K-Pop's P1Harmony Take L.A.

About this video
It's hard enough becoming an international sensation in the best of times -- it's even harder during a pandemic lockdown, but that is exactly what K-pop boy band P1Harmony did! Now, the boys are in L.A. to celebrate the one-year anniversary of their debut with their first mini-album "Disharmony: Stand Out" and their hit single "Siren", and their visit includes a stop at the Young Hollywood Studio! Keeho, Theo, Jiung, Intak, Soul, and Jongseob tell us about their experience in L.A. so far, such as what they've bought while shopping and what they think of our style in comparison to South Korea, plus they explain the inspo behind their choreography. Then we play a game of "Who's Most Likely To" to find out which one of the boys is most likely to mess up the choreo, who takes the most selfies, and more! Stick around for their special message directly to their fans, the P1ece!

What is a stadium jacket? P1Harmony: Stadium jacket, like a baseball jacket. Yeah. Yeah. But he has, I think he has the most like, kind of memorable item. Yeah. I got fur jacket. Yeah.
Oh. Fur. Fur. P1Harmony: Yeah, he got a fur jacket. Yeah. And, and a jacket with ET. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's cool. ET. ET jacket. All right, yeah. P1Harmony: Yeah, and a lot of The printing is like like a painting of ET. Yeah. Amazing. It's pretty cool.
Cool. P1Harmony: And I got a like vest. Oh, uh, uh, yes, a vest. A vest. A vest.
What did you buy? P1Harmony: Shoes and jeans. Mmm. Shoes and jeans.
Quite a bit of shopping. Here, is the clothes here better, or are the clothes in Korea a bit better? P1Harmony: Um. The clothes here are better. Hmm. What should I say? It's the style of the clothes. Hmm. So he said like the the silhouette of the clothes here are a little more like I guess it fits his body type a little more. But, um, I think the clothes here and there are pretty similar. Like we have the same stuff, so. Yeah. Just kind of souvenir vibes. P1Harmony: God, honestly. Can I say correctly? Yeah. Uh, yeah. Uh, uh, what should I say when I'm dancing? Um, first, I tend to focus a lot on the feeling of the music. Like, the texture of the sound, or um, I tend to use moves that are trendy and commonly used in hip-hop these days. I think that's how I make dances. M-hm. Mmm. So he said when he makes a choreography for our music, or just in general, he said that, um, he kind of listens to the vibe of the song and tries to find the right, um, dance moves that fits the the the overall vibe of the song. And so he said like if it's like a hip-hop dance, then he like thinks of like a trendy hip-hop dance move that a lot of people use usually.
Can you show us? P1Harmony: Hmm. These days, he's going to show us a trendy hip-hop dance move. Yeah. And right now if if it's not trendy, you're going to look stupid. So, yeah. I think. I think. This day's like like what? Like, oh, we got up. Oh. Oh. It's too much. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Like, somehow. Like, you sit down for a bit, then stand up. That kind of feeling is used a lot. Oh. Like. Like this move. I don't know what its name is, but like. Yeah, we're going to do that. Okay. You really do that. The dust. Just something like this. The pillow. When I freestyle, I just do something like. Oh, I tend to use these a lot. Thank you.
Okay. How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? P1Harmony: Yeah. Um, I think, um, practice-wise, um, I mean, we're with each other like 24/7. Like we live in the same house. Like we go, you know, we always move together as a pack and stuff like that. So it's like I mean, we're constantly just practicing, I feel like. Whenever there's time. Whenever there's like a big performance ahead, or like, uh, our comeback, or something, we're always practicing. Like probably almost every single day. Mmm. For hours. Like three, four hours, five hours a day. Not every single day, but I dance sometimes when I want to when I got the feel. Yeah. When I got the vibe. Or right now, I got to dance right now. Then I used to. Yeah. Just He's like kind of like, it's weird cuz like it's he's not very open about it. Like he'll kind of go to a corner and like while everyone's like on the other side, will look and he's like. Yeah. Like. Oh my God. What's going on? So does he. Yeah, he does. Every day. He's actually weird. Because like, he has these huge headphones in. Yeah. He can't hear anyone's voice. He can't hear anyone's voice. He's like in his own world, and like, he just like kind of like. Yeah. I saw him even a few days ago. He was like, in the airport, he was like. Like just thinking like of constant like just new dances.
Can he show us actually? P1Harmony: Oh, so you mean like these kind of things? Oh, no way, no way. Oh, oh, oh. No, but imagine we're watching that with no music. Like he's the only one listening to music. So from like a third person's like perspective, we're kind of looking at him like. What? I don't know. Yeah. If there was music, then maybe we'd understand, but. That dance is too difficult. Even without music, I keep. He keeps doing his head like this. We actually had a dance studio before coming here, and he said that he caught him like just like feeling the music through his hair. Yeah. I don't know what it is. His dance moves are very unique and special and like. Artistic. Very artistic. It's something. It's like kind of like other worldly. P1Harmony: So you mean like these kind of things? Um, he said that, um, you know, K-pop is usually performed on stage. But I like the feeling of battles. So it's kind of like playing around. It's like this. What should I say? Like, can you show it? Ah. So it's like playing around with the other person. Yeah, that's right. And it's also a bit difficult to understand. Oh, okay. That's fun. Making the other person confused. Yeah, okay, okay. So he says, um, in K-pop dance, it's very like formatted and formulated and it's like, do this dance this way, and blah, blah, blah, blah. But, um, personally, his own taste, he really likes, um, like underground, like battle dance. Like dance battles. Like underground dance battles. And so he says that, um, in those kind of battles, they try to, um, confuse the opponent and try to like, make fun of the opponent and try to like, you know, I don't know, I guess, like make them kind of like lose focus and stuff like that. So like he always tries to make his dance moves as like confusing and kind of, um, almost funny in in some kind of way, and like, yeah, just very unique and confusing for other people to see.
What can you expect? P1Harmony: There's so much you can tell though. Like there's not much that we can tell. Thanks. Um, some songs. Love. What? I guess you could feel the love. For our second album. Yeah. Or, I mean, we hope. Everybody love for world. Yeah. For the fans. We'll see.
Oh, he's good. He's like media trained. P1Harmony: Okay. The title of the third album is my favorite song among all the albums I've released so far. Oh. So he said out of all the, 'cause we have two mini albums out right now. Uh-huh. But he says the main, the main leading single, um, this one that's going to come out in our third mini album is the is his favorite one so far. Like the best one that he likes the most.
From the third album, I don't need to tell you the title, but is there a song you like the most from the third album? P1Harmony: From the third album? Yeah. That's my favorite. That's the title song. He says the main leading single is his favorite out of the third mini album. And all of our songs, I think. Mm. Yeah. Oh. Um. What are you expecting? Like kind of songs. What? Don't think too much, because then we'll need to say other stuff. Okay. No, okay, go ahead. Yeah. More exciting. He said a lot more exciting. I think our fans will know what that means because, yeah. Go. Um, what is it? Our second album. Uh-huh. The dance, uh, uh, what should I do? Uh, uh, uh. You know, like this. Just say it, and I'll translate it differently. Easily. Can you do that? It's going to come out as is. This, you know, this, you know. Yeah. Like this feeling. Like this kind of thing, it's easy to follow. Oh, it seems like it'll be popular. It'll be a trendy dance. Yeah. It'll be a trendy dance. Oh, okay. Ah, I think I get. Um, he said that, um, he feels like the dance and choreo coming around this time. It feels like it's going to be a lot more catchier, and something easier on the eyes and for people to follow along and, you know, dance with us. M-hm. Gosh, he said like everything. I don't even know what to say anymore. I think that, um, this song, this album, and our main leading single that's going to be on that album, I feel like it's going to be the most catchiest. Mm. Out of all of the songs that we have out. It's going to be very catchy. I hope. I don't know. It might be just my own my own judgment, but I feel like, um, it's going to be very catchy and I feel like our fans will, you know, it'll stick to them very quickly. Oh. And hopefully stick for a very long time. Mm. You said everything already. I'm not going to say anything. Um, what I want to say is, uh, compared to the past choreographies that have been built up so far, um, instead of a flashy feeling, I think there's a lot of choreography elements that are more friendly and easy for people to approach. Uh-huh. Oh. Um, he said that it's kind of similar to what he said. Yeah. Like something that's easy to follow. Something that makes you want to follow.
Okay, so he said like in our first and second album, you know, visually looking at it, like especially with the choreo, it might seem hard to, you know, try to even follow or try to, you know, even like try to follow. But he feels like this time coming around, he feels like I think a lot of people might enjoy it more because it might be easier for them to follow and easier for them to see and, you know, get an idea of how to dance it and stuff like that. Yeah.
