This is the usual 'Spoiler VLive' one day before the concert, but because those concerts are an 'encore', there isn't much to spoil this time. The core of the concert is the same, but they prepared two different covers to perform for each day of the concert (one for Saturday, one for Sunday)
They all changed their hair, but Kanghyun is the only one with a clear visible change - his hair is purple.
Dongmyeong has his nails painted, he did it himself at the dorms. He used both black and white because he wouldn't have time to change it for each day of the concert. Cya woke up to go wash up at around 7 or 8 in the morning and Dongmyeong was on his bed and showed him his nails like 'Ta-dah~'. Dongmyeong also showed them to Kanghyun the minute he saw him, 'Ta-dah~'.
Dongmyeong plays the guitar a bit in the beginning.
Kanghyun and Cya are changing the cords from their guitar/bass. Dongmyeong said he saw them do it from time to time but never the whole process.
As usual, each ticket-holder will receive a postcard and a guitar pick on the day of the concert. The postcard and the pick are different for each day of the concert (white for Saturday, black for Sunday)
Kanghyun said that the picks they usually give as gifts are a bit weak, if you were to use them to play for real the paint would wear off and you can't really read what was on it or use it anymore. But they improved this time, and the ones that are gifted tomorrow are as good as real picks.
Kanghyun thought about throwing his pick out to WEVEs when they perform. It would be okay if the audience were a bit farther away, if the stage was a bit higher or if the venue was bigger, but they’re performing in Rolling Hall where the audience is right in front of them, so it would be too dangerous, and someone could get hurt;;
💛: I think it's so cool when guitarists throw their picks to the audience though.. [As a pianist/vocalist] there's nothing I can really throw like that.. 💜: You? You give out love (💛: stuttering)
Dongmyeong said that Kanghyun will randomly check if he took his guitar with him during schedules and open his case to check. This is because it happened to Yonghoon, where he opened the hard case and the guitar wasn't there, he only took the bag. It also happened to Kanghyun when they were at Inkigayo once, they had to do their rehearsal in the morning but he didn't take his guitar with him. Usually, when ONEWE have packed schedules, they leave their instruments in the car after music shows, because they're going to need them the next day. But once, Kanghyun said he wanted to practice something and took it out, forgot to put it back, and in the morning it was obvious for him that the guitar was in the car because it’s usually always there. They went to get their hair done, and he only realized it once they were at the broadcasting building. Kanghyun said he had a lot of thoughts that time, there was another band backstage so, even if he knew it didn’t make sense, he thought he would have to ask them to borrow their guitar, even just for the rehearsals. Luckily, another manager was at the company and brought it back to him right in time.
They talked about one of the first times they performed in Japan, in a concert with ONEUS, and the cords from Kanghyun's guitar broke. They barely knew how to speak Japanese, and the staff there was almost fully Japanese so it was a bit stressful. Luckily, because there were parts where ONEUS was the only one performing they had a bit of time and were able to repair it.
Kanghyun said that Dongmyeong's piano’s battery was the most expensive [compared to their guitars' strings] but Dongmyeong said it was okay because the company was the one buying it lol
The piano Dongmyeong uses during concerts is from the brand YAMAHA and the one he uses at the company is from the brand KRONOS.
Cya said that his bass was from the brand Fender and that it's an old model so the strings are hard to attach. It's a classic one, an 'old Fender', from the 50s-60s. Kanghyun's yellow guitar is also a vintage one from Fender.
Dongmyeong has a violin at [his parents’] home, a small one he used when he was young. He learned for a short time at a Community Center, it was fun but his fingers hurt too much;;
Dongmyeong doesn't really shop online, he wants to but doesn't really know how to. Some times ago, he wanted to buy underwears, and he's not ashamed of it but he gets a bit embarrassed if he has to ask his parents to buy it from him now that he's an adult, he thinks it's something he has to take care of by himself now (and he was surprised that Kanghyun and Yonghoon just ask their mom/parents to buy some from them (Cya seems surprised too) So, he went by himself to buy some from somewhere not too far from the company, and he was really embarrassed (Kanghyun said he would probably feel embarrassed too if he had to go buy some alone, that's why he asks his mom to buy it from him) So, that's why he decided to buy some online. He was sure he ordered a certain amount, like 3, but he actually bought sets of underwear so he ended paying much more than what he needed lol
Kanghyun asked Dongmyeong if he could like, shower, and then go out of the bathroom naked when his parents are home. 💛: I could never do that?! 💙: I don't think I could either…
Kanghyun said that he does put on a towel before leaving the bathroom, but if there's only his grandma then it doesn't bother him. Dongmyeong said that now that he was a grown-up, he would be embarrassed even with his grandma. Kanghyun said that he really doesn't feel embarrassed with his grandma, maybe because she saw him [naked] since he was a baby.
💙: That's because we're grown up [that we feel embarrassed] 💛: I can’t even imagine it;;
Kanghyun said that every time his grandmother sees him [when he's wearing clothes], she asks why he's so thin, so he just takes off his shirt and show off his muscles [💛: Grandmas always find us too thin lol]
Dongmyeong said that before the members all lived together, they did go to baths/saunas together, but he was really embarrassed to take shower together at first. But now they're used to seeing each other naked because they're just comfortable with each other.
Dongmyeong said he heard that some older people have a hard time adapting to technologies that became mandatory to prevent COVID19 (like ordering food or drink through an application or other devices) so it was important to share knowledge with them and try our best to help them.
Dongmyeong said his throat wasn't in the best condition these days but he's taking care of it.
Dongmyeong said that maybe it's because he saw Cya using it for a long time now, but he feels a lot of affection for the 4-strings bass. Kanghyun asked for its name, Cya said he did give it one but forgot because he doesn't use it (WEVEs forgot too lol)
Its original name was ‘Ggyuk’ but Cya decided to change it to Giwookie. Dongmyeong said he would give it a nickname too, ‘담담이 (damdamie)’ because it gives off a calm/composed/serene feeling [from the verb '담담하다 (damdamhada)'] Kanghyun said it sounded like the name you would give to the boyfriend of Dodo [Dongmyeong's black keytar].
💛: Dodo isn't a woman.!! Ah, is Dodo a woman..? Dodo doesn't have a gender. 💜: Dodo is a woman? 💛: My Dodo? 💜: Yeah. 💛: No. 💜: Ah, every instrument gives off a different vibe though. Dodo is a woman. 💛: Hum... Let's say it doesn't have a gender.!
Cya said that his bass got redesigned(?) in 2004 and the color was changed to the one it is now at that time
Cya decided on 'AkaGiwook' for the name of his bass. Aka from the Japanese word 'baby', because he bought it when he was a baby(young kid), but also from the Korean words '아빠카드 ((appa-Kadeu/Dad-Card)', because he bought it using his dad's card (it was around 3,000 USD). Cya said everyone was surprised that he got it as his first bass when he came back to his music academy holding it. All the older guys called his name and asked him to let them try playing with it once. Kanghyun said he would have been seen as a god if he came to his music academy with the guitar he has now.
Dongmyeong talked about his first white piano and said it didn't really have a name, maybe ‘흰둥이 (hwindoongie)’? But Kanghyun said that that was the name of his [white] guitar so it wouldn't work. Dongmyeong then suggested 흰댕이 (whindaengie).
Dongmyeong shared that they were preparing the performance for '나의 계절 범은 끝났다 (End of Spring)' he bought his [black] piano and brought it to the CEO. But the CEO was against Dongmyeong using it during the performance at first because Dongmyeong looked too small with this big piano. Dongmyeong told him that he had always been small.! So the CEO told him that if he was happy this way, he could do what he wanted and use it lol
Dodo was originally red, Dongmyeong can actually change the skin(?) of it. Dongmyeong is wondering if he should change it back to red for the black day of the concert because it would create a cool contrast.
Kanghyun really likes Apple (to use as his phone). Cya too, but he finds Galaxy a bit more comfortable sending files to others. Dongmyeong finds MAC a bit difficult to use.
Cya tried to use Siri from his phone but she wasn't responding (Dongmyeong tried using her name in English and Japanese without results either)
Harin set his phone setting in Japanese, it seems.
One last spoiler, Cya said one of them (Kanghyun, Dongmyeong, Cya) would be the MC for the concerts.!

Guitar Time After School🎸💜👾

[Kanghyun cut the first VLive this day because it was lagging too much]
Kanghyun put the live in rehearsal mode a few times before starting the first one, but it was still bad. He's relieved it's not cutting now. He ate food at the dorms, did some exercise, and now is on VLive. He ate Tangsuyuk and Jajangmyeon.
Kanghyun will show his guitar solos in this VLive. He doesn't plan on doing a ‘making behind-the-scenes’ for AuRoRa yet, because it's still an unreleased song.
He is relieved that the concerts ended without any issue and that WEVE could enjoy the concerts, even though he’s sad that so many WEVEs couldn't come to the concert because of the current situation (T/N: even in South Korea, for the recent concerts they held, the audience was restricted to 100 persons per concert)
Kanghyun said that if they have opportunities abroad they will go no matter what, but the current situation still makes it dangerous for now. For concerts in South Korea, if they have opportunities of course they will do it too, because WEVEs give so much love and affection to ONEWE [they want to pay it back].
Kanghyun is doing this VLive because the WEVEs who were at the concert enjoyed it so much but there were so many who couldn’t be there.
A few minor things that happened during the last concert, the second one of the Black Day:
His guitar (Gryffondor) strap fell out, during the black concert day, the second concert. He could have put it back but it would have taken some time so he just changed guitar.During ‘기억 세탁소 (ERASER)’, Yonghoon made a small mistake and started singing when it wasn’t his part but Kanghyun’s guitar solo part. Kanghyun saw WEVEs laughing and didn’t understand why at that time, but he went to look for the video afterward and found it so funny.During ‘미쳤다 미쳤어 (Crazy Good)’, Kanghyun made his new tuner fly off toward Cya after being too powerful with his guitar. This tuner is expensive, a nice one to be able to use it for a long time. He thought it was only one of his picks at first, but luckily the tuner wasn’t damaged.
Kanghyun was the MC for the White Day and was really nervous before the first concert of the day, but he felt fine once he was actually doing it. He said he was like a real pro for the 8PM concert after that.
WEVE asked if it doesn’t hurt [his shoulder/his body] to play continuously while holding the guitar during concerts. Kanghyun said that he usually plays a few hours at once when practicing so it’s not a big deal for him (also, he exercises)
He showed the difference between picks he used during concerts and ones that are new. He couldn’t find his Gudetama pick and said it was probably Yonghoon who lost it. kanghyun is a bit scared to throw the pick to the audience at Rolling Hall, in case someone might get hurt.
Kanghyun’s parents came to the concert, his father for the two days, his mother to the Black Day concerts. He heard that his mother was able to get tickets for the White Daym, but she canceled her seats for even one more WEVE to be able to go to the concert *(T/N: there’s usually around a 500 [standing] seats capacity when ONEWE is performing at Rolling Hall, but due to COVID19 preventive measures, the recent concerts were limited to 100 tickets per show). Kanghyun also said that he really looked like his mom [💜: You can think of my mom as the woman version of myself]
Kanghyun showed how to do the dance move for ‘ACTOR’ and said that not showing any expressions makes it cooler. A WEVE mentioned the ‘H.E.R’ [BlockB] stage that Kanghyun performed during The Unit, but he said he wasn’t embarrassed, that this performance was the result of a lot of efforts. Even looking at it now, he thinks he did work hard then.
A WEVE kept asking who was the person behind him, when there was none, so Kanghyun shooted ‘Minzi-ya, come out!!!’
A WEVE mentioned the cover of Ddu-Ddu-Ddu-Ddu [BLACKPINK] ONEWE did with ONEUS. Kanghyun jokingly said, maybe it's because he didn't sing, but he thinks he was better at dancing than ONEUS for this one, he received a lot of compliments from the producers.
A WEVE mentioned their ‘3 Minutes Boyfriends’ video. Kanghyun said that he did great at acting, adding that it was during their MAS-era and that WEVEs who were curious about it could look it up on YouTube [WEVE: Are you thinking of doing it again? 💜: If I have to do it, I'll do it] [WEVE: What do I have to type to find it 💜: I won't tell you that lol]
Looking at it is fun for him too, it's all memories and those memories made it possible for them to be ONEWE today, so it’s not something he’s embarrassed by at all [💜: I can say that because I’m on VLive lol]
🎶 ‘기억 세탁소 (ERASER)’ (solo)
🎶 ‘INCOURSE’
🎶 ‘AuRoRa’ (solo) A cord snapped when he was playing. He’s really glad it didn't happen during the concert and said that today’s content was now changing the cords of a guitar~ Kanghyun said that it’s something that happens often, but it all depends on luck. Responding to a WEVE, he said that it did happen before when he was practicing hard, that cords spanned and hit his hand, but it doesn’t really hurt.
‘흰둥이 (hwindoongie)’, his white guitar, has been used for a long time so it doesn’t work that well anymore.
🎶 ‘TRAUMA (Aquarium)’ (solo) Kanghyun tried to play it by raising the bpm more and more. It’s originally at 91 -> 92 -> 94 -> 96 -> 105 -> 110 -> 115 -> 120 (but only the last part) -> 130 (only the last part because he doesn’t think he'll be able to do the rest) = The best he can go to is 120bpm.
🎶 ‘BLACK MAMBA’ [AESPA]
🎶 ‘My First Kiss’ [3OH!3] Kanghyun didn’t have the drums sounds on the computer, so he played without it
🎶 ‘CLOSER’ [The Chainsmokers]
🎶 ‘LEMON’ [Kenshi Yonezu] Kanghyun said that he really likes the song, he wishes he could sing well to sing along. He actually was working on an arrangement of ‘Shape of my Heart’ [STING], but he found out it sounds really good when he plays it on LEMON too. Kanghyun said that the staff who is with them when they go to Japan to promote, their parents too, think that Yonghoon sings this song so well, they think of Yonghoon’s voice every time they hear the song.
🎶 ‘소행성 (Parting)’ Kanghyun said that he used to raise his hand before his solo, for songs like ‘ACTOR’, exciting songs, but he doesn’t really do it anymore
Kanghyun said that he’ll do the MC again if he has the opportunity. He added that he did it this time because if Yonghoon does it (and he usually does), he has to speak more and louder and have to laugh too and his voice will get tired more quickly. So it’s for the sake of Yonghoon’s voice, and his own self-confidence too.
Kanghyun was going to stop playing, but WEVEs were still asking for songs so he said there's no way he's not playing if WEVEs want it that much. He played different songs for a short time each. [WEVE: I'm really sorry but could you do ‘IF’ 💜: Waaaaah~ What do you have to be sorry for, okay, I’ll play ‘IF’]
🎶 ‘내가 처음 만져본 강아지 (Love Me) - Rock vers.’ (solo)
Kanghyun said it had been really fun, and that he would end the VLive in a fun way too and he played ‘기억 한 권의 책 (A Book In Memory)’, where the last lyrics are ‘Oh goodbye~’
