~Today’s TMI~
OP said they were looking up their grades and got a scholarship. They said they were supposed to get 2nd place but ended up getting 3rd bc their classmates were really impressive as well and didn’t slack off even during virtual classes and OP admired that +

+ they also asked Kun if he had any award experiences when he was little
🐻: when I was little I think I entered more competitions like singing, speech, etc. I got a lot of awards hehe mostly 1st place! :D so coming here and being a DJ I do have some experience since I was also +

+ the president of the broadcast club in school :) haha kidding~ Also, after I graduated from university I received the highest award in school which was for excellent graduates so I’m really honored and happy! 😊

~My Personal Playlist~
[1st song: “Bravo, My Life!” by Eric Nam]
OP said they haven’t been doing great lately as there has been a conflict and widening divide at work. OP asked kun if he’s every doubted his decisions too and said this song brings them warmth and healing

🐻: ah for me I’ve never doubted or regretted my decisions. Whatever I decide I need to do it well - that’s the right way to do it! If you spend time doubting yourself, it’d be better used working hard to make yourself better. Don’t doubt yourself, believe in yourself! jia you~💪🏻

~Indie Paradise w/ Chuyuan~
🏝: long time no see!
🐻: well we just met yesterday 😂 (T/N: joking bc they pre-recorded this yesterday so they saw each other like 5 mins ago)
🐻: how as ur short holiday?
🏝: not bad! Spent it with family and we went hiking~

🏝: my kid just learned how to walk so we took him hiking
🐻: wait what- did you carry him 😂
🏝: yes LOL to let him experience the scenery~

Today’s featured artist is “92914”
Chuyuan explained how this is a male duo and how everyone was curious about the numbers trying to guess what it meant. Turns out, 92914 is the address of their first work space so it was to remember where they first started

Chuyuan said their music style is RnB and the artists like nature, so a lot of their songs feature topics like sunset, moonlight, etc.
🐻: ahh I really like nature/natural topics like this too!

[1st song: “Sunset”]
Chuyuan said this song from the album (both named “Sunset”) gives everyone very warm vibes

Now playing “Sunset” by 92914

🐻: when was the latest sunset you’ve seen, chuyuan?
🏝: I…can’t remember LOL I remember the latest sunrise though ahaha I sent a friend to the airport at like 4am, so when I came back between 4-5am I saw the sunrise from the ocean

🐻: I saw a really pretty sunset recently from the sky! When I was skydiving, I specifically booked pretty much the last plane of the day right before the sun went down just to see the sunset. It was sooo beautiful~ As soon as I opened my parachute it was a wave of golden turned+

+to pink in front of me~ I was really so touched by that sight! During this mid-autumn festival break I went skydiving 2 days in a row haha from the morning to evening!

[2nd song: “Moonlight”]
They were talking about how the album cover is an oil painting of the sea & horizon and Kun said he really likes it. Chuyuan said it captures the vibes of the song well
🐻: I really love oil paintings like this - of the sea, sky, etc. I really like them~

[3rd: “Koh”]
Chuyuan said this song is really suitable to listen to while traveling and said these artists seem to like using oil paintings as their album covers as this one is of a field, house and other greenery
🐻: because you said their album covers are all oil paintings +

+ I opened their profile and you’re right! All sorts of oil paintings~ The oil painting cover for “Moonlight” is a purple sea with moonlight feelings ahhh I really like it!

Now playing “Koh” by 92914

Kun zoomed in on the album cover oil painting and discovered there were 5 little kids in the painting that looked like they’re from different ethnicities/backgrounds, so he said it looked like “the world is one family” 🥺 Chuyuan said even he didn’t look in that much detail yet

[4th song: “Dry Flower” by SURL]
A listener recommended this song because they discovered it and thought it sounded nice. OP said the song is a bit sad and chuyuan later added that it’s about the empty feelings after rejection like dried flowers.

🐻: our time with indie paradise today is about up! You worked hard today Chuyuan~ Lastly, we’ll listen to SURL’s “Dry Flower”. See you next time~ bye bye!
