If you're searching for an I Live Alone Episode 620 recap, you've come to the right place – let's break it down!
Setting the Stage: Teams Moo vs. Ku
The episode kicks off with the formation of two rival teams: Team Moo (led by the ever-charismatic host) and Team Ku (captained by the powerhouse Ku Sung Hwan). With celebrities like SHINee's MINHO, Kian84, Lee Jang Woo, Park Ji Hyeon, and more joining the fray, the energy is electric. The rain adds a slippery twist, but nothing dampens the spirits as they gear up for special matches and team showdowns. The ultimate prize? A mouthwatering Korean beef set!
Special Matches Steal the Show: Ssireum Showdown Highlights
Before diving into team games, the cast indulges in a flurry of ssireum (traditional Korean wrestling) bouts – over 350 special matches in total! These heavyweight clashes become the episode's comic and athletic centerpiece, with mats laid out like a pro ring.
- Big Men's Match: Ku Sung Hwan vs. Lee Jang Woo – At 102kg each, these giants deliver a "rival match of the century." Sung Hwan's bear hug throw sends Jang Woo flying, crowning him the Paektu Champion in seconds. "He's a champion indeed!"
- Kids' Lightweight Clash: KEY vs. Lee Ju Seung – Adorable and awkward, this bout turns into a dance-off. KEY's flashy steps secure a surprise win, leaving everyone in stitches.
- Bacterrius vs. The Bleach Rocker: Kian84 vs. Im Woo Il – Gritty and gross (ear-kissing mishaps included), Kian84's chin-pressing endurance clinches victory. "Crazy love?" the cast jokes.
- Main Event: Park Ji Hyeon vs. MINHO – Fiery charisma meets iron strength. Ji Hyeon's counter throw topples MINHO, but he bounces back with grace. "Ji Hyeon is really strong!"
- Underdog Glory: Park Ji Hyeon’s Triple Win – Ji Hyeon dominates Ahn Jae Hyeon and Kang Yong, singing trot anthems in celebration. But ultimate champ? Ku Sung Hwan, after a 22kg weight disadvantage crushes hopes.
These matches aren't just about wins – they're pure chaos, with commentary from Kang Yong adding trot-flavored flair. Sung Hwan walks away with 20kg of rice as the first Rainbow Champion!
Team Battles Heat Up: Super Volleyball Under the Pouring Rain
Tied 1-1 after earlier games (tug-of-war and flour-moving), the teams face super volleyball – a bouncy, oversized-ball version that's equal parts strategy and slapstick. The 3-3-2 formation and single-bounce rule lead to epic rallies lasting 10 minutes!
- Standouts: Ok Ja Yeon's Kim Yeon-koung-level spikes and Woo Il's seal-like smashes.
- Wind Woes: The gale favors one side, forcing mid-game switches and deflated balls.
- Climax: A rock-paper-scissors decider for a 5-point finale. Team Ku edges out the win, but not without MINHO's heroic dives and Kian84's "Mine!" blocks.
"Our rally continued for ten minutes... Playing sports together definitely helps you bond," shares a cast member. Post-game, fingers stiff like in The Exorcist, but the upset loss only fuels Team Moo's fire.
The Nail-Biter: Group Relay Race for Korean Beef Glory
With Team Ku leading 2-1, the 100-point relay race decides it all. Injuries sideline Sung Hwan and Lee Dae Ho, leading to a 4x100m + 2x200m format. Batons fly (and fumble) in this sprint spectacular:
- Leg 1: Ju Seung's agile start vs. Jang Woo's belly-first charge – a photo finish!
- Leg 2: Lee Jung's giraffe-like speed catches Ok Ja Yeon, tying it up.
- Leg 3: Barefoot Kang Yong vs. Woo Il – outer lane drama!
- Leg 4: KEY vs. Hyun Moo – neck-and-neck idol hustle.
- Final Legs: CODE KUNST's monkey-like surge hands off to Kian84 (Runner84) vs. MINHO (Iron Man). MINHO's sprinter posture closes the gap for a come-from-behind victory!
"Kian84 ran really well... but MINHO breathes like a machine!" Team Ku clinches the beef, leaving Kian84 plotting triathlon revenge.
MVP Moment: MINHO Takes the Crown
Regardless of teams, votes pour in for SHINee's MINHO as MVP – for his unrivaled relay anchor, volleyball heroics, and consistent fire. "Fiery charisma, MINHO!" He scores big prizes: Dyson Airwrap, vacuum, and endless praise. Runners-up: Ku Sung Hwan (ssireum beast) and Ok Ja Yeon (volleyball ace). Everyone gets cute embroidered towels as souvenirs.
Heartwarming Wrap-Up: Bonding, Beef, and Hue Park's Solo Life
Post-games, Fathermoo's chicken skewers restore energy, and Korean beef feasts seal the day. "We became closer... It's like an alumni meeting," reflects the cast. The episode closes with a teaser for writer Hue Park's Seoul routine – lectures, used book hunts, and housewarming pasta with collaborators like Will Aronson and Park Jin Joo.
