(One day our crew got a call.)
It's me.
(Kim Seung Woo asked to come to Radio Star.)
What? He's going where?
(His colleagues watched his performance.)
Oh, no!
He was crazy.
(He was crazy.)
I'm dying here.
I'm preparing a lawsuit.
(His younger colleagues reveal all.)
(Things get heated up.)
(Welcome Seung Woo and his friends.)
That was hilarious.
It might be a good year.
(The first show of the new year...)
(begins now.)
The 2015 MBC Entertainment Awards.
(Grand Prize)
- Kim Gu Ra. - Kim Gu Ra.
- Kim Gu Ra! - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - It goes to Kim Gu Ra.
The Grand Prize goes to...
Kim Gu Ra.
- Let's give him some applause. - Yes.
Thank you.
You had said you won't attend the award ceremony.
- He said he'd go to the East Sea. - He did.
- But you were still there... - It's so awkward.
- hosting the show. - Right.
Is it possible in Korea to skip such an event?
It's possible only in Hollywood.
Congratulations.
It isn't news anymore but...
- that day... - We celebrated.
(Gu Ra hosted a party.)
Gu Ra hosted a party to celebrate...
and invited three teams.
"Radio Star", "My Little Television" and "King of Mask Singer".
It was almost like a private party.
It was not.
You followed the Hollywood system.
All we lacked were pretty girls.
It wasn't like Hollywood. We ate dakgalbi.
(We ate dakgalbi.)
A friend messaged me to say that...
- Gu Ra said "Actually" too often. - I see.
- So I decided to count. - And?
During his four-minute acceptance speech,
- he said it 20 times. - "Actually"?
Actually, people in this industry...
Actually, including the crew...
(He started off by saying it twice.)
Actually, actually...
(10th, 11th)
(He should change his name to Kim Actually.)
Actually, actually...
I can't actually name everyone...
Actually, at this moment...
Actually, actually...
Thank you very much.
(He said it 20 times.)
Celebrities have their own unique speech patterns.
- Don't bother. - "Celebrities"?
Actually...
(The gentle smile of the Grand Prize winner.)
Today we welcome four guests...
who asked to come on the show,
but we have no idea why they're here.
- It's "Why Are You Here special". - Right.
Our first guest...
does comedy, action and romance...
in movies and dramas.
He has amazing acting skills...
- and a 27-year career. - That long?
But we know him better for being on...
"Win Win" and "One Night Two Days".
(A bitter smile)
All he has to brag about is a beautiful wife...
and famous actor friends.
Please welcome the well-connected Kim Seung Woo.
Our next guest was in MBC weekend dramas...
"Pots of Gold" and "Mum", where he made...
the ladies swoon.
Han Ji Min, Lee Bo Young and Soo Ae...
are the actresses he worked with,
but we can't say he's a top star or that he's very well-known.
He just barely made it into the "Handsome actor" category.
Please welcome Lee Tae Sung.
The third guests has a somewhat...
shaky career when it comes to dramas and movies,
but when it comes to musicals, he's a top star.
But on Radio Star,
we remember him for imitating various foreign languages.
He's just a talented funny guy.
- We have Actor Oh Man Seok. - Okay.
Our last guest used to be...
a famous scene-stealer in movies and dramas.
But Bae Sung Woo, Park Sung Woong, Don Lee and Jung Man Sik...
have since taken his place.
All I'm doing is just reading my script.
He says...
What are you scared about? You'll be enlisted soon.
Soon, but not yet.
He says ad-lib is the easiest thing to do, and he can be funny.
Please welcome Actor Kim Jung Tae, the king of ad-lib.
- Come on in. - What a group.
- Welcome. - Seung Woo.
- It's great to see you. - Hello.
- It's your first time on our show. - Yes.
We didn't even invite you on, but you gathered three friends...
and volunteered, like Yoo Sae Yoon turning himself in.
- He's that desperate. - You came to us.
- Someone's after him. - Don't compare me to Yoo Sae Yoon.
- Anyway... - Is this a police station?
- We're promoting a film. - We know that.
- That's why we're here. - Your interview went viral, too.
What's it called?
- "Chasing". - "Chasing".
Who directed it?
- A director called Oh In Cheon. - "Oh In Cheon"?
- Is that his real name? - His name is Oh In Cheon.
I'm not sure if I should say this,
but there was a Hollywood blockbuster...
titled "Incheon" that won a Golden Raspberry Award.
- I know it. - It depicted the Battle of Incheon.
That movie suddenly came to mind.
Don't say that. You shouldn't make fun of names.
Isn't Oh In Cheon a good director?
You could say so.
(If only we could turn back time.)
Is there a reason you're seated like this?
- This is how we were told to sit. - Is that so?
- He planned this arrangement. - No, I didn't.
Seung Woo decided who should sit where.
It's in the the order of the amount of affection he has for the person.
- It is not. - So you adore Tae Sung.
That means you like Jung Tae the least.
(He throws the water bottle.)
I didn't say that.
- He isn't happy. - He's in a bad mood.
- He has a cold right now. - He's touchy.
(Whatever)
- Seung Woo said to our producer, - Yes.
"I am willing to even dance naked."
"I will guarantee a video call with Kim Nam Ju."
You made all those pledges.
What do you mean you'd even dance naked?
- We refuse that offer. - We...
MBC has a history with inappropriate nudities.
Don't go there.
- You're right. - Hide that pouch.
Don't do that.
What about the video call?
Just a call, not a video call.
- Just a call? - Yes.
- He said "video call". - Right.
What I hate the most is when truth gets distorted.
We're experts at distorting the truth.
- He's good. He's very good. - He's good.
- On TV you didn't seem to do much. - He plays his role.
- You're good. - All my funny quotes get cut out.
I'm impressed. I hope this one makes the cut.
(Seung Woo likes Kyu Hyun's wit.)
Man Seok, the last time you were on, you thanked Gu Ra...
- for making you the host of "Taxi". - Yes.
We heard that after two years of hosting, you got a bit rude.
You told our crew that Radio Star should replace the hosts.
You're joining the army soon.
- Is it me again? - Yes.
Who else can I target here?
That's perfect. He just got discharged.
They could swap seats.
- Tae Sung? - He's witty. See how he does today.
- Okay. - He hasn't said a word.
- See how it goes today. - Shall we?
I forgot he was here.
He can be funny. Give him a chance.
Just replacing Kyu Hyun isn't much of a shuffle.
Replacing him is more like snipping off a tail.
A shuffle means we all go. Losing just one is nothing.
- It's a partial adjustment. - What?
(It's a partial adjustment.)
- Seo Jang Hoon wants this spot. - That really hurt.
- Everyone who sits there leaves. - Really?
I lasted the longest.
- You didn't. - I did it for over four years.
- Really? - S stayed on for three years.
- S wasn't with us for long. - Why do I remember him, though?
The past tends to get glorified.
What happened to S shouldn't be glorified.
- It shouldn't. - Right?
- It's not nice. - What he did was wrong.
- He had some funny moments. - He had a certain style.
How do you get along with Lee Young Ja?
- Great. She's so nice to me. - Is she?
Why did you look down as you answered?
- Did she beat you up? - Not at all.
When telling a lie, one tends to look down.
She's so good to us.
- She bought clothes for managers. - I see.
- Did she? - Yes.
- Isn't that a bit too much? - She has an ulterior motive.
- Each week she jokingly says... - Hang on.
"Let's get married."
(Marry me.)
- She's going for it. - "Marry me."
People who work together tend to get emotionally attached.
- Right. - Don't you feel that?
- Like Jung Ja said, do you... - "Jung Ja"?
Like Jung Tae said,
do you have absolutely no interest in her?
I don't know if she means it or not, but she keeps making such comments.
She keeps wanting to go home with you after the shoot.
- Does she? - I was on the show.
It ended late at night and she wanted to go to his place.
I'm preparing a lawsuit.
(Defendant: Lee Young Ja, Plaintiff: Oh Man Seok)
Seung Woo hosted a famous KBS talk show called "Win Win".
When asked how it was compared to Radio Star,
he answered that Radio Star is a downgraded show.
I didn't say "downgraded". I said "lower quality".
- It's the same thing. - While on "Win Win",
I won an award for promoting the correct use of our language.
I'm not suited for shows like this.
- Who were his co-hosts? - Mr T.
Wasn't there Mr S?
- No. - T sat to his right.
- There was a different S. - That's right.
Everyone on that show got into some kind of trouble.
S and T.
How dare he calls our show "downgraded"?
- None of us got into trouble. - That's right.
We can say they beat us in a way.
- Seung Woo, you said that... - Yes.
we'd get to see a whole new side of Tae Sung.
- In what way? - When you see him on TV,
- he looks like a privileged kid. - He does.
He's not like that.
- He looks like it so far. - Right? He seems awkward.
That's not who he is.
- He used to play baseball. - I know that.
Which high school?
- Ansan Technical High School. - I see.
- Isn't it famous? - It has a strong baseball team.
- What position? - Pitcher.
A pitcher?
- Straight balls? - Yes.
- What was your fastest ball? - I threw at 143km/h in high school.
- Wow. - That's amazing.
Who were your teammates?
I trained with Kim Kwang Hyun since primary school.
- Kim Kwang Hyun? - Yes.
- He throws some impressive balls. - He does.
Hwang Jae Kyun is a few years younger than me.
- Hwang Jae Kyun? - Yes.
He recently failed to sign with a Major League team.
- Jae Kyun... - He renewed his contract.
- Yes, for 500,000 dollars. - You know a lot.
- I do. - And Actor Yoon Hyun Min.
- Yes, that's right. - Yes.
- He was on our show. - He was.
- He had scrawny legs. - Yes.
(Oh, dear)
Let's give Tae Sung the floor and let him woo us.
- Show us what you can do. - It's your time to shine.
- We'll give you a few minutes. - Are you ready to fall in love?
- If this works, you're a star. - Yes.
- He prepared a few things. - Did he?
First, he will impersonate Kim Min Jong.
Just to warm up.
Are you all ready to laugh?
- He's getting revved up. - There's so much pressure.
I can feel the pressure.
- Kim Min Jong... - Seung Woo made him do it.
- I need to get ready. - This is it.
He's coming.
- He's here. - He's here.
You may see someone else but I'm Kim Min Jong
(Glancing)
- Seung Woo. - It's not bad.
It's not bad.
- The Grand Prize changed you. - It didn't.
- That was a good pitch. - You're on first base.
Next.
- He'll impersonate Park Hyo Shin. - Can you do that?
Let's hear it.
Park Hyo Shin in the dark
That wasn't too bad.
- I sensed a bit of Park Hyo Shin. - It wasn't bad.
- Hyo Shin's in there somewhere. - He was.
I feel it.
- Me, too. - Third.
This is a popular one. Bobby Kim.
Are you sure?
Four seasons and Bobby Kim, Bobby Kim
- That wasn't bad. - You're laughing too hard.
- It wasn't that great. - I've never heard this one before.
It wasn't too bad. I like this sort of things.
- Finally... - Slapstick.
- Slapstick? - We call it "slapstick".
- Slapstick. - Okay.
If you expect something funny, then it isn't funny anymore.
What was that?
They didn't get it. The cameras are over there.
- They missed it. - Go to the front.
Slapstick doesn't work if you expect to see something funny.
Say I'm walking along and I trip like this.
(Tumbling)
- He's good. - Well...
I didn't think he'd go for something so basic.
- It's not easy. - It's really hard.
Hey.
- It's really hard. - Hey.
It's really hard.
That was it. That's what we needed.
- That was it. - That was it.
He stepped on the home plate.
That made me feel really good.
- That was pretty good. - Yes.
- You raised our hopes. - Does this count as a talent?
- Of course. - You ask now, after all that?
(We have a variety show rookie on our hands.)
I guess Seung Woo's the broker for Jung Tae.
I heard that Seung Woo helped you come out on Radio Star today...
and also "King of Mask Singer".
Well, it's because he's the eldest...
in our company,
and I can ask him for advice.
- I discuss things with him a lot. - You were good in that show.
- He sang very well. - Yes, he did.
(He sang with a captivating voice as Kim Satgat.)
He is Actor Kim Jung Tae.
(He shocked everyone with his appearance.)
- Seung Woo strongly recommended. - Yes, because he sings very well.
He's actually a sensitive person.
He usually plays tough characters, but...
he's very sensitive and likes to write, as well.
Then why did you place him the farthest from you?
He's using a battle strategy called crane wing formation.
Yes, I'm sure.
- The crane wing formation? - Okay.
(The four generals in the battle of variety shows)
It seems that the four of you are connected...
through work.
- Are you all in the same company? - Yes.
Are you the owner?
- I wouldn't say that. - Yes, you can say that.
(Yes, you can say that.)
But I heard that none of you received a down payment.
A down payment? You mean their faith?
(Faith as down payment?)
- It's faith. - Really?
It's loyalty.
This show does relieve some of our concerns.
(This show does relieve some of our concerns.)
Usually the ones that don't get the down payment...
are the trainees.
That's why I keep training them.
Can we record this part?
(Can we record this part?)
For me it was a bit difficult to agree in the beginning.
(It was difficult to agree at first.)
I was thinking about talking to someone about this...
because I thought I wasn't sure if it would involve the court.
I thought about it a lot.
What about you, Man Seok?
I think he's already preparing a lawsuit.
- Really? - After the issue with Lee Young Ja?
Yes, I'm very busy lately with lawsuits.
You should go with the Attorney K.
I think I know who that is.
He loves celebrity cases.
(He's a good celebrity lawyer.)
It seems that there are a lot of complaints.
Man Seok would like to use a van.
(Man Seok wants a van.)
That's nothing compared to this one.
Jung Tae's request is more urgent.
He wants his engine oil changed.
(He wants his engine oil changed.)
Yes, it needs to be changed regularly.
Don't you visit the car service centres?
It should be changed every 7,000km.
- Maybe not as often as 5,000km. - But you could do it.
Maybe not as often as every 5,000km.
I don't mind changing it myself...
because it's not that expensive.
But I need the washer fluid put in at least.
(But I need the washer fluid put in at least.)
That only costs about two dollars.
- You should at least do that. - Yes.
The truth is that...
I'm the actor with the second highest income in our company.
- Who earns the most? - Kim Nam Ju does.
It's obvious she earns the most.
- What's the name of your company? - The Queen.
- The Queen? - It's obviously for...
- Kim Nam Ju. - It's named after her.
What were the conditions of her contract?
She also didn't get the down payment.
Of course not. She would only ask for more.
It's unnecessary.
I just remembered something...
about B-One Entertainment,
- where Lee Bong Won was the CEO. - Yes.
His wife Park Mi Sun made their main income.
(He almost sprayed his water.)
- That's a similar situation. - Yes.
- Their wives are the hard workers. - Yes, it seems so.
(They were lucky to have met their supportive wives.)
The order of their drinking capacities goes...
Seung Woo, Man Seok, Tae Sung and Kim Jung Tae.
Jung Tae can't drink much so he's tired of drinking until dawn.
Yes, it's very tough.
(He's tired of drinking until dawn?)
Can't you leave in the middle?
I'm the second eldest person in our company,
so it wouldn't be nice if I left earlier.
I almost pass out.
And these guys are usually very quiet.
- They don't talk much, - Do they only drink?
- but as soon as they drink... - Do they talk more?
It's like Jekyll and Hyde.
They change completely.
It's as if a table turns around.
If Seung Woo's wife is there too,
she changes with them.
And after...
I witness their transformation, in 15 to 20 minutes, I pass out.
But that 15-minute period is really something to watch.
We had a New Year's party.
- All the actors died. - Really?
And five rookie actors went missing.
(That's too much.)
And the actress was found unconscious.
(The actress was unconscious.)
At least I'm good at buying them drinks.
- Well... - He usually buys the drinks.
- He always pays for our drinks. - Right.
He's full of energy.
(He is full of energy.)
You said that Seung Woo changes completely...
when he gets drunk.
From what I have observed, when he drinks one or two bottles,
- about half of his body changes. - I see.
But if he keeps on drinking,
his hips are no longer his own.
(His hips are no longer his own.)
I heard he can swing his hips like a rotating grindstone.
He's known as the lady with grindstone hips.
His isn't at all like a grindstone.
He spins like a blender.
- I want to see that. - Can we see that?
- Of course. - Really?
But we don't have drinks here.
- Come on. - Come on.
- Let's give him a big hand. - Yes.
We just need to clap.
- We need music. - Just do what you usually do.
I don't remember it because I only do it when I'm drunk.
I need a different song.
What song was it? "Up and Down"?
- "Up and Down"? - It's a good song to dance.
It's a good song to dance.
- Wait. - Go.
Go.
(His body responds to the music.)
(Moving his hips up and down)
(Up and down, up and down)
That's about it.
(He's flexible.)
(His hips don't lie.)
(Embarrassed)
- He can really move. - His hips are...
You're very flexible.
- That was very good. - It was not.
I'm sure it'd be even more impressive with a few drinks.
When it comes to dance, Seung Woo is good,
- but we can't leave out Man Seok. - I know.
- That's right. - He's a musical actor.
Last time he was on Radio Star, he showed us his moves.
(He displayed his charms the last time he was here.)
(Mischievous)
I'm sure that you've upgraded your moves.
- Let's give him a big hand. - Yes.
- Dance again. - Music, please.
I'm just going to dance randomly.
(Excited)
He's a very good dancer.
(Flapping)
(Pulling off difficult moves?)
Your shoes!
- What just happened? - What was that?
(That's mine.)
- You're wearing insoles? - Are those insoles?
(Fixing his hair)
You're already tall. You don't need to wear insoles!
- He wears insoles! - Somebody put these in somehow.
What? I'm sure you ordered someone to do it.
There is no need for these because we're sitting down.
- That was shocking. - That person knew you'd dance.
His shoe and insole flew at the same time.
- That was something. - I think...
that's a sign that you'll have a good year.
- And Tae Sung. - Is he going to dance?
- Of course. - He's also a good dancer.
- One of his hobbies is dancing. - Really?
- I think that he loves dancing. - That is wrong information.
The person in charge of marketing in my old agency...
needed to upload my profile on the internet.
So the person just wrote anything. But that profile is still there.
I thought this was his actual hidden talent. It's too bad.
Let's see it.
Nothing is impossible.
It's my first time seeing him dance.
He put his hands in his pockets.
(Following the rhythm)
He's following the rhythm.
(One, two, one, two)
(Pointing)
(He suddenly starts shaking his bottom.)
- What is that? - What is that?
(He's the king of the dance floor.)
What is that?
(Dancing with a serious face)
- He's doing the crab dance! - Not bad!
That's not bad at all.
What kind of dance is this?
That kind of dance could look cool,
if you do it at the club under the lights.
- Really? - Yes.
That was very cute.
Should we ask to cut out the part about your insoles?
- It's okay. - Don't worry.
I never knew they were there.
- You don't need them. - I never asked for them.
His stylist must be kind-hearted.
She put them there without telling him.
(She put them there without telling him.)
Tae Sung, I heard that you played baseball in high school.
You used to get injured so often that your nickname was "hospital".
Yes. I always got injured.
I once got electrocuted while changing a light bulb.
Bae Chul Soo also got electrocuted a long time ago. Right?
Yes, I saw that on live TV.
(Bae Chul Soo got shocked as soon as he touched the mic.)
Your body would light up.
This isn't some cartoon.
- His skeleton would show. - He's not an electric eel.
How did that happen?
It was because of the wires on the floor and the rain.
- My shoes had metallic spikes. - Right.
So my body was the conductor.
What happened?
(His amazing electrocution acting)
That's what happened.
Wow.
You're good at this.
- I told you. - He's a good actor.
That was good.
- He was funny. - You're the best.
He tells his story using his specialty.
Yes.
That way, it looks very natural.
So what happened after you got shocked?
I passed out for about 20 to 30 minutes.
So you quit baseball because of your injuries?
- Yes. - What was your most serious injury?
- My shoulders and elbow were hurt. - I see.
I also heard that you got water in your lungs.
That was during my field training.
We had to reach the top of the mountain and return.
On my way down, I found a spring.
I was very thirsty then.
So I drank the water too quickly.
- You can get sick like that. - The water went down my airway.
What happened?
I passed out after I got back.
- Again? - That time, too?
- You pass out a lot. - How did you pass out?
How would you act out having a blocked airway?
- How is it different? - It must be different.
If you manage this one too, it will be perfect.
- I think he will manage. - He will.
- You'll be re-evaluated. - It won't be easy.
You have to manage it.
I'll try.
- Was it as soon as you drank it? - I drank the water...
- then I ran down the mountain. - Okay.
After shouting "I arrived first!", I was standing by.
But then I was like, "Oh, I'm..."
Sorry, I can't do this.
I knew you couldn't.
- I can't. - This one is hard. Don't even try.
You don't have to do this.
He shouldn't have made you do this.
I wanted to push him a little bit.
It was okay to say he can't do this.
It's good to be honest.
Nobody could've managed this one.
(Variety shows are hard.)
Seung Woo, you're the owner of the baseball club, "Playboys".
- These two belong to the club. - It's famous.
- You own the club? - Even Jang Dong Gun is a member.
The members include Jang Dong Gun, Hwang Jung Min,
- Hyun Bin and Park Seo Jun. - Even Yoon Bak.
Yoon Bak is one of them.
- We have those members. - Oh, Yoon Bak.
We have some new members.
Tae Sung, when you were on the way to Guam for your training...
with Hyun Bin and Joo Jin Mo,
something embarrassing happened?
- You even train abroad? - Really?
Yes, we once went to Guam for training.
Since we were actors,
we received some special service at the airport...
including priority check-in.
But I overheard an airport personnel saying,
"There's no celebrity on the list."
- Right. - The list went like this.
- Park Jin Tae, - Who's that?
- Kim Tae Pyeong, Lee Seong Deok. - Oh, Tae Pyeong.
Jin Tae is Joo Jin Mo's real name.
They said, "The only celebrity is Kim Seung Woo."
(The only celebrity is Kim Seung Woo.)
- His real name is Hyun Dong. - I'm Hyun Dong.
(Gu Ra's real name is Hyun Dong.)
They should've announced, "Grand Award goes to Kim Hyun Dong."
- But they said "Gu Ra" instead. - They did.
Did you officially change your name or is it just your stage name?
Why would I officially change my name?
- That name brought you luck. - "Gu" as in "Guro-gu".
"Gu Ra" has always been my nickname.
- Oh, really? - Ever since I became a comedian.
- "Gu" as in "Guro-gu"? - I don't believe that.
You're the Grand Award winner now. Why don't you change it to "Truth"?
(What did you just say?)
He's not that good at making jokes.
- Stop it. - With the funny subtitles,
- it'll sound funny. - What about...
"Kim Lie"? Since it means the same thing...
as "Gu Ra".
Why are you asking me?
What about "Kim Blackmail"?
(Kim Blackmail)
I like "Kim Blackmail" better than "Kim Lie" at least.
- I like "Blackmail" better. - Or "Kim Extortion".
("Kim Blackmail" or "Kim Extortion")
Stop it.
Man Seok and I...
have much in common.
- You're a single dad. - Yes.
How long have you been a single dad?
It's been about eight years.
- I think it's been eight years. - He's more experienced than you.
- It's a long time. - How old is your daughter?
- She's in seventh grade. - Oh, she grew up a lot.
- My son will be in 12th grade soon. - Right.
- I came home after 3am last night. - And?
- He was up? - He was waiting for me...
playing computer games.
(Hi, Dad)
Now that my daughter's grown up so much, she acts a bit like a mum.
Really?
When I'm sleeping after I come home late,
she sneaks in and covers me with the blanket.
- She does? - Wow.
- Yes, she does. - That's so sweet.
Doesn't she cover you up to here?
(What?)
That would be weird.
That's a murder.
She doesn't drag you out?
Cut it out.
- By the way, Man Seok. - Yes.
- I also watched this scene. - Okay.
- At "2014 Daejong Film Awards", - Oh, that one.
you accepted the award on behalf of your ex-wife.
- It was so cool. - It was memorable.
It was an act befitting a Hollywood event.
- What I thought was... - It was so cool.
- It was great. - He reminds me of the actor,
Javier Bardem.
So I was like, "What is this? Is this Hollywood?"
Award for Best Costume Design goes to Jo Sang Gyeong.
Congratulations.
I'll accept it on behalf of her.
- I'll do it. - It's okay.
- She asked me in person, actually. - Okay.
I'll do it.
She's actually...
my ex-wife.
(She's actually my ex-wife.)
(His candid confession surprised everyone.)
(That's unexpected.)
I thought no one else could have done that.
- I was very surprised. - Is your ex-wife cool about it too?
Yes, cooler than I am.
Did she ask you to accept the award on behalf of her?
She asked me to do that in case she wins the award...
- beforehand. - That's so cool.
- So you're friends now? - Sure.
We meet up for lunch from time to time.
And you discuss things about your daughter?
- Of course. - You take turns in having her?
No, she stays with me all the time.
She's fixed with you.
- "Fixed"? - Yes, she is.
Like a fixed schedule?
I mean...
Is my schedule fixed?
(Is my schedule fixed?)
Seung Woo, you recommend actors to marry another actor.
It doesn't have to be with an actor,
but it's good to marry someone in the same field.
Because actors are hard to be understood.
He had married someone in the same field.
(He had married someone in the same field.)
You can't bring that up.
Why not?
It's not a taboo or anything.
(Guzzling down the water)
(Dancing his anger away)
(I'm sorry.)
Gu Ra recently made an announcement.
When his son moves out, he wants to find an actress who was born...
- sometime between 1982 and 1985. - How old would they be then?
In their mid-30s.
- He'd like to date one of them. - An actress?
- Yes. - He specifically said that.
- Specifically. - Actresses.
All actresses born in those years...
are avoiding him.
(Avoiding Gu Ra)
A watch has been issued.
I was just joking.
- No one found it funny. - It wasn't funny at all.
- No one laughed. - We were just lost for words.
(We were just lost for words.)
Tae Sung is actually a single dad, too.
- Isn't it hard? - Of course, it's hard.
Especially when I was in the army.
- How old is your kid? - He's five years old.
- Already? - He's five?
Who's raising him?
My parents look after him.
His parents are still young.
They looked after his kid while Tae Sung was in the army.
The child also improved their relationship.
- Really? - Yes.
The kid brought luck.
You should really thank your parents.
You really should.
- And you should find a good woman. - Yes.
Fall in love with an actress.
(Fall in love with an actress.)
You're obsessed with actresses.
- He's an actress enthusiast. - It's not like that.
- I'm just saying. - Let me ask you.
How is it to live with an actress?
She can, of course, understand me better as a fellow actor.
- But couples should be compatible. - You're right.
When I drink, I always have my last round with my wife.
I heard that.
No matter how drunk he is,
- he'd drink with her. - Really?
Yes, I'd wake her up if she's in sleep.
That could never happen between me and my wife.
- Why not? - When I come home drunk,
I turn into a flatfish.
I turn flat and sneak into the bed.
She was so much taller than you at the awards.
She was in such high heels.
The difference is not as big in reality.
- She was this much taller. - Right.
We have a married couple as our next presenters.
(Jong Shin and his wife were among the presenters.)
She's a lot taller than Jong Shin.
Jong Shin, are you sure you don't need to step on something?
Don't you need thicker insoles?
But the nice thing is that she can't find me so well.
I usually succeed in sneaking in.
You're out of her sight.
- Tae Sung, how old are you? - I was born in 1985.
Oh, I see.
- What about you, Kyu Hyun? - I was born in 1987.
- He was born in 1988. - I was born in early 1988.
- He's older than you. - We're about the same age.
No way.
And he's gone through so much more than you have.
He went through a lot as a baseball player, too.
But Kyu Hyun went through a lot as well.
- I had almost died once too. - Oh, I remember now.
- I went through a lot as well. - Right.
- I forgot. - I was in coma for four days.
- I'm sorry. Why are you so upset? - What happened?
Should we all brag about how much we went through?
Why were you in coma?
- When he was in Super Junior... - We had a car accident.
- He got hurt the most. - Right.
We shouldn't look down on you.
- Be nice to him. - Be nice to me.
Jong Shin had a part of his intestines removed.
(Terrifying)
Have you ever had your intestines removed?
(I'll be nice to you.)
- Cheer up, Tae Sung. - Okay.
(Wrapping it up too fast)
Why are you wrapping up like that?
- You don't have to pity him. - Well...
We have three single dads here.
We have four.
- He's not a dad. - No.
- Remember we have our kids with us. - Yes.
(What is he doing?)
- What are you doing? - Is this "AM Plaza"?
- You shouldn't pity him. - This is a morning show for ladies.
We need Yoon Mun Sik as our guest.
Remember we have our kids.
My son was staying up, waiting for me last night.
- He was playing computer games. - Right.
Did he give you a hug for winning the award?
He said, "Dad."
"Why are people blaming Ray Yang?"
So I told him not to care about it.
Your son understands things so well.
(Are you okay, Dad?)
I texted Ray Yang...
that she shouldn't care about what people say.
You did?
- Do people still care about it? - In the dressing room,
he was complaining that it ended up this way...
and that it became a subject of gossip.
I can't even win an award without feeling uncomfortable.
Darn it!
The winner should've been Yu Jae Seok instead.
(The winner should've been Yu Jae Seok instead.)
Seung Woo, you recently celebrated your 10th wedding anniversary...
- in a special way. - Right.
You took a photo in the same outfit you wore on your wedding day.
Did they still fit?
Yes, luckily.
Clothes I wore 20 years ago still fit me.
- Really? - I still have them.
- You still have a Jordache? - Yes.
Really?
- Jordache? - We're a Jordache generation.
- I own a pair. - Really?
A pair of striped...
- high-rise pants. - Those who couldn't afford them...
- bought Elasto pants instead. - Right.
- They were very stretchy. - Right.
- Everybody wore them. - Right.
They were expensive.
You guys look so excited.
(You guys look so excited.)
We're in the same generation.
While we talk about these things, you go and serve in the army.
(You go and serve in the army.)
Jung Tae, your son's nickname is "Yakkung".
- That's right. - Why is that?
He would react to the sound, "Yakkung".
- He must be grown up now. - He's five years old now.
- He's five? - He must be so cute now.
You scolded him for asking for books?
- I don't let him read books. - Why not?
- Because of his eyesight? - It might sound like I'm bragging,
but my son memorises everything he reads.
I got a call from his school saying that he speaks Russian.
So I asked my wife what was going on,
and learned that he was memorising what he watched on YouTube.
- So I made him stop watching it. - He is good with languages.
But then one day, I saw a video of him speaking Arabic.
- Arabic? - Yes.
My wife sent me a video of him speaking Arabic.
I couldn't understand a word,
but he has learnt to speak Arabic from a video.
- What a special child. - He is gifted.
- It is a special gift. - He is good with languages.
- That's right. - They tell me he is a prodigy.
- Did you get him tested? - Yes.
- You should develop his talent. - I agree.
It must be exciting to learn that your child is gifted.
- I know. - His child is gifted, too.
- Who? - The short one.
- Jung Eun Pyo? - Yes.
I can't believe you called him the short one.
Is that his personal descriptor?
Other people ask, "Who's the short one who sits next to Kim Gu Ra...
on Radio Star?" I'm talking about you.
This is a story from someone who saw Kim Seung Woo in person.
"I was at Kukkiwon when I saw a tall woman with a pale face."
"It was Kim Nam Ju."
"Next to her was Kim Seung Woo who had a very dark face."
"He looks better on TV than in real life."
(He almost spat out water.)
"I think it was for their daughter's Taekwondo degree promotion test."
- At Kukkiwon. - "He looks better on TV."
That's the message the onlooker is sending.
I'm glad I look better on TV.
Viewers, know that this is him looking better.
We are looking at his face in person.
Your daughter is learning Taekwondo. Do you want her to be an athlete?
No, I just let my daughter and son...
learn what they want.
They both like to exercise.
What kind of jobs do you want your daughter to have?
- At this moment... - His daughter is very smart.
Her test scores are one of the best in the nation.
- She is in the top one percent. - She studies hard.
She must be very smart.
- She is in the top one percent. - She's smart.
She must be very smart.
- She is a smart child. - You should let your child decide.
- That's right. - They must find their own path.
Gook Jin, what career do you want for your future child?
I need to have a child first.
Seung Woo seemed to be against the idea,
- but let's call Nam Ju. - Wait a minute.
Don't we need to think of things to say first?
- Let's just go with it. - You can just talk about anything.
That's not how we do things.
We can't just call her out of the blue.
Just call her and see what happens.
Hi, Honey.
- Hi, Honey. - Hi.
I always tell you that you look prettier without makeup.
- Right. - Can I video call you?
Don't do that.
- So you are not ready for that. - Don't be ridiculous.
I won't answer it. Don't do it.
Hello, I'm Yoon Jong Shin.
- Hello. - Hello.
Seung Woo told us that he has his last drinks with you,
even if he has to wake you up in the middle of the night.
Please tell other wives that it's an admirable thing.
Having lived like that for 10 years,
I think I was out of my mind.
(Her honesty makes him feel dizzy.)
- It's very tiring. - I see.
And he wakes me up for drinks only to give me a single shot.
- Really? - After that,
he closes the lid.
- By then, you are fully awake. - That's right. I get so mad.
- It's not a good thing. - I see.
Is there one thing you want to ask...
- of Seung Woo? - One thing?
- That's right. - He is a good husband.
But I'm not sure if he is a good father.
- He only spends time with me. - I see.
I raise my kids by myself.
No wonder he didn't know much about his children.
- It all makes sense now. - He doesn't know them very well.
I wish he would take more interest in their education.
- Seung Woo, you are just like me. - He doesn't know anything.
He doesn't like me sending our kids to learn different things,
but then he gets very happy when our kids win awards.
- You should visit Radio Star. - Okay.
If there's something interesting, please share it with us.
Okay. By the way, congratulations on receiving the Grand Prize.
(Good job, Nam Ju.)
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
Your way of speaking has changed since you received the award.
Come on.
- Happy New Year. - Thank you.
- Happy New Year. Thank you. - I wish your family happiness.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Seung Woo, I guess...
- all fathers are the same. - Is that so?
My wife tells me all the time to take interest in my children.
- I see. - This is what happens.
My wife was sleeping, so I left for work without waking her up.
Then she texted me when I was on my way.
"Do you even know that Ra Ik's recital is today?"
- I see. - It startled me so much.
- Every family is the same. - She doesn't tell me ahead of time.
She wants me to start caring on my own.
- I hope they will air this on TV. - They will.
- My life will be easier that way. - That's right.
My wife needs to know that there are people like me.
Fathers are just not good with paying attention to details.
But wives attack husbands with the smallest piece of information.
- That's right. - My wife posts it on Instagram.
"At the children's recital. Jong Shin is missing again."
All I can do is to click the heart on the post.
(He taps the heart.)
Tae Sung, I feel a sense of kinship...
after hearing that you have also suffered from panic disorder.
- Yes, I have. - I see.
Was it a recent occurrence?
No, it happened 4 or 5 years ago before I joined the army.
- Before you joined the army? - I was under a lot of pressure.
What were your symptoms?
I felt like dying. I couldn't breathe.
- You couldn't breathe? - That's a severe panic attack.
- Yes, it was severe. - By the way,
I heard that you overcame panic disorder in a unique way.
- Did you take medicines? - No, I threw them away.
- I was given medication, but... - You didn't want to depend on them.
I doubted that they will fix a matter of my mind.
It's understandable to take medicines to bring down a fever,
but this was a different matter.
Your way of tackling the disorder differs from mine.
- He took his medicines every day. - That's right.
I followed doctor's orders and stopped drinking for 18 months.
I decided to gradually stop taking medicines.
- I took pills for emergency, - I see.
- but not three times a day. - How did you overcome the disorder?
Smart phone games.
(Shocked)
- It was a very popular game. - Oh, that?
I should report it to the journal of psychiatry.
Who are you do report it to the journal of psychiatry?
Whenever I felt like I was about to have a panic attack,
I kept my eyes on the screen.
- On the game? - I limited my field of vision.
Then I focused on the game. I would get better...
after about five minutes.
- What were your scores on the game? - It must have been very high.
I don't remember exactly, but I was very good at it.
Were you the first on the rankings among your friends?
I just constantly played the game.
It was to overcome the disorder.
- So did you liked the game? - Yes.
There are many similar games.
(Gu Ra instructs him to stop.)
There are many similar games.
Tae Sung, I'm very impressed. I applaud your effort.
- It's a very unique approach. - Applaud, then.
- Don't just say it. - I applaud your effort.
He is applauding.
(Here are hands applauding.)
Seung Woo had also suffered from panic disorder.
Is this some kind of a marketing ploy?
In the waiting room, he said, "Everyone has a panic disorder."
- He thinks the disorder is his own. - That's not true.
- It was many years ago. - Apparently,
it happened right after the most glorious work of yours.
- Really? - How do you know that?
I know things.
- Was it "Break Out"? - Let's not talk about the movie.
It just happened to be that way.
- We looked at your filmography. - Listen.
We looked and thought, "What is his most glorious work?"
There isn't a work that stands out.
I wouldn't call anything "Glorious".
We couldn't guess which work you meant by that.
It's "Roaring Currents" for Choi Min Sik.
Surely, that's glorious.
Are his appearances in variety shows included in his filmography?
- I have no clue. - He shined in "Win Win".
- But it's not a movie. - No, it's not.
- We should have checked. - When was it?
- Which one is it? - Tell us.
- Which movie is it? - Wait a minute.
I'll tell you. It's "Win Win".
- What is it? - Which one is your glorious work?
It must not be included in here.
I almost had a panic attack trying to find it.
Don't say that.
I vaguely remember an amazing movie you were in.
- What was it? - I know it's not glorious.
There is an incident that will annoy Seung Woo. It happened...
while Man Seok was working with Hwang Jung Min for a musical.
- What is it? - I'm close with Hwang Jung Min.
And 2015 was Hwang Jung Min's year.
He appeared in "Ode to My Father", "Veteran" and "The Himalayas"...
which attracted more than 30,000,000 audience in total.
That's impressive.
So I realised that I must go with him.
- Go where? - I must go anywhere with Jung Min.
Seung Woo is nice, but it's better to stay close to Jung Min.
- So, you wanted to stay close. - That's right.
Can I have Jung Min's number?
I'll tell you later.
(I'll work harder.)
I feel bad for Seung Woo, but I agreed to a lower pay...
to appear in a musical with Jung Min.
- It wasn't a major production. - That's right.
If I hadn't agreed to a lower pay,
the musical wouldn't have been made.
- You were double cast. - That's right.
Jung Min may be famous, but you are the king of musicals.
- Man Seok is amazing. - How are the ticket sales?
- Is yours getting sold less? - I'm curious.
I thought there wouldn't be a difference in ticket sales.
But people are booking more tickets to see Jung Min's appearance.
- I see. - His fame does matter.
To be precise, there is a difference of 20 or 30 tickets.
- Per play? - Is that true?
- That's not much of a difference. - How do you know that?
I looked at the websites where tickets are sold.
Are you not thinking about turning the table?
- He only needs 20 or 30 tickets. - I know.
I was wondering if I should spend my money to buy tickets.
- It's your pride. - You need to defend your title.
Never have I thought that people would hoard tickets to a musical.
Since there isn't much of a difference,
- can't his agency buy more tickets? - It's a matter of his pride.
- Buy more tickets for him. - I asked him which days he plays.
The entire agency will go to the musical to see him.
How many employees are there?
About seven.
(There are seven employees.)
Right, that will make a huge difference.
(That won't turn the tide.)
Even though Hwang Jung Min has higher ticket sales,
he made a mistake on the first day of the musical.
- Oh, are we trying to slander him? - Yes.
- Taint his reputation. - Shall we do that?
- Let's begin. - Shall we taint his reputation?
(Shall we taint his reputation?)
I watched his first play,
and he made a mistake at the start of the first song.
- He had a lot of lines. - That's an unacceptable mistake.
- I know. - That's just unthinkable.
The audience should have gotten a refund.
- He must have been very surprised. - I know.
The song was supposed to go like this.
Amidst the dazzling light onstage
Unfolds a romantic story
- Those are the lyrics. - It's easy.
Amidst the dazzling light
Then, he forgot the rest.
Amidst the dazzling light
I think I hear a sweet melody
That's what he did.
- He made up the rest. - He is quick-witted.
He easily recovered from that,
- but a bigger problem came later. - Did he make another mistake?
- Jung Min has a lot of lines. - I see.
The actress next to him said, "Something smells".
It was Jung Min's turn to say the line.
- He stayed quiet. - My goodness.
The actress repeated, "Something smells".
Again, he stayed quiet.
"Don't you think something smells?"
(Someone please help me.)
There were 12 actors onstage,
and they sniffed for 15 seconds.
(They sniffed for 15 seconds.)
Hearing your stories, I conclude that Jung Min's act is problematic.
(It's not that serious.)
- You don't make such mistakes. - Man Seok came prepared.
I have made a lot of mistakes in the past,
- but none so far in this musical. - So you think you are better.
To be honest, he is much better at acting.
He has a lot of experiences, so I can't even be compared to him.
He did appear in "Veteran".
(He did appear in "Veteran".)
(Was that a pun?)
Man Seok, I heard you were scolded for making a mistake onstage.
The most famous one is when you fell on your bottom.
I was singing "Those Magic Changes" in "Grease".
I was supposed to turn around on the way out...
and sing in a cool way. But I slipped on stairs.
I fell on my bottom, but I still had to sing.
I was supposed to sing like this, but since I was falling down...
There were eight staircases.
(An automatic vibration)
Everyone stood up.
(Wow)
I compared the mistakes...
made by Jung Min and you.
My goodness, Jung Min has a lot of problems.
(Hwang Jung Min, please visit Radio Star and tell us your story.)
Jung Tae, your oldest brother who majored in Korean wrestling...
and your other brother who used to be a Taekwondo player...
It's a family of athletes.
I heard you almost got sued by a thief who broke into the house.
When I lived with my brothers,
I never locked the front door. Who would visit us anyway?
But I guess that thief was out of luck.
That person decided to steal from our house.
When my mother screamed,
the three of us...
- instantly got up. - I see.
We saw someone run out of the house.
He ran to the rooftop.
Among the three brothers, who got to the rooftop first?
- My oldest brother did. - Right.
We should have called the police,
but we ended up beating up the thief.
(We ended up beating up the thief.)
- It was a mob violence. - The three brothers?
It was a mob violence.
(It was a mob violence.)
The police was taken aback.
- They told us we can't do that. - What an unfortunate thief.
The thief threatened to sue us.
It's a problem surrounding burglary.
Some say violence is necessary to ensure one's safety,
while some say it should never be okay to beat someone up.
- But if my mother had been alone... - I know.
The thief entered her bedroom. It was a dangerous situation.
Moreover, it was a matter of pride for my brothers and I.
- He penetrated our security system. - There was no security system.
Three brothers in the house is the security system.
(They completely understand.)
Our snores are the alarm.
It hurt our pride.
The thief didn't manage to steal anything, did he?
He didn't take anything.
I see.
He stepped on my new shoes.
That upset me.
They were new shoes from Ellesse.
- Ellesse? - That hasn't been around for years.
Exactly.
Seung Woo, I heard that Jung Tae's ad-libs...
made things difficult for you during the shoot.
Sometimes, the shooting gets stopped because you can't stop laughing.
That happened too many times because of him.
Even an ad-lib should...
- follow some common rules. - That's true.
- But his are completely random. - Give us an example.
Let's say the scene involves a cop lecturing kids.
"Look, I'm a cop."
"Haven't you heard of Cro Cop?"
What is that?
- It's funny. What's wrong with it? - It's funny, right?
- Cro Cop! - But you don't see it coming.
- How do you... - That makes him good.
Apparently, Jung Tae thinks Park Chul Min is...
- the master of ad-libs. - He is quite good.
- He is amazing. - That's right.
He tends to go on and on with his ad-libs.
- They tend to get long. - Right.
I'm not making that sound.
My mouth isn't moving.
My eyes are burning.
(Hissing)
(Snorting)
(You back matters in all exercises.)
(His ad-lib goes on and on.)
Let's stretch. Ouch!
- The two of you would make a sight. - Right.
We don't let those who suffer from urinary incontinence near us.
(His ad-lib is never-ending.)
- Im Hyun Sik is like that, too. - He is an actor I admire the most.
- He is the godfather of ad-lib. - That's right.
- He is the ancestor of ad-lib. - Ancestor?
I heard that he was elected to the Hall of Fame.
Who else was elected besides Im Hyun Sik?
Besides Im Hyun Sik,
- there is Choi Ju Bong. - Is it Ju Hyun?
- I see. - I see.
- What about Yoon Mun Sik? - He is in it too.
(Ad-lib Hall of Fame)
Are there any handsome actors who is good with ad-lib?
They don't see the need to be good at it.
(They don't see the need to ad-lib.)
- Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae... - Impression is important for them.
So they fear creating a comical impression...
- for themselves. - Is that right?
Actors like me are good with ad-lib because we aren't handsome.
Handsome actors don't see the need.
So actors like Jung Woo Sung don't need to come up with ad-lib?
If I were him, I wouldn't do it.
(If I were him, I wouldn't do it.)
Are any actresses good with ad-libs?
- Is anyone in the Hall of Fame? - No.
- Actresses don't do it. - Among the ones I've seen...
- What about Kim Su Mi? - She is good with ad-lib.
I haven't been to the female section of Hall of Fame.
(I haven't been to the female section of Hall of Fame.)
(He is a master of ad-lib even on a variety show.)
Jung Tae, I heard you want to be in a realistic romance movie.
I want to be in a movie about love between ordinary people.
It may be someone next door or an average working person.
Such protagonists...
will make a universal love story.
I want to star in a romance movie like that.
Do you have an actress in mind?
Kong Hyo Jin is a talented actress,
and she isn't exceptionally beautiful.
- Isn't that over-reaching? - It's a thoughtful consideration.
(It's a thoughtful consideration.)
Is Kong Hyo Jin being considerate? Who's being considerate?
It's her agency being considerate.
(It's a consideration on her agency's part.)
- Her agency. - Her agency.
Everyone should be considerate at least once a year.
(Everyone should be considerate at least once a year.)
(The master of ad-libs never rests.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
What we have prepared for today's episode...
is in courtesy of the four men who barged in on us.
- "Songs for good fortune in 2016!" - "Songs for good fortune in 2016!"
("Songs for good fortune in 2016")
Let's hear the song Kim Seung Woo has chosen.
("I Am Not Alone" by Seo Young Eun)
- I haven't heard this in a while. - It a song full of hopes.
- "I Am Not Alone" by Seo Young Eun. - This song gives me energy.
- When I'm tired and down, - Right.
- just listening to the prelude... - Do you shake your hips?
That dance isn't appropriate for this song.
You can shake your hips to any rhythm.
(You can shake your hips to any rhythm.)
I heard that Seung Woo is satisfied with how the action scenes...
turned out in his recent movie.
He learned martial arts for this movie.
- Yes, it's a part of the job. - I say we should see it.
- I agree. - Which martial art did you learn?
- Which martial art was it? - I can't just...
- Do it for your movie. - Which martial art was it?
- I can't do it by myself. - Do it with Kyu Hyun.
Which martial art did you learn?
- I learned krav maga. - Krav maga.
- The soldiers learn it. - I see.
That's what I learned. There are a lot of hand techniques.
- Okay. - If someone throws a punch,
people usually block like this.
But in krav maga, you take the arm and twist it.
I have seen it.
Give us a demonstration with Gook Jin.
- I might hurt him. - Come on.
Will you attack me for real?
- Show us a little bit. - Give us a demonstration.
- Do guests usually do such things? - Of course.
- So what should I do? - If someone throws a punch,
people usually grab the arm or block it and counterattack.
But in krav maga, you do this.
Throw a punch.
You take the arm and twist it.
(It's an actual cracking sound.)
- What? - I heard it crack.
- I heard it crack. - Gook Jin!
- You heard it, right? - I heard it.
I will sue you.
- Why did you hurt Gook Jin? - I told you I didn't want to do it.
He doesn't have anyone to look after him.
- Gook Jin's bones won't heal. - They will.
- They healed already. - That's what you do.
You twist the arm and hit your opponent like this.
(His pupils are shaking.)
You can't treat me like this.
- You can't treat me like this. - My goodness.
(Laughing)
I've seen videos of Russian soldiers practising krav maga.
- That's right. - The moves are small, but deadly.
It's very speedy.
Does that mean your upcoming movie has to do something with Putin?
You won the Grand Prize. Is that the best you can do?
I'm trying to get something done.
That was just too much.
You should attract the Russian audience in Korea.
(You should attract the Russian audience in Korea.)
Jung Tae said that,
working with Seung Woo was tiring since he has a good memory.
What is that about?
- He is the smartest actor I know. - Really? In what ways?
- Make it good. - For example,
he memorises the entire script.
He knows the script word by word.
Oh, the script.
He even points out what the editor misses.
(He's happy to hear it.)
- I was really surprised. - I see.
He doesn't sleep and he knows the entire script.
He's very sensitive too. He didn't sleep at all last night.
- He doesn't sleep. - For what?
- I haven't been in a TV show... - He doesn't sleep.
in a long time, and the excitement kept me up all night.
- There's a term "Short sleeper". - Right.
He's a short sleeper.
- Four hours is a long sleep for me. - He sleeps 1 to 2 hours.
For example, I sometimes sleep at around 9 or 10pm.
Then, do you get up at 2am?
Yes, and my day begins.
The most famous short sleeper is...
- the Ex-President Lee Myung Bak. - Okay.
President Lee Myung Bak.
- How do you know that? - I just heard it.
- Have you slept with him? - What? No.
I haven't, of course.
There were many news articles.
- "Have you slept with him?" - During his presidency,
- his secretary officials... - Have you slept with him?
reported to the Blue House early in the morning.
- I love sleeping for a long time. - Of course.
You know, Kim Gun Mo...
sleeps 12 hours a day.
- He's the perfect example. - You know...
So it's a lie that you grow tall when you sleep a lot.
- He sleeps a lot, but he's short. - He said,
- he doesn't get hangover... - He sleeps a lot.
no matter how much he drinks because he sleeps for 12 hours.
You won't be having a hangover after sleeping for 12 hours.
- Have you slept with him? - No.
(He's the true master of ad-lib.)
Oh Man Seok made a special appearance in your movie.
- I acted as a bus driver. - I heard you made...
Seung Woo unable to walk for a week.
- That's not it. I almost died. - Actually,
- he could've died. - I really could've died.
- It was a big accident. - That's right.
I was asked to make a cameo appearance.
My role was a bus driver. It was the scene where...
Seung Woo runs to the front of the bus and...
stops the bus.
The moment I stepped on the break,
he shouted "Wait!"
As the bus stopped, he bumped his knees to the fare box.
I think I flew about 2 to 3 metres.
It took him one second to go from the back door to the front door.
Oh, you mean inside the bus.
- Oh, inside the bus. - Yes, inside the bus.
That iron box got crushed.
- Were your legs all right? - It was hard to walk for a week.
But that injury ended up making the rest of the shoot hard.
Jung Tae got worried,
and he got me red ginseng juice.
He said it's what keeps him going.
When I drank it every day, I did feel better.
By the time we finished the shooting, it was Chuseok.
I thought, since Jung Tae likes red ginseng juice,
I would buy some extra and give him some too.
So I called him and said, "I'll send you some ginseng juice."
And he said I shouldn't do that.
But I kept insisting that I send him the juice.
In the end, he said I should send it just once. I said okay...
and sent him a box. After the holiday, we met...
and I asked him if he's enjoying the juice I sent him.
And he told me red ginseng doesn't do well for his body.
You gave him all the juice because it didn't do you any good.
- He said... - He didn't know what to do with it.
Why would he give it to you if he likes red ginseng?
That's not it. After I gave him the juice, I got a check-up.
And the doctor said red ginseng doesn't suit my body.
But he thought it was good for him and drank it for years.
Now, Seung Woo will sing "I Am Not Alone".
(Seung Woo will sing on a variety TV show for the first time.)
- Use your hips. - My hips?
But would it suit the song?
(He actually does it.)
(They are satisfied.)
(He dances hard.)
(Sometimes I am greedy)
(And I had to cry)
(Happiness looks big)
(When it's far away)
(His hands are held tightly together.)
(He holds his hands together...)
(and sings at his highest tone.)
(Even when it's rainy or windy)
(The sun shines again)
(He's like...)
(a 48-year-old child.)
(So that the sadness approaching me)
(Can run away again)
(It's the song that gave him strength whenever he felt weak.)
He sings so purely.
He sings so plainly.
It's as if he's singing for the first time.
It's Tae Sung's turn now.
(He chose "Uphill Road", which is produced by Yoon Jong Shin.)
This song is a very tough song to sing.
It's my favourite.
It's called "Uphill Road".
It's Jong Shin's song.
I produced it, and Jung In sang it.
- Is that right? - So it's a woman's song.
Why did you choose this song?
The lyrics are amazing.
I can relate to the lyrics.
- Is that right? - You've been through tough times.
I see.
There's something amazing here.
It says here that he's the first...
Korean celebrity who met a member of the Imperial family of Japan.
Even Bae Yong Joon didn't get to meet one.
I heard I set the record. I was the first Korean person...
besides Korean presidents who met the Emperor of Japan.
How did you come to meet him?
In 2001, Lee Soo Hyun...
died in a Tokyo subway station while trying to save a Japanese man.
- I remember him. - Yes, that incident was...
- made into a movie. - There was a movie, right.
I played Lee Soo Hyun's part in that movie.
That movie became a social phenomenon that time.
He attended the premier with his wife.
I didn't even get to meet the head of borough office.
(I didn't even get to meet the head of borough office.)
Do you have a nickname there?
They call Bae Yong Joon "Yon Sama".
They just call me by my name. They call me Tae Chan.
- Tae Chan. - Tae Chan.
Which Japanese food do you like? Mochi?
- I like soba noodles. - Soba noodles. I see.
Your expressions are so demeaning.
- You like soba noodles? - Oden?
- I like tempura. - You like tempura?
Japanese people take gift-giving very seriously, don't they?
One time, during a fan meeting, I made a mistake.
They asked me what my hobby was and what I do when I'm home.
I told them that I like washing my car and cleaning my house.
And they sent me microfibre mops from Osaka.
They sent so much of it that the customs office stopped it.
The customs people must've thought he was importing it.
(Is he the mop seller?)
Tae Sung, it says here that you once learned to speak...
with Busan dialect from Simon Dominic,
and the viewers scolded you really harshly.
- Simon is originally from Busan. - He's from Busan.
- Busan dialect was the trend. - Right.
It makes you look tougher.
I had to play a role that speaks with Busan Dialect,
so I thought I should learn it from Simon.
But it turned out what he taught me was not appropriate for TV.
It wasn't appropriate for a TV drama.
Later, Jung Min corrected it for me.
(I'm there for you, Tae Sung.)
- When was that? - It was for "Playful Kiss".
Can you just accept me please?
I have to carry on my family line.
Can you show us how you spoke with Busan dialect?
Simon pronounces father like this.
- Do some more. - Do what you learned from him.
Father, this is really good.
Isn't that how Robert Holley sounds?
(I am not Robert.)
Tae Sung will sing "Uphill Road".
- Let's listen to it. - I will do my best.
(From now on I won't smile)
- He's good. - He's good.
(Look at this steep road)
(Yes, let's remember the smile)
(Before climbing up)
Your song is good when it's sung by someone else.
(Jong Shin agrees.)
(One step)
(I only took one step)
(His deep and appealing voice melts our heart.)
(He's got a soft voice and warm emotions.)
- He's good. - He's good.
(They love the different side of Tae Sung.)
(Remember)
(Even if we miss each other's hands)
(Don't get flustered or get lost)
(When we reach the top)
(The place won't be so wide)
(His past days were tough like climbing up an uphill road,)
(and this song cheered him up.)
Thank you.
(Bravo!)
- He's very good. - Bravo.
You're amazing.
- He sings well. - He sings really well.
- What is it that you lack? - By the way,
what's written on the album cover is very wrong.
When it says, "Yoon Jong Shin with Jung In",
people usually think Jung In would sing less than Jong Shin.
But Jung In sang it from the start to the end.
- So switch the names. - That's basically the project.
- Switch the name. - No, no.
- Why would you do that? - It's all mine.
(He's satisfied.)
- He's good. - He's got a beautiful voice.
By the way, all the actors from your agency sing well.
That's right.
- Everyone except Seung Woo. - I...
We just need to get rid of the part he sang.
I wouldn't mind it even if you don't include my part.
We will just include your dance.
(He can't sing, but he can dance.)
It's Man Seok's turn now.
("Life is Unknown" by Lee Moon Se)
He chose Lee Moon Se's "Life is Unknown".
It's a nice song.
Why did you choose this song?
Over time, I realised that life is just like the title of this song.
You don't know what will happen in your life.
So I realised I should just...
- cherish every moment of it. - You see...
When we began this show in 2007,
we never thought Kim Gu Ra was going to receive the Grand Prize.
We never expected it.
- That's right. - And you left for a while.
He went through so much, and he got the Grand Prize this year.
Watching him getting the prize,
I remembered all the moments...
- he's been through. - But what have you done for me?
- Yes, so... - You haven't done anything.
I realised that I brought you all the way here.
(I steered him all the way here.)
Man Seok, it's widely known that you went to school with Lee Sun Kyun.
I heard that you supported him when you were still in school.
I started earning money when I was in high school.
Every weekend, I worked at Garak Wholesale Market...
by loading the boxes all day.
I earned 50 to 60 dollars a day.
- Okay. - With that money...
I loved watching art performances since I was in high school,
so I saved up that money to buy tickets to the performances.
I started earning money at such a young age that,
I always bought drinks for my friends back then.
Sun Kyun and I did part-time job together.
- We... Can I say this? - What is it?
We were the Condom Guys of Myeongdong.
What does that mean?
I was working at a cafe in Myeongdong.
The owner was a unique person, and he put a condom in...
a matchbox and used it to promote the cafe.
That's not bad.
- That's good actually. - Yoon Hui Seok, Lee Sun Kyun...
- and I used to distribute them. - Right.
At first, the people who received it went, "What is this?"
But they soon came back to us to get some more.
Did you...
- give out all of them? - We gave out all of them.
At the time, I didn't know how to use them properly.
(He's a cool guy!)
Whenever the three of us went for drinks,
I always paid. I always felt like I had to pay.
When I didn't have money, I gave my identification cards.
- As a collateral? - I gave it...
to the owner of a billiard cafe, borrowed money and paid for drinks.
What did Sun Kyun do the whole time?
He just waited for me to borrow money from somewhere.
(I will wait for you.)
Did something happen at your child's first birthday party?
Oh.
I had a child...
and I was the first one to have a child's first birthday party.
At that time, I didn't have much money,
so I only invited my close friends.
I invited Sun Kyun, Hui Seok and some other friends.
The day before the party, they drank a lot,
and they didn't show up at the party.
- And... - Wow.
That's bad.
The people my wife invited came.
There were movie directors and other people she knew.
Most of my friends didn't show up,
when I only invited few to begin with.
People must've thought you didn't manage your relationships well.
That's right. I felt disappointed too.
Did that become a determining factor for your divorce?
Because his guests didn't show up at their child's birthday party?
- That's where it went wrong. - That's where it all began.
(Is that where it all began?)
Later, when Sun Kyun married Hye Jin,
they had a baby and held the first birthday party for their baby.
But he didn't invite me.
- He was sorry. - He was sorry.
So I called him.
I told him I wasn't that petty,
and I went to the party. I didn't feel so good.
I felt like I was making him feel guilty for the past incident.
They were going for an after-party with their friends.
So I paid for their drinks.
You treated them.
- He's a generous man. - It became a habit.
(He's the generous man who always pays!)
Man Seok, you led Cho Jung Seok to appear on variety shows.
Jung Seok is very charming.
- Is that right? - At the time, Jung Seok...
played a melodeon with his nose.
Did you tell him to do that?
No, I didn't tell him to do it. He decided to do that.
It was in 2008.
He used to only perform on musicals.
So I took him to a variety TV show.
He didn't have anything special to show to the viewers,
so he volunteered to play the melodeon with his nose.
(It looks like it's part of his body.)
I heard you didn't hear back from him after that was aired.
That's not true. He's just very busy these days.
So he doesn't get to call me often. He said he's sorry.
At the time, he came to see me...
- whenever I called. - He was always available.
Even when I called him on his way home,
he would come out to meet me.
Now I have to run to him.
(I will go to you, Jung Seok.)
You're such a generous man.
How does that make me a generous man?
It looks like you have a very nice personality.
No, no.
He deserves to get something like a Friendship Award.
All right. Man Seok will sing "Life Is Unknown".
- I am excited to hear it. - It's my first time to sing it.
("Life Is Unknown" by Oh Man Seok)
(He's very immersed.)
(He suddenly showcases his Chinese improvisation talent.)
(He sings the lyrics in a very emotional way.)
(Seung Woo is touched by the lyrics.)
(Can't I turn back the time)
(Can't I delay it for a while)
(We give up.)
(He successfully makes them laugh.)
(I miss it)
(He sings normally as if nothing happened.)
(He focuses. He's like Jang Dong Gun in the musical industry.)
(Will that day really come)
(Can't I turn back the time)
(Can't I delay it for a while, I miss)
(My glorious past)
(Bravo!)
He's good.
- He's good. - He's good.
He's very talented.
That's why Young Ja is in love with him.
All right. This was "Why Are You Here special".
Tell us how it was. Seung Woo?
I came out with my fellow actors.
I'm afraid we had all the fun and you didn't.
- No, no. - It was fun.
It's the New Year now. I hope you enjoyed it.
Stay healthy and Happy New Year.
They walked in here...
and delighted all of us. Thank you.
The door to Radio Star is always open,
so please walk in anytime again.
- Okay. - We will say good bye here.
See you next week, everybody.
- Please! - Please!
(See you again next week!)
("You Call It Romance" by K.Will)
