Due to the recent heavy rainfall that Korea has been enduring this past week, the production team of KBS 2TV’s ‘Let’s Go Dream Team 2‘ had no choice but to suspend all recording schedules. In addition, to avoid potential rumors, they have emphasized that it wasn’t due to the cast suffering from injuries.
Earlier today, PD Kwon Yong Taek stated, “Yesterday’s recording cancellation was because of the downpour, not because of continuous injuries.”
According to PD Kwon, the producing team headed out to Everland in Gyeonggi-do on June 29th to film a ‘Female Idol’ special episode, starring NS Yooni, Jewelry, Dal Shabet, Nine Muses, After School, SECRET and Rainbow. Reportedly, for this episode, the cast did not include any of the regular members of the show.
The production team originally had three games planned for the recording, but due to the heavy downpour, the guest stars only participated in running races in the rain. During the recording, while racing to grab hold of the flag at the finish line, one of the cast members hit his or her thigh against someone else’s knee, which resulted in both of the cast members to fall over and suffer bruising to their legs.
PD Kwon explained, “There is always a doctor present at the scene of the recording. After getting checked up by the doctor, the two cast members took a rest in the rest room.”
He continued, “We had to pause the shooting as the rain was making it too unsafe for recording to take place. We didn’t suspend the shooting because of the injured members, but because of the wet weather.”
“Since the cast was only able to participate in one of the three games, there was no point in going to excessive lengths (for recording). We explained this to the idols even before the shooting, and we told them that those with a fear of water can just participate in games that don’t involve it.”
He concluded, “There are some who point out a problem with safety, but the production team of ‘Let’s Go Dream Team’ always makes sure to look out for the cast’s safety on the show.”
The cast will have a re-recording of the episode in early August.
