    hearing him talk so openly about the harsh reality of being a kpop trainee is what everyone needs to hear. that line of work is no joke. be kind to your idols, guys.
  • Ollie, you're not wrong. Going into anywhere in the US with a British accent will immediately raise you to smart casual dress level, regardless of what you're wearing.
  • @Fugababe
    Woosung is so poetic. The way he perceive things is an eye opener. This guy is so underrated and needed to be heard by all.
  • I love Woosung’s perceptions about life. He is such an honest, pure soul. Love his voice and his music!
  • @yuyu2007
    I really appreciate the honesty about Woosung’s experience.
  • @joebenzz
    Ollie: "I hate those guys! I stepped on one." Urchin: "Dude, i'm litterally not moving, That's on you."

    "everybody was like, hey this is not gonna work out. you guys have to dance" - the struggles of kbands :( as someone who enjoys listening to bands/kbands, it really makes me sad how they really have to fight their way to be able to share their music. thank you, Woosung, for sharing your experiences and I wish you, The Rose, and the rest of the kbands all the best!
  • @babyemoa4917
    I am so excited for 'MOTH", his stance on the butterfly and moth relation made me teared up a bit. I could understand so much being just like everybody else, also more than capable on doing things like the rest but never given the chance because of a mere outer appearance, it sucks. I really love what Woosung is trying to put out there, I am going to support him and his band from now on.
  • @khalilahd.
    I love how honest Woosung is. You can tell he’s being so genuine and transparent. He definitely would have been a good psychologist. Loved this interview 💛
  • @gowriririri
    OMG WOOSUNG AND JOLLY TOGETHER IS SUCH AN ICONIC THING
  • @ThatsLoyfee
    I love Woosung going in for the America bro hug at 0:29 and then panic half-bowing a bit when he’s greeted with 반갑습니다
  • @drizzlosis94
    I could listen to Woosung talk for hours. I just love his perceptions about life and he's so honest about everything. I really love his voice and their songs.
  • @ehmjey7567
    as someone studying psychology: everytime i hear Woosung talk I think „He would have made a great psychologist or therapist“. Even without studying it in Uni he has a very good and nuanced understanding of the human experience it seems, a good perspective on life and his own experiences and a great way of communicating it. I am so happy he went for music, but i think he does also have a natural „talent“ for psychology.
  • @jren3246
    I just want a podcast with Josh, Ollie and Woosung they're so entertaining to listen to, just talking about life, strugles and all that is very therapeutic.
  • @Ramboldt
    I've been a fan of The Rose and Woosung's voice ever since I first heard one of their songs, but this video really renews my respect for them.
  • “How can they be that evil in life and that tasty in death?” Hahahaha Ollie you never fail 😆
  • @sabi06
    I’m so glad u guys did this. Woosung deserves everything he has now. Can’t wait until the other members return.
  • @jeffhardysoul
    One of the rare times when the story overwhelms the food... Really enjoy a chill, passionate, good vibes person like this, definitely gonna check out the band's music
  • I love how conversation-centered this video was! I was soo hooked by woosung’s story and like he’s such a good conversationalist that you feel like you’re willing to hear him talk forever and you won’t get tired of it! Also i have a whole new profound respect for him and the rose i love their songs but had no idea this is how they started!

    Man, Woosung doesn't even know how deep he struck me with that talk about his music career. I was a top student in my high school. Got the best SAT scores and graduation exam scores out of everyone in my year. People were telling me "OMG, with these kinds of results, you can go anywhere you want, you'll be unstoppable" and stuff. They've been honestly telling me that for almost all my life, so I was kinda numb for that at first, but when high school came around all that talk made me think maybe I can get into some good universities and put these grades to use. However, looking back, I know that deep down I didn't really believe in that dream of going to the best colleges and getting the best education to get the best jobs, but I felt obligated to have that kind of a dream. I didn't really excel in my applications to the best colleges, which was a big blow to my self-image, but I didn't want it to affect me that much so I arrogantly plowed through. In the end, I got into the best university in a foreign country with the pressure from my parents, but certainly not up to the standards that I thought I had, so I was very bummed out deep inside. Fast forward, it's my fourth year in what was supposed to be a four-year degree but now has extended to five and that's in the best case scenario. My grades steadily declined semester after semester with so many fails with 5 Fs and a single C in my recent semester. Yesterday, I got an email from my university about how they cut me almost half of my scholarship. I had a 100% scholarship with a free dormitory when I started and over the years, it slowly went down to this. I turned into a recluse, became super lazy (not that I wa particularly hard-working before), bitter and depressed, gained 30-40 pounds of weight and am just sitting here being nothing but a financial burden to my family with 5 kids. I know that if I look objectively it's all really my fault. But at this point it feels like there's no point in anything. I can't really tell that to my family cuz they support me a lot and it would be cruel to tell them about all my dark thoughts, and I don't have many friends as a result of isolating myself and ghosting everyone I knew so not too much sollace there either. So what do I even do? People had so many expectations of me and I was a too much of a coward to admit to myself, on time, that I didn't want to or didn't have enough strength to deliver on their expectations. I came to know this guy for the first time in this video (I remember listening to a bit of Rose here and there but nothing too major) and already see so much of myself in his earlier years. I hope I find the same kind of strength in myself that Sammy found through his journey because there's no other way at this point
