can we see MARKSON here. or maybe the whole GOT7 with Jamie, Kevin and Jae. The whole ASC squad i miss .

[@oneofigot7481]

Agree💚

[@marianabarreiro2957]

WE NEED GOT7 MEMBERS ON THIS SHOWWWW!!!!!!

[@jibieyjibiey2689]

I see mark i click 😂😂 Dive studio should invite got7's members 😣

[@vaneg7710]

He said Jeff and all I can think about is the meme “my names Jeff” lmao

[@nicw6781]

Okay but my takeaway from this is just how warm and friendly Mark (and all of GOT7) is. As one of the biggest groups out there, no one would be surprised if they weren’t close to hoobaes (juniors), especially those from a different company. Plus Mark is the oldest member of the group, AND he’s the quietest member of the group. The fact that Mark just casually asked for Eric’s number and offered to hang out just says so much about Mark and GOT7’s personalities as some of the friendliest and most humble figures in K-pop. There’s a reason why everyone in the industry loves them, even if they’re hectic and noisy af haha. Like our 7 boys said, K-pop is a huge family, and there’s only love between the different groups. I stan these 7 kings👑💚 and of course, props to Eric for being super outgoing and friendly, too! I don’t know The Boyz well, but they seem like pretty cool people(:

[@leisisleis]

Eric Nam: Unexpected friendship. Me: /thinking of possible idols he befriended/ Eric Sohn: My friends... DAD. Me: Well you got me there, honey

[@starydae]

eric 1: what’s your friends name? eric 2: ah..i forgot kevin and jacob: do you even know his dads name?!? eric 2: i think it was like....jeff... eric i love you but like i feel like you have 5 friends also named jeff

[@geebeedeobee]

Jacob's brother too they were together in LA Kcon lol

[@jlovesgreen]

Okay, if I will see Mark (which is by far im-possible) I would definitely yelled "Hey Mark, Im from LA" (tho Im not from LA🤣)

[@MissGourmandefr]

Eric’s accent and laid back diction is so attractive tbh I’m not even a fan of the boyz but I could listen to him speaking in English all day

[@krxiamaranan]

Since I'm here for GOT7's MARK... Eric! When are you guesting the boys of GOT7 or even just the AMERITHAIKONG?! When that moment arrives, us, aghases, will surely be very happy and grateful. 💚

[@igot7fangot78]

mark is so friendly

[@Hearty.7]

Can Dive invite AmeriThaiKong, Chan, Jamie (again) to the show? Or Mark with Eric (The Boyz) will be so much cuteness.

[@BiancaSilva-jw4ls]

Now Dive do your job again and guest Mark for the show and we need Jackson (yes i'm here comenting the same again)

And the friendship continues, just naturally Erik in 2022 at Mark Tuan music party for his first album, Erick was there ✌🤘

[@kpopismyjam5352]

I wouldn't be surprised that Eric would be the more out going one, he gives off the cheery energiser of the group vibe and you could, instantly feel comfortable around him. Thank you Eric for the bromance/friendship, you and Mark have. I hope it continues to blossom and you both create, more good and happy memories with each other.
