On the September 22 edition of 'Abnormal Meeting,' the members of the show discussed and debated about the sports that various countries dominate or enjoy competing in. 

Takuya commented, "When I was in Korea, I went to watch the Korea versus Japan match. I thought that it would be fun. I wanted to root for Japan but I was too scared to do so," reminiscing about the time he went to watch a soccer match in Korea. 

He also spoke of the rivalry between Kim Yuna and Mao Asada. When MC Jun Hyun Moo asked, "What do Japanese people think about Kim Yuna?" He answered, "There is a lot of jealousy. Kim Yuna is really good so she wins quite frequently over Mao Asada. And as a [Japanese] citizen, it hurts to see the other country win."

In response, Sung Si Kyung commented, "I rooted for Mao.  Because she kept falling over too much.  But she was a hardworking, pretty athlete aside from the competition."
