Notsure if you have watched it yet, but the most recent episode of SBS Family Outing on 19th July must surely rank as one of the most lacklustre and boring episode ever. Viewers in Korea seem to think so too as ratings fell by a staggering 6.2% compared to the previous week. KBS2TV 1N2D have always topped SBS Family Outing in the ratings department but on 19th July, the entire KBS2TV Happy Sunday segment consisting of single digit program, Qualifying Men together with 1N2D managed to surpass Family Outing for the first time in months.
Ratings have been on a upward curve when the episodes of Park Hae Jin and Park Shi Yeon as the new family members were aired over the past fortnight but apparently it was just a temporary rise. Some experts have claimed that the loss of Daesung who had to be with Big Bang in Japan and couldn't make it for the Family Outing recording was the main reason for the sharp rating decline. But if you analyse it thoroughly, there were many reasons for the rating decline and was actually something waiting to happen. The departure of Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee were probably the catalyst.
The paragliding activity was supposed to be the highlight of the episode but only Yoon Jong Shin, Park Hae Jin, Kim Suro, Park Shi Yeon and Kim Min Joon took the jump. The most hilarious members Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Hyori, Kim Jong Kook and Ji Sang Ryul were all spared from the jump because of wind conditions. Even worse was that they had to edit out Kim Min Joon's jump because he had injured himself.
Another thing was the omission of games during daytime on the first day in recent memory. Many viewers would love to see their stars battle each other in games and the ensuing gags during the process. But not only has it been cancelled, there's no straight replacement for it making it feel like there's something missing.
If it was not mentioned at all in the program, you might have thought that Ji Sang Ryul was the only guest family member although Kim Min Joon was the other one. Kim Min Joon had really few scenes in this episode, probably because his paragliding portion was edited away and his injury made him uncomfortable. He did not appear on camera nor talk much. As for Ji Sang Ryul, he did not really do as well as expected of him and it was pretty awkward at times between him and the other members.
The kimchi mission for Yoon Jong Shin and Park Hae Jin took up way too much time and wasn't really funny at all. Ditto for the blueberries mission for Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook and Park Shi Yeon, nothing really happened again. Perhaps more time is needed for the 2 new family members to integrate themselves to the "family" enviroment.
Viewers might also feel that there were too many changes in this episode. Taking away Park Hae Jin and Park Shi Yeon who were new, Daesung was missing, Kim Min Joon and Ji Sang Ryul were guests, and you have almost half of the family who were new to each other. Viewers who are used to seeing familar faces are thus turned off as they can't get used to it. Stability is something that's very much desired.
Thinking again, the unfortunate injury suffered by Kim Min Joon probably caused the whole filming schedule to go awry and caught the production team by surprise. Min Joon could only return after getting painkiller injections at a local hospital which meant that filming had to be stopped. Almost half of the day was gone when you realize that we jumped straight to dinner time when the paragliding was obviously done at around noon. The program felt kind of disjointed if you had viewed it from start to finish.
Hopefully, things will improve from next week, with the return of wrestling in the mud and on a rainy day for the second part. Filming for the episode after this has already been completed, with Daesung returning and the guest family member is a female, although her identity remains a mystery for now. Any guesses?
I don't believe the missing of Deasang would cause the major plummet of the rating. If that's the case then the math is easy, just add Deasang to each of the variety show and guaranteed you a 6% add on
Feel bad for Kim Min Joon... wish he had more screen time.. and lastly.. I really really really hope PSY and PHJ could find there character? (image?) on FO... currently both there characters on FO right now are annoying (IMO).. Yes girl? a guy that keeps talking back to his hyungs? I mean come on...
The mid to late 2000s was definitely a prime era for Korean Real Variety and Entertainment shows. Each channel would compete on the weekends to earn the highest viewership rating, and each show would average around a 20% viewership rating every week - something nearly impossible to see nowadays!
'Family Outing' aired from June 2008 until February 2010 with a total of 84 episodes. The show was so popular that it had a second season, but Season 2 did not see much success as Season 1 and ended pretty quickly.
The show starred Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Hyori, Daesung, Lee Chun Hee, Kim Jong Gook, Kim Sooro, Yoon Jong Shin, Park Yejin and Park Hae Jin, and Park Si Yeon in the later half to replace Lee Chun Hee and Park Yejin, who had left the show mid-season. Seeing this line-up is already showing how HUGE the show was, and it was interesting to see superstars appear as guests and they essentially go on an overnight getaway with various projects to do during their stay.
On this show, the crew was responsible for preparing their own meals. The male members discovered a secret powder that had the answer to everything, but they had to make sure they didn't get caught by a fellow member of the crew.
If you were an avid viewer of the show, you definitely cannot forget about the Dumb & Dumber duo. On their first trip, Yoo Jae Suk and Daesung get assigned to cook the breakfast, but they run into some hurdles that seem pretty easy to solve.
Last but not least, we cannot forget the actual track that the family produced and released to the public. It was such a great song and represented the family so well! Make sure to try to spot Yoo Jaesuk's ad-libs!
Well -- that was all! These videos will definitely make you reminisce about the good old days when Family Outing took care of our weekend evenings. We hope that these videos put a smile on your face and helped you recall some great memories of this show! What was YOUR favorite 'Family Outing' moment? Let us know in the comments below!
Family Outing was my first ever Korean variety show. I was introduced to it bc I liked Big Bang and knew Daesung was on it (I probably watched the GD or T.O.P episode first). FO is my second favorite K-variety show ever next to Running Man. I wish they did a 10-year reunion episode. Maybe I'll have to wait for a 15-year one instead.

Since then, Mocha Monkey has grown from 1 store and 18 employees to 3 locations, and over 50 employees. Mocha Monkey uses and sells all handmade Jon Schmidt pottery.

So right now I have a Canon T6i DSLR camera with a road mic and it clips on top. And then I have a couple of tripods. One that is at home and one that is in the studio. And that is basically it. I have a couple of lights, it has really changed over time from when I started and I had these cheap little GoPro cameras. I have a wide angle lens for the camera and a couple of lights too because there is no natural light in the studio. That has made a big difference from some of my previous videos.
I think it just gives me more options. The Canon also is what I used to take pictures of all my pottery too so a lot of the videos I do are kiln unloading or whatever, so I will film the whole thing and then I will take pictures of all the pottery with a different lens so there is more depth of field. And so then I will put all those pictures in the video so the pictures are really high quality and the video is high quality but they are different because one is wide angle and one is more a of a zoom lens.
So I have done three Etsy restocks since I have had the YouTube channel. You have to keep in mind I have probably been doing between 20 and 30 thousand dollars worth of pottery at coffee shops every year for the last seven years. So just keeping up with that pottery has been somewhat difficult at times. So all of a sudden if I want to put stuff up online then how am I going to keep up with this stuff too. So basically I do a video and then I put it in the title that says, Etsy Restock Number 1, and I will put the link to the Etsy shop in the video I did and then people can check out pots they saw that they liked on Etsy.
A great family outing for us is on the boat in the summer to do surfing and wake-boarding. That is what we love doing. We will take out little eighteen month old and me and my wife will be out on the lake. He was with me surfing last year and hopefully he will be out surfing on his own this year.
Personal Health & FitnessWhen Emily, a teacher in Santa Ana, California, asked her students to stay after school for a special project, she was shocked to find out why they refused. They were afraid to walk home. With no crosswalks, stop signs, or crossing guards, the streets near the school were highly dangerous to cross during the late-day rush hour. Emily decided to make a school project out of it. The students began monitoring the number of cars that used the street and borrowed a radar from the police to record their speed. Their efforts helped enact change and make the streets of Santa Ana better for everyone.
