Unrealistic couple? nonsense!

In the recent interview with Joy News 24, Alex talks about his new album and of course, the high-shot program *lol* “We Got Married” with Shinae. The article is pretty long, but basically there’s nothing we haven’t really heard about it, so I’m not going to go over the whole article. But just the important/interesting stuffs that worth highlighting.
Alex, “Romantic Guy? I can’t do that all year long…”
I like how he frankly opens up and just says whatever is on his mind like nothing else matters. He knew exactly the misconceptions from people who watch him on “We Got Married”, and those ‘antis’ who thought he’s being mushy for the sake of filming and/or popularity. But as we, AlShin’s supporters knew better, Alex is just an ordinary guy who caught in the limelight because he deserves it. He has worked hard to make this album worked (and it darn did), and also with the whole “We Got Married” fiasco, it’s all about the right timing. The articles mentions how Alex who loves music so much, he calmly answered each question thrown at him, including those prejudices and misconceptions surrounding him.
In “We Got Married”, Alex is labeled as the “Romantic Guy”, and though they ‘gave’ him the name, the nickname itself causes him a few headache and troubles too. So it seems like a Catch-22 in some way. When Alex is being extra careful with what he does, some people might find it ‘boring’ or whatnot. But when he’s being sweet and super nice to Shinae, like washing her feet (I can’t believe some people still make a big deal about this), some would say he’s being too nice and unrealistic.
During the interview, there’s this part when Alex said, “I don’t think me and Shinae are unrealistic couple…” made me think to myself. It did impact him that much when people are calling his action on TV as “unrealistic”.
Alex explained, “I am a simple man, though sometimes I can be be romantic. But to be a year-long, full-time romantic guy, I can not always live like that…” (laughs) (Of course, if he could be one, then THAT would be unrealistic, don’t you think? Romance is romance, but it has its ups and downs for sure.)
And here comes the part when you can see his maturity level when it comes to romance:
Alex said, “Instead of trying to get rid of your loneliness by creating/having a girlfriend, you need to learn how to get over your loneliness and be happy with yourself.”
Bravo. He has shown his frankness and sincerity throughout the interview. And at the same time, the reporter of the article closes with this, “None of you can hide his romantic charms”, and “meeting with Alex was a lot of fun.” :)

Thanks for this article and translation.
i like alex, he’s very much more mature than most other guys. and he’s a very frank person too. solbi was right when she said alex makes shinae look good.
Regardless of Alex being romantic or not, he is hot! The whole package - cute face, sexy muscular body, very soothing voice plus loads of talent in cooking, housework, singing, playing instruments - plus a lovable personality, all around nice guy! What more could a girl like Shinae ask for? All she has to do is fall into his arms and fall in love…
About the foot massage for SA - watching Alex being given such a hard time by his fella entertainment colleagues on “Star Golden Bell” (MCs included!) makes me wanna dunk their heads in the buckets instead. LOL! I wonder if SA realises the serious implications of this particular event on Alex’s reputation in Korea. Can’t believe she was still sore with Alex over his ‘grand exit’ (in Epi 8) right up till the filming of Epi 20 itself. Having said that, i’m still coming to grips with Alex’s weird hobby of taking nude photos of himself. (***awkward!***) ke!ke!ke!
Don’t you even feel the least bit curious about Alex’s so-called nude self-portraits that he mentioned before? Am pretty sure these are really good…Alex is into photography, so technique is obviously present, he exudes sexy/flirty aura with his hot bod and naughty smile…too bad we won’t get to see any of those…
I recently saw the last episode 20 and I was stunned.
He was supriced and satisfied in the same time that Shinae finally decided to be more free and get closer.
I was so happy seeing her like that!!
I always admire Alex for his character and talent, I appreciate a lot his patience and tolerance which is very important.
well said man!
Oh, I admired him for this. Back up people. THOSE haters is getting on my nerves already!!
Please do respect him even you dislike of what him do what so ever.
p/s: May I post this on Soompi. Please tell me if you didn’t want to.
Thanks dear!
Thank you for all the great news about Alex and Shin Ae, I fall in love with this couple once I watch WGM. After all everyone of us have feelings, likes and dislikes please give them some space to mature, it’s rather hurting for SA during the parting, but I am sure that she will recover and come be back with us for being closed to Alex again. Nobody would resist to the temptation of being with Alex,he is such a sincere and matured person. It would be great to see them as a couple in reality. All the Best to both of you.
