Barefoot Friends
The person who will treat us to a homemade meal today is...
- She looks delicate but is strong inside. - Looks delicate but strong inside?
She looks innocent but has charisma.
It's actress Kim Chung.
[Class and elegance.]
[She doesn't look like the type who cooks.]
[The proud single lady Kim Chung shows us her home cooking!]
- It's here! - It's here!
- It's here? - It's nice.
- She doesn't have a gate. - She doesn't have a door bell.
- Chung! - Here she is. Hi!
- Hi! - She looks good in her apron.
- Thank you. - Welcome! Hi!
Hi son.
Son?
She played my mother in a show.
You guys don't remember?
I missed you. Come on in.
It's nice here.
Your garden is beautiful!
- It's beautiful? - Isn't it?
It's very open.
I like flowers a lot. I do the gardening every season every year.
- Really? - It looks like a cafe.
It's beautiful.
We came for a traditional homemade meal. But you have the image of a city girl.
- You look like a Cheongdam lady. - You don't look like you'd cook.
You look like you would lounge in the living room most of the time.
I'm a rice girl. I've been eating homemade cooking since I was a child.
I still bring my lunch around and I rarely eat out.
- You bring lunch to work? - You always make your lunch?
Yes.
You eat homemade food even when you're out.
Yeah, but I wasn't going to agree to this show.
Because if I'm going to cook for someone, I should do it to for someone special.
But none of you will be my special someone.
I think all of you have high expectations.
You may be disappointed especially Ho Dong.
Ho Dong may be hungry even after the show and eat as soon as it's over.
I like to stick to natural food. I make dishes from natural food.
- Natural food? - Mostly veggies.
Are you a vegetarian?
I'm not, but I rarely eat meat.
Let's leave.
What exactly is on the menu today then?
I did prepare a lot for you, Ho Dong.
What could I feed him so that he wouldn't say that he's hungry?
- So I thought I would need something. - Just a pile of anything would be okay.
So to pile it up, I prepared about 20 side dishes.
And then I have some aged kimchi with pork belly.
I have that for Ho Dong.
We've been having aged kimchi in every home.
Listen it's important! You're speaking when she's speaking!
- We're speaking about meat here. - Pork belly and aged kimchi.
- I thought there was no meat? - They are my special treat for Ho Dong.
I'm going through my menopause right now. You're about in the same age as well.
So they are really food for you.
I heard that soy beans were good. But it's hard to eat just soy beans.
So I made tofu soup with pollack.
Tofu soup?
It's also gizzard shad season. This is the only time in the year for that.
- Gizzard shad! - The say even the runaway wives come back.
- Do you grill it? - No, I marinate it with my special sauce.
I add sweet potatoes. It's going to be delicious.
The theme of Kim Chung's cooking is natural food full of love and toil.
Natural farming village style cuisine!
The pumpkin is here! Come get it!
I will make you food with the food grown here.
I heard that you have a vegetable garden at home. We would like to see the size.
- It's small. - Do you do the gardening yourself?
Yes, come to the garden.
- Chung! What is this? - What?
They are quite unique.
I was taking pottery classes. My pottery teacher made this for me when I moved here.
- He made them for you? - Are they chairs or pottery?
They are porcelain chair. Porcelain chair?
- I came late. - There is a snake behind you!
Really?
- It's really thick. - Earthworms at my house are as big as snakes.
That means your soil is in great condition.
They gave me a hard time when I first started gardening. I live with them now.
- Come in before they stomp you. - It means that the earth is healthy.
Go in and don't get stomped!
I don't see a garden.
This is my garden.
- It's chilli pepper. - Go get some chilli pepper for later.
- They are ready! - Yes.
- Are we at the garden right now? - Yes.
I'm going to make you food with the vegetables I get from here.
- It's really natural. - Look at the pumpkin.
I will make you something with the pumpkin. See how the yellow one is ready?
- Right here. - Do you also have sweet potatoes?
They are not ready yet. It's not the season yet.
It's really her treasure home.
While you're here, can you help me get these sweet potato vines?
- Okay. - Know how to get them? Like this. The end.
Break the stem. Pick the ones that look good.
Get the good ones and then snap off the leaves.
You don't eat the leaves? You only eat the vines?
- You don't eat the leaves? - You have to cut them open. Like this.
Are they the sweet potato vines that we eat?
Seasoned, fried... Three sweet potato dishes.
- There are the chilli peppers. - They look spicy.
It looks ripe.
It's really spicy.
You can't eat this. You can only eat the tip.
- Even girls can eat it. - Let's do rock paper scissors for it.
It's going to be really spicy.
- One sixth chance. - You have to man up if you lose.
Rock paper scissors!
I knew you three would lose.
I thought I was going to lose.
Rock paper scissors!
It's him again.
We didn't even need to play the game.
It's really ripe.
It's incredible.
- Which one is it? - He's going for it!
This is too thick.
It's really thick.
He's not acting!
Oh no! You should all try it.
- I can see fire. - His armpit is sweating.
Later I will make...
I don't think this is right.
- I'll make you noodles with that pepper. - Noodles?
- Excuse me for a cup of milk. - It must be really hot.
It's really painful.
Something is wrong.
We got a pig with just a chili pepper.
I didn't know that you could eat vines.
- Let's only get what we're going to eat. - You're right.
Found it!
- Get me a pumpkin first! Pumpkin! - It's right here!
I'll hand it to her.
Workers! Come get your snacks!
Can I get paid instead?
- This will be better than getting paid. - What is it?
- What is this? - Try it.
I made it from the quince I got last year.
- Drink the juice. - The juice?
It's quince juice.
- She makes everything from her home. - It's good!
Move! Move!
- I can't do that. - It's almost done.
You know it's best when it's crispy.
- Did you make this with the pumpkin we got? - It looks really good.
Is your wife good at cooking?
Huh?
- Why do you ask all of the sudden? - Be confident!
He's been in show business for years. This is the first time he is taken aback.
Ho Dong is a man who likes to eat. He looks picky.
He is a food lover. It's really difficult to suit the taste of food lovers.
I eat anything well.
- But you do have your preferences. - I keep telling her that it tastes good.
She thinks that she is really good, so she tries even harder.
That's uncomfortable.
I'm not asking.
Try it.
- I'm excited. - This is Kim Chung pancake.
Kim Chung made it. It's Kim Chung Jeon!
The chili pepper makes it really good.
It's the famous Kim Chung Jeon! It has to be good!
The pumpkin is really sweet.
- I recommend this to other people. - It's really good!
It's really good.
This is really good when you don't have an appetite. Just eat it with rice in water.
It's really addictive.
Shall we go in?
There's nothing inside. It's a mess.
- Come in. - It's probably cleaned up.
I couldn't clean up. I was preparing other things because you were coming.
The kitchen comes first right after the door.
- It's decorated well. - There are so many dishes!
- Oh the dishes. - These are dishes as well.
They are pretty.
There are dishes here.
- You like dishes? - Yeah, these are my collection.
- I have dishes everywhere. - Do you have attachments to the dishes?
Yes. I'm not interested in brand name bags. I like to buy table sets when I have money.
People who cook like table sets.
I wanted to use different dishes every day for my future husband and my kids.
That's why I started collecting them. I collected all of these one by one.
- This is a famous plate used in a Chinese hotel restaurant. - Is it from Thailand?
- You took it? - I begged the manager.
I think it's the only time I tried to look cute for a man. 'Just one, please?'
- You liked it that much? - It looks really good.
Also it's something that only I could have. It's not sold on the market.
Who else would ask for it?
That's how collected all of them.
You like to have stories along with your plates.
Aren't they plates?
I made them in my ceramics class. I made the colors from Coke, Fanta, and Sprite bottles.
I wanted to see what kind of colors they would become in the kiln.
I feel like I'm at an artist's house. So they are not natural colors.
They were made by melted bottles.
Why did you start learning ceramics?
When I stayed in Washington, I went to see a movie.
It was 'Ghost,' before it had premiered in Korea.
I saw them working with clay with the guy on the back.
I thought that it was beautiful so I thought that I should do it.
- But she had a man behind her. - That's why I started learning.
I dreamed that my boyfriend would be behind me.
So I did, but only two of my big dogs were behind me.
The dogs?
- So in the middle of it I... - There's pepper.
I think she knew that there was something in her hair.
Try this.
He never says no when someone offers him food.
- It's good. - Is it?
Why are you doing this?
Come here my son!
I envy women with children the most.
I want to do it with my son.
- Do it well my son. - Okay.
Ji Won! I made you some salad.
You're not eating your vegetables. Try this, it's full of my love. Say ah!
Good. How is it?
It's salty.
- Let's go to the basement. - Basement?
- Let's go to the basement. - Look at this picture.
- When was this? - That was 1991.
- It's 21 years ago. - She was in her prime.
- Look at this too. - That's how I remember you.
- That's in the mid 80's. - 80's?
She looked so innocent. Now look at that picture. That's last year.
- It's last year? - It's last year or the year before that.
She's gorgeous.
- Let's go down to the basement. - There's nothing in the basement.
There's a lot.
- It's so cool in here. - You don't need A/C during summer.
- I practiced tea ceremonies here. - Tea ceremony?
It's really Kim Chung.
We can see the fashion trend of the 80's.
- It's the early and mid 80's. - Only the top stars had these.
- Let's look at the refrigerator. - Is this how you open it?
Isn't this chocolate?
You have oyster and salted fish.
I can smell homemade food here.
Aren't they king crabs?
- Not king crabs. They are river crabs. - River crabs?
- How do you eat them? - Come here Hyun Joong.
- You eat it as the whole? - It's salty!
It's salty!
- Is it salty? - It's the best.
Come here. Come here! Oh my god.
- It's the best. - Is it alive?
I'm sure Ho Dong knows. They use this in the country as a remedy for indigestion.
Crabs?
It's really hard to make salted clams.
- Salted clams. - Would you like to try that?
- I should cook this for you. - How are you going to cook it?
- I'm going to... - Isn't that the spicy one?
I always season salted fish or salted clams.
You make all that?
- It's good. - Is it okay?
You eat this with rice when you don't have an appetite.
Is it good?
Jong Shin! You would know!
It's really good.
It's really good when you can eat like Ho Dong.
You have to eat it with the pepper. You have to eat it spicy.
Would you like to try UEE?
It's really good.
- The spicy chili pepper is... - Excuse me. Move!
She meant it.
- The spicy chili pepper is... - It's not salty!
- It's not fishy. - It's not fishy at all!
I like to eat them with hot rice or cold rice.
Is this the spicy pepper from the garden?
I dry them.
My mom used to make this often.
- They are peppers? - Where do you find all these?
- It's this. - I thought they were anchovies.
I used non-spicy chili peppers for them.
- I used the spicy ones. You have to try this. - Wow it's good.
You fry them on a skillet and then add soy sauce and sugar.
It's really good. It's really good.
It's still spicy. It's hot.
Sometimes the spicy ones get in. You can get it if you're unlucky.
A few of them are spicy.
I really like it.
The kids these days... I grew up eating this.
I've never ever had tonic in my life.
You can see that I have all the lunch boxes under this.
Here.
- They are my lunch boxes. - I saw them when I was a kid.
Mothers these days like to eat out.
But rice and kimchi alone can be the restorative herbal tonic.
They say the disease that can't be cured with food cannot be cured with medicine.
- This is the medicine. - It's simple.
We're going to do the one-bite quiz. What are we going to be eating?
- I'm making it right now. - Yak Rice?
Rice is good, but Yak Rice is even better.
We sat in these groups without anyone instructing us.
You know that there's major league and minor league in baseball right?
Are we the major league?
We're Team Korea. They are major league, and we're the all stars.
First question!
The root of this word is to 'exchange drinks.'
But now it refers to planning something bad or not taking someone seriously.
Ji Won! Toast!
Hyun Joong. Tink!
Chung! Cheers!
Ho Dong! [Sake] Bomb? Isn't it bomb?
- It means to do something suspicious. - Drink up!
Hey! Drink up!
Oh my god! He's drinking up!
We say that we manage this.
- Is this used often? - It's used often.
Hyun Joong! Be drunk?
Is it right?
We say that we manage this and we start this.
Shobu? (To conclude in Japanese)
- This one is my favorite. - Isn't it Shobu?
Ho Dong! I think this is the right answer.
- Should I give you the chance? - Try it.
- You're wrong! It's wrong! - Do you have something UEE?
No, I don't have anything. Fight? To start a fight?
Were you thinking 'fight' too?
I'm going to get it! Funny business!
Correct.
How is it conspiring something bad? It could be just flirting too.
Is that what it is?
Oh they were the letters used.
This? Is this two years old?
No it's three years old.
It's always one person.
Look at his face.
- You have to eat Yak Rice as they are. - It's not an ordinary Yak Rice.
It's not like the ones you find in the market.
They really taste healthy. Also the chestnuts and other grains are...
- You can taste them? - There were chestnuts?
This is what you guys got from the garden.
Taste this. I need you to taste this because you're from Gyeongsang Province.
This is cheating!
- The small clam tastes really good. - I'm also from Gyeongsang Province.
It's not salty at all! I like it!
It's perfect.
Are you a beggar?
Kim Hyun Joong just ate off the ground. His overseas fans will be heartbroken.
- He can't keep up. - I'm just not smart enough!
I'm for real now.
Why are you laughing?
So you weren't trying.
Next is gizzard shad. I just marinated it.
- I want that! I want it! - Let's do it!
She's marinating the gizzard shad?
Autumn gizzard shads are rich in fat.
- During autumn? - It's the spawning season.
- Come on! - Next question.
- Shin Sa Im Dang gave her son... - Rice cake!
- Ji Won! - Rice cake!
No way.
Why rice cake?
The mother that cuts ricecakes with the lights off?
Did you see that? He chops the ricecake and turns off the candle.
Take the test with the lights off.
The contest with the mom!
I will state the question again.
Shin Sa Im Dang taught her son to feed his mind with words as he would feed his body.
Ho Dong!
I visited the Shin Sa Im Dang memorial once.
Chun Go Ma Bi. (High sky fat horses)
Can someone paralyze him?
Shin Sa Im Dang taught her son to feed his mind with words as he would feed his body.
- Then who is the son of Shin Sa Im Dang? - Kim Hyun Joong!
I didn't mean Kim Hyun Joong.
Lee Yool Gok?
You have to pronounce his name right!
- You have to get his title too! - W5,000 bill, Yool Gook Lee Lee.
Isn't he the man on W5,000 bill?
What?
Shin Sa Im Dang's son!
Give me his full name.
What does 'full name' mean?
- The whole thing. - Oh the full name.
Did he think it was play boy?
What's his name?
Yool Gok Lee Lee!
Correct!
I knew the answer.
This one was easy.
It was easy.
Bring the plate and eat it in one bite.
You can fit that in one mouth?
I will help you.
Stop.
Are you trying to make me not eat it again?
Oh! He dropped it.
What's that red thing?
Salted taro?
Try it! See what it tastes like. You have to taste it to find out.
That's it!
Are you serious? Are you really serious?
- Don't trust anyone! - Are you serious?
He dropped it.
- What about it? - I can eat it.
- Okay, okay. - Why did you eat that?
- He always falls for it! - It was on the ground!
- It doesn't matter! You can't eat it.
- You had it in your spoon. - This is not fair.
He ate the one on the ground.
- But it's the rules. - I'm going to be real cheap from now.
Some fairytales use food as important materials.
In Snow White, it's an apple. In Hansel and Gretel, a gingerbread house.
- What was it? Juice of sweets? - Juice? Do we squeeze sweets?
They lack moisture to squeeze them.
Who is the famous German author who wrote Snow White and Hansel and Gretel?
Hyun Joong! Anderson!
The right pronunciation is?
Anderson?
Isn't it? It's a famous author! Anderson! [It's Andersen.]
Isn't it?
I only know one author, Saint-Exupery.
- The Child Prince! - You mean The Little Prince?
- He's the only author that I know! - I will give you a hint.
Blank Brothers.
- Wright! Wright! - Ho Dong! It's my turn.
It's not the Wright Brothers? Did they make airplanes?
Moonlight! Isn't it?
- You mean Night? - Night Brothers.
- Something brothers? - Wasn't there a movie?
The answer is Grimm Brothers.
The magicians.
Wizard of Oz? Oz Brothers?
Hyun Joong! Oz Brothers?
They are exorcists! They are brothers!
It's Grimm Brothers! Ji Won! Grimm Brothers!
Correct!
It's Grimm Brothers in German?
Who's Grimm?
Their German name is Grimm? Why is their name like that?
Then the first name is Grimm and the last name is Brothers?
What are you talking about?
- They are brothers! - Their last name is Grimm.
- That's German? - It's two people.
- They wrote it together? - Yes.
They are like Hong Sisters! Hong Sisters of Germany.
- They are together. - Eat it with the rice.
Pick up the one on the ground.
- Come on. - Why am I looking at the floor?
What's the next bite?
Pork belly with aged kimchi.
- It's today's highlight. - It smells really nice.
We have to get this right.
Recently, spicy Korean food has been popular in Brazil.
What is the capital of Brazil?
- Ho Dong! - Hyun Joong! Gosh I know this one!
I'm really good at Blue Marble.
It's the purple estate in Blue Marble.
- I think he's going to get it wrong. - No, I'm pretty sure.
- What is it? - Isn't it too easy?
- What is it? - Sao Paulo.
- Jong Shin! - I knew it.
Isn't it? It's not Sao Paulo?
Then why is it in the game?
- Ho Dong! - It's not the capital?
I will wrap this one. The pork belly with aged kimchi.
Okay! I will make it simple.
- Brazil will be holding 2014 World Cup. - Cuba!
It's not Cuba?
Samba?
Argentina?
- What is it? - Isn't Argentina a country?
- This is wrong. - What is it?
I know the capital of Argentina.
Bunosres Island?
- Buenos Aires! - Bunosres?
I feel rage!
Ho Dong! The capital of Brazil is Brasilia.
- Correct. - Is it?
Is it?
- Brazillian is the capital? - Brasilia!
Brazillian is a person from Brazil.
That's why you have to learn.
Can you smell that? The power of aged kimchi.
- It's three years old. - Three years old?
It has the strong aroma.
My face gets hot just from smelling it.
The strange thing is...
Let's have another quiz without Ho Dong.
We have to eat this.
- Let's do rock paper scissors! - Rock paper scissors!
- It's going to be mine.
Rock paper scissors!
You have to eat that in one bite.
- This is wrong. - You dropped it!
- No, no, no. - I just have to not eat it.
- Wait! - I just have to not eat it.
Okay! You can have it.
I will eat it.
- You couldn't eat once today? - You made it well.
You made it really well.
I made it for myself. It has to be good.
I didn't make it for anyone else but me. Of course it's good!
- You're good. - Can we eat now?
- Make it cute! - Can we eat now?
- Cuter! - Can we please eat?
- Ho Dong! - We're finally outside.
- It's really nice. - Look at the view. It's all green.
I have to watch my pace today.
The gizzard shad is here.
- That's it! - This is it!
Gizzard shad is the best in autumn.
It's the best of the best.
I make the sauce with pepper paste, vinegar, sugar, lemon squeeze, Sprite, and sesame.
Sweet potato vines are in season. They are really good together.
I like to eat this with water parsley.
- Yeah. - But I've never seen sweet potato vines in this.
You harvested them with your hard work. You deserve to eat them.
- Wow. - That looks good.
Add the red chili pepper on it.
I don't think I can add another chili pepper.
I still can't get over the last one.
Can you smell that?
Wow that looks good.
- How is it? - Hold on.
I have to chew first.
Here's brown rice.
- The sweet potato vines sets it up. - Really? It sets it up?
Potato vines are not too strong.
It's the combination of the fat and vegetables.
- The fat in the fish? - The fat is in gizzard shad.
It's the spawning season for gizzard shad. It's full of fat.
The reason I use...
[Not listening!]
He wants screen time for eating too.
He adds more than he can chew.
- Is it good? Make wraps. - Yeah.
- It's good. This is really... - It's so fresh.
The sweet and sour taste is really... [Ji Won's plate is empty.]
[Raw fish aren't kids' favorite food.]
- Do you also eat the bones? - You eat the whole thing.
Yes, you can eat them.
- Can I have something to drink? - Get water.
- Ji Won is eating raw fish? - This is good for making kimchi.
He can't eat raw fish.
- He can't eat raw fish? - I'm not really a fan.
- Really? - I don't enjoy them.
Don't say that you can't eat them. You're eating it right now.
I can't stop! It's addictive.
Water parsley, pepper, and sweet potatoes can't get in the way of the gizzard shad.
It doesn't lose its unique flavor.
It's a bulldozer.
It's saying that it's bad.
It stays quiet all year and then in the fall it comes into its own.
There are also onions. Everything is strongly flavored.
I think this is perfect with Soju.
Pretend that this is Soju.
Don't remind me.
Shall I bring out the main entree?
- It tastes really good. - Here is tofu soup.
I wanted this.
And these are the sweet potato vines that you guys got from the garden.
Anchovy and kimchi.
Salted clams and chili peppers.
That's really good.
I made this with the leftovers after making kimchi.
Green onion kimchi.
Oh no, I'm going to fail today. Oh no.
- You don't eat like this normally do you? - I normally eat like this.
- You eat like this normally? - I swear that I normally eat this.
Why?
I need to have the table full. My parents say I was always like that.
If my table is not full, I'd complain.
I think that's because I was lonely.
I want to eat like this every day.
This is amazing.
- This is almost cheating. - This is really good.
Tofu, the pollack roe, and the green onions make the perfect combination don't they?
You know how restaurants have fish egg soup?
But they always have sea squirts and many other ingredients.
- Like sea food soup. - There's only tofu and pollack roe in here.
- It's powerful. It has pride. - It's the power of pollack roe.
This helps you eat a lot of tofu.
It's really good.
So I eat this almost every day.
It's not salty at all.
When I break up the tofu, it's kind of like ground tofu soup.
It's full of flavor.
Also it doesn't feel heavy at all.
Who thought of putting pollack roe and tofu together?
Where did you get the recipe?
It's really easy to make.
Cut tofu, green onions, and pollack roe.
Add smashed garlic.
Add a bit of soy sauce because the pollack roe already contains salt.
It's good because it makes you eat a lot of tofu.
You have to eat a lot of tofu during menopause.
How come it's not salty at all?
There's green onion.
- UEE is not even talking today. - She's done!
You like it?
It must be good because we usually skip to the next menu after just tasting it.
But we're finishing this!
Traditional, natural food full of love and toil.
Traditional country food.
Thank you for liking it.
- Are you happy? - This is just...
- Let's see the dish. - Next dish?
Here's the pork belly.
It has three-year-old kimchi!
Do you have any secrets for the sauce?
I don't use any special seasoning because the kimchi is already seasoned.
I add a bit of pepper paste and onions. I mix them together.
I leave them marinated for a day then I grill them.
This is just amazing.
Also I grilled the rest on charcoal.
- I drained the fat out of them. - Oh my god.
- I like to eat with Western lettuce. - Instead of Eastern lettuce?
I like Western lettuce better. It has more moisture and is more crunchy.
- It's more refreshing. - When you bite them?
- Right, it's more refreshing. - It tastes like salad.
Yeah, it tastes like salad.
I will make a wrap for you, my son.
What's wrong with you?
- He was my son in a show. - What show was it?
- We were in a movie together. - A movie!
- How old were you back then? - I was thirty.
Thirty? No way, are you over forty now?
That's incredible.
This is it! Oh my god!
How are you so good at marinating? Did you do it at home?
- I like it fatty. - It's really chewy.
I like meat, and I also like fried kimchi.
This has both! Oh my god.
- It just drives me nuts. This is it. - I add sesame leaf.
He wants screen time for eating now.
[Is it too hard?]
[It's not for just anyone.]
[Oh yeah!]
[Ho Dong's technique against Joon Ha.]
[That's my technique.]
He makes it look good.
[Learn son!]
Should I show them the Gyeongsang Province style?
You wrap meat in water parsley. I don't even need lettuce for this.
- Then I add the meat. - The three year old kimchi!
I like the two year old better.
You like the two year old one better?
That's all I need.
[I should just stay out.]
- Ji Won. - I want to try it.
I want to try it too.
Don't exaggerate it at all. Just be cruelly honest.
The refreshing bite of water parsley. You don't like water parsley?
- No. - Still try it.
I didn't add anything.
I didn't add any condiments. It's just water parsley, pork, and kimchi.
It's the bomb isn't it?
You can't stop can you?
- The aroma is... - It's really good right?
- Water parsley is the best. - It must be good.
It's good right?
- Water parsley smells really good. - The aroma just keeps on...
When you eat meat wrapped in sesame leaf or lettuce, you only have meat in your mouth.
But with water parsley, it tastes like it's always there.
The aroma stays for a long time.
Is that how you eat it? Ah!
- You have to open your mouth wide for this. - I have a big mouth.
Put the whole thing in.
- Isn't it too big for her? - No, it's okay.
It may look big but water parsley becomes soft.
It doesn't have bean paste. It's just water parsley, pork, and kimchi.
- It's really good. - Isn't it?
Isn't it unique?
I've never had meat wrapped in water parsley.
This is really good. I learned a recipe from you.
It's addictive isn't it?
- I like the green onion kimchi. - It's really good.
Right? I made it with chives.
- From the garden? - Yes.
It's fresh.
I'm going to wrap pork with green onion kimchi.
I tried it once already, and the green onion kimchi really stands out.
It really has a big ego.
- Is it because it's grown here? - Maybe.
It's like it's saying, 'I'm green onion.'
This is it.
You're going to eat all of my food.
It was just two people eating here. You're eating my food for the next two years.
That's just life.
I'm really thankful because I heard that the biggest blessing is to cook for others.
I'm just happy that you liked my cooking.
I wish that it was like this every day. House full of family members.
I liked how each dish was simple and not complicated like Kim Chung herself.
- It's simple and good. - It's solid.
I think this was most like homemade food.
Also try this for me.
- It's two months old sweet potato vines. - You asked why I was so obsessed with it.
My mom had me when she was 17.
She got pregnant in a mountain village.
She could only eat this alone.
When you were in her womb.
Whenever my mom sees this, she says this is the only thing she ate pregnant.
What else is there to eat in the country village?
What does your mother's cooking mean to you?
Mother's cooking is love and remedy.
Really. Because when my mom cooked...
She said, 'Cooking needs to always accompany love and effort.'
She's right.
I feel the love the most is when I eat breakfast the day after I get a beating.
I'd get a good beating and she'd say, 'Eat!'
Like I said, I never had to eat herbal tonic when I ate my mother's cooking.
- Really. - It's medicine.
It really is.
I ate all the rice because it was so good.
I failed again. I think my belly is going to burst.
I feel like something is coming out through my belly button.
- I will bring more. - We have more?
- You want to stop? - No, we should see what's next.
- I can't digest anymore. - We're in trouble.
I'm about to have a baby.
- What's that? - This is the last dish.
Have long lives like the noodles.
May only good happen in your life.
It's the banquet noodle.
Banquet noodle!
- Noodles are the best when you're full. - It's incredible.
How can I not eat this?
Everybody, party noodle!
It's like a party here.
We have your spicy chili pepper again.
I love the noise the noodles make.
You may get commercial offers from this. The advertisement sponsors are watching.
You have to eat these well. Ramen, noodles, and...
I will show you the technique for TV commercials.
- You have to show them. - It's already cold.
The camera is rolling.
You shouldn't cut the noodle.
And the ending?
Only Ho Dong can do that.
My belly is... Let me go deliver and come back.
I'm so full.
Jumping!
Let's decide on the Rice Craver.
We have two candidates. One is pollack roe soup. The other is the sweet potato vines.
Okay UEE! One, two, three!
Pollack roe soup.
I pick the sweet potato vines.
- I pick the pollack roe soup. - Pollack?
- Pollack roe tofu soup. - Two votes.
- Pollack roe tofu soup. - Three votes!
- Pollack roe tofu soup. - Four votes!
I pick pollack roe tofu soup. Five to one. The winner is pollack roe tofu soup!
I'm the lonely celebrity.
You're taking my food to serve others?
- Anyway... - Thank you!
- Thank you!
I will ring the door bell.
Who will it be?
Hi. [K.Will]
- Hi. - Thank you for coming.
How are you doing?
Where have you been?
- Is this your new place? - It's been a year now.
- A year? - Yeah.
Let's see the shoe rack.
You just got here and you're opening things?
- It's clean. - It's really clean.
How long have you lived alone?
13 years?
It's clean for a man's place.
You're almost pro at living alone.
You have so many Lego's.
- You like them? - I like them a lot.
- Do you make them yourself? - I made the Gundams.
- You made these too. - Isn't that Star Wars?
You have a lot.
- You also have Slam Dunk? - Yes, I have Slam Dunk.
This is a masterpiece. This must have been hard.
- This is... - It's a collection.
Five, six, seven-year-olds go crazy for this.
Why did you start this?
I just had a lot of spare time.
All of my friends are married. It's hard to see them now.
So I wondered what I could do to kill time.
First I bought gundams. I don't think I was ever really into anything.
- Then I got into it, and more had come. - It's kind of sad.
- It's not that bad. - You were lonely.
It's really fun if you try it.
A lot of people feel bad for me when they see this.
You're a fan.
Is that like a room? It looks like it's outdoors.
- That's my terrace. - It's an outdoor deck.
It's nice here.
I didn't want one this big.
- It must be beautiful here when it rains. - Yes.
It could have been better if it rained today.
- You are alone with candles when it rains? - Yeah. I drink coffee.
This is really comfortable.
Do you use that often? It must be perfect for a nap.
It's good.
Why did you pick a place with a terrace?
People who have never lived alone don't get this.
They don't get why you need a patio or a veranda.
You have to have tried drying laundry in the basement.
That's when you understand you need a place to dry laundry.
He knows what he needs at home.
He is an experienced lonely bachelor.
Let's go inside and look.
I love this place.
Come inside.
What's this?
Look at one place at a time.
No matter how neat you're, if you're a guy living alone...
You just end up eating delivery food and instant food.
You just can't help it when you live alone, can you?
We're Takeout Tribe.
This is the reality.
Let's look at the master bedroom.
It's not really a master bedroom.
This is just...
I can't find anything.
What are you looking for? Come out!
- Come out! - He emptied the trash can.
What are you looking for?
What? Stop!
Stop! Don't touch my bed!
What are you doing in my bedroom?
We need to respect his privacy.
You already butchered his privacy. We looked through everything.
This is really serious.
- There was nothing... - Stop looking through my laundry!
- It's clean. - It's been a year.
It's...
- Alcohol everywhere! - You found them?
Don't we need to look one place at a time?
- This is too much. - They are all alcohol.
Alcoholism of lonely celebrities.
What is the purpose of you coming here?
We're actually CSI.
Let's look at the refrigerator.
It's bone soup that his mom sent.
- It's bone soup? - You microwave it like this.
- It's bone soup. Your mother's love? - Yes.
- But you need rice and kimchi with that. - Yes.
- And you also need green onions. - Yeah!
- It's actually a lot of work. - I know!
She always says that I just need to heat this up.
It's not that easy.
- It's rotten. - It was in the freezer. It can't be.
- They are egg pancakes. - They are frozen.
Aren't they artifacts?
It's hard to tell what's in the freezer.
- I thought it was a trilobite. - A trilobite?
They are egg pancakes.
What do you want to eat?
We brought you food.
Really? I was really curious what you will bring me after watching the shows.
All three of these dishes are made of sweet potato vines.
This is the fermented vine.
You can't find this anywhere else.
This is really good.
- Try this. This is really good. - This is it.
It's sweet potato vine that I just had?
Huh? Yeah they are vines.
But each of them tastes different.
Give him the fish egg soup.
- This is sweet potato vine too? - Yes, but it was fermented longer.
He's only getting sweet potato vines.
And we harvested this one today.
He was probably looking forward to this, but he's only getting sweet potato vines.
We harvested the sweet potato vines today and made this.
- I had it twice. I want something greasy. - Then have it for the third time.
- It's one, two, three. - He looked forward to this.
You can't find sweet potato vines anywhere else.
- This is good. - They are chili peppers.
Try this.
It's still hot. Try this, it's still hot.
That's the MVP today.
I don't have time to swallow.
This is really good.
It's good.
[That's mine. Could you please not?]
- Can you eat more? - It's been a while.
We came all the way from Ilsan.
We came in cars.
Which of your mother's cooking do you miss the most?
What do you want to eat the most?
My mother said that eating lots of meat will makes you aggressive.
She's not a vegetarian, but she didn't give me too much meat.
I couldn't eat any frozen food.
When I really wanted to eat meat, she would cook Korean BBQ for me.
Korean BBQ.
I wanted processed food so much I traded them for sausages during lunch.
Did you hate your mother for it?
Now I can eat just about anything.
I think that was really good of her.
- So I miss her japchae. - Japchae.
- Call your mother. - Hello?
- Yeah, did you eat? - Yeah Mom, I'm about to eat dinner.
I'm going to make Korean BBQ and japchae.
Okay. For japchae, you need to leave cellophane noodles in water for a while.
Why didn't you feed meat to K.Will?
That's not true. He really liked chicken.
He ate a chicken every day.
So he got really fat.
He was even diagnosed with fatty liver.
He really likes meat.
He probably orders chicken all the time.
We never ran out of meat at home.
When do you want him to get married? What kind of daughter-in-law would you like?
For the daughter-in-law, women have more to sacrifice for the family compared to men.
You're also married.
Someone with a big heart. She needs to be understanding.
I think it should be someone that needs to be ready for sacrifice.
- How did your husband treat you? - Weren't you happy Mom?
Weren't you happy?
She must be heartbroken.
I'm always going to be on her side.
Yes, I am.
Do you know UEE from After School?
Yes! I know UEE.
They really look cute together.
What do you think? K.Will and UEE.
Yeah, that's all right.
She doesn't like her.
My mom always says that pretty girls are good for nothing.
You just made it obvious that you don't like her.
She's overwhelming.
- We'll have a great dinner here. Thank you! - Okay! Bye!
You need to call a friend to come.
Let's call someone. Who are you going to call?
- I don't know... - Call someone from your agency.
- Sistar? - Sistar!
- Hyo Rin or Bo Ra. - They are busy!
They still need to eat.
Guys my age like Bo Ra a lot.
Men in their 40's.
- I have someone I want to call. - No! Call Sistar!
- Who did you want to call? - Heo Gak.
Gak? He's getting married.
Yes, he's getting married.
Not Heo Gak. Who else then?
- He's... - Sistar!
He's getting married. He and I have the same stylist.
Really?
But I have a concert in Japan on that day.
So I have to bring all the staff with me to the concert.
- You took his wedding guests. - Not many people can go now.
I can't go either.
I will go. I will go, so call Sistar please.
I will be there to sing and dance.
Just let me see Sistar!
Kim Hyun Joon will be singing at Heo Gak's wedding.
My staff will be giving donations.
You're really a man. He will like it.
I will call him first because I'm not sure if he can make it either.
- Brother! - Hey, Gak.
- Hi. - How is the wedding preparation?
- It's going well. - Going well?
- Do you want to come over? - Why?
You will like it if you come.
Something good may happen to your wedding.
You have a lot of people to give your wedding invitation to!
- Right now? - I can't go, but I will invite them for you.
Your relatives are at your place?
No, but they really like you. They will join you at your wedding.
Okay!
Bring plenty of wedding invitations.
You should bring about 40.
This is my gift for you.
- Come over right now. - Okay!
You were close!
He said he wasn't coming then he changed his mind when we mentioned the wedding.
You worry about the number of the guests at the wedding.
He did the math in his head and figured that it was worth it.
Now you need to give your answer to Hyun Joong. Are they coming or not?
They're probably really busy. I don't think they can make it.
- Hello? - Hello.
- Hello? - Bo Ra! This is Hyung Soo.
- Huh? - It's Hyung Soo!
Why did you call? Why are you calling me?
Why not?
Are you busy?
I'm done with my schedule. I'm on my way back to my place.
Oh yeah? Are you tired?
- Don't they live here? Sistar lives here. - Aren't you tired?
How do you know where they live?
A lot of people here want to see you, but I thought that you must be busy.
- At your place? - Yeah, I'm home right now.
I'm with my friends here. They really want to see you.
- But you must be busy right? - So you want me to come?
Did you get rejected by her once? Why is she so...
- Why is she so aggressive? - What are you talking about?
- Bo Ra! - Hello?
- We're shooting Barefoot Friends. - Oh it's for TV?
- Yeah. - I see.
She's relieved to hear that it's for TV.
She's relieved.
- Okay. - Are you good at cooking?
I'm not the one cooking.
- That's good. Okay then. - See you soon.
You're the man!
We got the friends. Let's cook by the recipe. Did you write notes?
Let's make homemade food.
Oil?
You leave cellophane noodles in water. Grill beef, carrots, onions, and mushrooms.
Then you mix them with soy sauce.
- What are you making? - Korean BBQ.
Kim Tak Goo is grinding pear.
Nice! Let's marinate the meat.
Onions.
He's using his hand.
It's done.
Okay, we're done.
We named this japchae, Relief Japchae.
The man of the hour gets to taste it first.
- He can eat! - Yeah, suck it up.
- How is it? - Is it good?
When it enters my mouth, the grease from beef needs to spread in my mouth.
This is it.
I've never seen a successful singer crying for meat.
- It's really good. - It's good.
- Should we make the Korea BBQ? - Do I pour the sauce first?
- They are here. - They are here!
You're here!
Hi!
Come on in and sit down.
- Where were you before this? - I was at a concert.
I got the phone call on the way back home.
- What's the date? - It's the third. October third.
- When is this going on air? - October sixth.
He's already married. Congratulations!
- He will be at his honeymoon! - His wedding was really nice.
You're handing out the invitations? You're already married!
Then he needs to say, 'Thank you for coming.'
Thank you.
I'm jealous.
He needs to try them.
Try the japchae first. It's meat, noodle, carrots, and mushrooms.
What are you doing? You have to eat the meat. A lot of it.
- It's good. - It's good right?
- Someone else is here. - She's here!
The Sistar is here!
- How did you come so fast? - Hi!
- Bo Ra! - Hi!
- Hi!
Bo Ra!
One, two, three, four!
- Thank you for coming Bo Ra! - Welcome!
What's the meal for?
Sit next to Hyun Joong.
- You live with your members. - Yes.
Who cooks for you then?
Us? We rarely eat there.
- You normally eat out? - Yes.
- Do you eat instant food a lot? - Of course.
We normally order food.
Or...
You can breathe.
He already passed out his wedding invitations. He got what he wanted.
Try this.
Wow! This is...
Why is he eating so much?
He's just like Ho Dong!
He's going to have side effects from this.
I don't think my wife can cook like this.
He looks sad.
Send out a video message to your wife.
She may not be able to make it now, but ask her to become a great cook.
Oh wow. I've never done this before.
Honey... You must have something to say.
It's time for you to step back.
Heirs! Get signatures from shareholders!
We can't just give it to anyone.
Dad!
Honey.
I'm sorry for saying that your cooking doesn't taste good.
I was really touched by you even taking cooking classes.
I will work even harder for you! I love you!
She was really trying.
I'm crying.
I like this!
You have to see a shrink if you cry from this.
Let's try them!
You have to eat the soup!
The soup is the best!
You have to scoop it up like this.
He makes you want to eat.
He has the cat fish face.
Our guests are eating really well.
It's better when you eat together isn't it?
Thank you for the meal!
