[Paradise (Korean ver.) / Song by NiziU/ Lyrics AKIRA, Bang Chan, and others/ Songwriters HAN, Bang Chan, and others] You will know soon enough. I am yours. I am kind hearted but resilient. The things that I could reach are... running away from me. But still I will stand by your side. I love you so much. I love you deep in my heart. Just for who you are. Paradise. I found a treasure there. You should know that, hear me. Everywhere I look around you're the one and only one. The world that I've been dreaming of. Let's take a step towards the paradise. [Leemujin Service] "Leemujin Service" offers the best live that you won't forget. We have Miihi from NiziU on our show today! It's so nice to have you on the show. Can you say hi to all the viewers out there? Hi, I am Miihi from NiziU. Thank you for having me. Great to meet you. I am glad to have you on "Leemujin Service". Thank you. I've heard the girl group "NiziU" is formed with Japanese members in Japanese music industry. Speaking of which, viewers of "Leemujin Service" might not have heard about the group. Can you speak more about the girl group "NiziU"? There was a reality-survival program called, "Nizi Project". NiziU is composed of nine members. - The group was formed through the reality-survival program!
- Exactly. Can you speak more about yourself? People have been giving me compliments on my cute look. [(agreeing)] [she will show off her cuteness throughout the show today] Do you have any cute skills that you can show us? A skill? Well... I can wink with my both eyes really fast. - Wink with your both eyes really fast?
- Yes, with my both eyes. Please show us! Well... I think I can do it too! Sorry, please continue. [(Please go ahead!)] [(Is he doing it right?)] [(applauding)] [(content)]
I did okay, right? I've heard NiziU is finally making a debut in Korea! - Congratulations!
- Thank you! That's amazing! Do you know the date? We are making a debut on October 30th. Do you have a specific reason for visiting "Leemujin Service", before making your debut in Korea? I was a fan of "Leemujin Service" and... I was grateful for the opportunity to sing on "Leemujin Service". - Have you been following up with "Leemujin Service"?
- Yes. What episode did you enjoy the most? Well... from all the episodes [(from the same JYP label)]
I checked out the episode of NMIXX ITZY, and Jihyo from TWICE. Wow, that's impressive. Then I am sure you are not so concerned today! No, my legs are shaking. You are sitting on the sofa! - I know you are nervous but you have to sing the first song live for us.
- Sure. What song did you get for us for your first stage? I will sing "One Last Time" by Ariana Grande. One Last Time! Since you are starting off with Ariana Grande's I am more intrigued! You must be an amazing singer! - I am so excited!
- Thank you! Miihi from NiziU will sing Ariana Grande's "One Last Time" live for us! [One Last Time / Song by Ariana Grande / Songwriters David Guetta, Savan Kotecha, and others] I was a liar, I gave into the fire. I know I should've fought it. At least I'm being honest. Feel like a failure. 'Cause I know that I failed you. I should've done you better. 'Cause you don't want a liar. And I know, and I know, and I know. She gives you everything. But, boy, I couldn't give it to you. And I know, and I know, and I know that you got everything. But I got nothing here without you. So one last time. I need to be the one who takes you home. One more time. I promise after that I'll let you go. Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart. All I really care is you wake up in my arms. One last time. I need to be the one who takes you home. I need to be the one who takes you home I don't deserve it
I know I don't deserve it But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it Can't you forgive me
At least just temporarily I know that this is my fault
I should have been more careful And I know and I know and I know
She gives you everything but boy I couldn't give it to you And I know and I know and I know
That you got everything but I got nothing here without you So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home One more time
I promise after that I'll let you go Baby I don't care if you got her in your heart All I really care is you wake up in my arms One last time I need to be the one who takes you home I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it Cause I don't want to be without you So one last time I need to be the one who takes you home One more time I promise after that I'll let you go Baby I don't care if you got her in your heart All I really care is you wake up in my arms One last time I need to be the one who takes you home One last time I need to be the one who takes you home The characteristic of singers who don't push the rhythm and stay on the beat is that they often get hasty the longer that they sing. But with Miihi, you never push the rhythm and you stay in check with the beat. I like that you don't sound impatient at all. - Thank you.
- I enjoyed the song very much. - I'd like to talk more about NiziU.
- Sure! How long has it been since NiziU debuted in Japan? We debuted on December 2, 2020! I heard that you ranked first on the Oricon Chart as soon as you debuted. Yes. - Congratulations.
- Thank you. What song was that? It was our debut song "Step and a Step". "Step on a Step?" "Step and a". "and a Step". Can you sing us a small part of the song? Step and a step [(With my own steps)] Step and a step [(Don't be nervous, keep going on your pace)] [(It's okay to go slow, it's okay to take a rest)] [(Be yourself, just the way you are now)] Just believe yourself What do the lyrics mean? Walk with your own steps. [(She's not reading this)] Don't be nervous, keep going on your pace. It's okay to go slow, it's okay to take a rest. Be yourself, just the way you are now. Just believe yourself. I think that's really refreshing. Thank you. But I heard that as soon as you debuted, you couldn't promote in Japan and you were drifting in Korea. What is the story behind that? We debuted in 2020. [(Everyone deeply relates to that)]
But as soon as debuted, the COVID situation became really severe. We couldn't meet our fans because of COVID. And that was a little disappointing. And you couldn't stay idle in Korea either. What kind of activities did you participate in? We practiced in Korea as well. We also promoted by appearing in Japanese broadcasts through relay broadcasting. It must've been very frustrating. What was the most difficult thing for you? We know that a lot of fans were supporting us. But it was sad that we couldn't feel that in real life. We wanted to see our fans as soon as possible. And we wanted to go on a real stage. There definitely is that emotion that you get from going on a stage. You ranked first as soon as you debuted, but you weren't able to feel that. It must've been disappointing. Disappointing? Disappointing. Disappointing. [Conclusion:]
Disappointing. [Lee Mu-jin (22 years old) / Speaks zero languages] I heard that you have a lot of Korean fans. People keep saying that your Korean name is "Kim Mi-hee". Do you approve that name? Um... Yes. - You approve that name?
- Yes. Who gave you the name "Kim Mi-hee"? [(Reading the room)] Did the fans come up with it together? My company's staffs named it. [(That staff is here coincidently)] [(Mute laughing)] I thought your fans named it. Also! I heard this from another place people say "When you see MIIHI, you think of NAYEON of TWICE."? There are an specific clever aura that NAYEON has. I can see that aura from you as well! Thank you. Since we talk about NAYEON I think the connection with TWICE is quite deep. Actually you said, "I became a singer because of TWICE!" What does that story about? I went to the TWICE concert in Japan and JYP cast me, so I had an audition and entered. You cast when you went to watch the TWICE concert! Yes! Did you have an audition separately? What song did you sing in the audition? I sang "Be as ONE" by TWICE at that time as well. Please sing it. Okay! [Be as ONE - TWICE] [Because you were there] [I came on foot without hesitation] [I'm not afraid of the never-reducing sadness if we hope hand in hand] [Let's lay on one heart Be as ONE] Did you like this song the most? Yes. I really liked this song when I went to the concert where I got cast, and I love ballad songs, as well. Then let's listen to the second live service! What song did you prepare? I prepared "Give You My Heart" by IU. Alright! I think we can listen to MIIHI's emotional vocal in Korean version. I'll look forward to it. Yes! MIIHI's second live service, "Give You My Heart" by IU. [Give You My Heart - IU] I don't have anything for you I give you my heart I have received many things from you but I can't express it all on a low profile I want you to know how many hearts I have If I give it to you Will you know a little bit of my heart You met me for some reasons and love You came to me for some reasons and were with me I wish on the happy days and on the rough days Next to you on all of those days May I be with you More than any news I'm waiting for you so badly To not be crossed I'll wait for you In a letter written by pressing I put a lot of yearnings When you come to me I put that in your palm You met me for some reasons and love You came to me for some reasons and were with me I wish on the happy days and on the rough days Next to you on all of those days May I be with you I hope I can be there In all of the four seasons And in each of the twelve months, with you Everyday to the point I am out of breath I will be with you, loving you We met for some reason And we loved each other Just like this moment I hope we do our best while looking at each other every day Please, on happy days And on the days we are tired of living Through all of that, I hope I can be next to you Please I hope it won't be only the memories that remain, with you You know there's a saying "the ability of lyrics delivery". Yes! They say that delivering the song lyrics is something that "touches other people's hearts" but to be honest, in the perspective of the person who is singing I think it's only possible when you sing solely based on theory so I don't like that saying itself. But I felt like "She delivers the lyrics really good!" while listening to a Japanese singer sing a Korean song. So it was an amazing experience for me. It was impressive! I definitely wanted to say it was a good live. Thank you! Is there a reason why you chose this song? Because I like Korean dramas. This song was the OST of the drama "Crash Landing on You" This song came up in a moment that was just right so I also cried when I was listening to this song. I wanted to express that kind of emotion... [(Flapping)] [(I wanted to express the sad feeling when I heard this song)] [(Apart from the reason for the chosen song)]
I think your voice is really full of emotions. And I heard that there was a video that got more than 3 million views with those emotions. What video was it? People liked a lot the video in which I sang the song "Snow Flower". I heard that you sang it in the "Nizi Project". Yes! That's right. You know that song is a famous song in Korea as well, right? Yes! Have you also sung that song in Korean before, by any chance? Yes! Where did you sing it? Last year, at a Korean concert... Was it when you did a concert in Korea? Yes! Then! If you don't mind me asking can you sing it in more length than when you sang it that time? Yes. Thank you. [Snow Flower - PARK HYO SHIN] In the snow flowers that fill the streets That falls down endlessly and covers us In your heart and mine, little by little It draws a little memory You are always by my side Since I've heard you sing a Korean song I'm curious about something! Which singer do you like the most among Korean singers? Or do you have any Korean songs that you are into these days? TWICE and STRAY KIDS senior artists from my company. Senior artists from the company JYP! You don't have to be so cautious. - This isn't a bad mention of them either.
- No. Then do you have a role model idol in Korea? TWICE. I think TWICE will think you're very cute when they will see this. I think they will be proud! Because they've become someone's object of aspiring. Your Korean debut is around the corner! I think you might be both nervous and excited. Is there something that you want to say to Korean fans who are going to meet NiziU soon? Thank you so much for waiting so long until now. We are going to work hard to show new sides of us. So I hope you look forward to our performances. Great. Please look forward to it a lot! Please take good care of them. Okay! Now it's time to do our last service that we prepared together. Yes! What song is it? Yes! "All For You" that is sung by SEO INGUK and JEONG EUNJI. How did you get to know this song? I like watching Korean dramas, like I said. Since I got the chance to do a duet, I looked for something a little bit [(from the drama "Reply 1997" OST)]
I love this song so much that I wanted to perform it with you, Mu Jin. That's right. This song, "All For You," holds a legendary status among Korean OSTs. It's one of the most iconic duets in Korea so I wanted to say it was an excellent choice. Thank you. This is our last duet service. Here's "All For You" by Seo In Guk and Jung Eun Ji, performed as a duet service by MIIHI and myself. [All For You - Seo In Guk, Jung Eun Ji] All for you It's been several days since you called Do you know that my birthday is coming up soon? Time is insensitive, it keeps on passing In worry, not in spite I went to the entrance of your street, it wasn't planned Unexpectedly, there you stood, smiling and greeting me To be honest I've pondered deep I can't give you anything Though I may fall short, with empty hands Will you accept me as I am? For you Only for you I might not be able to give you the world but I will promise only to you I will be someone who's only for you Is only for you Just wanna be for you You just need to stay By my side just as you are now Even if I'm born again I will look at only you forever You might not know but it was hard Wondering if I'm the right person for you Even if I’m not the one and it's someone else I want to let go of those feelings now For you Only for you I might not be able to give you the world but I will promise only to you I will be someone who's only for you Is only for you Just wanna be for you You just need to stay By my side just as you are Even if I'm born again I will look at only you forever Love in my small heart Oh love I want to fill it with your scent So even if I'm trapped inside forever I can be happy For you Only for you I might not be able to give you the world but I will promise only to you I will be someone who's only for you Is only for you Just wanna be for you You just need to stay By my side just as you are Even if I'm born again I will look at only you forever
