[220526] Akdong Seoul radio w/ DJ #KUN 🐻 Chinese to English Translation Highlights 🎙translation thread🎙 #KUNONAIR #AkdongSeoul #KunD #DJKun #钱锟 #쿤

~opening~
🐻: the world is unfamiliar/unknown, so it’s filled with magic/wonderment that we need to unpack one by one. The right way to do so is through exploration and innovation! What new things have you found out today?

Now playing “Popping” by ONF

🐻: Learning new skillls and knowledge can open up new doors for you to explore the world! For example, I’m learning lots of things, but there hasn’t been anything new recently…I’m just working hard to get my skydiving license right now! The weather is really nice as well too~

~Today’s TMI~
OP is older than kun but said he’s so handsome they’re still tempted to call him ‘ge’ 😂 OP said they’re inspired by Kun’s cooking skills and have been trying to get up to Kun’s level so their friends have been trying out their dishes as well. It’s also OP’s bday +

+ so they saved one of their bday wishes to wish WayV well~
🐻: Kun ge and all akseo staff & listeners wishing you happy birthday! Hoping you’ll be able to succeed in making more yummy dishes for ur friends to try as well~

~My Personal Playlist~
[1st song: “Hoppipolla” by Sigur Ros]
OP’s message was in korean, but I think they asked about Kun’s favorite pop song recently
🐻: The Weeknd’s “Out of Time”! I really like it and have been replaying it constantly recently~ I think the beats were +

+ originally from a Japanese artist’s song from a while back and The Weeknd sampled it and wrote a new melody to it! It’s a really great song hope everyone can listen to it if you have the chance~

Now playing “Hoppipola” by Sigur Ros

🐻: ahh this song does indeed give the listener positive and hopeful feelings! It’s like uplifting and sunny - I’ll definitely listen to it again in the future!

[2nd song: “Future” by Red Velvet]
OP said lyrics in the song “You are my sunshine, sunshine all the day” accurately describes their feelings towards Kun
🐻: ahh this song…have I heard it before? I’m not sure I’ll see when it plays haha but it is the OST for the drama Start Up!

🐻: if you were to start a business/some type of entrepreneurship, what would you do? For me, I think I’d create a producing/music agency to bring over all my favorite producers and write many many iconic, great songs. Perhaps possible in the future? :D

(T/N: SM shaking rn lmao)

[3rd song: “Because I Don’t Know How to Love” by FT Island
OP said FT Island is the first group they liked and Lee Hongki was their intro into kpop. OP said with this song it’s wishing everyone meet the right person at the right time

🐻: ohh so they were their intro into kpop? Makes me think of mine…I’m sure everyone will find it interesting haha the first kpop artist I knew was…*drumroll* Kangta sunbaenim! I didn’t realize until I came to the company, but I heard his song way back in elementary school +

+ which was the Chinese version of “Mask” so at the time I thought he was a Chinese artist. Then I came to the company and saw the name “Kangta” and didn’t realize, but then found out his name translated in Chinese was the one I was familiar with and I was like “ohhhhh” +

+ *humming mask* ahhh I don’t remember the lyrics but I really really liked that song back then!

They were talking about lucky/favorite numbers and Kun said his favorite is “1” because his birthday is on 1/1 and even on the lunar calendar his birthday is 11/11

+ difficulties office-women in seoul will encounter in life which is in line with the album’s concept which is expressing different experiences from the lives of people in seoul

This was a listener request and OP said because of the p*ndemic they haven’t been able to attend music festivals which they really liked doing and asked Kun if he’s been to any before. OP hopes everyone will cheer up listening to this song!
