180913 LOONA on NNN

Just because others are crossing the street...
Doesn't mean that you should follow blindly.
That's because they might be jaywalking.
That goes for everything in life,
Follow your own light, follow your own direction.
NCT's Night Night

That was Alvin Ordonez - "How Much You Mean to Me"
Hello, this is NCT Jaehyun and Johnny. NCT Night Night -
"Don't follow people blindly - you must find your own direction and light"
We got this message from a fan today.
That's a very important message.
I think it's best to go at your own pace.
Yeah, I think everyone needs to have their own standards.
Fan says: "That message was uplifting.
I always felt rushed because I felt like I was falling behind everyone else.
Being slow is okay too, isn't it? From now on, I'll have to find my own pace."
Yes, finding my own pace is important.

Fan says: "While going my own pace on the highway,
I was watching everyone go faster than me.
So sometimes, I feel bad.
I'll fight on with today's opening, thank you."

Wow, that comparison was very good.

Ahh, yeah. Like, I want to go my own speed, but everyone else around me...
You know, along the national highway, there's so many things to see...

Fan: "Today I went to Deoksugung Palace at night with my parents.
I've been in the daytime, but listening to the tour at night was fun too.
Later, I want to see Gyeongbokgung."

Ah, Gyeongbokgung is very good at night.
It's different, the lights make it different.

Fan: "your clothes really feel like autumn today.
Watching NNN with the fall breeze coming in
through the open window, I'm content.""

Our fashion does feel like autumn.
Today I'm kind of like a butcher...
You're a cool butcher, huh
Yes...

Fan: "I'm studying at a cafe now. There's lots of others doing the same.
Watching everyone hard at work, it makes me self-reflect and work harder too.
Could you tell me to study hard today too?"

Yeah, if you're studying by yourself and people next to you are studying,
I think you'd get energized by that.
Right.
To everyone studying in cafes, and everyone studying, hwaiting.
Today, we've got some girls radiating pure charm - LOONA -
on "Ask anything you want".
(sponsors)
Stay tuned~

LOONA, they're so unique.
They showed one member a month, and it took them a year to debut together.
What did they think when they first heard about this concept?
Are you curious? I'll ask for you.
Idol invitation, "Ask Anything you Want!"

Idol invitation, "Ask Anything you Want!"
with LOONA Vivi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Yves, and Chuu!

We'll introduce ourselves, 2... 3..
Hello, we are LOONA!

Please say hi, one by one.

As soon as they got in today, they were smiling like they had something to say.
That got me curious...

They're not talking, but they're communicating with each other by eye contact!
We're looking forward to today's show.
I think everyone is.

Fan: Finally. LOONA on NNN! I ran over so fast to catch this live.
Thank you!

Fan: Seeing LOONA makes my life better and brighter.
Getting brighter in here too.

Fan: Even late at night, LOONA on NNN makes my kidney pound too.
This is a combo as sweet as dumplings, I'm so happy!

Are these... lyrics?
Yes...
"Sweet like gimbap and dumplings!~"
Ah they were lyrics..
I thought the fan was just extremely poetic.
What is it to be sweet like dumplings??
Yves: Aren't dumplings sweet?
JJ: ... Dumplings? Which dumplings are sweet?
Yves: They are to me...
Well, if they're sweet to you, that's a good enough reason.

What were your first impressions on the lyrics?
Uh, uhh... Seriously... Uh...
JJ: Alright, it was like that, I see.
Yeah...

"Don't fall asleep Lip!" says: Our Lip sleeps at 10,
but can't sleep on NNN right now! Let us know how you feel!"
How I feel... I can't sleep on NNN, of course.

Normally you go to bed at 10?
Yeah, I sleep early, so I sleep at 10.
When you get up then?
Like, 6? 7?
Wow... Normally?!
Yes, normally.
What do you do after?
I just... Clean, and roam around, not much
The other members would be asleep right?
Right.
So just you alone...
Yeah, just sitting by myself, or...
It must be a very free time...
Yeah, I'm very free-willed.
Won't you get tired while promoting then? How's that?
When you can't sleep...
Even when I can't sleep, I tend to just get awake naturally in the moment.
Even if I'm tired, I just power through.
You're very diligent then... 6AM...

That was our first question.
From "sweet&sour": "You released a member a month
starting with Heejin in October 2016, right?
The first members must've waited for so long!
What were your first impressions on this concept?"

Let's hear from Vivi, an early member.
Could you repeat the question in a little more detail?
Ah, uh.. Oh you're not korean?
Yes, I'm from Hong Kong.
Okay. So you guys showed members one by one, how'd you feel about that?
When I first heard it, I thought,
"I hadn't heard of this before, would it be viable?"
and as the 5th member watching others come in one by one,
my expectations started building up, it was fascinating to me too.

Releasing a member per month makes you get more excited.
You're very good at korean!
Thank you
Chuu: I think she's better at grammar than us now...
Yeah, the foreign members tend to be better at grammar, huh
Now, are there any members who were shown near the end?
Yeah, Yves, Chuu
What'd you do between your solo and now?
We were in near the last, then we had the yyxy subunit afterwards,
then right after that started prep for the combined debut.
Ah, you were very busy
That's a fun concept,
having one person coming out per year builds excitement...
You mean one per month
Ah, yeah! Since didn't take 12 years...
That would've been bad!

We'll be back after a song to talk more. LOONA - Hi High

That was LOONA's Hi High.

Fan: That song is so cute, I need to set it as my morning alarm!
Yeah, it must be refreshing to get up to.
Yeah, we set it to our alarms too, we get up instantly.
We turn it off instantly too.
Kim Lip would be awake already!
Yeah, I turn it off for them.

Let's have a few more questions.
OK!
Fan: The only thing ensuring my future is Kim Lip's beauty...
I'm addicted to Hi High, could you introduce a highlight choreo
that the fans can easily follow?
Yes, of course.
We have two, the uwa-uwa dance. The 12 of us get in 3 rows and go uwa-uwa
Okay, so you split up your hands like this
It's simple!
Thank you!

The other part is Hi High, so act like you're revving an engine, 1, 2..
And raise your other hand.
Both look very easy to follow!
Try following it!

Very easy! Anyone can do it after one look.

Jinsoul: We'll ask you next time too.
Next time too, okay.

This nickname's great, could you read this yourself?
From "Busan's best output = Ha Sooyoung":
I heard the members almost had different stage names,
are there any stories related to that? How did you pick stage names?
Who was most excited after first hearing their stage name?"
You guys all go by stage names?
Everyone but Jinsoul, yeah.
You must've heard some other name ideas then, right?
Anyone think: "I like this name so much!"
No one...
LOONA: "No, we all like our names but..."
But Chuu?
:)
Okay... Got it.
You guys are very honest.
Who made the names?
The company.
They're honest!
Yves, did you have any other names?
"Yves" was pretty much set for me from the start.
From the person after me, that's when things got worse...
Chuu: I'm the next member.
I was almost called "Adam"...
I didn't know about it, so I thought,
maybe it was from "adorable" ("adam" in korean)...
Ahh, I like Chuu!
Adam and Yves...
I'm thankful for Chuu!
Chuu fits you well.
Thank you!
From "Jingolas": if you could change color and animal, what would you change to?
So you have a representative color and animal?
Yes.
Could you tell us?
Yves: A dove, and burgundy.
Oh, burgundy. A dove... But burgundy.
Yeah, for elegance
I was surprised by the color being so specific!
I wasn't expecting burgundy at all.
Jinsoul's animal is a bit specfic, blue betta...
Blue bet.. Betta?
It's a blue fish, and my color is blue too.
You seem to like it a lot, more than her
I've never even heard of that before!
It's very bright and pretty.
Oh isn't this fish really good at fighting?
Yeah, you have to keep it alone, it's very scary!
- Small but strong. - I knew that.
Your color...
Blue, to fit with blue betta.
I had to make sure, I mean, we had dove-burgundy...
Kim Lip: my color is red, and as for the animal, owl.
Owl! Red owl!
Chuu?
Chuu's animal is the penguin, and the color is.. Coral!
What color is coral?
It's not black right?
Yves: It's kind of like peach...
Chuu: Like the bricks there...
Vivi: My animal is the deer. My color is a soft pink.
How'd you pick these?
They said they picked from our vibe and image...
Blue betta...
I like it. If you watch my solo MV, you'll...
Oh it fits your solo MVs?
Oh, then you'll approve of it too.
That's fun, having animals and colors.
Let's come back after another song! LOONA's favOriTe.
NCT's Night Night, part 2!
The members already voted themselves on some questions we gave.
Targeted Talk with LOONA

First question: Post-debut, the least nervous member on broadcasts!
Tied for first, Jinsoul and Kim Lip!
We feel that too, even now.
That's right!
Why's Kim Lip laughing?
Chuu: Because she's nervous
Jinsoul: She's blushing!
Kim Lip: No no no, I'm not, I don't get nervous.

Do you not get nervous in general?
Jinsoul: We do actually...
Yves: Is it because they don't express it?
Lip: I don't, really.
Jinsoul: if you're proud, wouldn't you not get... nervous?
Jinsoul picked herself!
Chuu voted for Jinsoul too
I asked her earlier, "Jinsoul don't you get nervous?"
she said no so I just wrote it...
Very simple, okay
Kim Lip voted for herself, and Vivi for Lip too
She teases and talks a lot, so she doesn't seem to get nervous.
You don't nervous, right?
Yes.
Then what about the opposite? Most nervous?
We think Chuu.
Me? No, not me.
... Looks like there's no nervous members here, from what I see!
Next question
"If I were a LOONA fan, my favorite member would be..."
With 3 votes... Yves! Congrats!
This is very interesting, votes from Chuu, Jinsoul, and Yves
Let's hear from Jinsoul and Chuu why, first.
First, her humor's fun,
and despite any first impressions you might have, she's very fun.
What was your first impression?
It was like burgundy, or a dove...
Once you get to know her though, her sense of humor's amazing...
What kind of humor is it?
Her wit with words
She's was born with it.
Jinsoul picked Yves too...
Yves reminded me of a bank teller at first, very collected and neat
But I picked her for her clever way with words
Ah, so countering the first impression was the charm?
Yes
Why did you pick yourself, Yves?
I requested anonymity...
Sorry there's no anonymity here!
I just...
She wrote "EVERYTHING" !!
Of "everything", if you could pick just one? The one to stan for?
I look pretty quiet, but on stage I give a powerful image.
Show us
Now?
Ah - a fan request, acrostic poem from Yves, the expert herself!
En-na-na?
EN: I'm very happy to be on "N"CT's Night Night.
NA: Could I come out "la"ter?
NA: (ahh it's so quiet!) Could "I"... DJ with you guys?
Just from this, I wonder what they're like normally.
I'll support you.
(LOONA: LOL the insincere reactions...)
Sorry, I tried to save the joke...

Question: The member who insists on pursuing her fashion.
Two votes each, Vivi and Yves
Who picked Vivi?
Chuu first!
When Vivi first came in she dressed cute and simple.
She consistently dresses like that, so I picked her!
I thought this before, your answers are very simple.
Because it's night-time...
Vivi's got her own style, so I picked her.
Even simpler!
Simple is best, I guess.
Vivi, do you have an interest in fashion?
I do, but I think there are more interested members
Is there any philosophy to your fashion? A style you like?
Mmm, I like trying a lot of things.
A variety of styles.
What about Vivi and Jinsoul, who picked Yves?
You know, she looks at first like a [...]
Cabbage???
I think she meant dove.
"Dove".
But after practicing together, I saw her dressing hip and cool.
Yeah, she dresses hip, and she loves crop tees. She insists on her fashion.

Is there any one item you care about the most?
I do like crop tees...
The kids call it baby clothing.
Yves picked Jinsoul, the reason is funny. What is it?
We all went shopping together once
She bought shorts with a lemon drawn on it
That's just terrible, isn't it?
Like, it was just bad. And she bought it. I don't know why.
Those were PJs!
Also, a fan gave her a T-shirt with a rabbit on it, that's pretty on its own
But she wore the two together.
So a rabbit on a lemon.
Isn't that just awful?
Jinsoul: Isn't that cute?
Amidst this talk, Kim Lip is the most embarrassed,
while Jinsoul's proud of it...
Kim Lip: I begged her to not wear that but she insisted.
So I remember being shocked every morning.
Do you have any plans to display this to the public?
Like on the road to music shows?
This fashion isn't acceptable for broadcast, so...
It's shocking, really.
We think the fans are waiting for it now.
It really piques your curiosity.
Let's leave it to their imagination...
Let's listen to a song, LOONA's Heat.

Fan: please post a picture! Just of the lemon pants!
Have you not changed your mind yet?
Those pants are actually couple-pants that I wear with Gowon.
You both wear the same pants...
If given the chance, we'll post the pants as a couple!
The members seem to oppose that, that's a shame.
Next question: The member most different from your first impression
With two votes: Yves and Kim Lip.
Who picked Lip? Why?
I.. Oh, my voice!
Don't cry!
Lip looked chic, but nowadays her aegyo's improved a lot.
What kind of aegyo?
Just everyday stuff
Such as...
Just throughout the day she's like "aaang", and at the shop today,
Loudly going "aaaahh!" and stuff... and "I'm hungry!!"
I guess you were very hungry in the morning.
I'll be more careful.
Aegyo that the owner didn't recognize...
Vivi and Kim Lip picked Yves...
Vivi's reason?
I had a similar reason as before. I thought she'd be quiet.
But after living with her... she's funny
Right, we heard about her way with words.
Thank you.
Next question, who's the "Spending Fairy of the Month"?
The member that likes to spend money...
3 votes for Chuu!
Is that a good thing?
What do you spend money on?
From a while ago, I briefly bought some stickers...
Once I get into something, I keep investing in it...
What kind of stickers?
Stickers for my diary
How many stickers do you have now?
Yves: She has so many.
Lip: She has a lot of useless stickers
Chuu: Useless?? Turn off her mic!
Lip: I told her to stop but she just won't...
So do you just put them in the book? Or...
Chuu: I just keep them safe, and I feel better just looking at them.
But I don't know where they are now.
You lost them?
I kept them safe somewhere, but there got to be a lot of them
so I moved some to somewhere else, but they disappeared...
So I plan to buy them again...
Yves/Lip: You can't
Of all the stickers, what's the most precious to you?
I like the stickers I buy,
but these days I'm collecting stickers with my face on them...
The fans make them?
I take care of those the most.

The last question: the most straightforward member?
With 3 votes, Kim Lip! We even have applause.
So let's hear from someone...
I will...
Wait why am I the only one raising my hand??
Jinsoul, Vivi, and Chuu picked Lip. Lets hear why.
It's not bad to be straightforward, you know,
it's nice to get some words out there, it's needed.

Yes, I picked her because she has an good, honest personality!
What type of straightforward is she? How does it feel?
Like before, when she was disgusted at her lemon PJs...

I'm two years older than her but she still says it's the worst, and awful...
That's refreshing.

So that was the honest "Targeted Talk" with LOONA.
Let's take some more questions from NNN fans.
From "Hearchuu Attack": Are there any memes amongst loona members?
Yeah, whenever the department head of our company sees us,
he chest-bumps twice, points to us, and says "Hey, just enjoy yourselves!!"
So before going on stage, we all do the same.
The fingers are the highlight!
Yeah, pointing is key, with the correct angle.
Chuu: With respect! (points down)
Ah, you maintain respect too
Any trending items?
Can it be food?
You know those Japanese rice cakes...
Mochi!
For that, we got together to get the tool for that...
... What if they're listening?
You guys study mochi in secret...
Yeah, if you eat mochi at dawn it's delicious.
At dawn?
Not early dawn, right
Morning! Morning!
Early morning!
Ah, late dawn?
Even at dawn, they'll understand.
You to maintain your blood sugar levels for the early schedule...
What flavors do you like?
We like bean powder
Honey!
Because you need energy in the morning!
We eat very little!
We have just one each.
It's very good.
You must have a lot of energy in the morning.
I hope you don't get caught and enjoy the mochi.
Fan: Are there nicknames only the members know?
I others use this too, but I call Vivi "Ara" unnie or "Ppi" unnie
Why?
Ara was made by the members as a korean name for day of celebration.
Oh that's a meaningful name.
And Ppi is just ViVi shortened?
Yeah
I call her Vivi-way.
We always do a head count in the car before leaving,
there's always ONE person missing
That's ViVi.
She goes on her own path so often...
That's not bad either.
Let's come back after some ads.

It's already time to end the show!
Fan: It's so cute how you guys say "Yes~!"
They've been answering so well, for the past hour.
It's a shame but it's time to say goodbyes,
Let's hear some final words. Yves?
First, this was a show I really wanted to go on.
So being here and seeing NCT was great.
Only 5 of us were here so it was a shame,
I'd be grateful if you called all 12 of us next time.
Please come back next time as 12!
This was very fun, I hope to come back as 12,
but they need to be over 18, right?
So it'll take 3 or 4 years... I want NNN to last until then!
Oh, thank you.
I really loved being on NNN,
I know there were others who wanted to be on the show
I don't know if they're listening, they were really sad about not making it...
So straightforward, I see
Sorry members! I hope to have more fun as 12 here next time.
I really liked being on a show, I had really wanted to go on here.
I think our members are watching, so I wanna say "I wanna see you!"
Being on a radio is pretty new for me, so it was very fun being on here.
I hope we can come back next time with everyone!
We hope so too.
Fan: How could 1 hour pass by so quickly!
I hope you guys come back with the other members later!
Fan: LOONA's so refreshing and bright and pretty! Always hwaiting!
Fan: Kim Lip, you look super tired, are you OK?
She needs to sleep at 10...
So after you're done, you should go straight to bed.
Thank you and please come back later.
We have just a few questions left, it'd be a shame to skip them. Let's hear a few.
Fan: Who's the member who gets tired the least, and is always happy?
Of the 5 here, it's Chuu
Over all 12, it's our maknae, Yeojin...
She's loud...
And doesn't get tired.
You need that energy on your team, though.
And who's the quietest member? Maybe a little lacking in energy sometimes?
After 10 o clock, Kim Lip.
So 10 o clock is the problem... The time
Then we'll send you off, you need the sleep!
No we should stay until the end!
Then, we'll say goodbye together.
Good night, night night.
We'll play LOONA - Perfect Love.
