DinDin's Playful Antics and Heartwarming Moments on '2 Days & 1 Night'

Singer DinDin playfully teased the production team on the latest episode of KBS 2TV's variety show '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4'. Previously, in December, Jo Se-ho had to step down from his regular appearances on shows like '2 Days & 1 Night' and 'You Quiz on the Block' following rumors of his involvement with gangsters.

On the episode aired on October 8, the five members continued their 'Lying on the Incheon Sea' adventure. The show achieved a nationwide viewership rating of 8.6%, securing the top spot in its time slot according to Nielsen Korea. A busking performance by Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and Lee Joon, featuring the song 'Amor Fati', reached a peak rating of 12.5%. The 2049 demographic rating also topped its time slot in the metropolitan area with 2.4%.

During the episode, the '2 Days & 1 Night' team was surprised by the appearance of DinDin's mother, Kim Pan-rye, who joined them for a dinner challenge. She prepared a lavish feast for the members, and they had to predict her actions to earn their meal. Out of five questions, the members answered three correctly, allowing three members to dine. Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and Lee Joon were chosen by roulette to enjoy the meal. Feeling sorry for DinDin and Yoo Seon-ho, who missed out, DinDin's mother won a game against the main PD to grant them dinner as well.

DinDin later discovered that the cost of the meal was charged to his personal card, leading him to jokingly complain to the production team, "Why was it charged to my card? I'm going to bill you for it." His mother humorously scolded him, saying, "You make a living thanks to KBS," drawing laughter.

After DinDin's mother left, the team engaged in a game called 'Midnight Bangpia' to determine who would sleep outdoors by the Incheon sea. The game consisted of four rounds, and only two members who chose the 'indoor sleeping room' could avoid sleeping outside. The competition was fierce as members strategized to swap rooms.

Yoo Seon-ho, who unexpectedly won the first round, swapped rooms with Kim Jong-min, who originally chose the 'outdoor sleeping room'. Thanks to Yoo, Kim entered the 'indoor sleeping room' and planned to win the remaining rounds to identify all members' rooms. His ambitious plan succeeded as he won all rounds, securing indoor sleeping with DinDin. Meanwhile, Moon Se-yoon, Lee Joon, and Yoo Seon-ho spent the night in tents by the sea.

The next morning, the members participated in a mission to find instant cameras hidden around the base camp and photograph each other's faces. DinDin, who took the most photos, secured an early departure, while Yoo Seon-ho claimed the last departure spot, leaving Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and Lee Joon to face a penalty.

The trio had to gather citizens at Eulwangri Beach for an impromptu busking session. After gathering 10 spectators, they performed Kim Yeon-ja's 'Amor Fati', ending their trip on a high note.

Throughout this journey, the '2 Days & 1 Night' team delivered laughter and entertainment with thrilling rides at Wolmido Theme Park, a fun wrestling match with Bupyeong High School's wrestling team, and a delightful dinner challenge with DinDin's mother. Viewers eagerly anticipate what new memories the five members will create on their next adventure.

'2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' airs every Sunday at 6:10 PM.
