[4K] Can we do '소년만화' again? lol | '소년만화' Infinite Train

The Korean context

What happened

QWER repeatedly performs “소년만화” (Sonyeon Manhwa, “Boys’ Comic”) during a live broadcast, with the third rendition continuing even as an unexpected guest enters from the neighboring studio.

More context

Why Koreans care

The substitute-drummer joke has a delayed payoff: Chodan introduces herself as the “skinny drummer” beside the much more muscular BoogieDrum, and when the third performance begins, someone finally remarks, in translation, “So that’s why they invited him.”

In the Korean comments

A commenter who identifies themselves as the performer appearing at 1:05:46 says the lyrics felt as though they were speaking on their behalf when practice and effort still met an invisible wall. Singing the song themselves, they write, gave them courage to keep moving forward.

What the words mean

“무한열차” (muhan yeolcha, “infinite train”) is not merely a dramatic name here: it describes the show’s running gag of restarting the same song, as if the performers cannot get off the train. The phrase is playful exaggeration, reinforced when the members ask whether “infinite” really means continuing indefinitely.

Hello! I’m Gwak Da-eun, the one with the white T-shirt and bun from the final team of Infinity Train, “We’re One Broccoli at the Sheep Ranch, but Chojang Is Definitely Necessary” 💕 It was such an honor to be able to play and sing with the QWER members.. ㅜㅜ Actually, I caught COVID about a week before filming and sang in the worst condition, with barely any voice, so I’m terribly upset and can only feel incredibly sorry that I think I ruined the song..😭 Still, thank you so much to everyone who looked upon me kindly!!! I’ll become a harder-working Gwak Da-eun from now on 🩷 I’ll always continue to support QWER 선배님들 as well 🍀🫰🏻🫰🏻 (+ The team name was made up hastily for the livestream filming .. 😁)

Hello! After participating in the choir for the “Boy’s Manga” Special Clip, I’m grateful to have appeared as an artist in this QWER Infinity Train as well (1:05:46) ❤️ When I first sang “Boy’s Manga,” I had many thoughts, and it felt as though the lyrics were speaking on behalf of who I am now.. No matter how much I practiced and tried to move forward, I often felt as if an invisible wall were standing in my way. But by reflecting on the lyrics of this song and singing it myself, I gained the courage and strength to feel that I, too, might be able to move a little farther forward!! I hope that this time I’m spending practicing and sweating through the night will one day shine a bright light through my own music, and that I, too, will someday be able to bloom fully ⭐️✨ Thank you sincerely for giving me such a wonderful opportunity and precious experience! + (My single album titled Hiraeth is coming out on 10/20. Please show it lots of interest! ><)
