00:00The artist's engineer mixed our song and he made it into a whole nother song.
00:07He did like a whole...
00:17We were like playing with the rhymes and there was a rhyme which was EE.
00:22They just gave an idea of like, what about green green?
00:26So let's talk about something we leaned into as green.
00:30And after discussions we came up with this idea of red.
00:34Which means like something we kind of push back against.
00:37So we like this concept between green and red.
00:41So we kind of shows this as a main idea.
00:55So we're going to move the whole about this song.
00:57We play in the middle of the song.
01:00So we're going to play in the middle of the song.
01:02Like all the beginning of the song.
01:02She's singing.
01:03It's not a kind of green green.
01:05I'm paying.

01:17I don't like one
01:18I don't like one
01:20I mentioned Hot Vanilla Latte
01:24It's like an easter egg
01:25When we wrote this song it was cold in Korea
01:28It was freezing cold
01:30Korea was cold
01:31That's why we mentioned putting our hands in our pockets
01:34We go outside, we bop our head
01:37To the beat that we've been listening to
01:43He he he he
01:44Who wrote the he he?
01:46I think he wrote it
01:47Pop all the iconic lines he took
02:12He told us
02:19They made it
02:21It's a Korean line.
02:23Have your own opinions.
02:26Yeah.
02:26Look at the eyes.
02:27Look at the eyes.
02:28Look at the eyes.
02:29Reading the room too much.
02:31Too much.
02:31You gotta read the room, but don't read it too much.
02:33Yeah, you gotta read the room, but if you read the room too much, you lose your own opinion.
02:38Am I doing it right?
02:39Yeah.
02:40And you lose confidence.
02:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:55It's a metaphor of like cooking up like food and also cooking up beats or music.
03:05Like how we turn up the speakers to the loudest volume and then the burning speakers kind of the smoke
03:14and everything kind of gets on our clothes and stuff.
03:16So we get stinky.
03:18Stinky.
03:19Stinky.
03:33Stinky.
03:34Yeah, yeah.
03:35Air phone.
03:35This is my red flag.
03:37You should come out with the team.
03:38Don't go straight.
03:39You gotta mess with the team.
03:41Yeah.
03:41You gotta mess with the team.
03:43Come mess with us.
03:44Yeah, come mess with us.
03:45Come mess with us.
03:46You know, Quartis, I think it's not only five of us.
03:49Anyone can be Quartis, you know?
03:51Yes.
03:51It can be a mindset.
03:53I can be Quartis.
03:54You could be Quartis.
03:56Everybody can be Quartis.
03:57You just need the gadgets.
03:59Yeah.
03:59Gadgets.
03:59It can be.
04:01It's got sí.
04:04It can be.
04:04I don't know.
04:05It's got some memories that writers Bl Soo- cuenta.
04:07Don't join together
04:08Just write me.
04:08My favorite part is...
04:11It can beut Last Take One.
04:12It's Hoot's Hoot's Hoot's Hoot's Hoot's Hoot's Hoot's Hoot.
04:14It's the climax.
04:16After COVID everything kind of like stopped.
04:18It's a cold world.
04:20It's a cold world.
04:20No changes.
04:21Everything had granted red.
04:24You mentioned, hmm.
04:26It's like how...
04:27The sacrifices fans got salt in the heart because...
04:28Like how people not listening to CDs, people not listening to CDs no more and we release albums and then
04:36they buy CDs but because they don't have any CD players, it's just like there.
04:41Then we're talking about the stage that we go on, we don't want any dead crowd, we want the crowd
04:48to go crazy, the crowd to go wild.
04:50Put your phone down, enjoy the time.
04:56We got to pop out and show how, that's Belba, you got to knock down, blow up of the two
05:02-번째 homeland.
05:04It's connecting to the song, fashion.
05:06In fashion, Belba, Belba, Noto Pali Belba, and referencing the mosh bits, like learn how to make a mosh bit
05:16because I feel like in a lot of Korean festivals, they don't mosh.
05:20And as a person who loves that culture, we just wanted them to like, how about you learn it?
05:27We kind of became teachers.
05:28Yeah, since we've been like, you know, seeing that out, like spitting that out from our lungs but it wasn't
05:35working out, we just told them to learn it one more time.
05:40One more time.
05:41Yeah, Sora sang it again, 다시 Belba, you got a note down.
05:45This time, note down.
05:45Yeah, note down.
05:56For me, it feels like a statement.
05:57At the current moment, what we don't want to do and what we pursue to do, so like the reds
06:04are what we will not do at this current moment.
06:07It's not optional for us.
06:09It's like, we said it and we're not doing it.
06:12And green is like, we're going to achieve that.
06:15We're going to pursue that.
06:16We made the song after our debut and then we had a lot of experience, like just going on stage.
06:23We put those experiences into the lyrics and the whole album, into the whole album.
06:30Exactly.
06:30Yeah, right.
06:32A lot of people like, know us as like, the team who kind of sacks their pants.
06:39There's no necessity in covering your butt.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Just, you know, have that confidence.
06:46Have that confidence in you.
06:47It's all about confidence.
