"For two minutes I tried so many times but it kept failing! It would go 3, 2, 1, but it wouldn't count down!"
@loonatheworld I wondered if it was slow to count. I thought I'd get in trouble from the fanmanger or something. So I restarted vlive real quick. Maybe it's because it's my first time doing this.
I've been waiting since 6:40 for this. How's the audio? Is it too quiet? I'll raise the volume.
@loonatheworld She remembers greets orbits:
I'm Yves, I'm 25, and I'm in quarantine. So I'm here on a voice-only vlive today. What are you doing right now Orbits?
(She lowers the music volume)
Oh you're having chuucken maru? I have to try that soon.
@loonatheworld I'm doing so well. Orbits might've worried so I worried about that in turn but I'm eating so so well, and as I sent to Hyunjin, I've been sleeping so much. It's a big issue, me doing so well. I had tteokbokki for dinner.
@loonatheworld Like Jiwoo I prepared a playlist like.. 3 days in advance! For pop songs, the lyrics have more... Variety than Korean songs, so baby Orbits might be surprised by that, so I got rid of those. Some songs might put Orbits to sleep, so I got rid of those...
@loonatheworld So I worried about my playlist like that til late!
BGM: Jake Miller - 15 minutes
@loonatheworld She's been studying a little for songwriting.
For lyrics, she writes things she thinks of in a notepad. Even when just talking with the members and she thinks strongly of something like "I'm hungry" she writes that down.
@loonatheworld No, there's still so much that I don't know. I have much to learn. Fortunately there's a lot of people around us that are eager to help. So I've been asking and getting lots of help.
Lately I sleep when the sun rises. So I get up at like 2PM. Daebak right?
@loonatheworld Q: any dramas/movies you've watched lately?
Lately... I don't remember. It's been a while since I've read books, but while in quarantine, I took a book that a fan gave me. I started reading that. yes24.com/Product/Goods/…
@loonatheworld Games I like? I used to play games a lot when I was a kid when I was young, my parents would even tell me to stop. But nowadays not so much.
@loonatheworld I've only listened to this song, so I'll show it to you properly later after I've properly covered it.
She sings her KOMS song (fan request)
@loonatheworld I thought I wouldn't get nervous since it's voice-only. But seeing that chat coming up, I'm so nervous.
Yves also likes Ku One Chan ft. Baek Yerin - How did you
@loonatheworld Oh this is on my playlist too, (seeing fanrequests), I guess Orbits and I match.
day6 - hurt road
@loonatheworld How I got into day6, my unnie might be listening... She might ask why I brought it up when she finds out I told you. But she's an official myday. Sorry unnie! But those who know, know, if you're on her instagram. Sorry!
@loonatheworld So when I'm on break and go home, unnie plays music. It's never loona, it's always day6. So I listened to it constantly like brainwashing. I used to be like "why do you keep playing this!" But thanks to her I got to find their great songs.
@loonatheworld Speaking of, let's play our unnie's song! Funny. She put out a song, everyone. (clap) She doesn't have a company, she made the song herself and did all that work. She worked hard, so I hope you tune in.
@loonatheworld She's working hard. She's working on another song, so please look forward to that!
@loonatheworld Her stage name's Min!n. I actually made that name for her.
@loonatheworld When we were young we fought so much. But your parents and grandparents are like that. When you grow up, it'll just be the two of you! When we all die, it'll just be you two! Why are you fighting!
But after growing up, we really did get close. If you have siblings, you get it.
@loonatheworld But living separately and meeting back up, you can't help but have conflict. Your living patterns change. But it's not like breaking doors or walls, it's just light bantering. Then we're like wow we haven't argued in a while.
Like, "I was bored, it was nice doing that again."
@loonatheworld I think I wrote that in a fansign post-it once. We used to kick, knee-kick, all that... When I was young I think I was taller, even. So yeah I hit the wall once. And it happened to be an empty spot on the wall, and suddenly the wall broke through and we suddenly stopped.
@loonatheworld We had to fix that spot before mom got back. Tried to put stickers over it and all..
@loonatheworld Now, should I get the next song? Someone mentioned that I might play Seori. That's right, I like Seori a lot.
Seori - Hairdryer
@loonatheworld (In chat, Jinsoul's been requesting Paul Kim's Hangover for the past idk-minutes at this point)
@loonatheworld How was 🚨Bbibboz🚨 made?
Yves: Hyeju, how was it made..? I think, it was just like bbobbiz/ppoppiz, right (puppies; Heejin+Chuu)? But we just flipped it. Like bbibbo, sirens🚨 going off. Sexy, cool, hot bbibboz, just for fun. Hyeju if you remember, leave a comment.
@loonatheworld Hyeju in chat just says they were next to ppo-ppiz and she doesn't remember that well, they were just cracking jokes
@loonatheworld Q: Do you remember the first time meeting Lip?
Yves: I do. I suddenly passed the audition, and you know the office, I went there. And in a corner there were two celeb-haired people signing things. I was like wow I'm meeting a celeb.
@loonatheworld Then it was the two LOONA members who I had only seen on posters. I was like I had to tell my friends later. Later, I had to do the jacket shoot. OEC+Vivi had a fansign that day and came to my shoot all made up.
@loonatheworld But they were all shorter than I thought, but their proportions were so good. I thought to myself that wow, so these kinds of people end up being idols/celebs...
I realized that the earlier members were trainees for a lot longer than me, so they had their own issues, but I very luckily got to debut immediately without being a trainee. Of course even from Busan to Seoul I trained hard (before BBC). But I kept having that inner struggle,
and I couldn't approach the members that much being shy. Jungeun and Haseul approached me first, and they helped me make the personality I have now. Jungeun left letters from her diary for me, and she helped a lot.
Jungeun seems irritable and always nagging, on the outside but I know how she's like inside.
Until Butterfly I thought to myself "could I do this, could I do that?" towards the members. But the members took care of me and most of that's has gone away now.
Yves finally sees Jinsoul's song request for Paul Kim's Hangover
Yves says it's been so long since she's sung it
(sings it a bit)
Yves: I don't know it that well!
I used to practice this a lot. I wanted to sing it for KOMS, but I just left it.
Aw I want to do this for like 2 hours... It's already been an hour.
She reads fan request DO - That's OK
which she likes, but she's only listened to it, never sung along with it. So she'll try practicing that later.
How has she decorated her vocal room?
For her birthday, lots of Orbits sent LPs. She thought she'd get encouraged by them by having them in the room, with an acrylic LP display. And a chess-shaped rug. It's a total garbage pile right now, but full of fan gifts.
I'll organize it all later after we get back for/after promotions.
She says just the fan-gifts are well-kept in that room
Lip and Jinsoul impersonators in chat (this is not the real Lip, not the real Jinsoul)
Yves is gonna show us a track she made
She plays 3 seconds
"okay 'til there! done!"
How was it? too short, right?
Because if I show all of it, it loses that something... But you heard it, right?
5 more seconds? OK 5 more seconds. Got it. (she plays the track for a little longer)
I showed you so much.
I wanted to show the tones of all the members. So I wanted them to show off with this track in the back. If that song ends up being on an album, note their singing. The members are really good at singing you know...
Being in the dorm all together, sometimes Yves thought "wow there's so many of us" and while that can be nice, when she wants to be alone it's not. But with quarantine she realizes the importance of the members, and would like to be back
Back to her playlist, it's a song that her uncle really likes to sing in noraebangs. It's been a while since it came out (she says her uncle's really good at singing):
Jannabi - for lovers who hesitate
Some in chat are surprised by the pick
She says her uncle has a wide spectrum of music taste, going as far as Amy Winehouse
(seeing Jannabi playing)
Go Won in chat: I'm a nabi too
(Nabi = butterfly)
She says she should change her glasses, since she's using the same ones from high school, so it's a bit beat up. Saying how her vision seems to be getting worse
BGM: Cloud - As Usual as Today
Yves is most scared of going to the dentist and optometrist
(reading chat)
Driving..? When I get the chance?
Lip in chat: Hasooyoung unnie's low notes are insane;
How's Haneul lately? (Yves' dog)
Haneul? Haneulie? Haneul's alright. I miss Haneulie too.
I'm healthy everyone. Agh, can someone report Kim Jungeun?? The frivolous flattery...
BGM: Amy Winehouse - Best Friend
Yves wrote a short track during quarantine
The song's saved as "quarantine song"
Chat: "Unnie you're not disconnecting, we need baby pics"
Yves: So funny! Yeah, why's it not disconnecting today?
Song request in chat: Baekhyun - Bambi
That's good! Should we listen to it! When it came out I was shocked, the guitar at the start's great.
What keyboard is it? It's just the laptop keyboard.
I went to English classes when I was a kid. We had to type all in English. So at the time my English speed is like 300 (T/N: Korean typing tests measure in cpm not wpm). It's probably like 200something now.
(Reading chat) Do you like Frank Ocean? I do.
Pink and White? I like that.
Next, I like this one too, on my playlist
BTS - Euphoria
Q: 5 Chuu vs 1 baby chuu?
Yves: 1 baby chuu
What flowers do you like? I like roses.
Kim Lip in chat earlier: Orbits... are you gonna report jungeunie..?🥲🥲🥲
With Euphoria, I think I heard it a lot while we were moving around during activity schedules.
5 go wons vs 5 year old go won
Yves: 5 go wons, then if I'm bored I can take one to play with, and tease~
Next song: Yves really likes the piano in this too:
Kiana Ledé - Attention.
Movie recs from Yves?
Yves: I haven't seen movies lately. Sorry
Go Won in chat: to tease....?!?!
Yves says Chaeyeon will be on Street Woman Fighter and to cheer for her, she's been working hard for it
Thing you've been interested in lately?
Yves: Orbits
Ah, since it's getting time to wrap up I'm getting nervous. How should I wrap this up? An exciting song... But I don't have any exciting songs prepared...
SOLE - haPPiness
Yves: Her voice is a treasure.
Q: Any songs that you listen to in secret?
I don't listen to songs in secret. I play on speakers.
Q: Did you see the rainbow?
Yes, I did. Before this, the members were talking about the rainbow outside in the group chat.
And I opened the window and it was right there.
(reading chat) Yeah, why would you listen to songs in secret?
Q: Did you see/hear the thunder too?
Yeah, it was scary. Since you don't know when the thunder will come after the rumble...
5y/o Hyeju vs Hyeju going thru puberty:
Yves: ah... 5 year old hyeju
"omg!" I didn't turn this off on purpose. I really didn't, really. So I picked a picture in a rush. I have to wrap up soon, I think.
But singing live is good too, but I think it would be good to properly record vocals for things like this and we're hearing that too, so please wait for that a little bit. The members are talking and getting prepared, so try looking forward to it.
I didn't think I'd get nervous since it's voice-only but I was.
Chat's saying "no ending phrases allowed" but I have to end it~ I think it got to be a little bit of a mess at the end but please understand, and- I wonder if we'll do more of these, don't you think we will?
I hope that only Orbits are happy - things are getting better, we're cheering for each other, thank you, love you always, bye! Bye for real? Wait should I leave a little later?
No I gotta go. Bye~ Love you~
See you soon, stay healthy,
Haseul in chat: Haseulie too
(that was her responding to hoping that "only" orbits be happy)
(she said the members are talking with bbc about whether they can upload proper covers to the official channel)
@loonatheworld With the thumbnail, I saw the other members use baby photos. So I also joined in on this trend.
@loonatheworld So I used this baby picture. The person who made this thumbnail wasss... Ha Sooyoung unnie!
I asked her "could you make a thumbnail for me just once? And she made it."
What's the sound still? I turned off the A/C already. Okay then I'll move. Why's it like that?
@loonatheworld You were waiting right? You can hear me right? Emotional tears... You're all coming in right? Sorry for being late!
Actually I was waiting this time with the title and image set, and waiting on vlive. And at :59... I pressed start, but it didn't work!
@loonatheworld So I was wondering why it didn't work, tried logging out, logging in, changed devices.. It didn't work! But the staff helped me figure out how to turn it on. What a relief.
@loonatheworld I feel nervous, since it's like my first time doing a vlive alone for the first time. What do you thinka about the thumbnail? It was my first time with Photoshop... I kept looking up on Naver how to do things while making it.
@loonatheworld I thought it would be 4:3 but the image ended up being wider than that. So that's unfortunate.
On tuning in everyday: Jinsoul thought other members would feel bad if she only tuned into a few members so she had to tune into everyone's.
@loonatheworld She's currently lightly singing Fairy Tale (acoustic instrumental)
Yes, everyone, are you coming in? Today, yes, I'm the DJ for today, Hyunjin. Nice to meet you!
@loonatheworld I intentionally had a soft song on earlier. I debated a while on the title. I looked out the window and the sky as night was falling was so pretty! That's how I set the title. Have you been doing well?
