or not, but if there’s any story behind it, I’d love to hear it!

👤: Thank you very much. Honestly, I didn’t plan it at all, but I really felt that ‘hanikamu’ was a word that suited him. And on top of that, the tone of the song drops quite a bit at that moment, and it’s a really important part. So, I felt that just using the word ‘smile’ wouldn’t be right, and that’s why I chose ‘hanikamu (to be bashful/shy smile)’.

Also, since Jeonghan is often called ‘hannie’ by fans, it seems like CARATs really picked up on that connection. It’s like… hani-kamu, in a way. So many people really picked up on that. Like, ‘Thank you for having Jeonghan use hanikamu, having Hannie-chan say hanikamu.’ I got a lot of those kinds of reactions. But honestly, I didn’t think that deeply about it at the time, so seeing people so happy about it makes me really happy too.

🗣️: Yeah, and the back-and-forth melody in the lyrics too, right?

👤: Ah, really. It’s amazing! And also, Jeonghan just looks so cool in the MV.

🗣️: Beautiful...

👤: So beautiful. Absolutely wonderful. It was a great experience. I’m truly grateful.
