But I also heard that you like to make your own pizza. -Pizza. Oh. Yes Yes? -I like pizza, but... I didn't like leftovers, so... -Then I eat cold pizza, isn't that good? -Yeah. -Well, have you ever had pizza in New York City? -Not yet.

Oh! -I have you... I have you. It's not cold. -New York pizza! -This is one of my favorites. -This is one of my favorites. -Your favorite? -Yeah. This is what I like.

I was watching some interviews with you and this question made me laugh. He said, what is the scariest thing in the world? The scariest thing in the world to you, and your response was... Does anyone know? -Microwave! -Yes, a microwave.

A microwave. "I'm always worried it'll explode." What are you talking about? -Well, when I was young... -Yes. -I used to be afraid, but... I'm still afraid. -Because? Why are you afraid? -I don't know. -I guess it's a little scary, because I really don't understand it. -I don't know, like... -Yes. -Boom. -Yes Yes Yes. No, nothing is

going

to happen. No, nothing is

going

to happen. Nothing is going to happen. You'll be fine with the microwave, but I get it. I don't understand how it's hotter, but maybe I'll look into that and learn. I was waiting for you to go on this live stream sometimes and I'm going to...

Is it called Weverse? -Yes, Weverse. -Weverse, yes, it is the livestream. And sometimes you do karaoke. Sometimes you're cooking. This made me laugh, it's what I liked the most that you did. You fell asleep. You fell asleep. And you fell asleep and slept for only 45 minutes. And all, 6 million people tuned in to watch you sleep. Did you... what... did you feel sleepy when you came in? What happened? -I think my fans, ARMY, liked it because... It was something very unexpected, but... -Yes, yes. I want to do this too. I think it's very funny. I think it's great.

I am going to try this. Yes, I know, and we'll see how many people tune in to watch me sleep, but I snore, so it's going to be difficult. -I'll see. -Well. You will see? Thank you. I apreciate it. Since you've been with the band, this is BTS's 10th anniversary. And you have been very kind to come to our program. And thank you very much for always coming to our program. We appreciate it. Was I going to ask you what you're most proud of? -Yeah. -It's great that you stay humble. I want to talk about "golden." Congratulations on this.

I want to know about the album title. Now, a lot of "Golden". That's a nickname for you, right? Golden Maknae. What does that mean, Golden Maknae? -It means “golden young man.” -It's okay, yes. -From the group in Korean. -Yeah. And you... Did that stick with you, Golden? And did you know that that would always be the title of the album if you went solo? Yes. And it's a great cover. Great cover. By the way, look at those abs. Yes. Never ever. I will never... I will never make it, ever. I love the album. It's fun. I will say that the first half is a lot of fun.

It's, you know, it's Jack Harlow. Major Lazer. It's kind of poppy and fun. The second half gets a little more serious. Some are sad, sadder than others. Is that what you wanted? Do you want to be this versatile? Yes, I think you did. I think you did. - he did it! -Do you... play any of your bandmates' songs? The rest of BTS? Because we had Jimin on the show, and he told me that he...he told me that he introduces them to his songs before he releases them. Yes. They are nice. Yes. You are family. Yes.

Can we say that there may be a Golden world tour in the future? Yes. If you need an opening act, I can do two or three songs. -Please. -Yeah. Let's talk about the song you'll be performing, "Standing Next to You," later in the show. What does that song mean to you? Is there any little choreography to "Standing Next to You" you can teach me? -Yes of course. -Could you teach me? -Let's do it. Let's do it. -What should I do? -Well. So easy. -Well. -One. Two.
