Trip Details:
Basecamp: Uljin, North Gyeongsang
Transportation: Warm Comfortable Bus & Convertible Car
Sleeping Arrangement & King Crab Catch Team Game: Badminton Match
It's winter time. The boys divided up into teams of three (same group as the "ping pong line" from the last trip [Su Guen, Ji Won & MC Mong -v- Ho Dong, Kim C & Seung Gi]) to play the cultural game "jegi" or "hackey sack". The team which scored the most from jegi would ride in a warm luxurious bus.
Kim C gave maknae Seung Gi a new year's gift,
Heo Dang nickname on this trip. His nickname stays until today =) Heo Dang basically means he's smart but sometimes he speaks before he thinks, making him funny but cute at the same time.
After an Olympic-like-winning-celebration, the winning team got on the bus, while the losing team unfortunately had to endure the cold in the convertible by listening to
MC Mong's Ice Cream Song. Huahaha.. Who put his CD there? It's genius.
On the other hand, the bus team composed a song expressing their frustration about their suffering in 1N2D. The song's rhythm is similar with Ji Won's song
Adios. I love the song and I actually wish they use it as 1N2D theme song. This song is included in
1N2D fan compilation album (track 2) by
katjacute.
The rough English translation of the lyric:
1Night 2Days Song (ft. MC Mong)
Original Song: Eun Ji Won - Adios
Lyrics by Eun Ji Won & Lee Su Guen
The sun sets and another night follows
He's singing about the suffering that occur on the account of the games
You go and pick first, I'm fine as long as it's not me
Life is all but a silly game
[RAP by Ji Won]
1 Night! It's always 1 Night! Can't stand it.
It's a thin line between life and death,
but the only line I hold is
Sang Geun's leash
[CHORUS]
Drink kanari and oek oek
Your mouth freeze and twisted! twisted
Everybody screams "Silly Game"
While the bus team's enjoying their ride, the convertible team was planning a dramatic scene of
rock, paper, scissor game and hope that they'd able to switch ride. One mistake by Ho Dong made this team lost the game they planned by themselves!
So they played another game of
stacking coal blocks and the person who's unable to stack it & made the block to fall down would ride in a convertible car with his team members.
After the game, the convertible & bus team stayed the same and I actually feel relieved as Ji Won was unwell during this trip. It would make his condition worsen if he had to ride in a cold convertible car.
As soon as they arrived in the basecamp, they took a break in a warm room. The boys were discussing the possibility that three of them would go on 6 hours king crab catching the next morning. They remembered the last boat trip to Gageo-do in which most of them got sea-sick.
The boys stayed in the same team throughout this trip and they played
badminton to decide the sleeping arrangement and king crab expedition team. Continuing last trip's low quality match, now we're entertained with another one
MC Mong -v- Seung Gi's badminton match! But this time, they both were much better badminton players. The tensions were pretty nerve-racking. No team wanted to wake up at 3 in the morning to go on an exhausting 6 hours boat trip.
Fortunately, team Ho Dong lost the match and MC Mong offered to cook dinner for everyone. Ji Won at this time went to hospital with his manager. awww... poor Ji Won.. :(
After yummy dinner and Ji Won's re-united with his 1N2D brothers, they finally settled in in a big long red blanket which was wide enough to cover 6 people. They also received a new year's gift from the Production Staffs, a photo album with special messages for each of them:
Ho Dong: KBS Entertainer of the Year award for 2008, Kang Ho Dong. We congratulate you one year in advance. Fighting!
Ji Won: Eun Cho Ding is to be around for life.
MC Mong: In the new year, we hope you forget about your movie star dreams and apply yourself to be a stage-performer
Seung Gi: We look forward to you still being around when the World Cup comes around in 2010.
