K: idols arrive, "duang" to no end, EastDay's friends, WayV (T/N: the show's slogan; EastDay = the company)
WayV: hello everyone, we are WayV! <>

WayV's music is more mature and multifaceted <>
K: to add on, our 'Kick Back' album has a total of SIX songs of different styles
hope everyone will tune in~
"what is the title track like this time? how is it different from before?"
K: the title track ‘秘境 [Secret Place]', Kick Back, is very, very strong, addictive dance music <>
everyone can tell from the chorus, the "kick kick kick back" part
and our choreography is very simple!
everyone can dance along with us, and the lyrics
are about meeting at our, WayV's, secret facility <>
and freely enjoying the process of painting the future together
and everyone can feel our, WayV's, vigourous energy
"fans' reactions were very strong after the newest album concept images were released, out of the several different styles, which one do you guys each like the most? why?"
XJ: I think my favourite is the one when we were dancing in the secret place
H: it was like raving XJ: yes yes, raving, that part <> (T/N: raving as in being wildly festive)
that part, whether it's the colour of the clothing or our hair, it was all very vibrant
L: it paired well with the background K: paired well, yeah
"where does WayV get their inspiration for their albums? were any of the members' ideas incorporated?"
XJ: every time we film by ourselves, we, of course, film according to our own ideas
the director only gives us a general concept and we would act accordingly
H: where do you get your inspiration? <>
XJ: inspiration? inspiration comes from... our concept!
WayV: *oHhhHhh* XJ: and also the inspiration from when the seven of us have fun
K: so this time, during the photoshoots, what were your inspirations?
YY: *sudden cackle* K: what inspiration did you utilize? XJ: I utilized... the seven of us in the dorm
K: were we in the dorm?
XJ: when we have fun L: we utilized, like, we had a setting under the cloth <>
K: ohh under the cloth! L: it illustrated that kinda feeling
H: it's not released yet eh? this serves as a tiny preview
K: everyone will know once you see the MV
"if you connect all your albums into a story, what would the story be like?"
YY: at first, we're on stage, and then we take off, take off into space <>
after we build our own world in outer space, we're captured to be locked up
and after we're locked up, we're like "we're locked up anyway, we should just have fun"
T: in there, we're "kick[ing] back" K: raving <>
XJ: we escaped! T & L: yeah we escaped
YY: we escaped, and then went to a place...
WayV: yeah, it's like that
"during the filming of the MV, were there any interesting bloopers that you want to share with fans?"
T: can it be- it wasn't when we filmed the MV, it was during the photoshoots
XJ & K: yeah
T: when we were taking the photos-
L: oh! we went to the... uh- K: outskirts
L: like, abandoned water park
WayV: ohh wAtEr pArk~ L: and we took a lot of good photos there <>

K: that's right, first place L: because this song is uh <>
L: it has a very... different vibe
XJ: very fitting for today's younger generation, and the storyline of that song is also incredible

K: everyone will know when it's time WayV: mMmmMm <>
K: what else? there's also 'Good Time' L: I like 'Good Time' too

like, "ey? it turns out that the fans have the same thoughts as us"
K: that's right L: they would, at like, important points
L: they would scream, or have a surprised expression K: reaction <>
