[English]

[BAEMON is back with their powerful track 'WE GO UP']

[Fully energy] [From power rapping]

[To a dazzling vocal show]

[With a bonus of BABY moments]

[First up in recording] We're heading to record 'WE GO UP' today

I'm nervous

(Guide) Want to practice a few times on top?

Yes

[Warming up with some light practice]

ASA, put some more anger into it!

[A strong song like this needs high energy] Oh, got it

[Glasses off] [Swoosh]

[Pulling energy from deep within...]

(TETO ASA stand by) Okay

[Practice is over] [Serious recording begins]

[Power UP]

[A tone more powerful than in practice]

[Forget EGEN ASA for a moment]

[Crazy power] [She's TETO herself today]

(Satisfied)

[ASA wraps up recording in a flash] The energy's great

[The next day]

[ASA is recording again..?]

[30 minutes ago]

[ASA returns to the recording studio] Hello

What's bothering you, huh?

They sent the monitor audio to my phone

-My voice sounded too weak - Too weak?

I want to go a bit more higher with my tone

[ASA wants to re-record in a high tone] Like the rap tone I usually do

[Thus begins ASA's high-tone version re-recording]

Oh

[Still not satisfied] I'll do it again!

[Until she's happy with it]

[Going over it, again and again]

Can I listen to it from outside?

- It sounds stronger through the headphones - No, listening from outside is better

[Passionate ASA monitors thoroughly] The new version you just did

(Monitoring)

[Her rap is more energetic after the re-recording]

[Totally satisfied]

[Passionate ASA wraps up her re-recording] Thank you, great work, everyone

[Next up is RORA]

(I ask for your kindness)

Up High for me baby, High for me baby oh

Up like whoa

[Nailed it in one go] Love it

[I practiced a fair bit] Really? Wow

The sound comes out so perfectly spot on in the 'High' part

[RORA's energy fits this track perfectly] The song needs to come out big like that

[Doing great, so let's go one more time]

[I♥RORA] I think she's doing amazing

[Moving on to the next part]

Oh! That’s really great

[Floods of compliments] That’s impressive

[Goodbye to the hard recording days] It's my first time doing something like this

['HOT SAUCE'] Oh my gosh

[RORA went through some great growth]

RORA, great job

[Wraps up recording quickly!] Thanks

(Victory V-sign) Done

[Meanwhile, a girl lost in thought by herself]

AHYEON came in and killed it, you know?

[AHYEON just finished her recording with a powerful rap]

[CHIQUITA needs a similar energy]

How do I make it stronger...

A-HYEON and my voice volume are different

Even when A-HYEON just goes ah,

[Her extraordinary volume makes it sound big] her voice just booms

Uwaaahhh

[Less thinking, more Just Do It] Go stronger

Yeah, make it stronger

[CHIQUITA begins recording] Shall we try?

Nobody do it like this Nobody nobody do it like this

You're never catching me slip I switch it on with a flick of the wrist

Bring out the voice tone more

Right now it's kind of

[Focused]

[You're never catching me slip] [This part, your voice hides a bit]

[Practices right away] You're never catching me slip

Okay!

[Second attempt]

[Volume decreases again]

[Stressful]

[Recording continues the next day] [Trying gestures as well]

[Moving the body while practicing]

[Endless repetition]

[The result of the intense practice...?]

You're never catching me slip!

(Satisfied)

[Continuing to record the next part]

It needs to be higher and stronger

(Like this?) I!

[Come on, let's have it strong!] icons be icons

[Tightening her core and giving it a go again]

Cause icons be icons

So tiring...

I really need to put a lot of strength in it

But it’s fun though

[Listening carefully to the recording]

[Result of practice] [An energetic part completed!]

Out you come!

[(Congrats) CHIQUITA escapes the recording studio (Congrats)]

Finally, malatang!

[Ordered malatang as a reward for hard work] Ordered malatang

I should order some malatang

[CHIQUITA's malatang order list] Glass noodles, Chinese glass noodles

Added enoki mushrooms and cabbage too

200g of meat

[Just thinking about it makes me happy] Eat a lot

[Malatang] Thank you

Goodbye

[Malatang girl happily leaves work]

Who’s the owner of the sweet voice?

[Introducing the nice vocals of PHARITA]

[When we pull up] It's a high note...

[Starting recording from the high-pitched part] Let me try this part, "When we pull up"

When we pull up, know it's all on site

I think you can do better

[I’ll go stronger on the ‘When’] Let's focus on getting the 'When' just right

[Even though it’s a high note, it’s very refreshing]

Oh nice,

What do you think RITA?

Sounds good, right?

[Cool as always when receiving compliments] Yeah

[And on the day of recording other parts]

[Hello unnie!]

(Spots her)

[Responding with a dance]

Last time... during the behind-the-scenes...

[Perfectly reenacting]

[Joking around] [Shoo shoo AGAIN]

[Joking's over, time to record]

[Overseen by the Executive Producer]

You should keep at it until you're happy with it

When we hear it, it’s not bad, you know?

Isn’t it too soft? Is it okay?

Then let's try doing it again

[Refocusing for recording]

What do you think about that one RITA?

[Very satisfied] I’m. Happy. With. It

[Chic PHARITA] [Ends recording coolly]

[Next recording artist steps up] Hi there

(Hehe)

[RUKA KAWAI getting ready to record]

Are you ready?

Just a moment

[Gathering herself]

[Tightening up]

[RUKA's signature recording style complete]

[RUKA begins recording]

[KAWAI mode OFF]

[Unleashing charismatic rapping]

When you did it earlier,

Ti dal wave, that was pretty good, you know?

[KAWAI mode ON] I did it like that?

[Sounding like her voice flipped]

Ti dal...

(Uh-oh?)

[It just flipped!]

(How did I do it...)

Just give it the vibe

[KAWAI mode OFF]

Ti dal wave, ti dal wave

[Nailed the vibe perfectly]

It's pretty good!

[KAWAI mode ON] [Hehe]

- Wanna do the intro, RUKA? - Yeah

[Playing the guide]

Yeah

UH

UH-HUH

[A cool ad-lib-filled intro]

You can just sound defiant, I think

(Got it)

[On a mission to sound defiant]

Yeah

UH

Uh-huh

[...]

So cute...

[Can't hide the KAWAI anymore] RUKA

Can you do it with a bit more attitude?

Uh-huh

A little more!

Uh-huh

[...] Still too cute

You're too nice!

I'm a nice person, you know...

[MONSTER summon urgently needed] Bring the MONSTER in

(Calmly summoning the MONSTER)

[????]

[Feels like a different MONSTER has awakened...]

[Lol] So cute, so cute

[The cool MONSTER will have to wait for another time...]

[Higher pitch MONSTER AHYEON appearing with some warm-up exercises]

[Even doing warm-ups during mic check]

[Why is AHYEON warming up so much?]

Actually, I was taking some salt bread to the director

[Suddenly asked to sing 'WE GO UP'] And then he suddenly asked me to sing

So, I it up one key, then two keys higher

and went up 3 keys and 4 keys until it was 4 keys up, really

[Was just trying to give some salt bread]

[A funny story of gaining +4KEY] I just shared some salt bread

What should I do about the ad-lib...

[AHYEON here to record the (+4KEY) ad-lib she was worried about]

I do this with a full voice?

That's totally doable for you isn't it?

(Goes for it right away)

[Told you you're good at it]

[Recording starts in earnest]

I'll never stop, don't forget we gon' make history

[Handled that +4KEY effortlessly]

[One shot, one kill] Okay, that was perfect

[Now, let's continue with the next line]

[At this point, she's like shooting energy blasts with her high notes]

(The middle part) Compared to the start, the energy drops

You've got to carry the energy from the start all the way through

[Energized and ready for re-recording]

(Maintaining that energy) Ah ahaha

[Completely satisfied] The energy there is just right

[Next] Let's take the B.A.B.Y.M.O.N now

N

N was really good

[A little less satisfying] Let's redo B.A.B.Y.M.O

B.A.B.Y.M.O.N

That's nice!

[Insane vocals that could seal the HONMOONl]

But, by any chance...

How about adding a little whistle-like sound?

What do you think about adding something like this in quietly?

Want to give it a try?

(Warming up for the super high notes)

[!!!!]

AHYEON, do whatever you feel like

[Welcome to AHYEON's "WE GO-pitch Up" Show]

[Unshakeable high notes]

[Staccato high notes]

[Even hitting high-note ad-libs from different lines]

[Must have been a nightingale in a past life]

(I’ve become a fan again) Sounds so amazing

[And with AHYEON's "We Go-pitch Up" Show ending] Great job

[Recording for "WE GO UP" concluded] Thank you for your hard work

[BABYMONSTER always striving to showcase something new]

[This recording filled with even more intense energy]

['WE GO UP' with MONSTIEZ'!]
