41
fan of your music I mean since since we came to
42
LA like it kind of like has a throwback like
43
because we wrote the whole album in LA yeah it's like what you want like really has
44
that good like Tame Impala vibe to it
45
so like I gotta listen to it
46
when I come back to LA yeah beautiful yeah
47
and good memories attached to it too yes what's one of
48
your favorite things about Los Angeles having spent time here LA
49
yo the weather is really nice you know like it's always sunny yeah
50
and like it really is a good inspiration you know like
51
it just i mean joyride it i think it really contains good mellow vibe of la
52
and like you know riding along the malibu beach like you can listen to joyride
53
and like feel the vibe it must have been nice for you guys to make your music
54
and then get your monitor mixes or whatever before it gets fully finished
55
and just when it just belongs to you yeah
56
and be able to just pick your moment where you get to listen to it
57
and know that you know you've made something original can you remember one really special memory
58
when you were making the album out here in los angeles
59
that you'll always try to hold on to wow i mean we met a lot of um great people
60
like some writers and producers and i i still remember that the session that we made GO.
61
We worked with Johnny Goldstein, such a great producer.
62
And actually it was our first song camp session in LA.
63
Wow.
64
Straight out the gate.
65
You were excited, huh?
66
You went in there and were like, we're not leaving without one today.
67
Actually, before the song GO started,
68
like we had a very very long session then yeah just started from him just playing the keys yeah yeah
69
and everybody started like go oh go and like jump around
70
and like yeah and that that was like
71
that came from a very organic space yes
72
and like everybody was like crazy in the studio
73
so yeah this is one of the things i think
74
that you know we've connected with your music at the gate is
75
that um you know and i mean this with respect to to to any way
76
that artists come together or form to create
77
but i feel like the five of you is a very
78
natural chemistry between the five of you it doesn't doesn't feel forced in any capacity it feels like like like
79
that description of go yeah it rings true when you hear the song
80
that you know it just came from the fun part of
81
being cordis right i think it's like um we just like to have fun doing music
82
and like anything like craft like it could be videos it
83
could be like photography like i think we just really enjoy
84
the process like it's just such a fun thing to like express yourself your job is to be creative yeah
85
i mean like not just music anything yeah we love to
86
take photos like take videos everything you know you know the first time anyone mentioned you you guys is
87
that you know you're very creative individuals um
88
that each of you bring you know a lot of different in creative energy to it um
89
that you're very involved in your own choreography
90
that you love to pick your own moves that's an interesting challenge to set for yourselves right
91
because it's like writing and performing is one thing
92
but then of course figuring out how you're gonna present the music
93
and video is is a whole other a whole other level
94
so yeah let's talk a little bit about that and
95
and what you love about that but also what's hard about
96
that hmm I think personally the hard part is we have
97
five heads yeah yeah a lot of ideas yeah yeah and
98
so we kind of throw our ideas onto the wall and see what sticks.
99
Yeah.
100
But like our ideas clash and especially like we have different influences.
101
We watch different movies.
102
We watch different films.
103
We have different tastes.
104
Let's talk about your tastes, actually, as the five of you.
105
I'd love to go around each of you and ask you, you know, like, and doesn't even have to be specific to an artist or a movie or anything, just something that really inspires you, that defines your taste, starting with you.
106
I think anime.
107
Anime definitely is a big inspiration.
108
I think the proportions and like the drawing style and the music that matches the anime,
109
I think those things really show in our videography.
110
And yeah, great movies, great movies.
111
I think.
112
You want to give us an artist as well?
113
You want to give us an artist, a music artist?
114
Recently, Youngblood.
115
Yeah, nice job.
116
Youngblood.
117
On a tear right now, Youngblood.
118
Absolute tear.
119
He's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
120
Yeah, he is.
121
I mean, you know, he's an incredible performer and artist.
122
You know, he's just interesting about Youngblood, and I've spoken to him about this, is, you know, he's such a free thinker.
123
He moves in so many different styles and genres.
124
Sometimes it's hard for people to figure out what Youngblood you're getting.
125
But that's actually his strength.
126
It just takes time to get there.
127
Let's talk about your taste and what you love.
128

129
For me, I think, I don't know, like, the weather.

Round of applause for the one and only.
286
What an absolute legend that guy is, man.
287
Incredible.
288
And amazing for you guys to be able to get
289
that wonderful collaborative experience that early on with somebody who is one of the most in demand collaborators in modern music.
290
I mean he even like came he like showed love to Korea and he came over to Korea
291
Did a show with us.
292
Yes, a music show On an countdown and he even like we even had dinner together like Samgyeop살
293
It's not it's not hard to go to Seoul guys
294
It's a pretty amazing place Like it's it's like not a
295
hard place to want to go to like it may take a while, but it's worth it You know, I went out there for a few days
296
when I got to talk to Jungkook and
297
And it was it was truly one of the most profound amazing few days of travel I've ever had It's so special.
298
It's so incredible how you have this city
299
which has been really beautifully created and in terms of like You know a modern Gotham,
300
but then it's nestled so beautifully in what surrounds it, which is nature, right?
301
It feels like a basin.
302
It's insane It's crazy, man.
303
That's good.
304
For the people who've never been, I mean, that's a terrible Yelp review.
305
No one's gonna give me five stars for that, but what do you love about it?
306
For me, I feel like Korea captures a good nostalgic feeling and a modern feeling at the same time.
307
That's right.
308
Me, I'm like, when I'm out in Gangnam or Cheongdam, it feels so modern and fast, but at the same time, when I'm at my hometown where Songpa,
309
it's like, everything is so nostalgic still still it's 2025
310
and it still feels nostalgic so how does it feel being young there right now
311
because when I went out every time I went for a drink
312
or had some food yeah the restaurants
313
and the bars were owned by very young people yeah
314
and I got to I got to chat to somebody who was saying to me
315
that there's like um and I could be wrong
316
but he was saying that um
317
that there are like uh uh there's support for young people in hospitality to go
318
and build the businesses and try to do things is
319
that true I mean is there opportunities does it feel good like a good time a good place to be
320
when you're I think yeah, Korea is a great place to you know like maybe start
321
a franchise yeah it is like a great place to like
322
for youngins I think yeah every there are like great great
323
adults who can just help us yeah give us great advice and like yeah just our some menims our seniors like
324
BTS and TXT they all gave us great advice yeah That's a really important point
325
because I'm sure fans listening will feel like because there is a
326
This this whole music thing has been turned into a competitive environment at times for entertainment sake And I get it.
327
It's like, okay, let's compete to get in the band Let's compete to do this
328
and I understand the competitive nature of wanting to be successful Even in the arts, right?
329
It comes with the territory But I think it's really lovely
330
that you talk about the relationship you can build With the people who are part of the family, right?
331
Who unnecessarily competing with you.
332
They want you to win.
333
Yes It's really a big family and like they really opened
334
and paved the way for us so we can fool around and have fun with our music.
335
If it wasn't them, in LA Yeah, for real This is about to go crazy man This BTS thing is about to go crazy
336
This is about to go crazy They keep showing up on
337
social media playing with us all This is about to go crazy I mean they, um, actually
338
Many 선배-nims, many like senior artists did the um
339
challenge for Go and fashion but especially J-Hope and Jungkook did the challenge for both of the songs.
340
It's crazy.
341
I mean, it's such an honor and such a blessing to see them do the challenge.
342
You've seen what's going on right now?
343
This is like some Formula 1 pit stop shit going on right now.
344
Your man is literally holding down his thought while his headphone jack comes out.
345
He's continuing to talk while he's plugging the back in, which I've tried to do this.
346
It is not easy.
347
And then your man over here is just like, Yo, I'm the youngest, let me help my guy out.
348
I got this guy, don't worry about it.
349
We're in control right here.
350
Wow.
351
That was epic.
352
All right, before we say goodbye, because this is just the first conversation of hopefully many chances for us to get to know each other
353
and talk about your music, because I know you love music.
354
Let's talk about this album, which is coming in September, right, sorry, not September, this debut album, right?
355
Yes, yes, yes.
356
Let's talk a little bit about what your favorite song is on it, what you love about it, what you're most proud of about this album.
357
Ooh.
358
I think it is a capture of our lifestyle and a capture of our
359
Ourselves we like treat our music like a diary and a journal because like, you know
360
Every lyrics in there is like it's literally about us
361
and our lifestyle Like sometimes we have to like take a step back and like I mean this did like
362
Something like this is really cool, but is this us?
363
So we were like talking about that conversation for a long time and that's how the lyrics turn out Yeah, so like we have five songs and it sounds very different.
364
Like it starts from go, something is like really energetic and it fashion, like it gets even energetic.
365
Watch one, like it goes up and like, you know, like Joe Wright and Lullaby is kind of chill.
366
So like, like these five songs can show like, like five different angles of us through like this album.
367
And like, we really think like, like this album is really raw.
368
So like, you know, we try to express like our like true self or realness.
369
Yeah.
370
And like that.
371
I think that's the point of this album.
372
Yeah.
373
I love that.
374
You know, the fact that, you know, you're already showing us how diverse your interests are
375
and you're trying to get that honest place on your first five song project is crazy.
376
I mean, I think honesty is the key, you know, when it comes to our music, like when it comes to us,
377
I think we really We tried to make everything authentic and at the same time having fun, you know, just keeping things real.
378
The Lullaby music video is one thing that we could talk about.
379
Lullaby was shot because it's literally, for the ones who don't know the music video, it's like a cola can.
380
Looking, it's like the point of view of the hand.
381
And we jump into the pool and then everything, it gets crazy and um actually
382
We it was an excuse to get into the pool.
383
Yeah.
384
Yeah
385
It was a hot day the manager didn't want to shoot
386
actually we didn't want to shoot a video for a lullaby but then like
387
Let's use this chance to get in the pool
388
Because the man our managers like somehow didn't let us get
389
into the pool We are our Airbnb had a pool
390
and then you know we had to get in there's a beautiful thing about a pool is
391
that no one needs to give you permission to get in the pool.
392
It's a pool.
393
Like, you know, oh, shit, sorry, I slipped.
394
I fell in the pool.
395
My bad.
396
Now everyone's got to get in the pool.
397
Oops.
398
Oops, sorry, man, I'm in the pool.
399
Something tells me that you guys are going to have a lot of fun taking the advice
400
and the collaborative opportunities and the inspiration from those around you who care about you, but also doing what you want to do.
401
Yes.
402
And I really love that.
403
I love the fact that, you know, you as a band have clearly put your foot down in terms of what matters to you
404

Perché praticare a parlare con questo video?
Questo video è una risorsa perfetta per la pratica di conversazione in inglese grazie al suo contesto spontaneo: un'intervista live con artisti, dove il linguaggio è colloquiale, dinamico e ricco di espressioni reali. Attraverso il shadowing in inglese (o shadowspeak), potrai imitare l'intonazione, il ritmo e le pause dei parlanti, migliorando la fluidità e la pronuncia. Inoltre, la discussione su musica e esperienze personali offre argomenti comuni che facilitano l'apprendimento di frasi utili nella vita quotidiana.
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Ecco alcuni punti chiave da analizzare:
- "We've been looking forward to this moment since we heard your music": L'uso del present perfect continuous ("we've been looking") per esprimere un'azione iniziata nel passato e proseguita nel presente. Utile per descrivere attese o progetti in corso.
- "It's got a good vibe to it": "Got" come forma contratta di "has got", spesso usata nel linguaggio informale per indicare proprietà o qualità. Equivale a "ha una buona atmosfera".
- "We're here actually to make new music": "Actually" per correggere o specificare un punto, tipico nelle conversazioni spontanee. Aiuta a rendere il discorso più naturale.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nel video, alcuni termini possono creare difficoltà:
- "Qantas": La pronuncia corretta è /ˈkwɒntəs/, con l'accento sulla prima sillaba. Evita di pronunciare la "q" come in italiano.
- "Tame Impala": Gruppo musicale, pronunciato /teɪm ɪmˈpɑːlə/. La "a" in "tame" è lunga, mentre "impala" ha l'accento sulla seconda sillaba.
- "Vibe": Parola slang, pronunciata /vaɪb/. Assicurati di non confonderla con "vibe" (italiano), mantenendo la "i" sonora come in "sky".
Usando il shadow speak, ripeti queste frasi a voce alta, cercando di seguire il tono e la velocità dei parlanti: questo ti aiuterà a superare queste trappole e a parlare con più confidenza.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | we've met · it's been · you've made |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | people who bring · somebody who is · somebody who was |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | has been really beautifully created · were owned · has been turned |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passato | was happening · were you just working · were making |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
