The first half of “The Game Caterers 2 x HYBE”, divided into three parts, was released last week on Channel Fullmoon, with more to come this Friday. Participating HYBE artists include fromis_9, TXT, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN (Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, THE8, MinGyu, SeungKwan, Dino), BaekHo, Hwang MinHyun, and Lee Hyun. BaekHo, MinHyun, and Lee Hyun are grouped into one team - the “TT” team. Here are some of the most unforgettable moments from “The Game Caterers x HYBE” that we just can’t stop rewatching!
1. The Introductions
Before the games begin, there must be introductions. Na PD announces that he will play a parade song for every group, building the pressure for a grand introduction. fromis_9 goes away behind the woods to practice, TXT decides to go all in, ENHYPEN plans to be themselves, LE SSERAFIM bets their life on it, SeungKwan strategizes, trying to get information from TXT, and TT Team sticks with their legendary sunbae Lee Hyun’s iconic move from ‘You Are The Best Of My Life’. Needless to say, all the introductions were sights to behold.
2. Team Work Makes The Dream Work
The first game catered to HYBE is “Red HYBE, Green HYBE”, inspired by “Squid Game”. SeungKwan is assigned the role of the tagger, and he promises to be unbiased. The participants must follow the rules of the game, and while moving forward, they can collect drinks for themselves from the coolers and coffee station placed on the path. What no one expected was SEVENTEEN’s Joshua and THE8 heading straight for the coffee station and picking it up whole. When they notice fromis_9’s HaYoung in the same position as them, they propose carrying it together, and eventually, more and more players join in, including BaekHo, Hoshi, fromis_9’s NaGyung and TXT’s Huening Kai. Eventually, they reach the finish line and enjoy a whole table full of coffee. Truly, if there’s anything idol members know the value of, it’s definitely teamwork.
3. Sharing Is Caring
While there was an amazing variety of drinks up for grabs in “Red HYBE, Green HYBE”, the star of the show was the juicy, ripe, watermelon. LE SSERAFIM won two watermelons, thanks to Huh YunJin and Sakura, ENHYPEN got two, and SEVENTEEN got one. Before anything else, LE SSERAFIM cut up the watermelons into pieces to share with their seniors. MinHyun even gave them a Korean watermelon in return! However, when ENHYPEN cut up their watermelon and Ni-Ki took a whole half to TXT, his members quickly called him back so that they could cut them up first. However, in a playful “misunderstanding”, TXT thought they were taking it back. Poor Ni-Ki was adorably stuck in the middle, lost in translation. By that time, LE SSERAFIM dropped by with their watermelon gift, pleasing their seniors to the fullest. Next, the watermelon fairies went up to fromis_9, getting a big cheer in return. On the other hand, SEVENTEEN enjoyed their own watermelon, sharing some with TT Team. That’s not all! The watermelon winners also made sure to share with their staff members who were accompanying them as well as the production team. Talk about sweethearts!
4. TXT’s Huening Kai’s Flawless Impersonations
In the second game of “The Game Caterers 2 x HYBE”, each team is told to pick two players based on strength and intelligence. For the first race, players must run towards a line of papers with prompts on them, telling them to pick someone who they think fits the given description. At the end of the race, they must perform a related mission successfully to win. TXT sends BeomGyu for this race, who picks Huening Kai as his partner and comes in the first place. His mission was to get someone who can impersonate 3 people. Huening Kai got ready to prove his mettle and decided to do an impersonation of Togepi, Wobbuffet, and SpongeBob, eliciting applause and cheers from players and staff members alike. Everyone was in awe of how perfectly Huening Kai did the impressions and couldn’t help but express their wonder.
5. Kazuha vs. THE8
Finally, the biggest showdown of “The Game Caterers x HYBE” episode so far, Kazuha vs. THE8, was easily the most iconic moment in the entire first half. Kazuha was MinHyun’s partner, who picked her because his mission was to get someone flexible. He had noticed Kazuha’s exceptional flexibility during LE SSERAFIM’s introduction and was quick to make his choice. Even though Kazuha was on MinHyun’s team, she smartly made a bargain for LE SSERAFIM, deciding to split the prize equally between TT and LE SSERAFIM, if they won. Next, it was time to take on the challenge of limbo. With 15 years of ballet experience, it was unsurprisingly a cakewalk for Kazuha, but the competition got fierce as fromis_9’s Park JiWon and THE8 came forward to challenge her. Both succeeded at the 90 cm bar, so it was lowered to 85cm. Both Kazuha and THE8 refused to give up and passed this round too. The bar was once again lowered to 82cm. Kazuha removed her shoes, determined to win, and the victory was hers. Even then, THE8 didn’t back down, giving it a final try. However, this time, he could not get past the bar. Kazuha and MinHyun proudly took the prize, dividing it in half. Nevertheless, it was certainly a good fight. What was your favourite moment from “The Game Caterers 2 x HYBE”?
