This is quite old, but I don’t know if people have seen it. It was posted up on Top Combine Paradise back in May.
(for those who haven’t joined TCP, go ahead and join ^^)

Zhang Yuan

Q: What’s your main job as Top Combine’s leader?
A: To ensure and protect Top Combine’s togetherness, camaraderie, and the group’s direction of progression.

Q: Do you feel like there’s a lot of pressure on you?
A: Of course there’d be pressure, but I feel that everyone has pressure – it’s just that I have some more things to do.

Q: What do you feel is the hardest thing about being the leader?
A: That I can’t make mistakes – as the leader I have to consider more things, think things through more clearly.

Q: How many girlfriends have you had?
A: 1-2. [One to two? O_o]

Q: Could a fan every become your girlfriend?
A: To be honest, I’m pretty shy about questions about girls, I won’t rule out anything – it’s up to chance.

Q: Which member do you admire the most? Why?
A: Li Mao, because no matter how much he eats at night, he doesn’t gain weight. [XDDDD]

Q: Who loves to be lazy in bed most? [Meaning that he doesn’t like to get up.]
A: Xiao Wu.

Q: What do you think is the most important thing in the development of a group?
A: Camaraderie.

Li Mao

Q: What type of girl do you like?
A: To put it simply: athletic, healthy, sexy. I like girls who are really good dancers, with really good figures.

Q: Could a fan ever be your girlfriend?
A: I haven’t considered that before – it’s up to chance, the heavens.

Q: How many girlfriends have you had before?
A: 4.5. [LOL, what? XD]

Q: Which member of the band do you admire most? Why?
A: Xiao Wu, because he’s the youngest, sings very well, is very likable, and his adorable smile is something that can’t be learned.

Q: If you had the chance to act in “Meteor Shower”, who would you want to be?
A: I would want to be Shan Cai’s [the main girl’s] father or mother [LOL!], because it’d be a challenge.

Liu Zhoucheng

Q: What kind of girl do you like?
A: I like short (LOL!), slightly chubby girls. The type with slightly round faces.

Q: Could a fan ever become your girlfriend?
A: It can’t be ruled out, but I wouldn’t consider fans for being my girlfriend. [Gotta love his blunt honesty there.]

Q: When was the first time you confessed [his feelings] to a girl?
A: Elementary school. It was a girl who I’d had an unrequited crush on since before school that lasted six years. On the sixth year, I confessed, and was rejected. [Aw...]

Q: How many girls have you dated?
A: Before, some, but they’re all a blur – there’s really only been one serious one.

Q: Which member [of TC] do you admire most?
A: Xiao Wu, because I feel that Xiao Wu, coming to China alone to make it, has a lot of courage and will – I really admire that about him.

Xueyang

Q: How many girls have you dated? When did you break up with the most recent one?
A: Ah……. Do I have to answer this? (Laughs) Actually, I feel like I was really foolish in trying to get girlfriends, because I’d liked two girls before, and I’d wanted someone else to confess for me – in the end, both rejected me. (Tears)

Q: Then, if you meet are girl you like now, would you still actively pursue her?
A: Yes, but I’d pick the right time, get to know her very well, then consider everything, then finally actively pursue her.

Q: What kind of girls do you like? Could a fan ever become your girlfriend?
A: I like quiet girls, and prefer those who are a little cute, who can make me laugh like pistachios [“happy nuts”]. As for fans becoming a girlfriend, that’s hard to say, but can’t rule it out.

Q: Heard from your staff that you guys will be going to Korea in May, June?
A: Yes, it’s to prepare for our first album, hoping to make Top Combine’s first album the most high quality, the best.

Q: How long will you be staying in Korea?
A: That’s hard to say – when we leave, when we return – that’s up to the company.

Ensheng

Q: Inviting/Allowing for Jin Ensheng to respond using Korean.
A: Writing in Korean like this is much more familiar to me, thank you.

Q: How long have you been learning Chinese? Have you had problems making progress in China because of language difficulties?
A: Up to now, around six months. I’ve learned very well because my teachers are my older brothers (the other TC members). Haha, it affects things a lot. Every time we go on shows I feel very stifled/bored [I’m not sure which he means]. Someone who looks as stuffy as me must seem very irritating [or irritated]!

Q: How do you usually communicate with Chinese fans?
A: Through messaging websites/services. Through various different sites/services.

Q: Do the other members ever take advantage (somewhere between teasing and abusing) you because you don’t understand Chinese?
A: Haha, at the beginning, they answered for me very impatiently. Nowadays they’re always apt to help me study because of my nonstop bothering. [I think he means that he bothered them right back, ‘cause the others have said that he’s the one who teases others, LOL.]

Q: If you met someone you were interested in on the streets, what would you say?
A: En… Because I’m cowardly, my heart would probably be struggling [something like “skip a beat” in meaning], and she’d leave before I could say anything.

Q: How many girls have you gotten together with? What kind of girl do you like?
A: I’ve dated three girls. The ideal type makes me feel relaxed when we’re together.

Q: Which Chinese city is your favorite? What is your favorite Chinese food?
A: En… I like Harbin, because I like winter’s snow and snowmen! As for food… how do you write this in Korean? In Chinese, it’s pronounced “ma la tang” [I assume he wrote it out in pinyin, haha – it means numbingly hot soup.]

Q: After coming to China, what do you remember most deeply? Why?
A: The first time hugging a fan on the show stage…

Q: What do you do when you’re homesick?
A: I try my hardest not to think about home. Haha, I watch movies or practice singing. Definitely can’t look at family photos. Haha.

Q: If you didn’t debut with the other members in Top Combine, what would you be doing right now?
A: Maybe I’d be studying and practicing [singing], perhaps going back and competing in various contests.

Q: Which member [of TC] do you admire the most? Why?
A: Xueyang, because he can play instruments, amazingly talented.

Q: What do you want to say most to the other members?
A: Gege, I believe [your] personal happiness is the most important thing, hoping that when you work, when you meet friends – that in whatever you do you’ll be happy.

Q: Finally, what would you like to say to fans?
A: To all fans, I will become a hard-working Xiao Wu, please continue to watch me – goodbye, wishing everyone eternal happiness.

Zhang Yuan: My secret is, I can’t sing, hahaha

Everyone: That doesn’t count! THat’s not a secret!

Reporter: Will anyone tell their secrets to online friends?
Li Mao: You can’t tell online friends, you don’t know who they are. For a while, I wanted to find a stranger to tell them all my secrets, but they won’t know me, but I didn’t find one.
Zhang Yuan: I found a psychiatrist during college testing.
Everyone: No, he goes to find the fried chicken.

Reporter: Wasn’t he on a diet?
Xueyang: Right, in Korea, whenever he’s too hungry, he would go find fried chicken. Then we’ll look for him, and he’ll be holding a piece of chicken and telling us,” they all say I’m fat, but I’m really not fat.”

[When I was just going to ask them more about secrets, Xiaomei found my recorder. After careful examination, he exclaimed, "Oh, you're recording us! I thought this waqs a lighter..."
His brothers were suddenly shocked, too. "Ah! You're recording us?" "Told you guys not to say bad things" "Oh, oh, we have to be careful about what we say."]

Reporter: How would you take care of your secret?
Xueyang: I would tell my mom.
Xiaomei: I would eat digestive pills to digest them. That’s not funny, is it? Haha
Zhang Yuan: I would right it down. (everyone: Then it won’t be a secret anymore) No, only I can see it.
Li Mao: If I can’t hold it anymore, I’ll go to some field and yell.
Xueyang: Or he would hid in a blanket and cry.
Li Mao: I did before, that’s really a secret…
Xiqowu: Sometimes…good…gege’s(gege=older brother)
Li Mao: If he has secrets, he can say it out loud at home because it’s all in Korean and we won’t understand anyways.
Xiaowu: My secret, I have some, let me think. Think…what to do, what to do….Ah! When I have no other ways, gege…ah…wait, wait…let me think a bit. (and then he said a bunch of things in Korean that the reporter doesn’t understand)
Xueyang: He wants to tell us, but we don’t understand, so he gives up.

Reporter: Do you dare to tell a secret?
Xiaomei: I dare to. I don’t look good without bangs.
Li Mao: I dare to tell my secret. I have 24 RMB left on my card.
Xueyang: My mom forced me to take up the violin.
Zhang Yuan: My secret is, I can’t sing, hahaha
Li Mao: Your secret is that you secretly ate a mooncake yesterday.
Zhang Yuan: I actually ate two duck necks yesterday. Two! Two!
Everyone: Wow! This really is a secret.

Feb 15th afternoon, popular group Top Combine joined Hunan TV’s program “Behind the story.” Although Jin Ensheng (Xiaowu) was injured, he was unaffected by the pains. During the filming process, Xiaowu’s straightforward, cute and humorour personality made the entire audience happy.

Xiaowu chosen to join Top Combine because he looks Chinese
When host He Jiong asked why Xiaowu was chosen to join Top Combine as its only Korean, Xiaowu’s surprising made everyone laugh nonstop.
Xiaowu said it was because he looks Chinese. He further added that because he looks Chinese, when he speaks Korean to other people, they would compliment on how well his Korean is.

Xiaowu works hard day and night, practicing until he cries
Because Xiaowu joined training later than the other four members of Top Combine, to make sure he is not behind, Xiaowu not only works hard in the day, but also during the night.

Zhang Yuan says that once, he woke up in the middle of the night and saw Xiaowu practicing outside. When everyone was having vocal lessons the next day, Xiaowu’s voice was already hoarse. Xiaowu also says that he once practiced dancing until he cried.

Xiaowu’s first impressions of the four other members
When host He Jiong asked about Xiaowu’s impressions to the four other members, Xiaowu’s answers were very frank and funny. He said that the first time he say Zhang Yuan, he thought he was fat and was shocked that such “fat person” can dance so well. His first impression of Li Mao was that he looked like an uncle. Xiaowu explained that it was because at the time, Li Mao was very wornout and had huge black circles around his eyes. Xiaowu then said that the first time he saw Liu Zhoucheng, he mistook him for a girl due to his long, red hair. When the mentioned Ma Xueyang, Xiaowu said that his first thought of Ma Xueyang was of how hot he was.

Did you know that….
Zhang Yuan also composed many songs?
Ma Xueyang’s favorite music style is rock?
Jin Ensheng used to cry everyday when he first joined the group in China?
Li Mao wrote a script for the Cotton Candy mv but was rejected?
Liu Zhoucheng is planning to write lyrics for their songs?
They live in a “house” with three bedrooms? Li Mao and Ma Xueyang lives in the master bedroom. Liu Zhoucheng and Zhang Yuan used to each occupy their own smaller bedroom, but after Jin Ensheng came, Liu Zhoucheng gave his room to Jin Ensheng and moved to their dance-studio sized living room.
The rest of the group first heard Cotton Candy in Ma Xueyang and Zhang Yuan’s room (with lights off and lit by candles)?
Bonus: lots of Maomei(Li Mao+Liu Zhoucheng couple) moments
