00:00Let's put the two lesbians on the show. This lesbian couple in the best of points. Thank you.
00:08I'm Kaitlyn McDaniel with Gayity. It's so great to see you both.
00:12Gays. The gays. I love the gays. Me too.
00:17My favorite girlfriends right here. Look at us.
00:21I wanted to start just, you know, it's a new season at Kiss.
00:25So for your character, what class do you think is their favorite this semester?
00:30Oh. I feel like it might be obvious. Mine's definitely gonna be art class.
00:34She doesn't care about anything but the art.
00:38What is Yuri's favorite class? Maybe music.
00:41Music. Yeah. And that's definitely strong this semester too.
00:45We're gonna see a lot going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
00:49There's so much related to music this season.
00:52And I love the dynamic that we get to see more of this season between your two characters.
00:58But I wanted to ask you your first impressions of each other when you first met in real life.
01:03And how that's kind of changed as you've gotten to know each other now.
01:06I feel like my first impression of you tracks.
01:10Like I thought as soon as I met her, I was like a person that like is very light.
01:14Like very bright energy, very like sun energy.
01:19And I think even more now where I'm like, oh, this person is like the light of people's lives.
01:25So I'm like, I feel like it was like pretty accurate.
01:28I was like, she's so nice. She's so kind.
01:31Well, I had the exact same impression of her because we met at the hotel lobby, right?
01:35And we were already kind of in a group cast members and then Regan joined.
01:40And then she was just like, there's nothing like literally 0% bad vibe from a person.
01:48Sometimes you meet someone and you can like 70%, 30% maybe.
01:52But then there was like zero.
01:54She's just like pure and good.
01:56And she just walks in and she's like, as soon as she walks in, there's like no awkwardness,
02:02even though we all just met for the first time.
02:04And she was walking into a group, which can be intimidating,
02:07but she was just so like easy and so flowy with us that I was like,
02:11oh, this person is going to be great to work with.
02:14I was excited.
02:16I love that.
02:17And Regan, it's Juliana.
02:19She's coming into Kiss and she's kind of trying to find her place.
02:22So can you talk a little bit about how she's adjusting?
02:25Man, she was gone.
02:27She's back.
02:28I think she's trying her best.
02:30There are some things that get thrown in her world that she's probably not expecting.
02:37But she's navigating it the best she can.
02:40It's hard.
02:40You know, there's their kids.
02:42This is their first time doing everything.
02:44They have no reference point.
02:45So I think for her, sometimes she may slip up with certain things at Kiss,
02:50but other times she's like, I'm genuinely trying my best.
02:53But I'm happy she's back.
02:54I'm happy that she gets to be with all the friends and with everybody
02:58and be back in the mix.
03:00I think it's really cool.
03:02Absolutely.
03:02And I love, too, that we get to see more of this queer scene.
03:05There's a part where you can go out and see other people.
03:08So Gia, can you talk a little bit about how fun that was to film?
03:13Honestly, like we were talking about earlier,
03:16I think it's really special, especially having this,
03:20like shooting it in Korea as well.
03:23And I've said this throughout season one, too,
03:26but having a queer love line or love story be shown in such a big,
03:31globally acclaimed or accessible show on a major streaming platform
03:40and it's set in Korea, where I feel like still a lot more representation
03:46can be had a lot more in that space.
03:49I feel like it's very, very meaningful.
03:52And the fact that we were at an actual gay club in Korea
03:56shooting that as well was really meaningful, too, I think.
03:59That's amazing.
04:00Yeah.
04:00And just to close this off, I have to talk about the fashion
04:03because it's really amazing.
04:05I mean, I love your outfit even today,
04:06but could you both just talk a little bit about the fashion on the show?
04:10Oh, her outfits on the show?
04:13I want them all.
04:14Every time she would walk out, I was like,
04:16wait, okay, all right.
04:18You have such cool outfits for everything.
04:21I feel like this season, yeah, this season I was like,
04:23we're finding the groove.
04:24But like you from first season to second season,
04:27I'm like back to back to back.
04:29You're just, you walk out in like the best look.
04:31So I'm like, this is unfair.
04:33What?
04:34No, Juliana has the coolest looks
04:36because she's like the artist, you know?
04:38So they're always throwing all the funky stuff on her as well.
04:41I would say our couple on the show have the superior looks.
04:46Yes.
04:46We eat down.
04:47Oh, yeah.
04:47When they walk in, I'm like...
04:48And it tracks.
04:49Yeah.
04:49They're like, let's put the two lesbians on the show.
04:52This lesbian couple in the best stuff.
04:54I'm like, thank you.
04:56It's what they deserve.
