Yim Siwan met his old friend Eric Nam on the later's show for Dive Studios. One can see their great rapport.
Siwan spoke a lot in English - very fluently. They have put very good subtitles for the parts where he is speaking in Korean.
Here are some gems from the show.
Siwan on his creative mindset...
" I often think that I should be like a creator, culturally. I often think I should keep creating even if I'm not good at it. These days I'm thinking a lot about how I cannot be the architect of my life if I just follow orders."
Siwan on how he overcame the fear for his first opportunities to act with veteran actors...
"To me, it was a real opportunity. - I found something I could do. - Yeah. I was given an opportunity to play a role. As a member of a boy band, I didn’t get many opportunities. For example, Kwanghee did... Kwanghee went on a lot of variety shows at the time. And I was always at the dorms. Because a member of the band is away the rest of the members didn’t even do any events or anything. We stayed at the dorms. I was one of the members who stayed. And I found something to do.
So, to me, it was such a precious opportunity. I didn't even have time to feel any stress."
Siwan on being recognized as a villain for his role in Unlocked...
The limitation that a villain has is... A villain is like a kind of spice? Something stimulating? I think it's a kind of spice, like MSG. Even if people taste something spicy just a little bit, it leaves an impression, so...
When Eric asked Siwan if he would be ok to take on more villain roles...
Okay, let me tell you that. If there are some good projects there no hesitation with doing that, but But compared to just good buy, bad guy. Then, I'm leaning towards a good guy... ...it depends on the script. If there is a great script
and I have to play the villain, then no problem. Yeah. But if it's a villain role,
if someone said the role of a villain would suit me well, then I'd hesitate.
Siwan put it very well in the interview... A villain's role is like a spice, people notice it clearly and tend to remember it. But it's the good guy's role that heals the heart. And Siwan is BRILLIANT at those as well. Wish they had discussed in detail Siwan's recent good roles too!
I have said this before, and I'll keep saying it. #Unlocked was a nice to watch #SummerStrike is a must watch. I'm glad that they discussed #Misaeng at least. #RunOn too deserves attention, but I guess it was too global in appeal that it missed a mark in the home country.
Siwan pours himself in every role he does. And they all deserve standing applause.
But, yes, we live in a world where we talk about the spicy food more than the soothing comfort food. 🥲
Siwan on holding fan-concerts even as he is busy with his acting assignments...
"True. I'm so busy every day. To do it all, I have to stay...
alert every day. But the reason why I keep doing this is… I think I do have a rebellious side to me. I sensed that people were unknowingly thinking that I'll only pursue acting from now on. “No, I've never given up on music.” I think that's how my rebellious side comes out. And I really do like singing. And even more importantly, “I won't sing anymore because my acting career is going well,” if I thought that, I felt like the ten years I've poured into being a member of a boy band would become mere memories. Not even that. It disappears from my memories. But it is a precious part of my 20s. I'd like to find ways... Somehow make some conclusion. I thought “I should wrap it up somehow.” “I should create something.” I was thinking about that."
Siwan continued to say that it is difficult (for his fans) to understand how much time and energy gets invested in each of his performances... (But Siwan, we know! We understand and we know!)
They played some fun games... The interaction is worth watching!
When Siwan guessed what 700 means!
Siwan was made to choose between his characters. Misaeng, Jang GeuRae (of course) won the challenge... But the most difficult choice was between The Merciless's Hyun-soo and GeuRae! Siwan rightly said (in English) "It's so representative!"
"I'm the guy who is searching for something new, that nobody has tried before."
(Even if it is a show where he and Eric Nam are laying down and drinking whiskey with a straw! And the camera is stuck on the ceiling! Hahahaha...)
Siwan ended the show with a message for his fans to look forward to his upcoming series and movies... Thanking for rooting for him!
Here's the picture that Siwan shared on his Instagram...
Eric Nam and Siwan have been friends for many years. Here's a video from 2015 where Eric teases Siwan for his British accent!

Here is the transcript for the entire episode to make this more search-able! :)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Daebak Show. I'm your host, Eric Nam, and we're glad to have you back. We're excited to have you back.
And I'm excited to be here because I have a dear good friend of mine sitting to my left.
You probably know who he is and what he does. And all the incredible ways that he does them. But I'm honestly a little bit nervous about this interview conversation because
I don't know how to do it. Because... Because I feel like we're so close and we've already talked about so many things just in private? Or it's like “Okay, what do we do? What do we talk about on camera?”
And that kind of stuff. But here is my thing. This guy is like a really good friend of mine.
And you have definitely seen him in some of your favorite movies and dramas. But I don't think all of you know much about him, potentially.
Because... you do hit things... But a lot of it is kind of like... How am I saying this?
Have you had an interview like this before? Like in English and all that kind of stuff?
Siwan - I've never. This is my first time. -
See? This is why...
But before we do that... That's why I'm just nervous. Alright, today we have a great friend of mine.
Everybody, please give a big warm welcome to Mr Yim Si Wan.
Siwan - Hello. Nice to meet you.
- Hi, how are you? - Nice to meet you. - Wait, first... - So far so good. Should we do this in English or Korean?
Siwan - Both of them all.
- Both? Okay. - Yeah. Alright. I'm going to try to
listen carefully when you speak English. Okay, well then, I'll probably end up speaking in Korean. - So. - Really?
- I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Siwan - Okay. I'm going to let you know when I don't understand.
Yeah. But his English is really good. This is a thing about Si Wan. A: He's really smart. And then he's also really good at all the things he does.
So, we can throw anything at him. He's going to be fine.
Siwan - What were you saying?
It'll all be in subtitles. Check them out later. I'm so curious. We talked about it during the break.
We were... It's our first time talking in front of a camera.
Don't you feel kind of awkward? It kind of feels awkward.
Anyways, how have you been? I mean, what have you been up to? I know you just released stuff on Netflix.
You were also just kind of on vacation, not really.
Siwan - Not really. It's work. - Yeah, hard-working always, I don't know why.
You're one of the most hard-working people that I know, honestly.
Siwan - But you are more than me. I don't know. We're equally hard working. I'm watching you. I'm always thinking that. "I have to be a hard worker." Because I've been watching you.
So that's why. No, no. But I'm so... It's like you do so many things
and so many projects. And I think when you set your mind to something
you always accomplish it. So as a friend, watching that,
should I say I get fired up by it? Like, I'm inspired by the stuff that you do.
Siwan - Same as you. I'm inspired by you. - Inspired - Thank you.
when I'm watching you. But it's... I wanted to ask you where do you get the energy and where you do you get that
motivation? Because I think, for people, it's all very different. That's right. Okay, let's talk about motivation.
Siwan - Okay, what's your motivation? - My motivation? - Yep. - Oh, we're going to go really deep today. Siwan - Maybe your Your brothers, maybe.
Right? I mean, I think part of it.
I think for me it's... My motivation, a big part of it comes from... I feel like for most of my life it was...
I was told, "You can't do this." I often heard that it's impossible for me.
Okay. But it wasn't like I was forcing... I wanted to prove them wrong.
- Show them that I can? - Yeah, I have that. Sort of that... So that was that. And then I think, generally, I'm a very
ambitious person and I like to build things. I like making stuff. While the process of it is hard, but I have fun with it.
So I think that's like it. And then, at the core, it's like The reason I started in the first place is because
I liked music. And now it's about how can I create something that's better and cooler.
Siwan - I think that's my motivation. These days, I often think that I should be like a creator, culturally.
I often think I should keep creating even if I'm not good at it.
These days I'm thinking a lot about how I cannot be the architect
of my life if I just follow orders.
Because of that, I'm always busy because I have to find that which is creative.
I have to do a lot of research on the works of others, as well. That's the reason why naturally...
Actually as I talked to you about it earlier - I have so many shows that I must watch. - So many.
Even for just one show, I have to set aside 16 hours to watch "The Glory."
All that while we're filming a show as well as other commitments. And I have to work out to take care of myself.
And I have to meet people so that I can get inspired. With all that, a day feels so short.
True. - So short on time. - Yeah.
You know, again, I really wanted to have you on the show because I think you're an incredibly talented friend, and I want...
I still remember also when you were like "I'm going to learn English really well so I can do more stuff in the States."
"And do acting in Hollywood and American TV and drama." I was like, "Yes. You should. Definitely."
And it's always... When people are like, "Hey, we're looking for a Korean actor who speaks English." I'm like, "Talk to this guy."
I'm always recommending you to everyone wherever I go. I tell them about you.
But I was like, "I want people who are... My fans or people who watch this,
like an interview or my podcast to know you more as well.” How did you get started? Period.
I know that's a very big, broad question. But you got into a group and you got into acting from the beginning beginning.
Did you dream of becoming a celebrity or a singer when you were a kid?
Siwan - There were several music festivals at the university.
So I signed up. I signed up. But I didn't know they were connected to the entertainment industry.
It was called "CMB Chin Chin Star Festival." I went
and because I had never been on stage... While I liked singing, I'd never been on stage, so I sang, feeling so nervous and anxious.
I thought, "I failed." Do you remember what you sang? "Love, that Common Word" by Kim Yeon Woo.
There's a funny story behind that When you sing a song like that, you should sing the highlight of the song, right?
That usually means you sing the chorus. But being so earnest, I sang right from the beginning.
You began from the first note of the song, calmly. When it was time for the chorus
"Thank you for coming," they said. Was there a time limit? They didn't listen to the whole thing because they were busy.
I heard them say, "Thank you for coming," and I went off stage. I knew right away "I don't think it's going to work out," I thought.
On my way down, I heard "We're So-and-so Entertainment," and they gave me a business card.
- That was the beginning. - Okay. That's when you got the business card.
It had to be a huge decision to say yes to their invitation.
Did you say, "Okay, I'll go"? - There were no doubts. ` - Really? You came straight to Seoul?
There was no reason for me to hesitate... That period... because I just wanted to escape from
- studying. Learning. - You really did hate it. I did. So So I asked my parents...
And I was living in a rural part of Busan.
Back then, I was... No, not even that, I was... The way I was living was so far away from the entertainment industry.
The only thing I wanted to know was this: “Is this a scam?”
- It's so crucial. - Yeah. It's a very scary thing. I wanted to know if I was being conned or not.
I noticed that they managed famous celebrities.
Since it's wasn’t a scam I asked my parents for permission.
"I have to go. I'm going to Seoul." So I made a promise. - What promise? - With my parents.
"If you don't make it within a year, then come home and serve your military service,, and then get yourself together and resume studying."
I'm sure my parents had no idea that I'd be a member of a boy band.
They probably thought, “He’ll be home soon.” I think so too.
Because the thought of me joining a boy band? “No, that's not for me.”
To be honest, I didn't even enjoy watching entertainment shows. It must have seemed like a very silly aspiration back then.
- It's like a WTF. Really, right? - Yeah. - But after a blink of an eye... - Yeah, to my parents, yes.
But in the blink of an eye, you're a boy band member who's performing on stage. That's right. It took me about two years.
How was that for you? Like... You didn't think of becoming a boy band member, but you became one.
Were you like, "Yes, this is exactly what I want to do." Or like, "I guess I'll give it a try."
I'm so curious what was your mindset like when it happened? Actually, I began without even knowing if it was something I liked or not.
- Exactly, yeah. - Yeah. It was just because they called for me. It was my first time ever living in Seoul.
I felt like everyone in Seoul had made it to some degree.
I felt like they were in a superior cultural sphere. I thought I should follow their lead.
On top of that, I thought I had to do everything exactly as they told me
because they were a very established agency.
I thought that was the only way to become successful. I didn't have any space to think about my preferences.
Right. Since I was learning things that I knew nothing about
I thought I had to absorb everything they taught me. And I thought debuting would mean that I'd made it.
“Debuting is the goal.” - Like equal things. - Yeah. But once I debuted, that wasn't it.
It was the beginning of a debacle. It's the beginning of a war. - Yeah, that's the point when the war starts. - Yeah.
But I'd never heard about anything about that life from anyone. I had never seen it either.
So I plunged myself into it. Once I debuted, it was like...
You know, so many younger artists were there. - Yeah. - Tons of artists.
How old were you when you debuted? - 23 in Korean? - Okay.
23. Yeah. - So, that was not a young age, right? - No, not young. To debut. To get a debut. So I was very shocked. Debuting was the final goal.
But once I accomplished it, debuting meant nothing. This is how I imagined it.
Once I debut, the lifestyles of the biggest stars on TV.
You know? Wherever you go, they go... You walk through a sea of people
and the camera flashes everywhere as you get to your vehicle. That was the life I imagined.
- That's what they show you on TV. - Right. - Like in dramas and movies. - Right. True. All the media portrays celebrities that way.
So that's why I thought that was going to happen to me once I debuted.
That's what TV taught me. But that's not the reality. - Not at all. - It's not.
Once you debut, you have to work extremely hard.
But what I noticed was that there were so many artists who were much younger and much more talented.
So I didn't know what to do. “Wait, this is not good.'” “I can't...”
“It's not something...” It didn’t feel like a simple matter of just putting in effort.
It wasn't about working hard. I worried a lot about how I was doing something that wasn't for me.
After I debuted. “Even if I work really hard at developing my skills as a musician from now on, I'm getting older every day.”
I was already on the older end age-wise for a boy band member.
And the problem was no matter how hard I worked, it's like I was always trying to catch up with them.
To be better than them, I needed to work even harder and longer.
Strategically, it didn’t feel right. So I thought, “Maybe I should quit and returning to studying?”
There was a time when I was thinking about that.
Was that when you began your acting career? - Or was it... - That's right. Almost at the end of it.
It was when I was almost ready to make the decision. “It was a good experience.”
“Let's get back to reality and study.” “I was meant to study,” I thought.
Around the time I was about to do that, I went for an audition. Did you get the role on your first audition?
It was "The Moon Embracing The Sun." Did you get the role on your first-ever audition? I had some offers for minor roles.
But as for a role with some impact... - An important character, yes. - Meaningful? Meaningful role in drama?
"The Moon Embracing the Sun" was the first time I was offered that kind of role.
They trusted in my talent and gave me that role.
And that was the beginning. What I think is amazing is that You were already thinking, “At my age, this might not be a good fit.”
But acting is yet Another new adventure. It's another aspect of the entertainment industry,
but it's a different area, different skill, and a different know-how. In some ways, it's a totally new start.
True. For me... As you know, for me I began acting very recently.
I kept saying no to offers because I wasn't sure about learning something new.
- “What if I'm not good at it?” - Yeah, I know what you mean. And it'd be so embarrassing if I sucked... I had so many of those thoughts.
That's why I kept saying no to offers. I tried it for the first time recently.
Going from being about to give up and go back to saying, "Okay, I'll try acting."
That's like a big decision, as well, in many ways. It wasn’t like that to me.
For me, it was... On my first try...
I realized that “This is my thing.” 'This is what I want to do.'
'This is what I have to do.” When I filmed for the first time.
I was so comfortable. - Whenever I... - That is so interesting. Whenever I was on the stage as a boy group band
ZE:A. - I felt so nervous. - Oh, really? It was too tough to glance, to stare...
- At the camera. - Camera. - On stage. - Because everybody told me that. Just watching the camera like
just like, “eating camera.” They say you should “eat” the camera. But I felt so uneasy doing that.
What do you mean by "eat the camera"? Why don't you just look at the camera casually?
I felt so uneasy doing that. I didn't even understand what that meant.
So, when I'm acting, it's a blooper if I look at the camera.
- It's not about fighting the camera. - True. I found that so comfortable.
- That's great. - Yeah. I thought, “I'd like to keep doing this.” That's when I thought that.
And since then, you've done so many roles. Yeah. So many roles, in dramas and movies.
Was there any project where you knew instinctively you had to do it? "The Attorney." "Misaeng."
- Like that. “I have to do this.” - You knew it immediately. Why, exactly, I had to do it
I don't know why. I didn't know why, but just have to do it. I could know that
this is mine. I'm curious. In these... You know a lot of your movies and your shows,
you worked with really incredible veteran actors. You worked with great veteran actors.
Early on in your career. How was that for you? Was that scary? Was that terrifying or was that like, “No, this is just..”
“This is completely fine.” It was so scary. Cameras were no problem.
But when it came to working with veteran actors, it was like... Don't you feel it?
The nervousness when you’re in a scene with a great veteran actor? The pressure of feeling like you shouldn’t drag them down. '
I found it so hard to handle. Right? That's the hard part. - It was so hard. - Yeah. So, who was the hardest?
Of course... I feel like you're probably close to them very much. And there is a great respect that you have for them.
And likewise, they respect you. But when you are that younger actor, still getting started
who were you most terrified of? Definitely that was Song Kang-ho sunbaenim. - Oh, yeah. - Because that was first time.
That was first experience to - act with the greatest sunbaenim? - Yeah, massive.
While I had done other films before that... Song Kang-ho is the one and only, you know?
It's a rare opportunity to work with the one and only.
It was like... “I cannot be a burden here.”
I was thinking that. And Kim Young-ae was also in the movie.
To me, it was a huge sense of pressure for me. How did you handle the...
Like, was there anything that you told yourself? Or, like, what was your mentality? And I'm asking this because...
I also... Compared to you... I have, like, zero experience, right?
I think if I was... If they were like, "You're going to acting with him." I'd be like, "Oh, ****."
Because again, in acting or in always, you are a sunbaenim to me, too.
But I'd still get nervous because, obviously, I want to do a good job. I'm taking this very seriously.
But there has to be a grounding... You have to set your center and push on from there.
What was the mindset that kept you going? Even though just making a movie with them is incredible,
the movies and dramas you were in did so well too.
I think that's like a very personal mindset of yours. - Mindset? - Yes, Mindset...
It's a mindset of yours. Okay, my mindset was
like there was nothing special without keep practicing
before shooting. So to get over my nervous thing?
- Yeah, your fear and your nervousness. - Fear. To get over fear...
there were no choice but to practice harder and harder. Even I practiced torturing
- Being tortured. - Yeah, I'm sure. At my home. Not home at that time.
That was more like a dormitory than a home. - With your members? - We shared a house.
I didn't even have my own place. But I filled up the tub with water.
I practiced being tortured. Of course, it's not going to improve my acting by leaps and bounds.
That's why other actors felt my acting was not genuine. And I got in trouble for it, too.
But from my perspective... I had to overcome it, you know? But it's funny that I didn't feel any of it was hard.
Were you just excited? More than anything... To me, it was a real opportunity.
- I found something I could do. - Yeah. I was given an opportunity to play a role.
As a member of a boy band, I didn’t get many opportunities. For example, Kwanghee did...
Kwanghee went on a lot of variety shows at the time. And I was always at the dorms.
Because a member of the band is away
the rest of the members didn’t even do any events or anything. We stayed at the dorms.
I was one of the members who stayed. And I found something to do.
So, to me, it was such a precious opportunity. So I didn't even have time to feel any stress.
- Just do it. - Yeah. - Just did it. - Yeah, I mean, that's awesome. And I think it's so cool to see how you’ve developed and continued to develop everything you do. And that's why I'm like so... like, proud and happy to call you a friend
because I literally see all the efforts you put in. So I think it's just really cool.
Can you tell us about your latest Netflix that you did?
And how that came about. So speaking of, "Unlocked."
Okay, let's talk about "Unlocked" then. Recently, so many people told me that
they have watched that well. So Even not only in Korea...
- Globally, I'm sure. - Globally. So it was so good experience to hear that they have watched that well.
And then so many people who didn't know about me well Right.
Just sort of recognizing me. - People who were recognizing me. - Yeah.
They told me that it was so exciting. - It was so creepy that... - Thrilling in many ways.
"I never imagined that you were the villain."
"So, I feel creepy when I meet you in person." Is that weird for you?
Because I think, like, a lot of people when... If an actor does a good job in a film or a drama,
you take on that role in real life. Right? Because to them, at first glance, you are that villain.
Right? - Of course, you were acting. - Yeah. It's like when see a "Game of Thrones" character.
"Oh, it's Prince So-and-so." - That's right. Right, right. - I do that. I think that's kind of funny or fun.
How do you think about that? ` - That's why I smile a lot more on purpose. - Really?
I dress so that I have a different feel than that villain on purpose.
When I go for an event, I ask for outfits that are more vibrant.
- Really? - The type of image that I... The limitation that a villain has is...
A villain is like a kind of spice? Something stimulating? I think it's a kind of spice, like MSG.
Even if people taste something spicy just a little bit, it leaves an impression, so...
- They don't forgot. - No. That is one of the dangers. Got it. "I'm a totally opposite person from that character,"
- You want to emphasize that to others. - Yeah. I think I instinctively do that when meeting others.
He's a nice guy, you guys. Yeah, please tell them.
Please let them know. I'm a nice guy. But it wasn't your first role as a villain...
What do you think about playing more villains in the future? Okay, let me tell you that. If there are some good projects
there no hesitation with doing that, but
But compared to just good buy, bad guy.
Then, I'm leaning towards a good guy... - Good guy? - Good guy, yeah.
I'd like to get... - More good guy? - Yeah. I mean you can do whatever you want. I mean, I feel like you'll have plenty of opportunities, too.
Honestly, you can probably do whatever you want. Practically. - It's like... - Yeah.
After "Emergency Declaration," I played a villain again in "Unlocked."
So I do worry that I might... - That playing villain might continue? - Yeah.
It's not like it was intentional on my part. “Is he having fun playing villains?”
I'm worried that people might think that. I want to emphasize that that's not the case.
- Okay. - Yeah. Of course, it depends on the script. If there is a great script
and I have to play the villain, then no problem. Yeah. But if it's a villain role,
if someone said the role of a villain would suit me well, then I'd hesitate.
You’re working hard at acting but at the same time you haven't given up on music.
I think you're still working on it. That is also something that takes a lot of time, energy, and investment.
Why? You know it is absurd that I'm doing everything, right?
It's a lot. - Time is... - So much. Time-wise, it doesn't make any sense.
True. I'm so busy every day. To do it all, I have to stay...
alert every day. But the reason why I keep doing this is… I think I do have a rebellious side to me.
I sensed that people were unknowingly thinking that I'll only pursue acting from now on.
“No, I've never given up on music.” I think that's how my rebellious side comes out.
And I really do like singing. And even more importantly,
“I won't sing anymore because my acting career is going well,”
if I thought that, I felt like the ten years I've poured into being a member of a boy band
would become mere memories. Not even that. It disappears from my memories.
But it is a precious part of my 20s. I'd like to find ways...
Somehow make some conclusion. I thought
“I should wrap it up somehow.” “I should create something.” I was thinking about that.
- Yeah. - Cheering for you. Way too busy. It must be so stressful.
You've done things like collaboration performances, a dance medley, singing, and many others.
People don't know just how much time, work, and preparation they take.
- It's hard to understand just how much.- Yeah, yeah, it's hard to know. I'm sure they understand, but it's really hard to know.
I think it's really great that you are doing all of that.
What else do you have coming up in the next... I don't know whatever. I'm sure you have so many projects that are going to be released.
Anything interesting that you can share? First of all, I'm planning to get some new album.
- Oh, really? - Not my own album but I'm planning to get some... take part in some project.
Okay. I've received a song. I'm working on that. Then you also have "Boston."
- Right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there a release date for that yet or no? We don't know yet. It's going to be on...
- In September. - Okay. Yeah, in September, maybe.
- "Boston." - "Boson" in September. My new movie "Boston."
- Always staying busy dude. - Yeah. - Hectic schedules. - It's great. So, yeah, everybody, look out for his potentially his new music,
as well as, the new movie And he's killing it. So, yeah.
Anyways. Maybe so we could get something. Interesting projects together.
- Yeah. - You and me, right? - I'm down. - I don't know what that would be. Something interesting.
- We'll find something. - Yeah. I think we could do something fun together, no problem.
Something interesting. - If the time allows. - If time allows. Seriously, that's the most important part.
- We have to have time to spare to be able to.... - Seriously. But I think it'd be fun to work together.
A lot of cool things to do. But when it comes to living a busy life...
Firstly, I'm busy because I'm having fun working. - If it wasn’t fun... - True.
I think it's good to work because you enjoy it. Secondly, when I think about it, I was late to enjoying cultural activities.
Watching movies. Watching dramas. Listening to music. I think I paid too little attention to them in my school days because I was busy studying.
So compared to people who’ve been enjoying them early on,
I think, even though it's late for me, I should catch up on what I've missed. Okay.
So, I started late... That includes exercise. I didn't exercise when I was a student.
I think it's only right that I'm busy because I started on things like that late.
Okay. Oh, man. Well, dude, keep it up. I'm excited for all the things you have going on.
And then you know, as a friend, I'm always cheering you on. So...
Okay.
Now we're going to start wrapping up this episode with the incredible Mr Yim Si Wan right here.
But before we do that, we're going to play some games. - Very simple games. - Okay. - Very easy games. - Okay.
Let's play The Slang Challenge. - I don't know anything about it. - Slang? - Eric, you probably don't know them. - I really don't.
"Bun joh ka." "Booni. Boon..." - Do you know this one? - I don't even know.
"Boono..." "Boonoga johgemanheun kadeu." (Lots of cards that make your anger feel good)
I see. I'm kind of good at guessing these. It's because you're smart. I think I'm kind of good at guessing abbreviations.
See, it's like this one. This one. Like this mood.
This ambiance. Right? "Bunwigi joheun kape" (a cozy cafe).

"Feeling." "Good"? What's this?
- It's... - You know this one? I think I do. "Boonsig..." "Good feeling."
- Where does it say that? - I don't know. - Where? - No, I was... "Feeling good."
You mean, "I am feeling good"? Yeah, "I am feeling good." - I think I know. - What is it?
- I'll get this one. - Okay. - "Go for it." - "Ga bo ja go." "Ga bo ja go" (Let's go).
Got it. "700"? "700"?
"Chill.... chill out." "Chill out." Yeah.
"700"? Wait, I want to get this one. It means something? Shape or meaning?
- Shape? - Shape? I have no idea. Do you want a hint? - Hint? - We want to get some hint.
Part of a Korean word? Oh, I see. - What is it? - "Gwi yeo wo" (cute)

"Oh, why?" "Oh, why?" Hint, hint, hint. Were they six words?
"Aioai." That's five. I'm not good with numbers.

Okay, what are you going to choose if you were me? They are so different, but I think it's like
- What means more to you? - Exactly. I mean, they are so different, both of them are masterpieces.
So representative, right? - This is hard. - "Misaeng" was released earlier?
- Yeah. - You did it earlier. Oh, if I choose Jang Geu-rae, then I'm going to miss Jo Hyun-soo a lot.
If I choose Jo Hyun-woo of "The Merciless," I'm going to miss - Jang Geu-rae a lot. - Jang Geu-rae a lot.
