like a teacher back then too so people were like teacher what is in your mouth yeah like people were freaking out and i was like okay wow i took it out they have to sit like this so we are just chilling before going online we always have our second cup of coffee after the rehearsal get extra jacked up on caffeine put a little bit of soju in our coffee what just kidding what i'm so surprised how many bottles of soju um it's not like a bottle person but like really a problem actually we also were dancing wow everything that's how you know we're like and they're because anyone that doesn't drink a lot like wouldn't have to do that maybe you really do have sodium right there rachel i never knew that was that was my last picture oh like when it hit midnight i was like put it down so before that like when they were doing the countdown thing i was like cold so far that was me you're like no but that's the thing is usually february should be the sober month because it's the shortest month of the year but january is smarter this year because of social distancing yeah there's nothing going on so i thought it might be easier this is the best time to do it and then hopefully by february things will open up again and then you can like after 9 pm restaurants please going on live really soon so we got our ingredients ready we got some cheese and kimchi too and now we are counting down the live show let's do this go hello i wish i had drums i'd give you like a drum roll the one and only rachel came in the house a-k-a aka the master chef today wow set these out because

up subscribe [Music] jealous [Music] all right let's go [Music] ah it's so cold today it's freezing and i am loving this this is hand warmer and it's keeping my hand warm and i am on my way to get the piercing i am nervous should i get nervous because first time when i got this one it didn't hurt but i heard this part that i am thinking of right now can be more hurtful this is like level two so wish me luck this is my favorite cafe in hongdae because it's so pretty look at the flowers inside but as you know cafes are open but takeouts only this is where you can see people dancing and singing from the outside because all these are dancing rooms singing rooms but they're closed now it's not because of the hour but it's because of the covid we still have the christmas tree here it's launch hour now so there are more people on the street than i expected [Music] i changed my words there are not a lot of people to be really honest with you i've never seen on the street being this empty okay i just arrived at my piercing store ah nervous let's go in [Music] okay i just put the paint cream on my ear it's gonna numb the paint and i have to wait for like 40 minutes to two hours so we got some time it's around 2 p.m and i haven't had lunch yet i mean i made kimbap and i had little pieces but i'm hungry and while we are killing some time let's grab some lunch and after lunch it's piercing time i am not really nervous because the last time i did it for the first time it didn't really hurt because i also put the cream there so this time i shouldn't be as worried i'm just gonna enjoy my lunch and come back here i don't know what i will get though what should i get i don't know maybe sushi yeah sushi let's go i see nachos in here let's go here okay pretty hungry let's go in [Music] so we've got the food here put some masala into my soy sauce [Music] [Music] [Music] okay i finished my food now it's time to head on over to the piercing shop and get my ears ears i mean my ear pierced finished lunch it was really quiet in there so i really couldn't talk and there was music in the background so i was singing along while i was eating but copyright so i cannot put any audio there but just know that i enjoyed eating alone experience i've been doing that a lot recently eating by myself am i nervous am i nervous no i am not more like excited there's another journey shop let's go in i was i've been looking for some rings oh yeah right here [Music] i decided i'm gonna get this one for my index finger oh it's not focused oh it's not focused all right this one i got my rings now let's go i like it i wanted to get one more for my fourth finger wedding ring not wetting because winning ring is for your left hand so for this one i wanted to get another one but i couldn't find the one and the bits on my finger they were either too big or too small or i didn't like the design so maybe one at a time now i arrived i'm getting another one here right around here and there is no turning back i'm gonna just have to go in okay let's go let's do this don't be afraid i'm going in wish me luck ah all right [Applause] i was super nervous my heart was pounding i knew it wasn't gonna hurt it didn't hurt but i was so nervous but ta-da i like it it's butterfly shaped now that i finished the biggest homework of the day i'm gonna just look around hongdae what's here there's a fashion store that i've been wanting to check out so we're gonna go there i was so nervous after getting it it's not cold anymore i'm actually warm is it me or do you guys think my actual earring here is barely noticeable now because this one this new one is so shiny and sparkly it's so cold and my eyes are watery so this is hongdae homemade university and we are about to cross the street very randomly find the bps in front of a harvest i thought some of you are needs out fair love this [Music] i randomly found this pink bus place matches with my hair i found it stylanda there's pink pool cafe upstairs [Music] [Applause] [Music] there are many fashion stores around here this place is called some days let's check out their style so that was something else i went in there and there are like four people four girls and they were all filming vlogs and they were just explaining the clothes so that was a little bit awkward so i came right out well yeah this street this whole street is really fashionable oh can you guys see the sky is still blue but it's getting definitely it's getting darker and i guess now it's time to go back home where did i come from ah guys i'm lost [Music] i'm really bad at reading the direction i gotta check the map so i'll come back to you bye okay we are back on track because i remember seeing the tree before so i'm safe now i don't know what it is but i cannot really i cannot go anywhere without looking at the map and the gps i don't know how people did it back in the days oh it's one thing no one of the many other things that i am not good at but it's okay i'm gifted in other ways since we are here i'd be curious about one other place i don't know if they are open but and i have to walk a little more but it's a friday place fries place and i've been hearing that it's pretty good so maybe i'll pick up something well obviously um there's no hall service until we come back down to phase one at least look at this it's starbucks literally there's nobody uh cafe days are over for now hopefully things get better soon it's been way too long so this is hongdae park and it's now restricted this is like the place where people meet and hang out so it makes sense i found the place [Music] now it's time to go home wow it just got really dark i didn't even wait that long [Music] dinner time okay today's menu is this big fat kimari fried shrimp king size and this is my favorite very spicy taki okay bone apple tea [Music] giant i've never seen a kimori that is as big as this one but this place is popular i've never tried this before yeah let's cut this in half because i'm curious what's inside wow there is skinny right in the middle focus all right i got this camera too there's skin nib right in the middle and there's glass noodles and kim seaweed is wrapping around it and the whole thing is fried kimari is actually seaweed glass noodle seaweed roll i feel like today's whole theme is kim my last name is kim okay let's cut this nicely let's try this as it is mmm still crunchy and the glass noodle inside is sweet what i really wanted to do was dipping it in the stompuki sauce i always dip the fries into my tapuki sauce because toki the sauce is magical it goes well with everything okay i wrapped around my kimari with this fish cake almo here we go for some reason i'm doing twice in a row no this morning i did it too three times our charm oh i gotta i gotta try this ah look how big this is this is almost as big as my face nah it's not true okay kinda all right the shrimp is really big it is the king size okay now with the cookie sauce this is better the sauce goes well with everything um so this is the instruction of the piercing that i got you know what there's a reason why i got this today here it says you need to avoid drinking for at least one to two weeks minimum and you guys know that i am doing silver january so i was like if i'm getting it and now is the time because i am adding another purpose to the slower january so yeah i am glad that i finally got this it's here it's very noticeable i think it's way more sparklier than than my urine here and this one too i gotta take care of it well so that i don't get haloid alright last bite this is actually a really big bite so i'm gonna make it bigger let's go in [Music] the fries here is really good i recommend you to get it um the shrimp one it was just a big fried shrimp but the game changer is this big humari yeah i'm gonna get some strawberries now and call it a day whoa late night workout let's get it let's go oh my god i didn't know it was snowing [Music] wow this is winter wonderland and i am the first person it's snowing like crazy and there is a car having a hard time getting up on the hill wow it's snowing a lot i mean even in december i never i didn't see snow this much it feels like christmas not only this christmas cars are struggling i hope there's no accident today wow today i'm literally gonna be a snowman already it's piling on [Music] [Music] it's all winter wonderland in seoul korea i'm so glad that today it snowed because i got to show you guys how beautiful it is and as you can see i am a
