Eric Tweets His Spy Myeongwol Character

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Wherein Eric argues with self. Because why not, really? Eric is one of those stars known for being off-the-wall (he's pretty infamous for being a 4-D Hallyu star), and it seems he's outdone himself this time, creating a twitter account for his Myung-wol the Spy character Kang-woo, and then tweeting back and forth as Eric and Kang-woo. Yeah. He's that loony.

The conversation goes a little like this:

Kang-woo: Eric-sshi, do you know who I am? I didn't think you'd know... it's me, Hallyu star Kang-woo.
Kang-woo: So Eric-sshi does know who I am. Ah, is a Hallyu star's existence something the whole country knows?
Eric: Shut up, you ass. I don't like you, starting with the way you look.
Kang-woo: The way I look... they say I look like you. What do you think? But don't you honestly think I'm a little better?
Eric: Arrogant bastard... Sucker, go braid your hair!!! Are you at least eating, Hallyu star? Pfft.
Kang-woo: I don't have time to eat because I'm so busy...
Eric: Don't eat. Go shoot [your fake drama-in-drama] Assassin. Han Ye-seul, Fighting!
Kang-woo: Eat well too, Eric sunbae-nim. I'll follow you. Especially because you look like me.





girlfriday: Hey, have you seen this Eric tweet? It's fucking hilarious.

javabeans: OMG I'm reading it now. Why is he so... ??? It defies words. What a nut.

girlfriday: A complete loon. Hey, the fifth tweet down, how would you translate that slang?

javabeans: Er... well, the second part literally means to...braid...the...hair? The first part is like "sucker..."

girlfriday: Sucker braid your hair?!

javabeans: Hahaha. Sucka, go braid your hair! Why is Eric SO WEIRD?

girlfriday: I don't know, but I LOVE IT.

javabeans: I love that he's writing in character, replete with appropriate jondae. Kang-woo's being polite to his sunbae and Eric's all pissy to the poseur.

girlfriday: Yeah. Like Eric's the actual top-star, and Kang-woo's the wannabe top-star.

javabeans: Hee hee. I'm giggling at his gripe over Kang-woo's looks. It's like in the pre-broadcast Myung-wol interviews where he was like, "I'm a lot like Kang-woo. First off, I look like him."

girlfriday: And his send-off, like "go shoot your little fake drama, asshole." HA.

javabeans: To which Kang-woo dutifully replies, all respectful, "Ah yes, sunbae. I will do so, sunbae. I will follow you, sunbae."

girlfriday: It's like a meta-mirror funhouse. I like that he begrudgingly looks after his hoobae too, all "are you eating?" like a mom.

javabeans: But it's taunting, "cause he adds, "...you Hallyu star" in a mocking way.

girlfriday: Like he's patronizing the little wannabe. Hee.

javabeans: Well, the pipsqueak DID introduce himself as "It's me, Hallyu star Kang-woo!"

girlfriday: I love how that's become such a universal joke. "I'm a Hallyu star!" = overblown ego the size of Jupiter.

javabeans: Gah, now I want Eric to cameo on Myung-wol. Er. I mean, Eric to play Eric playing a cameo on Myung-wol.

girlfriday: OH MY GOD, my head would implode from the awesomeness. And the rift it would cause in the space-time continuum.

javabeans: This is how we know it is a good idea.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

lmao he's crazy but i love him. his Kangwoo character is being such an ass atm though, can't believe he even salpped poor Myungwol ); I hope he starts liking her soon.

also I want more of these tweets soon!

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

slapped*

[fate-otaku.livejournal.com]

I think he does already like her. He's being 'cruel to be kind'. :(

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

I think he likes her for protecting him and being nice to him but not the same kind of like she is feeling for him just yet. I can't wait till he does, and when he admits he does!

[fate-otaku.livejournal.com]

naah, I still believe that he does like her, he just doesn't realise it or thinks it as admiration for his saviour. /stubborn. AHAHAHAH I wonder how he's going to confess in the later episodes?

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

Whoever's behind the Kangwoo twitter said they're not Eric tho.

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised. When does the Korean media actually do research before writing an article?
Oh well, it's still funny that he tweeted "Kangwoo" :P

[chloe1910.livejournal.com]

Oh.

yeah, I agree that though Kangwoo twitter account might not be Eric, it's funny how he tweeted him back. Maybe Eric's friend or someone from the production team?
