Hwasin: Controller of the Heart
Jung Woong In, SISTAR, Lee Yoo Bi!
'I'll kill you if you say anything. I'll kill the person who heard this, too.'
Why are you looking at me?
'Jong Suk, please stop.'
[The secret about his tussle with Jong Suk?!]
- Lee Jong Suk is a great actor. - It's too late.
[Bad boy on the rise?! Jung Woong In]
It's totally my first time. I feel so nervous.
[Birth of an entertainer? Who says she's too cool?!]
[First time on a variety show! Lee Yoo Bi]
- I really thought it was pretty. - Don't say that.
He did a lot of childish jokes.
- It's okay for me to be here, right? - No, it's not.
[Honest and Confident Top Idol Stars Soyou Hyorin]
- And like this. - Oh, while keeping the heels off the ground?
- Use your back -- - Wait a minute. What's wrong with you?
[Top Talk Show with Top Guests Begins Now!]
[Hwasin]
- Two-faced talk show on Tuesdays nights. - Hwasin!
Two-faced talk show, yes.
Today's Hwasin is with top guests part two.
To start, he plays the 'it' villain character in 'I Hear Your Voice.'
Jung Woong In!
He looks like a bad guy when he just smiles, right?
The 'it' villain.
And also...
They dominate every music chart. They have the top sales record, SISTAR!
[Soyou Hyorin]
Hyorin and Soyou.
The top rookie who's garnering serious attention in the year 2013.
Lee Yoo Bi!
Nice to meet you.
[New Secrets About Them!]
I've introduced at the top celebrities but
'I don't think I am there yet...' if you think that please tell us.
Oh, oh, come on.
They are modest, too.
But Jung Woong In was the only one holding his position.
I am so popular these days.
[I Hear the Voice of My Fans...(?)]
Before the filming, the writers told us that
he feels quite happy because he is very popular.
True, that's true.
You didn't call me when you did a special episode for 'I Hear Your Voice', right?
- But today -- - We didn't know how it would turn out.
People are very mysterious, right?
- You can just feel your popularity, right? - Yes...
To be honest, I feel it.
Yet I do feel somewhat sorry for the leading actor and actress
because they work night and day for five to six days a week
but I do maybe three to four scenes per episode?
- That's all I -- - Your extreme sense of presence?
Kind of like a scene stealer.
I do feel sorry about that. But still...
But I think it's possible because I have the skills.
Wow, unbelievable!
I know because I am an actor, too.
It's hard for an actor to say, 'I have skills,' you know.
I thought he might back-paddle a bit but --
It's your first TV drama since 'Three Friends' in 2000, right?
You had to go back that far?
- I don't have any other information -- - So harsh.
When you look at Woong In's overall career as an actor
he rises to the top and the nation gets excited about him.
Then he bottoms out and goes back up.
It's not a smooth ride.
It's straight up and straight down.
He was in a TV drama called Kuk Hee, working with Kim Hye Soo.
Ah, Kuk Hee.
- He was huge. - Ah, yes, yes.
That's when I was planning to do a new sitcom called 'Three Friends.'
I persuaded Woong In to be in it with me.
Dong Yup was the main character in it.
- Shin Dong Yup, Park Sang Myun and -- - Jung Woong In.
That was the plan
but Shin Dong Yup, because of an incident...
[Yeah, that's what happened...]
Is that what happened?
Yoon Da Hoon was supposed to play
a supporting role who was my co-worker.
When Dong Yup couldn't do it, I recommended Da Hoon.
It's because...
He strongly recommended Woong In
because he became so popular after Kuk Hee.
But what happened is... a few days before the first day I had to...
- That's just life. - That's right.
He became even more popular after Three Friends and now --
People think of 'Three Friends' and 'My Boss, My Hero' when they see me.
Oh, that's right.
On a cable TV channel, you can see me
and Jung Jun Ho singing Tiger Butterfly.
Because people have seen me being funny in that movie
that's how people used to think of me but that's changed quite a bit now.
What will you do for the next five years now?
I hope you keep the momentum going so that they
won't say that you go up and down every five years.
- Thanks. - That's my wish.
- Seriously, there isn't anyone -- - No one can compete against you.
- There is no -- - You are the real Beyonce, I think.
- Oh... - You went beyond Beyonce.
And she really does smell like Beyonce, too.
When I heard her voice in the stand-by room
she has a deep and husky voice.
I developed a huge desire to listen to their song at that moment.
- I love her voice. - They are the best.
Look at you, you are among beautiful women...
- It's okay for me to be here, right? - Yes.
[But you already are...]
I was quite shocked by it.
Hyorin says she is a big fan of Gu Ra on whatever TV show she goes on.
Are you two close enough to keep in touch?
When she was a rookie, she was a guest on my show often.
And also... she talked positively of me when I wasn't working.
She sent a video message to Gu Ra when he wasn't working.
She's someone I like.
You know what's so funny? Hyorin came to say hi to us, right?
What was funny was that Hyorin said, 'How are you?'
to Dong Yup, Hee Sun and Tae Gyu
but to Gu Ra she hit his shoulder and said, 'Gu Ra!'
Never seen that before.
Can you do that to Sul Woon Do, as well?
'Woon Do, your wig looks nice today!' you know?
What do you mean your wig looks nice?
- Can you do that to Jong Shin? - No.
I behave differently in front of people that I like and I don't.
- What can you do with people you like? - No, I mean in music business.
If she were close friends with Sul Woon Do
'Hi!' she would greet him like this?
- She greets in a wild way? - Only to people close to her.
If none of our members know that person...
- I totally shut down. - 'Hi...' and becomes very quiet.
Woong In is a really cool guy.
You won't see him often but when you do
hit his shoulder and say hi.
Please hit my head.
- You remember 'Three Friends', right? - Yes.
How old were you?
I was very young. He did a lot of childish jokes.
- You think I am a Stinking Moe? - Yeah, yeah, like this!
- 'What time is it?' - 'It's Stephen Dirty.'
Yes, yes.
Yeah, like that.
- I like jokes like that so much! - He's the same age as me.
- This is the first time you met Hee Sun? - Yes.
I am very grateful that she came to greet us.
I was so shocked.
I thought she was a walking doll.
I wanted to say this all along.
The only songs I sing at karaoke bars are yours.
Do you even have the skills for that?
I... lower down about five keys...
And also we have the top rookie here.
Her mother is Kyun Mi Ri.
She played the younger sister of Song Joong Ki in a show
as well as Lee Seung Gi's first love in 'Gu Family Book.'
[Lee Seung Gi's first love in 'Gu Family Book!']
Kang Chi...
Nowadays just the mention of her name make it a hot issue.
Lee Yoo Bi!
Is this the first time as a talk show guest?
- It's totally my first time. - Oh...
- On any other shows -- - No, I haven't.
Really? We should initiate you.
- And how? - I feel very nervous...
The writers told me not to talk about a few things about her.
Yes...
[This is how Mrs. Lee's harsh initiation ceremony(?)]
Lee Yoo Bi is --
Yoo Bi, don't you feel really flustered?
And she would really do it.
[Just kidding to help you feel relaxed]
Lee Yoo Bi was the most searched word in the nation recently.
What was so absurd is
it was the rumor about her break up, rather than about her dating someone.
It was about her break up, not about her dating someone.
- So fascinating... - How?
He knows everything.
I am so fascinated that he knows everything
about what's happening in Gangnam.
- They call me Duk Gyu. - He has an antenna.
I have a lot of friends who stays home with not too much to do.
What about Yoo Bi?
Rumors about you dating usually comes first.
If you validate that rumor, then there will be rumors
that you broke up if you broke up.
But rumors about her break up right away.
Nobody knows about it but there were rumors about me dating.
- There was? - When I wasn't well-known.
It did make news when you weren't well-known.
It was very detailed in saying that I was dating him for a year.
- But none of it is true. - You weren't dating him?
He is one of my long time friends.
He is just one of them.
The rumor said we've been going out about a year.
I mean you didn't have any feelings for him?
Pardon?
Woong In, that was a very good question.
You're very tenacious, very good.
'We are now...'
Please play the bad guy today.
He is one of my friends and one of the close ones?
- You worked with him in a TV drama. - Yes, yes...
Ah, did you? Yes, I did.
- Look at her. - No, no, I watched it.
Thanks to you, Gu Won became very well-known.
Yes, thanks to you, Yoo Bi, Gu Won was
the most searched word for a long time.
His life has been saved.
That's it. That's what I mean.
I think because there will be many rumors about you like this one
I would like you to learn how to handle it well.
Yes, yes, thank you.
How to handle it is. Rather than, 'No, no, that's not true'
and staying quiet, be somewhat honest.
- Be cool about it? - Yes, of course.
- That looks better on you. - Okay, I understand.
'I'll call you, Gu Won,' she could say that.
Should I call him?
- How about a video message? - Please do.
Mm... I enjoyed Fist of Legend very much. You are doing well?
Take care...
Only, only... if you dub sad music with it.
I enjoyed Fist of Legend...
You are doing well?
Take care.
[Thanks for hearty laughters]
Thank you.
Won't they say they are getting back together?
[Lee Yoo Bi's Variety Show Initiation: Complete]
For every guest, out of so many rumors about them
we have selected the five most juicy ones.
It's Rumors Number Five.
As time goes on, there will be more juicier rumors.
- The first rumor! - Yes...
Jung Woong In said this, 'I have skills.'
I think this rumor supports what he was saying.
'Jung Woon In was casted for I Hear Your Voice'
two days before its first day of shooting.'
I heard it through the grapevine.
- It's not a rumor, it's true. - That means someone bailed out on them.
Because Woong In is such a good character actor
most people would imagine the director
should give him the script at least a month before.
- But two days? - Before I was in Fist of Legend.
It was a minor role but I think it was enough
to show my ability to play a villain.
I had the thirst to play a villain
because so many people thought I was funny
because I was in Three Friends and My Boss, My Hero.
I had a huge thirst to play a different role
so that my children can feel proud of me.
- Any actor would feel that way. Right, Yoo Bi? - Yes...
- Yes, and... - [Scared me...]
And that's when Director Kang Woo Suk told me
'You should play a villain to balance people's image of you.'
'Play a villain this year,' he instructed me.
I told my manager to find me a role as the villain.
As I mentioned, because most directors think of me as a comic actor
most directors rejected me.
I was waiting for an opportunity and I gave up.
'Let's take it easy and go on camping with my family,' I thought.
- A good father. - Yes, yes.
After I gave up, my manager called me when we were roasting pork belly.
'The first script reading is in two days. It's a show titled I Hear Your Voice.'
'You play a villain... a totally groundless character.'
- Because he kills people for no reason? - He kills people for no reason.
'It's a character that stays alive in ten episodes out of twenty.'
'He dies after ten episodes.'
'Let's do it,' I agreed to do it.
I went to the first script reading.
The writers were there, so I told them.
'I heard this character lives until the tenth episode...'
'I'll do my best to stay until the end of the show.'
That means you have to kill more people, right?
It's not that. I meant to say what I can do as an actor.
- They were laughing so hard about it. - Yes...
It was supposed to last until the tenth episode.
The director said, 'You should stay in the story until the fourteenth'
'episode and it's possible because you play the character.'
The director said the story will go into detail
as to why my character killed Soo Ha's dad.
'Just know that you stay in until the fourteenth episode.'
After we started filming and began to get high viewer ratings
the writer called me.
'The director and I agreed that your character
should be in the story until the end.'
Wow, that's amazing.
[Woong In's story is like a TV drama in itself!]
Since you can play a villain so well only two days after getting the script
you must be born evil.
This is how realistic his acting is.
There are countless parodies of his character.
They are becoming buzzwords.
If you could, could you... do it for us?
'I'll kill you if you say anything. I'll kill the person who heard you, too.'
'Kid... I think these ink stained blockheads are on my side.'
'If I am declared not guilty'
'it will be you and that chick's turn.'
[Chilling]
Why are you looking at me?
Why do you look at me?
- 'It's.... it's...' - I was so scared.
Why look at me?
It can be so rude to ask actors to recite their lines.
And when I asked him, he sat there without saying anything.
I thought, 'Oh man! I shouldn't have...'
- Might seem rude. - He debuted earlier than you too.
I felt frightened.
I've done many shows with a lot of actors and
they usually have hard time remembering their lines.
- True. - Right?
I heard it's been parodied many times.
- Yes, so many parodies. - Many people parody it.
What it means to get parodies is
parodies are something that they do on their own because they want to.
There is this one.
'I'll kill you if SBS doesn't give Jung Woong In an award.'
[Min Jun Kuk(43): Wanted 'I'll kill you if SBS doesn't give Jung Woong In an award.']
And there is another one.
'I'll kill those who were there, too.'
But you play a villain.
As Dong Yup said, you go straight up and straight down.
When you were so popular, you did many TV commercials, right?
Is there a TV commercial that you like to do as a villain?
No, there isn't.
- Maybe hamburger? - 'I'll kill you if you don't eat this.'
You could do that.
It works for everything.
'I'll kill you if you don't use this phone.'
Phones.
Hamburger and laundry detergent.
'I'll kill you if you don't use this laundry detergent.'
How about everything?
He said hamburger because
there is a scene where he is eating fast food with Lee Jong Suk.
It's such a popular scene.
I bought a shrimp burger because I didn't know which one you like.
Eat.
[I'll kill you if you don't eat this hamburger...(?)]
Help me!
- Could be unique. - That's why I said hamburger.
- Did you get an offer? - We are negotiating.
- Oh, really? - I think they are talking about doing one.
Should be a good one.
I heard there is a behind the scenes with the scene in a fast food restaurant?
It's a scene where my character provokes Soo Ha
to assault me so that he will be in a fix.
But... when I looked at him in the eyes, he was quite intense.
Like, 'Don't just look at me, say it!' he was so intense.
I could tell when I hit my hand when I was holding a cup.
I could tell he was going to grab me by the collar real hard.
Can you imagine how strong someone in his twenties might be?
Can't control it either.
But I like that because you need to get into it
to get it done in one take. 'Go for it!'
There were inexperienced actors who did something like that while doing skits.
When we aren't even in the shot --
- That's what I mean to say. - Some people do that.
He grabbed my collar and took me down onto the couch.
He sweats a lot, you know?
When he was here, he sweat so much, as much as Cho Hyun Gi.
He had this many tissues.
Look at him sweat.
Going crazy.
I've never seen anyone who sweats as much as Cho Hyung Gi does while filming.
Look at the tissues he piled up.
He piled up that much?
His sweat fell on me. He was so into it, so his saliva was...
Saliva spattering and sweat falling on me, I was covered with them.
His sweat fell from here and here.
[Splattering]
I'll think I wasn't born and protect her.
He did the same thing about six times.
He grabbed my collar in the same way. I felt like my flesh was going to rip.
- Because of the intensity? - Yes.
When Woong In dodged away from him, he wasn't dodging a punch
but dodging sweats and stuff like that.
That too and it was so realistic.
By the sixth time, it was so painful.
- 'Jong Suk, it's close up, no hands in the shot.' - 'Okay.'
[With all his soul and heart]
'Please stop it!'
Even more painful. It hurt even more.
He grabbed me even harder that time.
- Same thing with sweats and saliva. - Oh poor thing.
In that scene, I smiled a little with a patty in my mouth.
That's the take they chose.
[This is the scene]
The reason why I smiled was...
'Jong Suk, stop it.'
'What are you doing?' It worked because I smiled with a vein bulging out.
After that, there were --
- Some more of that. - About two more times.
There was a scene where he chokes my neck like this.
Shut up! Shut up!
[Gasp...]
[Jong... Jong Suk... please take it easy...]
'Let's do it in one,' I ask for that.
We did about three takes and every time he used the same force.
Even my nickname was Neck Jun Kuk and Blood Jun Kuk.
The next one is where I am getting on a bus while I am tied up.
It's a scene where he runs at me and grabs me by the collar.
You know how tall he is?
He ran toward me at full speed.
I was even more scared than for the first one.
'How will he attack me this time?'
Jumping at you?
Because grabs you like this after running toward you.
He was to hit me and grab me.
[Running At Full Speed]
[Mommy...]
Why did you it? Why!
- Lee Jong Suk is... - Yes?
- a great actor. - He'll be a...
In Gu Family Book, Lee Yoo Bi, your character
ran the gauntlet of Lee Seung Jae's character.
From your perspective, who's the worse villain
Jung Woong In or Lee Seung Jae?
Say it's Lee Seung Jae...
Lee Seung Jae is someone, I think Jung Woong In is as well
someone broad-minded, positive and kind.
I was shocked in this one scene we were in together
It's a scene where he touches me like this without saying anything.
As a side note, Lee Seung Jae's character kills Lee Yoo Bi's dad in the story
and he forces her to spend her first night with him.
- The worst bastard in the world. - Yes.
Min Jun Kuk don't go that far, right?
[Min Jun Kuk doesn't go that far...!]
How could you kill her dad and and do that with her?
Min Jun Kuk is better.
And then, and then?
That was our first time in a scene together.
I was so nervous, so I told myself, 'Let's do this well. Let's do this well.'
But he kept playfully teasing me.
Because they start filming, I feel nervous, so I wait like this.
But he looks and does this to me.
He wants me to relax.
He did that for me but I was worried.
'I might not be in character.'
'What do I do? I don't know let's just do this,' and filming started.
As soon as it started, his eyes changed.
- He touched me. It was like... - Yeah, go ahead.
When he touches me
I thought he will do it like this, of course.
When I was practicing by myself, I touched myself like this.
- He didn't do it like this but -- - What did he do?
He did it like this.
[Like this?]
I am sorry!
[Jung Woong In's reaction is a work of art...]
And but... but...
You'll feel it once you do it yourself
- I was really -- - I did feel it.
Because I was so shocked
I found myself just hating it, and feeling disgusted.
'He is so amazing.'
The conclusion is that he is the worst bastard in the world.
By the way, I knew Lee Yoo Bi before she was an actress.
She and I were in a sitcom together for a little while.
When I met her there, she was pretty, right?
Her profile said she was majoring in vocal music at a prestigious university.
'She must be a very good singer,' I thought.
'But her acting is...'
So how did she pass the audition?
- But she had the 'it' factor -- - Look, but that's too ambiguous.
Show us what you showed me.
- What did she do? - Was it a special talent?
- She brought an electric fan... - He has a good memory.
I remember she brought an electric fan --
- A big one? - Just a regular sized one.
She plugged it in and put it on high.
The way singers dance while their hairs flapping in the air.
Like that, she was impersonating someone and taking a scene from a TV commercial.
I was totally lost for words.
'How did she come up with that?'
No...
- What were you doing? - Show us, you can do it here.
Do you have an electric fan? Yes, we do.
- Electric fans are everywhere. - No, I mean a big one.
'Electric fans are everywhere...'
- There is nothing to it. - No, there isn't.
There isn't much to it. Don't expect too much, dear viewers.
Seriously...
When they asked me, 'What can you do?'
Rather than saying 'I don't', I wanted to do something that idol musicians did.
That's why I did this.
[It's SISTAR's hit song Give it to me!]
- Use the fan -- - Move in front of it so that your hair will flap.
[Wind, more wind]
Give back the electric fan.
Give back the fan please.
[Dragging]
Do a performance with the electric fan on.
Like how you dance with a huge fan on.
They know how to use wind, yes.
- Even though she's wearing kill heels. - She's already tall.
- Is the wind strong enough? - Try and move closer to it.
Oh, that's it, that's it. She's pretty tall.
Please play a song.
- Hold it up. - Tae Gyu, you hold it up for her.
- I'll hold it up like this. - Right, right, right.
- This work, right? Like this. - Good, good, good.
[Wow]
[Yoo Bi... this is how you dance with the wind]
Oh, wow, good.
[SISTAR makes even Gu Ra dance(?)]
Here, here, you've got to use your hair.
Lee Yoo Bi, do it again.
You were getting wind only from here, right?
No, from here and
like this.
Using the wind.
You're already there, hold it up for her.
You should do it well.
Long hair should make it look better.
That's it.
[Li... like this?]
[A big laugh like this with a single fan]
Let's move onto rumors about Lee Yoo Bi. Yes.
Lee Yoo Bi's mother is actress Kyun Mi Ri as everyone knows.
The rumor says, 'Lee Yoo Bi became a star overnight thanks to her mother.'
People could think that about you.
Isn't a matter of course that your mother would help you?
True, yes, true.
Did your mother get involved in the auditioning process too?
Actually, it was my dream ever since I was little to become an actress.
But... the people around me said
'Of course you should be an actress like your mother.'
'Be an actress like your mother.'
That was something that I hated to hear the most.
In my junior and high school days, I heard so many people
saying that I am her daughter.
I see.
I thought, 'I shouldn't become a celebrity,' because of that.
In what situations did they say that to you?
For example, if I did well on my exams.
'Kyun Mi Ri got her hands on the exams beforehand --'
Oh my.
- Went that far? - 'My teacher gave me the exam papers days before.'
- What does that have to do with anything? - Heard that in junior high.
I was so shocked because of that.
- 'Ear Ri?' - I was shocked by that.
That one kind of makes sense.
Mi Ri got the papers 'Ear Ri.'
Got it early?
I became mentally stronger from that point on.
- And what else? - And also, for example
they said my skin is kind of white because my mom bathes me in milk everyday.
You can say she used 1,000 'miri-liter' of milk.
Mom, what do I do? Mom.
That's why it happened? Because of your mom's name is Mi Ri.
That's why it happened. Don't worry about it because the kids were just joking.
I was very stressed about it and...
I noticed that if I pretend nothing was happening the rumors got worse.
- It does. - So I...
I heard my other classmates talking about it again.
I deliberately spoke in a loud tone of voice.
'What? My name got her hands on the exam papers beforehand?'
'Hey, is Kyun Mi Ri the President?' I told someone.
- With a loud tone of voice? - Yes.
'My mom did that? She must be the President.'
'My mom is the best. My mom is like God,' I said.
My classmates were giggling at that.
Talking to a makeup artist, 'Hi, how are you?'
'By the way, your necklace looks so pretty.
Where did you buy your necklace?' I asked her.
- That's being nice. - That's good.
- That's nice. - That was a little...
Other support staff may think that, I'm a rookie...
- Too nosy? - Too rude?
That I wasn't afraid and was not even worried.
'Yeah, why would you be nervous since you have your mom.'
'You wouldn't be because you have your mom,' she told me.
I thought, 'I don't know about this.'
You heard, 'She's like that because of her mom,' right?
Yes, yes, yes.
- Then it's that person's problem. - It's that person who was wrong.
For example, 'You look tired. What did you do last night?'
it's weird to here this from a stranger.
Not, 'What's with that necklace?'
'Sit straight, do you want to get fired?' if you said that maybe.
'I like that necklace. Give it to me right now,' if you said that --
What was that? Bullies say that.
'My mom will pay you. Hand it to me now,' if you said this.
'You know who my mom is?' like this?
She wasn't saying that. She was praising her necklace.
Wait...
Have you ever done something like that?
When someone talks badly about me behind my back
and even if that person does that everyday
it's less than ten minutes a day talking about me, right?
I think if I feel miserable and small because of that ten minutes
I think it's only my loss.
Oh, very wise...
Even if others talk badly of me --
For example, if I were playing a role in a TV drama
'She's so ugly. She's shouldn't play that role,' even if they say this
only ten minutes?
'Isn't she horrible,' not more than ten minutes.
If I think of it that way, I feel a little more at ease.
- True. - She's a positive person.
That's a good mindset.
- I believe that -- - And it is really important.
My mom is someone who's very stingy and objective.
My mom...
There might be nothing to praise about.
That could be the case.
Oh, really? Yes, and...
It was very difficult to act in Gu Family Book
because I had to express a lot of emotions, so I always felt heavy.
Mom looked at me go through and didn't say anything until the show was over.
- Didn't say anything. - Oh, really?
How about coaching you?
Didn't she read the script with you?
I did when I asked but she didn't ask me first.
Can you imagine how frustrating she felt?
She probably felt frustrated watching my acting.
But she said nothing because she didn't want me to feel in-confident, I think.
After the show was done, 'A lot of people call me about you,' she said.
- 'Why?' I asked. - 'They say they enjoyed your performance.'
'I am so happy you are my daughter,' she told me.
['I am so happy you are my daughter...']
Oh my gosh.
How did you feel when you heard that?
My heart was so full.
I also felt a sense of responsibility as well.
I understand my mom... probably felt more nervous than I was.
She didn't show any of that.
She didn't intervene even through the hard times.
I appreciate that so much.
I went to see my child do a performance with other five year olds.
I felt so nervous watching that.
Just a kindergarten play.
When it was my child's turn
Worried she might... forget her part.
I silently sang along her part in case she forgets her lines.
'L! Love. E,' I did that for her.
Can you imagine watching your child on TV?
A lot of people call my mom to say
'What's wrong with your son?'
'I am too scared to sleep because of your son.'
'What happened to his old characters?'
Elders usually think, 'Why? Why is he playing that character?' you know?
But my mom feels very proud of me.
Someone she forgot about called her and said
'Your son is so famous. I didn't watch the show.'
Makes you feel proud.
Everyone has moments like that.
This rumor is about SISTAR.
A rumor about Hyorin.
- This is mine? - Yes.
This could be touchy.
This could be a touchy rumor.
'Hyorin became a commercial model for a soju (liquor) brand'
'but she got fired just after six months because sales didn't go up.'
I heard it through the grapevine.
Oh my gosh.
Did you... really get fired?
I don't think of it as being fired.
I thought of it as them not extending the contract.
It could be seen as being fired or not.
Didn't you sign the contract for six months?
Yes, it was for six months.
- Just didn't extend it. - The reason why they say it is
Not just Hyorin, Hyuna from 4Minute
Goo Hara from Kara and signed all three of them.
It received tremendous attention.
They were the replacement models for Lee Hyo Ri.
I think Lee Hyo Ri was the model for them for about five years.
- Yes, yes, five years. - Yes.
And because of that, since they casted three amazing stars, people thought
'They should last at least a year,' they thought but lasted only six months.
This is what I thought. Whether it's six months or a year
since they signed three of us
I thought they should keep at least one person.
Oh, at least one. You thought it was you?
Because I really enjoy drinking soju...
The sponsors liked me so much.
'Ah, I got this. If I do well, I'll stay as the model longer than six months.'
I was secretly hoping for that.
But the contract ended.
Not only that, I found out about it while reading news articles.
Not, 'The contract ended.'
- 'Replaced?' - 'She's been replaced.'
Who's the replacement?
Go Jun Hee and Jo In Sung.
I tried hard to increase their sales.
- Sales... - You know, she used to drink another brand.
But after she became their model, she drank their soju.
- She should do that. - Of course.
- I increased their sales so much. - You mean personally?
I drank quite a few of them.
- She converted -- - Everyone around me.
They brought the proof.
They ripped out her photo and said, 'I drank this last night.'
That's very recommendable.
Do you still drink that brand of soju or a different one?
- I feel bitter but I stayed with it. - You feel bitter...
Because I am faithful.
- It's sad... - Isn't it? I wanted to keep modeling for them.
Her voice sounds like when you are hung over.
- The voice is -- - How you sound the morning after?
The voice you have the morning after.
- In the morning, right? - Yeah.
There are these posters at restaurants and pubs.
- I saw many Goo Hara's posters. - Right? I am not there, right?
I once asked the restaurant owner
- 'Why isn't mine there?' - Oh, really?
He didn't say why she didn't put my poster up.
He said that they sent all three and they picked the one they like.
So confident.
- Makes you mad. - No, I was just curious.
Because you are their model.
- Many of them chose Goo Hara. - Hyuna, as well.
They didn't choose me!
I am sorry to talk about this considering how you feel, Hyorin.
Lee Yoo Bi recently became the model for another soju brand.
- Ah, really? - Seriously?
Congratulations.
They went for the opposite brand image.
- Yes, I... - She must be happy.
I am curious... How old are you?
- I am twenty four born in 1990. - Ah...
Older than you?
- She is. - She's older, right?
- We are the same age. - Ah, really?
- How come you look so young? - Do I?
I am staying faithful and increasing your sales. Don't forget about me.
- So cool. - Yes.
'Soyou is named 'Soyou' because she is acquisitive.'
She is a cash mogul because she saved the most amount of money among idols.
'When Soyou goes to her bank, the branch manager greets her.'
'She is a VVVIP at a bank in Shinwoldong,' they say.
- Seriously? - You didn't know that either, Hyorin?
- So mean, you didn't even tell me. - No, it's because...
Hyorin became so serious.
'What's the matter with this girl?'
- But I do feel disappointed. - No, Hyorin, wait a minute.
- You shouldn't think I betrayed you. - Why?
We are so different because
let's say each of us received one million won of free money.
What would you do?
'I got one million won. I will buy you guys something delicious.'
[Say hi and bye to one million won...(?)]
When she gets one million won, she spends it.
'I got one million won. Let's go eat. I'll buy this and that.'
Just like me.
'I don't have any money. I spent it all,' she's like this.
But if I get one million won, I take out half of it and save it no matter what.
- Half of it? - No matter what.
- I save it up every time. - So, it's not just a rumor?
Not like a VVVIP, 'Welcome, Ma'am,' they don't do that but I do save quite a bit.
You probably don't know about it well.
The VVVIPs aren't the ones depositing ten or twenty billion wons
but those who took out huge loans.
People with a lot of debt.
- That's how banks make money. - That's how they make money.
When someone who took out huge loans come
they treat them like VVVIPs because they hope you
might pay them back or take out a loan to do that.
They don't treat you like that if you save a lot of money.
When I was young, there were times we were struggling financially.
I've done a lot of part time jobs since junior high school.
She is an honest woman.
I've always worked for my allowance since eighth grade.
What kind of part time jobs?
I got licensed as a beautician in eighth grade.
I worked at a beauty parlor.
- In eighth grade? - Yes.
Why not.
I got certified and worked part time and...
- I worked everywhere except for the gas station. - Ah, really?
I've been a server, too. And...
I heard she is a very good nail artist.
I think I like to do thing with my hands.
Attending hairdressing school, they were also skin care and nail art classes.
I observed it.
Should I say a 'visual learner?' I learn well by observing.
I think we need to learn how to do things like that early in our age.
Like obtaining a certified copy of one's family register.
I think it's so important to know how to fill out a loan application.
I started working when I was twenty years old.
I had no idea how to do things like that until I was 28.
- That's what I mean. - Like handling bank account.
I think you are amazing because I spent it all.
- You should learn from this. - Thank you. I'll remember that.
When Hyorin says something
I know she's younger than me but --
- You listen carefully, right? - I listen carefully.
She has that inner-strength.
Every member of SISTAR gets their individual income, right?
Bora did a TV commercial for women’s iron supplement.
She and I did it together.
How is your individual income?
- I get paid for featuring in other songs. - Ah, really?
Hyorin makes the most money when it comes down to it.
- Rest of us make about the same. - Ah, really?
Soyou makes money using her musical talent.
She's the cream of the crop. She smiles when we talk about money.
[Full of smiles as we talk about money(?)]
Can you tell us how many banks accounts and investments you have?
I can't share that much details but
what I can say is that rather than putting them all in one --
Split it up?
- Installment savings? - Yes... and...
I am not like Miss Cheap. I spend money when I need to.
You don't know the course of your career as an idol, right?
After the contract expires, you might continue to sing.
You could become an actor or take other paths but
I am saving money because the future is uncertain.
It's not easy for someone at your age to save the half of your income.
It's nearly impossible for a 23 year old.
Even now I feel the impulse to buy new items when I see them.
Don't you want to buy this and that?
She and I are like...
- Not interested. - We aren't too interested.
We are very interested in fashion
but we don't know much about fine articles.
What was your biggest expenditure in your life?
Hyorin, myself and Bora bought houses for...
- Your parents. - We combined our money.
Such good daughters.
The most potent rumor of the day is...
the one regarding Jung Woong In.
Your ability to play a terrifying killer had to come from somewhere.
'Jung Woon In! He is actually even more vicious than the character he plays.'
'Because he tormented younger students so much'
'Because he tormented Shin Dong Yup so much
Shin Dong Yup ran away from the student group.'
- How did he torment him? - Ah, yes...
The time has finally come.
That's why you were nervous when I wanted us to go say hi.
[And there is another here...]
It's time to show who Jung Woong In really is.
Jung Woong In was known as the terrifying senior student
at Seoul Institute of Arts.
I corporeally punished Ahn Jae Wook --
- Ahn Jae Woo said that on air. - There are rumors like that.
Seoul Institute of Arts in 89?
To talk about an episode that involves Dong Yup
I was the president of a student circle.
What kind of circle?
It was called Piranha.
It was a group where we developed physical fitness for stage performances.
We taught acrobatic, ballet and kung fu.
It was a circle where we learn what's related to musical.
Why did you join them? It doesn't fit you at all.
- It's useless for you. - Just listen to his story.
I was accepted in 1989 and there were new students in 1990.
We got many new members.
An intense thing you do on the first day is stretching.
You have to be in a split position against the wall with two people on each leg.
And each person pushes each leg.
- On the first day? - Yes, yes.
- Beginners? - There are people who push down their knees.
- Oh! - We did that for a few days.
Shin Dong Yup was in that class.
- Why did you join the circle? - I wasn't there to join them.
I was like, 'What is this circle about? How about that circle?'
Because you were curious?
I was peeping in.
Jae Woo said, 'We need to get physically fit.'
You know, sweating... is the thing I hate most.
I just don't like working out so hard.
'What's this one about,' and I got in.
On the first day, they have me sit against the wall.
They stretched my legs.
My nickname is '90 Degrees Club' because I can't split more than 90 degrees.
- Never seen anyone like him. - Seriously, until my legs were 180 degrees.
People were screaming everywhere.
I told them, 'It hurts. Stop, stop,' but they kept going.
Both of my legs touched the walls.
- 180 degrees? - They were.
- They touched the wall -- - He's like, 'They touched the wall.'
Both of my legs touched the walls and sprang back to the center.
I couldn't walk.
This is what happened the next morning.
It was so horrifying.
Inside my legs, starting from right below the reproductive organ.
- He has good memory. - They were so
black all the way down here because everything was ruptured.
Really... I mean seriously.
He was walking awkwardly into school.
In an awkward way.
'Dong Yup, come here. Where have you been?'
'Woong In, come here for a bit,' and he took me to a bathroom.
He took his pant down and showed it to me.
Both of his legs were completely bruised.
- Both legs. - I was afraid he might die.
'Woong In, you see this, right? I won't go to the classes anymore.'
- Can you do it now? - No, what are you talking about?
If he makes me do it now, I'll challenge him to a fight.
Dong Yup, what kind of senior student was Woong In, really?
- Mm... - Be honest.
Jung Woong In was...
I don't think Dong Yup knew much about me
because Dong Yup became a star while he was in school.
This is what I remember about Dong Yup. First, when we stretched his legs.
Second, there was a pub that we went often in front of our school
- Ah... - They let you put it on the tap, right?
- For students? - Everyone was allowed to charge.
He's the class of 90 and he paid for every undergrad of 90.
- It's... - I put also put quite a bit on my tap, too.
- Not yours? - He didn't pay for yours?
There was quite a bit on my charge account.
I heard he paid for every undergrad who started in 90.
How I remember Dong Yup is, 'Wow, he's so cool.'
You did the right thing.
Ahn Jae Wook debuted earlier than you did, right?
Jae Wook debuted as an actor.
I am curious. Then, what happens?
- To the hierarchy? - To the hierarchy.
Do you stay with the old hierarchy?
Just because you become successful, you don't say
'Mr. Jung, nice to meet you,' you don't do that.
- There are a few who do that. - I used to call Dong Yup 'Mr. Shin.'
He's about the same age as I am, so we're friends.
With Jung Woong In, we use the terms of respect.
Based on what we are talking about
Jung Woong In, Shin Dong Yup and Ahn Jae Wook
who do you think is the most successful?
I personally think it's Dong Yup.
Dong Yup debuted the earliest but
- He's very wise -- - Nobody else like him.
I think he's maintaining his success because he's very wise.
I think it's Jung Woong In.
How come?
He has three daughters and also
other than his acting career
he haven't got into a fix in other areas of his life.
If you say it that way...
[Power of One-liner]
Jung Woong In dancing like a middle aged man.
[What's Jung Woong In's one-liner?]
'If I think of my family, there isn't anything I can't do.'
['There isn't anything I can't do if I think of my family.']
Every father can relate.
Not only Woong In, Dong Yup and Gu Ra can relate to it.
I couldn't relate to it when I was young but...
- I am talking about before I was married. - Oh, I see.
I was living with my widowed mother.
But now, I can talk about it happily.
But back then
I think it was the most challenging time of my life.
It was about the year 2003 or 2004.
I was in a movie titled Circle Kang Soo Yeon which didn't do well.
- A thriller, a thriller? - Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Because of the dispute between my agency and the investor
I got into a situation where I had to give back my payment.
I owned a very cool car at the time.
Someone stole my car registration and sold it to a private loaner.
- Who? - A friend of mine.
- That's a separate thing? - It's a separate thing.
It never rains it pours.
He took it to a private loaner.
He borrowed money using my car as the collateral.
It exploded six months later.
They called me when I was sleeping.
'You didn't make payments.'
- 'What payments?' I asked. - 'You haven't paid the interests,' they said.
'Interest for what?' I asked.
'We have your car registration,' they said.
- 'Which car registration?' - 'Isn't your license plate this one?'
My friend loaned about ten million won using my car.
The interest became exponentially bigger.
The interests rates...
I got such an absurd phone call.
- The situation was the worse I could imagine. - It happened to you?
In terms of the dispute between my agency and the investor...
The president of the investor, because I didn't give back my payment
- Sued you? - Through a collection agency.
they sent people to put red stickers on my house.
Seized?
Provisional, provisional seizure.
Bailiffs came to put red stickers on things.
Two of the events were happening at once.
At the time...
I experienced the disadvantage of being a celebrity.
I had to pay about four million won every month.
Not the principal, just the interest?
That was the situation.
I think I called about sixty percentage of contacts on my phone.
There was nobody who lent me money.
'Has my life been a waste?' I thought to myself.
Finally I thought I am only one who can handle this.
I went to the four-story building where the private loaner has the office.
I remember that.
I visited them.
Got on my knees... Everyone knew who I was.
- You were famous... - Yes, yes, everyone knew about me.
I agreed to let them take the fees for my acting services.
I agreed to pay them back.
In exchange for getting my car back.
On my way down to taking my car back, it was parked in the parking lot.
My car was a golden color.
I cried on the way to my car.
So, I thought...
'At least for my mother... let's never forget the meaning of these tears.'
'I am so fortunate that something like this happened before I got married.'
I realized how important are things like the car registration paper
authentication certificate of my seal, an original register.
'I took the full responsibility.'
'There is nothing I can't do for my family.'
'I take the full responsibility even if I have to get on my knees.'
'Nobody lent me money.'
I understand because it wasn't a small sum of money in the first place.
The reason how you went through is your widowed mother?
Yes, I can't describe what she went through...
She aged a lot then.
Wouldn't it be terrifying?
Bailiffs came to our house.
They put the red stickers in the back of the things.
- Do you know about it? - Putting it behind the TV.
They are considerate that way but --
They put it in the front when it's too small.
Yeah, that's right.
I went through that because of the lawsuit.
- Whether they put it in the front or not. - What's the difference?
It's so traumatic just the fact they are in your house.
I hear they come to your house when you aren't in the house nowadays.
How do they get in?
They come along with a witness.
They bring along a witness to prove that they aren't stealing anything.
They can unlock the door by accompanying a police.
- They hire a locksmith. - To someone else's house?
They do that.
- Is it lawful? - It's lawful.
In TV dramas, they skip the part where they bring along a locksmith.
There are family members in the house.
'What you doing here? You take the kids inside.'
And they invade your house.
No one's home --
I heard that they leave one sticker saying which items they are seizing.
I had this ring tone that I still remember to this day.
- Their phone call is unique. - Different.
The ring tone was the fear itself for me.
- What was the ring tone? - It was the one for... Cannon.
Yeah, like that, like that.
- When they call you? - Used a classy one.
You mean... me?
When you get a voice message from them...
It makes you feel... just...
- I even thought of asking Kang Soo Yeon for money. - Ah...
When you are in a tough situation, you do think like that.
- I felt so hopeless. - Yes...
There was someone waiting for me until I came back on in the parking lot.
There was someone like that too.
Fear... It was total fear.
How did you pay off the debt?
He was the president of the company my sister works for.
We weren't even close friends.
When he heard about my situation from my sister
'Is that so? Don't worry. Don't worry too much about it,' he told her.
he lent me the money to pay the debt off. So, I still remember that.
None of the people I called on my phone helped even a little.
- But someone totally unexpected did -- - You run into things in life.
- You never know. - I learned a lot that time.
That's what I mean.
Hee Sun, what if you two were close friends
'Hee Sun, you know I won't run away. Could you lend me the money I need?'
Could you lent him money?
I don't know about lending money but
I rather just give some money.
Because I don't want lose our friendship.
If he asked me to lend him ten million won
I would just give him five million won.
Could you... lend me 200 million wons...
Since she just gives you half the money, the half the money.
If your debt is about 100 million won, then ask for 200 million won.
- Ask for 400 million won. - Since you give half the amount.
There is an upper limit.
There are situations where you need to give up your pride, right?
'It's not time to be proud.'
And there are times when you feel stronger because of your family, right?
Yes, in my case...
I have three daughters, right?
A seven year old, a five year old and a fourteen month old.
Ah... oh my gosh.
I can hear my kids being noisy in the living-room.
One of them plays piano. One of them builds blocks out of papers.
And the youngest one tumbles it down.
And she builds it back again.
And she build it back and can't find one of them.
'Where is it?' and the youngest one is chewing on it.
You know what I am mean?
'She took my thing. It's missing. My chair is missing.'
I can hear them fight.
It's the happiest noise in the world.
When I hear that...
I get up smiling while listening to that noise.
That's my happiest moment.
- He is very nurturing. - Yeah...
It's very nurturing to go camping together.
I went camping and I tried to set up a tent.
- Even the instructions didn't help me. - Setting it up?
I wanted to rip the tent because it was so hard.
- There are pop-up tents. - Too small.
- For one person. - You can get in trouble for using that.
But when you are camping...
[You forgot? This is an entertainment jungle...]
- Where do you go camping? - I go where water is, like valleys.
Because mosquitoes aren't there.
Valleys have clear water so that kids can play in it.
I want them to play in nature.
There are so many kids who play with their phones while camping.
It's because they don't know what to do.
You go where water is during the summer. I let them play.
Letting them play.
There is nothing better than playing in nature.
His wife is good-hearted.
Even if I do something like that my wife just hates it.
She always wants to stay at hotels.
When did we start sleeping at hotels?
She just hates things like that.
She only likes to sleep and eat at hotels.
We take care of the kids, do the laundry and pick up after everyone at home.
We go camping and we need to set up a tent for shelter.
Don't husbands usually do things like that?
No, you need someone to help you because it's hard to do it alone.
When the kids are young, moms usually are the only helpers.
It's that we just want cook where everything is already set up.
[Whose one-line will it be this time?]
What's your one-liner?
Check your backbones when you get up in the morning.
Oh... your backbones?
Are backbones important?
There is a difference between the ideal body shapes for men and women.
I think women should look more beautiful from the behind than from the front.
What do you mean by backbones?
From your back to the beginning of your hips.
- The erector muscle. - The erector muscle?
When you watch their performances on stage
they suddenly turn their backs.
They want you to look at their backs.
Because they feel confident about their backbones?
There are many moves where they suddenly turn their backs.
[How about our backbones?]
I am sure there are backbones that look pretty.
Tell us how to get pretty backbones.
I tend to do a lot of stretching.
That's really important.
Let's say I am watching TV sitting down.
That's the correct posture.
Sitting with your back straight.
Ah, straighten it up.
You stretch the outer muscles of your quads like this.
Didn't you have them do this back then?
No, we didn't.
You put your feet together.
You hold your weight up with your toes.
But not this much.
Just this much.
It makes you tense up your inner-thighs.
In this position, you put your arms out.
Bend down like this.
While keeping your heels off?
Yes, you bend like this.
90 degrees.
You bend this much.
You come back up like this.
You need to maintain your footing like this.
How many times?
You stay in that position for about ten seconds.
After taking a short break, you repeat.
- Does it tighten your hips? - Totally tightens your hips.
I couldn't help but look at them.
There is also...
Because you use the muscles that you don't usually use...
I think it's good idea try it when you are watching TV.
It's best to do it bare-feet.
You lift your heels.
You don't have to do it now.
Don't do it when you are drunk, you might break your nose.
I don't work well with yoga because I am not so flexible.
She's wearing those training pants, right?
Her legs looks just like a female trainer at a fitness club I go to.
They look so tight and healthy.
When ladies lift up something heavy, we need gloves.
How could she lift up something that heavy?
- Because callus might form. - Ah...
- Should be about 37 kg. - You mean it's as heavy as I am?
Come on, seriously.
[Mrs. Kim, I think you're exaggerating a little...]
They're always women like her.
You widen your stand shoulder width apart.
It helps you develop the erector muscles of the spine.
It helps you develop a better back line.
It's important to push out your hips a little.
- You grab it. - Yes.
- Really embarrassing. - No, no, no.
You lift it, right?
Then... it's important to push out your hips a little.
If you look at the stance from the side --
Hold it and from this stance
You bring it lower using your back.
When you lift it up, you tighten.
Bringing it back up.
You push it out a little and bring it lower.
Again.
You bring it up. What's important when you do bring it up is
when you bring it up, you need to tighten the back of your shoulders.
After doing a few sets of this, you use dumbbells.
- You could use water bottles at home? - Yes, you could definitely do that.
There are exercise bands you can use at home.
- You can use water bottles too. - Soyu, please give us a second.
Tae Gyu.
No, he can lift it but it's hard to do it in the correct position.
Of course, he will lift it up.
He can't lift it.
You are underestimating Tae Gyu so much.
- I used to do work out. - I know.
But I don't use heavy weights.
She has the excellent posture.
- Hold your hand a littler closer. - I see...
- Like this? - Poor guy.
Put your thumbs behind.
[Oh.]
Oh, I am... seriously.
- Push my hips out? - Yes.
- Good? - Yes.
Bend your legs a little more.
Your legs...
Tae Gyu is shaking.
While you are bending your necks
Might hurt his back...
You really can hurt your back.
Your back should be --
Hold it. You guys talk so much.
One thing at a time.
Think about it, coaching from here and there.
- What's wrong with you? - Okay. Okay, okay. I'll shut my mouth.
Okay... it's because we don't want you to get hurt.
- It's like watching a skit. - Like this and
- She told you to bend your knees. - I'll do it from here.
Oh, man, I don't think I can do this.
- Why is this so heavy? - This is...
[Next week on Hwasin]
Lee Jung Hyun, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Sung Kyung, Kim Hyun Wook.
Bought school uniforms for girls.
Girls' school uniform, right?
I would like to live in the ocean.
Who are you really?
The number of my fan club in China is 300,000.
She gets paid as much as Zhang Ziyi, 2.9 billion won.
So easy to get.
X-files about stars --
I thought the X-files were true.
So honest.
I don't know this will air or not.
This should air no problem.
I replied, 'No.'
I'm at loss for words.
- She's popular in China? - She's very popular in China.
Or I wouldn't be Kim Hee Sun.
[A Winner Takes All Match Between Rivals Comes To You Next Week!]
