LUN8 delivers quirky Chuseok greetings via relay calligraphy

K-pop boy group LUN8 delivered Chuseok greetings through a relay calligraphy mission while wearing *hanbok*. In a video released on the 25th, the members performed a mission where they continued sentences using specific characters, resulting in a series of unique and mismatched messages.

From "Pung-pung-pung" to "Be Happy": A mismatched relay calligraphy

The video features the members dressed in *hanbok* to celebrate Chuseok through relay calligraphy. The members participated by taking the final character written by the previous person to form a continuous sentence. Yuma, acting as the first runner, started with the characters "Pung-pung-pung" and wrote the phrase "Pung-pung-pung during Chuseok." In the video, Yuma expressed confidence, saying, "I did this a lot as homework when I was a student," and adding, "I am confident in writing beautifully every year." He also expressed his desire to spend Chuseok with his family in Korea and mentioned their appearance in *hanbok*.

The second runner, Kyle, took the last character of Yuma's sentence and completed the phrase, "I will perform magic, so tell me your wish." Kyle offered a preemptive apology to calligraphy enthusiasts, noting that many members of the group struggle with handwriting.

Next, the third runner, Takuma, pondered a sentence starting with "Ro" and wrote, "What I create today is romantic." Takuma mentioned, "This is the first time I've done it this way since elementary school," and even brought up the gold tape that used to be awarded to winners in the past.

The fourth runner, Seongcheol, took over a sentence starting with "Chu." Seongcheol wrote "Have a Chuseok" and then struggled to find a sentence starting with the last character, "Seok." He eventually completed the sentence, "Have a Chuseok and don't get angry, just be happy," adding, "Since our team is famous for bad handwriting, I didn't expect to be in charge of the writing." He concluded his greeting by quoting an expression his family uses when someone loses their cool or things go wrong.

"Even if it makes no sense, it's a LUN8-style greeting" — Members' honest reviews

The members combined the completed relay sentences and shared their individual interpretations. The full completed sentence read: "Pung-pung-pung during Chuseok, I will perform magic, so tell me your wish, what I create today is romantic, have a Chuseok and don't get angry, just be happy."

Once the sentence was revealed, the members exchanged opinions regarding the flow of the context. They pointed out parts where the sentences did not connect smoothly, noting that the transition between "what I create today is romantic" and "have a Chuseok" was awkward. In particular, there were reactions that the "have a Chuseok" part did not fit the preceding context. The members emphasized, "Since it makes no sense, it is LUN8's Chuseok greeting, so you should think we made it really well," highlighting that this nonsensical sentence itself captures the group's unique identity. The members concluded the relay greeting by using voices that matched the feel of the handwriting they each produced.
