Heard in a conversation
Iced americano in January
Doyun 맛집 찾았어. 존맛이래. 혼밥하기 싫은데 같이 갈래?
I found a great place to eat. They say it's crazy delicious. I don't want to eat alone, want to come?
Yuna 콜. 근데 내돈내산 후기였어? 광고면 노답이야.
Deal. But was it an honest review, bought with their own money? If it's an ad, it's hopeless.
Doyun 레알 내돈내산. 먹방 영상도 봤는데 개꿀이더라.
For real, their own money. I watched a mukbang too and it looked like a sweet deal.
