─Wow, it’s been a while since we’ve had proper Self-Content instead of just behind-the-scenes!
─I was expecting something, but it’s full of flirting right from the trailer, lol!
─Looking at No. 1 Do-hee, No. 2 Chiyo, No. 3 Woo-ah, No. 4 Seo-yoon, and No. 5 Na-eun, it’s clearly in order of age, haha!
When the fans saw the trailer go up, even though they were disgusted by the absurd gray monk outfits instead of the typical handsome and beautiful match-up programs you’d expect to see on OTT platforms…
─I’ve gotten used to girl groups doing dating shows, but why are they parrying with pairs, lol?
Of course, there was already a hot response about how fun it would be.
But as always, outside of the fan community, there was some snarky commentary.
─So blatant, it’s ridiculous!
─Lol, they’re going to act out “We’re totally into each other” for sure!
─I’m worried it’ll be awkward!
This was because some parties were trying to stir things up.
In fact, this was just a meticulously planned project considering the entire team’s activities since actual content had been delayed for a while.
Despite that, most fans had a corner of belief.
‘As long as they film Self-Content, our kids will definitely do well!’
Or…
‘They’ll prove it with views anyway!’
And the content that came out was exactly that.
[Best Friends - The Meeting of Five Girls Wanting to Find Sweet Partners]
*
[Tolstoy said, “For the sake of finding a kind friend, even a thousand miles is not far.” In other words, we all have a deep yearning that can endure any hardship to have a close friend.]
In a beautifully manicured courtyard of a traditional Hanok.
[Now, the journey for five girls to find their best friends begins.]
A soft-spoken narration began from a female voice in her 40s.
[The first person to arrive at Friendship Village is No. 1.]
With cheeks rosy in excitement, Do-hee was spinning in place, her face beaming with anticipation.
[Crossing Excitement and Tension]
─No. 1 kinda looks like a celebrity;; Who’s that pretty girl?
[Q. What kind of person…
No. 1 (Do-hee): Well, someone who can push me just a little? I tend to fall for everyone at once, so I’m not really attracted to anyone.]
─Lahi, I’m already super satisfied with today’s entertainment, lol!
Just as Do-hee started jabbering nonsense again, No. 2 (Chiyo) stepped into the courtyard.
[Next girl arrived.]
Do-hee stood up, greeting her warmly with a handshake.
[No. 1 (Do-hee): Uh, hello!]
[No. 2 (Chiyo): …Hmm.]
But all that comes back is a dull response.
[Shuffling...]
As Do-hee excitedly intertwined her fingers watching Chiyo rummage through her bag,
[No. 1 (Do-hee): Oh, did you bring a gift?]
And then, Chiyo slapped something onto Do-hee’s clothes.
[No. 1 (Do-hee): Huh…?]

[Warning: 1 count accumulated]
A warning sticker worthy of a traffic sign.
[No. 2 (Chiyo): I dislike skinship.]
[Girl No. 2 has a personality where she sticks warning stickers when someone does something she doesn’t like.]
─Oh damn, lol, Kim Chiyo really nailed her concept today again.
─Do-hee was so excited though, ㅠㅠㅠ lol, that silly rabbit face is cute.
─What is this, an elementary school kid with a sticker, lol.
Leaving the haughty Chiyo with her arms crossed behind, we see a flabbergasted Do-hee’s interview.
[Q. What do you think…
No. 1 (Do-hee): Still, this girl seems tough. I’m kind of attracted to her after a long time.]
─Attracted, what’s attracting, lol.
─It’s gonna be a rollercoaster from the start, for real, lol.
Thus, the two sat down.
Do-hee’s flirting, conscious of being a pro, continued.
[Do-hee: Well, you can’t get it all right from the start, right?]
Chiyo’s concept too.
[Warning: 2 counts accumulated]
─Haha, lol, Chiyo’s concept today is killing me.
─Now, Do-hee silent not to get a warning is even funnier, lol.
Meanwhile, a new figure began to appear on the screen.
[Just in time, Girl No. 3 appears]
Dressed in all white, Woo-ah.
─What’s up with Woo-ah today, her face is all smiles, lol.
─Her outfit matches really well today.
─She gives off a sunny girl vibe, lol.
[No. 1, No. 2: Hello!, Nice to meet you.]
[No. 3 (Woo-ah): Ah~ Looks like only kids who don’t listen are here?]
Woo-ah quickly delivers a cutting remark.
But even in that state, someone was laughing and pointing at the smiling No. 3.
[No. 1 (Do-hee): No. 2, we should give her a warning too, right?]
Do-hee, all excited at the thought of No. 3 getting a warning sticker.
[No. 2 (Chiyo): I don’t like it when someone randomly judges me. I actually really liked No. 3 though!]
I don’t really like being judged. But I totally adore No. 3!]
[No. 3 (Woo-ah): Oh my, thank you~]
The warning sticker was directed at Do-hee.
[No. 1 (Warning 4 times): ……]
─Oh no, when did it become three stickers while I wasn’t looking? lol
After a brief seating swap, Do-hee moved from Chiyo’s side to sit next to Woo-ah.
[Still awkward since it's our first meeting...]
[No. 3 (Woo-ah): Oh, but you’re really beautiful!]
[No. 1 (Do-hee): Ah… Really? No. 3, you’re super pretty too!]
[The two try to ease the atmosphere with compliments]
But in the midst of their friendly chatter, Chiyo’s face was zoomed in on, like the odd one out.
Naturally edited scene.
Waiting for the next person, Woo-ah and Do-hee sport new stickers.
[No. 1 (Warning 5 times): How many stickers did you bring??]
[No. 2: Still plenty!]
─The editing is ridiculously great lol
─Chiyo getting warnings for not being included alone is hilarious lol
Soon, No. 4 enters, bouncily leaping in with a feminine style…
[No. 4: Hello… ]
She stopped, tilting her head while pointing at Do-hee.
[No. 4 (Seo-yoon): But is that fashion? Quite unique!]
[No. 1: (snarky) You think it’s fashion?]
[No. 4: …But why are you walking around like that?]
Do-hee pointed her finger to the side.
[No. 1 (Warning 6 times): See?]
[No. 2: Pointing at someone above you? Very rude! Always be polite and respectful, got that? aka Land of Etiquette.]
[No. 4: Ah~]
[What a rare moment to hear No. 2 actually make sense]
─Is Seo-yoon accepting it so easily? lol
─Am I the only one laughing at Do-hee with six big stickers slapped all over her? lol
─These days, it’s hard to tell if Kimchi is truly Korean or Japanese.
└Must be a Japanese guy then?
└For real;
Anyway, after that, it was time for No. 5 to appear.
[Now, all that’s left in Friendship Village is the final contestant.]
[No. 5 has a kindly impression that makes you smile just by looking at them.]
With a perfectly proper gait, Na-eun entered politely.
[No. 3: Here she comes.]
[No. 4: She’s really pretty.]
[No. 2: Oh my, oh my…!]
[No. 1: Oh my, is that me?]
[Participants buzz with excitement at her appearance.]
─ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is Na-eun the queen pick? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─Seriously, La-hee, oh my, is that really me? Isn’t that too much? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Anyway, everyone is gathered in the Friendship Village.
[PD: Today, the selected partners will receive an overnight vacation voucher from the representative, along with a chance to take a Friendship photo card pictorial.]
With reasons to pair up.
─Oh my, debonaire official couple
─Photo card bonus ㄷㄷ
The interview scene began to unfold.
[Q: What was your first impression of the girls before entering Friendship Village?]
Members seriously picking their top impressions as if they came for a matchmaking event, with not a single playful face in sight.
[No. 3 (Woo-ah): No. 1 has this charm that makes you want to hug her. If it weren’t the first meeting, I wouldn’t have let go.]
─For real, just looking at the self-content shows how friendly the members are; it makes me feel good.
[No. 1 (Do-hee): To be honest, No. 4 (Seo-yoon)? She’s really charming. Being able to see this as fashion shows she has an open mind and no prejudices. Her looks also resemble a puppy.]
─Lee Do-hee: Unni Seo-yoon has no thoughts. If she looks like a puppy, does her brain work the same way? (a bit of sarcasm)
Not everyone was serious, though.
[PD: …Am I on warning too?]
[No. 2: (strictly) It’s not appropriate to casually inquire about a lady’s heart.]
There was No. 2, boldly sticking a sticker on the PD.
Yet, there’s a woman showing interest in such No. 2.
[No. 4: How should I say this… Seeing No. 1 unable to move made me feel a sort of catharsis without realizing it. She seemed like a really bold person.]
Surprisingly, two people.
[No. 5: No. 2. Today’s concept is a bit quiet, so she’s even cuter. If she was like that normally, she’d be cute, right?]
The reasons varied for each, but
Girl No. 2 became the popular one, receiving choices from two people.
And.
[The real Friendship Village life is about to begin]
Before the self-introduction time to get to know each other, the members changed into gray monk robes.
Even during the process of stepping out from the house towards the garden, the screen wasn’t quiet.
No. 2 chased after No. 1 until the end, diligently moving the warning sticker that had been stuck on her discarded clothes.
[No. 2 seems to really like No. 1]
─Why is this so likable?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─Do-hee’s resignation and open arms are getting funnier with each sight ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
