🐑: Everyone is their own writer, editor, and reader. Is it a happy ending or a bad ending? That’s up to you! Let us know what you’ve accomplished recently~
Now playing “Happy Ending” by Primary, Jinsil, GARY
🐑: (script) The end of every story is determined by the beginning. This is a reminder to be serious about every major decision we make so we can get the best outcome!
~Today’s TMI~
OP’s message was in english - OP is returning to office on Monday and is nervous bc it feels like the first day of school and they have to work with a lot of new people. OP thanked YY for adding energy to their life~
🐑: I don’t think I have any advice haha just stay calm and be yourself! That’s how you won’t get nervous - just be yourself :D
Next OP’s TMI is that because of class they can’t listen to akseo live, so they usually listen to the replay while doing homework because yangyang’s voice makes them feel less lonely and more focus/less distracted by scrolling through their phone
🐑: wowww I wouldn’t have thought listening to my radio would help you concentrate! Haha when I listen I feel like I can’t concentrate. But thank you for tuning in regardless if it’s live or replays! I hope your studies will go smoothly and you’ll continue to stay with me~
~New KPOP w/ LaiLai~
🐑: “welcome LaiLai! Very glad to meet you…” this script is a little strange 😂
🎵: I heard last week there was a new guest DJ host that was received very well haha (t/n: they switched roles for April Fool’s Day lol)
[1st song: “Grey Suit” by SUHO]
🐑: oooh suho sunbaenimm~
LaiLai talked about how this was Suho’s first comeback after returning from enlistment and YY was like “ah, he must have had a lot of experiences within those 2 years”. LL talked about how suho mentioned this song was+
+ inspired by the novel “Momo” especially the concept of time. In the past 2 years he had been thinking of how he should spend it and Suho developed a habit of recording his daily life, thoughts, etc. and this song shared a lot of those things he recorded throughout his time
LaiLai talked about how “Grey Suit” refers to the feeling of when time stops, it feels like the colors are lost/turn grey, but when he meets fans it feels like the bright light/colors return so it changes from grey to color.
🐑: ah EXO has no shortage of passionate fans, but enlisting causes an inevitable break in the daily life/routine, so he might’ve thought “ah…so what I had before was this” and cherish what he had even more!
🎵: Suho participated in the lyric writing/production and wanted to +
+ fully portray his thoughts into his entire solo album. He said he didn’t feel burdened preparing the album, but when he thought about releasing this whole album to his friends & fans, he was a little nervous about whether or not he could accurately capture and represent fans’+
+ continuous passionate support during this time
🐑: wah…this is his solo…but for me we’re still doing group releases/comebacks and I’m still nervous even for those haha 😅
LaiLai talked about “Morning Star” and how it’s inspired by a dream Suho had during his enlistment period about having a concert. For “Moment” it’s about the moment a singer finishes their performance in front of fans - the passion they feel, the relationship with their fans +
+ all channeled into this song
🐑: wah…I feel like I can understand (Suho’s) thoughts because when concerts end there are usually a lot of emotions…so much that sometimes you can’t even process them and need 1-2 days to digest. Like you said, he had about 2 years to process+
+ these feelings and experiences and then be able to portray them in such a meticulous way in this song…so I think this album was prepared so thoughtfully and is such a well rounded release.
🐑: wah…this is a really emotional song. I can tell that he wrote this song with very strong feelings behind it~
(T/N: so true…this whole album and Suho’s voice in general is just absolutely amazing :’)))
[2nd song: “Starry Night” by NATURE]
LaiLai mentioned the nickname (or ship name?? lmao) listeners gave LaiLai and Aurora (who is a member of NATURE) when she was the akseo guest DJ right before YY
🐑: ahh she should’ve been the host today!
🎵: she did originally promise (but) 😅
[3rd song: “Still Life” by BIGBANG]
🐑: Wow…I really like BIGBANG’s songs. Even before I care to korea to be a trainee I already listened to their music. Wow this is their first comeback in 4 years!
🎵: yes! And in this album’s cover they featured flowers, which was also linked+
+ to their previous comeback with “Flower Road” so there’s a storyline woven through it
🐑: ohh wow…but yeah their songs are all really good they’re all hit songs!
LaiLai went into more detail about the album/song and why it was released on 4/5 (tomb-sweeping day to honor +
+ ancestors and pay respects and korean farmers would typically start their work for the fall harvest(?)) so BIGBANG wanted to bring a feeling of a new seed being planted/ a new beginning which is also why it was released at 00:00 instead of in the evening.
🐑: wow… every time I speak to you I feel like I’m interview members of the group haha
🎵: ah…yeah it’s not easy haha that’s how much research I do to prepare for this show 😅
Then LL talked about the styling of the 4 members for this comeback
[4th song: “Love Dive” by IVE]
🐑: Ohoo 1-2-3-4-5-6-7~
YangYang mentioned how this song was also released on the 5th and LaiLai said it’s probably because it’s a good date. LL also talked about how IVE hit instant popularity with their debut song Eleven and how ppl were already+
+ looking forward to their new release - who knew they would really come back so quickly with new songs
🐑: We listen to “Eleven” quite often haha it’s a pretty good song
🎵: right especially the place where it changes tempo which leaves a strong impression~
LaiLai talked about how “Love Dive” is about having the courage to love anyone or anything (not necessarily romantic, but generally too) and mentioned how a lot of songs with these types of messages are targeted towards Gen-Z/younger listeners.
LL talked about how this song’s MV captured a lot of different sides/styles of IVE from cute, to confident, to energetic, to youthful, etc. and their stage presence made this song feel really well rounded/powerful. LaiLai also briefly talked about IVE showing rap side in “Royal”!
🐑: any thoughts after listening to this song?
🎵: they are seriously such a well-rounded group - it’s easy to forget they’re rookies! They honestly continue to exceed my expectations
🐑: everything you said was very accurate haha as expected from our ‘New KPOP’ guest!
🎵: right haha I’ve done it for like an year now 😆
~KPOP News~
LaiLai talked about a Kpop related musical that’s depicting the whole process of a kpop trainee, their dreams, struggles they face, etc. and even talking about wanting to debut in the US and how there are obstacles
🐑: oh…I never would’ve thought things I had experienced (as a trainee) would one day be captured and shown in a musical haha
LaiLai talked about how f(x)’s Luna was in this musical and was able to portray her real emotions and experience into it and share with even more ppl
🐑: our time is about up today! Thank you lailai~ looking forward to next week!
🐑: Okie~ our program is coming to an end today! March and April are really the months where the weather starts transitioning to become warmer. Although the p*ndemic is still serious, I hope everyone will continue to be happy, listen to music at home, +
+ spend time with family, or anything else and maybe tune into akseo more!
