电台采访：K/DA大爆料 Interview: Inside K/DA

作者：PopRox

PopRox：全世界的听众，大家好！今天来PopRox作客的是几位非常特别的嘉宾——来自K/DA的四位成员！要是万一，万一有人还不知道K/DA的话，就请你马上去搜一下她们最热的单曲《POP/STARS》来听听看吧。

PopRox: Hello to our international audience! Today we have very special guests for you. I’m here with the four members of K/DA. If you haven’t heard of them, and how have you not heard of them, are you living under a rock?! Go to YouTube right now and search for their hit song “POP/STARS”.

K/DA，你们能来我们非常激动。

We are so excited to have you today, K/DA.

卡莎：大家好！我是卡莎，你现在正在收听PopRox！我和K/DA的其他人都很高兴能来上节目玩！

K/DA: Hi everyone! My name is Kai’Sa and you’re listening to PopRox! The rest of K/DA and I are excited to hang out!

PopRox：卡莎，我真的要说我好喜欢你的口音啊。不如就跟我们说说你的成长故事吧。

PopRox: I got to say, Kai’Sa, it’s so lovely to hear your accent. Tell us more about your upbringing.

卡莎：谢谢。我的童年其实是分散在很多地方度过的。因为父母非常喜欢旅行。所以我的口音就会听起来比较不一样吧。

Kai’Sa: Thank you. Well, I grew up all over actually; my parents traveled quite a bit. My accent is pretty international.

PopRox：那你有喜欢的城市吗？

PopRox: Any favorite cities?

卡莎：（笑）当然了。我喜欢开普敦、首尔、纽约，还有香港。我加入K/DA之前大部分时间是在香港。

Kai’Sa: <LAUGHS> Of course! My favorite cities are Cape Town, Seoul, New York, and Hong Kong, where I spent most of my time before K/DA.

阿狸：（韩语）她在编舞的时候也加入了很多国际化的特色！和卡莎一起练舞从来都很有意思。

Ahri: 그래서 저희 안무에 이국적인 느낌이 있어요. 카이사랑 안무 연습을 하면 연습 같지 않고 너무 즐겁죠.

PopRox：听起来很厉害！同时谢谢伊芙帮忙翻译。那一场演出你们要准备多久呢？

(She brings international style to our choreography too! It's never a boring dance practice with Kai'Sa.)

阿狸：很长时间！（韩语）每个人都很努力。如果是演出日，我们就会很早起来化妆准备。要是没有演出，我们就会早早地去练习室。

PopRox: That’s incredible! And thank you, Eve for translating. How long does it take for you to get ready for a performance?

PopRox：好的阿狸，我们来聊聊你吧。带着一首大热单曲重新回到舞台上的感觉如何？

Ahri: A lot of time! 상상도 못 할 정도로 오래 걸려요. 다들 최선을 다하거든요. 투어 중에는 빨리 일어나서 의상 챙기고 메이크업 받고 준비를 하죠. 투어 중이 아닐 땐 스튜디오에 일찍부터 가 있고요.

伊芙琳对阿狸：（韩语）我觉得这个问题很没意思。他们老问这个。

(Everyone in the house works so hard. We get up early to get dressed and prepare for a day during tours. If we're not touring, we'll be at the studio early.)

阿狸：（韩语）没关系伊芙。我离开的时候，就把精力放在了音乐上。我希望用更加激进大胆的声音，鼓励大家去追求自己的渴望。世界各地的粉丝，他们对各种文化背景的艺人都很愿意接受，也给了我无比巨大的支持，我非常感激。谢谢大家的爱与鼓励。我们心在一起。

PopRox: Alright, let’s talk about you Ahri. How does it feel to be back in the limelight and with such a hit single?

伊芙琳：这点很重要。阿狸并没有引退。她发现音乐公司会对创意有很多的限制，所以她找到了一个胆子很大的团队，想办法出了一张很强势的专辑。

Evelynn to Ahri: 자꾸 왜 이런 걸 물어볼까? 난 이 질문 별로야.

PopRox：伊芙琳说得很好。在音乐界，你是出了名的很难合作的艺人。你觉得自己在K/DA里找到了自己合适的位置了吗？

(I don’t think it’s a great question. They always ask.)

伊芙琳：嗯，“坏女孩”啦，“高冷女神”啦，这样的标签我听得多了。关于之前合作过的乐团我没有什么意见，只是单纯的创作意见有分歧罢了。K/DA做的东西是阿狸带着大家商量着一起来的，所以没错，这很适合我。

Ahri: 너무 그러지 마, 이블린. 저는… 일단 음악에 집중했어요. 팬분들께서 좋아하고 자랑스러워하실 만한 노래, 대담하고 아름다운 노래를 만들고 싶었거든요. 언제나 다양한 문화에 열린 마음으로 저희를 응원해 주시는 팬 여러분께 감사하다는 말씀 드리고 싶네요. 정말 감사합니다! 꿈이 현실이 된 것 같아요.

PopRox：能再多聊一下你们的专辑吗？

(It’s ok, Eve. I focused on my music. I wanted to make bold and beautiful songs that people love and have confidence in. Thank you to our fans around the world for the continued support and acceptance of our cross-cultural artists. Thank you for all your love. Our vision came together.)

阿狸：（韩语）卡莎，你来说吧？

Eve: This is important. Ahri did not disappear. She saw real issues with the restrictions of creativity from music labels and found a way to unleash a powerful album with a fearless team.

卡莎：在现实与幻想之间有一个地方，一切都有可能发生。你可以成为任何人，做任何事。这就是你的梦。在这个夹缝中的世界里，K/DA感到自信又强大。我们可以梦想成真，你们也可以。

PopRox: That’s a great point, Evelynn. You have a reputation in the music industry as a difficult artist to work with. Do you feel you’ve found a perfect position on K/DA?

阿卡丽：你们也可以的！

Eve: Oh, I’m familiar with the “bad girl” or “diva” labels. I have nothing but good things to say about previous bands I’ve worked with. We simply had creative differences. Everything we do in K/DA is collaborative. Ahri’s leadership enables each of us to express our talents equally. Yes, this is a perfect fit for me.

（卡莎大笑）

PopRox: Can you tell us more about your album, K/DA?

PopRox：你们觉得为什么《POP/STAR》这首歌会红呢？

Ahri: 카이사, 네가 대답할래?

阿狸：（韩语）阿卡丽。她是我们的杀手锏。她的声音太特别了。

(Kai’Sa, can you answer?)

（女孩们大笑）

Kai’Sa: There is a place between fantasy and reality where anything can happen. You have the power to be anyone, and do anything. It is your dream. In our in-between world, K/DA feels confident and strong. We can do anything, and so can you.

阿卡丽：没有。不是啦。大家一起努力的结果。伊芙和阿狸非常迫切地鼓励我们打开思路。比如说，这段说唱我写了很多次，每一次阿狸都怂恿我再多给一些。伊芙嘛，就更直接一些。

Akali: So can you!

伊芙琳：我叫她不要想着怎样才能成为亚洲最有梗的说唱歌手，直接做就好了。

Ahri: <LAUGHS>

卡莎：我觉得是阿狸让这个组合真正地与众不同。我们每个人都有自己的风格，而在阿狸的引导下，我们所做的音乐是与现在的流行组合完全不一样的。全世界的粉丝都很喜欢！

PopRox: Why do you think the song “POP/STARS” is such a hit?

PopRox：阿卡丽，你会在街头表演，对吗？

Ahri: 아칼리 덕분이죠. 저희의 비밀 병기라고나 할까요? 목소리가 독보적이잖아요.

伊芙琳：你可拦不住她。

(Akali. She's our secret weapon. No one sounds like her.)

阿卡丽：哈。是。有时候吧。我不希望自己的成功是因为大家知道我是谁。我希望他们是因为觉得我的歌词很棒所以才喜欢的。

Akali: No! No it’s not me I promise. I am trying to break tradition, but it’s easier with K/DA doing it together. It’s all of us. Eve and Ahri work so hard to encourage each of us to unleash our minds. For example, I wrote the rap for “POP/STARS” so many times, and each time Ahri encouraged me to go further. Eve… well Eve is more direct.

PopRox：对于偶像明星来说这还真不多见。我们非常欣赏这种态度。有人在香港和东京都见过你，正好是你们巡演的地方。而且，你在首尔街头的说唱视频现在传得很火。你还翻了几个跟头。

Eve: I told her to stop trying to be the most creative rap artist in Asia, and to just be it.

阿卡丽：哈。是啊。几个跟头而已。

Kai’Sa: I feel like Akali brings this truly unique vibe. We each have our own style and with Ahri’s direction we make music completely different than current pop songs. And our fans love it!

PopRox：你们最喜欢《POP/STARS》里的哪个部分？每个人都说说吧。

PopRox: Akali, you perform on the street, right?

卡莎：噢我超爱阿卡丽的说唱。有紫光灯的那些场景想说的是，我们的眼睛看不到不代表什么都没有，这也是我喜欢的创作。

Eve: You can’t stop her.

阿卡丽：那些涂鸦是卡莎和我自己喷的！她还做了我的口罩。我很喜欢阿狸的那种优雅。她在这首歌里给我们打下了非常有力的基调。

Akali: Ha. Yes. Sometimes. I don’t want to be successful because people know who I am. I want them to like my lyrics because they’re good.

伊芙琳：在隧道里朝着卡莎飙车很精彩。可惜那个场景我们只拍了七遍。我真希望能和那辆跑车多呆久一点儿。有一次我们真的让卡莎站在跑车前面，但是我做不来。我没法对着她踩油门，怕撞到她！看到最终的效果我觉得太棒了。

Eve: They’re good.

卡莎：你知道我完全可以躲开的。

PopRox: That’s pretty rare for a pop star, and we really appreciate it. You’ve been spotted in Hong Kong and Tokyo as well, wherever you girls tour. There’s a viral video of you in Seoul rapping and doing a few flips.

（伊芙琳大笑）

Akali: Ha. Yeah. Just a few flips.

PopRox：阿狸呢？

PopRox: What was each of your favorite parts in “POP/STARS?”

阿狸：（韩语）结尾部分的齐舞是我最喜欢的部分。我们并没有很多机会聚在一起。所以大家都在的时候对我来说很特别。四个人一起跳舞的时候，才是K/DA真正发光的时刻。

Kai’Sa: Oh I adore Akali’s rap. The black light scenes showing how there’s so much more than what meets the eye, that’s the kind of art I like making.

PopRox：那K/DA下一步的计划是？

Akali: Kai’Sa spray painted the art herself! She made my mask. My favorite part is Ahri’s elegance. Her parts in “POP/STARS” give us a strong foundation to set up this magical world.

阿狸：（韩语）我们会继续世界巡演。亚洲结束之后就到欧洲、南美和美国。流行音乐包含了舞曲、摇滚、都市和电子风格。因为我们的背景很丰富，所以没有什么做音乐的条条框框。我们会不断地挑战极限，拥抱这个不断变化的世界。

PopRox: You two have so many talents! What about you, Eve?

伊芙琳：简单地说，这才刚刚开始。

Eve: Driving down the tunnel at Kai’Sa was a thrill. The thing is we filmed that scene only seven times. I wish I had more time with that sports car. We did put Kai’Sa in front of the speeding car once, but they told us not to do it again. Seeing the final version of it was fabulous.

PopRox：谢谢K/DA花时间来上我们的节目。希望你们在英雄联盟全球总决赛上的表演一切顺利。同时也感谢全世界的听众们。这里是PopRox。

Kai’Sa: You know I would’ve gotten away in time.

Eve: But the stunt coordinator might not.

PopRox: Ahri?

Ahri: POP/STARS에서 제가 제일 좋아하는 부분은… 마지막 장면에서 같이 안무하는 거요. 촬영 중일 땐 따로 있는 경우가 많다 보니까 함께인 순간이 좀 특별하게 느껴져요. 넷이 같이 춤을 출 때 저희가 제일 빛나는 것 같아요.

(Dancing together in the last scene is my favorite part of “POP/STARS”. We’re not always together when we film. When we are, it’s very special to me. When the four of us dance together, K/DA shines.)

PopRox: So what’s next for K/DA?

Ahri: 팬분들을 위해서 투어도 계속하고 음악도 만들어야죠. 저희 음악의 가치는 자기표현이나 사랑, 아름다움, 우정, 자신감 같은 데 있는 것 같아요. 더 많은 분들께 그런 가치를 전해드리고 싶어요.

(We’ll continue to travel and create music for our fans. I believe our music celebrates self expression, love, beauty, friendship, and confidence. We will take that all over the world.)

Eve: Basically, we’re just getting started.

PopRox: Thank you so much for spending time with us K/DA. Wishing you the best of luck at the League of Legends Worlds Championship performance. And thank you to our listeners from around the world. This is PopRox signing off.
