I like playing at the playground with my friends the most Like cops and robbers It’s the same all around the world We kind of go to other places For example, if there is a toy shop, we go in and look around Am I right? If I see -a restaurant that I like...
-Let’s have that! Like this Then what do you do with your friends in Thailand, Ten? When I was your age… Oh, I am your age When I was young~ We just played… baseball or volleyball?

Yeah, we had TV You guys have really thin TVs but I didn’t have thin TVs Then, were they thick? Really thick the think screens It was this thick Then even… even if you see it from afar because it’s thick you can see it up close Yeah, yeah? In elementary school or middle school, the grass covers the whole yard so we played football and a lot of basketball We really liked playing outdoors My school was next to the river So after school we rode the boats -That must have been really nice

Okay, I got it (Mom) He is a singer I didn't know! I can't believe it until now It's all good Can I get your autograph?
That was such a sweet interview. The girls asked good questions, makes you think about your own childhood. The girls reaction when she found out who Johnny is.
Little boys: You had a tv??
Yuta: suddenly feels like a dinosaur uh- yeah...
Yuta has such a good way of handling children, it’s really a sight to see. He was in the most difficult position here considering that the kids assigned to him were younger and therefore didn’t ask as many questions or keep the conversation going like the older ones, but he still managed to keep a good atmosphere and act like an older brother to those boys.
I especially loved that segment where the boys gave him the globe and he said the sweetest words, telling them to travel around the world when they’re adults so that they can get in touch with different cultures. He’s incredibly thoughtful and wonderful overall.
cut to me, saving this video for anyone who says that Yuta and Johnny are 'filler members'
What a lovely thoughtful interview from these kids, they're all cute but that girl and Johnny had a great dynamic.
I don’t really know much about NCT beyond the fact that they’re a k pop group. But dang, this made them seem so endearing. I loved this little interview. Wish it was longer!
When Yuta said he teleported, he did the gesture Goku uses to teleport in DBZ.
i love nct they’re such nice boys <3
When Yuta entered and the boy said how cool he looks... same
That was really nice to watch -Ten's smile is so bright and Johnny was very polite. That girl's reaction though 🤣
