It's the perfect boy group, SF9.

We'll do our best today. Please wish us good luck!
(The main MC, Dahyun, appeared.)
I have been selected as the MC...
once again since the last Chuseok Special.
I'll do my best with other MCs.
Look at her pose. That's very unusual.
(The joyful and emotional 2020 Idol Championships is about to begin!)
Hello, everyone.

New Year Special,
where only the top idols and fans from the country can participate.
We are now at Namdong Gymnasium in Incheon.

This is my eighth year as the MC. I am becoming a fossil.
My name is MC Jun Hyun Moo.
Hello, my name is Dahyun from TWICE.
Well, Dahyun,
you are also becoming a legend in this Athletics Championships.
I was also an MC during last year's Chuseok Special.
It received many positive responses.
(Dahyun was not reluctant to favor her fellow JYP friends.)
(Of course, Stray Kids!)
- JYP! - JYP.
(They are in the same company as TWICE.)
(Please look forward to Dahyun's spectacular performance as an MC.)
The 2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships New Year Special...
is a popular program watched by families during the holidays.
What events do we have today?
- Please share them with us. - In today's Championships,
we have the most representative event, track and field,
the very popular sport, archery,
and everyone's favorite,
the penalty shootout.
Of course, we also have ssireum, a traditional sport for the holiday.
We also have pitching, which was a demonstration sport last year,
but it has now become an official event this year.
We also have e-sports and horseback riding...
that attracted a lot of attention last year.
You'll be able to enjoy a variety of events exclusive to this show.
I heard there is a special performance to celebrate...
the 2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships New Year Special.
Yes. We have the performance experts, UV...
- I see. - Do you know Han Ki Bum?
- I do. - How do you know him?
It tickled me! It tickled me!
What is that?
He's known for his resemblance to Lee Kwang Soo.
- His resemblance to Lee Kwang Soo? - Yes.
A big mosquito bit my foot!
It was really itchy
A big mosquito bit my foot!
He used to be a professional basketball player.
Was he?
Did you think he was a comedian?
- I had it wrong. - It's not a problem.
Anyway, along with our national center,
Han Ki Bum,
UV will perform our national warm-up exercise.
Please come out to the stage.
We'll start by walking in place.
(Muzie, Han Ki Bum, Yoo Se Yoon)
(One, two)
(What is this?)
First, arm exercise. Let's go!
(UV arranged our national warm-up exercise song into an EDM song.)
(Floundering)
Leg exercise!

Who is it? It's Zuho.
Lift your arms up, then make a circle

Chest exercise!
Push out your chest as much as you can

You are with the 2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships...

To mark the new year, should we bow to our viewers?
- Sounds like a good idea. - We can do this.
In the Year of the Rat,
- Happy New Lunar Year, everyone! - Happy New Lunar Year!
Thank you, everyone. Happy New Lunar Year!
Everyone, please give them a big round of applause.
(Stay tuned to receive your gifts!)
(Magpie's new year's day...)
(was yesterday.)
(The Idol Star Athletics Championships...)
(is today.)
2020 has begun.
We practiced a lot, but we still couldn't do a good job.
The first event of Idol Star Athletics Championships...
is the 60m sprint.
There's someone who's in every championship...
full of curses.
It's Yoon Yeo Chun. Welcome!
- Hello. - Hello.
I am Yoon Yeo Chun, the track and field commentator.
(He was known for his notorious curse.)
(Every player he picks will lose the game.)
(They'd fall...)
(or fail to show their best performance.)
(They even lose right before the finish line!)
(It's Yoon Yeo Chun's notorious curse.)
(Will his curse continue today?)
We talk about Yoon Yeo Chun's curse every year.
- It'll be different this year? - Yes.
Goodness.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's Leeteuk! - Yes.
I just got back after my tour in Southeast Asia.
I'm Leeteuk from Super Junior.
Did you wake up late?
Hello, everyone.
It's Leeteuk, the big brother of idols.
(Leeteuk is very quick-witted.)
Please pay attention to see...
if Yoon Yeo Chun's curse will continue this year as well.
- I said that already. - Really?
Please explain the rules of the 60m sprint in detail.
Yes. There will be four groups.
Each group will have six participants.
The four who finish at the top of their group...
will be eligible to move to the next round.
Among the 4 runners who finished 2nd in each group,
the top two will be selected based on their records.
There will be six finalists.
Lastly, since the Idol Star Athletics Championships...
aim for an injury-free game,
we always have medical staff and medical equipment...
ready to help the athletes at any given time.
Always watch for your safety.
(Track and field)
We will soon begin the Women's 60m preliminaries.
The race will begin now.
Group One will now run the Women's 60m preliminaries.
In lane one is Yunkyung from Rocket Punch.
In lane two is Lee Jin Sol from April.
In lane three is Luda from WJSN.
In lane four is Ji Won from Cherry Bullet.
In lane five is Olivia Hye from LOONA.
In lane six is Saebom from NATURE.
This is Group One.
We have the prettiest member from each group.
- Right. - Right.
- Mr. Yoon. - Yes.
What are your thoughts?
We have Ji Won from Cherry Bullet...
- in lane four right now. - Yes.
She was in the finals for both last year's New Year...
- and Chuseok Specials. - She was.
I think Ji Won will do a good job.
I feel sorry for her already.
Her name is being mentioned from the very beginning.
On your marks.
Let's see how Group One does.
This is the moment when I become the most nervous.
- Right. - It's a nerve-racking moment.
Unfortunately, Yoon Yeo Chun picked Ji Won.
Let's keep our eyes on lane 4 and 6.
Ready.
And they're off!
- Look at lane four. - She's very fast.
And they're off!
(Lane 4: Ji Won, Cherry Bullet)
She's a lot faster than the others.
- You're right. - I knew it.
(Lane 4: Ji Won, Cherry Bullet, Lane 3: Luda, WJSN)
(There's a huge gap.)
- She overcomes the curse. - Yes.
- My gosh. - Ji Won is fast.
She won the race very easily.
Ji Won of Cherry Bullet comes in first.
- Yes, that's right. - A track race is all about records.
- Yes. - I think she'll naturally...
- be able to reach the finals. - Very easily.
Here are the records.
Ji Won of Cherry Bullet came in at 10.12 seconds.
And Luda of WJSN came in at 10.81 seconds.
Group Two will now run the Women's 60m preliminaries.
All the other players in Group Two are new to the race...
other than Lena of GWSN.
They're the freshmen of the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
- Yes. - That's right.
They're freshmen.
It's a race between freshmen.
- It's hard to predict the winner. - Yes, it's hard.
Let's hear what Mr. Yoon has to say.
Lena made it to the finals last year at the Chuseok Special...
and came in fifth.
So I think she'll easily be able to reach the finals again this year.
You picked Lena because she has experience.
- So you want to play safe. - Yes.
- What about you, Dahyun? - I think...
Yuji of 3YE on Lane Six will win.
- Why do you think so? - Because I think...
she'll run at a steady pace.
- Like her name? - Yes.
- That's what her name means. - You think she'll stay steady?
Okay, let's take a look.
To your positions.
(Most of the girls in Group Two are new to the race.)
(Will Lena win the race like Yoon Yeo Chun predicted?)
(Or will the victory go to a rookie?)
Ready.
(Who will be the winner in Group Two?)
- They're off. - It's begun.
(The race begins.)
Yeo Wool is fast.
- Yuji is doing great as well. - Yes, you're right.
- Look at Yuji. - Yuji is fast.
(Yuji suddenly sprints and takes the lead.)
Lane six!
My goodness, Yuji wins the race.
(Yuji wins the race by only a small difference.)
Nice!
Yuji kept a steady pace.
She came in first. Dahyun got it right.
Dahyun made the right guess.
She still has a smile on her face even though she just did a race.
Dahyun, you might win the Entertainment Award this year.
Exactly.
She's a very strong candidate.
We have the records.
- A little over 10 seconds. - 10.22 seconds.
Lena didn't do very well even though she made it...
- to the finals last year. - What happened?
She made it to the finals last year.
- My gosh. - The records...
What is this nonsense?
Has the curse begun?
- Yes. - Okay.
Group Three will now run the Women's 60m preliminaries.
Eun Seo of WJSN is in this team.
She previously won the bronze medal two times...
for the Women's 60m sprint...
in the 2016 and 2018 Chuseok Specials.
When she ran the 400m relay in 2018 Chuseok Special,
she reached the finish line with a huge smile on her face.
And all the other idol stars...
referred to that as the horrific smile.
- Yes. - Yes.
Eun Seo will easily be able to win the race and reach the finals.
You're going to say that already?
It's a safe bet.
My curse doesn't have anything to do with this.
She's a great runner.
Yes, she is. What about you, Dahyun?
I think May of Cherry Bullet will win the race.
- Why? - May?
In order to win, you also need to be in good physical condition.
I heard she's 172cm tall.
- She's very tall. - Yes, she is.
Isn't she taller than you, Leeteuk?
That's pretty tall.
I refuse to stand next to her.
I would also like to refuse.
I personally think Seoryoung of GWSN...
- who's in lane six will win. - Why?
She's 157cm tall.
She may be small, but that will be her strength.
- I choose Eun Seo. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
(Dumbfounded)
I can't help it. She has amazing records.
- She's very good. - Yes.
- To your positions. - Eun Seo in lane three...
seems to be the strongest candidate.
But someone else could always end up winning instead.
A race against the potential winner...
and those who want to take her place.
Ready.
- And they're off. - There they go.
(The race begins.)
Look at her go!
She's very fast.
(May takes the lead.)
- It's May! - May!
She was Dahyun's pick!
- May wins! - She wins!
There's Eun Seo!
Eun Seo comes in third!
(This is a very shocking and unexpected result.)
Eun Seo, I'm sorry.
May of Cherry Bullet wins the race.
Dahyun continues to bring luck to the ones she chooses...
while Yeo Chun continues to bring bad luck.
- I mean, seriously. - We didn't plan this at all.
- Of course not. - I was also startled.
Eun Seo also seems a little puzzled.
She looks confused.
Very confused.
Dahyun, your hunch is amazing.
Look at May sprinting ahead.
- Eun Seo had a good start as well. - Yes.
But she had huge strides.
But Eun Seo even won two bronze medals.
- She finished at 9.81 seconds. - She's the fastest yet.
What's amazing is that the people that Dahyun and Leeteuk chose...
both came in 1st and 2nd.
Dahyun, you should come with me to the Olympics in Tokyo.
What are you talking about? She's busy.
I think May could possibly be one of the best runners...
among all the idol stars this year.
- 9.81 is the fastest... - Yes, she's the fastest yet.
- She has the fastest record. - Yes.
Group Four will now run the Women's 60m preliminaries.
Group Four consists of idol stars...
who are very versatile and charming.
Who is going to be the scapegoat of Group Four?
Scapegoat?
- She's not a scapegoat. - Okay.
But I think this person has a high chance of winning.
- Really? - She won a bronze medal last time.
I'm personally very fond of Yves.
- What? - What did you say?
It's not Christmas Eve.
I like Christmas Eve as well.
- It's way past Christmas Eve. - Right.
Yves is also very smart.
Her grade was the 11th highest in her year.
- Really? - Yes.
What does that have anything to do with the race?
She's not only smart, but she's also a great athlete.
She's like a role model.
A role model?
(He says whatever that comes to mind.)
Are you the school principal?
- Is this a speech or something? - What kind of nonsense is that?
Okay, you think she might win because she's a role model.
- What about you, Dahyun? - I think...
- Suyun of Rocket Punch will win. - Suyun?
She used to be a track and field athlete in elementary school.
- Really? - Yes, that's right.
- To your positions. - Yves in lane two...
was picked by Yoon Yeo Chun as a winning candidate...
because she's like a role model to others.
Let's see who will come in with the fastest record.
Ready.
(Who will win in Group Four?)
- And they're off. - They're running.
(The race begins.)
Look at her run.
- Who is that? - Who's winning?
- Yves! - Yves is fast.
- Yves is taking the lead. - Suyun tries to catch up.
(It's a very close race.)
Yves wins the race.
Yves of LOONA comes in first.
- She really is a model star. - Yes, she is.
- She's very smart too. - Right.
You look very happy.
- Let's take a look at the race. - Yes, let's look.
- Suyun was very fast. - Yes, she was.
Yves finished the race very nicely.
Yves came in first at 10.31 seconds.
She once won a bronze medal before, so it's not a surprise that she won.
By the way, Suyun came in second.
- Great guess. - Right.
How did you guess that?
You must get some kind of a hunch.
Yes, kind of.
- She was also the tallest. - Right.
Dahyun has a very high accuracy rate.
But we expect a higher accuracy rate from Mr. Yoon.
We say that every year, but he always fails.
- I have a question. - Yes?
- He never gets it right. - Right.
But every year, I always find him sitting in that seat.
That's not even what puzzles me.
I don't get how he's the track and field reporter at MBC.
I find that very interesting.
We have the overall results of the Women's 60m race.
The Men's 60m sprint preliminaries will soon begin.
Group One will now run the Men's 60m preliminaries.
We're now seeing...
the members of Group One for the Men's 60m sprint.
And I have to say, they're all very handsome.
This is the first group of the Men's 60m sprint.
- This is important, Mr. Yoon. - Yes, that's right.
I think it was 2 or 3 years ago. I can't exactly remember.
But from what I know, Heo Chan of VICTON in lane four...
had a slow start, but he suddenly sprinted...
and came in second place.
There they go!
(Heo Chan, VICTON)
(Heo Chan had a slow start.)
(But he quickly caught up and came in 2nd.)
If he runs as fast as he did back then,
- I think Heo Chan of VICTON... - Heo Chan.
might be able to make it to the finals.
I'm very sorry.
Yes, me too.
He's in lane four.
What about you, Dahyun?
I choose Wondae of DONGKIZ who's standing in Lane Two.
- Wondae? - Yes.
- Why? - He's the tallest in the group.
- And... - You keep focusing on their height.
- You only care about their height. - Exactly.
That's very important to her.
That's all she keeps talking about.
To your positions.
- Dahyun picked Wondae in lane two. - Dahyun picked him.
And Mr. Yoon picked Heo Chan in lane four.
Let's see if Heo Chan...
will be able to overcome Mr. Yoon's curse.
Ready.
And they're off.
And they're off
- They're fast. - Look at Heo Chan!
- Heo Chan. - Heo Chan is fast.
- Heo Chan! - He's very fast.
(Heo Chan is the front-runner.)
(Lane 4: Heo Chan, VICTON)
(And he comes in 1st.)
- Heo Chan was very fast. - He's a very fast runner.
Heo Chan. Wow.
Heo Chan.
- He had a good start this time. - Yes, he did.
He not only did a great last-minute spurt but has good stamina as well.
- Yes, that's right. - He outruns the others easily.
In first with a record of 8.42 seconds...
- is Heo Chan. - Yes.
In second is Wondae of DONGKIZ.
- Wondae's record is 8.47 seconds. - Wow.
- Wondae had a late start. - Yes, he did.
But the difference between his and Chan's record is 0.05 seconds.
- Yes. - He is a dark horse.
He is definitely a dark horse.
What's greater than predicting that Heo Chan would be in first...
is the fact that Dahyun predicted that Wondae of DONGKIZ would win...
- without any information on him. - She is amazing.
- It's because... - We don't know anything about him.
we do not have any data on him.
All we know is he has a white belt in Taekwondo.
- That's right. - Wow. She is amazing.
Group Two of Men's 60m preliminaries will begin now.
There is one athlete whom we should keep our eyes on in this group.
It's Bang Chan who is in lane three.
He is an amazing athlete who was part of the finals...
for the Men's 60m during the 2019 Chuseok Special.
That's right.
- And they're off. - There they go!
(Bang Chan came in first in the 2019 Chuseok Special)
Bang Chan said that he runs while imagining that...
Park Jin Young was watching him.
- Oh! - I think that's why he'll run hard.
There are times when Dahyun's intuition is not accurate.
- It's when there are athletes... - When they are in the same agency.
- from her agency is competing. - Yes, that's right.
- I just naturally support them. - That's right.
Mr. Yoon, do you think that...
Bang Chan of Stray Kids will win this time?
Yes. I will make a safe prediction...
and go for Bang Chan of Stray Kids.
He is not an ordinary athlete.
Yes. Bang Chan.
If that's the case, I will have to choose someone else.
She wants to avoid his pick.
It's more important to avoid his pick than supporting your colleague.
- I'll go for the athlete in lane 6, - Lane 6.
- Yun Min. - Why him?
- He is the tallest among them.
- He's 184cm. - That's right.
- She is very observant. - Yes, she is.
- Bang Chan is in lane three. - Yes.
He made it to the finals in the 2019 Chuseok Special.
It's the first time for the others to compete in this event.
Ready.
- And they're off! - There they go!
- Bang Chan is in the lead. - As expected, Bang Chan is leading.
As expected, Bang Chan is in the lead.
(Bang Chan takes the lead right from the start.)
- He is unlike the others. - He's the winner, isn't he?
- Yes, he is. - My goodness.
Bang Chan is in first.
Although Dahyun's prediction is not right this time,
she is happy since Bang Chan is in the same agency as she is.
- Good job. - Yes.
It's because Park Jin Young is eyeing him closely.
That's why he has to run faster.
You can't help but run fast when you have that thought on your mind.
Let's watch it again.
- He had a quick start. - Yes, he's fast.
It's because he is a great runner.
He won this round with a big lead.
Here are the results for Group Two.
Bang Chan is in first with a record of 8.14 seconds.
Yun Min is in last.
The tables have turned.
He is happy that he won against Dahyun.
- Yes, he is. - He won this time.
This is now a battle between an expert and an idol.
- Why would this make him happy? - He is mean.
(Dahyun is embarrassed.)
(But I am still happy that I won.)
Group three will now run the Men's 60m preliminaries.
There is an amazing athlete...
- in Group Three. - You're right.
Hwal Chan who is in lane three won the gold medal...
- at the 2019 Chuseok Special. - Yes, that's right.
They're off.
We don't know who will win this race.
- Hwal Chan! - Hwal Chan!
(He's the super rookie who won the gold medal on his first match.)
He has an amazing record of winning the Men's 60m event...
- in 7 seconds. - That's a good record.
Because of that record, even without Mr. Yoon's prediction,
- he's surely a strong contender. - You're right.
We have Bang Chan, Hwal Chan, and Heo Chan.
- They are the Three Chans. - We have the Three Chans.
- Chan, Chan, Chan. - My goodness.
They are Chan, Chan, Chan.
- We might be able to witness... - Yes.
the battle between the Three Chans in this year's event.
- Ready. - Aren't there any other athletes...
who has the potential to win as well?
I think Hwal Chan will be leading with a big gap.
That's expected to happen.
- That's expected to happen. - It's because he's a gold medalist.
That's right
But will we be able to witness an unexpected outcome today?
Yes, that might happen.
Set.
And they're off.
- As expected. - It's Hwal Chan.
- He's unlike the others. - He's just different.
(Hwal Chan is leading with amazing speed.)
- He's very different. - Yes, he is.
- It's Hwal Chan. - He didn't disappoint us.
Looks like we will witness the battle between the Three Chans.
- Yes. - Wow.
(Hwal Chan of GreatGuys is in first with 7.98 seconds.)
- 7.98 seconds. - He's the only one in 7 seconds.
- Just like before. - Only he has that time record.
He's the fastest among the Three Chans.
- He's the fastest. - That's right.
We can predict that he is the strongest contender for...
- the gold medal for this event. - That's right.
Group Four will now run the Men's 60m preliminaries.
In Group Four,
we'll be able to see athletes showing off their running skills.
- They have amazing records. - Yes.
Especially Yun Sung who is in lane four.
- He is an amazing runner. - Yes, he is.
The difference between his and Hwal Chan's record is 0.04 seconds.
- Really? - There's also Jeon Woong in lane 3.
He qualified to compete in the final round last year...
- and was in fourth. - When the record was 7 seconds?
Yes. Therefore, we will be able to witness...
a close match between Yun Sung and Jeong Woong...
to see who will be in first in this preliminary match.
- Ready. - All right.
According to Mr. Yoon,
it'll be a close competition between lane 3 and 4.
It's a battle between the silver medalist and the one in fourth.
Both of them have records in the sevens.
(All of the medalist contenders are watching this match closely.)
Ready.
There they go! All right!
- Yun Sung is fast! - Yun Sung!
There they go! All right!
- Yun Sung is fast! - Yun Sung!
Jeon Woong is fast too!
Nam Yun Sung!
As expected, Yun Sung, who won the silver medal last year,
is the winner in this race.
- Jeon Woong is in second. - Yes.
He started running too late.
I expected him to start running immediately.
- He was late. - Yes, he was.
They had a big gap between them...
- at the 20 meter mark. - Yes.
But Jeon Woong managed to come in second...
because of his speed.
Their record would be similar if he started the race on time.
- Yes. - Yes.
I am curious about their record.
(Nam Yun Sung of AB6IX is in first with 7.93 seconds)
That's an amazing record.
Hwal Chan's record was 7.98 seconds.
Yun Sung is faster by...
- Yun Sung is faster. - 0.05 seconds.
Jeon Woong's record is 8.13 seconds which is not bad...
- considering he started late. - It's a good record.
I will now read the athletes of the Men's 60m who will advance.
Heo Chan of VICTON, Bang Chan of Stray Kids,
and Hwal Chan of GreatGuys.
This will be a battle between the Three Chans.
Yun Sung of NOIR, Seong Hwa of ATEEZ,
and Jeon Woong of AB6IX...
will be participating in the final event.
The Women's 60m Finals will begin now.
(They are cheering passionately as this is the final round.)
(Final Round for the Women's 60m.)
Here are the athletes. In lane one is Sihyeon of ARIAZ.
In lane two is Yves of LOONA.
In lane three is May of Cherry Bullet.
In lane four is Ji Won of Cherry Bullet.
(Lane 4: Ji Won of Cherry Bullet)
In lane five is Yuji of 3YE.
(Lane 5: Yuji of 3YE)
In lane six is Seoryoung of GWSN.
(Lane 6: Seoryoung of GWSN)
One out of the six athletes...
- will win the gold medal. - Yes.
Who do you think will be the gold medalist?
We should listen to the interview with the athletes first.
Really?
I guess the interview will affect this match.
- Yes, it does. - Is that so?
We have to observe their eyes closely as well.
- Their eyes? - We have to observe them carefully.
- Are you doing fortune telling? - Yes, that's right.
You're going to read their fortune through physiognomy? I see.
The interview...
We will now pass the microphone...
to our floor MC, Lee Dae Hwi.
Hello! I am the human vitamin, Dae Hwi.
(All the best, Dae Hwi!)
What's your name?
Sihyeon of ARIAZ.
He begins the interview by asking for her name.
How do you feel right now?
I never imagined I'd be in the final round. I am very nervous.
(Don't be nervous, Sihyeon!)
Why don't you ask for a reward from your CEO if you win the gold medal?
Please let us spend time outdoors!
She said, "Please let us spend time outdoors."
What kind of ceremony do you want to do if you win?
I would like Ji Won, my member who is standing beside me,
to win a medal too so that we can celebrate it together.
Yes. There are two members from Cherry Bullet in this round.
Next is Ji Won from Cherry Bullet.
Are you confident that you will win this race?
I am happy to be part of...
- the final round. We can do this! - She is amazing.
- Great. All the best. - Great.
He doesn't ask more questions.
As soon as they answer, he just says, "Great."
- I love his interview. - Yes.
You are the only member from 3YE who is in this final round.
She must feel lonely.
So what do you plan to do by yourself?
My goodness.
I plan to dance by myself to our song.
Please say something to the medal.
She suddenly has to say something to the medal.
She has to send a message to the medal. To the medal.
I want to win the medal. Please give me your support.
That was her message for the medal.
We enjoyed watching the video message for the medal.
Okay.
Is it over?
- It is an express interview. - The interview went quickly.
- Yes. I thought it was edited out. - Yes.
The athletes are very nervous...
as this is the final round which decides who will be the medalists.
I am an observer but I feel more nervous than them. Pitter, patter.
(Dae Hwi makes them laugh until the final moment.)
Wow. He has potential.
I am Dae Hwi, saying goodbye from the Women's 60m Finals.
MBC.
Reporting with MBC, Lee Dae Hwi.
Yes, sounds great.
- Was that interview helpful? - Very much.
How was it helpful?
What was the most helpful for you?
Everything overall...
I'll analyze everything comprehensively...
- Really? - Yes.
and give you a sharp commentary.
- Sounds great. - As you can see,
May of Cherry Bullet has the best record as of now.
Her record was 9.81 seconds.
Also, Yves of LOONA won...
- the bronze medal last time. - Yes.
However, if you consider their conditions,
Ji Won of Cherry Bullet in lane four...
- Yes? - seems to be in the best condition.
- You didn't go with the record. - Yes.
Ji Won didn't put in all of her strength...
- during the preliminaries. - I see.
- And I caught that. - Did you?
He can read people's physiognomy and catch those things.
You caught it?
He said Ji Won will win the gold medal.
- What about you, Dahyun? - Let's hear from her.
I'll have to go with May of Cherry Bullet.
- Right. - May, yes.
You have to go with her.
Because she picked her during the preliminaries too.
- You're right. - Yes.
Dahyun has a good hunch,
- so she may win the gold medal. - Yes.
When I say something like that,
you say I'm only concerned...
- about their records. - This is the time to do that.
- We had the preliminaries. - We have to look at the records.
- It happened today. - Yes.
Mr. Yoon, you were looking at the records from three years ago.
What about you, Leeteuk?
It's hard to tell, but I'll make a careful decision...
to go with Yuji of 3YE.
- Yuji. - What's your reason?
Because it looks like she could "Yuji" her power.
- "Yuji" her power? - Okay.
On your marks.
- Dahyun and I said... - It'll be May.
- May. - May is in lane three.
Ji Won hasn't won a medal yet,
but her record shows she practically won one.
- Yves has a good record too. - Yes.
(The spectators are nervous too!)
Get set...
- And they're off. - They're running.
(They're at a similar speed during the beginning.)
May is dashing off.
- May! - It's May!
Ji Won is a bit slower.
(She's amazingly fast.)
- May! - May wins...
the gold medal!
- May! - May wins...
the gold medal!
- May takes first place. - I knew it.
Dahyun's choice, May, wins the gold medal.
Yuji was the second place.
Is that so?
That means Mr. Yoon is the last place among us.
- You're right. - Yes.
Ji Won was way too nervous.
No, she looks relaxed and fine right now.
You said she was in the best condition.
(Astonished)
Should you change your argument like that?
Let's take a look.
She hesitated at the start.
Yuji was the fastest off the line.
Ji Won was a little flustered as Yuji dashed off quickly.
Wow, May.
She's all smiles.
May was much faster than the preliminaries.
- She was much faster. - Much faster.
May takes the gold medal with 9.68 seconds.
And Yuji of 3YE kept her record well.
- Yes, she's done well. - This was her first year.
- Yes. - Yes, but...
See that? Dahyun mentioned both May and Yuji,
- and they won the 1st and the 2nd. - Right.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Ji Won of Cherry Bullet was the most likely to win,
but after we mentioned her a few times, she wins the bronze.
- But that's still meaningful. - Yes.
She wins the bronze medal with 10.01 seconds.
It's a great day for Cherry Bullet. Congratulations.
Congratulations!
(Congratulations.)
(Cherry Bullet goes to their supportive fans.)
- We won! - We won medals!
Thank you so much for all of your support.
We'll... We'll make sure we come back up here.
(Look forward to seeing them again.)
The Men's 60m Finals will begin right now.
We'll move onto the Men's 60m Finals now.
(Men's 60m Finals: Heo Chan, Bang Chan,)
(Hwal Chan, Nam Yun Sung, Jeon Woong, Park Seong Hwa)
Here are the qualifiers. In lane one is Heo Chan of VICTON.
In lane two is Bang Chan of Stray Kids.
In lane three is Hwal Chan of GreatGuys.
In lane four is Nam Yun Sung of NOIR.
- He's looking to win. - Nam Yun Sung.
In lane five is Jeon Woong of AB6IX.
Jeon Woong has a good record.
In lane six is Park Seong Hwa of ATEEZ.
I really look forward to the Three Chans' competition.
Will the Chan, Chan, and Chan stop Nam Yun Sung?
- Exactly. - That's something to look for.
- All right. - Let me tell you a little more.
Hwal Chan in lane three was...
- the Chuseok Special's champion. - You're right.
And Yun Sung in lane four...
won a silver medal during the last Chuseok Special.
- They're taking off. - They're taking off.
- Hwal Chan! - Hwal Chan!
(The winner was decided by a mere 0.04 seconds.)
But the preliminary match shows that Yun Sung was faster.
And Bang Chan in lane two.
His best record is the fifth place so far.
But I think he came back ready to win a medal today.
- Bang Chan. - He's in great condition.
- Right? - Yes.
- You can do it! - You can do it!
In that case, Mr. Yoon?
Hwal Chan. I'll go with the defending champion.
- I see. - You chose the former champion.
Dahyun?
Bang Chan of Stray Kids has all of my support, but...
- But? - the records show...
- Yun Sung of NOIR would win. - Yun Sung.
- He'll make something happen. - He was pretty fast,
so I look forward to seeing him win.
What if I lose to Dahyun again?
(Something feels ominous.)
Then I'll follow Dahyun and go with Yun Sung.
- Really? - Yes.
- Then... - Yes?
- I'll go with Mr. Yoon. - Really?
- Goodness. - I'll go with him.
(Mr. Yoon holds Hyun Moo's hand tightly for siding with him.)
(Will their enmity end today?)
Oh, gosh.
(There's no way.)
On your marks.
(The runners get ready to run.)
The Three Chans are in lanes 1, 2, and 3.
- Right next to them is... - NOIR.
Yun Sung, the silver medalist who almost had the win.
But Jeon Woong and Seong Hwa...
both came to the finals with great records as well.
- It'll be a close match. - It will be.
I think we'll use the VAR.
It looks like they'll all come in at once.
(Everyone is focused.)
Get set...
- And they're off! - They're taking off!
- My gosh, Yun Sung! - Yun Sung!
(They all dash for the gold medal.)
Yun Sung!
(Yun Sung of NOIR quickly sprints out.)
Yun Sung!
(Completely focused! Mr. Yoon is uneasy.)
- Yun Sung! - Yun Sung is fast.
(Yun Sung and Hwal Chan quickly gain on Bang Chan.)
Yun Sung!
(Yun Sung reaches the finish by a hair in front of Hwal Chan.)
Yun Sung!
It's over. I think we need the VAR.
No way, it's Yun Sung.
(Yun Sung of NOIR wins the gold medal.)
- Was it Yun Sung? - It was.
- It was Yun Sung. - Goodness.
I... I shouldn't have followed Mr. Yoon's choice.
I must have gone crazy.
- You should have taken our side. - I must've been crazy.
I mean, how?
Yun Sung did very well,
but Hwal Chan started too late.
How can this be? Hwal Chan, come on.
He was way too nervous.
But later on, he used his big stride to speed up...
- He did catch up. - and caught up to him, but...
We have to take a look at how they come in.
Yun Sung wins.
- Did Yun Sung win? - Yes.
Although Hwal Chan's head crossed the goal first,
- but that doesn't count. - Not the head?
- No. - You can't go with the head?
Their upper body, the chest portion, has to come in first.
(Their body, excluding the limbs, must pass the finish line.)
I must have been completely insane.
I forgot about Mr. Yoon curse.
- You should've sided with us. - I didn't think it through.
The records look amazing.
Yun Sung won this match...
with a similar difference as the last match.
- Yes, it's the opposite. - The difference was 0.04 seconds...
- when Hwal Chan won. - Yes.
But this year, Yun Sung wins...
the gold medal with 0.03 seconds.
This is the first time Bang Chan wins a medal too.
- You're right. - A bronze medal.
It looks like our next championship will be even more interesting.
- You're right. - Dahyun, you need to come back.
Dahyun is really amazing.
- She is. - We didn't plot anything.
- There's nothing here. - There's nothing.
- All we have are the scripts. - This is Dahyun's hunch.
She should go to the Tokyo Olympics instead of you.
- Seriously. - Yes, sure.
- Goodness. - "Yes, sure."
- "Sure"? - "Sure."
The curse of Mr. Yoon continues on.
Yes, it continued on.
Yun Sung wins this return match as well.
(Yun Sung returns to win and takes the gold medal.)
- Nam Yun Sung! - Nam Yun Sung!
- I love you. - Congratulations.
I kept my promise and came in first.
Our CEO is supposed to buy us beef If I came in first place today.
But I'll use that money to give you something instead.
- Right now. - You're the best!
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E01 Part 1 '2020 ISAC New Year Special' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Yun Sung of NOIR, congratulations on winning the gold medal.)
(Ssireum)
(﻿Namdong Gymnasium, Incheon)
This event was...
the talk of the town during the last Chuseok Special.
Yes, you're right.
From a demonstration sport, it returned as a regular event.
Let's get started with the Men's Ssireum team event.
(Ssireum was selected as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.)
(They brought back the event after 3 years.)
(The players' fancy skills captured everyone's eyes.)
- Goodness. - Did you see that?
He used centrifugal force and pushed him over right away.
That was the fastest match.
(Which group will take the title as the champion of ssireum?)
And we have a legendary champion of ssireum,
Lee Tae Hyun, with us a commentator.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
The curse of Mr. Yoon for track and field...
continued onto this year.
But for ssireum, we have the blessing of Lee Tae Hyun.
- All his predictions came true. - Right.
Can you do that again this year?
But it depends on the situation. I am worried.
Yoon Yeo Chun is at the bottom,
- Right. - so you can relax.
- All right. - Just don't be worse than him.
- Of course. - Yes.
I heard...
there are some ssireum aces that surprised...
the commentator and coaches during the practice.
Yes. There were several athletes who unusually stood out.
I believe it's going to be a very interesting game.
(Idol stars forgot about the cold weather and practiced.)
Did you see that?
Just flip the opponent.
That's it. You are starting to roll now.
Three. All right.
(They were competitive as if it's the actual game.)
(My goodness.)
Both of you are very fast.
As rookie ssireum athletes, we will play with a fresh, fighting spirit.
- It was my first practice. - Right.
I think I have a chance.
Since I am joining the games, I think I should win.
We will work hard to win this time.
- I will do my best in ssireum. - We will do our best.
Please cheer for us.
It's already very exciting.
Someone's special stage performance...
will heat up the atmosphere even more.
- Do you see the people in yellow? - The fan club.
- Yes. - I can see them.
They are the fan club members of the master of janggu.
Their fandom is as great as the idol fans' fandom.
Yes. Right now...
Make some noise.
Park Seo Jin is preparing for a congratulatory performance.
He's the master of janggu who's shaking the entire nation.
Let's watch Park Seo Jin's performance.
Yes.
His performance is as great as Super Junior's.
- It's fun to watch. - It sure is.
Look at that flashy janggu play.
Look at him playing the janggu.
Right.
- He sings well too. - Yes.
(At the 2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships)
(Ssireum games are held)
(Regardless of how experienced my opponent is)
(I will beat him in one round)
(SF9 is the group with great physical appearance)
(VICTON is the rising star)
(ONF is the charm switch)
(Golden Child has the unusual energy)
(ATEEZ is the blessing)
(VERIVERY has to win)
(April's crime is being pretty)

(Do not care about who your opponent is)
(I will fight to be a Ssireum champion)
(And I will win fair and square)
Great.
This is it.
Park Seo Jin is the master of janggu.
(They get very excited.)
(Dancing)
Let's get it.
Pull the thigh band
He changed the lyrics for this match.
MBC is fair and square.
(A congratulatory performance can't be more perfect than this.)
It's exciting.
That was a perfect ending.
It was a perfectly fitting performance for ssireum games.
I am excited to see...
which idol star will become the ssireum champion this year.
We will continue on to the Men's Ssireum team event.
That's right. I am looking at the list of participants,
and the last year's winning team ASTRO...
and the semi-finalist team AB6IX...
- are not on the list. - I see.
Two new teams have joined.
They are VICTON and ATEEZ.
I heard there's a member who is almost like a ssireum wrestler.
Dahyun, let's stop there.
Let's find out who that amazing wrestler is during the game.
Before we start, please explain the rules.
In the team event, the team that wins 2 out of 3 rounds will win.
The individual event will be a single-round match.
- I see. - The match is for one minute.
If it's a tie, they will get 30 seconds of extra time.
Yes. If it's still a tie after the extra time,
the person who weighs less will be the winner.
- The team that weighs less wins. - Right.
It will be a six-team tournament this year,
so one team will be going to the final round...
- by default. - Right.
That team might have the advantage because they get to save strength.
But they might be at a disadvantage because they are not used to it.
- That's right. - The last team that wins...
in the preliminary round will go straight to the final round...
without a semi-final round...
- by default. Please remember. - Right.
This is the preliminaries for Men's Ssireum team event.
The first match will begin.
(Men's Ssireum Tournament Table)
The first preliminary round will be ATEEZ versus VERIVERY.
ATEEZ has the dominating aura.
- Yes. - They are all very fit.
ATEEZ is amazing.
I believe someone really talented is on this team.
- Mr. Lee, - Yes.
he's not your pupil you planted in the team, is he?
As soon as I saw Jeong Yun Ho, I wanted to scout him.
I compared my shoulders to his.
- I was really shocked. - Why?
He's got the body of a professional ssireum wrestler.
(Commentator Lee Tae Hyun tried grabbing Yun Ho's thigh band.)
Wait.
(Coughing)
He's too strong. Gosh.
(He had the power to dominate the other wrestlers.)
(He's the only wrestler to have never lost.)
He's got really wide shoulders.
- Yes. - Wide shoulders.
- He's got the wide shoulders. - He's got the wide shoulders.
The first match is Gye Hyeon of VERIVERY...
versus Jung Woo Young...
- Of ATEEZ. - Yes.
(The fans are cheering passionately.)
Before Yun Ho comes out, VERIVERY needs...
- To win. - to win at least one match.
Stand up.
Ready.
(The match begins.)
(The two wrestlers fight intensely.)
- It's dangerous. - Belly throw.
Gye Hyeon.
Pushing off.
- It's nip and tuck. - Gye Hyeon.
- He tried the tackling move. - Stop.
(The referee stops the match.)
Right.
Since you can't step out of the ring,
the referee stopped the match.
Yes. There are two reasons. There's a danger of injury.
The match is supposed to be stopped if they leave the ring.
Stand up.
Ready.
(The match resumes.)
Gye Hyeon tried to attack aggressively.
But he's too light.
Major outer reaping throw.
(Woo Young succeeds to do the major outer reaping throw.)
(It happened so fast that we didn't get to see it.)
Woo Young wins.
It was a belly throw, wasn't it?
- A major outer reaping throw. - Was it?
- A major outer reaping throw. - I don't know about techniques.
(He won! He won!)
Let's watch it again. It's a major outer reaping throw.
Using his back strength, he twisted Gye Hyeon.
His bottom touched the floor first.
- His bottom touched the floor. - It touched the floor first.
Gye Hyeon's bottom touched the floor first.
Woo Young wins.
It was a close match.
ATEEZ won one point first.
This is bad for VERIVERY.
Jeong Yun Ho...
- He will be coming on the mat. - of ATEEZ is up.
Look at his shoulders.
He has a very strong-looking body. He's Yun Ho.
It seems like VERIVERY chose a member...
- who's as big as him. - Yes.
It's the match between two people with broad shoulders.
(It will be our first time to see how good Yun Ho is.)
If Yun Ho loses, ATEEZ will be in great trouble.
Stand up.
Ready.
- And they're off. - Yun Ho.
He shook his opponent once.
(The real wrestler is here.)
(Their jaws drop.)
Yun Ho is as great as we all expected.
Mr. Lee,
is the fair?
- It's... - Their levels are too different.
- Dongheon is very strong too. - He's very strong.
- Is he a professional? - He is like a professional.
- His back strength is... - Yes.
He just lifted him and...
It's unbelievable.
It's not all about how strong the player is.
To do well in ssireum, you need to stick very closely to your opponent.
You have to manipulate the opponent's movement...
and fall together.
He can do that too, on top of being strong.
This is unbelievable.
- You are too strong. Seriously. - I am sorry.
- He's too strong. - We heard it too.
It's good to be strong, but he's just too strong.
ATEEZ beats VERIVERY with a score of 2 to 0.
Congratulations.
(Men's Ssireum Tournament Table)
(ATEEZ)
The second preliminary round of the Men's Ssireum team event is...
between VICTON and SF9.
It's VICTON's first time here.
However, there's a member who did ssireum as a boy.
- Really? - Yes.
- It's Im Se Jun. - Im Se Jun.
(On the first day, he slowly got his skills back.)
(Shortly)
(He was in his element.)
He's really good.
That's a win.
(Se Jun was undoubtedly the ace.)
It's Im Se Jun.
He used to be in the ssireum club in his elementary school.
SF9 met ASTRO in the last Chuseok Special...
and was eliminated in the preliminaries.
I hope they'll do well this time.
Stand up.
(SF9 meets a strong opponent in the preliminaries again.)
Ready.
(The match begins.)
- His posture is great. - Now...
he's the ace on VICTON.
His lower body is really strong.
It's the major outer reaping throw!
His lower body is really strong.
(He attacks with perfect timing as he was in the ssireum club.)
- It's Se Jun. - I knew he'd win.
Although this was a good match,
I'm really looking forward...
to the match between Jeong Yun Ho of ATEEZ...
- and Se Jun of VICTON. - I'm also looking forward to it.
VICTON is ahead with one point.
(VICTON: 1, SF9: 0)
In the second match,
we have Su Bin of VICTON.
- He's known to be very flexible. - Is he?
It's Dawon of SF9.
Looking at the physique, Dawon seems quite strong.
- What do you think, commentator? - In the last Chuseok Special,
Darwin showed some amazing skills.
Darwin is an evolutionist.
- It's Dawon. - Yes, Dawon.
You said, "Darwin."
I meant Dawon. He's done great last time.
I'm making a lot of mistakes today. I apologize.
(Staring)
Stand up.
Ready.
He's...
- Dawon has great posture. - He does.
You think Dawon is favorable to win.
They're trying to figure each other out.
They're going to look for a way to attack now.
The engagement continues.
- That's really arduous. - Su Bin attacks!
(Su Bin of VICTON wins.)
- Su Bin attacks! - Su Bin attacks!
- Dawon has lost. - Dawon has lost.
I think we need an explanation on this skill.
Su Bin attacked,
and as he was about to fall with Dawon's returning throw,
he put his leg further inside.
- It was right here. - That's when his leg went in.
His leg was further in.
- This is the beauty of ssireum. - Yes.
I thought Su Bin would fall for a second there.
He was about to fall, but he held out...
and went inside. It was a great skill.
This is Su Bin's flexibility that Dahyun mentioned earlier.
It is.
- It was possible because of that. - Right. It was his flexibility.
- Mr. Yoon, you were wrong. - About what?
Didn't you say you think Dawon of SF9 will win?
No, I said he was only favorable.
- No, he said, "Darwin." - Right.
- That was the worst. - Yes.
That was probably the best thing we've seen today in ssireum.
- Yes. - It was the best move so far.
Then ATEEZ and VICTON will go against each other.
- That's right. - Right.
(Men's Ssireum Tournament Table)
(ATEEZ versus VICTON)
The third preliminary match of Men's Ssireum team event will begin.
It's a match between ONF and Golden Child.
The winner will win the next round by default.
What's your prediction, Mr. Yoon?
By the looks of it, I think ONF will...
Are you just making a random guess?
No, I look at their builds.
- Their builds? - I'm looking at their builds...
- from a distance. - You look at their builds.
That's very important.
- But you've seen it wrong. U is... - Yes.
a bit smaller compared to Seung Min.
The members of Golden Child look bigger to me.
(Anxious)
Stand up.
Ready.
(The match begins.)
It's a close match.
ONF practiced really hard for this.
And with a fine physique, it's...
(The bit bigger Bae Seung Min of Golden Child wins.)
- What do you think? - Golden Child wins!
What was the skill Seung Min used?
It went from the pushing off to the body-twist throw.
- That means he's very strong. - Yes.
He used the body-twist throw here,
but it didn't work, so he pushed his opponent.
It was the body-twist throw.
- Look. He was going for it. - He lifted his opponent.
He's also quite flexible.
(It was a perfect combination of technique and flexibility.)
U, you have lost.
- Leeteuk. - Oh, boy.
You have a lot to learn from her.
Her puns are classy.
"U, you have lost."
- U have lost. Oh, boy. - Right?
How cute is she?
It's Dae Yeol versus WYATT.
WYATT of ONF must win...
so that they have a shot at advancing to the finals.
Wire is...
It's not Wire.
(Please...)
- It's WYATT. - It's WYATT.
- Wire is for electricity. - Yes.
You wire a building for electricity.
(It's WYATT!)
- WYATT has to win... - Hold.
- to advance to the next round. - Stand.
It's over once he loses.
Ready.
It's Dae Yeol versus WYATT.
The major outer reaping throw! The returning throw!
(WYATT of ONF wins.)
The returning throw!
It was the returning throw!
(WYATT!)
WYATT has won.
- You just took a deep breath. - Yes.
As you keep asking me these,
it makes me root for him.
Dae Yeol was trying to attack.
But WYATT took advantage of the force to throw his opponent.
This is exactly why your right foot should support you strongly.
They both had their legs in the air, but WYATT put his foot down first.
So his opponent had to be thrown.
This is how difficult it is to win by default.
The score is 1 to 1.
- I never knew ssireum was this fun. - It's fun.
We're seeing different skills in every match.
- Yes. - Yes.
The team to advance to the finals will be decided...
depending on who wins this final match.
Lee Jang Jun is quite a runner.
- He's very athletic. - Yes.
- And HYOJIN looks sturdy. - Yes.
The winning team of this match goes straight to the finals.
(Which team will advance to the finals?)
