Hwasin: Controller of the Heart
It's a Rival Special. 2013 Destined Rivals Special.
Lee Jung Hyun! Kim Hyun Joong! Hallyu Goddess vs. Hallyu Prince.
My fan club in china is 300,000.
Nigeria, Uzbekistan, Japan. I have one if possible.
350 million.
The enormous secret hidden behind the fan club?!
Do you see Yong-sama often?
Because Yong Joon Hyung is also a guy.
Justin Bieber is also there.
Her guarantee is on the same level as Zhang Ziyi. It is 2 billion 9 hundred million.
It's easy to catch.
They call me the commercial queen among announcers. CF Queen vs. 100 Million Model Fee?!
Since they asked, I said 100 million.
That's nonsense!
- The host at awards ceremony. - Cheongwadae (The Blue House).
Do you intend to keep fighting with me?
Grapple over ceremonies?! Who is the No. 1 of ceremonies?
You buy women lingerie.
Stockings and schoolgirl uniforms.
Kim Hyun Joong's shocking confession(?) A Hallyu Star's secretive taste?!
Do you have thoughts of getting remarried?
Ah! I feel relieved!
A mid-summer night. A relieving Incarnation begins now!
Incarnation.
Tuesday night, the talk show with two faces,
Incarnation.
It's a rival special.
Over-passing Asia, they are spreading to the whole world without a hitch.
Lee Jung Hyun!
And Kim Hyun Joong!
They will do anything in order to survive.
Independent broadcasting rivals.
Kim Sung Kyong!
And Kim Hyun Wook!
- Your reaction is good! - Look at him!
His reaction is excessive from the beginning.
Why so early in the morning today?
We are starting exceptionally at 10:30 in the morning.
It's because of Kim Hyun Wook.
But! Even Hallyu Stars like Lee Jung Hyun and Kim Hyun Joong
have adjusted their time to ours now.
- It's because of Kim Hyun Wook? - No! That is..
They can say that this time slot is not good for them.
I can't say that this time slot doesn't work for me.
Then, you could have not come on the show.
You didn't have to cause damage to others and come on the show.
It's because I want to do both!
It's because I want to make an appearance here, nor miss that event.
It's like that.
Sung Kyoung, you know how I feel, don't you...?
W... well...
It's been more than 10 years since I became a freelancer.
- On the third or fourth year since I became a freelancer... - It's been 10 years?
It's been 10 years. It's been over 10 years.
One day, he met me at KBS.
He asked me, "Is it good to be a freelancer?"
I said, "Well..."
- It was in front of KBS, right? - Yes.
So he said, "Should I also be a freelancer?"
I said to myself, "You aren't ready to be a freelancer yet."
But he was thinking about it then.
He can't help but become a freelancer.
Because within KBS, he can't get promoted.
Because he has written too many written apologies.
He can't but do it.
- He knows too much about me. - Because he did too many ceremonies.
He has written to many apologies, he can't get promoted.
Before he got punished with poison, he drank the poison and came out.
That's true.
I think like this. I can become pathetic if I stayed on.
- Kim Hyun Joong, Lee Jung Hyun! A person must break off from corporate life.
He has to leave in the middle.
So even if the talk is centered around him in the beginning, please understand.
Please help me(?) It can't be helped.
Kim Hyun Wook , hurry and talk. You must leave soon.
I will speed it up.
I am a little uncomfortable because we spoke too much about Kim Hyun Wook from the beginning.
We have with us two Hallyu Stars.
If you consider the debut...
The two of you have more than 10 years difference.
Between Lee Hyun Jung and Kim Hyun Joong.
- The difference is 10 years? Yes.
Anyway, you are against a distant junior for the rival title.
Are you okay with it, Lee Jung Hyun?
I heard today was a Couple Special.
But... but, that is what the writer said we were doing.
We were actually going to do a Couple Special.
Yes.
We were going to do a Hallyu Couple and Freelancer Couple.
Kim Sung Kyoung said that she can't do that.
That she can't be a couple with Kim Hyun Wook.
It is a problem for me, too.
I haven't got married even once yet.
You must be so happy!
Wow! Wow! He butts in whenever he can!
Just let it pass by with a laugh.
Are you very impatient...?
Lee Jung Hyun is actually the 1st generation of Hallyu Stars.
But Kim Hyun Joong is also a 1st generation.
- The only 1st generation. - Isn't there something?
- The first generation on the 9 o'clock News? - Ah!
The novel influenza.
Ah! The first generation for that?
The first celebrity to catch the novel influenza!
I caught it before Tamiflu entered the country.
Before the vaccine came out! Before it came out!
So, you beat it with your immunity?
That is... back then, I caught it in Japan.
Fortunately, the vaccine was there in Japan.
They were well prepared in advance.
You were on the news because of that?
Yes, I came on the 9 o'clock News. Looking pitiful and with a mask on.
Haggard...
Thank you for being so worried about me.
I will recover from it quickly in Korea.
I will meet you soon with a better album.
Thank you. Thank you for being so worried about me.
He really came on the news doing an interview with a mask on.
I remember.
Stop butting in!
- Why do you say something like that? - How was my reaction?
Ah! Seriously!
Was my reaction okay?
What is this?
Ah! Seriously!
I will guard my portion(?)
Actually Lee Jung Hyun... her company CEO said...
that she absolutely must appear on "Incarnation."
Yes.
Is it really true? I thought because the production crew told me that earlier...
My fans in China really like "Incarnation."
Really?
When I said that I am only appearing on "Incarnation,"
my Chinese fans went berserk.
But... why is it popular in China?
Ah! Because of Kim Hee Seon!
Hee Seon Unni is also very popular.
The original Hallyu Queen, Kim Hee Seon!
She can't control her facial expression.
She can't raise her head.
"It is correct, but how should I make my expression?"
You're not sure, right?
Because she is saying something which is absolutely correct.
Oh! I see!
Contrary to the fan's reactions,
But personally, Lee Jung Hyun was very worried about making an appearance on "Incarnation."
But the reason is because of Kim Hee Seon.
- Ah! - Why? Why? Why?
- It was in the beginning of 2001. - Yes.
I went because I was invited to a concert.
- The opening was Andre Kim's fashion show. - Yes.
I was saying hello to the Designer.
Jung Hyun, I will introduce you to Hee Seon.
From below the stage, he called, "Hee Seon!"
So, Hee Seon Unni said, "Designer Sir!"
And I was standing right next to him.
He said, "I will make introductions, this is Jung Hyun."
And I said, "Unni, hello!" But Unni...
Whoosh!
I did that?
Oh my! Such misunderstandings...
- I had too many of them! - She was like that then.
She was like that back then.
Otherwise, I would not be Kim Hee Seon.
The coolest way in the world to handle a rumor(?)
- Me? No ways! - Yes.
I guess you didn't see me then.
There must have been a misunderstanding then.
She is not someone like that at all.
Back then, there is a separate person I didn't get along with.
The coolest woman in the world(?)
She is of petite size.
What is that?
What has that got to do with it? This guy butts in yet again?!
Why are you adding to it? Seriously!
A flood of criticisms.
She could have not seen her because she is petite.
No matter how small, she is still a person...
It's possible that she could have not seen her because she is petite.
What? Is her height less than 50 cm?
What is this? Seriously!
It is fully possible that she was not visible standing behind the designer.
Stop it! I will apologize instead.
Ah! Seriously!
Unexpectedly, the two of you seem close. You also speak comfortably to each other.
- We are close. We are friends. - You are friends?
- Actually, I think she is older than me. - I have no intentions of being friends with him.
I had no intentions of being friends with him.
Because I entered the company more quickly than him.
But he asked me my age, and since we are the same age, he said let's be friends after that.
During the interview, Kim Sung Kyoung kept referring to him as being the same age.
And Kim Hyun Wook kept referring to her as a friend.
I am not feeling bad because it is Kim Hyun Wook.
I want to go together with a Hallyu Star who is doing well.
I wanted to free ride on them.
I feel the same way.
He is not that well known that I can free ride on him.
He keeps telling you give him a ride.
- He keeps asking to give him a ride. - But, I heard he is the Wonbin among middle aged women.
- Zo In Sung! I do a morning talk show.
If he is Zo In Sung!
Anybody can tell that it is not true. Where did such nonsense begin?
- It's true! - That is looking down on middle aged women!
Moms really like me!
What are those moms' identities?
Moms are usually women who are married.
- So, how... - Whose mom is she?
I asked whose mom it is!
- But, even my mom likes him. - Of course.
- When I talked to her. - They don't dislike him.
But you shouldn't say that they like you just because they don't dislike you.
I don't know about other things.
But, please believe just two things.
First, I am very popular among married people.
Fine.
Second, among the announcers, I am in the top 3 for doing the most number of ceremonies.
- That's right. - According to the rank of casting.
If you say announcer, the kind of ceremonies these people want
are ones that are formal.
They often use announcers for such ceremonies.
But, as you may know, there are around 400 to 500 announcers in Korea.
- I see. - People who are in the association.
But if I do something that they can all do, then I don't have competitiveness.
So, one of my principles is
to be funny at least twice, no matter how rigid the ceremony is.
- Ah! - The people who are there.
And that to, not make them laugh by being humorous by doing this.
But with dignity.
By adding things to say that suit the place.
Who makes people laugh by doing this?
During a ceremony?
But, when you are at a ceremony...
For example, it could be something like this. Because it is very formal.
Hello, I am Kim Hyun Wook, the MC for today.
The reason why I am standing here is...
I heard there was an internet vote to choose the announcer that suits this position best.
You all voted, right?
Grandly, in the first place for the MC you want to be with...
I would like to be chosen.
I end it like this.
The people there think, "When did I vote?"
That is a great skill?
Aren't you doing it too complacently now?
There are many examples but...
There are many...
But in a very formal ceremony, even if I do just something like that, they laugh.
What about something at which you have to be really funny?
Then I make a couple of jokes.
Earlier, there was a section called "Searching Our Sounds" on MBC.
I made that into a joke.
Searching for our sounds.
My first son is a judge, the second one is a lawyer, and the third is a prosecutor.
My first son is a judge,
the second one is a lawyer, and the third is a prosecutor. What is this?
This sound is the sound of Incarnation's Shin Dong Yup bluffing.
Oh
my
God...
The sound of him bluffing. There is a joke I make like this.
Look for your sense of humor... and not our sounds...
Oh! It doesn't work!
- Wait a moment! Wait a moment! - I think the first "Woowek!" is better
- Wait a moment! - I will do that.
Our production crew is holding up a sketch book.
During the interview,
he said, of all things, he can't say this because it is this trade secret.
If this gets known, everyone will use it.
- Really? - Yes.
Hyun Wook... It seems you needn't worry...
Kim Hyun Joong.
You glared at him so hard momentarily.
Don't hate Hyun Wook too much(?)
No... I...
They tell you to look in front when broadcasting.
But his voice is really good.
I think that is why it can't be a punch line.
Your voice is really nice.
While listening, I closed my eyes and listened.
You needn't go so far as to close your eyes...?
- You closed your eyes and heard him? - Yes.
His voice is really good.
Frankly, that thing from before...
"Shin Dong Yup is a judge." What do you think of that thing?
It's not "Shin Dong Yup is a judge."
I really don't think that's funny.
It really isn't funny, right?
Still, Hyung, your voice is the best.
For a celebrity to get this rumor is frankly...
It is a rumor that doubts his character.
These days, if such a rumor spreads, it is a little devastating.
- Here... - What is it?
Kim Hyun Joong wasn't like that at his debut.
But when he became a Hallyu Star, he wears a cast on his neck.
So, he only deals with Yong-sama.
He doesn't accept greetings from his juniors at all.
Ooh! Ooh! I know by hearsay.
I heard it but...
Wait a moment, you shouldn't let this air because...
Let's just do it among ourselves first.
You are also his sunbae.
We are in the same company.
You are not a "sama."
You are just "GaRooJiGi." (The birth and life record of a strong man.)
JiGi. JiGi.
- Why do the two of you do this? Bong JiGi!
We are all MCs together, why do it?
Before, during his H.O.T. days, Moon Hee Jun
had such a rumor.
It is possible for Moon Hee Jun.
His hair is lie this and he can't see.
He just looks straight and walks.
Like a racing horse!
- He can't see. - His view becomes narrower.
You could understand that.
But Kim Hyun Joong!
Hey! But this is...
Take the bull by its horns or...
If you ask us to remove it, we'll do so.
Ah! That's not it.
Somehow, I am very shy.
I am nothing at all.
But they come and say, "How do you do?" It's not even the army.
"Sunbae, how do you do? " Saying this...
What is this? Is this North Korea?
It's too conventional?
- And these days, they do it this way... - "1! 2! 3! How do you do?"
"We are so and so!" Something like this?
And I have nothing to say.
.
. .
. . .
. . . Yes.
I say this and then I run away.
If I say then, "Work hard!"
I feel like I have become a chieftain.
It's been awhile since I heard the word, chieftain.
I have that kind of feeling.
I feel like I am too authoritative.
You are also a junior.
You are a junior to the sunbaes. But you don't do that?
I only say, "Hello." I don't say, "How do you do?"
That is... on stage,
they do well.
They are juniors who are free and do it so well.
Why when they come off stage,
why do they become like machines?
They do that, not because they want to, but because their company tells them to.
- They order them to. - I think it is a kind of culture.
I feel like they are making a weird system.
Actually, I rarely even go to the toilet.
- When I do a music program. - You hold it in?
You do that because you will meet your juniors and they will greet you?
I think I become nervous mentally.
I think I become nervous.
Some kids, when they are peeing, they turn around and say hello.
Come on!
You exaggerated to much!
It's true! Really!
- It's ture. What?
There really was such a case?
- See! - Really?
- There are such cases. - The most...
Wait a moment! Wait a moment!
- I know what it is. Kim Hyun Joong! - Because, here...
What I'm saying is, he was peeing and Kim Hyun Joong entered.
- When he was peeing. - That is not it.
He was like... Oh! Oh! That isn't it?
This isn't right?
Boy idol groups come to the toilet in a group.
They go together?
I don't know the reason why but...
A junior is peeing here.
And I, that is Kim Hyun Joong, came here and stood next to him.
Then how do they say greet you?
- The juniors? - Yes, your juniors.
"Sunbae, how do you do?"
- Really? - Yes.
- While they were peeing? - Yes.
That is, while coming in.
Then I am like... "Ah! Yes!"
"Ah! Yes!" Emergency!
After I am like this.
First, I close my zipper in a hurry.
You can go into a booth.
Yes. so, I turn around and then I go into a booth.
- In the middle? - Stopping n the middle.
Oh! It must be difficult!
But, again this is possible. If you go into a booth,
rumors spread again.
He must have some kind of problem.
A rumor like this circulates.
- I tell you, it's the truth. - What kind of problem?
- "Isn't he also strange?"
I tell you, this kind of rumor circulates.
So, you frankly wish your juniors don't say hi to you?
I wish we could just be a comfortable hyung and younger brother.
Not calling you sunbae.
"How have you been, Hyung?"
That is more comfortable for me, too.
From a sunbae's perspective, this is how it is.
There was a kid who always said, "How do you do, Hyungnim!"
After he gained some popularity.
- Comfortably. - He says, "Hi!" like this.
I got mad!
I was like, "What is this kid!"
He was like, "Hyung!"
If he was like that from the beginning, I wouldn't know.
But it is a little tricky.
But even you don't say hello well, don't you?
- Me? - Yes.
Suddenly... why... me...
Ah! Kim Koo Ra! Kim Koo Ra's greetings...
Earlier, I was sitting there, and I said, "Hello!"
He was walking and said hello.
I do say hello, but my attitude is...
I do have a tendency to buy misunderstanding.
If you see, you aren't exactly very well-mannered.
I'm feeling hot.
He is not without manners, but his manners are not that good.
- Yes. - That is the correct answer.
That's right. You are right on.
Hawk's eyes, Kim Sun Kyoung(?)
That's true!
I am not ill-mannered.
It's Sung Kyoung, who gets the better of Koo Ra.
Get the better of what?
Being close to Yong-sama, that is not just a rumor, right?
Yes. I call him Hyung.
Even text messages...
Not formal text messages but...
"Hyung, are you well? Buy me a round of drinks."
- Or... - Do you meet Yong-sama often?
At least once or twice a month?
At least around once a month, or once in 2 months, I see him.
Fro what I hear,
if the two of you talk on the phone,
it's talk about work. When to film the music video...
You only talk about it for around 2 minutes.
After that,
I heard this woman is sexy...
- What? - I heard that you speak about these things.
I heard about it.
- Aren't guys all like that? - Yes.
- Since Yong Joon Hyung is also a guy. - Of course.
- He is a guy. - He isn't married, right?
He isn't... married.
We all know that he isn't married yet.
- I got confused momentarily. - Did he get married?
Because you asked like that.
when guys get together, things that they always talk about are...
Well... stories about when they were younger,
and about the opposite sex.
Of course.
But this guy said that Yong-sama is too boring.
When did I? Why do you keep telling on me?
- You said that. - I still have time left on my contract.
Koo Ra Hyung... Don't do this...
If you talk about girls, it would be fun.
But you don't talk about things like that, right?
About the opposite sex.
We talk about the opposite sex.
I was deeply impressed. I am a little cautious.
- Why? - Because...
I rested a bit during my contract term.
But Hyun Joong worked continuously.
- Because you feel sorry. Yes, I feel sorry.
You can return it out and come out, why are you like this?
Why feel sorry?
Why do you speak so radically?
If you pay what you owe, then there is no problem at all.
Yong Joon Hyung, let's talk about girls together.
I am curious about what Yong Joon does to spend his time.
- He doesn't do anything in particular, right? - Yes.
He just likes playing games.
- Games? I was really shocked.
You know the game where you burst those animals... birds...
- Yes. - Something Pang.
- Angry something? - Angry bird.
- Yes. - Angry birdies.
For those things, his scores are...
- Animal Pang? - Yes, his ranking is no.1.
- Ah! - For all games.
Bae Yong Joon, Game Whiz.
- Really? - Yes.
I think he has talent in those things.
More than anticipated, Bae Yong Joon has a modest(?) hobby.
Kim Hyun Joong, your fan club in China, or...
If you count them worldwide...
in how many countries do you have fan clubs?
Well... overall, I think I have a fan or two in each country.
If I tell you accurately.
In 16 countries,
36 fan clubs.
- Wow! - Officially?
- Only the official ones? - Yes.
Wow! That's great!
Frankly, the fan club members just within China is...
How many were they? I heard it before.
Around...
300 thousand.
- Wow! - Really?
300 thousand fan club members?
The number of fan club members is 300 thousand.
It is as large as the population of a city in our country.
Wow!
That is great!
That is why, before... I saw a footage.
When she is having a concert, or something like that...
You can't do it in a gym, right?
- So... - Ah!
I did a concert once on a plain.
- On a plain? Yes, on the Great Plains of Mongolia
- The Great Plains of Mongolia? - Yes, between Inner Mongolia and China.
On a plain? Wait a moment.
Are all your fan club members farmers?
That you would do it on the plains?
That is not it.
I went to that area but...
It was on a plain...
I couldn't see the end.
Like a hundred thousand soldiers, they couldn't see the end.
That is incredible!
If people shout out,
it comes to me one or one and a half beat later.
- Like an echo? - Yes.
For the people right at the back to see you, the stage must also be huge.
Yes.
How big is the stage?
That stage then was as large as the stage for Dream Concert in our country.
But in the case of the stage for New Year's Special...
they also make a fountain in the middle of the stage.
An artificial fountain.
- They also make an artificial fountain? - Yes, it is really big.
Around how many meters?
- Well... i think it is over 100 meters. - An artificial fountain?
Because...
Because, the broadcasting company...
Because the stage is too big.
They urgently asked me to bring 100 back up dancers.
100 back up dancers?
Wow! 100 back up dancers?
But if I get together the entire choreography team in Korea, it doesn't come up to 100.
And how do you pay for the expenses?
So, I told them that it would be difficult, and at the most we can get 10 or 11 altogether.
They said that they will prepare 300 people from their side.
- Ah! - 300 back up dancers?
- So I went... - But they need to know how to dance!
All of them dance exactly the same.
- For which song? - "Wa."
"Wa."
300 people dance to "Wa?"
- Yes, but... - What was the dance for Wa?
It is this, isn't it?
I thought perhaps but...
Among themselves, after watching the choreography we did,
they followed us.
- They practiced beforehand? - Yes.
But, China originally does the New Year Special program really big.
And the standard is really high, too.
So, they really move like an army.
When they have the closing ceremony at the Olympics, it is really fabulous, isn't it?
They do it like that, all at the same time. They move really fantastically.
They must have practiced so much!
But, I also asked a friend who is studying in China.
Why do the Chinese like her? How popular is she?
But, apparently the Chinese were surprised.
Originally, Chinese people like spectacular things.
But on TV,
a person more spectacular than they thought appeared,
they were surprised that it was not a Chinese but a Korean person.
And he said that they really like that.
You see...
Even I, thinking about it...
If I am criticized in China, I would be criticized by one hundred million people.
At least, one hundred million!
- It's a relief! - Hyung, it's a relief for you!
Because I can shed tears,
it's a relief.
Normally, if you say the Chinese market is big,
"Oh! We can be loved there!" One normally counts that.
But Kim Koo Ra thinks about getting criticized there.
I should think about that! That is why I am realistic.
Kim Hyun Wook, if you go there, you will be heavily criticized.
That's his character. He is a heavily criticized character.
Exactly.
But really,
I went on an entertainment show around 6 years back.
- In China? - Yes. The MCs were very mischievous MCs.
They asked me, "Lee Jung Hyun, why did you come on a program with such a low viewer rating?"
So, I said, "I came on the show because I was thankful that you asked me to come on the show."
We have the lowest viewer ratings.
They asked, "Do you know how many people watch it?"
So, I asked, "How many people watch it?"
They said, "Only 100 million watch it."
- Wow! - Actually 100 million people!
Kim Hyun Joon is just as tough.
The show which had the highest viewer rating...
The accumulative number of viewers?
I came on the show called "The Pleasure General Headquarters." (Original title: "Happy Camp.")
- The title is good! Pleasure! - Wait a moment.
Is this a adult movie?
The title is... peculiar...
- Is it that kind of pleasure? - What kind of pleasure is it?
I don't know what pleasure it is but...
For the viewer's amusement, we do slapstick comedy.
According to us, it is an entertainment program.
- Yes, entertainment. - Oh! It is an entertainment program!
It is an entertainment program.
Around 350 million people. (Accumulated number of viewers.)
Then, the people who came as audiences for that program...
They have a lottery ticket.
Among almost tens of thousand people,
only 200 or 300 people people can enter.
Drawing the lottery ticket must also be hard.
Then, were there illegal tickets circulated?
Yes, illegal tickets were circulated.
The illegal tickets were worth around 100 million won.
Really?
Because too many people talk of it, to be doing this, sometimes it's a little... you know...
If possible, I don't do it on domestic performances.
- Chinese people... - They like it, right?
- Chinese people, if they like one thing, they like it till the end. _ That's right.
So, they put it in the contract.
When doing a performance in China, you will definitely perform "Wa."
It is in the contents of the contract.
Is it the Chinese version by any chance?
The Chinese fans really want to hear it in Korean.
That's right.
They want to hear the Korean version of "Wa."
Even us, when we listen to the theme song of "A Better Tomorrow," it's good.
But if we hear, "Thrust your resignation..." It is weird.
Indeed! The original(?) is the best.
I really like this song.
You are great!
Also, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics,
among the 20 singers who sang the title song,
you were also the only foreign singer.
Yes, Lee Jung Hyun was.
You really made it big!
Congratulations!
- What's the point now? - No, all this time...
her profile was low in Korea.
I was curious once in awhile what Lee Jung Hyun was up to.
Oh! You are really great!
Because a lot of the Chinese singers sang it in Korean,
I think that is why the song is very famous.
She is even modest...
And! Kim Hyun Joon!
Is that true?
He has plans to go to the moon.
A tour through which you can go to the universe was made.
By a private firm.
- It's expensive. - It is a private travel agency.
It costs around 200 million according to our currency.
200 million?
But... I thought about how I can go on it.
They don't deal with people like me yet.
- You need to be more famous or richer? - Yes.
It was like that.
Are there a lot of people on the wait list?
On the wait list.. For example.
From what I know, Justin Bieber is there.
Oh! Bieber!
I know that a member of N Sync didn't make it.
After he tried.
Not Justin Timberlake?
No. Another member signed for it but...
So...
There must be people you know who want to go to the universe.
- I need to work harder. - Ah! Work harder.
I may not be able to earn that much fortune, but after earning fame,
I will make sure that I can get on that spaceship.
I will definitely go there once before I die.
And to put behind a sad heart,
it is not certified as yet.
Send it off till the 100th time,
- and I will go after it is certified. - Whether it is safe?
You are comforting yourself like that.
But after hearing the two of them, I am starting to self-reflect a lot.
Both are Hallyu Stars.
And beyond Korea, they are both active worldwide.
And now, he is going beyond a world star to an universe star.
Yet, he says he wants to gain more fame and go out into the universe.
They sing in front of 100 thousand to 200 thousand people.
But to talk about speaking in front of just 500 people at a ceremony,
- I have come here. - So what?
I thought once again that they are great.
- Then what will you do if you stop getting ceremonies? - That's right.
- You better correct yourself. - So, you don't want to stand in front of 500 people, right?
No. I'm also fine with 20 people.
I like small ceremonies. Little ones.
- It suffices if you get paid. - You know family events.
It's Kim Sung Kyoung.
This person's rumor...
Our production crew dug out and looked though even old material completely.
The rumor that was printed on the legendary X Files of the Entertainment Industry.
Ah! The actual X Files?
From the stock firms?
It got revealed and became an issue.
- Which appeared on the stock firm leaflets. - Did you really do this?
Since time has passed, we intend on asking cautiously.
Kim Sung Kyoung, the top princess syndrome patient among the announcers.
She suddenly changes when the camera lights get turned off,
she treats the staff and production crew like servants.
Ooh! Ooh! I know by hearsay.
You expression doesn't look good.
- But? - Yes?
Like Kim Hee Seon, you can say, "If I did that in the past, I apologize."
That is... well...
After seeing that X File,
I thought to myself, "Ah! That X File is true."
- You are indeed great, are you admitting to it? - You are really honest.
- Because, sufficiently... - You must think about the commercials.
they could have seen me like that.
- Ah! the staff? - Yes.
The princess syndrome...
I am not a princess, if we were to say, technically I am a prince instead.
- I am not a princess. - A prince?
What is the difference?
A prince is a man!
I am the justice apostle.
Actually, after I became a freelancer,
the programs I did were news and talk show programs.
There were also many instances of live shows.
But if I look at the ments.
They made a questionnaire based exactly on press release of the interview they did.
Or the questionnaire lacks sincerity.
Or it doesn't fir logically.
There were a lot of those things from my point of view.
And since it is a live telecast, I have become very edgy.
- So you asked, "What is this?" - And we have to go in really quickly.
Why did you do it like this? Why did you copy the press release?
This is not right.
From the viewer's perspective.
The job of a writer is to make questions about what the viewers are really curious about.
And...
When we are doing a news program,
let's listen together, carefully to the question the anchor is asking.
If you listen,
whether you need to talk more about it here,
or whether you should cut it off,
we can make the decision.
That's true.
If we just do it like this according to the cue sheet,
whether it is a news or talk show, it is not interesting.
It isn't informative either.
But since I say things like that too directly,
"Who does she think she is?"
They can feel like that.
I think it is possible.
You should change the way you express it.
- The method of expression. - Right.
- My expression is... - Because it's like throwing fastballs at them.
- So, what I am saying is... - It is sensitive.
There are anchors who tell all the facts.
Everything in advance. Summarizing it.
Like... "A taxi crossed the center line,
and it crashed into a bus coming from the opposite direction,
2 people died and 3 people were injured."
The entire thing is in the anchor's ment.
An anchor is meant to convey that. What's wrong?
I think an anchor is like a drug peddler.
To say it simply,
he needs to make the upcoming reporter's comments more interesting.
Make them become more curious about it.
Then do you say, "There was an accident, let's see what happened."
- No. That's not it. - Then?
A big accident took place in this neighborhood.
There were some injured.
Reporter so and so did a coverage about the specific reasons.
Then at the least, "Why was there a crash?"
I'm saying that we need to at least make people curious about this.
Earlier, when I did the 8 o'clock news here.
There was a time when an anchor's ment I made became problematic.
It wasn't exactly a problem but...
With the corpses of dead infants,
there was an incident of conducting a bomb test on their graves.
It was done in America once.
But, I...
I thought this was not right.
So this is how I changed it.
On the graves where the corpses of infants are buried,
it was later revealed that there was a bomb test conducted on them
It was the actions of America which boasts the world's best human rights.
I changed it like this.
Just by changing the first and the last sentence,
I think the impact is different.
Yes.
Kim Hyun Wook, you appear very shabby next to her.
- He can't even butt in. - - Still, next to her...
- He is saying things quietly next to her. - He can't butt in because there is no gap.
I was also a news anchor.
What anchor?
I don't do the news program.
But when an announcer has night duty,
and events and accidents take place,
I have to convey the news.
I did the news program twice when events and accidents broke out.
The you did the news just twice while you were an announcer?
At the main headquarters.
When I was in the province, I did the news program for a year.
He did the news program somehow because he was on duty.
But, since it is an emergency,
In the real sense of the word, it is an incident or accident. It is breaking news.
I don't even shave.
On purpose. Because it is breaking news.
- Come on! - It's news! How can you direct?
It makes no sense!
Ah! Seriously!
Because it is breaking news.
You came up with a concept?
Were you at the scene?
Why are you doing that?
I was sleeping and there was breaking news.
If it breaking news, why didn't you do it with just your undershirt on?
Actually, at the bottom...
I don't wear pants. "In reality I don't wear pants but shorts!"
- And your hair, as it is? - Yes, as it is.
- Well... - You did that purposely because it is breaking news?
- To give a greater sense of urgency? - I feel like it is allowed.
- that is what I thought. - This is nonsense!
So I went and did it.
So you wrote a written apology again, didn't you?
I didn't write one but...
Why I remember it is because
the program director talks to you through the pager.
As it is breaking news, there is nothing in front. There is no cue sheet.
You speak on the spot.
It was when we had a typhoon.
It was when we had the Typhoon Jebi.
It came and it was havoc.
I was giving the breaking news. It was either Jebi or Maemi.
I was doing it. But I was more often a MC.
And I didn't do the news.
So, how to make the ment?
Hello everybody. This is the breaking news.
They say that Typhoon Jebi is approaching our country.
They say that it is moving from south to north.
Then we will follow it up north.
- Wow! - I did the news like that.
Then, we connected a village headman on an island.
Because reporters can't go there.
So, we connected the village headman.
We are connected to so and so village headman on so and so island.
Ordinarily,
anchors, after they ask for the news, they sit still.
And then they end it by saying, "Thank you."
But people who are often MCs make reactions to it.
He said, "This is what happened here and it is havoc!"
So I said, "It reminds me of the saying, once bitten, twice shy."
I made that ment.
- Wait a moment. - Like how Kim Sung Ju sunbae makes comments!
I don't think that is a comment to make on a typhoon site.
No. There was a typhoon in this area previously.
But another typhoon came.
And I made the last ment like this.
We will end the breaking news here.
We will convey the breaking news till the moment the typhoon leaves Korea.
I said the last comment like this.
- I ended the breaking news like that. - So, did you do well?
- Then the program director said this at the end. - Did you get complimented?
Ha ha! The news was entertaining.
Looking here.
- What is the story about you wearing your mother's fur coat? - That is...
Yes... During my time,
we weren't provided with wardrobe. We didn't have a stylist.
When I was a new announcer, I did the weather report on the roof.
But... What is it?
So, wore a fur coat then?
So...
I was trying to get a coat, but couldn't get it sponsored...
So! You wore a fur coat and did the broadcast?
Announcer Kim Sung Kyoung, please give us the weather report.
Yes, it is extremely cold this morning.
In Seoul, it is now minus 8.9 degrees, 0.4 degrees lower than earlier.
It is much lower, compared to yesterday.
Even in the inland,
there are many places around minus 10 degrees today
Even that got aired.
There is also an incident where I got rained on completely with heavy rain.
Because, on the rooftop.
It was when SBS was in Yeouido.
All the people here know it, right?
- But... - Why are you trying to tie them to you?
It is because I know all of them. The camera director who suffered with her then is right here!
That is because... I held a huge umbrella.
But the winds from the nearby Han River and the storm was blowing.
- I couldn't hold onto the umbrella because of this. - Because it will fly away.
So... suddenly, 5 minutes before the start of the broadcast,
the program director said, "Throw away the umbrella!"
Because you can hear it flapping through the audio system.
Because the umbrella kept flipping, I couldn't stand properly.
Announcer Kim Sung Kyoung, how much is it raining?
Did you expect the weather outside to be like this?
The wind is blowing a lot.
Yes. I can't hold an umbrella.
If I hold an umbrella, I feel like I will fly away.
In the southern provinces, there will be around 20 to 40 mm...
Ah! 10 to 20 mm of rain is recorded.
Let's look at the movement of the clouds first.
So, I threw away the umbrella.
I got rained on completely by the heavy showers.
And I gave the weather report.
I said, "Today there will be rain and so forth."
But, next to me, the MCs could be seen on screen.
The MCs were neat and tidy.
And they were looking at me very pitifully from the studio.
- You got completely rained on. - Yes.
So I thought to myself, "One day, I will definitely get back for this humiliation."
The SBS News was ahead of its times.
So, I always went down.
And I asked that announcers doing the weather should be given stylist, too.
But they always brought up the budget issue and said it was impossible.
And they called me a game cock.
I got all the criticism on my own.
And my juniors got all the benefits.
After I was done, stylists were given after that.
Actually, pioneers die gloriously in war and then the rest step on their corpses.
But, that fur coat was the best performance ever!
And then after that,
the announcers gave me a farewell party because I was quitting the company.
All the junior women announcers were crying.
why are they crying?
Because who will fight for them now?.
They all said that they are crying because the person who will fight for them is leaving.
But, I do self-reflect.
The way I speak is not ladylike.
But you have changed a lot after becoming a freelancer, right?
My personality has become a lot better.
This is what has changed?
I wanted to break free from the image of an announcer now.
I am too prim and I have short hair.
Rather, if you want to be extreme, then plait your hair like BMK.
Isn't that okay? The 2nd BMK, KSK?!
Yes! Dregs!
Isn't that nice? Who tells you things like this?
MC Koo Ra's radical solution! Reggae hairstyle?
- There is a black artist called Bob Marley. - I will give it a try.
- I will definitely give it a try. - Then... the program she is doing now is in danger.
What is he saying now?
Don't say things like that!
Would she seriously come on the show like that?
I see that he is saying anything because he has to leave soon.
I have become impatient.
I fell I must secure my portion somehow.
What? Secure your portion?
It's a rumor about Lee Jung Hyun.
She has earned a huge amount, beyond imagination, through her work in China.
The total income so far...
Wow!
If this is the truth!
SM, JYP, YG!
It is similar to the total income of the 3 largest domestic companies put together.
No, it isn't! What is?
Aigoo! Aigoo! No, it isn't!
How much did you earn?
- no, it isn't. - You can clarify it then.
But if you think about it in numbers.
If 100 thousand people come to your concert,
- if you just pay 10,000 won per person... -On the contrary,
after my first album became a hit,
the money I earned then in Korea is a lot more.
And... I did make commercials and advertisements...
But how can I earn the income of SM and JYP put together?
But if I look at the information...
I only looked at the information revealed by the Korean media.
You are No. ! on the Foreign Artist Chart in China.
Then...
On CCTV, Beijing TV and other main channels,
you are the heroine of the dramas.
I am really proud of you.
TV, refrigerator, laundry machine, cellphones, cosmetics...
You were the main model in loads of commercials.
The most important thing here is the guarantee, right?
Her guarantee is on the same level as Zhang Ziyi, the top Chinese star.
The guarantee that Zhang Ziyi received in 2009 was
2 billion, 9 hundred million!
No! I didn't!
It's just... I don't know.
Mentioning Zhang Ziyi... it is easy to catch!
It is all true that I shot the commercials.
Of course, that doesn't make sense.
That makes no sense.
It means that you are that popular and you are receiving that much love.
But looking at it, the commercial fees are...
Because the economy in our country was not doing well before.
But, these days, they use foreign actors like Pierce Brosnan.
They say that there is not much difference in the advertisement costs of our country and theirs.
That's true. Unexpectedly.
Even in Chins, the level is similar to ours, right?
And what is really good is that...
if you shoot it once,
if you extend the contract,
we shoot it twice to four times in a year.
But over there, they keep using the one footage till the end.
- I am doing it for the 4th year. - The basic contract is...
- 4 years, right? - The same cosmetics.
No. I did it for 2 years, twice.
Really? Why is my contract for so long?
- Even if you make a new contract... - They use the old film continuously?
- They keep using it. - You may not like it anymore.
You have to shoot it well.
If you have to shoot it again, it is very tiring. You have to spend the night up again.
And also, it is obvious that you made a lot of money because
I heard that the production cost for your music video was huge.
Director Park Chan-Wook directed it.
But, isn't Director Park Chan-Wook's directing fees pretty expensive?
That is...
In 2011, I shot a short film called "Night Fishing."
Director Park Chan-Wook's movie?
Director Park Chan-Wook shot a movie.
But it got the Golden Bear Award at Berlinale.
- Yes. - For the short film competition.
But I participated without a guarantee then.
Ah! I see!
- Actually, the director received no guarantee either. - Really?
Yes.
I thought that he would definitely not do it this time.
When you first made the proposal?
Because Director Park Chan-Wook made a movie with Nicole Kidman.
Decaprio always says, "Let's eat together."
- Extraordinary! - Kanye West or Nine Inch Nails...
Even famous foreign singers and musicians like them.
Even if they make a proposition, he doesn't do it.
- So, I also thought that he would 100% refuse me. - If he isn't going to do it 100%,
then you shouldn't have made the proposition in the first place.
- Because, because... - You had nothing to lose.
- He refused the foreign artists, but he did mine.
I did his for no guarantee last time,
if he is a human being, he would have a guilty conscience.
According to what I know,
- she suffered a lot while filming "Night Fishing." - That's true.
That's true.
- That is, first... - She is clever!
She is smart!
You also suffered a lot.
People think it they pay 100,000 won as congratulatory money,
you expect to get the same from them later.
But I said it as a passing comment while we were eating.
But right away, without even listening to the music,
he said, "I'll do it."
So, I teared up.
And I couldn't sleep for a few days.
- Because you were grateful? - Yes.
"Director, thank you so much!"
How I see it, even Director Park Chan-Wook...
"If I make Lee Jung Hyun's music video, it will air in China."
People will say, "Who on earth is this director?"
And he will be able to suddenly enter the Chinese continent.
Then... it is like that.
A freelancer in his 9th year, Kim Hyun Wook.
He said that he must receive 10 times more than the guarantee of Kim Sung Ju.
He made an unreasonable demand.
He is apparently the no. 1 unwelcome person in the advertising world.
Ooh! Ooh! I know by hearsay.
It doesn't make sense!
- Commercial fees... - That's not it.
- How much did you ask? - That's not it.
As soon as I quit the company in the second half of the year,
we had the London Olympics.
The commercial then...
The one commercial that came to me was
a commercial in which an announcer had to do that role.
But in it, other than me,
Girls' Generation and Wonbin were starring in it.
- It was a commercial for a electronics company. - Ah! L Company.
L Company! L Company!
I got the offer but it was for 3 months.
I had never ever once starred in a commercial.
Since they asked how much I get paid.
I looked at the conditions,
but it said that I can't shoot a commercial for the same type of electronics company.
There were many things like this. And another thing was...
that ceremonies were also prohibited.
- In another firm. - You can't do one for S Company.
You are prohibited to do one in the same industry.
You can't do anything during that period.
So, after calculating how much I would make in ceremonies,
I got a rough estimate.
So I said, "Shouldn't I get at least this much for 3 months?"
- Yes. - After that, I heard nothing from them.
Since it is already in the past, how much did you ask for the 3 months?
I didn't ask for a lot then.
One hundred million.
I'm dumbfounded!
1 hundred million in 3 months?!
I'm really dumbfounded!
Listen to me.
- Since I didn't know. - You knew too little!
I didn't know and on top of that...
You put everything into it.
The person in the middle...
- The person in the middle who arbitrates. - You knew too little.
He said that he also deducts a fee so...
- Agency fees? - Yes.
They asked how much I got paid.
They just left after that.
If you think differently, it means you earn 100 million won in 3 months.
If he is to earn 100 million in 3 months his body should break!
That is really!
Koo Ra Hyung!
Koo Ra Hyung... Are you really going to be like this?
So, I asked for an amount without knowing anything.
After awhile, there was no word from them.
I saw later that Kim Sung Ju starred in it.
Kim Sung Ju!
Kim Sung Ju starred in it.
Then...
After that, I regretted it.
Ah! I should have done that even without receiving anything.
If the brand is good.
Because if I had done that, I would have been offered another commercial.
It gets piled up and you can do even more ceremonies.
Your grade goes up.
Then I want to ask you,
do you think you are at a higher level than Kim Sung Ju?
No, I don't.
But...
when you are at a broadcasting company,
announcers shouldn't do ceremonies, right?
- Yes. - Because you are an employee, right?
Yes, it is a very sensitive area.
But, back then, you did ceremonies.
And you got caught.
And you got a reduction in your salary?
Or did you write a written apology?
Actually, if I say this,
the people at K Broadcasting Company,
they could get angry if they see this.
It is a sensitive area but while I was an announcer,
I did many ceremonies secretly.
Because...
So you are making a confession to the sunbaes, right?
Yes. First of all, I am sorry.
Actually, for me...
I earned more through the ceremonies than through my annual salary.
But other people don't do that, right?
That's true. Those people are very conscientious.
An honesty that you could never hate (?)
So you really did that and you are confessing it?
Because it is an important thing.
I show it earlier in a morning program.
If you do a ceremony while you are an announcer,
certain measures are taken.
As a measure, his salary got reduced,
but while he was coming out after receiving the measure,
he got a call about a ceremony,
and he made an appointment again after receiving the call.
Yes. That is not a rumor.
It is the truth.
I am confessing it now.
Since you got a reduction of salary, you should do even more.
Th... that is what I thought.
As it already happened!
I thought, "Reduce my salary, then I will earn that much."
I thought like that back then.
That was wrong thoughts!
Right before you were advised to resign,
- you left the company. - I was really sorry.
He left without thinking.
He didn't even know the commercial fees and that is why he asked for so much.
Normally, when you quit, you find out your commercial fees.
My objective for quitting was
not to do a lot of shows and ceremonies.
I didn't quit thinking about that.
You quit only thinking about doing commercials?
No, no!
I was thinking of the education industry...
You are making it sound grand again!
I wanted to be good at educational programs.
Kim Sung Kyoung, you were in a lot of commercials.
You did a lot of weighty ones.
Let's not be cheap!
Recently, you appeared frequently with Song Geum Shik.
Ah! That is...
He doesn't respond to what you say.
"I will go my way."
On top of that,
among the freelance announcers,
- Kim Sung Kyoung's total income is no. 1. - For commercials.
That is not true.
In the beginning,
right after I became a freelancer,
- I did many large ones. - That's right. You did a lot.
When I appeared on an entertainment program back then,
they called me the Commercial Queen in the announcer world.
- Which commercials did you make earlier? - In the beginning.
1% in Korea.
The automobile!
I did 1% in Korea.
Then, there was...
"Cook quickly, but taste slowly."
There was also something like this.
It's a little awkward.
We just asked what products they were,
you needn't have done that.
After that...
one of Kim Sung Kyoung sunbae's unique experiences was...
weren't you the ambassador of elevators?
Yes, I was the ambassador of elevators.
There is something like that?
Bong Tae Gyu looks up information personally.
But the reason was very unique.
During the interview, she said this.
It is because as an announcer, my image shows security.
I became the ambassador of elevators.
That was because...
It is the truth?
There are many accidents on escalators and elevators.
I need to ride them safely.
And I need to get on and off it safely.
In order to inform this precisely.
This...
Indeed! If someone like Kim Koo Ra says, "This is safe!"
You feel insecure.
Standing in one line on an escalator is not right.
- Standing in 2 lines is actually correct? - Standing in 2 lines is correct.
But, you see...
your rivals on the women side... Park Ji Yoon is clawing her way up.
There are few, right?
The ceremonies that I do are a little specialized.
Like?
Usually, the national anthem and the pledge of alliance comes on.
With a sense of security.
Do you know that the pledge of alliance has changed?
No! Do you know that the Pledge Alliance to the Flag has changed?
- Yes, I do! - It changed.
- Yes. - Really?
- It changed.
We memorize things like that.
For the honor of the nation and its people,
I swear an oath of loyalty to sacrifice my body and soul.
It was that.
"For the honor of a free and just Korea."
You butt in again!
Then what kind of ceremony do you usually do, Kim Hyun Wook?
I do formal ceremonies.
But also simultaneously funny.
So, I usually do Cheongwadae ceremonies. (The Blue House, the Korean presidential residence)
- Wedding ceremonies... - I did almost 500 weddings.
I did more than 500 weddings.
Next, it is Kim Hyung Joong's.
This is a rumor we heard directly from abroad.
Kim Hyun Joong!
He is a great Hallyu Star but...
In Japan.
He appears frequently in women's dress stores.
He was caught by Japanese fans.
According to the Japanese fans.
"Kim Hyun Joong is standing mesmerized in front of stockings."
"And he buys schoolgirls' uniforms."
Ooh! Ooh! I know by hearsay.
So, in Japan, there is talk of "Kim-sang, fetish."
Hallyu Prince, K.O.
- But... - This is weak!
But no matter even if we are trying to make this funny,
let's not touch on personal sexual tastes.
But he could be...
Isn't that manners?
He could be like that.
But according to the legitimate terminology,
being obsessed with objects is called fetish.
- But to that extent, it is modest. - But I think I can understand Kim Hyun Joong.
Why?
That is weirder!
- Being obsessed with objects? - She says she can understand!
- Why? Why? - That's weirder!
Actually...
Is it becoming conclusive?
About stockings and schoolgirls' uniforms?
Everybody likes Kim Hyun Joong.
If everybody likes you like that,
you don't lack much.
You don't have much affections for people,
- and you can start getting obsessed with objects. - Ah! With objects!
But the problem is that it is stockings.
- Women lingerie. - Girls' uniforms and stockings.
Girls' uniforms and stockings... so what?
- Right. - Alright then.
Kim Hyun Joong hasn't even opened his mouth, but we will end this here.
No!
Why are you like this?
- Our thoughts were short. - Because we can understand everything.
Since you said it with a tone you do the news,
it has more credibility.
Since she did it in a news tone,
I feel like it is the truth.
Since she said it in a news tone,
I feel like I became such a person.
About my identity.
I feel like my face should be blotted out by a camera blur.
I feel like that somehow.
When I go to Japan,
a place called Don Quixote.
Ah! The place that is open 24 hours!
They sell a lot of really fascinating things.
- There is a place that is open 24 hours. - Like Shinjuku?
- Right? - Yes, yes.
- There is nothing that isn't there. From luxury goods... - They have everything.
There, if you see... they have Iron Man or Batman costumes that I like.
They also have Spider Man costume.
But next to that place,
police outfits, nurse outfits,
stockings,
and whips...
- Of all places, the location - Was right next to it.
Do you know why it is like that?
You can be slightly embarrassed to buy the whip,
so you can buy it with that.
They did that so that you can hide it.
You could feel conscious buying a whip,
you think, "Let me also buy Batman."
You buy both the Batman outfit and the whip.
Like you are fighting off the villain.
It's stuck together so that you can look at it and buy both.
It is a gimmick.
- It is the shop's consideration. - Of course.
If that is there alone, who would go there?
Are you crazy?
They are trying to make you buy it together.
So. So, I was looking at it.
I came across some fans.
In front of the shop.
You must have felt really awkward.
But...
- I couldn't find any excuses to make. - Exactly.
Well...
My fans were very embarrassed of me.
Did your fans avoid you first?
That is... well...
They said, "Hyun-san."
But after seeing those clothes.
- The mannequins. - There were uniforms, whip, and stockings.
Their faces turned red like this.
And they looked at me as if I was weird.
So, I wanted to make some kind of excuse.
- If I make excuses, - You become pathetic.
I become even more pathetic.
So I just silently resigned myself.
Silently!
You didn't leave the place and continuously you were like this.
Yes. I kept being natural.
So, did you buy it since this happened anyway?
- I didn't buy it. - You didn't?
If you talk about unique outfits,
Lee Jung Hyun does costume play often.
She does it often.
Where do you buy those things?
I don't buy any, I make them all.
- You manufacture? - Really?
- All. - Then request for a uniform.
Request for a uniform.
- Since she is a celebrity, she will keep it a secret. - Should I make you one?
Request as you wish, according to your tastes.
A summer uniform, please.
More than the winter uniform, the summer uniform...
is prettier.
Misunderstanding prohibited, it is a joke...
Kim Hyun Joong...
This is a rumor that is circulating domestically.
- That he is naked at home. -What?
So... His manager came to wake Kim Hyun Joong up,
and he totally fainted.
- Yes, there is a rumor like this. - When I sleep,
I can't sleep with anything on.
- Oh! - Do you take everything off then?
I live on my own anyways.
- But they say that is good for your health. - Really good.
- For your health. - They say it's good for your health.
Why don't you at least put on a belt and go to sleep.
Why put on a belt?
Because the manager gets conscious.
Because the manager gets shocked.
You should at least put on a belt, why...
If you have a belt on, wouldn't he get more shocked?
Because it is too bare.
Socks! Socks!
- So your manager got shocked? - Yes, so...
Yes... my new manager...
After seeing me only a few times.
- He didn't know the fact that you were like that? - Yes.
He came to wake you up and?
He came in to wake me up and he got shocked.
But I was awake then.
Even I was...
I also felt weird,
so I stayed still.
If things get weird, he stays still and doesn't make excuses.
And then...
he covered me with a towel from the bathroom,
then he said, "Hyun Joong, get up."
When your eyes are already open.
Don't you cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep?
A blanket...
During summer it is hot.
I can't cover myself with it.
During summer, I just sleep on top of the blanket.
That's right. I do that, too.
I can't put on a blanket.
It's not good for your insides.
- You should at least cover your stomach. - Really?
Stop it!
Kim Sung Kyoung, wrap it up for us.
Stop it!
Really! Kim Hyun Wook!
Today, with that credible voice of yours,
won't you wrap it up for us in a credible tone?
The key to Kim Hyun Joong's health
is said to be sleeping naked.
But, he said that he didn't buy school girl uniforms.
How can you be so groundless?
Viewers who started watching from here,
what is this about uniforms?
The two can't seem to be linked.
It becomes like this.
But the news is supposed to make you curious about the following story.
Yes.
Kim Hyun Joong who normally sleeps naked for his health...
what about the schoolgirl uniforms...?
Are you going to keep fighting with me?
Stop it already!
La la la la la la la! What is it? What is it?
What is your one-liner?
La la la la la la la!
What is your one-liner? What is your one-liner?
Yes!
Kim Hyun Joong!
Now, you need to properly get strength from "The Power of a One-Liner."
But you shouldn't just get strength but...
Very forthrightly,
Tell us many examples.
You have to run out the clock interestingly.
Because.
Kim Hyun Wook sprayed curses at us while leaving.
I will watch and see if it turns out well without me!
His words can't turn out true!
- Okay! - Kim Hyun Joong!
There is definitely a time for studying.
This is really true.
It touches my heart more when Kim Hyun Joong says it because
- Kim Hyun Joong quit high school and... - Yes.
Because of music. And you took a school qualification examination?
No. I went back to school.
You went back to high school?
It was really difficult to pass the school qualification examination.
A realistic reason to return to school.
That is a good thing to say.
You have to pass a certain score on the school qualification examinations, right?
That is difficult.
That's right. We have a stereotype about the school qualification examination.
Because we think everybody will pass it.
And when someone says they took the school qualification examination,
one thinks it is very easy.
It is not true.
The clever kids who took the school qualification examination...
"How are you? Fine, thank you" doesn't come on the school qualification examination.
Things that even I don't know about comes on it.
Frequently...
Something like... "be+ing."
"Y" changes to "ied" for the past tense.
"As ~ as..."
Things like these don't come on it.
Oh! You studied a lot!
Up to that is my level and I was over confident in myself.
You had studied up to that!
I will pass it.
Even if I quit school confidently.
I went to the school qualification examination institute.
The moment I opened the book...
Ah! I must return back to school next year.
If I take this, it will take 10 years.
If I return to school, it will take 3 years.
- Then you didn't take the test, right? - No, I didn't.
I will rest a year.
I will learn about the world.
Since you already quit school.
But why does everyone know of him as having quit school?
- Right? - Ah! And you went back to school!
Since he didn't say this. That the school qualification examination is difficult.
We thought that he had obviously passed the school qualification examination.
And I thought he went to college earlier than others. But that wasn't true.
You didn't quit school then, right?
I returned to school. I went to school for a year longer.
When did you quit school? In 10th grade?
- No. In high school. - Which grade?
In 10th grade.
Back then, I was doing music.
I was in a band.
I was crazy into it.
Oh! But that happens when you do music.
When I become a father, the thing that I also want to teach is...
"Do what you can be crazy about." I want to teach that.
Because I was like that.
So, I really studied a lot about music.
At school.
Things like maths, science, social science.
Morals.
I especially thought that morals was unnecessary.
I thought that it was the right thing then.
But what I realize now...
I should have at least studied then.
I feel like that.
For example.
Wherever I go, if I had studied a bit.
I could have been humourous in English.
I could have done that in Japanese, too.
But if I see it now, I feel stuffy because there is nothing I can do.
And...
Among the things that everybody talks about,
when I feel most awkward is...
While having drinks.
You know, there are times when we talk about serious things.
When they say, "You know during the ear of the Three States."
Then I think, "What is the Three States?"
I am like that.
Even when we eat potatoes.
Kangwondo is famous for potatoes. Alpine agriculture.
- They say that? - You have conversations like that?
While drinking?
I thought of Kangwondo when thinking of potatoes. But alpine agriculture?
Is it a study meeting?
Really! Alpine agriculture?
Chinese cabbage from alpine agriculture is the tastiest!
Things like that. There are also things that I know.
Alpine agriculture is... I am not confident by myself about it.
Because I lack confidence in myself.
What I learned...
In Kangwondo, Pyeongchang County.
Using the cool temperature...
I know it on my own.
But since it is shallow knowledge,
I don't have the confidence to participate.
So I just stay quietly.
And another thing that I know. When you look from the plane...
The rivers in our country.
There is a lake in the shape of a cow's horn.
I only know it on my own.
That is Oxbow Lake. I learned about it.
- You know a lot. - Really.
Because I don't know it for sure,
I don't have the confidence.
But even the people who speak there, don't know very well themselves.
- That's true. - They are just spitting it out.
They just say things.
So I think that basic education is very important.
The thing that I am most confident about is singing and dancing.
I am only most confident during those times.
Below the stage, even when I see myself, I think I am very shabby.
- As you didn't learn things you should have at that age? - Yes.
I see you have a complex.
Instead, I think the thing that I learned correctly is...
I haven't done any bad things.
Well... after I quit school,
what I did for a year was to learn about the world.
I started to work.
I started working.
I said I won't receive money from mom and dad.
I will take care of myself.
So I started working.
When I got my first salary then, I thought I had become a real adult.
Because you worked,
we experienced properly for yourself about the world.
When I was young,
I think I really wanted to become an adult quickly.
But...
I regret it a lot.
So, to high school students now...
"Don't think about becoming an adult,
you should get a solid basic education."
"When you grow up, you can participate when you can."
"You can also have the sense to come out of a situation you shouldn't be involved in."
In things like Kangwondo potatoes.
But I also know that you went to college at a later age.
The major I would like to study later is...
I want to go to a major related to the sea.
- Something to do with the environment or...? - Yes.
Yes, the environment.
I do scuba diving as a hobby.
I am probably one of the people in Korea to get the license in a short period of time.
Really?
When you get engrossed in something...
Only when I lose myself in something, I am the type to engross myself in it like crazy.
No matter how difficult or lonely I feel,
I go to sea alone.
- And I fall into the sea. - Alone?
Yes.
I fall into the sea,
and I look at the sky sitting down in the sea with the respirator in my mouth.
Looking at the light of the sea falling down from the sun in the sky,
I feel that I am alive.
The reason why I shouldn't die and work hard is because of this!
The top of the sea is very pretty.
But inside the sea...
Can,
rice wine bottles,
fish hook,
fishing line that has been cut off.
Even dress shoes. I don't know why dress shoes are there.
Dress shoes, shoes...
There are a lot of these things, and I get stressed out.
- In my space... - One and only.
- The place that I like best. - Yes.
Why are these things dropped here?
I want to pick them up.
But one person can't pick up that quantity.
There is no end to it.
So I will study on my own.
What could be the method to make the sea clean?
Garbage!?
I will guard the sea!!
I wish my kid would worry about things like this.
Someone else's son is desirable...
Suddenly...
No, really. Saving the sea.
Yes. Really.
About things like that.
To be able to think about something like this itself is...
- Of course. - It isn't easy.
I also do scuba diving.
For me, sushi passes by.
- Not cans. - Things to eat.
- Money passes back and forth. - It is the same for me.
It is the same for me.
500,000 won.
1,000,000 won. 1,000,000 won!
- According to market prices. - A natural sea-bream, this huge.
I think it can't be helped as humans.
But I think we need to control ourselves.
Even though you know.
In Philippines,
one of the reasons why the sea is pretty is because they don't let you do scuba diving with gloves on.
Because if people put on gloves,
they don't get scared. They can touch things easily.
If they put on gloves,
they will try to touch turtles and so forth.
If you think about it, it is scary to catch a turtle with bare hands.
- That is why they say the sea in Philippines is pretty. - Really?
I would like to do those things quickly.
Environmental organizations...
He knows a lot!
We don't know about this.
We don't know that you can't wear gloves in Philippines.
I will say this somewhere.
I want to study a lot about things like that.
One day, with people like Jung Dong Nam...
He goes into the sea and picks up this much garbage.
They don't you join him?
Jung Dong Nam?
Jung Dong Nam, you know... yes.
He is the first to go and do social services when something happens. Really.
You know a lot!
So... in the future...
When I stop being a singer or actor,
A little... I don't want to take the lead though.
Anyway, I lived dirtily.
Radical self-reflection.
Why suddenly?
What is this now?
I have also thrown cans into the sea.
Ah! That!
Because I feel guilty,
I don't want to take the lead and say, "Let's not do this!"
But really, if an influential celebrity like Kim Hyun Joong
says that we must protect the marine ecosystem of the sea,
it will have a huge propagation.
- True! - Wow!
The Minister of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
- was it, Yoon Jin Sook? - Yes.
I think you will get a call from him soon.
- Really. - I think you will get a call from Jung Dong Nam first.
He will ask you to go in with him.
It is insufficient just by myself.
Wanting to study the sea because he loves it. The power of the one-liner.
There is a time to study.
Kim Sung Kyoung! Your one-liner!
"Son! Can you be responsible for your mom's later years?"
This is your one-liner?
I ask my son! "Son, do you have the confidence to take care of mom when she gets old?"
You have one son now?
Yes.
Which grade is he in now?
He is in 9th grade now.
- 9th grade. - Yes.
- If he is in the 9th grade, he is all grown up now. - He is.
A very larger portion of what I earn now is really spent on his tuition fees.
That's right.
So I am hardly doing any investments.
And my personal wealth is not that huge.
If I keep supporting him,
and at some point, I will be in a situation in which I can't work anymore.
Then... I don't have anything.
And all my money went into his tuition fees.
"What do I do then?" I had thoughts like that.
But his tuition fees are a lot more expensive than other kids his age.
- Is he abroad? - Yes, he is abroad.
He is in Singapore, right?
He is in Singapore.
But till now, I am very satisfied.
I don't regret the money I spent on him.
- Because the child is doing well. - Yes, he is doing well.
But till when is he going to take it for granted that I will support him?
And if I also take it as obvious.
But if at a certain point, if the situation changes even a little bit,
I had a feeling that this could be very problematic.
So, I told him this.
"Hey! I keep investing like this."
"At the end, after mom has spent her entire money."
"You have finished graduating,
but mom gave up on her retirement savings."
"I invested in you, taking upon a certain risk."
"shouldn't I get back something as much as my investments?"
For the money mom invested in you...
You speak too much about this!
You speak a lot about this to your son.
- I tell him frankly. - It is good to give him motivation.
So, about that.
Think about the process, the goal, and the output for the input.
She is using a lot of sophisticated terminologies, but eventually it is about this!
I used this much for you.
This much should come back, shouldn't it?
I used this much for you but if you earn just this much.
Will there be anything that comes back to me?
- So, I will also be uncomfortable... - But if you keep cornering him too much...
Your son will do social service later on.
What would you like him to be?
Exactly! I am curious.
Uuh...
I haven't told him clearly what to do.
But sending him to study abroad,
I wanted him to have wide vision.
The larger world.
Look here.
Lee Jung Hyun and Kim Hyun Joong have already gone beyond Asia.
And they are working at a large scale.
We expect him to make this much money?
Rather than a normal job, you want him to become a global leader.
And rule the world.
Become the CEO of a multinational enterprise?
Something like this?
As long as my money is invested.
Ah! Seriously!
How did you put in that!
So, during this summer vacations,
to find the most meaning or value in really studying at this school,
what you need to do,
what goals you must make,
what plans you must have.
I threw that question to him.
I think it is something like this.
After investing in a business,
she hears the business information through her son,
and she is now getting the interim report.
And another thing is,
if you pour water into a jar for growing bean sprouts,
the water comes out but the bean sprouts grow.
He will be able to catch at least one thing.
Through that process.
Then the answer he gave last year,
this year's answer,
and next year's answer...
Even if one thing gets added on,
and if his thoughts become a little bit more deep,
I think that this alone is an achievement.
She says a lot of good things at the end.
No burst of spirits. Educational ending.
Kim Hyun Joong, what kind of parent do you want to become later?
My life is mine.
Your life is yours.
I spend the money that I earn.
I will not give everything to you.
I think that even I am very old-fashioned.
"I should give everything to my kids." Thinking like that is...
Since I was also born, I should also be happy.
And the kid should also be happy. I wish for that.
Daddy also has the right to be happy.
Since I was also born, I will also use some.
As an individual.
Of course.
Previous parents said that they will give the kids everything.
I really didn't like that from when I was a kid.
Even I was born, I should use some, too.
He will grow up on his own if I do a certain amount for him.
Your son must have had his share of difficulties living alone abroad.
But, at around this point...
To your child...
Your child has also matured to a certain extent.
And you can talk to him.
Getting a good father for your child...
Do you thoughts of getting married again?
I do think of it. But when it will be...
I wanted to ask that. That is why I beat around the bushed!
Oh! Kim Koo Ra! I feel relieved!
You have thoughts of getting remarried.
I have never once told him that his mom's later years could be marriage.
He thinks with his head that his mom could marry.
But it seems that he can't accept it in his heart yet.
This a thought that came to me now,
I think someone like Kim Hyun Wook is good.
What do you think of me?
I think he is really nice.
Wait a moment, I don't know if this is will aired or not.
I... I am shouldn't say this!
No, it's okay.
If it's weird, we needn't air it.
When I look at people, thinking of the person as a prospective marriage partner,
I... firstly,
"Could I use the same bed with this man?"
That is obvious.
This will be aired.
You brought up a really good topic of discussion.
That is obvious.
It's such a good topic. Why?
If you get rid of this, there is nothing to use.
- Aren't all people like that? - Kim Hyun Wook.
Kim Hyun Wook can't be such a person!
I can sit next to Kim Hyun Wook and talk to him.
Only up to there.
Do I have to... Let's not face each other~
You are meeting someone with those feelings, right?
He is younger than me.
He is younger!
- He is a lot younger, right? - How much younger?
Not a lot. 3 years.
3 years is no big deal.
And he has never been married.
So...
Doesn't his side object a lot then?
That is his opinion.
Has he met your son?
Yes.
What does your son say?
He likes him.
Yes.
They are very friendly now.
They are very friendly.
When he has time during vacations, they eat together. He does that.
I am considering marriage with the person I am dating now.
I am considering it.
But I don't get married by myself.
You also need money.
Again money.
She is the female Kim Koo Ra.
It is all about this, what else.
The level of discussion today was...
it wasn't talk you hear on an entertainment program.
Since Kim Hyun Wook isn't here, we can have serious talk like this.
Thank you... You had a good time. If Kim Hyun Wook is next to you,
he would have kept talking.
Seriously! The radio saved our program.
Next Week. Incarnation.
Incarnation. Chatter Special.
It is like 3 middle aged women are here.
He is the Bundang branch manager.
There is a rumor that you are an ennui couple.
Did you hear it from me?
It is more than what you imagined.
He does this, "Fantastic for you."
A mystery husband.
He has a lot of money.
For my husband, first thing is looks.
The second and the third things are also looks.
Can't we stop here?
Seriously!
I have a habit while talking.
I leave this here first before talking.
Come on Hyung! Come on!
You... do you really want to bring it on?
Hey! Come here!
You will die!
Check for yourself the Legends of Chatter next week!
