[CODE NAME: MR.Camel] [CODE NAME: MR.SamSam] [CODE NAME: MR.Like a Gentleman] [CODE NAME: MR.TeaTime] [CODE NAME: MR.Human Balloon] [CODE NAME: MR.Bindaetteok] [CODE NAME: MR.Thomas] [CODE NAME: MR.Gillette] [Busters temporary headquarters]
Boss! [This video was filmed before social distancing stage 2 was activated and we conformed to the guidelines for prevention of spread of COVID-19.]
- Hey boss!
- Shouldn't we move? [Immersed]
When do we set the bomb? [Looking away]
What a weird concept. [Cozy headquarters]
Our office is like this and this is why rats keep on stealing our grains. - A new member will join our team today.
- Who is it? [Perfect timing just like it's scripted]
He is swaggering, huh? [Solemn]
I'll stop here. They are too far away. A Wi-Fi handshake? Hello You are in a higher rank than us, huh? [Territorial]
You are in a higher rank than us, huh? Nice to see you everyone, I am a new... [Double characters]
Today I will make an emergency briefing - for today's mission.
- Mission? [Immersed]
Are we setting a bomb? You called all of us for what? We are busy men! The country is suffering [Suddenly like a broadcaster]
by rats. The rats are eating up 1.8 million seom(sacks) of grain a year. [Seom: A sack made of straws to hold grains / The unit of volume, used when measuring the volume of grain, powder, liquid, etc.]
Seom?! It is a great amount that can feed the citizen in Seoul for two months. It is on the actual newspaper. For real? In this grain storage there are four rats causing major dangers. Four rats? [Story of when I saw the rat]
- I saw the rat earlier.
- So did I. One of the rats was named Hojui. [Everyone saw it]
- Another one was WOOZUI.
- Right, WOOZUI. I will start to brief the deratization mission "Mouse Busters". This is the first picture of the rat we have to catch. [So lively to be in a serious mission]
Who? Wen Junjui Jun (actionist) / Good at making faces that show this is nothing, good stamina] He looks half asleep, his eyes are not fully opened. He couldn't open his eyes. [Excited]
He couldn't open his eyes when coming to work. He will be the easiest to catch today - Maybe he would be sleeping now.
- That is what I expect. Jun (actionist) / Good at making faces that show this is nothing, good stamina]
The first feature is that he is good at making faces showing this is nothing. He is very good at eating spicy food. Even if something is very spicy, he can pretend like it is not. It is not spicy at all. Has a cool cheek. Jun (actionist) / Good at making faces that show this is nothing, good stamina]
Good stamina. He is an actionist. Maybe for this guy, S.COUPS [Power character1]
or [Power character2]
Vernon? [Gag character]
or DK. Members who are strong will have to catch him. [Rank 13th]
I am strong too! Alright, pocket your pride. The second rat. 'Hojui' which Jeonghan mentioned earlier. Hojui x2 [Making a great joke]
Hojui looks very naughty. [Pretending not to hear]
Respond to my joke! [Come on]
What did you say x2 I couldn't hear you. I'm watching it. What are you watching? We can't see it now. [Needs to have 8.0 eyesight] This guy [Hoshi (actionist) / Easily gets excited, easily gets provoked]
is truly an actionist. He gets easily excited so we can catch him if we provoke him well. [Expert at Hojui]
I will provoke Hojui. What is his feature? Easily gets provoked. Provocation! [Here goes my humor]
Then we can easily catch him x2 if we lure him with cheese. [Checking others' reactions]
- Good x2
- Good? What does he like? [Expert at Hojui]
- He likes compliments.
- Right. [Expert at Hojui]
Hoshi likes to dance. [Giving out work]
Then you take on him, Dino. [Grabbing it]
I can dance in front of him and lure him. Good x3. Courtship dance. Then Joshua can do Tornado DDT at the back [Fancy] I hear Tornado DDT for the first time in a long time. Followed by chokeslam [Chokeslam]
- One two three.
- One two three, got it? Good x2. Next rat. The next rat is?! [Kind]
Which rat~ [Wonwoo (Quick thinker) / Very calm, need to attack when being careless] He is like an ambush among the rats we have to catch. [Stuttering for pretending to be smart]
I think he is the smartest rat. He pretends to be smart but I can't really tell if he is smart. [Agreeing]
I agree. [SEVENTEEN so devoted to each other]
Criticizing just because he is not present. He always talks [Wish list]
as if he is on top of us, but we are above him, alright? I've heard he runs fast. [Criticizing till the end]
He says he is good at running. The last rat. - The last rat is WOOZUI~
- WOOZUI~ [WOOZI (Quick thinker) / Very good at noticing, actual strategist] He is tough to catch. [Criticizing endlessly]
He is stubborn. [Rumor that WOOZI is the Olympic Highway]
He is the Olympic Highway at 7pm. [In detail]
Between Han-nam bridge and Dongho bridge. Normal harassing tactics won't work on him. [Adding up]
So stubborn. Maybe he can be the last rat to catch. When he gets worse, we may get tired of catching him. [Reasonable suspicion]
I think you just hate WOOZI. DK Until when are you going to keep suffering? You've suffered a lot, DK, huh? I cried a lot when I was a trainee. Oh my, you are saying it now, huh? Strategist, there are more of us, right? - Right, we have the advantage with numbers.
- There are 4 rats. - 4G (Korean pronunciation of rat).
- LTE. [Naturally moving on to humor]
- 4G is really fast.
- Right. The rats have special skills. [Theater tone]
- Special skills?
- Special skills! [Seems to be good at making ppt]
Ta-da. [Special skill]
[Summoning all busters to headquarters (3 times at max)] We should gather here when the rats use it, right? Second [Saving a rat in the cage from a distance (3 times at max)] How far? [Far enough]
Just far. [Chinese characters genius]
Far Won. The last [Escaping out of the cage with all rats in the cage (once at max)] With all rats? For example if there are 3 rats, and one of the three has this power, then he can take other friends with him out of the cage. [In good condition]
What should we do? [Special skill]
[Summoning all busters to headquarters (3 times at max)] [Saving a rat in the cage from a distance (3 times at max)]
[Escaping out of the cage with all rats in the cage (once at max)] - Wouldn't the last power be like this?
- Like what? When the busters win, they can change the role. [A sudden 007]
Making a buster a spy every time... [Thinking]
That's possible. - You are a spy, right?
- Not me! [SEVENTEEN trust each other]
- Not me x2
- It's you, you bastard! It will be shocking if it is true. [Telling the way of catching the rats]
We will give you color water guns. You should color the rats' bellies. [Tension up]
It sounds so not fun. Agent Xu Minghao is so excited today. You are very active today. [Proud]
Good, Minghao, good. Good. [How to catch the rats: You can catch the rat when you totally color the belly with color water gun.] [Rules]
[2 hours of time limit, busters win when all rats are caught, when even one rat survives, rats win]
[Escaping and rescuing are impossible from 15 minutes before the end] We have to end this mission in 2 hours. [Pretending to be smart]
We have to finish it in 120 minutes. When we succeed, we can pour flour on rats. Flour?! However when we don't catch the rats, the rats will come to tease us. [Robot]
Horrible. So horrible. When doing the mission, don't call each others' real names. [Came to work together]
You shouldn't give out our information to the rats. There are rats remaining and we call each other with our code names during the mission. Now we will set the code name. [Code name setting]
First, Jeonghan. You should set a code name, Jeonghan. Any idea? Mr.Lazy. [The start of criticizing]
- Lazy?
- Lazy. [Angry]
I am not as lazy as you think. You are a quick thinker so Mr.Brain [Can't think of any]
Something that expresses quick thinker? [Native pronunciation]
Mr.Brain turn. Brain turn! x2 Mr.Brain turn Saepsaep~? Mr.Saepsaep - Saepsaep
- Saepsaep [Don't know what English name would be like]
Or would you go with SamSam, like English? SamSam, SamSam. Mr.SamSam? Hey Sam! Mr.SamSam S.COUPS. Mr.Camel. Camel Good. [Mr.Camel chosen]
OK now Dino x2 Mr~ Electronic razor Mr.Gillette! [Not an advertisement]
Mr.Gillette! [Mr.Gillette chosen]
[Joshua's code name contest]
It can be a sentence. Mr.Saves money everyday like this. Mr.Like a Gentleman [Mr.Like a Gentleman] - Like a Gentleman~
- Like a Gentleman~ [Vernon's code name contest] Mr. Pine cone? [Hate]
So cute~ No x2 [No cute things]
Are you trying to have a cute name alone? I am Gillette! Mr.Chew. [Theme song] On the lips Chu~ So good. Hey Chew Where are you Chew OK. DK. Bindaetteok that you made yesterday? - Mr.Bindaetteok
- OK, Bindaetteok. I can think of a name for THE 8. THE 8, Mr.TeaTime Tea Time, good! - Tea Time? x2
- You like tea time. - For Mingyu
- Mr.Mingyu [Vernon is Vernon] [Expressing Mingyu]
Long-headed grasshopper? Ah~ this - What is this?
- What is the word for this? [Level-1 in Korean]
Human balloon [Sounds cool]
Human balloon! [Mr.Human Balloon chosen]
[SeungKwan's code name contest] Mr.Thomas! [Thank you] Hey Thomas! [Choo-choo]
- I am coming
- Hey Thomas! Don't we get like walkie-talkies? No. No? Useless. [Talking with all effort]
Hey Gillette! If a rat sees me and I call out 'Gillette!' then the rat doesn't know who Gillette is. [Gillette is almost like a name]
- Oh OK x2
- I think they will know. The rats would be hiding and we'd call out the code names. [Pride in names]
Wouldn't they laugh? - Right.
- We could find them by their laughter. Then we would have to make them laugh a lot by Gillette. - Good, as we have code names, I hope you succeed in today's mission.
- Good! You can do it well, right? Let's cheer up. OK. Up or down? Up or down? - Up x3
- Down x3 Shouldn't we go up? Do whatever you want. Whatever you want. OK I will count one two. [Testing the teamwork of SEVENTEEN]
Three four [Teamwork]
Mouse busters! OK the teams have been made. [Boo Seungkwan's Cheonsangyeonbun]
Let's go catch them! [Race starts] Who is the drone director? Here he is. [Begging for the aerial view]
I am sorry but can you fly the drone higher? To check where the other members are. How high can it go? [Found a rat]
- Higher.
- What is it? Isn't it this way? This way? Guys! Why! Guys, go there to the end. To the end! - This way?
- Yes. Really far. - At the end?
- At the end. Yes. Good. They are all dead. We should go fast, right? Hold on x2. We should pick a place we will gather after we break up. You stay in the middle, I will go to the end. OK, I will search here. No x2. Do you want to search here then? I will stay here, they may come out. Do you know what I mean? I will find them quick. Stay there. Should we look from the closest place? - I think Hoshi might have hidden somewhere here.
- Yes. I think there's no one here. We only have to move around. [In front of the cage]
I think they're hiding somewhere close to here. If it were for me, I would have been in our car. - I would have hidden in the deepest place.
- Right. Hide well. I can see your hair [Horror edition]
I will cut it. This place is too big to look around. They can be in number 25. I think some will be there. Let's go. Duck x3. Someone's over there. There is a speaker here. There must be one in here 100%. - What if there isn't?
- Trust me. - There is a camera though.
- Someone's in there. Hey, I will go that way. [Searching separately] We are doing it again. It seems hard to find them but we should try. I think they went this way earlier... There's the rat! [Wen Junjui]
There's the rat! [Found Jun]
- He's there!
- Really? - Where?
- Hurry! Where is he? - Where is he?
- Hurry hurry hurry! - Where?
- Here! Get him. I'll go the other way! This way! [Vernon] We've shot him! There's the rat! Catch him! He's here! Why are you guys together?! We don't need to chase him anymore. We shot him. - Just grab him with your hands.
- Corner him! [Wen Jun Mouse escapes]
- Corner him!
- Where was he? We shot the gun and colored his stomach. [They mistakenly think that they caught him because they got some paint on him]
- We didn't kill him.
- But I saw the paint on his stomach. - We need to color all of his stomach.
- It needs to be completely colored. So we should've captured him. Find your partner again. [WOOZUI's view] Stay in twos. He's there! Where? He's hiding somewhere. He was here. He was here 100%. WOOZI was here. [Found Wonwoo] Oh my gosh he's so fast. Guys, come here! [Wonwoo] Wonwoo went that way. [Boycotting the chase]
Let's not do a chase anymore. [Got tired after 5 minutes]
How can we catch them? [WOOZI is changing his hiding place] [Found WOOZI]
I'll go. He's coming! Right in front of us! [Dead end] Get him! Get him! We need to catch him this time! Vernon, come here! We need to get him. Block him. The other side! Get him! He's here! Let's end it here! - Summon!
- Skill skill! [Special skill used]
- Summon
- Skill skill! Summon? What's that? - Bye bye.
- What do you mean by summon? [They've been summoned back to the Busters headquarters]
- Do we have to go?
- Yeah. - Okay okay.
- Let's go. [More than half of WOOZI's stomach has been colored]
- He used his skill once. So it's okay.
- Bye~ We need to move quickly. That's better for us. This is so tiring. - It hasn't even been 10 minutes since we started.
- This is hard. - But we made him use his skill once. It's fine.
- Right. We'll never be able to catch the rat when we're alone. WOOZI can use the summoning skill 3 times in total. Wow this is so tiring. You must be tired. Should we take a break here? Where are S.COUPS and Jeonghan? [Looking for Camel and SamSam] There's a drone here, so the drone director must be around here somewhere. He's probably controlling the drone nearby. [Recruiting the drone director into the Busters]
We need to find him. Where? - I think someone used the skill.
- Yeah. I think Hoshi is hiding somewhere where nobody knows about. [Refilling their weapons]
- He's somewhere where no one would expect him to hide.
- I think he's in a place like that. [Correct]
Are they having fun playing this game? [Lonely]
I feel like I'm a loner. It's so tiring to come all the way back here. - WOOZI used his skill.
- Only WOOZI used it, right? It's not possible for us to win this game. So let's just stop playing. Let's just talk for 2 hours and leave. [Started the chase again]
- Let's try to find them by using a drone
- We need to use the drone. - Follow me.
- Guys, look. We can see where they're hiding. Please put it up higher. Wow that's amazing. Could you shift it a bit to the right? Should we give our water guns to the drone director? DK, let's go. - We'll go look for them first.
- Okay okay. Let's be quiet and let's look around slowly while walking straight. If we find one of them, you can go after him and I'll go to the other side. I don't think anyone is here. No one is here. Don't you think we need to ambush them? - I think we need that.
- If we keep playing this game the same way we've been playing, we can only chase one person. - So WOOZI's skill is summoning, right?
- Yeah. [Scattering busters]
- If you find them, just yell at me.
- Okay! I want to catch Hoshi. - We need to find him, don't we?
- I think he's hiding somewhere no one knows about. [No one really knows]
I want to go out there and run together but I also want to win the game. He could be somewhere close. We have to take over the corner and shut the door. Then we need a plan. If he runs, we can't shoot him in the front because we're following him from behind. But breakout is also possible so... What? - What was that?
- I can hear yelling. What is the camera director doing here? [Found the rat] Hey! Over here! Wow he is so fast! Wow! Why is he so fast? Wow! Hey! Your hat! Why is he so fast! Get him X2! Get one! [Found out about the chase]
- Someone's running over there.
- They're running. What a fuss. They're coming from that way, so let's go up this way. Mingyu, go this way, and you guys that way. Let's get in here. It's a dead end. I think he could be behind there. Over here! Over here! Get him! Take a detour! [5 seconds before] [Wonwoo viewpoint / WOOZI's viewpoint]
Get him! Take a detour! [Wonwoo's tired]
Hold on. Around here! What? Here's another one! Get him! X2 - Why aren't you getting him?!
- We need to make him use that! [Blocking the escaping route] [DK, 10 seconds ago]
Great~ [Found him by chance] Yesss~ Bang bang bang bang - Summon!
- Okay! [Special skill used]
It must be hard for the staffs too. It must be hard for you too. [WOOZI's used his special skill] [Summoned to the Busters headquarter.]
Okay X2. You must be tired. How wet are you? [About 30%]
You block well. Summon! Summon! Oh~ It's really tough. WOOZI... he is bad at hiding. We've been summoned! We've been summoned. Don't run! WOOZI used it twice, twice! Good job! X3 - This is enough for the aerobic exercise today.
- Enough it is. Hoshi is still not here. Really. Where is Hoshi? Has anyone even seen him? - He must be hiding somewhere deep.
- That's what I'm saying! I really want to catch him. [Busters are roaming around Hoshi.]
Am I hiding too well? We need to set the rats' abilities. Living as a rat VS living with rats. We are the rats. Not exactly though... Anyways, we have to divide the skills and... Squeak! There's the mass exodus which you can take everyone out of the jail and three long distance escapes - and summoning!
- Summoning! Which you can summon them back to the headquarters. And when an hour's passed (secret ability) We have these four. [Secret ability] It's too good. Let's all lie. Teleport! Hold on! Let me teleport! Wait, it's my last skill. - Shield!
- Here You can't shoot me. Time warp! 3 seconds ago. Time warp! Absolute hearing! Absolute sight! Thanos! You guys are gone. The last skill is going to be... The 96s are really good at it, actually. Come to think of it, the 96s didn't get to gather well. What is the year of mouse? Kyungja-yeon? I know what suits for rats. How about we name our team 'No kidding'? 'No kidding' That's our team's name. 'No kidding~' Let's do this. - Have we started?
- Let's go! No!
Oh this is fantastic THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! You take my favourite line in SVT and make them mice running for their mousey lives?? THANK YOU GOSE!!!!!
Cackled hysterically through all the names in the beginning. MR THOMAS?? Shua you are so cruel! And Minghao on fire ragging on DK for not responding to his puns! And DK implying that Woozi made him cry during trainee periods lmaoooo he really was a strict senior. That scene where Scoups and Woozi made eye contact through the torn canvas sheet was so cinematic I loved it.
As much as I enjoyed this, though, I just know I would have been like Jeonghan calling for a time-out barely 10 minutes in. I can cycle for three hours but I canโt run for nuts. The 96-liners are FAST.
All the other camera directors must've been sooooo jealous of the one who had to film Hoshi lmao
Oh God.. I wish I had the power to give this brilliant show all the awards it deserves.
It's plain cruel to have to wait another week for more of this top-notch content. Kudos to Seventeen and their staff
The second I heard the Ghostbusters theme song I was on the floor laughing my ass off. This is quality content.
The poor cameramen must be tired chasing after them ๐๐
Okay, this is by far the craziest GoSe episode ever! They just keep outdoing themselves with the quality and scale of the show. The concept, the production, that sick intro, the gorgeous drone shots - it all looks so cinematic and badass. It feels like an unofficial sequel to Debate Night #2, where they discussed this very "deratization"! This is like survival + paintball (kinda) + hide and seek + plain old tag. If they have some mafia/spy shit next week, I will lose my mind.
I love the code names (Mr. Chew and Mr. Thomas!), and their hilarious briefing at the beginning. The chase scenes were so well shot, and the music really brought out the sense of urgency - reminded me of the hyenas from The Lion King zeroing in on their prey. I got a real sense of Seventeen's strength in numbers with this episode; those aerial shots were so good! We finally got to see 96z work together in this one, and I can't wait to find out what their secret ability is. The next episode is going to be extremely thrilling, especially since Woozi has already used 2/3 of his summons. Can't believe sloth Wonwoo outran all the others, and resolutely didn't let them get paint on him. The Gathering of The Mice at the end was just too cute, I love their dynamic. Monday can't come soon enough!
Edit: What was that gaffe when they first uploaded this episode? The video was private and inaccessible, until they re-uploaded it like, 10 minutes later.
I say this every week but this one is really the most legendary one of them all! From the very first second of the intro, the editing, and just every little thing had me in hysterics. 96 line as rats! The codenames! (I love how everyone had something weird and then there's Shua with his "like a gentleman" and no one contested that as being cute when they all pooh-poohed Vernon's original suggestion lol. Also Gilette is one of the best SVT jokes yet!) The fact that Hoshi is the only rat who never moved! (That's the kind of Hoshi move that makes so much sense in hindsight but which I could never have predicted.) DK and Minghao being so enthusiastic, it was super cute! Jeonghan giving up already - to be fair, he lasted much longer than I would have, that field is extremely huge. I respect the effort that went into this set-up, thank you PDs and staff for all your hard work running around this episode!
I'm wondering if that 'secret ability' Hoshi's talking about relates to the spy idea discussed at the beginning? Either way I can't wait to see how this pans out next week, this is amazing!
Whoever had this idea, I love you. Seventeen running around a warehouse site, with waterpaint guns, trying to catch the 96z who have skills in order to defend themselves.
Jun really got away quite well. I'm wondering who has which skill. We all know that Woozi has the summon to home skill (only one charge is left). But Im really curious which skill the others have, and what the last skill is. It just has too be very overpowered for them to keep it silent. Maybe a reset for all their skills?
Wonwoo is so fast! He did get saved by Woozi's second summon. It was only a matter of time before he was caught.
Hoshi is a mastermind at hiding. Lmao I wonder if they will find a way to lure him out of his hiding. With what they said about provoking him.
Aaaah it's going to be a really long week... I want the next episode already, this one felt way too short XD
Dino's code name as Mr Gillette my favourite continuation of the shaver joke so far
