That's some TEA. I had no idea.

2025-01-14 04:38:43 +0000 UTCI legit went back and watched the scene after I first read this. I completely missed that! What an amazingly cool small detail
Rebecca
2025-01-14 04:37:26 +0000 UTCThe fact that you are quoting the names that I call the characters is making me crack up but also greatly appreciated
Rebecca
2025-01-14 04:36:21 +0000 UTCI will honestly probably call him crypto guy the entire show. I think they wrote him kind of polarizing and I think they succeed in that for me. Because I am constantly like "ugghh scumbag" but at the same time yes he does have points. He does seem to actually care about Junhee

2025-01-14 04:34:55 +0000 UTCOmg...No but hearing about her success makes me so proud of her. I mean, I never doubted her and her talent is undeniable. But still! Especially after hearing about her going through such a rough patch

2025-01-14 04:31:22 +0000 UTCWow hahahaha. I feel like yeah that game would honestly benefit from you being frustrated.
Rebecca
2025-01-14 04:28:08 +0000 UTCOh and I don't know if you remember, but after your reaction to PD48 I submitted a video for FF of Yuri playing video game and being extremely frustrated. Yuri told us on Bubble that she actually had a Squid Game audition that day and was already feeling anxious/short-tempered & so that game just fueled the frustration she was having

2025-01-12 06:43:11 +0000 UTCSo Yuri related staff: Her IG followers is now at 4.3mil - It was at 1.5mil before Squid Game 2 aired. She has also gotten 6.5mil likes in 1 IG post, possibly a record for 4th Gen female idol. This week, news came out that Yuri is in the talks for a lead role in a new triller by a relatively renowned producer. She mentioned it briefly & casually during her last comeback so not a lot of fans knows, but she confirmed in an interview released this week that when she was auditioning for Squid Game, she was going through a very tough time including numerous failed audtions and her father passing away. During her last comeback, she mentioned her father's passing was around the time when she was recording one of the b-sides (Bruise) for her album. Link to the song with lyrics : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b55Y1FaVgfw Also in the same interview - IZ*ONE members congratulated her when casting news came out. But Yena found out a bit earlier than the rest. When Yuri received the call that she passed the 1st round of audition, she was out with Yena so she told her about it. And when Yuri knew she has gotten the role but casting news was not out yet, Yena had a dream of Yuri being pregnant and crying so she called Yuri

2025-01-12 06:39:43 +0000 UTCI don't really get the hate for Myung-Gi (Player 333, crypto guy). Yes, he got himself and Junhee (and many others) into the crypto scam and into debts. That's like what 50% of Gen Z nowadays? And happen so often we don't even need to put blame on anyone other than the real scammers. Sure he ran the youtube channel, but like he said to Thanos - he didn't force anyone to buy or hold onto the coins longer than they should have. Yes, he ghosted Junhee for 6 months. But I do agree when he said that he was in a tough spot, with people looking to kill him. Would we rather he stick around Junhee, both on the run and risking Junhee getting killed too? I think not. Junhee not refuting when he said 'We agreed"" to aborting the baby can also hint that they did indeed both agree on it - no evidence shows that Myung-Gi forced the decision on her so I'll hold off my judgement on that. Sure he did and will do some questionable things, but I don't see him as bad. He's just our typical guy on the street trying to live.

2025-01-12 05:59:26 +0000 UTCSpeaking of the Frontman, it just came to mind, there's a tidbit about the actor himself. For all the drama between HYBE and MHJ on how LE SSERAFIM stole the title of "HYBE's first girl group", LE SSERAFIM is in fact not the first girl group. Even before GFRIEND (Source Music's then-existing girl group when Big Hit acquired the label) had debuted, HYBE (Big Hit ent) already debuted a girl group call GLAM. This group disbanded in 2015 after a member, together with a model, planned and blackmailed Lee Byunghun (Actor of the Frontman) with a compromising video. The girl got sentenced to prison, but if I remember correctly Lee Byunghun appealed for her and she was ultimately given a suspended sentence. This was such a huge scandal back then and almost anyone who followed kpop and kdrama heard wind about it

2025-01-12 05:40:11 +0000 UTCSo, one interesting details about the pentathlon and the Frontman doing the spinning top: The Frontman is actually left handed. We know that from when he shot his brother. So during the first 2 tries he did with the spinning top that failed, he was using his right hand. And the last successful attempt was made with his left. There was an interview with the actor that confirmed that
Rae
2025-01-12 05:12:36 +0000 UTCI think the story the Frontman gave is indeed true just that it was in the past all those years back. And I think that's the interesting aspect of this game. We have people who got themselves in here through debts from gambling or other addictions/reasons, and people who are here not to feed into their own wants but needs e.g. Yuri being pregnant (and albeit in debts too because of cryto), the 'sick baby daddy' who just wants to save his child, and even the Frontman when he himself joined as a player
