AN YUJIN:

So let me introduce us. One, two, three.

IVE: 

Hi, we’re IVE. 

WONYOUNG:

Hi, Billboard. We’re with Mike today. So nice to meet you! So this is your first time in Korea?

Mike Van:

First time in Korea. 

WONYOUNG:

Oh, how was it? 

Mike Van:

A lot of fun. Very busy. 

WONYOUNG:

Busy days?

Mike Van:

The food is amazing here.

WONYOUNG:

Really? What was your favorite food in Korea so far?

Mike Van:

Actually everything. 

WONYOUNG:

Really? 

Mike Van: 

Yeah. Oh, I love Korean food. Yes, I love Korean culture. I love Korean spas. Like a Jjimjilbang? Is that what it’s called?

AN YUJIN:

Yeah, that’s right. I love it. 

Mike Van:

Love it. Absolutely love it. 

WONYOUNG: 

So good to hear. 

Mike Van:

Yeah. So looking forward to doing more.

WONYOUNG:

So we’ve got some questions for you.

Mike Van:

All right, let’s do it.

WONYOUNG:

Okay, what was the most challenging part since you arrived in Korea? Are there so many challenging parts for you?

Mike Van:

There is, there is. First of all, the lack of sleep.

WONYOUNG:

Oh, yes, we do have that problem.

Mike Van:

Yeah, beat the jetlag. But outside of that, a lot of the work that we’ve been doing before to prepare for our launch for Billboard Korea has been the hardest part. Right? But now. Now we’re here. 

WONYOUNG:

Congratulations. 

Mike Van:

Thank you very much. Maybe one day you’ll be on the cover?

Keep watching the video for more!
