IVE sits down with Billboard President Mike Van to discuss their newest EP ‘IVE SWITCH,’ why their favorite songs are “해야HEYA” & “Accendio” and more!
AN YUJIN:
So let me introduce us. One, two, three.
IVE:
Hi, we’re IVE.
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 one day you’ll be on the cover?
