JK Live - 11/2
JK plays games and vibes with ARMY for nearly six hours...
오칸깡 + 공포게임 (Oh Kan Kkang + Gongpo Game)
Kancho Unwrapping + Horror Game
Highlights
My commentary in green.
Hi Loves! If you missed it yesterday, please note that moving forward with their crazy long gaming lives - where so much of the time is spent either in dead silence OR responding to or narrating in-game-content which gets lost in a typed transcript, I'll let you watch/deciper that yourselves. If there's a specific segment that you'd like me to translate, if you SEND me the recorded clip on IG or threads DM, I might be able to translate that for you - otherwise, if you watch the game, the Weverse subs shouldn't be too far off.
For the gaming content, they're likely repeating the same phrases (get em, kill em, come here, help me, etc.) so not necessarily too nuance/context dependent.
This is the segment of his live where he stops to eat and chat with us about things I think are fun to translate outside of his gaming content.
Highlights starting the live here when he starts eating timestamp
Poppy Playtime doesn't necessarily take super long to beat in entirety but in my opinion it does test the gamers' sense of direction and memory and like.. gaming intuition. JK explicitly states that he is "bad with directions" but then goes on to remember nearly every turn he's taken and where all the little puzzle pieces and quickly solves the mechanisms to advance.
It really has been fun to watch this side of JK's sensibilities in play~ like yes HILARIOUS because he is boba shrieking and fussing all the while speaking in formal Korean to the monsters he encounters in the game so politely.. referring to them as "sunsaengnim" (teacher/sir/maam - way to address someone when you have no idea who they are and wanna keep it polite even though it literally means teacher)
anyway~ here we go!
We've been recording & i kinda got a sore throat so i've been resting [voice] for a bit but i don't really have anything to do at home so i figured i'd focus on doing lives and catch up on games i've been meaning to play/try
[eating bossam in the darkness]
Did jin hyung do well yday at his concert?
Why did they give me gloves when I didn't order *jumokbap? Maybe to mix the bibimguksu?
[turns on 🎶 to eat -top 100kpop]
Is this Korean music??
...this music is too upbeat for eating
[changes playlist to 'newest kmusic']
주먹밥 (jumokbap) is literally like "fist rice" loll but it's basically fried rice and some crushed crispy seaweed formed into balls for easy eating. It's a popular lunch item for kids or snacks on the go for like picnics and such. You'd eat it with your hand. Korean delivery is really good about offering thoughtful food experiences - like including gloves for things like chicken, pizza, even some burger places~ and in this case.. i guess it's for the purpose of handmixing the noodles?? idk.. i've never seen that but he uses the gloves for that anyways loll
[everyone be quiet. bb is showing us his bossam]

[almost eats his headset]

mM~ mmhmm
have you all eaten?
mMmm this is yummy
-ordered like 3 full blown entrees "my stomach shrank though.. this is like a lot of food"
(😑)
mMm mMhmm
Wanna watch something while eating?
(🥹)
turns on science YT about aliens.. because.. of course he does..
This YT vid seems actually to be science content MEANT for insomniacs that have trouble sleeping to listen to it like info-dense ASMR to fall asleep LOLLLLLLLL jkalf;djgladjf;gljaf;dg
bunn has stopped eating to watch the youtube...
remembers to eat again
*realizes the subs on YT are a bit off "maybe it's cuz it's a 3+ hour video but the subs are off..so.. let's watch something shorter/more fun"
searches YT for other fun channels
I will NEVER stop yapping about how sweet and thoughtful they ALL are but/and how DIFFERENTLY it comes through with each of them... like each so potent in their own way.. but it hits SO different cuz of their individual quirks.. we love we love we Love
[lands on Short Box YT Channel]
friends, this is likely what everyday Koreans watch to eat meals, the episodes are not that long - perfect for like a quick bite, light comedic sketches
당근 (dang geun) - literally means "carrot"
-used as slang (but is a bit old at this point) for "of course" because it shortened version of the phrase "당연하지" (dang yeon ha ji)
-now FROM that slang, there was an app called "Danggeun Market" (carrot market) which is like a local community marketplace app for buying/selling things in your neighborhood + Task Rabbit kinda + craigslisty vibes
-now from THAT app, comes this parody skit of "carrots" or like "task rabbits" doing these odd jobs for ppl in the neighborhood
bunny noms & watches w/ the ENG subtitles on in the YT
thoughtful bunn making me cry on this fine Sunday afternoon
(while watching the YT) I've never been a task rabbit/carrot before but .. is it true there's ALL of this variety of stuff you can ask for??
(does not look up to read comments or anything.. bunny is nomming)
he's so freaking cute. i want him to eat and respawn his roundie fluffy cheeks.
they're so good [at acting/comedy]
it's not really like that right? (the task rabbit/carrot life of the oddjobs/craigslisty vibes)
no right? like it's an exaggeration?
(watching the bit about the fishing rod sale) ...isn't he a bully atp 😠🤣
jafdkljgaldfj hahahaha this yt skit (which I hadn't seen yet cuz it just came out 2 days ago) is so sillies
[Second Short Box YT]
.... watching comedy with BTS might be my MOST favorite thing of ever. HOLYCUTENESS. this is so funnyyy/fun to see which parts I find funny/JK finds funny/when it aligns
(watching the wedding photo skit) i also wanna try acorn noodles.. i wanna try acorn noodles too
i'm FULL.. i can't be full already.. i ordered so much.. i finish this later
Third Short Box YT
🎶JK sings the closing song from the previous video; closes out of this one though..

JK blep for you all
imma get some seltzer brb
he takes a moment to offer some seltzer gulping "ASMR"

okay..
Roblox.. I don't know that
what should i do?
is there anything we can play together?
let's see let's see let's see ...::searches to find games::..
Run BTS?
what should we do.. imma go with what I want to do
the horror game was so exhausting
"the most popular game" ? what is this ARC Raiders? ::watches trailer for this game::
it's a new game came out October 30th looks fun ..this looks so fun.. should i download it?

human fall flat? wanna do this one?

wanna play this one cuz it's one where we have to work together to beat it right?
🎶practicies singing scales loll
isn't there a competitive multiplayer game? I guess Battle Ground would be the best for that then right? Should we try it? Wanna try it?
bunny yawns
...why isn't this charging? [his ipad] i have it plugged in
it's not charging? why isn't it charging.. the cord is plugged in..
what is Roblox why is it so popular? what is this game?
is that also a steam game?
searches for it on steam
it's not coming up ☹️
choosing a nickname/username for something.. idk if it's for Battle Grounds or Roblox
why are all the nicknames I want to use taken?? ::typing::
uh... THIS one's taken too??
can't get the usernames he wants to use so he decides to pivot
lemme first lookup what kinda game Roblox is..
LOLLL friends - for those that don't know, Roblox is not a game. It's kind of like a 'Netflix' of lots of different games. but from what I know (limited) I think Roblox is more? mostly? for younger kids. So him asking "what game is Roblox?" is like someone saying "what movie is Netflix? lemme look up what kinda movie this is.." 😆
::looks up Roblox on YT::
oh this is very cute game but it's not my vibe
it's not really calling to me
because he searched youtube for Roblox, thinking it was a game, he was probably hoping to find some playthroughs of 'the game' - but since it is NOT a game, he likely found videos of a playthrough of SOME game(s) on Roblox and decided it was not for him loll sigh what a cutiepants... Again it's kinda like searching for 'Netflix' looking for a trailer thinking Netflix is a show, finding trailers of OTHER movies ON NETFLIX on YouTube and then deciding based on that trailer that Netflix is not the movie for you HAHAHAHA jkafldgja;ldfjg who's gonna tell him
(inexplicably) nanana
i don't know..
(bunn is distraught)
let's just go BattleGround .. turning Battle Ground on..
but I'm warning you all I really suck at Battle Ground
I recently logged in ..didn't play and just bought outfits for my character hehehe
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
why isn't this starting
it's not startinggg
let's good
let's turn the bgm off..
Bbakugo my username is Bbakugo Bbakugo..
he mentioned on his 10/29 live that Katsuki Bakugo is his ALL TIME favorite anime character - citing that "he is THE coolest."
in all fairness Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia is a very cool character.
can you hear me?
you can hear me now?
okay customize.. no not that..
lemme first customize my outfit (for his in game female character loll)
my hair.. hm.. but okay i'm a female character hehe
i almost always choose female characters when i play games
outer outfit..
i wanna wear a matching outfit thoughhh but idk what there is..
is this right? i don't think it is.. wait maybe there isn't one..
shoes.. rubber shoes?
...
okay let's go honeybee outfit
essentially he's putting together his custom outfit - i've never played Battle Ground but more than likely these outfits are not only aesthetic choices but some choices may offer certain in-game advantages
of course he chooses to dress like a bee in a game where you fight to the death.. of course he does. adjkfl;gjaldfjg;lakfjg;j
honeybee shoes...
honeybee gloves..
no no wasp
wasp pants
wasp ..OH there's a wasp set..
parachute..
ok ok ok
lowkey what is happening. idk this game so.. loll
head.. honeybee.. no WASP
wasp sunglasses.. wasp mask
..the sunglasses are not cool.. what is thiss..
hairstyle? is there blonde hair? let's go
makeup? no makeup.. let's go cute.. okay done..
okay i'm done customizing
play.. nonononono
i have to do a tutorial.. -_-
i think i have to play this tutorial to be able to play
like this?
oh so i have to...


no come on. please. this is why i'll fight anyone to protecc our bb boba. what do you mean THIS is his battle outfit. i'm not super familiar with Battle Ground specifically but more than likely 'blending in' is helpful when you're playing like ..essentially a hungergames/battle royale type of game so this outfit.. with this headband? 10000/10 on brand and i'm here for it.. but lmao
okay so he plays the tutorial and learns the game mechanics and goes on to play this game for about twelve business days..
STARTS the tutorial ..and has impeccable aim. granted he's playing in a safe/closed practice course but i'm so impressed by how quickly he masters things
::shoots gun::
oOooo that was so loud ><"
i looked away for 1 second and somehow he's now wearing this backpack

you know what.. he would wear this into battle... 10/10 on brand and you know what he'd likely destroy EVERY enemy all while saying he's not very good at what he's doing.. get super hungry. eat. and then get food coma and pass out...
BattleGrounds is so scary though..
::finishes the tutorial::
(behold)

what am i supposed to do? how do i play? is it starting now? ahAHHHHHHH okay..
::has named his game room "BTS JK"

is this right?
did i make it?
his room quickly starts to fill up.
::watching his room fill up w/ players SO fast::
...I don't know how to Battle Grounds so like.. you know... don't kill me.
::takes the 97/100 spot in the lineup::
::an ARMY says it's my 8th year anni of being ARMY today::
wait so if i die..
if i do team players w/ max 10ppl/team, doesn't this mean out of 100 players there will be 10 teams? and then if i set it to 1 it's every person for themselves? is that right? is that how that works w/ the teams? oh that's right it's 10 teams.. okay i'm gonna be on team 7
and all ARMY went 'aWWwwWwWw'
k hurry hurry hurry hurry
boba is impatient to play
as SOON as it fills up imma start playing right away!

i'm team 7!
aishh i'm scared
100 ppl.. is too many ppl...
let's try at first but then if this is too crazy then let's lower the cap and do it over..
we need like a 1:1 date because if there's like 10 teams and we do like 20..okay..
::game starts::

WHATWHATWHYAMINAKED???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA all his bee efforts..
i feel.. so exposed..O-o
::in about 1 second his bee outfit is on::
oh phew.. my gosh that was jarring..

🎶run away to the beachhhh

i'm getting the sense this is kinda like fortnite? players have like some amount of time in the beginning to just derp around and get situated.. during this time (which JK set to 60 seconds) players' hits don't count during this time.. so this is why so many ppl are hitting him hahaha these hits don't count against him/deplete his health etc.
omg there are so many ppl
please don't come for me ::runs away::
::turns around::

GOODNESS OMG SO SCARY WTHECK
::warning other players in this match::
WARNING that your voice may be heard on my livestream! Please be mindful of that. You're welcome to keep your mic on though if you want
heavecrylaughing again today.. players just surround JK and start punching him in a circle.. loll -again this is still in the protected 'safe' time so this does no damage to him
::player:: where should we go?
JK: O_O? oh.. i don't know please tell me!!
[ARMYs are trying to suggest the best places to 'land' to get the best strategic advantage re: loot/protection/etc.]
[JK is listening... but then ultimately decides to YOLO #nobodyissurprised]
mmm i wanna go here hehehehe

please note his giant smile from going rogue.
ARMY: where is everyone?
JK: if i die.. i'm gonna explode everything with a bomb
...guys. HAHAHAHA why is he so cute.
JK: ehhhh i'm so scared
okay from this point on - it's a lot more of the same - gameplay/game-specific content that wouldn't make sense unless you also saw it on screen.. i am thinking of some way to handle this but for now, i do think WV translations do a fair job because this is very SIMPLE language "go, here, kill, stop, help, etc." not stuff that needs a whole bunch of nuanced translating..
I encourage you all to watch - even if you don't understand everything, if you watch the game play you can kind of intuit how JK is interacting with ARMY~ it's a very cute interaction.
he stopped playing BattleGrounds
this game is soo hard
::blows raspberries::

what game is this now??
let's just play Party Animals
Battlegrounds is so hard ::whiny boba::

[JK has just named his game room "come in" loll the most generic sounding game room of ever; his username is ABABAB; sets it so that it's all 'every person for themselves/no teams']
i think Party Animals is the most fun in my opinion...

this is JK's play character
ooh shoot the garfield looks like he can play..
the gorilla is so cute though

(lmao)
Watch game play
this truly doesn't need much translation. they're all top-heavy floppy animals and the objective seems to be to yeet each other off the platform or kill each other with items/slaps? lmao; if/once you die, you have the ability to throw either a banana peel (to cause players to slip); what looks like a pumpkin(just to hit the players); or a bomb(which damages all players near the object at once) to sabotage remaining players
..why are there so many ARMY that play this game though??
says this like we're not a TREMENDOUSSS GLOBAL FANDOM COMPRISED OF MILLLLLLIONS OF PPL due in LARGE PART to his squeeshy little face
while i have this little floppy animal massacre happening in the bg lemme share something i've noticed lol
As someone that plays games, usually taking the most low-risk, stability-guaranteed, non-scary paths to success even if it takes a bit longer or whatever... I noticed that JK ..immediately upon landing in these Party Animal games, goes to the edges and waits there. That has to be due, at least in part, to his confidence with maneuvering his character.
Whereas I get panicked the more urgent the scenario and tend to sometimes lose further control in moments of high stress/intensity (like being on the edge of the platform when the GOAL is to knock ppl off the edge) - he's banking on his quick movements to lure ppl to the edge cuz he's confident he can throw them off quickly. i just thought that was so interesting cuz that's so different from how i think/strategize hahaha

aw my hat... he always comments when his hat falls off and it's so precious.
i FINALLLYY won
[more gameplay]
...i truly think this game is the most fun
this game is SO funny.. there's a giant poopy you can throw? on opponents. JK throws the poopie into the crowd.

TAKE THIS POOPY! hahahahahaha ::throws poop runs away cannot stop laughing::
behold the victim of the poopy throw. i. am. crying.

HAHAHAHAHHAA
the cat can't see w his eyes (cuz of poopy)
new strategy.. climbs on pillar to hide from the rest of the players


i officially cannot with this game and boba combo. look at this ARMY comment lmao
new strategy.. hide in corner

ooO the otter is good
JK makes a pun.. perhaps too much time around Jin
*피해주고 (pihaejugo) - let's avoid ..and
**피해를주고 (pihaereul jugo) - let's inflict damages
punny & ...clever but also .. sorta lame. lol as all dadjokes go
the visuals of this game are super hilarious. cheers to the animation/design team because it's SO cute all while kinda being quite ruthless.. someone is yanking JK around by his head lmao he's like "LET.. LET ME GOOOO LET GOOO"

one more time with this ..climbing a pillar strategy

(...to no avail)

struck down while JK was trying to decide if the bgm was too loud loll
please look at his surprised little face and repent of your sins if you're the one that killed him lmaooo

but all is forgiven because you cracked him up.. cuz this is view now [in death] and he thinks its very funny that he's dead on the pillar
Also at some point this little rap happens.

another feature of this game is that when the match is over, you can pose for a selfie and everyone vies for the center spot so they push and shove to get in the photo (this is just for fun) to which JK says..
let's all play nice as we take the group shot k?
(he's trying to type it in the chat but ENG is toggled instead of Korean so he winds up typing "TKDLWHG" instead of "사이좋"[게])
yes that tk, is the same tk from my username "TK FKD GO" spells "사랑해" (saranghae)


everyone come to the front for the pic.. lets all play nice

they did not in fact play nice for the group shot HAHAHA all the shoving but still a cute pic
[he makes another room called 'a time with BTS Jung Kook']

[is watching his live on his phone for monitoring purposes/qa]
i think the groupshot is so funny
that last groupshot photo moment is so funny
omg it's 8oclock
last game since it's 8...last game
[more gameplay]
final groupshot

honestly.. SUCH a cute way to interact w/ them.. sooo sososos cute. i love. TY to all the ARMY that played w/ him and kept it respectful and competitive and silly!
okay last LAST fr final round.. everyone gets 1hp so it's a very fast game..
oh you couldn't see my face?

when JK is ready to play and is spamming the chat that he's all set to start

[JK proceed to destroy everything in his path and wins the first round in like seconds]
there's nothing like taking it easy cuz you're a beginner and such... hehehe
[JK really loves these groupshots and the gorilla's expression in the last one incited the happy bunny claps]

okay so today's live will conclude at this time.
thank you all for your hard work
i really had so much fun
today - you worked so hard
and i had so much fun
okay i'll end the live here
omg it's so fun
jajajadoootdootdooo [ends the live]
