day_dreamer Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I just saw ep. 9 of the show (was going through omonatheydidnt posts and then decided to click on the post) and it made me curious to see those positive comments on the show in the post.And I watched it. And I am hooked. I never thought I could sit through a show where the cast were just sitting, and speaking the whole time, for almost 80 minutes on top of that.I'll try to catch up on the other episodes later, but based on the teaser, I am now curious of the Chuseok special episode. hahaThank you for the thread, @love1403 :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love1403 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Since I have time because of study break, I´m just gonna post this 8-> Pann: Photo shoots of Abnormal Summit's hot panelists 1. [+171, -0] Alberto was asked what kind of a dad he wanted to be and he said he wants to be a dad who loves mom... You Alberto ㅠㅠ Is there another guy like him...2. [+166, -0] Enes' Turkey pose is the funniest ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ3. [+130, -1] I'm so thankful to them for leaning Korean, Korean culture, and working in Korea. Of course they have their own reasons but I don't think I'd be able to do the same in a completely new country. Our country is not even an English-speaking country. They live here because they like it ㅠㅠ Thank you4. [+45, -0] ㅋㅋㅋ Enes5. [+42, -0] Zhang Yuan kept calling Kim Gura "dangshin" (formal word of "you") because his Korean lacks a bit and it was so funny ㅋㅋ He earned $10 a month when he had a part-time job in high school and when Takuya said his hourly pay was $10 in his high school, Zhang Yuan said"I'm pissed". Cute ㅋㅋ6. [+40, -1] These days, Australian Daniel is not getting much screen time, it's sad ㅠㅠ I personally like smart Tyler, Zhang Yuan and Australian Daniel ㅋㅋ 7. [+40, -0] Tyler is so cute. It's not easy to be cute and intellectually charming at the same time8. [+31, -1] Do well ㅠㅠㅠ9. [+31, -0] How did they choose the members so well? There isn't a person who is so-so, they're all charming and likeable. They all seem to be getting along! I hope Abnormal Summit succeeds more~10. [+29, -0] Abnormal Summit is so funny~ I was so surprised with their ages though ㅋㅋ 11. [+27, -0] Never knew a fish market could look so awesome ㅋㅋ12. [+26, -0] Amazing how they cast all handsome people. And I think German Daniel speaks as well as Tyler13. [+26, -0] I love the chemistry between these three members ㅋㅋㅋcr: http://kpopkfans.blogspot.ca/2014/09/photo-shoots-of-abnormal-summit-members.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missauditor Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Article: [TV zoom in] 'Abnormal Summit' G11's various charms with their different performances1. [+1792, -14] I was surprised with Sam's rap... He was really good2. [+1688, -18] The Chinese lyrics Zhang Yuan sang was "I'm singing" in Chinese ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ3.

Especially when he played the piano for On The Street. I hope to see him on TV morecredit: http://kpopkfans.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariazzang Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 so much laughter while watching this show. they cast good members, because they all have great dynamics which keeps the show fresh and fast paced. I also love just watching non koreans speaking korean well. Makes me inspired and persevere studying korean. Hoping I could one day be like them, speaking korean confidently.Oh and this show has Sung Si Kyung. I kinda miss him on variety shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TumTumTum Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 My favourites are Enes and Tyler. Enes and Sam went on Happy Together recently. Heard Enes also guested on Jung Junha's "God of Eating's Road". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rectitude* Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have heard about this show, but I didn't get a chance to start it until yesterday. I'm currently on episode six, but I was hooked from episode one. This show is funny and interesting. Even though each member of G11 don't exactly represent how their country is, they still give valuable insights of their country and culture to allow others to know they're not what people may think they are. I love how they can just make fun of each other one moment and then get into a hot debate without any hard feelings though. From the emcees to the G11 members, they're all so charming in their own way, even if my opinion differs from some of them. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guccigal328 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I find the Chinese guy a bit off putting. Can't he just leave his biases and prejudices at home?Please don't transfer your hatred for Japan to Takuya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love1403 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Also for people who didn´t know, I have good news. Abnormal Summit reached a whooping 6% in rating during last Chuseok special episode, and that´s such a crazy number for a cable TV show!! I think the episode peaked again at 7.8% in rating this weeks episode with John Park if I´m not wrong, since I saw Abnormal Summit post about it in their official instagram.The show is getting soooo much love and explosive response and popularity from the public, that now more shows from the big public channels (KBS, MBC, SBS) etc. are too starting too feature more foreigners in their show in response to the explosive popularity of Abnormal Summit.Also the cast are receiving CF offers, photoshoots and DJ, and casting gigs at many other shows too. I also heard this program has been in production and planning since 5 years ago, no wonder it´s so well executed and on point And as a fan since episode 1 I´m sooo happy that G11 are getting so much love.
