In the latest episode of the global K-food talk show BYOB, members Jacob, Kevin, and Eric from The Boyz opened up about their experiences and stories.

On the 25th, the fourth episode of BYOB was uploaded to the YouTube channel JohnMaat. Hosts Park Jun-hyung and Brian introduced The Boyz as “world class,” receiving a warm applause from the audience.

The conversation kicked off with a discussion about life in an 11-member group. When asked if they get along well, Kevin shared, “We sometimes fight. I think that’s healthy for the team.” Jacob chimed in, saying, “All the members are so nice that we’ve never had a big fight.”

The Boyz are gearing up for their comeback on the 28th with their 9th mini album, Fuse. They explained that this new album symbolizes “not following what others do and going our own way.” Eric even teased a performance of the album’s track “Bite Back,” creating a fun, K-Pocha (Korean-style pub) vibe.

Since BYOB focuses on Korean food, the conversation naturally turned to cuisine. When asked what dishes they would recommend to international fans, Kevin picked Kongguksu (cold noodle soup made with ground soybeans), and Jacob chose Saury Stew.

Eric mentioned his love for spicy ramen and even cooked some right on the show to share with the hosts.

They enjoyed it so much that they joked Eric should open a ramen shop. He responded, “That’s my dream!” which brought a lot of laughs.

The trio also took part in the special “Hot Challenge,” where they tried some spicy K-food. They managed to handle up to level three spicy dumplings, which contained capsaicin, while the hosts were left overwhelmed by the heat.

Keeping with the show’s theme of guests bringing their own drinks, Jacob, Kevin, and Eric brought whiskey. They chose dishes like spicy chicken stew and banquet noodles from the K-Pocha menu. Eric showed off his “big eater” skills by devouring an impressive 16 pieces of fish cake, a typical side dish.

BYOB is a global K-food talk show where hosts Park Jun-hyung and Brian act as K-Pocha owners, sharing amusing truths with guests in English. New episodes are released every Friday at 10 AM on the JohnMaat YouTube channel.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
