Continuing from last week, the families of are showing foreign families the different colors of Korea.
First, Yoon Hoo and his father Yoon Min Soo along with Ahn Jung Hwan and his son Ahn Ri Hwan are showing Chan and his father around the city of Seoul. They start the trip off with a city tour on a two-story bus. It’s a great time for everyone, because the Koreans feel as if they had never seen Seoul properly either. (People who live in tourist spots haven’t actually seen the touristy things, you know?)
The last stop is Korea’s famous shopping district, Dongdaemun. The Korean fathers buy hats for Chan and his father as gifts.
Apparently, Dongdaemun also has rides. Ri Hwan is too short to get on, but Chan and Hoo give quite a show while enjoying themselves.
The fathers are too busy laughing at them…
…only to have the tables turn when it’s their turn on the ride.
Richard and Avery are on a trip to the countryside, along with Sung Dong Il and his daughter Sung Bin and Jung Woong In‘s daughter Jung Se Yoon. Fittingly, they go to the rice fields for the ultimate rice experience: reaping the rice themselves.
Afterwards, the girls receive ingredients for dinner from the townspeople. One grandmother is particularly kind, giving Avery the proper “Korean grandmother” experience. (As in, she kept feeding them.)
Xavier and Mia have always wanted to travel to a South Korean beach; last week they got on a boat and caught octopus. When they retire to their home for the night with their travelmates Kim Sung Joon, his son Kim Min Yool, Ryu Jin, and his son Lim Chang Hyung, Kim Sung Joon is out like a light for a nap. Ryu Jin takes this opportunity to plan a surprise birthday party for him. Mia and Min Yool show off their amazing acting skills, while Chang Hyung almost ruins the whole thing with his… adorable acting skills. Ultimately though, the surprise party is a success!
Ryu Jin jokes that they really woke Sung Joon up so he could cook dinner, which turns into a France vs. Korea cooking contest. The two Korean fathers are the worst cooks among the regular cast though, so Xavier wins with his omelette hands down. Nonetheless, the dinner is deliciously consumed by everyone.
There are a mountain of dishes as a result though. The six play the noonchi game to decide who will be washing them. Xavier and Mia catch on fairly quickly, but in the end, Xavier and Sung Joon lose together. However, everyone ends up doing them together, which is so heartwarming–one of my favorite things about this show.
Richard and Avery’s group have a delicious looking dinner of pork belly BBQ with the ingredients they obtained. (I wish they had shown this; I love watching the children eat because they eat so well!) As they are getting ready for bed, Sung Dong Il fully recognizes cultural differences when Richard keeps wearing shoes inside the house and Avery walks outside without them. At the end of the night, the three girls fall asleep to Richard’s warm voice reading them a storybook.
Back to Seoul: Chan and company stop by a noraebang–a karaoke place. The children ; Ri Hwan really feels it.
The episode ends with their arrival at a traditional Korean house hostel, their place for the night. Next week’s preview promises the rest of their adventures, and they look just as exciting and adorable.
This episode is packed full with cute… and dumb. Take a look, especially for a laugh at the fathers’ English skills and awe at the children’s English skills. (Seriously though, Korean education and its emphasis on English really shows through these kids–wow!)
Korea’s top talent agencies are revving up to drop some fresh acts onto the K-Pop scene, but we want to know which upcoming idol group’s debut you’re looking forward to the most.
Check out the nominees, and vote for your favorite below!
Lovelyz
Woollim Entertainment knows boy bands, having found immense success with idol groups Infinite and Tasty, and now the agency is sending out a league of lovely ladies to take on the K-Pop scene.
Woollim recently revealed the members of its first eight-member girl group Lovelyz and announced the group will be kicking off its debut with a showcase on November 12 before the album drops on November 17.
Will Lovelyz spearhead a new invasion of girl groups?
SONAMOO
TS Entertainment, the home of Secret and B.A.P, also announced it will be debuting a new girl group, and the fans are getting involved.
The agency has been revealing the members of its latest secret weapon SONAMOO one-by-one via the group’s official fan café, most recently asking fans to choose a stage name for the fourth member.
With seniors like Secret and B.A.P, SONAMOO is expected to shake things up in the K-Pop industry.
Mad Town
While the future of MBLAQ remains murky, J.Tune Camp is hoping to refuel the K-Pop scene with Mad Town, who made its debut just last month.
The seven-member idol group has been introduced to fans as a hip hop group with top notch performance skills who also know how to party hard – which leads us to believe that Mad Town will have no problem winning over K-Pop fans.
Mad Town is already knee-deep in promotions – and you can bet on the boys to be at Mwave’s MEET&GREET on November 5.
iKON
Finally, fresh off of the successful debut of Winner, K-Pop powerhouse YG is showing no signs of slowing down, set to unleash new idol group iKON.
iKON has already amassed a tremendous following of fans via Mnet’s Mix & Match, with four members already confirmed as members through the survival program and three to be revealed in the coming days.
Although the idol group hasn’t made its official debut yet, iKON is already making a lot of noise which is expected to only get louder as it enters the K-Pop competition.
