Eunhyuk Sells Bags of Coke for Barefoot Friends

The practice is so common that there was even a fake campaign to get Coca-Cola to sell the popular drink in plastic bags. See Eunhyuk’s adventure as a soda-seller below!

When Taecyeon was interviewed, he said, “I thought we were making new memories and having a great time together, but I think Gui Gui sees it all ending soon. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do if Gui Gui thinks our current relationship cannot develop any further beyond this point…”
