- [Eric] Maybe not humble, but when you say stuff like that…
- [Jamie] But they can’t be like, “Why the **** do you like my music?”
They can’t be like— Someone likes you.
You cannot be rude to them.
- [Eric] It might be this thing.
- [Eric] Me, personally, I have a hard time reaching out to people.
And like being like…
- [Jamie] But you know everyone, Eric.
- [Eric] Yeah but…
- [Jamie] You don’t have anyone to reach out…
Except the president of Korea.
- [Eric] No but like…
I know a lot of people, but I will rarely just be like,
“Do you want to just hang out?” Or “Do you want to grab a drink?”
Or “Do you want to grab a meal?”
And that’s where it’s like…
For me, when you’re saying like…
It feels passive… That’s how I feel about it.
I think for me… I don’t think of myself as like…
- [Jamie] I think everyone thinks that when you ask them, “Let’s go out for a meal.”
Everyone thinks that, “Is he gonna interview me?”
- [Eric] ‘Cause I just interview so many people?
- [Jamie] Like when we eat this meal, is he going to be asking about my life?
But not me. If I want to know someone, I just DM (Direct Message) them.
Or go up to them, be like… “I like your music.”
And they’re like, “Oh thank you.”
I’m like, “I really like your music. Like realllyyy.”
Do you think it’s a thing of where like… They’re like, “Oh thank you.”
Everybody has to be like super humble and like polite?
- [Jamie] Is everyone super humble? - [Eric] I feel like they are.
- [Eric] Maybe not humble, but when you say stuff like that…
- [Jamie] But they can’t be like, “Why the **** do you like my music?”
They can’t be like… Someone likes you.
You cannot be rude to them.
- [Eric] It might be this thing.
So like, if I say that, they’d be like…
“Oh thank you.”
Whereas opposed to, in my head, I’d just be like, “Oh. Dope. Thank you.”
Like it’s just such a different nuance…
- [Jamie] Oh yeah. I get you. - [Eric] That’s what I’m talking about.
- [Eric] It’s the nuance. Where I’m like…
When they come off that way…
I’m like, “Okay, they either hate me or they’re very uncomfortable about me like trying to like…”
- [Jamie] Approach. - [Eric] Approach.
- [Eric] Just like… Have a conversation.
So I’m like, “I don’t even want to deal with it.”
- [Jamie] On the contrary, our response… right?
Like if they come to you and say, “Oh Eric Nam. I’m such a fan.”
And you’re like, “Oh thank you.”
They’re like, “There’s a personality problem.”
Like… “He’s in a bad mood. He has a problem in his personality.”
Anyways…
- [Eric] I don’t know… it’s confusing.
- [Jamie] It’s something different in Korean and English.
- [Eric] It’s very confusing to me. I don’t know. I don’t know.
- [Jamie] Sarcasm and everything. The jokes. Totally different.
- [Eric] It’s hard. It’s hard.
