EXO Showtime! Episode 2 Thoughts

I've already posted a journal yesterday, but I had to do this episode as well!

The Show opens up with a question : What does EXO do on their day off?
 Then comes out Tao, Kris, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, and Sehun.

The intro is nice, it gives me a warm feeling. This is the first time, as Baekhyun commented, that they went out in public like that since their debut. Chanyeol also has a fan call out his name out from a window as the pass by.  He has a very cute reaction and gets all flustered.

Its weird cause some people are just filming them with their phones as they do their business. The part where they recognize that Tao is gone, you can see a girl about 2-3 feet away just filming them. This sort of fan behavior is not new to me, but still strikes me as weird. Western fans of Western Artists usually run after the star, trying to touch them. However, this Korean fan seems satisfied by just filming their every move. I like this better, even though it is pretty weird to me. It shows a sort of respect for their favorite singer.

Tao gets lost and its so cute really. He was too busy looking at hats in a store while the others left him. I've been in that sort of situation before, I try to act normally, but my heart is getting to beat really fast and I'm nervous! I just got lost from the crowd! I bet he felt that way, at least a little. You can see it in the way he acts. Not to mention there are groups of fans outside the shop he is in. At least they look like they don't plan to attack him. The whole scene is very cute, the show is living up to what it said it would do: Show us EXO when they aren't on stage. These boys look so normal and cute, and are becoming more relate-able.

The cutest part is when D.O is singing along to the radio, seriously, but as the note pointed out "He is enjoying himself." He starts doing all sorts of things in the car but all I'm thinking is "Where's he going? Where's the others?"

Then we switch to Kai, talking to his his older sister on the phone. I'm assuming by "noona", they mean "older sister" and not an " older girl friend". He has two sisters, so I wonder which it is. Kai comments that he wonders if the kids will remember him. Being so busy on tours and being on shows, there's not a lot of time for seeing old friends and family.

Kai has babies?!?! The expression on his face of sheer happiness is adorable when he sees his puppies coming in.They are Monggu, Jjanggu, and Jjanggah. Then suddenly a wild Suho appears, where did he come from?! Maybe the scent of puppies brought him here (hehehe).

The next part, we see Chen skateboarding, who knew? Well, he's not so good at it and he can tell, so he walks off to see some people playing basketball.... with Lay?? I've always wondered how guys can act so natural when playing a sport, they can just walk up to random strangers and just play a game.. That's weird. It reminds me of my cousin. 

Lay, Luhan, Xiumin and Chen are all riding bicycles next. (Where do they get them from? I'm starting to think they pull it out of thin air..) Apparently they do this all the time, when no one is occupying the street. They enjoy being together and relaxing this way. 

"My mucus is coming out!"

We go back to the first group who arrived already at  the restaurant to eat Makchang, which is Korean pork intestine. Kris has been letting more loose than the last episode. I'm happy for that. This is their first time eating small and large pork intestines. The other members are just as suspicious as me when Kris begins to joke around. 

They are so impatient! Like little kids, they eat raw intestine. How troublesome for the poor waitress. They are making the restaurant look bad! They are super hungry. I've heard about usual diets for Hallyu stars and apparently they eat very little because of their busy schedules. So I don't blame them for their appetite.

"JIB to the GEH"

D.O is apparently the lone wolf in this episode watching a movie by himself. I wonder if he likes to be alone often. It gets awkward when you're alone. In that situation I don't know what I would do. Luckily, Kyungsoo (D.O) has a lot of playthings to keep himself entertained. 

That awkward moment when you don't know how to order at the confection stand..

Cheese Sauce, Cheese Sauce
I'm surprised at his ability to hold a Sprite cup with his mouth.

Well, I'm not going through the whole episode if that's what you were expecting!
I really love this episode, it's sort of slow but funny and with a lot of precious moments. You can start to relate to EXO. I'll definitely keep watching !

Here's the link to the episode with englsh subtitles, I can't seem to get the video on here.
