00:00Just hold one second.
00:03I think that's like, what, Porsche GT3 RS?
00:06Is that?
00:07No, I'm just kidding.
00:11Not Ferrari for sure.
00:13Hi, Team Vogue.
00:16This is Lisa.
00:17And I'm Tame.
00:19And this is some of our firsts.
00:22Oh, wow.
00:25You can go first.
00:29Actually, I was nervous to see Tame for the first time because he's gonna be a guide dog
00:35and I'm gonna have a scene with him a lot.
00:39He's like this all the time.
00:40He's like a smiley guy.
00:42So yeah, I really like your first impression.
00:48I was very struck.
00:50Saw her walk in and she looked beautiful in her white dress and she broke the ice with
00:56me so well because I was actually pretty stiff and I don't know if I should shake your hand
01:01or do this.
01:02And she's like, yeah, let's get a drink and talk.
01:06And that was great.
01:07She was so friendly and bubbly and I had fun.
01:13Yeah, you're welcome.
01:14I think it was, we're same, no?
01:16Yeah.
01:17It was the first.
01:18Yeah.
01:19It was amazing.
01:20I mean, from my point of view, I got to meet Jason, Isaac, Walden Goggins, all these amazing
01:26actors that I've watched in films growing up.
01:30And then, you know, obviously meeting Lisa and she made quite an entrance that night.
01:35We can skip that part.
01:36Okay.
01:37Yeah.
01:38I had a scene with Walden and Amy.
01:40That was my first.
01:41I was so nervous.
01:42I don't know what I have to do and have to expect, but I mean, everybody's helping me
01:47out.
01:48So yeah, I'm really thankful to them.
01:52Yeah.
01:53That was my first day on set.
01:55It was a night scene.
01:57I love night scenes.
01:58You know, you get to sleep all day and then wake up late and go to work.
02:03That was the first time I got to really see everyone at work and see how Mike works with
02:11everyone on set, all the way from the actors to all the crew.
02:14That's when I really got the scale of things of how great this production is.
02:19It was 2016 when I first debuted as Zivert.
02:22Nice.
02:23I don't really feel famous yet.
02:26Oh, stop it, Tay.
02:29Well, you know, it's- Right now.
02:32Right now.
02:33Right now.
02:34Doing this with Teen Vogue.
02:36Actually today.
02:37It started from today, you know, like when the junket started, it kind of hit me and
02:43I actually really enjoy this.
02:45I'm enjoying doing all of this.
02:46So yeah.
02:49Oh, I think I was like a baby actress.
02:54Oh, really?
02:55What do you call?
02:56It's just like a cameo, like me just like a little kid on set walking around, dancing
03:01around.
03:02So I think that was like my first time that I saw myself on screen.
03:07I did my first movie in 2014 called Skin Trade and that's the first time I saw myself on
03:14screen.
03:15Ooh.
03:16Yeah.
03:17I think it was sneakers, a pair of sneakers or something.
03:20It was not that big money.
03:22So it's just like a-
03:23Yeah.
03:24Just for like, like sweets.
03:25It's like a pocket money.
03:26Pocket money for like snacks.
03:27Yeah, I was 16.
03:28And yeah, first paycheck.
03:29It's just in my household.
03:30We always say that first paycheck, we take our parents out for a little meal.
03:31Oh, wow.
03:32Oh, that's so sweet.
03:33So I remember taking them out for a Greek dinner.
03:34Wow.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Yeah.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Yeah.
03:45It was grilled chicken and som tam.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Oh.
03:54First menu.
03:55Yes.
03:56Yeah.
03:57Som tam and gai yang.
03:58Gai yang.
03:59Oh, gai yang.
04:00Yeah.
04:01It sounds good.
04:02For me, yam mamuang.
04:03It's like a green mango salad.
04:04Oh, with a sticky rice.
04:05It's really good.
04:06I'm hungry.
04:07Me too.
04:08I don't remember.
04:09But recently, I'm so into the Pop Mart thing.
04:15So I would say the first collection of the Pop Mart is Laboubou.
04:19It's like one of the Laboubou collection.
04:22You made that blow up.
04:23Laboubou is my baby.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Oh, that's a great question.
04:26It's a black pink.
04:27It was actually...
04:28You never heard of it?
04:29No, no.
04:30I have definitely.
04:31I'm just trying to think which was the first.
04:32I don't remember.
04:33I don't remember.
04:34I don't remember.
04:35I don't remember.
04:36I don't remember.
04:37I don't remember.
04:39I think the first time I really focused, I mean, I definitely heard it passing by when
04:43they first debuted.
04:44But I never really sat and watched something until my daughter.
04:49I remember when I came home, she had Pink Venom on YouTube on the screen.
04:57And that's when I actually sat and watched and I was like, wow, these guys are good.
05:01Oh, thank you.
05:03I know for Ed Sheeran...
05:07Photograph.
05:08Photograph.
05:09Yeah.
05:10It's like the first thing that he has to sing.
05:13Yeah, it was the first thing I sang at the White Lotus karaoke party.
05:18We did a lot more songs after that.
05:21Yeah.
05:22For me, I'll go for Taylor Swift, You Belong With Me.
05:28Oh, actually the White Lotus.
05:31I was stressed, to be honest, to watch myself.
05:34But when I see Tame, I'm kind of like, relaxed.
05:37I don't want to hurt anyone.
05:38I want to grow up.
05:40I have a lot of work to do.
05:42I was like, oh my god, he did so great.
05:44Oh, thank you.
05:45Yeah.
05:46And likewise.
05:47Likewise.
05:48You did amazing.
05:49I think in Skin Trade, my first ever movie back in 2014, I never used the stuntman ever.
05:57I always made a point that I want to at least try first.
06:01And if I can't do it...
06:02Really?
06:03Even though it's risky?
06:05So far, there hasn't been anything like, you know, not like jumping across buildings yet.
06:09But so, you know, just like, you know, just a lot of running and jumping downstairs and
06:14stuff like that.
06:15I like to do all that.
06:19So shy to answer.
06:20I love Big Bang.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Big Bang.
06:24I can't pick one because I love them all.
06:26Nice.
06:27Honestly, throughout the weeks, I'm kind of glad to say that I was never in that elimination
06:35spot.
06:36I think I did quite well in that season.
06:39I was never called up to the front of the stage to sort of stand just two people and
06:44like...
06:45And then drop one.
06:46Yeah.
06:47So I was very lucky not to go through that.
06:48I think after I debuted with Blackpink, and then we all went to Thailand for like a trip
06:55or something to shoot or something.
07:00We had like a fan waiting for us at the airport.
07:03Oh, yeah.
07:04I was like, oh, wow.
07:08They love us.
07:09They knew who we are.
07:12Not on the scale of Lisa, but after I finished from Academy Vantage's season 10, as soon
07:19as we finished, we were on like one of the front page on the Thai news.
07:25When I was in a mall having dinner, someone at the table next to me did recognize me and
07:30asked for a picture.
07:31So that was a cool little like, oh, wow, like you said, oh, wow, you know who I am.
07:37That's cool.
07:38I get very critical of myself.
07:40Yeah.
07:41First time watching, I'd always...
07:42Did I say that like well enough or did I hit that rhythm?
07:46You know, like, you know, very critical, but I would always watch it one time and watch
07:51it again.
07:52And the second time, it always feels like, oh, actually, I did all right.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Same, same.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Actually, I couldn't watch myself.
08:00I was like, have like, you know.
08:04I hope you enjoy Thailand.
08:05We usually go to the Caribbean.
08:08Close my eyes.
08:09But same, if I watch it again, I would be more like, relax and enjoy more.
08:15Yeah.
08:16I love it.
08:17I love it.
08:18Please, these gays, they're trying to murder me.
08:21It took me a little while to understand sort of what was going on because I'm so used to
08:26watching action movies and that kind of template.
08:29You know, once tension started building within the first season, I was like, ah, I get it
08:34now.
08:35And this is really good.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Well, judging from the first two seasons, I want to know what happens, how Mike's going
08:41to spice it up even more.
08:43So, you know, especially knowing that, oh, he's setting in Thailand.
08:47I was like, it's definitely going to be chaotic.
08:50I think Thailand's just a great setting for this series, too.
08:54Yeah.
08:55Yeah.
08:56A lot of culture.
08:57A lot of culture.
08:58Eastern versus Western.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Culture clashing a little bit.
09:02Yeah.
09:03He does it in a great way.
09:04Thank you, Teen Vogue, for having us.
09:06I'm Lisa.
09:07And I'm Taym.
