What's your prediction about 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships?

I heard the idol stars have practiced so hard.

I think you'll be amazed and have fun while watching.

Right. We also need to focus on finding rising stars.

- You're right. - New generations will pop up.

When did you participate in track and field, Leeteuk?

I participated in the 1st and the 2nd championships.

- When were they? - What's today's episode?

It's been so long.

- Is it the 15th championships? - Then it's 15 years ago.

No, it's not 15 years ago.

- It was broadcasted twice a year. - Right.

It was seven years ago.

- It's about 7 or 8 years ago. - Yes.

Goodness, they will find out how old I am.

Were you a rising star in track and field back then?

- I participated in race walking. - Race walking.

I didn't get first place in race walking,

but my name was searched the most...

since I had so much fun.

It's because you looked so funny.

Right. I looked funny, but I was fast.

I see. You started it in the beginning.

- Then Jo Kwon became famous... - Right.

- and so on and so forth. - Yes.

I wonder who will be the rising star this year.

- Please look forward to it. - I'll look forward to it.

Idol stars will play a fair game.

It's 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships.

The games officially start now.

Let's go to where they play bowling.

When I say, "Hello, bowling alley,"

then you know what we planned.

Nayeon, you will go.

- Nayeon, you can come forward. - She'll stand in the front.

Hello, bowling alley!

Hello, viewers. It's a special show for Chuseok on MBC,

2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships.

Today, a sports game that's like a war will be played here.

Nice to meet you. I'm Boom.

We're here to give a commentary on bowling.

This lady has a reputation...

for knowing how to bowl. She's on my right.

It's Yu Ra of Girl's Day. It's great to see you.

Hello, I'm Yu Ra of Girl's Day.

It's good to see you.

You're famous for your bowling skills among idol singers.

People know me as a huge fan of bowling.

How well do you bowl?

I usually score over 180 points.

I haven't done it in a while, so my scores fluctuate.

You kept saying that if it were an individual game,

- you'd win no matter what. - Right.

When did I say that?

- I heard you say it. - Me too.

- You did say so. - I'd like to try it.

He's joining us today as another commentator.

He's part of Team Unemployed from Bukgu, Daegu.

This is Commentator Choi Min Hyuk. It's nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Commentator Choi Min Hyuk. Good to meet you.

First of all,

it's a team called Idol Child.

Yang Se Hyeong and Shindong are getting ready.

Please welcome them.

(Team Idol Child: Yang Se Hyeong, Shindong)

Yang Se Hyeong and Shindong.

He's carefully wiping the ball as if it's a baby.

It's great to see Shindong, right?

Are you a singer, Se Hyeong?

I did some research, and he released an album.

- Really? - Yes.

- With BewhY, - BewhY?

- he sang a song called "Hooray". - "Hooray"?

- He sang as a comedian. - "As a comedian"?

He meets the requirements.

He was part of different singing groups.

(Team Idol Child and Team Wanna One)

Mr. Choi, you mentioned that starting today,

- scores are calculated differently. - Yes, it changed.

I heard it changed.

Those who often play bowling know.

Totaling scores is very difficult.

Scores are calculated differently since this year's Asian Games.

It's called Current Frame Scoring.

A strike is always 30 points.

A strike is 30 points.

If it's a spare, you earn 10 additional points.

For example, if you get a strike in Frame One...

and if you knock down seven pins...

in the beginning, it's seven points.

- Seven points. - If you get a spare...

with the rest of the pins, you earn 10 more points.

Scores are calculated this way. It makes the game lively.

The most satisfying part is a strike.

- It's a national holiday, Chuseok. - Right.

The players should keep getting strikes...

for everyone.

When you hit a strike, the sound is different.

- It's easy to recognize. - Can you make it?

- The sound of a strike? - The sound of a strike...

is like an explosion.

(An unpredictable competition starts.)

MBC Idol Star Athletics Bowling Competition.

Let's start with the men's game.

Men's bowling game.

Players are getting ready for the first round.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

The pillar of Super Junior, Shindong, has started.

He's not wearing a wrist band.

He's about to play with bare hands.

He's confident about his wrist strength.

Here goes Shindong.

- That was bold. - He made a bold throw.

That was bold even though it was heavy.

- It was a good throw. - It was.

His throw was so strong...

that the ball fell in the middle.

Owners of bowling alleys won't be happy.

He did well.

Pay attention to Yang Se Body.

His pose is unique.

It looks like he's playing curling.

He starts very low.

Watch him carefully.

Seriously.

Watch him carefully.

Seriously.

He kneeled down. It went in.

That was impressive.

He got a spare.

He bows modestly.

Let's body, come on body, it was Yang Se Body.

He got a spare.

I've never seen anyone play that way.

It's not only his throw,

but he sat down on the floor.

Now it's time for Wanna One's bowling skills.

I heard their skills improved by a lot.

Next up is Ha Sung Woon.

He's getting ready for his first shot.

As expected, Sung Woon doesn't stick in his thumb.
