🐻: Really long time no see everyone!! Did you miss me? Quick send in your thoughts in the comments~ I missed everyone too! Today is a special program celebrating Kun-D’s hosting (akseo) for 1 year~ send in your wishes and I’ll read some later as well! :D
🐻: Wow I’ve already hosted akdong seoul for a full year! Time passes by so quickly - who knew it’d be the 1st anniversary so quickly? It hasn’t even sunk in and suddenly this huge bow was also placed on me 😂
🐻: Is this an akdong seoul tradition? I think when I came as a special guest for Chenle’s birthday I also put a big blue bow on him haha
(T/N: kun it’s actually the same bow LOLL)
🐻: honestly I’m really thankful for all the support from our listeners as well as our PD jiejie, Caoli jiejie, and all the guests for looking after me. I’m really thankful and later when they come in I’ll say it again!
Someone said this past year they listened to akseo every day on their way home from work and it’s filled with good memories. They wish the best for the radio station and Kun!
Someone else said this year has been really happy all the way from special DJ until now and looking +
+ forward to even more special memories in the future. OP thanked KunD, LeD, and RenD for this opportunity and said their korean and chinese had improved while listening to akseo
🐻: wah~ this OP has listened to akseo since RenD! This is a very loyal listener~ Hoping you’ll +
+ keep listening to akseo in the future as well!
Another person said akseo has become something that accompanies them that they can’t live without and wished the best for them all~
Everyone’s here for Kun’s 1st Anniversary party! 🎉
Kun’s going through each guest day by day through the week
Monday - Guozhen
Tuesday - Zhuama
Wednesday - Caoli (outside)
Thursday - Chuyuan
Friday - LaiLai
Kun said Chuyuan’s bow tie matches his headband 😂
🤓: do you remember who your first episode was with?
🐻: maybe guozhen?? I started from filling in as Special DJ…
🏝: I think I met Kun that day as well (for recording)! A funny thing I remember is you filled in twice so the second time we met, we greeted and went +
+ to shake hands, but ended up holding hands (on accident) instead 😂
🐻: really thank you everyone for coming today! We’ve made lots of great memories~ Next up we’ll have a small game segment!
LMFAOOO Kun pulled out one paper randomly and it said “KunD do aegyo” and all the guests started clapping and cheering and someone said “what if there’s 20 of those in there…what if they’re all ‘KunD do aegyo’” 😂 but Zhuama said she looked earlier and some aren’t.
LaiLai said 1 hour of KunD doing aegyo
🐻: *Does aegyo* I’m embarrassed~
Everyone: Wahhhhh~
🐻: is this 1 year anniversary party to tease me today 😂
Q: What’s the hardest part of hosting a program?
🐻: when I first started, it was korean because I’d often read KR messages. I’d get the script and (teasing) you know how Caoli jie gives it to me super late right 😂 Often when I come to record at 7pm I don’t get it until 6:30pm+
+ so on the way here I’d read the script over a few times, but back then my skills weren’t that strong yet
🤓: but thinking back, KunD didn’t have any major slip ups when recording (everyone agrees)
🐻: I read over it a LOT back then, but now I can do with just reading over once!
Chuyuan picked one that also says “KunD do aegyo” LMAO and kun was like “SEE I TOLD YOU!! THAT DOESN’T COUNT PICK ANOTHER” 😂
Zhuama and LaiLai also pulled “KunD do aegyo” I can’t lskdfjalskdjfd LaiLai told him to do aegyo 3-set 😂 Kun was like “I don’t know how to do aegyo why do you always keep asking me to 😭😂”
He did it anyway and Kun said he feels like a fool 😂
OP thanked kun and akseo staff for taking care of him is a new fan and said even though it’s only been 3 months they’ve listened to akseo while drawing every night and said viewable is their happy time every week
🐻: mostly, thanks to all our guests and staff!
🤓: noo it’s thanks to our listeners so we can have interesting programs!
🐻: I’ve realized the messages and comments our listeners leave us are always really fun and interesting - that’s also something I’m thankful for! Thank u everyone for tuning in~ hoping you will all +
+ continued with akdong seoul!
OP said hearing Kun’s voice every day after work is their healing time and thanked kun and akseo for the feeling the little bits of happiness everyday
🐻: the biggest takeaway I’ve gained from Akdong Seoul this year is all the friends I’ve made here as well as improving my korean haha. I’ve said it ever since I’ve done the program with chenle, but now I feel like it’s improved even more! What about everyone else?
🎵: becoming more confident! Talking for 1 hr is not an easy thing haha especially introducing music. At first, PD jie & Caoli jie probably saw from outside that I was shaking 😆 so every I prepare the script I put a lot of effort into it
🐻: he does! It’s like a dissertation 😂
🤓: I feel like when I see him preparing it, for a 1 hr program I feel like it could be 6 hours
🐻: all the guests work really hard preparing the script every time!
OP said after knowing Kun all their happiness multiplied 10x so they thanked him and requested Tempest’s “Only One Day”
🐻: I don’t know if everyone else sees this, but i think the most touching part is at the beginning of each broadcast, everyone is in the comments greeting each other so throughout this program, people from all around the world have become friends. This is a really happy +
+ and touching thing for me as well!
🤓: we only come one day a week, but you can probably see this every day!
🐻: yes! I’m really happy for them~
Guozhen said ppl in the comments are crying and he said don’t be sad don’t cry 😆
🐻: in previous programs there were ones where we could chat with everyone about their worries. Reading their stories and hearing about their lives is really fresh and healing as well!
Kun sped through the script bc he said there’s a lot of messages to get through and guozhen said although they prepared small gifts for kun today, Kun’s gift to them is kuntro
Kun said he often see comments saying “Kuntro~” even when he’s not there so he’s rly grateful for+
+ everyone and hopes PD jie will continue using Kuntro (even when he’s gone)
A few more comments saying similar things thanking KunD for hosting and saying akseo is their source of happiness~ <3
Xiaojun’s audio message!
🦖: congrats to 1 year of KunD! It’s hard to maintain something for a whole year~ Really proud of our Kun Ge, our leader is the best! Hope everyone can support kun and listen to akseo every night at 9pm~
YangYang’s audio message!
🐑: yo yo hello akseo listeners! I’m WayV’s YangYang double yang aka YangMoney! Do you still remember our month together? I really miss everyone~ First of all, congrats to Kun for hosting akseo for 1 year! Time goes by so fast, I’m sure everyone has +
+ gotten great memories! Wishing everyone stays healthy and happy bye bye~
🐻: wah these 2…not bad! 😆 I’m really touched~ Earlier on the way here I called my manager to ask him something else related to akseo but he was like “oh u mean the messages the members recorded for you”
+ so he spoiled it ldkfjsldkjf and he kept telling me about it LOL either way I’m really thankful for them. YangYang filled in for me once too and Xiaojun has come quite a few times as a guest as well! Hoping they can come again more in the future~
OP said they haven’t tuned in for a while bc they were busy but are grateful to be able to hear Kun’s voice every night. They’re looking forward to meeting kun soon (OP is from Indonesia)
🐻: that’s right! We’re going next week for a performance and attending an award show/ceremony(?)~ it’s the first time going to Indonesia, so I’m looking forward to it! Wait for us~
Kun asked the guests if they listen to their own show and guozhen said sometimes he does after +
+ he walks his dog bc it’s the perfect time for the replay. Chuyuan listens live since most of it is pre-recorded.
🤓: we have a lot of lives on Monday but even though it’s stressful he feels happy and healed after coming here
🐻: me too!
🐻: some listens said they’ll set alarms to remind them to tune into akdong seoul, so I’m really grateful to them!
Kun said a lot of listeners will tune in to learn korean and mandarin and GZ mentioned listeners translating to different languages and Kun said he’s rly thankful
🐻: I’m really thankful for those who take the initiative and volunteer to do translations for akseo! Because of you all, Akdong Seoul can become even more global and even more people can hear it
🎵: international~
(T/N: 🥹🥹🥹🫶🏻)
T/N: There’s too many messages to translate them all 😭 but they’re all similar lovely sentiments thanking KunD and akseo staff and guests
Someone asked Kun if he rewatched his first akseo episode and Kun said he hasn’t tried it before, but can give it a try. Guozhen said he can hide under the covers and listen to it
🐻: I’ll go home and try to find and review it 😂
Chuyuan was talking about how PD/Caoli jie always write some really deep questions into his script that he can’t answer LOL
🐻: right LOL chuyuan is introducing indie songs but they’ll put in questions like “Chuyuan ge, how do you feel about the world” 😂
Guozhen and LaiLai said their questions are all normal like “do you like beef noodles” while Chuyuan gets all the deep introspective questions kdfljsdkdf
🐻: our time passed by too quickly today!
They read some more live comments all congratulating and thanking kun & askeo. Listeners from all over the world~ There was also another comment that mentioned rain day and they were like “ah yes how could it not be mentioned!”
🐻: 1 year goes by so quickly, 1 hour goes by quickly as well. Thank you everyone for coming today to attend my 1 year party!! Hoping everyone can continue their journey with akseo. See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
(T/N: I’m not actually sure if today is the regular Thursday program, but we shall see :))
~Intro~
Kun was talking about how in cartoons at the end sometimes there’s the iconic phrase “Do you believe in the power of light?” Those who have light within are filled with +
+ positive energy and hopes everyone will become someone filled with light within~
~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
🐻: 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!
