Oppa Thinking basement gets heated up with Wanna One members.


MBC with its new variety program Oppa Thinking 오빠생각 has been inviting a handful of guests to the studio. The first few pilot episodes featured two teams with Super Junior's Lee Teuk leading Team 1 and Lee Sang Min leading Team 2. 



Other cast members include gag man Heo Young Kwan, actor Lee Kyu Han and emcee Tak Jae Hoon. First several episodes featured actors such as Yoon Gyun Sang, Chae Soo Bin, idol groups Winner, Twice, AKMU, FT Island, Red Velvet, BTOB members, 2AM members, G.O.D's Park Jun Hyung, Big Bang's Taeyang and Sechs Kies.

The recent episode somehow managed to invite the nation most voted new idol group Wanna One. What else are we talking about? It's everyday featuring Wanna One in most programs. They are the most scouted people in South Korea after a bunch of trainees been grouped together to form a new group under the program Produce 101 which spitted out I.O.I. Oppa Thinking members started clapping happily upon seeing the members. 

Kyu Han pointed out the guys must be so busy with tons of schedules lined up however they are here to promote themselves especially in variety programs. They are still newbies and needed to learn. Super Junior's Eunhyuk mentioned it cannot be mastered within a day. Tak added more 'fuel' by stating one needs at least 25 years to get used to it. LOL!

The casts complimented that Kang Daniel is the most voted popular member for the group earning him no#1 spot in the centre. For most of episodes of Produce 101: S2,  earnestly Park Ji Hoon- a former child actor stands a high chance, somehow he dropped his position to 2nd rank on the last 2 finale episodes. After all it was a survival program, Ji Hoon knew Daniel will be the winner due to his dancing skills, charismatic image. He mentioned it was a sea of Daniel's banners among the audience. Eunhyuk and Tak reckoned Ji Hoon must be pissed off seeing the audience were mostly rooting for Daniel. 

They started laughing when Kim Jae Hwan who took the 4th spot was a former busker in Hongdae but he is the main vocalist of the group. He didn't expect to win at all but was extremely grateful he was in top 5. Hwang Min Hyun, a shy former member of NU'EST gained a spot for his looks and talent. Lee Dae Hwi- a JYP trainee admitted he was uglier than other contestants, but above all he was so hardworking and talented too. Above all Ji Hoon is the one who made them famous because of his trademark of 'I've saved you in my heart' and wink. However he isn't a cutie pie as everyone thinks...in fact he has stronger legs and even beat Daniel in thigh strength games.  

Promoting themselves in a video is important for idol groups. Their fans have send through
messages requesting Wanna One to record a wake up message. Daniel's message sounds flirty, Ji Hoon's was innocent, Min Hyun's somehow became a hangover wake up message call, Jae Hwan's was simple and short while Dae Hwi was meant for men- shouting to wake them up. More requests came in asking the members to sing, dance and do weird things. Heo and Yang were envious of Daniel's height as he is 180 cm tall. His long legs and limbs help him to rock the basement when he danced to Chainsmoker's song and also EXO's Growl.

When asked their reactions from female and male fans to where Min Hyun said it's quite interesting to see a variety of faces out there. Their first performance in the Sky Dome with 20,000 fans made them felt unreal. There were male fans screaming Daniel's name in deep low voice which has definitely gained his attention. Hah! Eunhyuk managed to have a video call with SG Wannabe's Lee Seok Hoon who is Produce 101:S2 vocal trainer. He continuously praised them for their diligent ways and mentioned they will do well in no time. 

The main highlight was everyone gets a chance at the dance floor to flaunt their dancing skills. Of course OB team dancing skills were nothing on par with the new idol group. Who can resist Daniel has certainly won over the noona fans and female writers with his trademark of thigh sweeping dance from his performance 'Open Up' in Produce 101. Eunhyuk has proven he's still SuJu's best dancer after military... everyone was satisfied to be dancing with their hit song Sorry Sorry. 




Games were played where divided to OB and YB Team. Old Boys team will choose their worst dancer in the group which is Tak to imitate the dancing for YB team to figure out. Of course the MV were played without music but the key point of the choreography is important.
Jae Hwan was booted out to imitate the dancing of the 90's for OB team. Surprisingly OB team fared so well...well thanks to Eunhyuk. Tak fared well too except he took a while to dance out SHINee's Ring Ding Dong because he was so stiff. Being a TWICE fan, immediately Daniel figured out the dance Signal even though Tak danced nothing like the MV. 

Next up was blowing out the candles by wearing an skirt. OB Team was devastated as they chose the wrong short mini skirts which gave them low chances to blow off the candles.
Dae Hwi tripped on his hanbok skirt, Daniel blew out 13 candles in his long skirt while Ji Hoon did the best in blowing out 18 candles with his apron. OB team struggled because they did so poorly. After much evaluation, both teams won and they chose Ji Hoon as the MVP for the day.
