DKB finds trainee-era mementos during Chuseok treasure hunt

K-pop group DKB shared a nostalgic moment during a Chuseok treasure hunt held at their agency, where they discovered "treasures" containing significant records from their trainee days.

Chuseok special treasure hunt features high-stakes pursuit

In a video released on DKB's official YouTube channel, the members participated in a game to find treasures hidden throughout their company building. The content featured one member acting as the "tagger" to catch the others. Drawing on past experience appearing on the Running Man Spin-off, the tagger expressed ambition to catch the members, recalling how name-tag ripping games once forced participants to reveal their faces. The tagger also teased that members would need to perform individual talents to avoid being caught.

As the game began, members searched various floors to locate the hidden items. The tagger maintained a tense atmosphere by chasing members and demanding individual talents from those who found treasures to prevent their elimination. The members fully immersed themselves in the game, utilizing elevators and corners of each floor to find treasures or evade the tagger. Some discovered prizes such as rights to film Reels, while the tagger kept the tension high by checking individual talents every time a member was caught.

Trainee-era records hidden within the treasures

The treasure hunt took an unexpected turn when the identity of the numbers written on the treasures was revealed. The items found by the members contained specific dates linked to their time as trainees or their original audition dates.

In the video, the members expressed surprise upon realizing the numbers were tied to their pasts. After checking a number, one member remarked, "I think it's the date of my audition," while others reminisced, saying, "I was twenty-two back then" and "I was really young then." Upon discovering treasures with specific numbers, the members faced their past selves by connecting the dates to old footage. Looking at their appearances in the old videos—noting things like thin pants and slimmer physiques—the members commented on their past styles and physical changes. One member even recalled, "I was really skinny back then," while watching the old footage.

Members reminisce about trainee life

Summoned by the numbers, the members naturally shared stories from their trainee days, including memories of living together in a dormitory. Certain members recalled their former living conditions, noting, "Back then, we shared a dorm and only three of us were out there." They also reflected on how their relationships have evolved, with some members noting they weren't close enough in the past to even call each other "E-Chan.'
