[@KOREANOWyna]

PART 2 of the interview!🌊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3zZiGqAgdeWhKs

[@MegOlano-o2s]

Ojalá que BTS les haga juicio por difamación, por subir noticias falsas y mal intencionadas

[@davinashin455]

We need more representation for people who are different fighting ❤

[@nikkasandoval3159]

As someone who knows ASL and worked as an interpreter I am so so excited for their debut!!! I hope this will show people that Deaf can do anything except hear!!!!!

[@Voileen]

and some of us can hear ... a little. haha! I'm Deaf but I have a cochlear implant on one side and a hearing aid on the other (Just like Hyun Jin!!) and have *some* level of hearing, it's just not great. haha! I'm super excited too!! I'm a teacher with some Deaf and HoH students and I'm going to show them this video on Mon.

[@aklimab7]

Deaf person here, I’m so glad to see deaf kpop group, definitely stanning them ❤

[@AprilSnowTheFadingSun]

Same. I’m partially deaf. In my left ear my hearing is low but my right ear it sounds like when people talk even in a normal voice they’re whispering even when they aren’t. I suffered many ear infections that helped lead to my hearing loss along with my right ear being worse since my brain rests lower on that side of my head. I am grateful to see things like this that make me feel a little bit better about myself

[@kimberlyvuong6396]

Hi my friend is deaf also ​@@AprilSnowTheFadingSun

[@tharitaanandaraman4138]

❤

[@aminqazimi4638]

ME TOOOOOOO Im partially deaf too my doctor told me I hear like a 90 yo person. First it was my right ear but now its both i'll definitely stan them

[@plushypudgypanda]

💕 I am absolutely excited for BIG OCEAN'S debut!! They are ALL total cutie pies and their incredible spirit and pure determination is truly beautiful and very heartwarming!! I am soooo happy that they have all pursued their dreams, overcoming obstacles, and are truly positive role models!! I can't wait to see BIG OCEAN on stage, they will be amazing!! Thank you for this wonderful interview and giving BIG OCEAN an opportunity to shine!! Your radiant smiles are pure sunshine!! 💕

[@angelacurtis4456]

Didn't think I'd be so excited to Stan another group as I'm a BTS fan, but you guys have made that possible just being your true selves. Waiting for your debut. Good luck guys. Best wishes from America.

[@btsforever1872]

Same but I wish them well.

[@beccal.5369]

💜Same here.... I think these boys encapsulate everything BTS stands for Love Yourself, Speak Yourself.... I wish them much success on their debut.

[@Lizille97]

I said the same thing and here I am. An ex ARMY who stans 20 groups and 3 solo singers.

[@Salua_deer1]

Thank you for being kind💗

[@anagrande302]

Thanks to RM, we got to see new talents ❤

[@sylviepastelle1459]

Best wishes from Canada.May all your dreams come true Big ocean!

[@virginia_the_elder]

Sign language is a beautiful language. I'm hopeful this group will enlighten the hearing and encourage others to get out there and show the world how wonderful it is to learn a new way to enjoy music and dance.

[@kaayleelynnn]

KSL

[@BugHwi]

4:02 Okay but that's actually pretty genius to have their phones and watches vibrate!!!

[@MultistanChantelle.]

I said no more stanning any more groups and I was doing well since March 6th, but I REALLY THINK that's gunna change on April 20th. 😅 Hyunjin is so cute. What makes them more interesting is because of the hearing impairments. The reason I clicked on this is because of that bit. Disabilities don't affect me and I would love to see some choreo or song chants with sign language in. 😍

[@Tytranisaurus]

I’m happy that having a hearing impairment that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re fully deaf is being seen as just as important now. As someone who only wears a hearing aid in their right ear too (like Hyun Jin!), I’ve had a lot of trouble throughout school with others not seeing it as a disability and refusing to help me with it. I hope this K-pop group helps show how important it is to see partial hearing loss as just as important as being fully deaf, no matter who the person is. Thank you so much for being here from now on BigOcean💙and helping so many people like me

[@denseflounder36sure26]

Hey! I'm a fellow right ear hearing aid user!

[@Tytranisaurus]

@@denseflounder36sure26 you are literally the 2nd person I’ve ever found who has a hearing aid in their right ear (Hyun Jin was first) 😭 I don’t understand why it’s soo hard to find people with partial hearing loss that require a hearing aid.

[@sakurakitana3087]

This is a Big Deal!! It's going to open up a New World for A lot of people!!😻💕

[@qqm63r]

chan yeon has the biggest brightest warmest smile i've ever seen🥺

[@alzbetakrejcova4749]

yesss, i agree 🥺🥺

[@beccal.5369]

So wonderful to finally see diversity in KPOP. I wish them every success 💜 Sending love from Australia FIGHTING 💜

[@TheProudWife515]

Beautiful...I really hope the best for them. My son is 24 years old and partially deaf: 100% deaf on his left ear and 45% hearing on his right side-I know how hard he worked to graduate from Veterinarian Medicine. We did not want him to get used to artificial hearing(it sounds selfish and cruel) but, I wanted him to decide for himself when he was old enough to chose it. So far he chooses not to because it's easier for him to just go-he says. It's funny because our son used to say that he feels like he hears moving water in his ears---Their group's name is "Big Ocean". I just forwarded this video to him and want to see what he thinks. I think these guys are amazing-- Break a leg-Guys❤❤❤

[@taranhayes5224]

I'm so excited for their debut! They're bringing something new and important to the industry, and their ADORABLE 빅오션 화이팅!

[@WhippedForJeonJungkook]

Great talents, wish them all the best, every success ❤

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Wish them well and they are showing everyone that you can achieve anything! The sky is the limit!

[@kivi9_9]

Hyun Jin's English melted my heart ㅠㅠ and the way Chan Yeon speaks is soooo adorable, he really is a cutie ㅠㅠㅠ I also love that Ji Seok was so confident in leading some of the conversation, I can already feel the oldest maknae energy! Guys, congratulations on your debut!

[@danaslitlist1]

I never thought I'd see the day when there were disabled idols! I've been a fan of kpop for almost 11 years and it's great to see others with disabilities on stage!

[@Uuu734jg]

i wish & hope for this group to be successful so much bcoz this group really have everything❤

[@luciana1930]

thank you for this heartwarming interview, I'm glad I found out about this group, they are wonderful, I will support them, good luck

[@queenraneea1025]

yes I'm so glad I came across them, will continue supporting them for now🥰🥰

[@irlandam11]

I found them through one of their TikTok lives and they are the sweetest I’m so excited for their debut they deserve such a big warm welcome 🫶🏽

[@anna8282]

How exciting! Best of luck! 🌸✨

[@Pktljames]

I’m excited for your debut! Fighting!!!

[@kpopgalaxy-bm9dx]

im so excited for there debut i love them already

[@sparkles1484]

Good luck from Australia on your debut. I’m really looking forward to your performances. I can’t wait, I’m really excited for you guys! 💜

[@michele962]

I just discovered Big Ocean and I already know that they’ll be one of my favorite groups. As someone who grew up with deaf parents, knows sign language and worked as an interpreter almost my whole life I’m so happy so see someone actually make it out as a group and show the world that nothing can stop them. I hope that thanks to them, people will realize that even if you’re hard of hearing you can still do anything you want. I am so happy and rooting for them!🩵

[@Koed313]

I am so excited for them! 🫶🏻

[@milii5675]

I'm a person who thinks Sign Language should be a MUST in school. It's part of diversity, we live in the same country, we speak the same language but why we can't communicate? Learning the basic of LS of your language it's really helpful. I did and It change completely the way I look to others now. We need to empathized more with each other This is an amazing opportunity for this boys and I hope the best for them! I will be following this project ❤

[@Thatsverynoice]

Good luck Big Ocean! I dont usually comment on posts but this filled me with pride listening to their stories. My 11yr old son has hearing loss (diagnosed at 4yrs old) and his dream is to become an actor, this makes me feel that anything is possible. Wishing you all the best boys, fighting! ❤

[@kayla68779]

As someone who has bilateral cochlear implants this so, so cool to me. Kpop had already become a genre that has made me feel included because even though I have cochlear implants I can't hear English songs until I look up the lyrics. Before then I couldn't tell what language the song was in. Because of this I always felt left out because people would play music around me and I couldn't hear it. I couldn't sing along unless I knew the words. When I discovered Kpop I found it was a genre that so many people didn't know the words to. For the first time it felt like people knew how I felt every day. I no longer felt left out. This group is a step further in a genre that has already made me feel included. This group is of people who are hearing impaired just like me. This is just really special and I'm so glad this group exists. It genuinely makes me tear up with joy. Thank you Big Ocean. You have no idea how much your existence means to me. I will forever be grateful for you. 🩵

[@EmilyOrriginal]

I'm disabled and not hearing impaired, but I truly feel you with feeling SEEN and representated in this group. The dance challenge they posted with a wheelchair user?! It made my year. I'm so happy you have a group you connect so heavily to on a personal level.

[@BreeRiver]

Im so excited and proud of Big Ocean! They deserve the world!!! They work really hard and it shows a lot I cant wait for the 20th 💙🤟🏻

[@po_lyly]

I am a teacher for children with hearing disabilities and I am very happy because now Kpop is inclusive, thanks big ocean 🌊 for giving us the opportunity to see and listen to your music

[@M_Kingdom_9]

Hyunjin’s English is excellent. And I hear him speaking other languages on their lives. That’s a lot of hard work over and above their idol training 💪🏼💪🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🫶🏻

[@leanacolf1348]

Amazing! This will break a lot of barriers. I'm very much looking forward to their debut!

[@andy_draws2002]

Well, I declare myself as of today a fan of Big Ocean. I can see how hard they've been working and it is not a small task entering the world of K-pop, even more so when you have a "disability." I really hope they make it. I'm really excited for this group to show us what they have. Good luck! You guys are really inspiring. Best wishes from Argentina! 🌊❤

[@jenniferld672]

I feel bad for Seunghyun that had to leave the K-Pop group Celest1a due to sudden hearing loss. Maybe they should see if he wanted to join their group so that he doesn't have to give up on his dream.

[@ella_143_S]

I am honestly so excited to see what they do and who they will become. It makes me proud to watch them grow even from behind the scenes on the lives every night . 🖤 keep going boys we are all proud and love you very much.

[@veronicahernandez5266]

I can't wait to see Big Ocean's journey! What lovely men! I've heard of them previously, but instantly am drawn to their personalities, especially Hyun Jin. I can't wait to see how they will change the world and bring awareness to the hearing impaired and differently abled community.

[@MS-uk9lq]

Very inspiring! I’m glad they didn’t give up and have made it this far. Wish them all the best.

[@Leeknuar]

Big Ocean’s debut is tomorrow, & I can barely sit still! I am so excited 😆. I will support Big Ocean to the very end!!!❤❤❤

[@klaramell]

Like they said, i can imagine that it was really difficult to figure out how to synchronise every move, especially when they had to learn dancing first. They must have been working really hard!! 😲👏 i can't wait to see them perform 😊

[@kerrykay2181]

I’m so excited for their debut 🥹🥹🥹 I love them sooooooo much and my wish is for them to have recognition and to be famous around the world ❤

[@gracesong8738]

Thank you for this comprehensive video. It was a pleasure to hear their stories about their journey to debut and it’s lovely how to see them excited for their debut. I’m both inspired and especially excited for this. As someone with disabilities, their statement of how their disability is their identity really stuck to me, and the hard work they put in to get past the difficulties they face is really inspiring

[@user-ik1qj8ni4o]

*I’m so excited for these guys. They seem so genuine!*

[@밤고굼]

너무너무 응원 드리고 축하 드립니다ㅠㅠ!!! 진심으로요ㅠㅠ... 모든 사람들에게 희망과 용기를 주는 훌륭한 아이돌로 성장해나가시길 기도 합니다!!! 정말 축하 드려요ㅠㅠ!!! 제가 유일하게 응원하는 가수입니다...

Big Ocean deserves the world 🌎 They will inspire millions and can not wait to watch everyone fall in love with them 💕 ❤️ The journey may have been tough and will still have hard times, but the love and support from fans already will never go away 🥰 I'm walking the path with these precious 3 🩵🌊 and will continue for days,years to come.

I just found out about there group and i am also a little hard of hearing im also half blind but seeing them would be my dream :), they are very inspiring, i love doing sign language to my friends and family

[@joybrown6854]

this was such a beautiful interview!! all of them are so well spoken!!

[@jennifervaughn1541]

This is the first time I’ve heard of these guys and I’m really excited for them. It said that they were debut April 20 so I guess that’s tomorrow. I am very interested in hearing how they sound and hearing their music and I’m interested in seeing how their career will takeoff. I wish them lots of luck.

[@fcoresoftserve]

Man, they're really charming and down to earth. I really really hope they get a good, catchy song to debut with and gain a lot of fans!!!

[@Fernbabyfern]

I wish I could be at your debut stage!!! You are going to be great!!!

[@flutterby2878]

These guys have a great future ahead of them. Please keep supporting Big Ocean. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳

[@just_a_kpop_fan]

the more i see this group getting closer to debuting, the more excited and proud of stanning them i feel. i wish them all the best! ♡

[@kaylaroberts6905]

I really want to see these guys succeed in the industry. I can imagine it's been so hard for them to have felt so disadvantaged over something they can't change or control. I also love that their choreography includes KSL. I'm sure their debut will help many other young Koreans with hearing impairments to feel encouraged also!

[@yoonglie]

this is wonderful to see! so proud of them. the kpop industry is finally getting to a place where we can accept everyone for their strengths rather than discriminating

[@amy-janefoster982]

Hearing impaired myself and after finding Big Ocean i can't stop smiling. They are an inspriration and a reminder that having a disability doesn't have to hold you back. Love you already Big Ocean🌊🤍💙🤍

[@silverarmy8853]

Already a fan 🫶🥰🫶 wishing them much success ❤

[@ArielStar]

A lovely interview from lovely Jessica and lovely members. Truly mesmerized by Big O!cean's big heart, strong work ethic, chemistry, and talents.

[@Sg0212a]

💙My only regret is not being able to be there in person for their debut. I am rooting so much for these guys. They are just the greatest 💙

[@Hwaaha]

Wow. They seem so sweet and I’d definitely love to learn more about them and see more performances and hear songs from them. I’ll try to stay updated with Big Ocean as best as I can.

[@valeriagarcia3239]

I am a special education student and seeing that sign language is becoming very important nowadays makes me think that this group is going to help this population a lot.

[@necoradraa]

Wishing Big Ocean gets so much love! Looking forward to your debut! Hwaiting from Canada!!

[@misak1872]

장애 아이를 키우고 있어서 그런가요, 이 그룹이 굉장히 위로가 되고 희망이 됩니다. 우리 애는 청각장애는 아니지만 이렇게 사회에서 누군가의 선망의 대상이 되는 직업을 갖을 수 있다는 게 너무 충격적으로 좋아요.

[@Micaa0.]

Thank you for this, they are very talented, it's close their debut !!! Big Ocean we are so proud and happy for you !!! 🩵🥹✨️

[@hibbers716]

[@ninas8210]

I am so happy this is a thing that is happening ever since i've heard about this group (about two weeks ago) , I have been so excited to see the process/ results

[@daychild_]

i found fhem only a few days ago but im already so excited for their debut!! i love them so much

[@lucky0615]

Fighting guys ,i remember learning sign language just to be friend with my co worker who deaf and mute 😊😊

[@MegaAnubisxD]

Thank you for showing that no matter if you have a disability, everything is possible! Lot of love from Europe ❤

[@staysloveskz]

they already have my heart and me in the fandom, it’s so good that we finally have them on the industry cause they can inspire others and show everyone that having hearing impairment isn’t like a “defect” on the human being, it’s part of who they are, being born with it or not. i’m sending much much love and support from brazil, hope you guys get the recognition you deserve! ❤

[@Julia-rf1dy]

Got to know about them two days ago just in time for their debut and I'm binge watching their content since then, loved how they showed themselves in this interview and the interviewer Jessica is so sweet and polite loved how she conducted the whole thing ❤

[@webercheeks5553]

Being an idol is already hard with all the obligations they have, I can’t imagine how hard they’re working to achieve that dreams. But they’re amazing and I hope they continue spreading their hope and influence others to not give up. Fighting!

[@Dinestudies7]

Sending much love from Brazil, guys!! I'll keep rooting for you ❤❤❤🇧🇷 Fighting!!!

[@Beatriz-Dontal]

Congratulations on your debut! Lots of love from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@Lumica-no9fk]

I just found them half hour ago and I’m already loving them!!! They’re sooooo sweet 🫶 just love their smiles

[@irunclasseu]

Wow. I really cried watching this. You guys reminded me of my old dream 😭 I have always always wanted to learn sign language in order to skillfully communicate with people who are challenged in hearing and speech. I wanted to, ever since I was young.... and now I'm on my last few years of my 20s.. unfortunately, I haven't had nor created opportunities to do so. I feel like it is fate that I came across this video, I'm definitely gonna try to live it up one step at a time. Thank you for this!!! I really respect you guys 💙💙

[@serchmaabaatarchuluun5761]

I'm so excited to see these guys debut. They seem very adorable.
