[220511] Akdong Seoul radio w/ DJ #KUN 🐻 Chinese to English Translation Highlights 🎙translation thread🎙 #KUNONAIR #AkdongSeoul #KunD #DJKun #钱锟 #쿤

~opening~
Kun talked about a saying that’s basically like how our youth may be a time where we feel lost, but that’s normal for everyone(?)
🐻: If you succeed sooner it doesn’t mean you’ll always be successful and if you succeed later it doesn’t mean you’ll fail. Let’s +

+ all find our own answers in our busy/lost(?) youth~ (T/N: idk how to convert that sentence to English lmao it’s not piecing together in my head sorry)

Now playing “Smile Again” by Rumble Fish

open.spotify.com/track/4K0AFoKh…

🐻: how do we tackle our state of feeling lost? The first step is to accept the reality, adapt your problem solving strategies to the situation, keep moving forward and you’ll be okay!

~Today’s TMI~
OP said they feel like there’s a lot of things out of their control especially like interpersonal relationships so they’re a little disappointed. OP had an argument w/ a classmate and couldn’t hold back the other day and let out their feelings so there might be+

+ awkward situations later on. OP asked Kun for advice and to give them luck and hoped others won’t meet the same situation
🐻: First of all, good luck/cheering for you. Idk about others, but for me if I can avoid conflict with others I’ll do so. Maybe bc I’m better at keeping +

+ it to myself, but even then that’s not the best idea to keep it bottled up because it makes you feel miserable. But really interpersonal relationships is truly a difficult part of life - KunD feels the same too. Wonder if our listeners have good advice for this listener?

Now playing “WITHOUT YOU” (Chinese ver.) by NCT U

(T/N: omg my fave :’)))

open.spotify.com/track/51q7nOFt…

~Quiz Show w/ Caoli jie~
🐻: earlier there was a listener who had some troubles with interpersonal relationships - any advice for them?
👩🏻: as social beings we‘ll have to interact to some extent, so based on my experience, first you shouldn’t have the mindset of wanting to +

+ change others. After getting rid of this mindset, interpersonal relationships will seem a lot less burdensome. Humans tend to have a bad habit of wanting to change/fix others
🐻: ahh I understand it’s like sometimes you’ll project what you want to see onto your image of others+

+ so that’s a scary thing as well
👩🏻: that’s right - it’s impossible that everyone fits your ideals 100% so as long as you get rid of that mentality and try to understand the person, you’ll feel a lot more relaxed!

🐻: oooh as expected of our caoli jie who has lived a few more years (than us) haha every sentence hit the point! 😆
👩🏻: *cracking up*

Q1: Guessing the animal from the sound bytes
Hints: both are herbivores, one is fur-less another one has feathers but doesn’t fly.
They’ll reveal answers after song break~

Now playing “Traffic Control” by GIRIBOY ft. HEIZE

open.spotify.com/track/26uYvBwp…

Answers: Elephant (kun got it), Ostrich

For the second sound byte kun said it sounded like someone w/ a stuffy nose, but based on the hints feathers and can’t fly he guessed it right and was like
🐻: how do ostriches sound like this?
👩🏻: isn’t it cute? Haha like someone snoring

👩🏻: Actually ostriches can be quite mean
🐻: right they’ll chase people right
👩🏻: I thought they looked cute on tv but they’re huuuuge in person and kinda mean and run really fast lol

🐻: to my knowledge, an animal that tends to be nicer is an alpaca 🦙 at Jeju island in a pasture I saw some and they’re sooooo cute. The farmer had a pack of alpacas but there’s one that was like the mother and they followed here everywhere it was so cute 🥺

👩🏻: their fur is so soft too
🐻: ah alpacas…after that day I began finding them super cute :)) if you have the opportunity you should go see alpacas! Just be careful when they spit 😂

Q2: (from a listener) brain teaser 5 > 0 > 2 > 5 what is this?
Hint: this is used when you need fairness/decision
🐻: ooooh I know I know now
They’ll reveal answer after the song break~

Now playing “520” by Fiona Sit

open.spotify.com/track/6iValCV9…

Q2 answer: Rock Paper Scissors
Rock = 0
Paper = 5
Scissors = 2
Thus 5 > 0 > 2 > 5
🐻: oooo sense
👩🏻: thank you OP~ hope more listeners can send in fun questions like this for us to answer! :D

Q3: guessing drama from the lines
Kun said the bgm is so familiar/iconic so it’s easy to guess
🐻: lemme tell you - this drama/series from beginning to end is like 80-something episodes I’ve seen it like 5 times through
👩🏻: wow really??

🐻: back in my student days, this was the drama I watched when I was eating/having meals
👩🏻: ahh this drama is really suitable for watching while eating
🐻: I even bought the DVD set because that’s what we used to watch back then. I even watched these while I lived with my+

+ grandparents for awhile and my grandpa would complain whenever I put it on like “ah…this again??” Because I watched it so often 😂 he’d complain and ask to watch the news instead. So I know a lot of these lines by heart even now

they'll reveal the answer after a song break~

Now playing “雙節棍” by Jay Chou

open.spotify.com/track/666P7s4z…

LMAOO we got rapper kun after the song break as he was trying to cover the song 😂
🐻: I’m all hyped up now from this song but I have no idea how it relates to the answer lmao

Answer: 武林外传 (My Own Swordsman) Caoli and Kun mentioned how the lines are iconic and identifiable

Next Q - guessing movie from OST
🐻: seems like an oldie…
👩🏻: a real-life adaptation in 2020 based on an animation
🐻: hmm…SpongeBob SquarePants?
PD-nim: *ddaeng* (wrong)
Kun realized the answer and said he’s only seen the animated version

Answer: Mulan
👩🏻: a lot of ppl watched this back then!
🐻: yeah! One difference is the animated version has Mushu dragon. We used to joke around that Xiaojun looked like Mushu so Ten often called him “小笼” (Xiao long = little dragon) hehe XJ does have dragon-like features :)

Last Q is guessing movie from the poster
Hints: 2 part movie, korean movie, fantasy(?) genre touching on the experiences of afterlife,

🐻: I watched both! Our sunbaenim D.O. is in both movies, so I watched it at first because of that because I really like D.O. Sunbaenim~ His acting is so great! I love watching movies he acts in ☺️ *listing various movies* do you know he learned how to tap dance just for a movie!

🐻: recently he’s filming the korean version of Jay Chou’s “不能說的秘密” (Secret) ah I think we’ve strayed from the topic 😅 let’s reveal the answer!
Answer: “Along with the Gods” (part 1)
🐻: the Qs were easy today except for the 520 one..
👩🏻: should I make them harder 😆

🐻: yes that would be better hahah…the first Q really did sound like snoring lol do u snore?
👩🏻: I don’t think so, but idk for sure LOL I think I talk in my sleep tho my mom said before she heard me yell in the middle of the night and came to check on me but I wasn’t awake

👩🏻: so i was yelling in my dreams
🐻: my dormmate told me I’d sit up in the middle of the night
👩🏻: omg that’s kinda scary LOL you didn’t know?
🐻: I have no recollection of it lol apparently sometimes I’d even sit up, say a few words, and go back to sleep I have no recollection

Caoli jie mentioned people who talk in their sleep and like respond to you in their sleep like a friend she had who told her about the weather before going out but ended up not joining them and was like “why didn’t you get me??” and +

caoli jie was like “you responded to me?? I thought u were awake” 😂 and the friend was like “when did I respond to you? I don’t remember that happened” and it scared them LOLL
🐻: our time is about up today~ thank u caoli jie see u next week!

🐻: Our program is nearing the end today~ lastly we’ll play a song KunD really really likes, which is Jason Mraz’s “I Won’t Give Up”. See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
