This world-renowned show gives idols an opportunity to showcase their hidden physical strength and the chance to interact with fans, as well as other groups, showing heartwarming bonds of friendship. Many K-Pop fans are rejoicing at the possibility of seeing their favorite idol group and biases participate in ISAC once again.So as we wait for ISAC Chuseok 2022, here are some iconic moments caught from the ISAC broadcast that you should definitely check out!
1. Red Velvet’s Irene Wins A Chicken Dinner
On the day of recording ISAC Chuseok 2018, MC Jun HyunMoo promised that he would buy chicken for all idols if one thing happens: that during the archery competition an idol scores a “perfect gold” bullseye, earning 10 points and breaking the camera lens. Despite being difficult for even professional athletes, Red Velvet’s Irene shows off her skills and does the impossible, earning a chicken dinner for all idols present. You can see the surprised look on Jun HyunMoo’s face and the utter joy of all the idol groups.
2. BTOB Hilarious Costumes
During ISAC 2016 Seollal, BTOB’s EunKwang and SungJae made a grand entrance as royalty and a horse. Fans and idols alike burst out into laughter as they watched EunKwang gallop majestically onto the field. Hopefully we’ll be able to see another hilarious entrance like this at the upcoming ISAC.
3. WJSN ChengXiao’s Rhythmic Gymnastics Performance
Many idols show off their athleticism during ISAC and amaze fans with their versatility. WJSN’s ChengXiao is no different! During the very first rhythmic gymnastics portion during ISAC Chuseok 2016, she gave a marvelous performance which stunned everyone. Fans were in awe of her breathtaking performance and many said that she looked like like a professional gymnast.
4. Doing Nothing Competition
At ISAC Chuseok 2019, the producers decided to give fans a hilarious treat: the doing nothing competition. It was funny to watch idols do literally nothing and attempt to keep a straight face despite being bombarded with distraction after distraction. This segment definitely deserves a watch and some laughs for its ridiculous concept. Do you think you could last and keep a straight face until the end?
5. Rui-san Bolt
Many idols are known to be quick on their feet, but Rui showed that she was just on another level! In 2017, Rui came out the gates running (literally), shocking the entire audience due to her insanely fast speed during the women’s 60m run. This earned her the nickname, Rui-san Bolt from the MCs. You can see the shock and admiration from various idols spectating from the sidelines.
6. SEVENTEEN DK’s Quadruple 10 During Archery
With their tight schedules, it can be difficult for K-Pop idols to put in even a quarter of the training done by professional athletes. But SEVENTEEN’S DK shows just how skilled he is by hitting a quadruple 10-point shot at ISAC Seolnal 2019 during the men’s archery competition. Despite his intense concentration and attention to form, DK makes every shot look easier than the last.
7. SEVENTEEN Members’ Vernon Phone Case
Sometimes due to various reasons like schedule conflicts or health issues, not every member of an idol group is able to attend ISAC. That was the case for SEVENTEEN, as members Vernon, S.Coups, Joshua, Jun and The8 were unable to attend ISAC Chuseok 2018. However, much to the surprise of fans, the members present were seen using the ‘Vernon phone case’. It also seemed that they were proud of it too, as they were caught showing it off whenever a camera panned to the members.
8. BTS Surprises During 400m Relay Race
BTS not only surprised the world by becoming top global stars, but they also surprised many at ISAC for their physical prowess. At ISAC Chuseok 2015 during the finals for the 400m relay race, it seemed as if B1A4 were set to win the gold medal. However, at the final leg of the race, BTS’ JungKook speeds ahead of the competition and takes the gold medal for his group. Seriously, what can these boys not do?
9. Battle Between Archery Goddesses
The archery portion of ISAC has provided fans with a numerous amount of content of their favorite idol groups. So who can forget this battle between two archery goddesses, Red Velvet’s Irene and TWICE’s Tzuyu. While both are known for their jaw-dropping visuals, during ISAC they become masters at archery, consistently landing high scores despite their tough competition. These two are seriously the definition of perfection. With ISAC Chuseok 2022 coming up, there are bound to be even more unforgettable moments and we can’t wait to watch them!
