- This week on "Not Your Average Train Girls." - Imagine it being your birthday, but it's Valentine's Day, but then your girl left you, and then it's your birthday and Valentine's Day. But your girl left you on your birthday, which is also Valentine's Day, on your birthday, which is Valentine's Day. - Oh my God. - CB, one of the main characters in their own rom-com, in "Good So Bad." Beckyan wants us to take a bite out of him, which we'll gladly do. An R&B king, Jay Hyun, got us feeling smoking hot with his solo debut, "Smoke." Check it out. - What's up, you guys? - It's "Not Your Average Train Girls." Back with another two weeks of K-Pop Nissish, a girl cat. I'm sorry we weren't here last weekend. I almost died. - Yeah. - So apologies. J-Pop was on my mind. However, I was getting another human put into me. (laughing) - Yep. - Yep. - Anyway. - We love blood transfusions. - Woo hoo. I'm not dead though. I know some of you will be sad to hear that, but. - Damn. I am here and we are starting another week. It's your girl, Kat, by the way. Boy, next door, wow, we love them. Block B also, wow, love them. It's been a great time for me. Thanks, Ziko. You're the best. (laughing) - Hello, everyone. It's Terika. I didn't almost die, but I was on my sick bed. The children got me yet again. So I was in a night quilt coma for like four days. But I am better. But yeah, like Kat said, Block B, it's a great time to be a K-Pop hack. Like, Block B is supposed to come back. And to, oh, and then B-A-P. - Yeah. - And then I know like it's my HAG HAG status, but they're HAGs, like Exo's planning a world tour. - Yeah. - Like. - Love that. - It's just great. - And hello, everybody. This is Carolina. I'm also on the same boat. I saw that Block B performance and could not believe it, that it's all of them. And they, they're, I don't even know what show that was. All I know is that I saw them perform. And I was like, holy shit. - Is he go show? - Yeah. So I was like, holy crap. Never thought this was gonna happen ever again, but we're here. And very exciting. - We're here and tail is them tattoos. - Woo, girl. - He is a little petite prince. - I love him so much. - I'm sorry, but I thought you meant to. And I was like, hello? - Oh, no, Block B. - Block B. The real will tail that only, the OG tail. - The only one that is this, right? - It took me a minute. It took me a second, anyway. Anyway, beautiful tattooed man, my petite prince. - He looks great. - He looks great. - He looks so good. And the thing is, I already saw edits because he was like, you know, singing his little heart out. And then- - Yes he does. - And then exactly, but then it switches to him just like walking when he had all his tattoos out and everything. And I'm like, oh yeah. The editing girlies of TikTok are all up on that already. - He's literally that- - Cut my long fit to his business. This is my last resort. I'm speaking it like a Halloween. - He's so cute. - He's just, he's literally a pocket prince. He's just a tiny little, he's a party pocket. He's a tiny little man. - He's so tiny. - With a big old voice and some tattoos. - Yep. - Just wanted him to- - He's all too old now. - I think it was so weird to see like that journey on his Instagram. - I know. - It's like, yeah, it was wild. I was like, wow, love this for me. - I know it looks great. - Oh my God. I love you. - Yes. - Every drama that he's in, everything, I'm like. - P.O. looks great. - She's so great. - Yukon looked- - Mm-hmm. - I am. - Obviously, Yuziko. And he did his. - I mean, Yuziko's like, I haven't seen him a lot lately. - Yeah. - Yuziko's like it. - I just love seeing the, hey guys. - Hi ladies. - Hi ladies. Like, yes! It was so fun. - Yeah, it was so fun to watch. - It was so fun to watch. We'll talk about all the hags in K-pop. - All right. - Listen. - Oh, that's busy. (laughing) We're thriving, okay? This is great. All of our third gen, second gen. - They're all coming back. - They're all coming back. - They're all coming back. - Finally, we need a refresher in K-pop. God damn. Let me tell you, when I was, we'll talk about the comebacks later, but when I was going through them bleachers, they were blending together. I said, I told you, I was just like, I don't, what is happening? It's like all club music. And my ass is too old to be in a club, so this is not benefit me. - Yeah. (laughing) - Not me, I'll be in my car like it's a club. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. We were listening to the lesser fame song. And I'm like, yeah, this is great. And cats like, I freaking hate this. Oh my God, see? Let's see. Like, no, it gets good. Like I said, like, we'll talk about comebacks later. But if I was in my, like, if I was like in my college years, like if I was like at high school, like if I had just freshly turned, you know, 18, and it's my first time I could be legally out on 6th Street at the bars and the clubs. And I hear like that different. Yeah, I would be fucking it up. I would be like, yes, yes, yes, yes. But-- - We're at the gay club with all your besties. - That's the one I go to a regular club 'cause all the men are nasty. - Exactly. - Exactly. Like, I'll be having the time of my life. I'm not saying this song is bad. It's just that it serves no purpose for me. Like, I'm not gonna be in my, like, car or my room or in the shower, like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. - What? (laughing) - Like, I don't know. - Let me tell you about how I almost fell the other day in the blue air. (laughing) We're not trying to do that. We're over. I didn't believe that there were covers there. - Apparently, they're proving the point. - I still live in life on the edge. It's been a whole week since I was in the hospital and I still feel like I've been hit by a truck. Okay, we're not recovering as it has to be used. - That's true, that's true, what? - Jericho was out for four days with children germs. - That's true. - Oh yeah, but those are potent, okay? Like, those are the potions there. - Those are strong. - But they're hitting us like, these conditions are hitting us like the elderly at the homes, okay? We're not as young as we used to be anymore, okay? - Oh my God. - I'm not, no one's the best, I'm nanny. (laughing) - I cannot get it. - I mean, it's about to be fall. Like, I need some cheer vibes over there. I need some, like, I'm sipping on a matcha. I got my candle going and I'm grading papers. Like, I need some R&B, I don't need nothing. (laughing) (mumbling) - I'm sorry then, but anyways, we'll talk a little bit later for ya, but Kim J. June and Junsu are holding their 20th anniversary, so they're gonna be holding a concert for that. - Love that. - And I'm just, listen, was I ever a fan of their group and their things? - No, but am I supporting them? No, hell yeah, go out and do your concert. - Yay! - Do it for all of us. - Do it for all the hags that can't move like we used to. - Yeah, but we will, but you know, they'll be there just not moving. - Not moving. (laughing) - And then Ren is enlisting coming up, I think late mid September, sad times. And what's his name? Dejan from Wei is also enlisting. - Oh, I'm just saying, it's like we're losing them once. - I feel like, you know how, there's like a signature song when people graduate high school in America, like that vitamin C song. I feel like, we need to get one of those for enlisting. When I don't enlist. And we just play it. - You are. (laughing) - When you do that, you show their pictures and stuff, it makes them feel like they're dead. (laughing) - I feel like a memorial. - Yeah, literally, literally. - Thank you. - Right? - Yeah, it has to be that way. (laughing) - And it's just like their picture is slow. - And we just play it and we'll be like, okay, everybody, it's time for like, they did back in the day on the radio. - Yeah. - It's time for enlistment. (laughing) - You are, right? (laughing) - It feels very like, what's it called? Oh my God, Hunger Games. (laughing) Like, show me, be like, do it, do it, do it. - Go straight and go off and, you know, like, do it. - Ooh, ooh. - It's where we're going now. - Ren is gone, Ren from District 7. (laughing) - We could do that. - Yeah. - And put their gin, so it's like, whatever, from gin three. (laughing) - It's exactly in the district. (laughing) - Oh my God, but yeah, so that's been happening, but also, it's funny that we were all sick and dying and then these news dropped. So, we've been wanting to talk about this as it happened, and, you know. - My fist is curled in anger. - We're so mad. Tale of NCT. - Bitch. - Exactly. That bitch ass motherfucker. - That, so he was accused of sexual abuse. - Sexual abuse, yeah. Which, before we start trigger warning for anybody that does not want to listen to these allegations and issues, please skip and look at our, we have our timestamps down in the description, and you can skip that to something happier. Thank you. - To our comeback. - Woo hoo. But you bitch ass motherfucker. I hope you get hit by a bus and burn. I hope you burn. Burn, I tell you burn. - I'm, I don't even like, the news dropped. - Burn. - I tell you how I woke up and cat opened my door and I'm like, I am awake, just let me compose myself. And she says, tale was abusing. I like 12 year old, I was like, what? I just woke up and I was like, what did you say? And what now? What just happened? - So the initial report was like, she was underage. - Yes. - He's been doing this for six years. She's finally an adult. And everybody was like, what the fuck is going on? - Yeah. And that's what, through everything, that was like the most annoying part because like I woke up 'cause my friend had really, she had sent it to me and it was like 3 a.m. And so I didn't see it until I woke up for work. And I was like, what? And then I dropped it in all my other friend group chat and it just simply said that like, it was a statement from SM, they're just like due to, you know, these allegations and all this after investigation. Like he is no longer a part of the group. And we were like, this is how you know that it's a hundred percent factual because it wasn't like we're investigating these charges. Blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like he no longer exists. And like after that, it was just like quick and steady. Like all of his pictures were taking down, all of the boys followed him off a social media. Like it was like boom, boom, boom. So you know it was like a thing. And in the midst of that, like a couple hours later, I'm at work and now people are just like, it was a 12 year old, it was, and I'm just like, where are y'all pulling this out from? Like who, and that's the only thing that was the most frustrating part of this whole situation is because the poor victim, we know for sure it was this one girl, but it might be more. Like they can't even like- - There's more than one. - No one knows, no one knows right now, but they specifically is just one person right now. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And like that was the thing. Like instead of like hearing her story and just thinking like, you know, like he's discussing and like giving her like the piece that she needs, like all these rumors ran around and then it started becoming like this fan war and this fight for like, how can we make this group as a whole seem disgusting? And I'm just like, it's not even about that. It's about her and how apparently she had been trying to drop hints about this for months. - Oh yeah, because she was like writing on his comments and everything. - Yeah, which is like, I can't even imagine like how she was feeling and like the hurt that was happening to her. You know what I mean? Like trying to like get her story out without being attacked. Like she was trying to drop hints without blatantly saying it because she knew that there will be people be like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. So like the fact that they took, like instead of focusing on her, they took this and they started having all these rumors and everyone's just like, where are y'all getting this from? Just because like, I don't know, girl group lover 66 says like, oh yeah, it was a 12 year old and everyone's like, yeah. So I am really glad that the police were just like, yo, this is what's going on. We're doing our best to protect the victim and like, this is the fact. So I'm glad they were very candid and open with what was happening because usually in these times, like it's just so, they don't say anything. And it's so much like he says she's dating back and forth and then things get muddied and you don't know what's really happening. So I'm glad that the police are actually starting to be like, no, like this is really what this disgusting human being has been doing and he's, it's just so disappointing. - So disappointing. - It's crazy because so apparently he was also like, you know, had her phone hacked, like everything, every time she tried to do something, like he would delete it, like he would harass her for like pictures and things like that. And like even at one point, like threatened her mom. And it was just crazy to think that this person that's like seemingly like whatever in this group, you know what I mean? Like just a quiet man or whatever. And this was what happening like behind the scenes. Like now imagine like you as a fan like seeing that, but then like also you, I think about just the members themselves like they shared so much with this person. So I can't even imagine because even the day, didn't you say that John Woo, like he was in the SM building, posted a selfie like, oh, we're going to a meeting. I wonder what it's about. And then it was like, that's the day that the news dropped or something like that. - Yeah. And then like dreams on tour. And so you can see like the airport pictures of like all of them and like Mark and Hetchum are like going through it. Especially if they were super close, like it's just, there's so many people like the act of one disgusting human being has just like hurt so many people. Like from this poor girl who has to like go through this alone and then have her family threatened to like, now you're members, now they're hurt because like, y'all like that's like your brother, like your best friend. And like you just, you'd never would think that that they would be capable of doing something like that. So you have that hurt plus the hurt of like, well, them and people are going to start thinking that I'm that way because I was so closely associated with him. And then you have the hurt of like the fans and then the hurt of like the K-pop community as a whole. And then just the hurt of like being a woman and being a woman in Korea. Like, like all this shit is going on over there. And for them, it's just like, that's one extra thing to pile on like, well, that's another city like shitty like thing that's happening and it's like, it's a lot. - And it just makes you second guess everything. - Yeah. - I know what we say like, we don't know these people but it makes you literally second guess everything. Like who is genuine? Like who, like being a female K-pop fan is so like, it feels disingenuous. - Exactly. - 'Cause like, we don't know anybody. - It's just, it's something that it's like you never, I don't know, it's hard just as a woman to enjoy anything without there being a stigma around it in general. So for it, so for you to be in a safe space and then it to be like, well, these idols are actively doing these things to women. And you're just like, well, fuck. Like, what's the, it's face is safe. - Yeah. - Like what can I do? - It just sucks because like, now you have this whole, like she said, it's hard to enjoy anything as a woman because anytime you enjoy something, it's just like, oh, that's stupid, all that's dumb. Like, you little girl, like say blah, blah, blah. So like when you find something then you're just kind of like blocking out all that noise and you're like actually enjoying something. It sucks too because now things like this happen and not only do you feel like, wow, like, how could like someone that I like looked up to and enjoyed their music, like how could they do this? But then it sucks too because then you have those people like, I told you, see, you over here liking that K-pop stuff and you're collecting all his stuff and this is how it is and you shouldn't know, oh, parasocial relationships. And I'm just like, that's not even the point. Like the point is like, no one goes in like expecting anyone to be discussing like that. Like the parasocial relationship or not, like you know when it's okay that you don't have that mind frame that like everyone is shitty. Like it's okay that you go in thinking that someone is a good person, you know what I mean? Like no one just goes through saying like, hey, I like this song or like I like this actor or even I like this sport, but you know what? Maybe I shouldn't because I'm pretty sure everyone that plays this sport are terrible human beings and no one goes in with that negative mindset. So to like bash people who like are hurting and they're just like, well, I can't believe he would do this and to go in with that like, well, you don't really know these people and then there you go putting all your time and effort into them and it's kind of like, that doesn't make sense. Like no one goes in thinking that automatically someone is capable of that, you know what I mean? That shouldn't be the mindset and that sucks because like that, you know what I mean? Like it just, it's all around like, yeah. - Like it sucks too for like, just as a fan itself, it's like, 'cause I saw a lot of people like going after like people that were fans of him and being like, like look at what happens for you, like, you supporting this horrible man. And it's just like, you can't come for the fan. Like we had no idea. Like, you know, those fans had no idea that this was the actual, like, who they-- - Yeah, like what he was doing, you know, he was doing. So it's just like, it's not fair for people that were just liking somebody, you know, talent and whatever, or you can't bash them for it. They had no clue like what was going on behind the scenes. - Same with the members. Like everyone was like, oh, they had to have known. Like I know they're supported him. They now that it's out, they want to act like, they don't like that, like what? Like, no. - I don't think so. Like even girl, my, the way I know none of them knew is the fact that TY unfollowed ever. He said, I'm unfollowing all you bitches until I figure out what the fuck is going on here. - Yeah, 'cause he was blindsided. He was in the Navy and like, nobody told him anything until the news broke probably. - Yeah. - And he was like, who the, what do you mean? - You said unfollow all you bitches until I-- - And can you imagine too, 'cause apparently the investigation had been going, and I understand SM, like the investigation had been going on since June, and SM was probably doing what they're supposed to do as a company, and they're looking into the claims, and they probably, they found something that was like, oh. Oh, you're disgusting for real. And they like, hurry, and they did their big one. They were like, bye. No longer part of the group, but you know that they told, they didn't tell the members, you know, they kept that hush-hush. So like, just being in the position of being around someone that you think is your brother, you've gone through all these like ups and downs, and you've grown with a career, and like grown in life with them, and you guys are promoting your comeback, and everyone's excited because it's like, everyone thought we were gonna flop, 'cause our leader is gone, but we're having so much fun, and then all of a sudden, like, like they said, Jungkook posted something like, oh, yeah! And next thing you know, it's like, well, shit. - Stop, yeah. - There's this TikTok creator, his name is Bert, and he made a valid point about people saying, like, there's no way they couldn't have known. He was just like, when you're an abuser, you're only abusive towards the people you're being abusive to. Like, your colleagues and your friends, and mostly your family, like, you need them to be your ally. So you're gonna be extra sugary sweet to them, because as soon as the person that's being abused comes up and says, hey, he's abusing me, or she's abusing me, the people around them are gonna be like, no, like, they're great. They're right. - They're right, yeah. - They're not, so he's not gonna go around, like, advertising to his closest friends, like, yeah, I'm a shitty person, but still be my friend. Like, obviously, he's not gonna act like that towards them, especially when you have the gross people who are only abusive or, like, aggressive towards women. Like, all of his colleagues are men. So, like, usually people like that are, you know, weak little pussies, and so he's probably, he's never gonna step to a man like that. He feels like he could only control certain, like, women, or whatever. - Exactly. - So, of course, he's not bringing that energy to them, and, like, Burt made a good point. He was like, I was in an abusive relationship for years, but my boyfriend, he volunteered at, like, of animal shelters and shit, and he did charity work, and he was this and this at his job, and everyone loved him, but he would come home and, like, be verbally and physically abusive to me, and, like, until I started telling people, they started seeing the signs, then they were like, oh my God. And so, he was like, of course people, they're not gonna reveal that ugly side to their closest people, 'cause they need those people to be on their side when it finally does. - When shit, yeah, when shit hit his face. - Yeah, and I'm just like, so I don't think it's fair to the victim to be putting all of this into fan wars. Like, at the end of the day, it's not about if you have always hated NCT, or you love them, like, it's not about that. It's about getting justice for her, and all of the other women who, you know, felt like that has happened to them, and they felt like they couldn't come out, and they're dealing with that, and, like, it shouldn't be about, like, oh, well, that means they're shitty, too, and I'm gonna boycott them, and I'm like, that has nothing to do with anything. - Also, when the news of this broke, you could go back and notice that, like, Taylor wasn't even in a lot of the promotions for the comeback, like, he was very hidden from what I saw, so I think that SM, kind of, like, hey, there's an investigation, you need to just not be involved in doing it, yeah. - Take a bet. - Yeah, yeah. I'm honestly wondering if they used his accident as a way to kind of, that just was kind of, like, perfect timing, like, his little motorcycle accident was just perfect timing in the sense that they were already investigating him, and now it's kind of like, we can kind of keep you out of the spotlight, or out of group activities, because you're, quote, unquote, hurt, and not because we're investigating you for this, and on top of that, everyone's been wondering about, like, his military status. It's probably in limbo because they were investigating him, and the military's like, hitting, we're not, yeah. The military's probably like, we're not, he's not about to enlist over here, and he's over here, no, he needs to be in jail, like, not in the military. - Not only that, but somebody was talking, and she was like, she was an NCT fan, and she's like, no wonder all this bad shit always happens to tail. - It's true, though. Like, it's just been continuous karma for him, his acting, his injuries, it's just bam, bam, bam. - Like, he's not being super, super popular, like, out there, and things like that. She was like, damn, he's just been getting hit. His ass beat by karma this whole time. - And now, finally, it got him good, got him good. - And good, like, I'm very, like, glad that the victim was able to-- - And I hope you get all the justice you deserve, my girl, and I also hope he burns, and I hope any other victims, you probably won't listen to this podcast, but if you have been victimized by that bitch, come forward and talk about it. Let everybody know, 'cause I need him to burn. - Yes. - You hear me burn? - Little bitch, when I fucking, I can't, I just like-- - Burn, like, if I ever saw that man, I would punch him straight into the fucking face. - And it's just, like, the instant, like, when I read it, it was shock, and then it was anger. Like, it wasn't like, oh my God, like, there was no sadness that they, like, ticked him out. It was instant, like, I, oh my God. Like, I'm just thinking about her, like, this poor girl, and I'm just like, I hope that she gets all the good things and peace in life that she deserves, because-- - Yeah, that was gross, disgusting. - Like, I know, like, I just, it makes me so mad, and like-- - So mad. - And again, like, I was telling this to Kat, it was just like, the only thing that, like, we can hope as fans is that, literally, we're not supporting somebody, that's like that, and-- - Mm-hmm. - But again, like-- - We don't know! - We don't know, and it's like such a-- - Ugh! - Such a-- - It makes my skin crawl. - Like, I have a petition, everybody. I say we throw all men in purgatory, and they have to earn their way out to our good graces. - Literally, my friend has, like, this whole theory of, like, she was like, any time there is a male born. - They need to instantly be sent to a facility, where you raise them, and you teach them how to be decent, like, decent human beings. - Yes. - And if you could see the red flags, and if they cannot live up to that, and you just see one red flag-- - Like them up. - Like, instant, instant, instant, instant jail, never getting out, rest of your life. You are not allowed to be out into the world. - Like, lock them up. - Like, lock them up. - Lock them up. - Lock them up. - Like, they need to be just sent away as young children, and then not into the real world, until they've passed this course, and we can tell, and we've done extensive psychological-- (laughing) - Not literally. - And like, training, and then now you can be released into the world. Like, be clean. - It's correct, really, like that. - Some of the things that I've just heard men say, with their whole chest, out loud, and like, with so much conviction, and I'm just like, you can't think that, right? Like, this has to be an act. This is not really how you-- - There's no way. - Yeah, this can't be real. - I'm just like, this has to be just like a prick, and they're like, "No, no, this is real, this is me." Like, Demi Lovato, okay? - Yeah. - It's fucking sucks. - It's crazy. - But that's the only thing that I could like be like, I can't, 'cause I saw so many TikToks of the girls that like, or just the fans in general that were like-- - Taking down their poster. - Taking down their stuff, and just being like, you know, money gone. Just not even that, but just trying to like, process that whole thing, I, oh, God. So I can't even imagine-- - Yeah, same. - Like, the actual victim, like, holy crap. - One of my really, really close friends, love her to death, she helped me with my class unless you love her. She, massive Teostan, like, literally collected everything, like, massive collection, had everything, and like, she was not doing so well, and not in the sense, like you said, like, "Oh, this money," or like, "Oh, no, my favorite members "out of the group," but just sitting there, like, thinking about the fact that, like, she put so much time and love and effort into this person, and it's kind of like, they are capable of doing that, like, she was going through it, and like, without any hesitation, got rid of all our stuff, like, there's no, like, what should I do, like, I'm gonna give it a few days, like, no, which is like, I can't even, and not even just because, like, ew, like, you know, some people do things for a show, but just the fact that she was just like, I physically can't even, like, look at my photo cards without, like, you know, I'm sick, like, it's-- - Yeah, yeah, basically, so yeah, so we'll see, I'm hoping that he's behind bars. - I need an NCT to re-record all their albums right now. - I need them to cool his trinkets and re-record all the tracks, all the tracks. - It sucks, too, because like, I was like, I was getting my hair braided yesterday, and like, my mom and I didn't want to sit in silence, so we were just putting on music videos, and like, of course, because of, you know, the algorithm. - The algorithm. (laughing) - It, like, all this, like, videos are coming up, and all the NCT songs, and I'm like, over here singing, and I'm like, singing, and then I get to his part, and I'm singing, like, just out of muscle memory, and then I'm just like, ah, fuck. Like, it just-- - Yeah. - You can't even enjoy the songs anymore, and it sucks, like, it's just like-- - Re-record the albums. - Re-record the albums. - Yeah, so I need y'all to hop in the booth, hop in the studio ASAP Rocky, and re-record this shit. - Me, listen. - Dew Young has waited all his life for this. - Literally. - Literally. - He's at his vocal prime, him, and Hetchun got this, okay. - They did it. - Now's the time. - Oh, hi, did y'all see the video of Dew Young crying? - Girl, what, no where? - Yeah, he wrote on Bubble how he's been, like, really struggling and needing time to, like, he wanted to, like, write a statement to the fans, and he know that we needed it, but, like, he also needed time to, like, take care of himself, and just kind of, you know, process things on his own, and so he wrote this long Bubble message about how, like, he's sorry, and he just hopes that, you know, the fans are okay, and that, you know, at least they keep supporting, like, he's, like, really grateful for everyone's support, and things like that. Well, you know, he's doing, like, his solo stuff, and so he was at his little concert, and he started singing, and all of a sudden, he just started bawling, like, ugly crying to the point where he couldn't sing, and then he, of course, he apologized for that. He was, I'm sorry for, like, the people that came out today, and I was just, like, overwhelmed with emotion, and I'm just, like, that has to suck, like, you literally grew up with this person, and, like-- - They were trainees together. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Like, idol life. - Yeah. - And you just think about, like, your family, especially, like, the ones that have sisters, like, you literally met my sister, and at one point, they were, like-- - Good. - Oh, remember, they had those stupid questions, like, "Who would you let date your sister?" And, like, and if you ever said, like, "Yeah, him!" Like, he would be, you know, like, you just, like, you let this person around your family, and into your life, and you're just, like, God, so, like, yeah, I was really sad, but he was, like, ugly crying, and then, like, headshot and Mark, and the airport hugging each other, and just-- - Yes, I can't even-- - Oh. - And we were saying that, too, because this all happened, and Jay Hyun, like, have to stop. - And, yeah. - It always happens to my boy, Jay Hyun. - Literally. - I think it always happens when he's in the middle of, like, doing his own shit, man. - Other people's mess up. - I know. Other people's messes always fuck up his shit. - But one thing I will say, I saw a clip of him in Yungji's show. - Yeah. - And he was, yeah, he was like, I-- This is, like, the most genuine I've ever been in that show, and he was, like, very thankful for that, and you could tell, like, it was, like, very much needed. I need to go watch the full thing, but I just, like-- - But, yeah, because, I mean, you're mourning. - Wow. - Like, that's the only way to put it, like, you're mourning this person. - Yep. - The worst part is you're mourning a person that's still alive. - Still alive. - Yeah. - And still around, yeah. - Yeah, that you still actively have to, like, know is there, and know what's happening, and, like, I feel like that's even worse than mourning a person that's passed, you know? You have to recreate your life with this person not in it anymore. - And especially with them, too, because it's like, how do you, because being in the spotlight, too, like, how do you grapple with, like, your best friend, your brother, or whatever, doing something like this, and then you have to, like, don't just have to process for myself, because this is more than just, like, my coworker, like, this is, like, my brother who did this, and then how do I comfort my fans, because I know they're also going through it, but then, how do I also go on with promotions and things like that, because, one, like, I feel, you know, you feel like you can't go through with that, because you don't want to paint the picture that you're just moving on from it, but then, at the end of the day, too, it's just, like, you don't want this disgusting person to have power over your choices and your career, and, like, you don't want to, like, dimmy yourself because of this person's mistakes, so it's like, you don't want, like, for example, Jay, and, like, this is a great moment for him, he finally has, like, his dream album, not dream isn't he, but, like, his dream album. - Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And, like, he gets to work with all these incredible producers, like, any face, and, like, he's making the music he loves, and everyone's, like, really receptive to it, it's such a great album, but, like, all this is happening, and, like, you don't want to show how excited you are for yourself, because there are people who are hurting, and you're hurting, but then, you also don't want someone, like, that to take away your moment. - Exactly. - You know, like, it's not fair that you can't be happy and celebrate your accomplishments because of this person's actions, so, like, I know, like, it's probably just very confusing and hard, and, like, being in that position. - Yeah, I know it's probably insanely difficult, and I can't even imagine, for her, how difficult it was to see, like, him be successful. - Everywhere, yeah. - Everywhere, and-- - And that's, like, the worst thing for me from, like, a victim mindset, like, there's no, like, end to it. He's just always just there. - Especially if he had, like, so much, like, control over her, everything. - So, I just, I can't even, like, from both ends, I just know there's so much, like, pain in her heart. - Yeah, 'cause imagine if she had friends who were fans, and, like, maybe they were his fans, and they're over here playing his music, and, like, oh my God, and, like, she probably just feels like she can't say anything, you know? - There was no, like, escape. It was just constant. - Yeah. - Like, there, there he is, like, looking over your shoulder, feeling like you're just on your phone and in this bubble, like, yeah. - But it took a lot of bravery for her to, like, still try and put those comments out there, and still, like, you know, try to reach out, and maybe, like, drop hints, quote, unquote, like, I can only imagine. I hope now that, though, like, all this is happening, and as soon as you start burning, she'll find her peace, though. - I hope so, as well. - Say the word, Queen, I'll fuck him up for you. Gladly. - Trust me, I'm pretty sure. - I'll curb stomp that midget ass motherfucker right into, "Pam!" I just, man, there's so many, like, people involved, like, the victim, I know she's probably hurting, but probably has, like, a sense of relief, now that people are finally able to see him for what he really is. - Right? - Right? - But also, like, just the years of trauma that she's been going through, nothing can erase that trauma, no matter how much justice there is, or something that can give her back that time, you know? - Yeah, it's always gonna be with her. - And I hope the boys at NCT find peace, too, 'cause, again, mourning somebody, that's always, unfortunately, gonna be a piece of your life, like-- - Like your story, like, you know what I mean? Like, the story of your group, the-- - The story of your entire life, that you were a teenager. - Yeah. - He's known G-Sung since what? He was, like, 10 years old, like, I know it's not fucking easy. - Yeah. - I just hope that, like, how Dewey did, like, they're able to kind of, like, speak on-- - I think it's gonna take some of them a lot longer. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Deweyong is very, I feel like he's, like, aggressive with emotion. Like, he wants to just tell everybody everything. - Yeah. - He wants to be transparent. So, I'm not surprised. He was the first one to, like, say something. - We'll see. - And there's no obligation for any of us to talk about it. - No, exactly. - Yeah. - I just hope that they feel like it's okay for them to do so if they would want to. You know what I mean? - I hope SM is some therapists. - Yes, heavy. - We need some psychiatrists in the SM building. - Heavy. - If they didn't have one already, they needed it. - Instantaneously. - Like, right now. - Yeah, so enough about piece of shit, man. Let's talk about great men. - You're right! (laughing) - All right, come back! - Ooh, we're starting with a spicy one. Jeyon! - You can say it's smoking. - Ooh! - Sorry. - Jeyon had his solo debut with Smoke. - Yeah. ♪ You're all I ever wanted ♪ - Biggin. He brought that big in R&B, everybody. - He really did, it's great. - He worked with Baby Face. - Yeah, he did. - Also, this song is "Black Momma Approved." - Yes! - My mom! - Yeah, she was braiding my hair. This sounds so hot, miss. She was braiding my hair and I was like, "Let's listen to Jeyon's new album." She's like, "Okay," and then I put it on and I put on a music video and we were listening to it and she said, "Who is this?" I said, "It's Jeyon from NTT." She goes, "Hmm, I like his voice." I said, "I know me too." And she was listening, she goes, "This is a nice song, that's one of them K-pop boys." (laughing) And then I told her about his music taste and how he got to work with Baby Face. It was listen to the whole album and she goes, "Yeah, I like this, I like this." So, my mom is fan of the whole album. - I'm out. - She said, "I'm a Jeyon's fan now." - Yeah. - I feel it though. - And he was cute too, so she's about it. - Listen with that face and then vocals. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And when he's like, "Smoke, calm." - Ooh, okay. - That's the point that caught her eye when she heard that she goes, "Who's this?" (laughing) - I'm telling you, I've been obsessed with this like whole album honestly, but this song, oh God, like the way that he's just like, the, "Let me take you out." Like whatever the, "Oh my goodness." It's gracious, wow. Some of y'all may be youngins that are listening to this, but before Iowa remixed it, there is a song by Invogue that goes, ♪ Who, what a man, what a man, what a man ♪ - That's Jeyon. Every time I see him, that's the song that pops in my head. - Yes. He looks, oh, he looks so fine in the music video too. Like this whole promotion, he looks great. - He looks so good and he looks so happy and he's glowing and he's just in his element doing his little army or baby face thing. And the only thing, he is, the only thing that was missing for this was some rain and a white show on his knees. - That's true. - I just love, love the music video too and the styling of it, everything, just about it. The way that he spoiled it with the meme from SpongeBob. - Yes. - Like, he said, "I'm floating, bitch." Okay? Like, oh, but his voice, like again, that, "Let me take it." Like, "Ahh, come just find out that's the part for you "for me, it's the small cause of my body." - Yep. (laughing) - For me, it's when he loves me. Like, just, ah, his voice is so nice. Like, it's just so nice. This whole album is amazing. - Oh, so good. - I absolutely love it. I, this is my favorite NCT song. - I hope, I feel that. I feel that. - My favorite NCT song. - I hope that he is so happy and so proud with this album because-- - He should be. - Thank you, exactly. - And I hope that there is instantaneous 'til you follow up. (laughing) Give me another J-Gun solo. - Yes. 'Cause wow. - I wanna Valentine's Day release. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - Baby making music. - Love that. - And then they like, bro says came out too and all I can think about was, yeah, that, but also just like when we were talking about it, we were talking about it. We were just like, imagine it being your birthday, but it's Valentine's Day, but then your girl left you and then it's your birthday and Valentine's Day. But your girl left you on your birthday, which is also Valentine's Day, on your birthday, which is Valentine's Day. - Oh my god. That's, oh my god. Can you imagine though? (laughing) - That's awful. - I hope that didn't happen. But I just know that on TikTok, my girl is just like, whoever broke his heart doing it again because it's lapped. And I'm like, ah, this is, yeah. Everything I've ever wanted of JN. ♪ Somebody else is begging you ♪ ♪ Brothers ♪ ♪ Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa ♪ Damn. - Oh my god. - Yeah, no smoke is, it's, wow. It's a great title, great title track for this album. Like a great, like way of showcasing JN as a person. Also, again, that music video. And when they did the, he had like that goo all over him or whatever. I saw the behind the scenes. - Girl, he hated every one of that. - He did. He said, why, who the fuck's out of this? First of all, second of all, I don't get hate enough. - No, but he did it. He did it for the craft. - Like a fine ass, toggle, toggle or whatever. (laughing) - And coated, the fruit thing. - The fruit thing. - The bite of them. Nice little crunching. I feel it. I'm in the same boat. He, that man, again, he's so fine. You forget how weird he is. It works. (laughing) It works. - What is it? The JN is so fine. You forget that he's weird. - That he's weird. And then Henry is so weird, you forget he's hot. - Exactly. All the time. Again, whoever did that and came up with that, you should have trademarked that shit. Because what an ideology that definitely, it works, like it is, it is, it's true. So, and for one, fine man. - To one, not back in. (groaning) - No, I was talking about him. I'm so mad because I said it's worn. I could have sworn. He said that he was gonna go on tour. And I just feel like he said that and then disappeared. And then came back and dropped this and then-- - We were supposed to forget and I did. - I didn't, I just, it just made me more upset. (laughing) - I did. First of all, I would just like to say that on Apple Music, this isn't listed under K-pop, it's listed under R&B and soul. - Oh, is it? - Yes, it is. - Love that. - Which deserved it least. - Love the whole album is just, it's so good. - It's so decadent. Like biting into a beautiful piece of chocolate cake. It's just so rich. It's so fun 'cause the song is called Pine Apple's Life. So, when he said take up Pine Apple's Life, it may have said, oh, say list. - First of all-- - I don't know what that means, but yes. - We got vampire back in. - Yes. - Yeah. - When I thought of the song, I did not think vampire. - Me neither. - But you know what, I saw the vision once it came to me. - Exactly. - Also, we know what it means. What are you talking about, Pine Apple's her back in? - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - Don't try to pretend that you're in this thing. You're like, take a Pine Apple's Life to me. I know, I know that you know that, I know what the fuck you're talking about. - It took me a second, but I got it. - Yeah. (laughing) - It takes you a minute. - And then you're in it. - But then once you're in it, you're like, oh. - You're nasty, you little freak. (laughing) - Yes. - I also love in the music video, like, okay, yeah, the vampire thing and whatnot, but the cinematography of the video is so nice because that first is like, everything's backwards. - Yeah. - And then, at the end, this one is how it's supposed to be looking like. And I just, I loved the dancing in this. The, his moves, with his vocals, I'm just, I don't, like, wow, back in. Yeah, that's a man. - Yeah. - Great man. - A beautiful man, a great man. I just, she's so scrumptious, and the choreo. - I'm up a slap to me, the little choreo thing. - Yes. - Also, where did we, I, I'm a terracon now. I'm seeing a lot of people of color involved in these music videos. - You're right. - And I'm not getting a casting call. - I don't understand what's happening. Like, I, I just need, like, later on, we'll talk about La Sarah film. Like, they, I just miss the whole get together. - Like, I, I wanted to be, like, girly, girly. I, I would have skipped that music video shoot, but this one, I'd have been involved in. - No, no, no, see, I would have been there, because if I get in with La Sarah film, then I get in with NCT. - That's true. - Yeah, you know. - How do they correlate? - K-pop. - No, the rumors. I mean, we were, like, Chewan and Hetchan. They have, like, a little friendship thing going on. - That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's a boy, so, you know. Anyway, but that little dance he did at the end with all the, okay, all the dances. - Yes. When they were, like, in the middle of the street. - Oh, I love that scene. - In that white shirt? - Yes. - He was there, like-- - Oh, he looks so fine. - He looks so good. - And the choreo is just so, like, satisfying. I don't know what it is about the little-- - I just, I love that chorus. - But it's, like, work, work, work, come on, girls. - That chorus of everything that take up, and that feels nice to me. Then, then, then, then, then, then, then. - Like, it's just, it's so catchy. - It is, but my favorite part about his music is that, no matter, like, if it's slower R&B, or it's more, like, a B or whatever, like, handy, or whatever, everything is just so smooth. Like, everything just feels like, I don't know. I can't explain it. Does that make sense? - No, I get, yeah, I totally get it. - Okay, yeah, I just love it. - Like, I was watching that video over, and I was just, like, he, it's not just K-pop. Like, Kat said, like, that they putting stuff in their R&B. Like, he's a pop, like, pop icon. You know what I mean? Like, he's a pop icon. I see that. And I love this for him. I love that the Exos, you know. They're out here thriving, doing the thing. Chen Yol also dropped another-- - Not what I was expecting. - Blackout. - I, okay. - Email Rock Boy. - Y'all know how I feel. I just, I love Sad Boy, I don't know, it's okay. - No, I feel it. - 'Cause even when Mark Twain came out, I love Sad Boy Mark Twain. I just need all of them to be crying and sad and just contemplating like-- - Girl, why you leave me? - Yeah, 'cause this, I love this so much. - I honestly, I was also surprised because there's always that joke that like, Chen Yol's music is always like, eh? But I was like, nah, I like it, it's fun. - I like this. - But this is like, and this whole album is really freaking good. - No, yeah, it's really good. I like the vibe that he went for. It was like a rocky, kind of hip-hop-y vibe. - Yeah, and like, Itmo. - Right. - Like, Itmo Boy. - Like, Itmo Boy Rock. - Yeah, the bleach tear, he got the baggy cut-up jeans. He had fucking wristbands on. He went all, he said. - He was like on a bus by himself at night, just walking around the city to like. - He's running around like, oh my God, I can't believe this is happening. But yeah, like every time this song comes on, first spot, if I'm like, you know what? I'll listen to it again. Like, it's so good. - It's like, I guess I'll do it. - This is the, my favorite thing that he's released is him, so it's like Chen Yol. - Like, yeah, I, and honestly, like, I was not expecting that at all, especially just from his track record, like every song he's done before, or like when he did his unit with Su-Hoon and everything. Like, it's just so different. So this was like such a, like breathless, like fresh air, I guess for him. So, but I, I love that. I love this look on him too. Like, he was cozy, yeah. - Yeah, he, he, he, he very much in like, embodies the Linky, Imo, like a fan boy with the painted nail. That all of us Loki had a crush on in high school. - Yeah. - And then the sudden thing, because we thought that he might murder us if we talked to him. (laughing) - He's definitely like, yeah. He said, come back to your roots. Remember me? (laughing) - You ready? - Going from cats, like, now biased. I can't understand you all know, like, he's trying to lure in, like-- - Look, it can not be lured. (laughing) - I can not be lured. - I mean, back in literally put me on the ground and enclosed my feet with cement. - Okay. - There's no get, there's no gettin' out for me. - No, she said I'm gonna stop here. - I live there now. - I mean, I like both. - I don't think-- - Some tourists are the perfect match, so maybe. - Yeah. - No, sometimes I need my tiny man and sometimes I need my tree. - Pocket prints, pocket prints, pocket prints. - So maybe it's not, for Terica, it's not cement, but it's like, it's foam. - Yeah, I-- - So she can step out. - Maybe I just, I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't address them. Like, I just want two boyfriends, I can just do it. - Exactly. Yeah, but I'm like, I'm so happy for the exos. Like, they're really, truly. And I mean, like, I've always known, like, Chenio's really into, like, every song, you know, he's made, not every song, but-- - Yeah, he plays guitar and-- - But yeah, he's very, like, musically, like, he loves that shit, basically, right? So I love that he gets to express himself this way with different things. So I'm all about it. I love this album as well, so. - And ZB1. (screams) Sorry, ZB1 also returned with Good So Bad. And I just wanna say that their whole concept is heard in this song, which is crazy. Like, the cinema, like, the movie feeling, this song gives me that. So I'm here for it. - First of all, it was beautiful. Each one of them was a protagonist in every kind of romance, ZB1, which was beautiful, wonderful, amazing, look at Ricky with the umbrella. Wow. - And the smolder, he's like-- - He never stops smolder. I don't understand what you're talking about. He goes out, he's probably in his sleep. - That's his face straight with him. - And it's streaming to us with Jung-Hau? - They did. (laughs) - Crazy. He probably was like, "Damn, I'm a good actor." (laughs) He said, "Yes, let me look at you lovingly." (laughs) - Oh my God, they probably had how I'd been in the background. He was, like, standing in the corner. That's who he was really looking at. - Yep, yep. But it's funny, 'cause Kat explained that the music video is the dad being like, "No, you can't fall in love with my daughter," or whatever. And it's them trying to get him to just say, "A-okay." And I'm just like, "That's cute." - That's pretty cute. - But at the same time, who thought about that? That's crazy. - But I just feel like, everybody's wanted so happy. You know what I mean? They're just such in the embodiment of happiness. And all their B-sides are always hardcore. They killed this Romeo. They were kill Romeo as their B-side, which isn't my favorite song. But this is so joyous. I'm like, "Oh, my God, this is great." And I felt like this is the perfect summer fall song. It's not really super summery, but it's also not like a fall song. It's just perfectly in the middle. - In the middle. - In the middle. And I just, I love, wow. It's so good. It's so good, bad. - Oh my God. - Oh my God. - Again, every time I hear it, I just like, I see the vision and their whole concept because it's like, you know, like a movie theater and like movie, like old school type of thing. And you can hear that in the song itself, so. - And they're just so like, you can tell that they love every minute of it. - Yeah, they do. - And it just makes it so much more enjoyable. - The way that I see you in, just having the time of his life every day. Yeah, imagine you become an idol. - Thank you. - And then you become friends with your favorite. I don't, goals. That's it. Successful 18ie right there. - He's already not even a year in. - Literally, literally. - Only uphill from here. - That's it. - I've been collected entity team members like Pokemon. - Literally. - And then they love him. And now they cry, like, why don't you love me? - Why don't you love me more? - Why don't you love me more? Now there is. - I understand. Jay hands great, but me. What about me? - There's a line. - Love me. - There's a freaking line now just to say how to, like, Humbin probably. Like, love that. - Love me. Want me. Jung was really like, why? That's great. You like Jay him, but why am I not the love of your life? - Literally. - And Humbin was like, whoa. - I never said that I didn't like y'all. Okay? - I just said, I like him a little bit more. - And that's it. - It's like I've already been through this with Mark and Chandler. And I've already been through this with Duyo and Kyung. And now he's doing it with you. It's so funny to see that though. I love seeing them in that show with JoJo and Shonu. Shonu was just like, I'm gonna cook. I have no idea what the fuck these gensys are saying. - Yeah, that's great. He's literally like, he's already. - Yeah. - He's literally like so much older than them. So he was just like, okay. - Yeah, kids, y'all meet, enjoy it. - You want some beer? You don't drink? - Okay. - We love CB1 in this house. They're just happy, go lucky out here. - They are. - They're mess, you know, idol life. I really hope that this happens with, like, how it happened with Kepler, so they continue. - That if their companies are smart, then yeah. - Yeah, get the fuck together. - Yeah. - Yeah. I know we just started, but, you know, we got a petition from now, so we don't, so we get what we want. So there's that. But Lucerifim did not give us what we want, according to Kyung. (both laughing) Lucerifim also dropped crazy. I like the song, it's not my favorite, but I do enjoy that, oh, the girl's the girling, girling, you know, that's the best part of the song. - It's a vibe. Do I enjoy their rapping? No, but like, it's a vibe. - I love the song. - You know what I mean? - Do I enjoy the rapping? - No, but. - It's a vibe. - You can even say it. - You're like, mm-hmm. - Yeah, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that. - Why don't you tell 'em about when we listen to the rest of the album? - Oh, the album sucks. - That's it? - Oh, that's so sad, no. - Girl. - I love the only good song is The Ballad. - Yeah. - I was rooting for them. I just feel like after the whole Coachella thing, like things got lost and messy and they're just trying like. - Yep, yep, yep. - Oh, no. - To step away. - But I, I'm like, look, I know they got it in them. - I know, yeah. - We have to be fragile. - Yeah. - We have unforgiven. - Yeah. - We have fearless. - Thank you. - A great debut song. - Yes. - The potential, I know it's there. I know the desire to have great songs is there. What the fuck is this? I'm upset. - This was the panic. - I'm upset. - This was the panic after Coachella. - I'm upset. - And literally this song is literally a challenge song because the only good part of the song is the part where they do that. - They did, yeah. - So my thing is like, I'm just mad because A, I know that they have it in them to make good music. B, somebody literally heard all of the songs in the album and said, yeah, this works. - They're in, our person needs to get tired. - And now here's my thing, like the styling, great. The music, like, I loving their outfits are so freaking great. The choreography for this, I really enjoy. - It's fun. - It's just, yes. It's so much fun to see it and to dance to it and whatnot. But the song itself, yeah. Like, did I hate it as much as Scott? No, like I can still listen to it and just be minding my own business. But like, it's not a song that it's like, it's not entity, T, T, fragile. - No. - It's at all, like, what's it, nothing? - Nothing like it. - Or like, the flame is a great song. - Oh my God. - Or the mermaid song. - All of the other tracks are big good. ♪ Boom, boom, boom ♪ ♪ Your daddy ♪ - Yeah. ♪ Get it like, boom, boom, boom ♪ - Wow, iconic. I'm so sad. I am so sad. - He didn't even hear it. - This first album was so good. ♪ Mess, mess, mess, mess, mess, mess ♪ - I'm a mess. - This song is kind of messy. - A mess, mess, mess, mess. - But what annoys me is that they let, like, the company or whatever, like, they whoever picked these songs, like, they let, like, the fear and the pressure of, like, what happened at Coachella, like, get in the way. - Yeah. - I think it was very much also like they were like, well, like, there was so much backlash with the new jeans, Iliit thing. Like, oh, they sound too similar. Oh, this, this, and that. That they were probably like, well, serifin, they have to sound so different from everything ever. - Yeah. - I don't think it's a mess. - My first thought was like, like, like, Carolina said, the Coachella things. So they're like, well, let's have them rap. And then they don't have to speak. People won't talk about them singing. - My port and change. - I know that she, no, she can out. - I love that girl and death, but why, you know. - They shouldn't be putting people to rap, just, just 'cause they're there. - Why? - That is not, that is not what we should be doing. So, so yeah, so, but I was just so sad. I was like, maybe the rest of the album is better. And we heard it, and we were like, yikes. No, it's just not, it's not their best work at all. - No. - At all. So, we're hoping for something better later on. - Yes. - Will I still be going like, oh, the girl's that girl, that girl, that girl, that girl, yeah. - That's the best part. - That's the best part. - That's the best part. - It does the only part of remember, the rest, I'm like, whatever, I tune it out, 'cause I'm just listening to the beat, like. - Yeah, because it's just like club music. It's not something that you can, like, sing in your car, like, I guess, yeah. It's like club music, or maybe when you're, like, getting ready to go to the club, like, you're getting dressed, and you're like, yes, yes, yes. - That's what Kat said, she was just like, this is just, like, music you put in the background at times, like, if you're getting ready for something. - Yeah. - Like, to go out, but yeah, so that's a disappointment. - Not a casual listen. - No. - No. - This disappointment, if the song comes down, will I skip it? Probably not, because I do want to hear the, oh, because I'm getting, and that, that, that, that. But anyways, but besides that, yeah, I'm just like, not their best work at all, at all. But we're here. So that will also return with TTYL. I personally very much enjoyed this song a lot. - It's so cute. - I personally did not. (laughs) - There you go. Yo, this is, like, the podcast is so funny because you could tell, like, the difference in music taste. 'Cause this is, this is a club song. There's a dance, like, dance song. And yeah, a little bit, yeah. - It's very much like-- - That's what they described it at, as pop, so. - Like, get out of here! - Yay, yay, woohoo! - Woohoo! - Pop, pop. - Woohoo! - Yeah, that's what it is. - No, like, in the beat and everything, it's more like a, like a dance, like, track. So that's why. - Well, I just need K-pop titles to stop doing dancers. (laughs) - I'm just like, it's not working out. - They can't do it, they can't do it. - They can't do it, they can't do it. - See, I liked it. I really liked it. - We're taking Ls, we're taking Ls right now. - I was vibing, this is like, but I was just like, this is great to listen to. I've been enjoying my time out here. - We were vibing, but not living. That's why we're taking Ls. - Like, I just leave, I have in my whole life, I'm not living my life then. - You're not living. - Apparently not. - This is vibing, but it makes you-- - Apparently not. - It's like, Carolyn is our DJ girl. So any, like, dance track club, like, it's, that's her jam. - I'm like, I'm doing it. - I'll never forget when I asked Carolyn about, like, in songs, what's the first thing she listens to? I'm like, I like songs most of the time because the lyrics are great, and then I get into everything else. She's like, bitch, I don't even know what happened to her. (all laughing) - I don't, I just, I really don't, like, even for English, that's why when y'all are just like, did you hear what he says? I said, no, I need to read the lyrics. Like, I don't know-- - We're in the car this morning. - And Bryson Tiller's coming to Seattle, and Carolina goes, I was like, oh Bryson Tiller, and she goes, who's Bryson Tiller? (all laughing) And so I started singing, don't. And then she was like, what the fuck is that? I don't know what that is. And so I went to work and I played it for her. And literally two seconds after, she's like, oh! (all laughing) That's Bryson Tiller. - Oh my God. - It's like, I don't know what he's saying, but I know what the songs are like. But it's literally that. So yeah, so maybe that's what it is. Like, I was hella-- - Yeah, I was dunching. - Dunching. - Yeah. - Me and Tera are like, (sings) like lyrics and melodies. - I mean, yeah. - Beat, beat, beat. (laughs) More bass, more bass, do. - I'm not here for the beat. Even though I hate that song. (laughs) But anyways, yeah, the symbol is great. She also came back, well, actually, solo debut with Runaway. - She did so good. - It was not what I was suspecting from her. I actually didn't know what to expect, and I like it. - Yeah, I would classify this as pretend pop. - Like, I feel it. - Like gentle, pretty, fairy pop music. - It wasn't like very memorable for me, but she did well. She did so well. I love the music video, though. She looks so pretty. She's gorgeous. - She's very pretty. - I'm pretty sure they put like a trash bag on her, and I'm like, wow, that's like the sign or trash bag. - No, literally. (laughs) - But it's very like, I felt like I was loaning-- - It's like dainty when I was, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Very elegant, very princessy, and they're like, - And that's like the vibe she gives. - Yeah. - And then, when we were watching it, we're listening to it come, it's just like, I love that after all these years, she still has her Chinese accent. - You know how the Chinese accent-- - 'Cause she never says anything. (laughs) - She still has her Taiwanese accent. - Yeah, they're just great. - They're just so cute. - Yeah, they are. - She's so pretty. - But yeah, like, she sings her Korean with an accent. I just think it's so cute. - I love that. - And it's really cute. Every time I like, think of her, I think of the Kelly Clarkson interview, and she's like, "Chewie." I was like, "Oh, this is so cute." She's like, "How do you want it to be renowned?" She's like, "Chewie." - She's so cute. - She's so cute, thank you. - But I remember it's me trying to say her name for the first time. - Girl. - I was like, "Fuck that, shit up." - I said, "Cha-chooie-choo. - I said, "Cha-chooie-choo." - "Cha-chooie-choo." - I said, "Cha-chooie-choo." And I was not a-- - "Cha-chooie." - And I say, "I apologize." I'm literally reading as I go, okay? - I am just a girl. - I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl that grew up in a Spanish-speaking country. So that's it. - I'm just a girl. - That part. So, zikers are not just girls, they're witches. Zikers return with witch, what the fuck? What's happening in this music video? I don't know what happened in the song, but I was in it. But I was in it. - There is so-- - Man, I don't know how I feel about it. - Say, please don't hate it. - Yeah, say. - Hate it? - Yeah. But I don't know if I like it. - It was a lot, it was just like-- - I felt like-- - I don't know. - I was like boxing for the first time. - Yes. Like I was just getting hit with jabs, left the rain. - I was like, "I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm--" - Yes, I was like, "Whoa." - And it was over in like five seconds. I was knocked out, I got up, I was like, "What the fuck?" - At the end, I was tired. - Yeah. - My limb hand was tired. - I was scared. - And then I just saw Hunter doing the little spin. Like, that's what I woke up to. The thing is that the only thing I can vividly remember of the song is the ending, but also, like, when they do the switch-up thing, that's what I'm saying. - Fuckin' love it. - It's like you're in a boxing ring, and you're like, "Ooh, I'm gonna fucking," and somebody's like, "Pup, pup, pup, pup!" - And you wake up. - And you're knocked out. - Yeah. - You wake up. And you're like, "What the fuck is this?" Like-- - And then Yechan's rapping. And then he's like, "Nah, nah, nah, nah!" - He's still iconic, I was like-- - On his verse, I remember. - Yes. - Because he was just sitting there, and there was a little suit in his blue hair, and he's like, "Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah." Like, you put a fucking Tom and Jerry, 'cause she was in fast-forward. I love it every time. I love that boy. The rest of it, bitch, I-- - It's mixed, and I was like, "What the fuck?" - Yeah. - Yeah. It was so much. But again, and I don't know if I enjoy it, or I'm Stockholm Syndrome. I'm just liking it, or if I don't like it. - I want to listen to the rest of the album, too. - I don't dislike-- I don't think I dislike-- - Yeah, I don't think that I'm just like you. - I ain't come out with saying I hated it. I was just-- - Exactly. - Yeah. - Exactly. - I didn't like getting punched in the face 12 times. - Yeah. - I was like, "Whatever." - I don't think I also hated being punched. - There's stuff to-- - Like, we're having an insult at the level. - The part of the song, or it was like, "Rapper after, Rapper after." That was great. I remember that vividly, because Sigma was doing, like, a little footwork thing. - Yeah. - I was like, "Pah, pah, pah, pah." And I was like, "What the fuck is going on?" - Yeah, yep, yep, yep. - I remember that. - The rest of the-- - The rest of the fucking album. - No, and then they did that signature thing where they, like, spin around the dance move. - Yes, yes, yes. - I remember that. And Hunter looking at me like he wants to eat me alive. - Yes. - 'Cause that's just what he does. - And then, at the end, it was just like, "Yeah, they're all witches." And I'm like, "What's happening?" - How do we get here? - I just-- I don't understand the journey, but we got there. - #5, so I was taking the long way home. - I'm taking the long way home. I don't know what the fuck I-- - Love that song, especially the conversion. - Yes, I feel that. - But no matter how many times I saw it, I love it. I was like, "Yeah, you're right." - Yeah, you're right. - Shout out to Alex Gaskar. - Woo! - But yeah, but I want to listen to the rest of the album. But you know what's great, though? Every time I listen to "Sikers," I can't help but notice the KQ-- - Prince. - Yes, the blueprint, which, honestly, is Hongdoon, but-- [laughter] - Like, when I hear it, it's very different, but you hear it. - But the elements are the same. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy, and it blows my mind, 'cause I'm like, "How?" - Like, I hear pirates, but it's not. - They sound nothing alike, but also exactly alike. - Yes. Like, I hear pirates, but it's not pirates. You know what I mean? - This whole conversation, I did it, love it, but I didn't hate it. They sound alike, but nothing alike. - But they don't. - Exactly. - It's there, but with different elements, but they're the same. [laughter] - Someone's gonna listen to this and be like, "What the fuck are they talking about?" - That's what they're saying. - But if you listen to it, you understand it. - A "Sikers fan" is gonna come in and be like-- - Yeah, and you'll understand. - Exactly. - A "Sikers fan" is gonna come in here and be like, "First of all, I like--" - As a casual listener. - Listen. - Yeah. - As a casual listener who's in love with Min J, I would tell you the same. - I love Min J, he's so cute. - Yeah. [laughter] - I love you, Chando. Like, he's just-- - That's my son. - All right, he's my son, right? - I've been watching that little boy doing shit since two or 12 years old. - That's true. Oh, my God, yeah, 'cause he was in 19 years, on the 19 years. - Oh, wow. - Crazy. - Yeah. And you know that, survival shows, that's cats. - That's my bread and butter, bitch. - That's cats shit. So, but I-- yeah, that's why I want to listen to the rest of the album. I haven't had a chance to. I've liked their music since they debuted it. I feel like it's really fun and outgoing, and I feel like they bring this punchiness into K-pop and into their music in general, you know what I mean? So, I enjoy them. Also, they just seem like really funny, guys. - Day six also dropped Meltdown, Rock Anthem, yes? - We're always. - Always. And I love Day six. Also, congratulations to them. I think they're gonna be one of the first bands to play at one of the biggest venues in Korea or something like that. - Oh, yay. - And yeah, I think it's a venue that is usually always just like K-pop idols, yeah, something like that. So, look at them. After all of this, they've been through the most. - They have. And they look so happy in the music video. - They do. - Just bros making good music. I love that, yeah. - And the music video is so cute too, I like it. - I think they look so grand, because they do. - Oh, I also like, oh, do one look so good. Bless you, bless you. - Yankay, also Brian. - Oh, Brian, my friend. - Brian King, Brian, wow. He hit that face card. - Never declined. - Never declined. - I love him. - He got a little chubbier, but it didn't-- - And I love it. - I love him. - He looked like a man. He looked like a man. - He does. - He feel like, feel down. They all do. They're all like, filled out and like-- - Also, I saw him do the challenge with Chewy. And he-- - He did everyone's challenge. He did it with Beck Young too. - Oh my god, really? Look at him. - He's dancing. Nobody's one, Candia. - I know, it's great. - He did it with Matthew. - Oh, I need to go watch that. - He's dancing. - Right away. I mean, listen, I love Yankay, because he literally is just like, I don't know how to do anything except be a monster, writer for music and producer and maybe-- - And maybe I'll dance a little bit. - And maybe I-- - Yeah, exactly. But it'll be sucky, but I'll do it, right? 'Cause I'm a good sport. (laughing) - 'Cause I love money. Let's go. - Oh my god, yeah. I love the six. I love the song "Meltown" very much in "Rock Anthem." They are just-- it's day six music. It's like, "Happy Day Six" music. Yeah, it's 'cause they have-- - They have those days. - They have those days, yeah. Yeah, it pulls out. Yeah, it pulls out. (laughing) And we're gonna end our comebacks with a debut of "I Wanna Say Their Name Is Meow." - Their name is Meow. - Their name is Meow, and the song is called? - Meow. - Meow. They're on their "The Black Label," right? - Unfortunately. - Or YG, oh god. - Seems correct. - Seems on-brains. - It checks out. - It checks all the boxes. - Okay, so first of all, why? (laughing) - Why? - Why? - Second of all, why? - Look, I'm just-- - They're pretty. - They are. - They're beautiful, and they're talented. - They're talented. - Yeah, they're unwrapper with the bow and her hair. - Yes. - Crazy. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - There was one girl too that had too many holes on her shirt. - Great. - Amazing. - They're amazing. - They're amazing. The little one, she looks mixed. - Yeah, I know you're talking about-- - The one with the long, like, kind of Auburn hair. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's amazing. - Talent. - Talent is there. - About the window. - Song? - Songs fired. (laughing) - And that's the thing-- - That's the man. - That's like out of here. - I would be so pissed. And you know, they probably are pissed, but they can't do anything about it. - No. - Like-- - And I don't mind, like, okay, your name is Meow, like, hell yeah. - Oh, that's cute. - I love it, love that. - Yeah, that's cute. - Meow's a cute name. - The concept itself was great too, because they were just like, "I'm gonna shake mine," and it just says Meow, and I was like, "Oh." - Okay, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - The song. - The song, the execution, however. The elements, amazing. The execution, it did not give me the powerpuff girls, okay? It did not. - It was not giving me. - Oh, is it? - And not because of the girls, because of the song. - Yes, the song. - By your teddy. - By your teddy. - I need YG to get rid of that man. He has passed his peak. - So passed, he does not know. He does not know what he's doing. - Because if you put this on a "Baby Monster" album, it was like, "Baby Monster" song, and then you put all those songs together and put them on the "Black Pink" song, and we're like, "This is a Black Pink song." I would agree every time. - Yes, yeah. Exactly, if you would tell me, "This is a Black Pink song," I'd be like, "Yeah, I would believe you 100%." And vice versa, and all of them, and it's just-- - Why? - Yeah, why are we here? - Just YYG, YG. - YYY. - YYY. - Yeah, YY. - YY. - YY. - YY. - YY. - Y. - Y. - Y. - Y. - Y. But see, and again, execution is great, 'cause they kept using Meow and whatever for different words. Like, yes. - I love it. And I love that it's Meow, VV. - It's not with a W. - Yeah, and then it looks like a W, but that's, yeah, like it's cute. They can have really cute merch. Like, I'm just envisioning a whole-- - Like, a cat-themed, like, everything. - Or everything. - Every choreography where they kept doing the cat ears, everything. - Yeah. - They even have little, like, Josie and the Pussycat-esque headset. - Instead of a lipstick, it's a-- - Yes, yes, yes. - Cat ears? - Cat ears, yes. - Oh my god, light up cat ears. That would be cute as hell. - And I would buy it. - Or chokers with a little bell. (gasps) - Cute. - I'm amazing. That would be cute to say. (laughs) - Steve, look at this. - There's so much, like, branding and marketing opportunity here, but y'all fucking get up. - You got a big song. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I'm messing it up with these bad songs. That's a problem. - But bitch. Like, could you imagine, like, the little microphones that the idols wear, but it's a cat headset? - Yeah, that would be so freaking cute. - That'd be so cute. - I'm gonna need that. I'm gonna strongly, I make a strongly worded letter to-- - Like, I need you guys to take Josie and the Pussycats as an inspiration. - Yes. - Like, everything cat needs. - Josie. - But yeah, but, but like, cat theme, like, cat ears, leopard print, like, cheetah print, like, just give me it. If we're gonna do it, let's do it. - And that'd be so cute with all the, like, the whole, like, Y2K styling coming back. Like, that would be so freaking cute. - Anyway. - Wow. - People don't see our vision and I feel like we need to get hired by some of us. - Somebody Harris. - Somebody Harris. - I need that. From the look of it, YG's the one that needs help, but like, I don't know if I wanna go over there. - I don't wanna work for YG. - I don't wanna go over there. Sadly, sadly. But yeah, besides that, yeah, the girls are cute. I wanna see other songs, thank you. - Yeah. And also, YG and Black Label did the new fucking girl group from Ireland. So what are they gonna sound like? - Oh yeah, what's going on with that? - I have no idea. - No idea. They said, "We're not going to cake on." And then like-- - Knowing YG's track record with reality shows, groups. - They probably disbanded right now and they haven't even debuted. - Damn. - I mean, I hope not, but you know. We'll see where this goes. Hopefully, the songs get better. But if Teddy does not go away, I don't know. But if you release cat ears that light up as a light stick, I will be purchasing it. - I sure will. - I sure will. - I sure will. - And I'll wear there to every song. - Yeah, 'cause who's gonna know? I mean, K-pop fans will know, but like, you know what I mean? - Who else? - Who else? - Take my money. I'm really surprised new jeans and do something like that with the bunny ears thing. I'm really surprised. - Instead, they got the IUD. (both laughing) - Damn. - They're both thinking-- - They're progressing. - They're progressing. (both laughing) - Take away the stigma out of it. (both laughing) - They got the IUD. So we're gonna end this week, like we do every week with our songs of the week. I've listened to Beck Young and Jay Han a lot. I'm in my R&B fields 'cause fall is coming. So I love that vibe. So I will say all of Beck Young's album, but let's just do Pineapple Sikes because it's the title track. Jay Han, all of his album, I'm also great, but Rose's is just-- - Still up there? - Still up there. - Still up there. Also I love CB1, so good, so bad, amazing. They're doing their thing. And I've also been listening to "Dangerous" by Boy Next Door for the pre-release. We're gonna talk about the album next week, I'm excited. - Yeah! - Yeah, their new little song? - Yeah, I love it. - I fucks with it heavy. - I love it! - I love it so much! It's like-- - Please don't tell my mom and daddy. - Yeah, yo, and I heard that, it's like damn. Anyways. - I guess that's no funny. - I've been listening to Jay Han's album specifically "Flamin' Hot Lemon" and "Easy." Love those songs. - You're the same. Caroleen is the same. - Really? - The very same. (laughing) - Goddamn it. (laughing) - I had to look up the names, 'cause I just remember the order of the album and what song it was. - Jeez, Caroleen, it's kind. (laughing) - I might end up pissing. (laughing) - Whatever. - They're good. (laughing) - Also "Lucky Ones" by Exo. Don't tell me where I got on that, but I love that song. And, I don't know, hate me if you want, but combo by rise, I was feeling it. - Ooh. - Ooh, you're right. - I'm feeling it. I love the whole, like, I'm a loser. She's a weirdo. Oh my god! And then, you know, Nate's function in baseball and, yeah. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I think that's what did it. (laughing) - Did it look? For me, I've also been listening to Jaehyun and back in the album. I've also been in the "Chinels" blackout. It keeps popping up, and every time, I'm like, "Yeah!" But yeah, but with Jaehyun, it's the same song, so I don't know what it is that you play me on live in. And, honestly, can't get you, it's good too. - Yeah, it is. - Yeah, but I love it. And I'm here for the R&B. Yes. - It is. - Yeah, mm-hmm. So whether you're here from the R&B, yes, mm-hmm. (laughing) For the, meow! Make sure you always, always. - Thank you, girl. (bell dinging)
