(Welcome to Weekly Idol)
- Whether it's here... - Or there...
In the end... Weekly Idol!
The hot month of July has begun.
Time to introduce today's Thumbs Up Idol of the Week.
They can dance, sing and they're passionate.
They're the aces of K-Pop.
Today's Thumbs Up Idol of the Week is A.C.E!
A.C.E!
(Welcome, A.C.E)
It's "Gashina."
("Gashina" 2x speed version)
(They're sexy from the start)
(And their choreography is tight)
(Impressed)
(Their hands are as seductive as Sun Mi)
(Not a single mistake)
(They don't miss the sexy parts)
Wow, this is amazing.
(They pull this off with no problem)
(These guys are crazy good)
(Byeong Kwan looks so cute)
(Seductive and precise)
(Shooting love bullets at their fans)
- What's with these guys? - Chills!
(They stay powerful and sexy)
(Pleased)
Another one.
("Take Me Higher" 2x speed version)
This is 2x speed?
(Byeong Kwan takes the center)
(Their formation changes)
(They find their places quickly)
(He finds his place and smiles)
(Dong Hun hurries to get in place)
(Their formation changes again)
(2x speed means twice the sexiness)
(We're the refreshing and sexy idols)
(They're starting to lose their minds)
(Hang in there, guys)
(Their choreography still remains tight)
(These guys are so impressive)
A.C.E!
They really get the thumbs up!
They're truly Thumbs Up Idols.
That was amazing!
That really was.
Where did you guys come from?
Where did you all show up from?
They're really impressive.
Today's Thumbs Up Idol of the Week is A.C.E!
We really wanted to be on this show. We'll do our greeting now!
Set to be a hero! A.C.E! Hello, we're A.C.E!
A.C.E!
I got the chills...
- I kept getting the chills. - Right.
They were very powerful.
One of the reasons why they did such a good job was
because most people just do the dance moves
but they made great facial expressions too.
It was in-synch too.
You made great faces.
Thank you.
Gashina" hasn't been covered by a male group yet.
Could you show us again...
- In original speed? - Of course.
(Of course)
We can do that.
This is amazing. This is just practice for them.
("Gashina" by Sun Mi)
(They make their sexy faces)
They're good.
(Powerful and tight choreography)
(This is really a treat for them to watch)
I like that part!
I'm getting the chills.
(Powerful and sexy)
(Byeong Kwan looks so sweet when he smiles)
(They get sexier as the song goes on)
(A.C.E shoots their love bullets)
(Perfect choreography)
They're so sexy.
(They're even perfect at the body wave)
(These guys are masters on stage)
Amazing!
Just how much did they practice?
I think they practiced this more than their comeback.
Byeong Kwan, can you turn around?
(Drenched in sweat)
Gosh...
I think you guys truly are a sexy group.
And you have great stage presence.
Of course. That was great.
And the other song you performed is your new song?
Yes, that's right.
It's called "Take Me Higher."
It's a seasonal song that's great for summer.
You'll enjoy the song more if you're driving, feeling depressed,
feeling happy or if the weather is nice.
Please support "Take Me Higher."
- Great. - Let's go!
Director Yoo, go!
(Director Yoo's Charm Mining Cam)
Here I come.
(Jun will do a Kang Ta impression)
♪ For a brief moment ♪
(Impressed and amazed)
(He brings out his Kang Ta voice)
(Into it)
I heard SM in his voice.
He sounded like an SM artist.
Byeong Kwan.
I'll do a fast dance.
I'll do a 2x speed dance to a song that's even fast at the original tempo.
A fast dance?
A super fast dance.
I think it'll be faster than all the dances that have been done here.
This isn't 3x speed. This is super speed.
Director Yoo, make sure to get this.
Let's see the original tempo first.
(He warms up at the original tempo)
(Everyone, watch Byeong Kwan)
(The beat gets faster)
This is already fast.
This is the original tempo?
(It's hard to tell, but this is still the original tempo)
(He moves more as the beat gets faster)
(Trying his best)
(His dancing looks so powerful)
(He's finished warming up... Time to get started)
(Here comes the super speed dance)
(This is the most he's moved his limbs in his life)
(So busy)
(It's tense for the people watching too)
(Jaw drops)
(The super fast beat keeps going)
(Byeong Kwan has set the standard for the super speed dance)
(Hurray for Byeong Kwan)
Byeong Kwan!
That was amazing.
It could've been more powerful.
That was plenty.
- Thank you. - That was great.
Whose song was that?
That one? Andy Mineo.
He's this guy that lives overseas.
You know him?
I don't know him. But I listen to his music a lot.
If he sees your dance...
"Oh... Who's that? Who's that?"
"Let's work together."
"That was great."
Incredible.
Now it's Dong Hun!
I need to get ready.
I need to take my contact lenses out.
(Don't be alarmed, he's just taking his contact lens out)
You're taking your contacts out?
He's really taking his contacts out!
- During a shoot... - He took his contacts out.
I think this is the first time ever on our show.
For the first time!
These aren't one-day lenses, so I have to hold onto them.
Get a shot.
(Two contact lenses)
Now that he took his contacts out, let's see his skill.
I can cry very fast.
- You're going to cry? - Really?
And as I'm crying I'll sing an exciting song sadly.
He'll cry as he sings an exciting song sadly.
He's famous for having sad eyes.
Oh, you're right. They are sad.
(He makes his sad eyes)
(Director Yoo focuses)
(Getting into character)
(He brings up all his sadness)
(Teary)
♪ I'm the loser that loves you, a loser ♪
(I'm the loser that loves you, a loser)
(Gosh, what was that?)
(With sad eyes he sings about his short-comings)
(It's strangely sad yet funny)
(This song professing his love sounds so sad)
(Trying his best / Pleased)
He was messing with you, Se Yoon.
He just messed with you.
(Se Yoon was insulted through song)
You didn't get that?
I did...
But I was still happy.
I like talents like this.
That was pretty good.
I prepared this just for this show. That was my first time doing it.
Your eyes are all red.
Wow!
It's Wow.
Hello, I'm the robot of the group. I'm Wow.
You're a robot?
I can do whatever you ask me to.
I heard you can do an impression of Sa Rang's family.
I really like Sa Rang.
I'll play Sa Rang.
(They cast Shin Young as Sa Rang)
(They're surprised at the perfect match)
(Sorry, Sa Rang)
It's Sa Rang.
Sa Rang, how about eating a banana?
(Suddenly turns into Yano Shiho)
(Yes!)
(Very satisfied)
We did it.
(Wow is pleased at his own impressions)
You got a lot of footage.
Plenty of footage!
You filled up that camera.
They're talented, likable and they have a great concept.
We're excited about their futures.
I bet you guys will be here soon as the main guests.
You guys are so good.
For real. Come back.
We'll do our best.
Any closing words?
We debuted a year ago
and we were trainees together for 2 years.
We're on this show after 3 years together.
And our goal before we debuted was to be on this show.
We even took a photo of our goals.
We wrote that our goal this year was to get on this show.
That's why we were so happy to be here today.
Please support our new song "Take Me Higher."
We'll continue to be hard-working idols,
so please show us a lot of support.
We'll be the aces of K-Pop.
Please look out for us!
This has been A.C.E!
(Weekly Idol)
Idol of the Week.
We have a lot of props prepared on our set today.
Meaning that we're going to get some incredible guests.
I have ties to our guests today.
I know the CEO and the artists.
I'm usually friends with the CEOs. You know someone too?
I know the CEO for these artists.
We have some remarkable guests.
It's not like they put out a new album.
And they're not even promoting now.
They're not even that active on variety shows.
But strangely, they're on our show today.
When the staff tried to cast them
they happily obliged.
So we were very happy and excited about that.
The team that brought hip hop to mainstream.
It's Amoeba Culture Family!
Amoeba Culture!
So we're supposed to dance.
Hi.
Hangzoo!
(Startled)
- Hello, Shin Young. - Hello.
(This hiker really stands out)
Before you introduce yourselves...
Boi B, I think we need to ask you about your outfit today.
It's really hot out. We mentioned that it's July now.
Did you lose a bet or something?
- Precisely. - Right?
Friends always like making bets.
He's dressed like Um Hong Gil.
The famous hiker?
- For this show? - Yes.
Since we're not on TV that often,
we wanted to do something memorable for the show.
That's definitely memorable.
- This should be fun for us. - Yes.
Crush, I can't tell your hair from your hat.
It's protective coloring.
You're right.
To prepare for my new album...
I'm not supposed to show this but...
(Crush shows his new hairstyle for the first time ever)
(He took his hat off here)
It'll take a long time for that dye to come out.
I see the CEOs of Amoeba Culture are here as cardboard cut-outs.
I think it's because
they don't want to be on TV with Rhythm Power.
Why not?
Bad things happen when they're on TV together.
They insult each other?
These guys forgot about the past. They used to love acting silly.
But these days they get embarrassed about acting silly.
That's upsetting to me.
This attitude of theirs upsets us.
- Their attitude? - It's like this.
They do things that good-looking guys would do.
Choiza especially thinks that he's in a different class than us.
They always fight with Rhythm Power about that.
Dynamic Duo was thrown under the bus before they even greeted the viewers.
- Can you greet the viewers first? - Each of you.
First of all...
(Gets down)
(Hangzoo seems very determined from the start)
- Taking it so far... - He's a warrior on TV.
- A big bow from the rap show winner. - He's like a player.
It's getting hotter now.
It's so good to be here.
I've been at Amoeba Culture for 8 years.
I'm the pride of Incheon, the son of Incheon. I'm Hangzoo.
Hangzoo!
After Hangzoo is Ha:tfelt.
Hello, I've been with Amoeba for 2 years and I've been an artist for 12 years.
That's why I make everyone a bit uncomfortable.
A veteran artist.
I'm a new employee...
What are you all doing?
I make the guys uncomfortable. I'm Ha:tfelt. Hello.
An experienced new employee.
Hello, I'm in Amoeba Culture's hiking club.
I'm Boi B. I've been with Amoeba for 8 years. Please be good to me.
Geegooin.
Hyah!
I'm the one with the unique voice. I'm Geegooin.
- You've also been at Amoeba for 8 years. - Yes.
Hello, I've been at Amoeba for 5 years.
I'm Crush. Good to be here.
During the opening,
Se Yoon bragged that he knows you guys.
We worked with Se Yoon
for our music video "Real Man."
He got us through some tough times.
He was the light at the end of our long dark tunnel.
He directed the music video for "Real Man."
It was very avant-garde. Byeong Gang Soe is in it.
It's a music video portraying a man's true strength.
Who played Byeong Gang Soe?
Wrestler Sim Kwon Ho.
(For real)
For real.
What about Crush?
Crush...
We were on a show together recently.
I heard you met at a wedding in Jeju-do.
Right. A nice night in Jeju-do.
We had drinks at Jeju-do. It was fun.
You told me about your school days.
Right, I went on a school trip when I was a freshman in college.
I sang UV's "Probation."
I even did the dance.
We even sang the song together at Jeju-do.
You do have ties to these guys.
So your CEO is Dynamic Duo.
Do they treat their employees well?
(All of their faces become dark)
(It's not so bad)
- I'm satisfied. - Ha:tfelt is satisfied.
(She's satisfied?)
I saw Crush talk to Dynamic Duo a few days ago.
Crush was sitting down
talking like this. And Dynamic Duo was like...
(Dynamic Duo was really trying to please Crush)
They have no power over him.
(The CEOs have no power over Crush)
They have no power over him.
- And Crush was like... - He's above them.
I saw that from far away through a window.
I was so curious about what they were talking about.
It's usually stuff like this.
Show us.
Crush.
(Sang Min acts as the agency CEO)
Just sit for now.
(Arguing)
You stand up! You stand up!
Sit down.
Do you know how much money I made for you?
That's just like me.
(Hyper-realism)
That's what you said to them?
"Know how much I made for you?"
Ha:tfelt, you said you were satisfied.
Yes, I moved house recently.
And Gaeko bought me a vacuum cleaner.
- An expensive one? - That one.
This is the face! This is the face he made!
(The face that Se Yoon saw)
This is the face!
Sit down!
It's not like that. We'll buy you one next time.
I can't work with you guys anymore.
(Joking around)
Even today...
Did they do something for you?
The CEOs gave me an air purifier.
(The guys are agitated)
He feels wronged.
Boi B and I moved recently too.
I moved too. It was a year ago.
They asked her first if she needed anything.
Do you need anything?" Like that?
They don't even pay the rent for the studio.
That's messed up.
I think they try to be nicer to me since I'm a girl.
You're the first female artist to join Amoeba Culture.
Thank you.
(I love you, Dynamic Duo)
Do you have work parties often?
I think we have more now that Ye Eun joined us.
Ye Eun makes things happen.
When there's a shoot.
Or if a shoot is coming up.
So for the hard-working employees of Amoeba Culture...
We have the CEO's credit card!
I have two! Their personal credit cards.
Kim Yun Seong and Choi Jae Ho.
They're the real deal.
They gave us their credit cards and said we could use them.
This is Amoeba Culture's work party!
(It's Amoeba Culture's work party)
The CEO's credit card!
They're such remarkable guys.
(These two are already pumped)
(It's on Dynamic Duo today)
(Time for the employees to enjoy themselves)
We have to get everyone excited for the work party.
The best thing to get them pumped up is through songs.
With 12 years of experience...
12 year of experience yet she's a new employee at Amoeba.
We'll have the new employee sing a song first.
(Welcome to Weekly Idol karaoke)
She's incredible.
(Already excited)
(Ha:tfelt will perform first)
("Pluhmm" by Ha:tfelt)
(Dancing)
(Such a nice voice)
(These guys are already partying)
Look at the hiker.
(Pumped up)
Mr. Hiker!
("Rhythm Power" by Rhythm Power)
(Things get more pumped up)
(Such positive energy)
(So pumped)
(They even do a little dance)
("Bittersweet" by Crush)
(He has such a sweet voice)
He's going to his bosses.
Trying to appeal to them.
The bosses!
(He drags Choiza out with him)
(Get me an air purifier too)
(He's being silly but his singing is great)
(Things have heated up)
Thank you.
Are you all having fun?
Yes!
(Excited)
You've warmed up your voices.
You'll all sing your favorite karaoke song now.
- We need you, Se Yoon. - Me?
(Excited)
- What should I sing? - DEUX?
Then I'll sing "Probation" with Crush.
(Their performance together in Jeju-do again)
(He practices the dance)
(How cute)
("Probation" by UV)
But now I won't hate you anymore.
I'll become cruel too.
Where do we go?
To the left!
(They all dance in unison)
(Flapping around)
(He's the main vocalist of UV)
(Crush sings with his sweet voice)
(This is how Crush parties at karaoke)
(Se Yoon has met the best partner since Muzie)
(He can still do powerful improvisations)
(Time to get pumped up)
(Crush is excited)
(He doesn't even try this hard for his own songs)
(Rerererererere)
(LOL)
(Perfect teamwork)
(Tries to sound sweet)
(Look at this tight choreography!)
(They all unite through "Probation")
(He looks like he had a few drinks after hiking)
This is tiring.
Go up!
(Perfectly in-synch)
Everybody! Probation!
(We were pretty great)
That was tiring.
Not bad.
(Not bad)
(They show off their teamwork)
That part was perfect.
(Se Yoon and Crush had perfect chemistry)
(Ha:tfelt and Shin Young's special collaboration)
("Candy" by H.O.T.)
(So exciting)
Rhythm Power, finish this up.
We're ready.
- What'll you sing? - "Drinking."
(An unexpected song choice by rappers)
Who's the best singer?
Hangzoo.
Hangzoo got 2nd place at a singing contest for youths.
(He won 2nd at a singing contest)
By singing?
By singing.
He sang at Juan Basement Plaza.
("Drinking" by Vibe)
(Getting into it)
Hangzoo.
(An interesting way to hold the mic)
He's pretty good!
(So soulful)
(He brings out his R&B soul)
(He can play around with the notes)
(He's pretty good)
(He sings like he's herding cows)
(Impressed for real)
Geegooin.
(It gets to the climax)
♪ Always drinking ♪
(Epic harmonizing)
(Totally into it)
♪ We're strangers ♪
(The soul of true soul mates)
(I'm so proud of my pals...)
(He sings like he's herding cows again)
(Geegooin and Hangzoo sound so sad)
♪ Drinking gets me drunk ♪
♪ Of course drinking gets you drunk ♪
(LOL)
(Gets really into it)
(Hangzoo is doing great)
(He even gets through the high note easily)
♪ I'm always drinking ♪
♪ You're an alcoholic ♪
(Hangzoo's improvising is so funny)
♪ Ma'am, we need another bottle here ♪
(He calls out to a bar lady with such desperation)
(I have to film this)
(They sing in unison again)
(This could become a single)
(The amazing soulful song just won't end)
(They tried needlessly hard)
(They use all the English they know)
Still waiting.
Don't want to say good-bye.
For you.
Let's go, Korea.
(A big round of applause)
(This is how Korean rappers sing a ballad!)
I laughed so much.
♪ Of course drinking gets you drunk ♪
♪ Ma'am, we need another bottle here ♪
(Perfect teamwork)
(Pleased)
We're all pumped up now for this dinner party.
Eat some of the food we prepared.
We'll take a short break and continue.
- Chopsticks. - Thank you.
- This is so good. - You're right.
This is good.
(They're all busy eating now)
(Who starved these guys?)
Time to look at your self-written resumes.
Self-Written Resumes!
(Writing)
First is Amoeba Culture's first female artist.
Time look at Ha:tfelt's resume.
Hold on. Your name...
Your surname is Hak?
Hak Ye Eun?
- What's with your handwriting? - Hak Ye Do.
Did you write with your feet?
I have poor handwriting.
(This is textbook bad handwriting)
Her name is Ye Eun, but her handwriting makes it look like
Ye Do.
That's why your nickname is Ye Do?
Really?
For your chemistry with the others...
You wrote that Crush probably finds you uncomfortable.
And to you Crush is a funny guy.
Boi B thinks you're kind
and you also think he's kind.
Hangzoo thinks you're pretty.
And to you Hangzoo is the guy that won "Show Me the Money."
(He's just the guy that won... Nothing more, nothing less)
Geegooin thinks you two are close.
And you think he's a funny guy.
For me funny people have extremes.
They can be really silly, but be very shy at times.
Geegooin and Crush are like that.
So you're close with Geegooin and Crush?
No.
You aren't?
I actually shot something with Ye Eun.
We were filmed eating together.
So that we could become closer.
I thought that brought us a lot closer.
That's what he says now,
but he hasn't spoken a single word to me today.
Really?
To me, Ye Eun is such a big celebrity.
He's been saying that for 1.5 years.
Geegooin.
Do you... like Ye Eun?
Don't say things like that.
If he's into her, he might have trouble talking to her.
- Don't be so outdated. - That's so old-fashioned.
Who are you more awkward with? Geegooin or Crush?
Out of them two?
You wrote that you make Crush uncomfortable.
To me, Ye Eun is such a big celebrity.
(Let's see... Who am I not as close with?)
But when I'm with Crush
we can just be comfortably quiet.
But with Geegooin... He makes me wary.
I get it.
Geegooin thinks you two are close.
And he didn't come to my housewarming party.
Oh, that's a problem. Why didn't you go?
I caught the flu that day.
(What a lame excuse)
On that day all of a sudden?
He even went to the salon.
He went to the salon and then he was right near my house,
but then he suddenly got a fever and didn't show.
He suddenly caught the flu.
(Geegooin, that was wrong)
It's not like that.
I didn't say anything.
It wasn't like that at all.
Sang Min keeps trying to make it out like I have something for her. But I don't.
He was excited to go to the housewarming party
but then he noticed a big pimple.
(Very relatable)
I thought I made him uncomfortable.
- No, it's not that. - Then why didn't you show up?
You went to the salon to go to a housewarming party.
I had a TV appearance, so I went to the salon.
I was really sick then. For real. The guys saw me.
They did?
I thought he was really sick.
You thought he was sick?
He was acting.
It was lovesickness.
(Geegooin was lovesick)
(We're rooting for their friendship)
I have something to say to Crush.
You have something to say to Crush?
Why do you keep ignoring my texts?
Timeout.
Does he at least read the texts?
- He doesn't. - He doesn't even read them?
It's not like that. This is a misunderstanding.
I have like 800 to 900 unread texts now.
I've been telling people to just call me.
Why don't you read your texts?
- In July... - He's preparing his album.
It's been over a month since I talked to my parents on the phone.
You shut everyone out to focus on your work.
Sang Min has 900 unread texts too.
Why don't you read them?
He has a different reason.
(They already know why...)
Sang Min.
(People are looking for him)
"We texted you ages ago!"
(Debt)
"Will I be able to date?"
You're close with Boi B and Hangzoo, right?
- Yes. - Right.
Know any great guys you can set her up with?
I might think that he's a great guy,
but it's all up to Ye Eun to find a guy
that she's really into.
At least show them to me.
You always ask me to bring my female friends around.
(Totally flustered)
Come on. You won "Show Me the Money."
You set her up with your friends.
I said I had a surprise prepared for my housewarming party.
He asked if my friends were coming.
He didn't have to ask me that.
He put a lot of pressure on me.
You're good on TV.
You made it sound like it really happened.
Very impressive. Your 12 years of TV experience is impressive.
Your 12 years of TV experience is impressive.
(Good game, Hangzoo)
I just lost. I surrender.
Let's help each other out.
(I'm still friends with Ha:tfelt)
Let's look at the second resume.
The man that brings happiness. Hangzoo.
You won "Challenge 1,000 Songs?"
That's right.
You won that show?
I won with Simon D.
Honestly. You saw me earlier. I know a lot of K-Pop songs.
What song did you win with?
"The Girl I Suddenly Ran Into?"
It was "Last Match."
Kim Min Kyo's song.
"Last Match."
(They start singing the song)
(Everyone can sing along to "Last Match")
Yes, that's right.
♪ The drama with Jang Dong Gun and Sim Eun Ha ♪
♪ And Son Ji Chang ♪
♪ The basketball drama ♪
I sang that.
Let's check if he really did win.
You have to sing the songs we play at random
without making any mistakes.
I'll punch in a random number.
You're really pressing them randomly.
I don't think he can sing this one.
(Hangzoo's fate is in Shin Young's hands)
I think I'll lose.
Okay.
(Their faces say they're nervous about the song)
This is a tough one.
(Picks a different one)
Okay.
(I don't think I can do that one either...)
Why do I have to be so cautious when putting a song in?
He's making me really wary.
(She tries picking another one...)
- Okay. - This is a great song.
He has to sing it without looking at the lyrics, right?
Without looking.
I think I'll know just by hearing the intro.
(Totally ready)
(This is so easy)
("Love and Friendship" by Oh Tae Ho)
Do you remember this song?
Cho Jang Hyuck's "Addictive Love."
This really takes me back.
(It's a sentimental song for them)
♪ All of my love ♪
♪ The way you look when you push back your hair ♪
(Hangzoo, that's the wrong song...)
(He changes the song shamelessly)
(What's he doing?)
(You fail)
The song was "Love and Friendship."
But it became "My Love By My Side."
Did the name of the song change?
(Shameless)
You sang so well that I wanted to let you finish.
Yeah.
His sense of fashion.
He wrote that besides Crush and Ye Eun, he's the best dresser.
You should be able to tell.
I didn't want to cause you guys trouble, so I covered the logo.
(The best two dressers just laugh)
Those who know will know.
- Prada, Prada! - The upside-down triangle.
The brand that fashionistas carry.
Prada!
Those that aren't that fashionable leave this part bare.
Bare. I haven't heard that in a while.
- But mine is studded. - Right.
(I have studs)
Geegooin and Boi B, do you agree?
Well... I like my outfit better.
You're wearing all navy blue with an accent.
I love that look.
Normally, Hangzoo does dress pretty nice.
But I don't want to lose to him today.
I have to give my vote to Boi B today.
I want to be the best-dressed one today.
He's the trendiest guy in Ilsan.
The trendiest guy in Ilsan...
I feel like going to the La Festa with Boi B today.
(Agreed!)
Let's look at Geegooin's resume next.
His chemistry with the others...
"To me Boi B is Cha In Pyo."
Yup.
On Instagram...
There are two people on social media that I want to be like.
It's Choi Su Jong and Cha In Pyo.
The hashtag is kind yet influential.
They're very manly and family-oriented,
which he strives to be like.
He's very sweet.
Kind yet influential...
And there's another hashtag. Helpful husband.
Helpful husband and kind yet influential.
Now it's Boi B.
It's Boi B.
Such cute handwriting.
Yeah, it's very nice.
He wrote that to him Crush is "Thank you, thank you."
That's right. That's Crush.
This is for real.
I thought about this while writing that.
He was featured on two of our songs.
And we didn't even get him any gifts for that.
I really wanted to say this.
He wrote "Stupid Love" for us when we were really struggling.
He was even featured on the song.
We hadn't released the song yet
and it almost went to another singer.
But Crush insisted that it's ours since he worked with us on it.
And we were paid for the song. Crush called and said
that he wouldn't accept payment from us for this song.
We're really thankful for him.
A nice story about Crush.
Let's look at his mind map. There's Rhythm Power's album.
The Arsenals and Korean soccer.
A way to contact Neymar.
You have a lot of soccer on your mind.
You're a big fan of Neymar?
- I love soccer. - Me too.
I'm coming out with a song soon.
The song is called "Neymar."
I feel like if Neymar posts a clip of himself
bobbing his head to my song on social media
my goal for this year will be realized.
So for Boi B who loves the soccer player Neymar...
We prepared...
(Just let us finish first, Boi B...)
This isn't a joke. We have a special guest.
He's playing in the World Cup now.
He's at Russia now.
MBC Sports.
Really?
We contacted them and asked for a huge favor...
Asked for a huge favor...
We'll get Neymar on the phone.
That's why I'm holding this.
No way!
- Really? - This is not a joke, people.
Use this phone to call.
(Stirred up)
This must be for real.
(This is real... My goodness)
See? MBC Sports.
MBC Sports. Did you see?
- This is for real. - We have an interpreter ready too.
We have an interpreter.
I just got the chills.
(He's about to cry)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm an interpreter.
Hello.
This show is amazing!
We only have 5 minutes.
This is impossible!
It's Neymar.
Where's my phone?
I have the song on my phone.
(Trying to call Neymar)
Hello?
(Nervous)
Hello?
- Hello? - Hello?
You should talk to Boi B, the Korean singer.
[Kocowa Ver] E362 Weekly Idol "A.C.E (except Chan) & Amoeba Culture Family" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
He said he's Brazilian soccer player Neymar.
No way!
- That's not his voice. - This isn't him.
Just talk to him.
Is he really Neymar?
(Yes, that's right, I'm rooting for Neymar)
(Just like you, Boi B of Rhythm power)
He says of course he is and he listens to your music sometimes.
(Oh... They got me...)
I'm a Korean person from Incheon.
And Incheon has a soccer club called Incheon United.
Ask him if he can play a charity match for Incheon United.
(Stop it)
(These two already realized that this is a prank)
This situation is so funny!
He could just be a guy named Neymar.
Neymar.
Neymar?
(Now they can't turn back...)
I hear Neymar laughing.
(A big laugh from Neymar)
I'll play the song for him.
I feel like he can understand us.
Hold on.
I think he's Korean.
I'll play the song "Neymar."
(Would you like to hear the song now?)
(Yes, of course!)
He said of course.
Then I'll play it for you. Carlos, I'm playing the song now.
Carlos.
(It's fluent Korean speaking TV personality from Brazil, Carlos Gorito)
Hello!
He knew it was you, Carlos.
You should've tried to sound more like Neymar.
I tried to sound like Neymar, but our voices are so different.
Their voices are so different.
When you were making the call...
I got the cold sweats.
(Sorry for this scarring moment...)
This is impossible!
Thank you for waiting until late at night for the call.
Thank you.
And thank you to Park Ye Ni for interpreting.
Thank you.
The fifth resume is Crush's.
His nickname is Crong.
He really does look like Crong.
For Crong... Gaeko has a son named Tae U.
When Tae U first saw me, he said I looked like Crong. The nickname stuck.
You really do look like him.
(He even does an impression of Crong)
(A lovely Crush Crong)
He's good.
Very nice.
Top 3 in royalties.
"Don't Forget," "Oasis," and "Fall."
You can sing a bit of those songs here.
Do I get paid? I'll sing if I get paid.
How about a part-time gig?
Yeah? Alright...
(He's good at going along with the jokes)
That was rude of us. Can you sing "Beautiful"?
Sure.
"Beautiful."
I prefer singing it acapella.
Really?
(This is where we can enjoy ourselves)
(Crush will sing "Beautiful" acapella)
("Beautiful" by Crush)
(Even the first line makes your heart race)
(Crush's sweet voice is a treat for the ears...)
(He's melting our hearts with his voice)
♪ Stay with me ♪
(Getting into it)
(Every day with Crush's singing is a good day...)
Thank you.
That was great.
I melted.
Okay, okay.
If I only had a sprinkler...
(Crush's embarrassing past)
And what you want to say to your bosses.
"My contract is ending soon."
His contract is ending soon?
That could make their hearts drop.
"My contract is ending soon."
Now the puzzle pieces all fit.
- So that's why they were kneeling. - And he went to Jeju-do.
It's not like that.
We had to do something.
We're hoping that Crush renews his contract with Dynamic Duo.
So we'll give him time to talk to his bosses.
Dynamic Duo is uneasy every day.
- Why? - As each day passes...
The day for the big talk approaches.
- That's how CEOs feel. - Right.
(He seems super calm)
Hello?
(Sweet)
Hello?
Talk about what you told us.
So we did these self-written resumes.
In the space where we write a message to you guys,
I wrote this to be funny.
My contract is ending soon." With a smiling emoji.
Oh, boy...
(He sounds flustered)
Hello? Gaeko, it's Se Yoon.
Who? Oh, Se Yoon.
So how are negotiations going with Crush?
What happened to Hyung Don and Defconn?
(He suddenly brings up the past hosts)
They're doing "Idol Room" now. It's a big hit.
So they made a new show.
So are negotiations with Crushing going okay?
I'd like him to stay with us.
I've told him this several times.
I really need Crush.
Was that why you guys were on your knees at Jeju-do?
You and Choiza were kneeling to talk to him.
Se Yoon told everyone.
(This is unrelated to him)
So that's when you got on your knees and licked Crush's shoes?
(He licked Crush's shoes?)
(Such a gutsy question from Se Yoon)
How could you tell them that?
His shoes did seem very shiny that day.
I cleaned those shoes.
(LOL)
Gaeko, thank you for taking this call at this late hour.
- You're going to hang up on me already? - Yes.
I think we got everything.
Right after saying that I licked his shoes clean?
That's all we needed.
Thank you.
I'm sure this will be edited.
Yeah, probably.
Alright. I'll call you back later, Gaeko.
- Alright. - Thank you.
(We thank Gaeko for taking the sudden call)
It's the highlight of the Amoeba work party.
Time to win up to $2,000 in prizes from your bosses.
The final battle!
This is an individual battle.
If you win a game, you can pick one of the credit cards
and spend up to $2,000.
We can really spend $2,000?
For real.
I can buy a computer or something like that?
Anything you want.
Your limit is $2,000.
What do you want to buy?
Me?
At my house...
Go ahead.
- I want an open-air spa. - An open-air spa!
I'd like the money in cash...
And I'll donate it to charity.
You'll donate it to charity?
Donate?
- So generous. - Impressive.
- How about Hangzoo? - Kind yet influential.
Crush said he'd donate his winnings.
Hangzoo is all about resisting.
For me...
My credit card bill...
You'll pay it off?
I'll use it for my credit card bill.
Nice.
And Geegooin?
I want to donate a laptop to my room.
A laptop donation for your room.
How generous.
I want the same vacuum cleaner Dynamic Duo got for Ye Eun.
I'll buy that for myself.
Why do you want that vacuum cleaner?
Since they didn't give us any gifts when we moved.
You're giving yourself housewarming gifts.
Alright, so Dynamic Duo is a part of this too.
It's a crapshoot.
Let me tell you about the final battle.
With the aprons we give you...
Let's pass out the aprons.
You'll throw your body forward and blow the candles out with your apron.
It's a simple yet fun game.
(They get it now)
- I've never tried this before. - It's fun.
I feel like a real celebrity now.
They used to play games like this on old variety shows.
I saw this game on TV.
We're giving you the star treatment.
- From those old variety shows. - Right.
Back when "Infinite Challenge" was called "Reckless Challenge."
It's kind of like that.
Nobody knows how to put an apron on.
- How do you put this on? - Don't you do the dishes at home?
(Ye Eun has to help)
Your head goes through here.
(She's like a kindergarten teacher)
This is really hard.
How about a game to take that off? It's like a dress.
- Boi B, you have to put it on to play. - I've got it on.
You have to get it on to play.
I feel like a celebrity now.
Who's second?
- Show us! - Boi B.
But the order...
They're so serious now.
I'm a celebrity now.
Because metals and diamonds
can weigh down this side.
Right, that's true.
That resistance. It's that same attitude.
Yes.
(Wait for me, my babies)
He kissed it.
I guess that bracelet and ring are meaningful.
(Bling, bling)
(The game for the prize money starts)
(The first one is Hangzoo)
Let's go, Mr. Celebrity!
- Ready! - Hangzoo.
(The first one to try is Hangzoo)
(Why are they so nervous over this?)
(How many will tough guy Hangzoo get?)
Hangzoo.
(Hangzoo got 6)
6! 2, 4, 6!
(Not satisfied...)
- Perfectly down the middle. - He did well.
Look at that.
I thought he was a frog. He fell like this.
I used a judo fall.
(Like this)
You got 6.
Hangzoo got 6.
(This isn't as easy as it looks)
That was a great record.
- Boi B. - Show us.
- I can't get this off. - Boi B the hiker.
The kind man, Boi B.
Kind yet influential.
Geegooin's Cha In Pyo.
- The hiker. - The celebrity world is tough.
(Fly, Boi B!)
(He falls gently)
(He tries to blow one out with his mouth)
How many is that?
- 4. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
4.
The hiker got 4.
This isn't easy.
(Next is Geegooin of Rhythm Power)
Geegooin!
(Doing taekkyeon moves)
Those taekkyeon steps.
(Does a kick)
(He wants to take a running start)
You're all doing it wrong.
Think about it scientifically.
With more of a running start, I'll have more momentum.
He's quite educated.
Here we go.
Hold on!
(Hold on!)
Hold on!
Are you okay?
- Geegooin. - Your glasses.
(He loses his glasses and the prize money)
2.
You should've taken your glasses off.
He just lost his chance at $2,000.
Two candles just like the two lenses in his glasses.
I think his lenses blew the candles out.
His glasses blew them out.
You blew two out with your glasses.
Like this.
(Embarrassed...)
This guy's really athletic.
Hangzoo is in first.
- Hangzoo got 6. - An amazing record.
Boi B got 4 and Geegooin got 2.
Ready...
(I have to pay my credit card bill...)
(Crush jumps up)
(It's a pretty good jump)
(What will happen?)
Crush.
- 4. - Tied.
Tied with Boi B. Boi B and Crush got 4.
Currently, Hangzoo...
(He's closer to the prize money)
He's the top guy!
Hangzoo.
(A happy judo roll)
(The thought of winning the money gets him excited)
A judo roll.
That was like special forces martial arts.
Now it's Ye Eun who looks like she has something on her mind.
Ye Eun works out a lot.
I'm pretty lucky about winning stuff on TV.
(She takes her shoes off)
(I'm going to get an open-air spa!)
Let's go.
Okay, okay.
(Stretching and cracking)
(Wow, a celebrity is warming up!)
(Girl crush)
A girl crush.
(The last one to go is Ha:tfelt)
(Flap)
(Heart attack)
Use that wind.
- You have to snap your wrists. - She can do it.
I saw her snap her wrists.
Ready!
(She finally flies!)
(Nervous)
(Ha:tfelt gets 6)
2, 4, 6. 6!
(Hangzoo and Ha:tfelt are tied for 1st)
- Tied at 6. - Wow!
6. It's a rematch.
Hangzoo versus Ha:tfelt.
(Yahoo)
You're good!
- It's not my first time in an apron! - Right.
Tied at 6.
He started taking off his accessories.
Take them all off. All your earrings and jewelry.
(Taking his bracelet off)
Hangzoo has started to remove his jewelry.
(It's like a ceremony before the final match)
Ready...
Let's make this a real match.
I know you wouldn't want me to go easy on you.
- Of course. - I agree.
(They promise to play fair)
Victory, man.
Ha:tfelt wants an open-air spa.
And Hangzoo wants to pay off some of his credit card bill.
Hangzoo.
(The first one to go in the finals is Hangzoo)
(So determined to pay his credit card bill)
- Here I go. - Go ahead.
(Nervous)
(He has the right athletic body to blow out candles)
(How many will Hangzoo get?)
He got 4!
(That was disappointing...)
This means...
Ha:tfelt has a good chance to win this.
(Sigh... Please...)
(She's so relaxed)
This means... Ha:tfelt!
Her feet are already in that open-air spa.
(I'm going to get that open-air spa!)
- Ready. - Ready!
(The second one to go in the finals is Ha:tfelt)
(Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee)
(Who will win the cash prize?)
(Please, God...)
(Who will win the cash prize?)
6!
She wins! Ha:tfelt wins with 6!
(How nice)
6 to 4.
You can pick one of the cards. Choiza's or Gaeko's.
Remove one of the credit cards from their foreheads.
(Grabs)
My bad, Gaeko.
Oh, boy...
Oops...
(A total mess)
How could you do that to your friend?
He actually looks better like that.
(He suddenly got better-looking)
He said he looks better like that.
(Fixing up Gaeko)
You're so tall.
I'll pick one like this.
Whose card will she use for the $2,000?
Whose card do you want to pick?
Gaeko got me a vacuum cleaner recently.
So Choiza's card?
I don't want him to spend $2,000 on top of that...
It's up to fate.
I'm holding the credit cards behind you.
That one? That one?
Eenie meenie miney mo. Catch a tiger by the toe...
If he hollers let him go...
(I wish I was picking a card!)
Eenie meenie miney mo.
That one!
It's Choi Jae Ho!
Choiza's credit card!
(As long as it isn't me!)
We had Amoeba Culture Family on the show. Tell us your thoughts.
I got to see the Rhythm Power guys sing.
And I got to see Crush sing "Probation."
It was a very meaningful day.
How about you, Crush?
I had a lot of fun being with my label-mates today.
Geegooin?
As I mentioned earlier, playing the candle game
made me feel more like a celebrity.
Boi B.
I woke up this morning and it felt cold.
He's repeating himself.
I thought I caught a cold.
After being here I feel all better. Thank you.
He's been wearing that outfit for the entire shoot.
And I got to talk to Neymar.
It suits your music style.
He got to talk to Carlos pretending to be Neymar.
Hangzoo.
We're big fans of the hosts here.
So I'd like us all to take a group photo.
- We'd like that. - We'd be thankful.
Of course we'll take one.
- Thank you so much. I had fun. -Thank you.
- Whether it's here... - Or there...
In the end... Weekly Idol!
(We thank Amoeba Culture for having so much fun here...)
The Idol of the Week was chosen by fans for the first time on our show.
The first group chosen by the fans.
It's Golden Child!
(How are they so cute?)
(They're here to give their fans heart attacks!)

(What will happen to these guys?)
(Bam bam bam)
