Bon Voyage S2 EP.6 - Hoseok & Namjoon’s conversation

(re-translated by request)

Hoseok: I haven’t gone on a real trip before, not even once. The Bon Voyage trip was my first…

Namjoon: For me, the fact that we can stay together until the end of the trip… (shakes hands) Since I couldn’t stay till the end last time.

Hoseok: How was last time?

Namjoon: Last time?

Hoseok: After you left first.

Namjoon: I couldn’t go anywhere other than the convenience store, for real. And my studio. I wrote a song in tears, you know. That song was one of the only 2 songs that got confirmed among the songs I sent in one year. Among all the songs I wrote in one year.

Hoseok: Really?

Namjoon: That song was one of those 2.

Hoseok: Seems like you make quite a lot of songs.

Namjoon: No, it’s not that many, I just take a lot of time working on one.

Hoseok: Oh, really?

Namjoon: Yeah, it takes longer than you think.

Hoseok: I’m writing a song recently too…

Namjoon: You should release it, it’s time.

Hoseok: I should.

Hoseok: I always feel this but I envy you.

Namjoon: I envy you. (laughs)

Hoseok: Why do you envy me?

Namjoon: You’re always… You’re the most professional-like in our team. You’re stable and I think that’s how a celebrity should be. I like that. Suga-hyung always jokes “Let’s do a rap line concert”, you know. But it can’t come true right away, it’s hard. I don’t have that many songs. There’s only a few thing I can do. I was only able to write 1 song while in America. I always find it hard to connect the verse and the hook.

Hoseok: Yeah.

Namjoon: When I first make the beat. Suga-hyung is incredible. I feel that sometimes when I listen to ‘Dead Leaves’ or ‘Tomorrow’.

Hoseok: Right.

Namjoon: I really respect Suga-hyung for writing songs for Bangtan. When it comes to writing Bangtan songs…

Hoseok: Right, it’s hard.

Namjoon: I have always wanted to talk about this with you.

Namjoon: People say this. “Taehyung and Jimin look very close, but Hoseok and Namjoon, one is in charge of dancing and one is in charge of rapping”…

Hoseok: Actually we talked a lot more than they think.

Namjoon: No, we talked a lot from time to time.

Hoseok: We talked a lot. I always came look for you when I had a slump in music.

Namjoon: I don’t know about you but, it’s true that you play a very big role of an axle to our mood, in another direction from me. And to be honest, I think you also help fulfilling what I can’t as a leader in the team, mentally.

Hoseok: No…

Namjoon: I’m serious. I’m all about external affairs.*

(*Namjoon means that while he takes care of the more professional matters of the tean like representing them in front of the outer world, Hoseok takes care of the team’s atmosphere and mood.)

Hoseok: Hey, thank you.

Namjoon: Me too.

Hoseok: For real.

Namjoon: No. You know what I think it’s dramatic? I heard you wrote that during Bon Voyage season 1.

Hoseok: They asked in the interview, “Where do you want to go?”, I said “Me? Shouldn’t I want to go to Hawaii at least once?”. The next question was “If you were to go with the members, who do you want to go with?” and I answered, “I want to go with Rap Monster, my same-aged friend”…

Namjoon: Wow.

Hoseok: We didn’t get that kind of chance often, you know.

Namjoon: I was wrong. I shouldn’t asked Hobi to go grab a cup of beer, I should have asked to go grab a cup of peppermint tea.

Hoseok: My favorite tea?

Namjoon: Yeah, you like peppermint tea, don’t you. I can’t understand people who drink peppermint tea.

Hoseok: We actually talk a lot. We talk a lot but it’s just that my character and his character on camera don’t coincide that much and we don’t have many in common, so people might think like that, but in reality, if I were to pick whom I talk with the most, I would pick this friend here.

Namjoon: We talk about trivial stuffs and also serious stuffs, thanks to that.
