Happy to be together on "Happy Together"!
Hello and welcome.
Today's guests, with their own unique charms,
are here for our Charming Men Special.
- "Charming Men"? / - Yes.
- You mean them? / - Some are very good...
- They aren't charmed by us instead? / - Not today.
She read the title aloud as soon as she got the script.
At Wonhui and Byeongjae's name she said, "No way."
You should know better.
People have their own style.
I don't see what their charms are.
Wonhui hasn't had a drop to drink today.
His face is just red because he's got sunburn.
I'm saying this in case our viewers misunderstand.
You're a bit too red. Were you being careless?
He didn't get a tan by a pool.
It wasn't voluntary.
I got a tan because I worked outside.
You have a cute side when you do things like this.
I apologize.
- What was that? / - This means a heart.
Oh, I see. I thought you were asking for a raise.
- This is new. / - It's a trend.
It's been a trend for a while already.
- I apologize. / - It has been for a few years.
We should find out how these men make women adore them.
- Carbon Copies, introduce them. / - Finally.
We're back at last.
- It's been a while. / - You're right.
He captivates women with his simple charm.
Bang, bang, bang.
He's the sweet country bumpkin, Son Hojun.
Bang, bang, bang.
He makes women fall for him with his beastly charm.
Bang, bang, bang.
He's the 45-year-old beast, Lim Wonhui.
Women love this man for his puppy-like smile.
Bang, bang, bang.
He's your ideal pet, Kim Dongwook.
- Bang, bang. / - It's outdated.
Listen up, you little guy .
You're ugly with a beard, and 162 cm short,
but you have captivated me.
Bang, bang, bang.
He's the man you want to carry around, Yu Byeongjae.
Yu Byeongjae.
Last, he's the man who charms women with his cooking.
Bang, bang, bang.
He's sexiest when he cooks, it's Kim Poong.
Kim Poong is sexiest when he cooks,
- but I'd like to add something to that. / - What?
The man Myungsoo doesn't know.
- He doesn't know Kim Poong? / - He doesn't.
Poong, have you met Myungsoo before?
Yes, we once had a few drinks together.
Then we met again on some radio show.
- As a guest? / - Yes, I was a guest.
- Were you without glasses or beard? / - The same face.
He said that to me in the dressing room, so I told him
"He didn't know you then and still doesn't."
He's a total stranger.
- I apologize. / - Don't worry about it.
They're supposed to be men captivating women's hearts.
It's working.
Share with us your best physical features.
- Their own? / - Yes.
- It's my eyes. / - Your eyes?
- If I must pick one. / - Your eyes.
Zoom in on his eyes.
Left or right?
- Are you a surgeon? / - That's too close.
Are you an optometrist?
He said his eyes are his best features.
- I almost saw his pupils. / - I'm trying to film them.
Be very still.
You just have to be still.
They're pretty.
I'm trying to make you look good.
They're like Puss in Boots' eyes.
Yes, slightly. They're slightly like those.
Anyone's eyes are pretty that close up.
All right.
Wonhui, what's your best feature?
It's my eyebrows.
- They're dark. / - They're seagull-shaped brows.
Aren't you going too close?
You might scare the viewers.
I know that you think highly of your overall looks.
- Really? / - I'll scan your face.
- My nostrils? / - Your whole face.
- He's proud of his looks. / - Not his nose.
He's proud of his looks.
Dongwook, what's your best feature?
It's my Adam's apple.
Your Adam's apple?
- It really sticks out. / - I see why you're so proud.
- Swallow a few times. / - Move it about.
That looks nice.
- That's it. / - You have nice lymph nodes.
- Byeongjae? / - It's my eyes.
Your eyes? They aren't that pretty.
They're too bloodshot.
They look so innocent.
His eyes are too bloodshot.
They're nice and large.
Can you make them look sad?
- You have a nice beard. / - Sad eyes.
- His beard? / - His beard.
This is what we like.
Jaeseok, don't film the roots.
Keep your distance. That's it.
- Poong, what's yours? / - It's my nose.
- Your nose? / - Go with that.
He looks like a cartoon character.
You have a very high nose.
Myungsoo, yours?
Close your eyes, my eyes.
- Sorry but... / - Get my pretty scalp.
he looks like a komodo dragon.
"Pretty scalp"?
The crew...
Their reaction is...
Do you think yours are cleaner?
All our guests are known to make the ladies swoon,
- but they have another thing in common. / - What?
They're afraid of appearing on variety shows.
Who, them?
Hojun, you're afraid of making appearances on shows?
It's more like I don't know what to do.
- You seem to manage. / - You're fine now.
The minute I came in I saw "Be funny to stay live".
Take a look.
Our writers are all giggling.
- Whenever you speak. / - What's there to worry about?
Keep your mouth open.
- Wonhui is afraid of variety shows? / - That's a lie.
I'd say I agree.
I'm better at it now.
I feel better as a guest.
- I hosted "I'm A Man" with Jaeseok. / - Last year.
I tried hosting a show, and it was so hard.
What was the worst part?
I'm supposed to join in the conversation,
but by mistake I dared to interrupt Jaeseok.
After that I gathered my courage to try again,
and I kept doing it again.
I felt so bad.
My job was to support Jaeseok.
You did really well.
You didn't mean to interrupt him.
Did you learn anything?
- I learned so much. / - Did you?
The very talented Jang Dongmin, Heo Kyeonghwan,
and later on Kim Jedong joined the team.
Just listening to the witty banter up close
helped me a lot.
It didn't help me at the time, but later on...
So it helped you afterwards.
It did in many ways.
You're on a lot of variety shows now.
You're on the army one.
Reality shows are slightly easier.
I'm not that good at shows filmed in studios.
I see.
He shot the army reality show while
- Yes. / - we were filming a movie.
Each time he got back,
he'd give us a lecture about variety shows.
- He gave you a lecture? / - What?
- What did you teach him? / - What did I say?
"It's all about how you react."
Reactions are important.
Why talk about variety shows on a film set?
You should focus on serious acting.
I wanted to tell them everything I could.
You say you don't like appearing on variety shows,
but Poong asked us to overreact to his jokes.
It came out during the pre-taping interview.
I was a bit reluctant to come on "Happy Together".
I'm not that good on one-off variety shows.
It's hard being a one-off guest.
Like Wonhui said, it's hard to join the conversation.
I'm quite timid, and I find it hard to cut in.
- Do you? / - I'm like that, so I was hesitant.
But the writers reacted to me so perfectly.
"You're so right, I understand."
I couldn't stop talking.
I thought I'd be able to talk if you overreacted.
They were trained.
- They're faking it. / - It's emotional labor.
They're employees who have to perform emotional labor.
- They are. / - They're funny. After all that...
"Oh, really? Do you have anything else?"
- That's right. / - That's right.
- That's right. / - Don't they say that?
- Byeongjae was a writer, too. / - What do you think?
What is it like?
- That's the hardest part. / - What is?
It's difficult laughing at jokes.
It's worse when it's not funny.
Not all celebrities are funny.
"Not all celebrities are funny."
That's true.
Who were you forced to laugh for?
- Must I name someone? / - Of course.
- It was Jo Youngnam. / - Jo Youngnam.
- That's rough. / - I understand.
- How do we wrap this up? / - He has this aura.
Jo Youngnam...
He does share a lot of hilarious stories,
but there are some borings ones.
- He's older. / - He's elderly.
The three of you shot a movie together last year.
- It finally got released. / - That's why they're here.
What a rush.
You won't believe it, but we're friends.
- Your characters are friends? / - You, three?
- We're high school friends. / - It's ridiculous.
After all the time you spent together,
why does Wonhui still feel awkward around you?
He's very timid, but so am I.
- So is he. / - I see.
We were cast as friends so when we were filming,
we fooled around like friends do.
Once we had lunch together before a shoot.
After the shoot, we had nothing to say to each other.
I said, "Did you have lunch?"
Right after eating together?
Whether a camera is rolling or not makes a difference?
We became friends towards the end.
By the time I was able to open up, filming was over.
Now you're back to trying to open up.
On our set this time.
Dongwook, did the director ask you to reduce muscles?
I got the role around the time I was busy working out.
He told me to get rid of my muscles.
- Did it not suit your role? / - He didn't think so.
I didn't exercise while we filmed for three months.
My muscles turned soft like tofu.
You have the figure of a bodybuilder on break.
I can't even say that.
He's like a gym owners who's almost quit working out
because he's busy running the gym.
He used to work out a lot, but not anymore.
All that talk stressed me out.
I started working out three days ago.
Don't you still have some muscles left?
Gosh, he does.
- Most of them are gone though. / - Really?
He was so bulked up at first.
- If you look at his face... / - He looks like a baby.
But you like to work out.
Byeongjae, why did you scan him?
- I like to work out, too. / - Do you really?
Dongwook's body suits Byeongjae's face.
- That's a better match. / - I see what you mean.
Byeongjae, did you hear some people
whisper about Hojun?
- They weren't whispering. / - What did they say?
- I heard it through others. / - What?
- Are you sure I can say this? / - Yes, you can.
"How can someone be so ignorant?"
(Ig-foolish)
They meant he's naïve.
- Ignorant? / - Forget it.
You heard people say he's ignorant.
- I meant... / - We get it.
We get what you mean, but just repeat what you heard.
- What you heard. / - Be honest.
"I've never seen someone so thoughtless."
That's even worse.
I didn't say that.
Byeongjae just heard people say that about you.
"How can you be so ignorant?"
He looks naive, but that's really him. It's not faked.
Why do people say you're ignorant?
He's not surprised.
I get that a lot.
Do people say you're ignorant?
I should think before I speak on TV.
If I don't know something, I say so.
But then, I don't know much in real life, so...
It's fine. He admits that.
You must be very naive.
Were you shocked when you did a show with Byeongjae?
Yes, because he said I'm older.
I thought he was way older than me.
You thought he was older?
I'm way younger.
- Way younger? / - I'm 28.
Are you lying?
What's wrong, Poong?
I expected him to be younger than me,
but only by a couple of years.
Is he much younger?
I'm 38.
You look young for your age.
- Nice skin, too. / - Poong looks so young.
Byeongjae, you joined YG Entertainment.
Congratulations.
When we met earlier today, I asked how he felt.
- He said it couldn't be better. / - Did he?
- He's so proud of himself. / - I'm not.
Are you a full-time entertainer?
No, that's not why they hired me.
I'm still a writer. I develop content for them.
- How did they reach out to you? / - Very suddenly.
To be honest I always was...
Can I say this? I had a thing for YG.
- A fan. / - A fan.
- I mean a huge fan. / - A huge fan.
I was a huge fan.
The guy I'd worked with for years adored YG, too.
He'd listen to Big Bang's songs and rave about them.
You did a parody of "Loser".
We talked about how great their music videos were.
Then they called me, and I got over-excited.
I stopped the car.
- Did you? / - Stop the car?
I read an article that said by joining YG you'd lost
- your identity as a B-rate comedian. / - That's true.
It can't be helped.
It feels like I'm lying to say I'm not doing so well.
The better you get, the more recognition you deserve.
When you came here today, did you drive
or did your manager drive you here?
I came with my manager,
- but he's... / - He's your friend.
My friend joined YG as my manager.
He's that friend.
- That's him? / - Your manager friend.
His outfits...
- It's YG's style. / - He cares about what he wears.
He gets up three hours before we're due.
Why does a manager care so much?
- He looks like a celebrity. / - He's dressed up.
- He's never on time because of that. / - Is he not?
Even though he wakes up three hours earlier?
Yesterday he told me to wait in the car.
I asked why, and he said he wanted to get botox.
What does he need botox shots for?
Are you driving Akdong Musician's old car?
Apparently, yes. No one told me, though.
We were given a van.
It had Akdong Musician decals on the window.
I tried to take them off, but they wouldn't come off.
- Try the muscle relaxant. / - Used cars are fine.
Nail polish remover works.
Insect repellent works wonders.
Poong, you're so knowledgeable.
You live in a 1,780-square foot apartment.
I haven't seen it yet.
- That's awesome. / - They bought you an apartment?
Not really.
- Is it a lease? / - They didn't buy it for me.
YG is great. I love YG.
- Why? / - I want to join YG.
I'm just a fan of YG.
- What about now? / - Who are you signed with?
My current contract is about to expire.
I'm a fan of YG.
When exactly does it expire?
It ends at the end of this year.
That's months away.
It's not that long.
It's only six months. Six months passes in a blink.
As soon as summer is over, you're there.
Negotiations should begin in the fall.
I'll wait for your call.
You're preparing for the next step in your career.
A lot of good things happened to you this year.
You were on "Unlimited Challenge".
- As a possible member. / - A candidate.
- Which of the two do you prefer? / - Be honest.
I haven't watched "Infinite Challenge" since then.
Do you prefer YG?
- YG works for him. / - Humans are fickle.
That's only natural.
- He could be too busy to watch TV. / - Yes.
Bosses of large agencies usually have a plan set out.
They say things like, "This is what I'll do for you."
I joined a week or two ago.
Everything I know I read in the papers.
I never got to meet YG himself.
- He's a busy man. / - We haven't met.
YG is busy.
I walk around Hongdae wondering if we'll cross paths.
- Just in case you meet up? / - Just in case.
Are you a writer?
I think it's the trend to multitask.
He's very talented.
Movie stars appear on variety shows now.
Poong is truly multi-talented.
- He's a webtoon artist. / - I thought he was a chef.
Me, too.
What exactly are you? You do cook a lot on TV.
Are you a chef or what?
I'm originally a webtoon artist,
but my hobby took over my original job.
- I mean... / - Cooking?
I became known for my cooking.
I realized how powerful the media is.
Did you learn to cook or develop your own recipes?
There are some famous foodie bloggers.
I gather all their recipes of one food.
Then I check every recipe they used.
Some parts are bound to overlap.
Anything that they all use or do, I take note of.
The rest I consider up to me.
That is when I get creative and add my own flair.
So it does take some logic and study.
That's how you cook.
I thought you just tossed anything in, but you don't.
Most of the chefs I know lived and studied abroad
and gained a lot of experience.
Isn't that how you become a chef?
Them, yes.
I'm not a chef.
Aren't you?
I don't have a license.
What's going on, then?
What are you, then?
I've been saying that I'm a webtoon artist.
Did you draw anything we'd know?
When I was younger, I did "Pathetic Family".
- "Pathetic Family" was your work? / - Yes, it was.
Now I'm working on "History of Losers".
"History of Losers".
I drew Jaeseok and Myungsoo.
- Let me see. / - Here.
- Look at Myungsoo. / - That's so different.
- Wow. / - He's good.
It's such a good likeness.
My eyes are too far apart.
Isn't that a bit too far apart?
- It's a bit... / - Am I a flatfish?
Since it's a caricature.
It looks like you.
It really does look like a fish.
This is the smile he makes when he meets a superior.
It's exactly this smile.
He's very detailed.
- It's great. I love it. / - He's an expert.
Don't members of the public recognize you?
Until earlier this year, when I walked by, people went
- "Oh?" Like that. / - I see.
Then they ask, "Who are you?"
- I know what you mean. / - I don't know what to say.
- I understand. / - I see what you mean.
What do you say?
I say, "My name is Kim Poong."
"Is it not him?" Then they walk off.
It's because you don't look the same.
You just look familiar.
Hojun, how do people react when you walk by?
These days a lot of people recognize me.
- What do they say? / - They ask for selfies.
The most awkward part for me
is when I'm somewhere, say in a cafe, with friends.
- I can hear what the people say. / - Of course.
- You don't know how to react. / - That's true.
You can't ignore them, either.
If they would just approach me, I'd deal with it.
"It's Son Hojun. What should we do?"
"Should we ask for a selfie? You ask him."
- I can hear them. / - Right.
If you're going to ask, ask now.
I'd like to get it over and done with.
My friend is talking but I can't focus.
- You can't concentrate. / - Or leave.
So I just sit in silence
and then go somewhere else.
Do you wear BB cream just to go to a nearby store?
- Do you? / - These days, yes.
What for?
I once went to a convenience store.
The cashier looked at me while swiping my items.
"Can we take a selfie on one of your better days?"
Are you serious?
Really?
I'd just woken up and was wearing a tracksuit.
That's how I prefer to dress.
So now I wash and comb my hair before I go out.
Ever since then.
That's good manners.
- It is. / - Good for you.
Wonhui, doesn't everyone know you?
I've been around for a long time.
When people asked what I was in, I'd say "Silmido".
"Is that a fun movie?"
- I promoted my movies. / - You did it yourself.
- You get confused for Kim Wonhee. / - Kim Wonhee?
"Dashimawari"?
"Dashimawari".
"Damagochiri"?
"Damagochiri".
"Damagochiri", "Dashimawari", Kim Wonhee.
That's how people remember him.
A couple of days ago I was here at the KBS annex.
- I ran away from a fan. / - Why?
I wanted to avoid signing an autograph.
I saw that photo.
She kept chasing after me.
- I ran at full speed, and she caught up. / - She did.
She was an athlete.
Byeongjae, how do people respond when they see you?
I get upset about that a lot.
Why?
Let's say there are two people.
If one of them wants a photo,
the other one always says, "Nah, not for me."
- That happens a lot. / - I get what you mean.
Once I came across two people.
They both said "not for me" and walked off.
- That's really offensive. / - It's so embarrassing.
"Not for me."
It's even worse if one says, "I don't like him."
That happens, too.
Poong, why did you say you won't last till Chuseok?
- That you won't last. / - Why?
What did you mean?
I think the fever has gone way over my head.
- Not me. / - You?
- Kim Poong fever? / - Not that.
There are too many cooking programs.
The viewers will get sick of it very quickly.
The pioneers of such shows,
people like Choi Hyunseok and me...
Are you dragging him down with you?
Dragging him down to the pit?
He's everywhere. It's too much.
Do you give him until Chuseok?
- I say he'll retire around Chuseok. / - Really?
(They'll return to their roots at Chuseok)
People get sick of someone they see too much of.
- That's what I think. / - So until spring?
What about the people here?
How long do you think Byeongjae will last?
- Byeongjae... / - He shot to fame.
When things were getting rocky, he met YG.
(The savior that is YG)
(Thanks to them, he peaked)
He's really luck... Good for him.
You almost said "lucky".
You said "luck" but took it back.
- It's not that. / - So it's luck.
Anyway, good for him.
When I first met Byeongjae,
Byeongjae and Yoo Saeyoon were on this reality show
and Nam Changhee and I appeared as guests.
As soon as Byeongjae saw us,
he swore at us.
- What did he say? / - "Who are these morons?"
That's what he said to us.
So I just swore back at him.
"Who on earth are you?"
I cursed right back at him.
I was thinking, "How dare he?"
I need to clarify that swearing was the show's theme.
It was natural.
- They were on for an audition. / - That's right.
They had told some lame jokes, and it wasn't good.
Changhee is still scarred to this day.
Is he?
We looked him up to see how old he was
because I felt bad for swearing at him.
He was born in 1988.
So we had a drink and swore some more.
Now you're in YG. It hurts.
- He's on the way up. / - That was funny.
Did you fail a KBS open audition in 2011?
- I failed the comedian audition. / - Really?
What did you do?
I didn't get along with my partner.
We had different views.
We couldn't decide on a theme until the day before.
- It was a disaster. / - Why?
It was a wordplay thing that I don't even remember.
We parodied the cartoon "Dodgeball King Tonki".
No one laughed, and we were dropped right away.
You need some basic skills.
Did you prepare something just for our show?
- Me? / - Yes.
The writer said I needed to.
- I came up with this early this morning. / - Today?
- Isn't that a little too new? / - I impersonate faces.
- Faces? / - Faces?
- Do you know actor Kim Gyucheol? / - Yes.
- He's currently in a drama. / - Yes.
- I'll impersonate him. / - Okay.
Not bad.
(This face...?)
Myungsoo doesn't know Kim Gyucheol.
He doesn't know what this is.
Thank you.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
You don't know Kim Poong or Kim Gyucheol.
I'm not good with new faces.
- It's tough. / - "I'm not good with new faces."
He spoke the truth.
Wonhui did an awesome impersonation of Hitler.
What is that?
(Huge laughs)
Is there anything else?
I hang out with Kim Youngchul too much.
Dang-dara-dang-dang, time is...
You should do that in Hitler's voice.
Do that in Hitler's voice.
Dang-dara-dang-dang, dang-dang.
I'm sorry. I need more practice.
It was funny.
Wonhui, aren't you learning a lot today?
Byeongjae is laughing his head off.
Your face gets really red.
You're like a sweet potato.
I've got sunburn.
Women love voices like Wonhui's.
I should speak softly, like a Seoulite.
Rather than say, "Have you eaten?"
I'd like to say, "Have you eaten?"
- That's too much. / - Softly.
- Was it too much? / - What else?
- Are you wearing contacts? / - No, I'm not.
Your eyes sparkle.
I'm sorry if that was too corny.
It feels like a club for the elderly.
A club for the elderly.
I thought I was back in the 80s.
I almost responded.
Blame my old acting roles.
"My heart finally got rebuilt."
"Now I have room for another tenant."
We spoke like that.
- It doesn't work anymore. / - That was hilarious.
"My heart finally got rebuilt."
"Now I have room for another tenant."
"A beautiful rose has more thorns."
That's why anything I say sounds corny.
You're hilarious.
You have a great voice.
When you are actually dating someone,
is there a phrase you like to say?
To captivate a woman.
Let's say I ask someone to be my girlfriend.
"We just met."
- "We only went on a few dates." / - They say that.
Women say that.
We only went on a few dates.
Stop playing the girlfriend role.
You always cut in whenever this comes up.
- It's my chance to shine. / - I should've stopped her.
That's why the male guests run away when we're done.
They leave because filming is over.
They leave stuff behind.
It's enough to fill a warehouse.
- Male guests... / - Go on, Hojun.
I'd met her twice.
Then I asked her out.
She suggested we get to know each other first.
Yes, because you're being hasty.
What did you say?
"What if another guy shows up while we take our time?"
"Let's get to know each other while we date."
"It'll take time anyway."
- You're right. / - That works.
Dongwook, what about you?
I look only at the person I like.
Continuously?
- Just one? / - One person?
- I talk only to her. / - Do you?
I noticed he's been looking only at Shinyoung.
I thought he was trying to flirt with me.
He'll run away without even changing.
What? Why?
You can keep it.
"I'm over here." "No, I'll take a taxi."
A smurf!
Byeongjae, how do you approach women?
I walk around and pretend I'm a genius.
It's a bit like...
"I'm actually quite smart"?
You act like an oddball genius.
- How do you do that? / - I pretend to be odd.
- This is how I should walk. / - That's right.
(Strange gait)
That's not pretending to be a genius.
That's not a genius.
What genius does that?
Anyone can tell you copied that from movies.
That's where I learn everything.
Are there women who show interest when you do that?
The problem is that the women themselves are weird.
The women who show an interest in you?
They say, "I think exactly like you do."
For me, it's actually all a ruse.
I'm a rational guy.
That was so funny.
What about you, Poong?
In my case,
Dongwook said he focuses on one person.
I act like I'm sowing ginseng seeds.
- Ginseng? / - I sow seeds.
The reason you got into cooking
was to gain the interest of women.
- Back then, yes. / - How?
People didn't expect that a cartoonist could cook.
"You can grill steak, too?" That's the usual response.
But now I'm not that happy about it.
- Why not? / - Now everyone knows.
They complain if I don't cook for them.
- Yes. / - I see.
- "Let's see what you can do." / - They changed.
Let's see what you can make in 15 minutes.
They react differently now.
I heard that he shot cosmetics commercials.
- Did you? / - Yes I did, with Sam Kim.
I'm amazed.
Byeongjae has been filming a lot of commercials.
I'm envious.
How many did you shoot?
I didn't count, but more than ten.
That's a lot.
That's quite a lot.
You must have done a lot.
- They were one-off ads. / - They don't last.
What was the recent offer that you found amusing?
I shot it a while ago and thought it was funny.
- It was an ad for toothpaste. / - And?
I rarely brush my teeth.
You don't brush your teeth?
I rarely do.
That's why my teeth are so yellow.
I can tell.
I was ashamed.
- Show us your teeth. / - You were shy.
- Your teeth look like Jaeseok's. / - They do.
Look at mine.
- Did you save up? / - Yes, I did.
- You paid for your mom's implants. / - Did you?
That was a while ago.
I recently bought my dad a car.
What car?
It's not that nice. It's an RV that runs on gas.
Isn't that worse than not buying him a new car?
Don't say that.
I'm impressed.
Would you shave for a razor commercial?
- Maybe not. / - Just do it.
Someone asked Kim Heungguk to shave.
- It was a lot of money. / - It was, but he refused.
That was ten years ago, and he still regrets it.
- Beards grow back. / - They grow back.
- Do it. / - Don't say no.
Why did you grow a beard?
I looked too average for a comedian, so I wanted to
stand out in a way.
We have a photo of you without a beard.
- He was handsome. / - Was he?
Look.
This is you?
- When was this taken? / - I was 20, 21 in college.
You looked like Kim Seokhun.
You're looking away, but you're noticing the camera.
You're trying hard to pretend to look away.
- You were handsome. / - You were.
We're talking about commercials now.
Hojun, you shot a few.
Did you spend your money on your parents?
It was my father's birthday a week ago.
- And? / - I bought him a car.
A new car seems to be the trend these days.
- Was he pleased? / - Yes, he was.
Doesn't he wipe it down every day?
The car he drove before I got him the new one
was about 12 years old.
- It was old. / - It was time.
- He's frugal. / - He must have been pleased.
He's driven that for 12 years.
When I suggested he get a new one, he said,
"I'll wait until you buy me one."
You kept the promise.
I bet he didn't take the plastic off the windows.
It's such a precious car.
It's time to talk about our guests' pasts.
Hojun, did you play soccer until junior high?
I joined the soccer team in fourth grade.
You must be good, then.
Elementary school teams enter competitions.
We won prizes.
If you played until you were in junior high,
were you asked to study abroad or join a team?
I guess he wasn't that good.
I wasn't that good.
Why did you quit?
My father was a soldier, so we moved around a lot.
Are you blaming him?
Hojun played soccer.
- Byeongjae boxed. / - Did he?
- Really? / - I did for a year in junior high.
You have short arms.
I was quite fast and made up for my reach.
- Can you show us? / - The weaving.
Sandbag.
Let him hit you.
- He really did learn a bit. / - He's fast.
(He did box)
I'm more of a defensive player.
What's this figure-eight thing about?
I can avoid any punch by moving around defensively.
- Really? / - Seriously?
- Are you sure? / - What if you get hit?
What if you get hit?
You can't hit me.
- You try. / - That's impossible.
- Isn't he slow? / - He's quick.
Are you sure about this?
I'm ready. Go.
Let me give the signal.
- You lost already. / - Go.
Go.
Can't I just hit him like this?
What is that?
Excuse me.
- Byeongjae. / - That's funny, though.
We can see you.
It's a real technique.
I saw so many openings.
But you can't hit me.
- Can I try? / - Do it lightly.
From this distance.
Go, one, two, three, four...
Go, one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
I got you ten times.
Ten times.
Where did you learn to box?
It was actually at a taekwondo gym.
A taekwondo gym.
A taekwondo gym?
The teacher taught both disciplines.
- Boxing and... / - He crossed over.
- It was a taebo diet lady and me. / - Taebo diet...
You must be able to kick, then.
- I didn't learn taekwondo. / - No?
Dongwook, did you play sports in school?
I loved to play sports.
Did you?
I spent most of my time working out.
What kind of sport?
I loved to box.
I still box now.
Can you show us?
Show us some shadow boxing.
- The more the better. / - Shadow boxing.
- He's good. / - They're so different.
They're different.
- Taebo. / - Spar with Byeongjae.
Try sparring with each other.
It's Speedy Byeongjae.
Greet each other.
Fight.
(Lightning feet)
(I can't see a thing...)
This is when the referee calls it.
He looks so uselessly funny.
Wonhui, did you work out in school?
- I almost never did. / - Did you not like sports?
What did you do in school?
I'd sit and read.
As a kid I'd do math problems, thinking I was smart.
"I was 62nd in the class."
- You looked smart. / - It's not like I quit studying.
I get it.
So I failed the high school entrance exam.
- What then? / - I got in the next year.
I even failed the night class.
Many people failed in my day.
- That's right. / - Only 7 or 8 in a class failed.
That exam...
I didn't even pass the night class,
so I studied for an extra year.
When I got into college, my family didn't really care.
But they celebrated when I got into high school.
"You passed."
It was for something that mundane.
What a story.
Poong, you've been a famous artist since seventh grade?
Did you draw something for your classmates to read?
First, my classmates took turns reading my cartoon.
Then the shuttler took it to the next class.
By the time it came back from the last class,
it had a million comments.
- From students? / - Yes.
It was what they thought it lacked or needed.
That's how I got started,
and how my grades fell.
You're successful now.
I heard he earned a fortune in his 20s.
- Through a business. / - Did you?
"Pathetic Family" was a huge success.
I sold the characters on Cyworld, the personal website.
No one knew it would take off.
- People pay in cash. / - How much did you make?
I once made 100,000 dollars in a month.
- 100,000 dollars? / - Yes, I did.
- That was the highest profit. / - Per month?
- Did you have a company? / - Yes, I did.
I got so excited that I hired 20 people.
I went all out.
Then I realized only ten of them were actually working.
They were sharing each other's workload.
I should have done it all myself,
but I started a company.
I could've kept it all.
At the time, I thought some people had it easy.
I was arrogant and full of myself.
How long did you live that extravagantly?
It was for nine months.
- Not so long, then. / - It's like you now.
It's exactly like me now.
- That's why... / - You said Chuseok.
Poong, why did you say you won't last till Chuseok?
People get sick of someone they see too much of.
- You went through it once before. / - That's why.
I remember hitting rock bottom so clearly.
Can you tell us a bit more about that?
I'm a cartoonist.
Say a character was a huge hit and earned you a lot.
A cartoonist should go on drawing.
But when I started earning, I stopped drawing.
What did you do?
- Whatever I wanted. / - Like what?
I like to learn new things.
I learned to act.
Did you learn to act?
- Acting? / - Did you take acting classes?
I'm actually good friends with director Jang Hangjun.
So I went to him one day and said,
"I want to learn how to act."
He sat there in silence for a while then said,
"You're kidding me."
I said, "I'm serious. I really want to learn."
"Are you sure?"
"All right, then. Join a theater company."
"Can you do that?"
But I'd never thought that far.
- But... / - What an extreme solution.
I joined one the next day at his recommendation.
I quit working at my company
and quit drawing cartoons and acted for eight months.
- Really? / - You're odd.
What a dramatic life.
I basically did what I wanted.
Did you act in front of a camera?
I did for one movie.
Which one were you in?
It was Lee Nayoung's "Lady Daddy".
I played an unemployed young man.
I really was unemployed at the time.
It was real method acting.
Am I crazy? Me, kidnap a kid?
He asked me to get him out of English camp.
You joined a theater group for eight months
and were in a movie, so why did you quit your dream?
I did my best to perfect my character.
I sucked on a lollipop, acted all goofy
- grew a goatee and showed up on set. / - And?
"What do you think, Hangjun?"
"Lose the goatee and the lollipop."
That's what he said.
The character I had imagined didn't fit the movie.
You realized acting wasn't for you?
I decided it was a sweet dream, and I'd had enough.
- He did a lot. / - He did.
I want to keep learning.
- Tap dancing... / - Did you learn to tap dance?
I learned capoeira, too.
- Capoeira? / - Show us a bit of that.
- You know... / - The Brazilian...
It's a Brazilian martial art.
Is it?
Capoeira follows a fast and energetic beat.
One can't tell if it's a dance or a fight.
It's famous for its flashy moves.
That's...
I can't do it anymore.
This was ten years ago.
We'll take photos while you move about.
Show us some capoeira.
This is the basic stance.
I know that much.
This is called "the ginga".
Moving like a crashing wave,
it portrays the sorrow of African slaves.
This is capoeira.
Like this.
- Keep doing this. / - This is a martial art?
- This is a martial art? / - Poong.
- What is this? / - Poong.
It's too slow for a martial art.
It's actually very scientific.
- Saeho, attack. / - Do you know how
- this move works? / - No, how?
I can defend my torso, but if I fall
I land on my other hand.
What if you break it?
That could happen.
- That's why the arms... / - Attack.
Capoeira has a lot of leg and foot movements.
You go like this.
That's right.
- And after that... / - His posture...
His posture...
You did learn quite a bit.
That's about all I know, but...
Now you must show us something big.
You two, see if you can compete.
- Fight. / - Go.
This is...
No one attacks.
No one will get hit.
My tummy hurts.
- Capoeira is exhausting. / - It seems to be.
I get out of breath.
You quit because you're too tired.
What about you, Hojun?
What do you think you are best at?
I'm an actor, so I guess acting is...
Other than that.
(Show us anything)
You can't act here.
We have many cameras on standby.
- How...? / - What kind of acting?
- Dialects? / - I'll try some dialects.
Dialects.
I can do Kyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do.
- Simultaneously? / - That's hard.
Two friends are supposed to meet up.
Where are you?
- Are you here yet? / - Kyeongsang-do.
I am, but I don't know where to go.
Which way do I go?
Tell me where you are.
That's...
Chungcheong-do.
What?
- Can't you do them all? / - North Korean.
I told you so. Which area are you from?
Byeongjae created a lot of famous one-liners.
He said a lot of memorable things.
Let me share a few.
"There are words that offend you right away,"
"but listen up without feeling offended.'"
"You can't buy youth,"
"but they seem to think youths work for free."
- That's a good one. / - Isn't it?
"Pain means you're sick, not young."
- A play on the common phrase. / - Yes.
"Youth is pain."
Didn't Kim Nando call to complain about this?
That wasn't mine. I read it somewhere.
- It makes you think. / - It does.
Wonhui, do you have any?
I have a motto. "Do not get moody about circumstances."
I shouldn't brag when I'm famous
and shouldn't lament when I'm down.
You got really moody on the show we did.
He despaired.
Thousands of times over the four-hour shoot.
"They laughed." "Why not at this?" "Is that funny?"
He laughed and cried.
Byeongjae, did you study communication?
Yes, but I'm taking a break
from S University.
- Sokang University. / - Sokang University.
You got good grades.
You were first in your whole school.
It was on and off. Not all the time.
You didn't sleep at the time so you could study.
I'm not that smart when it comes to studying.
- It's purely hard work. / - I memorize everything.
What made you want to study so hard?
Did you always do so well at school?
I grew up in the countryside.
It was easy to do well and stand out in a small school.
I studied extra hard in high school because of a girl.
I got this idea in my senior year that
everything would work out if I went to a good college.
We all thought that.
I got the idea that the girl I had a crush on
would date me if I went to a good college.
It was just me. I didn't even ask her.
It was your idea?
Did you date her after going to college?
- It didn't last. / - So you did date her?
I'd liked her for a long time, five or seven years.
I think she took pity on me.
- Unrequited love? / - It was most of the time.
How many times?
- I can't keep count of every case. / - You can't?
I once liked seven or eight women at one time.
It was seven or eight women.
At one time?
I have a crush on them that they don't know about.
- One of them said this to me. / - What?
I'd confessed my feelings to her.
I told her I liked her.
- She said I didn't like her. / - What, then?
"You think this is love."
"It isn't."
I told her it was love.
She said it wasn't.
That was her way of refusing me.
I kept saying I thought I loved her.
"You don't know it now."
"You'll find out later."
- That's one of the better ways. / - It's a skill.
- It's an actual skill. / - You can't beat that.
- You confessed your love... / - "No. It's not love."
- Some of them belittle themselves. / - How?
"You'll meet someone way better than me."
- "I'm not for you." / - "I don't deserve you."
"I really think you're the one."
"But I'm not. You're out of my league."
- "It won't work." / - "League"?
I'd like to know what kind of boyfriends you are.
Hojun, what are you like?
When I'm dating someone, I'm nice to her.
- I do everything to her make her happy. / - Do you?
Women get sick of that very easily.
They do. I had a crush on a girl in high school.
I'd liked her for years. Each time I approached her...
- No, no. / - She turned you down.
I was just too nice to her.
- She felt uncomfortable. / - She would.
As soon as I decided, it wouldn't work out
and as soon as I gave up on her
and treated her like any other girl I knew,
she clung to me.
We women are strange.
You are.
"I'm not naive." What do you mean by that?
Explain that for us.
People say I'm sweet and naive and all that.
I'm 32. I can't still be that naive.
Are you 32?
You look young.
You look young for your age.
I don't think I'm that naive.
I know everything there is to know.
- How much do you know? / - Everything.
How much? What is "everything"?
"What is 'everything'?"
Elaborate.
Go on.
- Even I don't know. / - Point taken.
- Point taken. / - Oh dear.
What if your girlfriend is being unreasonably whiny?
- Do you take it? / - Do you?
I do. Then later on...
Be whiny.
Come over here. Play the girlfriend.
Her face... She looks annoyed already.
(Fully annoyed!)
She is annoyed to the max right now.
She's fantastic.
I've never seen such an annoyed girl.
(Appease your annoyed girlfriend!)
Are we going to eat or what?
Why do you keep saying you can eat anything?
Can I eat whatever I want today?
I said so already. I said so a million times already.
What do you want to eat?
I want to eat ramen.
I don't like ramen.
I'm trying to lose weight.
Don't you care that I'm trying to lose weight?
I can't date someone like this.
It's over.
Did you see him say that with a grin?
You had no intention of dating her.
I've never dated someone this annoying.
"This annoying."
- What are you like, Byeongjae? / - I'm like him.
- I rarely get angry. / - Really?
If she complains, I take it.
- That isn't easy. / - Aren't you dating someone?
- I am. / - Are you?
Even when you're bored with her?
I'm not bored with her yet.
- Does your girlfriend work in our industry? / - No.
- What does she do? / - She's a student.
A student...
- Was she pleased when you joined YG? / - Surely.
- She doesn't care about what I do. / - Why not?
Maybe she pretends not to care for my sake.
What does she say now that people notice you more?
She's very pleased.
She came clean a while ago.
She's dating me for the fame.
- I like her. / - She's so honest.
I do love her.
What color would you say your love is? Pink?
Khaki...
Doesn't that mean you're bored?
Khaki means you're almost...
That's the color of mold.
- Khaki... / - I love her.
Do you really? But your love is khaki-colored.
- He's hilarious. / - Khaki...
- It's sweet. / - Khaki...
So his girlfriend dates him for his fame
and their love is currently khaki-colored.
They're so much in love.
Poong, didn't you study art?
I did, but I didn't go to most of my classes.
Why not?
- I discovered adult entertainment. / - Clubs?
I went clubbing.
Did you just dance or go to meet women?
Everyone and I really did just dance.
What songs did they play at the time?
It was Cool, Roo'Ra, songs from the 90s.
Can you dance their dances?
A bit, I guess.
We have to see this.
It's back to the 90s.
- First, it was capoeira... / - What a show.
- We almost skipped that. / - It's just that...
- Five, six... / - Get out here.
Come on. Do it!
He remembers.
He remembers the moves.
He's so slow.
He can't move as lightly.
- Those are the moves. / - They are.
- Capoeira, capoeira. / - Capoeira.
Senorita.
(Perfectly synchronized)
- Kick, kick. / - Kick.
It's a turning kick. That's it.
Well done.
Well done, Poong.
Capoeira goes well with the music.
It's perfect for capoeira.
It's a semi-dance that goes with music.
It would suit any song.
Can you play a Roo'Ra song?
- We have a list. / - Dance some capoeira.
Capoeira...
Capoeira.
(Well?)
He's slowing down.
- Some capoeira, please. / - Capoeira.
(It's perfect!)
Kick, kick.
(Capoeira is music-friendly)
It goes with any song.
- It does. / - Really?
- Current club music? / - I think so.
- Play something. / - Pase.
It should work.
I doubt it.
- Capoeira. / - Capoeira, capoeira.
Capoeira.
It works.
- It works. / - It does.
- It works. / - Kick.
Like I said, anything goes.
Anything goes. Any song works.
This is great.
(Traditional Korean songs!)
(Classical music!)
We might just be able to start a trend.
Anyone can do this.
Anyone can do that.
Try it.
It's easy.
- Now kick. / - Kick.
It's so easy.
Capoeira is fun.
(Late Night Cafeteria)
Welcome to Late Night Cafeteria.
- from Mr. Baek. / - A special recipe?
I'm excited.
- We have Poong. / - He's amazing.
I was in the movie "Shikgaek".
Dongwook, can you manage?
It's way better than the previous ones.
"The previous ones."
It's really tight. Anyone could win.
They are all great.
I said our guests make women swoon,
but in reality they actually
spend a lot of time at home alone.
- Home-bound? / - Home-bound?
Byeongjae, do you live alone?
I live with the friend you met earlier.
Whose idea was it?
It was his.
We get along well.
He suggested we live together.
However close you are, if you're always together,
you're bound to collide sometime, aren't you?
Do you get along that well?
We met in the army.
- Did you? / - We lived together then, too.
It's been seven, eight years now.
Now that we lived together for that long, it's like
a couple that doesn't sleep together.
- I know what that's like. / - What do you know?
Changhee and I are a bit like that.
If one needs space, the other gives him a break.
So that's the secret to how you get along.
Did you once live with your friend's ex-girlfriend?
Yes, I did once.
It was him and me.
- I shouldn't have intruded. / - But?
They were living together and rented me a room.
That's very uncomfortable.
His girlfriend cheated on him.
Oh dear.
- I pretended I didn't know. / - Can you say that?
He had to move out if they broke up.
- You can't find a place right away. / - You can't.
So he feigned ignorance.
Poong, do you live alone?
- Yes, I do. / - I see.
Why did you move out so suddenly?
I lived with my parents,
but then I turned 30 and wanted to have some fun.
- You only live once. / - So let's have fun.
So I moved to Hongdae.
Hongdae...
I planned to have a lot of fun for just one year.
I guess I just didn't stop.
- He has one clear goal. / - He does.
You saw him dance capoeira.
- You enjoy life. / - You do.
Hojun, did you move to Cheongdam-dong?
- Wow. / - He's so different.
What an upgrade.
He's changed.
- He has the look. / - He does.
It's a small two-room apartment.
Why share information I didn't ask for?
- Do you accept guests? / - Do you?
Why are you always on the phone when you're at home?
- With whom? / - Who do you call?
I used to live with friends but not anymore,
so I feel lonely when I get home.
Who do you usually talk to?
I talk with my friends like Yeonseok, Yunho, and Baro.
Why do you blame Yunho for a huge phone bill?
- We've been close since we were kids. / - I see.
Now he's so famous that he's abroad most of the time.
We call each other to make up for not meeting up.
It's become a habit.
Most of our calls last a couple of hours.
If he's abroad at the time, the bill is high.
How much was the biggest phone bill?
Over 2,000 dollars.
Why so much? Was he in Brazil?
He was on his world tour.
Yunho was busy earning money at the time.
- You were jobless. / - It's not my problem.
Because he paid it?
His phone bill was over 2,000 dollars?
- His was. / - His phone bill.
Do you talk to Yeonseok every day?
When we first became friends,
I called him all the time.
I called him to ask how he was doing.
I trained him well.
If I don't call for a while, he calls me.
"Why don't you call?"
It's like you're dating.
Do you send each other heart emoticons?
It's how we communicate.
- Men can chat just as well as women. / - Of course.
I thought you discussed current issues.
You talk about nonsense, too.
- We can go on all day. / - Of course, we can.
Hojun, did you spend your first leave
with TVXQ's Yunho?
I was on my first leave from the army.
That leave is really...
- It's special. / - It's a big deal.
I wasn't naive then, either.
Yunho met up with me and said,
"It's your first break. I'll take you somewhere nice."
I had my hopes up.
He took me to an amusement park.
- Who, Yunho? / - That is a nice place.
It's where dreams come alive.
Did you go there with Yunho?
We waited for two hours to get on a minute-long ride.
Then we waited 30-40 minutes for the next one.
- Now he'll be joining the army soon. / - Yes, he is.
Where will you take him?
It'll be the same place.
It's where dreams come alive.
I tried to explain, but he just didn't get it.
"I'll take you there on your first leave."
"You'll see how it feels."
Wonhui was from the same class as many famous actors.
- Was he? / - Hwang Jeongmin.
Shin Dongyeob, Ahn Jaewook.
- You're from that year? / - Jeong Jaeyoung.
Most of them are stars.
What a year.
Were there three famous large heads in your year?
- Can you name them? / - They're all famous now.
We were known for having large heads.
It was Ryu Seungryong, Lee Cheolmin and me.
We were the three large heads.
Which of you three has the largest one?
I do.
Mine is the largest.
Do you live alone?
I live with my mother, but I'm usually alone.
What do you do?
I think I'm pretty ridiculous when I'm at home.
I have a routine.
I wake up and lie on the couch.
Once I get comfortably bored,
I play games.
At around 3 p.m., I realize I'm a loser.
I say, "What are you doing?"
My escape from the routine is to go into the yard.
Then?
I look at the Cheongyang peppers my mom grows.
"Look at the cucumbers."
- Then I come in and lie down. / - Again.
Isn't that what 86-year-olds would do?
Aren't there a lot of people like me?
Byeongjae, why do you drink and cry alone at home?
I don't know. I just get emotional.
On your down days.
- I listen to sad songs. / - You feel moody.
- He's a bit like an actress. / - He has such emotions.
Do you have highs and lows?
Not really. I'm usually in a slump.
Are you?
Down there?
Always.
He's rarely elated or in a great mood.
Do you not have any drinking habits?
When I got drunk in college with my friends,
I did a lot of stupid things.
Like what?
They were a few serious ones.
I once had a few drinks at a friend's home.
I'd never been to his place, so he showed me the way.
I suddenly got worried that
I'd get lost on my way home the next day,
so I was drunk and thought I should mark the way home.
You were like Hansel and Gretel.
I tried to leave bits of poop.
(What a topic for a cafeteria...)
That was bad.
Wonhui has something to say about this topic.
Why did you have bladder issues in the army?
It happened when I went to the training camp.
I had no idea what kind of place it was.
I didn't go to the restroom beforehand.
This happened years ago.
I needed to go to the restroom during training.
I held it in for about 30 minutes, then I gave up.
I ran up to the front and said, "I need to pee!"
The trainer kicked me.
"Sit back down!"
I had to hold it in.
I ended up having pollakisuria.
That can be very dangerous.
It's a condition where you have problems holding it in.
My nickname was "Pants Wetter".
If I didn't go within three minutes of feeling it,
it seeped out.
It happens.
Whenever I felt the urge, I was allowed to go.
"Go, quick."
I still have some symptoms.
It gets worse as you age.
As your prostate grows.
Hojun did a cooking show with Cha Seungwon.
Did you learn how to cook?
I'm actually on a cooking show right now.
I told Mr. Baek I'd be coming on the show.
A special recipe?
I asked him for a recipe.
I'm excited.
And Poong is here, too.
- We have Poong. / - He's amazing.
When I told the writers my recipe, she said,
"It won't be enough."
I asked why.
Apparently the others brought some great dishes,
so I feel a bit nervous.
I have high hopes.
Byeongjae will help us as a taster.
What did he bring?
It was rice with powdered milk.
- That's something my sister eats. / - Your sister?
It was rice and dried whole milk powder.
That smells a bit.
I tried it, and I couldn't handle it.
- Then why...? / - So I gave up.
- Did you? / - I'm glad you did.
Myungsoo, bring out the first dish.
I'm excited.
How many minutes?
It's three dollars two cents, and takes 2.5 minutes.
- How simple. / - What is it?
- A pork cutlet? / - Rice?
(A special dish from the great mind of Mr. Baek)
(Armed with sweet sugar power)
(Baek Cheese Roll)
- It looks like intestines. / - It smells...
- Intestines? / - Mashed potato?
- Fishcake? / - This is sugar.
Whose recipe is this?
I could tell from the sugar.
The sugar...
Is this Mr. Baek's recipe?
Yes, he said he'd think of something.
He came up with this five minutes after our taping.
- I can tell it took five minutes. / - Only the taster.
- Do you sprinkle the sugar? / - Yes, I did.
Is that rice?
Some have rice.
If it's not rice, it's canned corn.
- Is it wrapped in egg? / - Is it good?
- What's on the outside? / - It's cheese.
Cheese?
You can use the square grated cheese.
If you sprinkle that in a pan,
it melts and then hardens on its own.
You add some sweet corn or rice, then roll it up.
- He's eating a lot of it. / - It's sweet and savory.
What is this called?
"Baek Cheese Roll".
- Does it have a lot of calories? / - Yes, it does.
It has a lot of calories.
Does it taste like pizza?
- It's nice and chewy. / - That sounds good.
- The cheese adds flavor to it. / - It's a good idea.
Byeongjae, do you like it?
I don't like sweet foods.
- It's good, though. / - You finished it.
I got sick after the second piece.
I like anything that young children like.
This is a bit too sweet for me.
It's fine if you eat it without adding sugar.
- You're right. / - It's not a problem.
Myungsoo said that because it's Baek Jongwon's idea.
That's why he's being so nice.
It smells of a professional.
He likes anything a famous chef made.
If this were Hojun's idea, he'd have complained.
- Be honest. / - You're right.
It's all in the name value. I liked it.
- Let's see the next dish. / - Okay.
I'm excited.
Most of them stay at home most of the time.
The first dish wasn't bad at all.
- jajangmyeon? / - I love this.
I can smell it.
(A tomato dish for your prostate)
(jajang meets tomatoes)
(Tomaja Rice)
- jajangmyeon. / - Enoki mushrooms?
Byeongjae, don't you like this?
Yes, I like jajang.
- Is it jajang? / - It looks like jajang rice.
- Whose is this? / - It's mine.
It looks delicious.
Can you tell us about it?
When I was 30,
I had an inflamed prostate.
It was so bad that it traumatized me a bit.
I was told to eat a lot of tomatoes.
For your prostate?
So I mastered all sorts of tomato recipes,
and one of them was to mix tomatoes with jajang.
- Tomatoes? / - There should be some in there.
It adds an interesting taste and flavor.
That's why...
Is it not good?
Jeong Hyeongdon loves Poong's cooking.
It's not that good?
It's not the jajang taste we're used to.
- Is it sour? / - I didn't use the original paste.
I used the jajang ramen powder.
What do you think?
Now I'm craving jajang ramen.
- Not this? / - Yes.
He's sharp.
I'm not used to mixing jajang and tomato.
- It's very interesting. / - I haven't tasted it yet,
but I think the tomato cuts though the grease.
It's not the flavor or taste of jajang that we know.
At first, I was disgusted.
It's not Italian or Chinese.
- You're overseas, and you crave jajang. / - Yes.
Oh! You see something that looks like jajang.
"It's jajang!"
- It smells like it. / - You taste it.
- It's not jajang. / - It's not jajang.
But it's not spaghetti, either.
It's not spaghetti.
- Myungsoo doesn't like it. / - I don't.
- Because... / - I want pizza.
he doesn't know Poong.
- He could've won with this. / - Fame is everything.
You will either like it or hate it.
I think women will like it.
They won't.
It tastes better without tomatoes.
But I wanted to eat as many tomatoes as possible.
The red chunks are tomatoes.
Are you cured?
- Yes, I'm perfectly cured. / - That's a relief.
You're stressing that, right?
(Tomatoes are good for men)
What is it called?
It's "Tomajang Rice".
What a cute name.
Its name souds like vomit.
"jamatto Rice".
I prefer "Tomajang".
"Jamatto..."
- "Tomajang"? / - "Jamatto"?
This is just like "Dashimawari".
- "Dashimawari". / - It's just wordplay.
Jamatto, Tomaja.
"Tomaja Rice".
- "Tomaja". / - "Tomaja Rice".
Like Myungsoo said, it does taste odd at first
but the more you eat the more you want.
- It's addictive. / - He finished his portion.
Right? It's not that good at first,
but then you get curious and keep eating.
- Do you? / - That's odd.
I'm serious.
Byeongjae cleaned his plate.
Poong brought something.
- What? / - What's that?
Lee Yeonbok gives his apprentices a knife.
Chefs only present knives to their apprentices.
- Are you an apprentice? / - Yes, he accepted me.
Wow.
He gave me this.
- His name is on it. / - It's carved with my name.
That's it.
"Kim Poong."
It's Mr. Baek's apprentice and Mr. Lee's apprentice.
- You're right. / - We have two apprentices.
Bring out the next dish.
It's really light.
- That looks good. / - Wow.
(Made by the Chef "Shikgaek"!)
(Magically crunchy and chewy)
(Crunchy Wonhui Rolls)
- Fantastic. / - It looks amazing.
- What a great look this has. / - It's so pretty.
Let's try it.
It smells good.
- What is it? / - It'll be good.
- What's this? / - It's mustard.
I'll dip it in chili.
Bite deep into it.
Listen to that.
It's crunchy. I bet that tastes good.
Do I see sesame leaves?
- Oh dear. / - It's amazing.
- It's sesame leaves and shrimp. / - Sesame shrimp.
- Isn't it a fishcake? / - It's shrimp.
- Shrimp in a sesame leaf? / - It has to be good.
Is it good?
- It's good. / - I bet it's good.
That is spring roll skin.
You can use your average dumpling skin, too.
- Rice paper, maybe. / - Or that.
The sesame leaf is the magic ingredient.
It starts with a crunch, then the fragrance kicks in.
You smell the shrimp as you swallow.
It's amazing when it's warm.
- What do you say, Myungsoo? / - This is good.
- This is... / - This is bad.
You could serve this at a Japanese restaurant.
Everything we tried so far was fantastic.
It looks so pretty.
It's amazing.
How did you come up with this?
I was in the movie "Shikgaek".
The food satisfied my taste buds.
I feel like I'm a king.
I used to cook a lot.
Your voice has gone down an octave or so.
Has anyone dressed the flesh of a cow? I have.
I even cut blowfish sashimi.
The head chef on the movie was Kim Sunhui.
Her daughter taught me this.
She's like my teacher.
Everyone brought their teacher's recipes.
Mr. Baek, a famous chef, Kim Poong.
- Byeongjae? / - It's delicious.
It's way better than the previous ones.
"The previous one."
Dongwook, can you manage?
This one takes eight minutes to prepare.
It's heavy. It's so heavy.
- What if Dongwook wins? / - Let's have a look.
- This is crazy. / - It looks so good.
- Just look at that. / - It looks great.
(Cooked by Dongwook himself)
(Perfect with some beer)
(Wook's Fondue)
I already feel a bit greasy inside.
They had deep-fried shrimp.
I feel overly greasy.
You scramble some eggs.
- Add the sauce, sweet corn... / - It looks nice.
Then top with bacon and cheese pizza.
- Cheese pizza? / - Yes.
Do you eat this at home?
There's egg at the bottom.
- It's scrambled egg. / - Wow.
Eat it with nachos.
Scoop it up.
Like a dip.
Say something.
It looks good.
It's nice.
It's a mix of what we had so far.
The other three are in here.
Is that why it's last?
There's corn, a jajang-like sauce.
The nacho is the crunchy fried bit.
- When you have friends over... / - It's really good.
You don't always have food to serve with drinks.
Serve this and nachos,
and they'll feel like they had a full meal.
- With drinks? / - Yes, serve with beer.
Yes, beer.
The nachos alone...
I bet it's easy to make, too.
It's really delicious.
Is it not greasy, then?
It can be greasy.
The saltiness of the nachos actually helps.
I love the texture of the scrambled egg.
- It's lovely. / - Is it?
All four were quite good.
What's it called?
It's "Wook's Fondue".
- "Wook's Fondue". / - "Wook's Fondue"?
They all have cute names.
They all included their names.
- It's a tough one today. / - Nice.
It's really tight. Anyone could win.
I'm pleased.
Let's vote.
- One, two, three. / - Three.
(Their teachers' names are at stake)
- Three. / - Three.
Dongwook, Dongwook, Dongwook,
Wonhui, Wonhui, Poong, Poong.
Wonhui and Dongwook have three votes each.
Kim Poong has two.
- Vote again. / - Yes.
One of them goes to the final.
I'm not sure if Mr. Baek is watching this.
Mr. Baek, your apprentice...
(Master...)
Vote for this one or the other.
One, two, three.
Wonhui, Wonhui, Dongwook, Wonhui,
Dongwook, Wonhui, Wonhui, Dongwook.
Wonhui goes to the final!
This was so tough.
Some have an objection.
- Who? / - Someone doubts this is a late night snack.
It's fit for a banquet.
We've heard that before.
To eat good food one must make the extra effort.
Once you try, you realize it's easy.
- Do you? / - Yes.
You can't even be bothered to leave home.
Show us your skills.
- This is a first. Frying can be easy. / - Right.
- I'll show you. / - Make it look easy.
- Go. / - Okay.
- Go. / - First, the oil...
I'll start with the dip.
Why did you sprinkle salt in the oil?
I wanted to see if the oil was hot enough and it isn't.
Please vacate the kitchen.
What's this?
It's mayonnaise that we all have at home.
It's a honey mustard sauce.
If you don't have anything, you don't need anything.
You need some lemon juice.
What for?
For the flavor, if you have one.
If you don't, forget it.
- Spring roll skin. / - Spring roll skin.
Can you get that at a supermarket?
Yes, you can buy it at most stores.
- It looks almost like a wet wipe. / - It does.
If you don't have any, use dumpling skin.
Remember to place it diagonally.
That's how you roll it up.
Then a sesame leaf.
It adds a lovely fragrance.
Now this is the important part.
Wouldn't you rather go back to sleep than do this?
- Add some chopped cabbage. / - You're like Saeho.
The cabbage adds texture.
Saeho's nickname was Cabbage.
Now you need the shrimp.
The shrimp requires cleaning.
What if you have none?
- If you don't have any... / - Shrimp crackers?
That's a bit too much.
It's your average ham kimbap.
Use anything long that you have.
- Anything long? / - It'll work.
- Crab-flavored meat. / - Fish cakes.
- There's even meat that tastes like shrimp. / - Okay.
Remember to cut the shrimp.
You need to make it longer.
- I see... / - Just lightly.
Then the shrimp expands.
That's magic.
Now you roll it up diagonally.
Roll it up like so.
It's not too hard.
- This is important. / - Twist the ends.
The skin is slightly sticky.
Is that done?
- It's so easy. / - It's very easy to make.
I forgot to say earlier, but you need some egg white.
It's like making dumplings.
Now I'll fry it.
Don't drop it in the oil. Push it in.
Push it in.
You can take it out.
There's no need to...
- This is it. / - What worries me is...
It's burned outside and uncooked inside.
This was made earlier today by a professional.
They look identical.
They look so similar.
How come...
- This is... / - It's just the color.
I thought this was a cigar.
- Hang on, I will... / - Damachimawari?
I'll taste them both.
Damachiwari is trying so hard.
Eat what you just made.
Eat it.
It's too hot to hold.
Use chopsticks.
(This is...!?)
It's burned.
Is the shrimp cooked?
This was his first attempt.
- It's okay. / - "It's burned."
It smells just for the first few seconds.
(A few seconds?!)
- Hang in there. / - Wait.
It's okay.
I think the sesame leaf is rotten.
It wasn't.
It tastes like...
- We don't use rotten food. / - That's how it tastes.
Is it because you didn't dip it?
- You try it, then. / - With no dip?
(Try it without the dip)
Well?
- The leaf is rotten. / - Right?
I said I think it's the leaf.
Why would it be rotten?
Now try this one, this one's good.
The picky Park Misun is tasting a shrimp roll.
This is quite...
What do you think, Hojun?
I think it's delicious.
You can never fail.
We all tried Wonhui's snack.
What are you going to name it?
It's going to be "Crunchy Wonhui Rolls".
It's time to vote for "Crunchy Wonhui Rolls".
One, two, three.
Let's see.
Wonhui... Two...
One, two, three, four.
It goes on the wall.
Thank you.
We'll see you again next week.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
