Big thanks to the guys, they asked the most interesting questions and for a moment they made me forget how boring the host's questions were.

Peggy Gou is my idol! I'm a Korean American woman too, in awe of what she has accomplished. I love making music too. 😊

[OCMOOMOMO]

Just discovered Peggy and she is so cool and captivating.

[jonathanbowen]

Oh cool I like her music. "DJ-Kicks: Peggy Gou" and her "Mixmag presents" mix are awesome.

Trust Oxford to kill anything that's a vibe.

Horrible interviewer.... there is absolutely no flow. Simply questions were recited from a list. There was no dialogue, how boring. I skimmed through and then stopped watching.

[uliliulili]

Please guys, I know that u wanna criticize the interviewer. But do you have to hate the woman? Cmon ppl.. All of her colleagues and she herself will be watching this. I appreciate your attention.

[avejaly]

How can folks hate this woman ? For her success ? Pathetic.

[atop]

As soon as she sits down the first question is asked. thats not how interviews work. Havent you seen american late night shows? Have a brief casual chat before starting the questions. Dont be afraid to leave some questions unasked - go with the flow and you might get them to share something very interesting that wasnt on your script. I havent even seen the entire vid but I’ve seen previous interviews with this interviewer. We get it - Oxford people are supposedly smart and hardworking. Why not social as well?

[kandyramirez]

Did someone else notice the guys that checks his phone everytime the camera shots the whole audience. Nice interview tho!

[mrlevinielsen]

I didn’t think that would be her real accent but I like it lol

[MrKeenun]

I was wondering why the video was so short... she wouldn't answer half the questions! Such a pity, I feel there's a lot to learn about her struggles coming up in the DJ world. Females can do it extremely tough in what is a majority male lead industry.

44:10 translation: It's there, but I'm above it.

[RealGilliVanilli]

So many people know her ghostproducers

[benjaminkaarst]

This interview is not up to the Oxford standard.

[johnyixcks]

Wish the interviewer had asked her about taking a huge fee to play a festival held in Saudi Arabia and funded by the government. Such a bad look, but I guess when you get offered a huge cheque all your morals go out the window.

[MultiSciGeek]

In the thumbnail she looks like the Queen of Bhutan.

[yuke]

Actually, do people ever NOT shit talk? 😅
