Could you say hello first?

Yes—two, three!

Hello, we’re BABYMONSTER Your airport fashion is so flashy— just like global superstars What’s everyone’s concept today?

- I came dressed with SWAG today, like a monster - SWAG - Monster Swag monster—love it Same as PHARITA— I wanted to show some swag too, so I matched a suit with a dress - Bling-bling - I’m bling-bling—obviously YG, just look at me - YG concept - My concept is YG YG at first glance—love it Today I went with straight hair for a pure vibe, and added a little hip-hop— and a little fur, too - Pure hip-hop - That’s so cool This is amazing Huh? Wait a second What did you say?

This is bad What’s so bad?

- Everyone, this is an emergency - What?

We went too hard on the dance party, so the engine overheated and we can’t take off If it’s an engine issue, it might take a while Ms. RORA, is there any way to kill some time?

Does UP Cono Airlines happen to have karaoke service?

- Of course, absolutely - Definitely - We’ll get it set up right away - Sounds great Give me that UP Beat All together So we’re taking off now?

Okay - Everyone, please stay safely seated - Let’s go!

We’ve taken off now Our airline has a special in-flight service just for VIP passengers And that is— something you won’t find on any other airline A truly special in-flight service Have you ever heard of Unmasang?

- No, I don’t think so - Unmasang is in airplane mode right now Unmasang reads your fortune on the plane It’s a special service you literally can’t get anywhere else, but When we pass over Mokdong today, things might get a little rough Unmasang is usually on a roll in Deungchon-dong, but They’ll probably come in once the air is stable - They’re here! - Pink!

- Welcome aboard, everyone - Hello I’m Unmasang, here to make sure you have a comfortable flight And today, just for our superstar clients, if you tell me the color you want, I’ll even change my outfit - Really? - Let’s pick one KITA, what do you think? You like pink?

- I like it - Really? - Thank goodness - Totally YG style - Pink, pink - YG style Was YG pink?

Since we’re all here, tell me one concern each Starting with you, RORA— have you been worried about anything lately?

- Why don’t you want her to? - Because her hair suits her right now - Natural black looks amazing on you - That’s true If you were to dye it, what color would you want to try?

- Maybe a slightly lighter brown? - Light brown - You can pick - I draw?

Pick one, then show it to Unmasang first Do I just draw one?

Even if you draw two or three, they’ll figure it out - I’ll just draw on my own - Okay - You’re charging up your energy—hurry, charge it up - Got it - She says she’ll draw three - A few different ones - Three - Three?! - Yep - You can do it - Three, though Feels like we’re getting premium service in Mokdong today But these all kind of make sense You can do it Sometimes your gut feeling in the moment is more accurate - Set your priorities first - Priorities No need to suffer on purpose There’s a lot packed into this - Unmasang, how do you interpret this? - Please interpret it for us First, You want to dye it, right?

Yes, I want to try - Set your priorities first - Priorities - Is dyeing the priority, - Yes or - Whether it’s your hair condition - Is your hair health the priority?

I’m 17 - Why? - Seventeen - Seventeen - Yes, seventeen - You’re 24? - Yeah - I’m 26 - Yeah 26? Oh In a couple days, I’m basically half 50 I’m done for I’m past it I’m already past it Already half 50 But 17 is your international age, and in Korea you’re 18 - Still, 18 is young - Really?

- You really are BABYMONSTER - That means nothing The good news is, if you wait two years - You’ll officially be an adult - Right, right - In two years, you can become an even cooler sister than you are now - Right - Sis - Sis - Exactly - But in the end, you return to your first choice - Yeah, so it means it’s pointless - I think I get what that means As time passes, the sisters just become even more sister - True - Yeah - Because we grow up together - Yeah, yeah Forever the cute youngest So cute, so cute - But on stage, you’re seriously cool - Right, right This energy Do you like the interpretation?

- Thank goodness, seriously - Thank goodness - Great, PHARITA - PHARITA - Yeah - Let’s go My concern is I shop a lot - On my phone - So I keep adding and adding - So I’m debating whether to buy it or not - It’s gotten out of hand It’s gotten too big What do you usually shop for?

- I really love clothes and accessories - Clothes and accessories?

- They’re important - Totally - What do I do with this urge to spend? - How many should we pick? - Pick 4 - Or should I buy it or not? - Two?

- Two - Two, okay - Aw, that’s a shame - Two Two Clothes and accessories in the cart - What does it say? - Why?

- Why? - I guess it nailed it - It’s accurate? - That’s actually legendary Sleep on it and think again afterward Don’t rush your decision - It’s seriously spot-on - That’s actually so true - It literally means exactly that - Get a good night’s sleep and then - Yes, yes One more time, why do I need to buy this?

- How many times am I really going to wear it? - Right, right - Think about stuff like that too - Exactly - You must’ve looked because there’s something you want - Yes Is there any clothing or accessory you really want right now?

These days, I really want to buy a big bag - A big bag - A big bag Because we’re going on a world tour soon So I think I’ll need a big bag, but I’m still debating For that, I think you can just buy it without overthinking Must be nice being rich - Wait, no, no - You’re rich - Because it’s something you actually need - Rich, rich - Okay, okay - Sounds good - CHIQUITA, should she buy it or not? - CHIQUITA’s a fortune teller too - She’s a fortune teller - How much is the bag you want? - Should I buy it or not? - How much is it?

- Rich girl - Rich girl - Rich girl, is this a flex?

Total FLEX - Flex - Total flex vibes Buy it!

I’ll get it for you That was recorded, you know?

Please edit that out Can I take back what I just said?

BABYMONSTER’s official fortune teller, CHIQUITA, tell fortunes like Unmasang If you’re really good, you might take the spot CHIQUITA, please pick two - Okay - Two again this time - Did you see that snap? - Do it, do it - That flipping snap was so Something unexpected will happen Don’t let your emotions take over Well, something unexpected already happened CHIQUITA said she’d buy it for you - First of all, she said she’d buy it - So that’s how you interpret it - She’s gonna buy it When’s your birthday, by the way?

Mine is in August - It’s so accurate - Soon - Nice - I’m getting ready for it - But my birthday comes before that - You’re getting ready?

Can I take back what I said?

We’ve traveled overseas a lot, but this is the first time I’ve been on a plane where they read your fortune like this It was such a fascinating experience - It’s an excellent service - Thank you Is this my mirror?

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.
