🐑: talking about food, my favorite is hot pot! Everyone probably knows when we gather we’ll eat hot pot haha. When I was little, in school back in Germany we’d eat stuff like pasta. But if we’re talking German food, then I can’t leave out bratwurst, pig trotter, and old beer! +

+ it’s like the darker colored beer - but of course I wasn’t old enough to drink back then, so I can’t describe to everyone what the taste was like 😅 But I can definitely recommend pig trotter! There’s the fried kind where they stick a knife in it (when they serve to you) so it+

+ feels like your back in the olden times hahaha

LOL yangyang rapping the “Today’s TMI” intro 😂 letsgoooo rapper DJ YangMoney

~Today’s TMI~
OP’s prob their is going off to college next year and he’s worried he’ll lose all his high school friends so OP tried to comfort him by saying they’ll still get to game together every day and hang out during school breaks. OP said part of growing up is realizing +

+ that sometimes you’ll give more distant from friends, so you need to cherish those around you
🐑: i feel like most of my friends now are in seoul - those who I met as a trainee and after debut. I came to korea when I was 16, so a lot of old friends might not know what I’m+

+ experiencing and I won’t know what they are either. We’ll greet each other occasionally and ask how each other is doing, but I think those who connect with you will so don’t worry! After all, there are so many people in the world there’s bound to be one person who is very +

+ compatible with you so it’s not a huge issue because you can connect with new/more friends! So tell your brother to not worry~ Good luck!

Next OP (msg in English) said they discovered YangYang form the ZOO stage and said they rly like his voice & dance. YangYang said that’s the biggest compliment you can give to a performer, so he’ll work hard to improve!

~My Personal Playlist~
First OP recommended “Snow Dream” from the SMTOWN album by SM’s maknae line. OP said this album came out during their finals, so they were busy studying, but because yangyang in “ZOO” immediately caught their attention and they said YangD’s rap was rly cool

OP talked about how after finals, they went to a restaurant for dinner and as soon as they walked in they heard familiar song and it was “Snow Dream”! OP was rly touched bc it was the first song they heard when they came back home and wanted to recommend to everyone~

🐑: ahh I heard this song before it was released too! I told chenle that it was a very healing song that’s suitable for listening to in the winter. I think there are a lot of good songs in the SMTOWN 2021 album and I’d recommend everyone to give it a listen to hear various units+

+ with fresh sounds! Also, you mentioned there’s a lot of ppl studying hard these days and for our songs to be healing for you, this i something that makes me feel really touched. Because of fans like you, we want to make even better songs for everyone to hear. So please keep+

+supporting us and we’ll make even more healing songs for you all!

Now playing “Snow Dream 2021” by Yeri, Haechan, Chenle, Jisung, NingNing

🐑: just like maknae line, this song is very is very youthful and is very suitable for their style - outgoing, happy, and healing! I think in a group, a maknae needs to bring their older members and fans a youthful and healing feeling to everyone ☺️

[2nd song: “Wolves” by Selena Gomez]
Next OP recommends this song because it managed to capture all their emotions at first listen especially the “I’ve been running through the jungle I’ve been running through the wolves to get you”
🐑: ah I haven’t heard this song before so I’m+

+ really looking forward to it! Like the phrase you said, it sounds like this song is very inspirational. I just want to tell you - there’s nothing you can’t do. As long as you have the courage to try it, everything is possible! So good luck~ Although this is something you said +

+ to me, I want to gift it to you as well~

Now playing “Wolves” by Selena Gomez, Marshmello

[3rd song: “Pride Youth” by NZBZ]
OP wants to recommend this song bc its message reminds us that life has its ups and downs, but what’s most important is being proud of yourself and moving forward even during your down time. OP recounted the time Kun said “whatever you learn +

+ in your down time is yours to keep and stays with you forever, so don’t feel like your wasting time or being burdensome” OP hopes everyone will have the courage to be proud of yourself!
🐑: well said! And like Kun said, when we’re not having a comeback, we’re in lessons+

+ practicing because we want to show our even better, improved selves to you. But for everyone else you might not have inactive periods, so just follow your interests to learn skills you like! This will help you a lot in the future. I hope everyone has the courage to continue+

+ pursuing your dreams and be proud to be yourself! Okay~ our first half is about over today. See you in the second half!

Now playing “Pride Youth” by NZBZ

~Indie Paradise w/ Chuyuan~
🐑: wah~ I’m so happy to meet you through akseo!
🏝: me too! I kept hearing Kun mention you before and now meeting you in person I’ve realized that each WayV member is handsome in their own way!
🐑: ahh thank u thank u~ ☺️

Today’s indie musician is Hi, Mr. Memory! Chuyuan gave some background on the musician
🐑: ahh I haven’t heard of them before - this corner (Indie Paradise) will be very interesting for me!
🏝: I hope you find songs you like through this corner as well :)

[1st song: “Hangover”]
CY talked about how this song is about the singer’s hangover and heartbreak after a breakup with their girlfriend
🐑: ah…now I’m sad 🥲 but I think in order to make a good song you have to go through certain experiences. If you don’t have these life+

+ experiences and just write songs based on what you think the emotion would feel like, it won’t be as genuine

Now playing “Hangover” by Hi, Mr. Memory

🐑: Ah there seems to be 3 styles in one song! I think many young people these days listen to kpop-style music, so I think if they can hear & like some indie songs through this corner, it’ll be a great thing!
🏝: that’s right! They’ll get to expand their exposure to music variety

[2nd song “Raining Again”]
CY talked about how this song is about the memories that a rainy day brings on
🐑: do u have times when u suddenly get nostalgic during rainy days?
🏝: yeah I have times like that!

🐑: a few days ago, it was raining and I was buying stuff at a convenience store. When I walked out, I saw a bus and suddenly thought of by trainee days when I took a bus to go to the company and thought “wah…everything looks the same but I’m different now”

🏝: ah like you were transported to a different time haha
🐑: yeah! It was like ah…I’m in the future now

Now playing “Raining Again” by Hi, Mr. Memory

[3rd song: “Please Take Care of My Mom”]
CY talked about how this song was inspired by the singer’s mom’s tooth falling out from laughing too hard(?). Because the singer needed to take their mom to the dentist, they worked even harder to write & perform songs and came out w/ +

+ this song. The singer told their story and there was a dentist in the audience who was so touched they offered to do the mom’s dental work for free
🐑: wah…in the future I’m gonna come out with a song called “I love hotpot” 😂
🏝: LOLL
🐑: “I love hotpot…thank you” 🍲😂

YangYang asked if Chuyuan had any memories with his mom where he was really touched and CY recounted a time when his mom picked him up after school on a rainy day when the streets were flooded and YY said stories like this are very touching for him too

🐑: in the moment you might not feel much significance, but looking back you’ll really feel how touching it is
🏝: I also wrote an essay on this experience…it helped me earn some prize money LOL

Now playing “Please Take Care of My Mom” by Hi, Mr. Memory
