2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
Let's start the championships!
(The 2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships starts now.)
(Track and field, 60m)
We're at the Incheon Samsan World Gymnasium,
where the 60m track and field dash will be held.
This year as usual, the symbol of track and field in Idol Star...
and the current commentator of track and field in MBC,
Commentator Yoon Yeo Choon, is here. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
- Happy New Year. - Thank you.
If I win...
I'd be happy if you could treat barbecue...
to all of us, IZ ONE!
(A happy wish that will bring joy)
I got an autograph...
from the living legend of track and field, Usain Bolt.
He kindly wrote it in Korean so that I can do well.
(A witty joke that will give laughter)
(It's all coming to you...)
(with the sound of the starter gun.)
We will start...
the final 60m women's race.
(Ji Won of Cherry Bullet, Yeon Jeong of Holics, J-Sun of S.I.S,)
(Lee Na Gyung of fromis_9, Kwon Eun Bi of IZ ONE, An Yu Jin of IZ ONE)
It's the final 60m.
IZ ONE comes strong.
2 members moved on to the final on their 1st competition.
- Commentator Yoon. - Yes.
Who's a strong winner?
I think Na Gyung in lane four...
- will win the gold medal. - Yes.
J-Sun in lane three...
will be a dark horse.
Sana, who do you think will come in the first place?
I think Eun Bi will.
- Eun Bi. - Yes.
Her eyes looked very intense when she was running earlier.
Ready.
(Who's the strongest player in 2019's women's track and field?)
Please pay attention to lane 3 and lane 4.
He said to focus on lane 3 and lane 4.
I can feel the tension.
Get set.
They're off!
Na Gyung, Na Gyung, Na Gyung!
They're off!
(Na Gyung in lane 4 is coming forward.)
Na Gyung is fast.
- Run! - Na Gyung, Na Gyung!
Na Gyung, Na Gyung!
Lane two Yeon Jeong is coming up.
(Yeong Jeong suddenly leads on.)
(What's the result?)
I think Yeon Jeong came in first.
What happened?
- Yeon Jeong's start was late. - It was pretty late.
She was in lane two.
Na Gyung was leading at this moment.
However, Yeon Jeong began to lead in the middle of the race.
It's Yeon Jeong.
(Yeon Jeong of Holics wins the gold medal.)
- No one mentioned her. - Right.
Yeon Jeong of Holics wins the gold medal.
- How can this happen? - Na Gyung wins the silver medal.
J-Sun gets the bronze medal.
- She marked 9.14 seconds. - It's amazing.
Na Gyung came in 9.23 seconds.
J-Sun came in 9.28 seconds.
(Congratulations to Yeon Jeong for winning the gold medal.)
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
(Thank you)
We will start...
the final 60m men's race.
(Young Woong, Lee Jang Jun, Y, Ha Young, Je Up, Nam Yun Sung)
(Y took the gold medal in track and field at 2018's Chuseok Special.)
(Will Y win the gold medal again?)
Ready.
(Or will a rookie break out in revolt?)
(The outcome will be determined in only 7 seconds.)
(Who will be the fastest man?)
(Everyone is holding their breath.)
Get set.
They're off!
Ha Young!
(The champion of the previous season takes the lead.)
Jang Jun! No, Y is fast.
- NOIR, NOIR! - NOIR, NOIR!
(Surprised)
(They can't tell who came in 1st.)
NOIR!
He dashed across at the last moment.
- We don't have the record yet. - We don't know yet.
We don't know who won yet.
To find out the color of the medal,
we need to replay the video.
NOIR made a spurt at the last moment and that was very nice.
You're right.
Y made the quickest start.
Y was leading...
but NOIR caught him up as he made a spurt at the last moment.
Yes, almost at the finish line.
Gosh, this is...
I guess we need to replay it in splits of one out of 1,000ths.
Let's watch it again.
- Well... - Well...
Who is it?
- It's Y. - Is it Y?
Yes. Y and...
Yun Sung of NOIR made a slight difference.
You're right.
It's different by 0.01 seconds.
Y of Golden Child, with a record of 7.52 seconds...
takes the gold medal.
He's a defending champion.
However, a scary challenger appeared.
Yun Sung of NOIR takes the silver medal...
with the record of 7.53 seconds.
A member in the same band with him, Jang Jun of Golden Child...
takes third place and the bronze medal.
(Y and Jang Jun of Golden Child sweep the medals.)
We showed all final 60m races...
for men and women in track and field.
(Bowling)
It's the 2019 New Year Special, Idol Star Athletics Championships.
We'll start the men's bowling match.
We have Kim Shin Young here especially for the men's game.
She's entering the women's game this year as well.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm an idol who loves bowling, Yura.
I'm Kim Jung Hyun, here for the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
Hello, I'm Commentator Choi Min Hyuk.
2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
I heard there's a change in the men's bowling games.
That's right. The men's bowling game this time...
is not a team event, but an individual match.
It's called Current Frame Scoring.
A strike is 30 points.
If it's a spare, for example,
if you score 9 pins with the 1st throw and get a spare...
it'll be 19 points. Points are added straightforwardly.
We're looking forward to a fierce match in men's bowling.
It starts now!
It's the first preliminary match in men's bowling.
The players are getting ready.
The genius in looks and bowling is back.
It's Cha Eun Woo of ASTRO.
His handsome face is about to rip off the screen.
He looks fabulous.
He dreams to be the bowling rookie in the Idol Star Championships.
A free-spirited soul,
Bobby of iKON!
He looks very free-spirited.
Right.
He's a player who has no data in idol bowling games...
- at all. - Right.
Since we do not know anything about his records...
he'll be today's most unpredictable player.
- He could be a surprising rival. - Yes.
I'm looking forward to the match very much.
There are other members of ASTRO here.
That's right. Reliable Rocky is here.
Please tell us Eun Woo's strength.
His bowling ball is handsome too.
Even his bowling ball is handsome?
Well... Bobby.
Bobby? All right.
I don't feel lonely at all.
He doesn't feel lonely at all.
I think enjoying the game is important today.
"Enjoying the game."
- He'll enjoy the game. - Enjoy the game.
I won't get nervous and play bowling well today.
Good. He says he will enjoy the game.
- He's a free soul. - He's a free soul, indeed.
(Cha Eun Woo of ASTRO versus Bobby of iKON)
(The first preliminary match in men's bowling starts.)
It's a match between a free soul and a model student.
Right. Regardless of the outcome, game manners also count.
Bobby throws the ball first.
Here he goes. Bobby!
- Well... - There he goes.
The ball is strong. It's strong.
Perfect!
(Good job)
- It's nice. - Bobby!
Wait a minute. You know...
There was no step.
There was no step. No step.
There was a step, about three steps.
All right.
His posture is very hip.
People will follow him.
People will follow his posture. He just throws the ball.
He throws it hard.
- Even after he throws it... - He looks free-spirited.
- He's swaggering. - Yes, he has swag.
He's so chic.
Now he needs to get a spare.
He doesn't look nervous at all.
- Going for a spare. - He's blowing a whistle.
He's blowing a whistle.
It's falling in the gutter.
Is it falling in the gutter?
(Unfortunately, it falls in the gutter.)
- All right. - Still, he's amazing.
He's putting up a good fight now.
What's unique about him...
is that his posture changed from when he threw first...
- and when he got a spare. - They were different.
- You know... - He rolled the ball for the spare.
I can see why the fun is guaranteed for this game.
I guess he's going to change his posture every time.
- Now, it's Eun Woo's turn. - It's his first throw.
He got the silver medal in the previous season.
It was nice.
And?
(He knocks down 8 pins.)
- He looks stable. - His play is stable.
He knocks down 8 pins.
The first throw was a warm-up.
After the warm-up, he will soon show his skills.
- All right. - Okay.
- His face is smaller than the ball. - Here he goes.
There he goes!
It's nice. It's nice. Yes.
- A silver medalist indeed. - I knew it.
Eun Woo succeeds in getting a spare from the first frame.
I thought he just looked handsome,
but he's also good at playing bowling. Isn't it unfair?
He's a genius in both. A Double Genius.
- Here's Bobby. - Everyone's eyes are on him.
He's not nervous at all. He doesn't care.
- He only concentrates on himself. - He goes.
It's nice.
He didn't throw it well.
It fell in the gutter.
It was almost two steps this time.
It was 3 steps earlier, and 2 steps this time.
He's enjoying the game, so it's okay.
- Enjoying it is all that matters. - You're right.
- He's blowing a whistle. - A whistle.
Great.
(7 pins)
- He looks free. - He's free-spirited.
Why does it look so funny when he whistles?
He has a nice vibe.
- It could be his own habit. - Right.
Yes.
(Bobby throws the ball blowing a whistle.)
- Let's go! - I have a good feeling about this.
(Loud cheering from ASTRO's fans)
He said "Okay."
He's very competitive.
- Here's his 2nd frame. - In 4 steps.
- Nice. - He bowled well.
The last one...
There's just one left.
- He did it well. - Yes, he was very stable.
But it doesn't seem too difficult to get a spare.
It's what I mentioned before.
- It’s the seventh pin. - Here it goes.
- Oh, seven... - Will he make it?
(He fails to get a spare.)
It’s okay.
Knocking the seventh pin looks easy, so people easily lose focus.
Now, then...
It's Bobby's turn.
Bobby actually made Eun Woo nervous.
- Yes. - Okay, Bobby.
- He goes with another whistle. - Here we go.
He made it well.
Bobby's not bad at all.
The ball is a free soul like him.
It's instinctive.
Let’s go for the spare with another whistle.
He bowled the ball well.
- The ball is moving well. - It's coming.
(Spare)
- What is this? - The free soul!
It was well bowled.
It was a good one.
He bowled a difficult spare.
- We have to see this again. - It was going straight.
I’ve never seen someone bowl like him.
I think Bobby...
is making Eun Woo nervous.
He is making him nervous.
He probably didn't plan it out, but it's working.
This is Eun Woo’s third frame.
- Cha Eun Woo! - Relax!
The ball goes steadily ahead.
(7 pins)
- This one's hard. - We can say...
that Bobby really made Eun Woo nervous.
Now for this one, you have to barely brush the fifth pin...
and bowl the ball hard.
But usually only two pins get knocked down.
- Yes. - First, let’s see how it goes.
- If he makes this... - It seems like a good move.
- Only two pins? - This frame...
- I knew it. - Yes, only two pins as we expected.
Are you the prophet Nostradamus?
Normally only two pins are knocked down in such case.
- Now... - So far, after the third frame...
it’s 36 to 34. It's a very tight game.
We totally didn’t expect this.
It's an intense match.
Will the perfectionist win? Or the free soul win?
- Yes. - One will win.
Is it the model student? Or the free soul?
- It's not easy to predict. - He threw it.
- Bobby! - Bobby!
The ball went straight.
(It went straight ahead!)
(Yes)
In my opinion...
his moves may seem effortless,
- but he's actually planning it out. - It's not.
- He is a genius. - Yes, he is a genius.
There is a typical bowling style.
But Bobby kept practicing.
And he found his own comfortable position.
So he made his own style.
- He's full of charms. - Yes.
- Strike! - Strike!
It's going.
- It was good. - It was okay.
Good.
He can be in a calendar.
We got an editorial photo for calendars right there.
(He had a perfect pose, but the ball was shaking.)
- That was a difficult one. - A hard one.
Did you expect this?
It's consistent.
(This is not the end.)
- The ball went in the gutter. - Into the gutter.
He's keeping it steady.
This is good one.
(He makes up with a strike.)
- Good. - Nice.
His posture right now was the best.
He didn't fall behind Bobby.
Eun Woo got back to his own game by keeping things cool.
He rebounds quickly.
There are only three frames left.
The score is 92 to 60.
Eun Woo is 32 points ahead.
But in bowling, it's all about the 8, 9, 10 frames.
- A turnover can happen. - Yes, indeed.
To be honest, I think there will be a strike.
Yes. If Bobby can get at least one strike...
in the 8th or 9th frame,
it could come close to a tie score.
Yes. He did it pretty well before...
- He asks people to stop cheering. - He's saying "Stop".
Let's see how many steps he takes.
- I hope he doesn’t slip. - 1, 2, 3 steps.
- Okay here we go. - Well?
(What will he score after receiving cheer?)
- Okay here we go. - Well?
- It's going well. - It's coming!
(Strike)
(Bobby made it.)
I expected that.
(Did I make a strike?)
What a game.
- This is insane. - Look.
This is like a drama.
- Remember what I said? - Yes, I knew it.
I knew he'd make a strike.
You guessed it so well.
He bowled a strike, but he's surprised at it.
- He's surprised at himself. - He threw it.
He bowled it hard.
The ball went straight.
(A perfect strike)
- It was a good one. - Yes, it was good.
He was surprised.
- He can't believe what he did. - "This is me."
He shows off his armpit for three minutes to celebrate.
He showed how surprised he was with his armpits.
He's feeling good.
This is the eighth frame.
He looks a little bit nervous.
- He's full on focus. - Full on focus.
Player Cha Eun Woo goes.
- It's going smoothly. - He bowled the ball.
Will he make it?
(The 5th pin stands alone.)
He misses the fifth pin a lot.
If Eun Woo fails to make a spare right now,
their score gap will only be 11 points apart.
It’s not that big of a gap at all.
- The scores can be reversed. - Yes, let's see.
How will he score?
- This frame... - I have a good feeling about this.
(He fails to get a spare.)
- What just happened? - What went wrong?
- It was a psychological warfare. - It was.
The score difference of the 2 players is only 11 points apart.
This is barely a difference.
- He can make it. - Now...
There’s a chance that Bobby will make a strike again.
- Yes. - Sure, he has no pressure.
- The score can be reversed... - He freely...
The ball is going fast.
- The score can be reversed... - He freely...
The ball is going fast.
- Will he get this? - Get it!
- It was okay. - Yes, not that bad.
If he gets a spare this is not a bad situation.
On the other hand, Eun Woo looks nervous.
This is the most exciting game ever.
- Yes. - Right.
- What a fun character. - Yes, he guarantees entertainment.
People who are watching this probably can't go to the toilet.
(The ball is freed from Bobby's hands.)
(Will he get a spare?)
- It's going. - Come on!
(Spare)
He really made a chance to turn the tables around.
Eun Woo is in a dangerous situation.
- He shouldn't get swayed by this. - Eun Woo is...
The results for this round is getting harder to predict.
Eun Woo is quite competitive.
The question is,
will he be able to keeps things under control and stay calm?
He has to get a spare on the ninth frame to win over.
Here is Cha Eun Woo.
He needs to focus.
He'll do well.
- The ball is going to the side. - And?
(8 pins)
Is this a good situation?
What strategy would you recommend here?
You should hit the 3rd pin so it can hit the 7th pin.
He should think of hitting the upper spot.
I wonder if he'll be able to hit the spot he wants.
He needs to throw his hands back higher.
- Higher, higher! - Okay, he rolled the ball.
(Will Eun Woo...)
(be able to...)
(overcome this crisis?)
He needs to throw his hands back higher.
- Higher, higher! - Okay, he rolled the ball.
(Spare)
(Eun Woo widens the score gap by getting the hard spare.)
- He didn't get swayed. - There you go.
- I knew it. - Right.
- His score is 119. - Yes. He widened the score gap.
All right. The 2 players have only 1 frame left now.
This is the last frame. Can Bobby bowl a strike again?
- A strike. - If he bowls a strike,
- the score will be reversed. - We'll have to find out.
Bobby is a difficult competitor to compete against.
- It's a power ball. - He should get at least nine pins.
(Will the bowling rookie turnover the game?)
(Or will he defend his position as a model student in bowling?)
- It's a power ball. - He should get at least nine pins.
(Who will be the winner of this game?)
- What is this? - Into the gutter!
- Oh no. - He ends the game on a clean note.
Yes, on a very clean note.
Even if he gets a spare, he'll only get 10 points.
(He swings it cool to the end.)
- Make it count! - This is the last one.
How will it go?
(7 pins)
- Seven pins. - He kept trying until the end.
Bobby finished the game with a score of 114 on his 10th frame.
Good job.
- Good job. - All right.
- This is the last one. - Nice posture.
- Here it's coming. - To the pins!
(9 pins)
- It was very close. - It's okay he did well.
Let's see if he will get a spare.
(The last spare)
- Only one pin left. - He threw the ball.
The seventh pin...
- Will it go to the corner? - It's going...
(Perfect spare)
- That was good. - Nicely done.
His score is 138 now.
Both players performed a nice game until the very last round.
Sure.
Here's the final result of the men’s first preliminary bowling match.
Eun Woo of ASTRO scored 138.
And Bobby of iKON scored 114.
Eun Woo will go to the semifinals.
- Very good. - Congratulations.
Yes, congratulations.
Show us a ceremony.
(Here comes his ceremony for his fans.)
(Shaking)
(Please wait for the Revenge Match between Chanyeol and Eun Woo,)
(the two medalists at the New Year Special in 2018.)
(Jaehyun of NCT 127 versus Mingyu of SEVENTEEN)
Players for the men's preliminary bowling match are getting ready.
How can he even be good at bowling too?
Here is Mingyu of SEVENTEEN.
(SEVENTEEN's most handsome member, Mingyu)
This is Jaehyun of NCT 127.
Mingyu is up first.
The person who goes first is always nervous.
That's right.
He bowled the ball.
It's powerful.
(Strike)
(Mingyu pressures Jaehyun hard on his first frame.)
Amazing!
(Mingyu pressures Jaehyun hard on his first frame.)
- A strike on his first frame! - It's a good start.
That was great!
Mingyu started off on a really high note.
They were both born in 1997,
- so the match is more intense. - For sure.
- NCT 127 Jaehyun's first play. - Yes.
That was awesome!
Here we go!
(So close to strike, 9 pins)
That was very stable.
It was really stable.
He's preparing for a spare.
He's very focused.
Will he score a spare?
Okay...
(A clean-cut spare)
He succeeded in scoring a spare.
- He has 19 points now. - That was a clean bowl.
- Mingyu! - Preparing for the second frame.
- Okay, Mingyu! - He rolled the ball.
Let's see, Mingyu!
That's a split.
A split!
It's a difficult one to score afterwards.
In my three years of bowling,
I've only succeeded a split once or twice.
There he goes.
He was so close.
Only if one of the pins hit the other pin.
Jaehyun from NCT 127...
is preparing for the second frame.
- A stable posture. - He's good.
Where is the ball heading?
A little to the left.
(A pin is rolling over.)
Will it reach the last pin?
Will it?
The 10th pin really won't fall.
It was so close.
The pin almost touched the last pin.
But it only barely touched it.
The 10th pin is really difficult to get.
I always hate the 10th pin, even after 3 years of bowling.
All right.
It's going the right way!
(A super rookie is born!)
That was incredible!
It was a difficult one, but Jaehyun did it!
- There he goes. - The ball is...
(Jaehyun's amazing achievements in just three weeks of learning)
Will it be a spare?
(Spare)
(Spare again)
- It has to turn. - Yes.
- The direction... - Yes!
Seven consecutive spares!
He just spares every time!
- He's a spare machine. - 100 percent spare.
- That's a spare ball. - He has bowled.
Good bowl.
(Mingyu tries to catch up by scoring spares too.)
There he goes!
That was great.
- Awesome. - He made it.
- It's on. - It's rolling!
(But he fails to catch up, because of another split.)
- Oh, no. - It's another hard one.
It's a difficult one.
- It's a split. - Yes, it is.
- He's saying bye to the pins. - He has given up.
- He needs to focus. - He must.
Last frame.
- Heading straight. - Let's go!
(Strike)
That was a strike!
- That's a wrap. - 173 to 144!
Mingyu from SEVENTEEN scored 144 points...
and Jaehyun of NCT 127 scored 173 points.
Jaehyun goes to the semi-finals.
(Minhyuk of MONSTA X versus Shindong of Super Junior)
Players are getting ready for the preliminary round.
With monstrous focus and strength,
this player shoots out all the bowling balls and pins.
He's Minhyuk from MONSTA X.
(A power bowler, Minhyuk of MONSTA X)
A bowling legend,
the runner-up at the 2018 Chuseok Special.
The father of all idols, Shindong of Super Junior!
He kissed his bowling ball.
Great.
He has so many foreigner fans.
- You're right! - Fans from all over the world.
- Of course, he's Super Junior. - What a global star.
First frame. Minhyuk of MONSTA X.
He's preparing for the first bowl.
Yes.
First frame.
- Is it going straight? - That was a good one.
It goes straight in!
That was a powerful throw.
Minhyuk swings back a lot.
He swings back a lot and has a very stable posture.
He even stretched his arm out all the way, which is great.
I think he has the best posture I've seen so far.
It's not easy to swing back that much.
- His posture... - Right?
Spare?
That was a very clean spare.
He just did a butt dance.
He did a butt dance.
In a sense, that was him trying to be cool.
- Is that so? - Now, Shindong.
He's probably pressured.
Shindong's first frame.
Great!
That was good.
(9 pins)
- So close. - Better than before.
All right.
Compared to how he was last season,
- he's a lot smoother. - A lot more stable.
Before, whenever he threw, we could hear the ball dropping.
(He threw as if he wanted to break the lane.)
Maybe he learned from that. He's much smoother now.
- Smoothly. - Spare?
(Spare failed)
There he goes.
- Going straight in. - His teeth are clenched.
(He's far from striking.)
Shindong needs to adjust himself.
He boldly bowled outwards this time.
- He's missing a lot of spots. - Right?
I think he needs to be bolder.
He has to calm down.
He's mouthing...
that he feels pressured.
- "Stop it!" - Don't do it.
He's asking us to stop talking?
How can we not talk? We're commentators.
He needs to be a bit more understanding.
Shindong, you can do it!
(Laughs)
(Cheers from his international fans helped him ease up.)
Okay.
Awesome!
- That was great! - Strike!
He's back!
- He's catching up. - He's the one.
Minhyuk.
- There he goes. - That was smooth.
Great.
(Minhyuk bites back with a strike.)
Minhyuk the Great!
- Minhyuk the Great! - It's like Park Ji Sung's ceremony!
- He prepared for this moment! - Minhyuk the Great!
Let's shout it out.
- Minhyuk the Great! - Minhyuk the Great!
Minhyuk is heading to the semi-finals!
- Congratulations! - Congratulations.
Congratulations!
(Men's Bowling Semi-Finals Chanyeol, Eun Woo, Jaehyun, Minhyuk)
(Archery)
2019's New Year Special, Idol Star Athletics Championships.
Track and field, bowling, archery, rhythmic gymnastics and shootout.
We'll now commence the female group archery match.
I'm MBC's sports commentator...
Kim Najin.
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
It's so nice to have...
a professional sports commentator here.
My pleasure.
Here, we have an elder of the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
The lead archer in winning gold at the Atlanta Olympics,
Commentator Yoon Hye Young is again with us today.
- Welcome. - Nice to meet you!
Hello,
I'm Hye Young, the archery commentator of the show.
Happy New Year!
Before we begin,
we'll do a run-through on how it will proceed.
Unlike the official match, the Idol Star Athletics Championships...
will have the stars shoot ten times...
at both the semi-finals and finals.
The 3 players per team will each shoot 3 times...
and each team's ace player will shoot the last arrow.
We have all the teams that are known to be...
the show's symbolic archery teams.
That's right. The top three teams...
from the last Chuseok Special in 2018,
are all competing here today.
gugudan, Red Velvet and GFRIEND...
are all competing for the top.
TWICE, an experienced team, is also participating.
Sana seems a lot more excited now.
In 2017, I participated in archery...
- with Tzuyu and Dahyun. - Yes.
Today, we have Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu,
our School Lunch Trio, participating in archery.
I'm excited for this.
What do you mean by School Lunch Trio?
Those three...
were still high school students when we first debuted.
That's how they got this nickname.
- Because they ate lunch at school? - Yes.
Do you have a nickname?
- Me? - Yes.
No Sana, No Life!
Adorable.
(TWICE versus Red Velvet)
(TWICE enters.)
(Fans cheering loud)
This looks like an outfit worn in the ancient times.
Sana, can you explain to us what those outfits are?
TWICE has always participated in archery,
but we've never taken the gold home.
So this year, we decided to make our stance clear...
by winning gold or being really funny.
(The arena is getting loud again.)
Red Velvet is facing TWICE today.
This match is the most unpredictable match.
That's true.
(The last semi-final round, Red Velvet versus TWICE)
(Red Velvet's ace, Irene)
(TWICE's ace, Tzuyu)
(Irene, ace of aces, even destroyed the camera lens.)
(Red Velvet versus TWICE, who will win?)
How do you predict today's game?
Do you believe that TWICE will win?
Our team practiced so much, even with the busy schedule.
- I can't help but to cheer them on. - I see.
Leeteuk, will you cheer for Red Velvet, your family as well?
I'm just happy to watch this.
- I don't care who wins. - You don't care?
The fact that we have TWICE and Red Velvet in one screen...
is amazing enough for me. I'm thankful.
I'm also thankful for that.
The most intense rivalry of all. The highlight match.
First up, we have Wendy of Red Velvet...
and Dahyun of TWICE.
TWICE goes first.
(What will Dahyun score?)
You can do it!
- It is 5 points! - 5.
(Oh my gosh)
- Are you okay, Sana? - It's only her first shot.
I think it brushed past her left pigtail.
Although her will was strong, it is an unfortunate start.
However, Wendy has a record of scoring 0 points.
(Wendy missed the arrow and scored 0 points last season.)
Will she be able to forget the past...
and score 10 points this time?
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E01 '2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships New Year Special' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
- Her first shot... 7 points! - 7 points!
She overcame her trauma.
The crowd is going wild right now.
Now, on to Dahyun's second shot.
(Dahyun's second shooting.)
- Oh, her hair... - 6!
It keeps brushing against her hair.
I wish she would flip her left pigtail back.
Dahyun, please pull back your hair!
- She's caring her looks too much. - It seems like it.
You have to give up your looks!
Tzuyu is coming up to give her some help.
It is her second arrow.
(Wendy is able to shoot a bit more calmly.)
- Wendy, 8 points! - 8!
(Red Velvet is leading the 2nd round by 4 points.)
(Dahyun has pulled back her hair.)
Nine.
(Wendy is on the rise.)
- Wendy, 9 points! - 9!
The second players are up.
It's Yeri of Red Velvet...
and Chaeyoung of Twice.
(The 2nd player, Chaeyoung's 1st shot)
Chaeng Chaeng!
- 6! - 6 points.
Now, Yeri.
(Tottering)
(Yeri's posture is unstable.)
- 6! - She scored 6 points.
(Chaeyoung continues on and scores 8 points.)
- 8. - 8 points!
Six points.
- Six points. - It's Yeri.
- 7. - 7 points!
Now, Seulgi of Red Velvet.
And Tzuyu of TWICE.
She is the ace among aces.
Red Velvet is leading by three points.
The top ace, Tzuyu.
(Will Tzuyu be able to turn the tables?)
(Her first shooting pose is stable.)
- 9 points! - 9!
(Sana is excited.)
(Tzuyu keeps a calm face.)
Let's get it.
Tzuyu scored strong with nine points.
Will Seulgi be able to play calm?
(Will Seulgi not be swayed?)
- Seulgi, 8 points! - 8!
She scored eight points.
The gap is tightening. Only two points away.
Go, Tzuyu!
Our ace...
Her posture is so good.
- Our ace! Our ace. - Nine!
(Our ace)
Sana is showing us a lot of dances today.
Let's see the three steps of her dance.
Starting with this one. Let's start.
(Sana's 3-step dance ceremony)
The gap is tightening,
so Red Velvet is being pressured.
Seulgi.
(What will Seulgi's second score be?)
The arrow fell out. She needs to stay calm.
She needs to shoot within 20 seconds.
- She should slow down. - It fell out again...
- Did it... Did it fall out again? - Miss.
(Seulgi panicked and made a crucial mistake...)
Yes, the arrow was misplaced.
(The arrow was out of place.)
(Upset)
- Is it 0 points? - Yes, it is 0 points.
Can you shoot again if you pick up the arrow that was shot?
If it fell within three meters,
you can pick it up and shoot it right away.
TWICE is taking the lead now.
Will Tzuyu be able to keep the seven-point gap?
(Calm)
- It is 9 points. - 9!
I hope Seulgi can forget about the zero point.
(Let's forget about the past mistake...!)
- She overcame it! Good job! - Eight!
(Good job, Seulgi.)
This last shot will determine the results.
(The last round that will determine the results.)
(TWICE shouldn't put their guards down until the end.)
- It is 10 points. - Their final point is 10.
TWICE will be moving on to the finals.
Red Velvet still has a last shot left.
- 8 points. - Their final point is 8.
Eight!
Red Velvet and TWICE's match has finally come to an end.
TWICE has beaten Red Velvet by 10 points...
and advanced to the finals.
(Women's archery matches)
(TWICE makes it to the finals.)
(GFRIEND versus gugudan)
She's good at shooting nine points.
- 9! - Nine points!
- 8 points. - 8!
10 points!
(gugudan only shoots an average of 9 points.)
(The opposing team GFRIEND is a tough opponent as well.)
- It's 9 points. - 9!
- Nice shot! - It's nine points.
(GFRIEND Umji's pitiful mistake.)
- It misfired. - Did she drop it?
(GFRIEND is taken aback.)
(gugudan keeps their pace and records a total of 90 points.)
- 10! - gugudan has a great average score.
They collect 90 points.
gugudan wins the match...
- and moves on to the finals. - Congratulations.
(Women's archery matches)
(TWICE versus gugudan)
We will now start the men's team archery semifinals.
Let's continue on with the men's team archery semifinals.
It will be a pride showdown of past medalists.
It's MONSTA X versus SEVENTEEN.
(The first players, Jun versus Shownu)
MONSTA X is kicking off the game.
Shownu's arrow will be first.
(The first shot can get a head start.)
His specialty is to shoot only the same spot.
- Meaning he only shoots 10s. - That's right.
"I only know of 10 points."
- 9 points! It's 9 points. - 9 points.
He is right on.
(MONSTA X has a stable start.)
(Jun takes a careful first shot.)
Jun mentioned that he was prepared to break the camera lens.
- 9 points! - It is 9 points.
- I think we will have to check. - Yes.
10!
- It is 10 points! - 10 points!
Jun.
- It has been corrected to 10. - Wow.
- He is getting a head start. - Sure.
- It flew in a perfect trace. - Right, 10 points.
- 10 points. - 10 points.
I see it touched the line.
That's right.
Shownu's second shot!
- He scored 7 points. - It is 7 points.
(Shownu's 2nd shot scores 7 points.)
- He pulled quickly, 8 points! - 8 points.
(Jun scores 9 points.)
- 9 points! - 9 points.
His third shot.
- The last shot is 9 points. - 9 points.
SEVENTEEN is leading by four points.
Now the second archer is coming up.
Kihyun of MONSTA X has come out.
Oh, it is Kihyun next.
- It is his first time ever to play. - Oh my.
On the opposing team is Vernon of SEVENTEEN.
The score gap is four points.
(The second players, Vernon versus Kihyun)
(Stuck-out lips and raised shoulders)
He's really young.
Is that supposed to be okay?
Is it a trend to close both eyes?
- 9 points! - Oh, 9 points!
(9 points)
What a relief. That was a close one.
He was sticking out his lips,
so I thought he could get hurt and got worried at first.
If you stick out your lips too much, the bowstring can rub against it.
- You could get hurt. - Yes.
- That's an important point. - Yes.
(Ace Vernon's first shot.)
Look at his posture.
- Yes, 10 points! - 10 points!
I knew it! Vernon!
There are a lot of 10-pointers.
- I knew Vernon would make it! - For sure.
- He never gives up. - He doesn't cower.
MONSTA X's fifth shot.
It's his first ever archery match.
And he shot 9 points. Now it's his 2nd shot.
Oh, his posture...
(His posture is still unstable.)
- His lips! - He should be careful. His lips.
- He put down his shoulders, though. - Yes.
- Oh my gosh! What happened? - 10 points!
(What has happened?)
It's a 10!
How can this be explained?
It's his first archery match and he has become an ace.
That's right! An ace straight away!
- It's his first try. - This is strange.
- Vernon should not get comfortable. - The cute shot.
That's right. Vernon...
He didn't succumb to the opponent's cute shot and scored 10.
It's his second shot.
- He is stable. - Vernon!
9 points!
- 10 points? - I think it's either 9 or 10.
- I think we will have to check. - Yes.
Why are you so good?
You're good as well.
Nine.
- It is 9 points. - 9 points.
I want to see his posture again.
(Will Kihyun be able to hit a high score again?)
- His "Chu" posture. - "Chu".
Cutely.
Be cute, Kihyun.
- He put down his left shoulder. - His shoulder is down.
- He let go of it. - He shot the arrow!
Look at that!
- It's a perfect gold! - He caught up!
- It's a perfect gold! - It's a perfect gold!
- What happened?
(The arrow went right through the camera lens.)
(He broke the lens.)
(What? The lens?)
(The crowd goes wild.)
(Being bashful)
- Did he break the lens? - I think he did.
- He broke the lens. - He broke it.
I think the arrow went through the lens.
(It goes right in.)
- It penetrated the lens. - Yes, it did.
- It's totally broken. - It is.
They need to change the camera. That's okay.
At first, I thought he scored zero.
- I know. - I thought he won no point.
(Clapping)
- It came through... - This is so much fun!
- Yes, the arrow came out. - "This is so much fun!"
- Sana, this is fun, right? - "This is so much fun!"
- It's fun. - The arrow came out.
He's not just the ace of MONSTA X but the ace of all idol stars.
He's amazing.
This will make Vernon...
- more nervous. - That's right.
(Will Vernon keep himself together?)
Will he be affected by his opponent's perfect gold?
His posture is stable.
- He scored 10 points! - It's 10 points!
- He wasn't affected. - He was undaunted.
"You got 10 points? I got 10 points too."
- "I can get 10 points too." - My goodness.
(DK's play doesn't go well.)
(MONSTA X's I.M aims to turn the game around.)
The score difference remains at three points.
It's now a match between the two ace players.
(MONSTA X's last arrow)
It's the 10th arrow!
- He scores 10 points! - He scores 10 points!
Well done!
- All right! - What a great match!
What is going on? This is amazing.
But if Vernon...
scores more than eight points,
- his team will go to the finals. - That's right.
I'm not sure if I can say this,
- but I wish SEVENTEEN... - That's okay.
scores seven points.
- For another round? - Yes.
I want to see them more.
- That'd be fun too. - Yes, that would be fun.
- She meant it for fun. - That's right.
For our entertainment.
- The last arrow. - Yes.
Now, will Vernon score seven points as Sana wanted?
(If he scores 7 points, the game will be extended.)
(It's the last arrow that will decide who advances to the finals.)
This is Vernon's 10th arrow.
It's released! He scores nine points!
They made it to the finals!
It's released! He scores nine points!
(After an intense match, SEVENTEEN wins with 92 points.)
So SEVENTEEN...
sets a new record for the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
SEVENTEEN wins by two points after an intense match.
They will be advancing to the finals.
(List of matches for the men's team archery)
(SEVENTEEN makes it to the finals.)
The semifinals of the men's team archery will begin now.
(iKON versus NCT 127)
(Cupid has appeared at the arena.)
A cupid costume has made its appearance.
To leave a strong impression...
at this 2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships,
B.I thought about what to wear over many days...
and chose to wear that Cupid costume.
NCT 127 will shoot an arrow first.
- It's a great start. - He scored nine points.
(NCT 127's Mark plays next.)
Isn't he adorable?
He closed both eyes!
- He scored 9 points! - That's 9 points.
That's nine points.
He didn't waver and scored nine points.
They scored nine points consecutively.
(How many points will Cupid score?)
(Mischievous)
I'm so looking forward to this.
He even has wings on his back.
(How well will Cupid shoot his arrow?)
His posture is great.
Here goes B.I.
(5 points)
B.I.
Perhaps he focused too much on his costume and lacked practice.
(It's his second arrow.)
That was his second arrow.
(3 points)
Was that three points?
Yes, it was three points.
This is his third arrow.
- It's his 3rd arrow. - He scored 6 points.
- 6 points? - Yes, 6 points.
That's a relief though. It's double the previous points.
He's satisfied.
He managed to gain attention with his costume,
but his score was a little disappointing.
iKON has to catch up.
(Yun Hyeong has to make up for B.I.)
- He shot it. - He scored eight points.
We'll have to see if iKON can catch up.
Jin Hwan is the ace of iKON.
(iKON's third player, Kim Jin Hwan)
He scored 10 points!
"I'm the ace of my team. I'm Kim Jin Hwan."
- The ace will shoot the last arrow. - Yes.
This is the last arrow of iKON.
- The 10th arrow. - It's Song Yun Hyeong.
Yun Hyeong is known to be a perfectionist.
He's famous for that.
He closed the wrong eye.
- He closed his right eye. - That's right, he did.
- It went way over the board. - Where did it go?
He shouldn't have closed his right eye.
- What happened? - What a miss!
No matter how many times I think, I think B.I's cupid costume...
brought confusion to everyone.
That's right. NCT 127...
earns 84 points and advances...
- to the finals. - Congratulations.
- Right. - Congratulations.
(List of matches for the men's team archery)
(It's SEVENTEEN versus NCT 127.)
(This will make you forget about the intense archery matches.)
(Do you like the scent of coffee?)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for the coffee.
(It's so aromatic.)
- Enjoy your coffee. - Thank you.
- Thank you.
(Bowling)
(Men's Bowling, Semifinals)
2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships.
I'm here at the bowling alley where the semifinals will take place.
Hello, I'm Kim Shin Young.
First of all, at the 2018...
Idol Star Athletics Championships' New Year Special bowling event,
Chanyeol won the gold medal. And Eun Woo won the silver medal.
Both medalists are here.
(Chanyeol showed his excellent bowling skills last year.)
(Eun Wo also showed off his skills,)
(but Chanyeol won the gold medal by a narrow point.)
This is a rematch.
Aren't you nervous?
- I'm really nervous. - I see.
How do you feel?
I want to win.
He wants to win.
Great. As we get closer to the end,
the alley is getting hotter.
It feels like summer here.
We're in the middle of a festival.
Thank you.
