we'll each do our own thing, i'll just keep the live on
My commentary in green.
It looks like he turned on this live at all in response to the second Weverse comment he replied to (below)
He says almost nothing. Now I want jjajangmyun. jakd;lfjlafdjg;lajdfg and the main thing i kept thinking about during this live was how badly i want his shelves and/or idk where he is but i like these shelves...
- the way V is eating it, it looks like he's not dipping it in the sauce it comes with but just dipping it into the jjajang - which is also a great time~
- gets noodle in eyes [timestamp]
- usually i make a lot of noise while i eat noodles but because overseas/international people don't do that, [i won't] out of consideration
to clarify LOL - you should or shouldn'[t make a lot of noise in Korea depending on what kind of culture you'd like to abide...
proper Korean etiquette DEFINITELY does not allow for lots of slurpy/chewy mouth sounds - depending on context, this may definitely make you seem unrefined/slovenly (e.g., a staff dinner, a fancy wedding, a first impression in a professional setting, etc.)
but if you're at an auntie's house, if you happen to make a lot of noise while you're THOROUGHLY enjoying auntie's cooking (slurping soups, AHHHH-ing after sips of makkoli that hit just right, mMmm-ing after each bite of something, etc.) - those things would be considered lovable/showing a lot of appreciation for the good cooking
but i'm sure that similar context clues are true for all cultures
one thing to note for SURE though - is that Koreans find it VERY offensive/especially disgusting if you blow your nose at the table - it's just one of those culture things - so if you find you need to blow your nose, you'd likely excuse yourself for just a second, go to the bathroom to blow your nose before returning to eat together
- watching 'UNNATURAL' on Netflix (Japanese drama)

- aigooo = ooof/oh my goodness
this moment was likely Weverse HEARING Japanese "as" Korean and trying to translate that into English = a recipe for disaster; inaccurate
V only said "aigo" in Korean which is more of just a sound expressing a myriad of different things depending on context - kinda like tsk tsk tsk can sometimes mean judgment/disapproval but sometimes it can be used to express pity, etc.
- it kinda sounds like V says "futeki" (Japanese) for 'no match for.. /unable to defeat' but i do not understand what else is happening in this drama to know for sure if this is what he said or if he said something that just sounds similar~
- & then he repeats the character but idk what he says -_- (JAPANESE ARMY, if you'd like to contribute your interp/translation, I will include it!)
- sighs
- "they'll/you'll prob finish eating all [their/your] food right?"

ALSO...
In October, there were only 2 lives (Jimin & OT7, under V's account) and I have been working on the translations! But I'm trying to bring it to you in a new format and those subscribed to this site will have first access and I'll calibrate from there.
As always, I'll try to make content available for free as much as possible and your subscription is always much appreciated but you're welcome to cancel at any time. Some months, they've do so many lives or such long lives - other months, like October, they only do a few (like literally only Jimin & OT7) and I have no control over how often or how long they conduct their lives. I keep my subscription price at $3/mo so it feels accessible (but covers the fees it costs for me to even have this site) but September-October were challenging months for me re: speed! In my heart of hearts, I feel that because the months are imbalanced (sometimes super dense/sometimes very light), it feels like it evens out. But you are absolutely welcome to cancel your subscription any time, re-subscribe any time, etc. It's all automated, I don't keep track!
Thank you for everyone that has stuck around and continue to support me here and on social media through your reads/views/engagement.
Exciting things are coming but everything takes time - but I AM almost done so... hopefully I'll be able to share fun things soon! Thank you again for your time!
Take care,
TK
