On the other hand, the 88s' all-time lineup has finally been held. Actors Kim Soo-hyun, Lee Soo-hyuk, Lim Si-wan, Hwang Kwang-hee, and Jung Hae-in, centering on G-Dragon, met with 88 stars under the concept of "I'm Solo". The fun point was that 88 stars, including awkward friends G-Dragon and Kwang-hee, gathered in 88 countries one by one and didn't know what to do.

Defconn added interest by giving the members a suitable name as the MC of 'I'm Solo'. G-Dragon was given the name Young-cheol in a straight line, Kim Soo-hyun was given the board, Lee Soo-hyuk was given the name Young-ho in Physical, Lim Si-wan was given the name of Young-ja in Innocence, and Hwang Kwang-hee was given the name Kwang-soo, who was heartbroken by unrequited love, and Jung Hae-in became the Oksoon of magic.

When they said hello to each other for the first time on this day, G-Dragon embarrassed the members with an unexpected bombshell. When Hwang Kwang-hee said "I remember when I was on a music show with G-Dragon," G-Dragon asked the number of children in the group Empire, where Lim Si-wan and Hwang Kwang-hee worked together.

Hwang Kwanghee said, "I want to practice singing and be a group of 3" and G-Dragon devastated the scene by saying "We didn't do it because we wanted to do it three of us."

No wonder, Big Bang, which debuted in 2006 as a quintet of members G-Dragon, Taeyang, Daesung, Top, and Seungri, rose to the top of the boy band with numerous hits, including 'Lies', 'Red Noel', 'Haru', 'Bang Bang', 'Fantastic Baby' and 'Last Goodbye'.

However, starting with Top in 2017, while G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung joined the army in turn, Seungri left the team in 2019 due to the so-called 'Club Burning Sun' controversy, and his agency YG Entertainment also left. When the exclusive contract with YG Entertainment ended in 2023, Top broke up with his agency, officially leaving Big Bang.

As such, the colorful charm of the 88 friends triggered viewers' laughter even in 'Self-Introduction Time'. From Lim Si-wan, who appealed his charm with his dialect acting and cube, to Gwanghee and G-Dragon of Tiki-taka, Jung Hae-in, who operated full-arm fluttering with apple splitting, and Lee Soo-hyuk, who showed off his presence like a 「Cherry Blossom Knight」 even when he was still, the charm appeal time of 88 friends caused laughter.

G-Dragon, the host of 88 countries, introduced himself, "'My goal is to sing together and that's my talent.'" 88 When asked if he was inspired by his friends, he/she looked at Kwanghee and replied, "(I can't) get all the inspiration," causing laughter.

Kim Soo-hyun not only imitated the anti-war talent, but also reproduced the "Haein" gif, which drew the attention of the village with Jung Hae-in, making the scene roaring. In his 18th year since debut, he said "If it weren't for 2024, I wouldn't have been willing to 'call' but my personality has changed"

When friends sympathize with what they say, they are getting older. It's not easy to meet people of the same age. That's why this place is precious," he said, drawing attention by introducing himself with sincerity. Jung Hae-in and Lim Si-wan also "I want to participate as a person rather than an actor.", "It's hard to get together with 88s, but it's so good." He showed his sincerity to the 88s.

Then, the first impression vote of 88s was held along with the name award ceremony. Amid the tension of the unpredictable friendship, G-Dragon (Young-cheol) received a total of two votes from Jung Hae-in (Oksoon) and Hwang Kwang-hee (Gwang-soo), becoming the No. 1 winner of the first impression vote of 88 countries.

Since then, the friends who decided to talk to each other of the same age have been awkward, but they have shared a consensus talk and quickly become close. At the end of the broadcast, an evening mission that embarrassed 88 friends is announced, raising expectations for next week's broadcast.

MBC"Good Day" is a music project in which G-Dragon completes this year's song with characters from various fields, broadcasting every Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
