Yep. (SIGHS) 939 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,880 But, overall summary, we were shit. 940 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,560 I got overconfident 941 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,920 and then we did it outside in the dark and I got thrown. 942 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,120 Yeah. I felt like a fox in the day. 943 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,240 It turns out you can't master a tightly choreographed dance routine 944 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,840 by watching it on an iPhone 945 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,080 seven minutes before you're due to do the performance. 946 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,280 That was one of the worst 45 seconds of my life 947 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,640 and I've been caught masturbating. Yeah. 948 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,000 By the way, 949 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,240 don't ever let me catch you again. Sure. 950 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,960 But what have we learned about K-Pop? 951 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,360 We know that it's slick vocals... Yeah. 952 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,920 Incredible choreography... Yeah. 953 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,000 Presentation, style, all of that. Yeah. Youth. 954 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,400 Youth. Nothing we've got. 955 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,960 And the fact of the matter is 956 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,320 it doesn't matter what process we went through this week, 957 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,360 there's nothing they can do that will make us 19-year-old Koreans. 958 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,840 As much as we want it. So in many ways, 959 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,000 the whole thing was pointless. As much as we want it. 960 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,760 But look, we've learned a bit about K-Pop 961 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,400 but there was no way that we were gonna become a K-Pop band.No. No. 962 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,360 But I feel like I understand the phenomenon now. 963 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:07,800 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 964 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,000 It's great, K-Pop. So, in that way, mission achieved. 965 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,400 Yeah. Well done. But if y- 966 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,880 Another case solved. Yeah. 967 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,080 Turns out, we spent a week here, what we discovered is 968 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,760 it helps if you wanna get into K-Pop if you're young and Korean. 969 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,360 Rom, I think the trip's gonna go up a level. 970 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,600 We can go and eat there, chicken and beer. 971 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,320 Chicken and beer?
