🐻: We often hear ppl say they don’t want to waste their free time, but also don’t know how to spend it meaningfully. Hobbies don’t spring up overnight & take time to cultivate, so u need to go step by step. That’s why taking the first step is so important!
🐻: What hobby does everyone have? For example, you could learn to play an instrument, crafting, or even cleaning around the house! Or you can also be like me and try out extreme sports like racing, skydiving, etc. haha. If you learn how to enjoy the happiness that hobbies +
+ bring, your life can be transformed!
~Today’s TMI~
OP just finished their masters thesis defense and said bc it’s all online it’s a less stressful than in person, but also week awkward graduating online both undergrad/masters because there was no ceremonies or anything the +
+ past few years and mentioned they’ll be entering the workforce soon
🐻: KunD wishes you a happy graduation and quick integration into the workforce/society so you can learn even more useful things! Jia you~ 💪🏻
Next OP renewed their license but don’t drive because they’re quite timid and afraid to drive. OP asked what they need to focus on/pay attention to when they drive
🐻: you’ve asked the right person haha. First, be sure to put on a seat belt and don’t go over the speed limit!+
+ Also, check your rear view mirror more and your side mirrors especially when you’re changing lanes. As long as you do these well, you should be able to drive safely! :)
~My Personal Playlist~
[1st song: All For Love]
OP said they rly like the instrumentals/accompaniment a lot and also rly like Kun’s part after the rap so it’s always on replay
🐻: I really like this song a lot too! I remember we also had choreography which we performed during the showcase - hope we have the chance to perform this song’s stage again in the future!
[2nd song: “奇妙能力歌” by Chen Li]
OP is not musically inclined w/ instruments, so they’re very impressed by people who know how to play them. They had a classmate who brought a guitar and sang this song in class so this song is very memorable to them
🐻: I’ve been practicing piano a lot these days. The song I’ve been playing the most is NCT Dream’s “Never Goodbye” which I transcribed a while back. I can play it pretty well now, so I hope I can film a video (of my cover) and share it with everyone soon! ☺️
[3rd song: “When The Cherry Blossoms Fade” by I.O.I
OP dedicated this song to all those who are graduating soon and said we should all work hard to live the next chapter of our life well and make even better memories~
🐻: that’s right, it’s already May! Wishing all those who graduate can find their even better future. Jia you~ 💪🏻
Now playing “When The Cherry Blossoms Fade” by I.O.I
~Indie Paradise w/ Chuyuan~
🐻: chuyuan ge in your youth were you a rebellious kid?
🏝: I feel like everyone has that stage back then haha during my era, Jay Chou’s “雙截棍” (Nunchucks) was popular so insisted on buying a pair (T/N: LMAO HELP)
🐻: LOLL did you get one?
🏝: ya but I got hurt practicing so I had welts all over my head 😅 I thought they looked cool
🐻: ah later on they came out with sponge nunchucks haha
🏝: yeah…didn’t have those at the time :’)))
Today’s Indie artist as request by a listener, is BOL4!
Chuyuan gave some background on BOL4 how it’s a duo (debuted in 2011) turned solo and how they participated in survival/competition shows and were eliminated, but gained popularity & love from the audiences
[2nd song: “Red Lipstick]
🏝: chocolate was a sweet song, but this one is a bit different! Red Lipstick is about how we’ll inevitably pay attention to how others perceive us and may doubt ourselves, but everyone is unique, so no need to forcibly apply a color (aka no need +
+ to conform to others’ perceptions) and your answer/view is the right one for you
[3rd song: “Seoul”]
🐻: Chuyuan, how do you feel about Seoul?
🏝: I think Seoul is a city that carries the dreams of many people who come here from all backgrounds full of hope and passion
🐻: oooo~ that’s right haha a lot of people will come here to chase & realize their dreams
[4th song: “Galaxy”]
🏝: In relationships, there’s a phrase to express your feelings (korean phrase)
🐻: Ahh it’s like “I can give you everything”
🏝: right so this song is like “I’ll give you the whole galaxy”
🐻: chuyuan ge would you like to travel to the galaxy?
🏝: yes of course!
🐻: me too haha I hope one day when we’re still here we’ll be able to experience that since it’s still not really attainable now for everyone (to visit space). I’d like to experience no gravity!
🐻: maybe we’ll see shining stars up there in the skies!
🏝: and maybe when we look down on Earth and see you, you’ll also be a brightly shining star ☺️
🐻: *cracking up* aiyoooo~ what’s with you today LMAO chuyuan ge what’s with you today???
(T/N: HELP LMAO but same, Chuyuan)
Sry jumbled in my head so worded it weirdly LOL should be like “when you’re looking down on earth you’ll also be/we’ll see you as a brightly shining star”
Chuyuan unprovoked but that’s the power of Qian Kun 😌 did his new haircut also push u over the edge like the rest of us?
[5th song: “Tiramisu Cake” by We Are The Night]
This was recommended by a listener and OP wrote the description like an ad 😆 basically like if you need a mood booster this song will help
🐻: you worked hard, Chuyuan ge! See you next week~ Our time is about up today hope everyone will continue tuning in! Bye bye~
🎵: while we were introducing Astro’s song I had a thought - another benefit of becoming an adult is we can make better decisions on our own
🐻: yeah I think that’s the case for most people! Although a small group still do keep their childhood innocence/naivety~
🐻: We often think that when communicating, speaking is most important, but actually listening is rly important too! Effective communication includes listening to others and being respectful and attentive when they express themselves. That way you can become a good communicator!
🐻: Listening is not only using your ears, but with your whole heart to hear the unspoken messages and feelings behind the person’s words when chatting. Thus, attentively communicating will bring the best results!
~opening~
🐻: when we’re little we wish we can grow up quickly, but when we grow up we wish time would flow by slower. Wah~ this is growth - there’s both happiness & struggles. Everyone, what do you think was the time you grew up?
T/N: I’m gonna combust he looks so gooood 🥹
~opening~
🐻: as we go into summer, the fruits in the supermarkets start becoming plentiful in full force~ Hope everyone’s mood will be as sweet as this fruit! What is everyone’s favorite fruit?
🐻: Actually, there’s no perfect choice/solution in every situation - to accept the reality of each day and treasure your experiences that become a part of you is the best way to approach it!
🐻: one of the most hard working groups of people during this p*ndemic are our healthcare workers! Happy international Nurses Day to al nurses! Send in messages/your best wishes to nurses here~
