Kun talked about how many people in marathons persevere through the first 30km but give up in the last 10km when the hit a wall. But long as we can get through that turning point/break through the wall, hope is within our reach
(Paraphrased)
🐻: Hard work is like (building) mounds of soil(?) - sometimes you’re just missing one side to reach success. Successful people will persevere putting in efforts little by little over a long period of time.
~Today’s TMI~
OP said their classmates are preparing for their post-grad exams and OP feel is like they don’t have a plan and are wasting time. They know they should work hard but it’s hard to materialize. OP decided to go solo-traveling after they get their teaching license
🐻: I think you are already reflecting on your life plans! I’m certain you can do it~ It’d be good to travel and see the world to put your mind at ease too. 加油! 💪🏻
T/N: pls standby…my stream is doing a weird thing where it’s stopping to buffer every 10-15 seconds 🥲 gonna try to see if restarting will fix that
The answer is B) Baby Shark (sry typo earlier) but wait…is baby shark considered kpop lmfao
Kun said he’s seen the other 3 and know the approximate views when he watched them. Baby Shark has 10.2b as of now
🐻: wait a sec there’s an issue with your question LOL u said “KR song MV”…
👩🏻: but it’s like a cover version so…
🐻: eYYYYY your questions don’t follow the guidelines 😂 the 10.2b views are on the english version so the real answer should be C
(T/N: LMAO nothing gets past Kun)
Q2: mix of 3 songs from SM artists
👩🏻: you said last week you’d be able to guess any SM songs after a certain year right? 😆
🐻: oh my god…that might’ve been an unrealistic flex LOL if I guess incorrectly, I’m sorry to all our company sunbaes haha 😅
*plays the clip*
🐻: ok I only heard one :’))
They played it a few more times and Kun got it from the chorus/ending.
🐻: not bad KunD, pretty impressive! 😂 these are all really popular songs~
🐻: I think Caoli jie can prepare harder questions next time 😆
👩🏻: haha I’ll do 4 songs and if KunD still things it’s too easy I’ll do 5
🐻: u can directly prepare 4-5 song mixes 😌
👩🏻: ohhhhh haha ur that confident?
🐻: yes I’m that confident 😌
Q2 Answer: “I” - Taeyeon, “Love Shot” - EXO, “Don’t Call Me” - SHINee and Kun’s guesses were all correct
🐻: ohohoho genius!
Kun said he heard Taeyeon noona’s “I” first bc of the guitar, then the word “shot” from “Love Shot” and then the ending part in “Don’t Call Me”
Part 2 - Movies
Q3: When was the first movie in color made?
A) 1935, B) 1940, C) 1945, D) 1946
Kun is complaining about the question technicalities again LMAO he says this is a history question and not a movie content question and Caoli jie is fighting for her life kfjslkdj 😭😂
👩🏻: I wanted everyone to guess the title, but it’s a little too hard
🐻: of course, there prob aren’t many who know this movie - we’re not from that generation like Caoli jie
👩🏻: 👁👄👁
PD jie: *plays sit-com laugh track*
🐻: I feel like I’m covering for chenle today LMAO
👩🏻: I-
👩🏻: *fighting for her life again*
🐻: I’m channeling his essence
👩🏻: fair enough LMAO 🥲
(T/N: LMFAOO poor Caoli jie she will never escape 😂)
The answer was A) 1935 and Kun complained again about how the question is more history related and not strictly movie related LOL
Q4: guessing movie title based on a line from the movie
Kun got it instantly and hints are the actors in the film - Song Kangho and Choi Wooshik
The answer was “Parasite”! Kun asked they play a harder excerpt and said that might be harder than the one they played at first, but still guessable since it was an iconic part of the movie
Q5: guessing movie from the OST excerpt
🐻: aH! Ah what is it…it’s an older film…
👩🏻: based on a musical!
Kun doesn’t know what the title is but he’s heard the intro somewhere before haha
but with more hints Kun started guessing
🐻: Notre-Dame? (Incorrect)
🐻: ahHhHHHHHh Phantom of the Opera? (Correct)
👩🏻: *stunned*
🐻: wait are we revealing the answer just like this 😂 you should be like “noooo whyy how could you say the right answer oh nooo” like LanLan jie LOL
🐻: although I know LanLan jie’s reaction is real, you still should give that sort of response u kno 😂 ah~ Caoli jie is still a newbie
👩🏻: ok ok let’s act it out
🐻: “Ah, I know! Is it “Phantom of the Opera”?
👩🏻:
👩🏻: I can’t act it out LMAO
🐻: LMAOOO never mind then 😂
🐻: honestly I blindly guessed haha
👩🏻: friends & listeners who like musicals must have watched this before!
🐻: if everyone has the chance, see if any places are performing this live for you to see! I remember seeing ads for “Phantom” last year - Kyuhyun sunbae was in it!
🐻: Our time is about up this week! Looking forward to the questions you’ll bring us next week~
👩🏻: i feel like my questions weren’t totally successful these past 2 weeks LOL
🐻: let Bao ge sing a couple famous english songs 😂
👩🏻: his singing doesn’t compare to mine hahaha
🐻: nono it needs to be bad for it to be fun 😂
👩🏻: okay LMAO I’ll go ask him
🐻: Okay our program is coming to an end! Lastly, we’ll play WayV’s “After Midnight”. Hope everyone will tune in tomorrow for Akdong Seoul brought to you by Kun! See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
~opening~
🐻: Often before we begin something, we’ll often think ahead about the outcome first. The outcome will affect us, but won’t determine our lives, so whatever you want to do - just start!

Kun said as we spend more time these days, we might play more on our computer or phone these days, but in our childhood we played outdoor games more frequently.
🐻: What are some childhood games you enjoy?
~opening~
🐻: People often say mornings are a very precious time - we can use the morning to set a good start for the day, so eating breakfast is really important! Although I often don’t eat it haha…what does everyone like to eat for breakfast? Send in messages and let us know!

[220226] Akdong Seoul Weekly Highlights~
Ah seems like today’s segment is hosted by LanLan jie! 🥺 No kun today, but LanLan will feature highlights from the Mon-Fri akseo programs~
LanLan said TMIs are one of her favorite segments and shared a TMI when she just came to korea, her korean wasn’t that great but she went to a cake shop so she tried ordering by pointing to a menu and the shop owner asked “Name?” meaning name of the cake +
+ but LanLan misunderstood and was thinking “why do I have to give my name while ordering a cake in korea?” but gave them the benefit of the doubt and told the shop owner “LanLan” 😭😂 kdsldf she ordered a LanLan cake hehe 🍰
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
~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!
