In a separate interview, he opened up about how he catalogs his ideas. “I write down a lot of them as memos on my phone, and I always go back to them to see if they match what we’re going through as a group. That’s how I write my lyrics,” he explains. “Sometimes I’ll think of it as writing a script to really get into that persona.”
In addition to his songwriting, Mingi is also a burgeoning producer. He once gave fans a quick peek at his creative process and the studio where he works.
