[English]

I'm

on vacation!

That's a lot of plants

You're probably wondering where I am

This is my room

I used to work here when I was a kid

There used to be a mic set up here...

And here's a plane my dad drew for me when I was little... [Haha]

I'll take a walk around the neighborhood

and probably have lunch with my aunt

And maybe go buy a pair of sunglasses

I like

[Magic Boy Transformation]

Oh, this is a new bangle I bought

I've never seen one this expensive

It was 20 dollars

Oh

I meant 200,000 won

Look [Instant flex]

What's that? [Instant flex]

Guess

(MARTIN's older sister) 500,000 won

No, down

Then 120,000 won

Up

It was 200,000 won

Seriously, 500,000 won for this...?

(MARTIN's mom) I was shocked too

Please stop...

Okay, sorry

(MARTIN's dad) You put mango in his eyes?

I put it in myself [Haha]

I think I'll head to the department store

I don't think I'll spend too much

For the first time, I'll use my money

to do a bit of flexin'

Maybe...

That was so lame just now...

This is fly

This is unique [LOL]

[Unique angle]

What?

This is like

the early 2010s

Is it too much?

[Debating]

(MARTIN's sister) You like both?

I think they're different styles

-For different outfits -They are different styles

I'll give up on my wallet and get these

I'm scared

I've never spent this much

I've never spent this much [LOL]

You deserve it

To do a bit of flexin'

[Flexin' complete]

MARTIN is tired

Knocked out

Knocked out

Now, I just...

(MARTIN's sister) The noodles are good, try them

[Slurp]

(MARTIN's dad) At the airport you had a little taste of that kind of...

Yeah

How was that?

It's a very weird feeling

but at the same time you're so excited

Just seeing people becoming fans

I'm trying to really stay humble, but...

You remember

I was your first fan

I collected all the early stuff [LOL]

[Collecting bossam]

Our family's never been to an amusement park once together

I have a funny video of you and Mom...

(MARTIN's mom) I took you when you were little

-Don't you remember? -When?

[Video evidence]

I know this clip

You were so proud

(MARTIN's aunt) This...

You're both doing better than me now, but...

-No! -I feel like it [K-allowance time]

-No... -You paid for this meal too!

No...

I used the money Uncle sent me to shop today...

It's really okay

Take this

-Really? -Just this much

Thank you

Thank you

I'll use it well

So

I'm back at the dorm... Ah!

I'm back

home now

I'm going to wash up and sleep

I had such a fun day

I think I'll sleep without regrets

We'll be back at it tomorrow

We still have the "FaSHioN" and "JoyRide" music videos

We'll do our best for the rest

and get ready to hit the stage

I hope

I get another chance

to come back

That's all for today

Thank you

[The end of MARTIN's day off]

Hello!

I got a day off

[Glance]

So I'm on my way home

In the States...

(KEONHO's dad) Why can't you talk?

I've been writing lyrics

and speaking in English

all the time for work

My Korean's a little rusty

[Reasonable excuse]

At home

we have a dog named Cookie

It's been so long

I'm not sure if Cookie remembers me

[Cookie's memory check time]

Cookie!

[Cookie therapy]

Todaaay...

Today!

I'm buying earphones from the convenience store

I'm near Lotte Department Store

so I'll stop by there

[Entering the convenience store]

(Clerk) Are you looking for something?

Do you have earphones?

They're over here

[Out of stock]

They're not here [Out of stock]

-I'll come back next time -Okay

Goodbye

[Searching for another store]

[Second try]

[Got the earphones]

I'll go pay

[Hides camera]

[Back pocket view]

There are

a lot of people around here

So I'll have to

hide the camera a bit

[Spots a person]

[Hides camera]

I looked around a bit

but there were so many expensive things

I couldn't get them

I got a keychain

Everything else was too pricey so I couldn't buy it

[Vintage shop, the home of his soul]

In-N-Out

This is the fitting room

I don't think

department stores are for me

I bought about...

four pieces

I bought two pairs of pants

and two shirts

It was a 3+1 deal

So I bought three

and got one for free

[Medals clattering]

Medals [Medals clattering]

So many

I have a couple more at the dorm

What I wore for swimming

Arena

It probably

doesn't fit now

It's really small now

My school uniform [Middle school uniform]

[Middle school uniform]

[Classic school uniform pocket stash]

[Full uniform fit]

[And put it back away]

Yeah

well

that's enough dressing up

I'll now give you

a room tour

This is

a foam roller I used back when I swam

[This is me]

[This is me]

[This is me]

I'll be back for dinner

[Enters]

We're here to eat

(KEONHO's older sister) You fed him on purpose, right?

(KEONHO's dad) You have to eat this

-It's the best part -Yeah

Have this

-Huh? -This

Yeah

I loved those days the most

Back when you used to swim

you'd eat four servings of jumeok gogi by yourself

(KEONHO's mom) He really ate a lot when he swam

He'd eat five bowls of rice

Haha

From now on, even when times are tough

keep the mindset you had during those early morning trainings

I pushed you into the real world too early...

I'm going to cry again

What?

You two just listen to your mom

[A little awkward]

Did you just laugh?

Bye, Mom

My baby

-Yeah -Stay strong

-Bye -Let us know if you're sick or anything

Yeah

Bye

[The end of KEONHO's day off]

Hello

Why do I look like this today?

I'm on vacation!

But it's just for a day

It's not really a vacation

It's a day off [T_T]

[Happy but sad]

Since it's short I need to treasure it even more

and make...

the most of it [Hehe]

Today

spend

the day with me

[First, wash up]

It's been a while since it's been this quiet and I like it

[Can't hide the joy of being alone]

[Cool guy]

During the music video shoot

I watched a bunch of anime

There are quite a few I could recommend

But

a lot of anime end up with issues

So... I'm scared to recommend anything

So

I won't [LOL]

So I won't recommend anything!

Just know

that I watch anime [LOL]

I've got some time left

I'll lie down

What should we drink today?

Mmm...

Hmm...

Hmmm...

Minimum order...

5,000 won or less...

Okay, I ordered it

Today's

pace will be super slow

That's how days off should be

No, I can't fall asleep

The meeting's in 20 minutes

No...

It's not okay...

[Fighting myself]

No!

[Music video meeting]

Everyone

meeting's done

My OOTD?

Goes like this [Day off OOTD]

I'm

calling a cab now

Since it's hot

let's go with a lighter beanie

Does the cap look better?

Cap

[Cap]

I don't think this is it

I think the beanie's better

[LOL]

Maybe Carhartt?

Yeah, Carhartt's not bad

As expected

I can count on...

I can count on Carhartt

I'm off to the movies

so I'm going with a light vibe

Let's go

Hot dog [Snack 1: Hot dog]

Popcorn [Snack 2: Popcorn]

Iced tea, let's go [Snack 3: Iced tea]

Time to go in

I just

finished the movie

Ugh, the sun's strong

First...

There's something special about 4DX [A cinephile's movie review]

Of course, filming movies isn't easy

and it's something to respect

But...

Yeah

I'm not going to say

which movie it was [In conclusion]

I'm debating whether to watch another movie

or go somewhere else

Anyway

I'll see you again, let's go

This

I got it

for a pretty good deal

It was a very fulfilil...

It was a fulfilling day

I was thinking...

of going to the sauna

Nah

Lying here would be better

[The end of JAMES's day off]

(JUHOON) I'm home

That's a lot of plants

[Heading to a café with his parents]

Huh?

A rabbit?

There's a rabbit?

Wassup

Wassup, bunnies

They look happy

(JUHOON's dad) Don't film me I have publicity rights

Huh? Yeah...

(JUHOON's mom) "Lovely Runner" ["Lovely Runner" soundtrack is playing]

It's really good

Really?

You have to watch it twice

-The actors sing so well -I know

Is the bread good, JUHOON?

Hmm?

It... tastes like bread

I don't know, I just...

It's just normal bread?

Yeah

I like rice better

[Not saying he won't eat it]

When you go to New Zealand you'll get to see new stuff again

Right

They said I'm going to ride

a helicopter in New Zealand

When we...

go near the glaciers

Aren't helicopters kind of dangerous?

No... the odds were like

one in a million or something

[Not concerned]

Are you sure you can play basketball?

I don't mind

Me neither

[LOL]

Play basketball hard

then let's grill meat at home and watch TV

so JUHOON can rest up

Yeah

Then watch "Lovely Runner" with me

Son!

Nice

Ooh, the three-point line

Is the hoop closer here?

[Layup]

It's not that close

But now

I've gotten stronger

Right

You've improved

I could touch the backboard back then

I think JUHOON can reach it now

Probably

The backboard, probably

-You think so? -Not the rim though

Five points per half?

Five-five?

[1-on-1 streetball with Dad]

I can make it if I want to [1-on-1 streetball with Dad]

Really? [1-on-1 streetball with Dad]

[Fake]

I used to have the confidence that I'd make it

Not anymore

I won't go easy on you just because you're a celebrity

I won't go easy on you just because you're a celebrity

My body can't keep up

Aaagh!

Is it 5:0?

You scored five and Dad scored zero?

[LOL]

Can I play for real now?

Can I play for real now?

[Dad's revenge round]

[Getting rough now]

I'm not going easy anymore

[LOL]

Your celebrity advantage ends at five points

[Another celebrity advantage]

No!

The end!

[The end of JUHOON's day off]

Hello

I'm home

This is my room

I don't really know what to show you

But

to show you around...

This

is my room

So this is my bed

And over here

is where I used to measure my height

I think this is mine

Yeah

Back when I was a trainee

we did these

rolling paper letters

for each other

MARTIN

wrote this one

I don't think there's more

But

[Spots a mystery plushie]

You do this... [LOL]

That's how you play with this

When you want to hit something

You hit it like this

Mom

All mine?

-Huh? -Don't get up!

I'm full!

Don't get up

I'm drained

I'm drained too

We're from different generations

They say those born after 2010 are different

-Japan? -2010

Year 2010!

We're from different generations so we don't get each other

-You were born in 2012 -Yeah, I was born in 2012

Exactly

You were born later! [Frustrated]

Oh [LOL]

I had a nice meal!

[Movie theater with family]

Whoa, I can see Lotte Tower

We're here to watch "Mission Impossible"
