[220223] Akdong Seoul radio w/ DJ #KUN 🐻 Chinese to English Translation Highlights 🎙translation thread🎙 #KUNONAIR #AkdongSeoul #KunD #DJKun #钱锟 #쿤

~opening~
🐻: Trust is like a piece of paper - if it get’s wrinkled/creased it won’t be able to go back to it’s original state. So don’t kid around with your credibility! If you lost it, it will be hard to gain back
(T/N: again, this is generic advice in the script)

Now playing “The Only” by Raiden ft. IRENE of Red Velvet

open.spotify.com/track/63BGyvr6…

🐻: sometimes, white lies might be necessary in life, but you should never maliciously deceive others because the ones you can deceive are the ones who believe/trust you
(T/N: again, generic scripted advice pls don’t read into it)

~Today’s TMI~
OP went for a checkup and the doctor told them to take off their shoes for the height/weight standard check so OP took off all their accessories, bag, etc. and said the doc recommended they drink less coffee and more milk bc they had below avg bone density

TW // weight
🐻: at my health checkup last year…you see I’m already 2- I mean 18+ and last year I grew 1 cm :D as for weight…I won’t reveal it! You can guess but not as heavy as you’d imagine. I remove a lot of my clothes when I weigh myself as well

Next OP said their TMI is they got a boyfriend after knowing him for 2 yrs (but OP also said childhood friend?) but bc of the p*ndemic they can’t meet often. He’s going to study far away from where OP is so they’re going to do long-distance

🐻: wait a sec u said childhood friend why did u only know him for 2 yrs? Shouldn’t it be since u were little? (T/N: cmts are saying maybe OP made a typo and meant 20?) Sorry I focused on a side point LOL. Wishing you both good luck I’m sure you’ll have a long happy relationship~

Now playing “Time Lag” by Motte

New guest today is Caoli jie!
👩🏻: LanLan jie gave me the responsibility to me!

👩🏻: if KunD requests it I’ll reach out to him to ask him to do it hahaha

🐻: what about Bao ge? (caoli’s husband)
👩🏻: nahh he knows mandarin haha
🐻: what if we ask him to sing in a language he doesn’t know?
👩🏻: haha then…in Thai? 😆
🐻: Thai…I prob won’t be able to guess what song hahah I don’t listen to Thai songs often

They said listeners can send in quiz questions we want them to answer and they’ll choose some! (🐻: regular questions - not questions directed at me…remember that so you’ll have a chance of getting chosen 😂)

First part is about world records
Q1: what is the depth of the deepest ocean?
A) 9000m
B) 10000m
C) 11000m
D) 12000m
Eliminated A and hint it’s in the marina trench, 2nd deepest is tonga tench 10800m

Now playing “Apollo 11” by JAMIE ft. Jay Park

open.spotify.com/track/2PudJHuP…

Answer is C) 11000m deep
🐻: I saw a documentary of someone attempting to dive into the trench but no one has ever gotten to the bottom only around 10000m or so and they said years ago you could see beautiful marine life there but now it’s just filled with trash :(

Q2: fastest animal in the world
A) Peregrine Falcon
B) White-throated needletail
C) Antelope
D) Cheetah
They eliminated B and both Caoli said she hadn’t heard of this animal before this quiz Q. Hint from Kun: this animal’s avg speed is 320kmh but can go up to 390kmh

🐻: I also know this from a speed-related wildlife documentary :D
👩🏻: *jokingly frustrated* I’m gonna unfollow for being so uncooperative 😂
🐻: I listen to those often hahaha like bedtime stories before I sleep 😆

🐻: I previewed the questions today and they’re…ahahaha
👩🏻: none of them can stump you?
🐻: seems like it 😂

The answer is A) peregrine falcon! Caoli talked about how most ppl probably thought it was cheetah and Kun said it’s prob the slowest out of them but fastest on land!

Kun and Caoli jie compared the speeds to being faster than most cars/high speed bullet train and even faster than some planes

Second part Qs have to do with music
Q3: guess song from intro
*PDnim plays 0.5 seconds*
🐻: okie I know 😂
👩🏻: PDnim you played too long of a clip! 😆

🐻: Caoli jie you can’t make questions with this topic hahaha I told u I know instantly 😆 it’s Jay ch- won’t say it for now…any other hints?
👩🏻: *in despair* It’s a Chinese…style…song
🐻: ohHhhHHhH 3 words right 😆

Now playing “Tropical Rainforest” by S.H.E

open.spotify.com/track/07dad3xV…

The correct answer is Jay Chou’s “髮如雪” (Hair Like Snow) and Kun and Caoli talked about how this songs is over 10 yrs old (17 yrs since it came out in 2005) and how the song has deep Chinese traditional music themes and the MV is really pretty.

Kun said his favorite lyrics Vincent Fang has written are from “青花瓷” (Blue and White Porcelain) “天青色等煙雨 而我在等你” (t/n: translates to “the blue sky is waiting for the misty rain and I am waiting for you”)
🐻: wah~ these lyrics are too beautiful…so awesome

👩🏻: I’m sure KunD will be able to write lyrics like this in the future
🐻: I hope so!! I’ll need to read more books to write lyrics as good as this
👩🏻: no worries - just participate in my quiz a few more times and you’ll be able to write lyrics like this 😂
🐻: haha I’ll consider

Q4: guessing songs from a mix of songs
It was difficult so they had to listen again Kun said he heard 2-3 songs
🐻: the audio for Gu Ren Gui was too loud LOL also the sound of a boy…I think I can guess one of them… (t/n: he guessed a few and all of them were wrong)

Now playing “Hot Sauce” by NCT Dream

open.spotify.com/track/6B8MM3PV…

👩🏻: the song hints at the identity of one of the answer’s singers
🐻: that’s right hahaha he’s a “veteran singer” who’s also in that group 😂
🐻: the answers are - “Gu Ren Gui” by Kun, “Chocolate King” by Chenle, and “Song of the Wind” by Wu Qingfeng

The last song was harder to guess because of the soft piano intro which is not as discernible and drowned out amongst Chenle’s song with easy discernible kid’s voices lol. Caoli jie noted how chenle’s pitch was very high back then haha

Q5: guess the 3 english songs mixed together
🐻: ahh ok I know now!
👩🏻: any hints?
🐻: they’re all english songs 😆
Other Hints: one of the singers is King of Pop w/ signature moonwalk dance, another artist is also legendary, and the last song is inspirational

LMAOO Kun started saying the lyrics to “I believe I can fly” in mandarin “我相信我自己可以飛 我相信我自己可以碰天空” (“I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky”)

Answers: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson, Talking To the Moon - Bruno Mrks, I Believe I Can Fly

Caoli jie said non pop singers will be familiar with these songs since they’re pretty iconic/representative of their eras
🐻: today’s questions were easy! Next time you can maybe try mixing 4-5 SM artist songs from after 2005 and I think I can guess them…well I shouldn’t +

+ too much hahah I’ll do what I can
👩🏻: This first time I took your emotions into consideration LOL let you be happier (from getting all these q’s right) hahah ok I’ll account for your abilities next time

🐻: don’t be too lenient though 😂 it’s ur first time not mine haha although today’s questions were considered quite difficult…maybe it’s just that u have a host who’s a bit smarter 😌😂 (👩🏻: *cracks up*)

🐻: our time is about up today! Looking forward to the questions from Caoli jie next week~
👩🏻: okayy see u next week!
🐻: you worked hard~ see you next week!

🐻: our time today is coming to an end! Lastly we’ll play the song “Can’t Control Myself” by Taeyeon. Hope everyone will continue tuning in tomorrow to akseo brought to you by Kun! See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
