Barefoot Friends
Barefoot Friends! The host for today is the richest person in kpop.
Richest?
- He is known for something. - What is it?
Allowance. He gives out money as gifts to celebrities.
He is famous for giving Ho Dong cash.
Kang Ho Dong rarely accepts cash gifts.
I received it once, but the amount has been exaggerated to be five times as much.
He is a generous person. Very generous.
The hosts today are Tae Jin Ah and Eru.
The host's a man?
[Will his wife cook for us?]
The men are cooking for us? That's just like the lonely celebrities.
- Do they make us ramen? - I'm not expecting much.
I like Hyun Joong's attitude. He's not expecting much.
We're doing the Homemade Food Project, but not everyone is great at cooking.
So it's better not to expect much and go.
Let's go.
Let's not expect much today and just...
You look like you're really looking forward to it.
Tae Jin Ah, sir! We're Barefoot Friends!
Attention!
To Mr. Tae Jin Ah!
Bow!
You don't give cash gifts just to anyone.
Please give us cash!
Give us cash.
He's going to pay us with his credit card.
He's wearing green.
Eru! How are you?
- You're barefoot. - Hey!
He's a major star in Indonesia.
[Eru is in Indonesian films, albums, and TV shows.]
[Major Korean star in Indonesia, Eru!]
It's hard to see Eru in Korea. He's a major star.
We have to hurry up because his Indonesian fans are crying.
Eru is standing barefooted.
Are you going to cook for us today?
My wife is not in Korea.
She is overseas.
- Really? - Yes.
So Eru and I will cook for you today.
- Homemade food? - No wait.
I've never heard of you cooking.
I make really good Pacific saury kimchi stew.
When I was working in Japan for two years, I cooked for myself often.
That was recent.
Also I've worked at restaurants when I was young.
I can still make a living by starting a restaurant now.
- You cook that well? - We weren't expecting much actually.
Because two men will be cooking for us, we thought it would be a modest meal.
What was her name?
Where is UEE?
She has schedules overseas. She will join us later. She is coming.
She's coming after because she's in After School.
Let's go in.
Let's take a look at the house.
Eru! You have so many shoes!
You work mostly in Indonesia, but you have a lot of shoes in Korea.
Tae Jin Ah must have more shoes. Dress shoes here.
You can tell that they are Tae Jin Ah's.
You can hardly find something like this in an average home.
Is that the original color or did you color it?
Tae Jin Ah shoes come in every color of the rainbow.
There are a lot of family pictures in the living room.
Are these the awards that you've received?
The entire wall is...
It's not just one section.
These are not all are they? Did you not have enough room for them all?
- This is 40 years old? - Yes.
It doesn't look old at all.
You can just clean it and it's clean.
- Crystal. - Yeah, it's crystal.
I received this participation award in Japan.
Big Bang won the Rookie Award that day.
This time in my life was the hardest. I cried the most.
In the midst of it, people asked me why I bothered in Japan.
Should I just go back?
But I told myself looking in the mirror at night.
It was the hardest time of my life.
Once in 1974 and 2009.
I cried a lot when I received this prize.
It was a big challenge.
- He went to Japan all by himself. - He was old, but went to a foreign country.
He worked his way up from the bottom. Not anyone can do that.
You also have a lot of awards there.
They are award certificates.
- What's that in the front? - It's the president's...
You've received a medal?
- What medal was it? - Jade Crown Culture Medal.
The same medal Psy received recently?
- President Kim Dae Joong. - This is historical.
He received awards from all the Kims.
Medal and award certificates.
He has a 007 suitcase here.
He has a reason for it. It's stashed in an important place.
This bag is the bag I had when I got out from America first in 1988.
My wife gave me this in hopes I would bring back lots of cash in this.
She asked me to show her the cash.
This became a lucky charm for me.
Whenever I carry my stuff in this bag...
everything worked out.
- It's the lucky charm. - It really is.
We need to get the energy.
Eru's stuff is inside.
Which room are we seeing now? Let's see this room.
- Is this your room, Eru? - Yeah, it's my room.
Have you seen such luxurious wallpaper? I've never seen diamond wallpaper.
- Did you do the wallpaper? - My mother did the wallpaper.
He got popular with the song, 'Black Glasses.' So he has a lot of black glasses.
- You have a lot of accessories. - Yeah, I like accessories.
Why do you have so many awards?
They are the trophies I won while working.
- Did you win this in Indonesia? - Yes, I received it there.
- You were the first foreigner? - First foreigner to win an award.
- First? - First foreigner to win the award.
I'm not too sure, but Indonesia has about 300 million people.
Fourth highest population in the world.
That's a big market!
He won an award where there are hundreds of millions people.
Even their high-ranking officials wanted to take pictures with Eru.
You can see the picture over there. That's Eru being on live TV.
- Live? - He is entering the scene on live TV.
If you look carefully, the main character is right here.
- Right here? - That's the main character?
He's wearing green there!
He must be really proud as a father.
There's nothing like your son doing well.
Does Eru doing well make you feel better than talking about your prime?
All parents feel the same.
You just watch and see when your child gets to Eru's age.
My son is going to kindergarten, and he won an award for Korean Wrestling recently.
He won the Korean Wrestling title.
I was really proud.
You invited us today for a homemade meal.
What's the theme of your homemade food?
The theme is stamina that will give us power!
Stamina!
To put it in Korean Wrestling terms, it's lifting the opponent and flipping him.
- Power food. Stamina food! - Yes.
For the appetizer, I have the chilli pepper pancake that I talked about earlier.
It's a Korean style pancake.
Kimchi fried rice with salted oyster.
Oyster?
- Isn't it unique? - Yes.
- It's going to have a bit of oyster in it. - To make it sweet.
And for the main entree today...
Pacific saury kimchi stew with red ginseng.
- Add power! - Add red ginseng powder to kimchi stew?
That's the main entree.
I also have something else great for you. You know small peaches?
- Small peaches? - The small ones?
The small ones.
Small octopus with the juice from the peaches.
Spicy small octopus!
That's good. - Are small peaches good for you?
It's good for people with asthma.
It's really good for smokers.
The food today will be really healthy.
Lastly, it's what my wife cooked since we were in America. Spicy meat stew.
- Spicy meat stew? - I make good spicy meat stew.
The spicy meat stew will give us stamina.
- Could we take a look at the fridge? - Should we?
Let's take a look at the fridge.
Let's open the fridge.
Two, three!
- I'm looking forward to this. - You have your side dishes.
It's what his wife, Ok Kyung made for him before she left on her vacation.
She wrote the names on the post-its before she left.
This is just...
This is the small peach juice you were talking about.
It's small peach juice.
- It's carbonated. - Really?
I think it will taste like pear juice.
- You should add a bit of water. - It's okay.
How is it?
Is this vinegar?
It's peach juice.
- It's like persimmon vinegar. - It's sweet at the same time.
It's really good. Jong Shin, it's really good.
- Did you drink it? - Yeah.
It's sweet and...
It's good for hangovers.
- It wakes you up doesn't it? - I feel like I'm getting healthier.
You're right.
There is no other juice like this.
Small peaches are rare these days.
What's that?
Salted dried persimmons.
We find something new every week.
It's the inside of persimmons.
- It was made with dried persimmons. - That's the best part.
That's the outside.
- Is it good? - Try it. It's good.
So this is what it tastes like.
It's really interesting.
- It has the sweet taste to it? - Yeah, it has the sweet taste.
It's really good as a side dish.
- It's really interesting. - This is really unique.
It's hard to make side dishes with fruits.
We will continue to look then.
Fried pollack skin.
It's fried pollack skin.
Is it like dried pollack? Wow!
This is a side with drinks.
The chilli pepper oil at the bottom.
I recommend this.
- It tastes like fried anchovy. - It's really good.
Even the kids will like this. 100%
- He will like it. - How do you know?
No, try it. You will like it.
It tastes funny.
Right? It comes five seconds later.
When you lose your appetite in the summer. This and cold rice in water would be great.
- You can eat it straight from the fridge. - It's good.
Eru!
It's okay.
It's our first Rice Craver candidate.
Fried pollack skin.
We will continue to look further.
It's like chips.
- Soy sauce octopus. - Octopus cooked in soy sauce.
Squids are normally cooked like this.
It's because he receives a lot of food gifts.
His family makes food out of them often.
It's not salty at all! It's not salty!
Is this salty or not?
My family doesn't eat salty.
It's really bland.
Everything is bland here.
I gave with love!
It's not salty.
It's normally made with squid. But with octopus, it's really soft in the middle.
It's aromatic.
Before we came here, we had doubts because it would be two men cooking for us.
But they have Ok Kyung's secret recipe.
We don't need to worry because Ok Kyung left her dishes here.
The ingredients are great. We'll make something good with them today.
Let's go ahead with our One Bite Quiz!
Let's go! Let's go!
I still can't imagine you cooking for us.
I don't know if it's okay to make Eru cook for us.
What's our first bite going to be?
The first bite will be kimchi fried rice with salted oyster.
Kimchi fried rice with oyster!
Eru is good at making this.
Stamina dishes with power!
I prepared a question related to stamina for you.
Emperor Mu of the Han Dynasty said, 'I can live three days without food, but not a single day without women.'
He particularly liked this food for stamina.
Ancient herbal medicine books state, 'A man traveling alone shall not eat this.'
Ji Won!
Garlic.
It's mine again. Geez.
Ho Dong!
- Bracken. - It has the opposite effect!
Jong Shin! Chives.
Why?
Chives are stamina food.
Hyun Joong! Sea eels!
A traveler couldn't carry that.
- It has to be portable. - Oh, it's going to slip out.
Ho Dong! I've never had this, but I've heard of it.
Seals.
- How are they going to get that in China? - What was the name?
- Seals... - Seal gut? Seal gall bladder?
Seal penis!
Would a female PD come up with a question like that?
It's China. Wouldn't it be Cordyceps militaris?
- The flower that blooms once a millennium? - Can you give us the category at least?
- I like it. I really enjoy this food. - Huh?
Ho Dong! Tofu!
- It's got to be easy to carry. - Yes, you can carry them.
I got it. But I can't give you the answer. I will give you a hint.
Salted fish with this particular food is popular down in Jeolla Province.
[The answer is shrimp!]
- Three letters! - Salted shrimp?
Salted shrimp?
- It's two letters. - Salted shrimp?
Jong Shin, shrimp!
Is it me?
Me!
Yeah shrimp are high in protein.
If you eat too much, it's too much cholesterol.
He said salted shrimp, and I thought it was shrimp.
I got it right, and I still couldn't eat it.
Emperor Mu had 180 thousand concubines.
- What? - Isn't that a lie?
- I know they have a lot of people... - That's too much.
There's oyster in there.
You can eat them like clams.
Jong Shin is really good at eating on TV.
I'm breaking the preconception that only fat people eat well.
- Food Fighters are Jong Shin's size. - Yeah, there are even women.
He has to wrap it the other way.
Now I know why the oyster is in there.
The oyster aroma is in there.
- It tastes like seafood fried rice. - Yeah.
Of course, it doesn't taste fishy. The salted fish was cooked in meat.
[That's two bites.]
- Stay out on the next question. - You're done! Forever!
Not forever, just for today.
- Why eat another bite? - You've broken the law.
I just had another bite.
That bite could save your life while we die.
Murderer.
Arrest him.
We need to take him to a trial.
Life sentence?
I'm Jong Shin Hyung. It means life sentence.
I'm sorry I was named like that.
He has to stay out for today.
- Stay out of all the questions today. - No!
You're cornering me too much over something so small.
You just want to eliminate your competition.
He just broke the rules.
Just say sorry if you know you did wrong.
- That's all you've got to do. - You're right.
Even I'm frustrated.
The point is to cook it golden crispy.
This is going to be good.
In ancient Korea, the wife of the eldest son had to eat this as a whole for the first harvest.
If a virgin ate this, people said that it was vulgar.
- Ho Dong! - I've heard of this.
- Jujube! - Ji Won!
Red beans!
Hyun Joong! Peach?
- Her face changed. - Ho Dong! Apricot!
Shi Yoon! Pomegranate.
Why?
They say it's good for menopause.
Ho Dong!
Abalone?
- She said that it was harvested. - Was it harvest?
- Can't you harvest abalones too? - Farmed fish!
Abalones are good for your stamina.
The abalone guts are good.
- Do you know the answer? - Of course I do!
It's vulgar if a virgin girl drops it in her mouth.
Shi Yoon! Cornlian cherry.
- What's a cornlian cherry? - Cornlian cherry?
He said something about dropping it in her mouth.
- He said dropping it in her mouth. - Grapes.
Grapes! Ho Dong!
- Grapes. - He said walnut.
He said walnuts.
Grapes!
Thank you! The secret to the kimchi pancake.
He knew the answer!
- He knew the answer. - Why did the wife of the eldest son eat it?
Grapes symbolize fecundity.
Because grapes come in bunch.
The wife of the eldest son ate it all, and it was vulgar for the virgins to eat.
Because a virgin is eating something related to fecundity.
When was he getting food?
That was close.
Did you just?
- That looks good. - That looks good.
Isn't that like a burger?
Don't get nervous. It will go in smoothly.
Sir! Sir!
- It's the best! - Right?
I want to eat some gosh.
- I'm hungry. - Some foods are bad when mixed together.
But the chili pepper pancake and the oyster kimchi fried rice are good.
They are really good.
Oh my...
- Doesn't the squash taste good in there? - Yes!
What's next?
It's grilled small octopus.
Oh my god! That's mine!
- Give us a chance. - That's mine!
Just take one bite at the end, and you can eat the whole thing.
Next question.
This particular food was sold in Korea for the first time in 1963 at 10 Won each.
People misunderstood this for clothes, thread, or plastic.
I know this! Ji Won!
Cellophane noodles?
- They had cellophane noodles before that. - Is 1963 before Korean War?
Is 1963 before Korean War?
[Korean War began June 25th, 1950.]
We just can't beat Hyun Joong.
No matter how much we try, we just can't beat you.
You're standing out today because UEE is not here.
We eat this often!
Ho Dong!
Cold bucket noodle! [UEE is back from Japan.]
Ji Won!
Why can't you get this right?
Hi! Hi! Sorry I'm late.
- I'm sorry. - Come sit here.
Why? I don't like it there.!
There's bad aura there.
- Shouldn't UEE get the question too? - Give the question to UEE.
What is this food?
Huh? It's food?
Pizza.
Oh! Hyun Joong! I got this!
Cheese! It stretches like thread.
- What the heck? - It's hard before it melts.
- Do we eat this often? - This?
It's the best when we're hungry.
- Ho Dong! - UEE!
I said it first! Ramen?
- Oh yeah! - It's kind of like a thread.
Why didn't we think of ramen? Did ramen come out in 1963?
It was first reported from Japan in 1963.
I just got here from Japan.
Why couldn't you get it?
I just got here!
I didn't think of ramen.
Really? Can I take the video again?
- I want that the most. - I really want that too.
This is just...
That looks good!
Really?
He took one out!
UEE has to be right here.
Beautiful assistant next to the magician.
Two!
I still can't believe it.
That's so cool.
He can really eat four.
- You made it with live small octopus? - Yes.
- So fresh that you could eat raw? - Yes, live small octopus.
- Okay. - What's that?
Pacific saury kimchi stew.
Yes! It's the Pacific saury kimchi stew.
- With red ginseng powder. - Red ginseng?
- I will show you the red ginseng powder. - You didn't put it in yet?
- Do you put in all of it? - No, just a little bit.
- I don't think he knows. - Just a little bit. I can't put in a lot.
- Really? - I was going to eat the leftovers.
Then the person to get the last question gets the best prize!
Honey!
How much red ginseng powder do you put in the Pacific saury kimchi stew?
We're supposed to see this at the bachelor's house.
We don't usually see this at the host's place.
- Should we come back here for dinner? - Okay!
She says one spoon is good enough.
They don't know it that well.
The last question for stamina food today.
Wives of the Joseon era planted this with chilli peppers for their husbands.
It was even called a 'Secret Herb' because it was planted secretly. What is this plant?
It's a vegetable.
- Secret Herb? - Shi Yoon!
Sesame leaf?
Ji Won!
Does it taste secret too? Is that like bland?
Secret.
Could it be in English?
Glucosamine.
Do you plant that?
- Hyun Joong! Garlic? - Isn't glucosamine vegetable?
- Isn't it an ingredient? - Is it?
Garlic? It's not garlic?
She said that it was served during the Joseon era.
My dear husband, I have glucosamine for you.
Is it an ingredient? No right? There's something called glucosamine.
It's a nutrient, isn't it?
- It's a part of the gluco group. - Glucosamine.
- Lettuce? - Why?
- UEE got this? - It makes you sleepy.
It is lettuce.
What are you going to do after making the man sleep?
- Lettuce makes you sleepy! - We have lettuce in our pepper garden.
- UEE got this right! - Did I?
She's right!
She got so lucky!
See! It was the spot!
UEE's reason was so dirty.
- Make the man sleep for what? - Why put him to bed?
What's in lettuce that makes you sleepy?
- Lettuce contains sleep aid ingredients. - Melatonin?
- I will take a bite. - I had that often in Japan.
Wow.
What's that noise?
- She just came back from Japan. - She was making a horse noise.
Japanese girls...
- Is it good? - Yeah.
- Why are you speaking informally? - How old are you?
She's speaking informally.
If you eat another spoon, then they will punish you for it. So watch out.
I was sentenced for life.
- Just one bite makes you hungry right? - Yes!
- I will give you food. - Okay!
- Really? - Yeah!
I will if you get the right answer.
This meal is for your stamina.
The lonely celebrity is so blessed today.
- Kimchi fried rice! - Wow!
- Only I've tried it. Oh yeah. - I've had it too.
The pepper pancake.
Don't separate the kimchi fried rice and the pepper pancake.
The pancake is amazing with the kimchi fried rice.
Also add these greens to it.
I was shocked!
It's also good if you mix the egg yolk.
This is Eru's kimchi fried rice.
I ate this when I felt lonely in Indonesia.
You ate this often in Indonesia?
I let an Indonesian try it, and he liked it a lot.
- Try them together. - They are easy to make.
The pancake is good by itself.
Try the radish green.
- It's radish. - Pepper pancake and kimchi.
This is really good.
It's so chewy.
We don't need kimchi in the pancake because of the kimchi fried rice.
- This is really good. - It's good right?
- Look. - You're making a wrap again?
What do call that? We don't call it a fighter.
- Oh yeah. - Wow.
It's a dumpling.
He is so creative with food.
- Sandwich. - It's so juicy.
That looks so good.
It's good.
I'm going to add an egg to make it like a sandwich.
I'm going to wrap egg in there.
This is mine!
It's a Korean sandwich.
It's really good. It's good.
Eru! It's delicious.
That makes me really happy. I haven't tried cooking much.
- This why people cook for others. - Oyster was really a good idea.
He's right.
I didn't even get started yet.
- It's out! - Here.
Do we call this small octopus barbecue?
Skewered small octopus.
This is all octopus.
Small octopus is the symbol of stamina.
UEE will now... you've never tried this on a skewer, have you?
You have to grab the end and turn it as you pull with your mouth.
- With my mouth? - Yeah.
That's it.
She's going to eat the whole thing at once?
Don't push it. That's it.
Can I take a video of this?
UEE, I know I'm something too. But you really are something.
You really are something.
How is it?
I think the kids will like this.
The sauce is sweet.
I think the kids will like it.
You must really like spicy food.
Everything is red here.
[Sweet and spicy]
Sweet and spicy. It's delicious.
It's chewy. I think I'm becoming a kid.
This sauce is really... You made some really good sauce.
Did you add the Japanese apricot juice?
Yeah.
- It doesn't get unraveled easily. - This is really spicy.
It's really good.
We didn't have any expectations today.
It could be good because you came with such low expectations.
This really neutralizes the spicy flavor of the skewer.
This is my first time trying this. It's really good.
- It's pollack skin. - Pollack skin.
That's really spicy, but you don't need water if you have this.
There were so many side dishes that were new to me.
Of everything I've tried in the past.
- Pollack skin and dried persimmon dish. - This is dried persimmon?
I need to finish with the dried persimmon.
It's good.
- What's that? - It's beansprout rice.
- This is the sauce. - Yeah.
Mix it.
This with the Pacific saury kimchi stew and red ginseng powder.
It would be really good if we mix that in here.
- Thank you! - Thank you.
- You can eat this as whole? - Even the fish bone?
Kimchi stew makes rice taste even better.
I've had Pacific saurcy kimchi stew at a restaurant, but this is much better.
I didn't mix the soy sauce in this. I'm going to use this kimchi.
They didn't overcook the beansprouts. They are still crunchy.
This makes me speechless.
- Kimchi melts in my mouth. - Because it's well done.
The saltiness of the stew is perfect.
- This is just perfect. - The color is just...
This is simple and yet it brings on nostalgia.
This really brings the nostalgia.
My father ate the beansprout rice every day when he was going through difficult times.
Whenever we visited my grandpa's place in Cheongju
he always ate the beansprout soup at the small restaurant in town.
- When did you move to Seoul? - When I was fourteen.
- All by yourself? - All by myself.
You would have been a first year in middle school.
He's had 30 different jobs.
It's the beansprout rice that you had when things were difficult.
Some people hate eating the food they had been eating when they were poor.
But the beansprout rice reminds me of the old days.
I can't go down from where I am right now. I need to be thankful.
It gets you back on your feet again.
Having a meal was really that precious and it had made you happy.
It's funny because during my childhood kids weren't eating well.
There were pills that made kids eat well.
- Pills that made you eat? - Because kids wouldn't only eat pizza.
- Kids would eat candies instead. - Ho Dong ate that pill because he was hungry.
So that he could eat more.
This is giving me stamina.
I think I'm going to dig the pot out when I wash rice at the lonely senior's place.
- Lonely celebrity! - Not lonely senior?
[Small peach juice]
[Spicy small octopus]
My appetite is back after having some rice.
We're eating Korea's food for stamina.
I made this with the small peach juice.
So it's a bit sweet, instead of being spicy.
- Take this and... - This is for mixing.
The beansprout rice is really good with anything.
This is it.
This is really powerful. I had let my guard down, and it got me.
I don't know if I'm imagining this. But I think I can taste the peach in there.
The small octopus tastes like peach.
It was sweetened in a more natural way instead of being sweetened by white sugar.
This was not sweetened by white sugar. It's homemade.
It has the unique flavor from the small peach juice.
You two like different kinds of food.
Who does Ok Kyung focus on?
Whose palette does she cook for?
To my father's preference.
She suits yours not mine.
- But Mother... - We need to get that straight.
Because when I ask her to make beansprout rice for me...
It can go a month or two. When I ask her again she'd say that she forgot.
But if Eru were to ask his mom for spicy small octopus tomorrow...
We won't even have to wait until dinner the next day.
It's already there for breakfast.
That's because I don't eat often at home.
- That's why she... - I rarely eat at home too.
Honestly, you come home for a meal even when you have work.
Really?
Do you eat all three meals at home?
When I have work in Yeouido, I come home if I can for meals.
- You try not to eat outside? - I try not to.
That's not easy either.
- He doesn't like to eat outside. - If he can, he eats at home.
Even there's not much to eat.
There's always rice at my place.
- Would you like us to help you? - Huh? It's fine.
This is the meat stew.
Look how full that is.
He hand ripped the meat.
- Eru, does your mother make this for you? - Yes. My family likes meat stew.
What's the secret to Ok Kyung's meat stew?
She likes to put in spinach powder in meat stew.
- Spinach powder? - Spinach powder.
She watched Popeye getting buff with spinach on TV.
That's why she puts them in.
- Meat stew is the best with rice in it. - Of course.
Put a spoon of rice in there and eat it.
Radish greens are also great with this.
Radish kimchi is really good in thin slices.
It's really sweet and sour.
It's a team battle. You need everything.
He's shaking.
He opens his mouth until he almost dislocates his jaw.
No wonder his jaw is so big.
I feel like I'm watching Korean TV.
Amazing.
Fantastic combination.
Hearty meat stew.
- Should we choose the Rice Craver? - Rice Craver (Rice Thief)?
They are 'The Thieves.' (Korean film 2012)
My pick is the meat stew.
It's the Rice Craver. It steals the rice away.
Spicy small octopus.
Yeah, it was really good.
- It was unique. - Small peach.
Skewered small octopus?
- Spicy small octopus! - Spicy small octopus.
Me too.
Tae Jin Ah's Rice Craver is spicy small octopus.
- With small peach juice. - For stamina.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you!
[Yi Chong-dong Sungsu-dong]
- We're at the lonely celebrity's place. - Ring the door bell.
Who is it?
We're Barefoot Friends.
- Hi! - Hi.
[Shin Hye Sung]
[15 years after his debut!] Come in!
[What do the original idols eat?] You lived here?
- This is mine. - You have five shoe racks?
Hye Sung likes simple shoes with simple designs.
All of them are similar.
I didn't touch other places.
But I cleaned up here. I normally don't clean up.
Did you clean up by yourself? Or with your girlfriend?
Hye Sung used to live the next door to me.
The neighborhood was always filled with his fans.
The neighborhood was always crowded.
Then after Hye Sung moved, it got really quiet.
- Do you still live there? - Of course.
Okay come in.
This is my dress room.
It's a shop. He made it into a shop.
It's a shop in here.
You cleaned up way too much.
- Actually it's always like this. - Is it?
I don't use this dress room much. I only use this part. See the few clothes there?
I didn't touch them for three years.
- What's that? Is that for display? - I rarely wear them.
They are old. But I don't throw away clothes.
This is really useful.
I also have one at home.
- Which is your favorite pair of shades? - I actually use only one or two in here.
It's this one and that one.
There are 30 sunglasses here at least. The rest of them are for display?
I put the ones I use often on top. The ones I don't use often get inside the drawer.
- Hye Sung! - Yeah?
- Is that real money? - There's a check!
- No. - That's 100 million Won.
Eric gave me that as a lucky charm.
- It's real. - What is it? Is it gold?
- He wouldn't have given it if it was gold. - Look at the prints.
You give gifts to each other?
He lives in the building next to this.
- The next building. - Do other celebrities live here?
We were neighbors.
I know that Park Chan Ho, the baseball player lives upstairs.
It was awkward to say hi at first because we had never met.
But he asks about air conditioning when it's hot.
I tell him that I only turn it on in my room because it costs a lot.
Chan Ho!
What's this room for?
There's a computer in there.
This is my computer room.
It's really neat.
Look at this! It's so cute!
It's his baby pictures.
- Is that you Hye Sung? - Yes.
- Two sons. - Yes.
Did you move out when your mother moved to Sokcho?
No, I went to America when I was in third year of middle school.
- I stayed away from my parents since then. - You went to America?
- You don't look like it. - It was very short.
I was there for three years then I was cast for Shinhwa.
I came back to Korea to be a trainee. But I stayed at the trainee housing.
So technically I've lived away from my parents for 20 years now.
- You must be an expert at living alone. - It's been a long time.
- That's why you're so neat. - Yeah.
The point is to clean it up and to never touch it.
It's exactly the way it was ever since you moved here?
If there was a picture, it would look exactly the same.
- You don't touch anything? - Yes I just leave everything where it is.
It saves energy. I don't need to clean up. It doesn't cost money.
There could be a round spot when we remove this rug.
Because it hasn't moved for three years.
- But I do clean up sometimes. Let's see. - It's clean.
There's a hairpin.
Men rarely use them.
Hye Sung almost fainted when he saw that.
What's that doing here?
No I use it!
I saw him thinking for five seconds.
It's clean. [Oh no, what's that?]
One sec!
Hyun Joong! I use this! It's mine!
Shi Yoon! I use this!
- There's nothing there. - I thought it was mine.
You saw it right? Hye Sung!
We saw you panic.
You were like this. What's that?
You couldn't do anything.
I think I heard someone's brain crank for the first time.
I could hear it.
I didn't know your brain made noise.
See you next time, hairpin.
The hairpin could be his.
But it can be misunderstood. So when he uncovered the rug...
Cut it out.
Your place is hot.
If you have another hairpin, people will get a wrong idea.
- Okay. - Wait!
Why am I nervous if nothing is there?
Why is he nervous?
- It'd be funny if there is something. - There's nothing.
Why do you sound disappointed?
You sound disappointed.
- You stay here the most? - Yes, it's completely dark in here.
- You can't see anything? - I like it completely dark when I sleep.
- You can't see anything? - Why? Of course not, because it's dark.
No wonder, she dropped her hairpin.
Yeah! He dropped his hairpin.
Yeah, why did I drop that?
- How old are these candles? - They look new.
- I think I got them a year ago. - How many times did you use them?
- These? I don't think I have. - Never?
They haven't been touched.
This is like living in the model house without changing anything.
It's just for display?
- Hard to live like that for three years. - I do use some. I use those candles.
Are you being polite to your possessions?
I'm going to sleep.
Then sleep like this for three years.
I need to get going.
Without touching anything.
Aren't you going to give me food? I didn't eat anything.
- We're done with the room. - What was that doing there?
This is the living room and the kitchen.
Hye Sung! You're really neat.
I don't touch anything in here.
The lights caught my attention.
- It works! - Yes they all work.
- That's nice. - Have you turned them all on?
- Never? - They use a lot of electricity.
And they will be too hot if I turn on all of them.
You can use this for a hundred years at least.
- Use it one by one. - Can we try living 100 years first?
It's hard enough to live 100 years and you're worried about that?
- The dishes are placed really well. - No way.
What are these? Do you use them?
I rarely use them because...
- I don't like cleaning up. - Is this a museum?
I use disposables.
- Wooden chopsticks and paper cups. - I've never seen so many disposables.
You can host 1000 people here.
They last for a long time.
You have such nice tableware. But you don't use them!
Are you going to leave this place as an open house after you pass?
This is the place Shin Hye Sung lived.
You're living at a model house. [Please do not touch.]
What are they then? Are they for display?
I use them sometimes. But rarely. I don't eat at home much.
- What do you eat at home then? - Delivery food, or I eat outside.
- Don't you think that it's unhealthy? - I do. I really do often.
So I tried ordering from different places but all the delivery foods are the same.
- But you can't just starve. - Yes, I can't just starve.
- It's the Han River view. - We went to Tae Jin Ah's place.
He's your senior. He's a singer, and you're also a singer.
They are stamina food for your strength.
Is that pollack skin?
- How did you know? - How do you know this?
- I remember having it. - Really?
- It's good. It's really good. - It's crunchy.
I picked it as the best dish actually.
You look like you like Western food, but you like Korean food.
- Is that good? - It's good with rice or alcohol.
I can just eat it when I'm bored.
It's really good.
Dried persimmon!
It had come up in my mind.
- He's got it right. - He has a good sense of taste.
- It's good right? - It's perfectly ripe.
Did you say that you lived alone for about 20 years?
Don't you miss your mom's food?
Rather than fancy food...
When I was young, my mom was a working mom.
She couldn't cook for me often.
So she would always make kimbab at home for me.
Then I could eat it for lunch whenever I got hungry.
It was really easy for me to get sick of it, but it was always good.
What's in it?
It's just standard.
It's the standard, but she finishes by adding egg on the outside.
The seaweed is on the outside, and there's another layer of egg.
- People don't usually make that at home. - And there's something else.
Hashbrown with nothing else. Just potato and flour. That's it.
Did she smash the potato?
She didn't smash it. She shredded it.
Should we call your mom to ask her recipe?
- My son! What's up! - Mom!
- Yeah. - My friends are over right now.
And I wanted to make kimbab for them.
But you know your style of kimbab with the egg on the outer layer?
I need to make that. But don't seaweeds break the egg?
Yeah, but you have to make the end of the egg not touch the seaweed.
So the egg has to be smaller. Okay.
Mom! Mom I miss you.
She thinks that it's me.
What were you doing?
- He's speaking in Busan dialect. - Do you speak in Busan dialect?
No.
Mom, this is Kang Ho Dong.
He fooled his mother!
She would have been fooled if he didn't tell her.
Remember when we were neighbors?
You used to tap my back saying that I was lovely.
Yeah, yeah! How is your baby? Did he get big?
Yeah, he got big. He won Korean Wrestling title in his kindergarten recently.
- It's been years, hasn't it? - Yeah.
I see I see.
I really miss you Mrs. Shin!
Yeah, I miss you too. Really.
We will have a great meal with Hye Sung today.
Okay! Okay!
- Okay thank you! - Thank you. Bye.
She really has warmth in her voice.
- Let's do our parts and start. - Let's cook.
Korean hashbrown.
Just potato and flour. That's it.
You have to do it like this.
I think it's done.
It worked! It worked!
Try it.
Isn't it good enough?
What are you going to make?
I'm going to make triangular kimbab.
- You put in a lot of sesame and sesame oil? - I like that too.
This requires a lot of effort. It may look easy but...
Look at that spicy small octopus.
Just one is going to fill you up.
I'm done!
Here's the hashbrown.
- Hyun Joong made this? - Yes I made it.
- He put in a lot of potatoes. - It looks really good.
It looks nice.
Is this the hashbrown you were talking about?
- Try it. - Picture your mom's cooking.
- Is it good? - Mmm.
- It's delicious. - Is it?
The flour dough looks good.
- The hashbrown is good! - Someone's here.
- It's Min Woo! - Min Woo!
We're shooting.
Come in, Min Woo!
- Hi! - Hi!
Don't you feel lonely after you guys reunited and broke up?
I can finally breathe.
I didn't say that. You made me look bad.
It's falling.
He can finally breathe.
- Is it good? - We made it. Hyung Joong did.
I saw Hyun Joong cooking well on TV.
- Yeah, he can cook. - I was surprised.
- Pancakes are best hand ripped. - Yeah! You're right.
- Eat the whole thing. - I don't like pancakes.
I can't eat pancakes.
That's the funniest thing today.
That's the funniest thing he said today.
I'm really sorry.
Remember when you had pork hock pancake?
There's no meat in there.
I don't like potatoes.
- He just made that up. - I don't!
- Nothing changed. - This is my first time making this.
- No way, it's so pretty. - Right? I was shocked too.
This is UEE's... UEE's kimbab? I can't even speak.
It may unravel so be careful.
I made kimbab for the members once. They liked it.
Ugly kimbabs taste the best.
I've seen the ones with egg layer on the outside.
This is called tape kimbab. You're supposed to unroll it as you eat it.
It's called toilet paper kimbab roll.
Min Woo is variety show material now.
Now express that in dance.
He doesn't hesitate.
How do I express this?
UEE, best kimbab!
U-Two.
- I want to try this at a restaurant. - Someone's here.
He's really here. [Young Joon from Brown Eyed Soul]
- He's got size. - He came to eat!
He's bigger.
Do this.
Ho Dong is smaller!
He is a very loved singer.
Let's start with a song first.
I know it's not the thing to do over dinner.
I even danced.
Did we ever love each other? I just can't believe it.
You are living in my memory. Are you happy in there?
Then it's Naul's part.
It sounds like Hye Sung singing.
It doesn't match his size.
- You're right. - People don't think that I'm a singer.
They think I'm someone's manager. But it's different when I sing.
He got rhythmical when he closed his eyes.
Rice balls.
They are baseball size.
- I mixed them all. - One shot? (Eat in one gulp.)
- One shot? Challenge? - Challenge!
- Let's start at the same time. - They look like brothers.
- Toast! - Toast?
- Rice ball. - One, two, three.
[Will he eat mellowly?]
- Your rice ball is... - I think his was bigger on the inside.
He's stuffing more?
- He's stuffing more? - He's not going to lose.
- He's not losing. - It stabilized in side.
[You eat? I eat!]
They look like giant babies.
- So cute. - They are so cute, oh my god.
Is he giving up?
[Coming Soon!]
[The name that calls for war.]
[The return of the wolf.]
He's back at SBS.
[Lamb.] IU!
One more try! One more!
Is he giving up?
It's going in!
Ho Dong is saying he has no competition.
I can't eat pancakes. I don't like them.
[One move that will bring Ho Dong down.]
Korean hashbrown!
- I can't eat hashbrowns! - He's defeated!
He lost.
It's amazing.
Thank you for the food!
Eating with a lot of people is good. It's good no matter what you eat.
- Yeah. - He speaks the truth.
Thank you for the meal!
Thank you Hye Sung.
