I've enjoyed watching '1 Night 2 Days' and feel a sense of inner closeness with all the members.
During the episode, Lee Ki-taek and fellow new member Lee Yong-jin were tasked with a mission to reach Yangpyeong Dumulmeori first with two cast members each. Upon arrival, Lee Ki-taek expressed his enjoyment of the show and claimed to feel a sense of closeness with all the members.
He basically lies. When we met, he said he was most curious about Jongmin-hyung and me.
However, his statement was quickly met with playful skepticism. When asked by Kim Jong-min whom he felt closest to, Lee Ki-taek appeared flustered. Cast member DinDin then revealed, "He basically lies. When we met, he said he was most curious about Jongmin-hyung and me."
I did say that.
