Breaking news from Dispatch: several idols were reportedly spotted congregating in a discreet Korean restaurant somewhere in the SCBD area. Security was tight, chopsticks were sharper than usual, and whispers of an exclusive gathering spread fast. Well… that’s the version we like to imagine for our Christmas dinner. In reality, it was us—fully convinced we were undercover K-idols—huddled around a table overflowing with banchan, bantering inside jokes. Between mouthfuls of naengmyeon and sizzling samgyeopsal, we staged our very own “exclusive auction”: a present exchange so intense it could’ve been scripted for prime-time TV. By the end of the night, some of us walked away with gifts we actually wanted, others with surprises we never knew we needed—and all of us with the kind of belly laughs (and food comas) that make the holidays worth remembering.
