Speaker 2: Do you remember when we met? Yes?

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, backstage. I was so curious about songwriting and what

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: you write about. Remember, I was like, what do you

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: write about?

11
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: Would you tell me so? Personal stuff exactly? But that's

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: the best stuff, isn't it.

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: Writing is like therapy for me.

14
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: So now, EJ, it's been a whirlwind since h K

15
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: pop Demon Hunters. This is a fascinating story to me

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: that you came up with the idea for Golden on

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: the way to the dentist.

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: Yes, I did, and the yeah, I actually came back

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: from the dentist today, So I hope everyone hits today.

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: What song did you come up with today?

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, nothing came up today, but that having a gold filling?

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: Sorry, does it happen that fast for you for Golden?

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it happened pretty quickly, the melody specifically, But yeah,

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: it's just like the track was so good, so sometimes

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: like you know, We're lucky it comes out and that's

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: how Golden was born.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, when I'm on my way to the dentist,

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about lying about how much I'm flossing, and

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: all of the questions they.

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: Ask, right when they ask you, are you in pain?

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: It was like, no, everything's fine, can we finish? Are

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: we good? Is it time to go?

Speaker 2: So know that, but tell us about in another World?

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's another song I wrote around two three

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: years ago during a session and yeah, same thing. It

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: was during a personal time that and it helped me

43
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: kind of get through a really hard time. Sorry, half

44
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: of my mouth is actually numb, but yeah, anyway, So yeah,

45
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: it's just about like, you know, kind of during that time,

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: I was going through an intentional break and it was

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 3: a healthy one. We were really good, but I wanted

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: an intentional break just to like reassess everything and if

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 3: we if we chose to part ways. It was kind

50
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: of a way to kind of cope with that idea

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: and I and I realized that when I kind of

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: accepted that maybe in this lifetime, because of all the

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: baggage or trauma that we both went through and the

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: resentments that was caused by that, you know, it's kind

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: of you know that in this world we might not

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: be good, but maybe in another world we would we

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: would have been perfect. And that kind of mindset kind

58
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: of helped me let go accepting that, and it kind

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: of helped have an ego death moment, and so weirdly

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: that was like freeing that, like there's infinite versions of

61
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: us and infinite possibility.

62
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Is that Like that's amazing that sophistication of wisdom when

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: handling a crisis in our personal life.

64
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: But that also kind of related to me, not just

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: like relationships, also like me with my relationship with my

66
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: parents or with my dreams. You know, as a kid,

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: I had a dream of becoming a K pop idol,

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: and I had to let that go. So to cope

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: with that, like I had to just accept that like

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: maybe in this lifetime, you know, I wasn't ready. I

71
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: wasn't mentally prepared and it's okay.

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: You know, so this is EJ.

73
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: You've heard EJ's voice from K pop demon Hunters, and

74
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: you're going to hear her voice on her single when

75
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: that comes out. We talked briefly about what it has

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: been like being a voice of a fictional group that

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: is so crazy around the world, but yet you are

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: also are a solo artist who writes their own music.

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: What's that dynamic been like to see happen from your view?

80
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: It's just crazy? Sorry, it's crazy.

81
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: You sounds great yea, yeah, you sound like that in

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: our mouths or not.

83
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: Numb, because, like, I never thought I'd be an artist,

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: so it's actually quite odd. It just happened so organically.

85
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: I never really viewed myself as an artist. It was

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: always as a songwriter, and that's how Hunterricks happened too.

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: I came in as a songwriter. So given the opportunity

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: from fans who've just been so supportive of me and

89
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: just like my singing, that just kind of allowed me

90
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: to explore what artistry meant to me. And I guess,

91
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 3: you know, songwriting is a form of art, so naturally,

92
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of my artistry.

93
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Super excited for all that's happening and can't wait to

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,360
