RM Live - 10/5 (Part 1*)

즐추 (Jeul Chu), 즐추2

My commentary in green.
The name of today's live is 즐추 (jeul-chu) = a portmanteau of 즐거운 (jeul-geo-un) and 추석 (Chu-seok)
This live is 52 minutes long - this is just about the first half (first 26 minutes) including the ~1.5minute first live. Sometimes I'm able to translate multi-hour lives in one post because they don't speak much (e.g., JK singing or doing house chores with mostly music/silence and bursts of yapping) but RM is here to decompress and fills up almost every single second with his thoughts.. so part 2 of the translation will come soon! Thank you for your patience.

PART 1
Why's it so dark?

bruh it's cuz you're wearing a hat.

hey - sup guys?
i think i have to change the mode.. no.. maybe not..

i have to read the chat like this

hello guys
i was so bored during work so..
i was so bored during work so i turned on live

::waves::
i keep having to do this

he is a literal genius, friends. the derpiest genius to ever also melt your insides with his height, eyes, and lyrics. the. derpiest.

RM seems also to have a condition that makes him unable to conduct lives without becoming meme'd. Jung Kook shares this condition. We are all deeply concerned and endlessly amused.

OH do i have to start over? okay.. i think okay..
I'm gonna restart.

PART 2

it works right? now? right?
good good

hi everyone

i was bored so i wanted to say hi
the translations work well, right? even if i speak in korean?
even if i speak in Korean, the translation works well right?
. . ...😐😑😐🤌🏼

okay

me?
i was working..
no, exercising...
no ..i mean working out or whatever.. i was gonna do all that but then got kinda restless/bored so turned on the live

everyone doing okay?
i haven't eaten yet at all - not even one meal yet today

yup the comments are being translated well too

some of you have asked me what their POV is regarding the translated comments... while I appreciate the trust - I'm always very honest - bruh, I don't know. I don't see their POV hahahah but what I can say is that the same translation engine translating their words for us -is likely being used to translate your comments for them.

that said, it should be fine BECAUSE - when they speak, they're talking to us about all of the things, mixing in slang, sometimes jumping between languages, and talking about a wide variety of topics. and sometimes they slur their speech or mumble or are sleepy, etc. so the translation might mess things up quite a bit because it depends on the audio being picked up..

but for our comments, it's likely simpler since we're typing it out (so nothing has to rely on being able to make out audio) and also because we're likely interacting with their updates/questions, our feedback is probably relevant. you're not speaking to them about esoteric topics or whipping out slang in your respective languages... so the translation engine probably does a solid job translating comments for them.

these days? it doesn't really show right now
well i haven't worked out yet today .. but right now i'm about 71kg?
(about 157 lbs)

the other kids lost a lot of weight too
i probably do weight the most out of all of them right now
i think i'm probably similar to Jung Kook right now at about 71kg

I run everyday
I just work and rest everyday..
everyday... weights for about an hour and a half
then running for about 40-50 minutes
i spend my days like that

i miss you guys too

it's chuseok but there's nothing to do really.. and i'm at the office

that's right. READ BANNED BOOKS.
he's referencing the hat he's wearing from Penguin Random House that says "Read Banned Books"

oh you have to go to work? same! i'm at workkk
it's Chuseok so no one is even around here in Seoul

Chuseok is like a "harvest festival" in terms of what it celebrates and kinda similar to "Thanksgiving" in terms of how it's celebrated - where lots of people 'go back home' or all gather with family, some subset of people will spend the better portion of the night before and the morning of cooking up a storm with some key traditional foods involved, some people might get dressed up in hanbok (but I don't really know any non-elderly folk to do this..), they reflect on all they have, reflect on everything to look forward to, and play traditional games.

for me too.. i'm just here doing this.. wondering what yall are up to
mm i gotta go write lyrics.. and do some edits.. and work out
it's all the same day in and day out

books?
i was just at a cafe reading a book by myself until a little while ago
oOh you wanna see it?
it's a short book... one sec..
it's a quick read
Patrick Süskind - Der Kontrabass

it's not very long maybe like 80 pages? it's fun
i just got back from reading this

wow it's 3:30 in Texas?
holy
i usually sleep around that time

yes, so next year i have an exhibition in San Francisco
right now maybe.. yesterday i had a meeting with them
so i've been preparing for about a year and will probably prepare for another year laying everything out
that's probably how it'll go

and potentially once it's wrapped in San Francisco
idk.. if it'll go to another museum or tour to other museums.. or
but that depends on how things go with other museums..
for now, just San Francisco
but touring to other museums is also being discussed...
but for now, it's just that..

i can understand some japanese
but not much
i downloaded duolingo for japanese...
tbh i was much better at japanese long ago..
now.. it's not quite there..

it's about 5:30 in Korea right now?
is that right? 5:30? yeah, i think so

i haven't eaten a meal yet..

today ..cuz i was able to set the camera - it's a bit better, right?
i usually don't have a tripod so..
my recent life
i just work out, run, and do weight training
i usually go out ..watch movies by myself these days when i have free time
yea on my own..

i usually go to the museum by myself
I live a pretty solitary life..

I'm supposed to see Jimin during the holidays but..
