Happy to be together on "Happy Together"!
I'm glad to see you all.
- Hello. / - Hello, I'm glad to see you.
Today's special episode on "Happy Together" is
about Myungsoo, in a way.
- You can't proceed without me. / - Sure.
- Is it titled "Irreplaceable"? / - No, it's not.
- No, you're replaceable. / - You should be replaced.
- You stole my words. / - I'm sorry.
- Myungsoo was hit / - Come on.
with an uppercut as soon as we began.
You'll see why I said that today's about Myungsoo.
Today's guests are men who are under the thumb.
- I see. / - Are they criminals?
Are they being chased?
No, they are under their families' thumbs
and are referred to as "The working dads".
It's a Family Man Special with Kim Seungwoo,
Jang Hangjun, Choi Hyunseok and Kim Iljoong!
- All right. / - Hello.
- Welcome! / - Hello.
(Four men who are husbands or fathers)
It's me.
(The charismatic man on the screen)
In one, two, three.
(He's been married for 11 years)
(It's Kim Seungwoo)
- I'm Jang Hangjun, a director. / - I see.
(He's a man of variety shows)
(And a film director)
(Jang Hangjun has been married for 18 years)
(He's the king of pretense)
(And a man of extreme cuteness)
(He's been married for 17 years)
(It's Choi Hyunseok)
- Come here. / - Well...
You're hitting my face quite a lot.
(He's now everyone's favorite man)
(Kim Iljoong has been married for eight years)
No, it never happened. He seems to know quite well.
(His first variety show in two years became a hearing)
He would even get rid of his masculinity.
It's true that my wife blow-dried my hair.
(When will he stop showing off?)
"Mom! I'm hungry!"
"You're back!"
I didn't say he's a pervert.
My wife kept making money.
They're going to die when I'm in charge again.
Our viewers are probably wondering
about the number of stories I have.
(Remember this man, he's here to get everyone)
He's a great on a variety show.
- Hello. / - You're here.
- Hello, Hangjun. / - Hello.
- It's nice to see you. / - It's Iljoong.
It's Iljoong.
- All right. / - It's nice to see you.
- Please be seated. / - He's finally at KBS.
- My goodness. / - I can't believe he's at KBS.
I can't believe I'm seeing Iljoong here at KBS.
What is going on?
Also, he used to do a show during our air time.
- I'm not a spy. / - I know.
I'm not here as a spy.
We were enemies not long ago.
- He wasn't an enemy. / - I mean...
That's not what they think over there.
I see.
I never knew about this until just now.
- Was he on your rival show? / - He was.
- He's still on it. / - So he has defected, then.
So he has defected, then.
- Defected? / - Come on.
- What are you talking about? / - He is exaggerating.
- Come on. / - "This is a paradise"
"and it's desolate where I'm from."
- Goodness. / - It's a long time ago.
First, we will have each family man introduce himself.
- Seungwoo. / - Yes.
- We said you're a family man... / - Why does it feel
like I'm filming an episode of "Win Win"?
(Oh...)
He looks better in person than on screen.
- Yes, he does look better. / - Yes.
I'll probably look bloated on screen, though.
Everyone says...
(We can see how much older he's become)
- Don't use the script as it is. / - Give me that.
Come on.
I need to keep my spirits up,
- or this will become "Win Win". / - That's right.
- We need to get a grip. / - Don't give in.
- I won't. / - You mustn't give in to Seungwoo.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm Kim Seungwoo. I've been married for 11 years now
and I serve as a child rearing assistant.
- It's been a while. / - All right.
(I'm Kim Seungwoo, it's been a while)
How long has it been?
Were you busy raising your child?
Raising my child?
Why haven't you been on variety shows?
I was busy raising them since I wanted to be there
for them as they were growing up.
- But it wasn't easy. / - What wasn't?
Being there for them.
Work is easier. I'd rather work.
- You prefer working, then. / - I do.
It seems like your wife works hard.
I've seen her on number of commercials.
Have you decided to stay at home?
Stay at home? What are you saying?
- Why do you say that? / - I haven't seen you on TV.
I heard you met Myungsoo at school.
- Yes, I did see him. / - Is that so?
My child goes to the same school
as Myungsoo's child.
- I see. / - It was Sports Day.
- On Sports Day, / - Yes.
there were some games in which parents participated.
So I wore casual clothes,
but he was wearing a formal coat.
- That's nonsense. / - He's snobbish.
- You're too much. / - He was also wearing
a pair of sunglasses and when I said hello,
he replied, "Hello."
Is this how variety shows are?
- Not really. / - He really did.
People could see through mine,
but you were wearing pitch black ones.
- Did he wear sunglasses, too? / - They were dark ones.
I thought many would recognize me.
You were there as a parent.
I had no choice. Let's move on.
Our next guest is Hangjun. Please introduce yourself.
(Why can't we stop laughing?)
- Hello. / - Who are you?
People may not know him.
He's a film director.
You're here to get work, aren't you?
Even if you were a captain just once in your life,
a captain will always be a captain.
- What are you talking about? / - That's who I am.
I may not have continuously made movies,
- but I have before. / - He'll always be a director.
I didn't just make one movie. I made several.
- I'm making another one soon. / - Tell us who you are.
Hello. Where do I lock?
- "Lock"? / - The camera man
- is waving at you. / - Hello. I'm Jang Hangjun.
I've been married for 18 years
and I'm suddenly here now.
(I'm Jang Hangjun, a film director)
- He's a director. / - Some think he's an entertainer.
We also have Hyunseok with us today.
- Look at him. / - Look at his shoulders.
Are they shoulder extensions?
What did you say?
That was lame.
"Happy Together" is usually great
at picking the right guests.
- Okay. / - But, you made a big mistake today.
Are you not a family man?
I am the one in charge.
- Are you? / - Yes.
We'll be the judges on that.
We'll decide whether you are or not.
Anyway, I have been married
- for 17 years. / - I see.
Hello, I've been married for 17 years.
I'm an eternal show-off, Choi Hyunseok.
- That's it. / - Pronounce more clearly.
Let's move on to Iljoong.
Hello.
(Feeling uneasy)
You're making this awkward.
I feel strange, too.
Some might think they're watching "Jagiya".
- I've been married eight years... / - Today
- your hairstyle looks unrealistic. / - I'm...
- I styled it though. / - I know.
It's Lee Byunghun's style.
You look like a man from a styling gel commercial.
He's Byunghun from the forehead up.
Please continue.
People on the show "Jagiya" let you talk. We don't.
We'll interrupt whenever we can.
You aren't at all like Wonhee.
- You better be careful. / - KBS is a scary place.
I've been married for eight years
and until recently worked at SBS.
My name is Kim Iljoong and it's great to see you.
(I'm Kim Iljoong, I love KBS)
All right.
I have so many questions for our guests today.
- We used to say this. / - He sounds like a eunuch.
If this man was born centuries ago,
he'd have committed treason.
(Do I have the face of a traitor?)
- Look at his eyes. / - Someone once said this to me.
- Even if I were born a noble, / - Okay.
I would have been
exiled for committing adultery.
- What? / - Don't go that far.
- Adultery... / - Don't say that.
That law was abolished recently.
- Anyway, you'd have been disloyal. / - Yes.
- That's what people say. / - Yes.
You're also an excellent speaker.
- I am, yes. / - Well...
What have you been doing?
- What have I been doing? / - Yes.
I've been preparing for a new project.
(Finally)
- At last. / - At last.
- Will you be directing a film? / - In the near future.
- How long has it been? / - How many years?
Gosh...
(Teary)
See, this is what happens.
- Because my wife works, / - Okay.
I just become lazy.
- Eunhee is a writer. / - You don't have to work.
- I knew it. / - What does your wife do?
She's a famous scriptwriter.
I found out today.
- "Sign", "Phantom". / - She's the best.
("Sign", "Phantom", "Three Days" and more)
(A master of Korean dramas)
(Scriptwriter Kim Eunhee)
"Sign" and "Phantom"...
- She must earn a lot. / - That's right.
She earns more than I expected.
To be honest...
- A lot more? / - Good for you.
He's married to Kim Eunhee.
It's great.
It is really.
- "It's great." / - Hangjun.
I never thought she would be the one supporting me.
(My wife supports me. Does yours?)
My wife is so good to me.
We have done a few other variety shows together,
but you've never looked so happy.
I make films during the day
and go on variety shows at night.
I'm Jang Hangjun and I make films.
You've never looked so happy.
- He looks like he won the lottery. / - Yes.
You just can't hide your glee.
Your wife makes hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Do you sometimes walk on eggshells around her?
Tell us.
Walking on eggshells... Well...
- You're clueless. / - I really did
feel intimidated before.
- We all had that phase. / - Yes.
- That did happen to me. / - Intimidated?
There was a brief period when your wife didn't work.
- Yes. / - How did she start writing scripts?
Back then I wrote my film scripts by hand.
That's how I wrote it,
but before handing it over,
- it has to be typed. / - Okay.
So, I asked my wife to type it out for me
and she said that this job was really fun.
She asked, "Do you think I could do this?"
Her major is something else.
- I see. / - She had no experience,
so I offered to help her.
That's how she got into writing scripts.
- I see. / - She had a hidden talent
and it was discovered as she typed.
The reason I'm saying this is
to tell you that I deserve to be looked after.
Is that your point?
You helped her get started.
So you're saying, you helped her discover
- her talent. / - her hidden talent.
It was not just once.
The way I act towards her
hasn't changed at all since then.
I just
feel more grateful towards her each day.
(My gratitude knows no bounds)
I treat her well.
- I'm so happy we invited him. / - I agree.
- You have gained weight since then. / - Yes.
Back then I felt like something was chasing me.
- You look more relaxed. / - That's right.
Why did you say you're here because of Seungwoo,
when you really didn't want to come?
Well...
There was a broadcasting station called OBS.
I knew some people there and they called me up
and they asked me to appear on a show.
But I hadn't been on TV for a long time,
so I said that I promised the producer
I'll not appear on TV until I finish the film.
I explained the situation
and apologized.
- You refused politely. / - Then I hung up.
Shortly after, I got a call from your team.
- I refused. / - That's right.
Then Seungwoo suddenly called.
As soon as I picked up...
Usually people say, "Hello".
But he started swearing calling me, "You..."
(Puppy)
That's what you said.
You really did.
My goodness.
That was harsh.
That was cruel.
You must swear a lot.
You act like a gentleman on the show "Win Win".
- I'm disappointed. / - He's really manly.
He's perfect for variety shows.
- No. / - That never happened.
It did happen.
- He's... / - You're good.
You came on because he cursed at you.
So if you want Hangjun to come on your show,
curse at him first.
Be polite and he'll just say no.
Hangjun requires cursing...
Cursing gets him on TV.
The person at OBS should also try cursing.
I just noticed that Iljoong looks very anxious.
(Worried)
- I'm not anxious. / - He might think
we're taking our revenge on him.
- So... / - Hang on.
- Iljoong. / - Yes?
Your makeup is like that of a bride on her wedding day.
- I put a lot of effort. / - He looks like a wax doll.
A wax doll?
- Hyunseok's very relaxed. / - Yes.
This is his second time on the show.
Yes.
- He's famous. / - He's the chef that shows off.
I still know people who think that
he's a single,
although he's been married for 17 years.
A lot of people think you're single.
Well, compared to my age...
I'm sorry.
- Go on. / - I'm immature.
So people do say I looked young
and a lot of people did think that
- I'm still single. / - That's right.
Some elderly customers who come to my restaurants
still think I'm single and
offer to set me up with someone.
Did you ever accept their offer?
No, I didn't.
Also...
It'd be strange if he did.
Even if he did, would he admit to it?
Some people even say that I go around
- saying I'm not married. / - Okay.
If you watch me, I always talk about my family
or my daughter.
That's what I talk about.
I took Park Narae and Kim Jimin
to his restaurant last week.
- Did you? / - Just you three?
Yes, because I wanted to treat them.
Narae and who else?
Kim Jimin.
Narae was the third wheel again.
Are you courting her?
- No, we just went out to eat. / - Okay.
Narae asked me
how old Hyunseok was.
She loves tall men.
- I see. / - I said he has a college-aged son.
- He has a daughter. / - She was shocked.
- I told her... / - She's in high school.
- High school? / - She's a sophomore.
- She was shocked. / - I noticed that
he has really smooth skin.
Men have blemishes at his age.
Like you, you mean?
A middle-aged man?
They get blemishes and thin limbs.
Yes, like the alien, ET.
"Blemishes"...
- You're a bad example. / - Well...
So when you enter a sauna, you see bees everywhere
with red faces.
The people do look like bees with red faces.
(Reddish blackish blemishes, thin limbs, round bellies)
How old are you two?
- I'm 47. / - He's old.
- I'm 47. / - I see.
I was born in 1972.
- He's much older. / - Okay, so...
- You wrote a comment / - That's right.
on the SNS.
A comment on "No-shows".
A no-show is when someone who
made a reservation doesn't show up.
I did the math one day and realized that
they cost me 25,000 dollars a month.
- Each month? / - That's how much I lose.
The ingredients are wasted.
- Yes. / - Gosh.
I got so angry that I went online and told them off.
I thought of turning it into a campaign
about keeping promises.
A reservation is a promise.
A no-show means there's no chef.
No-show, no chef.
How did things change since you uploaded the message?
Until then there had always been one no-show a day.
- Now... / - None?
There's almost none.
- That's... / - It worked.
- It worked. / - Yes.
This happens, too, though.
The restaurant's always fully booked when I call.
We have a blacklist.
(We refuse to serve you)
As soon as you pick up...
- We share the list. / - So you know those people.
They always tell me that I can order it to go.
Some people reserve tables
at two restaurants at the same time.
Because most chefs are friends,
we share this information.
- Those people also get blacklisted. / - I see.
Or if they keep canceling...
I'm really polite.
- If I can't go, / - Yes.
I give money to a friend to go.
Because I can't go.
- I'm the ideal customer. / - You act like you're rich.
It's not a bad thing.
- Is it not? / - No.
(He won't be blacklisted)
- Wow. / - That was good.
- Really. / - That's good.
- He's not doing so well. / - I make enough to eat.
Take a rest for a minute.
I should've been born rich.
- I'll work harder. / - Yes.
Up next is someone we never thought would be here.
(It's finally his turn)
He's been married for eight years. It's Kim Iljoong.
(Iljoong, the youngest Family Man)
Yesterday's enemy has become today's friend.
- That's right. / - How do you feel?
I feel a bit awkward since I've never been on KBS.
- Every time I pass by Yeouido... / - Okay.
You know how the KBS building looks like
a stereotypical broadcasting station
- with the huge antenna and all. / - Yes.
The huge antenna? That's such a childish description.
When did you become a freelancer?
When?
I left SBS in September.
- It hasn't been long. / - It's been over three months.
- A little over three months? / - Yes.
The biggest difference I noticed as a freelancer
is when you have a steady job,
sometimes you have to cover for someone
on a short notice.
You're not happy about the extra work.
But as a freelancer,
if you get unexpected work
even on short notice,
- it's... / - You must feel happy.
I'm happy to receive more work.
- It's more money. / - That's right.
- What? / - It means extra money.
- It's all about money. / - Don't put it that way.
- I understand. / - Come on.
- You know / - This guy does that.
how the ungrateful Hyunmoo betrayed KBS.
You bring that up every week.
Stop it.
- You mention it every week. / - Stop it.
He was lured in by money.
A lot of people at KBS asked him to stay
- but he left and became successful. / - That's right.
Any word of advice for him
as a fellow betrayer?
You have to take the chance.
- I heard that / - Yes.
your fans are
more worried about you now.
- Actually, / - Yes.
- the story of me quitting SBS / - Yes.
was on the news. And I read the comments.
What did they say?
The number of comments on my article
was probably over 1,000.
It was the first time to see those comments.
Most of the comments were...
- What did they say? / - They were worried.
"What will you do now?"
"You should've stayed at the company."
The worst comment was about
how not everyone will become
like Kim Seongju or Jun Hyunmoo
when they switch to freelancing.
The thought actually motivated me.
- You know each other, right? / - Really?
- Well... / - We're acquaintances.
- We're acquaintances. / - Really?
He started working for KBS in 2005
and I started working for SBS in 2005.
- We started at the same time. / - That's right.
Let me explain.
The recruitment starts with SBS, then it's MBC and KBS.
Kim Iljoong got into SBS first.
Oh Sangjin and I were dropped out.
- Did you try to work at SBS? / - Yes.
Oh Sangjin got into MBC, then I was dropped out
and I got into KBS last.
- And you betrayed KBS? / - You traitor!
KBS took you in.
(KBS took you in)
How could you betray KBS for a bit of money?
It wasn't just a little bit.
- Not just a little? / - You betrayed KBS for money!
Anyway...
And there's more.
My wife and Hyunmoo worked at YTN together.
You betrayed YTN, too?
Traitor.
Yes, I betrayed YTN.
- He's betrayed both. / - I have.
You can now run gigs freely?
Yes, of course. I had to hide it before.
But I don't have to hide anymore.
Have you done it secretly before?
(Oops!)
- He worked for a company. / - That's right.
I can confess now
that I've taken on side jobs
like emceeing for a friend's wedding.
- Nowadays / - Yes.
- I like being photographed / - I see.
- at my gigs. / - That's right.
We've asked the four family men
to tell us the hierarchy within their families.
Hangjun told us
Seungwoo's a real family man.
Is that right?
- I think so. / - What is it?
Last year,
- he once called me at night. / - Okay.
We were chatting on the phone
and I heard a woman's voice saying, "Hello."
- I see. / - Yes.
Is he at a bar?
(A bar?)
Come on.
Hangjun's here today because Seungwoo invited him.
You're good at this. He's good.
You keep saying he's good.
- He's good. / - Is it true?
Is he making up stories?
- He's good. / - What's the story?
- It's not easy to make up stories. / - He's...
- Is he lying? / - I don't know what he's saying.
- No. / - You're good.
I shouldn't say this on TV.
- No, go ahead. / - It's okay.
You're doing well.
We were talking on the phone
and a woman cut in
and said hello.
She sounded very upbeat.
It turns out that it was his wife,
Kim Namjoo.
It turns out
they drink together every night.
That's what I heard.
Do you have to make up every night?
No, that's not it.
- I drink my last glass at home. / - I see.
No matter what time it is,
I always have my last drink at home.
- That's a happy life. / - You're right.
- My wife likes to drink, as well. / - I see.
Sometimes
when I come home late, my wife is
- already asleep. / - Yes.
- But I wake her up. / - And then?
I say, "Let's drink."
- I wake her up and drink with her. / - Wow.
- She gets up for a drink? / - Yes.
Yes, she does get up for a drink.
(You and Namjoo)
(Are unbelievable)
- It's... / - You don't sound like a family man.
She's really a great wife.
You don't sound like a family man.
I heard Seungwoo told us something about Hangjun.
He said Hangjun was the family man.
(Hangjun is ranked as number one family man)
Why is that?
He seems like a family man.
No, listen.
I think that
- he gets bossed around. / - Really?
You could
think of him as a slave.
To me, he seems like a slave,
although I don't know how he feels about it.
After listening to you, Hangjun seems different.
She locks
chains around my ankles.
(18 years a slave)
You know, like a slave.
(Why a slave?)
- But why? / - Why do you feel like that?
His wife, Kim Eunhee, is very charismatic.
- She has charisma. / - Really?
She splurges, unlike Hangjun.
We usually refer to "spending size" in slang terms.
How big is his "spending size"?
I've known Hangjun for over ten years,
- but he surprised me earlier. / - Why?
In the waiting room, he asked me
if I wanted some coffee. It meant he was buying.
- Wow. / - That's cool.
That was the first time ever.
It was his first time buying you a coffee?
Usually, he only brings his own coffee.
Myungsoo is like that too.
(They're the same)
He said,
"I'm getting some coffee. How about you?"
I said, "You must be doing good."
Then he said, "Sure."
- Wow. / - How cool.
Having a successful wife makes you cool.
It was nothing more than just a cup of coffee.
(Keeping it cool with his wife's money)
- It was only a cup of coffee. / - He's still cool.
That's cool. He's not ashamed.
Of course.
- Really. / - Do you get allowance?
I actually am in charge of finance.
(A family man with financial control)
I made much more money at first.
Back then, my wife was
in charge of the money I made.
But she wasn't good with numbers,
which made me wonder why I married her.
That was
when your wife wasn't making much money.
That's right. She didn't know how to keep a book.
Since we don't have steady income,
we need to be careful.
Okay.
We need to plan things out,
so I decided to take care of it.
I managed the finances while working.
And you know,
it's really fun to manage money.
(Planned spending is great)
This is like "100 Minute Debate."
He loves being a homemaker.
I'm happy when I get good deals at a grocery store.
I understand that.
- That's good. / - I understand.
As I ran and managed the household
while saving up some money,
I was feeling proud of myself.
But in the last three or four years,
the power has drastically shifted to one side.
You mean the income?
Has it shifted too much?
As I went downhill, my wife soared.
(Kim Eunhee's success)
- Okay. / - Think about it.
We could both do well or both do poorly.
It was like this.
- She wasn't even working at first. / - That's right.
This much was okay.
(She's in charge now)
When we went for drinks together in the past
people showed up to see Hangjun.
But now people ask him if his wife is coming as well
- because they want to see her. / - I see.
I'm going to kill them all
when I'm in charge again.
Those guys...
You mean the people who asked about her?
You won't leave them alone.
- I won't. / - That's right.
When do you think you'll regain your power?
- When your movie comes out? / - That's right.
Frankly speaking,
there's no point in
- competing with your wife. / - That's right.
But towards the end of our drinks,
why did you always get upset?
- You even cried sometimes. / - Did he?
- Yes, he did. / - I was upset
because I couldn't make new movies.
Why would I get upset about my wife earning money?
(My dear successful wife)
I manage her money since she can't.
Why would I
feel bad about that?
That's impressive.
- I understand him now. / - I know.
Since your wife earns a lot of money these days,
you must be proud of her. Her income must've increased.
I don't think she should be satisfied yet.
(I still want more)
Will you urge her to earn more?
"You can't stop here!"
She should try harder.
- Try harder? / - Goodness.
What was your last movie?
- "Spring Breeze"? / - I directed TV dramas recently.
"Sign" was quite popular.
- I directed "The King of Dramas". / - I see.
- But you don't recognize it. / - No.
After filming those, I told my wife this.
"Eunhee, I've been making a living for us until now."
"So you should make a living from now on."
It sounds quite meaningful.
Out of 18 years of marriage,
I've been making money for 15 years.
- So you want to stop working. / - It's her turn now.
- The life expectancy has increased. / - I keep
saying this, but what I respect about him is that
Eunhee really didn't do anything for the last 15 years.
All she did was sleep at home.
Then one day she got up
and said, "I want to learn photography."
- Then, he bought her a camera. / - Camera?
- I didn't have much money. / - He wasn't earning much.
- I made her a dark room at home. / - He did,
but she's not very persistent.
After taking photos for about two months,
she told him she wanted to learn swimming.
- Then... / - Do you know?
I let the girl take swimming lessons.
- She took English lessons, too. / - That's right.
- How could you call her that? / - I know.
- Goodness. / - It became the basis for her work.
Well, she learned many different things.
- That's right. / - Yes.
The two of you answered differently
about your position in your family.
We also asked them about their opinions on Jun Hyunmoo.
- Their opinions were similar. / - Really?
We asked under the assumption
that Hyunmoo's getting married.
Seungwoo said, "It's hard for Hyunmoo to get married."
"He needs to meet a woman who can fight."
- A woman who can fight? / - Hangjun said,
"Hyunmoo gets involved with many women."
"No matter whom he meets, he will have an affair."
- This is a bit... / - How could you say that?
Hyunmoo seems quite stubborn, so a woman who can
- control him would be good. / - A controlling woman?
- Yes. / - What do you think, Hangjun?
I didn't say that he'll definitely have an affair,
or he's a pervert.
I didn't say he's a pervert.
- What? / - Come on.
- A pervert? / - Seriously.
He uses words that aren't usually
used in entertainment.
He seems like someone
- who has a complicated past. / - I see.
- Which part of him? / - What made you say that?
His neck is quite thick.
(It's due to his thick neck)
- Is it because of my neck? / - Tell us.
- I disagree with that. / - Why?
I don't think he's a pervert.
- A pervert? / - It seems
he has no energy left in his body
for such desire.
He seems much driven
for success and earning money.
- I see. / - He's good.
He would even get rid of his masculinity
to earn money.
(He's an asexual)
- Does this sound better? / - Wait.
- That's not attractive at all. / - Hey.
- Is that better? / - It's not attractive at all.
Their opinions are totally opposite.
- So if he gets married, / - Yes.
he'll be a husband who brings lots of money home.
He'd say like, "You could've bought kiwi fruits"
"at night and they'll be cheaper."
That's something he would say.
- That's completely unattractive. / - Wait.
I choose to be a pervert.
(Hyunmoo prefers sexual desire)
- Do you prefer that? / - I would hate to be like that.
- That's so annoying. / - He does enjoy massages.
It's because I'm unhealthy.
Since he tortures his body so much,
- he goes to get massages. / - Really?
As Hyunseok mentioned, Hyunmoo is
a type of guy who is likely to annoy his wife often.
Hangjun has also said this even though he doesn't
often talk about Jaeseok.
He said living with Jaeseok would be suffocating.
Why would anyone have to live so clean?
- He's speaking for us. / - Everyone agrees with that.
Good job, Hangjun.
- Hangjun, explain this. / - It's a sensitive issue.
- About this... / - Why did he stand up?
- This is because... / - You'll get hated for this.
- It's because... / - It's okay.
I'm not sure if I used those exact words,
but I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
(Suddenly he becomes naive)
- Wait. / - Why can't you say it?
You said I'm a pervert. Talk about Jaeseok, too.
- Tell us. / - You said he is a pervert.
- Isn't Jaeseok a pervert, too? / - Do I seem easy?
The image of Jaeseok
- is very kind and clean. / - That's why.
But it's impossible to be completely clean like that.
Is it really possible?
- There's no one like that. / - That's right.
People who are that pure, we call them saints.
- They are saints. / - Jaeseok is a saint.
- He's like a saint. / - He's a saint.
- You're right. / - Yes.
I'm sure there are things that Jaeseok can't reveal
- about himself. / - Of course.
When you live with someone who is so disciplined,
- it could be suffocating. / - Okay.
- He is very well disciplined. / - That's right.
- He must have some frustration. / - That's right.
- I'm sure he has desires. / - I don't think so.
- He enjoys himself and... / - Are you a workaholic?
I'm not sure if I'm a workaholic.
- He doesn't even drink. / - That's right.
- He can't drink much. / - Isn't he a pervert?
- Are you... / - I have a strong desire.
I have a strong desire.
What is he saying?
(A king of desire)
- Goodness. / - Are you proud of that?
I'm a king in that regard.
How do you relieve stress?
- Many people ask me that. / - Okay.
I don't have much to stress out about.
- What's there to stress? / - I don't have much.
Don't you swear sometimes?
- I do it with my friends. / - He swears at me a lot.
- He does swear at him a lot. / - That's right.
- I do swear at Saeho. / - Of course.
When I say hello to him, he tells me to get lost.
- "Don't talk to me. I'm upset." / - He says bad words?
- It's not that bad. / - No.
He should just say it.
- Actually... / - I can swear like that to you.
When I invite you next time, I'll swear like that but
- I'll still call you with respect. / - Goodness.
What does it mean that Hyunseok is
best at arriving at work but worst at finishing work?
My wife treats me very well.
She treats me too well
if I'm really tired.
I sit in the bathtub.
Then my wife washes my hair and everything.
- She washes you? / - She did that in the past.
- Like a caregiver? / - Does she scrub your back?
- That's a caregiver. / - No, that's not it.
But you're not sick.
- Why would she wash you? / - Well, you can't
determine your position with something like that.
- Well, / - Okay.
we used to live on the 14th floor.
She would come down to the basement
to wave at me until I drove off.
Until when did she treat you like that?
She did that for over ten years.
For ten years, I wasn't treated very well.
It was because we lived with my mother.
We moved out after ten years.
So shouldn't I be treated well since we moved out?
So then, I did whatever I wanted.
- I sat down and... / - So,
- you pretended you weren't married? / - Back then...
You probably kept your hairstyle.
It's a hairstyle of a teenager.
- Why is that a teenager hairstyle? / - Come on.
- What kind of teenager is that? / - Wait.
- It's not a teenager hairstyle. / - Look at his hair.
- He looks younger with that hair. / - Well...
It's got nothing to do with his hair.
Hangjun's hair makes him look like he's married.
- Really? / - Really?
- That's the hair of a father. / - He styled his hair.
He looks like a Japanese during the Meiji period.
(A Japanese policeman)
A Japanese officer.
- More like a general. / - That's right.
It feels like
he tried his best to look good.
- But it seems he overdid his hair. / - I agree.
- Do I look desperate? / - Yes.
- I should change it then. / - If we let him,
he might take off his white sweater and sit as a host.
- He just needs a jacket. / - That's true.
- I think so. / - Who do you think you can replace?
Who do you think is the easiest to replace?
- He's looking at you. / - Goodness.
He's looking at your short neck.
Iljoong, who takes care of the money in your household?
My wife takes care of our money,
so I get allowance from her.
How much money do you get each month?
It's less than 1,000 dollars.
There are times I have to spend more than that.
- So I have extra funds. / - Right?
You must be working without telling your wife.
(Oops)
- Well... / - This is going on air.
- Goodness. / - You must choose only one.
Choose between what?
If it's aired, she'll find out about your secret funds.
If it isn't aired, the show won't be fun.
- Please make a choice. / - Goodness.
That's brutal.
I'm curious which choice
his wife would want him to make.
He wouldn't talk about this on other shows.
- It happened in the past. / - Okay.
When I emceed a wedding and got paid for it,
I didn't tell her about it.
I always have an extra suit in my car.
I pretended I was going out to see
a friend in casual clothes.
(Going out with a detailed plan)
He changes in the car.
I'd change into my suit in the car.
- Gosh. / - I'd hold the ceremony
and receive the money on my secret account.
It's like lying to your mom about studying,
when you actually didn't.
- We'd change uniforms elsewhere. / - Yes, exactly.
Iljoong chose to do well on TV.
There was this one sad story.
I once received an end-of-the-year bonus.
Sure.
And I deposited the bonus into my secret account.
- Oh, no. / - But when I checked the amount,
it was way more than I thought.
I felt so bad for keeping it just for myself.
So I took out 1,000 dollars for myself
and deposited it again to my salary account
under the name of SBS.
My wife saw that and said, "Great job this year."
And she gave me some more allowances.
I felt really sorry as I got that money.
Your wife will find out for the first time today.
Right. She never knew.
- But... / - Yes?
my position hasn't been defined.
- What do you mean? / - My wife did
blow-dry my hair.
- She did. / - People blow-dry their dogs.
Does she do it now?
I don't think you deserve first place because of that.
I don't think we can say that you win the first place.
Your position is unstable.
I have my own room at home
and the door says "Chef".
- Nobody can touch my robots. / - That's true.
Children may want to come in and touch them.
- But I don't let them. / - They may not like them.
They acknowledge my power.
I'm the king of that room.
- When I lock the door... / - You're the king there?
- Only in that room? / - King of your own room?
Everyone has a room.
What do you mean, "The moment you lock the door"?
- Seriously. / - I don't want to be disturbed
when I write a menu or do something on my computer.
When my door is locked, nobody even dares to knock.
- Why are you laughing? / - Hangjun?
The more I listen, the more pathetic this story gets.
- I'd say it's pitiful. / - Yes.
Yes, it's pitiful.
It is.
Hangjun.
Do you have your own room?
How many rooms do you have at home?
I think he'd sleep in the living room.
How many rooms?
Maybe he sleeps on the couch.
I didn't think you'd have your own room.
Don't you have a room where you write scenarios?
You had one before.
I prefer to write in the car.
(How comfortable)
(My car is like my home)
I see, my goodness.
- I'm most comfortable in my car. / - Wait.
Hangjun, tell us more about your home.
How many rooms do you have?
I've always wanted a walk-in closet.
So we have a walk-in closet.
You barely own any clothes.
Are you wearing something from that closet?
I've never seen a film director shabbier than you.
If you don't have many clothes, why you need one?
I bought this in a mall in Yeouido.
(This is a shirt bought at a multiplex mall)
At the mall?
- It's from a fancy place. / - This is expensive.
- This shirt, right? / - The shirt?
The one he wore inside.
- His shirt is... / - It looks expensive.
It's seems nice.
Its collars look sharp.
They might cut your neck.
Aren't they really stiff?
They are.
It's not like the cheap shirts.
Well, Seungwoo.
I recently saw that you had a remind wedding
- after 11 years of marriage. / - Yes.
(A remind wedding held after 11 years of marriage)
- What a sight. / - Which side is the remind wedding?
- It's the one on the left. / - I see.
We're wearing the same outfits.
- Wow. / - I see.
You haven't aged at all.
The picture was taken from afar.
It is from afar.
We should take pictures from afar.
Namjoo does not look different at all.
- What about Seungwoo? / - What about him?
- What does that make me? / - That's not what we meant.
- Namjoo hasn't aged. / - I look the same, too.
- You do. / - It's because you're standing afar.
You two are wearing the exact same outfits.
We are. It made this photo shoot really fun.
We're going to take another picture in ten years
and we're planning on wearing them again.
- These outfits, right? / - You two stayed fit.
So we are determined to stay fit.
Wedding ceremonies require effort.
- It was difficult. / - I swore to never do it again.
But this picture just made me want to do it again.
- It was nothing big. / - That's right.
We just got dressed and took this picture at home.
- Really? / - Did you take this at home?
- I did. / - That's not so bad.
Is that your house?
- I laid out a fabric. / - It's like a cliff.
- It's a piece of fabric. / - This is a fabric.
We took the picture on our own.
That's not bad. That's worth a try.
- It is worth a try. / - Lend me your house.
- Sure. / - His house?
I don't have a wall like that.
You should open a business.
He doesn't have a wall like that.
I'll pay you.
I don't have a wall like that.
Lend him your clothes.
This really isn't a bad idea.
(We'll look forward to another picture in ten years)
After your children were born, your wife pays
less attention to you.
She uses different ingredients when she cooks.
How are they different?
For example, she gives good rice to our children.
Is that right?
She gives me regular rice.
How does she keep them separate?
It's not government-stocked. It's not that bad.
Not that rice.
- She uses different sesame oil. / - How?
She gives organic ones to our children
and we eat market-bought ones.
- That's pretty bad. / - Before Martin Luther King Jr.,
there was severe discrimination.
That's not what it's like.
Speaking of Namjoo,
she's a great wife.
She is also known as a fashionista.
I heard that you have
muddied her name
- recently. / - I was so shocked to see this.
I was very shocked to see this picture, too.
We have the pictures.
Wow.
(Kim Seungwoo, the worst dresser)
- What are you wearing on the right? / - This is called
Seungwoo's traffic light collection.
Aren't they all right?
You look aged in this one.
- Isn't it all right? / - That's fashion from the 80s.
(He looks like an old government official)
He looks like he's from that time.
Your jacket is too vivid.
I always loved vivid colors.
- I see. / - He's wearing one today.
Exactly, my taste is tacky.
- Isn't the red one okay? / - That's too vivid, too.
I was so angry that I was chosen as the worst dresser.
- Was it this one? / - Yes.
I asked my wife how this jacket was
and she said, "It looks good."
She told me to wear a bow tie,
but I didn't want to wear a bow tie
because I was afraid that
it would make me look like I will be getting an award.
So I gave up on the bow tie.
- I see. / - "I don't care for an award."
"I don't care for an award."
That's what I wanted to get across.
- That's why. / - You're making a statement.
I wanted to show, "I'm not here to get awarded."
"I'm here to just participate."
- "I'm here to enjoy the show." / - That's right.
That's what your clothes say,
but your facial expression says otherwise.
No way.
I thought only people like Jim Carrey would wear those.
Or
African American rappers.
- You're right. / - People who talk badly about others.
My goodness.
Following Seungwoo, let's move on to Hangjun.
- Let's talk about his wife. / - Yes.
She's the writer of "Sign", "Phantom" and "Three Days".
She's an extremely successful scriptwriter.
How did you two meet?
- I heard... / - I'm curious, too.
I first met her at work.
I hope this doesn't sound wrong,
but she had a great body.
- You're a pervert. / - You're the pervert, aren't you?
I always preferred someone with a body
that was glamorous and balanced.
You should've been interested
in her writing, not her body.
- That's right. / - She was a scriptwriter.
Anyway, she had a great body.
The question was, "How did you two meet?"
Stop mentioning the things you like.
You don't have to describe those things in detail.
Anyway, she was my colleague, so I had to teach her.
- Of course. / - And I taught her.
After our work gatherings, we went for another drink
after she said okay.
And we drank, but I don't think
I can talk about the aftermath on TV.
- Excuse me. / - This is frustrating.
- Try us. / - Tell us.
- Hangjun, come on. / - It can't end so abruptly.
That wasn't a conclusion.
I'd always wanted to marry early,
so I thought, "Who could I marry right at this moment?"
It was just my thoughts.
And I wrote down some names.
- Really? / - How many were there?
You wanted to get married.
There were about seven names.
I made the list just as I'd like.
After making the list of names, I put a score on each.
The scores were...
- out of ten. / - Was it an audition?
I started giving scores.
Categories were the face,
- and the body. / - Of course.
- It was out of ten. / - He's the pervert.
- Probability of marriage. / - A probability?
A probability of getting married?
Another important thing was their fashion tastes.
- It was important to me. / - I see.
It all came down to three people.
- It was the finals. / - Among the seven, right?
- The seven have no idea, right? / - They have no idea
- you did this on your own. / - It's down to top three.
Eunhee won
by a narrow margin.
You shouldn't have said "by a narrow margin".
You should say she had an overwhelming victory.
If Iljoong or Hyunmoo had been there,
you would've wanted to broadcast the situation.
- It was a close match. / - It must've been intense.
You were doing it on your own, right?
Yes, I was sitting alone saying, "This is intense."
(It was as intense as a Korea-Japan match)
Did you let her know of her victory?
When we cast people, we always say,
"You're the only one we wanted", right?
Of course.
- You're right. / - I called her right away.
- What did you say? / - "Come out."
"I have something to tell you."
- "Marry me." / - Did you say it right away?
- Is that how you proposed? / - Yes.
And she said, "Okay."
- Really? / - Just like that?
- She liked you, too. / - She did.
Eunhee liked me.
- You two liked each other. / - Yes.
I heard Eunhee likes a funny man
like Kim Gookjin.
- You look like him. / - He was her ideal type.
You look a bit like him.
- You do look like him. / - He sounds like him, too.
- Yes. / - Yes.
I heard you were financially challenged early on.
As I got married,
I had no doubt about my bright future.
I always thought my future was set.
So I gave up being a scriptwriter
and decided to become a director.
So I said, "I don't take commissions anymore."
It was a sort of statement.
But at that time,
my wife was working as a radio scriptwriter.
I asked her, "Eunhee, what do you want to do?"
She said, "I want to rest."
I answered, "Then, quit."
"Our future is bright."
That's irresponsible.
- Why are you so irresponsible? / - That's awesome.
I said, "Enjoy life."
So, she quit.
How were you so confident?
I thought I could become a director, but I couldn't.
(His future was dark)
- Yes. / - That can happen.
To be honest,
it's really tough.
- It's not easy. / - You need luck as well.
- We actually ran out of rice. / - Oh, dear.
My wife said, "We're out of rice."
"What about ramen?"
- "We have some." / - Really?
- But we hadn't paid our gas bill. / - What did you do?
So we used the propane burner.
(The portable cooker)
Have you had a fight with your wife?
It doesn't seem like you would have.
We fight when we're playing cards.
- One-on-one? / - Just us.
Because her money is mine anyway,
so we started recording who won how many points.
If one of us reaches 1,000,
the loser does the dishes for a month.
- I see. / - That sounds like fun.
We played for all sorts of titles,
but I just couldn't beat my wife.
That really upset me.
Society is already calling me a loser
and cutting me off
and now even at home I'm losing.
- You just can't win. / - Nothing is working out.
- She used to be my typist. / - Okay.
I really wanted to beat her.
(To beat his wife)
(What did Hangjun do?)
- I marked on the cards. / - No way.
(Sacrificing his conscience for victory)
- That's just dirty. / - He cheated.
- Gosh. / - You're a cheater.
He's a professional gambler.
He did what professional con artists do.
That's when I started winning every game.
I can even tell what cards she has.
(I know everything)
I know everything. I can't lose.
I became omnipotent.
I feel sorry for your wife.
(He was on a roll)
My only mistake was that I played drunk one night.
- What happened? / - What happened?
I was drunk so I couldn't see the marks clearly.
(He couldn't see clearly)
I needed to see the markings on the card,
so I leaned over like this.
She said, "Hold on."
- Hold on. / - She told you to freeze.
"What did you just do?"
"What do you mean?"
"What were you looking at?"
"What did you do?" That's when she found out.
The cards were worn from use.
(The cards were falling apart)
We'd been playing so often.
She asked, "Why did you cheat?"
"Why would you cheat? We're not playing for money."
- That's pitiful. / - I said,
"I wanted to beat you."
(A husband's earnest wish)
"I wanted to beat you."
"Okay, then. Let's buy a new pack of cards."
This time I decided to mark the cards
with even smaller signs,
so I took the cards into the bathroom.
Sometimes bathroom doors in old homes
unlock by themselves.
- That's true. / - It happens.
(His house lacked the necessary security features)
- That's right. / - Yes.
- Did she catch you? / - I was on the toilet
with a small nail clipper.
You did put a lot of energy into it.
I was making a mark and the door opened.
(He was caught again)
- What happened? / - She cursed at me.
(She cursed at him)
"How could you cheat against your wife?"
"You, such a pathetic..."
(Woof, woof)
She is my wife.
(Perfect timing, perfect joke)
- This would make a great movie. / - That's funny.
These kinds of things happen to everyone.
Sometimes we're cowards
- Yes. / - and sometimes we get caught.
My wife caught me once, too.
- Doing what? / - Doing what?
When I sleep, I dream about playing games.
- That's how much I loved it. / - You love video games.
My wife hates when I play games.
It gets really bad, if you become addicted.
So I decided to go to bed early.
(He waited for his wife to sleep)
You have to be careful not to make any noises,
so I chose clothes that didn't have any zippers.
- You prepared ahead. / - I put them in my living room.
When I think my wife is asleep, I nudge her.
I have to confirm she's sleeping.
If she doesn't respond...
- Avoid the REM sleep stage. / - Yes, of course.
- She has to be deep in sleep. / - He does know a lot.
We had an iron gate
- that made a loud click. / - What did you do?
I scaled the wall.
Once, I even got caught by a policeman.
- Scaling your own wall? / - Yes.
So I went to an Internet cafe and started to play.
I played for about three hours.
I was there until 03:30 a.m. or 4 a.m.
Then I scaled the wall and came home.
If I'm fully dressed,
my wife will say, "You played games, didn't you?"
What do you do?
I take it off
little by little, pretending to be asleep.
She'll wake up if I move too much.
You're acting like a spy on a mission.
He's trying to avoid making any noise.
It takes 90 minutes to take off tracksuit pants.
- The day she caught me... / - How did she catch you?
It's all about timing.
It took me too long to take off my pants
because my wife wasn't fast asleep.
I fell asleep with the trousers around my legs.
(He was exhausted)
- Out of exhaustion. / - She caught me.
- He was tired. / - I mean...
Even after 17 years of marriage,
my wife still speaks to me in honorifics.
- Does she? / - Yes, she speaks like that.
The first time I felt threatened was
when I was busy playing.
I had a few airborne units and was ready to drop them.
- I was so close from winning. / - Okay.
My phone rang.
I usually don't answer at such an important time,
but she called three or four times.
She was pregnant at the time.
When I picked up,
she said just one sentence and I said I had to go.
No one understood why.
For the first time ever
she said, "Are you really a human being?"
- She was pregnant. / - Yes.
It was the first time she addressed me informally.
The hair at the back of my head stood up.
I left without dropping all my airborne units.
- Is that something you regret? / - Actually,
we call that "leaving a game".
It's really impolite.
It's a terrible thing to do.
It's just as bad as a no-show.
It's that bad to just leave a game.
- That's right. / - But I did that.
I felt threatened. She said,
"Are you really a human being?" Even now I get chills.
When I get home late at night, after dinner and drinks,
- I can't wake my wife. / - Okay.
There's something called a night crawl.
- The night crawl? / - I do that.
When Kim Shinjo first infiltrated the country, it took
- him an hour... / - Isn't he a North Korean spy?
to crawl a meter.
That's how slowly I crawled.
It's similar to how Hyunseok, goes to bed.
If you move at that speed,
you will reach the bed by morning.
(Get in bed and get back up)
You wake right up.
"Did you sleep well?"
Hyunseok, you're handsome.
Was there a reason you got married so young?
- Weren't you 27? / - That's too early.
- His wife was young. / - I was 27 and my wife was 23.
- Wow. / - Back then...
- We had no plans for our future. / - That was early.
We had pagers back when I was dating.
My parents paged me
to ask where I was and to come home for dinner.
I said I was with my girlfriend
and they invited her to dinner.
My mother seemed to like my girlfriend
and on the third time my father said,
"Tell her parents we want to meet."
They really liked her.
So the two families met over a meal.
That very day, they decided
we should marry in six months.
- It became official. / - Yes.
- That's how it happened. / - Wow.
- Didn't they object? / - I was happy but
I thought "Can I look after someone"
"when I can barely care for myself?"
So we got married and
my wife got pregnant during our honeymoon.
- We found out two months later. / - Wow.
We both thought my wife had caught a cold.
- A cold? / - Goodness.
They were very...
- You were young. / - Yes.
She started having morning sickness.
We argued and I still had dreams.
That's when I thought
I was very immature and thought
"I wouldn't mind selling my soul"
"if I could go back in time."
- That's what I thought. / - You were struggling.
We could have delayed things by a few months.
It was such a tough time for me.
But over the last 17 years,
- we became good friends. / - I see.
I'm so glad I got married early.
- Are you? / - Yes.
Would you do the same again?
- If you had the choice? / - At that age?
- This question is... / - What would you do?
I'd get married.
Because if it hadn't been for my wife,
I wouldn't have had my daughter.
- Would you marry your current wife? / - Yes.
Although my wife said she wouldn't.
(She said no)
I really hated children.
As a kid when my cousins cried,
I pinched their cheeks,
or flicked their foreheads.
That's how much I disliked children.
But when my own baby was born
she was just the cutest thing.
She couldn't even talk properly.
Afterwards every child I saw looked cute.
Really?
I used to be mean and aggressive,
but I started to change after my daughter was born.
The birth of a child changes us.
Before we had children, married life
was just an extension of our dating period.
The stages of pregnancy and birth
and then raising a child
help us realize what married life is.
This is what a family really is and what it takes.
You feel this responsibility and desire to work harder.
That's what I think.
My biggest change since marriage
is not being able to meet my friends as much.
- That's true. / - That's true.
- You can't visit Southeast Asia. / - That's right.
- It's impossible. / - You're right.
- When I was single, I had fun / - That's right.
going to the beach with my male friends.
They were always waiting for my call.
- Now I'm married, so I can't go. / - That's true.
Now my friends say, "Iljoong's married, he can't come"
and they go without me.
Then you slowly lose touch.
Yes, and we drift apart.
I think to myself, "Around this time of year,"
"I would be at the beach with my friends."
Take your wife to the seaside.
- I do travel with her. / - It's different.
- With friends... / - If you love the sea, just go.
I don't love the sea. I love being with my friends.
It's not like getting a massage with a friend.
Do you think all I do is eat and get massages?
Stop talking about that.
- You're... / - You love massages.
All you two talk about are massages and betrayals.
They don't know a lot about each other.
What I want to know is...
Look at you.
- Yes. / - He's trying to survive.
- That's good. / - I want to get married now
because I don't like walking into my dark apartment
- Then keep the lights on. / - and my messy bedroom.
- Clean it up. / - Clean it up.
- Hire someone, then. / - I'm sorry.
- Hire a cleaning person. / - I'm sorry.
Keep going. Let's listen.
- Tell me about the good things. / - There are a lot of
good things like you said, when I go home after work,
my wife and children greet me.
It's really great to spend time
with my wife watching TV and eating together.
- Iljoong, your wish is to... / - Yes.
live one more day than your wife.
- Wow. / - Yes.
- Wow. / - That's so romantic.
I want to take care of her till the end.
The biggest reason however, is that
I actually want to spend a night out, even for one day.
- So you want to spend a night out? / - Is that why?
Do you want to go to a club?
I thought it was going to be a touching story.
I really want to be free
from my wife's curfew.
- Are your friends single? / - They're getting married.
I actually told them not to.
How touching.
It's been nine years since I got married.
- I really want to go to a pub. / - Really?
- Right? / - I really do.
- Today's topic is on marriage. / - Yes.
He kept telling me to get married when I'm 54.
- People live up to 100 these days. / - That's right.
The average life expectancy was 70 when I got married.
Now it's 100.
- Aristotle once said / - What?
people should get married at 30.
At the time, the life expectancy was 50.
- He said 30. / - So 20 years before you die.
Iljoong, you said you changed cars seven times
- in five years. / - What?
- That's impossible. / - Is that possible?
How could it be possible?
I always think about my family first.
- I don't believe it. / - When my wife was pregnant,
I bought an SUV thinking about loading baby carriage.
- But the upkeep was too expensive. / - It's expensive.
- So I switched to a smaller SUV. / - I see.
But the smaller one
- was too small and uncomfortable. / - That's right.
- So I switched to a sedan.
Did you discuss it with your wife?
I bought the car when she was away from home.
I kept switching cars like that.
I would get up in the middle of the night
- and I would go look at cars. / - Wow.
- You're really into cars. / - It was for my family.
You should've stayed in bed for your family.
(Please stay in bed for your family)
- I'm not into cars like Iljoong. / - I see.
So when someone's car bumps into mine,
I don't call the insurance company.
"Just give me 30 dollars."
(Cash will do)
(Car is just a transportation method)
One time I was playing
badminton in a park with my friends.
Someone scratched
a big "X" on my car.
- Oh, no. / - That's annoying.
On my violet car.
Oh, boy.
But I wasn't too upset
because my car was really dirty.
- Really? / - Yes.
The scratch made it easier for me to find my car.
- Because of the scratch? / - That's right.
I had that car
until Seungwoo got married.
Because he got married at a very fancy hotel,
people thought that I wasn't
one of the guests.
(His car didn't suit the occasion)
- They judged you by the car. / - That's right.
- They didn't allow me in. / - No valet service?
I told them I was here for the wedding.
They said "really?" and let me in.
There were a lot of celebrities and cameras.
They were broadcasting the wedding almost.
I was going to say hello and just leave, but then
the elevator doors suddenly opened in front of me
and Jang Donggun was standing there.
I know him, so I said,
"Hey, Donggun!"
The bodyguards shouted, "Get out of the way!"
(He got shoved)
- They thought you were a fan. / - That's right.
- What about the story of Jongshin? / - What story?
He was like a father to me, then.
(He was like Hangjun's guardian)
We went out for a drink
with Song Kangho, Seol Gyeonggu
and Choi Minsik once.
I was really poor then. I didn't have enough money
to pay for a bus to return.
(He was poor but wanted drinks)
Jongshin was really happy to see the movie actors,
so he drank
a lot more than he could handle.
He got really drunk and I got worried
because I needed him to cover my transportation fares.
- You needed money. / - He went to the bathroom and
didn't come back. I asked the manager what happened.
Jongshin got too drunk and passed out
in his van, apparently.
I said, "No!"
(If you leave,)
(I can't go home)
I tried to wake him up.
(He was completely drunk)
- He was drunk. / - "You have to give me some money."
"You can't just leave."
"How much can I take?"
He put up his fingers.
(Jongshin managed to)
(Signal him to take 20 dollars)
He wasn't completely drunk, then.
I think he was still conscious.
- Did he not say anything else? / - He said...
But we both thought that helping out a friend
- was the right thing to do. / - That's right.
- He has good stories. / - It's like his own talk show.
- He's so good. / - He's funny.
I was really worried earlier today
after hearing that Hangjun was one of the guests.
I've hosted a show with him once.
His stories were long and not funny.
The writers did cheer him up,
but behind his back, they wanted me
to quickly move on to the next topic.
Why couldn't you talk like today?
I'm not sure. Maybe the sunspots have shifted?
That's really funny.
You are a completely different person now.
Iljoong, since you are on a talk show,
you need to show us something interesting.
- Leave no regrets. / - Oh, man.
- The show's not over yet. / - We've got time, right?
- Yes. / - We have some time.
Not a lot, but yes.
(Good luck with that)
Let's talk about your children.
Your children haven't been seen in public.
Is there a reason?
- They're still young. / - That's right.
I don't think it's good for them
to be getting lots of attention,
just because their parents are famous.
He says he keeps the birth certificates
in his wallet.
It's nothing really.
This is my family.
- Oh, pictures. / - Your kids' pictures.
- They're adorable. / - Wow.
- This is the birth certificate. / - Wow.
I carry this with me
to feel and enjoy the responsibilities of being a dad.
- You carry this one, too. / - He's so handsome.
"Dad, be careful. I love you."
- Wow. / - Back when I was away,
she wrote me a note.
How would you feel if your children
wanted to become celebrities?
Currently, I would not approve
because they haven't had enough time to think about
what they want to become.
But since you and your wife are actors, they'll really
- have talent. / - Yes, I think so, too.
Once they finish school
and become adults,
If they still want to be actors,
then I'll allow it. And as a fellow actor,
if I see that my kids have potential,
there is no reason for me to stop them.
What about your daughter?
She wanted to become a writer for TV dramas.
- Wow. / - After her mom.
Nowadays, she wants to be a film director.
To be honest,
I don't think my daughter will do well in school.
(Due to genetics?)
- Come on. / - You're her dad.
She could get upset.
I'm worried that she'd get upset
over not getting good grades.
- I see. / - That's very touching.
- That's really nice. / - My family's motto is
"Live life as if it's always on Summer break."
We shouldn't worry about the future
that hasn't even dawned on us.
Let's not worry.
Right now is our time.
- That's right. / - It's profound.
- Enjoy life. / - That's good.
- Here's a picture of her. / - Yes.
- She doesn't seem stressed. / - I saw it before.
- She's cute. / - She's really cute.
She seems so happy.
Once a month, I take her out of school
and go on a retreat.
There are a lot of
things to see in Seoul.
Places like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Deoksugung Palace,
- Bukchon and Seochon. / - Wow, that's great.
We go to places and eat whatever we like.
- We do that. / - Usually parents don't do that.
You're a nice dad.
What does your wife say?
She's busy working.
- But, / - Their roles have switched.
my wife has the same views on education.
What was your childhood like?
- Teachers used to beat kids, right? / - Yes.
I was okay with it.
Really?
Rather than spending hours to finish homework,
I would choose to get five beatings.
- It takes five seconds. / - That's practical thinking.
- Wow. / - That's actually clever.
You just have to endure five seconds.
I've never thought about it that way.
Beatings won't kill us.
You're right.
So I usually don't get stressed.
- That's why. / - That's right.
We heard you have a story
about lying to make your mother happy.
- That's right. / - It's a funny story.
Viewers must be wondering
about how many more stories I've got left.
I know.
It feels like he told us
- about 120 stories. / - There's no end.
I've never seen anyone with so many stories to tell.
This is the last one.
- I have to make up new stories. / - Okay.
- "Make up new stories." / - I don't want to hear it.
I'm not sure if I was in third or fourth grade.
I can't remember.
I went back home after school on Saturday.
My aunts, my mom's siblings,
were playing cards
together in a sunlit room.
My mom was playing cards with my aunts.
It was such a beautiful scene.
I wanted to make them happy.
- Wow. / - That's what I was thinking.
At the same time,
they greeted me.
So I called out to my mom and aunts
and said "I became the class president."
That came out of nowhere.
Were you lying?
I was lying.
When I lied,
my mom jumped and they hugged each other.
My aunts took turns to lift me up
and jumped up in happiness.
It was like a festival.
That came out from nowhere.
It happened the way you wanted.
They thought I wasn't a good student.
So when I said I became the class president,
one of my aunts said schools have direct elections.
You can become the class president if you aren't smart.
After a while, I forgot about I had said this.
- You forgot? / - Yes.
The next day I went to school.
My classmates told me that my mom came to school.
- Oh, no. / - You were in trouble.
My mom gave out presents to my teacher and classmates.
Since you're the class president.
- So my classmates... / - Her son was the president.
- Goodness. / - There used to be
watercolor paint made in Japan.
- Japanese watercolor... / - At that time,
there were 60 to 70 students
- in one class. / - That's right.
She bought gifts for everyone.
She thanked my homeroom teacher.
My teacher wasn't sure why.
(They didn't know what was going on)
She thanked my teacher
for helping me become the president.
The teacher said that's not possible.
- She must've been so embarrassed. / - That's right.
- She must've been embarrassed. / - Yes.
My teacher said he had something to tell my mom.
He said I hadn't done any homework
during the whole semester.
- Wow. / - She must have been shocked.
I didn't even know it happened.
So while I was sleeping that night,
my parents were looking down at me in the dark.
"Why did he do that?"
They couldn't understand.
- They found out I lied. / - They couldn't understand.
My mom asked, "Shall I scold Hangjun tomorrow?"
My dad replied, "Leave him be."
"He must have wanted to be the president badly."
This isn't some skit. They should have just asked you.
This is almost
like a movie.
Even though I was awake,
I pretended to sleep because I knew they'd scold me.
They didn't mention it to me ever since.
- They didn't? / - Really?
A few days ago,
I had a conversation with my daughter.
She is a sophomore
but she's already worried about her future.
I told her something similar.
If what you want to do requires you to graduate
from college, you should go to college.
But if you don't want to study,
find what you want to do.
I don't want to force my children to study.
I told her if her teacher tries to force her to study,
I'll have a word with her teacher.
Would you be okay if she wants to be a chef?
She once said she wants to be a chef.
All my employees are healthy and nice people
but imagining my daughter being around them
makes me very angry.
- Why? / - What's wrong with being a chef?
There are some who are aggressive when they're cooking.
They also change girlfriends often.
To imagine my daughter being around people like them
- makes me want to / - He's imagining them flirting.
punish them tomorrow morning.
I bet you'd be very critical
of your daughter's boyfriend.
I can't stop her from getting married.
But I hope she gets married when she's 54.
Did you say 54?
Yes.
Iljoong, what kind of father are you to your two sons?
You and your wife are both news anchors.
So you must recognize
whether their voice or pronunciation is good.
Thankfully, it's been fixed now
but my eldest child had a lisp.
He couldn't pronounce the letter "S".
So I was very shocked.
Anchors can be sensitive with pronunciations.
- Really? / - Of course.
I was very worried.
My youngest son's
voice should come out naturally.
But his voice sounds shrill. "Dad".
"Dad".
His voice sounded shrill.
- That's not good. / - That's right.
- He needs to breathe from his abs. / - "I'm hungry!"
My youngest had a shrill voice
and my eldest had a lisp.
This couldn't be happening.
These are anchors' children.
- I know. / - Towards the second half...
- He's talking. / - He's starting to talk.
Iljoong's coming out strong.
- Wow. / - Here we go.
- Let's go. / - Come on.
- Let's go. / - He's starting to talk.
- He's starting to come to life. / - He says,
"Mom said", so I taught him to pronounce
the "S" differently.
I told him the tongue shouldn't stick out
- and it should stay in. / - Yes.
I taught him one step at a time to help fix his lisp.
But my youngest son still has a shrill voice.
- He still has a shrill voice? / - How does he sound?
How does he sound?
He still says, "I'm back."
- That was good. / - Wow.
Iljoong has discovered a new talent,
imitating his youngest son.
That's hilarious.
How does she call out to his mom?
"Mom!"
(His youngest son saves a boring conversation)
- That's great. / - "Why aren't you helping me?"
His impression of his son is hilarious.
He can use it on other shows.
- That's great. / - It was good.
Aren't you filming a new movie, Seungwoo?
Tell us about the movie.
- It's a comedy. / - I see.
We don't get to laugh much.
Next year is the year of the monkey.
- That's right. / - So I hope that people
will start the new year with a laugh.
Tell us the title of the movie.
It wasn't intentional,
- but today is a Family Man Special. / - Yes.
The title of the movie is "Catch Him to Survive".
- He must've planned this. / - Wow.
- That was planned. / - This is...
- It wasn't intentional. / - Was it planned?
We just happened to be invited on this episode.
We don't even appear in that movie.
- That's true. / - Did we come to promote a movie?
- It just happened. / - I had fun today.
Let him talk.
Hangjun, please continue.
- No, it's okay. / - Please go on.
I wasn't thinking of talking.
(The laughter must continue)
- Wow. / - He's hilarious.
He's funny even to the end.
Today is like his birthday.
He's the Messi of variety shows.
"Happy Together"
will be even more entertaining next week.
Please stay tuned. Thank you!
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
