One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three
Ow, my ring!
[Unit name for the  team?]
-Unit name!
-Unit name
Should we make one character at a time?
Sounds good
For me
this is the new "3J", right?
Yes
So I'll take my J
"Jan"
That's hard to follow
"Jan"
"Jan"
"Kook"
"Jan Jan Kook"
Our team name is "Jan Jan Kook"
Hello, we are Jan Jan Kook!
[What are your roles in Jan Jan Kook?]
I'll be the youngest
The youngest of 3J
I'll be...
Do the oldest
Let's have you be the oldest
-I'm the oldest?
-Yeah
You're the oldest of 3J
What do I do? Anything special?
Come up with something
You can be king
King?
The king
Do I have the features of a king?
Master physiognomist?
I'll be the vocal
Good
Older brother
Yes
Not you, the other one
-You're the vocal
-Right
[Our unit's strengths?]
We've got the numbers
Yup
The other units have two, we have three
There's strength
in numbers
Quantity over quality
If we do a performance
we can make it seem fuller
This team has a strong performance game
[Have you ever experienced a Jamais Vu?]
So jamais vu is like
something that you do routinely
I'm always on stage
but I get up there and it's unfamiliar
Like that
Sometimes I'm like this
It's definitely a common word or phrase
But it feels super unfamiliar
"Is this really the right word?"
That's right, right
Right?
It's really familiar. My lyrics are familiar
but suddenly they're alien
I know
And then I get the lyrics wrong
So I took these situations
and wrote them as the lyrics for Jamais Vu
You get that once in a while
If you get it wrong
If you get it wrong during rehearsal you'll get it wrong on stage
If you get it wrong and it stays with you
For the entire performance
you can't stay in your rhythm
It was Whalien 52
-It wasn't Whalien
-No, Tomorrow
It was Tomorrow
Biggest on-stage mistake I ever made
It'd be a dance I always do
But all of a sudden
It happens
What are you trying to say?
It's natural
It's be choreo I always do, and all of a sudden
Uh, is this...
That's right
You know what that is, right?
And that's where this came from
Like It
Was it Like It, Pt. 2?
"It's time for this move, but why am I still doing this bit?"
And the glance to the side while you're doing it
He was exactly opposite me
Couldn't keep up with me
[Why did you set up this unit?]
This came out of
"Let's trying something new"
What's a combination we never tried?
This is not a unit that we do a lot normally
So that's what got us thinking
to come up with this unit
I wanted to do a song like this
Calm and quiet
Calm and tranquil?
I wanted to do a soft song
And Hobi wrote the incredible lyrics
It was a good opportunity
It was something different so I did worry
-You did great
-j-hope is front and center
It was a little tough but fun
j-hope is the core of Jan Jan Kook
Nah
[Best thing about working together?]
I think we got through it quickly
Right
I think everything just fell into place
The melody came all finished
then j-hope came in
He said our voices were fine
and Hobi got right back with the rap
The recording took no time
Jung Kook drew the big picture
and I ended up singing a line at the end
That's right
There was an amazing ad-lib towards the end
[Any episodes about working on Jamais Vu?]
Jung Kook took it out
Really?
Jung Kook actually directed this whole song
For real
Jung Kook was like, "Put that in, and that"
I did two hours of improvs
I go in the next day
"Jung Kook said no"
Took it right out
Jung Kook was basically the producer
We should release an ad-libbed version
"Jin's ad-lib firestorm version"
What kind of improvs?
There was a super high-pitched
Right, it was incredible
Two hours, and Jung Kook killed it the next day
If that project is still alive
we'll find a way to release it
Or just show it to us live
I don't think I can
You can do anything you want live
[Is there any choreography?]
No, there isn't
You betcha, we even have a dance break
The main performer for Jan Jan Kook
is going to be Jin
We're just the backing vocals
That's not good
You're unique, you're "Kook"
You're right
If you make it an old-school beat
then I'll think about it
What I had in mind
was a set
that could move
-That'd been interesting
-Right, right
"Remedy~" and then starts moving
Levitating all of a sudden
Rising like that
Rotate once
Then rise again
And then it just keeps going up
Never to come back down
It's Jack and the Beanstalk
Then there's skydiving
topped off with your ad-lib
Now that's a show
It's clean
No hand-held mics, though
[Any moving moments while recording Jamais Vu?]
Oh, me?
This song itself is really moving for me
I'm usually really affected by the song itself
The song itself was really good
Right
As soon as I heard it
-Even the guide...
-The demo version was really good
Even the guide was really good
and I thought, "This is going to be really good"
When we added in j-hope and Jung Kook's luxury-brand voices
we got an amazing song
You completed it
I'm firesale-brand
It made me look back on myself
It made me think
"What is my true remedy?"
"What was my mindset in diving into a performance?"
"How did I overcome them?"
These kinds of things
I think I really came to emphasize with the lyrics
Did you cry recording it?
I did
[Your favorite part of Jamais Vu?]
"I wish it was all a game"
"It hurt so much"
No, for me it was
"If it was just a game, I could just load again "
Right there
But you can't reload in real life
Right
That made me sad
And you play games a lot
This isn't a game
"Save me"
Why did you like that?
Because your voice is amazing
I'll pick the first verse of my rap
"I wish it was all a game"
"It hurt so much"
I think I wrote them witty and well
He is witty guy
Wit-hope
Hobi Hobi Wit-hope
"Star", but another kind of star
Medic as in Starcraft
A deft touch of wordplay
[Thumbs up]
[Can you sing a part?]
Where should we start?
♪ I wish it was all a game ♪
♪ It hurt so much ♪
♪ Making the heart beat again, that remedy ♪
Making your heart beat again
♪ What should I do now? ♪
♪ Bring me back to life ♪
♪ Give me another chance ♪
[How would you rate Jan Jan Kook's chemistry?]
100 points
100 points, for sure
I loved it
30 points for you?
"Why'd you leave out my ad-libs?"
100 if it had my ad-libs
95 'cuz it didn't
Oh. 95 points
[Messages for each other?]
It was great working with you guys
I really like even now
the way we are right now
Laughing together
work on a song together
Just chat together
It's thanks to these guys
we have a song like this
It's just a real blast
If it wasn't for this unit
we may not have had Jamais Vu
At least a different feel
I'm thrilled to have had a chance
work with these amazing fellas
I just want to hurry up and perform this song on stage
I'm really happy that I could
work with such cheerful people
We can turn this cheerful energy not just into dance
but just a bright ambiance too
This was a challenge for us, too
Something new
That's right
It made us grow
It was really fun
It was an enjoyable experience
[A message for ARMY]
Give lots of love to Jamais Vu
And to Jan Jan Kook
Fighting
It's been a year and a half since the song came out
We can always use a reminder
The song came out a while ago
but it's too bad we never got to perform it
-That's right
-I hope we can do it soon
Give your love to Jamais Vu
And Jan Jan Kook
will be back
Jan
Jan Jan
Jan Jan Kook
