Wherein Eric argues with self. Because why not, really? Eric is one of those stars known for being off-the-wall (he’s pretty infamous for being a 4-D Hallyu star), and it seems he’s outdone himself this time, creating a twitter account for his Myung-wol the Spy character Kang-woo, and then tweeting back and forth as Eric and Kang-woo. Yeah. He’s that loony.
The conversation goes a little like this:
Kang-woo: Eric-sshi, do you know who I am? I didn’t think you’d know… it’s me, Hallyu star Kang-woo.
Kang-woo: So Eric-sshi does know who I am. Ah, is a Hallyu star’s existence something the whole country knows?
Eric: Shut up, you ass. I don’t like you, starting with the way you look.
Kang-woo: The way I look… they say I look like you. What do you think? But don’t you honestly think I’m a little better?
Eric: Arrogant bastard… Sucker, go braid your hair!!! Are you at least eating, Hallyu star? Pfft.
Kang-woo: I don’t have time to eat because I’m so busy…
Eric: Don’t eat. Go shoot [your fake drama-in-drama] Assassin. Han Ye-seul, Fighting!
Kang-woo: Eat well too, Eric sunbae-nim. I’ll follow you. Especially because you look like me.
girlfriday: Hey, have you seen this Eric tweet? It’s fucking hilarious.
javabeans: OMG I’m reading it now. Why is he so… ??? It defies words. What a nut.
girlfriday: A complete loon. Hey, the fifth tweet down, how would you translate that slang?
javabeans: Er… well, the second part literally means to…braid…the…hair? The first part is like “sucker…”
girlfriday: Sucker braid your hair?!
javabeans: Hahaha. Sucka, go braid your hair! Why is Eric SO WEIRD?
girlfriday: I don’t know, but I LOVE IT.
javabeans: I love that he’s writing in character, replete with appropriate jondae. Kang-woo’s being polite to his sunbae and Eric’s all pissy to the poseur.
girlfriday: Yeah. Like Eric’s the actual top-star, and Kang-woo’s the wannabe top-star.
javabeans: Hee hee. I’m giggling at his gripe over Kang-woo’s looks. It’s like in the pre-broadcast Myung-wol interviews where he was like, “I’m a lot like Kang-woo. First off, I look like him.”
girlfriday: And his send-off, like “go shoot your little fake drama, asshole.” HA.
javabeans: To which Kang-woo dutifully replies, all respectful, “Ah yes, sunbae. I will do so, sunbae. I will follow you, sunbae.”
girlfriday: It’s like a meta-mirror funhouse. I like that he begrudgingly looks after his hoobae too, all “are you eating?” like a mom.
javabeans: But it’s taunting, ‘cause he adds, “…you Hallyu star” in a mocking way.
girlfriday: Like he’s patronizing the little wannabe. Hee.
javabeans: Well, the pipsqueak DID introduce himself as “It’s me, Hallyu star Kang-woo!”
girlfriday: I love how that’s become such a universal joke. “I’m a Hallyu star!” = overblown ego the size of Jupiter.
javabeans: Gah, now I want Eric to cameo on Myung-wol . Er. I mean, Eric to play Eric playing a cameo on Myung-wol.
girlfriday: OH MY GOD, my head would implode from the awesomeness. And the rift it would cause in the space-time continuum.
javabeans: This is how we know it is a good idea.

HAHAHA this is hilarious!
hahaha i had a similar idea ,i have 2 facebook accounts and i talk with myself with other name
Its even funnier that this was sourced from the Financial News
I just saw that!
Yes, so funny! I hope JB and GF will continue posting his tweets to selves =)
That made me LOL! How completely random and yet awesome
I love stars that are a bit quirky and not afraid to be themselves
Imagine this as a part of the scene in Myung-wol the Spy ^___________________^
I can already imagine…
…and what with @topstar_KW replying back-and-forth with @Hanmyeongwol…like LOL really???
As if i needed another reason to like this guy …
I KNOW. I think I am in love
is he really an actor/idol? not a comedian?
Eric oppa, you better ask yourself! LOL
Lol. Eric cameo’ing as Eric. Haha, that’d be too epic. I like when he said ‘Han Ye Seul fighting’. XD
Eric just went up a few notches on the awesome meter.
OMG CRACKING UP. I CAN’T EVEN. THIS ADORABLE NONSENSICAL. I CAN’T STAND IT. TOO CUTE.
oh my goodness, that is too funny!!!
I read somewhere there is “Myungwol” twitter account too?
I read on Shinwa fanblog about Eric’s twitter, I really want to learn Korean faster so I can understand his antics first hand!
im liking eric more and more
uhh… what exactly does 4D mean???…
A Korean friend called me that and I actually took offense cause I’m thinking about Avatar!! ahahhaha!
i don’t know either, but try to look at this http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=4d
4D short for 4th-dimension, it just means your weird, people don’t really follow your logic & you don’t think like normal people do, like your from the 4th dimension
HAHA he’s known for being weird, now I know why XD
LOL our 4D Shinhwa leader Eric!!! He’s one epic dude!!! Love him for that!! hahaha
LMAO eric has always been so weird
never fails to surprise me though..
HAHAHAHAHA. NOW, Who would I love more? ERIC or KANG WOO? GAAAAAAAAH! Can’t decide!
Eric..because he didnt slap woman and kangwoo did hahaha joke~
“Sucker, go braid your hair!!! ”
it’s translated correctly “hit on the head by a rod(봉)” along the lines, which is a reference to ep5.
If you read their conversation, she seemed confused about that part, prolly cos of the 땋 at the end, which means to braid/plait..
Eric you’re freakin funneeeehhhhh!!!
Freakingly brilliant hahaha..
Go show the kid a thing or two Eric!
It somehow redeem my anger toward Kang Woo for his last action in episode 6.
Jaejoong says that too when talking about him and Cha Muwon
“Cha Muwon. Well, i Look like him”
XD
jae’s 4D too. keeke. guess all 4D artists will think like this~~
Come to think of it, jaejoong is pretty 4D too xD
omgosh so freaking hilarious i think im going to braid my hair!!!
LOL! I just mentioned Kangwoo’s twitter account on my TL and he suddenly replied and insisted that he’s not Eric!
LOL!! I’m looking at KW’s twitter…
someone saying “ahjussi i love you” then
KW replies “thanks. but… ahjussi…?”
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s such a friendly guy!! He replies most of the mentions!
The latest news I read is that the Kang Woo account is not really Eric’s. It is a parody account. The creator even tweeted Eric to tweet that the KW account is only a parody account to clear up Eric’s name and the creator is even trying to reach news agency because some people (haters) are not liking that Eric created the KW account to make some noise for him and the drama. Nonetheless, truly Eric is a 4D! And the tweets in the KW account! Haha.
Omg, this is too funny! Wow…
just soooooooo
Thanks for the belly laugh!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ^___^ That’s soo crazy, fufufu!
Oh Eric… I love you
totally loving the idea of having eric cameo as eric in the drama. that would be so much fun!
someone should twit the idea to him!
I said fighting to Kang-woo’s Assasin movie and he said thanks! LMAO! What a nut guy!!
*collapses laughing* I heard he was 4D but this just shows me how 4D is, I personally think he is beyond 4D, a class of his own. That is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Thanks Eric & Kang-woo for making my day ^^
Actually, this is not Eric talking to Eric ^^ the Kang Woo account is not Eric’s ^^
Oh wow….Eric just shot up a bunch of notches on my awesome meter. This is the first drama I’ve seen him in and I was already drooling from the requisite shower scene (God love you, kdramas!!!!). But now I think I’m in love.
But I’ll always be a Lee Min Ho ho.
lmao eric is so silly and funny.
HAHAHA!! So hilarious! I’m not a fan of Eric before but I’m kinda in love with him now… XD
As if I wasn’t already falling desperately in love with Eric (and Kang Woo) and then he does this! He is so phunny. Hee hee.
I’m a wee bit cheered up from the whole City Hunter recap- thank you Eric you absolute babe! Actually I’m a lot cheered up! He saved me from my melancholy. (A wee bit dramatic I know- but only those who enjoy drama would watch k-dramas!)
jjang! I guess my mom was right all those times she told me how weird I am, because I don’t find this weird at all– just frickin’ hilarious!
Mwha ha ha!!!! This post totally makes my day! I <3 Eric
I lol’ed the first time I read this, but your comments cracked me up, hahh! 4D celebs are totally the funniest and most interesting people, especially Eric and Kim Hyun Joong.
what are 4D celebs please?
Anyway this made me lol xD I like him even more now!
4D = 4-dimensional
This is just my interpretation, but…
3D or 3-dimension is the geometric world that we (humans) live in (i.e. the normal human eye can only normally see things in 3-dimensions or on 3-planes: width, length, height (depth))
But some stars are so weird, they see things and belong to a whole other dimension all together. And so we have 4-D celebs lol
Hope that helps
The Kangwoo person is claiming not to be Eric. Maybe it’s a fan! Or Eric!
we dont know ourselves..tho he claimed he’s not eric but, who knows? lol this totally cracked me up!
and if KW is really not Eric, Eric such a cutie replying him hahaha
ikr? Regardless of whether or not kw’s twitter is rly eric’s it’s still so frickin hilarious that eric actually replied XD
I don’t know what to say.
Eric should TOTALLY cameo in Myung-wol as himself. And then be all like mirror mime-y with Kang-woo. That’ll be awesome.
hahahahaha he’s so funny! and he’s really replying to people. XD I’m kinda new to Eric and this made me love him even more.
btw how did you guys know that it was really Eric who made that @topstar_KW account?
although ,isnt Eric cute for replying topstar_KW, sound like he’s really talking to Kangwoo, the top star hahaha
Eric is so hillariously funny… who will not love the best leader in kpop! he is so such a cutie in a manly look!
it all a cunning plan..the show not doing so well in the ratings..but now he can blame the ‘other’ guy this Kang-woo if the show really keeps sliding down in the ratings…cunning
This is why Eric was my first kpop crush years ago… <3 He's just so awesome lol.
Since one above mentioned it, CHAJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~!!!
Myung-wol’s “official” Twitter account: @Hanmyeongwol
(and, surprise, her last tweet was with @topstar_KW: http://twitter.com/Hanmyeongwol/status/96578654729015296)
I can read their tweet convos like no tomorrow…!!!
Also, In-ah’s: @Jooinna
OMG, if those North Koreans are seeing this, they’ll implode…
And BTW, so many twitter accounts have been cropping up (including Gumiho, Heartstrings, Sungkyunkwan, City Hunter, Miss Ripley, etc etc bla bla bla), and I think I’m hallucinating, they even made accounts for the Joseon Romeo & Juliet:
-@princesskunghye (Princess Gyeonghye) -> she even claimed thru her bio: “…blablabla since.1500″ O_O|||
-@seung_you_ (Kim Seung-yoo)
-@seryeong_ (Yi Se-ryeong)
…and all of them were talking in joendaemal, hahaha!!! XD

Hahahaha this is too funny! I fixed up the translation a bit for you:
=============
NOTE: I looked up twitter.com/topstar_KW and found that the following conversation is incomplete. They had some other tweets in between, but Kangwoo tweets so much, it was tiring to try and find everything. Enjoy!

…and so on…
Thanks guys! haahahah I bet this is gonna help in the publicity for the show, big time. I mean, it’s a genius weird idea hahahahaha
Thank you for this light hearted article. It helps to ease the pain from last night’s City Hunter…
Ha ha, that would make a great special. Like the bonus scene in Bridget Jones’ Diary where she interviews Colin Firth as Colin Firth, and keeps calling him Darcy, to his annoyance. (It was in the book before the movie was cast.)
:O
it’s like Inception… xD
Now this is a kind of creativity that needs to happen more often! Very entertaining to see more out-of-the-box things like this.
If Eric was somehow able to cameo on his own show…I think I might enjoy this drama even more and also have my mind blown on how they’d pull it off successfully.
i seriously thought it was just a scenario made up by gf/jb. i didn’t think eric would seriously do this. he needs a rocket… a rocket spaceship because his 4dness is out of this world.
Like some had pointed out there’re a whole slew of drama characters parody on Twitter (@Hanmyeongwol, @ChoiRhy, @Jooinna for Spy Myungwol). I doubt it’s Eric making up this topstar_KW account though. The convos between the 2, however, are downright hilarious
Well if he did make this KW account, more 4D power to him hahahahaha
btw, Eric to cameo on SMW would be awesome!
Kangwoo: where is my twin Eric?!
haha LOVE this… GF & JB: you guys have the best conversations…ever.
