They discuss their upcoming second world tour, starting in Seoul in June and including stops in Asia and the US, with hopes to visit Europe. Minnie also talks about her collaboration with Anne-Marie on "Expectations," noting the challenge of matching her powerful vocals, and expresses a desire to work with artists like Troye Sivan.

And oh my gosh, I just still cannot believe that it happened. - It happened. It's real. - It happened. Yeah, it was, I had so much fun working with Anne-Marie. And it is quite challenging because the song is quite hot for me, to be honest. Like the first time I got the demo track was like Emory, she sings a whole song. And like the first time I heard the song, I was like, oh, it sounds like easy. Like just, just, just, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's like, powerful. - Effortlessly. - She's just like, using. And then when I have to sing, I was like, oh, it's harder than I thought. Oh my gosh. So I know that process. So I recorded like, I recorded it for like twice or three times. So yeah, satisfying. - Yeah, who else is on your list? Who's somebody you're like, I really want to work with you. Really want to collaborate. - I've always say on Trisivan. - Yes. - And also Trisivan. - Trisivan, okay. - Yeah, I'm a big fan. - Okay. - Trisivan and also super genius, key hand something. - Oh, so cute. Yeah, like both of us are super genius fans. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You're a big fan, some of them fan, right? - Yeah, and you're a big, no some of them. - No, yeah, yeah. - Right? - Oh. - All right, your favorite super genius song? - You know it's everything. - I try to study y'all this little. - I'm kind of scared. (laughing) - So actually super genius inspiring me a lot. So that's why I want to come, like want to go to Korea. - There were so, like K-pop. - Okay, Ugi, I'll see you. So tell me about yourself. How did you get to Korea? When did that happen? Obviously, super genius, a big influence. (laughing) Who else? I want to know all the things. - Okay, my turn. For me, I came to Korea when I was 18. - Uh-huh. - I is in Korean age, but actually internationally, I was 16. - Like 16? - In high school. And I just took part in a, like, grillable audition, - I'm in my hometown. - And then I get the, you know, some message from Q that I just come to Korean. And we're going to making, where I go, where I'm making a girl group. And if it comes to us, like we were, I would make you like to be in one year. So I listened to it and believe it. I came here. I came here. And I was like super fan of super junior too, because they were the, you know, thanks to them, actually, I, you know, knew about K-pop. - Mm-hmm. - So I always thought that if there is no super junior, there's no Ugi now. - Mm-hmm. - That's right, because I never, you know, interesting, you know, about K-pop, but after I know about him, them. So I just, you know, had a dream. And I'm like, oh, because, you know, my friends around me, like from very my childhood, they always tell me like, oh, Ugi, you're good at singing and good at dancing. Why you just try to become maybe a singer in the future. I never thought before because my parents, I worked very hard when I was in school. And I got a great score. - Right, it's good at studying. - Got it. - My mom's too. So I abandoned actually my school. Was the biggest, you know, decision in my life. - Yeah. - Scary. - Yeah, it's scary. - It's so big. - Yeah, because maybe one day, even though you came to Korea, maybe you can get fires on the field. - Yeah, maybe it doesn't work out. Maybe you don't have any. - Yeah, and I just gave up everything. So I was super scared at that time, but it was my first time like I told my parents why you guys just trust me for once. So I decided to come here.
and now dreams come true. - Oh, they are really super proud of me now. So I am a propel of myself. - That's awesome. - That's awesome. So they weren't, I mean, obviously they let you come but were they first not very supportive? - Yes. - I fight with them for about two weeks, cried every day. Like, are you sure? Are you sure? Yeah, you're really good. You know, your work is good and then you can go to, maybe you can go to a good university. - Yeah, I go into really a band in your school. - Yeah. - I was at, yeah. My mind was filled of like, I can be a singer and I can be, you know, as the same career as my idol because I was a super fan of super junior. So they just, they just worry about that. - Good job. - Good job. - Good job. I think you're good. - My case was kind of different. So I found the mom because my mom wants me to, she wanted me to be in Korea. - You're like, no. - Yeah, I've been in audition. Like, K-pop contacts me and I was like, oh, should I go? I just want to go to school. I just want to be my friends. And my mom was like, no. - Hey, you got the good chance. Like, you have to go. - I was pretty great. - I was like, okay, okay, let's just try. So my mom encouraged me a lot. - Yeah. - And she convinced me a lot. And I was like, okay, I will try. And then yeah, it happened. - That's awesome. Do you feel like your mom, you know, she's a muse, she's musical as well. - Yeah. - Did she have a dream of ever being like a performer or a singer? - Yes, I think she always have a dream too, you know, like musician, but she haven't made it. So that's why I think she wants me to like, okay. - That's awesome. - You have to pursue dream. - Well, now it's like, you make her proud. - Yeah. - And you also are doing great for yourself. - Yeah. - You know, that's awesome. - Thank you. - Thank you, Mommy. - Thank you, Mom. - Thank you, Mommy. - Thank you, Minnie's Mom.

Anyways, back to our show. - So Ugi, you're from Beijing. - Yes. - Born and raised there. - Yeah, yes. - What part of, I was in Beijing for a year. - Oh, I studied up Eda. - That's really a good university. - Oh. - But I was, yeah, I don't know how. Like. - Oh, really? - My Mandarin, so I didn't know any when I got there. - Buking, you used English there. - Yeah, so I used English, but I learned. But it was like Mandarin so hard. - Yeah, so hard. - So I'm not Chinese. I won't learn Chinese. (laughing) No, that's for Chinese. - Especially like, it's so dividing. - Yeah. - Do you speak, you speak some, right? - A little bit. - E-dandian. - E-dandian. - No, she's good. She's good at Chinese. - I, yeah. - But not these days. - But both of you are really good at languages. Clearly. - Yes. - So English. (laughing) - Yeah. - Yes. - I love how confident you guys are. - English is Korean. - Yes. - It's what Queen Car say. - Yeah. - Of course. - Of course. - Korean. - Mandarin. - Thai. - Thai. - A little bit of Japanese. - Yeah, a little bit of Japanese. That's a lot. - Yeah, that's a lot. - Do you ever get the mixed up all the time? - Sometimes. - Even until now. - Yeah. - Like when, you know, since we've been in Korea for like eight years, seven, eight years, our brain started to think in Korean. - Yeah. - So when we speak in English, it's kind of like, because the grammar, all the kids, yeah. - It's super different. - Yeah. - Sometimes it's different. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Change the position. - Our English is kind of like getting worse. But yeah. - We're trying our best. - You know, your English is great. We're having a full conversation. - Yeah, we just learned, just by studying, you know, me and me never, we'd never been aboard. We never attend to any international school. But we're in a good job doing good job. - Doing great. - Hey. - That was a high five. - Yes. - It was a high five. (laughing) - So you guys got here about eight years ago. - I can't imagine it was easy transitioning here. You talk about it a good bit in your mindset collection. - Thank you. - Check it out. - Yeah, check it out. (laughing) But like, what was like the hardest thing for y'all? When you think back in time, right? What was like the biggest culture shock? Or what was like one of the hardest things? Or was there ever a moment where you said something that was like the wrong word in the worst way? - Yeah, because Korean, it has a lot of like, handa, it's a world that came from like Chinese. - Right, right, right. - So I just mix them up a lot when at first time in Korea. But actually the, you were talking about the culture shock. It's super different from a thing from between China and Korea because in our country, the like, only thing that we would, we don't have this thing. So, and for me, my personality, I'm really, outgoing and I just see everybody as my friends. So I don't like like, oh, I have to listen to the sisters sometimes. So very first time, I just couldn't receive that because the Xingte team, they asked me to, you have to listen to Onni. - Onni. - Onni. - Oh, so why? Why I have to do it? Because I have my own personality. I'm moved. But why I have to? Because I, I, you know, living my home town for about 20 years. But now you come, you asked me to change it. Change it. I was, I know. - Yeah. - But now I'm getting used to it. So, so how time flies. - Yeah. - So I, - Do you have moments now where you have a dongsaeng? You're like, hey. - I never do that. - You don't do that? - I never do that. - Because everybody's chung. - Yes, everybody's chung. - Okay. - That's good. - I'm that kind of style. - That's good. - But it's, okay. - Listen to me in the bridge. - I'm kind of going there. (laughing) - Sorry. - I was like the first time I met him. He was like, I'm ony. Hello. - I'm trying to figure out how do we say "Gonde" in English. - Oh no. - What's "Gonde" in English? - It's like, - It's like old. - Old, old guys. - Old mind, old-fashioned. - A fashion. - Conspirative? I'm not not necessarily. - Conservative, boomer, old-fashioned. Maybe, some way that. - Yeah. - Just old people. - Sometimes I still feel like, I'm ony. Why don't you just, you know, let me go first or something like that. - Uh-huh. - You know. - Let me mention something. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is good for you?

He was like, "What's my name?" - What is it? - I don't remember. - Is it here? - I can't, I can see. - Oh, sorry. - Oh, oh, wait, okay, okay. I think I found it. Oh, Gan Pimo, I was right. - There you go. - His name is Charna, mine. - Oh really? - Gan Pimo. - Gan Pimo. - There's no guacun. - Same. - Same. - Okay, wait, so there are actually a good number of Thai artists in Korea, right? Obviously yourself. - Oh, thank you. - Bam. - Bam, bam. - Lisa, Lisa. - Yeah, I think I'm 10. - 10? - 10. - Yeah, he was here. - He was here. - Oh, I was so happy. - He was here. - He was here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you guys have a community or a group?

(laughing) Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're pretty close. - Yeah? - Yeah. - Why are you so close? - We're pretty close, but it's like, I think, Ben and Lisa's tan and like, soren, yeah, we're kind of in the, like, same age. - But, Nico no pa is kind of Somme, - Yeah. - Somme, so. (laughing) So, yeah. - It's a little bit far from the guy. - Yeah, a little bit far. I met him sometimes, but. - Yeah. - I mean, that's for, I mean, he's like, second generation. - Yeah, you guys are like, - I mean, like, third, fourth, fourth, fourth. - Third, fourth, that was something, yeah. - Yeah, so like, that's only natural. Do you guys, so you guys have like a group chat, sometimes you guys seem each other. - Yeah, I hate those, yeah, there's some times here. - Got it. What do you guys do when you hang out? Just like. - Just to see Typhoon sit chat. - What's the best Tyrestra in Seoul? - Oh, I've mentioned this a lot. And now it's like, the queue's so long. - Oh really? - I have to wait for like two hours to go there. - You can't just be like, I, I. - I call couple. - Couple. - Couple. - Very, very famous. - Where is it? - Yeah. - It's in Akkujang. - Couple. - Wait, somebody else told me that. - Yeah. - Who knows? - It's very famous. - Yeah, very hot place. - Got it. - All right, well, how we go? - I haven't been there for like so long since, you know, like everyone knows this place and like everyone's going to have to wait. - Two popular, I have to wait like two hours. - Got it. - Well, Ugi. - Yes. - What's your favorite Chinese restaurant? There's so many different types of things. - I hate those kinds of restaurants. - So it's very hard. - So many restaurants here. But I prefer like, maybe Kunde. - Oh yeah. - It's the most similar with the traditional Chinese food. Because the Chinese people, they own the stores. Most, so I recommend for Kunde. - That place. - Oh, sorry. - That place. - Second floor. - Oh, okay. - Oh, we have, we have one place that we have a room. - Already. - I've kind of private. - Every time, gather. - Yeah. - Call it like, but the name, okay, this is so crazy. - That place. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You told me after. - Yeah, I can. - You can go check it out. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. (upbeat music) - The reason you're actually here, is obviously you guys are a million salary, you guys are doing really well with Queen card, you guys are just killing it, going home, world tour. But on top of that, you have an English single. - Yeah. - That's a big city. - Yeah. (audience applauding) - Finally. - So this is your debut, English single? - Yeah. - Yes, very first. - As a group, right? - As a group. - How does this feel? - Just, you know, we wanted it so, so hard, you know, after we debuted because I really wanted a song, just for, you know, the American marketing. But this is our first time and the song is really good. - Yeah, it's our first time. - The song I do. - Yeah, named I do. And it's kind of general, is it? It's just a pop, or a pop. - Pop, thanks, pop. - Okay. - It's very new for us. - Never done like this style before. - It sounded good. I watched the video. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - It looks good. - Oh. - It sounds great. - A lot of like, you guys are aliens. - The music video is really fun, you know. This is, I never-- - Yeah, it's really fun. And I never act like an alien before. - Yeah. So in the music video, this story basically is about a girl. She's an alien. An alien girl who had a crash landing on Earth. And she met the guy, one guy. - Earth boy. - Oh yeah, he was in huge Earth boy. - And the point is that the girl, she changed her appearance and her personal, every time she sneezes. - Yes, that's why. - But yeah, so she's an angel or a character. - Yeah, so the girl was played by us. So like, from Ugi, when she sneezed, I've changed to me. - It's changed to me. - It was something. So, but so they were like getting along together and then kind of like develop their feelings. But after that, there's some opposition from like other people surrounding her. So she forced her to go back to another world. - Yeah, just her play. - It's kind of sad. - Boy, you guys should watch it. Everybody should watch it. - Yeah, yeah, it's really fun. - It was our first time acting. - Acting. - Like, an alien. - As an alien. - As an alien. (laughing) - You know, like we always, you know, I have like, the dance part of the choreo in our music video. - Right. - There wasn't any choreo. - There wasn't any choreo, just like, just a storyline. - Yeah. - A storyline and like, shoe I was crying. - Yeah, something. - Dance was the boy. - Yeah, so the first time debut as an actress. - Yeah, do you guys wanna act at all? Is that like, are you interested in that? Or are you right now, you're just like, I just wanted to get used to. - Yeah, I am. - Yeah, I am. - I don't know if you all could do it really well. - I said, I've debuted as an actress. - Yeah, oh yeah, you did. Oh yeah, what are we talking about? - Two years ago, hey, you did that out, right? - Yeah, I'm in a six, yeah. - Yeah. - So not worth it. Or later, you got my, but it's not, took Ketsuo in Korean. - Like, I was just talking about it. - It was a sitcom, comedy. How did you like that process? Did you like acting? - Yeah, I always wanted to try acting, but I never thought that I would have a chance to act in Korean. - Yeah. - Because I'm the big thing. - Right. - So it was a great experience. And yeah, maybe next time, if I have a chance, yeah, I still want to do it. - She really did a good job. - Yeah, amazing. Dream character, what would it be? - Dream character. I had to be for like actions, because I love actions, movies. It's like, actually, my dream is, you know, one day, if I can make it, I want to, you know, just shoot a movie with Transformers. Because this is my fit-right movie. - Transform Bumblebee is my boyfriend. - Yeah. (laughing) - I love it, Bumblebee. Yeah. I love it. Just, I have it for actions. - Yeah. - I feel like you could do it. - Yeah. - Yeah. And I feel like your personality, you're just like, "Babe, you up." - Yes! - Yes! - That's it. That's it. - Yeah. - Okay. - Are you looking for it? - Yeah, anybody's looking for an action star. - Yeah, I can't see. - Right here, Ugi is the future action star. - I'm here at Connect. - I can't stop. - Thank you. - Please, please. What is on your mind these days? Obviously, you guys are doing well. You have music, you're touring, you have all these things. What is the hot topic for you guys? What is like, you know, what is the big issue? The rest of the world, it's like AI. - AI. - Yeah. - Have you guys used AI at all yet? - No, but I, I, I, I mentioned, I just realized that, you know, AI is already around us because I, I noticed there's something called chat GPT. - Yeah. - Oh my god, that one is, - No, I never try. It's, it's, it's, it's scare me. - Okay. - It's, it's because he, I want to call him he because just act as a human. - As a human. - He can write songs, he can, you know, just do anything you want. He can remember the things that you said, said maybe 10 years ago. - Yeah. - You can remember everything. It's super scary. - So I never tried it. Did you try it? - I tried it. I actually use it a good amount because you can like ask it to do things and it doesn't really easily. Like, can you make me a list of like the top 10 things to do in soul? And it'll tell you all that, I was like, can you schedule it out into like three days and then I'll like break it down for you? - Oh my god. - So it does all these things. But one thing I tried is, can you write me an Eric Nam song? - Oh, I know. - She can, he can put, yeah, your voice into that song. - So, so pretty much what it does, it takes all the music that I have in the internet. - Uh huh. - And then it kind of takes like the theme and it writes lyrics like I would potentially do it as a human. - That's cool. - I know this is far. - But scary. - It's kind of weird, it's kind of scary. So, I thought maybe, what if we ask Chatsubi T to write a G-Idle song? - Oh my god, can we? - So, but give it a topic. What do you want the song to be about? Any topic? - To be about. - Yeah. - Human. - About being human. - About being human. - About being human. - What if AI writes about human? - Okay, so we're gonna say, - About about G-Idle? - About, we're gonna write a song in the style of G-Idle. - Uh huh. - About, blank, about humans or about. - Human being, about being, about love. - That's, yeah, maybe, about whatever. - Love is quite cliche. - Yeah, so give me something interesting. Human could be interesting. - Yeah, be about, let me think it. Or about AI. (laughing) - Very meta. - I wonder what they're thinking. - Maybe about what about, like, I love everything. - Future? - Something. - Future. He knows everything. (laughing) - Yeah, so I wonder, he really knows everything. - Maybe about, like, because I, G-Idle, we can, you know, write a song about hating ourselves, maybe this day. Maybe this one. Maybe he can roast a song about hating himself. - Oh. - Oh. - Okay. - So we're gonna do this because G-Idle doesn't do this. - Doesn't do it. - Because we can. - They can, but they don't, because they don't wanna do that. - I've never hate myself, you know. - So, we're gonna do what, see what Chatchee PT says. - Hit yourself, please. - We're gonna say, write a song in the style of G-Idle about self hate, self hate, about self hate.
- Okay. - Okay. Okay, so let's see what it pulls up. I'm actually really curious. - Yes, I'm, I'm, I'm, can we? - We're gonna pull it up on the screen. - Oh my gosh, really? - Yeah, watch, it says there goes, write me a song in the style of J.I.L. - I really don't love the style. - About the song. - So scared about that. - Okay, here we go. - And you can, you know, we can make some options to him too. Like I was came to, like, I want my lyrics more advantage. - You can do it, you can change it. - What if you write our new song? - Oh my god. - It's gonna lose our job. You know, one of the reasons I hate him. - We're losing our job. - I just, losing job about him because of it. - Wait, but you know what's really interesting is that because G.I.L. does not write about self hate. Look at the chorus. It says, no more self hate. I'll break these chains with every step I'll find my way. I'll rise about the phoenix in the flesh. - Yeah, it's cool. - The idol of me. I'll reclaim my life. That all right. - You gotta know more self hate. - What? I like it. - Jettel, me. - Jettel, me. - I'm reclaiming my life. - Through tears and struggles. - Oh my god. - I'll find my strength. - Yo. - What? Unraveling the layers, I'll go to any length. No more disguises. I'll let my true self shine. - Rhymes. - Oh. - Isn't that interesting? - Very interesting. - Very interesting. - Very interesting. - Very interesting. - Very interesting. - If you were to put a melody to that chorus, what would it be? - We can ask him to do the melody to it. - Whoa. - Now this one can't. We have to do, there's another, I'll show it to you later. - I love the options. - There's this one where you can put it into it and say make this like Beyonce, and it sings like Beyonce. - Yeah. - I watched that video, like someone, like ask that maybe you some artist voices into his song. - Yeah. - I was really nervous. - Oh my gosh, we're losing our job. - No, we're not, they can't. This cannot do us. - Okay, okay. - We can't do us. Except for we. - Just us, only us. - Just us. - All right. Well, don't worry, this is not the reason. - This is not the reason. - I'm impressed us now. - AI cannot replace us. - Yes, I can never. - As performers, as people. - Okay. - I think they can help us make these sometimes, but no. - Yes, but pretty cool. - Just be friends. (upbeat music) - All right, but using, not AI, but using Google Translate, we're gonna play one quick game before we start rapping. - Okay. - We've got lost age translation. - Lost age translation. - And what we're gonna do is we have songs. And it's gonna translate it. And we have to figure out what the song might be. - Okay, is it K-pop? - Probably. I'm really bad at this game. I'm really bad at lyrics. - Maybe we're good. - Yeah. - I feel like you guys are probably-- - That's not true. - Do I tell Leo Biel in low-level I know? I don't need no-man, chill-haj, mission, dog's-yaw-guang, ha, self-made woman. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Chamisban, yo. - Tom, Tom, Tom, don't hit me. - What? - Wait, who's that train's Leo? I heard self-made woman. - Yeah, yeah, self-made woman. - Tom boy? - Okay, here we go. - I think it's nude, right? - Nude, mika. (ding) - Whoa, whoa. - Why? - There's a-- - There's a word. - Um, self-made woman. - I know, Leo. - Yeah. - So young's part. - I don't need no-man. - Self-made woman. - Ah. - Ah. - Ah. - Oh, that's really hard. Okay. - That's really hard. - I can't stop from self-made woman. - Tom, okay. - Oh, it's so hard. - Tell me what you need a disease. Damal Haiba, but Sijajanilioch, hey, talk that talk. T-tag Han Maddie, talk that talk. L-o-v-e-e-du-li-o-jwo. - Ooh. - I know. - I know. - Oh, now? - Twice, talk that talk. - Yeah. - Ah. - Tell me what you want. Tell me what you need. - And say my love, Sijajanilioch. - Oh. - Oh. - Na na na na na. - Yeah. - Oh. - Hey, good job. - Good job. - Teamwork. Okay. Okay. Next one. - I said one and two and three, four. - Okay have fun!ela! - When did I do it? I can't remember. - Long time ago. - It's a thing is a long time. - It's a great song. I love this song. - It's a song. - It's a song. - It's a song. - It's a song. - It's a good song. - Great song. - One and two. - One and two. - Yes. - Yes. - Oh, okay. - Good job. Good job. - Easy game. - Already. Well, I know you guys are very busy. There's a lot of places that you have to go. So we'd love to hang out with you all more. I think we have to let you go. - Really? No! - It's okay. - We can talk more. - We just do it for 10 minutes. - Okay. We can talk more. - Yeah, we can talk more. - Let's go. - Okay. - We're really enjoying this. - Thank you. - Anything you want to talk about. - We can talk about anything. - To be honest, I just want to know how the audience, because we know each other very clear. - To be honest, what do you think of G.I.D.? - What do I think of G.I.D.? - Good question. - No. - Okay. What do you think about G.I.D.? - No, please. - No BS. - Yes. No, it's just no BS. - I think you guys are really cool. And I say that because even when you guys started debut, it's always like very sick. It felt very like strong. But every time the image was very good. I remember watching videos like, "Oh, I'm so sorry." - What? - What? - What? - What? - debut? - No, like every time. - Every time. - Every time. - I see you guys progressing every time. And I also feel like that you guys play a role where there are not a lot of people playing your role. Like you play in fashion, song, choreography, that's very unique to G.I.D.D.L. And I think part of that is because you guys produce a lot of your own stuff. And so there's a "du-dota-n-se-ka" of G.I.D.L. That's hard to explain in words. But when I look at you guys or when I hear stuff like, "Oh, that's G.I.D.L." - Thank you. - And I think for an artist, that is one of the biggest compliments to say, "I know what my music is." - Yeah. I think it's the best compliments. - Yeah. - So. - Anyway, that's what I think. - It's so sweet. - It's so sweet. - Well, I think I always look forward to what you guys release. Because even like "Dumb-D-Dumb-D" was so different from everything else you've had done. - We changed. - But even that, I remember really liking that song. Even though it was so different. But I was like, "Oh, this is because there's a uniqueness you'll have to your style and your obvious everything." - Oh, I think so. - Yeah. - That's the truth. - That's the truth. - Yeah, that's the truth. - That's the truth. - Yeah. We love to challenge new things, trying new concepts. - Yeah. - You know. Well, I have a question. You guys are fifth year now. - Yeah. - Yeah. - But you're both still so young. All of you are still very young. - Not young. - I mean, comparing you and the other groups. - In this comparison. - Compared to other groups, we're quite old. - I guess when you compare to rookies. - Rookies. - Yeah, comparing to rookies. - Brand new rookies. You are older and you're more experienced. - I'm 10 years older. - Okay. - So it's quite old. - That's quite a lot. - That means I'm like. - So that's. - I'm three years older than two years old. - We're not gonna mention things. - You know, you've missed that. - Hey. - No, we both. - Okay. - No, we're 19 forever. - Forever. - But like. - Forever. - Forever young. - Forever young. - But I feel like, don't you. When I debuted, I still remember being like. - When did you debut? I'm just. - 20. - 30? - Oh, 23? - Yeah. - It was official. - Oh, it's not that. - Yeah. - My. - My first TV show was 2011. - Uh-huh. - And then album debut was 2013. - Oh. - So. - I first saw you on. - After school club. - After school club. - When it was in Thailand. - Oh, really? - Yeah. - We know. It was the only program that we could understand. - Really? - Because it wasn't English. - Got it. - Yeah, so I was like, "Oh, this is this MC Eric now." - It was really 10 years ago, right? - Wait, that's 10 years ago. That started 10 years ago. - Yeah, I like it so much. - That's. Well, thank you. Thank you. - Yeah. - I haven't. - That's a fly. - I'm showing some. But obviously, there's so much more that you have to do. - Mm-hmm. - That you want to do. - Yeah. - You stop jadal. You still. You want to try acting. You have acted. What else do you want to do? Like, what's something that you want to also like. You were saying you have goals. You did a million salary. You. Going on tour. You're playing shows at hometown. What are like the other big goals that you really want to do? I feel like you've already done something.
so much. It's like, um, we always, we always stream big. So the next step would be like something bigger. Maybe it's too me. Like, who knows? They're smelling you say, yeah, who knows? It's possible. Who knows? They'd like it. I don't know who knows. Yeah, but one of our goals is, you know, just, um, to be me, personal, to be with them, to be with J.I.O.D.O. as long as possible. Yeah. Until we get older. Yeah. Yeah. Until you turn 20. Yeah, actually, you know, 30, 40. Yeah. This is one of me. I get all, but we're still, we're still, we will be G.I.D.O. I do. Yeah. We've been in this break yet. Oh, we still be I do. I do. I do. Actually, in our career, I think it's really short because everyone has their highlight in their lives, so about 20s, but an as in group, I think it's hard to, you know, keep it because we have a lot of, you know, somebody, we, we see them like, so one of the reason I love Spurt River is there is Steve together. Right. And really very close with each other. So, you know, as in G.I.D.O. member, I really want, you know, just keep our group alive. And we're just assist us long as we can. I think it's a big go. It sounds like easy, but it's the hardest one. I think you know, just stick together. Yeah. It's a lot of things do G.I.D.O. forever. G.I.D.O. forever. Never die. Never die. For every day. Any, any vacation plans, I know you guys are busy. If you could do anything with vacation, what would you do? Oh, oh, I want to sleep. I want to sleep. I want to sleep like the whole day, like 20 hours. One of my goals, you know, take my parents and travel around the world. Because, you know, when I was young, I think I have to earn a lot of money first. And then I can, you know, just buy the things they want to buy and just, you know, do my huddle to them. But, you know, now this is I'm changing. I think because, you know, life is short, you know, you don't know what is going to happen. So, I'm, if I once I got time, I would just take them to, you know, to my place and just get them be surrounded by me. Yeah. The thing is, it's a really my- You just want to spend time with them. Yeah. As much as I can. Yeah. Yeah. Spending time with family. Family. This is a big deal. Yeah. Well, they're telling us we have to end. Yeah. Time flies. Yeah. I thought it was like 10 minutes. Maybe EP2. Oh, yeah, maybe one second episode. Oh, it's two. We can do it. You guys should come on next time. But anyways, mini-Ugi, thank you so much. You guys have been so, like, such good energy.
