On June 9, at 7 PM KST, the fifth episode of “ChoCo in Hollywood” was released on Mnet’s YouTube channel “M2”, portraying the ChoCo1 members’ delightful journey of music study and healing travel.
For those who might not know, “ChoCo in Hollywood,” is a reality show that documents the transformative journey of ChoCo Entertainment trainees β Jake, TJ, Sean, and Anpan β as they undergo a unique training curriculum, evolving into accomplished artists. ChoCo1 is a unit that consists of the male trainees of ChoCo.
In the previous episode, we saw the members enjoy a fun freestyle dancing session with Myles Yachts, where Sean, in particular had some trouble stepping forward. In this episode, we see Jake playing the older brother role and encouraging Sean, which helped him muster courage and ultimately deliver a great impromptu freestyle performance with the members.
Next, ChoCo1 invited their teachers and mentors, who had helped them with music production, to their accommodation and had a meaningful and pleasant time together. From enjoying a barbecue party to handing out special gifts the members had prepared, the atmosphere was lively and full of laughter. Everyone shouted ChoCo’s slogan “1, 2, 3 ChoCo!” together, and the teachers expressed their support for ChoCo1 in Korean by saying, “We’ll wait for you at Billboard“.
Later, when the members went to see ChoCo1’s photo displayed on a Hollywood billboard, they were unbelievably excited and enthused. Not only was this a boost of encouragement for the members but also heightened the audience’s expectations for their future progress and growth.
That’s not all! The ChoCo1 members also showed their true fan spirit as they walked around the Hollywood Walk of Fame, focused on the ground, looking for the stars of their favorite artists, and even lying down on the floor without hesitation to have their pictures taken alongside them. TJ even expressed a sincere wish, saying, “It would be great if our names were also there“.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, the ChoCo1 members then had the chance to meet renowned Music Producer and Rapper Bobby Brackins, who has worked on music with powerhouses like Drake. They discussed music production routines and trends, and the members actively asked questions to quench their curiosities.
Finally, to have a healing day off, ChoCo1 went to Catalina Island, experienced their first helicopter ride, and couldn’t take their eyes off the wonderful scenery, especially when they saw a herd of bison on the side of the road. They also attempted ziplining, but even though Jake bravely challenged himself, he couldn’t help but burst into tears because of his acrophobia.
