2021.12.03 Shinhwa’s Eric Instagram Update:

POST 1:

Next door neighbor gave us a giant yellowtail. The neighboring father made the sashimi himself and brought it over. The fragrance of the oil is well distributed through out so I think it’s a really big yellowtail. We ate it deliciously and returned the plate back with kimchi made from the vegetables my grandmother harvested herself. I hope they like it. Neighbor that gave us yellowtails. I’m so glad we moved to Ilsan. End of today’s diary~😚 #YellowTail #GiantYellowTail #Neighbor #NeighborCousin #Kimchi #Kimjang #Ilsan #TheBest

T/N: Neighbor cousin (literal translation of 이웃사촌) means neighbors who are close like family

POST 2:

For those who asked where’s the soju? Here’s the soju~ #soju

T/N: The soju glass was a personalized gift from fans that has 'exclusive glass for Eric' etched on it.

Comment and Reply:

OP: Oppa, I would like to know more about the plate 🙋‍♀️ MUNERIC: The plate is from the neighbor so I’m not sure…

OP: Yellowtails are great when wrapped with dried seaweed and ripped kimchi, oppa 😮 MUNERIC: I ate them with nice intenstinetines~ MUNERIC: I meant to write intestine seaweed (thick seaweed sheets) but why did it say intenstinetines ? OP: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OP: Oppa, If you come to our neighborhood, you could enjoy the delicious beltfish, webfoot octopus, and rockfish that my father catches. So, what do you say? I’ll deliver myself ㅎㅎ MUNERIC: Where is this neighborhood? OP: Here? It’s Inchon Yeonsu. My dad likes deep sea fishing so would you like to go with him? He doesn’t care what he catches and he goes every where, every season ㅎㅎ Once, I remember thinking of you while eating beltfish sashimi ㅎㅎ

Comment on the Soju glass:

OP: Could your wife use Eric’s exclusive glass? ㅎ MUNERIC: There is hers too ㅎㅎ I’ll show you next time~ OP: I never thought this day would come. I thought nerds never get lucky like this ㅋㅋㅋ Show me next time please!

SM music video remaster project. These are familiar young friends I've seen before~ #sm #youtube #musicvideo #remaster #shinhwa #onlyone #Shouldn’t it be onnione #Anyway #letsenjoy

Before the Instagram post, Eric dropped a comment on the remastered video shortly after it was released. His comment on YT: “I enjoy watching these young friends~”

Comments & Replies:

OP1: Ah I thought the video was going to play ㅋㅋㅋㅋ MUNERIC: If you keep pressing it, it'll play? OP1: I'll give you a like ㅋㅋㅋ OP2: @OP1: ..I'm glad I saw this before clicking. You saved me ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

OP: You took it off in high definition. MUNERIC: I took it off (his top) in low definition but it came off in high definition.

OP: The one on the right side in the back with his eyes loosened is drawing more attention than I thought. It's been a long time, how are you doing? MUNERIC: He probably fell asleep standing up.

OP1: It seems this is a new young group. They dance well and are good~ I feel like they will be successful 😍 MUNERIC: Idols have a short lifespan so they'll probably last only a few years. OP2: You’re the legends 👊 who broke that spell 🔥Shinhwa contributed greatly to the growth of K-POP👏👏👏👏👏👏 OP3: Surprisingly, you've been doing this for a long time, unlike idols these days ㅇㅇㅇ You thought I would say that right? I can’t do that.. I can definitely send a video message saying that you’re an idol 🤭

OH EEM GEE... It’s no wonder why he got asked for ID when he bought beer a few days ago 🤩  Hello mommy Hyemi and daughter Sogeum at the back 😘

2021.12.12 Shinhwa’s Eric Instagram Update:

What just happened at the convenience store. Part-time worker: Can I see your ID? Me: ID? I don't have it right now because I use Samsung Pay. Part-time worker: If you don't have an ID, you can't buy alcohol. Me: What? I used to buy it here often. Part-time worker: But you still have to have your ID. I'm sorry. Me: I'm forty-three. Part-time worker: Do you need a bag? Me: Yes. Part-time job: The payment is complete. Thank you. Me: Have a nice day~ #NoSellingAlcoholToMinors

Comments & Replies:

OP: You should have searched yourself up on Naver and showed it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ MUNERIC: If I thought about it more, I might had asked the worker to search up Eric on Naver...

OP: I guess you’re not the type to drink just one brand. MUNERIC: It was 5 for 20,000won so I chose this and that~

OP: You’re braggingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ MUNERIC: I’m very openly bragging in this post

OP: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow they asked for your ID.. You must look really young! MUNERIC: I'm rounder because I gain weight, so I guess  they thought I were a minor. But I’ll be mid-40 in a month.

OP: You should have said you were Eric confidentlyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 🤭 MUNERIC: I don’t think it would be confident. I think it will be annoying ㅎ

OP: Oppa, I’m 37 but they asked for my IDㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I said I don’t have an ID but I have my daughter’s photo, so I burst into laughter with the part-time worker ㅋㅋㅋ MUNERIC:  That’s a real flex 👍🏻

OP: In your mask, the corners of your mouth went up vs down (T/N: smiling vs frowning) MUNERIC: Only one side went up (T/N: like huh?)

OP: They asked me for my ID and when I showed it they said, “OMG I’m sorry.” I got an apology ㅎㅎ I guess I’m at an age that they are sorry for my ageㅎㅎ I’m 36..ㅎㅎ MUNERIC: You are a baby.

2021.10.27 Shinhwa’s Eric Instagram Update:

First Post:

I'm here for the second dose of Pfizer with my best friend #Vaccine #SecondDose #Pfizer #IAmHungry

👩🏻: What are you going to eat after you get vaccinated~~?? ERIC: Mandon or Popolo Pizza, nearby restaurants~ 👩🏻: If there are a lot of people at Popolo, Primi Piatti is also good! 👩🏻: Wow this is the place I recommended! It might hurt, so I recommend Mandon! Protein!!! 👩🏻: For a cafe, go to PO coffee nearby. It’s a really delicious spot ㅋㅋㅋ 🙌🙌

Second Post:

I heard Ibuprofen works better than Tylenol for the 2nd round of Pfizer, so I prepared this as well. Aja Aja Pfizer! They said it doesn't hurt if you say that. #NoHashtag

T/N: aja aja fighting (아자 아자 화이팅) is an expression to boost morale or encouragement. Pfizer in Korean = 화이자. He switched out 팅 for 아자 아자 화이자 (aja aja Pfizer) as a play on 아자 아자 화이팅

Comments and Replies:

🧑🏻: Hyung, I took one Tylenol every 4 - 5 hours and two when I slept. I don't catch a cold easily but without the medicine, I thought I was going to die when I got the 2nd dose. I hope you overcome it well. ERIC: Gosh, it must have hurt more when you're younge. I'm worried because I'm a baby, too. 👩🏻: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ😂 👩🏻: Baby Eric 🙌🧡 👩🏻: He is baby Eric now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

👩🏻: I hope it passes by without a problem! ERIC: Like Mutalisk 🔥 T/N: Mutalisk is a character in Starcraft

👩🏻: It’s not #nohashtag it’s #hashtag because even #nohashtag is a hashtag… I want to leave work ERIC: You’re sharp.

👩🏻: Wow, my husband and I were so excited because we were fine after getting the second dose of Moderna on Saturday. But at dawn, our fever rose to 39 degrees Celsius. We lived like zombies until Sunday. Now, we're finally living like humans. Even if you're not sick, take medicine in advance and keep water and food near your reach 😂 ERIC: People say Moderna hurts more. You worked hard.

👩🏻: Those who graduated from national school don't get sick. Only those who graduated from elementary school get sick ㅋㅋ I don’t think you’ll get sick ERIC: /Block love.yoon5115 👩🏻: Ah~~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 👩🏻: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m laughingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

T/N: In the old days, Korean elementary school was called national school (국민학교). But in 1996, it's changed to elementary/primary school  (초등학교). These days it's used as a way to identify people who are older. If you say "I attended national school (국민학교)," it implies you're at least mid-30s. So the commenter jokingly sais that Eric won't get sick because he's old 😂  And that's why he joked back to block commenter 😆

👩🏻: I'm a nurse fan!! It's best to take only acetaminophen-based relievers! If it hurts too much, I recommend you to take the injections prescribed by the hospital.😍 ERIC: What are the acetaminophen-based products? 👩🏻: @muneric Tylenol 650mg pills. I buy it at pharmacy and take that!!😂 I hope you don't get sick and pass it safely.

👩🏻: Oppa, I need a booster shot, but I'm already scared to deathㅜㅠㅠ It hurt so much for a few days after the first and second dosesㅜㅠㅠ Thinking of getting a shot again ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ😢 ERIC: Does everyone must get a booster shot? The 3rd dose? 👩🏻: Booster shots are supposed to be for medical staffs first. I don't think there is any information for the general public yet.

👩🏻: At my current job, acetaminophen is used for headaches, body aches, and fever. We guide you to take ibuprofen only for heartaches and irregular heartbeats. Fighting! Fighting! ERIC: Aha~ Please share a lot of good information~ 👩🏻: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh I just knew this. I'll prepare the medicine as you said when I get my second dose😆

👩🏻: You have to say aja aja Pfizer loudly ㅎㅎ ERIC: I said it while doing hand motions! 👩🏻: As expected from our leader oppa 👍👍

👩🏻: Which vaccine will be good for the 3rd dose...😢 ERIC: Does everyone must get the 3rd dose? 👩🏻: The 3rd dose is for senior citizens of 75 or older, hospital staffs, and COVID-19 vaccination hospitals^_ㅠ Nothing beyond that has been confirmed yet (from a hospital worker😃) 👩🏻: I got a call, so I’m getting the 3rd dose 😢 I had a hard time during the 2nd dose 😨 How am I going to get the 3rd dose ㅠ Which medicine will be good 😭 👩🏻: They said it's good to get the 3rd dose~ My hospital director told me~

My next door neighbor gave me another precious cuttlefish~ This calls for soju #Cuttlefish #TGIF

T/N: 불금 (fire Friday) is a slang word for 불타는 금요일. It's the equivalent of  'TGIF' (Thank God It's Friday)

Comments & Replies:

OP: I guess you prefer soju~~~ (than beer and wine) MunEric: I don’t sell soju~~~ T/N: Clever play on words in his reply! "Soju-drinker/someone who prefers soju" sounds the same as "you sell soju."

OP: Oppa!! I suddenly(?) got a job at a sake company. Originally, I worked in very different field...ㅋㅋ I got a new job at a late stage of career, the power of Shinchang(?)  Oppa, I really want to give you some good sake. There's also drink that goes well with cuttlefish!!!! MunEric: I will remember that. OP: Wow it's an honor!!! Let me know any time!!!!

OP: Gosh I'm going to go, so I can share your taste!!! 😍 MunEric: Make sure to try the set that comes with acorn jelly and jeon. It’s the best jeon I’ve ever had.

OP: Did you wrap the noodles in cat leaves?? (OP had a typo on perilla leaves) That’s the rule at Sohojung! MunEric: Is that a cat? OP: OMG ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's perilla leaves. I made a typo ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

OP: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You inhaled it~ The beef gukbap (soup with rice) there is delicious too^^ I should go to Sohojung with my partner sometime soon. MunEric: I’ll try next time
