뉴욕 1/n 트립: 1도 안 맞는 친구들의 여행법

(A rare morning off in New York) It’s our day off today, right?

Yeah What are you gonna do?

Each of us probably wants something different, so let's say one thing each This again..

This again..

Something "we" want?

"We" never want the same thing I just hope no one hits me up today No, that's not...

Ayy Ajeossi lol What Is your head okay?

No, it's not that...

Is it time for your medicine?

Do you take ssanghwatang?

Ahh lol But it’s so cold outside We shouldn’t go out today I mean, it is pretty cold But we flew all the way to New York, we should go out Okay then let’s do it this way Split it 1/n Morning, Morning afternoon Morning afternoon evening Morning, afternoon, evening, night like this Into three parts Aren’t morning, afternoon, evening, night four parts?

I mean...

Get it together!

Is this an eye mask, by the way?

Ah seriously~ How do you even use this!!??

(Adjusting audio levels...)

Then let's just decide what we’re doing today I still have a dream, you know When you think of New York, guys The lungs of Manhattan!

I have this dream of running in Central Park Ah stop saying stupid crap Chase your dreams alone No, I’m just saying let’s go run a bit in Central Park No Isn’t there a running boom these days?

I’m not doing it It’s not a running boom, running is kinda...

Isn’t it fading out already?

You’re supposed to hop in right at the end of the trend People like us... huh?

Didn’t people run since like 10,000 BC?

People ran, right?

The purpose was different back then If the purpose used to be hunting Now it’s Huh?

Health Talking about running suddenly made it dark lol Even the sky got dark New York got depressed Telling us to go back to bed If you run 3km really slowly You finish in under 20 minutes We all just woke up and our faces are super swollen right now Ah running is hard~ And it’s cold right now So let’s just run 3km We have such a pretty view here, do we really need to go out?

Hold on, hold on Then let’s do this Let’s divide by that first He’s all about food spots Always Yeah Then (THTH tour) dinner Dinner dinner dinner Dinner Mithra I can’t do mornings Everything you want to do is in the morning though What do you want right now Running Going up Going up somewhere high Apple Store lol Apple Store The Apple Store here is 24 hours It’s 24 hours

Why does an Apple Store need to be open 24 hours?

I dunno lol You can’t buy alcohol after 2 a.m.

But you can buy an iPad And the things I need to do are all mostly...

After brunch, you know?

Ah the museum opens around 11, right?

Is the exhibition what matters?

What matters is going inside What matters is someone taking a picture of your back inside When else would we act cultured if not on a trip?

(TN: They had already done their act) (Justin's NY Tour Begins~!)

It’s cold~~ Hey...

Hey...

If you run, you’ll warm up and feel fine again This guy, why is he so damn layered up...

It’s cold~ You call this cold?

Yeah Ah, and also today I for the grand unification of sports brands instead of wearing just one brand Under Armour, adidas, Nike, and I don’t know the brand but a running brand I came covered in all sorts of names Pipe down, you cute puppy So, we’re going to run today What’s your target distance in kilometers?

500m Moderate goal: 2km (1.24mi) Ughhh~~ Finally, Central Park!

Whoa~ that Central, aahhh~ Central, means it’s in the center, right?

(self ad-lib) Uh-huh I already don’t want to do this Ah but today we’re not going to run that hard We’re going to run in Zone 2 Zone 2!

Zone 2, Zone 1, whatever You and I just don’t match at all I’m freezing to death here And what does “Zone 2” even mean?

JXTwoCut? (f**king TwoCut)?

lol You run at about 65–70% of your max heart rate Whether my heart rate is 60 or my heart rate is 70 or my heart rate is 90 how am I supposed to know~?

Your heart just needs to be beating (TN: TATA's incessant complaints) Wow, it’s pretty here though (TN: were quelled by the views) It’s pretty, ah this is nice Oh wow, this view is killer Wow, this is amazing I've lived in New York I’ve been here so many times but I've Never run at Central Park Okay, now the runners’ essential item a smartwatch with an Apple Watch now (collab inquiries welcome) They don’t carry something like this, a thermos?

This... this...!!

Why are you carrying a thermos?

I thought we were carrying drip coffee in a thermos so I brought one and I’m the only one?

I get carrying a small bottle of water but I’ve never seen this before, seriously It’s heavy Ah~ but it’s warm and nice, what’s wrong Ah let’s stretch, stretch (TN: Will there still be sunlight when we run?) Wiggle wiggle Wiggle wiggle x2 (Back-straightening time has come as always today) (Back-straightening time as always today + ajusshi sound collection ZIP) Ah wait, my back (A true K-stretching leader) Ow, damn, that stings

(Each finishing up in their own way...)

Okay, let’s go (100th time) Okay, staaart!

We can’t get in the way of people passing by so we have to run in a single file One or two columns Ah I already hate this Let’s go at about this pace Around this pace PD Lim: But at that speed, if I just move my legs like this walking PD Lim: I can film you lol What’s so funny is we are definitely running, right?

But our staff holding the camera are walking Hey, isn’t this speed-walking at this point?

Can you film me here as well?

Just walking, you know Wow Oh?

That’s the hotel I stayed at when we shot the legendary <August Rush> Oh that one, over there?

The hotel I stayed at is over there So I don’t have very fond memories of (Central Park) The ginkgo nuts I ate So you stayed here for a week and appeared for 0.1 seconds?

Yeah Cool Huh? Like this

Huh? Like this There are lots of dogs off-leash in Central Park You!

Here!

Hey I feel like I’m gonna freeze to death Who the hell wears shorts in winter, what are we doing Shorts are fine for winter running My hands are cold My hands are freezing~ Ggong! (Brrr)

Ggong! (Brrr) Na na na na na Ggong! (Brrr)

Ggong! (Brrr) Because of DJ Tukutz~ It’s cold~ Huh?

They’re taking Polaroids!

Hey hey hey / Wa… wai… It wakes you up nicely Hey Jeongsik (finally revealing true feelings) I’m sleepy (gray man might comeback) Ah this is tough (TN: TATA found an excuse to stop) Hello. What is this?

Hello. What is this?

Wow! This is insane!

We ran 300 meters and now what... lol

Hey let’s take Polaroids!

So you’re saying we're stopping for a Polaroid after 330 meters (0.2mi)?

(confident) Yeah Do you have money?

Is it cash only by any chance?

Card works too They take cards They take the picture so well Hey we have to keep at least this much We ran 356m and it took 12 minutes Look how beautiful that couple is though And it’s not just any Polaroid Look at this It comes out like an actual art piece I think today’s doomed No but actually Guys that thing, you know, running… Running camp?

Running crew Running squad You know, that running gang thing You guys are doing it wrong Sometimes you have to stop and enjoy stuff like this Do you just keep running?

Will that make it a workout?

It will It will Wow look at this It’s just a Polaro— / Oh wow he’s a pro, a pro This isn’t just a Polaroid This is the kind of Polaroid you can remember forever You’re right, wow~ One Park Kyu Gang watching today To one lucky Park Kyu Gang We might send this Polaroid as a gift We’ll take one last one Okay Cute Aegyo aegyo Thank you, sir How do we pay for this?

Well, we're gonna develop them first, you know Okay, to see? OK

Oh, they’re honest people What?

Oh, this is really good?

Get all three Oh, we look like a running gang, running gang Dude, this is the charm of early-winter running It’s so cold that I actually want to run Yeah, once you run, your body warms up and you’re fine It’s so cold I’d rather run Let’s go / It’s so cold though?

Ah...

Kim Jeongsik Tour sucks You said we’d run in Zone 2 but the heart rate is 92 dude Very calm At this rate my heart might stop / It’s lower than usual?

Let’s run You guys aren’t running enough so I’ll do a full sprint to raise my heart rate I’m running really hard, okay?

Hey He’s being left out on his own Yeah (TN: These two found an excuse to stop AGAIN) Ugh I’m freezing, should I buy gloves?

(TN: These two found an excuse to stop AGAIN) Oh I actually need gloves Hey honestly I think we’re too ADHD for a normal running session (TN: At least they have metacognition) I think I need gloves It’s cold Me too. Oh? This is nice?

Me too. Oh? This is nice?

It’s cute?

But isn’t this too big?

Yeah, it’s kind of big?

(now finally spotting the stragglers) Ugh they stopped in the middle again lol What the hell are you doing???

I was gonna buy gloves for you so you don’t get cold No!!!

No!!!

Okay okay let’s go Let’s go Why did you come back?

You were doing fine going ahead I wondered what was up (TN: Teamwork < preventing trash talk) I thought you were talking trash about me again I don’t even have the energy to talk trash about you Huh? Looks like something’s happening over there

Huh? Looks like something’s happening over there Hey let’s go look x2 They’re doing something over there Isn’t that ice skating?

We… Hey isn’t that place? The Home Alone place?

Don’t we look like puppies who can’t focus on the path they're going?

Huh?

This is that famous place!

Like in When Harry Met Sally Is that skating?

This is Lotte World, basically This is that place they always show in romantic comedies How is this all frozen solid like this?

(Jealous Thth) Wow that hyung skates really well (TN: I wanna grow up to be like him) At this point this isn’t running, we’re just running somewhere Rock climbing, rock climbing!

Jeongsik, I’m kind of sorry but can you be quiet when we’re running?

You talk too much Do you run with your mouth?

(I’ll be rebellious) Oh hey hey, a tunnel This place is cool Let’s shoot a music video Your cold gaze and tone of voice SPOILER~ What are you thinking about?

Ba-bam-bbam~~~ Ba-bam-bam~~~~ Don’t sing Rocky (“Don’t sing?”)

(“Don’t sing?”) (Then there’s only one thing to do) There’s always someone who hurts themselves doing that (Then I’ll show through action) Cool!

Cool Sunwoong~ Bravo!

(Finally, we're going on a run!)

Some Koreans passing by saw us and laughed lol (...and we're off) (TTATTA: Save me...)

(...and we're off) (TTATTA: Save me...)

Ruun!

Ah, what I’m feeling right now must be what they call Runner’s High (Huh...?)

(Huh...?)

I’m totally high right now If you keep running like this the worries that wouldn’t untangle will untangle in your head So I every morning wake up at 5 and before I start my morning routine I run like this for 2 hours He’s rambling again He’s rambling to himself again If you run like this

the worries that were like riddles that you couldn’t solve, get solved We ran 1km!

Average pace is 10 minutes 43 seconds!

WTF Koreans passing by (again) saw and laughed At this point this isn’t running content Isn’t this just a Central Park tour?

Huff huff huff Ah please… Stop rambling behind me Can you actually work out while we’re working out?

That’s the running spot Let’s go up there Yeah!

Let’s join the runners Ah yeah We found our community!

Ah uphill C Holy #$() (The longest audio gap in EPIKASE history) Ah now it feels like we’re actually running Wow, that person is really fast Looks like he stole something!

That guy must’ve stolen something!!!!

Jeongsik!!!!

Huh?

The person in front of you must’ve stolen someone’s handbag!!

Look at that thief!

Thief!

That person looks Korean though?

Catch that bastard!

(ThTh moves in) Catch that bastard!

Give the bag back!

What kind of content is this lol (TN: Scored a hat!) Oh no!

Catch that bastard!

(You probably figured it out, but that was just one of our crew running out of the shot) Ah sprinting for no reason suddenly made my head hurt I haven’t sprinted in a long time I felt my body It’s really slow Hey!

We already ran 1.5km Really?

Yo high five baby Yap Everyone, this is life Haah when does this end?

When does this end?

Haah You can stop when *you* decide to stop lol If you’re tired, that’s when you quit (Life Wisdom +1) How do I catch up to that person in front?

You stop running!

If you stop and stand still they’ll loop around and come back Exactly Everyone, we’ve already found happiness Ah this…!!

Ah this…!!

This is the charm of running Yeah, you’re getting runner’s high right now?

I am, totally Runner’s high!

Epik!

Epik High!

Let me get that… runner shot Are you doing the torch relay?

Do runners normally run like that?

I dunno, looks like a torch relay Talking nonsense Ah, Sean hyung contacts me regularly Blo, let’s run together Hyung!

Please continue running forward Whoa, isn’t that a Samoyed?

The one we saw in Tokyo?

Oh? Samoyed!

It’s a Samoyed!

It *is* a Samoyed, right?

Seeing a Samoyed for free again Beautiful dog!!!

Beautiful dog!!!

Thank you!

Oh over there!

(TATA is super excited seeing the approaching Samoyed) Ah that must be so nice Here it’s easy to raise big dogs like Samoyeds Big and pretty dogs like Samoyeds Raise a crazy dog too sometime I'm already raising one Be careful, this is the road!

Be careful! Careful!

(PD Lim’s sleeve grabbed again) You okay?

Are you okay?

Ah, that damn “kindness machine” Watch where the f!@k you're going!

Whoa, saw another Samoyed (Feeling lucky) I think I have something like that Like an attraction, that sort of thing Since I like Samoyeds, it keeps showing them to me The universe does Money Money!

Gold!

Why doesn’t the world show *me* that?

I like gold Wanna grab a hot dog?

There used to be one almost every block so I bought one every time If the hotel was 5 blocks away?

I ate five on the way Hey!

Thra! We already ran 1.8km Ah we ran too much! We’ll get hurt!

Why would you get hurt lol Hey now Let’s get a hot dog / It’s unhealthy Let’s go to the Apple Store Okay Let’s go to the hot dogs first!

Oh? For real

Wow, a real runner A real runner Pretending to run only when a real runner passes by Oh hot dog!

Hot dog!

Let’s go let’s go let’s go!!!

Yo~!

Of course, give us food and we’ll run That baby’s gonna fall like that He actually had so much stamina?

Hot dog, obviously They’ve got corn dogs and hot dogs We gotta eat hot dogs Hot dogs?

New York is hot dogs We’ll take five hot dogs And one pretzel One cheese pretzel please Thank you (Oliver Twist appears in certain intervals) Be careful Hey we ran over 2km (Crew: Wow~~~) Goal achieved Jeongsik, I really wanted to thank you It’s my first time doing something like this Because of you I finally understood the taste of run-ning(?)

Ah this (mic pressing) hurts Thanks Jeongsik Because of our Jeongsik hyung, we get to eat hot dogs So we just ran 2.1km Total calories burned: 155 kcal And this hot dog is probably around 400 kcal So we’re in the minus (awkward laugh) We’re in the red again today Our youngest Huh? But why is it so…

Huh? But why is it so… (First, a taste test) This slight simplicity of New York street hot dogs That minimalism It’s kind of like a piece of art It’s pop art, literally It’s good (soul leaving body) Can I be honest?

At my school’s events back then, I sold hot dogs, you know?

It tastes similar I’ll make it for you soon Wow, you’re good at that too? Grilling?

I make pretty mean hot dogs (We're waiting) Wow +_+ When will you make it for me!

(TN: Only Mithra's food disappears every time) But you didn't order one for me?

(Apple Store = Epik High's favorite haunt) Hey let’s go to Apple, Apple Hey let’s go to the Apple Store March in step~ Go!

Ha!

Two!

Three!

(Narrating for themselves) Three ajeossis are running toward the Apple Store Sniff Ugh, that ginkgo poop smell!

Ack! Ginkgo!

Ugh, ginkgo smell bro~ Ew Bank Now everyone, as you saw When you run in Central Park there’s too much to do So just walk around, honestly There’s a lot to see And lots to eat But if I can say one thing about Central Park Run only in the morning, or early afternoon Never come at night!

Why?

It’s dangerous!

When you visit America don’t wander around too much at night Now, Justin’s trip has successfully concluded Honestly it was better than I expected See? How wholesome it was?

See? How wholesome it was?

Yeah honestly it was fine And Tata Trip, as you all know Now that we’ve worked on our bodies we’re going to work on our minds That kind of thing next And Mithra ThTh Tour… You know how it goes His hipster friends said it’s good He’ll mobilize the entire New York foodie cartel and make us stand in line for 30+ minutes again Hey now we’re close enough to hear them

Fall back a bit I heard it, EC!

There it is!

There! The Apple Store!

Where’s the Apple Store?

There there there!

Ah, to middle-aged men, the Apple Store is like a church Pahahahaha It’s true For men over 40 “Honey! We went last week, why again?”

“Honey! We went last week, why again?”

“We went yesterday, why go again?”

Don’t say that It’s like a church for us Only when we go there we become one The only place the three of us can go to *together* at once!

The place that unites everyone He said it’s like a church lol (Our) world peace comes from there Dear Steve Jobs Please let there be something for me to buy today I’ve come to pay the tithe from the money we made in New York What useless little mouse will I buy today Ah, that’s the famous thing!

The one they made like a bag They’ve got money rotting away, literally Not sure if this is accurate, but When you’re doing construction you gotta cover it like that anyway Total ajeossi comment lol So it’s great promo for them Still young lol ThTh is still young lol (Here) he’s old One year apart lol What is that?

That’s a cool idea~ The two of them are on completely different shows lol No but that’s the promo, right?

Free advertising ㅈㄹㅎㄱㅈㅃㅈㄴ (TN: utter nonsense bs) What even is that (Justin Tour has concluded so we briefly came back to the hotel to prevent certain someone from turning gray) Hey Huh?

Let’s just cancel Tata Tour and ThTh Tour What?

I’m so spent after running Still, it feels good after running Huh?

There’s so much to see Asking if I like?

Yeah I Just Can't What is this I can’t do this anymore Again with this stuff… Ordering this sort of stuff again Just to get attention again It was a gift Buying stuff like “No More Email” from somewhere Why are you keeping me in check so much these days?

What do you mean check you?

You’re not even competition for me You’re kinda… Ever since you went on network TV / They’re fighting again, again But still, honestly, the fact that we came to a big city like New York ran in Central Park and got to do so many different things is probably thanks to companies like Trip.com, right?

Right These days a lot of people book their travels through Trip.com Flights, Hotels, Activities— You can book and manage everything all at once It’s super convenient Yeah, we booked our flights and hotel too with the perfect options that fit us exactly, right?

I think this might be the best hotel I’ve stayed at in New York?

And there’s something called a Price Guarantee for hotels If you booked in advance, and later find the same place with the same conditions at a lower price they compensate you for it With!

Trip Coins!

Oh?!

Trip Coins?

I’m putting my entire fortune into Trip Coins Let’s go!

Trip Coins?!

Let’s go!

Now the Tata Tour begins Looking forward to it I’m really excited Brace yourselves The New York you’ve seen until now wasn’t even New York What, Central Park?

Come on It was fun though?

Now I’ll show you the real New York Today again I wore an NYC hat because we’re in New York Peak simplicity Wear a Seoul hat when we go to Seoul lol Hey when we go to Busan, make sure to wear one that says Busan (TATA watching ThTh) Hey, you’re sleepy huh?

Sleepy lol Do my eyes look sleepy like yours right now?

Are my lips gray?

Should never have taken that nap Actually we just shouldn't have run so early I’m exhausted Who here has seen a Broadway musical?

No one / Not me I was debating whether to take you to a Broadway musical or an opera But that wouldn’t make you and Mithra suffer enough (?)

So I chose an activity that would torture you the most It’s an activity?

Yeah and It’s also a place with memories for me When I was in college When I worked as an assistant director on films, I went there often It’s where my heart, my inspiration was born I already don’t want to go As soon as you say “my heart and inspiration,” I don’t want to go You could even say it’s where my pretentiousness was born The birthplace of my heosae

But this place is like, you know, artists and writers and… Bob Dylan!

Bob Dylan Janis Joplin—people like them used to hang out here Tablo too?

Me?

I probably came too I… Following their footsteps?

Yeah, we’re following their footsteps right now We’re here, baby We here, yap Thank you~ Is this it?

My favorite bookstore in the whole world The Strand The only books I can read at an American bookstores are magazines Welcome No, this bookstore actually has a lot of history Like, to what extent?

During COVID, there was news that it was in danger, you saw that?

Yeah, I think I saw an article There was a “Save The Strand” movement, and I actually— I donated They raised some funds?

The owner here bought Amazon stock Oh wow, jackpot?

And when the Amazon stock suddenly skyrocketed they sold it then and saved the store, but— The fact that they survived thanks to Amazon Right, Amazon originally started as an online bookstore So the giant that devoured the bookstore market ended up saving this place—amazing This is the rare books section Does “rare books” mean books that are undercooked?

Yes, that’s right I personally like medium rare I like medium well-done Oh, you like well-done?

Yes Oh really?

(They're still partially napping) Wow Wow So what’s our mission here, then?

Okay Honestly, we barely read books No, I’ll read Korean books~ I read books~!

And you guys— when you’re on U.S. tours and stuff you say you’ll study English but then never do No, not this textbook-English—real live English No, if each of you pick one book I’ll buy it for you today Let’s buy the most expensive one then EPIKASE’s first long-term project!

Mithra and Tukutz reading a book in English!

Then I’m buying the most expensive one Should I look for the biggest one?

Oh this one looks really— Hey hey, that one’s expensive It’s a set This would look nice at home Wooow~~ I don’t know what book this is but it’s really old What is this?

Ringo what?

Ringo Starr?

If I buy another photo book again he’s gonna freak out again, right?

Ah this place—whenever I come here my heart feels calm It brings peace to my mind So I’d literally stay here like four hours at a time Buy me this What is it?

This isn’t even a book It is a book It’s a picture Everything sold at The Strand is a book No it’s not Picture books don’t count $2000 (approx. 2.9 million won)

$2000 (approx. 2.9 million won) lol hey Wow you’re calling a Picasso book a picture book lol No lol / Wow… (he got trapped) Isn’t this a picture?

Yo I already found mine What is it?

A picture book (TN: Clearly they are sharing a single communal brain) Ah come on lol (TN: Clearly they are sharing a single communal brain) Oh wow this is pretty (TN: Clearly they are sharing a single communal brain) We were literally just talking about picture books lol Look There are definitely fewer words What is this? A collage?

Ah~ of course~ Ah, a pro!

Oh, is it out?

Ah, we should do both Let’s go~ Yoohoo~~~ The bun here is… Mmm~!

It’s soft Huh? Is this cream cheese?

Huh? Is this cream cheese?

Sour cream?

It’s so soft it just melts away Wow, it’s really good But… The last time we had this, we were drinking So the memory is really good Have I been here before?

Yeah Me?

(Tata confused) When?

A long time ago We went to almost all the bars around here Bar hopping?

Yeah I came here totally wasted, right?

Yeah No wonder I had a bit of déjà vu I remember the smell here There’s a smell you get right when you walk in A smell I remember How drunk was I?

But we still ate and did everything and left?

Yeah We had so much energy back then, even bar hopping Now we couldn’t even imagine it Everyone Come here sober, no matter what You need to eat sober to remember the taste This is the hot dog flavor you’re thinking of No it’s not?

It’s insanely good I know hot dog flavors really well I’m the guy who eats hot dogs at CGV It’s a taste preference thing… kind of I like the ones they grill roughly The ones sold on the street I like the slightly burnt flavor With some grilled onions And some pickles — that’s my style This BLT one is crazy because the sausage is wrapped in bacon It’s so good

Ah… It’s an irresistible combo Bacon on a sausage?

They wrapped it with bacon You have to get the BLT It’s just a hot dog though?

I think it’s because you ordered just a plain hot dog?

This BLT is so good though What I had is a chili dog It’s a chili dog (Review Over) Okay again Shall I read a bit?

Ah, wait… my book… Please don’t sit on it Sorry, my apologies My precious book~ I brought it so I could read while eating here So hot Can't sit Taxi!

Hey, but you really… this… I’m telling you, it’s real Look Just look at Tukutz That’s just Tukutz What does that look like, job-wise?

Unemployed Here Totally different now, right?

IQ went up at least 400 points No no But he looks a bit like someone who stole the book Oh, then what about like this?

Now you look like someone pretending to read (facts) If you were single right now, yeah?

In your 20s?

And with this look, you’re walking around holding this Walking around here, right?

You, right here, now You wouldn’t even get 10 seconds down the street~!

(Fully immersed in the skit) “Oh~ I’m sorry, I’m sorry~” “I’m late for class right now,” saying stuff like that?!

But this is New York?

LOL “I'm late~” People are like, “Can I get your number?”

It’d be chaos with people saying that~ You’d even get scouted and all that, you’d— Business cards and, you know?

Street casting Yakult?

“Ever thought about becoming a singer?”

As for Mithra, well… If you walk around holding this book like this People will go, “Ah, a little… “Something’s missing up there…” LOL Like the local fool of New York New York street fool acquaintance Sseubaji LOL This is even funnier Huh, what’s this?

NYC New York sticker book!

You bought the perfect thing Ah, Eden really likes sticker books Ah right, I also really loved sticker books as a kid There’s this excitement… when you look at those stickers Why do kids like stickers so much?

All day they peel them off and stick them back on What’s really scary is If you peel off what they stuck on They remember how many they put on And where they put them 오~~ “Why is this one gone?”

Hey, at Central Park Zoo Do they have red pandas?

We should’ve gone earlier! Ah, what a shame I really love red pandas Really love them Really!

I’ve gotten older so I can’t see because it’s dark (eyes wide open) (Justin’s not here~) Hey, coming here kind of feels like coming to a hideout, doesn’t it?

That’s the kind of place this is (lol) The name of this place is “Please Don’t Tell (Don’t spread the word)” Ah, the vibe is nice~ The atmosphere here is so nice and all When we leave later...

My eyes lol What if we can’t even open them?

It’s so dark in here Hey Isn’t it so hard dealing with darkness when you get older?

I feel like I’m going crazy right now I can’t see anything (PD Lim failing to hold back laughter) Hey, isn’t it like you can’t see anything and can’t hear anything either?

Sorry?

I can’t hear you!!

Who is this?

This is the kind of place that’s worth coming to check out It’s kind of cool First of all, there aren’t many places where you can have hot dogs and drinks at the same time Right Another good thing is this whole area around here is full of bars Yeah yeah You can try all different kinds of drinks Yeah, it’s perfect for just getting 🌸 LOL You come, have a glass of wine Have a glass of beer

Have a glass of whisky Drink a cocktail here ~ And you’re done for Back when we were younger When we were a bit more bold We went here Went herex2 Went herex3 Went herex4 And we ended up here at the very end But...

But...

To call that “back in the day”… Didn’t you do that in Texas last year?

LOL (Shut up..)

(Shut up..)

I was like, “Oh, this must really be a place only people in the know can come to” but actually I was the only one who didn’t know (eye contact) (appearance check) (PD: Um, but...)

Huh?

PD Lim: Isn’t that side way so completely separated from you?

Ah, I’m going crazy right now (Tata) I’m coming out way too dark Am I the only one standing somewhere way too bright?

Ah, why are you so shadowy today?

Hey, why do I look so shadowy?

Huh?

Huh??

Did something bad happen?

Hey, it’s just me that’s really… Shake it off~ Have a drink and shake it off~ That’s enough now (Pushing into the darkness) Escape from the darkness (Having fun with just one light) Staff: Who ordered the IPA?

PD Lim: LOL. I can’t hear a thing (Gasp!)

(Gasp!) (You little punk~) No, every time we come here (New York), we’re always having bbq dinners We just go to Korean BBQ places and stuff So we came to a place we remembered as being pretty cool Ah, but I really liked it I knew there was something fun in New York And then it suddenly came to mind Only now it kind of feels like we’ve actually come to New York

Here we’re just getting a feel for the place Get a feel for it and then move on to somewhere else Yeah, we need to move on again (Did I hear that right?)

You’ve got good stamina~ Hehehe (Coco-nae-nae Justin) This baby is sleeping (Daddy’s not sleeping) Sir If you sleep here, your mouth will go crooked (Butterstein) Yeah, today’s ThTh Tour was also great To be honest, for me— Tata Tour was the most fun Oh really?

I enjoyed it Those pointless chats at the bookstore Personally, I liked ThThTour The hot dogs were so good Personally I really liked Central Park It was a bit disappointing we couldn’t ride bikes But it was still great Today’s ending feels perfect Ddararara~ la→la↗la↘la~
