Don't do that. She beats people up.
(To those watching today)
- A letter? - "To my dear husband."
"You're having a hard time."
This is a talisman my ex-wife gave me.
I should throw it away.
So, Cao Lu.
Cao Lu? You must really like her.
You haven't changed.
(You might just get shocked.)
He'll recite a poem.
"I miss my grandmother. I miss my grandmother."
Is this a school festival?
I recited it for nothing.
(This is their charm.)
(With just one glimpse,)
(you can't help...)
(but become a fan.)
It can't be helped.
("I'm a Fan Special" begins.)
Today's four guests are people...
you just can't help but fall in love with.
Welcome to our "I'm a Fan Special".
Our first guest married his first love and had three kids.
Women want a husband like him,
but his real-life wife prefers Song Joong Ki to him right now.
He's a great dad. He's funny and he can sing,
but he does acting the best. Please welcome Actor Cha Tae Hyun.
- That's outdated. - Gyeon Woo.
It's so outdated.
I'm sorry.
(Giggling)
- We can't make movies without him. - That's right.
- He was in 12 movies last year. - He did a lot of movies.
- He's almost like Gu Ra. - Yes.
He is Gu Ra's actor equivalent.
Like Oh Dal Su and Go Chang Suk, he hit 10 million at the box office.
The prolific, rising scene-stealer, please welcome Bae Seong Woo.
- Bae Seong Woo. - Welcome.
First, she shared her odd taste for foods,
then she did a split in front of us.
Now, she's back as the new sassy girl.
In China, she's more famous than...
Jun Ji Hyun and Song Hye Kyo.
Please welcome Victoria.
In the film "The Terror Live", he looked like a real news anchor.
In "The Thieves", he looked like a Chinese man.
I thought you were a Chinese man.
He is the master of the method approach.
You may not know his name, but even foreigners know him...
as Kim Woo Bin's dad in "The Heirs". Please welcome Choi Jin Ho.
- Hello. - Welcome.
(Cha Tae Hyun, Bae Seong Woo, Victoria, Choi Jin Ho)
(Holding a sheet of paper)
Can you please greet our viewers?
- Tae Hyun, be the first. - Hello. It's great to see you.
I'm Cha Tae Hyun and after 15 years,
I'm back as Gyeon Woo in "My New Sassy Girl".
- Who was the original actress? - Jun Ji Hyun.
- What's her character's name? - Gyeon Woo?
- Was it Jik Nyeo? - No, just "Her".
- "Her"? - Where did Jik Nyeo come from?
That's a folk tale.
("The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd")
Is her name never mentioned?
- No. - Is she just "The Girl"?
- Her name was never mentioned. - Really?
- You know, internet novels... - Kyu Hyun.
- Wasn't his name Kyu Hyun? - That's me.
He's called Kyu Hyun.
There was an internet novelist.
- Are you talking about Guiyeoni? - Guiyeoni?
I think our movie came out first.
Isn't she called Kyu Hyun?
- I'm Kyu Hyun. - That's him.
(Kyu Hyun is right next to you.)
Seong Woo, please say hello.
Hello, in the movie "My New Sassy Girl",
- I play Gyeon Woo's friend. - That's weird.
(Are they the same age?)
Do they cast friends who look older?
Things happened and I got to play his friend.
Victoria?
Hello, I'm Victoria, the new sassy girl.
(Hello)
- You're beautiful. - The Chinese...
They fell in love with her.
- They adore her. - If half of the population watch,
- They adore her. - that's still 600 million viewers.
(If half of them watch, it's still 600 million viewers.)
Jin Ho?
Hello, I'm Choi Jin Ho and I play Kim Jeon Moo.
You really did just say hello.
What did you bring with you?
Something to read later.
Oh, I see.
You're very prepared.
- Not really. - Just like a student.
- Yes. - Okay.
(He seems peculiar.)
Tae Hyun is famous for saving the names...
of crew members on each project on his phone to memorise them.
I can't memorise them.
Not so long ago, Gu Ra proved that...
he memorises the names of everyone he works with.
Ju Ki Bbeum used to work on "Happy Together".
Her name is Gong Ji Hyun.
Kim Yu Jin, where are you?
(Where are you? He names everyone without fail.)
Where is Yoon Seung Jung?
That's 10 names.
This part isn't in Gu Ra's script.
Kim Gu Ra versus Cha Tae Hyun.
Let's see who's better at naming their film crew.
Do you know everyone on "One Night Two Days"?
Not really. There's been a lot of changes.
- Do you know most of ours? - What about before the changes?
I don't really know our film crew that well.
- What? - Seriously?
What's going on?
Let's go with the prominent figures, then.
- Executive Producer. - Who is it?
- Cho Hee Jin. - Correct.
- The Executive Producer. - Of "One Night Two Days"?
- I don't know who it is. - Seo Su Min?
- Seo Su Min. - How do you know that?
- I'm impressed. - Everyone knows that name.
See if you can guess what programme this person works on.
Lee Eun Jin.
That sounds like a name from KBS.
- No, it doesn't. - Am I right?
She works on Radio Star.
(She's our scriptwriter.)
Eun Jin, you should move to KBS.
Didn't you work there before?
(Just say you did.)
I bet she worked there for a while.
Jeong Yong Tae.
- That sounds like a KBS name, too. - Yong Tae?
Am I right?
- Do you know who he is? - The name...
It might sound familiar.
- He's famous. - Because...
- "One Night Two Days". - He's our lighting director.
We have a director nicknamed Buddha working at MBC.
- On "My Little Television". - What's his name?
His name? We just call him Buddha.
(He's just called the Buddha.)
(Giggling)
We prepared too much.
Look at all these names.
- Actually, I... - I thought it would be a close game.
- To be honest... - I feel terrible.
It was close in a way.
(It was close in a different way.)
(He says his bit.)
Having done a great job on "One Night Two Days",
Tae Hyun was almost nominated for the Grand Prize last year.
There are rumours that you refused the nomination.
You said no.
- How will that make Hwi Jae look? - Right.
You made him look bad.
I'm sitting beside someone who refused it and then accepted it.
- He said he wouldn't attend. - He prepared a speech.
I had no idea. My legs almost gave in that day.
(He's embarrassed he said that.)
It would've been fun if you had.
(Wailing)
That would've been dramatic.
Tae Hyun, didn't people tell you that you were likely to win?
It wasn't at all like that.
I did ask them not to nominate me.
I didn't want to be mentioned or discussed.
- Why not? - I'm an actor and...
that's the only variety show I'm on, so being nominated for an award...
didn't seem right.
- Was it too much pressure? - I felt...
It wasn't because of the pressure. I thought it wasn't right.
- That's so admirable. - That's why...
I'm not displaying the trophy I won last year.
- Why not? - It's still in the box.
I don't think it's time yet.
- Is it not your time? - You should've refused it, then.
You should've said no.
I bet he looks at it at night.
No. I don't do that.
It's in the corner of the kitchen.
(My precious!)
Seong Woo is very enthusiastic today.
Do you want to be funny?
Were you concerned that you wouldn't be funny today?
I don't want to be funny all the time,
but I'm on a show that's known to make people laugh.
Did you bring some secret weapons with you today?
(What?)
- The scriptwriter did call me up. - Okay.
You did something to your eyebrows to make us laugh.
No, this is how they normally are.
I thought you were trying to make us laugh.
No, I wasn't.
- I thought he filled them in. - They look funny.
What about your hair?
This is my usual hair style. I went to a salon in Gangnam.
I've never heard anyone mention his eyebrows before.
It's a first for me, too.
(His face is ideal for variety shows.)
- Seong Woo is a prolific actor. - He was in so many movies.
- "Inside Men". - "Veteran", too.
You played a man who lived alone on an island.
- Oh, yes. - I was very impressed.
- Thank you. - It mesmerises the viewers.
How many people watched it?
- About 20,000 to 30,000 viewers? - That's it?
- "No Tomorrow". - I don't know.
- Really? - It was a low-budget movie...
and it wasn't shown in that many theatres.
Asking how many people watched a low-budget movie...
just means that you're ignorant.
(He's ignorant.)
- Gook Jin asked him. - Right.
- I'm ignorant. - It's okay to ask.
- Just tell Gu Ra. - Okay.
Fine. I'm ignorant.
Seong Woo is a prolific actor,
but he has a strange rule when picking projects.
Do you really accept every project you're offered?
Does he really?
Do you never say no?
No, I do say no.
I also have to consider my schedule.
- I heard he refused our movie. - Did he?
- At first? - Yes.
Having said no in the beginning means that he did it for the money.
- They raised his pay. - Yes.
- It wasn't about the money. - Okay.
Don't ignorant people ask about that?
- Right? - I'll be careful.
I lack class, not ignorance.
- I lack class. - I see.
- Go ahead and let them argue. - I'm ignorant.
You argue about the small things.
- I lack class and he's ignorant. - You lack class.
- Fine. I'm ignorant. - Listen.
It's so hard to put up with classless and ignorant people.
No one asks how many people watched a low-budget movie.
It was a scheduling issue,
- not a money issue. - So I lack class.
- Ignorance... - I hope you get along.
(He ends the fight.)
(He brings about peace.)
Why did you say no?
At first, it's because I wasn't confident.
"My Sassy Girl"...
was a huge hit and it's a beloved movie.
Why did that put pressure on you?
I...
Shouldn't Tae Hyun be the one to feel pressured?
- Why were you... - Why you?
Please explain.
I'm not saying it's my responsibility.
- It's Tae Hyun's responsibility. - I wanted to do a good job.
I wasn't feeling responsible though. I didn't know if he was.
I guess I took it upon myself.
Victoria, while you were busy working elsewhere,
another fellow Chinese lady has conquered the variety shows.
Yes, I heard about her.
- Yes, her. - Cao...
- Cao Lu. - Right.
Top stars do this all the time.
- "What's her name? Oh, right." - "Who? Oh, her?"
Then they go, "Oh, that girl?"
Are you Han Chinese?
- Yes. - Cao Lu's Miao Chinese.
China has a lot of ethnic minority groups.
- Is she in the majority? - The Han are the majority.
- Miao is a minor ethnic group. - Yes.
I would say she has a sense of superiority.
- Is that what you think? - That's what I think.
- We won't comment on that. - That's my opinion.
- It's Gu Ra's opinion. - It's my opinion.
- I think... - He's so ignorant.
That's more like me being superficial...
or shallow.
I'm very shallow.
I have a shallow understanding of the different ethnic groups.
I'm sure those feelings exist. Am I right?
No, not really.
(I see.)
(Giggling)
So, Cao Lu...
- She isn't Cao Lu. - She's Victoria.
See?
You're so shallow.
You're a shallow person.
I'm sorry for being so shallow.
(We're sorry, Victoria.)
Victoria, Cao Lu showed us...
the Chinese equivalent of a tongue twister.
- She showed us. - She did it in Mandarin.
Is there a Chinese tongue twister?
- That's the Korean version. - Yes.
We do this in China.
(Is this an alien language?)
Did you make that up?
- No, it's... - You made that up.
- Do you know that one? - Yes.
We say it to practise our pronunciation.
By the way, when I first came to Korea as a trainee...
to become a singer,
I told a short story to practise my Korean pronunciation.
- Don't laugh. - We won't.
A dry chocolate chip cookie from the Dry Chocolate Chip Cookie Land...
wanted to be a moist chocolate chip cookie,
so he went to the Moist Chocolate Chip Cookie Land.
The sentry at the Moist Chocolate Chip Land Cookie said,
"You aren't a moist chocolate chip cookie."
"You are a dry chocolate chip cookie,"
"so go back to the Dry Chocolate Chip Cookie Land."
That's it.
- That was... - That's amazing.
Even we can't do that.
We have a famous tongue twister about soy sauce.
People don't consume much soy sauce.
What are you talking about?
You're f(x)'s leader and each time you're away, something happens.
This time, we found out that Krystal is dating.
- With Kai. - Who is it? Yes, Kai.
- Did you know about that? - I bet she did.
I bet she did.
- Yes, I did. - You knew about them.
Victoria, are you in a relationship?
- No, I am not. - Of course she'll deny it.
- Are they a good match? - Yes, they are.
Both of them are good-looking.
- Why aren't you in a relationship? - Me?
- You're good-looking, too. - Kangta likes you a lot.
- Kangta? - Why are you bringing him up?
- Perhaps in the future... - Why are you ignoring him?
I am telling you that Kangta used to like you a lot.
- Why are you bringing him up? - Kangta liked you a lot.
He is almost Chinese now.
- He is? - Yes, he is almost Chinese now.
You want to introduce him to her?
- They'd make a good pair. - He is in China half of the time.
- Yes, he's almost Chinese now. - Does that make him Chinese?
Yes, it does.
- He's almost Chinese now. - He wants to apply for citizenship.
- Give it some thought. - I see Gu Ra hasn't changed a bit.
(She is a sassy girl who isn't cowed by Gu Ra.)
Jin Ho, I heard that you liked being invited to Radio Star...
because it made you feel recognised.
- You prepared to recite a poem. - It's a poem recital.
- This is his first question. - He will be fine.
Is it your own poem?
No, it's a poem written by someone else that touched my heart.
I wanted to recite a poem instead of singing.
Is that the poem in your hand?
- Yes, it is. - Let's hear it.
- Right now? - Yes, right now.
Please recite it right now.
I thought I would be doing it on the stage later.
This isn't a talent show.
That stage is for singing a song.
- I thought I would be on the stage. - This isn't a talent show.
This isn't "Literature Night".
Please recite the poem now.
He will be reciting a poem as soon as he starts talking.
("I Thought Mother Was Okay" by Shim Soon Deok)
"I thought Mother was okay."
"Even if she worked all day at the field,"
"I thought Mother was okay."
"Even if she ate a ball of cold rice in the kitchen for lunch,"
"I thought Mother was okay."
"Even if her husband got angry and her children caused troubles,"
"I thought Mother was okay."
"Even when she said she misses her mother,"
"I thought of it as a simple complaint."
"When I woke up in the middle of the night..."
"and saw her weeping quietly,"
"I realised Mother was not okay."
- My goodness. - It's sad.
It's a sad poem.
- It touched my heart. - It ruined the atmosphere.
It's a good poem, but it ruined the atmosphere of the show.
Why did you recite a poem?
I don't read poems often,
but this poem touched my heart.
I am at where I am,
thanks to other people's help.
I hoped to give some recognition...
to good poems and talented individuals.
I recited a poem to cheer the others on.
We made him recite a poem without much of an introduction.
We don't even know much about him.
- The poem right after saying hello. - Seriously.
I thought I would get to recite it on the stage.
(He is a serious man with unexpected charms.)
Tae Hyun, I heard that you gave a gift that's made of gold...
to every actor and staff member at the film's after-party.
That must have been expensive.
Every time I shot a film,
I bought clothing items for the staff members.
It's something I have always done,
but it didn't feel right to give the same present every time.
My presents were getting old. So I gave it some thought...
and decided to give everyone a piece of gold on a card.
I wrote a message on the card with gold on it...
addressed to the team, for "My New Sassy Girl".
That's impressive.
- Wasn't it expensive? - It must have cost a fortune.
I spent about 35,000 to 40,000 dollars.
- My goodness. - There were more than 100 people.
What about a gift made of silver?
(He hasn't thought about it.)
What about bronze?
Do you think silver would make a nice gift?
What about a gift made of lead?
- No one would like that. - You can use it for diving.
It will be bad for your health.
- It can give you lead poisoning. - It's bad for you.
(This middle-aged man wants to lead a healthy and long life.)
Did Seong Woo, Victoria and Jin Ho receive gold, too?
- Yes. - Yes, I did.
- How did you feel about the gift? - I was very grateful.
It was a good idea.
You gave them gold so that they can change it to cash later on, right?
The message on the card says, "You are dead if you sell it."
- Did you bring the card? - Yes, I did.
- "You are dead if you sell it"? - That's why I kept the card.
- It's easy to carry. - That's gold.
- That's 7.5g of gold. - Yes.
- It's for "My New Sassy Girl" team. - This is nice.
"Thank you for your hard work."
- There is a guarantee on the back. - That's the card.
I wouldn't call it a lucky charm,
- but I hope it brings good luck. - It might do that.
- That's what I am hoping. - "Sell it if you are desperate."
That's witty.
You should give it to every celebrity you meet.
Why would I do that?
- Everyone will appreciate it. - Gu Ra wants the card.
My goodness.
Who am I to give out gold?
"Hello, I am Cha Tae Hyun."
It will be like his business card.
People will line up to meet you.
- I want that card. - Celebrities will line up.
(Get in the line.)
Do you always give staff members...
- a gift? - I do.
- Do you feel obligated to? - For every film and drama,
I give staff members a gift at an after-party or a team dinner.
It was only for "The Producers" that I didn't do the same.
- I didn't feel the need to. - You are right.
- There were A-list celebrities. - For me to give gifts...
would have seemed like an overreaction.
Had I given them gold,
- I would have looked pathetic. - You are right.
They would wonder why he was doing it.
That's right.
Imagine me giving gold to Kim Soo Hyun.
- It would be awkward. - Would he appreciate it?
- I thought it would be strange. - You made the right choice.
"I know Tae Hyun is short on money."
Victoria, I heard that Tae Hyun moved you on your birthday.
Yes, he did.
He gave me a hand-written letter.
It was a short message on a card.
He wrote, "Let's make sure our film is a hit."
It had been so long since I received a hand-written letter.
- It was a nice gesture from him. - It touched you.
Would giving you a mooncake on your birthday move you?
Mooncakes are for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
- Since Victoria is Chinese... - Your ignorance is showing, Gu Ra.
You're so dumb.
- Mooncakes are popular in China. - Gu Ra is shallow.
What are you talking about?
It would be like giving songpyeon to a Korean as a birthday present.
(Why did he even bring up mooncakes?)
(Gu Ra is embarrassed.)
- Seong Woo, when is your birthday? - It's in November.
I see.
- I am a Scorpio. - You are a Scorpio.
- All right. - You do look like a scorpion.
Jin Ho, what did you do on your birthday?
My birthday is still far away. I shouldn't have recited a poem.
- It's okay. - It's okay. The poem was nice.
It's over and done with.
(Even when everyone was laughing,)
(this man felt bad about having recited a poem.)
Well, no wonder he looked so deep in thoughts.
- Don't be discouraged. - I wanted to do well.
- You did a good job. - Why did you make me do it?
It's over now.
Poems will help you in the future with programmes.
The poem recital will be the highlight of this episode.
Your face has darkened.
Maybe his liver is under stress.
Maybe you shouldn't have recited a poem.
You shouldn't have.
(Saddened)
He shouldn't have recited a poem.
(The aftermath of his poem recital weighs down on him.)
Seong Woo, you and the director had a hard time...
on the set of "Veteran" because Oh Dal Su.
The scene involved me running and Dal Su following me in a car.
Dal Su told me that he is not good at driving.
Balance was crucial for shooting that scene.
There must be a distance between you and the car.
The film crew was in another car,
so the three of us needed to move at the same speed.
Dal Su had to say his lines and...
hand me things like water and handcuffs in that scene.
Isn't it exhausting to run? I can give you a ride.
Do you want water?
Thank you.
Get in the car, will you?
(Seong Woo is busy running.)
- All right. Let's go. - Good idea.
That was a difficult scene.
You know how some cars lock themselves at a certain speed.
The scene required me to say "Let's go" and hop on the car,
but the door was locked. Since Dal Su was so preoccupied,
he didn't even realise that the door had locked.
I said, "I thought you told me to get in the car!"
- That line was an ad-lib. - I see.
Since the door was locked even though he told me to get in,
I said, "Unlock the door first."
- That part... - It got edited out.
The staff members loved the ad-lib because they know the full story,
but it might be different for viewers.
Why didn't the director keep your ad-lib in the film?
I just told you. While the ad-lib is funny when you know the full story,
- it might be different for viewers. - No, it is funny.
- Viewers would have found it funny. - You think so?
- Yes, I do. - Gu Ra sounds like a director.
- Listen.
Even the door of small cars...
- locks itself at a certain speed. - That's right.
Every viewer is familiar with the mechanism.
Why did the director edit out the ad-lib?
- It's a finished matter. - I didn't get a say on editing.
"Veteran" already reached 10 million viewers.
The ad-lib would have gotten it 30,000 more viewers.
(That's ridiculous.)
Among our four guests, Seong Woo is the only one...
who has stepped on the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival.
Which film of yours got you invited?
It was "Office".
Your pose on the red carpet was the talk of the town.
"Bae Seong Woo at Cannes Film Festival".
(Really?)
- He is searching for a picture. - I'll show you.
Look.
Seong Woo is giving a thumbs-up.
(Thumbs-up)
On the second picture, he is giving a thumbs-up with the other hand.
(Thumbs-up with the other hand)
Here comes the question.
Is there a reason why you gave a thumbs-up twice?
What kind of question is that?
That's an absurd question.
He used his left hand to give a thumbs-up sign.
Then he used his right hand in this one.
- Why did he use both hands? - It's a meaningless gesture.
- I can use both of my hands. - That's right.
Just because I can.
- Many people were curious. - Really?
No, they weren't. Don't be ridiculous.
Actually, the scriptwriters were curious.
(Dizzy)
Was there a meaning behind your thumbs-up sign?
Did they mean, "Cannes Film Festival is the best"?
Did they mean, "Our film is the best"?
The left one meant the former and the right one meant the latter.
My goodness.
There is a special talent Seong Woo has mastered in school.
I heard he wants to show off his talent on Radio Star today.
Please come in.
- All right. - He can spin anything.
- Really? - He is good at balancing.
- This is heavy. - Let's start with a book.
I have done this in a film.
- "My Love, My Bride". - I often get asked to do this.
I can't believe I am asked to do this on Radio Star.
- Try it with your pinky. - Spin the tray now.
Try it with your pinky.
I can do it with a pinky.
This is a good show.
(The students from the next classroom watch in awe.)
Can you try it with your thumb?
- Try it with your thumb. - I can't do it with my thumb.
- No? - I bet you can do it.
- I don't think I can do it. - Do it like this.
My goodness.
(He almost did it.)
His talent is still impressive. How do you spin a table?
Is there a point doing this?
Of course, there is.
He is good at this.
This table is good for spinning.
(He speeds up.)
- He is speeding up. - How impressive!
(He can join the circus.)
- My goodness. - Great talent!
Should I throw it to you? Would you like to try catching it?
- I'm good at catching things. - It's dangerous to throw a table.
Can you spin with both hands?
I bet he can. You can't?
My left hand is reserved for making a thumbs-up sign.
(He is witty.)
- Let's make him spin a laptop. - Try spinning a laptop.
- Spin this laptop. - That's an expensive laptop.
- Come on. - Can we make it happen?
This will be fun. Try spinning this laptop.
This will be fun.
This will be a good show.
See? He can do it.
(The production crew trembles.)
- My goodness. - He can do it.
He is really talented.
- Great talent! - Should I throw it to you?
- No. - Please don't do that.
(Screaming)
It will be dangerous.
- Try spinning this. - This?
I don't think I can spin it.
(He still tries.)
Had he succeeded, I would have invited him to "The Geeks".
(He's a spinning geek.)
Seong Woo was in the first jazz dance group in the country.
He was involved in many things.
I heard that you taught classes at a community centre.
- Really? - Yes.
- Really? - The first jazz dance group.
Does that mean you were in Jeon Mi Rae Jazz Dance Group?
Yes, I was in Jeon Mi Rae Jazz Dance Group.
I was only a member. I was there to learn.
- I thought dancing will help me. - It helps with acting.
Yes. That's why I learned it.
- Please show us. - I don't dance anymore.
People who are over 40 years old shouldn't dance.
- What? - That means Gook Jin can't dance.
Why not?
(Age doesn't limit one's passion for dancing.)
I can still dance.
(Why shouldn't people in their 40s dance?)
- Even old people can dance. - That's right.
- Look at me. - This is great.
Please dance.
I don't know what to show you.
Do whatever you can.
I forgot everything.
- What kind of music should we play? - Don't play it. It goes like this.
It goes like this.
Is that it?
- This is great. - Gaze into the camera again.
(He made everyone laugh.)
Gaze into the camera again.
- This is called quiver step. - Gaze into the camera.
(The look in my eyes completes the dance.)
(He is almost crying.)
(He is excited to make everyone laugh.)
(Bang)
(This is a bullet of love.)
(He ends the show with turns.)
(He is a funny man.)
- That is nice! - He has learned to dance jazz.
- That was great. - You can dance very well.
Tae Hyun told Victoria...
to become a star like Jun Ji Hyun through "My New Sassy Girl".
I heard that you regret saying those words.
(Does he regret saying those words?)
In the original film,
for both Jun Ji Hyun and me, it was our first time playing leads.
That film brought us fame and popularity.
Since Victoria seemed pressured to be in "My New Sassy Girl",
I told her that I hope the film would do well...
so that she can be a star like Ji Hyun.
You didn't know how popular Victoria is in China.
I realised that she is already a star...
at the production presentation.
(She is a rising star.)
- She thought, "I am a star." - I should worry about myself.
You must have been surprised.
The Chinese drama Victoria starred in...
titled "Beautiful Secret"...
aired its final episode with a viewer rating of 3.98 percent.
- She is very popular. - It's quite a feat.
The Chinese version of "Temptation of Wife"...
held a record for 10 years with a viewer rating of 3.45 percent.
- "Beautiful Secret" surpassed that. - It broke the record in China.
Tae Hyun had the audacity to tell Victoria...
to become a star with this movie.
(She was already a famous star.)
I want to become a star with "My New Sassy Girl".
- I want to become a star in China. - That's right.
I am asking this question because I want to know.
Are you more popular than Liu Yifei?
- Who? - Liu Yifei.
I see.
- Liu Yifei or Fan Bingbing. - No, I am not.
- Is Bingbing more popular? - They became...
- A-list celebrities long time ago. - I see.
- Are they more popular? - Yes, they are.
- I asked the Chinese fans... - Fine.
how Victoria's popularity compares to that of Ji Hyun.
They told me that they see the two stars differently.
- Ji Hyun is like a foreign star. - I see.
Does that mean she is like Ida Daussy?
- Come on. - Ji Hyun is a star.
I think it would be more like how Koreans see Tom Cruise.
- I see. - I heard that Victoria is...
just one step behind Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing.
Who are the five most beautiful women in China?
- The four most beautiful women. - Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing...
The list differs depending on the source.
- The two are already popular. - Give me four names.
Tang Wei, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei...
(Flustered)
Who are the four beauties of China?
Kyu Hyun found a list. Yang Guifei?
Yang Guifei and Diaochan.
- Yu Miaoyi is on the list. - Diaochan.
Lu Bu loved her very much.
(She didn't make the list because of the ancient beauties.)
Victoria, your partner in the drama...
is the husband of Angelababy, Huang Xiaoming.
Yes, he is Angelababy's husband.
Huang Xiaoming is the man...
who gave his wife a diamond ring that costs 1.8 million dollars.
- Really? - Yes.
Do you want a gift like that?
If someone offers, I will take it.
The hesitation is very obvious. She wants a diamond ring.
Kangta won't be enough for her.
- Listen. - I won't talk about him anymore.
- Listen. - I see that it won't work out.
If someone gives you a diamond ring, won't you take it?
I won't take it.
It will be burdensome.
Diamond doesn't suit you.
(Diamond doesn't suit Gu Ra.)
Tae Hyun's gift of gold is nothing in comparison.
- My goodness. - I shouldn't have said anything.
Did Huang Xiaoming give you any? You were his partner in a drama.
- What do you mean? - Tae Hyun gave you gold.
I am better in that sense.
You are.
(He is proud of himself.)
- Tae Hyun gave her a gift. - I know.
- I am better in that sense. - Tae Hyun is the best.
- He is my ideal type. - I am better in that sense.
Is he your ideal type?
Kangta won't do.
Kangta isn't her ideal type.
- Kangta has big eyes. - He looks nothing like Tae Hyun.
You haven't changed at all.
Why would I change?
(Victoria is a sassy girl with many charms.)
Jin Ho, all you did so far is reciting a poem.
We need to ask him questions.
We will ask you questions from now on.
You are in "My New Sassy Girl", right?
I am.
- Why else would he be here? - He was so quiet.
- Why else would he be here? - He was oddly quiet.
- Did you think he was a poet? - For goodness' sake.
I thought he was a poet.
(I shouldn't have recited a poem.)
- My goodness. - What an absurd thought!
You were the news anchor in "The Terror Live".
That's right.
I heard that Ha Jung Woo mistook you for a real anchor.
- Really? - Your acting fooled him.
How did you act as an anchor?
Wouldn't the video clip be added afterwards?
- I know you prepared it. - It's in your script.
There were too many things to memorise.
I don't want to recite anything anymore.
(The poem recital was traumatic.)
- This will be different. - Get this one right.
We will have conversations after this bit.
- I promise you. - It's time to overcome the past.
Act as an anchor.
(He was mistaken for a real anchor.)
(Who are you?)
I will move on to the next question.
Last October, Yoon Young Hwa won a special award...
which furthered his career as a reporter.
However, it recently came to light...
that the exclusive news which won him the award...
was covered by Reporter Lee Ji Su.
He seemed like a real anchor.
You played a Chinese character in "The Thieves".
What did that entail?
- I played One Eye. - Okay.
I hoped appearing in "The Thieves" and "The Terror Live"...
will give me more recognition.
However, people mistook me for an anchor in "The Terror Live"...
and a Chinese person in "The Thieves".
Really?
People thought you were a Chinese actor.
Do you want to see my act as One Eye?
(He spoke and looked like a Chinese actor.)
(He must be a talented Chinese actor.)
(Speaking Chinese)
- What did he say? - "You, rascal."
(Why did he choose that line?)
"You, rascal."
"You lack fear."
That's what he said.
He speaks Chinese very well.
- You speak four languages? - You speak English well, too.
When I filmed "My New Sassy Girl",
I met Jin Ho for the first time.
I was surprised that he spoke Chinese so well.
Can you speak Chinese for us?
Say what you said back then.
(It feels like we're in China hearing them speak Chinese.)
(Are you having a tough time?)
(No, I'm not.)
- Ask if he's a poet. - What?
Ask if he's a poet.
(Are you a poet?)
(Angry)
What did he say?
"Don't talk nonsense."
"You're speaking nonsense."
I hear you're the most realistic actor out there.
Really?
For the drama "Friend",
did you harm yourself during the audition?
I heard you shocked Director Kwak Kyung Taek.
That's why I didn't get the part.
He was shocked so he decided to not cast you.
- "What's with him?" - He couldn't do it.
How was it?
How did you harm yourself?
I cut myself a few times.
Really?
- I cut myself with a knife. - Really?
During the audition?
I always bring a knife for auditions for violent scenes.
I was suddenly asked to do a scene where I threaten someone.
So I cut myself while threatening someone.
Do you have scars?
No, because I got a laser treatment.
You got a laser treatment?
- You did? - I guess you've done this before.
He has to do it again.
He has to audition again.
I see why you're called the most realistic actor.
You looked like a real Chinese man, too.
How long have you been an actor?
I've been an actor for nearly 20 years.
Were you a theatre actor?
- No. - No theatre?
I used to do judo.
- What? - How unexpected.
You did judo?
- Judo? - You did judo?
Until university?
I started in middle school and did it until my second year in college.
- Did you win anything? - In any competitions?
Nothing like that.
Did you go to a sports university?
No, I didn't.
- You're getting it all wrong. - All my guesses are off.
(He's impossible to read.)
In the movie, there was an action scene.
In that scene, his character was catching on fire.
He should've used a stand-in.
He can just get a laser treatment afterwards.
- He did it himself. - He can get laser.
He did it himself.
Didn't your arm break while filming?
- Yes, it did. - He broke his arm while filming.
I always thought that...
I'd be fine getting injured for the sake of the film.
But it was different when it really happened.
I heard you were moved when Tae Hyun who's known to be a nice guy...
got angry for your sake.
I was in pain but I didn't know that my arm was injured.
There's a scene where Victoria kicked me...
and I fell into a swimming pool.
It happened in January and it was very cold.
My arm was really hurting, and...
filming kept getting delayed, he got angry and cursed the staff.
Did you just want to curse, Tae Hyun?
- It was for Jin Ho's sake? - Yes.
He was holding my hand.
I was having a tough time due to the cold weather.
I realised then what a good person he was.
(Is this a compliment or an insult?)
Is this a compliment or what?
- What did you say? - He probably just caused an uproar.
"What the heck is going on?"
He's realistic, all right.
A nice guy like Tae Hyun cursed?
(Tae Hyun is ruined by the realism.)
It shows leadership.
Sometimes, you need to get angry to get things done.
But it's important to note who can get angry.
The wrong person can't get angry.
On that day, the staff didn't do anything wrong.
The circumstances had been tough for a few days with the cold weather.
He was in the water after having fallen in once before.
After filming the wide shot,
he was already in the water waiting,
but they weren't filming him.
He was shaking so badly we couldn't even use the footage.
I didn't understand why we weren't shooting.
I exploded.
What happens if a supporting actor gets angry?
They would just assume he's got that kind of personality.
Things would probably get strange on set.
His personality is a bit...
What if an extra got angry?
"What is this?"
It's simple. They would be told to leave.
The original sassy girl is Jun Ji Hyun.
Of course.
Being in the film by yourself, did it worry you?
Well, I worried a lot prior to deciding to do the movie.
I wondered whether doing the movie was the right move.
But suddenly, I really missed Gyeon Woo.
It might sound strange.
I'm not a method actor.
I'm the opposite of Jin Ho. I always acted like Gyeon Woo in every role.
- So... - I see.
I got offered roles like Gyeon Woo doing horseback riding.
Or Gyeon Woo with a beard.
(While riding a horse...)
Gyeon Woo!
(or with a beard...)
Gyeon Woo!
- That's my style of acting. - I see.
He's my favourite character.
I can't separate myself from him.
I always did roles that were different versions of Gyeon Woo.
Before I got older,
I really wanted to play Gyeon Woo again.
So I stopped worrying.
From the start of filming until it ended,
I had never been happier while filming.
Make sure you get over two million viewers.
- It'll do well. - I'm sure it'll top that.
It'll exceed that for sure if it's released in China.
It'll do great in China if Xi Jinping watches it.
If Xi Jinping sees it, right?
Do you have any connections?
You handle that.
Seong Woo, you're 45 years old this year.
I hear this movie was the first time you went overseas.
- Yes. - You never filmed overseas?
Honestly, it hasn't been that long...
since I acted in films because I was in theatre.
- I acted on stage. - In musicals, right?
You never travelled overseas for pleasure?
- No. - The thumbs-up came after that?
- Yes. - It was after the movie.
It was my first time overseas in China.
Cannes was the second time.
- Right after China. - His second trip was in Cannes.
That's why you did double thumbs-up.
(Double thumbs-up for his second trip)
Seong Woo, your younger brother is Bae Seong Jae?
(Double thumbs-up runs in the family.)
You were on the variety show "Global Junior Show" together?
Yes, a while back we were on a special episode on Chuseok.
Brothers and sisters were on the programme.
I was almost completely edited out.
All I said was that the announcer was pretty.
Does your brother who's an announcer have worse spelling than you?
No, he doesn't.
He's an announcer so when we text,
people ask if I watch my spelling. But I don't.
He uses a lot of slang while texting.
I don't use slang.
He's still young.
He uses slang even though he's an announcer?
I'm curious what he says.
He started off as a reporter on an entertainment show.
He interviewed Jun Ji Hyun. He's a big fan.
- I asked if it went well. - He answered yes.
- "Was she pretty?" - Crazy pretty.
He did?
(His image is ruined because of his brother.)
He's a human being, after all.
- He was expressing his happiness. - Yes.
- Of course. - She was so pretty.
Does Seong Jae have a special nickname for you?
Yes, he calls me his sister.
(Did we hear correctly?)
Why would he do that?
- Why would an announcer do that? - Really?
The term originates from a Korean word.
It's what you call someone older than you who is of the same gender.
Long time a go,
men referred to each other like that, too.
Why do you need to be so unique?
It's not like that.
I'm not making a statement that it's the right term to use.
My mother was really passionate about the Korean language.
The word for "brother" comes from China.
The word for "sister" is from Korea.
It's what you call to an older sibling you're close to.
When he was a teenager, he didn't want to call me that.
Especially when others were around,
he would call me his brother all of a sudden.
I didn't get it.
Did you ever consider dressing like a woman...
for your embarrassed brother's sake?
To become a real sister.
For your younger brother's sake.
- Grow your hair. - It's too much hassle.
Both of them would have to dress like women.
- Seong Jae would also need to. - That's right.
(We're the double thumbs-up sisters.)
They need to do it together.
Tae Hyun, you still carry around the letter your wife wrote you in 2008?
I've been carrying it around for a long time.
Do you still have it?
- I keep the older pictures too. - Let's see.
- You look so young. - This is from back in high school.
Is that you, Tae Hyun?
- You're kids. - Why do you have three corndogs?
She probably ate two.
There's the letter...
- to her beloved husband. - I guess I was having a tough time.
"Honey, it's tough lately, right?"
"I sometimes tear up when I watch you sleep."
"You work so hard."
"You hold everything inside because you're so nice."
"You look especially pitiful today. Sorry I can't be much of a help."
It's so sweet.
Were you having a tough time back then?
I guess, I was.
I suppose I was carrying it wherever because it helped me.
- What are you doing? - I'm looking for...
Everyone has something in their wallet.
This is a lucky charm given by my ex-wife.
- I should throw this out. - Why?
This was given by my ex-wife.
I had a tough time when I was using this wallet.
That's why I kept this charm in the wallet.
- Are you going to throw it out? - What?
I shouldn't just throw it out.
I'll put this in my son's wallet.
(I'll put this in my son's wallet.)
Victoria, I heard your ideal guy used to be like Song Seung Heon.
- He's going out with Liu Yifei. - Yes. He was, long time ago.
(She emphasises that it was a long ago.)
But it became Cha Tae Hyun.
- Yes. That's right. - It's a very drastic change.
- No, it's... - The way I see it,
she didn't think of this thoroughly.
- What are you talking about? - You love how he plays hard to get.
Yes. I really loved his movie, "My Sassy Girl".
I mean the original one. When I watched the movie,
I thought, "Why would a girl as beautiful as her..."
"like a guy who is unfortunate?"
But as I worked with him, I realised that...
his real-life personality matches the main character's.
Also, he is even more attractive...
than his character in the movie.
Whenever I see him before the shoot,
I ask him if he wants to have some bread or snacks.
Then he goes...
"No. I don't eat those."
And when we take a rest after shooting a scene,
Tae Hyun comes in and...
asks, "What is this?"
(What is this?)
(She is imitating Tae Hyun.)
"I don't like it."
(But he drank it.)
And he keeps drinking it, anyway.
Whenever I give him a chocolate saying it's delicious,
he says, "I don't eat chocolate." After a while...
- he will eat it. - I see him eating it.
- He says he doesn't want it. - Do you like fickle men?
Fickle men?
- There are many guys like him. - I think she likes lying men.
There are so many guys doing things on a whim.
- Maybe she likes a blunt person. - Why are you staring at her?
- You're gazing at her. - She's talking. I have to listen.
- He looks at her with dirty eyes. - I'm just listening to her story.
Look at how he stares at her. My goodness.
(He can break a window by his eyes.)
- Yes. - I thought Tae Hyun is gentle.
When I first met him, he was blunter and pickier than I thought.
- But he can be unexpectedly kind. - Yes.
- You're right. - A few days ago, our producer...
said she wanted to talk to me about the show.
She wanted to have dinner with me so I said, "Yes."
But she invited me to her house.
I said, "Why should I go to your house? No. I won't go."
She asked me why but I just said, "Why would I? No. I'm not going."
"Let's just meet outside. I won't go to your house."
I refused to go to her house.
I think he can't stand seeing a happy family.
- Our producer has three happy kids. - Yes.
- He's not used to a happy family. - You're right.
He is not good with children either.
- That's right. - I understand.
- Am I right? - Yes.
- I'm just shy. - I understand.
By the way, is that the only reason why you like Tae Hyun?
- No. Also... - Because he just eats things.
- You can't expect what he'll do. - Right.
- You like someone unpredictable. - That's a whimsical person.
I can't look at her anymore...
because you said I'm giving her a sly look.
Where were you looking all this time?
- He was looking there. - I was looking at the screen.
(He was looking at the screen.)
- I was looking at the screen. - It's as if he was watching TV.
- Seong Woo is... - I didn't want to be misunderstood.
- Look at Victoria. - You can look at her.
- Go on. - All right.
(I can't look at her naturally.)
Seong Woo is a more experienced actor so...
I always talk to him politely.
But in the movie,
I have to talk to him like a friend.
If the director doesn't say, "Cut", I will have to keep talking.
Then, I will start to talk politely again.
- You're back to reality. - I keep talking...
to him politely.
- You changed your character. - After shooting,
Tae Hyun said, "You can't talk to him politely in a scene."
"Here's what we'll do. Don't talk to me politely in real life, too."
When he said that, I felt...
I really liked that he said it.
- Did you like that? - Yes. I was surprised.
"An old man wants me to talk to him like a friend."
(The reason why she was touched)
(He's a sad 41-year-old man.)
Victoria is known to be sassy.
You say that plants have feelings and you can talk to them.
After my debut,
I was on the show, "Invincible Youth".
Back then, I couldn't speak Korean well.
I couldn't talk to people that much.
- So you talked to the plants. - So when I wanted to...
say something, I just talked to the plants.
They always listen to me.
- You're right. - I understand.
- Did it help you learn Korean? - What kind of plants...
What kind of plants did you talk to?
- Tomatoes and... - Were they good listeners?
- They were fine. - Right.
How about cucumbers?
- Cucumbers were fine, too. - Did you talk to carrots, too?
- Carrots? - They are shy. Their face is red.
- They're very shy. - At home,
- I still... - They're hiding under the ground.
Yes. They hide under the ground.
- When I... - They're shy. All right.
came back home from a long stay in China...
There are dolls sitting on my couch.
So whenever I come back home,
I say, "Hey guys, I'm back!"
- It's great. - Yes.
- You're so attractive. - Right.
Was your house empty during your stay abroad?
Yes. Do you want to live in my house?
- When you come back to Korea... - Why should I live there?
- Will you let me use your bidet? - He doesn't go to others' house.
(Gu Ra doesn't go to other people's house.)
I don't go to other people's house.
(I don't go to other people's house.)
- He's a shy person. - He's like a carrot.
(Gu Ra is as shy as a carrot.)
I heard Tae Hyun's wife decides when to come home...
depending on Song Joong Ki.
All of my friends' wives are crazy about him.
If someone else shows up, they'll be crazy about him later.
- Did you have to say that? - I mean...
Can't you say it after someone has shown up?
(Please?)
I haven't seen her switching someone she likes so fast...
- in a long time. - Women in 30s and 40s love him.
She used to like Park Bo Gum but now, she likes Song Joong Ki.
- She switched it so fast. - I wonder if that's possible.
- I was surprised. - They say their hearts flutter.
When I talk to the women in the neighbourhood,
they are all the same.
They all used to like Bo Gum.
- Suddenly, they all... - Don't they talk about Bo Gum?
They feel bad for Bo Gum.
They say, "Poor Bo Gum. It happened so fast."
- I had a drink with Joong Ki. - Really?
I was having drinks with my wife near my house and...
I got a call from Joong Ki.
He was with Chang Suk and they wanted to join us.
So I let them.
- There must have been a fuss. - He made a big fuss in that area.
Did your wife invite someone?
She invited just one person.
- That's right. You have to brag. - One person came.
- Right. - It makes you feel good.
- "Look who I'm with." - I saw her text messages and...
someone even said, "What did you do to deserve that?"
It was crazy. There was...
- "I should have been there." - They really love Joong Ki.
It was so funny.
- You were popular too, Tae Hyun. - Personally, I think...
you can't guarantee that Joong Ki will be popular 10 years from now.
- All right. - Why are you yelling?
- We'll see after 10 years. - We're just enjoying the story.
He doesn't like stories where other people are successful.
Also, he doesn't visit other people's houses.
(He keeps mentioning that.)
- That's why I can't steal things. - He doesn't like others to succeed.
- Because you can't visit them? - I can pick pockets, though.
(I can pick pockets, though.)
(He finds it funny.)
Tae Hyun, you always invite a singer to a party...
after the last shoot in your work.
- I always invite Jong Kook. - Kim Jong Kook.
Now, we will have a routine.
I will play a song and tell him to come in.
He comes in singing, "There was a man''
He comes in, sings a few songs...
and I let him go home. He doesn't stay.
- Really? - I just say, "Okay. You can go."
- Is that an event? - Yes, it is.
- Won't you invite Kyung Min? - People don't like Kyung Min.
"People don't like Kyung Min."
("People don't like Kyung Min.")
(The 41-year-old man is having fun teasing his friend.)
They say you'll sing duet songs with him, right?
- We recorded one two days ago. - Why didn't you sing with...
- Jong Kook? - I can't sing duets with him.
- I can't. - He sings with a very high tone.
- I see. It is because of his tone. - He can sing the girl's part.
He can dress up like a girl, too.
(Hello. We're a mixed duet, Best Friend.)
Kyung Min talked to me about singing duets before.
He named our team as Hong Cha.
- Hong Cha. - I like it.
- Hong Cha. - Hong Cha. It's a good name.
- How about Cha Hong? - There is a person named Cha Hong.
- Hong Cha is better. - Hong Cha is easier to say.
You can ask Cha Hong to do your hair.
(You can ask Cha Hong to do your hair.)
(It's Hong Cha and Cha Hong's collaboration.)
There are great stories about Tae Hyun's father.
Tae Hyun became famous after he appeared on...
a KBS show, "Super Talent". So his father did volunteer work in KBS.
- My father used to work for KBS. - That's right.
My father was...
a deputy head of the Effects Department.
- He retired, of course. - He did.
Yes. But before he did,
every Monday, he always brought...
seven towels to his work.
- Always. - All right.
Then he hangs one...
in the restroom each day.
- For the employees. - Right.
- He was grateful for your debut. - Yes.
Why do you refuse whenever your father suggests...
that the two of you be on a TV show?
- I did do it a few times. - Oh, you did.
My father really loves it.
- He loves being on TV. - Yes.
- You make him buy it for everyone. - That's right.
Thanks to "Two Days and One Night", I keep spending money.
(His wallet has become lighter since he had parties for Tae Hyun.)
Don't worry. I'll give you enough money.
Everyone knows you. Keep your words.
(You have to keep your words.)
(He is as funny as his son.)
My mother is a very shy person.
But she is very famous.
(She was the voice behind Young Shim, Na Ae Ri and Eom Ji.)
My father is very outgoing but...
- he isn't famous. - But he is not famous.
- They're the opposite. - So, when they want to cast...
one of my parents, they prefer my mother.
- But my father wants to be on TV. - Your father wants it more.
I heard he applied to be on the "Qualifications of Men"...
for the choir episode himself.
He actually wanted to be a panellist...
- on a programme. - Is he witty?
- Yes, he is. - He's like Yoon Mun Sik.
He is. That's why he was invited...
on many television programmes.
None of them wanted to him as a regular, though.
(I'm not okay.)
Seong Woo, when you were in a children's play,
I heard you were harshly criticised for your acting skills.
I was a member of the Hakchon Theatre troupe for a long time.
- Right. - They're famous for "Line 1".
They have performed many famous works.
I played in their first children's play.
It had a very nice and realistic plot.
It reflected children's daily lives.
- Why were you criticised? - Why did you receive criticism?
It wasn't actually criticism. We played children in the play.
If we awkwardly pretend to be children,
the kids will be honest and judge you immediately.
They'll make remarks like, "They're annoying"...
- in the middle of the performance. - Really?
What's interesting was,
when the kids started to focus on the play,
- they become totally immersed. - That's true.
Because the play was about themselves,
the audience responded enthusiastically.
We were taking our curtain call.
We were making eye contact with the audience.
(A girl called Seong Woo over.)
It was a girl.
She gave me her phone number.
(The girl gave him her phone number.)
(He was hit on by a little girl.)
(Will you give me a call?)
Was she in middle school or high school?
- She was in elementary school. - Elementary school?
(She was an elementary school student.)
- She was in elementary school? - I played a third grader.
(She thought he was about her age.)
She must have texted, "Meet me at the stationary."
(Meet me at the stationary.)
Seong Woo was in the movie, "Bedevilled",
and he raped his brother's wife in the movie.
He played a murderer in the movie, "The Phone".
In the movie, "Office", he played a serial killer.
I heard you don't think you look scary...
and wonder why you're always cast as an evil character.
In the movies that were released last year...
- You played evil characters. - Yes, I played evil characters.
It started with the movie, "Bedevilled".
From then on, my characters always seemed to be raping someone.
I kept playing those characters.
- Did you appear only briefly? - Yes.
- You raped someone and went home. - Yes.
The director said, "It's a small role but I need your help."
So I asked him, "What's the role?"
"Which would you like to play, a homeless man or a rapist?"
"I'll play the rapist."
(A homeless man or a rapist)
It's because I thought the rapist role requires...
a bit more acting skills.
I know it sounds bad but it's not like that.
- It's not like that. - Of course.
Of course rape is unforgivable.
You look like a kind man.
Actually, I used to hear that a lot. People said I look very kind...
and ordinary.
It seems like directors don't cast actors that look intimidating...
and instead they cast kind-looking actors for evil characters.
- What was your first movie? - "Crush and Blush".
(This was his first acting role.)
I appeared only briefly.
The director Jang Cheol Soo watched that movie and thought,
"That person would be perfect for the rapist role."
(He would be perfect for the rapist role.)
This is life.
(You never know what will happen.)
(He's positive and prolific actor.)
In the movie, "The Beauty Inside",
Seong Woo shot his first kiss scene,
- and it was with Han Hyo Joo. - Yes.
I heard that after shooting that scene,
Hyo Joo almost burst into tears.
The male lead was played by many actors.
He changes into another person everyday.
- Park Seo Jun was one of them. - There were even women.
- Right. - Some of the actors...
were supposed to kiss Hyo Joo in the final scene.
In reality, it was one person. He was proposing to her.
One day, I was told to come over to shoot the kiss scene.
When I got there,
I found a line of people.
(When will it be my turn?)
- They're professionals. - Yes, they are.
"When will it be my turn?"
"I'm in a hurry. What should I do?"
"What's your number?" "I'm Number 17."
"I should go first."
(There's no romance. They're professionals.)
Everybody had to be there on that day.
- Everyone was there. - That would've been interesting.
- I liked the movie. - It was hilarious.
- The situation was funny. - I saw some familiar faces.
I asked one of them, "Are you waiting for your turn?"
"Yes. It'll take another hour."
I had to wait for a while.
How many actors were there?
- There were 20 to 30 actors. - 20 to 30 actors?
There were definitely more than 20.
It's supposed to be one person, but his looks constantly change,
- so she had to kiss many people. - In the movie,
he walks towards her, kisses her and looks at her.
Meanwhile, he keeps changing into other people.
You knew they would only show you walking towards her, right?
Yes, I did.
(He knew his kiss scene would be edited out.)
The thing is,
I had never met Hyo Joo before that day.
The other actors had shot romantic scenes with her,
but I had only been in the scene where he changes...
- for the first time. - It wasn't a romantic scene.
It's when he first experiences the symptom.
That's why my scenes were in black and white.
Then you had no reason to kiss Hyo Joo.
Yes, but because I had played the main character,
I had to shoot it. I met Hyo Joo for the first time that day.
I said hello, and she said hello back.
I said, "It must be hard for you." She said, "I'm holding up."
I walked towards her and kissed her.
Afterwards I didn't know what to do. No one had told me.
- "What should I do?" - Did you have to improvise?
I just remembered that it was a panorama shot.
So I thought, "Maybe I should go back to where I was standing."
I walked backwards.
While I was walking backwards...
Like Michael Jackson?
Hyo Joo said, "Where are you going?"
Her voice was trembling.
"Am I not supposed to go back?"
"No, you aren't." I realised we had to shoot again.
- We shot again. - It must have been hard for her.
I knew my kiss scene would be cut out.
- Why did you have to do it? - I knew it would be cut out.
As an actor, I thought I needed to do that.
Why didn't you say, "Do I have to kiss her?"
"I don't think I should."
"Do you think I want to shoot this scene?"
(He's not desperate.)
(Witty)
Jin Ho, when you were given only minor roles,
I heard you survived on 4 bungeoppangs for 3 days.
- I ate only a little each day. - Did you eat from the tail?
- I ate from the head. - Oh.
- What he means is... - You ate from the head.
The head is the best part.
(The head is the tastiest part of a fish.)
(He's serious but somehow funny.)
For how long did you struggle?
- It was quite long. - It was?
It was about 12 to 13 years.
How did you manage to survive for all those years?
- It must have been hard for him. - It's a struggle for actors.
- Many actors live like that. - How could he explain all that?
I mean...
- There might be a nice story. - Don't do that.
- He has his pride. - It was for a long time.
- Do you think he'll talk about it? - It turned out well in the end.
You must have wanted to give up acting sometimes.
I wanted to give up many times. I loved and hated acting.
Sometimes I loved to act,
but other times it caused me pain, and I had a hard time.
It's not only me. Most actors experience that.
- They do. - That's what I mean.
How can he describe what he went through during those 12 years here?
- What can you do about it? - You asked everyone else.
- My goodness. - I can't believe this.
He has his stories that aren't supposed to be told.
(Kyu Hyun thinks it's unfair.)
I'll see what questions you ask him.
Let's see what you ask him.
He must have many sad stories.
Kyu Hyun, is this how you're usually treated here?
(Is this how you're usually treated?)
- This is how I'm treated. - I see.
(It must be hard for you.)
I heard Jin Ho moved scriptwriter Kim Eun Sook...
with a sticky note.
My first supporting role...
was in the drama, "The Heirs".
I have 220 sticky notes...
on my walls.
They're filled with positive quotes on life and acting.
I read them every day.
One of them was a quote by Kim Eun Sook.
"There are magical moments in life."
After the drama was finished, I wrote her a letter...
and gave it to her with the sticky note.
- She was moved. - She would be.
She said it made her feel proud of her occupation.
Among the 200 sticky notes, what is your favourite quote?
Spero Spera.
What does that mean?
"As long as there's life, there's hope."
Now he sounds like a poet again.
- He doesn't want to. - I wanted to know what it meant.
Why did you ask him that?
He recently debuted as a poet.
(Poet Choi Jin Ho)
If Kim Eun Sook was so moved,
why didn't she cast you for "Descendants of the Sun"?
There were no roles that would suit me.
There were a lot. They're soldiers.
- The battalion commanders. - There were a lot of soldiers.
- A soldier would fit you. - It would fit you perfectly.
- He could have done it. - I think...
he could have played Jin Goo's character.
- Jin Goo's fans will be mad. - You could've played him.
He should have played Jin Goo's character.
Nobody is agreeing with you.
- He's a bit too old for that role. - This isn't good for Jin Goo.
I'm sure he could have done a great job.
I want to continue acting. Please stop.
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
The guests today are so attractive...
that anyone who sees them would become a fan.
"These songs will make people become my fans".
Let's listen to the song that Tae Hyun chose.
(What song did Tae Hyun choose?)
It's his number one hit song, "I Love You".
Wouldn't "The Two Lane Bridge" be better?
- I love this song. - It used to be a number one song.
Why did you choose this song?
This song seems to be the most popular among my songs.
- This song is nice. - Because of the poem earlier...
(Me?)
I thought I should sing something with a fast tempo.
(The poet feels bad.)
By the way, Tae Hyun said that...
he would love to be on "King of Mask Singer".
Kids love that programme.
- I think... - Tae Hyun is a great singer, too.
- it'll be very fun. - You should try.
I'm on another programme on the same day,
- so I can't. - You're on "One Night Two Days".
They're at different time slot.
I hope you'll try.
I'd love to.
Gu Ra will know when it's you.
"I know who it is! It must be Cha Tae Hyun!"
He'll say, "I'm 100 percent sure."
I won't say that. I say in a more subtle way these days.
- What would you say? - How would you say it?
"He's very close to his wife's friends."
"He keeps something in his wallet", something like this.
How subtle it is!
(He's so sophisticated.)
Victoria is from Beijing Dance Academy.
She's so strong that when she was in elementary school,
she tore her mother's leather jacket.
You could tear human skin, too.
(That makes sense.)
People usually tear phone books to show off their strength.
(The strongest female celebrity)
I was having a fever for days.
I was scared of hospitals,
but my mum insisted that I should see a doctor.
So I went to a hospital to get an IV fluid.
When I got there...
They stick a needle in your skin.
The bottle was huge.
I got so scared and tried to escape,
but I was stopped by the nurse and my mum.
While struggling, I tore my mum's leather jacket.
Can you try to tear the script?
An elementary school student could tear this.
It'll remind her of the old days.
I could try with your vest.
(You mean this?)
- This is not leather. - Why don't you let her try?
- It's not leather. - It'll be interesting.
Let's listen to Tae Hyun sing "I Love You".
("I Love You" by Cha Tae Hyun)
(He's trying to remember the dance moves from 15 years ago.)
He used to have a fancy hairstyle.
(Defragmenting memory)
My body still remembers it.
(He's taking everyone back to the old days.)
(I should get ready to let you go)
(Back in 2001, every girl would sing along.)
(Although he has three children now, this song still sounds great.)
(For you)
(He's starting to dance.)
(The audience can't take their eyes off of him.)
(My love and pain)
(Here comes the climax.)
(Don't tell me to forget you)
(I love you)
(Wait)
(The dance should look like this.)
(Now, it just looks like he's struggling in water.)
(Still, he looks happy.)
(He's finishing off with swimming moves.)
He should be on "King of Mask Singer".
- He should. - He should.
- You're spoiling it. - No, I'm not.
He should try. Thank you for the song.
- It's his number one hit song. - Thank you.
Let's listen to the song Seong Woo chose.
("Past Days" by Yoo Jae Ha)
- "Past Days" by Yoo Jae Ha. - He picked an emotional song.
(Flustered)
Why did you choose this song?
It's not because I'm confident in singing this song.
I used to love this song, and it's an easy song to sing.
Seong Woo, I heard you met...
a very handsome and competent actor on an island.
(He's giving a knowing smile.)
Yes.
It was when I was shooting the movie, "No Tomorrow".
There was a dog that was living on the island.
I joined in the middle of the shooting process,
and all the staff members were talking about the dog.
- "He's such a great actor." - They mean the dog?
As an actor, I became jealous...
and asked them, "Who are you talking about?"
"There's this dog."
A dog came out of nowhere, and they decided to cast him.
- Does he live on the island? - Yes.
All the girls were talking about how handsome he is.
I went to see him, and it was true that he's a great actor.
(Everyone's curious about the dog.)
How did he act?
In the film, the journalist arrives on the island...
and tries to find the salt field.
The dog showed up in front of her.
Even though no one told him to, he occasionally looked back...
as if he was guiding her.
He led the way.
He was very handsome...
and had a very gloomy look.
He had this special aura.
There were a lot of dogs on that island.
Every family had a dog.
All of them kind of looked alike.
I said, "They look kind of the same."
As it turned out, that dog was the father of all the dogs.
They were all his children.
- It's because he's so attractive. - He has a complicated private life.
He must have gone through a lot with so many things to care about.
- You're right. - They were all his children.
He must have a sense of ownership.
Now that he has guests on the island,
he must have wanted to leave a good impression.
All the female dogs must have been...
- attracted to him. - They all fell for him.
- He's a great actor, too. - Yes, he is.
The winner takes it all.
I was jealous.
(Proud)
Let's listen to Seong Woo sing "Past Days".
Judging from his voice, he must be a great singer.
("Past Days" by Bae Seong Woo)
(The audience has high expectations of him.)
(He keeps the microphone close to his chin.)
(Way to go!)
(He has a sweet voice.)
(His wide jaw resembles that of a Moai statue...)
(which makes his voice deep.)
(As they say old memories are)
(Beautiful)
(The prolific actor is reminiscing his old days.)
(He's immersed in the song.)
(He reveals a new side of him in every movie.)
(We look forward to his upcoming works.)
(Impressed)
He's a great singer.
- He did a great job. - He has a deep voice.
- "King of Mask Singer"? - It's possible.
(He wants to be the one who guesses right.)
Great job.
You should be on "King of Mask Singer".
He's a great singer.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
- Thank you. - When I was in the army,
I listened to "One Day Long Ago" a lot.
That song was loved by soldiers.
That song was meant for soldiers.
- I wanted to distribute it. - The strategy worked.
- I didn't know how to go about it. - It worked.
I wanted to sell the album in PXs.
(He wanted to sell the album at PXs.)
It worked.
After listening to your stories,
just like todays' theme,
we all became your fans.
I hope you'll continue to be loved for your various charms.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please! - Please!
