[Trans] 200119 Nichkhun’s Interview on CH7HD ‘สดๆ บทไม่มี ตีสนิท’

[Thai-English Trans by Daffodil0624]

Nichkhun said he wrote the song called Umbrella for his fans. He would like to tell them he will protect them from the rain and misery. Umbrella has 5 versions (Thai, English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese). Nichkhun chose to perform Umbrella (Thai ver.) at The Blue Carpet Show for UNICEF because UNICEF is like an umbrella for children all over the world, protecting them from danger and serious diseases.

About his childhood memories,

Nichkhun said when he was young, he was very clumsy. He broke dishes or glasses at stores so often that his parents didn’t allow him to go inside. They usually told him to wait outside the stores.

TV host jokingly said: Nichkhun’s parents had to pay over 3 million baht for damage.

Nichkhun: Yes, that’s the total damage. (laugh)

TV host: Do you remember what you did during Children’s Day?

Nichkhun: No. I think I participated in a talent show at PATA Pinklao. My brother and I performed Bird Thongchai’s Mok Rue Khwan. I can’t remember much but my dad said while my brother danced, I just stood still on stage and looked at people. I think I was 5 years old. (laugh)

Nichkhun: What I remember about Children’s Day is the fact that I really looked forward to receiving all the gifts.

TV host: What is the best thing that happened to you in 2019?

Nichkhun: My solo concerts in Japan.    

TV host: Which happened after The Blue Carpet for UNICEF last year.

Nichkhun: No... after the talent show at PATA. I rehearsed everything at PATA in order to perform at my concerts in Japan.

TV host: So you rehearsed for over 20 years.

Nichkhun: Yes. (laugh)

TV host: Our viewers must be so confused now. What impresses you the most about your concerts in Japan?

Nichkhun: It is another step for me as an artist. I sang, danced, and played musical instruments all by myself. It makes me realise I can do it. From being a 2PM member who doesn’t have many singing parts, now I can perform on stage for two and a half hours by myself. It is difficult because I have to entertain the audience all the time, when I am singing, performing, or talking during breaks. It’s fun.    

TV host: You have come back to Thailand often recently.

Nichkhun: Yes because I will have more works in Thailand this year.

TV host: How do you spend time with your family when you come back to Thailand?

Nichkhun: Having a meal with my family. I will go home tonight. Our new house is just finished. We will have a house blessing ceremony tomorrow. It’s perfect timing.

TV host: We will give Nichkhun this spotlight as a housewarming present.

Nichkhun: I will really take it home. (laugh)

TV host whispered: I won’t pay for it though. That spotlight costs several ten thousand baht. (laugh) Congratulations on your new house.

Nichkhun: Thank you.

TV host: I want to say Nichkhun’s mother is dearly loved by reporters. She’s lovely, friendly, talkative, and spreads joy and happiness.

Nichkhun: She enjoys meeting people. 

TV host: What is your goal for 2020?

Nichkhun: Goal? I don’t have one.

TV host: Your goal is no goal?

Nichkhun: No. I will just keep working. I will be open to any opportunities. I aim to be healthy. I will take good care of my health. I had set goals every year but I couldn’t achieve them. Instead, I often accomplished other things that I didn’t expect. Thus, I won’t set a goal for this year. Whatever comes my way, I will be open to them. I will be open-minded so that I will be open to everything.

TV host: Do you have anything to tell our viewers?

Nichkhun: First of all, Happy New Year. I wish everyone good health and happiness. I would like to emphasize the importance of health. No matter how much money we have, if we are not healthy, it’s useless. I hope everyone will be successful in everything you do too.  

TV host: What would you like to tell everyone who has made a donation for children around the world?

Nichkhun: Thank you so much. I have participated in several field visits with UNICEF. I have seen various social problems that a lot of people are not aware of. In the middle of Bangkok, just around the corners, there are so many slums that will make you feel like they are different worlds. Many children don’t have formal education, anything to eat, and access to clean drinking water. It is heartbreaking. I would like to thank everyone who has helped give these children opportunities. As I have said several times, children are the future of our nation. If they grow up to be a person with goodness and ability, they will help our country grow and move forward.

TV host: Please give your fans updates about your upcoming works.

Nichkhun: This year, I have a series called My Bubble Tea and a movie called Cracked. I will come back to Thailand frequently this year. Please stay tuned.

[ENG TRANS] 200111 Nichkhun’s Media Interview at The Blue Carpet Show for UNICEF 

(cr: MCINE MUSIC LIVE OFFICIAL)

Nichkhun: First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year. I wish you all good health, happiness, and success in everything you do.

Reporter: Please tell us how you feel about today’s event and your work with UNICEF.

Nichkhun: It’s the kind of work that makes me feel great because I can help our society. It’s something that we should pay attention to. In so many cases, children don’t have anything to eat. They lack access to clean drinking water. Access to education simply does not exist in their world. That’s why I would like to encourage people to pay more attention to these issues.

Nichkhun: I think The Blue Carpet Show last year raised around 14 million baht. This year’s event has received more attention from the public. When I heard that today’s event has raised over 32 million baht, I got tears in my eyes. Everyone has come together to make this show happen. I am touched that it has received so much love and support from people. I am proud that I have been a part of this show and UNICEF Thailand.

Reporter: You have mentioned field trips.

Nichkhun: I just talked to them whether we should make a field trip to Africa. I guess I have to get several vaccination injections before the trip. I went to Africa once with another program/organization. The living conditions are rough. But, in fact, the children don’t realize that they lack opportunities. They think living another day is good enough. As you can see in the videos today, these children live with constant pain. How are they going to be truly happy? With our help, we can give them life and opportunities and make being alive more meaningful for them.  

Reporter: Are you going on a field trip this year?

Nichkhun: I participated in UNICEF’s field visits every year. But, at the moment, I am not sure how far my work schedule will allow me to go. Most of the time, I joined the field visits in Bangkok. The farthest UNICEF trip I took was in Chiang Mai. I went there in the morning and came back in the evening. So I think we will have to talk and plan in advance about where I can go.

Nichkhun: I would like to tell everyone that you can make a donation for UNICEF not only today. You can make a monthly donation. Or you can donate any amount you want; 50, 100, 200, 300 baht. It’s all up to you as long as you want to help children. Children are the future of our nation. If they grow up educated and healthy, they will help improve our country. So I would like to encourage everyone to help these children.

Reporter: Can you give us an update on your work this year?

Nichkhun: The series ‘My Bubble Tea’ should be aired at the beginning of this year. The horror movie ‘Cracked’ should be released around midyear. I am not sure yet. And The Brothers project should be fun.  

Nichkhun: I think I will come back to Thailand often this year. It seems like there will be several projects. I am glad I will have a chance to work in Thailand frequently.

About ‘Story of…’

Nichkhun: I think my fans like this album and the concerts went well. I have put a lot of effort into making this album and concerts. I am relieved everything went smoothly.

About fans’ request for ‘Story of…’ concert in Thailand

Nichkhun: I really would like to hold a concert here. I know Thai fans want to see it happen.

Nichkhun: For all the fans who are waiting for 2PM, my friends are strong and healthy. Don’t worry about them. Thank you, everyone, for waiting until now. Please wait a little bit longer. 2PM will definitely make a comeback.

Nichkhun: For my fans who are waiting for me, this year you will be absolutely satisfied. Please stay tuned.

Reporter: So you will be very busy this year.

Nichkhun: Definitely.
