Hello!
It's been a while since I posted on this blog.
I've been busy, but I also know that it's an excuse.
Anyway, EXID made a comeback yesterday! Finally all 5 members!
I'm very sure that I'm not the only one who's excited this much.
So I want to translate the lyrics of our girls' new song, "I LOVE YOU".
And this translation is only for understanding, not actual singing.
(Translated texts are red.)
Let's enjoy!

[INTERVIEW Trans.] EXID LE & Jeonghwa
Hello!
Today, I translated an interview from "international bnt News Korea".
You can find the original interview written in Korean here. LINK
DISCLAIMER: The copyright of the original interview belongs to "bnt News Korea" and the copyright of translation belongs to me, Dreamer and Rhys Green for proofreading (visit his Youtube channel).
[bnt INTERVIEW] EXID LE & Jeonghwa "It’s thankful that we’re on the same page, we will be together for a long time."
[reporter Ma Chae-rim] 28 June 2018
We see them every day, but this new combination of these two got a whole new, unexpected vibe. This is the first time that the two - LE and Jeonghwa from EXID - do duet photo shoot, so they were really excited. Forgetting about EXID at the moment, they spent the very precious and meaningful time to focus just on each other.
EXID debuted with the single 'HOLLA' in 2012. With the debut, they got the winner of the Rookie Award at Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards. 2 years later, they released 'Up Down', which was a whole new style of 'hook song'. After that, they showed their own style with hit numbers like 'Ah Yeah' and 'DDD'. In April this year, releasing 90s new jack swing style song 'Lady', they showed retro dance and fashion, also their will to keep challenging themselves.
The lifespan of Idol groups is not usually long enough so somebody may say "7 years is bad". 7-year-old EXID also couldn't ignore that, either. However, LE and Jeonghwa seem to be determined enough when picturing their future as EXID and try to be sure about their potential. It's hard to anticipate the end, but they want to be together as EXID. Seeing their ambitious and passionate energy, I smiled as if I were their mother.
*(JH as Jeonghwa)
Q: How do you feel about this photo shoot?
LE: This is the first time that I’ve had a photo shoot with Jeonghwa so it feels very different. And it was funny to wear a new style of clothes other than my style.
JH: This is the first time that I’ve had a photo shoot at the pension on the mountain. It was interesting and funny to try a new concept I've never tried.
Q: You had a hard time because of too many bugs.
JH: Except Hyelin, we all are scared of bugs. If Hani had been here, she would have run away to the valley stream. (LOL)
LE: Hyelin would say that 'why are these scary?'. Hani would've jumped about 1 meter.
Q: What have you been doing recently?
LE: The debut in Japan was recently planned so we recorded songs in Japanese. And I played PlayStation in my free time.
JH: I became a regular at a beauty show so I shot every week. I usually prefer staying at home, so members call me "home girl *(a word to describe a girl who stays at home a lot)". But I went out for working out, studying Chinese and Japanese. I stayed at home in my free time.
Q: Jeonghwa is such a "home girl" that you members are hard to see one another outside of work.
LE, JH: Yes. It's hard to meet.
JH: I’ve got so many things to do at home. I can study Chinese and Japanese outside, but I can do it at home, too. And also I can watch movies and TV series while eating. The time being at home is helpful to me, so I prefer staying at home.
LE: For me, I play games at home. Sometimes I go out, and sometimes I stay at home.
JH: LE is not the type of 'going out', either. (LOL)
Q: Who's the 'going out' type, then?
JH: Hyelin is active like 'always going out' type. I think Hani prefers staying at home.
LE: Solji and Hyelin are active and extrovert.
Q: On the day of the soccer match between Korea and Sweden, you performed on stage for street cheering. How was it?
LE: Honestly, I've never cheered enthusiastically since 2002 World Cup. (*Korea won the 4th place at the 2002 World Cup.) I felt excited when I was on stage and saw people wearing red t-shirts. I was really excited while watching the match.
JH: We didn't watch the match together, but we texted on the phone all the time. Although not actually being together, we were together. Before the stage, it was fairly early. It was sunny and hot so I didn't expect many people there. Even though it was the World Cup match, people might be busy or simply not interested. So I was worried, but after I got on the stage, there was nothing to worry about. People got so much energy to cheer that I enjoyed the stage so much.
Q: Do you like workout or sports?
LE: I'm not interested in working out. I even hate it. But I do the workout because I have to. While watching TV at home, I exercise with dumbbells. Dieting, that's the worst enemy of all people.
JH: My dad likes all kinds of sports so I was naturally close to sports. When I was in elementary school, I was an athlete. I was confident of running, so I participated in all the relay-running competition. And I watch the World Cup and Olympics game on TV.
Q: It would be good if you appeared in active variety shows.
LE: Jeonghwa did very well at the "Idol Star Athletics Championship".
JH: I'm not that competitive type, but when I was in the program, I wanted to win. Whenever someone asks me about which program I want to appear in, I answer "Running Man". I like running, so I want to do the chasing and being chased thing. And I also want to appear in "Knowing Brother". I heard that MCs there make guests comfy. I'm curious about what's gonna happen if I'm there.
LE: I don’t watch current varieties, but old ones. Recently I'm re-watching "Witch Hunt" and I want to appear in a program like it. It's my style and I could give good advice. I like listening to other people's love stories and giving advice. Also, it would be helpful if I listened to all kinds of love stories.
Q: What's it like when you're dating?
JH: Whomever I'm dating, I try to do my best. I don't like the feeling that I could've done better, which is regret. I think it's foolish not to try my best when I can. If I want to do something, I will do the best I can. If I don't want it, then just don't do it.
LE: I just do whatever I want. I thought about the past, but I couldn't tell you what it's like. (LOL) If I want to cling, I cling. If I want to call, I just call.
Q: EXID usually work as a team. If you work individually, what do you want to do? Or what are you confident in?
LE: I want to do a solo performance or a unit. If I do as a solo, I want to express myself with the various music styles which I’ve wanted to perform.
JH: I want to do a lot of things. Most of all, the first thing is acting. Although I've dreamt of acting since I was a little kid, I didn't get much of chance to act. If I had never done acting, I wouldn't have been curious about it, but I did some. So I want to get the chance to do the acting properly. Needless to say, I want to perform music, too. I'm happy that I got things eager to express and I could do it with music. Since our members are good at and fond of talking, it would be great if we got the chance to appear in variety shows and radio shows and people could see how good we are.
Q: Do you have plans for individual work?
JH: I'm preparing for the acting job. I did auditions and meetings. If I got lucky in a short time, I could do the acting job.
LE: I want Jeonghwa to appear in a historical drama as an archer dressing up like a man. She's good at archery.
JH: (LOL) I'm not good at archery. I just did well at the archery competition at "Idol Star Athletics Championship".
LE: Your facial expression was cool when you shot arrows, I'm saying. (LOL)
JH: When shooting arrows, my eyelid was shaken so I got a nickname 'magnesium Jeonghwa'. I want to portray a character that I can be myself like a perky and cheerful one. As I get older and gain more experiences, I will have more to express, but now I think it's the best that I show myself from what I have now. I appear in a beauty show as regular now, which I didn't expect, so I have more chances to do photo shoots and other things. I'm so happy about it. If I'm doing my best on whatever I'm doing, then I think things are going to be great.
LE: I enjoy watching movies and TV series, but I haven't thought about acting. I don't know how to do what I'm not interested. Making and performing music is hard enough, so I want to focus on that. Or acting without dialogue, I can manage. (LOL) I forget things, so if there's a prompter, I could do it, or a character who can't talk. I can act in a silent movie, too. (LOL) I think I'm the best in music videos.
Q: EXID members all have good figures. Could you tell me any secrets?
LE: There's no secret. We don't gain much weight from the amount of food we eat.
JH: I want to thank my parents for that.
LE: We eat a lot, but we're tall. So you couldn't notice if we put on weight or not. Since we have done this for several years, our company doesn't have to tell us to keep in shape. We keep monitoring ourselves on TV and try to keep in shape until we're satisfied.
JH: Sometimes our company even tells us not to lose weight. When I had to wear sexy outfits, I just wanted to show better myself. So I tried to keep in shape. When preparing for an album, I want to work out more. Before the showcase, I eat less as I could. After the showcase and checking the photos from reporters, I start to eat more. (LOL)
LE: In case of the music video, since it lasts forever, I want to do my best on it. My grandchildren will probably watch that.
Q: When I search Jeonghwa and LE online, 'nice figure' comes up as a relative keyword. It means that people are interested in it. What do you think about that?
LE: I think people are interested because we are not that 'too skinny' type. My job is all about people always watching us, so keeping in shape is what I have to live with. To tell you about my diet, I used to just skip meals and not to eat. When I'm little hungry now, it's too painful. So I just try to eat 3 meals a day, not skipping any meals. I do workout, but I want to cry whenever I workout. (LOL) EXID has no food bias. We talked about what we can't eat, but there's nothing. When we meet, we talk about just food. (LOL)
Q: Do you have plans for summer vacation?
JH: I don't like traveling. I think if you want to rest, you should stay at home. We have schedules overseas, too. So going overseas feels like work for me. When I have my free time, I stay at my home or go to my parent's. I think staying at familiar places is resting, so I don't go out much. In July, I'm going to appear in a new program with (*Korean comedian) Lee Guk-ju, which means I can't travel.
LE: Whenever I have free time, I want to go somewhere. Not long ago, I went to Thailand with Hyelin. Next time I want to visit Bali or Cuba. I enjoy visiting vacation spots.
Q: What things do you like as a girl group member?
LE: For as long as I have worked as a team, I've met special people close like family and friends.
JH: At the beginning, things were hard for me. And I had many things to embrace, which was tiring. But we did a lot of hard work together, so we don't have to explain one another. We just know. It's very assuring that I have members like that behind my back. I have one younger brother, but now I feel like I have four older sisters, too.
Q: Tell me about hard things as a girl group member.
JH: I was worried about this. I debuted at 16. So fans might keep expecting my perky, bright side from a teenage girl. I think people still want to see it from me. Although I was losing that side of me, I felt like I still have to show it to them. I was afraid if they didn't like me anymore because of the changed me.
LE: Talking about hard things... I come up with lots of thinking in my head. Every entertainer may think as Jeonghwa. You think if you show your other side, people might not like you anymore. Relationship with fans is so difficult. I guess that's the reason that the letters from fans got all the feelings of appreciation, sorry, frustration, and so on.
Q: What's the chemistry among you? Tell me about each member's position.
JH: LE is the one who notices the real us.
LE: I have the ability to catch funny situations which other people can't notice. People don't think I see them, but I'm always watching. (LOL)
JH: She catches our weak spots well and teases us with them.
LE: Jeonghwa is like the all-or-nothing type. Sometimes she's just like me, which means she enjoys kidding and teasing others. But sometimes she's keeping it together. When members get crazy, she's trying to keep it together and play a role as an MC when we're streaming live.
JH: I think I'm looking around since I'm the youngest.
Q: Could you compliment each other?
LE: Jeonghwa's virtue is doing things meticulously and pursuing perfection, which I'd like to do. She thinks she has to do perfectly whatever she's doing and she actually makes it.
JH: LE believes in herself, which I want to do. She has all the confidence enough to relax and calm. That's too hard for me.
Q: What are the good characteristics that you want to learn from other members?
LE: Solji is good at taking care of people. I'm not very good at it. She cares and notices how people are doing.
JH: Solji is straightforward about her feelings and thinking. I think expressing myself is hard and some people may be even afraid of it. But she isn't afraid of it and is good at it. That is her virtue which I want to be like.
LE: Hani is... hilarious.
JH: I can't stop laughing when thinking about Hani. She's so funny. (LOL) It's like she's living in an entertaining show. Hahaha.
LE: Things that can happen in an entertaining show happen with Hani in her daily life. Things from her that fans see, they're just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many episodes around her. Those are what just members, managers, and staffs can see.
JH: Sometimes it's amazing. If I am together with her for 2 hours, at least 10 little but funny things happen like wetting the table while pouring water into a cup or unintentional slapstick. (LOL)
LE: But because of that, she is very good at entertaining shows. I might want that.
JH: Other members will read this. (LOL) I'm sure that Hani will be hurt by this. This interview will be uploaded to our chatroom. But if I add one more thing about her...
LE: Why don't I have one? I don't have anything to want to learn from her. (LOL) She and I are very different people. She's always got all things planned and has to do as planned... I don't want that. (LOL)
JH: I want her keen insight. Her objective view is so useful for working.
LE: Hyelin and Solji are alike. They're caring type, which I want to be like.
JH: I agree with it. They have same blood type... Hyelin adapts herself well. She is a very good mixer, which people like from her. I hope she stays being a lovable person like that.
LE: Hyelin trusts people. I don't know since when but at some point, I found it hard. It's what I want from her.
Q: Is EXID going to be a 'long-run group'? How long do you want to be together?
LE: We talked about this recently and we all want to be as EXID. Since our debut, we've thought our role model as Shinhwa.
JH: Then are you saying that we do this just until Shinhwa disbands? (tempered) We haven't decided when.
LE: I was saying that they work as a team and individual and it's wonderful.
JH: I want to be EXID as long as members want to be together.
Q: Last question, do you have something to tell to your members?
LE: There's a saying 'bad 7 years'. We're almost 7 years old. Oh, my, time flies. We succeeded not for long, I don't feel it's long, but I appreciate that we're on the same page. I want to do things which we haven't done yet together. And also I want to make good memories that we can remind in 10 or 20 years.
JH: At first, LE who did the photo shoot with me today, I want to talk about us, 'Tom and Jerry'. This is the first time that two of us do the photo shoot and I really enjoyed it. I screamed for bugs and many things happened, but it ended well and I'm looking forward to the photos. This interview is also good. From now on, I hope the time that we will spend together as EXID is going to be good memories and good for each of us. I want to tell all the members that you have done very well so far.

LE: I think people are interested because we are not that 'too skinny' type. My job is all about people always watching us, so keeping in shape is what I have to live with. To tell you about my diet, I used to just skip meals and not to eat. When I'm little hungry now, it's too painful. So I just try to eat 3 meals a day, not skipping any meals. I do workout, but I want to cry whenever I workout. (LOL) EXID has no food bias. We talked about what we can't eat, but there's nothing. When we meet, we talk about just food. (LOL)
Q: Do you have plans for summer vacation?
JH: I don't like traveling. I think if you want to rest, you should stay at home. We have schedules overseas, too. So going overseas feels like work for me. When I have my free time, I stay at my home or go to my parent's. I think staying at familiar places is resting, so I don't go out much. In July, I'm going to appear in a new program with (*Korean comedian) Lee Guk-ju, which means I can't travel.
LE: Whenever I have free time, I want to go somewhere. Not long ago, I went to Thailand with Hyelin. Next time I want to visit Bali or Cuba. I enjoy visiting vacation spots.
Q: What things do you like as a girl group member?
LE: For as long as I have worked as a team, I've met special people close like family and friends.
JH: At the beginning, things were hard for me. And I had many things to embrace, which was tiring. But we did a lot of hard work together, so we don't have to explain one another. We just know. It's very assuring that I have members like that behind my back. I have one younger brother, but now I feel like I have four older sisters, too.
Q: Tell me about hard things as a girl group member.
JH: I was worried about this. I debuted at 16. So fans might keep expecting my perky, bright side from a teenage girl. I think people still want to see it from me. Although I was losing that side of me, I felt like I still have to show it to them. I was afraid if they didn't like me anymore because of the changed me.
LE: Talking about hard things... I come up with lots of thinking in my head. Every entertainer may think as Jeonghwa. You think if you show your other side, people might not like you anymore. Relationship with fans is so difficult. I guess that's the reason that the letters from fans got all the feelings of appreciation, sorry, frustration, and so on.
Q: What's the chemistry among you? Tell me about each member's position.
JH: LE is the one who notices the real us.
LE: I have the ability to catch funny situations which other people can't notice. People don't think I see them, but I'm always watching. (LOL)
JH: She catches our weak spots well and teases us with them.
LE: Jeonghwa is like the all-or-nothing type. Sometimes she's just like me, which means she enjoys kidding and teasing others. But sometimes she's keeping it together. When members get crazy, she's trying to keep it together and play a role as an MC when we're streaming live.
JH: I think I'm looking around since I'm the youngest.
Q: Could you compliment each other?
LE: Jeonghwa's virtue is doing things meticulously and pursuing perfection, which I'd like to do. She thinks she has to do perfectly whatever she's doing and she actually makes it.
JH: LE believes in herself, which I want to do. She has all the confidence enough to relax and calm. That's too hard for me.
Q: What are the good characteristics that you want to learn from other members?
LE: Solji is good at taking care of people. I'm not very good at it. She cares and notices how people are doing.
JH: Solji is straightforward about her feelings and thinking. I think expressing myself is hard and some people may be even afraid of it. But she isn't afraid of it and is good at it. That is her virtue which I want to be like.
LE: Hani is... hilarious.
JH: I can't stop laughing when thinking about Hani. She's so funny. (LOL) It's like she's living in an entertaining show. Hahaha.
LE: Things that can happen in an entertaining show happen with Hani in her daily life. Things from her that fans see, they're just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many episodes around her. Those are what just members, managers, and staffs can see.
JH: Sometimes it's amazing. If I am together with her for 2 hours, at least 10 little but funny things happen like wetting the table while pouring water into a cup or unintentional slapstick. (LOL)
LE: But because of that, she is very good at entertaining shows. I might want that.
JH: Other members will read this. (LOL) I'm sure that Hani will be hurt by this. This interview will be uploaded to our chatroom. But if I add one more thing about her...
LE: Why don't I have one? I don't have anything to want to learn from her. (LOL) She and I are very different people. She's always got all things planned and has to do as planned... I don't want that. (LOL)
JH: I want her keen insight. Her objective view is so useful for working.
LE: Hyelin and Solji are alike. They're caring type, which I want to be like.
JH: I agree with it. They have same blood type... Hyelin adapts herself well. She is a very good mixer, which people like from her. I hope she stays being a lovable person like that.
LE: Hyelin trusts people. I don't know since when but at some point, I found it hard. It's what I want from her.
Q: Is EXID going to be a 'long-run group'? How long do you want to be together?
LE: We talked about this recently and we all want to be as EXID. Since our debut, we've thought our role model as Shinhwa.
JH: Then are you saying that we do this just until Shinhwa disbands? (tempered) We haven't decided when.
LE: I was saying that they work as a team and individual and it's wonderful.
JH: I want to be EXID as long as members want to be together.
Q: Last question, do you have something to tell to your members?
LE: There's a saying 'bad 7 years'. We're almost 7 years old. Oh, my, time flies. We succeeded not for long, I don't feel it's long, but I appreciate that we're on the same page. I want to do things which we haven't done yet together. And also I want to make good memories that we can remind in 10 or 20 years.
JH: At first, LE who did the photo shoot with me today, I want to talk about us, 'Tom and Jerry'. This is the first time that two of us do the photo shoot and I really enjoyed it. I screamed for bugs and many things happened, but it ended well and I'm looking forward to the photos. This interview is also good. From now on, I hope the time that we will spend together as EXID is going to be good memories and good for each of us. I want to tell all the members that you have done very well so far.

[SLANG] EXID aka 짤 부자? 움짤? What do these mean?
Hello!
Today I'm telling you about '짤[jjal]', '움짤[umjjal]'.
I think many of you who are studying Korean are already familiar with these words. But not many of you know what they actually mean.
First, '짤' and '움짤' are slang, but not bad words because even on a radio show, people say them.
Let's watch.
[58:06~ ]
DJ Lee Hongki : EXID가요, 짤부자라는 얘기가 있어요.
EXID is known for '짤' rich.
And after that, they're talking about their '짤' they already know like these.
And on this video, Hani says '움짤'.
Let's watch.
[07:04~ ]
"방금 거 캡처하지 말아요! 움짤 노노!"
"Never capture a moment ago! '움짤' no, no!"
Obviously '움짤' means GIF as you know.
But where were these common slangs from?
Back to the beginning of Internet era, there was a Korean website called 'Digital Camera inside', or 'DC inside'. This site was all about the digital camera and digital pictures.
So the boards on the site were all called 'Gallery'. You know what 'Gallery' is, right? If you want to write on this board, you have to upload more than a picture which was taken by digital camera. If you don't, administrator on the site just cut out your writing.
But not everyone had a digital camera back then, and many people just want to simply talk, so people started upload random, meaningless pictures. And these random, meaningless pictures are getting more humorous.
Therefore, '짤', sometimes '짤방[jjalbang]', is from '짤림 방지', which means 'keeping from being cut out'.
And '움짤' is from '움직이는 짤림 방지', which means 'acting 짤'.
I hope this would help you.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I'll say goodbye with Hani's legend '움짤'.
Bye~

[MEMES] Hyelin would give you poop in your dream? OMG! Why?
Hi, international LEGGOs!
Today, I want to tell you about one of Korean culture, the old one.
At first, did you watch this '드립 drip fansign' video?
If you don't know what the '드립' is, check the article on this blog first.
OK. Let's watch this again.
[Original Video by News-Ade Youtube channel]
[Eng subs by "I love EXID" Youtube channel]
[08:01~ ]
As you can see, a fan told Hyelin to come over to a birthday party in her dream.
And Hyelin answered to that, 'I would give you poop in your dream.'
What the heck? We already know Hyelin's little... cute? (yeah, just let it slide)
But she seems little serious, right?
Because that's a thing from Korean culture.
Let me explain.
It's called '해몽(解夢)', pronounced as [haemong]. Basically, it's dream reading.
Since a long, long time ago, some kinds of dreams were explained as a prediction. I first assumed that this dream reading was from old China culture, but I googled a little, it turned out I was wrong. Someone says it's existed since old Greece like the Odyssey. And from one of the US TV shows I watched, a Colombian actress talked about her dream, which means bad omen in her hometown. So I guess it's really old, worldwide thing. Some of you may have heard about this.
And this is superstition, I may say. So I hope no one takes this too seriously.
So I just want to tell you some common dreams in Korea.
(This list is from Wikipedia and I added a little.)
In your dream,
Do you like this? How about sharing common dream readings from your countries? It would be funny.
Thanks for reading! Bye!

In your dream,
- stepping on poop, meaning 'good luck, fortune'
- falling from a high place, meaning 'getting taller'
- seeing a pig, meaning 'fortune, mostly about money'
- yourself dying or killing someone, meaning 'good luck'
- seeing dragon, tiger, fruit, flower or some mysterious things and got pregnant person around you, meaning 'expecting a baby and the baby's character'
- being chased by someone or something, meaning 'failure, frustration'
- killing yourself, meaning 'new start'
Do you like this? How about sharing common dream readings from your countries? It would be funny.

[KOREAN LANGUAGE] Did you know that Korean use Chinese character?
Hello!
Today I'm gonna explain one thing about Korean language.
As you can see in the title, this article may be for who use Chinese character.
Korea has used Chinese character before Korean letter was invented and even after. Since Korean letter Hangul was first invented in 1443, I'm talking about a long, long time. And even though Korea invented our own letter, Korea still used Chinese character until the end of 1900's.
Anyway, in contemporary Korea, even though we don't usually use the Chinese character which is called 'Hanja 漢字' in Korea, we still use words which could be written in Hanja.
I think that's enough for history lesson today.
Now I want to show you which are Hanja words from EXID lyrics.
Let's start with 'Lady', '내일(來日)해'.
[LE's 1st rap]
아직도 난 네 앞에 서 있지
모면(謀免)하고 싶은 맘 커져 있지
I Can Feel About Ur Feeling
이런 네가 미워 Can’t You Feel It?
뭐가 그리 급(急)해 No No No
대화(對話)조차 못해 No No No
내가 널 붙잡을 시도(試圖)조차 못하게 구네
치사(恥事)해 진짜 너 왜 이렇게 못돼
And this is 'Updown' '위아래'
[LE's 1st rap]
난 몰라. 순진(純眞)한 척 하는 네 동공(瞳孔)
날 네 맘대로 들었다가는 놓고
then i feel loco. oh oh
날 미치게 만들어 강제(強制) 탑승(搭乘)한 roller.
co coaster. su such a monster
OK. This is it for today. I hope you like it!

[SLANG] '드립', is it 'drip'? What's dropping, then?
Hi, International LEGGOs!
Today I'll talk about Korean slang.
So I hope this article is helpful for people who are learning Korean.
All right.
Today's word is "드립" [drip, drib].
First, let's watch the video, "[EXID] Virtual Fansign."
[Original Video by News-Ade Youtube channel]
[Eng subs by "I love EXID" Youtube channel]
Did you enjoy this one? They're hilarious, right?
At the beginning, Hyelin said "I've heard there are 28,000 fans."
and funny situations went on.
To explain this, we have to know what original title means.
The original title is
"EXID의 극한 드립 대잔치 [팬사인회에초대합니다]".
And translating literally, it would be
"EXID's ultimate 드립 (drip) festival [We invite you to fansign]".
Now it's the time to tell you what the '드립' means.
It's originally from a English word 'ad lib'.
Definition of 'ad lib' is
"ad-lib (verb)
:to do something without preparation or planning"
(Cambridge Dictionary)
The meaning of 'ad lib' has been added and changed a little bit in Korean, from '애드립' to '드립'. And '드립' means that saying something without thinking or saying something weird out of nowhere, mostly fun intended.
This word is used like '드립 치다'.
When you watched the video, there was a lot of absurd and funny conversation, right? Because it's 드립 festa!
Before wrapping this up, I'll show another video which Hani said '드립' on.
[You can watch this with Eng subs which twitter @EXIDear and I made]
[07:44~ ]
"여러분, 드립력이 상당하신데요?"
Don't forget that this is a slang!
See you next time.

[MEMES] Why do EXID cover their mouths and say "This is the 1st time." with funny accent?
Hello, International LEGGO!
Today I'm going to talk about what EXID do many times.
When you watch V live, they often cover the mouths with their hands
and tell "I don't know." and "This is the 1st time to show this." with funny accent, right?
The accent feels like Hip-hop or someth, I dunno.
OK. Let's find out.
[Eng subs included, translated by me]
[08:55~ ] [17:58~ ]
At this video, they act like that twice.
In the 2nd time, they actually do the same move and accent except Junghwa.
So where did this meme come from?
[his Instagram link]
His name is Go Janghwan who is a comedian and a member of Hip-hop group 'Namola Family'. At first he and other two comedians had performed a comedy stage with funny rapping at the comedy show. After they performed for a while, they actually released some R&B Hip-hop tunes and their songs were good, got famous.
I think the group was not that active for a while. However one day, Janghwan's Instagram feed gone viral. Big time.
So EXID tend to mimic his move sometimes.
Thank you for reading and see you next time, y'all!

[MEMES] Hyelin, the mocking master!
Hello!
Did you hear the news that our crazy Hyelin has become the mocking master?
What the heck am I talking about?
OK. I'll show you.
[Eng subs included, translated by me]
[01:23~ ]
As you can see, Hyelin became the master!
When I watched this video, I couldn't breathe.
She's hilarious!
Now, it's time to be curious.
Where did she get that move?
Do you want to know?
[His Instagram link]
The mocking man is Yoo Seyun, who is a comedian and singer.
And the sitting man is Kim Jong-guk, who is a singer and a regular of SBS TV Show "Running Man". He's a muscle man. He works out a lot and he's very strict on his diet.
So obviously the situation is fun intended, but you can also feel dangerous vibe.
That clip was gone viral for a while.
So Hyelin learned that move from him.
However, there's a saying "The student has become the master."
It turned out to be true!
Let's watch this.
[MBC Every1 Weekly Idol E351, 18th April, 2018]
[You can't watch this in Korea because of the copyright law.]
[36:15~ ]
The dream battle begins.
Master versus Master!
OK, this is it for today.
I hope you like this blog. Thank you!

Did you hear the news that our crazy Hyelin has become the mocking master?
What the heck am I talking about?
OK. I'll show you.
[Eng subs included, translated by me]
[01:23~ ]
As you can see, Hyelin became the master!
When I watched this video, I couldn't breathe.
She's hilarious!
Now, it's time to be curious.
Where did she get that move?
Do you want to know?
[His Instagram link]
The mocking man is Yoo Seyun, who is a comedian and singer.
And the sitting man is Kim Jong-guk, who is a singer and a regular of SBS TV Show "Running Man". He's a muscle man. He works out a lot and he's very strict on his diet.
So obviously the situation is fun intended, but you can also feel dangerous vibe.
That clip was gone viral for a while.
So Hyelin learned that move from him.
However, there's a saying "The student has become the master."
It turned out to be true!
Let's watch this.
[MBC Every1 Weekly Idol E351, 18th April, 2018]
[You can't watch this in Korea because of the copyright law.]
[36:15~ ]
The dream battle begins.
Master versus Master!
OK, this is it for today.
I hope you like this blog. Thank you!

[MEMES] Hani panicked! Why does she do that?
When Hani panic, she does something and keep saying 'cut'.
Do you want to know why she does like that?
Then let's watch our beautiful Hani first.
[You can watch this with Eng subs which twitter @EXIDear and I made]
[07:13~ ]
Hani panicked and said
"잊어주세요. 자, 편집, 편집. 아디다스. 편집, 편집."
"Forget what just happened. Let's cut it out. Adidas. Cut it out."
Did she say "Adidas"? Yes. The Adidas we all know, the fashion brand.
She did it again on this video.
[English subtitles included]
[09:10~ ]
Hani made funny face and was embarrassed.
So she said something like this.
"Cut, cut. Adidas. Nike."
Yes, she said the names of famous brands.
Why does she do that?
[Explanation]
In Korea, there's a broadcast regulation that you can't say names of brands on official TV and radio shows. So if you want to imply something, you have to say it indirectly.
For example, if you want to imply iPhone from Apple, you say "사과 (Sagwa, that's 'apple' for Korean.) phone".
Or you can skip some letters like this.
[TVN Salty Tour, 14th April 2018]
Park Narae (Comedian) lost her iPad so she went back to the restaurant she ate at. And she called Hani and asked "Did one of us take my iPad?" but on the screen, it's written as "아이ㅇㅇ".
[Conclusion]
Now you know the regulation about the brands name.
Then why does Hani say that even though she knew the rule?
Because if you say that on the show, PD has to cut that part out.
So when some entertainers make a mistake or don't like the situation, they intentionally say the brands name, or even swear words, mostly fun intended.
However, this rule is NOT applied on Internet show.
So at MADE IN EXID video, PD answered to Hani's reaction.
"Since this is Internet show, it's no use. :-)"
I hope you enjoy reading this. Thank you for reading!

[SLANG] 빼박캔트? What is that?
Our lovely Hyelin said some slang on the radio show.
Let's learn what it means.
11th April, 2018
Lee Hong Ki's Kiss the Radio.
[Backgrounds]
LE and Lee Hongki once met and drank together with friends and Jeong Hyeongdon (Comedian, former Weekly Idol MC) heard about this from Hongki. Hongki said to Hyeongdon that he was late for the drinking, so LE made him drink 3 shots at once and he was scared a bit. And Hyeondon told that on Weekly Idol when EXID showed up. So if you search LE on the internet, Hongki's name comes up with LE.
[04:53~ ]
(A listener asked about the incident.)
DJ: LE!
LE: Yes. (laughing altogether)
DJ: I watched the Weekly Idol. Even Hyeongdon called me. Please reveal the truth. Did I tell a lie?
(All laughing)
LE: I think Hyeondon exaggerated a little.
DJ: You know I watched that show, right? (LOL) I watched it without even blinking because my name was mentioned.
Hyelin: 빼박캔트네요.
Junghwa: Let's talk about it honestly.
[Explanation]
"빼박" is from an abbreviation of "빼도 박도 못하다"
and "캔트" is "can't".
"빼도 박도 못하다" originally means
when you hit a nail on wood or something,
you couldn't hit it into wood or pull out since it's stuck.
So that phrase is used when you can't do anything or you face the truth you can't deny.
It's used as "빼박캔트네요" or "빼박이네요".
And you gotta know it's a slang!

Greetings to international LEGGO!
Hello, I'm a Dreamer.
(You may say I'm a Dreamer.)
I'm a Korean and a huge fan of EXID's.
I opened this blog because I assumed many international LEGGOs want to understand more about Korean culture and memes of EXID.
I hope I could help you understand.
