My boyfriend joined me in watching this interview and said, "He's very well-spoken and thoughtful with his answers." Johnny has always had a way with his words. I love how he's able to clearly express himself!

[@april4149]

OMG yass

[@mangelixz1]

I was thinking the same! Like , i get why in the fashion show he was able to talk to so many artists! He has a very good speech and manners

[@petronellamukumbuta1882]

I noticed that and I'm so impressed

[@Shakeitupsteph]

@@mangelixz1 Indeed! I love how articulate he is. He also went with the flow and is good at keeping the conversation going!

Finally 😭💚💚💚

[@julieanndl]

Always wanted to see Johnny, Mark, Jaehyun & Ten together in this show - also in Get Real. But having a Johnny solo, SOOOO SOOO GOOD. I got to see more of him, and just him 💗

[@kiwigirl2273]

Yooo, seeing the foreign swaggers together on the show would be aweeeesome

[@thenoobalmighty8790]

Who are these people??? Are they some sort of band or something like bts?

Yeah i wanted to see them together too with yangyang also...gonna make just an incredible interview with Eric ✨

[@user-re5ir9pv2p]

11:55 this is one of the rare times to see Johnny this vulnerable and open about sharing his concerns.. behind the strong, confident, funny and witty persona there's a just an ordinary kid that anybody can relate to. thank you Johnny for believing in yourself and the pple around you, and most importantly for not giving up.

[@rachela3869]

Johnny and Eric are the most calm, chill guys to get together and have a conversation ever. They are both funny, but so chill.

[@tdelioncourt1268]

Yes! I love the energy here!

[@aleiaabdl]

52 minutes of pure johnny suh. I genuinely love how he articulates himself, his outlook in life. Somehow he can just convince you to be more confident in your own skin and to look at the positive things in life. He has that ability to make you feel so safe. I need more platforms for him to speak. Thank you Eric for inviting him. ❤️

[@starlight8554]

I’ve always thought this but I think Johnny would make a really good friend. He’s so introspective and well-spoken and he listens really well too. He seems so easygoing and chill. He actually acts his age and it’s really charming.

[@eljen18]

It's nice that Johnny was able to "rant" to Eric. It must be difficult to be one of the eldest nct members and no one to confide with.😔 Eric is such a good senior and hyung to him.💚

[@needyverse]

Hearing Johnny explain how learning Korean when he was in middle-school still impacts his personality when speaking Korean makes SO MUCH SENSE. He really does have natural aegyo, and he gets SO OFFENDED when he tries babygirl/maknae vibes and his younger members don’t approve 😂 It also reeeeally helps further explain his adorable relationship with his only hyung, Taeil 🥺🥲

[@princessemisery]

Taeil and Johnny chemistry makes so much more sense after reading this.. I just figured Taeil and Doyoung were his biases for some other reason but this really makes sense

[@nctzen3to3]

The moment of Johnny talking about debating going to college but ultimately ending up still trying for debut because he felt needed by people was so sweet and genuine.

[@kathleenstocker8617]

Johnny, the intellect....his answers, his wit, his speech, his confidence, just being his natural self has and is a pleasure. His Aura just makes nctzens feel so comfortable and proud of him. 💚❤

[@californicazia]

Johnny immediately saying Ten when Eric said “knows 5 different languages” damn I suddenly miss JohnTen 😭

[@MsTrippity]

Johnny's long SM back story shows the agency does have plans for long-time trainees like him. Really appreciate how Mama Suh also made sure he had a balanced childhood, finishing school before formal training. ❤❤❤

[@clandestinecoherence]

i love johnnys honesty about his trainee days. it must have been so hard. we are thankful you debuted and are a part of nct ♡

[@michellelim5960]

I really love these type of podcasts and when English kpop stars actually do interviews in English. It may be just me but these type of interviews are so much more raw, authentic, and relatable. Like I've been a czennie for a few years now and this is the most personal I think I've seen Johnny express out of every interview he's done in the past. It's nice to see their more human side rather than always asking them to do aegyo and shit. I hope they can bring Mark into this next 1 on 1.

[@ailuria]

i’m replying late but i also noticed it’s because we get to see more of their personality through their english. like i mean through nuances in speech, word choice, and small things like that which we aren’t able to catch onto when they speak korean (because we don’t understand it lol). mistranslations through subtitles happens all the time and i feel like we miss out on a lot of witty stuff idols say because it’s difficult to translate it in english. whereas with english speaking idols, we can catch onto everything. and yeah i wish more korean interviews were more personal because it’s much more endearing getting to learn more about idols beyond the surface level aegyo and mbti lol

[@femmebrulee5053]

It's interesting that no one has tried to cast Johnny in an acting role in any shows in Korea. I feel like he has great potential for that. Like, he checks at the boxes for acting.

[@Kristina-ov8ur]

“People has this need to be needed” I felt that in my COREE whewww. I have a new found love and respect for Johnny after watching this and I learned more about him too🥹💚

[@whitenight8622]

Johnny has such a presence that it's impossible to not be smitten. (Also, it's interesting how he inadvertently revealed the members' personality traits playing the pick the person game.)

[@princessemisery]

Speaking of Smitten the last question I believe was somewhat difficult because Doyoung and Taeil are his biases just like they are my Wreckers (Johnny is my bias), their interactions seem so pleasant. He’s really smitten.

[@ayml0701]

I really like Johnny’s personality. At first he seems so intimidating but the more I watch videos of him, he seems so nice and with the way he interacts with NCT members, he’s always supportive and generous to give compliments.

[@geo7619]

Why Asian American in KPOP are the most outspoken, strong personality, independent minded, self-motivated, sociable friendly, family oriented with co-workers, great speaker's, motivational speaker, lovely, open-minded,

[@Mariajbh2]

I don't think it's like that

[@Marie_mars]

Its because of the environment they grow up in...An environment that allows them to be mentally, socially, emotionally and physically expressive.

[@Mariajbh2]

@@Marie_mars What environment is that? Nor Korea nor America is like that

Or you are biased, and think that American behavior and mindset is above the others…

Johnny nct member, Johnny actor, Johnny model and Johnny DJ !!! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU JOHNNY

[@livefortomorrow221]

Johfams, we made it - an solo hour long episode with Johnny. I've been waiting for Johnny to appear on dive, so i'm glad it finally happened. Also, i'm glad Eric and Johnny are friends they seem to click well.

[@daungdaungsoe3899]

I love seeing Johnny's interviews and how he answers qns. He doesn't rush through or give superficial answers just for the sake of answering. He takes his time to think. He's sincere, witty, funny and always keeps the conversation interesting. Yet he didn't overtake the whole convo, he gave time for Eric to express and share, it was a 2 way convo and I can see both seriously enjoyed it. Thank u for having Johnny!

[@alienphernelia5367]

i love johnny so much you don't get it

[@karinamecca11]

Johnny is very composed, cool but grounded, fun but also well articulated. This is just such a comfort episode. Can't wait for bigger and brighter things ahead of him!

[@markleeundercover]

Thanks for having Johnny on the show. I've always loved watching his interviews, both group and solo ones. He's funny, charismatic, witty and knows how to handle questions. His way of speaking and presenting himself is just so mesmerizing, def one of the reasons I became an nctzen 💚

[@EbbermanEmily]

It really hit close to home when he said "There were people that want me here, so it's not like I've been doing something wrong the whole time." just that feeling of unsureness and feeling like you just can't get it right, along with all the questions and doubts you have within yourself is really relatable esp rn so it made me extra emotional. I'm really glad those feelings made it through to him and inspired him to keep going, cause being able to see Johnny is such a blessing

[@avocadream1]

I'm so happy for him and thank you for having him. As a Johfam, this is my first time hearing him talk this long. It's purely him. All the focus is him which is rare when he works with 20 people. I get to know different aspects of johnny. It just proved that I stan the right person

[@rocacore]

13:07 I've been a johfam since the moment i started to stan nct, and i genuinely cant even imagine him not debuting, not being an idol, johnny has such a powerful and exciting presence on stage. I'm glad he decided to try one more time and it makes me excited to what he has for the future!

[@lavienat.7169]

I love when Johnny speaks English so much. He’s so charming and charismatic. I hope that he’s have own podcast someday. Thank you Dive studios for inviting Johnny ❤

[@gredhilchavez2345]

I would love that.. he has such a calming and beautiful voice.. and his way of thinking and express is just perfect for a podcast

[@samanthagoh1294]

Thanks for having this! Johnny is one of the humblest & sincerest k-pop idols who I ever observe, not to mention his friendliness & professionality 😊

[@rayavale1060]

Sometimes i forget Johnny is really mature like he is very good showing is goofy and funny side but seeing how he understands life and work is very impressive

[@cyannaashanti182]

The show Johnny was talking about at 9:38 was DEFINITELY Smallville. That's so cute. I love that for him 😭 He's a 95 baby who grew up in the 00s fr (samesies)

[@ridiridisilly]

YES SMALLVILLE!!!

[@miyainthegoldenhour]

I loved Smallville. I still remember WB before it was the CW as well lol

[@hippiecolor]

UPN!!! Smallville was amazing!

[@shan795]

Hearing/watching them talking is so interesting. It feels like a two friends catching up together and not just doing it for promotion. Johnny is so well spoken and very thoughtful. You'll never get tired of hearing him talk. He could be one of the co host of DIVE.

[@hannalovespink]

SM needs to give that man a raise AND MORE LINES

[@justtrynalive]

Johnny seems like a really chill guy to be friends with

[@itacv8185]

this was so great. Johnny is just so charismatic but also inviting. even when hes being confident and silly it doesn't feel like he has a superiority complex. I really want Johnny to host a radio show again but I would also love to see him on more episodes of the daebak show if possible and omg if you can please also interview taeyong.

[@glaides1]

First of all, THANK YOU so much for having Johnny on the show. I loved it so much. Secondly, the Superman show he mentioned was “Smallville.” Johnny was only 6-11 years old when it first aired which makes sense bc he mentioned aspiring to be on TV in 2nd grade.

[@oldalonedunfore]

Yes!!! Immediately I thought about that show that’s so cool to know

[@holymolymej]

Yes, it was definitely Smallville!

[@ismdejour]

yes! how could he forget the "somebody saaaaaaave meeeee"

[@shxna]

I am quite taken with Johnny. He is interesting, not over the top, speaks clearly and is honest. So refreshing to hear him speak without much monitoring and boundaries. I'm looking forward to Johnny's and the rest of NCT's activities. 💚

[@aesomii]

some of the stuff i knew prior after being a nct fan for years BUT hearing it from johnny himself, going over his timeline, and being able to openly speak about it is so much different. i enjoy seeing more sides of the members on and off the stage, its nice to see their personalities shine through the cracks little by little on camera. super happy johnny was able to come onto dive studios

[@vbbyg]

Johnny is so cool, he is always so gentle and funny, i really love that he has such a good affinity with everyone

[@karinamecca11]

It's so nice to see Johnny in this setting, being casual, talking, and with Eric! Thank you so much for inviting him

[@mayadee14]

Johnny.. beyond his laughter, his jokes, his loud screams, he is super gentle n very soft. Still savage n gorgeous. My forever crush!

[@bluemoon22]

As I gradually get to know NCT 127, I realize that they are very down-to-earth and sincere people. I love seeing all sides of Johnny and Eric as always asking great questions. I loved the whole interview.

[@princessemisery]

19:56 definitely watched Freaky Handshake. Johnny was absolutely in his Director collaboration era. The man is so talented. It was fun. But also love the Johnny /Mark chemistry. Everything they’ve done together = gold

[@afiqahzaidi436]

Eric is so positive. I love that side of him. Above all, I am so proud with all the patience Johnny had to be on top of his career now. I want you to know that you are outstanding, Johnny 🤍

[@milkyella8038]

Johnny is so eloquent. It’s so calming to hear him talk 🥹

[@gredhilchavez2345]

This two man talking is so entertaining.. the chemistry they have is so cool.. could've watch at least 2 more hours of a show with them just talking.. the way Johnny talk and express himself is just so calm and kind of wholesome

[@aewfy]

Johnny is so well spoken and put together, his voice is calming besides his unique personality

[@Andrea_Juarez]

*talking about freaky handshake* Eric: I’ve not seen this Johnny: DONT I laughed so hard 😂 Thanks for having Johnny on the show! I loved hearing everything Johnny had to say!

[@anakirola9204]

Johnny is the real deal. JoFam is here for Johnny. I remember when Yuta, Johnny and Mark went to Chicago the first time and they left Mark in the parking lot lol. I think Johnny also was a dj in an Amber and Luna video Heartbeat at a festival? He is my NCT 127 bias.

[@tdelioncourt1268]

He did he is also featured on a Station song as a DJ.

the ghost convo at the end was so funny! Johnny and Eric together was a mix I didn't think I needed it until I watched it, Johnny's so well spoken and funny at the same time, wish we'd have more opportunities to see Johnny on interviews like this one. Also, Thank you Eric for making Johnny feel comfortable (at least it looks like it hehe). Can't wait to see DJ Johnny and Eric's new music!

OMG!! I clicked on this so fast. Thank u already so much for having Johnny on the show. I'm so excited to watch this 🥰❤️

[@yukasketch]

the SPEED with wich Johnny picked Haechan over Mark was stunning 😂 my man didn't stop to think not even for a second 😂🤣 but I get exactly what he means. Mark just goes with the flow and lets someone lead the way while Hachan has no trouble making decisions and taking a lead of the situation, traveling with him would be definetly easier (depending on your own personality too ofc)

thank you for having johnny on the show! so pleased to watch 52-minutes talks with Johnny that rarely to be found. Johnny has been such inspirational person in my life and my endeavor. He's very well-spoken, charismatic, and knows how to handle his surroundings thoughtfully, he's beyond a kpop idol, that's what makes me fall in love with him. anyways, thank you so much for Johnny, Eric, and the team. I hope I can see another round of you both, Eric and Johnny, having a collaboration like this!

[@RahmaZp]

This is the most serious conversation I ever saw from all of Daebak Show episodes. I never saw Johnny speak so deep before. It's like seeing a different Johnny, not idol-Johnny, and just Johnny. It's good, it's new. Also, I'm curious what they are talking about before this podcast, like they must talk about a lot of things. 😅😅😅

[@usinu9771]

Johnny is so down to earth man. There’s really no other kpop idol like him. We get to see a vulnerable and an even more relatable side to him in this. Props to Eric for being so chill and providing such a comfortable setting.

[@czenniebagel]

I've always wanted Johnny to be an actor in a really hit movie, Korean or Hollywood no kidding his image and skills are suited for the actor role in a rom-com or even historical films or series. I want him to be known by all kdrama fans and crazy about him 😆Actor Johnny when?!!

[@alekaonu]

I enjoy watching this episode very much due to because it's Johnny. And also his compatibility with Eric. Eric is one of my fave solo singers for a long time now. NCT is one of my ultimate bias group since 2016. Looking at Johnny here double confirm what I have thought all along......his features are more to American instead of Asian. Handsome Johnny. I hope to see more of Johnny in shows like this. Love to hear him speaking in English. And looking forward to his Fashion activities in the future and DJing too.

[@mariafernandabalderas7709]

[@lululu9502]

I really love this video because it's the most well-interviewed Johnny video that I've ever seen on KZbin. I mean, he has been featured in several videos before, but those videos only talked about his group or SM-related things. I just want a video that focuses on Johnny and I think it's the thing that I wanted.

[@forevera5241]

The reasoning he gave between Haechan and Mark had me thinking this's probably a contributing factor to why they clashed during their younger years and why they're a rock for one another now.

[@sinkingonblue]

johnny is the type of person who adapts easily, it would be a pleasure to be friends with him, love you johnny and thank u dive studios 🎙️

Thank you for having the One and only Johnny Suh, was really a nice interview/nice talk I really enjoyed. And I really hope Johnny will have the opportunity to show us more of him, maybe Johnny as an actor in the future and as he said more of him as a DJ, his own music and more. I'm so proud of everything you are doing and the things you will do it Johnny 💚
