나의 세상

A penny for my thoughts on Jay Park

2009-09-08T04:54:00.001-07:00

And so Park Jae Bum left, shouldering the heavy victory of the euphoric netizens, leaving behind a league of brokenhearted and indignant fans, bringing with him the sorrow and disappointment of those around him. I'm not usually one to write an expository essay on something as frivolous as pop singers, but this is so way blown out of proportion, its mind boggling.

Yes, I like 2PM. I have a good impression of their stage charisma. My knowledge of them however, is limited to the fact that I saw them perform on Kpop Night last year, as well as three of their songs, 10 out of 10, Only You, and Again and Again. I do not have the personal history and biodata of the guys at my fingertips like some of the fangirls. I do not know the individual names of the members. In fact, they look the same to me, I can't even tell them apart. Heck, I didn't even know this guy was called Jae Bum till I stumbled on this on the Daum news portal today. Yet, I feel strongly towards this incident. The whole thing just seems so monstrously out of proportion and unfair. I could be biased, but I try not to be, objectivity and impartiality is something I value.

So we all know the notorious, korea-hating comments the guy left on his myspace account. 4 long years ago. Maybe some don't, and it would suffice to say that his comments were tactless, harsh and politically incorrect. I can actually empathise with how the local koreans must have felt at having these words slap them in the face. I've felt the same way listening to people degrade my own country so many times. Call it patriotism, egoism, whatever you like, no one would feel great reading derogatory comments about one's homeland. I definitely don't and the number of debates people have gone through with me on this attest to the fact. Even so, surely there are more civil ways to confront this difference than to throw rocks at the guy, or start a petition for his suicide. Such reactions are just pure irrationality. One thing fans another, with no one level headed enough to stop the madness, to start being logical and civil about things. You simply do not ask a person to suicide, not under any circumstances. That's just completely out of line. If the death penalty is outlawed in so many states, meaning that even judges do not have the power to decide on another's death, who are the netizens to propagate the notion of death?

People can be so selective at times. No one bothered to find out if he wrote anything good after the select few comments. Obviously situational bias would have been part of the big picture, but no one wanted to integrate the context of which he wrote the insulting comments in their judgement of the situation. No one wanted to stop to think if they would have committed the same mistake he did. No one wanted to consider for a moment if the environment might indeed have been extremely foreigner unfriendly. No one wanted to empathise. There was only one thing in mind, to hold hands all together and stoke the fire of scorned wrath, to let it spread everywhere, faster than you can say wild bushfire. Its like people completely ceased rational thought, acting only on the initial rage on hearing the comments to expel the deviant one from the in-group. Now that's he's really left, the accusations of him being cowardly, running away, leaving his teammates in the lurch come flying fast and furious. What is the conclusion that people really want?

There were many reasons given to justify his comments, we have the fact that he was having a hard time as a trainee, difficulty in adapting to an entirely new environment, youth... fair enough. We've heard his side of the story, and even if you cannot excuse the harshness of his choice of words, you would at least empathize with him to a certain degree. Everyone's been through some shit at some point in life, and while we can say not everyone reacts like he did, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that colourful verbal expression is a common outlet for many to vent their frustrations. Especially when you were brought up in a place like America, where freedom of expression isn't just valued, its a way of life. I'm not saying that his actions should have been condoned. What he did was wrong, period. However the severity of the entire situation seems grossly inproportionate to the extent of his mistake. No one is denying the existence of his comments, they were there, he apologised, and we should move on. But this mistake was amplified to colossal hugeness, mainly because of his pop-idol status. Honestly, would this have caused such a massive brouhaha if it were written the average joe? We all know in our hearts, that it probably wouldn't have.

In many areas in life, we are given second chances. A second chance in love, a second chance to repent, a second chance to change ourselves. It looks like artistes are subject to a double standard just because of the attention they are given by the media and masses. There just aren't second chances, and there isn't any room at all for making right a wrong. The system works with an almost clockwork precision that's terrifying. A single mistake and you ought to DIE. You deserve all the rocks pelted at you, you deserve all the ugly insults hurled at you. Oh, but the average citizen like us is exempted from this. And OF COURSE I wouldn't commit such a fallacy. Even if I did say something this bad, it'd be because someone else was going overboard. Do you see where this is going? Sadly, this is really how a lot of us think in many situations, and it is not restricted to the discussion of this unfortunate incident.

Isn't it terribly ironical so many of us subject others to double standards like this just because of a career choice? Pop idols are infallible, faultless, flawless, and they don't make mistakes. Doctors are the saints of the earth, they are ethical, they save lives, they will do no wrong. Lawyers, judges, they will stand up for the oppressed, uphold justice in the world. What sets these people apart from the rest of us? Their career training? The money they spent to come this far? Or do they really have some kind of innate and intangible virtue that make them float in the air above us all? Its like we are overextending our expectations of virtuous godliness to a select group, forgetting an extremely fundamental point. We all make mistakes. Its human. Its inevitable. Godliness exists in books, in fiction, try as we might, we won't be achieving it anytime soon.

And so his biggest mistake wasn't that he wrote something so grossly politically incorrect. The biggest mistake he made was that click of his finger, he set the stage for the entire world to nose around, to pick on every single word, to point accusatory fingers at him, to fan the fire so huge that he would lose his budding career. What about his comrades, who've lost their direction with the downfall of their leader? Who can these young men with a once bright and promising future with endless possibilities blame? Already their future looks bleak, and my heart goes out to them. Already one has gone down at the airport, and I hope they remain strong to tide each other through this. I can't even begin to imagine the psychological impact/trauma the protagonist of this headline is going through. Must be the psychology training I'm getting in my course. Netizens wanted him to be punished? Don't you already have the punishment meted out? Probable death of career, wrath of just about everybody and anybody, rocks and potential lasting psychological damage. I'd say that's quite more than enough to atone for his sins from 4 years ago. Or maybe not, some others would say. Its never enough till the end. Whatever the end they're looking for is.

And with a click of my finger, I might be repeating the same mistake so many others have made.

But there's a difference between our situations. I'm not affected by the incident. I'm not a celebrity, I'm not a fangirl, neither am I a part of the netizens. I'm just an on-looker who's thoughts on this don't really matter in the aftermath of this chaotic mess.

The difference is, I'm a nobody.

Try hard, but not too hard.

2009-01-10T06:16:00.000-08:00

There are just SOME things one shouldn't try without at least several years of professional training under one's belt, as well as an exclusive environment of practice. Even with all that, you need a pair of sharp ears and an agile tongue (ok this sounded BAAD. But think positively of this statement, get your mind out of the gutter!)

Let me emphasize that I'm filled with admiration for these singers who do crossovers (specifically language crossovers), because of their sincerity in reaching out to another market. Its a tremendously difficult task, I know. My own korean sounds dumb even to myself at times, and its not like I don't recognise that english can be annoyingly difficult on the tongue for adult learners, and mandarin, being a tonal language, can be even worse. Even in spite of this, sometimes I'm just so horror struck by bad pronunciation that I start to freeze up.

I get the economical sense of singing foreign language songs, especially when most record companies are looking into a global audience to maximize sluggish album sales. The thing is, it seems like they just throw their singers into the deep end, making them sing in different languages without proper training in the language. Its glaringly apparent, especially when the singers themselves say "I'm sorry, its been long since I've sung this version, I've forgotten my pronunciation." Notice they say pronunciation. Not lyrics. Meaning that they've basically just memorized a bunch of romanised stuff to sing along the way without meaning. I know its hard to pick up a language, but it should make practical sense to get some quality pronunciation and basic conversational lessons if you're going to be conquering a foreign market that spans a wide base of people for a substantial period of time.

I listen almost exclusively to 가요 these days, so my examples sway towards the 가요 scene, but this is an interesting situation that is NOT limited to the korean market. Many HK singers take years to perfect singing in mandarin without a noticeable twang, and there are a bunch of singers who sound resplendent in their native language but utterly HORRID when they try to take on say, english songs. Even if they don't take language lessons, I wish they'd at least employ a native to drill them in the particular song they're taking on, so that they don't sound so silly. At least make it a perfect fake right?

I have to admit though. Its entertaining to hear these crossover songs. I went into an uncontrollable laughing fit when I heard 주문 in mandarin. That was when I hadn't seen the lyrics. When I listened again with the lyrics, my fit upgraded itself into spasms. It was the same thing when I heard Love Story. Granted, Rain's chinese has improved by leaps and bounds since the disastrous Shou Ji. The standard is still hovering near his English though (and we all know the general consensus regarding this issue). Its really a pity, since I ADORE the two songs, and I had high expectations for the respective different songs. Maybe its exactly because the expectations I had were too high, and so I'm rather disappointed. Who writes the lyrics for these songs anyway? They sound SO AWKWARD! Not to mention tongue twisting for non natives. Its back to listening to the original versions for these. Originals are still the best.

Hit or miss? You decide.

[ENG SUB] LSG KBS acceptance speech

2009-01-08T09:15:00.001-08:00

Translated by me, subbed by bedifferent unnie. Enjoy.

꽃보다 남자..

2009-01-06T09:39:00.000-08:00

The wonders of the internet.
9.55pm, Korea time. Airing of 꽃보다 남자.
11.30pm, Singapore time. I watched the first cut of the episode on youtube.
01.30am, Singapore time. HQ entai version on my desktop for my viewing pleasure.

How fast can things get?? Even our 1박2일 team doesn't work this fast. I'm lucky enough to be able to watch the episodes as they are and not have to wait for the subtitles, but from what I know, works on the subtitles have been madly fast too, especially the Chinese ones. I take my hat off to those working on the series. Translating is no joke, and after almost half a year of experience at it, I'm still learning a lot. And I can't even IMAGINE moving on to doing a series as of yet. I must say, they are 대박!

So far, the two episodes I have watched have sucessfully hooked me. I have watched the taiwanese and japanese versions, and like I've done in the past, I'm NOT, absolutely NOT comparing them. I hate it when people do that. You should appreciate a series in its individuality and entirety, and not start making petty comparisons based on casting, etc. There certainly are strengths and weaknesses in each of the versions, and its not fair to make comparisons just based on the fact that the series are (a lot of times very loosely) based on the same manga.

With that down, I'm going to watch the episode again. Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. Recapping of 1N2D, translating more of the cuts left out by KBS, and hopefully with some time to do a recap on 꽃보다 남자.

**I know I haven't been updating lately, but it isn't because I've stopped watching the usual stuff, more of like life biting me in the arse. But I'm still working on whatever I'm supposed to be working on. Just give me some time :)
I'm totally hooked.

1N2D Episode 83

2008-12-10T20:36:00.001-08:00

*Please do not take out without permission*

We get a flashback of the past, and ...

They fight for their second item, the radish, and the PD tells them that the game will be flipping a coin, to which they win.

They continue with the bok bull bok game. The guys have won the radish, leeks and red pepper powder, and the next item they are fighting for is the chopped garlic. MCM volunteers himself for the next game.

MCM: I'll do this! No matter what I'll do this one!

PD tells them that the game to be played is 5 stones (throwing 5 'stones' and making sure you catch them all. Its a childhood game that we often play). MCM is delighted upon hearing this.

MCM: I'm good at this! I'm good at it!
KHD: Great great great! He's good at this! Great, great! Now, we'll have MC Mong!

MCM gets ready for the challenge, and KimC asks for the stones, presumably to test things out before MCM does anything. KHD joins in asking MCM to pass them the stones for a moment, while MCM is babbling to himself that he can do it for sure.

MCM: I can do it, I can do it...
KHD: I know that, now give it! (whacks hard on MCM's thighs)

Of course, MCM falls down in his typical wild monkey, exaggerated manner, and KHD laughs while asking for the stones. In the midst of all the confusion, Eun ChoDing surfaces and makes full use of the situation to deliver a few well aimed kicks at MCM. Its a hilarious scene! MCM then passes the stones to KHD, who explains with a demonstration that if any of the stones fall on the ground, then that's considered a fail. He asks MCM if he understands, and MCM told him nonchalantly that he does.

MCM then proceeds to demonstrate his skills at playing the 5 stones game, and boy, he sure is GOOD at it! Everyone is impressed by him and naturally they are delighted, with high hopes that they would win the game. MCM gets ready to play the game, and EJW casually comments that if they don't have the garlic MCM is going to be in trouble. MCM seems to hesitate for a moment, and he doesn't throw the stones. Everyone sighs in part frustration and worry that MCM will fail them. The wild monkey himself is pretty worried too, and the worry clearly showed through his face and words. He turns to KHD.

MCM: (If I lose) You aren't going to hit me right?
KHD: Hmm?
MCM: You're not going to hit me right?
KHD: Just do it!*
MCM: Promise that you won't hit me!
KHD: (If you lose) Just think that you are going to die!

[If he loses, he's in for it!]

*(notice onscreen, it says (일단) 해봐요! Its actually a play on KHD's words, KHD says just do it, but with the two words in the parenthesis added in, it actually means I'll do it later, meaning KHD will hit him after he loses. Not sure if KHD actually had the intention of the pun on words though, haha)

With KHD's 'gentle' threat, MCM has no choice but to go on ahead and play the game. At this juncture, he seems affected by KHD's threat and is really worried.

MCM: Wow~ I'm really nervous now...
LSGuen, KHD: Its ok, just do it calmly as you normally would...
KHD: You are not going to be held responsible, just do it calmly! Its not your responsibility, be calm!
MCM: Wow, I'm really very nervous... What should I do?
The guys hold their heads in unspoken worry
MCM: I'm just gonna do it.
KHD: Yes, yes, do it!

MCM tosses the stones and flips them ever so gracefully with a flick of his hand, and the stones fell back beautifully onto his palm like metal to a magnet. The guy is really good at this, I remember it took me really long to master this when I was young! Everyone is thrilled and starts jumping around in glee at MCM's feat. MCM starts praising himself in front of the camera again, and KHD sweeps him into a huge bear hug. The captions are really funny here [Now I'm not gonna hit you!] LOL!

Having won all 4 of the items up for challenge so far, they move on to the next item, the main star of their dinner, the fish. Its a huge one, and everyone cooed over it. The PD then asks them to choose their next player, and EJW is picked. PD then tells them that the ajumas (middle aged women) who work there are usually bored at night and often play go-stop to while their time away, and thus their next task would be to play a game of go-stop with the ajuma representative. Since EJW was picked as their representative, he'd have to play the game. Everyone is visibly shocked at this, including EJW.

KHD voices his concern about playing go-stop (the gambling part) on the program, and LSGuen reassures him.

LSGuen: My parents in Yang Pyeong, after they've finished all their farm work in winter, they'd play Go-Stop. They would also pool their loose change together and buy some delicious food to eat and play together. Its also good for preventing dementia. Its not something bad, but something that they family does together for fun.

KHD then decides its ok and brings in the ajuma for their own version of Tazza (gambling) on Waeyeondo. As the women make their appearance, KimC shows his sense of humour again.

KimC: Can I have a look at your arms? (runs his hands over the lady's arms) All right, she doesn't have any flower cards hidden up here...!

The ajuma bursts out laughing at that. They start the game proper, picking cards to decide who goes first, while EJW grumbles about MCM.

EJW: I seem to have no luck because of him.

MCM ignores him. EJW picks his card and gets an 8. The ajuma also picks her card, and LSGuen screams suddenly.

LSGuen: WAIT! (holds her hand) Are you going to fool around right from the start?! You took 3 cards!
Ajuma: No, but we do it like this around here...

Anyway, EJW gets to go first, and KHD lays down the ground rules. Whoever gets 7 points first will win the game (look at the Go Stop tutorial link at the end of my summary if you want to know how its calculated). LSGuen adds that if they get 7 points with a Wongo, they would get an extra pack of ramyeon. With that, they go on with the game. EJW gets a great start, and they guys start commenting that they should play for money (since the cards look great). PD tells them they're playing for the extra ramyeon already, so they won't be able to play with money. Ajuma deals her card, and there's a reversal of sorts, which throws everyone into a fit of panic. EJW however, looks delighted, and sticks a card (apparently his trump card for the moment) onto his forehead. He currently gets 2 points. The game fast forwards and we see a frustrated ajuma, as EJW continues his winning streak and accumulates 6 points. He decides to go, and a few moments later he gets a 2 go. Its at the crux of the game to decide who wins, and everyone is nervous. Ajuma draws a card, and the guys win. They let out a huge roar, which frustrates the ajuma to no end. She throws down the card in a small but cute fit. The guys count their points, and they win with 16 points to EJW. With the end of the game, the 3 ladies also leave the room. KHD and the guys thank the ladies as they take their leave, and shut the door behind them.

KHD: The lady seemed like she was really angry just now.

LSGuen reminds them that they should start calculating all their wins and keeping track of things. With the Go-Stop game, the guys have also earned and additional item, their all time favourite ramyeon.

As they round up the items they have earned, LSGuen suddenly remembers his poor dong-saeng who's still stuck on Nok-do.

LSGuen: Should we fetch (Seung Gi) now? We can go on the boat..
KHD: Go on the boat and get Seung Gi?
PD: Well, we can do it if all of you here want to.
KHD: That would be a waste then!
KImC: Why?
KHD: Taking the boat and going to and fro for Seung Gi... I don't wish to go on that journey!

Poor LSG. He's lonely and and jilted by his hyungs.

LSG: They just left me behind here, it's really too much. They're all dead, really!

Back at the house, the guys, or rather, MCM is cooking dinner. He seems like such a homely guy, always caring for the others and helping out with dinner.

EJW: There's too much water!
MCM ignores EJW and continues to ask his mom for cooking instructions on the phone, and hangs up shortly.
MCM: There's not even a person to make the food, and you're talking over there... (continues mumbling)
LSGuen: Haha.. he's nagging.
MCM: (throws down the cover) I'm angry... I won't do it...

He continues to mumble and grumble, hahaha. Guys are usually like this when they are forced to cook :D

LSGuen: Mong ah do you need help?
MCM: Su Guen hyung! Come help with the soup, where have you gone to now?
LSGuen: You do it! I've already boiled it!

KimC starts laughing at LSGuen's wisecrack. Finally the dishes are cooked, and the guys tuck in with great relish. The soup is really yummy, and KHD asks MCM a question.

KHD: Did you put the ramyeon soup base in?
MCM: No, I didn't even put in a packet of those!
LSGuen: Then this is chemical free.
MCM: Its absolutely a no go for me! My food will not contain (these chemicals). I won't drink ramen soup.
LSGuen: Then what's your secret method to get rid of the fishy stench?
MCM: I added in kanari, and soy sauce.
EJW: Wow, you couldn't drink kanari back then and now you are talking about it so well..
KHD: I think you can go open a restaurant! Isn't it?

The guys coin MCM's cooking as Mong Guemi, and they do a hilarious CF for it, with Mong Jang Guem (this is with reference to Dae Jang Guem) as the cook. The food does look really yummy! Well, after the feast, the guys have to settle the problem of sleeping.

KHD: PD, are we all going to sleep indoors today? Because its so cold..
PD: We were actually thinking of getting all of you to sleep outdoors once in winter.
LSGuen: What? Oh my god!
MCM: So 3 of us are going in the tent?
PD: Since Lee Seung Gi is already sleeping outdoors, we'll have two of you..
KHD: Two people, two people. Let's do it now. What should we do? Can we think of our game too?
PD: Oh well, of course, why not?

After some thought, they remember the blanket game that they played a few weeks back, and decide on it. KHD suggest that they should play scissors, paper and stone within the five f them, and the one who gets picked to be IT (the tagger for the blanket game) will have to sleep outside no matter what. Thus the person who gets to be IT will get to catch a guy to sleep outdoors with him. KHD also comes up with the brilliant idea that if a staff member is caught, the staff member will have to sleep outdoors too.

Everyone is nervous when they finally play the game to pick the tagger. KHD, LSGuen and MCM get through the first round, leaving the agonised EJW and KimC to battle it out. Round 2 of the game and KimC is picked to be the tagger, which automatically entitles him to sleep outdoors. KimC curls into a ball on the floor in anguish. He then gets ready to be the tagger, and KHD explains that they will be allowed to pivot around the point with their legs where they have chosen to hide in in the case the tagger comes near them, but if they move their legs, they will be out and chosen to sleep outdoors. With that, KimC begins counting down, and turns 5 rounds on the floor before going on his hunt. EJW tosses his jacket over to KHD's spot to lure KimC there, which earns him a fist from KHD. EJW throws another item out towards KHD and KHD returns the favour by throwing EJW's jacket back. KimC then goes in teh direction of EJW.

KimC: Oh, what's this?
Staff: Its a camera.

Everyone else tries to hold in their giggles. KHD is now perking precariously between the door and drawer, with LSGuen beside him near the fridge. MCM is hiding near the room door while EJW is holed up beside the staff member. KimC goes near the staff, waving his hand wildly, nearly tagging EJW, but missing him just by a bit to land his hands on the staff's head. This game is really exciting!

Staff: I'm a staff member.
KimC: Sorry.

EJW is delighted at the close shave, and LSGuen giggles at the comical sight. Meanwhile, KimC heads over to where MCM is, making LSGuen even happier, signing to KHD in his absolute joy. Just as KimC is getting dangerously near MCM, EJW lends a helping hand and claps. KimC is distracted by the sound.

KimC: Oh? Where is it now?

LSGuen lets out a cough, I think it was intentional, to mislead KimC.

KimC: Oh! That's Kang Ho Dong!

LSGuen tries again to distract KimC and looks to EJW for help. But EJW refuses to help him! :D In the end, LSGuen lets out a squeaking noise with his palm against the refrigerator as he tries to avoid KimC tagging him, which ultimately leads to his fate of sleeping outdoors. Such a big turn of events! This game is absolutely silly, but so crazily fun at the same time! I'm so playing this on my next MT when it comes :D

MCM: Wow, I was so nervous when he came to my side!
MCM: Mong ah, when he went over to you hyung helped you by clapping continuously!
LSGuen: Ah.. this is really ridiculous!

Hence, the final two picked for outdoors sleeping are LSGuen and KimC. After some more fooling around, the boys head outside to fish. EJW gets all excited and starts screaming for KHD when LSGuen catches a huge fish.

EJW:HoDong hyung! He caught one! Su Guen hyung!

They bring the fish in for KHD to admire (don't you love these sweet kids? They ALWAYS show KHD everything, and first :)) and KHD marvels at the enormous fish.

KHD: Its awfully big! How are we supposed to take this out?
KimC: Hey we can just eat this.

The woman (who lost the Go Stop game, haha) comes out to help them prepare the fish (yum, sashimi!)

KHD: Do you get such big ones often?
Woman: (in frustration) What do you mean by this is big!

KHD still gets his sashimi, which he proudly flaunts in front of the camera. His thought bubble shows us his wish for some mortal enjoyment.

[I wish there was a bottle of soju]
[So]

KHD: Let's do a simulation since we have nothing to drink! Have a glass!

[Acting like there's soju!]

KHD: Love shot~!

[Fresh sashimi, goes best with cho jang*!]

*this is apparently some kind of soy sauce mixed with vinegar and pine-nut meal.

KimC and KHD launch into playacting with their imaginary soju shots, while chowing down the glistening sashimi that was fresh out of the sea with lots of kimchi. KHD really loves raw fish. He even showed off his english with KimC to show his satisfaction, with a loud "unbelievable". Haha. I think that's the only english word KHD knows. They continue to act like there's plenty of alcohol available.

KHD: Hey hey hey, its spilling out.

Haha. Even KimC plays along this time. Are these guys really dads (to-be)? Meanwhile, LSGuen is amazed by the number of fishes they are catching.

LGGuen: Hahaha!! Mong caught one too!
MCM: AH!! Mine's big!

LSGuen catches another one. His reaction is ADORABLE, prancing around like a little kid excitedly. Who says LSGuen can't be cute?

LSGuen: Its not like as if I'm some kind of moving (fish) farm...
MCM: Oh, this one is big! Its big!

MCM gets a 일타이피, which basically means two in one go. He somehow manages to get two fishes using only one rod, and both fishes are quite big!

LSGuen: Is there someone diving down there?

He's indeed our resident comedian. MCM too, comments on their fishing streak, and we move back to the two indoors who are drunk on imaginary soju.

KHD: Drink more, you! Fill this to the brim!

LOL. I can't imagine if the guys really go drinking. KHD forces KimC into feeding each other with soju, and then asks for a kiss. As usual, KimC panics upon hearing the dreaded word bobo (kiss). KHD pretends to be devastated.

KHD: When you did the 'freeze-up'*, because of you, I cried so much! You've had a tough time. You even took off your clothes!

[KimC's nightmarish memory!]

*refers to the previous episode where KimC was forced to take off his clothes in a cardboard box in the freezing cold for a game.

KimC: Seung Gi, because of his image... due to my belly fats I couldn't take it off (? not sure what he's trying to say, but should be along the lines that he didn't want to show the world how skinny he is). If I took off my clothes... (wipes away his imaginary tear)

Flashback to the past. Its hilarious how they are digging up the past and making a big fuss out of it, 'drunkenly'.

KimC: I didn't get any presents from my fans for 4 years... but because I took it (his clothes) off, I got presents! Relief supplies! I got relief supplies (as presents)!

This is way too funny! The way KimC described his agony was simply too funny. KHD then tried to comfort him, saying that he was stripped down to leave only his loincloth (because he was a sirreum wrestler) in front of the cameras, with the entire nation watching.

[Even though he won in wrestling...]
[He was embarrassed by his (lack of) clothes...!]

KHD: Drinking all this alcohol makes me think of back then, there was one thing that could possibly happen that made me really nervous. When the athletes get to the wrestling ground, they would be without their loincloth. I was really nervous (and afraid) of that happening.

KimC nearly dissolves into giggles at hearing KHD's imagined fear. KHD goes on to share a little more about his sirreum experience.

KHD: There was once, in a match, when the score was 2:2. I was a match away from winning, and I'd be the strongest man on earth*. But I had no more strength... Pour me another cup!!

(*meaning champion, he used an idiom here)

KHD continues to moan over his loss after downing a one shot.

KHD: Now when I think back to then... I was just a match away from being the strongest!

What's done is done. They laugh, and MCM returns with his catch. Stepping in, he finds the guys in the middle of their play, and he starts acting like a drunk too. Both MCM and EJW join in the drinking, and MCM starts the ball rolling again.

MCM: KimC hyung! Tell us something sad!
KHD: Tell us something sad then.
KimC: Honestly, if you want me to say something, during the broadcast... Mong... was suddenly beaten...
MCM: You are right, hyung-nim!
KimC: I felt great through it!
MCM: Yah~~~ this is funny... Funny. Hyung, do you know how I feel? Do you know how I feel?

MCM starts screaming at KimC about how he he feels, and EJW gives him a knock on his head when the staff and KHD start the whole "hey your hyung is talking you know" routine.

[Your hyungs are talking!]

MCM: What's that for!
EJW: Wha..t?
MCM: Hyung what did you mean by that?

Again MCM starts yelling about how EJW is using their hyung-dongsaeng status to shut him up and stuff. Notice the whole exchange is really funny since MCM is speaking in sattori, which means a local dialect (actually KHD speaks with one throughout his drunk acting too). The funniest thing is that before he gets up, he says something I can't decipher, to which the screen flashes:

[What kind of sattori is this again...?]

EJW gets exasperated, and stands up too. He starts beating up MCM, while KHD and KimC roll on the floor giggling madly. MCM decides to fight back, and throws his coat down, revealing the FUNNIEST and BEST clothes he's EVER worn on 1N2D. I used to think his green hoodie jacket that can be zipped all the way up to the head was the funniest thing ever. Well. Not anymore. This one takes the cake. He unzips the jacket with a skeleton drawn on to reveal another shirt with an IDENTICAL skeleton drawing. Everyone melts into a puddle of laughter, BUT! MCM takes off his pants to reveal another pair of matching skeleton long pants underneath! This is apparently his long johns, oh my goodness me. Everyone breaks out into uncontrollable guffaws, all red at the neck at this spectacularly hilarious sight. Eun Cho Ding KOs, and KHD declares that he gives up, leaving MCM to yell for another bottle of soju. KHD applauds MCM, who asks if its over, saying that he feels embarrassed. KHD asks where he got the clothes from (I wanna know too!), and MCM shows us the real wow factor of his jacket. Turns out that this one can be zipped all the way up too, completing the whole skeleton look! How cool is that?! He launches into his Rain Tears dance, which just totally KILLS KimC.

Amidst the fun and laughter, poor LSG zips himself into his sleeping bag and prepares to sleep alone. The other guys have had enough fun for the day, and KHD proceeds to chase the guys out for the night when the PD comes in.

PD: Thanks for your hard work today. Who's going into the tent tonight?
KimC and LSGuen
PD: Tomorrow morning, when you guys wake up, there'll be a mission for you. You'll have to wake up at 8.30am. When the morning song starts, you will also have to get out and start running to get breakfast. The main menu will be wild sea mussels. Here, have a look at it.
KHD: Wait a minute! Wow! Is it bigger because its wild?

PD is smart! He shows them the huge mussel to tempt the guys, so that they will wake up the next morning. Everyone marvels at the mussels, passing it around. They confirm with the PD that 2 of them are not going to get to eat, which leads them to worry about LSG again. Finally, we move on to find out how the poor boy's holding up.

LSG starts talking to the audience about his being left behind on Nok-do, and introduces us to his new found greatest mission.

LSG: Dear viewers,
My secret journey from Nok-do to Waeyeondo!
[Secret journey to Waeyeondo?]

[10 hours before]
LSG: Sir! By chance are there any... (his question gets cut off)
Guy: Tomorrow morning.. we are setting out at dawn
LSG: Can I by any chance take the boat at dawn?
Guy: Sure, its possible.

So LSG's here to check out if there's any way he can sneak onto the island where the guys are and he's really excited at the thought of being able to leave the island. Apparently he was planning to persuade the fisherman guy to send him to Waeyeondo, but the the fisherman guy tells him that they are going near Waeyeondo, and that freeze frame of LSG is just plain funny with the caps

Why, this is a piece of cake!!!

Naturally he asks the guy if he could hitch a ride to Waeyeondo the next day, and the writer and VJ chime in behind with their wishes that they MUST, PLEASE get onto the island the next day. The fisherman guy obliges, and LSG leaves the place the happiest boy ever. Back at his resting area, LSG tells us he's setting off at 3am in the morning, and asks the viewers to watch over him from that instant to the moment he lands on Waeyeogdo and films his 'interview'. Ah, such a cute guy.

Back at Waeyeondo however, everyone is asleep, no one even remotely interested in their magnae LSG. We are also given a glimpse into MCM's sleeping habits as he cuddles up to EJW and treats him as a personal bolster. No wonder these guys wake up a few times throughout the night, their sleeping habits are really... unique :D

Meanwhile in the dark of the night (or day), LSG gets ready to sneak onto the island.

LSG: Alright, finally! Nok-do yah, bye bye! Here's Nok-do's beautiful night scene. I have to complete my mission, so here's a little PR (public relations)! This is really a great place, everyone, please do visit Nok-do! Bye bye! Ah.. Its really a very lucky day today, it seems I won't get seasick too?

[A while later]
[Seasickness sets in]

LSG: I think I was overconfident! I'm a little seasick!

With that, LSG starts helping the guys on board with their fishing. The catch is huge, and they start shoving everything into the big baskets. LSG gives a little sigh, being worn out from the lack of sleep and rough waves.

LSG: Sigh~, my head hurts...!

Even so, the cutie manages to find joy in his suffering and strikes a few cute poses with the octopuses that they've caught. He even starts to make fun of his hyungs in his delight.

LSG: Oh, this one looks like HoDong hyung! Oh oh oh oh! (snaps up in shock)

[Shocked by the fish that looks like HoDong]

LSG: My seasickness just disappeared! HoDong hyung! HoDong hyung! (moves to another part of the ship) ENDURE! Arghhhhh!

Boy seems to be having lots of fun even when seasick! he even catches a crab, which slyly pinches his fingers. He flings the crab down in pain, only to scream a loud YAHHH! at the little mischievous crab. Never one to give up, LSG picks the crab up again and puts it in place.

I don't know about you!

With this, two hours flew by, and LSG reaches the island at last.

LSG: Was this place originally so bright with all the lights?

LSG nearly mistakes the lights for the lighting crew. But the fisherman guy tells him otherwise.

LSG: For a moment I thought, our staff knew we were coming back and were quietly preparing for us.

[But]
[The staff, his hyungs]
[are all asleep]

LSG thanks the fishermen and gets onshore.

LSG: Oh! What's this?
Guy: This is your allowance (pay)!

His pay comes in the form of assorted (raw) seafood. The fishermen are really kind! Our tired out LSG then carries out his long awaited arrival interview.

LSG: Alright now, finally! Finally! I'm here! Ah, applause! Let's move! But where are they? Where's our location?
VJ: Um, I don't know?
Scriptor: I don't know.
LSG: You don't know where it is? Really?
Scriptor: I didn't get a reply (from the rest).
LSG: Really?
[What's this again...]
LSG: Ah, I didn't think of where they're staying!

[It was so hard getting to Waeyeondo...]
[But he's alone in the place again!]

LSG: You really don't know? There's no place we can call?

There's no one they can call since this is supposed to be a secret trip. Inspiration suddenly hits LSG.

LSG: Should we go ask the moms there?

He runs over to ask the women working on the boats for information, and they help him of course. Luckily enough for LSG, the women actually know where the rest of the members are putting up at. He sets off to join the rest.

LSG: It seems like 1N2D team can't keep the place they are staying under wraps, doesn't it? The residents all know where we are!

Well, this IS one of the hottest varieties in Korea!

LSG: Wow, I'm really going to cry! This is so tough...

While on his way to meet his hyungs, Seung Gi runs into a sleeping Sang Guen first, and his joy at seeing a familiar face is overwhelming.

Sang Guen ah! Sang Guen ah, hyung's here! Sang Guen ah!

But Sang Guen is sleeping and has no energy to entertain LSG! Disappointed, LSG shuts the door behind him in a huff.

Psh! I've been snubbed by the dog!

We follow his sad figure as he continues his search for the base camp after being ignored by Sang Guen. He makes a huge discovery along the way.

The outdated and old sports shoes of 2 years is here!

He's finally found the place! LSG makes his way quietly in, carefully opening the sliding doors so as not to wake anyone up. One of the staff stirs and turns around in his sleep, and LSG immediately shrinks back. When everything settles and he confirms everyone is still asleep, LSG sneaks in quietly into the room. He pops his head into the room where the older guys are sleeping and no one stirs. Since there's no one for him to vent at, he turns to the camera.

I'm back here.

You let go of me and went off! You're all dead!!!

Finally, he heads off to visit the tent team who are sleeping in the wild. He starts head-counting, which leads to hilarious results.

[One guy... two guys...]

LSG: There aren't any other people besides the two here? Only two guys?

[There are 3 guys in the room+ 2 guys in the tent = 5 guys?]

But we originally had 6 people... AH! Me! Me...! I wasn't here!

[Huh-dang...]
[He's had a rough time]
[He postpones his revenge]
[And goes to sleep first!]
[He sleeps beside his hyungs]

As usual, there's plenty of snoring going on in the room, and our light sleeper Huh-dang is awakened by it.

[I'm going crazy.. What kind of sound is this again?]
[Now, this is a comforting sound next to his ears]
[Ah.. So I've made my way to my hyung's side]
[HoDong suddenly wakes and sits up]
[He wakes to go to the washroom but]
[He doesn't even know that Seung Gi has arrived...]
[Without second thoughts]
[He goes back into dreamland...!]
[And here]
[This time JiWon?]
[He doesn't even know that Seung Gi has arrived...]
[Searching only for the comforter]
[Goes back into dreamland...]
[He was anticipating for something to happen]
[But nothing happened at all]
[And time went by...]
[Mong claimed all the entire comforter for himself again!]
[?]
[AH!]
[There's a comforter...]
[As expected, nothing happens...]
[Only getting the comforter]
[And lies back into his place, Ji Won]
[. . . ?]
[Who's that occupying the space and sleeping...]
[! ! !]
[Something seems strange?]
[What's that?]

MCM: ... y...ouu~? When did you come?
LSG: Hmm? Huh?
MCM: Oh? Seung Gi came, Seung Ji* ah! Seung Gi, Seung Gi came? Hmm hyung! Hmm... Aigoo Seung Gi yah, i really missed you!
LSG: You missed me?
MCM: Yea...
LSG: I'll listen to your afterthoughts a little later... They aren't in the least bit concerned, those over there.
MCM: Eh.. Seung Gi is here!!
LSG: Its alright hyung! Just sleep a little more.

(MCM pronounced LSG's name a little off with his morning voice. MCM is utterly adorable in the morning, so dazed!)

Morning comes and the guys are not awake yet, and we see LSG has hung his bag of pay outside KimC and LSGuen's tent. KHD snores deeply, while EJW gives off cute little snores (I didn't say this, the captions did! :D) The table is set for 3 with warm clam soup and side dishes, waiting for the early birds. Instead of the usual morning song, we have a guy counting down (in english!) to their big race for breakfast. Seung Gi stirs and soon the other guys are forced awake too. Looks like all the priming worked on MCM, he jumped up immediately, grabbed his coat and headed out in a flash. While he started out strolling leisurely, his competitive streak (or should we say survival instinct?) kicked in and he stared running. All this just for breakfast.

[Meanwhile]
[The 3 people in the room]
[Still don't know that Seung Gi has arrived]

[The one person who's unknown]

[!]

EJW: Hyung, Seung Gi's here.
KHD: Seung Gi yah!

[He seemed shocked/scared]
[Am I dreaming or awake...]

LSG: What's going on? Why did you abandon me and leave!
KHD: How did you come?
LSG: I took a boat, boat.
EJW: Seung Gi yah~~~~
LSG: I took a boat at 3am and arrived at 6am. You didn't miss me at all i think, you didn't even make a call to me? How can you be like this?
EJW: I missed you, Seung Gi yah.

LSG: How could you be like this?
EJW: You're the precious baby of your hyung, do you know that?
LSG: Yea, this is great. I can't open my eyes, I couldn't even sleep...

At this juncture, KimC makes a sudden visit to the house, and LSG waves a lazy hello to him.

Oh, Kim C hyung!

[?]
[!]
[He's shocked into silence]

Nice to see you hyung...

[He immediately atones for his 'crime']
[Seung Gi, hyung has done you wrong...]

LSG: Hyung how could you do this?
KimC: You came back alive..
LSG: I thought I was dead. On the boat..
KimC: Your dark eye circles have gone all the way down!

Back at the tent, LSGune has just woken up and is preparing to race for breakfast. He is momentarily shocked at the bag that LSG hung outside their tent earlier. The guys in the house are still half awake until a female staff comes in to remind them of their race.

PD: Here, we need two of you to set off. There's already one (competitor) who's reached.
LSG: What's that?
KHD: Um, that's not important...

[He says its not important]
[But he prepares to leave?]
[KimC gets up fast too]
[This atmostphere is REALLY~ weird...]
[Seung Gi looks to have to set off no matter what]

KHD: Seung Gi! Seung Gi! You don't have to be concerned with this, Seung Gi yah!

[While KimC is searching for his clothes]
[Seung Gi quickly goes out]
[At the same time, Su Guen sets off too]
[Seung Gi is putting on his shoes]
[Runs away right under his nose, Lee Su Guen]
[As expected he doesn't realise its Seung Gi]
[And follows the scent of breakfast]
[The two set off at the same time]

KimC: You don't even know where it is! Hey to your right! Right!

[He also tries to obstruct Seung Gi]
[But Seung Gi finds his way well]
[KimC presses behind]
[And tries to catch up with all his might]
[Seung Gi follows his example and sprints]
[Huh?]
[...Who's that guy!!]
[Su Guen is shocked at Seung Gi's sudden appearance]

LSGuen: Isn't that Seung Gi?

[You're right, I'm Seung Gi!]
[Like this,]
[The three guys, Seung Gi, KimC, Su Guen]
[Are the second group to make their way to breakfast]
[One person gives up...]
[Meanwhile currently in 1st place MC Mong]
[Ah! Its a celebrity!]
[He doesn't fall behind]
[But still makes time for a greeting!]
[And HoDong]
[Sits in the sun..?]
[And the latest to set off, Ji Won]
[Is like a bear woken up from his hibernation]
[While they are strolling]
[There's intense competition in the second place group]
[Mong, who's currently first, makes time for some sight seeing]
[And the group in second place gives chase]
[He starts running like like a madman!]
[Using all his strength, MC Mong]

KimC and LSG continue to compete against each other for breakfast, while LSGuen throws the towel in and asks the cameramen to confirm his suspicion.

LSGuen: That's Seung Gi isn't it? Am I the 4th then? Who's the first one there?
VJ: Mong

The bear family KHD and EJW continue to stroll along. As expected, MCM reaches the breakfast area first, earning himself the right to chow down the seafood soup prepared. LSG continues in second place, with KimC and LSGuen fighting closely for third place. KHD continues to stroll with EJW, pushing him in the wrong direction and heading off for the right one by himself. EJW is amused by this, seeing that his actions serve no purpose since the two of them aren't going to get any breakfast anyway.

EJW: HoDong hyung! Just continue to do this, you aren't going to get any breakfast to eat anyway!

Seung Gi then comes in second, not bad for a person who doesn't even now what he's supposed to compete for or where to go. 1N2D has really trained his survival instincts well! KimC is the third one to make it, and we have our breakfast entitled trio. LSGuen misses it by a bare bit, unfortunately. Our bear father and son continue with their morning exercise.

[The monkey who's eating his breakfast]
[The cold Sa Oh Jung] (not sure what that means)
[And the one who doesn't even know why he ran...?]

MCM: Hyung, come here!
LSGuen: Hey, Seung Gi when did you come?
LSG: 6am in the morning. I came by boat hitch hiking!

LSGuen may have been groaning away, but he's not forgetting about his favourite brother nonetheless.

LSGuen: This is hilarious, Seung Gi yah! What's happening? How did you come so early at dawn?

Well, he somehow did. With the arrival of the bear brothers, the family is now complete. LSGuen proceeds to ask KHD about LSG.

LSGuen: Hyung, did you know Seung Gi's back?

KHD ignores his question and takes the place of MCM and sits down, intending to stuff himself with the leftovers. Its heartwarming how LSGuen goes over to LSG at this point to give him a hug on the shoulders. The guys really do treat LSG like the precious baby of the group! Just look at all the hugs LSG got for making it back to the island, haha. LSGuen tries to sit on LSG's chair only to be pranked and have the seat pulled out from under him by EJW in his typical high school kid fashion. KHD helps himself to the food and EJW voices his dissatisfaction.

EJW: How can he be so thick skinned (brazen) and just help himself to the food? He was last!
KHD: Hey, its ok to eat the leftovers!
EJW: Even if its the leftovers, you can't eat it, because you were last!
LSG: Ah, he has no tears, no tears! Really.

[Just let me eat the leftovers...]

The guys continue to chastises KHD while KHD tries to earn brownie points with his pathetic about to burst into tears look. The guys burst out into laughter and EJW concedes defeat, asking KHD to go ahead and eat.

[If I don't eat and die what should we do...]

Typical KHD fashion indeed. After breakfast, the guys head off to scenic spot for a stroll and to chill out, seated on the rocks.

KimC: Sitting on the rocks, you even found a rock of your size to sit on..

[A rock of just Su Guen's size]
[Work name: Sea man]
[Work name: Sea master]
[Work name: My hyungs are embarrassing...]
[And]
[Skull Mong has made his appearance again!]
[He's really funny without any reason]

KHD lets out a whiff of gas, probably due to eating too much of the leftovers

[The smell of fart...]
[The mortal, HoDong?]

Well, with all that, the guys head to a sandy field to exercise and stretch a little. JiWon and SuGuen decide to warm up with a little footwork, and Su Guen tells EJW that he must not let slip of the person (meaning that he has to follow the person closely]. Sure enough, EJW follows LSGuen closely enough, to the point of leaving the ball behind! Once again, EJW's skill in acting the fool is proven. Mong chooses to go hang out with the residents, and as usual there's food.

MCM: Aren't you going to give me one of those snacks?
Girl: (snatching the box away from another poor kid) Yea, I got it.
MCM: Oh thanks!
Girl: In this case, sing a song for me.

[A snack or a musician's pride...]
[Is evident immediately!]

MCM starts singing Circus immediately, in exchange for a snack, earning screams from the delighted girl. The six guys then line up again to do an opening, where they introduce us to some locals to play a ball game. I'm not sure what this ball game is called, but you get the gist when you watch them play. Basically they are supposed to keep the ball within the boundaries of the court with their head or legs, and any contact with the hands would be considered a point to the opponent. Pretty simple game. Interestingly, there's a young boy amongst the mostly middle aged men line up, but the guys decide its ok for the boy to join in the game. Its then decided that the game will be decided by 15 points, and hence they start the game.

As expected, the guys screw up on the first serve. The rules of the game are explained again, and they continue, this time with KimC up for the serve. The ball gets tossed around, and the 1N2D team loses another point to the locals when LSGuen drives the ball into the net instead of across the net. The squabbling starts.

MCM: Hey, don't come over to MY position!
EJW: But I went over to MY position!

Ah, those kids. KHD steps in to shut them up a little and KimC cuts in with a remark to pacify them.

KimC: Its always not the fault of you guys ok!

With that, KimC starts the game again, but this time, EJW's apparent lack of athletic skills kicks in. He swings his leg, only to miss the ball - BY A LOT! The ball went UNDER his legs instead of coming into contact with it. One by one the embarrassing mistakes start to surface. The locals serve, and LSGuen fails to catch it, citing the basketball hoop which was apparently in the way, that he would bang into the hoop if he tried to get the ball. The locals just look on in amusement at the guy's many excuses. KHD calls for time and instructs MCM to attack while EJW tosses the ball, together with a warning,

KHD: If you boys can't do it right this time, we're going to pull you out! Its your last time, understand? Mong ah, its your last try, understand?

With that, the game restarts. Score now is 2:6, in favour of the locals. LSGuen then yells at the youngest boy on the opposing team to to serve well to intimidate him. It doesn't work of course, and the team loses yet another point. MCM gets riled up and challenges the poor boy.

MCM: Hey you, come over here and try catching this... Catch IT!

[He really catches it...]

At any rate, the boy serves again, and MCM catches it beautifully with a header. Unfortunately that was followed up by a kick from EJW. As usual, his feet didn't even make contact with the ball at all, and that's another point lost. LSG and KHD ended up taking over, with an aggrieved trying to argue his case. KHD himself hams it up with mistakes, his header sending the ball to hit the basketball hoop, losing yet another point. He gets a little pissed off at the young boy.

KHD: Hey, are you going to keep sending your passes to the sides of the basketball hoop? Do you want to get it (from me)?

They threaten the boy again, but in the end KHD loses another point when he kicks the ball out of the court, not once but twice. However, he regains his footing a while later, scoring two points in a row. Score is now 4:11, still in favour of the locals. The game continues and they lose another point to the locals because KimC shouted and signaled the ball as his, but failed to get it over the net. KimC decides that this can't go on for long and takes KHD to the side for some scheming. KHD calls for time.

KHD: Can the students play in the game here?

They call the boy over.

LSGuen: Village chief, you should join in the game!

They protest that the boy is a student and too young, thus the game is unfair, and that the village chief should join in instead. Their plot works, and the poor boy gets pulled out of the game for no real reason.

LSGuen: Hey rascal, go home quick!
KHD: Go home and do your homework!

With the athletic young boy out of the way, the team gains their point against the locals with the village chief's entrance. The captions says it all.

[He's a huh-dang, starting from the serve!]

The team continues to breeze through the game, earning points by attacking the local team's new weakness, the chief. In no time, the guys have caught up and lag behind by a point, with the locals at game point. However, KHD ruins their chances by shouting mine, confusing LSG but ending up not intercepting the ball! The locals are delighted of course. KHD goes up to the chief to ask him about what he thinks of the 1N2D team's skills in the game. The chief replies honestly that they have no skill at all, earning him an immediate protest from EJW, saying that he shouldn't say such things. The 1N2D then congratulate the locals on their win, and we end the episode with some comments to out a smile on everyone's face.

[The reason They've perspired together for barely 30 minutes
[These guys are friendly now]
[On the other hand, towards their youngest brother who's been traveling on the vacations with them for a year]
[They are also the guys who schemed and left him behind...]
[And took him on a ride...!]
[Left behind for a night...]
[But without any accident]
[He believed he would return in one piece]
[Without any words...]
[His hyungs who simply give him a warm hug...]
[They are undoubtedly the hyungs who didn't even know he had arrived but...!]
[For them, there's no one who can take your place]
[You know that too...]
[Compared to the words You've hard a hard time]
[I was worried about you]
[Just that smile in an instant...]
[And the warm hug that he gives...]

My thoughts:

This was yet another great episode for me. Everything came together very well, and there were plenty of funny moments, with the LSG abandonment case working really well to create lots of surprises and laughs. I'm really glad to see all the members grow for the better, and even happier to see their concern for each other. It was nice that they immediately showed concern for LSG when they saw him, which just goes to show that they haven't forgotten that they've left him behind on Nok-do. Honestly speaking, in the very early pioneer episodes of 1N2D, I was quite disturbed by the fact that some members seemed to be quieter, overshadowed by the others, and their significantly diminished airtime was proof of it. This episode, for me, showed exactly how far all the members have come from those days. Everyone's character was unique, and they meshed together really well, no one overshadowing the other. Even the normally calm KimC produced many side splitting moments here. There's a certain sincerity, a special bond about this program that I haven't been able to find elsewhere in other programs. The way the guys play, how they interact with the locals, their bond with the crew and staff, their zest for making things fun... all draws me back to the show again and again. I guess its just the heart of the show :)

At any rate, I'm dedicating my translations this week to deemei and B unnie. Thanks to deemei for her generosity and kindness, and B unnie for her unending support when it comes to 1N2D. Sometimes its hard to get started on the summary especially since the episodes tend to be so long and I'm a perfectionist when it comes to 1N2D, but seeing B unnie's work on the blog and her zest in subbing as well as uploading onto the streaming websites, I find motivation to continue with what I'm doing. In watching the show, I've come to find my own sense of belonging to the wonderful subbing team. Fighting!~ And of course to the dear people who are hooked on the show, you are the thing that keeps everyone's efforts here alive! <3

For those who are interested in the Go-Stop game that the guys played, here's a couple of websites that you can visit to find out more about the rules and how to play the game. I'm pretty confused myself, but it seems simple enough when you read it a few times. ijjimax can be installed and played on facebook too, if anyone is itching to try playing go stop.

원래는 남자를 좋아하면서 여자를 좋아하는척 했다
내가그를 도와주었던것 갔다..
진짜 바보같아..

도대채 나한테 몇번을 거짓말을 했다고?
너무 하다..

제일친한 친구?

Stumbled onto the song while reading some korean scripts online. The only reason I clicked on it was because I saw 환희 (yes, the FTTS connection just doesn't die). I loved the lyrics for this one, so much that I'm considering watching the drama. The guy has got an amazing set of pipes, there seems to be a palpable emotional intensity that inherently resides in his interpretation of songs. I'm slowly warming to his vocals, which can be rather overpowering for me sometimes with the emotional richness. Do give it a shot.

난 웃어도 눈물이 나
Even when I'm smiling, my tears fall
내 사랑이 혹시 그대 맘에 해가 될까
Do you know in your heart, the love that I have for you
난 아파도 웃음을 머금죠
Even when I'm hurting, I keep smiling
이렇게 내 앞에 그대가 있어
Because you are here beside me like this
매일 눈 뜰 때마다 생각해요
Everyday when I open my eyes I think of you
매일 숨 쉴 때마다 불러 봐요
Everyday with every breath I take I call for you
가여운 내 사람
My poor love
왜 그댄 날 사랑 했나요
Why did you love me back then?
수척해진 마음엔 한숨 뿐인 하루엔
It was only a day with just a breath of air for my worn heart
그대 쉴 곳 하나 없는데
There isn't a place to rest

미안해요 줄건 눈물 뿐인데
I'm sorry for the tears that I have caused you
상처만 남은 가슴 뿐인데
The heart that is left only with scars
그댈 바라봐도 될까요
Can I still look at you?
안아 봐도 될까요
Can I still embrace you?
그대 웃음이 멈추면 어쩌죠
What should I do if your smile disappears?

매일 걸을 때 마다 떠올라요
Everyday when I'm walking you appear in my mind
매일 잠들 때 마다 보고파요
Everyday in my sleep I want to see you
그리운 내 사람
And my love
왜 그댄 날 사랑 했나요
Why did you love me back then
말라버린 마음엔 추억 뿐인 하루엔
It was merely a day of memories for my dry heart
그대 쉴 곳 하나 없는데
There isn't a place to rest

미안해요 줄건 눈물 뿐인데
I'm sorry for the tears that I've caused you
상처만 남은 가슴 뿐인데
The heart that's left only with scars
그댈 바라봐도 될까요
Can I still look at you?
안아 봐도 될까요
Can I still embrace you?
그대 웃음이 멈추면 어쩌죠
What should I do if your smile disappears?

날이 갈수록 외로워져도
Even if I get lonely as time and the days pass by
멀어질수록 그리워져도
Even if we drift apart with time
그대 없이 아무것도 할 수 없어도
Even if I can't do anything at all without you
그댈 원해선 안돼 그래선 안돼
I can't desire for you, I can't hope for you
나를 위해서도 안돼
Not even if it is for myself

사랑해요 끝까지 기억해요
I love you, please remember this right to the end
지킬 사랑한다 이 말은
The words I'll protect and love you
내 모든 걸 다 걸었어요
I'll put everything I have up for it
후회하진 않아요
I don't regret it
눈을 감아도
Even as I close my eyes
사랑해요 너무나 사랑해요
I love you, I really love you
상처만 남은 가슴 뿐인데
The heart that's left only with scars
그댈 바라봐도 될까요
Can I still look at you?
안아봐도 될까요
Can I still embrace you?
기다렸어요 그대란 내 사람
I will wait for you, You my person.
이젠 놓치지 마요
Don't let go now
다음 세상에도 우리
Even in the next world, we will be together

*I've taken the liberty of changing the order of the translated lyrics in some lines so that they make more grammatical sense. Also, wherever the phrase 'my person' appears, I've replaced it with my love. My person just doesn't sound right in english, it doesn't have that ring to it that it does in korean.

The man is back with a new single. First loves die hard don't they? I have since moved on to other crooners on the scene, but something still pulls me back each time the man comes up with something new. The new ballad is a surprisingly good attempt, technique aside (we all know the k-pop scene has its fair share of talented balladeers with great technique and vocals, so let's just not compare for once). Magic feet DOES carry off a tune when the dancing stops.

Have a listen. Love story by 비. Credit Safari100001

Lyrics

Hey
this is my story
is job
Ok listen
Oh baby 너에게 하고 싶었던 그 말
나의 맘 속 안에서 나를 슬프게한 그 말
우리 사랑했지만 갈 수 없었던 그 이율
바보같이 아무말도 전할수 없었네
한번만 더 기회를 줘
나는 몰랐었어
너의 마음이 변한건지
아직 늦진 않았잖아
빌었지만 차갑게 돌아선 니 모습
이노래는 진실했던 사랑이야기
모든걸 다 바쳤던 나의 이야기
하지만 이젠 끝을 모두 맺어버린
지나간 나의 사랑이야
I love you 아직도 사랑해(이순간에)
솔직한 나의 맘 소리
모든걸 다 바칠 수있는 다짐을
말하고 있는거야
내게 돌아와줘 영원히 기다릴께 널
I love you 아직도 사랑해
Oh 사랑했잖아 너는 잊을수 있니
추억속의 사랑
너는 나를 떠났지만
나와 했던 약속은 아무것도 아닌건지
너는 웃으면서 나의 얘길하더라
죽을것 같이 난 아파 oh no
단지 단 한번만 너와 함께 할수만 있다면
난 숨을 쉴수가 없어
나의 모든것들이 너를 원하잖아
이노래는 진실했던 사랑이야기
모든걸 다 바쳤던 나의 이야기
하지만 이젠 끝을 모두 맺어버린
지나간 나의 사랑이야
I love you 아직도 사랑해 (순간에)
솔직한 나의 맘 소리
모든걸 다 바칠 수 있는 다짐을
말하고 있는거야
내게 돌아와줘 영원히 기다릴께 널
I love you 아직도 사랑해
나도 잊는다 주먹 쥐며
내맘이 곪아서 더이상은 못하겠어
아프겠지만 끊어버릴꺼야
너와의 가슴 속 모든 인연들을
한가지만 기억해
너의 모든걸 다 안아 줄 수 있었던
남자 나였단걸
이젠 너 없이도 뭐든 해낼꺼고
지금 이노래를 들어
이노래는 널 향한 사랑이야기
모든걸 다 바쳤던 나의 순정이
후회되진않아
나 널 이젠 잊을꺼야
지나간 나의 사랑아
I love you 아직도 사랑해(이순간에)
마지막 널 향한 목소리
모든걸 다 알고있는 나의 외침이
들린다면 내곁에 다시 돌아와줘
영원히 너를 사랑해
I love you 너만을 사랑해
baby please come back to me
miss you baby

**Please do not take out**

Last week: 1N2D goes to Busan!
We see some cuts of what they did for last week, and we're brought back to the baseball match where the guys are about to experience some new stuff. First we hear the guy in the Lotte uniform announce something.

Announcer: The first mission, sexy dance!

The camera closes up on a woman in the stands, and she's supposedly required to complete the mission. Meanwhile Seung Gi looks on in interest. Its all part of the tradition, and Seung Gi is picked for the next task, which is to do a dance. He gamely gets down to the task and does that Huh-dang bounce and that gull dance of his. It doesn't look too bad, but Seung Gi buries his head in the newspaper pompom in embarrassment.

Announcer: Next mission! Sea gull dance!

We them have a bunch of guys on the screen doing the hilarious dance. Someone then passes out boxes of pizza to LSG, and they happily munch on it.

MCM: Pass it over here, pass it over!

As usual, the guys HAVE to fight over food, even when its just pizza. KimC and KHD start tugging at the box of pizza, and while the guys are busy squabbling over the pizza, the crowd behind them chants 아주라. Which basically is another one of the lovely quirks the Busan crowd has while watching baseball, they're asking the guys to give up the pizza to the kids. Such a sweet gesture! Now the problem is resolved as they hand the pizza out to the kids. Next up, the crowd starts chanting 봉다리, which puzzles the guys. Anyway someone was kind enough to explain to the guys that they were supposed to wear the plastic bag thing that was being passed out on their heads. Its all to add to the fun of watching the game. We have KHD, KimC, LSG being role models and wearing their bags nicely blown and sitting on top of their heads, and we of course need to have MCM and EJW demonstrating the wrong way of wearing it. LOL. These guys are too cute for words. Anyway, the guys are all anxious about the outcome of the baseball match. The PDs remind us why they are so anxious with a quick flash to a boat on the river, because the outcome is going to determine who goes fishing (and fishing here is an UNDERSTATEMENT) at the crack of dawn the next day. The expression on their faces was priceless when the Lotte guy scored a run soon after. EJW and LSGuen looked so crestfallen, like they couldn't believe what was happening in front of their eyes.

I think the editors were really careful with the handling of this scene, because we are brought into the conversation between the PD and another staff member at the baseball match, where he tells the PD during the 8th inning that the 1N2D team should leave early, in consideration of the safety of the fans as well as the 1N2D members. They lines onscreen showed that Lotte was leading at that point of time, but Doosan caught up during the 9th and 10th inning to turn the tables around, 6:5. (Sorry if i used the wrong technical terms here, I'm not a baseball fan, I'm more of a soccer kinda girl. My apologies!) They very quickly glossed over the outcome of the match with a few lines onscreen, no fanfare or footage of the guys expressions at the outcome. Everything happened really fast here, and you get the sense that things seemed a little rushed, a tad too obvious that the editors were eager to skim over the issue. But I guess that's just a small tradeoff that we have to live with since we all don't want to fan the whole incident further. Back to the guys at their nightly meeting, and they start by first applauding the winners.
[Quick refresher, Doosan team= LSGuen, MCM, EJW, Lotte team= KHD, KimC, LSG]

KHD mentions that they had earlier made a promise to do away with Bok Bul Bok this time and all of them would sleep outdoors.

EJW: But why are you only mentioning this? There's more to that.

Yes, there's more to sleeping outdoors. Now they have to settle on which team to go catch eels and which team to go help out at the seafood market.

KimC: The Doosan team should have the priority to choose before us.
KHD: Yes, but even though they have the right to choose before us, here we should do this.
EJW's caps [What is he up to again?!...]

KHD then goes on about how they should change the team that goes on the boat since the viewers would not want to see the same faces on the boat again, thus they should consider switching teams, or something along those lines in his usual warped logic. I think he mentions how MCM hasn't been on the fishing expeditions even once, and MCM agrees, saying that it would be absolutely uninteresting for him to go on the boat and it would be more interesting if he stays on dry land. LOL, KHD sees that his tactic is not working, and kneels down to start over again. Immediately EJW reacts in the same way, going on his knees.

EJW: Ah! What are you doing again?!
KHD: If our MCM refuses (to go on the boat), then our LSG will have no choice (but to go on the boat). MCM hasn't been on (the fishing expeditions) even once before.
Caps for MCM[I'm not taking the boat even if i die] Caps[KHD keeps applying pressure on MCM]
KHD: At the same time, our nation's best able man, the laborious entertainer, LSGuen hasn't seen the boat even once before too. The most important thing is (clasps his hands together) I will go too.
Caps for LSGuen, EJW [Weren't you supposed to go in the first place??]
KHD: In this case, I will take the boat too.
EJW: You were supposed to take it in the first place!
KHD: We have our little brother on this team that we should spare a thought for. Our little brother LSG...
LSG: I'll go even if i throw up blood!
MCM: Even if he's a weak little brother, the little brother we love.. (KimC cuts in, coughing)
KimC: I'll be back, gonna go get some flu medicine first!
KHD: Look, teacher KimC has a flu now you know.

LSG and MCM start coughing to get out of going on the boat too. LOL.

LSGuen: Just look at these people, they're really going all out to the point of falling sick. (This is kinda a rough translation of what he said. He's trying to say the two are gong to the extent of falling sick to get out of the boat trip)

KHD then keeps going on about how he's going on the boat trip (he's trying to make himself sound self sacrificial, but the funny thing here is that he was originally supposed to go anyway!) LSG and MCM starts bickering, with LSG asking what's to be done about KimC (since he was sick). KHD asks EJW if he wants to make any changes and EJW replies that he was given the right to choose (and his answer is obvious, stay on dry land). The PD cuts in here, to which KHD says he'll go because KimC is sick, and then he goes on to worry about LSG too, who was extremely seasick the last time they went on the fishing mission. Aww. So sweet of KHD! After this, LSG basically starts over-reacting at the thought of going on the boat.

LSG: Ah, even if i throw up till I collapse, I'll still go!

This line earns a stupefied silence from EJW and LSGuen, explaining the large ... that flashed on the screen. KimC tries to defend him and while everyone is trying to get their opinions in, LSG flares up for a moment in his typical Ook fashion :D

LSG: It's ok. Ah, IF I DON'T GO WHAT WILL HAPPEN? I have to! (he means how can he not go)
EJW: Hey, IF I DON'T GO WHAT WILL HAPPEN? why are you like this? Why must you go?

Someone in the group says its ok. The two kids are on the verge of quarreling in earnest.

LSG: No, its not that I won't go! If I don't go you will object..
EJW: Then why are you being like this?
KHD: Hey we are in the middle of filming, don't be so serious, you!

EJW says he's like this because of the way LSG is behaving. At this moment, LSGuen steps in to save the day.

LSGuen: I think I have to go (on the boat trip). I've been thinking seriously about it...
EJW: You've been thinking about it now?
LSGuen: Thinking about it, our show airs for around 70 mins, and I only appear 8 minutes out of the 70!

HAHAHA! I love LSGuen and his moments sometimes. He stepped in at the right time to save the guys further trouble, and cleanly sidestepped the awkwardness with his brilliant reason. He says he wants the camera to film him more when they are catching the eels, and that's the end of the first part of the problem, since KimC wouldn't have to go with LSGuen taking his place. Another LOL moment when LSGuen gives another reason "Look at KimC hyung. Just plain looking at him makes you feel he's pitiful!" Now it all boils down to MCM and LSG, and LSG looks mighty uncomfortable at the thought of taking the boat, and coughs furiously like he's about to throw up. I know how it feels to be seasick, so I really empathize with him (but this doesn't mean I don't feel he's a little sneaky here, haha!)

LSG: AHHHH. I'm going. Mong hyung, I'll go.
MCM: Of course.
LSG: Mong hyung can't go even in such circumstances, he won't go even if he dies! So what can we do?

MCM covers his ears and pretends he can't hear what KHD and the others are saying. The guys are worried for LSG, and KHD says because MCM won't go, LSG has to go, and the conversation gets chaotic as LSG keeps saying "Mong hyung won't go!" while KimC is trying to get MCM to go listing stuff to make MCM feel guilty. While LSG is trying to pacify KimC, MCM quietly creeps up behind LSG and gives him a big kick.

MCM: YAH! I'LL GO!! I'm going! I'll go!

YYes! Their antagonistic tactic works and MCM loses his cool. So its settled that KimC, EJW and LSG go the the market, while the rest go on the fishing trip. The guys then get down to resting. They don't get to rest too much before Sang Guen is brought out to wake them up. I guess they decided not to show all the details this week, I'm sure waking up at such an ungodly hour isn't going to be too pretty. Fast forward and we have the boys going to the wet market on the bus.

EJW: Oh, I really didn't even sleep a wink!
LSG: Hyung, if you didn't even sleep a wink, then really, what about us...!
KimC: Are you in your right mind, why are you like that?
EJW: Huh what?
LSG&KimC: YOUR SNORING!
LSG: Your snoring is really something! Ah, I was really tired, so tired but (mimics EJW's snoring) *grrrek ccrrrrr grrrrrek crrrrr*
KimC: That's exactly how it sounds like!
LSG: Really, hyung!

We are taken back to the fitful night of sleep EJW claims to have had, but in fact was what KimC and LSG went through. EJW was snoring like it was the end of the world, leaving LSG, who was sleeping beside him helpless.

Caps
[In the end Seung Gi is woken up from his sleep]
[What do I do...]
[Agony...] LSG whistles here, for some reason. I'm guessing he was hoping for EJW to be woken up so that the snoring would stop
[Whistling?]
[But its of no use]
LSG: Jiwon hyung!
[In the end he covers his ears and turns away from him]

EJW: I really didn't sleep a wink! Ah my body. I was really tired too, and wanted to fall asleep fast...
LSG: But you fell asleep...
EJW: No I didn't..
LSG: If you watch the tapes (the camera) again, Hyung you fell asleep within 10 minutes!
EJW: No, no, no..
*flashback to the night again. [The start of bedtime is simultaneously the start of deep sleep]

KimC and LSG's expression were priceless here when EJW denied falling asleep. Snoring may seem like a little thing, but its hard to get used to these things if you are a light sleeper. It makes things worse that the snorer doesn't know he's snoring since you don't exactly hear yourself when you sleep. I really liked this small episode here, it was undoubtedly funny, but for me it also showed how the guys are tolerant and considerate towards each other with the small things. They could have lost their temper or woke EJW up, but they spoke to him so nicely. Aww.

KHD's team is headed to the seas to catch eels in the meantime. Its obvious that all the guys have had a rough night, all of them exhausted, the lines of lack of sleep etched onto their faces. Poor SuGuen got it really bad though.

LSGuen: Ah, those mozzies seem to be doing a great job defending their territory. They even sting people's eyes!

This cracks up the tired KHD. While LSGuen tries to get some cool relief rolling a bottle of water on his bitten eye, MCM drags himself onto the bus with a huge sigh, and the bus moves off. KHD asks the PD about their destination, and the PD replies that they are going to meet the captain first. KHD then talks about how when doing 1N2D, they are always tired and complain that its really tough, and that the schedule really is pushing them to their limits. It struck me particularly when he said "When I was sleeping yesterday, I thought if I fell asleep, I would forever never be able to open my eyes again. I really felt uneasy. But then we got woken up again.." This is exactly the reason why sometimes I feel conflict. I love the show, but it obviously taxes the 6 guys physically and mentally. They'd have to take a break at some point of time, but I would miss them so. The caps onscreen very neatly then summarised their situation [The schedule that is a real test for them...], after which we get a preview of how they are all going to suffer and get seasick later on.

Meanwhile the other 3 have arrived at the wet market.

LSG: What time is it now? PD? 5:35am?

That's really early! Their first task is to transport ice around the wet market for the hawkers, and they get down to it enthusiastically.

LSG: Wow, this is really no joke!
Man: Each bag is 30kg.

The women in the market are naturally thrilled to see LSG lugging the bags of ice they need for them early in the morning.

Woman 1: Aigoo... He was on television this morning and now he's here!
Woman 2 (as he is about go off with the wheels): Aigoo, you're so pretty*!
LSG: Haha, thanks, I'll be back!
Random woman: Come by all morning! (like, so that they can see him more :D)

*note: in korean, pretty is used to describe guys too. It doesn't have the feminine connotation the english equivalent will have in this case, it just means good-looking/nice/handsome in general.

For EJW, while he wheeling the ice through the market, he's screaming and making sure everyone know the ice has arrived at the same time. LOL.

EJW: THE ICE IS HERE! Whew, running (this service) is so tough! (he drags a bag of ice out, plops it on the floor and hold out his hands) Money!

The store owner is taken aback by EJW for a moment, while the arrow onscreen directs our attention to another lady who's laughing her guts out at EJW's antics.

Lady: You can come back and get your money later when you have finished everything later!

LOL!! Some other ladies at the side comment "Aigoo, he's having a hard time!~" How can he have a harder time than these women who work so early at the market everyday for all their lives? EJW goes "Please buy loads of ice!" and the women reply "Please send us loads of ice!" HAHA. Too cute! KimC is working hard outside, shoveling ice into the bags that LSG and EJW have to wheel around to the store holders, and we get a contrast of how different things are for him as opposed to LSG who is the object of adoration for the women in the market.

LSG: Ah, thank you, fighting!
Woman: Aigoo, our Seung Gi is so pretty*!
LSG: Ah, thank you!

Before he knows it, they are stuffing food into his mouth. I find it hilarious how people associate the 1N2D guys with food. Everywhere they go, the automatic response people get is to feed them. LSG tries to/ tell them that he's not supposed to eat, but the women don't care anyway, and open a drink for him. LSG asks if he can really have the drink and they reassure him he can, to which he gulps it down.

Woman: Ah, do you have any idea how much the moms like you? (:D)
LSG: Thank you!
Woman: Lee Seung Gi fighting!

LSG goes back to where KimC is working feeling guilty, so he decides to confess first.

LSG: Hyung, I had no choice but to eat 2 pieces of rice cake before coming back. I had no choice.
KimC: What did you eat?
LSG: Rice cake!
KimC: Why did they offer it to you but not me?

KimC is so cool sometimes. KHD would have made a big fuss, but KimC just glossed over it calmly and continued to work.

EJW then meets a lady selling shellfishes, and as he is marveling over the spread, the lady kindly offers him one.

Lady: Want to have a clam? Do you want it?

EJW gave a sigh of frustration and was about to walk away when the lady said he could eat it as a meal or something, it was ok, and EJW was all excited at the prospect and went "Oh really?" The VJ by his side was shocked, I think at the thought of eating shellfishes so early in the morning (I mean you don't exactly eat oysters and clams for breakfast do you?) but EJW got all indignant, gesturing that the lady had offered it to him, it wasn't like it was his idea. HAHA. Anyway the lady shells out the meat for EJW while telling him "Eat this, I hope the 1N2D team will gain strength and do well" EJW is a picture of delight when he chomps on it, going "Oh! Its delicious!" Of course its delicious, its probably fresh out of the waters! EJW goes back to brag to LSG.

EJW: Hey, the lady gave me an oyster to eat!
*I'm not sure what kind of shellfish it is, so I'm just naming it oyster, it maybe an oyster, clam, or other kinds of shellfish, you guys can see it for yourself onscreen :)
KimC: HEY!! Why didn't they offer it to me?
Caps [Working outside, he's got nothing to eat] [KimC's sad (back) reflection]

KHD and team arrive at the pier, where people are already hard at work preparing the bait that's needed. There's a lady rhythmically chopping up the meat that's used for the bait, and LSGuen dances along with the rhythm going "Oh~ Eel!~" The guys chip in to help, KHD fixing the bait onto the hooks, while MCM and LSGuen carry the completed bucks onto the boat. More notable are two of the captions here [There's no wind at the pier] [Everything looks like the perfect situation!] Tides change and at no notice at all, as we will see later. Well, the guys get onto the boat happily thinking all is well, and they set off not knowing that a tough ride is in for them. Seriously, 1N2D has the worst luck when it comes to weather and boat trips. KHD holds onto a pole on the boat while exclaiming "WOW", while his caps go [Afraid of getting seasick from the start] and on the other side we see MCM prancing around, with his caps [but the wold monkey has no fear...] [Seasickness doesn't exist in my vocabulary!]

LSGuen: Ah! There are waves already!

KHD is at the side and he looks green in the face already. MCM the wild monkey is up to his usual antics, saying that they should follow the rhythm (of the waves? haha). KHD tries to let us know the current situation on the sea, and he concludes "Its the worst sea condition on the history of 1N2D, the worst!" MCM is the only one who is optimistic here, dancing his circus dance with the turbulent waves as his makeshift backdrop and pretending to survey the seas like those cartoon captains, while KHD and LSGuen look on in amazement [He's not normal...] [He's crazy...]

Back at the market, the guys are having a blast. EJW wheels the ice for yet another lady, who promptly whips out an apple to give to the little elementary kid. EJW declines her offer, saying that he has had something else given to him (which we will find out in due course what it is). KimC is still laboriously shoveling the ice into the sacks when a lady (wow, there sure are many ladies in this episode) comes up to him.

Lady: Please give me 3,000 won worth of ice!
KimC: 3,000 won worth of ice?
Lady: Yea! Please get Seung Gi to send it over!
KimC: Yes... Seung Gi...

HAHAHAHAHA! Poor KimC!! He's a great guy, and sometimes its really quite sad to see him getting less affection from the citizens because of the younger ones in the team. Other times its just plain hilarious. Oh my. I really love this team! Seung Gi brings the ice over to another stall holder and you can really see how popular he is.

Lady 1: Ah! Well done.. you really came out well (you were brought up well)
Lady 2: (intercepts LSG with a pen) Our daughter really really likes you!
Lady 3: I really don't know how much our daughter likes you!
LSG: Ah really?
Lady 3: Yes!! Oh two please (i think she's asking him to sign twice)

Back to EJW, where he's received yet another can of drink. The caps had me snorting in laughter [The young sons look like they're in heaven at the wet market] LOL!!

EJW: Yah! Eel (team)! *laughs madly* I love it here at the market! Wow! What should we do? What about the eel (team)?

EJW can be such an elementary kid, but that's really where his charm lies! Back on the boat, the poor team that has to catch eels are almost all wiped out. LSGuen is lying down because he's seasick, MCM is lying down because his [battery died!] (No kidding, that's what the caps on screen said. I was giggling so madly when i saw this) KHD is also suffering form seasickness, and the three guys are sprawled out all over the boat in their various states of distress. Meanwhile in the market, the old man is talking to EJW, telling him even though they've worked hard and well to finish their job, there's another more pressing and urgent job for them to complete. The guys are a little taken aback at the sudden request, but at the man's urging, they quickly bid the ice man farewell and move on to their next job, where they have to climb up the lorry and start bringing the fresh fishes out of their tanks. Its funny when an old couple walks by and the woman goes "Lee Seung Gi! Lee Seung Gi is there!" while the man goes "What?"

EJW: Hey Seung Gi! Why are you stabbing at me with a spear when we are here too? (he refers to the incident where they were helping the guy put up the netting at dawn) The person behind you, the person behind you! Why are you so carelessly brandishing the spear?

The locals have a field day taking pictures of the guys working on the lorry.

Guy: I'm taking this so that my kids can see it!

Its sweet when this lady recognises KimC.

Lady: Its Kim C... Kim C looks better than I imagined!
LSG: I really want to help out more, but because we are not up to mark (at the job), it seems like the fishes are all dying!
KimC: The pros did it all! The pros!

The old man then thank the guys for their work, and even praises them "You guys worked better than you appear to on TV!" He goes on to tell the guys that it would be Busan's Sea Festival from October 8 to October 12, where they would be able to get cheap and delicious seafood and Huh-Dang appears again.

LSG: In that case then we can eat as much as we like? Then we'll be able to pick up the hickory (a kind of fish) and eat them just like popcorn?
Caps [Eating hickory to your heart's content / Seung Gi's style of expression!]

OMG. Too funny, this was really too funny. However, things weren't as comical on the boat for KHD's team though.

KHD: Have we reached the deep end of the ocean?

Yes they have, after 1 hour and 30 minutes of traveling on the rough waters. LSGuen asks them how long would it take for them to get a bite after they lower the hooks, and the fisherman replies right away. As they are lowering the baits, KHD asks if there's anything they could help out, and the sea replies them with more turbulence. The PD asks LSGuen if the waves are harsh for him, and he says its really no joke to be caught in the midst of the frantic waves. Its so back that the entire boat is rocking as they speak, even the camera can't seem to keep still! KHD makes the remark that its the worst sea condition that they have experienced on 1N2D history, even worse then that they met with at Dokdo, which is saying a lot about the sea turbulence. In spite of that, they try to get some work done, but the waves are so strong that the boat continues to rock violently, throwing KHD to the other end of the boat where LSGuen is.

LSGuen: Why are you rolling towards me! (to MCM) No, you can't carry with with only one hand! Never! You're ruining it all! YOU ARE RUINING IT ALL!

MCM looks really guilty for spoiling the baits. In the end the hooks couldn't be used for the day, and he looked really down. Poor MCM. It wasn't really his fault since he didn't really know how to handle those things anyway. In the end, LSGuen carried all the hooks with the baits over to the captain himself, while MCM stood by the sidelines, unable to work because of his fear that he'd do something wrong again. The waves have no intention of letting up, and the guys are more seasick than ever. One of the workers on the boat report their situation back to land via the communication system.

Worker: Ah, he's asking if KHD is seasick.
KHD: Boss, KHD is so seasick now he could die!
Worker: If you take a bath in seawater, then you won't get seasick anymore.
KHD: Huh? So I should jump into the water? Wow.. I'm dying.

Both KHD and LSGuen are seasick, while MCM is the only one doing work all by himself on the other end of the boat. Poor MCM, i think he really felt bad about ruining the hooks and wanted to make up for it. He was the only one who was fortunate enough not to be seasick. KHD starts gagging on the boat because he feels really nauseous, and starts recounting how compared to all the other rides he has had, this is really the worst and he's really in bad shape now. He tells us how he really wants to help the workers, but he's been completely tamed by the Busan sea waters. Because of his seasickness, he gives in to the wrath of the sea. KHD's face is really a sick shade of green by now, and I really sympathize with him. The PD asks if MCM is ok, and he's like "What, I don't feel anything at all!" and goes on about how the camera is filming KHD and he's complaining about his seasickness and all, while MCM doesn't even feel a thing at all. Caps are funny here, with KHD looking sick to the stomach and the caps going [He's not even human...] KHD goes in to rest, being K.O (knocked out), as the captions so kindly tell us.

On the other hand, the market team tuck into a seafood spread that looks sizzlingly good!

LSG: But the Eel team on the boat... I've come here but they...
Caps [If you haven't taken the boat, then don't say anything!]
LSG: Ah, really. I feel so sorry and thankful towards Mong hyung, really! Its because I switched with Mong hyung that I was able to come here!
EJW: Then you are a pinch hitter! You are not even qualified to eat here! I may be eating but I'm at least eating my own fair and rightful share. Hyung you too!
KimC: I wonder how SuGuen is doing now..
LSG: Ah, really...

LSG looks like he feels really bad. While EJW greedily tucks into the amazing looking fish, LSG looks on at them, leaving his meal untouched as he just can't overcome his guilt towards MCM.

LSG: The guys on the boat will get to eat some great stuff later won't they? Mong hyung will get to eat too won't he? I'll eat well.. Mong hyung...
KimC: I've thought a lot about those days in Uljin.. SuGuen ah.. you should be doing well now right?

That leaves LSG still unable to even bring his spoon to his mouth. EJW cuts in.

EJW: In that case, Seung Gi and hyung, you should eat this well with an apologetic (remorseful) heart. And because we have received so much (from the locals) today, we should do something in return for them!
LSG: How?
EJW: Since they are all so busy, why don't we make them a cup of coffee to drink?
LSG: Oh... we can do it in Mong hyung's name!
EJW: (asking the PDs) Can we serve the men and women who have worked so hard here a cup of coffee?

Of course they can, seeing that its a good deed. The boys get cracking, boiling water and lots of instant coffee to divide into the many cups they bought. LSG is still as worried for the boat team as ever, standing near the water and musing to himself.

LSG: Ah, its all nice and picturesque here looking at the seagulls, but what about the boat team, the boat team?
Caps as they stare into the water, LSG [Mong hyung!] KimC [SuGuen ah] EJW [Now where did Sang Guen go?]
LSG: This looks like its salty?
EJW: Why salty?
LSG: No, it looks very sweet!

LOL! The boy can't even tell the difference between sweet and salty now. After they are done brewing the coffee, they make their rounds in the market, telling everyone that the coffee is courtesy of MCM and LSGuen. There was a lady who was exclaiming about how they've already worked hard for them in the morning and now they back with another sweet gesture, and KimC tells her its courtesy of MCM and LSGuen, to which she gladly accepts the coffee with her thanks. EJW is still busy making more coffee outdoors, and he tells the old man to try his coffee (Eun's brew, LOL!!). The boss is happy and tells him its delicious :D EJW happily heads off to serve coffee to more people.

EJW: Mom*! Mom*! Hello! Ah, you've worked hard. Please have a cup of coffee!
Another quirk in the korean language here. Yes, people affectionately call women of a certain age Mom too, even when they are not really their moms.
Woman: Oh, we must try the taste of the coffee that our son* has made for us once! You've worked hard!
*same thing. He's not really her son but affectionately calls him that.
EJW: Yes, please be healthy!
Women: You look younger (here) than you do on television! (after EJW walks away) He's Lee Seung Gi! Right?
EJW: (without turning behind) I'm Jiwon, JiWon!

They continue to serve coffee, much to the delight of everyone in the market. LSG is very clearly the most popular amongst the women, with all of them fawning over him, telling him how popular he is amongst the moms. HAHA, its so cute! Everyone is going in for a grope or a touch, on his face, his butt... and LSG looked so shy and lost :D "I really have to admit it... its the best, the best!" Aww. LSG is so cute. The women decide to give them some fresh fishes to express their gratitude, which they dump on the tray EJW is carrying with much relish. EJW is clearly terrified and starts shrieking and jumping away, in the midst of merry laughter from the women.

On the boat though, there is not much laughter. KHD is still K.O by his seasickness, and LSGuen takes over the task of leading the filming. They are clearly excited when the fishes start coming in, with LSGuen yelling in his excitement. He sits down and starts marveling over the different kinds of fishes that have been caught. They are all really HUGE! Meanwhile MCM hides behind. He's apparently afraid of the fishes. LSGuen tries to get him seated to hold the newly caught fishes, only to have MCM getting panic attacks and squirming each time a fish comes near him. He's so panicky that he even backs away when the worker gets up to go somewhere! LOL. To his credit, he does hold some of the smaller fishes they caught, but he's hopeless when it comes to the bigger ones as well as the eels, and even the worker seems a little exasperated at his inane fear. Its such a hilarious contrast, with LSGuen so happy and excited, even kissing one of the larger fishes, while MCM cowers behind him in fear. LSGuen gets annoyed and screams "MCM what are you doing?!", and so MCM decides to try picking up the fish, albeit a little gingerly. Its a big task for him, and the worker decides to end his agony by picking it up and throwing the fish into the bucket for him. By this time, LSGuen looks like he can't hold up any longer against seasickness as well, and MCM is the only one left standing in a while trying to do some work. The team decides to take a break from filming, and the team lies helter skelter all over the boat, LSGuen, the PD, the cameraman, and the writer. KHD is still out cold as usual. MCM is the only one who is fine, and standing on the boat.

MCM: (Video Jockey hyung) go rest! Me? I'm not seasick.

In the end, even the VJ gives up to get some rest and stops filming. All the 1N2D staff onboard are all wiped out apart from MCM. Guy sure has a strong stomach. He says on the deck alone, with one of the other workers. The staff members see him from the other boat they are filming on, and PD Yoo (the youngest PD) and another VJ wonder about what kind of work he's doing alone without the others. Even though we can't see what he's doing clearly because they are filming him form a distance, its clear that he's the last man standing to protect the deck. LOL. The VJ finally manages to pull himself together and continue filming, and we find out that MCM has been working on rearranging the hooks and bait all this time while everyone was out cold. The VJ turns behind and his camera captures all that MCM has done, the buckets and buckets of bait, all done alone. I was so touched by this scene, I couldn't say anything when i saw all that he'd done quietly to make up for his earlier mistake, as well as as in place of the team who were all suffering from seasickness. MCM. Truly a great guy. He goes over to check on KHD, who is still in no condition to talk. Because the condition is so bad, the team has no choice but to jump over to the other boat and head back to shore after 7 grueling hours on board, while the workers go on with their fishing. MCM teases KHD, asking him "Oh so you've finally woken up? Did you have a good sleep?" KHD then went on to tell how it seemed that he had been out for so long, only to wake up to the team telling him it was time to leave. The PD then praised MCM.

PD: But I really saw MC Mong in a new light today. Besides the fact that he wasn't seasick, when I was resting because of seasickness in the middle of filming just now, I saw this out of the corner of my eye. The VJ (cameraman) was also resting and he wasn't even filming (the camera was off), but our friend here still continued to work alone... Honestly, something inside me was touched.

MCM of course has to get into his dramatic act again, kissing LSGuen and KHD and launching into a speech about how he will watch over and protect the members of 1N2D, how he'll always be watching over 1N2D :D That spells the end of the nightmare for the guys, as they finally land, with the other guys waiting eagerly for them. LSG keeps yelling excitedly for his dear MCM, asking him if he's ok, and the guys all laugh when they see KHD green and sick to the stomach. KHD starts telling them all about the insane waves of Busan, and how its really the worst he's seen in all his years of filming. He then starts apologizing and kneeling down, to which the guys at the side all giggle. LSG makes the remark that his clothes look as good as new, and the other guys say its so clean that he could even reuse it again. KimC makes the observation that even their clothes were stained form working at the market, but KHD's clothes look almost spotless. We all know why, don't we? With this, KHD urges everyone to visit Busan, and the episode ends, with some flashbacks to the past.

*on the bus ride to Baekdusan*
"1N2D should really go to Busan someday"
"Let's go to Busan the next time"
"Let's go Busan and have a meal for once!"

[And so we start our Busan trip]
EJW: Haven't you thought of taking that off?
LSG: Just look at my forehead and you'll know!
LSGuen: Why are you doing this? Is it some symbol of wealth?
EJW&LSGuen: Yes! Now you look dashing!
LSGuen: Yes! You look handsome this way! (as LSG adjusts his headband) Stop!
[And so thats the start of our memories]
[At Hyundae we met the students who were out for a spin]
[MC Mong and the delighted foreingers]
[The locals we met at the subway]
[And the cute kindergarten kids we met at the beach]
[The young girl we et at the house]
[We will remember the sights we saw]
[The people of Busan]
[The beautiful sights]
[Everything that we wish to introduce to you, the features of Busan]
[And the people who are there]
[Till next week!].

All right, That's the end! This was really a special episode for me. I loved how the guys went around doing the good deed in LSGuen and MCM's name, I adored how MCM was the hero of the day on the boat, I loved how the locals embraced the 6 guys with such affection and enthusiasm. This, is the spirit of 1N2D, always giving joy and delight, even though there may be hardships along the way. Be back next episode!

Update, and just in case you guys didn't notice.

Had a request for EJW's adios, thought I'd post the translation. Please DO NOT take out without my permission. I have done the romanized version as well, not going to post them here since I feel romanized lyrics don't do 한글 any justice.

한참을 생각했어
I've thought about it for a long time

이런저런 같잖은 핑계로 너만 바라보던 내게로
Excuses, me who had my eyes set only on you

부터 멀리 떨어지길 바란 걸 알고 있어 그래도 믿고
I knew you wanted me to go far away but even still I believed

네가 어디에서 누구와 뭘 하던지 다 눈 감아 줬는 걸
I didn't care who you were with and what you were doing

너만의 남자로 네 앞에 설 자신이 내겐 있었는 걸
I was confident to stand beside you as your man

Then one day you were held by him, him that is so different from me

미소를 보내던 실체를 보며 깨달았어 너와 나의 끝을
I saw your smile and I knew it was the end for you and me

For those who haven't already noticed, the 1N2D fansubs blog has been launched. Meaning that you guys can go there to get your streaming links, subbed cuts, translations and whatever related to 1N2D there. I will be posting my translations there, but at the same time I will keep posting here too. The decision for the new blog is simple, since it makes sense to gather all the 1N2D related info in one place rather than all over the place as it is now. Thanks to the team on soompi for the great job! Visit the site HERE.

Hopefully this will allow me to regain some space for personal blogging and also blogging about other stuff on the korean entertainment scene :D

All right, off to study for the exams! Have a great week!

Episode 73 (080928)

2008-09-29T10:08:00.000-07:00

I've watched this week's episode. Won't have the time to translate everything, my apologies. Exams are really bogging me down. Just going to do a simple recap and translations of funnier parts. I don't want to fan the whole baseball incident any further (I've had quite enough of the whole issue), but as a note, I think the 1N2D team has managed to convey their side of the story to us quite effectively. Given the circumstances, I think it would be hard to pinpoint any one party to be at fault for the whole brouhaha that broke out. A crowd is always hard to please, what's more with a huge crowd hyped up about a sport. A lot of people had fun, some people were unhappy that things weren't going so well, different tv stations chose to portray different sides to the issue... we'll just have to accept that things are always a mixed basket of blessings. So let's just have fun watching the episode! 1박~~2일~~~!!

This week, the guys arrive in Busan, and they introduce us to some of the things Busan is famed for, such as Haeundae, Guanganri and movies, and KHD starts talking a little about (what else?) food. They then move on to the itinerary for the day, the Busan package that has been prepared for them. They will get the cheapest accomodation, which is a homestay at SongJeong at 8,000 won a head (apparently its the price of 2 bowls of Jajjangmyeon). KHD explains the low price is due to this period being the slack season, so prices have been driven so low. They also get concession passes for the subway, which costs 3,500 won for a whole day, where they get unlimited rides on the subway. LSG calculates that with accommodation and transport accounted for, the trip would cost 11,500 won. Their guide for the day will be the youngest PD (er, the one who got pranked by KHD), who was born in Busan.
EJW: You were born in Busan? I thought you were born in Japan...
LOL. Ok, so they think the PD looks Japanese. Next they go on to the highlight of the day which (we all already know) is the baseball game. They will spend 7,000 won on a general admission seat. The match for the day is Lotte vs Doosan, and EJW muses about how a Doosan fan wouldn't be able to go with them (since I think they are supposed to be rooting for the Lotte team). Kim C is startled at what EJW says, and mistakes EJW for a Doosan fan, to which he asks KHD what to do about EJW.
KimC: He's a Doosan fan.
EJW: Its LOTTE! Why are you like this?
KimC: But you were talking about the Doosan team!
The two of them start squabbling.
KimC: Look, you keep wearing the Doosan cap..
EJW: I WORE THE LOTTE ONE WHEN WE WENT BAEKDUSAN!
Interesting thing to note here is that when the camera shifts to LSGuen here, you can see his cap clearly, and on the cap its written 돼지. Which means pig. LOL! They move on to look at what they'll be doing for the next day and everyone groans, because they have to take a boat again. What's even worse is that the time for them to wake up has been set at 4am! PD then tells them that they get 10,000 won as travelling allowance today (WOW! What's up with the sudden generosity?) The PD explains that this is to allow them to choose whether they want to take the taxi, bus or subway. Its decided that they should split into teams of 3 each, so LSG, LSGuen, EJW take the bus while KHD, KimC, MCM take the subway.

LSG, LSGuen, EJW meet someone (i think he's a driver) on the way to take their double decker bus. The guy tells them he's just watched them on TV the day before.
LSGuen: You don't know all our names right?
Guy: You're Lee Su Guen. (looks at EJW and LSG, whose names he obviously doesn't remember) There are 6 of you...
LSGuen: Yea, there's KHD and MCM.
Guy: (points to EJW) But he's not KHD!
:D Funny. Meanwhile KHD, KimC, MCM take the subway, where they are greeted by excited young people. Their reaction was really funny "WOW! KANG HO DONG!" But then again its probably not everyday you see a celeb on the subway. KHD takes a seat with the ajummas and asks one of them to introduce what's she's proud of in Busan. She tells us the place is fun, there's good food, beautiful beaches and great people and invites everyone to come over for a visit. Meanwhile MCM makes his move on the younger people in the train. He asks the girl if she watches 1N2D regularly. Girl says yes. He asks who she likes the most. She replies MCM. MCM is of course very happy and says she's a girl with feel (LOL). After which he comments "You should take a picture (of me)" and the girl happily whips out her phone to start snapping. Don't you just love cameraphones? I think they are the greatest invention of the century. I sure can't live without mine. Its phototime with MCM and they snap away. MCM even does a sel-ca (Koreans affectionately refer to taking self portraits as sel-ca) with the girl. Gosh, her expression was priceless.

On the double decker, the guys are excited because its the first time they are taking a bus like this.
LSGuen: Dae Ju yah (the youngest writer), why did you come here and not go with HoDong hyung?
DJ: I'm looking for new means of making a living too.. (LOL!!!!!!)
The guys proceed on to be amazed by the sun roof on the double decker bus. They are really comfortable, and EJW mentions how he cannot understand why KHD has given up such comfort to take the subway. The camera then brings us back to KHD and guys on the subway. KHD is talking to some girl about liking some attraction in Busan and she says "Yea, its totally the best" and as KHD is moving on to the next topic, she grabs his arm and goes "Oooh! I really like (you)!!" KHD turns back to look at her and she's embarrassed. Haha, talk about fangirling. The ajummas in the background then go on to say how KHD looks slimmer and better in person than on TV. KHD is obviously happy and starts bragging. Not only that, he gets the ajummas to tell everyone on national tv how its true that he looks really good in person.
MCM: Why are you forcing them!
Ajumma no 1: Everyone, KHD is really slim in real life.
Ajumma no 2: Really, when you see him on TV he looks plump, but when you see him in reality, he's a handsome man (actually what she says is closer to pretty boy), slim, a dandy boy!
Some other well dressed ajumma jumps in to confirm that KHD looks more handsome in real life, and KHD tells her that she looks really pretty now, but when she comes out on tv it would be a different matter. The well dressed ajumma goes on to say how she really likes the 6 members on 1N2D, and KHD goes over to give her a bear hug. MCM gets jealous and whines about how he wants a hug too and KimC pushes him down.

We get back to the LSG team. They're totally enjoying the view outside, and they reach the beach. At this time, KHD and people also reach Haeundae station and they get off the subway. LSG and people then wait for KHD and gang to reach the beach, and they hole up in a tiny corner while waiting. LSGuen notices a group of female students and asks them over. There's a lot of excited squealing going on of course, and the first student heads directly for (who else?) but our LSG. Girl says she feels an onset of goosebumps (actually she says something like she's getting the creeps, but in a positive way). The girls stand in a line amidst the guys, and one of them suddenly squeals "OHH!! PD!! WOW!!" and the three of them start screaming in unison. LSGuen and LSG chuckle at their reactions, while PD Yoo is really embarrassed. LSG mentions how it feels strange that even the PD is recognized these days, while LSGuen asks the girls on their opinions on which country they think PD Yoo looks like he's from. They answer "Japan!" Captions [No matter how popular he is, he still looks Japanese] I laughed myself silly when the girls went crazy over PD Yoo. Gosh, I love this show.

KHD and gang are still stuck at the subway, where they meet an old granny (KHD seems to have a soft spot for the elderly, especially elderly women). The granny goes up to KHD, and they start talking. KHD asks the granny if she's watched 1N2D, and she says she a fan. He asks her where they've been to for trips on the show and the granny gives a very confused answer, saying she doesn't really know (can't blame her, she's old!). She then tells KHD she's headed for the baseball match. Granny here is a total fan of baseball and the Lotte team too, and is going there on her own. When KHD asks her if she thinks Lotte will win, she says they will definitely win if she goes. KHD gets her to cheer for 1N2D, which is pretty funny, especially when she picks on her own pose, and feels that she's done the sign for 2 days wrongly. Cute granny. KHD tells her he'll see her in the baseball stadium later, to which she asks "But did only the two (MCM, KHD) of you come?"
KHD: No, KimC is here too.
Granny: There's the one (person) that I like the best...
KHD: Who? Who? What's his name?
Granny: I don't know his name.
KHD: Is it this person (MCM)?
Granny: I know this person, its not this person.
MCM: Its not this person too (KimC)?
Granny: Its not this person.
KHD: Its not this person? Then... Lee Seung Gi?
Granny: Lee Seung Gi? Ahhh, yea, Lee Seung Gi!
Ok. Turns out that granny loves LSG too.
KHD: Why do you like LSG?
Granny: I don't know... I just like LSG and KHD the best! Where did Lee Seung Gi go?
KHD: LSG is taking a bus now.
MCM gets jealous at the side, LOL. LSG is really popular :D On the beach, EJW is eating babingsoo, a kind of cold korean desert (its yummy!) and apparently gets a headache due to the coldness. MCM and KimC runs over to join the gang, while KHD gets his self esteem boosted asking the crowd some questions.
KHD: Everyone, when you look at KHD in realy life, is he fat or slim?
Crowd: SLIM!
KHD: Is he handsome in real life?
Crowd: HANDSOME!
KHD: Is my face big or small?
Crowd: SMALL!
KHD: Is Jang Dong Gun more handsome or me?
Crowd: JANG DONG GUN!
KHD then walks away. The boys have some fun on the beach, and they head back to their base camp to have some jajjangmyeon. LSG is late again in joining them for the meal because he went to wash up (as usual. His cleanliness is adorable). After the meal, they start preparing for their performance. First they have to decide on a song to use. They decide to use a new song instead of MuJuGeon, as well as think of new dance steps instead of simply copying the moves they've come up with previously on MuJoGeon. They get into a discussion about choice of songs and several options are considered. Funny moment when LSG suggests hand in hand (the 1988 Olympic theme song) and KHD shoots him a look like he's gone insane. Its finally decided that they should use Champion as their song, and KHD goes on to ask them which teams they support. LSG is for LG Twins, LSGuen Doosan Bears, KimC doesn't have a team he supports, EJW Doosan Bears, and MCM supports Doosan Bears also. They decide to split the teams as such (Doosan bears vs Lotte team) for their Bok Bul Bok games later, to decide on who sleeps outdoors and who wakes up early to take the boat. The cheering they come up with is hilarious, with the Doosan Bears team coming up with a growl as their cheer. They then start preparing for the performance seriously, coming up with dance moves. They manage to come up with something halfway decent, and off they head to the stadium for some baseball action.

At the stadium, they are awed by the sheer number of people of there bursting with enthusiasm for the game. The people are really funny, we have a couple of women yelling Seung Gi Yah, Mong ah the 1N2D style. One of the women go a step further and screams EUN CHO DING!! LOL. The granny KHD met earlier makes her reappearance, and goes up to grab LSG's hands :) She also goes to EJW, and says that they're all like her grandsons. But granny still likes LSG the best and gets him to sign on a baseball for her. From the looks of it, the audience were actually allowed to come pretty near the guys. Anyway, the guys just start watching all the pre game activities and they were really amused by the university performers, who were really into what they were doing. They start feeling a little threatened by the enthusiasm of the performances they've seen. The staff comes up to them and asks for 2 people to volunteer as ballboy and batboy. LSG jumps at the chance, and EJW asks to be batboy. So off the two of them go, with EJW dancing along the way.
VJ: Why on earth is EJW behaving like this?
LSG: Its the first time we're in a baseball stadium, that's why.
Meanwhile, the rest of the gang eat snacks at the stands while EJW and LSG get ready. LSG asks if anything big will happen if they make a mistake. The guy tells them the things they have to take note of because the players have to concentrate on their game.
LSG: Then can I get their signatures after the game?
EJW: OF COURSE! What's wrong with you.. Do you sign for people in the middle of singing your song?
LSG: No I don't. Hyung, your analogy is so appropriate.
Off they go outdoors, where they meet Kang Min Ho, one of the key players. The guy actually did a Dooly face when he greeted EJW, its so funny! The guy told them he watches 1N2D a lot too. They then sit on the benches with the mascot, and LSG asks the mascot if he's a guy or girl, to which he rolls up this pants as an answer :) after that, its mostly just the baseball game, and we also see LSG and EJW getting their 2 seconds of action as they run out onto the field. The VJ asks LSG about his feelings.
LSG: I'm so nervous, its really no joke! The umpire is really very scary!
EJW: Scary, scary!
LSG: Really, he's scary! For us its just a one off thing, but for them its really important, so I feel really nervous. (to the VJ) huh? This is a live program now? Us?
LOL. Huh-dang moment AGAIN. The crowd then starts chanting for MCM, and their images are projected onto the screen.
LSG: Is that our 1N2D members there? Our members?
The break soon approaches and our members get up to get ready. LSG and EJW return indoors, and one of the writers starts asking them questions.
Writer: Is it very tiring? You seem to have sweat a lot.
LSG: Ah, it was really nerve wrecking because of the teacher umpire (he called the umpire songsaengnim, which means teacher)
The members then gather and practice their dance again. From what the PD tells the guys, it seems he's contacted the PD in charge of the live screening of the baseball match for the necessary arrangements, so its not like they went in there totally spur of moment. Anyway, out they went into the field and the crowd went wild. Things weren't too hot for the 1N2D team though. First, the music didn't start on time. Fortunately, the music finally started and the boys sprung into action. But. But. But. The song that was played was the wrong one. The guys were also supposed to do a rap, but their voices got completely drowned out by the crowd. The guys had no choice but to continue anyway. EJW did his hiphop routine. Boy, I'm so used to his Eun Cho Ding image that I've completely forgotten that the guy is quite decent when it comes to dancing. LSGuen does his usual funny dance, and KimC comes out with a dance that made the Lotte team go OMG! Haha. MCM did something slightly similar to his Circus dance, while LSG did his bounce+ballerina act. KHD also churned out a hilarious dance, and that's supposed to be the end. KHD says a few words of thanks to the crowd and they are supposed to go off. But at this moment, the crowd starts chanting something. Yes, they started chanting MuJoGeon. And the chants just got louder and louder. It was so loud that I couldn't even hear what KHD was trying to say in response to that in the video. Everyone in the team is shocked when they hear the loud chanting, and even KHD looks at a loss as to what to do. They can't really remember the dance steps, and the pressure from the crowd is just insane. The entire crowd just starts singing the song, and the members decide to just go with the flow and join in. Seeing that, I don't see how they can be blamed for performing the song (which supposedly was another rival team's song) when the crowd themselves were pushing for it. But poor KimC. He looked totally lost. Its quite unfair to him, seeing that he wasn't there for the competition back then and really probably doesn't know the dance steps. Suddenly the song starts playing, and the crowd goes wild again, with the guys doing their bit and dancing. With that, the guys run off the field with the crowd cheering loudly. When the guys reach indoors, they're just amazed by what has happened. LSG and LSGuen keep saying that the crowd was just amazing and their minds were really in a blank, and LSGuen mentioned how even KHD was at a loss, when he usually would be in control. The guys end with their heartfelt thanks, and that's it for this week!

update

2008-09-26T10:07:00.000-07:00

Still busy studying. Will try to update more after my exams. This is from what I've done on soompi.

We start again this week with a recap of last week's happenings.

Now that the first team's performance is over, we have the second team coming in for their performance. Funny moment when KHD is introducing the second team's members and deliberately changes their names Kim Su Guen, NG Mong and Lee C. The second team runs in and presents gifts to the audience before performing, and LSGuen continues with his funny dance for too long.
KimC: SuGuen ah! Come back, come back! (LSGuen snaps out of his dance) Ready!
They start their show. MCM as grandpa, LSGuen as grandma and KimC as the background music. They start a hilarious skit, with the two mumbling all sorts of funny stuff.
MCM: This body is old~ Should consider eating some tonics~
LSGuen Captions [You're gonna eat everything all by yourself??]
LSGuen: What about ME? ME?? If you take everything then what's for me? You rascal! *slaps*
Oh, that was BRILLIANT. The slapping accompanied by the guitar. These guys really know how to make things look funny!
MCM: Let's change (roles)!
LSGuen: Change (roles)?
MCM: I'm the granny! Granny!
LSGuen: I'm the gramps, gramps!
[They switch in 5 seconds!]
They start singing again, and i think MCM screams something husband. Or it could be old man. Not too sure. Anyway, LSGuen responds the exact same way he did earlier and slaps MCM. LOL. KHD then cuts in, laughing loudly and his captions say [That's weak! That's weak!] With that, the two teams end their performances. KHD tells the audience that they will pass out pieces of paper with KHD and LSGuen's name on it, and they are to mark the team they like with an O. The winning team gets to sleep indoors while the losing team heads for the wilderness amongst the lettuces. Another spot of humour here when KHD re-introduces the two teams and pretends he doesn't know the names of 3 in the other teams, leading to a few moments of awkward silence. The pieces of paper are passed around by the boys.
KHD: Please save me!
LSG also goes around with the voting slips, which ensured a few delighted shrieks from the women of course. Captions made me laugh. [Seung Gi's beauty trap?] Meanwhile KHD makes a move on the cute toddler, who doesn't seem too interested in him. All the same, KHD is happy playing with the toddler.

The moment of intense stress then comes with the counting of votes. No one wants sleep amongst the lettuces since it's madly cold out there in the night (as the plot owner already told them last episode) and they have to sleep WITHOUT a tent. Again, we have KHD introducing the situation to the viewers, about how the votes have been gathered and stuff, but the other boys don't care. They just kept stuffing themselves with the food on the table biggrin.gif Aww, LSG was trying to finish up those watermelons, haha. KHD caught sight of the boys pigging out and sighed.
KHD: Sigh... My heart hurts!
KimC: Just let the kids eat before going...
KHD: Ok, there should be a total of 24 votes in all. We're going to look at the votes one by one now. Which of the team performance did everyone like the best? We'll count the votes and find out now.
PD: Ok, I'm going to read out the votes one by one to you. Now, first vote. Kang Ho Dong 1 vote!
The guys are hyped up and sit together closely holding hands. The PD continues to announce the votes to them. It was really tense, and we saw a banjun (banjun is reversal in korean) of sorts when LSGuen's team went from 2 votes to match and even up to KHD team's 6 votes. Things get even more nerve wrecking from then on, with each team matching vote for vote as the counting went on.
EJW: This is unbelievable, what's this?!
I agree with him. Just so you guys know, the PDs didn't mess around with the votes to make the situation so tense, it was all coincidental (I choose to believe the PDs). KHD calls for time out at 10:9, with 5 votes remaining, and the guys are a pile of nervous wrecks, all afraid that they'd be the ones sleeping outside. At 11:10, the PD prepares to open another vote.
PD: Oh! This! We'll reserve this vote for later.
The guys protest, but the PD insists that there's a reason for it, and reassures the guys that he'll open that particular vote last.
KHD: Really, you haven't messed around with the votes have you?
PD: I'm seeing this with you guys now too!
KHD: The KBS team swears this on their conscience?
PD: Yes, on our conscience.
LSG: Wow, this is really something. Hyung it seems this always happens?
The vote is read out and its 11 all. The last vote (not counting the one taken out by the PD earlier) is read out, and it goes to KHD, and they are really upbeat since the guys have effectively won the battle. If the vote that the PD took out goes to LSGuen, they tie. If it goes to KHD they win. If the vote went to both teams KHD still wins.
PD: Now I'll show you the last problematic vote. Let's have MC Mong reveal the vote. Show it to the camera.
We finally get to know what's wrong with the vote. The voters were supposed to mark their vote with an O. But this voter decided to do things his own way and marked his vote with an X. (By the way, Koreans generally go with the O and X system for yes or no. So the problem here is that they don't know if the X means no, or whether it just means the vote goes to KHD)
Of course the other team protests and insists that they've tied.
KHD: Does an X mean that he doesn't like us?
LSGuen: No, it doesn't mean he doesn't like, the X means that its NOT this team! (He means) Its NOT KANG HO DONG!
They get into a heated argument over the meaning of the O and X.
LSGuen: No, what the person was thinking was that 'Ah, Kang Ho Dong, this person is really (gestures a big cross) not the one!' Its like this!!
KimC: You can't possibly use an X if you like the person!
LOL. They continue to quarrel over this and team KHD's brain LSG steps out to argue for their stand. He says something wrongly though, and KHD pulls him back to stop him from going on. LSG protests and asks for a final chance at finishing up his debate which earns him a mock chop in his neck from KHD. MCM tries to argue that since KHD's name was crossed, he should head for the hills with LSGuen's team too. LSG argues in his defence.
LSG: Ok, let's just take it as the voter disliked (KHD) and marked it as an X. We acknowledge that X means the person didn't like the subject, but should that be counted? That's a null vote! (since the voter didn't follow instructions)
Team LSGuen have no choice but to accept the results, and head for the wild to sleep.

KHD and LSGuen then get voted into waking up early to pick up a couple of the locals to go to the lettuce patch the next morning, After that, we see that it rained while the guys are sleeping outside and they are woken up to move into the tents. The next morning the guys just go out into the patch to get some work done, while KimC and MCM whip up a meal for them. Funny moment when this old lady fails to recognise MCM. Cant' really remember much of the episode now offhand now.

I picked out some of the more exciting (IMHO) and interesting interview conversations as well as unseen footage to translate from the Chuseok special. Thought it was pretty well done, even though I'd have loved to hear things from KimC and EJW's perspective. For some odd reason they weren't interviewed. Schedule clashes I guess. It would also have been much better if they had shown less of the original episode and more of the BTS though. But I really have to give credit to these editors. 400 tapes of raw footage, which would translate to at least 400 hours, if not more, of videos to go through before editing, captioning, doing the on-screen effects and the background music. Kudos to them. They're amazing.

Early on in the video, the interviewer asked MCM "At which point of the trip was it the toughest?" and MCM's reply was "Is that a question you are asking me now? 4 nights 5 days was tough, coming back was tough too." Just goes to show how draining the trip was for the 6 guys.

LSG 's view on the boat trip
LSG: To me, that wasn't a boat (uh, ship would be more appropriate I guess), it was like a hotel. Because it was so comfortable on the boat (ship), I have no memories of suffering on the boat trip.

After that, they he washed up with EJW, and they had a conversation about their complexions (I think) and how the trip's wreaked havoc on it. Funny moment when EJW says "When you look at me at night, you can only see my eyes". He isn't that dark is he?
Then comes a LSG Huh-dang moment. He exits the washroom, only to have EJW scream for him a few minutes later.
EJW: Oh? YAH! SEUNG GI YAH! SEUNG GI YAH!
LSG: Yea?
EJW: SHAMPOO!
LSG reenters.
LSG: Hyung, but you have no hair to shampoo! Hyung you wash (shampoo) your hair?
EJW: Of course!
LSG: I thought people with very short hair don't wash (shampoo) their hair.
LOL. Then EJW pops his head under the hand dryer to dry his hair. These guys. They always do all sorts of non-conventional stuff.
When they arrive at the ferry terminal, LSGuen mentions how he misses his wife. Which immediately prompts LSG to say he misses his puppy, thus we have that cut of Sang Guen, with the captions "...Me?" That was really a cute one.

They then get on the bus, where MCM tries out his cellphone's roaming service and calls back home. Initially he just couldn't get it to work, but he eventually figured the problem out and passed on the info to LSG. LSG then calls his sister.
LSG: Hello? Soo Yeon? Are you home? Ah, oppa's in China now. We can see the North Korean territory from here.
Captions go [He calls his sister to brag] LOL!!

Anyway, LSG+MCM+KimC decide to get off the bus and walk a little so that they get at least a little stretch, and we see LSG stopping dead in his tracks suddenly just to say "The bus is coming". The guys ask him how he knows that and he says he heard the bus. The others refute his statement saying that he's just hearing his own footsteps. Turns out LSG was right, his hearing is quite sharp! The episode continues with the whole LSG scare fest thing, with LSG laughing sheepishly during his interview. Turns out that the guys were allowed to get off the bus to wash up and stuff.

EJW very aptly described his feelings while brushing his teeth. LOL he seems to have lots to say when he brushes his teeth.
EJW: I have no memory of the boat trip! We just took a bus from Seoul to China! I have no memory of the boat trip. Why did we take the bus?

The staff were all tired out, and many of them expressed their wish to go home. KimC talked about how it was really tiring and he doesnt see how they're gonna make it to Baekdusan, while Dae Ju was going on about how the bus trip is really the toughest part. Meanwhile we have LSG doing his self talk again, brainwashing himself into believing that he's not tired. LOL

Fast forward to the part where LSG talks about the climb (I'm sorry, I'm skimming through the videos as I watch too. I'll do a more detailed one when I get the time) He apparently had 3 big worries, which he revealed to the interviewer.
1. Would they really be able to complete the climb?
2. Would they really be able to see Heaven's lake?
3. I HAVE to be the first to reach the top!
He's competitive! Like really. So cute.

On EJW
LSG: His shorts were like hot pants! ...
Its then revealed through the convo the PD and EJW had that its EJW's first time on a mountain trip. The PD was like flabberghasted at that, while EJW was going "My first mountain trip, BAEKDUSAN!"

1 Night 2 Days 080907

2008-09-09T03:21:00.000-07:00

All right, since I have a 4 hour break in school, I figure I might as well start translating some stuff. Boy, this week's episode is long! And there are lots of LSG cute moments. I think almost everyone should know by now that KBS has gotten their hands on our lovely heather's youtube channel. That really sucks. Her video quality was one of the better ones on youtube and the entire channel was devoted to 1N2D. I'm grieving for everything lost already. to those who upload videos for our enjoyment, i really salute what you guys do for us.

We start this week's episode with a recap of the opening from last week. You have to really admit that HyunSuk (MCM's manager) can really pull off a mean KHD imitation. But of course he doesn't hype up the atmosphere half as well as KHD does.

[1am, KBS]
LSG: Are we really going to set off like this?
MCM: Of course!
EJW: Ahh! Its raining.
LSG: Ah, when we are in our formal wear!
Ahh. But the weather isnt going to let up just because you are in formal wear, haha
KimC: No, but we are in our formal wear! where are we going in our formal wear?
LSG: Are we going on an island?
Someone in the background says: We'll take a boat?
EJW: We are going to an island? Doesn't that mean we are going to take a boat? Right?
LSG: What are we taking there? PD, what are we taking there?
I notice that LSG is quite student-like in his actions. Usually when he has a question to ask, he'll raise his hands, just like a student
PD: If everyone here adamantly insists on going your separate ways, we've prepared 2 cars for you here. We have here a bus and a car. So KHD and all of you here will have to settle the problem of who takes which car.
EJW: Eh? Who?
PD: KHD-sshi. You have to settle it with him.
[They have to meet HoDong whom they dislike] ---> LOL!!
KHD: Friendship? Us? (makes a face, haha!) I'm not doing that!
[HoDong is now]
[Sulky and tired]

KimC: Let's meet him and see how things go first.
EJW: But the person in question himself doesn't want to meet us, it's HoDong hyung.
LSG: Because we have our own pride too, we can't just send one person over (to talk to KHD).
PD: Then just call for him. HoDong-sshi.
Notice here, they switch from calling KHD hyung (brother) to calling him HoDong-sshi (which is kind of like Mr HoDong). Its more formal, and it made the whole thing really funny, since they looked like a bunch of really well dressed punks trying to pick on their target.
EJW: Even if we call him he won't reply! HODONG-SSHI!!!
MCM: If we call him and he doesn't reply then we'll just go, ok?
TGT: One, two, three! HODONG-SSHI!!
KHD: (triumphantly) Hahahaha! Now? Now it's come? (as in like now they're calling for me?)
[But he LOVES IT TO DEATH]
LSG: (We have to make it seem like) We have no choice and just have to go off first! (let's call for him a ) Last time!
TGT: One, two, three! HODONG-SSHI!!
KHD: SO NOISY! YOU RASCALS!
The guys get really excited at KHD's (haha, unfriendly) answer and make it seem like its not their fault, its KHD's fault for being unfriendly. LOL.
LSG: This is not progressing. Let's take some countermeasures. Really, even though we keep going HyunSuk hyung HyunSuk hyung, but we have to get one of us to go over (to KHD). Leader. SuGuen hyung.
[Nominate SuGuen?]
MCM: For me, really, I nominate SuGuen hyung-nim. (nim is an honorific form) During this period of time, our SuGuen hyung-nim has really been mistreated by KHD. It was really painful...
LSGuen: (cutting in) I dont even have anything to say to that person. Nothing to say at all. Its just like that. To me he's like a stranger.
MCM: You can't do this. We believe in you. Hyung you HAVE to do it.
LSG: Hyung you are the MC!
MCM: LEE SU GUEN IS THE LEADER! APPLAUSE!!
They all pressure LSGuen into the job.
EJW: When will this have an end? From now on! Now!
Guys all start chanting LSGuen's name.
LSGuen: Ok. Let's go. Let's go.
LOL. Now that LSGuen has gotten everyone's approval, he decides to take up the job of MC. These guys are so funny. HyunSuk hold up the umbrella as a makeshift reporter's mike to interview LSGuen.
MCM: This is the ceremony for the second generation of 1N2D's MC.
LSGuen: Yes, nice to meet you. The MC that the cast looks up to. The nation's MC. The MC who constantly lowers his body (haha because he's short!) Lee Su Guen is here.
While LSGuen goes on crapping about himself (which i won't translate since its mostly just crapping) as the MC, MCM starts pretending to be the backstage crew cum bodyguard. Funny~~
LSGuen: ......I'm the nation's representative MC, so please believe in me and follow me. Thank you.
MCM: Please appoint our duties.
LSGuen: Eun Ji Won-sshi. You are the ... strategy planning section chief!
EJW accepts gratefully. Really, in the formal wear and complete with the chains, EJW can pass off as the mafia already
LSG: Then what business does the strategy planning team carry out?
EJW: Well, first of all, we'll have to take care of the expenses of 1N2D and stuff.
LSGuen: Well, in future, if anyone here films a CF, the earnings will have to be divided equally here.
This causes a stir of course. They move on to the show's name.
LSGuen: We need to change the name to new 1Night 2Days..
They come up with the idea to write the word 주 (Chu, which means new) in front of 1N2D.
LSGuen: Then our MCM is the publicityand public relations head. Since we will face some hardships, to tide us over this, you shall contribute 100,000,000 won.
[Meanwhile]
KHD: Why aren't they calling (me)?
Dae Ju has no answer for him.
PD: Are we not doing Bok-Bul-Bok?
KHD: If we are playing bok-bul-bok... then I have to go down?
PD: Well, the car is there...
KHD: (cuts in) NO NO NO NO NO NO! I don't think so!

Back at the other guys, the PD tells them that KHD has just contacted them and he's not giving in. To move things along, LSGuen decides to go over to negotiate with KHD, with LSG in tow as his umbrella holder.
LSGuen: KHD-SSHI! KHD-sshi! Let's talk! You shouldn't settle things like this! Yea? KHD-sshi! Why are you up there avoiding people? You can't even come out and face us openly? Huh? Are you scared of me? If you're not afraid then how your face! Yea? KHD-sshi!(LSGuen laughs suddenly) sheesh~ ahh... me.. (what am i doing, he means)
LSG: Oh! He came! Hyung is here!
Even while doing the group in discord act, LSG can't stop himself from calling KHD hyung. Haha, little slips here and there that show this whole thing (or at least part of it) was scripted.
LSGuen: KHD-sshi! AJUSSHI!!! (means middle aged man) KHD-sshi! What on earth are you doing now? What are you doing you (rascal)?! Yea? If you have no confidence, then just renounce... (he runs off)
HoDong gives chase. LSGuen reaches the safety of his group, where the others try to stop KHD. LOL, they are still afraid of him, no matter what. It doesn't matter if he's alone, KHD the sirreum champion really scares the living heavens out of these boys
[He dicovers HyunSuk]
[HoDong Feels even more perplexed]
[The clone's counterattack]
The team gets themselves to gather and isolate KHD.
EJW: Well, we still have to go on the trip, and they have prepared the two cars for us.
KHD: I don't even know why I'm having this conversation with you in this situation.
EJW: In this case do you want to just take the car? Just take the car and go?
KimC: KHD-sshi, sorry but...
KHD: Are you going to cut your act? Cut it out!! (goes towards LSGuen) as for YOU...
Everyone rushes to protect LSGuen from the big grizzly bear. KHD starts playing with LSGuen's clothes. LSGuen calls for backup.
LSGuen: Financial chief! Financial chief! This won't do.
LSG: No, chief, what's wrong with you?
EJW goes to LSGuen.
LSGuen: Strategy planning chief! What should do now?
The other guys call for the public relations manager.
EJW: Tell him how we are going to carry on 1N2d from now on.
MCM: In future on our homepage, KHD's photos will not take precedence over the rest of us anymore.
MCM goes on about what will happen in future. (I'll translate that bit when I get home, I can't hear what's he's saying with the music and all the din behind me.)
KHD: Dae Ju yah! Dae Ju yah! Dae Ju yah! (In case you forgot, DJ is the youngest writer. Amazing how we even know the names of the crew on this show, isn't it?)
[He looks for the 'main' writer like he's lost his mind]
[And looking like this, he's standing in the rain himself!]
KHD: Dae Ju yah, do we have an umbrella? Don't we have an umbrella? We have an umbrella right?
[Dae Ju makes his appearance!] With a pretty and dainty umbrella that DOESN'T fit KHD's image AT ALL.
[Mary Popkins?]
KHD tells them that he doesn't really want to talk to them, and so its decided by KHD that they should settle this quickly and not play bok-bul-bok. He asks them to send out a representative to play the palm slapping game. They also lay out the ground rules that the game should only be played once, the winner will take the bus and the loser takes the car. During the first game, BOTH KHD and LSGuen fell after slapping palms (even though KHD didn't exactly fall onto the ground, just toppled back a little). They start another new game. What happens next is self explanatory. The guys win KHD and run off onto the bus to celebrate without even giving KHD time to blink. Left without a choice, KHD and Dae Ju start studying the map to prepare for their trip.

On the bus
LSGuen: I feel so happy now. I'm so happy, I only wish that time could stop now. This instant, I'm the national MC!
LSG: Really?
LSGuen: Huh? Yea. I'm the district MC, district. Mapo district..
They all giggle. I think the guys are really tired by then, you see LSG yawning, and the other guys seem distracted too. They always seem to start the trip at some ungodly hour, don't they?

Back to KHD
KHD: PD! What about our traveling allowances? You should give us traveling allowance.
PD: Oh yea, I have it here.
[Each team gets 5000 won]
KHD: What's that?
PD: Ah, this is for them.
KHD: I'll give it to them. Give me that.
PD: Huh?;;
KHD: I'll give it to them, give it to me.
[What can I do...]
Back to the guys on the bus, where LSGuen is talking about his being a district MC. KHD knocks on the door.
HyunSuk: Its safari, safari.
[The reason why KHD is waving at them]
KHD's captions [Look here. At this] KHD brandishes the other team's money.
EJW: He's holding on to our money!
LSG: No, what do we do now?
LSGuen: We just have to deal with it. Who's the strategist?
LSG: Its JiWon hyung.
LSGuen: Go get the money back.
EJW: This is a problem with money. Money problems should go to the financial chief!
LSG: Yea. money problems should go to the financial chief!
LSGuen: Entertainment chief!
[His words don't even make sense]
LSG: Hey, entertainment chief? Why me??
Meanwhile KHD is really happy outside.
LSG: 5000won? We'll just give up the 5000 won!
[No interest in the money outside at all, the six people]
KHD's captions [Oh? Why's it turning out like this?]
He tries going near the bus again and trying to get some reaction out of the guys by waving the money near the window. Well that turned out to be a mistake. Eun Cho Ding immediately grabbed it with his fast hands, and KHD was left without any immunition against the guys. The guys inside the bus all rejoice.
LSG: Here, let's set off! Set off, set off!

Okok, lessons are starting. Gotta run, be back later!

080831 1 Night 2 Days

2008-09-02T01:51:00.001-07:00

Well, as usual 1N2D is unpredictable. I laughed so hard at the live morning song that I almost couldn't breathe! Aw, LSG is such a good boy. Notice how he immediately snaps up, hurriedly nods and greets the woman, then vigorously shakes JiWon out of his slumber when he realises that there's a visitor to their base camp. Then he speeds off to try to open the other end of the tent to wake MCM and LSGuen when she moves towards them. Of course this time he remembered to put on his cap to hide his morning hair. I wonder how the woman actually managed to sing the entire song! I would have just started laughing madly at their stunned and sleepy faces.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I thought that the editing towards the end of this episode got a little sloppy again. It was kind of sudden for me, the way they just moved on to the next trip's opening. But the concept for next week's episode looks very interesting. KHD getting left out this time after his countless sabotaging of the others (I mean this in a joking manner, not offensive! I really like KHD, he's a great MC). I like the preppy glasses + jacket look at the end of the episode for LSG. Very huh-dang looking. At least he kept the hat away from the glasses this time, LOL. Looks like a big reunion is in order next week, looking at the trailers. Feel hyped up about it!

This week, the guys are trying to decide who gets the tent and who gets the wilderness for bedtime, bok bull bok style of course. The guys start off with the non word game. For those new to the game, they just have to say 3 nonsense syllables which makes no sense and is not an actual word. The next person takes the last syllable to form another new nonsense word. Anyone who says something remotely like a real word or if someone else manages to somehow make some sense out of the 3 syllables, then the person is out. To cut a long story short, LSG says banggukik and gets time-outed immediately. Well, banggu means to fart in korean. JiWon and Suguen then do a simulation of how the word will make sense. Suguen farts, (thats the banggu part) and JiWon pretends to 'kik' (its just a sound here) and faint. So LSG is the first one out. The guys then continue with the game, but SuGuen calls for timeout suddenly. Turns out that he feels they are repeating the syllables kak and kik too much, which makes things repetitive, with each round taking longer and its harder for them to get a loser anyway. Jiwon points out that KHD likes to use the syllables pong and sam, and that he uses it everytime. So LSGuen goes on to suggest that they should remove the use of the kak, kik and kok during the game. Everyone agrees and they continue. Next KimC says bu ri cchi and gets booted with MCM and LSGuen's explanation. I didn't understand what they were talking about though. Notice here LSG is busy frying up the meat (i think) in the pan. So random. They continue the game again and MCM gets booted out because he uses the syllable kak. He tries to deny it, but gets booted anyway. EJW and LSGuen continue the game. EJW says chal shi dok. I think he figured out that he stepped into the trap LSGuen laid for him the moment he said those three syllables, he was sitting there with his head hung, LOL. Anyway LSGuen's explaination is that when he goes into a restaurant that sells rice cakes and looks at the menu, he orders chal shi's dok (dok means rice cake). Thus LSGuen wins.

After that, MCM volunteers to be the first to eat the sauces. I'm not sure what the sauces are, but what I do know is that one is extremely hot and spicy, while the other is not. And both are red, so they are practically indistinguishable. MCM gets the non-spicy sauce, and so he gets to sleep in the tent. LSG enthusiastically volunteers himself next.
LSG: I'll be the second! I'll be the second one! If number is not (the spicy one), then I'm not so sure about 2, 3, 4 (meaning he suspects those are the spicy ones). For me? I take number 6.
KHD takes charge of preparing the sauce for LSG. Someone starts laughing madly.
LSG: What's wrong? (and he tries to peek)
LSGuen: Don't look at it... If you look at it its going to be harder!
KHD feeds the poor boy the chunk of meat with the hot sauce.
[Finally it starts]
[but...]
[Seung gi starts smiling!]
[The reason behind his smile?]
[This time he bursts out laughing!]
KimC: What are you so happy about? Is it really so good?
[He twists his body]
[Its come...] (the hot sauce they mean)
[His face gradually turns red]
The guys start egging him on at the side, making all sorts of comments.
[And finally..]
LSG: WOAHHHHH!!! (Awwwww~~~ this was really cute. Really cute!!)
The guys start chanting at LSG asking him not to cry. LOL. The poor boy really looked like he was gonna bawl any moment. JiWon commented that LSG's nose was running.
LSG: Quickly, quickly, quickly! I've eaten it all! (sticks out his tongue to prove it.)
KHD: So what!
You see. They didn't specify that if one were to finish the hot sauce they would be spared the wilderness. And so the rather cruel comment from KHD. haha! But anyway LSG keeps asking them to hurry on with everything. I think he kind of lost his sense there for a moment because of the hot sauce. KHD laughs happily and announces LSG being booted out and chosen to sleep in the wilderness. The boy keeps squirming around like he's lost control of himself after the hot sauce.
KHD: Go drink some water!
LSG: Ah, hurry and continue with the game!
[The conclusion...]
The boy sprints off to the tap suddenly and really fast to rinse his mouth.
KHD: Seung Gi yah your nose is running.
LSG: This is no joke, really!
KHD: How about the lemon? How's this in comparison to the lemon?
LSG: It doesn't even come close!
You realise that his voice changes after eating that hot sauce, so I believe it should really be quite hot. Hopefully they don't do this often. Extreme food like this doesn't exactly do wonders for the throat. LSG then starts trying to describe how eating the hot sauce is like. Halfway through he cuts himself off saying "Aye, I really can't talk now." LOL!!
They continue with the game and the rest is easy to understand. Jiwon gets the hot sauce too, and the two kids have to sleep outside. They get MCM's manager to try too, and he ends up competing for water with JiWon. LOL. Next up, the boys muck around with the makeshift outdoor WC, and all of them start to target KHD who's in the makeshift WC. First LSGuen asks KHD if he can join him inside. Of course KHD says it'll be wierd if he does since the space is really small. Then MCM starts pouring water into the tent, and shaking it like a leaf. Meanwhile KHD is left inside screaming NO NO NO!! YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T!!! inside the tent. Seung Gi gets ready, in the meantime, to brush his teeth.
KHD: Seung Gi, it's raining?
LSG: (totally clueless and looking at the sky) What's this?
KHD starts spraying water on poor Seung Gi who screams really loudly.
LSG's captions [Oh great.. so you want to do this?]
[Seung Gi's angry/agitated mode]
LSG starts running around the tent, getting KHD all twisted up in his worries that LSG would do something mad. And LSG tries to unzip the tent's opening, presumably to expose KHD. KHD starts apologising profusely to LSG.
LSGuen's captions [Continue..]
KimC's captions [This can't go on air]
Finally KHD makes it out of the tent, in one piece. HAAHAHA. After which they prepare to sleep, and we see LSG and EJW trying to exterminate the mozzies, which was hilarious. Especially after the staff gave them the mozzie net to keep out the mozzies, and the two of them were trying to get in fast to keep the mozzies out. Ahh, LSG. Soo funny. Oh yes, does anyone know what was written on his black shirt? It was mossaic-ed out. I wonder what was on it. And this is totally random, but his striped pants really look like jailpants out of a comic. Later in the tent, KHS muses about whether the show will be able to celebrate its 2nd birthday, to which MCM says it will come in a flash, while LSGuen says he feels that they'll be able to continue for 40 years. KHD laughs and asks LSGuen how old he is and the guys continue to just chat idly before drifting off to sleep. Next up is the classic live morning song of course.

[The next day]
[The start of 1N2D]
[After a year, they are back at Yongdong in the morning]
[Sleeping peacefully, JiWon and Seung Gi]
[However beside their heads lies their killer instinct] ---> hahahaha!
[Meanwhile in the tent]
[The two people]
[Are they having a stroll?] hmm. no idea why they mentioned stroll here. Or maybe I read the captions wrongly.

[Anyway they have to wake up today too]
[Official morning song ON]
[But]
[They've developed tolerance for it already]
[Fast asleep]

Sang Guen's captions [It has absolutely no effect]
[They sleep on without any regard (for the morning song)]
[A visitor comes to look for them]

[Celebration for their one year anniversary]
the word celebration is crossed out and replaced with the words [Retraining of their senses]
[The strongest Morning song in history starts]
Enter Kim Hye Young, the singer in yellow.

Captions for Sang Guen [OMG! She really came!]
[They are still not aware of the surroundings yet]
[Now going towards the wooden benches]
[Now changing direction towards KimC]
[KimC is the first target!]
KimC's captions [Oh gosh!]

[Seung Gi wakes up]
Seung Gi's captions [Why's there a woman singing] [Huh?] [MY GOD!]
[JiWon's fastest wake up time as of yet]
KHD's captions [What's this... So noisy]
[Huh?]
[W,What?]
Singer greets KHD.
[An awkward greeting]
[Its panic mode here] 이미 이쪽은 패닉 상태.
[She goes towards the tent]
[They are still sleeping without a care for the world]
[Even though Seung Gi quickly goes to try wake them up]
MCM's captions [Oh! OH!]
[They nearly get a heart attack]
MCM's captions [Wh,What?]
[To Sang Guen too]
Sang Guen's captions [NI~~CE]
[This is how the voice behind the official morning song really looks like!]
Captions for the singer to JiWon [ Wake up Wake Up!]
Jiwon's captions [ Yes, Yes..]
Captions for MCM and LSGuen [DAZED~]

The guys were then assigned into pairs to cook and get food as usual. KHD came up with the crazy idea that he can self direct and stage a 'ramyeon forced feeding session', so that he wouldn't be blamed for eating by himself. Kind of like he's trying to act like he's an unwilling partner in crime. Of course, as with all crazy ideas, its always the more people the merrier. So he roped in the mangers, PDs and people to be force fed, and he got them to force feed him too, and we have a whole scene there with people HAPPILY struggling to (not!) eat the ramyeon HAHAHAHA!~~ Of course, KimC and LSGuen returned and did some CSI, after which they determined that KHD has committed the worst crime of betraying his buddies and eating instant noodles behind their back. Upon further questioning, they found out KHD ate the ramyeon 5 times (as in he was 'force fed' 5 times). They decide to prepare their own breakfasts and eat separately. However, KimC asks EJW to eat together with them since he hasn't eaten too (i think EJW didn't eat the ramyeon. at least it wasn't shown that he did) while KHD is washing something at the taps. EJW hesitates for a while, then asks if he should bring along the rice he's cooked with KHD to eat with them too. Of course, EJW runs into the embrace of LSGuen and KimC, with his pot of rice in tow. KHD can only watch from the sidelines helpless. He proceeds to have a hilarious imaginary phone conversation with MCM. The editors showed what MCM was saying on his side while catching fish with LSG too, which was a really funny contrast.

Meanwhile, our LSG duo ran into some difficulties trying to catch some decent fish for breakfast. Apparently LSG cannot handle a fishing rod too, hahaha! Just look at what happened to the poor rod. Anyway, the two of them knew that if they went back empty handed, they would be on the receiving end of endless (friendly though, haha) bashing from the other guys. And since LSG is the one with the more innocent image (haha, actually inspiration hit them when LSG was looking at his legs while complaining about catching fish), they decided to stage an act with LSG spraining his ankle, so that they can hopefully 1. Not get bashed by the other guys. 2. Get to slack. 3. Get some food. There was quite a bit of conspiracy going on on last week's episode, LOL. He limped while walking back, only to have EJW say immediately him "Ah, he's just acting!" HAHA. But KHD was really quite concerned about LSG, and so they got LSG to eat some stuff. LSG ate gladly, only to have EJW ask him if he ate anything on the way. LSG said no, to which LSGuen said then there's no need for him to act and pretend he's injured. To which LSG and MCM told him about how they were apparently told by KHD (?) that if they were to catch no fish, lord knows what will happen to them. Suddenly everyone starts blaming KHD for the turn of events. KHD gets pissed, and they decide to split ways. KHD asks the staff, cameramen, PDs and writers to choose their team. No surprise, everyone goes over to the 5 guy team. In the end KHD manages to get the youngest writer, telling him that he'll start a new show and the youngest writer can become the hotshot on his new show The 5 guys then decide that they will go luxurious for their next trip. Fast forward to the next opening, where the guys are separated into 2 teams, one lonely and forlorn, the other luxurious and picture perfect, complete with suits and everything.

EDIT: Here's another short summary I posted on Soompi.
In short, what happened last week was that they played the games, LSG and EJW got chosen to sleep outdoors with the company of some really huge bugs. KimC ate the hot sauce too, but because he was able to pretend that he wasn't eating the hot sauce and also didn't drink water (unlike LSG and EJW), he was able to sleep in the tent too. Even so he and KHD ended up sleeping outside the tent in the end, which i presume is because it was too hot. Also the two poor boys LSG and EJW got a mosquito net from the staff who were feeling sorry and generous Which resulted in their hilarious attempt to try to get in while keeping the bugs out. Funny~~

After that came the classic live wakeup song which pretty much woke everyone up in a hurry. I managed to find some time to translate that. Its just too classic to be missed out on.

Meanwhile KHD is left inside screaming NO NO NO!! YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T!!! inside the tent. Seung Gi gets ready, in the meantime, to brush his teeth.
KHD: Seung Gi, it's raining?
LSG: (totally clueless and looking at the sky) What's this?
KHD starts spraying water on poor Seung Gi who screams really loudly.
LSG's captions [Oh great.. so you want to do this?]
[Seung Gi's angry/agitated mode]
LSG starts running around the tent, getting KHD all twisted up in his worries that LSG would do something mad. And LSG tries to unzip the tent's opening, presumably to expose KHD. KHD starts apologising profusely to LSG.
LSGuen's captions [Continue..]
KimC's captions [This can't go on air]
Finally KHD makes it out of the tent, in one piece. HAAHAHA. After which they prepare to sleep, and we see LSG and EJW trying to exterminate the mozzies, which was hilarious. Especially after the staff gave them the mozzie net to keep out the mozzies, and the two of them were trying to get in fast to keep the mozzies out. Ahh, LSG. Soo funny. Oh yes, does anyone know what was written on his black shirt? It was mossaic-ed out. I wonder what was on it. And this is totally random, but his striped pants really look like jailpants out of a comic. Later in the tent, KHS muses about whether the show will be able to celebrate its 2nd birthday, to which MCM says it will come in a flash, while LSGuen says he feels that they'll be able to continue for 40 years. KHD laughs and asks LSGuen how old he is and the guys continue to just chat idly before drifting off to sleep. Next up is the classic live morning song of course.

080824 1 Night 2 Days 1/7 축아해요~~~

2008-08-24T21:43:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to 1N2D~ Ok, I must admit that i've been lazy for the past two weeks, and bad old me didn't post translations because I was too busy watching the Olympics, and trying to get used to the pace of life in school. Now that I've pretty much settled in, I'll try to take some time off each night to continue translating 1N2D. No promises though. I am a real procrastinator sometimes, and I apologise for that. So now for part 1.

So the show starts as usual with KHD's roaring scream and introduction. KHD tells us that the show is finally a year old, and the guys are really happy of course. He also mentions how they are back at the location where they shot their first opening scene of the first episode. SuGuen then mentions how when he recorded that first opening, he had a girlfriend, and now he is already a daddy. *flashback to the first episode where he's talking about his girlfriend on the car * Aww, that was sweet. It really shows how the guys have changed and grown, doesn't it? Anyway, in the flashback, Ji Sang Ryul very impatiently ends SuGuen's conversation asking him not to go on, he's not curious about his (love life) at all. JiWon remembers this and tells SuGuen, and LSGuen being the joker he is, said "Ah, I'm really happy without that person (Ji Sang Ryul) here!) LOL! KHD then reveals the theme of this week's trip. No surprise, its a celebratory trip down memory lane, so they are headed back to the place that they started the whole program with. LSG then mentions how they other guys always talk about their first trip as that of to YongDong, but he, MCM and KimC have no memories of that trip because they weren't on the show then. His meaning here is to say that he hopes to create beautiful memories during this trip of course, which we will later see. So the 1N2D special episode commences.

On car
KHD: Hey, back then.. what did we do on the first episode?
*flashback* [One year ago] [The 1N2D team were hungry and had no money] [Idol Noh Hong Chyul got off] [and begins an impromptu autograph session at their rest stop] [and they are saved from starvation by the townsfolk]
KHD: I remember..
LSG (cuts in loudly): AH! I saw that!
KHD: So we are going to do the same thing again this time...
EJW: Send Seung Gi!
KHD: Lee Seung Gi, Lee Seung Gi!
LSG then said something that made me choke on my laughter. He's so bluntly honest sometimes. And I must say that the exclamation marks the editors added in made me flip even more.
LSG: Hyung, but you know, for me, when I hear things like that (how high his popularity is) I will say Ah~~ No. But (secretly) inside, I feel really happy? Honestly. Honestly. But that became a burden from then. Like what if I don't get 1st? Or if my popularity is no longer 1st? If the popularity fades, I'll feel really uneasy you know? (He means to say that his popularity, or the possible lack of evokes a very uneasy feeling.)
[His inner worries]
KHD: Lee Seung Gi has now Korea's typhoon popularity (He's saying that LSG's popularity is taking over korea like a typhoon)
LSG: Ah, right! I know!
[EMPEROR]
Everyone cracks up. Ok, so we only see KHD cracking up
LSG: I know, and I'm really thankful for all of this, but it's a burden! This popularity, the popularity is not yet a typhoon! (aww, how humble. but your popularity IS sky high these days!) Really!
[What exactly is he doing, being humble or boastful...?] Haha, he's accepted his fame all right, but wants more But I guess the sudden surge in his popularity must trouble him sometimes. Ahh. How does he remain so adorable in situations like this?
KHD: But anyway, how long do you think Seung Gi's popularity will last? From my point of view, I think it will last 10 years.
EJW: 10 YEARS!
LSG: Ah really?
KHD: If Lee Seung Gi doesn't grow out of his personality (note here i think there is a double connotation to his words. He can mean on one hand "if LSG doesn't lose his real personality" or "if LSG doesn't outgrow his personality/image as a younger brother") If you don't grow out of it, I think your popularity will continue.
LSG cracks up at this. Cute
LSG: Ah, I'll be soo happy if my popularity is sustained for 10 years. I'll be so happy if i can do everything! (referring to being a multi faceted entertainer) Alone!
EJW: He's getting agitated again! (er, remember the ride he had with Jiwon and how he flared up for a moment at the beeping sound? Same word is being used here, Ook, meaning to get agitated)
LSG: Everything! (I want to) SWEEP EVERYTHING (that I can do into the bag). SWEEP IT ALL! Until there's no rival, no competitor or whatsoever in my work! (and his expression is soooo funny and cute here, with that hand gesture to suppress his supposed rivals. Ahhhh our boy is competitive under that gentle appearance isn't he?)
[Agitated Emperor]
KHD: You'll make sure there's no one else?
LSG: I'll do everything (related to entertainment) myself! I'll be so happy if it lasts 10 years. And then I'll retire from the stage!
They then finally reach the rest stop.
KHD: Everyone. This is the man amongst us, he's like the Fedor of combative sport, our Lee Seung Gi! Here, we are finally down to this. Last year, our Noh Hong Chyul held a signing here. Our 1N2D rating's leader.The owner. The brain. Our Lee Seung Gi, what kind of a result will he bring? Lee Seung Gi!
LSG: Yea?
KHD: DoChon! (err, it means challenge. I know they like to say it, like how they like to say fighting, but i have no idea why. haha)
Everyone cheers him on, and he feels really stressed.
Eun Cho Ding makes a comment that I can't catch, which makes LSG agitated again, LOL.

Seung Gi finally goes outside, and asks the audience to cheer (as usual). He flashes a smile and thumbs up to the guys in the car, and the guys are happy with the reaction LSG is getting from the people. Captions are hilarious. Seung gi's captions go [The length (of the line of the crowd) is okay right?] Eh, that was a big understatement! Seung Gi heads off to the table to start signing, and the crowd RUNS to form a line. Notice how the first few in line are not teenage girls, but BOYS? I'm finally believing that his popularity stretches to the male population too, and not just us fangirls. heehee. A really long line forms and we get a flashback to contrast the situation to NHC, who was so happy he got A lady to sign. He signs for some cute little boys (I assume they are much younger than me ) and one of them hands LSG a sandwich.
LSG: YAH!!! Sandwich! Is it really ok to give me this?
Of course it is. The boy replies excitedly to LSG, while the guys in the car look on. KHD notices the sandwich with his sharp eagle eyes. LSGuen pops his hand out to ask for the food, but Seung Gi doesn't see. And we get another contrast of situations, flashback to when NHC runs over to his hungry brothers in the car and gives them the precious food he's earned. The guys try calling for Seung Gi. But he doesn't hear, of course.
[Call for him... / and he doesn't look over]
LSGuen Caption [In that case...]
[Immediate takeaway!]
[When the situation calls for it / He is speedy with his bare feet!] LOL, I didn't even notice LSguen was barefooted until i saw the captions. The guys in the car are thrilled of course, and all begin to pig out. I love how LSG just laughs LSGuen's actions off. He looked so good natured doing that. LSGuen sprints out of the car again for a second helping. Back on the car he gives the guys an idea of the situation outside.
LSGuen: I can't see an end (to the line)!
Meanwhile, LSG gets some food from a cute little girl.
LSG: Is it ok to give me this? (eh, he repeats this like thrice to the little girl) Ah~~ Thank you!! Kiss! Kiss!
And he gives a kiss to the little girl. Ah~~~ So sweet! I like guys who have a soft spot for kids. Kids are the BEST!! Meanwhile in the car the guys are finally feeling some guilt
KHD: I feel sorry towards Seung Gi.
Well, they continue to pig out. Like REALLY pig out. I wish I could try those snacks too! Seung Gi continues to sign for people of all ages.
LSGuen: Seung Gi yah, stop (signing)! I'm stuffed! Seung Gi yah, stop it! I'm really full!
LOL. While The guys continue to munch on their snacks, LSGuen gets a surprise looking out of the window. Back to the table where Seung Gi is signing, we see a long haired girl in queue.
Girl: Hi!! (turns to the guy behind her) Oh, what should I do? I'm shaking! (Back to Seung Gi) I'm SuGuen oppa's cody (co-ordinator).
LSG: Eh? SuGuen hyung's cody? (he looks really surprised. I wonder if he believed it)
Back on the car. SuGuen sees his cody and gets all indignant.
LSGuen: Ah really, if there wasn't me, they wouldn't be together (on the show) too...!
KimC: Who's that?
LSGuen: Its my cody!
KimC: Really?
[This time its SuGuen's cody / She leaves her artiste she's helping alone, to go get Seung Gi's autograph!] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
LSGeun: Ah, this is really..
KimC: What's this (situation) man??
With that, Seung Gi finally gets over and done with the signing, and the guys get out to thank the people for their help.
Back on the car, KHD: Ahh.. Lee Seung Gi, you are indeed something!
LSG: But when all our members came out, the screams were deafening!

How to Play?

1. Put your music player on shuffle.

2. Press forward for each question.

3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. No cheating.

4. With the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

5. Tag 5 people.

How are you feeling today? Whatever they say, DBSK.

Yea, whatever they say, I will just listen and ignore. They know nothing if how things work between us, and it will remain that way. Whatever they say, as long as I know its not happening, its not.

Will you get far in life? 미안해요 (Sorry), 거미Feat T.O.P

Oh man. Sorry. Does that mean I won't? But sorry. I have plans for my future.

How do your friends see you? 고백 (Confession), 이승기

Alrrrright. So I DO make candid confessions a lot of the time. Nice one :P

Will you get married? 화분 (Flowerpot), 알렉스

This is such a romantic song. "I pray all the time/ I want to become a flowerpot on his windowsill/ Even if i can't say anything or receive anything/ From time to time I'll see his smile and feel his touch/ Just look at his sleeping face" And that's how marriage should be. To feel love that's always subtly there.

What is your best friend’s theme song? 제발 (Please), 이승기

Hmm. Interesting choice.

What is the story of your life? 내 여자라니까 (Because she's my girl), 이승기

Haha. Yes, I was blown away by this song the first time I heard it, and 이승기 became the only one I want to hear all the time. But if that's the story of my life, does that mean I'm gonna marry a younger guy? 동생? LOL.

What was high school like? Dangerous Mind, DBSK

Hmm. I suppose so. I was highly emotional during those times when the hormones were running havoc :D

What’s in store for this weekend? 아디오 (Audio), 이승기

Well, this one is surprisingly accurate. I AM gonna do some audio stuff over the weekend. Singing, recording and playing around with my lovely mac.

How’s your life going? Island, 신혜성

My life is an Island? Well. Hmm.

How can you get ahead in life? One to ten, Seven

Ok. So is this a sign that I should start concentrating on my figures (aka stats!) to get better results and ace my psychology modules? Nice one.

What’s the best thing about your friends? 긴 하루 (Long day), 이승기

At the end of a long day, I know my friends will be there for me. They always are, in the end. I love my friends.

What song will they play at your funeral? 하기 힘든 말 (Words that are hard to say), 이승기

Well. This is the first LSG song I listened to. Very fitting, words that are hard to say. "Don't be sorry, Don't regret" is my favourite verse in there.

How does the world see you? One, DBSK

Yes, I'm one, the only one of myself. Glad the world sees my unique side :P

Will you have a happy life? Miss Understand, Alex

Will I?

Do people secretly lust after you? 너마저 (Even you), Rain

The lyrics say it all.
Nomajyo (Even you)
translation by: Goro-chan (also credit: aheeyah.com)

I couldn't end it, I was too cowardly
If I see you crying it'll make me feel blank Woo~
I couldn't say I was pulling out and have you listen
I couldn't talk to you as from anger more anger grew

Even you are lost, Hoo
If it is so hard on you, Woo~
You lived thinking that you could get happiness from me

Why has this happened?
When did things turn this way? ~
Sometime when I'm happy I'll phone and ask to speak to you

If you are happy, really happy
I would have done anything, but now what?

How can you make yourself happy? 고해 (Confession), 이승기

Its true. I'm happy only when I get things off my chest.

What should you do with your life? My Love, J Walk Feat Eun Ji Won

Yes. Just follow my love. And look for it.

Will you ever have children? 단 한사람 (The only person)

With the only one person I love? Let's hope the day arrives soon.

What song would you strip to? You're my Everything, Seven

WOW. LIke thanks. Its at least appropriate. But still, stripping is not my thing :D

What does your mum think of you? I just wanna be, Seven

I just wanna be free of worrying for her? Parents are always worrying, and it will never end. This, is kinship.

What is your deep, dark secret? 我要快乐, 张惠妹

How true. He left a scar on me, and now I'm afraid to love.

What is your mortal enemy’s theme song? 그래도...사랑이다 (Even so... I love you)

How nice! Even though he's my mortal enemy, he still loves me. It sounds like some Kdrama.

What song will be played at your wedding? Beautiful life, MC Mong Feat Big Mama
YESSSSSSSH. What a beautiful life.

080803 1 Night 2 Days

2008-08-04T22:55:00.000-07:00

Quick update: I've finally completed the subs for last week's episode, so that's that. Here's for this week's episode. I'll usually post the stuff on soompi and then compile it on my blog a few days later, so if you want the latest stuff, just pop directly over to LSG's soompi thread. Also, I won't be able to do as detailed translations as I am doing now because school starts next week, and I have a hectic semester ahead, so I will be posting summaries and maybe some transcripts of the funnier dialogues depending on how much time I have to work on 1박2일every week. Thanks for swinging by!

This week's 1N2D. The scene where LSG and EJW plays Wii is hilarious! It made me laugh over and over again, they were soooo serious playing the game! Here's the first part to this week's stuff.

We first get a refresher of last week's happenings. Then the real action kicks in.

[Meanwhile, the ones who have gotten the 1,000,000 allowance / Suguen.Mong combination]
LSGuen: Oh, there's something wrong with the aircon?
EJW laughs merrily at his plight.
[The car that has a malfunctioning aircon!]
LSGuen: Hey our aircon doesn't work!
EJW: Hahaha! Their aircon doesn't work! Really! hahahaha!
[But its impossible to send the aircon for repair now!]
MCM: Hyung, let's just hurry up and set off. I feel really not now!
[They will just set off]
LSGuen: We have to close all the windows.
MCM: Why?
LSGuen: Because of the noise..
[Because of the ambient noise]
[They have to close the windows...]
[But]
LSGuen: I really cannot tolerate it!
[Who cares about the filming / I have to survive first!]
LSGuen: Let's tell a long story! (as in like, lies, they mean tall story, i think)
MCM: SuGuen hyung, aren't you tired?!
LSGuen: I'm not tired at all! Don't worry.. Ah! Its so cool!
[the audio recording is bad]
[they are shouting and yelling to carry out a conversation]
MCM: If you open the windows, people can see your face!
LSGuen: Its ok, its night now!
[But at this time!]
[the car's lighting disappears!]
LSGuen: Its the end of our filming now!

On the other hand, we see Seung Gi and Jiwon
[Seeking assistance from their friends, Seung Gi.Ji Won team]
EJW: Hello? Yea. Where are you? Come over here, quickly! I'm hanging up.
LSG: Hyung, isn't your friend filming/recording too (as in like recording for a program)
EJW: Nah, he isn't. (on the phone) Come over, quickly!
[calls for assistance from his friend who isn't filming?]
LSG: No, he's recording/filming so he's not coming out, hyung.
[Even so]
EJW: He hates recording/filming...!
[Who by chance is it?]
[The friend who hates recording/filming]
EJW: He's Mr Typhoon!
[JiWon's friend Mr Typhoon] (i'll call him MTY)
MTY: Yes, I'm Mr Typhoon.
EJW: He's a singer, singer.
Enter Jiwon's adios. He's the guy who did the rap in the second verse for jiwon.
[Without any notice]
EJW: Do you have any money on you? (note, Jiwon says this really really casually, which makes it really funny)
[Confused friend who hates recording/filming]
EJW: Do you see our tees? They're pretty aren't they?
[Goes to his friend's house without notice!]
[But its considerably late]
[They can't do as they please]
LSG: Its really late now, and my parents in. If not, my house is just across the street. Shall we just ask for help there? (meaning they can just pop over)
EJW: Your house? You left your house to come here?
[But seung gi's parents are home sleeping too]
LSG: I could go over to my house to ask for help..
EJW: We'll go to my house! My house! End of story!
[In this case, JiWon lives alone in his house?]
[They eat at their friend's house]
[They don't have enough bedding and pillows so Seung Gi goes to his house...]
[1N2D goes to Eun Ji Won's house]

Back at KHD and KimC's car, KimC is driving, and they meet up with an interesting guy.
KHD: Yah, look, there's someone riding on a bicycle alone!
[Pedalling hard, a lone man]
KHD: He has a tent with him at the back.. let's stop and talk to him.
KimC: Stop and talk to him?
They get off the car and stop the guy.
KHD: Here, ONE NIGHT!!
Guy: 2DAYS!
KHD: Hahaha, he's shocked by us. (looking through the guy's stuff) You're alone and prepared drinks too, are you going somewhere?
[Going on a penniless trip alone)
Guy: Yes, i'm setting off today.
KHD: Where are you going? On your bike..
Guy: I'm going to Naksan beach.
KHD: Where did you set off from then?
Guy: I started from Namyangju..
KHD: You started from Namyangju and you are going to Naksan?
[Its a 200km ride!]
Guy: Ah, I'm also doing this for the first time.
KHD: You're saying now that its your first time going on a trip like this?
[His first long distance challenge]
Guy: I'm still only 20 now..
KHD: Why are you doing this? Why?
[His reason?]
Guy: Well, just.. Honestly, there's no other reason, I just wanted to look at the sea.
[it may be something insignificant to others but]
Guy: And I want to think about entering army and also my future. Also what I want to accomplish (WOW, what a mature 20 year old!!)
[What he wants to accomplish...]
KHD: So what's this?
[At the back is his small house, tent.undergarments]
Guy: Ah, this? This is my sleeping bag (i think he says that, not too sure)
KHD: So you are sleeping alone?
Guys: And there's clothes in there too.
KimC: Hey, that's similar to us. We have a tent, and nothing else too. No money and nothing to eat...
KHD: Yea, thats true
Guy: I came alone with 10,000won (think that's what he said)
[The small amount of 10,000won to get to Naksan?]
KimC: Oh, that's too much.. (as in its overboard, not that the money is alot.
[Compared with 1N2D, his fate seems even worse, with his budget]
KHD: You are going on a week's holiday with 10,000 won?? Yah, this person is really something. Alone, on his bicycle. People might mistake him for a robber..
[Robber?] [Budget trip?]
KHD: We are getting too comfortable on 1N2D! 1N2D, give us some hardships! Some new hardship! (LOL!)
[Thanks for the precious suggestion] --->ooh, love those editors!
KimC: No but...
KHD: Give us some hardships! Get rid of the car or something!
He proceeds to give the guy a piggy back.
KHD: I want/wish to carry him. Well done, well done, well done! My boy, my boy, my boy! Juyong yah, Juyong yah, Juyong yah! (can we see that KHD is ALL READY to become a daddy? )
[fighting for each of theor trips!]
KimC: Let's wish ourselves well for our respective trips.
KHD: One, two, three! FIGHTING!
The guy prepares to set off and KHD gets him to shout the show's name from his bike. So funny, KHD was like "Start! Ok, stop! There!" And the guy shouts 1N2D!~ LOL.

[At this time, JiWon and Seung Gi]
[ . . . ]
[They are playing well]
Wow, those biceps. Looks like the two boys have a competitive streak in them!

[Meanwhile, Sugeun and Mong]
[Put up at a hotel]
LSGuen: Ah, this is nice.
MCM: Hyung! Go wash up first!
LSGuen: I DON'T WANT TO!! You go wash up first!
MCM: Then let's wash up together.
LSGuen: Together? Oh, really?
MCM: Ohhh.. (pushes LSGuen coyly) Go wash up first!
LSGuen: Shall I do that? Ah, this is really nice.. and there are things to eat too...
MCM: If you are a man go wash up first! Ah, I'm really vexed! (LOL, MCM is trying to act like the wife here, soooo funny!)
[A while later]
[Having their private talk together, the uncle and joker] ---> HAHAHAHAHA!!!
[Mong finishes washing up and leaves first]
LSGuen: Ah, I washed well. Hey, switch off the camera then go out! HEY! Turn the camera off before you go out!!!
[What is he to do / How is he going to get over this difficulty...]
LSGuen then tries to climb out of the tub to turn off the camera without flashing his family jewels for the rest of the world to see. He kinda reminds me of Sadako here, like how she climbs out of the TV. But of course, he isnt creepy, and is actually very funny. They start playing Mong's song.
[I'm really going crazy, I'm really going crazy, I'm really going crazy, because of MONG, crazy, I'm really going crazy, I'm really going crazy]
[MONG AH..!!!!]

[At this time in JiWon's house / They are now preparing to sleep]
[Sueng Gi's bedding]
EJW: Where did my ... go? (i can't hear what he was mumbling about, sorry!)
LSG: You can just sleep like this... (stares at EJW and the cute little exclaimation mark pops out again) Hyung, is that new? The pants? Hahaha..
EJW: Yea.
LSG: The tag is still on it, let me help you take it off!
EJW: Ahh... don't take it off! If you take it off, it won't feel new!
LSG: Hahaha... Ah, whoever looks at it will know its new, hyung!
I love the way the boy laughs. Call me fangirl but I don't care. His laugh is adorable.
EJW: Ah.. really. (walks over to Seung Gi)
LSG: Are those shorts or panties, hyung?
EJW: These are swimming pants!
LSG: Really?
[Swimming pants!!]
[Wearing swimming shorts to sleep at home / JiWon...]
OMGoodness, I laughed my head off at this. Its so random!! Swimming pants to sleep? JiWon, are you going swimming in your dreams??

Meanwhile, KimC and KHD are still having problems of their own.
KHD: So where are we sleeping?
[The time is now early dawn, 4am]
KimC: Anywhere we go to (set up the tent) seems awkward..
[There's nothing beside the roads / and dawn is slowly breaking...]

Hodong starts talking about how on the internet, he's seen articles talking about people putting up at the national universities on their trips.

KIMC: National (government established) universities? There's a national university here..
KHD: Where's that?
KIMC: KangWon university is a national university... We'll set up our base camp at KangWon University?
KHD: Its the safest place to go, from the site I saw in the past...
KimC: Are you sure about this?

KHD: Let's set up our base camp here. Right here in the centre! Then we can feel the campus the best!
KimC: You want to set up the tent here on the flat (and hard!) concrete and sleep?
KHD: This way you can feel the spirit of the campus!
KimC: Hyung, its alright now, but just you wait till a while later. Later when the sun comes out, without the shade of the trees, it'll be the end of us!

[and so...]
[they make a compromise, beneath the trees+concrete]
KHD: Are you going to set up the camera here?
KimC: When we are sleeping?
KHD: Are you going to do so? When we are sleeping? I don't know.. So we'll just sleep?
KimC: Sleep.
KHD: Sleep?
KimC: Let's sleep.
KHD: Just like this?
KimC: Just sleep, we have to go later.
[Tomorrow... no, today's itinerary has them worried]
[So the elders are resting their exhausted bodies but]
HoDong gets up.
[Its hot...]
So does KimC
[Me too...]

Meanwhile at Suguen and Mong's
[The time now is 7.00am / Still in dreamland, Sugeun.Mong combination]
Mong's 'I'm going crazy' song rings. LOL, I think I should consider setting that as my alarm ringtone too, in place of Adios. That's how I feel waking up, "I'm going crazy" and "Why baby why!" do i have to wake up. HAHAHA. but that's me.
[Even though they should get up quickly]
MCM: AH MOSQUITOES~!!
[Because of the mosquitoes, Mong wakes up]
LSGuen: Ah... I'm really going crazy! I got bitten by the mozzies 3000 times! 3000 times!
MCM: I got bitten 4000 times!
LSGuen: There are really many mozzies here!
[He couldn't sleep at night because of the mozzies]
[Why are there so many mozzies here...]
[The two people left the door open!]
[And there's no mosquito net! (to keep the mozzies out)]
SuGuen then makes an amazing discovery
LSGuen: Woah! Yah, I found something! Mong ah! Yah, look at this here. "Mosquito blood. Let's go close the door".
[Someone wrote on the wall]
[Mosquito blood! Let's go close the door. 2005/04/09]
[The two people who are frightfully out of luck]

[Its raining in ChunChon]
[The tent is hot, with the sound of the rain]
[and their shoes are without their owners and getting drenched]
[after quickly gathering the shoes]
DaeJu (the writer): Just let them sleep?
[Excuse me...]
[Please wake up...]
[This is enough...]
[Ah... this is tiring / waking them up...]
[after a night on concrete/ their spirits are suffering]
[One by one they wake up with the rain to welcome them]
KHD: This is really the time of the day where I feel like sleeping the most, in the tent, with the rain falling outside. The sound of the rain, dadadadada...That sounds is really nice!
DaeJu: Ah, the sound of the rain.
KHD: OHHH! That sound is nice, really like it a lot!The sound of the rain..
[Romantic guy?] ---> HAHAHAHA!! I LOVE these captions.
[A while later]
[Romantic guy...]
[Rests his head on the pot for cooking rice]
[Blocks his face] (the arrow pointing to the box says "Gas stove case")
[But]
[His figure is (big) and catches the attention of other'seyes!]
Caption for guy [Isn't this Kang Ho Dong?]
[He moves the shoes in to prevent them form getting drenched]
Caption for guy [I'll go back home and tell them all about this! / Kang Ho Dong is sleeping on the roads(streets)..]
[The rain continues to fall on the campus / and the base camp is quiet and still]
[The two ajusshis (middle aged men) / What kind of dreams are they dreaming of...]

Then we move over to MCM+LSGuen's car.
MCM: I made this up. Do you find it strange?
LSGuen: I like it!
MCM: Yes, I think its really nice too. I made this tune myself.
[He made up the tune?]
[A while later]
MCM: I made some lyrics to the song we were singing 5 minutes ago.
[He made it up in 5 mins / Mong's song]
[The theme is friendship!]
MCM starts singing the song, and its all about friendship. Captions for LSGuen here [The song is pretty nice?]
[It matches the theme of this trip perfectly!]
[A song of friendship for their friends, Mong and SuGuen]
[But this song]
[is the prelude to the start of a dramatic tragedy]
[That no one could have thought of]
LSGuen: Mong yah, should hyung contribute a little to this too?
MCM: Contribute what?~~
LSGuen: Ah, I should contribute too, we should collaborate on the lyrics and work on it.
MCM: No, there are cameras here and they caught it on tape, me writing the lyrics on my handphone! The camera caught it all!
[I did the composition and lyrics all by myself, why!]
LSGuen: Ah, we should say we did it together...
[I gave you the inspiration!]
MCM: What's this? (Caption says [I don't want~])
LSGuen: Is that friendship! You wrote that you like me and I wrote that I like you too... I don't care, you have to put in my name, no matter what. No matter what you have to! Hey, that's friendship!
MCM: WHY IS THAT FRIENDSHIP!
LSGuen: Don't you remember the past? (he starts singing the song he, MCM and Jiwon made up in one of the really early episodes) When we did that we put (all our names?) in there too!! MCM, hyung is always doing things for you!
[I PUT YOUR NAME IN!]
The editors also put in a caption here for Mong, which says [Even so, I don't want to!] HAHAHA.
MCM: No, but.. (Suguen cuts in)
LSGuen: No matter who looks at it, I'm still the one making the most efforts! Look!
MCM: No, what kind of friendship trip is this..! Honestly!
LSGuen: What kind of friendship trip is this? Yah.. aren't you too much?
[Eventually they dig up their grudges and fight about it]
They really do start quarreling. Its a bit messy to write out their whole fight, so I'll just pick out some stuff they said.
LSGuen: You are doing this because of ONE SONG?
MCM: I actually wanted to go with Seung Gi.. (haha, this made me smile biggrin.gif
Enter s slow ballad song and some hilarious captions.
[Friendship clinic / Love and War]
[Not too long ago the two people were so happy]
[Like this a few hours ago too]
[They were so chummy...]
[Now a crack in their friendship]
LSGuen: Ah, really, I can't put up with you. Get off! You get off!
MCM: Why should I?
LSGuen: That's funny, really. (he means to say, funny, of course you should get off)
MCM: You're funny, then YOu get off!
LSGuen: Why should I get off! The person driving the car is me! Wah... Is this friendship?
[Love and War / the friendship that is thin as paper]
MCM: Does that even make sense? Friendship trip, its all futile!
[We'll see four minutes later...]

LSG: JiWon hyung, we should hurry up!
EJW: Huh?
LSG: We should hurry up... (muttering to himself) ah, really
[Meanwhile they get their couple tee shirts]
[And go towards the resting area, JiWon and Seung Gi]
[What exactly are they planning to do?]
[In no time, a crowd has gathered] ---> haha, do you realise that its a crowd of WOMEN that has gathered? LOL, these two kids sure are women magnets.
LSG: Oh, hello, hello! You know I'm from 1N2D right?
Women: YEA~~~~
LSG: If you've watched 1N2D, as you know, we have nothing to eat! And so, you see the couple tees that Jiwon hyung are wearing? We have a lot of these couple tees! And because we have a lot of them, we hope that you will exchange them for food with us! Anyone who's interested in exchanging, please come here!
[they have the intention of exchanging couple tees for food to eat!]
[and the conclusion is...?]
[A BIG SUCCESS]
LSG+EJW: Wait a moment, wait a moment! Please get into a line!
[And they even]
[have hot Udong served to them!]
[Jiwon immediately tucks into the food first]
[Beside him, busy exchanging clothes till he has no mind for anything else]
[And Jiwon is...?]
EJW: Ah, I'm... Because its (cooked in) water, and it'll get soggy.. (trying to excuse yourself from work huh, Jiwonnie? LOL, he really has an IQ of 160, how brilliant to think of the noodles will get soggy excuse!)
LSG: Ah HYUNG! Its no time to eat now!
EJW: Aiee, I have to eat this fast so that it doesn't get soggy!
[and their bartering is a success]
LSG: Wow, thank you, thank you!
[They've accumulated a heap full of things to eat!]
EJW: This is totally the best, the best!
LSG: Thank you!
[They leave unhurriedly with their full box / The best profit making combi(nation)!]
[They first get on the staff's bus]
LSG: There's really a lot inside! Ah, dokpokki (spicy fried rice cakes, yum!!)
EJW: There's even dokpokki?
LSG: I really didn't know the teeshirts were going to be such a big hit.
EJW: (to the staff) Do you want to eat? We can give you something to eat, really. We have a lot (of food). For the hardships of our writer, (here's an) onion (for you)!
[For his sufferings, the writer gets an onion?]
LSG: And here's some kimbab! (kimbab = stuffed seaweed rice rolls. its similar to sushi, but of course, the koreans keep protesting that its different altogether. *shrugs*)
EJW: Here, have some kimbab to eat too.
LSG: Our hyungs... how are they doing?
EJW: Our hyungs?
[They are fighting]
Enter MCM and LSGuen who are quarreling. I won't attempt to translate their quarrel, its just too much, LOL. But the stuff they fought over was soooo trivial, and it made the whole thing so funny!
[Love and War / Paper thin friendship, the sound of their quarrels]
[None of them have a strong foothold and they just sling mud at each other]
[They are just the the midst of complaining to their own audience]
LSGuen starts ranting about MCM, and he said "To MCM's girlfriend, MCM just won't do!"
[This time to the girlfriend?]
And they continue quarelling when the PD asks them over the walkie talkie what they have done to their money.
[Again. Again. Again... QUARRELING]

[Meanwhile over at Hodong's]
[They are having an outdoors ramyeon brunch]
KHD: Here. Everyone, now we are eating the first thing in the whole day. We are eating our breakfast now.
[They have eaten 0kcal since their ginseng chicken yesterday]
[It is a flavour that feels them with emotions!] LOL@ the editors again.
[It was really hard getting the ramyeon]
Flashback to the two guys holding a picture of noodles
[Today at 8am]
[They hallucinate because of their empty stomachs]

Its late. Back with more later!

Double LSG's exciting trip
Flashback to last week's episode, and we refresh our memory on what has happened so far.
[Last week]
[The family of 4 got to go on a trip]
[6-4=2]
[the dropouts]
[Not a single cent on them, Seung Gi and Su Guen]
[Radio]
[Television]
[On familiar territory / they earn their train fees in a heartbreaking manner] ---> LOL!!
[Will the two guys / arrive at the base camp]
[Safely in one piece to meet the others?]
Staff: Here's your pay.
LSG: Thank you! Thank you!

[The bus has already left]
[Making use of the trains, the struggling team]
LSG: Hello.
Staff: Hello. Where are you headed to?
LSG: I.. Namwon!
[To get to Namwon]
[they should take the 6:18pm Saemaeul train]
LSG: Yes. Thanks!
LSGuen: Ok! (sings) Let's go on a vacation!
[Finally obtaining the train tickets after much difficulty]
LSGuen: How long will we take to get to Namwon? An hour and 20 minutes? We should call to ask..
[Calling the Namwon bus terminal]
Phone call gets through and we hear a lady's voice.
LSG: Yes, hello! Um, Namwon... Huh?
[Its the ARS (Automatic response system?) greeting]
[He's really polite]
OMG, LOL!! I can't believe he can't tell the difference between a recording and a real voice. So adorably dorky!
[This time, a phone call to the staff at Namwon]
LSG: Hi, I'm sorry, if we get down at Namwon and go to Changsoo, how much time will it take? 40 minutes? What time does the cross-country bus arrive?
[From Namwon to Changsoo / There's a cross-country bus available]
LSG: You mean to say there's no bus there?
[THERE'S NO BUS?]
[again their way looks desolate]
LSGuen: Oh really.. I'm going crazy.. Hey there's no transport service there and the bus will take 50 minutes..
[The train will reach Namwon at 10]
[And the bus will take 50 minutes to arrive at Namwon]
LSG: The bus will take 50 minutes..
LSGuen: Ah.. this is really..
[They can't walk there]
LSGuen: They're not coming for us? The other guys..
[They try calling HoDong]
LSGuen: Let's try calling HoDong Hyung..
[But]
LSGuen: He's not picking up!
[At this time, Ho Dong and party]
[Have TOTALLY forgotten about the two people]
[They are full of content in their utter bliss playing with water]
EJW: I'm an OTTER~
[there's no anticipation (for the two left behind) in this party of people]

[The train headed towards Namwon arrives]
LSGuen: All right, let's go! As we set off, please look at us once!
[They have no choice but to set off]
[They get over their sense of alienation and go off with spirit]
LSG: We'll get there and look for the water, we'll see the water. (Not too sure if that's what he's saying) Fighting!
Aw, then the two guys hug. Their brotherly love still makes me grin wide. So sweet!
[Time now is PM 06:18)
[They're going to Namwon now!]

Enter cute polaroid of Seung Gi. [Seoul] [6:18pm, setting off to Yeongduengpo] [Suwon] [Our legs hurt T.T] [In the midst of reading..] [Talking to his wife] [Dooly Seung Gi] [Zzz..] [We reach Namwon at 9:52pm] [60km to Changsu)

[Meanwhile]
[Family of four are having a barbeque party]
KHD: Wow this is great! Yah...
[This is locally bred pork]
[The vegetables that are eaten together with the meat / are all here]
MCM: Its a snail, a snail. (picks it up) Sorry for waking you up~ (LOL!!)

Back at the station..
[Barely made it to Namwon, Suguen's party]
LSGuen: What do we do now?
LSG: We'll go eat when we get hungry..
LSGuen: No, our members, they are not people like this. (Are you sure? they're having a blast without you guys, hahaha!)
[He still doesn't believe the situation they are in, Su Guen]
LSG: Yea, they are good friends..
LSGuen: I believe in them, when we reach, they will all be there welcoming us like this "YO, FELLA!!!~"
[The others will all come to recieve and welcome them ...?]
[They've eaten delicious food the whole day]
[Their thoughts haven't strayed away once from having fun]
[Indeed they are heartless?]

[Beside the station]
LSGuen: Hodong hyung! Mong ah! KimC hyung!
[There's nothing at all!]
LSGuen: Is that them there? The car, the car? The white one!
[But]
LSG: Ah hyung, wake up, why are you always like that? (LOL, looks like the boy's faith in his brothers isnt too strong after all)
LSGuen: Isn't that Yong Jin with Hoon Suk (MCM's manager)? Manager...
LSG: Ah, really?
LSGuen: Yea. Hey, it really is them!
And the two of them start sprinting off. I can imagine how they felt. No money, no food, dark at night, not sure where they will end up next. Poor boys, no wonder they were so enthusiastic.
LSGuen: Ah, it isn't them.. sorry! I thought you were our manager, so sorry!
LSG: This is really hopeless, there aren't even taxis here.
[They call Mong]
LSGuen: We're just here.. just come for us.. just here... (keeps muttering)
[Suddenly asking Mong who doesn't even know where Namwon station is]
LSG: Where are they? The car?
[They should already have reached by now]
LSGuen: We're just here, just here at..
LSG: Oh oh oh oh oh! They're here, they're here!
LSGuen: They're here?
LSG: Do you see us? Can you see (us)? Can you see (us)? Here, beside..
[They are really here!]
[Actually they already set off beforehand (to get the guys)]

MCM: Where are you!
LSG: Oh you are here, you are here! Sound your horn, sound the horn! The horn!
MCM: The horn? [presses on the horn]
[The headlights shine] SuGuen starts crying, not sure for real or not, but its really funny!
LSG: That isn't them? It isn't?
They look around in helplessness. Then their ray of hope appears!
LSG/LSguen: They're THERE!
And the two boys start sprinting off.
MCM: They're there, they're there! SEUNG GI YAHHHHH~
EJW: SEUNG GI YAHHHHH~
[The four people meet again]
[They are out of their minds with delight]
I liked this scene a lot. So sweet, funny, cute and touching
EJW: DADDY~ DADDY~ SEUNG GI YAH~ (hugs Seung gi, LOL!!) DADDY! (then goes over to Suguen daddy)
[They are happy meeting each other after a long day]
LSGuen: Now daddy is not gonna let go of the steering wheel again! I'm going to tie myself to it! I'm not letting go even if I die!
EJW asks them what they want to eat, and that's the end of this little lost in Namwon episode.
On the car
LSG: Wow hyung you've really been wishing to drive the car for the whole day huh?
LSGuen: Hahaha..
LSG: I think you nearly went off to drive the train (we were on) because you wanted to drive so badly...
HAHAHAHA!~ Nice joke
[And with this the drama for the two left behind]
[Ends]
[Not releasing his grip on the steering wheel, SuGuen]
[The hyungs that they have missed seeing... / Now on their way to meeting them...]

[Real] [Wild] [Road variety]
[And so the 6 are back in a group again...]
[Time to take a rest!]
MCM: Look at SuGuen hyung!
[The bright light illuminates him / And he makes his grand appearance]
[The star of a low rent concert]
[Camera stand]
[All the staff make up the audience!]
[In the midst of playing in the concert!]
KimC: Let's have one person (sing)!
LSG: Lee Su Guen!
[Su Guen's solo!]
[The hand controlled vibration!]

[The next repertoire?]
[The classic style of the days in the past]
[Shim Shin's '오직 하나뿐인 그대' (You Are The Only One)]
[But...]
[The key is too high]
[His neck is almost breaking in this circumstance]
LSGuen [Come help me...]
[Again leaving it to Jiwon]
And Jiwon starts screeching, hahahaha!
[Even thought its just a low down concert]
[Can't just turn this song into a joke!]
[And thus secretly]
[He changes to singing MC Mong's Circus!]
[But...]
Enter MCM, utterly expressionless. LOL!
LSGuen: (singing) When the cold wind is blowing... YES YOU!
[Joining the two songs together as if they were one!]
LSG gets up excitedly to join in.
[Is this plagiarism?] ----> HAHAHAHA!~ LOVE the editors, I really do!
MCM starts looking really amused by their enthusiastic impromptu of his song.
[Its just the same melody!]
KHD [Its exactly the same...]
Jiwon then picks up the fan and treats it as a mike!!
[They do the rap again]
KHD: Yah, Shim Shin dooly, Shim Shin dooly!
[Shim Shin Dooly!]
[We must have the Dooly in the concert no matter what...]
KimC: Isn't it copying?
MCM: Ahh, the chords are the same, that's why..
[Its no more than the chords being similar!]

[Its now time to sleep]
[Something to announce before sleep!]
PD: The time you have to wake up tomorrow is 7:50am. Tomorrow morning... the first thing on our itinerary is that we will hold a harmonious family health marathon (So sorry, there's just no english equivalent for this. It just means they are doing a marathon for the sake of their health, and its also dedicated to them as a big family) Yes, tomorrow morning we will have a health marathon.
KHD: ...
MCM: ... (LOL! Love the identical expressions!)
[Tomorrow]
[1 Night 2 Days will be having a marathon meet!]
[Run. Tumble. And running again ...]
[The greatest blockbuster in BokBulBok history] HAHAHA!!!
[The race enough to kill one (prematurely) and give a stomachache]
[Coming Soon] Woah, I was soooo anticipating their marathon when I saw this little clip. I love how much fun they have with the simplest things on the show. All the games and events they have are actually all really simple, but somehow they always put their hearts into it to have a great time. Love the whole concept.
PD: Tomorrow morning at the lake, on a first come first served basis, we will prepare two sets of clothes for two early risers. The two earliest risers who manage to go get the clothes and put them on will get immunity (and be the MCs for the marathon), meaning you won't have to run. The other four members will have no choice but to run in the marathon.
MCM: Then where can the clothes be found. After we wake up, where can we find the clothes?
[Where is the ... then?]
PD: The clothes for the marathon MCs..
[Here...]
[At the valley, right in the middle on the rock!]
[Even for the first person to wake up / Its going to be a difficult task getting to them...]

[After the 4 family mamber simulation]
[KimC and Seung Gi sleep in their outdoor bed]
[The remaining 4 people sleep indoors]
[And so the day grows dark...]

[Dawn breaks]
[Its drizzling in the morning...]
[It's still night here!]
[Their sleeping pose...!]
[Morning mission - The first to wake up and get to the other side of the lake to first put on the clothes prepared will get immunity for the marathon]
[If they don't want to run in the marathon they will have to hurry...]
[The two in the outdoor tent bed]
[Indeed still in dreamland!]
[Sleeping in oblivion to the world...]
[But now...]
[Beside the sleeping Seung Gi's leg...]
[Flippers and swimming goggles!]
[He's really a cautious one...!]

[Time now is 7:50am]
[The wake up song starts!]
As usual, our Seung Gi gets up first, with a great big start. Hahaha, I just love their morning expressions, so helpless and out of it
[A noisy waking up]
LSG [We should run and get to the lake quickly..]
[The heart is in a hurry...]
[DAZED~]

[Meanwhile in the room]
[What's happening, Mong is getting up first?!]
[He has completely no intention of waking...]

[Even so, the two people who have woken up]
LSG [Not going to the lake...?]
KimC [Going of course...]
[There are two sets of clothes...]
[Anyway it looks like none of the four have any intention of getting up..]
[The two people who don't have any rivals at the moment]
[Tidy up everything that they have to in a relaxed manner]
[Going out of the tent...]

[At this time...]
[SuGuen wakes!]
LSGuen [Yesterday I suffered because I was left behind...] [I might die if I run in the marathon, I don't know...]
[He heads out!]
[Coming down the stairs relaxedly, Seung Gi]
[On the other side, SuGuen]
[Seung Gi who is still unaware...]
[Sprints with all his strength!]
[Seung Gi follows suit and the foot race starts!]
[His soul was still not in place yet...]
[And the race suddenly starts!]
[KimC joins in the race and starts sprinting too!]
[Their target is the place beside the valley]

[Seung Gi reaches first]
[Holding onto the flippers, Seung Gi and...]
[Running with nothing on him, Su Guen] actually, the captions here say he's going in nude.. but he isn't, so I'll just take it to mean he has nothing on him..
[They have confirmed their target at the the river and...]
[Going in first with big strides, SuGuen!]
[But...]
[Wait a minute... / How do I go about from here...?]
[Meanwhile KimC who has also reached after running some distance]
KimC [Humans should make good use of the equipment they have...]
[He picks up a tube!] ---> why do they call the float a tube?
[Going in the water with nothing on him, SuGuen and...]
[Going in the water with the tube, KimC and...]
[In the process of trying to put on his flippers, Seung Gi!]
[Flippers] [Tube] [Nothing on body]
[Who will emerge victorious...?]
[The first 2 people will get immunity for the marathon...]
[KimC takes the plunge and goes in!]
[SuGuen who has nothing on him is at the side...]
[Calmly and slowly going past him, KimC!]
[This is the strength of his equipment!]
[Seung Gi picks up a tube too and heads off for the plunge]
[KimC touches down at the island!]
LSGuen: KimC hyung... Is it deep there?
KimC [Its deep!!]
[In actual fact it really shallow...]
[At this moment, Seung Gi]
[Finally finishes putting on his flippers...]
HAHAHA!!! I was just sputtering away laughing when I saw this. SEUNG GI YAHHHHH!!! Why are you so funny?! The water is too shallow for you to do this! I find it really amusing that he's so stuck to his flippers. Its like he's been waiting and waiting and waiting for this moment to finally use his flippers, but guess what? The flippers don't exactly serve their purpose Its amazing how I didn't choke laughing at this scene. Its SOOO classic 허당 승기!
[He's using the flippers in water that is ankle deep!]
[Ultimately he gives up]
[He gets up on his feet to walk...]
[But its difficult for him to walk because of the flippers!]
KimC: LOOK! IT'S AWFULLLY DEEP! (HAHAHA, yea right kimc! I sooo believe you!]
[SuGuen too finally decides to go get the tube...]
And we see LSG taking baby steps because of his hilarious flippers. HAHAHA!!
[A full body swimsuit?!]
[And now KimC...]
[Puts on the clothes meant for the MCs and keeps it in his possession!]
[SuGuen goes forward]
[To go get the tube...]
[And at this time Seung Gi]
[Sets off first!]
[SuGuen is one feet late...]
[Second to reach the island, Seung Gi]
[And now KimC...]
[Takes the clothes with him and flees the city!] HAHAHA! meanwhile our boy reaches the 'island'.
LSG: What's this! Where's the clothes!
[KimC's sudden move...]
[becomes Seung Gi's calamity...]
[but is a reversal and chance for SuGuen!]
[he chases after them and reaches the city...]
[and gets swept away by the water]
[he starts his struggle with the tube...!]
LSGuen: YAH!! Its shallow here, THIS (is shallow)!
[meanwhile at this time... inside the room...]

[Still in the middle of sleeping, as always!]
[Without any mishaps along the way, these three people...]
[Will have to run in the marathon no matter what!]
[Meanwhile back at the lake...]
[In no time is being chased and caught up with, KimC]
[In the situation where he doesn't know who to give (the clothes) to...]
KimC: Yah! Yah! What's this? What do I do now? Ah, I really don't know, ah... (and he flings out the clothes into the lake]
LSGuen: AHHHH!
[He throws the clothes into the lake!]
[They run off to chase after the clothes again]
[SuGuen is reaching real close...]
[But here comes Seung Gi with his strength from his powerful flippers!]
[Seung Gi gets it first but...]
[SuGuen intercepts!]
KimC: Wear it quick! Wear it!
[We come to the end and the conclusion...]
[SuGuen is the one who gets the clothes!]

[Meanwhile... / they are still in dreamland and know nothing of what is brewing for them]
[the three people who are still in deep sleep]
[And a while later...]
[Heaven ends and hell starts]
[Its a test of their endurance]
[The race from hell...]
[1D2N's Bok Bul Bok Marathon meet]
[They run...]
[They walk...]
[And there's one who falls...]
[I'm the dalrin!] ---> no idea what 달린 means.
[Trying for first place]
[The man's objective!]
[Bok Bul Bok's kannari (fish sauce) hell and...]
[Watermelon Bok Bul Bok...]
[Which athlete will take the first place?]
[Heavy breathing and]
[Sweat stains]
[Their race]
[Is starting now!]

[20 minutes before the start]
[Newscaster Lee Su Guen!]
LSGuen: To all the viewers out there, hello. My job now is to meet with the Bok Bul Bok athletes.
[Preparing to interview the athletes]
LSGuen: Now one of the athletes is by my side. First off, let's meet the
athletes from Jamaica. Ah! Soom Cha! (Ah! is just an exclaimation, while Soom cha means out of breath or can't breath properly, hahaha!! So i'll just use out of breath to refer to Jiwon's new nickname.)
[Jamaica's Out Of Breath athlete...?]
LSGuen: How are you feeling today?
Out of Breath: !@#$%^~...
LSGuen: He's not in the right mind!
[In the process of writing his name on the back] ---> the font is cute. i mean the one on the shirt. haha.
LSGuen: Well, as you see now, the marathon...
EJW: What name ... are you writing?
LSGuen: We've written your name.
[Your name... OUT OF BREATH!]
[Going on with the interview with the next athlete]
LSGuen: Let's go over to meet another athlete.
KHD: AH THE PANTS ARE TOO SMALL~!
[The athlete who screams that his pants are too small...]
['PANTS ARE TOO SMALL' athlete!]
EJW: He's an athlete from Ghana. Ghana athlete... pants are too small!
[From Ghana, PANTS ARE TOO SMALL athlete]
LSG: Pants Are Too Small's actual name is No Size! (HAHAHAHA!~ Guy is so funny Note here, Seung Gi uses the korean equivalent of no size, and when KHD talks to LSGuen about his new name 5 seconds later, he actually DOES'T use the korean words and uses the english words no size. Look's like daddy's been practising the english on the sly!~)
[Real name, NO SIZE]
[Africa Ghana's athlete's name is unique...]
LSGuen: Here we have our athlete Pants Are Too Small...
KHD: Ah, my real name is NO SIZE!
LSGuen: Then today you are going after the game ends?
Ok, here LSGuen actually says 그럼 오늘 경기 끝나고 가나? which i translated as above. I'm not really sure if (the translation) is right. But if it is, then I think LSGuen is punning on the 가나 (read as kana) part, because they were referring to KHD as an athlete from Ghana, and the word sounds like Ghana but in fact means that LSGuen is asking him if he's returning. I'm really not sure about this. I'm still not at the stage where I can appreciate fully all the literary techniques and puns used in their conversations, sorry!
[Word play, gag!] ---> which I think means pun?

KHD: 1N!~2D!~
[Finally going to set off, all the athletes]
KHD: Here. This marathon is not just a marathon.
[Today's marathon's distinctive feature]
KHD: In the middle, we will be introducing the Bok Bul Bok system to our viewers too.
[Introducing [b]Bok Bul Bok[/b] system!]
Sang Guen [Be careful...]
KHD: We will have to complete tasks like drinking water on the way. There will be water and other stuff, in accordance to the Bok Bul Bok system...
[They will have to drink water during the marathon...]
[Its not going to be just only water!]
[Half (the bottles) are water and half are Kanari...]
[And the prize for today's first athlete]

The title on the big card reads [One time immunity from sleeping outdoors]
KHD: Its immunity against sleeping outdoors for once.
[Hodong's introduction ends here...]
KHD: Finally introducing you to our newscasters for today!
Enter LSGuen and KimC with their jackets and silly drawn on ties. Oh and they call newscasters caster for some odd reason.
LSGuen: Greetings to the viewers who love us. We are bringing you live news from the Bok Bul Bok marathon. (News)caster LSGuen.
KimC: I'm (news)caster KimC.
[They will be giving the special commentaries today]
LSGuen: We will be bringing you the special commentaries today, our yibong (dunno what this is. 이봉) KimC teacher.
[yibong KimC teacher]
[Before today's game...]
KimC: Ah, I'm anticipating today's marathon, and because its exceedingly hot today, I think there's surely be some deaths (casualties). HAHAHAHA!!!
LSG keeps giggling
LSGuen: Sounds good, Bok Bul Bok marathon. Now, lets have an introduction.
[Athlete's introduction]
LSGuen: Number one! From Ghana, PANTS ARE TOO SMALL!
[Participant number 1 PANTS ARE TOO SMALL]
LSGuen: Now we have the second athlete, from Jamaica. AH, OUT OF BREATH!
[Participant number 2 AH, OUT OF BREATH]
LSGuen: And of course, we have our third participant, the body is in pain, AH, PAINFUL.
[Participant number 3 AH, PAINFUL]
LSGuen: And finally, our 4th athlete, Boy who left the water
[Now to get down to starting the race]
LSGuen: Ok, so now we shall start the race. The wonderful staff has prepared a car for us and we will go towards it and meet (the viewers) in a while. We'll take a break for a short while. Let's get to the scene!
[...?]
[They run quickly]
[And take an open car (?)]
[And now all the preparations end...]

[They will set off at the sound of the gunshot!]
[Waiting for the signal to start.]
[The two people engage in small talk in the meantime while waiting...]
KHD: Hey stop running.
LSG: Ah, we have to get ready and run fast and get back!
KHD:
LSG: Ah, I don't care.
[BANG!]
[He fires without any warning / The new PD]
[Anyway, they just set off]
[This is a marathon...]
[Sprinting at full speed!]
[At the start, running unexpectedly...]
[The first runner to turn out, OUT OF BREATH Jiwon!]
LSGuen: Ah, now our athlete Eun Ji Won is coming out first..
KimC: Ahhh.. he looks like he's overpacing himself at the start..
[It seems he's overpacing himself...]
LSGuen: Yes, my sentiments exactly, and he's in first place at the start (of the race) now.. Its 10 seconds into the race and he's running at a ridiculous pace isn't he!
[Their current rankings]
[The last athlete HoDong the PANTS ARE TOO SMALL]
[And in first place...]
[Jamaica's Jiwon OUT OF BREATH!]
[Ah... Out of breath...]
[?]

LSGuen: Our Jamaica, out of breath athlete. Out of breath seems to have a good start..
KimC: Ah out of breath athlete, he's fallen!
LSG is so cute when he goes over to pat EJW on the head, without stopping
LSGuen: Ah, his pace when setting off (is too fast)..
KimC: But look, no one is bothering to help him up!

[After setting off for only 30 seconds...]
[He throws himself on the road, Jiwon OUT OF BREATH]
[They just leave him behind and go...]

LSGuen: In first place now we have our Boy who left the water...

[In first place owing to this (Jiwon's dropping out), Seung Gi yBoy who left the water]
[However looking at their poses...]
KimC: But looking at them running now, our pants are too small athlete seems to be in bad form..

[His form has stablized, Pants Are Too Small]
[And now...]
[... athlete HoDong Pants are Too Small]
[His heart getting as strong as when he eats]
[Becomes the best in first place in a flash!]
[On the other side, athlete Mong]
LSGuen: His expression is like he has run 20km!
LSG: Its really hot! Really hot!
[Because its summer, the heat seems to be drilling into them...]
[1st place Pants are too small] [2nd place Boy who left the water [3rd place MCM... and...]
[Where's Out of Breath?]
[Spread out on the floor, JiWon Out of Breath]
[He starts running again!]
[But]
[Not for long and he starts walking....!]

EJW: Woah!~ Its REALLY TIRING!
[Like his name...]
[Ah... Out of breath...] LOL!!!
[Meanwhile the leading group]
[Their first Bok Bul Bok course will start a while later]
LSGuen: All right, in a while later our first athlete will start the Bok Bul Bok course..
KimC: Ah. our Bok Bul Bok.. Kang Ho Dong will kick start the Bok Bul Bok (course)!
[Its half water and half Kanari...]
LSGuen: Ah, he's reached, look!
[There's a 5:5 probability!]
KimC: Our pants are too small athlete!
LSGuen: What will he get, water or kanari?
[What is the bottle filled with...]
[The conclusion?]
[!!!!!]
[He gets kanari!]
LSGuen+KimC: AHHHHH!!!~~ KANARI!!
[And now...]
[Running fast behind him is Seung Gi Boy who left the water!]
[The conclusion?]
[Also Kanari!]
[He got the second consecutive Kanari!]

[Meanwhile, Mong]
KimC: Hey, what are you doing now? You can't change the bottle!
LSGuen: You can't change the bottle!!!
[He changes his mind and picks another one...]
LSGuen: You can't just change the bottle, let's see if its Kanari.
LSGuen+KimC: AHHH!! ITS KANARI!!! (look at how happy they are to see kanari. these two are really too funny for words!)
[3rd consecutive kanari!]
KimC: Ah, HAHAHAHA!! He got the kanari!
[The shock of the kanari...] ---> haha, MCM seems scarred for life by kanari, doesnt he?
[They all can't free themselves from this...]
[Continuing on his way first, Seung Gi Boy who left the water]
[He grabs the sponge after drinking the water]
[He's trying to cool himself in this hot weather]
[Finally HoDong Pants are too small athlete]
[He grabs the sponge but]
[He gets the ink sponge!]
[He hits it on the nail twice for the kanari and ink sponge!]
LSGuen: Ah, pants are too big.. first the kanari then the ink sponge, ah...
KimC: Look now, Eun Ji Won! Its Eun Ji Won's turn, what will happen next?
[Meanwhile, it has started for the Out of breath athlete...]
[oh time~ and tide~]
[He slowly goes towards starting his Bok Bul Bok spot]
[The conclusion this time?]
LSGuen: AHHH!! OVER THERE, our athlete Eun Ji Won has gotten the fourth KANARI!
[Following them like a ghost, they all get only the kanari...!]

[And now Seung Gi Boy who left the water reaches the turning point]
LSGuen: Now its his turn for the watermelons, watermelons! Let's see what our Boy who left the water will get..
[The cooling and full watermelons that have been divided into half]
[And the bogus empty watermelons that have been divided into half]
[Conclusion..?]
KimC: And when he turns it?
[The full watermelon!]
LSGuen: AHHH!!! Boy who left the water has gotten the watermelon! And he's eating it now!
[He gets some relief from the watermelon...]
[And Mong has reached too]
KimC: The smell of the kanari should be lessening now (in reference to LSG)
[The smell of the kanari is still lingering on his mouth]
[He hopes to get some relief from the watermelon but...]
[He gets the bogus empty watermelon!]
[In despondency, he just sets off]
[Next up HoDong Pants are too small]
KimC: What will our pants are too small get now?
[He prudently chooses one but...]
KimC: Pants are too small, there's no time left!
LSGuen: You have no time now!
KimC: You have to hurry up and choose one!
LSGuen: I have a question about that athlete! He looks like he's only going to stop and eat! (think he says this because KHD picks up the spoon, ready to eat even before he's picked his watermelon)
[But he gets the bogus watermelon!]
[Despondency...]

[Meanwhile JiWon Out of Breath]
[Is anyway still late...]
[He stops to slowly tie his shoelaces...]
[He's left behind by the leading group]
[And tries in vain one by one...]
[Even though he sets off after sometime]
EJW: I withdraw! I withdraw..
[His soul isn't even (inspired) to carry on for half the race...]
[but now]
[He discovers something!]
[The leading group who are coming back from the turning point!]
[Pants are too small who has chosen his watermelon]
EJW: Who are those people over there? Oh? Oh? They are coming back?
[He starts running again suddenly?]

Kim: Our out of breath really, has turned back and is playing foul..
[He plays foul...]
[In a flash, he's in 1st place!]
[Meanwhile Pants are too small who was in last place]
[Becomes in 3rd place now!]
[It looks serious...!]
LSGuen: they look serious about this now..
KimC: It is a race that concerns their pride..
[They are presently 2/3 done with the race]
[In first place, Mong]
KimC: Ah out of breath! Our out of breath who was in first place is now being overtaken by pants are too small!
[Now competing for 2nd spot...]
[Pants are too big overtakes!]
[They have to go back to the spot where the Bok Bul Bok station is...]
[And this is...?]
[Jiwon has already drunk from it just now...]
[he didn't think about it...]
[And put the kanari back on the table!]
[There's nothing more about this]
[Of course its kanari!]
[Actually for this round's Bok Bul Bok...]
[Sweet fermented rice drink vs salt water Bok Bul Bok]
[MCM gets the sweet fermented rice drink]
[And the next pants are too small...]
LSGuen+KimC: Is it fermented rice drink or salt water? Fermented rice drink or salt water??
[Until now he's gotten 100% (the nasty stuff) completely in Bok Bul Bok...]
[And this time...?]
[Salt water!]
[He has no luck right up to the end...]
[And now the group in 3rd.4th place]
[Boy who left the water gets the salt water!]

[Meanwhile at the roadside...]
[Athlete Pants are too small who has stopped]
[The impact of the salt water on him seems great!]
[Meanwhile the 2 people in the leading group...]
KimC: Boy who left the water, wow! And Mong is in first place now.
LSGuen: Ahh, its getting exciting!
[1st place Mong 2nd place Seung Gi!]
[The real test of their ability starts now...!]
KimC: Now, how will this turn out? We still don't know as of yet.
LSGuen: Our athlete pants are too small was actually in first place, but he's been fallen by the salt water!
[Fallen by the salt water...]
[He falls to the last place!]
KHD: Ahh! Its salty!
[Meanwhile]
KimC: Ah, now Yisunam, he's catching up!
[Gradually closing up the gap, Seung Gi Yisunam]
LSGuen: Ah, Yisunam has caught up!
[Neck to neck!]
[None of them makes a concession, its really a showdown of their pride!]
KimC: Yisunam has now caught up, ah!
[They are not too far away from the end line now...]
[And now...]
[Seung Gi tries to overtake!]
[And what will the conclusion be...?]
[Meanwhile Ah Out of Breath is in 3rd place]
[His legs have come loose!] ---> HAHAHAHA! OMG, they are so mean to EJW!
[At this time, Pants are too small who is in last place...]
[Starts to run again!]
[In 3rd place, Out of Breath is barely scraping along]
[He doesn't want to be in last place]
[He uses all his strength to start running!]
KHD [I'm gonna catch you...]
EJW: Drive me please! Me please!
[He started running for some reason...]
[The reason becomes clear in a moment]
KHD [Just you wait...]
[Pants are too small is closing in gradually!]
EJW [Go away!]
[The two people who don't want to be in last place...]
[This concerns a showdown of their pride!]
[Meanwhile in the leading group...]
[They keep fighting for the 1st.2nd place!]
[And now Seung Gi pulls away!]
[He drives in a gap between them in a second!]
[Athlete Seung Gi is now alone!]
[He's swinging the lead with much time to spare!]
[Mong who's i second place]
[Has used up all his energy....!]
[Seung Gi is arriving at the finishing point]
[Its almost definite that he will come in first...]
MCM [I'll just settle for 2nd place...]
[The reason for Mong's sudden running...]
[The two people who are in a critical showdown!]
[Its an intense play off for 3rd.4th place!]
[Mong who's in 2nd place is shocked by them...]
[He runs with all his might!]
[And in 1st place...]
[As anticipated, Seung Gi!]
[Mong takes 2nd place...]
[And in 3rd place...?]
[Hodong, with an intense finish!]
[In the last place at the end, Jiwon]
[Ah... Out of Breath...!]
[Did the salt water bring his downfall?]
KHD: That last stop, I thought it was water, and I just gulped it all down. I couldn't even open my eyes! I can't even see in front of me! I felt like throwing it all up then!
[He doesn't have any luck...!]

[Prize ceremony]
KHD: Today, for our marathon, in first place we have our athlete Lee Seung Gi. Let's give him a round of applause!
[He wins a one time immunity from outdoor sleeping!]
[After the game has ended...]
[They are all utterly exhuasted!]
[They just ran for a few kilometres...]
[And they all can't pull themselves together...]
[They are in serious lack of physical strength!]
[We need some kind of measure for this...]

[2 weeks later]
[At a Samgetangjip (shop that sells ginseng chicken)]
LSG: Hello!
LSGuen: Isn't this too luxury (luxurious he means) for us?
LSG: Oh hyung you are here!
[They are rather awkward...]
LSG: Hyung, don't you feel awkward?
EJW: Why?
LSG: Ah, coming here, don't you feel awkward?
EJW: Ah, its because (we are coming here at) night, that's why!
[1N2D team feels awkward and unfamiliar here]
KHD: We are together at a ginseng chicken shop...! Road variety, 1N! 2D!
LSGuen: But are you sure this really is 1N2D?
KHD: Why are we in a ginseng chicken shop?
PD: Well, we had a marathon at Changsoo last week. Looking at all of your physical strength, I think there's really a problem with it. Because you had a tiring time, as well as at Baekdusan too, we are going to give you a treat at this ginseng chicken shop today.
KHD: There are absolutely no strings attached?
PD: Yea, no strings attached. Just eat well today.
[The ginseng chicken that tastes great and is great for the body!]
EJW: Its really one (chicken) for us each?!
LSG: We should happily eat this quickly (what, is the boy afraid they will take away the food? haha!)
KHD: Feel so happy now.
KimC: Hyung you mean you don't know too?
KHD: Don't know!
KimC: Oh really, I feel more uneasy now eating so well!
LSG: Ah, where's our destination this time?
PD: After you guys eat today, we will travel 200km from Seoul, and go to Kangwondo.
KHD: If we leave now, when will we reach~ (he's playing with words here, that's why they all laugh)
KimC: Then we have to leave like now..
PD: You'll have to take the car for around 2hours..
KHD: But why are we setting off at night?
PD: Actually there's a theme for our trip today. Our theme for this trip is friendship. And because our theme today is friendship, we will have you go on the trip in pairs.
EJW: Eh? In pairs?
PD: Yea, you guys will go in pairs. Its 11pm now, and we have until lunchtime tomorrow (12pm)
LSG: What did you say? Until lunch tomorrow?

PD: Later after your dinner, you will have to write down the name of the person you wish to go on this trip with.
LSG: But what happens to the person whose name doesn't even get written one? (hahaha, his expression was so funny. obviously he had someone in mind when asking )
KHD: If there are two people whose names don't get written then they can go together.

[They start voting]
PD: Just write down the name of the person you feel closest to.
LSGuen: But I feel close to everyone...
PD: Just choose one if you feel close to everyone. And please write down your reason too. Why you want to go on a trip with this person.
KHD: What if there isn't any (one who he wants to go on a trip with)?
[No one he wants to go on a trip with?]
KHD: No, I mean, going in pairs for guys is going to be so awkward!
PD: Its alright..
EJW: Ah, but I think it will be uninteresting. We can write all we want, but what can two people do!!

[Counting the votes]
Its time to declare the votes and KHD is very apparently nervous.
PD: Now everyone, we have collated the votes from that you have just given and we have the results now.
KHD: Ahh, don't keep us in suspense!
LSG: Is there anyone with no votes at all? I want to know.
KHD: There must be, isn't there?
LSG: What will happen then?
PD: There are.. two people with no votes.
KHD: Why live? (with reference to the two people who didn't get votes, a.k.a HIMSELF, LOL!!)
LSG: Hyung, your reaction is like a gambler now, you know?

[the first couple to be announced]
PD: All right, I will announce the results. This is the first couple. They have gotten the most votes. Here I'm going to call out their names.
KHD: Its mutual then between them, mutual! Is it mutual between them?
[HoDong is touchy!]
Hodong goes on a rant on how it will be awkward, so what if two people didn't get votes, etc etc. Very funny reaction from LSG next.
LSG: I didn't write anyone's name for the fun of it! I didn't write anyone's name!
They get on with the results.
PD: This is the first couple. After I call out your names the two of you can sit together. Lee Su Guen, Mc Mong!
MCM and LSGuen each got 2 votes. And they picked each other.
MCM: Gimme a love kiss.
And LSGuen does it! LOL. Love these crazy guys. They exchange watches like a couple ring, hahaha!
PD: Now, we have our most popular couple, and now we will move on to the couple who hasn't even got one vote. I'm going to call out your names.
KHD: The two people have no votes at all?
PD: Yes!
Hodong sighs heavily.
PD: Kang Ho Dong, Kim C!
LSGuen: But are these two going on some kind of filial piety sight seeing?
[1N2D team's best seniors]
MCM: They were the mommy and daddy last week!
Things get VERY awkward between the two of them when they are forced to face each other
KHD: If my reaction isn't good then there wouldn't be any excitement!
LSG: KimC hyung, say something at least, you have no reaction at all now.
KimC: Really.. I feel sorry, that's why.. because of me..
It really sounds very wrong, sounds like they are really in some kind of relationship, and so they all fall down laughing.
KHD: Why are you sorry..
EJW: I think HoDong hyung is going to end up as the driver like at the start of the program!
MCM: Ok, let's go. Let's get outside.
EJW: Let's get going too.
LSG: Ok, we get going too? Let's go then. We're going first!
KHD: Stay for a moment more, stay for a moment. Let's go together.
LSG: Ok, before we leave first, please wipe the hot pepper off! We're going!
Leaving two very awkward people behind, haha.
KHD: Is there really pepper on my face?
KimC: Yea, on your right..
KHD: Do it for me! (like, wipe it off for him)

Bok Bul Bok for (their) Moving instruments]
KHD: PD! So we just take these cars and set off now?
PD: Yes, as all of you can see, we have prepared 3 cars over here, and they are all topped up with fuel. But there's only one of them which is an exception.
[Today's 3 cars are specially prepared for them!]
[What's more, the cars are filled with fuel!]
[But, there's one difference]
EJW: Exception?
PD: In the 3 cars prepared, only one will have your traveling allowance included. (aka, MONEY!!~~ :D)
KHD: Only one of the cars have the traveling allowance?
PD: Yea.
[HoDong, KimC choose the all red car!]
KHD: Here, Kang Ho Dong Kim C have chosen our car.
[So what is in the car?]
[Tent and cooking utensils!]
[How about the SuGuen Mong conbination?]
KHD: One, two, three!
MCM: Its traveling allowance! Traveling allowance!
[Mong quickly flees with the box]
MCM: Don't touch! Don't come near me, all of you!
Everyone starts asking MCM not to overreact and open up the box so that they can see what's inside, but of course MCM doesn't listen. LSG and EJW get upset.
LSG: Aw man, I'm not looking! (as in he doesn't want to know what's inside anymore)
Caption for LSG [He's so mean, I won't look!]
EJW: We are not interested, don't show it!
[But...]
[Even if they are not interested, they have no choice but to see...]
[They got the 1,000,000won traveling allowance!]
[MCM's bad luck ends and his happiness starts! conclusion...?]
[Lastly, what's in JiWon and Seung Gi's car...?]
KimC: Wow! Couple tees!
EJW: ARE YOU HAVING US ON! (are you playing a prank/joke on us)
LSG: Ah, really this is a joke.
[40 sets of couple tees]
EJW: ARE YOU HAVING ME ON! (are you playing a prank/joke on us) Is this some kind of a shop/business?
haha, jiwon screamed so many times after the shock of seeing the 'useless' couple tees. Then LSG gets a brilliant idea after hearing EJW's frustrated scream and the two of them start prancing around in utter happiness when they realise their way out.
LSG: We can start a shop~!! (meaning they can sell the shirts to earn their traveling allowance)
[Sell out the couple tees to raise their traveling allowance?]
EJW+LSG: We can just sell them for manwon(1,00,000 won) and we'll make it!
KHD: You can't!! You can't sell them!
EJW: Why not?
KHD: You can't sell them off! Isn't that against the whole point? (not very sure what he says here, but its something along these lines. KHD speaks too fast for me to understand at times)
[serious]
LSG: No, its not that!
KHD: Then we can do the same too?
LSG+EJW: OF COURSE!
Haha, then LSG and EJW start hanging up the tees like they are gonna sell them immediately. EJW practices his salesman tactics to MCM+LSGuen.
EJW: This is 100% cotton! You know don't you? Its cotton!

KHD: So can Kim C and I get help from our friends? We have nothing you know?
PD: Ok, you can get help from your friends of you manage to find them.
KHD: Do you have friends?
[But THEY HAVE NO FRIENDS...]
PD: Since you are going in 3 pairs, each pair of you will have a PD going along on your trip. For you, Kang Ho Dong, you are specially given the new PD.
Yes, and Kang Ho Dong is given the new PD Yoo, the same one he played the trick on last episode.
[Awkward greeting]
KHD: Everything is so awkward (uncomfortable)! Everything is awkward! How about our writer?
KimC: Who is our writer?
[The PD (they get) is new, and even the writer is the youngest writer!]
PD: Dae Ju YAH!!!! (that's the writer's name)
KHD's caption [The youngest writer, who's that again?]
[This simple and honest youth...?] --->hahaha at the editors. they've got a wicked sense of humor!
KHD: When did you come (join)?
Dae Ju (the writer): I joined in March..
The PD tells them that its a special arrangement so that they can learn with the seniors, aka KHD. KHD gets all stressed up.
KHD: The youngest writer, the youngest PD..
[Feel heavy in the stomach...]
KHD: No, but we don't even have money, so how are we going to get around until tomorrow? Without money? PD Yoo! The youngest! Dae Ju yah!!
Dae Ju: Yes?
KHD: Where did you go??!! Just pay attention to us only! Dae Ju yah! You are the youngest, why are you paying attention to the others! PD Yoo! Come here, what are we going to do now?
He gets off the car.
KHD: What are we going to do about this now?
The writer sneaks off when they are all gathered and look super serious.
KHD: DAE JU YAH!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!
Dae Ju: Ah, there's something I need to go take care of...
KHD: What do you have to go take care of, you should be taking care of us now!
KHD gets really angry and starts ranting at poor little dae ju. He asks where they should go and do now, and PD Yoo steps in to save the poor boy and gives him instructions on what to do. Suddenly, KHD explodes.
KHD: NOW WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE SKY!! You should be paying attention and listening!
Dae Ju: Ah, I was thinking about something, thinking about something!
KHD: Thinking of something? (looks at the sky) This is called thinking? Dae Ju yah! You must tell us something, dae ju yah!
Dae Ju: Ah, let's go to ChunChyeon!
KHD: ChunChyeon why? Suddenly..
KHD: We are filming for the show now, Dae Ju yah, PD Yoo. And we are the awkward couple now, so we should make it like a drama. PD Yoo, when you became a PD, what thoughts did you have? When I become the best PD, what kind of program do I want to do? Have you thought about it? What kind of program do you want to do?
PD Yoo: For me.. I want to do music programs...!
[M.U.S.I.C P.R.O.G.R.A.M]
KHD: Wait what's this, you are on a reality program and you want to do a music program, what's this?
[I feel like going home again...]
PD: I hope to work with songs in future (not sure what he says, but its along these lines)
KHD: You want to work with songs? (screams at Dae Ju) WHAT ARE YOU RECORDING DOWN!!! Song song, why are you writing down song?
Dae Ju:Er, I just thought about it..
KHD: Alright, then Dae Ju, when you become the best writer, what kind of program do you want to do?
Dae Ju: Ah, now my mind is...
KHD: [b]WHY??[/b] (he stares at poor dae ju in a scary manner) Why are you not in your right mind?
Dae Ju: Ah.. I... a while later... I'll tell you 20 minutes later!
[AIGOO...!]
[No reaction, KimC]
[PD who wants to do music programs]
[The youngest writer who will answer only 20 minutes later]
[But this is not the end of it]
KimC: (to the cameraman) Aren't you filming for the first time on 1N2D? It's your first time right?
KHD: Ah, its your first time?
[They get a VJ who's shooting entertainment programs for the first time...!]
Thats the end of the ep!

2008-07-29T01:06:00.001-07:00

Been posting so much 1N2D on this blog that I've almost forgotten that this was orignally a personal blog. From the day I changed my blogskin, I've just been so concentrated on translating, translating and more translating. Tiring, but so totally worth it when I look at the benefits. Well anyway, I'll be moving all the translated articles to my new blog, http://blog.daum.net/sarangaia so that its easier to access all of them at one go. Don't worry, I'll keep posting the translations here too. Just that I want to get back to personal blogging here too.

Watched the Dark Knight on sunday with oppa, the early morning show. I think I should just stick to early morning shows and avoid the crowd in future. The ambience is just so much better in the morning, and by the time you get out of the cinema, its just nice for a hearty lunch (in this case it was Japanese food). How enjoyable life can be sometimes. Wish it could be summer vacation forever, but reality never fails to hammer itself into our lives, does't it?

The Dark Knight was the most enjoyable movie experiences I've had in a long time. Somewhere along the way of lurking in movie theatres, I've somehow gotten used to taking in sappy romantic movies and excessively expensive digitally enhanced action movies that I've forgotten how it feel to have a movie provoke thoughts in me. For once, I didn't spend (ok, it was free tickets anyway, but still) time and money to stare at the bright lights onscreen in an exceedingly big room with the lights off and an overactive sound system only to come out not being able to even reiterate the plot coherently at the end of it. Surprise, surprise! There was actually meaning to the blockbuster, which does not include the age old cliche of the hero will always be the perfect chialrous knight who never fails to have everything miraculously turn out well for him at the last minute. No, its the dark Knight, so its just befitting to have his shining armour, oops, I mean, batsuit tarnished. Even though one would wonder how on earth do you tarnish a black batsuit in the first place. Foreboding? Maybe.

I've had people give me dirty looks when we discuss the Dark Knight. The conversation goes a little like this.
Friend: Have you watched Dark knight?
Me: Yea man. Its good.
Friend: YES!!! *squeals* Joker was great! Batman was handsome! Action scenes were awesome! Music was incredible! Wish the guy didn't die though.
Me: Yea. It was awesome. I've never thought it possible to bring together the entire theme of anarchism so nicely, with all the subtle shadows of the infamous incidents that have happened in the few years of late..
And as I prattle on, the dirty looks and rolled eyes will always seal my mouth shut faster than you can say super glue. There are people who look for meaning in things, and then there are those who just want to see the surface enjoyment and leave things as that. Not that there's anything wrong with it. After all, there are things that you could never understand and distill meaning out of, even if you spent your whole life on it. How do you psycho analyse the Joker who just wants to watch the world 'crash and burn' for no reason at all? The entire routine of antagonising Mr Batman into action, just for the laughs of it, a rethorical cycle that just absurdly continues for the kick of it with no end in sight. Doesn't it ring a bell somewhere? An entire establishment that crashed and burnt at the whims of the guys who couldn't be bothered about who dies in the process, all in name of attaining the greater order. The anarchic Joker mocks authority and establishment, and sneers at any attempt to classify and explain his psychotic, mass murdering ways (pop psychology anyone?) Ironically, by rebelling against the system in his non conformist ways, he actually conforms to the stereotypes the system has established for him, the sad and unchangeable contradiction of anarchism. The comtempt the anarchist feels towards the 'schemers', as our dear joker put so succintly across, his triumph and delight at outsmarting the plotters who scheme their way trying to capture him without a plan only mirrors his failure to realise that he too, behaves in the exact same schemeing and organised way. Come on. All that action executed like clockwork, the prudently planted bombs, the masked hostages, are we honestly going to believe that no planning was going on? Impossible.

But unlike the anarchists of Conrad's books who go in a big circle trumpeting their anti-establishment plans just to end up with nothing to show for their pathetic efforts that go wrong at every possible turn, our joker comes out victorious here. Batman the vigilante may be incorruptable (alright, that remains to be seen), but there are the most saintly and virtous out there who will fall with a light knock in the right places. The purer and higher the hope, the more pieces it will shatter into, the fragmented world that we know will forever remain imperfect. In the face of such a gloomy prospect, we can only build our hopes in the most selfish manner, to push all the responsiblity to the vigilantes in the darkness of the night. Keep mum when he's doing the dirty work, but stone him when he's not needed, in the belief that everything will be accepted without any complaints. But does such a person actually exist for us to pin our hopes on? Or maybe we'll see more leading the life of simple pleasures like the joker who "like(s) fuel, bombs and dynamites" for their simple ability to make everything go cleanly up in flames. Do you remember, the three have a thing in common too. "They're cheap". Well, we've certainly seen many cases of people attaining their aim of getting (un)wanted attention by means of this classic and inexpensive method the joker is so fond of, haven't we? Hopefully they get cleaned up.

Never mind if you think its all smart talking. Watch the dark knight and you'll realise they have more smart talking witty one liners you would have thought possible in 3 hours. Even if you don't, you would still have the bragging rights of having watched the hottest blockbuster this summer.

P.S: RIP Heath Ledger. Its late but better than never. It was a great performance.

080720 1 Night 2 Days

2008-07-24T09:38:00.001-07:00

Opening
The guys are preparing for their opening.
PD: There's been a new PD allocated for our 1N2D team!
Enter skinny guy new PD.
PD: I'm still new, so I don't even know my way around KBS yet..
EJW: What PD is this! Its your house, house! (think he's referring to how KBS should be a PD's house and yet the newbie doesn't even know his way around.)
Flash forward to their 'fight scene' to come. The poor newbie is in for a shock!
(be back to fill this part in. video is not loading properly for some reason)
Opening by KHD as usual. They talked a little about their Baekdusan trip. Apparently EJW had the runs while in China.
EJW: Half the toilet roll disappeared in one day! (referring to how bad his runs were) I got angry suddenly, so I called up the main writer.
Apparently the main writer had the runs too, haha.

KHD: Finally on 1N2D, we are going to have some flexibility.
EJW: What kind of flexibility are we going to have?
KHD: They (the PDs?) know we've been through a lot of hardships..
MCM: Ah, it was really tiring..
KHD: For our trip this time, everyone, for our trip we are going on a vacation (as in a real holiday)!
MCM: Wow! A vacation?
LSGuen, KimC: So we are going to get to eat watermelons and stuff and also sleep? (I'm not too sure what they said here)
LSG: Really?
EJW: Why do I not feel happy, but really uneasy?
LSGuen: Exactly~
KHD whips out this scroll, which he promptly opens the wrong way
MCM: I feel so worried!
KHD: One, two, three! A 4 member family will get 20,000won to go on a 1 night 2 days holiday!
They explain the rationale behind the plan. Most families in korea have 4 members, and since its summer, most people would be going on holiday. So they've planned for it to work like any normal family, with 20,000won, which would be the typical expenditure.

KHD: So now we are going to do a simoolation (he pronounces this wrongly) on 1night 2 days as a four member family.
LSG: SIMULATION!! Not simoolation!
So KHD explains what they will do on the trip, and the the obvious question of who gets to go on the trip pops up.
LSG: But which four of us are going to get to go on the trip?
LSGuen: But we are a family of 6?
Someone complains in the background that he's hungry. Its either MCM or EJW. LOL!
LSG: Ah, four of us are going and so two of us are going to get left out?
LSGuen: Ah, what else would it be? (referring to how annoying the PDs are for cooking up this scheme, HAHA!)
LSG: Then what happens to the two people who get left behind? (Ahh, seung gi yah, its YOU who's gonna get left behind, smart qn to ask! HAHA)
PD: We are not leaving two of the members out... its that most Korean families have 4 members, so we have to do a simulation with 4 members here.
LSG: So we'll have four of us and the other two get dropped out and go home? (notice he stresses on the words drop out, haha)
PD: What's this talk about dropping out, its not really dropping out..
LSG: But it IS dropping (two of them) out!
KimC: No, but how are the two going to get there then...
Everyone starts making a fuss that two of them are going to get left out.
MCM: (When we go on a holiday) The puppy also gets to go! (meaning even pets get to go, so its not really a 4 member thing, LOL) I can be the puppy...
EJW: I really think we should do this quickly (and get over and done with it)
So they start discussing who to go where.
LSGuen: I'll go to the car now.. I'm the driver ain't I!
EJW: I'm DEFINITELY part of the family this time.
LSG: NO! There's no reason for this!
EJW: Look here. What is a family? Isn't it parents and their kids? Right?
KHD: Right.
EJW: I'm the KID! (he says 자식 here, which can mean kid (children) or rascal/fellow) Son!
LSG: I'm also the son of the house!
KHD: Really, this rascal (자식) is hilarious... (haha!)
So its decided that the ones who get left behind will have to get a part time job to earn money and find their way to the destination the 'family' is headed to. And KHD decides to pick the two outcasts by nominations. Captions [the scary nomination time!]
KHD: All right, now we have to nominate and pick out the two people.
LSG feels uneasy about it and immediately protests.
LSG: Wait a minute, let's not do it by nominating!
MCM is also apprehensive and the two of them keep protesting. Captions [Uneasiness]

KHD: I nominate Lee Seung Gi!
LSG protests!
KHD: MCM is popular too, but your popularity is really much higher! Look, you are really popular. So (LSG) has no money. Even though he has no money, he'll be able to get around by hitch hiking!
KHD figures that even without money, LSG would be able to find someway, somehow
LSGuen: Its Lee Seung Gi!
HAHA, LSGuen was so happy. 2 seconds later he'd be in the same boat with LSG!
KHD: At the same time we need another person out. So I nominate LSGuen at the same time!
LSGuen complains.
KHD: EJW is the kid. So tanyway I look more like a dad, and you don't look like a mom anyway. So for this family you are obviously out!
LSGuen: No wait, how about KimC hyungnim?
KHD: He's the MOM! I vote LSGuen!
LSGuen: I vote Kang Ho Dong! Right, Seung Gi?
LSG: No, if he (KHD) goes, it will cost a lot of fuel! (???)
KHD: I don't think so!
EJW: I thought that was chinese! (referring to how KHD's pronunciation is really bad) I ond't think so! I don't think so!
HAHA! LSGuen starts giving his reason why he thinks KHD should be the one taken out, and KHD starts bullying him, kicking and stepping on him. Obviously someone has to give way here, and its not gonna be our KHD. And that's settled. The teams are formed.

LSG and LSguen ask KHD to give them some money, but he refuses obviously.
LSGuen: Give us some money. You have 20,000 won, just give us 10,00 won!
LSG: Honestly, since we are going alone, you should give us some money!
LSGuen: Just give us 10,00 won now..
KHD gives the incredulous face.
KHD: Ah.. Its really my first time seeing them.. who are these people?
Captions [who are they?]
LSGuen: No, just give us 10,000won..
KHD: Its our first time meeting, why do you KEEp asking me for money!? This is ridiculous.. (he walks off)
LSG: Hyung! HYUNG!!!
LSG tries MCM.
LSG: Excuse me!
[trying again to beg for 20,000won]
LSGuen: Just give us the 20,000 won, really...
MCM: I have no power! (I have no say in this)
KHD: Yah! I just got an idea.
LSG: What?
KHD: Look, you and Seung Gi, you guys have no money now. So just go on a live radio show and do a performance to earn some money!
KimC: Yah, that's a really good idea!

So KHD and family set off.
MCM: I'm daddy's daughter! (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!~~) YOu gave birth to me like that, daddy! (OMG! LOL!)
KHD: Shall we go eat a bowl of cold noodles? We should get something to eat before we set off..
The rest laugh at him. KimC starts saying something, to which the captions refers to KimC as [he's the mommy]
EJW: Daddy, then I want to eat a hamburger! Daddy, I want a hamburger! (to KimC) MOMMY!!!
... ... They have nothing to say to this.

Back at KBS, LSG and LSGuen are on the steps. LSG is so funny when sitting at the steps with LSGuen.
LSG: I wish we could earn ALL the money! Everything would follow after that!
You can see he's getting frustrated.
LSG: I have bring along these clothes myself too? The staff are not coming along? My manager is not coming along too??
Ooh, that incredulous expression. Such a cutie!
LSG: Hyung do you have anything we can pawn?
LSGuen: I have nothing! Ring..
LSG: The ring! Ah this!
LSGuen: No we can't! Not this!
LSG: You'll be able to find it back later anyway..
LSGuen: No, we can't, not my ring..
[and now]
[the flippers make their appearance!]
LSGuen: This is interesting.
LSG: Let's try the radio (performance) once now! If that doesn't work out... (he stares at LSGuen's wedding ring)

They decide to try out the radio station. But they are denied access by the guy because they have no prior appointment. So they get to the office and start scribbling furiously.
LSGuen: Oh, just get rid of those flippers of yours will you!
They head over to the recording room where the PD is. We find out whats' written on their paper.

[Hong Jin Kyung ROCKS!]
[Please give us a gig!] ---> a live performance chance so that they can earn money.
PD gives the green light and the two boys enter the room. LSG asks if they can have a job appearing live on radio. PD asks why didn't they at least call in advance. LSGuen wriggles his way out of responsibility saying its not him (who came out with the idea). PD says he thought the 1N2D team members are always too busy to appear (on radio)? They do some explaining and PD asks them to hold on. Meanwhile DJ sees them and goes "I'M GOING MAD!" PD requests that they pull in the listener ratings, and asks if they've prepared any live performances, which stumps LSG for a moment. DJ at the same time goes "We have in our studio now, Lee Su Guen and.. who's that?" LSG smiles sheepishly hearing that. Captions go [Seung Gi's day of ordeals] PD continues "And Lee Seung Gi have arrived. Ah, why have they come? Let's find out."
And that's it! They got on the show And LSGuen requests for someone to call KHD and inform him.

LSGuen: HI!!!! Hong Jin Kyung ROCKS! Hong Jin Kyung ROCKS!
DJ: Why are the two of you here?
LSG: Ah, really this is..! We are on now aren't we? Live radio show!
DJ: Yes, so let's start (an introduction) with Lee Seung Gi!
LSG: Ah, dear viewers of *radio programme name*, AH, dear listeners! I'm really really sorry for the sudden introduction..
Meanwhile the family on the car tune in.
(I have no idea what programme it is)

Impromptu radio part time job
LSGuen: If we talk about the situation now that we are in, Kang Ho Dong is a BAD GUY! While he's comfortable there, me and Seung Gi are having (a tough time), he just left us behind!
DJ: But today 1N2D is setting off..
LSGuen: yes, when setting off, do you know who is the driver?
DJ: Lee Su Guen
LSGuen: Exactly. But they went without me..
MCM: I'm the driver here!
And the DJ continues chatting with them on the day's 1N2D filming.
[radio live broadcasting in progress]
DJ: Hahaha.. oh but you won't get paid for your (radio) appearance! If you don't sing a song, you're not considered to have appeared (on the radio show)!
MCM: Wah.. she's great..
DJ: Alright, so please prepare yourselves (in that corner). Let's give them a round of applause!
LSGuen: I'll be giving my members some messages during the song! Dear listeners, I love you!
LSG: Yes, really love you guys!
Our odd couple starts singing. Mujogon!!~ And the awesome lyrics begin.
LSGuen: Kang Ho Dong you shouldn't do that! (haha, shouldn't leave them behind! but its funnier because they did!) Ho Dong you shouldn't do that!
EJW: ! Listen to that! He said "Kang Ho Dong you shouldn't do that" just now!
KHD: ...
LSGuen: JJa jja ra jja ra jja ra EUN JI WON!
[this time its me?]
Continue with the song (do check out the lyrics to the song, LSGuen totally changed it SOOO well!)
LSGuen: .... Remove Ho Dong and I like everything else~! (HAHAHA!!~)
KHD: !
LSGuen: .... MONGI DRIVE WITH YOUR EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD! (it actually means drive carefully) ... MONGI YAH~~ .... KIMC HYUNG you shouldn't be like that!
KimC: Me what?
Everyone is staring at the family of 4 in the car! LOL, I can imagine just how funny the entire thing was on radio and all. Man, I love their spontaneous madness on the show!
LSGuen: ... Let their tires punture! (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! OMGOMGOMG!!~) ... Since we are appearing on radio, give us our pay, GIVE US OUR PAY!!!
DJ [I'm going crazy!]
LSG: ... Let their tyres puncture! JJa jja ra jja ra jja ra jjan jjan jjan!
Oh my goodness. The two silly boys!
DJ: Wah.. there's a big commotion/confusion on the bulletin boards now for the listeners (i think she's referring to those online bulletins where the radio listeners can also post stuff). There's a commotion! Honestly, this time the radio listeners have ranked you first.
LSG+LSGuen: Wahhhh!!~~~ (LSGuen starts chanting) Move backward, KANG HO DONG!
DJ: We can connect to KHD on the phone now!
LSG, LSGuen: Oh really?
KHD: Let's shout together.. 1N~2D!
The DJ and KHD start chatting and the DJ mentions how LSGuen has been airing his unhappiness towards KHD during the song.
LSGuen: When did i ever?
KHD: I HEARD IT ALL!! Yes, so we need to fix his habit of saying things behind our backs! (HAHAHA!!)
And they continue talking for a while, and KHD hangs up. The DJ continues talking about being surprised at KHD's 7 years of sirreum (to which MCM was like, isn't it 6 years? LOL) and how KHD has a type of charisma as an MC, which obviously made KHD really happy.
LSGuen: He's the strongest guy not without a reason! He's a respectable person!
[suddenly concerned for his own benefit, Su Guen?] ---> haha! yea, he was obviously trying to get into KHD's good books here, hahaha!
LSGuen: If a junior has any shortcomings, he will keep on pointing it out again and again! (HAHAHA!!)
DJ: Well, as a parting, introduce yourself to the listeners with 'chinese'!
KHD: Using chinese, HAHAHA!!
LSGuen: (in his phony chinese) Thank you to all the listeners who love HongJinGong's programme! We hope you will tune in often in future. Everybody, together, 1NIGHT, 2DAYS!!
EJW: Oh Su Guen hyung, fighting!! Lee Su Guen is the best!
And so the programme ends with (my favourite!) Let's go on a vacation. Love them so much, they're so funny!
LSGuen: Will we get money? (what a one track mind!)
LSG: I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry (for the sudden interruption)
And LSG picks up his flippers again, LOL!! KHD starts lip syncing, and MCM motions behind him that he's crazy For their effort, LSG and LSGuen get 30,000 won each, which excites LSG a lot, and he keeps bowing and saying thanks (what a cute polite boy!).
PD: What are you going to take later then?
LSG: With this we can take the KTX! (its an express train )
The two boys greet everyone again and go on their way again.

The wierd family
EJW: I'm hungry!~
KHD: Jiwon, you want to eat between meals?
EJW: I want soft ice cream!! (I'm assuming he wants soft serve here, lol)
KHD: But you can't eat it now, we should be frugal with our money...
KimC and KHD try to persuade EJW that he shouldn't be eating at this point of time, when MCM the daughter suddenly butts in and TOTALLY ruins the mood, LOL!!
MCM: Daddy, buy me a miniskirt!
KHD: ...
KimC: ...
EJW: ...
MCM: ...
the other family members have nothing to say.. LOL!! After this, they start plotting against the new PD, cooking up their elaborate hidden camera plot. Meanwhile..

After radio performance
LSGuen: Oh my god, just put that away! (referring to the flippers, LOL) Why do you KEEP carrying it?
On the phone
LSGuen: (passing the phone to LSG) I called 114..
LSG: Ah, hello! Is this 114?
[HUH-DANG APPEARS] ---> i LOVEEEEE the editors sense of humour!!
LSG: I want to know about information on the trains arrival and departure and prices for Seoul station, I was wondering if you have the information or what number should I call?
LSGuen: We can just go and ask about that at the Seoul subway station! Ah, I really don't know what to do with you.. We can just check at the Seoul station, why call 114?
LSG: There's a number for Seoul station? (What??!! My dear boy, what are you asking??!!)
LSGuen falls down laughing. Captions [Whats this / He's not even Kim Jong Min's junior...] ---> meaning LSG is even worse (more blur) than KJM! LOL!!
LSGuen: What, then are people in Seoul station supposed to use telegraphs then?
LSG: No.. Is there a phone number for Seoul station? (OMG, my dear boy, what else would people working in the seoul station use to contact others? OF COURSE there's phones and phone numbers for the station!!)
So they call the station and a lady picks up.
LSG: Oh, hello! We want to go to Changsoo from Seoul station..
Lady: If you are going to Changsoo, you can take the subway from yeongdongpo station to namwon station, then take a bus to Changsoo.
LSGuen: What time does the train run?
LSG: We're asking so many questions... Is it really ok? (oh my god. that's what the hotline is for boy!!)
LSGuen: They are SUPPOSED to guide you through your many questions!!
The lady tells them it will cost them 20,100 won for the train tickets. Then our Seung Gi goes on a sorry roll. The boy is just so polite! He kept apologising to the lady when asking questions, and he has so many ways of putting it across (which doesn't exactly apply in english since sorry is sorry and there's no other way to say it).
LSG: Then, I'm sorry but when does the last train leave? I'm sorry but can you... In that case, I'm really sorry, really really sorry ...
LSGuen: You're sorry again? Give me the phone!
LSG refuses to, with a cute smile and gesture I'm not sure if its just me, but staring at the lousy low quality video on youtube, LSG's eyelashes look really really long and pretty? Haha, his eyes kept attracting me during this part It was like they were screaming 'Look at me!'
Lady: For booking of tickets.. may I know if are you a member?
LSG: I'm not..
LSGuen: I'M A MEMBER! (snatches the phone away) I'm a member of the train company!
LSG: Hold on a minute, sorry, hahaha!
LSGuen: I'm from the 1N2D and we are on our way, the person on the phone with you just now was Lee Seung Gi..
Lady: Can you please repeat that again?
LSGeun: Ah, the person on the phone with you just now was Lee Seung Gi.
Lady: Ah! Dear customer, you will need to be a member of the train company and know your card and password. You can't book tickets without membership!
Lady doesn't care if they are lying or not! Can't even be bothered to find out! LOL!
LSGuen: I told her it was Lee Seung Gi on the phone with her and she was like "Ah, he's not a member with us!'

HAHAHA! They then set off to music bank to look for a job.
LSG: Hyungnim, hello! I'm sorry.. You know don't you? I'm on 1N2D now... we are falling behind with our progress, so are there part time jobs or anything like that for us? Or I could do a prerecorded performance today, so can we get paid in advance? (HAHAHA. he only sees money now doesn't he?)
PD: Advance pay for your performance? Where on earth do we have advanced payment here!
LSGuen: If not then is there anything we can do?
[if they get another 20,000won, it will be enough for the train fees to namwon...]
[a while later]
[the mop makes its appearance]
LSG: Where, where?
[the two people with the part time job they requested for]
[its starting / from mopping the floor!]
flash to the family of four having fun, then back to the two guys at music team.
[meanwhile Seung Gi of the behind-in-progress team]
Backstage crew: Seung Gi ssi, please tell Wondergirls to be on standby.
[this time he's attending to Wondergirls (juniors)]----> love their sense of humour. they actually put a little icon saying wondergirls are his juniors. LOL!
LSG: Its so embarrassing, really! (knocks) Wondergirls please be on standby!
[its mutually embarrassing]
he gets pushed in by LSGuen
LSG: Ah, wait a minute, why (are you doing this)?
[embarrassed Seung Gi] [POK!] --> he hits his head [he doesn't see the camera anymore now]
LSG: Ah, this is really, its going to be so embarrassing on the show! It feels strange, doesn't it?
LSGuen: I'm not really bothered, but for Seung Gi.. because you are a singer on stage...
LOL. he feels really embarrassed.
LSGuen (yawning): Ah, this is so tiring.
[its even more tiring than Baekdusan...]
then its time for all the funny captions, with LSG's 동경 playing in the background.
[finally] [Seung Gi sits on the floor]
enter the song lyrics, with the image of KHD and the others on the car. 'will you remember this day?' 'will you think of my name?'
Staff: Ah, Seung Gi you are suffering~
LSG: Ah.. don't just look at the (bright lights of) the stage... the work behind the scene is no joke!
[sad plight] [embarrassment]
enter tablo, who's close to Seung Gi. Tablo gives him a totally baffled look, like 'what are you doing on the floor?'

2008-07-17T10:30:00.000-07:00

080713 1 Night 2 Days
The base camp for today is at someone's house, and they set off eagerly there.
KHD: This is nice!
EJW: Is it that house?
MCM: Really, there's nothing here.. (yea, it is pretty bare there)
KHD: (outside the house) Excuse me.. Annyeonghaseyo!
Guy opens the door.
KHD: Hello, so nice to meet you, we are 1 night 2 days..
The guys greet the house owners. They're apparently koreans, not Chinese. I'm not too sure about the details, just saw it on the comments section on youtube, so take this with a pinch of salt. So KHD leads the guys into greeting the house owners with a big bow (which is rather formal), and this confuses the house owners, who have no choice but to follow suit (its basic courtesy i think ) CAptions here are HILARIOUS.
[they greet the (house owners) first] [bowing to us?] [? ?] [the forced bow, they have no choice!] HAHAHA
KHD: Just greet us comfortably.. (i.e, no need for the big bow, LOL!) Notice here, LSG gives a 90 degree bow. Have I mentioned how I adore the guy for being so polite and appropriate?
KHD: Are we disturbing you?
Mommy&Daddy: Aieee.. No, you are not! (the daddy is so awkwardly endearing)
KHD: We're not disturbing you? Let's get your son to introduce (the family) to us.
Son: Ok. (refers to his dad) Dad.
KHD: (paused for a second. maybe he doesnt know how to react to this really succinct introduction) Let's give a hand of applause for the Dad!
Son: Mom.
KHD: Let's give a hand of applause for Mom!
Son: Girlfriend.
KHD: HAHAHA!! Yah.. girlfriend eh.. applause! And?
Son: Sister.
KHD: Ahh, your sister. Applause!
Mom: She's currently in (Dae Sung) high school now..
KHD: Ahh.. so she's in high school now.. which year?
Sister: 2nd year.
KHD: Oh.. so how did you feel about 1 night 2 days coming to you house?
Mom: She was so excited, everyday!
KHD: Ooooh.. Who did you MOST want to see then? Don't tell us now, just come and hug the person you wanted to see most.
Someone in the background: Just go give the oppa you've been wanting to see most a hug.
KHD: Here.. let's go!
The girl stands up and the other guys start remarking "Ah.. you see? AGAIN! AGAIN! Just look at this!" Yes, she picks LSG! No surprise here, haha. LSG stands up to give her a hug.
KHD: Mr Lee Seung Gi, you popularity is really great..
LSG: (shy but obviously happy ) Aiee... no hyung..
KHD: Hmm, then our daddy here, did you actually know what kind of a program 1 Night 2 Days is?
Dad: Yea!~
KHD: Do you know our faces?
Dad: I know your faces!
KHD: Oh!!~ (points to himself) Name?
Dad: Yea?
KHD: Name?
Dad: ... name.. Kim Ho Dong?
KANGHD starts cracking up because the dad changed his surname
KHD: (bowing) I'm Kang Ho Dong. And.. (asking him for KimC's name)
Dad: Man, I don't know the names. My wife watches (1N2D) regularly though.
KHD: Oh, then Mom, you give a try.
Mom: Kang Ho Dong, KimC, lee Su Guen (and he lets out an exaggerated WOAH!, LOL), Lee Seung Gi, MC Mong? Eun Ji Won? I watched the program well..
KHD: Ah, so that's it.. Dad, who did you want to see the most?
Dad: Kang Ho Dong.. Doing sirreum (wrestling)! I wanted to see that!
KHD: OOOH! In this case, Dad, you actually knew I was a wrestler back then?
Dad: Yea, I knew!
Yahhhh all the guys sigh in wonder.
KHD: Mom, so if we are going to take up (this room) in the house, where are the rest of the family going to sleep?
Dad: We'll go somewhere else. We'll be putting up outside the house!
KHD falls down again, and questions if the arrangement is ok.
Mom: We have many relatives in this area..
The guys: Ah... so this is the case..
KHD: Mom, sing us a song!
Mom: Ahh.. I really dont sing well..
The guys bug her to sing
Mom: Even if i don't sing it well, I'l still have to sing a few words..
The guys are happy to hear that. Mom starts singing. Apparently the song goes "You are the best..". It sounds like a really old oldie. LSGuen gets up to do his pepper dance again, LOL. Mom actually doesn't sing too bad! And our Huh-dang gets up to do his bounce routine.

Washing up
LSGuen: KimC hyung! Wash my feet.
He's getting the losers to give him some personal services, LOL
KimC: I'm not a slave..
LSGuen: What kind of talk is this? He's not gonna do it?
MCM: I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll wash for you..
LSGuen: Brush my teeth for me too.
LSG starts nonchanlantly brushing his teeth even when he hears LSGuen ordering the others to brush his teeth and wash his feet.
[a while later..]
MCM is brushing LSGuen's teeth!
[a monkey slave's teeth brushing service..]
MCM: Your tongue, hyung!
He sticks it out. MCM brushes it HARD, and causes LSGuen to gag, LOL. KHD then washes his face too at the small tap.
KHD: Come here, Suguen ah.. I'll help you wash up.
[the next slave KHD]
LSGuen sticks his feet out at a still busy face washing KHD. LOL, then KHD really starts washing his feet, after which he proceeds to wash LSGuen's face like one would wash a kid's face. He pinches LSGuen's nose to mimic how a parent would get his kid to blow his nose. And guess what? The funnyman REALLY blew his nose! He apparently blew and snot came out, which caused KHD to scream.
KHD: AHHHH!! HAHAHA! AHHHH!!! YOU ARE GONNA DIE, YOU!!!! YOU REALLY BLEW YOUR NOSE?!
LSG stands at the side in half disgusted amusement, and does this thing with his long, pretty fingers You can see he was a little disgusted, LOL.
LSG: Your snot even came to your lips, didn't it?
LSGuen: Ah, my snot really came out..
LSG gets all excited and a little disgusted too? HAHAHA. At any rate, he grabbed his hair again, LOL.
LSG: Hyung, can you pour some water on my hair for me once?
LSG then proceeds to give KHD instructions on pouring water on his head and hands him the shampoo too. The guy is so funny, he actually got into push up position to let KHD wash his hair! And he STILL makes noises when he gets his hair washed
LSG: Oh, Oh! (pour the water) above!
KHD was holding the pail below LSG's face then and he took LSG's words literally and splashed the water UPWARDS, onto the poor boy's face, HAHAHA.
LSG: Ahh! Stop it! Why (are you doing this)? Aie, I said above my head.. (stops KHD who's about to pour more water onto him) Wait, wait wait! (pour the water on my) hands, hands hands! Oh! AH! My eyes.. my eyes can't be opened now!
Meanwhile, KimC is brushing his hair, and EJW is watching in amusement behind him.
EJW: ooooh... sanchez!
KimC gets his guitar out and starts singing bessa me, while LSGuen acts like a country bumpkin passerby and tries to give KimC money, to which KimC doesnt even bother to accept. And other guys just keep laughing madly in the background. So what does LSGuen do? Kick KimC aside and close the door of course. Literally.

Chilling out
So country bumpkin LSGuen got tired of 'busker' KimC rejecting his money, and decided to shove him out of the way by giving him a great big kick and slamming the door shut behind him. Mexican Kim gets up smiling with his guitar, and speaks ever so relaxedly.
KimC: Yah.. you're gonna die... Lee Su Guen.
KimC is adorable in his moments, isn't he? After this little funny episode, the guys sit outside the door and chill.
KHD: PD, what time are we getting up tomorrow?
PD: We're getting up at 2.30am (!!!!!!) and setting off at 4am.
KHD: Hahaha.. do you know what time it is now?
PD: I have no idea.
KHD: Hahaha.. its 12am now! Why are we even (planning on) sleeping?
Its hard on the guys, even harder on the staff too. Hats off to them! Anyway, they all head of to sleep, winning sirrem team LSG+LSGuen+EJW in the house, KHD+KimC+MCM outside.

Pep talk
Ok, I'm not so sure about this part, can't really hear the guys clearly, so I'll try. Hopefully eequeezee can correct me when she sees this episode this week.
LSG: Will there be a time when I will laugh and look back at this?
EJW: Hm. [silence, then suddenly] Grandfather Seung Gi...
LSG: Yes?
EJW: Grandfather Su Guen...
LSGuen (in his grandfatherlu voice): Yes.. Thinking back about those days..
The three boys start muttering like as if they really were old.
LSGuen: KimC went last year right? (I'm guessing it means he passed on? LOL)
MUAHAHAHA, LSG and EJW start laughing like mad.
LSGuen: No matter how you look at us, he seems like the one who would go first..
EJW: Try thinking when Hodong goes..
LSGuen: Well, he sure ate a lot from then till now.. Thinking about the time we went to Baekdusan, really..
EJW: Aigooo.. Back then Hodong believed so much in his strength and ran like he was boiling (? i didn't understand this).. He had so much energy..
LSGuen: That was when he was DESCENDING Baekdusan! When we are reborn, maybe the two lands would have already reunited..
LSG: That's a wish? When will we be reunited..
EJW: Enough of reunification already!
They continue to chatter about how they'd be like in future.
LSG: (in his grandfather voice) Let's all shout together! 1Night!
KHD: 2 DAYS!!
They all wake up. KHD says he's got something important to tell the guys and gets them to go out of the house to the tent.
EJW: What's it again? Don't you see I'm dying? (haha)
Coming out of the house.
EJW: Its 12!!
KHD: Precisely.. so come out quickly!
EJW: Ah, you can just tell us tomorrow! We have 4 hours then..
KHD: (annoyed) COME HERE QUICKLY!
They all sit in the tent.
KHD: All right, we are coming to the end of all the complications, and tomorrow we'll be off to BDS at 4am. Since we are going to the Heaven Lake, the 1N2D team has prepared something for us. (unzipping his jacket) Don't be too shocked. From now on its gonna be 100% real. Real seawater from Dokdoh.
He produces the bottle, and the guys just stare on. I guess at that ungodly hour, they weren't in the right frame of mind to connect to its significance. Anyway, he then produces another 3 bottles of sea water, all taken by people from the respective islands. Obviously the 1N2D team has been planning very carefully for this for a long time. I was really really touched when I saw the little messages from the locals who filled the bottle. Such simple and pure well wishes.
KHD: We'll be pouring these into the Heaven Lake. What significance does this have?
EJW: I understand now. When these goes into the lake, its like a reunion.
LSG: So we have water from north, south, east and west from our country, and we are all together in the Heaven Lake, we'll all meet one day.
All the guys sigh in amazement. After some more discussion, they go back to their places to sleep.
LSGuen: I thought KHD was gonna play a joke on us.. but I turned out to be really touched..
Now the guys start getting really excited about their trip for the next day, and can't wait for it to come.

Waking up
Its 2.40am and we have LSG with a toothbrush stuck in his mouth, counting down.
LSG: WAKE UP!!!!!!~
MCM makes a wierd sound, haha. Anyway they all wake up and clear up, while LSG sits down to scribble furiously a thank you note for the family. I love the thoughtful gesture. He's just so appropriate and well behaved, this boy of ours. Hope he stays that way for a long time to come. They pack up and are about to leave.
LSG: Ah, I'm so going to pack less of a load next time..
HAHAHA. He's so funny with his ways. Dragging that huge luggage along As for the letter, this is what I could make out. "We express our heartfelt gratitude to you, so sorry for not being able to send our greetings to you before we leave. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Do contact us in Seoul! - KBS 1Night 2Days." And so, they set off to baekdusan.

Setting off
KHD starts talking about how they have to try to get to the starting point as soon as possible, and that the time is now 4.00am (which is weird, since I saw the clock on the bus said 3.40am? LOL) The guys then all marvel at the rising sun and some grand music plays in the background.

Fast forward their bus trip and they finally get off.
KHD: Seung Gi yah, how old are you now?
LSG: 23 years old (for those confused over why he's 23 and not 21, pls refer to my post some time back on it.)
KHD: If you are 23, then the difference between our ages is.. (he calculates) 16 years. If you look at it, I got here earlier than Seung Gi.. (referring to his earlier debut? hahaha). I was in sirruem when I was only 19..
LSG: The memories from then are still fresh in your mind aren't they?
KHD: Ah.. If you look at this today, it'll seem like we'll be going there forever! (I'm not sure what he means.. maybe how the memory of them going to BDS will seem to stick forever?)
KHD says something else about 20 years ago that I can't decipher.
LSG: Really, 1 Night 1 Days is a great program.
And so the guys head to the entrance, where EJW is busy taking sel-ca of himself.
EJW: Now you are looking at.. Chang Baek San. Peace out. 1Night, 2Days~
While the guys are walking, they see a HUGE dog (?). I have no idea if its a dog or something else, lol.
Anyway the red captions are super funny. [Baekdusan's TIGER??]
MCM goes over to have a look, and LSG decides to be funny and pushes MCM towards that HUGE animal.
MCM: Let's take a picture, let's take a picture!
VJ: Isn't that the kind that costs money? (like those touristy picture taking stuff)
[Bingo..]
KHD: Yah, that's gonna cost money, let's go, LET'S GO! (HAHAHA)

At baekdusan
So the guys finally are near Baekdusan, and the sights along the way are pretty!
KHD (to LSG): You can drink the water from the Heaven lake..
LSG: Really?
KHD: Yea, its that clear and fresh..
EJW: Natural moss!
PD goes on to explain the presence of the moss.
They realise that there's both cold and hot water running side by side.
MCM: There's cold water running.. and there's hot water running too... What's this?
LSGuen: It means Cold.hot water all able (for use) (HAHA at his hot.cold tap reference)

They go further.
LSG: Hyung, surely that not snow?
LSGuen: Oh yes, it is.. but..
LSG: Really? How can there be snow right there?
Well, his question is not answered. KimC and KHD start talking something about snow.
MCM: Hyung, is that the Heaven Lake?
KHD: Its from Heaven lake..
They decide to proceed on quickly.
EJW: WOW!!! LET'S GO QUICKLY!!
LSG: Olreum waterfall, olreum waterfall!
KimC: ChangBaek waterfall!
All of them are amazed at the sights.
KHD: Its so beautiful!
LSG starts filming the waterfalls with a huge camera.
LSG: Wow! There's snow at the side. SNOW!
MCM: Wow, its really beautiful.

The guys stop to try the water. Man, I'd love to go there someday. The place looks so naturally beautiful! LSG excitedly calls for KHD.
LSG: Hodong hyung!! Hodong hyung! (awww.. ain't it cute he calls for KHD first? ) Its hot here! (points to the water) Water is hot here!
KHD: Here's cold water and over there its hot?
LSG: Wow.. how's this possible?
KimC: Wow.. I'm really at a loss for words..
LSG starts coming out with his wierd Huh-dang theories again.
LSG: So up there its like cold water on one side and hot water on the other! (referring to the two streams of water from at the waterfall, HAHA)
KHD then explains why the water is hot and cold on two sides.

Now, the guys have finally reached one of their toughest challenge, the stairs that seem to stretch up forever.
EJW: When you look here, its a TOTALLY steep flight of stairs! At the end of it is Heaven lake.
KHD starts going up the flight the stairs. In front of him are a couple, the girlfriend on the boyfriend's back. LSG goes behind them and gives the thumbs up sign.
LSG: When I get a girlfriend in future, I'll also want to carry my girlfriend up Baekdusan on my back! To heaven Lake.. (aww... such a cutie pie)
Haha, then LSG starts filming himself, and showing us to the ice rocks again that he found so fascinating on the way to the stairs just now.
LSG: Let's see clearly now again, one more time, what we couldn't earlier. Wah! Ice rocks! Ice rocks! Its so fascinating!
We then realise the VJ filming LSG is right beside him. So who's doing the filming? LSG's manager! LOL. MCM also makes his way up, and we see him chanting Baekdusan! Heaven lake! with every step. Seriously, I admire the guy. He looked dead beat from the start of the whole Baekdusan special, but somehow he managed to hang in and get to the top. You have to admire that perseverance. MCM fighting! LSGuen and EJW are not having a great time either. LOL, EJW's pants are SO SHORT! I almost mistook them for girl shorts MCM proceeds to go on fours in his effort to keep up.
LSGuen: Finally the monkey features (of MCM) come out!
MCM: Its easier/more comfortable to go up this way!
EJW: We're not even halfway through the halfway mark yet! Let's hurry..
Zoom back into LSG. [?] What's he doing with that white tub?
LSG (panting): Ah.. ah.. suncream! suncream!
HAHAHAHA!! This cute boy with his whitening regime. What can I say?
VJ: Rest a moment before going further.
So LSG stops to give them a rest, and starts introducing the sights again.
LSG: When you looks at that, it looks like the bungee jump!

Finally the guys arrive at the tunnel leading to more stairs, and their challenge officially begins. They've completed 1/20 of their journey, and whats to come next are stairs that are of maximum 70 degrees! Now THAT'S really crazy! But they have no choice, off they go. And along the way we see people sitting down at the side, further attesting to how difficult the climb is.
LSG: Wow, this is really too much. Hyung! Hyung! Its more comfortable (to go) four footed!
EJW: People (humans) DO NOT walk four footed!
captions are funny here for kHD [What humans..] [just let me live..] He starts climbing with both hands and legs too.
KHD: Its really more comfortable to go four footed!
Here the VJs are obviously having the toughest time, bent 90degrees from their carrying their load of equipment at the same time. Hats off to them. Without them, there'll be no 1N2D. I really salute them for their spirit.
As usual the baby boy of the group seems to have boundless energy and runs ahead of his hyungs.
LSG: Yah everyone! (go on) two feet mode! (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!)

080706 Baekdusan 1N2D Part one

2008-07-08T23:29:00.000-07:00

The episode is crazily long this week! But I enjoyed it. Will be coming back to buff this up as and when I'm done with some of it. Its really long, and it'll take me some time to listen and type their convos out, but I'll try my best! The music they used for this episode is really the best, nice and fitting for each scene. I even heard a few chinese orchestra pieces that I used to play (when I was still active in the orchestra in high school), which brought back really great memories. What can I say? I love the show (and our boy too, of course )

Alighting from the ferry
All right, so the boys have finally reached China after a gruelling 19 hour boat trip. They arrive at the ferry terminal, and there are LOTS of Chinese fans waiting for them already (I've always been curious, how do these people know where and when to go welcome their idols?) The six guys are greeted by screams of OPPA!!~~ from the Chinese fangirls while heading off to the bus.
LSG: End of disgusie, end of disguise! (er, so the hat was supposed to be a disguise? Ah, LSG you are so cute sometimes.)
KHD: 1N2D!!
LSGuen: (We reached) Safely!
MCM: CHINA!
EJW: We got off the boat!! (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!)
The boys gather in front of a map and start showing us where they are headed to. Now, they have to take the bus, through Changbaeksan maek (长白山脉)
KHD: So how much time will we take?
The other guys: 19 hours!
KHD: How much time?
The other guys: 19 hours!
KHD: We're setting off today and will reach tomorrow, 19 hours.
LSG: We ARE taking 19 hours right?
KHD: Yes, that's it. We'll set off quickly, and get to Yongjong, where we'll do some sight seeing and spend the night there, and its then off to Baekdusan.
And so they set off to Yongjong by bus.

On the bus
LSG: Wah... We are REALLY on our way (to baekdusan)! (laughing) Hyung, why are you going around barefooted?
Caption [Feeling as comfortable on the bus like as if it were my home] ---> LSGuen
They look out of the window and start commenting about the sights. I'm not too sure, but it seems like they then started talking about how they (as south koreans) can't travel back and forth the border (to north korea) even when they are living basically in the same country, but people from other countries can just do so with a valid visa. Correct me if I'm wrong.
They start feeling sad.
EJW: My mom's hometown is Pyong Yang. My grandfather, during the 6.25 battle, accompanied my mom and aunt and came to Namcheok..
I think KHD asks EJW if he still has any relatives there, and EJW says he's not sure.
LSG: But I think that was to be expected back then (there were many cases like that).. My grandfather's siblings are still living there (north korea?)
They all look really wistful and a little sad here. I think its a feeling that we will never understand unless we've been through it, being so close to your relatives, but yet not being able to see them as you wish, with so many barriers in between. Its tragic.
PD: Do you see the wire barbs?
KHD: Yes, yes, we see it.
PD: Its the (national) border.
The guys get all amazed at the close proximity they are to the border, and LSG comments that they are just around 30-50m away from it.
PD: The people you see working on the fields here, they are all North Koreans.
The guys are amazed again, and comment on how close they are, within the grasp of the hand. They then see a few tradtional korean houses on the way, and some people of course.
LSGuen: Yah! There's a person there! There!! SONGSAENGNIM! (meaning teacher)
MCM: Ah, it'd be great if we could move slowly (so that they have more time to take in the sights)
The conversation then takes a turn and they start discussing a little bit of history, which I won't go into. KHD though, said something that I thought was really nice. He commented that they wouldn't have been able to see all that they saw on the bus ride had they taken the plane, and it was really the right choice on the PD's part to make them take the ferry to China. Its true isn't it? They may have complained about the tiring journey, but I'm sure what they saw on this stretch of road, they will remember for a long time.

Amnokgang, the Yalu River
KHD: Jiwon ah, we're gonna see the broken bridge!
They arrive at the bridge that's broken halfway. A little info on it from wikipedia: The "Broken Bridge" was built in 1909, (but) it was bombed and partially damaged in the Korean War around 1950 and has not been reconstructed.
LSG: It's intact (in good condition)
MCM: Where does it end?
And the captions say [they see cheonhwakhi (broken bridge) now] [the Amnokgang bridge that is broken] [their faces stiffen] [and they all can't say a word] [they get off the bus for a while]
So they all get off the bus to tour the broken bridge. It was quite touching, the entire scene, I guess I don't have to explain much. KHD made all of them jump over the line, and they all started running towards the end of the bridge.
LSG (exclaiming): Woah! There's Sinŭiju!
MCM: That's Sinŭiju?
LSG: Is it really 100m (away)?
They seem to be all really affected on seeing the sights before them. Notice how parallel to the broken bridge, there's another bridge that runs intact to North Korea. That's the ONLY bridge left connecting the two countries, and is one of the few ways to enter or leave North Korea. Apparently trains run there daily. Wow, this is one big history lesson for all of us..

Back on the bus
The guys are back on the bus and hungry, and so the PD passes them some Chinese stuffed pancakes.
LSG: PD, thanks for the meal.
LSGuen: This is the most tasteless thing I've eaten in 2008!
EJW starts singing Adios, LOL! And here's the infamous smoking incident fro MCM too. Anyway, this time round, the PDs pass them chinese crullers. They're kind of like dough fritters, and are commonly eaten with soya milk as breakfast. They're neither sweet nor salty, but they're really yummy when eaten with coffee, tea or soya milk, and I eat them pretty often for breakfast (even though i live in Singapore, they can be found here too )
LSGuen: I'm not eating it..
EJW pops a piece into his mouth.
EJW: I'm not eating this!
HAHAHA! Guess they're just not used to the taste of it. These dough fritters have their historical background, but I'm not gonna go into it. Let's just say without anything to go with it, it CAN be pretty tasteless.
This time, the PDs bring out corn, and EJW goes WAAA! Haha, they must have been real hungry.
KHD (in the background): Oh man, give us rice to go with it (the corn), rice..
EJW happily digs into his piece of corn, but...
EJW: How can corn be this tasteless??
Two hours on, the guys are in various states on unconsciousness on the bus. LSG has his jacket over his head (to block out the sun I guess, HAHAHA!), KHD has this unknown thing covering his face and his mouth wide open. They zoom in on EJW, who is somehow resting his head on his shoulders. Four hours on, KHD is sleeping uncomfortably. He soon wakes up at the sound of the brakes, and cleans his eyes, and glares at the cameraman. The small red captions go [What's with this camera!] [If it comes this close to film me] [my face is gonna appear REALLY BIG!] HAHAHA!!
KHD: We are travelling and travelling, but we don't seem to be at the end of it.. China... Ahh.. the journey is really long..
LSG: (waking up) Where are we now?
KHD: We have 20 more hours of travelling, so... just go back to sleep again!
LSG starts groaning.. KHD starts examining MCM and EJW in their sleeping states. LSguen passes them a banana, which KimC stuffs into the sleeping MCM's mouth and wakes him up. The captions are funny! [What's this..] [Oh, my meal is here!]

3 verse poems
The guys start playing the game to pass time, starting with a groaning KHD.
KHD: Baek- we've been driving a hundred metres and the car isn't stopping, and I wish to pee so much that I'm dying. Du- We've slept for 2 hours and the car isn't stopping.. San- we're going to the mountain..
I'm not sure about the meaning of the verse LSGuen made, but I heard the last verse, his phony chinese accent and all. He was saying we're going to the mountain.. FUNNY!! It totally cracked everyone up

Dinner
Seven hours on, they get off the bus and cook some ramen for dinner.
KHD: IS THERE RICE? Rice! I want rice!
HAHA, the big guy starts yelling out all the different kinds of rice. "Isn't there any?" NO, KHD! You are in the middle of nowhere, and so there's no rice for you, not at all!
EJW: Seung Gi yah!~
LSG: Yes?
EJW: Come over..
EJW walks out trying to pretend to be a monk. And he looks, the part, with his shaved head LOL. then they start play acting again, EJW and LSGuen as the monks and MCM as the monkEY. hahaha. The music they play here is kinda wrong too, haha its an orchestra piece that is usually played in celebration of a bountiful harvest (haha, I played it before!), but who cares, it suits the mood. LOL, ans MCM starts screaming, to which KimC throws him a banana. LSGuen then starts knocking at MCM like a monk would on a muyu (a type of chinese instrument that monks play) and acts like he's blessing the monkey, hahahaha!! The monkey throws the banana skin at the monk in fury
The water has finally boiled, and the guys get down to eating their noodles.
EJW: We'll be fine if we eat this on the way to Baekdusan... We ARE going to Baekdusan aren't we? Don't tell me we are actually at Baekdusan already and don't know it?
EJW starts questioning if they are really headed to Beakdusan since the journey seems to be taking forever, with no end in sight, haha. KHD then goes in search of more food from the staff, where he is chided (seeing that the staff are actually eating the same stuff too).

Ghost stories on the bus
Ok, from what I gathered, Chayouroh is a place, and the Chayouroh ghost story is pretty well known and was discussed on an episode of Sang Sang Plus before. Just google 자유로귀신 and the images will explain more than I will be able to in words here. Let's just say its a creepy girl with empty eye sockets.
MCM: Who has seen the chayouroh ghost?
KimC: The one with no eyes?
LSG: Its the one that's quite well known.. is it real?
EJW: It's a lie! I've been to and forth there for so many times at dawn and I've NEVER seen it even once!!
LSG: Me too, I haven't seen it even for once. But the truth is there are people who have seen it.. You do know the Chayouroh story right?
PD: Whats the Chayouroh ghost all about?
LSG: You don't know? If you go to Chayouroh and look, there's this girl who wears sunglasses, and it keeps drizzling when the cars pass by. And when you stop and go near to find out why (she's standing there alone with sunglasses on), her eyes will go "BONG!"open (and all her eyes are missing)!
Camera zooms into LSGuen. Migosh, his expression was scary! I think KimC starts telling another version of the story, apparently experienced first hand by his best pal Yoon Do Hyun.
KimC: YDH was on his car, on his way back home, and there was absolutely nothing all around him (and he couldn't see anything since it was dark anyway) on the road. While he was all focused on the road, there was this girl who suddenly appeared from the field on the side, and then disappeared into the field again.
MCM jumps out of his seat to demonstrate, which promptly elicits a small scream of terror from one of the PDs (who can't be seen onscreen)
MCM: (to the PD) What's wrong with you?
KimC: After a while, it came out on TV (I'm assuming he's talking about the Chayouroh ghost story being publicized). He had no idea where the place was before that, and then (when the program came out) he realised the Chayouroh place was near the place where he saw (the strange sight of the girl).
PD: So she went on an excursion to Chayouroh and to Nunpadak..?
[multiplayer Chayouroh ghost!] HAHAHA! The captions are SO funny!
MCM: Wait a minute, so going to Chayouroh..
When MCM is speaking, KHD suddenly screams, as a prank. MCM and EJW are all shocked by his exclaimation. Meanwhile..
LSG: Ahh.. my tears are falling..
[Seung gi is.. Crying?] [Why exactly?]
LSG: No, I'm not crying.. the tears are just coming out.. When you hear something scary, don't your tears fall?
But the others don't care and keep talking about ghost stories. Captions [But all his hyungs continue with their ghost story telling] ---> HAHAHA!
LSG:Ah.. I can't ever go to Chayouroh.. How am I even supposed to go to Ilsan?
KimC: Have you heard of the SokChogondo story?
LSG: What's that? I go to SokCho often..
KimC: Over there, there was some university students who went there for an outing. One of the guys realised he left his wallet in the mountains and decided to go get it back (alone). The remaining five people decided to just stick around and play. The guy who went off to get the wallet was called Seung Gi. After that, they waited for around an hour, but Seung Gi didn't come back.
LSG: Oh my goodness, why are my tears falling again.. I'm going crazy..
KimC: While waiting, they notice Seung Gi standing outside the window himself. He just kept staring at his girlfriend and asking her to come over (my goodness, KimC looks SCARY here).
KHD: Goodness, this is really scary..
Someone (I can't make out who says this) says: KimC makes it sound so realistic!
MCM: KimC hyung is really scary..
KimC: Seung Gi was holding some newpapers in one of his hands, and with the other he kept motioning for his girlfriend to come over. His girlfriend saw him and said "Hey! There's Seung Gi!", her friends kept telling her, "He seems really strange, don't go over!" But its her boyfriend there, and no matter what the friends say, its just natural for her to go out to him. So she went out, and her boyfriend just grabs her by her hand and starts running wildly. After that, when they are a safe distance away, her boyfriend shows her the newpaper, where the headlines read "University students on holiday killed in bus accident", with the faces of their friends all there. So their friends are actually dead!
[Seung Gi crying again?]
Haha, everyone starts saying LSG is crying again, and he sits with his legs curled up in front of him He keeps saying he's not crying though, and the captions are really funny [The one with a weak heart - LSG] [his face is all messed up with tears!]
KimC: Seung Gi is crying, oh, how, what do we do?

LSG's nightmare of the year
Caption [While replacing the tapes]
LSG is listening attentively to EJW, who is talking about seeing ghosts.
EJW: When we see scary things, its actually our minds at work. When you look at it, if there really are ghosts...
KHD decides to lay down and show his head to LSG, and scare the living daylights out of the boy.
LSG: (gets a HUGE fright) AHHHHHH!!!!! Stop it, really!! Ah, really!
KHD gets a kick out of it and giggles madly.
KimC: Oh, he's really getting angry now.
In the background, EJW (I think, not sure who it is) starts mimicking LSG, "AHHHHHH!!!!! Stop it, really!!" They all laugh at LSG, and he gets a little calmer after the shock.
LSG: Tell me an interesting story! A funny one.
EJW: Ah, let's just listen to ghostly ones..
KHD: (Points to the seat in front) Hey, look, there's someone in that seat.
LSG: Ah, there's no one here.
KHD: Look properly, there IS.
LSG: Aieee, there isn't, really.
KHD: But there is..
LSG: Really there isn't. There's no one there. (Asks the cameraman) There isn't anyone right?
KHD still keeps insisting in the background that there IS someone in the seat.
LSG: (in a really serious tone) NO!!!
Captions [S.E.R.I.O.U.S]
KHD: Ok ok, I get it. Don't be s serious, don't be so serious!
But... KHD slyly lies down again when LSG is looking elsewhere. And when he turns around, he SCREAMS really LOUDLY (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!) The captions here are hilarious, it goes something like [Seung Gi is in a ghost house It'd be a great day for him to do bungee jumping!] KHD meanwhile, is gasping for breath laughing at LSG.
KHD: Woah.. that was the BEST reaction!
LSG: It's REALLY scary, if you see it (KHD's FACE) from below.
PD: Please do it again for us!
[S.C.A.R.Y]
Next, KHD uses tissue to scare the boy.
LSG: AHHH!! Ah, stop it please, really. Really, please stop it!
I thought he was going to cry from all the scares, haha. Well, at least KHD did something right. LSG took off his darned hat after all that scaring While he's doing that, LSGuen lies down on the floor of the bus next to an innocent and unknowing LSG.
LSG: I'm not going to Baekdusan anymore, really, I'm not going to Baekdusan anymore!
KHD keeps perstering LSG from behind, and he turns to look at KHD, only to be scared by LSGuen who's lying on the ground, and he yells REALLY loudly again.
LSG: AHHHHH!! REALLY, STOP IT PLEASE!!!!
Captions [How many times have they done it to him, but he's scared AGAIN]
They do a replay of the moment, ending with a screen shot of LSG, mouth wide open, and the caption reminds us of his striking resemblance to scream in this scene. [His shriek looks like SCREAM]
LSG: Oh man, I'm really usually not so weak.. oh..
KHD: Let's turn off the lights and sleep.
LSG: (settling into his seat) Oh please don't turn off the lights.
KHD suddenly puts his face in front of the boy again. Of course he gets a scare, AGAIN. Hahahaha. This time he grips his head in utter despair and goes yet again, "Really, please stop it!"
[he hasn't been scared slightly even once in 18 years - the hicupping LSG teacher.] --> LOL
While driving..
KHD: Seung Gi yah, sing a song..
LSG: A song? (starts singing a blues version of Vacation)
KHD: Close your eyes and totally drown yourself in the feel..
LSG obediently closes his eyes. KHD sticks his face in front of LSG in the meantime, ready to scare the boy again.
LSG: (about to go into the chorus) 메..AHHHHH!!!
LSG finally lies down from all that repeated scaring. He starts singing 그래서 어쩌라고, unplugged. (wow!)

2008-07-03T05:43:00.000-07:00

Ok, finally to this week's 1N2D. Many many many many funny moments! I was watching it over breakfast and had to stop halfway because I was afraid I would send my food down the wrong pipe laughing.

Baekdusan!
The boys start chattering excitedly about their trip to Baekdusan, and in the middle of the discussion, EJW gets LSGuen to demonstrate how their trip to China might turn out.
EJW: Take this line (on the floor) to he the national boundary between the two countries. This (Sang Guen) is the military dog. (to Sang guen) Sit. Sit. Sit. Sang Guen, sit! (to LSGuen). Ah~. What matter do you have here?
LSGuen starts muttering unintelligibly in his fake chinese accent and gesturing. EJW pretends to understand and salutes to LSGuen while LSGuen goes "BYE BYE!~" and walks off, leaving the rest of the guys to giggle their heads off.

The guys start then giving their thoughts on the trip, to which KimC very sweetly says bye to his daughter onscreen Its EJW's turn next.
EJW: Everyone is curious about Baekdusan and wants to see her quickly, but I'm more concerned about the ghosts that live in the mountain (i think he's talking about the ghosts again, LOL!) I'll make sure I take a photo of them. I will definitely take a photo and I will definitely make sure all our audience sees it. (HAHA!!~)
KHD asks EJW to make the face he will show the mountain ghosts and mean dooly eun cho ding surfaces again. Goodness, the guy is so funny!
KHD: Alright, and now..
LSGuen: I... ...
LSG: (laughing) Why are you not even calling his name?
LSGuen: Alright, I'm 'and now'! (everyone starts laughing madly at how LSGuen jsut adopted two random words as his name) My grandfather used to think of going to Baekdusan while he was alive. Now I'm going and I will come back well (to complete his wish).
KHD: Ahh!~ Your grandfather's hometown? (Where is) his hometown?
LSGuen: His homeown is in (KyungGido) Yang Peong.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is left speechless. They start going on at LSGuen at how he made it sound like as if his grandfather had some ties with Baekdusan when it wasn't the case. LOL. He's a funnyman!

At the ferry terminal
PD: Have you ever taken a boat to go overseas?
LSG: Take a boat to go overseas? No! I only saw it in movies. (HAHA! this somehow reminds me of the strawberry-supermarket comment he once made)
KHD: We should do a bow for us to have a safe trip and return safely.
MCM: (in utter annoyance) ?? Ah, what bow? We have to go now!~
KHD starts protesting behind him.
MCM: All right, then we'll do it! Hyung, stand by the side. (to the staff) Does anyone have a man won (10,000 won) note?
He digs out a note from one of the staff member's wallet, and stuffs it up KHD's nose! I have no idea why he did that. Someone on the 1N2D thread said its customary to bow to a pig's head, which i think may be the reason. Lots of Asian cultures have this practice, maybe the koreans are no different. Even though I found it funny, I thought it was a little rude and disrespectful to do so, not only to KHD, I mean, money is currency that represents a country after all. Shoving it up a senior's nose just doesn't sound like the right thing to do. Still, I understand that its all in the fun and to create effects for the show.
LSG: Hyung, rest your head here (on the luggage).
The four guys then start bowing to KHD, who desperately is holding in his laughter. Funny! EJW was missing from this scene though. Wonder where he went. To wish for luck in meeting those elusive mountain ghosts maybe? LOL.

On the ferry
LSG brought this really HUGE luggage this time round, which he apparently had some trouble lugging around, LOL.
LSG: There are so many stairs around! Phew! (pushes his large bag into the resting area) WOAH! Is this where we are gonna sleep? Can't sleep because of all that snoring.. (ahh Seung Gi, we all know that)
KHD: (looking at LSG try to settle his huge luggage) You are hiding someone in your luggage aren't you?
LSG: (still struggling with his luggage) Haha! No I'm not.. i'm still thinking of who to fit in and haul to Baekdusan.
KHD: Ah, just your girlfriend or something..
LSG: NO!~
Then the guys head out to the deck.

Feeding the gulls
The guys are all on the deck, super excited about their trip!
KHD: (to jiwon) Hey, Dooly blown by the wind! Do a dooly face in the wind! (lifts Jiwon's shades) Here, Dooly resisting the wind!
OH MY GOODNESS! The dooly face here has got to be the BEST out of the many Jiwon has shown us these days. It was HILARIOUS!!
KHD: So over there we are able to see our famous Incheon bridge.
Apparently the bridge is still under construction, and the guys marvel over it
KHD: When this bridge is completed, where does the boat go to get to the other side then?
EJW: Between the gap (from the bridge to the sea)
LSG: No look, its really tall! (the captions say that the bridge is 74m tall)
Well, then the guys start discussing the bridge fast forward all the discussion and they see a bunch of seagulls hover over them. KHD gets the idea to lure the seagulls onto his shoulder, and asks if there are any crackers available. Meanwhile the other guys are all VERY excited and keep screaming that the seagulls have arrived, LOL. Someone passes them some crackers and they start feeding the birds. They're HILARIOUS when trying to feed the birds. The first to try was MCM, and everyone was screaming "THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING!" and when the seagulls really did peck at their crackers, everyone just went mad. They were so pleased with themselves when the seagulls took their crackers! So KHD asks the dooly to feed the birds.
KHD: Here, here here dooly!
EJW: I'M SCARED!!!! (puts up his hand, and the seagull pecks at the cracker)
Then LSGuen tries to attract 4 seagulls at a go by putting a cracker on each of his fingers (what a goofball!), while KHD gets creative and decides to get the seagulls to kiss him. BUT... the seagull rejects eating the crackers from his mouth! LSG decides to try it too, except that he uses an entire STACK of crackers instead of just one like KHD.
EJW: Seung Gi yah, if we look at you from the side, you look like the seagulls too! (referring to the crackers looking like the seagull's beaks, HAHA!!)
Someone helps LSG lure the seagulls at the side, and down swoops one of them to peck at the crackers. Everyone goes crazy again, especially KHD, who lets out a loud SEUNG GI YAH!!! and proceeds to lift the guy up.
LSG: I thought my jaws were gonna fall off!
That marks the end of their feeding session and its back to their resting area for the guys.

1N2D butt dance
The guys are all back at the resting area, sitting down and going through their luggage.
MCM: I've prepared something!
KHD: What did you prepare?
MCM: (leaning over to grab a big white bag) I've prepared sleep clothes (pajamas) for us. I went to the shop to get them made.
KHD: It has our faces on it?
MCM: For yours hyung, I think you look coolest when you are wrestling (ssireum).
He pulls out KHD's shirt and it has a young KHD's face on it, the KHD who was still a wrestler. KHD then gives an absolutely funny expression, like half in agony and wanting to kill MCM, and half wanting to laugh out loud. LOL! After everyone has gotten their shirts, MCM announces that he has pants for them too.
MCM: Look at this (the pants). It looks normal and ordinary on this side. Ok everyone, say 'One two three'.
Everyone else: One. Two. THREE!!
MCM: (excitedly, trying to hype everyone up): ONE NIGHT, TWO DAYS!!!~~
But... the guys have no reaction! EJW slaps MCM with his shirt. After which EJW is the first one to excitedly put on the pants. He then pokes his round and cute butt out with 1N2D written on it, and proudly exclaims '1N2D!!!', which amuses the other guys to no end.
LSGuen: When the china people see this (the pants) they're gonna think we mended our pants! (HAHA!! LSGuen is FUNNY!~)
Everyone cracks up at the 1N2D mended pants joke. Seung Gi decides to try on the pants too.
LSGuen: You try 1N2D (the butt exclaimation) too, Seung Gi yah.
LSG: Haha, me?
LSG tries, but his version of the looks flat, not like EJW's full and round version. KHD complains and asks LSG to do it like EJW, and asks EJW to do a demonstration. LSG gets frustrated and promptly tucks his shirt into his pants, which draws laughter from the other guys. He then shakes his butt around, which makes them laugh even harder. LOL! Our LSG is so cute sometimes. LSG decides to be funny and wears the pants the opposite way so that the words come out in front instead of at the back. After that EJW proceeds to give a mini tutorial on how to poke you butt so that it comes out in a nice and round fashion. FUNNY! The six guys decide to do the butt 1N2D greeting together once.
KHD: Ok, let's try it.. (to LSG) Why are your legs always stretched out??
They discover that LSG's legs are always pointing outwards when he does the butt greeting, which is wrong since the legs are supposed to be parallel to each other when doing the pose, and they figure that is the crux of the problem, LOL. After that, they all do the butt greeting together, and are promptly led to feel VERY embarrassed when they see an old lady peeking in from the window at them.

Dinner
EJW: They are all not koreans here, right? Their accents sound strange.
Staff: (speaking in korean) We are Chinese.
LSGuen: Ah. How many of you are Chinese?
They reply that all of them are Chinese. Really, the chinese staff on the ship speak and understand korean really well even though they have a strange accent. So much better than me!! The guys are all amazed by the chinese staff who can speak korean so well.
MCM: Do you know me?
Staff: Yea. You're MC Mong.
LSGuen: How did you know that he is MC Mong?
Staff: We watched Love letter..
MCM: Love Letter.. ah, so you would know me and KHD. Is KHD famous in China?
Staff: Yes.
KHD makes his grand appearance, clapping his hands. He asks about the staff and gets to know that they are Chinese.
KHD: Do you know who I am?
Staff: Yes..
KHD: (laughing away merrily at the thought of being known by foreigners) How is it that you guys know me?
Staff: Love letter...
KHD then settles down to eat dinner and after that, they start to play games.

Games
The guys are asked to do the mandatory dance for the girls to aid them in the couple selection (if you have watched love letter before you will understand this section), starting with MCM. LSGuen is next and he does an absolutely side splitting peppershaker-sneeze dance, which amuses all the girls. LSG is up next, and he does his bounce dance again. You can see one of the girls smiling really happily at him. Next up the girls have to dance, and KHD decides to have some fun after that asking the girls to vote who they think is the best looking out of MCM, LSGuen and KimC.
MCM: (groaning) Ah, hyung whya re you ALWAYS like this??
KHD: (to the girls) Everyone. (This is) Number 1, number2 and number 3. Please vote for who you think is the best looking out of the three, raise you hands if you want to vote. Ok this is guy number one. Please vote.
But... NO ONE VOTES FOR KIMC!! KimC turns and hugs the pole behind him in embarrassment. Ahh. Feel so sorry for KimC. He may not be goodlooking but he's really a great guy at heart.
KHD: Ok now, this is number two(LSGuen). If you think he's good looking please vote.
EVERYONE votes for LSGuen!!!!! Of course the guy is happy to no end, and he does his hilarious sneeze dance again. No one votes for MCM too, and KimC is so happy that MCM in in the same boat that he screams YAY! LOL. So LSGuen is number one in the girls hearts. HAHAHA!
The couple selection is next.

Couple Selection
KHD: Have you made your decision? Is there your have an ideal type (of guy) here?
Female staff 1: Yes, there is.
KHD: Ok.. You can start now!~ Fighting!
She goes off and bows to KimC first. After walking around a little, she stands behind LSGuen, BUT! Her final decision is LSG!! Haha, LSG looked really happy to be picked!
MCM: Lee Sueng Gi.. Everywhere we go he's always the most popular.. (isn't it true? the baby of the bunch is really popular with most people, isn't he?)
They continue with the couple selection.
KHD: If you like LSG (and want to choose him), then grab his other arm ok? If you want to choose LSG. Its ok, you can do it. Understand? Ok, ready... go!
Female staff no 2 walks behind KimC (which makes him really happy, LOL!!). However, the girl makes her decision very quickly and puts her arms around.. LSGuen! He was so happy, lol. KHD then asks female staff no. 3 if she has a person in mind and she says yes.
KimC: She looked at us!! (him and MCM)
KHD: Ok, ready...GO!!
Female staff picks EJW!! Haha, EJW's reaction to this was so funny. He started imitating the dance that the girl had done earlier on.
KHD: Why do you like EJW the most?
Female staff 3: I saw him on one of the korean programs I've watched on the boat.
KHD: Why do you like Lee Seung Gi?
Female staff 1: I met him for the first time today.. first sight (and he attracted me)..
KHD: Ah.. so its the feeling at first sight?
Female staff 1: Maybe..
KHD: Ahh, so its the feeling at first sight.. (to LSG) wow.. you are really great!
LSG: (shyly) Ah, no, no..
KHD: (to female staff 2 who picked LSGuen) Why... Why is it like this? (HAHAHA!! the way he asked this was REALLY funny!!)
Female staff 2: I really like interesting (and funny) people!
The caption reads "One word.. Because he's funny!"
LSGuen: (pointing in KimC and MCM's direction) They are not interesting (or funny), and their faces are not good looking either..
MCM and KimC look really anguished at LSGuen's remarks.
KHD: Ok, these two ladies are doing a public service (for MCM and KimC, LOL!!!) Ok.. Is there someone you like?
Female staff 4: Yes, there is.
KHD: Is the person you like already part of a couple?
Female staff 4: Yes, he is.
MCM and KimC turn to despair. That means they are not going to be picked, no matter what. MCM starts walking forward.
KHD: MCM, go back to your place. Don't interrupt(obstruct) the program!
Female staff no. 4 then proceeds to choose her guy. She just totally sidesteps MCM and KimC haughtily, and the captions in purple say "Move off!" And she picks our dear boy LSG! LSG looked really shocked that he got picked and he kept asking "Me? Is it me?". Such a cutie. I didn't like this particular female staff though. She gave off a weird vibe. Maybe I'm just sensitive Anyway, its time for the last female staff to pick her man.
KHD: Do you have a boyfriand?
Female staff 5: No, I don't.
MCM: You know, when i used to be on loveletter, I was REALLY popular (with the ladies)! I even got 3 votes once!
Captions: Who is he trying to tell this to? (Who is he trying to kid? )
MCM: I can go take a short nap and come back again later right?
The girl then goes and makes her choice. She picks MCM! He was ECSTATIC.
LSGuen: (gesturing to LSG's side) Here, just get one (girl) from here. Because she's the best sister. JUST GO TO THE OTHER (kimc) SIDE!
LOL, his reason is so random!
MCM: Oh man, I really want to cry (in happiness at being picked)
KHD gets the two girls who chose LSG to step out.
KimC: Out of the two of them, the one who loses (doesn't get chosen by LSG will be my partner?
KHD: Ok, so there are two of you ladies here. The one who doesn't get chosen by LSG will have no choice but to partner up with KimC. (asks the girl) What if you do not get selected by LSG?
Female staff 1: Well, but there's that person there anyway(gestures to KimC)
I think EJW then tells LSG something like your personal affairs are really uncomfortable, meaning that LSG is in an awkward position. Can't really make out what he was saying.
Female staff 1: (to LSG) Don't feel burdened, just choose as your heart tells you (ah, the girl is nice!)
LSG chooses the nice girl! Then KimC walks out to lead the other girl away in a really funny manner, like some lecherous male patron. FUNNY!!

Games
KHD tells the rest that the best couple will get ice cream as a present, as well as signed CDs. We start with the KimC couple. For convenience sake, I'll just call the girls they are playing the game with their partner and i'll put the word they have to describe in a bracket. The game is simple, they get the chinese girls (who presumably don't speak korean as well as the guys) to describe the word that is flashed and the guy has to guess it. They have 60 seconds for each round.

KimC couple
[panda]
Partner: Pass!
[Bruce Lee]
Partner: Ah.. In China, a famous kungfu..
The funny thing is she pronounces kungfu as 공부gongfu (which is how its pronounced in Chinese), and that actually sounds like study in korean
KimC: Kungfu? Bruce Lee!
[pig]
Partner: A fat... animal! Bulgogi (beef)! Seum kyup (?) meat! (a kind of pork dish)
KimC: PIG!! PIG!!

KimC: FART!
[braggart]

[Prince sickness] ---> commonly used in korean dramas to refer to someone as thinking too highly of himself and acts like a prince, which comes off as really irksome. Female equivalent is Princess sickness.

KimC: PRINCE!
Partner: Ahh, it hurts!
KimC: Princess sickness!
Partner: No the opposite one!!
KimC: PRINCE SICKNESS!!
[Kang Ho Dong]
Partner: (points to KHD)
KimC: (shouts IMMEDIATELY) PIG!!!!!
Its time over. OMG I fell off my chair laughing at KimC's last answer. His automatic response to her pointing to KHD was to shout 'PIG!'. The best part is that one of the previous questions already included pig, which he guessed correctly! FUNNY!!

His partner tells him the vegetable is yellow
LSGuen: Tomato! Melon! PASS!!!!
[jajangmyeon]
Partner: Cold noodles.. it looks like jajang colour..
LSGuen gets all confused, haha. Then he gets frustrated and screams PASS!! The next word potbelly gets passed too.
[makeup] ---> makeup is called hwajang in korean, and toilet is called hwajangshil, where shil means room. So it literally means makeup room..
Partner gestures to the toilet
LSGuen: Hwajangshil! (toilet)
Partner: No, its two words..
LSGuen: Suh byun! (piss)
Partner gestures again with her hands to her face.
LSGuen: Makeup!
[love]
She does the heart action
LSGuen: I love you!
Partner: No, two words!
LSGuen: Heart!
The girl starts talking in chinese again, saying that there's two words.
LSGuen: (mimicking what the girl said) Liang ge zi? (meaning two words). Second love? Love?
Times up! KHD gets LSGuen to try conversing to the girl in chinese. LSGuen mutters something unintelligible and gestures wildly.
Partner: 你会游泳吗？ (do you know how to swim?)
LSGuen pretends he understands and starts gesturing wildly again, LOL!!
KimC: Why are you getting so angry all of a sudden?
LSGuen: (repeats the chinese phrase) She's saying I'm really short!
KimC: No, it means do you know how to swim!!
LSGuen: Oh, really? I could have sworn it was her saying I'm short..

LSG Couple
[ayegyo]---> to act cute/turn on the charms
Partner: Pass!
[Bibimbab]
Partner: It's something you eat...
LSG: Bab? (rice)
Partner: Yes.. there are two more words in front of that.
LSG: Jajangbab? Bibimbab!
[Bae Yong Jun]
Partner: He acts in movies... Ah, what was that battle programme he acted in called? (referring to BYJ's The Legend drama) Something Wang.. (the drama is called Dae Wang Sa Shin Gi in korean, so she only remembered the character that represented King)
LSG says something i can't make out. But anyway, its not the right answer.
Partner: Pass..
[lizard]
Partner: Oh man, what's this? I don't know this! Pass!
[oppa]---> brother (used only by females on males, can also be used to refer to your boyfriend)
Partner: How should i call you? Like just now...
LSG: Ah! Dong seng? (younger sibling) Oppa? Oppa!
[monkey god]
Partner gestures to pass the question, and LSG makes a face, LOL!
[tadpole]
Partner: Ahh, its so difficult! I don't know! (gestures to pass)
[extra terrestrial / alien]
Partner (turning behind and asking in chinese): What does this word mean?
Everyone starts laughing, and KHD asks LSGuen to step in and do some translating/explaining. LSGuen comes forward and does a hilarious set of actions while muttering gibberish in the process of trying to explain to her what is an alien. FUNNY!! After the game, the girls mention that they didn't know what 올챙이 (tadpole) is.
MCM: Before it becomes a frog..
The girls: (finally understanding the meaning) AHH!!!~~ 蝌蚪！(read as ke dou, means tadpole in chinese)
LSG: What did they say, is that the equivalent (of tadpoles)?
LSGuen then proceeds to explain with his phony chinese what 올챙이 (tadpole) means. Notice when he was explaining, he stuck out his legs, which made everyone laugh into pieces. Its funny because he was trying to explain what a tadpole was with this korean nursery rhyme, in phony chinese of course. Go to check out the nursery rhyme. You will understand why its so funny after watching it.

EJW Couple
[monkey]
Partner: Its an animal.. (makes a monkey action) Looks like someone here! (she says someone presumably because she can't remember MCM's name)

Partner: Pass.
[thief]
Partner: This is a person that the police catch..
EJW: Eh??
EJW gets confused here because his partner's pronunciation isn't accurate. Police in korean is pronounced as kyung chal, but the girl says jing chal, possibly because she got it mixed up with the the chinese equivalent, which is pronounced as jing cha.
Partner: (pronouncing wrongly again) Police..
EJW: (guessing what she means) Police?
Partner: The person who they catch.
EJW: The person who the police catch? The person who the police have to catch? Thief?
Everyone is amused at how EJW manages to somehow get this right. EJW is a smart kid all right. The last question is frog, but the time is over before EJW's partner gets to explain it.
KimC starts protesting at the absurd way EJW managed to get the police question right against all odds.
EJW: Aieeee, I just thought of it from her point of view! (smart kid!)
So the dooly EJW couple wins the game

Bedtime
KimC plays the guitar while LSGuen sings along. KHD and LSG look on in awe, and when LSGuen is almost reaching the end of the verse, KHD says "Chinese version!" and LSGuen ends it off with his phony but funny chinese accent again, which leaves LSG and KHD in stitches. LSGuen decides to sing Baby One more Time in his phony accent, together with some ET finger touching finger motion. FUNNY!! MCM gets interested, and he sits up and says "Baby One More Time, the idiot version!" He rolls up his pants at the ankles and starts doing a silly dance, slapping himself until he falls onto the ground. The PD comes in to talk to them
PD: Today is your first day, so just sleep early, so that you can save your energy and strength..
KHD: Oh yes, ahh, we will take your advice.
PD: But there's a piece of bad news... We were originally scheduled to reach at 9 am tomorrow, but the captain just informed us that we will reach at around 11 am instead.
KHD: Which means we will be on the ship for 19 hours.. (to which the PD says its closer to 18 hours.)
The guys proceed to have fun in the night, singing at 11.20pm, admiring photos at 11.30pm, playing chess at 12am, watching TV at 1am, chess again at 1.30am, PSP at 2am, washing up at 2.30am, Tv at 3am again, until they finally fall asleep. Gosh, these guys sleep later than I do! I'm usually knocked out by 2.30am the latest.
The next day the guys wake up and join the captain to marvel at the sight, after which they give some insight into their thoughts, and its off to wait for this sunday's episode!

1N2D 080622 Trip

2008-06-29T00:54:00.000-07:00

Great episode again as usual. KHD is DA MAN!!! 6 consecutive rounds of wrestling and he beat them all! Woah~ Was nice of him to do the laundry even though it was obvious he was beat. Gotta really love these guys.

The mass shower
So the guys are done washing the clothes and want to take a shower. I can totally understand why, it must have been so horribly sweaty and sticky after the football game and all that washing. While trying to wring the uniform dry, MCM called LSG over to help him wring the uniform together, to which MCM starts turning around while wringing the clothes dry. LSG decides to copy what MCM does and follows suit. But being huh-dang seung gi, he OF course turned the wrong way. MCM's expression when he saw LSG turning the wrong direction was priceless. He was just staring at LSG with a ??!! expression and couldn't say a word! It was kind of a stunned and shocked silence peppered with amusement. Funny! So he told LSG that he turned in the wrong direction and they try again, this time successfully. KHD then decides that its time to wash themselves.

KHD (asking the producer): Can we shower here?
LSG: But the cameras are all here...
KHD (to the cameramen): Please leave us for a minute. We want to take a shower.
But of course they won't leave the guys alone without a camera, and the producers leave a camera in the bathroom. So the six guys start standing in front of the camera to check that they wouldn't be recording anything that isn't PG. After they've confirmed that basically nothing much but the upper half of their bodies can be seen, they proceed to take off their shirts and shower. KHD comes in front of the camera to show the small scratch that he got on his chest from the wrestling match earlier on and LSG moves over to take a look at it too. After exclaiming "Wah!~~", LSG just abruptly walks off and LSGuen walks over to have a look at KHD's chest. And we find out why our boy walked off..

LSGuen (suddenly): Aish!! LEE SEUNG GI!!!! Why are you peeing!!
MCM: Ahh!! LEE SEUNG GI PISSED!

LMAO!!! These guys really love to over react to everything and anything!! I was going at their conversation. Too much information! Haha, alright, so now you guys know our perfect little boy does answer the call of nature, and he doesn't bat an eyelid at doing it in front of his dear hyungs. Seriously, we've been discussing so much about the little traces here and there that we see of the brotherly love between the six of them, but i think this really takes the icing on the cake. You really have to be VERY comfortable with someone else if you are just going to randomly pee i the middle of nowhere

KHD: Viewers, LSG's upper body.. semi nude!
LSG walks over to the camera and starts posing. Meanwhile the captions say that they can't see anything because the camera lens has misted over. And i think KHD uses LSG's undies to wipe the mist off the camera. I'm not really sure, since I haven't been learning the language long, but LSG says something like 재 팬티로 닦으면 어떡해요?, which i think means 'How can you use my panties to wipe (the camera)?' Ahh, Eeqeeuzee help me out here will you? Sometimes i get confused by what they say Oh by the way, this is really random, but i've always found how koreans refer to their undergarments in general as panties amusingly wierd. To me panties are a subset of undergarments and not the whole of them.. PLus i kind of think the word panties should be used exclusively for female underwear? LOL. maybe its just me.
Anyway, so LSG continues to pose for the camera while MCM is at the side with his antics as usual. LOL, MCM is really cute sometimes. Oh, and the captions said that LSG has a great body and i agree I'm quite sure a few of us here are together on this point.

In the bunk
Nothing much happens here, the guys just go to the army boys' bunk and start chatting up a storm with them, asking them to send their regards to their family through the show, and then they start opening a few lockers to explore the stuff in there. I noticed that their lockers are really nice, with different compartments that are big and roomy, not like the tiny and cramped army cabinets my guy friends are using now (In Singapore its mandatory for the boys to enter army at 18 for two years. My korean teacher says for korean guys, they usually enter the army in their second year of university, which puzzled me quite a little since there are so many celebs going in at age 30..) Before KHD started digging around in the guy's lockers, he started asking this guy some questions.
KHD: Do you watch 1N2D often?
Army Boy: Yes I do.
KHD: Which is the most interesting program in Korea?
Army Boy: ... 1N2D.
KHD: So who do you wish to see most?
Army Boy: (after a long pregnant pause) ... KHD ajusshi (ajusshi = middle aged man)
KHD starts cracking up after that because the guy actually called him ajusshi. LOL! The first locker that they explored was boring and empty, so KHD just slammed it shut it (haha!) and moved on to the second one where there was a picture of the guy on the locker. Apparently it was taken of him when he was 20, one year ago. So they were discussing the guy's age, and it turns out he's a 87 baby like Seung Gi, and they were commenting on how different their lives are now. ( I can't imagine if LSG has to leave for army, I think I will suffer from serious LSG live performance withdrawals...) Anyway the funny thing is that they were exploring the guy's locker, and they dug out a calendar from his locker which has a '쭝 생일" written on it, meaning Jjong's birthday.
Army Boy: Its my dong seng's (sister) birthday.
KHD starts questioning the poor army guy whether it really is his sister (or girlfriend), and EJW points out that Jjong is written all over the calendar, a dead giveaway that the 'sister' is a girl he likes and not his biological sister. EJW can be pretty sharp when he wants to be! So KHD starts bugging the guy, asking him whether he loves Jjong, and asking him to confess in front of the camera. At first the guy is really shy, and he says he doesn't like her, and KHD starts his interrogation.
KHD: Do you like her or do you love her? Do you like her?
Army boy: I'm CONCERNED about her..
KHD: (relentlessly) Do you love her?
Army boy: (has no choice but to admit) I love her.
KHD starts getting all excited about having forced the confession out of the shy guy. He asks the guy if he has anything to say to the girl and he says he hopes to see her. Aw, it must be so sweet to have a guy confessing on national tv on your favourite program that he likes you Anyway, they move on to the third locker, but before they can open the locker, all the army boys dashed out of the room after hearing a command shouted. And BOY, they did dash out FAST! In less than 3 seconds the entire soom was cleared out, leaving the 6 guys all bewildered in the room. LOVED the question marks that came out on the screen during this scene ????? It totally reflected the astonished expressions on their faces, like deers caught in headlight. Their expressions were PRICELESS. Even the usually disinterested looking EJW looked shocked. So the 6 guys followed the army guys out, and it turns out they are having some night drill thing. What happens next pretty much speaks for itself, I think I don't have to explain much. I found it really cute and funny how LSG looked so excited, amazed and shocked by the entire process When KHD was asking if it was a real life situation, LSG was like going "Surely not? Surely not? Aiyee hyung what are you talking about man??" LOL, he looked like a terrified little boy, and the second round of firing had him covering his ears and almost falling onto KimC, and the screen captions said "MOMMY!!~~". Actually, to be more accurate, ALL six of them looked like terrified little boys huddling together, not knowing what is going to happen next. After the whole thing, they find out that the person doing the Vulcan firing is the shy boy who made his love confession earlier. Jjong's man! KHD was screaming away "Are you watching this now Jjong??" LOL. I love the spontaneity of the show!

Back at KBS
So the trip has ended, and the guys are gathered at KBS for a 1N2D meeting. KHD arrives first, after which he leaves the meeting room and EJW comes in. EJW really acts like a small kid sometimes, the first question he asked when he went in was "Oh, am I in first place?" haha! Anyway, the PD tells him KHD arrived first and EJW goes out in search of KHD. LSG then arrives and starts sort of complaining how they have to come back at 12am, after which LSGuen, KimC and MCM arrives. I found the part where MCM and his manager coming out of the lift really funny. The lift door opened and the two of them were just totally surprised and stunned for a second. MCM quickly regained his composure and swaggered over to the camera with that evil smirk on his face while his manager was still really confused behind him. And when his manager regained his composure, if you look carefully enough, he nearly got caught by the closing doors of the lift while walking out. For some odd reason, that totally cracked me up. The meeting then starts with them talking about how the ratings for 1N2D have stayed consistently high and hasn't fallen under 40% (its ridiculously high isn't it? just goes to show how far the program has come with the 6 guys), to which the six guys stand up to thank the audience. This part was funny cuz the staff sitting behind were all nonchalantly watching the 6 guys when they stood up, and KHD turned back to chide them "What are you guys DOING??!!" in the middle of his thank you speech, which made them snap up instantly. After the whole thank you speech, KHD and MCM started doing their whole bowing and thanking the audience routines. KHD kind of just shoved MCM aside to hog the camera to say "Dear viewers, I really love you. Oh teachers, I love you!" HAHA!! KHD and his teachers who seem to be everywhere. LSG hears this statement and mutters "Man, there really are so many of those teachers". LOL at his wisecrack. MCM then yells at the staff "WHY AREN'T YOU CLAPPING??!!" haha!

Anyway, after that the PD officially announces they are going to Baekdusan and there are some hilarious moments when they discuss the trip details and KHD starts acting all surprised about the trip.

Baekdusan 1N2D team meeting
The guys are done thanking the audience for the continued support for the show, and they all calm down and settle down for the second half of the meeting, where the most important things are going to be discussed.
PD: Everyone. Our 1N2D team is going to BAEKDUSAN!
KHD then goes OOOOOOHHH!!! with a totally exaggerated expression, big round eyes, big opened mouth, the works.
LSGuen: (totally calm and unsurprised) Eh. Yea.. of course we are going.
Everyone starts laughing and the screen captions go "WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT IT~~!" Our LSG was then going excitedly on about how they had been already been bugged by the PD for their visas, passports and stuff and so they can't possibly be ignorant to this piece of news. And he was also going on about how they've been bugged so many times for the photos to be used for their China visas, and exclaims how KHD's acting is really superb, while all the other guys are laughing themselves silly. KHD does a rerun of his expression of exaggerated surprise, which has even the PD laughing himself to bits. EJW then mentions how there were so many news articles online dedicated to this 1N2D team going to Baekdusan issue, so how could they all fake ignorance (like KHD, LOL!) After that they played a mini introduction for the guys trip, and we return back to their discussion.

EJW: How about Sang Guen? (You can really tell that the guy loves that dog. He's always playing with it and concerned about it.)
PD: Because Sang Guen will have to be quarantined if he goes..
EJW: (in a very concerned tone) He's not going??
I think EJW then starts going on about how there's a world of difference between their situations, while they have to go BDS, Sang Guen gets to stay home, which again cracks everyone up. MCM suggests that they take a plane to get to BDS, which would them take 3-4 hours to get to China. The PD was like, do you actually think we will be taking the plane?
MCM: We are taking the boat? AGAIN??! Like how we got to Jeju?
BINGO! The older guys all start sighing.
PD: The boat is going to take 16 hours to get to China.
The guys look like a bomb was dropped onto their heads. 16 hours on a ship/boat is really crazy! KHD starts questioning the PDs on why things are going this way, while MCM tries to reason the PDs out of this crazy idea by telling them how hard it would be on the cameramen to lug around the equipment for 16 hours on the boat. Of course the PDs are not changing their minds on this! After they calmed down a little, the PD proceeded to tell the guys that they would have to take a bus for another 19 hours after the 16 hours on the boat, and the guys go crazy. 16hours+19hours=!!!!
LSGuen suddenly asks "I'm not going to have to drive the bus, am I??" HAHAHA!! He has plenty to be worried about since he's kind of the in house driver for the 6 guys. And the episode ends here. So looking forward to the episode for tomorrow! Oh yes, there was something i found really wierd in this episode too. The PD said 16 hours on boat and 19 on bus, which should add up to 35 hours. But the trailers at the end of the episode said they took 45 hours to get to the place. I'm lousy at math, but I'm pretty sure i didn't calculate 16+19 wrongly.. Let's see about this in tomorrow's episode.

1N2D 080615 Soccer&wrestling match

2008-06-19T08:38:00.001-07:00

A mobile job is sure tiring. I'll be sorry but also glad when it ends next week. So many things happened this week, and I was going up and down on an emotional roller coaster ride. As usual, I hate changes, but what can I do in face of them? Just accept and move on grudgingly, I guess. Well, on the bright side, my meeting with my 한국어 선생님 to be in 2 semesters time was really great! It sure is nice to hear her reassurance that my level of understanding of 한국어 is more than passable, but there's still so much to be learnt, I think. Well, at any rate, things are good and bad, as life always is. Luckily there's always people around me who are supportive and encouraging. And I love the people on soompi! They're so nice. Alright, here's the translations for this week's 1N2D, taken as usual from what i did on the LSG soompi thread.

Watching them play soccer this week made me really happy! It reminds me of the endless late nights I spent watching the World Cup over the years, and the occasional game or two that I play! OHMYGOSSSHHH, I am falling harder for LSG after watching him play in the soccer game! His footwork is pretty nifty for someone who probably doesn't have too much time to play often, and I was so fangirling away when watching the match. Sure, the footwork, passes and saves (man, just look at KHD, LOL) aren't anywhere near professional standards, but it was such a fun and exciting game to watch nevertheless! I was rooting for the 9 member 1N2D team (duh!), but awww, they lost! LSG looked every bit the dashing hero playing around with that pole. And he's FINALLY shown those muscles he's been hiding under those layers and layers of clothes! It was quite a sight to behold, his cute boyish face + muscular arms + impish grin. Odd combination, but it works, since he's dearie 허당LSG. A living paradox!

Ahh, there's so much on 1N2D this week that I have no idea where to start! Well, a lot of the parts are pretty self explanatory, especially the games, so I guess I'll just skim over that and write about the funny parts. LSG's bungee jumping (more accurately his inability to bungee jump) has been discussed by so many people to death, and everyone seems to have a different take on it. Well, i can only say i think LSG was rather affected by the entire incident too, since he was practicing how to bungee jump (LOL!) and his little conversation with the PD in the morning was also quite revealing of what he felt.

At night
So the guys have searched for their base camp, parked their car and got off. Here, the merry making starts. Our dashing hero Iljimae brandishes his weapon, lo and behold, a stick! Nearby, a flute sounds, played by a mysterious LSGuen who hides behind his hat.
LSG: Are you the legendary taewondo master of Korea?
LSGuen: My father died holding a grudge. And blood will spill when I avenge him today.
*prepares for battle* Dashing hero and takewondo 'master' both flaunt their ability to twiddle a pole. With a loud scream "I'm coming!", the battle starts, and i'm expecting an exciting fight. But... taewondo master starts limping towards his enemy! I laughed out LOUD at this scene. LSGuen wins hands down, and the fight remains PG and family friendly. Ahh, such a comedian, LSGuen. The rest of the stuff that happens next speaks for itself. KHD just goes around tricking people with that pole, thoroughly enjoying himself, and eventually breaks the pole between MCM's legs. At first I didn't get why they were laughing so hard, until i saw that broken pole. Goodness gracious! LOL. LSG also shows us how totally random he can be, which i found hilarious! He was so nonchalantly practicing his bungee jumping (off a 'platform' that is hardly more than 15cm tall!! ) amidst all the laughter when MCM was invited to kick that pole by KHD, like as if it was the most natural thing to do next to breathing. LOL!!! KHD and MCM tried to team up and get MCM's manager to fall for the whole kick the pole trap, but the manager says he's seen everything. And then he turns into a flasher for a split second. OMG, it was too funny! I just looove how the 1N2D editors make use of music and sound effects to achieve extremely effective comic timing, like in this case. Its almost become the show's unique feature, in my opinion.

Of course we all know they randomly decided to start filming the 1N2D version of Godfather, where two timid guys face off four tough gangsters. The whole thing was so funny! Now we know gangster MCM's idea of scary is to hold up an iron plank to whack someone, only to drop it behind him because its too heavy. HAHA!! So KHD, EJW and MCM were like extorting KimC and LSG, and the show is just about to get exciting when Godfather LSGuen turns into grandfather and yells "HEY!! I'm going back first! Its too cold." LOL!! And so the whole mafia story was ended because grandfather LSGuen was too weak to withstand the cold. Funny!

Dinner
As usual the 6 guys are negotiating with the PD for food. The terms that the PD offers do not please KHD, so he produces his mafia sidekick, EJW to speed up the negotiations.
EJW: THERE ARE 6 PEOPLE HERE NOW OK! You should give us 3 packs of ramyeon, 3 packs! The gray mullet (a type of fish) still hasn't been able to be digested you know? (he says this in reference to the fish that MCM caught previously)
Haha! The PD eventually gives in to EJW's mafia power. They are given 3 packs of ramyeon, rice and of course, kimchi. They then start discussing about where to sleep. The PD tells them that they will have to sleep in the camping car, or just outdoors anywhere they deem fit. KHD asks the PD "Oh, so there are tents (prepared for them in the case they decide to sleep outdoors) right?" The PD said incredulously, "Its summer, what tents (are you talking about) man?!" EJW protests and says "I have a half coat on now!". Its quite true, even though its summer, it still looks pretty cold there, and sleeping without a tent is surely not too enticing for them. Goodness, i can foresee the 6 guys are going to have to go through a lot of in the weeks to come, considering the PD's attitude Anyway, the 6 guys then happily start cooking their long awaited dinner. In the process, we find out that LSGuen and EJW are really still kids at heart, and they start play acting and role playing.
LSGuen: Boss! Boss! Why isn't my hamburger here yet?
EJW: Hamburger?
LSGuen: I ordered it some time ago! Why isn't it here yet!
EJW: Please wait a moment, wait a moment. (produces a frying pan 'hamburger') That will be 2000Won.
LSGuen hands him wooden chopsticks 'money'.
LSGuen: Boss! Why didn't you give me the hamburgers?
EJW: I gave it to you! Look you even paid me! (brandishes his 'money')
LSGuen: What? When did i give you money?
This time LSGuen gives him tissue money and asks for the hamburger again. EJW asks him to wait a moment, and comes back telling LSGuen that he's run of hamburgers and replaces it with tissue 'toast' in a cup. LSGuen accepts it, and asks EJW to serve him some sweets. And EJW gives him some tissue 'sweets' in a cup and throws in some instant coffee as a service (a freebie). LSGuen starts counting out his tissue money again and asks for cola this time. LSG walks over and tries to stop LSGuen from playing with the tissue paper and LSGuen chides him, saying "What tissue paper? This is money! Ahh, this person. Why do you think money is tissue?" ahh, what a childish duo, LSGuen and EJW!! The funniest part of this entire play acting was at the end where LSGuen asks EJW for corn (maize) tea, and EJW hands him a BIG bottle of corn OIL. Oh my goodness! I was just staring open mouthed and laughing at their childish but oh-so-funny antics.

Bedtime
Fast forward, and they're done eating dinner and are preparing to sleep. LSG trying to get on the bed but almost falling was endearing. Our dear boy is really a very adorable and cute klutz. LSG and LSGuen exchange clothes here, and boy, LSG is really a clothes hanger. Almost all clothes look good or at least halfway decent on him. Anyway, they prepare to sleep, and here LSGuen gives an UTTERLY HILARIOUS news broadcasting and goes on to give a commentary on LSG-EJW-KimC's bungee jump. I wish there was some way I could translate his whole commentary to give full credit to the humour in his speech, but its really impossible to do so. Basically he's speaking in korean, but with a very heavy accent such that it sounds foreign. The captions say that he's trying to mimic a mainland chinese accent, but the actual accent he spoke with is much closer to the chinese dialect Cantonese. It was really really really amazing that he managed to make it sound so close to the dialect while still speaking korean, and its really funny! LSGuen really managed to get the accent down very well! He then went on to mimic a Japanese accent and even counted in Japanese. My goodness, this guy is really really funny!! No wonder the other 5 guys were laughing their heads off.

All right, so the lights are off and the boys are all having fun listening to the late night radio chinese broadcasts, with DJ LSGuen giving a belated commentary of that infamous bungee jumping incident. KHD comments that it feels like they are really tuned into a chinese station, and i couldn't agree more. The 'chinese song' that LSGuen sang was utterly hilarious too. And with that, the day draws to an end, and our 6 guys sleep peacefully for the rest of the night, until day breaks again.

Hijacked camping car
Its early in the morning and the 6 guys are sleeping soundly. KHD snores and EJW replies with snoring too. So funny! They are sleeping so soundly that they don't realise a mysterious figure has stealthily crept into the driver's seat, preparing to drive them off to an unknown destination! Their camping car has been hijacked! I found it kind of wierd that the PD had to get in from the right door to crawl into the driver's seat. I mean, couldn't he have just used the left door? LOL. Anyway, he drives off the camping car with all of them still sleeping. As usual our light sleeper LSG wakes up looking really confused at what is happening, and the caption read "Why is the car moving?" The captions were really hilarious!
LSG: Who are you? (Caption reads 'Is this a dream?')
He doesn't wait for the reply to know who is driving the car and falls back to sleep, and the caption reads 'I'm seeing things in my dream.' LOL!! So the PD continues driving and deliberately starts honking, presumably to wake the guys up. Eventually KimC and LSG do wake up.
LSG: Oh my! Why are you suddenly driving?
PD: We are going to get two of you guys to go on a selected sightseeing tour, so we are going over to the place now.
LSG: Two of us? (captions say 'Its ok if it isn't me...) He then starts tickling MCM's feet to wake him up, and when that fails, he elbows MCM in the knee. So cute, LSG! LSG keeps trying to wake MCM and tells him the car is moving, but MCM just ignores him and hugs LSG, which i found soooo adorable. MCM then sort of wakes a little to see who is driving, but groans and falls back and continues to hug LSG and pat his back (and the captions say its ok, its ok, LOL!!!) like a big brother comforting a younger brother. Awwww.. their brotherly love is so lovely and cute! Then again, someone HAS got to fart and spoil the moment as usual. Haha!! So LSG gets up once and for all this time, and begins talking to the PD.
PD: Do you want to go sight seeing, Seung Gi?
LSG: Its not even certain who will do the sight seeing now, what are you talking about.. I can't even bungee jump.. I will work hard.
The two of them then start talking about the infamous bungee jumping incident.
PD: Given another chance, do you think you will be able to jump?
LSG: Another chance? Hmmm. I think I might be able to jump at night. But if you ask me to jump in the day, I don't think I can do it.
PD: What did your parents say after watching it (the bungee jumping)?
LSG: They didn't anything to me..
Ah, LSG was playing with his nails while saying that and he really looked quite dejected. Can't help feeling sorry for the poor boy, he seems to be really quite bothered about not being able to jump. Anyway, he goes to the back of the car after his conversation with the PD in search of some food, but he finds none, and laments how the stuff has all been eaten. He's cute in his waking up moments! His messy hair, dazed look and all. Oh and i have NO IDEA how EJW survived sleeping with KHD. He looked like he was squashed completely by KHD and I'm rather surprised he didn't suffocate, LOL. So they got to the pier and it was time to pick two of them to go on the boat trip for 'sight seeing'. As usual, the ones who picked the dreaded kanari would have to go on the boat. I found it pretty amusing that EJW and LSG got picked. The two who couldn't bungee jump. It was sweet of the other guys to give the two of them jackets to wear on the boat. And LSG was so funny when the boat started to move off and he realised he didn't have his sunscreen lotion with him. He just suddenly stood up and screamed "Sun cream!!!" to the others on the shore On the boat LSG and EJW start complaining about how ridiculous it is to send them onto the boat without first giving them breakfast, and that they were hungry. Is anything new? They are ALWAYS hungry, these two boys. What happens after that is pretty self explanatory, they just joined in the kanari catching. LSG was like a little boy, asking many questions, talking a lot, being amazed by the kanari and staring in open eyed wonder at the kanari.

I think that's about everything, the rest is just them playing soccer and wrestling. Oh, speaking of which, the captions for the wrestling match between LSG and the big army guy was too funny for words. HEO-DANG VS TERMINATOR. LOL!!! I nearly choked laughing at the caption, it really captured the essence of the match quite well. Looking forward to KHD's first match in 20 long years!! The ex-champion returns on 1N2D. Woo!!

hard to accept

2008-06-15T08:23:00.001-07:00

it is really sometimes hard to accept, but i have no choice, do i? at some point of time, this will happen and its not just limited to friends, if you know what i mean.
maybe i should have trusted my sixth sense. i kind of knew this was coming, but i didnt know it would happen so fast and suddenly. its selfish, but part of me wishes that it had never happened. i dont want us to potentially grow apart because now we are in different worlds. now i know how silly of me it is to scoff at those disputes on tv dramas where the BFF sets an ultimatum. it is really hard to accept in the beginning, especially when it means you'll be left behind and alone. i have played my part in helping, and now that the dream's materialised, i should be happy for them, shouldn't I?
추아해요, 친구야. 꼭 행복해요..

Translations for the first half of this ep, taken from what I did in the Soompi thread. Be back for more later this week. Congrats to 승기오빠 on his successful return to 뮤식뱅그! The 여행을 떠나요 performance was smokin'! (even though the key was lowered for some strange reason). Ah, so much to celebrate this week, and I finally snagged a not-too-bad paying vacation job. Life can be good! Even though this is a day late, 은지원씨, 생일축아해요!! 은초딩 파이팅! Funny wouldn't be funny without our dear 은초딩. Hope the hair grows out soon, the buzz cut really adds to his years.

I MUST say that i absolutely adore 1N2D for their spontaneity. Next week the guys are going to play soccer with some army guys they met on the way. Looks fun!

On the boat
The six guys are headed off to Baengnyeongdo this time, and they're taking a boat to get there. First they head out to the deck to check it out.
EJW: Actually I'm a little worried about today..
KHD: Why?
EJW: Its 2 days 3 nights..
MCM: Shall I go 'take care' (of the crew) for you then? (take care as in go whack them or something, lol!! MCM is so funny!)
KHD: Ah, its ok..
MCM starts making mean faces, which cracks KHD up totally. Apparently MCM is trying to act like a despicable cad (in line with his 'taking care of the crew'), and KHD covers his face so that he can do it one more time for the camera.
MCM (making a mean face): Are you going to change your channel now? CHANNEL?
LOL, KHD is so amused that he asks Iljimae (well, LSG of course. I was a little surprised KHD called him that.) to try too. But LSG's version doesnt look mean at all! Then the guys start complaining that he looks good and cute instead of mean, to which they ask MCM to demonstrate the mean face again. After that KHD tells the viewers last week we saw EJW the dooly (둘리 - its a character from a cartoon, a baby dinosaur) and this week we will see the mean dooly. So EJW joins in the fun too together with MCM to make weird faces and KHD falls on the floor laughing at them. Funny!!

Multiplication table game
Back in the boat they of course decide to play a game (I think the winners get to have snacks), and so they team up, KimC-MCM-LSG vs KHD-EJW-LSGuen. KHD gets picked to go against KimC and so they start the game. Basically the game involves multiplication tables, and KHD fails miserably on his 1st attempt. He answers that 3X7=36, and LSGuen exclaims about how embarrassing it is that KHD doesnt even know his multiplication tables and that someone should call Baeksang (presumably to inform them how their award winning host is such an embarrassment and take away his award,lol). Thus, MCM, LSG and KimC run off to buy their snacks, and LSGuen remarks that 4X7 is not even 29, how can it be 30+..? While the 3 boys are buying their snacks, LSGuen and KHD start playing a 'most ridiculous answer' version of the multiplication table game.
KHD: 3X8?
LSGuen: 1364! 2X9?
KHD: 400. 3X7?
LSGuen: 640. 2X8?
And the screen flashes 'they're fools..' then KHD and LSGuen decides to play the multiplication table game by punning on the words.
KHD: 6x3 = building (63 building)
LSGuen: 2x9 (ee gu) = ahna (the whole thing will sound like Iguana)
2x8 (ee pal - it sounds like this arm in korean)= gypsum (as in plaster of paris, meaning its in a cast..)
he's actually quite smart to come up with the multiplication table puns on the spot! really funny guy, Mr comedian LSGuen.

The PD decides to give KHD another chance to answer 5 multiplication questions, and they start again. LSG suddenly cuts into their conversation.
LSG: Hyung, can you try this again first? 2X1 is 2, 2X2 is 4... (asking him to practice his multiplication table of 2!! Haha, sneaky old LSG..)
KHD laughs in bitterness, and MCM joins in the teasing. The PD then proceeds with the game, where KHD answers the question wrongly again! The only question KHD managed to answer right was 4X8, haha! They then get LSG to practice playing the game.
KHD: 7X6?
LSG: 42
KHD: 8X6?
LSG: 48
KHD: 8X4?
LSG: 32
KHD: 9X7?
LSG: 63
KHD: 7X6
LSG: (hesitates) 42
KHD: 3X8
LSG: 32
KHD: 7X6?
LSG: Why are you asking this again? 42
KHD: 6X7?
LSG: 42.. 7X6 and 6X7 is actually the same you know?
And they change sides, LSG does the asking this time.
LSG: 3X3?
KHD: 9
LSG: 3X7?
KHD: 21
LSG: 3X8?
KHD: 24
LSG: 3X9?
KHD: 27
LSG: 3X1
KHD: 3
LSG: 3X2
KHD (his face starting to change): 6
LSG: 3X3
KHD: 9
LSG: 3X4
KHD (bites his lips): 12
LSG: 3X5
KHD (trying to contain his laughter): 15
LSG: 3X6
KHD (now feeling really embarrassed and practically spits out the answer): 18
LSG: Ahh, you know all of the multiplication table of 3! After you practice your multiplication table of 4, we will start again, ok?

LSG just keeps on asking KHD questions from the multiplication table of 3. KHD realises this, as well as the fact that LSG is doing this to make fun of him, and KHD makes a face that was really really hilarious! Ahh.. Seung Gi is getting really cheeky these days! Naughty naughty to make fun of KHD like this.. anyway, the guys fall asleep after this, and they get woken up by the PD to choose a person to get off the boat to go catch fish and earn money. LOL! Poor MCM gets sabotaged for the job, to which he starts yelling his manager's name and drags his manager into the job too.

MCM's fishy job
MCM and his manager had to go catch fish to earn money for the six guys, so they got off earlier to do the job. The whole process was hilarious! MCM kept asking his manager whether he was ready to run and throw the huge green fishing net into the sea, and when they finally started running, MCM tripped over something and fell! But that wasnt the funniest part, the funniest thing was that MCM's mananger suddently exclaimed that his pants got torn! And the tear was near the crotch area, so he was grabbing his pants in a rather unsightly manner. Well, they tried running into the sea again, and this time MCM kept falling over because of the waves. He gave up and ran to the shore screaming that it was really cold, and started piling the warm sand all over himself. LOL! MCM's manager then yelled that the tear in his pants had gotten even bigger! While MCM was busying covering himself up with sand to warm himself up, his manager ripped two holes in a pink sack and wore it as makeshift pants. FUNNY!!! MCM later caught a fish using a basket, and both he and his manager was sooo happy about it! LOL!

Thanks to happy sunday, i'm back to blogging. Even though its just translation for now, maybe i'll start penning (or typing for that matter) the millions of thoughts that keep swirling in my head. When i have the energy to deal with them..

4th anniversary

2008-06-04T03:55:00.000-07:00

승기오빠! 진심으로 추하드립니다! 파이팅, 오빠!

Wow, I'm really late. Then again, better late then never. Even though its been only 5 months, still going strong. Salute to those on Soompi who are also in this with me. Happy 4th year anniversary! Hope there are many many many more years to come, 승기오빠! 우리 영원히 사랑해!~

I didnt want to blog about this in the same entry, but I guess it doesnt matter anymore. It was supposed to be a special day for me 2 days ago too. Time has realy done wonders. If not for me logging onto FB, I wouldnt even have remembered the significance. Things have really faded away, tucked away in a small corner never to be unearthed again.

On a happier note, happy 4th year anniversary!

Its 1N2D again!

2008-06-02T03:36:00.000-07:00

Continuation from last week's bungee ep. This week has plenty of LSG moments, and its really funny to boot. Just a quick summary here, what i posted om soompi. Will be back to beef it up later this week.

In the bathroom
MCM: Why is the hot water not working?
LSG: Oh, why's it not working? Was it not working from just now?
MCM: I'll just get the water from here.
And he picks up this cup and starts splashing water on his head. Its really funny, the bathroom scene, the two of them look like they are bathing to prepare to take a mugshot or something. I think LSG tries getting the hot water out from the shower again after that and he succeeds and realises its because they turned the shower knob the wrong side or something, and he says something like 'look the hot water is totally hot!' Ahhh.. so funny! Then MCM just starts doing his whole shampoo hair routine for the camera while LSG is gargling shower water in the background after that, and nearly chokes on it upon hearing one of MCM's wisecracks. This was really a classic scene..

While preparing to sleep
LSG shares his skincare routine with MCM. The whitening part made me think of the episode of Sang Sang Plus where LSG was a guest and he mentioned how he cares most about the whitening part in his skincare regime. I guess he knows as well as we do that maintaining a pretty face takes a lot of work, not to mention products LSG then mentions something about how its time to sleep but he cant sleep. Just at this time, the PD passes him something.
LSG: What's this? Wait a minute, what's this again~!!
The PD pushes a piece of paper and an inkpad across to him, while he just stares open mouthed at them. Flashback to the bungee platform where LSG sells himself out.
LSG: Aiyoo, suddenly i feel so tired
And so he lies down and pretends to snore, cute!! But he suddenly gets up again and mutters to himself something like "I really dont know what the police are doing.." Ah, LSG is so funny grumbling about his being exploited. So he starts writing the contract, and MCM steps on the piece of paper he's writing.
LSG: Hyung, this is an important time for me!
MCM: Why?
And he continues to write the contract, with MCM at the side all confused about what he's doing (since he wasnt up on the platform with them then.) LSG completes his contract and starts scribbling furiously on another piece of paper, while KHD and LSGuen are in the background enjoying the eggs they just boiled. Enter KimC beside LSG.
KimC: What did you do wrong again? A contract for 5 generations?! Hey do you know what it means to be bound to the contract for 5 generations?
LSG: Exactly..
KimC: If its 5 generations, it means until your children's children's children's children!
Oh this conversation had me rolling on the floor. I love KimC!! His laymen's explanation for 5 generations was so side-splitting! Anyway, LSG finishes his scribbling on the other piece of paper and it turns out that he was writing EJW's contract (the 50 years thing).

LSG: Hyung come here and sign this.
EJW: What?
LSG: We have to sign a contract remember?
EJW: Its not me!
LSG: Aiyee, let's just do a double together!
EJW: WHAT?!
LSG: Its like we're a couple (smiles.. aiieee... that smile totally melted me into a puddle)
EJW: WHAT? Yah, its not me! Aiiee, really Seung gi yah, why's it me again?!
LSG: Look at this. Its a ridiculous contract (refering to his own copy). Look at mine. Hyung, yours is not too bad (in comparison).
EJW: But why is this mine?!
LSG (totally ignoring EJW's question): Yours is a contract for 50 years..
EJW: Why is my contract written by YOU?
LSG (continuing to ignore EJW's question): You'll have to film 2 episodes a year and some special events..
EJW: This is not a contract. You have to include quotations for pay and stuff to make it a contract. There's no mention of money in this, just what I'M going to do only.
LSG: So this is a promissory note?
EJW: Yea, its a promisory note. Why would I agree to do this? Are you mad?
LSG: Oh yea.. this isnt a contract... (captions say he's really.. Heo-Dang)
EJW: Like i've told you before.. The words of your elders are never wrong. So dont go around everywhere signing things again in future.
LSG: Yah.. Hyung your IQ is really 160!

For once our Cho-ding becomes the wise one, and LSG is still as clueless as ever. Gosh, their exchanges can be so hilarious sometimes.

LSG's 1st practice marriage
While in the middle of playing the game, a small girl walks up to LSG with a piece of paper for him to sign, and the guys go crazy behind him.
KHD: Give Seung Gi oppa a kiss!
(little girl kisses him) aawww~~ sooo uber cute!!!!
KHD: Give a kiss to me too! Me too!
(little girl looks horrified)
KHD then asks everyone to sit down and gets the little girl to run to the one she likes best. No surprise, she heads right for LSG.
KHD: Do you want to marry LSG oppa?
(she nods) and KHD starts the practice marriage ceremony
KHD: Groom LSG, will you love the bride forever?
LSG: ...Yea!
KHD: Bride, will you love groom LSG forever?
(she nods) and so the two of them bow to each other and give a 'love-kiss'. LSG then offers the little toddler his arm and the two happy newly-weds walk down the aisle to complete the ceremony! Only in LSG's case, he's waddling like a cutie duck down the aisle with his bride. Haha, LSG's really come a long way, hasnt he? from charming those noona's out there to becoming a cradle snatcher. Ahh, this must be my favourite part of the whole ep. So so so so cute! Kids really seem to love him, whether its a boy or girl, dont they?

Back in the car
KHD: Tired, Seung Gi yah? Are you tired? Look at this then. (holds up LSGuen's 'nude' shot)
Everyone starts laughing.
EJW: Seung Gi yah, are you tired?
LSG: Yea, I'm tired.
EJW takes off his specs suddenly and makes a face that cracks up KHD and LSG totally. ahhh, our eun cho-ding is really so cute sometimes. KHD loves the face EJW makes so much that he asks him to pose for his camera, and keeps giggling at the picture he took saying that its really cute, even kissing it at a point, which really shocks EJW. Haha!
