Chaos!

Copacabana?

I'm making it at the center of it all — are two guys from the Sydney suburbsResidential areas on the outskirts of a city. — and now they're playing stadiums.

What do you say?

Before you go on stage, usually uh, we like huddle up and then uh, we do like a traditional Korean um, like war cry.

Can we start that way?

We say 'Hwaiting!'

'Hwaiting!'

Yeah!

Yeah!

Is really good!

So when I go 'One, two, three!', we go 'Hwaiting!'

Hey, I love it!

Well, you both grew up here — is there anything that you've missedTo feel sad because you do not have someone or something with you anymore. about Australia?

I miss the environment — the environment, you know — like the trees, the beaches, the air.

Um, when I feel lonely — or I'm not lonely — like, when I feel homesickfeeling sad because you are away from your home and family, I sing, um, you know, the Qantas song 'I Still Call Australia Home'.

Yeah, it just gets me there!

Oh my goodness!

I feel like every time someone says that, you just like cry, right?
