[theqoo] SWINGS CONFESSES TO EXPERIENCING CULTURE SHOCK WHEN TRANSITIONING INTO ACTING

"Rookie actor Swings, did he really say, “The film industry seems to be a perfect fit for me”?

Swings: As I mentioned, I’ve been rapping for nearly 20 years.

- I realized I had lived in a truly unique world...

- Whenever I had a get-together with other rappers, if I suggested going for a second round after about an hour, the younger rappers would all stand up and go home at the same time.

- They’d leave citing various excuses.

- But if I got angry about it, I’d just look petty.

- Then I moved into the acting scene... and the atmosphere was so harmonious.

- There was a very clear sense of hierarchy.

- Unlike the hip-hop scene, the rate of people bailing on after-parties was practically zero. I felt like I was being treated so well.

- For instance, at drinking gatherings with younger rappers, the "big hyung" always ended up grilling the meat, Swings, for example.

- If there were ten hoobars, *I* was the one grilling the meat.

- But when I entered the acting world, something really interesting happened... Whenever I tried to grill the meat, everyone would stop me.

- (A rookie actor would say): Hyung! Please stay still, why is hyung cooking?

- It’s a feeling I’ve never experienced before.

- Should I keep grilling? Is it always like this?

- I find myself newly curious about his past.

- It felt refreshing and I was truly grateful, since it’s been so long since I’ve experienced such kindness.

- If I spent time in the film industry like that... and then met up with my hip-hop hoobaes again, I’d probably leave after just an hour...

- So, honestly, I don't really meet up with them anymore. Because they’d get hurt.

- (Choked up) I’m old, right? You guys just hang out amongst yourselves."

1. Seems like they're only "hip" with their words...

2. So Swings is the type to make his own life difficult, too? That’s f*cking hilarious

3. While we're on the subject of workplace etiquette,I’m the youngest on the team, so I offered to do the grilling. But the person said it was fine and insisted on doing it themselves. They turned me down even after I asked two or three times, so I just focused on eating until we were done. Should I have asked one more time in the middle?

4. Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋ Swings has been living a hard life..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. ㅋㅋㅋ Swings is cuteㅋㅋ

6. Swings lived a hard working life so I'm cheering for him

7. In the hip-hop scene, there are so many people who have completely thrown basic manners out the window...

8. I support Swings

9. He said that it was the first time he experienced this, crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seems like people in the hip-hop scene really have no manners or etiquette

10. In any scene, social skills equate to intelligence... but the hip-hop crowd seems to lack intelligence. It reeks of that "trying too hard to be cool" vibe
