It's always better when we're together, Happy Together!
- Hello. - Hello.
Hyeon Gyeong, if you had to choose between a powerful man,
a nice man, a humorous man, or a good-looking man,
- which one would you choose? - That's too obvious.
- If they are all at an extreme, - Yes, they are.
- I'd choose a good-looking man. - Wow.
- Many women... - Yes?
like Jae Seok, right?
Why do you think the reason is?
Is it because of all of his nice stories?
Why did you pick up trash after our shooting ended last week?
He threw it away to pick it up again.
(He threw it away to pick it up again.)
(Is he making up nice stories about himself?)
- I see. - You're obsessed about that.
No way.
I never threw away trash and picked it up again on purpose.
- My goodness. - Those stories are...
When did I ever do that?
It was because a cameraman was filming you.
Our cameramen are always filming us.
- Welcome. - They're here.
(Our guests today are good-looking men...)
(who captured Hyeon Gyeong's eyes.)
- It's Daniel. - Hello.
"Are you kidding me?"
- Welcome. - Hello.
- My goodness. - Hello, Chi Yeul.
Chi Yeul, I heard you became a star.
- Oh, my. - Please have a seat.
- They're here. - Chi Yeul's popular in China.
(Men of the Sun Special)
(Footage provided by Hunan TV)
(He is a rising Hallyu star.)
It's Hwang Chi Yeul whose fame skyrocketed in China.
(It's Hwang Chi Yeul whose fame skyrocketed in China.)
The first winner is Zhang Yuan.
- It's Zhang Yuan from China. - Zhang Yuan.
(Zhang Yuan from China)
Are you a doctor?
I do surgeries, repairs, and I sometimes deliver calves.
Cho Tae Kwan, who's from abroad.
(Cho Tae Kwan from abroad)
- The winner is Lee Se Jin. - Congratulations.
- Are you kidding me? - Wait a second.
I am Lee Byung Won who goes to a hospital.
Lee Se Jin, the funniest man on "Gag Concert".
("Are you kidding me?", Lee Se Jin)
- Let go. - What is happiness to you?
(He is in weekend dramas.)
Is it marrying a rich man?
Do Sang Woo, who's leaving for the army in a few days.
(Do Sang Woo from "My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol")
(They are here to capture hearts of women.)
- Isn't it worth a lot of money? - Come on.
Come on.
All right, fine.
The Song Song couple...
- Who? - Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo?
Yes.
Don't do that.
(They're here to share their yet unseen charms.)
What was that?
- Come on. - Oh, my.
Please for give me once.
(You can't avoid their charms.)
- That was good. - That was funny.
(We'll capture your heart with Men of the Sun Special.)
In our Happy House, we have a few amazing men...
who are much better than the characters of...
- "Descendants of the Sun". - Yes.
Sang Woo, are you really joining the army in three days?
- Yes, in three days. - Really?
- Is this the last shooting, then? - Yes, it is.
You won't be able to watch this.
I'll probably watch this at the boot camp.
Please give him a big hand.
Be safe...
- and return healthy. - Of course.
Hyeon Gyeong, what do you think?
- She's excited. - No.
I will do my best.
- What are you saying? - No one said anything.
- My goodness. - "No."
This isn't a blind date.
It looks like you have two dried fish in your hair.
(She tried to look pretty with dried fish.)
- Her socks are bright red, too. - They are.
- "Her socks are bright red, too." - Exactly.
"Her socks are bright red, too."
(Very good.)
(The man of China expresses himself in Chinese.)
(They're red.)
- He can speak Chinese. - He's improved!
Today's guests are...
- the hottest men. - Of course.
Of course, Song Joong Ki is the hottest man right now,
but please tell us of your charms that'll make you hotter than...
Song Joong Ki. Starting with Chi Yeul.
- I'm too embarrassed to say that. - It's all right.
- Everyone else will do it, too. - Okay.
I think I have a better body than him.
- Wow. - That's true.
- Is that true? - To add to that,
I think I dance better.
- Wow. - He's a dancer.
I'm a singer, so people say that I have a great voice.
- He has a great voice. - Of course.
- He has a great voice. - He's better than Joong Ki.
- I think I have a better voice. - That's great.
What about Yuan? What makes you better than Joong Ki?
Gosh, this is difficult.
- You speak better Chinese. - First of all,
Joong Ki is very popular in China.
I think I'll get criticised if I make a mistake here.
- You can't go back to China. - I won't be able to go back.
I think I speak...
better Chinese than Joong Ki.
- Wow. - That's a good one.
Everyone is being careful with their words.
They can get criticised for saying something rash.
They wouldn't criticise Yuan for speaking better Chinese.
Joong Ki is practically...
everyone's imaginary husband in China.
- Really? - Oh, my.
Even people who have a boyfriend says,
- "My husband is Joong Ki." - Do people say that?
- Yes, they do. - Is that how popular he is?
In China, calling a man as my husband is like saying...
- he's the best man. - Yes, people say he's the best.
- That means they love him a lot. - Yes.
There are a few married couples who fight over Joong Ki.
The divorce rate went up.
- Really? - People love him too much.
- The state government said this. - What?
"This drama is very dangerous."
"It is dangerous for married couples."
The state government warned people against watching this.
- Against Joong Ki? - It's like a warning.
It did happen.
- He filmed with Joong Ki, right? - I like his eyes.
What makes you better than Joong Ki?
I was going to say that, too.
- I thought of saying languages. - I see.
I may be bad at Korean, but I speak...
- better English, and... - I see.
- I can do various English accents. - Accents?
- English accents? - Is there such a thing?
- Of course. - Can you do that?
That sounds amazing.
- Can you show us now? - We'll do that later.
I see.
(Aunt Myung Soo asked too early.)
We'll have time for Chinese, too.
- Really? - He will do that later.
Why did you bring your script?
(Why did you bring your script?)
- My goodness. - You should fix his microphone.
- Oh, yes. - He looks a little too sad.
(He looks a little too sad.)
You are being...
- You... - He's the man of China.
You've changed a lot after you went to China.
You have no manners. I didn't pick up your call.
(I didn't pick up your call!)
- So, pick up my calls. - Have you called him?
I called him a while ago. After I was on Happy Together,
he said, "You're good. Why don't you leave your number?"
(Why don't you leave your number?)
- My goodness. - Myung Soo.
I could see it.
I could see that he'll make it.
He will definitely make it. Next is Sang Woo.
(What about Sang Woo?)
That's a very difficult question to answer for me, too.
I don't want to be criticised in the army.
I'm a little tall, I guess.
Are you saying Joong Ki is small?
(Did he just belittle Joong Ki's height?)
Which camera do I need to look at?
- Are you saying he's this small? - No.
I love you, Joong Ki.
- You'll have a difficult time. - Wow, Sang Woo.
Sang Woo just started a fight.
- Yes, he did. - Wow, Sang Woo.
Chi Yeul was actually here...
- in January. - Yes.
- You began as a vocal coach. - It took me just one song.
I will be on a Chinese variety show.
I see.
(It's been three months.)
(Hwang Chi Yeul makes a huge breakthrough in China.)
(He became the hottest man in China.)
Within just three months,
he became amazingly popular in China.
He had to cancel...
two events in China...
- to be here. - Isn't it worth a lot of money?
- Wow. - Come on.
Come on.
Okay.
(Be quite!)
I won't say that.
He's amazing.
- Could you tell us about it? - Please.
Are you one of the finalists on the Chinese "I Am a Singer"?
The final episode is finished, and we have one encore stage left.
The final episode is filmed after a few preliminary rounds, right?
Yes, new challengers come and others are picked off.
We start with seven singers,
- and we lose one every week. - Did you surpass six people?
(Did you surpass six people?)
I wouldn't say I surpassed them.
- I'd say that I survived. - You passed them by.
- I'd better say that I survived. - You survived.
Chi Yeul's episode...
had the highest viewer rating in China.
- Really? - Isn't it hard to get one percent?
Yes, the ratings are above one percent right now.
But that means about...
over 50 million people are watching...
- at the same time. - China is huge,
and it has a lot of people.
There are a lot of channels, too.
- Yes. - There are a lot of them.
That's pretty much all of Korea,
- if it's 50 million people. - That's South Korea's population.
And he's the first foreign singer to become a finalist.
- Right? - Yes, I am.
You surpassed Chinese singers.
I wouldn't say I surpassed them.
He surpassed them.
You surpassed them.
I heard the Chinese singers on that show are...
- also very amazing. - Of course.
They are amazing.
The most popular singer on the show is...
someone named Coco Lee.
- Coco Lee? - Coco Lee.
Yes, she's popular.
She sang a song in "Mulan".
- You're right. - She's a world-renowned singer.
I wouldn't say I surpassed her.
- We have... - She's survived.
survived the show together until now.
- Is she another finalist? - Yes, we survived together...
and we both...
ended up winning together.
We both became the first place.
That's amazing.
Who are the other singers...
that Chi Yeul surpassed?
The singers left are...
Coco Lee, Xu Jia Ying...
and Hacken Lee.
They must be famous, but they are a little unfamiliar to us.
- How famous are they? - They are as famous as...
Lee Seung Chul...
and Kim Bum Soo.
And the female singer is like IU...
- in Korea. - Wow.
These are popular singers.
Isn't it nervous to sing with such huge Chinese stars?
At first, I went...
without realising that.
The first time I went on stage,
I thought, "I don't know them."
I didn't know how famous they were.
- You had nothing to lose. - Yes.
I was starting from the scratch with nothing in my hands.
So, I just sang without a burden.
- And people liked you. - Yes, they did.
I think I was less nervous in the beginning.
How did you get to go on the show?
The producer of the show...
named Hong Tao,
saw a video of me singing...
and came to Korea to see me.
- What was the video? - "Immortal Songs".
- I see. - Did he see that?
He saw a video of me on "Immortal Songs".
He was touched after seeing you sing...
- the song "Father", - You're right.
- wasn't he? - It's originally In Sooni's song.
(His father was always supportive of his unknown singer son.)
(This song which he sang for his father...)
(became the seeds of his success in China.)
He said he was touched deeply after seeing that video,
- Really? - and he wanted to meet me.
I doubt he knew the lyrics.
- Did he just listen to the melody? - Yes, he did.
You have started from nothing and made your way up.
It must have felt different each week.
- Yes. - How was it...
- at first? - You can think of it like this.
You have to learn to sing a Chinese song each week...
to compete against Chinese singers in China.
- In Chinese? - That's right.
How did you do that?
It's very difficult. He was in a disadvantageous position.
Other singers can prepare 3 to 4 songs.
They can decide to sing a different song on the spot.
But he can't change his song...
because he can only practise one song each week.
It's probably difficult.
Zhang Yuan is his manager in China.
- Really? - Oh, I see.
He's Chi Yeul's manager.
- Is he on the show, too? - I heard you have many followers.
How many followers do you have?
I have five million of them.
(He got 5 million followers in 3 months.)
Isn't that as much as Lee Kwang Soo?
- That sounds about right. - Right?
I'm too embarrassed to say that.
- That's amazing. - Chi Yeul was the fastest...
- to obtain that many followers. - That's right.
Yes, he got all his followers within three months.
That's amazing.
Kim Jong Kook has 2.5 million followers.
Yes, that's right.
That's a lot of people, though.
Chi Yeul is amazing.
I have 1,875 followers.
- Sorry? - I have 1,875 followers.
Are they your Chinese followers?
And one of them sent me a message saying,
"We don't like you."
My goodness.
(He has 1,875 followers including haters.)
They barely ever speak in English.
My goodness.
- Seriously? - "Please don't come to China."
My goodness.
Did you expect this popularity?
When I made...
the Chinese social media account,
Yuan asked me how many followers I was expecting.
I said, "About 1,000."
He said, "You can do more." So I said, "Then, 10,000."
- Wow. - But he said,
"Let's aim for one million followers."
I was a foreigner there,
- and no one there knew me. - Exactly.
I didn't think this would happen,
and not many foreign singers have made it big in China.
I heard it's very unusual.
That's amazing.
There are a lot of good singers in Korea.
But was Chi Yeul picked...
because he's someone who Chinese people would like?
- Does he have a Chinese style? - Doesn't he?
I think that's a part of the reason.
Really?
Yuan, is he a type Chinese people would like?
Yes, he is. First, he is very good looking.
Chinese people like guys...
- who look like him. - It's my make-up.
He has huge eyes and a huge nose.
Also, he has a great body.
There aren't a lot of Chinese singers...
- who has a body like his. - Really?
And there aren't a lot of singers who can dance.
- Really? - That's why.
I think there were many aspects to this.
When the producer asked me to join the show,
he thought I could do a variety of stages...
because I could sing...
sad songs and I could also dance, too.
I think that's why he chose me.
I saw a lot of Chinese fans waiting for you.
- Yes, I saw them, too. - I was shocked.
I saw him warming up in Chinese.
- Really? - Yes.
Are you more comfortable with using Chinese?
It's not like that. I just got used...
- to shooting shows there. - How did you do it?
(Hello, I am Hwang Chi Yeul, a singer.)
(One, two, three, four)
How did you do it in Korea?
Hello?
Nice to meet you. I'm Hwang Chi Yeul.
What about now?
(Hello, I am Hwang Chi Yeul, a singer.)
(Embarrassed)
I heard your finger hearts are popular.
- What is this? - I used to do this often.
When I finished a stage,
the audiences were amazingly excited...
even when they didn't know who I was.
I was so thankful...
that I wanted to give them something.
But I had nothing in my pocket,
so I gave them my heart.
I did this, and it became my thing.
- So... - Did it get popular?
When I come on stage...
for the show "I Am a Singer", people do this.
- You're like an idol singer. - They didn't know about this.
- They didn't know this was a heart? - Right.
No, they didn't.
There is something similar, though.
It goes like this.
- Isn't this money? - This is asking for money.
At first, some Chinese people were mistaken with this gesture.
They thought he was asking for money.
I mean, I did sing.
He did this.
He's asking for money.
You did sing for them.
- Yes. - It's like saying, "Pay me."
- It can be misleading. - My goodness.
I saw the video and I was very proud.
- Exactly. - Thank you.
- You were amazing. - Yuan was recently...
on a show called "Best Man".
He was voted as the best man after surpassing Eric Nam.
He's amazing.
Right?
Yuan is a sweet guy, but he's very conservative.
Yes, he seems so.
He wants his future bride...
to wash the feet of his parents.
- Really? - He wants his wife to do that.
Is that necessary?
I would say it's more like a test.
I think that's a better way to put it.
Washing your mother's feet?
How can you ask her to wash them?
And someone said this.
"Yuan, you can wash your mother's feet yourself."
I've read something like that.
Can you wash your mother-in-law's feet?
I can do that.
- Of course. - He can do the same thing.
I won't ask her to do it, I'll just ask her if she can.
Have you dated someone since you came to Korea?
It's been five years since I came to Korea,
and I haven't dated for four years.
Didn't you flirt with a few, though?
I'd love to date...
but I don't have time.
- Come on. - It's true.
When I used to work at the academies...
Mr Zhang.
Mr Zhang?
- How can you say that? - You're Mr Cho.
He's Mr Zhang.
- That's why... - I don't like you.
"I don't like you."
(He got another hater.)
He never speaks English.
- Exactly. - He said, "I don't like you."
"I don't like you."
We have the actor from "Descendants of the Sun".
It's Cho Tae Kwan, also known as Daniel.
(Cho Tae Kwan is on "Descendants of the Sun"!)
- He's handsome. - Wow.
Is there anyone here? My gosh, you shocked me.
Are you Dr Kang? I got a call from Si Jin.
This guy is bleeding much and he has a skull fracture.
I can't use the operation room without Dr Kang's orders.
Doesn't he look handsome and manly?
- He looks very manly. - Thank you.
- Well, he is... - You look very manly, too.
I am just a man.
- I guess it's just your hair, then. - Do you want to see?
No thank you.
- That's weird. - What are you talking about?
He's a weird man.
He's a Korean from abroad, and I guess that's why...
he's sitting as if he's on a foreign talk show.
He's sitting like this.
- I love it. - He's trying to act natural.
I think this is comfortable.
It's as if you are on "Oprah".
Yes, that's good.
Did the team of "Descendants of the Sun" have a party yesterday?
Yes, we had a gathering.
The Song Song couple...
Wait, who?
- Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo? - Yes.
- They paid for all of us. - I see.
Did you guys gather after the shooting was over?
Yes, so it was a bit awkward.
- Why? - It wasn't like we could...
talk about the scenes we filmed yesterday.
- It's been a while. - We awkwardly greeted each other.
We didn't know where to sit.
It was difficult. We barely got acquainted...
and we were parted before we became friends.
And I got to see those scenes on TV in my room.
We were reminded of our old memories.
It probably felt like a surprise gift.
Of course.
Tell us about the gathering.
Does Joong Ki drink a lot?
No, he is very self-disciplined, and he is determined...
to not make a mistake.
That's what I thought.
"I'm Yoo Si Jin."
- That's how he is? - "I'm Yoo Si Jin."
- This is how he is. - Is Song Joong Ki as humorous as...
- he is in the drama? - You need to sit back.
- I'm so curious. - What's wrong with your neck?
I was really surprised.
- I thought she was a mannequin. - She was calm until now.
She became very passionate since we started talking about Song Joong Ki.
- My goodness. - I'm really curious.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I can't believe her.
The cameraman can only film the back of your head.
- She has a really long waist. - She must like him a lot.
I wouldn't say he's a humorous guy.
- He's rather manly. - Oh, he's manly.
- In fact... - He's actually very manly.
He is indeed.
Is Song Joong Ki older than you?
Actually, I am several months older than Joong Ki.
It gets a bit awkward at times.
I'd tell him to speak casually to me,
but he says he'd better speak politely.
- I see. - Then, we'd talk...
about something else,
and I suggest that he and I should speak more casually.
He responds that he'd better not.
- That's how he reacts. - You must tell him to respect you.
- "I've already told you." - What are you talking about?
- "Why are you being so difficult?" - It'll continue forever that way.
You need to shake his hands firmly so he'd get the idea.
You should've done the same thing with Ho Dong.
- And with Gu Ra, too. - I've told you several times.
I saw him intimidating the hoodlums.
(Myung Soo is scared of Ho Dong.)
I saw him threatening five hoodlums.
They were causing a problem, so Ho Dong told us to step outside.
He told the crew members to step outside and took care of the rest.
Then the five hoodlums have completely changed their attitude.
They were eating silently as if they were in the army.
I saw it with my own eyes.
- You have to trust me. - Are you kidding me?
- You've got to be kidding. - How can we believe that?
- I'm curious about something. - What is it?
I know Joong Ki is very popular but...
You're curious about...
- how pretty Song Hye Kyo is, right? - Exactly. How did you read my mind?
I've never seen Song Hye Kyo before. Is she really pretty?
- She's really beautiful... - I see.
- and mysterious. - Why is that?
- She's really popular in China. - That's right.
She looks like a beauty in China, but...
- she's a typical beauty in Korea. - She is.
She is very exotic.
She's mysterious.
Aren't Joong Ki and Hye Kyo really close?
- They seem close. - That's what I thought.
They're close like siblings, though.
Could you feel something between them?
I didn't notice such a thing.
But that could be acting, too.
- Wow. - I didn't notice it.
They made fun of each other like siblings.
Joong Ki told her, "Stop doing that."
How did they make fun of each other?
They just made fun of each other. I can't exactly remember.
- Hye Kyo made fun of him? - Yes.
- That's not it. - Joong Ki probably did.
Excuse me but I have to say...
Tae Kwan is on the show, but we keep talking about Song Joong Ki...
and Song Hye Kyo.
I wonder how they hang out when the team goes for a dinner.
"Descendants of the Sun" airs before Happy Together.
"Descendants of the Sun",
- thank you. - Thank you.
- We should've thanked earlier. - Our viewing rate is higher...
because of the drama.
I hope the drama will be extended.
We're literally the descendants of the sun. We're on air afterwards.
- It's all thanks to you. - Thank you.
Great. Tae Kwan, you auditioned for "Superstar K", right?
(He was on "Superstar K".)
- Yes. - His father is Cho Ha Moon.
- Really? - He's Tae Kwan's father?
I'm Jasper. I'm 29 years old.
(He was the talk of the town because of his looks and attractive voice.)
- He's the son of Cho Ha Moon. - I'm a big fan of him.
(Cho Ha Moon won the second prize at College Music Festival.)
- I wish tonight will never end - I wish tonight will never end
- I wish you could stay - I wish you could stay
(Myung Soo is lost in old memories. He sounds very excited.)
- And his uncle is... - His uncle is...
- Choi Soo Jong. - That's right.
Choi Soo Jong's older sister is...
Tae Kwan's mother.
You didn't get to see your father's performance, right?
I didn't.
- He's a pastor now, right? - Yes, he is.
Wasn't your father against you when you auditioned to be a singer?
He was. It's tough to succeed as a singer.
He didn't think that I was talented in singing.
What did he tell you? Did he say directly that you weren't talented?
"You're not good at singing."
- That's what he said before. - I see.
I think all fathers are like that. My dad told me the same thing.
"Your voice is husky, and I don't even get what you're saying."
"Stop talking rubbish."
You're really big in China right now.
He likes that I'm a singer now.
"Keep it up, Chi Yeul!"
How did you get the role for "Descendants of the Sun"?
- I was really baffled. - Okay.
I got a message through SNS.
It was from the director and assistant director.
- I was suspicious. - SNS?
- It's not common. - They sent a message through SNS.
I was suspicious, but I called anyway.
It really was from the assistant director. We spoke on the phone,
then we met up in person and decided to work together.
But we didn't communicate for a while.
- You must have considered for long. - Yes.
- If you lose contact... - It means you didn't get the role.
There were other candidates.
But the script writer and the director told me...
that I'm like a blank page.
They said, "We can imagine how this actor will depict Daniel,"
"and how the other actor will depict Daniel."
"However, we have no idea how you will act Daniel."
"That's why we're looking forward to casting you as Daniel."
- They were curious. - It's awesome.
How about you, Se Jin?
- Since I perform on "Gag Concert", - Yes.
- my fans are mostly young. - Is that right?
Recently, I went to see my grandmother.
The young children who live nearby came to see me.
- They came? - They came to hang out with me.
I was having a meal, then the kids came near me one after another.
They were imitating me while smacking my neck.
I was having a meal.
- They smacked you? - Oh, dear.
- "Are you kidding me?" - "Are you kidding me?"
"Are you kidding me?"
This question is way too ambiguous.
(Se Jin is a rising star in "Gag Concert".)
- Vague? - Ambiguous.
- Vague? - Are you kidding me?
Stop it!
Many people watch "Gag Concert" because of Se Jin.
- He's so funny. - He's so funny.
Could you do your skit here?
- Show us a few skits that you do. - Yes.
- Okay. - I personally like...
- Goodness. - He brought his gloves.
I brought a glove.
Please introduce yourself, Byung Won.
Nice to meet you. I go to hospitals lately. My name is Lee Byung Won.
Thanks for inviting me to the show,
Together Happy.
What do you mean, Together Happy?
- It's Happy Together. - It's Happy Together.
Are you kidding me?
Here's the first question for you.
It's a very famous place for electronics in Guro-gu.
I'll give you a clue. It's Guro Digital Complex.
Oh, I've been there before.
- What's your answer? - My answer is...
It's Digi Gurotal Complex.
It's close. Make another guess.
Is it Guro Leg Hair Complex?
Leg Hair Complex. That is not correct.
Your face is so messed up. I just realised upon seeing you this close.
Are you kidding me?
That was great.
- "Are you kidding me?" - I liked it.
- He's so funny. - Well...
Chi Yeul hasn't laughed this much for a long time.
- You are enjoying Korean comedy. - He's so funny.
Do people tell you that you resemble Lee Byung Hun?
They say my jaw and smile resemble.
Show me your smile.
- They resemble each other. - I can see why.
Did you come up with the parody for "Inside Men"...
because you look like Lee Byung Hun?
When people told me that I resemble Lee Byung Hun at first,
I told them that I'll gain haters if they keep saying that.
I told people to stop saying that, but they continued.
An So Mi told me that...
I resemble Lee Byung Hun.
She suggested that I should make a skit as a parody for "Inside Men".
So I thought that...
maybe I should really consider her idea.
"Shall we go to mojito for a glass of Maldives?"
Shall we go to mojito for a glass of Maldives?
That sounds great.
Shall we eat Guryongpo at half-dried herring?
It was funny when I switched the order of the sentence.
- I see. - You switched the order.
Let's go have Ulleungdo at Korean taffy.
- That's one of the examples. - I see.
"Let's go have Ulleungdo at Korean taffy."
Gorgonzola pizza is another example.
I'd say, "Zolagorgon pizza".
(It sounds natural though.)
I thought it was really funny.
After thinking alone, I asked the producer if it was funny.
- She said it was funny. - I see.
You resemble other people as well,
- Se Jin. - That's true.
Frankly speaking, I think...
I resemble Kim Bum Soo the most.
- That's so true. - They look alike.
- Hand him your glasses. - I'll try them on.
I didn't agree so much that he resembles Lee Byung Hun.
But I agree with this one.
I'm Kim Bum Soo.
(Doppelgangers)
(They look just like each other.)
They're like twins.
Get all right
They're like twins.
- They're like twins. - Exactly.
- He looks just like Bum Soo. - Yes.
(Are they both talented in singing?)
Are you kidding me?
He's a comedian indeed.
- They really look alike. - I've been smacked too many times.
I have similar eyes with his.
You did a segment in "Gag Concert"...
where you rapped while using props.
That's right.
I thought you knew me very well, I'm surprised that you didn't
This reminds me of you
Don't leave, please don't leave me
- Could you show us a few here? - I really liked that segment.
He's really good at rapping.
I'll show you the first skit I did.
I own a small shop...
- in a fish market. - He's promoting.
I promote my shop instead of rapping.
My shop is called Se Jin Fishery, everything is so delicious here
Hey, you shouldn't promote here.
Okay. I'll be serious now.
Give me some beats.
(This is a love story About how I first met her.)
I first saw her when I was a student
It was when I was in Mackerel school
I can't wait to
See the blowfish
Blowfish? I miss her
I considered whether I should
Go get a hairtail
I didn't know what to do
Is she cheating on me?
What on sea squirt are you talking about?
I can't believe this
Your nonsense is like a spoon worm
- Wow. - He's amazing.
Bang, bang, bang!
I also wanted to show some freestyle rap.
I asked the audiences to give me any random words.
- Then I improvised. - You ad-libbed?
- We'll say anything. - Can you rap for us?
- Of course. - I'll go first.
Use the name, Uhm Hyeon Gyeong in your rap, then.
- Uhm Hyeon Gyeong. - She's in front of you.
- All right. - He seems baffled.
It's a free style rap. You have to include her name.
- Lee Byung Won. - All right.
Give him some beats.
(Se Jin will show his freestyle rap using the name, Uhm Hyeon Gyeong.)
- I can't wait. - Hey.
- There he goes. - Uhm Hyeon Gyeong, here we go.
(He takes the microphone from Hyeon Gyeong.)
Come on.
Listen up, everybody!
Uhm Hyeon Gyeong.
Okay, 1, 2, 3, 4!
Uhm Hyeon Gyeong
It sounds like a name of a Chinese restaurant
I'm very nervous but I'll keep rapping
Hyun Moo, you're nothing
You're nothing more than a folding screen
- I'm sorry. - Thank you for not choosing me.
(Thank you for picking Hyun Moo.)
- Thank you. - No problem.
- Oh, dear. - Give him an applause.
- He's really good. - He's really good.
Freestyle rap is really difficult.
- I didn't see it coming. - Hyeon Gyeong can rap, too.
- You can rap, too? - Show us.
- I can rap? - Just say that you can.
- Hyeon Gyeong, show us your rap. - We'll play the music.
- I need a topic. - Any topic is fine.
- Pick anything you want. - How about Cho Sae Ho?
- You can rap using his name. - Sae Ho.
- Will she rap right away? - Stand up, please.
I'll acknowledge her as an entertainer if she can rap.
(She swaggers.)
She's already funny.
Cho Sae Ho
Ho, ho
- Ho! - Ho!
(Although she looks like she's about to cry, she's a talented rapper.)
(Hyeon Gyeong is a brilliant entertainer.)
- The rhymes were excellent. - I like the way she finished.
- Yuan, rap for us in Chinese. - In Chinese.
(Zhang Yuan will rap in Chinese.)
- Great! - He'll do great.
He should recite a Chinese poem.
- A Chinese poem? - He's amazing.
- You can recite a Chinese poem? - He's an excellent reciter.
I love Chinese movies. Including Cantonese movies, I've seen lots.
- Martial arts movies. - The actors sound really cool.
(Jae Seok pretends that he speaks Chinese.)
- They're so fascinating. - Goodness.
- That's how they sound. - All right.
- They do sound like that. - I was so fascinated.
(Is it something like this?)
(The actor sounds very serious.)
- Chinese poem? - I love Chinese poems.
(Zhang Yuan will recite a Chinese poem.)
(He recites with an imposing manner.)
He's so cool.
(He's so majestic.)
(His voice is rich and strong.)
(He sounds extremely sad.)
(He's elucidating how precious the crops are.)
(Jae Seok is totally moved.)
- I'll wrap it up here. - Wow, he's so cool.
I don't understand Chinese, but as I mentioned earlier,
I loved the scenes like this. I was so touched.
There's music in the background.
- What did you say earlier? - I'm not sure.
I don't know Chinese, but I used to imitate it often.
(Jae Seok sounds fluent, though he doesn't know a word in Chinese.)
(He sounds more fluent than Zhang Yuan.)
- It sounded like that. - It really sounds like Chinese.
- He really recited a Chinese poem. - Yes.
- He sounds really cool. - He does.
We mentioned earlier,
- but in three days, - Oh, dear.
he's really becoming a soldier like the "Descendants of the Sun".
He's Do Sang Woo.
(Do Sang Woo is joining the army in three days.)
Good luck!
What's your concept today?
- My concept? - I thought you were Sechskies.
- I love wide pants. - Sechskies?
I saw him in the waiting room for the first time.
I thought he had already joined the army.
I thought he was wearing a Navy uniform.
(A Navy uniform?)
I thought he was on holiday.
He looks like a member of Sechskies.
I carefully picked my costume.
Sang Woo, "My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol" was your first drama...
- to play a leading role? - Yes, it was.
- Wow. - That drama was so popular.
I am a prosecutor...
from Seoul District Public Prosecutors' Office.
My name is Joo Se Hoon.
(He captured middle-aged women's hearts.)
- You made a cameo appearance there. - I did.
I heard that your acting was horrible.
He was an artist, a star and a secretary.
- I played three different roles. - Three roles.
Oh, no!
I'm sorry. It's my first day working as the chief secretary.
How dare you!
(He was an artist.)
He's going to be the next Picasso.
Could you explain to me about this painting?
Heather! Heather!
I need to take my glasses off.
- I look better this way. - You're so cool.
(He was a cheesy popular celebrity.)
- Did it help that he appeared? - It did help.
- I see. - With his appearance,
- the vibe was cheerful in the set. - Really?
Yes. There were so many fans of Jae Seok there.
My mum really liked him. I'm talking about Jeon In Hwa.
- I see. - She really liked him.
Since I made the cameo appearance, she and I became best friends.
- Best friends? - Best friends.
Sure, the vibe was cheerful. But what did she think of his acting?
- What? - Jae Seok's acting.
She didn't mention anything about his acting.
- I was really surprised then. - Why?
The director told me to act however I wanted to.
How was the feedback after the drama aired?
- What did people say? - The comments must have been nice.
Fortunately, many people liked my acting.
- Wow. - It was a really popular drama.
- I had to keep the flow going. - That's right.
I had to act well enough.
That's what I was really concerned about.
- Thankfully, many liked me. - Your appearance was entertaining.
Since then, I've become confident with my acting.
(He became confident in acting.)
I'm in big trouble.
You should try acting in "Descendants of the Sun".
(Why don't you try acting in "Descendants of the Sun"?)
So after finishing the drama where you played the leading role,
you're joining the army.
- Yes, I am. - I wonder how he feels.
- It must be strange. - That's right.
It does feel strange,
but I'm excited to see how things will be after I get discharged.
Joining the army will be a learning experience for my acting career.
I'm curious how my acting will be after I get discharged.
For those of you who have already served in the army,
- why don't you give advice? - Yes.
All I can tell you is...
that it shall pass.
- That's how I got through it. - I agree.
- I'm serious. - Be more realistic.
You have to offer him practical advice.
Time passes by so slowly there.
(Time passes by so slowly when you're in the army.)
- Be nice to him. - That's harsh.
- I'm being serious. - I agree with him.
I never realised that a day could be so long.
A day felt as long as three days to me.
Each one of you should offer him advice.
- He'll join the army in three days. - Se Jin.
First of all,
you need to please the seniors.
I suggest that you prepare things that can show your talents.
They really help to brighten the mood.
Well... For sergeants...
and corporals who have been...
in the army for a while,
you need to be ready as soon as they tell you to perform.
- You need to perform right away. - Like how Myung Soo asks Sae Ho?
- Yes. - Sing like Whee Sung. Cue!
(Sae Ho sings like Whee Sung right away.)
- I need to sing immediately. - Act like Choi Jong Won. Cue!
(He impersonates Choi Jong Won.)
- You need to do it right away. - Right.
- Why don't you teach him a few? - Sure.
- I have a few easy ones. - Teach him a few skills.
"Are you kidding me?" I'm sorry.
(Are you kidding me?)
You can't do that to your senior officer.
Can't I do this to the senior officers?
- You shouldn't do that. - You should never do that.
You'll be in big trouble.
I don't think it's a good idea.
- You should never do that. - When I was in the army,
- I used to perform this. - What did you do?
I acted as if I was in a shooting scene.
- It sounds funny. - I like it.
- As I heard the cue, I performed. - Okay then. Cue!
I need a wall.
- I'll go over there and perform. - Okay.
- Show us quickly. - He needs a wall.
Se Jin's senior officer...
- liked this performance. - Should I get out of your way?
It's a scene from a movie based on a true story.
- Okay. - Show us.
Cue!
(His eyes are wide open.)
(A standing ovation)
(Both Yuan and Hyun Moo loved Se Jin's performance.)
- That was awesome! - Cue!
(He performs again.)
- Great! - He's really funny.
Sang Woo is hilarious.
- You need a wall for this. - It was awesome.
- I like it. - I like his spirit.
- You should try it too. - You need to lean on the wall.
Cue!
(Cue!)
(Gosh)
- Hold on. - He's too tall.
- He's too tall.
You need to lose focus on your eyes.
- Daniel, you should try it, too. - Your eyes need to lose focus.
- Daniel. - It hurts.
- He's too tall. - Daniel is an American soldier.
- An American soldier. - Let's see how he does.
All right.
Cue!
(His eyes goggle.)
He looks scary with his eyes open.
(His acting was great.)
Is there a way to sit down without hurting your hips?
- Yuan. - Yuan.
- You should try it, too. - Let's go, Yuan!
- You're the Chinese soldier. - Yuan will perform.
- Get ready. - A Chinese soldier.
(Cue!)
Oh, dear.
(What?)
(He looks awkward.)
(What an amazing performance!)
- That was horrible. - Gosh.
- But it was funny. - That was horrible.
- Hyeon Gyeong, give it a try. - It looks hard.
- Really? - Hyeon Gyeong will do great.
We need to protect her so she won't be shot.
Are you ready, Hyeon Gyeong?
All right.
(She dies instantly.)
(She dies in such a cute manner.)
(Worst acting collaboration of Korea and China)
Your turn, Sae Ho.
- Me? - Do it, Sae Ho.
- I'm not sure if I can do well. - It's a...
- new comedy act. - It's funny.
It's too...
It's so funny.
You look funny already.
Do it seriously.
- Be serious. - Try shooting an arrow.
- It's an arrow. - Look elsewhere.
(Here it comes.)
(He fell with all his weight.)
- That must hurt! - It hurts!
(It hurts.)
Oh, my goodness.
It hurts!
- You should be more careful. - Gosh.
(My poor bottom.)
Are you okay?
- It's okay. - He landed too hard.
This is...
Se Jin is better.
It's a skill not to fall hard.
Wow, that hurt.
- It's a side effect. - Wow, so cool.
- He looks cool. - He's like a Chinese movie star.
Hwang Chi Yeul.
(The villain always appears.)
Ready? Action!
(Cue!)
It's stuck!
(It's stuck!)
The arrow is stuck.
(Hanging)
It went through?
(The arrow went straight through.)
He's very good.
- He's good. - Yes.
(He's funny.)
- It's so realistic. - He was doing mime.
- Hyun Moo. - Hyun Moo.
- It's Hyun Moo's turn. - I can't.
You pretend to get shot in the head.
A head shot.
- How about a grenade? - He'll be shot in the head.
- Go, Hyun Moo. - In the head.
- Ready? - Sniper!
Cue!
Bang, bang, bang!
(Ragged)
Bang, bang!
- Bang, bang! - Good job.
(A US army throws a grenade.)
He did it.
(Nice shot, Dr Cho.)
Good job.
- You did well, Hyun Moo. - It's hard...
to fall without hurting your bottom.
- But... - It hurts.
- It was good. - Se Jin did really well.
It wasn't easy.
You debuted as a model, Sang Woo?
Yes, I did.
Who started along with you?
There's model Kim Won Joong.
Ju Hyuk is also doing well right now.
- Nam Ju Hyuk? - Yes.
- He's a colleague of yours? - Ahn Jae Hyeon also...
worked as a model.
Some of the models became actors and they're the same age as you.
- Yes. - Lee Jong Suk.
- Yes. - Kim Woo Bin.
- Yes. - Kim Young Kwang.
Yes, Kim Young Kwang.
You must be competitors.
They actually help me a lot.
- Really? - It was easier to get into acting.
Before, when models wanted to act,
it was assumed they couldn't.
But everyone's really great.
- Yes, they are. - I heard that you...
worked at one of Hong Seok Cheon's restaurants...
- for quite a while. - Oh, really?
Yes, for around three and a half years.
Where?
- He worked there, too. - It was a Thai restaurant.
- I used to work there. - At Seok Cheon's restaurant?
- Is that right? - It's a star's gateway to success.
Did Seok Cheon ask you?
Yes, he did.
How did that happen?
I was working at a cafe in Hongdae.
He asked if I wanted to act.
Why did he make you a waiter then?
(Don't get involved in my business.)
(Handsome men of the sun)
You were in "It's Okay, That's Love"...
as Gong Hyo Jin's boyfriend.
Why did you nearly quit in the middle?
- Why? - At the time,
I quit modelling and it was my first time acting.
It was my first role...
and I was really nervous.
My modelling habits appeared.
- Like what? - I did a model walk.
(Model walk instead of acting)
I wasn't supposed to look at the camera.
But models have a habit of looking at the camera.
Show us.
(Let's see how a model acts.)
For example,
show us...
how you'd enter naturally.
He's acting, right?
- Hi, Hyeon Gyeong. - Hi, over here.
- Were you here? - Yes.
- Like that. - I shouldn't do it like that.
- That was awkward. - You do it like that now...
- but how did you do it then? - At the time...
- It looked natural. - Here we go.
- At the time... - Like this.
(Walking like a model)
(Model version)
(Turning)
(A 90-degree turn like a model)
(He's still more of a model than an actor.)
That was funny.
He came in...
with his hand in his pocket.
(Jae Seok's acting like a model.)
Hi.
(Can he be a model?)
You can do that in the army.
You can do that and the gunfire acting.
You can't look at the camera.
Yes, I'm trying to act more naturally.
But at the time?
At the time...
Do a line for us.
I'd go, "Did you eat?"
- Yes, I did. - If there's a camera over there,
I'd look at the camera instead of looking at her.
- "Okay." - He keeps looking.
"Oh, really?"
(Glancing over is a model's habit.)
I did things like that.
I get it.
- I get it. - Right?
He's not used to it.
- I get it. - I felt like I was being checked.
He had to look into the eyes and say, "I love you."
But he went, "I love you."
(Declaration of love while looking at the camera)
- Like that. - Yes.
It's the old style.
- That's what I did. - Yes.
There's a lot for you to do in the military.
Se Jin, I heard things improved for you after leaving the military.
As soon as I was discharged,
I became a KBS comedian. I passed at one go.
- I see. - Yes.
- When I was discharged... - But...
- Is that right? - What?
You did well after you got discharged.
Did your girlfriend leave you?
I was dumped as soon as I joined.
(It's hitting home.)
Wow, that's the toughest time.
How did she break up with you?
She cheated on me.
- What? - How did you find out?
She called and said she wanted to break up.
I joined the military when I was 25 years old.
We'd been going out for five years.
I guess it was hard for her to be alone.
In trying to fill my empty place...
I heard you weighed quite a bit at the time.
Yes, around 107kg.
- Wow. - 107kg?
How much weight have you lost?
Is this you?
- Who is that? - I thought it was Che Guevara.
Oh, my goodness.
I thought it was Park Hwi Soon.
At that time,
he used to imitate Ji Sang Ryeol.
You imitated Ji Sang Ryeol?
- Yes, at that time, - Yes.
- I used to resemble Sang Ryeol. - Yes.
When we talked on the phone,
he said, "Se Jin,"
"how many people are next to you?"
"Come to Hongdae if you're not busy."
(His voice is exactly the same.)
I didn't understand what he was saying.
There was a woman next to him.
He asked how heavy her make-up was.
He has his own way of speaking.
- He asked? - He'd ask things like that.
You've lost 40kg?
Yes, around 40kg.
- Wow. - That's incredible.
Did you lose weight because of your ex-girlfriend?
- Yes. - That is amazing.
I was always insecure about my appearance.
I always thought...
that I would never have another girlfriend besides her.
I thought to myself, "Since I'm dumped,"
"I'm going to change."
(It's hitting home.)
So I decided to go on a diet...
and started taking care of my skin.
Does your ex-girlfriend know how you've changed?
- I'm sure she sees him on TV. - I'm sure she does.
- Has she contacted you yet? - Yes, she got in touch.
- Really? - She did?
- What did she say? - She texted me...
and said that she was glad to see I'm doing well.
She also said that, "Let's meet later if we can."
I replied, "I hope you stay happy, too."
And I thanked her.
You didn't ask if she was kidding?
- Actually, the idea for that... - Yes.
came from her when we used to joke around.
Oh, I see.
She was really funny, too.
She gave you that popular phrase before she left.
Yes.
Today, you are all sharing your stories.
It's very entertaining.
- Yes. - It's like a festival.
On "I Am a Singer" in China,
you sang "Bang Bang Bang" which became a huge hit.
- It was a hit. - Right.
On the first three shows,
I sang ballads and wanted to change things up.
I sang "Bang Bang Bang" on the fourth show.
- You sang and danced, right? - It was my first time, too.
I danced for the first time.
- Here's a clip. - Let's have a look.
Is it from the actual show?
The stage looks great.
Let's go!
("Bang Bang Bang" by Hwang Chi Yeul)
So cool.
I watched this.
- Me, too. - I was so proud.
(Everyone should watch this performance.)
- It was the 007 concept. - Wow.
(It started with the 007 concept.)
It's the same.
Yes.
The beginning is the James Bond concept.
I see.
(Singing earnestly with his magical husky voice)
Was it hard to sing and dance?
Yes, it was.
(He sang perfectly in Chinese.)
(Now it's the highlight.)
(Chi Yeul's raps enthusiastically.)
(This is Hwang Chi Yeul.)
He dances well.
How does he do it?
(The performance takes their breath away.)
Wow.
He looks even more handsome.
- Right? - What's this now?
- It's "Honey". - Right.
- This was a hit, too. - Really?
It was.
("Honey" by Hwang Chi Yeul)
He's originally a dancer, too.
That's right.
This is the highlight!
Wow, Michael Jackson.
- Chi Yeul is a good dancer. - Yes, he is.
- Women love him. - He was a vocal coach.
He was a vocal coach and dancer.
He had a dance team before.
(He has explosive vocals.)
He has a handsome face and great body.
He even sings well.
(He brings this amazing performance...)
(to Happy Together.)
(Hwang Chi Yeul)
He dances so well.
(He's so cool even with his slippers on.)
(He can make slippers sound like dress shoes.)
He's amazing.
Wow, he's so good.
His body is a work of art.
It's a great body roll.
Wow, he can really dance.
- And he's handsome. - Yes.
- He's full of confidence. - Wow.
(Chi Yeul's got it all.)
- Wow, that was great. - Thank you.
- You're the G-DRAGON of Gumi. - Right.
It became reality.
He was always famous in Gumi.
- Of course. - As a dancer.
- Right. - I was known for dancing.
Did you plan to dance on "I Am a Singer"?
I wanted to show a different side.
So I did "Bang Bang Bang" and "Honey"...
and a Chinese song.
- I won each time. - Wow.
- All three times? - Yes.
That's amazing.
I want to ask this just so we can get a perspective.
Are you recognised everywhere in China?
- Me? - How popular are you?
- How is it? - When he goes to China,
he can't move about freely.
- It's to that extent. - Really?
When we went to Beijing and Hong Kong,
fans swarmed into the airport.
We can't pass through normally. There is...
- We have to go through secretly. - Secretly?
- An airport fence also collapsed. - Yes.
- Cars would chase us. - There were so many fans.
A fence collapsed.
The police escorted me to a car.
That's the worst part in the airport.
We're stuck in customs.
He passes right through while we're waiting for three hours.
Sometimes I go through the process like everyone else.
But when there are too many fans, it's done separately.
Jae Seok, do you go...
- through customs in China? - "Running Man"?
I went to China to shoot "Running Man" a few times.
I did pass through during those times.
Fans hold up signs at the airport, right?
- Do they hold up your name? - Of course.
- There are a lot of signs. - With your name on it?
- He's really famous. - Yes.
- Of course. - He's very famous.
(He travels with private planes.)
In 2016, he was chosen as...
one of the most popular...
Korean celebrities in China.
He's in the top 10. He's one of them.
- Everyone knows him. - Yes.
Everyone knows his name. They'd say, "I know him."
Who's more famous, you or Jae Seok?
Me, of course.
(He's the most popular one.)
(He's so confident.)
- But... - I'll do the talking.
- Chi Yeul is a huge hit. - Right.
- I'm curious about something. - Yes.
I'm the only one who can ask this.
Do they really pay you well in China?
We heard it was 10 times more.
I didn't expect him to be so blunt.
- How could he ask this? - The viewers must be...
- "Do you get paid a lot?" - I'm really curious.
I've never worked in China.
There are rumours that it's 10 times more.
Do they really pay that much?
- Is it really... - Can I say?
- Why not? - How much is it?
- It's 100 times more. - Is it 10 times more?
It's 100 times more.
For a function?
- Well... - It's 100 times more?
I'll explain. This what happened.
We cancelled two events to be on Happy Together.
For two events,
- it was around 300,000. - It was 30 dollars?
It was 300,000 dollars.
You refused 300,000 dollars?
What are we doing?
(What have we done?)
What are you going to do about his appearance fee?
He gave up 300,000 dollars.
(Shocked)
He loves the show.
- Gosh. - Thanks.
Do you know how much you're getting paid?
- Do you know? - Of course.
- I was here before. - Well...
Let's give our earnings to him.
(Gather all the MCs' earnings.)
- Sae Ho, Hyeon Gyeong... - My goodness.
- What difference will it make? - Right, I didn't know.
It's 300,000 dollars.
The treatment is great there.
They're really good to artists in China.
It's a much bigger market there.
- It's a bigger market. - There are many broadcasting firms.
He's so famous that he was...
- on the top variety show in China. - I heard it's really famous.
You went on the show that only A-listers appear on, right?
Lee Min Ho, Park Hae Jin and Lee Jong Suk were on it, too.
I appeared twice in three months.
- Twice in three months? - Yes.
- I got hurt while on the show. - Why?
There's a game where you push people.
- I was thrown... - Oh, no.
and hurt my ribs.
Your fans must have been sad.
In front of my flat,
there were fans crying outside.
Do you have bodyguards stationed outside?
- Bodyguards? - Bodyguards.
Well...
- It's okay. - Just be honest.
How many do you have?
Six bodyguards surround me.
- Everywhere you go? - That's amazing.
- I have a funny story. - Right.
Let's say this is a cell phone.
- This is a cell phone. - Yes.
When people see their favourite celebrity,
they take selfies like this, right?
But with bodyguards...
(Shoving)
This is how they take selfies.
I get pushed out.
They end up taking a picture of themselves.
When I got used to it,
I pushed back when they shove.
- Chi Yeul... - That's incredible.
He's a model for a duty-free store.
- Wow. - Only stars do that.
- Only popular stars get to do that. - Exactly.
Isn't Kim Soo Hyun a model, too?
Yes, I've taken over his spot.
You pushed Soo Hyun out?
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - You pushed Soo Hyun out.
It's not that.
- You took Soo Hyun's spot. - No.
He's still a model. I squeezed in between...
and I'm standing next to him.
You're standing next to Soo Hyun.
Why is everyone standing up?
(Everyone got excited.)
Being a duty-free store model is a big deal.
- It's just... - It's a dream come true.
- That's amazing. - Just one month ago...
Since I'm at the Incheon airport a lot,
I see photographs of Lee Min Ho amongst others.
I see Korea's top celebrities at the airport.
I was working hard and had won twice.
I wanted to win one more time...
and I wished my picture was included at the very end.
- Since I go there quite often. - Right.
I wished my photograph was at the airport.
And the light shined...
down on me.
I was so grateful.
It's still surreal.
- I double-checked. - Why?
I checked if my photograph was really going to be in the airport.
Myung Soo admitted something just now.
- What did he say? - Only I heard it.
"I'm jealous."
Not just anyone can get a duty-free store advertisement.
He actually became a model.
Besides becoming a duty-free store model,
you have so many advertisement offers in China.
You're picking and choosing amongst them?
I have to consider my image.
If I just chase the money...
- You're picking and choosing? - Yes.
What kind of offers are you getting?
Facial sheet masks.
- Since he's handsome. - Cosmetics.
Cosmetics.
- Jewellery. - Jewellery?
- I see. - Jewellery?
- You know things like sapphires. - Right.
- Jewellery. - You know those things that I wear.
(An old-fashioned expression for a trendy guy)
Do you get any advertisement offers as his manager?
- Tell us. - One plus one?
Help me out.
We're going to do a concert when the show is over.
You need Yuan then.
- I love Yuan. - That'd be great.
- Really? - Yes.
- Promise me. - We'll see how much I get paid.
- Right. - I have to see how much I get paid.
Hurry up and promise.
- Make a pinky promise. - A pinky promise?
You must get homesick.
- Right. - Do you ever cry?
You sound like announcer Kim Dong Gun.
Thank you for watching "Gayo Stage".
To our viewers and those who are...
far from home...
Is it tough being away from home?
It only takes two hours to travel.
- It's like going to Busan. - Some might travel...
It takes less time than going home.
- It's true! - Right.
When I get on a flight to Beijing, they serve a meal.
- After eating, I recline my seat. - Yes.
Right when I'm about to nap,
the seatbelt sign comes on and they say we're going to land soon.
(Preparing to land)
When I go to my hometown, I sleep for a long time.
- I see. - It takes a long time.
Do you have any plans to work in China, Hyeon Gyeong?
- She looks Chinese. - I'm learning Chinese.
- Really? - Really?
Can you speak Chinese?
(Hello)
(I'm Zhang Yuan. What's your name?)
(I'm Hyeon Gyeong.)
(How long have you learned Chinese?)
(Is he busy?)
Why are you answering with a question?
(She's just talking one-sidedly.)
(You're handsome.)
(Am I pretty?)
She's asking about herself.
- What is that? - Her face is too sad for China.
She can do crying scenes.
She doesn't look sad at all.
- She can do crying scenes. - She should be smiling more.
Show us what you did last week.
(She's smiling and crying at the same time.)
Tae Kwan is a favourite of mothers.
He attended the top university in Canada...
and graduate school in the UK.
He worked at an advertising company in Canada.
Yes.
- Really? - I always enjoyed...
creating new things.
Creating and expressing ideas is always fun.
It's similar to comedy.
You discuss about new ides. I really like doing that.
Now I think about how to...
express writers' words in front of cameras.
I enjoy doing that a lot.
- You were the art director. - In advertising, I worked as...
an art director. It was a creative outlet for me.
Don't you have to draw well?
- Yes, but... - Sketch?
art directors just do basic sketches...
like the character we know...
- to get the message across. - Tae Kwan...
is good at capturing characteristics in drawings.
- I'm getting an idea now. - Wow.
- Are you scanning? - Yes, I am.
Can you draw for us?
Now, let's start...
- You can draw anyone. - Let's start with Jae Seok.
- Is he drawing circles? - Yes, it's simple.
You have to get the distinguishing feature just right.
(Sounds of sketching)
- He's good. - It seems like a rough sketch.
Even though it's a sketch...
- Wow, it's good. - He's a good drawer.
Wow.
(He plays a handsome doctor on "Descendants of the Sun".)
(He's also an auto mechanic.)
(He's multi-talented.)
(Is he as skilled as an artist?)
- It hasn't even been a minute. - Wow!
That's him.
(It resembles him.)
- How fascinating. - It didn't even take a minute.
- Wow! - Now, Hyun Moo.
Hyun Moo will be easy.
Just think of George Clooney.
It's so interesting.
- He draws so fast. - Exactly.
What if he draws a beard?
He draws so fast.
(He's speeding up.)
- It's taking longer. - He's so ugly.
- You look like you vomited. - He's done.
- I'm sorry. - You vomited.
(It's complete.)
The lower half is so messy.
It looks like I ate jajangmyeon.
- This is fun. - It's similar.
- I didn't eat jajangmyeon. - He's good.
He's a good drawer.
- Yes. - It was so fast.
Actually, Tae Kwan said earlier...
that he could speak...
different English dialects.
- That's an amazing skill. - Really?
- I have to keep it short. - Okay, just show us a little.
People from Gyeongsang-do speak like this.
Goodness, isn't it Jeolla-do accent?
This is the North American accent.
My name is Jasper, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - How are you?
- Thank you. - This is how British people speak.
I think my friends are here. Can I have some water, please?
- Wow. - Wow.
- If I go to India, - This is such a new talent.
I would say,
"I want to have this, but I cannot have this."
"So, do you want to go for tandoori chicken?"
(Is he going to Bollywood?)
That was great!
- I like the Indian accent. - This is how we do it.
Pronounce "W" like "V"...
and "V" like "W".
So you would say, "I want to."
(Pronounce "want" like "vant".)
"Victory" would be "wictory".
- Really? - Victory.
You speak English so well.
I heard the writer commented on your accent when speaking Korean.
I still have an accent.
But I let it go.
I didn't think I could speak Korean perfectly.
Daniel in the drama...
is not Korean. I thought it'd be weird if spoke perfect Korean.
But the writer told me...
my accent was a bit slippery like butter.
- I see. - She told me to do better.
I laughed and said that I did it on purpose.
She said, "Well, if it was on purpose..."
I'm Dr Daniel.
(Thus Tae Kwan filmed his first scene.)
I'm half-Korean, so I have an accent.
It might sound funny.
You can laugh if you want.
Your accent is great.
(It's the perfect accent for Daniel.)
You're good at English and Korean.
How did you learn Gyeongsang-do dialect?
I practised a bit. You can change the navigation voice.
Wow.
When you go the wrong way, it says,
- "The course is incorrect." - They speak in dialect.
What does it say?
- When you go the wrong way, - Yes.
"Oh, my goodness."
That's what it says.
(The hidden charm of the man from "Descendants of the Sun")
- That suits you, too! - "Oh, my goodness."
Then the navigation scolds you.
"Don't worry. I'll lead you in the right direction."
- Wow! - That's so funny.
It's funny.
Next time, I'll master Gangwon-do dialect.
Right, master that.
You're coming again?
(Bring Song Song couple next time.)
The five guests today...
all have different charms.
Hot boyfriend, foreign boyfriend and humorous boyfriend...
and the boyfriend who is about to join the army.
We're going to find out...
how popular you are with women.
First, Chi Yeul...
said work comes before love.
- Right. - Yes.
Before I became famous,
I was busy trying to survive.
I thought that love...
was a luxury at the time.
- It was hard to make ends meet. - You seem like you enjoy clubbing.
But you're an old soul?
My mother says I have an old soul.
Yes.
Well... I tend to be frugal.
- I try to save up. - You're frugal?
Most guys buy their girlfriends a handbag.
- They say, "That's so cute." - When they say that,
I tell them it's all the same as long as it holds stuff.
- You sound like a father. - Exactly.
What if your girlfriend asks for an expensive handbag on her birthday?
- I'd say, "Let's not buy it." - How about now?
How about when you're making good money like now?
- What if she asks for a handbag? - What if she likes the bag?
They're all the same.
(Cheapskate Chi Yeul)
Don't you know about eco-friendly handbags?
(He won't buy a handbag.)
We have to think about the environment.
There are environmentally-friendly baskets they hand out these days.
Baskets?
- Baskets? - Canvas bags...
that women can carry.
They're very good for the environment.
But you're making good money lately.
Do you spend money on yourself?
Do you like designer clothes?
I don't know much about brands.
- Your watch is expensive. - I don't know.
- They just told me to wear it. - Really?
- I don't know the brand. - It's a designer watch.
- This is expensive. - I'm not sure what brand it is.
- Was it a gift? - It's from a sponsor.
- Wow, amazing. - A sponsorship?
Wow.
They do a lot of that in China.
- Wow. - Amazing.
Even if you had a girlfriend,
- you'd still be frugal? - That's right.
If I think it's too much for a handbag,
I would tell her to hold back and make a comparison.
"Would you rather buy a bag for a few thousand dollars..."
- "or save up and buy a house?" - Gosh.
I heard Tae Kwan's nickname...
was the Asian hot guy.
- Really? - In middle and high school,
I played rugby.
It's not common for Asians...
to play rugby.
Students from another school said...
there was a hot Asian guy on the rugby team.
That's what I was known as.
There's a dance party called "prom" for graduation.
You have to bring a date.
I had someone in mind.
After a game when I was drenched in sweat,
I was huffing and puffing...
and asked her to prom.
Her friends next to her ran away screaming.
I told her I'd take that as a yes.
I thanked her and we went to prom together.
If that was us, a close friend might appear...
and say, "Excuse me."
"She can't go with you."
- "She has to go home early." - That's how it is.
Tae Kwan, if you like a woman,
I feel like you'd express it outright.
I always rode a bike in the UK.
On the way home...
if I saw a girl I was interested in,
even though I know the direction,
I'd ask her,
"Do you know how I can get there?"
She'd answer where she's headed.
Then I'd ask if we can go together and get off my bike.
We end up walking together.
I suddenly had a thought.
If your father sees this...
He sent you overseas to study...
- but you were doing that. - My goodness.
(I'm not going home today.)
- Can I ask you a question? - Sure.
- Have you ever dated a white girl? - Well...
- I'm curious. - I have.
Wow.
I heard you had girlfriends from every country.
When living overseas...
like Canada for example,
it's not like you get introduced...
and start going out.
You become friends, exchange numbers...
keep in contact...
and end up dating.
- There's no official starting date. - It's natural.
You don't say, "We're dating starting today."
- Don't you say thins like that? - No.
We don't really do that.
We become friends naturally first...
- and then become known as a couple. - How about anniversaries?
- So anniversaries are unclear. - There's no such thing.
Chi Yeul's style is to get physical before speaking.
- How? - His actions are louder than words.
When couples are dating,
- they argue from time to time. - Right.
When my girlfriend's angry,
I slide over and hug her from behind.
She protests when we've been arguing.
- Let go. - Stay still.
- What are you doing?
He sounds like an old man.
- What was that? - You know...
- "Stay still." - I tell them to stay still...
three times. Most women push away three times.
- They'd say, "Let go of me." - That's right.
Then they don't really push away aggressively.
They push away aggressively at first,
then they don't really push away.
- Gosh. - Look at him.
- Women want him to keep doing it... - Right.
- even if they reject at first. - But still...
How do you mollify your girlfriend, Tae Kwan and Sang Woo?
I also tend to be playful.
- Really? - Yes.
- Are you upset? - I am.
Are you really upset?
- I am really upset. - I want to say something. Look.
- I don't want to. - Will you look at me?
- Please. - Gosh.
Please forgive me.
(Laughing)
What did he do?
What was that?
Tae Kwan, I heard there is something you do...
when your girlfriend is upset.
She's usually pouting her lips and looking away when she is upset.
- Can you reenact it? - Can you?
(He slowly approaches.)
What are you doing?
Stop it!
(He pulls.)
(He pulls out her lips?)
- What on earth was that? - What was that?
What are you doing?
- Gosh. - Goodness.
Who are you being playful?
What are you doing right now?
What are you doing?
Does this work in North America?
- Does it work in North America? - Goodness.
I heard acting perversely in the public in front of many people...
can stop your girlfriend from being upset.
- Let me show you. - When your girlfriend is upset?
- Goodness. - Okay, stop it.
- What's wrong with you? - Okay, stop it.
Goodness, I'm tired!
(Goodness, I'm tired!)
(An angry boar appears on Happy Together.)
Goodness.
(I will step on you without hesitation.)
Why are you kicking him?
Ma'am, what was that?
What was that? Ma'am?
- What's going on? - Gosh.
That was Hyeon Gyeong's mother.
Really?
How can you treat my daughter like that?
Who does he think he is?
Wasn't I cute?
Hyeon Gyeong, after being...
in an argument with your boyfriend, is there anything...
you do to make him feel better?
- Can you act it out with Sang Woo? - So what?
(He turns into a bad guy.)
- Wow. - That's right, Sang Woo!
- His acting is great. - Yes.
- What's wrong? Are you upset? - What?
- Yes, I am. - What's wrong?
Why did you look at another man?
- He's good. - This is a justifiable reason.
- This is great. - Seriously.
Do you want to kiss?
Shall we?
(The bad guy turns soft in an instant.)
Shall we?
(There is nothing more to think about.)
(It feels like winning even though he lost argument.)
That was amazing.
(He gets his last kiss before joining the military.)
Wow.
That was great.
Thank you.
- That was good. - She said, "Do you want to kiss?"
That was...
I never imagined she'd say that.
It worked when I said that.
- It's a way to make them quiet. - Does that mean you've tried it?
- Yes, I've tried it before. - I see.
- Did it work? - I hugged him like this.
- I see. - See? It's similar to what I did.
- Both men and women are the same. - Right.
Wait, what did you say?
- They are the same. - Right.
- They will feel better. - I heard Tae Kwan...
always succeeds in making physical contact.
- What does that mean? - I think...
- I can't believe him. - Right.
It's nothing special.
I just go for it instead of asking if I can make physical contact...
or lead her in such a way that I can touch her.
I just go for it.
- How do you do that? - Well...
- I have something to say. - Are you acting it out?
- I have something to say. - What is it?
(Kiss)
(He approaches while seemingly indifferent.)
(He leaves a kiss on the cheek without a word.)
- Goodness. - I already kissed.
What if she doesn't like it?
I just go for it. I don't think they would dislike it.
- Don't they slap you? - No.
- How about holding her hand? - Holding her hand?
- Let's say she's sitting like this. - Okay.
Then I put my hand close to hers,
and I say, "Why are you holding my hand?"
"Why are you holding my hand?"
What if she says she didn't?
- She didn't hold yours first. - I didn't hold your hand first.
Aren't you holding my hand?
- See? - I guess I am.
Yes.
- Let's go. - I love you.
Does your father know about this?
Seriously.
Does he know?
Your father must pray for you a lot.
Seriously.
He'd pray and say, "Forgive my son."
You seem like a natural.
Are you a playboy?
No, I am not. When I am in a relationship with a woman,
I'd stay faithful to her and prefer long term relationship.
I may seem like a bad guy,
but I am actually very nice.
Sang Woo is a type of man who is devoted to his girlfriend.
You are a good man.
When I was in high school, my girlfriend finished class at 9pm,
so I picked her up...
from school at 9pm and walked her to the academy.
When her academy ended at midnight,
I walked her home again.
- I did that for three years. - Really?
People from Gyeongsang-do usually don't do that.
That's what I usually do.
I'm only devoted to one woman.
- I see. - When did you study then?
So I had a hard time.
- I am sorry. - I see.
Anyway...
Do you tend to be possessive?
I don't allow her to talk to another man...
- Why not? - since I'm quite conservative.
- Really? - I'm exactly the same.
I don't allow her to wear tops that are low-cut.
- You don't allow her? - Really?
Women should cover themselves.
- What are you talking about? - How low can it go?
- The breasts... - The breasts?
I am sorry that I said breasts.
There are some...
(Dirty hands)
What are you trying to say?
(It's impossible to make up for what he did.)
- What are you trying to show? - What was that?
That was just awkward.
- Yes, I'm talking about V-neck. - V-neck?
- I don't want her cleavage to show. - What would you do...
if you witnessed another man grabbing her hand at a club?
Let's act it out.
- Okay, let's do it. - Let's say you're at a club.
She's with her friends.
(Is Hyeon Gyeong having a good time?)
- Give me your hand. - Bombastic.
What are you doing?
(I'm going to protect my girlfriend.)
(Flustered)
Goodness.
(I'm going to protect my daughter, too.)
Gosh, what are you doing?
Ma'am.
Ma'am, what brings you to the club?
Hyeon Gyeong's mother is here.
I...
(Chaotic)
Hyeon Gyeong's mother...
came all the way to the club.
Pardon me.
I am sorry, but are you Hyeon Gyeong's guardian spirit?
What are you doing?
Hyeon Gyeong's mother came to the club.
That was quite aggressive.
- I am quite aggressive toward men. - I see.
I was very surprised.
Some women actually like this.
I would like it very much.
- Really? - Wouldn't it be suffocating?
I like when men are possessive.
- Really? - It's an expression of his love.
Tae Kwan, what would you do...
- in this situation? - In this situation?
Why? What's up? What's the problem?
- I would take him outside. - Take your girlfriend out?
- You would take the man outside? - The man.
- What would you say to him? - I see.
Let's not fight. Let's be friendly.
I'd approach him in a sweet way.
In a sweet way?
- I'd be nice to him. - Really?
Why would you talk sweetly to a man at a club?
With the hands under the chin?
- Like this? - Yes.
Chi Yeul, how do you approach...
a woman that you like?
I may not seem like it, but I can't approach women easily.
Instead, I'd send her...
a text message every hour.
I'd write, "This reminds me of you."
"This coffee is very bitter, but it'd be sweet if I were with you."
I'd write, "I smelled a whiff of..."
"a familiar perfume and it smelled like you."
"I want to pick this flower and give it to you."
- I keep sending. - That is a great way.
It's like he reports to her.
I heard you send photos of you being shirtless.
I'd do that at night.
- At night? - At night?
I'd do that at night. If she sends me a message...
asking what I've been doing, I'd tell her that I worked out...
and I was about to shower when she messaged me.
- Then I... - You take off your shirt?
I'd send her a photo of myself after working out.
How did she react when you sent her that photo at night?
(She says, "Hmm".)
She doesn't send me a text.
- She sends me an emoticon. - I see.
A blushing emoticon?
- Yes. - I see.
I heard there was a time...
Tae Kwan felt worthless while he was in a relationship.
That's right.
When I am in a relationship with someone in Korea,
I usually pay for things.
We get card transaction notification through text messages.
On my way out of the restaurant, I keep staring at the messages.
I spent 20 dollars plus 30 dollars plus...
When she asks me what I am doing,
I would apologise and feel embarrassed.
If you don't have enough money to spend on your date...
- I know. - I understand.
You have to skip a meal if you buy her some coffee.
- I know. - Right.
Some women don't pay for anything while knowing he's in a rough spot.
(No one sympathises.)
Please edit this out.
(Please edit this out.)
I usually pay when we're on a date.
I don't feel comfortable letting a woman pay for things.
Maybe it's because I'm from Busan.
One day, I went out to eat with my girlfriend,
but I didn't have much money at the time.
I was young back then, so I didn't have much money.
While looking at the menu,
I was hoping she wouldn't choose something expensive.
- You couldn't tell her? - No, I couldn't.
I was hoping she wouldn't order that dish.
Otherwise, I'd have to pay a lot.
Thankfully, we ordered what I could afford.
However, after I paid for the meal, I had to walk home for an hour.
- We've all experienced that. - In the past,
when I went on a date with my girlfriend,
I calculated all the costs in advance.
When we went to a bar,
I predicted how much it would cost and counted how much I had.
However, we ordered an additional nacho dish.
- Wait a minute. - He must have been flustered.
I said, "It's okay, go outside."
I told her that I'd pay for it.
However, I exceeded the credit limit.
- Because of the nachos? - When I exceeded the limit,
I texted my friend to borrow some money,
but my girlfriend came back in because I was taking too long.
She asked, "What's wrong? Why are you still here?"
I was so flustered so I said,
"Magnesium stripe is messed up."
- Magnesium? - It's magnetic stripe, but...
I said, "Magnesium stripe is messed up."
I kicked my blankets 30 times out of embarrassment.
(It's Se Jin's embarrassing memory that he wants to erase.)
- Did she pay for it instead? - What happened?
- She did pay for it. - That was nice of her.
That could happen.
The magnesium stripe of her card could have gotten messed up.
It's magnetic.
Please remove that, too.
How much should they remove? Every time you talk?
Please use special effects to remove Myung Soo from now on.
It's possible with today's technology.
- He should go. - But his voice remains.
- I feel quite pathetic. - Right.
(We thank our guests for being with us today.)
(Sang Woo joined the army on April 5th, 2016.)
Hello, viewers of Happy Together.
I'm Actor Do Sang Woo.
By the time this is aired,
I will be in the boot camp.
As a proud soldier of Korea,
I will come back after finishing my military service.
I was glad I came on Happy Together before I join the army. Thank you.
(See you again at Happy House after you finish military service.)
(See you again next week.)
