🐻: between people, the hardest thing is understanding. Actually, if we communicate properly we can avoid unnecessary troublesome things. Did everyone communicate well today?
🐻: we often say emotional intelligence is very important and communication is a good way to increase that. Reading more books and listening to more speeches is another way to increase your emotional intelligence as well. Everyone can give it a try!
~Today’s TMI~
OP said they got stranded in the rain/flooding the other day and the shop owner they were standing in front of invited them in to wait it out, so they ended up staying there for about 2 hrs and then the restaurant owner drove them home so they were super touched
🐻: that’s right~ I think people are very kind. I’m so happy you were able to meet such kind big brothers and sisters! Hope everyone stays safe during rainy days and hope this rainy season passes quickly. Everyone stay safe!
Next OP said “Rain Day” really encourages them and that they’re proud of Kun and said it’s one of the most moving songs they’ve heard
🐻: thank you again! That’s right~ “Rain Day” is the start of my composing journey. Everyone please look forward to my new works in the future!
🐻: Since both TMIs today mentioned “Rain Day”, we can’t miss the opportunity to listen to it! :D
~New KPOP w/ LaiLai~
🐻: LaiLai what was your favorite childhood game?
🎵: when I was little…idk if anyone else played with tops before
🐻: the ones that knock against each other?
🎵: yeah! Like there’s a long stick and then you pull it
🐻: ah wasn’t there this cartoon/anime that had to do with tops? A lot of (toys) became popular because of cartoons/animes haha…
🐻: like yo-yos too! I didn’t rly know how to play with them but I saw my classmates play rly well with them and I was like +
+ “wah~ I wanna learn that too” but no matter how hard I practiced I couldn’t do it well 😅🪀
[1st song: “Love Is” by OH MY GIRL BANHANA]
Chuyuan was talking about how Oh My Girl split into units apparently the units were decided by Rock Paper Scissors because the company thought it would be interesting that way. This song is a cover from a song in 1993 sung by +
+ a 4 person boy group so the styles are quite different~
🐻: I have a question…are they really allergic to bananas?
🎵: no LOL (*explains the name*)
🐻: are there rly people allergic to bananas tho? There must be right? I’ve only heard of allergies to mangos and peaches…
🎵: idk if this is true but I saw someone say that to them bananas tasted spicy?
🐻: spicy??
🎵: yeah! It was then they realized they were allergic to bananas so it irritates their tongue and throat. They had always thought bananas were a spicy fruit
🐻: bananas are such a kind fruit - they help us with our digestion and ridding our bodies of toxins in our bodies…
🎵: yes hahah but there must be some friends out there who are allergic
[2nd song: “WHISPER” by THE BOYZ]
Chuyuan explained how they wanted to bring a refreshing, cool dream-like feeling to everyone with this song with rock vibes paired with electronic elements
🐻: ah as expected of a song released in summer!
They talked about how all the members participated in the composing and lyrics for songs in this album and through this album they wanted to show their strengths in music and solidify their youthful concept
[3rd song: “Not About You” by JUNNY]
🎵: this next song I think Kun will be even more familiar than me…it’s Junny’s “Not About You”!
🐻: ahhh our Junny~
This was recommended by a listener and they described how this song is about how unexplained misunderstandings caused +
+ cracks in a relationship and the end the guy felt betrayed by the girl so they broke up. OP said the MV is like a mini movie and that JUNNY’s acting was rly cool. They also said they rly like the b-side “Just a Number” and listening to it on the way to school or on the weekend
🐻: JUNNY worked really hard to prepare this album. I know he’s been working on it for quite a while and I’ve listened to a few songs a while ago as well - all of which I really liked! Because he’s preparing his album, every time I wanted to write songs with him he was busy +
+ so I’m not able to get him to hang out with me 😂
🎵: LOL everyone must listen to this song that came out as a result of rejecting Kun ge 😂
🐻: *joking* haha srsly I received so much hurt 😆 every time he was like “I’m busy” I said “okokok no problem we’ll hang out next time!”
🎵: whether it’s with EXO, NCT, IU, etc. he’s collabed with a lot of artists with his RnB style songs
🐻: That’s right! I often call him “genius” haha I call him that a lot because he’s seriously so impressive at composing. There’s a lot I can learn from him!
LaiLai said how JUNNY used his thoughts, experience, people he’s met, plans for the future / music etc. to dye the blank canvas that then become his songs. They talked about the MV more and JUNNY’s mischievous expression at the end and him throwing the flowers and how his acting+
+ was quite impressive
🐻: right so I said he’s a genius! He’s good at everything - even basketball! He often asks me to play w/ him but I don’t LOL I ask him to meet up and write music together but he’s busy, then he asks me to play basketball but I won’t go bc I can’t play 😂
Kun called JUNNY a genius again and said he hopes he can hear this akdong seoul program and put aside more time to write songs with him 😆
[4th song: “BYE” by RAVI ft. Whee In]
LaiLai mentioned how the lyrics talk about the difficulties of bearing the pressure of love after losing one’s will/initiative and how this song expresses the feelings everyone may experience during the transition between love and breaking up
They talked about how RAVI participated in composing the song and writing the lyrics and the collaboration between the two artists - Whee In is now in RAVI’s company and so they both really understand each other’s musical style & strengths.
LaiLai said Whee In’s voice has a lot of soul and Kun was like “ah yes singers need to express a soulful feeling when singing!”
~New KPOP News~
News 1: I think LaiLai was talking about HallyuPopFest in London? (With p1harmony everglow sf9 EXO’s chen & Kai, kep1ler oneus oh my girl etc.) and how people could experience kpop performances and different aspects of korean culture like food at this event~
News 2: NCT Dream won “Best Perfect Group Dance Idol” in the FANTOO voting poll (26.15% of the votes) so they’ll feature Hello Future and Beatbox at COEX
🐻: haha that’s right! Lemme tell you - practice group dances is a form of mutual understanding as well~
🐻: ohhh congrats to NCT DREAM!
🎵: As a NCT member, I want to ask - KunD any tips for making group dances look cool when practicing
🐻: depends on how many people LOL if it’s 20+ people then it’s quite tiring…but it’s not that bad bc we all trained under one company +
+ even though some members might have a really strong unique style, everyone’s basic skills are similar. As long as you have the basics, you can align pretty quickly. We all watch the mirror when practicing so we can see each other’s movements/moves and we often film when +
+ practicing, monitor afterwards, and immediately call out what needs to be fixed/adjusted. For example, if some member has a more noticeable difference in moves, they’ll call it out and it’ll be pretty much fixed in the future. It feels like it’s rly hard…but idk why +
+ then again not really? I can’t say it’s not hard either haha. It really is the chemistry~
Kun said every DREAM member has pretty strong dance skills and said congrats to them again~
T/N: better phrase to use here to describe Kun’s comment would’ve been “group chemistry” lol
🐻: our program is nearing the end today! Wishing everyone a happy weekend~ It’s Friday! ʸᵃʸ ☺️ Lastly, we’ll play a song I like, which is Troye Sivan’s “Talk Me Down”. See you next Monday! Bye bye~
(T/N: Troye Sivan againnn?? Is that 4 days this week Kun 😂)
~opening~
🐻: a drop of paint in a cup of water will immediately change the water’s color, but with a drop of paint in the ocean the ocean will remain the same blue color. Bc the measurements of both are different, hope we can all be mutually understanding people of one another

🐻: although the weather is still quite hot, autumn is already here! Autumn is the harvest/collection season and the season where students go back to school. What is everyone most looking forward to in Autumn? Send in messages to let us know!

(T/N: I think they might’ve been talking about a quote from The Little Prince(?) idk if I heard that correctly) but basically it’s about how language is powerful - one sentence can make someone feel like rock bottom or give someone strength so we need to use it wisely
~opening~
🐻: Today is the last day of a short 3-day break - seems like it’s been a while since we’ve had one! Breaks/holidays always go by so quickly…how did everyone spend this break?
~opening~
🐻: a person’s best life situation isn’t necessarily one where every day is vibrant/exciting - rather, it’s being able to cherish the beauty of calm days while chasing those exciting days. How has everyone been this week? Let us know~
Now playing “Happy me from today” by Lee Hyori ft. Lee Sangsoon
T/N: belated translations sry I slept through it today :’))
~opening~
🐻: Have you ever been doing one thing and suddenly remembered something else you should do and immediately went and did another thing? There are often many things we want to do all at once, but +
+ for many things, quality is more important than quantity, so you don’t want to do it all at once.
