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 Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
