~Today’s TMI~
OP finally found a tutor job in seoul! they said their mom suddenly got sick this month and their dad talked to them on the phone for a while on the phone and OP decided to find a job to fund their own living expenses and lessen the burden back home +
+ this is OP’s first job in seoul and hopes their mom’s health will get better soon
🐻: you’ve grown up! Very filial~ KunD here wishes your mom will get better soon and hoping you’ll gain more and more life experience (through this job)!
~My Personal Playlist~
[1st song: “comethru” by Jeremy Zucker]
OP said they never get tired of this song and have listened to it since it was released. Kun said he’ll recommend a song he won’t get tired of listening to either whether it’s the demo or final ver, eng/chi ver, etc.+
🐻: can everyone guess what it is? Ah yes it’s WayV Kun & Xiaojun’s “Back To You”! Hahaha I recommend this song to everyone! Those who haven’t heard it can give it a listen~ 😄
[2nd song: “Goodbye Summer” by f(x), D.O.]
OP wants to say a proper goodbye to summer, so they recommended this song. OP said the summer was quite hot and that cooler autumn days are waiting for us. Kun said Seoul’s summer wasn’t that hot, but they had a lot of rainy days
[3rd song: “We’re Getting Older” by Caleb Hearn]
OP said Kun’s recommended songs/artists are similar tastes to their own so they wanted to recommend this song and said this artists often writes songs about every day stories with deep lyrics and slower melodies that make you+
+ feel relaxed. This song talks about the relationship between two people, missed opportunities, lessons learned from young love, etc. OP said although part of them wishes they could stay young and never grow old, they know they have to wake up and time doesn’t stop moving +
+ so they have to grow along with it as well
🐻: although I don’t know this singer- well maybe I will after hearing their song, but listening to your introduction I think a really important thing about lyrics is the empathy it has. For me, a lot of songs I like have lyrics +
+ that help you get easily immersed and pulled into the song. I think those are great lyrics and singers. Looking forward to this song you recommended me! If I have the chance I’ll recommend more songs to everyone as well~
~Indie Paradise w/ Chuyuan~
🐻: chuyuan ge do you have street food stalls you like to eat at?
🏝: of course! There’s this beef noodle stall in my hometown that I like~
🐻: ahhh I like eating beef rice noodles :D
🏝: you gotta get them from the food stalls to get that ~taste~
🐻: bbq is another thing you gotta get at street food stalls! The ones you get in restaurants just don’t taste the same. In Korea street food stalls, I like eating Bungeo-ppang (붕어빵) (t/n: aka fish/carp bread) the most! The bread shaped like fish with red bean paste inside 😋
🏝: for korean street food, I like eating sundae (blood sausage), tteokbokki, etc. things like that!
🐻: an that’s right esp in the winter drinking some eomuk tang (fish cake soup) is a great feeling~
Today’s featured artist is DamSoNeGongBang (담소네공방)! Chuyuan talked about how this is a female duo group - Kim Damso is in charge of the piano and composing and Park Yeon is in charge of the singing/performing
[1st song: “Why do they” by DamSoNeGongBang]
Chuyuan said the lyrics are talking about how in life sometimes we chase the “shiny” people, but we also need to believe that maybe the person you have now isn’t shiny, but if they give you their genuine heart/feelings they’ll +
[2nd song: “Fall winds” by damsonegongbang]
Chuyuan talked about how they wrote this during the autumn season~ He chose this song because we’re in the seasonal transition right now and this song can help us get through difficult times/transitions when we listen to it
Kun asked Chuyuan if he liked autumn and what he liked most
🏝: first of all, the weather cools down! Also, personally I like watching leaves fall and things like that
🐻: ah like you’ll go hiking and see the red/yellow leaves~
[3rd song: “Love to me” by Damsonegongbang]
Chuyuan said the gentle guitar paired with their gentle voices is a song that makes him feel nostalgic as the song seemingly asks you “to you, what is the feeling of love?” Chuyuan posed the question “how do you feel about love?” to us+
+ and told us to leave comments/messages with our answers 😆
[4th song: “Girl’s Story”]
[5th song: “Swing”]
Chuyuan said he chose the 4th song bc the intro pulled him in and the melody is quite nostalgic pulling you back to your school days and the 5th song is a similar feeling as well suitable to end today’s program with~
🐻: our program is nearing the end today! Thank you chuyuan ge for being our guest~ You worked hard see you next week! Lastly, we’ll listen to these songs Damsonegongbang. See you next time~ bye bye!
~opening~
🐻: There’s this video where they interviewed a 100(+) year old and asked them what the secret to a long life was. They smiled said the secret to a long life is to live happily everyday. Whether you’re happy or not, a day passes, so why not spend each day happily? ☺️
Now playing “RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)” by Billlie
~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~
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!
~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!
