KHD: How did you get writers from the other broadcast channels?
NA: Since we had so few people we reached out to people we knew.
KHD: All 3 of the channels?
NA: Wherever we could!
SUG: The assigned PD is purposely trying to appeal to Seunggi. You’re been with him the last few times! And why is the MBC writer with Seunggi?
KHD: They probably agreed to do this with~ If it’s Seunggi, then I’ll help you out.

…

KHD: Why did you apply for this trip?
MOM: Since we gave birth to a pretty daughter, for our second, we want a son like Seunggi, so we came to see him.

Seunggi was looking great, natural but stylish… I really notice his highlights now!

Omg, the momentary hair-tucked-behind-the-ear look~~~
Korean fans seemed to love the pretty look, but not really my style!

With the little girl (Taewoong ajusshi fan!) and the baby seeking an older brother like Seunggi!  Aw, she’s too cute!  When asked where her boyfriend was, she said there were too many boys to say!  Hahahaha.  I think Seunggi was probably trying to get her on his side after she surprisingly chose Taewoong over him!

The related BTS fan photo that was all the online buzz recently~

All the buzz because it was so natural and heartwarming (stuff Koreans absolutely love!).  Seunggi carrying little girl, both in their PJs, looking like a real daddy-daughter family getting ready for bed~!  Seunggi as a ‘딸바보‘  (dahl-ba-bo)!  Literally translates as ‘daughter dummy‘ but is simply an affectionate term to describe guys who are or would be great dads and totally cherish their daughters.

He also made headlines during the 1N2D Foreign Workers Special, peeling oranges for adorable Unisha!  Being a dahl-ba-bo is like all the rage among K-celeb guys!  LOL.  Something about guys with little kids = Awwwww!  LSGfan’s even got a post tag on for related Kids/Babies posts!  Because of course, Seunggi + Kids = LOVE!

Showing love and respect for the grandmas too…

Main camera didn’t catch this but hawk-eyed Korean fans of course didn’t miss it!  SO totally like upright, well-mannered Seunggi!  As the 90s grandmas and grandpas were about to enter, everyone got excited and the little kids were chattering and clamoring about and Seunggi looked over and smiled at them, but then reminded them to be respectful and Shhhhh… (Aw, Seunggi! Loves this!)

Ahhh, this Viewers Special is totally tugging at my heartstrings!~~

The sincere and realness of the fans’ love and in return, the members’ appreciation!  I’m sure it wasn’t an easy filming.  The 1N2D production team really out-did themselves!  Miss the older episodes too, but loving all the recent special episodes!
