Shadowing Practice: ROSÉ Needs a Stress Ball While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creating lesson...
1
I don't know what to do!
2
I don't know what to do!
3
One second, one second.
4
Yeah, take your time, take your time.
5
It came back, it came back!
6
Hey, what's going on everybody?
7
For First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Hot Ones.
8
It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings.
9
And today we're joined by Rose.
10
She shattered all kinds of records as a member of Blackpink, one of the best -selling girl groups of all time, and now she's announced her first studio album.
11
Jose, welcome to the show.
12
Yay!
13
Wow, that was a great intro.
14
Thank you.
15
What's going through your head as you prepare to take on the Hot Ones Gauntlet?
16
Are you someone who enjoys a spicy meal?
17
When I eat, like, my food kind of has to be spicy in order for me to feel like I've had a proper meal.
18
So in that case, I should be really good, but I'm not sure how,
19
like, how
20
good I am at eating spicy.
21
I like spicy food, but I don't know if I'm like spicy spicy.
22
I'm ready, I'm ready.
23
I'm actually hungry.
24
"Gonbae" is cheers in Korean.
25
"Gonbae" "Gonbae" Okay.
26
Not spicy at all.
27
Cute.
28
Very cute.
29
I'm interested in hearing more about the lead single, which I understand was inspired by a party game.
30
What's the backstory there and can you teach us how to play the game? Of course.
31
So basically, it's a Korean drinking game called APT.
32
It's one of many drinking games, but that seemed to be the one that all my friends in the studio were vibing to.
33
like, they were like, "Can we do it again?" They were like, "Apate, apate !" And everybody was like chanting it.
34
I was like, "Huh, this is interesting.
35
Why do you guys love this so much?" And so it inspired me to be like, I think we should write like a song on this, 'cause they were so addicted to it.
36
I was really lucky enough to have Bruno jump on it.
37
Craziest experience of my life.
38
And it goes like, so if it's my game, it's my turn to do a random game.
39
It starts with like, Rosie's random game.
40
Game start.
41
And then you go, and everyone puts their hand in the middle.
42
And as we do that in the middle, we're too far away.
43
So let's imagine we stack our hands in the middle above each other, like randomly.
44
I'll call out
45
like a number for example like six
46
so it'd be like one two three four five six and whoever gets on the top Thank you.
47
Okay takes the shot.
48
This is not a shot, this is me.
49
Well cheers to that.
50
Cheers to that.
51
Okay, ghost pepper pear.
52
Pear?
53
I'm guessing a lot of people start thinking like "Yeah, I could do it." And then do they start suffering?
54
Is that like a thing?
55
Right.
56
We kind of lull you into a false sense of security on the show here.
57
But you're going to rock it, I can already tell.
58
I can feel the spice.
59
It's kind of scaring me now.
60
You're prepared.
61
I'm prepared.
62
Songwriters can be very particular about their surroundings and the atmosphere in a studio.
63
How would you describe your ideal conditions for creativity?
64
Mmm, for creativity.
65
I don't want to say this, Amen.
66
But usually when I'm kind of...
67
Like, for me it's been like an experience of like, wow, life has been pretty bad lately.
68
It's always been the best sessions.
69
Because I ended up walking out with a song where I've left all that there, and walked out with a great song.
70
Literally, this album is a representation of my past three to four years, and all the raw and honest emotions that I've never talked about before.
71
It's just like a representation of that, and so it has a lot of my heart breaking stories in there and vulnerable emotions built into it.
72
And so I think that's the beauty of it.
73
That's what I like most about creating is that you can take something not so great into something beautiful.
74
Smoked onion, okay.
75
Mmm.
76
I feel like most of these...
77
It kicks in like kind of after, right?
78
Yeah.
79
Because as I'm taking a bite, it's not that spicy.
80
Right.
81
And then there's a little bit of a time delay.
82
Mm -hmm.
83
Mm -hmm.
84
But I actually think that the second sauce is a little bit spicier than the third.
85
I kind of agree.
86
Mm -hmm.
87
I agree.
88
This has like It's a bit more sweet.
89
Or this is a bit more like a techie. If that's a word.
90
From your perspective, is there an underappreciated element of what makes a music group click?
91
When we had NSYNC on the show, they talked about one of the things that helped them gel early on is
92
that they had a naturally very complimentary vocal range.
93
I think Blackpink, all four of us, like the one thing that hopefully differentiates us as a whole group to others.
94
Or maybe not even differentiates, but like is so strong about Blackpink.
95
is the fact that each one of us, we want such big things for ourselves and we like work so hard every day.
96
I've never seen someone that's like, "I just want to like rest." Like, even if we've said that before, I don't think anyone means that.
97
Blackpink is like really hardworking.
98
you Am I judging this too much?
99
It's not spicy.
100
It's good.
101
Second bites.
102
I'm just trying to keep up with you over here.
103
To what extent do you think a good singing voice is like a talent
104
that you're born with versus a skill that can be developed with enough training and practice?
105
I feel like emotion is something you're born with, an emotional expression.
106
I'd sometimes talk to friends and I'd be heartbroken about their story.
107
And I'd always try to channel into, "I wonder how that would feel like?"
108
And the best way to know that is to embody it and pretend I'm in that situation.
109
And then you learn so much about that emotion.
110
So I think Yeah, that's also something you can work on.
111
It's not like you really have to be born with it.
112
That's more like you pick it up along the way.
113
What's the difference between a singer singing with their chest voice versus singing with their head voice?
114
Ah!
115
Haaa!
116
That's half half.
117
I've set the key too high.
118
Ah That's the difference I guess Thank you.
119
In Korea, Korea is like, has the spiciest.
120
foods.
121
So, I'm built for it.
122
Let's not speak too soon though.
123
Cancel, cancel.
124
It's not too spicy yet.
125
So far so good.
126
Great.
127
As someone who grew up with a dog named Dave, I love extremely human names for pets.
128
You have a dog named Dave?
129
Yeah, growing up my childhood dog was named Dave.
130
Oh my god.
131
My childhood dog was named Toby.
132
So you have like a long history of like extremely human names for pets.
133
I'm guessing.
134
How did Hank come about?
135
Hank was named after Tom Hanks.
136
If you look at my dog, for some reason he just looks like a Hank.
137
He's chic.
138
when I go home I'm like "Hey I miss you !" and he's very like Cool, it's good to see you.
139
You know?
140
So we're a good match because I'm very needy.
141
But Hank is very like, okay.
142
We balance each other out.
143
Yeah, we definitely balance each other out perfect combo in my
144
opinion i don't think i hope he feels the same but he's very like chic he's He's chill.
145
Number six.
146
It looks orange.
147
Okay.
148
I feel it at the end.
149
So the mechanics of becoming a pop star in Korea, they are fascinating.
150
You know, you spend years in these training programs.
151
It almost becomes like an athlete training for the Olympics.
152
How do they tell you that you're going from training to making a debut?
153
Like, is there a phone call?
154
Is there a party?
155
Like, what is that moment?
156
creating music.
157
And then that's when you start slowly knowing.
158
And then it's like one day you wake up and it's just like, us four.
159
and we've created a song, and they give you a date.
160
And they're like, "Now you're going to shoot a video." Is this a sign that my buddy's reacting to the spice?
161
It's all normal here on Hot Ones.
162
I've seen some crazy things on this side of the table, right?
163
So no matter what you go through, don't worry.
164
Like, it's already happened a hundred times on this show.
165
Okay.
166
Well...
167
Oh, Ninja Napalm?
168
I'm starting to enjoy it now Am I crazy?
169
No, I love it.
170
There you go.
171
Do you cry sometimes when you're doing this?
172
Every once in a while a tear comes down, you know, but I don't know if it's the wings or it's the conversation Okay, I have to work harder,
173
you know, it's an emotional rollercoaster I'm curious what kind of calculus...
174
Wow, that's spicy.
175
It's hitting me now.
176
I told you.
177
I told you.
178
Yeah.
179
Like now.
180
Yeah.
181
It just hit me now.
182
Yeah.
183
It has a little bit of a delay on it.
184
Okay.
185
So night gala.
186
Mm -hmm.
187
What kind of calculus goes into creating a fashion moment for an event like that?
188
Mm -hmm.
189
My nose is running again.
190
Mm -hmm.
191
Okay.
192
I'm guessing this is like one of my reactions to spicy food.
193
It's all right.
194
It's just part of the show, you know?
195
Lean into it.
196
Lean into it.
197
I'm gonna go for the milk.
198
Okay, me too.
199
Cheers.
200
Cheers.
201
We did a fitting and we thought it looked great and we went.
202
So it wasn't actually too hard, my one.
203
My experience wasn't as crazy as some other people.
204
There seems to be like such a fluid cultural exchange between Seoul and New York City.
205
I'm curious, is there a fashion trend that has popped off in Korea
206
that you're surprised hasn't made it to the States yet?
207
I think everything's like, cause nowadays social media has linked us so much that we share everything.
208
Notice that out here Korean beauty is so popular in the US and everyone in Korea is taking trends from it, you know out here as well.
209
I need a second.
210
I need to blow my nose.
211
Take your time.
212
I've just noticed...
213
It's a thing It's so cold.
214
It's so cold.
215
I was saying, it hurts my ego.
216
This is hurting my ego.
217
I thought I'd be better at this.
218
Or is he could do better come on?
219
So this next one's the bomb beyond insanity and hot sauce it humbles us all you know really?
220
Humbles us all okay?
221
Okay I think I had the spiciest part.
222
I should have taken it from here, not there.
223
- Right, and it'll be, immediate.
224
You won't really have to wait around for this one.
225
I'm waiting.
226
Respect.
227
I'll wait with - I think for me it hits later or something.
228
Yeah, I think so too by the way.
229
I'll wait around.
230
My tongue is built differently.
231
It's built different.
232
Built different.
233
It's built different. Is it hitting now?
234
It's coming.
235
It's coming.
236
Can you put ice in the milk?
237
Yeah, go for it.
238
Do people do that?
239
Do we have?
240
See that?
241
That's all ice right there, that pitcher.
242
If you want to add ice to the milk.
243
But that's weird, right?
244
No, nothing's weird.
245
I just want cold milk.
246
Nothing's weird.
247
We're just surviving right now, you know?
248
Ah, it's not to get - And then be careful around the eyes,
249
you know, don't touch your eyes.
250
How are you?
251
I...
252
- Yeah.
253
How am I like still standing?
254
Yeah, no, I get it.
255
I get it.
256
It's just you know, uh, As a talk show host, I'm tethered to my format.
257
So I only know one thing and that's just move straight ahead.
258
I'm okay if you're okay.
259
- I can't believe you did 300 of these.
260
I can't.
261
It's attacking me!
262
Is there a dish from Australia that you crave the most when you're missing home?
263
Um, meat pie, mince pie.
264
Meat pie.
265
I miss it.
266
Sausage rolls.
267
Yes.
268
We can bring an ice cream, by the way, if you're interested.
269
Yeah, oh, I saw it.
270
They seal it up.
271
Thank you.
272
We gotcha.
273
It's mental, mental, mental.
274
Right, right.
275
And the ice cream is very...
276
helpful By the way.
277
How you feeling?
278
A bit better.
279
It's really good ice cream.
280
Okay.
281
I'm gonna forget about what just happened.
282
But listen, I know you.
283
When you're down, that's when you make a beautiful song, you know?
284
Maybe hot sauce will be your next inspiration.
285
I'm about to make my next big hit.
286
I'm actually scared.
287
Mommy!
288
Take your time take your time I came back I Why does it feel like the ice cream is getting hotter, but...
289
It's not as cold as it was.
290
A second ago.
291
you It's not ice creaming enough.
292
I think the kick is coming back.
293
Why is it coming back?
294
I don't know.
295
Don't go back!
296
Leave my body!
297
Next one.
298
I can do it.
299
Let's do it.
300
Arbol scorpion.
301
Mm -hmm.
302
Come back.
303
Come back.
304
You go for the least red pie.
305

308
Go ahead, shred it.
309
Tear it up.
310
Nap - napkin never stood a chance.
311
Yeah.
312
Let it out, you know?
313
Do we have my stress ball?
314
Is there a stress ball?
315
Here?
316
Somebody's digging through a bag right now.
317
Hopefully.
318
This is called the squishy, guys.
319
the squishy do you have another one?
320
- Another one?
321
- She's like, another one?
322
- I'm just gonna squish it like three times?
323
- Just squish it, just squish it.
324
It actually helps.
325
There you go.
326
-Wow.
327
-It distracts you.
328
-Yeah.
329
-I think you need a distraction.
330
-I do too.
331
You're right.
332
-This is helping me right now.
333
I can see that.
334
I'm going to-- I'm going to adopt this practice.
335
Do you want to try it?
336
You just squish it away - oh!
337
It helps!
338
It distracts you!
339
It does.
340
- See, this is a mental thing.
341
- It is a mental thing.
342
I need a stress ball.
343
I've never seen anything like this before in my life.
344
A few squishes and I'm actually over it now.
345
I can do the next one.
346
What was the question?
347
Oh, you know, I saw an interesting interview that you did with Baz Luhrmann, right?
348
Yes.
349
And you talked about how your introduction to Elvis was through the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack.
350
Oh my god, yes it was.
351
My sister and I were obsessed with it.
352
Is there a vocal performance in the Disney canon that you find particularly moving?
353
Oh, yeah, there is.
354
Tangled, Rapunzel.
355
I'm obsessed with the movie.
356
I cried on like my 20th watch.
357
When Flynn Rider He's about to die, he says, You were my new dream.
358
I cried so much.
359
And so, I don't know why I'm saying this, My favorite song from that movie is all the songs of that song from that movie.
360
You know what I gotta say?
361
I don't even think I tasted that way.
362
Right?
363
There's something about the stress ball.
364
I think that should be the next thing.
365
You've hacked it.
366
You need to actually add it.
367
What are you doing?
368
Are you going insane?
369
Are you okay?
370
you Amen.
371
you I can't just let you do it.
372
Okay.
373
Now we have the squishy.
374
I dipped it, I dipped it. Are we ready?
375
I'm ready if you're ready.
376
Yeah, sure.
377
I feel like I have to make a speech.
378
Cause I feel like this is gonna kill me.
379
Yeah, cause the floor is yours.
380
Hank, I love you.
381
I love you so much.
382
I hope I can survive this, but if I don't ever see you, I love you.
383
Just know that.
384
And to my number ones, I hope you like the album.
385
Let's go.
386
There we go.
387
That's it with the wings of death.
388
You've made it all the way through the gauntlet, Rosé, and I realize that this is an absurd ask given the circumstances,
389
but we have this ever -growing gallery of Hot Ones guest art,
390
and we would just be so thrilled If you could give us A Wing 10 sketch.
391
Oh wow, wow, wow, okay.
392
Maybe...
393
inspired by your experience with the wings of death.
394
But seriously, why was that most spicy?
395
Whoa!
396
Weird.
397
It's all in the head.
398
It's all in the head.
399
Let me think.
400
Oh my god.
401
My brain's not running anymore.
402
Gotta think, what do I want to draw?
403

404
How do you even draw, are we?
405
Oh my god, I feel like I'm gonna...
406

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.
