DinDin, you were going through a lot of trouble. “I wish I was peaceful when I woke up.”

DinDin, who was criticized for sharply criticizing the players and coach ahead of the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup, appeared to reflect on his careless remarks.

In KBS2's entertainment show '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' (hereinafter referred to as '2 Days & 1 Night'), which aired on the 1st, the members transformed into Santa and Rudolph were depicted.

In last week's game, the members, divided into Santa and Rudolph, each played a game to protect their gifts. The production team prepared gifts for children and the elderly, and the members personally delivered them. In particular, Rudolph Yoo Seon-ho had to carry 150 kg Santa Moon Se-yoon, and Yoo Seon-ho regretted, saying, “It felt like lifting the earth,” and “I can’t deliver it within today.”

After distributing gifts to the residents, the members also talked about the gifts they each wanted to receive. At this time, DinDin said, “I hope that when I wake up, I have a peaceful and refreshing day without any worries,” showing that he was suffering greatly from the criticism he received for his World Cup remarks. The members laughed and said, “So you turned on the internet?”

After arriving at the base camp, the members competed against each other in a game of fortune and enjoyed dinner with the menu items they had each won. At this time, Jae-jin said, “One Bonghwa pine mushroom costs over 70,000 won. “810,000 won for 11 pieces,” he said, surprising everyone by preparing a casserole costing approximately 500,000 won.

Dindin, who was eating, asked Kim Jong-min for mushroom casserole, saying, “I can’t eat it without soup,” and when Kim Jong-min said, “Because it’s Christmas,” he was touched and said, “Santa exists in this world,” but added, “This may sound ungrateful, but please leave out the bok choy.” He said it and it made him laugh.

Bedtime fortune was a broomstick soccer game. When Moon Se-yoon asked a surprise question, “Dindin, it’s American football, what do you think will happen today?” Dindin politely put his hands together and said cautiously, “I think the team that did its best will win.”

Previously, DinDin was on the chopping block for a careless comment he made on a radio broadcast. DinDin, who appeared as a guest on SBS Power FM's 'Bae Sungjae's Ten' on October 24 before the opening of the World Cup, said about his expected World Cup performance, "If things continue like this, I think we'll end up with 1 draw and 2 losses. To be honest, I don't feel good watching soccer these days." He said, “I didn’t get the feeling that (Coach Paulo Bento) was watching the league so closely. Personally, I think they will raise their hopes by drawing 1 draw with Uruguay and then it will completely collapse like the World Cup in Brazil. They will run right away.”

Despite the DJs' efforts to resolve the situation due to his sudden remarks, DinDin said, "Actually, everyone thinks the same way. Don't you all know that the round of 16 is going to be difficult? I'm annoyed that people are saying things like they're going to go to the round of 16 without even saying it. Why is there a happiness circuit? “Why are you turning it around? How is this different from when we released music and said, ‘I hope we get first place this time,’” he said angrily.

However, after these remarks were met with criticism towards DinDin, he repeatedly apologized, saying, “I’m sorry. Korea is truly the best,” and “I’m truly sorry. Thank you so, so much. Good luck to the Korean national team.”
