(G)I-DLE | HEAT, Queencard, I Do, Creative Process

[@enanarea]

they are one of the most important artist in kpop from being self-produced, to talking about self-confidence, and female empowerment. i’m very disappointed zach clearly skipped his research this time.

[@atikahamy4125]

LOUDER!!

[@lem5959]

!!!! So true

[@aPAULogies8o8]

I would fail as an interviewer to them because I'd be too starstruck 😅

[@bpiya8743]

It really sucks because as a Blink I want so badly for groups to have a similar interview style as Blackpink or even Stray Kids. I was disappointed in his SB19 interview, confusing names and seeming just overall VERY disinterested. I wonder if at a certain point he just stopped caring :\

[@bpiya8743]

revisiting this a month later. it's so interesting that his interest stopped around the same time the algorithm changed and the views stopped pouring in.

[@Am-xm3si]

This is by far the WORST interview the girls had. He looked completely uninterested, asking bland questions, it felt rushed and forced, like he's done just because he was obligated to it

[@neverland2.0]

I am so disgusted by the way he asked questions to the girls.. Short and seems uninterested. While (G)I-dle actively and cheerfully answers all his bland questions.

[@produccionop5051]

just like that, i thought it wasonly me

[@HallwaysOfTime]

Brother did not do his homework with this one. He sounds way top serious in this video, and seems to be more interested in asking questions rather than responding to answers and creating a comfortable mood.

[@I-DLEneververSVTcaratULTkpoppy]

So everyone did feel the awkward atmosphere huh. Imagine how the girls would have felt when we are feeling this much uncomfortable just through a screen. I was really excited about this interview and pretty sure the girls were too but it's so sad to acknowledge that this might actually be their worst U.S interview so far. It's even more disappointing cuz we all know that Zach usually is a good and friendly host who's much more capable than this but he just completely under-performed this time. I think it was basic manners as a host to have done a little research about them prior to the interview and OF COURSE have checked out "I DO"(Soyeon's expression at 12:13🥲). We, as fans are very disappointed with this interview so, hope he does another interview with (G)I-DLE cuz they deserve SOO much more than this 💯 Girls, u did great and we love the "Heat" album so much! Neverlands always with you!💜 FIGHTING!

[@atikahamy4125]

Agreed! Like we all know how nice Zach was with other guest but this time is so different. Zach just make me dont like him anymore. As a fan of this show I really disappointed (not fan anymore i guess)

[@richyeatsworld]

HAHAHA i was thinking the same thing, I bet they left not saying anything good

[@hannshu]

could have done the research more properly so you'd discover that (g)i-dle is fully self-produced group, who are very passionate about their craft. and all their success that they earned, while being in non-big4 agency, during years is only thanks to themselves

[@TheDanken07]

They aren't promoting their self produced songs here. They are promoting Heat, which is not written/composed or arranged by them

[@hannshu]

@@TheDanken07 it's not what I'm talking about, but okay

[@smiteo]

but they asked the group about their process when producing songs. yes theyre promoting an EP they didnt produce but it's literally (g)i-dle's image to be a 100% self-produced group that's why they get asked questions about it. the point was interviewers should already know a lot about that.@@TheDanken07

[@wesseldejonge4789]

​@@TheDanken07 But Zach was not asking about HEAT, but GIDLE previous productions, he literally was asking question about their song creating process. And thats the point GIDLE are not there to talk about their previous songs, but talk about HEAT, and if the host havent even listened to their title song I DO, then you havent put any effort in it, that was the point. its embarrassing that GIDLE had to explain the entire video to ZACH.

[@Jeonssosassistant]

The girls still smiled though it all.

[@ENGRtube]

This Zach guy seriously has no idea he has one of the most talented and creative groups in the history of kpop, (G)I-dle, sitting there. Soyeon is a literal icon at this point and buddy is just like "Oh wait, do you produce your own music..? cool." Soyeon is a record breaking, cultural defying history making idol in the industry. You'd never tell because she is so quiet in English interviews but COME ON you didn't do any research or hear of (G)I-dle before this?

[@atikahamy4125]

Yup! Soyeon literally the most respectful idol/leader/mentor/writer/producer in korean currently. Even she was honor by her senior in kpop industries

[@EstefanixRox]

Big3 fan energy

[@neverland2.0]

LOUDER !

[@ENGRtube]

@@EstefanixRox Facts, he probably only knows of Blackpink, BTS and Twice and assumes thats what the whole genre has to offer

[@johnnyto4812]

kinda feels like he's tired of interviewing kpop groups lol

[@l0i6z1a0]

I'm so sorry for the girls, this is their first promotion in America, and the interviewer didn't even find information about them! Why are you inviting without showing interest? At least you have to be a professional!! The girls are great, they tried to bring this interview to an end, but it's so sad to watch. I love and support (G)I-DLE! ❤

[@lem5959]

•́ ‿ ,•̀ so awkward and sad to watch

[@tropesep]

i hope this guys realizes he's interviewing some of the most talented anf passionate artists in the industry

[@aaroneduardo9897]

(G)I-DLE is one of the most diverse groups out there. Their Korean work is self-written, self-produced, and have some of the best comeback concepts out there, such as HWAA, Oh My God, Hann, Tomboy.. Please have them back with more time.

[@smiteo]

i'm so proud of (g)i-dle and i love this new EP that i was so excited when i heard they're coming here. i waited for the ep on spotify but imagine my confusion and disappointment when the energy was so much lower than i expected. although the girls did a great job trying to lighten up the mood and trying not to make it 100% awkward, it's not effective when the other party doesn't look like they're in the right state to show the same enthusiasm. i hope we get a second interview with this group, with zach in his usual enthusiastic self.

[@Wojtackic]

It's crazy how he's asking the most basic questions that everyone finds out with one google search, you don't have to be a die hard fan to know these things

[@jaxonfaxin]

i know right?! instead of asking what it's like to perform in U.S for the first time, or at least asking how they're doing, his first question was what does the name mean?

[@rithtrbl]

actually so disappointed considering zach is one of the few radio interviewers who asks deep and thought provoking questions to his guests, but he completely missed the mark this time. (g)i-dle is such a gem of a group. you could’ve asked the foreign line about adjusting to a new country, about competing on queendom as a rookie group, the whole production process, their willingness to stand against patriarchy, or their overall success in korea despite not coming from a large agency. what a missed opportunity.

[@lem5959]

Tbh This is by far the WORST interview the girls had. He looked completely uninterested, asking bland questions, it felt rushed and forced, like he's done just because he was obligated to it

[@96wlf]

So sad that he only got excited at the end of the interview :( i was missing this the whole time. But love the girls as always, Soyeon’s story about producing was so interesting. She really loves her craft. ❤️

[@oohEuphoria]

He is a stoner.

[@whoislalala]

This feels so off. Like I know for a fact Zach usually researches and creates a comfortable environment for the people he is interviewing. I don't know if this happened last minute or what but I feel like more effort was needed for this interview. G-idle gave really good answers and tried their best to make it less awkward. I hope at least that Zach is okay because he does seem tired.

[@tonyjung2644]

I love the way Yugi and Minnie, talk for the group. Too bad Zach doesn’t know how to try and interact with all of them. Getting the other girls speak broken English is better than sitting there trying to look interested. It would be nice to see Shu and Miyeon join in because I think they have lots to add, maybe next time. These ladies are the kickass K-pop idols I like too see.

[@moiaena]

I'm so sorry but I have never seen Zach seem so disinterested/tired/not smiling before. Did something happen? Because I really love the girls, consider myself a fan and I was super excited when I saw this on my notifications... But I'm rather sad, because not even their friendliness could save the mood. Either way I'm glad they went there; I'm very proud and happy for them. Ps. Zach was very kind as always and yes, at the end he did smile and showed them appreciation. But still, something was off; I hope whatever happened or if it was just a bad day, that it got better.

[@msccb1314]

I totally agree. I saw that this podcast was coming out and got really excited, since Zach's interviews are generally really entertaining and enjoyable - with a good amount of depth that he is able to bring out with very insightful questions. Even though there is generally a bit of a language barrier with K-pop groups, I have seen the other podcasts he has done with other groups and it never really seems to matter. I was a bit disappointed, since something seemed way off. It felt like the questions Zach was asking were very curt and completely lacked any of the enthusiasm that I usually love seeing. I don't know. It was still fun seeing the girls in this context and it really seemed like they were trying to enjoy themselves as well, and the thoughts Soyeon shared about her producing process were really interesting to hear. It was unfortunate because the interview just fell a bit flat and felt like a missed opportunity to present (G)i-dle in a different, deeper and more dynamic way. No hate to Zach at all, as I said, I really enjoy his podcasts and really think he is one of the best interviewers out there at the moment - which is the only reason I was a bit confused after watching this.

[@facethebass]

I don't think he's disinterested, I think he's focused on his questions. Remember they are not English and while two members may speak English he still has to be sensitive to body language and intonation.

[@xex872]

I thought i was the only one who felt that, not familiar with Zach so i thought maybe that's how he is with everyone. Maybe he is tired. As a person who has seen how lively these girls can get in interviews and why i enjoy watching them, this might be the first time i felt some low energy watching. But I'm happy they where here, no big deal. Great job to Zach aswell.

[@IvonneCuevas27]

You're Right! There was a part of the interview where Zach was not that excited, and I thought he was gonna ask about the process of choosing the songs, with those writers and producers, because there are Big names there, I mean, I was expecting Meghan and his brother's name here in the talk, the genres, and ask questions to each members, or their plans in the future, the solos they've been putting out, etc 😢. He usually does it, but i don't know what happened this times.

[@Jeonssosassistant]

I agree

[@guccimanna3]

[@bangs7769]

These women are legendary, one in a million especially in the KPOP industry that is so heavily monitored and controlled. Moreover, so many young men and especially women are looking up to (G)I-DLE calling them their role models, in an industry where women never had the opportunity to write their own music and create their own craft because of prejudice and a controlled environment, Soyeon especially has broken down so many walls and shattered glass ceilings that opens eyes to unseen talent. So many other artists have called (G)I-DLE a group of inspiring women, Purple Kiss, Weeekly and Stayc just to name a few have all said how they want to pick up songwriting and producing because they have seen the magic that the (G)irls have created. (G)I-DLE is an excellent example of an industry-defining group, a group we may never see again until a long long time. (G)I-DLE make magic and they are clearly proud of every track they produce it is seen in their performances, and their ability to plan an album/ep or even an entire era like Soyeon has done. These women are so creative and powerful that they often get called snobbish and arrogant for just being proud. (G)I-DLE have stated that they are a group for everyone, they have fans across all age brackets and little girls are looking up to them and aspiring to be like them, confident, brave and self-assured even if the event of failure and rejection may come along. Honestly, there were so many selling points about (G)I-DLE you could have used in this interview to talk about so many and I have just barely touched the surface, if you did a little research, especially for your audience they could have seen that there is much more to them than just having good pop songs. It is a little disappointing how people constantly call (G)I-DLE an underrated, game-changing, industry-changing group, especially in a country like South Korea, making back-to-back anthems about empowerment and self-confidence. Then there is no talk about it when the absolute perfect opportunity arises? Yes, it is great to hear about their production but there was barely any of that, there was no research on anything personal about (G)I-DLE. Heck, you didn't even watch the music videos? Based on other comments you are a great interviewer and a great interviewer shouldn't pick and choose when to be great especially when gold comes into your hands. GOLD.

[@SirJCM22]

Zach kept asking like "what was it about?" and really had no idea about their songs. (I Do and Queencard) And this part of the interview Minnie: Have you seen the music video? Zach: I have to really watch it. Damn! So embarrassing for the interviewer, not seeing their "art" or "craft" in advance just to have an idea of the music they make.

[@ShadowIsMoi]

[@pxtheticfxllxcy]

Yeah I agree. He was definitely disrespectful in this interview. I’ve seen a lot of his interviews and he usually is quite positive, expressive and takes time to appreciate the individuals in front of him (take blackpink for example). But here he is giving one word answers, terrible questions, clearly he didn’t watch the music video. Soyeon explained she produces, writes and mixes everything and he basically brushed over it like it was nothing? Whereas he seems to give other people (*cough* US chart topping individuals and friends) really interesting questions and shows his appreciation. A very disappointing interview from Zack. Plus his blunt short answers and monotonous vibe gave the impression he was bored of them. So disappointing.😊

​@@pxtheticfxllxcy Tbh I think BP kind of ruined the interviews for other idols on this show. They were very nervous, awkward, and gave shallow airheaded answers to all of his questions.

There are journalists in South Korea who would sell their families to be able to interview her and her genius brain.

IMAGINE DOING AN INTERVIEW TO A POPULAR AND TALENTED GROUP LIKE (G)I-IDLE FOR PROMOTIONS OF THEIR ALBUM AND THEY HAVE TO ASK YOU THIS 12:11 AND EXPLAIN TO YOU THEIR SONG, EVEN THO IS IN THE ALBUM THEY CAME TO YOUR SHOW TO PROMOTE TT_TT homeboy didn't even make his homework

😢

[@queenning28]

What a wasted opportunity. Gidle is one of the few Kpop groups that deserve a two-hour-long interview filled with in-depth questions about each and every member, especially the self-producing line Soyeon/Minnie/Yuqi. Imagine having an opportunity to interview some of the most independent and empowering female artists in Asia, only to treat them with ignorance and disinterest. This is just sad.

[@oxonataliieoxo7]

This exactly 😔 i was really expecting so much more

[@nomadfrost]

Never watched this guy before and you can't convince me to again, glad the comments confirmed what I thought was a very awkward, disinterested interview from the host. Very disrespectful.

[@ShadowIsMoi]

the girls: 😌😀☺️ zach: 🙃🥴😐

[@stefn2889]

Interviewer seems so disinterested...even the girls feel it. How can you not watch the MV to I Do before?

[@gifty0646]

He looks tired, this is unlike him so I hope he's good and gets a redo with the girls.

[@TunaSari-u2w]

Soyeonie, Kim Minnie, Miyeonie, Yuqiah, Shushu.... keep fighting, you are the best, still the best, your songs is lovely dan sooo unique no one can beat you...

[@IvonneCuevas27]

I'm glad they are here!!!! Love them and the album too.

[@atinydandelion]

This is very hard and uncomfortable to watch. The girls did great but the interviewer did so bad. The whole interview just feels off, the questions, the body language, the way he sits and the way he talks, the intonation and everything. I noticed this since Ateez interview, he did better there because he did some research but I still don't like the way he talks and sits. It's probably just a cultural thing but I just find it rude. I don't know if the interviewer was having a bad day or feeling under the weather that day but he should at least try to be professional and makes the girls feel welcome and comfortable. Their schedules are hectic too, and probably are more tired than the interviewer yet they don't show it and still smiling throughout the interview. All in all this is just a bad interview. Gidle deserves better.

yuqi and minnie are so good at english

[@judlg2938]

The only reason I given a like is for my girls, I’m not even going to mention the interview 😑 and I hope this guy next time is more profesional and do his research.

[@wonderingthru.2979]

i'm not their stan but I think in the idol world, these girls have got to be the only ones that have so much power in all aspects of their productions. In the 12 years that I've been consuming this genre, they are seriously the only group that has that level of control but i also think it's because their company went thru some drama and they were able to come out of that with more power in what they made. This interview was disappointing cause there was so much or more important things that could have been asked or explained.

[@midnighttrain7844]

My man almost fell asleep during the interview，he seems doesn't care about the interview at all lol wtf

[@giulianaleda]

It’s very simple, do some research before you interview someone. Idle always kind and smart, give these girls some good questions

[@blessysunil1556]

I was so excited for this interview, that is before it started. :/

[@sarahk2115]

I just watched the Jessi interview and it was pretty good, but Zach doesn't seem to know anything about this group or how to talk to them. I'm really glad Minnie and Yuqi took charge of the interview, making it better.

[@laurabraus]

This is really unusual for Zach to have this type of negative attitude. He really seemed uninterested or unhappy and I wonder if something personal happened behind the scenes, maybe even having to do with the studio change. He is usually so well researched and to not have even watched the MV for their newest single is really strange and unprofessional coming from Zach. The interview was also really short. I hope the girls have better interviews for this project they worked so hard on and maybe even another interview with Zach and Dan at a different time if the vibe is due to personal behind the scenes issues.

[@NegativePressure]

I hope we get an extra long interview with Idle when Zach isn't going thru whatever he is going through. He is a great interviewer so that's why this one is getting so many negative reactions. The quality didn't meet the previously set expectations.
