[Thread for the meantime]
At first, Kim Eana (Kim) is surprised by Chuu's huge smile
Chuu asks Kim if she's eaten (they say what they had) - and they have rice cakes for the Chuseok special

Kim says for the special they have this fantasy lunar world for their set today
Chuu says it's really pretty
Kim: I found a place that suited you (Chuu: thank you)

Kim: Do you know that you move like cherry blossoms falling?? Fascinating
Just seeing you, you're like dandelion seeds
Chuu's very excited about how "the best lyricist is expressing me..." ("...Good thing I debuted...")

Kim says she was shocked when she found that Chuu made the biting heart, "feels like the person who came up with electricity is in front of me"
(talking about how Chuu came up with it)
Kim says she heard her parents were full of loving expressions too

Chuu says her dad has tons of aegyo in particular
Talks about how she moved away from her parents for high school
They talk about her at school and how she became an idol - Chuu initially wanted to be a vocalist but after trying dancing on stage she felt the appeal of that

... And started auditioning later on.
Kim asks if Chuu thinks she's an idol- type of person. Kim thinks Chuu is, and Chuu says yes she's happy to meet new people and talk and be on shows, learning lots other than singing/dancing.

Chuu shares a concern to Kim Eana: she doesn't have sunbaenims at her company to lean on for questions, like when going through things for the first time. She does have people outside the company, but they're busy of course, hard to meet often

Kim: so you only want to talk about good things when you meet them...
Chuu: yes heheh
Kim: I'm not like Chuu but if you're bright, people put down their barriers, right? Though there could be people who judge people too soon. How is it?

Chuu says when she was younger she'd feel hurt by people judging her or saying things, but now she understands those people too, and thinks it's just because they're different from her
Kim: How'd they hurt you??? Like saying "why are you so upbeat?!!" ?

Kim: Or "Why are you so lovely??" heavens.
Chuu: It'd be like.. Suspicions? About my real nature?
Questions about me laughing, or fascination about my hyperactivity, I think they were curious about that.
Kim: You downplayed it as "curious"

Kim: Even me, until I was 30, I saw people like the moon, so people would always have another side to them like the back of the moon, is what I thought.
But I realized later, sometimes people are really as they appear!! They're out there

Chuu types but doesn't send a message: "I'm still not exactly sure about thoughts or feelings towards me"

Chuu: of course I also have a bright and not bright side, but if I start slowly showing people, whether they like that or not, it's ok since I'm dull to that now, and strong

Kim: no that's sad, being dull to it means something's eroded ㅠㅠㅠ
Chuu: honestly I'm busy, packed with happy times, so to not get hurt by those things, lately I'm distancing myself from that a little
Kim: you're doing verrrry well..

Chuu: I originally wanted to be loved by everyone and only have good relations, but I think that's difficult
Kim: then "you" would disappear!
Chuu: Right!

Kim: funny thing about people
with people who show negativity a lot, they don't imagine this side of people
with people who show lots of positivity, they imagine this side
though thinking about it, I wasn't any different

Kim: when I was having hard times, figured that people were also secretly hiding their own struggles
otherwise I'd feel so uniquely lonely and fall behind
Chuu: right.. me too
Kim: but i'm not telling you to go embrace and understand everybody!!

Chuu🐧: and I think I'm lacking in many ways too
Kim: Everyone's lacking in many ways. I'm missing a tooth
🐧: oh, you're fine without that!
Kim: and losing bone density
🐧: me too, dancing so much, my joints are--
Kim: no consoling me
🐧: it's not,
Kim: im 43
🐧 it's the trut--

Chuu: you look so young, you must take such good care of yourself, that's such a surprise to me

Chuu: honestly right now I'm showing myself a lot in variety shows, but someday I'd like to try and receive love for my singing as well

Kim turns on Heart Attack, says it's amazing

Kim: You know LOONA's famous for having lots of great songs, right? Reactions from abroad first

Kim: It feels amazing seeing people looking onstage, right?
Chuu: With concerts seeing fans' expressions as the most tearjerking, but that's hard now
It was kinda hard at first,

🐧: on every performance onstage the energy we'd exert, we'd get way more back from the fans
Kim: Yes that's so difficult
🐧: and now that's not there, so TTTT
Kim: Once you meet them after a long time, (sends picture) I guess you'll be like that!
🐧: I jumped really high...

Kim: Especially these days, people who are the type to give energy, I think they need to look into themselves to recharge
Kim: You supposedly are a good listener for others' concerns
Chuu: I don't know if I'm good, maybe it's because I'm the oldest sister, I like it, it's fun

Chuu offers to hear Kim's concerns
Kim: yes here's my concern
actually the writer told me that Chuu was a good listener for concerns, and told me to have you listen to a concern I have. but I've never done this really, so I can't get it out! What do I do here?

Actually when I'm going around on schedules and activities I don't have time to get along with anyone there, and haven't really leaned on anyone, but really wanted to, so when I feel down, I'm not sure.

I don't even remember what's tiring me out, and I think that's kind of festering - actually I think I'm getting more time alone, and am worried that you're feeling lonely, though it would be a relief if you're not

Chuu: time alone if you like it could get your mind off it, but she's not sure. And if you have no time to do what you like, just get someone, and beer!!!
Kim: I don't like drinking so...
Chuu: then sikhye (nonalcoholic rice drink)... sry

Kim: What do you like doing, Chuu?
A wish for Chuu is just to sing at a small concert venue
Eana gives Chuu pointers on how to start a concert (high energy songs for the first few, for example)

Chuu surprises Kim Eana by saying that she's never been to a concert before

Kim (realizing Chuu's been busy preparing or being an idol for so long) asks Chuu who she'd like to see first
Chuu: IU
Kim Eana talks about hearing 23 at IU's concert, says IU concerts are amazing
Chuu guarantees that she'd cry if she ever went

Kim mentions a point where IU sang along w/o instruments in a huge venue and she strongly experienced IU's feelings being conveyed, and says Chuu can do it too, and that that energy's precious (Chuu: *hyperventilating*)

Kim says the energy Chuu gives off is saved somewhere out there in the universe and when Chuu needs it, it'll return
Chuu says she feels like she's getting such good energy on this show
Kim: universe storage with a sign indicating its presence

Kim: it all adds up, I really do believe that, about life
Chuu: I'll have to work hard to save up
Kim: If you already have that nickname for your heart, you're set, the universe will also be like "yeah the biting heart, that's solid"

[Kim had Chuu lyrics, for more energy]

🎶You're prettiest when you're smiling
I like everything about you
I'll always be by your side
to shine even from afar,
I'll be the moon in the night sky🎶

Chuu: and write "Eana" here...
Kim compliments her voice

Kim asks if the song has a choreo (Chuu just does a bunch of biting hearts)
Kim: "to shine even from afar..."
Chuu says she'll think a lot about today
