Translations:~

MC: You’ve collaborated with BIGBANG SOL before right?

Thelma: SOL was the first overseas artist that I collaborated with. Artists in Korea are very stoic [disciplined]. They have a strong sense of professionalism. On the MV set, he kept on practicing and singing.

MC: Very devoted. What is the real (face) of SOL like?

Thelma: We filmed an MV together. That was the first time we spent a long time together. SOL is so shy.

MC: Yes?

Thelma: He is a shy boy so if we leave him alone, he is like this (she pretends to be SOL at 0:45)

MC: Really?

Thelma: But when we talk with staff saying things like – yeah! [acts like someone having fun)] , he can enjoy saying/acting like …. So if we talk to him, he would be very pleased.

MC: I see - a little bit like me.

Thelma: Really?

MC: Yes, if nobody talks to me, I am all quiet.

Thelma: Kidding?

MC: I think I’m lying (laughs.) What is the charm of Bigbang?

Thelma: The charm? Each member has their own position [role]. G-dragon has leadership. Like at rehearsal, he has the ability to put the group together as leader. Top(‘s ) is Rap. Sol(‘s) is Dance and Singing. D-lite(‘s) is singing and he does MC too. VI(‘s) is talk show and he does solo too. Everybody is multi-talented.

MC: Did you actually did meet all of them?

Thelma: I have, I have. A couple of times.

MC: Really? Where did you meet them?

Thelma: At the concert and we went out and had a meal together.

MC: You guys are that close.

Thelma: Yeah.

MC: The friendship is deep!!

Thelma: (waving hand and shy)

MC: You!! Wow!

Thelma: Wow! (laughs)

MC: Please watch the clip BIG BANG!!(Concert clip of Big Bang performing “Tonight” ,”Beautiful Hangover”, “Hands Up”)

MC: That was the BigBang concert clip! How was it?

Thelma: I went to the one at Makuhari.

MC: You saw this?

Thelma: Yeah, yeah. Very powerful live.

MC: That’s right. And this (waving hand like “Tonight” performance). This hand move is so cool. I want to use it somehow from now on…

Thelma: Where? (laughs)

MC: OK now please watch the MV of Thelma where she collaborated with SOL. What is the highlight of the MV?

Thelma: The stage has front side and back side. And it’s turning around. There were quite a lot of complaints that it made them dizzy. And I thought - I have done it(laughs) But it’s a good MV so please watch! Thelma Aoyama and BigBang SOL - Fall in Love!~>
