[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 4th, MBC's 'How Do You Play?' aired the music video for "In the Summer" featuring the Ssaksseuri members and Kwanghee.


On that day, Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyori, and Kwanghee received dance lessons from Rain to film the music video for Deux's "In the Summer." Watching Rain perfectly master Deux's choreography, Yoo Jae-suk repeatedly praised, "You dance well."


However, when the energetic Rain performed a difficult move, Yoo Jae-suk warned, "Don't do that." Observing closely, Lee Hyori complimented Rain's precise dance, saying, "Looking closely at Rain's dance, he pays attention to every single finger."


Rain started practicing with light kicks. When Yoo Jae-suk jumped along beside him, Lee Hyori scolded, "Don't do the grasshopper dance," which excited Yoo Jae-suk, who replied, "I'm not!" When his next move was no different, Kwanghee and Lee Hyori teased him.


Also, when Kwanghee asked for individual feedback, Yoo Jae-suk started first, but as Kwanghee kept pointing out things, Yoo Jae-suk blurted out, "I don't want to see this," causing laughter.


Meanwhile, Lee Hyori suddenly loosened her dance lines mid-practice and was criticized by the members. Rain was puzzled, saying, "You've been in Jeju Island too long," and Yoo Jae-suk looked surprised, asking, "Why has your dancing skill decreased so much?" Lee Hyori herself was embarrassed but focused on practice and finally achieved the desired moves.


Especially, Kwanghee's unnecessary body movements threw the members into chaos. Yoo Jae-suk criticized his excessive neck tilting and stiff gestures not in the original choreography, saying, "Do it plainly." Kwanghee complained, "Is this why you called me?" But after watching Lee Hyori's moves, Kwanghee teased, "Looks like Zumba dance," and the members agreed, saying, "If Hyori does Zumba dance, everyone is done for."


After the skit-filled and laughter-filled choreography practice ended, the members changed into music video costumes and began filming in earnest. Lee Hyori said, "Wearing matching outfits gives a group vibe," and Yoo Jae-suk added, "It creates a sense of belonging. Costumes are really important."


However, they soon started dissing each other's makeup and costumes. At that moment, Kwanghee brought a beach parasol from Yoo Jae-suk's side to Lee Hyori, saying, "Too much light is shining on you, noona," which drew disapproving looks from the other members.

Soon after, individual filming for each member began. Lee Hyori showed lively and fresh moves befitting a former idol. Initially embarrassed and cringing, the members cheered, saying, "Good job," and "Looks like 20s Fin.K.L." Riding this momentum, Rain freely showed his prepared moves and finished his individual shoot.


Seeing Kwanghee bustling around, Yoo Jae-suk scolded, "Sit down. You're really noisy," to which Kwanghee replied, "I went to see if it would help the broadcast!" making Yoo Jae-suk burst out laughing.


After Lee Hyori and Rain finished filming, Yoo Jae-suk's individual shoot finally began, but Kwanghee worried, saying, "Your expression is already stiff." Yoo Jae-suk wobbled while filming on a unicorn tube, and Lee Hyori pointed out, "Because of that, you can't fully show your charm." Rain also laughed, saying, "He looks like a middle-aged man visiting an amusement park."


As Yoo Jae-suk continued to lose his rhythm, Rain said, "The gestures of Yusanseul are coming out," and eventually stepped in to give Yoo Jae-suk advice. After the members all gathered to nag him, Yoo Jae-suk barely completed his individual shoot. Then, after finishing group filming, they went to the Han River for yacht shooting.


After filming the "In the Summer" music video, the Ssaksseuri members met composer Shim Eun-ji for the title track recording of "Play That Summer." Shim Eun-ji, who joined JYP in 2008, shared an anecdote about having met Rain once before.


Regarding Shim Eun-ji's testimony that Rain appeared with his buttons undone down to his sternum, Rain protested, "When did I ever unbutton that far? I'm upset hearing that for the first time." The three then listened to the song and began practice.



MBC's variety show 'How Do You Play?' airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
