 Eddie and I just finished filming. Here we are. Dance lesson? What did I say? Eddie, learning my dance. But we are gonna do a Q&A today but while we answer your questions, it's like almost 3 and I haven't eaten all day. So we're just gonna get some snacks at the convenience store and eat while we answer your questions. I'm just using it as an excuse to eat something yummy. Oh my gosh, they have like so many new snacks. What do you want? I love that. I love that. Sweet potato? Okay, what should we get? Well, you have to pick up some chips because I'm gonna use you as an excuse to eat some chips today. So I don't have that many choices here. Oh my god, trying this for the first time. Okay, so we asked you guys on Instagram to leave us some questions. So did you check yours for your questions? I figured I would just go at it randomly. Okay, well first, Edward gave me his cushion. Power K cushion. The donation cushion. Yeah, the donation cushion and I can't wait to try it because... I figured it would suit her because her skin is already so nice. No, it's not. Oh my god. No, I have like so much like acne scar and I keep breaking out of my... Oh no, that's good because it will heal it. I'm so excited to use it. The packaging is so awesome. Look at this huge box. So thank you. All right, and we got some snacks from the convenience stores. Guys, look at this. It's chupa chups, strawberry flavored sparkling drink. Are you kidding me? It's gonna be so sweet. I love it. I'm so excited. Korean Cheetos. Because I can't do hot cheetos. Oh really? Yeah, I can't eat. I feel like... Yeah, well not only are they kind of really salty. Yeah, but Joan loves it, but I'm just like... No. Yeah, and then she loves the spicy ruffles. I know, I'm obsessed with those, but I like my Korean chips. These are very sweet compared to the American ones. Corn soup flavored. And then we've got these ones that look like ultramole. Yeah, it's kind of girls looking. It's squid flavored. Before I eat this, I brought my eggs. I mean, I want to empty stomach. I don't want to put chips down like my throat for the first thing I'm eating. And I brought sweet potato from home. Do you eat the skin? No. I mean, I do usually when it's like cooked right after, but it was like in the fridge, so no. Okay, let's get into the questions. Thank you everyone for sending in your questions. Joan asked, is any a good dancer? No comment. I'm just kidding. No, he was really good. He got my dance down and I think the dance suits him well, so you better be dancing to it every time you hear the song. I do. Usually, that's why I try to learn the choreos because when I'm listening to a song, I kind of play the dance in my head. I love that piano part. Which part? The piano part, when the piano comes in before the chorus. Why are you talking about the process of writing that song? I didn't write the song. Well, I mean, like when you're recording to the demo, you know, like we have like a group of producers in our company. So I saw that picture. There's like three, four. Yeah, they wrote the song that would fit me. And yeah, that was here we are. Oh my gosh. That's the thumbnail. Oh my God. All right. Beautiful. Beautiful. What's it like? Is an idol to deal with negative comments or drama? Does someone else take care of that or do you read comments on your videos? Well, I'm sure all idols do. Well, not all of them do. I know some people, they try to stay away from it if they think like, yeah, just because you know, if you're confident that you don't let it get to you, then you can read it. But no, like in the beginning, when I first debuted, it really hurt me a lot. These days I just read it. I'm just like, huh, like there are some people who think this way or like say these things or just like, whatever. How about you? For me, I only, because usually the negative comments come like a day or two later after I post a video. So I only really look at the comments the first day because for me, it's not really so much like, oh my God, my feeling, it's more like like my personality. I tend to take negative comments. Like I'll joke about negative comments, but at the beginning, I react kind of heavily and I don't want that to happen because, oh, I'm kind of back a few years ago. I would heavily like, I would go on Snapchat and be like this person. That's really immature to be honest. So to prevent that from happening because I can only speak for myself, but you know, there are fans that would cause them to go after that person. I don't want to be responsible for that. So I would rather just like not see it. All right. They're curious like, how did we become friends? How do we meet? The first time I met you was before the Britney Spears concert, right? Yeah. Was that the first time we met in Hongdae when we went to that Thai restaurant or whatever? Remember with Coco and Tina? Oh, yeah. We met a gentle monster. I was like, oh, and here she is now grilling me about not a dance. I know. Who would have thought? Right. But yeah, that was the first time we met. So we met through mutual friends. So what was your first impression of me? Um, I feel like you were just like how it would imagine you would be because I knew you're from America. And I don't know, it's just from my experience meeting other like little girls that are like from America because to be more on the chill side, you're pretty much, you know, especially people from the East Coast, he's had to be more chill. I feel like you can tell people from the West are very like, oh my God. So you're just like, yeah. Yeah. No, you were very quiet when I first met you too. Because the thing is, even when I meet idols that I'm fans of, I get really quiet. Like I don't even want to talk to them. I'm just like, oh my God, they're so beautiful. They're so beautiful. And I don't go up to, I don't, you know, even when friends are like, no, go talk to her. I'm just like. First time that's why. Because I was fan of you from your debut. Oh my God. I can't believe that. But he knows our bad girl choreography. Very much. I learned that thing like within a week when that dance practice came, honey. Oh yeah. He said that was his favorite choreography from Ladies Good. And I think that was my favorite one too. You know when choreography is like catchy? And the song is catchy too. Yeah. What was that? It tastes, I don't know if you've ever had it. There's a Filipino snack that's like little, they look like, you know those big bottles of cheese balls? It looks like that, but it's just corn. And it literally just tastes like that. Just corn powder. I'm guessing that's a dance studio. How often do you both dance or both dance in K-pop dances? I don't dance. Only whenever I have to do my own choreography. Oh really? But that's like rarely. When do you never like make covers these days? I never do covers. I'll learn it at home, but in my head I'll learn it, but I don't actually do it. I'm in the like a practice room every day unless I have a schedule or unless I have like a music promotion, stuff I have to do, but I usually get dance lessons like two or three times a week, and then other times I just like practice on my own. What genre of dance do you usually practice when you're getting lessons? Like hip-hop, like girls hip-hop. What made you decide you wanted to go solo? By the way, your new song stole my wig. Oh, thank you. Wigsnatched. Wigsnatched. So at first I wanted to go solo, but my company was thinking about it and they gave me the option. Because any of you are one member to go solo as well? Sojung went solo first, and I mean it was always a dream of mine to go solo, but I just never thought I would get the opportunity, but they were like, oh, I feel like your concept fits the summer, so let's do the summer, come back solo for you, and I was like, oh my god, yay. 12. Because a lot of eyes don't get that opportunity. I know. If you could visit any era in time, which would you visit? In the 90s. You are from the 90s. Like visit a bath? No, that I've never, just say it. That I've never been to? Well, if you could visit any era in time and you choose 90s. It was a simple time. Why? What would you choose? Well, I don't know, if I could, I would live in the 50s. Oh, yeah, that would be fun too. Maybe. All my favorite actors and actresses, James Dean and Audrey, have their music that I like, especially Frank Sinatra. I just want to go back in time and live in that time when I could go see them live and drive through movie theaters, just milkboarding burgers and milkshakes cost 10 cents. What are some things that you do to prepare or are some things that you do to prepare for shows and concerts? Do you have any like pre-show like rituals? Well, I always have to, like dramatic, but does that action, like does that help your? That helps. And I always stretch too because I don't want to pull a muscle. There have been times when I start dancing on stage, but midway, I'm like, oh, muscle on my neck. Like, so it's really important to stretch before. Well, yeah. So like, like while we're performing live, like, I'll do a dance move and then my, like, my neck feels like it's being ripped off and I'm like, yeah, not fun at all. So, you gotta stretch in ways. All right, let me try this. First time ever. Oh, wow. It really does taste like a candy, but I don't really like the texture of it. It's like a little thick. Yeah. It's one thing you wouldn't know about each other at first glance, that you love kupchang. It's like my favorite food, but a lot of Koreans are surprised by that. I can't eat it. Right. That's the thing a lot of Koreans can eat a lot of force, definitely can eat. Apparently. No Korean ever said it. The question made the sense that literally if I don't know you, the advice you would give about learning Korean. Definitely surround yourself with as much Korean media as possible. I don't, I wouldn't rely too much on, like, books. That would be mostly for grammar, but to get like the natural right. So try to watch a lot of, like, TV shows, dramas. Have all like friends in real life. Right. I have to force myself to learn Korean just because I don't want to speak English with. Yeah. When is ladies coming back? Yes, you're so slazy. You look amazing. We're still rich, chill, very, like, I know, because it was like a part of our healing trilogy. So they, you know, wanted to go for more like a, that kind of vibe. Sorry, we had to switch to another camera because the other one got over here. This one's so much better. Try this. Oh, the orange one. How is it? It's like orange. Actually, no, it tastes more like fish. But look at this. This is so gross looking. People who have, what is that thing called? Try the phobia of the little circle stuff, which Sojung has. I'm going to get freaked out by this. How long? I like it. It's like sweet, but like kind of fishy at the same time. How long do you take for you to prepare for this combat? And why is it on apple music? Is it not on apple music? It is on apple music. It's on apple music. It's on Spotify. It's on iTunes. Is iTunes the same because Apple music? Pretty much. Oh, yeah. It's there. It's just that there are so many Ashley's that it's hard to find my profile. Like seriously. The long message is here we are with Ashley. Yeah, here we are, Ashley. You can find it. Well, we first recorded the song in April. I guess the whole prep took about like three months. Yeah, April, May, June. We filmed the music video on June 19th. Everything on Monday? Yeah, but from like 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Yeah, that's how I got this tan line. I was outdoors all day. Yeah, it was hard. Edward, what do you think of Ashley as an idol and what's your favorite song of hers? Love you two so much. I mean, you only have the area we already answered, No, at least code songs too included. Okay, back to the ladies' code song. Definitely. Why? Because it's just so catchy. I love that kind of like old school like. And did you not at brass session? Yeah, that too. Yeah, that's why I really like. So awesome. Yeah, I was reading a lot of comments of they're all like, oh my god, that song is just for a debut song. It's really good. We prepared it for like six months. Oh my god. I love the subway. The submarine. Oh yeah, submarine that came up for like zero five seconds. You know how long it took to fill up the water? You have to wait like six hours. Oh my god. But for Ashley, of course, here we are. What's the other part of the question? What do you think of Ashley as an idol? I think she's great. She can sing. She's pretty and she can dance. The thing is with a lot, like honestly, with a lot of idols, people would put them for one reason or another, whether it be just looks or they can do one thing like dance. But she's a simple thread. Thank you. I'll be honest with you. I was quite surprised at how well you sing because I always thought it'd be like the main dancer because I like honestly, I felt like you didn't get to showcase your singing singing voice as much as ladies code. You've got to really see here you're singing this song for me. I think one of the good like signs of like good, good singing, which is probably not, I don't know, like it's vibrato and she's got it. Thanks. If you were stranded on an island, what top three skincare or makeup products would you bring? Give me your beauty and skincare YouTuber. Troy Otaget oil cut cleanser because I can take my makeup off with that and use it as a cleanser. Oh wow. And then my makeup face stress zero toner. I need toner. Moisturizing toner for soup. Really? And then sunscreen. Yeah me too sunscreen and just a moisturizing cream. And then the last one I will probably bring a lip product, whether it's like tints because I look so dead without anything on my lips like when I don't have color on my lips. And if we're stranded on a deserted island, I'm pretty sure we're gonna get tanned and then my face is gonna be dark and then my lips are gonna be like pale. Yeah. What was the hardest part of the here we are choreography? Oh definitely the chorus part. Really? I mean because when I first learned it, it was a lot more steps than it is now. So the chorus was like yeah. So when I first learned it, I was like out of breath the whole time. I was like I can't do this. I can't do this on stage. Like how can I sing and dance to this at the same time? So you kind of reduce some moves and take some moves out. So now it's variable it's doable. It's still hard though. If you weren't doing what you're doing now what would you be doing? Probably be a video game designer. Really? I mean to video games like that. I was about to go to school for that but I didn't. So are you good at like designing stuff? I was very creative in school. You're still creative now. It's more like I get inspired by other things and I'll you know give my own little twist to it. So in that sense I'm creative but like thinking of things they really has to come to me. I mean I've always liked teaching even when I was in the States. Like I was like tutoring and I taught dance for a little bit and it was really fun for me. I was studying theater in college so maybe I might have pursued theater and acting in New York too. So what do you go to fashion or makeup items? For you it's just like a rest day for you and you're just gonna go out and meet a friend for a coffee. What's like your default like? Oversize t-shirt, high-waisted jeans and sneakers. Yeah that's like the most comfortable and my go-to. I love jean shorts and I love sneakers. So how about you? Same maybe not like high-waisted just like an oversight. Basically oh yeah there's t-shirt and shorts. Whenever I go out I see people dressed up like oh my god I feel so naked. But you look you look dressed up. This is dressed up. Like like you still look trendy you know what I mean? I try to keep the element of like at least not looking like it's just chamomile. Right right right right. So that's maybe my shoes or something but I like it because like what is it I'll perform with Aura or whatever. He dresses up to the night and I'm just like I swear like jeans and a shirt. So it's getting lazy. Um how about your go-to makeup? I think you kind of answered this earlier. You just need your tints. Yeah I need my lipstick. Yeah for me I think brows and foundation I'm okay. I just need concealer too. Must be nice. Milk or cereal first? Cereal first. Me too! Because when you pour the cereal just sits on top before it sinks. Yeah I hate that! It ends up overflowing too quickly. I just put a bunch of cereal on first and then I put the milk just enough. Did you like completely cover the top or until it's about to hit the surface? About to hit the surface yeah. I don't like too soupy stuff so. I mean do you ever do like the second round when you finish all the cereal? I do like seven rounds. But then the milk isn't as cold? I know but. Do you put more milk? Because the milk is sweet so I just add a little more. There's a cafe in Karosugir called Cafe in Cielo or something. Cielo like Skye because they have clouds in their cafe and they have a drink called Cielo Subtee and it literally tastes like cereal milk. That's why I always go there to get it. What? Oh my gosh. Can you shake me next time? Yes and it's called Ashetic. Ashetic. I think I might have passed by it once. I saw like clouds. Yeah it's probably that one. Who's the greater queen between the two of you? Her probably. I always thought I was like sassy but she is a whole other level. No I'm not. That's going to teach you dance. Oh can Edward do a dance cover of Here We Are. Well he learned it today so if you guys want to check it out go to his channel to watch our video. I'm still sweating over it. Learning Here We Are. He got the whole not the whole thing but he got half of it down in like an hour and a half so. It's Veronica said is it hard to maintain your weight? I know a lot of K-idols in general have to undergo insane diets to maintain. Well like me I don't do like insane stuff because I care about my body and I actually want to live a very long life that is my dream in life. I want to live till I see my grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-grandchildren, grandchildren so I want to live for as long as I can. I never like really starve myself or do anything unhealthy. I just try to eat healthy food um and work out on top of that and these days I mean I've been doing intermittent fasting for like the past two and a half months and I feel like that's really good for me too. I think she's never now that she'd be able to spoil that spoiler so but like treat yourself. Yeah I'm not even considered skinny in the k-pop world. I'm just like average but I like it like this. With quite tone it's really good especially for like your jacket photos and stuff. Oh yeah especially for this concept because it was supposed to be like a healthy sexy not just like a really thin. Yeah anyways what is something that both of you hope to accomplish in the future? Maybe it's like a world tour? You guys should go to KCON. I know hopefully next year. Oh and in a good word? Hopefully next year we will have like you know made a comeback with a few songs so we can go. I mean like I always dreamt of like going to KCON New York because I'm from New York. I don't know I think I will cry like when I see my family in the audience because my family members have never seen me on stage. It would be really special if I got to perform in front of them although I think I would be nervous. I'm like the type of person that like becomes more nervous when I know someone is in the audience. I'd rather have like strangers or people I don't know. Yeah I think it'll still be very you know meaningful. Yeah. How about you? How about you? Me um maybe do something like come out with like my own brand. I feel like YouTube is out there forever so I should move on to like maybe I love doing YouTube now but you know try some other new I guess is that new not really but I feel like it's the next logical step for me. It's gonna happen. It's hope so. It is. She knows for sure here I am. I didn't start yet Ashley. I know for sure but yeah anyways. Well thank you guys so much for the questions. Make sure you check out me suffering under Ashley's power as in her trying to teach me her here we are dance and uh yeah. And keep listening to here we are because summer's not over yet. It's not. It's gonna be a summer jam. Even in fall I feel like it's not over with this weather. Yeah in the fall and in winter you can listen to my other song Answer because that fits the way it does. Yeah it does. Yeah it does. All right so thank you everyone for the questions. See you guys in the next video. Bye bye.
