Seungri to star in "Family Outing" in Daesung's place..."Warm Big Bang"

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

Big Bang member Seungri will participate in "Family Outing" instead of Daesung who was hospitalized due to a car accident.

On the 24th of this month, Seungri will fill in for Daesung and record "Family Outing" for one night and two days at an undisclosed location in Kangwon-Do.

"Seungri will fill in for Daesung as a fellow Big Bang member," said "Family Outing"'s Jang Hyuk Jae PD on a telephone inteview with Money Today Star News. "He will record one episode for now (two episodes' worth on TV). After that we will see how Daesung is doing and make further decisions later."

Jang PD also said "The cast and crew are all worrying [about Daesung] and we hope he recovers and reunites with the 'Family' soon."

Daesung and Seungri were to perform in the musical "Shouting" starting August 12, but only Seungri is performing due to Daesung's car accident on the 11th. Seungri will perform in the musical until the 23rd.

Also, "Family Outing" will not air on the 23rd due to Kim Dae Jung's recent death.

It's sweet of Seungri to fill in for Daesung...and I just watched Intimate Note yesterday and saw Seungri being jealous of Daesung's celebrity connections due to "Family Outing," so I'm sure Seungri can't wait to be on the show. But get well soon Daesung!

Daesung isn't popular just because he's on "Family Outing," he's popular because he's likable and funny on the show. Seungri is going to have a hard time with either of those things.

While I think that he doesn't have Daesung's natural charm, I still think Seungri is very endearing and sweet. It might be a bit awkward but I think he can be enjoyable to watch on FO.

Awww. That was sweet of him to fill in. I'll definitely be watching this episode.

Thanks for translating~

lol yeah, i forget in what show (intimate notes maybe?) they mentioned how he was jealous that daesung was meeting all them celebrities through the show.
seungri is hungry for connections!

damn, i hate watching family outing but i can't NOT watch it if seungri's gonna be there.... i can't wait to see how much of a suckup he is to everyone lol, ilhsm <333

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

same, i think family outing is super boring compared to one night, two days but if seungri's in it, it's a must.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

OMG I LOVE THIS.

Can I just say how much I love Big Bang? Seriously, they could've sent TOP or something, but because they know how much Seungri loves celebrities and how envious of Daesung, they sent him :) They really do love their maknae--it's so nice :)

I usually watch FO but tbh I kinda lost interest for a while after Chunhee and Yejin left. Now I will watch with enthusiasm again \o/

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Oh I just realized TOP has to film for IRIS. I still like that they let Ri go though :)

[bathala.livejournal.com]

EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lovey-cookey.livejournal.com]

IASFM! OMG, Mark was the most epic designer eva.
I don't watch FO unless there's a guest I really like...but Seungri pwns them all :D

[biznass.livejournal.com]

tbqh i wish it was any of the other 3.

[hi-junpei.livejournal.com]

MTE. I can't wait to skip this episode. YoungBae would've been so much more interesting.

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

He definitely did.

[freakative.livejournal.com]

now what i want to know is when is YB gonna be on the show?! :O
it'd be deliciously awkward and cute!

[riot-o-curls.livejournal.com]

joining in the excitement!!!

i thought that the music programs were the only programs not airing this weekend but the rest of the programs like family outing were to air as usual?

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought too, but I guess not?

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

Hmm, is he funny at all? I usually pay more attention to the other four, so I have no idea how he is outside of Big Bang.

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes he tries to be funny and has that ~awkward silence~ effect. But he's definitely sweet.

[bambayahh.livejournal.com]

this will be an interesting episode to watch :]

[bathala.livejournal.com]

OMG Imagine Seungri being oh so competitive in the games!! XD

I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS AND SEE HIM BEING BULLIED BY HYORI. :3 That would be so cute LOL

[no-genre.livejournal.com]

it will be interesting
wont be like when dae is there
i hope he isn't awkward.....

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

oh, he will be. but it's part of his charm

[bathala.livejournal.com]

And when Daesung gets better, maybe they should just take both of them in so they wouldn't have a choice but to grow closer. :3

I am totes spamming this thread OMG OMG OMG SO EXCITEEEEED~ XD

[sup-homeskillet.livejournal.com]

YES. YES. YES.

[paperlet.livejournal.com]

OMG i was crossing my fingers for TOP to be his replacement, but seungri is the next big thing. he finally gets his dream to be on the variety show, hahaha. yayy

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

i can't imagine TOP on family outing, but if that ever did go down it would be soooo amazing.

[chalakchalak.livejournal.com]

Sorry but DO NOT WANT. It's strange but he's the only one out of Big Bang I'm not fond of. He usually comes off as arrogant to me and I dislike it. I really hope he'll make me eat my words when he appears on F.O. though.

[xzxcuzxme.livejournal.com]

THIS. except your last sentence.

[minamelody.livejournal.com]

LOL omg ri can finally get everyone's contact numbers like he wants to. haha this will be amazing :D

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

hahaha ikr?! i bet he didn't even have a second thought about doing this even if it's recording the day after he finishes "shouting"

[parkjinyoung.livejournal.com]

[phreshswag.livejournal.com]

i hope that they get ri for some episodes and then yb for the other lol
just a thought

[matsujoongie93.livejournal.com]

I wonder if Hyori is going to be hopping all on Seungri like she sometimes does with Daesung :P
Being Youngbae biased, I want him to be on FO, but I think he's a little bit too shy and he is working on his solo album. Seungri has nothing to do so I might actually watch this ep :)

[paperlet.livejournal.com]

reading all the comments make me surprised at how much people hate seungri.

[tabi.livejournal.com]

Same. :\

[tabi.livejournal.com]

I hope Seungri knows he has really big shoes to fill. :] But I think he does and he'll do well.

[sup-homeskillet.livejournal.com]

unfortunately, seungri hate is commonplace here at omona
