11
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
12
For First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans, and you're watching Hot Ones.
13
It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings.
14
And today we're joined by BTS.
15
They're a defining global force in pop music, the first group since the Beatles.
16
They have three number one albums in a single year, and at long last, the return is finally here with their new album, A De Rang, along with the new single, Swim, and an 82 -day world tour to follow.
17
We're thrilled to have you all in the biggest table this studio has ever seen.
18
BTS, welcome to the show.
19
Here we are!
20
BTS!
21
Woo!
22
Yeah.
23
Oh my god.
24
RM is the group leader.
25
I'm wondering if you have any predictions.
26
Do you think you'll all make it through to the end?
27
A lot of Koreans have their kind of pride like, you know, they can eat like spicy food We're the best, but I think we are kind of the weakest actually.
28
So I want to give my hopes on JK
29
Because I think he's the strongest out of all the team and Jimin too strong Jimin You're strong too, right?
30
Come on Okay.
31
Let's leave it on to these beasts here.
32
Come on, wings!
33
Oh.
34
Come on.
35
Well, it's a historic day.
36
80 wings on the table.
37
Let's see how many come off.
38
Are you guys ready to get started?
39
Yeah!
40
I'm ready!
41
Number one.
42
I'm so happy.
43
I'm so happy.
44
Let's go.
45
Yummy. So sweet.
46
This is great.
47
Easy, easy.
48
It's delicious, just?
49
It's a little bit of a taste.
50
Coming a little late.
51
Easy, peasy.
52
Lemon, squeezy.
53
So the album opens with body to body, banger by the way.
54
And after two minutes, the beat falls out and then it gives rise to the traditional Adirang chorus.
55
Yes sir.
56
What kind of message is that to start the album?
57
Like, what are you saying to the listener?
58
I've done it and I've done it.
59
I'm done!
60
That's it?
61
I'm done.
62
I don't eat anymore.

92
Yeah, it's just blood.
93
The face is about to be too, yeah.
94
I don't know.
95
It's red.
96
When you think back to recording Danger in a garage in LA, to doing your first US show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood,
97
what does it mean to now be on the biggest tour ever by a single South Korean act?
98
Have you ever heard that a singer or a musician follows their song titles?
99
We were really in danger at that time.
100
We were just about to collapse.
101
We were just about to collapse.
102
We were just about to collapse.
103
We were just about to collapse.
104
We were just about to collapse.
105
Correct!
106
Correct!
107
Come back.
108
Come back.
109
The shows are projected to last two and a half to three hours, which is a tremendous physical demand, especially with the way that you guys perform.
110
What does the morning after a show feel like?
111
We all have to put in the concert.
112
And when we go to the concert, we'll take a look and prepare a perfect look.
113
We all have to put in the morning.
114
It's like a spicy sauce.
115
Right.
116
We actually have a very special sauce just for you guys.
117
So Esther Choi, who works on First We Feast Heat Eaters, she has supplied us with her very special gochujang sauce.
118
Oh
119
For sauce number three she's an amazing chef known for using traditional Korean flavors
120
that she grew up with and putting an American twist on them So let's dive in I hope you guys Yeah
121
Ah this smells Korean How do you make the dough?
122
It's delicious.
123
I don't speak Korean.
124
How do you make it?
125
Do you know there's a Korean slang?
126
It's a word called JMT.
127
That means like super tasty.
128
We call it JMT.
129
J .M .T.
130
Jungkook, what is J .K.
131
by J .K.?
132
Can you describe to us how to make it?
133
Jin, do you have a most treasured memory as a fisherman?
134
Like, do you have an all -time greatest catch?
135
I'm really excited to hear the question that I've ever heard.
136
I'll just think about it.
137
Great question.
138
Yeah, very great question.
139
You've got a lot of fish.
140
When I was fishing, I went to the sea and went to the sea.
141
I went to the sea and went to the sea and went to the sea.
142
I had a drink and I had a drink with a drink
143
and I felt the taste of the taste of the taste.
144
I was very different from the taste of the taste of the taste.
145
I liked the taste of the taste of the taste.
146
That's right, that's right.
147
Come on, wing!
148
Mmm!
149
It's delicious.
150
Good?
151
First impression, really romantic. And great.
152
I'm scared of the after, after.
153
Yeah.
154
After effect.
155
Delicious.
156
Why are you sweating?
157
Okay, I'm sweating.
158
And the wave is coming.
159
That's why I'm wearing shades.
160
They're starting to roll in.
161
Same wavelength.
162
It's the house here.
163
So the first half of this album is the most rap -forward BTS record in years with songs like Aliens, Hooligan, Body to Body marking a clear return to bars.
164
Suga, how would you describe the underground battle rap scene in Daegu when you were performing under the name Gloss?
165
Wow!
166
Wow, this is amazing!
167
Crazy questions.
168
It's so good.
169
How do you know?
170
I'm just a little bit of a background.
171
I was very upset.
172
When I was in the States, I thought I should go to Seoul.
173
I didn't have any money to make any music.
174
I thought I should go to Seoul in the day.
175
Are you crying?
176
No. You cry?
177
No. My stomach is not crying.
178
I'm ready.

211
Like which one is the most fun to play?
212
Yung -Nori!
213
Oh, that's it.
214
It's the most difficult.
215
I think it's hard to play this song.
216
But we don't have that stick to play.
217
You want to play something right now?
218
Yeah, of course.
219
I think the person doesn't eat the rice today.

By the law.
453
But the good news is the wings of death are behind us.
454
You guys have conquered the Hot Ones Gauntlet and to close things out, you guys have a language that goes beyond speaking.
455
For over a decade, you've communicated with your fans through poses, through hand signals, through gestures.
456
So to close things out...
457
So to close things out, I'm not going to ask you to answer a question you've already done enough.
458

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
