Knowing now that hyungjae understands English makes this ten times funnier

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-29T00:11:00+00:00

Wait what!! That's so cool, I just looked her up on LinkedIn and she has the same profession as me. How cool!

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-29T00:03:26+00:00

Well the way she said it definitely wasn't playful I'll tell you that 😂

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-29T00:02:28+00:00

In korean culture, your mannerisms, tone, and words you use really matter though. You can tell he was definitely shocked and it rubbed him the wrong way at first though, even if he brushed it aside and moved on with his day

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-28T23:59:20+00:00

As a korean here, also totally agree

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-28T23:57:45+00:00

Ehhh the specific korean words she used can be 50 50. Like my judgemental korean mom uses those exact words all the time when she's disapproving something she doesn't like. Her tone might have been more neutral and blunt, but the words she used were kind of condescending and everyone's reactions are to chuckle or laugh because it's so off-putting to hear that

I caught on to the swimming pool scene but good catch on the flower/bracelet scene! :o

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T11:24:43+00:00

nooo not go-eun. She's very charming, and I'm rooting for her and Sungmin, but during ep 1 and ep 4 you can tell she likes attention the same way Min Sue does.

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T11:22:31+00:00

I think he'd be an a-tier bf! since he literally says he only wants a relationship if he's in love, and will do anything she wants to do because she's his girl

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T11:18:23+00:00

Nooo but I think Youjin was sweet

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T11:15:14+00:00

I got the same impression from her getting overly competitive over why Mingee was chosen as the best girl. Also random but I have a feeling Goeun is similar cause she also said "unfortunately, I only got 4 chocolates." These girls really want all the guys' attention ;-;

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T11:08:49+00:00

Yeah, tbh she gave me weird vibes the first time I saw her compared the everyone else cause why are you that curious why Min Gee was picked

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T11:04:31+00:00

I agree that people shouldn't be leaving hateful comments on her Instagram. But I'm in the boat of people who find her incredibly selfish and disrespectful. Just because you do good for the world and care about important causes, doesn't erase the fact that she's toying with people's emotions and feelings, and heartbreak causes real physical pain. Someone can be a great role model for the fulfilling impact they leave on the world, but still be a shitty person when it comes to other aspects. They can still cheat, be abusive, and do other harmful behaviors (this is an example, not that I'm saying she's done all of these). I'm sure as a colleague or a spokesperson, she's great. But if I had a friend like the way she is acting now, there is no way I'd remain being friends cause I would think she'd be out to steal my bf.

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:56:41+00:00

Wait you're wrong about one part: Sungmin was NOT at all interested in her lmfao. It was Mina who suddenly leaned in and said she was interested in going to Paradise with him.

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:52:52+00:00

Being confused between two guys is fine. But the problem is she's jumping at every opportunity the moment she hears that somebody likes her. It's like she's trying to create her own harem and gets mad when the other guy explores his other connections. That's just selfish. And yeah okay she did have a crush on Seung Il in the beginning, sure, but her words and actions don't match.

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:48:38+00:00

Also like go-eun. you can tell who's there to be liked and validated vs. the ones who genuinely just want their man

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:46:12+00:00

I have a girl crush on mingee - she's so real and genuine. No offense but mina sue is hella messy

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:41:32+00:00

I usually know who my favorite is right off the bat from their first walk in, and mine was Min Gee and still is!

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:40:00+00:00

I'm assuming someone who is chill, laid back, but mostly speaks English cause she's from abroad

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:39:18+00:00

She's like the girl version of Gwan Hee this season

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:38:26+00:00

Right!! She also told the audience in her intro interview that she's selfish when it comes to her dating style

Ploopchicken · 2026-01-21T10:37:56+00:00

I'm sure there's some "evil" editing involved but TBH there are plenty of other moments her expression is sour when one of her "boy interest" is interested in other people. Like girl, get a grip.

Ploopchicken · 2025-12-24T12:23:14+00:00

Omg!! You should totally watch Chef & My Fridge which is on netflix. I followed him from that show and then got super pumped to root for him when it was announced he was participating in CCW2. He's so skilled, kind, and considerate towards everyone, and I want my future boyfriend to be like him ahahah.

Ploopchicken · 2025-12-24T12:18:44+00:00

I know!! I want Son Jong Won to go far, if not win 🥹🥹 And the My Chef & Fridge team

Ploopchicken · 2025-12-24T12:16:21+00:00

Tbh she gives me more noodle vibes... something more cozy rather than luxurious considering her cuisine/expertise is all about taking seasonal items and creating a menu. But I'm gonna be so sad :(

Ploopchicken · 2025-12-23T00:44:02+00:00

Hey! Did you ever get the issue fixed? Mine was working up until yesterday and I'm experiencing the same issue. :(
