Speaker 1: was at the airport and because they were enounced to

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: be arriving at the airport at this time, there was

72
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: a huge crowd and one of the members of courtis

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: con home got his shoes robbed by the fans. They

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: were swarmed and mobbed and it was a little bit

75
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: of it was its sad news because it was mismanaged

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: and his security wasn't protecting them propularly, and there was

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: like way more people than thought. It's a celebration of

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: their success, but also a little bit sad and funny.

79
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: He lost his shoes and he had to go home barefoot.

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: Please the fans, who has con hoo shoes. Please give

81
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: his shoes back. I do not want to come back

82
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: from a super long promotional tour and get and have

83
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: to and have my shoes ran by my fans. Please

84
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: give me my shoes back. But fortunately they were probably

85
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: thrifted fashion. On the same day, Baby monsters Ion was

86
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: spotted at the airport, despite her taking a private flight

87
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: to avoid being spotted because she so unfortunately ended up

88
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: at the same airport at the same time with Cordis

89
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: and she's by herself. She took a private flight. She

90
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to be recognized. She had her mask on,

91
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: she had no staff, and she landed and someone was like, yo, everybody,

92
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: let's take a break from Conho's shoes for a second.

93
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Let's look to the right. Is that Baby monster Ion

94
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: by herself? And then they swarmed her. So poor lady,

95
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: But oh my god, that is so funny. They came

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: for Cordas and got a two for one deal. Speaking

97
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: of Cordis, they had an amazing promotional run. They performed

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: in America. They were in My Homesitdy New York during

99
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: the whole media circuit. They're at Washington Square Park. Please

100
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: do not stay there after eight pm. The rats run

101
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: that park. I remember going to Washington Square Park and

102
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: it was eight thirty and I walked in and four

103
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: rats ran at me at the same time with Pitchforks.

104
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: I was like, IYO, my fault. So I'm glad Courters

105
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: got their content. They did their little promotions they did.

106
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: They did their concert in New York, which was amazing.

107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: I love Courts so much. And uh yeah. They also

108
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: did their first Japan concert at the same venue that

109
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: BTS's first Japan concert was. They said they want to

110
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: start at the same place that their Sonday Names did

111
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: and I think that's beautiful. A lot of people in

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: their comments are talking about how, oh they haven't found

113
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: a group that sparks that same fire that BTS did

114
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: until Kortas, and I think that's so beautiful. And watching

115
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: them perform, watching their dance practices, their old school dance practices,

116
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: listening to their music, and it's just everything kind of

117
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: comes together to and I hope that it propels them

118
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: so far forward and to where BTSs or even beyond.

119
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: And I personally love the group. I think they're so talented.

120
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: And please give con Hoos shoes back, please or sell

121
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: them to me, please, please hend my email anyway, onto

122
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: more funny slash sad news. We spoke a little bit

123
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: about this group of Fantasy Boys and Fantasy Boys Minso

124
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: reveals that his dorm's electricity was cut off for unpaid bills,

125
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: preventing him from contacting fans. Oh my god, that is

126
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: so real. This for groups in smaller companies, there are

127
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: so many less rules than you would expect, Like like

128
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: anything goes is just three people in a basement. I'm

129
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: not saying this is how Fantasy Boys company is run,

130
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: but generally for like these smaller companies with like where

131
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: like it's like four two three letters that like just

132
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: kind of thrown together and they're like, oh, we are

133
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: uh d u I Entertainment and and and it's just

134
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: run by like like two dudes who was like, oh

135
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: my god, let's drink some sojiu and have an idea.

136
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: And then they cast like a bunch of like young

137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: young Korean boys to like live in this basement with them,

138
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, I don't know, you can dance.

139
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: And it's just like this is so real. Like it's

140
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: like unless you're part of these bigger companies, like you're

141
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna deal with a lot of hardship. And if you

142
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: see any groups who have debuted gone through all these

143
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: shruggles and it's even a little bit successful, just know

144
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: that they have really gone through the ringer like and

145
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: unfortunately Fantasy Boys. You guys are the medium of which

146
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: I am telling and sharing this anecdote. I'm not saying

147
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: that's how you guys are run. I don't know anything

148
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: about your management and company, but I saw that was

149
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: like a funny little thing. He said his electricity was

150
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: cut off for unpaid bills. Yo. We were there many

151
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: times and he couldn't contact his fans. He was like, Yo,

152
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: I was really stressed. I'm not going to lie. So

153
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: prayers up for Menzo, Prayers up for Fantasy Boys. Howe

Speaker 1: You guys are all we have. So thank you for

158
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: participating in the community. But speaking of these terrible, terrible conditions,

159
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: an Idle union, aim to protect the rights and welfare

160
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: of idols and entertainment workers, are set to launch later

161
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: this year. This huge deal, This is a huge, huge deal.

162
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: When I signed my contract in twenty I think it

163
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: was twenty nineteen, they already had kind of these rules

164
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: in place. They had like a government made template of

165
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: certain uh checkpoints that you would have to fulfill in

166
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: order to uh run your K pop company. And it's like, oh,

167
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: like if you can't like it's like certain things against

168
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: overworking your trainees. It's certain things again for like mental health,

169
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: like if I like really like needed it, I would

170
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: I am entitled to like a therapist and like mental

171
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: health facilities and all these things. And like they're already

172
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: making steps towards this with I guess this end goal

173
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: in mind, but there wasn't a lot of ways for

174
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: this to be enforced. Like I said, it's just two

175
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: dudes in a basement with like four teenage boys. It's

176
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: like okay, like like okay, buddy, you're tired. Goal like

177
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: tell the police, I guess, and it's like, okay, Well,

178
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: this year we take an even bigger step. We put

179
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: this problem kind of into the the the front the

180
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: front view window. No, what is it? What is it?

181
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: This year we placed this problem back into the front

182
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: of our minds, and we tell the world that Hey,

183
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: this is a problem in K pop and we are

184
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: taking steps to resolve it. We're taking steps to protect

185
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: our young children, We're taking steps to protect entertainment workers

186
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: and idols. And it's about your rights and it's about

187
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: us respecting you as humans rather than just being these

188
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: little dolls that we can take advantage of. Because you

189
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: guys have a dream and you guys are going to

190
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: do anything to follow this dream. So that's amazing. And

191
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: former Team Top member on Minsu is facing backlash for

192
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: leading this idle union. He has past controversies that kind

193
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: of contradict these such things, but I think people come

194
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: around and it's like any voice that's speaking for justice,

195
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: any voice that's speaking for just rights, I guess should

196
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: be valid and should be considered. And if he has

197
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: certain things that kind of contradict what the movement represents,

198
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: maybe he's not the best face for it, but we

199
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: appreciate his support and if his contradictions are pointed out

200
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: and he can respectfully talk about those contradictions as also

201
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: an addition to the conversation for welfare, for rights for

202
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: the union, then great and it moves the conversation forward.

203
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: So thank you for putting yourself in that position. And yeah,

204
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: I think the union is amazing. I think it's such

205
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing to consider and put front facing and

206
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: to even have support of like real life. So this

207
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: is definitely another stuff forward and I'm I'm excited to

208
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: see where this goes. I love to be excited by things.

209
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: I was so excited by, for example, All Day Project.

210
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I was so happy about All Day Project.

211
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: I wanted All Day Project to do so well. I

212
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: stood behind All Day Project. I remember being like fourteen

213
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: fifteen years old and watching Bailey Sock videos and I'm like,
