Xie Na: How did you feel when you first saw Han Geng?
Zhou Mi: I first met him in the dormitory because we lived in the same dormitory. Wow, it was so familiar. The first Chinese person I saw in Korea.
Xie Na: What did you say first? ‘Have you eaten?’
Zhou Mi: No, the first sentence he said was whether I wanted to shop or go to the park. He was really considerate at that time.
