MAMAMOO - 4 VERY FEROCIOUS WOMEN. I mean where's the lie. 😂😂😂

[@shaiira9133]

@Phoebe페베 18:23

[@moonhwi3754]

eric did get ambushed on one of the episodes i faintly remember. plus they were introduced to each other via escape room i think

[@camilaferno]

When he said that all that went through my mind was the time they ganged up against Solar and cheated in a game to get them to kiss

[@leoem4nuel]

Eric is choosing his word carefully here. I appreciate his thoughtfulness.

[@galllowglass]

@@leoem4nuel Yess, with everything they both went through because of the show, it takes someone brave to openly say they became good friends and to speak so well of Solar and Mamamoo. But I'm glad they're both pushing back against the hate, you could tell they were (and probably still are) very fond of each other, you don't make a friend like that every day and they don't deserve to lose that.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Eric Nam, Jackson Wang, and Henry Lau are the guys that i would love to hang out with.

[@victoriagonzaga6715]

Inquisitve m fr tho 👏🏻🙂

[@nickgarter7389]

With how crazy and spontaneous jackson and henry are, you definitely need an eric in between to keep things in check...lol

[@graciellastephanie3684]

Samee, like imagine how crazy things will get 🤣

[@saninuraenii388]

How loud and fun it would be

[@jillybean5177]

18:22 Eric describing mamamoo: "four very ferocious women", why do I love it so much??

[@saninuraenii388]

The ship is sailing my dear

[@Jae-Y]

"four"ocious women

[@andrewfera5414]

Well right now Tiffany Young and Amber Liu are trying to make strides in America. I hope I get to see either of them on Not Too Deep sometime.

[@johanmoon]

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!

[@bernice9798]

and Henry Lau!!!

[@xstoofpeer]

Tiffany is kinda cringey.

[@payasiitos]

YESSS

[@shynewhyne]

"My friend Tablo" damn boi name drop much

[@yesipan]

for real lol i did a double take

[@leonie9102]

listening to his podcast tho... he be like "the other day i was hanging with bts v..." he knows e v e r y b o d y. i'm not even shocked anymore when i hear him name drop new people. but yeah he did podcasts with tablo too and his brother also manages epik high internationally sooo yeah they know each other

[@michelleautore2945]

Tablo is his boi. Did "Cave Me In" with gallant & Tablo. Nam brothers organized Epik High's North American tour 2019. They're boys fr.

[@xelestial_sky]

His brother literally manages Tablo, Tablos stay on Eric's Instagram page too. He got rights.

[@klrbbt1503]

i mean Dive Studio's ceo/co-founder is brian nam, his brother, which tablo podcast's is under, im not sure if dive studio is literally founded by nam brothers but that's possible, and also both eric and tablo are manage by eddie who's also eric's brother, and also 2nd gen kpop idols who were from outside of sokor are kinda tight bc most of them talk in english and barely korean

[@becalmhyejin]

18:22 Eric Nam starts speaking about being married to Solar on WGM!!!! I also love how he describes my girls XD He's promoting Mamamoo better than RBW.

[@Relectrod]

46:25 Eric lowkey be thinking about the time when Solar surprised him at the airport and serenaded him ;)

[@yellowcrocus]

Relectrod I hope that's actually what's in his mind tho 😁

[@daphneedelisha5698]

Honestly that’s plausible since he said he can’t talk about it... “nice surprises here and there” like bro sdhkjsdh :’) but fr he probably wouldn’t be allowed to talk about it since it’ll spark rumors and shiz AAA

[@MsAnotherCrazyfan]

When grace asked where she should start to educate herself about Kpop, im like... the Kpop daebak show with Eric Nam

[@ritz673]

Another kpop podcast she can also listen to is Ask me about Kpop podcast.

[@seulnx7092]

Eric calling kpop fans nice straight up made me laugh. I'm one myself but..... y'know

[@XdanceladyX]

Well most fans (no matter the fandom) are indeed nice! It's just that the 1% loud ones who like drama sadly get the most attention. But that kind of makes sense, it's kind of like how bad news spread easier since they are more 'entertaining'.

[@deliii395]

What r u talking about? Everyone i've seen is so nice....but i mostly only interact with only armys...so maybe thats why.

[@seulnx7092]

@@XdanceladyX That's very true but I was more referring to the loud ones

[@seulnx7092]

@@deliii395 stan twitter.... that's all i have to say

While I agree, they are probably nice to him.

SAME

[@thiagomestres579]

"so people like you...?" Eric's mom i can't 😂😂😂😂

[@IamJeeenah]

Eric Nam is one of those guys who continues to level up in attractiveness the older he gets. Like back when he was on ASC, he was cute as hell. Now on the Kpop Daebak Show, he looks *chef's kiss* Anyways, I'm so happy and proud of him 🤧💕

[@April_Vicious]

A list of kpop people grace can interview next 💖 Tiffany Young 💖 💜 Amber Lui 💜

[@Jastastic936]

Oh yes! I'd love to see Amber on Not Too Deep! Grace would love her! I mean, but how could not love our Llama Amber!?!? Side note: Congratulations to Amber on finally being free of SM!!

Also Day6's Jae, who is also a youtuber, I think that'd be interesting!

For those who are looking when Eric mentioned Solar 😏 18:23 You're welcome

[@TooMunch]

Eric: Mom! That's my face! On a bus! Eric's Mom:.....why? Dead xD

[@rvermillion8188]

When Grace asking about BTS, maybe she's worry Eric will said something unpleasant. But don't worry Gracie. Eric knows BTS since they are day 5, making shenanigans at his shows, he hosting them kcon, and saw them in Wembley. Their friendship builds from BTS earlier days till now, he watch them closely. And his answer is so heartwarming, that talent and hardwork IS at work to make BTS as big as now.

[@jktm7785]

are you mad or smth? she just asked about bts out of curiosity and eric answered. end of story

[@outrohersaidgayrights413]

do u know grace helbig? she is very sweet. she wasnt asking so someone could say something bad about them. she was just asking how they blew up because she doesnt know anything about kpop.

[@rvermillion8188]

jktm I didnt mean to offend her, sorry for the incorrect wording. . I have edit it 🙂 Hope this minimize the misunderstood.

[@rvermillion8188]

Grace and Eric?! Holy shit thank you for this 🙏

[@hyyh6-132]

At 30:08, Eric starts talking about his theories on how BTS became the biggest act in the world. He also talked about the 2014 KCON- LA and how BTS literally stole the show with their choreography and charisma. 💜💜💜

I got introduced to Eric through BTS and I'm looking forward to hearing his new music! Thanks Grace for having him on!

eric is the sweetest, most personable dude and obv grace is a delight as always. rly enjoyed this!

[@taylorrose7996]

I usually don’t comment on videos but I just had to because I work for Deloitte and I’m listening as I’m sitting here working with a single tear trickling down my face Hahahaha

[@bibidibabidiboo]

BTS' 2014 performance is so memorable that I still watch the videos to this day

[@michinnunapaen]

Thumbs up for asking about We Got Married!!! Always wanted to hear Eric's thoughts on the concept lol

[@DiwaGalvez]

This is what happens if you interview another host; the whole show turns into an interview, feel-good session for both people. Great job and never a boring minute all throughout!

[@Tasneemie]

THIS CROSS OVER WOW CHEFS KISS LETS GOOO

[@moonbbear]

this was so fcking fun. lmao I knew Eric was fun but apparently now I need to go and listet to his podcast too

[@Kibashixx39]

Bro. I just keep shouting NO WAY into the universe. 😭 What is life, dude?

I knew Diane had gone on to work with Eric, but I never knew this crossover would happen! Yayyyy!!!

[@Kibashixx39]

Ssaaaaame

[@missa94ib23]

@s.Moore can you elaborate more on the crossover and Daine?

[@naffy113]

Wow this was unexpected! Now I'm thinking about Tablo from Epik High (also has a podcast lol) having interesting convos with Grace. :)

[@samthepancake69]

from the future: in four months or so, they do!!!

[@ellong]

This meet-up is sooo weird like what lololol I'm confident that both of the two didn't really know about each other until this podcast

[@Amywhy]

I did not see this coming! "4 ferocious women" that pretty much sums up Mamamoo 😂 #beaglelife

[@felixfors9340]

london or korea

[@Kodamakitty]

Such great chemistry! This was a really strong conversation. Cheers :D

[@flwrchild]

at some points i feel like grace got interviewed 😂 two hosts in a room

[@mouakath]

Wow, Eric is so articulate and such an amazing guest! This was an amazing interview! And Grace, you actually interviewed him! So many people are out to interview k-pop singers for their differences rather than who they are as a person! I really enjoyed this!!

[@hnnhbanana]

I would have never expected eric nam to be on not too deep. thank you grace for the awesome episode!

[@liliancitywalker]

This is a collaboration I never thought would happen. And absolutely grateful and love it.(Thank you Grace!) You guys have great chemistry in your conversations, so much fun!! Hahahaha Also that Mamamoo comment 😂

[@rvermillion8188]

Lilian Rojas-Lopez Yes, it was amazingly good and friendly chemistry. It was like they know each other for a long time. But Eric, he always had that best friend persona on him.

[@TimeToDancxe]

This was so much fun to watch/listen. Thank you for having Eric on the show!

[@sugaaakookiesss]

This is the duo that you didn’t know you needed, but very glad exists.

[@peacelife]

Omg imagine this podcast with Eric nam, Henry Lau, Amber Lu are on together. The three friends, the stories they would tell. Thx Grace for having Eric on. So cool to hear his personal story. I feel so weird of how they never lost their English and I'm here loosing my native language and not gaining much English hah. Eric's answer is NRA good job. His mom reminded of all Asian parents

[@iampangwen]

Nothing excites me more than Eric loving the same boy bands I loved in my childhood. 😍😍

[@ohanalee1538]

THANK YOU FOR ASKING HIM ABOUT WGM!

[@shelly9165]

Eric is so endearing, i could listen to him talk forever

THIS IS THE CROSSOVER OF THE CENTURY

[@waga7764]

I feel like bts just creates a new meaning to the term boyband....if anything previous is the standard for boybands....bts just skyrockets past that standards... Alao like What eric said about bts...the charisma part....i can definitely see it..Whenever i see BTS...there is just something about them....that x factor....also like as i listened to their music and saw a couple of candid video of theirs...i kind of understood why they r this big phenomena...like grace said.....if you rip away every flashy thing about bts, every achievement, the craze, their fandom...everything...at their very basic...they r amazing musicians who not only sing/rap but CREATE great music and they have the authenticity and credibilty since before they debuted as a group....like there r 3 rappers in the team and they r genuine rappers...they arent members of bts who rap but rathers legit rappers who r also members of this group BTS...like RM's(the leader of bts) first mixtape was listed as one of the 50 best hip hop albums of 2015 and the same for suga's solo mixtape back in 2016...the same goes for other members.....its like there r these 7 totally different amazing artists comming together to form this one group and they r family to each other.

may flower yeah but like, I think he gives like 75% of the time to talk about the later kpop song or whatever, and like I want all Eric u know
