It's always better when we're together, Happy Together!
- Hello. - Hello.
(Happy Together guarantees fun on Thursday nights.)
Today's guests are...
- all full of ambition. - Oh, dear.
Hyun Moo, you're also a very ambitious person.
- He's known as the ambitious man. - I'm ambitious for variety shows.
- I thought so. - How about you, Hyeon Gyeong?
Would you consider yourself as an ambitious person?
I want to try many variety shows.
I'm now a regular here.
I'd like to take this spot.
- This spot is for... - You want to move up here?
- It'd be nice if I could... - You'd only like that spot?
You're pointing at Myung Soo, not the whole area.
- This spot. - Myung Soo's spot?
- She is very ambitious. - She is.
Wow.
- He was about to say something. - They're here.
I didn't even get to talk about my ambition...
- which is to kick Hyun Moo out. - Hello.
- Who are they?
- Goodness. - Welcome, everyone.
- Welcome. - Park Ji Yoon, Bong Man Dae.
- Director Bong. - Hi's here.
- Yuk Seong Jae. - Take a seat here.
Seong Jae is very handsome.
(The guests do their best to be as funny as possible.)
(Let's see how much effort they put in to make the audience laugh.)
- I see. - Cut.
I don't plan on shooting a movie.
(Let's begin Happy Together with the ambitious stars.)
The ambitious stars are here.
I'm curious what their ambitions are.
Ji Yoon, what kind of ambitions do you have?
Her nickname is Ambitious Lady.
- Kim Gu Ra gave you the nickname. - That's right.
Did Gu Ra give you the nickname, Ji Yoon?
- Yes. - How did he come up with it?
We worked on a same programme that criticises pop culture before.
There was a drama on SBS in which Soo Ae played the leading role.
The character Soo Ae played...
was an unprecedented villain.
- She killed her husband there. - Is it "King of Ambition"?
- Yes. - While I was reviewing that drama,
I said that...
there hasn't been such ambitious female character before.
Then Gu Ra suddenly said,
"This one is really ambitious, too. She is an Ambitious Lady."
Since then, I became an Ambitious Lady.
- That's how it started. - Yes.
Because of Kim Hee Chul,
you were called as Lusty Lady instead of Ambitious Lady once.
- She could be lusty, too. - I see.
When I was working on that programme,
he said, "Ji Yoon, you're known as Lusty Lady."
- That's what he said. - That's what Hee Chul said?
Hee Chul was confused between Ambitious Lady...
- and Lusty Lady. - I see.
Since then, when I look up my name on the internet, Lusty Lady...
appears as a related search word.
People even ask on portals why I'm a Lusty Lady.
I saw those comments online.
Lusty Lady sounds sexier than Ambitious Lady.
You can be Lusty Aunt Myung Soo from now.
(His nickname is now Lusty Aunt Myung Soo.)
Man Dae, what kind of ambitions do you have?
I have too many ambitions.
- I need to calm down a bit. - Your sexual desire?
(Your sexual desire?)
(Sexual desire?)
Sexual desire? My goodness.
- Can I talk about that here? - No, you can't.
- If I can't talk about it... - Take it easy in the beginning.
There are various mass media other than films.
- That's right. - I believe there will be merits...
- in trying something new. - I see.
I should try being a host, too.
(He is also seeking to take someone else's spot.)
- You work with Kwon Oh Joong. - You're currently working with him.
I am, but I need more than that.
- You're a radio DJ, too. - Yes.
- It's with Kim Heung Kook, right? - Yes.
- Do you get along with him well? - You seriously think I'd get along?
(Do you really think that I'd get along with him?)
- He's quite serious. - We won't ask any further.
We won't ask him any further. Welcome back.
(Man Dae is definitely a man of ambitions.)
Next, what kind of ambitions do you have, Seong Jae?
- I'm hooked on fishing nowadays. - I see.
I wish I could catch more fish.
Really? How long has it been...
- since you started fishing? - A month.
A month.
(A month?)
- What? - It's only been a month?
- I love it. - For real?
How many fish do you catch when you go fishing?
- I go fishing 4 to 5 times a week. - You go fishing very often.
I catch around three fish.
(He only caught 3 fish.)
- In a month? - You should just buy fish.
He goes fishing four times a week...
You should just go to Noryangjin.
There are plenty of fish there.
The number of fish I have caught is three.
I missed way too many of them.
- You need more experience. - I do.
Another ambition I have now...
is to be the first boy band singer to appear on a fishing channel.
- Seriously? - Silver white croaker...
Hi, what kind of ambitions do you have?
The ambition I have is to be funny on variety shows.
When my first album was out,
I only appeared on music shows.
(Lee Hi won the second place on "K-Pop Star".)
(She has a very attractive and soulful voice.)
(Lee Hi is a soulful singer with many unexpected charms.)
- I'd like to hear her sing. - Me, too.
- I love her song. - When did she get the microphone?
I prepare it all the time.
You're my star, you're my sun
You're my moon
I've got everything
I feel, I feel good
I feel good when I'm with you
- Wow. - Her voice is so powerful.
- She sounded just like Rihanna. - She's amazing.
Why did you beg YG to be on variety shows?
- Why did you do that? - Because...
he kept trying to make my image mysterious.
I don't know why. He might have another idea in the big picture,
- so I didn't say anything. - Yes.
Then I thought I'd better speak up, or I'll never be on variety shows.
- He must have drawn a big painting. - And...
You could have been a nobody, not a mysterious person.
- Exactly. - He neglected you.
- That's right.
Not many people know that I'm actually outgoing.
I know.
She's quite different from what I thought.
- How did you think she'd be? - I thought she'd be shy.
- I thought she'd be quiet. - Me, too.
It turns out that she's the new generation, who's feisty and all.
- New generation? - New generation?
You sound so old.
Nobody says "new generation" anymore.
- Aren't you 20 years old now? - I'm 21.
- We need to have individuality. - How old are you, Sae Ho?
- He is... - He's old enough.
- He's also the new generation. - He's the cyber generation.
So today's your first day to be on a variety show on KBS, right?
Yes. I've never been on a variety show where you have to talk a lot.
It's your first time to be on a variety show where you need to talk?
Did you prepare a lot for today...
- to show off your talents? - I'll do my best.
(I'll do my best!)
- Goodness. - The rising star of variety shows,
- Lee Hi! - Lee Hi!
Hey, fatty!
(Lee Hi challenges herself to be funny on Happy Together.)
She's adorable.
That's it.
You have the time today?
- I love the way she looks. - I see.
She doesn't belong here.
I'd pull the rod all of a sudden.
Seriously, I'd like to be...
on fishing TV one day.
He's my age.
- Will you be all right? - They make a good picture together.
Seong Jae...
had misunderstood upon hearing that Man Dae and Ji Yoon are the guests.
He thought Park Ji Yoon of "Coming of Age Ceremony" would be here.
- That's not true. - I see.
("Coming of Age Ceremony" by Park Ji Yoon)
I think my manager was confused.
- Is that right? - A different woman...
Besides Ji Yoon, when he heard about Man Dae,
he told me that he'd never even heard of that name.
Haven't you seen any of his movies?
- It's not usual. - Don't you watch movies at all?
He has never heard of the name, Bong Man Dae.
- Tell him your major works. - Right.
He might have seen your movies, though he doesn't know your name.
Do you know a movie called, "Playboy Bong"?
- No. - Tell him your famous movie.
"The Sweet Sex and Love".
- Excuse me... - What was that?
- "Rice Cake Piercer". - "Rice Cake Piercer".
- What was that? - "Rice Cake Piercer".
- Stop it. - Well...
It passed all the regulations.
He has a number of famous movies.
- They passed all the regulations. - I can't believe it.
- Hi, - I was...
- why are you suddenly coughing? - I didn't cough.
- Hi. - Are you that cold?
Hi, you watched his movies, didn't you?
That's his recent movie.
- "Rice Cake Piercer" was recent. - "Rice Cake Piercer" was recent.
- "Rice Cake Piercer"? - I don't know.
Are you sure?
- "Rice Cake Piercer". - "Rice Cake Piercer".
We were the dog trainers.
Maybe he thinks...
that is the train that ran on New Year's Day?
- Maybe. - Is it a film R-rated?
Most of Man Dae's movies...
- are made for adults only. - He's right.
There is one movie suitable for 15 years old and over.
- Which one? - It's the one with Shin Sae Kyeong.
- It's called, "Cinderella". - I see.
- Do Ji Won was in it, too. - Right.
- Do you know that one? - Yes, I know "Cinderella".
I'm not talking about the drama. It's a movie.
- I haven't seen it. - You're forcing him too much.
- I am not trying... - He may not know.
- You should've brought...
some burned CD today.
Nobody burns CDs anymore.
It is illegal.
You were an ambassador against piracy before.
Goodness.
When you first heard the name, Bong Man Dae,
- what did you think he does? - How does the name sound?
Well, I heard that he's a movie director.
His name had a huge impact.
I thought he must be a director who produces very popular movies,
- with over 10 million viewers. - Like Bong Jun Ho.
It's because they share the same last name.
My movies have had more than 10 million viewers.
When you look at the market of internet protocol television,
- there are 30,000,000 viewers. - Wow.
You must make a lot of money.
- I won't deny it. - Let me explain a bit further.
If you look at Man Dae's movies in early 2000,
they were sensational without being erotic.
- That's true. - That's true.
The titles of erotic movies then...
- They sounded funny. - There were many wives.
- "The Affair of the Milk Cow Wife" - Right.
"Indecent Desire of the Pencil Wife".
"The Cabbage Wife is Pickled".
"Indecent Desire of the Pencil Wife".
What does that even mean?
Well...
It literally means the pencil wife...
Hold on.
The pencil wife has indecent desire.
(It's hard to explain.)
- Don't you get it? - You don't get it?
You don't know "Soup of the Dragon"?
Years ago, there was a drama called, "Tears of the Dragon"...
- It was a historical drama. - that Yoo Dong Geun was in.
- It was named after that. - All the titles were parodies.
"Soup of the Dragon" is an example.
"Peppermint Love" is another one.
- That's why... - Your eyes are sparkling.
- What? - Your eyes are sparkling.
He is...
- Did my eyes really sparkle? - Yes, they are.
I was just so glad to share it with you.
- I didn't even realise it. - Young folks nowadays may not know.
Back in 1997... What year were you born?
- I was born in 1996. - She must have no idea.
- Since the IMF cold wave,
erotic movies were made at a low cost and it started to boom.
There were so many erotic movies with those kinds of titles.
- People rented VCR back then. - She's right.
Then Man Dae made a debut.
- He produced, "Salmon". - I see.
And "Mo Mo".
- He made high quality movies. - Right.
- The stories were solid. - That's right.
Man Dae is a pioneer of new adult movie industry.
You sounded almost like his spokesperson.
I didn't know that you are my fan.
- What did you say? - I'm surprised you know "Salmon".
I know all of your movies.
Jae Seok is a big fan of Man Dae.
- Yes. - I heard there's someone among...
- the hosts that Man Dae finds sexy. - Who would that be?
To tell you the truth, there is.
Before I say who it is,
I hope no one will find me strange.
- Isn't it Hyun Moo? - It is.
He has the face of an actor.
(The face of an actor?)
- I'm the director. - Man Dae,
The director said so.
You have to explain why.
He is maybe a character actor?
What genre are you thinking about for him?
- Why is it so funny? - In old movies,
there are servants who work in the mistress' houses.
That suits him well.
That's exactly it. You have good eyes.
- Are you talking about "Nudlnude"? - That's such an old movie.
That is it.
(This is Hyun Moo.)
That's not me.
- How do you call that sexy? - You two look the same.
Is he even a human?
You look just like him.
He looks like a rock, not a human.
You look just like him.
What do you think of Seong Jae, Hi, and Hyeon Gyeong?
It's difficult for me to say anything. Seong Jae is...
as young as my son.
- We shared the waiting room... - Yes.
As soon as he came, he asked me how old I was.
He asked me if I wanted to be in a movie.
- He almost cast him. - Let me explain.
- He has the face of an actor. - Directors have a bad habit.
When we prepare a scenario... for an upcoming movie,
we tend to imagine if the people we bump into can fit the character.
I imagined if Seong Jae could pull off the character...
and do some nudity parts?
- Nudity? - Nudity?
- I meant... - All naked?
No, that's not it.
He's blushing.
- He is shy. - I'm seeking a young, charming guy.
- A young guy... - How old will the partner be?
She'll be in her late 30s.
- That's my age. - What?
Ji Yoon... Are you okay?
Oh, she's interested.
I didn't expect to find my partner so quickly.
I like this feeling.
They make a good picture.
I have a good feeling about this.
- This is it. - That's right.
It's an unexpected combination.
Seong Jae, you have nothing to worry about.
I don't ask my actors to be all naked in my movies.
- That's not what happens. - He's right.
You don't have to be so worried.
So people should worry if they get calls from you?
- Since it's Man Dae... - In fact,
that's the first question I ask in all my auditions.
"What do you think about nudity?"
Some people tell me that they're comfortable with it.
- Some have a hard time. - Right.
Actually, I think acting without clothes is most difficult.
Imagine acting while wearing all clothes...
- and acting without anything on. - Exactly.
- It doesn't sound easy at all. - It's not easy at all.
- You must communicate through body.
Yes. It's inevitable that one feels humiliated while acting naked.
Don't actors cover their private parts?
- Cover what? - Don't they use a tape...
- Goodness. - How will they shoot, then?
- Are they all naked? - Of course.
They're stark-naked.
- That's not right. - We come to an agreement.
We let them cover some parts.
However, the actors find it hard too.
There's long story behind covering the private parts with a tape.
We call the job, "Cover Up".
Are you serious?
- You told me I could say it. - Okay.
All right.
Not many people cover up nowadays.
- For real? - They prefer to look natural.
They find hiding their private parts more humiliating.
Think about it. If you're the only one who's covered up, it'd be weird.
- That's true. - It's weird.
- It'd be more humiliating that way. - I'll stand out in the crowd.
Actors nowadays prefer...
They prefer being naked without being covered.
- I see. - Yes.
"It's my work of art."
They're daring.
All we need is an understanding between the parties.
There's no problem.
- Are you all right? - Are you all right?
What?
- Are you all right? - What?
He asked daringly.
He'd never even heard of the name, Bong Man Dae before.
- It was his first time to hear it. - "Are you all right?"
After the actors have finished shooting a scene,
do they discuss with you, all naked?
- "How did I do?" - No.
Excuse me, bring your legs together.
- Bring your legs together. - Your legs...
- Bring your legs together. - Excuse me.
I was just giving him an example.
Stop making an example.
It's good that you brought that up.
- Many people ask me for tips. - Yes.
"How should I act..."
"so that the actress would feel comfortable around me?"
- When I finish shooting a scene, - Yes, cut.
I call the dresser to never run to give them...
gowns or towels.
- Why? - The moment they run to do that,
actors will lose their confidence to continue their acting.
(The actor will become self-conscious!)
That is very considerate.
Yes, I tell the consumes team that they can walk slowly
to come and cover them while we look elsewhere.
- And... - So they won't get self-conscious.
- Yes, for actresses... - That's considerate.
I tell this to the actresses, too.
"If you get shy about this and cower down,"
"some of the male staff..."
"will secretly watch you with the side of their eyes."
"If you're feeling conscious about that,"
"why don't you try to confidently walk by them?"
"You'll see how they'd act."
It's all the same again. When the actresses are confident,
male staff members actually look down.
- Really? - Really.
I try to encourage them to do that.
I have other know-hows, but I can't share them all here.
This show isn't just about me.
- So... - Do you understand?
He's after Seong Jae.
(He really wants to cast Seong Jae.)
- He's after Seong Jae. - He wants to cast him.
- Why don't we let him practise? - What?
We'll let him practise. He's going to film that, anyways.
- No, don't do that. - How do I practise this?
Try walking around naked,
and confidently say, "Hello."
- What are you talking about? - "Hello, staff members."
You probably also have given advice to other directors about...
- how they can shoot those scenes. - I have.
That happens from time to time.
Recently, Director Kwon Chil In who directed the movie "Singles",
he'd ask me how he should cover up the actors.
So, sometimes they would ask about small things like that.
While Director Yim Pil Sung made "Scarlet Innocence",
he and I looked over the script because he asked me...
how he should film the R-rated scenes.
Director Shin Yeon Shick, who made "Dongju; the Portrait of a Poet",
came to me while he filmed "Rough Play" and asked...
for an advice on filming an R-rated scene.
It was a scene where this man treats the woman very roughly.
He said, "What should I do?"
So, I asked him about the size of the washroom they were in,
- and if it had a bathtub. - That's very important.
- He has to know his way around. - Yes, exactly.
I asked about the character, too. After learning the scene thoroughly,
I sat at a cafe and told him what he can do.
I told him about how the actor has to play rough,
and how the scene depends on zippers
and buttons on the clothes, too.
- Are you always this focused? - Get lost.
It's as if only us three are listening to his story.
- I think we need to get a grip. - I agree.
Whenever R-rated scenes come up in a movie,
they always cover the scene with tree leaves, right?
- In the 80s, - Exactly, look at the leaves.
those scenes were expressed metaphorically.
In some movies, hives would explode.
- Hives? - Why hives?
A long time ago, when main characters hugged,
suddenly a waterwheel would come up on the screen.
(A waterwheel spins around,)
(and a monk hits his wooden block passionately.)
Another one I remember was a volcano eruption.
- A volcano? - Yes, exactly.
(Even a volcano erupted.)
Actually, I've always been a fan of Ji Yoon.
I liked her before she got married.
She looks like an idol group's member.
Come on.
- You should change your glasses. - No, I'm serious.
Isn't she very charming?
- Of course. - She is charming.
I also told her that she got very pretty.
I don't do movies.
What was that?
My goodness.
He didn't even ask you.
My goodness, Ji Yoon.
- Hi actually has... - Her looks...
westerner's eyes.
- Yes, she does. - That's right.
- Doesn't she look like a Hungarian? - Yes, from Eastern Europe...
- Yes, a Hungarian. - I agree.
As you know,
when young singers mature...
into about 27 to 28 years in age,
a lot of them take up acting.
I don't think it's a bad idea for you to slowly prepare yourself.
- For what? - For movies.
- How would she prepare herself? - Stop casting people.
My gosh, he's casting everyone in this studio.
As you can see, Hyeon Gyeong has a very long neck.
- She does. - If someone has a long neck,
- does it help? - Isn't it really long?
Her neck is very long.
(What was that?)
- Isn't it really long? - Her neck is very long.
- What was this? - Why did you do that?
(Walking toward her)
What was this?
- What are you doing? - What was this?
What are you doing, Hyeon Gyeong?
Why are you sitting on the tip of your chair?
Because she asked me to come.
- Good for you. - I had to go forward.
- You can talk to her. - My gosh, Hyeon Gyeong.
We should do an R-rated movie special.
It's really good to have someone who can act naturally like her.
We used to film those scenes by just lying down in the bed,
but it's not like that now. There must be...
gentle movements in the scenes.
And I can see that she has the movements which linger on.
- May I see you again? - Show him again.
Will you let me see you again?
(The ambitious director is walking toward her.)
(Is there a pose you want to see?)
Settle down, guys.
(He's peeking at her through his viewfinder.)
What was that with your hand?
This is very old-fashioned.
This is exactly what crooks do.
- I've seen this on R-rated movies. - Yes, but still...
I've seen it on R-rated movies.
- My goodness. - You can't do that here.
I would've understood if you did this,
- but this is way too old. - Maybe his camera is old.
- My goodness. - Give me a chance to explain.
Movies are all about what we put inside the frames.
Not a lot of people see why it's important to do this.
People rarely do this now.
Why don't you take a look at Hi and Seong Jae, too?
Do you want to take a look?
- You should. - You should see how they look.
All right, then.
I'll use a panning shot to take a look at them.
I won't use this now. I'll use something that masters use.
- Let's do that. - I'll use this one.
You're like James Cameron.
- He's like James Cameron. - Or George Lucas.
- They both do this. - Yes.
- I'll begin. - Ready, start.
What's with her facial expression?
(Man Dae begins to approach to her.)
- That's excellent. - You look sexy.
(The actors begin to dance.)
Wow, look at Hi.
(Tough and sexy)
(That's the magic of the master's hand!)
Why don't you try again in the old style?
- Yes, try again with that. - Use the old style.
Try again with the old viewfinder.
- Go ahead. - All right, then.
I'll use the old one.
(Man Dae took out his old viewfinder again,)
(and he became a B-movie actor.)
(Aunt Myung Soo spreads his legs.)
That's excellent.
(The hosts are feeling confident in front of the camera.)
- My gosh. - That's great.
That was good.
Make Ji Yoon do it, too.
(Mrs Desire's seductive eyes)
My goodness.
(He's making weird noises!)
- My gosh. - What was that?
- My goodness. - Man Dae was like,
"That's right. Oh, nice!"
It was like filming R-rated movies in the 80s.
He was like a crook...
- we see in movies. - Yes, he was like a crook.
He was like, "Oh, yes."
The actors can act better when I say things like that.
- That's true. - He's considerate.
I can just erase off my voice after we film the scene.
- I did feel excited, actually. - Didn't you?
I can act more than what I have.
Anyways, Hyeon Gyeong. Do you have the time?
Do you have the time? I don't have any other intentions.
I shouldn't have other intentions while filming a show,
but you don't belong here.
What are you talking about? You really sound like a crook now.
- That's what crooks say. - My gosh.
- That's what crooks say. - I've heard that...
- very often. - Only crooks say those things.
I thought he sounded like a fortune teller.
Then who belongs here?
- Who belongs here? - Myung Soo does.
Let's talk more...
with Man Dae later on.
Anyways, Seong Jae. Wasn't that a mess?
I heard there is something to celebrate.
You got the first place, right?
We ranked the first place 1,481 days after our debut.
(BTOB debuted in 2012.)
(The first place is "Remember That" by BTOB.)
Congratulations, BTOB.
It took us the longest time among all idol groups...
to rank the first place on a network TV music show.
- Wow. - Congratulations.
You had a pledge, right?
We did.
We sang three slow songs in a row.
We were a bit tired of singing slow songs.
We wanted to do something sexy, and that was a part of our pledge.
- I'm glad you met Man Dae, then. - It's a perfect match.
You pledged that you'd do something sexy, and you met Man Dae.
- This is what fate is all about. - Exactly.
What do you mean by something sexy? Will you do sexy poses?
No, I wanted to sing a sexy song.
- Oh, you wanted to do that. - Yes.
First of all, I can train you for that.
I do want that, actually.
Sexiness isn't something you can carve up on your own.
Someone else must say it for you.
Someone else should say, "He's a sexy man."
Saying "Am I not sexy?" won't make you sexy.
We can train that. Do you have the time today?
Stop it.
- Why does he sound like a crook? - Stop it, my goodness.
He sounds exactly like a crook.
- My gosh. - He keeps on doing it.
- "You don't belong here." - "She doesn't belong here."
You must need a sexy dance to highlight a sexy song.
I'm a bad dancer,
but I'll give it a try.
- That's nice. - All right.
That's excellent.
Before we see his sexy moves...
Seong Jae is really good at imitating a carp.
- He's good at imitating animals. - He'll do Magikarp.
- I see. - Really?
Magikarp.
(He'll always do Magikarp wherever he is.)
- Here we go. - Okay.
- This is when it's caught. - When it's caught.
This is when It's just caught.
(Fresh carp)
(Leaping fiercely)
What is matter with him with that pretty face?
- And now, he's tired. - He's tired.
- He's out of strength. - He doesn't have any strength.
Wow, he has a story.
- Look at his face. - I heard this was upgraded.
- Upgraded? - Yes.
Can you dance like a shark?
- A shark? - Or a yellowtail?
It's important to make a scary face to dance like a shark.
- You're right. - I see.
- Wow. - He looks like a shark.
(Seong Jae turns into a shark.)
He looks like a shark.
(Shark Seong Jae goes to hunt with his mouth open.)
(Bumping)
(He hits his jaw very hard.)
(However, the shark still swims.)
The only difference was his facial expression.
Gosh.
- Good job. - Seong Jae is ambitious.
- Good job. - He did it well.
Show us a sexy dance.
(Full of excitement)
(Shark Seong Jae tries to become a sexy king.)
(Rolling his body)
He dances well.
He does.
(He lies back down on the floor.)
He's down on the floor.
- Goodness, you're right. - He looks sexy.
(Goodness!)
He looks sexy.
(He wraps it up shyly.)
His dance involved a difficult move.
Man Dae, how did he look in your camera frame?
- He looked great. - Did he look okay?
He has a nice bottom.
What do you mean by that?
Man Dae, may we see your dance?
- Say you're at an after-party. - It's considerably bad.
Show us what sexy dance is all about.
- Seriously... - Please step forward.
imagine you're at an after-party.
Music, start!
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Gosh.
(Are you doing an exercise?)
- What on earth is that? - Drag him out!
- Drag him out. - What was that?
- Man Dae. - What's wrong with you?
What do you want me to do?
- Just have a seat. - That was horrible.
That wasn't good at all.
- Please excuse him. - Didn't I look innocent?
- How is that innocent? - No way.
- From an artistic point of view... - Oh, goodness.
You might ruin the show.
Hi, is there any vocal mimicry you've practised?
Do you have any funny act?
- It's something I think I do well. - What is it?
Jin Goo...
(Vocal mimicry of Jin Goo?)
- I love that animation. - Do you mean "Doraemon"?
- Yes. - You mean Nobita?
Yes, that Nobita but I am doing Takeshi's mum...
from "Doraemon".
- Takeshi's mum? - Who is that?
We can't find out if there's too long of an explanation.
I'm a huge fan of "Doraemon",
so I know Takeshi's mum's voice.
- Do you know Takeshi's mum? - Yes.
- He looks like Doraemon. - Let's hear Takeshi's mum's voice.
I'll give it a try.
(Vocal mimicry of Takeshi's mum)
Takeshi.
(Takeshi)
I almost thought my mum was here.
(That's definitely my mum's voice.)
We don't know much about Takeshi's mum.
- We don't know anything. - She's not on every episode.
- I can do another vocal mimicry. - What is it?
I'm sure no one knows this person...
- but I'd like to try. - Please do.
- I like things like this. - Don't mimic your aunt's voice.
It's something similar.
My makeup artist...
(Her makeup artist)
- is very unique. - Let's hear it.
She's very unique.
Although we don't know her at all...
- it could be funny if it's unique. - As long as it's funny.
That's right.
She has a unique personality, and she sometimes makes this sound.
- She makes this sound. Pardon me. - It's okay. Go on.
- Go on. - This is it.
(That must be the end.)
You wouldn't survive on variety shows.
I can see why YG...
- You should keep being mysterious. - thought she isn't ready yet.
While Hi was doing...
a vocal mimicry, Man Dae whispered to me,
"I can do some vocal mimicry, too."
- No way. - Seriously.
- Did he want you to tell us? - So I asked him,
"Do you have anything you've prepared?"
- He said, "I didn't prepare it." - He's so ambitious.
- I bet he won't do well. - After what Hi showed us...
(Why must he do it right after Hi?)
Man Dae wants to show that he's better.
She just took a first step in variety shows.
He put pressure on me by massaging my shoulder.
- Gosh. - Man Dae.
- Man Dae? - Yes.
- Why don't you give it a try? - Everyone should close your eyes.
- You shouldn't look at my face. - Do we have to close eyes?
It's right after we finished the karaoke.
Let's say we just finished.
"Did you have a good time today?"
- Wow. - How was it?
Wasn't it good?
(Sae Ho falls over due to embarrassment.)
Gosh, that was embarrassing.
- Wow. - Can you do anything else?
Can you do a vocal mimicry of an actor?
He must have something else.
I can mimic the voice of Lee Deok Hwa.
- He's from a long time ago. - I bet...
it'll sound similar to what he just did.
- No. - Don't say, "Hair, hair".
- Try Lee Deok Hwa's voice. - I hope he doesn't say, "Please".
Let's hear it.
"Wig, wig."
- That sounded similar. - Pardon me but...
- it sounded like Kim Jun Ho. - That sounded like Lee Deok Hwa.
- "Wig, wig"? - Did he really sound similar?
- Hi said he sounded similar. - Yes.
- Really? - I listened with my eyes closed.
Two people liked my vocal mimicry. Seong Jae liked my first one.
"Did you have a good time today?" He liked this one.
It sounds like Inspector Gadget.
Seong Jae is bursting into laughter.
The next one is what Hi liked.
- "Wig, wig". - She likes it.
People in their 20s like it. Do you want to make a movie with me?
(Why not make a movie since you find me funny?)
Goodness.
He's like a man in the neighbourhood.
He's one of those men sitting outside in summer...
- who says, "Hi, come here." - "I'll show you something funny."
"Are you doing anything today?"
- "I'll show you something funny." - He'd be sitting on a bench.
- How about Seong Jae? - Can you do anything?
- I thought of something. - Okay.
- Do you know Bruce Lee? - Yes.
Bruce Lee makes this particular facial expression...
- after defeating a villain. - Right.
This won't be easy.
- Give it a try. - Let's see.
(His own special sound effect)
(Screaming)
- He looks similar to him. - Wow.
He looks very similar to him!
(It was a perfect mimicry.)
- Can you do Lee Gyeong Gyu's face? - Step forward.
His facial expression was very similar to that of Bruce Lee.
Look.
(An excited fan of Bruce Lee)
Hit him in the stomach.
- Hit him a few times. - Make it realistic.
(Making a sound like Bruce Lee)
That's an amazing talent to have.
Seong Jae, you blew us away.
- You did blow us away. - That was good.
Act like Bruce Lee instead of dancing like Magikarp.
- You should do this, not Magikarp. - Okay.
- Jae Seok, show us yours. - Seong Jae is quite ambitious.
Seong Jae's facial expression was perfect. I was very surprised.
- Gosh. - There you go.
- Wow. - Show us.
He looks ugly.
- Let me take a look at your face. - He looks ugly.
Gosh.
- Now he has to win the battle. - Hyeon Gyeong, look carefully.
- Don't be scared. - His face scared her.
- Bruce Lee doesn't... - Where are you looking at?
look where he's hitting.
He looks when he's almost done.
(He's getting ready to look ugly.)
(This is the ultimate look.)
- He looks so ugly. - How does he make...
such a face?
(He gets into the character.)
- Hi, can you do it? - It's okay, give it a try.
- Give it a try. - Just do it.
You should give it a try if you're ambitious.
- You can do it. - Even Lee Hyo Ri did it.
- Start. - That's right.
(Punch, punch, punch!)
She's so cute.
(Bowing to ask for forgiveness)
- That was fun. - I'm sorry. I'll watch the movie.
It's funnier that she apologised.
- Up next... - It's funnier that she apologised.
- The next should step forward. - It's her turn.
(A super rookie on variety shows, Hyeon Gyeong, steps forward.)
(Screaming)
(She looks closer to Na Mun Hee than Bruce Lee.)
(Hyeon Gyeong is full of talents.)
That was great.
- Man Dae should try. - Man Dae said,
"You know Bruce Lee..."
"It's not like I prepared for it,"
- "but I can mimic Bruce Lee." - Give it a try.
- Take off your glasses. - I'm not being ambitious.
I'll do this for Hi.
- That sounds great. - Wow.
This is good.
- He's flittering too much. - Are you jogging?
- Gosh. - He's flittering.
(Iron Man who is jogging)
- Why is he only doing that? - He looks so light.
Hi, Hi.
(Flapping)
- Lee Hi. - Goodness.
- What is he doing? - Just do what we asked you to.
- Stop making things up. - I wanted help her recover.
- What? Recover? - "Lee Hi?" Gosh.
Okay.
It could be quite embarrassing for them...
but if these two...
ever get married and give birth,
they'd be on variety shows within 20 days.
- They're impressive. - They are.
Hi was quite cute today.
The fact that she tried her best is what counts.
She also apologised after trying hard.
She seriously apologised.
I heard you can see AKMU's room from your house.
Yes.
(With fresh voices like green lawn,)
(the two siblings sing about innocence.)
(AKMU)
- You guys live close. - They live across from me.
I can easily see their apartment.
- Really? - Yes.
- Can you even see their rooms? - I didn't know, but...
Soo Hyun often comes to visit me. She told me that...
she could see my living room from Chan Hyuk's room.
- My goodness. - Aren't you the same age as him?
- Yes, we're friends. - In that case...
If you can see his room...
- If you can see the room... - You need a curtain.
Have you seen something you shouldn't have?
Pardon me?
- It's possible you date each other. - No, I doubt it.
From everything you have witnessed, what was the most memorable?
Excuse me?
What are you asking?
Maybe she saw Chan Hyuk eat apples.
- Apples? - That's right.
Is that really the answer you were hoping for?
Yes. She can see his room from her house.
I thought it was a beautiful story,
but everyone reacted strangely.
Man Dae even leaned forward to hear the story better.
It's interesting that she can see their rooms from her house.
It's not like I can see much.
- It's sexier that way. - Since I hate sunlight...
(It's sexier that way.)
A blurry view adds to the mystique.
Is that so? I know I can see them,
but I have only tested it once. We went, "I can really see you."
We both live with our curtains closed.
Among female MCs in Korea,
she got back to work the fastest after childbirth.
You returned to work only after 27 days.
- Yes, after 27 days. - It wasn't even a month.
I have recently become a radio DJ.
- You have a radio programme. - Yes.
It's on air six days a week.
That means you only get one day off. What was...
the most number of programmes you had?
I once had about eight programmes.
Is it even possible?
Hyun Moo, how many programmes are you doing?
I'm doing eight shows.
My goodness.
Isn't it your first time meeting Hyun Moo after he went freelance?
It is. I've met him at other broadcasting stations,
but it feels different to see him on a KBS programme.
What was Hyun Moo like?
I brought him to the world of variety shows.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- And? - It was for "Top Secret".
Back then,
- Hyun Moo was a rookie then. - That's right.
- We worked together. - Sae Ho was on the show, too.
- That's right. - Really?
Despite the title of "Top Secret", no one wanted to watch the show.
It was a secret of our own.
Seriously.
- Everyone has a secret! - Everyone has a secret!
"Top Secret" will reveal secrets of 50,000,000 Koreans.
An exciting change has been made to the show.
Anchor Jun Hyun Moo will be our coachman to lead the show.
- A coachman? All right. - That's right.
- Do you like the nickname? - It's always been my dream...
to become the best MC. It feels great to host a show...
with people who are lesser than me.
I am off to a great start.
Ji Yoon, you said that Hyun Moo is the most ambitious star.
You found it odd that Hyun Moo is never called ambitious.
I feel like he is one step ahead of me.
He doesn't hold back and throws himself to programmes.
I have rules...
in choosing programmes. Even if I starve,
I will abide by those rules.
If the programme I am considering is aired at the same time...
or has a similar concept as the programmes I am already in,
- I won't take the job. - Those are important rules.
However, Hyun Moo is in two competition programmes.
He doesn't care if the programmes are aired at the same time.
He doesn't abide by the rules.
No, he disturbed the market system.
Many people in the entertainment industry say...
that Hyun Moo works as if he has no tomorrow.
He works as if he will die tomorrow.
- People wonder if he has a debt. - That's right.
- People worry about his health. - They do.
I was recently in a programme with Ji Yoon.
I watched Ji Yoon carefully...
and noticed something about her.
The day before the shoot,
she studies about the shoot.
- It's necessary. - I was so surprised.
She memorises everything.
- My goodness. - I don't know how she does that.
I don't think she gets a lot of sleep.
- She makes a thorough preparation. - I read the script carefully.
I need to have an outline in my mind...
- to come up with ad-libs. - How impressive!
- It's for an ad-lib. - That's right.
That's amazing.
Why do you not have the script with you?
There is Myung Soo's script.
(The script lies on the table.)
Excuse me.
I'm shocked.
- I just got goosebumps. - Myung Soo.
Did you toss it aside?
Why is your script over here?
- Was a ghost reading your script? - Gosh.
It was upside down, too.
Hyeon Gyeong and I...
aren't given a script.
We need to find the right time to talk...
- in the flow of the show. - That's right.
I find it ridiculous that Myung Soo doesn't read his script.
He threw it away.
I wondered for a second if a ghost had moved his script.
Did you move my script?
Why was it over there?
It was right by my side.
What page are we on?
We are on page 12. I'll keep my script open.
- All right. - Keep it open.
I have it open now.
All right. Hi has expressed a wish to do well on this show.
I hope we are not scaring her away.
- She's learning a lot today. - That's right.
Among different examples,
you just need to find a style that works for you.
Whose style do you want to follow the most?
- Include Ji Yoon, too. - Which one would you be?
- Me? - Yes.
If I were in a variety show,
I want to follow Myung Soo's style.
- Do you want to follow his style? - You want to do as you please.
Why?
- Don't you like the script? - She will toss the script aside.
You don't want to read the script.
I think he's really funny.
I see. Hi wants to be funny like him.
He is really funny. Even his face makes me laugh.
He does have a funny face.
- Thank you. - It's a good thing.
He was born with this face.
It's not something you can have, Hi.
A face like Myung Soo's...
comes to be only once every 10 years.
- I am serious. - Even that outfit suits him.
My wife picked out this outfit.
This is my wife's doing.
It suits you.
- You look like a cheetah. - What?
(Cheetah from Yeouido)
Since you became a freelancer,
you earn 30 times more than your husband, right?
- 30 times? - That's ridiculous.
It's not 30 times.
- You are ridiculous. - I like the number 30.
Your income has increased, right?
Yes, it has.
Do you get your husband's permission every time you buy something?
- Do you? - Many people say...
gifts from their husbands make them happy.
However, my husband's gifts...
- don't make me happy anymore. - Why not?
His money is not his own.
My husband's money and my money create the household income.
Even if he buys me a gift, it's coming from that fortune.
Maybe you don't like it because he is spending your money.
No, it's the family's fortune.
If he buys a gift, money gets subtracted from that fortune.
Thus, receiving a gift...
- no longer makes me overjoyed. - Let me ask you this question.
Who is in charge of managing the asset?
- We add our incomes together. - Really?
Yes, then we manage it together by assigning roles.
People who earn a lot tend to manage it by themselves.
Ji Yoon and her husband are quite admirable.
What about you, Man Dae?
- What about me? - Who manages your money?
- He probably does it by himself. - Well,
I have no money to manage.
I mean...
Both my wife and I have a negative balance.
"You can have some of my debt."
You and your wife share debt.
We manage our debt together.
You said that you and your wife have a negative balance,
but that can't be true.
You are a film director.
- That's right. - People assume that I am rich,
but you should know...
that a lot of film directors are in debt.
- Is that so? - Except for a few successful ones,
film directors always borrow money. "Sae Ho, lend me 5,000 dollars."
"I will be shooting a new film in a few months."
That's how debt accumulates.
You repay the debt when you earn money on the new film.
How successful are you? Are you in the top one percentile?
No, I am not.
I am nowhere close.
There is a saying in film industry.
"A film with 10 million viewers will give you 10 years."
Even if you have no income,
you can make films for the next 10 years.
"A film with 5 million viewers will give you 5 years."
"A film with a million viewers will give you one year."
- Really? - Yes.
If your film doesn't garner a million viewers,
you get nothing.
- You will have a negative balance. - How do you make a living?
- Do you have a side job? - Here is the thing.
I still love films,
but my love for TV programmes has increased.
- I see. - We are talking about ambitions.
That's right.
It's good to be on programmes, right?
I am now a film director...
who occasionally appear on TV programmes.
It's better than I expected.
It's better than doing nothing.
I want to appear on shows when I am not working on films.
- This surprised me a lot. - What is it?
When I was about to debut on a TV programme,
an actor I know advised me...
to join the Korea Broadcasting Performers' Association.
- I see. - Then you get paid for reruns.
I inquired about the association,
and he told me that all actors have joined...
and that members get paid for reruns.
So I went to the Korea Broadcasting Performers' Association.
They asked me, "Why is a film director here?"
I explained that I came because I will appear on many programmes...
in the future.
Soon, I was getting 12 cents one day and 50 dollars the next.
Money for reruns poured in.
That must be fun.
It's terrific. I quite enjoyed the extra money.
It's understandable.
I look forward to the reruns...
more than the first broadcast.
That's how I came to be.
It's fun...
to work in a different industry. My wife loves the change.
Does she like it?
- Of course she does. - We used to be really poor.
She loves that...
we have a steady income. It's as sweet as candy.
Did you struggle financially before you appeared on TV programmes?
I struggled.
I struggled so much.
However, other film directors don't have it any better.
- I see. - There are about 300 people...
registered in Director's Guild of Korea.
Except for the top one percent, film directors make a living...
by doing part-time jobs.
They often work at convenience stores...
and deliver newspapers.
- Really? - They work in the dark...
with a hope of making films in the future.
If their film doesn't do well, they burn out.
Appearing on programmes occasionally...
has awakened ambitions I never knew I had.
Jokes and silly things...
flow out of my mouth. I am very grateful...
for an opportunity to be on the show.
Did you make R-rated films to make a living?
- No, I didn't. - Have you always liked such films?
When I was an assistant director,
actors always asked me about my future plans.
"When will you become a director?"
"What kind of films will you make?"
I knew I wanted to be a director, but I wasn't set on a type of films.
I didn't know what kind of film I should make,
so I started to have serious thoughts.
I thought about my name.
I tried to come up with a unique name.
Bong Man Dae popped in my head.
It is a seductive name, right?
- Bong Man Dae. - That's right.
It gives off a certain vibe.
Bong Man Dae.
I have always been curious, so I wanted to...
- explore such themes. - It was like destiny.
That's right. R-rated films suit me.
They suit me very well...
and my family has supported my decision.
I can't believe that your family supports your decision.
There are a lot of bedroom scenes in your films.
I find it hard to believe that your wife is supportive.
- She wouldn't say, "That's great!" - She tells me to make more films.
My mother prays in the morning...
so that I would make erotic films with class.
- My goodness. - She prays for my success.
My father-in-law is especially supportive.
They used to sell erotic films in Cheonggyecheon.
He would bring those films home and say, "Man Dae,"
"you should watch these films for your reference."
- Your father-in-law did that? - How impressive!
I heard that his father-in-law treats him very nicely.
You used to live at your parents-in-law's place.
Yes, I lived there for two years.
- His father-in-law asked him to... - Really?
- move in. - My goodness.
He is a cool father-in-law.
For two years, my mother-in-law did my laundry.
- Really? - Yes.
I loved living with my parents-in-law.
My mother-in-law has asthma...
and she collapsed from an asthma attack one day.
- I performed CPR... - My goodness.
and took her to an emergency room.
- You saved her life. - Was she okay?
Yes, she said the next day,
"I wonder if anyone else..."
"has kissed her son-in-law."
She has a point.
My mother-in-law and I are close even to this day.
Living together pulled us closer as a family.
We are on good terms.
Did she come to the film premiere?
I think that was a bit difficult for her.
I am sure she's secretly watched the film.
Did it really take you a year to hold your wife's hand?
- Yes, it took me a year. - A year?
I am incredibly shy...
- when it comes to love. - Is that so?
Holding hands is the start of a relationship.
Back then, I didn't have a driver's license...
while my wife drove a stick shift.
- She looked really cool. - I bet she did.
Her hand was on the gear knob.
So I held her hand when the car stopped.
- I said, "Let's date." - Really?
I had many second thoughts. Aren't all men like that?
It never takes me more than a week to hold hands.
- Do you hold her hands right away? - Of course.
These days, the lack of physical intimacy...
will make women wonder if something is wrong with you.
If I met my wife now, I might have held her hand sooner.
But back then,
- I was about 21 years old. - Things were different then.
What do you think, Seong Jae?
I would be considerate of the woman.
Even if I want physical intimacy, I will hold myself back...
- and let her decide. - That's right.
Seong Jae, haven't you been in many relationships?
No, I wouldn't say I have been.
How many women have you dated?
I haven't dated anyone after I debuted as a singer.
- I am being honest. - No one said otherwise.
No one accused you of lying.
He must be lying.
- Seong Jae, you are in your youth. - That's right.
Don't you want to watch erotic films?
- Don't they interest you? - Seong Jae looks very innocent.
All of us have watched erotic films in our youth.
I used to go to video rental stores.
- We had VHS back then. - That's right.
I would be lying if I say I don't watch erotic films.
- Thank you for being honest. - You did a good job.
- Do the members watch it together? - The thing is...
I don't like sharing with the others.
- I enjoy something unique alone. - Something unique?
- I like watching it alone... - That's the best.
- on my phone. - Now we are talking.
- But... - Let me see your phone.
- Where is your phone? - Don't be embarrassed.
- Things are better these days. - You are right.
Mobile devices are cutting edge these days.
We had no choice but to share with our peers...
because we had to move the TV set.
- The TV set? - That's right.
These days,
we have VR.
The VR headset gives you a three-dimensional experience.
- My goodness. - You watched it with VR?
- I heard about it. - Please share it with me.
I don't think you have only heard about it.
I've never used it.
- Let me borrow it. - VR?
You are driving me crazy. Where is it?
- Let me borrow it. - Where is it?
Was the headset made in Korea?
- It's three-dimensional. - Everyone is leaning forward.
I apologise. Why is everyone leaning forward?
Move back.
- My goodness. - I want to borrow it.
Let the guest talk.
I got the VR headset as a present, and the older members told me...
that it can be used for such purposes.
So it's not made specifically for erotic films.
- No, it's not. - Of course it's not.
- VR is in vogue these days. - That's right.
We should let an expert explain the technology.
VR stands for virtual reality.
VR headsets can be connected...
to computers and mobile phones.
A man who works in Guro came to see me.
- There is a digital complex there. - A man came to see me.
He told me that he wants to make a VR content with me.
- A film for VR? - So watched a 10-minute content...
- that was specifically made for VR. - How did it go?
- There was a small problem. - Was it too amazing?
It was amazing, but my hands were doing this.
- Why? - Here is the thing.
Through VR headset, you see a woman right in front of you.
So you want to fondle her.
- My goodness. - Don't be so vulgar.
Hi is learning many things on her first KBS show.
It's the best. I didn't know such things existed.
Hi, you have never watched an erotic film, right?
Of course she has. She has grown up.
I have never watched an erotic film,
- but I have watched R-rated films. - What did you watch?
When R-rated films are on TV,
I watch it with my mum and my sister.
When indecent scenes come on,
do you pretend to do something else in embarrassment?
- We used to do that in the past. - That's right.
When kiss scenes came on,
my mother would go, "I need to fold laundry."
She did that.
My dad would cough for no reason.
My sister and I get embarrassed,
but my mum doesn't.
When we watch an R-rated film together,
my sister and I look over at her...
and say, "Mum, you should go to bed."
- My goodness. - We try to send her to her room.
- You try to send her to her room. - Yes.
She could be enjoying the film though.
My mum says, "Why are you trying to make me leave?"
- She wants to watch it together. - I see.
- Hyeon Gyeong, what about you? - I am sure she has watched them.
In my days, such novels were popular.
- That's right. Women prefer books. - Were they R-rated?
Yes, they were. If someone brought it to the school,
- we would take turns reading it. - I read somewhere...
that women prefer imagination...
- over visual effect. - That's right.
"His heavy breaths approached me."
Sentences like that used to make me blush.
Words have a way of kindling imagination.
That's why women like whispers.
- Women like whispers? - That's right.
- Heavy breaths. - Stop it.
(I don't like it.)
- What was that? - For goodness' sake.
- What was that? - Stop it.
(Appalled)
- That was gross. - Ji Yoon hated it.
- She liked it. - Don't be ridiculous.
- She leaned toward me. - What are you talking about?
- She didn't like it. - You are mistaken.
- I see. - Seriously.
You whispered "Heavy breaths" all of a sudden.
- It's creepy. - Who would like that?
Hi just grimaced.
(She can't hide her disappointment.)
- Did she? - Yes.
Had he done that to me, I would have been so annoyed.
- I would have hated it. - It depends on who does it.
Seong Jae would elicit a different response.
Seong Jae, try it on Hyeon Gyeong.
What he whispered was too creepy,
- so I will make it effortless. - Seong Jae has the perfect voice.
What's the trendy way of making women's hearts flutter?
Things are more straightforward these days.
Please give us an example.
- What will he say? - Whisper in my ear.
She seems so eager.
- I don't like whispering in ears. - All right.
- I apologise. - No, I am okay.
Hyeon Gyeong has trouble hearing.
- I just try to act cute. - Show us.
Hyeon Gyeong, let's go eat.
That's what I would do.
Hyeon Gyeong, I thought you didn't like younger men.
- Despite that... - I see.
Seong Jae doesn't understand the art of eroticism.
This isn't about eroticism. It's about trend and love.
- I didn't realise. - Not everything is about eroticism.
It's important to have a low voice.
Man Dae, what are you trying to show us?
We are curious. Please show us.
Please don't try it on me.
- I refuse in advance. - Whisper to Sae Ho.
Just don't do it to me.
Heavy breaths.
(His whisper turned more forceful.)
I swear that it works.
We should rename today's episode to Lustful Stars.
I apologise. Man Dae is the root of the problem.
He started the talk about it.
I was a bit wary when I learned that he was one of the guests.
He didn't disappoint.
- Are you here to ruin the show? - You need to stop.
Is that your goal?
Seong Jae, you talked about fishing earlier.
It may become my second profession.
- Really? - You must like fishing a lot.
- Apparently, fishing can be a job. - It can be.
The moment I trick fish into biting the bait...
gives me so much pleasure.
Different kinds of fish have different pulls.
Is that so? You have only caught three so far.
- My goodness. - They were of different kinds.
I guess he caught three different kinds.
Carp feel heavy.
- I usually fish for bass. - Bass?
I like bass.
Would you act out the moment you caught a carp?
- When you catch a carp... - Cast the fishing rod.
- You have been fishing for a while.
- Carp don't have strong bites. - That's right.
- It lightly touches the bait. - Act it out.
- Then I pull the rod. - What do you do now?
- My goodness, it's heavy. - And?
- I reel in the carp. - Go ahead.
- I struggle. - I see.
I fight against the carp for five minutes.
I doubt the fish was that big.
- It can't be that big. - How do you catch a bass?
- When it bites, - Bass can be quite strong.
the entire fishing rod vibrates.
That's right. Bass is fierce.
I pull the fishing rod like this.
- I move the line left and right. - That's right.
Then I reel the fish up.
I see that you caught fish.
- It's grey mullet. - I see.
- It's very big. - It's huge.
- Was it strong? - It was.
Show us how you caught the grey mullet.
You cast the fishing rod.
(The fish is too strong.)
(Seong Jae becomes Bruce Lee.)
- That was the best. - It was great.
That was a great expression.
Honestly, my arm still hurts. The muscles here...
- No way. - No way.
- He likes to exaggerate.
- I caught the fish two weeks ago. - Yes.
I fought with the fish for around seven minutes.
- I couldn't let go of the pole. - I see.
It'd been so long since I caught one.
- I was so moved that I teared up. - Yes.
I was so desperate not to lose the fish.
It's like "The Old Man and the Sea" after catching just three fish.
- A huge battle against nature. - I even caught a Chinese herring.
Does your family fish?
- My late grandfather... - Yes.
owned a fishery.
- Goodness. - Wow.
It's in his blood.
His fishery was over 16,000m² in size.
- Wow, that big? - It's in Gwangtan.
My grandfather was...
the first to import koi fish into Korea.
The first? He's like Moon Ik Chum.
Your grandfather was the first to import koi fish?
At the time, a single koi cost over 50,000 dollars.
- What? - It was so expensive.
- One fish cost 50,000 dollars? - At that time, koi fish...
- were very rare. - 50,000 dollars?
- Wow. - Yes.
The fish farm is gone now, but the fishing spot is still there.
- Does your grandmother go fishing? - Yes.
Do you like fishing because of your grandmother?
I think so. I have an affinity for fishing.
- Is your lifelong ambition... - Yes.
to take over your grandmother's assets?
It's not that. I just like fishing.
I want to run the fishery one day.
- Really? - Wow.
An idol who loves fishing?
- He wants to run a fishery. - That's his dream.
- Fishing is really addictive. - That's right.
- The fishing community is close. - That's true.
The fishing channel will never go away.
- You used to be on that channel. - I started my career there.
- I see. - Really?
Yes, I was on two programmes.
The shows were about freshwater and ocean fishing.
Are there tips for being a reporter on a fishing channel?
- You have to know the lingo. - Yes.
We get in touch with fishing experts.
If I say, "Here's Seong Jae at so and so reservoir."
He answers, "Yes, I'm at the reservoir."
When I ask how conditions are lately,
He'd say, "The carps are big and the water turnover..."
- "is causing a mess." - Yes.
I'd ask what kind of bait he's been using lately.
I ask very seriously.
- Like on the news. - Right.
- Fishing is a serious to them. - Fishing itself is their career,
- and it's important. - You share the information.
He provides the useful information.
After thanking them for the information...
and for my final report, I say,
"There will be a bass fishing competition soon."
"Net fishing is prohibited."
"The winner will be decided by number of fish over 15cm."
"Please join in."
That's great.
You seem interested in being on that channel.
- It's so... - If Seong Jae were on that channel,
- Wow. - the ratings would be huge.
For those who aren't into...
fishing like I am but want to try it,
- I... - Let's do it together.
Try it out now...
- as if you're at the scene. - Act like a reporter.
Let's go to Yuk Seong Jae who's at the Han River.
Hello, I'm out at Tancheon in Jamsil.
Right now, the mullet are trying their best...
- to swim upstream. - He's doing well.
What kind of pole are you using?
In the past, I used to use...
a number three pole.
It was too powerful,
- so I switched to a 2.5. - Yes.
- This is a show for die-hard fans. - They're experts.
- I know it perfectly in theory. - Yes.
- What is it, Man Dae? - I think we can work together.
Stop scouting him.
A love story that starts at a fishery?
- They meet at a fishery. - Right.
He's casting for a movie here.
What I mean is...
- He mentioned virtual reality. - Yes.
I want to connect fishing with virtual reality.
The last fish caught will be a mermaid.
(Mermaid)
How sexy.
(Mermaid Yuk appears.)
A mermaid appears.
- He takes every chance he gets. - He's ambitious.
Seong Jae's nickname...
- is Handsome Psycho. - That's right.
Yes, they call me the Handsome Psycho.
Why did you get that nickname?
Once, I tried to break a watermelon with my head.
I filmed a video of myself trying to break a watermelon with my head.
("BTOB's MTV Diary")
(Seong Jae lost.)
You're going to become dumb doing that.
I don't care.
(Seong Jae isn't concerned with his IQ.)
(That really hurts.)
- On red carpets, - Yes.
BTOB does unusual things.
That's right. You do those types of things.
We did the "The Creation of Adam".
- Is that Seo Eun Kwang? - Yes.
They made a star.
I get so proud when the photos make headlines.
We're singers, but we feel the pressure to be funny.
- Those ideas... - You come up with ideas.
- Do you discuss about the concept? - Yes.
- There's a meaning behind that one. - What is it?
The three guys on the bottom are the oldest.
Our younger group members don't bow down to older ones...
- just because they're older. - Oh.
We have that kind of concept.
I heard you got angry with a director during a casting.
There are directors who are hard on actors...
to see what their personalities are like when casting them.
- I didn't know that. - They want to see.
He asked who I was, so I told him I was a member of BTOB.
He told me that no one knew who BTOB was.
Goodness, he said it on purpose?
Yes, he was pushing my buttons.
I got upset.
My face turned bright red.
"We're doing our best."
"Everyone's trying hard, but if you say that,"
"it's very upsetting."
That's what I said with a flushed face. Afterwards,
- I thought my acting career... - You thought it was over?
was over before it even got started.
I thought I was done for and left.
In the end,
my role as Tae Kwang in the drama is...
I'm sorry. Don't do it.
Who's responsible if I die?
He's rebellious and has an anger problem.
- Goodness. It worked out. - It was a perfect fit.
- It's typical in casting. - Do you do it, too?
- It's like a test. - Right.
I can't lose. It's a power struggle.
If they come off strong,
- their character shows. - I see.
They end up being chosen to remain.
Is your temper under control?
- Is it? - For now,
the reason I don't lose my temper...
- is for the other members' sake. - For BTOB?
I'm afraid it'll affect the group negatively.
- How responsible. - Seriously.
I heard that even though Eun Kwang is the leader,
he's careful around you since you're busier.
- Is that true? - He's careful around you?
Honestly, he had opportunities as well.
But it's his fault that he lost them?
(It's his fault for losing them.)
No matter where I go,
I always talk about the other members instead of myself.
When scriptwriters and producers ask me questions,
I tell them that the others...
can show their talents as well if given the chance.
The reason I was able to do the drama and be on this show...
is because I'm in BTOB.
- Goodness. - He's awesome.
Hi wants to be in a relationship...
as much as she wants to do variety shows.
She's never been in a relationship.
I hear there's something you really want to do with a boyfriend.
- What is it? - Be honest.
I want to talk on the phone until it gets hot.
What if he doesn't want to talk too long?
- With the blankets over your head? - Yes, secretly.
I don't know if it's still around,
but from midnight to six o'clock in the morning, calls were free.
- It's free late at night. - I remember that.
My ear used to almost catch fire.
Have you ever talked on the phone that long, Seong Jae?
- I don't think I'll get a chance. - Why not?
Because I'd always be with her.
(I won't leave my girl alone.)
Did you come up with that in advance?
- He came prepared. - The atmosphere would get hot.
Man Dae wouldn't have come up with that.
It's not the phone that gets hot.
It's the atmosphere that heats up.
We have to come up with this stuff.
That comment was Man Dae's style.
That was very corny.
(That was a great comment.)
(Let's make a deal.)
Why do you keep doing that?
Although times may change,
- some things never do. - That's right.
- Of course. - Like asking to sing a song.
There were phone booths back in my day.
- They don't exist anymore. - Right.
They were perfect for dates in the winter.
You slide the door shut.
It gets steamy inside.
- Right. - It becomes blur.
- Goodness. - Again?
Inside...
- What if someone tries to come in? - That's the point.
I see. It's for that thrill.
- Exactly. - I thought the talk...
- was going well. - At the very end...
- But it's gotten steamy again. - It's for adults only.
Man Dae always gets steamy.
The producer is having a headache right now.
- My goodness. - The editors are going to be busy.
Hi, have a late night phone conversation with Sae Ho.
- Should I talk to her? - Do you know her number?
- Hello? - Hello?
Hi, Hi.
Gosh, I don't like that.
(What did I do?)
She dislikes it as soon as you speak.
You don't like when he says hi?
It's like he's making fun of me.
You give it a try, Man Dae.
Shall I?
- Think back to the old days. - Right.
Turn the dial on the phone.
It's 2016 over here and 1980 over there.
- Like in "Ditto". - Really?
Act like it's the movie "Ditto"?
("Ditto")
It goes back in time.
Right.
When will he finish dialling?
- What is that? - Gosh.
It takes awhile to go around.
Ring, ring.
That's enough.
Hello?
- Hi, it's the movie director. - What?
Oh, hello.
What are you doing...
at this late hour?
What time is it?
Right now?
It's Seoul.
(Right now? It's Seoul.)
Hold on.
What are you doing?
(Don't learn bad things in entertainment.)
- What's going on here? - My goodness.
- That was awful. - What are you doing right now?
Why did you say Seoul?
What is that?
Gosh, really.
- How is this like the movie? - Wait.
Seriously.
This time, why don't Seong Jae and Hyeon Gyeong talk on the phone?
- All right. - Gosh.
She's an older woman.
- Hello? - Hyeon Gyeong.
Yes?
- What are you doing? - Nothing much.
Why are you doing nothing?
- What should I be doing then? - Crying.
- Gosh. - You weren't thinking of me?
Of course, I was.
She's so happy.
Do you want to meet?
You're coming?
Open your window.
Gosh, I'm hating this.
Hi!
(You surely are my boyfriend.)
(She's grinning from ear to ear.)
Open the window again.
- Tell her to open the window. - Open the window.
(She returns to reality.)
(Her fantasy romance is different in real life.)
(Go away!)
(Hi is learning a lot today.)
(Her anger isn't cooling down.)
It's like a tomato festival.
She's closing all the windows.
She's locked them all.
She's locked everything possible.
It was like the tomato festival in Spain.
(I learned a lot.)
- Actually... - Your relationship began at work.
You dated your husband who worked in the same company.
Yes, I wasn't hiding it.
No one knew because we were such good friends.
You'd think people won't suspect anything...
if you're good friends.
But rumours can still spread when you're friends.
(But rumours can still spread when you're friends.)
(Rumours of romance between Hyun Moon and Kim Ji Min)
(The truth behind the bag)
We were eating at a restaurant nearby.
Hyun Moo told someone to stop by on the phone.
Ji Min came by.
We're friends.
She was hungry.
I...
She wanted to eat.
Is she a refugee or something?
Was she a hungry refugee?
I just invited her to come to eat.
- He's a senior comedian. - You told her to come.
He's her colleague. So...
She and I call and text from time to time.
- On that day, I was there. - Right.
I thought she'd text me asking...
if she could come.
But she just showed up suddenly.
It must not be the right time to reveal their relationship.
We should wait and see.
That's not why I brought it up.
- Wait and see. - Wait and see.
- That's not what I meant. - Wait and see.
We're just friends.
Congratulations!
Rumours of dating can happen when you're just friends.
To date at work...
So you're saying...
Are you saying it's not fair since you two are just friends?
Right, that's it.
It's stranger that you're denying it so adamantly.
I just like handbags.
(I just like handbags.)
- I just like it. - I don't understand...
why you were holding her bag.
But that's...
I was just being nice.
- Why were you being nice? - Let's talk about this.
- It was heavy. - What really made me laugh was...
when I read that he had that bag in black, as well.
The black one...
- You're a fan of backpacks. - It was so funny...
when it has been said that I have the bag in black.
Why would they write about it?
The rumours spread so quickly.
- All right, we'll wait and see. - We'll wait and see.
Why are we talking about this?
Like you said, you might just be good friends.
You might end up dating...
or just stay friends.
At any rate, we'll...
- wait and see. - Wait and see.
- Wait and see.
We'll wait and see.
(This is exhausting.)
Goodness.
Was the show fun?
I think you can go now, Hyun Moo.
- You can leave. - Yes.
I heard something surprising.
The idea for "Rice Cake Piercer"...
- was Myung Soo's idea. - Myung Soo originally...
- mentioned it on a show he was on. - Right.
It involves a train on the New Year's Day and...
It's about playing games while eating rice cake soup.
Did the movie do well?
There are people who think it was a movie.
But it was a web drama.
It was scheduled for 12 episodes, but it's on hold.
"Rice Cake Piercer" is on hold.
Everyone asks why I'm not finishing it.
The lead actor is elsewhere.
Can you change the lead actor?
There are contenders here. Why not make them audition for the role?
How about we hold auditions...
for part two of "Rice Cake Piercer"?
When I took my first acting lesson,
- I did cute hoppang acting. - I see.
It was about walking down the street and buying a hoppang.
I was supposed to eat it and emote.
I was to make an expressive face while looking at the hoppang.
(Blowing)
(Biting)
(Oh...)
(While doing hoppang acting,)
(she's turned into a hoppang.)
(It's a sad legend.)
(Second audition for female lead, Hyeon Gyeong)
(Biting)
(Wow, wow, wow)
(He's grinning in satisfaction.)
- No way. - It's the best.
What's wrong with her?
(Complete satisfaction)
- What's wrong with her? - It's delicious!
Was it fun? It must've been fun.
(Method acting versus variety acting)
- Wow, Hyeon Gyeong. - She's forcing it.
What was that?
His name is Cho Kang Ho.
Hey.
- Kang Ho. - Hold on.
His face...
- He looks like Choi Jong Won. - What?
He looks like Choi Jong Won.
I think we should go with a historical drama.
Say, "Ma'am."
Like Lee Dae Geun?
- Yes. - Try to act like Lee Dae Geun.
Dae Geun...
- What? - He's so good at it.
What?
(It's so funny!)
- Ready! - He's good.
Ready, action!
Right. This is a rice cake just like you said!
It's rice cake made from rice!
This is bean rice cake.
This is mugwort rice cake.
This is a rice cake!
Do you think...
anybody can eat this?
Great!
Director,
this was great.
- It was great. - Gosh.
Take that!
Rice cake!
- Wow. That was great. - How was it?
(His acting skills overcome his appearance.)
- Thank you. - Now do Choi Jong Won.
Show us Choi Jong Won.
Hey, you.
This is a rice cake.
Bean rice cake.
Mugwort rice cake.
Do Choi Hong Man.
Want to try it?
(He can mimic so many people.)
Thank you.
(He fulfils Man Dae's expectations.)
- Thank you. - Wow!
- He's perfect. - Man Dae really liked it.
Is this the kind of acting you want?
This is it.
(I'm top actor, Yuk Seong Jae. I will do better than him.)
Here's Seong Jae.
Here we go.
Ready, action!
Wow, he's strong.
Right.
This is rice, like you said.
Bean rice cake.
- Mugwort rice cake. - That's great.
In a word,
it's rice cake.
- Right? - Great.
Do you think I made this...
to sniff at it?
(Finally, it's the climax.)
(Bruce Lee is reborn.)
(This is real acting.)
That's how you do it.
- That was great. - That was good.
Great.
- That was good. - Good job, Seong Jae.
Good job.
It's a masterpiece.
Right.
Wow, it's a masterpiece.
- Wow. - That was great.
The final impact was...
It was amazing.
- That was great. - If you were to cast now,
- who would you pick? - Well...
I'd pick Seong Jae.
(Seong Jae is chosen.)
He was great.
Another contender I'd pick...
- is Lee Hi. - She was good.
She did well.
(This is how you act for casting auditions.)
("Happy Rice Cake Piercer")
(You can't watch it on IPTV.)
It was Ambitious Stars special and we'd like thank our guests.
We'll see you next week.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
