JOHNNY's voice, JOHNNY SAYS!
2
Welcome back, everyone.
3
It's really hot out today but I'm actually pretty used to hot weather.
4
Why? It's one of the hottest places out there.
5
I've actually been to Egypt before.
6
So this isn't really a big deal.
7
Today, the people who went to Egypt with me...
8
The reason I say "people" is because they're princes.
9
I brought the princes here today.
10
Over there...
11
I don't know what they're doing.
12
Yeah, one of them is dancing.
13
Princes, please come over here!
14
Okay.
15
- Let's go - Let's go - Oh my God - Yeah, they're coming.
16
Our princes.

18
Come on up.
19

28
Hello, I am the youngest of NCT JISUNG...
29
I'm the youngest of NCT DREAM, JISUNG!
30
You used to be the youngest.
31
It became a habit.
32
But you were the youngest for a few years, right?
33
Like 7 years...? Or 8 years...?
34
That's enough, then We also filmed "The Prince and the Pauper" together Compared to then, now...
35
Do you think we've gotten closer?
36
Oh, definitely. Now that we've spent time together we got close really fast It was the kind of setting where we had to bond Of course, back in Korea, with real life and all we don't keep in touch much Still, with opportunities like this it feels really nice to see each other again Ah, that's nice And while filming content like this this is the first time I've felt so at ease Oh, really?
37
Is that a line you prepared?
38
No, I really...
39
It's just... Today, I didn't...
40
prep at all That's a little cocky...
41
Just kidding, just kidding Anyway, we're at Dongmyo today Have you ever been to Dongmyo...
42
- Have you ever been to Dongmyo? - I've actually never...
43
been here before, I don't think Have you been to Dongmyo?
44
I don't think I have Dongmyo is a place where they sell all kinds of stuff They've got vintage stuff and secondhand stuff Sense...?
45
What did you say?
46
Secondhand What's that in Korean?
47
We call it "used" Oh, used I learned "secondhand" today There's all kinds of stuff, like clothes electronics watches It's really popular these days So, everyone...
48
What do you know about Wakppu Balls?
49
Wakku?
50
Do you know what a Wakppu Ball is?
51
What do you do with the faces...?
52
Do you know Wakppu Balls?
53
Is that actually a real thing...?
54
It is.
55
- Is it called a Wakku ball? - Wakppu Ball Oh, Wakppu Ball.
56
You don't know, right?
57
No... You know squishies, right?
58
Squishies?
59
Like dried sweet potato...?
60
It's kind of...
61
Like a stress ball. A stress ball.
62
with two people who know nothing about trends - we've come to such a trendy place - Nice JOHNNY SAYS is a place where we give advice.
63
Well, I...
64
Let me show you how it works.
65
So, do either of you have any...
66
worries lately?
67
Um... I live alone, and I'm not good at dressing myself.
68
"I can't dress well." When I put on clothes and look in the mirror, is this actually okay...?
69
Can't tell.
70
Ah, but... But I really can't stand people like that.
71
Why are you so...
72
Like, what you wear and whether you look good or not you should be able to tell that much.
73
So how do you do that?
74
To do that, you need to try different looks.
75
Start by finding what really doesn't work.
76
- Like, "This isn't it"? - Yeah.
77
What worries do you have, JISUNG?
78
I'm the type to have a lot of really little, personal worries.
79
I know, I know.
80
Now, if you look up there, you see all those people watching, right?
81
while filming JOHNNY SAYS you've done stuff like that a lot more.
82
Totally. And you're kind of an E, too.
83
for an I, how do you...
84
get more used to this?
85
Let me ask you something first.
86
So... JISUNG...
87
are you even a celebrity?
88
I don't think I'm a celebrity...
89
LOL Well, because in a way it's professional instinct!
90
You need an ON button.
91
Ah, an on-off switch.
92
I'm always ON JISUNG, too...
93
you perform onstage.
94
Are you shy in places like that?
95
I don't think so.
96
Right. try bringing out onstage JISUNG even in places like this.
97
That's practice, too.
98
- I think you're right. - Yeah.
99
Anyway, let's walk around today and do some interviews.
100
let's get some practice.
101
Shall we go?
102

How are you feeling, JISUNG?
106
Are you a little nervous?
107
I mean, I am nervous, but I keep smelling delicious food.
108

Let us know.
269
Trends these days...?
270
Do you film challenges?
271
Nope.
272
Ah, that is a trend these days.
273
I've seen students filming them at theme parks.
274
Ah, there's not much these days.
275
Like... There's this too.
276
There's this too.
277
You're backing away, though. Heh.
278
Come back. I won't do it.
279
Oh, here too.
280
There are a few people here too.
281
Could we get a quick interview...?
282
Sure! Come on over.
283
Could you give us a quick introduction?
284
I'm Kim Su Yeon, 30 this year.
285
Thirty. I'm Yeom Hye Jin, and I also turned 30 this year.
286
How was it before turning 30?
287
Were you a little nervous?
288
Not nervous—more like hopelessness I also was overthinking things a lot but the moment I turned 30!
289
It was no big deal, right?
290
Actually, there is one thing What is it?
291
All at once...!
292
I lost three things What? Oh my God That's so sad What three things did you lose at 30?
293
First: I can't walk well Can't?
294
I can't really talk anymore I can't speak well, either I lost my memory I lost my memory I can barely remember what happened yesterday...
295
It gets worse in stages at 30 But it's okay Why? Why is it okay?
296
I... can't remember things even now I'm 25 That's a little serious...?
297
So what do you do for work...?
298
I'm...! An elementary school teacher I seriously respect you...
299
What are elementary school kids like these days?
300
I think kids these days pick up internet culture so fast that they're more mature than you'd expect I'm pretty young myself but compared to back then, kids definitely seem...
301
like they should have better manners...
302
Do kids bring Wakppu Balls and stuff?
303
To school? They bring squishies and keycaps When I see them I take them away - Take them? - Yeah Oh, then - You give it back...? - Right, right.
304
You give it back when you go home...?
305
After the kids leave I take mine out.
306
- Oh, you have one too? - I have one of my own.
307
So, you two, what are you worried about?
308
I've been so low on energy lately.
309
Do you work out at all?
310
I used to enjoy working out, but lately, it's been too much work... hehe You really should work out...
311
Working out... supplements...
312
Even supplements are too much work.
313
No willpower, huh.
314
That's the problem.
315
I have no willpower.
316
Well... Don't you want to travel or something?
317
But even that's too much work.
318
Are you an ISFP, by any chance?
319
INFP INFP?
320
Oh, you're an INFP?
321
JISUNG, when you're feeling too lazy, how do you get over that laziness?
322
Do you know any tricks?
323
Everything in this world is predetermined Right, it all goes according to fate...
324
But I have this urge to defy it.
325
So if it's predetermined that I'll skip the gym today I go anyway just to defy it.
326
Then that's your fate.
327
Well... It could be. It could be, but If I get my butt up and stand that was predetermined and if I don't, that was predetermined too.
328
You actually think like that?
329
Yeah. Don't you want to defy it somehow?
330
If I defy it, that's my fate If I can't, that's my fate.
331
The fact that I should start working out now if that's fate Oh, if it's fate...?
332
That'd be great Oh, but I have no willpower Can we interview you two for a sec?
333
- Oh, sure - Please come over here Could you hold the mic for us?
334
Uh...?
335
What did you drink? What did you eat?
336
I had a 1,000-won toast right in front of there It must be next to our coffee shop Could you briefly introduce yourselves?
337
We're high school sophomores from Chuncheon Chuncheon, Gangwon Province...?
338

I broke through my own wall.
436
getting into fashion...
437
isn't easy, right?
438
it's not easy.
439
JISUNG said he'd pick out clothes for you.
440
When you're picking clothes for someone else, you pay more attention to it...!
441
What clothes did JISUNG pick out for you?
442
I picked out two short-sleeved shirts.
443
And with the pants I'm wearing right now, when I matched them, they looked pretty good.
444
They're my favorite colors.
445
- Oh, really? - Oh, is that so?

483
because I know Yohan works out.
484
Something a little tight.
485
It's stretchy, so it'll be comfy to wear... right?
486
And looking at you today, this color looks really good on you.
487
Sometimes...
488
Kind of like Thom Browne, right?
489
I picked something that doesn't suit you.
490
You didn't mean this, did you? LOL Because I need to try it on and realize it really doesn't suit me so I never buy stuff like this again.
491
Were you in that much of a rush?
492
No, I really bought it with that in mind.
493
Really?

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.
