The ATEEZ interview it's definitely my favorite!!!

[@mehdiirfani1]

Happyface Entertainment/Dreamcatcher Company is my favorite k-pop label after WM Entertainment.

[@dias2957]

ATEEZ interview was my favourite i hope to see them here again!!~

[@roux1117]

Ateez and omega x is ma fave interview!!

[@br8014]

What about VAV?

[@Edward_Avila]

Mama uncoordinated idol labels? Dont get me started on how lazy some labels are to even provide BASIC information on their OWN idols to create the content 🙄 i swear i feel like some companies themselves will be the downfall of their own groups theyre trying to promote cos theyre fucking lazy lol. This goes for even regular korean companies >_>

You mean they want money without having to do anything - well, that's so true :D but I think this phenomena is not only in Korea, sadly.

I'm not surprised for the range between lebels are so different when I saw Jessierview with Joy when Joy's managers are busy writing down the whole interview while Jessi's manager is happily babysitting her dog at the corner

[@dorisa3665]

Honestly, I think that is a big part in separating a good company from a great one in terms of likability (ofc there are more/ other factors).

[@vaanshichauhan9868]

I think that part was a joke by jessi for writing down interview thing

[@shia6757]

It was funny tho but jessi always speaks the highest of pnation

[@Sharon-fc6lz]

Honestly with the way idols get chewed out for making simple mistakes, I can see why their companies are this extra cautious. I always go back to that incident with the young actress Kim Yoo-jung - poor girl got into an attitude controversy for not standing properly according to netizens. Its tough. And then of course the fans can be another problem. Jumping to conclusions, mis-intrepreting things, spreading false info etc

[@treeoflife9960]

@@vaanshichauhan9868 i think it was half/half. like they were supervising everything to a point where Jessi was surprised and she felt the need to point it out but it was probably exaggerated by her. and i don't think that SM is doing this everytime and to supervise Joy (in a negative way). Remember Minho was there too and apparently his managers did not do it, considering how surprised Jessi was when she saw Joy's managers. Since this was Joy's first time to promote solo they probably monitored all her activities and briefed her later on what was good and how she could do better. also maybe to know if Jessi's show is suitable for future promotions of SM (girl) groups or stuff like that.

[@dorisa3665]

I like idol interviews, but there’s a point where I’m getting bored of the same kind of questions and interview styles over and over again. I get surprised when interviews like ur Ateez one happens, or FO squad’s with Seventeen, or Eddie’s idol interviews, which are some of my faves bc of how real they are. I really appreciate DKDKTV for always trying to be real and cut out the BS (well as much they can without the managers being on they backs).

i'm atiny so when i watched the interview with them during say my name era I luv it! i watched many times again even after it was already a year later>

Dreamcatcher is treated very well in music shows (mcd staff even bought them slippers and almost all music shows staff gave them cakes) and whenever they go they're praise by the staff and mcs. So no wonder they had good experience with the girls

Dreamcatcher gets alot of freedom in regards to interviews/speech and ideas and its part of what makes them so fun. That's the whole reason I came to like them

The woojin interview was great! It made me understand him as an artist more and I hope for more idol interviews like that

[@jane1929]

the woojin one was different. it felt raw and natural. in depth and straight to the point. just spilling the tea. i understand that there are things that cant be disclosed. but the interview feels like a fresh breath of air.

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

Yes, you do have the best Kpop interviews. You both always know what you’re talking about and who you’re talking to. Actually in your interviews it’s not like you’re talking to anybody you’re actually having a conversation and speaking with somebody. I like the professional attitude of both David and Danny,(Danny, come home, or back soon please) You both have quite diverse opinions at times but somehow between the two of you everything works out. Thank you for this. Great clarification. I hope you both go far in this industry you’ve worked very hard for what you have now I can only see it getting better.

[@fuegasamigas9172]

I am glad they mentioned that the other groups work hard too and they work really hard to be noticed from the public. The overshadowing of the popular groups, companies, and fandoms makes it hard.

[@kimishi5504]

I saw all your kpop interviews they were so good. Its were you get the real KSTEA. ✍🎵 I think sometimes CEOS forget how it was for them in everyday struggles to reach the top. To ask the same questions, did i like the miscommunication or demand to do these things. Was i treated with respect and set a role model. If the answer was (no) it would give room for improvement when he climbs to top. It also will earn respect from staff and fans wanting to stay with that company and learn. When there is so much talent in the industry and competitive we all like to see new artists and their music. When David did woojins interview it was like friends talking and enjoying spilling some tea. It was very nice. THEN, you did the OMEGA X one, i forwarded it to my daughter and she loved this group that she never heard before, especially VAMOS since she speaks spanish. Did you know after that interview we tried to get album and it was sold out!! I just think your channel shows the inside truth no sugar coating on how it is to work in the entertainment industry and it is so appreciated.💌💕

[@booklover1298]

I like that they talked a little bit about the process of making the interview videos. 3:22 was from when they interviewed Holland. I think Holland isn't signed to a company. The interviews Danny & David do are better than most interviewers who interview kpop idols. Zach Sang and Liam McEwan are also both really good/decent interviewers. I think that there are some questions idols are so tired of being asked. One of the questions idols are probably tired of being asked is who they want to collaborate with next.

We all know Woojin and 10X are the best, thank you so much for such an amazing video!!!

[@jennaeveliina313]

I loved that ateez one but it still seemed kindaa.. "formal"..? It just seemed like any other interview, wich isnt bad and it doesnt mean it was because of their company. Actually their company has a pretty good reputation, compared to many others.. they were so much more chilled when they did one with jre, so i wonder why this one seemed so "official" 🤔 i think Danny and David did their best to be as low key as possible, or maybe the members were just a little nervous.

So many people spend a lot of time for a group that they don't even stan

[@kidjewel1468]

Glad you mentioned the point about how questions are edited and the idols see the questions b4 they actually do the interview(paraphrased). Because I see many fans complaining how hosts asked inappropriate questions. Yeah am talking about some ARMY who say BTS were asked questions that shouldn't be asked.

[@yeonkimin2047]

I thought everyone must already be knowing that all the idols are briefed about the questions, I mean that's how it works anywhere, as far as ik at least, it's hilarious that there are some people who think the interviewer is asking the idols questions which their label doesn't know about or alter in order to avoid any "controversies". Also, idols are media trained very well, they are specifically taught how to answer and be accurate and stuff, that's just how the industry works.

[@00lilsunshine]

Not really "inappropriate" questions but really boring ass questions that every other interviewer has already asked, kinda hard not to get annoyed at that. Yeah the question was approved by Hybe but it was the hosts job to come up with the questions in the first place. Maybe Hybe can come up with their own questions too but thatll be like doing their job for them lol, if like that then whats the point of coming to the interviewer even

[@cray-craycrayon575]

Maybe in Korea, but it seems like outside of Korea interviewers ask whatever they want and think they can get away with it. Asking BTS if they've ever "hooked up" with a fan, or asking VIXX if they know that they are so popular that they could sleep with any fan that they want? I highly doubt those questions were approved by the kpop entertainment labels. I've even seen American interviewers ask American stars questions that the stars clearly state that a question was agreed beforehand to not be asked but was asked anyway.
