~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
🐻: tomorrow will be the first weekend of September - how was everyone’s week? Let’s all remember the 100-year old’s secret to a long life, so whenever we are unhappy think back to the happy times!
~Today’s TMI~
OP doesn’t like online classes, but something more upsetting to them is out of 9 classes, 6 classes had a change in teachers so OP was concerned and hoped they aren’t too mean
🐻: ah why would a change in teacher be concerning for the future? Who knows, maybe they+
+ might be even better! Work hard in your studies~ *joking* a change in teacher isn’t an excuse to slack off in your studies okay 😆 good luck jia you~! 💪🏻
Next OP said with the weather cooling down, they felt the autumn coming as they saw red dragonflies and also their allergies started acting up. OP asked Kun when he feels like autumn is here and said it’s easy to get sick during the changing of the seasons, so for everyone to +
+ stay healthy!
🐻: that’s right - seems like lately Japan and Korea have entered the autumn season! The highest temperatures have been about 25-26 degrees Celsius. I feel like autumn is here when I start wearing shirts and hoodies! My favorite season is hereee I’m so happy :D
~New KPOP w/ LaiLai~
🐻: LaiLai are you the chatty/talkative type?
🎵: I know we say MBTI isn’t science…but we can use it as an example haha. I’m an “I” and a very strong “I” at that…so I’m quite introverted 😆
🐻: really 😯 is Guozhen “E”? He must be
🎵: yes haha a total “E”
🎵: our “I” and “E” are total opposites 😂
🐻: I don’t feel like you’re very introverted though!
🎵: I try to be very positive/outgoing when I leave the house, but when I come home I’m like “ah…I worked so hard today” 😅
🐻: honestly though I feel like there is a science to MBTI. I didn’t really care much about it, but recently I chatted about MBTI with a friend and they told me to look up explanation videos, so after I got home I watched the video explaining my MBTI with Ten and YangYang +
+ and it was ALL correct. And you know both of them were watching and laughing at the same time like “how is it so accurate???” When the weaknesses came out they were like “how is this spot on??” 😂
[1st song: “Talk that Talk” by TWICE]
LaiLai said he always looks forward to TWICE’s comebacks/new releases. This was recommended by a listener and they gave some background! It’s a very retro and cute song and the song wants to express “tell us everything on your mind/heart”+
+ LaiLai said the melody and MV has a lot of retro vibes and how each member’s representative animal were shown in the MV + other details/Easter eggs that only fans would understand!
[2nd song: “Can’t Stop Shining” by TEMPEST]
LaiLai talked about how the rhythm/beat is really strong and how the lyrics express things like “on the count of three we have to sprint forward” and “we have to shine brightly like the sun” so they express themselves as suns that +
+ need to keep shining and maintain that brightness. The meaning is like not only themselves, but with their fans too they can approach the future shining brightly like that
[3rd song: “Better” by MAMAMOO+ ft. Big Naughty]
LaiLai talked about how this is MAMAMOO’s first subunit which consists of Solar and Moonbyul and how their name means “MAMAMOO + more” so through this subunit we can see even more styles/concepts we don’t usually see and more!
LaiLai talked about how the song is about how when you’re with someone you like, your life will become even better/more colorful~ LL said Solar and Moonbyul’s voices along with the melody will bring everyone a happy feeling while listening to this song. They wanted this song to +
+ bring some happiness to listener’s lives in times of tiredness/exhaustion~ LL mentioned how Moonbyul and Solar already had a great sister relationship within the group and will even tell everyone about the arguments they’ve had, and don’t worry about how others perceived them
[4th song: “Gasoline” by KEY]
LaiLai said when he watched the music video his jaw dropped and remained open throughout 😂 Kun said he really likes this song and talked about the heavy/strong instrumentals in the intro. LL talked about how KEY worked with KENZI on this song +
+ and also participated in writing the lyrics to express how his journey forward is explosive and passionate like gasoline, so you can feel his sense of confidence expressed throughout
They talked about the other great b-sides in the album like “G.O.A.T” which expresses the worries of adulthood like, “when we’re little we want to hurry and grow up, but once we’re grown up there’s a lot of worries we have to face”. +
+ LaiLai also recommended “I Can’t Sleep”, “Proud” and “Villain” which featured NCT’s JENO!
🐻: alright now onto the MV…we must talk about it 😆 it’s so impactful and gorgeous with a ton of scenes/sets and you can tell at soon as you see it he put a lot of thought into it
🎵: they told him not to do so many because if he does them all now, what’s in store for next time? But he was like “no we have to put them all in” 😆 Idk if anyone has seen “Love, Death & Robots” but there’s this one episode where the sorcerer(?) wears all gold with gold +
+ powder on their face and chains, which kinda reminds me of it.
🐻: he pre-released this song at SMTOWN and wore that all gold outfit from the MV! I think it was even more impactful in person
🎵: I’m getting goosebumps just hearing about it!
🐻: (the outfit) paired with his individual aura really feels like wah~ like the appearance of a king because he’s shiny all over and the lights make it even more so. The entire stage - whether it’s the choreo or the impactful vocals, KEY hyung was so impressive.
🐻: I was backstage because we’re on 1-2 stages after him
🎵: omg so much pressure 😆
🐻: right haha so we’ll be backstage watching the monitor also with our jaws dropped and after we’d genuinely applaud loudly for him
🎵: in an interview he said he didn’t know what kind of musician he was (style-wise) and just wants to express himself in his current state, which I think is a style in itself
🐻: I think KEY hyung is an artist who already has a very strong personal charisma!
New KPOP News
LaiLai said today’s news both have to do with girl groups because they’re killing it lately

🐻: our program is nearing the end today! Wishing everyone a happy weekend~ Lastly we’ll listen to this song which is JUNNY’s “Not About You”. See you Monday~ bye bye!
🐻: September is also the start of the school year for many places, so hoping in the new school year, students can meet even more friends, learn more things, and have a happy school year! :)
~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!
