I wish I had a friend like Eric. This man is a straight comedian.

[@aspiretoinspire9679]

I think in general, Eric Nam is a well liked guy in the Kpop community. He's a pretty known figure by Kpop fans because he's hosted a lot of shows over the years, most particularly shows geared towards idols.🥰🥰🥰

[@riyabiya4]

this is true! but i wish more people knew him for his music because this man doesn't have a single bad song

[@msb5775]

Why do people assume there's bad blood between Solar and Eric? They genuinely became friends on the show, but then they got so much hate that they had to stop talking about each other publicly. Not sure if they still are close or if it's more of a "hey hope you're doing well" text once in a while situation, but they've both made it really clear they don't hate each other.

[@1992azzy]

He did say in the video that they are still great friends, so there's that. :-)
