Four TREASURE members will appear on VS. Chotokkyu, joining Bulletrain in playful challenges, including SORORI and reverse gesture quizzes.

Four members of TREASURE will appear on "VS. Chotokkyu." "VS. Chotokkyu" is Bulletrain’s first regular program on Nippon TV, the dance-and-vocal group that is currently the most energetic, with its Tokyo Dome two-day performances in November sold out in its 15th year since formation this year. Since April, when the show entered its second year of broadcast, it has been powered up by setting up its own first program studio set under the title "Game Development Department," and its theme song has also become a big buzz mainly on social media, such as the music video surpassing 7 million views on video sites and becoming "Gachi Muchu!". Every week, together with various guests, they are devoted to "game development" with serious enthusiasm. On the August 24 broadcast (excluding some regions), TREASURE, appearing together for the first time, will appear as guests! This time, four members from TREASURE—Jihoon, Yoshi, Doyoung, and So Jung-hwan—will take on game development together with Bulletrain. The first game is the "SORORI Challenge," which aims to keep the number of steps on the pedometer to a minimum. Pedometers are attached to the arms, waist, and legs, and they challenge the given tasks. The team that can keep the total number as low as possible wins, and from TREASURE, the youngest member So Jung-hwan, and from Bulletrain, Yuki, will challenge the soccer "10 keep-ups". The key is to move "carefully, carefully" so as not to increase the numbers, but as a result of being too conscious of it, So Jung-hwan ends up wandering around the studio with Michael Jackson’s moonwalk...! What was the result of the keep-up showdown between Yuki and So Jung-hwan!? Furthermore, in the pair showdown, Bulletrain’s Haru and the host Morimoto of Tontsucatan form a pair and take on the volleyball challenge of "10 rallies with receive." After watching the efforts of the two, Jihoon of TREASURE, who is on the later side, decides to take on the challenge with "a certain strategy"...! What kind of method was Jihoon’s strategy exactly? The second game is titled "Reverse Gesture Quiz," a gesture game in which the challenger is blindfolded and has to guess what they are expressing by relying on movement instructions from the team. In this game, where both the person giving instructions and the person receiving them become a little panicked, Bulletrain’s Haru, who challenged first, struggled greatly from the very first question... There was even a scene where he scolded the members giving instructions, saying, "Be more specific!" TREASURE’s Doyoung will challenge it! Although the members shower him with downer encouragement such as "Don’t trust them" toward the nervous Doyoung, he shows a certain fine play. What on earth will be the result of the game development with TREASURE? Expectations are rising for the broadcast. On Hulu, a "Hulu special version" including scenes not aired on terrestrial television is scheduled to be exclusively distributed in advance from 12:00 noon on Sunday, August 23. In the "SORORI Challenge," they also take on hula hoops, and the challenges of Bulletrain’s Kai and TREASURE’s Yoshi, who fall into slumps, will also be delivered. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the efforts of Bulletrain and TREASURE that could not fit into the terrestrial broadcast, as well as TREASURE’s rare natural side, which is said to hardly ever appear on variety programs even in Korea, will be shown in full. ■Program overview "VS.
