(Father...)
I was in an ambulance with her.
(A father is stronger than any hero,)
(but he has a soft spot for his children.)
Sometimes I think of those moments.
Now, I know how hard it is to raise a child.
There's something behind you!
I'm sorry. I have a terrible sight.
(These fathers are hilarious.)
Couldn't you make us laugh in a better way?
So you were worse before.
(They cry, laugh and get upset.)
- No, that's... - Like this.
(Loving fathers' emotional roller coaster ride)
I must be out of my mind.
(Crying Daddy Special starts now.)
We've invited four rookie dads who love their children so much...
that they tear up just thinking about their children.
- Rookie dads. - Today's theme is...
Crying Daddy Special.
Our first guest is famous for a horse-like face, together with...
Lee Moon Se and Lee Soo Man. They were really popular in the 80s.
- That's right. - When he was 52 years old in 2012,
he married his wife who is 15 years younger than him.
He's the new hope for old bachelors.
Just say that he's 51 years old.
- Why do you say his Korean age? - He's 52 years old.
- He was 52 in 2012. - Right.
He's not 52 now.
(He doesn't mind getting his age revealed.)
He had his son after eight months of marriage.
- He may be the oldest father of... - It's nine months!
a three-year-old in the entertainment business.
Yoo Yeol, Jeong Yoon's father.
Yeol has a wife who is 15 years younger, but...
- his wife is 17 years younger. - Who is this guy?
He cried his eyes out when...
- Sobangcha disbanded and... - Right.
when he had his daughter.
Chung Won Kwan, Ah In's father.
- Chung Ah In. - Chung Won Kwan.
Now, the next guest is more famous as the husband of...
So E Hyun, not as himself.
As an actor, he'd been unknown for 15 years.
However, through the drama "Make a Woman Cry",
he became well-known for his role as a husband who cheats.
What do you mean by "unknown"?
He was acting but no one knew his name.
- His name was a secret. - Yes.
(He feels dizzy.)
- In Gyo Jin, Ha Eun's father. - His name is In Gyo Jin.
His daughter is In Ha Eun.
He had his son after seven years of marriage.
He became a dad very late.
It's probably already hard for him to take care of himself.
I'm worried if he can properly hold his baby.
I wonder how he made a baby in the first place.
- Don't do that. - He's not a living dead.
What's wrong with you?
(Bitter)
- Lee Yoon Seok, Seung Hyeok's dad. - He's son is Lee Seung Hyeok.
- Welcome. - Good to have you.
(Yoo Yeol, Chung Won Kwan, In Gyo Jin, Lee Yoon Seok)
They're all here.
We have four rookie dads here.
- My son recently became three. - I see.
- He's three years old. - He's three.
What about yours, Won Kwan?
- She's not even a year old. - Okay.
- How many months? - It's been only 70 days.
- Only 70 days? - She's young.
- She was born last November. - I see.
(After the shoot, they celebrated her 100th day. Congratulations!)
- How about yours, Gyo Jin? - It's been 59 days.
- Oh, my. - Only 59 days.
(Ha Eun also had her 100th day. Congratulations!)
It's been 59 days and 70 days.
I only remember that my son was born on December 16th.
They're all rookie dads, but...
Yeol is the oldest among them and he's 20 years older than Gyo Jin.
I heard you were very surprised when you heard how old Yeol is.
Yes. My father is five years older than him.
(He still keeps smiling as they talk about his age.)
Your father is young.
When I first heard his name, I thought you meant...
Yu Hui Yeol.
(He thought it was Yu Hui Yeol.)
- They're very... - How will you raise him?
I don't have time to worry about that.
I'm grateful for...
every day. It's a gift.
- It really is a gift. - Yes.
- To be able to feel the joy... - I'm jealous of him.
What are you going to do, Gook Jin?
- His son's already three years old. - Three years old.
I'm so jealous.
(Gook Jin is jealous that his son is already three years old.)
The average age of today's guests is quite high.
It's been a long time since we had guests older than Gook Jin.
Won Kwan, how old is your mother-in-law?
She was born in 1959.
- She's around your age. - She can be your friend.
- Isn't she 2 or 3 years older? - She can't be my friend.
- She sure can. - No.
If you had met her when you were younger, she could've been.
- Right. - She's only 2 or 3 years older.
- She may be an older friend. - Maybe sister-in-law.
They're making me nervous.
(He's having a hard time with their harsh talk.)
- Can I take this off? It's hot. - Yes.
It's getting hot.
Is it?
It will be cold later.
(He keeps his smile even with their threat.)
- Won Kwan, I heard your wife... - Yes?
doesn't like you talking to her parents.
When I'm with her parents to go somewhere together,
I sometimes get carried away with the stories they tell me.
- I empathise with them. - Yes.
- When walking on a street, - "Something was here before."
He'd wonder what used to be there before, and...
- I say, "A pool used to be there." - Okay.
- I can feel my wife staring at me. - Oh, boy.
That means I shouldn't have said that.
- It makes you an old guy. - It's something an old man knows.
It's something like "This used to be Maljuk Street."
"There was a rice paddy here."
"Cheong Gye Cheon stream was right next to it."
He would go, "Where is Sam Il Overpass?"
- "It used to be there." - Right.
Sam Il Overpass and Sam Il Building were there.
It was the highest building back then.
- My wife doesn't know about those. - There used to be a building...
- like 63 Building today. - It was the highest.
"Shall we go shopping at Midopa department store?"
- For me, it's... - Oh, Midopa department store.
The things that I must be careful about is...
- In Yongin, - Yes.
- there is the Natural Farm. - Right. There is.
- It's called Everland now. - Right.
I had never heard of the new name until my wife told me.
- Oh, really? - I was talking to my father-in-law.
I said, "Let's go to the Natural Farm later."
Then my wife...
looked at me as if she felt bad for me.
It was around the 1988 Olympics.
We're talking about the 80s, right?
- We used to sing at the Blue House. - "Six Children" was on TV.
- The Blue House? - It was at a conference with the...
supreme commander. We sang "Story of Last Night".
Normally, people would simply clap along, but...
they danced some sort of waltz to the music.
Someone with the badge of rank...
- Waltz to "Story of Last Night"? - danced with his wife in Hanbok.
They danced like this.
I was really surprised.
(The good old times)
Gyo Jin, in Radio Star's history, you were the first one to...
cry over the phone interview.
- Oh, really? - You did?
He cried not once but twice.
- The interviewer was flustered. - Yes.
- At the end of the interview, - He cries a lot.
you asked us to prepare some tissues for you.
If you want to cry, we have tissues here.
Normally, if you think about...
the moment that your child was born...
- You would all remember it. - Oh, that moment.
- You would all cry. - Do you usually cry often?
- Yes... I do. - I see.
When I talk about my wife,
things sometimes get...
I get touched and emotional.
You're already about to cry.
Right.
- He cries easily. - Yes.
I guess so.
It's a bit extreme but...
I would understand if his wife gave him a kidney or something.
- Or a part of her liver. - Yes.
You must love your wife.
- I often... - Normally, it's tears out of anger.
imagine things.
For example, from the moment I knew I'll be on Radio Star,
- I started talking to myself. - Okay.
I start imagining what I should say and...
how I should say it.
I think to myself, "I have to say something funny and do a good job."
Then I heard who the other guests were, so...
I knew it will be hard.
I've been listening to their talk.
Just like Kyu Hyun, I'm laughing but I don't really get it.
I can't really get into the conversation.
I guess I'm just unlucky.
- Once, I... - You mean unlucky to be here today?
- No, I mean... - We weren't who he expected.
He thought he should be the funny one today, but...
they ruined it for him.
- Seriously, it's not like that. - It's okay.
- I got a part in "Queen Seondeok". - Yes.
- That's right. - There are 10 Hwarangs in the show.
The 10 Hwarangs were always together.
So they were like a team, but I was alone.
I went into the palace called Yong Chun Palace.
I acted with senior actors like Shin Gu,
Jo Min Ki,
- Jeong Seong Mo and Ko Hyun Jung. - Right.
I couldn't really be at ease and socialise with them.
- I was unlucky. - I see.
So you think you're unlucky today as well.
- No, I didn't mean... - I can see...
- his mouth going dry. - It's not...
It's not like that.
(He's a little sloppy but adorable in a way.)
What did your wife E Hyun say about you being here?
She has some experience in variety shows.
Yes, I told her I'd be here today.
She and Gook Jin have been working together...
- for a long time. She's grateful. - That's right.
She also mentioned that Jong Shin and Gu Ra were both nice to her...
when she had the chance to work with you.
But you're stuck with us. How unfortunate.
I'm truly sorry.
You shouldn't do that!
When I entered the waiting room, he was already there.
He looked at me as if he didn't expect someone like me.
That's not true.
- When he came in... - Yes.
I was afraid he might feel uncomfortable.
I just thought I might be taking all the space.
He took his glasses off right after he came in and did this.
(Groaning)
I'm serious.
- Really, I... - He does that.
He gets tired easily.
After taking his glasses off, he really did this...
and also this.
(Gyo Jin is so funny.)
- He looked so tired. - That's right.
Yeol and Won Kwan came in to say hello.
Yes, we went in to say hi.
When they came in, Yoon Seok...
stood up without his glasses and...
said, "I'm sorry. I have a terrible sight."
- I couldn't see. - He's good!
- That was a good one. - That was great.
- I'm not lying. - He really couldn't see.
I was this close to him like this.
- "It's you, Won Kwan." - I was surprised.
Because you couldn't see?
- I have a terrible sight. - Really?
Oh, Yoon Seok...
- You must be aging very fast. - Right.
- I don't hate Gyo Jin.
I always do this no matter who is around.
- I do this all the time. - It's true.
And I close my eyes.
- He has a weak body. - One day, I...
had a chance to be on a show with Yoon Seok.
I asked my manager what kind of person he is.
He said that he was on a football team together with Yoon Seok.
He told me Yoon Seok hurt himself while doing warm-up exercises.
He was warming up and...
said, "Oh, no. Get my car."
He was stretching and had to go home?
- Gyo Jin prepared a lot for us. - He did.
He's right. Perhaps I'm the only person in the world who...
cracked the bone during a warm-up exercise.
I was doing something like this when...
I didn't even get to play in the game.
I had to be carried in a gurney.
He has many funny stories.
(It's dangerous outside the bed.)
His wife will be happy to see him today.
- He's really funny. - Yes, he is.
- He is an unexpected character. - Gyo Jin is funny.
Gyo Jin, your father said something to you about you being here?
I said, "I'll be on Radio Star." And he said,
"People don't know your name. Why would you be on the radio?"
"They wouldn't recognise your voice."
- He thought you'll be on the radio. - Yes.
I said, "No, it's Radio Star." and he said,
"You're not even a star. Why would you be on that show?"
- He's funny. - He kept saying...
people wouldn't recognise my voice.
So my father's friend who was there said,
"It's a TV show with Kim Gu Ra and others." Then my father said,
"Oh, really? Then go and make a good impression."
"Go and talk your head off."
- His father is so funny. - He is hilarious.
(Gyo Jin's father is funny and pleasant.)
Gyo Jin cried twice during the phone interview.
In Yoon Seok's case, the interviewer cried after talking to him.
Was my story touching?
What did you tell her?
Every father would understand this.
Frankly speaking, I don't get much work these days.
- You never had much work. - You're right, but...
other normal dads work six days a week and...
take one day off.
In my case, I work one day and...
take six days off.
- You take care of your son. - Yes, but...
I don't take full responsibility of the child care.
My wife takes care of the major things, and...
I do the minor tiresome work.
I can neither complain nor get much work.
So I don't know...
what I should do as a father.
- Well, this is... - This made...
- the interviewer cry? - It's sad enough.
It is indeed a sad story of yours, but you don't make it sound sad.
After you became a father, you also became less funny.
What should he do?
- It's a big problem. - Being a father doesn't...
- make you funny. - Do something about it.
(I want to do something about it, too.)
So it's uncomfortable for you to have your wife make a meal for you?
Yes. A few days ago, she prepared a grilled fish,
- some meat and steamed egg. - Okay.
I kind of felt pressured.
- You shouldn't! - That's not that much.
You should just eat. You're not in a prison.
It's very nutritious and expensive food.
- Oh, boy. - You don't have to be like that.
- You think you don't deserve it. - Well...
I don't think I deserve it.
Oh, come on.
- I work one day a week. - She's a Korean medicine doctor.
Also, your wife's parents own the...
only public bath around the Bukhansan Mountain.
- Near Bukhansan Mountain? - Yes!
- Oh, that one? I go there, too. - Yes.
- It's in the mountain. - Right.
Go and work as a cashier there.
Gosh. I wish I could work there.
- They already have someone. - Right.
- You can't take someone's job. - That's right.
I mean that he can be the manager.
I can imagine Yoon Seok sitting on a chair like this.
(Yoon Seok would look like this.)
What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to worry about it.
No, I mean... What do you call the guy?
My wife's son. No, my wife's younger brother.
- Brother-in-law. - Brother-in-law.
Yes, my brother-in-law is...
- He said "the guy". - My wife's son?
What's wrong with you?
- I don't really know those terms. - All right. It's brother-in-law.
- His brother-in-law manages it. - My brother-in-law takes care of...
the facility and he's going to inherit the business.
- Yoon Seok... - If I go there often,
- he may get the wrong idea. - That's true.
If I work as a cashier there, he would think...
I wanted to be a part of the business.
He can misunderstand.
(He's only joking.)
Yoon Seok said, "I'm the only one who shares a waiting room with...
Gu Ra and shares a hotel room with Lee Gyeong Gyu."
You call yourself "the man whom people with panic disorder love".
"The man whom people with panic disorder love"?
Gu Ra is relatively in a good shape among many others.
Gyeong Gyu can be tiring sometimes.
- Really? - Yes. He doesn't get mad...
- because something happens. - Okay.
He just gets mad and tries to find the reason why.
He gets upset and looks for someone to take it out on.
- It's you! - If I'm with him when that happens,
he says, "Why are you so quiet?"
(I'm angry.)
- I was just drinking water. - Yes.
He gets angry saying, "Why do you drink your water like that?"
If I go out, he says "I'm talking to you! Where are you going?"
He gets upset first.
I drink herbal medicine for my health.
He says, "Why do you drink that everyday?"
- I've had it for 20 years. - You should be out of his sight.
- Avoid him if he gets angry. - That's bad.
When I used to smoke, I just smoked like a normal person.
He got angry saying that I should smoke more like a man.
He said, "Smoke harder!"
- But he got much softer these days. - He's right.
Now he only gets upset when there's a reason.
Oh, that's better.
When he gets upset, he finds the reason why.
It can be troublesome for someone who's with him.
He's so talented at finding a reason.
(Today's reason is you.)
(I love you, Gyeong Gyu.)
Shall we talk about the wives?
Yeol, you had been going out with your wife who's 15 years younger...
for 10 years. During that time, you often threw surprise events.
She's from Busan.
She grew up in Busan...
while I lived in Seoul.
One time, we fought over the phone...
because of a misunderstanding.
I wanted us to make up face-to-face,
- so I went to Busan. - My goodness.
When I got there, I found that her phone was dead.
I see.
My phone was charged,
- but I could not contact her. - Her phone was dead.
- I had no choice but to wait. - Right.
This was before I met up with her parents.
- I see. - I had to wait.
- Did you really wait for her? - I waited for a day.
- Inside a car? - Yes.
You are too old to be ruining your health by waiting in the car.
(Joking)
Won Kwan, I heard that your wife gave you a heartfelt advice...
regarding your morning prayer.
Women who go to church for morning prayers...
pray about what kind of husband they want to meet.
Their prayer might go, "I want him to look a certain way."
They pray for a man of their dreams.
They pray very ardently.
My wife said this to me one day.
She told me that she had prayed to meet...
a gentle and understanding man,
but she forgot to mention his age.
- That's why you have the age gap. - He'd say,
"You did not mention that."
Is it possible...
to converse with your friends? Their children must be in college.
- I know. - It must be hard.
- Their children must be in college. - Their sons would be in the army.
Do you have friends who got married early...
and have great-grandchildren now?
- Not great-grandchildren. - No?
- Some have grandchildren. - I see.
- I am sorry. - Marrying that early is illegal.
(I was joking.)
- My rank in the family is low... - That's right.
- because my wife is so young. - Right.
The relatives who are older than her...
are younger than you, Jong Shin.
My goodness.
- Then they can talk down to you. - You are right.
- That's a dilemma. - They can call him by his name.
- How do they call you? - I have to speak formally.
They might say, "Would you sing us a song?"
Things like that do happen.
- How nice. - We had a conversation like that.
"Do you have costumes from the past?"
Apparently, Gyo Jin's father was a member of So E Hyun's fan club.
- Yes, he was. - Really?
- How unusual. - Your father was a fan of her.
Yes.
- How unusual. - Back in the days,
E Hyun and I were in the same agency.
While watching a drama, I said, "I know her. She is in my agency."
My father said, "She is beautiful. You should be friends with her."
I listened to his advice.
I was home one day...
and found a web page open on the computer.
The computer was logged in...
to a fan club of So E Hyun.
I could see the username in the corner.
It read, "Gyo Jin's Dad".
- What a blunt username. - Gyo Jin's Dad?
He was reading about her recent news.
When E Hyun and I got married,
my father talked about it.
"I was a member of E Hyun's fan club..."
"under the username, Gyo Jin's Dad."
The celebrity he was a fan of became his daughter-in-law.
That's right.
How nice. He succeeded as a fan.
(That's right.)
Yoon Seok, even though you never disobey Gyeong Gyu,
you disobeyed him once before you got married.
I admit that I am a loyal dog of Lee Gyeong Gyu.
I come and go as he pleases.
I open and close my mouth as he pleases.
Now, only a few dogs and I remain by his side.
- They are the real dogs. - I can be more loyal than them.
- That's how loyal you are. - That's right.
(A loyal dog)
One time, I disobeyed him though.
He was the first person to whom I introduced my wife.
I said, "Gyeong Gyu, this is the woman I will be marrying."
Gyeong Gyu was overjoyed and said,
"I want to help you have a special night...
"before the marriage."
Does he think he is a supreme ruler?
I am not sure.
Then...
I refused,
but he insisted...
and got us a very nice room at the hotel.
- I see. - I see.
However, as some of you may know,
- I am conservative. - He is conservative.
That's right.
I couldn't do it in the end.
- Do what? - It was before the marriage.
- That's why I couldn't do it. - He kept chastity before marriage.
I got a refund for the room without Gyeong Gyu's knowledge.
- Did you keep the money? - He spent it for me anyway.
(I am angry.)
Come to think of it now,
I shouldn't have gotten a refund.
I have my reasons.
- A child does not come easily. - That's right.
It's hard to have a child.
- How many years did it take? - It took him seven years.
- It took us about seven years. - Seven years?
- Yes. - Have you had medical assistance?
- Of course he did. - We had a lot of assistance.
My wife struggled a lot.
We heard the good news when she was three months pregnant.
The doctor told her to not move.
- She needed to rest. - She was ordered not to move.
- They didn't want to risk anything. - Right.
My wife stayed in bed for about three months.
I see.
I had to do everything for her since I didn't have a lot of work.
When she said, "Water", I brought her water.
When she said, "I am hungry", I brought her a meal.
I opened the window and turned on the TV for her.
I turned the TV on and off at her command.
Those were my duties of course,
but I wasn't as exhausted as I thought I would be.
I thought to myself, "Why am I not exhausted?"
Then I realised that Gyeong Gyu...
has made me do those tasks in the past.
- He is like a dictator. - He saw the future.
He knew I would encounter this kind of situation...
and trained me accordingly.
- He is more demanding than my wife. - He gets angry, too.
He does get angry. When we have a shoot abroad,
Gyeong Gyu and I share a room.
You would think he can draw a bath himself,
but he goes, "Yoon Seok, draw a bath."
Then he goes into the bathtub and says, "Give me a book."
He could have taken a book with him,
but he insists on reading my book.
After a minute, he throws the book...
and says, "Why do you read this garbage?"
- I am serious. You can ask him. - I have witnessed it.
- I'm telling you the truth. - Yes.
In Japan, he asked me to buy him ice cream while he took a bath.
How would I know where ice cream is sold in Japan?
It was hard-core.
(He is a funny comedian.)
Yoon Seok,
you said that your wife loves you so much that it tires you.
I try not to say such things...
because people don't believe me.
My wife loves me a lot.
Doesn't passionate love fade a few years after the marriage?
- I thought it would after the baby, - It may not be the case.
but she follows me around with the baby in her arms.
- Wow. - How nice.
- It's a good thing. - When I am playing games,
she sits by my side and explains the game...
- to our baby. - Really?
- It's a good thing. - It really is.
I recently ran into Yeom Gyung Hwan.
He told me...
that he is depressed these days.
As you know, he is not the type to get depressed.
He told me...
that while he lives with his wife and his parents-in-law,
his father-in-law is the one who cooks for the family.
Is his father-in-law a fan of Gyung Hwan?
I will end the story right here.
- Is his father-in-law a chef? - No.
(Sighing)
It seems like Yeol is a daring husband.
This is the first story his wife told us...
during the phone interview.
You threw away the dish she cooked for the first time.
- I can't believe Yeol did that. - My goodness.
- That means it tasted very bad. - What did she cook?
(He bows his head.)
- Your wife was so hurt... - He threw it away in front of her?
that she still remembers the words you said to her.
"This is inedible. Which recipe did you use?"
"Did you find it in the book or the internet?"
When she told you that she didn't use a recipe,
you said, "You should have."
- How scary. - I heard that you got very angry.
A producer I know has a wife who is such a bad cook.
So he leaves home early even though his work starts late.
- He doesn't want to eat breakfast. - He doesn't want to.
He wants to eat breakfast at a restaurant.
That's happiness.
Gyung Hwan has to eat a meal prepared by his father-in-law.
(Please stop.)
Which dish did she make?
Even though I love and trust my wife very much,
I must have lost my temper back then.
She had made a noodle dish with love.
- Most noodle dishes are tasty. - It's hard to mess them up.
- You just need anchovy broth. - I know.
- Anyway, go on. - It had an interesting taste...
and I lost my temper by mistake.
I really wanted to eat something tasty with her that day,
so I threw the dish away and offered her to dine out.
(He has no qualms about speaking his mind.)
- My goodness. - "Let's go dine out."
I didn't throw it away immediately.
I did not realise how much...
I had upset her...
until I saw that she left for Busan the next day.
That's how upset she was.
- A noodle dish brought a disaster. - She said, "Find yourself..."
"a girl who can cook well."
Did it really taste bad?
- I bet it did. - Yes, it tasted bad.
- She must be a terrible cook. - Seriously.
- Most noodle dishes are tasty. - I know.
There is something I am curious about.
Most people's cooking skills...
- remain the same. - Some people are terrible cooks.
No, that's not true.
Are you trying to appease your wife?
- No, I am not. - Come on.
It's impossible for one to become a good cook overnight.
Four years have passed since that incident.
Not only does she cook with more speed now,
she also follows the recipe to the letter.
Now,
she is at a point where she can add her touch to a recipe...
- and make a delicious dish. - Really?
- Will this appease my wife? - I think it's too late now.
(Will I be able to go home today?)
It was very bold of you to discard the dish your wife cooked.
My wife only cooks healthy food.
She never uses seasonings, spices,
soy sauce or chilli paste.
- Her dishes are bland, right? - They are very bland.
Even pork is eaten after being boiled without seasonings.
- Really? - Then there remains a gamey odour.
I am not surprised.
I couldn't say anything to my wife, so I just stopped breathing.
At first, I had to cover my nose to stop breathing when I ate.
But after practising every day,
I learned how to breathe with my mouth just like this.
One day, my wife realised something was wrong...
because I was making weird sounds as I ate.
She asked me what was wrong,
and I said, "I'm just breathing."
"Breathing with your mouth?" "I would rather not use my nose."
"Why not?" During that conversation,
I told my wife that her dishes have a gamey odour.
My wife felt so bad and thankful...
that she began to use a bit of spice and soy sauce.
- I endured it for a year. - He is different from Yeol.
- He throws away food he dislikes. - Yeol would have thrown it away.
(Yeol would have poured it on the sink.)
There is another story Yeol's wife told us.
Apparently, Yeol annoys her by creating more work...
when he attempts to do household chores.
What is the incident involving a garbage bag?
The incident involving a garbage bag.
- There are a lot of incidents. - Be honest with us.
Maybe I shouldn't have come today.
I wanted to help my wife with the household chores.
Men are usually in charge of throwing away the garbage,
so I did my job diligently. However, it led to a problem.
I see that you are good at throwing things away.
He throws away everything.
I didn't know there was a government-issued garbage bag.
- I see. - Most men don't know it.
Since I didn't use the right bag,
my wife had to sort the garbage to throw it away again.
Someone had reported us for not following the rules.
Some supermarkets sell a garbage bag to hold groceries, right?
I once mistook the groceries for garbage and threw them away.
- Men are like that. - You threw away the groceries?
- I did. - You thought it was trash.
I was out of my mind.
(He is a clumsy but charming man.)
This is the third story Yeol's wife told us.
"My husband gives me a book when I am angry."
(Dizzy)
- He is so clueless. - "Read a book and calm down."
Is that your way of telling her to better herself?
I didn't give her a book. There has been a misunderstanding.
It's just a tactic of mine. When there is an argument,
I want us to have a day to ponder and resume the next day.
- Men love doing that. - That's right.
She said, "Why can't we talk now?"
So I told her what I read in a book...
and how important it is to ponder before an argument.
Then I asked, "Should I get the book for you?"
(A book taught me that.)
- I would want to throw it away. - My goodness, Yeol.
- My goodness. - You added fuel to the fire.
- Didn't she get very angry?
Tears were pouring out of my wife's eyes.
She must have been so frustrated.
- We should have talked right away. - That's the answer.
- Take a scolding with grace. - You are right.
- Then you can reconcile with her. - You are right.
- It doesn't make sense to wait. - Seriously.
- Give it an hour. - Mind your facial expressions.
You need to look as if you regret your wrongdoings.
- That's right. - He is correct.
If you just say, "I'm sorry", she will get angrier.
- You need to look like you mean it. - "I am sorry."
They usually ask,
- "Do you know why I am mad?" - It's hard to remember.
- Right. - It's hard to remember.
Tell us what happened in your previous marriage.
Gyo Jin, I heard that you cried a lot on the day you found out...
- that your wife was pregnant. - I am sure everyone cried.
It was the day she used a pregnancy test.
She was on her way to the meeting...
with a producer to sign a contract...
for a new drama.
She told me that she was feeling strange,
so I told her she should use a pregnancy test...
before signing the contract.
After a moment, she started screaming in the bathroom.
- She was happy. - Yes.
I ran into the bathroom.
- When I saw the two lines... - You cried.
- I did. - Were the lines distinctive?
I don't remember.
Do the lines come out blurry if the father is old?
Did you cry a lot?
- Yes, it was unexpected. - Of course he cried.
We had not planned the pregnancy.
Even though I had to go to work right away,
I was so happy that I cried.
I thought, "I will become a father."
I find it hard to shed tears when I act,
but I cry a lot when I talk about my wife or my daughter.
(He is happy to talk about his family.)
Since all of you became a father at a late age,
you must have been moved when your child was born.
- I am guessing Gyo Jin cried. - Yes, I did.
I am not surprised that he did.
My wife had to struggle so much.
The doctor told her that she might have to get a C-section...
since the baby was big,
but she said she wanted to give a natural birth.
- That's what your wife said. - Thus began the induced labour.
The hormone shots she got to induce a labour...
gave her pain because her womb was being contracted.
A day passed in agony.
After the second day,
the hormone shots...
were taking a toll...
on both the mother and the child.
When the doctor told her that she will have to get a C-section,
Many people get a C-section.
my wife began to cry.
I saw the pain she endured.
My goodness, why am I crying again?
- You are crying again. - Here is the tissue.
It's okay. It was expected.
- Use the tissue. - I am not crying on purpose.
It's just that she went through a lot.
Seeing my wife saddened by the prospect of a C-section...
- made me cry. - You can't help but feel for her.
Watching her was enough to make me cry.
She changed into a gown for operation,
then I watched as she walked into the operating room.
I tried hard to not cry.
"It's okay. You can do this."
After she disappeared into the room, I collapsed on the floor and cried.
- I cried so hard. - Did you really collapse?
Yes, I sat on the floor and cried.
Even now, thinking about her back before the operation...
- makes my eyes water. - My goodness.
(His wife endured hardships during childbirth.)
After childbirth, a mother's face...
gets swollen because the blood vessels burst.
- It's very heartbreaking. - The capillary vessels burst.
It's because there is a lot of pressure during childbirth.
- I know. - The capillary vessels burst.
I heard him taking out a tissue.
- I am sorry. - It's okay.
- It's okay to cry. - We understand.
- That's right. - I should not be crying.
Won Kwan, I heard that you cried in the bathroom.
At first, I didn't have time to cry.
I didn't know what was happening. Like everyone else's childbirth,
it was a very tense situation.
There was no time to feel happy or sad.
I was bubbling with worry. Then the child was born.
Next came cutting of the umbilical cord and laughter.
Tension left me as the child was brought to newborn unit.
I did not cry there,
so I had been holding back my tears.
I ran into the bathroom with tears welled up in my eyes.
Did you cry because you were thankful?
It was a mix of emotions. Happiness,
awe and worry were unleashed in an instant.
- You also felt proud of your wife. - Yes.
I cried really loudly. My mother-in-law wasn't with me,
and a nurse patted me on the back.
I cried with my back hunched.
Was the nurse old?
She was. I think she was in her 40s.
He is crying.
- Give him the tissue. - My goodness.
- At that time...
(Gyo Jin starts to cry again.)
No one in the family knows. Only I know that I cried.
Those who experienced it would know.
- Won Kwan rarely cries. - My goodness.
- Only his daughter makes him cry. - That's right.
I went to see my wife right after she gave birth,
but a nurse pulled me aside...
and asked me to come to the newborn unit.
- It was strange. - You must have been startled.
When I reached the room, a doctor greeted me.
He said that the baby showed a small irregularity.
My heart sank.
He told me that her breathing was irregular.
The doctors tell you every small problem.
When the doctor said that,
I thought something was seriously wrong with my child.
- I was so worried. - I see.
My baby was placed in an incubator,
and the doctor told me to take her to a bigger hospital.
During the ambulance ride to take her to a bigger hospital,
I sat down and prayed.
(He prayed for his daughter.)
(Tears well up in his eyes again.)
I need a tissue.
Gyo Jin is about to cry, too.
- It was really... - This is sad.
You can't help but cry.
Riding the ambulance...
(He tries to resume the story.)
(A heart-rending memory makes him shed tears.)
(Patting)
- He must have had worst thoughts. - I know.
(Won Kwan was worried that the baby would be hurt.)
(Sad)
A nurse held my hand throughout the ride.
We were moved to the intensive care unit upon arrival.
As you know, doctors always give you the worst-case scenario.
After hearing about everything that could be wrong with her,
I returned to the hospital my wife was at.
She was getting a blood transfusion.
She lost so much blood during the childbirth.
It was the third bag.
- You went through a lot. - That's why he cried.
My wife had almost fainted from losing too much blood.
When she asked me, "Is our baby all right?"
I didn't want to worry her in that situation.
So I said, "Yes, it was nothing serious."
Then I left the room immediately and took a walk.
But my wife didn't seem to be able to fall asleep...
even though she was exhausted. She kept crying.
It was crazy for a couple of days.
How are they now?
They're fine now. That's why I can talk about this.
Yoon Seok, it took you seven years until you had your son.
(He's already becoming emotional.)
- Do you want some tissues? - No, I'm not crying yet.
(Gyo Jin was about to hand Yoon Seok some tissues.)
I haven't started crying yet.
- Please tell us. - Was it an urgent situation?
Actually, we had more difficulties...
trying to get pregnant.
If we had succeeded every time we tried,
we would have a very big family by now.
Are you thinking of having more children?
I'll let my wife decide.
Because before our last try,
she said,
"I don't think I can go on. I want to give up."
She said that.
So we almost gave up thinking, "We don't have to have children."
- That's right. - "We can be happy by ourselves."
"Soo Kyung, you look very beautiful today."
That's what happened and...
- we finally succeeded. - Oh, my.
- Did the delivery go well? - No, it didn't.
My wife started to feel very strong pain.
She started to shake and it seemed like she was about to faint.
So we rushed to the hospital.
After receiving some treatment, she became stable.
So we went home and went back to the hospital the next day,
but the labour didn't seem to start.
We had to wait another day...
until she finally...
had a C-section.
Because she was still under anaesthesia,
she couldn't see our baby right away.
I had to meet our baby alone.
I still remember the moment.
Later... He's already getting the tissue for me.
We need lots of tissues today.
When she finally woke up,
she was all swollen up.
- And they shake. - Yes.
- They shake very much. - That's right.
That was a turning point for me.
- I didn't realise it until now. - I understand.
I came to admire all parents in this world.
I also found a whole new level of beauty in my wife.
If I may say, I hope you'll remember that moment.
- You're right. - Keep the moment in your heart.
Think of that moment even if your wife makes you angry.
Then, you won't have to experience what Gook Jin and I...
had to go through.
He always brings me in.
(Gu Ra never forgets to mention Gook Jin.)
For the first time, three of the guests cried on the show.
(Dads who cried)
Yoon Seok almost cried, too.
- But I didn't. - Right.
- It was because of your children. - It shows...
how much it means to you to have your children.
It's an amazing thing.
I've thought that it's humiliating to cry.
- You rarely cry. - I never do.
- It's the first time. - That's why...
when I see people crying on TV,
I usually say, "Why do they cry on TV?"
I used to hate it.
I even promised myself to never cry on TV.
Today, it was going well at first.
When Gyo Jin talked about his experience, however,
I felt something was coming up.
(We'll look forward to seeing you cry on TV again.)
Gyo Jin, this is why we were invited together.
Do you understand it now?
I feel relieved now.
Although you're new dads, you already sound like child experts.
I heard Won Kwan uses white noise to put his baby to sleep.
- White noise? - Do you use white noise?
- How does it work? - It helps babies fall asleep.
- That's right. - Yes.
When you try to put a baby to sleep,
sometimes the baby just doesn't stop crying.
- My daughter cries like crazy. - Yes.
She is totally out of control when she cries.
Remembering hearing about white noise, I turned on the hair drier.
She suddenly stopped crying and became calm.
Recently, I discovered a new method.
When a baby cries,
- prepare a plastic bag. - Okay.
As soon as...
you start rustling a plastic bag, the baby will stop crying.
I guess they're sensitive to sound.
- Can you show us? - We prepared a prop for you.
Let's say this is the baby.
Look at the way he holds the baby.
- Look at this. - Okay.
You hold the baby like this.
If she keeps crying,
you take a plastic bag...
- out of your pocket. - You had one in your pocket.
Do you carry it around?
I just keep one in my pocket.
When I try to hold my daughter right after I wash my hands,
she often starts crying.
Then I take out the plastic bag right away.
It works immediately.
I think you could use dried seaweed instead.
(That's not a bad idea.)
There's another way.
- You hold the baby like this. - Okay.
- Like that? - Hold her this way.
- Show us. - And then, shake her.
(Shaking the baby)
Hold her butt and shake her.
Shake her?
- It'll make the baby... - That's amazing.
stop crying immediately.
Doctors seem to have a way to make any baby stop crying.
- Does that really work? - It does.
I remember one time when my son was little.
You know the pirate ship ride?
There's this small one for 6 or 7-year-olds.
My son was three years old and I made him ride it.
The staff tried to stop him,
but I insisted my son should get on it.
When the ride started, he freaked out.
I said, "I'm sorry! Please stop it!"
Even something like that happened. I had no idea.
We didn't have so much knowledge back then.
I also did this a lot.
I did it all the time.
I did it all the time. Obviously, my son was scared...
but I thought he was enjoying it. So I continued.
(Dad's bungee drop)
When Yeol's wife reads a fairy tale to his son,
what often happens is...
- What is this? - that it moves him to tears.
What does this mean?
Is it because you're really moved? Or do you just cry with your son?
There's one more thing I came to realise.
Children's stories are so beautiful.
They're not only for children.
They're for the whole family.
Which story made you cry?
It was a story called "The Polar Bear Son".
There was an old Inuit woman who lived alone.
One day, she found a stray polar bear cub.
She decides to raise him.
So she tells him, "You're my son now, Kunikdjuaq."
The polar bear starts to like her very much...
and hunts seals or fish for her.
Then, her neighbours start to feel jealous...
and plan on killing him.
Fortunately, some kids tell the woman about it,
- and she decides to... - "Run away!"
send him away.
When she misses him too much, she goes out and screams,
"My son, Kunikdjuaq!"
(My son, Kunikdjuaq!)
She screams his name.
- Is that where you cried? - Then, from far away,
- the huge white polar bear... - The polar bear.
runs to hug her. It was so beautiful.
Which part made you cry?
Of course, it's there.
When she screams, "My son, Kunikdjuaq"?
I'm sure the polar bear waves back with a coke in his hand.
(I'm here!)
Don't be like that.
"My son, Kunikdjuaq!"
- It's one of the Inuit legends. - "I'm not feeling so well."
"Can you give me your gallbladder?"
What?
(Yeol is angry.)
It's a beautiful story.
"Mother, here you go."
"Take my paw as well."
Wait.
I should give them a children's book as a present.
It's so beautiful.
- He's changed so much. - His son changed him.
- How does the story end? - How does it end?
- Now, she can always scream, - He runs to her.
"My son, Kunikdjuaq!"
- And then? - What's wrong?
- Does he run to her? - What happens to the polar bear?
"My son, Kunikdjuaq!"
- He always runs to her, - Again?
- and she hugs him. - Is that it?
They hug and he brings her seals.
Is that it?
- They lived happily ever after. - They lived happily ever after.
Did you cry even though the polar bear didn't die?
What did the seals do wrong?
When he brings her seals,
- Stop. - she can give them...
to someone she admires.
- You're such bad grown-ups. - "Have some."
This is why we all need fairy tales.
(The innocent fairy, Yoo Yeol)
Gyo Jin, you said, when you were out drinking,
your wife texted you,
- and you burst into tears. - He cries so often.
Even when she was pregnant,
she never complained.
After she gave birth, she always says she's so happy.
She's always like that.
One day, I was out drinking with my friends.
My wife texted me, "I'm sorry to ask, but can you come home?"
"I'm having a hard time. I'm sorry."
I knew she never says these things normally.
When I was about to hurry home, she texted me again.
"Never mind. She fell asleep."
"You don't have to come. Have fun. I'm so sorry."
As soon as I read it, I thought,
"I married an angel."
- "How can she be so nice?" - Again?
- He'll cry again. - Imagine.
- It must have been so hard for her. - My goodness.
I did go back to my friends after all.
Did you have to go back to your friends after that?
I couldn't leave my friends like that.
"I'm touched but I need some more drinks."
Gyo Jin is already picturing his daughter's wedding.
He even plays some music in the background...
and thinks of what to say to her when she gets married.
- I can relate to you. - I picture the wedding...
and imagine how I'd feel.
- As Damien Rice's song... - "The Blower's Daughter"?
Yes, as that song plays,
I imagine myself being old and saying,
"Ha Eun, it's me."
"Now you're getting married."
I become so emotional when I think of it.
I obviously have a problem.
- Don't say that. - I think I'm crazy.
- All dads feel the same way. - I sometimes think I'm crazy.
(Daughter's daddy)
Why don't you say something to her now?
- Imagine she's grown up. - She can watch it in the future.
- My goodness. - Start.
Ha Eun, it's me.
(He's already teary-eyed.)
You're getting married soon.
When you were little...
My goodness.
- Oh, my. - It's okay. Go on.
- It's because you love her so much. - Okay.
When you were born,
I was so...
(He's getting emotional again.)
I was so thrilled.
I can't believe you're getting married already.
Goodbye.
He's all teary-eyed but he doesn't say much.
It's not...
- about what I say. - It's a conditioned reflex.
- You're right. - It's what will happen in 30 years.
This will happen in 25 to 30 years.
- Won Kwan, try. - I should sound polite.
Ah In.
It's me.
You're getting married soon.
Have a happy life...
and...
(And...)
Congratulations.
I think I know why.
They can only talk about when their daughters were born.
I'm supposed to talk about the things...
that happened between me and her,
but my daughter is only 70 days old.
She's just lying down all day.
It must be easier for Gyo Jin as he's an actor.
- Gyo Jin, give it another try. - Pardon?
Ha Eun.
(The third try)
It's your dad.
I'm talking about when you were born today.
This doesn't feel right.
- I mean... - Are you being emotional?
- You can't help becoming emotional. - These days,
I feel ashamed of myself. While driving,
I'd see a dad and a daughter on the street. Then I think,
"How sad will he be when she gets married?"
I feel like I'm going crazy.
(He reflects on himself again.)
(He loves his daughter so much.)
- I can understand him. - Gosh.
Ask him... What is it?
- My goodness. - Were you surprised by the baby?
- I was so surprised. - I put it down here.
That was scary.
- Gosh. - "Mister, what's the problem?"
Yeol came back to a radio programme after 10 years,
but I heard your son hates your programme.
He listened to the first episode.
When he woke up,
- he realised I was gone. - Right.
When he heard my voice from the radio, he hated it.
He thought I should be playing with him instead.
That's why he got angry.
- That's sad. - I know.
You're being too emotional today.
Why is it sad?
This is not how Won Kwan used to be.
They find everything sad.
(Emotional dads)
Won Kwan has a lot of funny stories to tell.
You had some aggressive fans.
Lee Sun Hee's fans and our fans...
even got into a huge fight at the time.
Our apartment had a security system.
Our fans always tried to intrude,
but it was impossible. They couldn't enter the apartment.
They simply couldn't reach us.
One day, Sang Won was just out of the shower,
and something was delivered to our apartment.
The delivery man was wearing a hood.
As it turned out, it was actually a girl.
Oh!
She must have paid the delivery man,
- so that she could see us. - She came to your house.
Sang Won shouted, "Hey!" She threw the jjamppong...
at him and ran away.
- Sang Won got a burn. - Really?
You should have ordered jajangmyeon instead.
If you had ordered cold noodles, it would have been refreshing.
At the height of your popularity,
you were used as a guinea pig in TV shows.
When Sobangcha was popular,
there was a show called "Toto Laboratory"...
where they, as an experiment,
put us in extreme situations...
such as setting fire on our butt to see how fast we can run.
- Did they really do that? - They did.
- They set fire on our butt. - Right.
- They did. - Was there any safety equipment?
Barely, but you know our name means "fire truck".
We can of course survive a fire on our butt.
- That's funny. - Actually,
they did set fire on our butt.
- First, we ran 100m. - To time it?
They timed it and then set fire on our butt.
We ran as fast as we could.
It was actually really scary.
We ran so fast.
We cut a couple of seconds off our previous record.
- We actually have the clip. - I'm sure.
- Should we watch it now? - Let's do that.
- "Toto..." - "Laboratory!"
That was Uhm Jung Hwa.
There's an expression saying, "Run as if your butt were on fire."
Today, we'll find out how fast you normally run...
and how fast you run...
when your butt is on fire.
- Wow. - What's that?
Gosh. Is that real?
(Kim Tae Hyung is running as fast as he can.)
Gosh.
- They should put it out. - What's that?
That's crazy.
- Did you really do that? - Shows these days...
- What's that? - are nothing compared to that.
- That's totally something else. - That's crazy.
- Wow. - That's intense.
- Shows these days are nothing. - How can you do that?
- That's dangerous. - That would be unacceptable now.
In another case,
they took us to a hypnotist.
We were supposed to experience our past lives, become a log...
or become numb to pain.
I was supposed to be turned into a log.
The man hypnotised me, saying, "You'll turn into a log."
I was supposed to go into hypnosis immediately.
I said, "I am a log."
He said, "Your body stiffens!"
- "Your body stiffens"? - "You're a log!"
My body was, of course, still soft.
- I tried to look stiff. - As he told you.
- You tried. - The staff lifted me...
and put me over two tables.
- I see. - Okay.
- And then someone sat on me. - On your body?
- You're not stiff yet. - And then another one sat.
I clenched my fists.
It was finished when I had three people on my body. For Tae Hyung,
- "You'll become numb to pain." - I think it'll be funny.
- "You don't feel any pain." - "You don't feel any pain"?
Tae Hyung pretended just like I did.
I thought he would just pinch his cheeks or something,
but the man suddenly held Tae Hyung's hand...
and took out a nail.
- Really? - It's true.
It was aired.
One, two, three!
Now you're completely numb.
(Although it's not a nail, the needle is very thick indeed.)
He's been under hypnosis for a while now.
The producer had to make an official apology.
(The producer had to make an official apology.)
I heard Sang Won got into a lot of trouble because of his bad English.
In 1988, we had concerts abroad.
When we got back to our hotel after the concert,
so many fans were waiting for us.
We had to order room service as we couldn't go out.
Sang Won wanted some Coke...
and tried to order it.
He said something like, "Cola, please."
The man obviously didn't understand what he meant.
The conversation went on...
and he kept saying "yes"...
the whole time.
After repeating "yes" many times, he finally hung up.
When we opened our door,
there was a line of people.
- With food? - They all came with food.
(The food kept coming in.)
As the person didn't understand the word "Cola",
he must have asked, "You mean this?"
Because he kept saying "yes",
all the food was delivered.
We had as many dishes as the number of times he said "yes".
In addition to that humiliating experience,
when he went shopping,
he always came back with full pockets.
It turned out that they were full of coins.
He was always busy counting the coins.
One day, I went shopping with him.
I was looking around...
and Sang Won decided to buy something that cost two dollars.
He paid with a 100-dollar bill.
- A 100-dollar bill? - He didn't even ask the price.
He just handed over a 100-dollar bill.
He put all the change in his pockets.
At another place, he bought something...
- that cost about a dollar. - Did he pay with a 100-dollar bill?
He paid with a 100-dollar bill again.
He paid only with 100-dollar bills.
In the end, he was left with a pocketful of coins.
(A pocketful of coins)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
As we have loving dads with us, we prepared...
"Songs I want to sing to my children".
Should we listen to Yoon Seok's song first?
I love this song.
Yoon Seok loves heavy metal music.
"The Sight of You" by B612.
Why did you choose this song?
- We have a kid now. - Yes.
I love my child of course,
but I think I love my wife even more now.
I used to be a heavy drinker and smoker,
and I used to love hanging out with friends.
But now I want to forget all about it.
Try to make your wife laugh.
- What? - Make her laugh.
- My wife? - Yes. Forget everything else.
(Forget everything else and make her laugh.)
Did Lee Gyeong Gyu say...
your career will peak when you're in your 60s?
- Did he really say that? - That's 15 years away.
I don't make people laugh every time I'm on TV...
or every time I meet someone.
But sometimes, on a good day,
I make up for it all by being funnier than they expected.
I see Gyeong Gyu very often,
- so he knows my funny side. - Because you two meet a lot.
Yes. But it took him 20 years to notice that.
So he told me that a normal person...
will need 40 years to realise I'm funny.
- By then, I'll be 60 years old. - Right.
"Hang in there until then. That will be your peak."
What do you think?
Who is less funny, you or Yoon Hyung Bin?
(Who is less funny?)
(Just kidding.)
- Who is? - Personally?
- Who is less funny? - Who is less funny?
- It's a tough question. - It is.
It's too tough.
(Killing two birds with one stone)
- He can be funny. - Yoon Seok doesn't know he's funny.
The gags he prepares aren't funny.
- Sometimes he loses his mind. - He says random things.
- That's what worries me. - That's when you're funny.
I talked to one of your writers for the pre-taping interview.
- She couldn't breathe. - Why?
- Was she laughing? - Yes.
It's true. Ask her yourself.
She's breathing fine right now.
(I'm perfectly fine now.)
Let's listen to Yoon Seok sing "The Sight of You".
("The Sight of You" by Lee Yoon Seok)
Try to make your wife laugh.
(Should I be funny or serious?)
(The music plays in the background)
(I see you have fallen asleep)
(You and I were deeply in love)
(But now our love has disappeared)
(I feel like I'm standing alone in a dark street)
(He keeps leaning forward.)
(The weight of fatherhood)
(Is he feeling the pressure of being a father?)
(The sight of you)
(The urge to be funny)
(He proved he can be funny.)
(I need to do more.)
(Your slight smile)
(I'll show you what Daddy can do.)
(When this night comes to an end)
(Standing on his toes)
(What is this noise?)
(When this night comes to an end)
(He isn't threatening at all.)
(He made us laugh.)
(The human prevailed.)
One verse is enough.
You'll die if you sing the whole song. Sit back down.
Any more will kill him.
(He'll need an ambulance.)
He had enough pride to sing in the original key.
I held back because I thought I'd get to sing the whole song.
- I thought you were passing out. - Exactly.
(He might have ended up in hospital.)
Shall we listen to the song Gyo Jin chose?
(He's moved to hear his own song.)
- You didn't have to. - No, I really...
The song is called "Send-off".
- Why... - Do you like this song?
I really think that...
- the lyrics are amazing. - Thank you.
When I listened to your songs when I was younger,
- I felt intellectual. - My songs?
I love "From January to June".
- "From January to June"? - It's a masterpiece.
Don't you know Yoo Yeol's "Autumn Rain"?
He was talking about me.
- It's a lovely song. - Don't change the topic.
- It's about time passing... - We'll talk about him later.
Let's talk about me now.
What did you play for your baby?
Your black pupils
"You Are So Beautiful".
(From Jong Shin's 10th album)
You have good taste in music.
(You have good taste.)
Yoon Seok, as soon as your child was born, did you take out...
- an expensive insurance policy? - I did.
I heard that you felt the sorrow of being a father.
I have to pay a substantial amount of money every month.
And I can't cash in for at least 14 years.
If I do, I lose at least half the premium.
- It's a variable life insurance. - Yes.
The best way to make sure that my family makes the most of it...
(For my family...)
- I have to... - At the right time...
Gosh. What is wrong with you?
Gosh.
- At the right age? - It's not about my age.
I could die tomorrow.
- This is what makes people laugh. - That's wrong.
Must you sacrifice yourself?
I'm not trying to be funny.
It's one part of the responsibility of being a father.
- Right. - Yes.
I do think about it. I took out a policy,
and I wonder what will happen if something happens to me.
It's much more expensive for people my age to take out such policies.
I mentioned that.
"I only work one day a week."
"One day I might have no work at all."
"Paying this much every month is too much."
Why don't you work at your brother-in-law's sauna?
He's a bit...
(Don't get me wrong.)
Gyo Jin, did you enter Deokchon-ri singing contest...
because of your father?
- I... - Where is that?
My father owns a company in a village called Deokchon-ri.
I was driving home to spend Chuseok with my family...
when I saw a banner flapping about.
It said something like "Deokchon-ri Singing Contest".
I saw that.
A little while later I noticed another banner.
Along with my face, it said, "Actor In Gyo Jin will appear."
"The guy famous for having affairs"
- The affair guy. - The famous one.
The banner was full of such words.
I was so embarrassed and I ended up blushing.
So I asked my father about them.
"You said I'm not famous. Why are you doing this?"
"What makes you think I'm popular?"
He said he wanted me to enter.
"People recognise you for playing a cheater."
I guess he was pleased, so I took part for his sake.
My father just loves to sing.
His father has a great voice.
My father once dreamed of becoming a singer.
(The elder son)
(The second son)
(Gyo Jin's father shows off his singing skills.)
He struggled financially shortly after I was born.
He worked during the day,
and he considered singing at a club at night for extra money.
He talked about it a lot, but my mother...
didn't think it was a good idea. So he stuck to his job.
- I see. - Gyo Jin.
I thought you were going to burst into tears.
- Are you going to? - No.
No, right? I think your tear ducts are always on red alert.
- He's a pure soul. - He is.
He's so innocent.
Did you ever burst into tears while you were dating?
- When I was dating... - Many times, I bet.
I was very moved when we decided to get married.
The editing has to be carried out carefully.
- I could look like a weirdo. - No.
Did you propose to your wife?
No, I was with E Hyun at a restaurant, and she said,
"We've known each other for a long time,"
"so let's date. Forget about it."
"We might as well get married."
So did you cry? Perhaps she was joking.
I thought about it,
and the memories we shared all started to flood my mind.
The realisation that it was finally bearing fruit was emotional.
He cries a lot.
I think I do cry a lot.
(He sacrifices himself for a laugh.)
Let's listen to Gyo Jin sing "Send-off".
"Send-off".
("Send-off" by In Gyo Jin)
(He takes a deep breath...)
(and prepares himself emotionally.)
(Like a person preparing for a long journey)
It sounds nice.
(Like someone sending another off)
(He looks like a father marrying off his daughter.)
(He falls in love with his own song.)
(His emotional gauge is rising.)
He can sing.
(It's as if he's sending off his daughter...)
(many years later.)
(Gyo Jin sings his heart out.)
(When the times comes,)
(cherished memories will flash before his eyes.)
(Someone else is getting emotional.)
(I hope that I will not change out of weariness)
(I plead with my own self)
(He might have cried in the next verse.)
You sang that very well.
He could sing in "King of Mask Singer".
- He sounds like you. - He's a baritone.
If I dare say so, the best part of your songs are...
the way you sing every word as if you really cherish them.
When I see or hear that, I realise just how much...
you thought about them...
- when you wrote the song. - Thank you.
- Do you agree with that? - He is...
I never met someone who thought so.
(I never met someone like him.)
- It's nice. - It's a nice song.
He's just a very emotional person.
- He is. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Thank you for joining us for the Crying Daddy Special.
I'd like to hear what you thought. Shall we start with you, Yoon Seok?
I acted all high and mighty...
out of the pressure of being a father,
and I think that's where it all went wrong today.
You aren't a sports commentator.
You did just fine.
We didn't expect much from you in the first place.
(His shoulders droop.)
And you, Gyo Jin?
Being on a show with other fathers...
made me think a lot about my own father.
I've been an actor for 15 years now,
and I always wanted to talk about my father on TV.
- Father. - He's right.
I love you so much. Now that I'm a dad,
I understand how you feel.
I love you, Dad. I wanted to tell him that.
- Come on our Crybaby Special. - Sure.
- If you'll let me. - Yoo Sang Moo, Yoo Sae Yoon...
(Please look forward to the Crybaby Special.)
- This meant so much to me. - Yes.
- We got closer. - I got to see you cry.
- I was shocked. - I surprised myself.
I'd like to thank the staff for creating such a great memory...
- and all of you, of course. - Thank you.
I got to meet more experienced, senior fathers...
and some inexperienced ones.
I had a great time. Thank you.
The hero of our childhood who was always there for us...
and who sorted out all our problems...
wasn't Batman or Superman. They were our fathers.
One thing that is more powerful than...
any superhero's secret weapon is...
the tear a father sheds for his family.
Thank you for showing us yours.
We will say good bye here. See you next week.
- Please! - Please!
(See you again next week!)
