'Iris 2' Working With 'Die Hard 5' Crew
"Iris 2" is creating a Korean blockbuster.
The new KBS drama "Iris 2" is currently filming in Hungary with the crew of the movie "Die Hard," which also filmed for 4 months on location in Hungary.
This crew had also helped out on "Iris" back in 2009 and they are helping out the drama in filming the intense action sequences that will define the series.
The new movie "A Good Day to Die Hard" is awaiting release in February 2013 and is the 5th installment of the "Die Hard" series. It was also based in Budapest and the crews were incredibly knowledgeable on how to film in the country.

The crews were also impressed with the level of directing for "Iris 2" and were very impressed with Jang Hyuk as well.
One insider said, "We were able to film this thanks to the good relationship between the Korean embassy and the Hungarian government. The tourism board has been really helpful in allowing us to shoot on location."
The drama premieres February 13th, 2013.

121129 [TWITTER] 'All the K-POP' Ji-Hun Won's tweet + photo of Mir


[All The K-POP] Our MC Mir who had returned from a faraway jungle! 2012 November 30th Friday at 11am, 11pm~ You can spend your last day of November excitedly with Mir^-^

121129 [OTHER] SPECIAL INTERVIEW: MBLAQ and Their Managers from 'Idol Manager'.

[Center] There is an idol group holding the center spot of attention, MBLAQ, and they have a special show where they got the opportunity to join Miss Kim SaeRom who has the role of one of their manager, but also to join Miss Jun Yul who is a member of one girl group called STELLAR. In addition there is also Miss Park Kyung Lim that made an great job on TvN's 1997 version of 'To respond'. Chung Yul got the spot of favourite manager to work with and caused a great impression on the public.

However, now the managers are more likely to feel the burden of their profissions, we wonder what it would be their reaction, what they expect of it, we tried to listen to everyone including the production and the staffs.

Participants: Co-producer Byung Hun, MBLAQ (Seungho, G.O, Mir, Cheondung and Joon), Park Kyung Lim, Kim Sae Rum, Jun Yul and the columnist Jung Sokhee.

Jung Sokhee: As a production staff, what do you think about the idol group MBLAQ?

Co-Producer: I think that as entertainers, I'm grateful. Of course that there are parts you want to hide in a way or another, but they eventuallyy show us that even though we're hesitant about it, it can be appreciated. The most important part is that MBLAQ are enthusiastic idols specially in musical terms. Those kids put out a song and practice pretty hard to perform it on stage. They want to show their music themselfs to everyone that wants to hear. Their are one of the best in variety shows, I think there isn't much biased on that area thanks to MBLAQ.

Seungho: This show has become an opportunity to go back to the basics again. I think you could have got an idea that it was trough convenience, that it was easy to please, but is not like that. I would like to think that honestly our sense of responsibility has rised and that we'll take this experience to work hard in the close future.

Jung Sokhee: I think that when I looked trough this show, it was good to be able to see a new side of you, G.O.

Kim Sae Rum: He's an interesting man, it was the first time that I got to know so much about him.

Jung Sokhee: Miss Sae Rum, you got criticized considerably even if it was your first time, how did you felt?

Kim Sae Rum: Since it was a variety show I tried to show the best of me, still it reflect on my career to some extent, it didn't made much damaged though. I'm familiar with they personality now. Kyung Lim Unnie and Jun Yul-ah too. But since I start to carry the 'manager' title it made me feel a bit overlaid in the inside, like becoming a real manager. I do think they wanted to be successful with this show, and so did I, there fore I want to take care of it all a little bit more. Cheer for them should be something to give priority in, I know, it still hurt to think about it. Even if we get hurt is understandable because it's a variety show.

SaeRum and Seungho unusual relationship: 

Jung Sokhee: But at the Japan's first concert, everyone were shading tears. Despite of setting the "determines of a woman's position"being with men, have fun with them when they are idols made you sense a slight difference?

Kim Sae Rum: Yes, although it is like this, I believe Sungho has show a way more of what the trully is in this show.

Seungho: Yes, I'm happy to agree with a friend of long years. I don't really argue with an old friend because age is what consent out of the cameras.

Park Kyung lim: I think I know, the idol personality is hard to understand (laughs) you get to know one person and wants to put it all together to really get to know them, but need to be careful with every little situation. Sometimes I just can't handle things on my on and Sae Rum just go like "I do it." I'm thankful for that point and attitude in the show.

Seungho: I would like to applaud your courage in saying it. (laughs)

Co-Producer: Is that kind of reaction we all have, we know a lot. However like Kyung Lim was saying that other day to SaeRum "I know it's not the true you, but it's not so different from what you really are." Eventyally I understood what it has to take to appear in the broadcast and still be critcized over it. I think Sae Rum over come a lot with this, Kyung Lim grew up as well, Jun Yul seems to have prepared herself even more since she's a rookie and I can't interfere on it easily. If we asked for a character, none of them the managers or MBLAQ would had agreed.

Seungho: Actually, when I heard that it would be three managers I got worried at fisrt. Kyung Lim's relationship with her unnie is well-kown and even if it wasn't the case Jun Yul was still very new. I think I came to look out for their role as our manager properly, is their place with us and we protect it. I laugh sometimes at Sae Rum's full of energy actions, Jun Yul's 'okay do it in your way' actitude, but with the effort in order to not let us down in her doive. Everyone does not need to become a hero on this, it isn't a drama. Among us who always make up togheter and cooperat with each other, support each other, we creat a better show. No one wants to stand out, or greed is an healthy one.

Juns Sokhee: Looks like today's Seungho's talking day, it surprised me! (laughs)

Seungho: No, it isn't! It was supposed to be an attempt to connect smoothly the moments (laughs)

Jun Yul beggings with "It's not need to say sorry"? 

Jung Sokhee: Miss Jun Yul being a regular in the cast seems to be on top of everywhere, and ofter concerned a lot of people since this role is not easy, you said that even though you're still young you don't need to be sorry about it?

Park Kyung Lim: Jun Yul's role as a manager is notorious. It is more like a trainee to be one some times? Don't be so worried about how it's turning like. We grow a lot as people when we learn about professionalism with idols and managers, and Jun Yul and MBLAQ's relationship is fully gowing as they keep learning from each other. I think that because the program is called "Idol Manager" we need to teach MBLAQ something, but you can relex, you're becoming great and that's my bet.

Jun Yul: Even if I think about it, the answer is still the same. People prepare shooting without even reflacting about it first, I became a shy rising star in this emergency. I regret, yes, but there is always good in lots of things that can be learned and go on with what you got.

Jung Sokhee: I wondered when Mir would go out of his personality and put himself out of the person who doesn't help a lot. However when I watched it again I saw that it was a really positive point on himself. I feel like I understood why it was that. I think that between the manager and MBLAQ with all the opposite ideas is normal to crash at some point.

Co-Producer: One out the three managers I wanted to keep out the 'senior-junior' relationship. I heard that one of the STELLAR members were a good fan of G.O. And to her become a manager of her favourtie idol is not that dramatic. It was suppose to bring joy to the program. So I think it kind of made them to not se her as a manager, but out of everyone she stand up to show that even if she's young it wouldn't be a bother.

Jung Sokhee: Who is the most indicate to help me? Oh, Jun Yul, you feel that G.O changed during the broadcast?

Jun Yul: I have to say yes, for sure, but he's still G.O.

Our new challenge! Please look forward to it:

Jung Sokhee: By the way, I want to ask you a question Mir, the leader was that scary? (Refering to the day were Seungho acted angry towards Mir).

Mir: No! Look, there is no why! When we met for the first time as trainees, at first I was a little scared, but Seungho Hyung has looking after us in a great way.

Jung Sokhee: When I was watching the recording, I thought he was a natural born leader, I have realized it even when the camera was not around.

Mir: That's not a comment about the broadcast! But yes, It's really like this. I think that if Seungho hyung was really scared I would be the first to run away. (laughs)

Jung Sokhee: There is also a good thing about Miss Park Kyung Lim?

Mir: We're left free, Kyung Lim noona is someone who holds the reins. Shows me that I need to grow up in our day-to-day, wichever is very welcome.

Park Kyung Lim: When I saw the boys for the first time was when they got invited for MBC FM's "Starry Night with Park Kyung Lim". So I really grew attrached to them during the show, the relationship is like mother-sons? I found out not long ago. Really friendly like I'm with my real children. I'm really working hard for them.

Mir: Kyung Lim Noona was with us during many things including one fan meeting so we did many things together. When I got to know she would be one of the managers for the show, I willingly consent it.

Park Kyung Lim: I'm thankful, after Married I just got to have children in a varity show, I didn't got many offers to don't do only talk shows on radio studio. So I really think MBLAQ wanted to put me up again, sometimes I think we have about the same mental age so I just play around with them.

Jung Sokhee: Is good to see that you're all friends and even a family, what do you think of being their saniors in acting?

Park Kyung Lim: I was surprised to co-star with them, I have to work really hard in the futuro (laughs)

G.O: All the members are interested in acting. I'm happy because they have talent and this happens. Seung Ho and I have learned a lot, especially while preparing for the musical.

Jung Sokhee: How long you'll be staging "Gwanghwamun Love Story?"

G.O: Starting with the performance in Osaka on November 10, it's scheaduled to be staged in Tokyo as well. I'm still practicing, I went back to the student life, I think, because acting and vocal classes take a lot of time. The ser is new and field, but its hard to keep it up. I feel like I got myself in a updraded lavel. I want to give the team the feeling that I'm doing my best to learn.

Epilogue.

I heard some news after a few days we got the interviw done, Mir was in South America recording "Law of Jungle 2" He wanted a challenge outside the studio as well and he got the chance! MBLAQ's schedule's really tight, some of the members even slept during the interview, I'm looking forward to see them growing.

121029 [INTERVIEW] Jung Suk Hee’ Interview Part 1. “Idol Manager” MBLAQ is amazing!

Although it has been obscured a lot by the appearance of many gifted people with talents within the last few years, the prejudice against idols still remains as before. Programs with idols as the lead also receive such skewed attention. The thought that they will follow as they are told without subjectivity, the thought that they will just stop their sloppy pretense because of their overseas activities and domestic events and their position of being swung around in tight schedules, these are the sort of stereotype I am talking about. On top of that, as they have so much work that has to be settled and taken care of, it is expected that the production team side has agonized parts that they suffer in silence, and if seeing it from the broadcasting networks’ point of view it may feel like chicken ribs*. If they are to shut their eyes tight and abandon the outward appearances, they will waste the group of fans that shows unlimited interest, but if in reality they work together and tackle it, they have more than one or two things that give them a headache. Perhaps because those factors are at work extensively, when it comes to idol programs only a few of them have done well.
Indeed, even if I review my memory that each fan watches and enjoys them, it is not always the case where they are even well-known to the masses like 2PM’s “Idol Army.” Therefore MBC every1 MBLAQ’s “Idol Manager” also feels like a program made for fans and the like in general and I did not pay much attention to it at the beginning. But watching it one episode after another I gradually changed my view. Idol group MBLAQ who has been into their 4th year after debut, unlike various reality programs they have done since their first appearance on Mnet in 2009 until now. have started leading programs actively. Even last week alone was like that. They wrote songs on the spot and added lyrics to them, as well as had a jam concert and had fun together. Where did the change come from? Luckily I went to find them in person at the shooting scene where they were in the midst of being absorbed in learning acting and tried to get my question answered.
(Participants: PD Ko Byung Hyun, Park Kyung Lim, Seungho, G.O, Cheondung, Mir, Kim Sae Rom, Jeon Yul, Columnist Jung Suk Hee)
All of them are obedient and kind but their subjectivity is more certain than anyone.
JSH: Now that I think about it, honestly the first episode was a bit regretful. Despite going over to Japan and being at a surprising number of overseas locations(?), it looks like it couldn’t fully draw out MBLAQ’s charm. However, you restored your energy since the 3rd and 4th episode, and then you found the right key since the best friend special in the 5th episode, right? How did “Idol Manager” become a plan, by the way? Because I’m informed and while everyone is hard to control, I avoid idols. (laugh)
PD Ko: Isn’t recklessness more interesting instead? MBLAQ is not like that. Actually I don’t know much about idols. The proper coordination with MBLAQ and Park Kyung Lim-ssi’s role are big. We ended up doing it together with Kyung Lim-ssi because MBLAQ members wanted her. She knows them the best and always knows how to take good care of them, so they said let’s do it with her. They also have plenty of talk outside of the broadcast. I’m really pleased with the current work where I respect their opinions and bring out their ideas. The predecessor of this program is MBC every1 “Idol Maid.” While upgrading from “Maid” to “Manager” we worried a lot about how we should fuse the “manager role” into the program. After exchanging many opinions, we drew a conclusion to do it by getting familiar through motives and trying to foster growing idols like the idol we can approach, “g.o.d’s Baby Diary.”
JSH: I suppose it’s not easy to work with idols. If their schedules overlap adjusting them is hard, and they ended up dropping out because of individual activities.
PD Ko: Actually Lee Joon-gun is absent today. It’s sad but it’s the inevitable part. Though I understand, it’s because he’s currently participating in many programs. I really hope we all do it together, but if we gain recognition from the part that has a bit more weight I believe that synergy effect will probably come to us as well. Perhaps because of his tight schedules Lee Joon-gun got sick a lot halfway through. At those times even while he was getting a Ringer** [injection] I let him go to get some rest. It’s because we are a family. Our original plan was that MBLAQ’s new album was scheduled to come out at the end of September or the beginning of October. I wanted to cover a lot of musical parts including the course of their album preparation. Because it’s “Manager,” once the album came out I would be able to show the real manager activities. But while the album release was postponed, I changed the details. I discussed that point a lot with the members. All of them are obedient and kind but their subjectivity is clear. It was beyond my imagination.
JSH: But why does their album keep getting delayed?
PD Ko: I don’t know very well but there must be internal and external reasons. I know it will come out early next year. They have plans to advance into Japan as well. Due to the album release being delayed the items that I planned in the beginning collapsed, so I was flustered.
JSH: Mainly which parts of the members are appealing?
PD Ko: I want to move one step forward from the many variety shows that have already been done and show the musicality they themselves have. I was worried that it would only flow to the entertaining side.
JSH: After discussing with each other you built it one by one.
They quickly got the mindset of a production team.
PD Ko: I especially discuss with Seungho and G.O a lot. While we started with a different concept, after discussion we went into modification. It’s not an idle talk but we all work hard. There were cases where the members could just go with the script when they were given the plot proposal, but they said let’s go with the truth instead. Before we knew it they did not remain in being the performers but became in the position of the makers. They have already fully shown their appaerances of exchanging laughter or chatting with each other somewhere else as well, so now it’s in the shape of wanting to show their new appearance. Honestly at the beginning I have a bit of expectation for Joonie who gained recognition through variety shows on terrestrial networks. But since Joonie is often absent, I realized that I gave many roles to Mir and G.O. Scenes that are outside of my expectations are coming out.
JSH: Even just from what I see today G.O-gun is doing various roles. He operates the slate and organizes his own lines.
G.O: The thought of wanting to do it like that simply comes out. First of all, it’s possible because I’m comfortable with Kyung Lim noona. I can’t go this far at other places. If the variety shows all this time have the impression of being led by the production team I now want to be greedy. You know it’s our program. Although it can be seen as ill-mannered, I have a lot of discussion with the production team and also make suggestions. If it looks like there are parts different from the discussion and something go wrong I say it. It’s because I want to show the appearance that we are developing something including our musical parts rather than just our appearance of comfortably having fun. Actually if you watch the recording for a while, slang and secret language pop out and we even fool around. Because I believe they will understand and edit it out for me, I can do it with ease. I don’t want to hold my back without doing my best and then regret it after I go home.
PD Ko: No matter we say how interesting it is at the shooting site, in our own position as well as the viewers and fans’ if we make a judgement that it’s a minus for each other we edit it out. Even if we may create issues we must not break our trust. I must have come to have feelings of a hyung. But there were cases where people took out only one scene or one phrase through press releases only and took issue with it without watching the entire episode. It’s sad at such times.
JSH: They say that when not long ago the production team of KBS2 “Invincible Youth Season 2″ might be preparing a male idol special Mir was actively recommended. Mir-gun, you’re greedy for variety, right?
Mir: It’s much welcome! I’d really like to take the challenge of going around countryside or outdoor shooting like “1 Night 2 Days.” Since no matter what “Idol Manager” is a program that has our name on it, our sense of responsibility is different. To be honest I also slightly take care of my image on other programs. But because here it has our name on it, I feel much more that “I’ll have to completely put myself aside.” If we think about the fans who tune in the channel to watch us we have to be like that.
JSH: You’ve done a lot of reality programs, right? But lately I’ve got a feeling that you’ve grown even more. The improvement, do all of you know?
Seungho: It’s not so much that we improved all of a sudden, rather I bet we are getting better step by step. The process accumulates one after another. As we are doing it together with people whom we are originally comfortable with, we can show our real appearances and it’s good. Isn’t sincerity the priorty of variety shows? I think people look at it nicely because it’s a variety show where we can have a good time.

121123 [FANCAM] "CURTAIN CALL" SEUNGHO@ (Gwanghwamun Sonata’ Musical)


Credit YT 

121127 [NEWS] [Recap: The Romantic & Idol] A Heart for One Person


We ended episode two with two lucky pairs with the same music tastes going on a romantic date under the stars.

While not all the idols were matched up, and some were embarrassingly left behind, one thing was clear – all four male idols were pursuing the same girl.

Will this obsession continue? Or will the boys start looking at other girls?




We start off episode three with the song shuffle event, where all four girls have gone on their dates or were eliminated from the game, but poor JB has no clue that any of this has happened, so he waits as his song, Asoto Union’s Think About Chu, flows into the cold empty air with no owner to claim it.

Okay, scratch that. Someone does come to claim JB, but it’s the last person JB was hoping for. Hyung Sik, the other abandoned member of the group, comes to embrace JB into his arms.

The unclaimed four – Hyung Sik, JB, Jei, and Seung Ah instead go on a happy group date, which is probably more fun and less awkward anyway.




Meanwhile, Jun.K and Nam Ji Hyun go on a moonlit date as Jun.K naturally slips his hands into Ji Hyun’s. Although he’s holding hands with Nam Ji Hyun, Jun.K feels sorry for ditching Seung Ah, and Nam Ji Hyun says she’ll be fine and he shouldn’t be worrying about all the girls at camp.

In a private interview, Jun.K comments that Ji Hyun is overflowing with adorableness and thanks the staff for letting him spend a good time with her. However, on the other side, Nam Ji Hyun complains that even on their walk together, he was constantly thinking about Jei.

After the dates are over, all the idols gather and they joke about the people who got left behind. Jei slips her way next to Jun.K, and in a very swift movement, Jun.K puts his arm around her.

She bickers to his camera that she feels like she’s being tricked by Jun.K since he said he would play a K-Pop song during the song shuffle (he ended up playing a pop song).

“What are your true feelings?” asks Jei, as she shoots him a glare.




During her interview, Jei admits that it’s getting harder and harder for her to be cool about Jun.K being with other girls.

“At the beginning, I had some certainty (that he would pick her), but now I have no idea. Maybe 50%? It’s dropped quite a bit.”

After some hesitation, Jei says that Nam Ji Hyun has a bigger chance of being chosen by Jun.K.

Meanwhile, Jun.K is asked if there’s a girl that he has good feelings for and he replies without hesitation, “Yes. I just decided. I can just choose right now.”

Cut to Jun.K and Nam Ji Hyun having a fun photo time together. Hyung Sik immediately hears Nam Ji Hyun’s laughter and his attention snaps to her.




Everyone returns to the guest house and are instructed to send a text message on who they feel most attracted to at this point. This will be the first time each idol reveals who he or she has good feelings for to the audience.

One by one the text messages are revealed.

Going with their first impressions and first dates, Hye Jeong chooses Mir, while Seung Ah picks JB, letting comfort win over everything.

After being confused about how she feels about Jun.K, Jei sends in her text and her choice ends up being Jun.K. “The first meeting is always the most important – it’s really true. I don’t think I can ignore it…the first meeting,” says Jei.




Now just one girl left, the one that all the boys are chasing after.

Through her private interview, Nam Ji Hyun talks specifically about the two guys she had one-on-one dates with. So who is it – Hyung Sik or Jun.K?

“Hyung Sik was really comfortable. Maybe it was because I saw him as a little brother instead of a guy, I started talking more.”

Uh oh...is Hyung Sik friendzoned??

On the flipside, Nam Ji Hyun notes that Jun.K is a really nice guy, teaching her how to drive and all but she gets the feeling that he’s just really nice to all the girls.

Nam Ji Hyun’s text is finally revealed, but with the show wanting us to suffer, the name of her man is blurred and we’re forced to moved on.




It’s now the boys’ turns. JB is up next, but before he reveals his text, he states that he’s certain that all the boys are looking at the same women.

And of course, he ends up choosing Nam Ji Hyun.

Both Mir and Hyung Sik follow after JB’s footsteps and also pick Nam Ji Hyun.

“Since the beginning until now, my heart was fluttering and I was nervous,” says Hyung Sik. “It’s been a really long time since I’ve felt like this.”

JB then predicts that Jun.K will also choose Nam Ji Hyun, although Jun.K is always pretending that he’s not interested in her. 




Is JB correct?

We cut back to when Jun.K confidently says that he’s already chosen the girl that he has good feelings for.

“Jei, whom I’ve talked to the most through the first date.”

He explains that Nam Ji Hyun is cute and all that, but he didn’t have a lot of opportunities to talk to her, while with Jei, he’s been talking to her throughout the entire day.




The show finally decides to end our agony and proceed to revealing who Nam Ji Hyun has chosen. Is it Jun.K or Hyung Sik?

Her text appears on the screen again and the blurred out name is revealed.
Hyung Sik.

“I think Hyung Sik has broken down a lot of my thoughts on [dating] younger men,” says Nam Ji Hyun. She also adds that Jun.K seems to take care of Jei more.

Choosing each other, Hyung Sik and Nam Ji Hyun, Jun.K and Jei succeed in becoming a first date couple.

But this is just the beginning. 




The next morning, the girls are shown four different necklaces, which were chosen by each male idol. Whichever necklace the girls choose, the person who brought that necklace will be her date for the day.

Outside, the boys wait both nervously and eagerly, wondering and hoping that the girl they want to go on a date with will choose their item.

JB says he bought the necklace while walking around a few places. With a bit of uncertainty, he says he says he wants to get to know Hye Jeong for the day.

Unlike JB, who put a lot of thought into choosing his necklace, Mir said he pulled his out of his jewelry box and hopes that Jei will pick his.

Jun.K wants Jei or Nam Ji Hyun as his date today, while Hyung Sik says it’s time for him to start talking to the other ladies of the guest house.




Inside the house, the girls agree that if two or more girls choose the same necklace, they’ll have a simple rock. paper, scissors battle to sort things out. Then the girls count to three and pinpoint to the necklace of their choice.

The first lady out of the house is Seung Ah, who pulls out the necklace out of the box.

Jun.K smirks at it′s a necklace with a snake pendant hanging from it.

None of the boys step up to claim it, as they comment that it’s quite unique.

“It must be nobody’s,” says Mir, but within seconds, he confidently walks towards Seung Ah as Seung Ah immediately scolds him for thinking that girls will pick out this kind of necklace.

“I got it because none of the other girls wanted it.”

The reptile-loving Mir lets out a sigh as he puts the necklace around Seung Ah’s neck and they’re off to their date.

Meanwhile, JB, who was paired up with Seung Ah the previous day, can’t help but to feel a little saddened to see his past date go.




Next up is Jei, who brightens up with Jun.K complimenting on her cuteness.
She’s ready to find her man as she marches right up to the men, but they have her back up a bit, feeling burdened.

With a smile, Jei opens her jewelry box to reveal a necklace with a musical note.

Jun.K drops his head and Hyung Sik compliments on the design, but it’s JB who steps up and claims it. As he shyly puts the necklace around Jei’s neck, Jun.K turns away in jealousy.

Jun.K even notes that they’re already holding hands as Jei and JB walk away.

Hyung Sik says that Jun.K should have just stepped in and taken her away, saying Jei was his woman. Jun.K laughs off the embarrassment as the last two women come out of the house.




After insisting that they’re not disappointed that the man of their choice isn’t there, the girls decide to reveal the necklace at the same time.

They both open their boxes. Nam Ji Hyun has a dolphin necklace while Hye Jeong picked out the star pendant.

The girls are asked to turn away as the two men step up.

“It’s mine.”

Hye Jeong turns around and sees Jun.K standing behind her, which means Hyung Sik and Nam Ji Hyun are coupled up once again (It’s FATE).




“When I saw that she picked out my necklace, I thought that I was her fate,” says Hyung Sik with a big smile. “Chul Yong (Mir), you’re not her fate, but I am through things like this.”

Likewise, Nam Ji Hyun had no idea something like this could happened. “Is this fate? Is this the fate that Chul Young was talking about?”

After putting the necklace on Hye Jeong, Jun.K reveals that he kept telling the ladies to look at the beautiful stars as a hint on his necklace.

Slightly embarrassed of the situation, Jun.K takes a hold of Hyung Sik’s hand. Then realizing his bumbling mistake, he reaches out for Hye Jeong and she takes his hand.

The four couples end up at the beach, and while Mir’s in the bathroom, all the other couples talk about how Seung Ah is always calming Mir down, but something about the couple matches. Seung Ah agrees and announces that they plan on bickering and pouncing at each other all day.




The idols are told that only one couple will be going to a café where fortunes are read, and excited, Jei reaches and touches JB’s arm.

For one slight second, Jun.K’s eyes flare up and he reacts, but then he remembers that Jei’s not his partner and calms himself down. He then grabs Hye Jeong’s arm and sheepishly smiles.

Jun.K tells the Jei-JB couple to have fun, and Jei watches him go, but JB pulls her back to his side. 




In the car, Jei and JB, who are five years apart, loosen up, start talking about their first impressions of each other. Jei comments that JB initially seemed really sharp and cold, but the way he spoke was very soft.

As they continued their chit chat, JB notices a looose strand of hair in her face and he gently brushes it out of her face.

But Jei then goes and ruins the romantic moment by asking about Seung Ah - but JB doesn′t take the bait, and talks about Seung Ah in a slightly doubtful tone. 




Speaking of which, Seung Ah and Mir end up on a café, but while Seung Ah is filming a video, we notice Mir’s not by her side because Mir’s already stepped inside, leaving Seung Ah outside by herself.

She scolds him to come out and he complains that he’s hungry. But more than a romantic couple, the two appear as a mother taking care of her immature child.

Privately, Mir later reveals that it’s just how he is and he needs a girl who can handle that.

The scene cuts into a later time when Mir sits face to face with the girl he’s most interested in, but instead the immature and goofy Mir, who swore he wouldn’t change, a sincere Mir seriously talks to one of the female idols - the one that completely changed his way of thinking during the trip.




Meanwhile, Hyung Sik and Nam Ji Hyun hop into a car as Hyung Sik comments that things are now just flowing naturally and Nam Ji Hyun replies that she had a feeling the dolphin necklace belonged to him.

Just then, Nam Ji Hyun notices that her lipstick has smeared away. She tells Hyung Sik to tell her if something is amiss like this, proving that he’s now a person that she trusts to tell her things like that. .

“I’ll be your mirror,” replies Hyung Sik.

As the drive continues, Hyung Sik comments that since the other couples are with paired up differently that before, they probably have a wider range of choices now.

Nam Ji Hyun asks if he didn’t want to be paired up with her. Hyung Sik immediately denies it and tries to explain what he meant, but Nam Ji Hyun insists that she’s cool with it.

But it’s obvious she’s not, because she keeps bringing up the topic and apologizing for picking his dolphin necklace and not allowing Hyung Sik to meet other girls. Hyung Sik is completely confused and laughs that he’s suddenly become the bad guy.

They talk things out and everything seems settled….and then Nam Ji Hyun jokingly (?) brings the topic back, making Hyung Sik start sweat bullets again.




Meanwhile, Jun.K and Hye Jeong try to drop formal language, but it proves harder for Hye Jeong. Even so, Hye Jeong straightforwardly says today’s date feels a bit different than before.

“The first date was hard, but now that everything’s out in the open, it’s nice.”

“You like it because everything’s open?” repeats Jun.K.
“I like it because I’m here with you, oppa.”

They bashfully laugh, but soon the two are closely walking down the beach, writing each other names on the sand and sharing drinks together.

In their own times, Jun.K reveals that he had a fun date with Hye Jeong and that he wants to get to know a little bit more about her.

Hye Jeong shares that her date with Jun.K felt as if it was a real date with a real boyfriend. “He’s very kind and knows how to read the atmosphere.”




Back on the beach, Jei and JB end up at the same place as Hye Jeong and Jun.K.

Jun.K notes JB’s undying smile and JB replies that he’s extremely happy.

After short greetings, the two couples quickly split, avoiding each other and going in different directions.

Although he was on a happy date with Hye Jeong, Jun.K shares in his personal interview that Jei just looked so happy. “They looked like they’ve been dating for 100 days. She was linking arms with JB and touching each other so naturally. I think that Jei will probably end up liking JB.”

Is someone green with envy?




Sitting down at the café, Hyung Sik notices that he put the necklace on upside down on Nam Ji Hyun. He gets up to fix it for her, but she rejects his offer.

But a few moments later after the embarrassment has died down, she realizes that Hyung Sik can’t stop looking at it and asks, “Will you fix it for me?” and he replies yes.

Standing behind her, Hyung Sik fixes her necklace, as a shy smile arrives on Nam Ji Hyun’s face.

After fixing her necklace, he sits down and checks it. Nam Ji Hyun steals glimpses of Hyung Sik for a long period, as he receives a video message on his phone: the second mission.




Parodying the drama Coffee Prince, the boys must tie the girls’ hair.

While Hyung Sik’s worrying about tying her hair, something crosses Nam Ji Hyun’s mind and she starts to blush.

They head out of the café to fulfill the mission when Nam Ji Hyun notices that Hyung Sik’s slowly dropping his formal speech towards her. He denies it, but soon she says, “It’s not that bad.”

They head to the beach and admire the nice weather with the sun shining down on them.

Hyung Sik holds her hand, leading her safely away from the rocks, but Nam Ji Hyun points out that he just wants to hold her hand. They sit by the beach and listen to music together.




At the same time, Jun.K and Hye Jeong receive the hair tying mission and Hye Jeong hands Jun.K a hair tie, asking him to tie it pretty for her.

Jun.K skips around, trying to get his jittery feelings away before returning back to her and asking how you’re supposed to tie hair. He shares later on that he was really nervous about it.

Feeling the pressure, Jun.K takes off his jacket before pondering and getting proper instructions on how to tie Hye Jeong’s hair. After a couple of tries, Jun.K finally succeeds in tying her hair.

Hye Jeong later reveals that she really enjoyed the date, surrounded by the beauty of the place. “I really did a date-like date with Jun.K.”




JB and Jei get the mission as well, but the two awkwardly avoid it until their snacks are all eaten up. Then finally, JB gets up to do the mission.

Just like Jun.K, JB struggles to tie Jei’s hair, somehow failing twice. Jei laughs at his clumsiness, but then she kindly teaches him how to do it. Third time’s the charm and JB finally succeeds.

“I never had a reason for a guy to tie my hair. It was really weird, a bit awkward as well,” says Jei.




While everyone’s well on their mission, Hyung Sik and Nam Ji Hyun are still having fun, listening to music and partying out to Justin Bieber’s Baby. With the sun pouring down on them, dance time is over and it’s time for them to complete the mission.

Setting the camera on the ground, Hyung Sik prepares himself to tie Nam Ji Hyun’s hair.

Using both hands, Hyung Sik carefully gathers all of Nam Ji Hyun’s hair, as she shyly hides her face behind her hands. As he finishes tying, Nam Ji Hyun walks away, laughing, not knowing what to do with her emotions.

During his interview, Hyung Sik says there’s a problem.

“I wanted to date other people because I thought my heart would harden where it was,” said Hyung Sik. “After spending today with her again, I think my heart is hardening….and the weather is so nice and the scenery is so beautiful…It’s a real big problem.”

Nam Ji Hyun is also feeling the same, saying that things are getting more sincere.




While everyone’s having a romantic date with the perfect weather and the beautiful scenery, Mir and Seung Ah are still bickering at each other. Mir brings up that the area smells like poop and Seung Ah tells him to shut up and drags him along.

They find the best boulder for Seung Ah to have her hair tied and Mir comments that she’s the type of girl who doesn’t look pretty with her hair tied. She shoots him a death glare, and he finally gets to work.

Gathering all her hair, Mir compares her hair to a broom (another shut up from Seung Ah), but unlike the other boys, he gets the job done swiftly, even adding his own twist of using three hair ties in one pony tail.
Perhaps Mir has had practice tying hair with his older sister.

As they walk down the road, Seung Ah says she’s really not the loud type but when she meets Mir, her entire personality changes.

Mir, during an interview, admits that Seung Ah is definitely not his type.
And what are the chances of Mir choosing her?

“0.7 percent. Unless a cockroach comes into my brain while I’m sleeping and disturbs a nerve, it’s very unlikely.”

Similarly, Seung Ah sees Mir as a nice little brother. She’s certain their probability of getting together is 0%. This is a bit sad for us, because they are such an amusing couple together.




One by one, the couples start heading towards the next destination.

On their way, Jei and JB exchange a playful conversation about how Jei untied the ponytail he made for her and also their huge difference in height. JB adorably calls her a little child.

On the bus, Mir and Seung Ah continue their fighting, this time Mir making fun of her nasty foot smell.

Meanwhile, Jei announces that JB’s mad at her and Hye Jeong adds it’s because JB didn’t get a kiss from Jei. All attention get poured onto JB, as he freaks out and denies the claim. Even Jei joins in the teasing and plays along, making JB embarrassed.

As the bus starts moving, Nam Ji Hyun comments that her insides are shaking from drinking too much. The group laughs, as Hyung Sik pets Nam Ji Hyun on the head.

It takes her a few seconds to realize what just happened and she asks Hyung Sik about why he did that.

“Because you were cute.”




On their way to the island, the idols are given another task.

Following after the movie Love Actually, the idols are instructed to secretly film the idol that they like. Their feelings will be revealed later on during the halftime selection.

Each idol has a camera attached to their hands, as they start filming their favorite idol so far.


They arrive at the island and decide to go horseback riding.

Seeing JB and Jei together, Jun.K mutters that the two look good together and that Jei keeps on smiling.

Jei says Jun.K is weird, and hearing that, Jun.K comes running and they bicker at each other and walk away, leaving JB in the back alone. 




After riding horses with Jun.K, Hye Jeong leaves for a drama schedule.
Now alone, Jun.K takes comfort in Jei, who links arms with him. JB laughs and turns his head away.

Jun.K teases Jei, saying she won’t let go of his arm. After hitting Jun.K, Jei returns back to JB.

With the empty spot of Hye Jeong, Jun.K and Jei naturally end up walking side by side, leaving JB to sadly hang out by himself. Pretending not to pay attention, JB secretly watches Jun.K and Jei taking selca pictures together.

It’s so sad that we want to jump into the screen and give JB a hug.

In an interview, JB admits that he looked pretty pathetic. “I just couldn’t go towards them, so I just turned around and threw rocks (into the water).”

He reveals that while the male idols were talking to each other, he kept getting the feeling that Jun.K kept trying to come back to Jei. Deep sigh.




Washing all of their worries away, the men jump into the ocean, as the girls secretly film their crushes so far.

Later at night, all the cameras have been collected and the idols gather around the screen to watch each person’s secret camera.

The idols get all nervous about who goes up first and asks about the order.
The first one up is Seung Ah, who drops her head in aggravation that she’s the first to reveal her feelings in front of everyone.

Seung Ah reveals that her selection was made pretty easily, and her video starts to play.

In the screen, JB, Jun.K, and Hyung Sik are all shown. Everyone eagerly waits as the camera zooms in..... on JB.




A bit flustered, JB tries to smile off the situation as Seung Ah silently watches his reaction. Then JB sends a ‘I’m sorry’ to Seung Ah, making everyone wonder what’s up.

Away from the group, JB regrettably says he’s so wishy-washy.

“I didn’t know my heart would be like this.” He reveals that he made his decision on his lady just that day. Does that mean Nam Ji Hyun and Seung Ah are out of the question? Did Jei steal his heart away, despite flirting with Jun.K right in front of him? Or maybe a complete twist where he chooses Hye Jeong?

Right before JB’s video is played out on the screen, all the idols, including the boys, comment that they were all curious about JB’s feelings, since he’s kept them so well-hidden from everyone.




JB’s cam scans everyone then zooms into Jei, but then the camera moves onward.

Hyung Sik appears on the screen and everyone laughs momentarily, thinking JB’s choice is Hyung Sik, until suddenly, everyone gasps out in surprise.

Jei sneaks into the camera and smiles at him and the camera stays on her.

JB bashfully smiles, avoiding Jei’s eyes.




“As of yesterday, things were really awkward with her. We didn’t talk and I didn’t know much about her, but after our date today, we talked a lot and I was swept by her charms,” said JB in his interview. “Then I thought I made a hasty decision (for the text message).” He tells the writers that he’s going to pretend that he didn’t write Nam Ji Hyun in his text.

When asked if he thinks Jei will choose him, JB lets out a deep breath.

“If it’s not me, I think it will be Jun.K.” JB thinks he has a 50 percent change.

With JB choosing Jei, it’s now Jei’s turn to show her video. The other idols comment that now the love story is getting all mixed up with Jun.K also in the picture. Mir’s certain that Jei has chosen JB, but Jei just continues to smile.

The video starts to play. It’s when all the boys jumped into the ocean and were splashing around.

The focus of the video is on JB and Jun.K.

Jun.K is zoomed in on for a second, when the screen moves onto JB, who’s smiling brightly.

The idols all are surprised, as Jei continues to smile.

“It’s enjoyable being with both of them, but I chose the side that i had a little more fun with.”




All the idols cheer, as both JB and Jun.K appear as if they don’t know what to do with themselves.

Jei is asked by the staff if that person who appeared on the screen is the right person, and Jei shyly answers yes.

But we don’t get to find out who it is until next week.




Thoughts

Oh, so many heart fluttery moments in today’s episode.

We just have to say that it’s fate between Hyung Sik and Nam Ji Hyun. They should just date, because they are so vomit-worthy adorable together.

Although, Hyung Sik is really quiet in a group setting, when he’s together with Nam Ji Hyun, he mans up and takes control of the situation, despite the fact that he’s the younger one in the relationship.

Likewise, although Nam Ji Hyun says that Hyung Sik is like a little brother to her, whenever he comes near, she becomes a shy little girl, who doesn’t know what to do with her emotions.

On Jei’s choice, we predict that she’s going to choose Jun.K, because even while her partner was JB, she ended up spending more time with Jun.K. So far, she’s been steadfast in her choices with Jun.K, and while JB is so endearing and adorable, he sort of just watched from the sidelines when Jei was with Jun.K on the beach.




But we really can’t decide who we want Jei to end up with because she has really good chemistry with both. It’s just that she’s had more screen time with Jun.K, which is what led us to our prediction. 

Compared to the other two episodes, Mir was quite silent for this one. 
Maybe it was because Nam Ji Hyun was nowhere near his radar, but we’re a bit lost to where his heart is right now. Is it still with Nam Ji Hyun, or did it move onto another person?

We personally hope that Seung Ah ends up being the girl who matures Mir, mainly because they fight so much and opposites totally attract with each other. Plus, they’re the most lively and amusing couple ever. 

We’re just wait for that cockroach to crawl up his brain, if it ever happens.
