Happy to be together on "Happy Together"!
"Happy Together"!
- Hello! / - Hello!
"Happy Together" recently got
- a nickname of makeover. / - A makeover?
It's called "Image Makeover."
It's the same for everyone, but
one's image cannot be changed once it's been created.
Myungsoo has an image of someone who yells well.
People think I yell and swear at people often,
but I'm not like that.
You recently got another image.
- What is it? / - It's the laughter killer.
- That's right. / - He's the laughter killer.
Myungsoo doesn't want that image.
- So please take it out. / - That's right.
Hyunmoo, do you have an image that you don't like?
- Traitor. / - It's things like nuisance and traitor.
- An unlikable guy. / - Yes.
I recently did an interview
and the title was "Will I be able to marry?"
and the most liked comment on that article was...
People usually would say, "You're still looking good."
- Or "You'll be fine." / - Of course.
The most liked comment was "Gosh, you know that"
and I was shocked to see that.
Don't people usually say good things?
"Gosh, you know that" was the most liked comment.
"The most unlikable celebrity" is not a great image.
- I agree. / - It's not funny, either.
Saeho, what do you think about your image?
He's known as a nouveau riche.
I do have a nouveau riche image.
- I spend a lot of money. / - I saw your new coat.
Only those two knew the brand.
- Myungsoo knew. / - It was a new product.
A nouveau riche can tell who other nouveau riches are.
- You're the worst one here. / - You're always.
Only the two of you knew.
What's Kim Poong's image?
I used to hear that I had an image of a chef.
I came to "Happy Together" to get rid of that image.
I don't have any new images.
You have different images depending
on the day of the week.
(Folding screen)
Kim Poong is still in the process of making an image.
- Don't get too anxious. / - Okay.
- Go slowly. / - Jaeseok also has
- a good person's image. / - Yes.
- How do you relieve stress? / - I really want to know
It's not like I got this image
because I wanted it, so I'm not sure what to do.
He has nothing to get rid of.
- Look at how many staff we have. / - Get rid of what?
He takes care of every one of them.
What if you shoot a show in a huge stadium?
How will you take care of 80,000?
- Take care of 80,000? / - I'll make it fun.
But how will you deal with 80,000?
Gather them. I'll give it a shot.
(Confident)
It's not a problem.
I'll manage to shoot the show with staff of 80,000.
Anyways, the guests for our show today are
celebrities who wish to change their images.
Lee Gyein, Kim Heungkook, Sol Bi, Sojin and Yoon Sohui.
Welcome, everyone. Hello, Gyein.
- Sit down, please be seated. / - It feels great.
Let me introduce them one by one.
She's the perfect girl of KAIST, Yoon Sohui.
- Welcome! / - Wow!
I'm sorry to refer to her like this, but I'll
be honest with her image before we get rid of them.
- She's the oldest idol, Sojin. / - She's the oldest.
- She's Ms. Clueless, Sol Bi. / - Ms. Clueless.
- The chicken-raising Lee Gyein. / - Chicken-raising?
"Yes, it's good, bring it on," Kim Heungkook.
- All right. / - This is great.
We have all five guests here with us.
There was a little delay in shooting the show
because we talked for too long in the opening.
I heard a few celebrities...
- They almost went home. / - That's right.
What did the two men say?
They were very angry.
Let me explain.
- I wanted to put band-aids on them. / - On our mouths?
- Yes. / - You wanted to seal our mouths.
You talked too much.
I went to say hello to Gyein in his waiting room
and he said,
"Do you want to know how you can raise your ratings?"
- Really? / - So I was like how?
He said, "Fire the other four."
(Fire the other four hosts)
- He wants only you. / - Isn't that too much?
- That's mean! / - What a harsh thing to say.
- Come on. / - I just joined the show.
"You do it alone."
How could you bring that up?
You said it yourself. Come on.
It's Sojin's first time to be on "Happy Together".
- I am. / - Every shooting has an atmosphere.
- Yes. / - How did you feel when you saw the
other guests that would appear on the show with you?
You look nervous.
- She does. / - I'm confused.
- Who's confusing you? / - What?
As we were waiting behind the stage,
they started talking about their own things without a
mutual topic and talked about two different things.
They wouldn't listen to anyone else?
Sohui and I were very confused. Sol Bi tried to help
but after a while, she sighed and just drank water.
(Failed to mediate)
(Exhausted before the shooting)
- You were exhausted already. / - Yes.
I really liked you.
(Sulky)
- Do you know who she is? / - She's from Girl's Day.
- Wow. / - My daughter likes Girl's Day.
How many members do they have?
- Pardon? / - How many members are there?
- There are four of them. / - Wow.
How can I not know about that
as the leader of the singers' association?
- Do you know the members' names? / - What?
- What? / - Their names.
- Girl's Day members' names. / - Sojin and?
That's not important.
What's important is that Sojin is here.
- He can't know everyone's names. / - That's right.
- There are millions of them. / - That's right.
Didn't I tell you that we're doing
image makeovers today?
That means these five guests have
strong images at this moment.
Yes, you're right.
I heard they talked about each other's images
beforehand and that it was very interesting.
I have them right here and these are
- Sojin's answers. / - Please read them as it is.
- I will. / - He'll read it just as it is.
Here are Sojin's answers.
- Heungkook is funny. / - I see.
- Gyein gets angry easily. / - I see.
Sohui is from KAIST, so she looks smart
and Sol Bi is dumb.
- I see. / - Yes.
- Are you okay? / - I'm fine.
We are reading this only as it is written.
I hope you don't misunderstand.
It's very straightforward.
Sol Bi was a part of Idiot Avengers as Ms. Clueless.
My granddaughter?
- Ms. Clueless. / - No, she's not your granddaughter.
It's Ms. Clueless.
- "My granddaughter"? / - They sound similar in Korean.
It's Ms. Clueless.
(Whose granddaughter? Mine!)
- Sol Bi is his granddaughter now. / - Yes.
She's probably as cute as his granddaughter.
That's why.
What's spring in English?
- Name the seasons. / - I'm not good in English.
She's not good.
They're Mr. Clueless and Ms. Clueless.
We have a few more to go.
These are Sohui's answers.
Sojin looks very young. Sol Bi is a singer,
but she also paints, so I think she's unique.
Heungkook reminds me of the song "Swallowtail".
She had nothing better to say. Just "Swallowtail".
Gyein is an actor with a unique voice
who does historical dramas.
(He has a unique voice and does historical dramas)
- What was that? / - That was funny.
Actor who does historical dramas?
He's a guy with a unique voice.
That's not an image.
That's a description.
- What was that? / - He's just a typical actor to her.
He's an actor with a unique voice
who does historical dramas?
- Now that we're on the subject. / - Yes?
I went to a wedding once.
I'm an old man, so I officiated their wedding
and the bride and groom wanted me to read
their marriage declaration in my character's voice.
- My goodness, that's funny. / - What a bold couple!
Most people read like this "Declaration of Marriage,"
but I said it like a character in a historical drama
and the bride was shocked and fell down like this.
I suddenly yelled, so everyone was shocked.
That was funny.
- At first, I didn't know. / - That was funny.
Don't you think that Gyein is
- more organized than before? / - He's more organized.
- It's implicative and simple. / - Yes.
Up until now, the two men's conversation is like
a play done by Messi and Ronaldo.
Seriously.
You know soccer well.
Everyone knows who they are.
We're looking at quick answers from our guests.
We didn't give them much time, did we?
We asked them to answer quickly
and they answered honestly.
Here are Sol Bi's answers.
Sohui looks like she is bad at music and art.
Life is fair. She can't master everything.
This isn't an image. It sounds more like...
- It's a complaint. / - Yes.
- What's next? / - Sojin looks smart and sexy.
Gyein has the "historical drama" look.
- "Historical drama" look. / - Yes.
- What about Heungkook? / - Heungkook is a bigmouth.
I treat him as a foster father,
but I'm still cautious of him.
(A bigmouth)
He's a bigmouth?
He's her foster father, but...
Sol Bi, is he your foster father?
- Yes, he once was. / - I gave her up.
Really?
- He treated me like a daughter. / - I have
- a few foster daughters and sons. / - Like Lee Jung.
- Yes, but I gave Sol Bi up. / - Why?
- No, I was the one who walked away. / - What kind of
a daughter would call her foster father a bigmouth?
Sol Bi said that he is a warm, nice foster father
with a bigmouth.
Next one, please.
We asked Heungkook about other guests' images.
You've picked up good ones.
But who's Yoon Sohui? I don't know her.
Sojin of Girl's Day? I don't know her.
I'll recognize her when I see her.
- What is this? / - Foster father, what is this?
He doesn't know about Sojin and Yoon Sohui.
- Don't you know them? / - Do you recognize her?
- Look at them. / - Look at what?
Take a look at them.
It's my first time seeing her.
- I know Girl's Day. / - But you don't recognize Sojin.
He got confused.
What did Gyein say?
- Gyein said... / - Please read them honestly.
- He didn't say much. / - I see.
He didn't know much about Yoon Sohui.
"Who? Moon Sori?"
(Yoon Sohui? Moon Sori?)
- That's how I heard it. / - Moon Sori?
We said, "Yoon Sohui" and he heard "Moon Sori".
I thought Moon Sori is here.
- You thought she was Moon Sori? / - Yes.
I haven't seen Sori in a while,
so I was glad that I'd see her.
We've five guests here who wish to change their images.
Let's first take a closer look at their public image.
Let's talk about Sohui first.
Please call Mr. Kim for me.
I don't feed just any man with my own hands.
Sohui is known to be very smart.
- She's the model student. / - Yes, exactly.
She completed a course for the gifted and
graduated from Sejong Science High School a year early.
- She did? / - Yes, she did.
She finished three years of courses
- in just a year or two. / - Yes, that's right.
She's majoring in biotechnology
at the prestigious KAIST University.
She's currently enrolled as a biotechnology major.
- She's a college student. / - That's right.
Let's take a close look at her.
Her profile is already pretty amazing.
Life is precious.
Pardon?
- Life is precious. / - You are right.
Did you come late today?
What you're saying isn't funny at all.
All he said was one sentence.
- We just started airing. / - You don't have to say it.
- Well... / - Who is older between you two?
Hang on.
I'm working for the Life Sharing Association now.
I'm their honorary ambassador.
Please share with us when it's your turn.
- Sure. / - We'd like to hear about it.
We all know that only science geniuses
are admitted into KAIST.
Isn't it hard for you to study and work as an actress
at the same time?
It is a bit hard, but I go to classes
whenever my schedule is open.
I actually went to classes two days ago.
To check your popularity?
No, I just wanted to attend.
- You like college? / - It must be hard to study while
- working as an actress. / - It must be difficult.
- You must be very busy. / - Yes, so
I gave up on getting good grades.
Expecting high grades is a lofty expectation for me
- because I can't attend often. / - Okay.
But this is the only time that I get to experience
- my days as a college student. / - I know.
So I try to attend whenever I can.
- Wow. / - That's amazing.
Her parents are probably a bit sorry that
she gave up her studies since she's so smart.
They must be a bit sorry.
It took a lot of effort.
Tuition must be expensive, too.
They have to pay for tutoring lessons as well.
We don't pay any tuition for KAIST.
- I'm embarrassed. / - Our school...
How's that so?
They don't know because they've never attended.
Were your parents against you becoming an actress?
They were against the idea at first.
My father still doesn't like it.
- Still? / - I can understand a bit why.
But my mother put it like this.
At that time, Kim Taehee was very popular.
"Kim Taehee is smart, beautiful"
"and has great acting skills."
"Do you think you have what it takes to be like her?"
She said, "If you excel in your studies,"
"you don't have to excel in anything else,"
but becoming an actress is a different story."
- So... / - Is that why you studied so hard?
Yes, I did.
- You wanted to achieve your dream. / - Yes.
I can't help but wonder
how hard someone has to study
- To enter KAIST? / - to be admitted to KAIST.
Please don't say, "I just got enough sleep."
- Or say, "I studied the textbooks." / - Yes.
Or say, "Studying was the easiest thing I've done."
To be honest with you, I just
focus really hard in class.
I even remember the jokes that the teacher makes.
I focus a 100 percent.
- I remember everything. / - Everything?
I wrote down everything from start to finish.
In middle school, I'd even write down the jokes.
Why would you do that?
I see what she means.
My teacher made some joke about a seagull
and I took note of it. I don't fully recall.
I drew a picture of it in my notebook.
I was a good student at the time.
She showed my notes to the class and said,
"This is what you must do to get good exam scores."
You must pay attention to everything the teacher says.
Hyunmoo said the same thing.
You focused in classes, too.
I also wrote down the jokes in my notes.
When I see the jokes...
- You remember the lecture. / - I'm reminded of it.
This is where we differ. We only remember the jokes.
Only the jokes.
In fact, I'd make jokes myself and get in trouble.
- We'd get in trouble. / - I know.
I thought about how to make fun of the jokes.
I can see why she is an elite student.
I heard there's a special admission interview at KAIST.
How is it?
What kind of questions do they ask at the interview?
They ask weird questions.
- Weird questions? / - For example,
this is the question that was asked.
"How do you dispose of fallen leaves"
"without incineration?"
- The questions are like this. / - Hang on.
Let's talk about the question.
How would we dispose of the leaves?
Sojin, what do you think?
I have a solution.
I didn't ask you.
- I asked Sojin first. / - Sojin first.
- Sojin, tell us what you think. / - Please tell us.
We can feed them to animals or make compost.
- Compost, yes? / - Yes.
- Compost? / - Yes.
How about you, Sol Bi?
I think I'd create art
- with the fallen leaves. / - Wow.
What can you make out of fallen leaves?
I'll make ornaments or something,
or I'll make an animal shelter.
What about you, Gyein?
This is simple. I will tell you.
Blow them off with a huge fan.
- To where? / - What do you mean?
Just send them to other places.
What are you talking about?
That's so self-centered.
- Do you use that method? / - Where will you send it?
- You send it to other towns? / - It's not a solution.
Blow them into a vacant lot in the neighborhood.
The leaves will be disposed of immediately.
What if they're wet?
- It doesn't matter. / - Why would you do that?
- I'm not doing that to others. / - Then let's
- ask Heungkook. / - This reminds me of my
childhood when I was a student.
- Why? / - This is
a good method for avid readers.
We'd use them as bookmarks for books.
But we're not talking about just a couple of leaves.
Then we can buy lots of books.
Why are you trying to make us buy books?
There are too many leaves to do that.
Are you planning to have your own library or something?
What about you, Myungsoo?
- A scientific approach is needed. / - Yes.
Such simplistic answers are not valid.
What is your answer then?
If you incinerate leaves, it produces dioxins
- which can cause anti-cancer. / - That's true.
Anti-cancer?
Does it cause cancer or does it treat cancer?
What are you talking about?
You are disqualified.
Hyunmoo, what would you do?
I think I would smash them
and create bedding for hamsters.
They would like the soft bedding.
- You look like a hamster. / - I do?
- I look like everything. / - You look like a beaver,
a hamster, Yeom Kyeonghwan, a Shih Tzu, Kim Sook
and Bruno Mars.
(It is like a family picture)
Will you ask the question to Saeho?
- What about you, Saeho? / - I would just
- enjoy the fallen leaves. / - You are out.
Or I would conduct a nature preservation campaign.
We can create a contest to pick the most leaves.
- There will be rewards or prizes. / - I see.
That would be my method.
Just blow them away with a fan.
Sohui, what was your answer?
The sound of stepping on dry fallen leaves
reminds me of fall.
There would be a nation-wide festival.
It would be conducted during the fall.
People would be able to create good memories of autumn.
This was my answer, but it turned out
that stomping on leaves were eco-friendly.
One year after I provided my answer,
they actually held this festival in Japan.
- A leaves stomping festival? / - Yes, a festival.
My answer was the most similar.
But your answer sounds different from what Saeho said.
I'm not sure if the answer is correct,
but I'm thinking they wanted an eco-friendly answer.
- Yes, that was the point. / - I see.
But I experience it every day.
It's very unrealistic.
If you leave the fallen leaves there,
they will freeze during the wintertime.
Then people will slip all over the place.
So you want to blow them off with a fan?
Yes, it's important to get rid of them quickly.
What about the townspeople?
They can blow them away elsewhere.
Blow them again?
So people would just blow them all over the place?
All the citizens would need huge fans,
so they can just blow them away everywhere.
That's a great solution.
Discussing science with the topic of fallen leaves is
- quite impressive. / - It's also fun.
- Actually, Sojin is smart, too. / - Is that so?
- She went to an engineering school. / - Oh really?
What was your major?
I majored in mechanical engineering.
- I bet she was very popular. / - Did you study hard?
I heard you chose mechanical engineering
because of your father.
Yes, my father operates an automobile factory.
I grew up looking at mechanical blueprints...
- When you were younger? / - Yes.
I didn't know it was rare for women.
(She thought it was common among women)
(She was an engineering student who loved machines)
(But she became a singer in Girl's Day)
(She's eight years older than Hyeri)
(Hyeri is the youngest member)
(She's 30 years old)
You're relatively old for an idol singer.
- I am. / - Right?
She's like Lee Mija among idol singers.
- That makes sense. / - You're right.
There's also Narsha.
- Who? / - Narsha?
I see. Narsha.
There are quite a few older idols.
When I say the same thing to Sandara,
- she brings up Sojin. / - That's right.
- And Sojin brings up Narsha. / - Yes.
Yes, there's Sandara too.
- I know. / - There are others as well.
Because she's the oldest in her group,
- they look to her as their mother. / - Oh, is that so?
The members accidentally call me "mom" sometimes.
- Hyeri is the youngest. / - Yes.
You and Mina are seven years apart?
Yes, Yura and I are six years apart.
Is there a generation gap between the members?
Yes, the girls once talked about this.
"The first celebrity I saw."
- The first we saw in our lives. / - That's dangerous.
We were talking about that and
I said, "When I was in elementary school,"
"I saw Jo Chun outside my school."
Jo Chun?
- It was so weird. / - You're my generation.
- Hey. / - "The Double Lights."
Jo Chun?
How dare you not believe me?
Hey, you!
Sure, let's do this.
(He's a well-known actor to those who were born)
(In the 70s and 80s)
Jo Chun?
- You're my kindred spirit. / - He had a partner.
I suddenly feel so close to her.
- Sojin. / - "The Double Lights."
We speak the same language.
(She could befriend the hosts)
I'm in shock.
Jo Chun...
- He was... / - Is he older than you?
Of course!
(Jo is 12 years older)
Long ago...
(Even Gyein is much younger)
He sounds like this.
(Imitating Jo Chun)
Lady, bring me some garlic.
That voice...
- It's the same! / - It is.
- You know... / - Jo Chun.
I feel weak if I don't eat a bowl of garlic a day.
The lady grumbles that he wants so much.
Bring me some garlic.
He hits the pillar by the wall with his spoon.
And you're telling us that you know him?
- This is fascinating. / - Hang on.
Is there anything else?
- There's a generation gap. / - In the summer,
I ran after a fumigator truck and got scalded.
- You ran after a fumigator truck? / - Yes.
Whenever we saw one, we went crazy like this.
Yes, yes, we all did.
Are you the same age as me?
- How old are you? / - How old are you?
We ran until the fumes blinded us.
Did you live through the head lice pandemic?
Yes, I did.
She knows about the fumigator truck.
When it came...
Even I followed them.
I know, right?
Even I followed them.
Fumigator trucks were fun.
We asked about looks and
- you said you're the prettiest. / - You did?
The staff asked me to rank the members by appearance.
We're all different.
I think we're pretty in unique ways.
Hyeri's very photogenic.
- She stands out. / - Only in photos?
- She's pretty. / - "Only in photos?"
- No, not like that. / - Really?
She's the prettiest.
Yura has a great figure
and her body is very proportionate.
- Mina is more on the cute side. / - Yes, she's cute.
And I said that I'm the most beautiful.
- You used the word "beautiful". / - Yes.
- "Beautiful." / - I'm the best.
Mina is the cute one.
The pretty ones are Hyeri or Yura.
You look a bit like Yoo Sun.
- Yoo Sun? / - Yes. I got that a lot.
I see the resemblance.
- You are beautiful. / - Like she said,
- she is beautiful. / - Thank you.
It's the truth.
Do you have tips on how to look younger in photos?
Apparently she eats a lot of late-night snacks.
- Look at her face. / - Look at her expressions.
- These are terrible. / - Don't do it.
- Sojin. / - Yes?
- This is the main point. / - I'm sorry.
- Look. / - She has the flesh under the eyes.
- Look. / - She looks so naive.
I noticed that you make this face a lot.
- Goodness. / - Why did you purse your lips?
- This is embarrassing. / - Corners of her mouth go in.
- It's so cute. / - It is.
- Can you show us that face now? / - Do it.
- Yes. / - Show us the original version.
- Show us the original. / - Please.
Let's see it.
I don't look cute now.
She does anything you tell her to.
She does.
- I usually smile for the camera. / - Of course.
Those eyes...
(I'm the youngest)
I love it.
With the double peace sign...
- The gestures... / - I frame my face.
All right, let's all try it. Gyein, you go first.
- Do this. / - Try this.
- No. / - Please.
- Try it. / - Take off your glasses.
- How? / - It'll make you famous.
- On both sides. / - Spread your fingers.
- Straighten your fingers. / - I fought a lot
and I broke a finger.
(I broke a finger)
- It's selfie time. / - That's so sad.
I can't do this.
What does that make us?
- Just do it. / - Put it next to your face.
By his cheeks?
Down here.
Pose like this.
(He looks like he's one years old)
- Purse your lips like she did. / - To look cute.
Do it.
- That's it. / - You did it.
- You looked cute. / - Perfect.
Take off your glasses.
Do it without your glasses.
- You looked cute. / - You did.
- Do it once more. / - You looked so cute.
(Cutie-pie Gyein)
You nailed it.
- That was scary. / - Do it.
Heungkook, you're next.
- I have a moustache. / - It's fine.
Do it without your sunglasses.
- Okay. / - Purse your lips.
(A hairy cutie)
It works.
Sol Bi is the original Ms. Clueless.
She took a break, but recently made a comeback
as Ms. Clueless.
- Me. / - Me.
- Sol Bi. / - Number one, watermelon.
Why do you think it's watermelon?
Because watermelons... What was the question?
You shouldn't be saying that.
What would our viewers think?
- She doesn't know the question! / - She just guessed.
The answer is
watermelon!
(Sol Bi beat Mr. Smarty by guessing)
So how did people react after that?
They test me wherever I go.
- They do? / - Yes.
What kind of questions do they ask?
Some people ask me to guess their mother's name.
Some ask when they'll get a boyfriend.
She's just great at guessing,
but people see her as a fortune teller.
Your outfit, though, it might be the earrings,
but you look like a tarot card reader.
(Outfit and earrings make her a tarot card reader)
- It looks... / - I love it.
Ladies in certain booths wear such accessories.
You have that aura.
- She looks like an expert. / - Yes, she does.
- Yes. / - Be honest, though.
Was it a coincidence or are you really a great guesser?
After that, people asked me a lot of questions.
I got most of them right.
Is there a tactic or tip you can share?
Let say when you make a guess about Korean.
For those questions,
I go with what I think I've heard before.
With English, I go with what sounds least familiar.
- What you've never heard before? / - Yes, I do that.
- Is that what you do? / - Yes.
It's like a psychological battle
with the one who made the question.
- Oh. / - Yes.
- You go that far? / - Yes.
If you were this good at guessing,
what were your Korean scores like?
I knew the answers back then.
You went with what you knew and got terrible scores?
In school...
She could've gone to KAIST if she kept on guessing.
- She could have. / - Not to KAIST, though.
- Somehow... / - You never know.
- It's possible. / - It's impossible.
Did you solve all the problems?
Of course, she did.
- What else would she have done? / - What do you mean?
She is pretty clueless.
Sol Bi, you seem to have a pretty smart head,
but you have poor memory?
I'm really bad at memorizing.
You are?
I think too much.
Even when I'm singing on stage,
I think about what to eat
once I get off the stage.
- That's... / - You're multi-tasking.
There's just too much going on in my head
for me to memorize anything.
I mix up the lyrics that I wrote myself...
and mess up the performance.
- What do you do then? / - That's right.
For example,
let's say the actual line is 'Tonight, at any time'.
If I get it wrong,
I sing 'Tonight, for me' or anything that fits in.
(Real-time lyricist)
I have many variations.
You're a genius.
(From clueless to genius)
Heungkook, you had eight bars left.
Getting confused...
- Eight bars? / - He had extra time left.
I was shocked. It's my song.
The music was still playing, but I was done singing.
- The song? / - I was done.
But the music was still playing.
"Is this your song?" And I was like, of course it is.
(He pretended nothing was wrong)
Sojin, did you ever forget the lyrics?
In my case, I went abroad
and had to sing in Japanese for three weeks.
- In Japanese? / - And when I was back in Korea
to perform at a huge concert with many other singers.
I couldn't remember the Korean lyrics.
- 'Sugar, sugar, sugar...' / - And then?
(She forgot the lyrics)
(Filling in with cute gestures)
- My brain just went blank. / - That's crazy.
I was so surprised.
- Sol Bi, what would you change? / - What image?
People think that
I'm rude and say whatever I want to my elders.
You aren't like that now,
- but before... / - Yes, before.
- On variety shows... / - You were rude.
Will I get stiff like you when I'm older?
I'm scared.
I don't get the impression that you're a great singer.
- I mean... / - Why not?
- Why? / - Just...
("A female version of Kim Gura?")
("Mean-spirited Charisma")
(She became known for being rude)
I actually watch video footage of what I said
on old variety shows.
It really shocks me.
You were the female version of Kim Gura.
- I was. / - Seriously.
But actually...
Sol Gura.
It's my personality.
I talk back to the powerful and give in to the weak.
So whenever I'm on a show with others
and if I see someone with a strong personality,
- On purpose? / - then I actually try harder
to make a stand and talk back.
What did you say to Gyein?
Oh, I wasn't rude to him.
- It's just a big misunderstanding. / - I see.
We once appeared on a show together
and I said my grandfather had named me.
"Sol" is a point and "Bi" is 12 points.
- In a card game. / - The Korean card game.
When I said that,
Gyein said,
"If the card didn't end with 12, but with 11,"
"then your name would've been Sol Dung".
Apparently I replied,
"Would you like it if I called you Gyedung?"
- She's got her accent back. / - I never said that.
- But... / - You don't remember it well.
I don't think I said that. Did I?
- Did anyone call you Lee Gyedung? / - Did you hear it?
Yes, many times. My actual name was Lee Gyedong.
(His original name was Lee Gyedong)
- That's amazing. / - So he's not offended.
- Sol Bi must be a psychic. / - How did you guess that?
When I was young, people used to call me Gyedong.
- She discovered his name. / - She must be a psychic.
- Really? / - You guess so well.
- It's okay. / - What Sol Bi is saying is
that she wants to apologize in case she offended you.
- She's apologizing just in case. / - That's right.
- She wouldn't say that now. / - If you got offended,
I'm sorry.
We wouldn't have discovered his real name without you.
- When we think of Gyein, / - It's here.
we think of him as a lover of poultry.
Aren't you a chicken doctor? You're a chicken doctor.
(Chicken Doctor, Lee Gyein)
(The best location)
(There is a luxury hen house in the front yard)
How are your chickens?
I'm wondering how to get rid of them.
- What are you talking about? / - Get rid of them?
- It's because... / - Your chickens are...
Chickens should be treated as chicken.
- Yes. / - That's what they deserve.
But in my mind,
I treat them as my family,
so I fed them the things I ate.
- You fed them human food? / - Yes.
You can't do that. What did you feed them?
I fed them half my rice.
- Half of my sausages. / - You can't do that!
And other vegetables as well.
- Chickens eat those? / - Why'd you feed them that?
How can you feed them fried anchovies?
I thought their meat and
eggs would become more delicious.
- You wanted them to be healthier. / - That's right.
Also, I'd get closer to them.
I thought that as animals, they'd appreciate me better.
That was my intention.
But after a few days, the chickens
- couldn't fly or make noises. / - What happened?
I was so worried. I thought someone fed them pills,
so I started to investigate.
It turns out that the food I gave them
made them
- obese. They became obese. / - They couldn't digest.
Now they can't fly, cry, or even walk.
They're like this and don't even notice me anymore.
- How many are affected? / - About 50 of them.
- All of them are sick? / - Yes.
What will you do with them? You're in big trouble.
So I didn't know what to do.
- You should've asked a vet. / - I did.
He said there's no way to save them.
For people, they have all sorts of treatment options.
- You can go on a diet. / - Yes, there are ways.
But it's a bit different for chickens.
- It must be really depressing. / - It is.
- It's a sad story. / - It definitely is.
It seems like you're not a very good chicken farmer.
He does truly love chicken, though.
- He loves them, yet... / - He loves them, yet...
- That's the wrong kind of love. / - I know.
What? I even have a chicken that I raised for 20 years.
- You have a 20-year-old chicken? / - Of course.
He's practically your friend.
I have never heard of something like that before.
A chicken can live up to 20 years?
I don't know, but it's been alive for 20 years.
But don't chicken age as well?
It's old, but chickens don't get wrinkles.
- A 20-year-old chicken? / - Do you have a picture?
I take pictures before I eat them.
What?
You take a portrait of the chicken before eating them?
I calm it down by feeding it.
I stare at the eyes very lovingly.
Then I take a picture and it's gone afterwards.
- I turn it into chicken soup. / - I see.
So you raise chickens
- and eat them afterwards? / - Of course.
What else would I do with them?
Don't you get attached to it?
- What? / - Don't you feel attached?
How can you get attached to a chicken?
So he's really raising them for food.
- Of course. / - This doesn't make sense.
- I know. / - I thought you loved them.
How come you didn't eat that 20-year-old chicken?
That one
creates cheerful vibes.
- It does? / - They have different personalities.
- He's the cheerful one? / - Yes!
- How do you know that? / - I just do.
It hangs out with the others. It goes here and there.
It doesn't fight and it has a good personality.
That's really something. There's a charismatic chicken.
- Of course. / - How about the others?
- You eat the troublemakers? / - The other chickens are
hot tempered. There are many troublesome chickens.
- They... / - So you'll let that one grow old?
Will you let it die of old age?
Or will you eat him, too?
I will die first.
- What? / - What are you talking about?
Why are you comparing your life with the chickens?
What are you talking about?
What is he talking about?
There is no record of
- such a unique chicken. / - It's a mystical creature.
They say a chicken can live up to 50 years.
They can live that long?
I didn't do a research but
it's possible if the right conditions are met.
I can't live another 50 years.
So it'll mean that I'll die first.
You are funny.
I heard there's a reason why you raise chickens.
It's out of respect for my late mother.
When I was young, we used to have a little hen house.
Every egg was precious. People don't know nowadays.
My mother never ate a single egg.
She packed fried and scrambled eggs for us.
We were raised observing that.
So, I thought I should
raise precious chickens in memory
- of my mother. / - Only this segment should be aired.
- That inspired me. / - That was a nice bit.
Your mother inspired you. Only that should be aired.
What about the other stories?
I don't think it'll make it.
This part needs to be aired.
So we were talking about our public image and
while discussing Gyein, we brought up his chickens.
So let's continue our discussion on public image.
There used to be an actress named Lee Miji.
- It's your turn. / - It's your turn now, Heungkook.
It's finally my turn?
Stop interrupting, Gyein.
Heungkook wanted to interrupt someone else's turn.
Now, let's talk about Heungkook.
You're famous for many things you've said.
Every time I hear it,
- He's really... / - he cracks me up all the time.
He called Kim Jongkook's "Cyber Lover"
and Kim Jongkook's "Shady Lover".
- You didn't know about that? / - No.
- He called it "Shady Lover". / - There's another one.
I actually heard this bit on the radio.
- You did? / - At first, I didn't laugh.
He pronounced UCLA wrong.
- He said, "At Uk-la University" / - "Uk-la University"
And it was Gummy's "I Should've Become a Friend."
But he read it as,
Friend's "I Should've Become a Spider."
- He was just trying to be funny. / - That wasn't it.
No, that wasn't it.
I never imagined a person named Gummy meaning spider.
- He didn't know Gummy. / - I heard this one.
The script was written correctly but
Heungkook thought there was a mistake in the script.
So I said "I Should've Become a Spider" instead.
(He's funny as is)
- Actually, he makes sense. / - It's an honest mistake.
- I get why he did that. / - I didn't do that
to be funny.
The singer mentions this story often at her concerts.
- This story is really popular. / - Really?
- She said that? / - So she often tells it to people.
I also heard you made a mistake with the group BTS.
That's right. That's a big one. My daughter went to
the U.S. to visit her family
and she asked me if I knew BTS.
I told her that I didn't know them
and she said they were the best.
On the weekend, I do a radio show in the U.S.
and I made a mistake there.
- What did you say? / - Yes?
I said, "The next song is by Bulletproof Vest."
Bulletproof vests are the best.
Spiders can't sing, but bulletproof vests can?
I thought they got the name for being strong.
I heard you called Yim Jaebeum's "Go Hae"
as Go Jaebeum's "Yim Hae".
- Gosh. / - I heard it just yesterday.
- Go Jaebeum's "Yim Hae". / - Who would say that?
- Is he right? / - Is he right or not?
He probably said that to be funny.
- Go Jaebeum's "Yim Hae"? / - No way.
I've done that kind of thing so many times that
people don't want me on their radio shows.
- That's a relief. / - That's good though.
Heungkook is actually known for the song "Swallowtail".
- The dance was very fancy. / - It was unique.
It requires great stamina.
Wasn't it really hard to dance that all day?
My back and legs hurt so much.
I had to drop six times in total.
- Whenever you fell... / - It was really risky.
- People used to walk like that. / - I know.
There was once a "Swallowtail" dancing contest.
- There was? / - Yes. It was so popular.
- The entire nation went crazy. / - About 50
to 100 people participated
in a crammed space.
People who won that contest all became celebrities.
- Who are some of them? / - Kim Gunmo and Lee Jung.
- Are you serious? / - Of course.
Didn't you release "Swallowtail 2"
and "Gangbuk Style"?
It went by the name "Gangbook Style"?
(The rhythm sounds similar)
(It's very similar to "Gangnam Style" by Psy)
It has the Psy vibe.
Isn't this "Gangnam Style"?
Gangnam Style!
Gosh, what's up with that? It's exactly the same.
He took Psy's song and...
Well, this is... Hold on.
This is really well-made.
Isn't he copying what Psy did?
He totally did.
("Gangnam Style," "Swallowtail" are "Gangbook Style")
That's right. Yes!
He totally copied it.
"Gangnam Style" has become famous worldwide.
But did you know that he actually took my idea?
"Swallowtail" is the original.
- Why is that? / - I was born in Gangbuk District,
so I named it as "Gangbook Style".
But what does that have anything to do
with "Gangnam Style"?
- My song "Swallowtail", / - Yes.
- led the Korean Wave then. / - It was a sensation.
Back then, it was so popular all over Southeast Asia.
Really? All over Southeast Asia?
Yes, people went crazy for it.
Psy has become a globally recognized star
- whom many people love. / - Yes.
I think I can do it too,
but I never get enough views.
- How many views did you get? / - How many do you get?
- What? / - The number of views.
It's not that many.
Then just tell us how many digits there are.
Do you get about 10,000 views?
It could be 10,000 or 1,000...
- Most videos get over 10,000... / - It looks like he
was counting for a bit at the beginning then stopped.
- He got 40,000 views. / - You got 40,000 views!
- You got 40,000, which isn't bad. / - Really?
- I actually watched it two times. / - I see.
You should've just said that I got 50,000 views.
We can't say what's not true.
I heard there was a hit song, which Heungkook rejected.
- Really? / - You shouldn't have rejected it.
- I was very surprised. / - What is it?
"What's Wrong With My Age" was originally your song.
(With its cheery melody and brainwashing lyrics)
(This song quickly became a very popular hit song)
("What's Wrong With My Age?")
- Why didn't you choose it? / - You should've sung it.
- This song was so popular. / - This song is the best.
It's the number one song at the karaoke.
You should've sung it.
It's easy to sing along, too.
Why didn't you tell me...
I didn't know.
Either my manager or the songwriter brought it to me.
He said that he thought "What's Wrong With My Age"
would suit me very well and asked me to sing it.
But back then, I was very popular.
I thought I was still young.
I was appearing on variety shows
with young celebrities,
so I thought I wasn't old enough to sing the song.
- You totally missed out. / - The lyrics are a bit...
- That's right. / - You didn't think it suited you.
So I told him to give it to someone else.
Then I heard that it went to Oh Seungkeun.
- I see. / - It's such a popular song.
- People love it so much. / - It's popular at karaoke.
So that songwriter still can't get over it.
- His name is Jeong Gisoo. / - He's the songwriter.
"Burning Friday" is the song he made for me recently.
But it didn't become a hit song
because the title wasn't so catchy.
"Burning Friday" is a new song, right?
It's not popular because you picked one specific day.
You should've named it "My Burning Week".
- Your entire week is on fire. / - Could you sing it?
- Please sing it for us. / - I like the song.
Please sing a little bit of "Burning Friday".
'Drink and dance away'
- 'Today is Burning Friday' / - This song is good!
'Stop being exhausted by your daily life'
- I like this song. / - 'Today too'
If you like it, how come you never played it
on your radio show?
(Heungkook hits the mark)
- Heungkook is right. / - My radio show
mainly plays pop songs.
- By the way, Heungkook. / - Yes.
Can you sing a bit of "What's Wrong With My Age"?
'Yeah yeah yeah'
'What's wrong with my age?'
'It's the perfect age to love'
- That was so good! / - If you add those expressions,
- it might be better. / - That's right.
Especially at the "perfect" part.
He could've been popular again.
- Another opportunity will come. / - All right,
we'll start the image makeover now.
The things we weren't able to
- see on television. / - Yes.
- We'll investigate them. / - Okay.
Gyein will go first.
Gyein has been acting for the last 43 years.
- He's a veteran actor. / - Gosh, 43 years.
This is very impressive. To be honest, he always
makes us laugh when he appears on variety shows,
so we usually emphasize his sense of humor.
- He's an impressive actor. / - That's right.
- The passing ratio was 150 to 1. / - Wow.
That's very competitive.
It must've been more than that.
I think it was more like 200 to 1.
We weren't able to verify it,
so we'll just use the official data.
- The official data says 150 to 1. / - Yes.
- He's an amazing actor. / - Yes, he is indeed.
Who were some of your fellow actors from that time?
I always talk about them.
They're Go Dooshim and Park Jeongsu.
- There are many famous actors. / - That's right.
I have to point out that Gyein was
a romantic actor all through the 70s and 80s.
He was very...
- He had a different image then. / - That's right.
Yu Jiin, Won Mikyung and Lee Misook.
He acted in movies with the top actresses of the time.
- You were in many movies, right? / - Yes, I was.
(Romantic actor Lee Gyein)
- Seriously? / - Look at this.
- Wow. / - I know.
- Look at his eyes. / - Gosh
This was from the movie, "The Woman Whom I Abandoned".
What's more surprising is that
it has been named as the third most
popular film of the 70s.
Back in those days, watching movies was
the only form of entertainment.
The original screenplay of that film
was written by Kim Soohyun.
Jeong Soyeong was the director.
He's directed the film, "Love Me Once Again".
He made the film
- and it became a hit. / - When we think of Gyein now,
we just think of other people impersonating
his funny characters such as Mo Palmo.
Do you remember any lines from the romance films
that you were in?
There's this fatal line that
gave goose bumps to the audience as well as to me.
- What is it? / - You'll get goose bumps, too.
The two characters are on the first night
of their honeymoon.
"The wedding is done."
She's calling someone at the front desk of the hotel.
Then the husband wonders who she is calling
so late at night.
Then he says, "Hello". Try saying, "Hello".
- Hello? / - No, you should sound more polite.
Hello?
Let's just say that it's done.
- "Just listen to me." / - Wow.
"I used to be in love with your wife."
- I used to love your... / - Why do you love my wife?
You can't ask things like that, you fool.
Please don't do that, gosh!
Then the character gets surprised... That's right.
- Wow! / - Wow!
(What are they doing?)
"But your wife left me and chose you."
(Surprised)
Is this from
their latest film, "Swallowtail and Mo Palmo"?
- After that... / - Swallowtail...
Swallowtail and
Mo Palmo.
"I'll devote the rest of my life"
"to ensure your unhappiness." And he hung up like this.
After that, Mr. Swallowtail here would've said "Wow".
(Mr. Swallowtail was caught off guard)
Why would you devote the rest of your life to that?
Well, he just wanted to ensure their unhappiness.
- Then just bring it on. / - Stop saying "Wow".
He said, "Bring it on".
"Bring it on and take revenge."
He's inviting him.
Come to me. I have to protect my family, too.
"Bring it on"
This is the new movie, "Swallowtail and Mo Palmo".
- This phrase could be popular. / - Who would use it?
I have a question for you.
- At home, / - Yes.
what kind of husband are you to your wife?
- I treat her this way. For fun. / - How?
I tell her something funny, make her laugh
and look at her and then...
(Twitching his lips)
Doesn't that happen when your body lacks magnesium?
Lack of magnesium...
I think it happens to me, too.
But it could be my way of expressing affection, too.
Say "Stop going fishing".
- Stop going fishing. / - I say one, two...
- What was that about? / - What are you doing?
That was...
If other people see that...
You could be sent to prison for that.
Ask my wife. When I say, "1, 2..."
She says, "Why? Three, four. Gosh, seriously."
- What do you do? / - What do you do? "Three, four."
I say five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
- I see. / - I see.
Now I know.
- He's adorable. / - He says three, four.
His wife goes along with his jokes.
- I see. / - They're a cute couple.
- Now, the oldest idol singer. / - Wow.
She's also smart and studied engineering. It's Sojin.
We talked about this earlier.
Sojin looks younger than her age.
- I was surprised. / - Compared to her actual age...
How did you debut?
When I was in high school senior,
I got distracted from studying
because I couldn't control
- my love for singing. / - I see.
- So I visited Seoul every weekend. / - I see.
Where? Where are you from?
- I'm from Daegu. / - Daegu, I see.
Then what did you do when you were in Seoul?
When I was going around Seoul, I ended up auditioning
for an agency and I got in.
They said if I paid 2,000 dollars
for a six-month training...
- They wanted 2,000 dollars? / - Yes.
They said I could become a singer after the six months.
They said that it was for the training fee.
- But it was a scam. / - Goodness.
After taking money from young kids,
- the director ran away. / - Gosh.
Did you practice singing at all when you were there?
I practiced a little bit for about one or two months.
I just learned songs.
All trainees sat together and learned together.
- Everyone sat together. / - It was like singing class.
- Like those singing classes. / - That's hilarious.
It's like one of those music classes where you sing.
- Which song did you learn? / - Did you clap like this?
I learned a song called "Wild Flower",
- then he ran away. / - Was there an instructor?
- Let's hear it. / - Get ready. One, two, three, four.
'She's faced the hardest times you could imagine'
- The song goes like this. / - Everyone sang this?
- Yes. / - You learned it well.
Kids do better in groups
because they get more competitive.
- Is that right? / - Yes, they get more competitive.
I heard your parents were so shocked that
they didn't talk for a month.
- They hated me singing. / - I see.
I focused on singing even when I got into college.
My parents don't show their anger.
Instead, they don't talk when they are angry.
For the entire month, they didn't talk to me at all and
they probably found out about you getting scammed, too.
- Yes. They knew about it too, so... / - I see.
I wrote a letter on a sticky note
and put it in my dad's shoes.
- You put it in his shoes? / - Yes.
- So he could see it? / - Yes, I wanted it to get
caught between his toes as he was putting on his shoes.
I said I'd come back in a few years
if I don't end up becoming a singer.
Then did your father see the letter?
- Yes, he saw it. / - What happened? Was he mad?
- No. / - Why not?
- He didn't say anything? / - He didn't.
- There was no communication. / - That's right.
You must've needed some money to move to Seoul though.
- As well as living expenses. / - That's right.
I heard you had many part-time jobs.
I'm a bit embarrassed to say this because there are
many others who work harder than me.
I needed a lot of money to pay rent, academy fees,
living expenses and such.
I had to work.
I worked at a bakery in the morning.
It was either a bakery or a sandwich shop.
Then I'd attend academies and practice late at night.
After 10 to 11 p.m., I worked at pubs
- or at chicken shops. / - You must've been popular.
- You were probably very popular. / - When I worked?
Didn't people go wild for you?
Some guys would follow me around.
After I got off work late at night...
What did they say?
There were a few who followed me home
- without saying a word. / - That's scary.
Maybe their house was near that place.
- Maybe you forgot the change. / - No.
I think you're mistaken.
Not giving them change? Come on.
That can happen.
You were also an Internet telephone consultant.
What was that?
- Were you a telemarketer? / - Yes.
I called people and asked them
to switch Internet companies.
Was that when ADSL first came about?
- There were a few companies. / - You're right.
After hearing about ADSL from her,
I can see that she's older.
I did that job for a week,
but I couldn't practice singing
because I had to talk too much.
Her throat must've hurt.
I had to use my voice all day long.
So, I did it only for a week.
Can you show us how you did it?
- Try calling Saeho. / - I'll pick up.
I want to see how you marketed to people.
Hello?
Hello, Sir. I'm calling on behalf of KB Internet.
I'm busy at the moment.
I want to share a good product with you today.
I'm a bit busy.
I see.
Would you hang up right away?
Or do you not like Saeho?
- You should lure me in. / - No. As you know, angry
customers like him never listen to anything I say.
Sojin picked the most difficult part-time job.
- What was it? / - Putting stickers on socks.
- On socks? / - What is that?
The size stickers, right?
- Why is that difficult? / - The speed.
Socks are small, so the assembly speed is very fast.
The conveyer belt flies by.
Yes, they pass by like this.
You're good.
Well done.
Wow.
- She did it well. / - That looked professional.
- Do it again. / - Show us again.
You need to be quick.
You're good.
This is what you do all day long
for five to six hours, which made me dizzy.
- That can happen. / - I got too dizzy once
- and fainted. / - That sounds difficult.
You must've worked with middle-aged women.
I did. So when I fainted,
they put seven yogurt bottles in a bowl
and made me drink it.
When you fainted?
Seven of them gave up their yogurt for the day
in a bowl for you.
- Did you really faint? / - Yes.
Yes, it's rationed. How did you know?
- They gathered theirs for you. / - Yes.
That's when you quit the job.
They told me not to come back.
(You need to quit)
They wanted their yogurt.
What are you saying?
They wanted to save their yogurt.
They said, "Eat well, and don't come back."
"Eat well"?
How much did you get paid?
- Do you remember? / - Back then,
it was about two dollars and 50 cents per hour.
This is the reason why she debuted so late.
How long did this time last?
It was five years.
Didn't your parents do anything for you
over the five difficult years?
Did they just sit-by and observe you?
- Did you talk to them? / - After I left the house,
they came to see my performance for the first time
after three years.
- I think they waited for me. / - I knew it.
Your father must have watched you from the back.
Yes.
I was 23 years old at that time.
That's the prime of youth.
My mother said this as I ate with them after the show.
"Just try until you're 25."
"If it doesn't work out, come home."
- Until 25? / - Yes.
Did things work out for you after you turned 25?
I met with my current agency when I was 25 in January.
I began practicing in March and debuted in July.
What was it like for you?
I'm sure those five years weren't easy.
Didn't you want to give up?
I didn't realize it then.
If someone asked me to repeat the process,
I'm not sure if I can do that.
But I didn't realize it at the time.
(She held onto her dream for five years)
(Without giving up)
(Sojin finally debuted in 2010)
It looks like you've been through a lot.
Yes, Sojin has been through a lot.
But how can your skin look so smooth?
(Skin care is everything for the oldest idol)
- This reveals a new side to her. / - Doesn't it?
What a good kid.
- Isn't she? / - Thank you.
She doesn't look like it, though.
Myungsoo said, "Sojin looks like"
"someone who didn't go through much difficulty."
Or someone with an affluent background, saying,
"Should I try becoming an idol?"
(Life is boring, so why don't I become an idol?)
"Dad, what do you think?"
- "Sure, why not." / - "I'll support you."
That's what she seems like,
but she's not like that.
Not at all.
It says that Yoon Sohui used to sing.
Should we listen to a KAIST student sing?
'I cut my hair, which you liked'
'I met a friend I haven't seen for a while'
If she was my friend,
I would've turned it off.
- I need excitement. / - No, but...
- This is no fun. / - It's not like that.
- Are you kidding me? / - Sohui, are you kidding me?
No, no.
If you're going to act pretty, don't sing.
This wasn't a song...
- Is this how you'll be? / - It's too sad.
- Stay with acting. / - But...
We don't sing like this among friends.
'Give me a call'
'Baby baby'
You need to sing something like this.
'Give me a call, baby baby'
Turn off the machine. She's hopeless.
- My goodness. / - Seriously.
Sol Bi, what about you?
Sol Bi, show her.
Let's do this, Soul G, I mean, Sol Bi.
- Soul G? / - Soul G is from EXID.
Let's play.
You can play on your own.
- She's angry. / - That's how she used to be.
She was like this back then.
You were the lead vocal, too.
'Give me a call, baby baby'
(She destroys it)
'Baby baby'
You sang it like that.
I don't know this song.
You sang well, but the song sounded a bit...
- How should I put this? / - It was country-like.
It sounded too skillful.
I changed my vocal style.
- It's much different. / - How did you sing before?
'Give me a call, baby baby'
- Yes, this is Sol Bi. / - What about now?
'Give me a call'
You're just singing softer.
(Her vocal style seems the same)
You just sang softer.
You just lowered the volume.
Sojin, show us.
- Sojin, come on. / - Sing that line.
- What should I sing? / - That line.
- Do "Give me a call". / - Sing something you want.
- Come on. / - Sing it once.
'Give me a call, baby baby'
'Baby baby'
You were too skillful.
- That's because... / - She's trying to add flair.
A few songs are like this.
Yes, this is a song like that.
'Give me a call, baby baby'
I'm getting dizzy.
We're going to go to another karaoke.
(The two men have different tastes)
- Don't you like this song? / - Sing "Wangsimni".
Mo Palmo and "Swallowtail".
'In the night streets of Wangsimni'
(Dancing Gyein)
'It rains with sadness'
(They look drunk)
'I'm getting energetic'
(This is how you sing)
Sol Bi is a trendsetter who sets a trend in advance.
Are you a year ahead of the trend?
- I have good intuition. / - Really?
As far as fashion trends go,
you need to be just half a season ahead.
But I'm way too ahead for my own good.
- Really? / - Here's an example.
About seven years ago,
I released an album titled "Do It Do It".
- Yes, "Do It Do It". / - At that time,
I collaborated with a cosmetics company
and made my music video.
I had heavy smoky makeup on.
Back then, the concept was unfamiliar to many.
People were shocked.
They said, "What's with her makeup?"
but now it's very trendy.
I can see that. Back then, it would've been odd.
- But this is now trending. / - Yes.
- When was that? / - In 2008.
- In 2008? / - You did this in 2008?
- You were too fast. / - I was.
There are many other examples. Clothes, too.
Are you way ahead with your fashion, too?
- Yes, a bit. / - Is this a year too fast?
Isn't this ten years too late?
- It's from the 80s. / - She didn't just wash it.
I'm into retro style these days.
Can you predict any other trends?
Tell us the things that will be trendy soon.
I'm not saying this because I'm an artist but
I believe the age of artistic entertainers are coming.
Artistic entertainers?
- There are a few of them now. / - Yes.
- Many celebrities do art. / - Yes.
- Ha Jungwoo does exhibitions. / - You're right.
Another famous person is Cho Youngnam.
Sol Bi, your painting was auctioned off
- for 20,000 dollars, right? / - Was it?
Not all of them.
But a few were auctioned off.
That's amazing.
("Daydream", by Sol Bi's art project team, VIVIS)
I wanted to find my own way to paint.
So I put together what I'm good at
and what I like, which is music.
So I found a way to paint with music.
I paint as I dance.
I make a song for each painting
and I dance to paint, then the process is made into
a music video and shared online.
VIVIS.
I dance and paint like that.
- Is that you? / - Yes.
You're good.
Those marks are left from my dancing.
- Is the dance choreographed? / - You used your soles.
- Is everything choreographed? / - Yes.
I practice the dance, too.
This is a form of abstract art which results from
a choreographed dance.
If someone performs the same dance,
will we see the same painting?
Did this genre exist before?
- No, I am the first. / - You're the first to try?
Sol Bi, how did you start painting?
At first, it was part of my therapy.
- During your hard times? / - Yes.
I had no interest in painting before.
One day, I was getting psychological therapy
and the therapist asked me to draw a picture
and I felt healed by drawing.
The good thing was that
I became a singer after dreaming of
being one for a long time.
So I thought I couldn't do anything besides singing.
I was daunted and had low self-esteem.
But I realized that there were other things I could do.
(She gained courage from drawing)
(And Sol Bi became the artistic singer just like that)
And she donates the profits to charity.
It's not that she's drawing pictures for money.
You've become a different person.
I didn't major in drawing in college.
It took me a long time to start.
So I promised myself that
I would donate all the profits from the drawings.
- She looks different. / - I know.
(She's an artistic singer after her image makeover)
I have a question for Heungkook.
He loves soccer
and he's a singer, so he has two different images.
Kim Heungkook is a singer who loves soccer.
Which one would you choose if you had to pick one?
I started playing soccer first when I was 11.
Then I became a singer.
As for my job, I'm a singer.
Soccer is something I love.
You have to choose one between the two.
Would it be easy for you?
We are just asking.
We're asking you to choose one.
Would it be easy for you to choose
between your wife and someone else?
- That's easy. / - I'll choose my wife.
- Wouldn't you choose your wife? / - That's right.
You mean to choose between your wife and mother, right?
That was a good one, Cho Sa.
- Cho Sa? / - I'm Cho Saeho.
Good one, Saeho.
- You are good at this. / - Thank you.
We were talking about image makeover earlier.
And Kim Heungkook is
the king of donation. That's his image.
You've been supporting students
by offering them scholarship.
I'm not the king of donation.
I just donate some money to a scholarship foundation.
I wanted to help
some elementary school students who are in need.
I should volunteer
as a leader of the singers association.
He is the fifth president of Korea Singers Association.
My term as president is three years.
There are a lot of unknown singers in need
and there are a lot of older singers, too.
They have devoted their lives to singing
but some are in need.
They have a hard life, so I should work for them.
I see.
Instead of trying to be funny, you try to look serious
since you became the president of the association.
- Are you worried about your image? / - One word I say
will represent all the singers in the nation,
so I need to be careful.
So I was concerned about appearing in "Happy Together".
- Why? / - Because of your image?
First of all, the pay isn't good.
(He fails in his image makeover)
We've talked about your images in depth.
What is up next?
It is called "What is your preference?"
We will be targeting your preferences.
We will make sure to respond to what you like.
You will see.
(Finding out Gyein and Heungkook's preferences)
We have Heungkook and Gyein.
Are you eating candy while we are shooting?
(Chewing)
I was reestablishing my resolution.
- Okay, go ahead. / - I see.
In the past, when I got tired,
I ate some candy and fought.
- You didn't get hurt? / - I don't care about it.
I was very nervous while we were
moving to another studio.
One of our crew followed Heungkook during the break.
She was worried that he would just leave.
She kept an eye on him. You didn't know that, did you?
They were watching your every movement.
We were worried that you might go home.
I have changed. I'm a different person now.
By the way, I still remember that time.
- It was "Truth Or Dare". / - You are right.
A phone was ringing in the studio all of a sudden.
And he answered the call.
"I'm in the middle of a shoot."
- He said that? / - He was a free man.
At that time, he was a free man.
In fact, I saw him sleeping a few times today.
I just came from Guangzhou.
(He is an international singer)
I just came from Guangzhou this morning.
I'm very tired.
(Despite his tight schedule)
(He flew from China for "Happy Together")
What were you doing in Guangzhou?
I had a drink.
(That's why he's tired)
I'm sorry to say this, but you keep
touching your feet and then rub your eyes right after.
(Oh no)
(Do you have athlete's foot?)
It is good to massage your feet when you feel tired.
(This place looks like a senior's house)
Female guests would love to be in this room.
- I feel somewhat liberated. / - You do?
I was a bit uncomfortable earlier.
It's a lot better here, right?
- Yes. / - Gyein is not here.
But we don't have Jaeseok here.
He's right. We have no consideration for the guests.
We have no consideration.
Why do you have blankets?
Do you want to see their legs?
- They have it to cover their legs. / - I see.
- This is what I was talking about. / - What was that?
- We do that. / - I'd take off your blanket for fun.
- We would. / - I'm going to protect my blanket.
- Let's not embarrass them. / - Please protect it well.
We shouldn't embarrass them.
- Sol Bi, when was your first kiss? / - What?
We've no logic. We'll just talk about anything we like.
We will do it until the end.
When was your first and last kiss?
If the story about your first kiss is fun, we won't ask
- about your last kiss. / - It'll be the most searched.
I think it was when I was a freshman in high school.
In ninth grade.
- With whom? / - It was actually in tenth grade.
Who did you kiss in ninth and tenth grade?
And who did you kiss in eighth grade?
- What about in tenth grade? / - In eighth grade?
You kissed a boy who was tall
when you were in junior high.
You dated him for three years.
(The mean duo)
Don't make things up.
- I'm sorry. / - It's fine.
Hyunmoo, when was your last kiss?
- When was it? / - Let's forget about the kiss.
- When was your last kiss? / - I'm not a guest here.
It's okay. Tell us for the sake of this show.
No, you can't do that.
My last kiss was a week ago.
(A week ago)
(He is a married man)
(Oh boy)
(He's about to cry)
- With your wife? / - With...
Yes.
Honey, kiss me.
Please, Sweetie.
(Smooch)
I will ask about Gyein's preferences first.
We have to talk about his punch
when we talk about Gyein.
You acted as a retired boxer in a movie lately.
It was about a retired boxer.
There is an inextricable link between you and boxing.
- I know. / - So I want to ask you this.
Between Saeho and Poong, who do you think you can beat
if you had to fight with one of them?
- In his opinion? / - Yes.
- He's not answering yet. / - Okay.
Who do you think he would choose?
In fact, I learned martial arts.
He learned capoeira.
- I learned Taekwondo. / - Show us your moves then.
- We want to see capoeira first. / - Did he learn that?
You should watch them first.
- Then I will choose one of them. / - Yes.
Capoeira is all about defending yourself like this.
It goes like this. It is all about defending yourself.
(Dancing)
You keep defending yourself.
Then kick the opponent.
- What was that? / - It's capoeira.
It's Brazilian martial arts.
- What about Taekwondo? / - I will show you.
We don't need to see that.
I will show you.
Like this.
Look at his kicks.
- That's not Taekwondo. / - It's nothing like that.
Sit down.
Now you have to choose one.
Please choose. One, two, three.
(Who will Gyein choose?)
(Unidentified Taekwondo)
(Versus Capoeira which looks like dancing)
Three.
I'd choose Saeho.
(He chooses Cho Saeho)
I knew it!
I chose him because...
- Why did you choose Saeho? / - I have no idea
what Kim Poong showed.
He was defending himself by lowering his upper body.
Then it would be hard for me to punch him.
But I'd be able to easily punch Saeho.
Show us an example with Saeho.
Watch carefully. I'll show you how I punch.
- Oh, no. / - Just stand up.
I've experienced it before.
For example,
I won't get beaten no matter how hard you try.
- I will give it a try. / - Let's do this.
(I will give it a try)
(Flinch)
- You look a bit scared. / - I'm all right.
(You just flinched)
You flinched like this.
What was that? You just flinched.
- I didn't do anything. / - By the way,
Gyein has a reputation
of bluffing. I will share them with you.
Can you believe this? He was trying to hit a cow.
He hit a cow when he was younger
and his arm became shorter.
After hitting a cow?
Why would the arm get shorter?
- That doesn't make any sense. / - It really happened.
It is ridiculous.
- Even now... / - It's quite even now.
- Look. / - But...
- Stretch them out. / - Stretch them straight forward.
- Let's see. / - See what?
Relax this arm.
- Straight forward. / - Let me remind you of last time.
He said his right arm was shorter but he got confused,
so he stretched them out and switched arms.
- But... / - He switched arms.
- My arms are a different story. / - Okay.
After playing pool, I landed...
Let me explain that story.
He couldn't pay for his pool game, so he slid down
- the drainpipe. / - The water pipe.
- It broke while he slid down. / - Oh dear.
So he fell down between the walls.
He hit the side of the walls as he came down.
- It's true. / - Does that make sense?
I would believe it,
but not even Spider-Man can do that.
You're a human, not a rubber ball.
I was on the fifth floor
- and I had to get out. / - The fifth floor?
The two buildings were this far apart.
I didn't just fall. I fell like this.
(Do you expect us to believe that?)
- Oh, come on. / - What?
- From the fifth floor. / - It's possible in fiction.
I jumped out of a five-story window
and landed really hard on the ground.
Your arms are the same length.
What?
I landed
so hard that
Your arms are just fine.
But now
my legs are uneven.
My goodness.
I landed like this.
What nonsense is that?
(Here's the third tall tale)
I have
a fear of water. It's a phobia.
I can't swim.
I was at this indoor pool.
The water's deep under the diving boards.
I was standing on the board and someone pushed me in.
I think the water was about ten meters deep.
- Yes, it's deep. / - I went deep down.
- An indoor pool? / - Yes.
- Five meters, then. / - No.
- At an indoor pool? / - Indoor pools aren't that deep.
Never mind. Anyway,
I sank deep down.
I thought I was going to die.
It took me five minutes to walk
until my head broke the surface.
I walked out.
- You walked underwater? / - Like this.
I walked out.
- You walked underwater? / - Like this.
- Underwater. / - We're buoyant.
- Underwater? / - It's hard to walk underwater.
It's hard even if you're weighed down with lead.
You walked out?
I walked out.
I would beat a swimmer by just walking.
You can't walk
- and beat a swimmer. / - You should've doggy-paddled.
You walked?
Don't you sink?
I'd bounce up, walk, bounce and walk again.
He walked like this.
Now we have to discuss Heungkook, too.
You might not have it,
- but in my heyday, / - Yes?
- I was flying to another city. / - All right.
- People... / - This story is the
exaggerated boast that I wanted to talk about.
Which one?
- The people asking for / - You know that story, then.
his autographs made the plane tilt over to one side.
How is that...
- This is like a folk-tale. / - In the air?
I never saw anything like that.
- That can't be. / - That's how popular I used to be.
This story is worse than my arm story.
My story...
I still think you beat him.
- That's not all. / - What?
I heard this personally in the car.
- Which one? / - The cow didn't cause his arm issue.
He said he got into 10,000 brawls.
- Ten thousand? / - Yes.
So I did some calculations at home.
If he were to have 10,000 brawls,
he would've had to fight for 40 years since he was five
at least twice within a three day span.
- That's 250 times a year. / - It doesn't make sense.
No, you don't seem to understand.
I fought like this since the day I was born.
I'd fight with anyone or anything that was next to me.
Did you fight with the pillow first?
- That's not fighting. / - With pillows?
Did you fight inanimate objects?
You fought every day?
Every single day.
(So dignified)
There's another story.
The roller coaster.
Gyein didn't want to ride a roller coaster,
but everyone urged him on, so he said,
"Jaeseok took a beating from me because of this."
I said I almost hit him.
I was never hit before.
I said I almost hit you.
I'm afraid of heights.
You're afraid of heights,
but you jumped out a window?
- That's because I had to escape. / - Sure.
- I got it. / - Nothing makes sense.
Jaeseok, why did we come in here anyway?
To talk in-depth.
You said earlier that you wish to talk more.
- I thought there'd be more. / - Oh.
Are we here to tell tall tales?
They aren't tall tales.
I don't tell tall tales.
(Are you sure?)
Are you saying he does?
He has his own style.
I'll ask you again.
Does he tell tall tales?
A few of the stories he said sounds weird even to me.
But I'm an honest man.
Let's talk about Heungkook now.
- Let's talk about his preferences. / - Shall we?
We'll look into your preferences.
You have a free plane ticket.
It's free?
- Yes. / - And?
Where would you go? I'd love to find out.
Would you attend the 2018 Russia World Cup,
or would you visit your family in the U.S.?
(Oh, no)
The U.S.
Why?
That trip costs more.
- So he'll go to the U.S.? / - Yes.
I say he'd go to Russia for the World Cup for free,
then invite his family over.
- He'll go to Russia? / - Yes.
What is your choice, Heungkook?
Russia or the U.S.?
Ready. One, two, three.
(What's his preference?)
(Family in the U.S. versus World Cup in Russia)
- Three. / - Saeho.
I said so.
You'd go to Russia?
It's a promise I keep every four years.
- See? / - But your family...
- But... / - See, my wife
knows that I love soccer.
If I were to kneel and beg...
We all know Heungkook's love for the sport.
- You paid at your own expense. / - I did.
- You turned down a radio show. / - Yes.
The financial loss alone must be huge.
Even I think that
it's a crazy thing to do.
(For over 20 years)
(He's attended every match)
It's like an addiction.
I don't know why I do it.
My wife says,
"Are you invited? Is someone paying for you?"
She has a point,
but if I'm not there,
I feel and think that the Korean players can't manage.
This started in the 90s.
You went to the World Cup in the U.S.
Yes, in 1994.
We didn't even have flags,
so I bought some and handed them out.
I know.
I even painted some.
I have a heart-warming story.
I was in Brazil
when a college student
came up to me.
He said he was asked to take a picture with me.
I guess he did well in college
because his parents asked what he wanted to do.
He said he wanted to go to the World Cup.
His parents told him,
"You are bound to see Kim Heungkook there."
They agreed to pay his expenses
if he found me and took a picture together.
When I heard that,
it all felt worthwhile.
- Definitely. / - It was great.
- I saw you in Brazil. / - We met.
He was wearing this weird hat.
- He wore the World Cup hat. / - Yes.
Heungkook, can't you have dressed a bit better?
It's my soccer outfit.
Is it?
(What a mess)
That broke my heart.
Heungkook made pledges for each World Cup.
In 2002, he did 2,002 deep bows.
In 2012, I remember this.
- He shaved his moustache. / - Yes.
I had a ceremony.
- You did? / - What?
Do you know what you'll do for the 2018 World Cup?
You're asking me already?
(Concerned)
Well...
- Time flies. / - It's early.
Do you feel the pressure?
I don't have much hair left.
Leftover hair...
Do something with your white hair.
White hair is still hair.
Gyein.
Don't treat it so lightly.
What do you think Heungkook should do
for the next World Cup?
- In 2018, / - Yes?
he should purchase 20,180
dollars' worth of alcohol.
- What, 20,180 dollars? / - Who will pay, then?
You said you did 2,002 something before.
I bowed 2,002 times.
- Not money? / - It's free.
It's just physical.
Shadow boxing, then.
How about taking 20 million plus jabs?
That doesn't sound too easy.
- Then... / - The 10,000 brawls...
All those fights...
- To perform 20 million plus jabs... / - That's absurd.
Just donate 20,180 dollars.
I'll tell you how.
- How? / - Listen.
You need two, one dollar bills.
And one, 100 dollar bills.
Then eight, 10 dollar bills.
- That's all you need to give. / - What logic is that?
If Heungkook said
he'd donate 20,180 dollars
and showed up with that amount
You need two, one dollar bills.
- And one, 100 dollar bills. / - What?
Then eight, 10 dollar bills.
- That adds up to 20,180 dollars. / - No, it doesn't.
- That's just 182 dollars. / - In actuality...
- It's 182 dollars. / - I'll take care of it myself.
I'll take care of it myself.
You can stay in Korea
and walk out of the five-meter-deep pools.
Watch the matches while walking out.
- That's what you can do. / - At my age?
That happened 40 years ago.
All of a sudden,
you took two dollars and 180 dollars and went,
"Here's 182 dollars."
(How did it end?)
He said 182 dollars!
And Gyein said
something about punching 20 million plus times.
(Please hold for five years)
(Cheer up, Korean national soccer team!)
- It hurts to laugh. / - He punches 20 million times.
Me?
- Sol Bi's up next. / - You're up, Sol Bi.
What are your preferences?
You said you benefited from art therapy.
Please choose the person that needs
treatment in your opinion.
Myungsoo or me?
They're doing their best. Their drawing is so cute.
They are trying their best.
- Did you finish drawing? / - Yes.
I wanted to draw a peaceful village decorated with
streams and trees.
This is what I wanted to draw.
It looks like you really want to take a rest.
(He needs to rest)
Everyone can say that.
That's not it. It tells me that you are very tired.
- You drew grass. / - That's right.
Those represent your spiky feelings
and you colored it in green,
which implies that you are looking for a resting place.
She makes sense. I want to rest.
How about Myungsoo's?
That's a difficult one.
What is that? A car?
- Yes, it's a truck. / - You want to leave home?
I am driving with the headlights on.
You look like you are being chased.
That's right. I am being hunted.
I might get arrested soon.
When you draw a car,
people rarely draw a trunk.
Usually, people draw a sedan.
So it seems like there's burden on your shoulders.
You have a lot of weight on your shoulders.
You must feel much pressured.
That's right. Myungsoo needs
- to get treatment soon. / - Art therapy won't do.
You need to seek professional advice.
I need to take pills.
I need both pills and counseling.
(Myungsoo, you should put all the weight down)
Let's find out what Sojin likes.
Let's say you got two pictorial offers.
Will you rather be a 30-year-old sexy lady
or a bubbly girl in her 20s?
I think she'd go for the latter.
She has a desire to constantly stay
young and beautiful.
- I choose sexy. / - The 30-year-old sexy lady.
Sexy. All the kids are bubbly.
Have you seen a kid who is not bubbly?
How can you not be bubbly when you are young?
However, you need to act your age
- and be as sexy as you can be. / - That's right.
Is it sexy or bubbly? Ready. One, two, three.
Sexy.
(Myungsoo successfully got the answer)
- It's a personal question. / - A personal question?
Being 30 is not too old.
- Of course. / - You're old to be in an idol group.
When do you realize that
you are the oldest in the group?
I hesitate whenever the concept is lovely or cute.
I think about how to blend in
with the other girls in the group.
Doesn't this happen? When you're on stage,
other girls do just fine, but your knees hurt.
And when others are dancing, you are gasping for air.
Did that ever happen?
- I did an event with Roo'Ra. / - I see.
They couldn't speak anymore after performing one song.
(Exhausted)
After dancing a little, you'd gasp.
But it really happens.
When I am playing music, I get excited at first.
The young ones have fun. But after about ten minutes...
(He runs out of strength in just ten minutes)
- He starts to groan. / - And
the dry ice makes it harder to breathe.
(Worn out)
Go! Go!
- Did that ever happen? / - Tell us honestly.
Did you feel anything?
- Are you all right? / - Honestly, in my group,
I have the most stamina when we dance.
(She's got the best stamina)
(She can be bubbly and dance powerfully)
(She can handle anything)
It's called "Ring My Bell".
Oh, "Ring My Bell".
This is how it goes. You ride the horse for a while.
And you have to go faster. I do this.
It may be a filthy dance if you don't do it properly.
She has to be careful.
Ready. One, two, three, four.
'Ring ring my bell' You got it all wrong.
You have to do it like this.
'Ring ring my bell'
'Ring Ring'
- It's like this, right? / - Do it like me.
(Is he paying homage to Bae Samryong?)
Let's not bring up the past.
People are not laughing much.
The producer is asking us to wrap it up.
Don't put me to shame.
You told me to do this dance.
You think I should be doing this when I'm 50?
Should I?
I'm 50 years old and I'm dancing like this.
I'm doing this in front of them.
And now you want me to stop?
His knees come all the way up here.
(We will be back next week!)
