Lee Yong-jin wins water balloon mission after helper errors cause chaos

Lee Yong-jin secured first place in a water balloon mission on 2 Days and 1 Night Season 4 after coordination issues and mistakes by helpers caused a tie and unexpected reversals in the results.

The cast members of the variety program 2 Days and 1 Night Season 4 experienced intense confusion during a mission due to coordination issues with their helpers. A video released by KBS WORLD TV depicted a situation where the outcome of a water balloon mission was overturned due to differences in the cast members' skills and mistakes made by the helpers.

Disparate skills and unexpected reversals

During the mission, a noticeable difference in skill levels emerged among the cast members. While some members showed stability while catching water balloons, others repeatedly faced situations where the balloons burst or were not caught properly. In particular, when Gi-taek caught a water balloon and reversed the situation, cheers erupted on set, with mentions of it being the first reversal since senior Lee Yoon-seok.

The mission results were to be determined by the number of water balloons caught. However, unexpected situations where balloons burst caused confusion during the counting process. When the count for Lee Yong-jin and the opposing cast members resulted in a tie, the cast members increased the tension by suggesting additional ways to decide the winner, such as penalty exemptions or a water balloon penalty shootout.

Helper mistakes flip the match

The role of the helpers acted as a variable during the decisive moments of the mission. The flow of the mission was repeatedly interrupted as the accuracy and timing of the helpers throwing the water balloons failed to align with the cast members' intentions. One cast member expressed disappointment, stating, "You really never know if you meet the wrong helper."

The mission took an unpredictable direction as cast members failed to respond to the helpers' throws, or the water balloons thrown by the helpers headed in unintended directions. One cast member jokingly expressed frustration, claiming they missed a chance to succeed in the mission due to a helper's mistake, saying, "I met the worst helper."

Ultimately, after a fierce battle, Lee Yong-jin claimed first place in the mission. Lee Yong-jin secured the victory by successfully completing the mission in coordination with the helper. Meanwhile, the situation concluded with other cast members, who struggled due to coordination issues with their helpers, feeling regretful.
