TDOONG's Crossing EP.01 Highlight #2

Why Koreans care

The title 트둥의 숲 (Teudung-ui sup, “TDOONG’s forest”) recasts the Korean title pattern of Animal Crossing with 트둥 (Teudung), TWICE’s nickname; the official English title, “TDOONG’s Crossing,” preserves the game reference.

In the Korean comments

One comment specifically notices that Tzuyu and Mina seem more excited than usual in this episode. Another singles out Mina’s drawn-out “시로오” (shiroo, “I don’t want to”) as the cutest moment.

What the words mean

시로오 (shiroo, “I don’t want to”) is a playful phonetic rendering of 싫어 (sireo, “no” or “I don’t want to”), stretched into a cuter, more childlike delivery rather than a different word.
