Hwasin: Controller of the Heart
I got it.
I would like to date young guys.
Is it bad, Sweetie?
[Lee Hyo Ri has integrity]
Please help...
The reason why I start hating Hyo Ri is...
That's so intense.
[Running faucet in entertainment business, Sandara Park]
She seems like the Queen Seon Deok of YG Entertainment.
'She will become more famous than you, just wait.
[The Queen Seon Deok of YG Entertainment, CL]
I heard you are dating OO.
We went to the beach. Just the two of us. She wore bikini.
Should've been more careful.
[One with legendary scandals, Lee Joon]
Will I be suspended from being on TV?
[But...]
[Kim Gu Ra: 'I feel afraid to meet Lee Hyo Ri.']
[Kim Gu Ra: 'I am sorry to Lee Hyo Ri.']
[Kim Gu Ra: 'I've been avoiding Lee Hyo Ri.']
[Kim Gu Ra apologizing for talking harsh about Lee Hyo Ri]
[Lee Hyo Ri: 'I still feel awkward being around Kim Gu Ra.']
[Lee Hyo Ri: 'How does she really feel about it?']
[Lee Hyo Ri: 'When he talked harshly]
[about me 10 years ago, I felt hurt...']
[What will happen when Lee Hyo Ri
and Kim Gu Ra meet on Hwasin set?]
[15 minutes before filming]
[Gu Ra enters the set the earliest as usual.]
What's with that robot in the back?
What is that robot?
[Other hosts are also getting on set]
[Gu Ra isn't sitting down today for some reason]
I feel so tired...
[Guests are getting on the set as well]
You should sit beside me.
- You look pretty thin, Tae Gyu. - Yeah, I lost quite a bit of weight.
Testing my microphone. One, two, three.
I heard you did your research.
Hi, I am Kim Hee Sun. Hi.
[Where is Gu Ra??]
[Five minutes before filming]
[Gu Ra re-enters the set]
[Suddenly everyone is quiet]
[He checks his phone as if he feels awkward...]
- A new host? - Yeah...
[There is an awkward silence in the air...]
I'll finish it quickly for you.
[Gu Ra turns his back on Lee Hyo Ri]
[Hyo Ri stops talking as well...]
[Hyo and Gu Ra finally meet again on Hwasin]
[Will they reconcile?]
Two-faced talk show on Tuesdays.
Hwasin!
Yes, two-faced talk show.
Yes, it's a good description.
We have segments for rumors and one-liners.
When we talk about the rumors, the guests feel thoroughly hurt.
When they talk about their one-liners, they shine.
Everyone here are people of integrity.
She chose to be a guest on a show where Kim Gu Ra is a host.
Lee Hyo Ri!
[Lee Hyo Ri, a person of integrity]
She is a guest on a show where Gu Ra is a host --
That is so beautiful.
Please give her a hug. Give her a hug.
What's happening here?
Let us work together.
[Let us work together]
[The nation's ground for reconciliation]
There's no such thing as life long friends
or life long enemies.
That's right.
That's so heart-warming. You know
I felt uncomfortable before the filming began.
But she offered to shake hands first.
And he was looking at his phone.
I never knew you were so innocent like that, Gu Ra.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean I am so innocent?
I am sure there are many viewers
who might think, 'What's that about?'
It happened some years ago.
- Do we have to talk about it? - Just for the people who don't know --
When I used to host an internet radio show
I dissed a lot of people...
- When you used to swear. - It was 15 years ago.
- Yes. - It's completely my fault.
You know... it's like... I think...
- So, you dissed Hyo Ri a lot, right? - Yes.
I've never heard Gu Ra stuttering before.
- But it's -- - Why does he look so small?
Having fun?
[Never seen him like this]
When I met Gu Ra for the first time
it was the first time I've ever met him.
I asked him, 'Have you ever dissed me on your show?'
I only do that to people
who are as famous as Lee Hyo Ri --
She's making up stuff.
Come on.
Only comedians do something like that.
When did I say that?
Because she is a host now.
[Entertainment is about making up stuff - Ms Kim -]
He used to talk about Moon Hee Jun.
He always tossed and dissed the hottest celebrities.
We thought that Gu Ra dissing us
meant you made it.
That's why he talked a lot about H.O.T.'s Moon Hee Jun
on his internet radio show. In order to survive.
Okay, that's enough talking about it!
What's really important is...
I am in my mid-forties now.
Moon Hee Jun and Lee Hyo Ri are friends
who are about ten years younger than I am.
I am not just saying this.
I wonder if I could have forgiven myself
as easily as they have.
They are amazing people.
I think... they deserve to be treated
as prominent figures in entertainment business.
What are you talking about?
What?
- What do you mean? - I don't know either.
Doesn't make any sense.
I mean it. Seriously, I do.
I only got to watch Hwasin only once
because I had a lot of things to do.
- G-Dragon was the guest on the show. - I see.
- You weren't a host back then, right? - I wasn't.
Actually, I am here as a guest
because I thought Yoon Jong Shin was the host here.
I realized Gu Ra hosts this show when I got here.
She went on Radio Star when Gu Ra
wasn't a host on that show.
But you know, Hyo Ri really is a person of integrity.
I think two of you will become very close starting today.
Personally, I find Gu Ra is the funniest person in the world.
I also like how Gu Ra makes people laugh.
Thank you...
- I'll crack a few of them for you. - Yes, yes.
Don't worry too much about it.
Don't you want to swear on air these days?
These days? I don't feel like that these days.
You are so fortunate that you became famous
after Gu Ra became nice.
Another person of integrity who agreed to be on a show
that Lee Hyo Ri is a guest of.
CL and Sandara!
[Sandara Park, CL]
And... among these three strong women
another person of integrity who agreed to be a guest.
- Lee Joon! - Hi.
Lee Joon, did something happen to you?
- Did something happen? - Nothing happened...
Ah, we released a new album.
Something did happen, why did you say nothing happened?
We have a new album.
When Gu Ra asks you a question
most people think he's asking if you did anything wrong.
Yes, yes.
And Hee Sun did something good.
She went to visit the standby room
where CL and Sandara were waiting.
I should've went to you to greet you first --
No, it's okay. It's only right that I do that
because you are a guest.
But Lee Joon was the last one to arrive.
Pushing right on the button.
You went to talk to Hyo Ri and --
I didn't greet you. I am sorry.
You know, I was in a filming just before I got here.
I tried to leave early but they didn't let me leave.
I am so sorry.
I didn't know what your schedule was like.
I am so sorry I didn't visit to greet you.
- You should be on time, Lee Joon. - I am so sorry.
Lee Joon, are you good friends with them?
We aren't friends, but I like them.
They are so --
- Who do you like? - I used to be a big fan of Fin.K.L.
- But where are you pointing at? - Pardon?
- Right over there. - Oh...
- Are you afraid of me, Joon? - No, I'm not but I used to follow her.
- Really? - I went to see her perform.
To be honest, I feel strange sitting beside her.
- You came to live broadcasts? - I did. When you were performing 'Forever.'
Do you recognize me?
- You were there, too? - Yes.
Oh, I see...
You're on the same set with someone you used to idolize.
Who would've guessed?
I heard that... Lee Joon you used dream that Lee Hyo Ri...
I heard you two were lascivious with each other.
Tell the truth.
It had nothing to do with what I wanted.
I had no control of what Hyo Ri was wearing in my dream.
What was I wearing in your dream?
You don't get to control the content of your dream.
I did nothing wrong. Two of us went to a beach.
- Just the two of you? - Yes, just the two of us and
she was wearing bikini and we were playing beach volleyball.
I applied sun block for her.
- You did? - No, it was because I was in a dream.
- And I liked it a lot. But... - Yes, it is.
- When I was in the seventh grade? - Wow, that's the time when you're --
When you dream about someone you like
you like that person even more.
- Because it doesn't feel like a dream. - Yeah, I know what you're saying.
You like that person much more.
I used to like Sung Yu Ri the best but
- it changed. - That's because --
The important question is how did you wake up from that dream?
- We were -- - Did you kiss her, too?
We didn't --
When you dream about something like that as a junior high kid
I think I used to be most sexual when I was in junior high.
Of course.
I am talking about the things that won't be censored.
- It's only normal. - Of course.
How good is it to sit at the same table with that person?
Yes, there is so much to talk about today.
Yes, there is and there is so much to watch for, as well.
Kim Gu Ra and Lee Hyo Ri. Lee Hyo Ri and Kim Hee Sun.
And Lee Hyo Ri and CL.
Everything ends up with me.
Lee Hyo Ri and Sandara.
I see that what Hyo Ri used to do
are inherited by younger musicians.
Yes, of course.
- Sandara does a lot of commercials. - Yes, yes.
She is a model for a lot of brands I used to model for.
- You did that cosmetic brand, right? - Yes...
I hear that Sandara wants to make
- a special request to Gu Ra. - What is it?
How should I call you? Mr. Kim Gu Ra?
Just Gu Ra?
Yes, it's okay.
He likes to be called by his first name.
You can say, 'Hey, Gu Ra.'
Why not.
- What is your wish? - It's been a year since I've been on TV.
As I am not so good at entertaining people.
I would like you to express the parts
that I don't even know about myself.
- I am so embarrassed about it. - What? What is it?
[A rookie in entertaining. Please be easy on me.]
Please help...
She spent all night make this.
An amazing set up.
- Did you make it yourself? - Yes...
- You made it yourself? - Yes, I made it last night.
My dream is to become like a running faucet on TV.
That's why I'm always on TV.
I hope you make me into an entertainment expert.
- You want to do a lot entertainment shows? - Yes.
- You want to be on entertainment shows? - Yes.
Since Hyo Ri, Hee Sun and Gu Ra are here
we can all help you.
Sandara is a likable guest on entertainment shows.
But because there are too many
big name guests here today
you should think it's your unlucky day.
Why, why?
Don't worry about this one.
I know a lot of good entertainment shows.
Cable TV shows like Taxi and Martian Virus --
Why should she be a guest on your show?
Wait a minute.
You could talk about it without any obligation.
Anyhow, today you should work with what you have, okay?
No, Sandara might do really well today.
- There is another one. - Another one?
You made them yourself?
- Show them your bag. - My bag?
I have...
It's a bundle.
It's usually rookie comedians who make props.
A K-pop star making a prop?
When someone asks me a tough question, I have 'Pass.'
And also
- Let me borrow that one. - Yes, yes.
That's amazing.
If there are too many attacks...
I have a yellow card.
Then, can you get off the set if we give you a red card?
So, this is how you play it.
You can't pass questions
if you want to go on entertainment shows.
- You need to just talk about them. - Yes.
You should just talk about what's on your mind.
Rather than making things like this
it's better to answer a tough question.
That's the best. She knows what it's all about.
If you answer a tough question
you'll feel much more freedom.
You feel much lighter.
On our show, we can't tolerate something like this.
- We can't. - Oh, Dong Yup!
[Oh!]
[Oh My Gosh]
Nobody gets to pass a question.
I think --
- I think he went too far. - You went too far. You went too far.
You can't pass a question. You can't.
Even he goes too far, too.
Didn't you?
You sometimes go too far when you want to make people laugh.
If you think I went too far, please edit it out.
[We'll show you how to go too far in editing, as well -PD-]
Time to talk about rumors. I Heard It Through the Grapevine.
I heard it through the grapevine.
It's better to relax and talk about it all because
when you talk about it all, we'll cover you afterwards.
Because you can completely recover by talking about your one-liner.
So, the first half is like Radio Star and the other is like Healing Camp?
[Lee Hyo Ri she is! She summarizes it so clearly(?)]
If it sounds good, we talk about it all.
Nobody owns the stories.
We are supposed to work together.
Lee Hyo Ri's rumors are assigned to Bong Tae Gyu.
When it's time for her one-liner, I'll take charge.
I'll take care of it myself.
Have you heard a rumor regarding yourself recently?
- Regarding myself? - Even if it isn't recent.
Have you heard a rumor saying
that you and I got into a fight?
I've never heard of it.
It says you and I pulled each other's hairs in that fight.
A long time ago.
- Ah, yes, yes. - Six years ago.
Since both of you have long hairs.
It says we were drinking at a karaoke bar.
They say I fought every actress.
When I look them up, every rumor says I fought everyone.
Do you usually like to fight?
No...
I am good at fight, so people don't pick a fight with me.
I look tough but when someone gets mad at me
I tend to cry.
I don't fight well.
When someone tries to pick a fight
my heart pounds and I want to cry.
I am pretty soft-hearted.
So, there was a rumor saying that you two fought at a karaoke bar.
Since she's soft-hearted and I fight well, that means I hit her?
It was good to see two of you
hugging in the stand by room.
Even though we aren't close friends
I feel like we are close because we debuted
and worked around the same time.
Have you two ever got together for drinks?
- Never... - Ah, really?
- I think I met you at an award show. - Yes, true.
I was so drunk the night before.
There is a humiliating photo of me
because I went there so swollen up.
[Hyo Ri was totally humiliated?!]
I appreciated it so much.
- I made you look beautiful. - Yes, you did.
I think if Hee Sun and Hyo Ri met at a private setting
you two will hit it off so well.
You should contact Hee Sun and --
There are some people that I thought
I would like to hang out with
if they are the same way in real life as how they are on TV.
There are a number of them.
Hyo Ri and Ko Hyun Jung.
I think if the three of us drink together...
something interesting might happen.
[We go drinking together]
I think one of us will end up crying.
[It will be more intense no matter what you imagine]
Anyway, Reporter Bong Tae Gyu. Reporter Bong.
I hear he was so busy this week.
He dressed like a reporter, as well.
He's wearing one of those jackets, too.
It's a very refined-looking jacket. He seems like a reporter.
Can we look forward to it?
I was worried about being assigned to Lee Hyo Ri
because she's been on TV so many times.
- What would I talk about? - I didn't know what to research.
- Wow... the rumors are endless. - Really?
Usually, when I do my research online, I can get to every rumor.
But with Hyo Ri, I was doing my research even today on my phone.
That's because I've been doing this for a long time.
Yeah, there were so many of them.
I found that a major newspaper created a department
just to research and report on Lee Hyo Ri in 2003.
Because she was so popular.
And when they write a headline about Lee Hyo Ri
the sales went up 10%.
She made headlines 891 times.
It's a Guinness record.
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't know.
Your song '10 Minutes' was a mega hit at the time.
When a new musician debuted
because Lee Hyo Ri was so popular
'Lee Hyo Ri, out of the way!
Lee Hyo Ri, freeze,' entertainment news wrote.
'Slap Hyo Ri on the face.'
- Did you hear about that department? - I heard about it.
When I went to the broadcasting station
I knew the reporters.
I even remembered how they look.
Maybe because of that, your scandal broke out
because of a paparazzi.
I don't think we had that many paparazzi back then.
I think it started with Lee Hyo Ri.
Because of a paparazzi?
When you talk about this on air
doesn't your boyfriend feel bad?
- When I talk about my past? - Yeah...
Is it bad, Sweetie?
Then, I'll control myself.
In my opinion, it's so stupid to hold onto the past.
That's right. Yes.
It doesn't sound too good when I talk about it but...
- I don't hold onto the past. - It's such a stupid thing to do.
You should look to the future, right?
Tae Gyu, have you found a recent rumor about me?
So, I am about to start reporting on rumors about her.
- You haven't started? - I haven't started yet.
You were just testing the waters.
I'll start my presentation on Lee Hyo Ri now.
South Korea's top handsome couple. Lee Hyo Ri and Lee Sang Soon.
[South Korea's top handsome couple(?)]
It's written here that you are a 'Beauty and beast couple' but I...
I think you are a handsome couple.
I am one of the big supporters of Lee Sang Soon.
How should say it --
- You feel a sense of kinship? - I feel a sense of kinship.
When I look at him, I think, 'That's it!'
- That it could happen to me --
He's better looking than you are, you know?
Even if that's true, I still support Lee Sang Soon.
But the president of your company keeps saying
that you should break up with him.
I heard it through the grapevine.
Not her parents?
I heard that too.
- Did you? - Yes, I did.
He never told me about it directly.
I guess he goes around telling people that?
There is a rumor like that.
I don't know how he really feels but he is friendly
with my boyfriend when we go for a staff dinner.
But I remember that he didn't look too happy about it.
But I think, more importantly
Hyo Ri, you made an announcement, right?
That you will give away your leather purses.
And that you are a vegetarian
and you won't do liquor commercials anymore.
So, the president of your agency can't be happy about it.
How does it relate to dating Lee Sang Soon?
I think he believes that I changed because of my boyfriend.
But it's not related to Sang Soon at all.
I met Sang Soon about a year after I made those changes.
And he became a vegetarian because of me.
He became an advocate for animal rights
so he changed a lot because of me.
He has nothing to do with it.
- The changes weren't because of Lee Sang Soon? - No.
I made those changes on my own.
It's like when people say how
someone changed because of bad friends.
I think it's because people wanted to know why I've changed.
- How long have you been dating him? - About three years.
It's been a long time.
Because he wasn't well known, the agency said
when it made the news, they were like
'Why Lee Sang Soon? Why?'
Everyone was wondering, 'Why would she?'
It's because I chose by looking at the person
not the person's popularity.
We really are a great match.
We connect on many levels like soul-mates.
He studied overseas.
I hear his family is exceedingly wealthy.
I heard a complete opposite, as well.
I heard his parents own a small restaurant.
- Ah, really? - A total opposite.
- His parents run a sushi roll restaurant. - So, that's the truth.
But they sell 10,000 sushi rolls a day? Could be true.
There are so many sushi roll giants, you know?
Ones who have so many franchises.
The one that's known for almost addictive sushi rolls.
And all they do is make sushi rolls all day.
He told me that his family used to be very wealthy.
But after his parents went through a lot...
He worked to pay for his education overseas.
He gives his parents monthly allowances now.
So, he is a self-made man.
So, it is true about his past, including what he said.
His parents still run the restaurant?
Yes, yes, I go there often, as well.
- They must made it big by now, then. - Are they?
They are busy because their food is so delicious.
- Where is it? - Around Yangjae-dong.
Around the bus depot?
You have been there in person?
I went there to meet his parents and then have dinner.
I saw a group of customers leaving after eating.
They left a nearly full dish of sushi rolls.
His mother said she'll make sushi rolls for me
but I said, 'I'll have this one.'
Because you cannot eat sushi rolls messy, right?
His parents liked me so much because of that.
[How could they just leave this sushi roll?]
[I'll finish this.]
- The ones they left? - Yes.
His mother will expect even more out of you next time
you probably need to eat food off the floor.
Ah, wait a minute. Don't think you went a little too far?
No, but... I was...
What do you mean it was a good gesture?
Why would you look at it that way?
You wouldn't have done it even they left ramen noodles.
- Left overs. - Because they're sushi rolls...
I think it was a high level strategy by smart Lee Hyo Ri.
When I think of you, I can't ever imagine you doing that.
I extremely detest anyone not finishing their plate...
it's almost like an... disorder.
When I was young, my dad hit me once
if I left one grain of rice in my bowl.
Two hits if I left two.
I grew up like that.
Dad was so strict... even more so than Scrooge.
Did you write your autograph for them?
I did but they didn't put it up on the walls or anything
because they know I feel very uncomfortable about that.
But aren't you working there as a server instead?
When I was making a music video
they sent us 200 lines of sushi rolls.
- Ah, really? - Yes.
And you paid them for it?
Sometime I did and... I paid them
when I had my company's credit card on me.
That's good.
So... then...
Has his parents seen you perform on stage?
- Ah... - Did they?
At the end of last year, I put on a concert
to promote humane treatment of animals.
I sang 'U-Go-Girl' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' there.
I gave his parents tickets because they wanted to be there.
Both of them sat right in front of me.
They were this close to me.
It was a small venue.
When I perform Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
I dance, opening my legs wide open.
Yes, you do, you do.
Whenever I did --
Yes, his father was there...
I was supposed to open my legs wide
but I opened them only a little.
You are supposed to like this...
I was supposed to open wide but I couldn't.
Because his parents were present...
Another rumor is that Lee Sang Soon
parties harder than Lee Hyo Ri.
It says he parties with people in the fashion industry.
- How did you know? - People saw him party.
I noticed that he greets people wherever we went.
'Good to see you,' like this?
When he was meeting a designer or a stylist
fashion people, you know?
When you say, 'fashion people'
you mean someone like Hong Suk Chun?
He is a fashion guy, too.
Clothing designer, stylist, shoes designer and purse designers.
He knew so many of them wherever he went.
I didn't even know them myself.
'How do you know so many of them,' I asked.
He said he used to go to dance clubs quite a bit.
He said he went to a lot of dance clubs in Cheongdam-dong.
Sang Soon is, in a way... two-faced.
- Like Jekyll & Hyde? - Yes.
There is a quiet and musical side of him in Sang Soon.
He's very open-minded and loves to party.
I think that's why we are a good match.
[Expect the unexpected]
When having a public relationship
aren't there more downsides than comfortable things?
I think it would be difficult.
- It's both -- - Even when we ask her something
she openly talks about it.
Because I don't have to hide anything.
Based on my experience...
- Based on my experience -- - Who did you go out with, Tae Gyu?
I dated someone.
He may not have that star quality but
- he dated someone for a long time. - I did.
Because they only publish my story
people only knew my side of the story.
Because Lee Sang Soon is relatively an unknown musician
they publish only your side of the story.
When did you regret making your relationship with him public?
Whenever I go on a show, they always ask me about him.
I releases a new album, so I would like to talk about it, right?
Every reporter and every show host ask questions about Sang Soon.
And because it's entertainment, I can't just give straight facts.
I need to poke fun at him and tease him, too.
There are times when I am watching the show with him.
- You watch it with him? - Of course they could.
- Watching together? - Yeah.
That's when he goes into his room in a sad mood.
On a show, I said that I like him
because he always does what I ask him.
I said that.
Next day, when I asked him 'Sweetie, can you do this for me?'
'You do it,' he replied.
He didn't say anything
when we were watching the show together.
But he felt hurt watching it.
Not just him, I can't even imagine how his parents
might think of me if they watch it.
You didn't make your former boyfriend public
but why did you make Lee Sang Soon public?
It was made public. I didn't.
It was made public because someone took a photo of us.
You could've said, 'We are just friends.'
Then, I sound like a crazy #$%&, you know?
I was embracing him in the photo.
The photo made it impossible to say that.
- Really? - They had to admit it.
The photo clearly says that they are going out.
What was that photo?
They were kissing and she says, 'We are friends.'
Really?
Hee Sun, you are lucky
because that didn't happen in your prime.
- Someone took a photo of that? - Yeah, yeah.
The good old times when internet wasn't wide spread.
I feel sorry for the musicians these days.
- It would be so hard for them to date. - [True]
How about making a duet album with Sang Soon?
An album with Lee Sang Soon?
- So, he gets to use my fame? - No, I don't mean that.
He is preparing something
but he always takes a long time to do something.
Let's say if I wanted to buy a humidifier, I buy it.
But he does a complete and thorough research.
He compares them. That's how he is.
They could a duet like Jeong Tae Choon and Park Eun Oak.
[Jeong Tae Choon and Park Eun Oak: A husband and wife]
[duet who were popular in the 80s.]
Could be Lee Hyo Ri and Lee Sang Soon.
You talked about Jeju-do.
I keep hearing that that's where
you are building a house after you marry him.
Hyo Ri talked about your desire to marry him on air, as well.
What's the real reason for building a house in Jeju-do?
I like surfing and I love the ocean so much, as well.
I visited Jeju-do several times.
It's place where I really want to live.
A place I really want to live.
Jang Phil Seun whom I respect so much lives there.
I found there are so many great places that aren't well-known.
I visited there quite often
and I came across a land that I liked so much.
For a cheap price and a good spot.
I decided, 'Let's buy this one just in case.'
I didn't know what may come of it, so I bought it.
I built it like a vacation home.
I went to Jeju-do so often, so I wanted to a place like home.
We could live there if we marry later on.
We are building it as a vacation home.
Our writers went to Jeju-do for a pre-interview with you.
I was there.
- Were you with Lee Sang Soon? - Yes, I was with him.
- There is another rumor about her. - Yes.
- They are endless. - Like an unlimited fountain.
You are the most well-known vegetarian celebrity.
But I hear that you became so sensitive
people around you are having a hard time.
I heard through the grapevine.
- You weren't a vegetarian before, right? - No, I loved meat.
She really did.
- You don't eat meat? - It's been about three years.
What happened three years ago? She changed so suddenly.
Have you heard, 'You've become so sensitive,' from people around you?
What happens if you don't meat is
Your taste bud becomes very sensitive.
Your sense of taste becomes better?
You want what's delicious.
You don't want to eat just anything
because you are limited in what you eat.
You prefer to eat something delicious and high quality.
Because of that, I used to eat hamburger.
I used to be happy with hamburger and sushi rolls
when we were too busy.
But now I say, 'Buy me a salad from this location.'
The ones that don't have meat in it?
I ask them to buy me a specific organic item
so I understand that would be difficult for my managers.
But in terms of my temper, I used to be so fiery.
I used to get really angry and regret it later.
But now, I've become a lot more peaceful.
- After you became a vegetarian? - Yes, yes.
I guess it's just not you who think that way?
When you compare carnivores
with herbivores in their behaviors.
I hear there is some truth to that.
But I can't live without eating meat.
I used to be like that, too.
My skin used to be okay
when I wore fake gold bracelets.
But now if I wear fake gold anything
things go horribly wrong.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
That's why I have to be picky.
- So, those are real? - Yes, yes, yes.
Wow, incredible.
I bet same it's the same with your cosmetics, too?
I used to be able to use any kind of cosmetic.
I get rashes now if I use cosmetics
that contains a lot of alcohol and scent.
- It makes things uncomfortable for you, right? - It does.
If I wear clothes made out of polyester too often --
- When it's made out of chemicals? - I get rashes.
Although there's a lot of uncomfortable things in daily life.
You spend much more money, right?
I spend more money than before.
Organic vegetables are more expensive, right?
You know how moms buy only wool-cotton
fabrics for their babies.
So, you mean you became like a baby?
I don't look like a baby but only my physical constitution.
Wait. So, no duck-down parka for you?
I do. I wear duck-down parka.
You know, I can't be perfect.
It's impossible to be perfect for anyone.
- No leather shoes? - No, no leather shoes.
Don't you find it difficult? When I heard it
I thought, 'I don't agree with that,' when I noticed people
criticizing you doing something slightly not vegetarian.
It happens a lot.
It must be tough on you.
The reason why celebrities and regular people
are afraid to start it is because
'I like to eat meat. I like leather purses and fur coats, too.'
'I like them all. How do I stop?'
Many people think this way, right? But start with one thing.
'I won't use makeups that's been tested on animals,' for example.
'I like beef, so I won't eat pork,' for instance.
Simple things like that.
I am curious about this.
There were famous celebrities
who put on a performance for a cause like that and --
- Going nude. - To protest for their cause, right?
Any plans to do something like that?
Because you want to be there?
I'll send you a personal invitation.
You know, there are famous people who do something
like that to protest against wearing fur.
And I've seen people and organizations
do something extreme like that.
I think doing something extreme like that
won't have a positive impact in our country.
'Animal rights activists are strange people'
since people might think of us that way
I would like to take a gentler approach to it.
Gentler approach?
I could write a book or talk about it gently on a show like this.
Since you don't eat meat, you don't drink as much...
- I drink much less. - Ah, really?
I drink much less and I used to drink bomb cocktail
or mixing soju and beer together.
I used to like strong liquors.
But I drink liquors that are soft
such as grape wine or rice wine.
So, if you used to eat meat
as a side dish when you drank --
- I eat veggie pancakes. - Veggie pancakes.
Cucumber with bean paste.
Sometimes I eat raw fish, as well.
- Imagine not eating meat. - But they are so delicious.
- Aren't they? - Yes.
- You are refraining yourself, right? - I am.
- So, you still think about wanting meat? - I do.
When I'm tired or when a concert is over
we have dinner with all the staff afterwards and eat pork.
Then why don't you ask your staff, 'When I am eating raw fish
'why don't you put some raw meat
underneath it when nobody is looking?'
'So that I can eat some meat.'
I don't think I can start it because once I do
I might lose control.'
I really want to eat dumplings
that has a little bit of meat in them, kimchi dumplings
If I eat it, I think I'll lose what I've done in the last three years.
- CL, do you like to eat meat? - Yes, I do.
She's at that age.
What comes to your mind when you listen to this?
But I don't eat much meat because it's not for me.
Really?
- I never knew. - Me neither.
It's hard to chew and digest it.
- But you do like it. - I like it but I can't eat much.
Then, it's better not to eat it.
- How about you, Sandara? - I like it so much.
- I think meat is probably right for you. - Yes, yes.
How come are you still so thin?
- Because as soon as I eat it ... - Is it okay to talk about it?
There is a rumor that her intestine is extremely short.
Really? You must be so healthy, then.
Your metabolism is very...
Lee Joon, what do you think about what Hyo Ri is saying?
I ate BBQ with her in my dream.
- At a beach, right? - Yes.
Ah, he's so funny.
'I ate BBQ with her in my dream,' he said.
They feel awkward.
At least in his dreams.
Shall we talk about 2NE1 now?
My turn is over now?
There always are rumors that you ladies aren't getting along.
I hear that you ladies don't even talk when filming is over.
I heard it through the grapevine.
At the center of all this, there is Sandara.
They say she only texts them
because she doesn't want to talk to them.
That's a complete misunderstanding.
- So, it is true? - No, we talk a lot.
I am someone who is very shy.
Even with your group members?
I don't like creating a problem for someone.
When I want to talk to them, I couldn't just knock on the door.
Because I was worried that I might wake them up.
So, I once hit a pot outside their doors.
- Isn't that worse? - I think it's worse.
Don't you think it's better to just knock?
I feel so awkward saying, 'Please come out here...'
She feels very awkward about starting a conversation.
- Why is that? - Who do you feel most awkward with?
I don't feel awkward.
I feel comfortable. It's just that I feel
more comfortable texting them.
When she's in her room, 'Could you come out for a second?'
I text her.
Do you talk face to face when you meet?
I do and it's no problem once I see them in person.
But when it comes to knocking or calling them...
Do you send a text to see if someone's using the bathroom?
I am the first person to use the bathroom in the morning.
You don't use the bathroom afterward?
I do when there is no one in the apartment.
Because you feel afraid of running into them?
- It's because -- - Because you don't want knock?
Because it might distract them.
- Because they need to focus -- - I think...
[So unique?!]
She has extremely fast metabolism because of the way she is.
Because she doesn't want to bother anyone.
She does everything first including getting makeup done.
She always the first one.
- You aren't ever late, right? - Yes, I always --
- Is your blood type A? - Yes.
And also, I've known her for six to seven years.
I've seen her angry only once.
It was during an award show.
Stage dresses arrived so late that we had nothing to wear.
My stylist brought mine and I was putting them on
and I heard a sound of someone throwing a water bottle.
Like this.
But nobody saw it except for me.
When she did it?
- It was so funny -- - Her first anger burst in six years?
It was her first time but nobody saw it.
- And then? - And then
I think she thought everyone saw it.
Recently, she said, 'I might throw a water bottle, again.'
'You throw water bottles? I didn't know that,' I told her.
I should've thrown it hard but because there is a good girl in me
I should've thrown it hard but it was like
Like this. So, water spilled out only a little.
After doing that, she praised me for it.
'Well done, Dara,' she said.
I liked it but nobody saw it?
It was so funny to me.
For some reason, she went outside, right away.
'Did she get frightened?' I thought.
I hear that a good girl like Sandara said this
Uee debuted earlier or later than you?
She debuted earlier.
You dissed Uee like this
'I never want to ever work with Uee, again.'
I heard it through the grapevine.
You two were guests for an episode of Family Outing, right?
Yes, and it's another...
- There used to be a rumor like that? - Ah, really?
- I felt hurt on that episode. - When you were a guest?
I went on a variety show all by myself when I was a rookie.
It was a show called 'Family Outing.'
Oh, Uee from After School and Sandara Park from 2NE1!
I am shy but I have to sleep in a room
with people I've never met before.
- That must've been like a hell. - That's what I mean.
And because of her personality it must've been more...
Why was she a guest on that show?
- Were you a host of that show? - Yes, yes.
I didn't worry much about that because
Daesung was one of the members on the show.
The president said, 'Dara, don't worry.
He said he will take a good care of you.'
So, I just went there and...
- I wanted to go home as soon as I got there. - Why?
Usually, you are the only guest who's loved by everyone but
I don't know why but Uee was the other guest.
Uee was pretty popular back then.
No, the male show hosts of 'Family Outing' were big fans of Uee.
Drives them crazy.
Way before she was a guest.
I think that's why...
They wanted us to play a game with Dara and Uee teams
and choose which team they wanted to be on.
Daesung was the first one who said, 'I want to be on Uee's team.'
[Daesung... why did you do that?]
Everyone likes her.
Daesung! Daesung.
Say it.
Daesung. Which camera is it?
- That's entertaining. - That is entertaining.
It looks a little bit like a 'monodrama,' right?
Every male host of the show, including Yoo Jae Suk
loved it every time Uee spoke.
But Hyo Ri wanted to be on my team. Thank you...
I didn't like Uee.
Because the guys were so up on Uee.
Dara was cute but
the guys were so crazy about Uee.
I'm sure you didn't get as much as air time?
I was almost got completely edited out.
Uee was in almost every shot.
After the filming, did you watch the show eagerly
saying, 'The filming went so well' or
'Oh...'
'Something is wrong here,' I thought.
You didn't know you would be edited out, did you?
I didn't do enough to get edited out in the first place.
Uee is slim and she did a sexy dance, as well.
But you were wearing a hot dog costume?
I was wearing a hot dog costume.
When Uee did a sexy dance?
The guys wanted them to dance
and Uee danced with her hair down.
And suddenly Dara takes out
a hot dog costume out of her bag.
[After Uee did a sexy dance]
[Hot dog Dara?!]
- What is that? - It's a hot dog, a hot dog.
- I think she's so innocent. - What else was hard for you?
At the time, I was afraid of even a small puppy
and we went to a village full of jindo dogs.
- There were dogs this big. - True, true.
[Every jindo dog in the village in the same place]
[Jackpot]
If I want to be in the shot, I have to say, 'Oh, so scary.'
I just stood like this for hours.
Because you were so scared?
I was a little angry too, 'What am I doing here?'
It would be like tigers are in front of us.
I am curious. Didn't your manager tell you about it?
First, Daesung was there.
What about Daesung?
Daesung is someone who does whatever
the older guys tell him to do.
He couldn't do anything for you.
Wait, wait, how do you feel right now?
- Isn't today going pretty well? - Today...
You helped me a lot, so --
You think you're doing better than Lee Joon?
No, I think I need to do a little better.
I didn't even expect CL to do as well as she is doing.
Is it better than the time when you were on 'Family Outing'?
I think it was better than that time.
But who knows. I need to watch the aired version of this...
No, no, no, no.
I think that's why the president of my agency
doesn't let me appear on TV.
When I was feeling depressed, he talked to me.
He used to offer only criticism
but he spoke in a very tender tone
'Dara, it's okay,' he said and I felt like crying.
Two seconds after that he said, 'It is your fault.'
[Give them a break, then give them hell?]
I was hurt once more.
But Dara, isn't there a reason
why you want to be on variety shows a lot?
I just like feeling happy and I believe I can entertain.
Yeah, you are entertaining.
- She's entertaining. - I am very entertained by the members.
Take your time with it. Take your time.
When I was young, I didn't know how to be entertaining, right?
After the first time I co-hosted with Dong Yup
- he said I won't be able to make it. - Really?
She got better but in the beginning
- She was willing but didn't know how. - I was shy.
She didn't know which stories she could share.
Because I was young.
No, you are doing well.
When you don't know, I think it's better to just go for it.
- Just say it. - You should.
I think I like Hyo Ri even more
because she is very entertaining.
But when Hyo Ri helped and defended
you on 'Family Outing'
After 'Family Outing', your appreciation for Hyo Ri
changed into hate-
- Hate- - Hate-
That you now hate her?
Didn't you say you joined Hyo Ri's fan club?
Entertainment is about exaggerating.
You need to add chunks of details. Understood?
You need to add a lot of fat on it.
- Turn 'dislike' into 'hate.' - Let me do one for the preview.
The reason why I came to hate Hyo Ri
after appearing on Family Outing is.
[Self made preview? Sandara's charm is unpredictable]
That was cute.
Today we get something like this.
I really can do it.
You joined her fan club and visited
her home when you were young?
I watched the shows she was on VHS because I lived overseas.
I saw that she was enjoying eating melon so much.
I thought, 'I guess she doesn't get to eat melons
because they are too expensive.'
Melons are everywhere in the Philippines
so I flew to Korea with melons in my backpack.
- You brought melons- - For Hyo Ri.
I went to her concert and of course I didn't get to give it to her.
Hyo Ri's fans treated me so well because I am her fan.
'I didn't get to give this to her,' I said.
'Just come with us,' and they took me to Sajang-dong.
- To her house? - They took me to her apartment in Sajang-dong.
'It's a new world.' I was waiting there.
I gave the melon to Hyo Ri's mom.
Ah, I see.
- How old were you? - I think I was 17 years old.
You liked her that much, so how did you come to hate her?
After the Family Outing filming, I went to talk to Hyo Ri
even though I was so shy.
She was about to leave and I stopped the van
then I got her phone number.
I knew I was being rude but I got her phone number.
I texted her six different times but she... ignored me.
- Really? - Yes...
- What did the texts say? - 'Hi, it's Dara.'
I can't have done that.
Is that why you change your role model to Eum Jeong Hwa?
- She changed it so suddenly. - She did.
- Aren't you so stinging. - I think she got the wrong number.
I really didn't get them.
When someone sends you that many texts --
I reply them at least once or twice.
I usually don't reply text messages but
I reply to younger musicians quite often.
When Yang Bae Choo sends me about ten texts
I reply at least a couple of times.
It's too mean to ignore someone totally, you know?
Recently, Dara started to follow my SNS account.
I didn't even know but my fans told me about it.
'Hyo Ri, why aren't you following Dara
when she's following you on Twitter?' they said.
So I hurried up and followed her.
I followed her and she followed me back
but I couldn't get myself to send her a message
because I was afraid she won't reply me.
Really? I am sorry, Dara.
When you asked Eum Jeong Hwa to save your phone number...
I ask her for that and she replied
immediately, 'I already did, hon.'
Then, what does that make me?
[She's a bad girl(?)]
- I'm sure you gave her the wrong number. - I am sure.
I know her. She wouldn't do anything like that.
- I'll ask for you phone number later. - Please do.
What did you want to do with Hyo Ri
when you get to talk to her?
I heard she buys a lot of drinks for younger musicians.
- I do... - I would like to learn to drink.
You shouldn't learn that from me.
You should learn how to drink from someone
who's well-mannered in drinking.
I buy them drinks when I hang out with younger musicians.
Who's your favorite?
I am good friends with 4Minute
because we have the same stylist.
I used to belong to same agency
that Goo Hara of Kara belongs to.
Since you like Hara, you can like Dara as well.
No, I do like her. I do but --
And I am Gu 'Ra.'
Hara. Dara. Gu Ra.
- Of course. - They are a package, a package.
- I am Gu Ra, after all. - I'll buy you drinks, too.
No, I should buy you drinks.
Yes, these are rumors about Lee Joon.
Let's choose one that's refreshing.
I don't like to talk about this about a K-pop star.
- If you do something wrong, you could be... - That's true.
- We need to protect them. - I haven't done anything wrong.
Okay then, I hear that you are going out
with Hyuna from 4Minute.
[KO-ed once more!]
I heard it through the grapevine.
You are... you are... mentioning the real name?
I was so shocked.
- What does that mean? - You should come out clean.
That's so hardcore.
- That's so big. - Isn't it? But you knew about it, right?
I knew that... but I forgot about it
because it happened so long ago.
Because you went out with her so long ago?
No, no, no. I didn't even...
There is this rumor...
that Lee Joon and Hyuna are going out.
Many people talked about it. I thought, 'Can't be...'
They kissed on an airplane?
There is this eyewitness account.
Someone saw them being physical intimate.
Who? Who saw that?
- People said that. - People.
Should've been more careful.
People asked more about it
and his agency explained it by saying
that they were making a music video on the airplane.
But the music video doesn't have any scene on an airplane.
It's not that we went out.
We were in a music video together. That's true.
[Lee Joon was in Bubble Pop! by Hyuna]
- It's true but -- - He said you didn't film on an airplane...
I was curious about that too. Why an airplane --
- Were you two on an airplane? - We were.
We were on the same airplane on the way home.
As we've mentioned, you never filmed on an airplane, right?
Then, why did they say that?
I was at a loss as how to explain that
and today I get a chance to do just that.
You should put an end to it today, then.
- Did you two sit side by side? - Yes, we did.
There weren't too many people around you, right?
There were no one around me.
- Is that you were physically intimate with her? - That's --
- But there are flight attendants on an airplane. - That's true but --
What happened is that we did fly back home sitting
side by side after we finished making her music video.
But there wasn't anyone around.
And after becoming good friends making a music video together
it would be weird if we sat apart.
I've been on many international flights with other musicians
and we always sat separately.
Most celebrities sit in different spots on an airplane.
We became very good friends.
We filmed in Okinawa, Japan.
It's quite sunny there...
What the heck am I talking about?
Why talk about the weather?
Hyuna was struggling quite a bit.
That's why you wanted to take care of her.
It wasn't that I wanted to do that.
I joined the filming very late.
I was in Korea partying and flew over there.
And also, don't add any detail
like partying in Korea to distract us.
I cheered her up when she was stressed
and we ate together several times.
We became friends very fast.
I think it's like this. We were taking a picture together
and the flight attendant might have misunderstood it.
- Right, right. - I think they exaggerated what they saw.
And what's wrong with them having feelings for one another?
I am wondering if you felt no attraction for her.
I didn't because she was way too younger than me.
What's the age difference?
- Four to five years. - Come on.
What are you talking about?
Eum Yong Soo married someone 17 years younger.
[Love has no frontier]
Female celebrities are warned about Lee Joon.
- Really - Yes...
- Have you... - Never heard of it before.
Lee Joon is suffering from a terminal case of prince complex.
Ah, prince complex.
I hear that they don't want to be seen with Lee Joon
so they don't even look him in the eye.
Who? From which girl group?
So, that's why Dara kept looking this way.
Hyosung of SECRET said that.
I am so shocked.
We don't say things like Mr. A or Ms. B.
On KBS Star Golden Bell in 2010, you said
'I think Hyomin of T-ara likes me.'
On another show, 'We became a team
because Hyomin picked me.'
She appeared on a TV show wearing a hat I gave her
that's because she has feelings for me.
And I really do sound like such a player.
I heard that you think that every woman likes you.
What happened with Jeon Hyosung?
Let's start with Jeon Hyo Sung.
I swear I've never talked to her besides TV shows.
I've never asked her, 'Do you like me?'
I think, at the time, MBLAQ
was more popular than SECRET.
I was trying to help a younger musician.
So, it's Jeon Hyosung who's making it up?
Back then, when SISTAR debuted
we debuted earlier than they did.
I used to be a regular guest on Star Golden Bell.
The members of SISTAR wanted to go eat with us.
But now I think I should ask them to dine with me.
It was like that and I said, 'I am so honored. I love SISTAR so much.
I danced for them.
It was just like that.
But Hyuna was more popular than you were.
It's hard to know when to stop, right?
Now, it's like...
We are close. That is true.
- Ah, with Hyuna. - We are close.
we did party together but we certainly aren't going out.
If I did go out, I am sure people would've notice it.
And who is your ideal type of woman?
I like Fin.K.L a lot.
Why Fin.K.L all of a sudden?
We used give an answer like that
not to give wrong ideas to anyone.
'I love Ahn Sung Ki.' Like that. You mean it that way, right?
- A guy could mention? - A guy like that?
Someone that's safe to mention.
Then, have you heard any good rumors about yourself?
Me? I heard that many women would like to marry me.
Why, why, why?
I am frugal.
- And also -- - And?
- I get obsessed in a good way? - Obsessed in a good way.
There is that kind.
Taking care of them.
'Have you eaten,' like this?
I keep calling her and worrying about her.
Call every 30 seconds if she hasn't eaten?
I would bring food for her to eat.
Let's say that is how you are.
Frankly, when you meet people, you come across K-pop stars
who are younger and same age as you, right?
Yes, yes.
How do you feel when you see them date each other?
I think I hold back because of that.
I would like to explain it here.
I couldn't tell you who it is but
a lot of musicians go out with person A and person B, right?
And person A goes out with person C.
And person A goes out with person D.
Is this animal kingdom or what?
- That's because -- - There aren't too many that they can date.
- I feel so embarrassed because -- - I can understand that.
There is a female celebrity I like.
She went out with my best friend who belongs to a boy band.
And what if I go out with her not knowing about that, then...
Your best friend's girlfriend...
It could make all three of us feel awkward about each other.
How many female musicians have you gone out with?
I've never went out with them, seriously.
There were rumors about it but
I never went out with them.
I would be photographed if I am dating someone.
Because you want to show her off?
I prefer to make it known to the public.
CL, you've been in this business for a long time
even though you're young.
I would like to experience it.
It's been...
it's been three to four years since I debuted.
I see friends around me getting pursued a lot.
I've never been pursued.
Not even once.
No male celebrity?
Not even once. Nothing from a female, either.
I asked one of Big Bang members
that I am good friends with about it.
'When you look at how you dress on stage
it may not create the desire to be in touch with you.'
[I am tolerant]
'And because you don't go on variety shows
people don't know who you really are,' they said.
I used to worry about it
because nobody pursued me in four to five years.
When it comes to YG Entertainment
it feels like it's an empire on itself.
I think it maybe hard for other musicians to approach you.
They want to be good friends with you but --
They really do.
I think it will be easier now because
the president lifted the ban on dating last year.
One of my current goals is to have a boyfriend and go
meet the president of YG Entertainment holding our hands.
If you like me, upload a video about it
and the president of my agency will contact you.
Why upload a video for him?
Because I can't have my number appear on the screen.
You tell them to send private message on your SNS account.
Ah... please follow me on Twitter.
Miss CL.
There is this rumor about you.
'CL is YG's princess,' it says.
Yang Hyun Suk loves only CL.
I heard it through the grapevine.
There is a rumor like that.
I never know how to react when they play the music.
- It feels so awkward, right? - Yes...
I see that he has put up an LED advertisement
on the wall of YG building.
- To promote CL's new song? - Yes.
They used 16 stage costumes and 16 sets for her music video.
They invested the most amount of money for a music video.
- Why did he invest so much money? - Not sure...
- Did he do this for you, too, Sandara? - I haven't gone solo yet.
Were you the first one to release a solo album?
In 2NE1, Park Bom did it first.
We don't know what that means when we hear
'16 dresses and 16 filming set.' What do they mean, Lee Joon?
It's incredible. We used only two filming sets
and three stage dresses.
Hey, I notice that you wear that one often.
You wear that often.
It didn't take long to film it either.
But I hear this from my band members.
We went into a deep discussion about CL's music video.
We discussed about every scene.
Her agency works so hard for just one shot.
It's so amazing to see.
- I am not trying to belittle my own agency. - Of course not.
Most bands are like that, using two or three stage costumes.
Because they are very expensive.
She had a set that was built for just one or two seconds.
It was so detailed.
What I mean is why does CL gets all that
when there are musicians like G-Dragon and others.
We went hip hop this time and rap that doesn't have any melody.
Our agency loves hip hop so much.
I think they were glad to a female going for pure hip hop.
- The kind of music they wanted to do. - Yes.
It's addicting.
I was listening to it on my way here this morning.
All day today, I went, 'The baddest female.'
When I heard the song, it sounded plagiarized.
When... I heard the song --
- Are you forcing it, again? - No, no, no, I am not forcing it.
He's forcing it.
Apples are delicious. Deliciousness is banana.
Oh, that's that the underlying melody for the song.
You can't call it plagiarism.
Because nobody copyrighted it.
What is sampling?
That was sampling.
I didn't know.
I talked to Mr. Yang in a private setting a few times.
He cherishes CL and he manages more male musicians
than female musicians.
And she's so good at what she does.
Whenever he talks about her, 'I have a trainee who is really good.
Do you want to check her out?'
He always showed me the videos of her.
I feel embarrassed now.
- And the trainee was CL? - Sure.
Back then, I thought, 'She's cute and talented.'
'She will be more famous than you'
he told me that everyday.
I have a question. How old are you now?
I am twenty three years old.
Twenty three, right? But when I talk to her
she really does seem like a veteran musician.
She is unshaken no matter what question comes at her.
She may not be too entertaining
but she answers the questions as she wants to.
Usually, when new singers talk and it's not fun
so they get all jittery.
She isn't like that at all.
I am envious of that because I am still like that.
That's why, that's why
Mr. Yang listens to her opinions even though she is young.
Because she's so talented.
I think she's amazingly confident because she dined
with Mr. Yang Hyun Suk since she was young.
That's a rare thing to happen to a trainee.
It happened only once.
It's still rare...
I heard it's very rare to get to eat
with the president of YG entertainment.
On January 1st, I lived and trained in Korea by myself
because my family was overseas.
I had nothing else to do, so I went to practice on January 1st.
In our building, there are security cameras that can even read your texts.
He saw me because he was there on January 1st, as well.
'Come on down,' and he bought me black bean noodles.
[Go CL go!]
I've always wanted to ask this question to 2NE1.
The way you dress always garner a lot attention, right?
When I look at it closely, I noticed that CL
always gets the prettiest and coolest ones.
Out of the four --
You think they are pretty?
You always get the ones that stands out the most.
- No, no. - Sandara, do you have something to say on this?
I was worried that I might get caught up in it.
I am here today as a sidekick.
[Sidekick?]
What are you talking about?
CL's sidekick?
Did they ask you to appear on the show?
Or did they say she needs a sidekick?
- I think that's it. - No, no.
Greetings, the princess of YG.
Oh, no, that's not true.
I've met your dad before.
- He is a professor at Sogang University. - Yes.
- Professor Lee Gi Jin is very well known. - In physics.
Knows his name.
I notice that she grew up in a carefree family.
You passed elementary, junior high
and high school qualification examination.
- In a year and a half? - Yes.
I went to schools overseas.
I attended an international school here in Korea.
After joining YG, I was going to work and live in Korea.
I've never learned how to speak Korean before that.
Until what grade? Elementary?
No, I never spoke Korean until high school.
You spoke only English?
No, I spoke Korean with Mom and Dad.
Dad wrote a children's book for me.
- He drew the pictures, too? - He did.
I think the children's book he wrote is published now.
Yes, it was published recently.
- What's the title of the book? - Ppak Chi Gi Kka Kka.
- Ppak Chi Gi Kka Kka? - Yes.
Ppak Chi Gi Kka Kka.
I only learned Korean that way.
I thought it would be good to know at least basic written Korean.
I got it done fast. And I found that I need
to start from the elementary level.
You had no education before that?
I had credentials through my international school.
In our country, they don't count it.
I see that how your dad taught you became a big news?
I now realize that I grew up very carefree.
I used to live with my family.
You thought it's the same for everyone?
Yes. But when I visited my friend's house
I realized there is a couch and TV in the living room.
'You get in trouble if you don't do your homework.'
'You get in trouble if you don't do well in school.'
I realized that back then.
It was a big complex for me back then.
I would like to get in trouble for it
and I would like to live the same way as other kids.
- How was it for you, CL? - You didn't have a couch?
We don't have a couch and the TV is for watching movies.
My father is a professor.
Other professors wear a suit and leather shoes.
But my father only wore white t-shirts, jeans and sneakers.
He walks around without combing his hair.
You don't get in trouble for not doing your homework?
I asked him about it because it worried me.
'Dad, why don't I get in trouble for it?' I asked him.
'It's because it's your grades.'
'It's something you need for yourself in life.'
'It has nothing to do with me,' he said.
Wow, intense.
That's when I realized I need to study for myself.
I think I became more studious because of that.
She grew up in a very good environment.
This is what it really means to educate someone and it's hard to do it.
It's not that. I am doing that but my kid won't follow.
I don't interfere with his grades either, 'It's not my business.'
You handle it.'
But his grades are...
She's very smart as much as her dad is a great parent.
CL's entire family members are artists.
Ah, really?
Her mom does pottery. Her grandma draws.
Her aunt owns a gallery.
In her family, Dad is listening to music and Mom is doing pottery.
How nice is that.
I see...
I didn't like it when I was growing up in it.
I felt different from my friends.
Too different from others?
I wanted to do the same things as they did.
- But I didn't get to. - It's a high and mighty talk.
- No. - You heard it.
Hyo Ri got hit for every grain of rice she didn't eat.
- That was same for me. - When it comes to eating?
In my junior and high school days
I got trouble with my teachers when I danced and sang.
They called to their office.
It's great that she didn't go through that.
You talk with ladybugs?
Yes...
- I love animals, as well. - So, you talk with bugs?
For some reason, there were many ladybugs on our windows.
So that I won't be afraid of them, Dad told me they are my friends.
He told me to think of them as lady bugs
who are wearing beautiful dresses.
He wanted me to befriend them.
I think I played with a lot of bugs and frogs.
- Yes. - True.
I was so surprised by this.
I am very afraid of bugs.
When a ladybug came cross
I asked my manger, 'Please kill it!'
CL said, 'No! She's my friend.'
[Ladybug's best friend is CL?!]
But we are afraid of bugs and rats
because we are taught to be afraid of them.
That doesn't have to be if kids grow up with them.
As long as they don't do any harm to you.
I saw that my kid got so scared when flies came close to her.
Can you imagine how scared flies are of us?
Yes. Because we are much bigger than them.
What do you talk about?
I have a younger sister.
My younger sister was taught the same thing.
My sister asked it where it is going.
- To a ladybug? - Yes.
Then, did your sister make a ladybug sound
and reply, 'I am going home.'
No, I didn't do that.
[Hwasin]
[Finally]
My one-liner is...
[One-liners beyond your imagination is come to you]
It helped me withstand ten years of hardship.
[A magical one-liner that's found through life experience]
You wouldn't know unless you went through it.
I thought I am dying.
It was much harder than I expected.
I can rely only on myself when I am at the bottom.
[We reveal the secrets of amazing one-liners]
I think I am reconciling with myself.
It helped me the most.
- What is it? - It's my secret method.
[Summer special :Power of one-liner]
Did you hear that?
He said, 'Our Hyo Ri.'
[One-liners that are like summer cool breeze coming to you next week!]
