It's one of the last shantytowns in Seoul. It's called the Bukjeong village.
The roommates will meet their neighbors in Seongbukdong.
Just what kind of neighbors will they meet?
What's up, Grandma?
[The tough counterattack of the elderly.]
[Roommate vs. Bukjeong Elderly.] [Which team will come out victorious?]
- Also... - We've got mail.
- Nice timing. - Finland!
- The Finnish embassy has invited us. - Wow.
Are we going to Finland?
The ambassador of Finland, requests the company of 'Roommate' at a luncheon.
What do you think will occur at the ambassador's residence?
Cheers!
[They play traditional games together.]
[They make Finland cuisine together.]
[Even if they can't understand each other, they understand each other's feelings.]
Learn.
Share.
Have fun!
Home share, whole share. Roommate will start now.
[First story: How to get friendly with your neighbors.]
Let's go over here...
Jong Ok, your outfit is awesome. It's the same as Jackson.
- Right? Don't we look like twins? - Let me see your pants. Go up front.
Yo! It looks as if you two took a dump!
MC Hammer!
- Is that it? - It's here!
It's a minibus. Let's hurry up and get on it.
Let's ask.
Mister, does this bus go to Bukjeong Village?
How much is it? 850 won? One, two... the fare is 850 won.
- I have money. - We need to pay him 6,500 won.
Mister, here's 10,000 won.
Oh my gosh.
Mister, the change you're giving me is all 100 won?
- He gave him 10,000 won. - The change is all coins.
[So many coins he can't grab them all at once.]
- Is everyone on? - Did you give him 10,000 won?
[Will they be able to make it to Bukjeong Village safely?]
- Do you live in Seongbukdong? - Yes.
How long have you lived there?
- 34 years. - Wow.
- 34 years? - Yes.
- It's a nice place to live with clean air. - Of course.
But, there are a lot of elderly people. All the young people moved to apartments.
- So, those people continue to live there? - Yes.
Right now, we're heading to Bukgyeong Village.
Bukjeong!
[The last stop for the bus is Bukjeong Village.]
The name of the village came from a tiny well at the north side of the capital.
It's a pretty village in Seoul that is frozen in time of the seventies.
- Drive safely! - Thank you.
They finally arrived at Bukjeong Village.
- Hello. - Wow, what is this
- It's pancakes! - Wow.
What are all these pictures?
- Pictures from the past. - I see.
They are from a long time ago.
- I saw you a lot on TV. - High-five!
- Yo, reggae man. - Do we just go around here?
[His hair has transformed into dreadlocks of dried eggplants.]
- Hey man. - It's dried eggplants.
[The kind lady is feeding Joon Hyung some pancakes.]
- Wow! - That's how you're supposed to eat it.
- It's delicious. - Good, good.
[A bite for Jackson as well!]
- It's spicy. - It has peppers in it.
[Tons of hot peppers have been mixed into the pancakes!]
[Jackson can't eat spicy foods very well.]
Yes, thank you.
[Everyone is enjoying it except for him.]
Ma'am your hands are so plump and lovely.
- I'm old. They're all wrinkly! - No!
[There isn't a single Korean dish that doesn't have peppers in it...]
You guys are drinking during the day. Yo, So-juice!
So-juice!
The members are walking around the village.
Look at this hole-in-the-wall shop.
They used to have these kinds of stores in neighborhoods a long time ago.
- Hello. - Hello.
Ma'am, what are you doing to your hair right now?
- I'm perming my hair. - Ah, a perm!
That's great. Your perm is going to be awesome.
Let's shake hands.
We live in this neighborhood too.
- We live over there. - That's what we heard.
We were really curious about the area so we're exploring the neighborhood.
It'll start growing on you as time goes by.
Thank you so much. I hope you two live a long and healthy life.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Let's go.
- Jong Ok, it just feels good. - It's peaceful.
It would be nice if these neighborhoods were preserved.
But, these apartment buildings keep developing in the city.
It's all apartments.
I'll read it.
Let's live on the clouds.
'Yidi' is there another place as nice as this? 'Ula Uneo.'
- What does 'yidi' mean? - 'Yidi, yidi.'
Where, where! It's where not 'yidi'!
- Where is it? - It's not where!
- It's been erased. - No, it hasn't been written at all!
It's right here. Look.
And this means, 'Let's laugh.' You read it wrong.
- 'Let's live on the clouds.' - That doesn't make sense.
- Right at the end. - This is how it's spelled.
- 'Let's smile and live.' - Right.
'Where is there another place as nice as this? 'Ula Uneo.'
- 'Smile, let's smile.' - Correct!
In English, a word can have multiple meanings depending upon the situation.
- It's the same with Korean. - That's true.
'Let's smile and live.'
'Where is there another place as nice as this?'
'Let's smile.'
The people of Bukjeong Village find joy in the simplest of things.
Seeing them smile brightly really makes you feel good.
[The last shantytown in Seoul.]
What is this?
- It looks really elegant. - Isn't that a pavilion?
- It's a place of rest. - Hello.
- Ma'am, are we allowed to sit here? - Yes.
Can we sit here?
Does this belong to you?
It's belongs to the neighborhood.
The village I used to live in all looked like this.
But, everything changed once the apartments came in.
- It's really nice. - I'm getting nostalgic.
Ryohei, get a recording of that side over there.
[The many apartment buildings below the hill.]
[And this place is still cherishing the past.]
It's almost as if time has stopped.
[Meanwhile, at the shared house...]
I'm in trouble.
This keeps popping open every time I button it.
Wow, Gook Ju looks beautiful in a traditional gown.
[They've never been invited to an embassy before.]
[Everyone is excited.]
[Diligently, practicing the Finnish language.]
These four people are heading off to the home of the Finnish ambassador.
What kind of neighbors will they meet?
It feels like, Gook Ju and I are the parents.
Nana's the oldest and you're our baby boy.
Gook Ju is our mother.
So, we'll be going there today.
To grandma's house.
The Jo residence. Jo Kang Joon and Jo Nana.
Jo Kang Joon! Jo Nana!
Kang Joon, what time did you come home last night?
I drank with my friends yesterday.
You little rascal. Did I or did I not tell you to come home early?
- Don't worry about it. - It's not the time to have fun right now!
You have to go to college! How many times have you been rejected already?
Mom, leave him alone!
You little brat, going out and about with all that makeup... look at these shorts!
- They look like underwear! - This is all the rage these days!
This is how you're supposed to wear them.
I swear, why do we start our mornings with a shouting match every time?
Nana, you look exactly like me when I was young.
[Yeah right!]
Stop stressing me out.
Stress? Don't take my nagging as being stressful.
I say these things because I care about you.
- Be quiet, Mom. - What did you say?
You don't tell your mother to be quiet.
I'm telling you, it's useless raising your own children.
- I'm going to decrease your allowance. - Dad!
Give me some of that allowance.
What's the point of giving them 10 million won a month?
- That's not enough. - You give the kids 10 million won a month?
You only give me 100 thousand won.
I use that money to cook and clean.
But you give your children 10 million won a month?
Since they're you're flesh and blood, right? I see.
My poor fate!
Mom, shouldn't you put your hair up?
Help your mother with her hair and tie it up with the ribbon.
[Everyone is having a good time at the moment.]
This must be it.
I'm getting nervous all of a sudden.
[Touching up.]
- Mom, let's go. - Sure
Your mother was quite lovely when she was young.
I married your mother because of her beauty.
I looked exactly like Nana.
Then that means Nana is going to look like your mother later on.
Located in Northern Europe. Finland is a country of forest and lakes!
A beautiful and natural environment.
A famous country known for their world-renowned buildings and modern designs.
- We're ready. - Let's go.
[What kind of people are the Finnish ambassador and his wife?]
What do we do if we can't understand each other? I'm so nervous.
[Nervous.]
Someone's coming.
Hello.
- Hyvaa! - Hello!
- Hyvaa! - Hyvaa!
[They are warmly welcoming the 'Roommate' family.]
- Hyvaa. - Hello.
I noticed there is some famous group just in our neighborhood.
Ah, really?
We're are so happy that we could invite you to our home. Very good.
- This is one ticket, four person okay? - Okay.
- I can understand your English. - You understood everything?
A delightful, first meeting with Ambassador Matti Heimonen
and his wife, Hilkka Heimonen.
There's no need to take shoes off, it's fine. Shoes are fine.
She told us not to takes our shoes off.
- Put them back on! Quickly! - How embarrassing.
- Why are you so slow? - I'm almost done.
Kang Joon, you're even slower.
Yes please. Come in.
Everyone, welcome to the home of the Finnish Ambassador.
The house is filled with various items and charming pieces from Finland.
Do you think the members will adjust well to
their first time at an ambassador's home?
What about having a glass of champagne?
Champagne?
Ah, champagne. [Where? Where?]
Champagne? Okay, thank you so much.
[A sincere and instinctive reaction.]
- It's his birthday today. - Your birthday? Wow!
Wow.
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Happy birthday
[Gook Ju seems to be the most happiest right now.]
Wow! It's the best birthday ever today.
If it overflows, do this.
- Okay, happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
- Thank you. - Thank you, very much.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
[Gulping it down.]
- One more time. - Yeah, one more.
- One more time. - That was so so.
Korean style.
[All together now.]
Mrs. Heimonen seems to like Goo Ju, don't you think?
- Do know what a 'Hanbok' is? - Yes, it's really beautiful.
- Korean... way of greeting. - Okay, okay.
Ari, Arirang. Sseuri, Sseurirang
Okay. [So adorable.]
[It's about time to get up now.]
[Trying to be funny even as she bows.]
[Bravo!]
One more time, no.
He kind of looks like someone...
You Iron Man. You look like Robert Downey Jr.
- Wow. - He's handsome.
Thank you.
Let's give them our gift.
- This is a present for you. - Oh wow.
You got that!
- You know this? - She must like it.
Ah... summer wife.
Ah! She's right! Summer wife.
Wow! You got sense!
Wow, sense queen!
I'm alone here during the summer time and she will be in Finland.
Then I have this.
Thank you very much.
- Give them the second gift. - Of course.
Traditional games were given to the couple
so that can know more of the Korean culture.
[What is it used for?] Gonggi!
- Gonggi? - Gonggi.
I've never seen it before.
Throw it and catch it.
[It's hard.] No.
It's hard. [Shall I give it a try?]
[He caught it!]
Okay, one more time.
[Grab two this time!]
[Gook Ju the pro will show how it's done.]
[Wow.]
Was this cool?
Three this time.
- Wow. - Okay.
[The highlight of 'Gonggi'!]
[Can she do it?]
[Unbelievable.] You are like a professional! Wow!
Wow! It's been 10 years since I've played this game!
- At that same time... - Look at that.
When we talked about it last time, it goes for about 17.8 km.
- That wall there. - That one?
- The Great Wall? - Yeah, the Great Wall of Seongbukdong.
- The Great Wall of Korea? - Yes.
- The Great Wall of Korea. - Ah, really?
Among the tall buildings and apartments in Seoul
Bukjeong Village is the closest to the sky.
['Roommate' in Bukjeong Village.]
[They stopped by at the elderly pavilion after their exploration of the village.]
Hello.
- Hello. - Mister, you look cool.
- You're cooler. - Not at all.
- You even have sunglasses on. - You're the cool one.
We even have the same hair color. Yeah!
[Huh? What is this?]
Whoa!
- Is it a game? - Yes, it's a game of Yut.
[Game of Yut?]
It's 'Mo'! You got a 'Mo'!
- You just have to throw it? - You throw it and those sticks flip.
You keep going until...
[The foreigners are completely clueless.]
It's a 'Mo, Yut!'
You guys are on fire today.
[Huh? That lady is...]
[Jong Ok, the grandfather's fairy.]
Look at her. I've seen her a lot on TV.
[Mr. Bae Jong Ok, you don't know this woman?]
- You look prettier in person. - Ah, thank you.
Hey, you can't throw them one at a time. You have to throw all four together.
As usual, her popularity is unbelievable.
Throw it. Just throw it like this.
Good job!
- What is it? - It's a 'Mo.' You got a 'Mo.'
What's so great about it? I just threw it?
[He's from Hong Kong.]
[Ryohei, is also going to give it a try...]
[Acting like a superior.]
Here he goes. Okay, okay.
It's a 'Yut!'
[Is.. is that a good thing?]
'Yut' is the best one.
'Mo' is the best one.
'Mo' is the second best one.
Let's split into teams of four and play now.
What's your name?
[Kim Yeon Ki!]
Ah, he's the person who danced hip hop with us.
[The best dancer in Bukjeong Village.]
Mr. Yeon Ki. The king of hip hop.
Grandpa Kim Yeon Ki, the king of hip hop of Bukjeong Village.
Grandpa Jung Hyo Ho, the master of the 'Yut' game.
Grandpa Go Sung Chul, the legendary 'Yut' player of Bukjeong Village.
Grandpa Hwang Nam Yeon, the man with the poker face and white rubber shoes.
Bukjeong Village's top team, Bukjeong H4.
This is the president of our senior citizen association.
I'll introduce our team as well. My name is Bae Jong Ok.
Here is the 'Roommate' team.
With the help of their captain, Bae Jong Ok, Joon Hyung, Ryohei and Jackson
will play their first game of 'Yut.'
Do you think this match will go well?
- The losing team buys rice wine. - Sounds good.
Rice wine, nice.
Fighting!
[An unidentified man with a red hat has entered.]
[Who is he?]
[What's with the water?]
[He's doing that so we can have a proper match.]
[Cleaning the straw mat before the game begins.]
[Nervous.]
It's going down!
[The Bukjeong H4 is fired up.]
This isn't for fun anymore. You know what I mean, right?
- Prepare to lose. - It's war!
This is the real deal.
[Anxiety it hanging over the pavilion.]
[However... team 'Roommates' skill level is a lot more serious than we thought.]
'Do!'
- It's toe! - Okay, toe! TO!
[Toe man.]
- 'Gae' is dog, right? - Right.
Dog! What's up, dog!
'Gul' is good too. Yeah, girls. Pretty 'gul.'
It's a 'yut!'
'Yut' gaejang (spicy beef soup)!
'Mo!' What about 'Mo?'
- Mole, mole! - Mole!
'Mo' what?
- 'Mo.' - 'Mo.'
What? 'Mo?'
Let's go!
It's a 'Nak!'
[Meanwhile... the grandpas...]
- It's here! - It's a 'Mo!'
Come on, 'Yut!'
- That's right! - It's a 'Yut!'
[Anyone can see they are no match for Bukjeong H4.]
I think that guy did something behind our backs when he sprinkled the water on here.
Take a look at the mat.
You guys did something. We're not going to to go easy on you guys now.
Look!
We're losing because that man did something to mat while he sprinkled the water on it.
Right?
- We were really good before. - You're right! It's because of the water!
[Too much water was poured on the mat.]
The Bukjeong H4 team is in the lead.
They will win the game if a 'Gul' comes out.
[It is now the experts turn to play.]
It's going to be a 'Gae!'
We have a chance to turn this around.
[You wish...]
It's a 'Gae!'
'Nak!' It's a 'Nak!'
- I saw it! - It's a 'Nak!'
- Who's next? - We have a chance now.
- Go, Jackson! GOT7! - I hope it's a good one.
It's a 'Do.'
- It's a 'Gae.' - That's fine.
It's the man with the rubber shoes!
It's a 'Do.'
[Anything beyond a 'Gae' and the grandpas will win.]
I hope we get a 'Mo!'
It's going to be a 'Mo!' Hold on.
[That's not going to be easy.]
Hold it closely like this.
[Hoping to get a 'Mo' by throwing it that way?]
Okay, we're going to get a 'Mo.'
[Anxiety is hanging over the 'Yut' board.]
- It's a 'Mo.' - 'Mo!'
- What is this? - Good, good!
[What is it? What is it?]
It's a 'Mo!'
- We won! - We got a 'Mo!'
We won!
[They killed two birds with a stone.]
[Hail to the JYP ancestors!]
[Looking haggard all of a sudden.]
[Goodness...]
Joon Hyung, throw it one more time!
- 'Gae?' - We got it! It's over!
[The great rebellion of the rookie 'Yut' players.]
What a comeback.
[The grandpa's have to start from scratch with two stones.]
[The roommates need a 'Gul' or beyond.]
All we need is a 'Mo' or a 'Gul.'
Look at this form.
[Kim Yeon Ki, the hip hop king of Bukjeong Village.]
[Yeon Ki, we're counting on you...]
Yo, Yeon Ki! YG!
[Bukjeong H4s last hope.]
[Huh?]
[Three 'Yuts' landed outside the mat.]
[How could that happen...]
[Sorry man.]
[YG has crushed their last hope.]
The grandpas are slowly walking away from the game.
- It's a 'Yut!' - We won!
[The 'Roommate' team won.]
Please buy us rice wine now.
We can't allow the elders to do that. We'll buy it.
I have 3,000 won on me right now.
Hurry up! [Start the rice wine party!]
Our grandpas!
- Rice wine! - We had fun today.
We had a great time today.
- That's not how you do it! - Why?
You're supposed to shake the rice wine like this.
May you all live a long and healthy life.
- Please continue to do what you do. - Thank you.
Cheers!
Hey, that's your song.
- I'm working on it. - Show them what you got.
- Mister! - Yo, Jackson!
Jackson! [A dance battle between JYP and YG.]
- Yo, yo, yo! - It's a rematch!
A hip hop battle between JYP and YG!
[They even switched hats with each other.]
Jackson!
Oh yeah! Hip hop!
A village of endless smiles and laughter.
The roommates experienced a lot of wonderful things at this place.
What do you think will happen at the ambassador's residence?
We have a wonderful view from here.
Let's take a look.
- That's the Finnish flag. - This is so nice.
- What's Finland's national song? Korea... - You mean the national song?
Until that day when the waters of the Eastern
sea run dry and Mt. Baekdu is worn away
[The ambassador's wife is singing the Finland national anthem.]
- Wow! - She's really good at singing!
- Korean pop. - Korean pop? Yeah!
- She's very famous in Korea. - Very good.
- The little dancing Catellena - Wow!
Without knowing, I'm falling for you
[Bravo!]
We could go to the kitchen. To prepare the food.
- You want to go and make food? - Yeah!
- Sorry! I'm going to take her. - For some reason I understood her.
- We're going to eat, right? - Bye!
- I'm hungry. Bye! - Bye!
The ambassador's wife must really like Gook Ju.
Please enter.
- Wow! - It's very simple.
Yes.
Wow! [It's food!]
That will be for you!
- Wow. - Cover your Hanbok.
The Hanbok can't get dirty.
So you will not... destroy it.
- You might have some difficulty. - Yeah, you do it.
Long! Short! [This is too short!]
So... you wait here. Just a moment, I'll be back.
Just a moment. She wants us to wait.
[Salmon.]
- It's salmon. - Salmon!
- Salmon, oh my! It's beautiful! - Wow.
Color is beautiful. The color is beautiful.
[It's shining brilliantly.]
- We will smoke the salmon. - Smoke.
So, you just put salt on it. A lot of salt.
Salt, salt, salt.
A lot?
- Yes. - Okay.
Because we smoke it.
- Like this? - Yeah, more.
- More, more? - Yes, yes.
Ah, I think she's going to cook it on top of that.
Ah, fire?
Yeah. [Learning to cook with sounds.]
Okay, now it's good. Yes.
- Then, you put two sugars. - Sugar, sugar, sugar.
- Sugar? - Yeah.
Yeah, fine. Good.
- Finished? - Yes.
- So, this is the smoke oven. - Wow!
- Green oven? - Yes. That one.
Yes.
Good.
It's really soft.
Yes.
[She really likes Gook Ju.]
So, that's how you do it. Wow, how neat.
It's like grilled salmon.
- Then, we just close the whole oven. Okay. - How neat.
- Okay, okay. - Thank you.
- Now we would... yes finished! - Finished?
This is something you might know as well.
- Isn't that Poong Poong? - This is Poong Poong.
- We have this at our house. - You have one?
- Really? - Yes.
- This is a Finland character? - Yes.
- Really? This is a Finland character? - Yes.
- You know this one? Yes. - Angry bird.
- Finland? - Finland.
- Really? - Wow.
[A fact we didn't know. Finland is a far, but close country.]
- Wow. - There's a lot of neat things here.
Ah, it smells like a sauna!
Wow, it's warm. That's awesome.
Sauna's are really popular in Finland.
- But... - Hot, hot, hot!
Sauna is so important for us in Finland that every family has a sauna.
Ha, hot, hot, ha, hot, hot, ha
[A traditional Finland Sauna.]
Normally, in a Finnish sauna, we have water here.
And just throw the water on the hot stove.
The word sauna... did it come from Finland?
Yes.
The word is Finnish. You already knew the Finnish word, sauna.
Of course we can clean ourselves in the sauna, but the main thing is to relax.
Gook Jook looks very hot in her Hanbok.
- It's an excellent feeling. - You don't look so good.
- Wow, it's really hot in here. - Wow, it's really hot.
I'm the only one who's sweating right now.
They set this up really nice.
Can you see my sweat? Am I sweating?
[Who knew they would be going into a sauna at the ambassador's residence...]
Excuse me, we finished in the sauna and now we 're hungry.
Yes.
Okay. Gook Ju, do you think your food is ready?
Okay, okay, okay!
[Okay! It's all done!]
[The Finnish ambassador is smiling at Gook Ju's antics.]
Okay, okay! Hey, come on!
The members are heading to the dining room after their brief time in the sauna.
[A Finnish lunch that the ambassador and his wife have prepared.]
- Let's drink now after that Finnish Sauna. - We need to drink some water, anyway.
- We do need to drink water. - Cheers.
[Se Ho, what are you doing?]
- This is a nice glass. - How is that possible?
It makes noise
Wow.
It's not supposed to make noise like this.
It's because the glass is nice.
I'm going to ask him what kind of Korean dishes he likes to eat.
Bulgogi, kimchi...
- Samgyupsal (pork belly). - Samgyupsal? Oh!
- Samgyupsal! - Pork. Do you understand?
Why is he looking at me when he's talking about pork?
Pork.
Why are you looking at me while you're talking about pork?
Please look in that direction. Why do all foreigners do that? Ryohei did it too!
Do you enjoy eating this?
- It's a pig, right? - Excuse me?
Why did you look at me when you said that?
- Nobody can play pork. - You should.
Oh wow! Yes!
Very good.
- We have a farm here. - Yeah.
[I can't lose!]
- He's got skills! - One more time! One more.
[A battle of animal mimicry!]
Very good.
[Ambassador Mattei wins.]
Cheers.
Is this the white trout?
An appetizer of soft white trout and the smoked salmon Nana and Gook Ju made.
The table is full of Finland's dishes.
[Important memories with the Finnish ambassador and his wife...]
Dear friends I think we can say we're friends now.
Thank you for coming to join us today and
I hope we can keep in touch with you because you're our neighbors.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
And this how the roommates made such delightful neighbors.
[Thank you for this wonderful memories.]
After meeting their neighbors that day in the afternoon...
The members have agreed to decorate their own rooms.
[Second story: Thornback and turmoil.]
- You saw it? - What is this?
Should you place one of these in one of their rooms tonight?
What if they chew us out?
What is this?
They wouldn't dare.
- Did you see that? - What
[Oh my... what is that?]
It's pictures of me.
How neat. How could she look exactly the same?
You guys got work done. What would you know?
Gook Ju.
You guys got work done. What would you know?
I didn't fix anything so I look the same in every picture.
I never change.
What, what, what? I've always looked like this.
People who say they are pretty now are liars!
It's all cosmetic surgery!
Where is she going with that picture?
[Is she really going to place it in Jackson's room?]
Where should I put it?
[Should I set it here?]
He's going to be scared.
Oh my god.
Oh my god!
There's a lot of people I know that like someone among us.
- Who? - Jackson.
Of course. All the guys that I know like Young Ji.
- What about me? - Nope.
- I'm old news now? - There's no one. It's all about Young Ji.
They only ask about Young Ji.
- Not even one person? - There's no one.
The end!
No guys like you because you sit like this.
You're supposed to act like a lady. What is this?
Come on, close your legs.
You guys have a lot to learn from me.
How should we sit? Please show us.
[Gently!]
Even if your legs start to cramp up!
Gook Ju! She's pointing her feet.
Sitting with your legs together is really hard for me.
Look, all you have to do is sit down carefully.
You brats are never going to find a man.
What do we do with our hands? Like this.
There's something like this too. The women were doing this in the movie.
Like this.
You show everything when you do that.
You're flashing your chest when you bend over.
Young Ji, why are you so messed up?
[Sexy wave.]
No, don't ever do that.
If there's a person there and you do something
like this, you think they'll like that?
I didn't know that. [How about this?]
I've used that trick before.
When I was less fat.
If there were people around, I would stick my butt out like this and just wait.
This is pretty easy. We just have to follow the instructions.
[Iron man light.] This is the problem.
[Fun lights to put on the wall.]
We have to do it well the first time around.
[All they have to do is hang the lights after the sticker is placed on the wall!]
Dong Wook, you have to take that off first!
Take what off?
Take the paper off in the back. Like that one.
[The correct way.]
What are you doing?
- Dong Wook, you have to take this off! - Ah, really?
Come on.
[He nailed it to the wall without taking the paper offer first.]
If you don't want to do it then just tell me! What is this?
All you had to do was tell me.
I'm sorry! Please forgive me for my stupidity!
[Embarrassed.]
Dong Wook, is a lot more careless than we thought, don't you think?
- I wonder who came. - Hello. Ah, thank you.
[Why is she grinning like that?]
Young Ji, I heard your mom is sending us thornback ray.
Yes.
- A whole set. - A whole set?
Young Ji's parents have sent her thornback ray from Jeollado and 5-year-old kimchi.
There's so much to do. Ta-da! Perfect.
It seems like Joon Hyung's and Ryohei's room concept is all about their fans.
[Meanwhile, what about room number four?]
[Setting up a shelf.]
Min Woo is helping set up a shelf and Jong Ok and Sunny's room.
Min Woo, you're cool.
Room number three is almost ready.
[Oh.]
[Each room has its own personality!]
Then, what are we going to eat for supper?
From Jeolla-do, my uncle sent us raw thornback ray.
Oh! Thornback ray?
- Do you like it? - Yes! Love it!
I know with thornback ray with veggie wraps and kimchi and...
- Have you had it before? - Yeah, it's so delicious.
Hey, Young Ji, does your family own a sushi restaurant?
- No, we own a coffee shop. - Oh, I guess coffee shops sell fish too.
[Anyhow, thank you so much for the food.]
They also sent five-year-old kimchi.
Wow, really? Kimchi that's been seasoned for five years?
We need pork. I was going to go buy it but...
Ah, really? Go buy it.
This is my company credit card. Use this one.
- I'll use that card. - Gook Ju!
I'll get cosmetic surgery done with it.
Gook Ju, Jackson, and Young Ji are going grocery shopping
to buy pork to complete the thornback triple combo.
Kang Joon just called me. I'll talk to him for a bit.
['Say what?']
Oh, Kang Joon.
- Hello, where you are you, Gook Ju? - Why did you call her?
- Oh, you called him. - Oh, I did.
- Why did you? - I wanted to know where he is.
- How come you don't call me? - You don't have a phone.
- But you could call my manager. - I don't know your manager's number.
- You don't even want to know. - I do.
[Jack is jealous and cute.]
Wait, do you have something you want to tell us, if not I'll hang up.
I...
- I have nothing. - Oh, I see.
Nothing, Gook Ju, don't get your hopes up.
We aren't a match.
You guys never were.
Drive home safe, okay?
[I like Gook Ju.]
[At the grocery shop.]
It's Sunny's credit card, anyway. It's hers.
They look good together. What's that?
[They left Gook Ju behind?]
[Sad.]
- That's why I look after Kang Joon. - What did you say? I heard that!
['What did you say? I heard that!']
[Jackson gets jealous hearing her talk about Kang Joon.]
- I was helping her carry the basket. - I see, I see.
First of all, let's buy the meat which is the most important thing.
Oh, it's over there.
Let's go.
- Aren't we a good couple? - With you?
- Aren't a good couple? - Nope.
- Hey, what you doing? - I was...
Jackson, I don't know about you.
Doesn't it look like mine?
Hey, why do you compare it to your leg but compare it to my arm?
- Yeah, never mind, Jackson. - Gook Ju, I didn't mean that...
You bring me up and down and up and down.
Never mind.
['Gook Ju, it's all a misunderstanding.']
Okay, okay, okay.
[They are here to buy pork.]
Pig's foreleg, please.
For eating with thornback ray and kimchi.
- How much of it would you like? - Given the number of people...
for about eight people, four geuns (half kilo)?
Four geuns but four geuns that's not like four geuns.
[Cute and adorable.]
This is business. This is business. Being cute won't work.
- I'm Jackson, a new singer from JYP. - Jackson, Jackson.
Don't avoid it but vibe with me.
Look at me. Why are you so shy?
No need to be scared. I'm not good at this but I think we're a hot couple.
['He's good.']
That's how they are.
- Since you sang... - Yes?
- We'll give you a little discount. - Oh?
He'll give us a discount, not give us more.
That's okay because... this is Sunny's credit card, we don't need a discount.
She told us we can buy whatever want.
I think it's better to give... us more.
['Okay, we'll give you more.']
That's it, that' it.
Oh my god, will it last till next year?
[They were being very generous.]
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. We'll enjoy it with the rest of the guys.
['Enjoy.']
[Gook Ju and Young Ji buy fruits.]
I am a real man.
- Keep on carrying it. - It's no problem.
- We need snacks. - No worries, no worries.
['So heavy.']
- Don't worry about it and take your time. - Okay.
[Taking it slow and looking for good snacks.]
I think my shoulder's going to pop out.
[After putting it down]
[he takes off his shirt.]
[Time to pay for them.]
- How much in total? - 177,880 won.
Ah, put it on that credit card, please.
It's okay to use Sunny's credit card, right?
[Sunny gets a text about the grocery bill.]
Young Ji.
[A text about how much they spent on her credit card.]
Hey! What did you buy that costs 170,000 won?
We'll be home after we pay for it.
[Sunny yells in desperation.]
['Just hang up.']
- I should cancel my credit card. - They hung up.
- Hey! - They hung up because you yelled.
Hey! My credit card...
[They return afraid to get in.]
Wait, what should we tell Sunny?
You were sure about it, right? You were confident.
['Then let's be confident about it.']
We have a song about it too.
Walking with confidence.
[Sunny's making potato pancakes using her anger as the heat source.]
[Pretending to be unconcerned.]
['Why so much?']
You bought all that with Sunny's credit card?
['So, you are back...']
Okay, here. Let's see my credit card.
Let's see.
170,000 won. Good one. But what they did buy with 170,000 won?
Mister. Mister.
- I'm exhausted. - Okay.
[Doing everything possible to make her feel better.]
['Thank you, Sunny!']
The key point is Sunny's expression.
- How does she do it? - How is her facial expression?
Give it a try.
[Sunny sings this part.]
[Impersonating Sunny.]
- When did I ever do that, Young Ji? - What? It looks just like you.
Sunny... Sunny has her own unique elegant way of doing it.
She has her elegant touch to it.
Five, six, seven, eight.
[Copied and pasted!]
['Finally, she feels better.']
[Boiled pork is getting ready.]
[Tonight's main dish is well-fermented thornback ray.]
This will be so hard to eat.
Isn't this the nose part of thornback rays?
Thornback ray's nose? How about the loser has it eat it?
- Okay, let's give it a shot. - Oh my god!
Let's eat some nose. Come on, let's go!
[Jackson, from Hong Kong, absolutely loves fermented thornback ray.]
You eat it if you don't play. Rock-paper-scissors!
[Ryohei wins!]
['I cannot believe this!']
No, no, no, no.
They cheated, they cheated!
[He wants to deny the reality.]
['We didn't cheat.']
[Ryohei is being dragged.]
[He tries to resist it with all his might.]
[He tries to hold onto fixtures too.]
[He finally seems to give in]
[but pleads for one more chance.]
- It's not fun if we do it like this. - We really didn't cheat.
Give me some time to get ready.
[The nose is for Ryohei.]
For the first time ever... for Ryohei.
Looks delicious.
[Pretend there's nothing to it but...]
It's his first time ever trying fermented ray's nose.
I wonder if he likes it.
Isn't it delicious?
- Mmm? - Oh!
Is it okay? It's not too bad?
[So much fun.]
[A total shock.]
How was it?
- Out of blue... - At the end, that's when it comes.
[The small bit of ammonia endlessly recycling itself.]
It hits you at the end..
These are tolerable.
I am home!
Where were you?
[Boiled pork is ready to serve.]
You can eat it.
Thank you.
[Triple combo: thornback ray, boiled pork and aged kimchi.]
Let's play a dinner game. How about it?
[Auditioning for TV commercials.]
Jackson, let's go. Are you ready?
This thornback ray is so fresh, fresh.
['You try it too.']
Cut, cut, cut. Cut.
[Young Ji is chewing mouthful and loving it.]
Why does my tongue hurt?
[His tongue has been paralyzed by fermented ray nose.]
Next. Please choose the next contestant, Jackson.
- Joon Hyung. - Oh my god!
[Joon Hyung doesn't seem confident to face this challenge.]
['Let me smell it.']
Oh my god! I can't do this.
I can't.
Here we go, Joon Hyung.
[Determined.]
- For which country? - I'll do one for the States.
The States? Okay.
Okay! Finally! From Jeolla-do!
Not Colorado, Jeolla-do, Korea!
We have... fresh fresh...
thornback ray.
Things are looking good. Here goes nothing.
Wait, sit there for a second.
['Help!']
[He can relate.]
['This is so delicious.']
It... tastes like the stuff they used to dye my hair.
Yeah, it smells like ammonia.
Hurts. Doesn't it hurt?
['I think it's just delicious.']
She's the Iron Man. She's the Iron Man.
['Delicious.']
Thornback ray, boiled pork and aged kimchi.
Eat them together. It's thornback ray triple combo.
Fermented thornback ray is good for joints and helps with digestion.
From Jeolla-do, it's a must for village parties. Fermented ray.
[Joon Hyung gives it another try.]
Jackson, Joon Hyung and Ryohei who are from overseas love it.
['Can I have a piece?']
[Kang Joon is back from work.]
I'm home.
Good looking Kang Joon. Here, here.
[Yum.]
- What's that? - Fermented ray.
Wow, look at that.
[Fermented ray triple combo is ready to be served.]
Kang Joon, have you ever tried fermented ray?
Never have.
['You'll soon fall in love with fermented ray.']
[You make layers of pork, thornback ray, and kimchi.]
That's triple combo.
[In one bite.]
- Combos. - That's good. It's true.
['It's delicious.']
[Everyone's in love with fermented ray here.]
[Story number three: 'Pork To My Ears.']
On the other hand, where is Gook Ju headed?
Tonight I'm...
I'm making a cameo at Baek Ji Young's concert for a bit.
My gosh.
The dance that motivated me to perform it on a stage is
By Baek Ji Young, Sad Salsa.
[Gook Ju dreamed of becoming a choreographer]
[after using Baek Ji Young dance.]
[It'll be a special moment for her to sing with Bae Ji Young tonight.]
Tada, I'm so nervous. I have my own dressing room.
'2014 Baek Ji Young. That Woman.'
Actually, I'm on stage as a guy. Yes, yes.
['Let's practice the song.']
[She'll perform an arranged version of 'Candy To My Ears.']
For some reason, the music sounds so sad.
If you want the most chewy part, then look at me.
Pork rinds. Pork neck.
Which ever part of pork you want, I'll eat it for you.
[She not only sings but also dances.]
That's the climax.
Gook Ju is putting the stage costume on.
I always carry this costume around because you never know when I need it.
I'm the best at putting it on.
I didn't want to give up being a woman, so I'm wearing pink socks.
[Pink socks to retain her femininity.]
- You put on lipstick? - Of course?
- But you play a man. - But for me, I'm a woman.
I need it.
A guy may look at me dance and think, 'She's so feminine,' and fall for me.
I might meet the one.
How much longer would I have to argue with Jackson?
They won't even notice it, right?
['I'm a real woman after all.']
They probably don't know I put on make up.
Tough leather fashions and hairy sideburns as well.
Transformation complete.
Ji Young's pretty loyal because
she sang in the States, right?
In the States, she texted me.
'Hey, what's your underwear size?'
She wanted to buy them for me as gifts.
When I told her, guess what she said?
'Ah, so big.'
'Why so big?' she said.
'There should be big ones in the States,' I replied.
There weren't any, so she didn't buy them.
[A recording of talking via voice messages.]
As if I've been shot
I keep on eating.
I sent her this one and she replied
From now on we should eat together.
She's cool. I should be so good to her.
The concert has started.
[Ji Young's singing in front of a sold out crowd.]
I don't usually get nervous but...
the reason why I'm nervous is because the guest performers are Lee Sun Hee and
Back To The Sky is here as well and...
Oh, how are you?
[Brian from Back To The Sky.]
I grew it. Oh, how are you? How are you?
I need to go perform soon. It's an honor.
- Thank you, thank you. - Good luck.
Thank you.
When I meet such cool people like them, oh my gosh!
I am such a big fan.
To be honest, I like them more than g.o.d. my gosh!
[Joon Hyung: 'Yo Gook Ju, me disappointed.']
I'm so fortunate.
Even Lee Seung Gi is a guest performer. How did I get to be here?
What do I do?
I want to follow them. Look.
['Are they gone already?']
[Lee Sun Hee, a legendary singer, is on stage.]
[It's Gook Ju's turn after her.]
[Extremely nervous.]
Gook Ju seems very nervous.
['Oh my gosh!']
[Gook Ju will perform will Ji Young.]
[The mic is on! Transformation is done!]
[Time for Gook Ju to rock out!]
[Here's Lee Gook Ju!]
What kind of meat is it? Tell me.
[It's a good start.]
Pork to my ears. It's first grade wild boar.
Put me on top of that veggie wrap
[Time for Ji Young to sing.]
[Perfect harmony.]
With your lips that are like moist strawberries.
[Ji Young can't help but smile.]
- Water naengmyeon. - I love you.
- Fried rice. - I love you.
No matter what you want, I'll bring it for you.
- I love you. - Excuse me.
- Te quiero. - Dessert please.
So sweet that it doesn't even make any sense.
[Pork To My Ears.]
[So much fun!]
[So excited she does another band's dance.]
['Let's party!']
[In perfect unison.]
[To the climax.]
[To the front!]
['What should I show them this time?']
[On her knees.]
['Not easy.']
[Gook Ju saves her very best till the end.]
Go louder!
[The performance is almost over.]
['Ji Young, I'll finish.']
Born woman!
[Ending it with a joke.]
- I'm low on sugar. Dinner please. - Dinner please.
['Thank you!']
[Gook Ju expressing her gratitude.]
Awesome, awesome, awesome, you were so amazing.
I missed it, I missed it. What do I do?
I missed that one part.
I'm done for.
['Ah, I could've done better.']
Thank you.
[She ran into Ji Young's husband, Jung Suk Won.]
['He's so cool.']
['Oh, that's not the exit!']
['They must be in love.']
- Lee Gook Ju, how's it going? - Ji Young.
- I'm so sorry. - No need to be sorry.
No need to be sorry.
- It was so much fun! - Really?
How did you come up with this?
I made a mistake. So I thought I should redeem myself.
- I couldn't tell. - I went out and bounced my torso.
- I couldn't tell. - Couldn't tell?
I'll go see you wherever you are.
- Roommate! - I'll come by, I'll come by!
We from now on
should eat together.
[Fourth story: 'Romeo and Juliet.']
- Okay, have a seat. - Okay.
Where's Se Ho?
[Se Ho has fake beard on.]
- I'm envious of Ryohei's beard. - Let's see.
It's not a clean beard.
- Is that black marker? - No, no.
['Se Ho's so funny.']
- Everyone's here? - Yes.
We'll do the first ever Bae Jong Ok's Acting Class.
Class President, let's do a greeting.
Please introduce yourself.
No, we need to greet her.
Say, 'Attention. Bow.'
['Sir!']
He doesn't know about it.
- Say, 'attention and bow.' - Okay.
Everyone, stand up!
Count of three! Bow down. Three, two, one!
- How are you? - How are you?
Okay, please have a seat.
We'll start with a very simple exercise to warm up our mouths and throats.
They don't look simple at all.
Looks like it'll twist my tongue even more.
It's simple. Let's take one turn at a time.
Min Woo, first.
He's good.
[His ability to speak has improved?]
[Wow, so smooth!]
Passed! Passed! Passed!
['Oh yeah!']
He's good.
I'll go next.
Ready and go.
[Oh, so far so good.]
[But slowly it's getting...]
Agh!
[Can't keep it together.]
[Stammering.]
['You can do this, Jackson.']
- I have bad eyesight. - No, you're doing well.
You did really well.
['I'll enunciate every single word!']
You did so well, you did so well.
- Joony, hurry and do it. - Oh, Jong Ok...
But you're good at it. Take it slow.
Ha!
[Joony starts with a loud yell.]
[Tongue twisted.]
Hanyoung Couture Hose. (Mispronunciation)
Hangyoung Couture...
['Can't do this.']
F---!
[Joony explodes.]
Look at him sitting.
[Is he being punished?]
Be quiet. It's so hard.
I'm getting sweaty.
Hangyoung, Hangyoung Couture Hose.
What's that? What is that!
He gets mad at the word.
['I will not give up.']
['So funny.']
[One word at a time.]
['Good, good, Joony.']
The person who's standing here is Meal Law Major Major.
The person who's stands here is Bap Law Major.
Mr. Baek is a Doctor of Laws!
['It's a victory for all of us, Joony!']
I want to bite down my tongue.
Since we're done with that one
we'll do a simulation game to improve your concentration.
Concentration improvement. Okay, please close your eyes.
- Right here? - Yes.
Close your eyes and count to ten silently.
Breathe slowly in and out.
Slowly.
Based on what I say... express the situations
that I tell you... with your body.
Okay, you're...
walking on a forest trail.
It's a very hot day.
It's so hot.
As you're struggling and walking...
there are delicious apples on an apple tree.
When you take a bite out of an apple, it's sweet and cool.
['Yes, so delicious.']
And suddenly... storm wind blows at you.
['Where did this wind come from?']
You can't stand still because the wind is too strong.
['Help me.']
You take shelter from the rain under a tree.
There's someone standing beside you.
When you look at that person, the person looks just
like the one you've been looking for all your life.
The one you've been looking for.
Let's... sit down again and slowly quiet your mind again.
[Second visualization.]
I am... the sexiest person... in the world.
I am... walking in a sexy way.
['Come alive, my sexy body cells.']
[Enchanting and voluptuous.]
What would be my... sexiest...
body part?
[S-line body.]
[Moist lips.]
['Me too.']
Suddenly my shoulder hurts. What's wrong with it?
I can't endure it.
I can't take it any longer.
[Se Ho is a little too deep into the visualization.]
I feel... something's growing out of my shoulder blades.
Are they blades?
Wings are growing out of my shoulder blades.
You flap your wings and your body floats up in the air.
Flap, flap. You fly with complete ease.
[What is Dong Wook doing?]
[It looks more like a zombie walk than flying.]
Good. Please have a seat.
Why are you all the way over here?
Everyone knows about 'Romeo and Juliet,' right?
Yes.
I brought these for you.
It's the scene where...
after they've met at the ball
they miss each other so much.
That's why Romeo comes visit Juliet.
It's the scene where they meet.
Gook Ju and Se Ho, let's play Romeo and Juliet.
- Ah, here? - Yeah.
I'll be the nurse.
Gosh, I can't get into it.
[Gook Ju is getting into character.]
[But his beard!]
['It's too funny.']
Se Ho, your beard... I can't stop laughing at it.
- Can you take it off? - Can't get into character?
No, no, let's just do it.
['I can't take it off.']
Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale... and not the lark.
It was the lark, the herald of the morn.
It is, it is! Hie hence, be gone, away!
Some say the lark makes sweet division.
This doth not so, for she divideth us!
More light and light...
More dark and dark our woes!
- Madam! - Nurse.
Lady, your mother is coming to your chamber!
The day is broke. Be wary. Look about!
Farewell, farewell! One kiss, and I'll descend.
[Is he doing a Tarzan move?]
Art thou gone so? Love, lord, ay, husband, friend!
Wow, you guys did so well.
You were wondering how you'd be able to do say the line, right?
But because you were so in character, it didn't feel awkward to us at all.
- Your beard helped. - Ah, did it?
[Kim Jo Han look-alike.]
Oh, Solid. Oh.
Let's go act two and scene two.
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east...
and Juliet is the sun.
[Slaps himself to keep in character.]
Cast it off. It is my lady. O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
[It's time for Jackson to do his lines.]
['It's your turn, Jackson.']
- Romeo. - Ah, ah, is it my turn?
[Second self-slap to pay attention.]
O, speak again... speak again.
bright angle.
['Angle?']
Angel.
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love.
[Narrator.]
Shall I hear more?
[Stage directions are not read out loud.]
[Jackson has never acted before.]
What, what, what?
[She's about to cry.]
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
[To Juliet] I take thee at thy word.
[Jackson reads stage direction out loud again.]
Call me but Love, and I'll be newly baptized.
[Laughing so much, she's crying.]
Lady...
by yonder blessèd moon I swear...
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops...
O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon.
That monthly changes in her circled orb.
Do not swear at all.
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self.
[Well done!]
['Awesome!']
- Young Ji, you're really good. - She's so good.
['Thank you.']
- I also worked a little hard. - You did well. You did really well.
You did so well and now...
Our Joony... let's give it a try.
Joony and...
Sunny. Let's give it a try.
- Act two, Scene two. - Act two, Scene two? Okay.
[Romeo: Outside Juliet's balcony. ROMEO: He jests at scars that never felt a wound.]
[Outside Juliet's balcony. ROMEO]
[Making the same mistake as Jackson, reading stage direction.]
What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the yeast.
And Juliet is the sun?
Arise, fair sun, and kill... the envious moon...
I hope she knew.
O, speak again, bright angel!
[Narrator!]
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
[To Juliet] I take thee at they word.
Call me but Love.
Heh?
And I'll be newly baptized.
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
What man art thou?
Who am I?
By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am.
Dear saint.
My name is hateful to myself.
Because it is an energy to thee.
I know the sound. Art thou not Romeo
How came'st thou hither? If they do see thee, they will murder thee!
[Doing her absolute best not to laugh.]
Alack, there lies more pencil in thine eye.
['Pencil?']
[Time for the nurse to come in.]
Madam!
So frustrating! Don't keep on call for her.
[Ad-libbing.]
- Madam! - Quiet!
- Madam! - I heard you!
- Madam! - Hey!
Hey, Bae Jong Ok!
- My soul... - Madam!
[Extremely frustrating.]
[Ending with big laughter.]
Ah, it's so hard. So hard.
I was so touched that I even cried. I even cried.
You can tell it's not like what you thought about acting before, right?
That's why you don't have to reject something you aren't familiar with.
Once you try it, you get used to it.
It was so much fun to do this acting class with you.
I'll come back with an even more entertaining curriculum next week.
Thank you.
Everybody, stand up!
Count of three! One, two, three. Thank you.
[Roommate Season 2: Learn. Share. Enjoy.]
We have superhero as the them. Dong Wook is the Iron Man
Min Wook is the Spider Man and I'm like the Hulk.
I think our room is so pretty. I'm so proud.
I had fun.
It's important how the students felt about it.
It's been a while since I've able to experience getting into character.
I never imagined I would be able to do that here.
- Thornback ray. Yeah, it's good. - Thornback ray?
The smell of old socks, you know?
I don't like the thorn...
[Want to watch it together with me?]
