Trying Kpop 'IDOL SANDWICH' & Korean CONVENIENCE STORE GS25 Food Review! 

Cool story

"Kpop idols also used the sandwich to exchange numbers by unwrapping one side, sliding in their numbers written on a paper and giving it to someone." This. And for additional context for people unfamiliar with the kpop world - it's more than just attractive young people exchanging numbers. Dating while under contract is considered potentially career-risking (attitudes are loosening lately, but idols still try to keep it discrete). This is due to the perception that idols in relationships will ruin the personal fantasies of their most delusional fans, leading to reduced sales. I don't know if that actually happens, but the worry is so great it's actually written into their contracts - no dating. Senior artists near the end of their careers may get away with it, but not rookie groups. There are literally singers kicked out of the groups they were about to debut with for violating dating bans. But idols are human so of course they date, and this "sandwich note passing" technique is rumored as one way they flirt/hook up without the public's knowledge. It's also an annual tradition that the Korean tabloids "expose" a secretly dating famous couple every New Year's. It's so funny to me that in the west, celebrities will carry on very public yet fake showmances for publicity and clout, but in kpop they keep real relationships hidden.

@@atkim122 damn

@@atkim122 that's honestly so sad... and I thought that celebrities were treated bad in the west jkjk. But man, people gotta realize that celebrities are people too, and they deserve the same privacy rights as everyone else..

@@junew8133 then us the people need to act accordingly, it is fans and media that make this a problem. delusional fans and media. its all about the money making at the end of the day.

He has finally mastered the art of expanding his stomach at will.

😂🤣😂🤣💯💯💯

Omgeeeee i was literally just thinking about this!!

*Customs agent? (immigration officer)

Lol wholesome in a way

I was 888 like

You're here?😍

💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Instablaster.

stay safe and happy eating!

I swear he’s inspired many of us to try new foods, which is awesome. 😊

@@SMRCEC i want to try so much of these, but im from the UK and our food is basically as varietal as a prison, honestly. they have pretend under license Japanese products like instant ramen noodles pots etc, but are produced by companies in places like Bulgaria, which don't even remotely have the same fresh quality or complexity of flavour, and aren't at a reasonable price either.

💯💯💯😋🔥🔥🔥

Omg I have one in my fridge rn and I was confused by the flavor I will try that thank you, strange coincidence.... Oops I don’t have a drink I have an actual cup that he ate his first round, lol nvm

🤣😂🤣😂💯💯💯

Mind sharing the recipe?

tag me too! my favorite is the sinjeon ddukbokki recipe you can find on youtube, but im always looking for different ones :)

Recipe please

share the recipe 👉🏻👈🏻

I am so happy you like that delicious food. Make Kimbap on the side! (“Korean sushi” seaweed rice wrapped with veggies and pickled goods❤️) I love dipping that in tteokbokki sauce! And you can put any kind of meat/tofu and veggie in tteokbokki delicious

I actually came to the comments section to see if anyone thought the same as me, lol

🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣

Same but he could have used the other side of the spoon or a chop stick 😆

🤣😂💯💯💯

Aww that is so cute! How creative!

😂🤣😂🤣😂💯💯💯

Just saying it late but I don't think Park Jimin can relate to the Jam thing

Could be! And that's cool!😊

pretty good deal i think

Had me in the first half ngl

Dead af 😂

😂🤣😂🤣🤯

Like MRE ?

@@snap_fit8686 ew it’s basically that but 10000000000x better

@@snap_fit8686 nope it's different. during the Korean War, Koreans were starving. so they made the food using the remaining supplies of U.S. army. that's Korean Army Stew.

@@ksohee6910 mre is just Grab whatever goo we have and just bop it in an airtight bag and give it to the soldiers

@@williamlin1705 I *KNOW* what MRE is. Korean army stew is just one proper MEAL tho. that's the BIG DIFFERENCE

In my country too

In my too (Brazil)

In America we just need better 7/11

Lmao never gonna happen probably

they have GS Supermarket here but not GS25 and not that many south korean products too. just like other regular big supermarket that has imported products.

I would happily spend a month in gangnam alone

But don't have money to spend :(((

That could be said for any country.

He was in Korea for 3 months

@Devos Lemmens I had no idea the word infamous had a negative connotation... I thought it just meant famous for🥴 thanks for informing me 😊

@Devos Lemmens lol I was never unsure to even look up the word tho but I did take the time to look it up once you brought it to my attention

🤣😂🤣😂💯💯💯💯

🤣😂🤣😂💯💯💯

Nasty. just kidding

LMAOOOOO

😂🤣😂🤣😂

🤣😂🤣😂💯💯💯💯

I believe he has a lot of them. I mean Imagine if he staying in a country for a month. And pretty much recording every day.

He had enough to get him through the travel ban in March so who knows

💯💯💯💯👍👍

I wanted to yell at the screen that entire segment lol " just shake it!!!"

lol that's what I thought or he could've used the chopsticks instead of the spoon to stab the pudding. fkjahgkjhkgaj

me: SHAKE IT!!! SHAKE THE BOTTLE MIKE!

In his last vid, he said Korea was why he is trying to move to Taiwan for part of the year.

And Filipino Food...

I thought he already has a flat in Japan?

@@joshc.8167 never heard him say that

@@mewantsnax8885 in his last vid he said the best thing he had in Korea was at the Philippine restaurant lool

@akumma I gotta shoutout my own country's convenience store, Taiwan's 7-11 and family mart along with one or two others are comparable to Japan's too. I also heard Thailand's convenience store food are pretty good too! Mikey has done videos reviewing Japan, Taiwan and Thailand's stores too~

Korea, Japan & Taiwan sets the bar high for convenience store's standard

means im doing my job right 😛

😂😂😂

Onces?

@@Ziets The fandom name of the girl group Twice from Korea

Hahah yesss

Mike said it sounds cute. You're right, man. Dahyun, our dubu, fits the nickname so much.

ahhh, I see you are a man of culture

You can say that for every country, my favorites are Japanese, Indian, and Mexican food, but I haven't tried that much Korean besides Kbbq so there's that..

I love Korean food

@@AK-hr9pm if you like Mexican and Japanese you’ll 100% like korean. I guess it’s bolder/spicier than Japanese food but relatively similar! (Lots of Pickled foods/less red meat/rice as the base of the meal/etc)

Yes

Kinda of strange but it does kind of sound like Mike.

Mike moan

Yup

lmfaooooo

50 centers?

enjoy!

@@strictlydumpling Thank you!

Also SHINee's leader Onew!

thanks!

@@ark2819 yessir, taquitos be hittin

@@ark2819 lol fair my point is it’d sure be nice to have convenience stores like that

come to a uk convenience store, you might get food that is actually in date. but realistically its like a prison. low quality junk, and lots of alcohol.

especially the steak ones

everyone folds pizza lol im french

@@xx-zp4mj its a new yorker thing lol dont deel left out

absolutely everyone does not fold pizza, and buying pizza slices cold from a plastic carton is guaranteed horrible.

@@Dockhead ok but it started in new york, you can't exactly fold deep dish pizza.

Timestamp..?

@@joniicang8592 Thank you 😘

What

@Admiral Noob This person's attempt to throw an insult at me is so weak, Even infants would win in a fight with this guy.

Lol I love the drama too

Do San is so dorky and cute

Thumin here?! Holy feck-

I’m sorry. That ramen looked stunning.

I agree!

Like normal convenience stores around the world lol. Cash or card or cardless payment like kakaopay

Sort of true. There are other reasons for it, though. One of them being that convenience stores are a different beast in asian markets. They dont sell gas, so they need to pay attention to the quality of their products. People who are busy, dont know how to cook, live alone and/or may not have a good kitchen (super common for single folks) are all part of the demographic. The competition can be a little more fierce in certain countries too, pushing the need for quality. There is also just more of a standard for how everything is done, especially in countries like Japan. You see a much better work ethic in general and level of pride and care for everything that they do. That's not to bash us western folks, it is just the way it is!

Lol I literally laughed out loud at that.
