Have you ever ever made something that he is made?
Dita: I did. It was a tough one and took me virtually two weeks. I used his sourdough recipe and it labored nicely, however now my sourdough starter is lifeless [Minji and Jinny laugh] so I’ve to start out it once more. However I used his recipe. Thanks, Joshua, should you’re studying!
Did the remainder of you attempt her sourdough?

Perhaps she’ll make it for all of you, should you’re fortunate!

I watch all our performances, response movies, and covers from followers.
Once I undergo our “Secret Tour” movies, I monitor how we will enhance in making the present smoother. Minji and I watch it within the automobile on our method again house from taking pictures it, really. From transitions and reactions to interactions with the visitors, we watch to get the suggestions of “Oh, possibly we should always have executed this” or “Let’s do this subsequent time.”
Magnificence YouTubers
PONY Syndrome has been round for a very long time, she’s like an OG YouTuber. Inform me about why you watch her.
Dita: Make-up is a passion of mine, and I watch plenty of PONY’s movies as a result of she is in Korea and plenty of the merchandise that she makes use of, I take advantage of too. Once I lived within the U.S., I would watch plenty of American YouTuber make-up movies as a result of I might get these merchandise. So now that I am dwelling in Korea I attempt to discover extra Korean magnificence YouTubers so I can discover and use the merchandise they use.
Minji: I watch plenty of Risa Bae.(opens in a new tab)
Do you ever check out the identical appears to be like they do, or is it simply good to look at?

Cat clips

Would you ever have a cat within the dorm?

You may have some canine folks within the group?
[Dita raises hand]
Jinny: They’re all canine folks, apart from Soodam and Minji — they’ve cats, too.
It looks as if it is three-on-three, such as you guys are at warfare. I used to be speaking to Fifty Fifty the opposite day about getting a pet for his or her dorm and I mentioned, “You need to get one thing you all agree on,” like a fish or a parrot!

They’re very loud, although.
Jinny: Yeah they are loud.
South Korean skit channels
Soodam: I really like watching Korean skit channels, like Deep. They’re based mostly on how folks would act otherwise in a given scenario. Skit channels are fairly well-liked in Korea as a result of lots of people can relate to them. I am simply amazed at their concepts, how they will provide you with this skit and the way they will act out a given scenario. Another skit I like(opens in a new tab) is about previous {couples}, you understand how somebody would act if that they had been with an individual for an extended, very long time, their change in angle in the direction of one another in that relationship.
Zuu: I like two channels much like Soodam’s: mimgorithm(opens in a new tab) and she(opens in a new tab). They’re hilarious, and I relate to them a lot. Whereas I watch I am like, “Oh! I simply had this sort of dialog or scenario with my band members or my very own siblings or household.” It’s extremely relatable.
Soodam: Typically parts of MBTI are blended into a few of the skits, like how a “P” particular person may act this manner or an “F” particular person would suppose like this. To see the variations from a 3rd particular person’s standpoint may be very fascinating. Léa is absolutely into MBTI exams.
Léa: I really like all kinds of character exams, however I am most interested by different folks’s MBTI and the way they’ll react and what they consider in a given scenario. In our group chat I ship messages like “what do you consider this MBTI’s perspective, do you agree?” [All laugh and nod] And if my members do not react to that, I might get unhappy. That is how I’m.
Zuu: The most important perk of understanding one another’s MBTI for us is that we will relate to one another higher, as a result of we all know one another’s character. After we are attempting to say one thing to one another, we all know how every particular person goes to react. Our MBTI sorts are very correct, so it’s extremely straightforward to know what to say, what to not say, and the way to really phrase it for one another.
Artistic inspiration
Léa: One factor I am actually fascinated about is the universe, issues past something that I’ve ever skilled. I am at all times intrigued to know extra about them. This channel known as Owl’s Review(opens in a new tab) talks in regards to the universe, amongst different subjects. In a single video I bear in mind, they have been speaking in regards to the human eye because the Earth. And that made me suppose, like, we live on planet Earth. But when we consider the Earth as a human being, we’re type of dwelling in that particular person. The Earth is alive similar to we’re. So I really like imagining, “If we, on Earth, reside in one other human being, what if there’s one other human being dwelling inside us?”
Wow Léa! That makes my mind harm. Jinny is over there watching cat movies, and also you’re fascinated about philosophy and physics.
Léa: I additionally love taking a look at vacationer spots all all over the world, so at any time when I see an excellent one I’ll often bookmark or save the publish after which think about touring round to these spots at some point. One account I like, travel_behappyhere(opens in a new tab), focuses on Korean vacationer spots and introduces the locations that you must go to if you go to.
Is there a spot you latterly noticed that actually made you go, “Wow!” Perhaps some place you may go to when Secret Quantity goes on tour sooner or later?
Léa: There’s an island known as Miyako in Japan, and it is very fairly. Its surroundings is gorgeous. I feel it might be wonderful to go to to shoot a music video at some point.
Minji, you shared a summer pop playlist(opens in a new tab) with us.
Minji: As a result of I write music, I do not actively look out for sure genres or songs. I wish to discover as many genres and types as doable with out really in search of them. So I really like listening to playlists as a result of you may uncover new music you’ve got by no means even heard of, and it is a great way to refresh what you are listening to. I prefer to play it within the background to discover new types of music.
Are you able to inform us extra about your songwriting?
Minji: I have not participated within the songwriting for this upcoming single, however I participated in “Hola” from our Doomchita album. And truly, my first self-written track(opens in a new tab) was fortunately chosen as the unique soundtrack for a drama, which meant different nice artists carried out my tune. [It] was an important honor for me. And likewise, I wrote two songs that a tremendous Japanese artist, Kawaguchi Yurina, performed(opens in a new tab). I have not participated in writing plenty of Secret Quantity songs, however I’ve always written for others.
Jinny: I have been capable of contribute in writing songs for Secret Quantity ever since debut, and I hope to proceed to. I might like to work with Minji on our personal group tune, too.
Zuu: I am always practising and making up choreography. I wish to be extra concerned, personally, and I do know I’ve much more to be taught, however I hope sometime I can take part in creating level choreography for our personal tune. That may be actually cool.
I might like to see all of that occur for you. Administration people within the room, trace trace! What else has been inspiring you latterly?
Minji: I really like watching a present known as You Quiz on the Block. It is an interview present that invitations folks of varied occupations, each celebrities and non-celebrities, to share recommendation on how they dwell their life, what they’ve realized from life, issues like that. It is a very comforting, very heat present to look at.
One of many issues that stood out to me from a recent episode with actor Kim Woobin(opens in a new tab) is that he mentioned, “If you find yourself dwelling day by day life, it’s extremely uncommon to lookup on the sky deliberately.” And that made me suppose “Wow, I have not actually appeared up on the sky fairly often, not even as soon as a day.” One other factor he mentioned that was memorable was that when he made the profession transition from modeling to appearing, he wrote about what he was grateful for day by day, which actually impressed and impressed me. Remembering what you are grateful for is essential.
Have you ever began writing down what you are grateful for day by day?
Minji: I’ll write about right now’s interview, I’m very grateful for you.
