( INTRO PLAYING  0:00-0:15 )

“Yes, it’s this time of the week again, after a long week, let’s all take time to relax shall we? Isn’t it nice that the weather is becoming brighter? Though it’s still cold, seeing the sun peak out from the clouds a few hours a day certainly makes me feel motivated, how about you guys? This week I brought a friend with me to the show, she’s known for her powerful ballads and soothing voice, so I’m sure you will all appreciate her voice tonight as you try to sleep. Get cozy, grab your blankets and let’s take these two hours to really get calm, forget your troubles and just enjoy the music. This is Woo Minjun and you’re listening to your favorite, Pillowtalk.”

- Mino and Taehyun - Pricked

- After School - Shampoo

- Chaeyeong - It’s okay 

“Can you guys guess which friend I’ve brought with me today? Ah, let’s have her introduce herself shall we? Go ahead.”

“Hello, this is Double Kill’s rookie idol, Chaeyeong. It’s nice to be here and I hope Minjun-ssi will take good care of me.”

“First of all, thank you for coming on the show, I know that we talked about you coming on here before, but your schedules are really hectic. Do you want to tell the listeners a little about how you deal with that? I’m sure a lot of people struggle with very busy days and would love to hear some advice from you.”

“Ah, yes! For now. I’m actually on a break, preparing for my next comeback and participating in small projects but when I’m promoting, my schedules can go from seven hours to an entire day and sometimes, it could be really late at night when I’m finally able to go to sleep or I need to pull all-nighters. Luckily, I have chances to take small naps, especially when we’re moving from place A to place B. Besides napping, I drink water a lot too. It surprisingly keeps me awake and so does coffee, which is not that surprising, ‘cause if peole know me well, I like to drink coffee alot. Anyway, I think the most important thing is resting. I always try to have proper rest after I’m done promoting the entire month and I try to recharge myself.”

“Mm, resting is really important and I think a lot of people ignore this fact until it’s too late, so please take Chaeyeong’s advice and try to rest as much as possible! This song is specifically chosen by Chaeyeong, and if you’re having any struggles that are on your mind right now, please take a moment to let them go while listening to this song, I hope it will help you.”

- Simon Dominic ft. Gray - Comfortable One

“Personally, my schedules have decreased since I stopped my schedules as an idol, and I feel a lot healthier, like I’m slowly starting to get myself back on track. I think it’s really important to listen to your own body and mind and if something is too hard for you, you can try your best to push through it, but in the end you know what’s best for you and you should listen to that instinct. If you need some time off from work, school or anything to get your own mental or physical health back together, you should definitely take it, you will thank yourself later and there is really nothing to be ashamed of. I see you nodding Chaeyeong, do you have something you want to add to that?

“I’m kind of the total opposite. Even when I’m sick, I will attend to schedules and try to show the image people are used to see. But I do, though agree with you. It’s really important to listen to your body and mind, figure out when it gets too much. Especially when schedules can be hectic. I think people who work many hours or people at school can relate to this, right? I should listen to my own advice. Rest when it’s needed, eat when your stomach screams you to notice it and close your eyes when your eye lids feel heavy. Also, talk to people if you feel like talking to someone. Those simple things can make yourself good.”

“Right, I’m glad you mentioned that, sometimes things get too much to handle, and having a friend to talk to about these things is really important. Don’t underestimate the value of having a friend, guys 

I think it’s time for some music now, we’re talking a lot right? Don’t worry, just relax and listen to the few songs I picked out and we’ll be back again for our listener’s corner.”

- 못(Mot) - 당신의 절망을 바라는 나에게

- CNBLUE - When I was young

- Baek Yerin - As I am

- AKMU - Melted

- John Park - Falling

- Park Jimin - To him

- WINNER - Fool

“Hey Chae, did you fall asleep?”

“Why are you asking that when you saw me nodding my head to the music? But no, no I didn’t.”

“Good, if our listener’s fall asleep it’s okay, but you can’t fall asleep too, I need you for this episode. It’s time to read some of our listener’s submissions, if you’re new to this show, this is when you’re able to ask for advice and I will try my best to help out and pick out a suitable song for you as motivation. Chaeyeong knows this segment, she even sent in something herself on my first episode, isn’t that right?

“Ah, I wanted to keep it as a secret but, yes, yes I did to congratulate Minjun oppa of his first radio show.”

“Ah, thank you, Chaeyeong. You’re always so supportive of me, from the very start. I’ll start reading the first message, which is from someone who wants to go by the name Jun 21 years old, from Daegu. The message reads:

Hello hello, I’m a guy who’s currently studying to become a prosecutor, I did really well on my entrance exams so I’m actually studying at one of the top universities in Seoul right now. I feel satisfied because my parents are really proud of me, but I don’t feel happy. Actually I’ve always dreamed of being a singer, and I even tried out for several entertainment companies, of which I was accepted into a few and was about to start training twice. However, both times I ended up leaving due to my parents, they are really against me being a singer. I don’t know what to do, because I can study really well, but I feel like I will never be able to let go of the dream of pursuing music. I though that you may be able to help me with this since you’re also a singer and might be able to understand. All luck in the future for you and Pillowtalk.

“Ah, Chaeyeong, do you want to start with saying a few words for our Jun? I already hear that I recognise myself in a lot of what he has shared with us.”

“First of all, congratulations on doing well in your entrance exam! Ah, I really don’t know what to say ‘cause I have never been in a situation like this. I think you should do what you want to do, am I right, Minjun? I mean, your happiness is the only thing that matters and now, I don’t say you shouldn’t please your parents ‘cause they’re really important in your life and I think to some people, they are their number one supporters but later in your life, if you choose the path your parents want you to go, you might regret your choices. You might see idols on TV and start to picture yourself in their position. It might be hard to first go against your parents’ will, but later on, they will hopefully understand. Especially when they see their son being a successful idol and enjoying what he does. Always remember to make choices what make you feel happy and satisfied. Your own happiness is important besides the fact of listening to your parents as well, but to be in this industry, especially if you want to have a long career, I think you need to be strong minded, know what you want and stick to it. Aahhh, this situation seems to be really hard and I hope Minjun oppa is able to say something more comforting than I did.”

“I think a lot of people have gone through this, not only singers or idols, but anyone who has a dream that doesn’t correspond with what their parents want or think you should do. In the end, you’re the one who will live your life so even though it’s hard to go against your parents and ending up disappointing them, I think it’s worth it because you will be true to yourself and actually be happy with what you’re doing with your life. And parents will understand, maybe not at first, and maybe not in the first few years, but eventually they will since they will see that what you’re doing is making you happy, and that’s what all parents should want for their children, for them to be happy! So please don’t give up on your dreams. There’s always time to change your path in life, pursue music and if you end up not liking it after a while, at least you’ve tried and you won’t have to wonder what it would have been like. I wish you the best of luck too and I hope you will be able to succeed in whatever you finally decide in pursuing. This song is for our Jun, and I hope all of your dreams will come through.  Hang in there, it gets easier, I promise. Now, let’s play a song for our dear Jun.”

- Insooni - A goose’s dream

- Zico - She’s a baby 

- GOT7 - If you do

- Lee Moonsae - Girl

“Chaeyeong, do you want to read our next submission?”

“Oh, are you letting me read it? Yes, I would love to read it! This is from 20 year old Nana, from Seoul. Nana, what a cute name. 

Hey!

I have never done this before, but I feel like I should send something in because I need to get something off my mind, and hopefully get some advice and a song dedicated to my issue.

I recently watched the Netflix serie “13 Reasons Why”, and it shows a lot of issues and situations that people can go through that is hurtful and painful. I could relate to a lot of things that the main character went through, thus why I am here now, to speak my mind.

I used to be very popular, and had a lot of people around me who wished to talk to me. Lately that has changed, as social anxiety won me over, and now I cannot even say hi to a stranger. It is getting bothersome for my friends, that I am so distant and avoid human contact, that they daily tell me to reach out and gain more friends. I struggle, because of past experiences like mentioned before.

So, with this in mind, I want to ask for an advice from you.

I no longer talk to a lot of people, the number of friends I have, can be counted on one hand. Before this happened, I pushed away a lot of people and told them to leave me alone. I should have pushed away a lot of others, and some I shouldn’t have pushed away at all. Now I struggle to reach out for people again, and the people I pushed away, get emotional and depressed at the sight of me.

I feel like I bother everyone, and that no one really want me around. Those friends I have, already are friends with those I pushed away, and I hear from them how they upset they get when they see my name or hear I am still around. Should I take these people into consideration, or should I reach out for others and gain new friends?

I feel like I am the blame, for bringing these people down, especially those who dislike me or hate me, and I do not want to bring anyone pain.

I know my submittion to you is kind of very long and messy, not really easy to grasp a hold of, but I hope you understand how my mind work, and why this is so difficult for me to express. I am trying my best, and I hope you understand, I really do.

I hope to hear from you, and I hope I get chosen. I love your show, and I wish you good luck with it in the future!

Love, Nana”

“It seems like everyone has been watching this show lately, I too started watching it recently and I think it brought up a lot of important issues surrounding friendship. 

First of all, thank you Nana for reaching out to us and being brave to express your feelings in my radio show. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to these feelings of isolation and somewhat being stuck in an evil spiral that seems to be taking you further down. I think it’s important to remember that every small action has an effect, even though we may not know it ourselves at that point, but just in that manner, even a small positive action can change someone’s life tremendously. Some of the choices you’ve made must’ve been due to your anxiety I presume, and I know it must be really hard, and some people might not have been able to understand either. 

Try not to dwell on things that have happened and people who have gotten hurt because of it, at the end of the day, you need to take care of your health first and while you may have not made all the right choices then by pushing some people away, there’s always room for a change. Don’t blame yourself too much either, a lot of the times, our judgement is shaped by past experiences and as you say you recognised yourself in the main character of the show, I’m sure you’ve been through a lot which would lead you to close yourself off from people and get scared. I think, the fact that you’re even writing this in, shows that this is a concern, not only to the friends around you who have noticed your restricted behavior, but also in you. People can’t really force on a change, you have to want it enough yourself in order for things to actually take action. I think a good idea would be to try to slowly approach people, not a lot of people at once, but start with just one. Maybe have your close friends introduce you to one of their friends that they think you would like, because that way you at least know the person indirectly and it might not be as scary. 

As for the people you mentioned whom you aren’t sure of whether you should reach out to again or not, there’s a few things you could think about first to make it easier. What was the reason you left them behind in the first place? Do you miss these people in your life? I don’t think it’s ever too late to try again, if you’ve been good friends with someone before and only left them behind due to your own problems, with a little bit of explanation, I’m sure they would understand and take you back as a friend too. Chaeyeong, what do you say?”

“Hmmm… I don’t think that many people know of this, but I struggle a lot of talking with people about feelings and about life in general. Feeling like no one wants you is probably one of those feelings which everyone goes through, but it could be an assumption as well. And most of the time, I think people are assuming their friends don’t want them anymore so I suggest you to talk with people; your old and new friends. That way, you will get an answer to your feelings. That might sound cliché, but I have noticed, talking and solving things out helps. It might seem to be scary, especially to someone who doesn’t like confronting people or the topic makes you uncomfortable, but when it’s done, you will notice nothing harmful happened to you. As of getting new friends, I agree with Minjun. Gaining new friends is hard, especially if you’re comfortable with people who are already surrounding you but getting out more, meeting new people one by one doesn’t sound that scary, doesn’t it? And you can always drag your old friend along with you, or ask them to introduce you to someone. I also heard through online, it’s easier to gain friends, isn’t it? I hope everything will go well with you, Nana. And, fighting!”

“It is 11:00 pm and we present to you, Woo Minjun’s Pillowtalk”

( INTRO PLAYING  0:00-0:15 )

“Everyone, you’re tired after a long day, right? Especially in this cold weather, it’s easy to get exhausted. I hope you are getting comfortable, and I will do my best to help you calm down. This is Woo Minjun and for the next two hours, you will be listening to Pillowtalk.”

- CHANYEOL, PUNCH - Stay With Me

- Calum Scott - Rhythm Inside

- WINNER - 센치해 (SENTIMENTAL)

“Ah.. I really love this song. Every time I hear it I feel so.. Sentimental. Do you guys get more emotional at night? I think I do. In the mornings, I don’t have a lot of strong feelings, but as the day progresses, more things happen and my feelings sort of grow stronger too, and finally at night, they are very heavy. But there is a comfort in knowing that everything is temporary, please remind yourselves of this too. This next song, has been very important to me, as I could relate to the lyrics really well. In fact all of the songs I’m playing today have great meaning, so I hope you will enjoy them like I do. But there are times when we feel like the only way to survive, is to fake a smile and pretend to be happy. We might think that it will help people around us, that they will stop worrying about us and that we are protecting ourselves while doing so. But you should know that there is always someone who is willing to listen and you should take whichever hand that is reaching out for you and receive the help you need, because there is nothing worse than to lie to yourself about your own feelings. There is no need to pretend, when you can instead be honest and try your best to heal.”

“I hope you are starting to feel more relaxed, I tried my best to pick songs that will be soft for your lovely ears since you deserve to take a rest and calm down after a long day. Hmm. It feels a bit strange to be talking to myself this much, so I think it’s time to take a look at some of the messages that have been sent in from you guys. Let’s see. The first message is from seventeen year old Lina, from Busan. I will read the message.

‘Lately I have been feeling numb. I can’t eat or sleep or even talk to anyone because it’s so hard. Someone close to me has just passed away and I really don’t know what to do.. I just want to disappear. If I close my eyes hard enough, will it happen? I will listen to your radio show and hope it will help, I always loved your voice, Minjun oppa. Please play a song for me, and good luck on Pillow talk!’

I– first of all, this is something really huge you are going through, and I feel very sorry that you have experienced a loss. I think everyone who has been in that situation can agree that there is no way to describe how terrible it feels to lose someone dear to you. I am proud of you for sending this in, Lina, and I want you to know that you are not alone even though everything might seem dark right now. Try to put goals for every hour in order to find your purpose again. You don’t have to do something huge, because just waking up when you are feeling this way is hard enough. Try to make yourself eat a little bit and if you need to cry, cry. If you need to stay away from school for a while, you should do so. But also, try to not isolate yourself, try to talk to people and don’t go through this pain alone, you do not have to take this all alone.

This next song, is for you and I hope you have someone who can be your light, I am here for you, too.”

“The next message is sent in from Seoul, by Miss S so I will go on to read it now.

‘I heard a lot of Minjun, even back then from crisis, and I wish him all the best on his pillowtalk project. A hardworking guy like him deserves all the best. I’m sure you’ll do well and people will tune in to your lovely voice!! As for wanting advice– what do I do with dry skin in the winter? I keep trying out different products but all fail and I have yet to find a fitting one. Please play my current favorite song ‘shape of you by ed sheeran’ because it reminds me of you.’

Ah, thank you so much. I think our production crew picked this message out especially for me haha. I feel truly flattered by your words. I’m not sure if I am the best person to ask about this kind of advice, but I will do my best to give you my own tips and tricks that I use in the winter. Since the cold tends to dehydrate our skin it’s very important to drink enough fluids, water, especially, but something else that I’ve found out works well is to switch over from facial creams to oils. There are several brands who sell oils for your face and it works really well since it is absorbed almost instantly when your skin is dry. Now let’s hear the song and I hope your skin gets well soon, Miss S!”

- Heo June - First Love ft. Kira

- CRISIS (Minjun solo)  - Like a fire

- TRACE - Low

- 크러쉬 (Crush) - Beautiful

- Urban Zakaba - I dont love you

- CREEP (Koemi & Yori) - A sky full of stars

- Jhené Aiko - Bed peace

“It’s getting quite late now, I hope some of you have already fallen asleep too so you can get a good night’s rest. This next song is one that I myself listened to a lot when I was going through hard times. You know, sometimes you need to hear some songs that make you cry it all out and then afterwards you can feel refreshed again and start over, this is such a song for me. If you need to cry, don’t hold it in, I promise you, you will feel lighter afterwards.”

- Lasse Lindh - Hush

- DEAN - What 2 Do ft. Crush, Jeff Bernat

“Let’s look at one last message before I play the final few songs for you. Ah, I can already see who this is from. Chaermander from Seoul wants me to read this message in a cute voice, but I feel very reluctant to doing so, I feel like you will all take out your earphones if I do. But the message says,

‘congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!!! i honestly don’t know what else to say except i’m proud of you and i hope your radio show will be successful! minjun oppa, fighting!’

Thank you for your kind words, Chaermander, and I hope you will be successful with your own work too, I know how hard you have been working for this. I’m going to play this song to remind you that you are amazing and that you deserve to be praised for you work.”

- Chaeyeong - Gemini

- DEAN x GAEKO - D (Half Moon)

- CRISIS - 그런놈 (A guy like that)

“Can you guys believe it has already come to the final song for this first show? I have been enjoying myself a lot, and I really hope you have liked the songs I’ve picked for your ears. I promise to bring an even better self to my next broadcast of Pillowtalk. Sleep well, everyone and remember to not worry so much, what has happened, has happened and there is a reason for it.”

- Lee Juck - Don’t worry

After a nearly two month long hiatus, Woo Minjun is finally back on the map, as his entertainment label announced the start of Minjun’s very own radio show “Pillowtalk”. The show, set to air on February first has been described as a calming show where Minjun will get real close to his listener by reading messages sent in to him. When asked to comment about the idea behind the show, the former idol was proud to say that he had presented his idea when it was nearly done, so there was not much that the production team needed to work on themselves.  With Chris’s soothing voice, I’m sure fans are dying to hear him again after so long. Don’t forget to tune in on February 1st to listen to the very first episode of “Woo Minjun’s Pillowtalk”. You can already send in messages in hope of having them read by your favorite Minjun.
