("The True Story of Ah Q" written by a famous Chinese author, Lu Xun)
Ah Q lost all his money through gambling.
Then, he slapped himself in regrets.
But then he felt better
because it felt as if he was hitting someone else.
People called it "Mental victory".
"Mental Victory" means that even if you didn't win,
you rationalize yourself that you did win.
(The world where only the #1 survives)
(The "look back again" project)
(Fire up the Mental Victory Competition)
(The first Winner of Mental Victory)
(Ask us Anything's Mental Victory Competition)
If you get your mind straight, you'll survive in a lion's den.
In this hard life,
for those who survive with their mental skills,
the special series of
Mental Victory Competition.
(The first Winner of Mental Victory is lightening up the floor)
Sang-min,
congratulations on getting your own spot.
It's pretty much his spot if he stayed on this show for two weeks.
The whole point of this program,
goes along very well with Lee Sang-min. (Went through hardships)
Your apparel looks very special today.
Your honorable judge,
I'm the attorney from Pacific Lawfirm,
Attorney Kim.
- Attorney Kim. - I'm Attorney poop.
I'm Attorney poop.
(Sigh)
That's the final.
I'm the head administrator.
- I see. - Just let them be.
They prepared this scene for 30 minutes in the waiting room.
Do you know what he told me?
We even have a fad phrase prepared
if you ask us what it is.
- What question? - Ask us if we have arguments.
Then, attorneys,
do you have arguments prepared?
Of course we do.
What the...
- Your honor. - What is this? (Embarrassed)
I hate this.
(At times like this, I will mentally win myself)
- Of course I do. - Can I switch teams?
While everyone is shocked by the fad phrase,
Min Kyung-hoon's like
"I like that".
Of course we do.
(Laughing by himself)
Your honor.
I like that.
That's good.
- How about you join and when he says do you have any arguments? - Of course.
Do you have any arguments?
Of course I do.
This is good.
(He has good taste)
Then Kyung-hoon and I'll switch next week.
Because I want to be with Sang-min. (Bad imitation)
(Laughing internally)
I'm sorry, he practiced this for 30 minutes too.
(Hee-chul still has a lot to learn)
Today you need to watch out for the time.
We have a guest here that's very sensitive to recording time.
We agreed upon a 3 hour recording.
(Speechless) So within 3 hours...
Is that possible?
We filmed for 12 hours last week.
3 hours of filming this week?
Let's talk after having the guest out.
We need to bring him out first. (Totally agree)
Let's talk after having him seated.
The Mental Victory Competition.
MVC.
- What? - Let's bring out the two participants.
Please come out.
Please step forward.
(A big welcome)
(The woodpecker of variety, Kim Kyung-sik)
(The spotted butterfly of variety, Kim Heung-gook)
(The expert of imitation)
(Saying hello to their own attorneys)
We are your attorneys for today.
Trust, hope and love.
We're from Pacific Law Group.
(A sudden imitation)
(Satisfied)
The participants for the 2nd episode of Mental Victory Competition,
have entered.
Please introduce yourselves.
Nice to meet you.
I'm the president of Korea Singers Association.
(Very brief but strong introduction)
No need for a long introduction.
- Such a funny introduction. - Yes.
Then next.
Nice to meet you.
I was actually a singer too.
I'm not sure if you know, but I'm Kim Kyung-sik from Tin Tin Five.
He's not a member. (Korea Singers Association)
What do you mean?
He didn't sign up as a member.
Yes, I did.
I am.
If you don't pay the annual membership fee
you're out.
I heard that you didn't feel comfortable
after finding out who the other participant was.
I wasn't going to come.
Why? Because of me?
Are you really asking me that?
Let's be straightforward and talk about it.
- What didn't you like? - It was because,
the writer for the program called me,
I thought I was the only guest on the show
and I wanted to do my best here at "Ask us anything".
But all of a sudden she asked me
how I feel about doing the show with Kim Kyung-sik.
So I told her I don't feel good.
(Dizzy)
And that I won't go out this week and go next week.
It's because we separated from a radio program on bad terms.
Excuse me Mr. President,
we really need to set things straight
about that separating on bad terms part. (Can't hear)
(Very hot from the beginning) I'm very upset.
It seems like there's much to talk about.
Let's give them some time to talk.
Firstly, do you like your attorneys Soo-geun, Hee-chul and Young-chul?
I like Lee Soo-guen.
- Why? - Because we play soccer together on the weekend.
I see.
You both like soccer.
What about Kim Hee-chul?
Isn't he a member of Super Junior?
He's a very nice young lad.
Thank you. (Imitating Heung-guk)
(Zoning out)
Truthfully, Young-chul's the problem.
Why me?
I didn't really like Young-chul.
But after watching him on "Real Men", I changed my mind.
He's incredible.
- Because I'm under you in Marine Corps? - You're a honorable Marine Corps.
So now we looked into the relationship of their team.
Kyung-sik and I'm the same age.
We haven't done any programs together recently.
(Very happy that Kyung-sik is shocked)
We are friends but a bit distant.
It's not the first time you're seeing each other, right?
Aren't you the same agency?
- Aren't you in SM? - Yeah, that's right.
I recently found out.
(Funny but sad...)
I'm sorry but...
I thought SM kicked him out.
Excuse me.
They didn't kick me out.
- I've been with them since 1996. - So what?
They don't care for you.
Why doesn't Soo-man help or care for you?
he's doing his best.
(It's not going as I had hoped)
(I'm sorry, sir)
How's the relationship between you and the attorneys?
I thought this was my first time seeing Seo Jang-hoon, but...
A long time ago, about 20 years ago,
- in front of a night club... - Wait... (Hit)
- We were all young back then so, yeah... - Of course.
- I think it's my first time seeing him. - Yes.
Mr. Singer President, you know Min Kyung-hoon, right?
Are you the host?
(Laughing so hard)
He must really have a lot against me.
Kyung-hoon,
so you're enrolled in the Singer's Association too?
I'm actually not enrolled in the Singer Association.
What then? (What did you say?)
Not all singers are enrolled as a member.
- The President is sitting here. - But,
I really don't know what there is if you enroll,
and truthfully, I don't know what he exactly does.
It's people like him that the Association cannot advance forward.
What is there to advance when I don't know what it is?
He has absolutely no interest.
What's there to know about when the membership fee is $180 not even $1800.
Why do I need to pay $180?
(hahaha)
Why do I need to pay?
I won't accept him if he enrolls.
(Puzzled)
- I would like to, but... - I'm going to send out a mass text.
Buzz is not a singer!
(Outrage) But what does... Oh, it's okay, we're a band.
What I'm worried about is,
if the President,
when a new singer who doesn't know anything asks him
what is the Singer Association?
But he says, we don't need someone like you.
I won't accept you even if you enroll.
Sang-min, you need to take a look at his previous actions.
His eyes wide open like that to me.
(Wider eyes because he's shocked) He said, "what do you guys do there?"
His face just looks like that.
Sir,
Buzz has a fan club of 200,000.
(Frozen)
I'll give you a business card, call me.
Let's reconcile.
Shake hands.
I didn't bring my business cards, but...
(Personally writing his number)
So will you accept, if I enroll?
Of course, I'll pay for your membership fee too.
(Saved $180 and joined the Association) (Killed two birds with one stone)
We need to reconcile by talking it out.
Personally, I'm a bit worried right now.
I know Heung-guk personally,
and he can't handle long periods of filming.
Yes.
How long are we filming?
It was about 12 hours last week.
I'm leaving.
No, no, wait...
It was 12 hours because it was the first recording.
(Exploding rage)
12 hours of filming will kill a person.
- It'll be 6 hours, 6 hours. - 6 hours?
- 6 hours is long too. - 4 hours, 4 hours.
Okay, 4 hours is okay.
3 hours sounds great.
Another thing that I'm worried about is,
when I used to do a program with him,
the days that he wears his sunglasses
there's a reason.
When other people are talking,
no one knows whether he's sleeping or not.
(Right on point)
Because,
when he wears his sunglasses,
it means that he's very tired today,
and he may fall asleep
Seo Jang-hoon.
Yes?
We have break times, right?
Then, since this is an opening,
could you take off your glasses?
Of course, if the MC tells you to take it off.
This is my status.
(Happy no-makeup Mr. President)
Kim Heung-guk survived the past 30 years just with "Spotted Butterfly" song.
And Kim Kyung-sik, who survived the past 20 years with woodpecker imitation.
They both survived until now with their sudden fame and mentality.
Since we're talking about it, do the woodpecker.
As the opening ceremony.
That' all you have in your life.
All he has is the spotted butterfly.
Hey, the value is way different.
How much will they give him for this?
- I even shot a commercial with that. - What?
A commercial.
Yeah, you do that.
The thing I'm worried about while hosting is,
they're not acting like they're on bad terms,
but they're really on bad terms.
So I really don't know what to...
My heart's beating so fast.
Something big must've happened.
People who knew them
called them
hair and Jerry because of their friendship.
Let's slowly discover what happened to their relationship.
Then let's begin the game "up and down".
An individual will pop up on the monitor.
If you believe that the person in the screen
is above you, do a thumbs up.
If you believe they are below you,
then put a thumbs down.
Heung-guk,
up means that the person in the screen is better than you.
- down means... (Tsk tsk)
Our client has an objection.
Are you attacking his ability?
No, of course not.
Sang-min has been dormant for so long,
he doesn't have that sense, so please understand him.
- I see. - Alright.
We'll understand him.
We'll understand that he has no taste.
Then, participant Kim Heung-guk will go first.
(Kim Kyung-sik)
Seriously...
Why is he up there?
(Sigh)
Down.
This crazy bastard.
(Lee Bong-won) Down!
Everyone's a down.
(Lee Gae-in) He's an up.
(Joo Byung-jin) He's the same as me.
(You must choose up or down)
Then I must up.
(Next is MC Ho-dong)
What is this? Why's the MC here?
But, down.
(In his face)
You did a thumbs down as soon as you saw Kim Kyung-sik.
Why?
Our radio was very fun and it was great.
But I had to resign and stop.
I thought he would quit with me.
But he said "I have to stay longer".
So I said "you do you then".
Nothing else. Just that.
Absolutely no loyalty.
(2nd explosion warning)
We'll ask you about that later.
Didn't we agree that we'll talk about this later?
Then what about Lee Bong-won?
Why down?
Lee Bong-won loves drinking way too much,
so I asked him why he was drinking so much,
when Park Mi-sun is having such a hard time because of you.
I saw that Park Mi-sun did an interview before
that she would rather have you as a husband than Lee Bong-won.
She's an amazing woman.
The fact that she lives with Lee Bong-won is incredible.
- She already had a mental victory. - Of course.
Then truthfully, just by looks.
Who is better? Lee Bong-won or you?
We're pretty much the same,
but I'm better than him.
He's a mold.
(A long lost nickname revives. "Mold")
You did a down for me.
I heard that during your interview before filming,
- you said that you personally didn't like me? - Yes.
Wow.
So you agree with all of us.
Hee-chul,
you got so much better.
This is how you do it.
So why don't you like me?
- Why? - Kang Ho-dong
used to be a wrestler.
But he killed all the celebrities after he came into this field.
That's why I don't like him.
Shouldn't he have some conscience?
- He should've kept his line. - Yes.
You know there was a situation before.
If it wasn't for that situation,
he would've taken over all variety shows.
It's a relief that someone caught him.
(Thank you for bringing him down) (The president of Singer Association)
There's a legendary saying that
if a program isn't working out so well,
bring in Kim Heung-guk.
Who said that?
Everyone knows that.
When a program is stuck,
release it with Kim Heung-guk.
Yes.
Are you still doing Star King?
Yes, I am.
Just tidy it up and only do JTBC.
He's already doing 3 programs in JTBC.
See? That's why he must quit Star King.
That's right.
There's no one to replace him with.
I'll do it.
(Greedy for shows)
The filming for that show is very long. Would that be okay?
I'll go and make it short.
(Full of variety cheer)
But I think this generation wants Kang Ho-dong.
(Heung-guk is playing hard to get with Ho-dong)
And of course,
you are my role model.
This kind of thing is what changed about him.
You can feel that he changed?
Because someone drained him a bit.
(So he became nicer)
Let's meet the next set of people.
(Lee Kyung-kyu) Down!
(Kim Gu-ra) Up.
(An Jung-hwan) We do a program together these days. Up.
He's a soccer maniac.
(Insooni) What's the matter today?
She ran against me for the Singer Association presidency.
- What happens if this goes out in public? - That's totally fine.
This is all for fun.
Up.
I let it go... What is this?
(Shocked by a seagull)
You're known to be a seagull.
Down.
You did a thumbs down for Lee Kyung-kyu.
These days,
who does he think he is?
As if he's the owner of variety shows,
he has people under him and makes his clans.
It doesn't look good.
(Sweating) It's not good.
Isn't he one of them?
- Do you feel offended? - Just a bit uncomfortable.
Truthfully, not much time has passed, but...
I believe... (Picking up water)
Is this yours?
Yes, it is.
(Mess)
(Soo-geun found it for him)
Even looking for water is funny.
(He is indeed the plunger of variety)
Why down for a seagull?
I'm sick of this seagull life.
- How long? - It's been about 13 years.
One morning,
a flock of seagulls flew above me.
They were flying in a flock, and...
I heard you flew with them once.
(Puzzled)
Thinking that you were a seagull.
(You don't even understand me)
What would you say to a seagull?
Seagull,
you spread out your wings so comfortably.
While I'm having such a hard time sending living expenses abroad.
(An emotional ending?)
Now it's time for Kim Kyung-sik's up and down.
(Preparing to nap right away) It's nap time on this end.
(Fixing his posture)
(Comfortable)
We'll be okay with you napping,
but it's not included in your filming time.
(Shocked)
(He made a brighter atmosphere with his sleeping comedy)
I won't sleep.
Kim Kyung-sik will begin now.
(Kim Heung-guk)
- Down. - Down.
(Getting thirsty) (Gulp gulp)
(Kim Saeng-min) Up.
(Park Sung-ho) Down.
(Park Myung-su) Down.
(Kang Ho-dong) Up.
(Unpredicted)
That's it for now.
That was quick.
As soon as you began,
you did a thumbs down for Kim Heung-guk.
I did so well to Kim Heung-guk.
I even went to his house before a live show.
I live in Mapo but I went to Seocho for him
and even asked him to go together.
I even went to the spa with him because
his family is overseas and he may be lonely.
We went in the sauna together.
You gave him your heart but you were disappointed.
I'm a bit disappointed in him.
That's why it's a down? - Yes.
Could you please talk quietly?
He's sleeping.
(In deep sleep)
After being with him for so long,
I can see that he tries. He just never got a chance.
Are you complimenting me?
Why am I talking?
He doesn't even know.
I believe you were sleep talking
but it fit into the conversation.
I'm sorry, I just woke up.
- Please, go back to sleep. - Sorry, I'll go back to sleep.
(Back to dreamland)
- What about Kang Ho-dong? - Of course you're an up.
I heard that you said that you'll steal his spot here.
I see your prior interview, and...
This is why he never gets a chance.
He needs to first make sense.
Just ask to get a spot in that corner over there.
Go to sleep.
Yeah, why do I keep waking up?
(Fell asleep real fast) He's so good at acting like he's sleeping.
- It was a mistake. - What?
It was a mistake.
There are mistakes you can make and not make.
How dare you?
I realize deep into my bones that I was wrong after seeing your face.
Why did I say that?
Ho-dong, you know my personality.
So it was a misunderstanding.
I was just trying to be funny,
but I don't need that.
- You know how I feel, right? - Yes (Satisfied)
Let's meet our next set of people.
(Shin Dong-yeop) Up.
Up.
Kim Gu-ra.
(Kim Gu-ra) (Pondering a bit) Down.
(Shin Jeong-hwan) Up.
(Kim Hee-chul) Up.
(Yoon Jung-su) Down.
So now we're done with the selections.
You didn't even think about it and did a thumbs up for Shin Jeong-hwan.
He's a genius.
- How? - He has that sense.
He was in Lula but then went to the army.
After his service in the army,
we met at a club.
At that time, he grabbed onto me and cried asking what to do?
So I comforted him.
(After the warm comfort, he revived as Country Ggo Ggo)
I made that happen.
Lee Sang-min you made that?
Yes, we signed to pay for Tak Jae-hoon's credit card bills,
They didn't sign at first.
- Tak Jae-hoon? - Yes.
His credit card bills kept increasing,
so he contacted me to sign the contract.
- So you made the payment? - Yes, I did.
You did an up for Shin Dong-yeop,
but did a down for Kim Gu-ra.
Yes, when I was well off at that time,
Him, Yeom Byung-hwan
and Ji Sang-ryeol, the three of them had an Incheon group.
I went all the way to Incheon to buy them a drink.
And it wasn't just once or twice.
- Not just once or twice. - Yes, of course.
I have always cheered for Kim Gu-ra.
You were interested in him.
After Kim Gu-ra became a star,
he hasn't contacted me at all.
It was a bit upsetting and disappointing.
I'll let him know to call you when I meet him.
He doesn't respond.
I'll tell him to respond, gosh.
Then, how about Yoon Jung-su?
I'm a bit disappointed in Yun Jung-su.
- Down. - What?
My father even signed as a guarantor for him.
So that he could buy a car.
- I can see why he could be disappointed. - Yeah, he could be disappointed.
I didn't know about this back then.
I found out later.
He's very good to adults.
I acknowledge him for that.
But the thing I'm personally disappointed in him is
when I used to do the radio with Heung-guk and he left,
and I was doing it alone,
but he came along and I had to come down.
I had to step down from a radio later on,
and I asked who would replace me,
and it was Yoon Jung-su again.
Again.
I did radio twice, and both times it was him.
I don't know how to explain this...
Hey, think about how this is all karma.
What did I do wrong?
Why do you have so many people you're disappointed at?
My life isn't working out so well.
I want to grab onto every excuse.
Up and down is indeed about your opinion,
but what's important is (Everyone attention)
I'm sorry, but excuse me.
Can't you send your text message faster?
He's text messaging...
- It's not my time. - It's because his phone is dark.
(Complete darkness) Please understand.
You could take the glasses off.
We'll continue after a 5 minute break.
(Smile)
We'll continue after a 5 minute break.
5 minute break.
Ask us Anything's Mental Victory Competition.
I heard that something happened in the bathroom?
Heung-guk and Min Kyung-hoon met each other in the bathroom,
and he was telling Min Kyung-hoon
to just go stronger on him,
and that it was okay.
I'll accept everything.
(Nod) (Nod)
He has such a big heart.
He acts all tough, but in reality...
As the president, I shouldn't treat Buzz like that.
All the members would say to care for him.
Of course, sir.
Even if he comes out strong to you,
- as a president you should've let him get on you. - Of course.
Truthfully,
it's because he' sick right now.
It's because he needs love and attention.
So to be exact,
right now he's not at his right mind.
This is a very real and true show.
I won't accept you!
He acts like that and that's why he's here.
We have to give him love and attention.
Sang-min, I won't accept you either.
What he means by sick is that,
his heart hurts from being lonely.
He's sensitive.
I'm okay, since I'll leave later.
Could you let the attorneys talk for you
when the argument is against you.
Soo-geun,
it hasn't been long since you came back on show, right?
Come at me more, more.
- He will help you at need. - Come at me more.
Let's begin the competition.
Kim Kyung-sik will go first and attack
Kim Heung-guk.
We will begin Black History.
Kim Heung-guk right now needs love and attention.
He's been living separated from his family for 13 years.
Yes, he even acknowledged that.
For 13 years he ate alone,
slept alone,
washed alone,
and got dressed alone...
It's been about 4 years for you, right?
(Flinch)
You're attacking your own team now?
- No, it's to depict the deep scars of the... - Yes, it's been about 4 years.
It's been about 10 years for me.
It's a very hard thing to lawfully separate,
but for Kim Heung-guk, it's literally separation.
After about 5 years,
he should've asked his family to come back home to be together,
but he's been like that for 13 years.
His mental status right now,
needs about 59 weeks of treatment.
That's what makes him the winner of Mental Victory.
He's lonely, but who isn't lonely here?
We're all lonely.
But he enjoys that loneliness.
Doesn't he go drinking every day?
Everyday he goes drinking,
meets up with friends and then goes to play soccer.
Truthfully...
Wait, wait...
Who can live in this dream-like life?
Right?
Can't I change my attorney?
- You may not. - I hired the wrong attorney.
You may not today.
I'll go along with you.
It was said multiple side on other shows as well,
but he eats outside starting breakfast.
He eats out all three meals.
Try eating outside for 13 years.
Think about how his insides are.
The other side is representing me.
For 13 years, he went out to eat starting breakfast.
Do you guys know how that feels?
Kim Heung-guk...
If you didn't eat a home-cooked meal in 13 years,
his insides are probably rotten.
Hey, what did you say?
- Home-cooked meal... - My insides are rotten?
I'm saying you didn't eat a home-cooked meal that much.
He may be laughing on the outside,
but he's rotting on the inside.
Seo Jang-hoon's doing good. (Touched)
So he needs some healing time.
I'm the trustworthy attorney from Pacific law group.
He is already the winner of Mental Victory
just from the fact that he lived alone for 13 years.
Plus, there are many married men here,
once or twice a year, the wives go over to their parent's house.
You just get happy for no reason.
Kang Ho-dong, Kim Kyung-sik, isn't that right?
- That's right. - However,
my client here,
he's been away from his wife for 13 years. 13 years.
13 years.
Are you saying that to help me?
Kyung-sik, I'm sorry, but can't you switch seats with me?
(Satisfied by his attorneys)
There's a need for a switch in attorneys.
- You don't like us that much? - Who don't you like the most?
That man over there.
(Embarrassed)
Kim Heung-guk doesn't know how to love himself.
Even when he met me,
he only talks about his daughter.
My daughter is a great singer.
He sets himself back and only talks about his family.
They're very good at variety shows.
No, no.
He has a bigger family.
- He is the leader of Korea Singer Association. - That's right.
I say this for the first time here,
but my wife doesn't like that.
Just stay put.
I can't do this either.
When we help him, he should say that's right.
But he says, no don’t say that, my wife doesn't like that.
What're we supposed to say?
This isn't something to laugh about.
I can't talk anymore.
I'll buy you Kimbap.
What?
Did you hear that?
I said I can't take this anymore and
he says he'll buy me kimbap.
At this rate,
I think we pretty much won this attack.
They can't even represent their own client.
No, the fact that he holds in the loneliness
and doesn't go back with his family,
it means that he already won.
That' right, that's totally correct.
Then, Kim Heung-guk's team will now attack Kim Kyung-sik.
I actually came out today to make Kim Kyung-sik fall.
(Speechless)
The incident with the radio that we kept mentioning.
Is that finally revealing?
No need to have long speeches
when you have evidence.
Do you remember this picture?
This picture.
(Dizzy)
Even the actual person is laughing.
You can tell by the face.
It seems like he's being picky with his food.
Seems like he's having it hard.
I had a hard time in the scorching sun that time.
Some day about 5 years ago,
from the couple that was known as Hair and Jerry,
Kim Heung-guk suddenly left the radio show.
- More like fired. - Yes.
He couldn't take the unfair treatment,
and while he was performing a 1-man protest,
what were you doing?
Wow.
This kind of attorney is the one I'm looking for.
(The best attorney)
You were laughing and enjoying your radio show
with the substituted partner Won Mi-yeon.
I was laughing on the outside,
but it hurt on the inside.
In any case,
if the partner that you were with was doing a 1-man protest,
you should've at least asked for a bit of a break.
That's right!
That's exactly right!
So that he can live on by himself...
That's right!
Such a disloyal act.
Such a disloyal act cannot be tolerated.
He doesn't have what it takes to be the winner of Mental Victory.
He needs to be kicked off the show.
Excuse me.
Can you stare at him right in his eyes?
- Of course I can. - Go on.
I won't.
No point in looking at him.
For example, think of it this way.
Kyung-hoon, if I get cut from the show,
will you quit with me?
No.
This is what I'm talking about.
Wait a minute!
I think you're a bit scarred.
Stay put, stay put.
No.
Let's take a look at the screen.
- Which screen? - The screen.
Where?
What is this?
That's the Kakao Profile of Kim Kyung-sik.
Wake up Kyung-sik.
You pay rent.
This is right now.
Isn't this bad for him?
He pays rent.
- Kim Kyung-sik... - You shouldn't show such things.
Why're you talking about this?
He pays monthly rent.
Plus, he has two kids.
He switched to the annual contract, no?
It's half and half.
- If he cares... - Why're we talking about this?
If you're helping me, you shouldn't talk about this.
If you think about the crying kids at home...
They weren't crying.
Kids cry all the time.
They weren't sad
but they were just crying because kids cry all the time.
I'm just exaggerating.
Kim Kyung-sik couldn't quit because he had to think about that.
Seo Jang-hoon, you can't say such things
because you have a building of your own.
You shouldn't say it like that. I thought you were nice.
You shouldn't talk like that.
What did I say?
I told you he wouldn't like it if I said this.
I thought he was a good lad,
but after today, I don't think so.
After this program ends,
- just accept whatever he says. - Yes.
What do you think a collaboration is?
It's tighter than husband and wife.
People say your tongue can make you or break you.
If Kim Kyung-sik was to at least say while having a drink,
"should I quit with you?"
- this kind of saying. - That's right.
Kim Heung-guk wouldn't have said "yes, quit".
Thank you for your words but, let's just go against it.
But he didn't even say any comforting words.
Wouldn't a person in their right mind, say this?
That's right.
- He didn't even say one thing? - No, not at all.
Yes, I did.
What'd you say?
I asked you, what should I do?
So we were there with others and discussed about the situation.
I'm not talking about that.
I called you out for a drink in front of MBC.
At that time too, I asked you, what should I do?
Why ask me?
You should've said so yourself,
I'll quit too.
This is all I wanted to hear. (Everyone is just an audience)
I would've said, no, you have a family of your own.
You just go on.
But, you said, I believe I need to stay.
I'm having hardships and... Where're you going?
You were so good at representing yourself.
Then let's leave together.
(His instinct to leave made him forget about the argument)
Kim Heung-guk, please take your seat.
Let me just say one thing.
One second.
Kim Kyung-sik is not in a position
where he can go and find something new to do.
At the time. (Just got punched)
Are you dragging him down? (Agree)
No, I'm just realistically talking.
If he wasn't in his right mind,
he wouldn't have thought again, and said,
"You're not doing it? Then I wont' either."
This is an act of a person out of their mind.
It's not that I don't understand his situation.
It was serious back then.
I may be laughing now,
but it was very serious back then.
- We understand. - It was very serious then,
but as a loving partner,
"can't I go with you?"
"I'll quit with you"
then I would've told him "no, you need to think about your family".
But he said, I'm sorry,
but I'm having it hard...
Fine then, whatever.
He wasn't like that back then.
- At that time... - If you keep splitting hairs like this,
you won't be able to come back to shows.
(His true feelings)
No, the situation was,
I really wanted to continue the radio,
and the relationship between us was wonderful.
If not, why would I have gone...
Should I say something worse?
It wasn't you to begin with.
I sat there when they were auditioning this woman partner,
and all of them, I... I shouldn't say this.
But you chose me.
The producer was the one who asked me a favor
because he felt bad for you.
(Mental fatigue)
(The more they talk about it, the situation is getting worse)
I was crying at that time.
While I was crying, I told him
I'm really sorry,
but I can't help but think of my family.
Please understand me.
That's right, you should've said it like that!
That's how I said it! I cried.
No, you didn't cry.
You just made a sad face. (Might die from stress)
A pitiful face.
It's a relief that I didn't punch him.
(Knock down)
- We don't know. - As the judge,
I will ask.
If they ask Hair and Jerry to come back for a radio show,
and an offer is given,
will you do it or not?
I'll do it with Park Mi-sun.
I would do it.
- With Heung-guk? - Yes, with Heung-guk.
It's too late.
I felt really bad and it hurt me.
Because there was that whole loyalty towards him,
but there was also a promise to my family.
I remember talking to him while I was crying,
but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
I thought that was a gesture of understanding.
So I just thanked him,
and even after we were done,
I always sent him a text during the holidays.
I'm actually a bit surprised about
how he still has feelings left against me.
- But I always felt the same way towards him. - No, no, but...
I know, as time passed,
I know that you feel sorry to me,
but I just couldn't respond.
The reason that I can understand you.
and still like you is that...
How many years were you there after I left?
About 5 years. (Feels sorry)
Why'd you get fired?
There was a reorganization,
and the ratings...
Why'd you stay when you couldn't even hold on?
Should've just left.
So what Kim Kyung-sik is saying, is that
- he still feels that gratitude towards him. - Of course.
I wish for his best.
All he wanted was an understanding,
so if you could...
Okay, okay.
(Hug of reconciliation)
- I love you. - Thank you.
Kim Kyung-sik, please hang this on your wall.
Hey, get rid of this.
(Absolutely get rid of an ill past)
Everyone fell down.
Excuse me, Mr. Kang,
can we please go past this radio situation?
- Yes, we will. - My heart's just pounding.
There will be a second attack from the Kim Kyung-sik's side.
Your honorable President of the Singer Association,
- Why're you saying it like you don't mean it? - I do.
You released the song "Spotted Butterfly" in 1989.
I do acknowledge that this song was very popular.
However, this song was over 27 years ago.
There wasn't any song after the Spotted Butterfly.
Isn't it hard for you to hang in there
with simply just one song?
So...
He's coming off strong.
That's exactly why he's the winner of Mental Victory.
Most people will try to achieve more.
I'm just asking if it's hard for you.
The qualification I have to be the President of Singer Association is
that I was satisfied with my 1 big hit.
I let go of my own greed for another hit song to other singers.
So you let go of your greed
for another hit song to give to others
- and then just simply became the President. - Yes.
I'm very qualified.
How beautiful is that?
Even if he didn't give up another hit song,
he wouldn't have affected others so much,
- but... - Hey.
- Aren't you on my side? - I'm getting there.
The reason he's the winner of Mental Victory
is because Spotted Butterflies disappear quickly after Spring.
However, his Spotted Butterfly has been living for 27 years.
- That's right. - It's 27 years old.
He released a total of 22 albums.
- But out of all those, - I released a lot.
14 of those albums include the Spotted Butterfly.
- They all included the song. - Spot... Spo... Spotted Butterfly?
Yes, the Spotted Butterfly.
It was a remix version of it.
There's a dance version, ballad version,
the one that they flew to Dokdo Island and back,
techno version,
and so much more.
- Please show us. - Your honor,
- may we present the music as evidence? - You may.
Let's listen.
- Now for the evidence. - Please listen to it and make a rational decision.
Spotted Butterfly could be this different?
This is the original.
Would you like to stand up?
(The 27 year old Spotted Butterfly)
(The Reggae version)
(Free)
(Trot version)
(Haha)
It's similar to Reggae.
Wait, wait! (Objection)
(The Gangbuk style version)
(All over the place)
(Shocking steps of a 27 year-old Spotted Butterfly)
(Different versions of Spotted Butterfly)
Your honor, did you listen to that?
- Trot and Gangbuk style...
4 versions of the same exact song,
was it different or the same?
It's exactly the same, because...
Because he didn't sing it again, right?
Yes, he did.
He recorded it again every time.
I see, really?
Really?
Why? What were you thinking?
I thought it was the voice from 27 years ago,
and then they just worked on the MR.
That just proves how well he took care of his voice.
(Satisfied)
He is indeed the winner of Mental Victory.
Wait, then...
Since he has so many different versions,
could you show us how you sang the different versions?
(Flinch)
I have a performance tomorrow and need to save my voice.
Then I'll do the honors since I'm his attorney.
This was the original, however in the trot version...
(What is that?)
He gave a vibration.
(The original singer is satisfied!)
(Full of trot feeling)
(Exactly presented the trot evidence)
Lee Soo-guen, you're still alive.
It went by so fast, you just didn't realize.
Let me just say something.
The reason Kim Heung-guk only has 1 hit song
is because he doesn't think about changing himself.
He's conservative.
- No. - He's conservative.
No.
(I totally like that)
Everyone knows that he's conservative.
I'm not a liberal, I'm conservative.
Are you going to talk about politics?
He's not a liberal.
There's no reason to not change his way of singing.
Hey, you die if you change.
You need change to survive these days.
You'll die if you don't change.
He doesn't invest in himself.
There's a saying,
that even if the river flows,
the rock stays still.
People who are sensitive to change like the river,
will fail soon.
If you change the wrong way and invest in the wrong place,
it's not just him,
but his whole family fails.
- An adventure. - No, you can't do adventures.
You'll be in a big trouble.
But I believe, a bit of an adventure, not big but small...
I'm sorry to say, but it''s okay for you to say it,
but Sang-min can't say that yet.
- But I... - Does he have a building?
(No building and nothing to say)
I'm saying this out of shame,
you were a singer that left a big hit of the song called the Spotted Butterfly.
But the reason he has no more hit songs,
is because it's time for him to let go of the song.
For example,
A rhinoceros beetle.
Or a Lucanidae.
A rhinoceros beetle.
Or a Stag Beetle.
- You know... - You're saying that as if it's an idea.
Hey, you want the song after the Spotted Butterfly to be a Stag Beetle?
Stag Beetle, go walk.
Hide behind the trees.
It's not something to laugh about, because
the younger generation is crazed for him.
What's he doing right now?
If he releases an album with a rhinoceros beetle or a stag beetle,
I believe, this will definitely be a big hit.
He's totally treating me like a bug.
Of course not, sir.
I'm just saying that you went 27 years too far with just a butterfly.
Then you go catch bugs when you have time.
Don't tell me about it, you go.
Here's a moth, here's a rhinoceros beetle.
(Frustrated)
This is why he's the winner of Mental Victory.
Doesn't matter what anyone says.
- Would I come out here if I had an idea? - That's right.
No matter how many years people told him to change,
he just like the butterfly.
Why change?
(Oh, right!)
When "Ask us Anything" called me to come out,
Do you know how many people I went around to ask?
This is the kind of person he is.
He won his Mental Victory.
No one can beat him.
I'm actually jealous of his philosophy.
"Why change when I can live with it?"
- Right? - Of course.
Then why did you,
change your choreography for the song you sang
a month later, 3 months later, 6 months later and such?
- Choreography? - Why'd you change it?
There wasn't a change in choreography.
The dancers must've changed it. I didn't.
No, at first you only did this.
At first.
Then after you got more famous, you went like this.
Then more and more, you almost fell.
I'm correct, right?
You remember such things?
So you're saying that he's advanced further because of his choreography change.
Change is good, but you need to be careful in investment.
Now,
it's time for Kim Heung-guk's side to attack.
Personally, I really respect Kim Kyung-sik.
He was the best comedian in the 90s.
He was known for the "woodpecker".
For those who don't know, let's listen.
From that one sound,
he was very popular at the time and earned a lot of money.
- Since he was very popular. - Where did he waste that on?
So, that's the problem.
He jumps into the musical business.
He suddenly jumped into the musical business,
and didn't just fail,
but really failed big time.
Then he went into a lot of debt.
Because of that,
- he lost his house. - Oh no.
The huge palace disappeared.
In just one day,
he had to transfer into a monthly rent apartment.
It's only half monthly rent.
Yes, only half monthly rent.
In any case, he lost a lot.
Even when that happened, he thought, why did I do that?
He's indeed a Mental failure, not a winner.
- He's already crying on the inside. - No.
He needs to be healed.
The reason I am the winner of Mental Victory is
that even if I came all the way down
from that high end of the life style to here,
and sometimes not having any money at all
and making loans to survive,
I believe most people would have searched for alcohol,
or something like that.
However, I didn't think that this was an obstacle,
but a stepping stone.
So I went through it with one thing.
Family.
So I realized that I could do worse things for my family.
It was worse for me when I was young.
Now I can say this.
- What is it? - I feel embarrassed for hating you.
I feel embarrassed for hating you.
Oh, no...
I didn't know how bad it was.
This is a perfect reconciliation.
This reconciliation is really a heart to heart forgiveness.
The truth is,
if you don't try because you’re scared to fail,
you can't experience success.
(Everyone is shocked by such a deep quote)
He's an icon of attempt.
Going along with what you said,
the biggest failure is not trying at all.
Yes, that's right.
Is this a Proverb battle?
Everyone write it down.
So Kim Kyung-sik tried... (Studying harder than when he was a student)
As Kang Ho-dong just said,
A wound may hurt, but scars don't hurt.
- I know.
You need to jump off a cliff knowing that it's dangerous
you need to jump off the cliff to realize that you have wings.
to realize that you have wings.
The result...
(These gem-like Proverbs)
Let's end filming.
(Shocked)
Yes, I believe that was enough.
It's getting boring as time passes.
Let me just say one thing to sum it up.
My life isn't over yet,
and that's my mentality of how I'm living on,
so one day,
I will repay my debt towards everyone who's ever helped me.
I have never forgotten.
I hope that day comes faster.
This will be the last attack by Kim Kyung-sik's side.
There're few things that symbolize Kim Heung-guk.
- Okay. - Soccer.
Marine Corps.
And Buddhism.
That's right.
Politics.
Why's he talking about politics all of a sudden?
There're a lot of episodes that link Kim Heung-guk with politics.
The whole public knows about the fact that
he's close with the politician Jung Mong-joon.
So there're sayings that he may go into politics soon.
But not one party has every reached out to him.
And so, his hope about politics
is shattering at this moment.
And so,
his mentality right now is very weak.
No, that's not right.
Politician Jung Mong-joon left politics at the moment.
So people are probably thinking that I'm done with politics too.
But no, I'm the President of the Singer Association,
so I'm a possible representative.
But I'm just choosing not to be.
Plus, my wife said that she'd divorce me if I go into politics.
I'm the president for Singer Association for 3 years.
Since I was elected, I need to work.
So if.
If we need some funds and the members request for me to go
and bring in some sponsors,
then I can go do that.
But your wife said that she'd divorce you if you do.
Then I need to persuade her somehow.
Nam-jin, since she's his fan, needs to go see her or something.
(Just trust me)
There's always a way.
Yes, that was a good example.
If he came out for election,
Will you vote for him?
If I join the Singer Association, then of course I should.
But if I don't, I won't vote for him.
(Such a stubborn mindset)
- Since he's not enrolled yet... - He's a character.
I like people like him.
Then, while we're at it,
let's hear your proposal.
I would like to run this way.
- If I was running? - Yes.
- He's prepared. - He's already prepared.
I'm your secretary,
and I believe you should take your glasses off first.
My fellow citizens,
My name means
to enjoy your country.
In order for everyone to enjoy,
in order to make new changes in the politics,
I come forth.
My fellow citizens,
I will make sure to revive this country's economy,
and save those that are like Kim Kyung-sik.
Trust in me,
and vote for me.
I will make our country a world-widely known country.
Thank you.
Since we're talking about politics,
would you like to meet the future Gyeongnamdo representative?
- What? - Right over here.
Fellow citizens.
(Future politic's two gems' greetings)
You just have to clean up a bit.
(The future representative for Kyeongnam has some things to take care of)
(Satisfied)
Now, then the last attack...
Young-chul get ready.
- This is the last attack. - Yes, we're up last.
Min Kyung-hoon,
all of a sudden, one day,
you don't have any Buzz members or Ask us Anything members around you.
How would you feel?
I'd be with someone else then.
(That's not the answer I wanted)
Wouldn't there be others who're replacing them?
Why would you ask him a question?
In any case, what I would like to say is
- that Kim Kyung-sik... - Yeah, just talk about me.
That's why I'm talking about you.
He is alone right now.
Tin Tin Five are all separated,
being along in this field without 1 friend.
Don't you think that'd be really hard?
- Of course it's hard. - Your honor.
His mental has been alone and shut out by others
and is on parole.
You look good.
How is he alone?
He has his wife and kids.
- How is he alone? - Was I talking about that?
I was talking about a friend in this field of work.
- He doesn't need any. - I don’t have any too.
You shouldn't say that.
- I don't have much friends. - Is that something to boast about?
I don't think it's anything to not boast about.
But you still have your Buzz members.
I have members, they're co-workers.
But I don't have close friends that are...
Are you close with your members?
We just do our thing.
Why ask such thing?
It's just simply business.
Is a group business?
Was Tin Tin Five just a business?
No, we're like brothers.
Why aren't you all together?
We all meet each other once a month.
The most recent gathering was in Ilsan...
All five of you?
- You meet often. - Yes,
all four of us.
The members in your group is the same thing as your second family.
There's no reason for him to be lonely.
He's living happily,
with healthy mind.
That's it for black history.
(Approximately year 2036)
(Something that was impossible 20 years ago)
(Dream has come true)
(He got old the past 20 years)
Hello.
It is the year 2036.
I am Kang Ho-dong, the host for the press conference
of the Mental Victory Competition.
(The forever young brothers transformed into reporters)
Today's press conference was set
to hear the true stories
of the hard life Kim Heung-guk and Kim Kyung-sik went through.
(LOL)
First, we'll have a truthful Q&A session.
I'll ask my first question.
I'm reporter Lee from Ball & People Monthly.
Before we begin the press conference, congratulations.
For the first time ever,
you became the first President of FIFA in Asia,
Kim Heung-guk, congratulations.
I became the president of FIFA?
Yes, you did.
(It was not too long ago) (His mind must be wandering around)
Please tell us how you feel about the presidency.
If you can in English, please do so.
I want to..,2@#$@$!^
FIFA & Football and
That'll be it.
Excuse me, is the person next to you, your wife?
Some old person I don't know.
(Betrayal)
Congratulations on your presidency.
I'm reporter Seo from Yoon Jong-shin Monthly.
Everyone's a newspaper company.
I'm reporter Seo from Yoon Jong-shin Monthly.
But you've been the
President of Korea Soccer Association for the past 16 years.
After your presidency in FIFA,
Korea has never went up to round of 16 for the World Cup.
What do you think about that?
As the President,
the reason they couldn't go up to round of 16,
is not my fault but the director's.
That's what I believe.
Who's the director?
They must've used a local director.
You didn't know who it was?
It's Director Ki Sung-yueng.
Ki Sung-yueng
I thought he would be good.
But I still don't know why they used a director like him.
It would've been better off to use Son Heung-min
I'm very honored to be here,
because I'm here with a former singer
but now, Mr. President of Korea, Kim Heung-guk.
What'd you say?
President?
You're know to be the most liberal President...
Am I the president of the singers,
or the President like the one who goes in to the Blue house?
- The real President. - Oh, really?
You became the President,
but you can't remember?
He's reaching 80.
It was only 4 years ago.
It's been a while.
You are now the President.
But do you remember the Spotted Butterfly Gate?
(Nervous) The one where you got drunk
and danced to the Spotted Butterfly naked in front of the Blue house?
It was released to the public and you were impeached.
- Reporter Kim. - Yes?
Do you have evidence?
It spread like wildfire on social media.
I would like to sue that reporter.
(Tail down)
Shall we show you the evidence?
I can dance if I want.
Presidents aren't allowed to dance?
You can, but you were naked.
- When you were singing... - I must've drank a lot.
I heard that there's a pending lawsuit against the producer of Spotted Butterfly.
Why?
Because you used the song as your election song.
You also changed the lyrics to "hide behind the citizens".
What do you think about that issue?
How long have you been working Mr. Kim?
I'm sorry.
How long have you been a reporter?
I'm an intern.
Intern.
Such an annoying lad.
I heard that you're preparing to go up for election
as a politician even after your impeachment.
You still haven't given up?
Will you come out without a party again?
You became the President without a party.
Wow, that means he's very skilled.
Mr. Min, you're right on point.
The ones that're good for him are on point.
The neighbors of Sungdong-gu,
like the Wangsimni songs
so they keep asking me to come forward.
So I'm still reviewing.
What about Gimpo?
I'm for Gimpo and Wangsimni right now.
You hit the jackpot in politics and in your singing career.
And now, just a while ago, you donated a jackpot.
You donated your entire savings to
the Youth Soccer Teams and the Marine Corps.
I heard that it was about $100 Trillion.
Are you really donating all this?
I have assets worth $100 Trillion?
Yes.
The Longhorn Beetle album was a big hit around the world.
- Just from the copyright... - You're a tough reporter.
(Flinch)
You remember what was said 20 years ago.
The copyright of the song earned you about $100 Trillion.
Since it's such a big amount,
I would like to pass some off to my children.
(He realizes that he made a mistake)
Your son.
Wasn't that too truthful?
How many percentage are you thinking?
I wouldn't give it all to him but need to divide.
So how would you divide it?
I will donate it to the public,
and would like to give some for my children.
I would like to ask you a question.
I'm Reporter Lee from "Those who follow the Birds Magazine".
- You switch companies often. - Yes.
You lived away from your family,
and earned about $100 Trillion (Could mean a swan in Korean).
You live like a bird.
Wait was that $100 Tril a swan?
Hey.
You were donating a swan.
The marine corps does not want to breed a swan.
You guys were talking about the bird swan?
You guys don't even qualify to be a reporter.
No, I meant that it was $100 Tril.
Your family declared that they will live overseas again.
I'm still not done living alone?
Yes, they're going back overseas
because you were donating your entire savings.
My wife is only 5 years younger than me.
She's not young anymore, why go again?
(Heung-guk bursted because of the extension of loneliness)
(Please just not that)
It's because you're donating your entire savings.
She's declaring a war.
Lee Soo-geun, you said his entire life savings is $100 Tril.
It's $20 billion for a water bottle because of inflation.
It's not such a huge amount.
A jar of Kimchi is about $50 billion.
The economy right now, a bottle of water is $20 billion.
Reporter Seo Jang-hoon,
you're still scamming people?
(Scammer?)
Will you separate from your family again or what?
If I have to live away from them again,
might as well just live totally separately.
I'm tired of it.
Just live the rest of each other's lives in comfort.
Yes, it mgiht be what she wants.
You still haven't let go of your singing career.
Your newest 5682nd album was released.
The EDM version of the Spotted Butterfly hit big on the charts.
You also showed a different side of you as a drummer on a world tour.
He performs in variety of ways.
Can we see those drumming skills?
- There're no drums here. - Yes there is.
- You prepared the drums? - Yes.
Really? We're doing all sorts of nonsense.
There's a rumor that
your drumming skills are Hand-sync.
You can't play the drums,
but you're playing it fake.
Are you really able to play the drums?
Would I be lying at this age?
- So you can show us right now. - Yes, I will.
(Talented drumming hand skills(
( Playing the drums to the Spotted Butterfly song)
(Full of excitement)
(Exploding charisma behind the drums)
(Dance)
(Fantastic)
(A charming point of the 78 year-old Heung-guk we haven't seen before)
Spotted Butterfly, go fly
(The Spotted Butterfly that's been with him the past 47 years is like his identity)
(An incredible performance of the President of Singer Association)
(Amazing!)
That was very charming.
Report Lee,
did this take care of your rumor hypothesis?
Yes it did.
Now to finalize the press conference,
Kim Kyung-sik's questions are left.
Kim Kyung-sik is know to be the hot potato of this field.
A fad phrase every time he opens his mouth,
everything he puts on is sold out.
He's the living trend.
To be honest,
20 years ago, you were the icon of ignorance.
- How do you feel these days? - Just keep killing me.
This all happened after my appearance on Ask us Anything
and the Hair and Jerry was back on.
All the fad phrases came from that,
and all went well.
I would like to give my honors to Heung-guk.
Will you accept?
You finally hit the jackpot.
The musical, "Animal Kingdom".
You entered into Broadway as a producer.
Animal Kingdom was chosen as the musical that followed Cats.
What's more important is that
despite your 67 years of age,
you're performing as a monkey yourself.
May we see a scene?
I need to be doing that.
I'm the one who produced the musical.
(Embarrassed)
President you could be a sit-still monkey.
(Yum) (Yum)
(Amazing acting)
Stop eating.
(His never ending love for ending the film)
Stop eating.
I need to give you a bad news.
You were acknowledged for the musical itself,
but financially...
You haven't been able to pay the rent at Broadway.
I believe the investigation was done wrong.
I'm not in debt,
but I promised to pay it all back at once.
Long time ago or today,
you still can't take care of yourself financially.
You're in debt, here and there.
- When will you ever pay it all back? - I will one day.
We heard that your close friend Shin Dong-yeop
is getting into another business and you're worried.
Could you tell him an advise as a friend?
But that business might work out well.
What kind of business?
It's a bit R-rated business.
Is it porn?
Not there.
He owns a worldly known hotel franchise.
Nose hair chain?
(Oh my)
- Hotel. - I thought he said nose hair.
(Even his hearing is for his own benefit)
How long is the press conference?
One last question.
Wearing this is very itchy.
I'm sorry, but would you like me to scratch you with this?
Yeah, he must've left some fleas when he was catching them.
- May I say something to finish it? - Sure.
So there's more to say.
When you finished doing the radio,
I was sincerely upset and felt bad.
We were just starting to have that chemistry.
And even when we drank, you always said the right things.
I was really upset when we separated.
I will become famous and repay my debt to you.
When will that be?
Please keep helping me.
I'll be 100 in 20 years.
You live up to 100 these days.
Let them know that I'm well.
(He's never behind in his trend) He knows everything.
He's so good.
Let them know that I'm well.
Let them know that it's not time for me to go yet.
If you believe that Kim Heung-guk should become the
winner of Mental Victory Competition, please press 1.
If you believe that Kim Kyung-sik should become the
winner of Mental Victory Competition, please press 2.
One, two, three.
All the votes are in.
A total of 9 people participated in the vote.
The one who perfectly got the number for the First winner last week,
Kyung-hoon.
(Last week's First Mental Victory Winner)
I believe it's about 7 to 2.
Bingo.
Really? I just guessed.
What do you believe it is out of the 9 votes?
I believe it's a close call today.
(Scanning with his intuition)
But personally, I believe... (No way he'll get it right again?)
it'll be a 4 to 5.
The votes are in, and he absolutely got it right.
The votes came out to 4 to 5.
I'm getting goosebumps.
How're you so good?
(I will tell you the score)
Who will be the 2nd winner of Mental Victory Competition?
The 2nd winner of Mental Victory Competition is?
Reveal the winner of Mental Victory Competition!
(It's a close call)
(Where will the fire of Mental Victory light up?)
Heung-guk understood my true feelings
and that was what cleansed me.
I can say it now.
I feel embarrassed for hating you.
(Who is the true winner?)
(The second episode of Mental Victory Competition)
(Who will it be?)
(An unpredicted result that surprised everyone?)
(Kim Heung-guk's victory!)
(Sad that it was just by 1 vote)
(Indifferent)
(A stopped screen by himself)
Is he sleeping right now?
- So the winner of Mental Victory Competition... - Oh, I'm the one?
Kim Heung-guk is the winner. Congratulations.
We'll talk more after you come down to the stage.
Please come forward.
How do you feel about becoming the 2nd winner?
It's whatever.
Kim Kyung-sik should've been the one.
I would like to pass off my goodness to him.
I chose Kim Heung-guk in the end.
He's someone I can look up to.
I realized that his mentality is way above me.
Let me ask you,
who did you vote for?
I voted for myself.
(A must to become the winner of MVC, narcissism)
We give a compensation for the loser for their mental treatment.
- Really? - There's nothing for the winner.
How much is the compensation?
$1000.
Then I shouldn't have picked myself.
(Last regrets)
- We... - Hey.
Why do you say that after it's over?
You should've said it beforehand.
It was a great program but
it's just a mess in the end.
So with this compensation,
have a drink with some good people.
Of course. Thank you.
(Transfer of the compensation)
Let's go drink with this.
The truth is, the compensation is $100.
How's $100?
It was good to vote for myself.
(Sea of laughter)
You're funny until the end.
I can let it go for that amount.
Until the day that everyone has a healthy mind and wins mentally,
we will stride forward to be better.
See you next week. Thank you!
There're 10 men here.
If more men come out...
The ratings are going hit rock bottom.
If 11 membered group comes out, let's just play soccer.
10 vs. 10.
Super Junior and stuff.
Please come out.
(Very happy)
(Wow)
(A female guest as they had hoped?)
(If you're curious about their story)
(Ask us Anything)
