i wasn’t able to post this last night during chinchin because i hit the tweet limit (fck el0n), but taerae asked jay b to greet the listeners, who are now called kkulchin (honey friends), and jay b pointed out that the way they address them has changed. he probably remembers youngjae calling the listeners “soulmates.” this is so sad 😭
89. Youngjae complained that his phone seemed to be freezing. A fan suggested that he might need a new one.
Youngjae then told a story about something that happened at the gym. He was using a shoulder exercise machine, and as usual, he had placed his phone in the middle of the equipment. However, it turned out he had placed it a little too close to the moving parts.
When he pulled the machine, one of its moving components came down and crushed his phone. His phone actually bent.
Fortunately, the screen protector saved it. The tempered glass cracked with a loud crunching sound but the phone itself survived, although it was slightly bent. It was still working fine.
Youngjae said this experience made him realize just how important screen protectors are. He explained that he had discovered this particular screen protector through an Instagram advertisement and decided to order it.
It was a tempered glass screen protector and surprisingly, it turned out to be really good. He thought the brand was called something like "Monster.." but he couldn't remember the exact name.
90. Youngjae said his current phone was some version of the iPhone 17. He doesn't like changing phones frequently and wants to use his phone for as long as possible. He also feels that replacing a phone is a waste of money because smartphones are so expensive these days.
91. A fan said, "Your laughter will give me the strength to go to work" Youngjae asked, "Do you have to work tomorrow? Fighting!"
(After this, Jaebeom joined the Space. I'll skip the part where Youngjae talked with Jaebeom, since that conversation will be translated in a separate post.)
92. After Jaebeom left the Space, Youngjae talked about him.
He said today had been really fun and having Jaebeom there made things entertaining in a different way. He described Jaebeom as a kind person who has always taken good care of them.
Youngjae explained that although he often teases Jaebeom jokingly, there are actually quite a lot of his genuine feelings mixed into those jokes. Even when Youngjae says things like that, Jaebeom always plays along and responds to his jokes. Both of them are grateful to each other.
Youngjae acknowledged that he has his own shortcomings and Jaebeom is someone who helps him work through or make up for the things he lacks. They support and complement each other.
He emphasized that it isn't always Jaebeom who is wrong or at fault. Youngjae knows that he himself has flaws too and both of them have strengths that help make up for each other's weaknesses in many ways.
Youngjae said Jaebeom has always taken really good care of him behind the scenes, in ways that fans might not get to see. And it isn't just Youngjae whom Jaebeom looks after but he also takes good care of the other GOT7 members. Youngjae emphasized that this is genuinely true.
He ended by saying that today had been so much fun. The conversation made him reflect on many things, and he felt really good about it.
93. Youngjae said he had actually mentioned this on Instagram before but after watching The Weeknd's concert, he felt an overwhelming desire to perform on stage again. He really, really wants to perform. The experience made him feel that he should have even stronger ambition, passion and determination than he currently does.
94. A fan asked Youngjae to add them as a friend on Pokémon GO. Youngjae reacted, "Who is this?" and said, "We can't do that"
95. Youngjae said he was looking for a good opportunity to sneak off to bed because he was starting to feel sleepy. Before ending the Space, he thanked everyone for staying and having fun chatting with him until the very end and then he said goodbye.
Ps. Part 2, featuring the 2Jae conversation, will be coming tomorrow, along with the English version. This translator has officially run out of energy!

23.10.2026: English Trans - Youngjae’s Space with Jaebeom Part @ChoiArs_YJ@defjaybkr
1. Things got off to a chaotic start because Youngjae was trying to invite Jaebeom to join the Space, but he couldn’t find him. Since Youngjae’s phone was set to Japanese, he was worried that he might accidentally press the wrong button and invite someone else instead. He couldn’t remember which button he was supposed to press either. He kept complaining, “Did I press something wrong? Did I accidentally block you, hyung? Did I kick you out? But I can still see you on the listener list! Where did Jaebeom hyung’s name go? Something must have gone wrong!” He struggled with it for quite a while, but eventually managed to bring Jaebeom into the Space!
2. And as soon as Jaebeom joined, their conversation started like this:
🌴: Youngjae san
🌙: Hi
🌴: Nani ga suki? Choco-minto yori mo anata. (What do you like? I like you more than mint chocolate)
🌙: Should I kick Jaebeom hyung out of the Space? Should I? I’ll put it up for a vote.
🌴: (Bursts out laughing)
3. Youngjae asked Jaebeom what he was doing. Jaebeom replied that he had just finished practicing and had only just arrived home. Youngjae asked, “Really? When are you doing it, hyung?” Jaebeom was a little confused by the question, so Youngjae explained that he was asking because Jaebeom had mentioned practicing. Jaebeom said he didn’t have anything else planned apart from his upcoming album.
4. Youngjae asked Jaebeom when his album would be released. Jaebeom replied, “When you’re ready to listen to it.” Youngjae immediately said, “Then I guess it’s never going to come out, because I’m not ready yet.” Jaebeom whined in a cute voice, “That’s so mean.” Youngjae then said in Japanese, “Yes, I’m a handsome guy. Is Jaebeom san handsome too?” Jaebeom replied, “No, he isn’t.” Youngjae said, “That’s what I think too.” Jaebeom shot back, “Don’t get too carried away.” Youngjae replied, “I’m sorry.”
5. Youngjae told Jaebeom to study Japanese more seriously, asking if he still hadn’t really started learning much Japanese yet. He also complained a little about how exhausting studying Japanese could be. Jaebeom agreed, saying that it really wasn’t good to be like that and that Japanese was quite difficult.
6. An Ahgase sent a comment saying, “Don’t leave Ahgases out of the conversation.” Jaebeom apologized, saying, “I’m sorry.”
7. Youngjae asked Jaebeom what he was going to do tomorrow. Jaebeom replied, “I’ll probably just wash my feet and go to bed.” Youngjae sighed and said, “No, that’s not what I meant. I mean, what time do you wake up and things like that?” Jaebeom replied that he usually wakes up at around 10 AM. Youngjae was surprised and asked, “You wake up that early, hyung?” Jaebeom said yes and decided to introduce his morning routine to everyone on Youngjae’s Space.
- He opens his eyes and wakes up in the morning, then makes his bed. (Youngjae commented that Jaebeom seemed like the kind of person who would naturally do that anyway.)
-He opens the window and tidies up his bedding. Lately, Jaebeom has also been drinking salt water. He mixes salt into warm water and drinks it on an empty stomach. (Youngjae said he had only heard of people drinking lemon juice mixed with olive oil. Jaebeom explained that he drinks salt water for his health and rinses his mouth with plain water afterward.)
- He makes himself some coffee. (Youngjae commented, “Drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the morning is kind of...”)
=- He goes back into his room, sits by the window, and reads a book for about 10–30 minutes.
- Once he finishes, he starts his day, which might involve going to the company or working on music.
8. Youngjae asked Jaebeom what books he was currently reading. Jaebeom said he was reading several books, including a classic novel titled 인간의 굴레에서 (Of Human Bondage).
9. Youngjae told Jaebeom that he had only recently started reading books and found it really difficult. Jaebeom asked what he was reading, teasing him by asking, “Are you reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone or something like that?” Youngjae replied that he wasn’t reading anything strange. He was reading a book called 싫어하는 사람을 사라지게 하는 방법 (How to Make Someone You Dislike Disappear). Jaebeom said the title sounded a little dangerous. Youngjae immediately defended the book, saying it was actually a really good book and that he wanted Jaebeom to try reading it. He insisted that there was nothing strange about it at all, although he added that, come to think of it, there probably weren’t any strange books anyway.
10. After hearing that Youngjae was reading How to Make Someone You Dislike Disappear, Jaebeom jokingly asked, “You’re not sharpening a knife or anything, are you?” Youngjae denied it. Jaebeom continued, “The world is already scary enough these days. Don’t go doing anything like that.” Youngjae replied, “I’m not that kind of person. I’m completely on the side of good.” Jaebeom reminded him that he was the one who said he was reading a book about making people he disliked disappear. Youngjae told him to just try reading it first because it was genuinely a great book. He explained that there was nothing wrong with it and that, after all, there was probably no such thing as a bad book. He went on to explain that the book was actually about managing and controlling yourself, not anything like what Jaebeom was imagining.
11. Someone commented, “Jaebeom, be careful!” implying that Youngjae might make him disappear. Jaebeom replied, “Right? Youngjae might actually make me angry.” Youngjae immediately reassured him, “I wouldn’t do that to you, hyung.”
12. Youngjae asked Jaebeom whether he went boxing regularly, which days he usually went, and how often he trained. Jaebeom explained that he arranges his boxing sessions with the gym depending on his schedule. Sometimes, when he’s too busy, he can’t go at all. But normally, he goes about once or twice a week.
13. Youngjae said the workouts sounded exhausting. Jaebeom replied, “Of course they’re exhausting! It’s exercise!” Youngjae commented that Jaebeom must have lost a lot of weight from doing it. Jaebeom agreed. They also talked about intense workouts like Hyrox. Youngjae said he didn’t think he could handle the kind of exercise Jaebeom was doing because it looked incredibly tiring.
14. Jaebeom said that his current physical condition couldn’t compare to Youngjae’s. However, Youngjae disagreed, saying that he currently felt very sluggish and that his body wasn’t moving as freely as he wanted. He was trying to lose weight, and losing weight was seriously exhausting.
15. Youngjae asked Jaebeom if he had any schedules tomorrow. Jaebeom said he didn’t, although he did have an exercise session planned. Youngjae said that was good because at least Jaebeom would have some time to rest. He told him to make sure he got enough rest. Jaebeom then reminded Youngjae to take good care of his health too.
16. Youngjae jokingly told Jaebeom that he was so healthy these days that it had almost become a problem. He felt like it would be okay if he were just a little less healthy. Jaebeom mentioned that he had recently been sick and warned Youngjae to be careful of the flu too. Youngjae confidently replied, “I’ll be fine! Something like that? I’m ready to face it head on! The flu? Come on in. Bring it on!”
17. Because Youngjae’s voice sounded a little echoey, Jaebeom asked whether he was talking from a bathroom. Youngjae said no, explaining that his soundproof room was just a little spacious. Jaebeom wondered whether something might be wrong with the room’s soundproofing. Youngjae apologized and said there was nothing wrong. Jaebeom then agreed that having a spacious workroom was a good thing anyway.
18. Jaebeom asked Youngjae what his daily routine was like these days. Youngjae explained that he goes to work by 9 AM, does whatever tasks he has been assigned, and eats lunch when his lunch break comes around. If someone offers to treat him to lunch, he simply follows them.
19. Jaebeom teased Youngjae, saying, “But shouldn’t you be the one treating other people to meals by now?” Youngjae explained that there was someone at work who held a position below his, and that he used to treat that person to meals occasionally. However, everyone was busy these days, and some people preferred eating alone, so they didn’t always eat together. Instead, Youngjae often joined the other staff members or his superiors for lunch. When they asked him to go eat together, he would simply say, “Thank you!” and happily follow along.
20. Jaebeom asked Youngjae what he usually did on weekends. Youngjae replied, “Well, I’m doing something like this right now.” referring to hosting the Space. He said he was really happy and was having so much fun. He was grateful that he could at least do things like this now and communicate with everyone again. He thought it was wonderful.
21. Jaebeom praised Youngjae, saying, “You’re living your life so diligently. It’s really nice to see. I’m working hard and living diligently too.” Youngjae replied, “You’ve been living really diligently too, hyung. You’ve genuinely worked hard all this time.” Jaebeom responded, “Of course I have.”
22. Youngjae mentioned that a video of Jaebeom had suddenly appeared on his Instagram feed recently. It was a scene from Dream High 2 where Jaebeom was playing basketball with Jinwoon. After watching it, Youngjae sent Jaebeom a DM on Instagram saying, “Hyung, you’ve really worked so hard throughout your life.” Jaebeom proudly declared, “I’ve truly lived my life working very hard, everyone.”
23. Jaebeom explained that the scene wasn’t actually about a basketball competition. It was a scene where he was supposed to act mischievously and annoy Jinwoon.
24. Youngjae mentioned that someone had asked whether he and Jaebeom didn’t get along. Youngjae immediately replied, “Of course we get along! How could we possibly not get along? If we really didn’t get along, Jaebeom hyung wouldn’t have joined my Space in the first place!” And just like that, the rumors about the two not getting along were shut down in 3 seconds.
25. Youngjae asked Jaebeom what he had been up to lately. Then he mentioned that Jaebeom would probably start getting busy soon, so they should meet up after he finished what he needed to do. Jaebeom agreed and said he would find an opportunity to visit Youngjae. Youngjae replied, “You can come anytime, hyung.”
26. Someone commented that Jaebeom looked pretty good in Dream High, but GOT7 also had another drama called Dream Knight. Youngjae said it had been a very long time since he last watched it. Jaebeom said it had been a long time for him too.
27. Youngjae shared a behind the scenes story about filming Dream Knight. He said that he had never learned acting before back then. Although being cast in the drama was a wonderful opportunity, he felt as though he was about to create an embarrassing chapter in his own history. He didn’t know how to act at all, yet he suddenly had to do something like that. At the time, he genuinely felt frustrated and kept wondering why he had been made to do something he had no experience with.
Jaebeom comforted him, saying, “No, we actually did well back then.” Youngjae agreed that everyone had tried their best, but he felt that they had been thrown into something they had never really prepared for. Jaebeom reassured him, saying that it was difficult to explain, but the problem wasn’t their acting. It was just that the storyline itself was a little cheesy and embarrassing. They had all done their absolute best. Youngjae agreed, saying that everyone really did work hard. However, what had troubled him at the time was wondering whether someone like him, who knew absolutely nothing about acting, should really have been doing something like that in the first place.
28. Jaebeom said he had felt the same way while filming Dream High. Whether it was the Heartbreaker scene or the basketball scene, he simply did whatever he was instructed to do. He followed what the people around him taught him and tried his best to carry out whatever had been prepared for him.
29. Youngjae said, “We really have lived our lives working hard. Let’s work even harder from now on.” Jaebeom agreed, saying, “Of course! We have to keep living diligently no matter what.” Youngjae concluded, “That’s right. We have to keep doing our absolute best in life.”
30. Youngjae explained that his everyday life had become very repetitive. He kept doing the same things over and over, so there weren’t many exciting or interesting new things happening. Jaebeom said he understood. He pointed out that the experiences they had gone through together in the past were things they could still talk about and share with each other. Because of that, he understood exactly how Youngjae felt.
31. Youngjae said that because every day was so repetitive, whenever he came to talk to Ahgases, he would wonder, “Wait, I don’t really have any new stories to tell. What should I talk about? Should I just tell them what happened to me recently?” Jaebeom reassured him, saying, “Ahgases like everything you do. No matter what you do, they love it! You know that, right? There’s even that thing about telling them to only love us, remember?”
Youngjae then teased Jaebeom, saying that he thought Jaebeom had made a little mistake with that particular situation. (This was probably a reference to the Coming Home concert, when Jaebeom told fans that it was okay for them to like other groups too.) Jaebeom explained, “I didn’t mean it in a bad way. You know that.” Youngjae replied, “I was only joking too. I didn’t mean anything bad by it. I know what you meant.” Jaebeom then said that he had changed his way of thinking quite a lot over time and had learned many things from the other members. Youngjae replied that they would continue helping to correct and guide one another.
32. Jaebeom said he had learned a lot about having the right mindset as an idol and that it was something he needed to keep working on. Youngjae added, “We’ll continue to help correct Jaebeom hyung whenever necessary. Besides, we already love each other. It’s because we care about and love each other that we can say these things. If we didn’t care about one another, we wouldn’t bother saying anything. Whether the other person did well or made a mistake, we simply wouldn’t care.” Jaebeom agreed, saying that was exactly how it was.
33. Fans once again commented that Youngjae and Jaebeom seemed to be having a conversation just between themselves, leaving Ahgases out of it. Hahaha! Youngjae asked Jaebeom whether he had any new updates or interesting stories to share with everyone. Youngjae then talked about his own day, saying, “Today I exercised, then exercised some more, and then exercised again. All I did was exercise.”
34. Someone asked Jaebeom about only beginning to develop the right idol mindset at the age of 34 and whether it was still possible. Jaebeom said that even at 34, a person could still learn and improve their mindset as an idol. Youngjae immediately corrected him, saying that wasn’t quite the right way to respond. He should say something like, “I’m sorry. Although I may be a little late, I’ll do my absolute best to improve from now on.” Jaebeom agreed to try again, and Youngjae said, “Okay, let’s try one more time. You’ve installed the new patch now, right? Go ahead and try again.”
Jaebeom then tried again, saying, “Even though I’m only starting now, I’ll work hard to improve my mindset and do better from now on.” Youngjae instructed him to add, “I’ll continue moving forward and improving myself.” Jaebeom followed along and added, “I’ll keep moving forward because the road ahead of us hasn’t come to an end yet. I’ll do my best. Fighting!”
35. Youngjae told Jaebeom that he should continue making improvements little by little. He also reminded him that if he suddenly said something that sounded strange or disrupted the atmosphere, he needed to correct himself immediately. Jaebeom obediently said he understood. Youngjae continued his lesson, explaining that all these experiences were beneficial because they allowed them to learn and grow.
36. When Youngjae asked Jaebeom if there was anything else he wanted to say, Jaebeom replied, “First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who helped me learn something important again today. I’ll continue working hard to improve myself.” Youngjae reassured him, saying, “It’s okay, hyung. You’re already doing very well. At this level, you’re doing great. I’m very satisfied.”
37. Youngjae asked Jaebeom if he was starting to feel tired and what time he normally went to bed. Jaebeom said he was planning to take a shower and go straight to sleep. Youngjae commented that Jaebeom went to bed really early and thought he used to stay up later. Jaebeom explained that he didn’t have anything else to do anyway. He had always gone to bed early, even in the past, because sleeping was his favorite thing. He felt the happiest when he was asleep.
38. Youngjae told Jaebeom to make sure he got a good night’s sleep. Jaebeom admitted that he didn’t sleep very well. Youngjae said he already knew that. Jaebeom explained that he usually needed some kind of help to fall asleep. Youngjae then offered, “In that case, should I call you separately later and sing you a lullaby?” Jaebeom declined, but Youngjae insisted that he could sing softly for him. Jaebeom then jokingly sang a lullaby in a raspy voice. The conversation turned into a joke about not needing to brush their teeth because they weren’t physically next to each other. Jaebeom asked whether Youngjae had eaten garlic that day. Youngjae said he hadn’t, and Jaebeom replied, “What a relief.”
39. Jaebeom asked how much longer they were going to keep talking. Youngjae wondered how long they had already been chatting because he couldn’t remember. Jaebeom then mentioned that he wanted to try doing something during the Space and asked Youngjae whether there was anything he wanted to do. He then gave Youngjae another piece of advice: instead of singing a lullaby only for Jaebeom, Youngjae should sing one for Ahgases too.
Youngjae replied that they were still in the middle of their conversation and that this was exactly the kind of thing they needed to learn from. Jaebeom asked, “We do?” Youngjae explained, “We learn things like this together. We can make mistakes, but the important thing is to acknowledge those mistakes and gradually correct and improve ourselves.” Jaebeom was completely speechless. He had been caught by Youngjae’s Idol Class 101 yet again!
40. Jaebeom asked, “What did I always tell you in the past?” Youngjae replied that everything begins with acknowledgment. Jaebeom agreed, saying, “The beginning of growth is acknowledgment. Acknowledgment is the first step toward growth.” Youngjae replied that he had learned that lesson very well and that Jaebeom himself now seemed ready to grow too. Jaebeom finally gave in, as if to say, “Okay, I surrender.”
41. Youngjae told Jaebeom that if he hadn’t showered yet, he was welcome to go take a shower. Jaebeom protested, “I’m not that dirty of a person.” Youngjae immediately explained that he wasn’t implying that Jaebeom was dirty just because he hadn’t showered. He insisted that he genuinely hadn’t meant it that way at all.
42. Jaebeom mentioned that he had recently visited Yugyeom and calculated how many days Yugyeom still had left. Then he told Youngjae, “You still have quite a long way to go.” Youngjae immediately responded, “You can kick someone out of this Space, right?” Youngjae announced that he was going to open a vote on whether Jaebeom should be kicked out of the Space. He asked anyone who wanted to vote to type “J” in the comments.
43. They had been talking for so long that Jaebeom’s phone battery had dropped to just 1%! Jaebeom then brought up something more seriously, saying that he wasn’t joking and had genuinely been thinking about when they should start discussing and planning something properly. (This was probably about a GOT7 comeback.) Youngjae replied that as far as he was concerned, he could do it as soon as he was discharged. He told Jaebeom not to worry, saying, “By then, I’ll make sure Choi Youngjae is back to being a full fledged artist again. Don’t worry.”
44. Youngjae noticed that the comments were suddenly filled with the letter “J” because fans were voting to kick Jaebeom out of the Space! Jaebeom jokingly replied, “Thank you, everyone! Thank you.” Youngjae then teased him by saying that he needed to acknowledge and accept it. Jaebeom finally agreed, saying that he would accept it because acknowledgment was the key to personal growth.
45. Jaebeom suggested that they discuss the details of their plans (possibly for a GOT7 comeback) later on KakaoTalk. They agreed that they should find an opportunity to discuss everything properly with all the members.
46. Jaebeom mentioned that he didn’t check KakaoTalk messages very often. Youngjae said that he knew, but that he himself always checked the messages. Jaebeom then said it sometimes felt like he was the only one talking in the group chat. Youngjae asked, “Right now?” because he thought Jaebeom meant that he was currently sending messages about their plans in the group chat. Jaebeom quickly clarified that he didn’t mean right at that moment. He assumed everyone had probably gone to bed already, although he then wondered whether they were actually still awake. Youngjae replied, “Some might be asleep, and some might still be awake.”
47. A fan commented, “Then just call everyone.” Other fans wrote things like, “Oppas, please respond to your leader in the group chat.” Youngjae said that discussions like these should be handled in their group chat and reminded everyone that the members had their own schedules too. Jaebeom agreed that they had to respect everyone’s schedules, although if their schedules didn’t line up, there might not be much they could do about it. Youngjae added that even if their schedules didn’t match, they should still try to make things happen. Jaebeom agreed, saying, “Of course! We’re always trying our best. We’ve been working hard all along.” Youngjae added that every member was doing their best, and Jaebeom concluded, “We must always acknowledge, make an effort, and keep growing.”
48. Youngjae pointed out that Jaebeom was starting to repeat the same things over and over, especially about acknowledgment. He warned that if Jaebeom kept repeating those phrases, some people might misunderstand and think he was being sarcastic or deliberately resisting. Jaebeom defended himself, saying, “That’s not what I meant at all! I understand that people might misunderstand, but I’m just reminding myself. It’s almost like brainwashing myself so I won’t forget. I’m repeating it as a reminder, like double checking and then double checking again.”
Youngjae replied, “It’s good that you’re doing that, but couldn’t you just do that when you’re home alone?” Jaebeom argued that if someone heard him say those things and interpreted them negatively, was it really necessary for them to interpret his words that way? Youngjae explained that while people might understand it that way from a listener’s perspective, they also needed to be mindful of how they expressed themselves. Still, he added that there was no need to overthink everything either.
Jaebeom tried defending himself again by saying, “But we’re in the middle of growing right now.” Youngjae finally told him, “That’s enough already.”
49. Youngjae told Jaebeom that if he had actually been sitting right in front of him, he probably would have stopped talking halfway through. But because he couldn’t see Jaebeom’s face right now, he felt a little more comfortable saying whatever he wanted. Jaebeom then asked, “Youngjae, when should we meet again?” Youngjae jokingly replied, “I don’t think we’ll be seeing each other again, hyung. I’m sorry.”
50. Jaebeom eventually said goodbye because he was going to take a shower and head to bed. Before leaving, he told Youngjae to stay strong and said they would see each other again soon. Youngjae replied, “Okay.. Thank you for coming, hyung. Good night.”
And that’s the end!

23.10.2026: English Trans - Youngjae’s Space @ChoiArs_YJ
1. Youngjae said it had been such a long time since they last saw each other.
2. A fan asked what Youngjae was doing. Youngjae replied, "Well, it's Friday today, isn't it? I'm enjoying my Friday!"
3. A fan asked if he had eaten yet. Youngjae said he had, and then asked the fans if they had eaten too.
4. Youngjae complained about his rhinitis acting up. He said, "Whenever allergy season comes around like this, I feel like I'm dying." He also complained about how much colder the weather had gotten. It wasn't gradually getting colder but rather constantly switching between hot and cold. "Today, it was cold and then hot again. That's what the weather in Korea is like right now."
5. Fans told him to be careful not to catch a cold. Youngjae replied, "I haven't caught a cold yet"
6. A fan mentioned that it was their birthday and that they seemed to be having a birthday party. Youngjae wished them a happy birthday and told them to eat pizza, fried chicken, hamburgers or whatever they wanted. Just eat everything you want.
7. Fans were sending him messages saying "Rak Rak.. Jub Jub" Youngjae said he felt like he hadn't said those words in such a long time. "Rak Rak.. Jub Jub" He felt like it had been ages since he had done any of this and apologized for not coming to see everyone more often.
8. Youngjae said he had originally planned to release one song every month. He had thought about doing that but unfortunately, it didn't work out. He said it was such a shame. A fan asked, "Who told you that you couldn't do it? Come out and explain yourself" Youngjae clarified that there were some issues on his own side that prevented him from doing it. Nobody had pressured him and he emphasized that fans shouldn't misunderstand and think the company had pressured him.
9. A fan asked Youngjae to recommend something for dinner. Youngjae said he was really craving ramyeon because he had just watched someone cooking it. However, the way that person cooked it didn't look delicious at all, which frustrated him. He thought to himself, "That's not how you make delicious ramyeon! Are they seriously eating that and saying it tastes good?" Youngjae said, "If I cooked ramyeon for that person, they would definitely be moved to tears after tasting mine" He insisted that he genuinely thought so.
10. A fan asked, "Oppa, why have you gotten even more handsome?" Youngjae replied, "Wait, you can see me?"
11. Youngjae said, "I haven't really been doing that well because I haven't been able to see Ahgases. I feel like I can barely survive without seeing you. Actually, I should say that I haven't been feeling okay for a while. My physical condition hasn't been very good lately either."
12. Youngjae said there was a comment written in Thai that he really wanted to translate but for some reason, nothing happened when he pressed the translation button. He wanted to use the translation feature to see what the fan had written.
13. Fan: Youngjae, I miss you so much.
Youngjae: I miss you too!.
14. Youngjae said he had watched the anime Chiikawa. He thought it was funny and cute.
15. A fan wrote, "This year has been really difficult for me. Could you please give me some encouragement? Your encouragement would give me so much strength."
Youngjae replied, "Fighting! You can do it! Even though I don't know what you're going through, I'm sure you’ll get through it!"
16. Youngjae said he occasionally gets to eat pad kra pao. At his current workplace, the staff or his superiors often treat him to lunch. One of his superiors took him to a Thai restaurant and asked if he could eat Thai food. Youngjae replied, "There's a dish I really like" and ordered it. He got to eat pad kra pao with minced pork and it was really delicious. Even though it had been a long time since he last ate it, it still tasted amazing. However, he added that if you eat it in Thailand, it tastes even better.
17. A fan commented that Youngjae was still so energetic even though it was nighttime. Youngjae replied, "But I'm already sleepy. It's nighttime, after all"
18. A fan said, "I'm currently studying Korean but it's really difficult" Youngjae asked which country the fan was from.
19. Youngjae uses YouTube Music, but while talking about music, he apparently accidentally mentioned Apple Music. He said, "Did I accidentally say Apple Music? I actually use YouTube Music! I think I said it wrong because I pay with Apple Pay."

22. A fan asked if he had watched Jinyoung's drama yet. Youngjae replied, "I'm watching it. I watch it every day during my lunch break after finishing my meal. It's really good!"
23. A fan asked, "You're not AI, right? Can you show us your face?" Youngjae replied, "I'm not AI! Even though AI has developed so much these days, I don't think it has reached the point where it can imitate me that well yet"
24. Fan: Pokémon LEGO sets are really expensive! Youngjae, you must be rich.
Youngjae: Well, I bought them with my salary.
25. A fan asked if he was working on anything special lately. Youngjae said he wasn't doing anything particularly special. Everything was the same as usual and there was nothing special going on.
26. A fan asked "Youngjae, could you please upload some new selfies?" Youngjae replied that he had actually lost quite a lot of weight already but he still felt a little shy about it.
27. Fan: "Oppa, if you could give Ahgases some pocket money, what's the maximum amount you would give us?"
Youngjae: "I'd give you everything!"
28. Fan: "If you were a Pokémon Trainer, which Pokémon would you choose as your first partner?"
Youngjae: "I really like the starter Pokémon. I'd definitely choose one of the three: Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur. But in the end, I'd want to catch all three of them anyway. So I'd choose one of those three!”
29. Fan: You seem even more energetic than usual today! Just hearing your voice makes me feel better.
Youngjae: Am I too high tension today? Or do I usually seem too low energy? That can't be right, can it? Well, it's Friday! We have to have some fun! Or am I being too loud? Should I quiet down a little?
30. Fan: Youngjae oppa, I've been so exhausted lately because I'm working on my graduation thesis. It's the final stage of my university life but it's much harder than I expected. I need some encouragement from you. Please give me strength
Youngjae: Fighting! You can definitely do it! A thesis is nothing! It’s just a thesis, isn't it? How should I put this? Just completely crush it! Wait, maybe I shouldn't say it like that. Anyway, fighting!
31. When a fan asked if there was anything he was particularly into lately, Youngjae replied, "Nope. There's nothing I'm particularly into. Really, nothing at all"
32. When asked whether he would take the JLPT again, Youngjae said he was currently preparing seriously for the N2 exam so he had decided to temporarily pause his piano lessons. He told his piano teacher, "I really want to give this exam my best shot. Since it's in December, I want to dedicate these two months to studying for it. Let me focus on this first and then I'll come back to piano lessons" So, for now, he has temporarily stopped taking piano lessons. He explained that during his previous attempt, he realized his reading comprehension was particularly weak. "My reading comprehension was seriously terrible" That's why he has been studying so hard. However, he said that even if he doesn't pass this time, he'll just accept it. His goal is simply to try his absolute best.
33. Youngjae explained that the reason he wanted to pause his piano lessons was that he thought it would be better to focus on completing one thing properly rather than trying to do two things at once and only giving half his effort to each. He felt that if he tried to do both simultaneously, he wouldn't be able to give either one his best.
34. A fan asked if he could still speak Japanese. Youngjae said that when it comes to Japanese, he is currently overflowing with confidence and feels that he could do much better than before. However, he admitted that it was completely baseless confidence, with no actual evidence to support it. He had no idea why but he had suddenly started feeling like his Japanese had improved.
35. A fan asked Youngjae to recommend a song to play at the end of a year end party. Youngjae asked whether they wanted something with a sad atmosphere or something more uplifting and exciting.
36. Fan: Youngjae, my friend really misses you and wants to see you often. What should I do?
Youngjae: It's okay. I'll go see you myself. You don't need to come to me. I'm right here.
37. A fan said, "I wish I could understand Korean but it's okay. I'm sure someone kind will translate everything later. Just being able to hear your voice is enough for me"
Youngjae replied, "I'm really sorry. I'm sorry that I can't do everything for everyone"
38. A fan said they were craving sashimi. Youngjae said he wanted some too. He mentioned that the best season for yellowtail fish should be approaching soon. Then he wondered, "Wait, is it not yellowtail season anymore? Or has it not started yet?" He added that it was probably really expensive right now.
39. A fan said, "Youngjae, please take care of your health. Is it cold in Korea?"
Youngjae replied, "It's cold but it's hot too" He compared the weather to KPop Demon Hunters, where the scenes set in Korea show some people wearing thick coats while others are wearing short sleeved shirts. He said that's exactly what Korea feels like right now.
40. Fans told Youngjae that he could talk even more and be even louder if he wanted. Youngjae replied, "Exactly! I'm in my own room anyway so I can shout or scream as loudly as I want!"
41. A fan asked whether he would rather eat fried chicken or pizza right now. Youngjae replied, "Pizza is pretty delicious, though"
42. Fan: What should I do when I miss you and want to see you
Youngjae: Well, first of all, you have to give me something in return! Ah, sorry! Hahaha
43. A fan asked if he was having fun. Youngjae replied, "Of course! I'm chatting away like this, aren't I?" But then he added that if someone who didn't know him at all happened to see him right now, they would probably think he was crazy.
44. A fan said they had attended a company dinner and had only just joined the Space. Youngjae comforted them, saying, "Company dinners are really exhausting, aren't they? You must be so tired. Thank you for working so hard.
45. Fan: Youngjae oppa, do you miss the GOT7 members?
Youngjae: Of course I do! It wasn't that recently but about a month or two ago, I randomly told the members, 'I miss you guys' And when everyone saw the message, they all replied, 'We miss you too.' It just happened out of nowhere.
46. Youngjae talked about visiting Yugyeom. He said there wasn't anything particularly special about the visit. He simply went to eat some delicious food with Yugyeom and they sat together chatting about everyday things, like "How are things over there?", "Things are like this here," "Oh, so that's how it is there?", and so on. After that, he went back.
47. Youngjae said he no longer drinks beer, even though he used to really love it. He feels like he might be allergic to beer because whenever he drinks it, his allergic rhinitis flares up and his nose becomes completely blocked. So now he tries to avoid drinking beer as much as possible.
48. A fan asked if he knew that the Bubble app had changed. Youngjae asked, "How has Bubble changed?" He explained that even if he opened the app, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Even if he logged in now, he wouldn't be able to use those features anyway.
49. A fan said that today marked the 12th anniversary of GOT7’s Japanese debut. Youngjae exclaimed, "Really?! How has time passed so quickly?"
50. A fan apparently brought up Bubble again. Youngjae explained that the app was probably on hold and that he couldn't do anything with it because he isn't allowed to engage in activities that generate income.
51. Fans asked him to recommend something to eat tomorrow but Youngjae started thinking about what he himself should eat. He said, "I really want ramyeon tomorrow but what should I do? I have to resist! I need to hold myself back!" Then he added, "But eel rice bowls are delicious too, aren't they?"
52. A fan asked whether Youngjae still played Pokémon GO and what level he was currently at. Youngjae replied, "Of course I do! I'm playing it seriously" He said he was now at level 68.

54. A fan asked if Youngjae had started any new types of exercise lately. He said no, he hadn't started anything new. He was still working out with his personal trainer and taking his training seriously. He exercises at least three times a week and those three sessions are guaranteed.
When he's in a muscle building phase, he works out five times a week, from Monday to Friday. When another fan asked whether personal training was fun, Youngjae replied, "It's the worst thing in the world"
55. A fan said, "I argued with the post office today because I wanted to send all my love to you but they said they didn't have a box big enough to fit it"
Youngjae replied, "I haven't seen a joke like this in ages"
56. A fan asked what words from Ahgases make Youngjae feel the happiest. Youngjae said he likes everything fans say. He clarified that he wasn't just giving a generic answer. He genuinely feels that as long as it isn't something insulting, every word is a good word to him.
57. A fan said, "Youngjae oppa, I'm a periodontist" Youngjae replied, "I take really good care of my oral health, you know!"
58. Fans mentioned that children born in 2013 were starting to debut as idols. Youngjae said that back in 2013, he was still a trainee. Those kids must have been born around the time he was training.
59. Youngjae said time was passing incredibly fast, almost as if someone had pressed the fast forward button.
60. A fan asked if he flossed his teeth. Youngjae replied, "Of course" He also said he uses a Waterpik which is a water flosser.
61. Fan: I went through so many exhausting things today. Thank you so much for coming to talk to us. Your laughter can make the whole world brighter.
Youngjae: You must have had such an exhausting day, right? And since it's Friday, you're probably even more tired than usual. I completely understand.
62. Fan: I have to go to Seoul tomorrow and wake up really early but hearing your voice feels so comforting that I can't bring myself to sleep yet. I wonder how cold Seoul will be. As a little country girl, l'm worried!
Youngjae: What are you coming to Seoul for? But honestly, I can't give you a definite answer about the weather either. It's both cold and hot! The weather is really unpredictable right now.
63. Fan: Oppa, I got a job. I just started my first day of work this week! Please congratulate me.
Youngjae: Congratulations! Seriously, the biggest congratulations in the world. You must be so tired, right? Starting a new job and trying to adjust to everything must be exhausting.
64. Fan: Oppa, it's been so long since I heard your voice. Hearing it again makes me feel like I've come back to life.
Youngjae: I feel the same way. Being able to read messages like this again... how should I put it? Reading everyone's comments again makes me feel like I've come back to life too.
65. For his TMI of the day, Youngjae said there wasn't anything particularly special to share. His everyday life has been pretty much the same.
66. Youngjae said that just because he yawned didn't mean he was sleepy. Sometimes people just yawn for no particular reason. He added, "Tomorrow is a day off! How could I possibly go to bed now? That's impossible"
67. Youngjae said he had been dealing with a problem lately. He goes to work out almost every day and when he gets home, he eats and takes a shower. But for some reason, even taking a shower has become exhausting. He said it never used to feel this tiring but now showering has somehow become the most exhausting thing in the world for him.
68. Fan: Youngjae oppa, after graduating, I started working at a new company. I've been trying new things, learning a lot and meeting new coworkers. It's a very challenging job and there's still so much I need to learn. But there's one thing I'm not very good at and that's getting close to other people. I find it really difficult to approach people because I'm extremely introverted.
Youngjae: Oh.. the message got cut off right at the part where you were about to ask, 'What should I do?' You were probably going to ask how to become closer to other people, right? Actually, this is something I find really difficult too. But here's what I think. I think simply treating others with kindness is enough. You don't have to be close to everyone. You don't need to force yourself to approach people just to become friends with them. If you’re kind and polite to others, closeness will probably develop naturally over time. Of course, there will be some people you never become close to and that's completely normal. So I want to tell you not to push yourself too hard.
Youngjae then noticed that the fan appeared to be an international fan. He said, "I really wish I could explain this in a way that they could understand better but I don't know how to express it properly. I’m sorry"
69. A fan asked if Youngjae still refused to eat cucumbers. Youngjae replied, "Yes. I still don't eat them."
70. A fan asked, "There are so many good dramas lately! What are you watching?" Youngjae said he was currently watching Japanese dramas because he was studying Japanese. He mentioned that he was watching Until the T-shirt Dries.
71. A fan asked if he wakes up early on his days off. Youngjae replied, "Not at all! I wake up really late. We have to make the most of our days off"
72. When asked if his MBTI was still the same, Youngjae asked, "Do people still talk about MBTI these days?" He said he hadn't taken the test again.
73. Youngjae said that when he watches Japanese dramas, he normally turns on the subtitles. While watching, he sometimes recognizes words he already knows or comes across expressions that he wants to try using himself. When that happens, he rewinds and watches those parts again.
74. Youngjae talked about The Weeknd's concert that he attended. He said The Weeknd was practically like a robot. He already knew The Weeknd was an incredible singer but what amazed him was that he barely drank any water throughout the performance.
There was a moment when The Weeknd briefly left the stage but it was really short, less than three minutes. Youngjae wasn't sure if he had gone backstage to drink water but during the entire time Youngjae was watching, he didn't see The Weeknd drink even once.
Youngjae thought to himself, "How is that even possible? He's singing nonstop without taking a single sip of water"
He also said he absolutely loved the concert. Every element of the production, including the stage, lighting, sound and VCR visuals, was connected to tell a story. There was a beginning, a development and a conclusion.
At first, Youngjae thought he was simply going to listen to The Weeknd perform his songs but after experiencing the concert, he was completely blown away.
He kept expressing how incredible it was that The Weeknd could sing continuously without drinking water. Youngjae said singing alone is already exhausting because you have to constantly control your breathing so he couldn't understand how The Weeknd managed to perform like that without taking a sip.
75. Youngjae said he really wants to hold his own concert. He wants to work as hard as possible to make it happen. He thought that The Weeknd was able to create such an elaborate production because he was performing at a huge venue.
Youngjae said he also dreams of having the opportunity to hold a concert in a venue that big someday. If he ever gets that chance, he wants to put all his effort into creating the most entertaining show possible. He said he has been wanting to hold a concert so badly lately.
76. Youngjae jokingly wondered whether he should try performing his own concert without drinking any water too.
77. Fan: Youngjae, are you also a fan of the KIA baseball team? Did you watch yesterday's game?
Youngjae: I'm not even sure if I'm a KIA fan myself. But in my family, my dad is the one who never misses a game. He really loves baseball. Sometimes he gets so angry because of it. One minute he's mad, the next minute he's laughing. That's what he's like
78. Someone asked Youngjae to play the piano for them. Youngjae said he had recorded all the pieces he had been practicing but if he tried to play them right now, he would probably stumble through them.
79. Someone asked about tickets for Bruno Mars's concert and whether Youngjae had booked them himself. Youngjae said the seats he managed to get were extremely far away, almost as if they were up in the sky. Those were the only seats left.
80. Youngjae shared that he had recently gone back to his hometown during Chuseok. He met up with friends he hadn't seen in a long time and had some drinks with friends from his neighborhood. Everyone was speaking in the Jeolla dialect.
81. Youngjae also played a video of Usagi from Chiikawa rapping. Fans asked whether he had heard it before and he said he hadn't. They suggested that he search for it and even gave him the keywords.
Youngjae opened the video and saw Usagi rapping and screaming. He said he was really startled but it was absolutely hilarious.
82. A fan said that the characters in Chiikawa all speak their own language and somehow understand each other while the viewers feel stupid for not understanding them.
Youngjae said it seemed like the characters had their own language, similar to the Minions. But he added as long as they can make us laugh, that's all that matters.
83. A fan said, "You really seem so happy" Youngjae replied, "Of course I am"
84. Youngjae said Usagi's rap was incredibly difficult, with an extremely high difficulty level.
85. A fan mentioned that Chiikawa plushies were becoming harder to find. Youngjae said the characters had actually been popular for a long time but their popularity seemed to have increased even more recently. He thought they were probably at the peak of their popularity right now.
86. A fan said they really missed Youngjae's hearty laughter. Youngjae replied, "Well, you just got to hear it a moment ago"
87. Youngjae said he was still building LEGO sets and doing a few other things here and there. Even though he lives alone, he still manages to keep himself pretty busy.
88. Youngjae mentioned that he had been reading books lately. When fans asked for a recommendation, he recommended a book titled "싫어하는 사람을 사라지게 하는 방법 (How to Make Someone You Dislike Disappear)"
Youngjae said the title sounded a little scary but it wasn't a bad book. It wasn't about cursing people or wishing harm upon them. Instead, it was about how to deal with situations involving people you dislike and how to make yourself feel better or handle those situations more effectively.
