(The following content may not be suitable for viewers under 15.)
(Parental guidance is advised.)
- You're fat. - I'm fat?
- I mean... - How dare you?
(This show will blow your minds.)
(Kim Gu-ra is glad to insult the guests.)
- How can you say that I'm balding? - You're number five in H.O.T.
(H.O.T. is embarrassed.)
Tony's wife...
I'm Kang-ta's wife
Both the fan and singer have aged.
How dare you?
(A guest leaves the shooting site because of her embarrassing past.)
(They present random dancing.)
(Guests with a tough mentality have showed up on Radio Star.)
("Tough Mentality Special" begins now.)
All right. Today we're here with five guests...
who have a tough mentality and so they are able to withstand any attack.
This is the "Tough Mentality Special."
She has been an actress for 15 years now.
However, she's still being casted on the streets.
Even though she is humiliated for not being popular,
she believes it's because of her beauty,
and is thereby glad. She has a tough mentality.
Her expression doesn't even change now.
(Laughing)
Gu-ra loves this actress.
- It's Seo Ji-hye. - Do you like her that much?
- I'm... - Shy Gu-ra.
- That was an unnecessary footnote. - Shy Gu-ra.
- Shy, shy, shy. - Are you bringing on people I like?
- Shy, shy, shy. - Next week should be Jang Hee-jin.
(We reserve Jang Hee-jin next week.)
This person made young girls believe for a long time...
that H.O.T. members only eat dew drops and don't even go to the restroom.
However, he has now revealed a middle-aged man's dirty and pathetic lifestyle.
He messed up his reputation instantaneously. He has a tough mentality. It's Tony An.
He was the top idol group in 1990. Now, he's a rock star with a million haters.
He forgives everyone. He has a tough mentality and a great character.
He's acknowledged as saint Moon.
He's lived a life that has been like a roller coaster.
If all his haters gathered, they would fill up City Hall.
(The haters are all unified.)
He continuously had a yo-yo effect, but recently, he succeeded in losing weight.
He's the high-five of yo-yo. It's Moon Hee-jun.
Thank you.
(He overcomes it because he's a saint.)
All right. This person... RST-504, the show will begin.
She was famous for this. However, game maniacs...
go crazy just by listening to her voice. She's the goddess of the gaming world.
She's strong only online.
With a tough mentality, she isn't affected by the haters' comments. It's Seo Yu-ri.
She's being called the second Kim Ga-yeon.
(Go away, haters.)
Lastly, this person... We...
This person...
is in the group where Seul-gi is.
- Seriously... - She's the pretty one in Red Velvet.
Is this what this group means to you?
(That's what this group means to you.)
She went through a tough time as a trainee.
She's the oldest person to debut as an SM idol group member.
- She made her debut... - She looks really young.
when she was 24.
- She looks young. - 24 years old?
She has a tough mentality.
She's Irene of Red Velvet.
- Welcome. - Please come in.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Hello. - Hello.
- The old and new SM members are all here. - We're all here.
You wouldn't be here if we didn't exist.
- I respect you. - Good.
Good.
- Gu-ra loves Ji-hye. - Hello.
Many people acknowledge her beauty.
- He looks like his heart is beating fast. - Really?
Your face is as pink as your necktie.
(Laughing)
- That's who she is. - When were you born?
I was born in 1984.
- Really? - Perfect.
- She's born in 1984. - I'm born in 1985.
I see...
- I... - You don't need to do that.
(You don't need to do that.)
- She resembles Ji-hye. - Right. Just slightly.
- They really do resemble each other. - They look similar.
- Yes. - I heard I resemble Hee-jun.
- My goodness. - That's right.
- Hey... - I thought you were my lost sister.
- Her eyes look like mine. - Right.
Female celebrities usually don't say that.
(They even laugh the same.)
Yu-ri, you've become a little chubby.
- Yes, I did. - That's true.
I was ill, so I ate to survive.
- I hope you get well. - I...
- It's okay. - I hope you get well.
I think this is just fine.
I shouldn't get fatter, right?
If you get fatter, you'll be like how I was when I was fat.
You're fat.
- You should stop right there. - You're fat.
(You're fat.)
You're fat.
- I mean... - You wouldn't be here if we didn't exist.
(You wouldn't be here if we didn't exist.)
In the drama "Jealousy Incarnate," Ji-hye...
showed her charm as a cursing anchorwoman.
(She cursed the drunk Cho Jung-seok.)
Wake up.
If you're drunk, you should go home and sleep.
Why in the world are you asking me out?
- Why don't you curse Gu-ra since it's your first time here? - Isn't this too much?
- Isn't it okay? - Isn't this too much?
- You're the icon of cursing. - I don't mind.
- Many people want this. - Let's do this.
All right. Please go ahead.
It's okay.
- Have you prepared? - I... It's not cursing, but...
I'll say the lines from...
- Your drama? - the drama.
Am I Cho Jung-seok?
- What? - Yes.
- I guess you are. - Really?
- It should be set like that. - You're Cho-seok.
(Cho-seok from the internet cartoon)
Cho-seok.
Am I Cho Jung-seok? Who am I? What should I say?
- Just do it. - I'm Cho Jung-seok. What should I do?
(How can you be that brazen?)
You're charming.
- Is this it? - This is...
This is quite enjoyable.
This is...
It's nice to hear that.
- How is it? It's okay, right? - It's good to hear.
Can you say, "You're a jerk" with that same voice?
- You're a jerk? - Yes. The front part...
You're a jerk.
- It's okay. - Good.
Am I allowed to say this?
- It's good. - Is it okay?
We'll give you a perfect score.
(She received a full score for her expression. She's very happy.)
Ji-hye's dream when she was in Grade six was...
- to be Tony's wife. - Really?
- What? - Ji-hye's dream when she was in Grade six was Tony's wife.
- She's shy. - His ears are red.
She's like, "Why was I like that back then?"
- Tony's fan... - Tony's wife...
That's not possible. Seriously...
I was H.O.T.'s fan when I was in elementary school.
- I see... - Not only that,
- Ji-hye's ideal type of man is Tony An. - You're distressed.
She wanted to meet him in real life.
- Is it your first time to meet him? - Yes.
You must have been very nervous.
- Mrs. Tony... - Are you serious?
- I disagree. - Why?
There's no reason.
- I disagree. - What do you think?
- Tony... - I'm speechless.
- Really? Are you nervous? - Yes.
- I'm nervous. - That's why they're seated beside each other.
- What do you think now that you met him today? - I see...
- I misunderstood. - Why?
- I'm sorry. I misunderstood. - It's the same thing.
- I... - The mood is great, but why...
- I... I read the script wrong. - He read it wrong.
- He read it wrong. - I'm sorry.
- He read it wrong. Listen well. - I'm sorry.
- Ji-hye's dream when she was in Grade six was to be Tony's wife. - This is right.
- Tony's wife. - It's right.
Tony's ideal type of woman was Ji-hye.
He wanted to meet Ji-hye.
That's why she was bewildered.
I liked him for a while when I was in Grade six, but why is he called my ideal type?
- What happened? - I'm sorry.
He read it wrong.
(When Kyu-hyun asked if Tony was her ideal type of man,)
(Ji-hye was bewildered.)
- What happened? - I'm sorry.
He read it wrong.
- It's true. - I would have read it like that as well.
Ji-hye's dream when she was in Grade six was Tony's wife.
- Right. - This is right.
- This is right. - Right.
Tony's ideal type of woman was Ji-hye. I heard you wanted to meet her in real life.
- Right. - That means the two are the same.
No...
- It's the past. - Right.
- It's over. - Nonetheless,
- the two are each other's ideal type, and... - He's not my ideal type now.
- She said he's not. - He's not now?
- Of course. - That was when I was in Grade six.
It was when she was a young girl.
- It was when she was in Grade six. - It was when she didn't have an ego.
She was hasty.
(This ends with Tony getting hurt.)
- This is... - She doesn't like him now.
- I apologize to Ji-hye... - Lastly...
You should apologize to me.
(I'm sorry.)
Ji-hye...
wishes that Tony will meet a great woman soon. She's not interested in him.
(She's not interested in him.)
If she hopes that Tony will meet a great woman soon,
- then she really doesn't like him. - Right.
(Tony has been shredded.)
She hopes...
- She wants him to get married soon. - She settled her feelings.
However, those born after the 1980s...
all had nicknames as H.O.T.'s wife.
- I had one as well. - Who was it?
I was Kang-ta's wife.
- Kang-ta's wife. - I see.
- She's Tony's wife. - Tony's wife. Kang-ta's wife.
Where's Hee-jun's wife?
- Hee-jun's wife. - I'm going to meet my real wife...
soon.
(He announced his plans to marry the day after the shoot.)
Because of H.O.T.'s 20th anniversary,
- Hee-jun started his diet. - Right. They debuted in 1996.
He lost 14kg.
We prepared some photos.
Why again?
- This is... - For your information, the production team was concerned.
- However, Gu-ra said it's okay. - It's not that...
Why are you the one who is saying it is okay?
- If the production team was worried, you shouldn't show it. - The team...
- The production team came... - Why would you say it's okay?
- and showed me. - Are you the manager?
They asked me is this too harsh?
I said, "For the show to be interesting,
Hee-jun will say okay."
If you say it like that...
I have to act like I'm an understanding person.
Because... This is...
- This is... - I get hurt, too.
We usually take these out if the guests are actors,
actresses, or those who don't do entertainment shows.
- However, because it's Hee-jun... - Well...
- Okay. - The production team...
- asked Gu-ra if it was really okay. - Is it that bad?
Is it that bad?
There's number 1 and 2, but take a look first.
- Let's go with number 1. - If you can't take number 1, tell me.
- Okay? - I'm excited.
If I started my diet, you should praise me for that.
Why does this show reveal my appearance before the diet?
- All right. This was when you were doing "A New House For Me." - I'm curious.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- This is a picture of you smiling brightly. - Let's see.
- Alright. 1, 2 and 3. - Show it to us.
(In 1, 2 and 3)
- What? - It's okay, right?
- All right. - 1, 2 and 3.
It's okay, right?
- That's alright. - It's okay, right?
I look like a jerk.
It's okay, right?
I shouldn't smile.
I should try to be expressionless when I'm fat.
I should stay still like Irene.
(Sitting still throughout the shoot)
- The next one... - Is there photo worse than that one?
I can show it, right?
- Show it. - Okay.
Just show it.
You're going to show it regardless.
In 1, 2, and 3.
(He looks like Zhu Bajie.)
- Back then... - When was this?
- When was that? - Excuse me.
Isn't that Sinsa boulevard?
I think I've seen him at Sinsa boulevard.
Even though I haven't dressed up,
but I was coming back from an overseas trip.
(Taken at the airport)
Let me ask you one thing.
That's not you, right?
I would like that to be someone else.
He does resemble Kim Bo-sung.
(Loyalty)
Hee-jun could be a little sensitive to this.
- I was worried about this. - I did talk about this in the past.
It's okay.
So, when you look at this part,
and this part here,
He's actually a painter.
- He likes to draw. - Let's focus on this part.
You're making it more obvious.
(The photo has been reborn after Gu-ra worked on it.)
I mean...
That photo hurts me. It hurts me a lot.
You can see this part clearly now.
We have a photo from when you were young.
We'll show you Hee-jun...
How cool he was.
He was amazing when he was young.
(Pulling out)
Hold on.
(She was consoling someone else.)
(Screaming)
- Hold on. - What was that?
Was that me when I was young?
Was that really me when I was young?
Did I tie my hair like that?
We look alike.
- What was that? - We look alike.
- What was that? - Wasn't that Yu-ri?
- Aren't I allowed to show this one? - That wasn't it.
- That's you. - It was you, Hee-jun.
- Was that mine? - Hold on.
- What? - Right now...
Hee-jun, it was this one.
You looked very handsome back then.
That was taken when I was singing as a solo artist.
- I had succeeded in my diet. - You looked good.
I'll look like that if I lose another 7kg.
- If I lose about 7kg, I'll look like that. - You will?
You look good.
I'm working very hard on my diet.
I've lost 14kg.
If I lose another 7kg,
You'll look like this.
You've never been very slim though, have you?
He was slim when he made his debut.
When I made my debut,
- I was around 58kg. - Really?
When I finished my military service, I was 59kg.
You gained 21kg since then, right?
- Compared to back then. - Right.
- The total... If you add it up,
then it would add up to another 21kg.
- Did you weigh 80kg? - Yes, he weighed around that much.
I don't know if I weighed 80kg...
I shouldn't have mentioned that I only weighed 58kg.
All of you are very good at calculations.
All of you must have liked math.
(They have all suddenly become math geniuses.)
(Smiling)
What was the photo from before?
Before...
Shall we take a look?
Yes, let's just take a look now.
We'll look after we ask.
Yu-ri really liked Kang-ta among the H.O.T. members.
However in reality, she looks like Hee-jun.
She was famous in Daegu for being Hee-jun look-alike.
- That's why we have this photo. - Oh, no!
(Yu-ri's consciousness has left the building.)
She looks like Hee-jun.
- They look alike. - She really does look like Hee-jun.
They really do look-alike.
Well, that is...
I don't see anything strange about the photo.
- It's fine. - You look okay.
Was this in elementary school?
No, I was in my second year of middle school.
You were in your second year.
Did you like cosplaying?
Yes, it was a photo from back then.
That photo is really making my life very hard.
- No, it's a nice photo. - Why would you say that?
- She looks like a Japanese idol singer. - Exactly.
We were worried about showing these photos,
but since they like these so much.
(Who likes these?)
Show us.
We have this one, too.
This one is a little...
Even I think this one is a little...
- I'm sorry to say this, - This one...
- Hee-jun... - I'm sorry to say this,
- I do look like you. - No.
Don't say that photo reminds you of me.
I don't like this one.
- I hate this one, too. - Hee-jun,
- Hey. - But I did really look like you.
Give that to me.
Why are you taking a photo while you're sitting on the floor.
(Your bottom would be cold.)
- She looks cute. - Even I think that I was overweight back then.
My size was 77 back then.
- I was very fat back then. - But you still have the same nose and eyes.
- Your face hasn't changed that much. - You have the same eyes.
But with most people,
when people have this hairstyle. This part gets covered, too.
But since she is overweight,
As I see it,
her cheeks are exploding out.
(His corrections are complete.)
It's been four years since Tony An came on Radio Star.
You told people that you felt uncomfortable coming on with Hee-jun.
You said that.
There are a lot of aspects that is uncomfortable for me.
I get nervous when I go on a TV show.
When I go on a show with Hee-jun.
There are a lot of aspects that makes it difficult.
- What do you mean? - Really?
Since our time in H.O.T.,
Hee-jun has always been our...
- spokesperson. - Right.
He is a gifted speaker.
That's why none of the other members,
needed to talk because Hee-jun would do it.
I started to stop talking.
- Because Hee-jun was there. - He would talk for us.
We started to rely on him to be our speaker.
We got scolded a lot.
Hee-jun didn't really tell us off.
He did it to make the program more fun.
But since he scolded us, we started to become more careful.
I actually was really telling him off.
I thought he really needed to get told off.
What happened was,
Jung Jae-hyung couldn't come on the radio show.
And I had said that I wanted to do the show with Tony. It was just the two of us.
We were on air, and he was doing the opening.
These days, everyone speaks naturally, right?
We don't alter our voice tones, right?
He did the opening in a very strange voice tone.
Could you do the opening again? Think of this as a radio show.
"Hello. I'm Tony An, the DJ for a "Happy Life."
Doesn't that sound weird?
- Is it? - What is strange about that?
I don't think it is that strange.
Has he gotten better?
(That's strange, has he gotten better?)
Hee-jun, you have a very nice tone for broadcasting.
- Right. - I'm not joking.
- Me? - Yes.
- Me? - Yes, you do.
- Is it okay? - Yes.
I can't believe that I got praised by you.
I got confused, too. I thought he was praising Tony.
- He kept saying Tony. - He's paying you back.
- He's paying you back. - Yes, I have so much debt.
(I'll keep being nice to you.)
Tony, you have been very open with how you are living.
A lot of people have become worried after they saw that.
- Yes. - "His room is so messy."
"Will he catch some kind of illness from living in a dirty room like that?"
This is a reality program, right?
So if I wanted to,
I could clean up because I know I have a camera crew coming the next day.
I could clean and appear to be very clean.
But I really did want to show people how I'm living.
- He's showing us how he is really living. - This is my reality.
To be honest, I'm not a clean person.
I'm not a clean person, but when you are busy...
there are times when you can't clean. That's what happened.
(Hitting)
(I couldn't clean because I was busy.)
- Was he like this when he shared a room? - Tony shared a room with Jang Woo-hyuk.
- I did. - They shared a room.
- Woo-hyuk is a very clean person. - He's very clean.
He's such a clean person.
When you go into Tony's room,
- Is it messy? - It smells like my grandfather.
It's nice.
You remember your grandfather. When you miss him,
you can reminisce by going into his room.
(Grandfather, let's try to live a cleaner life.)
- Ji-hye, did you see the show? - Yes.
What did you think?
- She doesn't have a happy expression on her face. - She doesn't look happy.
Her expression is saying everything for us.
- She doesn't want to say. - I really want him to meet a nice girl.
(Hurry up and find someone.)
Hee-jun is quoted as saying in an article,
"An H.O.T. reconciliation has been put on hold."
The reason I said that was,
because we are putting in effort and discussion to do this.
We currently in the midst of doing that.
All the articles afterward used the word, "Imminent."
"High possibility of..."
"H.O.T. making a comeback."
There were articles like this since the start of the year.
The fans started to get stressed, right?
This hope had become a torturous situation for our fans.
- If you're going to do it, just do it." - It was taking too long.
"It looks like it is happening. It is gaining steam."
That's just,
- "Gaining steam." - It's not like...
we call the reporters and go, "Hello?"
"It looks like we are gaining steam for a comeback."
"Could you write an article on that?" We don't do that.
As it continued on,
I started to feel so bad for my fans.
We had come to a point where all talks between us on this had stopped.
I felt it was the right thing to tell them that we had put this on hold.
I thought that was the right thing to do for our fans.
You did talk about it amongst yourselves.
We were...
- almost 90 percent there for a comeback. - Really?
Why did you stop?
- We wanted to say it when it had been finalized. - Talks like this...
We wanted...
to let our fans know then.
We wanted to do that.
I wanted to stop speculative articles being written about this.
- Yu-ri, you said that your nickname was Kang-ta's wife. - Yes.
- You're from Daegu. - Yes, I am.
The first place you visited when you came to Seoul was Ogeum-dong.
Kang-ta's...
Kang-ta's nickname is Ogeum-dong's white smile.
I remember him saying that after he made his debut.
The first place I visited when I came to Seoul was Ogeum-dong.
What did you do there?
I went there and breathed the fresh air.
I looked around Kang-ta's hometown.
Have you met Kang-ta in person, yet?
- No, I haven't. - Really?
- You haven't met him? - No, I haven't.
Yes, strangely enough.
After seeing Ji-hye's reaction, I think it'd be better if you don't.
(Tony An's wife)
Right. It's not a good thing.
Kang-ta has lost of hair these days.
- Why would you say things like that. - What do you mean he's going bald.
How can we make a comeback if you say things like that?
You can help give us a bump in our popularity.
- You can try to gain popularity through sympathy. - Sympathy?
(He's a bad person.)
Seo Yu-ri, I heard that before your debut,
you were traveling abroad in Spain.
In a Korean lodging house at Spain,
- you met Kyu-hyun by coincidence. - Yes.
You really do go to a lot of places.
- All night... - How in the world did you meet in Spain?
- they drank together. - Yes, we drank wine all night.
- It was just the two of you? - Really?
- No. - Back then, you thought she's a non-celebrity.
- I was a non-celebrity then. - When you're strangers?
- Right, so two strangers drank together? - Yes.
As expected, he's a lady killer.
(As expected, he's a lady killer of non-celebrities.)
- Yu-ri, this is a fact, right? - Yes, it's a fact.
- I even have a picture. - Talk about it.
What I remember most is how people go to a Korean lodging house,
- Koreans become friends with each other. - Yes.
We ate dinner,
and we were just hanging out.
But a new lodger came in.
Then, he was shown around the house.
Someone said, "Hey, isn't he that Junior guy?"
I replied, "What do you mean Junior?"
She said, "I think he's a celebrity. He's a celebrity."
I said, "Why would a celebrity go to a lodging house when there are so many hotels?"
- You really had that kind of a trip, I see. - Yes.
My mind kept staying on him.
As he walked back and forth, I realized he really is Kyu-hyun.
He's that guy we've only heard about.
This is our luck, going on a trip and yet bumping into a celebrity.
- It was just unbelievable. - It was unbelievable.
It was the first time I saw a celebrity.
- Did you do love shots together? - No, we didn't.
But I did get Kyu-hyun's number.
(He exchanged numbers with Seo Yu-ri.)
(Panicking)
Please let me be the one you talk to. So far,
the things Seo Yu-ri said could cause misunderstanding.
Wait a moment.
- There's no misunderstanding. - But if you...
make excuses, it'll take too long.
So, answer this. You went to Spain, right?
- I did. - You went to a lodging house, right?
- I did. - You drank wine, right?
- Wait a moment. - There's nothing to misunderstand.
- Wait a moment. - Even police investigations only ask like that.
Look.
- I just... - You went to Spain, right?
stayed for three days there.
It was for three days, and there were many Korean lodgers. There were many guys too.
Every night, I just drank wine by myself while watching a movie.
But on the last day, a guy came over to me.
- He said, "If it's all right," - He asked for you to join.
"why don't you join us? We're drinking together." That's why...
- I drank with everyone. - But you knew there'd be women there, right?
Of course he did.
Didn't you think, "Why should I come all the way here and drink with a guy?"
It was just to make a memorable time on my trip.
So, I did. Nothing unusual happened.
- The guy had started it. - But I was really surprised.
To be honest, I thought he'd only go to hotels.
My image of him was of a sophisticated guy.
- But he was at a lodging house. - He does charge into things.
- That alone was incredible. - At hotels, people don't drink together like that.
- Right. - People don't drink together.
- So I went to a lodging house just for that? - Of course.
Isn't that obvious?
You're not a lady killer of non-celebrities but of lodging houses.
(His new nickname is Lodging House Killer.)
Houses in Spain are not soundproof at all.
- That's what makes it fun. - He was in the room right next to mine.
I was about to sleep and turned off the light.
- But I heard water from somewhere... - My goodness!
and heard singing.
Weren't you being too blatantly seductive?
- It was too much. - A guy was showering...
and singing?
- That's what you did! - You seduced her too much.
(He feels wrongly accused.)
I heard singing.
He took a shower while singing, "Sorry Sorry," right?
- It was during a shower. - But the older girl I went on the trip with...
and I listened with our ears on the wall.
- You're right. I'm guilty. - A celebrity went to a lodging house...
and sang while showering in a place that's not soundproof.
And this was in Kyu-hyun's voice!
Yes, it was my voice. I really did do something wrong.
Anyways, you're seeing each other again today because of such connection.
So, all this time, I wanted to be on Radio Star...
as soon as I can and explain this.
Today was the day. I didn't know he'd take it this hard though.
Is it that hard for you to hear?
(Thanks to the fond memory, he's a mess.)
People said that Irene kind of looks like Seo Ji-hye.
It's the opinion of some people.
- This is the first time she spoke after the introduction. - Exactly.
- Why didn't you talk earlier? - Her lips just made a sound as they became unstuck.
She is really...
- It was this sound. - Right, her lips were stuck together.
- You can speak right now, right? - Yes.
Seul-gi in Red Velvet...
said you especially look alike in where your facial features are.
- Right. - That's what she said.
- In what way? - They do look alike.
Just think that you're looking at your younger self.
I heard about this so I had looked it up on the internet.
But in my opinion, she's prettier than me.
- That's not true. - They each have her own uniqueness.
- But they're of a similar kind. - But it's...
how we smile and...
how our momentary facial expressions look a bit similar.
In my view, she looks a lot like Hwang Shin-hye in the past.
Ji-hye's facial lines are a bit thick.
- Irene's facial lines are more minute. - Right.
- Anyways, both of them... - They're beauties.
are unparalleled beauties.
- They're unparalleled beauties? - Yes.
But here's one more woman right here.
I feel odd as you call others beauties. You're taking sides.
You're an unparalleled Hee-jun lookalike.
(Yu-ri, a Hee-jun lookalike)
(They prove themselves to be siblings.)
Irene, don't you have any personal talents?
- Do I have a personal talent? - Yes.
I bet you have one.
Do a personal talent and then...
we can see what type of a person you are.
Wouldn't that help us know?
- Do an impersonation. - Do an impersonation?
Yes.
I don't have any personal talents.
Here's the thing about Irene. She's someone rare nowadays.
A person who is an idol but this listless...
and still like her...
is a first since Wonder Girl's So-hee.
- All that So-hee did was blink. - Yes, she just came and stayed still.
When I asked who her ideal guy is, she said it's a guy who smiles a lot.
And yet she doesn't smile!
- I remember telling her that joke. - She herself doesn't smile.
Usually, when you're on a show like this,
you should try to say at least one more thing. Is that not on your mind at all?
She speaks!
- I thought it was a doll! - Me too.
- She speaks! - I thought she was a Barbie doll.
(She's a shy Barbie doll.)
I'm usually not talkative.
I don't usually step forward and talk.
Ever since I signed with SM Entertainment and Red Velvet debuted,
this is the most I've seen Irene talk.
Is that so?
But really, after I heard she'll be on Radio Star,
I searched for her online.
But Irene's fans...
were really worried.
- It's because there are only talkative people here. - Even now,
we asked the questions but we're the only ones talking.
Why are you talking?
- We're trying to hear from Irene! - That's why I wanted engage her more but had...
- no chance. - Sorry, but I'm taking off your microphone.
You're so noisy.
(You're all so funny.)
- We must hear from Irene. - Yes, we must.
Please talk!
I want to hear your voice.
Irene, did you go to Kyu-hyun's concert with Red Velvet?
- Yes. - But she said Kyu-hyun at the waiting room...
- promised he'll take care good care of you. - Yes.
So you came out today with your heart at ease.
Yes, but...
How did you take care of her today?
I'm going to start now.
(I'm going to start now.)
Did you feel comfort when he said that? Why did he say that?
I think he was very surprised because we went to his concert.
I think he didn't know we're coming.
He said thank you so much for coming. He said he'll take good care of me now.
I'm not close to girl groups.
So I always felt a distance between me and girl groups.
- But they were an exception. - But you got so close to people at the lodging house.
But you can't get close to girl groups?
You joined immediately when asked to join for drinks.
You went right away!
(But you immediately go when asked for drinks!)
- Ji-hye, you usually can't hold back when you see injustice? - Is that so?
- I heard about this. - Yes.
Because of that, even after your debut, with guys...
- you've had some fights. - She had quarreled.
I was waiting for the train at the KTX after filming.
From over there, a woman said, "I said I'm okay."
- She walked toward where I am while quarreling with someone. - I see.
- This man kept bothering her. - Yes.
So, I went to that woman...
and asked, "What's going on?"
She said she gave him directions because he asked.
From then on, he kept following her and said thank you.
He kept bothering her. That's what she told me.
So, I told her to come and sit next to me.
We waited and the train came. We got on the train,
and that man followed on board.
- He got on the train? - He said he's so grateful,
- he'll buy something for her. - He'd say he'll buy her a meal.
He asked for her phone number. Because he did that,
so I said something to that middle-aged man.
What did you say?
I said, "Don't get drunk and behave like this. Just get off the train."
- I told him to go over there. - But weren't you scared?
- He was a drunk guy. - Exactly.
I think I just can't help myself.
- So that happened. - Did you receive a Brave Citizen Award after that?
(Did you receive a Brave Citizen Award after that?)
What was the incident at the movie theater?
Yes?
I went to watch "Harry Potter" with my friend.
Behind us, two non-Korean men...
had come to watch the movie as well.
The movie began, and that's when they started laughing.
- They laughed? - Yes.
At first, I just held myself back.
But their voices were quite loud.
So they kept disturbing the viewing.
It was a scene in which the great wizard in "Harry Potter" dies.
They laughed at that scene?
- It was when Professor Dumbledore was dying? - Yes.
It was a sad scene and they ruined the mood.
(They ruined the viewers' experience.)
- I got so angry. - They ruined that whole movie.
Yes, they ruined the movie and put me in a terrible mood.
I thought this can't be allowed so I went to them.
(This won't do. Here she goes again!)
I said, "Be quiet!"
I just said it in Korean. Then they said,
- "What?" - They'd pretend they don't understand.
They pretended they don't understand.
I thought this can't continue.
So I said, "Shut up!"
(It's an explosion of a girl crush woman!)
- I said it loudly. - But how?
- What if they... - She had tenacity.
That's when they finally became a bit quiet.
They must have thought there's something about that woman.
(She's scary. There's something about that woman.)
In 2007, when Ji-hye appeared in MBC's...
historical drama "Legend of Hyang Dan,"
her co-actor Choi Si-won had scolded her on the filming site.
- Isn't Si-won younger than her? - Yes, he's two years younger.
What did he say?
Was it "Shut up?"
(Did he say "Shut up!" like Ji-hye?)
- Si-won is good at English. - Right, he's good at English.
I bet he made a gesture like this.
(He'd have made a Hollywood actor's gesture.)
You see, it was summer back then.
It was historical drama, and my hanbok was too hot.
So I had taken off the top.
(His eyes look like they'll pop out.)
It was so hot.
Everyone would be able to see this part.
It had become a skirt. It had turned into a top-dress.
Si-won must have thought it was too revealing.
He must have felt that it was too revealing.
- It doesn't seem that revealing. - Right.
A lot of women wear dresses like that.
- If it's a hanbok, - It was a hanbok.
- it could look revealing. - Right.
- No. - A hanbok dress feels different.
(Emphasizing)
- Right? - When women wear a formal top-dress,
- it's similar to that. - Right.
It wasn't a formal dress but a hanbok.
- What's wrong with him? - Listen,
Gook-jin, you're being prejudiced.
They're the same but you're saying hanboks are more revealing.
Are you Park Sul-nyeo?
(The master of hanbok)
- In the end, I think she covered herself. - I don't think she did.
I did wear it. When Si-won left, I'd take it off.
When Si-won...
Why would you do that?
(Are you playing hide-and-seek?)
I think Si-won liked you.
- I don't know about that. - I think he did.
- He had feelings for her. - Yes, he did.
If he had just thought of her as a colleague, he'd just think the weather was hot.
Since he had feelings for her,
he didn't want anyone else to see. "Ji-hye, put this on."
Or he could just have not liked to see her without this part on.
No, that's not right.
- There's no way he would have disliked that. - I'm just saying,
Do you by any chance have a tattoo?
- No, I don't. - You don't, right?
Do you have a rose tattoo?
Maybe she has a tattoo that says, "Live a good life" in Korean.
(Shut up)
Hee-jun, did the H.O.T. members...
discuss a comeback...
with Chairman Lee Soo-man?
We heard that Tony was completely drunk during the meeting.
- Oh, you mean back then? - Yes.
Back then,
Chairman Lee Soo-man had brought a lot of wine. "Try this one."
"I made this one. The flavor is very sweet..."
"and a little bitter." We were drinking wine.
So, everyone had become very drunk.
We can't lose control because we had to discuss something important, right?
We were trying to stay sober and Tony was quiet, like he is now.
- He was gulping down the wine. - That'll get you drunk.
- That'll get you drunk. - He drank the whole glass.
He blacked out.
He squeezed my leg and said, "Sir,"
Was he drunk?
"Sir,"
I got this ominous feeling.
I squeezed his leg and said, "Don't do it."
He suddenly said,
"Give me SM Entertainment."
"Give me SM Entertainment?"
That's absurd, right?
I said, "Are you crazy?" And I covered his mouth.
Chairman Lee Soo-man said he was drunk.
It was absolutely absurd, right?
"Right."
"Our company has grown so big that even Tony wants it."
He tried to let it slide like this.
But he wouldn't stop.
"If I kneel down, will you give it to me?"
If he would give away his company to people who kneel,
then I would have done it and asked.
Kyu-hyun would have done it as well.
(Give us SM Entertainment.)
It doesn't make sense, right?
(He's kicking himself.)
Did you smooth things over?
We did smooth things over.
I didn't remember any of this the next day.
I asked, "Nothing happened last night, right?"
He told me what happened.
- I was so shocked. - You were shocked after you sobered up, right?
I sent him a text. I was too embarrassed to call.
You have to tell him.
Did you ask him to give it to you?
"Sir, please give me SM Entertainment.
(Repeating)
"I'm sober, sir. I'm sober."
"Give me SM Entertainment."
- "Give me SM." - I'm not saying this because I'm drunk.
"Just give me a bite."
(Give me one bite.)
- You sent him a text message. What did you write? - I sent him a text message.
- He still hasn't replied. - He hasn't replied.
- So, - He's in trouble.
- That's worrisome. - With an apologetic heart,
Send him a text message saying, "Give me a reply."
"Give me a reply."
(Instead of an answer they have given laughter.)
Tony has a lot of drunk episodes.
"Once he was so drunk that he couldn't get into his own house."
Was it because you couldn't press this?
I couldn't remember the password.
So I kept pressing the button. I texted people as well.
"Guys, I don't remember my password."
Strangely enough, no one answered.
Did you send the text to Lee Soo-man?
No. After that,
"Give me the password."
"Give me the password to my house."
- "Give me the number." - Sir, I can't get in.
(Why are you asking me that?)
It seems that the first generation idols went through a lot.
You had to pass the random play dance section,
or else you couldn't make your debut.
(Nodding)
Do you still remember all the dances?
I don't know.
- It has been 15 years. - I'm sure you'll dance when you hear the music.
- I could remember if I hear the music. - It could.
Shall we take a look?
- We're looking forward to it. - Do you mean our dance?
- Yes. - We haven't practiced.
People could use this to judge whether you should make a comeback or not.
- Please come out. - Yes.
- With this? - Yes.
Think of this as a...
- Yes, it's a test to see how much you remember. - What if we don't?
Does that mean we can't make a comeback?
(Pressure)
Shall we try the random play dance with H.O.T.'s top tracks?
This is disadvantageous for us.
Right.
- It's been 15 years. - Hee-jun did all the choreography for our songs.
I did all the choreography for our songs.
I'll get scolded again after this.
(In charge of nagging)
Your comeback is on the line.
I'm starting to feel a lot of pressure.
We'll see if you can make a comeback.
Right. A lot of fans are making their judgments now.
We'll be looking to find out which member stopped the comeback.
Why would you say that?
(It's fun for those watching.)
- Are you ready? - You're putting a lot of pressure on us.
- I'm feeling the pressure. - Give us the music.
(They use to be able to dance this with their eyes closed.)
(Will they be able to do the dances that they had not done for 15 years?)
(The first song is "Happiness.")
(He gets caught off guard from the very first song.)
(Hee-jun dances instinctively to the music.)
Go, Hee-jun!
(He remembers the dance as expected of the choreographer.)
(Next up is, Tony's solo part that he had practiced countless times.)
(He stumbles on his part.)
Go Tony An!
Tony, dance.
Hold on.
(Hee-jun is dancing perfectly to the beat,)
No way!
(Tony dances one beat behind.)
No way.
They finish the dance to "Happiness" unhappily.
Hee-jun remembers it all.
He's good.
- You know this one, right. - Yes.
- Were you on this side? - I don't remember.
- Okay. - I thought you were on this side.
- Ready. - It's this dance.
That's good. Let's look at Tony.
(A dance move from 16 years ago that is filled with energy.)
(Worrying about comeback)
(She is deeply moved as she remembers what Tony was like.)
(They dance energetically as if they have now warmed-up.)
Will Tony dance a beat late?
Show them.
Put it in Tony's pocket.
(Kyu-hyun holds the microphone for his senior.)
(It feels like he is controlling Tony with his remote control.)
- Hee-jun, be careful. - Tony.
- I'm doing a really bad job. - Don't give up.
(Hee-jun does Tony's dance part as well.)
Tony is getting ready.
(Stamina)
I can't dance anymore.
(As soon as the music for "Warrior's Descendant" comes in,)
This is the "Warrior's Descendant."
Lee Si-yeon did this dance.
(Squeaky)
What is this squeaking sound?
(We thought they were wearing baby shoes.)
What is this squeaking sound?
(They have baby shoes on,)
Go, Tony.
(However, they have the stamina of Jung Jae-hyung.)
(Even though they are tired, they are moving in sync.)
(Admiring)
This was their first song.
(This next part is highly complex.)
(Perfect)
They are really good.
They remember this part.
(Since they are so good,)
How did they do that?
(We changed the song.)
(Staggering a little)
(They instinctively hold hands.)
They are holding hands.
(They smiled as they danced this song 18 years ago.)
(But now, they are grimacing.)
(He's gasping for breath.)
This is all we do.
Kang-ta is the only one who sings. We all dance like this.
(The sound of applause congratulates them.)
- I'm so tired. - You should give each other a high-five.
- Yes, like that. - I'm so tired.
(It's hard to even give a high-five.)
Tony did follow along.
- Hee-jun was amazing. - He still remembers.
I really thought you were cool when you did the wave.
He's the main pillar in the comeback.
The main pillar has to be thick, right?
(He's the central pillar of the H.O.T. comeback.)
This time, let's take a look at Kang-ta's wife's dance.
- Sorry? - Yu-ri will give it a try.
Shall we go with random, again?
I'm really bad.
Yu-ri is actually a really bad dancer.
I'm really bad. I'm in trouble.
If it's terrible, we'll just turn off the music.
- Okay? - She's a fan.
Here we go.
(The first song is "Candy.")
(Kang-ta, give me strength.)
(She receives his strengths and starts to dance.)
(It seems like she is fighting with the other fans instead of dancing.)
I can't watch this.
(She jumps high in Kang-ta's part.)
She's hopeless.
(Her mom saw her on TV.)
It seems like she's doing fine.
Promise
What more do you expect?
- She knows the dance. - Really?
She does know the dance.
(An emergency landing in front of Kyu-hyun)
What was that?
Keep going. Let's try a different song.
This is "Warrior's Descendant."
- You start like this. - She really does know it.
She does know it.
(She starts dancing from her legs.)
(Faltering)
- She knows it. - She's dancing to the rhythm.
(She's been drinking till the third round of the company dinner.)
She's just starting.
(She puts her pride on the line.)
(She is trying her best.)
(Moving)
(They dance the same moves, but it looks different.)
- What is this? - What is this?
- What is this? - Is this...
Isn't this...
What is this? When did they do that?
When did they do that?
- My goodness... - They did that?
- They did. - They did.
(Can it be this?)
(I'm sorry it's so different.)
- You're incredible. - Good job.
She truly is a fan. After all the years, the fan and the artists...
They've aged together.
(This is a video of how time passes.)
- Alright. Finally... - Please say something.
- It's Irene's turn. - Just be natural.
Irene is the grandmother of Red Velvet.
- I... - She loves sikhye.
(Irene likes drinking sikhye.)
- My two daughters are like that as well. - She likes bibibig.
- Really? - I heard that you wear acupressure slippers.
- My daughter loves gaejang. - Ganjang gaejang?
She sucks on it. She loves it.
She eats salty foods.
Tony, you can identify with her, right?
When you were young, your nickname was precocious child.
Now, you're teased as a middle-aged man.
I'm 40 next year. The first digit changes.
I actually think that my life is starting now.
I've reached the half way point in my life.
However, people around me always say that I'm a middle-aged man.
They tell me I have a middle-aged man's style.
Not long ago, the fact that I have bad eyesight was aired on television.
- Do you have presbyopia? - Is it presbyopia?
My eyes were bad ever since I was in my 20s.
Now that I'm past 30, if I say I can't see clearly,
they say I have presbyopia.
Everyone says that to me.
I liked to eat cheonggukjang ever since I was young.
At that time, they said I was like a precocious child.
If I eat cheonggukjang now,
people say that I'm a middle-aged man.
- That's why you should eat spaghetti. - I should.
You should eat it even though you don't like it. You can eat separately later.
Eat spaghetti.
The fact that you think spaghetti is stylish means you're a middle-aged man.
- This is... - Don't young people like...
- spaghetti? - The fact that you think it's stylish means you're a middle-aged man.
You can eat spaghetti by rolling it on your fork.
- Aren't you young if you eat like that? - You're a middle-aged man.
The fact that you keep referring to "young" means you're old.
(The fact that you keep referring to "young" means you're old.)
- That's what adults say. - I'm curious.
What should I do if I want to avoid this?
- You should clean. - What?
- Isn't that so random? - I mean...
Don't talk between a middle-aged man and woman.
Ask Irene.
- I'm curious. - Ask Irene.
- I... - You said she's a grandmother.
- She's a grandmother. Grandmother. - You can't say that.
We're not grandfathers.
- What should we do to be young? - You guys should talk while eating gotgam.
(You guys should talk while eating gotgam.)
How should they eat in order to not look old?
What's the recent trend?
Trend... I'm quite similar as well.
I'm quite similar as well.
- What are the trends? - What about your friends?
- What about the members? - Do you like cheonggukjang?
- What do other members like? - We all like Korean food.
- Everyone is putting effort to save Irene's talk. - We want to do our best.
- Let us save Irene's talk. - Seriously...
(Let us save Irene's talk.)
- I asked Kyu-hyun... - Every year...
because Irene was so mysterious.
I asked him if she was usually this quiet.
Kyu-hyun said she's really funny when she's with the members.
I'm more comfortable with people I'm close with.
Imagine that you're close with me.
(She's speechless again.)
- If so... - You guys are close right now.
- You would be a true grandmother. - Right.
(She would be a true grandmother if she's close with Gu-ra.)
She's so quiet.
- No... - I mean...
- So... I mean... - A good host doesn't give the guests stress for that.
- That's... I mean... I gave up being a good host. - Right.
However, because of that,
Irene comes to us with a novel attribute.
Rather than trying so hard to talk, it may better to stay still like this...
You're just talking about yourself.
(You're just talking about yourself.)
Doesn't the fact that you're trying not to look like a middle-aged man make you old?
- Right. - I don't try.
I think there's a reason.
These days, when I see my juniors such as Red Velvet,
they come to the waiting room and greet us.
They do something like, "We are such and such."
- Two, three. Happiness. Hi. We're Red Velvet. - Happiness. Hi. We're Red Velvet.
It's hard to accept that.
I don't know how to do this. I can't go like, "T, O, N, Y. I'm Tony."
(The juniors are embarrassed.)
- Ji-hye, you're from Seoul National University. - Right.
You were voted number one for your looks,
but you were third overall if you include character. What's this?
It's because of things like "Shut up."
(It's because of things like "Shut up.")
The male students at my university...
voted for the prettiest girl at my major...
just for fun.
They had different votes for appearance...
and for appearance plus character.
I think that's what they did.
- However, for appearance, I... - You were number one.
- Yes. I was number 1 for appearance. - Number 1 for appearance.
- Yes, I was top one. However, if character was included, - If it was...
- then I would be top 3. - That means you were ranked 7 or 8 in terms of character.
(Ji-hye is undisturbed by the hosts' teasing.)
When Ji-hye is stressed,
she goes regularly to clubs at Hongdae.
That's not true.
If you don't go regularly,
- then do you go once in a while? - Yes, when I was young,
I would once in a while with my friends.
When my friends saw me dance, they told me not to dance anymore.
When we talk about clubs,
- it's not important whether you went there regularly or not. - Right.
- It's important us to see you dance. - Right.
- We want to see how good you were. - Can we see your dancing skills?
- Yes. - Think of this place as a club.
This place is a club. There's H.O.T., Gu-ra, and Gook-jin.
I'm going to order spaghetti.
Hey. You should at least mention vongole.
- Why do you keep saying spaghetti? - It's not just spaghetti.
- Why? - You should say something like aglio e olio.
- Right, you should say something like that. - What should I bring up and notify?
(What should I bring up and notify?)
(Spaghetti is just spaghetti.)
- All right. Let's see Ji-hye dance. - He's old.
I'm not good at dancing.
- Please give her a round of applause. - Yes.
- I think she'll be good. - I think so as well.
- She is Seoul National University's... - She's the prettiest girl.
She was one of the top three.
She's was voted number one just on looks.
(How well will she dance?)
This dance is from a long time ago.
(She shyly dances an old-fashioned dance.)
All right.
- We're at the club. - Let's go.
- Let's go. - Good.
(Whatever.)
That's good.
- Good. - She has begun.
All right. If you're shy, bow your heads.
(Dancing)
(She does her best dancing as told.)
(She ends energetically.)
That was great.
There's not much difference between myself and her, right?
- There's a big difference. - There's a big difference.
(The H.O.T. members are resolute.)
Do you dance like this when you go clubbing?
- Yes. I just swing back and forth. - You just swing back and forth?
- Probably... - That's why... There are many reasons why she became top three.
I think your rank went down because of your dancing skills as well.
(Oh dear...)
Hee-jun, you're a saint who can embrace haters.
However, you did all you can do to not embrace Tony,
- who had a contagious disease when you were active as H.O.T. - Contagious...
It's during the hidden camera show.
The S broadcast company shot a hidden camera show.
I received a call from my manager,
he said that Tony had caught a contagious disease.
I went there and saw Tony lying down with a patient's costume.
I... I didn't want to get close to Tony.
Standing slightly away from him, I asked if he was okay.
However, he asked me to peel a tangerine for me...
- even though he can do it himself. - We have a video prepared.
- What? - You should have told me earlier. I was explaining.
- We were going to see it first. - We were going to see it first.
- You started to talk first. - You should have said, "Let's see the video" and...
- then talked to me. - That's old-fashioned.
(You're an old-fashioned person.)
- H.O.T. "I've Never Seen A Star Like This." - "I've Never Seen A Star Like This."
My goodness.
- My goodness. - That was when I was skinny.
Why do I always get a disease?
This is a candid camera.
- Are you here? - Hee-jun came.
- Tony? - Hello.
(A fake nurse enters.)
The patient has a contagious disease.
Don't tell the patient because he can't know.
Don't ever go close to him.
The nurse says the disease is very contagious and warns them not to go close.
That's J... Jang.
We have to give you an injection.
- Jang Woo-hyuk. - We have to give you an injection.
- Jang Woo-hyuk is there. - You could catch the disease.
- They're acting. - Jang Woo-hyuk leaves.
(Hee-jun is nervous.)
(He even gulps.)
- Are you here? - Tony wakes up.
It's you, Hee-jun.
Is there anything to drink?
He's asking for something to drink.
Hee-jun gets a tangerine.
He passes it to Lee Jae-won.
(Hee-jun acts as if he's calling someone.)
- Look at him acting like he's doing something else. - He's peeling.
- He's acting like he's doing something else. - Why is he calling someone?
At that time,
Lee Jae-won goes out.
- All right. - Then...
(Give me some tangerines.)
Tangerines.
(Hee-jun hesitates.)
(Hee-jun takes his hand away immediately.)
Look at Hee-jun.
Are you putting the tangerines on the bed for Tony?
You... You're seriously...
How interesting.
The tangerines...
I almost died trying not to laugh.
What's this?
Can someone scratch my back?
At that time, Tony asks someone to scratch his back.
- Hee-jun. Can you scratch my back? - What? Okay.
He's nervous.
See how Hee-jun will scratch Tony's back.
(He grabs and lifts something.)
(It's a shoe.)
(Scratching)
- What is this? Is this real? - It is.
- Was the scripted? - It's real.
(Scratching)
- Did you really scratch his back with that? - I couldn't touch him.
- There's nothing else to scratch him with. - This time, Tony says his head itches.
(Please scratch my head.)
All right. You can't scratch his head with a shoe.
(He puts his hands inside his sleeves.)
That's so mean.
(He's not really scratching properly.)
- At least... - At least I'm doing it.
- The other members are staying still. - He is scratching...
(Should I take this further?)
I need to go to the bathroom.
- Can you carry me on your back? - What?
(He's taking this seriously.)
I don't think I can walk.
(Do I have to carry him?)
- Hee-jun... - He still carries him.
(He carries Tony.)
(Hee-jun is a loyal friend.)
(Heartwarming)
- What is it? - At that moment...
- The doctor is here. - Patient.
Why didn't you guys wear masks?
(What?)
How could you leave the patient like that?
- Hee-jun catches on very fast. - What are you doing?
- I'm itchy. - I'm itchy as well.
(Hee-jun has realized the truth.)
- This was H.O.T.'s "I've Never Seen A Star Like This." - "A Star Like This."
What is this?
(Anger)
That's funny.
- That was... - During the hidden camera for SECHSKIES,
they cried when one of the members fell.
H.O.T. is very different from them.
- One of them was riding a hang-glider and fell. - A parachute.
- They cried a lot. - They cried because they thought Eun Ji-won got hurt.
Right? They cried because they thought Eun Ji-won got hurt.
That injury isn't contagious.
Tony is unique.
Tony suffered because of inferiority complex.
He thought he didn't have any scandals because he wasn't popular.
- We know one scandal. - There was a huge scandal.
- Right... - There was one recently.
- I'm talking about when I was active as H.O.T. - I see...
- I see... - During that time, I felt inferior...
- compared to the other members. - You did have it.
Hee-jun is a good dancer and he's the leader.
Kang-ta is the lead vocalist.
- Jang Woo-hyuk is a good dancer and charismatic. - He's a good dancer.
- What about Lee Jae-won? - Lee Jae-won and I...
- were always fighting for fourth and fifth place. - Lee Jae-won is tall.
- Right, he's taller than me. - Right.
I didn't think of that. You enlightened me.
(Gu-ra attacks with real facts.)
Tony. You're good at rapping in English.
- Why do the questions go back and forth? - So?
So... I was always fighting for top four... What was I talking about?
- Inferiority complex. - Just think of what you're going to say...
- and continue when they're done. - That's why I always fought for top 4 and 5...
- I'm tired. - And?
- You didn't have any scandals. - Let's continue. What was the question again?
- You didn't have any scandals. - You were upset.
I got stressed because I was always fighting for fourth and fifth place.
However, some of the members had scandals.
Was Hee-jun the first one?
At first, I felt bad for him.
- Why are you talking about this? - Right.
- This is... - Don't talk about this.
- Please... - H Construction Company.
- Why? - L Company. I'm asking you to edit this out.
- H Construction Company. L Hotel - Why?
H Construction Company. Who did you date?
(H Construction Company. Who did you date?)
- What's wrong? - You can't...
- L Hotel. Who did you date? - Why?
(L Hotel. Who did you date?)
Whatever the scandal was, the members would get a lot of news articles about them.
However, I never got a single news article about myself.
- I thought I was... - You were upset.
It really came upon me hard.
Did you have a girlfriend at that time?
- Of course, he must have. - Did you have one?
- Of course, I was dating someone. - He was dating.
- Who was it? - He was dating someone.
- What? - Tony's wife has to know.
Ji-hye is suddenly interested.
- You're still interested. - It's the first time I heard this. Really?
- Ji-hye acted like she wasn't interested. - Really?
You purposely acted like you weren't interested.
She must still have some feelings left for him.
- Of course. I was his fan. - Right. You liked him a lot that time.
You felt inferior because there weren't' any news about you.
I thought I was the most unpopular member in H.O.T.
- The other members' scandals were publicized. - I was honestly sad.
I thought Lee Jae-won and I were always fighting for fourth and fifth place.
One day, we wrote songs on our own for the first time.
- We met up. - Right.
Each of us would let the others listen to the their songs.
When Lee Jae-won turned on his music...
- It was "You Got Gun." - Right.
- The song was so good. From that point on... - Confidence...
- I'm fifth place. - Yes, I was definitely fifth place.
(I'm definitely fifth place.)
Lee Jae-won can write songs, but you weren't able to do anything.
- Each member has a talent, but... - Everyone.
I realized that I didn't have any talent.
From that point on, I made a resolution.
I'll support all the other members.
- Why do you say that? - I will always...
- His inferiority complex was really great. - It's the past now.
I had given up.
However, that's definitely not true.
If you look at the popularity level,
I was the actual number one.
- That's... - Isn't it uncomfortable for you to say that yourself?
- It's not. It's a good thing. - Right.
- Right. I acknowledge that. - It's true.
Was Kang-ta after Hee-jun?
- Around 50 out of 100 fans were mine. - Really?
- Tony was number two. - He was next after you?
- There wasn't much difference between third, fourth and fifth. - Really?
Excuse me? Are you saying that because you want the other members to hear this?
(Did you say that on purpose?)
However, I only knew Hee-jun as well.
Tony is being humble.
- I'm not. I'm serious. - As for popularity...
We would always count our fan letters.
Being fifth place in H.O.T. meant...
that you were probably the fifth most popular person in Korea.
- My goodness. - You don't need to console them that much.
- You don't need to console them that much. - Is this "Healing Camp?"
Why is he saying these things?
- Why is he saying these things? - Seriously...
- He... - No...
- You were fifth place. - He was second place.
- I was second place. - You were fifth place.
- You... - Don't point your finger at me.
- Fifth place is... - What are you doing? Hey.
- Why are you yelling at Gu-ra? - Why are you yelling at me?
Why are you yelling at me?
(The studio is filled with warmth despite the yelling.)
At that time, Gook-jin was our celebrity.
- Don't say that. - What's wrong with you?
- We... Are we shooting "Healing Camp?" - I'm serious.
- I went to M Broadcast Company. - Is it Chuseok today?
- I saw you standing... - Isn't it really hot?
- I went there and greeted you. - Irene doesn't know anyone.
She doesn't know anyone you're talking about.
You can learn today.
(This is a senior's authority.)
At that time, Gook-jin was a total star.
- He was awesome. - He was number one for 10 years.
Right? He was the best.
- All right. - How heartwarming.
- It was great. - It's very heartwarming.
We didn't even hear Tony's story to the end.
It's really hard to talk here. When I'm talking about something...
They conclude it and move on to the next topic.
(He realizes towards the end of the shooting.)
Tony can tell if an idol group member...
is in a relationship just by looking at their gestures during performance.
- My goodness. - When they sing on stage...
Kyu-hyun may know as well.
If an idol group member is singing on stage and sees the girlfriend or boyfriend,
- they will do gestures that they don't do often. - What, for instance?
For instance, usually, they would just dance normally like this.
However, they would do something like this.
They would make a heart.
If they do that, you can be suspicious of them.
- However, that's an old-fashioned approach. - That's an old-fashioned way.
- These days, they don't do that. They have social media. - Really?
- Why would they need to do that on stage? - Fans can catch minute details.
- The fans keep taking pictures. - Kyu-hyun, you never did it before?
I never did it before.
- He wouldn't say even if he did. - Did you do it while singing "At Gwanghwamun?"
He's a lock. He would never reveal his secrets.
He goes overseas and visits residential pensions.
(He goes overseas and visits residential pensions.)
- Residential pensions. - What in the world?
He says he uses Airbnb.
- I'll be a residential pension idol. - Residential pension idol.
(He's a residential pension idol from today.)
- What were we talking about? - You can tell from their gestures.
Why do you always interrupt my question and make it like this?
- You.. He's going to get inferiority complex again. - It's because I'm not funny.
He thinks he's not funny.
- Gu-ra cut him off. - When I'm talking, I find the conversation...
- heading somewhere else. - You cut him off, saying he was old-fashioned.
It's because... Things like this...
- These are gestures from the past. - That's old-fashioned.
- That's from 10 years ago... - I'm old. What else can I do?
- I... - I'm not.
- Irene. - Yes?
- Seriously... - I eat spaghetti and make small hearts.
- I eat vongole. - Me too.
- My goodness. - Isn't it...
- There are indirect gestures rather than direct gestures. - They may wink.
Right. They may slightly wink...
or flip their shirt when it flaps in the wind.
- This is for that special someone. They won't do it often. - Something unplanned.
They don't do it often, but it's for that special someone.
- You're most hilarious now. - That was funny.
You've got some wit.
(He coincidentally made everyone laugh.)
- I think... - It's...
- it's not a very funny story. However, we dedicated some time for him. - It's...
It's supposed to be a funny story.
I think I need some more time.
- Tony... - He...
- He wanted to be funny... - It's been a while since I've been in a place like this.
- No... - Please open up his blood vessels.
Something is blocking it. It's very hard.
(He feels uncomfortable.)
- Irene, you don't go online? - Yes.
- You didn't know there was a rumor that you and Park Bo-gum were dating. - Really?
Why would there suddenly be a rumor that you were dating Park Bo-gum?
No, there were a lot... She was a host together with him...
- at a music program. - You were a host with Park Bo-gum?
- They had good teamwork. - However, you didn't know about the rumor at all?
I don't think there were any rumors of us dating.
- She must really not know. - There was.
- You live a comfortable life. - Irene...
(She's an idol who doesn't need to worry about scandals.)
There's a fan fiction of Irene and Park Bo-gum.
My goodness. Who wrote it?
Irene doesn't know at all.
There are articles like, "Who's Speaking the Truth, Irene or Park Bo-gum?"
Park Bo-gum is known to have a good reputation.
When our scriptwriter asked Irene to say some good things about him,
He eats well.
(It's such an innocent line.)
Do you have any moving stories about Park Bo-gum?
As you all know, he has good manners.
When there are stairs, he always holds my hand.
- He holds your hand on the stairs? - He holds your hand?
Is it that steep?
It's because I'd be wearing heels.
- I don't understand. - Is it when you're getting on stage?
- It's steep when you go onto the stage. - There are stairs there.
- Oh, it's those steps. - Right.
You must not like guys like Park Bo-gum.
In my view, she has absolutely no interest in him.
- What's your ideal type of man? - It's a warm-hearted guy.
Park Bo-gum is warm-hearted, isn't he?
- How much more warm-hearted can a man be? - He has cold hands.
Is that so?
(It's proof that his hands and feet are cold.)
Do you talk more when you're with your boyfriend?
You barely talk when you're with your boyfriend?
- Do you just stare at each other? - Did you tell him you'll be on our show?
- Did you tell him you'll be on our show? - Pardon?
Why are you being like that?
- Hey, Gook-jin. - That was a good one.
- A person shouldn't be that cruel. - For a moment,
- she almost replied. - You shouldn't be like that!
- That was on fire. - I actually wasn't trying to trick her.
(DJ of nine years, practically a master)
It's like when Kim Byung-man strikes a fish in one throw.
(It's like striking a fish in one throw.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today, we're with five people who developed strong mentalities after many trials.
- Here's the song that changes glass mentality into a tough one. - Here's the song!
First, why don't we listen to the song Tony and Hee-jun chose?
("Candy" is a song from the 1st album by H.O.T. in 1996.)
Let's see.
- Why did you choose this? - I think this was the first song by them that I heard.
"Candy."
First of all, the staff told us to sing it together.
If we sang separately, I would have sung my new song.
By telling us to sing together, they're telling me to not sing my own song.
- That's right. - You understood perfectly.
"Candy" is the song we can perform without practicing together.
That's what happened.
- How long has it been since you performed it last? - Let's listen.
- It's been a long time. - How long?
- Isn't this our first time singing together? - It's the first time in 15 years.
- Let's listen. - It makes sense.
(It's the first duet performance by them ever.)
(They had an overwhelming fan-dom.)
(They were Korea's first idol group!)
That's great.
Their dancing is well-controlled.
(It's as if they went back to the 1990s.)
They should make a comeback!
(The bodies remember the choreography.)
(The ancestor idols' dancing bring them back in time.)
Hee-jun is great.
(Watching their idols who are still cute,)
(their wives feel proud of them.)
He sings well!
(Singing Kang-ta's part. It's a great start.)
(Cute)
(The cuteness is on par with their golden age.)
(Due to their timeless cuteness,)
(her fan girl heart is revived.)
(Everyone did the power racer dance at school trips.)
(Dancing)
(Leader Moon diligently does the hammer dance.)
(The two of them fill up their missing members' absences.)
(Their wives get more excited as they remember.)
(Due to the cruel passing of time, he's out of breath.)
(Every Korean followed along to Tony's part.)
(He's more passionate because it's his own part.)
(I'll make this promise...)
(while looking at that sky.)
Wow.
(Fiery duet as if all five members were there)
It's good even with just the two of them.
We enjoyed that.
Hee-jun is the emperor of live performances.
- It's because I've been performing all this time. - Talk about Tony, too.
- He's the emperor of live singing. - Tony will develop an inferiority complex.
Compliments can even make whales dance, you know.
He's the emperor of live stages and you're the emperor of looks.
- Are you saying he can't sing? - No.
- He'll get an inferiority complex. - So, should we...
- just look at him? - He has a good look. It's a great look.
You don't like these consolations, right?
I do feel uncomfortable.
This time, let's hear the song Yu-ri chose.
(What song did Seo Yu-ri choose?)
Really?
You're going to sing this live?
I'm grateful.
This time, a woman will sing it!
- It won't be easy. - Can you help me?
I can't even help myself.
- Shall we help her? - It'd be nice for them to do it.
- Help if you can. - Then we'll be your back dancers.
- We'll be your back dancers. - My life is really a success.
- I really did. - You succeeded.
- She's a fan of H.O.T., and now H.O.T. will dance behind her. - Exactly.
- Isn't it the first time the two of us danced together? - Exactly.
- What do I do? I've succeeded. - Let's listen. This is historic.
- We've never danced for someone, right? - Here's "We Are the Future" by Seo Yu-ri.
Please prepare a stretcher for me.
I think I'll be really tired.
(Kang-ta's wife and the idols begin.)
(She transformed into the main vocalist.)
(We all know that angular dance.)
(There are stable low kicks and...)
(angry high kicks of fury for her embarrassing past.)
This is driving me insane.
(They're stable but she's shaking.)
Yu-ri is so crazy.
(She seems to be following this move.)
(In a small way, she reenacts it.)
(She knows the moves to stop time from passing.)
That's great!
(She's ready.)
(They're excited.)
(Hey, everybody. Look at me.)
(Alert eyes)
(It seems like she'll hit you if you don't look.)
(Laughing)
(It's a fantastic crossover by the siblings.)
(The future is mine.)
(Waving)
(The two middle-aged men are almost out of strength.)
(Meanwhile, she lost her sense of direction.)
(Huffing and puffing)
(As days pass by one by one,)
(we're getting tired...)
(and feel like we'll fall.)
(They get lower, carrying the weight of time.)
Why does she have to sit like that?
(Why did you sit like that?)
(Squirming)
(Teamwork falls apart with two dancers on the side.)
We are the future!
(The dancers are so tired they can barely walk.)
- She really succeeded in life. - Thank you for your hard work.
I think I danced too much today.
Your face became slimmer.
You lost even more weight today.
Dancing with Tony for the first time in a while,
- I was reminded of the past. - What about me?
- Pardon? - I danced, too.
It's time for you to shut up!
(He's kidding.)
Today was our Tough Mentality Special.
The five of you endured cruel teasing and questions.
We could really tell that you have tough mentalities.
Lastly, we've prepared the Top Level Tough Mentality Test.
- If you can endure this too, you are tough mentality champions. - There's more?
I actually don't have a tough mentality.
I have a glass-like mentality.
People keep saying I'm a monk so I feel like I just have to endure.
I've lived like that for the past 15 years.
- This last test must be a really hard one. - Yu-ri is my name. It's okay.
Shut up!
He did say it's the last test.
- You're ready, right? Let's go. - Let's listen together.
What is it?
- What is it? - It must be a really hard one.
- Oh, no! - Look carefully.
It's fine though.
- She looks sexy. - She looks fine.
- There's a certain aura. - Who are you?
- Isn't that Lee Hwi-jae? - No, it's not.
- She looks a bit like... - She doesn't have eyebrows.
You looked matured when you were young.
- You look pretty. - How did you find this?
When was this?
- It was my graduation picture for middle school. - It was in middle school.
- It looks good. - The picture made me look like a miscreant.
My eyebrows look really thin, right?
Back then, they shaved your eyebrows when you went to a beauty salon.
But I had recently gone around the time for graduation pictures.
I had them shaved recently.
The fact that she's explaining shows she doesn't have tough mentality yet.
- She wavered a bit. - It's all right.
This time, it's Tony An.
- Pardon? - Who is that?
- Isn't this that guy? - This was when we debuted.
Isn't it that guy, Mighty Mouth's Shorry J?
(Isn't he Mighty Mouth's Shorry J?)
- Next, it's him. - Here it is in 1, 2 and 3.
It's Hee-jun.
Come on.
I thought this was the lieutenant colonel.
I said I have a glass-like mentality!
Did you complete your military service as a lieutenant colonel!
- This time, it's Yu-ri. - What is it?
With you, why is it always photos like this?
Doesn't she look like someone from a shrine?
- How much more do we have to make fun of you? - Isn't it a bit scary?
- She looks like she came out of a well. - Why are you like this?
- Why are you... - She looks like a Japanese schoolgirl.
- It's because she was a cosplay mania. - How many pictures like this are there?
- One is followed by another. - I mean really!
(Here are more of them.)
- She looks cute though. - Are there any for Irene?
- Yes, there is. - There's one for Irene?
- There's one for Irene? - There's a picture for Irene?
- But she's like a new sprout. - I saw this for the first time today.
She is unshaken by this though.
- What is this? - Come on, she looks pretty!
- Of course. - SM Entertainment, aren't you being too harsh?
- This is so unfair! - Do only SM Entertainment artists get to have good photos?
- My junior doesn't disappoint. - No wonder. She looked very confident.
- Okay. Anyway, thank you for today. - Yes.
We will say good-bye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you next week.)
