I could listen to Eric speak forever. The fact that this was more of a conversation about his life, thoughts, aspirations and then touching on subjects like representation and what that ultimately means for him as an artist. I'm very thankful for the amount of work that was put into getting to know Eric and his life. Very thankful that the questions drove alot of these responses from him. It's always good to see such a nice flowing conversation.
slkbfly0183 Could you pls tell how that podcast is called? I totally freaked out when Eric mentioned his podcast! I looked it up but I am not 100% sure if I found the ”right” one, yk?
@@kirastaub5468 he has 3, i think the main one he does is Kpop Daebak show but he also does commit or quit w his brother and he did another called i think you're dope.
Eric talking about his brother had me on the floor “He has now dropped out of college” “Oh my..god” “”At Columbia” “OH my God” ..”that’s so expensive..” “”He has one semester left” “OH MY GOD STAHP IT” This whole interaction made me pee 😂😂😂
When Eric was talking about how bad the Korean interviewers are when talking to western actors all I could think about is how terrible western interviewers are with Korean artists. Their "Do you like Korean BBQ?" is our "Which American artists do you want to collab with?" Zach and Eric need to teach all these people how to do it right.
@@mililareis you can see him visibly cringe when that question comes up. It's sad to see them get excited when asked an actual thoughtful question since it happens so rarely.
Exactly like I don’t know, ask interesting questions. How was it to work through the album or choreo together with other dancers, was it hard to have a formation done and finalized? Did it have unexpected twists like “no redo this beat, the lyrics don’t make sense” type thoughts? Was the choreo tiring but exciting to do? How did you guys decide who had what parts/lines? We’re you excited for this comeback with a meaningful album and lyrics for your 7th year together?
They don't participate in the creating process of their songs for the most of them and they are in 4 to 21 people in a group it would take hours asking them personal questions and stuff.
@@hala-tb8jz I could see it too but BTS' schedules are so damn tight. I would want to see a real in depth interview from RM. I could only realistically see them doing it, is if it was during a break or something and RM had the time to fly to the states and talk for an hour then fly back. Ya know.
What I learned from this interview are: 1. Eric opened up about his past relationship(s) which he did not in Korean interview. And turned them into songs. So, I think most of his breakup songs were inspired from his real relationship stories. 2. Brian had one semester left at Columbia University, but chose to work with Eric. And Eric will make sure his youngest brother will finish his study. 3. Eric's definition of sexy/sexiness and success are so deep.
@@cloudzone9297 I'm learning. English is not my first language. Could you tell me what you learned? Let's see if you're the best listener.
5 лет назад+658
Whenever Eric talks about his language struggles it amazes me how perfect he has become fighting through all those years. Since I am interested in learning languages, it gives me hope that i can maybe go beyond elementary level in all the languages I know including my native language lol
i can tell that zach is really earnest about truly being interested in each and every person he interviews and believing in the worthiness of everyone's stories. i get why dan and eric can't relate but i really admire that about zach. makes me want to be more empathetic, considerate, and perceptive of others.
@@Strifex3 i mean, i don't know why exactly, i just mean that they both expressed that they sometimes have to fake interest in the people they interview and i think that's reasonable
i swear, he is getting more recognition, THIS IS WHAT HE DESERVES. 🥺sum people fr be sleeping on talent and an amazing person. he’s so open about things and like this is just everything.
insomniac club He definitely is underrated,, but,, it's kind of nice. Because when people are really big,, everything they do is the biggest thing ever and it gets tiring
i love how eric nam is different from the rest in a way, he follows his own style. and i admire that so much from him. people should rlly look into him more, he’s amazing & a great singer. i honestly wish more people would try to listen to his music & probably fall in love with him too. 🥺💞
Honestly I wouldn’t mind if this interview lasted longer. I could listen to Eric speak forever. He is so well spoken and this is the kind of interview and attention that he deserves.
Love that Zach is meeting with so many Asian artists lately. Eric is an amazing person. I cracked up at the end about the your dog speaks Chinese?! It's been so long since I saw that clip... I can still hear the extreme shock in his voice hahahahaha Can't wait till the day he is able to sit down for a longer interview with BTS too! Please make it happen BigHit! It would only make the world a better place!! 🙏
Realistically I can't see it happening. BTS interviews are so heavily dry and managed these days, there's hardly any thing they can say anymore other than repeating the same responses.
@@xelestial_sky part of the reason why it is like that is bcz of whatever BTS says becomes a problem, for example, China picked a huge fight with BTS regarding their van fleet award acceptance speech.
Ok in regards to Zach saying that he wants to be the best at what he does, I ran into Raja Kumari while i was getting a new tattoo and she had come in to get hers, and I had a moment where i told her that i had learnt of her via the zach sang show and we briefly spoke abt him as an interviewer and as a viewer, you make fans of the artist happy w/ the details you speak about in the interview, while also bringing enough information to new fans. I always look forward to any and all artists zach interviews whether i know of them or not. but i do know Eric and i totally love the dude and i wish him the best!!!!!!!
As a Korean-American who's been a kpop fan for far too long, I feel the same energy as Eric does, the tide is turning and these are some exhilarating times. We are only just starting to see some representation and he's right, I can't think of any other East Asian-American solo male pop artist right now who's had a significant impact. For Korean-American solo artists right now trying to break into the US, I can only think of Tiffany and Eric, it's kinda wild. I appreciate all of the interviews Zach does with kpop artists but I think I loved this one the most. It was a great, thorough, honest, deep, good-natured conversation. Zach asked some deep questions at the right time and Eric had clearly thoughtful answers. This is the most engaged I've seen Dan. I loved when he stumped them a few times asking if they've ever seen an AA solo artist making a true impact in American entertainment, and the reason why he went to Korea to build his music career first. He really made them think. I actually didn't know his ultimate goal was to make it in the US but I think he's a great role model in this new wave. I spent the majority of my late teenage/young adult life in ATL and saw his parents and Eddie at Epik High's show last year lol so I feel somewhat connected to him. I've watched him as a casual fan over the years since he debuted and he really has worked his ass off in multiple fields to get to where he is now. All the while staying humble, respectful, and grounded. Love the new album, it's been on repeat, and I plan on buying it this weekend.
wow... honestly this is the best interview i have ever seen. This was so deep. I really liked the questions you guys asked eric. This is really the example how an interview should be. Thank you eric for opening up about everything. I always thought about these thinks but it is nice to finally really have an korean artist be so brutally honest about all this stuff.!!!
I remember two years ago, when i was somewhat into kpop, i used to listen to A LOT of Eric Nam. But seeing him on variety shows really bugged me. He didn't look comfortable. I'm really happy that two years later, he finally found his lane. He looks healthier and happier. Gotta love that man.
so i paused at 24:59 and realized how honestly brave he is that everything he's telling are facts and how positively he put his thought's in words like yeah
17:00 I think that's the point when it comes to Ellie from iHeartRadio and her interviews with kpop idols because they looks more comfortable when she's mixing English and some Korean words. And also Zach you're doing great job because your questions are not like others interviewers, you really talking and listening to them and it looks more like a friends talking because they didn't seen each other for years haha
This is honestly the first time I watched/listened a more-than-an-hour interview. Without skipping. Without a pause. Eric Nam. He's THE dude. Love his voice. Love his accent. Love him.
47:50 the way he says "then i'm sexy i guess" WOW i never thought i could be more attracted to him than i already am but here i am alkdsjadkj this man is so educated and humble and wow
But eric said “not gonna look it up” why he said that? To diss-joke zach or he doesn’t want to see solar? I’m confused, someone explain their thoughts too pls
This has been the best 1hr and 16 minutes of my day...I love hearing him talk about his aspirations and his life and his values...it’s really so nice and interesting to listen to what he says...it’s really eye opening and perspective for me because u don’t get to hear artists talk for an hour straight about personal things...so thank you Zach for asking really good questions and being a great host
This is the first time I've seen Dan so involved omg. As expected of Eric Nam. Loved the interview, Zach!! Also thanks for mentioning the "your dog speaks chinese" meme hahahahah
Awesome interview! Love it. Respects to Eric especially talking about representation, speaking truth. Can you please get Tablo from Epik High onto this show? I'm sure you'll have a blast of a conversation with him I'd love it :)
You do not know how much respect I have for Zach(and Eric Nam), it's obvious that he is invested in the people he interviews and he genuinely listens to them. For me it's hard to find an interviewer that cared that much about who he was interviewing. Zach is one of the best interviewers out there and you can't change my mind.(also Eric Nam is a legend)
God this interview makes me appreciate him so much more. He’s super well spoken and so much more expressive in english though i love his korean side as well.
I love that Zach does his research and takes his time to actually learn about kpop artists. Like I know it's simple and you'd think everyone would do that. But he was the first interview to ask bts about their campaign to stop violence and the way he did research about Eric is amazing. Reasons why Zach is one of my favorite interviewers
@Channy Whocares oh thanks for the clarification and yh i've watch day6 here so i was confused lmao. i will check jay park out as well then cos i've heard great things
Eric Nam is so talented and awesome! I love being able to see ppl like Eric, Amber, and Tiffany's less filtered sides. Especially Tiffany and Amber cuz they were in idol groups
1:07:07 and you are shaping up to be, Zach. You literally put in so much research and humanity to your questions. You don’t prejudge your guests and are open to them and willing to give them the quality time of Day, even when others are only willing to speak superficially. So you will go down in history as one of the greatest in what you do :)
Eric when Zach mentioned about him on the show with Solar and told him Mamamoo was there and Zach was even on her vlog and Eric said he's going to look it up, has made my day!
Thank you so much for inviting Eric on your show. Hopefully, this interview can showcase the depths and complexities of this man; he's not just an amazing musician, but an awesome human being :)
I mean, he said he drops the things he isn't good at. It just so happened he was in his forte/element with interviewing. Come on now, focus on what you can do to get better at what you're naturally attracted to instead of being salty.
Never fails to give the best interviews with Korean artists! Would loveeee to see you talk to some artists from the Korean R&B/Hip Hop scene too, totally different worlds! Thanks for the best content!!
I think he’s one of the best at speaking out of all the artists from the Korean music industry. The way he presents himself and explains things so clear it’s quite impressive. You can tell how genuine he is.
I’m back here after a month of binging all the Eric related content I could find... and I just gotta day I need more of this type of interviews apart from how much I love Eric’s voice I love how genuine this is, is more a conversation than an interview and I can’t get enough of it
I was in the middle of watching drama series “Encounter” and kept hearing this AWESOME voice singing “The Night”. Who is that? I literally stopped the drama and searched for the music...and who did I find as the vocalist? Eric Nam. What a beautiful, soulful captivating voice. Awesome! You have a brand new fan here from New Jersey. I will be following you for more music. Nice job with the interviewing and hosting too. The whole package. Keep doing you Eric.
I think this interview clearly shows who he is: an amazing and intelligent person who deserved became famous with a lot of commitment and dedication. He is so humble that is impossible not to love him, because you can relate a lot. I love him and i am just sorry for myself for discovering him not so long ago. I hope he can come again to Italy so i can see him in person, but on the other hand I hope he can take the well deserved rest that he need. I wish him all the best for his new enter in the market of the states
I'm from Atlanta Georgia and we all know who Eric Nam is and we do not group him in as specifically a Kpop idol.. because he's right when people in this area think of Kpop they think of 15 people with purple hair dancing on a stage and he doesn't fit that genre..and no one in the part of Atlanta I'm from is of from an Asian or Korean background they're all different ethnic groups white hispanic black and we still all know who he is and love him.. he's his own musical Talent whether you're looking at it from an American perspective or Korean perspective...on a side note.... he if he ever wanted to start selling like t-shirts with the logo your dog speaks Chinese on it they would sell out in maybe a few minutes in this area it would be an awesome idea
.He's speaking F A C T S and I love that at least one of the idols are able and willing to bring this up, when there's no munch talk about the L A C K of representation of Asian in America.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌵
Would love to see Amber Liu on the show! She's definitely got a lot of insights and things to share, about music, kpop, sexuality, mental health, and so on.
Zack KNOWS how to interview. I wish every kpop idol gets to have an interview with him💜 also this guy is so freaking cool! He has lot of insight. I didn't know who Eric was but I definitely want to check him out now!
Zach is such a genuine interviewer. The way he asks questions in such a comfortable way, then listens to the answer so thoroughly and critically, it's just so endearing and professional, because as i have seen many interviews in states are not quite comfortable for asian artists, like the questions and stuff, but this man is so talented and honestly respectful that i just enjoy watching every episode even if i don't know the guest. Thumbs up to you man! Keep up the cool work!
I'm sure he would love to talk about his recent releases, he was a guest on Entertainment Weekly in Korea and they didn't let him talk about his new song I Luv U :(
21:59 i really liked what eric said right here, i think it really shows how different our cultures are and how we value different things. it's cool how he got to experience everything and has a unique way of balancing both sides of himself, and i think that somewhat ties into how a lot of asian families push you to be more well rounded and the difference from other people. of course it's not a bad thing to just stick to something, but i think that's one more reason why most asians don't give up when you say you don't want to do something, because even though you may not like it, it's good for you and it makes you a more talented person and it really grabs the roots of korean culture and shows how unique it is. idk i just think eric is really well spoken and i love him
Mate Eric just speaks so freaking well. I know he’s American and all but living in Korea for 7-8 years and still being able to preserve that vocabulary..man props!!
@Channy Whocares that's the thing tho I am but I make a lot of typos when I'm excited and typing really fast 😔😭 and my friends tease me about it all the time when we text 😤😅

But eric said “not gonna look it up” why he said that? To diss-joke zach or he doesn’t want to see solar? I’m confused, someone explain their thoughts too pls
Eric: "I think of myself as soooo normal"
Zach: "...ok"
Eric is def sexy
This has been the best 1hr and 16 minutes of my day...I love hearing him talk about his aspirations and his life and his values...it’s really so nice and interesting to listen to what he says...it’s really eye opening and perspective for me because u don’t get to hear artists talk for an hour straight about personal things...so thank you Zach for asking really good questions and being a great host
That is so true I wish it was more like this
I love how honest this interview was/felt.
This is the first time I've seen Dan so involved omg. As expected of Eric Nam. Loved the interview, Zach!! Also thanks for mentioning the "your dog speaks chinese" meme hahahahah
Awesome interview! Love it. Respects to Eric especially talking about representation, speaking truth.
Can you please get Tablo from Epik High onto this show? I'm sure you'll have a blast of a conversation with him I'd love it :)
MidnightEkaki oh my gosh tablo plz
Damn Zach.. Let's go to Seoul and make a career there with Eric, Jimin and Alec!
I can listen to Eric talk anytime.
Btw can we bring Amber Liu into this show???
Also and AleXa should be on here as well
Liu*
You do not know how much respect I have for Zach(and Eric Nam), it's obvious that he is invested in the people he interviews and he genuinely listens to them. For me it's hard to find an interviewer that cared that much about who he was interviewing. Zach is one of the best interviewers out there and you can't change my mind.(also Eric Nam is a legend)
Jpark is gonna be in LA soon, should interview him 👏
God this interview makes me appreciate him so much more. He’s super well spoken and so much more expressive in english though i love his korean side as well.
I love that Zach does his research and takes his time to actually learn about kpop artists. Like I know it's simple and you'd think everyone would do that. But he was the first interview to ask bts about their campaign to stop violence and the way he did research about Eric is amazing. Reasons why Zach is one of my favorite interviewers
i can't believe i've watched the whole thing without getting bored eric is just sooo well spoken
Imagine Zach has jay park for an interview
i want the whole aomg crew
as in jae park from day6? sorry i always hear this guy's name and i'm confused if they r the same person!
@@user-yk5tc5mz8c nah not the same person :)
@Channy Whocares oh thanks for the clarification and yh i've watch day6 here so i was confused lmao. i will check jay park out as well then cos i've heard great things
It would be a whole mess
Eric Nam is so talented and awesome! I love being able to see ppl like Eric, Amber, and Tiffany's less filtered sides. Especially Tiffany and Amber cuz they were in idol groups
1:07:07 and you are shaping up to be, Zach. You literally put in so much research and humanity to your questions. You don’t prejudge your guests and are open to them and willing to give them the quality time of
Day, even when others are only willing to speak superficially. So you will go down in history as one of the greatest in what you do :)
Denise Cee right when i read this comment, i immediately checked the time and guess what? it was exactly that part of interview haha
Eric when Zach mentioned about him on the show with Solar and told him Mamamoo was there and Zach was even on her vlog and Eric said he's going to look it up, has made my day!
i want to see tablo on this show
Hell yeh
"ERIC NAM, YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN !
Thank you so much for inviting Eric on your show. Hopefully, this interview can showcase the depths and complexities of this man; he's not just an amazing musician, but an awesome human being :)
Omfg i have been waiting for zack to interview eric nam🥵🥵 came as soon as I got the notification
Yes in Australia when I get home my dog greets me with “gday mate”
eric: it just so happened that i was TOO GOOD at all these other things that it overshadowed these things
me, feeling bitter: wow that's terrible
I mean, he said he drops the things he isn't good at. It just so happened he was in his forte/element with interviewing. Come on now, focus on what you can do to get better at what you're naturally attracted to instead of being salty.
People are being called out for honesty now...WOW.
i’m def attracted to this man. his mind!!! he’s attractive to me physically but his mind makes him more attractive to me
Never fails to give the best interviews with Korean artists! Would loveeee to see you talk to some artists from the Korean R&B/Hip Hop scene too, totally different worlds! Thanks for the best content!!
That would be really cool to see him do it with Jay park and possibly some rock and punk in there as well
I think he’s one of the best at speaking out of all the artists from the Korean music industry. The way he presents himself and explains things so clear it’s quite impressive. You can tell how genuine he is.
I’m back here after a month of binging all the Eric related content I could find... and I just gotta day I need more of this type of interviews apart from how much I love Eric’s voice I love how genuine this is, is more a conversation than an interview and I can’t get enough of it
There’s a lot of artists I’d like to see Zach interview. But Tablo, the whole AOMG lol, or just Jay Park are on the top of that list.
omg yes tabloo
I was in the middle of watching drama series “Encounter” and kept hearing this AWESOME voice singing “The Night”. Who is that? I literally stopped the drama and searched for the music...and who did I find as the vocalist? Eric Nam. What a beautiful, soulful captivating voice. Awesome! You have a brand new fan here from New Jersey. I will be following you for more music. Nice job with the interviewing and hosting too. The whole package. Keep doing you Eric.
47:16 my mind just went to that clip of that one bts interview where someone (I don't remember who) said to RM "I love your sexy brain"
Same 😂 and I think it was Jin
is he the guy that did that show with solar from mamamoo?
The "we got married" show? yeah it's him
Yeah. I started getting into Mamamoo cuz of him after watching that show and now they're my fav girl group
*He will be wet.*
@@meralys21 same here 😎
We got married eps 316 until eps 348
I think this interview clearly shows who he is: an amazing and intelligent person who deserved became famous with a lot of commitment and dedication. He is so humble that is impossible not to love him, because you can relate a lot. I love him and i am just sorry for myself for discovering him not so long ago. I hope he can come again to Italy so i can see him in person, but on the other hand I hope he can take the well deserved rest that he need. I wish him all the best for his new enter in the market of the states
I love listen to Eric Nam he is so cool
He's really smart, funny and handsome.
I'm from Atlanta Georgia and we all know who Eric Nam is and we do not group him in as specifically a Kpop idol.. because he's right when people in this area think of Kpop they think of 15 people with purple hair dancing on a stage and he doesn't fit that genre..and no one in the part of Atlanta I'm from is of from an Asian or Korean background they're all different ethnic groups white hispanic black and we still all know who he is and love him.. he's his own musical Talent whether you're looking at it from an American perspective or Korean perspective...on a side note....
he if he ever wanted to start selling like t-shirts with the logo your dog speaks Chinese on it they would sell out in maybe a few minutes in this area it would be an awesome idea
.He's speaking F A C T S and I love that at least one of the idols are able and willing to bring this up, when there's no munch talk about the L A C K of representation of Asian in America.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌵
Would love to see Amber Liu on the show! She's definitely got a lot of insights and things to share, about music, kpop, sexuality, mental health, and so on.
This is one of the best interviews I 've ever seen. It's a real conversation I love it
I’m rewatching this for like the 3rd time and omg I’m fangirling so hard bout how Dan is complementing Eric so much! 😊
Zack KNOWS how to interview. I wish every kpop idol gets to have an interview with him💜 also this guy is so freaking cool! He has lot of insight. I didn't know who Eric was but I definitely want to check him out now!
Zach is such a genuine interviewer. The way he asks questions in such a comfortable way, then listens to the answer so thoroughly and critically, it's just so endearing and professional, because as i have seen many interviews in states are not quite comfortable for asian artists, like the questions and stuff, but this man is so talented and honestly respectful that i just enjoy watching every episode even if i don't know the guest. Thumbs up to you man! Keep up the cool work!
26:33 part about solar haha 😊
thank uuu
Thankyouu
Thanks
Thank You Zach Sang for this! Please have Henry Lau next 😁
Woow amazing suggestion!!
I'm sure he would love to talk about his recent releases, he was a guest on Entertainment Weekly in Korea and they didn't let him talk about his new song I Luv U :(
Damn! This interview, and talk with him is so good. His very intellectual and well rounded.
I love listening to Eric!!
21:59 i really liked what eric said right here, i think it really shows how different our cultures are and how we value different things. it's cool how he got to experience everything and has a unique way of balancing both sides of himself, and i think that somewhat ties into how a lot of asian families push you to be more well rounded and the difference from other people. of course it's not a bad thing to just stick to something, but i think that's one more reason why most asians don't give up when you say you don't want to do something, because even though you may not like it, it's good for you and it makes you a more talented person and it really grabs the roots of korean culture and shows how unique it is. idk i just think eric is really well spoken and i love him
Eric Nam is so great where have I BEEN
I keep coming back to interview every couple months just love him and all his answers
I could listen to Eric Nam speak all day. He’s such an inspiring artist 😍. He’s so well spoken and educated.
Eric!!💙 Zach is my fave interviewer especially for Kpop. He really listens and actually intrested in the Artists craft and stories. He is genuine
Mate Eric just speaks so freaking well. I know he’s American and all but living in Korea for 7-8 years and still being able to preserve that vocabulary..man props!!
Zach mention that he’s in Solar YT and just look at Eric reaction 26:35 he just look so bright and shine
Zack is such a good interviewer husband kpop daebak show should collab and do some type of mega interview
Lol wtf did I type😅 him* not husband 🤦🏽♀️
@Channy Whocares him*😭😭😭
@Channy Whocares that's the thing tho I am but I make a lot of typos when I'm excited and typing really fast 😔😭 and my friends tease me about it all the time when we text 😤😅
Zach has blessed us with great interviews with kpop artists, I need henry or jessi,too,now.
확실히 에릭남은 한국어를 쓸 때와 영어를 쓸 때 성격이 달라지는 것 같네 영어 쓸 때가 더 성격이 와일드하고 강함이 느껴진다 이번 인터뷰는 진짜 솔직하게 하고 싶은 말 시원하게 다 하는 느낌?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ데뷔하고 나서 소속사에서 음악 말고 방송만 시켰을때 심정도 알게됐고 에릭남은 인터뷰어말고 진짜 자신의 음악을 하고 싶어했던거였어ㅠㅠㅠ 미국에서도 아시안 아티스트의 영역을 넓히려는 포부 응원합니다,,,화이팅,,
I love how Eric is 1000% honest with what he is saying and he means it.
my favourite artist 💕
you are a great singer Eric
So in love with Eric's voice when he speaks 🥰
I love zach got eric nam. easy to talk to and im sure i got a deep dive interview 💜 perfect sync to their conversation
