Our first essentials are tech.

My tech essential is my iPad.

I have a keyboard case with it.

Yay!

I watch movies, shows, videos, read comics, books.

And sometimes I use it as a speaker in my hotel room.

I always see him using it on the plane.

Mm. Yeah, yeah.

He does everything with it, so.

Right now I'm watching 'The Incredibles.'

My favorite part is in 'Incredibles 2,'

it's when Violet blows water

out of her nose [laughs]. Mm.

[Waiter] Good evening everyone.

[Bob] Oh! Ew! [laughs]

They animated that very well. It was pretty funny, yeah.

I like my [speaks Korean].

[continues speaking Korean]

We listen to a bunch of stuff, um.

[speaking Korean]

Oh yeah.

I introduced him to this artist named Alice Longyu Gao.

I like her music.

Oh, these are comfortable.

They look nice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[speaking Korean]

Mines are light and comfortable [laughs].

[beep]

Mine is also earphones. I just bought this recently.

I'm not a collector,

but every time a new season comes out for these earphones,

I always get it and it translates for you.

The new ones that came out.

It actually translates for you.

Like they have German, French, English,

but I also always use my Air Pods on the plane.

Whenever I'm in the car,

I don't wanna like, listen to like outside noise.

I just put on my Air Pods and use the

noise canceling.

I just use it all the time. So it's my essential.

It's essential

because it has a lot of things I need

[beep]

besides my iPad right now. [unzips backpack]

I have my headphones, I have a MacBook,

I have a cap, alcohol tissue.

[Members laugh]

He's gonna pull out a house.

[Laughs]

Yeah, I have a lot of stuff. Yeah.

I have a lot of allergy pills

[Joshua] Mm.

because I'm allergic to everything

and it's Balenciaga.

There's supposed to be the logo right here,

but it got ripped off.

I've never seen anyone use a backpack

with this many zippers, like daily.

[speaking Korean]

Usually

I always have my backpack.

My essential is this necklace that I got

as a gift from Bumzu.

I actually went to Paris with him recently.

I saw him wearing this necklace

and I was like, Whoa, that necklace looks really nice.

I think it like, really fits my style.

So I was like, cool, cool.

And then on the last day he suddenly took this necklace off

and he gave it to me.

He was like, Yeah, I think it suits you better than me.

I was like, Bro, are you serious?

I thought he was kidding at first,

but then he was serious about giving it to me, so.

Yeah, it became my essential. I'm wearing it every day

from that time I went to Paris.

I went to Paris with him

'cause other than like the show I attended,

I had to record a song.

He actually directed like most

of the things that I recorded.

It's great 'cause I've known him,

we've known him for such a long time.

So it just feels like being with family, honestly.

[energetic music]

[beep]

My essential is my wallet.

My other wallet,

I haven't changed it in a very long time,

so I wanted to buy a new wallet.

I went shopping yesterday.

Actually, finally bought a new wallet,

so kind of excited.

I'm gonna carry around with me all the time.

There's a couple compartments

where you could put like your coins

and I like the overall design of it.

So this is my essential.

[Interviewer] What draws you to Chrome Hearts?

I dunno, it's like very simple,

but they have like a silver point on it

and it goes well with anything, I think.

[calm beat]

[beep]

[speaking Korean]

[energetic beat]

[beep]

[speaking Korean]

[energetic beat continues]

[beep]

This is my wallet.

It has three compartments for cards, you can put in at max,

like nine cards, I guess.

It's small.

Compact.

I found it on Instagram.

I just like the practicality of their design.

When you close it, the magnet,

[wallet shuts]

makes sure it's like, shut tight.

I've been using this for about half a year.

Yeah, it's nice.

[chill lofi]

[beep]

Lastly, it's our crew.

Obviously, we lean on each other

whenever we're going through a hard time,

we always talk to each other.

We cheer ourselves and each other up.

And we've been with each other for so long,

so I just feel like Yeah.

they're part of me.

Can't be without them.

[speaking Korean]

So we've been together,

the 13 of us have been together since 2013.

Long time.

We feel like, very closely knit together,

like very connected.

So I don't feel like he's like, in the performance team

or like, he's in the hip hop team.

I just feel like one team in general.

[speaking Korean]

Thanks for watching our 10 essentials

and hope to see you on tour.

See you. Yes.
