Alex, “Live to love and to date”
Alex In the recent interview with Marie Claire titled, “Love, live to love”, what Alex said attracted attention. This Romantic Guy, Alex, from MBC Sunday night, “We Got Married”, seems not to make a big deal out of those articles concerning him full with the media’s excessive gossip about “intimacy” issues.
“Love is important in dating,” Alex said, “I live to love and to date,” as he told this, his words attracted media’s attention. “How could I live in fear of expressing my thoughts? Wouldn’t it actually be like what fake is?” He added, “My first solo album, My Vintage Romance also highlights who Alex is.”
“But when I had to leave, there was a lot of controversy about it. Instead of choosing the concept of the album with what I think of love and the memories of the past love, that it is the program’s popularity that I’m trying to take (advantage of),” he said. But the fact is that because of public’s attention, and the popularity of the program, there was only enough time to produce an album.
In addition to that, Alex, who actually been working on the concept of his album since last year, said that the recording has all been completed, before he left the program.
(So it wasn’t because he had to use his popularity in WGM to promote his album, but he really wanted to take some time off to really prepare for the release date. Being Alex, he wanted to make sure he did everything right, which is of course, understandable. This album is like his first baby; it’s his first solo album after debuted as an artist.)
He added, “At first I wanted to explain, but if I say anything, would it stop people’s misconception about the album? I don’t think so.” (On TV, in terms of being a man, Alex is potrayed as this man with many aspects to consider of, as if when a person watches the program, it’ll bring them the impact. But it backfires and as we know, he often gets the blame for it.)
As people tend to look as him from the one angle only. He said, “I, too, am still a human who make mistakes. From watching the broadcast, there then comes some judgments and complaints from people… saying that they feel hopeless (after watching the program).
But, they shouldn’t read me the wrong way.”Are all these wounds still in the process of healing? Alex responded, “Of course I get hurt. But it’s not as if worrying about it will solve anything.” he ended with a positive attitude.
Thanks for the info. Alex is cool guy and very diplomatic in giving out replies. Alex, fighting!! :D

It’s sad how his detractors have persisted in panning him over everything he does or does not do on WGM. When he left, they panned him for being irresponsible and selfish. When he came back, they panned him for using the show to promote his album. Aish!
