What is the secret behind boy group god maintaining their team for such a long time, alongside the epithet "national group"? Son Ho-young cited the members' modest personalities and their steadfast love for fans.

Regarding the realistic reason why god has been able to last so long, he stated, "The members are all quite simple. They are people who are timid and aware of fear," adding, "Therefore, they do not go too far astray, and there is consideration for one another."

He continued, "Above all, we hold a very deep sense of gratitude toward our fans. Because of that, the group endures. If we only thought about ourselves, it might not have lasted, but when we say 'we have fans,' everyone agrees. As a result, it seems like everyone naturally gathers as if it were the most natural thing in the world," revealing deep affection.

It is unlikely that there have been no conflicts or disagreements over more than 27 years. When asked about how they resolve conflicts, Son Ho-young smiled and said, "We resolve them just like a real family fight." He added, "We really get upset. But later, it gets resolved by something small. If even one person feels sorry, we cry. It is a group with that kind of resolution," boasting of their close bond, "It is very human-like. Before things are resolved, we are extremely angry, but when we actually face each other and muster the courage to get past that stage, tears come."

Even within this strong bond, god's "idol specialist" on the concert stage remains Son Ho-young's role. On this matter, Son Ho-young said, "I think the members still entrust a lot of their dreams to me. I feel like I know why, but I don't really understand it well."

Son Ho-young noted, "The fact that I can celebrate my 20th solo anniversary is because my fans are truly an indispensable and greatest strength for me," adding, "While god is incredibly grateful that the public seeks us out and keeps us in their hearts, in my case, my fans protect me solidly by more than 90%." He explained further, "Therefore, the coquettishness that comes out of me without me realizing it is a strength, and I think the members say 'Son Ho-young can do it.'"

Even the members, who jokingly half-seriously tell Son Ho-young, the only "active idol" designated within the team, to "not get married." Son Ho-young quipped, "That's right. It is truly a nonsensical story," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

He also added his stage philosophy befitting the eternal "angel of smiles." He said, "When I go on stage, I still think I am 20 years old. Honestly, it is too much fun and enjoyable," adding, "I want to joke around so much. I want to feel that joy together with my fans," revealing his undimmed passion for fans.
