Happy to be together "Happy Together"!
(The Happy Virus, Happy Together)
(It's great to see you all)
Please welcome today's very special guests.
Shin Sungwoo, Gu Hara, Jin Goo, Lee Hyunwoo,
Yu Minsang, and Kim Suyeong.
- Hello. - Hello.
- The set is full. - This sauna is full.
- I think it's my special day. - Why?
I bet I'll look very pretty and slim today.
- Not at all. - No?
It looks like you're on a show with your family.
- Don't they look like a family? - They do.
It looks like we separated them by the gene pool.
It's like two families going head-to-head.
It's the tale of two families.
- It's like fatties and skinnies. - It's like...
"Fatties and Skinnies"?
Suyeong lost so much weight.
Suyeong, exactly how much weight did you lose?
I lost 70 kg over four months.
70 kg?
(In "Last Health Boy" skit on "Gag Concert")
It's 98.3.
(He lost an amazing amount of weight)
Thank you for saving my life.
He lost 70 kg and reached his goal.
Thank you, everyone.
It might be too soon to say this, but
I heard you're having yo-yo effect.
Rumors are fast.
It's only natural that I gained some weight back.
Why is that?
- You wanted to lose to 80. - How much do you weigh?
I think I have to reveal my current weight, then.
I weigh 103.8 kg.
- Right now? - Yes.
We ended that skit with him reaching 98 kilos.
- He gained weight. - He said he'd go down to 80,
and he went up to weigh 105 kilos.
But 103 kg isn't as much as I thought.
I still have lost 65 kg.
- That's a lot. - It is.
- That's weight of a sack of rice. - Your face...
He has a chin now.
- You are good-looking. - Thanks.
Suyeong said that he wanted
to lose weight for his own health.
All right. We'll hear more about that
a little later during the show.
- Is there any more to hear from them? - Of course.
Is that all for them? Should they leave now?
- He lost 65 kg. The end. - Don't say that.
Is that it?
We invited six special guests today.
I bet you think they have nothing in common.
- Not at all. - No, right?
- But they do have something in common. - Really?
Saeho, what do you think they have in common?
You asked me the hardest question.
He's done for the day.
- What are they in common? - They're public figures.
Public figures?
- It's not that. - They're famous.
Myungsoo, what would you say?
I don't think they have anything in common.
- Theirs could be their weight. - Yes.
They altered their faces or something.
Altered their faces?
They have experienced a miracle.
- A miracle? - You know Suyeong's miracle.
- His 70-kg weight loss. - He lost 70.
Sungwoo also experienced a miracle.
- Why? - We no longer call him Terius.
He's called "Mom Shin".
He's "Mom Shin".
- It's a miracle. - It is.
- From Terius to Mom. - Exactly.
What's Hara's miracle?
- Gu Hara's? - What's my miracle?
Being born with a face like hers is a miracle.
(You can't be prettier than this)
(Miraculous looks)
(Her whole being is a miracle)
- Jin Goo... - What's a miracle for him?
He finally got married to his one-sided love.
- There's someone I love. - He's so honest.
I don't think I can confess my love this year.
Confess your love here, today.
(The following year they tied the knot)
(The miracle of unrequited love)
What's Hyunwoo's miracle?
He survived the deadly 16th birthday of child actors.
He came out of it pretty well.
(He was a courageous child fighter)
(He had magical powers)
(He survived his teenage years well)
(And he's now a handsome adult)
Minsang, isn't this your second time on our show?
- It's my third. - Is it?
I only remember two appearances.
- One was unsubstantial. - I was almost invisible.
I'll see you next week.
See you next week.
They have some sort of special filter.
- Sungwoo, wow... - You've become more handsome.
I commented on his hairdo before taping began.
I had that hairstyle for a while.
You could misrecognize him for a bearded Misun.
You look a little like a bearded Misun.
She does that hairdo every now and then.
It's amazing that he can pull that look off.
He looks like an artist.
It's the style that most men dream of
trying out one day.
- Do they? - But growing hair out is hard work.
If it backfires, you look like Choi Yangrak.
There are two types of male bobs.
- But anyway... - Your hairstyle suits you.
- You have the look for it. - You do.
How have you been doing, Sungwoo?
I'm working on a new musical.
Oh, are you?
Shouldn't you be trying to get married?
Recently I went to Ahn Jaewook's wedding.
I never envy him before,
but I envied him that day.
He looked almost arrogant and seemed to say,
"I'm getting married. What about you?"
He had that look.
I thought he'd hang in there with me.
- He was a musical actor, too. - That's right.
Now it's only me and Um Gijun.
I made Gijun promise me.
- Of what? - He'll get married after me.
- Is he your standard, then? - Yes.
Your new nickname is "Mom Shin".
There must be a reason you got that nickname.
I did a variety show with Saeho.
I just cooked and fed the younger celebrities.
I did it because I liked doing it.
Nana made one comment. "You're like a mom."
That's how it stuck.
- Is that why you have that hairdo? - No.
We could see his long hair from behind.
- He was like a tall mom. - He's a well-built mom.
He always wakes us up.
- "It's time to wake up." - Really?
"Come downstairs and eat breakfast."
He's at the age where men have more female hormones.
Maybe that's why when I watch films these days
- I tear up more than before. - Do you?
We all know him as the original Terius,
but now people call him "Mom Shin".
I never used to like to talk much.
You didn't?
I had clear interests and didn't see why
I should discuss matters I didn't care about.
How much did you speak at most, then?
I spoke three phrases a day normally.
What did you say, then?
I would say "yes", "no", "maybe", only if you ask me.
That's all?
He was so mysterious.
- Terius isn't talkative. - That's not his character.
Now that I'm older and I started to act,
I realized how fun it is to chat.
- Did you? - It's enjoyable.
- You discovered the joy of chit-chatting. - I did.
I approach people as if I just learned how to speak.
"Hello."
"Hello. I'm Shin Sungwoo."
We have chatting apps where we can chat in groups.
I text the most.
I talk the most.
It's so much that people tell me I talk too much.
You're the leader of the talk now.
- Next to him is Gu Hara. - Hello.
Gu Hara.
- She's our only female guest. - You're so pretty.
- You got prettier. - I did? Thank you.
- You're so pretty. - You have a nice forehead.
- It's a miracle she has that face. - That face...
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
You're right.
That face is better than any gifts.
- Myungsoo, you're a bit like her. - How so?
You were born to be a comedian.
It's a gift from the gods.
No one could have your face even if they wanted to.
- I envy him the most. - That's true.
Don't you think she's pretty even for a singer?
She looks beautiful even right after she wakes up.
- She does even without makeup. - She looks better
- without makeup. - Does she?
I noticed that you haven't denied anything so far.
- No... - Forget it. It's too late now.
- She accepts everything. - I get it.
- I get it now. - But...
You have a pretty face, so why do you keep altering it?
- What? - What do you mean?
What's he saying?
- She's already pretty. - What are you talking about?
It's all over the Internet.
- Hara, I see you're very perplexed. - Aren't you?
Why do you change your look?
Do you change your face?
I got some procedures.
- Procedures? - Yes, procedures.
She got something done.
- It's more like... - What procedures?
Hara...
I get laser treatments or Botox.
- Really? - Of course.
Before you released your current album...
Most singers get shots here and there.
- Did you? - I got an intramuscular injection.
- One? - I got this tightened.
- Where? - Shinyoung was
thinking about the shot Hara got.
- You got them here. - Injections?
- I got intramuscular injections. - Is that it?
I go to a dermatologist for precision lifting.
- Lifting? - Yes.
- It's not saggy. - She should start it now.
Because we're always working out,
- our skin lacks moisture. - I see.
Pretty girls take care of themselves more.
- Her fans' love contributes to her beauty. - Right.
Kara recently released a new album.
Yes, it's titled "Cupid".
We're hard at work.
- When did you debut? - I debuted seven years ago.
You've been a singer for that long already?
The other Kara members debuted nine years ago.
- They debuted first. - Yes, Seungyeon and Gyuri did.
Don't younger female singers fear you?
We heard rumors that Kara is
a bit scary to the juniors.
- We aren't. - Aren't you?
It's not like that.
We're one of the older girl groups still around...
- So you intimidate them. - No, no.
- It's not that. - No?
Do you head-butt them?
- "You, come here." - She's not a gangster.
- No... - We have a list.
- We have our list. - We aren't on it.
When we pass the restroom...
- The restroom. - The restroom.
- That's where you scold them?
Please don't start any rumors.
The younger singers started looking at us differently.
- Why? - Why?
The younger singers were in awe to see
- such pretty seniors... - What did you just say?
- Such pretty seniors... - What did you just say?
What are you talking about?
- She praised herself. - You're pretty?
Don't start any rumors.
Are you a show-off?
Are you showing off?
You're too young for this.
Even Jin Goo is glaring at you.
What I meant was...
Jin Goo wouldn't do it if that was bearable.
Around the time we debuted
Super Junior was about the only seniors we had.
So it's great being greeted by juniors.
- These days? - Yes, it's great and awkward.
It makes me want to go to the restroom again.
Because you want to be greeted.
They look at you in awe.
You're old enough to host "dinner shows".
Already?
Why? Don't they eat dinner?
Let's move on to Jin Goo.
Jin Goo is a movie actor.
Jin Goo got married recently.
Congratulations.
When did you get married?
I've been married for nine months.
It's been a while, then.
- Are you happy? - Yes, I'm very happy.
I sensed a half-second pause right there.
It sounded like a line from a script.
I'm sure a lot has changed now that you're married,
but what do you think has changed the most?
- I feel less lonely at home. - I see.
It's only the two of us, but it feels more like a home.
- There's much more going on. - Is there?
- I'm envious. - Aren't you?
Isn't your home so quiet?
It is, but...
two dogs welcome me home every day.
Can we cry?
You appeared on another one of my variety shows.
Sungwoo was there, too.
When you first brought it up on air,
your unrequited love which is your wife now,
hadn't yet accepted your love for her.
Yes, I was afraid that
if I confessed my love on TV,
then it would go wrong for good.
I thought it would end.
If I lost her now,
I thought I'd be single for at least a few more years.
- Was it that serious? - Yes, it was.
Didn't you pray every night?
- Was it that serious? - "Let her love me"?
- Really? - Yes, I did.
Do people like him worry about that, too?
Isn't it just guaranteed
when guys with his looks ask anyone out?
It's not.
They're more innocent and outgoing than we are.
I'm innocent.
Saeho, you keep saying "we".
Why is that?
I'm so glad to have them on the show
because I think I'm a little better than them.
What makes you say that?
- Aren't I better looking? - No, I am.
Jin Goo, how did you first meet her?
She's a friend of Gummy's friend's friend.
- Her friend's friend's friend. - If that's true...
Isn't that a stranger?
Gummy didn't know her at first.
- She set you up. - Yes.
- Then... - Was it at a get-together?
I was having a drink with Gummy.
She randomly showed me a photo of a woman.
- Gummy did? - Then she asked if I liked her.
Gummy's friend did.
I had just met that woman that day.
She didn't know me.
She didn't even know if I was a decent guy.
- Suddenly? - It was sudden.
- Randomly? - "I'll give you her number. Meet up."
- Really? - Is that possible?
So we met up, without anyone else.
- Did you call her? - I made the move.
- So you did like how she looked in the photo. - Yes.
Did you just know right away?
That she's the one?
At least, she didn't look too sloppy.
What a word to use.
What I want to know is when you met up with her,
did she look like the photo?
- She looked more urban. - Did she?
A lot of women don't look as pretty as their photos.
Photos are edited these days.
She had a round face,
and I thought she'd be a good listener in the photo.
But she was slightly cold in real.
So were you disappointed?
Yes. I was.
- Then? - Why the unrequited love, then?
We parted ways both thinking that would be it,
but on my way home I felt like I'd marry her.
Really?
I got goose bumps.
Did you make up this story?
I decided to be utterly shameless.
Her birthday is January 8th,
So I told myself I'd propose to her on her birthday.
She never even said she'd date me.
At the time the show aired, I was busy renting
a cottage and calling her friends secretly.
Did you really plan the proposal for three months?
Because I'm an actor, all I can do
is use the poor editing skills I learned from others
to create something
like a music video or a short film for her.
With you as the lead?
I used our photos that were saved on our phones.
Did you propose with a song you wrote the lyrics to?
In the lyrics... My wife's name is Kim Jihye.
It's a bit corny.
How did it go?
"I prayed every night."
"Asking God to give poor me some wisdom."
It's like "Magic Castle".
There's the same phrase in "Magic Castle".
Give me wisdom.
Let's listen to his song.
- It's on tape? - Wow, Jin Goo...
He's special.
I prayed every night.
- Is that his voice? - It is.
Give me wisdom.
This is where women cry.
And so.
(I knew you were the one the day we met)
(So now I want to confess my love)
(I want to spend the rest of my life with you)
Gosh!
You can't help but cry.
- It's so touching. - It's a nice song.
- What's the title? - It's nice.
- "It Was You." - "It Was You"?
You did a good job.
Jin Goo, did you brag about your proposal to Hyunwoo?
He did. Seriously. It was too much.
What did he say?
On his days off,
they walked around Busan hand-in-hand.
- People recognized him. - Of course.
Also, they knew his love story.
People said they made a lovely couple,
and that they look so happy.
He bragged about that to me so much.
"We were walking around and people stared at us."
"They told us we look happy"
- "when I'm with her." - Oblivious to how you felt.
- He was oblivious. - I wanted to do that, too...
You were holding back.
He looked so happy, though.
One day he said to me on the set, after the wedding.
"This is a secret. I'm only going to tell you."
"I'm going to be a dad."
Wow. Jin Goo, good for you.
You're hitting the milestones one by one.
She's due in three weeks.
Was it a shotgun wedding?
No, she got pregnant a month after our wedding.
We didn't get to go on a honeymoon and I was shooting
the film "The First Battle of Yeonpyeong" in Busan.
- She came over without telling me. - Did she?
- She came? - And?
That was the day.
It was conception on the set. On-set conception.
"On-set conception."
(In this tough situation)
(Our baby was made)
You're only talking about the good sides of marriage.
It's not that nice.
- Why isn't it? - What's wrong?
Why did you say something so randomly negative?
- I think it's lovely. - He's so mean.
Sungwoo will find out when he gets married,
but the preparations can stress you out.
That's right.
Women want the man to help pick a wedding dress.
We don't mind going.
All the dresses are white.
They're all the same after the third one.
- That's right. - After the third one.
She asks which one I prefer. I don't remember anything.
Women are like that.
Men can't tell the difference.
How come they don't help us?
They want our help picking out a dress.
- They don't care about suits. - It's like a show.
When the curtains are pulled back,
- the man should react. - That's right.
- Didn't you go through that, Jin Goo? - I did.
Didn't you argue while picking out gifts?
I bit my tongue.
- This is what we want to hear. - That's it.
Tell us what really happened.
Tell us your reality.
It was very tough.
Yes, this is the kind of stuff we want to hear.
Hyunwoo, you're good friends with IU.
Yes, I am.
Wasn't there a rumor that you were dating?
- We went to the cinema. - What'll you do with her?
You went to the cinema with her and then?
What do you mean by what I will do with her?
What happened after the film?
- We got into trouble instead. - Why?
You just got into trouble without watching a movie?
- Are you close? - We're very good friends.
- Don't such rumors make you awkward? - Did it?
What was funny was, we parted ways after the movies.
On our way home, we both ended up getting phone calls.
Our agencies called and told us about news articles.
- After you left the movies? - Was it the two of you?
- Was there anyone else? - My manager was there.
My phone rang like crazy after just one or two hours.
- Really? - I was trying to sleep.
"What's this rumor about you dating?"
I called IU to ask her what was going on.
"What's going on? What happened?"
We actually didn't think much of it.
- You guys didn't? - No, we didn't.
Also, our agencies didn't either.
Even as friends, if you spend enough time together,
you're bound to feel something for that person.
With her?
Was that just an act?
I have a lot of good friends.
Are you seeing someone?
No, I'm not.
- Find someone soon. - Okay.
What type of woman do you like?
I don't have an ideal type.
- I like being around people. - I see.
I get along well with people my age or even
- people a year or two older. - Do you?
Can you name some older female friends?
You wouldn't know any of them.
- You wouldn't know any of them. - Try us.
What if we do know them?
What if I do?
It's someone we know?
We've been around for 30 years.
He doesn't think much of us.
- I debuted in 1993. - We know everyone.
That's not what I meant.
- Aren't they entertainers? - No, they aren't.
- We know everyone. - Who are they?
- Tell us. - Try us.
- We'll shock you. - You can't know.
- We know a lot of people. - Name just one.
I have to keep their privacy.
- Tell us a name. - Give us a name.
- You don't need a surname. - We'll bleep it out.
- Give us a name. - I might know her.
I sense something fishy.
I see beads of sweat forming on your nose.
Minsang, we're on to you now.
- Do you have a girlfriend? - No, I don't.
You never had a girlfriend, right?
I caused a huge fuss on this show last year.
I revealed that I liked a junior comedienne.
- That's right. - I remember.
- You liked someone. - That's right.
- What about now? - Don't you still like her?
We knew it.
Miss H.
I always say that there is romance
among comedians too.
- Did it not work out? - What happened since?
What's there to say?
I asked "Date me or die", and she said "Shoot me".
(Just shoot me...)
I heard a rumor that
you don't like elite women.
- What does that mean? - He dislikes elites.
Someone who is way ahead of me in a way.
I don't like it if she's better than me in some way.
- If she's doing too well. - I feel intimidated.
- It's daunting. - Yes, it is.
I used to be exactly like him.
- I was just like Minsang. - Really?
We're totally different.
You're way better looking than him.
I was in many gangster films and played rough roles.
- So women think I'm very rigid. - That's right.
They think I'm scary.
Since I was always the one who got dumped,
- I couldn't approach women. - So?
It really takes a lot of work.
You need to be desperate.
- You do. - You need to pray.
If you work on it for about 30 days,
your confidence builds up.
"I loved her this much for 30 days."
"I deserve to tell her so."
Sungwoo, you could learn from him.
I could never do that.
Are you going to stay as single forever?
It's fine now, but in 12 years' time...
What if something happens when you sleep?
I asked him if he'd ever been turned down.
And he got really serious and said,
"Did you just ask me that?"
- Never. - That's odd.
It's not that he can't. He won't.
I can't get a date. He won't.
You can't because you never have.
You're actually dating someone right now.
- Is he? - Didn't you know?
- I didn't know. - Are you dating someone?
- Are you still together? - Yes, we are.
If you've been together for a while now,
don't you or your family think you should marry?
I think about it every day.
- Do you? - I consider it.
I wonder when would be the best time.
Are you engaged?
I guess so.
- Then... - Write a song.
Someone snapped a photo of them at the movies.
- Really? - Yes.
It's not true.
- That wasn't her then? - Was it someone else?
He's talking about an old incident.
That was a dangerous comment.
Saeho, don't you try to bury me like that.
I'm sorry. I really had no idea.
I thought I could help you out.
Suyeong, could you hand us the poster?
Let's see for ourselves.
Look at this.
- This is you? - Look.
Look at your chin.
He started off like this.
- I see a chin now. - This is amazing.
- People think you had a nose job? - Yes, they do.
- I didn't. - Your nose is higher now.
- The chin improved your looks. - Bigger eyes, too.
He has a longer neck.
- Your neck got longer. - It's just more visible.
Doesn't your reflection look unfamiliar to you?
- People say I look like Lee Joon - What?
or Hoya from Infinite.
You wish.
(A rediscovery that took eight weeks)
(Kim Suyeong has a new identity)
While doing the comedy sketch for "Health Boy".
- I was really scared. - Why?
I could feel something when I touched myself,
so I asked Lee Seungyun if I should see a doctor
because I thought I could feel tumors.
Seungyun touched it,
then whacked me on the head.
He said, "They're your bones."
- You'd never felt them before? - I never did.
For how long were you overweight?
I've been overweight my whole life.
Were you obese even as a child?
He did ssireum even when he was a kid.
- He was always big. - It must be new self.
I think I'm more handsome than I used to be,
and women are throwing themselves at me.
Even more than before?
Gosh, what a bluffer.
The guests today experienced good fortunes, but Suyeong
- experienced a real miracle. - He did.
My mother is very concerned about me.
My father passed away early because of his poor health,
so she was worried about me.
Now that I'm healthier, she's happier for me.
What has changed?
I was in very poor health.
I had a heart condition and very high blood sugar,
and high blood pressure.
I had a lot of visceral fat and a fatty liver,
but not anymore.
- Now? - Everything is normal.
I'm an average person now.
Before he lost the weight, a doctor said
his life expectancy was 45.
He was recently on another show,
and it's gone up to over 60 years.
That's still not too long.
Most people live to be 100.
He's still dieting.
When you were on this weight loss regime,
what did you eat each day?
- I had no appetite in the morning, - Okay.
so I put milk, banana, strawberries or an apple
into a blender and made a smoothie.
Then I exercised for about 40 minutes.
After a 30-minute break,
I attended meetings, then I had lunch.
I ate brown rice, chicken breast, salad,
only five cherry tomatoes,
and one banana and two eggs.
That was lunch.
- You ate a lot. - He's a busy eater.
- You'd burst. - It doesn't taste good, though.
After the meeting at night, I went to the gym.
I lifted weights for about 40 minutes,
and I ran for about 40 minutes.
Then I ate dinner.
Ate what? Isn't that the important meal?
I ate brown rice, chicken breast,
cherry tomatoes, and salad.
- The same food? - I did, but with a sweet potato.
- Did you put any salad dressing on? - No, I didn't.
- Did you eat only vegetables? - Yes, I did.
Minsang, how does your day go?
- Be honest. What do you eat? - When do you wake up?
Tell us about yesterday.
- Yesterday? - Tell us about yesterday morning.
It was a grand day.
Now that I think about it, it was a grand day.
- What did you eat? - I like that.
I wrapped up eating intestines.
It is delicious.
Suyeong, you mentioned that
you burst into tears while on the treadmill.
It's tough to exercise regularly.
You can keep it up if you work out twice a week,
but I played sports as a child and hated working out.
- You did ssireum. - I was on a team for six years.
I really didn't want to exercise again,
and that's why I gained more weight.
I felt that I had gone back to my days as an athlete.
That's why I cried.
- You were sick of it. - Yes, I was.
- Aren't you happy to be thinner? - I am.
- What are the disadvantages? - Are there any?
I'm originally 168 cm tall.
I lost some fat in my feet and I'm 2 cm shorter now.
- From fat in your feet? - You shrink.
- Really? - I once lost around 20 kg.
I was on TV because of that.
What really shocked me was
that plastic clip that lets you adjust cap sizes.
That goes down a notch.
- Your head lost weight? - Yes, even my head.
I went from 153 cm to 152 cm.
- Why? - I lost weight here.
- Because of your feet? - Everything shrinks.
- Your feet shrink? - Fingers, too.
These four can't understand.
- Really? - Overweight people have big feet.
I heard that your day-to-day life has changed.
You can clip your toenails now?
I couldn't bend over, but now I reach the floor.
You're flexible now.
You cross your legs and listen to music at a cafe.
- Can you? - Yes, I can.
You aren't quite there yet.
- Work on it more. - That's not crossing your legs.
I used to have to hold on like this.
This is what crossing your legs should be like.
You're just as bad.
- Isn't that it? - No, it isn't.
Suyeong, look.
Did you have to hold on to something to sit or stand?
- Saunas were the worst. - Why?
You sit on plastic stools when you shower.
- They're the low ones. - Yes, they're so low.
I kept falling backwards while trying to sit.
I first almost sat on the floor, so I could sit on it.
Then I lifted myself onto it.
That resonates with me because I lost weight, too.
Now I can squat,
- but I couldn't when I was fat. - That's right.
- You're lying. - I swear.
Squat with your legs together.
It's easy.
You can't breathe.
- So I once... - "It's easy."
- "It's easy."
I went to a public restroom with the old toilets.
You had to squat.
I'm not kidding.
I grabbed the handles on the wall.
- They came off. - That happens.
That really happens.
- I know how he felt. - Me, too.
I fell backwards.
That's why I ended up squatting like this.
What was that?
- Seriously. - Like that?
Everything I just heard sounds so foreign.
- Really? - I had no idea.
Can you urinate like this?
How is that possible?
What was that motion?
- Why did you make that gesture? - What was that?
If it's the old toilets...
- The hand gesture. - You didn't have to do that.
We judge whether you're overweight or skinny based on
- whether you can squat with legs together. - Try it.
- Squat. - Watch his back.
Put your legs together like this and down.
(Gosh)
- You fall over. - You can't squat?
- I can do it. - You can't.
Is that hard?
Don't lift your heels.
- Heels on the floor. - Really?
- I can't do it. - Heels flat down.
- You try it. - I think Jaeseok can.
I don't know. I never tried it.
You did it.
- You did it. - I did it.
I've never tried it before, though.
- I can't squat. - Do it.
Try it.
Jin Goo is fine.
Hyunwoo failed.
- I can't sit like this. - Why not?
- Why not?
- Everyone is trying it. - This is a prime example.
Viewers at home will be going, "Hey, I can't do it."
- We all tried it. - You all should.
- It's hard. - That's strange.
Suyeong brought some clothes he used to wear.
Old clothes?
I have them here.
- When you were very overweight? - My average weight.
Your average weight?
- Can you hold it up? - Let me put it on.
- You wore this just a few months ago. - Yes, I did.
You lost a lot of weight.
- How much did you weigh when you wore it? - 155.
I wore a 50-inch waist when I was 168 kilos.
You once weighed 168 kg?
I went from 168 to 98 kg.
It's like a commercial for a TV.
50-inch and 40-inch are television sizes.
- You lost a lot of weight. - Pull it up.
- Wow. - He can fasten the button.
Of course, it fastens.
- You lost a lot. - You must have worn a belt
- around here or here. - Yes.
- You need to work on your muscles. - I am.
Hands off.
- He struggled to get this far. - I'm curious.
- A little more... - Let's see the pants.
You can take them off now.
- Hara. - Hara and Shinyoung would fit in together.
I washed them. They're clean.
Hara has a 20-inch waist.
Is your waist 20 inches?
- A 20-inch waist? - Yes, she has a 20-inch waist.
In one leg hole?
My thigh is 24 inches.
- Can you fit? - I can.
I'm 24 round here.
Is this a game?
Is this "Game Together"?
Shinyoung fits, too.
- I fit. - She fits.
- I fit. - Fasten the button.
Let's go.
Can you fasten the button?
Wear the T-shirt as well.
Put it on together.
We could compete in a race.
You would both fit in this.
- Put one arm down? - Yes.
Put one arm after the other.
You first.
This is insane.
But you two have totally different faces.
- You have such different faces. - You're so mean.
- Let me see. - They look different.
- Run. - Go.
- One, two. - They're moving.
Three, four, five.
Wow...
Two women fit into your clothes.
Don't throw them away.
- I might gain weight again. - Remind yourself.
- I might put on weight again. - If you gain...
Suyeong, there's something you must remember.
Your outer skin expanded to accommodate the weight.
Now the skin sags.
I noticed that his chest...
- Everything is sagging. - It's sagging.
- Your stomach, too. - You're right.
It will take another nine months to a year
of continuous exercise to shrink back.
He's right.
Do you have a goal?
I want to go down to 80 kg.
- That's my current goal. - I see.
Hara, don't you watch your weight?
I thought you just never get fat.
- Even if she eats a lot? - She works hard for it.
I'm the type that eats a lot, but doesn't gain weight.
That's what women hate to hear.
It's so annoying.
We have a footage of Hara showing us
- what she usually does. - Do we?
- Let's have a look. - I'm curious.
It's Pilates.
- You do Pilates, too. - That's hard.
It's a great way to work your core muscles.
That's a workout.
Isn't that a tough move?
- Have you done it for a while? - Yes, I have.
- It's been about a year. - Okay.
You could hurt yourself.
That's a really tough pose.
- It takes a lot of practice. - It does.
I'm working out to maintain a nice figure.
She looks so sexy.
It's for the summer.
This move is called "the hundred".
It's the highlight.
We say this all the time but...
You're way too sexy.
You need a zip-up top.
Raise your legs and then your chest.
Then you inhale.
(Shake arms five times as you inhale)
(Straighten legs then shake arms five times)
If you do that 100 times,
it slims your stomach.
You get flat abs.
- Hara. - Yes?
This next move is for Suyeong.
I heard he lost a lot of weight and this move
will help you get rid of some sagging skin.
Raise your hips slowly.
Push them upwards.
It's harder than you think.
Lift one leg up and inhale,
then straighten it out as you exhale.
That looks tough.
Your other thigh gets a workout supporting your weight.
Bend as you inhale and straighten as you exhale.
Straight out and back.
That looks impossible already.
Inhale and your leg should go down.
Flatten your back from the neck, a joint at a time.
Suyeong, I hope you can try this
to keep the weight off and gain a nice figure.
The second workout I'd recommend to Suyeong
is the jumping squat.
Let me show you.
Stand with your feet at shoulder-width.
Suck your stomach in.
Your knees have to stay behind your toes.
(Jump jump)
I do Pilates, strength training, and horseback riding.
- Do you ride horses? - Horses?
- Can you ride a horse that's running? - Yes, I do.
- I saw her photos online. - They canter.
Really?
- You have to be one with the horse. - As one.
Have you ever fallen off a horse?
I fell off a horse once.
I guess being athletic saved me.
If you let go of the reins, you fall like this.
But I went from sitting on the horse to hopping off it.
- You hopped off? - Like that?
Yes, and then I fell off.
- When you fall off... - Like a frog?
- I fell like a frog. - You made that up.
- I swear. - Do you?
I'm sensing a bluff ever since your restroom story.
If you do it three times, you're likely one.
We'll evaluate you after your third one.
- Are you sure? - Let her finish.
You don't need a horse to work out.
- You can still do it at home. - How?
You can work out lightly.
Do you know EXID's Up Down dance?
- It's similar to that. - How?
The horse riding stance is like a squat.
You stand up and lift your pelvis.
You push out your hips.
That's hard.
Minsang and Suyeong, give it a try.
It's a lower body workout.
The horse riding stance?
You can't ride a horse. It'll die.
I went to ride one, and he asked how much I weighed.
When I said 120 kilos, he said,
"Then, I'm sorry."
It can't stand you.
Ryu Dam had to ride a horse in a historical drama.
This was when he gained some weight.
The horse threw up halfway through his scene.
They changed the scene
so everyone else rode, but Dam walked his horse.
Do you want to try the jumping squat?
You can't just jump.
You start with the squat.
Knees at 90 degrees.
I can't even squat at 90 degrees.
- I can't even squat. - I see.
Don't say "I see."
Then when you're at home...
Lie flat on your back.
Then you relax.
Lift your legs then your chest.
That's...
It's not that easy.
Minsang, try it.
It looks easy. All you have to do is flail.
- It's really hard. - Give it a try.
- You have to do it 100 times. - 100 times?
Are you trying to make it sound impossible?
It's 100 times because it's called "the hundred".
Flail 100 times?
It helps your breathing technique
and works on your core muscles.
- It's a whole body workout. - Thank you.
- Try it. - Why me?
- Don't do this to me. - Try it.
It's just...
Legs up.
- Legs up. - Legs up.
Legs up and then your chest.
- Up. - Then raise your arms.
Raise your arms up and exhale.
- Hoo, hoo. - Hoo, hoo.
Spread your legs slightly apart and higher up.
You look like a sea lion.
- He looks like a walrus. - You look like a walrus.
"There are sea lions all over the coast."
I heard that Suyeong loves to go clubbing.
- Really? - Do you?
- I actually love to dance. - Is that so?
- I didn't have any hobbies. - You like to have fun.
He offered to dance for us if we gave him a glow stick.
- I'll dance with my bottle. - Your bottle of water.
He's flexible.
Excuse me.
(Target acquired)
He's moving in.
Stop it.
- Suyeong. - Stop it.
That wasn't a performance for our show, right?
Is that how you actually dance?
That's 100 percent for real.
Do women like it when you dance?
- They flock around me. - Do they?
- When I go to a club... - He's bluffing again.
- Hyunwoo, don't you go clubbing? - Me?
He was caught off guard.
- Don't you go? - I do go.
- I go sometimes, with my friends. - Of course.
Do you dance?
Instead of dancing, I...
- Why don't you dance? - What?
Are you afraid we'll make you?
- Why don't you dance? - You must dance.
Even on a birthday?
Hara just gave me a huge tip.
Say that again?
I heard he knows how to party.
You heard?
Music... cue!
At clubs...
No one dances like he does.
I don't dance like that.
- Show us what you do. - With some champagne.
I just sway to the beat.
Then if I see some pretty ladies...
What if you notice someone?
(Shares drinks)
Now Suyeong makes his move.
What are you doing?
- Excuse me. - What?
- It's been a while. - You, too.
Excuse me.
- What? - Sit down.
- Let me just once. - Stay down.
- Sir. - Don't you dare.
- Mr. Yu. - Do it just once, then.
- I need to move like a pop singer. - One chance.
Be confident.
- Move like a pop singer. - Move like a pop singer.
(Shinyoung's Generation)
What? I wasn't done yet.
Show us, then.
You'll dislocate your shoulder.
Are you alone?
- Are you alone? - Dad.
Hyunwoo is a bit too mean.
(Wailing at Shinyoung's touch)
(Save me)
He's honest.
Hyunwoo, you mentioned that
actor Kim Soohyun is your role model.
You worked together.
I first met him on the set of "Secretly, Greatly".
Is there a reason he's your role model?
I learned so much from him,
and I've seen so many cool sides to him.
- More so than Jin Goo? - He's right here.
Jin Goo is awesome, too.
- You're suddenly... - That was a change.
You do this a lot.
Soohyun always leads the production crew in a way.
He brings the actors together with his energy.
That's a huge driving force.
- While Jin Goo just brags about himself? - No, no.
Jin Goo...
Now it's your turn to sweat.
Both of them are equally special.
Did Soohyun teach you how to train your voice?
He has an amazing voice.
He sounds great whether he's talking or acting.
Do you have to go?
Let go. Say it here if you must.
Now do you remember?
Yejin's story that you edited out that day.
He told me that took a lot of practice.
What he told me was
it helps if an actor has a wide range of voices.
When he was in plays,
before he rose to fame,
he worked with a team of other actors.
He lowered his voice as much as he could.
- He practiced that? - Yes, he did.
He practiced speaking in a low voice.
Like a game?
They actually had that game.
You have a weak voice.
People have told me that since I was young.
- Told you what? - I have a sharp voice.
He said it might help if I spoke in a lower tone.
- I might have to try. - Perhaps...
I can give you a tip. Find a classical singer.
They can teach you that in no time.
There are all sorts of actors in musicals.
What we say has to reach the end of the hall.
Can you show us how?
Excuse me.
(What will he say?)
Can I have another bottle of soju?
What?
"Can I have another bottle of soju?"
- That was very clear. - "Excuse me."
You sounded like Ju Hyeon.
- "Excuse me." - Did you see his face?
Can I have another bottle of soju?
That was just an example.
That was so funny.
We never press the bell to call for someone.
It stings our pride.
Do you call out?
"Ding dong." We never actually press it.
- No way. - We're like that.
That doesn't make any sense.
That was a tip from a senior actor.
Let's hear your bells.
- Ding dong. - Jin Goo, you first.
- Ding dong. - That sounded nice.
- Hyunwoo. - Ding dong.
- Saeho. - Ding dong.
Forget about musicals.
I never considered it.
They don't want me, either.
I'll focus on my career here.
- Myungsoo. - Ding dong.
Myungsoo...
- Shout it out. - Lady!
Where's my soju?
It's time to dig a little into everyone's past.
- We say Sungwoo is the original Terius. - He was.
(Chiseled features)
(Amazing vocals)
(He conquered the rock scene in the 90s)
Back when you had a huge career as a singer,
did you hand out cash to friends to buy houses?
We started to get paid
three months after the album's release.
We got a certain amount per album in royalties.
Some recording labels paid out in cash.
Cash is good.
I was young at the time,
and I didn't see why I should save up.
I had no such notions.
I had friends who were just getting into music.
One married at 20 and had children.
They were struggling each day.
I felt bad, so I gave him what I was paid.
"Buy a house and feed your kid."
- "Buy a house"? - "Buy a house"?
- I did. - You bought them a house?
Yes, I did.
- Did you not care about money? - What a friend!
What if you were to go back to those days now?
- I'd still help them. - Would you?
- But? - But I'd try to save up as well.
Is it tough now that you have to live without?
I think he was the first.
Shin Sungwoo was the first person
to bring a stylist to the TV station.
Back then when we were on TV,
we wore what was in the dressing room,
or we brought our own clothes.
- He brought someone. - He had company.
Women did his hair and brought clothes.
"Who's he?"
I had a team of makeup artists
- and a team of hair stylists. - Separately.
I also had a team that altered or tailored clothes.
They also secured sponsorships.
Today he's the only one who came without a stylist.
This is why this show is so great.
We're given clothes and shoes to wear.
We're even given water to drink.
I am so comfortable since this is my second time here.
I've been doing this for years now so
I don't like having a manager around all the time.
It's bothersome.
About 15 years ago I said,
"Take care of your own business. We'll meet up later."
Do you pay your manager less, then?
- What? - Do you pay him less?
No, I don't.
To cut costs?
Not everyone thinks like you.
Sungwoo is performing in a musical right now.
What's the title?
It's called "Chess".
- Are you a chess piece? - No, I'm not.
- It's a musical. - Is he the board?
Hara, do you have an embarrassing past
or something that you'd rather hide?
I once did a show "Invincible Youth" with Shinyoung.
- It was a variety show. - I remember.
I wore a wig.
I put wooden chopsticks in my nose and broke them.
We had one target.
Our goal was to ruin the prettiest girl's image.
- The girl groups battle... - There's a battle?
They want to win.
I was really hesitant and I didn't want to do it,
but the other girls were so funny that
I got competitive.
- I shoved chopsticks inside. - She put in four.
- Did you really? - Yes, I did.
(This pretty girl...)
(The miraculous face's dark past)
- She did it out of competitiveness. - Well...
We're back with you two.
We're talking about embarrassing pasts.
What's this "born fat" and "acquired fat" thing?
There are two types of overweight people.
People who were born fat
and people who become fat later on.
- He was god-given. - What's that?
He didn't belong in either category.
He was a god-given fatso to the world.
- How heavy were you born? - I was 5.3 kg.
Was it a natural birth?
Yes, it was a natural birth.
My mom said she thought she was having twins.
An average newborn weighs 2.6 to 3.1 kg.
He was twice that.
When I was two, you know those huge noodle bowls?
I ate three servings.
- At two? - You're lying.
That amount...
- I'm serious. I'm not lying. - Are you in a myth?
I should've been in an episode of "Hunter Asia".
"Hunter Asia"?
This is...
- That's bad. - Who's that?
A young boy...
How old were you, and how much did you weigh?
I was in sixth grade, and I weighed 128 kg.
In sixth grade?
- I bet no one bothered you. - No one dared to.
- Minsang was cute. - You weren't that big.
Suyeong was large even as a boy,
but Minsang wasn't.
This was when I was around one.
That was how big I was at one.
You oozed confidence.
- I was the school bully. - You looked the part.
- You looked like the bully. - No one bothered me.
This is... Wow...
- Park Kwangdeok was a famous ssireum athlete. - Yes.
- You did ssireum. - I did.
I heard you had a great future.
Why did you quit?
I grew up watching Kang Hodong on TV,
and I wanted to be like him, so I tried to be funny.
My ssireum seniors said, "You have no future here."
"You should be a comedian."
Now my comedian seniors want me to go back to ssireum.
You should.
He sounds very...
Minsang, was there a commotion when you left school?
It was the day I graduated from elementary school.
I was holding some flowers and my yearbook.
Some burly men came over to me.
They felt my shoulders and said,
"Come to our middle school."
One of them was the ssireum coach.
After him, I met the judo coach.
Wrestling, ssireum, judo, all the coaches came over.
- Scouts. - I was a once-in-a-century talent.
They offered me a three-year scholarship.
Suyeong, why was your nickname "Carbmon"?
- "Carbmon"? - My nickname was "Carbmon".
- It meant "carbohydrate monster." - Oh, Carbmon.
I ate a minimum of six bowls of rice.
We once called him "Five Bowls"
because he ate five.
- Sometimes he ate four. - Usually he ate six.
Now they upgraded me to "Six Bowls."
Do you eat that much rice?
I can eat a lot of rice just with kimchi.
I don't like meat or fast food.
- You love carbs. - Carbs only.
He's lying, he eats all that and rice as an appetizer.
We went to eat meat, and he ate six bowls of rice.
"How about some meat?"
"I will start now." Then he started stuffing his face.
- After all that rice? - That was the starter.
What was the story with an old lady at a restaurant?
Since I eat so much rice, I ask for more side dishes.
An old lady who looked to be in her 70s yelled,
"Stop stuffing your face, you pig!"
She actually swore at me.
I thought she was one of the friendly swearing people.
Someone at another table said she never swears.
"Stop stuffing your face!"
Some go to such places to hear the friendly swearing,
but this restaurant wasn't one of those.
The old lady was actually angry.
- Even though we paid. - You ate way too much.
A normal old lady swore at you.
I worked in Daehangno as an amateur comedian.
I was a trainee.
There was this trainee from Jeju Island.
His mother sent three boxes of oranges.
They were emptied in one day.
Everyone suspected me.
I waved my hands to say I didn't eat them all,
but my hands were yellow.
- "Not me." - There were stains.
- He was showing his hands and saying no. - "Not me."
- Three boxes in a day. - You had to peel them.
- Was it you? - Yes, it was.
Three boxes?
Is there a group chat just for overweight people?
There's a guy called Park Yeongjae.
- He has the broccoli hairstyle. - I know him.
He's almost as large as I am.
One day, I got a notification and clicked on it.
"Hello, fellow pigs."
"Fellow pigs."
I gasped at it.
"I'm Park Yeongjae."
"It's time for us pigs to unite."
"We should stay in touch."
I wondered who else he'd invited.
It was Lee Gukju, Kim Junhyeon, me,
Suyeong, Kim Taewon, Kim Mingyeong,
and then Shin Giru.
All the overweight entertainers on TV.
- What do you talk about? - We take care each other.
"Watch your knee joints. They're precious."
Suyeong, it must be great to lose weight,
but do you worry that you're not as funny now?
It was a concern when I started to lose weight.
"If and when I return to comedy,"
"how will I make people laugh?"
I didn't pass the audition for being overweight.
I adopted that character after I joined the team.
- That's not what we heard. - What?
They picked you for your weight.
I heard it was "pig cholera" or something.
What did you do for the audition?
- Don't lie. - What was your act?
A pig being hit by a hammer.
That's using your weight.
- I'm a pig. Hit my head. - Ready?
(The end of the Carbmon)
You two pretended to be father and son for a sketch.
Do you really consider Minsang a father character?
Yes, I had a very gloomy and rough childhood.
My father died young and we were left with a huge debt.
Then my mother fell ill.
I needed a large amount of money.
I told Minsang about it.
"I'm in a bind. What should I do? Should I go home?"
He asked me how much more I needed.
I was about 6,000 dollars short.
- It was 7,000. - Yes, it was 7,000.
- Are you sure? - It was 7,000.
- Was it 7,000? - Did you lend him that much?
He lent me to spend it on the bill.
Don't mention it.
Now he's nagging me to pay him back.
He agreed to pay me back at the start of the year.
But anyway, he helped me out with the bill.
Just when you were working towards
becoming a comedian, your father passed away
a few months before your debut.
Because I was a trainee at a comedian camp,
I slept with the others in the basement.
I didn't even know that my father was ill.
He had told my mom not to tell me about it.
He was afraid that I'd give up on my dream for him.
That was why.
The comedian audition was about six months away,
and he had been given three months to live.
In the end, my sisters told me.
So I went home.
He was already very ill,
so I struggled with my options.
He said this to me as he passed away.
"Don't give up on your dream."
"If you do well, you can look after your mom."
That's what he said.
I told myself that he had a point.
That I could succeed and look after my mom.
But three months before I became a comedian,
he died on May 8, Parents' Day.
- He never saw you perform. - No, he didn't.
That's too bad.
(His father left a void)
(Suyeong tries each day to fill it)
(Mom, I promise to be a good son)
Welcome to the Late Night Cafeteria.
Because we have so many guests on the show,
Jin Goo and Hyunwoo will be our tasters.
Was their food not that good?
Becoming a taster means that...
- Did you bring a recipe? - I did.
- Today? - Yes, I did.
The fact that you're over there means you know why.
What was your recipe?
I brought jjambbong.
We like that.
But it's a hassle to make. It takes a while.
It sounds like a hassle already.
I'd rather go on a drive to get some.
- Some places are open 24 hours. - Yes, they are.
You two fatsos seem pleased to be here.
You're two very strong contenders.
Are we?
People who like to eat know a lot of good recipes.
They know their food.
I almost won the last time I was here.
What burger was that?
It was the Calorie Bomb Burger.
How are you supposed to eat this?
Does that contain 10,000 calories?
What? 10,000 calories?
It's more like 50 million calories.
This is a late night snack?
I think this requires some wrist action.
You can't just eat it.
Show us.
It was a culture shock.
Hara is a strong contender, too.
She's very good at cooking.
- Yes. - It's amazing.
- I do try hard. - You're ready to get married.
We all know that Sungwoo can cook.
- He might win. - Aren't you a good cook?
- He whips things up. - He does.
- He makes kimchi himself. - Is that true?
- You must have a lot of free time. - It's not that.
You can buy most things.
When I was younger and my mom couldn't visit to cook,
I had to fend for myself.
- He's lived alone for so long. - You're so frugal.
We have four food dishes today.
I have very high hopes.
We have two famous eaters
and two experienced cooks.
- You should be excited. - Should we?
Hara. Gu Hara...
- Is yours that good? - She travels a lot.
I heard that Hyunwoo is a gourmet.
- Are you? - You look up good places.
Me? I really enjoy eating delicious food.
- Who do you eat out with? - It's probably IU.
She's..." Ingi Gayo..."
- "Ingi Gayo"? - You went after "Ingi Gayo"?
Who did you meet on that show?
- Isn't that how you got close? - Yes, we did.
You were co-hosts.
We watched a bit of "The Producer" during the break.
Do you give her feedback?
I tell her I enjoy the show,
and that I'll visit her on set one day.
- Soohyun and IU. - Soohyun is in it, too.
- Your two good friends are in it. - You're right.
Could we get him to call IU for a chat?
No, no.
We're short on time.
That was the worst thing I heard all day.
- The worst? - Yes, it was.
- Sorry. - The worst?
Hara, forget my blunder.
Let's see the first dish.
- I smell it. - I'm excited.
I have very high hopes.
Our guests either can cook or enjoy food.
- That's cheap. - A dollar and 80 cents?
I'm guessing one of you two brought this in.
- Noodles? - It looks delicious.
(Cold Noodles on a Summer Night)
- It looks delicious. - It looks amazing.
Is it noodles?
It has the look of a low calorie dish.
Is it good for you?
It looks healthy.
It's perfect for a summer night.
- Could this be Hara's recipe? - No, it isn't.
- I think it's Sungwoo's. - Me, too.
It looks fantastic.
- I can hear Jin Goo gulp. - It's not fattening.
- No one is mentioning us. - No way.
- Whose is this? - It could be Minsang's.
- Minsang or... - Maybe it's Hara's.
Is it Suyeong's?
See how firm the noodles are?
Is this for them?
- It smells lovely. - Serve the tasters.
- Serve the tasters first. - Us?
It's for you. Here are some chopsticks.
I put aside a huge serving for myself.
- Thanks. - That was mine.
What a pity.
I should've been a taster, too, then.
It smells great.
We don't get to eat?
You should try the broth.
- Can we eat? - Go ahead.
- Is it good? - Can I try some of the broth?
How appetizing.
He's so cute.
What flavor is this?
- How is it? - What broth is this?
- What does it taste of? - Can I smell it?
- I want to take a sniff. - They finished it.
What smell is this?
- Is there sesame seed oil? - Sesame seed oil?
It's jjolmyeon noodles.
- Jjolmyeon noodles? - Jjolmyeon noodles?
Whose is this?
- The smell is... - Say something.
How can it be so...
- Jjolmyeon? - It's so chewy.
- Is this jjolmyeon? - How about the broth?
Whose is this?
Give me that. I want to smell it.
Take a sniff.
- To smell? - How come...
- Whose is this? - Is it fruity?
- I smell fruit. - Can something so cheap be so good?
It's awesome.
Who made this?
- I did. - See? It's Hara's.
Gu Hara.
It had to be hers.
Hara just saved Late Night Cafeteria.
What's this refreshing flavor?
Jaeseok, Jaeseok.
I only used soy sauce, vinegar and sesame seed oil.
- But I smell pears. - It's not plain water.
- It tastes of pears, right? - Yes, pears.
I didn't add any fruit.
There's a canned drink made with pear extract.
- The pear drink? - Yes, that.
- What do you think, Jin Goo? - It's amazing.
- Now I taste... - You can't have any.
Why not? What is it with you people?
- Why not? - You can't eat.
It's our law.
Jin Goo, what did you think?
Now I realize what that smell was.
- Pears, right? - It's quite strong.
Hyunwoo, what did you think?
I tasted the oil which is why I asked about it.
What about the noodles?
It's slightly sour but sweet because of the drink.
If you hadn't told us what it was made with,
we'd have thought it was naengmyeon.
The noodles were thicker than naengmyeon noodles.
- It was like udon. - It was a bit.
- It's jjolmyeon. - It's jjolmyeon. I see.
- It's jjolmyeon. - It's like Myungsoo said...
While regular oodles get soggy fast,
Jjolmyeon stays chewy for longer.
It's all in the firm texture.
It's a great idea
because noodle broth is such a hassle to make.
In the middle of a hot night,
when you're concerned about calories...
I don't know how many calories this is,
but it doesn't taste too heavy or overpowering.
- It's such a simple alternative. - It is.
You only need one can.
This is the kind of food we love here.
Gu Hara!
I'm worried about the remaining three contenders.
Everyone who tasted it can't stop praising the dish,
- but they look a little dissatisfied. - Who?
These two.
Are you not impressed?
There's no meat.
(You'll get fat)
- You looked carefully. - No meat.
There's very little salt.
What is this called?
It's "Safe from the Midnight Heat."
- "Safe from the Midnight Heat." - It's a nice name.
Even the name is perfect.
Sungwoo just clapped.
- The title... - It's perfect.
Let's bring the next dish.
- This is... - What is it?
- 7 dollars and 12 minutes. - That's expensive.
- It's seven dollars. - It takes money and time.
Anything over seven dollars should have abalone.
The most expensive dish we ever had
was Kim Suro's abalone ramen.
- Guess how much. - It was 50 dollars.
You should eat out at that price.
I'd rather eat ginseng and ramen separately.
Why would you add that to ramen?
He added ginseng.
We should ban food like that.
Let's see what this is.
- It's so pretty. - Chicken breast?
What's that?
(Chicken Breast Steak)
- What's that? - Chicken breast.
It costs over seven dollars?
Is it steak?
I can tell whose this is.
It looks like "Mom Shin's" handiwork.
- It isn't. - No?
- Suyeong or Minsang. - Me?
It's exactly like Suyeong said.
It looks like fried rice from here.
- You got me. - Right?
It's mine.
It looks like something you'd eat.
It's a good meal.
When cooked, tomatoes release six times more vitamins.
"Mom Shin" knows a lot, too.
Is that a jjajang sauce?
What's on top, Suyeong?
There's something called an acai berry.
Miranda Kerr swears by them.
Acai berries?
I added a mashed sweet potato as well
for sweetness and moisture.
It only has about 290 calories.
- On this plate? - That's low.
It's nice and sweet.
It's all about the taste.
If you eat this imagining a juicy steak,
then you'll be disappointed.
But considering health,
it's a good meal considering what's inside.
So it tastes bad.
- They aren't eating. - His face says it all.
I can see you're choking.
Plain chicken breast is boring and dry.
I think the sauce is a good idea.
People trying to lose weight eat chicken breast a lot
and you get sick of it really fast.
So like Hyunwoo said, considering the ingredients,
adding the acai berries and sweet potato...
- It's not too bad? - It helps.
Is it nice?
Is it good or does it help you swallow?
- Are you force-feeding yourself? - It helps.
- I didn't say it's good. I said it helps. - I see.
You must miss eating real steak.
I had my own secret way of losing weight.
Take-out menus have photos.
I stare at them and pretend I'm eating everything.
That's so sad.
I know what he means.
- You eat with your eyes and nose instead. - You do.
- Shinyoung, any tips? - I eat just one mouthful.
It's a single bite diet.
If I really crave something, I take one bite.
I eat one mouthful and then don't touch it.
Instead of talking about the second dish...
It's like taking a break.
As you can see,
we have little to say about it.
We don't have much to say about the taste.
- The taste... - Well...
As you can see, it's dry.
Jin Goo looked like he was chewing gum.
- Let's see what's next. - This takes a while.
Nine minutes?
- It feels like... - Six dollars and nine minutes.
What's that?
(Dip me)
(Chicken Breast in Cold Buckwheat Noodles)
- This isn't good. - Buckwheat noodles?
This is... Look at this.
This is similar to Hara's.
I had high expectations, and you haven't let me down.
It's our second noodle dish.
- What's that? - Wasabi?
- Would you like a taste? - No, thanks.
I'm not an idiot.
That's not it.
Don't I mix it in?
Not in the broth.
Don't worry, we have more.
You should've told me.
- Is this wrong? - How do you eat it?
Spread some on when you want to.
I ruined this bowl so...
It tastes nothing special.
I tried dongchimi noodles and it's awesome.
That might taste similar.
It's "Mom Shin's" recipe.
Isn't it spicy?
- It isn't. - Then give me some.
Don't you mind eating Jaeseok's leftovers?
That's a luxury.
(Goose bumps)
Too many flavors would make you crave alcohol.
Like Sungwoo said, I think
- he watches his weight. - It's quite bland.
It's not too strong.
Everything so far has been very toned down.
That means we expect more from Minsang.
It's nice.
- Mine isn't bland. - Is it not?
- It will be a climax. - Myungsoo?
I liked it.
Sungwoo's, Hara's and Suyeong's recipes
- are all very health-conscious. - They are.
Now it's time for Minsang to break through that.
I haven't looked inside, but I feel it's a monster.
It's three times heavier than usual.
You two should be pleasantly full about now.
However, aren't you feeling something is missing?
- Yes, something is missing. - Jin Goo, right?
We have the feeling that we are lack of something.
Five dollars and six minutes.
A decent time and price.
Let's see what Minsang brought for us.
One, two, three.
- What's this? - Let's go!
(Huge Bowl of Bomb Ice Flakes)
- What's this? - Let's go!
This is it!
It's perfect!
It looks great.
You people did a good job making it.
Well done.
What is that?
Here's your spoon.
What's that?
It's ice flakes.
ice flakes?
Is that it?
What's it called?
It's "Calorie Bomb Ice Flakes."
It's the second in Minsang's calorie bomb series.
What's inside?
- The stick snack... - Everything we can get
at a convenience store.
There are wafers.
- Ice cream, chocolate... - Jelly.
- Chocolate cookies. - Another 10,000 calories?
- Condensed milk? - Of course.
There are gummy bears.
Is this fit for human consumption?
How many servings is this?
You can't finish it in one go.
Did you see the look in Jin Goo's eyes?
"I will take you down."
Have you seen anything like this?
- Never in my dreams. - Wow.
Some place might start selling this after today.
"Washbowl Ice Flakes."
It looks like a really dirty ashtray.
Don't say that about food.
It looks like a lot of cigarette butts.
That's how bad it is for your health.
Have you eaten this before?
My heart's beating out of my chest.
Smash it all up as you would with adzuki ice flakes.
- Mash it up. - Let me...
It looks so good.
This is ice flakes show.
It looks nice.
It's ice flakes party.
The black cookies.
- Smash them well. - Okay.
Sing for us.
Ice flakes, adzuki ice flakes.
You don't need any adzuki bean.
- You don't need adzuki beans. - No adzuki beans?
Wow, this is...
You ruined the other three dishes.
It's not crushed ice. It's crushed frozen milk.
Yes. That's why it's good.
There's more than enough to go around.
This is a serious calorie bomb.
I don't know what it looks like on your TVs
but if you ever dream of eating this...
Share with a crowd.
This is ideal for a huge family gathering.
Share with the relatives.
- Eat this on Armageddon. - Don't say that.
Don't approach it that way.
Like I said, some people want to gain weight.
- People like Hara. - Yes, they do.
If you never gain weight, eat.
People who are stressed out.
Oddly enough, it's easy to mix.
It's time to dig in.
We should all try some.
Don't I need a ladle for this?
You might need this.
- There's one behind you. - Get it for me.
- There it is. - It's over there.
It looks like it's been sitting here for so long.
It's perfect for a movie night.
The ladle...
You can't expect me to use this.
Is this a comedy sketch?
Seriously.
- Here you go. - Stop fooling around.
Your ladle.
Jaeseok.
These are for the tasters.
Do we have to finish it?
You can put the leftovers in the freezer.
- You mean this? - Then melt it again and eat.
It's like a sundae or a parfait.
It's forever love.
It looks like you're sharing.
There's fruit, too.
Jin Goo is really enjoying it.
- Well? - My teeth hurt.
It's cold.
Of course it is. It's frozen.
Because of all the stuff inside
- it's really good. - Of course it is.
- It's delicious. - Jaeseok would love it.
- Could this taste bad? - Never.
It can never taste bad.
Unless you add gochujang in there.
There's so much inside
that it lost the identity of what true ice flakes are.
There are no adzuki beans.
They're much smaller than these, but some shops
do sell ice flakes that are high in calories.
They're covered in chocolate.
I feel cool down.
- See the vapor from the mouth. - It's great.
I think Hyunwoo has a childish taste in food.
- He likes it. - Is it good?
- It's good. - He's enjoying it.
Tasters, it's your job to comment on the food.
Comment on it.
Are you in pain?
There's something in there that shouldn't be there.
What's that?
- The bears. - The gummy bears.
That's why I said no.
I disagreed with that idea at first.
The black cookies are awesome.
- Awesome? - They're delicious.
I just remembered something.
If Suyeong craves ice flakes while he's on his diet,
he can mix some protein powder in water.
Then freeze that mix and take it with you.
- Does it taste bad? - No, it's good.
That's good?
It is good at the time you eat.
It feels like I had a course meal
- with dessert. - Yes.
We started with some cold noodles
and had a chicken steak.
Then we ate some buckwheat noodles
- and a great dessert. - Ice flakes.
I think I will sleep well tonight.
- It's health versus calories. - That's right.
We had two tasters today.
Let's vote. One, two, three.
- Tada. - Gu Hara.
Hara, Hara, Hara, Minsang, Sungwoo.
Minsang voted for himself.
Hey! Don't do this to me.
Hara goes to the final.
Gu Hara.
It's "Safe from the Midnight Heat."
Gu Hara.
Isn't that too close up?
I'll show you how to make my noodles.
With a canned drink...
When we have to cook in the summer,
- we hate using the stove. - That's right.
- It's tough, cooking in the summer. - It is.
It's so simple.
- One can? - Yes, you need one can.
- It doesn't take too long. - Exactly.
Per can, two spoonfuls of soy sauce.
- Two spoonfuls. - Two tablespoonfuls.
Anything simple and delicious can be a luxury meal.
One spoonful of vinegar.
This is what Myungsoo loves about Late Night Cafeteria.
Use any good ingredient and you can be a chef.
- A spoonful of sesame seed oil. - That's a lot.
Before I knew what it was, I thought it was meaty.
It's so simple.
That's it.
- See? - That's awesome.
That's so fast.
It's really simple.
Then add the noodles.
If you like it extra cold, add some ice cubes.
- That makes the noodles extra chewy. - Exactly.
Such obvious observations...
- It's too obvious. - Anyone knows that.
Dried seaweed has this unique flavor.
Hara, Hyunwoo wants a lot of seaweed.
- Do you want some more? - Yes.
You want more?
- Can't I have more? - You can.
- It's so good. - Dock his pay.
- And finally... - What's that?
- Sesame seeds.
Sesame seeds.
You have to crush them.
It adds to the flavor.
- That's how we eat pork cutlet. - Yes.
Just watching her make it...
It looks like she's actually cooking something.
Your future husband will love you.
It's done.
- Try it with the broth. - We'll clean up.
How... How do we get the broth?
Suyeong, how is it?
- It's good. - You look happy.
- Do you like it? - It's really good.
- Is it? - Better than yours?
Yes, better than mine.
How about you, Minsang?
- It's very nice. - Is it?
It's a good combination of sweet and savory.
- It's lovely. - Isn't it? Misun, what do you think?
- Jeolla-do has sugar noodles. - They do.
Just noodles in sugary water.
This tastes like that.
It's delicious.
Don't just eat this alone.
Try it with dongchimi or kimchi.
You could add chicken breast.
That would work, too.
It's such a simple dish.
It suits Late Night Cafeteria very well.
- It has to be jjolmyeon. - That's true.
Add some chopped kimchi,
and it will sell for five dollars.
Five dollars is a bit...
You can afford that much.
He's rich and he won't even spend that much.
- That's a bit expensive. - What?
- Jin Goo, isn't it still good? - It's great.
- I will try making this at home. - Me, too.
You have to vote critically and honestly.
Just so our viewers at home can tell how good it is.
She needs over four votes.
Hara, any final arguments?
- It's simple. - It is.
The ingredients are cheap.
It would work at least once as a late-night snack.
I'm pleased enough that you enjoyed it.
That's so sweet.
Gu Hara.
I'll join your fan club.
Ready? One, two, three.
It's unanimous.
- Gu Hara, Gu Hara. - Gu Hara, Gu Hara.
