~opening~
🐑: Only knowing how to receive happiness is not real happiness. In life, knowing how to give back and help others is also helping yourself! What kind of unforgettable help has everyone received? Send in messages to let us know~

Now playing “Help Me” by (G)I-DLE

*reading listener comments*
OP had a PE exam and they forgot their PE uniform and lent it to them luckily they were around the same size
🐑: ah this is a good friend- best friend! BF…best friend forever ah- BFF hahaha

Another listener recounts the time they were in 5th grade and weren’t good at english, but had an english teacher who patiently taught them so they’re very thankful

🐑: to meet a teacher who really helps you will really help your life/growth a lot. Like me, my teachers were all really good to me. Here’s a TMI - when I was in elementary school, my teacher would take the 1st to 5th place students in class to eat steak during finals. +

+ But because this teacher really liked me, even though I was placed further behind in class, I was able to join 😂 This teacher really helped me a lot too, so I want to say thank you to them here. This is my 1st grade/2nd grade teacher Wu laoshi~

~Today’s TMI~
OP said in winter, they’d listen to “Beautiful” and watch the snow outside on the way to work, but now since it’s spring, listening to “Stand By Me” is really fitting. OP asked YY what songs remind him of spring! Because of stanning WayV, OP practiced mandarin and +

+ can finally reach their goal of sending in messages to akseo (t/n: OP is in Japan!)
🐑: wah…your mandarin is learned?? I thought it was your native language wowwww *claps* very impressive very impressive! すごいです (sugoi desu)~

🐑: for spring, there are a few WayV songs…like “Dream Launch”, “Stand By Me”, and “Electric Hearts” (lmfao yangyang accidentally said “Electric Love” 😂). In seoul it’s getting warmer so we don’t have to wear padding (puffer jackets) so I’m rly happy and it doesn’t get dark +

+ that early either so I really like that! Good luck and make sure you stay healthy~ bye bye!

(Second TMI was in Korean)

~Free Talk Mondays with Guozhen~
TW // weight
Guozhen said he thought YangYang leveled up in handsomeness recently and asked if he got thinner (t/n: is a compliment in azn cultures I’m not gonna get into it lol)
🤓: but he came back with “I’m not someone who gains weight easily😂

TW // weight
🐑: but tbh it’s actually a difficulty for me haha
🤓: ah…for someone like me who gains weight very easily, I’m more amazed by someone who doesn’t
🐑: noo no haha for someone of my height I shouldn’t be at this weight…but I don’t plan on revealing my height hehe :)

Today’s topic is “recent acts of kindness”
OP said they helped a girl on the way to class - the girl was wearing a long skirt, so it got caught in the back tire of their bike. OP and their friend helped get it untangled from the wheel and wanted to remind everyone to be careful+

+ biking when wearing long skirts/pants because it’s dangerous
🐑: although I haven’t worn a (long) skirt before, I can guess how awkward it might be
🤓: ah you have long hair sometimes tho right? have you had the experience of getting-
🐑: my hair caught in a bike wheel? LMAO

🤓: LMAO no like when ur promoting on music shows and such it might get really hot so you have handheld fans. I once had 2 fans in my hand and my hair got caught in the fan and had to be cut out it was rly scary lol
🐑: I actually don’t sweat much-

🤓: *in disbelief* Another quality (that makes people envious)???
🐑: I’m someone who doesn’t sweat much even after dancing
🤓: ????? I’m someone who sweats just sitting here 🥲😭
🐑: so every time our makeup jiejie says I’m the most convenient (bc don’t need touch ups)

🐑: do u usually ride bicycles?
🤓: i usually rode bikes to school, but it was a regular bike. These days there are electric ones, so those are even more dangerous if you get your hair/something caught in it - everyone must be careful!

Next OP organized an event to help donate to various Indonesian wildlife conservation/environmental organizations and hope they can do it again next year!
🤓: woww these are not small acts - they’re pretty big!
🐑: I’ve noticed more and more people organizing events to help +

+ support wildlife conservation organizations. I saw this video recently of someone rescuing a sea turtle with a straw stuck in their nose and helped pull it out
🤓: right and there’s notices recently saying you should cut your mask loop string before discarding bc small animals+

+ might get tangled up in it. It’s a small thing for us, but might cause a very serious harm to small animals.
Guozhen said because he has a pet, he wants to participate in activities with organizations that help stray animals, but hasn’t had the chance to yet.

🐑: ah the members and I went to a stray cat/dog shelter and we helped them clean up their poo, played with them, and there was even a raccoon there! I was like wah~ you can raise these as pets?? So I wanted to tell everyone - if you want to raise an animal, please have a sense+

+ of responsibility! Speaking as someone who is currently taking care of 2 cats 😂 and someone raising a dog (Guozhen has a dog), so I just wanted to tell everyone this. Because they’ll be with you for at least 10ish years!

Now playing “GOOD GIRL” by Hyuna

open.spotify.com/track/52bSWMZo…

🤓: I wanted to confess something - I said earlier that I had a really tiring day so I thought my mood would be pretty down, but as we chatted I’m energized again! Broadcasting on Mondays I feel like my whole day’s exhaustion melts away
🐑: oh- right it’s Monday LOL to me +

+there’s no Mondays, Tuesdays, etc. anymore 😂
🤓: right it’s tiring but around 9pm when we start chatting I get hyped again haha
🐑: honestly I feel like we always have fun topics to chat about! :D

Next OP saw a granny who looked lost and wanted to help, but OP didn’t know the directions either, so they took out their phone to help look up directions for her. Guozhen said the bus maps/signs in korea have really small text, so it’s not easy to see

🐑: now everything is on ur phone so we don’t look at signs all that often, so I think helping out the elderly who don’t usually use phones to navigate is a great thing!

🐑: idk if listeners know about this, but there was a granny who sold (dalgona) candies and at the time it was really cold, so the members and I thought it was rly tough for her, so we bought out her candies so she could go home early and rest
🤓: did u pass them out to fans?

🐑: nooo haha we just put it on the table in our dorm and u could just go grab one whenever lol
🤓: sometimes a it’s just a small thing for you, but a big help for others
🐑: thinking about this…ah…
🤓: it’s a really heartwarming story! So heartwarming that I’m getting hot 😂

Now playing “Very Good” by Block B

open.spotify.com/track/6svBgFCn…

Next OP stayed in their town after graduation to work and there are a lot more elderly people who aren’t as technology savvy, so they helped them learn how to use mobile phones and persevered so now they can use them to communicate! OP suggested everyone help elderly learn how+

+ to use new technology so they don’t feel lonely. Guozhen talked about the “digital divide” and how it’s inconvenient for those who aren’t as tech savvy
🐑: we’ll get old too - when we’re 60-70 there’s going to be new technology, so it might be us who can’t keep up. We should +

+ look at it from that perspective - when we get there we might wish we had someone like ourselves now to teach us.
🤓: right the good deeds you do now will come back
🐑: right, this is karma!

🐑: the dorm auntie doesn’t come on weekends so I’m rly lazy w/ doing the dishes. Once I came home and saw all my dishes had been washed so was like wow…who washed them?? Turns out Ten washed them for me. You might think he teases me often, but he’s still a really good person ☺️

Next OP helped sponsor 2 kids abroad in less fortunate situations and hope they can continue helping them until they’re 18, so it motivates them to keep working hard and earn money to do so.
🐑: ah, listening to this OP they’re very generous. I think wanting to work harder to +

+ have the ability to help others is a really good mindset to have
🤓: right and acts of kindness don’t have to be something huge - like YangYang mentioned earlier you and your members helped buy out that granny’s stock and to this listener it might just mean drinking a few +

+ less cups of coffee a month, but it helps those kids have books to read or new stationery
🐑: I really respect them - like the granny who is elderly, but still comes out in the harsh cold winters to earn money. So at the time we didn’t feel pity - it was respect for her bravery

🐑: I think this is the delineation everyone needs to make
🤓: right - it’s like when you give someone a rose, you can also enjoy the beauty and fragrance of it. It’s a 2-way street of helping one another
🐑: right it’s not you standing on your pedestal to help someone. That +

+ would not be a good (mindset) to have
🤓: wowww our yangyang hit the point
🐑: I think our topic today was quite deep haha
(T/N: yes 😭 and also why I wanted to translate more dialogue than I usually do so I’m behind rip sry LOL)

Next OP forgot their umbrella on a rainy day once, so their friend helped walk them to the subway
🐑: ah…we were like this as trainees too LOL we had 5 people using 1 umbrella 😂 (t/n: LMAOO how much u wanna bet it was Kun who remembered his umbrella asdkfsldk)

🐑: haha okie we talked about so many good deeds today! So it just shows that there are still many kind people in the world~ Let’s reveal next week’s topic!
🤓: next week’s topic was specially made for YangYang…can u guess? 😆 it’s “My rap strength”
🐑: LOL “Show Me The Akseo”?

🤓: “Show Me The Monday”! 😂
🐑: we’ll mail a big gold medal to the winner hahaha (t/n: hELPP that massive gold belt pls LOL Caoli jiejie make it happen 😂)
🤓: haha send in fun stories you have about rap!
🐑: u worked hard today~ looking forward to it!

🐑: Our akseo program is coming to an end today! Hope everyone will continue to tune in tomorrow~ Lastly we’ll play a song I really like, which is HEIZE’s “And July” ft. DEAN and dj friz. See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
