Chapter 197:
Chapter 197
Do you all have girlfriends?
The mbers of Awy ca to the studio for an interview on the Caden Hurt Show.
We have the script, but its just a rough outline. The questions might change depending on the progress. Just think of so answers in advance.
Okay.
The mbers each received a paper from Kim Myung-jin.
The interview was conducted remotely, so they were able to see the script beforehand, but the script was all in English.
Uh what does it say?
Girlfriend? Why is girlfriend here?
Dont read it for nothing, we have soone who can translate for us.
Choi Ian! Help!
The mbers looked around for Ian. Ian was drinking water from a distance, but he hurried over to them when he heard their call. He took the script that was handed to him.
What is it?
Translate this for us.
You guys can read so of it, right?
The Awy self-study group was intermittent, but it was still going on. So mbers, like Lee Ju-hyuk, had improved their English skills a lot through collaboration with Hailey Poles, but they felt a bit nervous about doing a live interview with a foreign dia.
What if we translate it weirdly?
What would you have done without ?
Jo Tae-woongs eyes sparkled. It was an expression he often showed when he was joking.
What do you an, what would we have done? We would have gone on with our lives.
Wow, that was really
Touching, right?
I was so touched that I almost hit you.
Stop making that cheesy sound. Ian glared at him, and Jo Tae-woong crossed his arms and tapped his shoulder.
Ian skimd through the script. There were many sentences that the mbers could easily interpret if they read them carefully.
First of all, think of so introductions
Yeah! Hello!
Not now.
The mbers shouted to ease their tension. Ian, who was translating the questions for them, looked at one part and made a subtle expression.
What? Why are you like that?
This part is asking if you have girlfriends, or if you ever dated any of the Awy mbers. Ill cut this out.
It was a sensitive question that ca from cultural differences. The mbers widened their eyes and looked at each other.
Wow, isnt that a taboo word for us?
They all nodded slightly at Park Jin-hyuks words.
Of course, nothing like that ever happened, but it was a question that would make the dostic fans nervous.
I guess its because its Arica, they always ask about girlfriends.
Ive seen this kind of talk in other seniors interviews too. Why do they do that? Are they being nosy there too?
The mbers eyes turned to Ian. Ian scratched his cheek as he felt their sudden attention and answered.
What do you think they think of a popular celebrity like us, who has a career and is a healthy male, who doesnt date or have a girlfriend?
What do they think?
Ian suddenly felt like playing a prank on them. So he decided to exaggerate a bit.
Should I say they think were losers?
!
The mbers looked at each other silently.
Huh
They tried to hold back their laughter, but they eventually burst out. There was only a sound of bitter laughter.
Wow, losers.
What are you saying, you loser.
Kim Hyun echoed Park Jin-hyuks words.
***
Guys, its ti, lets sit down.
At Kim Myung-jins words, the Awy mbers sat down on the chairs set up in front of the cara. Ian was at the edge of the front row, a position for him to interpret for the mbers.
Wow, Im really nervous.
Ian felt a mix of nervousness and excitent, as if he was on stage for the first ti at his debut. He had contacted his parents briefly during the script reading ti and heard that the whole family was in front of the TV.
Oh, were on.
Thats our tour video.
There was a live broadcast of the show they were going to appear on next to the cara.
Not only the overseas fans, but also the fans in Korea were running on the live chat.
-Theyre on!
-Where can I watch it? Give
the MyTube link
Hyun was nervous.
(These days, the atmosphere around these people is not good. We have invited so great artists from Korea. They are AWY!)
Oh! We are connected!
Seodams voice was broadcasted on the air and he was startled to close his mouth. The youngest mber was staring at the cara with wide eyes, and the other mbers laughed.
(What did you just say?)
*Caden, I was so happy to hear your voice that I shouted.
(Oh, I think Im already in love with you guys.)
Ians reply made Caden smile on the screen. As Joo-hyuk gave the signal of two, three, the mbers shouted loudly.
Who we are? AWY!
AWY shouted their new slogan. The audience in the Arican studio cheered and their voices reached AWY.
(Wait, Im curious about sothing. Every ti I et Korean singers, I wonder why they do that strange greeting.)
What are you talking about?
Hes asking why we do our slogan.
Tae-woong raised his hand. Then, his face appeared on both sides of the screen.
*This is Korean style.
(Oh, wow. I see.)
-This is Korean style lol
-Look at Cadens expression lol
(Okay. I dont know the na of that Korean style guy yet, can you introduce yourselves?)
*Hello, Im Ian of AWY.
Starting with Ian, the mbers gave brief introductions. When the cheers of the audience in the Arican studio subsided, Caden began the interview in earnest.
(AWY, your album that you released in Korea)
Caden squinted his eyes and tried to read the script on the cue card, but Ian interrupted him.
*Yes.
(Yes, thats right. Lets just call it by the title song Blue hour. Did you hear the cheers here in the studio? You guys are very popular here too.)
-Did anyone hear Ian speaking French?
-His pronunciation is perfect
-Ian is good at English and French Well, he should be good at English anyway
(How did you co up with the werewolf concept for Blue hour? It was so trending worldwide that)
*We always challenge ourselves with new concepts.
Joo-hyuk, who understood so of the words, answered in broken English.
*Yes, thats right. We think ahead of what the fans would like when we plan the album. But, did we really trend worldwide?
(Didnt you know?)
Ian supplented Joo-hyuks answer and showed a surprised expression when he heard the news.
We got a great response worldwide for this album. I guess the werewolf concept worked.
He didnt forget to translate for the other mbers.
Wow!
Ian felt his mouth dry and drank so water while the mbers cheered loudly.
*We were so busy that we didnt know until now.
(Yes, I think so.)
Caden looked at the audience with a sad expression. There was laughter from the audience.
(Its interesting that you participate in the planning stage of the album. I want to hear more about it.)
*First, we gather as seven and brainstorm.
(Like, What should we do for this album?)
*Yes, what props we want to use. Or how we want to appear. Even small things like that. Then we discuss the ideas with the company.
Caden listened to Ians words with interest. He had interviewed many talented artists from Korea, but he had a stereotype that Korean idols were manufactured rather than singer-songwriters.
*Then we start making songs based on the decided concept.
(Who ca up with the werewolf concept this ti? And why Blue hour? Is there a special reason?)
Ian quickly translated Cadens words. Tae-woong scratched his cheek in embarrassnt.
Uh what should I say.
Just speak in Korean. Ill translate for you.
-Ian, youre so cool
-Tae-woong, your long hair suits you so well
When I went to my grandmothers house, there were tis when I just looked at the sky all day And when the sun set, the sky turned blue and it felt strange. The sound of the roe deer that I heard then
Roe deer?
You dont know what a roe deer is? It has a distinctive cry Actually, I couldnt think of anything else but the roe deer during the eting. I was like, how do I say this? And
Ian stuttered in confusion. He had suggested a pretty cool idea of a werewolf during the planning eting. But he didnt expect that the roe deer had influenced the concept.
So we almost beca roe deer people instead of werewolves?
Roe deer people legend.
The other mbers also laughed as they heard the detailed reason behind the werewolf concept for the first ti. Tae-woong shrugged his shoulders with a shaless expression.
-He wrapped it up like that?
-Translating is a tough job
-Why does Kaden like it so much
Caden looked dreamy as he liked Ians answer.
(*So, do all the mbers participate in composing?)
Ian briefly relayed Cadens words, and Joo-Hyuk, Jin-Hyuk, and Ju-Young raised their hands.
(*We are mainly doing it.)
(*Oh, what about writing lyrics?)
Ian continued.
(*For writing lyrics, all the mbers participate. We each write our own lyrics and our producer, Joo-Hyuk, picks the ones that match the mood of the song and blends them into the song.)
(*Producing too! You guys are so talented. Well, theres one question that youre all curious about.)
Caden said, spreading his arms toward the audience. The audience cheered and clapped.
He had a mischievous look on his face, as if he was about to ask that question. Ian could easily guess what the next question would be.
(*Do you guys have girlfriends? Or soone youre casually dating?)
