Hi, I m Hyo-seop, and I m gonna show you what s in my bag.
Let s open the bag.
I have my phone
This is something I can live without. And it opens.
I m sure a lot of brilliant designers made this phone,
and I don t wanna cover it with the case.
I don t know, sometimes when I miss Ba-ul, which is my cat,
I carry a picture.
That s Ba-ul and me.
I made like a special Christmas song video for fans,
and this was my thumbnail.
I just did an interview at NBC today,
so he s worldwide famous now.
My favorite song has to be,
[smooth jazz music]
I should actually look it up on Spotify,
It should have my top five songs.
Yep, and it s I Always Wanna Die [Sometimes],
by The 1975.
I have listened to 8,624 minutes of music,
which is five days, and my music age is 24.
I m still young.
Then what I carry with me all the time is my lip balm.
I have this habit of licking my lips a lot,
and it gets really, really dry,
so this is like a must have.
I just saw it on internet, and it says it has panthenol,
which is good for recovery,
so just, I dunno, I just randomly got it.
So recently I went to Las Vegas for the CES convention,
and at the interview they gave me a key ring of Derpy,
and I just thought it was really cute,
so I keep it in my bag.
[chill lounge music]
Derpy is Gino s cat for almost over 400 years,
and I also have a cat, so I kind of relate to that.
My cat s name is Ba-ul,
which is actually translated into Paul,
it s like a Korean way of saying it.
My name is Paul,
and I kind of wanted to name him as like a Paul Junior,
so yeah, I just call him Ba-ul.
One item that I cannot live without is these Galaxy Buds.
I m a big music guy. I can t live without music.
Especially when I m traveling, it s always in my ears.
So, something that you might not expect in my bag.
Love. [chuckles]
I m a very optimistic guy, and I really believe in love,
and so I always try to bring it inside of me,
anywhere I go, to anyone I meet.
Acting as Jinu knew wasn t too difficult,
but going into his emotions,
those parts were pretty difficult.
Jinu kind of wanted to stop thinking about his past,
he kind of stopped at where he was when he made the mistake,
so, he was a lot more pessimistic than optimistic.
This is a key ring that I got from my fan.
Wherever I go, there are always fans in different countries,
and they would always gimme their favorite toys
or dolls or key rings.
I can t carry all of them,
but I usually pick one or two in the country
to carry around.
This was the one in Taipei, I think.
Okay, so one of the memorable fan gifts I got,
I actually got it at the airport a couple of days ago,
and it s a key ring of my cat.
My cat s pretty famous among my fans,
and they would always make this crazy stuff out of it.
Yeah, I have like a million of these,
but it s always cute.
Just putting it here.
So whenever I m traveling or missing home,
I always need one of these.
Sometimes the food can get kind of greasy,
I might have a hard time eating local food,
so just in case, I always carry this around,
and I always end up eating it.
Okay so, some practical items.
There has to be a fan,
cause I have a lot of heat in my body.
It s actually hot right now, I ll just turn it on.
Yeah, this is like the practical thing I use every day.
And also, I carry around
a banana.
Like I m like a nutrition freak,
I try to calculate my calories,
I try to calculate my protein, my carbs,
so I always carry around a banana.
Not to run low on protein.
Usually I don t really carry anything for work,
but something that I use at work would be a tumbler.
I try not to use plastic.
And this is actually a new tumbler that I got from Korea,
and it has a tiger on it,
and it s like a traditional Korean shell emperor design.
[chill music continues]
This is kind of embarrassing,
but I have a Chick-fil-A sauce.
I don t know how long it s been in there.
I don t think I can eat it anymore,
but yeah, I m glad I found it so I can throw it away now.
I also have a beer opener for some reason. [chuckles]
I mean, of course I like beer,
but yeah, I don t know why it s in here.
So basically this is what I have in my bag,
and I m gonna put it back in.
I ll just finish this.
Should I put it back inside? All right.
My beer opener,
my tumbler and my phone.
All right.
There you go.
Thanks for watching, that s everything in my bag, by Vogue.
