You're watching 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships.

It is men's bowling finals.

- Right. - We only have the finals left.

Yu Ra is on site waiting to interview the players.

Hello, Yu Ra.

It's 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - Chuseok Special.

Who will have the gold medal around his neck?

The strongest male team in bowling will be soon decided.

(Super Junior, do whatever you want to do.)

First, please tell us how you feel to move on to the finals.

Well, a while ago,

I hit five strikes by chance...

and moved on to the finals.

(In the semifinals with SEVENTEEN,)

(Both Ravi and Ken are excellent players.)

(Ravi even does a powerful strike celebration...)

(that makes his opponents to lose their fighting spirit.)

I'll do my best as a front-runner.

When I first heard that Se Hyeong is my team player,

I thought I can just go and make people laugh.

But he's so good. He picks up every spare no matter what.

He lowers his body a lot when he plays.

(Se Hyeong's bowling posture was an issue in the semifinals.)

Look at him carefully.

He's almost...

(He looks like he's playing curling not bowling.)

Se Hyeong must have a callus on his knee.

- He knelt down. - It's like a curling game.

He bowled in a modest manner.

He threw the ball.

(He hits a strike when it's necessary.)

(They defeat Wanna One and move on to the finals.)

(They're not here to make people laugh.)

I'll trust Se Hyeong and do my best at today's finals.

What do you think about your team name, Idol Child?

Actually, I really like it.

You can see it as "Idol" and "Child"...

or "Idol" and "Weirdo". It could mean many different things.

My team name might be fun in a way,

but we get very serious when we play bowling.

So, our strategy for winning today depends...

not on whether we're doing good or not.

To psych out Ken...

is what we're going to do today.

We might play some tricks while we play,

but I hope Ken pulls himself together.

Lastly, there are a lot of fans here.

We'll see how you encourage your fans to cheer for you.

Let's listen to their cheering.

Are you ready, babies?

- Yes! - Yes!

Go!

(They scream as VIXX move their hands.)

1, 2, 3!

- Idol Child, you can do it! - Idol Child, you can do it!

(Se Hyeong doesn't want to lose in cheering.)

You work in perfect harmony.

You're doing great.

All right.

It's 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships - Chuseok Special.

Men's bowling finals.

I'm Yu Ra, casting at the bowling alley filled with passion.

MBC.

(It's a high-class match with no bowling pin left standing.)

(They keep doing splendid celebrations.)

This is 2018 Idol Star Athletics Championships bowling finals.

The finals will be held here in Hwanghak-dong stadium.

I heard that how we calculate the score in bowling...

is changed this year.

As those who visit the bowling alley might know,

it's very difficult to add up the score.

So, since the Asian Games,

- the game format has changed. - Right.

It's called "Current Frame Scoring".

You get 30 points for a strike.

30 points for a strike.

And you get additional 10 points for each pin for picking up a spare.

For example, you hit a strike in the first frame,

and you knock down 7 pins at your 1st bowl in the second,

then you get seven points.

And if you pick up a spare for the rest of the pins,

you get 10 points.

The game format makes the game very lively.

At last, Team Idol Child and Vixx,

Vixx and Team Idol Child will have their final match.

They definitely get the gold medal if they win this match.

They will get the gold medal.

Among the four of them, the one with the best individual record...

is Ken with 270 points.

What do you think about Ken's condition, watching him closely?

Shindong said everything depends on Ken's mental condition.

First of all, he said two fingers most important in playing bowling...

- feel very painful. - Did he?

Above all, his condition is not good with respect to physical strength.

So he needs to maintain his mental condition well.

However, they're idol stars who lead K-Pop.

They know exactly how they should look in this finals.

It's the finals. I wonder...

whether Team Idol Child will take the victory...

or VIXX will take it.

The game starts now.

Shindong is getting ready to go on the lane first.

- It's the finals. - Shindong!

He's not wearing a protector.

It means that he has enough strength on his wrist and fingers.

He threw the ball.

It's his first throw.

(One pin remained among that clatter.)

- 1 pin is left. - 1 pin.

- One pin. - His speed is the best.

It's the number 10 pin that Yu Ra hates the most.

(Will Se Hyeong pick up a spare again?)

Se Hyeong is ready.

Se Hyeong has calluses on his right knee.

- He's fine-tuning himself. - He's fine-tuning.

- It's difficult. - There isn't a lot of time.

- He threw it. - Oh, my.

- That's good. - Yes.

His aim was perfect.

He's the master of picking up a spare.

It's not easy.

It's not easy. It wasn't the opposite angle, and it was...

a one-on-one situation. It's hard to even for professionals.

It's a good start.

It's Ravi from Vixx that was amazing during the first round.

He's from Vixx.

Ravi is ready now.

- It's his first ball. - Okay, Ravi.

He threw it towards the outside lane.

- The timing wasn't enough. - Yes.

- He needed more friction. - Gosh.

It wasn't enough.

Yu Ra, how was this throw...

and how is the difficulty of picking up a spare for this?

Among all the splits,

you could say it's the easiest split.

He has to raise the ball and hit the pin two times.

Yes, two times. It's Ken's turn.

- Okay. - Okay, he threw it.

- It's good. - Okay.

It had a lot of hooks.

(Unfortunately, Vixx left some pins.)

- Okay. - If this happens,

they left two pins.

There's already an 11-pin difference.

They can catch up quickly if they hit strikes in the end.

They can catch up an 11-pin difference with a single strike.

Let's see if an extraordinary event happens.

Shindong.

Okay, I'm nervous.

- He threw it. - He has to aim for the middle.

- The ball bent. - It bent too much.

- Gosh. - It bent too much.

He threw it too hard because he was too confident.

- Yes. - He had bad timing,

so the rotation became weaker.

He couldn't throw it to the place he originally intended.

- Seven pins left. - Yes.

It became difficult for Se Hyeong.

- Yes. - Seven pins are left.

It's just like 10 pins are left.

- Yes. - He needs to be strong.

- He needs to be strong. - He hit the pins.

- The master of picking up a spare. - Gosh.

- That was close. - It's not easy.

- It's not easy. - No.

His direction was good, but it wasn't hard enough.

- That's right. - Se Hyeong's weakness is that...

- Power. - his power is weak.

- Yes. - His throws are weak,

so it's hard to hit the pins if there are too many pins standing.

It is VIxx's chance. Here is Ravi.

(People always expect a strike from Ravi.)

It's a chance. If he hits a strike, it will be a 10-point difference.

- That's right. - It will be 38 to 28.

- He threw it boldly. - It's bold.

- Ravi threw it. - Oh, my.

Go.

- Go. - He touched the pin.

He touched the pin.

The pin moved back and forth, but it didn't fall.

- Yes, it was close. - Yes.

- The rotation wasn't strong enough. - You're right.

It's Ken's turn.

- Ken. - Will he pick up a spare?

- Will he pick up a spare? - He threw it lightly.

- He pushed it lightly. - Yes, he pushed it.

- One pin is left. - He did a good job.
