The shoot is starting.
Let's go, Mr. Actor.
(Always the same way in)
(Cheers and applause)
It's an open shoot today...
Hello, viewers.
Weekly Idol!
A lot of people today.
The last time NCT was here,
Hyung Don had no idea about the group.
And it was all over the internet.
Hold on...
How many members of NCT were there originally?
NCT 127 is seven people.
But Hae Chan and Mark are also in NCT Dream.
So how many members did NCT debut with at first?
- They don't know. - They don't know?
I still don't understand how it works.
Same for me.
NCT, NCT 127, NCT Dream, NCT U.
Did I miss one?
NCT 128.
128?
2018.
018...
2018. NCT 2049.
Let's go.
- Just from their target audience... - Right.
NCT is hard to figure out if you don't really care.
So we'll take this opportunity today
to brush up on our NCT knowledge.
NCT 2018.
Everyone that calls themselves NCT are here today.
Let's bring them in. NCT!
(NCT is in the basement studio)
(They come in endlessly)
They keep coming in.
(The biggest group we've had on our show)
So how do you stand?
How do you line up?
Stand in a row, if that's what you do.
Like a wedding photo, have the taller ones stand in the back.
That's everyone. Gosh, look at this.
What is this?
We're so close to this cameraman.
(They fill up the entire studio)
They're one group, people.
Please great the viewers!
1, 2, 3. To the world! This is NCT!
Hello, we're NCT.
What was that?
To the world. This is NCT.
To the world. We're at NCT now.
NCT.
Is this NCT, NCT 2018 or NCT U?
- This is NCT 2018. - Combined?
So all these members are NCT 2018?
Yes.
Will your name change every year? 2019, 2020 and so on?
Yes, that's right.
- So you're 2018 because it's 2018 now? - Yes.
So were you NCT 2017 last year?
We started calling ourselves 2018 this year.
So you were NCT U and Dream...
- And combined you're 2018? - Yes.
Is this the first time all of you have done a variety show?
Yes, this is our first time.
Why are you here? There are many other shows.
Actually, we're the only hosts that could
look out for this many people.
Since there are so many of you
we'll have each of you greet the people.
See the cameraman in a mask?
Stand here.
Just keep walking in a circle
as you introduce yourselves.
- Get it? - Yes.
Then you'll come back to this spot. Got it?
Each of you greet the camera.
- Hello, I'm Johnny. - Follow him.
Hello, I'm Tae Yong.
Hello, I'm the youngest member Ji Sung.
Hello, I'm Jae Hyun.
(The first time we're seeing this here)
What is this?
(So many handsome guys passing by)
(They keep going and going)
Hello, I'm Tae Il.
Hello, I'm Do Young.
Hello, I'm Win Win.
Hello, I'm Kun.
Hello, I'm Johnny.
(It's a never-ending handsome Mobius strip)
(The cameraman gets dizzy and ends it)
The cameraman is sick of it.
He's dizzy.
That was like a Ferris wheel.
Time for us to totally understand
the NCT system.
(It's not a big deal but it gets a lot of applause)
Hyung Don...
You'll pick out the ones that were on our show last time.
I already know. So who looks familiar?
Pick them out one by one by saying, "Good to see you, friend."
Who was on our show last time?
NCT Dream and NCT U.
It was NCT 127.
- You were NCT 127 then? - Yes.
Good to see you, NCT 127.
(Excited)
Let me pick the ones I know first.
- Good to see you, NCT 127. - Hello.
He's sure of him.
Is that it?
Hold on.
Is that it?
I know all of them. You missed a few.
Just tell me this. How many in NCT 127?
9 people.
So half of you are NCT 127?
Good to see you, NCT 127.
(This is why you should never guess for exams)
I'm not sure who NCT 127 is!
I thought so.
NCT, raise your hands.
That's everyone.
NCT 2018, raise your hands.
(They're all in NCT 2018)
Put them down.
You said you were NCT 2018.
We're all 2018.
What's NCT and what's NCT 2018?
2018 and NCT are the same.
NCT 2018 is also a project name.
NCT is our brand name.
He was so frustrated that he chimed in.
- So? - It's their brand name.
Since it all goes under the NCT umbrella...
We're all NCT.
So then NCT 2018...
Listen.
- You guys are NCT, right? - Yes.
Then who's in NCT 2018?
NCT is one big brand.
And NCT 2018 represents
the members that will promote that big brand this year.
Just listen.
- 18 people in NCT, right? - Yes.
- And 18 people in NCT 2018. - Right.
- Then why? - What's the point of this?
If NCT 2019 comes out next year
we'd still be NCT, but not NCT 2018.
So it's the same thing.
2018 is an album with every NCT member on it.
Within that album, there's NCT U, NCT Dream
and NCT 127 songs too.
Alright, so listen.
Who's the smartest one here?
- Me! - Come here.
- I'm the smartest one. - Explain.
NCT is infinite.
What does NCT mean?
NCT means Neo Culture Technology.
NCT doesn't have a set number of members.
But NCT 2018 has 18 members.
How many in NCT?
We'll get more members in NCT.
So you could lose members...
We won't lose members.
That's up to your CEO.
We promised ourselves.
- This is NCT and NCT 2018. - Yes.
So then NCT 127 from last time please step forward.
Yeah, that's it.
What's NCT 127?
NCT 127 is our first regional team.
The team that only performs in Seoul?
You'd better not go overseas.
We're going overseas.
What is that? You can't do that!
It's not like that. Hold on.
Why is NCT 127 based in Seoul?
Dream or U can keep changing.
So what I mean is...
Why are the 9 members of NCT 127 only based in Seoul?
Why are we the way we are?
Of course you're you!
So you're all from Seoul?
No.
Where's your hometown?
Chicago.
Then why are you based in Seoul instead of Chicago?
Because K-POP started in Seoul.
(He's about to lose his mind)
This is nuts...
Then how about Incheon? Or...
For example is there an NCT C or NCT China?
There could be in the future.
And there could be an NCT Incheon.
- Je No, you have a cute smile. - Thank you.
I think he knows this.
He keeps smiling.
It wasn't even that funny.
NCT Dream, step forward.
(Ji Sung, Hae Chan, Ren Jun, Jae Min, Mark, Chen Le, Je No)
The rest of you guys... It's Mark again.
Why did you step forward again?
As we mentioned before...
Dream and U are allied teams.
Things can keep changing depending on age or concept.
Hae Chan and I are in 127
but we're still at the age where we can be in Dream.
Youths.
What's NCT Dream?
The youth team.
- You're all teenagers? - Yes.
In Western age.
What does Dream mean? I get this one. NCT Dream.
We want to give hopes and dreams
to youths in their teens, so we're called NCT Dream.
Okay, I get that.
(Nice job, Hyung Don)
Then who's about to graduate soon?
Mark.
So Mark goes back to 2018.
I'll be 19 this year. So just up to this year.
Then is someone replacing you?
It's infinite.
As we get older,
we could be placed in the Seoul team
or even a brand new team.
You're NCT members but you're based in Dream.
And in your 20s you could join the older guys.
So the older guys are a club and these guys are a rock cafe.
Or a hangout spot.
NCT U, step forward.
(Tae Yong, Jae Hyun, Mark, Lucas, Jung Woo, Do Young, Win Win, Kun)
Why are you here again?
(Mark keeps showing up)
This is just how the concept is.
This is nuts.
Do Young, why are you here again?
The member roster is all based on the song.
What's NCT U?
It stands for United.
It's not that NCT U is like NCT.
NCT U's "Boss," "7th Sense" and "Without You."
All those songs have different members.
NCT... It's 2018?
Focus, focus.
You guys are here as NCT 2018, right?
And you put out an album recently.
And some songs are by NCT U.
Yes.
Right.
And songs by NCT Dream.
(Why are they so touched?)
It's like, "I think for this song,
him, him, him and him would be good."
(Now they feel relieved)
Hold on. Listen...
Some of you debuted 3 times.
Mark keeps debuting in a new group.
His nickname is the pro debuter.
I bet. How can you debut 3 times?
- You understand now. - He's always a rookie.
So depending on the song,
it could be NCT something else.
Yes.
NCT C or NCT Cry.
You keep crying when you sing.
(Laughs)
Hold on. I just heard something ridiculous.
Some of you debuted yet haven't been on a song.
Really?
- Me. - Kun?
You debuted yet you're not on a song?
Yes, I was in the Chinese version of "Without You."
Only the Chinese version?
So you never officially debuted?
Right, not yet.
So I guess today is your official debut.
- As a member of NCT. - Yes.
Who's the leader of NCT 127?
(The leader of NCT 127 is Tae Yong)
Who's the leader of NCT U?
NCT U doesn't have a leader.
How about for NCT Dream?
- Dream doesn't have a leader either. - Why not?
Because the members keep changing.
We don't decide on a leader because the rosters keep changing.
Who's the leader of NCT 2018?
We haven't decided on one yet.
I think they just pick a number
every morning to see who the leader of the day is.
"Oh, I guess I'm the leader today. Okay, follow me."
(He's still struggling)
Hyung Don can only remember Super Junior.
They're great.
We're familiar with those guys.
So much trouble to remember all their names.
So all 18 of you guys live in a dorm?
No, we're split apart.
How are your dorms split up?
127, Dream and U.
- Mark, where do you live? - With 127.
No. Mark could sleep at 127's dorm or Dream's dorm.
(Mark has many homes?)
Mark can sleep wherever he wants.
Since Mark is in all the subgroups,
he must be like the nucleus.
It's not like that. It's just fortunate
I happen to fit all the concepts. I got lucky.
- You're like a chameleon? - It's not like that.
The other guys can't fit in like you?
- It's not like that. - You're the king of transformations?
I wouldn't be in Dream if it wasn't for my age.
Fortunately, I'm young enough to be in Dream.
Then who was unlucky and didn't make the cut?
(About to cry)
They're all unlucky besides you?
How do you all get around?
When we do gigs as 2018...
Aside from today, we rarely get gigs as NCT 2018.
How many cars did you take today?
Around 5? 4 or 5.
The managers are also
split up according to the subgroups.
So it's based on age? Manager Dream?
(NCT really liked that one)
Tae Yong, you're the oldest?
No, Tae Il is the oldest.
Why is the oldest so quiet?
Hey! I've seen him before.
(He wants attention)
I've seen him before from somewhere.
- Probably here. - It was here?
- Did you see me too? - Yes, when I came last time.
Did you change your hair color?
Yes, it was blonde then.
No wonder!
We can't recognize you if you change your hair color.
- Tae Il, you're the oldest? - Yes.
How old are you?
I was born in 1994.
Then how old are you?
I'll be 25 this year.
- Who's the youngest? - Me.
Ji Sung, how old are you?
Born in 2002. I'm 16.
You were born in 2002? 2002?
- During the World Cup. - The World Cup?
Don't be so shocked. You'll seem older.
Ji Sung, do you feel a generation gap with you and Tae Il?
I don't get his jokes.
Which jokes?
His dad jokes.
Which ones?
The corny ones.
The corny ones?
(Shocked)
Do you know slang?
I've heard of some words.
I bet there's a gap there.
Give Tae Il a slang word.
You don't know any either.
I know some.
Isn't that slang? Tubular.
Tubular? That's from forever ago!
(Feels bad for not knowing slang)
That's a recent slang word.
What does that mean?
(He knows what it means)
Oh, I know that.
(Tae Il seems confident)
What is it?
Doesn't it mean cute?
(Oh, no... Tae Il...)
Oh, my God!
You don't know daengdaeng?
My little daengdaeng. You don't know that?
It refers to a cute person.
It's doggy.
Wow!
(This is news for a lot of them)
Wow, I see.
(Mind blown)
Doggy.
Wow...
How does it say doggy?
If you read it a certain way,
it looks like a different character.
Wow!
So that's slang?
I bet some of you guys from abroad can't really understand us that well.
Raise your hand if you're pretending to laugh.
If you're just pretending to laugh when you don't know.
- I say it's Win Win and Kun. - Yu Ta and Lucas.
They laugh at different times from the Korean members.
They look to their side.
(Some of them just laugh along with the others)
(Yu Ta isn't laughing now)
Lucas, you look a lot like Min Ho.
You look like Min Ho of SHINee.
A more handsome version of Min Ho.
(Just kidding)
(They laugh at anything)
So who wants to talk about the NCT 2018 album?
How about Chen Le?
Chen Le? Yeah, Chen Le.
I'm not that good at Korean.
It's okay. Go ahead.
Let's go.
The NCT 2018 album...
- Has a lot of songs. - Huh?
There are many songs.
Oh, many songs.
"Boss" by NCT U, "Baby Don't Stop" by NCT U,
"7th Sense" by NCT U, and "Without You" by NCT U.
There are songs by NCT Dream.
- There are many songs. - Many songs. I see.
What's the title track?
(They become silent)
It depends on the unit.
(Please stop talking about this)
Stop talking about that!
You're killing Hyung Don!
How is it split up again?
NCT 2018 has to have a title track for this album.
I'd say it's "Black on Black" that we're all featured on.
"Black on Black."
Tell us about the song.
Since we're all on the song, it should be powerful.
We have to look strong.
We'll be chasing our dreams. That's what it's about.
- Powerful music. - Right.
So you'll work hard to chase your dreams.
Right.
What's the genre?
For the genre...
Dance.
(That's his answer)
Dance.
Mark is sick of explaining, so just said, "Dance!"
(Powerful dance music)
Let's hear it. "Black on Black."
Cue the music!
(Boom)
(A powerful beat)
(They really draw you in)
(Tae Yong starts it off)
(They'll be the hottest SM idols of 2018)
(Upgraded with 18 members)
("Black on Black" is so flashy)
(Powerful jump)
(The best part about this versatile group)
(So many different kinds of performances)
(The dancing gets busier)
(Freeze)
(They all move)
(They're motionless as they watch)
(Showing off SM's tight choreography)
(They're so precise)
(This is a treat for the eyes)
(Free eye candy)
(You can tell how hard they practiced)
(They step in unison)
(So precise)
(Je No stomps to the center)
(What a sight)
(They're all such good dancers)
(The one in the center is the main dancer)
(Such tight choreography)
(We watched in awe as they finished the first verse)
(Automatic applause)
That was the first time we've watched this.
(They're all out of breath)
That was like the Olympic opening.
Now we'll have NCT do the Random Play Dance.
We really wanted to do that when we were here last time.
But we didn't have many songs then, so we couldn't.
It's such an honor to be able to do this.
So step forward if you're on the song that plays.
Mark will have to keep dancing.
We'll be able to remember you better when you step out.
"Oh, this guy is in this song."
NCT U, NCT Dream, NCT 127 and NCT 2018.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
Let's do this.
- I'm nervous. - We've never had a group like this.
I'm excited. NCT 2018's Random Play Dance.
Cue the music!
("Boss" by NCT U)
(They start dancing right away)
(Tae Yong said he was nervous but he looks just fine)
(They're looking steady in the beginning)
Is this NCT 127?
- No, this is U. - NCT U.
("Cherry Bomb" by NCT 127)
This is that song.
(From U Mark to 127 Mark)
(The other members join 127 Mark)
(Dancing in unison)
These guys are NCT...
127.
(Anyone can tell that 127 is cool)
("Chewing Gum" by NCT Dream)
(From 127 Mark to Dream Mark)
Mark!
(Where am I supposed to be?)
Where do I go?
Mark.
(We'll pretend we didn't see that)
(So refreshing)
(They're cute yet powerful)
("Baby Don't Stop" by NCT U)
What's this group?
NCT U.
(Ten and Tae Yong show off their sexy charisma)
(They all watch)
("Limitless" by NCT 127)
(They all get in the right formation?)
(Wary)
(Do Young, where are you going?)
(He's ruining the tight choreography)
(Kun roots for them as he waits for his turn)
(The dancing looks steady)
(Something orange runs by)
(These guys are spaced out)
("My First and Last" by NCT Dream)
(So energetic)
(Just watching them makes you smile)
(Jae Min was taking a break during this song)
(A cute song and powerful dance)
("Black on Black" by NCT 2018)
(Wow! I finally get to dance)
(It takes a while for all 18 to get in their places)
The basics!
(They've been out of it for a while)
(They fix their formation a bit)
(Here come Mark)
(Kun gets his first chance)
(Hyung Don is still struggling)
("Without You" by NCT U)
(Excited)
(They stop it)
Honestly, I have no idea when you make a mistake.
Everything was right.
I felt dizzy and wanted it to end sooner.
- Were you right or wrong? - We wouldn't know.
Is he in the right place?
Was it part of the dance when Tae Il hesitated?
Mark is amazing.
He danced to every song without making a single mistake.
Tae Il made some mistakes.
His shirt color stands out the most too.
Who's the best dancer?
Ten.
Ten, step forward.
(Tae Il is called out too)
Tae Il, you're good at dancing too.
He's good.
(Tae Il shows us a dance move to get us excited?)
Ten do a dance and then
do this like it's a battle.
(Ten vs. Tae Il)
Ten you'll set the mood first.
Cue the music.
(A dance battle that will make history)
(He's so light on the powerful beat)
(Now this is a dancer)
(Time to see NCT dance)
(The same beat yet it looks like he's moving at double-time)
(Look at that exciting footwork)
(The outcast dancer)
(Acknowledged)
- You're a vocalist? - Yes.
- And you're a good one? - Yes.
- I thought so. - Yes, that's right.
Ten is really good at dancing.
You get a 10 just like your name.
(Let's move on to the next segment)
We're with NCT. The NCT unit battle.
Beat NCT!
(Excited)
18 of you make up NCT 2018,
but you all have stickers on.
127, Tae Yong is in NCT U and NCT 127...
Jae Hyun is in NCT U and NCT 127...
Mark is in NCT 127, Dream and U.
Mark, you have to participate in all the games.
Okay.
Since you're in all the groups you'll be in all the games.
Is that okay?
I'll do my best.
It's a battle of the units.
If you win, you get a prize.
(The winning unit gets a prize)
We prepared a gift.
The first game is
the speed quiz.
You all know what this is, right?
Yes.
But there are rules.
NCT is made up of guys
from different counties.
Johnny, Yu Ta, Win Win and Mark in 127.
Win Win, Mark, Ten, Lucas and Kun in U.
Mark, Ren Jun and Chen Le in Dream.
The foreign members in each unit will give out the questions.
- Wow. - That's tough.
- Get it? - Johnny.
Johnny, Johnny.
So you'll see who gets the most right in 100 seconds. Got it?
- Yes. - Who wants to go first?
127.
127 will go first.
Foreign members, come this way.
127's foreign members.
You can pass if you don't know.
Here we go.
Ready... Start.
(Tripitaka Koreana)
You can't say it.
It's okay. You can do this.
Honorifics... Informal speak...
(Looks like he's explaining this)
(Confused)
- Semi-informal? - Informal speak.
There are 3 characters after that.
Walls have ears.
(He passes it on to Mark)
What's this?
- An arm. - What's this?
What's the bill Sejong the Great is on?
The $10 bill. $80.
What's this?
Tripitaka Koreana!
Correct!
- Mark! - A seagull!
(Mark is known as a seagull)
(Laughs)
Bark, bark, bark, bark. Poop.
- Poop. - Poop?
Firefly.
(He's such a smart guy)
You guys have to do a good job.
Your grandpa's wife.
Grandma!
No, no. In front...
(Frustrated that they can't get the answer)
(Tries to explain with numbers)
Great-grandmother.
(They say everything but the right answer)
- Fresh grandma. - No!
- Seafood grandma. - No!
- Birth! - Birth Grandma is correct!
(He incorrectly counts it as a right answer)
Birth Grandma.
(They don't even know what was wrong)
(Bullfrog)
It's okay. Just say anything.
Sang Hun's surname.
What?
- Okay, hold on. - Bullfrog?
(How did he guess that?)
Bullfrog?
(Respect)
(Do Young is like a genius)
Stop!
(NCT 127 got 4 right)
(Still impressed that Do Young got bullfrog)
Now it's NCT Dream.
- Do Young, you need to go. - NCT Dream.
(Mark is on Dream now)
(Hae Chan is always smiling)
- Let's go, Chen Le. - I'm nervous.
Here we go. NCT Dream.
Start!
(Green apple)
What's on the back of your cell phone?
- A camera. - The case.
Behind the famous cell phone brand.
An apple.
And one character before that.
Apple. Green apple.
(Goodness)
And one character before that.
(He gets the answer like he's possessed)
Okay, a turtleneck.
Turtleneck.
Something you wear around your neck.
When you're cold.
A scarf!
And it runs like this...
Frilled lizard.
Frilled lizard is correct.
(Freezes as soon as he sees the word)
Explain each character.
All separately.
A dog and...
Good.
First character.
Do, re...
Ant.
And two after that.
Ant hell?
An anteater?
(Of course it's anteater)
(Pleased)
(Hyung Don is pleased too)
What's this? The opposite of big.
Small.
And the opposite of mom.
Dad.
Uncle.
What's a nice way to say it?
Uncle is correct.
Nice way to say it...
This.
- Sock. - No, what's this?
Ankle bone.
- No, what's this? - Ankle bone.
Correct.
If you go outside, you see this.
- Snow. - Trees?
A snowman.
Yeah, they live in trees.
- Sloth? - Sloth.
Correct! Sloth.
(Tries to express chewing gum)
Stop!
Okay.
(NCT Dream got 6 right)
(Mark walks back)
Ren Jun, you're really good.
I'm confident in my Korean.
- Now it's NCT U. - NCT U.
(Here comes Mark again)
(So nervous)
Since 127 lost, just forget them.
Do Young said to forget 127.
Why are you in U?
Ready... Start.
What do we have in our dorm?
- Rooms. - Okay! And...
Cherry tomato!
- No, no! - Rattlesnake.
Rattlesnake!
Cherry tomato!
(Wary of Hyung Don)
(Hyung Don's face gives the answers away)
This guy...
It's a Chinese dish.
- Black bean noodles. - Hot pot.
Sweet and sour pork.
Seafood stir-fry.
- Spicy seafood noodles. - Black bean noodles.
- You can do this. - You're almost there.
Pass!
(He leaves it for Ten to explain)
(We might win at this rate)
- You can do this. - Black bean noodles?
It's kind of pronounced like this.
(Lucas gives them hints from behind)
(He didn't get the right word out of them)
- Half and half noodles! - Correct!
(Out of it)
What is it?
(Struggling)
(Cries out because he doesn't know)
(They just feel bad for him)
Pass!
(Here comes Mark the savior)
Tug of war!
(He's better at explaining things with his body)
Oh, I know this! Here.
You did this to my nose.
The nose bone.
Bruise, bruise!
- Bruise dog! - Doggy!
- Bruise dog! - Sea squirt!
Sea squirt!
(Such a good guesser)
(Dream is nervous they might not win)
This is really hard.
It's seafood.
- Shrimp? - Express it with your body.
- Lobster. - Octopus.
It's a kind of octopus.
- Three-legged octopus! - Three-legged octopus!
Stop!
(Dream is excited)
Nice job.
(They end it nicely)
Bruise dog.
Half and half noodles. That was hard.
NCT Dream got 1 point!
This means Mark gets a prize no matter what.
He gets a gift no matter what.
It would've been hard for them without Mark.
Time for the next battle.
Beat NCT. This next battle is the dance cover battle!
(Dance, dance)
This is a symbolic segment of our show.
And something all rookie idols most do here. Dance covers.
Do you guys do dance covers of other artists?
Hae Chan does that a lot for fun.
So that means Dream and 127 have an advantage.
We'll play songs at random.
If you think you know the song, you can step forward and dance.
The team that excites us the most
will get the point.
Here we go. Cue the music.
("Monster" by EXO)
(The 5 members of Dream rush out)
(He's doing it in reverse)
(Splitting up the parts)
Look at their formation.
(Dream makes an impact first)
("Sorry, Sorry" by Super Junior)
(We have to dance to this!)
(They all start dancing)
(Super Junior should be pleased to see this)
("Growl" by EXO)
(They react immediately)
You can sit down if you don't know the dance.
(Tae Yong dances in the back)
(It's like this is their song)
(Win Win is a hidden 127 member)
So cool.
(Dream conquers the center)
(It's like Dream's talent show)
("Sherlock" by SHINee)
(These guys don't know when to stop)
(Nobody really notices Yu Ta, Jae Hyun Tae Il, Tae Yong, Johnny, Ten)
(That's why the center is important)
(Looks like Dream might win this)
(Hehe)
Hold on, hold on.
It's hard for us to judge with so many of you dancing.
Let's have two representatives per team.
So that we can get a better look. Got it?
Cue the music.
("Move" by Tae Min)
(The guys that conquered the center step out again)
(Goodness)
[Kocowa Ver] E347 Weekly Idol "NCT 2018" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Such sensual movements)
(Looks so classy)
(They really are SM's future)
(His dancing instincts awaken)
("Red Flavor" by Red Velvet)
(He finally stands up)
(Hahaha)
(Johnny joins the short guys)
(He tries to copy Hae Chan's dancing)
(Johnny is feeling it and moves to the center)
(Johnny makes his presence known in the center)
("Cheer Up" by TWICE)
(Now it's a JYP dance)
(No problem)
Amazing!
(So adorable)
("As If It's Your Last" by BLACKPINK)
I don't know this one.
(Ren Jun steps out confidently)
(He just said he didn't know this dance)
(Look at this guy)
(And that's all he knows)
("BBoom BBoom" by MOMOLAND)
(Hey! This song?)
(Stands up like he's possessed)
(He seems to know it too)
(Smiling)
(Hae Chan's solo performance)
(So confident)
Just give him the win.
(Amazing...)
(Do whatever you want to, Hae Chan)
This is...
- No contest. - We have to give it to him.
He did all the dances.
But this is important.
Hae Chan is on NCT 127 and Dream.
Who will he give the point to?
NCT Dream has 1 point so far.
To make it more fun...
- Let's give it to 127. - 127 gets 1 point!
(He gave 127 the point to make things more interesting)
Hae Chan knew all the dances.
We didn't even have to judge.
No contest even.
How do you know all those dances?
I'm interested in this and if I keep watching them...
It's obvious you're in this group for your dancing.
It's my singing...
You're a vocalist?
So you're a vocalist that tries hard.
(He's so talented)
This is the third battle.
Beat NCT. The magic hand contest!
Magic hand?
Let me explain this game.
How well do you all really know each other?
Cohesion.
It's time to find out how good your teamwork is.
The rules are simple.
One member in each unit will get inside a box.
The others touch this member with their hands
and try to guess who it is. It's a simple game.
We'll set it up.
This is so hard.
Do the older guys want to go first?
Yes.
- NCT 127 first. - Alright.
You can talk it out about who goes in the box.
NCT U and Dream, turn around.
- Turn around. - No peeking.
You don't have to kneel.
This show isn't like that. Stand up. Come on.
(They're like students in the principal's office)
Come on.
No peeking.
You can't peek.
Someone without product in their hair.
Actually...
I think it'll be hard to guess him.
(They pick Win Win)
Tae Il.
Tae Il. Okay. Tae Il.
Close your eyes.
- One of you, get in the box. - Tae Il.
(The handsome one of NCT 127)
There. Okay.
(Win Win is inside)
Okay.
127, hide so they can't see you.
Stay hidden.
Turn around.
One member each in NCT U and Dream.
- Me. - Kun.
You can only touch him.
Chen Le.
Don't go in front of the box.
Ready... Start.
You have 30 seconds.
(All the Chinese guys)
(They all go for the chin)
Don't call out the answer. We'll count to 3 first.
Touch him all you want.
Just hold still in there.
(He keeps contorting his face)
Don't cry.
I think I know.
Just hang in there. It's almost over.
Stop.
His stage name is Doggy.
(Heart racing)
Who is it in NCT 127? Say your answers at the count of 3.
1, 2, 3.
- Tae Yong. - Jae Hyun.
- Who? - Tae Yong.
Tae Yong? Why do you think it's him?
By his hair and...
(Alright)
This part...
His jawline.
It seems like Tae Yong?
- Kun. - Jae Hyun.
Jae Hyun? Why?
Because it's smooth here.
It's smooth?
Because his chin was smooth?
Jae Hyun is right here.
You're out.
(Happy, sad)
Is it Tae Yong? Let's see.
Let's call out to Tae Yong.
Let's call out to him. 1, 2, 3.
Tae Yong!
(They called out to Tae Yong)
Come on out.
Win Win!
You're out!
(U and dream both fail)
(My face did a good job)
Now it'll be NCT U.
NCT U, go behind the screen.
(After watching carefully)
What do you think?
Okay, okay.
Hold on.
(Why does it seem like they're being punished?)
Someone's going in the box.
- Turn around. - There.
Who wants to guess from 127 and Dream?
(Ren Jun of Dream)
Rock, paper, scissors. Rock, paper, scissors.
Why does 127 have so few members?
They're all over there.
Stand here.
No peeking.
Just use your right hand.
Ren Jun, I believe in you.
Start.
Touch his teeth first.
You can't hide your face.
This is hard.
His skin is so soft.
This isn't supposed to turn you on.
If he has nice skin...
(Doesn't know, in pain, knows)
I'm not sure.
I know.
(Already?)
I know.
Stop!
Stand back there.
(It went on for so long)
1, 2, 3.
Mark.
I also say Mark.
(Disappointed)
No, no. Never mind.
- Jung Woo. - Why?
(Yikes)
I touched his ear and it wasn't Mark.
Mark vs. Jung Woo.
- Hold on. - Why do you think it's Mark?
He felt moist.
I thought it was Mark when I touched his ear.
Mark doesn't have moist skin.
How would you know that Mark doesn't have moist skin?
I touch his ear often.
- I'm sure of it. - Mark's ears are unique.
He said Mark and he said Jung Woo.
Let's take a look.
Come on out, buddy.
(Ta-da)
(Celebrating, regret)
(Current magic hand score)
(Ren Jun has the touch)
1 point for NCT Dream.
He changed his answer after talking about his ear.
Now it's 127.
It was one of them.
(The last battle to determine the final winners)
Mark, stay there.
If neither team gets this right,
the final winners are NCT Dream.
This can be confusing.
You can't peek.
(They pick Jae Min)
(They look so tall from behind)
Is that what you want to do?
That's it. Get in there and sit.
Keep your distance for now.
Turn around, guy.
Okay, that's it.
Turn around now.
The representatives.
Who will guess from NCT Dream?
Lucas.
What about for 127? Jae Hyun.
If neither of you get this right,
Dream automatically wins.
Place your hands up.
Jae Hyun, you can do this, right?
Mark, why are you in there?
Put this hand in and guess.
Ready...
Start.
What will happen?
This is Mark.
Which team will get the gift?
Okay, I know.
(After feelings Jae Min's nostrils)
Touch him some more.
(He keeps going for the nostrils...)
(I can't tell)
You never know.
It's easy to guess the Dream members.
Do you know?
Stop.
(Nervous)
1, 2, 3.
(Will 127 and U get it right?)
1, 2, 3.
(Will 127 and U get it right?)
1, 2, 3.
- Hae Chan! - Ji Sung!
1, 2, 3.
- Hae Chan! - Ji Sung!
- What was that? - Hae Chan.
- And? - Ji Sung.
Different answers.
If they're both wrong, NCT Dream wins.
Why do you think it's Hae Chan?
Hae Chan is my roommate.
I felt his nostrils.
And?
- I say Ji Sung. - Why?
- This is Ji Sung? - The feeling here.
From the feeling here? Okay.
Is it Ji Sung or Hae Chan?
1, 2, 3.
- Hae Chan, come on out. - Hae Chan.
Here he is.
You're out!
Come on, man!
NCT 127 is automatically out.
- I'm in U. - But if Lucas gets it right...
(He changes teams)
Since it'll tied up, there will be a rematch.
(Sharing his experience)
Is it Ji Sung?
Who is it? Come on out!
Come on out, buddy.
(The right answer)
- Hi. - Jae Min!
(Disappointed)
(Casually goes back to 127)
The winning team is NCT Dream!
(NCT Dream wins beat NCT)
(The youngest team won)
The younger guys pulled it off.
(Even the hosts don't know what the gift is)
What gift will you guys yet? We don't even know.
That's right.
What's the gift?
Korean beef?
We've given away Korean beef too much.
(An awkward laugh after seeing the gift)
Watermelon.
That's great!
(Such insincere reactions)
(It doesn't look like much of a gift)
Just one?
How will 18 guys split this?
We're really sorry.
(It's rare that he apologizes on this show)
(Disappointed, cheerful)
We're really sorry.
It's not even a pizza...
These are hard to get this season.
(Then why bother getting it?)
We heard you all like watermelon.
Especially him.
(Mark likes sweets)
- Thank you. - Your gift.
We're really sorry.
(The gift was supposed to be funny...)
(But they're still cheerful)
We did the show with NCT 2018 today.
It was hard to keep track of all the units.
But you all showed up today.
It was very meaningful that we got to find out how you guys work.
How was it today, Mark?
All of us were worried and nervous before coming here
but you guys were so nice to us. Thank you for that.
We had a lot of fun.
Please support NCT 2018. Thank you.
Win Win.
I had so much fun thanks to you two.
I hope NCT receives even more love in 2018.
I hope 2018 is a big year for us.
Very nice.
Tae Yong.
We're still amateurs
so we were very nervous, but you calmed us down
which is why we were able to show more of our charms.
We'll continue to work hard in 2018.
- Please continue to support us. - Please support us.
This has been NCT 2018!
(Such a charming group with so many possibilities)
Jae Hyun, thank you.
(Thanking the guests)
(Don't miss the next episode)
Weekly Idol!
We're with MONSTA X.
Move forward. Don't back away.
(An idol donating his talents)
(I want you)
(You'll fall for me)
(We'll be here this year too)
(I want to become a shark... It's cool)
(Here comes a sexy shark)
(The first muscular shark)
He's so strong.
So firm.
So cool.
(The basement studio bowling alley is open)
(Human bowling balls and pins)
He's so fast.
(Be prepared for some monster laughs)
(Don't miss MONSTA X next episode)
