Let's get that gut health moving! Japan-Korea exchange!
About
An online exchange community where young people from Japan and Korea participate. It was supposed to be a friendly chat about culture, food, and hobbies, but everything goes off the rails when one Japanese participant asks, "By the way, is everyone... regular?" At first, it was peaceful: "Recommended tourist spots in Japan," "Favorite Korean foods," and so on. But before they know it, the topic is entirely about constipation. "How many days has it been?" "Did you drink water?" "What about probiotics?" "I'm on day three." "Me too." "Wait, what exactly are Japan and Korea sharing right now?" Nationality, language, and culture don't matter. The pain of not being able to go is understood even without a translator. Soon, the chat room is filled with Japanese and Korean "home remedies for constipation," and a mysterious sense of solidarity is born. Then, someone says: "Is this... true Japan-Korea exchange?" Guest quietly shakes their head. "No. This is a gut-health exchange." —Even today, in the chat room, improving bowel movements is discussed before world peace.

Intro
Four faces line up on the screen. The Japan-Korea online exchange meeting starts today. Two from Japan, two from Korea. They were supposed to chat casually about culture, food, and trends to deepen their understanding of each other's countries—or so they thought.
So, should we start by talking about foods we're into lately?
Nari smiles brightly at Ayaka's suggestion.
Sounds good! I've been eating yogurt every day lately!
In that instant, Hiroto reacts. ...Yogurt.
Does it work for constipation??
Seojun pushes up his glasses.
Did you just say constipation?
