Speaker A
MINJAE brought ice cream, but I brought smoked quail eggs.
Speaker A
We were told to get snacks that have memories attached, so... do you actually have memories with that?
Speaker A
Back when we were trainees, remember?
Speaker A
We used to always stop by the convenience store after eating. Once we got to the agency, we couldn’t go out during practice, so we’d buy snacks to eat in between.
Speaker A
And every time, I’d always get smoked quail eggs. They’re good. And they don’t make you gain weight. Want one?
Speaker A
Wanna trade bites? Is that your favorite? Your favorite ice cream? Not really, to be honest...
Speaker A
I used to eat World Cone with Bomin all the time. The convenience store we always stopped by after meals was it CU?
Speaker A
The store owner there was so nice. [Softly] “Hello, this is CU.”
Speaker A
You know that one? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker A
And every time we’d pay and leave, he’d always tell us to have a nice day.
Speaker A
Like, “Have a good day.” It’d make me feel so good walking out.
Speaker A
He was really kind.
Speaker A
It’s been way too long since we’ve seen him.
Speaker A
What should we talk about today... What do we usually talk about? How can we get better at dancing?
Speaker A
How can we lead the other members well? What should we do to succeed?
Speaker A
When we go up on stage for music shows—
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
—we have to talk with our fans, right?
Speaker A
Right. When I see people like Haechan or other artists, they’re just so natural...
Speaker A
Yeah, they just talk like they’re chatting with friends.
Speaker A
But we... I still can’t do that.
Speaker A
How do I seem?
Speaker A
You look like you’re pretty comfortable.
Speaker A
Yeah, I think I’ve gotten a bit closer to the fans now.
Speaker A
All the members are on Bubble these days.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
I’ve been peeking a little.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Everyone’s started to talk to fans more casually now.
Speaker A
True.
Speaker A
It’s not an easy thing to do though.
Speaker A
These kids are so bold.
Speaker A
You know it was the youngest ones who started talking casually first, right?
Speaker A
Really?
Speaker A
Yeah, I think JUNHYUK started it.
Speaker A
SEMIN talks casually too.
Speaker A
Yeah, that’s right. But I still can’t do it.
Speaker A
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to, even after a long time.
Speaker A
Really?
Speaker A
I actually want to get comfortable quickly. It’s easier to talk when you can speak casually.
Speaker A
It’s easier to start a topic like just saying, “What are you doing?”
Speaker A
Instead of, “I wonder what everyone is doing right now.”
Speaker A
Yeah, true.
Speaker A
Maybe I should try something funny like “Mwohamyo?” instead of "What are you doing?" You know that one? From “Infinite Challenge”?
Speaker A
Park Myung-soo came up with it.
Speaker A
“Mwohamyo?”
Speaker A
“Mwohamyo?”
Speaker A
“Mwohamyo?”
Speaker A
“Mwo meogeotmyo?” for "What do you eat?"
Speaker A
Sounds a bit like a Jeju dialect though.
Speaker A
Like “Mwo hamen?” “Eodi gan?” “Bap meogeon?” “Meogeon?” How do you make that polite?
Speaker A
“Bap meogeosseyo?”
Speaker A
“Bap... bap meogeotmyo.” “Bap meogeotmyo.” I don’t know.
Speaker A
What’s your MBTI again? [Curious about his unpredictable friend’s personality]
Speaker A
What was it?
Speaker A
My MBTI...
Speaker A
Not “KMJ.” I haven’t taken the test since when I took it during the big project (“Debut’s Plan”).
Speaker A
Back then, I think I was IN... INTJ? Or ISTJ? INTJ, maybe? But honestly, I’m definitely not a “J.” IN...
Speaker A
Does “N” mean you think a lot?
Speaker A
Yeah, kind of. It’s like, do you take things as they are (S) or do you imagine beyond them (N)?
Speaker A
Then I guess “N” fits me. F or T... I think I’m “T” too. IN...
Speaker A
INT... INTP.
Speaker A
INTP?
Speaker A
Yeah, INTP.
Speaker A
You just took the test yourself?
Speaker A
Yeah, just my guess. INTP. I don’t think I’m a “J” either, but you kind of end up living like one, don’t you?
Speaker A
You can’t really help it.
Speaker A
True. I think my temperament is “E.”
Speaker A
I just like people, you know?
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
But you know that’s different from personality, right? Personality keeps changing [Innate temperament], but there’s something that doesn’t.
Speaker A
I think my unchanging temperament is “E.”
Speaker A
Yeah. But as my personality shifts with time, I keep turning more “I” depending on the situation.
Speaker A
Depending on the situation.
Speaker A
Lately I’ve been feeling more
Speaker A
introverted.
Speaker A
Really?
Speaker A
But you’re still pretty active around... you know.
Speaker A
Yeah. True, but... That side doesn’t come out naturally, but if I try, it does.
Speaker A
When I need to be more outgoing, I can do it easily
Speaker A
because my base nature is extroverted.
Speaker A
Because you’re “E”?
Speaker A
But some people struggle with that, right?
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
It drains them.
Speaker A
Exactly.
Speaker A
But I’m not like that.
Speaker A
Then you’re definitely “E.”
Speaker A
Yeah, I can try to act like one, so I really am "E." Between “N” and “S”?
Speaker A
Definitely “N.” Back in the day... Here’s a real behind story. When I went to acting school—
Speaker A
I once had a talk with my teacher.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
I said
Speaker A
“I’m having such a hard time lately.”
Speaker A
Yeah. “My head’s full of thoughts and I don’t know what to do...” I was being totally serious.
Speaker A
You know what the talk was about? That I think too much these days. Like when I sit at a desk, I start wondering
Speaker A
what country this wood grew in.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
What kind of tree it was, who cut it down, and I just can’t stop thinking about it.
Speaker A
The thoughts never end.
Speaker A
Yeah. I asked, “What should I do?” I said, “I worry too much.” I was totally “N” already from then.
Speaker A
I’ve had a similar experience.
Speaker A
Yeah? You might not get it, but I once thought about a needle.
Speaker A
Like, when you flick a needle—
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
—it bounces somewhere, right?
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
Then it bounces again?
Speaker A
Yeah. And I’d just keep connecting that in my head.
Speaker A
Like, if I throw the needle here, it’ll hit there, then bounce to that spot, and then go over there...
Speaker A
I kept thinking that way
Speaker A
while riding in the car to my grandma’s house.
Speaker A
You really lived an interesting life.
Speaker A
I think I’ve wondered similar things too, like “Where did this tree come from?” or “Where will this end up buried someday?” [Meaningfully...] I have a question.
Speaker A
Are we awkward around each other? What do you think? Be totally honest. I mean, I’m just curious about one thing.
Speaker A
I really wonder how you are with your friends—your school friends.
Speaker A
My school friends?
Speaker A
Yeah, not the ones from the agency.
Speaker A
But honestly, it’s kind of the same with my school friends too.
Speaker A
Really?
Speaker A
Yeah, it's similar, but with them, since we play soccer together, they see the real me, I guess?
Speaker A
Like the version of me that lets everything go. [So right now, are we...] Awkward?
Speaker A
Honestly, I think we still don’t know each other that well yet.
Speaker A
True.
Speaker A
We don’t actually know that much. We’ve mostly talked about our dreams rather than about ourselves.
Speaker A
We’ve never really hung out one-on-one, either.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
I don’t really hang out much anyway.
Speaker A
If you think about it...
Speaker A
me haven’t really spent any time just the two of us. What’s funny is—
Speaker A
even back when I was a trainee—
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
[Thinking...] I never spent time alone with anyone. You’re right, now that I think about it.
Speaker A
Like, I’ve known Jiyong for a long time, but we’ve never hung out just the two of us. Same with Bomin.
Speaker A
Not even with Bomin?
Speaker A
Nope.
Speaker A
Really? That’s kind of surprising.
Speaker A
I always spent time with people in groups of three.
Speaker A
I’m fine in a group, but—
Speaker A
Yeah. when it’s just me and one person, it feels awkward.
Speaker A
Probably because I don’t really volunteer anything.
Speaker A
Yeah. If no one asks, I just don’t say anything.
Speaker A
So when everyone’s talking, I don’t really have anything to add. Actually, when I first joined the company and wasn’t close with anyone yet, I randomly made plans
Speaker A
to hang out with WONBIN.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
It was so awkward, just the two of us. We went to the department store, ate pho, and walked around.
Speaker A
But honestly, I don’t even remember what we looked at. I know how to
Speaker A
get close with WONBIN fast.
