The opening ceremony of the 2018 Idol Star Athletics...
Championships - New Year Special for track and field, bowling, archery,
rhythmic gymnastics, and aerobics will start in a moment.
(Enthusiastic)
(Cheering)
The special performers of the opening ceremony will enter.
(A dog mask?)
(They're on a dog palanquin because it's the year of the golden dog.)
Hello.
(Hello, I'm Park Myeong Soo.)
(Surprised)
Nice to meet you.
(His entrance is a little embarrassing.)
I'm so excited.
(The atmosphere is already heated.)
Hello, idol singers.
Happy New Year.
Nice to meet you.

Hello, everyone.

- Make some noise. - Go, Bo Mi.
The Idol Star Athletics Championships has come back again.
I've been doing this the longest, and I received the grand award.
I'm Jun Hyun Moo. Nice to meet you.
How could he say that about himself?
He's being obnoxious starting from the first day of the new year.
I'm Lee Teuk, and I always want to be...
the eldest brother to idol singers. Hello.
(They are happy to see him.)
I'm the endorphin that will increase the energy of the athletes,

We will start the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
(We will start the Idol Star Athletics Championships.)
(It seems that they won't end this before someone ends it for them.)
(Let's stop.)
(They end the performance with a cool attitude.)
(2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special)
The athletes' oath.
- I pledge that... - I pledge that...
All of the athletes that will participate in track and field,
bowling, archery, rhythmic gymnastics, and aerobics...
for the 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special...
will obey the following rules.
We will respect the decision of the referees and our opponents.
We will compete fairly.
We will do our best in every event,
thinking that we will make the best scene in our life.
We will never forget that our fans and the viewers are always watching.
We will sincerely participate in every event.
Regardless our career, experience, and beauty,
we will do our best as equal athletes.
We are the representative of the athletes. I am Irene.
- I am S.coups. - I am Ji Hyo.
I am Shownu.
(They are joined with the leaders of each team.)
- Return to ready. - That was...
- the leaders of each team. - The leaders of each team.
Yes, they took an oath together.
The idol stars will compete fairly with the fans and the viewers...
during the 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special.
We will start the games now.
(The games will start right now.)
It's the 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special.
Track and field, bowling, archery, rhythmic gymnastics,
and aerobics will be held. This is the 60m race for track and field.
On the holidays, I see this person more frequently than my parents.
He's the current track and field commentator for MBC.
It's Yoon Yeo Chun. Nice to meet you.
- Welcome. - Yes.
Mr. Yoon is...
very famous among idol singers.
- He is famous. - Yes.
- Am I that famous? - Yes, you're very famous.
Like Pele's curse,
there is something called Yoon Yeo Chun's curse.
If he mentions someone,
that person will fail quickly.
- That would happen. - Yes.
There's another victim here.
- That's me. - She was his biggest victim.
Apink received gold...
- about 3 times for the 400m relay. - That's right.
- We're that good. - Yes.
But the moment Mr. Yoon cheered for us,
- we ran past the lane. - Oh, my.
We were eliminated.
(He was confident of Apink's victory in 2015.)
(But)
(Apink ran past the lane like they were hypnotized.)
They're not allowed to do that.
Apink is disqualified because they made a mistake.
- He makes unlucky guesses. - That's right.
A lot of new athletes will run today.
- That's right. - We only have data of them.
They never competed against anyone.
No one knows whether there will be a change of generations.
I'm curious. Who are the past winners?
Rui from H.U.B who ran in the women's 60m race...
and Woo Sung from Snuper who ran in the men's 60m race...
gained attention for their records.
- Yes, both will be joining again. - Right.
It will be interesting to see if they will continue to get ahead.
Right. Women's 60m will start now.
Shortly, Women's 60m Final will begin.
Athletes, please enter the arena.
(Jeong Ye In, Yuseol, J-Sun,)
(Rui, Yu Ju, Min Seo)
(In the Women's 60m Preliminary Match...)
She has the highest chance of winning.
The first lane athlete is outrunning everyone.
(J-Sun emerged as a dark horse.)
(Yuseol beat Yu Ju by a narrow margin.)
She's getting caught up. Yu Ju.
(Rui outrun everyone by a big margin.)
- She's very fast. - She's fast. She's like Usain Bolt.
(Ye In, Yuseol, J-Sun, and Rui...)
(got the 1st place from their group...)
(and made it to the final.)
She came in.
Nobody is as good as Rui.
This is Women's 60m Final.
Gold, silver, and bronze medalists will be decided.
That's right.
It's an irony of fate. Rui and Yu Ju are...
- standing side by side. - They're in 4th and 5th lanes.
- It's going to be intense. - It will be intense.
Will Yu Ju be able to win?
When you have a competitor, your record improves.
Will she be the first female idol...
to break into the eight-second range?
It will be interesting to see.
Whoever wins, I hope someone will break a record.
Hello. I am Jooe of Momoland. I will be presenting...
Women's 60m Final.
Yu Ju, unfortunately you lost the gold medal last time.
Will you be able to win back the gold medal this time?
I am nervous, but I am really happy...
to be cheered by many people who love me while running.
I will do my best, regardless of the medal.
She's a fighter.
(Go, Yu Ju!)
(Screaming)
You were last year's winner.
Who are you mostly worried about?
It must be...
Yu Ju.
Whenever I watched Idol Star Athletics Championships,
I admired her.
Just being able to run alongside her is a great honor for me.
I am really happy.
Nevertheless, she will beat her.
I am Jooe, reporting from the arena.
MBC.
(Laughing)
That's hard to get it right.
We came up with that idea last night.
She managed to do it.
It's rewarding. She's satisfied.
Now, Women's 60m Final will begin.
Rui in the third lane...
and Yu Ju in the second lane are drawing the most attention.
J-Sun of S.I.S in the fourth lane is joining for the first time.
She had a good record, so we never know.
Yuseol in the fifth lane threatened Yu Ju.
We don't know what will happen.
(Cheering passionately)
(Go, my idol!)
- This is nerve-racking. - Attention.
Will it be Rui or Yu Ju?
The game began. Will it be Rui or Yu Ju?
- Rui is outrunning. - Rui is outrunning.
Yu Ju.
(Will it be Rui or Yu Ju?)
(As soon as the game starts, Rui sprints and outruns all.)
Yu Ju is behind her.
Rui is amazing. There was no surprise.
Nobody is as good as her.
Rusain Bolt.
(Rui of H.U.B wins the gold medal.)
She's great.
I am curious about her record.
Did she break into the eight-second range?
- Yuseol got the 3rd place. - The 3rd place.
- J-Sun won the second place. - J-Sun.
She beat Yu Ju.
The six athletes...
- started well. - They started well.
When they were 20 meters in,
Rui started to get ahead, and a V-shape was formed.
Right.
I am surprised that Yu Ju lost the momentum in the middle.
Compared to the two times when she won the gold medal,
she's not in a good shape today.
The medalists are decided.
We still don't know Rui's record.
We are excited to see her record.
The record is out.
Rui broke into the eight-second range.
(Rui set a new record.)
She became the first female idol to enter the eight-second range.
She made into the eight-second range by a very narrow margin.
- She broke the record. - She did.
She finally broke the nine-second range.
It was only by 0.01 second.
But she finished in 8.99 seconds.
She's the first one to break into the eight-second range.
- Let's give it up for her. - Congratulations.
(2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special)
Men's 60m Final...
will start now.
Like we mentioned earlier,
it will be interesting to see if we'll have a new track star...
or if the existing track stars will continue to do well.
That will be the focus of this event.
(In the Men's 60m Preliminary Match,)
(Joo Heon aimed for the gold medal.)
Joo Heon is fast.
(So Rim is the track rising star.)
(Woo Sung's goal was to win 3 times in a row.)
(Han Seung Woo of Victon was in a great condition.)
(In the Men's 60m Preliminary Match,)
(Han Seung Woo, Joo Heon,)
(So Rim,)
(and Woo Sung made it to the final.)
Woo Sung did as well as we expected.
Seung Woo won the bronze medal on his first event.
Seung Woo is in great condition right now.
If he doesn't make a mistake at the start,
he will have a nip and tuck match with Woo Sung.
- He will have a nip and tuck match. - Yes.
This is Men's 60m Final.
What we are most interested in is if Woo Sung in the fourth lane...
will win for the third time.
According to Mr. Yoon, it's a matter of who's in better condition.
It's possible that someone else wins this time.
- Seung Woo should be nervous. - Yes.
Mr. Yoon mentioned it. He should watch out.
On your mark.
Who will be the rising track star of 2018?
We will see.
Mr. Yoon said Seung Woo of Victon...
seems to be in good condition.
Woo Sung is always the front-runner.
(Woo Sung of Snuper is the front-runner.)
This is a nervous moment.
Get set.
(The third lane athlete falters.)
He got up.
Mr. Yoon mentioned Seung Woo earlier.
Seung Woo.
(No!)
Seung Woo.
- He nearly rolled forward. - That's right.
Seung Woo had a false start.
If another person has a false start,
- that person will be disqualified. - Right.
- They're already warned once. - On your mark.
As soon as Mr. Yoon mentioned, he nearly rolled forward.
- This is really scary. - This is chilling.
It's like a horror special.
Because it's the final game, they must be very nervous.
Don't get nervous. If someone has a false start, he will be out.
Right.
Get set.
- Oh, dear. - He did it again.
(Seung Woo has another false start.)
Oh, no.
What happens now?
Now...
Seung Woo of Victon had two false starts.
- The gun was misfired. - The gun was misfired.
The gun was misfired. Thank goodness.
(Fortunately, Seung Woo didn't have a false start.)
(It was the gun.)
- Oh, dear. - He did it again.
It was the gun. Seung Woo is fine. Thank goodness.
- The gun was the problem. - That would've made us sad.
Mr. Yoon's curse has affected the gun too.
Even the gun.
- I... - He's amazing.
I will explain something before they start.
You have to start after hearing the gunshot.
If the athlete moves within 0.1 seconds after the gun has fired,
he is considered to have false-started.
- You can't presume and start. - If you start simultaneously...
with the gunshot, that's false-starting too.
You have to start after hearing the gunshot.
(The extreme nervousness...)
(engulfs their bodies.)
(Even the ones watching are extremely nervous.)
(Who will be the one...)
(to win the gold medal?)
Get set.
It began.
This is the final match.
Y is fast.
- Seung Woo is leading. - Seung Woo.
- Seung Woo.
- It began. - It began.
This is the final match.
(It's nip and tuck.)
- Woo Sung. - Seung Woo.
He fell.
- Woo Sung. - Seung Woo.
He fell.
- Seung woo fell. - Seung woo fell.
He fell, but...
- We need to check the video. - He fell while...
passing the finish line.
For the first time in the short-distance track event,
we will be reviewing the video.
Like what Mr. Yoon said, we need to see...
whose torso entered the finish line first.
Let's check the slow video.
- Everyone started very well. - They were good.
- The start was good. - They are fast.
This is when Seung Woo started getting ahead of Woo Sung.
He's outrunning.
- He was doing well until this time. - This is when it happened.
He faltered there.
(He faltered right before the finish line.)
Even if he falls...
(Mr. Yoon sighs.)
Even if he falls...
(He sighs.)
Why did you let out a sigh?
Why did you sigh?
Woo Sung's torso passed the finish line first.
Seung Woo ran well, but just before...
reaching the finish line, he faltered.
Did Mr. Yoon's curse make this happen?
His curse did it.
It's the worst thing that can happen.
- How can you... - Why did he fall?
- He false-started once. The gun... - Why do you make me look bad?
misfired, and he also fell.
He was just about to finish.
He was cursed three times.
If one of his feet finished first,
Seung Woo would have won.
Let's watch it. Where exactly is the torso?
- It's your chest. - Your chest has to finish first.
Woo Sung's chest finished first.
Seung Woo fell,
- but he was the 2nd to finish. - He got the 2nd place.
If Seung Woo didn't fall, he could've won.
- Right. - Right.
The record is out.
With the record of 7.76 seconds,
Woo Sung of Snuper won the gold medal.
With 0.05 second margin, Seung Woo of Victon...
- became the silver medalist. - Yes.
The bronze medal went to Joo Heon of Monsta X.
He finished in 7.876 seconds.
Woo Sung of Snuper...
won gold for three consecutive games.
This is his third win in a row.
I'm Jooe, and I'm with the medalists now.
I'd like to hear their winning speech here first. Rui.
My mom came to see me from Japan today.
I'm glad that she could see me win the game.
I'm glad that I won three consecutive games.
I'll keep trying my best...
not to disappoint you. Thank you.
We'd like to see your victory ceremony.
I'll record it for you.
Let me show you.
It looks pretty.
Woo Sung, we'd like you to make a ceremony video...
- for your fans. - Okay.
Thank you for supporting me at 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
I'll try even harder for the games on Chuseok.
I could've done all this thanks to my fans.
Thank you, and I love you. I'll see you again.
(The first bowling game of Idol Star Athletics Championships)
Find the best idol bowler of Korea.
We're back again this year.
This is 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
And bowling is newly added this year.
I'm today's commentator, Seo In.
And we have three special guests...
who will deliver the excitement of today's match.
First, he's the forever leader of Infinite, Sung Kyu. Hello.
Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Sung Kyu.
Do you like bowling?
- Bowling? - Yes.
I like it very much. It's my favorite sports.
But I haven't played it before.
That's a surprise.
She wants to create another legend with bowling.
She's Hani of EXID.
(Hani of EXID)
Hello, this is my first time to be here as a commentator.
- I'm honored. I'll try my best. - All right. And...
we have a bowling genius here.
He's the member of the national team with 14 years of experience.
He's the master of bowling, Commentator Choi Bok Eum.
- Hello. - Hello, I'm Bowler Choi Bok Eum.
We will look forward to your in-depth commentary.
Okay.
- Bowling is very popular. - That's right.
The best bowlers are picked to play,
and they've been devoting themselves to practice night and day.
Some of them are well known to be good at bowling,
and others just started bowling for this match.
I heard they all are on their sweeping upturn.
I can't wait to watch the game.
(Shortly)
(Powerful bowling full of masculinity)
(A powerful strike to smash pins)
(Men's bowling will be liberating.)
- It's possible. - It could turn the game over.
That's right.
(It's like a bowling drama of a seesaw game.)
(Repeated dramatic twists)
(Women's bowling with the shocking result will begin shortly.)
2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
You must be curious about the list of matches for Men's bowling.
We'll reveal it now.
We have the spectacular line-up for Men's bowling.
This is amazing. All the idol stars are here.
And the fans' cheering for the players...
are getting more intense.
Let's talk to the cheering squad first then.
(Screaming)
(The cheering is more like a shriek.)
I heard the members of Wanna One are here.
- Wanna One. - Where are you, Wanna One?
Hello.
- Hello. - There they are.
Please say hello to our viewers.
In 1, 2, and 3.
All I want to do, Wanna One. Hello, we're Wanna One.
It's nice to meet you.
Would you send a message of support to the players?
In fact,
I already got hoarse from all this cheering.
I shouted myself hoarse cheering for them even at home.
Actually, I'm not worried about my team.
I heard they've played bowling...
since the moment they were born.
- Really? - Yes.
- Well... - So I'm not worried at all.
- I hope our team will win. - Okay. Good luck.
We just talked to the cheering squads to check their excitement.
2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special.
This is Men's Bowling Preliminary Match.
It begins now.
(2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special)
It's MONSTA X versus Seventeen.
The first match of Men's Bowling Preliminary Match, Group One.
The players are coming in.
They are the monsters who dominate the K-Pop scene,
Joo Heon and Min Hyuk of MONSTA X.
They look cool.
They are talented idol stars who are good at singing and dancing.
Seung Kwan and Min Gyu of Seventeen.
- They are very funny. - They're humorous.
What was that?
(MONSTA X versus Seventeen)
This is Idol Star Athletics Championships.
So we have our own rules and formats for the game.
Commentator Choi Bok Eum with a fair skin will explain the rules.
The game will be based on the Scotch Game...
where two players take turns to throw a bowling ball.
From Frame 1 to 5,
Player A bowls first, and Player B picks up a spare.
From Frame 6 to 10,
Player B bowls first.
- They change the order? - They play in the reverse order.
Idol Star Bowling Championships.
Let's begin the first match.
Min Gyu of Seventeen...
goes first.
Min Gyu will throw the ball.
They made an interesting promise...
- for their victory. - What's that?
If they win, they will disguise as bowling pins in front of MBC.
I really want to see that.
At this moment...
(Where did the ball go?)
He's left-handed.
(Seventeen versus MONSTA X)
I've never seen such a powerful gutter before.
(Gutter is when the ball goes into the gutter without touching pins.)
MONSTA X seems very excited.
They are celebrating it by patting each other on the back.
They have a chance to pick up a spare.
- That's right. - They could pick up 10 spares.
- Seung Kwan doesn't look happy. - It's okay.
He said his opponent is Min Gyu from his team.
He did? Is it an internal conflict?
All right. He threw the ball powerfully.
Good!
(8 pins)
He scored eight points.
That was nice.
Seventeen knocked down eight pins.
It's MONSTA X's turn now.
Here comes Min Hyuk.
You are handsome.
There goes Min Hyuk.
- That was gentle. - It looks good.
It's gentle.
What was that?
It's gentle.
(A pin knocked down another one.)
(Seventeen versus MONSTA X)
The last pin was hidden in there.
Is Joo Heon happy?
- He's happy. - He's not upset, isn't he?
(He looked too vigorous.)
Would Joo Heon be able to pick up a spare?
The pin is not in a difficult position to knock down.
That's right. He might be able to do it.
All right. It's all about accuracy now.
(He fails to pick up a spare.)
It was too strong.
But they're ahead of the game.
(Seventeen versus MONSTA X)
How will he throw the ball this time?
It's turning to the left. It came back in.
That was good.
- The men players... - I think they're getting warmed up.
- They're getting warmed up. - They're getting better.
They're getting the hang of it.
(His lips are parched.)
Would he pick up spares?
He threw the ball.
It's getting closer.
It's just like their first try.
- He looks confident. - It was a little too soon.
- It was too soon. - The release was too soon.
- It was very close. - It almost fell in the gutter.
- That was so close. - It's like a perilla leaf.
- How many leaves would that be?
It's like one and a half leaf close.
Or in this case, it's one hairy leaf.
All right. This is Frame Two.
He's Min Hyuk of MONSTA X.
(Min Hyuk of MONSTA X looks serious getting ready.)
He looks intrepid.
- He threw the ball boldly. - It looks good.
Good. It's in the center.
It's a strike!
(The first strike)
That's the first strike of this game.
Min Hyuk of MONSTA X bowled the first strike.
They do the ceremony like monsters.
It was amazing.
He looks nimble bowling the strike.
I agree. It sounded light.
(It looks like the ball would bound from the rail.)
The spin was good.
It went right between pin 1 and 3.
Seventeen would also need a strike.
- He might feel a little pressured. - Right.
(Would they be able to catch up?)
Min Gyu of Seventeen.
It's his third try.
It's good.
(9 pins)
(Seventeen versus MONSTA X)
(That was so close.)
(Forget about the previous plays.)
(Their teamwork is back.)
(On the other hand, MONSTA X struggles to pick up a spare.)
It's going close.
(They don't have luck on their side.)
(Seung Kwan of Seventeen never passes up the chance.)
It's good.
(He keeps knocking down 9 pins.)
(It's the curse of 1 pin.)
There's a pin left again.
(Seung Kwan of Seventeen is the prince of 9 pins.)
He failed to pick up a spare.
(Seventeen versus MONSTA X)
Seventeen has scored 104 points.
It's MONSTA X's turn.
(MONSTA X has just a few chances left.)
(They cannot relax yet.)
(Glaring)
(Joo Heon of MONSTA X is being more careful than ever.)
There he goes.
He throws the ball with all his might.
Strike!
(He finally bowls a strike.)
He bowls a strike at last. Joo Heon's play is amazing.
(Seventeen versus Monsta X)
Yes, he's incredible.
(Joo Heon, you really did a good job.)
He was great.
He suddenly bowled a strike.
The atmosphere has changed now.
They are so happy.
Take it easy, Seung Kwan!
It was MONSTA X's second strike.
Now we cannot predict the result.
That's true.
The ball is moving in the right direction this time.
It hits the bowling pins just right.
It moved in a clean strike course.
He succeeded in bowling a very clean strike.
Seung Kwan should feel rather burdensome.
Right.
(This is his last frame.)
It's about time he bowls a strike.
He has played the game in a pretty similar way all along.
Now, it's his last frame.
Seung Kwan has kept missing one pin so far.
Can he bowl a strike this time?
Strike! No!
- He missed one again. - He didn't hit one again.
I really feel sorry.
That's fine, though.
There's Min Gyu who's left-handed.
The bowling pin is located where it's advantageous for Min Gyu.
That location is more advantageous for a left-handed player for sure.
The ball moves in a direction which the hand rotates,
and that's where the bowling pin is located.
Therefore, now it's easier to bowl a strike.
- Is it going to hit now? - He did it!
(He perfectly took care of it.)
Seung Kwan missed one bowling pin,
and Min Gyu took care of it.
- It was amazing. - That's awesome.
They have a great teamwork. Don't you think so, Sung Kyu?
- That's very nice. - Isn't it?
They have a good combination. It looks like Min Gyu can predict...
what's going to happen. He's going a great job.
That's nice.
If team members can lead and pull one another like that,
it would be nice whatever they do.
(Seventeen's teamwork shines in the moment of crisis.)
- Now, Min Hyuk... - Let's go!
of MONSTA X is throwing the ball.
He swings with confidence.
Is it going all right?
Strike!
He swings with confidence.
Is it going all right?
(It's a double strike.)
Are they checking the video?
It was the first double strike, right?
Yes, it was the first double strike.
- It's the first double strike. - A double strike.
He's incredible.
Now he can get a lot of points.
- We really cannot predict anymore. - We cannot.
- He's getting at least 30 points. - Right.
- Now it's the 10th frame. - It's the 10th frame now.
They will have a bonus frame.
Ace players of each team will play.
Still, MONSTA X seems to be more advantageous.
Right. All the frames are over now.
It's 118 versus 114.
MONSTA X is leading with a few more points,
but both teams still have a bonus frame left.
So we cannot be sure about the result.
An ace player can bowl...
for the bonus frame.
Who's going to play?
For MONSTA X,
- Min Hyuk is playing. - Min Hyuk.
- Min Hyuk is going first. - Let's go!
(The last frame will decide the result.)
(What score will Min Hyuk of MONSTA X get for the bonus frame?)
- He bowls confidently. - That's nice.
It's good.
(He made it.)
- What's that? It's a turkey! - A turkey!
He got a turkey.
(A turkey means bowling three strikes in a row.)
I can't believe this.
A turkey is made in the first game.
He got a turkey.
Is that possible?
(He's shaking his head.)
Min Hyuk is amazing.
(Seventeen versus MONSTA X)
Let's see the replay.
That's unbelievable.
MONSTA X's score is now 138.
The ball hit pin 1 and pin 3.
- It was a perfect strike. - Right.
He has one more chance left.
There's one more chance.
Can he go beyond a turkey...
and get a four bagger?
(He's trying to get a 4 bagger, which is 4 strikes in a row.)
I think he might get a four bagger.
Right.
It's rare to see it.
- Right. - It's hard to see a four bagger.
You can see it mostly in professional games.
Can he make it?
(9 pins)
There's one pin left.
- There's one left. - The ball went all right.
In the last trial,
he got nine points.
MONSTA X finishes the game with a total score of 147.
They're amazing.
(He's composing his mind.)
How can he play so well?
Let's see how this game turns out.
I think Seung Kwan should play like he's practicing now.
Yes. His competitor played so well at the end.
(9 points prince challenges for a strike again.)
He bowls with confidence.
Is it a strike?
He didn't get one.
He could have bowled a strike once.
It was Seung Kwan.
He left one pin again at the end.
There's one pin left.
I feel very sorry.
The game is over now.
It's 147 versus 123. MONSTA X won the game.
Congratulations!
(MONSTA X goes on to the semifinals.)
(2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special)
(Men's Bowling Preliminary Match, Highlight versus KNK)
Men's Bowling Preliminary Match. It's Group Two's match.
This is the last match. The players are entering now.
- Let's see how well they play. - It's KNK.
You can look forward to a good game.
They look bigger as one's carrying the other on his back.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E01 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships New Year Special -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Highlight versus KNK)
This match will be interesting.
KNK is known as successful fans of Highlight.
Yong Jun Hyung of Highlight...
monitors new songs of KNK every time they make one.
The two teams are very friendly.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this game will turn out.
I've met Jun Hyung about a week ago.
He was so...
He's asking me not to say anything. I won't say anything.
Tell me the story later.
He said, "The victory is ours for sure."
He's full of confidence.
He showed such confidence.
- Commentator Choi. - Yes.
Yang Yo Seop of Highlight...
is known to be very competent in playing bowling among entertainers.
Right. He is.
(Yo Seop of Highlight enjoys bowling during his free time.)
(He made time to practice despite his busy schedule.)
It's true that Yo Seop is good at bowling as they say.
He's a skilled player.
However, we cannot be sure that Highlight is going to win.
It depends on how much Jun Hyung supports Yo Seop.
I think that can play a big part.
Right. If Yo Seop had said "The victory is ours",
I would have agreed with him.
However, Jun Hyung, who should support Yo Seop a lot,
told me with such confidence...
to watch the game carefully.
Jun Hyung wrote that his rival...
is himself.
- Did he? - He's full of confidence now.
When asked to write down his rival, Yo Seop also answered...
- that it's himself. - He did?
They should change their team name to "Overcoming Oneself".
It's incredible.
I wonder whether it's vanity or confidence.
I think Yo Seop is confident,
but as I see it, how Jun Hyung plays would matter.
- Is it confidence out of nowhere? - Please go back to your seat.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
- I'm sorry. - I think it will be a great match.
It's a match between seniors and juniors who are close to each other.
Can KNK overcome Highlight, the most promising contender?
Jeong In Seong also wrote that his rival is himself.
He did?
He's really a successful fan.
- He hit seven pins. - That's a good start.
- He began nicely. - Yes, that's fine.
- He got six pins. - He got six?
There's one more left. He got six pins.
It's Oh Hee Jun.
(Hee Jun of KNK bowls to pick up the spares.)
There he goes.
(He fails to pick up the spares.)
Even though he didn't pick up the spares,
they encourage each other.
Finally, Yo Seop is playing now.
At last, we can see his skills.
(Yo Seop throws the ball.)
Here goes Yo Seop.
It's good.
(It's a strike at the first throw.)
There he goes.
It's good.
- There he goes. - A strike.
He's getting the start on his opponents.
He plays well as they say.
It's daunting for the other team from the beginning.
He's does the ceremony.
Yo Seop got the start on his competitors.
But we should know...
that Jun Hyung's playing next.
It might be their strategy to change the turn.
- Right. - Yo Seop will hit a strike anyway.
All right.
Okay.
They keep looking at me.
I see.
(In Seong of KNK concentrates again.)
There he goes.
- Its' great. - Its' great.
Good shot!
(It's a strike.)
Good shot!
He couldn't lose.
- Well done. - He did it.
(KNK versus Highlight)
- They counterattacked. - They did.
Jun Hyung was very confident.
Nobody knows how talented he really is. Let's check out.
Let's see.
It's tilted slightly to the left.
(Oh, dear.)
He's tilting his head.
He tilted his head.
He's very humble.
(KNK versus Highlight)
(How will Yo Seop do?)
- Yo Seop. - Yo Seop.
Will he bowl a strike?
(He fails to clear all the pins.)
He failed to clear all the pins.
(He knocked down 5 pins.)
(KNK has a chance to catch up.)
It's Hee Jun.
- It's good. - Well done.
(One pin wobbles.)
(8 pins)
That was one tenacious pin.
He threw the ball well.
If In Seong picks up a spare,
he will put his team in a very advantageous position.
Let's see.
It's going there.
(They're surprised.)
(He picked up all the spares.)
Finally, someone did it.
It's the scene I wanted to see.
That's it. He finally did it.
- Go, In Seong! - Go, In Seong!
He managed to do something very difficult.
That's not easy to do.
The two pins were split apart.
He achieved it through a pin action.
What are we supposed to say in a situation like this?
- "Good shot!" - Good shot!
Good shot, In Seong.
(Good shot, In Seong.)
Let's see.
(Jun Hyung fights back.)
(His throw wasn't so good.)
Is it tilting to the left?
- He's discovering his talent. - He is.
How will he do?
It could've gone better.
(Is Highlight in trouble?)
- It's tilting to the left. - Come on.
He only added one point.
Will In Seong do a good job?
He bowled a strike once.
- It's looking nice. - It's looking nice.
(He manages to pick up a spare.)
(KNK versus Highlight)
Isn't he the new dark horse?
In Seong is good.
(In Seong of KNK emerges as the dark horse.)
(It's Highlight's frame again.)
- It's not bad. - It's good!
(9 pins)
That's it. That's the true Jun Hyung.
- He's starting to get it. - He's getting the hang of it.
(The dark horse gets the hang of it.)
(And he knocked down 9 pins.)
(Jun Hyung continues to score high.)
- It's nice. - It's nice.
(Yo Seop is sharp again!)
(However)
In Seong is doing quite well.
He picked up the spare again.
Will he do it again?
He threw a straight ball.
(He continues to pick up the spare.)
- He's in his element. - He is.
We still don't know who is going to win.
It's already the last frame.
It's Hee Jun's turn.
Hee Jun threw a powerful ball.
(6 pins)
(He's not happy.)
It was a safe one.
(The last bowler or KNK is...)
It's In Seong, who has a lot of friends.
- He's been doing very well today. - Yes.
He's doing very well today.
Will he pick up the spare?
(He manages to pick up the spare.)
- He's a genius. - In Seong is...
In Seong did it.
- Now, if... - Yes.
Highlight has a turkey,
and KNK has a gutter ball,
- they will have a tie. - They will have a tie.
It won't be easy, but Jun Hyung will...
- do his best. - Let's see.
Will he bowl a strike?
(The game is over.)
Yo Seop of Highlight.
He's got a chance.
(He picks up the spare and finishes the game.)
(He's sad.)
The game now has ended.
Highlight scored 107.
KNK scored 124.
And KNK won.
(Astro versus Snuper)
(Astro bowled a strike.)
(Snuper was in bad condition.)
Astro won.
(2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships)
Chan Yeol from Korea's best idol group EXO.
And Jay from Trax.
The audience is stirred...
now that Chan Yeol is out.
Coming up next are the hottest idols of the year.
Bae Jin Young and Lai Kwan Lin from Wanna One.
They are growing as a global idol group.
Welcome.
(EXO and Trax versus Wanna One)
(It's the meeting of the two most popular idol groups.)
- Go, guys! - Come on!
- They are greeting each other. - Yes.
Wanna One will play first.
(Wanna One plays the 1st frame.)
Wanna one's first frame begins.
The first player is Lai Kwan Lin.
His skin is so fair.
I envy him. I have never had such fair skin.
It's the first frame.
He threw the ball.
Seven pins.
That's a nice start.
- Bravo. - That was awesome.
That's a nice start.
(He's happy with the good start.)
Jin Young will play next.
(Will Jin Young succeed to pick up the spare?)
He's getting ready.
It's his chance to pick up the spare.
He wrote it himself that he was born...
- with talent for bowling. - Oh, really?
- All right. - Let's see how good he is.
I guess he is currently developing his talent.
Right.
I'm sure he's still not warmed up yet.
- He just came in. - Right.
You need time to warm up.
(It's finally Chan Yeol's turn.)
It's Chan Yeol's turn.
Chan Yeol from EXO is up next.
- I am excited for him. - I am excited for him too.
He's a strong front-runner.
Many people praise him, so I have high expectation for him.
He checks the angle first.
Chan Yeol throws the ball.
It's his first ball.
(9 pins)
(He was so close to bowling a strike.)
It's too bad it's not a strike.
- It's too bad. - Yes.
- He missed 1 pin. - Just 1 pin.
I find it harder to clear it when there's only one pin left.
Let's see how Jay will play.
All right.
He spun the ball.
He did it.
(He picks up the spare.)
- He picked up the spare. - That was so precise.
He picked up the spare perfectly.
(They are a front-runner duo.)
- They are amazing. - That was a neat play.
The ball suddenly...
- headed to the left. - That was neat.
- They are amazing.
It's the second frame.
- It's Lai Kwan Lin. - It's Lai Kwan Lin.
(Will they be able to catch up?)
He threw the ball.
(7 pins)
It's the first time we had that arrangement of pins.
The ball hit the center, and the pins...
(The score difference increases, and Wanna One gets flustered.)
Did the pins not move enough?
They either fell forwards or backwards.
The ball just shoved the pins to the back.
- It hit right in the center. - He should hit the rest.
It's going to be tricky to pick up the spare.
He has to hit the right side of the sixth pin.
- All right. - That's it.
Come on, Jin Young.
He only knocked down the pin in the middle.
(Wanna One versus EXO and Trax)
Wanna One won 15 points.
- It's Chan Yeol's turn again. - It's Chan Yeol.
Chan Yeol promised to treat everyone...
who participated in the bowling if he wins.
- Does that include us? - Are we...
- included? - Are we included?
What's the menu?
- He's going to treat us. - Chan Yeol is up next.
Go, Chan Yeol.
- That was good. - That's good.
- Great.
(It's the first strike.)
He bowled a strike.
(It's because everyone wants to be treated.)
He's very talented.
(Wanna One versus EXO and Trax)
The first frame...
They managed to pick up the spare in the first frame.
And they finished the second frame with the strike.
- He's good. - He's a front-runner for a reason.
He's got a vibe of his own.
He releases the ball very smoothly.
It's going to pin 1 and pin 3.
(The ball strikes accurately between pin 1 and pin 3.)
The ball keeps moving...
consistently to the back end.
Wanna One must feel pressured. I Hope they enjoy playing the game.
In this kind of situation, they should release the pressure.
I think that would be better.
- It's still early in the game. - It's the start of the match.
- As they practiced. - As they practiced.
They'd better not care much.
Lai Kwan Lin decided to "smile even if I don't do well."
All right.
There he goes! Okay.
- He's smiling. - Yes.
He's smiling.
He looks beautiful.
His facial expression is the winner.
(I won't forget to smile even if I don't play well.)
(He received the positive energy from Lai Kwan Lin.)
(Jin Young of Wanna One gets the hang of it.)
(Lai Kwan Lin of Wanna One begins to play well.)
(However)
It's good.
(EXO and Trax gets a head start with strikes in a row.)
- It's accurate. - It's perfect.
There he goes.
(He shows off his skill as a front-runner.)
He's stably good.
(Jay of Trax gets a double strike.)
It's a double strike.
Here's a double strike.
(They play perfectly.)
He got a double strike.
This is a preliminary match.
I think the semi-finals and the final match will be incredible.
(Even though the game is almost decided,)
(they do their best to the end.)
This is the last frame.
(It's Wanna One's last frame.)
I feel like he'll do well.
It's Jin Young's last throw. Strike!
He got the hang of it now. It's amazing!
It's incredible.
Jin Young, you made it!
- The last match is over. - He did well.
Men's Bowling Preliminary Match is decided.
I've heard that Chan Yeol is a great player.
I could see it with my own eyes.
Wanna One did their best to the end.
I think it was a great match.
I think they did a great job.
Thank you for your effort.
I'd like to give an applause to Wanna One managed to keep smiling.

It's the highlight of this championships, rhythmic gymnastics.
The pretty member of TWICE, Na Yeon...

The moment Na Yeon sat here, our broadcasting booth became brighter.
- You're right. - Yes.
When we think of TWICE, they have the best cheering song,

(The song makes everyone get energized.)
She was an international referee and is a commentator in MBC.
Commentator Cha Sang Eun is with us.
- Welcome! - Nice to see you!
Hello, I'm an exclusive coach and a commentator for rhythmic...
gymnastics for Idol Star Athletics Championships, Cha Sang Eun.
Many people are looking forward to this event.
Would it be better this season?
Can we expect more this time? Many people are curious.
In this season, they practiced even more...
than the last season.
The players' skills have greatly improved.
Some of them can enter the match for elementary school athletes.
Some players are that much competent.
- Elementary school games? - Yes.
It's for the professional athletes.
- Right. - You can look forward to this game.
Let's look at the things you should watch out for.
The things you should remember for rhythmic gymnastics.
(Return of the queen versus Birth of a new star)
Would it be the return of the queen...
- or the birth of a new star? - Right.
I looked at the list of participants.
There are many players who majored in ballet and dance.
Sally of Gugudan, Ji U of DreamCatcher,
Hae In of Laboum, Rachel of April,
Seung Yeon of CLC, Cheng Xiao of WJSN.
A total of six players participate in rhythmic gymnastics.
What's unique is, except for Cheng Xiao,
every player is participating for the first time.
In fact, when we think of rhythmic gymnastics in this championships,
we think of Cheng Xiao of WJSN first.
(Cheng Xiao of WJSN highlighted the first page of rhythmic gymnastics.)
What's that?
It's a mastery degree technique.
She's like a professional athlete.
She needs to catch it.
She's the one who wrote the history of rhythmic gymnastics here.
In the last season, in her second match,
Cheng Xiao missed the gold medal due to a small mistake.
(In rhythmic gymnastics match of the 2017 Championships,)
(Cheng Xiao unfortunately missed the hoop.)
Can she write another history in this championships?
Can she make another drama? We'll be watching her.
It's 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - New Year Special.
Many people have been looking forward to rhythmic gymnastics.
Let's meet the first player.
It's Sally from Gugudan.
The first player is entering now.
Sally from Gugudan is appearing.
She's holding a hoop.
Her red and white costume is really beautiful.
Commentator Cha, what's Sally's concept?
She prepared a graceful costume...
that reminds us of a swan.
To a mystic music,
Sally will highlight her mystic image by performing her emotions.
That's the thing you should watch for.
I see.
She's so beautiful.
It starts now.
I truly hope she doesn't make a mistake.
(Sally moves like a swan flying.)
What's this movement?
She did AD well now, the apparatus difficulty technique.
(After catching the apparatus, a high-level technique continues.)
She now turns twice for a risk degree technique.
She caught the apparatus, but she made a little mistake.
- It's not a fatal mistake, right? - No, it isn't.
(She expresses a swan with an apparatus difficulty technique.)
The swan is so beautiful...
- that it even looks sad. - Oh, that's great.
- What's that? - It's an AD technique,
- an apparatus difficulty technique. - I see.
She should check it.
(Sally misses the hoop.)
- She should have caught it. - Right.
(Worried)
Sally has challenged herself to high-level techniques.
She should not be agitated by those things.
(Sally continues with the next move and stays calm.)
This looks like a difficult one.
- She did it well. - She did a good job!
(She succeeds in an apparatus difficulty technique.)
This looks like a difficult one.
- She did it well. - She did a good job!
(They're amazed.)
What was that movement?
As she's doing apparatus difficulty techniques,
she's getting additional scores for the techniques.
(However, she makes another mistake.)
- Look at her facial expression. - Gosh, she dropped it.
She did well, but she also made mistakes.
She's very graceful and beautiful though.
- Her face looks so calm. - You're right.
She doesn't look much disturbed. Good for her.
- Commentator Cha. - This is the last technique.
- The last one. - Right.
- She did it well. - She caught it.
(She nicely succeeded in the last risk degree technique.)
She did a good job. Goodness.
She played some parts so well, and made some regrettable mistakes.
She looks like she has mixed emotions.
It's very regrettable that she made little mistakes.
I feel sorry that she has tearful eyes already.
She did well. She did a good job.
- Her team members are crying. - Gosh, Se Jeong is crying.
My goodness.
- They know how hard she tried. - They know it.
Se Jeong is crying already. Goodness.
She worked so hard, that's why.
She's been practicing so hard, so diligently.
Well, now...
Now, let's see how she did.
Let's see the slow video and analyze her performance.
- She did it so well at first. - Right.
Her apparatus degree technique was good this time.
I described it as a mastery degree technique before.
- The term must have changed. - Yes, it has changed.
- Apparatus difficulty degree. - Now it's a risk degree technique.
- She slightly missed it. - Yes.
Does it make a slight deduction?
She caught it first and then missed it.
The referees will decide it.
They will decide it.
Actually, even real athletes find this technique hard.
She was supposed to turn around and catch with her legs.
How can she do that?
She succeeded when she practiced.
I'm so sorry that she made a mistake today.
She did this well. It was the last movement, right?
- She did a good job. - She did well.
It might look easy to handle a hoop,
but it's very big in size,
and it's heavy.
Throwing it high is a difficult technique for players.
She threw it high, and she did it well.
Hello, I'm at the stadium where rhythmic gymnastics is held.
I'm a rising star for MC in MBC, Seung Kwan of Seventeen.
- You're cute! - You're cute!
They get ambitious when they have an interview.
I guess he sees this as a pilot program.
He's trying to take a position.
I think he will appear in "Section TV" soon.
He said "a rising star for MC in MBC".
You just finished your performance and had a seat now.
How do you feel?
I'm nervous...
and worried that my team members...
might be disappointed even though I tried hard.
- They supported her together. - That's true.
The hard times are coming to her mind.
Se Jeong is sobbing. It's all right.
- She did her best. - She did well.
Of course she did.
But I enjoyed it. Yes.
All right. Then let's see the result.

She's tall.
Ji U's apparatus is the ball.
As you can see, she's the tallest competitor.

She even came to practice on Sundays.

The third competitor will enter.
Hae In from Laboum.
It's Hae In from Laboum.

But she's really good at using the ribbon.
She has a good sense of rhythm and expression.
She made something out of nothing.

She's going to start.
It's cheerful.
Her outfit is very cute and adorable.
What is Hae In's concept?
As you can see,
the atmosphere is very refreshing and cheerful.
She prepared a performance of a girl full of charm.
She says that her concept is a cheerful mischief.
Yes, she's also cheerful and lovely.
(She's so cute.)
She threw her ribbon.
- She threw her ribbon. - It's in the air.
- That's too bad. - Oh, my.
- It's not easy. - It's not.
It is...
a ribbon longer than 5m,
and it's made out of silk. The athlete must move constantly,
so it's hard to always make beautiful shapes.
- Yes, she caught it. - She caught it.
She threw it again.
- Yes, she caught it. - That's good.
She did a good job.
- Her facial expressions are good. - Yes.
It's hard to maintain good expressions when she's panting.

Yes, her facial expressions were also very good.
She is using her ribbon to make the same shape continuously.
She's very good at using the ribbon.

Seung Yeon of CLC.
Here's Seung Yeon of CLC. She's holding Indian clubs.
It's an apparatus that first appears in the championships this time.
Players see Indian clubs as a difficult apparatus.
They also want to avoid it.
It's heavy too, right?
It's hard, and you can get injured if you get hit with it,
so it's one of the apparatuses players are afraid of.
You can see her as a dark horse in this competition.
She's so beautiful.
Her hair and costume look like that of a real athlete the most.
I agree.

I'm drawn into her performance.
(Her performance draws attention from the audience as they watch it.)
The next jump is one that even athletes find hard.
She did well.
Things will be all right if she only doesn't make a mistake.
She should perform slowly to the end.
(She made the audience focused for 1 minute and 30 seconds.)
Did she miss the clubs at the end?
I should look at it closely.
To me, it seems like she did her best and caught it.
Will it count as a successful catch?
But it's her capability to cover her mistake.
You're right.
She has to keep moving the clubs while doing the balance movement.

And she looks like an athlete.
She's great.
- Goodness. - It suits her well.
I feel so sorry. I always feel sorry after the performance is over,
and it's the same when the match is over.
I did well enough as much as I had practiced...
To be honest, I regret it.
Even though she did well, she seems to have regrets herself.
- Right. - I'm very curious about the score.
The players keep turning the tables today.
