Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The beauty of it is it looks so normal.

It looks so plain. The power that it

holds.

[Music]

Hey, what's going on everybody for First

We Feast. I'm Sean Evans and you're

watching Hot Ones. It's the show with

hot questions and even hotter wings. And

today we're joined by Jenny. She's a

chart topping record-breaking global pop

star who just released her debut studio

album. It's called Ruby and Includes the

breakout hits Like Jenny and Mantra. But

how do pretty girls handle spicy wings?

I guess only time will tell. Jenny,

welcome to the show. Thank you for

having me, Sean. I am very happy and

excited and scared to be here.

How are you around spicy food? Before we

get started, are you someone who enjoys

little heat? In my daily life, I have no

nothing no spice in my life. I don't I

don't like spicy food or anything to do

with spice. If anything, I like things

plain. But here I am, and there's no

fear. No turning back. That's exactly

right. Are you ready to get started? I

am.

[Music]

Oh, we're going right in.

Here we go. Okay.

[Music]

[Music]

M.

It smells good.

[Music]

Nine to go.

So, I understand that your album Ruby is

inspired in part by the 16th century

William Shakespeare play, As You Like

It. I'm curious, what kind of connection

did you make between your own journey

and Shakespeare's exploration of the

stages of life?

When I first read the play and saw how

they broke down into seven different

stages,

what I was coming from was also the

seven years of being in a group of

Blackpink and um how every little event

has changed me over time. I've had my

ups and downs. I've had my roller

coaster emotions of when I loved music,

when I hated music and and every moments

in between was was the important things

that got me here. So, I started just

breaking myself down and I guess it just

inspired me to look at myself in a

different way and and really dive into

what got me here and who I am. If that

makes sense. I am following you all the

way.

And you'll take me on a journey. I'll

take you on a journey. If you're ready

to move on here to wing number two. Oh

yes. I'm ready. I'm actually excited for

wing two.

[Music]

Just winging it. Okay. You know what

though? I'm going to try my best and

keep my calm. I'm not going to overreact

over spice, you know. I like I like that

you're making this claim on wing two.

We'll see how it goes. Okay. All right.

It's it's it's now here. I feel like I

met Hot Ones now. Yep. Mhm. The party

started. Mhm. It has started. Okay. It's

good though. So, I think it's really

interesting and honest when you talk

about making this record, you make it

very clear that it was not at all an

easy process. When you think about the

creative decisions that went into

putting together this album, is there

something that you're particularly proud

to have fought for on the album's

behalf? Um, yes, so many things.

So, I had to fight for a few of the

songs and honestly the whole core

message to begin with, we didn't have to

forcefully make the music easy for

people to like this album. let me try

and do what I like and what I convince

myself to do to to get to people. And a

lot of the songs on this album, I really

had to fight for it.

Especially a song like Zen, a song like

Starlight,

which I understand that it might not be

the first thing that could pop up in

people's mind, but I knew that it would

touch the people that I want to touch.

I saw a few episodes where people start

getting from the third wing.

It gets you kind of in the back. But I

can survive. I see it. You know what?

I'm so proud of myself right now. I'm so

proud. Thank you. I got I'm here in the

third wing and I'm surviving. Having the

best more than surviving. Mhm.

Can you describe something that you've

learned from a vocal coach that you

think has really helped you as a singer?

Like whether it's something physical

like jaw position or something

psychological like a mental hurdle you

had to overcome. Like is there a lesson

that you hold close? I remember

this was in LA with my vocal coach and

on our very first day on our very first

session, he had me just stood there and

look out the window and just scream as

loud as I can. It wasn't to scream in

the most beautiful voice or to be the

loudest. It was to get to that state of

releasing everything that's kind of

holding you up. I don't know if this

could help anyone, but it did for me.

So, there's so many tricks and, you

know, things that you could do to prep

your vocals and and to get you to the

next level, but this could be your very

first one of your first steps is to you

need to be able to just let go. Just pop

open that window. Yeah. And no fear.

Like, look at me now. I I see that.

Yeah.

Come on. This one doesn't even look

spicy. I'm disappointed.

M

I see. Mhm. It's not the color that

matters. Looks can be deceiving. You

know,

it does have another level to it. It's

kicking. Yeah, I know. It's kicking me

on my tongue. Oh my god.

Not disappointed, right? Uhuh. That's

right. Oh, what's happening?

It's just, you know, when you were like,

I I'm at Hot Ones. You know, this is the

party. Unfortunately, the party just

gets it gets louder. It gets more

intense. Oh my god. People come in.

Yeah. It's coming at me.

So recently you ran through almost the

entirety of Ruby during your performance

at Coachella. What do you learn about

your own music by performing it live?

Like do fans react to certain songs or

lyrics in ways that surprise you? I've

never released an album with with 15

songs inside

and it's still kicking my tongue. I

know. And you know what? I'm not going

to lie to you, Jenny. That is just where

we're at. All right. That's just the

show. All right. Got it. But but my

favorite part is when they when they

just start screaming the lyrics of the

songs that never made it as a single and

you call that a B bside track, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Right.

It's a whole different term in Korean, a

bside track. And they're just screaming

it in lyrics from the top to the end.

And that's that's when you really feel

like, oh, they really do listen to your

album. They really do listen to your

music. It's shooting at me. No, from all

sides. The walls are closing in. Oh,

yeah. Thankfully, you have the tea. Does

tea help? I guess I see people drinking

milk. Should I be drinking milk? Maybe

milk is the move in times like these.

Yeah.

[Music]

Oh, mustard. Mustard is friendly.

So, I asked Lisa this question. I'm

curious if maybe you have any advice. Is

there a Korean beauty tip that I should

incorporate into my skincare routine? I

think it's all about the consistenc

consist consistency.

[Music]

Um, it's the dedication that they put. I

don't think it has anything to do with

anything. There's no secret magic. I

don't believe it's the fact that they

care so much and they they are dedicated

to keep their skin healthy is the key

for me. And if I I say this to all my

friends and everyone, but drink lots of

water. Drink lots of water. And then I

got to wear that mask every day. Yeah.

Daily. Hydration.

Okay. This one is yellow.

H

I'm just so good. Oh my god. I don't

know what I was afraid of. You had this

dog inside you the whole time. I'm so

surprised.

I have been talking about coming on this

show for the past two weeks. Like

nervous about it. I I was telling all my

friends, I'm going all out once and I

don't like spicy food. I don't know what

to do.

But all you had to do is face it.

Exactly. You know, you psych yourself

up. You know, we build these walls

ourselves. We do. But you just had to

come into the studio, throw down on some

wings. I am. Face it. I'm honest kind of

disappointed, Sean. Ooh,

I had high hopes. Well, let's see. I'm

wearing waterproof mascara.

Um, so this one is called appraat.

Okay. I don't love the name. Emphasis on

the hot. I can see it right there on the

label. Mhm.

We get a good bite.

[Music]

There is definitely some spice in my

mouth, but I can deal with it.

So, yeah. Can you give me two things you

love and one thing you don't about being

a hamster mom? Two things I love and one

thing you don't.

First of all, they are adorable and so

funny to look at and fluffy is number

one. Second part is you get to feed them

which is also really fun

and cute. And one thing I don't like

about it is they are constantly

constantly running on that wheel and

does not stop. Even if you want some

peace of mind, they're like, "No, I'm

going to do my cardio of the day." Oh,

this is Oh, we here at the the bomb

beyond insanity.

Take a photo of me in case this might be

the last last little beef that I take.

It's the bottom. Okay, this one looks

scary, too. I know.

Oh, no. This is no joke.

You're scrambling trying to find

something, anything over there. That's

smart. Got a new napkin.

This is I know. Go ahead. Get up, take a

lap, do whatever you have to do.

Walk it out. Just open that window and

scream. You know, in times like these.

That's all right.

So, I'm a big fan of the uh cooking

tutorials that you do.

[Music]

I did.

What's the key to folding a perfect

mandeue?

I think

one second, please. Yeah, take your

time. Take your time.

I'm in pain. Yeah, it's all right. Let

it out. Let it out. It's that moment,

you know. Is this the spiciest thing

you've ever eaten in your life?

[Applause]

Guys, yeah, I know. I can't hear

anymore.

God, help. Help me. There's no help.

There's no help. You're just stuck on

this YouTube show. For better or worse,

at times like these, definitely worse.

I am now

shaking. Yeah.

But you've made it so far.

But you've made it this far. I would

never eaten anything like that. Never.

Yeah. And probably never again. I would

I would never Oh my god, guys. Guys,

Mandu. Yeah, I think the key is to just

like squeeze it really well. I'm so

sorry. I can't even speak. I knew this

would happen. This is why I warned you

people.

[Music]

I am now unable to. Here you go. Here's

some ice cream.

This is kind of nice in times like

these.

I can't breathe.

And then just be careful around the

eyes. Just be careful around the eyes.

Don't touch the eyes.

Where am I? Who sent me home? I want to

go home.

I'm having trouble understanding English

right now. No, I get that. Yeah. Does it

Has anyone felt that? I've never You

know what though? I wouldn't be able to

tell, Jenny. I would not be able to

tell.

You know, I know what you're going

through in the whole set. It's so just

all closing in on you. It is. Right. It

really is. And the spice, it's attacking

your brain. It's attacking the way that

you think. It's attacking the way that

you talk. And then here you are on this

show tethered to it, a hostage on how it

works. I know. I know. You and me both

with every wing. It's like a new thing

is unlocked, right? But we also feel so

alive, you know? Right. or dead.

It's the stages of life. Exactly, Jenny.

You know. Okay. Okay. I am okay now. And

now here's the problem with this show

is that there's a storm, right? And then

the storm ends, the rain ends. Mhm. And

the clouds break, and the sun comes

through again. Mhm.

But then the next wing, if you're ready

to move on, I I I am going to be brave.

You know, I'm here. You're making me

brave. I'm catching a second hand from

you. This one is called Sucker Punch.

Oh, I have a bad feeling.

My body is shaking.

[Music]

This might heat me back up. So, I'm so

scared. I like that. Always looking on

the uh bright side.

I don't even know what I'm staring at at

the moment,

by the way.

Oh, no. I know. I know.

Not fun. It's right by any means. It's

here again.

It's here.

I get it. I know. I know.

Help.

Has anyone died here? No. No.

Everyone makes it through. Fainted. No,

you'd be the first. But like, let's

let's stay on our feet. Let's stay on

our feet. You got this.

Do you have a favorite Capy Barara fun

fact? You know, I recently learned that

they can stay underwater for 5 minutes

and then they'll sometimes sleep with

their noses sticking out of the surface

like near the waters. They do that. They

do that. Heavy is really

spicy.

It's so spicy.

I've recently had one come to me for my

music video. They actually feel like a

really big hedgehog, but not as spiky.

Give me your perspective of that wig.

Okay, here's what I think. Let's not

dab. Sometimes we'll open up the top.

We'll dab it. Let's chill on that. Okay,

you've gone through enough.

But it's like, but there's just one

more. And like, think about it. You'll

go home tonight, you'll think about

like, "Oh, I just had one more. I just

had one more." I hate that feeling.

Right. Exactly. And we don't want that

feeling. Okay. So, maybe we just do like

a little bite on Wing 10, you know? What

I'm now more surprised is when I was

watching this show. Mhm. I love to also

listen to the interviews that you were

doing with your guest. I'm giving you

nothing here. You're giving me a lot.

I'm giving you tears and screams. Those

are great. Are you sure? Yeah. I mean,

we built an empire on that.

I came to conquer, so I will.

I did not come here to give up.

The beauty of it is it looks so normal.

It looks so plain. The power that it

holds. Yeah. You know what? It's it's

it's a metaphor even for the show. You

know, it's just this very simple black

curtain set. Mhm. But then the taste,

the flavor of all. Honestly, those two

when I had it, this room felt like

something else. I swear to God, you

entered a dream state. Yeah. Yeah.

Just take like a tiny little Yeah.

Little tiny bit.

[Music]

With that bite, Jenny, you have

conquered

the Hot Ones gauntlet.

And join Rosé and Lisa as accomplished

Hot Ones alum.

Do you have a message? I think I'm

allergic to spice.

I'm telling you, my spine is like

shaking on me.

Do you have a message for J Su? Oh yes.

Like do you think you could convince her

to come on the show? 100%. Because she

is the one who taught me spicy and she's

the she's the other you. Like she made

me eat spicy food with her ever since we

were Chinese.

So I think Shundi should come on this

show. You're going to love it.

Whatever Rosie and Lisa did,

this is the real reaction.

They I cuz I watched your episode and

they were so chill about it. So I was

like, if they're doing it, maybe I could

do it, too. But I can't. You can. I

can't. You can. And you did. Look at

you, Jenny, taking on the wings of

death, living to tell the tale. And now

there's nothing left to do but roll out

the red carpet for you. I'm like

shaking. This camera. This camera. This

camera. Let the people know what you

have going on. Hi.

There. Something has opened up in my

nose. And I got

This is not pretty at all. But it's

okay. You make it look good.

Well, maybe I can help. The new album is

called Ruby. Oh, I was I was supposed to

Please help me out. The new album's

called Ruby and it's out now. Make sure

you pick it up cuz Jenny did not suffer

in vain over here.

[Applause]

Wow.

I'm so happy. But I'm so sorry I was not

able to answer most of your questions.

But I I I'm telling

I think from from this one

from then on it just it's a party. It's

a

It's kicking me. Oh my god.
