I Am Ground (아이엠그라운드)

Koreans have always been known for their vibrant spirit.

There's a tale where a tiger and a bear, inspired by this energy,

yearned to become human.

With great perseverance,

the bear transformed into a woman named "Ungnyeo."

She married Hwanung, and their union led to the birth of Dangun.

Dangun championed the philosophy of Heungik Ingan,

which was aimed at entertaining the human world.

Now, in 2024,

this legacy continues as four men embark...

on a journey to spread joy and entertainment globally.

(The four members gather together for the first time.)

Hello.

It's so nice to meet you.

Hello.

So what is this show about?

I mean...

I only know about going abroad.

I was so happy to participate. I love going on trips.

I've been wanting to go on one of these days.

I travel on a very tight schedule.

I'm a textbook example of J type.

As my schedule is tight, I wake up really early in the morning on trips.

I have to see everything. I can't stand missing out.

Spontaneous ones? I really can't...

I find them difficult to deal with.

Sang Yeob.

- Hello. - Hi.

- It's nice to see you. It's been a while. - Hey.

My goodness.

- It's been a while, right? - Right.

Look at you.

You look so cool today.

- I worked hard dolling up. - How have you been?

Do you know your MBTI personality test type?

Are you a spontaneous Type P or a premeditated Type J?

- I'm P, how about you? - I'm J, which is premeditated.

That's why I always end up making a lot of detours.

If something doesn't work out, I just give up and try something else.

If I can't do something, I just change my plan immediately.

Really?

How are the rest of the members?

(While they're talking, the third one shows up.)

Hello.

- Min Gue! - Min Gue.

- How's it going? - Gosh.

We're pretty close.

Which are you, P or J type?

- I'm Type P. - What's Type P?

Spontaneous?

- Right? - Yes, right.

You don't think too much, right?

- You just do it anyway. - Yes. That's so true about me.

- Right? - It's so lucky to have Type J around.

They make plans for us.

What about you, Kwang Hee? Are you Type J?

You know how I usually travel, right?

I've traveled to Busan with Min Gue before.

- Busan? - About eight days.

That's right! It was so long!

We got some free time when we were in Busan together.

I wanted to go to someplace with a nice view, you know?

I planned things out quickly so we could enjoy ourselves.

I had everything organized,

but he suddenly said he wanted to buy a new phone.

And he just said a random phone store out of the blue,

claiming it was very close.

So I suggested he take the subway or taxi,

but he said we could just walk.

We had to walk about an hour, right?

I remember we walked for about an hour in Busan!

I regretted it.

I couldn't say anything because we weren't that close back then.

I just had to hold in.

- My feet hurt so much. - I was so angry.

It was about an hour and a half!

He kept saying, "We're almost there."

(While the J type vents old frustrations, the last person arrives.)

- It's been a while, Kwang Hee. - Dong Pyo!

- It's our youngest. - It's nice to meet you.

- He's an idol singer! - What should I do?

- It's so good. - Thanks for having me.

It was very rude of me to show up last, especially as the youngest.

- It's good to see you. - I'm sorry.

It's awesome.

How could you have such clear eyes?

I was so surprised.

- His eyes are shining so brightly. - Here he goes again.

You're so handsome, Min Gue.

I'd like to put my finger on his dimples.

Right?

He's good, right?

I really didn't want him to be in.

I wanted to nip him in the bud, you know?

I don't even want him to be mentioned because he's so good.

He always says things like these,

but he keeps sending me gifts via KakaoTalk.

- He's so kind. - He's a good kid.

- Are you an extrovert? - I'm an introvert.

(The only premeditated J type so far. What type of Dong Pyo would be?)

- Are you? - I'm INTP type.

- INTP? - Are you type T?

You don't look like J type.

Kwang Hee, you should just take off the mic and leave.

Thank you. What's this?

It's mineral water.

(His words covey precise and brief information.)

Goodness.

- Are you T type? - Thank you.

Well, I'm an emotional F type,

but people around me see me as a rational T type.

Is that so?

I could feel that he was Type T when he said it was mineral water.

- Type T is less emotional, right? - Type T people tend to lack empathy...

But I'm an actor.

He's scary, isn't he?

He's not joking.

(Please look forward to seeing their chemistry throughout the trip.)

How much do you know about our show?

I only know about my guarantee.

- But... - You're good.

- I don't know about my guarantee. - The guarantee was quite good.

We're going on a trip abroad in the show.

Our show's title is I Am Ground.

I Am Ground?

- I Am Ground - I Am Ground

- Introduce yourself - It's the game, isn't it?

(you must have played I Am Ground at least once in your life.)

(It's one of the most basic Korean games with a simple rhythm and easy rules. )

(But beware, if you miss the beat, you're out.)

We're curious if Korean games will catch on in foreign countries.

To find out, you're going to make friends through the games.

It's your job to figure it out.

(It's a journey to see if they can communicate through them.)

So it's a show about gaming.

(Following the global sensation "Squid Game,")

(Korean games are now going viral worldwide.)

(More and more people are beginning to enjoy these games.)

(with people from other countries as they do with us?)

(The list of Korean games that the filming crew has prepared.)

Catch a mouse, squeaks!

- "The Game of Fools." - There are so many games.

"Attendance Book?" Goodness.

Mona Lisa

"Mona Lisa?"

- "Turtle shell." - Geez.

"Zero Game."

"The Game Of Death."

Are these all games played around our country?

I didn't know, but Korea was crazy about games, after all.

Why are there so many games anyway?

- That's why we're so good at e-sports. - He's right.

(The youngest is stunned at the long history of Korean games.)

As we hang out and play games with people around the world,

we can befriend them, right?

I think it'd be great to have parties with them too.

What a blockbuster show.

(we'll make friends by playing Korean games.)

Let's enjoy!

(We're going to throw plenty of parties...)

(Awesome! Crazy! Let's get started with Korean games.)

(Now, we'll even take over the local pop scene.)

(An awesome party with I Am Ground awaits!)

Where are we going?

Our first destination is Greece.

(It's a country created and loved by the divine beings.)

(the glorious ancient culture is alive there.)

(how about we present some unique fun today?)

I love it. I've always been a fan of playing games.

Since they've already experienced our gaming culture...

indirectly through "Squid Game,"

I think they'll easily enjoy the games we've prepared.
