00:00I don't know how much we're allowed to say.
00:01You gotta tease a little bit.
00:03I came all the way here, so you have to tell me something.
00:10Well, it's a celebration, apparently.
00:19I'm hanging out with the girls on the Seraphim.
00:20How are you doing today?
00:21We're good. How is everybody?
00:24Good, we're good.
00:25It's so good to see you. I think it's been a couple years.
00:27It has been a while.
00:28And now I have to come to Seoul to see you, so how about that?
00:31We'll be doing all that next time.
00:32Well, we're excited about the new song, obviously.
00:34But just in general, when you're making a comeback
00:36and you're starting kind of a new era,
00:37what is different this time around for you ladies?
00:40For this era, one of the key themes that we wanted to kind of go back to
00:44were our roots.
00:46And we started with a message surrounding being fearless.
00:50And so we kind of delved back into that sentiment
00:54and really thought about what fear means to us now.
00:57And that's kind of where we started with this era.
01:00I think it's really, like, autobiographical in a lot of ways.
01:05And I think it's a lot more personal than what we've done in the past.
01:08And a lot of our, like, actual personal experiences went into the album.
01:13So I think it's really special.
01:15It feels, I don't know, it feels different.
01:17Well, I mean, I love you that you said how personal it is
01:20because it feels like such a celebration, you know, in a way.
01:24Because the song is so confident.
01:25It's so big.
01:26So talk to me about the inspiration for that song specifically.
01:29Yeah.
01:29It's time to celebrate.
01:31It's time to celebrate.
01:32It's time to celebrate.
01:32We gotta run again.
01:34Oh, oh.
01:35그냥 저희가 이때까지 보냈던 시간들, 버텨온 시간들이 지나면서
01:41뭔가 두려움을 부정하기보다 좀 더 받아들이고
01:46그러고 나서에 스스로를 약간 재발견한 저희의 모습들이 더 강해졌다라고 생각을 해서
01:54그런 부분을 좀 자축하는 매매를 담은 곡인데
01:58저희도 뭔가 더 강해진 모습으로 돌아올 수 있어서 너무너무 좋습니다.
02:04That is so beautiful.
02:06And I mean, you have to also tell me about the music video.
02:09So talk about filming and how excited you were to release that for your fans.
02:12이번 셀레브레이션 뮤비는 되게 다양한 모습을 가진 크리처?
02:18크리처 분들과 함께 했는데
02:21알고 보니 우리도 같은 상처를 가진 크리처였다 해서
02:26다 같이 춤추고 파티하듯이 즐기는 그런 분위기를 감아봤습니다.
02:33And we got a lot of inspiration from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
02:36So that's kind of where the creature ideation came from.
02:40You have your own hurt and your own pain.
02:42And you like try to hide it with a like a mask.
02:46But the music video is basically us like going to Frankenstein
02:50and being like, hey, we're the same as you.
02:52Don't run from us. Let's just like party together.
02:55And then in the end, Frankenstein accepts that we're all the same.
02:58And it's okay to show his like hurt or imperfect self.
03:02And then yeah, it's just like a big celebration in the end.
03:05It was really fun.
03:06Well, I love getting those creative juices flowing with the party.
03:09It's good. It's good.
03:10Yeah.
03:16I mean, the song in general is a party, right?
03:19It's like so big.
03:20It makes me feel like I'm at like a festival.
03:22So do you guys already know like when you're going to get to perform?
03:25Like how ready are you to do it for your fans?
03:52I mean, so much headbanging for sure.
03:55Yeah.
03:55And I mean, speaking of headbanging, I may or may not have gotten to hear another song from the project.
04:01It has a real cool like urban vibe to it.
04:04So what are you guys excited to share about the rest of the project?
04:07I don't know how much we're allowed to start.
04:09You got to tease a little bit.
04:11I came all the way here.
04:12So you have to tell me something.
04:13I came to LA from Seoul.
04:15I'll give you something.
04:17Okay.
04:18What can I say?
04:20What can I say?
04:22What can I say?
04:23What can I say?
04:25What can I say?
04:39What can I say?
04:40What can I say?
04:41Maybe when you get to go from...
04:42Every member...
04:43Every member participated in some shape or form throughout the entire album.
04:51And the way the album ends is very unique.
04:54And it's something that we haven't done before.
04:56So I think that's something that you could look forward to.
05:01I appreciate it.
05:03And then also, I was really excited to hear about the first VR concert that gotbang together.
05:06that you guys did.
05:07So how was that to work on that and be a part of a VR concert?
05:11Mm-hmm.
05:15I was the first time to do the VR concert,
05:18so it was really interesting.
05:20And we saw it directly.
05:22But I can see the members very closely.
05:26I really enjoyed it.
05:27It's really a lot of experience in the real world,
05:30so I feel like I've been going to the concert.
05:33Yeah, I know the fans loved it.
05:35And speaking of what the fans love,
05:36I mean, oh, my God, Spaghetti, right?
05:38We're talking about the new music,
05:40but Spaghetti was so viral and everybody loved it so much.
05:43So how was it to see that song blow up in that way with your fans?
05:52So Spaghetti was after two of our trilogies,
05:56so we were like, what do we have to do now?
05:59Like, what should we go after?
06:02And we really didn't expect this much love
06:05and this much attention.
06:06I think what we were really going for with Spaghetti,
06:08like, the message of the song is,
06:12I don't care what the world thinks.
06:14I'm just going to make my own Spaghetti
06:17and, you know, enjoy it because I like it.
06:20I like it.
06:21And that's what matters.
06:22And that's kind of what our mentality was going with Spaghetti.
06:25So our whole focus was to just enjoy the process, have fun,
06:29and share that vibe, that positivity with whoever's watching.
06:35And I think it's that what, I guess, got to the audience,
06:42our genuine excitement about the song.
06:44I mean, they definitely did.
06:46I love seeing it on, like, TikToks and Instagram Reels.
06:48Like, everybody had so much fun with the song.
06:56And then, of course, you got to talk to me about Hobie.
06:59So how was it to work with J-Hope on the show?
07:01Um, um, um, um.
07:04노래가 너무 좋아서,
07:06꼭 참여하고 싶었다고,
07:07피처링 해주고 싶었다고 말씀을 해주셔서,
07:10너무너무 감사했고,
07:12그리고 바쁘신 와중에도 뮤직비디오 촬영까지 해주셔서,
07:15진짜 감사해서 목놀바를 모르겠어서,
07:19항상 말씀드리긴 했는데,
07:22어, 정말 J-Hope 선배님의 그 랩 피처링 덕분에,
07:25이 노래가 더 산 거 같고,
07:28내용도 더 잘 전달이 된 거 같아서,
07:30너무 감사합니다 선배님.
07:33너무 감사합니다.
07:35So awesome.
07:36Thanks Hobie.
07:39And then, I mean,
07:39how is it being here in Seoul and being an idol?
07:43Like, you know, not being from here,
07:44I'm just like, do you all get to hang out?
07:46Is it easy to kind of find that collaborative effort
07:48when you guys all are kind of in a similar area?
07:51There are so many artists that we look up to
07:54and are inspired by.
07:55So I think being able to,
07:58you know, when we promote,
07:59we all go to the same music stations,
08:01the same places,
08:03and we hear each other's music,
08:05see each other's performances.
08:07And like, I think what's really nice about like,
08:10the challenge culture,
08:13I like the shorts and TikToks and stuff,
08:15it gives us an opportunity to,
08:17you know, meet people we haven't met before
08:19and dance together and share each other's songs
08:21in a way that might not have been as accessible.
08:24So, yeah, I think through those processes,
08:27I've gotten like closer to,
08:29because I've been a trainee for a long time.
08:31So I'm able to see like trainees that I used to know
08:34like six, seven years ago
08:35and see them debut and that we're like together as idols.
08:40Through that, I've deepened a lot of my friendships.
08:42So, yeah, it's really nice.
08:44And to have such amazing like seniors
08:47in this same building is a lot of support and strength.
08:53Yeah, that's beautiful.
08:54I love that.
08:54And I love the challenges, by the way.
08:56Yeah.
08:56For fans, that's always so fun.
08:57It's so fun to watch.
08:58To see when people join each other's challenges,
08:59it's really great.
09:00And then I do need some advice from you guys.
09:03You know, you're always so fashionable.
09:04So when you're here in Seoul,
09:06where are you shopping?
09:07What's the vibe like?
09:08Where should I go?
09:14다들 쇼핑을.

09:22선수.
09:23성수?
09:23맞아요.
09:24성수.
09:25추즈 성수 다녀오지 않았어?
09:26맞아요.
09:27저도 막 패션을 잘 아는 사람은 아니지만
09:30선수에 가면 꼭 좀 멋진 사람들이 모여 있더라고요.
09:34그래서 선수에는 뭔가 그 필이 있나 봐요.
09:37그래서 추천합니다.
09:38성수.
09:39성수.
09:40I've heard a lot about the 성수 pop-ups and everything.
09:42My friend Frankie is going to be super excited.
09:44She wants to go there.
09:46And lastly, I mean, your career so far has been fun.
09:48That's what I feel like when I look at it.
09:50You guys have so much fun.
09:51So what are you looking forward to next?
09:53What's the goal that you want to establish with this area?
09:56Well, we just finished our first world tour last year,
10:00and then we had our Angkor concert.
10:02That was really exciting.
10:03And it was the first time touring North America.
10:06That was unforgettable, and I think going forward with this new era,
10:11we have a lot more in store to show, a lot of new music, a lot of fun performances.
10:17Yeah, I think our next goal would be to do a second world tour, hit some maybe continents
10:23that we haven't hit yet, give a really good performance.
10:26A really fun show that everybody can enjoy.
10:29Well, hopefully I'll be at that fun show because I'm ready to headbang, okay?
10:32Yes.
10:34Headbang.
10:34Well, thanks so much for hanging out with me, guys.
10:36I'm going to go shopping, okay?
