Yeon Jung-hoon, humiliated as the weakest physically on '2 Days & 1 Night'
In the final story of 'Finding the Rice Thief' of KBS2's entertainment show '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' (hereinafter referred to as '2 Days & 1 Night') aired on the 9th, a famous physical battle between six men unfolded in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do, with a viewership rating of 8.4% (Nielsen Korea). (provided by households nationwide) ranked first in its time slot.
In particular, the scene at the end of the broadcast in which DinDin, Yeon Jeong-hoon, and Kim Jong-min, who won the hunger marathon, eat a delicious meal of clam chowder, admire it, and reflect on their experience of eating meat, recorded the highest viewership rating of 12.6% per minute (based on households nationwide).
The day's broadcast started off spectacularly with a sleepover story that took place after dinner, divided into food thieves and citizens. The members who gathered together for the sleepover contest showed great energy by proudly revealing their physical strength and exercise skills from the pre-opening, and the youngest Yoo Seon-ho chose DinDin as the weakest member, adding to the excitement with a spirit fight even before the contest began.
Next, an environment of good and bad in bed was created for them where they had to overcome it only by clashing with their bodies and their strength. The first round of Bedtime is a ‘Physical 100 Points’ individual competition. After participating in the fitness center for each event, points are earned upon success, and the first three people to reach 100 points will sleep indoors. The physical war between the six men that began thus caught the eye with a variety of physical fitness events, including pulling farm equipment, zip-line and gum archery, toe pulleys, a lap around the playground, and ringing the gong.
Each member chose an event they were confident in and took a step closer to sleeping indoors. DinDin, a regular outdoor sleeper who was more desperate than anyone else to sleep indoors, took on the challenge of ‘Ring the Gong’ one after another. ‘Ring the Gong’ is a game where you have to hit the gong with your head and the score exceeds 110 decibels to score points. DinDin continued to challenge himself using his 'brain', that is, his head, which was judged to be his main skill. DinDin, who clearly showed his brain power, was the first among the six men to achieve his dream of sleeping indoors.
After a fierce physical battle, Dindin, Kim Jong-min, and Yoo Seon-ho were among the first three in the first round and succeeded in sleeping indoors. Yoo Seon-ho, in particular, surprised everyone by setting a record of never sleeping outdoors after participating in '2 Days & 1 Night'.
At the end of the first round, there was a twist in which the 'real' concept of good luck and bad luck in bed was revealed to be 'physical zero'. In a physical war, the weakest is chosen and only the last person left gets to sleep outdoors alone. Next, Yeon Jeong-hoon, Moon Se-yoon, and Na In-woo, who did not make it to the first-come-first-served rankings, participated in the second round of 'Physical 100L', and one person who carried 100L of water first with a rubber band tied around his waist was able to sleep indoors as an additional person. After a tense battle that surpassed the scale of an action movie, Moon Se-yoon, the strongest, succeeded in sleeping indoors by carrying the largest amount of water.
Lastly, in the third round to select the weakest player, Yeon Jeong-hoon and Na In-woo had a one-on-one 'Physical Ball' match. In a game where two people had to protect one ball to the end to succeed, Yeon Jeong-hoon and Na In-woo competed without compromise, violently clashing and fighting with each other's bodies and putting all their effort into protecting the ball. After an unprecedented physical fight, Na In-woo won, and Yeon Jeong-hoon, the weakest, was confirmed to sleep outdoors. The sight of Yeon Jeong-hoon, who emerged as the weakest despite throwing his whole body into fighting spirit, caused laughter.
The next day, the six men started the 'Hunger Marathon' as a wake-up mission. The members were amazed at the extraordinary mission site where all the rides in the world were prepared along the Seomjingang River course, such as riding a mud lamp, wearing high heels, and riding a kickboard. The first three people to reach the finish line were given a healthy breakfast, and they enthusiastically participated in the mission, providing a wealth of attractions. As a result of the weather mission, DinDin won first place in the 'Hunger Marathon' following his difficulty in getting to sleep, and DinDin, who was the weakest, presented a twist.
