Transcripts
Hello
This is I WALK Radio's host, DOYOUNG
and this is JAEHYUN
How have you been?
Recently
You went to Milan, JAEHYUN
Right
Saw DOYOUNG at Milan
Met
We've got to meet
How did you know?
Because I'm DOYOUNG
Anyways, our schedules overlapped
And JUNGWOO was at Milan at the same time
Right
It was cool
And we were all at the same hotel too
Right
I heard
the brands made adjustments
so that we can get together
Really?
Didn't know
I heard they adjusted for us
So wanted to take this time
to give them a shout out
Even the plane back to Korea
Right, we got on the same plane
Right
Did you sleep in the plane?
I
as soon as I got on
I had the in-flight meal
and woke up 30 minutes before the
Eat and sleep
Totally
So I slept well
and as you know, we had a schedule right afterwards
Right
I was less tired for it
I wanted to say that
Great
who do you think suits the best with 'Walk'
among our members?
The member who suits it best?
Yes
The member that suits the best...
everyone suits well in his own way
But you know that 'Walk' teaser video
Trailer video
The one uploaded on the 25th
I saw that video before coming
I see
But you know how JOHNNY
appears first in the video
Did you watch it?
I haven't
Wait...
Can't talk to you anymore
I haven't watched it
I mean like
So in that video JOHNNY's stlye
and the outfits we wore
The matching outfits
JOHNNY's hairstyle
right
felt like it goes well with the concept
So I thought of JOHNNY
What do you think, DOYOUNG?
I
will try to think right now
You can think about it
and tell us tomorrow
Okay...I'll think about it
Okay
Great, next
Then I'll go with JOHNNY too
JOHNNY...
As you mentioned JOHNNY's hairstyle
I feel like JOHNNY goes well with
any style he goes with
Anything he tries
it goes well with him
And this time, it feels even above average
of those
The styling?
Yes, styling and things
He must be happy to hear that
I know, right?
He must feel happy
Yeah
We've finished our recordings, album cover photos,
and music videos so far
Do you have any fun behind the scenes story?
Is it already funny?
Don't know if this will be edited out
But actually
we almost had a different title and lyrics
Think you can say it
Can I say it?
So what it was supposed to be
when we had to choose the title song
For 'Walk'
There were various contestants
'Walk' got the most votes
Our members and our company
first going to title it, Through the Wall
And the song was that
and the lyrics came along
But honestly, lyrics are really everything
Thought the lyrics were so good
Right
so we almost had it differently
But we got united
in saying we should really go with that
What do we call that term
So that's why it's fun
So we got united in our opinions
Fun?
But had different opinions on what's fun
Right
Not like actually laughing
But you laughed in the beginning
Not like laughing
That's not the story I was going for
But we almost had a different title
Right
But we got together, united
and pushed it together
So that's how we got the title 'Walk'
and that title and lyrics came along
We even voted in our group chat
Whether or not we keep it the way it is
And so it became 'Walk'
Anyways
the title of it too and the lyrics
Right, we even had a vote
If you look at the lyrics
While we don't 'Walk' so straight
we won't mind what others think
and we stay cool as ourselves
Yes
Right
What made us really decide was also
because it's catchy
Right
It's very catchy, hope you agree with us
We live in very fast-paced world
Right
- Where short videos and reels dominate - For that dopamin...
- Short and sweet - That's how things go
So it's not easy to get attention
unless it's catchy
So we agreed upon that
For the music video
I wanted mention
we almost don't have any
we filmed mostly in
group scenes, altogether
Right
So that was
one of the highlights of this music video
Then, JAEHYUN, is there something you
particularly worked on for 'Walk'?
The way I walk
The way I walk, on a daily basis
Those short walks
We have a lot of those
And there are many videos prepared
Sure
The various styles of walking
are prepared via videos and shorts
So hope you enjoy them
What about you, DOYOUNG?
- like what aspect - Honestly
It wasn't like I worked on something more in particular
But as it's very hip hop this time
Right
When I first heard it, from the demo
I was like wow
Right
Really...
Voted back then too
It's really hip-hop, right up front
So from the visual team too
They wanted some members with hair bleached
But I was always stringent about my hair color dark
So I thought this won't be easy
But this is almost like the lightest hair color since debut
Really?
Oh you mean, light
Yes, this light
I've done it close to blonde
For 'Limitless'
And I told myself, I'd never do this again
But I gave in
It's never been this light in color
But also, DOYOUNG, you
I'm scared what you're going to say now
No
This is a good one
Okay, let's hear it
DOYOUNG, right before this album
You had 'YOUTH'
Had that youthfulness
and now 'Walk'
And there's even a saying
DOYOUNG's personal color is hip hop
you really nailed the whole thing
No one's ever told me that
So like
Hearing that my personal color is hip hop
You also liked it when I
Really?
- You did - I'm honored
I'm honored, thank you
It was half joking, half serious
But I honestly think that way
Though my music style is not so hip hop
Right
I think my personality is like hip hop
Accepts it right away
I believe that's the real hip hop
Skrrr
Very hip, indeed
Oh, and what's your favorite track song?
Favorite track song?
Favorite track song
Could it overlap?
I'm trying to think what my favorite was
I'll say mine first
Sure
Honestly, the song, 'Meaning of Love'
is my favorite
I felt that coming
Because
Yes
It's too obvious
That I'd call that my favorite
It's quite obvious
So
Right
So I'll say 'Orange Seoul'
as my favorite track song
What made you go for that one?
So this is what I think
I feel like
So these days
I felt this a lot
As I prepared for my album
As I prepared for my solo album
You need that song
where it's different from the rest
but it really has to be there
So I got to appreciate those
when you listen to the album as whole
those kinds of songs are so valuable
That's what I had in mind for this one too
A bit like hidden gem?
What should I call it
Hidden gem in an album
Hidden gem in an album?
Anyways, go ahead
Because
Our 6th full album, 'WALK'
It's a very hip hop album, obviously
And...
Is it?
And the songs are all pretty fast
in terms of tempo
But like for the song 'Suddenly' too
It's a bit like ballad
but still has a fast tempo
There's rap within as well
So you can think of this album quite fast paced, tempo-wise
But within it, songs like 'Orange Seoul'
and 'Meaning of Love' give different color
So when we see the album as a whole
It refreshes the listeners
I felt that
So that's why I like 'Orange Seoul'
The lyrics is cute and has color too
Right, that
I personally
just love 'Walk'
Ay
Because...
but we're talking about track songs
But 'Walk' is part of the album
Right
Track song
You're not wrong
Because
other songs too
I listened to all the songs
but from the start, 'Walk' was just
it's something
We had a few members
Right
who liked 'Walk' from the start
Like super loved it
I was one of those
So it's my favorite
When we had the meeting for the demo
We were a bit split
It was a bit polarizing, not like hate
I was one of those like could we maybe have another song
And there were 3 members who loved it so much
Right
In my opinion, the guys who loved it
- It has like half and half - So those who liked it
Some of us just 'liked' it
I think about 1 or 2 just liked it
Who liked it...
And 3 of us were like, don't hate it, but wasn't sure
Right
But there were three who just straight-out loved it
But for me
I was like, I should trust you guys
If you guys love it that much
That means
there's something really special about it
Because it's not easy to like love it
for music
Right
Anyways
And recently
Yes
I had a phone call
with TAEYONG
Right
I got to call TAEYONG
As he got assigned his training center at military
He could use the phone for a bit
So he called me
Never had such a long phone call with him
for 30 minutes straight
I just went like 'Yes'
He had so much to say
He was like that to me too
Had the longest phone call with him...
Right?
I think so
And TAEYONG will probably see this video
So JAEHYUN
if you were to make a driving playlist
which songs do you want to recommend?
I hate to say this...
But I don't really like sharing
my playlist
Really?
Yes
Are you being serious?
But...
Is this real?
But there's one called 'Beginning' by DOYOUNG
So annoying
This is so annoying
It's called 'Beginning'
Listening to it, with the windows wide open
Are you joking or are you being serious
Aren't we having an interview, right now?
Right
I'm being honest
That's really nice of you, if you meant it
Of course
When we had the playlist on just now
the songs had a similar vibe to it
Right
So, yeah
What about you, DOYOUNG?
For me
Don't say it
Sorry?
That's really no fun
I mean for me
I don't tend to listen to songs when I drive
Really? No music on while driving?
But I just tend to not listen to music normally
Just
I try not to listen to music when I get home
Giving a break to your ears?
Yes, it's sort of like that
But if I were to make a driving playlist
I'd say JAEHYUN's
Wait, that's no fun
'Horizon'
So predictable
It goes well with the weather these days
The weather's nice
Saw that coming
Was it?
Anyways
Thought it's a good song for the playlist
Now, we're moving on
It's a segment just for us
It's the song-image matching time
Right
We match images to the songs in 'WALK'
And explain, what's a good situation to listen to this
When NCTzen watch this
or listen to it
- things they can look out for - Sounds good
Let's talk about it, so they can follow
So a good situation to listen to each song
Okay
Then where and when you can listen to each
Talk about props or even food
that go well with the song
Okay
'Intro
Wall to Wall'
Wall to Wall
Let's just introduce this one
This
I like this song
Wow
A bit like
it's actually literally like an intro
Yes, it's an intro song
Yes
It has a film soundtrack vibe to it too
It feels like those
music at the intro of a film
Like heroes appearing in the beginning
I really like this song
Next, 'Walk'
Yes
Should we match 'Walk' to an image?
I
Yes
but this is not easy
With whom?
Who, what, when, where, and how
With friends
With friends
When?
When you want to hang out
Where?
Since it's a bit odd
to listen to hip hop music at home
I mean you can listen to it
Why can't you listen to hip hop at home?
To all the hip-hop fans out there
I know, because I'm a true hip-hop person
when you want to hang out with friends
Like a pub where hip hop music's on
What?
'Walk'
How?
Well?
'Walk'
Listen to 'Walk', in a chill vibe
A canned beer, with chill vibes
It'd be nice to listen to
Canned beer
We're trying to depict an imagery
Next song, 'No Clue'
Let's talk about 'No Clue'
'No Clue' was a runner-up to be the title
Right
So this, you can listen to it
Imagine it's at the end of your day
you're taking a shower
And while taking a shower
it's steaming hot
and you're by yourself
putting on shampoo
It's a good song to listen to then
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious
I feel like
You know those people
wearing Airp*ds, immersed in the music
there are those You*ubers
who copy that imagery
Like making facial expressions, so into it
That's the vibe I get from this music
What's that?
Like...
That
That
As if I became NCT 127 myself
and be like...
become hip myself, with headphones on
Anyways, next
'Orange Seoul'
'Orange Seoul'
At the Han River
around sunset
like at a picnic
Ah, picnics are hard to explain
With friends
With friends
enjoying the time
at sunset
Those are all pretty similar
Around sunset time by the Han River
having a picnic
Enjoying the moment
With Bluetooth speaker on,
so have music on via Bluetooth speaker
and listen to it while eating
With food and beer
Right
And it even says it in the lyrics
That sounds nice
Next
'Pricey'
This one is quite clear
Oh!
Right, 'Pricey' is my favorite track song
Right
It's my favorite
I have a behind the scenes story for this
Since before
Single song to perform in the US
We've thought of releasing this to perform in the US
We've heard it years ago
And we even recorded for it then
It's that kind of a song
It's finally out in the world
I love it, it's my favorite track song
This song
is good to listen to at like outlets or shopping malls
Like that
At a clothes shop
Yes, something like that
A song that can be turned on
at places like those
Right
And you can easily listen to this any time of the day
Day or night
Store opening hours?
Since you'll be in doors
like listen to it while you're shopping
Shopping music
It's that kind of a song
On one hand, you'd have clothes
with tags on
Right
It's my favorite track song
'Time Capsule'
For this, with friends
Guess you have a lot of friends
The other friend
Another friend
Wait, I've thought of a good one
With your elementary school friends
Elementary school friends
With them
Elementary school friends
Yes
Yes
Having a reunion
In front of your elementary school
Go back to your elementary school
So go back to your elementary school
put that 'Time Capsule'
and listen to it together
Do you even have a 'Time Capsule'?
You've got to make one
Oh
Like our own precious little box
Let's cherish this moment forever
With the good old friends
This is a good song too
This is a good one
This song
It feels warm
'Can't Help Myself', maybe because of the title
the black and white movie vibes
The genre isn't like it but I get that vibe
The title in Korean is 'at the movie theater'
Feels like...
Then got to listen to it via earphones?
No, everyone at the same time
Okay
Everyone at the theaters
At the end credits
Then we should borrow the theater
Yes, when the end credits appear
That vibe you get from it
Everyone
be like, how was the movie?
Then we should actually insert it in film
It would be a great movie soundtrack
Ask like, what scenes were memorable?
You know when you talk about those
Talk to each other
It's a good song in those situations
With everyone in the audience?
Yes, we all become one
Right
And you get to sing along too
Yes
Now, 'Rain Drop'
This was also a contender for the title
For me
with friends
Yes
on a rainy day
Let's go by the song title
In the rain, at a bus stop
Bus stop
At the bus stop, waiting for the bus
With no umbrellas, you just hear the rain
It's a good song to listen to then
You have earphones on
but noise cancelling's off
so you listen to rain
and listen to the music together
That's crazy, that mood, that vibe
'Gas'
This is TAEYONG's favorite song
Right
'Gas'
'Gas'
It's dark, but there's the neon light
It's hard to explain
For 'Gas'
I'd listen to it by myself at home
like a good workout song
A good song to listen to while exercising?
Yes, that
I never do this
Just letting you know, I never do this
Never
but you know, where you listen to music
and want to immerse in yourself
When you want to
immerse yourself in your own world
But I don't do that
In case you're mistaken
It is really a good work out song
Perfect song to listen to when you're exercising
TAEYONG can listen to it right now then
Yes then, for 'Suddenly'
It's like
'Suddenly'
It was really funny when I was recording
'Suddenly'
I felt like I was trying to tell myself
But among our songs in the album
It's on the melodic side
Wait, this is it
This is the song for the 'bus stop'
Are you mad at me for saying that?
No
This is the song to listen to at the bus stop
I guess you like bus stops a lot
Bus stop...
Bus stop on a rainy day
Feel like subway stations don't have the same vibe
Bus stops are good
This
I wouldn't say together
but strangers next to you
Someone else also waiting for the bus
and you just listen to it while it's raining
A bit like
Like a signal?
Like, which bus is that person waiting for?
Maybe Bus 32?
A bit like that
I got reminded of that too
A racing game like that
It goes well with a racing game too
Can't believe how differently we can think
Even the title 'Suddenly'
The final song
'Meaning of Love'
Ay, this song is good
This song, no doubt
This song is made for NCTzen
The lyrics too
It's quite simple
Even the lyrics, there's like 'green flower'
things like that
It's like a fan-dedicated song, honestly
Right
So it's a great song to listen to
anytime, with NCTzen
For me, the song, 'Meaning of Love'
is among our songs
the most easy listening song ever
of all the NCT 127 songs yet
Not just from this album, but all songs
Fyi, that's your personal opinion
Leave it at that, it's DOYOUNG's personal opinion
Yes, make sure to include that
It's the easiest to listen to
Think it can do well on the charts too
So we want to promote the song a lot too
And I personally love the first part of it
Really?
I love the part JAEHYUN sings, the intro
The lyrics too
It's so pretty
The title of it too
'Meaning of Love'
Like the song 'Plot Twist' 'First encounters are always so hard'
Like that vibe
- I'm sorry - Right
The song 'Meaning of Love'
even when we first got the lyrics
I thought the title was so pretty
When someone's in love
you can't see the way it is
that kind of vibe
Skrrr
As we kept on talking
our radio is coming to an end already
Yes
JAEHYUN, so as we're preparing for 'Walk'
we only have just a few weeks till the album's out
What are your resolutions for this album?
As we already filmed the MV
and all the promotional videos too
We just have the music shows left
And the choreography this time
almost has this dance crew vibe
and there's wiggle room to make each performance different too
It's very open
So it's like set
but within it
we can have fun and be a bit more free
- Right - It's like that
As the choreography has that vibe
the vibe of the song itself too
So I wanted to say, let's really enjoy it
Each time
we can make each performance
more fun
Please concentrate
I want to focus too
but that's bothering me
What about you, DOYOUNG?
Ever since preparing for the 6th album, 'WALK'
We've had a lot of meetings too
How to go about it
As TAEYONG isn't here too
how to go about making the album
I've thought a lot myself
and talked to the members a lot too
As we prepared for the 'Fact Check' album last year
Thinking about having the 9 of us together
to make a good one together
So I had that in mind
but as TAEYONG's absent for the album, 'WALK'
I wasn't sure about the changes
that would happen to making the album
And how to go about
making it
Like how to still be cool, but
Oh, sorry
I'm sorry
We did talk about it
We have to still be cool
Despite the changes
how can we stay cool?
How should we go about the album?
We thought a lot about those for this one
And as you said before
we have way more group scenes than individual scenes
So the choreography too,
it looks way cooler when we're together
Just all of this
Elements that shine the group as a whole
really complement this album, 'WALK'
Think we're on the right track
I felt that
To be honest, this album
feels like the turning point for NCT 127
from the previous NCT 127 albums to more albums yet to come
I felt that for this album
Wanted the group as a whole to shine
Really to show that we really shine
when we're together
As it's a well-made album
doing well on the performances
is what completes the album
So hope we really do our best till the end
Right
Tell us your final thoughts to the I WALK Radio listeners
please
Walk with us
this time around as well
- And - Walk
with us
Thank your listening
DOYOUNG, tell us your final thoughts
Okay
For me
To say it
At a time like this
to come up with a full album
is a bit of a downward trend
to release a full album once a year like this
to have one popular song, one viral song
rather than a full album
Listen to songs that come up on shorts
We tend to go for those shorts and a single song
It's way more common
But looking back the path NCT 127 walked
the way we approached music
We're a bit like
we care a lot about our style, image as an artist
- albums... - Live by style, die by style
We honestly care a lot about our style
- Artist image - I believe NCT 127 to be
Live by style, die by style
Live and dye by
Live by style, die by style
That's how I think about our team
Even if the song might not seem the most successful
we challenge ourselves on something really new
We cared more about how cool it is, as music
I believe we're that kind of artist, NCT 127
So I believe we need artists like that
in this field of music
Think musicians like us are necessary
And for NCTzen who continue to love us
hope NCTzen follow along with us
with that in mind, throughout our performances too
As artists who genuinely care about our own style of music
For each song, we've carefully thought out
how our fans would like it
We wanted to be artists
who can make our fans feel proud
That's how this 6th album came about
So hope you guys send lots of love
Even if not a lot of people love it
if our listeners, our NCTzen love it
why am I looking at you
It's all good
hope you guys send lots of love
So this is it
Then
right
This is it for today
This was I WALK Radio
Thank you
Thank you
