Following three competitive rounds, where iKON members played different games such as tongue twister and slap-match, the fourth match kicked off at 3 p.m. with Donghyuk and Bobby serving as both the emcee and the judge. Donghyuk, who lost the third match, had to receive a penalty before starting the game -- he had to stretch his legs for 15 seconds, which looked very painful for him.

For the fourth round, Yunhyeong and Chanwoo played mini air hockey. The two stood on the either side of the small air hockey table, held their mini mallets and hit the puck to the other side.

It was an intense game with continuous shouting as Yunheyong and Chanwoo were vying to be the first to score 10 points to win.

After close rounds, Chanwoo won the ice hockey match, becoming the frontrunner of the whole tournament. When asked how Chanwoo felt after the victory, he kept looking at the scoreboard in awe and was speechless.

At 6 p.m., it was Yunhyeong and Jinhwan who served as the special emcee and the judge of the fifth match.

Yunheyong, who lost the fourth round also had to receive a penalty before the match -- to be tickled for 15 seconds. But he managed to hold back.

The fifth round was between B.I and Junhoe playing table tennis. Each player had high convictions that they will win the game. “I am the member of the national team,” said B.I., while Junhoe said, “I will crash B.I.”

For a warm-up round before the actual match, the two played flag games to test their ability to react instantly.

As for the real match, the two boasted their table tennis skills. But in the end, Junhoe won.

After losing, B.I. jokingly said that the broadcast was not fun.


“I won, thanks to the iKONIC (fan club). I love you,” said Junhoe.

Beauty YouTuber Mia went live at 7 p.m. from Sookmyung Women’s University neighborhood to visit different Korean cosmetic stores. She tried on different beauty products from stores like Innisfree and Aritaum and introduced some of her favorite items. She also made some purchase at these stores. Later, she sat outside on the side of the alleyway to do a makeup tutorial for the viewers.
