On the 2020/10/26 (Mon) broadcast of the radio program “IZ*ONE Honda Hitomi’s World Get You” (broadcast every Monday from around 16:25 for 10 minutes / B･E･A･T) on RADIO BERRY FM Tochigi.
Honda Hitomi: Well, starting this month, I’ve been doing Korean lessons, so if there’s any Korean phrases that you think are good to remember, please let me know.
Chaeyoung: Hmm. At the high-five event, Japanese fans asked me, “What Korean phrases should we remember?” and every time I said that, I said “Kunyan (그냥).”
Honda Hitomi: Oh, kunyan. What should I say? In Japanese.
Or just. Just. I guess. Somehow, kunyan, well, you can use anything.
Chaeyoung: Yes. That’s right.
Honda Hitomi: I guess it means just.
Chaeyoung: It’s kind of vague.
Honda Hitomi: Yeah yeah yeah.
Chaeyoung: So, kunyangbohaesoyo (Korean).
Honda Hitomi: Ah, I just did something. Or something.
Yeah, you could use it for pretty much anything. It’s definitely useful to remember.
Chaeyoung: When you don’t know if something tastes good or not, when you’re not sure, you say kunyang. That’s right.
Honda Hitomi: I see, that’s true.
Kunyang can really be used in a variety of situations, so it might be a good idea for everyone to remember it. Wow.
I guess it’s best to ask a Korean for these kinds of tips.
Chaeyoung: Kunyang.
Honda Hitomi: Kunyang. So this week it’s kunyang, everyone, please remember it.
