Product placement

KPop Demon Hunters (a Netflix animated series) — it ACTS as the subject of the interview, with clips shown to demonstrate the singing performance of the guest. Removing it would change the entire topic of the video. Netflix (a streaming platform) — it merely APPEARS as a logo on screen during a clip. Removing it would not change the video.

Transcript

What was the most difficult song to sing? Oh Your Idol. I think towards the end there's like a note that I've never hit before until then. Are you talking about the can I get the mic a little higher that part? That one? After that, no one is coming to save you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was like an E or something. Crazy. I have no idea to this day how I hit it. That was like an act of God and I don't think I'll ever be able to hit that again. What was it like recording Your Idol? The whole recording process is a bit of a blur because it happened so quickly and it took them a while to cast the Saja Boys and they finally had them and now they gotta quickly go into recording. So we had to record all the songs in two 8-hour sessions, but I don't even think we used up all 16 hours. For people who don't know and also me because I don't know, how long do you think it would normally take to record songs like that? I think it depends on the artist. That's a good point. I certainly thought it would take longer. Yeah. Cause you had, isn't it 3 songs? Mhm. Was everyone recording? Cause I heard stories about like you were in the studio when EJ was recording Free and her verse. Then you had to go after her? Yeah. So everyone had different slots. So when she was wrapping up, I was.
