Shadowing Practice: [SUB] 말시키면 귀빨개지는 데뷔 5개월차 | EP. 126 코르티스 마틴 건호 | 살롱드립 - Learn English Speaking with Video

But you know, I was watching your other content and it seems like you guys really love to mess with MARTIN.

Well... He just gives the best reactions.

Hah... It's just fun to push his buttons.

It shows so clearly on his face.

Once you land a hit on him you can just see him start to deflate.

My throat's getting a little dry.

Is that right? So MARTIN, what's your take?

He's just cute.

He called you cute.

It's so cute watching these two talk.

Jang Do Youn's Salon Drip Hello.

From culture, art, philosophy to back-talking and rumors!

Those who want to get chatty, come on over!

This is Salon Drip!

All right, our guests for today...

they are the breakout stars!

The voice of Gen Z.

It's MARTIN and KEONHO of CORTIS!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Ah...

GO! GO!

Whoa, this is far!

Get low? Like a gorilla?

- Should we? - Let's do it?

If you do it, I'll do it!

Are you doing a gorilla impression?

What on earth is happening?

Hello!

Hello.

Wow, you must be exhausted.

You danced all the way from the end of that long hallway!

- It was way longer than I thought... - I... My... Yeah...

It looked shorter on screen...

Oh, really?

Do you two have an official greeting you'd like to do?

- Oh, yes! We do! - Ah, yes!

We'd like to say hello.

One, two, three!

Hello! We are CORTIS!

I'm MARTIN, the leader of CORTIS!

The... uh... um, yeah!

And I'm the youngest, KEONHO!

It's a pleasure to be here.

Why'd you get stuck there for a second?

Were you about to say you were MARTIN too?

Uh, because he's not really the youngest anymore...

- He's not the youngest anymore. - Yes, I am!

Wait, you are?

Oh, right! Your birthday already passed!

- Mine hasn't yet... - Yours hasn't passed yet.

So... you guys have this sorted out, right?

You came here as the youngest, and...

Yes, I came as the youngest.

Please, choose your welcome drinks.

Thank you. Whew.

Did your pants slide down while you were dancing?

Or are you wearing them low?

They're on properly, right?

The waist is just a little... big...

Should I pull mine down a bit, too?

Haha, tugging at their pants.

Omija for you, and for you, KEONHO?

You went with the Mogu Mogu.

May I ask why you chose those particular drinks?

Well, for me...

You guys stand up in front of the camera for everything you do. Haha.

Oh! Oh!

- Isn't this how we're supposed to do it? - No, no, you're right.

Yes, that's it. You're doing it perfectly.

So you chose the omija berry tea?

I heard omija... is good for longevity...

That's right.

I want to live for a long time.

An excellent choice.

And your reason for choosing the Mogu Mogu?

Um... the Mogu Mo...gu!

Craving something sweet?

I don't usually drink it so I picked it to give it a try!

Your leader next to you just suggested, "Craving something sweet?" - It's not really that. - He looked like he was struggling.

You're sticking to your guns.

- Yeah, just being honest. - I see.

All right, please have a seat.

- Okay! - Okay!

You can pour them into the cups.

Huh? What's this?

We... We wanted to... give you a gift...

This is our album.

How cool.

This is so nice.

It's called a CORTIS Ball.

It's sort of like our merch.

Wow, the quality is amazing.

A piercing?

The earrings you wear look so good on you, so...

It's right here.

It's on the plushie's cheek, too.

But it doesn't normally come with one!

Really? Wow, it's really there.

100

Thank you so much.

101

No, thank you.

102

- Thank you for having us. - Not at all.

103

Well, since you two brought gifts...

104

I couldn't come empty-handed either.

105

I brought something amazing.

106

With Valentine's Day coming up, I brought the latest Gen Z trend, Pop Mart keychains.

107

Hirono and...

108

the Labubu Mini.

109

We also have the Twinkle Twinkle series.

110

Wow, even the case is cool.

111

I've never seen these.

112

This is so cool.

113

We have Pop Mart blind boxes right here.

114

Since there are three of us let's each pick one from a different series.

115

You two go first.

116

- Sssip! - Sssip!

117

- Hooo! - Hooo!

118

Seeing you take this so seriously makes it all worth it.

119

I think I'll go with this... Hirono one.

120

I'll pick this.

121

KEONHO? Twinkle Twinkle.

122

In that case, I'll go with this one.

123

It would be great if we got one of these three, right?

124

Ooh! What do you think you'll get?

125

Is there one you're hoping for?

126

I'm hoping for...

127

Puppy's Love!

128

What does Puppy's Love look like?

129

- Oh, that's cute. - I have a dog.

130

What's your dog's name?

131

Cookie.

132

Let's see.

133

Wow, even the packaging is so elaborate.

134

I'd be so happy to get one of these.

135

Isn't that the one you wanted?

136

You got the one you wanted!

137

- Oh? You're right! - Oh...

138

Congratulations.

139

You must be over the moon right now.

140

Yeeeah! Because he got the one he wanted I think even he can't believe it.

141

This one is cute, too.

142

Yeah, it is.

143

It is cute.

144

But this one is pretty cute, too.

145

It's cute. If only I had gotten the one I wanted...

146

I really...

147

I like things that are black and chic.

148

Well then...

149

I heard Valentine's Day is also your birthday, KEONHO.

150

Oh, that's right.

151

- Oh, you knew? - Of course. So, to celebrate how about we all pick one more?

152

- Ooooh. - Another one?

153

Sounds good.

154

A little birthday celebration.

155

That's right.

156

This time, I'll...

157

Mind if I go with this one?

158

- Hirono. - Yep.

159

Then I'll take...

160

The Labubu Mini?

161

- Then I'll take Twinkle Twinkle. - Perfect.

162

If I get the black one this time then in 2026....

163

I'm going to have a great year!

164

Will I get the one I'm hoping for?

165

You must be destined for a great year!

166

There's such a rush when you get the one you wanted.

167

Even though it was my second try.

168

To be honest, I was planning on picking until I got this one...

169

So it all worked out. It all worked out.

170

Should I clip it to my pants?

171

Clipping it on your pants looks cool.

172

Do people clip them to their pants these days?

173

You don't usually do it with a formal suit, right?

174

It's a statement piece!

175

That side looks cute.

176

These Pop Mart keychains are perfect for the Valentine's Day season.

177

They're a simple, thoughtful gift so we'll be giving all of these away to our subscribers in a big giveaway!

178

Thank you.

179

You guys have such great reactions.

180

Thank you. I heard the average age of CORTIS was 17.

181

- Ah, yes, that's right! - Oh, yes, that's right!

182

Then, if you don't mind me asking how old are you two?

183

Born in 2008!

184

So I'll be a senior in high school.

185

My goodness...

186

I was born in 2009 so I'm 17.

187

Oh, my word.

188

- Hehehehe! - Hehehe!

189

Goodness me.

190

Our oldest member was born in 2005!

191

Born in 2009, 2008...

192

I was 2007!

193

Debuted in 2007!

194

I debuted in 2007.

195

Pretty similar, right?

196

So, how should we... What should I call you?

197

I heard nowadays it's common to add "-nim" to names.

198

Is that the standard way to address people?

199

It is! But if you're more comfortable, Do Youn - you can just speak casually. - In that case using "-ssi" feels too distant...

200

We're just babies to you!

201

So I'll just call you MARTIN and KEONHO, okayy?

202

Yes, that's great.

203

That "okayy?" at the end...

204

- I already sound like an old lady. - Hehe...

205

And you two can feel free to call me "Sunbaenim" or if you want to go American style you can just say "Do Youn." Or...

206

my English name is Giant so you can call me Giant, too.

207

I actually have a nickname, "Giant," too!

208

You do? I'm the group's official selfie stick!

209

Right, you're both incredibly tall.

210

Yes, I'm about 190cm...

211

- 190cm? - Yes.

212

In the comedy world they basically call me 190cm, too.

213

It's nice to meet a fellow giant.

214

So, what brings you here today?

215

We're not actually in a promotion cycle but this is a show we've always wanted to be on.

216

So on a normal day, would you be taking a day off? Or working on music?

217

Exactly. Today's just another day of prepping for our second album.

218

So you're really not promoting?

219

A proof of life appearance?

220

Just letting everyone know you're doing well.

221

Seriously, so many people around me have been talking about CORTIS lately.

222

But from our perspective...

223

ever since you debuted your career path seems to be going so smoothly.

224

We see it and think, "That's amazing." But for you guys being labeled as "BTS's brother group" was stamped on you from the start.

225

It must have been so much pressure and so nerve-wracking. What was it like?

226

You're right. To be honest the pressure was immense...

227

But we got a lot of advice from them and as we watched and learned we felt we had to be just as successful and make it big.

228

That's what drove us.

229

Recently we ran into j-hope at the company and he treats us so casually.

230

Like we're his little brothers!

231

"Hey, you look like you've gotten taller." "MARTIN, you haven't grown, have you?" That sounds like a typical Thanksgiving family gathering.

232

Yeah, it really feels like seeing a cousin you haven't seen in a long time.

233

- I thought I wasn't supposed to be seen... - Oh, no.

234

You can do it on top of the table.

235

I'm so sorry.

236

You guys are so pure.

237

So, MARTIN I heard you were already making a name for yourself as a composer before you debuted.

238

I'm so honored and grateful that the company saw how hard I was working on my music and they asked "MARTIN, do you want to try composing?" - They asked you first? - Yeah, and our producer said that even if it didn't make the final cut I would still learn a lot from it!

239

So I said, "I'll give it my all." That's when I got to work on TXT's song, "Deja Vu." And around that time, ILLIT was debuting so I also worked on "Magnetic." It was such an honor to be part of their debut album.

240

- And it did so well! - Yes! It did so well, honestly I was really surprised.

241

It's all thanks to them. They sang it so beautifully.

242

But when a song does this well something naturally follows.

243

There's the fame... and the satisfaction but there are also the royalties, right?

244

How's that been?

245

That's the biggest smile I've seen from you all day.

246

Well... at first...

247

my mother was managing them for me.

248

You need someone to manage them.

249

I got a call from my parents and they said, "Do you know how much you made in royalties this month?" And when they told me the amount I just...

250

I started crying.

251

I really did.

252

KEONHO, what was it like from your view?

253

Is MARTIN different on the days his royalties come in?

254

Can you tell, like "Ah, looks like payday was today!"?

255

As soon as you walk into our dorm there's a spot where all the packages pile up.

256

And he's just there...

257

giggling like this, and then he grabs them and starts ripping them open.

258

And suddenly he's decked out in all these designer brands. That's when we know. "Ah, okay." "So that's what today is." They're all like that too.

259

So I heard that for both of you, to join BIGHIT your older sisters played a huge role?

260

That's right.

261

We're the only two members - who have older sisters. - That's right.

262

I actually got cast in third grade.

263

- In elementary school? - Yeah.

264

At the time, I was really focused on swimming.

265

Right, swimming.

266

I saw you have a ton of medals.

267

Oh... What were you doing in third grade when you got scouted?

268

I was sitting at a bus stop and someone came up to me.

269

They asked, "Hey... do you know BTS?" and after that at first...

270

I didn't think much of it even after getting the business card.

271

Because back then it was all about swimming for you?

272

Yeah! So then...

273

As soon as I told my mom she and my sister got so excited!

274

Like, "My son got scouted by BIGHIT!" But even then, I was still really torn between the two paths.

275

If you had been swimming your whole life this industry would have been a completely different world.

276

Yeah, that's why my sister taught me how to dance!

277

- What? - My sister used to do ballet and she did a lot of hip-hop and stuff.

278

What dance did she teach you?

279

At the very beginning I learned "GANGNAM STYLE." - Later on... - It's a classic.

280

Later on she taught me BTS's "Dynamite." What's funny is, I didn't know this but my sister taught me how to dance, too.

281

Really? What kind of dances?

282

There were TWICE songs and...

283

Girls' Generation songs, too.

284

But now, I think...

285

I might be a little better than her?

286

Do your sisters ever say it?

287

Like, "I contributed to your success." "Don't forget what I did for you." - Oh, all the time! - Oh, all the time!

288

She'll text me, "I raised you." She even has me saved as "Son" in her phone.

289

Your sister does?

290

She worries about me the most in the whole family.

291

Whenever I go home for a visit my mom and dad are both fine but my sister will suddenly start crying because her little brother is home.

292

That happens a lot.

293

Yeah. In that video what was so heartwarming was that even though you couldn't see her face you could tell just from her voice.

294

She must be so proud and happy for you.

295

She said, "I think I'm going to cry," and then when KEONHO gave an awkward laugh she said, "You're laughing?" That was funny.

296

But you know...

297

the less you see each other the closer you get, I think.

298

How should I put it?

299

A little distance is important, and also - absence makes the heart grow fonder. - Exactly.

300

Since you're living far apart when you do talk...

301

- "How are you?" - Right, you only use kind words.

302

You only say nice things to each other.

303

Since you were both coming on the show I was doing some research and among the promotional posts there was one that was so heartwarming but it also made me chuckle a little.

304

I think your father's friend posted it.

305

My father's friend?

306

My dad has... friends?

307

He said, "My dad has friends?" Try to jog your memory.

308

"CORTIS, who just debuted!" "The youngest, AN KEONHO!" "My friend's son is so handsome!" "He must take after his mom. There's no way he got those looks from my friend." Right there with a picture of KEONHO.

309

- I saw that! - You did?

310

My mom saw it and said "That's so true!" "You turned out well because you look like me!" And my dad... well...

311

he didn't really reply.

312

So in your opinion, do you look more like your mom or your dad?

313

Me? I think I get my eyes and eyebrows from my mom and my jawline from my dad.

314

- So it's half and half. - Yeah.

315

But honestly, I think my dad's star power is pretty incredible too.

316

He's no joke.

317

There's a video where we all get video messages from our families it's part of our content and my dad said something like, "KEONHO from now on, let's walk the flower road..." "and the money road." He even suddenly started singing.

318

My dad actually...

319

auditioned for a national singing competition.

320

He didn't make it on the show but I think he passed the first or second round.

321

Really? He at least gave it a shot.

322

Wow, I didn't know that story.

323

- Is this the first you're hearing this? - Yeah! First time.

324

So that talent must run in your blood.

325

What about you, MARTIN? Do you have stories like that?

326

Like your parents bragging "MARTIN gets that from me"?

327

My mother and father, they both kind of...

328

They used to fight about this a lot!

329

"MARTIN gets his singing talent from me!" - Both of them? - Both of them.

330

My father used to say that he was in a band!

331

He'd say, "His musical sense comes from me." You all come from a family of artists.

332

I once suggested we try a really big project.

333

I said I wanted to form a band together!

334

- With the CORTIS members? - Yeah.

335

So everyone would pick an instrument.

336

Bass guitar JAMES on drums SEONGHYEON on keyboard JUHOON on vocals.We could do something like that.

337

But none of us can actually play an instrument properly...

338

Right... So it's just the desire to be in a band without the ability?

339

Exactly! It seems like you have this dream that's been passed down from your father.

340

Something about it...

341

I can feel it in my DNA.

342

"MARTIN, it has to be a band." "I have to be in a band." Heh heh...

343

It's a future that could really happen!

344

- For real. - It... could happen but it might not happen!

345

You never know!

346

Like, maybe after we retire and we've all let ourselves go we suddenly come back one day as a band.

347

How long has it been since you debuted?

348

Not even a year yet...

349

- Retirement is a long way off. - It is.

350

But you know, I was watching your other content and it seems like you guys really love to mess with MARTIN.

351

Well... He just gives the best reactions.

352

Heh... It's just fun to push his buttons.

353

It shows so clearly on his face.

354

Once you land a hit on him you can just see him start to deflate.

355

My throat's getting a little dry.

356

And... his face gets really red.

357

True. He's really bad at hiding it.

358

I think so!

359

I think it's been red this whole shoot.

360

I get red when I'm nervous...

361

And the more we talk about it the redder he gets...

362

Is that right? So MARTIN, what's your take?

363

He's just cute.

364

He called you cute.

365

- He's cute. - Thank you.

366

It's so cute watching these two talk.

367

I wanted to ask you something.

368

In your song "FaSHioN," there's a lyric.

369

Oh! What do you think I'm gonna say?

370

The "AN KEONHO..." line!

371

"AN KEONHO, no matter what you say about my clothes I hold my ground." That's based on a true story and it's still happening now.

372

How does it happen?

373

So, I bought a new pair of pants.

374

At the time, I liked that baggy slouchy fit.

375

I was like, "Dude, aren't these so baggy?" I was looking at myself in the mirror and AN KEONHO walks by and says, "Not at all." To be exact, I said "They're not baggy at all." And then he just walked out!

376

So that just stuck in my head so much...

377

It got to me!

378

So I thought, I have to use this in a lyric.

379

"This is it." The very next day, I went to the studio.

380

When I first wrote the lyrics there were actually...

381

several different versions.

382

- What was it? - "AN KEONHO..." - So it always started with "AN KEONHO"? - Yep.

383

The original demo sounded kind of like, "I'm gonna..." It was my verse, something like "I'm gonna," and we thought "Let's change it to Korean!" because - there was too much English. - Wow!

384

"AN KEONHO" just rolled off the tongue.

385

So with "AN KEONHO"...

386

The first draft was "AN KEONHO's pants..." "I stole them and sold them." "That's my side hustle!" Yeah, that's right.

387

Whoa, that makes you sound like a scammer.

388

Right, I was worried people would get the wrong idea!

389

So that's why I changed the lyrics to be a bit safer.

390

But! Based on the lyrics, it sounds like someone who's really sure of themselves.

391

"I hold my ground," right?

392

But? He couldn't stick to it?

393

He couldn't stick to his style...

394

It seems like he gets swayed really easily.

395

So he's not that sure of himself.

396

Okay, I'll admit it!

397

He says, "I'll admit it" so coolly but you don't look very cool right now.

398

Do you two talk about clothes a lot?

399

Oh, yeah! We both love clothes!

400

So where do you usually go when you go shopping for clothes?

401

No matter where we go we always check out the vintage shops.

402

That's right. No matter what country we're in.

403

In Japan, at first we went to...

404

the high-end shopping district...

405

But we couldn't bring ourselves to go inside any of the stores...

406

We just kind of...

407

"How much is this?" "Ah, okay..." "And this one here?" "Ah, okay..." "So this is the going rate for these." That's all you did?

408

We'd walk in acting like we were rolling in money.

409

The staff would say, "Welcome," and we'd be like MARTIN: Hello there.

410

We'd go in, take a look, and go, "Hmm!" "We'll be back next time," and leave.

411

So, within the group who's the most fashionable member?

412

Who do you think has the best style?

413

I'll buy you dinner.

414

- Did you just say, "I'll buy you dinner?" - No.

415

What was just exchanged between you two?

416

Personally I'd say MARTIN!

417

is second to JAMES.

418

Aww... that's too bad.

419

Even dinner couldn't buy his vote...

420

JAMES really has his own distinct style.

421

He's very sure of himself.

422

So, where does our MARTIN rank in the group?

423

- Hmmm... - It's petty, I know, but...

424

Maybe...

425

Maybe...

426

Third place?

427

Or lower? Heh...

428

Okay, I think that's enough for today.

429

So MARTIN, what kind of younger brother is KEONHO to you?

430

Hah... I don't know if I should say this.

431

A whiner. Now that's a given.

432

The youngest is supposed to be a whiner.

433

When does he whine like that?

434

When we're picking what to eat!

435

I don't... I don't whine...

436

He acts like such a baby!

437

- Hold on! - What does he do?

438

He always insists on getting pizza...

439

Me and the other guys, not the other guys JUHOON and the older one we're like, "We'll eat anything!" In fact, JAMES is so mature he just orders for himself!

440

But for us, JUHOON is also a little stubborn sometimes but he usually gives in.

441

But KEONHO and SEONGHYEON, those two bicker back and forth while picking.

442

But earlier, you said there are two youngest members. Why were you confused about who's the youngest?

443

He unfortunately became the youngest by just one month.

444

- Because of your birthdays? - Yeah.

445

Honestly, SEONGHYEON was born in January so he's basically a year older in school.

446

So we're friends and this guy, at the end of the day is only a month younger so we're all just like friends.

447

So you're all pretty close in age.

448

But are there times when it's tough even as a joke?

449

- "Hey, youngest, stay out of this." - From the older guys?

450

Yeah, sometimes...

451

I think they like to use the "youngest card." When we're planning a music video and someone has to be the one to organize and send the ideas they'll say, "The youngest should do it!" and pass it to me.

452

Of course the youngest should do it!

453

What else? What else do they make the youngest do?

454

Well... Set the table, get the utensils get water!

455

Hey, when have I ever said that!

456

Dude.

457

I'm the one who sets out all the spoons and chopsticks!

458

It's cold, so give me your jacket!

459

You're making me look like...

460

I mean... Really?

461

I have never done that.

462

I'm a good hyung.

463

I'm a good hyung.

464

I treat him so well.

465

I'm just kidding.

466

Well, that's why he can joke about it.

467

- Aww, you finished all your omija tea. - It's all gone!

468

- You can have more if you want. - Oh, really?

469

Maybe in a little bit...

470

It's okay. You're both so unspoiled.

471

I feel like I'm talking to two innocent young men.

472

So are you two living in a dorm now?

473

- Yes, that's right. - Yes, all five of us live together!

474

MARTIN, SEONGHYEON, and me.

475

And then JAMES and JUHOON.

476

So you two are roommates?

477

- That's right. - Yeah.

478

We kind of split up based on our personalities.

479

JAMES and JUHOON's room is a bit quieter but the three of us...

480

We're the rowdy room!

481

Our room basically extends into the living room.

482

Since those two don't use it.

483

What do you guys do at home?

484

JAMES is always like this...

485

He puts on his headphones and gets lost in his own world and he always watches the same podcast.

486

I don't know which one it is but he watches the same one every day...

487

And then he'll suddenly laugh by himself!

488

- Hehehe. - Hahaha.

489

Hehehehe. He'll make himself some steamed eggs...

490

Hehehehe.

491

It's kind of like watching my dad on the weekend.

492

- JAMES is? - Just by himself like that.

493

So, have you discovered any strange habits about each other while living together?

494

Sometimes I'll see him and he's sleeping in a really sultry pose.

495

A sultry pose? What does that look like?

496

It's like...

497

this. That looks like a Vogue pose.

498

I guess he sleeps pretty freely.

499

So what about KEONHO? Does he have any?

500

I don't know if it's a habit I think it's more of a personality trait but he's a really light sleeper!

501

He doesn't know it but when I open the door like this even if I open it super slowly so it doesn't make a sound he'll suddenly bolt upright!

502

He'll look at me once and then lie back down.

503

So I'm always like, whoa.

504

I honestly don't remember doing that.

505

See, he says he doesn't remember!

506

- You don't remember it? - Nope.

507

But I do think I don't sleep very well.

508

I get sleep paralysis a lot!

509

I've had it happen like five times in a row before.

510

So I thought, "Is it because of where my bed is?" So we even tried moving his bed around.

511

And? It still happens!

512

So then I thought "Maybe it's the dorm?" We did move dorms once!

513

Not because of him... it was just the right time.

514

Aww, how thoughtful.

515

But even then, it kept happening.

516

But at this point, I'm kind of used to it.

517

Maybe you should take some magnesium?

518

Magnesium? Is it because you're still growing? Could that be it?

519

You're both still growing, right?

520

I'm actually still getting taller!

521

I think I've stopped.

522

He can't get any taller...

523

I feel the exact same way.

524

Honestly, I never thought I'd get this tall!

525

- Who? You? - Yeah...

526

I thought I'd stop at exactly 183cm...

527

Because my predicted height was 183cm.

528

But I suddenly shot up to 190cm.

529

Such a gentleman!

530

When we take pictures, he stands like this.

531

Only MARTIN does this.

532

No, there was this one time when we first debuted.

533

On a show we did right after debuting my outfit included these pants with a really weird shape.

534

Even if you stood with your legs straight it looked like they were slightly bent.

535

Right, I've seen a lot of pants like that lately.

536

There are pants like that. But then in the comments people were like "MARTIN's manner legs... That's insane!" And, "MARTIN must be such a nice guy..." And that was right after we debuted but actually, my legs were perfectly straight!

537

But that's just how it comes out in pictures.

538

Honestly I think I grew because of Tenten! Seriously.

539

That could be it. I ate a lot of Tenten, too.

540

I think it had a pretty big effect!

541

They don't just write "Growth and Development" for no reason.

542

It's written in huge letters.

543

It says "Growth and Development" right there in big letters.

544

So it's Ma-Tenten.

545

Ma-Tenten. So you two, it seems like you must have gone through your rebellious phases together.

546

Oh yeah, we fought a lot!

547

You've really been together since you were kids.

548

- Yeah, that's right. - I mean, you're still kids now.

549

But actually, the two of us didn't really...

550

- We didn't fight. - We didn't fight.

551

We have similar personalities.

552

In that case...

553

which members did you butt heads with?

554

- Me and SEONGHYEON? - Me and SEONGHYEON?

555

So, both of you with SEONGHYEON.

556

We both have similar personalities. We think a lot and we kind of need time alone.

557

If we fight with someone or things get awkward then...

558

SEONGHYEON is completely the type where if he's angry he expresses it right away.

559

He's the type to be direct and talk it out right away.

560

But we're not like that.

561

Honestly, we fight the most when we're working on stuff.

562

All five of us...

563

are incredibly stubborn!

564

But through that fighting we often come up with the best ideas.

565

Recently, while planning a music video the atmosphere got really awkward for a bit.

566

- Because you couldn't agree on ideas? - Yeah...

567

Who was it between?

568

- Who was it? - Everyone!

569

There was a time when everyone was on a different page.

570

Everyone just had completely different ideas.

571

So how did you resolve it?

572

As we sorted through the ideas for the meeting we naturally made up.

573

We don't really say "I'm sorry..." We're not really like that. Heh.

574

None of that mushy stuff.

575

Since you were coming on, I did a bit of research and there was this one thing.

576

There was a video that made me think "Is this really okay for an idol group?" What topic do you think it was?

577

The topic? On this topic you guys talked about it so openly so that surprised me.

578

And at the end, I think it was MARTIN who said "Hey, let's stop talking about this now." What topic could that be?

579

Waxing. I think I was the one who started it and he was the one who stopped it.

580

From the moment it came up, I knew "We're definitely going to get in trouble with the company for this..." But if I suddenly cut it off?

581

It would be even weirder!

582

So I was like, okay then.

583

- Let's act like it's no big deal. - Let's just talk about it.

584

I've gotten waxed, too!

585

I'm actually a pretty hairy person...

586

I don't think even the company saw that coming.

587

That we would talk about waxing...

588

But hey, it's not like it's forbidden.

589

Waxing isn't a crime.

590

What can he do? He was born that way.

591

Have you been like that since you were a kid?

592

If I didn't remove it, I'd have a lot right here.

593

Anyway, to our fans who keep watching...

594

Thank you for not leaving us...

595

I mean, that could be a dealbreaker, right?

596

Come on! Why would that be a dealbreaker?

597

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you.

598

Thank you. So, from our conversation today is there anything you said where you're thinking, "Ah, I shouldn't have said that"?

599

Something you think you'll regret in the car on the way home?

600

Actually, today was so much fun...

601

- Today was okay? - It was so much fun.

602

Right now... I don't feel nervous anymore.

603

You're not nervous anymore?

604

What do we do? We're done...

605

My nerves went away a while ago.

606

Great. Then all we have left is the Salon4Cut photo booth and then you can go home.

607

A basic V-sign? Okay, I'll do a basic V-sign.

608

One, two, three.

609

This is something I learned. Mochi peace sign?

610

Mochi peace sign.

611

- Do you know it? - Is that... a thing?

612

I don't really know it.

613

- It's kind of a cute pose? - One, two, three.

614

Ring finger, got it. One, two, three.

615

And for the last one does KEONHO have a favorite pose?

616

My favorite pose?

617

Should we do this one?

618

Thanks, guys.

619

One, two, three.

620

That's it.

621

Thank you for everything today!

622

The human Dubai Chewy Cookie, Kwak Beom and the dopamine thief, Kim Ji You!

623

To be perfectly honest TEO did me wrong once.

624

Hwang Je Seong called me.

625

"TEO is making a new show with some up-and-coming stars!" Wow! TEO?

626

So I gave it my all. Took my shirt off went crazy.

627

But it still hasn't been uploaded.

628

What? We filmed for six hours all over Sangam-dong!

629

When I read the comments, I see that the relationship balance game has a lot of fans.

630

Apparently, there are a lot.

631

I used to be on the side of "guys and girls can be just friends." Oh, but?

632

But after watching so much of this I'm starting to reconsider my stance.

633

No, this is what I'm so frustrated about...

634

I'm completely on the side of guys and girls being friends.

635

Because I have so many guy friends who are genuinely just friends!

636

But people just don't get it...

637

What's the furthest you've gone with a guy friend?

638

That question itself implies that they can't be friends...

639

No, what I mean is, I don't feel any romantic attraction to my guy friends!

640

When I look at him I can't even hold his hand!

641

Well, holding hands is...

642

A friendship hand? I can do that.

643

A friendship hand is okay?

644

Friendship hand.

645

Then what about, "Ji You!" like this?

646

Yeah, that's fine! It's just rubbing.

647

- A friendship rub! - A friendship rub is okay?

648

Yeah, everything's fine.

649

To get warm.

650

So you can get warm.

651

At this rate, you'll be having a friendship wedding soon!

652

When your skin touches, it gets warm!

653

So my friend doesn't die.

654

My precious friend.

655

I was so sure, but because of you I'm starting to waver.

656

This will air, right?

657

- You have to promise me this one. - I'm suspicious.

658

This one is really going to air, right?

659

So, the reason there are no love songs on your first album, is it because you guys have no experience?

660

- That's right. - Was that an inappropriate question?

661

Actually, we really want to write a love song!

662

But! We're worried no one would be able to relate to it at all...

663

There's nothing to write about!

664

There are no stories to tell. Heh...

665

I guess we could watch a movie and try to write something...

666

So when... a love song finally comes out we'll know "Ah, so they've finally experienced it..." Or maybe later on, after watching a good movie we'll just think "Ah, you must have been inspired." Since you have a lot of fans...

667

Thank you for today. Have a good one!

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.
