Although I still can’t believe it, I will live knowing you will always be watching over us with a smile. I’m thankfull and really love you. I still have a lot more I want to say so I’ll come to see you and say it directly. I miss you hyung.”

Our former 1N2D writer strikes again with the account of the wrapping party after her final filming day.

The moving story has been making rounds on korean social networks apparently and people have had nothing but praise for the 1N2D members.

I’m happy to hear they got some well deserved acknowledgement for their kind hearts and thoughts~

maknae-pd

A former writer of 1N2D took this picture during her last filming day with the show last week and she posted a long note explaining one of the things that made her proud of the 1N2D members.

She ended up her message saying that she was able to be happy all this time thanks to them and that from now she’ll keep on being a 1N2D fan forever.

In the final hashtag, she asks journalists to write more articles about this (rather than say… stupid rumors like dating scandals or whatnot I guess). She also wrote that Junho is not on the picture because he had to poop first and ended up at the back of the queue as a result hahahaha!

Thanks @JJYAustralia over on Twitter for translating this heartfelt post~

There is more underneath the glass and steel of Hong Kong

When it comes to Hong Kong as a travel destination, scenes of the hustle and bustle, all kinds of cuisine and hundreds of shopping complexes probably flood your mind in a blink. No we are not going into the obvious beauty of the city. We are here to unravel the mesmerizing gem of the city’s cultural diversity. Let us freshen your vision and mind with some colorful hues!

HKwalls

For those who want to explore the city from an unconventional perspective, check out the HKwalls! For four years in a row, HKwalls has been making efforts to strengthen the link between art and the public space. Last year, HKwalls took place in Sham Shui Po, one of the earliest developed areas in Hong Kong. The mixed land uses and history has given the district a distinct character, making it an ideal area for the annual street arts celebrations. The festival featured 40 art pieces created by artists from 17 countries, 42 workshops, 3 free film screenings and a pop-up print exhibition.

This year HKwalls reignites the partnership with Vans as part of the Hong Kong Arts Month in Wong Chuk Hang. Unlike other events during the month, there are scattered happenings for the public to stumble upon. Though Wong Chuk Hang may be a little far from the city centre, it is chosen for a reason. While the art and creative community has been blossoming in the industrial district, the mural art pieces and interactive programs would perfectly compliment the growth. Just remember to have your camera ready!

Feeling revitalized now? Let’s dig deeper into the city’s cultural matrix, here is our recommended guide for you.

Old Town Central

Here we go a compact experience in the culturally diverse city!

Old Town Central (OTC) refers to the rectangular shaped neighbourhood in Central bounded by Wyndham Street, Caine Road, Possession Street, Queen’s Road Central and Hollywood Road. A miniature of the big city, it hosts many must-go including heritage sites, landmarks, historic architecture, religious buildings, designer boutiques, local shops, dining and entertainment outlets. It mirrors the transition of Hong Kong from a fishing village to a British colony to a metropolitan city throughout the decades.

Possession Street

The story of modern Hong Kong began at Possession Street in 1841, where the British soldiers landed and the colonial governance commenced. Fast forward to 176 years later, it is now the Hollywood Road Park, a Chinese-style garden. Still, you can find a mix of nostalgic and modern shops at Possession Street.

POHO

Climb a few staircases to POHO; fill yourself with the artsy air. Surrounded by Po Hing Fong including Tai Ping Shan Street, Po Hing Street, Tung Street, Sai Street, and Upper Station Street, the up-and-coming neighbourhood is analogous to Hong Kong’s hipster village with plenty cafes, quirky boutiques and art galleries.

YMCA Bridges Street Centre & Ladder Street

You will find YMCA Bridges Street Centre and Ladder Street at the east of OTC. Constructed in 1918, the YMCA Bridges Street Centre is an architectural epitome displaying a crossover between Chinese green glazed tiled roofs and Chicago School style. Ladder Street, a Grade 1 historical building, which is made entirely of stone steps, connects Queen’s Road Central all the way uphill to Hollywood Road and Caine Road.

Man Mo Temple

At the corner of Ladder Street, Man Mo Temple is a masterpiece of long-lost traditional Chinese architectural craftsmanship. It would certainly take your breath away the moment you step in. The temple was built for Gods worshipping and as “Kung Sor” where community issues were discussed and resolved.

PMQ

Go along Hollywood Road and you will arrive at PMQ, the Police Married Quarters. It has been revitalized as a creative hub where over 100 shops, pop-up stores, design studios and restaurants are nested. The mission of PMQ is to nurture local designers, provide a place for organizing exhibits and for visitors to have a taste of creative lifestyle. With this in mind, you cannot miss this place from your to-go list in Hong Kong.

Gough Street and Kau U Fong

Also known as NOHO, there is a great deal of independent boutiques and contemporary art galleries awaiting your discovery; cafes and old-style dai pai dong (cooked food stalls) ready to fill you up. Be sure to spare some time and belly for them!

Pak Tsz Lane Park

Pak Tsz Lane Park, located at a quiet square behind Aberdeen Street, Hollywood Road, Gage Street and Peel Street, is a park featuring a monument in memory of anti-Qing Dynasty activities in the late 19th century by revolutionaries from Furen Wenshe and Xing Zhong Hui. Enlighten yourself with some knowledge on Hong Kong’s role in overthrowing the monarchy in China.

Hollywood Road

One of the oldest built in 1844, Hollywood Road has evolved into a renowned art hub, accommodating numerous contemporary art galleries, antique shops and boutiques. Get your art and shopping fix here and you won’t be disappointed.

Tai Kwun

At the junction of Old Baileys Street and Hollywood Road stands a gorgeous colonial-style establishment – Tai Kwun, or “big station” in Chinese. That was how the Chinese used to colloquially refer to the former law enforcement complex. Initially where the Central Police Station, Central Magistracy and Victoria Prison were, it is now under transformation into the next talk-of-the-town hub of heritage, arts and leisure. Stay tuned!

Pottinger Street

Named after Hong Kong’s first governor, Pottinger Street is made of uneven slabs of cobblestone, and thus given the name “Stone Slab Street”. If you need ideas for your costumes and props to Halloween celebrations or themed parties, look no further, you can find everything here.

Lyndhurst Terrace

Lyndhurst Terrace is another featured spot of the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail. The old Xing Yan Lou Western Restaurant was one of the secretive bases where Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his comrades meet as well as a refuge for overseas revolutionaries during the First Guangzhou Uprising in 1895. You may be hit by some shiok buttery aroma and it probably comes from Tai Cheong Bakery, renowned for “the best egg tarts in the world” hailed by the last British governor Chris Patten.

I'm a new fan to 1n2d and i've already watched all season 3 episodes. I'm wondering about season 2, should a bother watching it because I hear that it's not as great.

Hi there~

My personal opinion of season 2 is not exactly trustworthy considering that I’ve only watched part of it, but I’ve really enjoyed most of what I’ve seen.

I watched until the last episode of Bird PD and Seung Woo, which is about 60% of the show, and I thought the chemistry between the members was really good.

Most of the episodes had good concepts and interesting game ideas too. There wasn’t that many guests, which I personally prefer and most of them were actually a good addition to the team. Except the episode with Choi Kang Hee. I don’t have anything against her as person or an actress, but she was purely on the show for promotion and that’s the reason why I hardly ever watch “Running Man” in the first place : the interactions don’t feel right, it just looks forced and fake.

Anyway, here’s a couple of stuff that made me really appreciate what I’ve seen of season 2:

- Cha Tae Hyun and his beginning on the show. He had terrible luck during that time, to the point where it was starting to get scary. He basically spent every nights outside. Also he looked much younger haha!- Joo Won and his ultimate cuteness. You might think Donggu is cute, but it’s nothing compared to Joo Won. He was this giant enthusiastic baby koala that had a massive crush on Uhm Tae Won and really REALLY liked to cuddle with his hyungs. They all had pictures of him sleeping on their phone. Also he had tiny panic attacks every time he saw a bug. Which made him even cuter of course.- Sung Si Kyung cooking. While narrating with his radio voice.- Bird PD’s lack of authority was actually quite funny.- They sucked at sports and it was great!- They were not afraid of looking completely ridiculous.- They had different kinds of drinks and food for bokbulbok, some of which should have stayed on the show afterwards in my opinion (sophora tea…. urk!)

The things I didn’t really like:- The way some of the members (namely 2) treated Kim Jongmin at times. It was just mean and unfair.- The lack of flexibility and spontaneity for some games.

For the rest of the season, the main critics were that the pace was too slow and it had become just another game show with many guests, i.e. you couldn’t really see the travelling around Korea part. Some people said they still enjoyed it but I couldn’t say for sure since I didn’t watch.

I’m not sure you can really make up your mind from what I told you but in any case, you can always give it a try and see if you like the first few episodes~

Joonyoung’s message to congratulate his favorite hyung on his special day.

Jongmin was crying so much.

Taehyun was crying so much.

The staff was crying so much.

The whole 1N2D fandom was basically just bawling their eyes out at this moment haha…. ha…. aaaah… T_T

This show really managed to stay on air for so long because it was made by and with such a lovely bunch of caring people!

1N2D is ♡

Kim Junho trying to entice Kim Yoojung with the help of Jung Joonyoung…

He failed.

Just in case you were wondering XD

Meanwhile, by the “Music Bank” dressing rooms, Cha Taehyun was busy stalking Twice instead of doing his mission.

That’s why they should stop doing their opening at KBS : they always end up checking up what girl group is performing that day hahaha~

My logic is simple, if one actor is friends with Cha Taehyun, then I become a fan. Like I had seen Insung in It’s Okay, That’s Love but after watching the Friend Struggling Note I honestly became his fan. Now it’s the same with Park Bogum, I saw him in I Remember You and thought “that actor has great potential” but never looked into him. Now that he appeared on 1N2D I honestly became a fan. Because if you’re related to Taehyun it means you’re a good nature person :)
