let me warn you that today, the posts will probly be kwanghee biased or whatever i wanna post. why? one reason. because we're celebrating kwanghee's birthday. and bcuz nobody complained when i posted continuous stuffs on some other members like hyungsik....so...try not to have a dissatisfied feeling.

Anyway, i'm going to do some recap on this guesting cuz it's a crazy hoot n i almost died laughing in the middle of the night...okay, already early morning when i listened to it...and my hands were all cold trying to contain from breaking into crazy fit of laughter n shocking my family... :p

as you (should) know...Hot Beat is an English language kpop radio show hosted by Kevin(ZE:A). and Kwanghee will have no problem speaking English no matter how broken it gets. Heechul on the other hand...don't expect much even though his English can sound so attractive.

----------------------------------------------------

-edit- the VODs for both days are here!-

some highlights/unprofessional recap.

- it's funny that in the beginning, kevin was lamenting/dwelling about his mixed feelings at having s as guest...how he's nervous n comfortable n nervous at the same time. lol. it's cute really...ahem..especially if you're in a shipper mindstate like me.

- kevin imitated kwanghee's complaints...but what's new abt that, right? xD

- there's an interpreter with them...but i think even she got a little lost a few times at the rate of craziness going on...n sometimes end up mistranslating but immediately corrected it...i mean duh...those boys are noisy little idiots. can u blame her? but i bet she had fun. xD

- they started with....praises for kevin of course esp for the english...but heechul sounds as nervous as ever...lol. duh, c'mon...u guys would know his english better, silly boys...wae so surprised....xD

- kevin asked them why they're chosen to guest at hotbeat...kwanghee said, for him it's probly cuz he's close friends with kevin but he doesn't know why heechul's there too. lmao. kwanghee. xD heechul said he doesn't know either. kevin said it's cuz they're the best looking members. and Kwanghee get angry saying "YOU LIAR!" hahahah, Kevin then mentioned plastic surgery uh'oh...and kwanghee complained he shouldn't talk about that on air. n then said "I hate you!" hahahah....ahem...of course, kevin apologized n said 'i love you'......(if u can see my face)

- kevin asked if kwanghee n heechul ever invited friends to the dorm/their house...kwanghee said he never invited anyone cuz his room is too dirty...n kevin kept probbing asking if he really never invited anyone...n he insisted never, and then kevin revealed kwanghee invited him to his house when they're trainees...and asked kwanghee if he's not considered a friend (hmm, didn't invite any friend, but invited kevin...not friend...i wonder what's that supposed to mean xD), and kwanghee said he's forced to invite kevin...n kevin said he's sad...n kwanghee said 'i'm sorry'. lmao. (if u can see my face)

- kevin ask same question to heechul, n heechul said he invited his friend to play n eat together i think...excuse my hearing...and he said when he lived alone he always cleaned the room but now he's sharing room with members so it's hard for him to keep the room clean.

- kevin talk about kwanghee's love for fragrances...n asked his fav scents n kwanghee said lilac n soap...n he said that girls think he's a pure guy bcuz of the kinda scents he prefers. n kevin went on saying that when he goes to kwanghee's room...he could smell all those soapy n lilac/jasmine flowery smells but in heechul's room, it's more of manly scents. n asked heechul if he likes those kinda scents perfume?...heechul not-so-interestedly just said 'a lil'. and that he's sharing room with three other members-taehun/minwoo/hyungsik. (ok wait...so, as far as i know...ZE:A members are divided into 2 dorms rite? Kevin/Kwanghee/Siwan/Junyoung in one, and the rest in the other. n if i'm not mistaken, kwanghee mentioned that kevin is roomate with siwan rite? so...what about dongjun? is he in hyungs room or does he roomed together with manager? since he's not in the younger members' room)

- then kwanghee went on talking bout how heechul likes perfume that attracts women...and then kevin n kwanghee got crazy talking jokes only they understand probly...many things are lost in translation/interpretation especially with kevin n kwanghee since they often get crazy n talk too fast...they're two immatured idiots anyway.

- heechul talk about his fav games. all sorts of games. shooting games, role-playing games, all sorts of games.

- kwanghee said he likes to spend his time shopping n sleep. then kevin mentioned about talking with friends. n kwanghee said (he talks with) kevin. n kevin got all upset n complained kwanghee doesn't talk with him at all. n kwanghee retorted. heechul joined saying kwanghee's lying on air. n kwanghee moved forward n ignored the topic, bringing up that he also drinks whisky alone...lmao. kevin said kwanghee drinks the whole bottle alone n kwanghee replied 'i'm a drunk boy, baby'. hahahahah....i'm seriously dying. kevin said he's curious as to why kwanghee drank the whole bottle by himself considering he never saw kwanghee drink...kwanghee gave some silly blabbering answer again 'i'm a strong boy(?)' lmao n said usually he doesn't drink much cuz his face easily flushed when he drinks. kevin asked why he drinks the whole bottle. n kwanghee...started singing 'i'm so lonely' (Spica song lmao) n then the others joined him sing. hahah (not sure kevin n heechul or just one of them)

- kevin asked them about feelings abt comeback...kwanghee said it's good to be back with nine members, but too many members sometimes he felt swapped out or sth...

- kevin asked heechul the member he felt safe with...and heechul answered kevin. lol. bcuz kevin is good at everything. kevin said it's cuz they're in his radio. heechul went saying when he's with kwanghee...he feels like he's with friend i think-my own translation not sure if it's correct...but with kevin he feels like he's with hyung...so he feels safe.

- kwanghee said he needs kevin the most when order food in other countries n in security checkpoint in other countries...n kevin said whenever in hotel and kwanghee wants/needs to order something he'll look for kevin. n kwanghee demonstrated he needs kevin. haha. n kevin said there's manager...and kwanghee said manager can't speak english...lmao....n heechul said even though there are managers n staffs speak english he needs kevin for english. n kevin went on professing his love for heechul. (what the kevin don't be sucha player omg) n kwanghee cut/interrupt him to remind they're going to introduce the next song on air. (haa, jealous much?)...kwanghee n heechul introduced the ghost of wind in the way dongjun always promote its tenor chorus n stuffs n heechul even speak english a tiny bit there. after the song...kwanghee did some singing of the song...kwanghee style of course...xD

- they went to the quiz n kevin explained they bought the CDs themselves to give as giveaways. kwanghee complained the question is too easy. yeah, i noticed that always. lol.

- there's question from listener: asking kwanghee if he has anything to reveal on air. kwanghee revealed that kevin is pretending to be cute lately eventhough he wasn't like that before. kevin broke into priceless laughter at the background. kwanghee said kevin also nag him a lot reminding him to wave n give fanservice, wink and all....n i think kwanghee said kevin is too old for that-he's aging, they're already too old for that. heechul asked kevin to show his aegyo...n kevin demonstrated it...making those two guests go crazy n kwanghee said 'i hate you.' lol.

- another question for heechul: asking about opinion about ZE:A4U only getting to promote in Japan, whether they're not disappointed. Heechul answered no, cuz wherever they go, fans support them.

- kevin asked what genre they want to try next? kwanghee mentioned n sing a bit to lee hi....he wanted to do soulful music. kwanghee started singing some english song which he said is keyshia cole's love. the interpreter, blair was impressed with kwanghee, she thought he did better than she expected. kevin was sort of impressed too. actually that was still kwanghee style singing, he can do even much better when he's serious. n kevin had to end with 'we love you kwanghee'....hmm...'we'? or 'i'? oh please excuse me...heechul said he wanted to do hiphop. kevin n kwanghee asked him to do some rapping. n heechul asked kevin to do it cuz he's good at it, but the two elders complained that it's kevin's show n he should show his talents as a guest...heechul said he would do it next time. sigh heechul. i don't know bout this boy. i can see that the company n members are trying to push him forward now for the next wave of individual fame...i can see it just by how he's been stuck to kwanghee in so many schedules lately....since it's kwanghee's role to pull s forward...but the thing is...heechul has been losing sparks lately. he doesn't seem passionate about making it big...idk....it worries me. back then, heechul is just like....right behind kwanghee ready to take the reign of variety....he's the same type of kwanghee...they're probly not funny naturally, but they work hard for it....building up a personality...n i respect that. but lately even hyungsik is way funnier. n hyungsik isn't someone who need to try to be funny. he's the naturally funny type. idk...i think heechul need to get it together....everyone's pulling him now....the only thing left is for him to pull himself along. what happened to the lively heechul? :/ my solution: drink less cola!!! haaa...probly it's the cola making him tired n not -focused...lol.

- fan question: about difference of fan in Korea n foreign countries n about members' popularity in different countries. kwanghee talked about not much difference but in Abu Dhabi fans don't shake hand cuz of religion n culture while in some countries fans like to hug n all...this is where i feel embarrassed and upset. personally, nothing to do with ZE:A. i came from a Muslim country. skinships are forbidden for Muslim of different gender outside of marriage or blood related family relationship. yeah, my country is multiracial n multireligion but the official religion is still Muslim. n yet ZE:A won't associate my country with such image cuz the fans, even those in my religion, would not hesitate to initiate skinships with idols. i know there are some who doesn't...and i respect them for not succumbing to what majority does. but personally, i'm upset. i'm trying not to judge...but religion, for me is something that comes in black n white. especially when you are in control of yourself....n for ZE:A not getting the same vibe of religion/culture from my country....i'm just a little upset. i know kids in my country these days are getting so ually advanced anyway compared to my days...where there are higher percentage of innocence n purity lol. idk...religious rules is a serious issue though, for me. idk. 

- then they continued talk about popular members in diff countries. kwanghee said in Asia- dongjun, kwanghee, siwan. and heechul said - 'no kwanghee' lol. kwanghee continued saying in japan - 'heechul, minwoo, hyungsik'. then he said kevin is not popular anywhere. the interpreter tried hard to not laugh. then kwanghee continued 'i'm sorry kevin, it's true.'...n kevin sounded exasperated. lol. n kevin continued saying 'this is why i don't want kwanghee being in my studio' ...'uh'oh...kevin got angry...then kwanghee tried to say something but kevin started shouting he didn't like/want kwanghee...lmao throwing tantrum...trust me, only kwanghee can give that effect on someone  even as cool as kevin...xD then kwanghee continued 'kevin is popular in europe, and heechul continued 'america', blair the interpreter accidentally translate as africa n  they went crazy making fun of it...n kevin continued saying he does have fans in africa...n keep saying 'everybody loves me'....hahahah... okay, now this is another issue i want to address...the message board filled with people scolding kwanghee for being a meanie to say kevin's unpopular. although many of them are probly joking but this one-sided sentiment tend to spread fast. selective hate is the trend, so i need to say i'm surprised nobody bothered about the part where kwanghee said kevin's popular in europe n stuffs...because they're obviously joking around. and kwanghee even apologized again after that, can be heard in background. but nobody bothered that part. even though kevin already acknowledged it and said it's okay he knows everyone loves him. lol. sigh. why is it considered okay n funny whenever other members talk bad about kwanghee but why do people get serious when it's kwanghee talking not-positively about other members? why is the double standard so palpable? why? 

- fan question again: about which girlgroup member that makes them nervous when meet on music shows/girlgroup members they like or sth like that. kevin n kwanghee was quick to point to heechul. again. heechul dodged the question to others to answer first after kevin n kwanghee encouraged him so much......i'm seriously wtf-ing...heechul get your act together...why always so lacking spirit for anything? kwanghee mentioned uee n krystal - saying he love her...lol...n then remembered his wife, sunhwa n mentioned her as well. things got quiet n heechul broke into laughter. kevin called kwanghee a bad boy for liking 3 girls at once. heechul said he'd just mention the group...and said he likes a-pink...and kwanghee said heechul's hyungsik rival...lol. heechul said he liked apink first. kwanghee said hyungsik's better than heechul cuz he's better looking...than he corrected that hyungsik's taller...heechul got angry and said it's because hyungsik's popular these days so everyone likes him n the hyungs are trying to provoke him. and kevin tried to calm him down. aww, heechul....do you know how many fans you have...if only you be more confident n a little optimist...it's just a matter of time....i personally find heechul better looking than hyungsik;...but that's just me. heechul, again....get your act together...you're like a timebomb now...quickly turn it off before you explode...get back to the heechul that has spirit in him. kwanghee tried to shift the topic by asking abt kevin n kevin said he already mentioned a few days ago that he likes clara.(she's not a girlgrouper...but oh you know her...her name's everywhere the past month or so...lol)...n kwanghee was surprised n said kevin like glamorous girl...and kevin said he likes all girls(uhm yeah u like girls..u can try convince lol)....before correcting that they loved the fans...uh yeah rite......lol..it's different though...no need to continue planting the seed of delusional into us, please enjoy your lives n like any girl you like...i don't want the fans to get selfish n expect ZE:A oppar to not be with any girl..when they themselves would end up with some guy other than ZE:A oppar once they got past the fangirl-stage...cmon...don't be cruel selfish hypocrite fangurls to your oppars. well, lucky me, i don't consider myself a ZE:A'S/part of fandom so i don't have to be included in the reason they have to feel obliged to not have a lovelife bcuz that's just sad n stupid n doesn't make any sense. c'mon i'm a fangurl too. one who tried to be as sensible as i could. 

- then they listen to step by step, and kwanghee said it's step by step by ZE:A n not by New Kids on the Block...lmao. xD n kevin told him off for mixing korean n english...n kwanghee apologized...lol. kevin said it's okay. 

- then they talk about nicknames or something but i'm a little lost so i'm not gonna go into it...n then they talk about english names...blair suggested heechul's english name to be brad but they kinda disagree n kevin shifted the topic to kwanghee...n they came up with a slew of names...lol. kwanghee mentioned dicaprio. kevin said kwangdicaprio...but kwanghee doesn't like it...heechul mentioned kwangprio...lol....you really need to talk more heechul-ah, you're funny too...just...lighten up n charge to the front. then kevin continued, kwangpitt lol...and then kwangcruise....n then kwanghee mentioned richard gere, and then there's kwanggere..or kwanggear...hahaha n then they came up with jungheedepp, but heechul wanted his own original english name...so kevin ask listeners to suggest english names for them all n they might use it...lol.

- then they repeated the question n kwanghee gave some demonstration for the tenor chorus...lol...xD..priceless n must listen.

- they have segment pick one:

- for kwanghee: he has to choose to either to a. be silent for a whole month n get money(and heechul asked how much lol) OR b. not taking the money and get to talk as much as he want...the money is one billion n kwanghee went..'1 billion?! omygosh!...but i'll choose b' kevin is surprised but kwanghee said ' i have money' but he can't stand not talking for one month...that's too long...he said even though he doesn't have money, he wants to talk....n then they go crazy with kevin teasing that kwanghee love monnnneyyyy...kwanghee said there's drive/energy he find in talking that makes him doesn't feel tired when he's talking. n kevin concluded that's what kwanghee is....n i actually thought kwanghee's answer actually surprised/impressed kevin....then again..maybe that's just me...

- for heechul: he has to choose whether he has to a. live without ramyeon n cola or b. live without video games. heechul again, doesn't want to choose saying it's too hard n they persuaded him to answer...and kwanghee suggested give him 1 billion...and heechul finally chose live without video games if i'm not mistaken..he said with the money he get he can buy all he want...

- last question and this is the best the gold the diamond of the show!

- they have to choose: if their CEO told them he would grant them one wish...(and the members were already LOLing)...the choice is a. to tell their CEO their wish, or b. tell him they're just happy to work for him....omygosh..who came up with this question? so silly yet so random n funneh n probly has some hidden meaning i'm sure...they all went crazy...n kevin asked them to be honest. kwanghee chose b. n saying 'i love my owner, i love star empire, i love shin juhak...juhak i love you, i miss you' o my gosh. .died.lmaoing. heechul said kwanghee's not being honest n kwanghee said 'no...i miss you shin juhak' (you seriously need to listen to all of these yourselves, seriously) heechul continued that kwanghee talks bad behind the ceo's back. kevin asked heechul what does their ceo means to him, and heechul said 'no comment'. n kevin said 'because heechul love shin juhak so much'..and heechul laughed like there's no tomorrow...i can so tell his 'feelings' for their ceo...so clearly...lol.

- last question: if the girlgroup member they like asked for phone number of another ZE:A member, what would they do a. give the other member's number or b. give their own number but lying it's the other member's number. heechul chose c. he would honestly confess that he likes the girl n that he can love the girl more than the member the girl likes...n kwanghee continued then the girl would say 'i don't like you. you're not my style. get away you monster etc.' and asked what he'd do...heechul said he say to the girl that she doesn't know him at all n if he's kwanghee he'd be crying. i don't really get this part but at least there's something heechul's passionate to talk about. girls. lol.

- kevin ask kwanghee if a girlgroup member he likes...say, Uee confessed that she liked Kwanghee and asked to date him, what would he say....kwanghee said 'marry me'. n kevin reminded him of sunhwa...and kwanghee said 'broken.' lol. so that sums up.

- good news, kwanghee n heechul would still be tomorrow, means tonight.

- conclusion: kevin made a lot of mistakes on air...i think it's cuz he's either nervous or excited or offguard...but the show had never been so crazy though kevin does have his own brand of funniness...that would've been seen better with less script. i really wish kevin n kwanghee would co-host a radio show together. kwanghee brings out the candid craziness n cutesiness in kevin that you wouldn't normally see. i mean how else would you get a sulking n throwing tantrum kevin? seriously, it's just too cute. n kwanghee's english is so priceless. i don't even want to nitpick all the broken english...cuz i always have 1000x more respect for people who talk despite not being good at it rather than people who'd rather not answer/talk at all cuz they're not perfect at it...i taught english before. n even my teachers before had same view i think. even though i myself am quiet...i admire people who dare who talk a lot in different language not worrying of being imperfect. cuz practice makes perfect. i like listening to heechul's english a lot too...so i hope he will speak more today. i believe kevin n kwanghee's craziness will help to open him up a bit more. omygosh....i seriously don't want them to ever end guesting in kevin's show...my otp is just so precious together..i just can't...>< hahah.

-end of long crappy unprofessional recap-

sorry for the personal opinions n rantings included. n sorry for typos....too lazy to correct them all.
