[220524] Akdong Seoul radio w/ DJ #KUN 🐻 Chinese to English Translation Highlights 🎙translation thread🎙 #KUNONAIR #AkdongSeoul #KunD #DJKun #钱锟 #쿤

~opening~
🐻: We often see many short novels turned into iconic films. What’s the novel-turned-movie that has left the deepest impression on you?

Now playing “Red Sun” by Dreamcatcher

open.spotify.com/track/5lwWpQ71…

🐻: Novels give us more room for imagination, while films visualize that imagination for us - each one has its pros!

Kun listed a few novel-turned-films that has left a deep impression on him like “Shutter Island” (2010) and a few more - he said the movie titles in Chinese +

+ and I’m not as familiar with the movie titles in mandarin lolll but anyway some other ones listener mentioned were like Twilight, Ashes of Love, Alice in Wonderland (which Kun said he watched both movies), etc.

~Today’s TMI~
OP said they went to bed after dinner yesterday bc they had a headache and slept for 12 hrs and had a dream where they were classmates with Kun. In OP’s dream they were taking a math exam and and Kun had already finished and was checking his answers and OP said +

+ they didn’t know whether this was a nice dream or a nightmare lol they also miss their old table mates from back in school bc they don’t keep in contact as much after graduation and hope to become friends with them again through their dreams(?)

🐻: I also dreamt I went back to my middle school days last night and met my Chinese language teacher! They were teaching and suddenly they were fiddling with a fancy camera and because I knew how to work this camera, I went to advise them how to use it hahaha how interesting

Now playing “Merry And The Witch’s Flower” by Baek Yerin

~Moonlight Cinema w/ Zhuama~
🐻: Zhuama do u like board games?
👩🏻: of course! I bragged about being in such a club in college last week haha it’s fun. Didn’t u say ur dream was to…(t/n: last wk Kun said he wanted to join mahjong club if he were to go back to his college days)

🐻: that was an example hahaha not a dream 😂
👩🏻: so u don’t like board games?
🐻: i wouldn’t necessarily say that haha it’s like if u want me to play I’ll play
👩🏻: I’m a fan of those mind benders/brain teasers there are so many different varieties these days!

Zhuama said she played a board game w/ friends that made her think of introducing a mystery/detective film this week. Today’s movie is “Death on the Nile” (2022) which is a mystery/detective film based on Agatha Christie’s novel from 1937 also recommended by a listener

🐻: First of all, I have a question - what do u mean by “Angelic little brother Kun-ge???” (T/N: “ge” means older brother) Did “Kun-ge” become my full name? Huh??? Incorrect 😂 Just say “angelic little brother Kun” no need for “ge”

Zhuama asked Kun if he recommended any novel-turned-films and he said he did earlier and ZM was like oh my bad I got here late
👩🏻: no but I was chatting with the others outside praising your excellent cooking skills 😆
🐻: alrighty then 😂

Kun and Zhuama talked about how this is not the first version as there have been 2 previously released in 1978 and 2004, so this 2020 version is another remake

Zhuama remembered a listener’s username who wrote in and jokingly said she wished listeners would write in more every week so she could interact with us more while also lessening her work and Kun was like “aren’t you expecting too much from our listeners 😂”

Zhuama was talking about how the director Kenneth Branagh also acted in the Harry Potter series and Kun was guessing Dumbledore except he said “Dumbleydore” fkdsljdk cute 😂 it was actually Professor Lockhart tho

They’re talking about the characters and plot mostly now, which I won’t get into unless needed for context to translate conversations, but feel free to read up on them here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_on_…

Zhuama started coughing again and said it’s because she’s been talking too much and Kun was like “yeah Zhuama truly prepared a lot to say today”

Now playing “The Game Is On” by David Arnold, Michael Price

Zhuama and Kun talked about how the realistic/majestic scenic shots of Egypt were also an iconic part of this new 2022 remake
🐻: have u been to Egypt?
👩🏻: no I haven’t
🐻: me either, but I really want to visit and see the pyramids and such! Egypt has a mysterious feeling~

Lmao Kun and Zhuama are talking about some theories people have about how the pyramids were formed whether they were built by Egyptians from long ago or aliens and Kun said he often watch videos & look at websites on strange topics like this lol

Zhuama talked about how a character in the film was like “everyone just loves my money I have no genuine friends” while everyone was super nice to them which Zhuama said left a deep impression on her
🐻: Then I need to ask-
👩🏻: lots of money or lots of friends?
🐻: yes 😂

👩🏻: what would u choose?
🐻: I’d choose lots of money of course 😂 I’d rather have a few close, genuine friends haha
👩🏻: are you being greedy? Then you’d have money and good friends
🐻: LOL ok $10B or 10B friends u choose
👩🏻: 10 billion friends is a little too much idk if +

+ I can pay good attention / take care of all of them 😂
🐻: right haha we have content similar to this question as well
👩🏻: then $10B vs. 1-2 close friends?
🐻: then in this situation I’d choose the 1-2 close friends :D 10 billion friends is too much LMAO the whole world would+

+ be your friend
👩🏻: but if u had 10 billion friends then money wouldn’t be an issue because they could give u money right 😂 and if u had any troubles you could go find them (t/n: Zhuama big brained lmao if each one of my 10 billion friends gave me $1 I’d have $10B anyway)

🐻: you worked hard today Zhuama!
👩🏻: *teasing* you worked hard too, didi Kun ge 😂
