Original subtitles

[26-second preview] "When's my cue? I need to get my line in."

"Huh? They skipped my question."

Really? Was it that bad?

Yeah.

- I had no idea. - It was like that until pretty recently.

That time we had to do the acrostic poem on Running Man...

I was thinking about it all night.

- Seriously, just obsessing. - I was literally shaking.

My knees were knocking. I was like, "What am I going to do?"

I can't even hit the right tone anymore for songs like "What is Love?"

It comes out like...

What in the world was that?

- Are you cold? Freezing? - What was that noise?

[Hello, fellow Gyewon!]

[Summer's here! Making any cool vacation plans?]

[Not yet?]

[No problem! Let's kick back with a staycation right here on Pinggyego!]

[Pinggyego!]

[This video contains a paid advertisement for Nongshim Baehongdong]

[Entering] What is all this?

What's with the "Bondi Beach" thing?

Well, today...

[Looking around the den] They've set this up like a team dinner.

Oh, nice.

I heard we were having these Kal-bim-myeon noodles

so I skipped breakfast just to make sure I'd have plenty of room.

You know, for all the foodies out there!

I've been hearing that everyone's stocking up on Baehongdong.

[Baehongdong Kal-bim-myeon: New foodie favorite!] Today, we have the new Baehongdong Kal-bim-myeon.

I'm really looking forward to digging in a little later.

We'll have a great meal once our guests get here.

Do you know where that photo was taken?

[Q. Where is this?] This one?

Oh, I know exactly where that is.

[A. Sapa, Vietnam] Sapa. That's Sapa.

[Correct] I can tell just by looking. Sapa.

Of course I'd recognize it. I was there!

[The scenery is familiar, but the location isn't] Wait, where is this? A hotel?

It was the most recommended place in the guidebook we had.

Staff) That brand new resort...

Hey, why didn't you guys tell me about that one?

[No apps, no searching] You're the one who told us not to!

[Sigh]

[Longing...]

I bet that place is a bit pricier per night than where we stayed.

[And speaking of which!] Oh, here he comes.

Jeez, it's hot.

[The hyung who went to Sapa with him] Seoksam!

- What's all this? - Hello.

Oh, so this is the... the vibe, huh?

- What vibe? - You know, like a... a beach.

Huh? Is this Bondee?

It's Bon-DAI.

[One of the most famous beaches in the world] Bondi Beach.

[The first place that comes to mind for Australia] What's "Bondee"?

Oh, for crying out loud, man.

[Winding up for a lecture] Is this really...

Is this something to get so worked up about?

- I'm telling you, some people say "Bondee"! - It's Bon-DAI...

Come on, man!

[Next quiz] Hey! Where's this?

- What? - Where is this?

This kind of looks like Sejong City.

[Confidently and completely wrong]

There are some really pretty places like this!

- Get your mic on. - Is this overseas?

[So busy with the quiz, he forgot his mic] Put your mic on.

Is this a foreign country?

[Hint] It's a place we went to.

When did we go there?

It's Sapa!

This is Sapa?

We never saw anything like this!

[Weather issues... But still...]

Did you see it even once?

But the scenery is definitely Sapa.

But a swan there looks out of place.

That's not a swan, it's a flamingo.

[Mutually speechless] This is ridiculous.

This guy doesn't know anything.

You're six years older than me how are you this clueless?

How do you know if that's a swan or a flamingo?

It's a flamingo, man. A flamingo.

[Bickering at full strength this morning] How do you know?

That's a flamingo.

You're driving me crazy.

He always thinks he's right.

[To the staff] Is it a flamingo? Or a swan...

Flamingo...

So you're all on his side, huh?

[If anyone's on Team Swan] Says who?

[please cheer for Seoksam in the comments] How is that a swan? It's clearly a flamingo.

[Bickering] Says who?!

[Bickering] Look at the beak! It's a flamingo!

[A practical observation] Swan or flamingo, it's all the same plastic.

Oh, brother.

[In the midst of the chaos, the guests arrive] JEONGYEON!

Hello!

It's been so long!

- Hi! - JEONGYEON, what did you bring?

[Arriving with bags full] JIHYO and SANA, too!

- So good to see you! - JEONGYEON, how have you been?

Great!

[Warm greetings for JIHYO, NAYEON, and SANA] How've you been?

NAYEON, it's been a while!

Whoa, what's with all this stuff? You didn't have to bring so much!

- Make yourselves comfortable. - We heard we were having Baehongdong...

[A true foodie's dumplings and meat to go with it] Oh, to go with the noodles? It's still warm!

[Brought tangerines to snack on while chatting] Have some tangerines.

- You brought meat? - We did.

It's been so long. How many years has it been?

JEONGYEON, for you it really has been a few years, huh?

[On Whenever Possible] I mean, I saw JIHYO and SANA recently, but it's

[But it's been ages for JEONGYEON and NAYEON] been ages since I've seen JEONGYEON and NAYEON.

It really has been a long time.

Yeah, because honestly

back in the day, it felt like TWICE were regulars on Running Man.

So how come you never come on? I'm a little hurt.

Excuse me?

We'd love to come on...

Man, if you say it like that TWICE is going to feel even worse.

I'm sure there are various... circumstances...

Stories that I'm not... privy to.

Have a tangerine! A tangerine!

[Tangerine delivery]

Is that your way of telling me to shut up?

JEONGYEON, it's been so long, and...

[Come to think of it, why tangerines?] Where'd you get tangerines from?

My dad just got back from a trip to Jeju Island and brought them.

- And they're unbelievably good. - But it's not tangerine season.

- They're good even though they're out of season? - Yeah, they're so delicious.

[And so, the talk begins with a zesty start] Wow, TWICE hasn't changed a bit.

It must've been, what, seven years ago?

- It's hilarious how we just jump right in. - Wow, this is delicious.

[Not used to just jumping right into the chatter] So, we've started, right?

Yep, we've started.

JIHYO and I see each other at concerts sometimes.

[Jae Seok and JIHYO often run into each other in the most unexpected places]

Yeah, we run into each other at concerts a lot.

What concerts have you been to?

Let's see... JENNIE's, and aespa's!

[Yu-rmione Granger's wide range of activities] You really get around.

At JENNIE's concert, didn't the camera catch you and...

you started dancing?

- That was at the aespa concert. - Ah, it was aespa.

I went with RYUJIN from ITZY and she was the one who danced.

Right, right.

On stage? She went up on stage?

- Oh, right there in the front, like this? - You've never been, have you...

[Unidentifiable dance moves]

[Oh my! What is this dance?]

[Like this and that]

What are you doing, getting punished?

This is all we've got.

[The Punishment Dance]

Actually, we'd love to invite you two to our concert.

When is it?

We have one in July.

[TWICE "THIS IS FOR" WORLD TOUR IN INCHEON] I just saw the news about it.

[July 19-20] It's your 10th anniversary concert.

[At Incheon Inspire Arena] The Arena.

[The start of their sixth world tour] The Inspire Arena.

[Sold Out] The article said you sold out the whole venue.

Wow... You sold it out without any comp tickets?

[A question so rude it's almost innocent] That guy...

[So weird it's funny] What is he talking about?

What is wrong with him?

- This is just the vibe here, right? - Yeah, this is just how it is.

[Drawing a line / But that was just him] No, it's not how "it" is, it's how "he" is.

- It's not us, it's him. - That Guy) You guys...

You know, I once had a concert myself.

[MSG Wannabe Unit] We did an M.O.M concert.

We did two of them.

What's an M.O.M concert? Like, a concert for moms?

[MSG Wannabe's Producer, Yu Ya Ho]

JEONGYEON, I'm sorry but...

you and I are just not vibing today.

- No, an M.O.M concert... - MSG Wannabe!

[A desperate cry] We were a number one group on Melon!

[It just clicked]

[LIVE] I can only look at you

- Why are you singing so early in the morning? - I see...

I don't think she knows this song.

[Seems that way] When you said M.O.M

a concert for moms...

Like the ones where you invite mothers, right?

[Felt like a filial duty concert] Yeah.

You know, you're not wrong.

A lot of mothers did show up.

Speaking of which, we...

[The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards] I saw your sister at an awards show recently.

[JEONGYEON's older sister: Actor Gong Seung Yeon] My sister.

Oh, right...

- Seung Yeon. - Right!

You don't know her, do you?

- You two are even, then. - What! We're not vibing?

Yeah, you two are really not.

Good thing you two are sitting far apart.

JEONGYEON! You don't know my brother, right?

[Acknowledged] I do not.

See? We're even!

[Even!] No, man.

[Chokes while laughing] Your brother is

[Are you really comparing the two?] just a regular office worker

and her sister is a famous actor!

You can't know everyone...

We can get to know them now.

Right, right, of course.

SANA, are you feeling a little tired this morning?

- Oh, does it show? - Yep!

- Oh no, SANA, it must be that obvious. - Ah! What do I do?

[The resident face-reader of Pinggyego] You're tired, aren't you?

- Didn't get much sleep? - We're getting ready for the concert.

- A lot of rehearsals, I bet. - We've been at it all day

and it overlaps with our comeback.

[THIS IS FOR] So you must have a new album out, too.

[Released July 11th] It's a full-length album, so yes, it's new.

[As TWICE's fourth full-length album] A full-length album?

[it features the title track of the same name] Yes, a full-length.

[and songs like "Four" and "Options."] That must've been so tough to prepare for.

[A total of 14 tracks, including "Mars"] With the concert prep on top of it.

And after that, we have

[Headlining "Lollapalooza Chicago"] a few festivals we're playing.

[Also prepping for their August festival stage] So we're getting ready for that, too.

Wow, I can't imagine how exhausting that is.

But you can do it!

We have to.

[Sympathizing with their exhaustion] I mean, I get it. For TWICE

- you have so many hit songs! - There's that, and

[Another reason it's tough] for this concert...

- It's 360 degrees! - Yes, a 360-degree...

- Oh, you knew about that? - Of course I knew.

[Quietly impressed] Of course!

That's incredibly hard to prepare for.

[I know, I know] Yeah, to do a 360-degree performance

you have to rethink all the blocking and choreography from scratch.

[I, too, shall attempt to empathize] Normally backstage you can just... you know

leave your stuff lying around and all that.

But you can't do any of that, can you?

- Our stuff? - What kind of... stuff?

You guys don't do that?

Well, there is a backstage area.

[There's space under the stage, but...] Under the stage.

Who worries about where to put their stuff during a concert?

[The more you think about it the weirder the concern]

[Haha...] What kind of stuff would we have?

What kind of stuff?

[Apologizing on his behalf] I'm so sorry. He just has a lot of baggage!

It's true, I've got a lot of stuff.

[A different hardship of 360-degree shows] Usually, though

there's a front and a back to the stage.

So sometimes I could turn around to wipe my nose or cough.

But you can't do that now.

- Ah. - No, you can't.

But a 360-degree concert, that's really something.

I went to one once when IU was having her concert.

- Oh! - I think that one was 360.

I went to that one too! You were there?

- NAYEON, you were there? - Whoa! You're a concert fanatic.

[Popping up everywhere] You've been to everything.

I guess I do go to a lot of concerts.

And there are certain stages that really stick with you.

[The 360-degree concert was one of them] And the 360 stage is just...

- Yes, that's exactly the feeling. - Right?

So you must be rehearsing like crazy right now, huh?

[Answer that speaks volumes about their workload] Yeah...

Is it tough?

We're exhausted.

- It's so hard. - This is the hardest it's ever been!

[Attempting to relate, again!] Because with the clothes and everything

you have to pin them in the back, right?

[Pin what now?] You don't know what I mean by pinning?

[Instead of empathy, there is only distance]

- Pinning? - Pinning it?

Because, if the clothes don't fit

[Explaining pinning] you use pins in the back to hold them, right?

- You've never done that? - That's something

we do during the fitting.

[For the actual performance] Everything is already tailored to fit us.

Ah, so you get them tailored?

We just perform with the pins still in!

He has to return the clothes.

[Learning a lot about each other today] With the pins still in...

- These guys get theirs tailored. - That's why we can't do 360 shows!

- Oh! In the back! - We perform with the pins still in.

- Because you can see the pins? - Yeah, everyone would see them.

But what would you even do in a 360-degree show?

- Haha! - Haha!

Are you dissing me?

No, I'm not dissing you.

- But for you to do a 360 without any choreo... - Well, I can't do a blockbuster show.

[Concedes and makes up quickly] I don't have choreography. True.

Before, we used to just practice in our regular dance studio every day.

But this time, we went out to Pocheon.

[To practice for the 360-degree show] We had them build an entire stage.

[They built a stage in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do] Built it.

And we practiced with the lifts and everything.

[Did not know this] For real?

From 1 or 2 in the afternoon until 10 at night, we were there...

It's rare for a dance-focused group to do a 360-degree show

[JYP Ent.] and it's a first for our company, too.

- So all the staff members are on edge. - It's nerve-wracking.

We have no contingency plan for what might go wrong.

So you build an identical replica of the set somewhere else to practice?

[Literally culture-shocked] I'm honestly shocked by this.

I'm shocked too.

We even made the stage height and everything identical.

The only time I've ever heard of that is

you know, Tom Cruise, when he was doing that Mission: Impossible movie.

[For the canyon action scene] To shoot that famous scene

[They built a set modeled after the actual canyon] they built a replica of the canyon.

Really?

That motorcycle jump scene. For that

[For about a year] he practiced for six months or something

[Practiced over 13,000 times] and did the exact same thing.

We're basically doing the same thing.

Wow, global-level teams are different.

This is the first time we've ever built a set.

But man TWICE has already been around for ten years.

[Debut song "Like OOH-AHH"] You guys debuted in October 20th, 2015.

To last for ten years, that's really...

The first big hurdle!

The seven-year contract renewal. That's a huge deal.

You get offers from other places.

Huge signing bonuses...

- But to turn all that down! - You passed on all of it.

[A vague reaction] To re-sign the contract means...

- Is that not it? - It's a huge deal.

I didn't really get any offers. How about you?

You too? Me neither!

Passing the buck, huh? You didn't get any offers?

Do you usually get a lot of offers when your contract is ending?

You get a ton.

- Whoa... Oh! Did you get some? - Me?

Him?

[All eyes shift] I'm a solo entertainer, so...

Oh, I know all about him.

[A tale of two talks] He got a ton.

Back in the day, to me!

- Oh, to pass the message along? - They came to me and said

"Hey, about Jae Seok... his contract is almost up."

Yep, man.

"For Jae Seok."

[Relaying a pre-emptive offer through Seoksam] "we can offer him this much."

"Relay the message."

And I did.

He didn't end up going there, though.

[Just the messenger]

SANA) I guess there was a better offer.

- He doesn't move for the money. - I see!

- Oh, wow. - At least, that's how it was back then.

Wow.

I think he relayed offers to me for a few companies.

That's how they would contact me sometimes.

They don't talk to me about my contract.

[LOL]

[Pinggyego!]

Anyway, like I was saying TWICE has so many hit songs!

[A treasure trove of mega-hits] Mega-hits.

- Do "Cheer Up Baby"! - Very very very

- "Very very"? - What's "Very very"?

"Huh? "Very very..."?

- Huh? - Huh?

[Urgent] Cut this out.

[LOL]

This actually happens to me a lot.

People say, "You have so many hits! I love that one song!" and then

just like now, it turns out it's not one of our songs.

And did you see Seok Jin's face

when NAYEON went "Huh?"

Give me the tape.

[No tapes to give, it's all memory cards] We use memory cards now.

- We don't use tape. - Who sang that one?

[He heard "table" instead of "tape"] I.O.I.

[Confidence rapidly shrinking]

[I.O.I - "Very Very Very" (Released in 2016)] That was by I.O.I.

[Making sure he gets it this time] I.O.I.

[But it's true the song was offered to TWICE] Although that song was originally meant for us.

But I thought he knew that.

[Smug] Of course I knew.

[He did not know] That song was?

- I don't think so... - It was originally a TWICE song.

That song was supposed to be for TWICE?

We even got vocal coaching on it from Producer JYP himself.

[Written and composed by: Park Jin Young] Right, JYP wrote that one.

- That's right, that's right. - Yeah, that's right.

So TWICE almost recorded that song.

We tried singing it.

[Attempting a comeback] It's "Cheer up, baby!"

And then there's this one.

[Wiggle wiggle]

I know "TT."

Your hands aren't going up very high.

- It's just... hmm... - Are you prospecting for oil?

I've gotten so stiff.

[You don't get my body, that's just too much!] Your shoulders?

How should I put it... your reflections?

I'm curious how it feels. To have been at this for 10 years.

Being at it for ten years...

[First, a deep sigh]

JEONGYEON?

It doesn't feel real, honestly.

For ten years, we've been constantly putting out albums, without a break.

[Based on full, mini, and repackage albums] We never stopped.

[Released a total of 39 albums in 10 years] So

it doesn't feel real, but...

my twenties just flew by.

So the fact that I'm 30 now... I honestly can't believe it.

- You can't believe it? - No.

[JEONGYEON's 10-year reflection] It's a little hard to accept.

[Experiencing a mild existential crisis] Really?

It feels like a waste.

[JIHYO's 10-year reflection...] For me, well

everything else feels like I'm just doing what I've always done

but when I come on shows like this I feel so much more comfortable now.

- Oh, really? - That's the biggest difference.

[Agrees] That makes sense.

In the past, I used to be so incredibly nervous.

None of our members were great on variety shows

and we felt a lot of pressure.

But now, it just feels like I'm here to hang out...

Like I just came here to eat.

Well, you did bring a lunch box.

[Not a metaphor, but a fact] Shows how comfortable you are.

I mean, you brought your own meat to eat.

[The owner of the lunch box bows her head]

She heard we were eating Baehongdong

and thought, "Oh! I'll just bring some meat to have with that."

[The picture of ease] How much more relaxed can you be?

[Speaking of JIHYO...] But JIHYO, recently

[Even when filming Whenever Possible] when we filmed with you and SANA

you were like that then, too.

"Yeah, hellooo."

[This is how an 11th-year idol says hello] Back in the day, your greeting was so formal.

Like, "Hello, sir!" or "Hello!" very stiff.

[Now she greets them naturally and comfortably] "Hellooo."

- So much more natural. - Yes, exactly.

In the old days, when we'd film a show the host would ask, "So how are things?" and...

[Heart rate spikes] my heart would just...

[Anxiety has taken over mission control] "Don't make eye contact with me."

Your heart would pound like that?

You know how before a shoot

we'd get a script? We'd go through it, and I'd check

[Pre-checking my questions and answers] exactly what questions I was supposed to answer.

Then when we start filming!

"When's my cue? I need to get my line in."

"Huh? They skipped my question."

That happens a lot.

[They often don't stick to the script] Because we don't follow the script.

And then, if they say you have to go up front and dance...

[Internal screaming] How did you feel?

Starting the night before, I'd be a wreck.

"What do I do? What do I do?"

- What do I do? - My heart would be racing.

Really? Was it that bad?

- Yes. - I had no idea.

- I had no idea. - It was like that until pretty recently.

[The next real-life example] That time we had to do the acrostic poem

on Running Man. Starting the night before!

- I was obsessing over it. - I was literally shaking with nerves.

[An acrostic poem prepared while shivering] I was like, "What am I going to do?"

Didn't your acrostic poem become a huge thing, NAYEON?

- Oh, there was something! - Yes.

You did the "Kkook-kkoo-kka-kka" to Jongkook!

[Impactful enough for Seok Jin to remember] That's right, "Kkook-kkoo-kka-kka."

That went totally viral.

- It's suddenly coming back to me! - We all workshopped it with the other members.

- We came up with it together. - All day long.

We were like, "What should we do? What should we do?" and made that.

[A cute acrostic poem] Since it was "Kook," she did "Kkook-kkoo-kka-kka."

[Kim: Kimchi fried rice, I want some! Jong: Jongkook, I wanna eat with you!]

[Kook: Kkook-kkoo-kka-kka!] That became a huge sensation at the time.

It did.

[Already 7 years ago] I can't tell you how nervous I was.

Back then, things like that were just so stressful.

I mean, I only know this because you're telling me.

TWICE was on TV so much back then

I never would've guessed you were that nervous.

SANA, were you really nervous too?

Extremely. To the point where

I'd get so nervous for a shoot that starting the night before...

I'd wonder if I should have a shot of soju before going.

Does drinking the night before even help?

No, no, I'd start "planning" the night before.

[Didn't hear properly] With a hangover?

[The night before is for planning!] I'd be making a plan. The night before.

"How can I sneak it in?"

Because our company wouldn't allow it

and it wouldn't be good for TWICE's image.

I'd think, "If I put it in a tumbler and drink it would anyone notice?"

We'd even talk about stuff like that!

You just talked about it, right? You never actually did it?

- Right! - That's hilarious.

[The subject and verb just don't match] SANA

[Just imagining it is funny] with soju in a tumbler.

- It was just so much pressure. - It shows how nervous you were.

[Didn't do it!] I was so shaky I considered it.

Are you less nervous now? How about you, JEONGYEON?

I'm nervous...

I'm nervous right now.

I get nervous when you talk to me.

[Exasperated]

Seriously... I'm so nervous.

[Fidgeting...]

Why are you suddenly wringing your hands?

[Anxious]

[Gyeju's dilemma] So, should I just not talk to JEONGYEON?

What am I supposed to do then?

It's making eye contact that makes me nervous. Oh, I'm so nervous.

Okay, then I'll try not to make eye contact when I talk to you.

[Deal] Is that better?

So are there times when you think "I hope he doesn't call on me"?

[Not these two] Not anymore.

It's probably a mix of both.

Yeah, those two feelings coexist.

They coexist because if no one calls on you you get no screen time

but if they do, you get nervous.

[Relatable] And depending on the host

you'll think, "Oh, I can answer that."

[The one question you want always passes you by] "I hope they ask me this one"

and they just pass you by.

But then they'll say "Alright, next up, let's have a dance-off!"

[Oh, please pass me by, please pass me by...] And you're thinking, "I don't want to dance."

"Please don't pick me."

- And then... - SANA!

[They always call my name]

But you know, we've been together for ten years.

Our teamwork is so good now

we can just give each other a look.

[Hand signals]

- "This one's yours." - And if no one says anything

[Sometimes you just have to step up] I'll think, "Guess I have to do it."

[Their roles are naturally divided] We've gotten really good at that.

You really signal "This one's yours!"?

You all know what each other is good at.

So for each of you! Even though there are only four of you here

when you go on a show, what's your assigned role?

First off, DAHYUN is in charge of introducing things, like our songs!

[DAHYUN is always in charge of album intros] DAHYUN always does the album intros.

Oh, DAHYUN has great energy.

And if we have to dance

[MOMO usually takes charge] MOMO is usually the one to go.

If there's a question we don't know how to answer, or if it's too difficult...

Then it's JIHYO's turn!

[Enter the leader!] For things like acceptance speeches...

You know, the important stuff like how we feel about our 10th anniversary!

[Starting with JIHYO's answer now] The speech specialist?

[The conversation continues] Anything that needs a well-thought-out answer.

I got nervous when you asked me earlier about my 10th anniversary feelings.

[Speeches are the leader JIHYO's job!] That's my job.

You should've jumped in...

- Like, "Excuse me for a moment..." - The 10th anniversary is JIHYO's territory.

[TWICE's official speech specialist: Leader JIHYO] The speech specialist.

So then what's NAYEON's specialty?

NAYEON is really good at...

answering awkward questions.

[Handles awkward questions: Eldest NAYEON] That's right.

So she's the one who navigates the tricky stuff.

I guess I like answering awkward questions.

I'll have to ask you an awkward question later.

[A heads-up for a future question] Yeah, I'll ask you some later.

Among the members

[Awkward] which member do you get along with the least?

Honestly, there's no one I don't get along with.

[She handled that pre-announced question well] Wow, she's good.

She's smooth. If you hesitated there your voice would've cracked.

For that part, sincerity is key! Sincerity!

Making eye contact, like this.

With all your heart.

[Awkward] This past month, which member got on your nerves?

No one got on my nerves.

But your answer to everything is just "no one" or "nothing."

[She gets through it, but is this right?]

Haha! For every single question?

[The all-purpose answer: "No one," "No"] To every awkward question, it's "no one," "no."

[Awkward] Is there a member

you wish would try harder?

Wow, you're good at asking awkward questions.

[Seoksam suddenly finds his calling] You've got a talent for it.

But I'm not sure if this is awkward or just plain rude.

[A fine line] Yeah, it's right on the edge.

Ah! See, I can handle awkward questions with poise

but if it's rude, I shut it down immediately!

[With an apology / Talent showcase is over] My apologies.

So what's your role, SANA?

[Thinking...] I'm just there to be comfortable and...

[This one's mine!] I think I know what SANA's role is.

When we're doing an interview the rest of us are giving these serious answers

and there's a moment when you need to lighten the mood a little.

That's when you turn to SANA!

Just like earlier, SANA's story

[Proven today] about almost smuggling soju in a tumbler.

[In charge of mood-lightening anecdotes: SANA] Those kinds of anecdotes are great.

So then, what about our JEONGYEON?

[Nervous] What's my... What's my role?

[The problem-solver steps in] JEONGYEON's role.

[When someone isn't saying much in an interview] Sometimes if she's being too quiet

we'll say, "JEONGYEON, why don't you answer?"

[Input: The Problem-Solver Output: Anecdote from JEONGYEON]

Or, "Hey, that thing happened, why don't you talk about it now?"

[A finely tuned division of labor] So when she's being a bit too passive.

Oh, but!

NAYEON really knows when to jump in, huh?

Awkward questions! Awkward situations!

[Enter NAYEON, the problem-solver] She would go, "Ah, JEONGYEON!"

Remember that time?

[INPUT]

[OUTPUT] "Tell them that story."

- If someone says, "Tell them," then I would. - She's good.

[As we're talking...] But you know, today

[I wish the other members were here too] it would've been even better if everyone was here.

TZUYU, too. It's been a really long time since I've seen her.

Should we call her? What should we do? Should we ask her to come over?

[The problem-solver's signal] You will ask her to come?

[Awkward]

Oh, you really like these questions, don't you?

You weren't nervous about that one?

- Oh, now, I'm flustered. - That one didn't make me nervous.

He can't seem to solve his own awkward situations.

- I was pretty awkward just now. - So? Were you a little nervous?

The problem-solver will speak for you.

"Do we have to?"

[The sentiment is real, though] She's good at getting out of it.

[Do we really have to call them right now?] I could see he couldn't bring himself to say it.

[Safely moving on to the next question] What's TZUYU up to these days?

- She's sleeping. - Probably sleeping.

[We started at 9 a.m. today...] We're recording pretty early today.

Do you normally wake up this early?

No...

Jae Seok) What time do you wake up?

I wake up around 10 a.m.!

- Oh? That's early. - That's pretty early.

So what do you usually do when you wake up?

Well, I have puppies.

[10 a.m. routine: Feed the puppies] I always feed them breakfast at 10 a.m. sharp.

I feed them, then I watch YouTube...

[A peaceful morning routine]

No, she really does.

If you just drop by her house she's in the kitchen watching YouTube.

[Hahayoohohoo!]

What do you watch so much on YouTube?

I watch Pinggyego a lot!

Founding Gyewon) You're not just saying that, are you? For real?

True Gyewon) For real! I watch it all. Even the hour-long ones.

Oh, thank you. So you're one of our Gyewon.

Gyeju) We should really give you some merch as a gift.

So you watch YouTube, and then... do you cook for yourself?

I do a lot of... preparation.

The Queen of Preparation!

Frozen...

Maybe we should have JEONGYEON make the bibim-myeon later.

- Is she good? Is she a good cook? - She's amazing.

[Not the Queen of Cooking, but Preparation!] The Queen of Preparation.

Ah, the Queen of Preparation...

[There's a queen of that, too?] I've heard of the Queen of Cooking.

[Flustered stirring] I've heard of that

Problem-solver) Isn't preparation just... something you do?

The Queen of Preparation?

Hey, if you're good at preparing food it can be really delicious.

You're right.

[God of JORI (Preparation)] So you take semi-prepared foods

and you prepare them to make them delicious?

The other day when I went over she prepared me some tteokbokki.

[A testimonial]

So you have some special tricks?

Uh... no...

[The Queen of Preparation starts praying]

[Repentance] Was my question a little awkward?

JEONGYEON, I'm sorry.

My dear Gyewon, I'm sorry.

I should have treated our Gyewon better.

[I'm sorry] I'm sorry, Gyewon-nim.

[I didn't mean to make our Gyewon feel awkward] Your expression was scary.

[Watching the neighboring club meeting fall apart] I'm so sorry.

I should've looked away when I asked.

[SORRY]

No.

[Moving on] So then, JIHYO, what time do you get up?

- I also get up at 10 a.m. - That's pretty early.

Yeah, she gets up early...

I like to work out in the morning.

[Usually goes to work out after waking up] I usually get up and go work out...

Head to the gym?

And our SANA...

You're not an early riser, are you?

How did you know?

[Coyly] I think we talked about it last time.

- That's right! - I wake up a bit late.

- Around noon to 2 p.m.? - You go to bed late.

[If there's no schedule] If I don't have a schedule

[NAYEON also wakes up super late] I wake up super late.

What time?

Like 2 or 3 p.m.?

So you're a night owl.

Yeah, sometimes I stay up late.

But when I have a day off I feel like "I have to sleep."

I have to sleep for over ten hours.

- You sleep that much? - That's a lot of sleep.

It feels satisfying and refreshing.

[The standard for a fulfilling sleep] Satisfying?

Like, "Wow, I slept so well!"

So if I wake up too early

[Must go back to sleep] I'll be like, "Nope, nope," and go back to sleep.

[The only goal is to recharge] Recharged from the inside out!

Like you've given your body the sufficient rest it needs.

So that feels satisfying for you?

It feels like, "Okay, now I can use this energy."

NAYEON, what about you? Do you cook at home or order in?

I never, ever cook.

- Order in? - I order in, or...

lately I've been wanting to eat out more.

[Prefers to eat out these days] So you go out.

- I try to eat out more. - Really?

Is there any food you've been craving?

[Pyeongyang naengmyeon for the summer!] Since it's hot, things like Pyeongyang naengmyeon.

Pyeong-naeng?

Oh, you're not a fan of it?

I still don't get the taste of it.

My first time trying it was a complete failure.

[The common comparison from non-fans] It honestly tasted like dishwater.

[The taste of dishwater...] Yes! It kind of has that flavor.

But I tried it again recently and succeeded!

- It's good? - Yes!

Do you find yourself craving it now?

If you go to a good place, it's delicious.

[Regarding Pyeongyang naengmyeon] Actually

[A pro storyteller recalls an anecdote] there's someone I still need to apologize to.

My wife and I, about ten-plus years ago

we happened to walk into this big Pyeongyang naengmyeon restaurant.

And I told the server that something tasted off.

[After tasting the blandness for the first time...]

[Filed a complaint] He actually complained.

That can happen. That can totally happen.

Yeah, if it's your first time...

Right! It was my first time ever

so I said, "Excuse me, but I think there's something wrong with the broth."

She said, "Oh, I'm so sorry," and took it back.

[Of course, there was nothing wrong with it] Then she returned saying, "There's nothing wrong."

[Ate it after adding lots of vinegar and mustard] "Can I get some vinegar?"

[Memory of his first Pyeongyang naengmyeon] I just dumped everything in there.

So Pyeongyang naengmyeon is a bit strange at first...

[Recommending a second try] But I think every place has a different style.

[Pinggyego!]

[On MBC's Hangout with Yoo in 2023] I've been to the JYP

[Cafeteria connoisseur] cafeteria.

- How is it? I've only heard stories. - Man! It's unbelievable!

[Famous for using all-organic ingredients] Is it really all organic?

It's all organic.

- The food is incredible. - It's so good.

[Reservations required] But you can't just line up and eat there anymore.

You're lucky you got to try it.

- Have you tried them all? - I've tried it.

[A lucky guy who's eaten at JYP, YG, and HYBE] I've been to HYBE's, of course.

Which one is the best?

[Awkward]

[Pressure] Yu Jae Seok's Choice!

[Problem-solver assists] Just based on taste! Nothing else!

[The lucky man gains courage from the support] Okay, I'm not kidding

it's too hard to pick just one.

They're all so different and all so delicious.

[JYP, a fan of organic food, probably] JYP himself is probably

[built the cafeteria with a parent's heart] a huge fan of organic food.

Speaking of which, how is JYP doing?

It's been quite a while since I've seen him.

Really? He doesn't come to Pyeongtaek?

Pyeongtaek?

The practice studio in Pyeongtaek.

Pocheon!

I don't think he's quite on our wavelength today.

I was like, "Huh? Pyeongtaek?"

[Seoksam's memory is also weak] We were all like, "Pyeongtaek?"

My bad.

But

SANA, you're sitting with your back completely turned to him!

[Could fit another person between them] Not even looking.

Aren't you turned a little too far?

[Preparing her explanation] SANA...

Okay, so when I first sat down

the chairs felt way too close.

[After subtly shifting] So I tried to inch this way a bit

[Finally just pulled the chair away slightly] and then I just pulled it back.

I've just been staring at your left shoulder this whole time...

- Right, Pocheon. - He didn't come to Pocheon, no.

I wonder why he didn't come.

He doesn't come during rehearsals.

But he does come to see the actual concerts.

You don't keep in touch?

With JYP?

No, I don't really talk to JYP.

Maybe if there's some special reason but that's about it.

[Juggling business, stage, screen, and studio] Well, JYP is a busy guy.

[A busy, multi-talented entertainer] He really is busy.

JYP is busy, right?

Apparently, he's performing at Waterbomb.

[Filmed before the Waterbomb performance] Oh, is he?

- At Waterbomb? - Yep.

He's going to Waterbomb?

He was asking for outfit suggestions.

[Please give me some outfit ideas] Really?

[JYP at Waterbomb] Producer JYP is?

[What kind of outfit should he wear?] Uh-huh.

[Confirming again] He's going to wear the vinyl pants again?

In his vinyl pants?

I recommended it.

[He completed the performance in a halter top and vinyl pants]

I'm curious now.

- I want to go see it. - I do too!

Really?

- It sounds fun. - Doesn't it sound fun?

[53-year-old JYP, in vinyl pants at Waterbomb] But man, JYP...

[JYP becomes Waterbomb's pink hot guy] I wonder how much he's preparing for it.

[Swept the buzz with a pink see-through look] I know, right?

Are you guys going to Waterbomb?

[Waterbomb Seoul 2024 during solo promotions] I performed there last year.

You know, I've never actually been to Waterbomb.

Never even attended.

What's the vibe like at Waterbomb?

- It's amazing. - Is it?

How is it? Does everyone get really into it?

First of all

[Most attendees show up in swimwear] most people are in swimsuits

if the weather's nice.

[An event for adults where alcohol is permitted] And there are people having a beer too.

On top of tons of places to eat

there are games and lots of fun stuff to do.

[A major summer festival perfect for having fun] So the whole atmosphere is just incredible.

Ever since we started talking about this

my heart is pounding...

[Joking] Thinking about going?

[Serious] Actually, I am performing at one.

[Jee Seok Jin is storming the Waterbomb stage!] For real?

Yeah, I'm invited.

Whoa, congratulations!

[Huge applause for Dad's new challenge] With Ye Eun.

When NAYEON heard

you were going to Waterbomb...

No, I just heard him saying his heart was pounding just thinking about it.

Ever since I decided to perform there I've been so nervous.

My palms are getting sweaty.

Are you going alone?

I just released an album.

[Chungjujissi - "Milkshake"] "Milkshake."

[Invited to Waterbomb with Ye Eun] Oh, you know it.

Of course, I saw it.

- So are you going to wear a swimsuit? - No!

Why not? It's Waterbomb. Shouldn't you wear a swimsuit?

Of course not!

- I wore a swimsuit. - You should wear the vinyl pants.

For real?

[For real!] So you can have a showdown with JYP.

[For real 2.0] You could steal all the headlines.

[Unanimous recommendation for vinyl pants] You have to put thought into the outfit.

- Right? - Absolutely.

Ugh, whenever I talk about this, people say

"Are you going to go shirtless?"

It's better, since you get totally soaked.

You do?

[Artists and crowd splash into a water gun battle] They shoot water at you.

[A festival enjoyed by all] For real?

And there are water jets on the side, too.

They don't just spray you with water

it's like a water cannon.

And I have to spray them back, too.

That's how people get into it and have a good time.

So the audience shoots at you?

They shoot at you, and you shoot back.

You can't shoot at the person on stage.

But alas... that is the way of Waterbomb.

That's the rule.

- What is he saying? - They shoot at you?

But you have to get wet to make it more fun.

- Right, I get that, but... - It's no fun if you don't get wet!

Ah... so they shoot at you?

Are you going to scold them if they shoot water at you?

[Sternly] "Hey!"

"Excuse me."

"Don't spray water up here."

"Excuse me, you'll get the mic wet."

[Skit material] That would actually be pretty funny.

"See my hair powder running?"

[Everything else is fine but please spare my hair?]

"I'm not cool with this."

[Guaranteed to go viral] "Don't spray my hair."

That's why I said it.

This record will be hard to break.

[Jee Seok Jin / Age 59] As the oldest performer in Waterbomb history.

I'm older than JYP.

You should go in a wetsuit or something.

Oh, that would totally go viral.

[Another suggestion to go viral] Go in a wetsuit.

[Actually considering it] A wetsuit... that's not a bad idea.

With the hood and everything!

[Seoksam is no fool] NAYEON, are you being serious or joking?

Oh, maybe not? Sorry. Maybe I went too far.

Tell me if you're serious. I'll really think about it.

For a second there, I was serious.

But if you do that wouldn't people not know who you are?

Exactly.

[Surprise attack] Have you been to Waterbomb?

I haven't...

Was that... too sudden for you just now?

No, that was fine. Since I haven't been there.

[It's fine because there's no anecdote]

SANA, have you been?

I haven't

but when NAYEON performed, I was so fascinated

that I put it on the big living room TV and just watched her like this alone.

I felt like I was going to cry. I was so moved.

[The story of feeling moved by Waterbomb at home] NAYEON was the first in our group to go solo.

[The first TWICE member to go solo] She was the first to debut solo

[And also the first to perform at Waterbomb] and none of us had ever performed at Waterbomb

and there she was. My girl, up there singing and dancing her heart out.

- She even sang a TWICE song by herself. - She's very F...

[A knowing laugh] It's true, I did sing a TWICE song alone.

She actually sang a TWICE song by herself on stage.

[Two members who didn't know] You didn't know, did you? See.

You need a member like her.

One song, "Alcohol-Free."

It's not easy to sing a group song solo.

It was really hard.

But back then

I only had two title tracks of my own.

But I had to fill out the setlist

[A TWICE song was added upon request] so they asked if I could add one of our titles.

[And NAYEON shone on stage all by herself] But once she gets on stage, NAYEON nails it.

She's been in the industry for ten years.

If you count their trainee years it's been over a decade!

She just had her 20th anniversary!

[JIHYO / Age 28] My 20th anniversary of joining JYP.

- Really? - Yep.

Wait, how old were you when you joined?

[Started as a trainee at age 8-9] I was eight or nine.

JIHYO was famous for being the longest-serving trainee at JYP.

Wow, I have so much respect for that.

NAYEON, how old were you when you joined?

[Started training in 8th-9th grade] I was in 8th or 9th grade.

[Joined at the same time] JEONGYEON and I are probably at our 15th year now.

I was a trainee for seven years.

Wow, JEONGYEON was there for a long time too.

SANA, you came from Japan. How old were you when you came over?

I came right after graduating middle school.

Before my friends started high school

[SANA / 13th year with the company] I joined JYP.

[A thought upon hearing their tenure] When you think about it, JYP was

a big company back then but for it to grow even bigger

TWICE played a huge role in that.

Treat us well!

[A quiet but firm statement] JIHYO...

That's the voice of experience!

Quiet but firm.

Treat them well.

Now that it's been 20 years...

JYP is going to be watching this, you know.

[Dancing happily] Of course he'll be watching.

JYP is going to think, "Ah, that's right!"

He might have been thinking about it

but now he might actually do something he's been hesitating on.

I think he'll want to come on this show before he does any of that...

[You Gyewon seem to like TWICE so here I am - JYP]

Did you not try to book JYP?

Can you even picture it? Producer JYP sitting here...

JYP is such a character too.

- Have you been to his concert? - To where?

[JYP's concert] Producer JYP's concert.

You're asking a lot of awkward questions.

[LOL]

[Pinggyego!]

There are times you get burnt out. When you've been doing this for so long.

So for each of you...

I'll start over there first, okay? Don't get too nervous...

[Me avoiding the professor's gaze in class.mp4] Don't be nervous.

JEONGYEON! You're last this time.

Yes, yes, okay.

- I'll go that way, then come this way, got it? - Yes, yes, I got it.

[Time secured] Starting with SANA.

SANA, what was the toughest time for you?

There was a year when we prepared nine albums.

[Nine albums in one year?] In one year?

- Not nine songs? - That's right.

And shot ten music videos!

Right.

That time was a little bit tough.

The physical exhaustion was one thing

but because we were so physically drained we had no mental energy left.

I didn't even know what I was doing anymore.

I wanted to focus on each one and cherish it since it's something that lasts forever.

I wanted to work hard.

But I couldn't control my own heart.

[A packed schedule demanding high focus] In reality, the schedule was packed.

What songs came out that year that you had to prepare nine albums?

[The year they promoted in Japan and Korea] We were debuting in Japan, too.

And back then we had less experience than we do now.

[Three title tracks in Korea alone that year] So we had more albums in Korea

[And with Japanese promotions on top of that...] and we had to do well in Japan, too.

[An increased number of albums] So we had a lot in Japan as well.

And while doing all that

we had to start preparing for the following year, too.

[An exhausting schedule to even hear] We prepare things so far in advance.

- So you did nine at once? - That's right.

Since we had so many albums coming out we had to do that many promotions.

[The most hectic schedule since their debut] I think that was the hardest part.

So you wanted to give your all and really focus on your work

but no matter how much you try to power through there's a limit.

[On the other hand, in NAYEON's case...] For me, the physical stuff

it's all fine once it passes. I think I endured it pretty well.

But after touring abroad for quite a while

and now that we're not going abroad for a bit

I think I'm feeling a bit of burnout with work.

I'm feeling a bit restless, too.

Wasn't that when your solo album came out?

And wasn't that when you went to Waterbomb?

[A reasonable suspicion from the storyteller duo]

So Waterbomb was my...

[The water that quenched my parched life] "I need to get sprayed with some water."

While getting sprayed with water...

And spraying water back.

I was fine back then!

[A more recent concern] I was fine then, but these days

since we're just practicing and not touring

I have a bit more free time.

But when I'm on break, all I do is sleep.

So as I've gotten more days off

[Searching for a new hobby] I've been trying to find fun hobbies.

I'm even thinking of trying to learn to drive these days.

Oh, you can't drive yet?

- Gyeju) You don't have a license? - I do.

[A license gathering dust] Oh, you have one but you just haven't driven.

It's just been sitting in my wallet.

[Recommending driving lessons] Then you should definitely try driving.

[Recommendation 2.0] Going for a drive by yourself is great.

That's my dream right now.

I want to have my own car key.

[Putting the cart before the horse] Just the car key?

You want to put a keychain on your car key, right?

Oh! I'm dying to put a keychain on it.

I've already bought plenty of keychains.

[All that's needed: Only the car key] I just need the car key.

After getting your license you've never practiced on the road?

JEONGYEON gave me a lesson once.

We filmed it for a video.

[Haven't practiced since] But after that?

I haven't driven at all.

What about you, JIHYO?

What was the question?

I can't remember...

[We were talking about our toughest times] I'm sorry.

[Dying of laughter] She's so relaxed now.

And being the speech specialist and all...

[Got lost while listening to the driving story] I was listening to her story and forgot.

Back when she was nervous

- she'd be preparing her own answer by now! - She'd already be thinking about it.

[Prepping what to say when nervous] Right, you'd be preparing what to say.

But look how relaxed she is now.

And you know, I love this vibe from JIHYO.

It's like she's in her own living room...

I'm so sorry...

[Same page on the living room talk vibe] Like you're just chatting with friends.

- I love it. - So relaxed.

The toughest time!

Oh, right.

After debuting?

[Clarifying: Toughest time after debut] The toughest period after you debuted.

I think the hardest time for me was around our first contract renewal.

[Agrees]

It was my first time dealing with a contract.

[The first contract you sign as an adult] It was really not easy.

Honestly, for nine people to share their opinions on something like that

that was a first for us so that was hard. But also

even after negotiating the terms

I kept worrying, "Is this the right call?"

So I think that was the most difficult time.

And each member had slightly different opinions

[Reaching a consensus was not easy] so trying to align all of them was tough.

And it's such an important time and decision in my life.

My opinion would change from one day to the next.

[Deep in thought every day] There was that, too.

Still, for all nine of you to re-sign at the same time

and continue promoting is really amazing.

Alright, the moment has finally come.

JEONGYEON, are you ready?

During all that, she asked me another question to check in.

[1 minute ago / After debuting?] Was it after debuting, or before?

She even double-checked!

I think I've given you plenty of time.

You've had the most time to think!

[Dizzy from the hosts' play-by-play attack] This has to be something

really memorable.

The most realistically difficult...

- Should I... tell you? - Yes.

[An air of great importance] I'm on the edge of my seat.

- You're being so dramatic. - Here it comes, all ready to listen!

Just how epic is her story going to be?

This is where I felt the most pressure.

Early in our debut, I didn't have many parts

and I didn't get much screen time.

So I was only on camera for a few seconds.

Since there are so many members too.

But that didn't bother me.

What was hard was when my parents would bring it up.

[Seeing her parents upset hurt her more] "How come you're on so little?"

That's what upset me the most.

[Spoken by someone with 10 years of obscurity] Right, that's what really hurts.

Your parents probably didn't bring it up easily.

[Glances] They must have thought about it for a long time

and brought it up because they were just genuinely curious.

[Observing the wiggling] But, sorry, man

ever since the Pyeongtaek incident

He's just...

That is straight-up documentary vibes.

From the parents' perspective...

[Shall we try to understand?]

After he said "Pyeongtaek," he's suddenly so...

He's clasping his hands together.

[No more... mistakes... Never...] Everything he does is just...

[The good daughter clasps her hands in response] How must the parents have felt?

Of course, I totally understand the parents' perspective.

It was the same when I watched on YouTube.

Whenever he tries to speak

Jae Seok's lips...

[Busted by a Pinggyego expert]

He's just trying to find a way to tease him.

The second he starts talking!

[A talk show host's mouth, hunting for prey]

He's always looking at Seok Jin while I'm talking!

He's always watching me!

[Jae Seok's POV / Eyes locked on you] Thinking, "Is there anything I can pick on?"

- Hahaha! - But I could even see it on YouTube.

And I realized something.

That you must really adore Seok Jin.

[Disgusted] That's not it.

- No, NAYEON, that's not it at all. - No, NAYEON, that's not what it is.

Seeing it in person, I realized it's love.

[Feeling love from Pinggyego Um, learning about love]

After the Pyeongtaek incident he's suddenly so invested in your stories.

[Trying his best to refute] "Oh, I see," and all that.

In his eyes, Seok Jin must be so adorable!

[The cute one playing dumb] Is it Once-eu? Or Once-jeu?

[Suddenly double-checking the fandom name] Is it -seu or -jeu?

[Sweetly] Our dear ONCE?

[ONCE) Huh?]

[Hugging her arms tightly]

Are you cold? Should I close the door?

No, it's just a habit.

Hey, I'm burning up!

[Faints from the cute tantrum]

Hey, who here thinks it's cold?

I noticed you tend to do that.

[A situation ripe for misunderstanding] JIHYO's been hugging her arms this whole time.

- It's a habit of mine. - A habit.

Her skin is so nice...

[Members know it’s a real habit, not an excuse] It's a habit? You're not cold?

- I'm not cold. - It's perfect in here.

Are your shoulders cold? You sure?

[Condition: Pleasant] It feels nice and cool.

Let me know if you get cold!

If you're cold you can put the chicken on your shoulder.

- Put what on me? - This guy?

[Ping-Chicken's hidden feature: Shoulder warmer] Hey, why would you put a chicken on her?

[Benefits: Coziness, happiness]

- NAYEON can totally pull it off. - Cute.

It goes really well with the chicken.

The chicken looks really good on you.

I look good with the chicken?

[Too late to take it back, she already heard] No, I mean the chicken.

- That chicken is... really - I was actually born in the year of the pig.

Oh...

You look good with it.

You know... that chicken looks like Jae Seok.

[A quick check]

Because its mouth sticks out.

Of course, the chicken's mouth sticks out.

I never thought you looked like a chicken but you actually do.

[Something new every day!]

Do you sell those?

[Staff) Huh?]

You should start selling them soon!

[Can't stop laughing]

It's a good idea, no?

[What are you, the CEO?] Who says you can tell them what to sell?

[Honorary Gyewon, right here!] You need that kind of thing.

- That's how Pinggyego keeps going, right? - It's so squishy and...

It is pretty cute.

[Yu-Navi, getting the talk back on track] Anyway, we got sidetracked.

So JEONGYEON was a little upset because of that.

[Toughest time: Seeing that she had few parts] It was fine with me

[and that her parents were upset] but seeing my parents so upset...

How are your parts in the new song?

[Parts are distributed more evenly now] It's become more even now. Much fairer.

As a group promotes things get distributed more evenly.

But aren't there also times

where you wish you had fewer parts? Does that happen?

[Awkward question handler, activate!] I think that happens too.

Because depending on the style of the song...

You might think "This will be hard for me to pull off."

[Inspiration strikes] Oh, that's a good one. Then for each of you...

Something that didn't suit you.

I'll start over here this time.

[Turning on his talk show blinker]

While promoting as TWICE what was the hardest thing to pull off!

[New topic] A concept?

[A song or concept that was hard to pull off] A song, a concept, or a part.

[First up] For me

"CHEER UP" and "TT" were really, really hard.

Why?

[Can't understand] They're so good, though.

You were great in them.

As a trainee, I'd never once sung a cute song like that.

Those songs are super cutesy.

Yeah, the songs and everything.

Because we kind of got tricked.

Our debut concept was "wild edge."

[Debut song "Like OOH-AHH"] It was supposed to be

[Debuted with a "girl crush" vibe] a bit tougher, girl-crush concept.

["CHEER UP" suddenly had a bright concept] Then it suddenly changed.

So the concept changed.

So if you think about it "Like OOH-AHH" and "CHEER UP"

- have a very different feel, right? - They do.

And since "CHEER UP" blew up, "TT"!

[The lovely concepts continued after that] So you guys just continued down that path.

So that's why it was tough for JEONGYEON.

For our debut, I had a short haircut and a boyish, girl-crush thing going on.

I wore smokey makeup and everything.

But then all of a sudden...

They told me to be all lovely and sing "Cheer up"...

[Wild edge gone A tough adjustment to being lovely]

They told me to be pretty.

No, I can totally see that.

If the vibe of a song suddenly switches to cutesy

[Embarrassing but unavoidable] you feel super awkward about it

but you have to do it.

[Continuing] JIHYO, what was tough for you?

[A song that was hard for JIHYO to pull off] I feel like nothing would be hard for JIHYO.

There's something that's hard for me lately.

I've been practicing for the concert

but I just can't hit that tone anymore for songs like "What is Love?"

[Big agreement from the Gyewon] Right.

I used to be able to sing it so lovingly but now...

- That's how you sang it? - What was that?

Are you cold? Freezing?

[The all-knowing problem-solver] No, I totally get it. It really doesn't come out.

Please, just listen to "What is Love?" one more time.

I sang it so sweetly.

But now, I can't produce that sweet tone at all.

- Like "How did I even make that sound?" - Exactly.

[The vocal cords are aging, too] At that age

[The tone changes slightly with age] there are certain tones.

Certain tones you can only make then.

[NAYEON's turn] NAYEON, what was the hardest for you?

It's not anymore, but at the time, I remember

"Like OOH-AHH" was a bit tough for me.

[Curious] Why?

Back then, my vocal range was pretty low.

["Everyone's after me, they won't leave me alone"] But the thing about "Like OOH-AHH" is

[But it starts high from the beginning] it's so high from the very beginning.

And somehow, I ended up with the high parts.

So from then on I had to force myself to hit those high notes.

It was a bit tough back then

[But she can handle it now] but now I'm used to it, so...

- Are you more comfortable with it now? - Yes.

[And yet...] So before you sing it

[There's always a part that makes you nervous] you get nervous about that part.

I think this happens a lot.

When you're on stage, and during one part

your voice cracks once!

So terrifying.

You get nervous every time you sing that part.

Has your voice ever cracked, NAYEON?

Yes, it happens to me a lot.

[The members confirm] It does happen a lot.

[Listen to this!] So down-to-earth.

My range is low, but I have to sing high so it just keeps happening...

When did it happen once?

[Recalling the episode immediately] Okay, a classic example.

[During "FANCY" promotions] During "FANCY," our movements

[Since there are so many members] are really big.

[The choreography covers a lot of ground] Because there are so many of us.

After I sing my part before the next person's part starts

[Moving this much all at once] I have to get out of the way quickly.

So as I was moving to the far left while singing, my voice just...

[The original is "I love you"] The line is "I love you," but it came out...

"Love yooouu!"

[An "I love you" that makes you doubt their heart] My voice cracked.

But it always cracks... spectacularly.

- It never cracks just a little bit. - Spectacularly.

[A clear high note, a clear voice crack!] It's a full-on crack.

[Making her presence known] Spectacularly.

When we hear it through our in-ears

it's a total disaster, honestly...

So whenever that part comes up I start to lose my mind...

I have to run across the stage I have to sing this, and it's so high...

[The solution she found] So after that, during concerts

I changed the concept a bit.

I act all cool

stop, and sing.

[Smart! Separating the running and the high note] So you handle the hard part first.

So when your voice cracks a bit

you guys look at each other and just laugh?

We just burst out laughing!

[An unexpected try-not-to-laugh challenge] Explosive laughter.

So I feel so bad because of me...

She can't sing her part because she can't stop laughing.

Because my part is right after that.

[The victim of the "I love you"] To the point where she can't sing.

Ah, but like that...

If it's so raw...

If it's that raw, you can't help but laugh.

My voice even cracks when I'm just talking.

The composer should just assign parts that match your vocal range.

But TWICE's songs...

[A high vocal range that gives off bright energy] They need to be bright and energetic.

"Cheer Up, Baby" is really high, too.

[A somewhat desperate cheer] It's super high.

But what's a huge relief

and I'm so grateful for this

is that our fans love it when we mess up!

[Thank you, ONCE...] That's something to be really thankful for.

They think it's funny and tease us for it!

[The live aspect makes them more relatable] They like seeing us be imperfect.

[A mistake anecdote just came to mind] Something that just popped into my head

it was during our first or second tour.

The members all gather in a straight line

[The members burst out laughing just hearing the intro]

and then we break off into a diagonal line!

[From here to here] So you turn and spread out?

[while turning your body] We turn our bodies as we spread out.

That must look cool.

[Trying not to laugh] But we all have to match the timing

and move out like dominoes.

But during a really quiet part

[The star of the episode: JEONGYEON] JEONGYEON, who's right next to me

- just went flying by herself. - Flying where?

[How did she fly?] So, we're all standing here like this

and we're supposed to spread out together

but she just goes tumbling alone!

[Can't watch...] When it wasn't time yet?

And JEONGYEON was at the very end

so she had to turn faster and farther than anyone

and she just flew with all her might.

- Plus, she was the first member to turn... - But JEONGYEON really gives it her all.

[Squeezes eyes shut...]

[Our JEONGYEON, who's always so passionate] She's so passionate, she goes too hard.

She's one of the hardest members when it comes to choreography

but she also messes up really often.

[A backhanded compliment] So it's really noticeable.

So you work hard but you mess up often.

But it's not just JEONGYEON all the members mess up a lot.

That one just came to mind, so I mentioned it.

Those kinds of mistakes are inevitable.

It happens all the time.

But you know, this is what's so strange.

Even though you practice for so long and prepare so much

sometimes on stage, you just draw a blank.

- It happens. - Like, your brain just shuts down, you know?

- Yes! - It's so strange.

- Totally. - After practicing so much...

Why does that happen?

I feel like I've sung it thousands of times

and suddenly I can't remember!

[It's a real mystery] It's truly a strange phenomenon.

I don't remember who it was, but on a music show

they wrote it here.

[Open book concert: Lyrics written on palm] The lyrics to the song?

Sometimes when they do a hand gesture you see it written there!

You see that sometimes.

This was a long time ago, in a historical skit.

[The lines can be very long] There are long lines like, "Your Majesty..."

This veteran actor had memorized it

but he wrote it on the floor.

[Open book was common back in the day] That happened a lot.

Because you're bowing down and talking to the king

[Possible to cheat without being obvious!] you can see it when you bow down.

[Eyes lighting up at the Think Big idea] You don't have to lift your head.

He wrote it down during rehearsal.

[After returning from a hearty lunch] They went for lunch, and when they came back

he changed his clothes and went in to film.

- He started, "Your Majesty..." but it was gone. - Oh my!

[Captivated]

While they were gone, the cleaning staff

[The lines were wiped away in that short time] wiped it all away with a rag.

So he messed up the take!

[Bad ending]

Even if you have it memorized it's different having it there versus not.

[A completely different psychological pressure] Completely different.

I think for interviews we've taped paper onto our palms before.

For an interview?

[For pre-arranged interviews during music shows] For the comeback interviews.

Since it's all scripted...

But you might get confused...

- So like this. - Or

if you're in the second row

you stick it on the back of the member in front of you!

[Geniuses no less brilliant than the last anecdote]

That happens a lot on Music Bank.

That's incredible.

So you guys have your own tricks, too!

[Vibes from 10 years of experience] You've got your own know-how.

There's an order for the interview and you have to memorize that too.

[The pressure is heightened because it's live] My turn and everything.

And it's live too.

Oh, speaking of which the song that just came out...

We haven't talked about it at all.

Oh my!

Well, we can just get to it now.

[Almost forgot to talk about their latest news] Let's do it now.

- What's the title? - What's the new song?

It's called "THIS IS FOR."

- "THIS IS FOR." - Th...

- That's what it's called. - What does it...

"THIS IS FOR."

[Senses something is wrong]

NAYEON...

[We are really not vibing today] I was just repeating it for you...

Wait, are you...

[Honorary Gyewon's thoughtfulness for listeners] Some people listen to this while they're working.

[This Is "For"] "For."

F-O... F-O-R?

F. O. R.

As in "For you"?

The title is "THIS IS FOR," and the first line is actually

"This is for all my ladies," is how it starts.

[And repeat] So this is...

It says ladies, but this song is

for those who've lost their confidence

or are unsure of themselves

"This is what I can say to those who have been hurt."

That's how it begins.

Do you like the vibe of this new song JEONGYEON?

I love it. It's so much fun.

It's perfect to listen to in the summer!

Not cringey or anything?

Not at all.

We've graduated from that.

[Graduated with a B.A. in Cuteness]

How many years has it been since you graduated from being cute?

I think it's been quite a while.

Because when you have nine members in a group

you can have a song and think "Ugh... I'm not so sure about this one."

[How did you know? They actually vote] We vote.

- We speak our minds. - You vote?

Before we start.

There were some members who didn't like this song, either.

JEONGYEON didn't like it much.

You didn't like it, JEONGYEON?

No...

You just said you liked it.

[30 seconds ago / I love it] Well, she has to like it now, no other choice.

Oh, is that how it is?

I have to like it now.

[If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!] Can't be helped. Once it's decided

you've just got to go along with it.

So who liked this song the most?

[These two right here] Right here, these two.

Oh, you two?

It wasn't just, "I love this song."

It was more, "We have to do this now!"

[A strategic choice considering the timing] At this timing?

The time has come to do this.

We need to do the performance for this

pick a concept, and show this side of us. That was more our stance.

[Now even more curious about the song] So... can we hear the song today?

- Should I play it for you? - Please play it.

When does this come out?

[The song wasn't released yet during filming] On the 12th.

[The song was released yesterday, as of upload] So it came out yesterday.

Ready?

Huh?

I thought you meant you were leaving.

[Can't let you go yet!] That surprised me.

[Let's get to the music!] Wow, she's a pro.

This is for all my ladies Who don't get hyped enough

If you've been done wrong Then this your song so turn it up

I wanna go where the baddest girls are from

This is good.

It's good.

You've gotta hook them in the first 30 seconds.

Beep beep beep

I'm outside your door so let's go don't let that

This is so good.

It's you and me how it should be

- Yeah, let's go! - Here it comes.

This is for all my ladies Who don't get hyped enough

[Diligently cheating]

The choreography for this one is really powerful.

JEONGYEON keeps doing the choreography on the side.

This is the dance I'm least confident in.

[What is she talking about now?]

[Can't figure JEONGYEON out]

What is going on? Do you need counseling or something?

[Urgently stopping the music] You have a lot of issues with this song.

What's wrong? You were dancing so well.

It's too hard...

- It's hard? - It's so hard...

So it's intense.

You have to shake your butt a lot.

[Like this] A dance where you shake your butt

and as you shake it, your arms go like this.

Is that why JEONGYEON is struggling?

Like twerking!

[Twerking is too much for me] She really hates it.

She really hates shaking her butt back and forth!

[New concern: Frequent butt dances] That's right, she said she didn't want to do it.

But she's good at it!

[When she does it, she works hard] She works hard.

- I do it, but... - With a look of resignation.

[Hunch activated] What's your MBTI?

You seem like an I.

- I'm an E... - You're an E?

[Feeling somewhat sorry] JEONGYEON, I can't get anything right with you.

- You're really an E? - I am...

Wait, JEONGYEON is an E?

[ESFJ. I used to be an I, but I changed] I changed.

[Questioning the other I] You're an I, right?

I'm an E... We're really not vibing, huh?

You're really an E?

[Feels like the world is lying to me...] We're really not vibing.

For an E, aren't you turned too far away from me?

[Growing sense of betrayal]

I've turned back now.

Ah, so you have.

You're an E, right? An E...

I'm an I.

[Current success rate: 0%]

JIHYO, wait a sec.

- I can get you right. - He's a bad judge of character.

[The last one standing gets nervous] I got all three wrong, right?

You must be an E.

I am.

I got one right.

But anyone can tell JIHYO is an E.

I know, right?

[Reviewing his notes] E, I, and E.

So JEONGYEON is a planner.

So when you travel, do you plan?

I... don't really travel.

[Confirmed E]

Because I don't want to have to plan.

Oh, really?

- Because you'd feel pressured by the plan? - Exactly.

[Worried about being tied down by a plan] I don't want that stress.

Have you ever just packed a bag and left on a whim?

[Not exactly on a whim, but...] Not on a whim, but...

[She has taken off before] Did you have a plan?

Yes, I had a plan.

After our promotions ended I'm going straight to Gangwon-do.

So what did you do in Gangwon-do?

I went surfing. By myself.

JEONGYEON is really active.

She is.

Jae Seok) But from what I heard earlier

she said she just watches YouTube at home.

I thought she was a homebody...

You're full of contradictions today.

That's just her personality.

She's full of contradictions.

[Not just today I'm always full of contradictions!]

I see.

[The reliable problem-solver] She's good at explaining away awkward situations.

You're always full of contradictions?

[The contradictions JEONGYEON showed today] So you live a life of lies.

[Likes the song but not confident in the dance] From what I've heard so far

[A planner who hates planning] it's all completely contradictory.

[Watches YouTube at home but is the most active]

What else is there?

She'll be like, "I want to go so bad! Let's go, let's go! Let's do this!"

And then she doesn't show up.

[Feigns ignorance...] She makes the plans and doesn't show up.

Do you have a nickname?

Yoo-Bails-Alot.

She sets everything up and then she bails.

[And that's how she got the name Yoo-Bails-Alot!] She makes the plans.

[Yoo-Bails-Alot sometimes lives a life of lies] She says, "Okay, let's do it"?

And then she doesn't come.

So now, no one even asks me anymore.

[Netflix drama When Life Gives You Tangerines] I thought it was from that show you know.

[Thought the nickname was related to that!] That's what I thought it was.

Gwan Sik's line.

[A line from Gwan Sik, Geum Myeong's father] "If things go south, we pull back!"

I thought it was that, but I guess not.

She bails even when things don't go south...

What's something you heard a lot at home?

Lately

I just hear "You?" a lot.

The phrase "You?"

[The youngest of three sisters] Since I'm the youngest

whenever I do something

I get "You?"

I hear that a lot from my family.

- Like, "You're doing this?" - Yes, yes.

Does it mean, "You sure you can pull this off?"

[Another example] I was on "WSWF" recently.

Right.

You were.

- You were on SWF? - Street Woman Fighter...

I know...

[Looking for a hole to crawl into]

I'm a huge fan, NAYEON.

[Now now, look at me...] I'm a huge fan...

You sounded like you had no idea!

[Seok Jin, as seen by NAYEON] SWF?

I know! I watch SMF, SWF, all of it!

I'm so sorry.

- You were on it this time, in Ojo Gang! - I haven't seen the new season.

[TEAM Ojo Gang Participated in the "WSWF" mega crew mission]

That was so cool, too.

I was bragging about it to my sister

and my sister told my mom, and my mom went...

[Tilts head]

"You?"

[My proud moment, shattered!]

I hear that a lot, even from my sisters, too.

So I told my middle sister I was coming on Pinggyego today

and she said, "You?"

[The most recent "You?"]

- Why, why? What did your middle sister say? - Because my middle sister loves Pinggyego.

And she asked me to pass on a message.

- That she's a fan of Jee Seok Jin. - Me?

You mean Seung Yeon?

No!

[Eldest sister: Actor Gong Seung Yeon] My middle sister, who's a civilian.

[Middle sister: A fan of Seoksam and a Gyewon] Seung Yeon is the oldest.

So your middle sister...

There are Shy Seok Jins everywhere.

[Shy Seok Jins are stationed everywhere] But they never openly

say, "I am a fan of Jee Seok Jin."

A Shy Seok Jin will never appear in front of Jee Seoksam.

- They relay the message through others! - Why do I always hear about it secondhand?

[From JIHYO] Earlier at the salon, too. Who was it?

[Heard about another Shy Seok Jin earlier] Someone at the salon said they were a fan.

A Shy Seok Jin never reveals themselves.

[Shy Seok Jin lives on through word of mouth] They always ask others to pass it on.

That's how I always hear it.

What about you, NAYEON?

I don't think I have any nicknames from the members.

You know, at first, I used to get NAYEON and JIHYO mixed up a lot.

- We look totally different. - We used to hear that a lot as trainees.

Oh, right!

Oh, that's right! I guess so.

I could always tell them apart.

NAYEON has a cute bunny look.

- Was that an offensive thing to say? - No, not at all.

[Flustered]

You're absolutely right.

After the Pyeongtaek incident his hosting has gotten so meek.

Because, ah... ah... Asu? Ah...

ONCE.

[Oops...]

Where did the 'A' come from?

Haha...

Look... I can't memorize all the fandom names.

I think I know why you were crying.

[Right?]

But he's so charming.

Don't just say it to say it.

[I'm not!]

- He's so charming. - You sound so insincere right now.

Wow, I've never heard anyone sound so insincere.

But I was being totally sincere...

[The gap cannot be bridged] You said that with zero sincerity.

I think I get why you have hearts in your eyes.

No, no, no, no.

He's so fun, right?

He's so much fun.

Man, he's really

the king of contradictions.

He's just living a life of lies.

How can you memorize them all?

No, it's normal not to know.

It's totally normal.

I always used to get MOMO and SANA confused!

- Oh, me too! - Right?

If you see them in photos, it's really confusing!

Why are you confused?

- Right, JEONGYEON? You did too. - Yeah, me too!

[Finding common ground at last] I was always so confused by MOMO and SANA.

No, seriously.

Even with this album! I kept getting MOMO and SANA mixed up.

- That's going too far! - Still?

I can see how I would get them confused but you're a member...

How can a member get them confused on the new album?

For this album cover

[From left: MOMO, NAYEON, SANA] we all wore the same wig for a group shot.

[The styling made it even more confusing] And we wore the same outfits.

Those two really do look alike.

At first, I didn't admit it

[They really do look similar in photos] but when you see the photos, you're like, what?

How about SANA, does she have a nickname?

Kim SANA!

[Because her Korean is so good] Yes, Kim SANA.

[A nickname given by fans: Kim SANA] Because her Korean is so good.

But Kim SANA really rolls off the tongue.

[A very fitting sound] Right?

SANA, what's something you heard a lot at home?

Oh, since I was little...

I heard that I was scatterbrained a lot.

[Example] "Why are you so scatterbrained?"

Before I was born, my mom

wanted a daughter who was lively like the cartoon character Shin-chan.

[A mother who wanted a mischievous daughter] She hoped for a mischievous kid.

And when I was born

I was more lively and scatterbrained than my mom ever imagined.

You were like that since you were a kid?

Yep!

My mom would go, "You're all over the place!"

So you were always fidgeting? Running around?

Going to my grandma, then my dad, then my mom.

For me, it was the opposite.

I was always told to hurry up.

[NAYEON was the opposite case] "Why are you so slow?"

Yeah.

It's not time to be relaxed but I'm acting relaxed.

But I'm never late.

- Oh, then that's all that matters! - Right! Then it's fine.

But there's no time left and I'm still taking my sweet time

so JEONGYEON gets really frustrated with me...

You were late for school a lot.

Fight, fight, fight.

[Requesting the floor] I have something to say.

[Floor granted] Go ahead.

I think this is it! It wasn't like

I was so late the gate was closing.

But you were still late.

I just remembered something.

[One year younger / one year older] We were a year apart in school

[School start times were 5-10 minutes apart] so our start times were off by 5 to 10 minutes.

So I had to run to not be late

but I'd just walk instead of running.

So one time, JEONGYEON took my backpack

and ran with me!

[JEONGYEON's POV] We'd be walking to school together

and I'd be watching her from behind, and!

She'd be about to get on a bus that wasn't even going to our school.

So I'd grab her backpack.

"What are you doing?"

Like, "NAYEON, seriously?"

I seriously had to drag her along.

[Basically dragged her to school] Yelling, "We're gonna be late!" and we'd just run.

[Pinggyego!]

Man, I'm starving.

All that talking really worked up an appetite.

[Time to finally eat Baehongdong Kal-bim-myeon!] And summer’s got me craving cold spicy noodles.

Me too.

I'm a good cook, but today JEONGYEON...

[The Queen of Preparation descends] The master preparer will take over.

Not cooking. It's preparing.

[Preparation assistant] The key is to rinse them in cold water.

That's right, you have to.

[Kal-bim-myeon tip: A cold water shower] You have to use cold water.

That's what makes the noodles chewy and delicious.

These noodles get so springy.

[Adding the kal-guksu noodles] Those look amazing.

[Getting every last bit]

[Opening up the side dishes she brought!]

And what kind of meat did you bring?

[A true foodie confirmed: Beef brisket and pork belly]

JIHYO, you're amazing.

So you know how delicious this is with some meat on top?

Of course!

But even though they talk a big game they don't eat a lot.

- Our members actually can't eat that much. - Right!

But we have big appetites!

[Small eaters with big appetites] Yeah, we're definitely foodies.

Alright, shall we have a taste?

[Checking if the noodles are cooked] Are they done?

[The Queen of Preparation's judgment] I think so, don't you?

No, no, I think they need a little more time.

Just a bit.

They're done!

[The Queen of Preparation was right] They are? I'll turn it off.

You have to go drain the water over there.

Staff) We'll do it.

[The pantry is small, so we'll do it for you] Oh, thank you.

We have an ice workshop, you know.

Since this is a sponsored segment

[Giving it a special ice shower] this will go through our highly skilled process

in the ice workshop.

How do you squeeze this thing out? Is there a trick to it?

[A sauce-squeezing master appears?] I'll show you.

There's a trick?

Chopsticks?

[Correct] Oh! That's it!

Oh, JIHYO knows the trick.

If you try to squeeze it with your hands you get it all over them.

Yeah, it gets on your hands every time.

With chopsticks?

[The Queen of Preparation demonstrates] Like this.

Yes, that's it.

- Oh, so this is what JIHYO brought? - Yep!

Wow, this kind of stuff.

When you add toppings like this

it really takes the flavor to the next level.

You're hungry, right?

Totally! My stomach won't stop growling.

Oh, this is so rewarding.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, constantly.

[A quick sibling chat while waiting for noodles] JIHYO, what's your sibling situation?

I have two younger sisters.

The age gap with the youngest is 12 years.

[Three sisters, each 6 years apart] That's a big gap.

I'm six years older than the middle one, too.

I bet you give them a lot of allowance.

I definitely take care of them.

- They must love that. - We're really close!

What about you, NAYEON?

I have one younger sister.

What's the age gap?

[A younger sister, three years apart] Three years.

How's your relationship?

Mine is...

super close...

I mean, who wouldn't want a sister like me?

[Full of self-love]

I see...

I wish I were my own sister.

- For real? - Oh, really?

Yeah!

I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes I wish I was married to me.

[Full of self-love 2.0] It's true.

It's so true!

[Disbelief]

I feel the same way!

I wish I had a dad like me, a husband like me.

Why?

I think I'm a really decent guy.

I even say it to my wife.

"Wow, I want to live like you."

He's an amazing person.

I don't nag, I'm considerate.

Woohoo!

[The cold-showered kal-guksu noodles] Thank you.

Wait, did you switch these?

Ours were cooked better...

[Did you divide them evenly?] Three and three, right?

[Immediately adding the sweet, spicy bibim sauce] Can't have them getting switched.

Nice work, JIHYO!

Oh, careful! Careful!

[Help from the sauce-squeezing master] Do this, and now...

You made me mess it up.

Oh, my bad...

[Using Seok Jin's tip] She's gotten a lot more comfortable.

Sorry, I really wanted to do a good job.

[Tastes the bibim sauce from the chopsticks]

Mmm.

[Meanwhile, the Queen of Prep expertly mixes] That looks so good.

The smell is insane.

- Oh my, that looks amazing. - Wow, that smell.

[Serving everyone fairly] JIHYO first.

Thank you.

Honestly, we should have made four or five servings per table.

I know, right?

Do you guys not eat much?

[Shakes head no]

[Seoksam's signature bluntness] What is he doing over there?

I'm just asking.

And one of these for each.

[Kimchi-flavored fried topping]

[Already looks delicious] The presentation is excellent, just excellent.

You know what Baehongdong stands for, right?

Pear, red chili pepper and dongchimi radish water.

That's why it's Bae-hong-dong.

Having dongchimi would be amazing.

They say they even grind kimchi into it! That's what gives it the flavor!

[A can't-miss combo] It's got that perfect savory tang.

This looks so good.

Let's dig in!

First, you gotta try a bite on its own.

[First bite without toppings] No meat for the first bite.

- Mmm. - Wow, that looks so good.

[An instant exclamation of delight]

[The den is filled with happy eating sounds] It's so tangy.

The thick, wide noodles and this...

These noodles are incredible and every ingredient pairs perfectly.

This is so delicious, isn't it?

And they're so soft, too!

- You must be happy. - Why?

Because you're the model for it.

- You get to eat this all the time. - It's great.

This time, with a topping!

[Beef brisket] So good.

Let me try it with a topping.

[A bite with beef brisket]

This isn't pork belly, is it?

Beef brisket.

Why is this so good?

Wow, this is really delicious.

JEONGYEON.

Look at her go.

It's seriously delicious.

The perfect taste of summer!

Wow, adding this on top really...

It's even better.

Should I try it with pork belly?

[This time, with pork belly] Pork belly.

Mmm.

Wow, delicious.

- The pork belly is good, too. - Right?

[A perfect match with pork belly, too]

Wow, this is really delicious.

Oh man, I'm all done...

Wow, JIHYO, you're really digging in.

It's so good.

She and JEONGYEON are almost finished.

Delicious.

I sense that you'd like some more...

Was it that obvious?

Should we make some more?

No, it's okay.

[Dropped some beef brisket]

Are you okay?

Is spilling stuff your thing?

- Our team is pretty bad about that. - Oh, really?

Seems like you and SANA have gotten pretty close.

I guess? At least she's not turning her back to me anymore.

One, two, three!

You two really click now.

Honestly, the second I saw you

I remembered when I was on Running Man and I was on your team.

And I got seriously betrayed by you.

[The memory of betrayal was the first to surface] That's the first memory that came to mind.

You won't do it again, right?

Of course not!

Oh, so that's why SANA...

[Now it all makes sense]

So I must have turned my back subconsciously.

I've felt bad about that day ever since it happened.

I had no way to apologize.

What betrayal?

[During a Running Man name tag ripping race] I don't exactly remember...

[While attacking another team together] I don't remember either, but...

[he ripped off his own teammate SANA's name tag] I remember her being genuinely upset.

[and eliminated her *For the full story, see Running Man ep. 506]

I know! I trusted you as my leader and followed you

and then you just betrayed me.

I thought, "Huh? I just got had."

Because the other teams' leaders were taking such good care of them.

[The feeling of being wronged returns] And suddenly I got betrayed.

I'm so glad I could apologize like this today.

[An apology, about 5 years in the making] I've always been sorry.

You can just think of it as an occupational hazard for him.

[Occupational hazard: Betrayal] You mean him betraying?

I do it without even thinking.

If you go on Running Man you have to watch out for guys like Haha.

What? He took great care of me.

Haha did?

Our team was the absolute worst, I'm telling you.

[Setting the record straight]

Now that I think about it I think you ripped my name tag off, too.

[15 years of karma built up from his occupational hazard]

[Finishing the Kal-bim-myeon in the meantime] He was like, "No, I'm telling you to rip it."

"I'm giving you my back why aren't you ripping it?"

Oh my!

[Clean plate]

The Baehongdong Kal-bim-myeon was absolutely delicious.

Baehongdong Kal-bim-myeon, thank you!

- Thank you. - Delicious.

I'm definitely going to buy this myself.

[Pinggyego!]

Alright, today with TWICE...

[Requesting a closing statement] You have to say a few words.

This is your specialty, right?

[This one's for JIHYO!]

Yes, everyone, TWICE is back with our fourth full-length album.

And besides the album, we have our concert

and we'll be seeing you all through various other activities

so please give TWICE lots and lots of love!

Everyone, please take care of your health

and don't catch a cold.

[A very professional closing statement] So professional. Of course.

I felt a little pressure.

Since we talked so much about it.

Amazing.

JEONGYEON, too!

Huh?

Why do you always startle her like that?

JEONGYEON, you should say something, too.

Uh... as a Gyewon of Pinggyego...

That's right

I really wanted to come on the show.

So for the past few days

I kept thinking, "What should I talk about..."

- She was doing it earlier, too. - Oh, really?

I kept thinking about it.

So did you get to say everything you prepared?

Uh, yes! I did.

[Mission Complete] That's a relief.

We don't even know what questions we're going to ask.

- So it's a good thing they lined up. - Yeah.

I had a lot of fun, and if you invite us again...

Absolutely!

We saw many different sides of JEONGYEON today.

She's a great talker as long as you give her time to prepare.

Now I get it!

JEONGYEON needs time to prepare.

So you have to start over here with SANA!

Not knowing that

[Her seat makes her the first to be asked] I always just started with JEONGYEON.

[NAYEON's turn] NAYEON, too.

It's been a while since our last comeback

so filming a YouTube show with the members like this was really fun

and I was so happy that it was Pinggyego.

You made us feel so comfortable and the food was so good.

- It was great. Please invite us again. - We'd love to.

And SANA, please.

Right? I knew it was coming.

Even though it was so early

you both did such a great job of keeping the mood up

so thanks to you, I had a really fun time filming so thank you so much.

Please watch Pinggyego a lot.

And please watch TWICE a lot, too.

[Certified smooth-talker Kim SANA] She really is Kim SANA.

She talks as fast as a native Korean who's a really fast talker.

And today...

Mr. Judge, thank you for joining us today.

Really enjoyed your hosting today.

And the place they're practicing is Pocheon.

Not Pyeongtaek.

"THIS IS FOR YOU."

It's "THIS IS FOR."

Did you just yell at me?

No, I'm sorry...

- "FOR"! - "THIS IS FOR!"

And we have a little something for you.

[A gift for your first visit] Nice.

- It's wine. - Really? Why?

Oh, thank you.

Staff) For your 10th anniversary, we got you a vintage champagne from your debut year.

[A vintage champagne from their 2015 debut year] What kind of champagne is this?

How can we possibly drink this?

- We can't drink it. - Then don't drink it.

- Oh, okay... - You shouldn't drink it.

Isn't this pretty expensive?

A vintage from their debut year must be pretty pricey.

This is so thoughtful. Thank you.

It's even in our official member colors.

[Flower, name tag / Member official colors] They must have known.

[A wave of emotion] Thank you.

It's a small gift from us, our Gyewon.

[Moved] Look at JEONGYEON.

This is insane. I can't even!

I've always wanted something like this.

A bottle from a meaningful year.

Me too, me too!

They have great taste in gifts.

I think Seok Jin wants one, too.

A bottle from my debut year would be insanely expensive.

[Debuted in 1991 / Debuted in 1992] [Very, very old vintage]

My year would be so expensive.

It's hard to find.

Our dear Gyewon! We'll say goodbye for today.

[See you again next week!] Goodbye, everyone!

- Thank you. - Okay, great work.

- Jae Seok) What's this? - Staff) It's a Pinggyego T-shirt.

SANA) Cute, so cute.

- NAYEON) "I'll just do whatever I want." - JIHYO) Whoa!

- NAYEON) I'm gonna practice in this. - JEONGYEON) Same here!

TWICE) Thank you!

- Jae Seok) You must be tired, but practice well. - Seok Jin) Yeah, take care!

Thank you.

Bye, NAYEON.

Go on, take care now!

Thank you for today.

Thank you for everything today.

Bye.
