This week's story on Rainbow Club.
You should take a deeper look on him.
It takes time to see a lovely side of him.
We're talking about these men who are living alone.
The pride of Mangwon-dong, Yuk Jung Wan's amazing make-over!
I'm holding a concert on my rooftop.
Before he leaves his town, Mangwon-dong,
he prepares an amazing concert for his neighbours.
(People fall in love with him.)
This is your rooftop
This man fell in love with this cute puppy.
I'm being trained!
It should be me who should make you run.
A great songwriter visits Rainbow Club.
I thought a thief was coming into this studio!
The best songwriter in Korea, Brave Brother!
The secret of his ability to make so many big hits is...
the sensitive side of him.
Once you see him, you will fall in love with his charm.
You can watch Brave Brother's interesting single life...
here on I Live Alone only!
I Live Alone, "I Am into You".
I am completely into you.
I am into Brave Brother
What should I do now?
I want to hug him
Come here, Harry.
(This Hallyu star is enjoying his long-awaited break at home.)
Look at this, Harry.
I need to work on this helicopter kit.
(He is assembling a helicopter blocks that his fans gave him.)
What do I do?
(There is an unfamiliar dog.)
Oh, I got it.
Now I'm going to assemble the bridge here.
(Fashion leader, Harry)
One of my friends has a dog.
He is on tour for his concert today.
I told him I could take care of his dog today.
So here he is. Harry is my friend's dog.
He will spend a great time with me today.
I've had seven dogs since I was in first grade of elementary school.
I know what they want only by looking in their eyes.
Harry will be very happy to spend a day with me.
I can see his happy face already.
I'm confident. I can take a good care of Harry today.
Bang!
(What is this man doing?)
No? Where are you going, Harry?
(Chi Yeul is trying to catch Harry's attention with some pet snack.)
(My mum told me to be careful of a stranger.)
Harry.
Come here.
(He scared Harry.)
Why are you scared of me?
What should I do to get closer to him?
Harry.
(Chi Yeul is now demanding some love from Harry.)
You can sit here.
Harry, why are you not looking at me?
(Harry is looking away from Chi Yeul.)
Harry.
How about this?
Look!
(Surprise)
(I thought it was food.)
(Harry is giving a hard time to this Hallyu star.)
It didn't work.
It's all done now!
(He finished assembling the kit.)
(Chi Yeul's helicopter is approaching Harry.)
What are you doing, Harry?
(Chi Yeul keeps trying hard to catch Harry's attention.)
(This is one picky dog.)
- Hello? - Hello?
You must be enjoying your free time without your dog now.
I'm sorry that I didn't call you. I was extremely busy. How's Harry?
Harry and I are doing fine.
Really? That's great.
- By the way, - Yes?
does Harry usually act like this when you call his name?
He won't react much. He's picky.
I will take him for a walk and feed him well.
- Thank you! - No problem.
What are you going to do if Harry doesn't want to go back home?
I'm going to try everything I can do to get along with him.
Then you can take care of him more often.
(Then you can take care of Harry more often.)
Okay, good luck!
- Thank you. - All right!
Come here.
(Chi Yeul was bluffing on the phone.)
There is a way to get close to a dog.
Someone said, "Be a dog yourself."
(Be a dog to play with your dog.)
So should I become a dog?
(So should I become a dog?)
Express love to your pet by giving some massage.
Wow, let's try this.
(Yoga with dogs)
Bend your right leg.
(He's trying yoga with Harry.)
Massage the belly like this.
I love you,
Harry.
Lower him between your legs.
(Chi Yeul is doing his best.)
Are you feeling good, Harry?
(Okay, your massage is good.)
Get some rest now.
I need to clean this place.
(Messy)
Have a sit here, Wilson.
(Chi Yeul's place used to be neat.)
It looks great.
The letters from my fans are wet.
(Welcome to a haunted house.)
Good, these ones didn't get wet.
Let me take them to a better place.
(My fan letters are precious.)
(Winter is over. It's time to put the tent away.)
(A water puddle on the tent drops.)
(Harry is guarding the house alone.)
(He is nervous.)
(Harry might be doing fine alone, right?)
You came to greet me?
(Harry came out to him with a toy in his mouth.)
Harry.
Harry!
Did you wet the carpet?
(It's wet.)
I need to wash it.
I've already got tons to do other than this.
(Unexpected laundry work is added to his house chore duty.)
(I'm okay with this though.)
(The floor is slippery.)
(Barking)
What's wrong?
I'm busy because of you!
(I'm a cold dog.)
He doesn't react to my voice.
When I try to hug him, he started growling.
When Harry sees some food,
he should be getting excited for it.
But he doesn't react much.
He turns his eyes away from me.
It was hard for me.
Let's go for a walk.
(Chi Yeul decided to go outside to win Harry's heart!)
Don't worry, Harry. I will drive slowly for you.
(Harry is in my arms.)
I'm used to riding my bike alone.
It feels strange to ride with you.
Being with someone is amazing.
I like it.
(Harry doesn't care.)
(I like being with you, although this is a one-way love!)
You can come out now.
Good job, Harry.
(They're excited.)
(Harry is hopping lively.)
(Chi Yeul copies Harry.)
(Harry is busy sniffing.)
Do you smell something?
(Let me sniff, too.)
What kind of smell are you sensing?
(How does it smell here?)
(He was only a choosing a spot.)
(I feel fresh.)
(Harry pulls the leash.)
(I want to run.)
This is exciting, right?
(Are you excited?)
(Harry starts running fast.)
Wait a minute.
It looks like you're training me!
Why are you doing this to me?
(You are training me now.)
(Chi Yeul is on tough training under Harry's coach.)
I'm tired.
Slow down.
(Doesn't it feel great to run?)
(Chi Yeul is already drained.)
I'm exhausted.
(They're surprised.)
There's another dog.
Hello, friend.
(He's approaching to Harry quickly.)
He wants to play with you!
Wow, this is amazing.
Oh, dear.
I'm older than you. Behave yourself.
Oh, dear!
He's got a great personality!
(He's very active and reckless.)
Give me your hand.
(He jumps into Chi Yeul.)
Give me your hand.
(My goodness)
- Let's go. - Wow, what a powerful dog!
- Let's go. - Bye!
Let's go back home, Harry.
We had enough run.
You made me workout today.
This is heavy.
(He went grocery shopping for Harry.)
We had a lot of fun, didn't we?
It's time to eat.
You can come out now.
(You can come out of the bag now.)
You seem very comfortable.
Are you feeling comfortable?
Harry?
You like to get lazy, don't you?
Right, Harry?
(Harry wanted to stay in the bag longer.)
Let's take a shower first.
(Let's take a shower first.)
Take your leg out.
Good job!
Well done, Harry.
Well done.
(Chi Yeul is being careful not to scare Harry.)
Let me give you some massage.
(This is a special care for you.)
It's warm. Put your legs here.
It's warm.
(Lower-body bathing is available, too.)
You're doing great.
It's so warm that you feel sleepy now.
(Harry feels sleepy.)
It's done now.
Look at you.
Are you giving me a hug?
(Chi Yeul is so touched.)
Harry wants to hug me.
You have such a beautiful hair.
(Harry has shiny and sleek hair.)
What a good dog.
(Chi Yeul makes sure that...)
(Harry's hair is dry enough otherwise Harry will catch a cold.)
(Harry is having a relaxing day thanks to Chi Yeul.)
I'm going to cook amazing meal.
(He starts preparing supper.)
Today's menu is braised chicken.
(Get rid of the smell by sinking it into some milk.)
(Clean vegetables.)
(Make some marinade for the chicken.)
(Boil the vegetables and the marinade together.)
(I need to feed Harry now.)
I don't know what you like, Harry.
So I prepared buffet for you.
(It's a buffet.)
(Buffet?)
The first meal I prepared is...
pollack and chicken breast.
(This is pollack and chicken breast.)
I can't give you too much.
(Next dish is some rabbit meat.)
And the next dish is...
(This is a canned beef.)
This is beef tendon.
This is beef tendon stick!
(And a dog bone shaped snack is ready, too.)
(What a big supper.)
(Harry is experiencing a whole new world.)
(Chi Yeul's braised chicken is ready, too.)
It looks delicious.
(Harry is waiting for Chi Yeul.)
I'm almost ready.
(Harry starts eating.)
It's hot.
(Harry is tasting only the surface of the food.)
Let me help you, Harry.
Here you go.
(Let me chop it so that you can eat it easily.)
You should say, "Thank you for the meal!"
Thank you for the meal!
Okay. Help yourself.
(Chi Yeul is having a big bite of a drumstick.)
(Drooling)
(Harry is looking at it mournfully.)
(Eat your own meal.)
(They look great...)
(together.)
In the beginning, Harry was avoiding me.
He pushed me away.
But as we spend more time together,
I think he gradually opened up to me.
While we were eating, I saw him looking at me.
So I called, "Harry, come here!"
Then he approached me. It was a very touching moment.
If I get a chance,
I would see him time to time.
(Harry gets busy all of a sudden.)
(He is moving here...)
(and there.)
Do you want to poop?
(Harry peed on Chi Yeul's mat instead.)
(He laughs.)
Harry, not again!
(I was eating and now I'm cleaning.)
(Harry is shy.)
Come here.
(Come here, Harry)
t's okay. Come here.
(Chi Yeul wants to make Harry feel better.)
(Harry is approaching him.)
(Patting)
(Thank you for opening your heart to me, Harry.)
(The Rainbow Live)
(Sangam-dong, New MBC building)
- Hello. - Hello, everyone.
Oh, dear.
- Winter is finally over. - Yes!
Yes, winter is over before we even knew it.
Good-bye, winter.
Okay.
In spring, in my case,

He acts like a comedian.
I can't believe he is a musician.
We shouldn't forget to mention this person when we talk about music.
- As a DJ, - Yes?
I hear a lot of music written by this person.
- You mean he writes great hits? - That's correct.
Is that a hint about today's guest?

Wow, G-DRAGON.

(Who will join Rainbow Live today?)

(Surprise)
- Who's that? - Who...
- I'm sorry. - I thought he was a thief!
I was scared!
- Gosh. - You scared us!
We forgot to mention Brave Brother!
(The voice of Brave Sound)
(He is a pioneer of music trend.)
(His songs are representing K-pop.)
You seem that you haven't practised enough. That's upsetting.
Are you scared of me?
(He's famous for harsh critiques.)
To be honest, I didn't like it at all.
(Songwriter and producer, Brave Brother)
Please welcome Brave Brother.
- Welcome. - Wow.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm Brave Brother. I'm a music producer.

- Your real name is Kang... - It's Kang Dong Chul.
- Your real name is Kang Dong Chul? - Kang Dong Chul.
- Is it Kang Dong Chul? - Sometimes...
It's Kang Dong Chul.
I feel awkward to be called by my real name.
I've been Brave Brother for 17 years.
The name Kang Dong Chul suits your face better.
- Hey, Dong Chul. - Doesn't it suit him really well?
He looks like a detective.
- Detective Kang Dong Chul. - Detective Kang Dong Chul.
Earlier, I said that he wrote so many hits.
Do you know all of his songs?
Since they're hits,
- I'd recognise if I hear them. - There are so many of them.

(Thump)
Looking at him closely
- I still can't figure out - I still can't figure out
One, two...
- Is it GFRIEND's dance? - No way.
- No, it isn't. - You make my heart flutter
(The studio is shaking.)
(Please don't ruin my song.)
It's "Heart Attack".
- Did you make that song, too? - Yes, I did.
- Aren't you curious? - We are curious.
- I can't wait to watch his video. - Okay.
- Let's watch Brave Brother's life. - Let's watch.
The Rainbow Live.
(At Brave Brother's house in Jungnang-gu)
He lives in Jungnang-gu?
Wow, what a great view.
It's beautiful.
- That's a big family bed. - People with babies...
use that kind of bed.
- My goodness. - That's my puppy.
(Tossing about)
(I must have worked too hard yesterday.)
(There's only a bed in the room.)
Come here.
It must be too bright in the morning because there's no curtain.
It looks like a studio apartment.
(Is Brave Brother living in a studio apartment?)
Follow me.
(He comes out of the bedroom.)
(There's a large living room.)
There are curtains in his living room.
- His house is huge. - My goodness.
- Is that really a house? - Look at that.
- What's that? - Isn't that a guest house?
- My goodness. - That's a room.
I want to rent a room in his house.
It looks like a show house.
(A luxurious kitchen and a large living room)
- Wow. Look at that action figure. - It's huge.
(There is a human-sized action figure...)
(and cute ornaments.)
(He opens the curtains.)
(The house has a great view over the city.)
Hello.
I'm Brave Brother, a music producer who has lived alone for 13 years.
I started to live by myself for my career as a songwriter.
When I was a child, I would make troubles all the time.
When I seemed to have become mature, I said I'd become a hip-hop artist.
My parents didn't understand me.
I argued with my parents almost every day.
I had conflicts with my father.
I thought it wouldn't work like that.
So I rented a tiny abandoned factory...
to live in and started to work on my music.
That's when I started living alone.
I wonder what you were like as a child.
- Were you playful or timid? - I think he was playful.
I was a troublemaker.
- I went down a dark path. - What?
What do you mean?
- You know... - You mean like a gang...
Like a gang member?
- A gang member. - How long have you been...
I dropped out of school, and went to a correctional facility...
- when I was 17 years old. - I see.
After that, I went down the dark path.
When I was 21 years old, I wanted to become a songwriter.
- My life changed completely. - That's when you started to...
live in an abandoned factory?
- That's right. - You were determined, right?
- Yes, I was. - There must've been a reason.
- Did you always like music? - No, it's not like that.
One day, I happened to hear a song.
I thought...
- You wanted to make songs? - I thought I could do a good job...
if I were to make that kind of songs.
I felt confident that I could be the best in the world.
Was that the first time you had confidence?
Yes, it was.
(He felt confident for the first time in his life.)
I didn't take a single step out of my house for 2 or 3 years.
- I enjoyed making songs. - You wanted to achieve your dream.
- It was so fun. - I see.
I was confident that I would become successful by making songs.
(He felt the joy that he had never felt before.)
You peed. Bben Jji.
(Bben Jji is startled.)
(He starts a day by cleaning Bben Jji's toilet pad.)
Follow me.
- Wow. - His house is...
- really amazing. - It looks like a school.
- It really looks like a school. - There's a hallway in his house.
Doesn't it look like a hallway in a hotel?
Bben Jji might get lost in his own house.
Even if your puppy poops somewhere else, you wouldn't know.
Why didn't you poop?
You didn't poop.
- He hasn't found it. - Bben Jji must've pooped somewhere.
Come here.
(How did he know?)
Bben Jji, come over here. You shouldn't pee here.
(Bben Jji pretends he didn't do it.)
Come here.
(He spends the morning with Bben Jji.)
Come here.
I'll throw this. Fetch.
Bben Jji, fetch the doll.
- Good dog. Fetch it. - He doesn't need to go out.
- The house is big enough... - Fetch it.
for him to exercise.
Come on. Run, run.
You could lose weight just by cleaning the house.
Brave Brother looks small in that house.
Fetch this.
Fetch the doll.
Run.
Fetch it.
(Bben Jji exercises properly.)
Fetch it. Bring the doll.
Good job. Good dog.
Good dog.
You did a good job.
(He lives alone with a puppy in this huge house.)
Well done.
You're excited. You're really excited.
You're excited.
Come here. I'll give you a snack.
Bben Jji, come here. I'll give you a snack.
(There's a food storage next to the kitchen.)
- My goodness. - Wow.
- What's that place? - What kind of storage is that?
I store food in there.
- You're prepared for war? - That's right.
Here's your snack.
How adorable.
Let's go.
Eat it on the sofa.
(It's yummy.)
You don't have much furniture.
(His house looks empty somehow.)
I like keeping my hose neat...
and simple.
I lived in a very small house...
when I was a child.
So I like being in a wide, empty place.
Now I'm used to keeping it simple.
How many rooms do you have? When we were children,
we used to brag about our houses.
It's a unique house with two living rooms...
- and two kitchens. - There are two living rooms?
- There are two kitchens? - On this show, we've seen...
a lot of luxurious houses of celebrities.
He has the most luxurious house we've ever seen.
He has two living rooms. The number of rooms doesn't matter.
How did you feel when you started living alone?
Back then, I literally lived in a factory.
- A factory? - Yes.
- It was an abandoned factory... - Right.
- on the basement level. - I see.
- An abandoned underground factory. - There was nothing on the floor.
- It was a concrete floor. - I see.
I lived in the factory only with my musical instruments...
and a mattress.
That's how I lived.
It was so humid in the factory.
My clothes were wet when I woke up in the morning.
I got sick easily.
- It's not good for health. - That's right.
Don't you think...
that you were even more determined to become successful...
- because you had been poor? - Yes. That's true.
You must've wanted to show off your success.
I had always dreamed of living in a large house.
- I understand. - I think...
I will keep looking for a bigger house.
- I understand. - Right.
- You went through a hardship. - I think...
- I became obsessed with... - I understand.
becoming successful.
- Right. - Yes.
(Brave Brother is taking a break on the sofa.)
(He puts something out.)
What?
- What's that? - He's cleaning?
What are you doing with your nails?
Good dog.
- It looks like nail polish remover. - I'm doing nail care.
You do nail care?
- Yes. - My goodness.
- Why would you do that? - He's so weird.
(Concentrating)
(Blowing)
- He's doing better than me. - Really?
Don't people go to a nail salon?
I do it myself only when I'm too busy to go to a nail salon.
That doesn't suit your looks.
This is the most shocking scene I've ever seen this year.
If it was Han Chae A, I wouldn't be surprised.
- I never thought I'd talk about... - This is so funny.
- nail care with Brave Brother. - Me, neither.
(He looks very feminine.)
(He calls his mother while doing nail care.)
- Hi, my baby. - Hello?
- Baby? - My goodness.
I can't bear to watch this.
I sent you the money for the living cost as you asked.
Thank you.
Have you had breakfast?
Yes. Have you?
No, I haven't.
You should eat something.
I will.
- I will call you again. - Okay. Bye.
Bye.
(He calls someone else after talking to his mother.)
- Hello? - Hello?
Where are you now?
I'm heading back to the office after a meeting.
How did you decide on that matter we talked about?
- We hired a freelancer... - I mean the photoshoot.
- to do the job. - Okay.
I bet he had no idea...
- that you were doing nail care. - He's the vice president.
He'll crack up when he sees this.
On her SNS...
I can't believe he's doing that.
Doesn't he look hasty drying his nails?
- I need them to dry quickly. - Right.
We'll finish it soon.
(Brave Brother hears the report.)
Okay. We'll talk about it again at the meeting.
- I understand. - I'll call you again.
- I'll keep you posted on this. - Okay.
(He sounds like a tough guy.)
(But he acts like a little girl.)
He looks like a little girl.
(My nails are precious.)
- Why does your mum call you Baby? - When we talk on the phone,
she always calls me baby.
- So I just play along. - I see.
But when she does that in a public place, I'm embarrassed.
- She does that in a public place? - Yes, she does.
She even called me baby in front of my employees.
(His mother calls him baby in front of his employees.)
- That's funny. - I felt so embarrassed...
- "Oh, my baby." - I wanted to hide myself.
- But your mother must... - I can see...
- the employees giggling. - I can imagine that.
I felt so embarrassed.
I pretended I didn't hear that.
Did she call you baby when you were a troublemaker?
No, she didn't.
(Oh, my goodness)
I think she did call me baby.
But she yelled at me like this. "My baby!"
- "My baby!" - "My baby!"
- Really?
Then, she would say...
"Go out and do something with your life".
- She called you baby then, too. - Yes.
Come here, Bben Jji.
(Brave Brother finished doing nail care.)
I need to eat now.
(It's time to eat.)
(He knows what to take out from the refrigerator.)
Do you cook often at home?
- Yes, I eat at home a lot. - You do?
- Do you cook yourself? - Yes, I like cooking.
I can cook fried rice and jjigae.
(He enjoys listening to ballads from the 90s.)
(He cooks skilfully.)
Look at him.
He looks very skilful.
(He must've developed his cooking skills while living alone.)
(It looks yummy.)
It looks delicious.
(It looks delicious.)
(It's good.)
(He packs the leftover ingredients.)
It seems like you've done this a lot before. Am I right?
- He's so meticulous. - He's very clean.
Usually, people don't clean right after cooking.
- Oh, my. - However...
- Look at that plate. It's pretty. - Doesn't it look delicious?
- It looks good. - It really looks delicious.
It tastes really good.
(He prepares breakfast easily.)
- Oh, my goodness. - Wow.
That's ridiculous.
If you eat food from the container,
- it'll go bad quickly. - That's right.
I learned that, too.
I put the side dish on a plate.
- You should put some on a plate. - I need to keep it longer.
I didn't expect you to use a pretty plate like that.
He's like a housewife.
(The housewife is cooking skilfully.)
(He makes egg soup so easily.)
(Slurping)
(He's satisfied.)
(He puts the soup in a pretty bowl, too.)
(It's a feast.)
(He starts eating.)
Watching him eating on that table,
it feels like he's lonely as the table is too big.
(Although he's having a delicious meal,)
(he looks lonely eating alone on a big table.)
(It's okay, Dad. You have me.)
(He finishes his meal in an instant.)
(It was so delicious that my eyes got teary.)
(He cleans the table right after eating.)
- It shows his personalities. - He's very neat.
I can see how neat he is.
Bben Jji, come here.
(Bben Jji comes up to him.)
Good dog.
Come here. Good dog.
(He's washing the dishes.)
You're adorable.
(He washes the dishes cleanly.)
- Look at his chopping board. - He has so many.
He uses different chopping boards for different ingredients.
- Because of the smell? - Yes.
(He wipes the sink, too.)
I'm done.
(He is good at household chores.)
- My goodness. - Men don't usually do that.
- That's what my mum does. - I put the cloth under it...
- because water drains out of it. - Right.
Bben Jji, come here.
(He starts doing nail care again.)
You're so adorable.
Good dog.
I'm going to take a shower. You want to take a shower, too?
Do you want to take a shower?
(Running away)
(The towels are folded like in a hotel room.)
(He's clean and neat.)
(He turns out to be very different from how he appears outside.)
(What is he going to do now?)
- Oh, my goodness. - Is that a scented candle?
Why are you lighting the candle?
I light a scented candle before I go out.
(It's for sanitisation and dehumidification.)
(He's wearing black from head to toe.)
(A man in black in the white house)
- You should say goodbye to me. - Are we watching "Home Alone"?
You should say goodbye to me.
Bben Jji, I'm going out now.
- Your socks seem different. - They're half socks.
- Why do you wear them? - The socks cover half of the feet.
Why do you wear them?
- They don't cover the heels. - Because my heels can breathe.
I sweat a lot, too.
Your heels might get scratched.
No, they don't.
(What other unexpected charms does Brave Brother have?)
We really enjoyed your video.
That was amazing.
You may have made your parents worry when you were a child.
But you must be a good son now.
Yes, I am.
I think it's amazing.
- It must be hard to believe. - He started with nothing,
- and ended up becoming successful. - My mother cried a lot...
as I became successful. She still cries a lot.
- Even now? - When she thinks of my past.
(His mother cries when she thinks of the hard time.)
I'm a Christian.
When I pray, I promise...
- that I will help... - Wait a second.
- You want to help people in need? - Are you really a Christian?
I've been a Christian my entire life.
(I've been a Christian my entire life.)
- Is that true? - Yes.
- I didn't know. - Right.
(He's a devout Christian.)
Let's watch...
- Let's call him baby. - Let's watch the baby's life.
- Let's watch his daily life. - Let's find out.
Let's watch "The Baby Lives Alone".
("The Baby Lives Alone")
- That's funny. - Let's watch.
(Will he continue to be cute on his way to work?)
- Wow. - Wow.
- Is he sitting in the back seat? - What time should we get there?
Look at his car.
(The curtain closes automatically, and there's a wide space inside.)
It's like a first class seat in an air plane.
You can recline the back seat?
(Smiling)
- Hello? - It's me. Where are you now?
(He starts working as soon as he gets in the car.)
We should send the song, right?
I'll ask them when they need it.
When should we send it? I'll talk to them now.
How did you decide?
- Are you in Hong Kong now? - Yes, I am.
I'll send it to you via email by tomorrow.
He has a lot of work to do.
Hello?
I was wondering if Hye Ran lost weight. She still looks plump.
I've been trying to keep her from eating too much.
But I think she eats at night secretly.
I told her about this though.
Okay. I'll talk to her later.
Okay. Would you like me to send her photos now?
You mean her photos getting caught eating?
Yes, I have her photos eating at night.
- Send me those pictures. - Okay.
(He arrives at his office in Yeoksam-dong.)
I bet that you own that building.
(Nodding)
(He walks to the entrance made for his exclusive use.)
- Fingerprint recognition failed. - What?
Fingerprint recognition failed.
Gosh.
Fingerprint recognition failed.
(A passer-by looks at him suspiciously.)
Fingerprint recognition failed.
- He's here to rob. - He's a thief.
(Embarrassed)
He looks like a thief.
(He barely managed to enter the building.)
- What's that? - You have your own escalator?
That's my dream.
- I can't believe this. - No one else can use the escalator?
No.
It's amazing.
(It's amazing.)
(He gets in the elevator that is for his exclusive use.)
(He goes straight up to his office on the top floor.)
(He turns on the switches.)
- What's that? - My goodness.
That's very expensive.
All of them are expensive.
(Showing off their great features,)
(the super heroes in the movies appear.)
(There's a collection of fashionable items...)
(that Brave Brother likes.)
(Welcome to the Brave Brother Museum.)
- That's awesome. My goodness. - Look at that skull.
Is that made of diamonds?
- Some of them are diamonds. - Oh!
- Dong Wan doesn't have that many. - That's right.
Even Robert Downey Jr. must not have that many action figures.
(Even the actor who played Iron Man must not have that many.)
(It's the most luxurious office in the world.)
(Knock, knock)
- Hi, Min Jung. - Hello.
Come and have a seat.
Which picture do you like, Min Jung? We'll put it on our website.
I like this one.
You suggested I put on a red lipstick.
You do the other works other than making songs.
- He's a businessman. - Yes.
- You took a lot of great pictures. - Thank you.
- It's because she's a good model. - That's right.
- He's a good photographer. - They look great together.
Let's pick one of these pictures.
Put four pictures on our website.
About a month later, we could...
- change her pictures. - Okay.
Let's talk about this again later.
- Sir... - Yes?
Do you have nail polish on?
(He is startled.)
- Why? - Did you put nail polish on?
No, it's strengthener.
(It's not nail polish, it's nail strengthener.)
- It doesn't suit you. - It doesn't suit me?
It's like a baby's hand.
It's shiny.
- Your ring... - I was just doing dishes earlier...
Your ring looks like an old lady's ring.
An old lady's ring? I'm sure it's probably expensive.
She has no taste at all.
- She doesn't have good taste. - A grandma would love that.
I think you like a lot of feminine stuff.
I guess so.
He's the president but he can't look her in the eyes.
- I feel awkward with women. - Do you?
He really can't look at her.
I don't know why,
(I don't know why.)
but I can't look at women in their eyes.
Even when my mum or my sister...
look in my eyes...
and say that they love me, I get goosebumps all over.
I just run away. I'm like that.
I think I'm shy.
(I'm a shy man.)
We should meet again next week.
We should go down and check.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Get going and organise it well.
- Okay? - Okay.
(Where is he going after the meeting?)
- Where is this? - It's a private theatre.
What on earth?
(It's a private theatre.)
(He frequently visits this room in order to monitor new songs.)
(He's focusing on work.)
(Now he's organising ideas.)
(Since it's a private theatre, it has its own lift.)
Is this a lift that only you can use?
Yes, but I have to walk down.
Why did you walk down?
It only works when going up.
- It doesn't go down. - It can't go down?
- You have to earn more money. - No, no...
Hold on.
- Listen to me. - Okay.
If I want to go down, you have to press the switch again.
- I see. - That will change it.
You have to change the switch, but you're too lazy.
Yes, I regret putting that in there.
When I think of it now...
- They call it "show-off". - Yes.
- Yes, I think I was showing off. - It's showing off.
I want to rip it out and sell it, but I don't think anyone would buy.
No one will buy it.
Can I use it to go up to my rooftop?
Are you insane?
He's going crazy with the wedding coming up.
He's losing it.
(Where is Brave Brother off to next?)
(It's a studio in Nonhyeon-dong.)
Seriously?
Why doesn't the door open wherever I go?
(Brave Girls are practising.)
- Hello. - Hello.
(They're greeting their boss.)
(He's not satisfied.)
He's scary.
(She's nervous.)
Did you all eat?
- We had salad. - We had salad.
Salad? I heard you ate sandwiches.
Including chocolate.
If you're not going to listen, go do whatever you want.
I said you could eat whatever you want if you're confident...
that you can be fit and look good on television.
Hye Ran, you're gaining weight.
(Startled)
Do you have to check their diet?
This isn't something I should nag about.
- They should try harder. - It's like a war for girl groups.
Yes. It's their life on the line.
That's true.
But I think it would be so sad.
They should have just had some pork.
They get yelled at for eating a sandwich?
Listen. If they had pork, they would be kicked out.
They should have gotten delivery food.
- Just a sandwich? - If they're going to be caught...
(He feels a little sorry.)
What you have to do now is practice.
Effort, practice.
You have to give your best effort.
If the public can see that,
that will move them and they will love you.
Just remember that there are many staff working...
to help support you.
- Yes. - They stay up all night to work.
- Got it? - Yes.
If you disappoint us,
those people that worked so hard will end up working for nothing.
There was no reason.
It doesn't matter to me, because you're always pretty to me.
You're my babies.
(You girls are my babies.)
- While you're preforming, - Okay.
just try to fight through and eat all you want later on.
- Okay. - I'll fill up the room with food.
Okay?
(Sneaking)
What are you doing?
We want to give you the cake we didn't eat.
- What? - That's right.
Hey, I don't want it.
No, we got it...
- for Valentine's Day. - Now he must feel bad.
- Of course I do. - He would feel bad.
It's awkward to be happy about it too.
We wanted to make it for you, but...
(Sniffing)
It's not rotten.
Okay, thank you.
(He thanked them quietly.)
- I have to go, I'm busy. - Okay, bye.
Although you're really scary, I'm sure they know you mean well.
- Bye. - Okay.
Have you ever thought about this?
Have you thought about how it would be if Brave Girls sang...
"Like a Cat", "Miniskirt" or "Heart Attack"?
At that time, the girls weren't ready.
There is a time for everything.
- That's interesting. - There could be a good song,
but the kids might not be ready.
That's what happened with SISTAR's "Alone".
("Alone" by SISTAR was that song.)
Goodness. Why didn't you save it?
- The thing with music is... - The timing is important.
And of course there is a good match between artists and songs.
That's right.
And it was a perfect match with SISTAR.
I guess it's different to write music and to manage talent.
Yes, just because you're good at producing, you can't write it all.
- Right. - Many elements have to be in line.
Including luck.
I'm still in the learning process...
of running an entertainment business.
(Where will Brave Brother find new experiences?)
(It's the set of a music video shoot.)
(Including current singers...)
(and upcoming artists are all managed.)
(In the middle is Silento.)
Silento?
- He sang "Watch Me". - I know him.
He created a buzz with a dance called Nae Nae Dance.
He became popular through his music video.
He has about 700 million views.
I produced his music,
and sang for him.
- You produced? - Yes, I produced as well.
(As the shooting continues,)
(his gaze intensifies.)
They should dance better.
- Sorry? - They should dance better.
Go sort it out.
And also, is this all the lighting you have?
Why does it look so empty on the sides?
Hi, what's up?
How are you, Brave Brother?
(A friendly greeting between a producer and an artist)
Did you like that video?
I need a translator.
(Go get me a translator.)
- I thought you were close. - Aren't you two friends?
But I still need a translator.
You did well.
(Patting)
Can you ask him to promote it when he goes back to his country?
Sure.
Yes.
(Trustworthy)
Yes.
You should get ready for the next set.
We're ready. Stand by.
Good luck.
(Brave Brother is mighty.)
(I believe in you.)
(Next schedule is at the office in Seocho-dong.)
- Is this a different office? - It's another office.
How many buildings do you have?
(How many buildings do you have?)
(He seems a little tired.)
- Hello. - Hi.
You can get back to work.
Is the schedule up?
Is the schedule for "Show! Music Core" not out yet?
It's not updated yet, is it?
No, I'll do it soon.
I think you're a workaholic.
Yes, I think I'm obsessed.
I think I tend to force myself a lot.
How long has it been since you last took a vacation?
Over 10 years.
It's been about 15 years.
You didn't even go to Jeju Island?
I've never been to Jeju Island.
(He has never gone to Jeju Island.)
People don't really know how much money goes into...
running a business like that.
Including payroll for my staff...
- every month. - It must be a lot.
And doing the finances for training and forming a group is...
Whenever it's time to do our budgets, my head bursts.
But there's nowhere for me to go and talk about it.
It's something I started. It's my work.
That's what bothers me the most.
(Brave Brother is meeting someone at his restaurant...)
(to take a break and clear his head.)
- You even own a restaurant? - Yes.
- I'm so tired. - Me too.
You're tired too? That's because you drink too much.
You drink until two in the morning.
- I'll have what I always have. - Okay.
- I want what I always have. - Okay.
(Give me my usual.)
- And one of this. - Okay.
(What does Brave Brother always have?)
(It's pasta.)
Here is the pasta.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
It's good.
(It's time to enjoy.)
(Two big men)
I like this.
But you look like the type that would eat soondaeguk.
I like soondaeguk, but I really like pasta.
After my meeting in Yeoksam-dong...
I listened to all the music.
I also went to the Nonhyeon-dong studio to see the kids.
You need to delegate your work.
You're tired because you're doing all the work.
I'm just saying.
I know. I agree.
(He agrees.)
You can live your life with just the money you earn from copyrights.
Because it's my dream to be a producer.
After I started writing music and producing, I hoped that...
I would become a good producer who can produce a talented group...
with great music. That has been my dream.
I also want to become the best producer.
Not just in Korea, but worldwide.
I think I will continue to try until I die.
I'll keep challenging myself.
You should try writing a ballad.
For people our age.
I should write it sometime.
- I don't have the courage yet. - You wrote a ballad song before.
Who knows? You might be talented in producing ballads.
You never know.
You're right.
Since I like songs from 80s and 90s...
Isn't your dance music kind of sad, too?
Yes, they're all sad.
They're all in minor chords.
You know...
- Do you mean "Journal"? - Yes.
- I'm too embarrassed to release it. - Why?
I like it the most out of all your songs.
- I... - It's the best out of your songs.
The thing with me is that, I have a genre.
- Still... - I don't know how they will react.
So I get scared.
- "Journal"? - Is it ballad?
- Is the title "Journal"? - Yes.
- It's called "Journal". - The title is already...
"Journal" sounds...
I'm not attracted by it.
- I won't let you listen to it then. - Come on.
- Okay, okay.
- Come on. - No, I...
- Baby, baby. - I gathered my courage for this.
- Okay. - Why did you do that to him?
I'm just making it that much more interesting.
- Let's listen to it now. - All right.
Let's listen.
- Do it. - Come on.
- I'll just play it. - Okay.
When did you make this?
I think it's been two years.
- Is it first time on air? - Yes, it's the first time.
- So we're the first to hear it. - What's funny is...
I made it having someone in mind...
but I couldn't get myself to actually send the song.
- Who? - Why? because you're shy?
- Let's listen to it first. - Lee Seung Chul.
- This will go viral.
Well...
I'm still not confident.
Why not?
Louder.
(Brave Brother shyly presents the song.)
I can already feel it.
(The only ballad song he composed)
(He's nervous.)
(He wrote the song having one person in mind.)
(They're listening to the melody.)
(I couldn't finish writing my journal)
(The story is blurred)
(Because of my tears)
(It's ripping apart just like my heart)
(Dot, dot, dot, that's all I wrote)
(And the love ended)
(It leaves an aftertaste.)
I can picture Lee Seung Chul singing.
Just listening to it, I can picture Lee Seung Chul singing the song.
- Me too. - I was imagining it, too.
I think he knows exactly how Lee Seung Chul sings.
- I think he will call you. - His manager or someone will see.
What will you do if Lee Seung Chul calls you?
Of course I can send it to him and let him hear it.
But I'm just really embarrassed about this song.
- Have you considered anyone else? - No, not for this song.
Not for this one.
- He has pride for this song. - He must.
(He's on his way home after a long day.)
- Hello? - It's me.
- Yes. - Did you have dinner?
Yes, I did.
I ate what you bought me last time.
Did you?
How are your eyes?
It's still the same.
You have to take the prescription.
Stop thinking that it's bad and take the medication.
You have to think positive.
It gets worse because you keep on thinking that it's bad.
(He's nagging at his father.)
Don't worry. It'll get better.
Okay, I'll drop by later.
- Okay. - Bye.
It looks like you call your parents quite often.
I try to call them at least once a day.
- Yes. - Hello?
- Yes. - Where are you?
I'm at the office.
Don't eat.
- I might have to go to Urim Market. - I know where Urim Market is!
- Where is it? - Really?
Should I bring some food to eat with beer?
Anything is fine.
Okay, I'll just buy some food then.
Okay.
Tell everyone not to eat.
- Okay. - Bye.
(He had another long day.)
(He relaxes for a moment.)
(He'll meet his friends.)
I tire myself out.
This line of work is really hard.
But I usually don't think of it as work.
It's what I like. I love listening to music.
I just enjoy life.
Bben Jji.
(He went grocery shopping and came home.)
Come here.
- He must have been bored. - Poor Bben Jji.
- He's so happy. - Look at him.
He's so excited.
- He was so lonely. - My goodness.
He must have been so bored all by himself.
Let me wash my hands.
(Washing)
You always wash your hands when you get home.
This is one of the two kitchens, right?
- Yes. - That's amazing.
Eat it.
- What's that? - Gosh.
- He's looks so cute on screen. - He's cute.
All I can see is Bben Jji.
(His friends finally arrive.)
How do you know these friends?
- How long have you known them? - Since middle school.
- Since middle school? - We made trouble together.
(They were troublemakers.)
Sit, sit.
(Son Gil Tae, Kim Jung Nam)
(His fancy dish comes out.)
- Wow. - It's meat.
Usually, men tend to eat...
- directly out of the containers. - That's true.
But he's putting it on a dish.
(He's cleaning the lettuce.)
(Bben Jji is being babysat by the troublemakers.)
The food looks better.
(He carefully laid out the Jokbal and dumplings.)
Sit, let's eat.
- Goodness, look at the dumplings. - That looks delicious.
Not everyone has that dish. Even I don't have it.
- I'm salivating. - Goodness.
- We should visit his house. - My goodness.
Let me know if you want soup.
- Kimchijjigae - I'm fine.
(They are not talking.)
How come no one is talking?
I can make soup.
- Soup? - Have all the ingredients.
I can make it fast.
You should make those again.
- What? - Inari sushi.
- That's right. - We all have friends like him.
For sure.
I asked you about soup, why are you talking about sushi?
What should I do?
- Should I go buy the ingredients? - No, that's not what I meant.
This is how it is all the time.
We never complimented each other since we were young.
Even if someone does something good,
we'll just be like... Even if someone has good news,
no one has ever called me in the last 24 years to talk about it.
We never congratulate each other.
When you first released your album, I bought 300 of them.
- When? I can't remember. - Did he really?
- Which album? - It didn't sell over 300 albums.
I sold 1,500 albums.
Gil Tae bought 300 albums?
I bought 100 albums, too.
It's cheaper on the internet.
He's so happy now that his friends are here.
I can't believe it.
(Grinning)
I honestly can't remember if you bought it or not.
(Sorry, I can't remember.)
I was worried if we could make a living when we grow up,
- but we all turned out well. - I agree.
Especially, Brave Brother turned out really well.
When I first found the company, I didn't have a dime.
- I had nothing. - He started from nothing.
That's when Jung Nam and Gil Tae...
lent me money and that's how I got my office.
There's something Gil Tae and I talked about at that time.
Really?
If you failed, there would've been nothing we could do to help.
We didn't expect you to return the money to us.
I'm forever thankful.
To be honest, it's not easy to do that.
They're like family to me.
We can talk about anything.
They're my rock.
Like family.
Your business succeeded because of you.
Since you started the business, you haven't had a vacation.
- We go camping. - We're always camping.
I'm really jealous about that.
Even though I try to go out for a break, it turns into work.
I'd be stressed out if I have to live like you.
I would rather earn less money.
I want to go on trips sometimes.
I agree.
How is your father?
- What? - Your father.
- Remember how scary he used to be? - I know.
He would beat you because you made so much trouble.
He made you into a good man.
So his father helped him.
That's why I have to be good to him.
He was hospitalised not too long ago.
When I call him, he would say, "Hello?"
Then when he notices that it's me, he says,
"Yes..."
"Are you sick?"
"I'm done with."
I think it's because he's gotten older.
- Older people get more childlike. - Yes.
I'm laughing now because I'm just talking with you,
but he worries me a little.
You should get married to make him happy.
Whenever I meet people for work, they all say the same thing.
They say it's better if I get married.
They say things will get stable.
But how is it really?
There must be something good about being married.
It's interesting...
to see him with a child.
- Do you know how old he is? - Come on.
You didn't have to say that.
You should've asked him before the shoot.
So...
Your daughter... Wait, is it a boy or a girl?
It's a boy, you jerk.
(It's a boy.)
It's nice to be married.
You can have children and they are precious.
What about your wife? Is she precious, too?
Don't even try to go there.
This is a typical guy's conversation.
I'm happily married.
(I'm happy.)
I often think...
that dating and marriage are things I need in life.
I realise that I could come home...
to someone who is happy to see me.
Then, I'd live for the happiness of my wife.
I'm not sure if I'd be able to find my own happiness.
That scares me.
Marriage is about responsibility...
and that weighs down on my shoulders.
So, I don't think I can haste about marriage.
I can see why you write songs with sad tunes.
You have a lonely soul.
I think you'd write bright music once you get married.
I might still write sad tunes...
out of sadness for not being able to do more for my child.
- He's the master of sad tunes. - I just feel that way.
Don't you have to get going now?
- You're done eating. - Yes.
I'd like to tell you to sleep over, but you can't, can you?
- We should go. - I have work tomorrow.
I can sleep by myself on the sofa.
(I'll sleep alone on the sofa.)
I know how it feels after your friends leave.
- You feel empty inside. - Take care.
- He's sad to see them go. - You should come visit sometimes.
They're leaving so soon.
Bben Jji, come here!
Go back in.
The long hallway makes him look lonelier.
(His friends left.)
(And the single man cleans up by himself.)
(He sighs in loneliness.)
(Only silence fills the large living room.)
(Bben Jji is his only companion.)
Come here, Bben Jji.
(Bben Jji runs up to him.)
- It's good that you have Bben Jji. - I think so.
Bben Jji, come here.
Come here, Bben Jji.
Let's watch a movie before we go to sleep.
(He sleeps on the sofa, although he has several rooms.)
That's right.
Come here.
That's my boy.
Let's watch a movie.
(Brave Brother enjoys watching sad movies.)
I thought he'd watch an action film.
I like quiet movies.
(The TV isn't enough to get rid of the lonely feeling.)
(He relies on the sad movie...)
(and falls deeper into loneliness.)
(What do you think single life is about?)
Those who live alone...
enjoy the loneliness and solitariness.
I always say it, and I'm very lonely.
However, I look at myself...
and realise that I enjoy loneliness at times.
So, I think living alone means...
to become maturer.
It helps me grow...
and become a mature man.
It's a process I'm going through before getting married.
(He is lonely, but it's fine.)
(He enjoys communicating through art and music.)
(Brave Brother has become maturer today.)
(We enjoyed that.)
Watching Brave Brother made me think.
I thought I was living a diligent life.
But I realised I'm nothing compared to his diligence.
Watching how he lives alone...
made me look back on my own life like no one else did.
- It motivated you. - Yes, it did.
What is your resolution for 2016?
I want my agency to become more stable.
- And a food truck. - What?
I want to buy a food truck with the money I make...
and do volunteer work with it.
I'd like to hand out food to as many people as I can.
I calculated it and I could feed two million people annually.
- Two million people a year? - Yes.
So, I set a goal.
- I roughly made plans. - I see.
Once I hit my goal...
through my music business,
I'll use that money to help others.
- Wow. - Impressive.
I'd like to give more to others.
I want to achieve this as soon as possible.
I really want it to become reality.
It isn't a vague plan, because he has set figures.
- This is a detailed goal. - Yes.
I'll make it happen.
- We'll see it happen soon. - That's right.
- That's amazing. - We'll look forward...
to seeing Brave Brother's food truck in the near future.
- We'll be rooting for you. - Thank you.
(We root for your brave dream.)
(I Live Alone)
(Jung Wan is excited from early in the morning.)
It's party day!
(He busily starts cooking.)
(It's Chef Yuk!)
The first one is mine.
I'll have the first one.
(Chef Yuk loves his food.)
(It drops to the floor.)
(He picks it up right away.)
I'm moving soon.
I felt sad to leave.
I wanted to thank the neighbours that always helped me out.
But my skill sets are all related to music.
So, I decided to hold a concert.
(He is making kimchi pancakes for the guests he'll invite.)
What if they fall in love with my food?
Does that mean I have to open a restaurant?
(He cooks with enthusiasm at the thought of them enjoying it.)
(And he continues eating.)
(I hope it's delicious.)
This is for the neighbours.
(Oh, right. I almost forgot.)
Hello.
I am Yuk Jung Wan.
I'm so busy.
(He is busy writing invitations and cooking at the same time.)
Today at 6pm...
(He writes with love without being rushed.)
Heart...
It's at 6pm.
(What did I write in the first one?)
"Rooftop Concert".
I'm using my own invitation as a cheat sheet.
(A cheat sheet is much needed.)
I'm done.
(The food and invitations are ready.)
Let's go.
(Off to Mangwon Market!)
(I hope they like it.)
- Hello. - Hi, I'm getting married!
When is the wedding?
Are you finally leaving Mangwon-dong?
I'll still use it as a studio.
Where is the venue?
In Gangnam.
- Is this for us? - Of course.
Here is your invitation.
- Today at 6pm... - Today?
Yes.
I heard you're getting married.
I'm moving soon.
I won't be living alone.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
I'm holding a concert at 6pm tonight.
- Come if you can. - Of course.
I'm moving.
Thank you.
Come if you have time.
- Sure. - Thank you.
I'm moving.
I'll be holding a rooftop concert.
I'm holding a concert on my rooftop.
- I'll see you later. - Bye.
(He walks home with a light heart.)
I'm home.
(Jung Wan comes home with his groceries.)
I'm handing out gifts
These are for you
(He looks up to check where the sun is.)
It must be around 3pm.
(It must be around 3pm.)
I should get to work.
(He opens the storage area to get ready for the concert.)
There.
(He has chairs prepared for the guests.)
This won't work.
I'll have to get rid of the wooden bench.
(It's time to use some muscles.)
(Let's work those muscles.)
(His face is about to explode.)
Gosh.
(Snorting)
(He makes a weird sound that comes with an ugly face.)
(But he succeeds in lifting up the wooden bench by himself.)
How am I supposed to move this?
(Gasping)
(So many things are in the way.)
(No one can stop me.)
(Shouting)
(He pushes forward.)
(He takes everything under the bench with him.)
There you go.
The floor is so dirty.
(He decides to clean the floor while he's at it.)
Look at this broom.
I should've bought one.
(The broom looks just like its owner.)
This is frustrating.
I can't sweep anything with this.
(Is it a broom or a mop?)
I haven't cleaned the rooftop for a year.
I hope no one sees this.
(He gets rid of the pot that has been left out for a year.)
(He is finally done cleaning.)
(This can be the stage.)
(The rest is easy.)
That looks about right.
It looks great. You sit here, Wilson.
(Wilson gets the VIP seat.)
There you go.
(Now, for the decorations...)
(Jumping)
That looks nice.
(He gives his all to prepare for the concert.)
(The rooftop looks much brighter.)
(Wow)
It looks like a psychic's home.
Is it going to be okay?
(So many things are hanging from the ceiling.)
(Lastly, he makes a sign.)
My legs hurt.
(Yuk Jung Wan's Rooftop Concert)
That looks nice.
It looks good.
And an arrow...
(He adds an arrow to point them in the right way.)
(I love you.)
There.
(He covers the planning, PR and preparations by himself.)
(He is excited for the rooftop concert.)
Okay.
(Yuk Jung Wan's Rooftop Concert)
(Laughing)
I don't believe this.
(He made the sign upside down.)
What should I do?
I don't have time.
This isn't helping.
(Jung Wan's love is upside down.)
All right.
This will have to do.
(This is the way to Jung Wan's rooftop home.)
(He's also prepared pictures with the people from the market.)
This brings back memories.
The owner of the chicken stand can't make it today.
I miss them.
This is the lady from the underwear store.
There's something special about Mangwon-dong.
They treat me like a brother...
and a son.
I used to push forward without looking around,
but I felt the love and warmth of others.
It was right after I moved to Mangwon-dong.
(He selects an outfit for the concert.)
Should I go with a clean-cut British look?
Or a dandy look?
(He doesn't have any clothes that fit that description.)
This is their first time hearing me sing.
I'll go with the Rose Motel style.
It's almost time. Gosh.
(I don't have time!)
I have to do my hair and makeup.
I look horrible.
I'm a mess.
(Hey, friend)
(He reaches out for help.)
I need help.
(He calls a stylist that lives nearby.)
- Hello? - Hello?
Can you help me do my hair and makeup?
Of course.
Great, hurry up and get here. I'm running out of time.
- Please come as fast as you can. - Okay.
Thanks!
I have 10 minutes before he arrives.
(He signs the gifts he has prepared.)
I wonder how many people will show up.
(The stylist arrives.)
(Hello?)
You're here. Hurry up and come in.
I don't have much time.
Make me look different from I normally do.
Maybe like DiCaprio?
(DiCaprio, the Oscar winner?)
Or Park Bo Gum...
(Park Bo Gum, the hottest star?)
Why are you laughing?
Let's go with Park Bo Gum.
(He is transforming into Taek.)
(But he looks more like Taek's dad.)
(His popularity in Mangwon-dong is no less than that of Bo Gum's.)
(The guests start arriving.)
(What's this?)
(Jung Wan is ready.)
The sign is upside down.
(That's Jung Wan.)
(I love you.)
You're here!
We're here.
(They are finally here.)
- Welcome. - Hello.
Hi.
- He brought a gift. - I'm sorry I came empty-handed.
Don't worry about it.
- They're oranges. - Thank you.
(They brought fruits from their store.)
You didn't have to.
Hi, it's good to see you.
- This is my gallery. - Let's take a picture.
You're here!
It's the chicken store owner. Hello.
The sign is upside down.
(The guests file in endlessly.)
(This proves the popularity of Jung Wan.)
I have so many guests.
Look at all these people.
Who is watching your store?
We closed early.
- We closed early. - This is the least we can do.
Of course.
I became more famous...
thanks to Mangwon Market.
So, I'd like to thank you.
This is a party favour.
I have something for you, too.
(Oh, wow)
Thank you.
This is for you.
(They all hand him a gift full of love.)
Thank you.
(I have one, too.)
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I feel like it's my birthday.
This is nice.
I was worried they'd bring something...
if I invited them.
So, I told them to come empty-handed.
They are people that showed me love...
when I was living alone.
(They treated him with warmth.)
- Have a seat. - Thanks.
Hello.
Is it okay for both of you to be here?
We can't miss your last concert.
- Really? - This is huge.
She gave up her studies to come see you.
They gave up their work but she gave up her studies to see you.
Thank you so much.
I'm moving soon.
I'm moving to Namgajwa-dong.
Why are you moving so far?
The rent is too expensive here.
- It must be you. - It's because of you.
No, it isn't.
Mangwon Market is famous now.
I didn't do a thing.
You're our celebrity.
Stop that.
(He is just sad to leave.)
I feel sad to leave without doing anything,
so I've prepared a concert.
I'll tell you what kind of songs I'll be singing.
This is a song I wrote,
lying on this wooden bench and looking up at the Mangwon sky.
It's called "Rooftop".
("Rooftop" by Rose Motel)
Numerous stars twinkle in the sky
I live closest to those stars
I came to Seoul with my guitar on my back
This is the home I found after six long years
(This is a place full of precious memories.)
Lying on my wooden bench
I stare up at the sky
And I don't envy a single person in the world
(They were times he felt like he had everything.)
However, I live on the rooftop after I passed the age of 30
Some people said it's sad that I live here
But it's okay, I'm fine
I still lie on the wooden bench and dream
The closest place to the sky
(The closest place to the sky)
I live on the rooftop
(Jung Wan wrote an autobiographical song.)
The monthly rent is 400 dollars with a deposit of 10,000
(The lyrics suddenly go from dreams to reality.)
I still dream every day
(The first song was sweet and mellow.)
That was nice.
(The first song was sweet and mellow.)
- What did you think? - I liked it.
- You did? - It sounds like your diary.
Really?
Which lyrics did you like the most?
- "400-dollar rent and deposit". - "400-dollar rent and deposit".
(400-dollar rent and 10,000 in deposit)
- I could empathise with you. - I could empathise with...
the part you said others think it's sad that you live here.
I see.
- Some people do think that. - You're right.
I was embarrassed...
and couldn't tell people where I lived.
Rooftops are off the charts because of you now.
People all want to live on rooftops.
I have prepared a quiz.
If you get the right answer...
(Great prizes are prepared.)
- Detergent! - All right.
Let's start with the detergent.
You know what we want.
Since we all live alone...
(That's what single people need.)
(He checks the question.)
All right.
Where did my garden go?
You call that a garden?
I don't believe you.
You should be embarrassed.
- You saw it, didn't you? - Yes.
(The garden in question)
I'll take the biggest one.
(It isn't even half his palm.)
(It's more like a canape than a wrap.)
You were picking tiny lettuce and eating it.
That's right!
What was I growing?
- Me! - Lettuce!
That's right!
Wow.
- That was easy. - I knew it.
Here, congratulations.
This seems too easy.
I should've made the questions more difficult.
(The single men are eager to get the right answer.)
Last summer, in order to cool myself off,
I know! Watermelon!
- I used this. - I know!
- What is it? - Pumpkin hat!
- No, it wasn't a pumpkin hat.
It's watermelon hat, not a pumpkin hat.
I know, watermelon hat!
I told you that isn't the answer.
- Wrong answer. - I remember you wearing a hat.
Yes, I wore this as a hat.
Cabbage?
(The answer is cabbage.)
(He took it out of the refrigerator and put it on his head.)
(Wow)
This is so cool!
(This is a whole new world.)
- I watched that episode. - I put something on my head.
- I remember it. - You do?
I took something out of the refrigerator.
- An ice towel? - No.
- Was it ice? - It's a vegetable.
Oh, it's cabbage!
(Jung Wan's face changes immediately.)
- Lettuce? - Cabbage is right!
(Cabbage is the right answer.)
Cabbage. That's right.
- It was cabbage. - He finally got one right.
- I was going to say cabbage. - Oh dear.
Cabbage was the answer.
Now the new prize is toilet paper.
(The prize is one of the best Jung Wan has.)
You know, the toilet paper is from a famous brand.
(I would like to win the prize.)
Who will be the officiant...
at my wedding?
- I know! - I know! Yang Hee Eun!
Wow. You got it right.
You are winning all the prizes.
The news was on TV last week.
(His neighbours surely care about Jung Wan.)
She's going to take all the prizes.
- Now it's a final question. - I wouldn't raise my hand...
- because the scooter is noisy. - It seems big.
I used to ride this to go to the Mangwon Market.
The question will be difficult.
What year did Rose Motel...
- make its first debut? - It's 2013.
(Would it be...)
(Would it be the answer?)
No! No way!
No way!
Wrong answer.
Is it 2010?
- No. - Is it 2012, then?
Anybody else?
- Wrong answer. - We are giving the young people...
- more chances to get the prizes. - Really?
- It's 2011. - What did you say?
- 2011. - 2011.
Correct!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Why don't you try it?
(She's riding the scooter.)
That is the brake back there.
- I appreciate it. - You're welcome.
She is the right person for this prize.
Let's get back to the Rooftop Concert.
At some point,
I realised how grateful it is...
to live my life doing what I want to do.
I made this song thinking about the gratefulness.
The title is "I Am Getting Off Work".
- Is it a new song? - Yes, it is.
- It's that the title song? - Yes.
I'm singing this song in public for the first time.
(He's playing the harmonica.)
(The sound of the harmonica resonates softly.)
(It pairs well with the guitar.)
(The audience is into the music.)
(The atmosphere heightens as the night of the rooftop continues.)
I have been holding out for a long time
That was really a long time
All these years
I have been living a life I did not fit in
In this hard life
I did not have much
The expectation from others
Kept me going
Now I'm getting off work
(The title and lyrics imply Jung Wan's sincere feeling.)
I have been holding out
With a mere pittance
Now I'm getting off work
(Their youth has already passed...)
(as they were busy...)
(keeping up their living.)
(They had to give up on what they truly wanted to do in their lives.)
(Her eyes are filled with tears.)
(The song has a message for both gratefulness and regrets.)
I saw some people with teary eyes.
I can't forget that.
I can't.
I was touched more than they were.
(Jung Wan has successfully released his new song.)
- Was it good? - Yes.
- Was it really? - I like this song better.
The song would be perfect to listen to when drinking after work.
- Is that so? - The song was touching.
- Really? - Yes.
Thank you so much.
(They support Jung Wan as if they are family.)
I won't be able to come here often after I move out.
But I will come to Mangwon Market when I go to traditional markets.
- You will always be with us. - Of course.
Mangwon Market became known because of you, Jung Wan.
All merchants at the market are grateful for you.
Thank you.
I think it's important to have close neighbours that...
you could share your feelings with especially if you live alone.
I was really happy for four years of life I lived in the rooftop house.
I really enjoyed living in Mangwon-dong.
I should make more money and move back here.
Would you like to listen to any songs?
- "Bong Suk". - I see. "Bong Suk".
(People of Mangwon-dong all know this song.)
("Bong Suk" is the most famous song of Jung Wan's.)
(Now the song medley continues with a trot song.)
(The Rooftop Concert is now heated up.)
You always await
You and your rooftop always await my presence
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Let's take a picture. - Let's take a group picture.
- Should we have this as background? - Yes.
- Isn't this so nice? - Yes.
- Say "Be happy." - I see.
When I say "Yuk Jung Wan", let's all say "Be happy."
- Okay. - Okay.
Yuk Jung Wan!
- Be happy! - I will be happy!
(Say goodbye to Jung Wan's rooftop life.)
- I'm here. - What?
(He showed up unexpectedly.)
The place is cozy. It's a way to start a new chapter of life.
- Have some. - Okay.
I admire Kwang Kyu the most out of all people I met in Seoul.
Is that right?
I was so happy. I have enjoyed so much.
I still don't understand how the time went so fast.
I am so grateful for...
(Now it's time to let Jung Wan go as he is getting married.)
giving me such precious time.
I think I will be missing everybody.
It would be the last time.
(Jung Wan will say goodbye next week.)
