Oh my Nicole Jung has a youtube channeled called "Cole Time 니콜"! I started looking at his instagram after this podcast and her dance cover on Itzy's Wannabe was awesome~~
yo eric why not guest tiffany.. been waiting for like forever.. hahaha..thanks.
I want all the Korean-American Idols from Gen 2 to do a round table about their experiences.
YES!!!!!!!
If that means we get both Tiffany and Jessica then hell yeah!
@@magicmarvel 🤯I didn’t think about that 🥲🤍
@@magicmarvelI didn’t think about that. one could only dream
GAHHH GREAT IDEA
Snsd, Kara, Wonder Girls, f(x), 4 minute and 2ne1 were the bomb back in the day
After School, Nine Muses, Rainbow, Miss A, T-ara too! They really made Gen2 awesome :")
Gen 2 definitely paved the way for Kpop going global.
dont forget "SECRET". they were also great at that time
i am still stuck with this generation. they're definitely a part of my childhood
@@laracroftvideos then it stopped
It's funny how she started out not knowing much korean and now she has problems finding some words in english. Now she's more comfortable speaking korean now
Interesting to see how much English she’s lost after 15 years. She feels more Korean than Korean American to me. The contrast with Eric is pretty stark. Ofc Eric was older when he moved to Korea.
She’s been in Korea for like half her life now. Koreans don’t use much English as their culture likes to stick to Korean. It happens to a lot of gyopos
@@tainanking Nicole’s not a gyopo because she was born in the US. Only those who were born in Korea and resided outside the country are gyopos.
I lived in the states for 8 years without speaking mcuh Thai. When I came back 3 years ago, i also noticed my Thai has gotten worse (more like my ability to process Thai in my head). However, 3 years have passed and I now speak Thai better than English (and lost much of the English I used to speak during the 8 years in the US 😅 it’s interesting in Nicole’s case how she lost her native tongue though.
I remember when she was 16 or so on variety shows as the butt of lighthearted jokes when she didn’t understand Korean.
@@reishidesu isn’t gyopo the general term for Korean diaspora? i’ve seen lots of Korean-Americans still be called gyopo despite being born abroad, because they’re ethnically fully Korean. your definition seems more fitting for the term “gyomin”
I've been stanning KARA since I was a high schooler and this is my first time listening to Nicole's English.
SAME
IKR??? I was like 'she speaks english????'
SAME. I was shocked haha
I think she had some awkward English conversations on Korean variety shows, but real conversation with another native speaker...I can't remember.
@@Fergus316 ooh actually, yeah I think she did on Star Golden Bell or smth
2:42 Now it's no more "former", for she joined KARA again🥳
Yeah:)
When KARA happened, I knew my Kamilia spirit really never dies in my heart.
Yo, her personality is just so bright and energetic! It was really refreshing just listening to her and Eric vibing together 💛
She’s also mentioned the horrors of TV evil editing
I watched her also on mmtg. She's awesome.
suddenly i remember in golden bell, when nicole spoke korean but no one understand it except tiffany, so she translated it to the others. now i when i look at eric's face, i was like is he really understand nicole hahahah
When you learn a new language or know multiple languages, you realize how there are so many different ways to express things. Sometimes, you explain things the way you would in your first language, but you use the words in your second language. It's a real fun struggle being multilingual.
Yes I remembered
I think Tiffany and Nicole together would be a riot and I’m so here for it.
Really glad to see her doing so well after her idol days.
The nostalgia of 2nd gen hits so hard 🥺
Freaking out. Haven’t seen kara in so long
It’s so surreal to see and hear Nicole after SO long.
I found out about KARA back in 2010 during the Lupin era. Nicole became one of my early girl crushes, especially with the short black haircut at the time. 💕
I remember actually witnessing the comeback stage of KARA on Music Core with Wanna. They promoted Mister as well on the same day but that blew up much more than Wanna so they went with that haha. Their dance moves with Mister was a big mind-shaking moment for me and I knew this was going to go viral.
But seriously, they were beautiful and so talented; I'm really lucky to see them perform before KARA's final days. Kpop in 2nd generation is still and will remain superior than any other generation in Kpop.
2nd gen is the golden days :,). Of course, every generation has it's charms, but 2nd gen is just... golden, beautiful, fun. (^-^)
Ah i remember that too. that was soo long ago !
Eric killing it with the guests recently. NICOLE??? omg i cant wait to listen to this
At least in the interviews, Eric doesn't badger them with heavy subjects (like Goo Hara's passing) or controversies, unlike the Korean media.
Yeah he knows what to and what to not say
This made me realize how nice it is to talk to people who speak all your languages. It allows for switching back and forth many many times, and people will still go "Yeah, I know right."
Yeah that's how I feel when I'm with my hk friends. I can speak English and cantonese with them
Goodness. Would've never imagined her personality was like this. Just like Tiffany flourished when she finally spoke freely, it's so nice and fun to see her being genuinely herself and showing her charm. She sounds exactly like me and my friends, speaking KorEnglish lol. Really wish her the best
podcast done by Nicole, Soyou, and Key?! I'm there! Eric make it happen
Oh eric please make it happen
OHHHH PLEASE KEY PLEASE KEYYYY
@@maninabbo1942 PRETTY PLEASE
Omg I totally forget about her, and she was one of my bias in Kara. It's funny how she is now struggling with English, when she just debut she was having a hard time communicating in Korean
She still has that Cali accent tho.
Nicole is probably reading these comments. I just wanna say that I admittedly viewed Nicole as selfish for leaving KARA, and I've said bad things about her due to that. I think a lot of fans and even non-fans put so much value in the groups and the big image it comes with that we forget what the individuals are going through behind the scenes. I turned 29 last week, and I left my toxic job this week with no job lined up. I find myself relating to her in just wanting peace and wanting to do the things she wants, and these feelings are totally valid. KARA had so many achievements, but so did Nicole on her own. I hope she does do a podcast with her friends. I really enjoyed this episode. She's radiating so much positivity and freedom. Otherwise, I wish her the best.
I didn't understand it either why she left KARA, when they were doing so well, but later i realized how kpop industry has so many dark sides. It's more than i would imagine.
@@Tronda550and she left after SEVEN YEARS. was not a short period of time
@@Tronda550 because she was placed on the backbench after the first contract dispute, she wanted more activities but DSP wouldnt promote her at all. She did say before she wanted to stay in KARA while working for another agency instead, which is rather rare and unheard of back in the day. Her wanting to stay in KARA can be backed up by the fact that JY and her came back without any conditions.
Now in 2023 looking back, her leaving KARA wasnt a bad thing. She found her own color, able to express her own style without limitations.
NICOLE???? Brings back so many memories. Glad to see she's doing well
Wow, Nicole's personality is nothing like how I imagined her to be! I feel like she would get along so well with EXID's Hani - they both seem so easygoing and just - happy/laughy.
I thought that too. They even look similar. They’re both goofballs. 😂
@@CryKaze Omg, now that you mention it - they do have really similar features! Hani in her bang-less phase did look a lot like Nicole! Plus even the way they talk, laugh, and roast themselves is eerily similar.
i had the same thought!
And they both are 92 linner
37:53 Eric is me after listened to Nicole's diet routine. "OMG girl you were not living" 🤭
But now we are happy to know that Nicole's doing great 🥰
Yoobin, Jay, Nichkhun, Nicole.... my 2nd gen heart. I am loving these interviews.
Amber?
I love Nicole. She has a great personality and characteristics. So likable. I can tell she is really nervous here. There is certain questions or when she is answering you can here her voice shaking.
When Nicole talked about how toxic social media can be, I was like yeaaahh I agree 100%! Idols are human too, it's nice to know that they feel the same way about social media like the rest of us.
Do you know which book she mentioned when she talked about the sns?
Oh thank you Dive Studio 💐😭
After Nickhun and Nicole, please feed us more with guests from Gen 2. Huhuu, we def miss that era 🤞
I miss the old times!
When there were Kara, Wonder Girls, SNSD, etc!
So good to see Nicole!
Same 😭
Yo any chance you can get Krystal in here? 👀
Hell no, that would never happen. The Jung sisters ain't about that. Not to get mixed with one of the best Jung, Nicole of course. Their not related but, you get the gist.
@NowNoon Krystal already left SM
yes, petition for Krystal to guest on this!
I'd kill to have her talk freely about her career on that show
@@imnotsurewhy I don't get the gist actually. Why wouldn't Krystal go on here?
This is the most unexpected guest ever. My very first bias!!!
Nicole is the Greatest, Bright and energetic MC support on most variety show in her generation!
Not to mention, a heavily underrated main dancer! She is a shining gem of talent.
@@bluemusician958 She Was Popular About Her Skill Because Of Hit The Stage. When She Was In KARA,DSP Media Didn't Allowed To Show. Her Itzy Wannabe Cover Video On Her YT Channel Called Cole Time Was Very Famous.
It was nice to hear from Nicole. Tiffany Young next pleaseee.
Yasssss pleaseeeeeee, i'm shouting this literally EVERY PODCAST, eric bring queen TIFFANY YOUNG she's about to drop her new album too
Dang i remember nicole in kara days always seemed bright but her brightness now is different, like more mature but so easy to talk to still 💖 girl is glowing, we love to see it
Lupin was literally the first Kpop song I heard by chance on an old streaming platform and well from then on I kept listening to a lot of different Kpop artists❤️
still my fav song of KARA.
@@chaoscolby same for me
I've been Kamilia since 2010 and this make me so happy ❤️❤️❤️
The last time I saw Nicole was when she participated in Hit the Stage, it's been so long so I'm very happy to see her again now. Hope she'll be a regular here
She just filmed Video Star with her dog don't hesitate to watch the episode ^^
Needs to be a deal made, if Nicole comes back on KPDB she has to bring Melly with her.
im crying im weeping im sobbing my heart my soul is feeling totally bliss to see my gal nicole
I remember her bob cut hair during their guesting in Family Outing and how cute this unni was speaking Korean. I was a middle schooler then but I’m 25 now. Crazy how we’re all getting older with our idols. 😭 I’m an unni now to the younger generation. Anyways, thanks for a great episode! Please have CL as a guest! Feels like she would spill some tea. ☕️☕️
I'm 25 too, and hella agree with you xD
I remember stanning Kara from their debut stage when i was a freshman in college and i followed every comeback after that. How time flies.
I think I cried, I absolutely adore Nicole thanks for having her! She's still loveable and sweet hope the best for her!!
I always had a soft spot for when it comes to og kpop groups
I feel like the kpdb podcast is like a therapy session to the celebrities.. they get to talk about their struggles and be thankful for what they have.. I feel like it's a needed conversation for everyone.. even I would appreciate such a time...
this is my third time coming back to this episode and i really loved the parts where nicole talks about her personal growth and struggle with insecurities, that really resonated with me especially rn because i’m going through one of the roughest times of my life
Agreed, Sooyou, Nicole and keyyy!! yaaaas. Lol
I really enjoyed watching this episode. Didn’t expect to see her on this. She is such a wonderful person. She has been through so much and I wish her all the best. Now I want to listen to KARA songs.
OMG, I didn't think I missed Nicole so much but I felt so happy to see her on your show?? I hadn't seen her in a looooooong while and it was so nice to hear from her and remember how bright she is.
I'm glad things are well for her and that she's healthier! She deserves that!
I remember when I was into kpop, Nicole is my favourite kpop artist ever (and she is still my fav now).. watching this brings so much memories about the old days and I love listening to her. Thank you Eric and daebak show for having her on your podcast.
Wow! Seeing Nicole in this interview brings a warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. Thanks for bringing her in, Eric and Dive Studios! Thanks for sharing the stories Nicole, always inspiring then and now.
this makes me so melancholic Kara got me into kpop and Hara was my fave an I loved Nicole and her crazy dynamic with the members
i just miss these days when they were together
It’s been a long time since I listened to Nicole speaking English omg i miss Kara.... 😭😭😭
First ever bias in kpop was Nicole! I love her energy and her self awareness. Thank you for talking about mental health and for being so honest about your experiences. ❤️
nicole really is so lovely and refreshing. i discovered her when i was still in middle school with kara and was in love with her genuine and sweet personnality. i hope the newcomers got to know a lot more about her and will tag along on the journey with us kamilias !
There were lots of 2nd gen idols who debuted so early in their lives and though it seems like they're so lucky to be famous at such a young age, they missed so much of their teenage and developing years too. I like listening to them now that they're adults.
Maaaan I’m so bummed with myself for getting into Kara as late as I did. Around Mamma Mia and Cupid is when I get into them but I love OT5 with Nicole and Jiyoung. Always loved Nicole and her bright personality. Glad she took time for herself after she left and is doing well
Thank you for interviewing Nicole! I was/am a huge fan of KARA since they debut. I love Nicole and am happy to see she looks great and seems to be doing well. If you read this Nicole, Happy New Year! Stay healthy and happy!
Nicole and Bom were my queens back in the day, I’m in TEEAAARRSSS. Thank you so much for having her on Dive! 😭😭😭😭
it's so nice to see nicole in this kind of environment!! being able to relax and reflect on life 😌even though it was her first podcast, truly a natural!! thanks eric for being such an amazing host as always!!
My bias in Kara 💗💗 I was so in love with her when I was in high school, my heart broke when she left the group. But listening to her now, and me being older, I understand why she did it. Love you Nicole!!
Yes, Nicole on Golden Bell was the most memorable thing for me. I couldn't believe that they had this American girl doing all these explanations in Korean, but she was really amazing.
finally watching this. it's so good to see nicole!!!! i've really missed seeing her more often
Finally the full episode 😍😍
DIVE thanks for making this happen
Thank you for this podcast with nicole, I’ve literally missed her everyday and that’s not even an exaggeration, i know that sounds creepy, but, seeing her like this, i’m so relieved that she’s doing well with her life. I’m really happy for you, cole, whatever path you wanna choose, there’ll always be this one girl here cheering on you :)
Nicole is my 1st ever ultimate bias. I got into kpop because of her. She'd always be awesome ❤
It's about time! I was wondering when Eric would get Nicole on the show. That was fascinating to hear what she's been up to. I remember when she left KARA and worked so hard in the US on her craft. She's always been a fun, quirky personality.
It's been a while since I last seen Nicole. Glad she's doing well!
I didn't realize how much I missed seeing her until now. TYSM Eric for having her on the show
always knew of kara’s impact on kpop and really enjoy their music, but i wasn’t really familiar with each member. the only other time i think i saw nicole was when eric was on wgm, and now i see her again here! she kinda reminds me of hyerim. she’s well spoken, sophisticated, mature and seems really fun to hang with
Oh Nicole was a young 2nd Gen, thought she was the same age as Jessica & Tiffany! That just really put things into perspective.
What a great interview!! Thank you💚💚💚
KARA was my favorite Korean girl group.
I started listening K-Pop music because of them ..
I still remember when they conquered Japan's Oricon Chart ..
Really miss the old days ..
Glad I found this. It's very interesting to hear her perspectives. I notice when she breaks into Korean, it's such a beautiful language.
Oh wow Nicole, it’s been so long! Glad to see she's doing well! I just love her personality, she spreads positive vibes and is bright and genuine! Loved to her about her experiences with being the industry, her personal growth and travel bits, even her home interior discussion was fun and relatable. A podcast with Nicole, Key and Soyou would be amazing or just Nicole would be nice too. I feel like she’d have a lot more interesting things to share and we only got a glimpse through this interview :D
Btw, she says her english vocab stopped at like grade 9 but honestly she's so well spoken. She just needs to speak more english again and she'll be speaking better than some other english speaking idols that actually lived in the U.S a lot longer than her and have more english speaking friends in no time.
😭😭 I miss her so muchhhhh💕
YOU LOOK GREAT NICOLE 💕💕
Thank you so much for bringing Nicole! Such an inspiration! Loved the podcast and the environment seemed so comfortable. I felt like I was listening to my friends talk about their life. Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year! Stay Healthy!
I can totally relate to her! When she said she could hear english well but not talk well.
golden bell was a classic, I miss that show! keep the awesome guests coming! :)
i haven't seen nicole in soooo long omg!!!! i freaked out when i saw this on dive's twitter and came as fast as i could lol my second generation kpop stan heart T____T
I LOVED Nicole on golden bell! i used to be SOOOO into KARA im so glad yall could have her on *cries*
I never realized just how much I missed her laugh. ^^
more than being happy to see Nicole on a show after a long time, i'm happy to see her in ERIC's show. i can't with how comfortable they look together.
I think I'm happier than both of them for their reunit.
i'm so happy they talked about golden bell! i knew her because of that. it was one of the variety shows you watch when you follow kpop idols then
Thank you, Dive. Thank you, Eric. Love you, Nicole 💛
woah this was so much fun!! back then i used to only watch kara by their dance practices and just had fun learning the dances!! its so refreshing to see nicole's personality, i love her
Ohhh it was sooooo nice to see Nicole! She was always my fave in KARA, especially for her variety show appearances. I can see why she stopped them though. So glad too that she took the time to figure herself out and work to a place where she's happy. Gonna subscribe to her channel now in support! Also a podcast with Key and Soyou would be everythingggg. I hope they do it!
really miss Kara, my first girl crush at the time
It's really nice to see Nicole this bright and happy with her life. Thanks DIVE for doing this!
Seeing Nicole always give the the smile. Bubbly and cheerful. Cant help to Search for Nicole Star Golden Bell Challenge youtube clips. Such witty answers. Best laughters. Those were the days
It was so nice and nostalgic to hear from Nicole! I love this episode, especially as someone that got into kpop around the same time as when Kara debuted! I think this was my first time hearing Nicole speaks English so extensively even after all these years haha
So nice to see Nicole and her bubbly personality again. Also great to hear her past struggles and now that’s she’s happy and doing well ❤️
Seeing Nicole made me so happy
Thank you, Nicole & Kara, for completing my childhood. Nicole is really a great performer. I'm hoping to see more of your solo works.
So much fun to see Nicole n Eric.... love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great interview! I wish that Nicole would be an awesome in a podcast. I'm glad that she is doing great. All the best!
Nicoleeeee!👋🏼 I've always loved her personality, she so bubbly and nice. ♡ I still watch the old variety shows she appeared in.
I'm SO grateful for this episode. KARA is Legendary and Nicole was my favourite 😊
Aw. So nice to see and hear Nicole. She's grown so much and is already almost 30. I'm so glad she's mentally stronger now. I loved her during variety shows back in the days. ❤️😊
it's really strange that nicole is speaking english on the camera, i was like....wow mindblowing HAHHA but yeah nice to see you again, Nicole.
Great podcast, Eric!
Nicole was my favorite Kara member because of Star Golden Bell. She was so amazing explaining all those words. And I loved her solo too :)
Kudos to Eric for giving credit to Nicole for also paving the way for artists after them 🥺💕
I hope Nicole and the rest of Kara know there are people like me who still listen to Pretty Girl in like, weekly basis. It’s on my daily playlist so whenever i listen to that playlist there’s like 95% I will listen to girl~~ pretty girl pretty girl 그냥 되진 않는거죠 난~~~ 🥳
