[Laughs] That was awesome

[Music from Be My Baby]
-Claps-
So we have some questions for you girls.
The questions we're going to ask you first are actually from fans.
So when we found out that we had a chance to meet you, all your fans just exploded all over the world [Wow]
everywhere.
So the first question we have is from fuuko4869 (Lalita, Australia)
These are youtube usernames [Oh, ok]
and she wants to know what is your favourite activity during a long trip?
Usually watching movies, or reading books, getting some snacks.
Eating snacks while watching movies and reading books [perfect combination].
Did you guys read Harry Potter? [Yeah]
How about The Hunger Games?
Oh I saw the movie but I didn't get to read the book
The books are really good, we saw the movie also, but yeah. How about any Twilight fans?
Definitely Twilight!
Simon hates it.
Ok, team Robert?
I'm team Jacob. Ok, for the movie, I'm team Edward, but for the book I'm team Jacob. So I'm kind of a torn person.
Simon's team no one.
I'm team nobody. Why don't you dump them all and just find a new boyfriend?
This is from Rebecca Web from Alabama, USA. Is your relationship more like friends, sisters, or coworkers?
I think it's a mix. [It's a mix?]
Sometimes we're like sisters, sometimes we're like friends, and sometimes when we're working we're like coworkers.
Mmm gotcha. It's gotta be, right?
We know, we have, it's difficult for us because we're married, but we also work together on the same business
so how do you separate husband and wife and coworkers? [Cannot separate it]
So how do you be like sisters, and coworkers at the same time?
But we totally understand because if we criticize each other for a video, like I don't like the editing,
it's not personal .
It's not because you're my husband, it's because you're my coworker. So, we have to do that kind of thing.
It's the same, you know, like when it comes to work, you know we all have our opinions.
So, you know we're all very opinionated, and we all have passion about our work.
So you know, like we always try to be open to each other.
And except that, we're like sisters, and we make funny jokes together.
It's all based on a real relationship, like love, and everything.
You can tell, because people can actually see that you guys get along well. [Yeah]
It's important, really important.
From Stephanie Yang, from California, and she wants to know what was the hardest time during training, and did you ever want to give up?
Definitely, I have. [You have?] Yeah, but this job is,
I've always just wanted to do and achieve, so there's no more struggle for me. [Mhm]
So I just have to get myself back in the right place. [Focusing, right?]
Yeah, focusing. [Awesome]
So have you guys gotten used to the hours? Practicing, or on the bus touring, or radio and going to TV, and then back and forth.
Have you gotten used to it?
We always think that we're very blessed, we're doing what we love, and what we've always dreamed of.
You know, like even though we work really hard. Sometimes we can't sleep, and we have to put a lot of energy in it,
but, we still feel grateful.
I think all jobs have their own difficulties. So, it's the same.
A lot of people left messages saying that they're training to be dancers, or singers, so they wanted some encouragement from you guys.
I snuck in an extra question. [Laughs]
This is from Urvan, from the Philippines. How do you feel, how can the music spread all over the world, even though
it's in Korean.
Yeah, I think music has that power. And, It's really surprising for us too. You know? [Mhm]
We thought the same way; it's Korean, and the word is different, the language and the culture is different.
How can people, you know, like love our songs that much? And then we started thinking...
Well maybe because it was our true feelings in the music. And then somehow, it was [transmitted almost]. Yeah
And, um, for the language part, you know we try hard to speak their own language whenever we travel around.
For example, when we go to like, Thailand, or Indonesia, we always try to learn their--
their phrases [uh huh] Their greetings
Yeah, greetings, and how to say "thank you", and a lot of stuff.
How many do you think you've memorized so far? How many languages from different countries. [Oh yeah]
For just saying, like, thank you.
Basically, we can do--we counted once. [Oh yeah? Ok] Uh huh, ok.
Thank you
Basically you know like thank you--let's count it! [Laughs] Ok!
There's Korean, kamsahamnida. [Ok, that the easy one]
There's English (Thank you). [mhm]
And there's Chinese (Xièxiè). I got 4
Arigatou gozaimasu [Oh, ok]
Oh! Uh, Cantonese. Do tze [Alright, cool]
Merci [Mhm]
Kabkoon ka [Thailand] Oh really?
I saw the hands come up and I was like "Oh, Thailand!"
And, uh, Namaste. Ah! [Namaste]
Uh...gracias. Yeah [gracias, mhm].
We're at 9 so far. [Laughs]
There's more! [let's go for 10!]
I remember selamat pagi is Indonesian. [Oh]
It is a (way to) say hi in the night time.
Ok, I have to teach you, um, Polish. [Ohhh] It's my first language. [Ohhh wow ok]
To say thank you, it's Dziękuję
Dzię-kuj-e
There you go! You just made a lot of Polish fans--Polish fans are like "Aaahhh!"
Dziękuję!
Ok, I think we got one more fan question here.
One more question, the last one is from Alaina from the United Kingdom,
and she wants to know apart from kpop, what's your favourite genre of music?
So any hip-hop we have?
We, we like a lot of different kinds of genres.
Like--You can name more than one--dubstep? Or heavy metal? Or...
Hip-hop, uh, electronic [ok], country [Country also?]
Country is the only genre I don't like.
You know, everyone gets surprised [Yeah, I'm surprised right now]
Every time I say country, people go like "Oh, what? Country? Really?" [Yeah, yeah]
