This week on Not Your Average Trangirls. She's haunted by you, gyms, and more. Until he says that he's gonna enlist. - Oh my gosh. - Oh no! Imagine his and more is that he's going to the military. - Excellent, Your Girls got us revisiting our emo days with their latest track instead. P1 Harmony singing in a satsong that is not sad at all. And Boy Next Door is back with Dangerous and Nice Guy and they're multi-million record sellers in our house. Check it out. - Hi guys! (laughing) - Yeah. - Watch Your Average Trangirls. Back with another week of K-popness. It's just a duo today. - Woo! - Tera goes out living her best life at the dream concert. - Yes. - She sent us videos that look like a great fucking time. - General in a ponytail, thank you. - Mark. (laughing) - Markle. - Oh, wow. - But we're here. We're gonna talk about K-pop. It's Your Girl Cat, Boy Next Door, thank you. (laughing) - My drop, that's it. - And hello, this is Carolina. And honestly, Boy Next Door, thank you. - Representing K-pop. - Like, they are crazy. I can't wait to talk about their songs. 'Cause, yes. But yeah, but like we said, Tera got living her best life. I just want to say that General looks amazing, incredible. Love this hairstyle is doing their job. You know? Doing their job and doing it well. So, very excited for that. Can't wait to hear all about it. - She just said about that. - Yeah. - It was her second time. 'Cause the first time was a minute. - The first time it wasn't enough. I made it to elaborate, okay? I can't wait for Tera got to be back so she can tell us all about it 'cause it looked fun. It looked very, very fun. But anyways, celebratory, I guess celebratory tweet, I was gonna say 'cause we're doing it. - celebratory tweet? - We're tweeting out right now. Anyways, no, day six, congrats to them. They finally got their first win. - It's not too wild to be here. - Same, I thought that they had already got that. - I said, there's a fucking way, this is their first win. - I mean, that's what they've been doing. - Congrats to the nurses, most nuts, they haven't been there. - They have a cut. Yeah, both so, they have bangers. - Hey, bang. - They have bangers. Why don't you mean they never want to first win on like a music show? That's crazy. - Welcome to the show. - Exactly, so I don't understand. But yeah, but congrats to them. - It was the first win in our hearts. - Exactly. - They've been plenty of wins, a KA ever since your debut. - Not quite literally. - Yeah, like congratulations. - I remember the first time we saw them live and at Cape Con, the door is open and it looked like heaven's gates were opening and all that. - Yes. - And I was like, holy crap, that was 2016, wild, damn. Holy crap. - It's 10 years. - Almost. Damn. (laughing) I feel like it was yours yesterday. - It wasn't. - It was yours yesterday. But in the midst of all this, there's some people out there talking shit, but you know what? We will admit all of that. - You don't know, Greg. - You and you. - Now fucking laying it. - And live with it, live with it. Anyways, there's that. - You think I feel bad for you, bitch? - I don't. (laughing) - You said. - You said what you said. (laughing) - Exactly. - The door stuffers say what I wanted to do. - You said what you said you did, what you did. Go with your Virgo self pity somewhere else, I'm tired. - Like, yes. - Moving on, new jeans drama. - Real cool. - The girlies went on YouTube, did a live by themselves. - On a secret account. - Yeah, and they were just like, "Bring whatever her name is back." I'm like, she said, "You got to the 25th." I said. - Yikes. I don't think threatening a company is smart. - But also, I don't think threatening high was smart. They're gonna be like, "Yeah, okay." - Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying. - For what? - And like, what? Or what? - You're gonna quit? - Like, okay. You're literally one foot out the door already at this point, because... - I gotta be careful, because then I can be like, no name, so we're keeping new jeans, no songs. You gotta start all over again. - I feel bad for these girls. - I do too, but at the same time, why are you getting involved? - No, exactly. They should've just been like, "Mm, you know, why?" - Wrong people business. - Exactly. I'm gonna go back to my middle school. I'm sorry, how old are they again? High school, high school, high school. - High school, but also, I feel bad for them because it sucks that this kind of thing is happening to children. - Exactly. - Not on their own accord. - But also, grown folks business. - Yes. - It's like you getting it. This is like you being a child and getting in the middle of your parent's argument. - Like, you just don't do that. - You don't do that. - Yeah. - It doesn't end well. - It doesn't end well. - At all. - You get your ass beat, or you get in trouble. - Or, if not, it's just trauma for the rest of your life. - Yep. So just, you know, just don't do it. But yeah, but new jeans, like, what happened? I'm just... - This whole situation is suck. Nobody is on, nobody is in the right, nobody is in the wrong. - No, no. - It's just a completely fucked situation. - No, I am upset for them. And honestly, it makes me think, like, what type of day, fear mongering, or whatever else is happening behind the scenes? Like, you know, it's girl. 'Cause that video looked... They were just like, she's our friend. And she's so good. And I'm like, man, that's not your friend. - She was protecting us. - She was, yeah. - Mm. - I don't think so. - Growing his wild. - Exactly. 'Cause why you think that that's okay? - 'Cause why? Because also, it was so sad. 'Cause they were like, we're nothing without her. That's a horrible-- - That's a lie. - And that's horrible to think that way about yourself. - Literally. - So imagine what she had to put in their head for them to think about their selves like that. - Yeah, like, oh, without her. - We're nothing. - We're nothing. - Like, new genes will be failed. - Like, you're not talented. - Like, girl. - You're not the one putting in the work. - Thank you. You're the one out there saying, you're dancing. Like, I bet you, we're still, what's your ETA, okay? Like, we're still-- - Girl! ♪ I don't know what we got ♪ ♪ You're still jammin' ♪ ♪ Do you think that she has anything to do with that? ♪ No, like, I'm not standing, whatever her name is. - I'm standing new genes. - Oh, we don't even know her name, see? - It's messy. We feel bad for the girls. - We do. - But, yeah, guys. - Justice for new genes. - Stay out of it, my girls. - Justice for new genes. - You shouldn't have been involved. - Justice for just new genes. - Yeah, yeah, just that. - Fuck hard, fuck me, he did. - Literally. - Justice for just specifically new genes. - Yes. - 'Cause what the fuck? - What the fuck indeed? - In good company news, Jesse started a company, called Oni. - Oni. - So, and I think that that's really cute. She said that she wants to be, like, the big sister of companies, or like-- - Which bitch, finally? Because she was a more busy than she was. So, I was like, girl, you know you can't be in a label run by a man. - No. - Let's do it yourself. - Yep, and she didn't. And she was very adamant about saying, like, she'll be there, like, to be there for the artist, and, like, they say a big sister. And I'm like, yes. 'Cause she probably saw the horrors. She knows the horrors. - Not the horrors, the horrors. - That's what I said. - She knows the horrors. - She knows the horrors, I'm sure. - She also knows the horrors of K-pop. Jesse, would you like to share? - Sure, thank you. - Come on our back guys. - Let's share. Tell us the tea. You don't got a name drop, but you can tell us off the record. - Could you give a little wig wig? - Exactly. Like, we'll start naming things, and, you know, things people, we'll start naming people. (laughs) - And then you give us a-- - It's like, yeah, yeah, that one. - And be like, twice, we know. - We know that that's the one. And be like, okay, but, yeah. Besides that, K-pop's been slow. It's said for new banger music. - Yeah, it was two socks, so. - Yeah, that's true, that's true. Happy two socks to anybody that celebrates. I appreciate this always landing around my birthday. (laughs) But, yeah. - It's Simmons' birthday today. - Yes, yes it is. - A couple of days ago, it was Hans' birthday. - Yes, and then Felix. - Felix, like-- - There's a lot of K-pop burgers. - All the burgers. - Joan cook. - Oh, shit. - He was at the beginning of the month. - He had the beginning of the month. So he had a different type of Virgo, you know. - Namjoon is coming up, isn't he? - Dear God. - He's a Virgo too, or he passed. One of the two though. - One that, I think his birthday already passed. - Anyway, there's a lot of Virgos in the K-pop industry. - And it makes sense when you find out who they are. - Absolutely. (laughs) - Every time. - Just like me, you know. The happy-go-lucky member that's out there socializing. And, yeah. - Head in the clouds. - Bye. - I mean listen, we're here for a good time. - We're looking at you, Christopher. (laughs) - 'Cause Kat's still mad that he's on the September. - Why is he on September? - Look, it might be because his birthday's right here. - No, but when I flip this bitch. - It's up to the other side, it's to the other side. - It's to the other side, but when I flip this motherfucking calendar, who was on October? - Leo. - Why? - His birthday's in November. - I didn't make the rules, okay? I didn't make the holiday. - Our birthday is in October. - I was gonna say. - But why can't Lino and Bontown be on this together? Why is it only in Lino month? - I don't know. I'm not the one. I would love to see more Christopher. - You're beautiful, but I don't understand why he's in September. - Lino and B, maybe he decided to be with the other members. - It's weird. (laughs) - Besides the point, anyways, for our comebacks, A, strap the song called "Anymore." - This is a special release. - This is such a release, but we're gonna talk about it. 'Cause it's A's, it's cute, it's a ballad. - It is. - I thought it was. - I feel like it's more like a slow jam. - Well, yeah. (laughs) - Slow jam. - Not like a ballad. - Ballads, I feel like. (yells) - It's 'cause Dunno was singing like that, but he seems like that every time. - And he seems like that every time. - But it's that ice. - It's got all the ice. - Yeah, man, he just looks like he's sad all the time. It's funny. - He's just tired. - Like, I mean, or that, like, he probably is tired. (laughs) - They don't believe? - He's just like. - Do you know that filter on Snapchat? And it's so far as like the people crying, his face is just naturally like that. (laughs) - That's crazy. He's like, "I'm very happy." And I'm like, "Are you? "Are you? "I don't know. "I don't think the happiness reaches your heart." It's like, he looks at you and you're like, "Do you hate me?" I'm like. (laughs) But yeah, but I thought that this is gonna be way different because I saw that Alexa did Alexa the singer, the K-pop singer. Like, she posted a tweet about it and was just like, "Me, and it's like, "put the volume up and or whatever." I was like, "Man, this must be like one hell of a banger." - It's a great song. - But yeah, but I went to listen to it and was like, "Oh, okay." I thought it was like, you know? - Banger. - Banger, banger, banger. - Banger, banger, banger. - But it's a banger, exactly, so. - They sound great. - But yeah, they look great. - They look great. - Can you turn the actor he is? I saw a little teary fall. At one point, I said, "Wow, give him an Oscar." - Look at that. And to the eye drop, give that. The vocals say him, "Mr. Wow." Yes. - Every time. - He was giving eyebrows, he was giving vocals. - Every time. - Every time. - Every time. - I'm telling you. - Yung Hwang with his little hat. - The lyrics are great. They said, "On 14 steps from your door." I said, "Knock." - Knock on it. - Knock, I'll open it. - But they're 14 steps. They can't get. - They can't. - I don't understand why. - I don't understand why. - Exactly, I mean, either. That's what we're trying to figure out. - It's not like the house is bound. - But, I mean. (laughs) - What if... - Most one of us is a witch. - Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Who is it? Well, none of us are going to admit to a witch. - Oh, I was dancing here. (laughs) - Anyways, tune in for next week's podcast where we figure out who's a witch. Dun-dun-dun. - It's Erica. - She is the only one born in October. - And she's not here. X and A here is also dropped. Instead, featuring Yung Do-hyun. - Yeah! - They went "screamo" and I love it. I love it. I am personally not, I didn't listen to a lot of "screamo." I don't listen to a lot of "screamo." - It's disappointing. - But, I appreciate it and I, but I love this song. (laughs) You know, when my faves do it, maybe. Maybe I should revisit "Bring Me the Horizon." You know? - Oh, where's Prada. - Yeah, right? Yeah. - We came as Roman. - There's so many. - There's a lot. - There's a lot of great ones. - I know that's what I'm saying. - They don't remember. - So. - They're from Ocala. - They do have great music. - Yeah, but I just never listened to the "screamo" ones. But anyways. - As a bitch, they did listen to "screamo" music and who would be at "Warp Tour" screaming my head off. - Which "Warp Tour" is back. - Nothing to do with cable. - Right. - It's been really hard time for me. But, as a bitch that did enjoy this music in her youth and still does, at 6 a.m. when I'm in the shower. I'm like, "Yeah!" - "Let's go!" - This was incredible. - Yeah. - This is correct. - Nostalgia gave me like, a rush of adrenaline. - Yep, yep, yep. - That I have not had since I was like 14. - Crazy, crazy. Honestly, I just, I never thought that we would see this in K-pop. - I love it. - But I love it. And they even, like, they, apparently, you know, a lot of the members in "Examine Here" are like, they listened to this type of music. So they were like, "We were happy to do this." - Yeah. - Like, fuck yeah. - What do you like? They're like, metal. - Yeah, bring it on. - Don't cry. - Give me that. Give me that. No, but I'm so happy that we have this. Like, now, like, as a band. And also, like, they're just, like, up and coming band, you know, for Korean and just everything. I'm very happy with what they're doing. I also love that they're doing that day six method, you know? A song, a voice, a song, a month type of thing. I said, I don't know if it's every month, but it feels like it-- - It's been very frequent. - Yeah, like, it feels like it, which, again, is hella smart. - But if that is the case, I don't want it to be, like, day six where at the end of the year, they release an album and it's just all the songs and then one new song. - Yeah. - If you're gonna do that, you give me all the songs, plus, fully, not fully. - Exactly, like, I need extra, okay? Thank you. But I love this, you know, I love that we're seeing this. Yeah, that we're seeing this in K-pop that we're, like, just seeing their input, I guess, like, you know, artists input in their music and, like, their taste and what they like. So, yeah, so I'm all about it. Their styling was also awesome. - Their music video was crazy. - Crazy. - Ode in that tank top. - Yes. - Wow. - Yes. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - I said, Chimebin has caught another one, caught another fish and real them in. - Love that. - I said, yes. - But I said, whoo. - They look great. Honestly, listen, yeah, they added the wig, they did the makeup, they did their, they went all out. - That's very cool. - The styling was crazy. They went all out. It's, like-- - The star does that music video when he comes in for his work. - Crazy. I'm telling you, like, again. - Ooh. - I say, here's gonna be a police tour, because I'm still-- - I literally drop so much money. - I'm so upset too. - Perfect IP tickets to meet them and see them. - The fact that I cooked that. I don't wanna think about it. - So much money, like, you don't understand. - I don't wanna think about it. - I don't. - The fact that I had that ticket and I had to sell it. - I don't want this to be a one week. - No, oh my God. - We're never seeing them. Please Lord. - We've never seen them. - Ever, ever. I don't think they've stepped in. - I just barely got Lucy. - Yeah, that's true. - I barely had in flying. - And in flying was 'cause like-- - Cake on. - Yeah, because of cake on. Can cake on bring more bands? Like, we've been screaming about this. - Please, what we? - Like, bring-- - And I just wanna hear you. - I just wanna hear as we grade at a cake on. - But I don't want them a cake on. - No, I wanna-- - But I wanna-- - But I know, but I-- - I wanna hear the full this on. - But if this is the, you know, the way then-- I'll take it for now. So anyways, yeah. - Excellent, here as we love you, thank you for bringing our past back. (laughing) - I'm like the P1 Harmony, leave me alone, I said. - Like, oh my God. What a leeway, let's just have a look at them next. P1, the release, sad song. And this is gonna be a grower on me. Like, it's like, I don't dislike it, but I know that at first I was like, whatever. But the second time I heard, I was like, okay. So I know that next time I hear, I was like, yeah, there's a band. - You know what the best part is? My son's the best! (laughing) - Don't stop again, every time, every time, every time. - He delivers. - He delivers every time. - He delivers. - Cool, talented. - P1 is just crazy. - Tuh-huh. - Tuh-huh is crazy. - It's a tuck! - No, but into, oh my God, okay, the way that like, when we were watching that video and then take a show it up, we both said no. - And the face card was bananas. - That face card is never going to go on. - Bananas. - Like, the thing is, and he just lifts his life with that face. That's crazy. - You imagine? - Oh, God! - The things I would do if I looked like that. - Like, that probably he'd do it right now. - He probably is, I don't know. When I was up for him. - It's him a keyhole, man. - However. - Wow. - Dang. - Yeah, he's so fine, it's crazy. - But also-- - The song's crazy. - P1, yeah, that song. Okay, like, coming off of their hype for killing it. Like, this is a little bit slower, but it still has that like, quirkiness of them. - I love the contradiction of it not being a slow song. It's a sad song, but it's a song about sad songs. - But it's not a sad song. - Exactly. - But it is a sad song. - But at the same time, it don't sound like a sad song. - Right. - And I think that's the irony. - What's their name? - And it's in it, ironic. (laughing) - But the styling was great. - Yes. - The music video was fun. - Yes. - There was water. You know, we love-- - We love rain. - And Integ was wearing a white-- - White Theater? - With the water? - Worst Denmark. - Nah. Y'all crazy for that. I know-- - Also y'all crazy for, you guys have been dressing my son in these tight ass long sleeve t-shirts recently. - Oh yeah. - I know what y'all are doing. You're trying to get all the little girlies to come up and try to give them my son. (laughing) I just watch out and know I'm watching you. I see your play, okay? You can't say it, I've done a proof. - I've done a proof. - But at the same time-- - But at the same time, get your money. - Exactly. (laughing) - Like it is what it is. - It is what it is. Get your money, get your coin. ♪ No, I know it ♪ (laughing) But I'm just like P1, P1 has come a long way. - They have, they're doing great. - They're doing great. - I love that for them. I love seeing them live, I love-- - Yep. - They're fun, their name, their energy is crazy. - I feel like they're very genuine Aliski who is. 'Cause sometimes I'm like, "You'll shut the fuck up." (laughing) - Yeah, over sharing. - Over sharing. - Over sharing. - But then he continues and I say, "Okay, well." - Then he looks like he looks. - Yep, another crazy face. And you know, our favorite topic lately, "Boy Next Door." (laughing) Since debut. "Boy Next Door" dropped "Dangerous" as a pre-release and then "Nice Guy" as their newest track. - Off their album, "1999." - Yes, which is "Smart as Hell." None of them are "99 Liners." - No, but it's like $19.99. But also, the thing is like-- - Exactly. - About to be 20 'cause they're all about to be into their adulthood life. - Yes, thank you. - And it's great. - That's why. - I said, "Beautiful." There's even a song on the album called "20." - That's crazy the thing about it. - Yeah. - That's crazy the thing about it. - We're not gonna talk about it yet. (laughing) - "Dangerous." - First of all, amazing. ♪ Please don't tell my mom and daddy ♪ ♪ Who ♪ ♪ How we poppin' ♪ ♪ Who ♪ ♪ Against Zico ♪ ♪ I don't know what the funky did in that training room ♪ ♪ But goddamn thank you ♪ ♪ Like Zico ♪ - You saw the payoff, you saw us. - Yes. - You saw the payoff. - Yes. - For us at least, you saw it. - Yeah, like listen, I am never gonna now forget Zico's team knowing. They know they saw us. Like said, "Boy in that store we said fuck it!" - Yeah, like they saw that, they made it, that was it. Like the way that even you're seeing that at K-Con, like seeing experiencing Boy Next Door like firsthand and just like how popular they are, wasn't saying. - My thing was like experiencing them live, made me like them even more. - Yeah. - So like I love Boy Next Door before. - Yes. - And then I saw them and I was like, "Gast fuck, this is bad." - Fuck, this is bad. - Like that is, damn it. - But it's like thinking about whenever, like we would go to their events, like it would be packed. Like we would go to anything we related with them packed. - Well, exactly. I think right now there's just, there was a whole in K-pop for the type of music they make, first of all. Second of all, there was a whole in K-pop for the type of people they are. - Yes. - They're just these goofy ads. - Yeah, like you think about it and it's like, you were missing like the Got 7 personality. You're missing the Block B personality. - No, me too, yes, like personalities, right? We're missing that third gen like just, I don't give a fuck to charity. - Yeah. - That they have probably because of who their CEO is. - Exactly. - But also because they're just some stupid, you know? They're just teenage boys whose company doesn't reel them in. - Exactly. - And they're just, they just seem so genuine. - Yes. - That it just makes them likeable. - Yes. - Especially. - And you don't see that a lot in K-pop because everybody's so like. - Oh, you gotta stay. - You gotta act a certain way. You have to do this and oh, you gotta like, be perfect. - Reel it back in. 'Cause we had that, like, we had that like, you know, the crazy third gen, like nobody gives a fuck, right? Whenever they got a little bit older. And then you got to like gen four and it was like, like stricter at times with like what they say or what they do, right? It's just, it gets K-pop. It's supposed to be fun. Like, and I mean, I get the double sword in that. Like, you know, you're gonna have people there. Just like, they're, I shouldn't be doing that. I'm like, okay, whatever. Is it like, they literally are just humans. So what the hell? But besides the point, dangerous. A great fucking song. - Great song. - Nice guy, dear God. Nice guy, I'm obsessed with this song. I'm so obsessed with that. The way they said you like me, right? - Yes, bitch, I do. I do. - Yes, I do. - And y'all know it. And it's like, it's crazy because y'all know it. - And it's wild because I feel like, I was talking to somebody about this, I feel like there's not that like cocky confidence right now. - Okay, no. - Yeah. - Where the boys are just like, you like me, right? And you're like-- - Yes, I do. Yes, I do. I do. - Like, J-N is crazy. Like, there's no reason for these men to have me listening to these songs or watching these live performances and have me kicking my feet like that. - Yeah, literally. - Like, I watch more. - Like, there's no reason for that. - The other day, the algorithm really did a thing because it brought me to this girl that went to, I forget what concert she was at. And she was just like, in the middle of the show, she realized like, wow, I can't believe I'm in my 30s out here screaming for some 20-year-olds, like 20-something-year-olds to dance and sing. - Dance, boy dance! - And one of the comments was dance, boy dance. And I'm like, listen. - But these are so-- - We're here. - They're so talented, boy. I just, I love their music. - And like, they write their own stuff and like, they help produce their stuff. And it's just like, like I said, that confidence that they have, it's not really like a cockiness, but it's like a-- - Like, I'm good. - It's the most-- - Yeah, like, I'm good. - It's like, well, I cannot help but be in love with all of it. - I just can't. - You're great. Again, Seiko, whatever you did. - It's so great. - Like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. - It's literally like, like, hand on my chin, just like, staring like, wow. - Yeah, 'cause, again, J.N. is a problem. - Like, it's truly just heart-eyes. - Like, literally. - At all times, that's how I am. - Like, watching their music videos here, and I'm like-- - Giggling. - Like, feet are kicking everywhere. Like, little hearts are surrounding everything. - Yeah, but I love the "Nice Guy" song. Like, it's great. The music video is so much fun. - 'Cause they're so cute. - Like, they're just so freaking cute. Like, again, when they're just like, "You were like me, right?" Like, it's just so cute! Like, yeah, but it was, like, again, the vibe of the song, like, even just them as a group, just everything about this song. Like, it's so catchy and, like, fun to listen to. And, like, they've gotten, like, two wins now. - Like, boys singing about, like-- - Yeah, yeah, it's literally boy next door. Like, Nicole doesn't love, like, the whole trope of that. It's their boy next door, whatever. - And they had, like, they were dangerous. They were little rebels. They were, like, stealing their parents' cars and wearing their, like, suit jackets and their jewelry. - Yup. - And then they were like, "I'm a nice guy, though." - Yup. - "You like me, right?" - Like, they're freaking crazy. I can't even handle. Like, but, yeah, they're so great, everybody. (screaming) Please get on the-- - Oh, God, I hate you. - That part. Please get on the boy next door and train. - He's just so-- - It boy. And I feel like them making him, also, like, when he became an MC, like, that just, like, hyped him up even more. - Yeah, girl, like, even even more confident. - Literally. They were just, like, "Here, you can do this." - You was already, like, this flirty cocky-ass kid. - Yeah, and then they were like, "Let's make you even worse." (laughing) - And now here we are, and I'm living. - Honestly, y'all, like, going to, like, seeing them live when we saw them, like, taking on, like, the screams and, like, the energy. Like, you could cut it with a knife. It was crazy. - And also, they were just eating it up. They weren't bashful, they were just, like-- - They're like, "Yes, like, yes, we did that." We know that we are the boys right now, and they are. - NCT Wish also dropped "Dunk Shot," which can't inform me that it's also an NCT Dream song called "Dunk Shot," not the same song, but their titles, 'cause it's the same. - So, but yeah, but, listen, I am-- - It was fun. - Yeah, but I'm very just, like, I don't know nothin' about NCT Wish. - I'm not on the NCT Wish Train yet. - Yeah. - They're adorable. - They're adorable. - Love, I see their literal skits and TikToks and things. - They're adorable. - Yes. - I'm not in the boat yet. - "Dunk Shot" was cute. I saw, I was telling the whole show, the whole show. The whole music video, I was just like, they have the SM face. - They do. - It's crazy. - They have the SM vibe. - But yeah, but this was, it was good, it was cute. You know, I'm just not, if Tareka was here. - She would be the one goin' off about it. - It would be different. - I was confused when I first saw it. I was like, "Did they do a cover of Dream?" I'm so confused. Why is this called "Dunk Shot"? - Yep. - Completely different, though. Just telling you they gon' make their shot. Young June has his solo debut with "Gum". - "Gum", "Gum", "Gum", "Gum". - This is very much, this is very much a performance song. Like, yes. He was a little weird, "Gum" stuck on his shoe all the time, but he looks great. He looks fuckin' great. - This song was a grower for me. The first listen, I was like, skeptical. Second listen, I was like, little less skeptical. - Yeah. - Even with the music video for the first time, I was like, okay, I see it. - Yes, very. - Fourth listen, I was like, okay, I can get behind this. - Like, you can do it. - Studio Tomb, invested. (laughing) - There were levels. - There were steps. - There were some levels for this. Yeah, for me, it's like a very much a performance song. Like, I liked it. It's not bad. I liked that. It's very him. Like, it's-- - Oh, 100%. - It's weird. - It's weird. - It's a mixture of like dance and hip hop and-- - Yep. - And it's him just fucking it up on the dance floor. - Him gyrating. - Yeah. - He did a split. - Crazy. - He was like, thrusting in your face. - Yep. I think I heard that they had to like change. He was doing like the TikTok challenges. They had to change it to a different part of the choreo. Because of the chorus, they do the, just the hip thrust. And then I was like, damn, they should have, yeah. I was like, yeah, y'all should have just left it how it was. Like, why are y'all changing it? But, I'm very happy that he-- - He is not-- - But I would like for HIBE to stop saying things are mixed tapes when they're only one song. - That's a single, baby. - That's just a single. - That's a single. - That's not a mixed tape. - Nope. - When I saw a mixed tape, I got excited. - I thought he was gonna do way more songs. - Same. - 'Cause a mixed tape. - Exactly. - It's not a singular song. That's why it's called a mixed tape. - I don't think HIBE knows that. - Well, they need to stop. - So, really? - And I know that, like, I keep saying HIBE and I know that they're on their big hit, but it's all the same thing. - Real it in? - Yes. - 'Cause you should've just said gum single. - And that's it? - And instead of gum first mixed tape. - Is there a second one? - 'Cause I got excited. 'Cause I thought. - Is the second mixed tape the second single? And it's gonna be like that? They're just gonna be called mixed tapes and then they're gonna all put it all together in an actual mixed tape. - And then an actual mixed tape? - That's redundant and stupid. You should've just done it all together. What are we doing here? - She was just giving me a mixed tape. - And that's it. And we wouldn't be in this predicament. - I was promised when you released something that said mixed tape. - I've given up on HIBE. In past episodes, I've said that, you know, if I was gonna go to a company, that's a lie. I never said I would go to HIBE. I always said I would go to fucking JYP. (laughs) So I can't even say that. HIBE is. - I know where I'd go now, back in. - Or Zico. But that's still under HIBE. (laughs) - Lesser. - Lesser. - Yeah, that's true. Hwasa also dropped Na. She's been all over Europe. - She said, "Talk to me nice." - Yep, 'cause she is who she is. And she's been flaunting her booty around. I love that for her. - Yeah, she's shaking it. She said, "Look at my butt, look at my butt, look at my ass." - And that's it. - And she was dressed to the nines. - I love her. - I love her style. - London? - Yes. I love her style. I love that she was all out. I think she did a bunch of busking events while she was out there. And she was like, "Am I just minding your business?" - And here's Hwasa. - Yeah. And you just see her. Or any idol, you're just minding your business. Like, "What the fuck are you doing? "I don't know where you're at." (laughs) - Yes. - What? - Exactly. But yeah, but her music's growing on me. - That's a lot of fun. - This was really fun to listen to the video. - The dance, the choreo was crazy. I think Kirsten from "Damn Republic" did it, so. - Oh, nice. Yeah. I loved that chorus. Like, again, it was like a dance, like, type of thing. And yeah, I'm gonna rest my body. - Especially when you were like in the field with like the little sailor outfit. - Yes. I love that. I loved her, the white outfit, like the mini skirt with that little, the flowy top thing. Oh, God. I love her fucking clothes. - This one was actually a lot of fun. - Who's your stylist? Like, "I wanna get styled." I don't know how to fucking dress. (laughs) It's like, that's a lot of fun. - The stylist is gonna come in here and be like, "Oh, you have these black t-shirts." - Yeah. Exactly. Like, please, somebody take me shopping where I don't buy the same thing so over and over again. That's the problem. So. - Throw it on the way. - Like, imagine. Oh, my God. That would, no. I'm like, I'm gonna touch you some of these. No. (laughs) - She said, "I need a stylist." - No. - All the way. - Like, we can put it to the side. - No. - You won't change me. (laughs) But you just said, no! (laughs) - No! - Get out of it right now. (laughs) - Oh, somebody, where did the Dweckies? - No! - How dare you? We're not getting rid of the Dweckies. They're too cute. So. - She got more of them, everybody. - Yay! - She got one that's creepier. (laughs) - Than the other one. - It's a toy world. Stays will know what I'm talking about. You know how they're dressed like the other members? So, this one is Dwecky dressed like a generate. - But that's not the problem. - It's Dwecky's face. - It's Dwecky's face. (laughs) He looks a little crazy, it's okay. Even she admitted it was creepy. - Yeah, it's like the crazy cousin. (laughs) - What are you thinking over there? - He's not even a character. - Oh! (laughs) - It's like he goes behind me. (laughs) - Like, don't you dare talk shit about me. That's what Dwecky's saying right now. Anyway, somebody that needs to be thrown out, I'm so sorry. 50/50. What's happening? (laughs) Like, 50/50, which is really just the one girl and everybody else. - It's a whole new group. - It's a whole new group. They dropped SOS, SOS indeed. - It's not a bad song. - But it's not. - It's plain. - Yes. It's a plain Jane. - It's a plain Jane. - And then you think about everything that 50/50 went through. - And they're like, what's it with it? - What? But also, there's so much, like, there's so many questions because the girl, the girl that stayed, like, what is she feeling about all of this? Like, why did she stay? Is she even friends with the other girlies? What's up with the other girlies? Are they okay? The new ones that showed up, like, were y'all threatened and said, hey, you'll never be an idol if you don't join this group? Did you just say, hey, I'm gonna ride the way because they're already famous? Like, there's so many questions. And I'm probably never gonna get answers. - But also, you'll never have it, Cupid. So, no. Like, I can see the chorus being, like, a grabber for this, but not, it just, I don't think it'll be a Cupid. When they did the S's, yeah, yeah, they did the SOS thing. And that whole, like, I see that as a dance or a trend, but I don't, I just, Cupid was too powerful. - And Barbie dream was great. - Yes, that's true. - And then after everything, you're just like, can I stand? - Like, that's true. - Even if I did like the song, would be more early? - Exactly. - And like, what happened to those girls, too? And again, same thing with new jeans. It's like-- - It's not the girl's fault. - It's not the girl's fault, but also it's like-- - Fuck that company. - Exactly. Like, I see what you did, and that makes me believe that is one of the-- - Wanna go do something these girls? - Thank you. Thank you. It's like, you did it already. So, I mean, that you could do it again. - Keep up it's so complicated. - It's, I'm 10 years in, and I still-- - Can I go back to reading, though? (laughing) - Maybe. - Like, please. You know what I do like, though? Recently, a lot of K-pop music video songs just styling and everything, it's like going back to the craziest stravagant, and I enjoy that. But yeah, but I appreciate that K-pop is going back to like extravigant shit. But like, I, 'cause you know, it's not supposed to be boring. But at the same time-- - We lost the plot. - We lost, yeah, I think-- - We're still a little lost. - I think so. - The plot is still a little lost, 'cause there's so many groups where I'm like, oh, they're different, but the song is-- - The same. - So are they different? - Interesting, huh? - I don't know. I just, at this point, I'm like, bring me chaos. But maybe I just missed got seven. (laughing) Maybe that's what it is. I've been watching so many TikToks of them, they're showing up on my, like, for you, pink. I'm like, maybe-- - No wonder who you sniffling, am I? - You know, just crying. - Stop it, stop it, just holding her aga box. - Yeah, look at them! (laughing) God, I can't wait. She's haunted by yougiums and more forever. (laughing) - Until he fucking drops. - Until he says that he's gonna enlist. - Oh, no! - Imagine his and more is that he's going to the military. (laughing) I'm like, that's not funny. - No, what's funny at the same time? (laughing) - Could you imagine? - He's like, yeah, and more for the tour! No more. - Not more. - The more is that I'm going to the military, I'll be back. Bro, if he goes before young Jay. (laughing) God! This is awful! Can he just come to the States? - Just what? Even one show. - Like, please, I'll make it work somehow. But anyways, that's pretty much what happened the past two weeks. - It is. - Like-- - There's probably more, but that's what we care about. - Like, and yeah, at this point, yeah. But most of it that's happening, well, it was true song, so like, really, everybody was-- - The most important thing happened, though, and that was "Boy Next Door." Thank you for your service. - Please don't tell mama and daddy. They're so cute. - They repeat some points. - I know! - Even I'm going, even, I love that they incorporate, they incorporate like doors and everything, like-- - I love them so much! (laughing) - I can't wait for them to tour. - Not the fucking meltdown. - I can't wait for the tour. It's the same, though. - They already said it's happening. - I know, that's why. We just have to wait on stupid dates. - I just have to wait. I'm gonna have to go-- - It better not-- - Everywhere. - No, it better not be at the same time-- - Are you out of Texas? - Or that. (laughing) I was saying it better not be at the same time as Drake is, but it also better not be, yeah, I know, I know you don't care. - I'm so sorry. - I know you don't care, but I do. So, damn, that's gonna be wild at work being like, so, I'm gonna take this week off. I'm gonna take this-- - And then I'm gonna be back for two days, and then sit down. - And then I'll be gone for a couple more days. Don't worry, I will be my laptop, and I can do my work from anywhere. Thank you very much. - Shh, but-- - You're welcome. That was our podcast for the week, now where we'll wrap it up and end it as we do every week with our songs of the week. I'm gonna hold you guys' hand. You act surprised when I tell you, "Boy Next Door." - Wow. - Who woulda thought? - Who woulda thought? Their whole album, the new album is amazing. With "Boy Next Door," I always listen to the rest of their albums, so, but sometimes, favorite fucking "Boy Next Door" song, great song. - Me with an hour. - Also, let's see. "Serenade," amazing. One and only, amazing. Life is cool. - I can't put their whole discography on the playlist, guy. - I mean-- - I mean, I could. (laughing) If there's free will, I could do whatever I want. But-- - Just look up "Boy Next Door," that's what I'm listening to. - Yeah, and that's it, so. - For me, I've also been listening to "Boy Next Door," especially "Nice Guy." I'm still in the external hero trope, so, you know, I'm listening to instead and every other song that they have. Besides that, we went to see "Cold" the other day. - We did. - Well, and it was a magical and beautiful time. I love that concert. It was so much fun. So, I've been listening to a little bit of "Cold," specifically the off song. - What to do? - And "What To Do." Can't believe I "What To Do." That's crazy. - We "What To Do." - That's crazy. - And we danced. - Yeah. - Honestly, "Cold," I'm just saying, if you do a whole concert where you just sing off-on-off songs. - Yes. - I would be there singing the songs. - Okay. Like, if you just do that one album, boy album, you just do that on loop for two hours. - And we'll be like, yes, this is good. - This is the greatest thing in my life. - I will say I've been listening to "Touch" by "Catside 2." Sometimes by choice, and sometimes, because Spotify just says you're gonna, yeah. It's crazy. They had like that fan sign, and it was like packed to the brain or some shit like that. Like they're like-- - The debut song too. - Yeah. - Yes. - We do. - This is like the first girl group. - In a while. - In a while that's doing numbers, like they are. So that's insane. Good for them. Good for them. But yeah, but that's what I've been listening to. - We love that. So whether you are obsessing over "Boy Next Door." - Woo! - It's terrible. Or you are patiently awaiting your stray kids' day drop. - Yeah. - Short day drop. Make sure you always always-- - It's scary. - And girl on! Bye!
