Kun said he’s both looking forward and not looking forward to it
🐻: I’m someone who likes living in the present, so I think life in reality will be better than in virtual life bc you can experience different feelings, tastes, food…ah the first thing I think about is food 😆
Help what did OP say in korean Kun just took off his jacket mid sentence LOL
Someone said they’d build a huge house for themselves in a virtual world, not go to work and just listen to NCT songs all day…and would also make a virtual Kun
🐻: heheh….heheh…would making a virtual me be /that/ easy?
Another OP said they’d make their own dance group in virtual world bc their friends don’t have time to dance with them irl and they could do that
Someone else said they’re looking fwd to it bc they can create an AI Kun and virtual NCT to hang out with along w/ their friends and+
+ kun said u can do this in your dreams too if you can control/lucid dream haha
T/N: a new Kun intro/promo for akseo played today! Basically just how you can tune into Akdong seoul
TMIs were in korean today so sry can’t translate :’)
~New KPOP Songs~ with Kun and LaiLai!
🐻: Very happy to be here with LaiLai after the program change!
Kun and LaiLai talked about how they stumble across their words so much so poor PD jiejie has to do so much editing but she does it well haha
LaiLai said he’s envious of Guozhen’s Monday program because it’s “Free Talk” 😆 and Kun said Guozhen mentioned LaiLai prepares a lot on each week’s script almost putting the same effort as writing a thesis and LL was like “guozhen prepares nothing before he leaves the house” 😭
[1st song: “The Song” by BTOB]
Listener sent in a message for this! They mentioned how it’s the 1st album since their full return from the military and wanted to give fans a gift and memories, so they created this album “Together”
LaiLai talked about how this album is an extension from the group’s past dedications to the fans and the songs are very expressive sharing BTOB’s thoughts and feelings about memories and themselves with their fans. Even if there are sad memories they still share them as well
LaiLai also talked about how BTOB used the color blue a lot to represent love and the color is used throughout the MV, album, etc. The members participated in the song/lyric making of this album as well, so this album had a really personal touch from the group
[2nd song: “A Little More” by Doyoung]
🐻: ahh this is a really good song - I specifically went to listen to it a couple days ago!
LL read the listener’s brief intro to the song~
🐻: It’s really good - there was the MV and the the live version! I watched both~
LaiLai noted now Doyoung sang this song with a very light, emotional sound almost choked up at times which communicated the song’s emotion of expressing a plea for a lover who’s leaving, to stay a little longer. Kun also noted how the MV had lots of aspects of past memories in it
*after the song played*
🐻: wahhh~ I really like this. It really matches well with Doyoung’s voice! It’s so good 😭
🐻: everyone we just heard Doyoung’s “A Little More” ok after this great song we have another good song!
[3rd song: “RUN2U” by STAYC]
LaiLai talked about how this song expresses the bravery while in love like “as long as there’s love I can run forward to you” and “with love I can think whatever, do whatever without any limitations” sentiments like that
They also talked about how the MV is very magnanimous(?) which pairs well along with the song and expresses the complexities of the song/lyrics in the MV as well. LL talked about how this new album shows everyone a new side of STAYC as they become braver, more confident, etc.!
Oooh next is a new mini segment within this Friday program…which is a “free talk” corner for LaiLai to talk about new kpop music…? LMFAOO Kun was like wait there’s not much difference 😂…but I guess LaiLai got his free talk in the end kflsdfkjadj
It’s just shorter intros to some other new songs since there’s not enough time to go in depth into all of them usually! Today LaiLai talked about NMIXX’s “O.O”, EXID Solji’s first mini album “First Letter” and the title track “Fade Away”
Last song LaiLai mentioned a virtual kpop idol who released the song “Who Am I”
Kun mentioned how aespa has something like this as well, with 4 virtual idols in their MVs sometimes, but even so it’s like an extension of the members themselves bc they have to wear the motion+
+ censor suits themselves
LaiLai asked everyone to submit questions and/or titles for the mini corner!
There was no special message listener today~ Kun said tomorrow’s program will be highlights of akseo this week!
Kun was doing his outro and saying goodbye, but there was still some time left, so he had to stall 30 seconds and is now talking nonsense to stall time…Kun said something might be dropping at 10pm KST?????? He said if there is then there is then if not then not 😳 OMFKLfGJKLS
He did say he wasn’t sure if it was dropping to day…he thought so but kdflaskdf threw everyone into a panic KUN PLS IS ANYTHING COMING TODAY
Oh wait…or it could be 10pm CST?? He didn’t specify time zone sry sry…I’ll give him 1 hr LMAO
Anyway, he stalled enough time and said his regular closing ment and goodbyes!
~opening~
Kun talked about how sometimes we might see other accomplishing a lot and feel sad about not doing as much in comparison, but we should’ve give up on ourselves bc we all have our own path to happiness and success!
~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)
