About Dongmin
Don't get me wrong. Dongmin IS playing the game relatively well, to the best of his ability. He is doing much of the same things as we saw in TG. For example, he got the secret alliance of 2 together early, like he did in Season 3 of TG. He picked an ace, Julian. In TG, he picked another ace, Hyunmin, a brain. In Society Game, physical games are involved, so it makes sense that he picked a physical ace as his secret partner.
He has judged everyone's strengths. He told Julian the reason why Hakjin wanted to go to jail was because Hakjin was on the cards to be eliminated if they lost the next challenge. He knows Hakjin feels insecure right now.
This is true. Hakjin was annoyed that he chose to go to jail that time because their team won.
Dongmin hints he wants Hyunsuk in his final alliance. He suggested that Julien give prize money to Hyunsuk or something like that. Dongmin knows that Hyunsuk is the brain of the team and can match the abilities of Taeho, the brain on the other side. (Eunah might be even brainier than Taeho but she's immature and too emotional.)
Dongmin knows that the ex-Madong players have an alliance going. He walked by the room where Hakjin and Woori were discussing things. He suspects they are plotting things together in their secret conversations.
Dongmin knows which ones are ambitious ones - he notes Inyoung and Hakjin are quite ambitious.
Dongmin knew he was on the chopping block after they failed in the rope-pulling challenge in Ep 3. He and Junseok were the top contenders. So he made a preemptive strike and he was the one behind the push to vote out Junseok. Dongmin cleverly told Woori this. From jail, she could quietly tell others what she had heard and spread it around to all the others who came to talk to her. This made Junseok the target for elimination. So Dongmin escaped elimination in this manner. Junseok suspects what happened and told Woori that he knows how he got eliminated.
Dongmin knows Taeho is a major rival. If Taeho continues to avoid elimination round after round, and looks like he might be in the final, this is extremely dangerous for Dongmin.
Dongmin does not match Taeho in brains. He can only beat him in memory games. He knows that and his team mates in Nopdong know that. They saw how both performed in the Russian janggi game and the binary numbers game. Taeho came out on top. Yes, Dongmin did beat him in the memory game with the food dishes but that was just a one-off mini-game - it is unlikely there will be pure memory games in the final that decide the winning team like that. (Memory might be part of a challenge but it won't be a pure memory game - there will probably be other skills involved in the mental challenge.)
So if Taeho looks as if he will be in the final, Nopdong have to go to a final with one brain ace that can match him. There is only one person like that and that is Hyunsuk. Hyunsuk and Taeho are kind of evenly matched.
So they will ditch Dongmin for Hyunsuk if they have to make a choice between the two. There is no point going to the final if your players are much weaker than the players in the other team. Your side will be slaughtered. That is what almost happened in S1. Not quite a slaughter but Kyungryul was too good for MJ in the last game of the finals.
Both Dongmin and Hyunsuk could make it to the final, of course, but there is a chance that only one of them will be in the final. And Hyunsuk isn't close to the Dongmin-Julien alliance.
If Taeho is eliminated soon, Dongmin has some breathing space. He has eliminated the greatest threat over there, and it won't be so crucial for Nopdong to hang onto Hyunsuk. However, the threat is not completely gone if Taeho is eliminated because there are Eunah and Alphago - two brains. They may hold their own against Dongmin in the final.
But by helping to remove Taeho, Dongmin improves his position in Nopdong.
This is why he understood the importance of trying to win the video game. No one else seemed to think it was important. This is why Dongmin is good in shows like this; he understands the underlying game mechanics. In Season 5 of TG, he and Kyunghoon were the only two who studied on the games beforehand once it was revealed what the final matches were. So, he gives himself a leg up in this way. He is not lazy. He doesn't let others take the initiative.
This is why he is a dangerous player in these games. He is always strategizing. He is one step ahead. He takes the initiative. He works on controllable variables such as this opportunity to eliminate a danger in the game, and doesn't leave things to chance. He makes his own luck in other words.
Hyunsuk and Taeho may have the brains but Dongmin has the game-playing skills. He sees the overall picture. He manipulates people and situations. He leaves less to chance than others do. He is quietly more ambitious than others. He doesn't show it but if he didn't win, it would be a big blow to his ego. Even though he is not the best in brains, he still uses what he has better than others. He uses 90% of what he's got. Others use 40%. He believes effort wins over natural ability, as he said after beating Hyunmin in the janggi game.
So even if he does not win Society Game, he can still be recognized as a good player. In bad circumstances such as the Russian janggi game when his team lost and he performed badly, he still managed to do something to protect himself against being voted out. People who are poorer than him at the social game, and this includes most of the people out there, if not all of the people out there, would not have been able to do that - they would not think of a scheme to save themselves. Many just apologize and try and make themselves invisible or work harder at the chores. When Haneul was on the chopping block, she did not try hard to save herself. So, this shows the difference between better social players like Dongmin and the others.
So moves that Dongmin has made to increase his chances in the game:
1. Allied early with Julien, physical ace (Problem: alliance is not secret anymore. Advantage: Gwangjae is out.)
2. Got MJ out. MJ was a threat to him, being a leader of her own alliance. MJ also was a rival with Julien in physical games.
3. Maneuvered to get Junseok eliminated instead of him by using Woori who was well-placed to tell others of the plan to get Junseok out by being in the jail.
4. Put Taeho on the blacklist by winning the video game.
5. Is the mood-maker - making Nopdong a friendly place. Making himself well-liked. Lightening the mood when things get dark. Not creating any enemies. Not looking as if he's playing the game, by mixing well with everyone and joking around, looking like the clown - helps put people's defenses down, and hides the fact that he's really a scheming and ambitious player, watching and spying on people, and reading their character and personality, assessing their strengths and weaknesses behind their backs.
Dongmin is still in danger. He could be eliminated despite his clever plays. But already he has shown how he is superior to others as a social game player.
On the topic of disgusting food, in episode 2 when Dongmin made the watermelon dongchimi kimchi, that was the most disgusting thing on that show. How can they eat something that others have eaten? This is worse than eating the beef powder meant for dogs. I'd rather eat the dog food kimchi jiggae than the dongchimi.
Edited to change the part about the elimination of Junseok.
I also though that at episode 2 D: but then I saw how they stop eating a little above the green part so they can cut off the chewed part, soo all good I guess.

MY god watched until episode 2 and this is getting sooo interesting.
This are my views soo far
1: Love seeing jang dongmin special cooker again, with soo little ingredients hehe, I would also have the respect face haha
2: I think the 3 ex-mapdong allience is to fear in the longer run because they would have a great deal of power in voting majority.
3: Chunsoo would definetly rebel in the next round, unless he manipulated the big guy to his ideas, of who to eliminated and so on. Dont quite like him but in mapdong majority wants to become the leader4: Like the extra guy at the beginning with the "secret allience" with the lawyer IDK why he hasnt done anything soo far but i quite like him lol
I`m loving the games soo far and the compatition is fierce in both side sooo good. -
Finally made the OP.

Also please vote on the poll.
Based on last season's thread and Crime Scene 3 thread that I OPed, I think that
"Hide only the winning team/eliminated player + Don't come until you've watched the latest episode"
will work the best.
soo pretty btw. : D gonna satr watching the episodes

Everyone's in Tokyo and wearing hats so they must want to keep fans guessing on whether G1 has returned to his original hair color. My guess is that G1 kept his red hair for the Japan promotions but I would like to be proven wrong.

wow, this is basically a concert! but a more fun and casual one. I envy yellkies who got to go.
I'm not that keen about Jiwon's red hair. It makes him look like a character from Japanese anime... maybe that red hair is to prepare for the Japan debut. I want the black haired Jiwon back with his hair down, not up. :D
I like the red hair, but I would have preferred to be a darker color.
Or the roots darker, to give it a more natural feeling , The way they tinted his hair seems like they just let the whole bottle of red fall on his head lol

Hmm.. JDM fans have been speculating that JDM went filming Society Game 2.
Surely enough he was missing from his regular LOL Facebook live for 2 weeks.
Around late April on the podcast he mentioned that he will be filming a program (although the name was bleeped) and from the sound of it that Kim Youngjoon was hinting it's a brainy program (he was teasing JDM for not anwering a quiz question).
Then on the latest podcast, JDM is again missing and the other DJs (Jo Jungchi, Kim Youngjoon) said he had other schedules and he's uncontactable.
Well.. I'll be keeping all fingers and toes crossed..
This would be such great news :D

It's extra funny that nobody seems to like the food (ramyeon in bread with instant soup?! ewww!) /drink (are you serious) that Tony made. I think I saw Duckie's disgusted looks too, but he must be so used to those weird recipe already XD

170530 Video Star - Dongmin & Jinho
Love his style so fresh, my God I was kinda thinking that I will not longer be easily amused by him, but I just literally watch him only without understand it a cent. I mean Just to see him again with his expression and mannerism made me a little nostalgic (been a long time since I keep tab of him), and let me tell you he still does that sexy move with his sleeves XD
that style really suits him well.

BTW Soo happy to still seeing him with Jinho :3

I was away from this thread for a long time and I was wondering whether I should post anything or not. In the end I decided to say it.
To say the truth, I'm really disappointed by Dongmin. He created an amazing opportunity for himself to rise in the industry and then he himself has ruined it. I honestly can't comprehend why someone as strong both intellectually and socially could get such poor results after having all the good cards in his hands.
I personally don't mind his 'scandalous' jokes and don't find them offensive in any way, but Dongmim should have learned on his mistakes (time and time again) and, having gained recognition from TG, steered his image toward milder kind of humour with intellectual flair. Obviously he'd still be hunted over his old statements, but as time passes and as long as image is not stained anymore, they become irrelevant. He should have restrained himself from making new 'controversial' statements at all costs.
His decision to go public with his relationship was a doomed move in the first place, but it somehow got even worse by first being completely overshadowed by Suzy/Lee Minho outing and then stained by Navi's statement.
Dongmin worked so hard and then when he finally succeeded... he blew it for the stupidest reasons. I just can't at that. I really want to stan him, he's awesome, but there's nothing to watch, so I'm lost and upset.
Guys, sorry for the not-so-flattering rant on the official thread. I just hope that we get Crime Scene 3 with Dongmin or some other cool show so that we could praise him instead.
My thoughs in some way,
I think going in a public relationship was a bad idea, there is always conflict. And one relationship so open as he did it, I don't know it was kinda force, mostly in part of Navi lol in my point of view.
He really reach top and was hit with a truck. Hope he stay calm and doesnt get affected much. Still he is one of the few celebrities that I wish to meet in person , he leave me that kinda of charm I don't know, of course it is not something in wanting to be her friend, but more like meet him, kinda of thing lol.

man I lost this season but it seems it isnt like the previous ones :/

Hope he stay strong,
always will be a fan . -
