    On a more serious note: did anyone know about this? I’m pretty sure it’s legit, but I actually haven’t checked out the official site yet. If it’s indeed legit, anyone else interested in participating? My goodness. I wonder who the K-celebs are gonna be, but even if it’s like a nugu celeb, I’d be ecstatic just being able to BE in South Korea in the first place! Omg. This sounds like an amazing opportunity for all K-pop/drama/culture fan.

      I do think this one’s legit. I’ve seen it too on FB and even YT has the video submissions already. Though the ones I’ve seen has the girls speaking Korean. Their accent is good too! Good luck @chingu! Beanies have your back! 🙂

        Darn, competition! Haha.

        That’s good to know. I figured it was since there are some big names attached to this project. Aw, thank you, thank you, kaye! If I get on the show, we’ll come up with a signal and I’ll give you a shout-out! Pwahaha. I need to stop talking as if I’ve already won. Lawl.

    The idea of actually doing that is sure exhilarating, but I am way too self-conscious to be on TV. Wouldn’t survive the cringe.
    But hey, go for it! We might get an inside scoop on the industry from you later on. 😀

      Me too, tbh, but like you said, it’s an exhilarating idea and sounds like a lot of fun. I’d cringe to see myself on TV afterwards, for sure, but man, if I can really become part of this, it’ll be something oh-so-special. It’ll also be my big break! Haha. Jk. Oh and yes, trust me, unless I have to sign a confidentiality waiver, I’ll spill ALL DA BEANS!

    Are you applying? It seems to start before the closing date and does it mean you pay for flights yourself.

      I think I will, yes! Since they’re allowing groups of families, I’m gonna see if my family’s interested in participating, and we’ll just all have a sit down and record our submission together.

      I’m kinda confused about the dates, too, but someone mentioned that it’s probably because this was a last minute decision and since it was last minute, they had to extend the deadline. It’s weird, but I guess we’ll find out eventually.

      I actually haven’t thought of the travel expenses, since I just assumed they’d fly the winners out. Oh, it better be covered!

        Go for it! Which celebrities would you like to stay with?

          Kyaaaaaaaaaahhhh~!

          What a fun question! DEFINITELY Kim Go-eun, because she’s my favorite Korean actress and I’d love to be able to meet her, get to know her, have her sing for me, and just be able to tell her how talented and beautiful I think she is and how excited I am to see her continue to grow as an actress and tackle many more projects in the future.

          Hmm… I have a feeling the celebs are gonna be idols, rather than actors, and I don’t think popular celebs would be part of this, BUT, I’d love to be roomies with Park Bo-gum (I HAVE to witness his Angel Boy image irl to see if he’s really the sweet lil’ cinnamon roll that everyone claims he is. Pft, I’m sure he is, but still).

          I could list a bunch of my faves, but I’m gonna try to think of people that I’m familiar with their rl personalities and think we’d get along well. There’s IU (she seems nice and I’m a fan of her as an musician), Park Bo-young (she also seems like a sweetheart), Yoo Jae-suk (my mom loves him and Running Man, so this would make both of our dreams come true, haha), Kim So-hyun, Kim Yoo-jung, Kang Ha-neul, Kim Seul-gi, Kang Ki-young, Yoo Inna, Yoo Seung-ho, Yook Sung-jae, MAMAMOO, AKMU, Park Ji-min from 15&, Hyeri or Minah from Girl’s Day, Park Hae-jin (I’ll tell him about @azzo1, haha!), Lee Hyun-woo, Kim Soo-hyun, Lee Seung-gi, Ha Ji-won, Song Hye-kyo, and Kang So-ra. I’m forgetting a bunch more, but yeah, pretty much any of those people! Haha.

            Wow. That’s a good long list. I’ve been seeing stuff about Hyori’s home stay on DB – she’d have enough room but I think that’s in Jeju. I’d be interested in the locations. You know if you could stay in that place with the lion statues in Coffee Prince or the Jade Garden in Moorim School, the house in Secret Garden.

            Oh man, if I could enter I would want them to deposit me in Kim Eun-sook’s house. I don’t think I’d want a tv celebrity because appearing on tv with my hijab would be tres awkward. And what if it was a male celeb, no thank you. I would follow Kim Eun-sook everywhere and read all her manuscripts. In fact, if I could just be her assistant the whole time I was there, I would be extremely happy.

            OMG!!! I’ll root for you and if you get chosen and get to meet my Oppa (😭💔) act cool, don’t worry, I’ll tell him about you and to take really good care of you! And you know what, I might pop up there, just casually pay a visit!

            Lol, @azzo1! I was confused for a second, asking myself, “What’s she talking about?” But yes, of course you’ll be the one to introduce me to your Oppa, not the other way around. Haha. Thank you, dear! So kind of you to look out for me. I think Hae-jin oppa would be a really nice and welcoming host. I’ll look forward to seeing you there, too! Haha.

            @rushda29 Wow, I actually kinda wanna see that happen–you being plopped right into Kim Eun-sook’s house and being her assistant. Oh man, the thought of it even excites me, for you! Haha. To get a glimpse into her personal and work life, along with how she concocts all these ideas for dramas sound pretty awesome, ngl.

          Haha, ikr? Which celebrities would you like to be roomies with/be your Seoul mate?

          Yes, I believe Hyori’s home is indeed in Jeju, which is also another place I’d love to visit.

          The lion statues you’re talking about was in Lee Seon-kyun’s character’s house, right? Haha. Would love any of those settings! I’d love to try living in a rooftop room, too!

          1
          1

            I was thinking of a rooftop room but there are quite a few so it would be hard to narrow it down. Let’s think. There’s Louis and Bok-shil’s place but there’s been a scary visitor. Gong-shim’s but it had a leak. Han-kyul’s but it’s more like a regular apartment.

          Haha, you’re right–all the rooftop rooms seem to have major problems at least once! Eeep!

      I guess they want people with entertainment value so they’ll want to check them out.

        Yeah… One kind of entertainment value doesn’t mean another though. So many people will enter this though. And there’ll be try hards doing it all in Korean or something as well.

      Me too, but hey, if I win, it’ll be worth it. And I’ll have to show my face on the show, anyways. Haha.

      1
      1

        It’s not showing my face on the show I’d be worried about, it’s that I’m awkward as heck on my own in front of a camera when I know it’s for something like this and I speak weird when I know I’m being recorded like that.

        3
        2

          Ohhh, haha. Aw, you can always jot down some ideas and write up a script so you know what to say, rehearse a few times until you sound natural, and then hit record! Just a thought! 🙂 Or wait to see how all this turns out and watch it when it comes out. Haha.

          1
          1

          Now we’re talkin’! Yeah, exactly! That’s what I’m gonna do. I already know what I’m gonna talk about, but I’m definitely gonna jot down some notes and ideas to prepare so it’ll be neat and organized. But since we’re the Procrastination Pros, who knows when we’d make it happen. We’ll see~~~

            I’m a pessimist so I probably won’t even do it…

    About the shooting schedule, don’t you think they mean that it’s late Aug-Sep 2018? That would explain a lot. They need time to sort through all the applications and rope in all the celebs after all lol.

    It sounds like it’d be the most awkward thing ever just watching this show, but also like it would be a fun and extremely unique way to experience South Korea. I’m sure I’d be super selfconcious and end up goofing around like a crazy person while checking my reflection in the mirror for the umpteenth time to make absolutely sure there’s nothing in my teeth while forgetting that the cameras are filming checking myself in the mirror lol. Hence, I will NOT be applying 😛

    I wonder if the celebs will be chosen based on Eng skills or the guests on their Korean? Or will there just be an interpretor and everyone can just be extra awkward? 😛

      OooOOooo000OOooohhhh! THAT makes a LOT of sense! Yeah, okay, there ya go.

      it would be a fun and extremely unique way to experience South Korea. YES! Exactly, exactly! I’d cringe before, during, and after watching myself on the show (that is, if I even watch the final product), but unless I goof up real bad, I’d secretly love being was part of this.

      Haha, I’d probably check myself every five minutes, too, but I’d hope that someone would be attentive and kind enough to tell me if I had something on my face or like, corn in my teeth, rather than letting me go all day w/o telling me (that’s happened before–I came home from school and my sisters were like, “Uh, you have some corn in your teeth,” and I was, “WHAT.”). I’m most likely gonna apply with my family, so at least I’ll have some trustworthy and dependable peeps with me. Haha.

      I’m assuming there’ll be interpreter(s). While it’ll be helpful for both parties if the guests had some Korean-speaking skills and vice versa, I don’t think that’s too much of a factor since they’re explicitly calling for non-Koreans. That’s actually one of the reasons why I’m so hyped about this. Haha. It’s like, just calling my name! Now I’m wondering if all the traveling and living expenses will be covered, but I’m thinking it is since this is like a contest, so it’d make sense to fly the winners out for free.

    What about the language barriers tho??

      I’m sure they’ll be interpreters to help you and your Seoul mate communicate since they’re explicitly inviting non-Koreans, so no worries if you don’t know Korean!
