👤: since you’re already practicing guitar anyway, play the guitar at a concert, too! #HANBIN: i’ll play it live for you. i don’t know if that will be possible, but i’ll try my best. if i think, “ah, i can do this,” then i’ll do it. but if i think, “ah, this isn’t gonna work,” then i just won’t do it. so if i end up not doing it, i’d appreciate it if you just thought, “ah, i guess it just wasn’t doable for him.”

hanbin talking about not spending money that much but spends money buying books (and daily essentials) 👤: what have you been spending money on lately? 🐥: these days, i don’t spend money at all. well, saying “not at all” might be an exaggeration, but i barely spend anything. seriously, hardly anything. 🐥: there’s nothing i want to buy. there’s nothing i want to own, either. so my money only goes out for everyday expenses. just everyday basic daily living expenses… just daily living expenses. impressive, right? i think that’s a good thing. 👤: aren’t you kind of a cheapskate? 🐥: i might have a little bit of a cheapskate tendency, but it’s not that i’ve become stubbornly stingy or anything. it’s just that i don’t have anything i particularly want. since i don’t have any strong desires or ambitions to own things, sometimes i have trouble understanding why i need to buy something. 🐥: anyway, the point is i barely spend money these days. 👤: B.I is practically practicing being thrifty and frugal!! 🐥: i’m being thrifty and frugal, but it’s not like i’m intentionally trying hard to save money. it just turned out that way naturally. 👤: so your biggest expense must be books, then? 🐥: yeah, pretty much, the like that. my biggest expenses are when i buy books or just everyday necessities.

👤: you hate waiting in line, right? you won’t be able to go to popular restaurants, then. #HANBIN: i hate waiting in line. but not all good restaurants are the ones that have long queues, you know… i prefer finding those hidden local gems. i mean, when a place has a long queue, it usually means it’s gotten popular through word of mouth or gone viral, or that it has a good reputation for its food and service. but there must still be plenty of places that haven’t gotten that kind of attention yet. the challenge is finding those places.

👤: recommend a Hanbin song that’s good to listen to in the winter. if there aren’t any, “Endless Winter” (yeongwonhan gyeoul) is the best alternative. #HANBIN: “Endless Summer" (yeongwonhan yeoreum) is the absolute best! oh, should i do that? “Endless Winter,” “Endless Spring,” “Endless Autumn”… a whole series of eternal seasons. they’re seasons, right? i’ll probably run out of ideas, though. but who knows? maybe i’ll run out of ideas and end up reusing old material. but as long as i can reuse it well, that’s fine, right? if i can do it in a fresh and creative way, people might appreciate that, too. 👤: “yeongwonhan yeoreum” does roll off the tongue the best, though. HANBIN: yeah... well depending on the vibe, that could be true.

👤: promise us you’ll release your demo songs! #HANBIN: okay, i’ll definitely release the demo songs someday. i can’t promise when, though, but i’ll release them for sure.

👤: why do you keep going viral for things like that? #HANBIN: oh, really??? but i don’t even know what i went viral for. i wish i went viral for my songs or lyrics instead. the last viral thing i saw was being talked about was because of the lyrics to… what was it again? “LOVER BOI” don’t things like that go viral anymore? do i only go viral for these silly, random ramblings of mine? i haven’t seen it myself, so i don’t know. oh, hanbin!! people keep talking about your songs almost every week!!! 😭 @shxx131bi131

👤: this week, another topic [of you] went viral… bungee jumping. that thing where they give you 1 billion won to go bungee jumping. #HANBIN: but what did i say the answer was? “as long as i am alive” right, as long as i am alive... i don’t know but i think almost everyone would do it, except for the super-rich, the ultra-super-rich, almost everyone would do it. is it hard? is it hard to do bungee jumping when they’re giving you 1 billion won? i think everyone would do it. but i guess the idea here is that, you could earn money easily and then invest more of it into the things you do. the more, the better. “people even pay money to do the jump, anyway.” right, you normally pay money to do it. that’s what bungee jumping is in the first place.

hanbin said go make a book club for IDs!! 😹 👤: let’s start a book club with IDs! everyone’s welcome. let’s stop watching dopamine-addicting short-form content and read books together. #HANBIN: that is so true. we need this. we really do, especially in this day and age. since it’s not easy for me to just organize something like that myself right now, so how about you all start one among yourselves first? a book club… a reading and discussion group. we need that. we’re way too addicted to short-form content these days. reels, shorts, what else is there? tiktok, and x…

👤: the world is way too tiring for a weak little anchovy with no energy. 🐥: the world itself isn’t tiring... wait, “the world is way too tiring” i think that part is actually true. but i don’t think i’m the only one who feels tired. isn’t society as a whole itself feel a bit exhausting? or is it just me who feels that way? but even if society feels exhausting, as long as i don’t actively participate in that society, i don’t feel that tired personally. 👤: that definitely fits an avoidant type! in the end, since you achieved stability, you’re an avoidant type masquerading as a secure type. 🐥: an avoidant (hae-pi-hyeong) type would save the world... i mean, if it has to be me, i’ll do it, but if there are other heroes besides me, i’d just hide my powers and live normally. i’d live as a hidden powerhouse. if it absolutely has to be me, well, there’s no choice. #HANBIN #김한빈 #비아이
