The members of SEVENTEEN gathered around the table, the atmosphere buzzing with anticipation as they prepared for the next round. The tension from the previous rounds lingered, but there was also an undercurrent of excitement.
Dino, always the optimistic maknae, voiced the collective determination with a firm, "We can do it." His words served as a rallying cry, boosting their morale as they readied themselves for the challenge ahead. The room was filled with the familiar sounds of laughter, light-hearted banter, and the occasional exclamation.
[Round 7]
PD Na, ever the efficient host, wasted no time as his eyes landed on Mingyu, the first in line for this round. With a slight nod, he showed the picture to Mingyu and began the countdown, "1, 2, 3."
“Paik Jong Won,��� Mingyu answered confidently, his voice strong and assured. The members erupted in praise, their trust in Mingyu’s ability paying off.
[100% accuracy so far]
"You got it," PD Na confirmed with a small smile before swiftly moving on to the next in line— Luna. She leaned back slightly in her chair, her posture relaxed but her focus intense. The picture was revealed to her, and PD Na began counting down once more, "1, 2, 3."
“Yoo Jae Suk,” Luna responded without hesitation. The room filled with the sound of clapping and compliments, a chorus of “Good job!” and “Nice one!” echoing from all sides.
[Another Ace]
“Correct,” PD Na acknowledged, his approval clear as he moved on to Dino. The youngest member leaned forward, ready and waiting as the picture was shown to him.
"1, 2, 3."
“Suzy,” Dino answered quickly, his voice full of confidence.
“Good!” Dokyeom exclaimed, his excitement palpable as he clapped enthusiastically for Dino’s success.
Without a moment’s delay, PD Na moved to Seungkwan, the next in line. The picture was revealed, and the countdown began, "1, 2, 3."
“Yang Sehyung,” Seungkwan answered with absolute confidence, standing up as he did, a wide grin spreading across his face.
“You got it,” PD Na confirmed once again, and the group continued to cheer for each other, the atmosphere thick with tension and excitement.
Next in line was S.Coups, and as the picture was shown, the rest of the members all started muttering the answer to themselves, a collective whisper that filled the room. But S.Coups seemed to struggle, the pressure clearly mounting as he tried to recall the name.
"1, 2, 3…" PD Na counted down, and S.Coups, visibly flustered, stuttered, “Song… Song…” But it was too late, and he fell to his knees in defeat as the members around him groaned in frustration, their collective shout of the correct answer nearly deafening.
"Yoon!"
[All together]
Seungkwan and Jeonghan, who were seated on either side of him, couldn’t help but smack him on the back in mock frustration, yelling the answer into the air, their voices a mixture of exasperation and humor.
Jeonghan turned to Vernon, who was watching the scene unfold with a knowing smile and gestured toward S.Coups. “See? I was right. It’ll end here,” he said with a resigned shrug, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth.
[It's over]
After struggling to answer, he dropped to his knees in despair, a dramatic gesture that drew collective amusement from his fellow members. As if on cue, they began to sing a song by the artist whose name S.Coups had failed to recall, their voices merging into a playful chorus that only heightened the hilarity of the situation.
[Teasing]
['REALLY REALLY' by Winner, written and composed by Yoon]
Meanwhile, Vernon, ever the quiet observer, seized the opportunity to remove a dish from the table. He stood up, grabbed a container without a word, and discreetly took it away, knowing full well the group would soon be too distracted by their leader’s antics to notice.
S.Coups, still on his knees, tried to salvage the moment by bowing and saying, "Who… Hello, Yoon," before pointing behind him, gesturing vaguely as he added, "Someone said Song."
Jeonghan, quick to rebut, replied, "Who said Song? We all said Kang," gesturing toward the members who had tried to help S.Coups by muttering the correct answer. The room erupted in laughter as S.Coups collapsed onto Jeonghan’s legs in mock defeat, clinging to them as if they were his last hope before he finally returned to his chair, laughing at his own mistake.
PD Na, ever the playful instigator, mockingly chided S.Coups, "Still, if it was someone from a different field or a senior, you can just feel sorry, but he's a fellow singer."
[He's a fellow singer]
Luna, always quick with a playful jab, joined in, "You're terrible at this," her words earning a nod of agreement from Jeonghan, who added with a grin, "You're not good at this."
[Bunny power]
Mingyu, unable to resist, teased, "I bet if Seung Yoon had to answer you, he wouldn't get it."
S.Coups, still laughing, shook his head in agreement. "Right. He wouldn't get me."
"I can ask him now," PD Na offered, leaning into the joke.
"I'm sure he wouldn't," S.Coups said, his laughter bubbling up once more.
Seungkwan, ever the sharp-witted one, deadpanned from beside S.Coups, "Maybe because you're not as famous," causing the room to explode with laughter and a chorus of "Oohs" at the playful burn.
S.Coups stood up, chuckling as he shook his head in mock defeat.
As the members prepared for round eight, the room buzzed with anticipation. They began to shuffle their seats, deciding that S.Coups, after his earlier blunder, should go last. Woozi was moved to the front, while the rest adjusted their positions according to their preferences.
[S.COUPS moves to the back]
[WOOZI moves to the front]
Amidst the reshuffling, Luna found herself seated in the center, between Dino and Wonwoo. Dino was calm and ready, but Wonwoo, too nervous to sit, paced back and forth behind Luna, anxiously preparing for his turn.
PD Na observed the new arrangement and turned to Woozi with a hint of expectation. "Yes. I think Woozi will actually be good at it. Because you said you never leave home. What would he do at home?"
"I’ve been focusing the whole time," Woozi replied, his usual calm demeanor showing a hint of tension.
"How's your score so far?" PD Na inquired, curious about Woozi’s self-assessment.
"It wasn't high. Honestly, I've been practicing this quietly. This is really hard," Woozi admitted with a small smile. Determined, he added, "I'll do my very best."
From his seat, Mingyu leaned back casually and offered some advice. "Relax. Lean back. Just do it. Do your best."
Woozi, catching onto Mingyu’s laid-back approach, mimicked his posture, sitting arrogantly as he replied, "I know them all."
Luna, sitting comfortably in the center, couldn’t help but add, "The Kim Mingyu method really does work," recognizing that confidence was a big part of the game.
[New method for the quiz: 'Kim Mingyu Method']
Mingyu, eager to reinforce his point, pointed at himself and asked Woozi, "Look. Who am I?"
"Mingyu," Woozi answered without hesitation.
"That’s it. Who’s this?" Mingyu pointed at Seungkwan.
"Seungkwan," Woozi replied, catching onto the simplicity of Mingyu’s strategy.
"That’s how you play," Mingyu said, grinning.
Woozi, now fully engaged in the playful banter, pointed at Jeonghan and confidently said, "Jeonghan."
"That’s right. Good," Mingyu encouraged, enjoying the light-hearted moment.
PD Na, seeing the playful yet effective strategy, added, "Keep that tone."
[Done practicing]
[Round 8]
PD Na, with a mischievous smile, reminded Woozi, “Say it clearly,” before revealing the next picture.
“1, 2, 3,” he counted down.
“IU,” Woozi announced confidently, and the room erupted in cheers and applause.
[Ji Hoon did it]
[As if he was a baby taking his first step]
“We filmed together once before,” Woozi added, a small smile of pride tugging at his lips.
[Touched]
“You were on ‘IU's Palette’,” Hoshi pointed out, bringing up the show where Woozi and IU had a chance to interact.
“We almost became friends,” Seungkwan chimed in, playfully adding to the banter.
Mingyu, eager to keep the momentum going, asked, “Can we proceed?”
“Sure,” Seungkwan and Jeonghan nodded in agreement, their excitement palpable.
PD Na then turned to Mingyu, showing him the next picture.
“1, 2, 3,” he counted down.
“Cho Jinwoong,” Mingyu declared as he stood up, visibly amazed at his own accuracy.
[His shoulders are reaching 61cm]
“Good job, Mingyu,” Dokyeom praised him, his words echoed by the other members’ cheers.
Without wasting time, PD Na moved on to Seungkwan, showing the next picture.
“1, 2, 3,” PD Na counted down.
“Joo Hyun Young!” Seungkwan answered with exaggerated enthusiasm, jumping to his feet as the room exploded with cheers once more.
Next was Jeonghan, who raised his hands, “Wait. Wait. Wait,” he said, trying to keep his cool before PD Na revealed the picture.
[Keeping inner peace]
“1, 2, 3,” PD Na counted down.
“Joo Woo Jae,” Jeonghan answered, and the room’s energy reached a new high as half the members jumped up in excitement, their voices overlapping in an intense chorus of celebration.
“My goodness. We’ll get to play,” someone exclaimed.
“It’s coming!”
“Nice!”
“We have hope.”
“You were lucky,” PD Na teased Jeonghan, but his eyes were already on Dino, showing him the next picture.
As Dino saw the picture of Seungkwan, Jeonghan, and Luna, who were sitting on either side of him, instinctively covered their mouths, trying to hide their whispering.
“Boo Seungkwan,” they both murmured quietly, just in case Dino needed the extra nudge.
[Mom and Dad were saying the answer just in case Dino doesn't get it]
“1, 2, 3,” PD Na counted down.
“Seungkwan,” Dino laughed as he answered, and everyone cheered as Seungkwan grinned proudly, seeing his own picture.
[He got his own picture]
Luna was next. Despite the excitement and the loud cheers from the members, half of whom were now standing, she remained seated with a nervous smile, her fingers playing with the necklace around her neck. Her eyes were fixed on PD Na, focused yet anxious.
[The 'Kim Mingyu Method' is lost on her]
Jeonghan noticed her nervousness immediately. With a gentle yet firm voice, he raised his hand, “Wait. Wait. Wait,” signaling for everyone to calm down. The members, sensing the seriousness in Jeonghan’s tone, quickly quieted down, creating a space for Luna to concentrate.
PD Na then revealed the next picture, showing a familiar animated character.
“1, 2, 3,” he counted down.
“Elsa!” Luna jumped from her seat, excitement flooding her voice.
The room erupted in the loudest cheers yet. They had hit the halfway mark— a feat that had never happened before.
[They reached halfway for the first time]
PD Na moved on to Wonwoo, who was still behind his seat, gripping the backrest with a determined expression. The tension in the room was palpable as all eyes were on him, the silence amplifying the anticipation.
“1, 2, 3,” PD Na counted down, revealing the next picture.
“Doolie,” Wonwoo answered calmly, his voice steady.
The room exploded into cheers as the members who had already answered jumped to their feet. Vernon stood there, wide-eyed, his fist raised to his mouth in awe. The accomplishment was significant, and the energy in the room was electric.
[They're on the peak]
“It’s Vernon’s turn,” PD Na announced, as the focus shifted to Vernon. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as PD Na showed him the next picture.
“1, 2, 3,” PD Na counted down.
“Kang Daniel,” Vernon answered without hesitation, drawing even more cheers from the group.
Dokyeom, who was next in line, stood up and braced himself, looking like he was about to tackle a lion. His eyes were wide with concentration, his body tense with determination. The pressure was mounting, not just for him, but for the remaining members who hadn’t gone yet. A chorus of murmurs filled the room, a mix of anxiety and encouragement.
“My goodness.”
“It’s coming.”
“Please don’t reach this far.”
The members whispered among themselves, the pressure of the upcoming turns weighing heavily on them.
PD Na showed Dokyeom the picture, counting down with his usual cadence. “1, 2, 3,” he said.
“Calm Down Man,” Dino whispered suddenly, magically appearing next to Dokyeom, relaying him the answer.
“Calm Down Man,” Dokyeom repeated, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness, but he managed to answer just in time.
Cheers erupted once more, though PD Na, unaware of the slight cheating, added, “You got it. It’s a warning. You were late.”
Minghao was next, and the atmosphere shifted as everyone turned their attention to him. The tension was palpable, especially between Minghao and Jun, who were holding hands in front of them. Their fingers were interlocked, and their faces were a mix of determination and sheer terror. It was an amusing sight that made PD Na laugh out loud.
[2 cats are shivering]
“Good luck. You can do it,” Jun encouraged Minghao, squeezing his hand reassuringly.
“You can do it,” Dokyeom echoed, his voice full of confidence, trying to boost Minghao’s morale.
“You were good at it,” Minghao said to Dokyeom, his voice a little shaky but sincere.
Luna, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but soften at the sight of the two holding hands. “Oh my… They are so cute,” she remarked, her voice filled with affection. “It’s okay. Calm down, Haohao, Huihui,” she added, using their affectionate nicknames.
PD Na pointed at Minghao and Jun, chuckling as he observed their position. “They’re holding hands,” he noted with amusement.
Minghao, despite his nerves, managed to make a small joke. “Give me the easy one,” he said, his voice half-serious, half-pleading.
“Here we go,” PD Na responded, readying the picture. Minghao leaned forward, his focus sharpening as he prepared to answer.
“Give me the easy one,” Minghao repeated, his tone almost like a mantra to himself.
“1, 2, 3,” PD Na counted down, revealing the image.
“NewJeans,” Minghao answered with a confident smile.
The room erupted in praise and relief. “Good job!” Luna exclaimed, proud of Minghao.
“Nice,” Dokyeom said, genuinely surprised as he pulled Minghao into a hug.
“It’s too small to see,” Vernon noted, still processing how close the call was.
“He covered Minji’s face,” Mingyu added, pointing out the difficulty of the image.
“I thought that was S.E.S.,” S.Coups admitted, which made Seungkwan scoff with laughter.
[But The8 was happy with the question]
PD Na’s voice cut through the cheers, bringing everyone back to focus. “Among two obstacles, you just passed one small obstacle. You have the big one left.” His words hung in the air, heightening the anticipation for the next turn.
[S.Coups is the Himalayas]
The members collectively turned to Jun, who was up next. PD Na held up the next picture, and the countdown began. “1, 2, 3…”
[Hesitant]
“Karina,” Jun answered, his voice slightly hesitant, but sure enough.
[He was late]
A moment of silence passed before the room exploded. The members stood up, pointing at Jun and shouting to PD Na, insisting that he got it right. Their excitement was palpable, filling the room with a renewed sense of energy.
“I almost said it's wrong,” PD Na admitted, a grin spreading across his face.
But Jun wasn’t done. “I can do the dance,” he said, and without missing a beat, he got on the ground to demonstrate.
['Black Mamba']
As he began to move, the familiar beats of 'Black Mamba' came to life in his mind, and he sang along, “‘Black Mamba’,” while performing the iconic choreography. His fluid movements and confident delivery had everyone laughing and clapping in appreciation.
Seungkwan, not wanting to be outdone, jumped in with another song, teasing Jun to keep going. “‘I’m on the next level’,” he sang, his voice carrying the tune as Jun seamlessly transitioned into the dance for 'Next Level,' his body following the rhythm effortlessly.
PD Na, watching Jun nail the dance with ease, confirmed with a nod, “A warning.”
[One more warning]
PD Na’s voice rang out, breaking the intense atmosphere that had settled over the group. "Now you have three members left," he announced, his gaze shifting to Joshua, who was now on his knees, Hoshi, who had his hands clasped together in a fervent prayer, and S.Coups, who was leaning forward with an intense focus. The tension was palpable.
[Urgh/Performance Team leader/Leader]
"This is crazy," Mingyu muttered, glancing nervously at the remaining players.
PD Na nodded in agreement. "From Joshua to S.Coups, we'll go fast. If S.Coups gets the answer, you win."
“Why am I getting so nervous?” S.Coups said, his hands now clasped to his chest as if he could physically steady the pounding of his heart. “He’s selecting the question,” he commented, watching as PD Na prepared to reveal the next image.
Joshua’s turn was up. PD Na showed him the picture and began the countdown. “1, 2, 3.”
“Cocomong,” Joshua answered quickly, his voice filled with a mix of certainty and calmness.
“You got it,” PD Na confirmed.
A collective gasp filled the room, followed by a chorus of excited murmurs. “Is that right? Is it Cocomong?” S.Coups asked, still in disbelief.
“It’s Cocomong,” Joshua repeated with a nod, confidence growing in his voice.
“Isn’t that Chocoemong?” Mingyu asked, a frown of confusion creasing his face.
“What?” Luna and Jeonghan simultaneously whipped around to face Mingyu, their expressions of shock and disbelief making him laugh sheepishly.
[Appalled]
“Chocoemong is what you drink after drinking,” Seungkwan corrected Mingyu with a deadpan expression, earning a round of laughter from the others.
PD Na gave a final nod. “You got it. The answer is Cocomong.”
With that confirmation, Hoshi jumped to his feet, his hands still clasped together as if in prayer. The tension in the room skyrocketed. “Hey, be quiet,” S.Coups hissed, trying to focus as they readied for Hoshi’s turn.
[Noisy people: S.Coups, The8, DK]
The members quickly rallied around Hoshi, trying to calm his nerves. “Let’s go, Hoshi,”
“Relax,”
“You got this,”
“The tiger’s eyes.”
[Next is the tiger's eyes, Hoshi]
PD Na revealed the next picture, and the countdown began. “1, 2, 3…”
There was a long, excruciating pause as Hoshi’s mind raced, but no words came out. Finally, he collapsed to his knees, letting out an agonized “Ahh!” that echoed around the room.
The members burst into laughter as PD Na’s voice cut through the chaos. “Wrong!” he declared, his tone full of mock disappointment.
Hoshi finally found his voice, albeit too late. “Lee Seok Hoon,” he muttered, now fully aware of his mistake.
[Too late]
The room buzzed with a chaotic mixture of reactions as Hoshi remained on his knees, the reality of his mistake settling in. Some members were in shock, wide-eyed and mouths agape, unable to believe that Hoshi had fumbled his answer. Others reacted with visible pain, feeling the weight of the near victory slipping away. Some rushed to Hoshi's side, offering comfort and pats on the back, trying to soothe his obvious distress. But there were also those who couldn’t help but laugh, their laughter mingling with the groans and sighs in the room.
[While everyone's in despair,]
[someone's happy]
Amidst the flurry of reactions, S.Coups felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over him. For once, it wasn't him who had cracked under pressure. A grin spread across his face as he stood up and made his way towards the swarm of members surrounding Hoshi. "It wasn't me. It wasn't me," he repeated gleefully, pointing at Hoshi, who was still on the ground. The weight of the moment had shifted entirely off his shoulders. "It was him."
[I'm happy that I didn't get it wrong]
[He got it wrong]
Now, all of them were standing, eyes fixated on Hoshi, who was still kneeling in defeat. The room was buzzing, but S.Coups’ relief was evident.
Luna, her heart softening at the sight of Hoshi’s guilty expression, went over to him, peeking through the crowd. “It’s okay,” she said softly, her chuckle light and gentle. “It’s alright.”
Hoshi glanced up at her, still looking remorseful, but her words seemed to bring a small amount of comfort.
Vernon and Mingyu stepped forward, each taking one of Hoshi’s arms and helping him to his feet. “It’s okay,” Vernon reassured him with a smile, while Mingyu patted his back. Hoshi tried to smile, though Dino’s laughter, which echoed loudly through the room, made it difficult to stay serious.
[Get up, warrior]
[You're pardoned]
[We can just remove the food]
“It’s okay,” Jeonghan said as he walked over to the table, glancing at the remaining food with a sigh. “Let’s remove yogurt.” He nodded towards Seungkwan, who quickly went over and removed the container from the table, a sign of moving past the small defeat.
[Yogurt is out] [4 dishes left]
As the group settled down for the next round, a sense of determination and camaraderie filled the air. Minghao was the first to break the silence, his voice calm but optimistic. "We see hope."
"We saw possibility," Dokyeom added, nodding in agreement.
"We reached very far," Jeonghan chimed in, acknowledging and reflecting on their progress.
Seungkwan, always quick with a response, said, "We almost had it."
Mingyu, nodded and said, "We just did pretty well."
Woozi, however, wasn’t ready to let Hoshi off the hook just yet. "I don't get how he couldn't get it," he said, shaking his head slightly.
"I agree," Mingyu said, echoing Woozi’s sentiment.
"That he didn't get Lee Seok Hoon?" Seungkwan clarified.
"Yes. Even I knew it," Woozi replied, still a bit perplexed.
"It means he didn't watch the show Seungkwan was on," S.Coups teased, trying to lighten the mood a little.
"Wonwoo and Minghao were on it too," Mingyu pointed out.
"Even if you didn’t, you should know," Jeonghan said, still dwelling on Hoshi’s missed answer.
"All of us were there," Woozi added, his tone a mix of understanding and disbelief.
Luna, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, couldn’t hold back any longer. "No– ya! Hoshi knew him. He answered right, he just ran out of time 'cause PD Na doesn’t want us to eat," she scolded them, her tone both protective and teasing. Her defense of Hoshi made PD Na laugh, clearly amused by her assessment.
[Bunny no. 1 defending the tiger... hamster(?)]
"I know him…" Hoshi trailed off, his voice a mix of frustration and regret.
"But you couldn't recall it," Luna finished for him, nodding sympathetically. "It's alright."
"I understand," S.Coups said, his voice gentle as he tried to ease the tension in the room.
As they prepared to move on to the next round, the atmosphere in the room was a mix of anticipation and amusement. PD Na addressed the group with a hint of strategy, "If you're starting with S.Coups, you want to deal with the problem first and end it."
"It means we’ll get rid of the lemon," Seungkwan quipped, his comment making everyone burst into laughter.
"The lemon?" S.Coups stood up, chuckling in disbelief at Seungkwan's playful jab.
"Don't be like that," Dino said, trying to keep a straight face.
"Just admit it," Seungkwan teased further, causing S.Coups to laugh even more, shaking his head.
[Our success is what matters]
"Let’s start. S.Coups will go first," PD Na announced, setting the stage for the next challenge.
"Give me an easy one, please," S.Coups leaned forward, his voice a mix of pleading and nervousness.
PD Na, with a grin, added, "I think he should go talk to Jeonghan," suggesting that S.Coups might need some counsel from Jeonghan, which made the two laugh in agreement.
[The counseling office is always open]
"Chill out," Jeonghan told S.Coups with a calm, reassuring tone.
Mingyu jumped in, trying to help with his own method of deduction. "You know them. Like Seungkwan, Jeonghan, Jiyeon," he pointed out, using the members as examples to help S.Coups focus.
"The Kim Mingyu Method," Luna said, naming Mingyu’s approach with a grin.
"That worked really well," Seungkwan and Woozi agreed, finding humor in the method.
"Who's this? Jeonghan. Jiyeon, Wonwoo… Dokyeom. That's what you do," Mingyu continued, trying to show how easy it could be if S.Coups just followed his lead.
"You got Dokyeom confused," Wonwoo chuckled, pointing out Mingyu's mistake, which made Mingyu giggle in response.
"Are you ready?" PD Na asked, bringing the attention back to S.Coups.
[With ease]
[Round 9]
A chorus of encouragements erupted from the members.
"Relax."
"Chill out."
"It's easy."
"You can do it."
"Here we go," PD Na said, building up the suspense as he showed S.Coups the picture and began counting down, "1, 2, 3."
S.Coups stared at the picture, his expression a mix of disbelief and resignation. "Who’s that?" he asked, chuckling as if he had already given up.
"Wrong!" PD Na declared.
All eyes were on S.Coups, who stood in shock, staring at the picture in disbelief. He had been given another easy question, yet once again, he found himself unable to answer it. Instead of groans, the room was filled with silent, stunned expressions as they tried to process what had just happened.
[Shocking]
Mingyu couldn't stay seated any longer. He shot up from his chair, making an exaggerated hand movement as he exclaimed, "Ya! I can even see it from walking past."
"Kim Woo Bin," Jun stated, turning to S.Coups with a mix of surprise and concern.
"Kim Woo Bin," Dokyeom echoed, shaking his head accompanied by a pained chuckle.
"You need to stop drinking," Seungkwan deadpanned, his sharp comment causing both PD Na and S.Coups to burst into laughter.
Luna, who had been observing quietly with her arms crossed, finally spoke up, her tone playful yet stern. "I don’t think we are playing the character quiz…" Her statement made the members turn to her with amused yet confused expressions.
[What?]
"He's the mafia," Luna continued, pointing at S.Coups with a chuckle, a reference to their iconic Mafia game from the 'Don't Lie' segments in ‘Going Seventeen’.
The realization hit the members all at once, and they erupted into hysterical laughter. The idea that S.Coups, their leader, was somehow sabotaging their game was too funny not to embrace.
As the laughter continued to fill the room, Mingyu was clearly the most amused by Luna’s joke. He laughed with his whole body, doubling over as he let out deep, hearty laughs. Unable to contain his amusement, Mingyu got up from his seat, making his way over to Luna. With his hands raised high, he eagerly sought a high five, which Luna gladly returned, their hands clapping together in triumph.
But Mingyu’s laughter didn’t stop there. As he collapsed in hysterics, he fell forward, his head landing on Luna’s lap before he slid down to the floor in front of her, still laughing uncontrollably.
[Mingyu finds it the funniest...]
[Watch ‘Going Seventeen’ to understand why]
Hoshi stood up dramatically, covering his mouth with his hand as he stared at S.Coups with wide eyes, adding to the hilarity. "S.Coups is the mafia!" he declared, his voice filled with mock horror.
The laughter grew louder as the members joined in the joke, shouting in unison, "Let’s kill him! Let’s kill him!" They mimicked the thumbs-down movement they used in the 'Don't Lie' game, fully embracing the absurdity of the situation.
[Let's remove a dish]
As the laughter finally began to subside, the members of SEVENTEEN shifted their focus back to the game, this time discussing which dish to remove from the table. Joshua, ever practical, suggested, "There are two kinds of meat. How about we remove the spicy stir-fried pork?"
Seungkwan, still in a playful mood, stood up and hovered his hand over the LA galbi. "Would you warm it up again? LA galbi is expensive," he reasoned, addressing the crew with a serious expression, his voice tinged with concern.
[Spicy stir-fried pork versus LA galbi]
Jeonghan, always looking out for the younger members, suggested, "Then remove the acorn jelly. Dino hates it."
Luna, nodding in agreement, added, "Dino hates it."
Vernon, weighing in on the discussion, said, "Right. Let's remove the spicy stir-fried pork."
But Luna, without realizing it, pouted slightly as she responded, "No, why the spicy stir-fried pork?"
Joshua chimed in, "There are two kinds of meat anyway."
Determined to protect the dish, Mingyu said, "Remove the acorn jelly."
Seungkwan, still standing at the table, his hands hovering indecisively between the two dishes, almost whined, "Between acorn jelly and spicy stir-fried pork, what's it going to be?"
"Acorn jelly," Jeonghan said firmly. "The youngest doesn't like acorn jelly."
[Strong reason]
"Really? You don't? Then let's remove acorn jelly," Vernon agreed, sealing the fate of the dish. With that, the acorn jelly was finally removed.
[Acorn jelly is out] [3 dishes left]
As the group settled back into their places, Jeonghan, ever the contrarian, remarked, "Isn't spicy stir-fried pork better than LA galbi?"
Joshua, eyebrows raised in disbelief, questioned, "Really?"
Wonwoo, always practical, chimed in, "Apparently, LA galbi is expensive."
Seungkwan, ready to move forward, returned to his seat and said, "We still have two kinds of meat left. Let's play first."
Mingyu chuckled, adding, "They'll be gone in no time," referring to how quickly the dishes would vanish even before they would start eating.
[Gone in no time]
Before the next round began, some of the members shuffled their seats again, trying to find their optimal positions. Luna ended up seated between Jeonghan and Seungkwan on the right side of the line. Jeonghan then asked, "So? Do we start from here? Or there?"
Mingyu, with a grin, suggested, "I think S.Coups should go last. All thirteen people get to experience it, and S.Coups will end it by dying," which made Luna burst into laughter.
Woozi, catching on to the plan, swapped seats with S.Coups, who begrudgingly accepted his fate and moved to the end of the line. "Shall we?" Woozi asked, settling into S.Coups’ former spot.
[They quietly send S.Coups to the end]
"We'll start from here again," Seungkwan decided, pointing to the other end of the line where the round would begin.
As Woozi took S.Coups' seat, he noticed a yogurt from the container sitting there, looking confused. "Hey…" he said, holding up the yogurt, which made both Jeonghan and Luna glance over with mild curiosity.
Seungkwan, immediately recognizing the yogurt, reached for it and said, "Give it to me." It had been his seat before, and he'd sneakily taken the yogurt and hidden it for himself.
[It was Seungkwan's seat]
Jeonghan and Luna remained unfazed, though clearly amused as they watched the scene unfold. Woozi handed the yogurt over to Seungkwan, asking, "Why are you keeping yogurt?"
[He saved yogurt for later]
Luna, with a smirk, decided to help Seungkwan out, "It fell earlier."
Jeonghan, always quick to join in, added, "It was on the floor."
Seungkwan, stumbling over his words, tried to justify himself, "It said it's got patented probiotics."
Wonwoo, ever observant, asked, "When did you take it?"
Minghao, shaking his head with a sigh, joined in with a half-serious, half-playful tone, "Be honest."
The entire group burst into laughter at the ridiculousness of the situation, Seungkwan finally admitting, "Sorry," as he sheepishly held onto the yogurt.
[We pursue earnest and bright society]
As they braced for the next round the atmosphere in the room was a mixture of anticipation and tension. PD Na announced, "Here we go. Dino is going first," signaling the start of what everyone hoped would be a successful round.
Wonwoo, still pacing behind his seat, muttered, "I should practice," he said as he tried to prepare himself mentally.
[Round 10]
The screen flickered as PD Na displayed the picture for Dino. "1, 2, 3…" he counted down, giving Dino his cue. Dino pointed at the picture, but to everyone’s surprise, no words came out of his mouth. His mind seemed to have drawn a blank at the crucial moment.
[Say something]
"Wrong!" PD Na exclaimed, breaking the silence with a mix of surprise and disappointment. The other members turned to Dino, their expressions ranging from disbelief to shock.
Vernon, unable to contain himself, shot up from his seat and pointed at the youngest member. "How can you miss this?" he asked incredulously, his voice rising.
"You always… you always copy him," Wonwoo chimed in, echoing Vernon’s disbelief.
"This is your special skill," Vernon added, still in shock, "You copy him all the time."
Dino covered his mouth with his hand, his face reflecting his own disbelief. "Why can't I remember all of a sudden?" he murmured, almost to himself, the realization of his mistake slowly sinking in.
PD Na turned to Hoshi, who was next in line, to see if he knew the answer. "Hoshi, who's this?"
"Song Kang Ho," Hoshi responded without missing a beat, his voice confident and sure.
"He's your special skill," Wonwoo repeated, emphasizing Dino's usual talent.
[There must be something about his special skill]
"You should show him," Hoshi suggested, gesturing towards PD Na with a smile.
Dino chuckled, shaking his head. "No," he said, reluctant to demonstrate his impression.
[What is it?]
"Show him," Mingyu encouraged, nodding his head with a grin.
"Which one?" Dino asked as he slowly made his way to the center of the room, the focus of everyone's attention now squarely on him.
"The one that gets censored," Wonwoo said with a playful smirk, recalling a particularly notorious impression that is not suitable for TV.
"He'll censor it," Mingyu reassured Dino, trying to coax him into performing.
"What is it?" PD Na chuckled, his curiosity piqued by the group's reaction. "What is it? You made me so curious."
"It might not be suitable for the show," Seungkwan interjected, standing up to explain on Dino's behalf.
"If it can't be aired, we'll edit it out and give you one more chance," PD Na explained, his tone both understanding and encouraging. The members, realizing they might get another shot at saving the round, began to cheer and clap, urging Dino to go for it.
[We'll give Dino one more chance]
"You have to do it," they chanted, their enthusiasm infectious.
"The viewers won't know what it is, but they'll assume it was funny," PD Na added with a chuckle, trying to put Dino at ease as he stood there, torn between hesitation and the desire to redeem himself.
Dino hesitated for a moment, then decided to explain his upcoming performance. "In 'The Host'…" he began, using his hands to gesture as he spoke.
"Song Kang Ho?" PD Na interjected, seeking confirmation.
"Yes," the members responded in unison, nodding.
Dino continued, "He has to go save his daughter, but he gets caught in the hospital. They start injecting things into his brain for a biopsy. I'll reenact that emergency situation." He mimicked the injection process with his hand gestures, painting a vivid picture of the scene he was about to recreate.
"He impersonates the actor but doesn’t know the name," PD Na commented, shaking his head in amusement.
Seungkwan immediately jumped to his feet, standing beside Dino as he pretended to inject something into his head. Vernon followed suit, joining in as they began the impromptu performance.
Dino, fully in character now, exclaimed, "Ya. I have to go save my daughter."
"Lie down," Seungkwan commanded, keeping up the act.
"Help me," Dino pleaded, still in character.
"Lie down," Seungkwan repeated, his tone authoritative as they continued the reenactment.
"Okay, okay," Dino relented, pretending to struggle as he was held down by his fellow members.
"Lie down!" Seungkwan shouted, raising his voice to add intensity to the scene.
Luna, sitting in her seat, couldn’t help but giggle and cringe simultaneously, her arms hugging Jeonghan's as they watched Dino's committed performance.
Dino, fully immersed in his role, suddenly blurted out, "Ya! You bastard! You son of a bitch!"
The room erupted in laughter. PD Na, the crew, and the rest of the members couldn’t contain themselves, cracking up at Dino's cursing and his spot-on impression.
"I have to save my daughter," Dino concluded dramatically, ending the performance.
[Done]
"That was so good," Dokyeom chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief at Dino's dedication.
Vernon, overcome with laughter, collapsed onto the floor, his distinct laugh echoing through the room.
[Laughing]
Luna, still giggling, hid behind Jeonghan's arm, her laughter mixing with a hint of secondhand embarrassment from Dino's antics. She peeked out from behind him, still smiling. "He's really on another level."
"You don’t know Song Kang Ho, but you're impersonating him?" PD Na asked, still trying to wrap his head around the absurdity of the situation.
"Exactly," Dino replied, suddenly modest as if he hadn’t just been yelling obscenities. "So if you give me one more chance…"
"I will give you another chance," PD Na said, making the group erupt in cheers and applause, grateful for the opportunity.
[He got another chance]
[He earned his chance]
As Dino returned to his seat, Mingyu leaned over, chuckling, "You cleaned up your own mess."
[It's a precious second chance]
As the redo of the round was set to begin again, Dino nervously prepared himself.
"It'll be funny if he messes up again," Woozi giggled, glancing at Dino, who was now steeling himself for his second chance.
[RE: Round 10]
PD Na held up the picture for Dino and began the countdown, "1, 2, 3."
"Mimi," Dino blurted out confidently.
"You got it," PD Na confirmed, nodding his head.
"I got it!" Dino exclaimed, standing up, visibly shocked and immensely relieved that he had nailed it this time. The tension from earlier had melted away, replaced with triumphant disbelief.
Next up was Hoshi. He stood up, a mix of a sigh and a whine escaping him as he clutched his chest, clearly feeling the pressure.
[And]
[the hamster's having a heartache]
[Sigh]
"Hoshi, it's okay. You're okay," Luna said softly, her voice tinged with amusement as she watched him.
"Hoshi, doesn’t your heart ache?" S.Coups teased with a chuckle as if empathizing with the intensity of the situation.
"I think I’m going to go crazy," Hoshi admitted, making S.Coups laugh heartily.
[He understands how Hoshi feels]
"It’s okay," Jun reassured him, placing a comforting hand on Hoshi's arm as he tried to calm him down.
[Character Quiz can be harmful]
[Talk to Producer Na about side effects]
PD Na then presented the picture to Hoshi. Before he could even count down, Hoshi sprang to his feet and pointed at the image, shouting, "Jee Seok Jin!" His excitement was so overwhelming that he fell to his knees, overwhelmed with joy. The members erupted in cheers and applause, sharing in Hoshi’s elation.
"Seok Jin!" Hoshi repeated, pointing at the picture as if he couldn’t believe he had actually gotten it right. The sheer relief and excitement radiated from him, and the members continued clapping for him, their laughter filling the room.
"He’s my dad’s age," Hoshi said, still out of breath, eliciting even more laughter from the group.
[He was born in 1966]
"'He’s my dad’s age'," Luna repeated with a chuckle, nodding at Hoshi in understanding as she smiled at his endearing comment.
"Joshua’s turn," PD Na announced, signaling the start of the next round. He showed Joshua the picture and counted down, "1, 2, 3."
"Song Hye Kyo," Joshua answered, his voice steady yet his eyes wide.
[Song what Kyo?]
The members burst into applause and cheers, congratulating him for the correct answer.
"Didn’t you say 'Song Ye Kyo'?" PD Na asked, slightly puzzled, prompting a few members to stand up in defense of Joshua’s answer.
[He suddenly misses his hometown]
"Is 'H' silent?" PD Na inquired, trying to clarify.
"I heard it. I heard the 'H,'" Luna raised her hand, backing Joshua despite knowing it wasn’t quite accurate.
"You don’t say 'H' in Hermes," Mingyu argued, causing the room to erupt in a chorus of "Oohs" at his logic, laughing at the sheer absurdity of the lies being thrown around to save Joshua.
[That makes sense]
"He’s right! He’s right!" Luna clapped her hands in agreement, pointing at Mingyu, who playfully winked at her.
"Okay," PD Na said with a sigh, as he turned his attention to Jun and Minghao, who were next in line.
[He'll move on since he's persuaded]
"Oh my. It’s the big obstacle," he remarked, before showing Jun the picture and counting down, "Here we go… 1, 2, 3."
"Michael Jackson," Jun announced confidently, standing up and busting out an iconic Michael Jackson move, making the members cheer loudly in excitement.
[He's in Performance Team]
[Neat finish]
"You’re pretty good," Dokyeom complimented, and others chimed in, "Good job."
[One obstacle is gone]
PD Na then turned to Minghao, who was leaning forward in his seat, a hint of nervousness visible on his face.
[Another obstacle]
"Minghao, it’s okay. You can do it," Seungkwan encouraged, his voice soft.
PD Na showed Minghao the picture and counted down, "1, 2, 3…"
"Sorry," Minghao bowed apologetically, admitting that he didn’t know the person.
"It’s understandable," Mingyu chimed in sympathetically, his tone reassuring.
"It’s understandable," Jeonghan echoed, nodding along in agreement.
"It’s alright, Hao," Luna added, her voice gentle.
[New reaction]
PD Na looked taken aback by the unexpected support, clearly surprised by how forgiving the members were of Minghao’s mistake. As a foreign member, the group understood his struggle with some of the cultural references.
"I don’t know her," Minghao admitted, his voice tinged with regret.
[Jeon Do-yeon]
"It’s okay. He did that on purpose," Luna said, playfully pointing at PD Na, causing the members to chuckle.
"He gave you the question you can’t answer," Mingyu agreed, his tone light-hearted.
"He was trying to get him wrong," Jeonghan added as they nodded in agreement. "He wasn’t considerate enough."
"He just doesn’t want us to eat," S.Coups joked, eliciting more laughter.
"'I’ll make you fail,'" Jeonghan imitated, his voice dripping with playful sarcasm.
"Give me easy ones," Minghao said, his voice lightening as he joined in on the banter, making everyone laugh.
"Sorry," PD Na chuckled, amused by how the members had turned the situation into a light-hearted moment.
In the end, after much deliberation and laughter, the group reluctantly agreed to remove the spicy stir-fried pork from their menu, leaving them with two dishes, the kimchi, and the LA galbi.
[Spicy stir-fried pork is out]
[This is all they have left]
PD Na, sensing the pressure building among the members, decided to lighten the mood while also giving them a push. "If you get it now, it works for both of us. We've got enough airtime. If you lose any more food, CARAT will get mad at us. It's about time for you to pull it off," he encouraged his tone a blend of seriousness and playful urgency.
[Round 11]
"Come on. Let's go," Woozi said, clapping his hands together in anticipation.
"Let’s do this," Minghao added, steeling himself for the challenge ahead.
The tension in the room was palpable as the game moved into the next round. The members were all on edge, knowing that every wrong answer could cost them another dish. Despite their efforts, the round came to a halt when Jun, staring blankly at the photo, couldn't identify Robert Downey Jr. The members sighed as they watched the LA galbi slip away from their grasp, leaving only the kimchi behind.
[END GAME]
[LA galbi is out] [Only 1 dish left]
[In the end, it happened]
[Only kimchi left for the final round]
"We’re about to lose the kimchi," Woozi remarked, half-joking, half-serious as they prepared for the next round.
"We must succeed this time," Seungkwan said, determination clear in his voice.
"Yes," Dino echoed, the weight of the situation not lost on him.
"He’ll give us the easy ones now," Jeonghan observed, watching PD Na carefully as he chose the pictures for the next round.
Luna, who had been quietly observing the proceedings, now rested her head on Jeonghan’s shoulder, her eyes following PD Na and the writers as they discussed the next steps. Jeonghan, sensing an opportunity, leaned forward slightly and proposed an idea. "Can you mix the ones we already did before?" he suggested.
[He demands to repeat the questions]
"What?" one of the writers asked, clearly taken aback by the request, causing the group to burst into laughter.
"He’s serious," Luna explained to the writers and PD Na, patting Jeonghan’s knee affectionately, her head still nestled on his shoulder.
"That’s what he’s like," S.Coups pointed out, gesturing toward Jeonghan with a knowing smile.
"We only have kimchi left," Jeonghan reasoned, trying to make his case.
PD Na considered it for a moment before agreeing. "Sure. Let’s do that. That doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all," he said, nodding.
"Thank you!" Luna exclaimed, her gratitude evident as she smiled warmly at PD Na.
"We can’t get it wrong twice," S.Coups said, the seriousness of the situation hitting them all at once.
"It could be harder this way," Woozi mused, his brows furrowing slightly.
"It might be harder," Jun agreed, nodding in contemplation.
"Getting it wrong twice is twice as embarrassing," Luna chuckled, the absurdity of the situation bringing a lightness to her voice.
"If anyone messes it up, let’s compliment them," Jeonghan suggested, his tone playful as they all agreed.
[Let's compliment that person. No cursing]
"'You don’t even know this? Good job,'" Woozi demonstrated, his sarcastic delivery making everyone laugh.
"Very good," Joshua added, chuckling at the sarcasm.
"That’s more annoying," Jun pointed out, shaking his head.
"It might end here," Joshua said, gesturing to S.Coups, who was first in line.
"Then we should just compliment him," Jeonghan replied, his tone teasing.
[Just compliment him]
"Let’s compliment that person. No cursing," Dokyeom said, trying to keep the atmosphere light.
"Don’t curse," S.Coups warned him, his voice mock-serious.
"Okay, don’t worry," Dokyeom chuckled, waving off the concern.
"Let’s compliment big time. ‘We already saw this before, but you got it wrong again? You’re amazing,’" Woozi suggested, his tone dripping with exaggerated praise, causing Joshua to laugh out loud.
PD Na, now fully on board with the idea, laid out the plan. "Here’s what we’re going to do. I’ll mix six random pictures from the previous questions. Even I don’t know what they are going to be."
[Even the production crew doesn't know the order]
"But you have to go very fast," PD Na explained, demonstrating how quickly he would count down.
[Demonstration]
"Okay. Let’s start," Jeonghan said, his voice steady as they braced themselves for the rapid-fire round ahead. The tension was thick, but so was the camaraderie, as they prepared to face the challenge with a mix of nerves and humor.
As the group prepared to dive into the rapid-fire round, some of the members took a moment to review their previous answers, just in case the same questions resurfaced. There was a mixture of nervous energy and determination in the room as everyone tried to remember the faces and names they'd already encountered.
[Going over the previous questions in a rush]
In the midst of all the preparation, Luna and Jeonghan remained side by side, their quiet confidence evident in how relaxed they were. Luna’s head was still resting comfortably on Jeonghan’s shoulder as she casually replied to a text from her mom on her phone. Jeonghan, noticing her focused expression, watched her fingers as they moved swiftly across the screen.
"Is that your mom?" Jeonghan asked softly, his voice barely above a whisper so as not to disturb the others.
"Mmm," Luna hummed in response, her attention still on her phone.
"Tell her I said hi," Jeonghan suggested, his tone warm and familiar.
Without missing a beat, Luna turned on the front camera of her phone and positioned it in front of them, capturing a photo of them smiling together. Neither of them moved an inch, maintaining their comfortable position as she quickly sent the picture to her mom.
Laughter and quiet conversations filled the room, but soon enough, PD Na's voice cut through the noise, drawing everyone's attention back to the task at hand.
"Is there anyone who got all the answers?" PD Na asked, his tone carrying a hint of playful challenge.
"I haven't gotten any wrong yet," Seungkwan quickly raised his hand, pride evident in his voice.
"I got all mine right too," Luna added, lifting her head from Jeonghan's shoulder to sit up properly. She gave a small, confident smile, glad to be able to say she hadn’t slipped up yet.
Jeonghan, noticing Luna's shift, also raised his hand with a casual, "Me too."
From behind his seat, where he'd been pacing, Wonwoo raised his hand as well, adding, "I don’t think I got anything wrong either," his calm demeanor hiding the subtle pride he felt.
Mingyu, ever competitive, raised his hand after Wonwoo, as if reluctant to be left out.
PD Na scanned the room, his eyes landing on those who hadn’t raised their hands. "Anyone who got everything wrong?" he asked, humor lacing his tone.
Only S.Coups sheepishly raised his hand, chuckling at his own misfortune. "I never got it for once," he admitted, laughing at how ridiculous it sounded.
[Park Bo Gum/Yoon/Kim Woo Bin]
PD Na pointed at S.Coups, his laughter infectious. "He got zero," he emphasized, causing the room to erupt in giggles.
"I didn’t think I’d be this terrible," S.Coups confessed, still smiling despite his poor track record.
"You’re terrible," Vernon teased, unable to resist ribbing his leader.
S.Coups shook his head, still in disbelief. "I was pretty good when I watched it on TV," he said, his tone a mix of amusement and frustration.
"Everything looks easy when you watch it on TV," Joshua pointed out, understanding where S.Coups was coming from.
"It looked really easy on TV," S.Coups repeated, the laughter in his voice signaling he had made peace with his less-than-stellar performance.
The room was buzzing with playful energy as PD Na's gaze swept across the members, his eyes finally landing on S.Coups. “Who should go first?” he asked, a mischievous glint in his eye. “S.Coups?”
S.Coups, with his hands clasped over his chest as if to steady his nerves, nodded with a resigned smile. “Yes,” he agreed, knowing he was about to face another round of teasing from his members if he still got it wrong.
“Do you know the worst-case scenario?” PD Na asked, his eyes narrowing with exaggerated concern. “The game ends with you hesitating."
[And the game ends there]
'No fun, no impression,” Woozi piling on the pressure with a grin.
“No style,” Mingyu chimed in from beside Woozi, unable to resist taking his own playful jab. His tone was light, but the teasing was relentless. Dokyeom couldn’t help but laugh at how perfectly they were roasting their leader.
“We should still compliment him,” Jeonghan suggested.
[Even if the worst possible thing happens, we'll still compliment you]
Woozi caught on immediately, nodding in agreement. “We’ll give you warm compliments,” he promised.
Vernon, ever the deadpan, delivered his line with perfect timing and zero emotion. “Well done,” he said flatly, making PD Na burst out laughing as he clapped in appreciation of the humor.
[That's a compliment]
Jeonghan raised his hands as if to assure everyone. “We’re not negative,” he insisted, though the grin on his face said otherwise.
Joshua, picking up on Vernon's tone, echoed with an equally flat “Well done,” his expression matching the dry delivery.
[Last round]
S.Coups knelt on the floor, his heart racing as the anticipation grew. The entire group was focused on him, holding their breath, hoping he would finally break his streak of incorrect answers.
PD Na, with a knowing smile, revealed the next picture and began his countdown. “1, 2, 3.”
“Uhm Jung Hwa,” S.Coups exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of determination and desperation.
For a moment, there was silence, then the room erupted in applause. S.Coups had finally gotten it right. He sat back down with a relieved smile, as the members clapped and cheered for him.
[He finally saved his face]
“You got it,” PD Na confirmed, moving quickly to keep the momentum going. He turned to Joshua next, the picture already in hand.
Joshua, ever calm and collected, focused on the image as PD Na began to count. “1, 2, 3.”
“Suho,” Joshua answered without a moment's hesitation, earning another round of applause from the members.
“You got it,” PD Na acknowledged with a nod, wasting no time as he showed the next picture to Hoshi.
“1, 2, 3.”
“Lee Seok Hoon!” Hoshi shouted, jumping to his feet in excitement, his energy contagious as the room cheered again.
“You got it,” PD Na confirmed, laughing at Hoshi’s enthusiasm.
“It’s Seok Hoon!” Hoshi repeated, still riding the high of getting it right.
Next up was Jeonghan, who, in his typical relaxed manner, remained seated as PD Na flashed the picture. “1, 2, 3.”
“Hani,” Jeonghan pointed out, his tone steady and sure.
“You got it,” PD Na responded, pleased with the quick succession of correct answers. He turned to Luna, who was next in line. Luna, who had been quietly observing, was now the center of attention.
PD Na showed her the picture and counted down, "1,2,3." And with a smoothness that only she could pull off, she responded.
“Harry Potter,” Luna said, her English accent and pronunciation so flawless that it left PD Na momentarily confused.
[What?]
“What?” PD Na asked, his brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of what she had just said.
The members were quick to jump in, eager to explain. Joshua and Vernon, who understood her immediately, were the loudest.
“She’s right!” Joshua called out.
“She got it right!” Vernon added, both of them nodding earnestly.
[American line defending]
“What was that?” PD Na asked again, this time with a hint of curiosity, leaning in as if that would help him understand.
“Harry Potter,” Luna chuckled, her English accent still pronounced.
Jeonghan couldn’t help but grin as he added, “She’s English.”
“She’s from the United Kingdom,” Hoshi chimed in, nodding as if to emphasize the point.
“It's her accent,” Joshua pointed out, sharing in the playful banter.
Mingyu, always one for humor, threw in his own comment, “She said it the same way Harry Potter would have said it.”
This set the members off, as they began mimicking her accent, each one trying their best to sound as authentic as Luna had.
“Authentic. Authentic,” Seungkwan said, nodding appreciatively.
Luna, playing along with the joke, repeated her answer once more, this time with a deliberately exaggerated Korean accent, “Harry Potter.”
The room burst into laughter at her playful switch, the tension from the game momentarily forgotten in the shared humor.
“I understand,” PD Na finally said, smiling as he gave her the point. “You got it.”
"Seungkwan is next," PD Na announced, the anticipation building as he turned to the next member. He showed the picture and began counting down, "1, 2, 3."
"Song Kang Ho," Seungkwan answered with confidence, his eyes locked on the screen.
"You got it," PD Na confirmed, causing the room to erupt in applause.
“Okay,” Jeonghan exclaimed, his voice steady and calm, as the group continued their winning streak.
PD Na then turned his attention to Wonwoo, who had stopped pacing and now stood firmly behind his chair, ready to tackle his turn. As the picture was revealed, PD Na began the countdown, "1, 2, 3."
"Hyeri," Wonwoo replied calmly, his voice steady.
The members erupted into excited claps, thrilled by yet another correct answer.
"You got it," PD Na affirmed, pleased with their progress. "You're already halfway."
[It's the peak]
At this point, half of the members were now standing, their energy mixed with excitement and nerves getting to the,
"It's Vernon's turn," PD Na announced, signaling to Vernon who looked intently at him.
PD Na revealed the picture and counted down, "1, 2, 3…"
But nothing came out of Vernon's mouth. The seconds ticked by in silence, and the tension in the room grew palpable.
[Spacing out]
[Blinking]
“Wrong!” PD Na declared, the room filling with a momentary chorus of groans.
However, true to their earlier promise, the members quickly transitioned to compliments, mimicking Vernon’s earlier deadpan tone.
“Well done,” they chorused, surrounding him and clapping enthusiastically.
“Good job.”
“Well done.”
“Good job.”
“You did great.”
[They're complimenting him]
They high-fived him and shook his hand, their smiles wide as they supported their teammate despite the sarcasm dripping in their voices.
[Everyone wants to shake his hand]
Luna, still seated, couldn’t help but laugh at the scene unfolding before her. The group’s playful nature always brought light to even the most competitive moments.
“So? Kimchi slap?” Minghao joked, holding up the container of kimchi, which caused PD Na and the writers to burst into laughter. Minghao then walked off to remove the kimchi from the table, still grinning.
[Kimchi is leaving]
“Good job. Well done,” Jeonghan clapped, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
[When we're having a hard time, we compliment]
Suddenly, Vernon casually picked up the yogurt Seungkwan had been hiding earlier and began drinking it, catching everyone off guard.
[I drink yogurt when I'm sad]
“When did you take it?” PD Na asked, his tone filled with curiosity, while Seungkwan looked at Vernon, eyes wide with shock and a touch of betrayal, considering he had been the one to smuggle the yogurt earlier.
“I brought it from home,” Vernon said casually, clearly lying but with such a straight face that it only added to the hilarity of the situation.
“It was fun. Good job,” Minghao said, clapping for their efforts as they all returned to their seats.
[But the table is empty]
Back in their seats, the group settled down, the atmosphere still buzzing with excitement. Mingyu, ever the instigator, leaned forward and asked, “Any bonus round?”
Jeonghan, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, gestured toward the rice and soup they were supposed to receive for free. “With everything one more time,” he suggested, the familiar spark of a bet flickering across his face.
[Shameless]
Luna simply grinned at this, already accustomed to Jeonghan’s penchant for bets, while PD Na and the writers exchanged shocked glances.
“What?” one of the writers said in a high-pitched tone, their disbelief evident, which only served to amplify the laughter in the room, with Dokyeom laughing the loudest.
[Is he here to bargain with Dormammu?]
“'What?'” Luna mimicked the writer’s tone, followed quickly by Joshua, who couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. “'What?'”
“The final round with all food,” Jeonghan said, his lazy smirk still plastered on his face but with a seriousness that made it clear he wasn’t joking. “We won’t have rice.”
“We’ll bet rice and soup,” S.Coups chimed in, adding to the stakes.
“You’ll starve?” PD Na asked, his tone a mix of concern and amusement.
“Yes,” Jeonghan replied, his smirk never wavering.
“We can’t let them starve,” PD Na said to the writers, trying to gauge how serious the members were.
“It’s okay,” Hoshi interjected.
“We don’t mind. We skip meals often.” Jeonghan said.
“Hunger got us this far,” Seungkwan added with a solemn nod, making Luna nod in agreement as well.
“We’re betting rice and soup too,” Hoshi declared, his tone final.
“We’re putting everything on the line.” S.Coups gestured to the rice and soup.
“You should too,” Luna joined in, her voice filled with playful defiance.
“We’re betting our all,” Jeonghan reiterated. “You should bet your all too.”
S.Coups nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on PD Na.
“Yung Suk,” Seungkwan called out, using PD Na’s first name with an exaggerated sigh to convince him, causing PD Na to laugh despite himself.
“All versus all,” Vernon clapped, fueling the enthusiasm of the group.
“But there’s a big gap between the two,” Dokyeom chuckled, acknowledging the absurdity of the bet.
“I’ll bet soup, rice, and S.Coups,” Mingyu listed with a grin, knowing the stakes were now absurdly high.
[We're good]
“Okay. Let’s go,” PD Na finally agreed, which prompted the group to erupt into claps and excited exclamations.
[All versus all]
“From this moment on, I’ll be CARAT’s enemy. I’m going to make you starve,” PD Na said, his tone mock-serious.
[That's Producer Na's opinion]
“I’m afraid CARAT will be like, ‘We’re sorry,’” Seungkwan joked, causing another round of laughter.
“But we have a chance. We got this,” Hoshi said, wrapping his arms around Luna and Seungkwan, who had moved seats earlier and was now next to Luna.
“We got this,” Jeonghan agreed, his confidence unwavering.
“I can feel it,” Hoshi added, his tone optimistic.
“We always succeeded in the end,” S.Coups said, his voice filled with determination.
[Subtitle to retrieve our reputation]
[The leader stands out in crisis]
“We always succeeded in the end,” Luna repeated, nodding in agreement.
“Are we going to compliment again even if someone messes it up?” Mingyu asked, looking around the group.
“Are we going to compliment again?” Dokyeom echoed, his curiosity piqued.
“We should,” Jeonghan nodded, as if setting the rule.
“Do you want to curse this time?” Dokyeom asked, half-serious.
“Curse?” Jeonghan laughed, the idea amusing him.
“Someone might curse,” Luna chuckled, imagining the scenario.
“Let’s compliment,” Dokyeom decided, his tone firm.
“Yes, we should compliment,” Hoshi agreed, his voice supportive.
“We’re a positive band,” Jeonghan declared, the sentiment echoed by the others.
As the banter continued, Joshua, who had been relatively quiet, suddenly spoke up from his spot next to Jeonghan. “I’m getting nervous,” he admitted, his voice tinged with anticipation.
Jeonghan, always the attentive one, reached into his pocket and pulled out the candy he had received earlier. Without missing a beat, he handed it to Joshua. “When you’re nervous, have something sweet.”
[The chocolate he got earlier]
Joshua smiled, taking the candy gratefully before eating it.
[Recharging thanks to his friend]
Meanwhile, Jeonghan fished out the last candy from his pocket, catching Luna’s attention. Their eyes met, and without a word, Jeonghan unwrapped the candy and held it up to her mouth.
[The twin bunnies share]
Luna stared at it for a few seconds, her gaze locked on Jeonghan’s as she contemplated his gesture. Then, with a small smile, she leaned in and bit the candy in half, the sound crisp as she did so. She nodded her head towards Jeonghan, signaling for him to have the other half, knowing he had planned to eat it before offering it to her.
“Thank you,” Luna said softly, her voice filled with a warmth that made Jeonghan hum in acknowledgment before popping the other half into his mouth.
The SEVENTEEN members continued to watch with focused anticipation as PD Na and the writers huddled together, deliberating over which pictures to use for the final bonus round.
[Selecting questions]
Mingyu, always the one to lighten the mood, leaned in and told the group, “Watch Producer Na’s glasses carefully. You might see the reflection.”
The suggestion was so absurd that it drew immediate laughter from everyone. Jeonghan, chuckling, turned to Mingyu. “On his glasses?”
S.Coups, unable to contain his amusement, shook his head. “Are you a gambler or what?”
Before the teasing could continue, PD Na’s voice cut through the laughter. “Are you ready?”
“Yes, we’re ready,” Jeonghan responded confidently, his tone steady.
“We’re going all in,” Hoshi added, his voice filled with determination.
PD Na hesitated for a moment, the concern evident in his tone. “I’d feel so bad if you don’t eat anything…”
But the group was resolute. “We’ll be fine,” Luna said, nodding in agreement.
“It’s okay,” Dokyeom echoed, his usual cheerfulness still intact.
“It’s fine,” Jun added with a reassuring smile.
One of the writers, catching PD Na’s conflicted expression, spoke up, “You decided to be the enemy.”
“CARAT’s enemy,” Dokyeom repeated with a dramatic flair, eliciting more laughter from the group.
“Right. I decided to be CARAT’s enemy,” PD Na sighed, but the laughter that followed showed that no one was taking it too seriously.
Seungkwan, ever the spokesperson, chimed in with a grin, “We’re grateful for this chance.”
PD Na, playing along with the joke, nodded solemnly. “You should remind them later.”
“I’ll record that separately later,” Seungkwan joked, his quick wit earning more chuckles.
[The real last round]
“Do I go first? I’ll go first,” Mingyu volunteered, his competitive nature shining through.
[Mingyu will go first for a safe start]
As the others agreed, Mingyu couldn’t resist adding with confidence, “You can start with a hard one.”
[He stays laid back]
"Here we go," PD Na announced, his voice filled with a mix of anticipation and seriousness as he showed the picture to Mingyu. The entire room held its breath as PD Na began the countdown, "1, 2, 3."
"Umji," Mingyu answered without missing a beat.
"You got it," PD Na confirmed, and a wave of relieved cheers and claps echoed around the room.
"Good job," Luna’s voice called out from the other side of the line, her tone warm and supportive.
Next in line was Woozi, who, in his quiet determination, murmured to himself, "I know them all."
PD Na held up the next picture and started counting down once more, "1, 2, 3."
"Joo Hyun Young," Woozi answered, his voice calm and confident.
"You got it," PD Na said again, validating Woozi’s answer. The room buzzed with excitement, the members feeding off the positive momentum they had built.
Jeonghan, who had been pacing behind the seats with Wonwoo, paused, watching Dokyeom who was next in line. "We’re on a roll now. We got this," Mingyu encouraged, the energy high.
"Dokyeom, don't be nervous. Chill out," Seungkwan added, his tone soothing.
[His record today: He got Calm Down Man. He also got a warning]
The pressure was on as PD Na presented the next picture and began the countdown, "1, 2, 3."
"Sunshine," Dokyeom blurted out, his voice confident at first, but as he tilted his head in realization, he knew he had missed the mark.
"Wrong!" PD Na announced, and the room erupted into laughter.
[Shining wrong answer]
Mingyu, in a dramatic display of defeat, collapsed onto the ground.
[He feels like his shoulder shrank by 1cm]
The members' laughter was infectious, with Joshua and S.Coups chiming in, "Sun," trying to correct Dokyeom's slip-up.
"Ahh, Sun," Dokyeom whined, sinking to the floor in mock despair.
[Oh, Sun]
"You met her just the other day," Seungkwan pointed out, half-laughing, half-scolding.
[They met for 'Amazing Saturday' 2 days ago]
"You met her on the show the other day," S.Coups added, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Sunshine," Luna giggled as she stood up, joining the group that was now surrounding the fallen Dokyeom.
The laughter continued as Dino slowly approached Dokyeom, ready to deliver a playful jab. Recalling his own earlier impression but with a twist, he leaned in and said with exaggerated seriousness, "Ya!… you bastard. Why would you get it wrong, you son of a bitch?"
[It's a compliment]
[SEVENTEEN is a very positive band]
[The youngest spoke up for everyone]
The room exploded with laughter, Dokyeom laughing the hardest as he clung to Dino’s legs in mock desperation.
[DK is happy]
Even PD Na, the writers, and the crew couldn’t hold back their laughter, the atmosphere light and joyful despite the mistake.
[Final result] [They lost everything]
As the laughter finally began to die down, PD Na clapped his hands together and said, "It's over."
The declaration made the members stand from their seats, with no complaints, just a collective acceptance.
"Let's go," they said, their voices in sync as they began to move.
[Getting ready to leave]
"We should be cool about it," Hoshi said, earning nods of agreement from the others.
"We shouldn't beg," Jeonghan added, his voice firm but lighthearted.
"Okay. Well done," PD Na said, acknowledging their efforts. The members bowed in thanks, their gratitude genuine despite the outcome.
[SEVENTEEN will look for their next chance]
With that, they headed back out to the green room, the playful energy from before lingering as they prepared for the next segment.
[Break]
The members of SEVENTEEN moved out toward the green room, their steps light and laughter filling the air. Jeonghan and Luna walked hand in hand, Luna's steps playful as she skipped along. The warmth between them was palpable, a quiet connection that spoke volumes amidst the group's playful banter.
"It's fun to be with everyone," Dino said, his gaze wandering to the basketball court set up nearby, a hint of excitement in his voice.
"I can't believe we got to do this," Dokyeom added, the wonder still fresh in his tone.
"Seungkwan is on a roll today," Vernon remarked, a grin spreading across his face.
"I know, he was hilarious," Mingyu chimed in, clearly enjoying the memory of Seungkwan's antics.
As they neared the green room, the conversation shifted to the perfect weather that had accompanied their day. "It's such nice weather," S.Coups noted, his eyes scanning the clear sky.
"It's so nice. There's a cool breeze," Wonwoo agreed, his voice soft as he soaked in the moment.
"I love the sunshine," Luna added, her head tilted up towards the sun, her eyes closing in contentment. The unintentional nod to Dokyeom's earlier mistake made everyone burst out laughing.
"Sunshine," Dokyeom laughed, throwing his arm around Luna in a hug. "The sunshine is just so warm."
As they reached the green room, the reality of their earlier bet sank in. "Do we really get no food?" Dokyeom asked his tone a mix of disbelief and hope.
"Of course," Mingyu answered with a grin, his voice playful yet firm as they finally stepped outside the green room.
[They're moving to the green room as they talk about the Character Quiz]
The members naturally settled into their own activities, some remained inside the green room, while others wandered outside, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
Jeonghan and Luna found themselves lingering by the doorway, sharing a quiet moment. With the door slightly ajar, the sunlight filtered through, casting a soft glow on their faces. Jeonghan leaned casually against the doorframe, his posture relaxed, while Luna stood nearby, her fingers lightly grazing the frame as if tracing invisible patterns. Their eyes were on each other as they quietly conversed. The air around them seemed to hum with unspoken words, a tension both innocent and charged, lingering in the subtle distance between them.
Suddenly, their attention was drawn to the staff, who were lighting up the candles on a cake. The realization quickly spread as they understood who the cake was for.
[They see a staff lighting candles on a cake despite the strong wind]
[Jeonghan] [Not the birthday boy] [Born on October 4]
[Luna] [Not the birthday girl] [Born on January 30]
"Mingyu," one of the staff called out.
Mingyu turned around, his eyes lighting up as he spotted the cake. His birthday had been three days ago, but the gesture touched him deeply.
[Mingyu] [The birthday boy] [Born on April 6]
[A small birthday party for Mingyu whose birthday was 3 days before the shoot]
"Thank you," he marveled, taking the cake into his hands, his voice full of gratitude.
"Thank you," Seungkwan echoed, as the rest of the members began to gather around the cake, their excitement palpable.
[We couldn't give you any food, but we'll still celebrate your birthday]
"Yay," Mingyu said with a wide grin, genuinely touched by the surprise.
"What a nice show," Seungkwan remarked, appreciating the gesture.
"That looks really good," Vernon added, joining the others.
Mingyu then approached the nearest camera, holding up the cake with pride.
[Let's get the close-up first]
"Wow. Let's eat," Mingyu announced, placing the cake on the ledge in front of the green room, the members eagerly crowding around.
"Mingyu, did they put anything inside?" Dokyeom joked, his tone light and teasing.
"No one is reliable," S.Coups chimed in, playing along with the joke.
"Wow, it looks good," Luna said, moving closer to them, her eyes fixed on the cake.
"Let's try the chocolate cake," Jeonghan suggested, reaching for chopsticks as they began to dig in, the atmosphere filled with chatter and chewing.
"It's really sweet. I love it," Mingyu said after his first bite, his face lighting up with satisfaction.
Luna took her own bite, her eyes widening in delight as she did a little happy dance. "It's amazing," she exclaimed, her voice full of genuine pleasure.
"Wow," Jeonghan echoed, savoring the sweetness as he took his own bite.
"Really? That good?" Wonwoo asked as he arrived, curious about the reactions.
"It's so good," Mingyu assured him, already reaching for another piece.
"Jeonghan, do you eat cakes?" Dokyeom asked with a playful grin.
Luna, without missing a beat, offered a piece to Wonwoo, who gladly accepted it. "Try," she said with a smile as he took a bite.
"Are you eating it just because you need sugar?" Wonwoo teased Jeonghan, a knowing look in his eyes.
"That's exactly why," Luna nodded, her tone conspiratorial as she and Jeonghan exchanged a glance.
"Help yourselves," Seungkwan said, returning with more chopsticks to share among the group.
[Seungkwan is sweet enough to get them chopsticks]
[The cake turned into a meal in front of the green room]
"Happy birthday, Mingyu," Wonwoo added, his voice warm and sincere.
"This is so good," Vernon said, his approval echoed by the others as they continued to enjoy the cake, the sweetness of the moment shared among friends.
[Celebrating his birthday again with a delicious cake]
[They continued eating the cake]
[Have a proper meal next time]
[To be continued in Clip 2-1]

Soompi 240111 🌷 Minnie
< series masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SEVENTEEN’s Minnie joins the cast of the upcoming variety show “Apartment 404”!
The idol singer will be starring alongside comedy legends Yoo Jae Suk and Yang Se Chan, as well as actress Oh Na Ra and actors Lee Jung Ha, and Cha Taehyun. Created by Jung Chul Min, other known as PD Jung, who has already been credited with the hit variety show “Sixth Sense”, the six entertainers will have to solve the mystery behind multiple curious events that occur in their new residence.
tvN’s upcoming “Apartment 404” will mark Minnie’s first ever fixed casting in a variety show made for television! In the past, selected episodes of the idol’s group own YouTube entertainment show “Going Seventeen”, have been aired on TV, gaining her and the rest of the members a lot of national attention, as well as praise.
“I watched the first ever Gose (short for “Going Seventeen”) episode on JTBC, back in 2021 and just couldn’t stop laughing,” PD Jung told the reporter. “I was so surprised how idols could be so effortlessly funny. All of them seemed so smart while reaching such a high level of comedy.”
When asked how the producers came to choose Minnie, Jung Chul Min explained, “It was almost by accident. We were in a meeting and just talking about other possible cast members. Of course, we all knew that we’d need relatable and funny characters that would be entertaining to watch.” After a lot of back and forth, Minnie’s name fell and the room started laughing. “Kim Minnie is a very well acclaimed name, not only within South Korea, but also internationally, so she seemed very out of reach.”
After all, SEVENTEEN have reached the achievements “fastest selling global album of the century”, “first artist to exceed 3 million copies sold in the first day of release in Hanteo’s history”, and “highest pre-orders for albums in history, with 4.6 million sales”.
“But Yoo Jae Suk convinced us to ask her.”
The comedy legend and Minnie had already met years ago during an episode of “Running Man”, where the idol singer had appeared as a guest star. They seemed to have grown closer and kept in touch even after the shoot.
“SEVENTEEN was still on tour and had just finished filming another variety show with Na PD, but she found time to meet up with us and agreed almost immediately,” PD Jung recalled. “She shared her personal schedule and we set up filming dates right away. It must’ve been so busy for her… I remember her telling us that she had just landed and came to set right from the airport. I really respect her dedication.”
Filming for the variety show started last year, already gaining a lot of Carats’ attention when a picture of the cast was posted on Social Media.
Tumblr media
Twitter, Instagram, and Naver exploded with interested fans, who couldn’t believe their eyes.
“Since when is Minnie doing variety shows?!?!”
“IS THAT MINNIE FROM SEVENTEEN???”
“Jaesuk and minnie back together after running man😭😭 omg I’m so excited for this”
“Seventeen seems to be doing more tv stuff nowadays, I’m really happy!”
“Whatever this is, you better bet I’m watching it!!!!”
“Casting her turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” the producer admitted. He promised that Carats and variety show fans will be very happy with her appearance.
The show will air on February 15 on tvN and will make its international debut on prime video on February 23. The teaser has already got us on our tippy toes!

I watched the first episode today and remembered I had this in my drafts🙃

Can I Be The Only Guy You Call Oppa?
Tumblr media
The bright lights of the Running Man set felt exhilarating as Ruby adjusted her microphone. This was her first time on the popular variety show, and she was ready to bring her A-game. Beside her stood her fellow guests: Taeyong, Jaehyun, Johnny, and Mark from NCT, and Lee Taemin, her long-time idol and the source of more than a few embarrassing stories she’d tried to bury.
The regular cast of Running Man was already in high spirits, teasing the guests and making everyone laugh during the introductions. Yoo Jae-suk, the MC, couldn’t help but comment, “Ruby, you’re seated next to Taemin. How does it feel to sit next to a legend?”
Ruby’s cheeks turned pink, but she managed a composed response. “It’s an honor! I’ve been a fan since I was little.”
“Little?!” Kim Jong-kook teased, his booming laugh echoing. “You’re making him sound old!”
The set erupted in laughter, and Taemin chuckled shyly, rubbing the back of his neck.
As the show progressed, the group played a series of chaotic games that had everyone laughing and cheering. Ruby quickly became a fan favorite on set, her quick wit and competitive spirit shining through. But the most anticipated segment of the day was the heartbeat game.
Yoo Jae-suk explained the rules: “The goal is to raise the girl’s heartbeat. Ruby, you’re up! Each guy will have one chance to do or say something to make your heart race. The one who gets the highest heartbeat wins.”
Ruby’s heart sank and soared at the same time. She wasn’t sure whether to be thrilled or mortified, especially since Taemin was one of the competitors.
The cast cheered as the NCT members lined up first. Mark went first, doing a playful dance to try and make Ruby laugh. The others cheered him on, but when her heartbeat was revealed, it barely budged.
Johnny tried his signature smirk and a suave compliment. “Ruby, are you sure you’re not an angel? Because I think heaven’s looking for you.”
Ruby laughed, shaking her head. “Nice try, Johnny!” Her heartbeat stayed steady.
Jaehyun and Taeyong tried next, with Jaehyun serenading her with his smooth vocals and Taeyong attempting a dramatic movie-like proposal. Both efforts were charming, but her heartbeat stayed unimpressed.
Finally, it was Taemin’s turn.
The moment he stepped forward, the atmosphere shifted. Even the cast and crew seemed to lean in, anticipating what would happen. Ruby already felt her pulse quicken as Taemin, with his calm and collected demeanor, stood in front of her.
“Ruby,” he said softly, his voice smooth and warm. “Can I hold your hand?”
The room erupted in whistles and cheers, and Ruby’s face turned a deep shade of red. Hesitating for just a moment, she nodded, letting him gently take her hand.
The monitor displaying her heartbeat spiked dramatically, causing everyone to burst out laughing. “Look at that!” Yoo Jae-suk exclaimed. “She’s done for!”
Ruby covered her face with her free hand, trying to hide her embarrassment, but Taemin’s quiet laughter didn’t help.
“Wait, wait,” Kim Jong-kook said, grinning. “What happens if they hold hands for longer? Will her heart explode?”
“Let’s take it up a notch,” Haha suggested mischievously. “Taemin, say something romantic. Direct eye contact!”
Taemin’s eyes widened slightly, his usual calm cracking under the pressure. “Me?!”
Taeyong nudged him with a grin. “You’ve got this, hyung. Be bold!”
Taemin laughed nervously but then straightened, slipping into his professional, charismatic mode. He turned to Ruby, their hands still clasped, and gazed at her earnestly.
“Ruby,” he began, his voice soft yet steady. “I want to ask you something.”
Ruby couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes, her heart pounding so loudly she was sure everyone could hear it. She nodded, barely managing a whisper. “O-okay.”
Taemin took a deep breath, his cheeks tinged pink, but his tone was serious. “Can I be the only guy you call oppa?"
The room erupted into chaos. Cast members yelled, the NCT members jumped out of their seats, and even the crew behind the cameras burst into laughter and cheers.
Ruby’s jaw dropped, and for a moment, she couldn’t process what he’d just said. Then, as if on autopilot, she nodded shyly, her voice barely audible. “Yes… Oppa.”
Taemin’s blush deepened, but a radiant smile broke across his face, his happiness so evident that even the cameras seemed to catch it.
Yoo Jae-suk waved his arms frantically. “Okay, okay, let’s stop before this becomes a dating show! PD-nim, reveal the results!”
The monitor flashed the results, and as expected, Taemin’s score was miles ahead of everyone else’s. The cast teased them relentlessly, and Jaehyun jokingly threw his arms up in mock defeat.
“I knew we didn’t stand a chance,” Jaehyun said, grinning.
“Me neither,” Taeyong added. “Ruby-ah, your bias is showing!”
Kim Jong-kook laughed so hard he had to wipe tears from his eyes. “Taemin and Ruby, you two should start dating already. Look how perfect you are together!”
The cast began chanting, “Date! Date! Date!” making both Ruby and Taemin blush furiously. Ruby couldn’t stop laughing in embarrassment, while Taemin looked like he wanted to disappear but couldn’t stop smiling.
As the segment wrapped up, Ruby glanced at Taemin, their eyes meeting briefly before they both looked away, grinning like teenagers.It was a moment neither of them—and the viewers—would forget anytime soon.

I would imagine jaehyun to be very funny in Na pd’s show. He would thrive there cause na pd loves to pick on introverts who are inside their own bubble which would put him in the highlight. I personally love that kind of format from na pd show especially in the early shows like 2d1n and njtw. The pd plays a character that breaks the ‘fourth wall’ which throws off the viewers. We can see this element for a bit in running man when members attack the pd instead of the members or getting their cameraman involved. It also inspires the recently emerging style of including interactions with crews (like laughing and bantering in the background) like in mmtg, leeyoungji show, workman and more where it becomes their signature. The boundaries between crew and star is becoming more lose. But so far Na Pd is the only one that becomes as popular as the star and becomes a character himself. This format is more popular with youngsters and can be seen more on youtube.
So far, this type of show that doyoung has been to were mmtg and jonathan’s show which i think he did quite well in both shows. A lot of the shows he frequents are kinda old-school tv shows. Which works for him to some extend cause his variety skill show is kinda old school as well. He’s not naturally funny. I mean the man admit it himself. He’s textbook funny. He learns how to be funny. He needs to put effort to be seen especially if it’s not with other neos. Nothing wrong with that and I guess that made him the safe choice all the time. Not naturally funny but he puts in the work on camera and nice to work with bts. What’s not to love.
I noticed that western audiences likes naturally funny person more (limited to what i can see in kpop twt and popular yt channel). Like laidback and doesn’t try to be funny. Not too sure about korean audience. If we look at yoo jae suk and kwangsoo, i would say one is text and one is naturally funny but both leaves great impressions.
Evening talk shows on TV have some convos between the host and the music band, for example, there is audience present that cheers and shouts something. YT shows lack it, so I guess this trend of involving staff is an alternative. The viewer behind the screen should get the feeling that he/she is a part of the audience as well.
Na PD chose all the participants himself. And he called Do "our Doyoung-ie", so he already had a positive impression of him. I think Do knowing 80% of the cast played a big role as well in this case.
All neos were sent to shows (radio, MC on music shows, a panelist on programmes, team games). However, not all continue as not everyone are able. Yes, it's not just about being funny or entertaining, it's also about coming ready and connecting with other guests and hosts, being quick to adjust and being versatile (and willing, being interested in this activity in the first place). The way Doyoung got his own weekly Do!Digest segment on EnNaNa despite all 127 neos visiting JohnJae as guest MCs at one point. Or the way Yuta is doing his radio for the 3d year, while Renjun and Chenle did it short-term.
I think, there is a snow ball effect in place. It's important to show positive signs in the early stages to continue on this MC/variety/TV personality path. The window of opportunity for an idol is not very big. Because at first it's SM coming with "take our idol we selected" and later it's directors themselves with "give us this idol pretty please". And, naturally, the gap in skills and experience is growing with each passing year among the members who go on TV shows and who don't. SM's interest is in promotion of the newest groups, so their pushing will eventually shift to the youngest (Sohee and Shion as MCs). And of course the company is more interested in sending groups (the way Dream often goes on shows but all together or 2-3 members). The initial point is promotion of the groups through their representatives, not promotion of a single member. Some fans get it backwards. As well as feign forgetfulness as if their biases never went on shows and programmes.
But back to Doyoung and "text-book funny". Doyoung is resourceful (knows a lot) and smart (quick-minded, witty, observant). And he doesn't need to put in effort to be seen when it's a talk show or a competitive game. I disagree with you on that. Plus he has the awkwardness that can be used by editors and made into "funny", he is also noticed a lot for his commentary that he says naturally (like him telling Hyo about SNSD gathering).
Everyone needs to put in effort before the camera or given a task/put in a scripted situation that will bring something out of them. Doyoung stretched during a break on GC and was given his solo screentime, and you are saying he is not noticeable.
Doyoung isn't pushed as a comedian and the funny guy, anyway. Initially he was sent on shows as a talker: either as MC or as a guest on a panel. This variety thing is recent. He guested once and was asked to come again, and precisely because he can create entertainment himself either by contrast or by sense. "I live alone" is a challenge for him, we discussed it, but it will be for majority. Even seasoned comedians fail from time to time.
Shy naturally funny people like Jaehyun need special settings. Either a good host/director, that can highlight him (the way you described Na PD) or a familiar company (the way Jae delivers when he is together with Do). Jae was mediocre as Inkigayo MC and fun as Show Champion MC.
Suho on Game caterers would tank if not for the help of everyone around him. He wasn't funny, others made him look funny.
What Do needs is to be more like Leeteuk. Get rid of very fake gestures (hand in mouth) and say comments and do transitions smoother.

Para bintang acara variety show 'Running Man' baru saja menggelar fanmeeting di Jakarta pada Sabtu (11/8). Saat bertemu Indra Herlambang selaku host, Ji Suk Jin sempat berseloroh jika Indra adalah kembarannya.

Highlights from the Fan Meeting
(took longer than planned. sorry..)
So, there were definitely A LOT of people watching during the event. At one point, it reached 26k viewers - but it could have been higher than that. They were also broadcasting through VLive so there were more. 
There was an earlier interview thing that was reposted later on on Instagram. I’m not sure if that was something exclusive to SK viewers or if it really was just a private interview (saw a news outlet’s watermark somewhere; Yonhap News’, I think). 
Either way, in that interview, Cho PD participated. He wasn’t there for the international fan meet, though.
Anyway, here are the highlights in a (mostly) chronological order:
• During the opening, the cast were introduced. Jaesuk or the MC did mention straight off the bat that this will be the final season. 
• Sejeong roasted Kwangsoo because of his hair 😂 It’s currently very long because he and Sehun had been filming for Pirates 2; Sehun’s hair was long-ish as well. But yeah - he got the most teasing because his hair is as long as Sejeong’s now lol
•  Okay, I gotta mention this: Jongmin was DRESSED TO THE T. He looked so nice, but it was so cute! He was just so determined to impress the international fans present. It just showed how much he cared about us and about how we felt about him. 
So yes: if you haven’t yet, give Jongmin some love. 
He was also asked at one point who he felt the closest to among the cast members, and y’all - he hesitated 😭😭 It was obvious he wanted to say he felt the closest to Sejeong, but he got scared because he thought the fans who were there might get mad at him 😭
But Sejeong, being the sweetheart that she is, kept encouraging him to pick her anyway by throwing hearts at him 🥰
Y’all, what are we gonna do once this show is over? This brOTP is the best when it came to roasting people! And they act like fr siblings 😭😭
• On the same question, after Jongmin did pick Sejeong, Kwangsoo made a remark, saying that he thought Jongmin was going to choose him. He looked hurt 😂
Side note: are we finally getting more Jongmin and Kwangsoo scenes this season?? 😃
• Not that long after, they played a game. Three of the cast members were chosen prior to the meet to draw a picture summarizing an episode. The rest had to guess where it was from. 
Kwangsoo was the first to go, and his clue - drawn nicely - pointed to S1EP5, The Last Vampire. Jaesuk was the first one to solve it, mentioning that it was the episode Park Hae-jin was in.
Seunggi was next, and it took the cast a while to figure out which episode it is. Can’t remember who solved it or if Seunggi just gave them the answer, but it was depicting one of the final scenes in S2EP10, The Flower of Death. It was that part where they were in Flower Killer’s hideout, when he finally told them who he really was while standing over Minjae. 
Kwangsoo afterwards said he was surprised by how terrible(?) Seunggi’s drawing skills were. Seunggi just laughed. 
Sejeong was next. She drew the detective team (beautifully, btw), and underneath the picture were the words versus + seven silhouettes with question marks on their faces. 
Kwangsoo praised Sejeong for her great drawing skills, and the cast agreed. 
The cast eventually figured out which episode, but they were hesitant to really speak of it.
It was then revealed that it’s an episode/case where the detective team faces off with a copycat team. We will see this and find out who the copycat seven are in S3. 
• Afterwards, they did this thing where a roulette chooses one of the members, the MC reads the messages written to them by fellow cast members, and they guess who they think it’s from. 
I’ll probably make another post later for this if you guys want since I can’t remember everything that was said, but basically...
> Jaesuk received messages from Sehun and Seunggi. Can’t remember what Seunggi said, but Sehun pretty much just thanked Jaesuk for teaching him 10% of what he needed to know about variety (he said the other 90% he learned himself lol) 
> Seunggi received messages from Sehun and Minyoung.
> Kwangsoo received messages from Jaesuk and Sejeong. Jaesuk said in his message that he highly valued him and Jongmin - and he asked them to stay with him forever (😭)
Meanwhile, Sejeong said that she’s thankful and sorry to Kwangsoo. When asked what she was sorry about, she said it was because she knew there were moments when it needed to be funny, and Kwangsoo would make a fool of himself to make that happen. 
(Side note: she interacted a lot with Kwangsoo this fan meet, too, so I have hope that I will also get the Kwangsoo and Sejeong brOTP scenes I’ve been asking for 🙌🏼)
> Minyoung received messages from Jaesuk and Jongmin.
> Jongmin received messages from Kwangsoo and Sejeong (my other brOT3 😭❤️)
> Sehun received messages from Jongmin and Minyoung. Jongmin said in his message that he was sorry to Sehun because he didn’t (couldn’t?) take care of him better. 
> Sejeong received messages from Jaesuk and Minyoung. Minyoung asked somewhere in her message for them to have a drink together some time, while Jaesuk asked Sejeong if she could help Kwangsoo land a role in her current drama 😂
Kwangsoo then revealed that Jaesuk always does that: whenever he meets with his friends and other celebrities, he always asks them to cast Kwangsoo in their drama or movie. The cast laughed. 
Seunggi then mentioned afterwards that he’s currently working on a new drama or movie (not sure which one), and he offered Kwangsoo the role of a mouse lol
• That was then followed by the Thank You messages from the fans. Some of you may be aware of this, but about a week and a half ago, on IG, the Busted Netflix official account asked fans to submit a 10 second video of themselves saying “Thank you, Team Busted!” in their native language. 
It was so cute, you guys! It just showed how much the cast and crew were loved by many all over the world. 
Although: there was one fan from Sweden or Norway who had a whole PROJECT D MARK HANGING ON HIS WALL. THE SAME ONE HANGING OUTSIDE THE MAZE IN C’S LAIR IN THE SERIES PREMIERE.
Where did he get that?? I want one, I’m so jealous!! ☹️
•  The fan meeting closed with messages from the cast. Most of them seemed so tired at this point, but Jaesuk proved to be the best leader the cast/team could ask for even in the end. 
I mentioned this on the first update, but he said he felt sad that the series was coming to an end especially since the cast had such great chemistry. It was heartwarming to hear because it personally gave me a sense of closure. 
To hear a cast member address the feelings a number of us feel is comforting, you know?
• The fan meet ended with bouquets of flowers (non-threatening kind 😏😉) and gift bags for the cast! They were all so pleasantly surprised, and it was so cute. 
Netflix seemed to be aware that the awards season just finished in SK, so they gave each of the members their own trophies bearing personalized awards! It was a weighty trophy, too; the cast commented on it.
I don’t know what the other members received, but Sejeong, I think, got the Bright Future Award. 
Myuk PD later posted on his IG pictures of this big gift bag that Netflix apparently gave him and the other PDs. One of the gifts they received contained a pair of wine glasses with an electric bottle opener in the middle. It was so classy and nice.
Bro - no one can say that Netflix didn’t love the detective team and the creators of the show. They threw all kind of love and attention on them, and they didn’t skimp on the gifts and ads either. 
There are other points from that earlier interview I was talking about, but I’ll put that on a separate post if you’re interested :) 
Detective Fam! There’s literally only two days before the final season drops! For those of you who live on the Eastern hemisphere, it’s just one day and some change! 
Season 3!! Are you guys excited??!
