Mingyu, Joshua missing Korean dramas

Mingyu and Joshua talked about their favorite Korean dramas in Manila, the Philippines.

Mingyu kicked off the broadcast in his hotel room after Seventeen’s Manila concert. Wearing black-horned spectacles and a casual hoody, he said, “I just took a nap before dinner. I hear some staffers laughing outside my room. They are hyped because the show’s finished. Our members are resting in their own rooms.”

In the midst of talking with fans, Mingyu was interrupted by Joshua, who stepped into his room to join the broadcast.

They talked about dramas they have watched recently. Mingyu said he has been watching romantic drama “Crash Landing on You,” featuring Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, as well as “Itaewon Class,” featuring Park Seo-joon.

Joshua said that he has been watching drama series “Chocolate,” adding that it makes him cry all the time.

“I should watch episodes I’ve missed when I go back to Korea. I can’t wait for it,” said Mingyu.

Seventeen is currently on a world tour. Its remaining shows through March have been canceled due to concerns about a coronavirus.
