The one who stole my heart, our little thunder tiger. We adore you, MONSTIEZ's superstar.
Speaker A
Hakuna Matata, today's host and final member. The day I've been waiting for. Welcome to Spotify, the smartest Spotify record completed by BABYMONSTER.
Speaker A
Connecting right now. Back with the 3rd Mini Album "CHOOM", welcome BABYMONSTER! [Faces of the next generation with limitless spectrum] Everyone looks so pretty today.
Speaker A
[The host is looking gorgeous] You're beautiful too. [Thanks] I'll be your host today to lead a conversation made for BABYMONSTER, all about BABYMONSTER, based on customized topics.
Speaker A
This will shake every detail out of BABYMONSTER. [Shake] This will shake every detail out of BABYMONSTER.
Speaker A
[Ta-da] [RORA's secret weapon] With this, we'll create new stories together. Why is this your secret weapon?
Speaker A
This shuffle table knows everything about us. [Everything?] For example, the member who ate jjimdak today.
Speaker A
[Oooh] Or the member who went to an exhibition yesterday. Who was it? [They know this too?] The member who went to watch a movie alone yesterday.
Speaker A
Who? [The shuffle table knows all of this?] It's me. [?] Oh really? It was me.
Speaker A
From now on, BABYMONSTER's algorithm is in Spotify's hands. [Let me hear you!] Should we start dancing?
Speaker A
[I'm ready] [Me too unni] [Let's CHOOM] [Ready to own it BABYMON?] [Baby cheetah incoming] Show us ASA!
Speaker A
[Watch me do it right] [We love noona's fox energy] [We gon get this party started!] [RUKA time] [World-devouring level of charisma] [The host is obsessed] The reaction is so good!
Speaker A
The time has finally come. [Album name = Title track name] We are back with our 3rd Mini Album "CHOOM".
Speaker A
[MONSTER party begins now] It's a powerful BABYMONSTER track that shows our ambition to showcase our dancing.
Speaker A
The album and title track have the same name, it's a very straightforward title. [CHOOM] It's a very straightforward title.
Speaker A
The production crew heard our song and started their own dance party. [?] I feel like the camera crew is internally dancing while filming us.
Speaker A
If you love 'CHOOM', make some noise! Thank you. [Spotify S2 BABYMONSTER] How did you feel when you first heard the title track 'CHOOM'?
Speaker A
I liked the title right away. 'CHOOM'. Having the single word 'CHOOM' as the title felt really cool.
Speaker A
When I heard the beat in the intro, that's when I felt like this. Wow...
Speaker A
[The beat already ate] [We all felt it] It sounded so cool, and got me excited for the choreography.
Speaker A
When I heard the lyrics, the whole theme was 'let's dance together', so I thought it was the perfect title to connect with fans and the public.
Speaker A
That made the lyrics leave a strong impression. Speaking of the lyrics, even just seeing them alongside the album cover, you can instantly feel the energy.
Speaker A
What's the message behind it? Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat with BABYMONSTER. Let's go all out and have fun.
Speaker A
What about Sunday? What do we do on Sunday? We have to sleep. [Even BABYMONSTER takes Sundays off] [Strict 6-day work week?] We're not dancing then?
Speaker A
We danced all week long. [Sleeping Beauty RUKA on Sundays] I have to rest. After one day off, we're starting all over on Monday, right?
Speaker A
[Infinite 'CHOOM' routine] Just like the lyrics, which energizer member is most likely to dance all week without getting tired?
Speaker A
I think it'd be AHYEON? [Unanimous vote from BABYMONSTER] Our concerts last around two hours, and even through the encore, AHYEON keeps running around and pours energy into the performance.
Speaker A
[AHYEON with A+++ energy] AHYEON said she wants to do endless encores at concerts. You're making this public?
Speaker A
[Are you listening MONSTIEZ?] Which song do you want to do the endless encore with?
Speaker A
To me, the best song is whatever the fans love. Fans always seem to enjoy this one.
Speaker A
[Totally] We didn't get to perform 'DRIP' for the encore at our fan concert. We should do a remix, or loop the song, [Don't even think about leaving MONSTIEZ] so the fans never have to go home.
Speaker A
[I'm for real right now] I can practically hear the fans cheering already. You heard that, right?
Speaker A
What's your favorite line from the title track? I kept thinking this might be the song's killing part.
Speaker A
RUKA's "I'll show you my every choom choom choom". The lyrics are great on their own, but aside from that, RUKA put in a lot of thought into that part.
Speaker A
I could tell she was trying out lots of different things, which got me even more excited for it.
Speaker A
Show us! Show us! [Dance club sunbae coming through] [Too much hot girl energy] [Noona, you got me blushing] [Destroyed] [Respect] Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
Speaker A
[Did you see that, world?] [Yes, and I'm loving you for life] MONSTIEZ just screamed right now.
Speaker A
[MONSTIEZ status: vocal cords destroyed] Other than this part, was there any part during recording that you paid extra attention to?
Speaker A
We spent a really long time recording 'CHOOM'. We recorded it over a long period of time.
Speaker A
Usually, recording takes about an hour to an hour and a half for each member, but this time it took us three hours.
Speaker A
[It's true] The final part was fun to do together. [Group sing-along] [Dance track made for automatic sing-alongs] [Are you singing with us MONSTIEZ?] [Choom choom choom choom] [This is fun] I'm so excited to see this at our concert.
Speaker A
CHIQUITA, was there a part you especially worked hard on or focused on during the recording?
Speaker A
My part in the chorus goes, [ASA does it too] Let's choom... But it kind of, [Literally indescribable] Let's choom.
Speaker A
They said this sounded too bright. I was told to make it darker. Let's choom.
Speaker A
I had to do this multiple times. Was it difficult? Yes. Sometimes, it's harder to express something with just one word than with a bunch of lyrics.
Speaker A
That vibe... It was hard to catch that vibe. You expressed that intense feeling very well.
Speaker A
Thank you. [Thank you for killing the recording] Since both the album and title track are called 'CHOOM', this promises a powerful performance.
Speaker A
What would you say is the choreography's standout part? The one during the chorus. Twerking.
Speaker A
Could RUKA and CHIQUITA show us together? MONSTIEZ around the globe are watching through Spotify.
Speaker A
[Eyes locked in, right?] Hi. [?] Show us! [Eldest-youngest duo will CHOOM for real] [Right now, it's the 'CHOOM' challenge BOOM] [The dance all the cool dancers are doing these days] [RORA came to CHOOM too] [Twerking starts now] [Squeal]
Speaker A
[Entire planet: jaw dropped] The crowd is going crazy. The performance is just as impressive as the lyrics.
Speaker A
Is there another member's killing part that you wanted for yourself? It's not that I wanted the killing part, but there's a funny story involving the same part.
Speaker A
Can I share it? PHARITA and I do the same part. [1st verse] [2nd verse] About this part, by the way, I love you chief producer.
Speaker A
Our chief producer always gives us feedback. PHARITA has really long arms, and there was a time I didn't raise mine as much during this move.
Speaker A
CP: "AHYEON, your arms look a little short." [LOL] CP: "AHYEON, you know PHARITA has naturally long arms." CP: "I think you need to extend your arms more." After that, I only wore long sleeves [Our girl's doing full-body stretching] and stretched my arms this high.
Speaker A
[Her cuteness stretched all the way up too] [Upset] [Her cuteness stretched all the way up too] [Babying the little sister] Your arms are definitely long enough.
Speaker A
[Why unni why] Why are your arms so long? Why don't you meet in the middle?
Speaker A
PHARITA can make hers a little shorter, and AHYEON can reach out longer. [Mutual agreement has been made] [PHARITA living up to the long-arm reputation] [Hehe] A mission just came in.
Speaker A
[Surprise Mission: 30-second b-side advertisement time] [30-second mission?] One member has to become a commercial model for 30 seconds, and introduce three b-side tracks using three required keywords.
Speaker A
[Every word on the shuffle table must be used!] [Starting with PHARITA] Let's check out the ad right now.
Speaker A
[What keywords will she get?] [Beautiful devils] [Umbrella] [Cof
Speaker A
We sing 'MOON'. It's a great song. Please listen to it. Listen to 'I LIKE IT' too.
Speaker A
Whether you're holding an umbrella, or holding coffee, listen while sipping your coffee. Please show lots of love.
Speaker A
I love you! [That took 40 seconds] She used all three words and all three b-side tracks, but failed because she exceeded the time limit.
Speaker A
This is hard. I'm looking forward to the next member. [Next up is AHYEON] Hello, I'm BABYMONSTER's AHYEON.
Speaker A
If you want to experience the beautiful devils, listen to 'MOON'. If you want a romantic vibe with an umbrella in hand, then listen to 'I LIKE IT'.
Speaker A
What about pairing 'LOCKED IN' with a cup of coffee? [Still not listening?] [Puss-in-boots but make it AHYEON] [Umbrella and coffee sales skyrocketing] [So proud] [RORA is younger by the way] Did I do it right?
Speaker A
[You're right, unni is always right] Can you hear the Spotify streams going up? [Spotify server exploded(?)] Can you hear the Spotify streams going up?
Speaker A
[Yay!] [Stream 25 hours, 366 days a year] [Certified devil of advertising] Shall we check out the next topic?
Speaker A
[What is RECORD MONSTER?] Aren't you curious? You're so curious, right? [So I came prepared] We will find out through the 1st BABYMONSTER Spotify Streaming Exam.
Speaker A
[I'm gonna be the Streaming Exam winner!] [Streaming Exam cruising along with the genius host] [But] Are you ready?
Speaker A
[Anxious] Yes. [Surprise present prepared by the host(?)] What should I do? [Life as BABYMON's youngest is tough] [Demanding job: BABYMONSTER maknae] [What trial awaits 18-year-old baby CHIQUITA?] [Find out on K-Pop ON! Video Podcast] [All the parts will be shuffled]
Speaker A
What happens if our parts get swapped? It looks like we're singing each other's parts.
Speaker A
[BABYMONSTER's 1st attempt — let's get into Shuffle Live] This is our first time switching parts.
Speaker A
We gotta have fun with it. [Nervous] Let's do this. [Full pack of anxious puppies] [Who gets the first part?] Come on out...
Speaker A
[Jumpscared RUKA] [Awkward] [RUKA scurrying] [Oh! My turn] [On thin ice] [Shuffle Live stumbling its way forward(?)] [Kinda timid...?] [Even our energizer AHYEON...] [Shuffle Live] [Shuffle Live failed] [Reason for failure: lack of confidence] [What do we do if the K-Pop monsters lose confidence?] We weren't doing that bad.
Speaker A
[Unleash your inner MONSTER part 2] Do you want another shot? [We'll do better this time] Give us one more chance...
Speaker A
Please. [Begging for a retry] [Fox noona's fatal stare] [Spotify has been defeated] [Earned another chance] [Shuffle Live 2nd attempt] [Now with extra confidence] [Please let us succeed] [Why are the live-performance queens this nervous] Wait wait.
Speaker A
It won't be me... right? [RUKA hurry!] [RUKA scurrying again] [Are we failing again?] [Ayy] [Unnis, baby's got this] [Did you see that?] [You get a million gold stars] [Late from biting her finger] [-1 point for being tardy] [Mesmerizing points +10000000]
Speaker A
[Go get it panda!] [AHYEON pulling up] [That's our girl!] [Fun!] [Starting to loosen up a little] [Members, you ready?] [All set] [Our host] [Baby Jang Do-youn in her element] [Dear world, you earned this song] [Shake it] [Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat]
Speaker A
[Let's all get lost in] [AHYEON] [Watch out watch out] [ASA go!] [Vroom vroom] [Poof!] [CHIQUITA let her guard down!] [Maknae? I'm big sis RUKA today!] [RUKA status: proud fox] [Risky] Gotta... keep it...
Speaker A
[Back on track] [I'll show you] [my every choom] Do this! Do this! [RUKA fox squad assemble] [Just a cute little baby cheetah] [That's our CHIQUITA] [Part owner can't stop smiling] [Billingitbillingit(?)] [Show(?)] [Unknown language detected] [But their live vocals are always jaw-dropping]
Speaker A
[Around here, I'm a] [Right here, right now with RORA] [Hypnotized by RORA] [I need BABYMON as my girlfriend now] [This is grown woman aura] [It's PHARI time!] [Clap clap clap] [Feeling lightheaded because ASA is the light] [Swallow the whole world]
Speaker A
[RUKA scurrying forever] [CHIQUITA caught off guard again] [Haha] [Unnis, you'll play with CHIQUITA, right?] [Obvi] [Not complete without scurrying RUKA] [Why is our eldest going this hard lol] [Princess RORA's side profile + voice attack] [As the darkness falls deep]
Speaker A
[Okay bye] [Now MONSTER party] [At the MONSTER party, we have ASA noona] [And baby CHIQUITA] [Cutie] [Sending out the final boss] [Her own part] [Tear it up] [Song's almost over — we can see the finish line!] [Dance queen's favorite twerk move]
Speaker A
[Are we at BABYMONSTER's concert or what?] [Just vibe] [That's right] [Shuffle Live by the boss girls who own the stage] [Shuffle Live: huge success] [We did it] [Expected nothing less from them] Thank you so much. [?] For giving AHYEON her own high note part.
Speaker A
[Just the random shuffle at work] Thank you very much. This is fun. [What's the next shuffle?] [See that? — Shuffle Live just set the K-Pop standard] [Loved it] How was that?
Speaker A
Shuffle Live was fun, right? [No words needed] [So fun] This was one of the things we said we wanted to try for an encore if we won first place.
Speaker A
[1st place pledge idea: part switch] Let's count this as practice. [Rehearsal for their music show win] [Can't wait] Along with 'CHOOM', where can we listen to all the songs from BABYMONSTER's 3rd Mini Album?
Speaker A
[Which record will the shuffle land on next?] [Oh?] The data from before turned into emojis.
Speaker A
Where did these emojis come from? Spotify? [Where could it be?] They're from the people who know BABYMONSTER just as well as the Shuffle Table.
Speaker A
MONSTIEZ sent in the special data. [That's so cool] When did MONSTIEZ send this? Seriously, when did you even send this!
Speaker A
[Very well played] [Aegyo] [RORA's aegyo...?] [Hold up MONSTIEZ] [Huh?] Wait a second, I was supposed to be the respected host today...
Speaker A
[lol] You all have to copy my aegyo exactly. That won't be easy. [What] I'm going to show you a three-step aegyo for MONSTIEZ.
Speaker A
Don't leave anything out, don't change anything, and copy it exactly as it is. [Most stressed person right now] [Sigh...] [Most stressed person right now] [Moment of crisis for the star host] Here I go!
Speaker A
[Excited] One two three. [Pout] [I can't watch...] Second one! [Cheek poke] [I'm so proud of you] [Ang] [No caption] Did you see that?
Speaker A
[???: How did the last one go again?] [Messing with the host 1] How did the last one go again?
Speaker A
[Messing with the host 2] Show us one more time. [These unnis...] [1. Ooh] [2. Ang] [3. Cheeseburger] [Pfft] Oh! It was a cheeseburger?
Speaker A
It's a cheeseburger! I thought it was a heart. Cheeseburger. [Nom!] [Me too, nom] Okay, shall we try it...?
Speaker A
[Time for everyone to follow the host's aegyo] I have high expectations. [MONSTIEZ is watching] [Spotify is testing me today] [Let's go AEGYO MONSTER] [Like an aegyo class teacher] [Good job...] Our members gave it their all today.
Speaker A
[100 out of 100 for effort] Let's move on to the next message. [Fashion?] I'm a MONSTIEZ who signed up for a dance academy earlier this year.
Speaker A
I've never learned how to dance, so I want to at least dress like I can, but nothing I wear looks cool.
Speaker A
My aesthetic inspiration is ASA. Please share some tips to recreate ASA's viral practice room look which has become so iconic that people are saying, "Only ASA can pull this off." [A message for dance and fashion empress ASA] [Oh my] [A message for dance and fashion empress ASA]
Speaker A
[Even more hyped] [ASA's daily fashion = highly suggested] You're known for having next-level fashion sense.
Speaker A
[Any advice for the MONSTIEZ struggling with fashion?] Since you said you're learning to dance, you should try the look I wore in the short-form video.
Speaker A
Wear a hoodie with the hood pulled up, and a hat, and pull up one side [Doing her unni's moves] so one arm is exposed.
Speaker A
If you do that, you'll give off major dance pro vibes! [Yooo] I'm curious. ASA, what do you think of 'only ASA can pull this off'?
Speaker A
It's my first time hearing it. Are you pleased with it? Yes. [Definitely happy about it] I feel great.
Speaker A
If you're a MONSTIEZ, don't think 'only ASA can pull this off'. Fashion is something we can share and try together.
Speaker A
If you wear the same outfits or accessories we've worn before, it might make us feel like we're connected.
Speaker A
Through fashion, It'd be nice to interact and share that feeling. Do you have any practice-room style aesthetics or tips?
Speaker A
When you dance, wearing baggy clothes makes your movements look bigger. [Great tip] I feel like wearing leggings makes the vibe a little less hip...
Speaker A
But all of us wore leggings when we were trainees. [RORA] I used to wear leggings as a trainee.
Speaker A
Two layers at a time. [Lol] [Self-callout] It was cold! [Apparently it was cold lol] [Witness 1] The socks! They were the highlight!
Speaker A
[Witness 2] Black T-shirt and leggings. [Endless witness reports] With the white socks. [RORA not found] Pulled up to here!
Speaker A
[AHYEON entered the chat] The leggings with stripes! [Okay and?] I have a question. How many leggings do you own?
Speaker A
[RORA leggings case file] When I was a trainee, I had tons. [Baby Dain's leggings era] I used to love them.
Speaker A
But all of us wore them. [BABYMONSTER comes clean] I wasn't the only one dressing like that.
Speaker A
[YG trainee dress code(?)] It was a signature look. It was tradition. But trainees nowadays dress really stylish.
Speaker A
[You were born in 2008] You're saying nowadays? [08 baby already saying 'kids these days'?] Then I guess you were kind of old-fashioned back then.
Speaker A
[Excuse me] Let's move on. [Leggings phase Dain was so cute] Hello, I'm a former study abroad student and current part-timer MONSTIEZ.
Speaker A
My dream is to become a world-class interpreter and meet the BABYMONSTER members. To make that dream come true, I went abroad and studied really hard, but I had to come back to Korea due to family circumstances.
Speaker A
I remember crying my eyes out on the flight back home. These days, I'm working part-time at a cafe, trying to stay strong while waiting for the day I can finally achieve my dream, but it hasn't been easy.
Speaker A
Could you comfort me with a song? [A MONSTIEZ in need of comfort] If you have a song you listen to whenever you need comfort, I think it'd be nice to sing it for MONSTIEZ.
Speaker A
I have one! It's 'Niji' by Aqua Timez. [I know it] [It's okay, if we look up] [It's alright, see, the seven-colored bridge] [We can finally laugh together under the same sky] [Ascended after hearing Angel RURU's voice] It's been so long since I heard your vocals.
Speaker A
[What message of comfort does the song carry?] Could you tell us about the lyrics?
Speaker A
The lyrics tell you, it's okay. Just like this... Look at the sky. There's a rainbow.
Speaker A
[Hearing the explanation made it even more comforting] [Well-known song that gives hope and support to youth] For me...
Speaker A
BLACKPINK's 'Love To Hate Me' is a song I really like. The lyrics of that song are also about loving yourself a little more, and taking time to reflect on yourself.
Speaker A
[A song AHYEON recommends and personally found comfort in] [Love that] [I'm cured thanks to the vocal genius] [Final RECORD] Shall we check it out right now?
Speaker A
How did you like the new records BABYMONSTER created today? [Our records today?] There aren't many places for us to fully express our own stories.
Speaker A
This was another chance for our fans to get to know us better, so I was really happy.
Speaker A
We also got to talk a lot about "CHOOM", which was great. Plus, our host did such an amazing job.
Speaker A
[Touched] [Couldn't agree more] You're improving more and more. Can we look forward to MC RORA in the future?
Speaker A
If you call me, I'm there. [Baby Yoo Jae-suk, baby Jang Do-youn always on standby] Please call her!
Speaker A
[Manifesting MC RORA!] We are back with our new Mini Album. It was really fun to play games on Spotify, and introduce our album as well.
Speaker A
We also have concerts scheduled for June 26, 27, and 28. [Please come see us] Thank you so much Spotify for having us here.
Speaker A
I hope you guys enjoyed this. And you can also listen to our new Mini Album "CHOOM" on Spotify!
Speaker A
[Perfect ending] This has been BABYMONSTER, ready to take over the world with 'CHOOM', And our host.
Speaker A
[Born-to-be-MC RORA] [A worldwide dance party with BABYMONSTER] What was that? You want to hear more stories from BABYMONSTER?
Speaker A
Then go to Spotify right now, and look up K-Pop ON! Video Podcast! [Bye]
