00:00
Is that how you are when you're drunk?
00:04
I'm a sexy type of drunk.
00:10
So I've been in Korea for 10 years, so I was abroad all half of my life. No success without sweat and tears. We do something crazy sometimes because, you know, like guys, like all guys together at the dorm, like we get bored. Like fashion show in the dorm. Sometimes Chao Joon had a very intense glance, like... Are you into me or something?
00:34
Sport is beyond like just like competing against each other. It's more of like you're creating a new friendship. It's more than just like who win or lose.
00:42
They worked that for like years of years with all the sweat. So what can we expect from four of you?
00:48
You have to wait and see.
01:00
Have you ever seen it? And I feel like the thing I've ever seen is not ever again. What's wrong? No. What's wrong?
01:20
We're only doing it. But the world needs to be changed. It doesn't change just the same thing. But it has to change.
01:44
Welcome to the show. Thank you.
01:46
And welcome back. Welcome back to Thailand. We are so happy every time you came and visit. And how long are you staying this time?
01:55
I'm staying for...
01:59
I'm going back on 20 days or weeks or what?
02:02
So weeks, like two weeks now. So I'm here for my concert. And then after that, I have my new song coming out. So I'm here to promote my new song as well. Also, try something new in my hometown. So I'm staying for like a week more. And then I'm going back like on 25. I see.
02:22
Yes. You're still based in Korea, of course. Yes. But you keep... Going to many places, right?
02:27
I'm going to many places. China, Japan, Korea, Thai.
02:32
All over the place.
02:34
US, just like flying.
02:36
Is it fun for you to travel around?
02:38
Yes, I do like to stay in a hotel as well. I feel like it's the time that I get a tight sleep.
02:45
Oh, okay. Okay.
02:47
Because I don't have to clean my own place.
02:49
That's the big thing, right? Yeah, big thing.
02:52
And it's quiet.
02:54
And I think I'm very good at adapting to new places because when I get used to one bed mattress, I can't sleep.
03:03
I see.
03:04
Okay. We've been waiting for this. And by we, I mean myself, my team, and our audience because you're one of the most requested guests to appear on the show. And our dream has just come true, everybody. That is here. And let's talk about your concert. You just had your concert. Just last week, right?
03:23
Yes. First of all, thank you for having me today. Of course. It's a pleasure.
03:27
Yes.
03:29
So, 10th anniversary concert.
03:33
Yes.
03:33
The first time in 10 years that you've been in the industry.
03:37
Yeah.
03:38
So I've been in Korea for 10 years, so I was abroad all like half of my life. I was like, oh, it's my 10 year anniversary. Where should I do my first concert once I become more independent, have my own labels, trying to start something new. And I was like, Okay, I think it's the best place to do like a 10-year anniversary would be my hometown. So I decided to come back here, arrange everything, like the concert with like my team. And then, boom, in the short period of time, the 10-year anniversary concert happened and the name is like 10core0110.
04:14
And then during the concert, you could see I invite so many Thai artists who are so good at singing. They're very good, entertaining people. And I discovered Thai artists had a very high potential of being a global scale artist. And then I did get to learn so many things by just interacting with all the Thai artists. And I'm very impressive. I'm very impressed by their potential and how they show me their, like, tips and tricks during the rehearsal.
04:46
That's great to hear.
04:48
Yeah. So how long have you, did you prepare for the concert? I imagine it would take you, like, a long time and a lot, right, to put together this huge concert.
04:58
Apparently it's just two months. Oh, okay. We've been, like, running crazy, like, a lot of, like, like communication like abroad because like for this concert like Tencore we had um the Korean team from Element and also like Ten Sounds um production house concert and also like maybe my Thai song as well and it can be like for all the artists as well so we have a lot of like conversation back and forth about the concert so very fast feedback and then we just make all this happen in two months
05:34
I think two months is a very short period of time, right?
05:37
It's very short.
05:37
Yeah, and you guys still make it happen. You did such a great job.
05:41
I think I had to shout out to the team that they did a great job because even though everything is made around me, we had our role separate. Like, okay, I will not... I will focus on the things I have to do and you have to focus on the things you have to do like the team and everyone just like do it so fast and really support my back so I can really focus on my like artwork and creativity.
06:06
Yeah, it's great to have a great team to support you and just help you with everything that you need, right? And everybody have fun together too. Because one of our team, she went to the concert and she cannot stop talking about the concert. So she was so impressed. She had a lot of fun. So which is the best or the highlight moment of the evening, from your opinion?
06:35
Every part. No, because everyone is very, give their all to every section of the concert. So I would select just one section. But for me personally, I really like the rehearsal process. Before the concert, like while we were sitting down, just like do all the talking, like in the practice room, just like rehearsed with all the dancers, the staff, kind of did all the talking and all the...
07:05
You know, like, oh, this is like, no, this is yes, this is no. Like all the talking that happened behind during that time is the moment that I really enjoy doing it because you can see everyone like very passionate about like doing all the work. And then I also very happy to be like to do all the sweating with all the dancers and everyone.
07:29
So every moment leading up to the big event, the excitement and the anticipation, right? Yes. So Illman, you mentioned your new level, your own level. Does it feel different now that you're the big boss, like you have to run this level, not just an artist?
07:50
Yes, I think it's very different because... But as I say, I'm very lucky that I have, like, my team, like, Element and All Ten Sounds with me to, like, help me figure things out as well. But the biggest change is...
08:06
Before, I would be only focused on my artwork, my music, performance, all the creative stuff. But right now it's more like communicating and I have to be more responsible for everything that goes around me.
08:27
But I learned a lot from this opportunity. It's been just like two, three months. But during this time, I think it's like five years of knowledge that I got input in my brain.
08:41
Right, right. Because you've been in the industry for so long. So you've seen it done before. You can learn from a lot of great people around you too. Yeah. Yeah.
08:53
But doing it by yourself is a different story.
08:56
I know. Yeah. But I can see that you're having so much fun.
09:01
It's... I think it's very... You're having fun. But at the same time, it's very tiring. I wouldn't... If I say like, oh, it's good. Just like, I'm happy already. That's a lie.
09:14
But I would say...
09:16
It's tiring, but you see what you gain from those hard times and all those tons of communication. You see what you get after that and things you learn. So I was like, okay, I think it's the right choice for me to start doing this.
09:32
Yeah, of course. If you want to create huge and important things, of course you have to put in your hard work, right? There's no easy way to achieve the greatness.
09:42
No success without sweat and tears.
09:45
Yeah.
09:46
Okay. So let's talk about languages because that's another thing that your fans get a lot of inspiration from you because you speak so many languages, right? So maybe we can start with this mini games because have you seen this TikTok trend where they say the same sentence with different moods?
10:05
Yes.
10:06
Yeah. But this time for you, it's going to be different moods and also different language too. Right, okay. So actually I consult with AI. What phrase should we like have 10 play with us though? And I talked to like three different AIs and one phrase came up. So it's, where's my hair? Do you still remember where's my hair?
10:29
I think that's from my Seven Sense era.
10:36
my early debut day. So I think I was like talking to my friends, but I don't know what's like the theme of the content. But then I just say like, where's my hair? And that kind of goes like viral for a bit.
10:47
So it's like you got your new haircut for the new concept of the
10:53
Yes, I remember now.
10:54
Right, right. And then you were like, you were surprised by how short it turned out to be or something. Yes, yes. Right? So it's like nothing you expected. Yes. Yeah. So you'll be like, where's my hair? And your fans love it.
11:09
Like that thing came out because I was young. And then during that time.
11:14
Yeah.
11:15
You know, you wake up at like 5am in the morning to go to the salon to do all the hair and makeup. And then that's the first day I had to do my hat cut. So I fell asleep on my chair during them trying to do all the dressing. And then when I open up, when I wake up, my hat just becomes super short and I was like, Where's my hair?
11:37
Yeah. So now we can replicate that, but with different moods and language, all right? So we start with English, but sad.
11:50
Where's my hair?
11:53
But did you feel sad at the time too, or you were just surprised?
12:00
It's like many years ago.
12:01
I was surprised and also like, I shouldn't have slept on the chair.
12:06
So you might have a little say, like how long it should be. Okay. How about in Korean, but drunk?
12:14
In Korean, but drunk.
12:21
Is that how you are when you're drunk?
12:25
I'm a sexy type of drunk.
12:26
So when I'm... So when you're drunk, you get sexy?
12:31
No, no. When I'm drunk, I talk quietly.
12:34
Ah, okay.
12:36
Maybe that's more commercial kind of way.
12:38
No one knows. Right, right. No one knows. Okay. And, okay. Now, in Thai, but flirty.
12:45
That's tricky. In Thai, I have to speak. I have to speak. I have to speak. I have to speak.
12:49
I have to speak. I have to speak.
12:51
I have to speak. Hey, I have to speak.
12:55
That's not flirty.
12:58
That's... Do you get flirty sometimes too?
13:03
You mean me? Yeah. Like to someone else? Yeah.
13:06
yeah to my fans okay like maybe playfully flirty yeah playfully flirty playfully flirty yeah okay but i think like flirty that there can be so many ways i think i'm more of like a very like like more of like um a friendly flirty kind of type yeah like a child play yeah yeah yeah like like like in the teasing way yeah yeah just teasing right okay in chinese but confused
13:39
So which word is hair in Chinese? And Jainali is of course wear.
13:47
In Japanese and happy.
13:53
So you speak a lot of languages, but does your personality also change when switching between languages to
14:01
I think the language changed how I sound, but I'm not changing my personality.
14:07
You're still you. Yes. Like, okay, stand by.
14:12
The meaning behind every word. So, like, in English, more straightforward. But in Thai or in Korea or in Japan, like, one word, like, But, like, in Korea, the word, like, the same meaning but like 10 more that are similar but just a little okay like new ones new ones that help you to express more feelings to it so i feel like because of like each language had their own like meaning behind all the words that why when you speak in those languages like it makes the word the vocabulary that you choose okay kind of like present your personality as well okay
14:54
So you're saying sometimes, like, language helps you be more, like, expressive with what you want to say, something like that?
15:02
Yes. And also, like, in English, the word is very straightforward. That's why when we speak English, it sounds like we're, like, very bold or, like, brave or very straightforward. But in Korea or Japanese, what I think might not be the right word.
15:18
Yeah, from your experience. Yeah, from my experience. But in Korea, you can see, oh, I think he's very polite or he's this kind of person.
15:31
Okay. So which language are you still actively learning the most?
15:36
If I have time, I'm trying to learn everything. Because if you don't use it often or read, you just forget. Yeah, okay.
15:44
So you're just learning by using it.
15:47
If I have time, nowadays, I don't know if I can say this, but a social media platform like SNS and stuff, they have all the language accounts that you can follow. So I do follow those kind of accounts during my free time. If I just surf the internet and then come across...
16:10
those pages, just, like, stop for a second, just, like, read it through.
16:14
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. That's micro-learning. Yeah. I think that's a trend, too, so you don't have to, like, spend the whole hour to, like, actively learning the language, but you can just, like, do it, like, all the time.
16:26
Yeah.
16:27
Spread it... throughout your day for example yeah okay all right let's do one word or more so another game that we will get to know then even more through his own word right so one english word you've just learned recently any new word in your life yes okay it might be super recently that i don't remember can i shake it on my dictionary sure please
16:55
Let me check. Oh, nonchalant.
16:59
Nonchalant. Oh, okay. That's your new word. Where do you heard it from?
17:03
Oh, because I was talking to my producer friends and because we're going to write a love song and stuff. So we start having conversation. Like, what's your past relationship? And then one of my friends was like... The way you do because you're nonchalant. Because you're nonchalant. I was like, wait, what is nonchalant? Because I know, like, I understand, like, the actual definition. But when you're using those kind of sentences, it's just, like, a different meaning. I see. So I was like, hmm...
17:32
so you kind of make people like kind of confused and stuff so like oh nonchalant yeah so did you like would you like put that in your new song for example like when you came across the new words normally people would try to like work it in the sentence or try to use it in real life yeah would you do it like
17:53
I was trying to use it in my real life, but sometimes so many things happen. So I tend to forget it, that I learned it, so I put all those words in my notes.
18:04
Oh, okay. That's good. That's a great habit to have. Like, hear a new word, write it down. Just write it down on my notes. Oh, that's good. Okay. How about one Chinese word that you learned from your WayV members?
18:19
One Chinese word?
18:19
Yeah. Do you still remember like any word in particular that, oh, okay.
18:25
He taught me that word.
18:27
What kind of word do you want to know? Give me some clue then.
18:31
Word that you can actually use or maybe slangs?
18:34
Slangs?
18:35
Yeah.
18:36
But in Chinese.
18:40
Hmm.
18:42
Let me think, think.
18:44
Oh, this is a very Chinese way of saying. Let me think, think. Really? Because in Chinese, um... Oh, 好好. So, like...
18:54
Repeating the word.
18:55
Repeating the word, then it's kind of like you're kind of exaggerating like how... Like...
18:59
do it do it you know like so let me think think think you know like our grandma like also from like a chinese like sentence right so like sometimes like oh it's like the same like when um it's like but in thai we have we tend to repeat the word too and actually my foreign friends actually asked me about this in thai language too but why would you guys have to like repeat words Yeah.
19:27
It's like exaggerating. Yeah.
19:30
Oh, I can teach you my Chinese name. Okay. Which is? It's like Li Yongxin. Li Yongxin.
19:38
And then it's like a different Chinese character. So Chinxin can also mean like kiss. Ah, okay. So Chinxin means?
19:48
Kiss. Kiss me. Oh, nice. Okay. All right. Let's move on to Korean now. One Korean word. NCTU members say to each other all the time. Which means what?
20:02
What are you doing?
20:05
Oh, okay. In terms of like, if you're not together, just like you want to text that person. Like shaking in?
20:16
Right. And then you're just like, what are you doing?
20:19
Okay. So you're really curious about...
20:22
what they are doing, not just, what are you doing? Not in that sense.
20:26
I think like when you just like do like a text message, just like more, hey, it's more like, hello.
20:34
It's kind of had those feelings to it. Yeah. I see. It's like, I want to like talk to you about something, but just like, yeah.
20:44
What is one weird habit that you and your members had back in the dorm, in the trainee dorm?
20:55
If I know that is weird, I won't do it.
21:00
That means I don't know what the things I did. Is it weird or not? Okay. Okay.
21:06
Nothing is very weird though.
21:10
So if you and your friends do, it's not weird.
21:13
I think we... We do something crazy sometimes because, you know, like guys, like all guys together at the Dom, like we get bored and we, you know, all guys are crazy. No, not all. No, that's great. Okay, not all guys. Not all guys.
21:28
Okay, but you guys. All guys.
21:31
So like, I think like during our training days...
21:35
we had like a big thing up the next day so no one could like can sleep that night so we were like let's do something fun so we just like do some weird like fashion show in the dorm we had like the fashion show like like you know the catwalk thing so we just put all the weird clothes on us and then just like do something like improvise some weird um outfit and then just show it off show it out with loud music no music no music because it's an apartment in korea so at night if you turn it too loud so yeah you might disturb like the neighbors
22:16
So it's a quiet, silent fashion show. Silent fashion show.
22:20
With weird outfit. Yes, and then we do some games. And if you lose, you have to go to the convenience store and get some water with that clothes on.
22:31
That should be fun.
22:33
So did you lose?
22:34
Nah.
22:35
Never?
22:35
Wow, you're good. But we go down together.
22:39
Okay, just to like laugh at it.
22:43
Okay, if you were to compare yourself to an animal, what would that be?
22:49
Like, everybody... A lot of people say, like, a cat. I do see their resemblance, but... Yeah. Yeah, I think, because... Now we see some cat quality in you.
22:59
Oh, thank you.
23:00
I can be, like, very extrovert, but I do like my quiet time as well. I need my quiet time. So I need, like, a time that I'm home. No one's at home, just, like, me sitting down, quiet. Me time. Staring out. Staring out. At the space. With, like... One glass of wine or whiskey.
23:23
That's very cat-like. And actually you have like three cats, right?
23:27
Yes.
23:28
Do you see yourself in any of them?
23:31
I see like some part of me in all my three cats. Yeah.
23:37
Like Louis, he might seem like gentle, but if it reaches limit, he can be very aggressive sometimes. So that's just like you?
23:46
I think so.
23:47
And then Leon is very like affectionate. He just like move around, like on everyone. Just like kind of like.
23:57
like go on you just like do some like cat massage and then meow at you that's like that side of me i also have that when i feel like okay i need some like well i can like cuddling time yeah yeah cuddling time right and then levy is i think levy like i'm very burdened sometimes as well yeah i if i have like something i want to do I was, like, trying to do it.
24:23
But I'm also trying to listen to a lot of stuff. But Levi's those kind of, like, cat, when he want to do something, he just, like, go at it. And if he has something, he just, like, meow so loud. I was like, oh, okay. Okay. I see. Right. Okay.
24:41
I want to get this done.
24:42
Or, yeah. It's lucky that my cat can't speak human language. They're going to, like...
24:50
Yeah. What would they say to you if they can speak human language?
24:54
Why are you late? Why are you late? Where's my food? Give me more. Yeah.
24:59
Stop hugging me.
25:01
You're very smelly sometimes when you're back. Maybe my cat will say that because I kiss my cat a lot.
25:06
Yeah. Yeah. And I think I heard people say that one of the best quality for like all the pets is that they can talk. So if they can, yeah, they wouldn't be our best friend anymore.
25:19
That's true. Yeah. But I wish I could have, like, a switch on and off. Like, okay, now you're talking.
25:24
I want you to talk now, and now you don't.
25:26
But I see nowadays they have, like, you can train your pet to do, like, the talk button.
25:31
Oh, yes. Yeah.
25:33
And that's kind of work. I see a lot of video on this. Yeah.
25:38
Yeah. I don't want my pet to talk. yeah i just i just want to communicate with them like psychically oh that's okay that's okay that's fine with me that's fine okay all right so um one thai word okay that you would tattoo on your body if you had to which word would you pick yeah i don't see like any words that i would do on my body all right Okay, so you put a lot of value on your family.
26:11
Yes, I do.
26:13
Thai words. Or maybe... Yeah, I think kakwa is like the nice. Nice? Yes, I think it's nice.
26:21
Yeah, yeah.
26:22
Or like my family name.
26:26
List other names on your back.
26:29
Oh, on my back would be...
26:31
Or maybe like somewhere here.
26:33
Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. But you have some tattoos, right? Yes, I do. Yeah, yeah. Which one would you say have like the most interesting stories?
26:43
Oh, maybe my first tattoo or like the letter tattoo is like... I forgot what it says, right?
26:52
Where is it?
26:53
You are the light, you have to burn. So I feel like...
26:57
Yeah, if you want to shine so bright sometimes, like the burning part needs to happen.
27:02
Yeah, so it's like give and take.
27:04
Yeah.
27:05
To what you want, you have to like give something, lose something as well. Yeah. Nice.
27:11
Nice philosophy. Oh, how cool.
27:17
Okay, and another reason that you're here today is because the upcoming Asian Games 2026, which will happen in Japan, right? Yes. Yeah. How excited are you?
27:26
I'm very excited. Asian Games represent, like, all Asian, all country in Asia, and it's a place where all, like, at least can just gather around exchange their culture and also show their friendship and also compete against like all the spots that they're like enter for and they work that for like like years of years with all the sweat and like you know like all the hard work they did and then me there to represent all the hard works. It's just like, oh, it's an honor for me.
27:58
And I'm very happy that they choose me to be the face and the one who helped them support the games.
28:05
And actually, it's a huge deal for Thai people, too, because we've been watching Asian Games for years, years. But this is the first time that we would have this massive and official sharing campaign like this, too. So this year, there's a very interesting slogans too. So there's like more than a sporting event, which is like and also imagine one Asia, right? So how do you feel about those messages?
28:32
Oh yes, I think like more than a sporting event, I think that's right because I do play sport and I think everyone knows like when you play, when you're participating in sports, it's more than just like who win or lose yeah even though you're from a different place during like the comp while you compete against each other you kind of exchange like information your energy and then after that you like you know like um you shake hands and then you share it. While you're playing, you are exchanging your story to another player as well.
29:07
And it's more like you're creating a new social system, you're creating new friendships, new connections. So I feel like sport is more like a connecting kind of way.
29:16
Yeah, it brings people together. And when we compete in a sport, we kind of have this encouragement from each other and we want to do better. We want to improve ourselves and we get a lot of new friends too.
29:31
I love sports in that sense a lot.
29:34
So maybe now we can do some more like mini games according to the sports. So this one is called Best Games. you've ever known, all right? So first of all, if you could compete in any sport at all in the Asian Games 2026, which sport would you pick? Like which one do you have like the best chance to win, do you think?
29:58
Badminton?
29:59
Badminton? Maybe, I don't know. Do you still play?
30:02
Sometimes.
30:03
Right.
30:05
What do you do? Yeah, I think badminton.
30:11
Yeah, it is a fun sport to watch too. And Thai people, we Thai, we have like a lot of great athletes too in badminton. Yes. Yeah. Okay.
30:22
Let's talk about some of the new sports introduced in these coming Asian games. Padel. Have you played?
30:30
Have you watched?
30:31
No, I never.
30:31
Yeah, it's very interesting. It's like the combination of tennis and squash.
30:39
I think I saw it on social media.
30:43
Yeah, a lot of fun to watch. So it's a brand new sport in this coming Asian Games, and it is played in pairs.
30:50
So who's the one person you've had the best working chemistry with?
30:57
Anybody at all?
31:00
Sport. I had a lot of great chemistry with a lot of people while working because different projects have different ways of doing it. But for sports...
31:19
I think my member, Yang Yang. Yang Yang? Yang Yang. Okay. Why? Because we don't really talk. We talk a lot. We're that close that sometimes we don't have to talk, but we know the other thinking during when we're doing the working stuff. So I think that would be great for sport as well, because while you're doing sport, you don't really like. Right.
31:41
you know each other yeah yeah yes right and you can kind of trust each other yeah like okay cover there and i'm covering here yeah so when you play a sport are you do you get like competitive yes i'm very aggressive that's why i choose not to do a lot of sport right now because i also have to do like
32:05
like dancing and stuff in their schedule that i have to like take responsibility off and every time i do sports i always get like i get too aggressive i'm getting competitive just like yeah like kind of over the board sometimes and if there's like injury stuff happening then the team will be like panicking so okay i have to save myself as well yeah
32:29
But mostly, I'm in this to win, right? Yeah. That's the vibe.
32:32
That's why I'm more into, like, one-on-one, like sports. Okay.
32:37
All right. Anybody at all that you want to collaborate with in terms of, like, anything at all, like work, sports, or trips?
32:48
Oh, if possible, it would be nice if we can create, like, a hiking, like, club. Oh, okay. And invite, like... So you're into hiking?
32:59
I do like camping and hiking, but that's need like time, right? Like you need like two days. That would be a great because you go there to some hiking at night, just like do camp. And then the next day, just like, okay, see you next week.
33:16
All right, another thing that is new in this event is e-sports and breaking which is like break dancing.
33:22
Okay.
33:23
Okay, so who is the best gamer and dancer you've ever known?
33:34
Yang Yang. Yang Yang again? From WayV. Okay. Xiao Jun from WayV.
33:40
Okay, this is like gamer or dancer?
33:43
Gamer. Gamer, okay. And Ben Hendry from Wavy. Okay. Because I mention my members because I don't play.
33:52
Ah. Oh, can I say that? I don't play games.
33:54
You don't?
33:55
Yeah, I don't play online games. I don't play.
33:57
All right. But these guys are great.
34:00
These guys, like, play, like, wow. Seriously, and... Like, they have, like...
34:08
All... Everything, like, said, like, all the cool stuff. Oh, okay. The first time I see, like, there's a chair that had, like, a 360 speaker, and the sound just, like, hit your face, and feel, like, all, like, the...
34:25
The air molecules are kind of like hitting your skin. Oh, this is crazy. Yeah, yeah.
34:31
Like top of the line, like professional level settings, right? Yes. Yeah. Okay. How about dancer? Who's the best? Besides yourself, of course. Oh, yeah. You're a great dancer, too. But besides you, who is the best dancer you've known?
34:46
I would say Taemin Young. Oh.
34:53
Kai-young.
34:56
There's a lot of great dancers.
34:58
Yeah. Right now, my perspective as a performer, I would say Kai and Taemin because a lot of people are very good at dancing, but dancing is also a type of art that you need to express yourself. But both... of the young are very good at expressing themselves while dancing as well. So I would say they are very professional.
35:26
Not just about the technique, but how you express yourself while dancing. Okay.
35:32
Let's talk archery. You've done archery, right? Yes. Yeah. So it requires precision and focus, of course. So which one person should not be anywhere near you during the competition? Because they'll be the most distracting.
35:50
So who is the most distracting person you've known?
35:57
Someone who can distract or even annoy you the most.
36:02
I keep you from focusing.
36:05
A lot of people. No, I'm joking.
36:16
Not this drag, but... Oh, let me just, like, my members. It would be Xiaojun. Okay. But in a good way, because, like...
36:30
Not distract, but, like, just for example, while we were dancing.
36:35
Because when we danced, like, everyone had to kind of, like, look around the room. But sometimes Chao Jun had a very intense glance, like...
36:48
But in a good way, he was trying to see, like, what are you... Like, how you dance, like, which muscle you're using.
36:54
So his glance... He's, like, laser focused.
36:57
And then I was, like... And then I'm starting to, like...
37:03
Are you into me or something?
37:05
You get self-conscious and I'm comfortable around him. I'm flattered right now. Why do you keep staring at me like that? Yeah.
37:13
But it's a good way. Yeah, it's a good kind of distraction, I think. Because he's so focused on what he's like... Dancing is like observing, right? That's why he's like very intense class, yeah.
37:25
All right. Okay. Another new sport that is newly introduced in this coming Asian Games is MMA.
37:32
Yeah, mixed martial arts. Oh, yeah. So I want to ask you, who do you think is the best and toughest fighter you've known?
37:42
In any sense at all?
37:43
My mom.
37:44
Your mom. Okay. In which way she fights then?
37:48
Like for her son and for her kids. I think every mom is like a big like warrior to like. Yeah, that's fair.
37:55
Yeah.
37:57
But your mom, so she does everything. She's done everything for you. Yes. And she wouldn't like back out.
38:04
