152K viewers are watching. . .say hi !

this vlive opens up to CRYPTIC's hyung line still in the waiting room of MNET's broadcasting station. the younger 02z members (excluding MINJAE) had just left for their dorms early, only to call back to the older members that they're stuck in a four hour jam on the way back and it'll take a while before the van can return for them.

(violently shaking the camera) your phone stand isn't working.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
(gets up to help ASH) no, you gotta use the thing here to prop itโ€“

the camera (ASH's phone) tumbled down the desk as soon as JASON touched it.

after a bit of struggling, the camera finally steadies itself, with MINJAE holding onto a tablet silently judging the older members.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
sooo yes, sorry SALVATIONS. we're good now!

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
we fixed the stand but yes, how was everyone's day?

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
how are you supposed to read the comments if the phone is all the way there?

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
MINJAE's holding onto the tablet you idiot. he will read the comments.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
and if I refuse?

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
okay but can you please read the comments.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
ypu just got evicted from the 02z.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
no, I represent all of them.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
you're their spokesperson now!

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
they went home early because they wanted to watch a movie together but they ended up getting caught in a bad traffic jam.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
they left me here stuck with you guys...

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
you were sleeping when they said they wanted to go back! plus don't you always complain about being stuck with THEM?

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
I'm always stuck with either hyungs or the 02z but they're less hag.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
YOUโ€“

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
DO YOU THINK YOU'LL STAY YOUNG FOREVER?

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
you'll be my age in three years, don't be so full of yourself.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
how is that possible when you were born in the century before him?

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
what do you call a thousand years?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
a thousand years.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
millennium.ย 

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
oh yes, that.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
(sigh) SALVATIONS, do you see this? Here in CRYPTIC it's not the hyungs bullying the younger members but the younger members bullying the hyungs.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
okay, hyungs let's stop.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
(crosses his arm)

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ

this is definitely going onto those "CRYPTIC not letting JASON breathe for 8 minutes straight" videos.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
do you enjoy seeing videos like those?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
yes because youโ€™re our favorite hyung!

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
(melts) aw, okay.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
he's our only hyung though.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
can't relate, I have multiple.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
ok, let's move on.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
we're not moving anywhere. the van probably won't be back for another two hours.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
I meant the topic.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
oh.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
what should we talk about?ย 

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
SALVATIONS, what should we talk about?

โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œ โšก๏ธŽ โ ๐‚๐Ž๐Œ๐Œ๐„๐๐“๐’ โบ โž โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•ฎ

"how was mcountdown today?"

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
...uhm. fine?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
it's the same as any other mcountdown day.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
wow... that sounds like what I would say when I have nothing to say.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
today has been pretty anticlimactic.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
now you're making the live anticlimactic.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
WELL THERE WASN'T A PLAN. WE DID THIS CAUSE WE WERE BORED.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
I'd like to think that HANSOL, ASHTON, and SIHYEON are watching this live on their way home while stuck.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
SIHYEON is probably gasping right now.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
with one of his hands over his mouth.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
and now he probably has two of his hands on his head right now in disbelief.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
lets place bets. which hand did SIHYEON cover his mouth with?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
I say left.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
right.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
left.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
left for me.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
โ€Ž

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
well how do we know who won?

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
we'll ask when we get backโ€“

suddenly, all four of their phones' notifications rang. ASH takes it out and reads it.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
it's ASHTON. he says everyone but JASON won.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
NOOOOOOOOOO

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
this is fun.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
ask them if they can turn around and take us home.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
you wanna be stuck in a jam for four hours??

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
If they came back for us to them it'll be a two hour drive for nothing and a four hour drive back which rounds up to six hours for them.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
sounds about right.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
everyone's been thinking about our members but has anyone stopped to think about the DRIVER who has to drive them four hours back home, an hour back here to get us and then possibly another four hours back to the dorms.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
what if we got a ride home right now?

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
are you feeling guilty?

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
no, I just want to go home and play overwatch.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
what if we just camped here tonight?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
it'll be like having a sleepover!

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
there are other idols around as well, all stuck here because of the storm and traffic.

โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œ โšก๏ธŽ โ ๐‚๐Ž๐Œ๐Œ๐„๐๐“๐’ โบ โž โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•ฎ

โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œ

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
(reads comments) someone's wondering who's still stuck there.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
quite a few. I saw members of VICTON-sunbaenim, WOO!AH!-sunbaenim, BIBI-sunbaenim, and EQUINOX-sunbaenim when I was trying to get drinks at the vending machine.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
that's a lot of sunbaes.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
that sounds like a big sleepover.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
I didn't bring my PJs.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
oh no, that would be a problem if HANSOL and SIHYEON were here.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
why?

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
they don't wearโ€“

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
OKAY. ENOUGH. ENOUGH. STOP. SHUT UP.

a loud thunderclap strikes, startling everyone jolting everyone up while a woman's shriek from outside was heard.

๐• ๐–ค ??? โธƒโธƒ
sorry.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
it's okaโ€“ OH HELLO.

everyone (except for MINJAE) all immediately get up from the seats to greet the two people at the door.

๐• ๐–ค ??? โธƒโธƒ
were you guys filming something?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
nah, we're just doing a vlive... would you like to join us?

๐• ๐–ค ??? โธƒโธƒ
will we be intruding?

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
nono. we're all bored here, come join us.

the two people at the door walk in, revealing themselves to be JAE and IROHA from EQUINOX.

JASON immediately gets up from his seat, and smacks MINJAE to get up from his seat for his seniors, inviting a reluctant glare from the latter before he finally gets up and sit on the floor with the group's leader.

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
(to MINJAE) Thank youuu

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
(smiles)ย 

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
it seems like we'll be in here for a while.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
yeah, did your other members leave already?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
nah, theyโ€™re just next door chit chatting and resting as our driver told us about the traffic.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ!
I see, do you have any schedules for tomorrow?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
nope, the next thing in our schedule is on sunday at inkigayo.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
oh we'll be promoting there as well. maybe we'll see each other then too!

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
we probably will.

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
we definitely will.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
we cut real close today but I'd like to congratulate you for your win today.

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
awwwwwwwww thank youu! I liked ALL IN too.ย 

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
who do you think slayed ALL IN?

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
for meโ€ฆ I think JASON did.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
(melts)

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
did everyone else not slay?

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
nooooo I think everyone did well but JASON stood out with his incredible stage presence.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
okay, which one did I slay?

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
uhmmmmmโ€ฆ

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
ah... I see noona has never heard our previous songs.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
BLESSED-CURSED was good in my opinion! I think MARCUS and SHAWN did well!

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
(sigh) is that the only song from us that you know of?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
I'm sorry.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
I see how it is. It's okay. I enjoyed TALK THAT TALK and FANCY and I CAN'T STOP ME by the way.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
this might be a little unrelated but now that I've spoken to you, you are quite like IROHA.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
really? how so?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
not only are you both good performers with incredible stage presence, I noticed you're both quite similar in terms of personality.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
Iโ€™ll take that as a compliment.

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
SEONGJUN-hyung and IROHA-sunbae both share the same MBTI as well. they align perfectly.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
(to JAE) sunbae since you're here can I ask you for some idol advice?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
yeah sure what's up?

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
wow we're such great seniors. it's like we started therapy!!

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
aww, that's a big step in taking care of your mentalโ€“

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
anyone with problems come talk to US.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
ok, shut up. JASON what would you like to ask about?

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
I see you often handle your group pretty well. how do you get the children to behave?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
...

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
are you referring to MARCUS?

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
OOPโ€“

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
nah, my entire group in general but yes MARCUS sometimes.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
hmmโ€ฆ I guess it must be pretty hard for you, when you're being placed in charge of the careers and well-being of everyone.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
I'd reckon that having this much responsibility can take a mental toll on someone. but the leader must also realize that they are the backbone of the group.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
if they collapse and are unable to bounce back, or have someone else to rely on, the entire group will go into a spiral.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
are there any struggles you had to face as a leader?

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
mmmmโ€ฆ nothing major so far but as leaders we are responsible for making sure everything is running on schedule.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
hiccups like internal conflict causing a delay will have to be answered by US when questioned by the CEO.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
there was once when our group's choreographer fell sick and wasn't able to teach us the choreography for a week.ย 

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
I had to make sure things ran on time so that week HEIDI and I had to teach ourselves the entire choreography in a day and we spent the remaining six days reaching the others the choreography.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
wow, respect.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
I feel like we leaders often can't tell my members the more major issues we're facing.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
of course. since it's usually up to us to solve the problem. sometimes telling them might snowball the issue into something worse if they decide to take action into their own hands but handle it poorly.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
but it's good to keep one or two members that you can discuss or just simply rant about the problems. very early on, I used to just keep all the problems to myself and when other members asked if there's any issues, I would just tell them no. but then when it got too much for me I would step away into a studio and just cry.

JAE's voice begins to crack as she begins tearing up, and IROHA immediately hugs JAE from the back for comfort.

โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œ โšก๏ธŽ โ ๐‚๐Ž๐Œ๐Œ๐„๐๐“๐’ โบ โž โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•ฎ

โ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œโ•Œ

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
then one day, OPAL-unnie told me that I could talk to her for anything that was troubling me. obviously I told her not to interfere and that I would handle it but it was definitely nicer to just get everything bugging me off my chest to someone who was used to facing something similar. she's not the group's leader but since she's the group's unnie, she would guide or help the other members to make whatever issue it was at hand to be solved.

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
sounds like being a leader isn't easy.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
it really isn't.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
it's not. In the beginning, OPAL-unnie was one of the candidates for the leader position. but after our executives discussed it further, she thought it was best for her to let someone else take up the role of being a leader. not only is she the oldest member, she's also one of our core performers and we didn't want to put too much on her plate.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
that said, being a leader is certainly not easy so my number one advice to you is to always find someone you can rely on and share your burdens. it's very suffocating to keep all the ongoing problems to yourself.

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
ASH and ASHTON-ssi often help me out whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed so I appreciate them a lot.

(to IROHA) sunbae, since you're a foreigner, what hardships did you have to overcome?ย 

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
the language (giggles)

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
I think you speak korean pretty well though!

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
yeah!! I was lucky because I found friends who taught me but in the beginning I was a mess.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
how so?

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
okay storytime but I first came to korea to be a trainee in 2016... april. so it was pretty summery back then.

๐• ๐–ค JAE โธƒโธƒ
(burst out laughing in second hand embarrassment)

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
since it was summery, whenever I went to our company's cafeteria, I always ordered "iced tea" since that was the only beverage I knew. but then fast forward seven months, it was november and the weather was starting to get cold.

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
BUT I STILL DID NOT KNOW HOW TO ORDER OTHER BEVERAGES. so one day, I just went up to the beverage lady and asked for "hot iced tea."

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
???

๐• ๐–ค MINJAE โธƒโธƒ
what was her reaction?

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
confused?? but being foreign does come with its perks!

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ON ABOUT. you can basically pull the foreign card and get out of anything!

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
exactly!!! the amount of times I got away with eating in the practice room without being scolded just by acting confused!

๐• ๐–ค ASH โธƒโธƒ
wait we need a re-enactment.ย 

๐• ๐–ค JASON โธƒโธƒ
"IROHA-ssi! you're not allowed to eat in the practice room."

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
I just go, "eh??? ...n- nani?"

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
LIKE THAT. I HAVE THE SAME CONFUSED LOOK BUT I UNDERSTAND THEM.

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
I think after debuting, a mild issue is sometimes that we may feel left out from time to time. think of korea as our host and us foreigners are guests. we're here to experience a new culture that differs from ours and sometimes, we might not know exactly what is expected from us which can lead us to feeling homesick but knowing there are countless foreign idols like us definitely makes me feel better.

๐• ๐–ค YAZHU โธƒโธƒ
I feel you.

๐• ๐–ค IROHA โธƒโธƒ
but to our korean fans, please stay patient with us!! we love you but we're still humans after all!
