WONYOUNG: Hi, Billboard. We’re with Mike today. So nice to meet you! So this is your first time in Korea? Mike Van: First time in Korea.
WONYOUNG: Oh, how was it? Mike Van: A lot of fun. Very busy. WONYOUNG: Busy days? Mike Van: The food is amazing here.
WONYOUNG: Really? What was your favorite food in Korea so far? Mike Van: Actually everything. WONYOUNG: Really? Mike Van: Yeah. Oh, I love Korean food.
Yes, I love Korean culture. I love Korean spas. Like a Jjimjilbang? Is that what it’s called? AN YUJIN: Yeah, that’s right.
I love it. Mike Van: Love it. Absolutely love it.
WONYOUNG: So good to hear. Mike Van: Yeah. So looking forward to doing more.
WONYOUNG: So we’ve got some questions for you. Mike Van: All right, let’s do it. WONYOUNG: Okay, what was the most challenging part since you arrived in Korea? Are there so many challenging parts for you? Mike Van: There is, there is.
First of all, the lack of sleep. WONYOUNG: Oh, yes, we do have that problem. Mike Van: Yeah, beat the jetlag.
But outside of that, a lot of the work that we’ve been doing before to prepare for our launch for Billboard Korea has been the hardest part. Right? But now. Now we’re here.
WONYOUNG: Congratulations. Mike Van: Thank you very much. Maybe o.
