**Garden of Eden and Friends** (Hangul: 이덴 동산과 그녀의 친구들입니다, *Garden of Eden and Her Friends*), shortened as **Eden and Friends**, is a biweekly interview/chat show hosted by Eden from the k-rock girlband GRAYA. It is posted every other Friday on YouTube. It premiered on September 30, 2022 on the YouTube channel with the same name in Korean. Every episode consists of Eden, occasionally a guest MC, and a guest, which can vary from one trainee to an entire group.

## Format

The show consists of Eden, her guest MC if applicable, and the guest sitting at a low table. Food is an important part in the show, as every guest must bring their “**forbidden fruit**” - a food or drink to bring to help Eden and her guest bond. The forbidden fruit can range anywhere from a small snack each member brings to an entire meal brought by the whole group. Eden also has her own food she brings each episode.

An important part of the show is the carefree and friendly atmosphere. Eden encourages the guests to be themselves, and she openly allows the guests to disregard formal language, helping the guests feel more comfortable. This informality and energy that Eden and the guest have been friends for a while even if they really haven’t also allows the guests to have more interesting and complex conversations.

### Segments

The show doesn’t have a strict format nor segments set in place, but the episodes usually follow this formula:

1. **Intro**: The beginning of the episode. Eden starts by walking into the room, establishing the theme if applicable, giving a brief introduction, and then introducing the guest(s). If the guests are promoting a comeback at the moment that they’re on the show, this is usually the time they get to perform their song. The performance is short, yet very chill and stress-free.
2. **Welcome**: The guests take a seat at the low table and give a proper introduction. Eden gives a brief interview about the guests’ current promotions or most recent release. After this introductory interview, the host and her guest(s) present the food they will be bonding over for the next ~25 minutes.
3. **Discussion**: This segment usually diverges from the food discussion, branching out into other topics and conversations. This is the bulk of the episode. Occasionally, the guest will be announced a day or two before the episode is filmed through the YouTube community page and viewers will be allowed to comment questions for the guest(s) to answer during the episode.

## Trivia

* Eden has full control over the channel and episodes. While there is a very small team that works behind the show, Eden pulls a lot of weight in the show's production. The first few episodes were edited by her.
* A running tradition on the show is to ask artists who produce and/or write their music about their songwriting process.
* Another running question asked is, if the guest is an idol, their experiences as a trainee. Eden mentioned in the Èclairè episode that she wants to get to know most of her guests' training experiences as she was not a trainee herself.
