He began by singing “I Like That,” the lead track from his recently released solo EP “S.O.L.”

“I am grateful that I could return to the program after less than a year,” said the former Up10tion member.

Seungyoon congratulated him on debuting on his own and asked him about becoming popular on entertainment programs as well.

“I currently am appearing in two shows as a regular,” said Lee, expressing his thanks for the opportunity. He not only wants to be a good singer, but also become a familiar face with the older crowd through variety shows, he said.

“It has only been a week (since the first solo EP has been released) but it feels like quite a long time,” said the singer. It had felt more like six months, as he had been spending the time so fully and there was so much he wanted to show fans, he explained.

Leader S.Coups made sure the staff would not change their minds while DK asked suspiciously whether there was a candid camera on them, lying in wait to reveal a prank.

“What should we do? I can’t think of anything when I am actually given the freedom,” said Wonwoo.

Jeonghan and Hosi strolled along the huge campsite, suggesting the idea to stash some cash and make the bandmates run around. DK and The8 ran into Doori, a resident dog, and joined S.Coups to beg the dog to play with them -- only to be turned down by the canine.

But they found a kitten that willing and ready to play. The8 held the kitten in his arms cuddling it, scratching the feline’s belly and wiggling his shoelace above while the others cooed and took pictures.

“Look! It’s so cute it might have come out of a cartoon!” they gushed.

“It has almost been a year,” said JR, asking after his best friend how he had been doing. Taeyong said he had always thought of JR and the latter replied that he was touched.

“I thought it would be nice to share some food with you for our first session together,” said JR, bringing in unique sweets that included edible color paper and UFO-shaped candies. Taeyong in turn prepared a couple more “normal” snacks: bread from his favorite bakery and fried chicken.

“We are not going to gobble them up, though. We will be doing an ASMR,” said JR, gesturing toward a special microphone to pick up even the smallest sounds.

“I have never done this and wanted to give it a try,” said Taeyong excitedly.

The pair agreed to go first with colored sheets and their eyes went wide at the sound it made.

“This really sounds like we are doing this in our ears,” said Taeyong.

Jinyoung led the camera to Yugyeom, who was shooting his scene on the other side of the window. The youngest member smiled sheepishly when Jinyoung pretended to take pictures of him with his hands framed like a camera.

Having changed into a dark purple suit, Yugyeom admitted he was conscious of the fact that he was not wearing anything under the jacket.

“This is the first time I am doing this (concept) and I was slightly embarrassed. But at the same time I had a little fun,” he said. He added the had recently lost a couple kilograms, but he wanted to look sharp at least for the suit-wearing scenes and had not eaten anything that day.

Mark donned a white suit, telling the camera that the dandy outfit must have brought out his dreamy expression.

“Jackson is smirking behind the camera,” he said with a smile.

When asked which of the bandmates he thinks goes best with the album’s concept, Jackson hesitated before saying, “I don’t like to divide the team into single members. It suits all seven of us.”
