All you need to know about the first episode of The Game Caterers x JYP

As The Game Caterers x JYP's first episode kicked off, the eleven JYP groups made a grand yet chaotic entrance with each of their group songs playing in the background. From TWICE's cheerful and jumpy entry to Stray Kids playfully carrying their maknae, I.N., into the playground, the show was already filling the air with laughter.

Following the introduction of all the players, Park Jin-young and JYP's youngest member, K from KickFlip, read the oath to all the scout members. The first game was a balance game where the members of each group were expected to balance themselves on a sheet of paper. After every round in which a group was eliminated, the paper was folded in half.

As the game neared its end, most of the groups were eliminated as they failed to balance themselves together. The last standing group, TWICE, won the round because they closely stuck together. Following this, all 40 participants gathered to play a series of games to win their dinner. There were a total of three rounds, and only two rounds were revealed in the first episode.

The first round was a character-guessing game where all ten participants had to identify characters shown to them through a rapid-fire round. If one of the members failed to do so or guessed the character incorrectly, a part of their food would be reduced. The first character guessing game for the drinks, and the participants won with very little damage.

The second round was the four-syllable game, where the host, Na PD, would spell out the first two syllables and the participants had to add two more syllables to create a meaningful word or phrase. Several hilarious moments came out during this section, such as Bang Chan playfully fighting with Na PD for stating Chang-bin's answer as incorrect.

When Na PD gave the two syllables, "SEU" and "TAE", Chang-bin added two more syllables and answered, Stray. However, Na PD didn't accept the answer since he was looking for the word 'Steak' as the answer. Regardless, fans found Bang Chan's bickering with Na PD quite hilarious.

Additionally, many fans also loved how all the JYP idols constantly supported and helped each other to win the games. According to The Game Caterers x JYP's next episode preview, the participants will be playing more games, such as Random Dance Play.
