It's always better when we're together,
Happy Together!
- Hello! - Hello!
I'm happy to see you all.
Myung Soo, when you think of girl groups,
which one comes to mind first?
Coco and T.T.MA come to mind.
- T.T.MA? - Was there a group called Coconut?
- Coco. - It's Coco.
- It's Coco, not Coconut. - I thought he said Coconut.
- Gosh, Coco. - Lee Hye Young.
My favourite girl group was BB.
- Goodness, BB. - Yes, BB.
- Right. - I know the history of girl groups.
I can tell you the top three girl groups of the moment.
- Who are they? - The first one is TWICE.
- Yes, TWICE should be one of them. - The second one is I.O.I.
- Right. - It also includes MAMAMOO.
- They're the hottest groups. - Let's meet today's guests now.
We invited members...
of old and new girl groups.
- Could we call it a collaboration? - A collaboration?
- That's what it feels like. - There will be a generation gap.
Let's meet the representatives of the older girl groups first.
- They rang the doorbell. - Ding dong.
- They're here now. - They seem tall.
- Hello! Hello! - Hello.
Here are the older girl groups.
- Oh, my! - Bada!
I'm so mad.
Park Jung A is here, too. Welcome!
Spin!
Je A is here, too.
- I'm so mad - I'm so mad.
You make me crazy
I feel crazy whenever I see you.
Was I good?
I have a feeling that today's going to be a long day.
- I go crazy - I go crazy.
- I go crazy - I go crazy
I'm so mad.
- If you want me - All right, that's enough.
Please have a seat.
All right.
We have three charismatic ladies here.
They're the three representatives of old girl groups.
One of you are still a member of a girl group...
and the other two aren't in girl groups any more.
However, all of you are shining...
in the area you're currently working in.
But today, they've gathered here...
as members of old girl groups.
Let's welcome other guests, too.
- The newcomers, come on out! - Welcome to the show!
- I'm excited! - So they are the old ones?
- I.O.I! - It's I.O.I!
That's Na Young!
Welcome, Chae Yeon. Yoo Jung, thank you for coming.
(Lim Na Young, Jung Chae Yeon and Choi Yoo Jung of I.O.I)
(I.O.I, the dream girls)
(Their average age is 19.)
(They're the youngest girl group.)
(We're here to learn a thing or two from our seniors!)
(As soon as I.O.I enters...)
Hello, Na Young!
Welcome, Chae Yeon.
- What are you doing? - Yoo Jung!
(Oh my goodness.)
- Yes! - Welcome.
Today's show will be amazing.
I'm also excited to meet them.
They woke me up.
We're here with the Dream Girls today.
- Dream girls - Dream girls.
- Dream girls - Please have a seat.
Look at the two of them.
They look so much alike.
- You're right. - I told them to sit together.
They do look alike.
- Oh, my. - They really look like each other.
- Seriously. - Her nickname is Stone Na Young...
- and she's Sad-faced Hyeon Gyeong. - Sad-faced Hyeon Gyeong.
They really look alike.
- They really do. - Everyone thinks so.
- I see. - Are you two doppelgangers?
Na Young looks so young.
- As I mentioned earlier, - They're so much alike.
Today's topic is "The New and the Old".
- Who are the old ones? - The three...
- old ones here today... - I don't think it's us.
Who are the old ones?
- Who are the old? - You three.
- We're not old. - We're still working actively.
- What's this nonsense? - I know you're still working.
You're older than them, right?
- Yes, we are. - Yes, we're older.
- We're older than them. - Exactly.
Bada, why are you wearing so much make-up today?
What? I'm barely wearing any make-up today.
- This is my bare face. - Bada.
Pardon? Did you say that's your bare face?
- Yes, it's true. - What are those on your eyes, then?
My eyelashes grow really fast these days. I have to trim them.
Is that so?
(Her eyelashes apparently grow very fast.)
Tell me honestly.
Aren't you surprised because I'm so pretty in person?
- Tell me the truth. - Don't force her.
It's true that I look prettier in person.
I'll ask the scriptwriters. Aren't I prettier in person?
I don't even know what to say to that.
All three girls' jaws have dropped.
- Are you girls shocked? - Tell us what your...
- I look better in person, right? - first impression of Bada was like.
Just answer me that.
(Nodding)
Just so you know, I was rooting for you.
I'm sorry, but you sound like a scary teacher right now.
Teacher, that's enough.
- Drink this and calm down. - Yes, please calm down.
Please have some coffee.
- You sounded like a teacher. - Well...
Please be easy on them.
She was demanding an answer.
- Principal, I'm really sorry. - Really?
- He's the vice-principal. - Is this a school for musicals?
- The Physical Education teacher. - Hello, everyone.
All right. Let's have another fun class today!
This side looks like a staff room overall.
Today's show is a gathering...
of girl groups from the 20th century and the 21st century.
Is this better than calling you "the older ones"?
- The ones from the 20th century... - I'm from the 21st century, though.
Be quiet, please.
- We have a lot to cover today. - We have a lot to talk about.
Je A keeps doing that.
Je A, let's stay focused.
- That's right! - Je A is saying that...
because these two debuted in the 90s and she debuted in 2006.
- He knows his stuff. - I see.
- That's true. - I debuted in 2001.
- Right, you did. - Jung A, you debuted in 2001?
- You're the only one, then. - No one else debuted in the 90s.
I'm the ancestor!
(She's like an ancestor to all girl groups.)
You girls are all below me!
Please sit down already!
(Today is not an easy shoot.)
- But look... - Hyun Moo, when did you debut?
Me? A long time ago.
- When did you debut? - 2003.
Pay some respect!
By the way, the three of you...
look like members of a new girl group.
- He's right. - That's a good idea.
- It's not a bad idea. - I think it'll be great.
- I'm the youngest! - We're close friends.
- I'm the youngest one. - She is.
You're the youngest? You're 36 years old, though.
Don't say that!
- Are you really 36 years old? - I'm sorry.
- It's not true. - That's what was on the internet.
- Doesn't she look so young? - Is she really 36?
- She's one year younger than me. - You're 37 years old?
- Jung A. - Yes.
Why do you keep touching your under-eye area?
My hand automatically started doing that when I heard her age.
- Wait a second. - Are you really 36?
- Yes, I am. - But we're still young at heart.
- You're already that old? - But I must say that...
- all of you are still beautiful. - That's right.
As you know, today's topic is "The New and the Old".
Let's introduce the younger ones.
- They're the new generation. - That's right.
She looks like she jumped out of the pages of a romantic comic.
- Introducing Choi Yoo Jung! - Choi Yoo Jung!
She's so cute.
She's adorable.
She's the pretty doll of I.O.I.
She's got a pretty face...
- and a beautiful heart. - Sae Ho.
Where are you looking?
- You were reading off the script. - You have to look at her.
- I'm feeling too shy. - She's right here.
- Why were you looking over there? - To be honest,
I'm feeling shy about seeing I.O.I from so close.
She's got a pretty face and a beautiful heart.
She will be the next Suzy. Introducing Jung Chae Yeon!
- This is amazing. - Suzy! Suzy!
Isn't she pretty?
Je A, you were their vocal trainer.
- Really? - Yes.
I heard you named Chae Yeon as the prettiest member of the group.
- You have a good eye. - The camera just loves her.
She's also very pretty in person.
All the instructors were very surprised.
We were like, "She looks absolutely stunning on camera."
So she looks even prettier on camera.
Yes. It's as if the camera adds a hint of mystery to her beauty.
- Please introduce the next guest. - Okay.
I finally found my long-lost sister after 22 years.
The leader of I.O.I, the Stone-faced Lim Na Young!
- Lim Na Young! - Nice to meet you.
You two look so much alike.
- They look so similar. - She looks like Hyeon Gyeong.
Your names pop up as each other's related keywords.
- Yes, I've heard it a lot. - You must have.
- Na Young, have you been told that? - Yes, I also read articles...
- about our resemblance. - How did it make you feel?
- She's an actress... - Yes.
So I was worried it would have a negative effect.
You were worried about it affecting you...
- in a negative way? - No! Not at all!
(Jumping)
I was worried about Hyeon Gyeong.
I was just kidding.
But you two could really pass as sisters.
- I know. - Everyone thinks so.
Our spaced-out faces look so much alike.
- Show us your blank faces, then. - Let's see that.
- Look straight ahead. - Bring your faces close together.
- Bring your faces together. - Show us your blank faces.
One, two, three!
(Close-up blank faces)
- They look alike. - Now, give us a smile.
Smile for us.
(Are they smiling or crying?)
How can they look so much alike?
- The resemblance is uncanny. - It's awesome.
- They're both pretty. - They're really awesome.
(Coming soon)
- Pick me, pick me, pick me up - Pick me, pick me, pick me up.
(Happy House exclusive performance)
(It takes the older ones back to their prime...)
(and lets the younger ones flaunt their passion.)
(Stay tuned for a special performance of "Pick Me".)
- Je A, when you trained I.O.I, - Yes.
I heard that so many guys got in touch with you.
I guess men found you very attractive...
as a teacher when you were their vocal trainer.
Oh, that's not the case.
I kept getting calls like, "I like that one."
- I see. It wasn't about you. - My male friends...
would just call me out of the blue...
and say, "Lim Na Young. I like Lim Na Young."
I was like, "So what?"
- Were some of them celebrities? - Yes, celebrities called too.
- Let's say I called you. - Show us what happened.
- Hello? It's me, Sae Ho. - Hi.
I like Jung Chae Yeon.
So what?
- I want to meet her. - She doesn't like you!
- She won't even listen to him. - That was funny.
"She doesn't like you."
Judging from her tone, I can tell she's received a lot of such calls.
Right. She sounded so annoyed.
- They were extremely popular. - I know.
On top of telling you who they liked,
they must have asked you so many questions about I.O.I.
Yes, I had people asking me what they were like in person...
- and if they were looking to date. - If they have boyfriends or not?
I don't know why they ask me such things.
It's not like they stand a chance.
Those guys are so much older, too.
Na Young, I understand you still find it hard to believe...
- when someone says, "I'm your fan!" - "Na Young, I'm a fan!"
Yes, I've been training for a long time, just like Yoo Jung.
When someone tells me they're a fan,
I feel that it's because I'm a member of I.O.I.
I don't think it's about me.
- You don't think it's your fame. - That's how I feel.
She thinks it's because she's a member of I.O.I.
How long did you train for?
- Around 5 years. - I see, 5 years.
Spending five years as a trainee is not easy.
Did you ever feel like quitting, thinking that it's not your path?
I was getting nowhere...
after training for almost five years.
I went on "Produce 101" just as I was about to give up and quit.
- That's what happened. - It must have been so hard...
because you couldn't know when you'd make your debut.
- Exactly. - What about you, Na Young?
For me, age was an issue.
For idols, it's better to debut when you're young.
It makes a difference.
I thought I'd debut by the time I was 20 but then I turned 21...
- so I thought I'd just study. - You must feel old.
- Are you 21 now? - I am 22 years old.
- You're still very young... - She's so young.
But as she said, in the idol industry, it's not that young.
For your reference, Na Young was born in 1995.
- Yoo Jung was born in 1999. - She's 18 years old.
- Chae Yeon... - I was born in 1997.
She was born in 1997.
- You have members born in 2000... - I debuted on November 28, 1997.
Chae Yeon was born when you debuted.
You must have heard my great songs from birth.
(S.E.S music is the best for prenatal education.)
Is that how it works out?
- I'm sure her mum listened to us. - Did she?
Chae Yeon, did you know who Bada was?
- I heard so much about S.E.S. - You heard a lot about it.
Yes. I saw clips of them on the internet, too.
I never saw the group on television, though.
So you only saw them online.
I remember seeing Bada the most...
on programmes like "Immortal Songs".
What did you think of her when you first saw her?
- I thought she was strong. - Strong.
(Bada is a strong female warrior on the stage.)
Strong. You saw correctly.
- She's fierce. - How about you, Yoo Jung?
We studied the first generation pop artists at the agency...
- so we learned about them. - Like studying historical figures.
- They're a class discussion topic. - They only appear in textbooks.
- They appear in textbooks. - Like in Korean history textbooks.
- In the history of girl groups. - In the girl group textbook.
- They made their debut in 1997. - "Idols of the 90s."
The fact that we are in their learning material...
implies we are the first generation and must be learned about.
- Of course. - Congratulations.
Hyeon Gyeong, you know them well, don't you?
- They're the same generation. - I danced to "I'm Your Girl"...
- for my school show. - Really?
Can you really dance to "I'm Your Girl"?
Thank you. Finally.
- Please show us, Hyeon Gyeong. - I can.
- Like this... - She's our dancer.
Believe me.
(Her body remembers the dance from 19 years ago.)
Let's try it together.
- Sit down. - One, two, three, four.
That's all we need to see.
(Please, Bada.)
- That's all we need. - After a lot of editing,
you could lack usable footage.
- This is perfect for such cases. - We have more than enough of you.
We're wearing matching colours.
- This is far too much. - I've never seen him like this.
- I couldn't help it. - He's usually very nice.
(Jae Seok is the symbol of kindness.)
- He kept telling her to sit down. - Let me speak for Bada.
S.E.S debuted when I was in high school.
Don't help her like that. Help her calm down.
- Bada... - Bada came out with a new album.
- I brought them here. - She literally came with them.
- I was really surprised. - Here.
- We usually just mention albums... - Sit down.
- but she really brought them. - This is for Hyeon Gyeong.
- This is for Hyun Moo. - Thank you.
This is for Jae Seok.
- It's the 20th anniversary edition. - Right, it is.
- I already gave these to the girls. - It's the 20th anniversary edition.
I thought it was Ha Chun Hwa's album.
- I didn't get to sign every CD. - Goodness.
I was momentarily shocked.
Do I not get one?
- You wait. - Wait?
- Wait. - She went that way...
and when she turned back, I thought she'd give me one.
- She didn't bring one for you. - Sae Ho.
Bada, please sing one phrase of your new song...
- Yes. - since it's a new album.
My new song is called "Flower".
This is how the chorus goes.
I'm your flower.
(They're impressed.)
When I sing, "I'm your flower", I do this.
This is the dance.
(Please copy me!)
I'm your flower It's very easy.
- Here we go. - Wait.
How can you promote your song so blatantly?
- This part won't get edited. - It's very long, too.
- It was exclusively for you. - Please make it short.
- Let's keep it short. - Let's try.
I'm your flower.
- Flower - Flower.
(It's Bada and her flowers.)
I'm your flower.
- Flower - Flower.
Become my light and shine over me.
- That's how it goes. - Bravo!
- By the way, we ended up... - Please listen to my new song.
Doing this. Je A, isn't that...
- what you do when you say, "Right"? - "Right"?
- No. - It is.
- She's old. - You girls don't know this, do you?
- We know it. - Do you know it?
- How do you know it? - It's a very old joke.
- Their parents taught them well. - They know everything.
- It came out in the early 90s. - I saw it on videos.
Try it. How does it go?
(Right!)
- She's so cute. - She's adorable.
Chae Yeon, try it, too.
I'm so pleasantly surprised they know this.
- You have to make your face slim. - They are so adorable.
- You have to make your face slim. - They are so cute.
- Make your face slim. - That's it!
- Good job! - Say the word.
Right!
Well done!
- How does she know this? - How can she know this?
- How does she know it? - "Right!"
Try it together.
- She's really good, too. - Make your face really thin.
(She makes a thin face.)
Make it slimmer.
(She makes a thin face, too.)
- Right! - Right!
(No matter what they do, the Sad-faced Sisters look alike.)
All right. Let's talk to Jung A now.
First of all, let's give her a round of applause to congratulate her.
Jung A is now...
Baby one more time.
(The newly-wed replies with a dance.)
(She jumps up.)
Baby one more time.
She's still good!
She's still got it!
- She's still got it. - You don't look married.
This dance was a craze.
- This was the dance. - This was the dance.
Your fingers don't easily meet.
Like he said, it's very tricky to make your fingertips meet.
- They don't meet. - Whenever that happened...
and I tried to make them meet,
In Young always dragged me out.
- She told me not to obsess over it. - That's funny.
It's very tricky to make your fingertips meet.
You should still be performing as a girl group. You retired too soon.
- I know. - It's too bad.
- I know. I want to have another go. - I know.
- You're married so you're done. - What are you talking about?
- What is she done with? - Bada!
- Once married, you're out. - Is that right?
How long has it been?
It's only been about three weeks.
- Three weeks. Wait, - That's the best time.
- I think it's been about a month. - How is it to be married?
- It feels like I have a flatmate. - Does it?
- Is it because you're busy? - Yes. I've been busy.
I'm preparing for a musical these days.
I came to promote my musical today.
Talk about it.
I am performing in "All Shook Up".
- With Wheesung. - With Wheesung.
We guarantee you a good time...
with great songs. Please come.
- Her intonation has changed... - Please come.
Because she's in a musical.
- I do it unconsciously. - It's like she's performing.
That's why she was like that.
Usually when she greets me,
she just goes, "Hi, Bada!" That's what she does.
- And? - She doesn't use her hands.
- How about today? - Today, she went, "Bada!"
- Right! - That's what she did.
- I thought it was strange. - That's funny.
- I was shocked. - She's in character, that's why.
- That's what she did. - I thought she was going to spin.
Jung A does a lot of these.
We have the older generation...
and the new generation of girl groups.
- Using keywords... - We'll see if they're old or young.
- We will check. - If they are old or young.
When I give you a keyword tell us what comes to mind.
(What comes to mind when you hear, "Happy Together"?)
(The youngest will say "Happy House", young will say "sauna"...)
(and the old would say, "Silver Tray Karaoke".)
- This is going to be fun. - I don't think I'll be good.
I hate things like this.
Let's test if you are old or young.
Please sing the next part.
(Which song do you think of when you hear, "head to toe"?)
Let's go.
From head to toe.
You are lovely.
From head to toe You are a hot issue.
- Right. - There's that, too.
From head to toe.
You are a hot issue.
- From head to toe - You are a hot issue.
- Why do they think of that? - Why would you sing that?
- From head to toe - Oronamin C.
(He proves he's the youngest.)
(It's the song from a drink commercial he was in.)
What's that?
This is the youngest generation's answer!
This is the newest generation's answer.
- How can you think otherwise? - You are unbelievable.
- This is what you should sing. - You're unbelievable.
(It's the song for a drink commercial Hyun Moo was in.)
This question was unfair.
- Goodness. - Only young people know this.
- Right. - Oh, my.
- Right? - Yes.
- I didn't know this song. - Here's the next one.
Which song includes the word, "sea" in the title?
Songs that include the word, "sea" in the title?
- Lying down by the sea - I thought of that, too!
- Me, too! - It's a good song.
(The old ladies are excited.)
Je A, what did you think of?
- My sky my sea - Right! That's it!
- That's it. UP. - That's a good one.
- How about you? - "Prince of the Sea".
- Prince of the sea - It's Myung Soo's song!
I thought of "Prince of the Sea".
"Prince of the Sea".
If sea was land.
(He proves he's the oldest.)
- Moving on. - This is not easy.
This will settle things.
- This will settle everything. - What is it?
- I... - Jung A?
- Me? god. - god!
- Bye - I thought of that, too.
- Don't go - Be happy.
- Don't leave - Don't leave.
- Forget me - And move on.
- Don't forget me - Please don't harmonise.
(The old singer shows off her karaoke skills.)
How about the word, "lie"?
- I'm so sorry but I love you - It's all a lie.
- I didn't know but now I do - I know that song, too.
I know that song, too. It just doesn't pop out readily.
I know that song, too.
Don't go.
- Be happy - Don't leave.
- I'm so sorry but I love you - It's all a lie
I didn't know but I now I do.
- I need you - I didn't know.
Are you singing a Korean traditional song?
- I thought he was. - Everyone has a preference.
I didn't know.
Why would you do that?
- He can't hit high notes. - I do it because I can't sing high.
This is the last one.
- It's another decider. - This will be fun.
- This will settle everything. - I want to pick the young answer.
- Don't say what you know. - The keyword is "coffee".
10cm!
I ordered a cup of coffee.
("A Cup of Coffee" by Pearl Sisters)
I wait for you to come.
They are seniors indeed.
- One, two! You - Burn my heart.
Lovely!
- Je A, I know you thought of it. - Oh, dear.
- I really... - She keeps singing the new songs.
I know it's hard to believe...
- but I don't know many old songs. - Is it true?
Which song did you think of then?
I thought of 10cm's "Americano".
- Hey! - That sounded like a curse!
How could you say it like that?
- I thought it was something else. - Je A.
- How could she say that? - Excuse me,
but why did you curse at us?
- You shocked us. - You did.
- I was shocked as well. - She stared right at me, too.
- She's a scary character. - She is.
- It's "10cm". - Which song comes to mind?
(She's still thinking.)
- Coffee! - Americano.
- "Americano". - 10cm.
(She only just heard this.)
When you hear the word "coffee"...
Hey, Je A.
- I ordered a cup - Of coffee.
(Her body remembers the song.)
That's great. I love it.
- That's it. - I love her gestures.
- This is who she really is. - I really love it.
Bye, girls of the 20th century.
We will move on to the girls of the 21st century.
- Bye. - Bye, girls.
- Bye. - See you later, girls!
- Take care. - Let's meet the new generation.
They're the 21st century girls.
They all have nicknames.
Na Young has many.
- Right? - "Stone Na Young".
"Stone-faced Na Young" was my original nickname.
- Why "Stone-faced Na Young"? - She's not very expressive.
Yes. During "Produce 101",
I was very nervous and always had a serious face...
so I looked very stern on the show.
- I see. - Are you in a good mood now?
I am.
(She's very happy right now.)
- She's a lot more expressive. - She is.
Apparently, Na Young is worried that since gaining such nicknames,
she feels like she has to constantly put on a serious face.
I shot a commercial recently.
It was a ramyeon commercial.
I had to eat heartily...
- and vote afterwards. - Okay.
The director told me to eat with a straight face.
(Na Young, please eat with a straight face.)
How can you eat ramyeon with a straight face?
It was so delicious that I expressed my feelings after eating...
and I was told not to do that.
- What happened then? - What happened?
I just ate with a stern face...
- and that was that. - Really?
- Na Young smiles well. - Her smile is beautiful.
- She's beautiful when she smiles. - I know.
I met Na Young for the first time today...
and when I saw her,
she looked so blue.
I thought something had happened to her last night.
I felt like I had to comfort her.
You know me, I have to comfort them. I can't help it.
It's a condition I have.
When younger singers seem sad or sick,
- I have to comfort them. - Is that your condition?
Yes, it's a condition only I have.
- She has to comfort people. - I believe her...
because during the break, she called the I.O.I members...
- and talked to them. - To the three girls.
(During the break, )
(Ba Da gives sincere advice to the young girls.)
- What did you talk about? - What did she say?
She gave us advice.
- She gave us good advice... - She did.
- coming from experience. - She didn't threaten you?
No.
- Perhaps she told you to be quiet. - Or she scolded you.
- I talked about three things. - Yoo Jung denies the allegations.
- Just remember the three points. - Okay.
- What are those three things? - She managed to interrupt.
- Chae Yeon... - She's the next Suzy.
That's right.
Don't you get told that a lot?
Well, opinions are divided.
- I don't deserve such praise. - Whether they look alike or not,
- she's very beautiful. - That's right.
- Yoo Jung looks like Son Yeon Jae. - You're right.
- Right? - She does look like her.
She does look like Son Yeon Jae.
When I first joined "Producer 101"...
- You stood in the centre. - Yes.
- I was really surprised. - It's hard to be in the centre.
- Yes. - My mum was surprised, too.
- Really? - When I was picked as the centre,
I didn't tell her about it.
So when it was aired,
- she didn't expect anything. - She must've been surprised.
I'm envious. We stood in order of our initials.
- S.E.S. - It was S.E.S all the time.
Eugene was always in the centre.
- I envied you a lot. - You were never in the centre.
She was even chosen out of 101 people.
I know. It's not easy. They voted, right?
- Right. - She's amazing.
- You must've been very happy. - It's an honour.
- How did it feel? - Did it feel different?
It came with responsibility...
but I was really bothered by something.
My fringe gets greasy all the time.
So that's where all the oil went.
- Your fringe gets greasy? - Yes.
Even the director...
kept telling the stylist to do something about my fringe.
- But it looks all right now. - My fringe is having a good day.
(Her fringe is having a good day.)
- Why does your fringe get greasy? - She's adorable!
- I am not sure but I sweat a lot. - I see.
So her concern is her greasy fringe.
I'll recommend a good shampoo for you.
- It gets rid of grease. - Thank you.
I didn't expect anyone to interrupt on this topic.
She's gifted. By the way,
- that was great timing. - She's amazing.
- You managed to interrupt. - She's unbelievable.
(Bada teaches the girls a thing or two.)
By the way, I heard you all have special talents.
- I'm sure they have many talents. - They must be talented.
Just keep in mind what I told you earlier.
What will you show us?
- Na Young. - Let's do this, Na Young.
I can imitate a chicken.
- Chicken! - She can do a chicken.
(She imitates a chicken.)
I'm sorry.
That was wrong.
(Coughing)
(The chicken chokes while crying.)
- That's... - It wasn't good.
You sounded nothing like a chicken.
(She tries again.)
(They feel bad for her.)
- Na Young, seriously... - I need to warm up first.
I think the chicken knows it's dying soon...
and that's why it sounds like that.
You managed to interfere again!
(It's a miracle.)
Unbelievable!
(It's the sorrowful cry of a chicken facing death.)
She can interrupt any conversation.
Next, let's talk to Chae Yeon.
- What did you prepare? - Chae Yeon...
- can imitate Myung Soo. - You can imitate me?
- Yes, she can. - But she's a girl.
- She can imitate Myung Soo. - Show me.
- I never tried it before. - It's new, which is good.
- It's her first time. - You're imitating me, right?
- She can do it. - Is that right?
Let's go!
She sounds like you!
- She did it! - She sounds like you!
- She's getting the swing of things. - Myung Soo, show us the original.
- You start quietly. - Watch him closely.
- Let's go! - That's it.
- Try it. - Let's go!
Let's go!
(She copies his gesture and face perfectly.)
- Good job. - She's so cute.
- That was good. - That was lovely.
(Her voice is dubbed.)
(It's synchronised.)
Yoo Jung, do you have a talent to show us?
- I prepared something... - Okay.
But I already did it a few times elsewhere.
Even if you did it elsewhere,
you could do a better version here.
- Okay. - Really put your heart into it.
I'll imitate an orangutan.
- That's not easy! - Amazing!
- I can do a gorilla imitation. - Really?
- He's ready to do it with you. - I'll respond right away.
- I'm excited. - Please show us.
(She imitates an orangutan.)
(Yoo Jung the orangutan calls for Sae Ho the gorilla.)
(Sae Ho the gorilla appears.)
Talk to her.
(Where are you, Yoo Jung the orangutan?)
It came back.
(Do you hear my cry?)
- She's good. - Yoo Jung,
- please add some gestures. - Perform with him.
- Please perform with him. - You should do this too.
- Call out for him. - Call for your friend.
(Sae Ho the gorilla, let's play!)
(They meet again.)
She's good.
(She has become an orangutan.)
Like real wild orangutans...
the continuously search for food and become close.
(Have this.)
She's starting to regain her orangutan instincts.
Yoo Jung!
- Bravo. - She's good.
- She's really good. - She's good.
- She's good. - I'm proud of her.
In other shows, you only made the sound.
- Yes. - See?
- She did it just for our show. - Of course.
- That's what I taught her. - Yoo Jung did this!
It's because I taught her.
- I taught her to do this. - Is that true?
Aren't I right?
- You're right. - Have a seat.
- The orangutan was good. - This is...
- I taught her to do all that. - This is...
- Can you do an orangutan for us? - I have no limits.
Then why don't you perform together?
Please call everyone.
(Come on, Sae Ho the gorilla!)
(Her acting has improved.)
(Hyeon Gyeong the monkey appears.)
- It's a lie! - Don't do it!
- It's okay. - She'll be fine.
(Animal World Part 2)
(There is a gathering today.)
(Suddenly, )
(Bada the salesman orangutan appears.)
(She forces everyone to buy her album.)
What are you doing?
(You will buy two.)
Sit down.
- Look. - What are you doing?
- What are you doing? - What did I do?
Isn't this the charm of "Happy Together?"
You're promoting your album like this.
(Bada is a genius at product placement.)
I'm trying to make it stand on the table.
- Stop it. - For goodness' sake.
What's wrong with you?
Hyeon Gyeong was good.
They're all in shock.
- She was really funny. - Since she is so pretty,
we were so surprised to see her let everything go.
- We were like, "Don't do that." - "Stop it."
Hyeon Gyeong is our ace.
- She's up for anything. - Is she always like this?
- She's a funny woman. - Would you do it again?
She's doing it.
(She doesn't hesitate.)
(Hyeon Gyeong channels a monkey.)
She deserves to go to the Cannes Film Festival.
- She's that good. - Look!
- She'll do anything. - That was method acting.
She's good enough to go to the Cannes Film Festival.
She's an upcoming variety show ace.
(Let's send Hyeon Gyeong to Cannes!)
(Yoo Jung copies the face discreetly.)
(How did she do that?)
- She's good. - Yoo Jung is trying out the face.
- Oh, my goodness! - I didn't expect that.
- It's quite unexpected. - It will be funnier...
if you roll your tongue inside your mouth to deform your face.
Try it.
(She's good.)
That was good.
(They are brilliant students.)
- How cute! - They're so cute.
Now, let's talk...
to our senior idol guests.
Let's ask them directly.
How popular were you in your group?
- You can tell us now. - That's right.
How popular were you in S.E.S?
Eugene was the most popular member.
- Goodness... - She was the most popular member.
Hit him with the edge!
Hit him with the corner.
- I'll do as I'm told. - It seems like the both of you...
- are not fond of Hyun Moo. - He's annoying, isn't he?
(I'm your nuisance.)
When our music video was first released,
Lee Soo Man summoned me and said,
"Bada,"
"you look like Choi Ji Woo in the music video."
I understand why he said that.
You're talking about the one with fluorescent light in your eyes.
None of my features are visible.
- You're right. - Because of the strong lighting,
we looked indistinguishable.
(She had bright lights in her eyes.)
You look like Choi Ji Woo.
You can see the lighting in her eyes.
I can't see her nose.
They are so pretty.
- Eugene is so pretty. - Indeed.
- Where are your noses? - Don't we look indistinguishable?
We look the same because of the light.
(She dances along.)
(It's a legendary song for the younger generation.)
I had no features but looked like Choi Ji Woo in the music video...
so Soo Man said, "This is brilliant."
"You look the prettiest."
I was young at the time.
I was in 12th grade.
I was so excited. When the music video was released,
I was the most popular, honestly.
I was overwhelmed.
Then, we performed live on television.
(S.E.S performed live for the first time.)
(Big hair tie and antenna-like hair were her trademark.)
All of a sudden,
something unexpected happened.
- What was the public's reaction? - Eugene's popularity increased...
and the fans said, "Where's Bada?"
- "Where's the girl..." - "Where's Choi Ji Woo?"
- "from the music video?" - The Choi Ji Woo look-alike.
"Where's Choi Ji Woo?"
I was there.
- I was there. - And people were looking for you.
They asked if we'd changed members.
There were so many speculations.
Eugene really stood out.
I see you have a distinct preference.
No, I mean...
You can't deceive your own eyes.
All three members were pretty but Eugene stood out.
I'd like to clarify this.
I'm pretty but Eugene's beauty is on a different level.
- That's why I looked ordinary. - You're right.
- I agree. - Eugene is just too pretty.
- You're pretty. - Shoo and I were pretty...
- but Eugene was too beautiful. - Okay, you are pretty.
You can stop now.
- You're pretty! - That's what she wanted to hear.
- Seriously. - That's all she wanted to hear.
I said it because I didn't want to upset my dad if he watches this.
- You're really pretty. - You're beautiful.
Back then, I was cute while Shoo and Eugene were pretty.
(The former idol sums up the members' beauty.)
- But then... - People said Jung A...
was the next Lee Hyo Ri. Didn't you take over one of her programmes?
There was a programme called "Time Machine".
- I became the host after Hyo Ri. - That's right.
I usually wear pajamas when I go to bed.
- Stop imagining it. - Okay.
There was a mobile phone commercial, too.
- She's so pretty. - How pretty!
How old is this clip?
(She filmed another mobile phone commercial.)
That's Soo Young.
- Soo Young of Girls' Generation. - That's Soo Young.
(Music Bank, 2003)
You were also the host of "Music Bank".
- She's pretty. - That's Choi Jung Won.
Choi Jung Won was her partner.
Even the way she holds the microphone is similar to Hyo Ri.
- She is tanned, too. - She was a good host as well.
That's a blast from the past.
I tried my best.
I was so grateful for all the opportunities.
It was a burden for me when they tagged me as "the next Lee Hyo Ri".
I wondered if I could ever live up...
to the sexy, confident and perfect Lee Hyo Ri.
Because of those thoughts, I tried to differentiate myself.
I tried to look for my own strengths.
When someone says you look like someone, just go with it.
(Girls, just go along with it.)
- That's your advice. - That's right.
Don't force yourself to be different.
Don't do that. Just be grateful and go along with it.
It's good advice.
- Take what's offered. - That's right.
Make the most of it while you can.
- She's right. - It's wise advice.
Go along with it if they say you look like someone.
- She is right. - Don't try to deny it.
Jung A, you said you should be in a girl group...
to learn life's lessons.
There are a lot of psychological factors to take into account,
especially when you're in a group of women.
Being in a group allows you to build friendship,
fight and make up.
You'll be the most popular one day, not so much another day.
Sometimes, you'll be upset with each other.
Life comes up with ways to make you feel new emotions.
You'll hit other members and get hit in return.
You're right.
I saw that.
Jung A didn't deny that.
Sometimes, you'll want to hit your members.
- I'll say that much. - Calm down.
- I'll draw the line at that. - She wasn't beaten up.
Earlier, Bada talked about...
three things you shouldn't forget about.
I want to give young idol singers such advice...
because we have first-hand experience.
It will be helpful to hear advice from experienced seniors.
I'm only saying this because it's all in the past.
At the time,
it was on the news that I received 2,000,000 dollars for my contract.
Actually, I signed a 1,000,000-dollar contract.
That's a huge sum for the time.
That's incredible.
- After the S.E.S contract ended, - After it ended,
- you became a solo singer? - I became a solo artist.
- I was immature. - How impressive!
I have advice for these young idol singers.
They'll see a bigger world now, as Hallyu is a global movement.
Your story will help them for sure.
Even if you receive a huge sum of money,
don't buy a supercar like me.
You bought a supercar?
It's so expensive!
I didn't even have a driver's license.
- Why did you buy a car? - What for?
At the time, I was out of touch with reality.
I didn't think about the consequences...
since I had over 1,000,000 dollars sitting in my account.
One day, I got a phone call.
It was from my agency. They said the press found out...
about my supercar and it was going to cause problems.
They said we needed to do something about it.
- Did you sell it back? - I sold it...
What did you do with the car if you couldn't drive?
It sat in my garage for three days.
Looking back, I was so foolish. I wasn't thinking straight.
Now, I realise that I was mad.
Don't you ever do such a thing.
She's giving you a life lesson.
You'll be tested on this later.
- Remember these anecdotes. - There will be a test.
- I'll stop talking. - Bring us three pens for the test.
(Good luck...)
- What I meant was... - They are focused.
This is a common question.
Isn't it upsetting when only a certain member is popular?
In Brown Eyed Girls,
Ga In and Narsha...
appeared in several variety shows.
- They were in a lot of shows. - That's right.
I was grateful.
The amount of money we were earning was about the same...
but while they worked hard, I was travelling abroad.
(Thanks, girls!)
- So... - Narsha must have been upset.
- It was very... - That was a twist.
- I thought you were ill. - Since her tone was serious,
I thought Je A had a hard time but she went travelling.
My agency stopped me from appearing on shows.
- Why? - At first,
they told me to stay quiet since I talk like a middle-aged woman.
It was so upsetting...
that I started to write songs.
Since they won't let me talk even though I'm good at it,
I decided to express my words in a different way.
I wrote "We Fell in Love" for Ga In.
It became a hit, so I made good money from copyright.
It was my heyday.
I bet you used the money to go abroad again.
Exactly.
(I'm sure you understand what I mean.)
That's good!
Let's talk about competition. I.O.I members...
were selected from 101 people.
- That's right. - Here's what I think.
Each member gets a chance on the camera, right?
When they get screen time, the girls must wink...
- or make some gesture. - Because there are so many people.
Since there were so many people, they had to find a way to stand out.
- Yoo Jung, what do you think? - I examined...
my expressions meticulously.
My features aren't very strong.
They aren't very strongly defined...
so I don't stand out when I make subtle expressions.
When I was scolded by instructors...
- for 2NE1's song... - Excuse me.
I think your fringe is getting greasy.
It's getting greasy.
I couldn't help but bring it up.
(Her fringe is getting greasy.)
- I'm beginning to sweat. - I know.
- You are, right? - She must have oily skin.
- Bada, give her your shampoo. - Hurry up.
I want to shampoo her hair right away.
Let's end the shoot before it turns greasier.
(Let's try to end the shoot sooner.)
I examined my facial expressions.
I studied 2NE1 members' facial expressions in nanoseconds...
during their performance of "Can't Nobody".
- You studied their expression. - I practised imitating...
the way they opened and closed their eyes.
We'd like to see the result of your practice.
Please show us.
I can move my eyebrows freely now.
I can do this.
- That was good. - How cute!
- She is good. - Yes.
- It's hard to move your eyebrows. - That's eye-catching.
I became better in making various facial expressions.
- I can do this. - She is so cute.
(You will fall for me.)
How cute! I watched episodes of "Produce 101".
The facial expressions she made in the performances were unexpected.
She looked confident.
Yoo Jung, show us the difference...
when performing with and without those facial expressions.
- Give us an example. - I want to see it.
How would you normally perform?
Dream girl, dream girl.
- She looks simple. - That's how I practise.
- Use facial expressions now. - Dream girl.
(She incorporated facial expressions.)
- Wow. - It's different.
- It's different. - It's definitely different.
- She looks lively. - She made many facial expressions.
Her face changed a lot.
(Her fans would want to keep a video clip of her acting cute.)
Give us a chic look this time.
- Show us. - She transforms completely.
Wait a minute, let me.
Then I'd do this.
(Here comes the facial expression.)
(Lovely and chic)
- She moves her mouth freely. - She is so cute.
She is good.
- Her mouth twisted for a second. - It can be stuck in that position.
She is good.
- She is good. - My goodness.
- Na Young, what is your style? - Well...
(What is Lim Na Young's trick?)
Since there are a lot of members, I want to stand out.
- It's natural to feel that way. - Since I have long limbs,
I make big movements when I dance.
Please show us the dance.
- Please dance together. - Please.
- Let's play the music. - Give us the normal dance first.
- Yes. - Let's see how they normally dance.
Don't use your style just yet.
This is the ordinary version.
(They aren't using their charms.)
This is the ordinary version.
This is nice, too.
- Her face is a bit stony. - You are right.
- That was the ordinary version. - Right.
Now, show us what you do when you want to stand out.
Show us how you do it.
Imagine you are in a competition.
Count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
and 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and turn.
(They dance using their own style to stand out.)
(Lim Na Young)
(Her dance is powerful.)
(Cautious versus powerful)
- Great. - They're good.
- She is cute. - Yes.
They're good.
It's Yoo Jung's turn.
(She performs with a variety of facial expressions.)
(Calm versus lively)
How nice! They're amazing.
It's Chae Yeon's turn.
(Jung Chae Yeon)
- How nice! - Look at Chae Yeon.
- Look at Chae Yeon. - This is amazing.
Look at her hand gestures.
(Use your hands if you want attention.)
Look at her hand gestures.
(They compete for more screen time.)
The competition is fierce.
Their performance is lively.
(We won't lose.)
- How do they dance like that? - Na Young really has long limbs.
(This is the power of I.O.I.)
Yoo Jung went through an array of facial expressions in a second.
The competition wasn't as intense back then, right?
No, it wasn't. People told me...
that I have a nice smile,
so I smiled brightly when the camera was facing me.
Show us what you did.
- Sing "I Really Like You". - All right.
You, I can't tell just yet.
- That's the ordinary version. - That's right.
Let's say the camera is on you.
- You want to stand out. - Then, I'd do this.
One, two, three, four.
You.
(The camera is on Jung A.)
(She is close to breaking her neck.)
- I can't tell just yet - No way!
- No way! - I've seen that face.
- Really? - This is ridiculous.
- Look at her eyes. - I really like you.
- Her eyes are so big. - She is very pretty.
My goodness.
That was great.
- That was way too much. - Her eyes became so big.
Seriously.
(The whites of her eyes looked aggressive.)
It was scary.
Her eyes looked like those of a doll.
- Her eyes are so big. - I know.
- Je A, what about you? - Do you have a trick?
Unlike Jung A, I tried to look angry.
I see. Please show us.
It is important to look haughty during this dance.
- This is the ordinary version. - Now,
use your trick.
(She uses her trick.)
She looks haughty.
Why don't you dance to "L.O.V.E"?
You pronounced it like "Erotic Woman".
- "Erotic Woman"? - "Erotic Woman"?
- It's not "Erotic Woman". - It's "L.O.V.E".
"L.O.V.E".
Please dance to "L.O.V.E".
- Please dance to "L.O.V.E". - This is a very old song.
- This is the simple version. - She is not using her charisma.
I was using it.
- I couldn't tell. - It didn't look like it.
- This is "L.O.V.E". - "L.O.V.E".
- "L.O.V.E". - I need you, I love you.
(Relaxed)
Bada, what about you?
(Did she have a special technique?)
If Shoo wore the earrings I picked for her,
I would dance well.
- It's a jinx. - It would put me on a good mood.
I couldn't dance well if she wore something else.
- It's a jinx. - That's not what I asked.
Her answer came out of nowhere.
- Tell us about your style. - Yes.
- Is there an approach you use? - Didn't you listen to other guests?
- A technique? - Is there a technique you use...
when you are determined to stand out?
Something that has helped you beat Shoo and Eugene.
We never gave a mediocre performance.
- It was always a battle for us. - Show us.
- Show us the battle. - We had to work hard...
as first generation girl group.
(She survived the war of girl groups.)
(She is like the fairy godmother of girl groups.)
(She has never danced half-heartedly.)
(It's the dance of a fairy.)
- This is a bit... - She isn't dancing hard.
- What is that? - She's dancing half-heartedly.
What is that?
For goodness' sake.
It seems like you are not listening to me.
- You danced half-heartedly. - You danced like an old woman.
- That was ridiculous. - This is how you get screen time.
(She's teaching them.)
She is a strange woman.
I'll give it another go. Let's go.
(She'll dance to "I'm Your Girl".)
Play the music louder.
(She becomes a fairy-like idol singer once again.)
That's better.
You are not looking pretty.
- What's wrong with her? - This isn't the S.E.S I remember!
That's enough.
- This isn't the S.E.S I remember! - Seriously.
Reserve your energy. You danced like you were at a gathering.
- It's... - I have a question.
- There's a song called, "Mad". - Yes.
- How did that come about? - "Mad" had a unique energy.
I'm so mad.
(It's a strange intro.)
("Mad" is a song of strange charms that drives listeners mad.)
- You can't air something like that. - Please show us.
It gets intense when I am absorbed in the song.
Really?
- We would like to see it. - Pleas sing "Mad" live.
- I really want to see it. - Do you really want me to do it?
- Yes. - Sing a bit of the song.
This is the plain version.
(It's Bada's normal version of "Mad".)
This is the normal version.
- I like this song. - It's a good song.
(The song ends with...)
We watched the normal version.
- Now... - Let's see the mad version.
- "Mad version"? - Let's see the mad version.
The letter B on your cap must stand for "Bada".
You are mine.
- Here it comes. - Shall I begin?
- Let's go. - Are you ready?
- Yes! - Yes!
(It's a strange intro.)
This is nice.
(Please refrain from watching if you need peace and serenity.)
(Mad)
Get out of my way!
My goodness.
(She's the first generation idol singer.)
(She whips her hair.)
- May I borrow your cap? - She's good.
She is full of energy.
(She borrows the cap.)
(She's full of style.)
What is wrong with her?
(The cap was only an accessory.)
Spin! Spin!
(It's a festival.)
- Spin! - Let's go! Let's go!
Yes!
Do you want to come with me?
- Yes! - Let's go!
(Mad)
What is this?
(She caught it.)
- Was that a bouquet? - What did I do just now?
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
(It's like a bouquet toss.)
(Bada is suddenly calm.)
- "Mad" is something else. - It's wild.
I nearly forgot we were doing a show...
when the intro came out.
I nearly lost it.
The intro was something else.
Even though Yoo Jung was sitting,
- she got really into it. - Really?
- She was good. - Show us, Yoo Jung.
- Go ahead. - Yoo Jung wants to do it.
- We can all do it. - Do you need music?
- Please show us. - Give us the intro.
(She's looking forward to it.)
(They're mad young girls.)
(Come on!)
It's different.
Bada must be happy.
How do they know all the moves? They're amazing.
(They're refreshingly mad.)
Here comes Bada. That's it.
Bada joins in.
(If you want me to join, )
(I'll give it my best.)
There she goes.
(She's in the centre all of a sudden.)
- Hold on. - Excuse me.
- I'm sorry, but what's going on? - Why are you blocking her?
Sorry, but why are you blocking everyone?
- Give them a chance. - I want to stand in the centre!
You're really mad.
- What are you doing? - Sorry, Yoo Jung.
- You can stand here with me. - Yoo Jung kept doing this.
(Who cares about standing in the centre?)
(She's totally engrossed.)
- Bada is a professional. - You said you take care of...
younger singers earlier.
- I wanted to be in the centre. - That's what I'm saying.
Did you see her pushing Yoo Jung?
- She pushed her back. - Yes.
Bada certainly took care of her.
That's how you survive.
- Learn from me. - It's a valuable lesson.
- Learn from me. Did you learn? - It's a valuable lesson.
Do you understand?
Remember the three things I taught you.
Girls would love her.
Potential.
- Potential. - Diversity.
- Longevity. - Longevity.
The amazing thing...
about Bada is...
that she waited until...
- it reached climax to step in. - That's right.
She wanted to be seen.
You have to be passionate.
- That's how you succeed. - This is so funny.
When it comes to costumes or clothes,
do you fight to wear what you want?
Now, you're all dressed alike.
What about when you're in different outfits?
I just wear what I'm given.
- Really? - What does that make us?
- I'm sorry. - Do you care about other things?
Like accessories or manicure?
When it comes to accessories,
- we rush to pick out what we want. - Whoever comes first gets it.
- We grab it. - I see.
Since they recently debuted,
- they're speaking cautiously. - Really?
They can't be that unselfish.
Does that mean you've coveted clothing in the past?
When they brought us clothes,
the sizes were 55 and 66.
- Who was the 66 for? - Our stylist brought them.
- It always came to me. - Size 66?
- Yes. - That's upsetting.
- I was slightly swollen. - Right.
- Everyone has baby fat, right? - That's right.
I look really good in halter tops.
I also look thinner.
- She can finally tell the truth. - The older women...
know exactly what looks best on them.
Confidence and attitude are really important for girl group members.
Attitude?
I wanted to show off my shoulders.
- I found a halter top one day. - You did?
- I tried it on secretly. - I see.
But it ripped while I was trying it on.
- Was it too small? - It didn't fit.
Bada must have been really girly back then.
- We were very opinionated. - Really?
In the beginning,
they made us wear such feminine clothes.
I'm not the flowery type.
I asked for edgier clothes.
We spoke up.
I heard you struggled with wearing leather for "Abracadabra".
We always wore leather in the summer.
- That's awful. - It's the best.
You must have been so sweaty.
There were so many festivals.
- We did so many events. - Outdoors?
It was so hot with the fireworks...
and singing live outdoors.
You must've been sweaty.
It was really tough.
It wasn't even real leather. You know, right?
It can't absorb sweat.
- Fake leather? - It can't absorb sweat.
Right, fake leather.
It smells, too.
- It's not our fault. - The sweat sticks to the clothes.
It was really hard.
Those outfits weren't that bad.
It wasn't bad.
- Narsha's outfit is the worst. - Look at her.
She looks like a reptile.
Narsha's outfits are always like that.
- Je A is wearing a skirt. - Your outfit looks cool.
- Look at Miryo. - Your outfit isn't bad.
(Why didn't she speak up?)
Narsha and Miryo's outfits look uncomfortable.
It must've been tough.
How did you get into and out of those outfits?
- They probably don't come off. - We needed help.
Narsha had to cover one side of her face.
- Goodness. - She was used to it while dancing,
but she lost her balance while walking.
(She lost her balance.)
- She always covered one side. - She was always covered.
She didn't even wear makeup on one eye.
- She didn't? - Really?
It wouldn't show.
You can't see it anyway.
That's hilarious.
Her vision must have gotten bad.
Did the members fight over clothes, Jung A?
I'm tomboyish.
When I saw the others doing makeup or looking in the mirror,
- they looked so pretty. - I see.
In Yeong took five minutes to apply lipstick.
- How is that possible? - Narsha did that, too.
It's possible.
It took her five minutes just to apply lipstick.
I asked her why it took so long.
I just smear it on quickly.
In Yeong was on a show that I saw.
She was talking about messy people in her flat.
She said Jung A brushes her teeth while...
putting on her pants just like a man.
Really?
(Her actions are masculine.)
- I was so curious about that. - I don't even do that.
I asked her about it.
She told me she brushed her teeth while washing her hair.
I brush my teeth while washing and drying my hair.
A guy I know does that, too.
- How do you do that? - Like this.
Just use one hand.
- That's nice. - It really is.
She's cool.
Now I understand the effect of applying lipstick...
- for five minutes. - There's a difference?
There's a difference.
- There is? - It's more thorough.
- The amount of care taken... - That's right.
Really shows up on-screen. It's true.
Wait. You're not paying attention.
Yes, I was.
They're really focusing.
- Really? - You're not paying attention.
Tell us what she just said. They were focusing.
- Good job. - Well done.
- Good job. - You passed.
- How cute. - Competition is fierce in groups.
Perhaps Bada could tell us.
She wanted to look prettier than the other members of S.E.S.
I heard the other members didn't even care.
- Is that true? - That's what I heard.
I was flustered because Shoo and Eugene were so pretty.
- Really? - You have no idea.
There are so many pretty girls lately.
Imagine it.
Back in 1998,
there weren't beauties like Shoo and Eugene. They're both from overseas.
They're exotic and cute.
There weren't pretty girls like that.
I went to Anyang Arts High School.
I had a lot of pretty classmates.
I wasn't intimidated by pretty girls.
When I first met Shoo and Eugene,
they said they came from Guam and Japan.
They were so pretty. I'd never seen...
girls like that in Korea.
I had to perform with them.
So, I had no choice but to feed them carbohydrates.
You did?
I tried to lose weight,
but I couldn't lose my baby fat.
- You made them gain weight. - I was...
- a high school senior. - It's hard for her to lose weight.
She made them gain weight instead.
I wanted us to meet somewhere in the middle.
It was a compromise.
- They gained while I lost weight. - I see.
- Goodness. - While that was going on,
Shoo almost figured out what I was up to.
I think she almost found out about my intention.
(Why does she keep feeding me?)
While doing that,
you got acupressure massages in Cheongdamdong.
- Did you get acupressure massages? - Is this true?
At the time, there was this...
famous face-slimming massage.
Using acupressure?
A face-slimming massage?
- It really hurts. - At the time, there was...
only one person who could do it.
She's in Los Angeles now.
- No one can see her now. - I see.
- She has the magic touch. - Yes.
I was one of the last...
people who received the massage.
- You fed the members carbohydrates. - I fed them a lot...
- And you got massages. - That's right.
We had to meet in the middle.
- Did you meet in the middle? - Pardon?
- Did you meet in the middle? - Yes, we did.
While working in Japan,
I lost weight...
because of nostalgia. I was homesick.
Why did you have to say in English?
- She uses a lot of English. - Don't ask me how to spell it.
- She mentioned about "attitude". - I'll be in big trouble if you do.
I heard this from Moon Hee Jun.
When H.O.T. was at the peak of popularity,
they went to MBC to use the restroom...
- if they were working at KBS. - Right.
- Oh! - That's true.
- Well... - They didn't want to be seen.
Idols like H.O.T...
- had an air of mystery. - It was because of Hee Jun.
Right.
For three years, I never drank water when there was a crowd.
- Why not? - If I drank water...
- She might need to use the loo. - Right. So I didn't drink.
- That must've been tough. - The loo was one thing.
- What about fart? - That's impossible.
- Did you try to hold it? - That's not me.
It was never me.
- What if you get caught? - Did you tell them it wasn't you?
I told them it wasn't me.
Did you pass gas and look at someone else then?
"You must have a stomachache."
- Did you blame others? - That's incredible.
- While spending time together, - That's incredible.
Shoo and Eugene must have been able to tell.
- It might smell. - For example, in the car.
- Did you still deny it? - Thankfully,
our manager was always there.
We blamed it on him.
"Did you eat eggs?"
"You must've eaten eggs."
- You asked if he ate eggs? - Yes.
What about you, Jung A?
Did you admit it since you're a tomboy?
Did you admit it was you?
I think I just apologised.
- You apologised? - If I was with the group,
I would apologise before passing gas.
(Apologises in advance)
- Like this. - You gave warning.
"Sorry."
Does I.O.I use the restroom together?
- Yes, we do. - Yes, we do.
Really? What about gas?
- I don't fart in front of others. - Why not?
I don't even pass gas with my family.
- Really? - She must be shy.
Not even your family?
- That suits her image. - Well...
I don't want to get caught.
Be careful when you're sleeping.
I think I pass gas unconsciously while sleeping.
- Right? - I think so.
It's over when you hear it.
(It's a stinky alarm.)
- It's unconscious. - Well...
What do you do when you have really bad gas?
What if it's driving you crazy?
- I hold it no matter what. - No matter what?
I pass gas on the inside.
That's true.
- I pass gas on the inside. - That's true.
(She passes gas inwardly.)
- It's an inward fart. - Right.
I know exactly what you mean.
- We know. - While filming today,
I already passed gas inwardly twice.
It gathers on the inside.
When I'm alone later on,
- it comes out at once. - That's right.
- This is hilarious. - She is honest.
Chae Yeon passes gas on the inside.
("Inward gas" will show up on search results.)
Now I understand what it is.
- She's amazing. - Yes.
- She is. - It's amazing.
While working together for 10 years,
I've never heard Jae Seok pass gas.
- Myung Soo does it often. - Yes.
Mine gets mixed together.
(His skills are top-notch as expected.)
They get mixed in.
This is so funny.
- Mine doesn't sound. - You're a genius.
When everyone is reeling from the smell of Myung Soo's gas,
I mix my gas in quietly. That's what I do.
- It already smells. - Yes.
- That's incredible. - That's what I do.
You should learn from the younger girls.
- About what? - I.O.I is known for their cuteness.
Je A doesn't do that. Teach her something.
- Let's learn from them. - I'll follow along.
- You've taught them until now. - I'll follow them.
- My goodness. - Since you've taught them a lot,
it's their turn to teach you.
- Let's learn from them. - How do you do it?
First, clench your fists like this.
You're talking to your older brother.
Call his name like this.
(What?)
- That was cute. - It's okay.
Even your hair is cute.
- Her hair is messed up. - That was so cute.
- She's so cute. - Let's give it another go.
"Why is the house so messy?"
"I'll get in trouble from Mum, too."
How cute.
(She's pouting.)
How cute.
- She's so cute. - That was cute.
Take turns trying it.
"Why is the house so messy?"
It's your fault!
- It's because of you! - What's wrong with you?
- I know! - What's wrong with you?
- Can I change it? - Of course.
Go ahead.
"Why is the house so messy?"
"I'll get in trouble with Mum."
(She growls.)
(Unexpected)
That was cute, too.
- That's great. - It's cute.
- That was cute, Jung A. - Yes.
- That was scary. - Hyeon Gyeong is good, too.
- Here it comes. - She's good at children's voices.
I'll try.
(She tries it out.)
Can you pronounce properly?
(She clenches her fists.)
- "Oh, my. What is this?" - Goodness.
"I'll get in trouble with Mum."
- Her tongue is frozen. - Speak!
Have you given up on your career?
She makes my stomach hurt.
Yoo Jung, try speaking with a lisp like Hyeon Gyeong.
- Can the Sad-faced Sisters do it? - Na Young can do it, too.
Na Young is known for her cuteness.
She's so cute.
- Their feet look like ears of corn. - Hyeon Gyeong,
what are you teaching her?
- Do this. - You have something on your mouth.
What is it?
(I'll wipe it if you insist.)
- She's like a man. - Don't do that.
She's like a man.
- She's so cute. - What's the line?
"I'll get in trouble with Mum."
All right.
- Try it, Na Young. - Gosh.
Open your mouth like this.
"Hyeon Gyeong, I'll get in trouble with Mum."
(She ends by wiping her mouth.)
- That was weird. - That was so cute.
That was cute. Je A, you try it.
Try it.
Goodness.
- Bada. - Try it, Bada.
I don't think it'll suit me.
(It suits her the best.)
- They're formidable. - Yes.
They're formidable. Can you do something, Chae Yeon?
- This is so funny. - Can you?
- I will say, "I had a nightmare." - That's great.
"I had a nightmare."
That was so cute.
Myung Soo just went, "How cute."
- "I had a nightmare." - How cute.
That was good.
- Try it, Bada. - Go ahead.
"I had a nightmare."
What did you say?
A nightmare.
Did you say, "defector"?
I said, "nightmare".
Did you come from North Korea?
"I successfully defected."
She successfully defected.
"I love South Korea."
"I love South Korea." That's so funny.
- She loves South Korea? - That's understandable.
She could dream of defecting.
- They all dream of defecting. - That's possible.
Don't idols secretly have...
- relationships? - That's right.
Has it changed from the past?
- How is it? - Even if it's not about yourself.
- Can you tell us? - What have you heard?
They've frozen at this topic.
- Yes. - They're wondering what to say.
- They're acting like robots. - Do you have boyfriends?
Of course not.
Why do you say it like that?
That makes it weirder.
Why did she say, "Of course not"?
They're really busy.
When I asked earlier,
- they'd been working non-stop. - I see.
You didn't date because you were busy?
No, I didn't.
- You don't have a boyfriend? - I do since I'm not busy.
- You do? - Yes.
- Can you say it? - It's been known for a while.
It was on the news.
I'm glad everyone forgot.
Really? Are you glad?
Our agency wanted us to have boyfriends.
We debuted when we were 26 years old.
You were encouraged?
We weren't pretty and girly idol singers.
That's true.
You're too busy to date, right?
- I'm sure they get hit on. - I know.
- I think so. - She smiled.
- Who is it? - If someone reaches out...
- Who is it? - Someone called Chae Yeon.
It's happened before, right?
Well... I got a call before.
- From a singer? - There was a singer.
- Actor? - It's happened a few times.
- She's pretty. - For now,
- work comes first. - Right.
Were you interested in any of them?
It's possible.
I'm a fan of some of them.
- Did they call you? - That's amazing.
- You were a fan. - What happened?
I refused them all.
- Oh, no. - She's so resolute.
- That's amazing. - Work comes first.
- What about the others? - This is interesting.
- Yoo Jung? - No one called me.
- Never? - It really never happened.
- No? - Never.
- That's not what I heard. - Na Young looked...
really surprised earlier.
- Really? - That's not possible.
- She might not know. - People might have blocked it.
She might not know.
When you closely watch the...
"Idol Star Athletics Championship",
- Can you tell? - you can totally tell.
What do you see?
There are girls that surround...
- a particular idol singer. - Right.
You can tell who's flirting.
Idols who have dated a lot of girls have a hard time...
at the competition.
- It'll be awkward. - Exactly.
- They'll meet ex-girlfriends. - Right.
When I was the MC on "Music Bank",
- I could see... - It's easy to spot.
There's a stage...
and there are two different doors leading to the stage.
It's a square-shaped building.
Let's say Sae Ho's standing here.
While passing by,
I casually pass him a note.
- Like this. - Oh!
(It's like a secret mission.)
- A note? - Yes.
- Wow. - It's very quiet.
They pass notes quietly.
- That must be so cute. - It sounds fun.
It wasn't me.
I was dating my husband.
- No one said anything. - All right.
That's weirder.
I heard you were the love messenger for S.E.S.
Did you use your cell phone?
I had a cell phone because I was the group leader.
- You were the only one? - Yes.
I received calls from really famous men.
I was surprised when he called.
He said, "Is this Bada?"
My heart fluttered when he said my name.
- I felt so good... - You answered his call.
But then he said, "Can I please talk to Eugene?"
I wonder who that was.
- Saying his name may shock people. - I think so.
Was he a singer?
- There was a singer, too. - Are you starting to investigate?
He's trying to find out.
- Is he a singer or an actor? - It was a long time ago.
You can tell us now then.
- An industrial spy? - He could be a singer or an actor.
Excuse me. I heard someone had asked you to meet him...
in front of a vending machine.
- I heard that story, too. - What really happened?
He called me during a music show rehearsal.
He said, "Hi, Bada. It's me."
"Could you please bring Eugene to the vending machine?"
So I took her there.
- Why did I have to do that? - You were like her manager.
I even spent my own money.
I bought them drinks from the vending machine.
(She spent her time and money.)
I said to myself, "Just pick a drink quickly."
He showed up when she was about to pick her drink.
Out of all the drinks, she chose an ion supply drink...
which reminds men of an innocent girl.
(Eugene was born to be innocent.)
She made it harder for me to stand it.
Hyeon Gyeong, many male celebrities ask you out, right?
- No, not at all. - That's good.
I advised her not to meet the guys...
- and focus on her career for now. - He said that to me.
- No one asks her out now. - That's right.
No one will if they see her imitate an orangutan.
You never know. There could be someone who likes it.
- A comedian might call her. - Yes.
My fellow comedians asked me about her as well.
They said she could be a great comedienne.
Speaking of which,
- comedians like her very much. - That's right.
The Comedians Association is interested in recruiting her.
- Let's give people a good laugh. - You will receive a call from...
- the president of the association. - That's right.
A wide range of experience will be helpful for your acting career.
- Please consider it positively. - Okay.
- You might get a call soon. - Right.
I think this can be a good chance for you to talk to each other.
You must have things to say to your junior singers.
- Why do they wear rings? - Couples wear matching rings.
- I don't understand why they do it. - I think they want to show off.
They also wear really expensive bracelets.
- Couples do that. - "This bracelet is in trend."
"I saw her wearing it." "Really? I also saw him wearing it."
It's obvious that they're a couple. I don't understand.
It could hurt their fans' feelings.
- Can I say something serious? - Of course.
You can be serious now.
In my opinion, the nature of a girl group is...
what brings people happiness.
When I made my debut in the 1990s,
Koreans finally became happy since the Seoul Olympics.
Everyone could eat white rice...
and every household owned a colour TV.
White rice?
(It's a long time ago.)
That's when the healthy diet campaign was over.
- I don't think they can understand. - What is she talking about?
- People couldn't afford meat. - They don't prefer white rice now.
I'm sure they'll learn what the spring poverty period is.
- You don't even know what it is. - I know what it is.
- My generation learned about it. - Please go on.
Korea became prosperous after the New Community Movement.
Now, it's time to achieve happiness.
We have to bring happiness to all the people in the country.
Stop giggling. I'm serious.
- Stop it. - Okay.
- What's wrong with you? - I'm sorry.
Your job is not just about singing and dancing on stage.
You can make people joyful.
I hope you don't just consider it as a job or as your goal.
I hope you realise that you can give people strength and courage.
Your song can make someone happy on his or her way to work.
The sense of responsibility can make you happy, too.
I hope you all feel happy about it.
(She hopes they will be happy.)
- It was very touching. - Right.
It's a good remark.
- Thank you. - Bada gave us a good advice.
How about the three of you? What are your dreams and plans?
Yoo Jung, please tell us.
If we hadn't joined the contest...
and become I.O.I members,
we wouldn't be here to meet all of you.
We wouldn't even be in the studio.
I'm happy and grateful but at the same time,
I'm very worried.
When our contract is over and I get back to training,
I'm afraid I might feel empty and people might forget me.
I want to hug her.
I'm really worried, so I hope to stay positive...
while preparing for the next step.
You can do it.
- Don't worry. - Yoo Jung, you can do it.
- We won't forget you. - You can do it.
- We will never forget you. - That's right.
- She must have a mixed feeling. - She's getting emotional.
- She's happy and worried. - She must be pressured.
As the leader of the group, may I ask something?
- Please go ahead. - She's adorable.
Since I'm the leader...
and the oldest member of the group,
I think no one might take care of me.
- How can I overcome the loneliness? - I feel sorry for her.
All of them were leaders.
They must know the difficulties of being a leader.
- A leader can be lonely. - That's right.
- I'm the youngest in the family. - So am I.
Oh! Since I'm the youngest,
I was under a lot of pressure to be the leader of my group.
It was hard for me to act like an eldest child.
I often asked my senior singers for advice.
You can help her out as what your senior singer did.
- Anytime. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Hyeon Gyeong will also help you.
- They're like sisters. - That's right.
Hyeon Gyeong and Bada will guide you well.
Whenever you need my advice,
- you can count on me. - Thank you.
Jung A, please give her some advice.
Girl group singers tend to hide their true feelings...
rather than showing their emotions.
- It's better to cry like her. - She's honest.
- It's okay that you cried. - If you keep...
forcing yourself to stay cheerful just because you're the leader,
the stress will fester inside of you.
- That's right. - Exactly.
- When I see them like that... - It's worse than holding a fart.
It's really bad.
Keeping the stress inside must be bad for your emotional health.
I used to cry alone after I said something harsh...
to my group members. It was too much for me.
At some point, I thought I couldn't go on like that.
I told them I would leave the group and walked out of the room.
Ga In came up to me. This might sound silly.
She found a phrase from the newspaper.
- Like a quote? - She tore the part with her hands.
She put it in my pocket and left.
- What did it say? - I think I might cry.
It said, "One missing instrument can ruin the harmony."
They remind me of my group and it makes me emotional.
I was so young back then. I was only 19.
Oh, I see.
Thanks to Ga In, since then,
I didn't feel that I was alone.
- You were very young. - I see.
When I was having a hard time,
it was my group that kept me going.
I had already lost all my energy and strength to go on,
but we kept on releasing new albums.
- I felt like I was being dragged. - I see.
I kept going on like that but as time went by,
I got through the hard times.
Others thought I was on bad terms with my group members.
They would accuse me of doing something I didn't do.
- It's normal we argue sometimes. - Absolutely.
- Even siblings fight all the time. - That's right.
There are good days and bad days.
We repeatedly argued and reconciled.
We learned a lot from it.
Chae Yeon, think about a fart. Don't cry.
(Think about a fart.)
(Chae Yeon stops crying.)
Don't cry.
You held in farts many times today, right?
Be careful. It might burst.
- Be careful. - You held in farts and burps?
That's right.
We're grateful to the three senior singers for being here.
We also hope the three newcomers...
will be loved more in the future. Let's give them a big hand.
- We support you. - Go for it.
- Go for it. - Give me a high five.
- You can do it. - We can do it.
- You can do it. - Are you a therapist?
You could've waited until we've finished recording.
- They will perform together now. - That's right.
Give them a round of applause.
(How will their performance turn out?)
("Pick Me" by I.O.I)
(They dance to the song, too.)
That's good.
(So Mi and Evelyn did the dance as well.)
(It's ultimate version of the "Pick Me".)
(The senior singers are practising the choreography.)
(As the members of the legendary girl groups, )
(they learned the choreography in an instant!)
(They're now ready.)
This is a one-day girl group who will debut today...
- and retire after this performance. - There's no girl group like that.
Here they are.
The experienced singers meet newcomers.
- They break up in two hours. - Yes.
Please welcome SJB I.O.I! They'll perform "Pick Me"!
(SJB I.O.I's version of "Pick Me")
(The charismatic girls show up!)
(This dance move reminds us of her song "Mad".)
Let's join them.
(It's like a festival.)
(Everyone is excited.)
(Let's dance together.)
(They're all lost in dancing.)
(Myung Soo, Bada, Jae Seok and everyone else are having fun.)
("Flower" by Bada featuring Kanto)
(Happy Together)
