At the end of the debate... I got hooked on one thing! [Last time on Total Mess Debate] At the end of the debate? I only did great in the middle of the debate hehe [A self-objectifying sophisticated debate] -Wait a minute! -You need to know [The attacks begin] when [HYEIN caught in the crossfire] Oh my gosh! [A very heated debate hall] Hey, the question is [A very heated debate hall] [Someone please stop them] [*As this is an open-ended "total mess" debate, unconfirmed facts and lack of expertise may be portrayed] [Your enjoyment of the content purely for its entertainment value would be appreciated!] Okay, I made a choice [What will the next topic be?] "If you could only choose one place where would you choose to live?" [The next topic] "Live under the ground or live on the clouds" [This topic will be discussed shortly] Da! [Time to choose the next moderator] I love that noise [HYEIN again?] [Who will be this round's moderator?] [Sneak] -Oh! -Oh! [Getting more and more shameless] HAERIN! [Since everyone should get a turn!] [Strong HAERIN is the next moderator] Yeah [Is this allowed?] [Since everyone should get a turn!] [Strong HAERIN is the next moderator] -HAERIN, what should our next topic be? -KANG, KANG, KANG Dinosaurs...! [Discreetly speaking her mind] Dino... saurs! [Discreetly speaking her mind] My throat's a bit... [If dinosaurs wore neckties?] [The highly sought-after dinosaur theme] Oh, same here [If dinosaurs wore neckties?] [The highly sought-after dinosaur theme] It hurts quite a lot [Focused] [HAERIN in deep contemplation] -That one! Looks fun / -That one looks fun [Huh?] [A NEW dinosaur theme to help HAERIN] Ahhh! [The theme that everyone loves?] [If brachiosaurs wore turtlenecks?] [It should go all the way up their neck vs. it should have normal turtleneck proportions] -This one seems -Nice, nice [Another dinosaur expected to make an appearance] quite doable [Nice, nice] [Another dinosaur expected to make an appearance] -Is everyone okay with this one? -(MINJI) I like it [Everyone agrees on the topic] Let me think about it first [Must choose a side to take] Hey! [HANNI discovers something!] [Must choose a side to take] I met this little guy a while back! [Dinosaur appears] They look the same [2023 "Season's Greetings"] [Turns out they've met before] -It's so cute -I've decided / -(HANNI) Me too [A sharp contrast between left and right] (HAERIN) DANI just needs to decide now [Other priorities] One, "It should go all the way up their neck" [If brachiosaurs wore turtlenecks?] [+ Hand] -Did you raise your hand? Okay, then -Yes, I have raised it -So we have three people -"I have raised it" [HYEIN, HANNI, DANIELLE] -MINJI for "Normal turtleneck proportions" -Okay! [Only MINJI chooses this side] [If brachiosaurs wore turtlenecks?] [It should go all the way up their neck vs. it should have normal turtleneck proportions] [If brachiosaurs wore turtlenecks?] [Moderator] [It should go all the way up their neck vs. it should have normal turtleneck proportions] Team Go All the Way Up goes first [HANNI, HYEIN, DANIELLE] And, start! [HANNI, HYEIN, DANIELLE] To start [Focus!] the name of the opposing team already annoys me [Finds something that ticks her off] "Normal Turtleneck Proportions"? [Eyes wide open] Why do people wear turtlenecks? To cover their necks for warmth [Fumble fumble] [An item to keep your neck warm] But what if... Lower it, please [Fwoosh] [If the turtleneck is lowered?] -Ahh! So cold! -It'd be so cold! Brachios would've seen humans wearing turtlenecks and thought "My neck feels so cold too!" [How Brachios feel] But if they wore a regular turtleneck? [Bare] Just how cold would their necks be?! [Sad] "I'm so cold!" [They'd walk around with their necks freezing!!] "Ah, so warm" [Heating UP] [They'd walk around with their necks freezing!!] It'd just be a T-shirt, then [This isn't a turtleneck, it's just a T-shirt] Then... [Great etiquette] -Let's hear from the opposing side -All right [In proportion to the turtleneck] [MINJI's argument] I believe there's a right fit for every garment Even when humans wear turtlenecks [Calm and collected] they don't bring the neck up all the way There's no such thing as custom-tailored turtlenecks You either buy a regular turtleneck and try to make it work [Focused] or just buy a scarf if you're cold and wear it [Easy, right?] But some animals can't wear scarves [Rebutting] [Total Mess Debate rule: No rebuttals during a first statement] Come on, it's my time! [Rebutting] [Total Mess Debate rule: No rebuttals during a first statement] Let's say [The TIME OVER bell rings] Hey, she spoke during my turn Is this allowed? [It's not fair] [Mouth shut] I'm sorry I'll treat you to food later [Wallet opens in apology] You'll treat me to food? Okay, forgiven! [Deal!] [♥Worked out to my advantage♥] Now, you may begin debating [Total Mess Debate officially kicks off] Like you said custom-tailored turtlenecks don't exist [Overwhelmed] [The tireless energizer of Total Mess Debate] But! If you take a look [Using body language to help] at people wearing turtlenecks [Twins] they usually do go all the way up their necks It's up to you to adjust it as you wish [DANIELLE: Go all the way up] [Adjust the length according to the weather] Pull it up when you're cold or down when you're not [DANIELLE: Go all the way up] [Adjust the length according to the weather] Don't you think brachiosaurs deserve the freedom to do that too? [Advocating for the freedom of brachiosaurs] -And! Freedom! -And! Freedom! / -Freedom, freedom! [Sudden demands for freedom] (HANNI, HYEIN, DANIELLE) Freedom!!! [Soul leaving body] All right, hold on a minute! [Whoa, whoa] I find this forced cry for freedom so strange Designers should also have the freedom [MINJI: Normal turtleneck proportions] to make and sell turtlenecks with the proportions they see fit [MINJI: Normal turtleneck proportions] But they'll want to pull it up this high if they're cold! [DANIELLE: Go all the way up] [There will be no business in cold places] Brachiosaurs can buy scarves [A scarf will do] If they wear scarves they'll have to wrap it up all the way like this [Like a tornado potato] (DANIELLE) That makes no sense [Hehehe] You all know Steve Jobs, right? [All of a sudden?] Yes, that's you [Hah] Enough, please [Block] [No? I'm HANNI] Steve Jobs was known for his turtleneck look [Steve Jobs = Turtleneck] Which one do you think looks more like Steve Jobs? [Left] [Right] The right one for me [Obviously] Even Steve Jobs didn't wear his turtlenecks all the way up -for comfortable movement and speech -Look. "Turtleneck" He has it up to a comfortable length [Neck and neck] [A battle of fire and ice] If you put glasses on that dinosaur he's going to be Steve Jobs -Exactly -No [Assisting] [Yeah, no] You don't know! Were you Steve Jobs? [Outburst] Do you know how hard I worked [FYI, no one here is Steve Jobs] playing the role of Steve Jobs for several days straight? [HANNI did play the part, however] It's only natural that turtlenecks go all the way up [Not listening] [HANNI: Go all the way up] How do you not know Steve Jobs? Okay, we'll wrap it up there Please present a short final statement Then, we'll choose the winning side [The moderator will choose the winner] We always wear various types of clothes So what occurred to me is that it'd be better if all sleeves were made long and all pants were made long too Then, we could adjust them to fit us [A solution would be to make all clothes long to start and adjust them to fit us] You can wear it up all the way if you want [HANNI: Go all the way up] [Dinosaur or human, everyone should adjust their clothes to fit themselves] or pull it down if you want as well [HANNI: Go all the way up] [Dinosaur or human, everyone should adjust their clothes to fit themselves] I'll begin my final statement [Team Normal Turtleneck Proportions] [MINJI's final statement] For cases like the brachiosaur where getting custom-tailored clothes may be hard [Sad long-necked Brachio] It's right for them to buy regular turtlenecks [MINJI: Normal turtleneck proportions] that are already available in stores [A realistic approach] They can use various items to layer [They can layer with items like scarves] and achieve a more stylish look [Pfft] [Wrapping it up with an F/W look proposal] That's what I would recommend [Not a guest] [Wrapping it up with an F/W look proposal] I've made my decision [The moderator has made her decision] One, two [Who will be the victor of this round?] [MINJI, who fought a lone battle?] [Or the friends of the brachiosaur?] three! [The moderator's decision: Normal turtleneck proportions] [This cannot be] My reason is... -It'll be cold for the rest of its life! -It's because! No, wait! / -Poor guy Let's put a blanket on it! [Rushing over in concern] Okay, my reason is [There is a reason] [Rushing over in concern] After listening to the final speeches [Let's hear what she has to say] and our friend Brachio here is very special If it had clothes made to fit itself specifically no one else would be able to wear them That's why it should wear clothes (HAERIN) that are already available in stores That's the reason behind my decision [Persuaded by the realistic problem] But I also agree that wearing a turtleneck that comes goes all the way up and adjusting it as it sees fit would be a great solution too [Also agrees with the opposing team] -However! -Then you should've picked us Let's go with this one [Moderator for this round] [If you could only choose one place to live?] [Live under the ground vs. On the clouds] Live under the ground, raise your hands [If you could only choose one place to live?] [The glancing around begins] [Okay, me] Me too... [HYEIN cautiously raises her hand] -Oh my! -Next, live on the clouds [I made the right choice, right?] -Me -Yeah! [MINJI & HAERIN choose without delay] [If you could only choose one place to live?] [Live under the ground vs. On the clouds] [If you could only choose one place to live?] [Live under the ground vs. On the clouds] [Moderator] Ah [Testing the megaphone] I didn't say to start yet but they're already... [Started on their own] [Awkward] [Heh] -Do you want to live underground? -No [Never] Humans must be able to appreciate nature and see the sun too Let's say this [Team Underground are in deep discussion] Carrots are grown underground [Whispering] -Yes, yes / -We'll be able to use this [This one's ours] [Tailored to the mod] [Strategy: Use carrots to win favor] Time's up [No more discussion] Okay Team Underground will go first [HANNI, HYEIN's 60-second first statement] And, start! If you live on the clouds yes, you'll be able to live a fantastical life [Acknowledges the dream-like life] But realistically, clouds are humidification of water [HANNI: On the clouds] So there's no solid thing where you can place an object or anything [HANNI: On the clouds] [Hmm] -How will you set up your home, then? -You can't [Backing her up] -How will you place your bed? -You can't decorate your home [Backing her up more] And how will you come down if you live in the sky? It's not like you can ride a bird [That's true] -And clouds... / -Oh! [Time's up] [Team Underground's first statement ends] We didn't hear any good things about living underground [Throwing facts] [A very effective fact-attack] We were saving that for our next statement [A very effective fact-attack] -You just wait, you just wait -Yeah [KIM MINJI, you just wait] [Pleased] Team On the Clouds [Next, Team On the Clouds' first statement] If you live underground, that means everything will have to be artificial That means you won't be able to feel sunlight nor will you be able to feel the wind You can't do anything [Oh my] I can't live without sunlight... Yes, you can have artificial versions of nature underground but will that truly give you the same positive effects you receive from actual nature? [Perfectly logical] [HAERIN: On the clouds] That's one part of our argument [HAERIN: On the clouds] Thank you [Wrapping it up due to the time limit] And now you may begin -the Total Mess Debate! -Okay, first of all [First rebuttal] [★Total Mess Debate OPEN for business★] DANIELLE, what is your favorite food? [DANIELLE's favorite food] -Carrots -Carrots are field vegetables [Carrots are grown underground] You can only eat them if you live underground [Oooh...?] [A rebuttal catered to the carrot-loving mod] And not only carrots but more of DANIELLE's favorites like her favorite flowers and animals [HYEIN: Underground] all exist in the ground [HYEIN: Underground] -Okay, I'm sorry, but -They don't live underground [Objection] You'll be stuck with roots for the rest of your life [Counterattack at the maximum decibel level] You won't see flowers or carrots Only their roots, people! [Quick-fire attack] [HAERIN: On the clouds] [You're living underground, not above the ground] Everyone!!! [A very heightened atmosphere] [A very heightened atmosphere] You want to look at roots for the rest of your life? [Okay, that's it] If you have a garden! [Gives out yellow cards after much patience] [Hey, read the room] [Super up close] [I am DANIELLE...] I won't be giving out those weird yellow cards or red cards [And I said I wouldn't give cards out...] Nooo! [I tried so hard to stick to my word...] [In the end, DANIELLE broke her promise] [Serious mode] [Since DANIELLE took one for the team we will now proceed peacefully] I'm sorry, but [Another rebuttal] if you took geography class you'd know there are caves under the ground that have their own ecosystems Caves themselves have their own ecosystems [HANNI: Underground] and they have their own ground and soil and everything [HANNI: Underground] But still fake -It's not fake! -But still fake [What?!] [Yes it is] -Someone didn't pay attention in class -Yeah, but still fake [So very mature] There are people that are already preparing... For example, if there's like [HANNI: Underground] an apocalypse or a natural thing that wipes out everything on Earth [HANNI: Underground] -I mentioned before, there are ecosystems -We're developing ways to flee to space [Another counterattack] Know what I mean, right? Can you show the drawing that you did? [That drawing there] [HANNI wants to submit DANI's drawing as supporting evidence] [A drawing appears] Look, you guys are on top of the clouds [+ Being immature] [HANNI: Underground] And you guys are underground [+ Being immature] [MINJI: On the clouds] [A tremendous clash of illogic] -Inside the dust -Without any buildings... -Dirt and bugs -On the clouds... No! [Three consecutive attacks by MINJI] It's always better above ground [MINJI: On the clouds] Sunshine and everything [MINJI: On the clouds] If you live on the clouds The view will be incredible, won't it? [Can't give up an amazing view] But there's nothing on the clouds We've seen it on airplanes before, right? I find it beautiful [It's beautiful, so end of story] -I still take photos every time -There's nothing but white [An inescapable Total Mess] Okay, everyone I've made my decision [Stop, please] [Decision made!] ♪ Bam bam bararam ♪ [Which side will the moderator take?] [Victory to the realistic approach?] [Or victory to an idealistic fantasy?] I choose to live underground [The moderator's decision] [Shock] [Disappointment] [That's right] When the debate first started I definitely thought living on clouds would feel so much happier and better [DANIELLE was already picturing life on the clouds] But as HANNI explained very well [Teacher, are you proud of me?] you'd be able to create ecosystems And it could be possible in the future [HANNI's more plausible argument was more convincing] It's even possible right now [Like an expert] That's why I chose this team [Team Underground wins] [HANNI, HYEIN each win a point] Great work [Team Underground wins] [HANNI, HYEIN each win a point] [The second Total Mess Debate] [Individual Scores] [MINJI + Brachio 2 pts, HAERIN 0 pts HANNI 2 pts, DANIELLE 2 pts, HYEIN 2 pts] Here I go [Choosing the next moderator] [Time to choose today's last moderator] One, two, three! [Spinning] [And our last moderator is?] [Freeze] Oh! HANNI! [Lands on HANNI] -Yeah, finally -Wow, it landed on me? [Is it finally my turn?] -Woohoo -I wonder how she'll do [All right, let's see] "A time machine to go 100,000 years into the past [HANNI's pick] [If you could time travel?] or 100,000 years into the future?" [If you could time travel?] Oh, this one's tough [Not easy to pick a side] Or maybe instead of 100,000 years -100 years into the future or past -10 years? 100 years? [If you could time travel?] [100 years into the future vs. into the past] That sounds good [If you could time travel?] [100 years into the future vs. into the past] Has everyone chosen? Okay [Which side did each member choose?] Hands for "100 years into the past" Okay [HYEIN & HAERIN choose "Into the past"] Future for me [100 years into the future!] -Same here -Okay [DANIELLE & MINJI choose "Into the future"] I'll give you some time [First, team discussion time] Okie [First, team discussion time] [If you could time travel?] [100 years into the future vs. into the past] [If you could time travel?] [100 years into the future vs. into the past] [Moderator] Whichever team feels more confident can go first [First statement goes to the more confident] Me! [DANIELLE, who's always full of confidence] To start if there's good medication or something that exists in the future we can see how the world operates in the future then come back to the present and accomplish many beneficial things [DANIELLE: 100 years into the future] And if something bad is going to happen 100 years in the future -We can stop it! -we can stop it [First statement ends] All right [Next team!] I'd like to go back to feel and experience things [History encountered via documents or pictures] that I've only seen through text or videos [Full of curiosity] Since we have records of our history we already know what will happen But if we go 100 years into the future we have no idea what awaits us [Anxious] [HAERIN: 100 years into the past] I think it'll be so fun and it'll make me happy to be able to see what kind of lives the people around me lived long ago [Huh???] For example, I'd be so happy if I could experience firsthand how my parents used to live [Determined] [60 seconds are up!] [End of Team Past's statement] It'd be such a precious memory for me My parents weren't alive 100 years ago, though Mine weren't either Well, then!!! Your family [Parents → Family] [Not much difference really] -All right -Anyway [Anyway, moving on] And, start! [Final topic for today] [Let the Total Mess Debate begin!] First of all, if we go back 100 years... [Standing up] [DANIELLE's energized from the start again] You said you wanted to study history, right? But instead of studying the past how about we study the future? [Sitting back down like everyone else] -She sat back down -You can study the future which is something that has never been done before [Continuing her speech regardless] Wouldn't you be able to learn much more in the future? [DANIELLE: 100 years into the future] History is about things we already know But knowing something [Field experience is totally different] -and experiencing it yourself are different -Very different [Field experience is totally different] If you go 100 years into the future how do you even know you'll be alive? Because you're alive when you go there [The premise is that you're alive] [Traveling in a time machine] But what if you took a time machine 100 years into the future [Saying the same thing] but you no longer exist there? It would be the present me going so it wouldn't matter [Frustrated] [How many times do I have to...] -Let's stick to the issue, please -And also earlier [※ No blurring lines ※] -A red card, please -You said our parents wouldn't be alive... [Politely requesting a card] She just misunderstood [Lets it pass] [A cheese slice to promote understanding] Everyone [Moderator intervenes for a smooth debate] Think of it as having the ability to use a time machine [Penalty applied] [Moderator intervenes for a smooth debate] and you can use it to make the world a better place Going back to the past to possibly change the future -could be a solution as well -Um, for me... I don't want to go back to the past [Adamant] I want to change my future [A definite pro-futurist] If you want to create a better world going back 100 years and trying to change what happened then [DANIELLE: 100 years into the future] you'll have no idea what could happen 100 years later [DANIELLE: 100 years into the future] There's such a thing as the "butterfly effect" -With a very small thing... -Wait! Yellow card for MINJI -Why? -Why? [What's the reason?] Her outfit's a bit boring [Boring] [Needs something to stand out] [I'm sorry?] I think she just doesn't like it -How do I look? -Ooh! [Do you like my outfit now?] -Yes, I love it / -Okay, thank you [The moderator loves it] [Content with the new look] Continue There's such a thing as the "butterfly effect" [DANIELLE: 100 years into the future] where if you do something small then that can lead to something really big [DANIELLE: 100 years into the future] But if you go see the future, likewise even if you simply informed people of what you saw [HAERIN: 100 years into the past] how do you know it won't affect things and change the future as well? [HAERIN: 100 years into the future] For me [I have something to say too] the reason why I chose this side is that I want to be able to experience the performances of artists I love [Good point] As HAERIN said earlier, you don't know what's going to happen in the future so it seems too unpredictable and scary I guess some people could see it as a challenge, though (HYEIN) But for me I believe there are so many more things [HYEIN: 100 years into the past] that I can do and experience in the past That's why I chose this [HYEIN: 100 years into the past] We leave the choice to you, Moderator I don't know anymore [Gave up] I think I just want to live in the present [I'm just a puppy right now] That would be the best -I agree with that -The present's the best! Live in the moment, guys [Finally, a unanimous opinion] To be honest [Time for the final say] If we saved 100 or 200 years of our time by going into the past to fix things we can't predict how things may be different now But I do believe that things would be a little better And that's why I choose this side [The moderator's decision] [100 years into the past] [Wait!] May I please add something [DANIELLE wants to say something] to your statement? [Accepted] [What does she want to say?] If we went 100 years into the future and the world we found ourselves in... [A very long explanation] So! We should go into the future and [Let's stop now] No, no, no! [Please, give me a chance] [Let's stop now] -I'm not done yet -Okay -I get what you're saying -And so -but it's too late -But, no, no, no! [If you think it's too late, it is too late] [Hahaha] [Rummage] [Laughter stops immediately] That was too much [I can't stand excessive behavior] [HYEIN gets the first red card of the debate] [Taken aback] [Oh, no] [The red card summons an alien] -You know -Yeah [Intense as ever, the debate comes to an end] The queen of this second debate [Drumroll] [Boom mic] [Presenting the second Total Mess Debate Queen] [Who will it be?] The Total Mess Debate rising star HYEIN LEE! -Yeah! -Wow, wow, wow [Come forth, Queen] Wow, wow!
