"It's the general manager's birthday party without the general manager~"
General Manager Ha is here
Doing a skit where they pretend to employees under her management (trying to get on her good side but it's not working)
Yves just put Choerry on time out outside for a minute
Manager Yves paying the interns (as she calls the others here)
Choerry (offscreen): Can I really not come back onscreen..? [...] Please open the door...
(Choerry sits)
Yves: did I tell you to sit?
the vlive translator just translated 꼰대/kkondae to "boomer"
my sides
The papers that Yves gave to the other employees:
Go Won and Vivi get the title of "employee"
Olivia Hye is daeri ("asst. manager")
Choerry is "team lead"
They're still doing the employee concept
and Go Won is the 35-year old maknae employee
Go Won's presentation she accidentally uses the ultra-polite term for "birthday" for Yves (typically reserved for the elderly)
Yves: ?
Olivia Hye: I don't think we can move past this without an apology--
*Go Won pleads her apology*
Go Won's workplace presentation for plans for Yves' birthday party
conclusion: idk we don't have that much prepared
Vivi's presentation: she also uses the ultra-respectful term for birthday for Yves to Yves' dismay
Vivi tries to spin this in a way that implies respect for Yves
Olivia Hye giggling
Yves: why are you laughing?
Olivia Hye: such kind words...
Now discussing the financials presented in the file, the budget is 10 cents, Vivi now trying to explain why the "visual" aspect for this proj costs 10 cents (since it's already complete, basically)
Yves: if it's already done why do you need 10 cents in the first place?
Vivi's answer is something to do with fees
Olivia Hye has the biggest binder
(but it's empty)
Olivia Hye: It's okay, that's because I memorized everything--
Plans: Acrostic poem and the "of course" game
Yves wants a congratulations ceremony performance type thing
Olivia hye hands it off to the employees (Go Won and Vivi)
Yves promotes Olivia Hye for the great idea, promotes her to team lead (...switching Choerry's and Hye's cards)
Now Choerry's presentation is basically the others in summary: snack party (Go Won's presentation), the games that Olivia Hye mentioned, the already-completed visual aspect + 100won part that Vivi mentioned
Choerry: we've prepared these flowers, what do you think about that? We can't block her face though so we'll put it back to the side.
Yves approves
Go Won / Hye off-handedly mention that the flowers not being roses, it would be even better if they were roses...
Go Won mentions Yves being from Busan but the skit-lore they just set up says that Vivi is from near Busan, not Yves
Luckily for Go Won the cake arrives before Yves can react much
Olivia Hye trying very hard to get on Yves' good side saying the flower the fanmanagers gave Yves was old/dead, might as well simply show your face to the others, which is prettier than the flower
(While blowing out the cake, Yves wishes for a music show win next cb)
Reading messages, Yves thinks this message is from Jinsoul based on her handwriting. After starting to read it they dismiss it as Jinsoul teasing Yves (it started off like "You know, rain reminds me of...")
*Yves sits*
Others: [...]
Olivia Hye: ... MAY WE SIT?
Yves lets everyone sit
Manager Yves is now tired of the maintaining the skit and ends the scene
They open another cake
Yves:
Yves: Go Won's more of a tsundere than you'd expect so I didn't think she'd do anything for me. But at the dorm earlier she was like happy birthday~ with a cake, and I was touched.
Hye: did you cry?
Yves: No, I couldn't then.
Go Won: I did want to see your tears, but alas...
they're just eating now and reading chat
Yves reading chat:
(Context: They mentioned Orbits as shareholders in their company earlier)
Yves reads an orbit's msg in chat: Hey, as a shareholder... When are you coming back?
[this makes them laugh]
Go Won's never tried the flavor of the cake she got Yves here (it's Oreo-flavored though, so Vivi thinks it should be fine)
Olivia Hye is generous with her portions
Orbits asking for a bite in chat
"Here you go~"
Yves: Huh, why aren't they having any?
Other members: Mmm they must be feeling full.
One of Go Won's wishes is to have a birthday celebration during scheduled activities
Yves tried to temper her expectations for the others to surprise her on bday (because they're busy preparing, lessons, etc), so she was moved when they brought out cake and celebrated for her.
Vivi tells her to look forward to her gift - it's on its way via delivery
The other say that Yves got lunch for everyone today, ("steak, pasta, pizza...")
Yves: "But many of the members are all dieting so.."
Yves: ... So the next birthday is Jinsoul's right?
Choerry:
Did Yves have miyeokguk (seaweed soup) for her bday? Her mom got her some, plus some good food, says the other members.
Yves didn't have any yet though. She'll have it as a late night snack. Her sleep schedule's still messed up so she has lunch at dinnertime etc it's all shifted
Yves contact info:
Go Won: Stylish chestnut (멋쟁이 밤토리)
Son Hyeja
Kim Choerry
Vivi: Curry-ham (Vivi once mentioned when she was a kid, a friend gave her that playful nickname - maybe since it sounds kinda similar to Kahei)
And ham is a way to say haeng/hyung = big bro
Vivi asks why Yves adds ham/haeng to her nicknames, Yves says it's because Vivi just feels like a boss, a quiet boss that doesn't have to say much
Some other Yves contacts:
Kim Aeong
Heejin: Kkilppabase (born from their "gimme gimme" trot cover, since she used her chest voice so well. The other members loved that part)
Jinsoul: Souljin-ie
Yeojin: Im Mature
Lip: Jungeun princess
Haseul: Jo Haeseul
Hye's contacts are just by names
Go Won's contacts are just by casual names
Choerry's is just the members phrased more cutely
Vivi's contacts look like:
Go Won: Go Won princess
Lippu
Aeong
Yeojinie20
Jjae Yerim
Joseulseul
Jinsoulie
chuuchuu
Ha Yves
Hyejjyu
Heekkiman
They wonder when they'll get to see Orbits face to face again, face to face fansigns, etc.
While reading chat, Yves suddenly suspects that some of her friends are watching on vlive
Any hobbies lately?
Hye: None
Them: Practice
Choerry: decorating our practice rooms!
Choerry says Hye's room is really dark and hip. With clothes hanging on the wall. Everything's black, even the lamp
Hye wanted it to be allll black but unfortunately the walls are wooden.
Vivi hasn't decorated her practice room yet. Once her desk gets there she'll do everything at once.
Yves has an LP player and a rug in her practice room(?)
... Hye and Choerry find that interesting, say they'll have to visit her room sometime
Q: Do you like the new building?
Yves: It's great.
Hye: It's not new though really, I mean we were there before so...
Q: Is there a ghost in this practice room?
Choerry and Yves remember that they had ghosts here before in pre-debut days
Songs you like recently:
Choerry: Me? new.
Yves: Really? Sing a bit of it please
(Choerry sings a bit of it)
Yves: to be honest since we're practicing so much...
Hye: after practicing I just want to rest my ears!
Rather, Go Won's been listening to more meditative music
Some Yves song recs to follow:
Yves:
Yves:
Yves:
Yves talks about the drama "Mouse" being over, Choerry recommends "Doom at Your Service"
It's about time to wrap up
An acrostic poem:
Go Won:
I want to tell Orbits so many things~
So many things~ I want to meet Orbits, perform, do fansigns, meet... All that
Let's be together forever~ bye~
Hye's acrostic poem:
Hye: I told you to stop
Hye: Stop shining on your own, amidst so many people
(Choerry: did you prepare this in advance??)
Hye: I love the head director only, forever!!
Yves: ("wait, isn't this too negative? Gimme a sec--")
I want to tell you lots of things
I've debated to myself about it a ton
But I don't think I'll ever be able to tell you
Yves take 2: (iirc)
Everyday,
without rest,
always thinking about Orbits
Vivi:
Head Director Ha~
because of so many celebrations for your birthday...
it's an honor...!
Choerry:
Ha... Life's such a pain
Is it because Sooyoung's not here?
Here she is~~~~
Yves says they're working hard on the comeback and that we'll be able to see them a lot soon enough.
She thanks everyone for the fan cafe events. She'd like to go but wasn't able to, since they have to be careful these days (covid). Though she wishes she could go 100 times
Official Law of the Jungle clips including #LOONA#이달의소녀 Chuu:
Chuu says she's never really liked raw fish, but will try it
Also helps prepare/descale the fish
She tries it and finds that she actually loves it
Chuu and squad leader Byungman catching fish
Ji Sangryeol takes a while to catch his first fish with his real fishing rod while Chuu/Byungman were catching a bunch with their bamboo rods
Chuu (interview): as they say, "when in Rome..." So when in Jeju... Use the bamboo fishing rods!
It's been a while since she's DJed, but she wants to tell Orbits lots of things since it's been a while. She mentions the cherry blossoms that she saw with Hyeju (+ the cherry blossom photos she uploaded), and asks Orbits what they've been up to first though.
She's eating a variety of things, taking lessons, thinking of Orbits, posting pics.
In a prerecording interview #LOONA Chuu said that unlike her cute delicate image, "I don't want to lean on others" and "since I have the oldest-daughter vibe, if I do something, I really do it," showing her ambition. She said she wanted to start a fire and build shelter the most.
In line with what she said, Chuu started by showing a surprising new side of herself. Collecting firewood with Kim Byungman, she carried back heavy logs and successfully started a fire on her first try, earning the nicknames "Chuu the ssireum champion (천하장사)" and "Fire Chuu".
