When discussing the photo during an Elle Korea interview, the idol gave a bit of background for the moment and why he’d had second thoughts about it afterward.

I drank beer and ate delicious food with Seungkwan, and I played volleyball with strangers. I think I posted this picture because I was so happy.

Looking back on it, Mingyu shared that he might’ve kept the photo to himself. He admitted, “I think I’ll think [it] through if I upload it again.” Mingyu had an understandable reason why.

Knowing his members might tease him, Mingyu explained why it was only a rare moment to show how much fun he’d been having abroad.

If I say, ‘I don’t like to show too much of my skin,’ my team members will tease me a lot, right?

I don’t like to show my skin intentionally. But, I think I wanted to say that I’m fully enjoying this.
