[220304] Akdong Seoul radio w/ DJ #KUN 🐻 Chinese to English Translation Highlights 🎙translation thread🎙 #KUNONAIR #AkdongSeoul #KunD #DJKun #钱锟 #쿤

~opening~
🐻: does everyone believe in miracles? Or some things that can’t be explained by logic or anything else aside from being miracles? But if there really are miracles, it might be the combination of your hard work and preparation~ By doing so you can create miracles too!

Now playing “99%” by CNBLUE

open.spotify.com/track/1ugtbwFI…

🐻: We often see headlines like “it’s a miracle!” in news sports, but we don’t often see the amount of hard work and sweat that goes on behind the scenes that athletes go through to train, overcome obstacles, and get this victory.

~Today’s TMI~
OP said they broke their finger in college and couldn’t cut nails themselves, so their dormmate helped them out. OP said you really have to cherish those around you
🐻: that’s right! Regardless of the relationship, hope everyone will cheris those around them! ^^

Now playing “Why Not?” By LOONA

open.spotify.com/track/6yGQ86Up…

Kun and LaiLai are talking about listener suggestions for the mini kpop song segment title and LL said one where they used lailai’s name in it and Kun was like “how about my name?” 😆 LL he discussed it w/ PD and Caoli jiejie and they agreed bc it has a pun w/ LL’s name

🐻: guozhen is gonna be jealous bc the name he suggested for his new segment wasn’t accepted LOL

[1st song: “Callin’” by Super Junior]
OP recommended and described how it’s a ballad talking about a man waiting for new love
🐻: ah this lyric “it’s time for love” was written well

LaiLai talked about how it’s commemorating Suju’s 17th anniversary
🎵: wah…we’re only 18 (t/n: running joke that Kun and LL are forever 18 lmfao) and they’re alrdy celebrating their 17th anniversary!
🐻: LOLL don’t say that what if they hear 😂

🎵: LOL no what I mean is we grew up listening to their songs haha
🐻: that’s true - I listened to their songs “Sorry Sorry” and a lot others while growing up~

They talked about the album and also the b-side “Analogue Radio” which is also a very warm song with a storyline. Kun noted that the animation from the MV is from various scenic areas around Seoul like the bridge and such and LL was like “is that Kwangya?” lmao

[2nd song: “Chiquita” by Rocket Punch]
They talked about how this song has disco vibes and the choreography is very catchy
🐻: I saw LaiLai suddenly do the dance/hand movements just now 😆
(T/N: naurrr why is today not viewable lmao :’))

LaiLai talked about how everyone should listen to this album in chronological order
🐻: ah yes starting from the intro! Personally I really believe there’s a thought and purpose behind the sequence of songs in an album. There’s a purpose and reason to it! From intro to interlude+

+ just like some of NCT’s previous albums that have this - it’s like listening to a story!
🎵: right and sometimes the end of a song is the beginning of the next
🐻: that’s right! The Weekend’s recent album is like this too there’s like a story from beginning to end I rly like it

[3rd song: “your voice” by Kim Feel]
This is a remake/self-cover of his song released in 2019 and is a gift for the fans since the song was re-discovered by fans when he sang it on a tv show. They talked about how the MV is like a live performance and telling a story to friends

[4th song: “Like Yesterday” by Paul Kim]
This is also a cover from a song originally released in 2000. LL talked about how the OG artist/song is very dear and nostalgic memory for Paul, so he put a lot of attention towards capturing the feel, but also injecting his personal style

🐻: If you could pick an old song to do something like this, what song would you choose?
🎵: Jaurim’s “Shining” there’s a lyric that says “will I have the opportunity in the future to put down all my burdens? Will there be a day or time like this?” It feels a bit sad and+

+unconfident, but is also healing bc it acknowledges how everyone isn’t perfect, but we have to make ourselves seem put together and perfect or at least so that others don’t see our faults. But in reality, this is a very exhausting lifestyle and we have to face our imperfections.

Now playing “Like Yesterday” by Paul Kim (remake)
