"I love you, Dad" – From Kisses to a Single Grain of Rice: The Tearful Dinner Struggle on 2 Days and 1 Night

The cast of the wild road variety show "2 Days and 1 Night Season 4" was placed in an extreme situation of choice regarding their dinner. After the final winning team was decided through a physical fitness game, those remaining stood once again at a crossroads of fate regarding the meal menu.

Record-breaking and tearful fitness tests, the team that seized victory

The physical fitness game for dinner began with intense movement from the cast members. Yeon Jung-hoon showed overwhelming skill by setting a record of 1 minute and 8 seconds, and in the turn of Kim Seon-ho that followed, a record of 32 seconds was produced. Kim Seon-ho expressed intense emotions in the video, saying, "I really went through that. I did it while crying, really." After a fierce battle that continued through the final round, including cardiopulmonary endurance tests and a milk carton stacking game, the 'Euddeum' team finally secured victory and obtained the dinner rights. In the milk carton stacking game, the method involved one representative from each group shouting "The teacher is coming" for as long as possible while two team members stacked the milk cartons high together, and the game ended as soon as the sound stopped.

Gangdoenjang and Kimbap, conflict in front of a bountiful menu

The dinner given to the winning team consisted of various menus. Dishes such as cabbage served with gangdoenjang (strong soybean paste stew), food utilizing spring aster scaber, grilled deodeok, and meat were prepared. In particular, marsh snails were included in the gangdoenjang, adding flavor to the table. The winning team expressed satisfaction with the menu, but for the team that could not eat, a situation continued where only seaweed and rice were provided. As a situation arose where they complained of dryness because there was not enough gangdoenjang for the kimbap, the cast members who wanted to eat more faced a mission where they had to call their parents and express affection.

"I love you, Dad" – Tearful filial piety calls for a single grain of rice

The mission presented to supplement the insufficient meal was to call their parents and say "I love you." The cast members who wanted to eat more had to express affection to their parents. One cast member called their parent, said "I love you, Dad," and even made the choice to request "a kiss for Dad" to get additional food.

The father who received the call responded, "Dad loves our son very much, too." In the video, Moon Se-yoon showed consideration for the father who might have been woken up by the late-night call, saying to the father who received the call, "Oh no, I hope you don't wake up." Amidst the intersection of desperation for rice and filial piety toward parents, the cast members ultimately decided the direction of their dinner through the medium of a phone call.
