This press conference shows their views on music and their lifestyle, as well as Malaysia. Check out questions asked below (translated from Korean during the press conference).
Q: Upon discovering reggae, how did it influence your lifestyle and music?
Haha : As you all know, Skull is like the leading industry person for reggae in Korea, the first impression of him is that he is really crazy and Skull from head to toe, everything about him is reggae. I thought he must be so tired everyday. The moment I fell in love with reggae, I started wearing reggae underwear as well. My life now is just entirely reggae.Skull : Everybody think Haha is just an entertainer but his love for reggae his big. Of course I love reggae and collect some reggae items but Haha has about 10 times more reggae items than me. It's really crazy in a good way.
Q: How did you start liking reggae?
Haha : At first, I wasn't that into reggae music but I love reggae type hairstyle and fashion sense. I started then became more interested into reggae music, back then there wasn't many that were into reggae music and then I met Skull and he became an inspirational of reggae to me.
Q : Will there be any new artist or rookie you would want to do a collaboration in the near future?
Haha : Reggae is not a very popular genre in Korea, when me and Skull started as a duo reggae, many people doubted us such as "can they last in this industry?". We kept pushing and try really hard till many people too want to collaboration with us. This coming Christmas we'll be having a collab concert with the group Leessang. Also, next year (2014) there will be more collabs with other artists.
Skull : Looking at Haha, he is very hardworking but does take care of people around him so I really respect that and I'm so proud of it because he's doing his show program very good and also he also work very hard with music.

Skull : When Haha drinks, he really inspires me. Our music is always honest and we're really proud of it. We always tell you our story not others.
Q: Now Haha have a new born child, will he be having a second child?
Haha : I'm very grateful for having a first child, his name is Dream and I would like to have a second one. But I would like to give as much love as possible to the my kid first then maybe I'll have another child maybe in the next two years.
Skull : Whenever he (Haha) shows me his son's picture, and I envy him but I go to the club and I can forget everything. Maybe I'll go club again, just kidding, maybe tomorrow.
Q : When will Skull parcipitate in Running Man?
Haha : He was on running man before but it was for a short time but after his new album released, he might be on running man again. Also, his hair is so uncomfortable to run with, I don't think it will be the right time.
