Oh my But this place is approved by Michelin So I'm really looking forward to it Also, TAEYONG. . .

(Controlling himself) Our guest I shouldn't have said it. . .

(regretting) (Today's restaurant) First, the atmosphere (Sushi Yokoda (Michelin for 8 consecutive years / rooms) (Sushi and tempura with carefully selected ingredients) (Trudging) (Suddenly walking sideways) (He suddenly feels embarrassed) I feel embarrassed Come on One, two, three DOYOUNG and HAECHAN's MUK 2 U We are in Osaka. . .

It felt like a prologue Then, am I the first guest. . .

We'll have some time to talk freely about your album Sounds good Should we order something to drink first? Let's have three draft beers. .

. Three draft beers Sounds good I'll drink everything you drink We'll have 3 draft beers Okay, we'll get it for you It has started right away I'm excited now It's an appetizer, squid pickled in soy sauce Okay What did she say? So, she just explained the side dishes It was pickled in soy sauce.

. . And this is roe.

. . (omitted) That's roughly what she said That was very nice What do you call this?

Is it like an appetizer? First Shouldn't we say hi together? - We should introduce him first - Right, he should say hi Please introduce yourself Okay Hello I'm TAEYONG and I made a comeback as a solo artist with the album "TAP" (Welcome TAEYONG) Let's eat first - I'll enjoy the meal - Please do When we make you talk, you can just relax and answer us anytime Sounds good Also, for omakase, we have some time - between the dishes are served - Right So we can talk in those times (The appetizer even looks good) This looks crazy good Also, this place has one Michelin star - Wow - It has one Michelin star Right, it does It's good TAEYONG how long has it been since you last released an album?

About 8 months? 8 months, I see (Since SHALALA) In a way, it hasn't been that long What's really impressive is that he participated in composing and writing the lyrics for all the songs Also, for the lyrics, he didn't get any help, he wrote them all himself Really? He did That's right - Thank you - Wow.

. . (Drft beer that appears, looking glorious) Cheers, great job today (Gulping.

. . ) (Refreshing.

. . ) (Happiness.

. . ) (Refreshing.

. . ) It's so good - I love it, it's so good - It's really good So good I love it I listened to the song in advance After you released your first mini album, when you release your 2nd album, the singer's artistic identity starts to reveal itself more, right?

But what I felt was that this album has really shown who you are as a solo artist What was different from how you approached this album from the previous one? Did you feel any difference? I definitely felt myself growing through this album Did you feel it yourself?

Yes, I did For the title song and other B-sides, (SHALALA) felt like it was a collection of all the songs I made early in my career But the songs I made that are in "TAP" - You've worked on many songs since then - I made them after some experience So it has my know-how. . .

It's a collection of such songs I may say it's a masterpiece (Too busy looking at the questions) So there's something we prepared We wanted to give you a gift What is it? (HAECHAN and TAEYONG prepared a gift) We went to a mall - Really? - It's a gift I love it First, - Sweet potato - You like the sweet potato tempura (It's whetting the sweet potato addict's appetite) They sell it there Sweet potato and potato chips So that's one This is chocolate covered sweet potato chips It's a bit similar to what we had - yesterday - It is similar (Pupils fluttering) I love it so much This isn't sweet potato?

- It isn't? - It's ginger Whatever Ginger is okay. .

. (Giving the ginger they got by mistake) Are they ginger chips? Oh, I see And then (Urgently taking out the next gift) HAECHAN got that for you I wanted to congratulate you You will be having a concert Right So to congratulate you, (TAEYONG's favorite high-quality liquor) I got Hibiki, which you like At that dinner party, you can share with the people there Seriously - Twenty-one year old - It's really expensive Wow Thank you (The pain of ginger gone with the luxury gift) It just came of age, it's fresh Are you really giving this to me?

Can I just have it? (Bragging about the gift) You can put it in your envelop and take it What's this show about? We won't do that to everyone We don't plan on giving gifts to everyone Really?

I'm so touched I went there and saw it I remember that you liked it So we decided to get it (Second dish appears) It's sashimi already (Sashimi (tuna, scallop, white squid)) (Freshness in one bite topped with wasabi) What was aori? Tuna, scallops I think this is squid I guess aori is squid What is TAP about? It's about.

. . bad guy You wrote the entire lyrics for it, right?

Yes Crazy "Come to me if you want" (A song with a bad guy's flirting) Bad guy It's how I think of a bad guy? - So are you a bad guy? - I didn't know it'd become the title song I'm not bad, you know it (Story about bad guy by a good guy) Not bad I'm not bad Do you love the pure and innocent love?

Yes, I do I bet it could've made you feel a bit proud (TAP was ranked first by the staff) to have that song chosen Honestly, I didn't feel it at first because when I talked with the staff I said it was fine to use my songs for the B-sides But I suggested first that we should go with the song chosen by the company for the title song I didn't want to take the entire responsibility (He felt pressured to work on the title song) But then I totally understand, it can happen But the more I think about it "When else will I get my own song voted as best? " - "When else will this happen? " - Right Anyway, my song won first place Right Congratulations After we finished everything, everyone has been saying, "We're glad we chose TAP as the title song" (That's how well it expresses TAEYONG's identity) Did the directors say it too?

Yes Anyway, SHALALA was shiny and brilliant like the name of the song itself - Yes, it was - Right It twinkled. . .

It was the most splendid ever I was thinking it would be nice if it was a bit more street style Wow (Surprised) The song is catchy But the fashion. . .

Hey I thought it had to be street style But I think (It does have street vibes) we did what you just said Really? Is it more street style? I went to Tokyo right after the Nagoya concert Right, for the music video It had a lot of that street vibe (Filmed in various places) I went to a public bath, a cafe.

. . You can include the title song too for choosing this, but what's your favorite out of the 6 songs?

What's your favorite song in the album? There's a song called Moon Tour - Moon Tour? - Yes When I wrote Moon Tour, I wanted to sing it with all of the NCT 127 members "Moon Tour" is like a trip to the moon But honestly, we haven't really gone abroad together just to have fun, right?

I wrote "Moon Tour" while imagining if we actually did It's as hard for us travel broad together - Right - as going to the moon So that's quite memorable I guess you always end up choosing short and sweet songs like that whenever you have to choose your favorite song I think so, I can't help that I guess that's real me (Salmon roe and sea urchin roe) (Bite of freshness enjoyed with wasabi) There is caviar on top of the sea urchin roe Uni and caviar (HAECHAN is enjoying the meal) I love the tuna Here is what I've been thinking I don't think it's necessary for singers to feel the need to write their own songs - It's not necessary - It's not a must A singer is someone who has to sing well But if you sing the song you wrote, you can definitely sing better Right, it is really true that you can sing it betters Speaking of lyric writing, the lyrics of which song was the easiest to write out of the six songs? TAP TAP? TAP is really just Was it easy to write?

Yes I guess that really was the song It really should've been the title song Talking is so much fun We were so busy eating we didn't get to eat (Forgot about the theme of the show) We still need to talk about the food (The guest quickly gets started) Other places didn't have scallops But the scallops here is really good - I love the scallop - And I recently. . .

Is this salmon roe? I recently to start liking salmon roe I can't eat salmon roe, though You can't? I'll eat it, but I don't like it I love it, I've loved it for a long time I thought was too fishy for me Right, it is fishy But (Story about how he came to love it) There's a convenience store in Japan They had a rice ball with salmon roe There's one that's triangular, not the one that's old That's so good (Getting excited) Salmon roe?

So I bought about two of them and ate it in Korea I've been eating HAECHAN's all this time Speaking of food, you don't eat much If you had to choose one dish to eat before you die, what would you eat? Kalguksu(*Knife cut noodle soup) I knew you like Kalguksu (How he came to like it) My mom brought me most often to Kalguksu with manila clams restaurant I asked my mom why I loved Kalguksu so much And she said she had a lot of it when she was pregnant with me Food with meaning and food I really like - That's what it is - Kalguksu For me, it's a chicken burger Chicken burger (His eyes loses liveliness) Chicken burger That's right, chicken burger (Chicken burger) has vegetables and the sauce It has mayonnaise It does I can't sympathize, but I understand Is it Kimchi stew for you? - It's braised Kimchi - Pork belly and soju?

Braised Kimchi Braised Kimchi With ribs or just pork? I like just pork - Like pork belly? - Yes, pork belly (Looking sparkly upon talking about his favorite dish) What's a dish you can eat the most of?

It's hard The food I can eat the most? It's hard, though - For me, soy sauce marinated crab - (TAEYONG) Desserts? Soy sauce marinated crab?

But it just makes you eat a lot of rice (That's still eating a lot) You can't stop eating the rice Right, you keep eating What I used to eat a lot was the fried corn with that powder sprinkled. . .

You know what I mean, right? It's kind of like a bar snack I think I've had it They season the corn They had it at a snack bar Like that addicting corn dish - Right, it's similar - I used to have that so much It's good I could have that forever - I used to eat that so much - You must keep eating it like it's a snack Then. .

. Let's come back to talking about the album (Suddenly feeling tired) He's feeling tired No You should ask him (He's just busy eating) I'm doing this by myself This is exactly how we said the things would go in the waiting room Refreshing (please proceed) So what you do well and what you want to do well may be different You know what I mean? I do You may want to do this genre But you are good at another genre But this is what you want But people expect you to do something else There can be a gap Right When you have to choose between the two, what do you choose?

(What he's good at versus what he wants to do) Honestly, I choose what I'm good at But like I said last time, I said I wanted to do acting later (He wants to try it) I do think about that You could still be good at it You don't' know since you haven't tried it Actually, I was really surprised when you said that Right? I thought you'd have zero interest in acting So since I was a trainee, I've been thinking I wanted to try acting And I've been looking at my face lately I won't say I look dignified, but I thought I looked okay? - I look a bit more mature - Right I don't look too childish So I've been thinking about that I'm not sure if it's the right choice I am not sure if I will do well either But I do wonder about it I really was surprised I thought he'd love to draw and engage in other creative activities But when he said he wanted to be an actor I did not see that coming If you think about him, he's very much like an entertainer Right Entertainer He's like an entertainer because (Won't care about what others think) there are those who do what they want because they just like art But I don't think TAEYONG is like that - That's right - I think he wants to do what he likes - and what others like too - I want both Don't you plan on doing more acting?

("Dear X Who Doesn't Love Me" Jiho) You did that sukka sukka thing Weren't you the first one to try? - Right - He was I think there's more I want to try besides acting as of now But I do think acting is fun It's so good There's that (Story about acting) There was a scene where I had to fight on a road While filming that scene, I could relieve my stress (The fighting scene relieved his stress) We won't ever really shout out loud in the middle of a road Right We won't Probably never, right? Unless it was for something like that, I would never get to shout like that It relieved his stress Honestly, are there times when you want to cry?

- I do - Yes You want to cry at times, right? Crying relieved my stress Crying scene too? (Sad scene) I cried so much And then I thought to myself, "Have I been wanting to cry lately?

" I felt very thankful for being able to do that To those who see us, we have to show only our good sides (Obviously) you can call performing acting, but we can't get angry on stage - It's not detailed emotion - We can't do that We don't get many chances to express our emotions What about you, HAECHAN? I love watching dramas a lot I do want to do roles that Jo Jung-Seok does It'd be so much fun - (Realistic) daily life acting - I want a role where I just act out daily life That's your charm That wit - Humor - I want to do something fun Like a sitcom - I want to do a sitcom - Oh, sitcoms aren't bad either I want to try a sitcom Let's come back to talking about the album (His MC self is back) As we all know, the album was produced on a very tight schedule After we were done with the tour, we did our own thing But right after that, (TAEYONG had to do many things at the same time) he worked on this album Can you choose what was the hardest for you? Trailer shooting (Searching for TY) The trailer Yes For example, when we film a trailer as a team, - we get more breaks - Right But since I was alone, I couldn't take breaks - Right - That happens So my eyes felt like they would get soaked inside There was a lot to prepare I had to go to many different places too So just Just I wished you were with me I wished I could get a break So that was the hardest You felt that tired physically, but you had to take responsibility You know what I mean?

Right The whole scene was running for you So you should be more responsible I thought, did time go this slowly even when I worked as a team? That's what I was thinking To do all of that by himself. .

. I think I took about 20 scenes I bet it was harder because you can feel the contrast to how you did it as a group Right (Tuna belly, gizzard shad, yellowtail, alfonsino) That's like tuna Tuna belly Isn't this a sea bream? It looks like sea bream Tuna belly Shad Yellowtail Alfonsino Shad Isn't it gizzard shad?

Horse mackerel (It's gizzard gizzard, not horse mackerel) It's horse mackerel Horse mackerel (Melting in his mouth) (Savory fat. . .

) (Truly impressed) It's so good (Blowing his nose with joy) The rice grains It feels like they counted each grain It's so good (TAEYONG, the rice ball, is impressed by the rice grains) Yellowtail I really like yellowtail (Nom) There is salt on the yellowtail This place deserves the Michelin star Since it's your concert alone, you must've had to care a lot about the production Was there a message you wanted to convey through the concert? The name of the concert is "TY TRACK" I saw the poster I used that nickname since I was a trainee It's a diary of my life It's an album made with stories from my life So I wanted to name the concert "TY TRACK" as well The biggest thing I wanted to show myself But first, I'm so nervous That would feel really nerve-wracking You would feel nervous just thinking about it Right Which performance are you most concerned about? Or which song have you been working hardest on?

There's the middle section I go up on a wire I go up like this and when they shoo the laser beam down I have to look as if I'm walking on it There is that scene You'd have to watch how you move your leg (It's like walking on a laser) I have to do it like I'm walking It's like I'm walking in the air (Using wire) On site - You'll have to keep trying - I can only do it for one day Then, are you most concerned about that laser beam scene? Yes, I think so It's a scene that must make you worry (Steamed egg / comes with crab meat and rice cake) Steamed egg THE DREAM SHOW 3 will happen soon That will be my sixth tour (It's the sixth one for HAECHAN) For you, right? For me, it's the sixth tour This is how I've always been thinking about it, so there are parts that I want to do well the technology - But without any technology.

. . - Awesome, what's this?

Is it good? Let me try it too Inside It has something like glutinous rice (=rice cake) (The broth) tastes like beef bone? It tastes a bit like Japanese soup too (Tell me again) Anyway, HAECHAN For "NEO CITY-THE LINK", "Love On The Floor" was the highlight that utilized a lot of technology Right But besides parts with technological things, is there a part you need to handle alone that you are worried about?

What's something you have to do as an artist? So, after I appear (First section "YES") I come up alone and sing That must make you feel so nervous You would feel nervous no matter what I'd feel nervous for you if I attend your concert After I accomplish this, I'll have nothing to be afraid of anymore - That's how I feel about it - That's right So our level of experience isn't that short but then it's not that long as some of other artists - Right - Right But I think we've experienced everything we possibly could There was COVID Right All platforms started to develop Beyond Live was made Short form videos got viral I think we've experienced all promotions of different generations Also, personally, I want to have NCT WISH on the show I get so surprised when I see (NCT WISH) - Since they're too young? - They're too young I just feel like they're working so hard The youngest member (SAKUYA (born in 2007)) is same age as my youngest sibling Really?

So he does feel very young to me too Born in 2007 You can't help but feel you want to take good care of them Right They're babies It's even before you lose baby fat (Story from trainee days) We told them they had to grow taller They had to grow So we told them to eat a lot - And then - You told us to eat two servings But you were the only one - who gained weight - That was just me (HAECHAN was the chubby one) JENO, JAEMIN, and JISUNG They didn't gain weight no matter how much they ate They even had things like fried pork cutlet But I had (HAECHAN didn't know Kimchi stew was fattening) dishes like Kimchi stew (About NCT DREAM) When I see NCT DREAM members. . .

I can't stop thinking they're like babies But I get surprised at times JENO has a great body He has a great body and when he wears an outfit that shows his figure He'd wear a tight tank top at the gym or something He enjoys it himself When I see him like that (JENO is too good) Seriously He's so healthy and strong He feels like a manly man to me There's this too I see HAECHAN and MARK often They still feel young, but for the other NCT DREAM members, I'd see them once in a while Do they feel manly? They don't feel like babies anymore What it feels like to me is they transferred their faces on a grown up body Especially JAEMIN and JENO JAEMIN and JENO look the same as before (Talking about JISUNG) JISUNG is legendary. .

. JISUNG is so. .

. Back in the practice room, we'd get changed because our shirts were soaked in sweat - JISUNG would feel embarrassed. .

. - That's right and hide behind the curtain. .

. (cute) He'd look around and get changed. .

. Right (Shrimp, golden snapper, scallop, broccoli) (Crunchy, to be enjoyed with various salts) The scallop is so good It's fish Is this bell pepper? That's bell pepper?

(DOYOUNG can't tell) Fish? Oh, it's fish, it looks like salmon It's not salmon (Correct answer is fried alfonsino) Since it's white, it is not salmon It's so good (Super crispy) This is curry salt Eat the broccoli, don't be picky I can't eat that - I'll eat it then - Don't be picky (Gift. .

. ) Broccoli is good, what's wrong? I hate broccoli (Rejecting greens) What's this?

(Fried conger eel and soup) (Soft texture eaten with soup) That's amazing Eel (Bonito flakes are good with the soup too) Eel? It's warm, it's dancing (TAEYONG showing bonito fakes dancing) It has ground radish By the time this video is uploaded, your album will be out and you'll be done with your concert Right? - I hope you do well, TAEYONG, please - I hope you do well You will probably cry, right?

I wish they edit this We'll have you say you'll never cry (DOYOUNG even telling how to edit the video) Then, they could edit in the part you're crying Like this (So we added TAEYONG crying as DOYOUNG wanted) (When NCTzen say his name, he started to bawl) (Crying) (He tried to hold it back) (But in the end he's bawling) (He got moist, but he's happy) If I did something by myself, I'd totally cry Even during our concerts, I feel mos emotional during the opening For NEO CITY - THE ORIGIN, we went up the stairs - Right - (During the opening) we went up the stairs When that happened. . .

(He felt too emotional while on the stairs) I kept trying - I felt sad - That's right, DOYOUNG was like that Right I felt emotional. . .

(Getting reminded of the hard work) I felt overwhelmed by the preparation Black Clouds or Pandora's Box (Tear button activated) If I was caught off guard, I'd start feeling emotional (No one can stop crybabies) (The other crybaby empathizes) Once it happens, you can't stop - Like in Drams Come True? - Right (Sea urchin sushi) (Must eat it in one bite wrapped in seaweed) (HAECHAN struggles as it's his favorite) How should I eat it to taste the best? - Will you upload photos too?

- Yes We pinned it on Google Maps. . .

At the end, we have to talk about what dish was the best and things like that Taste. . .

So that fans can get the information too It's really nice (In one bite. . .

) Is it crazy? (10 out of 10. .

. ) It's good, right? It has to be It's the part I look forward to most when having sushi Uni sushi (Applauding softly) I've never had seaweed like this before Excuse me Thank you (Second sushi) (Eel, shrimp, and flounder) Why is the eel so soft?

Wow. . .

(It melts) Yum (Checklist time) We only have desserts left, so let's do this - It's what we always do - Okay Let's review the restaurant and what was it? What was it? - MUK Restaurant List - MUK Restaurant List (The host of the show forgets) We had a course that was 18,980 yen (There are cheaper menus, so feel free) It's the second most expensive one here You wanted to have omakase today Right For omakase, the food is important, but who you come with is also important Aha What will we talk about?

(Good people + conversation + food) I have to give the perfect score I give the perfect score Great Choose your favorite dish Uni Uni Uni and seaweed That was so There's something I'm disappointed about What is it? Since we're in this room, we can't get seconds (Disadvantage of staying in the room) Seconds, I see That's disappointing I personally Gizzard shad (not horse mackerel) Gizzard shad It was the gizzard gizzard for me too Wow So Good sushi is different from the rice That's right I felt that while eating here too The rice grains scattered a bit That's how it is for good sushi But they need to hold firm when you pick the sushi up That's the key But the grains should disperse once you eat it That was exactly what this sushi felt like (Time to write the restaurant list) So, our pick for today is the gizzard shad sushi (He forgets how to go to the next line again) How do you go to the next line? Do you know?

(Surprising fact, TAEYONG only plays games on computers) Use two fingers How do you go to the next line? How do you go to the next line? (More surprising face, HAECHAN doesn't know either) I think you have to press Tap?

I've never used Macbook before How do you change the line? (Don't forget it, DOYOUNG) (To go to the next line, press Ctrl(cmd) + Enter) I don't know anything Make sure to sound expressive as you write it Wow, it's so good Wow? (Drnking green tea) Wow Wow Wow Not recommended for those who drink green tea for the first time (Seasonal fruits, bean jelly, green tea) (Be careful, the green tea is very bitter) It's dense - It's not a tea - We should've taken a selfie too but we forgot (DOYOUNG forgot many things today) You have to make this pose for MUK 2 U Like eating a wrap (Must make it like an ostrich) Don't bend it, hold it up like so Hold it up?

(Check the details for the restaurant list) Good Okay, then MUK 2 U You were the first guest of MUK 2 U Yes How did you feel about coming today? I wasn't too sure whether it was okay to receive such good things during a shoot like this I was so happy to eat a meal and talk about what I've been doing with the members I love - 2nd mini Album "TAP" - 2nd mini Album "TAP" Please show it lots of love (Please show lots of love for TAP and TAEYONG) Please show lots of love for TAP, guys Right, we must put our hands over our belly buttons Then Thank you for today's meal - Bye - Bye I'm full (MUK 2 U will be back with even tastier dishes) I'm so full right now (Who is the guest for the next episode?
