Why Koreans care

BamBam, formerly of GOT7 and now managed independently, and THE8 (Myeongho), a Chinese member of HYBE-affiliated SEVENTEEN, are idols from two different companies, and Korean agencies typically keep cross-group appearances tightly managed or off official channels entirely. Seeing the pair show up together looking unscripted on SEVENTEEN's own channel reads to fans as a genuine friendship moment rather than a company-arranged crossover, which is why the reactions lean toward surprise and warmth instead of treating it as routine promotion.

In the Korean comments

Most commenters focus on how natural the pair look together, treating the clip as proof of real off-camera friendship rather than a staged collab: "I love how natural the vibe is between BamBam and Myeongho in this challenge" (majority view). A smaller group reacts with affectionate humor about the clip's casualness: "Who films a challenge while eating hot pot, lol, but I love it" (minority, played for laughs). Fandom-leaning comments frame it as a happy reunion, since BamBam doesn't normally appear on this channel: "So good to see BamBam again" (fandom reaction).

What the words mean

The comment "누가 훠궈먹다가 챌린지를 찍어요" ("who films a challenge while eating hot pot") can read as a literal complaint to an outsider, but 누가~해요 (nuga ~haeyo, "who would even do that") is a common rhetorical pattern in Korean that flips into praise — it means "no one normally does this, and that's exactly why it's charming," not criticism. Likewise, calling the pair 쌍둥이 (ssangdungi, twins) in another comment isn't a literal claim about resemblance or relation; it's a stock affectionate phrase Korean fans use for two people who look good paired together.
