~opening~
Opening script was saying if opportunity comes to you, don’t hesitate and take that first step! Kun also said when people say you can do it, it’s easy to find all sort of excuses to say you can’t, so it’s good to put yourself in someone else’s perspective for a change!
~Today’s TMI~
OP said the bathroom is their favorite place to sing bc they think it sounds the best. Their voice was too loud and someone told them to quiet down so OP said sorry and wanted to bury themselves in a hole bc of how embarrassed they felt :’))
🐻: yea seems like a bathroom can make sound travel quite far! You might think it’s just contained in a room, but vents could potentially make your voice travel to someone else’s room 😆 I like singing in the bathroom too, but I’m also afraid of complaints 😅
~Free Talk Mondays w/ Guozhen~
Guozhen was saying “long time no see” to Kun even though it had been less than 24 hours 😭 because they prerecorded today’s episode last Tuesday due to Kun’s smtown schedules
🐻: right now, I’m probably still elsewhere and not at the radio 😆
🐻: guozhen you like singing right?
🤓: I think it’s okay haha like when I was little…
🐻: I heard when you were recording for our quiz show questions you passionately sang for 2 hrs 😂
🤓: who exposed this?? 😂 I’m the type who doesn’t sing well but likes to sing haha
🐻: Guozhen didn’t you help record some- wait can I say this?
🤓: yes yes 😂
🐻: you helped record some children’s songs right?
🤓: yes LOL because my voice is naturally sweeter/nicer- right children? *presumably Caoli jie’s screams from outside* +
+ LMAO I’m already hearing Caoli jie’s screams 😂
🐻: her expression is already all twisted up 😆
Today they were supposed to talk about listeners’ “lost and found stories” but because they had to pre-record so early, they’ll keep talking about the rain day activities topic
OP said on rainy days they really like drawing on rainy days in front of the large window in their room and said sometimes 1 or 2 wet birds fly by. The sound of rain paired with music OP likes while drawing brings them happiness on rainy days
🐻: is this listener an artist? :D
Guozhen said he’s never seen a bird on rainy days and Kun said there are some hiding from the rain on windowsills, holes etc. but that most feathers should be waterproof so they just need to shake off the water. Kun said he’s seen the same for chicken feathers and guozhen +
+ said ducks will use their bills to put the oils from their butt/body onto their feathers to make it waterproof and that’s why their butts are more fatty(?) 😭 Kun didn’t know this fact so this was a new thing for him to learn lol
Guozhen said when it’s drizzling he doesn’t use an umbrella and likes it and Kun said he doesn’t use an umbrella even when it’s raining hard 😭
🐻: on rainy days if you get rained on, then take a hot bath, then make a hot cup of tea/coffee, wah~ feels so good
Next OP said they really don’t like rainy days because when they have to go to school their shoes will get wet, can’t do PE classes to de-stress, clothes don’t dry, and their mood will be stuffy just like the rainy day. However, if it’s a break/holiday, they like to +
+ open the curtains, sit on the window sill, listen to music, and relax and after it rains, they like to go out and take a walk. OP said when “Rain Day” was first announced they thought it was a ballad but turns out it was like the refreshing feeling after the rain and uplifting
🐻: When I was writing this song (Rain Day), personally I’m someone who doesn’t like the lethargic feeling you get after a rainy day and was like “Why can’t we be happy on rainy days?” So everyone, you don’t need to only listen to this song on rainy days! You can listen to it +
+ when you’re on vacation, driving, etc. :D
🤓: That reminds me haha it definitely wasn’t planned, but after our program last week, it started raining and the temp dropped a lot
🐻: after coming to Korea I haven’t seen a single rainbow…i don’t know if it’s because I stay inside all the time 😂 It’s been a while since I’ve seen a rainbow - I remember seeing them when I was little! It was so large like a complete rainbow bridge
Next OP said before they rly like going to cafes when it rains and having a cup of coffee and playing on their phone, but now once it rains they don’t want to leave the house. A few days ago it was suddenly raining hard and OP was coincidentally listening to “Rain Day” but +
+ they were caught off guard bc they were wearing white shoes they bought to take pictures in on that vacation and it was totally covered in dirt, so because of that they rly don’t like the rain 🥲 if it wasn’t for work they’d choose to lounge around at home during rainy days
🐻: actually I have a small TMI…for a lot of people in our company, “Rain Day” has become a song that they think will make it rain every time it’s played 😂 When we were producing this song, whether it was recording or filming the MV, mastering/mixing days, etc. it would rain. +
+ the previous day would be all sunny, but the day we work on this song it would start raining LOL so a lot of staff were like “This song really brings the rain” 😆
🤓: earlier Kun said you can listen to this song while on vacation…I’d suggest listening to it on the way back 😂+
+ and not the way there hahah
🐻: sometimes I question it (the power it has to bring rain) as well 😅
Kun asked Guozhen if he’s someone who plans vacations or is spontaneous and GZ said after he gets to his destination, he’ll travel/play around freely but it’s hard to take that +
+ first step to get out of the house, but after he does and reaches his vacation destination he’ll be very free and open to whatever plans
🐻: ahh I see~ a lot of people are the spontaneous type, but if there’s no person next to them who plans out stuff…like if that person goes to Jeju Island, the 2nd day they might just want to lay around the hotel and not go out 😂 +
+ they’ll be like “ah it’s so troublesome ah I don’t wanna go out” (t/n: Kun you can say you & Chenle it’s okay we all know LOL)
🤓: sounds like my situation when I went to Jeju Island 😂 After booking the flight and hotel, Luo di (aka LaiLai I think) took care of the+
+ restaurants and places to go to
🐻: ah the one I recommended to you guys last time?
🤓: ah we didn’t get to go bc the line was too long
Kun asked if GZ encountered bad weather on his vacations and GZ said luckily they just barely missed the typhoon this time when going to Jeju
Next OP said on rainy days they love listening to “Rain Day” and said it’s such a great song they have to listen to it every day. OP likes listening to rain as they fall asleep and said sometimes gets headaches on rainy days. Guozhen was like “I have diagnosed the problem” +
+ and said that OP mentioned they like sleeping on rainy days, so if you sleep too much your head starts to hurt and kun was like “oh…makes sense 😳” and apparently everyone else outside the recording studio was nodding their heads 😂
Kun said sometimes on rainy days when you don’t have anything to do you’ll just want to lay there and do nothing. Guozhen said sometimes you’ll want to catch up on sleep, but after sleeping the whole day u might get headaches
they’re talking about headache remedies - guozhen said stretching out your muscles and Kun’s suggestion was to apply cooling oils/ointments like one with the Tiger on the packaging and said this is really good for carsickness as well
OP said they like rainy days because they like listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the roof, umbrellas, etc. so although they’re afraid rain might get into the house, they like to open the windows on rainy days to enjoy the rain sounds +
+ OP also said they listen to Rain Day recently whenever it rains
🐻: on rainy days the weather is quite humid, but it gets better after it rains
🤓: ah…is this also why we feel sleepy on rainy days?
🐻: maybe haha also driving on rainy days can be dangerous
🤓: that’s right
Kun said on rainy days in high speed situations, if you see a puddle, don’t speed through it because 1) it could be dangerous as your car could slide and 2) might affect those around you. Hope everyone can be happy and safe on rainy days!
Next week they’ll continue collecting letter submissions for “lost and found” stories~
🤓: I have stories as well! I’ll tell you next week haha you’ll be shocked 😆
🐻: you worked hard today, guozhen! For listeners, next week, but for guozhen and me next next week 😂
~opening~
🐻: those who set goals are sprinting (forward), while those who do not are wandering. Because (we) don’t know where to go, those who have goals have a sense of direction and those who do not may feel lost in a large sea w/o a compass. So, let’s all find a goal!
~opening~
🐻: Sometimes maintaining a certain distance is important - for example, when admiring a painting, maintaining a distance from the painting is the only way you can you can appreciate it in its entirety
~opening~
🐻: in life we’ll meet a lot of people, but there’s only one of ourselves, so accepting our true selves becomes very important. Accepting our imperfections is a goal we must work hard to strive for in our lives!
~opening~
🐻: For a lot of people who are living away from their hometown, the thing they miss the most is food from their hometown! It may not be anything too spectacular, but always lives in our hearts. What’s everyone’s hometown dish you miss the most?
Now playing “My Day Is Full Of You” by ZICO, WENDY

Today’s energy conservation day, so they’ve dimmed the lights in the studio for a little bit and the Q of the day is asking listeners what kind of energy conserving tips they have!
