Thank you Aaron's Aunt for taking care of Aaron and the other Nu'est members😊❤

[@bichen-up-ur]

I would love to hear an episode on maintaining friendships and social relationships.

[@KOREANCOWBOYS]

what an interesting idea! thanks for sharing. please feel free to add on more specifics/ideas to this! yeeEehaw!

[@bichen-up-ur]

@KOREANCOWBOYS hmm…describing how moving to Korea affected your friendships back home, how you formed new ones, maintaining friends when things got busy or tough.

[@jinkookstanbts1887]

@@KOREANCOWBOYS Not sure if it is ok to ask there. But what do Idols whose groups break off do? what options do they have and are there successful examples/ unsuccessful examples

[@tatyanarogachova2775]

Should I make a conclusion that only rich people can afford to become idols because they have passive income to support themselves

[@amethyst_d]

This wasn't new information but I got so annoyed all over again about how poorly you were both treated as trainees/idols. It's really disgraceful. If you don't eat properly your health suffers and you can't work so the fact that companies don't ensure trainees/idols eat properly is ridiculous I'm so happy you are both in a much better position now financially. And Joel's right Aron, you need to eat good food too!!!! Thanks all three of you for this episode - I really enjoyed it!

[@youknowaverlyn]

LMAOOO I'm laughing so hard from Joel calling Aaron's dad by his full name at 19:51

긍정적인 마인드 좋아요 🙏🤠🤠 감사합니다!

[@rsrj2991]

Aaron was like aww he's getting emotional, but Joel was nah, I almost choked on my spit. What I was really trying to tell them was to subscribe or else... 👿😅 On a serious note, this was such a good episode. I appreciate you guys being open to sharing your struggles. It makes those of us who are currently struggling feel less alone and encouraged, so thank you for that! ❤🤠

[@mariealiza21]

As much as I don’t like Koreaboo, but them covering this topic and this video and seeing a lot of supportive comments from people is actually nice. And it’d inevitably put KCB more in the spotlight. Im glad either way, cause every episode seemed to be chill and entertaining no matter if it’s just Joel and Aaron duo or with a guest

[@umulkarimah1001]

Thanks a lot to make "Finance" eps becomes reality. I actually have requested this topic for so long...but perhaps ofc both you guys dont have specific knowledge about this, like you were not confident. However we can see that talking about finance based on experiences as idols turned to be really interesting eps. I always curious about how Aaron managed finance as idol since he admitted that he got scolded for spending millions on game (one time), another time Jonghyeon said Aaron would spend money for clothes annually..he'd be like buying one time for the rest of the year...and much earlier before, on MA he spent a lot in food...and ofc from Heyoon eps, Aaron said he has this question "why this world runs on money?..and so on"... so i'm always curious ... and now he is self-managed so there might be changes. I saw video this morning, people who get average salary in Seoul even dont dream about having a house or a car anymore because everything just too expensive even coffee, lunch, and taxi...just work to pay rent month by month and save for pension. I think this long comment proves my enthusiasm about "money talk". Thanks a lot KCB, please be confident with what you are doing. I think everyone will start this week highly-spirited because this eps really encouraged us. Bye 🥰!

[@canice0521]

I really love this episode & it’s really nice to have this podcast style back. Thank you for listening to us ♥️. Kwak papa’s name Taeyoung Kwak sounds so nice. Thank you Kwak papa sister for giving Aaron allowance too 🫶🏻. And I love how Aaron share the allowance like buying food for the members instead of just using it for himself. Really love their connections.. I miss Nu’est so much. I really hope Joel & Aaron will earn lotsa money. Please give them lotsa jobs 😖 And Aaron please consider Fan meeting in Bangkok or Taiwan too ~ 🫣

It has been a while since this kind of topic-based podcast, I really love hearing Aaron and Joel sharing your experience and thoughts which are inspiring. I also love how the idea/topic of this episode came from an interview episode. Looking forward to meeting different guests and hearing your thoughts on different topics through KCB. Love you💜

[@kensweetvenom29]

I am more like Joel when it comes to borrowing and lending money

[@ivy_with.u]

Joel's "official" voice at the beginning kinda had me holding my breath for a sec lol But yes, yes, yes, subscribe, comment, like, share, just do everything you guysss~

[@user-hp4tc2wu8c]

아론아 말하기 어려웠을 텐데 솔직하게 말해줘서 고마워

[@laurice4688]

Sad story but very inspiring… i love joel’s thinking about lending money…

[@koushisugawara9254]

Welcome back Podcast Podcast (?)!! This is such an interesting topic I’m 2 minutes in and very seated!

[@KOREANCOWBOYS]

Buckle up!!! 🤠

[@reverie6034]

The thought of my precious Joel and Aaron having such a hard time broke my heart. That’s just not ok but I’m so proud and happy for both of you doing so well now. That shows what intelligence, talent and dedication can get you in life. If you’re taking requests I’m interested in history maybe the history of kpop or music in Korea would be interesting? Do whatever you want though. I will always watch ❤

[@sunnysouthpaw]

While I do enjoy the guests, I missed these kinds of codpast episodes. 😅 I tend to be like Aaron when lending money, and I hate asking others for money too. Its such a sensitive subject and kudos to you two for being willing to talk about it on your podcast as much as you did. I agree with another commenter about maintaining friendships as an idol would be an interesting topic in the future. 😊

[@amugonajr9296]

Thank you, i enjoyed the content. It relates, as previously in my younger days i also can be considered broke. Hahaha. So i kind have similar mindset like you guys.

[@puyalissara]

You, guys, are so cool. Thank you for sharing. For me... Thank to my family, so I've never had a broke day. However, when I have to consider the path that I have to walk, such as major, university, work, etc. I always choose the path that spend less and gain more, even if sometimes it's not what I like. But I keep trying my best. I always spend on things that I can afford without debt unless really necessary. Luckily that I'm able to be happy by appreciating minimal things around me and not putting myself comparing with others.

[@mrsamsung8503]

love the ep! ❤ be more active in other sns such as tiktok + ig! lots of people are in there scrolling around 😂

[@KOREANCOWBOYS]

So true! Maybe we'll start posting our shorts on there too! 🤠 thanks for bring this up!

[@lucyfiona9739]

Saw you guys on Korean Pizza Club and really enjoyed your content! You both seem so authentic and give interesting insight on your experiences and goals.

[@VIXX_NUEST_SEVENTEEN]

I'd like to hear some talks about "shipping" in kpop. like, how far do the company get involved with what the members do? does it have any impact on schedules, like which pair or duo or group they need to send for a program? which members are paired, do they get to choose by themselves or do the company have a say in it? etc..

Sweet Aunt ❤ Also, if Aaron gets the means to purchase a property, I hope he starts with purchasing apartments for passive income and use the generated income to buy more and produce F money. 😂 May our cowboys own vast lands in the future~ ❤

[@redchen3682]

I really want to keep listening and support these guys, but I noticed a bit of restraint in sharing their personal experiences. Thus, it sounded like they are talking about things in general. I wish they could be more candid and straightforward on their experiences. I was drawn to subscribe for insights into their idol life, but I guess as long as they are still idols, they are limited on what they can and can't talk about. Just my personal expectation adjusting here. Looking forward to future episodes!

[@manasatunamanie]

Is there any people who have habit lending money to people? whyyyyyy... Seriously? Borrow I know, but lending? Unless that person get more than the amount money that they lend, so can understand.. Or if u say for people who unable to say No, then I know that would be me. I still say no sometime but I would feel guilty and need my friend to reasoning back to me, it's ok to say no, bla bla bla.. damn but out of 10 ppl ask borrow money, 9 I would say yes.. 😭😭😭 the 1 that I can say no, bc he haven't pay old money yet. and there also time that i know i would not getting back my money, but i still give it. 😭 And yes I agree with Aaron, if you get the money back, it's the best feeling ever. Ur friend still there n u know u can trust him. Broke my trust once, bye bye

[@yolandaroque8035]

Many people will think that because they are idols they have not gone through a day and situations in the entire trajectory of being idols and more difficult in Korea when everything at the beginning of their career is not prosperous.Profit to the company and have to seek help from relatives not like in the united state it is very different thank you for letting us know how is the lifestyle and the cost in finances love amazing ❤💋🫶🫰💯🌎
