That’s like, bigger than Taeil….
ETA: Well, Jaehyo says it’s actually smaller than Taeil. He would know!

Idol goals
A Japanese idol made “a breakthrough discovery in marine biology.”
The article is even more awesome than you think:
It’s very important to note that this eel was caught in the Dotonbori River that flows right by Osaka’s iconic Glico sign in a highly commercial area. As such, its water quality is widely considered to be somewhere between that of a mop bucket and the greasy stuff that log flume rides float on.
Its most notable biodiversity usually consists of the drunk people that jump in after major sporting events and a statue of Colonel Sanders that some drunk people threw in after a major sporting event.
Anyway, Jaehyo and Taeil clearly need to up their game….

NO!!!
Jaehyo met a large snail
And made a snail friend!
And I swear to God, this is EXACTLY how my niece used to be when she was little–we have pictures of her holding up her slug friends BY THE FISTFUL. (Auntie did not allow her slug friends into the house. Auntie is mean and terrible.)
Now she is all grown up and going to university next year, and guess what she wants to study? Marine invertebrates!
Oh my God–they’re going to meet, fall in love, get married, and have a bevy of children fascinated by slimy things, aren’t they? And I’m going to be stuck looking after their children and telling them that they cannot bring their assorted “friends” into the house, AREN’T I?

If you’ve been missing Jaehyo
ETA: It looks like he’s planning to focus on poker until P.O is done with his service.
(Thank you for translating!) I think it’s more entertaining to watch him fish, but you know, whatever makes him happy….

Fishingdol!
This sort of thing always makes me so happy….
Go Jaehyo!
ETA: It actually resulted in a nice little bounce in traffic to BlockB.com, so double-yay!

Jaehyo’s poker face
Jaehyo did a charity poker tournament, which you can watch here:
(ETA: Apparently it’s private now.)
Of course Jaehyo busts out and is the first to be eliminated–but he gets LOTS of screen time when he’s on.
Do you want a hint as to why?

Jaehyo with good cards:
Block B!
ETA: Since you can’t watch the video anymore, I thought I’d run through how Jaehyo busted. Keep in mind that 1. this is from memory, and 2. while I’ve played, I’m definitely not an expert at poker. Plus, you know, it was all in Korean, and I was paying more attention to funny, funny Jaehyo.
The game was stud poker with (IIRC) five cards and three in the hole (that means you have two cards you can look at in your hand, and then there are three cards in the middle of the table that no one can look at until the betting is done). So, they’re all trying to build a good poker hand and betting on that hand without knowing what 60% of that hand will be.
For some reason that I did not catch, Jaehyo had a relatively small amount of chips available to bet. For the first few hands, Jaehyo was getting garbage, so he wasn’t betting. Finally he got (IIRC) an ace and 10 of hearts. Because you can probably build something good from that, he went all in and bet all his chips.
Everyone else folded except for a woman who had an 8 and 9 of…spades, maybe? Maybe clubs. Two cards next to each other of the same suit, so again, you could build something. I believe the three in the hole were an 8, a 9, and a 10 (or maybe not even a 10), so she had two pair and Jaehyo either had one pair or nothing. She won, and because Jaehyo had bet all his chips, he was left with no money, and so he was gone.
EATA: But don’t worry about Jaehyo! He hit the jackpot later on!
By catching…his most disgusting fish yet. Dude, that’s gross.

And another fish is perturbed
He certainly is!
I have a very limited Fishing Tolerance, which I must carefully conserve for use with my brother-in-law so that my sister doesn’t have to get divorced. But kudos to those of you who were/are willing to sit through however many hours of this there are.
