(Radio Star, Episode 500)
(Radio Star started as a segment of "Golden Fishery".)
(After going through all sorts of hardships,)
(the hosts celebrate the 500th episode of Radio Star.)
(The brothers of Radio Star are back.)
He lost his show, his friends and his fortune.
(They have nothing to fear.)
(They fight over the position of the host of Radio Star.)
(Start the attack!)
Don't you remember?
(Gu Ra's embarrassing past will be revealed.)
(Hee Chul attacks him with biting remarks.)
(A popular singer comes to help them out.)
(It's the 500th journey of conquest of Radio Star.)
("The Miracle of the Wednesday Night" begins now.)
On May 30 2007,
Radio Star started as a segment of "The Knee-Drop Guru".
Today, we're celebrating the 500th episode.
The staff prepared a surprise gift as an appreciation for our efforts.
Is Susie in your box?
It's not easy to fit in this box.
- You can come out now. - Is there a hole in the bottom?
Just come out.
There's a card, too. I'll read it first.
He might skip some sentences. I should read it.
- He always does that. - That's not true.
"Gook Jin, you're the only one who brought Radio Star good news."
"We're looking forward to another good news from you."
"All the staff members of Radio Star."
Gook Jin feels pressured when people say this.
- What? - Are you okay?
Let me worry about it.
(Don't worry.)
- Let's open the box now. - Okay. Let's see.
(He's excited.)
- He got noodles. - "500 portions of noodles"?
- What should he do with this? - He should cook them.
Did they give him noodles?
- Try it. - 500 portions of noodles for him.
- Is that why he gets noodles? - That's right.
How many portions are these?
It's enough for all of our staff members.
(We'd like to be invited to your wedding in 2017.)
- Jong Shin, go ahead. - Okay.
"You hosted all the 500 episodes without being absent."
I'm the first host of this show.
"Thank you for your contribution."
"Please remain as the king of attendance to our 1000th episode."
You know,
what remains forever in a palace are weeds.
Weeds remain forever in a palace.
Whether it rains or snows, weeds are always there.
- I share the history of the show. - He's like weeds.
He's the history of this show.
He didn't miss the show even when he was sick.
I don't have any other shows to host.
(He makes a confession.)
- Open your box. - Okay, I will.
Let's see what's in there. What's that?
- What's this? - Is it a meal coupon?
These are meal coupons for the MBC cafeteria.
- Are these valid? - Yes.
Can I really use them?
I like the food at the cafeteria.
How many are they? Let's count them.
They're worth hundreds of dollars.
- It looks like 100 coupons. - It's worth more than that.
- Is it worth 400 dollars? - It's 500 meal coupons.
- Really? It's worth 2,000 dollars. - Yes.
I can eat there 500 times.
Gook Jin, they got you a much cheaper gift.
I'll give you some of these.
I'm sure they'll cook this for me.
500 meal coupons are worth 2,000 dollars.
They gave you a bunch of noodles.
This is priceless.
- This is worth about 10 dollars. - It matters.
I'll share these with everyone.
I give some to the other hosts.
- I think... - Meal coupons and noodles...
I think they didn't think you would use them all.
"He wouldn't use them all."
I'll come to the station just to eat.
(Let's eat out at the MBC cafeteria.)
- Let's open Gu Ra's gift. - It's a really great gift.
"Thank you for acting mean for the sake of Radio Star."
"Please continue with your criticisms that baffle our guests."
He really is a mean person.
It's not that he acts mean.
- You're born mean. - I know.
- Don't you agree? - It's true...
- that I play the role of a bad guy. - You're not pretending.
- He's not pretending. - I think the staff should...
- He's using method acting skills. - Let people know about it.
What's wrong with your pronunciation?
I need motivation to play the role of a bad guy.
- Open the box. - Okay.
(Way to go, Kyu Hyun.)
- What did they give to Gu Ra? - What's this?
It looks heavy.
(Gu Ra gets 500 makeup puffs.)
- Look at this. - What's this?
(Gu Ra is disappointed.)
- Gu Ra wipes sweat all the time. - That's right.
- This is great. - He uses puffs to wipe his sweat.
(He dabs his face with a puff.)
- Did he read the news article? - Don't do that from the beginning.
- Let's do it together. - Okay.
(A makeup puff is an essential item for Gu Ra.)
They want you to host this show until you use these up.
How much is one of them?
- I think it's 1 dollar. - I think it's 2 dollars.
I think it's cheaper than two dollars.
- It's 4 dollars. - Oh, is it 4 dollars?
It's worth the same as mine.
(Gu Ra is happy after hearing the price.)
We're lucky.
He's so unlucky.
- I love this. - This is great.
- I'll share these with others. - You should.
Here you are.
- Hold on. - He uses it to wipe his sweat.
I'll give you three of them.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
- I can eat noodles for 10 years. - Here you are.
I can eat them for 10 years.
Tell me if you need more.
- Kyu Hyun, it's your turn. - I like this.
- I'll read the card first. - It's Kyu Hyun's turn.
I'm excited.
"Thank you for surviving the other hosts' mistreatment for five years."
We didn't mistreat him.
Exactly. We helped him stand out. He was a newcomer.
- We trained him. - Read it.
"We hope you'll adjust to your military life well, too."
- Thank you for this. - Right.
- I'm curious what could be in here. - Me, too.
- I think... - Open the box.
I think it's military boots or a military jacket.
I think it's a track suit.
- Oh, it's hard tack. - Right.
(Kyu Hyun gets 500 bags of hard tack.)
We're so lucky. See what they got.
- Wow. - I think...
We got the best presents.
I can buy all of it with only three meal coupons.
- He can eat it right away. - It looks like 5,000 pieces.
(Only looking at it makes me feel so thirsty.)
I have 30,000 strands of noodles.
(It's a lot of noodles.)
- This is really good. - Okay.
- Thank you for the gift. - Thank you.
The four of us have been together until the 500th episode.
We'd like to be praised today.
This is a high-end show that lavishes with praise,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Let's introduce today's guests.
Without them, Radio Star wouldn't have lasted this long.
Today, we'll be with the people who made this miracle come true.
Today's theme is "The Miracle of Wednesday".
Our first guest is a former host of Radio Star...
who replaced our former host who disappeared six years ago.
With his harsh criticisms and lame jokes,
he contributed to revive Radio Star when it was struggling.
He said he would be back,
but he handed over his position to Kyu Hyun and stopped visiting us.
Then, he said he would never appear on Radio Star,
but he's here to congratulate us.
Kim Hee Chul of Super Junior.
He decided to be funny after the incident,
and appeared on 16 TV shows this year.
He enjoyed the second peak of his career with his sense of humor,
but he has only four shows left.
- He lost 12 shows. - That's right.
Many of his shows have been canceled.
He's like the terminator of TV shows.
He's here to celebrate with us on behalf of Kang Ho Dong,
the host of "Knee-Drop Guru" who enabled us to make this far.
He's been Ho Dong's right-hand man for 10 years. It's Lee Su Geun.
He used to look down on Radio Star when he hosted "Knee-Drop Guru",
but he became jobless over night without any money.
So I had helped him out.
Also, when Radio Star was in crisis because I was away,
he did a good job in filling my shoes.
- This is true. - Right.
We got high viewer ratings without Gu Ra.
- That's right. - No, you didn't.
- We did. - You didn't.
- We hit it off so well. - You got only 5 or 6 percent.
- He was so funny. - You got 5 or 6 percent.
Radio Star was the most popular back then.
That's complete nonsense.
(He's upset.)
He's the icon of cooperation, Yoo Sae Yoon.
We haven't seen him for a long time.
10 years ago, he debuted with the theme song of "Knee-Drop Guru".
That's all that people remember about him.
- After the show was canceled, - He got so much older.
he had been nowhere to be found for three years.
He even sold his guitar to me.
(He lost everything.)
He still has to say...
that he was sitting next to Ho Dong wearing a blue sweatshirt.
Only then, people recognise him.
He's Woo Seung Min of All Lies Band.
- Woo Seung Min. - Welcome.
I haven't seen any of them in a while.
What's that? Are they trying to be funny?
Be careful.
- Why are you bringing that here? - I don't know. We were told to.
Isn't this Su Geun's idea?
- No. I never buy things like this. - That's right.
You really look like a delivery man.
Please make way, sir. I need to move this.
Please place it carefully.
- Please tell us who sent these. - Okay.
That one is from the everlasting guru...
- Kang Ho Dong. - Did Ho Dong send this?
- I see. - "Radio Star, be forever."
- That's nice of him. - Who sent the other one?
Shin Jung Hwan sent this one.
Is that so?
- From Singapore? - Yes. He sent it...
- from Singapore. - I see.
What does it read?
"From the old mother of Radio Star, the present dessert cafe owner".
- He's running a dessert cafe now. - What does the other one read?
"Radio Star is always there. Only I'm getting old."
That's what he used to say.
- "Shows are always there." - Say, "Radio Star", again.
"Only I'm getting old."
"Radio Star is..."
- "Radio Star is..." - You sound like Ro Hong Chul.
(He pronounces "S" like "Th".)
Su Geun, you're here on behalf of Ho Dong...
as he asked you to, right?
- Yes. I'm here on his behalf. - I heard he sent us something else.
To celebrate the 500th episode, he made a video letter for you.
- Did he make a video letter for us? - Shall we watch the video?
Hello. I'm Kang Ho Dong.
Congratulations on your 500th episode.
I think it's a very happy day for all the entertainers.
As I'm congratulating you on your 500th episode,
it crosses my mind that the three hosts of Radio Star...
appeared on "Knee-Drop Guru" to discuss their concerns.
First, I remember Gook Jin.
(This is Gook Jin at the age of 42.)
(He reminisces the past.)
- My life is so lonely. - He looks so young.
- My life is so lonely. - Indeed.
(Gook Jin's concern is the loneliness of his life.)
Do you have a girlfriend?
- He looks so young. - I do want to meet someone.
- He looks great. - He looks so young.
As the solution, I told him,
"Be reborn as the adorable Gook Jin, the most popular entertainer."
I remember that I shouted that.
Just as I predicted, he's now one of the most popular entertainers,
and he's no longer lonely. He's the happiest man in the world.
Secondly, I remember Gu Ra.
(His face looks funny.)
- Look at his face. - You look so old-fashioned.
(Everyone laughs.)
I want to improve myself.
Are you saying that you want to establish yourself as a main host?
That could be my ultimate goal.
- I see. - To put it simply,
I need to earn more money.
(He hasn't changed in the past 10 years.)
- He makes people hate him easily. - That's right.
It's been only a few minutes since he entered.
He already started talking about money.
- I earn a lot more money now. - I'm jealous of you.
I need to earn more money.
- You talked about your salary. - I told him,
"Be the escape for those who seek laughter."
I shouted that.
Just as I told him, he's been...
of a great help to his junior comedians.
The problem is Jong Shin.
That's my concern as the leader.
- Look at his hair. - My goodness.
(Everyone is surprised.)
- You look like a poet. - That's the most recent appearance.
(It was only three years ago.)
Please help Hareem become famous.
(Cho Jung Chi became popular through "My Ugly Friends Festival".)
Hareem has been seen drunk at bars in Hongdae so many times.
- It's not because of you. - I heard a lot of stories.
- I saw him drunk at a Japanese bar. - Exactly.
The chef thought he was an octopus.
(I remember that.)
So, this is what you should do on a variety show.
As the solution, I said, "Appear on Radio Star."
That's what I said.
It turns out...
- Hareem hasn't been on Radio Star. - Is that true?
His concern hasn't been resolved, either.
So, I hope Hareem will appear on Radio Star...
until the 1000th episode,
and Jong Shin's concern...
- will be resolved. - We missed out Hareem, then.
- Why didn't we invite him? - I wish...
I could be on Radio Star on this happy day...
and share a lot of stories,
but unfortunately, I host another show at the same time.
For the 500th episode of Radio Star, I praise you.
- That's his catchphrase. - Is that so?
- Goodness. - "I praise you."
He said it on a TV commercial, too.
- He did? - "Refrigerator, I praise you."
That's funny.
You're here on behalf of Ho Dong.
Do you also have his ability to see through people?
I prepared these to imitate Ho Dong.
Say hello.
(I'm the Little Kang Ho Dong.)
Did you know that Gu Ra would be this successful?
I told him...
- to give everyone a good laugh. - That's right.
- Now, he hosts a lot of TV shows. - Exactly.
- He won the Grand Award, too. - I'm embarrassed.
Have you known him for a long time?
No. I just knew that we're the same age.
Are you speaking as Kang Ho Dong...
- or as yourself? - Who am I supposed to be now?
- I'm so confused. - Who are you now?
- Are you Kang Ho Dong or yourself? - I'm sorry. I'm Kang Ho Dong.
(I'm Kang Ho Dong.)
Did you know that Radio Star would last this long?
Jung Hwan predicted this before.
- When he was hosting this show, - Yes.
he said this is a good show.
He went on, "I think we can go on for 10 years."
I didn't think it was possible, but his prediction was right.
- He should've seen his own future. - He couldn't...
predict his own life, but he was good at predicting others'.
It was a very unfortunate incident.
- It's normal to everyone. - He can see the future.
He saw Radio Star's future and saw himself in Singapore.
Like this.
(He must be watching this eating dessert in Singapore.)
He made a bet on Radio Star's success.
Hee Chul said that people might not realise the importance of...
Gook Jin's role on Radio Star,
but he plays a role like an ankle monitor of Gu Ra.
- Yes, I did. It's true... - What does that mean?
- he gives others harsh criticisms. - It's hard to understand.
- Indeed. - Sometimes, he crosses the line.
I realised this when I was hosting this show.
It felt like Gook Jin was keeping Gu Ra from committing a crime.
Gook Jin makes a lot of effort even though it doesn't show.
- I think... - Hee Chul has a good eye...
- for TV programmes now. - Hee Chul is...
- mistaken. - He's pointing his finger at me.
Seo Jang Hoon learned that from him, and he keeps pointing his finger...
whenever he speaks.
(They both like pointing their fingers at others.)
- How does Jang Hoon speak? - He speaks like Gu Ra.
- You know how Gu Ra speaks... - He speaks in the same tone.
- as if he were the producer. - Right.
"This isn't very funny. That's good. That'll be aired."
Jang Hoon speaks just like him.
"I think this part will be edited out."
That's how Jang Hoon speaks.
- He's like Kim Gu Ra Junior. - That was good.
- He speaks in the same tone as his. - I'm proud of you, Jang Hoon.
- He stands in the same posture. - Way to go, Jang Hoon.
You should keep going like that.
(That's not what I intended.)
Hee Chul thinks that Radio Star is less harsh than before,
and it's because of Gu Ra who has more to lose...
- than before. - What more should I lose?
I lost my family.
- What more should I lose? - It's not my fault.
- Why are you yelling at me? - I have nothing more to lose.
- What more can I lose? - There must be something...
to lose.
- Do you want me to lose more? - You still have wealth and fame.
Everyone here has experience of losing important things.
- You're not the only one. - Exactly.
Seung Min lost his show. Sae Yoon lost his friends.
Su Geun lost his good public image and his fortune.
Kyu Hyun and I lost our group member.
- We all lost something. - That's right.
- We all lost something in life. - You lost your driver's license.
- Exactly. Gook Jin lost many years. - Excuse me.
He lost many years.
- I lost many. - That's right.
- Jong Shin lost Hareem. - He lost Hareem.
Hareem lost his hair.
(Why would you say that?)
It was different before.
I like non-mainstream shows.
In the beginning, both "Knee-Drop Guru" and Radio Star were...
different from all the other shows. It was new and fun.
- That's what I loved about it. - It's hard to remain new.
This show started to change gradually, which was unavoidable.
As your TV show becomes popular,
you become conscious of people's thoughts. I really hate that...
as a fan of the show and an entertainer.
- When a TV show becomes popular, - Right.
the things about the show that people liked...
- tend to be criticized. - That's true.
Everything you say on the show becomes the talk of the town.
So, both the guests and the hosts tend to be cautious.
However, Radio Star isn't always mean to the guests.
- We're still mean enough. - See?
- Gu Ra enjoys criticizing others, - Right.
- but when he's being criticized, - He hates it.
- he gets mad and hits back. - That's not true.
I praise you.
(Look forward to my criticisms.)
Sae Yoon thinks he's the one...
who revived Radio Star when it was in crisis because of Gu Ra.
- Sae Yoon filled my shoes. - That's true.
- He did a great job. - I was worried a lot.
Right.
- It was funny in a different way. - That's right.
- Sae Yoon had his own unique way. - We hit it off really well.
- You two had great chemistry. - It was fun.
- Can't you just play along? - How can I play along?
Is it because you live together?
- That's right. - It's possible.
(They united against Gu Ra.)
The most thrilling moment of my life
(He chants a Buddhist prayer.)
(Their chemistry gave people a good laugh.)
(Kyu Hyun throws a pen on purpose.)
(Sae Yoon glances at him.)
I will give all my heart to you
Go back to Suk Chun!
I miss those days.
Me, too.
Gu Ra doesn't play along with his jokes.
Gu Ra always says, "Do you think that makes sense?"
He always says that.
- When you serve in the military, - When Kyu Hyun was in trouble,
- Gu Ra helped... - you'll see that I was helping you.
(You'll understand how I feel.)
Looking back, I had so much fun.
The show had a different style from when Gu Ra had hosted it, though.
When Sae Yoon joined Radio Star,
Kyu Hyun was so happy about it saying they hit it off well.
- They had so much fun together. - Host an internet show together.
What do you say? That's a good idea, right?
- Let's do that. - Let's do that.
- That's a good idea. - Host your own internet show.
You should go for the mobile live streaming show.
- I think it was still a good show. - Look at Gu Ra's facial expression.
As I said, I hope to see you two hosting an internet show together...
- soon. - Look at Gu Ra's facial expression.
Are you belittling internet shows?
- No, I'm not. - Why would I do that?
- You were belittling them. - Are you belittling them?
My wish is to host an internet show.
(He escapes the difficult situation.)
- Sae Yoon. - Yes?
You were in "The Knee-Drop Guru".
To celebrate Radio Star's 500th episode,
- you prepared "Cheeky Profile". - Really?
- Here I go. - Okay.
Today's client is Radio Star.
Cheeky Profile, let's go.
The name is Radio Star.
Its birthday is May 30, 2007.
The show is already nine years old.
The Guru should say, "May it go on forever".
However, he's gone. That's life, right?
With Jung Hyung Don as its first guest,
Radio Star has had 835 guests.
Park Na Rae, Cho Sae Ho, Cao Lu, Yang Se Hyung and Kang Kyun Sung...
are a few stars Radio Star made famous.
However, the biggest star Radio Star made...
is MC Kyu, Cho Kyu Hyun.
He went from an unknown member of Super Junior to an MC.
He stayed by Gu Ra's side for five years.
Next year, it'll be over. Done! The end! Loyalty!
(Loyalty)
- Radio Star gives celebrities fame. - He's good.
However, it started with B-list MCs.
The man with anti-fans, Kim Gu Ra,
the man of word play, Shin Jung Hwan...
and Yoon Jong Shin.
At that time, Super Junior was at the height of its popularity.
However, out of all members, Shin Dong was chosen as the MC.
- What happened to Shin Dong? - He had to prepare...
for the 2nd album and quit after 3 months.
(Shin Dong's career as an MC is shrouded in mystery.)
Then came a man who invested himself in golf,
and not in comedy.
The celebrity whose talent was on the decline, Kim Gook Jin, joined.
It was only after then that the four MCs showed teamwork...
and created legendary memes.
What in the world are you doing?
However, it was shadowed by "The Knee-Drop Guru"...
and its A-list guests, Kim Yun A, Ha Jung Woo and Ko Hyun Jung.
It used to be edited into five minutes all the time.
Even the world-renowned celebrity, Rain, only got five minutes...
on Radio Star.
I wanted to avoid Yun A
(Rain is killed in the Radio Star.)
Despite the short length, the show made many people laugh...
with its brutal honesty.
When it was just getting hard-core fans,
the first crisis occurred. It was September of 2009.
He had to go.
He had to go to Singapore to cool off his head.
- That's brutal. - He left in 2009.
- It has already been seven years. - Right.
A self-proclaimed world-famous star, Hee Chul joined the show afterward.
He tried to secure his footing,
but he had to leave for 10 months for his military service.
He became a public service officer.
(Gu Ra was in the Civil Defence Corps.)
How does a public service officer greet?
Trainee No. 101, Kim Hee Chul.
- That's not it. - What do you say at public office?
- At the public office? - The chief of the office came.
- Make it funny. - He said, "Hello, Hee Chul."
Hello, Sir.
- That's how you do it. - Don't you salute?
- Of course, not. - Don't you salute?
He can't salute to civilians.
Public office workers work with civilians.
With Gu Ra's recommendations, Kyu Hyun of Super Junior joined...
as a replacement MC on November 19, 2011.
Around the same time, the guru retired...
and "The Knee-Drop Guru" reached its end.
Radio Star went from living in a rented room...
to owning the building overnight.
Because I became jobless so suddenly,
I joined Radio Star as an MC.
With five MCs, Radio Star produced much laughter and tears.
Then on May 16, 2012,
- the second crisis occurred. - This is history.
Gu Ra left the show for his harsh words,
and Radio Star went into a state of emergency.
However, the four MCs worked hard without Gu Ra.
At MBC Entertainment Awards, Jong Shin won High Excellence Award.
I won Excellence Award and Kyu Hyun won Best Rookie Award.
The show itself won Variety Show of the Year Award.
The MCs finally showed that they don't need Gu Ra.
- What? - What is it?
We've done it. We were very happy.
- We did it without Gu Ra. - We were very happy.
We made a beautiful programme.
Then...
However, the crises of Radio Star weren't over.
On June 5, 2013,
I decided to follow my motto of honesty.
I turned myself in for drunk-driving.
The scriptwriters wrote this.
With me out of the picture, the show has met another crisis.
In reaction to this unbelievable event,
the staff brought Gu Ra back.
It looked as if Gu Ra had told me to turn myself in.
I left and Gu Ra returned.
The crisis turned into an opportunity.
Gu Ra was in another show then.
It was only after that show ended that you turned yourself in.
Was there a time when neither Sae Yoon nor Gu Ra was here?
I left the show before he did.
- I was in a bad mental state. - That's right.
I had pulled myself out of different shows to take a break.
I had talked to my agency and agreed...
to take a month-long break.
- That's right. - I went to Hawaii on my own.
It was during that time...
- the incident with Gu Ra broke out. - That's right.
- That's how... - That's right.
- I returned to the show. - Then, the show had four MCs.
The shoot in which everyone wished me farewell was aired...
so that it looked like everyone was wishing Gu Ra farewell.
The part where I said goodbye got cut off.
Because I returned to Radio Star,
I couldn't pull myself out of other programmes.
That's why you struggled so much.
I was in a bad mental state back then.
Anyway,
with me gone, Gu Ra made a grand comeback.
They changed a crisis into an opportunity.
Who will come when Kyu Hyun goes?
- We need to think about that. - Who will come when Kyu Hyun goes?
- The staff will figure it out. - I'm free on the day of the shoot.
Who do you think it will be?
- What is it, Su Geun? - What is it?
Why doesn't anyone think it could be me?
All of us have had problems.
Since no one is problem-free, there's an obvious choice.
Among those with problems, the one who turned himself in...
should return to the show.
The unique B-grade atmosphere of Radio Star...
made the viewers comment,
"Please come back next week as well."
Now, Radio Star is the best variety show aired on Wednesday...
that has had 500 episodes. What an overachiever!
I haven't heard that laugh in a long time.
Even though it was long, it wasn't boring at all.
- It was fun. - He did a good job.
For 500th episode, they should add video footages...
- and end the shoot here. - You're right.
- Shall we take a look? - Seriously.
I imagined we would wear tuxedos like they do in "Happy Time".
- Seriously. - We would watch video footage.
- "We used to do that!" - That's right.
- Let's see Sae Yoon's crying face. - That's a good idea.
(I'll sincerely cry if I make a comeback.)
Seung Min, the Knee-Drop Song shone in "The Knee-Drop Guru".
It was great.
(The Knee-Drop Song)
Is this...
(This is how they greeted Lena Park.)
(He's singing.)
(This is how they greeted Director Im Kwon Taek.)
(He's speaking nonsense.)
(The pansori performance was to his liking.)
(My goodness.)
(For the queen, Kim Yun A, they tried figure skating.)
(He even wore a figure skating outfit.)
- Close your eyes. - Yes, Sir.
(They even recreated a kissing scene for Lee Sun Kyun.)
(It's a high-end song for greeting the guests.)
We should make a song for Radio Star on its 500th episode.
- That's a good idea. - Let's do it.
- I did prepare a song. - Really?
This is for the 500th Episode Special.
- Radio Star. - I like it.
"There are many stars in the world."
- Your pronunciation is off. - Is he making jjajangmyeon?
- That's what it sounded like. - He needs to enunciate.
Hand-made noodles.
(He smacks his lips before he sings.)
There are many stars in the world
This star, that star, old star, young star
Who's the biggest star in this area?
It's Radio Star
Then comes the musical accompaniment.
Keyboard and drums.
Radio Star
I'm the radio star
Everyone likes Radio Star
Let's all become a radio star
- You made it just now, right? - No, I didn't.
The song repeats itself.
If you sing it again, it'll sound different.
- Wait a minute. - People can sing along.
The song should be this easy.
- The viewers will hear it one... - That's right.
- and sing along. - I see.
- Radio Star - Radio Star
You can sing along right away.
I am the radio star
The pronunciation is important. Radio Star
- Radio Star. - I am the radio star
- I made the song. - It's like "hand-made noodles".
Once you hear the recorded song, you'll know that it's good.
- I think... - Give the song to the staff.
I did give it to them, yet they won't play it.
(He's annoyed.)
(The song for Radio Star will be revealed.)
(Everyone likes Radio Star)
(Let us be like long and tough hand-made noodles...)
(and be around for the 1,000th episode.)
I used to make a living by composing songs for various companies.
I made a song for Ho Dong's barbecue restaurant.
- He's an expert in the field. - Why don't you sing us the song?
I'll sing the song for Ho Dong's barbecue restaurant.
When you crave for pork, come to 678
678, 678
- Wait a minute. - It sounds familiar.
It sounds like a song in Su Geun's commercial.
- 678, 678 - Seriously.
A girl like a flower in the Alps
(Yodelling)
It sounds very familiar.
- From head to toe, Oronamin C - Hold on.
Oronamin C
- You copied the song. - Listen carefully.
When you crave for pork, come to 678
(Yodelling)
(Oronamin C)
- You copied the song. - Listen carefully.
- Maybe your song was copied. - Aren't they the same song?
Seung Min, you said...
you weren't on TV for the lack of job,
but for the lack of desire on your part.
After "The Knee-Drop Guru",
I suffered a lot from psychological trauma.
Why is that?
It was due to others' problems...
that the programme stopped and resumed.
The producer said, "You need to be careful."
"If you don't cause troubles,"
"the programme will go on for 10 or 100 years."
"You're the only one who needs to be careful."
I was careful.
I was careful the entire time.
- Such is life. - I'm still being careful.
- Seriously. - Such is life.
It seems like only you were being careful.
What I experienced made me doubt variety shows and people.
I'm sorry.
Seriously.
That's how I came to work with cultural programmes.
I'm in many morning programmes such as "Hometown Report".
I've been in such programmes for over four years.
Although you no longer work with variety shows,
I heard that you're like Yu Jae Seok of cultural programmes.
I'm not at that level.
I'm at Kim Gook Jin's level.
That's a perfect comparison.
- There's nothing wrong with him! - That's a perfect comparison.
Gook Jin is doing quite well for himself.
- That's right. - There's nothing wrong with him.
- I didn't mean... - It's okay.
- There's nothing wrong with him. - Seriously.
- It's good to be at my level. - That's right.
At first, it was very difficult to get used to.
There would be times when a dish isn't tasty.
However, I had to say that it's tasty no matter what.
People begin cooking for us early in the morning.
Some dishes can take seven hours to make.
I can't say, "Gosh. It tastes bad." It'll hurt their feelings.
- You always say it's tasty. - I have no other choice.
It made me optimistic.
It's impossible to be pessimistic on such programmes.
Even if you're exhausted...
and covered in sweat,
you say, "It's very refreshing."
You have to breathe in air even if it's impure.
There might be dark water coming out of his nose.
He likes cultural programmes.
It changed me.
There's a lot of fine dust.
At first, I couldn't get used to the programmes.
However, if you only swear and grumble,
your life changes for the worse.
- That's right. - Reminding myself of happiness...
even when I'm unhappy made me optimistic and cheerful.
Gu Ra always says this in the waiting room.
"Gosh. I'm tired. I'm always tired."
Gu Ra's face is tight.
- He needs a massage. - He said Gu Ra's face is tight!
You need Thai massage on your face.
Your cheeks look like trapezius muscles.
- Come on. - Trapezius muscles.
Hee Chul and Sae Yoon,
who do you recommend as Kyu Hyun's successor?
Kyu Hyun stayed for five years because he did a great job.
The only one who can do as well...
- is Shin Jung Hwan. - I disagree.
No one else will be able to do it.
It'll be an extremely difficult job for anyone.
Jung Hwan and I will meet via internet show.
You seem to really like internet shows.
- Did you get a job offer? - It's not like that.
(Is he trying to promote it?)
Wouldn't it be better to have someone who was on the show before?
- He's talking about himself. - That's right.
(Sae Yoon enters the competition.)
I think Sae Yoon is the best man for the job.
You need someone with flaws...
who can appeal to and communicate with the public.
- You have the necessary traits. - That's right.
If you don't hire me, I'll go to "Give Me One Bowl of Rice".
(He'll go to a programme that airs at the same time.)
You need to hire me right away. Think about it.
We'll cross the bridge when we get there.
It's rude to talk about it in front of Kyu Hyun.
He'll be here until next year.
- You've always been discourteous. - You never cared about it before.
It's strange to hear Gu Ra talk about courtesy.
(He's a bad man.)
Su Geun, when you took a break at Ganghwa Island for three months,
Kang... You know, Kang... Did Kang Ho Dong visit you?
Did you get confused because Kang Susie was in your mind?
The last name reminded you of her.
Are you obsessed with that last name?
- Kang... Kang... - It was strange.
- I heard Kang Ho Dong visited you. - Yes.
- I was staying at a place... - Yes.
that was remote in Ganghwa Island.
I was afraid of running into people.
Isn't it where Jun Ho stayed?
No. I introduced him to a place he could stay.
I introduced him to a place he could stay.
(Thank you.)
It must be a nice place to be for a while.
- It must be a nice place to hide. - Yes.
Ho Dong would come after the shoot.
He would have soju with me...
- and leave in the morning. - He had struggled before.
He consoled me.
- He takes good care of Su Geun. - That's right.
Su Geun respects Ho Dong very much.
There was a time when Ho Dong took a break from the shows.
Su Geun realised that...
being on the shows without him would be a treachery.
That's why he caused troubles on purpose.
That's what it was, right? You wanted to come back with him.
(I love you, Ho Dong.)
This one is unexpected.
Gu Ra visited you at your home when the incident broke out.
- Did you really do that? - The gesture touched you very much.
- Did you go to support him? - Had he borrowed money from you?
No. It wasn't like that.
I had just come back after a long break.
- I offered to drink soju with him. - It's nice that you went to him.
- It was nothing. - When Gu Ra talks,
his heart is like a spring day.
There's a lot of warmth in him.
- That's Gu Ra. - He just doesn't express it.
- Don't do that. - He's only cold on the outside.
- I'm nothing like a spring day. - Come on.
- I agree with him. - You're like that inside.
It's like an argument by the cash register.
- "I'll pay for it." - Don't do that.
- I agree with him. - Don't do that.
People mistake Gu Ra...
- as someone who is very bad. - Stop it.
- Stop it. - When I was a civil office worker,
I commuted from home.
I went back and forth between home and the office.
Gu Ra would call me for dinner. He takes care of those in need.
I'm not like that. I only do it once in a while.
- Gu Ra isn't the worst. - Stop it.
- He's only slightly bad. - He's nice.
When Su Geun was going through rough patches,
people told me that he was struggling a lot.
That's why I told him that I ate and exercised...
to make myself feel better.
I told him that it's unnecessary to shut himself down.
I was so surprised when he asked to meet him outside the house.
- We had conversation over soju. - We had 3 or 4 bottles.
Hwi Jae's gesture touched me a lot.
- Hwi Jae. - This is what he did.
Su Geun told me back then...
that he recently met Hwi Jae.
Hwi Jae...
threw him something as he was about to leave.
He had given Su Geun a couple thousands of dollars.
- It's like a comic book! - Upon hearing that, I thought,
"Is he asking me for money?"
(Gu Ra is a cold man.)
That's what I thought.
"Does he want me to give him money?"
- I could feel his warmth. - Hwi Jae is the best.
- He came to me and said, - Hwi Jae is a really nice man.
- "Don't miss a meal." - Hwi Jae did that.
- Yes. He gave me an allowance. - Hwi Jae is a really nice man.
He called me out of the blue when I was taking a break.
"What are you doing?" "I'm not doing anything."
"Take good care of yourself." Then, he would hang up.
- Then, he would call again. - He's soft-hearted.
- That's nice of him. - Hwi Jae is a really nice man.
- Seriously. - Hwi Jae.
Everyone's warmth is making me hot.
(He paid a lot of compliments.)
This is what Gu Ra said on "The Knee-Drop Guru".
- "Seung Min is an idiot." - He's an idiot.
"The producer who hired Seung Min is also an idiot."
"Seung Min is lesser than a fly."
- These are some things he said. - My goodness.
You spoke so harshly.
- You were completely reckless. - I can't believe you.
Let's say a female celebrity you badmouthed...
came to you...
and asked you to have drinks with her.
You would have drinks with her even if you badmouthed her, right?
You're an idiot.
Why would a celebrity I badmouthed come to me...
and ask to have drinks with her?
You're an idiot.
What nonsense are you spouting?
(A fly enters the room when he's talking.)
Is this a part of the shoot?
A fly is better than you.
When Gu Ra became the MC of Radio Star,
- everyone was shocked... - He's an idiot.
- by the decision. - Seung Min was the same.
Gu Ra was funny back then.
That's not true. Stop it.
When Gu Ra had just debuted, he was humiliated one time.
There was a time...
he stood politely and got scolded by Tak Jae Hoon.
- Really? - Yes.
Gu Ra was there.
When did this happen?
- It happened at a KBS show. - "On Your Command, Sir"?
- We were in the show together. - Come on.
Listen to me. I remember everything.
- Let's hear it. - Come on.
We had to enter a gas chamber. Tak Jae Hoon and everyone said,
"We won't do it. Why would we enter a gas chamber at this age?"
Gu Ra also said, "I'm not okay with this."
"I can't go into a gas chamber."
"Let's take out this part." Everyone agreed.
However, when the producer insisted that we go in,
Gu Ra said, "If we have to do it, we might as well go in now."
Everyone had agreed not to do it.
That's when Jae Hoon became angry.
He ordered everyone to gather around.
Gu Ra, you were there, too.
Don't deny it.
- What happened? - "Gu Ra."
Don't you remember?
"Gu Ra, you agreed not to go in."
"What do you think you're doing?"
Gu Ra said, "It's not like that. It's not like we can avoid it."
(He's polite.)
Gu Ra. Gu Ra. This is what you did.
- Listen to me. - "It's not like we can avoid it."
- I ask Jae Hoon to be my witness. - Listen to me.
You said that I listened to him like this. That's not what happened.
- Tell me what happened. - Show us.
Jae Hoon and I... Jae Hoon...
- He must be flustered to get up. - Come on.
The story is absurd.
- It's a funny memory. - That's not what happened.
- Jae Hoon is older. - Jae Hoon and I...
- Be honest. - No.
I didn't do this.
- Were your hands behind your back? - No.
- He must have done this. - Listen.
I never bring my hands together.
- There's no way I stood like this. - Kyu Hyun, look.
- Kyu Hyun. - Jae Hoon...
This is what Jae Hoon said.
"Gu Ra. Begin talking."
"It's not like that, Jae Hoon. It's not like..."
(He's polite.)
I didn't do that. Hey! Hey!
In my opinion,
- you've never been that nice. - That's not true.
(His hands looked the politest.)
Gu Ra is soft-hearted.
- I'm saying that you're nice. - That's right.
I remember the incident.
At first, we refused to go into the gas chamber.
- Then, I agreed to do it. - Gu Ra agreed to do it.
- I said, "Let's go in." - That's right.
Then, Jae Hoon got angry.
- However, I didn't stand like this. - Gu Ra.
How did you stand?
- What did you do? - I didn't do this.
- I'm sure you didn't. - At the time...
If I were in a public bath...
and I had to cover something, I would do this.
Why would I do this when I'm wearing my clothes? I didn't do it.
- There were a few witnesses... - I didn't do it.
- including Lee Jung. - No. No.
- No. No! - It's because he...
- suddenly bailed out. - Jae Hoon is older.
- It's because... - Did he see it or not?
- Jae Hoon was so upset. - Did he think...
- Jae Hoon would kick him? - He said, "Gather up."
"Hey, gather up here."
He said, "What are you doing, Gu Ra?"
He replied, "That's not it. I was going anyway."
- "I'm going away." - He's afraid he'll be hit.
- Be honest. - Hey.
- You're right about something. - What did you do then?
- I didn't do this. - Let's say I'm Jae Hoon.
- "Gu Ra, what are you doing?" - "That's not it, Jae Hoon."
- "The producer asked me to go." - You didn't do that.
I did that. I didn't do this.
(He denies it completely.)
Gu Ra was pretty popular, but Jae Hoon was even more popular.
- And when Jae Hoon pointed at him, - Also...
Gu Ra flinched a little.
(Breaking news! Gu Ra flinched when Jae Hoon pointed at him.)
(He waves quickly as if there's a motor inside his hand.)
He did this. "Hey, Gu Ra."
"That's not it."
- Yes. - I'll keep coming up with stories.
If you don't admit it, I will keep making up stories.
After getting scolded, he went inside the waiting room and...
(Crying)
(Breaking news! Gu Ra cried after getting scolded by Jae Hoon.)
I know Jae Hoon well, but I wouldn't do this...
- in front of Jae Hoon. - All right, then.
- Let's say you did this. - At the time, you did that.
- This is too much, so... - Let's go with that.
- Let's go with this. - I'm not satisfied.
Pull it down just a little bit more.
- Or... - Put your hand on the other wrist.
- Yes. - Let's end it with this.
- I will go with this. - Jae Hoon was really upset.
- I will go with this. - He summoned all of us.
- He admitted that he did this. - He did that.
Then Gu Ra went, "Oh, dear."
Didn't you collapse at the time?
You were like, "Oh, dear."
Sae Yoon, you made people vote...
whether they like their mum or their dad.
- Did you get a result? - It must've been intense.
- It was... It wasn't intense. - I'm curious.
- It has to be the mum. - The majority voted for their mum.
- Of course. - It has to be mum.
Kids love their mums,
but as they grow up... Dong Hyun is like that these days.
He used to only care about his mum.
But now, he calls me once in a while and tells me to eat well.
- In the past, - Of course.
- I tested him once. - He's a good boy.
We use separate rooms now. And I didn't go home one day.
I stayed out to play golf.
And I didn't tell him.
I told him I was going to work early in the morning.
He didn't know that I didn't come home.
- He thought you went out early. - Yes. He didn't know.
One day, he called me at 2am.
"Dad, where are you?"
Before, he never even bothered to check my room.
But now, he opens the door and comes in to say hi.
Maybe he was going to check if you're there so he can party.
- Maybe he wanted to invite people. - This is the 500th episode.
It's the 500th episode. We should be nice to each other.
(They will pretend to be nice to each other.)
Sae Yoon, who was your son's choice?
It seems like kids these days still get asked this a lot.
Perhaps because I'm an entertainer,
I don't ask obvious questions, not even to my child.
But I still wanted to ask him that question.
When I asked him who he likes more,
it was my first time asking, and he said, "I like you both."
- He must've been asked a lot. - Yes.
So I thought, "But it's my first time asking."
When my son was in kindergarten, this happened.
I asked him, "What did you do today at preschool?" And he said,
"What do you think? I did some origami stuff."
- He really said that? - He said that? Stop it.
- Really. - Really.
Why would you diss your own son?
- Stop it. - "I just did some origami stuff."
(The kindergartner was already fed up with life.)
Sae Yoon always does something fun on his social media.
- He uses it well. - He posts random things as well.
- He's a good example. - How's your advertising agency?
We're maintaining it.
They make a 1,000-dollar commercial.
Sae Yoon got a request from Gimpo City Hall.
He couldn't be on the commercial, so he recommended me to them.
- So they called me. - That's not it.
It was the promotion video of Gimpo City Hall.
We produced a song for it.
When you say "Gimpo",
a bazooka was going to fire a cannonball.
(He was supposed to shoot the bazooka while saying "Gimpo".)
And?
That's funny.
They wanted a celebrity who lives in Gimpo.
- That was their request. - Heung Gook...
- or Gu Ra could do it. - When they asked, I thought of him.
So I asked him first.
But it didn't work out well. It turned out Yoon Soo Il lives there.
Right!
So, Soo Il held the bazooka and said "Gimpo!"
(I want to go to Gimpo with you.)
(Gimpo)
(Let's live in Gimpo together.)
(Gimpo)
Sae Yoon, your son must be mischievous like you.
I heard he got scolded for dancing in the middle of a race.
He's still... Maybe because his birthday is late,
he's smaller than his classmates.
He's weaker than his friends.
But he has pride.
They were racing,
and the other kids beat him fast.
He didn't want to be seen as the kid left behind, running hard.
He wanted to show people that he was having fun.
- He's got a strong pride. - So when he got behind,
- he started dancing. - He did well.
- He walked like this. - He's very witty.
- As if he's... - But it was a relay race.
His teammates were waiting behind, so his teacher scolded him.
- Right. - You can't do that then.
It's my guess, but...
I think he did that because of his pride. He wasn't being playful.
He didn't want to try his best and still lose.
He preferred to lose while enjoying,
than to lose while trying hard.
- He had to show he didn't try hard. - He was having fun.
As long as he doesn't do a relay race, he'll be great.
(He's got Sae Yoon's wits.)
Seung Min, you raise your daughter and do the house chores.
Yes. When I don't have work, I just stay at home.
I rarely go outside.
The baby wakes up at 8am.
I wake up around 7:30am.
I have to prepare the baby food.
I do that first. She doesn't eat as soon as she wakes up.
I play with her for a while and then feed her.
At 9am, she goes to kindergarten.
- After sending her... - You could go with her.
What is he saying?
- It's because he's tall. - Right.
He reacts like an ordinary person.
- No. No. - What's up with him?
It's because he's been doing shows with ordinary people.
After the baby goes to the kindergarten, my wife wakes up.
Then I fix my wife's breakfast,
- do laundry and do the dishes. - You do everything?
It's my wife first time having the baby, so she's not good at it.
- Isn't it your first time, too? - How about you then?
- Who has prior experience? - Do you have another child?
(What are you saying?)
Seung Min, I heard your sister-in-law is...
Kim So Jung, the national tennis player.
- I used to play tennis with her. - He did.
- She played with Jong Shin. - I heard you played together.
- She was my opponent. - Did she shake her head...
after playing with him?
She came to me and...
told me that she played tennis with Jong Shin.
I asked her if she won, and she said she had lost.
I thought she'd win for sure. I asked her why she lost.
Whenever I try to hit, he went, "So Jung, it's mine. Mine."
He said that whenever she tried to hit,
He'd say, "So Jung, it's mine."
(Come on, hit this.)
- No wonder she lost. - Is she a very good player?
- She's a national player. - In the past,
she ranked as Korea's No. 1.
- She did rank No. 1. - She has to get married now.
- She doesn't have a boyfriend yet. - She's not married yet.
My elder brother is still single.
Why are you laughing? I'm serious.
- Why? Is he too old? - What?
Your elder brother is too old.
- How old is your brother? - He was born in 1971.
That's a 15-year age difference.
- Age doesn't matter. - Age is not important.
Parents who have a daughter feel different.
When will you clarify your stance?
You were looking for a person of her age.
- You're looking for someone young. - I gave up.
I took it back.
- I took it back. - By the way,
the other person might like you more.
- Right. - Age doesn't matter.
But I withdrew that.
Do you have a girlfriend?
- No. - That's funny.
He asked if you had a girlfriend who was born in 1985.
- He did. - I meant...
- He did. - When I date a woman...
- He must've had a young girlfriend. - When I date a woman this time,
I hope there is a bit of an age gap.
But a 15-year gap is too much.
- Oh? - Did you see that?
- One day... - That...
It's nothing.
- There's something. - You came out again after...
- a long time, and you're... - Tell us.
- I know things. - Stop it.
- I know things. - What is it?
- What is it? - Tell us.
- Tell us about it. - I won't say it on TV.
- You did that? - He's a strange guy.
He's flustered.
I haven't seen him in such a long time.
- He could've seen you. - No.
Gu Ra, your face turned red as if you did a headstand.
Please focus on his face.
- No. No. - His face is like a reflector.
Gu Ra, reveal it when you're ready.
- Later. - Loving someone is not a sin.
- It's better for him to say it. - Of course.
- Of course. - Your girlfriend must feel sad.
Send her a video message.
No.
Don't call her during break time.
You can't call her name, so call her 1985.
What is that?
- Gu Ra can't react properly. - There's something.
He can't react properly to our ad-libs.
One scriptwriter suggested something.
He asked if I was up for doing a dating show.
- Try it. - I told him,
"Dong Hyun has to go to school, so I can't."
"Let's do it next year." I thought.
It will be nice if you do it with Jang Hoon.
I will do a lot of shows with Jang Hoon.
Yes. You can host the show, "Can We Get Married".
Or "We Got Married Twice".
I love it.
- I love it a lot. - "We Got Married Again".
(We cheer for Gu Ra's love life.)
Hee Chul, only four members from Super Junior are active.
I heard you gave your car to your parents...
to avoid being the topic of a gossip.
Who remains, then?
- Yesung. - Yesung, Lee Teuk, Hee Chul and me.
- Right. - Kyu Hyun is entering the army.
- Someone else is coming back. - Who's coming back?
- Shin Dong and Sung Min are. - Shin Dong is coming back.
- Shin Dong can replace Kyu Hyun. - I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
(Gu Ra is cold-hearted.)
Are you keeping him in check because he was born in 1985?
I'd love to have Shin Dong here.
- He was born in 1985. - I have a lot of friends like him.
Shin Dong is a good entertainer.
- By the way, - Why...
why would you end this fun conversation?
(He felt uncomfortable and ended the conversation.)
- I see. You gave up your car. - You gave your car to them.
I used the car for about 10 years,
and I drove about 23,000km.
I drove about 10,000km,
and the rest was driven by hired drivers.
- You drove it for a long time. - So...
I don't feel the need to drive any more. Taxis are so convenient.
- Right. - It's better not to drive.
We also have assistants giving us rides.
I thought our group will have no place if I collapse as well.
- So I got rid of the car. - But you need the car...
to go on a date with your girlfriend.
I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time.
If you get a new car, would it mean that you got a new girlfriend?
- I won't say anything about that. - It would.
(He won't leave any comment.)
(That was close.)
Is it right that you usually go on a date in your car?
- He always does. - You do, right?
I heard you use a golf cart.
(Hop in, Susie.)
Su Geun, you're intentionally getting hit by Ho Dong,
and Ho Dong is getting blamed because of your reactions.
I'm troubled these days. I usually don't read comments.
But people around me told me that people are commenting...
that Ho Dong beats me too much.
Many people are saying that.
But for me, it's part of the fun. It's scripted.
Apparently, people think I'm really getting hurt.
If it really hurt, I wouldn't just bear it.
But it's not like that. Honestly, it really hurts sometimes.
(He confesses the truth.)
(Gosh)
Su Geun said he wants to teach me the secret about getting beaten.
There's a technique of getting hit. It's like doing slapstick.
- Teach us. - Teach us.
Let's say Hee Chul is Ho Dong.
This is the wrong way of getting hit.
(He becomes serious as soon as he gets hit.)
That's the wrong way of getting hit.
- It will be edited out. - It will be edited out.
- Now... - You have to...
jump up the moment you get hit.
You have to be on my side.
(He jumps up like a spring.)
(He already looks hurt.)
And you have to move.
You have to keep moving towards the camera.
You have to pretend to be hurt.
You have to make him feel sorry.
You have to keep moving.
The same thing happens when he hits your head.
- It's slapstick comedy. - Please hit me.
Just hit me. Hit my head.
Normally, people...
- You have to hit when I say it. - Okay.
- Okay. - When normal people are hit,
(He hits Su Geun again as soon as he turns back.)
- That's funny. - I'm just joking.
This is how normal people react when they are hit. Hit me.
- That was really strong. - It was bad timing, too.
- It's not fun. - It's not fun.
- The person who hit feels sorry, - And the person who got hit...
- He feels sorry, too. - And it doesn't look good on TV.
- It ruins the vibe at the shoot. - So what do you do?
Think that someone's always bothering you.
You always have to be ready to fall to the floor.
That way, when you get hit...
(He lies flat on the floor.)
(He's almost as flat as a halibut.)
- Do you have to do that? - He actually hit hard.
- Do you have to do that? - I do.
- It's... - You need it on a variety show.
- Come on, Kyu Hyun. - I'm here.
- He's an MC. - Now.
You have to do a variety show with Ho Dong. You have to see him.
- Teach him. - Yes. You're right.
When you hit hard, you hit like this.
- I haven't done it yet. - You haven't?
He flattens this part and hits like this.
That's it. You have to pretend that your arm's dislocated.
- Pretend it's dislocated. - It won't move.
- Shake your arm. - Shake your arm.
(My arm is dislocated.)
Su Geun, you're a Buddhist.
You often host Buddhist events.
I heard you did a speed quiz with monks.
- With monks. - They really surprised me.
When you do volunteer work at temples,
you see the monks quizzing each other.
Many of them involve puns.
Their quiz questions are so funny.
What are some of the questions?
I cracked up when I saw the answer to the first question.
It's so funny that the monks try to get the answer.
There are monks who go around asking for donation.
The question was, "What do you call that monk?"
- Do you know what the answer is? - No.
The answer is "open for business".
(It's funny.)
That's funny.
(That was a witty one.)
- There were so many like that one. - Really?
- Something like that. - Yes.
- At events, right? - It's funny for them.
They were having so much fun.
- But it made me flustered. - We can't say it.
I asked them multiple times if they were real questions.
And he said, "Su Geun. We develop it every year.
Who is the monk who is always missing?
What do you call that monk?
- The answer is "out". - "Out".
(It's very witty.)
They keep giving out questions like those.
- It's their fun activity. - Yes.
Here's one. Who's the monk closest to Su Geun?
- "Self-reflecting". - That's it.
Very good. Good job.
(They celebrate.)
(Lovely)
Sae Yoon, I saw you impersonating rappers.
I've seen you doing it.
Before we watch your impersonation parade,
please impersonate Lim Chang Jung first...
and then move onto rapper impersonations.
I was just impersonating them for fun.
Hee Chul is good at impersonating Chang Jung.
- Try it. - He is?
- No. I can't do it. - I can't do it. I just sang along.
- I'm his fan. - Then why are you trying to do it?
- You told them. - Seung Min, you do it.
I can't. I'm hosting an educational show.
(He's hosting an educational show.)
- He can rap. - All right.
Have you seen "Show Me the Money"?
- Of course. - Nobody watched it?
Flowsik does this. It's not even rap.
(He raps with a thick voice.)
It's not even rap.
(What?)
(He barks fast.)
(He joins Sae Yoon.)
Flowsik has the thick voice.
Right!
- That's it. - He sounds like that.
You're much better than me.
(He's good.)
(He's proud.)
Let's do another one.
- Okay. - Really?
What is it? He just does it.
- What are you doing? - Look.
- I've never done it. - What's up with his shoes?
He's never done it.
I was watching rhythmic gymnastics, and I thought I'd do it.
That's fun. That's already funny.
- This is the beginning part. - I'm excited.
I'm excited.
She needs to stay calm and focused.
You have to do well from the moment you walk out.
(He enters.)
(He walks in.)
Nice one.
(Her bright facial expression and light steps)
(He made them more dynamic.)
This is better.
- Let's go with this one. - He described the situation.
(Good job, Sae Yoon.)
Last Chuseok, Su Geun...
- did a pilot show. - He did it with me.
- Yes. - Lee Young Ae was the guest.
When Jong Shin said he had treated Young Ae before,
and Young Ae didn't remember it at all.
- I've never seen Young Ae... - Jong Shin said it was beautiful.
so upset before.
(Young Ae was offended.)
She was upset. She looked like it.
But it really sounded like they were close before.
But she really looked like she didn't want to remember it.
(He's attacked again.)
She wanted to forget it so badly.
We did a show together for a year.
- That was Lena Park. - That was so lively.
I always imagined how she would dance.
I wonder what you usually do at late nights like this.
- Yes. - It's very hard to stay awake.
Thank you for coming out here.
- They are not close any more? - They're awkward now.
- Too many years have passed. - We're fine.
- She's married now. - She was a girl before.
- It's been a long time. - I asked him why he didn't...
- Ask her out? - Ask her out.
He said he wanted to.
But he worried about what she would think of him.
- So he didn't. - At the time,
everyone liked her.
- Every man in that show did. - She didn't remember it at all.
- Aside from that... - She was offended.
- She was very offended. - She was upset.
- She asked them to edit it out. - I heard the shoot almost...
got stopped in the middle.
(They're destroying him.)
(He's happy.)
I heard this.
(The conspiracy was formed without her.)
- On the car window... - Do you want to know more?
(He wants to destroy him further.)
Su Geun recently went to visit Seung Gi who's serving in the army,
and he saw how disciplined Seung Gi was.
He's somewhere near Chungcheong Province.
He became a man. He's got tanned skin.
- Now you can visit their quarters. - You can visit.
You can check how they live and who he lives with.
I checked his locker, and there was a picture of Seol Hyun.
Yes.
That day, I gave him...
- girl group CDs. - That's nice.
- It's... - The signed version?
Yes, the signed version. I put them in a shopping bag.
- What happened? - It wasn't for Seung Gi.
- His bosses love them. - That's it.
They can listen together. We went to eat at the cafeteria.
The corps commander came and asked where the CDs were.
It turned out Seung Gi left them under the tent we stayed.
- Gosh... - That's...
He rushed as if he left a tank in the enemy camp.
(He reacted very fast.)
(He ran as if he's in war.)

Well done.
Let's welcome back Han Dong Geun.
What a great song.
You're a huge star now.
- We made him a star. - How is it to be back?
I'm so grateful that you asked me back.
I owe it to you.
He doesn't owe Radio Star anything.
- You owe "Duet Song Festival". - We got him noticed.
- Our show... - He went on there because of us.
We opened the opportunity for him.
- Do you know where he first sat? - Where?
- In the audience. - That's right.
Then he joined the panel,
and then, when Jung In got pregnant,
- he filled in. - Instead of Jung In?
It's all thanks to Cho Jung Chi, her husband.
- You owe Jung Chi, then. - Yes.
I thanked him already.
(He thanked Jung Chi.)
The day this episode will broadcast is the day...
Kyu Hyun's last song will be released before he enlists.
This song really has to do well.
Dong Geun, your song topped the charts.
Tell him how he can do the same,
though he's done it before.
- Give him some tips. - Some know-how.
Well...
I can't really...
I just got noticed myself.
So...
How long were you number one?
About two weeks?
- Two weeks? - For that long?
- That's long at a time like this. - Even a week is long.
Lim Chang Jung and Dong Geun are very popular right now.
- And Bolbbalgan4. - Yes. Them, too.
He must be a famous singer.
- Excuse me? - Say hi. Meet Woo Seung Min.
Seung Min.
The song comes out soon. What is it called?
- It's called "Blah Blah". - "Blah Blah".
(Blah, blah, we're on fire)
(They're singing Hyun Sook's song.)
You'll make Hyun Sook famous.
We need to help.
It's "Blah Blah".
We all know that song.
Is it a blah-ballad?
(Kyu Hyun, the prince of blah-ballads.)
When the composer first gave me the song,
- It's Jong Shin's song. - I was surprised.
He's right here.
Could you sing a little bit for us?
It starts like this.
(This is how the song sounds.)
(Kyu Hyun's busking in the streets.)
(He stares in awe.)
(He sings as if he's whispering.)
- It's so sad. - And then...
(He shows off his gentle voice.)
He has such a nice voice.
It's like he's chanting Buddhist scriptures.
(This middle-aged man just can't take it.)
(Everyone else is enjoying the song.)
- Then at the end... - Why are we listening to this?
- Do we have to hear the whole song? - They'll play your music video.
(The musician won't give in.)
Jong Shin looks pleased.
(They wrap it up in a sweet duet.)
Make sure there are no gas leaks.
Or there will be a fire.
Leaking gas can cause fires.
(Watch out, blah blah.)
I like what you came up with.
It ties in.
- You can start off like that. - Blah blah.
Then go into the ballad.
(It's a collaboration.)
Dong Geun, your face has changed a bit. You look nicer.
- Yes. - Any procedures?
- Yes. - I don't think so.
They're called, "Egg Injections".
- I got 50 jabs to shrink my cheeks. - Is that a thing?
- Did you? - "Egg injections"?
- Yes. - Really?
- I can't tell the difference. - I can see the holes.
There are 50 holes.
That's because I'm getting my acne treated as well.
- Did they hit you with a syringe? - Are those not needle marks?
What are those?
I was really surprised.
The injection was endless.
(The small jabs were continuous.)
(He's so cheerful.)
- Dong Geun sang for us. - He's a nice guy.
Only he could pull it off. Give him a warm hand.
- Thank you. - He has to get to work.
You're a real star now. You came only for a short while.
He came just to sing for us.
Thanks for joining us for our 500th episode special.
These four made it possible for Radio Star to last so long.
We also owe a lot to the 835 guests we had on the show so far.
I know that our viewers love us and all that,
but I think we wronged them greatly.
- So... - Even you, too?
- What is it? - If the viewers were to ask...
what we think our crime is,
I would say...
it's that we hosted 835 guests over 500 shows,
bombarded them with hard questions,
never stopped teasing them...
and even cried with them.
That's our crime.
(Everyone's cringing.)
Our worst crime, however,
is that we fail to make you laugh more than we did before.
We really tried.
We deserve to be punished.
That is our worst crime.
- I apologise for his poor acting. - What are we doing?
(Forgive us for the poor acting.)
We'll see you next week...
with harder, meaner questions and...
our usual childish B-grade humor.
See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
("Blah Blah" by Cho Kyu Hyun)
