“Oh, yeah, that’s the video You just have to watch that” Gil-Duk’s voice overlapped with his video
Chi-Woo blinked and asked, “Okay, I understand that you were introducing yourself, but why the heck did you call yourself ‘dirty, dirty, lovable boy’?”
“It’sHow is it? Isn’t it funny?”
“I don’t know about that, but it sure sounds dirty”
“It’s not dirty but lovable”
“If I was a viewer, I would want to turn this video off as soon as I hear this greeting,” Chi-Woo said, and the video continued
