no one takes the ISAC more seriously than CHOI MINHO

"Company will declined isac to avoid injury if the group in preparing or in the middle of promoting", and there's sm being smart by putting nct dream in e-sport playing pubg. They got both screen time and happy boys than can playing one of their favourite games, plus no injury risk 😂

When she said ISAC was extremely popular then, it was when shinee, f(x), sistar, 2pm, infinite, missA, suju were hella active in them. The golden era

SM idols never afraid to interact with each other😂

Only i can remember is doyoung from nct looking like he wish he was in any other place in the world but isac. Every year😂

NCT always looks so done with ISAC but their huge competitiveness beats them and they end up with good results lol

no one hates isac as much as nct 127 (thanks for the likes and responses)

I don't know why, but I pronounce it as "I Zac".

i always say "eye sack" in my head. it's way funnier that way.

When I hear and read the word 'ISAC' I always remember "Sehun Jeonghan and Johnny" moments💖

I remember the first ISAC :"") Each company formed a group SM guys were red team, jyp was blue, cube was yellow And their birth dates were written on their name tags. Good old days :"")

doyoung is already on the floor before ISAC even starts

BTOB and APINK being on isac is gold. They just casually interact, no issues, they just play and hang around. Pandas and Melodies are pretty chill about it. They are like a family going on a trip. And lets not forget, they always bag awards. Ps. I miss them attending isac but yeah, they are a veteran idol now so...

idk but just reminding yall *(sehun talking to jeonghan thought he was johnny)*

“you’re not gonna wanna interact with any male idol” wow..nct and red velvet lit rally can’t relate

I have been watching ISAC since 2012 and I agree with what she said that ISAC on its early time was very famous and high standard because idols were seriously immersed to sports and it was really fun to watch.

Meanwhile, NCT just laying down, chillin' while the other idols were so hyped up for the competition. Did NCT seriously hate ISAC more than anyone else? But yet, they're bringing a lot of good result such as gold medal at the end of the show ._.)

I suddenly remember how NCT just bundled up with themself, except with Red Velvet. Their manager is scaryy

Red Velvet lowkey didn't let Irene play for archery because they all want to go home HAHAHAHAHAHA

does anyone else pronounce isac as 'izaak' or 'isaac'?

It was so nice seeing BTOB, Apink, VIXX, and Infinite during ISAC. They were always so friendly to each other. Miss those days!

ISAC was so fun when teams like 2PM, Miss A, f(x) and After School joined. They were really competitive because people really remember the members on how well they performed. Edit: I apologise for not mentioning other groups that participated! The one listed in the original comment is my top picks hehe

flashback to Olivia Hye from Loona being eliminated because she fell asleep- (for those who ask: it was for isaac games and the zoning out competition..she lost because she fell asleep..pictures and what not are my sources)

Never gonna forget how BTS got banned from ISAC for breaking the rules and then used the whole arena for themselves in a run episode😂😌

i miss got7 and bts being in isac :(

‘They try not to talk to male idols’ meanwhile JYP nation playing mafia together (StrayKids and TWICE)

no one hates isac more than 127

I would like to know if KARD could have a chance to participate in ISAC for being a co-ed group?

Isac now days aren’t interesting no more cuz there are more fans especially females and they are more overprotective. Back in the days Apink, btob, vixx, all those OG groups didn’t care if they interact or hug or touch each other. And nobody started rumors or scandals. I miss the old times 😭❤️

SISTAR is the most competitive Girl Group in ISAC history...and SISTAR BORA is The QUEEN of ISAC and acknowledge as ISAC legend since she alone has more medal than others group :D :v not only good at running, Bora slay in run, hurdles, fast walking, high jump, archery, etc :v (she's like participate in almost all of the game in ISAC hahahha) not even mention that she is the OBSTACLE QUEEN in Dream team (the only Idol Girl that can fight Ricky in Obstacle)

Honestly NCT 127 not wanting to be at isac has became another reason to enjoy in and of itself.

SM artists always support each other in ISAC. f(x) & SHINee moments in ISAC were so ADORABLE😍 SM FAMILY❤❤❤

I think the same as you lol, I'd find stolen glances more suspicious than just normal talking

10:06 YUTA TRIGGERED 💚💚💚💚💚 (Stan Nct for a clearer skin)

No one can beat Kpop’s 2nd gen era to ISAC

As me I honestly don't see what's wrong other groups talking to other groups, like we are social being we don't mind talking to one another, being stripped from that is actually sad

i thought it was pronounced "isaac" like a boy name

could you answer questions or do a video about lgbt idols please ? I really would like to learn more about that whole topic I think it's so interesting to hear how it is with korean artists/groups compared to western artists because I highly doubt everyone in the industry is straight...

I miss Apink and BTOB at ISAC, messing around and hanging out with each other. Also the fans being so chill with it, and not making any rumors or not spreading hate with each other. I miss BTOPink.ㅠㅠㅠ

Doyoung is already on the floor before ISAC even starts

yall remember that time NCT's Jaehyun was so bored he was just scrolling on his phone??😂😂

"Don't interact with male idols" Red Velvet and NCT,Twice and Stray Kids: Y'all heard something?

thank you for making this video! the question about isac being rigged was really interesting because in the new years isac, a member of my favorite group got 10-10-10 on archery and literally set a new record, but for the chuseok isac, he wasn't even picked to do archery, so i'm still wondering if mbc didn't want it to get "boring" by having him win again? edit: y'all i'm talking about hwall, former member of the boyz

“the more secretive you are the more it’s obvious” what come to my mind is about Taemin & Naeun. how they’re act when around each other on stage. I said what i said.

It's interesting that brought up the role of eye contact between couples that choose to avoid speaking to each other in public. I never took it seriously in the past. Now I see why so many fans focus on those type of videos on youtube.

BTOB AND GOT7 NEEDS TO GO TO ISAC AGAIN I SWEAR. IT IS NEVER THE SAME WITHOUT THEM

i see alot of apink and btob clips everywhere in isac

ASTRO is literally social butterfly on ISAC, they interact with almost all male groups specially their besties in seventeen, nct and then there is wekimeki x astro and friends x astro interaction despite opposite gender too.

I love how #ASTRO is so serious with winning gold in every new sport they are competing to for the past 3 years now. And I love how they are having fun at the same time. I also love seeing their interactions with their #WekiMeki sisters, and other male idol groups like Monsta X and Seventeen. I just hope that on the New Year's special they are going there as a complete group. ^_^

“Is Chuseok Hoseok’s brother?” 😂😂😂

Not @ nct for using camera timer rather than ask people around them to take their picture 😂

Happy Chuseok Soobin, I will learn about the ISAC with you, thanks for share 👍👍

nct hates isac so bad LMAOOO but they get so competitive

"You're not gonna wear smtg like purple tracksuit" . Reminds me how stray kids wear it almost a whole time😂

I love how you are being honest without throwing shade at anyone. That's a good character trait!

I really really really want Blackpink to participate at this kind of activities.. I just really want them to interact more or see their other side ...

hearing ISAC reminds me the dorkness of iKON on ISAC last january, when they thought they also won when a group of the same color of their tracksuit won lmao and when they fell while running to the members. ugh i miss 7kon, who else does?

2:56 that's why twice is always in archery guys

15:25 Seungmin and Jisung be sitting there watching the homis 😂 (Omg, thank you so much for all the likes!)

i think ISAC is biased towards groups like Wendy from Red Velvet got so much screentime even though she wasn’t participating 😂

I never understood this whole concept of if an idol is dating its a scandal, I mean if fans were truly happy for their idol you’d think they would support them no matter who they talk to. That and over shipping idols, some can’t even breathe next to eachother without getting shipped.

Apink and Btob never cared and were sticking to each others the whole time

Theres a lot of czinnie here omaygad HAHAHAHAHHAAH #1 HATER OF ISAC NCT😂

But ISAC for me is all about Jeonghan getting athletic and sleepy all the time. There’s no in between. And when Kai played rock paper scissors alone 😂

Meanwhile there's Stray Kids who literally could care less they talk with everyone male or female they don't care 🤣🤣 they seem especially close to twice tho since they in the same company i even remember that icon moment where they danced to "dance the night away " in front of them it was hilarious and awesome 😂😂

Watched this just after finishing this years Chuseok ISAC. Brought up a lot of interesting points about the realities of how hard it is for rookies. It's also funny how they brought out a new event where idols compete by spacing out haha. At least they can't get hurt in this event. Anyways, great video and hopefully we'll see your personal experience!

omg the title of the video got me LOL what an fun topic to cover!!

Am I the only one who really wants to see blackpink participate in ISAC?? :(

ISAC introduced me to BtoB and I LOVE THEM

This was much needed. I've always wanted to know how the kpop industry works from an insider's pov and this channel does exactly that. Great work and keep it up!

8:00 we all know who she’s talking about *_cough_* bangtan *_cough_*

you look like a mix of BP's Jisoo and SNSD's Tiffany!!

13:49 GET THIS VIDEO TO 3000 LIKES!

I remember when It was 2nd gen, SISTAR owned ISAC. Miss those times 🤧

I don't think I've ever really thought about the show when not seeing the name, and I don't think I've ever thought of it in an acronym. It's basically just "the idol athlete show" to me.

I remember my favorite Manga/Manhua on Mangatoon App "IMITATION" . (which is very underated but A VERY VERY good manhua that I really really recommend especially if you are a KPOP fan) The title of the Manga is "IMITATION" and the story is about the real life or behind the scene of KPOP idols, (including dating/ secret relationships between idols, struggles on the KPOP industry, scandals, Dispatch, polotical influence etc) the first chapters were on ISAC as well.. Anyway the art on the first chapters are not that great but the story line was excellent :)

Coming back to this after 2 years. I'm glad YGE stopped sending their idols to ISAC. YGE did a smart move in preventing their idols from having serious injuries especially for their girlgroup. ISAC doesn't give a damn when idols have injury during participation.

Do idols know that they’re being shipped with other idols or even w their members. Like do they search their own names on KZfaq or google, ... I don’t know if it’s true but a lot of people say that chaeyoung (twice) was asked by a fan to watch a MiChaeng (Mina+Chae) video on KZfaq and she said she had already seen that video. Could you maybe talk about this topic ?

3:45 I was like, Apink interacted with all groups 😅 Male and female 😂

Nobody:.... Me: *thinking of Choi Minho’s high jump*

Jeon JK takes every competition fkn seriously he’s just sooo competitive !! Not a rookie but a GOLDEN MAKNAE💜💜

Twice is literally just there to wave at fans and mess around hahaha

LOONA Hyunjin though, she always making gestures about wanting to go home

I just wanna say it's really sad that male and female idols can't even talk to each other due to delulu fans cuz they can just be friends ya know?

is it weird I’ve been pronouncing it i-sack??

Well in JYP they are not afraid in interacting to each other. I totally love theirelationship it's really like a family.

No wonder Olivia Hye fell asleep. 😂

Can you maybe film an Apartment/House Tour ?? Bc your Room Looks so good

7:43 For that question, it seems a bit true based on what happened to BTS. They broke ISAC rules after signing a 2 year contract because they had to do concerts and couldn't attend ISAC. Ever since then, for MBC Gayo Doujeun, they were treated unfairly with their performance times. They weren't invited in 2019 and that carried onto Gfriend and TxT. Anyway, I don't want to make assumptions

I agree, ISAC really was popular back then but I think it’s also partially because of how interesting it was to watch idols actually take the competitions seriously. This was actually how I came to know about 4Minute, because they had a rivalry with Sistar in Archery, and it was really fun to watch. So I guess, that also answers the q about how ISAC may affect groups.. exposure! Anyway, great Idol Insider vid as always! 👍🏼

If you’re a solo artist (assuming solo artists can attend, I don’t know much about ISAC) would it be easier to just like, walk around and talk to anyone or would there be limitations set by maybe a manager about where you could hang out?

If anyone was wondering: She had to wear a navy blue tracksuit ~ (I googled it btw.. so small change google lied to me)

NCT’s Yuta and IZ*ONE’s Yena got married at ISAC though.

ISAC is still one of my favorite shows involving idols

i miss bts at the ISAC! but now that their SO popular i kinda get it

Why am I wearing a super orange tracksuit???? Naruto is not pleased with your choice.

Back in 2010s isac was much more fun for idols and fans cause I remember most male and female groups interacting with each other, cheering etc.. It was pretty chill back then

Didn’t BTS get banned from ISAC for taking a selfie? I feel like they did it on purpose. Honestly, and event where I’d have to move would be no fun for me.

Purple is such a pretty color wdym-
