Hello, this is SEVENTEEN THE 8
Today I've prepared a dish that goes well with our title track "HOT"
This dish is called "mala shrimp"
"Mala longxia" is really famous in Korea
but I like "mala shrimp" much better
The Chinese name is "mala daxia"
This is the main dish today
And this side dish is "dried tofu stir-fry"
And this one is "seasoned cucumber"
It balances out the oiliness
Today's 8Restaurant is open for business
I'm going to open this drink first
This
It's kind of like green plum tea
It goes really well with spicy, greasy food
Thank you for the meal
First, I have to peel the shrimp
Twist off the head first
and then peel one side of the shell
And just do the same thing to the other side
I'll try it now
I have this habit when I eat these
I take
a piece of dried tofu like this [(THE 8's killer combo)]
so it tastes good together
And then eat it in one bite
[(Serious about shrimp)]
It tastes really savory
The mala flavor isn't too strong
but I can feel the spice the more I eat
It's not that spicy right now
It looks really spicy but it doesn't feel like that yet
I think I eat this once every two weeks
I don't go longer than a month without having it
It could be too greasy to eat often
but you can enjoy the spiciness
if you have it every once in a while
And if you eat it with this dried tofu
it balances out some of the greasiness and saltiness
So I like to eat it this way
If it gets too spicy
or if it's too greasy you can eat some of the cucumber
I'm slowly feeling the spiciness
My mom and dad used to boil shrimp and cook this since I was young
I've always loved them
I have a lot of good memories involving shrimp
so I still love shrimp today
It's getting spicy now
It's so spicy that I'm reminded of our song
♪ HOT HOT HOT HOT ♪
When you eat spicy food, sing ♪ HOT HOT HOT ♪ like me
Eating spicy food really helps release stress
Of course, it can't be healthy if you eat it too often
but for a change of pace and for happiness
you can treat yourself every once in a while
It's nothing, right?
Have you listened to SEVENTEEN's title track "HOT"?
When I first heard this song
I immediately thought of the color red
Spicy, hot, passionate red
So right as I heard the song
I wanted to dye my hair red again
And when I was recording and practicing
I wanted to develop the concept further
The song is stronger and more passionate than our usual vibe
so I wanted to transform myself
I came up with a lot of the gestures for the acting and the performance
Did you enjoy my performance?
I really love our MV this time
It's the first MV since our debut
where I showed that side of myself
So I was really excited and happy to see the MV too
This album is SEVENTEEN's studio album
so there's a lot of tracks
My favorite song in the album
Try to guess
It's kind of a sentimental song
"IF you leave me" is my favorite
My emotions bubble up every time I listen to it
How about we listen to the song
and eat together for a while?
[NOW PLAYING - SEVENTEEN "IF you leave me" (Peeling shrimp over sentimental music)]
The song is so sad
It's so sad
that the shrimp looks sad too
SEVENTEEN looks amazing in the performances for this album
Please watch our performances
I came up with some gestures for my part
There's a gesture like this
Again [(Slip)]
I'll go again
It's kind of hard with the grease
And
[(Cool)]
[(Excited)]
This is really spicy so

In this promotion, even I'm getting to see
a different side of myself
I hope it's doesn't feel too unfamiliar but feels more open
to CARAT and our fans
I just want to show the person that I am
Who I've always been
In the past, I wanted to look cooler when I performed
but as time goes by
I just want to be someone comfortable for you all
So when CARAT kept asking me to do mukbangs
I felt really sorry that I couldn't before
I'm trying to look back on myself through this promotion
When I look back on my past, I want to have been someone comfortable
but I realized I wasn't even comfortable with myself
So I've opened up 8Restaurant now
and later I want to open up 8Bar and have a glass of wine
and have Tea Time together
I'll try my best to make more content
There's a little bit left so I'll peel them together
and eat them in one bite
I usually peel them all at first
and then start eating
but today I wanted to introduce this dish
so I took my time with the shells
I usually just peel them all at once
I really enjoyed today's meal
I hope CARAT and all the viewers who have been watching
try mala shrimp for themselves
I hope you enjoy it
with dried tofu
I hope it's to your liking
SEVENTEEN will do our best to have a healthy and happy promotion for "HOT"
so please keep watching us
I really enjoyed today
