Hello everyone and welcome to our radio show or our podcast actually Yes, I walk radio show I walk radio PR today's host.
2
I'm Johnny.

4
So yes, a little awkward.
5

6
How are you leaving the first episode of the I walk radio and
7
Here we are and We have been very busy these days really yes,
8
we are preparing for our new album release which is on
9
July 15th 15 them we have a lot prepared for you all
10
and um I'm just so excited for it to come out.
11
I actually listened to the album last night before going to sleep really And I was excited for the whole world Well,
12
I I do remember it being now the sixth The sixth album?
13
Yes So, what's different about it?
14
The difference?
15
I think the sixth album, like this being our sixth album It really, I feel like every comeback was different from the previous one
16
But this one is just like obviously different Just from the fact that you know I mean the title track itself Yeah, that as well but like
17
So I think this album is obviously different just from the fact that it's not all nine of us on stage.
18
And so, and our fans are experiencing this with us for the first time as well.
19
So I think our whole staff, we all just had to focus on how we should do this for the first time.
20
And I think that came out in the visuals and like in the music and everything.
21
But it was just a different energy
22
and I feel like we were all just like on a different page but you know, a lot of focusing.
23
Yeah.
24
Well personally I felt the biggest difference when we were practicing.
25
Yeah.
26
I mean the choreography, like everything was just was different this time.
27
Yeah.
28
It was a different mood definitely.
29
Yeah.
30
And I think we all approached this project in a different attitude too.
31
Yeah, different mindset because we knew that it was gonna be different so but I just wanted to say I'm proud Well, I'm proud of you.
32
I'm proud of us Okay I did it better No,
33
but like just even to the members and to everyone that made this album together, you know I'm proud that we pulled it off pulled it off and yes, I hope you guys like it.
34
I mean even today I heard you're going to be filming track videos Yeah, and you're gonna be filming it tomorrow Yeah, yeah, yeah, so That's good one, yeah, right?
35
That is good one, yeah, I told you we're very busy We have a lot It's a good busy Yes, all right What's your favorite song?
36
On the album?
37
Yeah I mean, oh this one's tough Because I actually,
38
I also listen to the album I actually listen to the whole album like a few times a day Okay
39
I would say the song I want to perform the most
40
The songs not including the title track would probably be Raindrop We've said this before
41
So I'm not gonna say Raindrop for now Okay
42
But the one I really like listening to would probably be Young Hwa Chorom
43
I had a feeling you were gonna say it Cause I decided that Young Hwa Chorom was my favorite for now Really?
44
Yeah, yesterday I was like Alright, it's Young Hwa Chorom for me Yeah But like Aren't you the Doi Poo?
45
I mean, yeah that too I guess But just like throughout the whole song it felt like a very
46
I don't know it was good it's a good song to listen to
47
So are we going to decide on Young Hwa Chorom together?
48
Young Hwa Chorom
49
Can't help myself I was listening to the album
50
and I was like thinking actually like The whole album is very concert-y Yeah
51
Like I was listening to GAS too Yeah and that song is very concert-y Yeah, yeah.
52
Like I literally had that in my mind yesterday listening to it.
53
Just at a concert.
54
And like at like around the end it goes like it really turns up.
55
Yeah dude, there's like a dance beat.
56
Yeah, yeah.
57
Alright.
58
Big Dug title song is the title.
59
Okay, okay.
60
Well, I mean...
61
Oh yeah, I'm glad we're saying this though.
62
I mean the song was usually called...
63
When we first heard it, it was called Through The Wall, I think Through The Wall, yeah Through The Wall And uh...
64
As soon as.. wait, how did you feel when you first heard it?
65
Alright, when I first heard it, it felt like a 50 Cent song Yeah, dude Like, I mean, alright, I mean by that as a...
66
It was very 2000s Yeah, yeah, it was very...
67
It had that old school vibe That hip-hop old school vibe Um, but it was very catchy
68
And the concept was just so distinct just from the first listen
69
and um yeah like it leaves an impression obviously like yeah
70
and so i felt like it had a hot it had it was very powerful like from the first listen
71
but i was like would this be the right one for our title track like i i was going back and forth
72
but um i'm really glad it ended up with with this
73
song being the title track i mean i think what really completed
74
or like what made me feel so confident was
75
when the lyrics came out like the main theme was bigger yeah like
76
that that's like how many times do you think
77
that comes out in the lyrics that's definitely going to be a question one day
78
but like at least like 20 times yeah yeah i remember thinking like i don't know
79
if this should be the title of the song it's very catchy yeah if you just
80
translate bigger duck it's not that good of a meaning i mean i didn't even know
81
that though honestly i didn't know that it had a negative side to it um
82
and so like we had to vote even
83
and um i think the members for the first time since debut we were we were never really like
84
all nine of us with in one like into one even
85
while choosing the title track there yeah like Usually we don't decide on something like having all nine people,
86
all nine members deciding on that one option We're a democracy, it's usually like Yeah, we go with the majority But for this song we were like,
87
yeah it has to be called BQDOK Why did you want it to be BQDOK?
88
For me, the only reason was BQDOK is a word
89
that once you hear it Yeah dude It's like you instantly remember Same So I mean,
90
that's what you kind of have to go with Yeah But um So what would you say, Beakutok is Like In English?
91
Like, yeah What do you think it means?
92
Beakutok is like Um It's like, how do you say that in English?
93
Wow, I actually don't know It's kind of like if you were
94
While you were walking all of a sudden you hit your knee on the table and then like...
95
No, but like isn't there a word for it?
96
Beekotok?
97
I mean something where like while you're...
98
Like a swagger?
99
No, it's like...
100
No, but like the literal meaning I think...
101
Yo, I never thought of that.
102
If you put it like as an image, it would be like you're walking and then you stub your toe
103
and then you keep on walking and then you're walking with the stub toe
104
that would be like bigotuck in my head anyways yeah it is
105
that image of you walking with that um in
106
that motion i guess yeah wow i never thought of
107
that we need to think of a way to explain this i feel like i just did oh yeah
108
that wasn't that bad but um yeah i mean like it's not it's because like if the walk is
109
You don't just walk, you gotta like...
110
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And um...
111
And one thing that I want to add is that...
112
When we first heard the song, it was just so English.
113
Like through the wall, through the wall.
114
But it was so catchy and I was like, the word that replaces this has to be...
115
Like it's just so important.
116
Yeah.
117
Biggedok was just...
118
And for it to be Korean.
119
Yeah.
120
I was like, this is gonna be a hard job.
121
We were worried about that too But the guy who wrote it
122
And he wrote a lot of our songs for this album particularly
123
But I think he really Shout out to Woochan Shout out to Woochan Well how was the recording? Do you remember?
124
Because you've been recording a lot of songs It was very 정신없어
125
I don't want this to be a meme or anything or anything?
126
A lot of people come up to us saying like, oh, yo, I saw how you and Johnny were talking about is this 일반 city?
127
I did not intend that just now.
128
Like this is, it was very, 정신없어, I didn't intend that.
129
But then the moment I said it, I was like, what this sounds like?
130
No more okay.
131
But, I really don't know how to record the music.
132
But for Be Good Duck, I remember just like, I was like, oh, I'm recording this and I'm recording this.
133
And then when we got the tune monitor, Johnny texted me up saying, Yo, you killed the first verse.
134
I actually didn't have any thoughts on it.
135
But he was like, Yo, you killed the first verse.
136
And I was like, really?
137
And then I got to go listen to it.
138
And then it made me feel good.
139
I remember, I had to, we, everybody doubled your lyrics.
140
After I recorded?
141
I think it was, it was probably after you recorded.
142
And that's, so I kept on listening to it and like while I was listening to it I was like
143
oh yeah and uh in the song I love your ah oh really?
144
I love your eyes yeah I think I'm like like since debut I've been doing
145
so many like ad-libs yeah dude yeah well how did you record?
146
I mean I think I just went in with like the I don't care mindset
147
don't care about a thing yeah like I was like Method young human thing.
148
Oh, oh you were for the song.
149
Yeah That is a good approach.
150
Yeah, and uh, the thing is the song is pretty Pretty energetic.
151
Yeah, is that the right word energetic?
152
It's pretty like hype, but we Especially the the chorus we kind of recorded without like a lot of like strength.
153
I actually V did mine The first time I recorded it, it was pretty weak.
154
Me too.
155
Like the...
156
Ah, it was too weak?
157
It was kind of weak for me, so I had to redo mine.
158
Oh, really?
159
It was kind of airy.
160
You know what I mean?
161
So I don't know, it was like, let's do it again.
162
Yeah, that was the fun part about recording.
163
You know how we were talking about the 50 Cent reference?
164
Yeah.
165
What type of hip-hop old-school songs were you kind of into when you were young?
166
when I was young?
167
Or just like any of your favorite?
168
For me, everything was what was on the radio.
169
For me, that was like...
170
No, but like any...
171
Specifically though, like any hip-hop sound that kind of...
172
No, no, so like what came on the radio for me was what I listened to.
173
KISS FM 103.5, I still remember it.
174
But like when I was growing up, 50 Cent was like super hot.
175
No, I mean, this is kind of a coincidence, but before we even heard about Beekledog, you were kind of into 50 Cent I was, I was Again, you kind of had Yeah,
176
he came up on my feet a lot, so I started listening to him again Yeah, he showed me a lot, like, yeah Yeah, dude, and then as soon as I heard the title track, I was like, oh!
177
This is it I was like, you liked it, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah For me, I don't know why,
178
but Like, I was going to say Eminem Because for me,
179
I think my first hip-hop encounter musically He's like your mentor, no?
180
Yeah, he really was.
181
Especially during my trainee life, my first hip-hop experience musically, that encounter to me was Eminem.
182
But since you said radio, I do want to share my first experience of...
183
I heard Lighters, do you know the song?
184
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
185
Bruno Mars for the first time
186
and i was like i was in new york too
187
and i was like i mean that's not hip-hop
188
but like oh that's right that's what i meant too i was like it's not hip-hop like eminem was hip-hop but like
189
because he said radio i just want to say yeah for some reason i don't know like like
190
that was the first song even before coming to the company
191
that made me want to copy a rap you know yeah i mean i think like
192
when we were young like like it had to be on the radio for like you for
193
Or it to be like a popular song, I guess.
194
Yeah, that was definitely a thing.
195
What if I was in this situation? Which situation?
196
That was the intro.
197
Okay.
198
Oh, it's a corner.
199
What if I were in this situation?
200
This is the corner.
201
In a bit of a difficult time and a difficult time We can't deal with the situation
202
We can't deal with the situation
203
We can't deal with the situation Johnny and Mark are here to help All of you will be here First of all,
204
let's hear it I came to the house in the morning I came to the house with a pair of shoes
205
My husband's job is to sing a song and sing a song, but I can't answer that.
206
I'm going to answer that at the moment.
207
I'm right.
208
I'm right.
209
I'm right.
210
I'm right.
211
I'm wrong.
212
I'm wrong.
213
I'm wrong.
214
I'm wrong.
215
not wrong But it's his fault That's right But I'm afraid of you I'm afraid of you I'm afraid of you
216
I'm afraid of you I think I'm afraid of you I'm afraid of you
217
Or I'm afraid of you I'm afraid of you I think I can't remember it?
218
I think it's a lot I think it's two ways to do it If you're a proud member,
219
or if you're a proud member I think it's a lot I don't know,
220
I'm a proud member I'm a bit like this I would be kind of like,
221
bumbbun Yeah Like, I'd be like I don't know fashion anymore?
222
Like this Right I think it's a popular thing Right So,
223
both of them are kind of I'd like to do it Yeah I mean,
224
yeah, they're having two different colors I mean, they don't have to match all the time First of all, I don't make those kind of mistakes.
225
I just want to say that.
226
Me neither.
227
Alright, next one.
228
I'm walking the road from the 정우. And?
229
I'm walking the road from the 정우.
230

232
Crazy?
233
But when the opponent is not upset, he's a mistake.
234
A mistake.
235
I'm going to find a story for someone who is willing
236
to find out what kind of story is going to be able to read?
237

281
Don't you think I'm cute?
282
Right, but I really need to do that.
283
He's so cute.
284
But the fact that I'm confused is that I'm confused.
285
It's a bit different than the other.
286
It's not salty.
287
I think I would have done this.
288
I would rather have a bad thing.

290
But I don't want to lie to me.
291
I don't want to lie to me.
292
You know what I mean?
293
So I don't want to be like, Yo, it's good.
294
I don't want to say like, I'm glad you mixed it with the sugar though, rather than the salt.
295
I think I'm really honest I'm really honest I'm really honest I'm just like,

I'm a member of the schedule.
336
I'm a public event for a lot of cameras and a lot of people.
337
He's walking in a long way, but he's walking on a long way.
338
He's walking on the ground.
339
He's walking on the ground.

350
Like this kind of thing?
351
Mark is...
352
Mark is being a little bit like a word I don't know if I'm really scared
353
I'm going to get away I think he's going to be a little bit like that Yeah, I think
354
I think I'm going to get away from him I'd rather have to get away from him
355
I think If I get away from him, I think I've been over a lot and I've been over a lot
356
and I've been over a lot and I've been over a lot of people who want to enjoy it.
357
Or I think I've been pushed up.
358
Push up?
359
But I think it's just that I'm not able to do that.
360
Okay.
361
Johnny has a English word for walk.
362

370
What are you going to say?
371

372
What am I looking for?
373
Korean boy band.
374
NCT 127.
375
That's okay.
376
It's been a long time ago, but it's okay.
377
Okay.
378
Big it up.
379
Walk.
380
The work is before and the heart.
381
I hope I hope this is
382
We worked with the We them boys and we were together We them boys The music was so fun
383
Right So I think I think I'm going to play a lot And then I think if I play a lot,
384
I think it's fun I think it's fun to play a lot I think,
385
in this moment, to have Be Good Up come out at this time of our career,
386
in the middle of all of the situations that we're going through, I think it's the perfect song.
387
So I'm actually very excited and I'm really glad that NCT 127 met this song.
388
Yeah. And, um...
389
I believe that there will be a chemistry with this song in the world.
390
I just wanted to say, like, it all kind of, like, added up really well, too.
391
Just, like, the making of the song, too.
392
Yeah.
393
Everything fell in place.
394
Yep. So...
395
Let's go.
396
See?
397

About This Lesson
Ready to level up your English speaking practice? Dive into this lively conversation from the "I WALK Radio" podcast, where hosts Johnny and Mark chat about their new album, favorite songs, and even tackle awkward situations.

Plus, we’ll focus on shadowspeak (shadow speaking) to mimic their tone and rhythm, helping you sound more natural in no time!
Key Vocabulary & Phrases

- Ad libs: Spontaneous, unplanned parts of a performance (e.g., "I love your 'ah!' ad libs.")
- Swagger: A confident, stylish way of walking (e.g., "Is the title about swagger?")
- Airy: Light and breathy (e.g., "My first recording was too airy.")
- Shameless: Unapologetic (e.g., "Act shameless—say it’s a trend!")
Practice Tips for Shadow Speech
This video’s tone is friendly and relaxed, with a moderate speed—ideal for shadowing. Here’s how to practice: 1. Listen once to get the gist. 2. Shadow line by line: Pause after each sentence and repeat, copying their intonation (like Mark’s excited "I’m proud of us!"). 3. Focus on casual phrases like "It’s a good busy" or "I had a feeling"—these are key for natural speaking. 4. Imitate the energy: When they talk about the album, match their excitement! By practicing with this video, you’ll master real-world English and boost your confidence. Remember: shadow speech is all about mimicking—so don’t hold back. Let’s get speaking!

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.
