Artists under Starship Entertainment reunited after three years through 'Business Trip Fifteen Nights X Starship National Sports Festival.' On November 5th, the first episode of the tvN variety show 'Business Trip Fifteen Nights' aired, featuring Starship artists gathering in full force to participate in the National Sports Festival. The broadcast included a total of 38 Starship artists: actors Song Seung-heon, Lee Dong-wook, Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Bum, Son Woo-hyun, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Kim Kyung-nam, Ahn Ji-hwan, and singers K.Will, Monsta X, WJSN, Cravity, IVE, Kiki, and I-DIT. Producer Na Young-seok hosted the show.

Before the National Sports Festival, Starship artists appeared showcasing their unique charms. Rookie Kiki took the stage looking nervous, while Monsta X entered with a salute. WJSN attracted the audience's attention with their cheerful charm. When the actor team entered, Lee Kwang-soo shouted, "Senior Song Seung-heon is here," and Song Seung-heon appeared riding a palanquin, bringing laughter. The second actor team, led by Lee Dong-wook, lightened the mood with Yoo Yeon-seok's humor. IVE boasted their seniority by saying, "We are no longer the youngest." They created a warm atmosphere by talking to Kiki. Cravity predicted their variety show success with Wonjin's witty acrostic poem. I-DIT made a fresh greeting appearance, and Song Seung-heon gave them words of encouragement from atop the palanquin.

K.Will, Starship's director, took his seat last, marking the start of the '2nd Starship Picnic.' Then, a game called 'Contrary Absolute Pitch' was held over pork ribs for lunch. IVE's Ahn Yujin, familiar with the game from tvN's 'Ppyong Ppyong Earth Arcade 3,' received praise for her demonstration. Each team's clumsy yet cheerful attempts caused laughter, and after retries, all teams except the second actor team won ribs. The gloomy second actor team made a deal with Producer Na Young-seok, and thanks to Lee Dong-wook's efforts, they were able to eat some ribs.

In the moving vehicle, the artists' teamwork stood out. Song Seung-heon was seen holding a phone and taking a group selfie, and the broadcast captured artists dancing excitedly to various songs including Kiki's new track 'DANCING ALONE,' Monsta X's 'End the Front,' IVE's 'XOXZ,' Cravity's 'SET NET G0?!,' Dayoung's solo song 'body,' and I-DIT's 'Shining as I Please.'

Upon arriving at the next location, the artists took part in the '1st Starship National Sports Festival.' After team members were announced, the artists expressed confusion over uneven team numbers. However, they soon realized teams were formed based on shared hometowns, and then reorganized into six teams to prepare seriously for the festival. The National Sports Festival showcased each artist's unique competitive spirit, bringing laughter. Events included group jump rope and acupressure dodgeball, with unexpected physical comedy adding to the fun.

Especially, Song Seung-heon maintained his humor and did not lose his smile despite being teased by juniors, displaying exceptional comedic talent. The genuine enjoyment of the National Sports Festival by the artists, transcending seniority, was evident.

The Starship National Sports Festival episode of the tvN variety show 'Business Trip Fifteen Nights' will air on November 12th and 19th, Wednesdays at 10:50 PM. The full version video will be released the next day at 9 AM on the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen Nights.'
