    Was there any shagging between the contestants or some loven afterwards do you know!

    Hmmmm.. I wont say what country...
    but one of the lads was going on dates over there..when he was already engaged! :O
    Wasnt any canoodling between contestants (not that im aware of!) but we all became so close and are still in regular contact :)

    The cameras were literally in our faces 24/7.. like we'd get up at 7am and a camera man would be outside waiting for us...at night after the 'official' planned activities, a few of us would head into Seoul to party, and we'd have to lose the camera men! Cameras in your face all the time was really really wierd, and i was so nervous..but strangely after a day or two I forgot they were there.
    Such a surreal experience!! Im amazed at everything they didnt show.. we went to karaoke loads and had drinking games... but i guess its a family show lol

    I've been to Asia several times and find their TV hillarious, never been to South Korea but that TV looks funny. Nice to win a trip over there and a pretty cool thing to do.

    Id say i got into the whole Korean thing around 7 years ago..
    When i was studying animation in college, my friend who was teaching in korea at the time sent me a video of a boyband (Shinee) for the laugh. I was crackin up, because first the music was just mental, then the clothes, they were like something out of an anime, make up and all!!
    but then...the more i watched the video...the more catchy the song became... then the guys slowly became hotter haha.. before i knew it, i was buying albums and litening to more and more kpop... then i started to watch the dramas... After the gameshow, i started to study the Korean language in Trinity after work. Its a hard language to learn, but its a nice hobby besides animation :D And i want to go back to korea some day for a bit, and it will be nice to have some of the language :)

    내가 한국을 사랑하는 모든 것에 대해 에세이를 의식. 그들은 나를 다시 이메일로 내가 두 번째 라운드에 대한 자격 말했다. 이는 40 ~ 50 PPL과 삼위 일체의 퀴즈이었다. 상위 5 득점 날이었다 마지막 라운드로 자격이!마지막 라운드는 한국과 아일랜드 embassys에서 PPL과 삼위 일체에 다시 인터뷰를했다. 모든 라운드의 요점은 한국에서 아일랜드를 통해 표현하기에 적합한 사람을 찾는 것이 었습니다. 몇 시간 fr과 심의 위원 후, 그들은 다시 와서 내가 원 하더군요! 그래서, 한국 대사관은 8 월에 날에 날아와 모든 것을, 일 등 5 성급 호텔에 대한 지불

    Just thought I'd share.
