Season 2

No. of episodes: 5 (Catch all the episodes on V Live)
Genre: Variety, Travel

Native title: 갓세븐의 하드캐리 2
Original network: Mnet

As compared to the first season, second 2 is a shorter version but definitely enjoyable. The season was released in 2018 in concurrent with their promotion for Present: YOU, with Lullaby.

Hong Kong

Jackson’s wish. Not to forget, Jackson mentioned that his favorite Cha Chan Teng is Tsui Wah and they went there for a meal. Happy that Singapore opened one Tsui Wah and the food is just AMAZING!

Train to Yangyang, Surfing

Fulfilling Jinyoung’s wish, GOT7 took a train to somewhere outside of Seoul and explore more about their own country. They went to Yangyang and pick up surfing that is the best activity that suits the season.

What’s more? The zombie game is back, but this time around the challenge is up when they host it in the train itself.

Catch the tail

The whole takeaway that even the members mentioned. “Our teamwork is the best”. Check out episode 3 and 4 to find out why. *winkwink*

Bed and Breakfast

• Everyone’s wish. They just want to show the real GOT7, without a script (or minimal) and relax.
• The highlight of the episode (to me), Jinyoung jumping into the indoor pool after he lost to the game of scissors, paper, stone.

My favourite episode is the final one. Even though it’s sad that the series only last for a good 5 episodes, but I love how they are sorta relaxing in the final episode. Just GOT7 with Bed and Breakfast concept and they can OTOT.

Unreleased videos in the original cut of Hard Carry 2. All videos can be found in M2’s YouTube account.

• Episode 1: Jackson’s choice of Hong Kong’s best restaurant (cha chan teng) which I mentioned previously. (watch the video here)
