Today We Met for the First Time, and We Did Everything | My Name is Kim Sunoo EP.2

Why Koreans care

The opening joke hinges on Korean resident-registration numbers: the first digit after the hyphen is 1 for men born in 1900–1999 and 3 for men born from 2000 onward. Lee initially thinks “male means 1,” so SUNOO’s 3 briefly leaves both of them confused.

In the Korean comments

One comment reads, in translation, “Looking at Kim Sunoo, you realize that a beautiful woman and a handsome man are only a hair’s breadth apart.” It is a pointed compliment about how his appearance crosses the usual gendered categories of beauty.

What the words mean

The title’s “별걸 다 했네” (byeolgeol da haenne, “we really did all sorts of things”) is not criticism that they did something strange. Here it is a casual, amused observation that two people managed to do an unexpectedly wide range of things despite meeting for the first time.
