In the Soop: Friendcation - EP2

Actually Hyungsik is the lead of the drama u have watched- Strong woman

I have a lot of anxiety too...I can't talk to people or be in crowds or even think about going to concerts...I don't go out or have friends that I hang out with. Therapy has always been a no-go especially as I live in India and my parents are against the idea of anything pro mental health. I never understood why drinking freaked me out especially as I am 23 yrs old. I think what you said about being in control of my own mind is the reason too.

I definitely think washing vs not washing chicken before cooking is a cultural thing. There is not one person in the Bahamas (where I'm from) who would even begin preparing chicken without washing it with water, vinegar and lime juice first but I noticed Wooshik only used water so I guess it varies.

Hi Austin! I had my birthday weekend so just catching up now. Hyungshik and V haven't collabed but V and Peakboy have collabed together and they have a song called Snow Flower. Its funny you mentioned Strong Woman as Hyungshik is the main lead in that too but I don't think you recognised him lol. Their friendship is wholesome and I love watching your reaction!

Hi Austin, I love this series with these 5 amazing men. It's heartwarming, and their friendship is based on mutual respect for each other. How beautiful is that. Oh and Austin, I love it when you have a nice chat.

Hopefully not a spoiler. The theme song for this show is the 5 of them singing.

Hyungsik is a really good actor as well as singer. You will see later in ep 3 I think.

my personal take on the double eyelids (I'm European so just an opinion, nothing qualified lol) is that they are "in" to look more Western and probably stem from mono eyelids being the cause of a lot of racist jokes over the decades (in the West). I'm sure that every Western person has heard some horrible words associated with eyes and Asian people. So I do think the want for double eyelids come from an unhappy place which I find sad but other than that everyone should be able to to what they want if it makes them feel happier/more comfortable with their own body

to be absoultely honest the first time I watched this I liked Peakboy but Seojun and Wooshik didn't really stand out to me. But now after Jinny's Kitchen I've grown really fond of them so it's fun to go back to this and watch it again with my new found adoration for Seojun and Wooshik :)

Thanks for the reaction. Btw, all of the Wooga squad appears in Gyopo Hairstyle.

The Show came out in July last year. It was filmed in January 2022. The Permission to Dance Seoul Concerts took place in March. Day 1 and 3 got Live Streamed and day 2 had a Live Viewing Event. But the Seoul concert they mean is the Speak Yourself final, it's the Tour that took place in Break the Silence.

None of them are in it but I bet you’d love the kdrama “business proposal,” it’s so funny and cute.. it’s pretty much a rom com but it’s so funny and the characters are amazing… it’s def more of a light show a lot of the time but it’s so funny and entertaining! There’s this iconic moment w shots, dynamite and boood sweat and tears mini choreo that is just a must see!

This was filmed way before PTD in Seoul happened, the concert they are talking about that they went to see is SY Final Concert in Seoul in October 2019, they all went apart from Hyungsik

Had no idea you started Friendcation. How exciting! Take your time reacting, your health is more important. Don’t apologize, I like hearing your thoughts or stories. I’ve been sick since Wednesday. Could be allergies or a cold. 🤷‍♀️

for romantic kdrama to seojun i definetely recommend to u secretarys kim and hwarang ( v and hyungshik are acting there too)

I'm glad you're starting to feel better! I agree with you about Peakboy. He's so cute in this. I just watched Parasite today and Wooshik is such an amazing actor. Definitely NOT a rom com, though lol. Thank you for reacting to this series! I really love it.

Hyungsik is mainly an actor now! He was in a group called ZE:A that debuted in like 2010 and disbanded in 2017? He was also in Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon, he was the male lead (I'm pretty sure you said you watched this?) !! He also acted in Hwarang with seojun and tae which is where they met I think :)

omg I'd so be down to watch one of Wooshiks dramas with you if you ever want to do that. He's done a lot of different genres, but one of his recent dramas 'Our Beloved Summer' is my fave of his out of the ones I've seen, it's a rom-com and is very calming and sweet (but not cringe, I can't stand those either) its very much so for when you just need something to watch when you're stressed or something, not so much comedy though if I remember right. This is also the drama that tae did one of his OST's for- 'Christmas Tree'. It was always so nice hearing tae voice every episode lmao.
