It's always better when we're together, Happy Together!
- Hello, everyone! - Hello!
(Happy Together, the laughing virus on Thursday nights)
- That was good. - Yes.
Do you know what rehabilitation means? We use this word sometimes.
It means to start a new life.
- In other words... - It means to rectify yourself...
- and move on to a righteous life. - So it means...
- you have done something... - That's right.
- It means you've made a mistake. - That's right.
- Indeed. - Hyeon Gyeong, what do you think?
Is there anyone among us who needs rehabilitation?
I think it would be nice if Myung Soo rehabilitates himself.
- Why? - Why me?
I wish he'd be reborn.
- Do you think so? - He can't live right in this life?
Okay. I'll rehabilitate myself when I have a chance.
- Someone is here. Okay. - They're here.
- All right. - Hello. Welcome.
- He said we should be careful. - My goodness!
- Wow. - What a surprise!
- It's Sang Min! - Now I understand...
- why the theme is "Rehabilitation". - I can't believe he's with us.
- He's on a public network. - Sang Min is here.
Is it okay for you to be on a public network?
- Yes. - Are you sure?
- It's nice to meet you. - Hyo Seong is here, too.
- Ji Ae is here, as well. - Welcome.
- I can't believe she is here. - I'm here.
I can't believe this.
- Hi, Su Geun. - Hello.
- You're back already? - Hold on a second.
- You're back already? - I'm glad to see you again.
- By the way... - Wait.
This isn't your seat.
(Su Geun sits in Hyun Moo's seat.)
- Don't do that. - He's funny.
- I was targeting the weak spot. - Don't do that.
- He's a funny guy. - I'm relieved it wasn't my seat.
- I'm so... - I feel relieved to be with him.
I'm so happy to see them again.
I'm happy to see you again. Please welcome our today's guests.
(It's nice to meet you.)
- It's good to have you here. - We have...
- seen them on the news often. - That's right.
It's good to see them on a variety show.
- Su Geun, go ahead. - Announcers still startle me.
She might have covered my case.
No way.
(Lee Su Geun has been...)
I hear that the manager of...
- Sang Min or Su Geun said this. - What?
- He looked at today's guest list. - Yes.
And he asked, "What have Hyo Seong and Ji Ae..."
"done wrong to be here?"
(The manager was surprised.)
- Is it because of them? - Right.
- Have you done something wrong? - No.
I heard that today's theme is "Renewed Mind Special".
- I liked the meaning of the theme. - Our staff lied to you.
- It turns out that it is changed. - Rehabilitation can also mean...
- a renewed mind. - That's right.
That's right.
- Let's introduce our viewers to... - I heard...
- the guests. - I heard it's about glory days.
- Pardon? - Glory days.
- Oh, glory days?
- Yes. - You're wrong. Go home.
We'll have different stories today.
- It's a comprehensive theme. - It'll be spectacular.
Today's theme is "Rehabilitation Project".
Sang Min, how did you think about this theme?
- Is it okay to talk about it? - Of course.
- I'm living every day... - I'm sorry to interrupt.
But you were talking with your hands together.
You're even wearing bracelets on both of your wrists.
- It reminds me of something sad. - Look at him.
- You can take this off. - Please take one off.
- Take one off now. - Wear both on the same wrist.
Why are you wearing a bracelet on both of you hands?
It makes you look so sad.
- Okay. - Don't wear them on both wrists.
- I'm glad I noticed it. - Are you traumatised?
- No. - I would like to say...
- this isn't an expensive bracelet. - I see.
- People might misunderstand him. - Right.
He gave me one and it's just made of metal.
- It is? - Yes, he might have skin problem.
- How did you feel, Sang Min? - Sit straight and be confident.
He has been successful...
- on cable networks for few years. - That's right.
- He's as popular as Jae Seok. - Exactly. He's very successful.
But we haven't seen him on public networks for a long time.
I'm so excited to be with him here today.
Hyeon Gyeong, I guess you haven't been on a TV show with him.
- You know who Sang Min is, right? - Do you know him?
Of course. He's a Roo'Ra member.
- Oh, do you know him? - Yes, I do.
- I'm a big fan of him. - Sang Min looks so happy.
He created the famous crying rap style.
- That's right. - Oh, right.
It's his signature rap style.
He still has the same voice.
- He's still charismatic. - Could you show us a bit?
- Please show us. - It's been a long time.
Please show us your rap.
(His high speed crying rap was popular 20 years ago.)
- It might be... - Don't beg me to take you back.
Just go ahead and leave me
I sense you watching me all the time.
It's all over Never come back.
- Wow. - He's amazing.
- He's good. - It's an old-fashioned style.
She says it's an old-fashioned style.
That's so funny.
She criticises more easily than before.
He tried so hard that his face turned red,
but she embarrassed him immediately.
- You didn't hear him, did you? - What do you mean?
You didn't hear him gasping for air while he was rapping, right?
He used to finish it in one breath.
(He gasps.)
(He gasps again.)
(He might have needed an ambulance.)
You should exercise for your health.
- He needs to work out. - It was great.
Shouldn't we welcome him back?
That's right. Welcome back, Sang Min!
(Welcome back, Sang Min!)
Thank you for waiting so long.
Su Geun, how did you feel when you heard of today's theme?
- I thought I should be here. - You should.
When you try to refresh your mind,
you will eventually need to see Jae Seok.
You have to see him...
to refresh your mind and start over again.
He's a moral education teacher...
and a public prosecutions director for entertainers.
- What are you talking about? - That's right.
Why am I a director of public prosecutions?
Meeting him is the final step of the refreshing process.
- I feel... - Which one is Jae Seok's coffee?
- Do you want a sip of it? - Is it like holy water to you?
That's a good idea. You should drink this.
Sang Min, you drink first.
- Have a sip. - That's Hyun Moo's coffee.
(He's here to be reborn.)
(Hopefully, this will help him purify his mind.)
- Have a sip first. - That's Hyun Moo's coffee.
Hyun Moo was drinking that.
(It turns out to be polluted water, not holy water.)
I guess it will be hard for him to rehabilitate this year, too.
- It won't be easy. - You'll get a lot of criticisms.
It's also good to see Su Geun again.
He used to be one of the hosts of Happy Together,
but he joined "One Night Two Days" and became very popular.
My very first variety show was...
Happy Together.
- He was called "Class President". - Jae Seok was the first person...
- He was called "Class President". - I have worked with...
on a variety show when I was doing my popular comedy skit.
Back then, it was hard for comedians to host a variety show.
- That's true. - Right.
I hosted Happy Together with Lee Hyo Ri...
- and Jae Seok. - That's right.
Su Geun and Happy Together...
- have a close connection. - That's right.
- Class President. - Yes?
You haven't done research for a while.
- Did you do it this time? - Yes, I did.
Tonight...
You imitated Yoon Jeong Soo, right?
(Jae Seok helped Su Geun when he was embarrassed.)
- Didn't you? - As I came here on Happy Together,
it feels like I'm starting over again. Thank you for inviting me.
- Start anew as if you're a rookie. - Yes.
- And you'll make your way up again. - It sounds like a closing line.
(It sounds like a closing line.)
It was like a closing line for a news show.
We'll look forward to your successful future.
This show hasn't changed at all.
- I'm baffled. - Anyway, Su Geun is...
back on public network...
through Happy Together. Let's congratulate him.
- Welcome back, Su Geun! - Welcome back!
When I decided to appear on this show,
- I came here thinking that... - I understand.
- I could be here more often. - He wants to be a host.
(He's here for a reason.)
You should always be ambitious.
Ji Ae and Hyo Seong are here as guests.
However, hosting a variety show is my job.
So I think I can replace the host of the show I appear on as a guest.
Do you have someone particular in your mind?
- Yes, you. - Me?
- You're my target. - Me?
How about him?
Why does it have to be me?
Sae Ho looks a bit like Su Geun.
He's my close friend.
- He startled me. - Today,
Ji Ae is also here with us. Welcome.
- It's been a long time. - Exactly.
- We haven't seen you on KBS before. - That's right.
- Right? - My goodness.
I'm so excited to be here. But to be honest,
I can't relate to the theme "Rehabilitation" or whatever.
She just said, "or whatever".
- Announcers don't talk like that. - It was rude.
It might be on a news article.
- I don't relate to the theme. - I see.
I have been a freelance announcer for about four years.
I have been having a good time.
- I gained weight, too. - I see.
- Did you really gain weight? - Yes, I did. I'm happy to be here.
You're saying that you don't mind whatever we talk about today.
Yes. I wouldn't mind being here with Su Geun or Tak Jae Hoon.
Why did you talk about him?
Jae Hoon is similar to Su Geun.
- They're... - That's not true.
- They're similar to each other. - Please don't compare me to him.
- Sorry... - It hurts my feelings.
Don't worry. You'll have a chance to explain everything.
That's the only thing Su Geun can't accept.
- Right. - Ji Ae seems...
quite different from how she used to be.
- Exactly. - Is that so?
- She used to be quiet and modest. - Right.
Now, she's crossing her legs.
- She seems very relaxed. - It's...
- I used to be close to her. - That's right.
You two used to host a radio show together.
- I worked with him for a long time. - We worked together.
- Right? - We worked together.
He benefited from me.
- Is that true? - Yes, we had good chemistry.
Our show was very popular.
It's true, but why did you hit me?
She kept hitting me while talking.
- She's feisty. - Indeed.
- She wasn't like that before. - All right.
- Ji Ae is here with us today. - Right.
Let's welcome Hyo Seong, a singer known for her filial love.
- I thought that was Hyun Sook - Well...
Hyo Seong, how did you feel about today's theme?
I was baffled. When I talked to the scriptwriter on the phone,
I was told that I was going to talk about my glory days.
So I told her about the time I was very popular.
But a news article said that the theme will be "Revival Special".
My fans got so excited when they read the article.
- Why? - They thought it's about my looks.
Oh, I see.
- I see. - I thought the same thing.
- While you're here, please stay. - Okay.
- That was funny. - While you're here, please stay.
- Of course, she'll stay. - That's right.
Good.
Hyo Seong said that she looks the most beautiful now in her life.
- She's in her prime. - She's proud of...
her looks.
Since I released my solo album,
I've been paying more attention on my makeup.
I've also been going to the skincare therapist a lot.
Since I released my new album,
people around me... It didn't happen a lot before.
- My female celebrity friends... - Yes.
Keep asking me about the skincare spa I go to.
They ask me what I do to take care of my skin.
A lot of people asked me that.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I used to hear from guys that I look prettier than before.
This time, many women are reacting the same.
- I thought I look better. - It makes you feel good.
I felt so good.
You gain and lose weight because of your fans.
- What does that mean? - Honestly,
there was a time when I was plump.
There were many harsh comments...
on news articles about my pictures.
"Who is that short, chubby girl?"
"She has thick thighs like a football player."
"How can she be an idol singer with that body?"
There were comments like those.
I told myself to lose weight.
- I lost some weight. But then... - What happened then?
People said, "I hate that you lost weight."
- "Why did you lose weight?" - Some men...
I didn't know what they wanted.
I was baffled and shocked.
In most cases, fans compliment when an idol singer becomes thinner.
However, my fans said...
things like "I'll let you go now."
Some of my friends who are fans of Hyo Seong's...
were sad when she lost weight.
Why?
It's inappropriate to say that here.
Why did you say that?
- Gosh. - It's true.
- They were sad about it. - Hyo Seong is...
- the icon of healthy beauty. - Right.
- That's right. - Sang Min,
- you host a lot of TV shows lately. - Yes.
- How many TV shows do you host? - I'm curious.
Sometimes, I host 6 or 7 TV shows.
I host four in average.
- He's very busy. - You don't even have a day off.
I feel better when I'm busy working.
When I'm not working, I have a lot going on in my mind.
It makes me anxious, so...
I try to accept any offers I get.
Some people say that you seem to work hard to show to someone.
I have to show my creditors that I'm working hard.
- I want them to know that. - I understand.
- The creditors won't urge you. - It's because...
They do urge me, but more importantly,
the interest gets bigger than the principal...
because I have very old debts.
I should show them I'm working hard so I can ask for some deduction...
and pay my debts.
May I ask if you still have much to pay?
- Yes, I have a lot to pay. - Still?
It's so much that he won't be able to pay it before he dies.
- Really? - Yes.
I heard you're into shopping at cheap online shopping.
That's right. I'm into shopping online.
- Is that so? - I lose track of time.
I bought these trousers for only 7 dollars and 80 cents.
- That's a good deal. - Indeed.
- They're waterproof trousers. - They look nice on you.
- It's a good deal. - It was 18 dollars at first.
If you look at these...
- In the beginning. - Really?
So I started looking for other price tags.
The same product was sold for 18 dollars at the first shop.
- It was cheaper at another shop. - That's right.
- I got a coupon as well. - I see.
I kept looking for other online shops.
There's a shipping fee if I buy just one pair.
- So I bought another pair. - I see.
I got a four-dollar coupon.
In the end, I bought 2 pairs for only 16 dollars.
- That's very cheap. - These socks are 90 cents per pair.
- You should buy at least two pairs. - I see.
The shipping fee is 2 dollars and 70 cents.
You don't pay for it if you spend over 9 dollars and 80 cents.
You have to buy 10 pairs as it's 2 dollars and 50 cents for 2 pairs.
- It was twice as expensive before. - It's like you are selling socks.
- "It's 2 dollars and 50 cents..." - Are you here to sell socks?
- It was funny. - As I was listening to you...
When you were a popular singer,
- you didn't shop online like that. - Right.
Where did you shop before?
Back then, I didn't go shopping myself.
I would have someone do that for me.
I'm embarrassed to say this, but it's all in the past now.
I would spend 20,000 dollars on shopping in a day.
You probably bought all the products in a store.
That's right. I gave my staff 20,000 dollars to buy my clothes.
They would buy a 4,000-dollar suit...
and a pair of jeans for hundreds of dollars...
so I can wear them.
Talking about the old days only makes you sad.
He used to wear high-end clothes only.
How much do you spend a month lately?
I spend about 1,000 dollars a month.
You're spending too much.
- That's not true. - Is that too much?
The legal minimum cost of living is 1,500 dollars.
Even though they distrain all that I had,
I'm allowed to spend 1,500 dollars a month.
- Okay. - I understand.
But I spend only 1,000 dollars.
- I spend less than 500 dollars. - You're very frugal.
- Your creditors must understand. - We didn't...
mean to talk only about their hardships.
- That's right. - That's not why they're here.
But as we went on...
- His story was inspiring. - Not only Sang Min...
but also Su Geun is very busy lately.
No, that's not true.
- Isn't it true? - No, I host a TV show on KBS...
- You host a TV show. - "Neighbourhood Superstar"...
where I travel across the country.
What do you do in your free time?
I spend a lot of time with my children.
I wasn't a good dad because I was too busy.
I'm trying to be a good dad now.
- They grew up well. - I attended their school events.
- Mostly, I spend time with them. - His children must be happy.
Did you do the same when you were taking a break?
I couldn't show up at school during that period because...
- I shouldn't startle the teachers. - Right.
- That's right. - They would have kept...
- the children somewhere else. - They'd be flustered.
They wouldn't have known what to do.
- Tell us what happened. - I went to my son's kindergarten.
The principal was startled to see me while organising the shoes.
She used to seem very glad to see me,
- but she was startled then. - I see.
Did you stay at home during the break?
- Many reporters came to see. - I see.
- Really? - They wanted to cover...
- how I was doing. - Really?
One time, I was really startled.
I was on my way home after helping my friend's work.
I was carrying a black plastic bag with some cookies in it.
What was worse, I was carrying a plastic bag from a store.
I was wearing a sweat suit and hadn't shaved.
- I was wearing a cap, too. - You must have looked terrible.
At the moment I was turning into the alley to my house,
the lighting was turned on,
and a female writer showed up.
- Then a cameraman followed her. - Oh, no.
- I thought it was a prank. - I see.
They said that they were from an entertainment news programme.
Staying at home was uncomfortable because reporters came there, too.
- I understand. - My own home felt uncomfortable,
so I went to the countryside to avoid people.
- I spent much time in Yangpyeong... - Was it a one-day trip?
And in Ganghwa Island where my parents-in-law live.
One day, Ho Dong called me.
He said he was in front of my house, and I went out to see him.
He took me to Gangwon Province.
He had booked accommodation that we visited on "One Night Two Days".
- We drank together that night. - Right.
He cheered me up and gave me advice.
I can't forget that.
- Myung Soo... - He called you, too.
He also called me.
He called me twice in a short time.
On his first call, he said he meant to call someone else.
- Really? - My goodness.
- How could you do that to him? - Why did it have to be him?
- Seriously, - I can't believe him.
Why did you do that to him when he was going through a hard time?
But he called me back shortly.
He called me back and cheered me up.
That's just because he was sorry for his mistake.
- He must have felt guilty. - How could you?
How could you do that to him?
Whom did you mean to call?
Sometimes, my phone makes a call by itself.
It dials random numbers.
- That happens sometimes. - Right.
- He called me by mistake, too. - You touch the button accidentally.
I picked up the phone, and he said, "Hi. Why did you call me?"
I said he was the one who called me, and he said, "That doesn't matter!"
Then he hung up.
- My phone malfunctions sometimes. - That's hilarious.
Oh, that's how it happened.
So I ended up dialling Su Geun's number,
but I couldn't end the call.
I was like, "Hello? Hey, Su Geun."
- The button didn't work. - No, it didn't.
I kept pressing the button, but it didn't work.
He touched the "call" button when he wasn't prepared to talk.
- Su Geun answered so quickly. - I see.
He answered at the 2nd ring.
It's because I'm always holding my phone.
My phone is always with me.
As their colleague, I'm so glad that we can now talk...
and laugh about these things with Su Geun and Sang Min.
- I agree. - It makes me happy.
- It may be a little early, though. - You're grateful for Ho Dong,
but I heard that you give him a hard time these days.
He's lost his enthusiasm.
He doesn't have that energy he used to exude in the past.
I sometimes look at him and think,
"I could beat him if I attack him now."
(Can Su Geun beat this man of strength?)
- He has almost turned into a girl. - I agree.
- You should call him often. - Okay.
- He must love talking to Jae Seok. - Really?
He said, "I talk to him on the phone yesterday."
We last spoke on the phone three weeks ago.
He said, "I talk to him on the phone yesterday."
He's like a girl now. He's not the Ho Dong we used to know.
Ji Ae, you said that you have to rehabilitate and start afresh.
During my four-year hiatus, I reflected on my past a lot.
What did you reflect on, exactly?
It was about my attitude towards working in the industry.
Hyun Moo can probably empathise. Oh, I guess he may not. Well...
- Why do I feel insulted? - I'm sorry to interrupt,
but were you always this direct?
- She used to be a big liar. - I didn't know she was like this.
Being honest is good, but she lets everything out.
You should keep certain things to yourself.
I really wanted to talk, but I haven't had a chance to do so.
- Yes, that's right. - I found it very frustrating.
You were a news anchor in the past, so you probably couldn't talk...
- about what was on your mind. - I couldn't.
It's because I represented...
the public network I worked for back then.
Watch out for your pronunciation.
- "I represented." - That sounded so wrong.
- It sounded like Japanese. - You sounded like a grandma.
I'll explain.
If I tried to get people's attention by being loud like Hyun Moo...
and by doing different things...
- Gosh, my head hurts. - If I did that...
That's funny.
That was frowned upon in the organisation I worked for...
because I was the face of that TV network.
- I was one of the employees, - Right.
So I was cautious about standing out or talking about myself.
- In other words... - He must've had a clear goal...
of becoming famous quickly so he can quit.
(He set out a goal to quit as soon as he got hired.)
Hyun Moo won't be able to deny this. We can now talk about these things.
I heard your husband kept talking about Hyun Moo to challenge you.
He talked so much about Hyun Moo.
When Hyun Moo talks about his past shows,
he always says that he didn't get into MBC because of Oh Sang Jin.
- We were hired the same year. - It was also because of my husband.
Two people didn't get in and you went to KBS instead.
Today, Hyun Moo is...
Are you here to kill me or what?
This is by far the toughest show for Hyun Moo in the show's history.
Su Geun came to give Sae Ho a hard time, too. Ji Ae is a tough one.
- Jong Hwan and I were hired. - They started in the same year.
- Isn't he a reporter now? - Yes, he is.
I would sleep for long hours because I didn't have things to do.
Then my husband would call me from work in the morning.
"Hey, Hyun Moo is in a meeting looking all puffy."
(What is this now?)
Is that a compliment or an insult?
Why did he have to say that I looked puffy?
- Was he mocking me? - To sum it up,
he wanted to say, "He came to work even when he looks like that."
"He can't even take care of himself."
- Was he making fun of my face? - Wasn't that what he meant?
He wanted to tell me how hard Hyun Moo worked.
"You've been sleeping the whole morning,"
"but Hyun Moo already did one show and is in a meeting now."
"Ji Ae, are you still in bed?"
Your husband told us...
that you have a bit of a crazy side.
(My wife has a bit of a crazy side.)
Your husband said this, so it must be true.
I knew of Ji Ae, but I wasn't close to her.
Do you remember running into me after you quit?
- Yes. Don't talk about it. - We bumped into each other.
That was the first time we spoke one on one.
- Do you remember what you said? - What was it?
- What did I say? - "Hook me up with jobs."
- I said that? - I was so flustered.
(Being a freelancer is difficult.)
- I can't believe it. - How can I hook you up with jobs?
- I can understand. - Before Ji Ae quit,
she was the face of the cable network.
- Definitely. - She was such a snob.
- She was. - I was so surprised.
- She always held her head up high. - She did.
You guys thought she was a snob?
- That was the first thing she said. - She used to be like this.
I was a bit like that. Anyway, I didn't hear from anything...
and ended up taking a hiatus for four years.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Who is your role model then? Hyun Moo is a guy, so would...
- Park Ji Yoon be your role model? - No.
- No? Who is it then? - Lee Keum Hee.
- I see, Lee Keum Hee. - She's very charming.
Then you'd have to age quickly.
Are you saying that Lee Keum Hee is old?
- She is older. - Stop it.
- I don't see any resemblance. - Really?
- From what I've seen today... - You're very different from her.
Then I'll say it's Park Ji Yoon.
- Park Ji Yoon. - Yes.
- So her role model changed. - She's willing to do anything.
- She's ready to work. - She's full of energy.
- Could you also dance for us? - Of course.
She said she can dance.
- I think she just said it. - She'll have to keep her word.
Let's meet the last guest who needs rehabilitation, Jun Hyo Seong.
(Jun Hyo Seong is here for rehabilitation.)
- She has beautiful gums. - Hyo Seong.
Hyo Seong, you're known for your healthy-looking gums.
What do you think about it?
I've never thought that showing gum while smiling or laughing...
looks bad.
I think I look pretty good when I laugh or smile.
- You do. - Thank you.
Your gums look healthy and pink.
It shows that she's healthy.
Yes, it's pink. Some of my fans have told me...
- that I gave them confidence. - Of course.
"Thanks to you, I can smile and laugh confidently."
Many people identify themselves with me,
so I'm very proud of my gums.
Do you always check your gums before you go on stage...
- or before shoots? - Yes. I always look at the mirror.
- Is that right? - How do you check them?
Lipstick tends to get on them often because my smile is wide.
- On your teeth, right? - Both on my teeth and gums.
Lipstick gets on your gums, too?
- Yes. - It's usually just the teeth.
- It's because I smile like this. - You're right.
- On your gums. - I can see why.
- Do I have lipstick on them now? - No.
No, right? So...
- How do you get it off? - I heard you have a special trick.
Yes. I do this with my finger...
and do this.
Lipstick gets inside your upper lip. Inside this part.
If you wipe that part like this, the lipstick...
will stay put even when you smile.
I thought it was going to be a special trick, but it was this.
- She just wiped it off. - I thought it'd be a special tip.
Isn't it better to wipe it off like this?
I thought she was going to show us something special.
It was for the inside. It's hard to reach that part.
- How do you all do it? - It wasn't anything special.
I just do this.
(Watch out. Doing this could make you look ugly.)
That looked worse than what Hyo Seong did!
- So this is what you do, Ji Ae. - Yes.
- What about you, Hyeon Gyeong? - I do this.
(This could make you look even uglier.)
You just made it up, didn't you?
No, she really wipes her lipstick off like that.
- That's how she really does it. - Is she always this funny?
- She's hilarious. - That's what men do.
I've gotten scolded for it.
I used to do it before every shoot, and people have told me...
- not to do it. - Men wouldn't like that.
Do you ever smell your fingers after doing that?
(That wasn't funny at all.)
(The production team is sighing.)
If the production team dislikes you this much,
- you should know to... - We help him out a lot.
What are you trying to say?
The production team sighs whenever you try doing something.
- They don't like you. - It's a love and hate relationship.
- They should quit, then. - You started targeting Myung Soo...
unlike what you were doing earlier.
Does this mean you're done with me now? I've never felt...
this anxious on Happy Together before.
You have been looking anxious indeed.
(Su Geun wants Myung Soo's position.)
Hyo Seong, you're known for your sexy charms.
- What's this now? - Does it ever stress you out?
I'm actually very happy that people perceive me as sexy.
I've always wanted to look sexy even before I debuted.
(The randomness is making them laugh.)
And hearing that I'm sexy is...
Gosh, please focus.
(That made these guys burst into laughter.)
I'm sorry.
Hyo Seong, that was funny.
- That question was so random. - That was hilarious.
That was good. I really liked it.
- "Please focus." - You're sexy, indeed.
She's laughing again, showing all of her gums.
What was I saying?
- Your sexy charms. - Oh, right.
Gosh, please remember the question.
(Her cuteness is contagious.)
When it comes to someone's image,
I think that many people associate looking pure and innocent...
with positive things and give negative meanings to looking sexy.
I think many people think that way. I'm against it, though.
I love looking sexy.
(She wants to look sexy and healthy.)
It's one of my charms, and it makes me confident.
Doesn't it stress you out to only focus on looking sexy?
I was once reading online comments about me and saw these.
"Jun Hyo Seong is known more for her breasts than her singing."
It said you're better known for your breasts.
It's because that's what the media focuses on.
I also read this one. "A singer who sings her heart out."
It's a play on words, but there were many comments like that.
- It's not a bad thing, but... - I read those comments,
but I can't say, "Yes, I'm better known for my breasts."
(I can't say such things.)
- Of course. - I'm obviously a singer.
So I said, "I'm a singer, so I want to be known for my singing."
That's what I said, but it was turned into...
"Jun Hyo Seong wants to be known for her singing, not for her breasts."
Someone else wrote that?
- The articles said that. - I see, articles about you.
The articles were worded in a provocative way.
Words can be interpreted in different ways.
- You're right. - Yes.
Prior to my debut, I had no idea...
that I'd end up with this kind of sexy image to be honest.
I used to be very chubby as a kid, so my focus was losing weight.
After I debuted, I realised that people find me attractive...
because I'm not skinny.
People now tell me that I look sexy and healthy.
I had no idea that something like this would happen.
- You know what I think? - What?
I think she's the sexiest female singer in Korea.
- Well... - Did you see her commercial?
She danced on a chair in that commercial.
(Sexy chair dance)
The producers should hang on to their cameras tightly.
- It's amazing. - Really?
Would you please show us the chair dance?
- I need a chair. - She just needs a chair.
Su Geun keeps on doing my job.
- It makes me nervous. - I am sorry.
- It's okay. - I didn't realise it.
I understand that you only want to do well,
- but it's my job. - Sae Ho.
- It was nice working with you. - I am sorry.
- I only talked about a dance I saw. - You should go easy on me.
- Sae Ho is too desperate. - No, I am not.
I am nervous because when Su Geun talks,
his eyes are on me.
- Seriously. - He has an agenda.
- He is watching you. - Sae Ho must be worried.
I think Sae Ho is wary of Su Geun.
- This is so funny. - I won't take your job.
I don't like the way he looks at me.
Comedians have a tendency to try to outdo one another...
- when they meet at a variety show. - That's not what I did.
- "How do I make people laugh?" - That's not what I did.
It's important to listen to each other, too.
(The sexy queen, Hyo Seong's chair dance)
(The sexy queen gets started.)
- Look at the way she moves. - My goodness.
She is so flexible.
- My goodness. - My goodness.
Look at the cameraman.
(Grinning)
(He quickly closes his mouth.)
(Jun Hyo Seong)
(He squints his eyes.)
- My goodness. - My goodness.
She is amazing.
She can dance very well.
Everyone looks happy.
Camera crew's reaction is so funny.
- My goodness. - Look at Sae Ho.
Look at Sae Ho.
Sae Ho.
He doesn't know where to look.
- Sae Ho. - What is this commercial for?
- Sae Ho. - My goodness.
We don't know where to look.
Sae Ho.
(I am Jun Hyo Seong.)
My goodness.
Let's end it here.
(He suddenly feels thirsty.)
- That was amazing. - I know.
I understand now why people call her the icon of sexiness.
- She is amazing. - Did you see the camera operator?
- Camera operator. - I saw him shaking the camera.
This is what he did.
(He was feeling the groove.)
He moved to the rhythm.
The camera operator next to him showed us a toothy grin.
(His smile showed most of his teeth.)
She had that effect with just a chair.
She is amazing.
- Ji Ae. - Would you show us your dance?
Would it be all right?
- I need high heels. - Here they are.
You need to think about your career at KBS.
- Would it be all right? - She is the wild anchor.
I figured out in advance what I can do.
She doesn't deliver news these days.
(The wild anchor will dance.)
Now, she will...
- My goodness. - How are her legs so long?
- Excuse me. - She is like Daddy-Long-Legs.
- Her legs are impossibly long. - How are they so long?
Is this the effect of your trousers or are you legs actually long?
Where does her legs end?
She pulled up her trousers too much.
- Ji Ae, please stand up. - Please stand up.
Look at her legs.
(Ji Ae is Daddy Long Legs.)
Her legs make up two thirds of her body!
She looks like someone who gives out balloons.
- Balloons! - They make animals with balloons.
- Ji Ae. - She sat on the chair.
- She is the wild anchor! - She is back after four years.
She is done with sitting idly. Watch out, variety shows!
- Ji Ae, the wild anchor! - Give us the music.
- There she goes. - Look at her facial expression.
- What is she doing? - She is slouching.
What is she doing?
(Swaying her hips)
For goodness' sake.
She is like Hyeon Gyeong.
(Take this.)
My goodness, Ji Ae.
(She recreates the entire dance from her memory.)
My goodness.
She is like Hyeon Gyeong.
Get rid of the chair.
It was the kind of dance you can see at parks.
Seriously.
Sang Min, you briefly talked about...
- the way you used to be. - Yes.
Were you aware of your penchant for pretension?
Roo'Ra sold the most number of albums...
among dance groups.
We sold 1,980,000 copies.
Since I have always been interested in producing,
I became a producer.
I produced Country Kko Kko...
- and Sharp. - Sharp.
- You produced Sharp, too.
- Yes. - Sharp.
- There were Diva and Chakra, too. - Chakra.
- Sohodae. - Sohodae.
I rarely saw Sang Min standing up back then.
Other members were standing up,
but he sat in the back wearing fur and holding a cane.
Fur coat was Sang Min's trademark.
- Fur coat. - That's right.
Hyo Seong, you have never heard of Bros, right?
- Ji Ae, I bet you remember them. - Yes, I remember them.
They were a bunch of people dragging fur coats.
She remembers them clearly.
"A bunch of people dragging fur coats".
Don't stop here Win, win.
Don't stop here Win.
YG Family debuted first.
The two groups began working on albums around the same time.
I saw them on TV.
There were about eight members in YG Family...
- including Yang Hyun Suk. - That's right.
Because there were backup dancers on the stage,
it looked like there were 20 to 30 people.
I thought that since YG Family has...
20 to 30 members,
my group should have 100 people.
(100 people)
- Really? - Yes.
- You didn't want to lose. - No.
Bros had about 15 members.
How did they fit on the stage?
I thought of a way to have 100 people on the stage.
I added an orchestra even though it wasn't strictly necessary.
There were 48 members of the orchestra,
13 members of Bros...
and 12 backup dancers.
I also added close to 30 chorus singers.
- Was the stage big enough? - That's how I gathered 100 people.
- It must have cost a lot. - However,
the producer said,
"The stage might collapse."
- He was worried. - Yes.
He asked that we have less people on the stage,
so I got rid of 40 people.
- That leaves you with 60 people. - We decided not to have...
all 60 people on the stage at the same time.
Bros had to sing three songs in the end.
This happened because of YG Entertainment.
- That's right. - You wanted to win.
That's right. That's how things were back in the days.
S.M. Entertainment, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment rule now.
Back then, it was a fight...
between LSM Entertainment and YG Entertainment.
You think those two were the key players in the field.
- Yes, I do. - What about JYP Entertainment?
Back than, my agency had...
Chakra, Country Kko Kko, Diva and Roo'Ra.
Hyun Suk's agency had Keep Six, 1TYM...
and Jinusean.
Jin Young's agency had Ryang Hyun and Ryang Ha.
"I Didn't Go to School".
- That's right. - Hyun Suk felt threatened, right?
I am sure he laughed.
"He is trying to beat us."
"He is spending money on unnecessary things."
On the stage,
there was always a fight against YG Entertainment.
Artists fight over who gets the last stage.
- The last performance. - If you look it up,
you will see that Bros always gave the last performance.
- I see. - It couldn't be helped...
since 60 people were going on the stage.
(There was a sea of people.)
There was no other way to do it.
Since there were 60 people,
Bros couldn't perform at any other time.
There is another reason why Bros got the last performance.
YG Entertainment used a helicopter.
They showed a video footage of a helicopter,
and the sound of helicopter would fill the studio.
Then artists will enter the stage...
as if they got off the helicopter.
We had to do something after that.
Kim Se Hwang was the guitarist at the time.
We decided to use him for the performance.
He would appear with a gush of wind from below the stage.
Then I would join him for the performance.
We gave a great performance.
My goodness,
Lee Jung Hyun descended from the sky with a fan in her hand next.
(She is the warrior of techno music.)
You couldn't win.
It was beyond my imagination.
- Jung Hyun... - It must have been impressive.
Descended from the sky. A performance stands out...
only if there are no perfect performances before or after.
We didn't think Jung Hyun's performance would be so great.
The intro played.
There was a huge fan on the stage,
and it opened...
to reveal Jung Hyun descending from the sky.
She also had a microphone on her finger.
After that, 30 backup dancers holding a fan...
- entered the stage. - That must have been a sight.
"I didn't think it would happen."
- You must've been shocked. - I didn't think it would happen.
You were prepared for a video footage of a helicopter,
but not Jung Hyun's performance.
Bros' performance came next,
and it looked shabby in comparison.
We have the video footage. Let's take a look at it.
(Bros is a shortened form of "Brothers".)
- A shortened form of "Brothers". - We are getting ready...
- for the next performance. - There are so many people.
- Vicky, X-Large... - Bobby...
- There are so many members. - Chakra.
There were 13 members.
That's incredible.
Then I made an appearance.
- He is wearing a fur coat. - He must have been very hot.
He was the leader.
(Sang Min in a fur coat led his artists.)
The microphone was specially made.
(Vicky of Diva)
It's Vicky.
That's what the performance looked like.
This is from 1999.
It's Bobby Kim.
(Sang Min shows his explosive charisma.)
That's good.
My goodness.
There are so many people.
I can't tell these people apart.
This is like "Produce 101".
(He is embarrassed.)
- He remembers it now. - It was like "Produce 101".
Maybe I feel this way...
because I heard your story prior to watching the performance,
but it was the epitome of pretension.
He should have saved money.
- I know. - He could have saved so much money.
Had he saved money back then,
he would have been able to wear leather jacket now.
- Your microphone was up here. - It was specially made.
I am sure you thought it looked cool.
- To be honest, - I thought it was a harmonica.
It looked very strange. What was the thought behind it?
- It was near your mouth. - Back then,
Jung Hyun's microphone was on her finger.
Some artists also held their microphones like this.
- Yes. - It happened frequently.
Artists tried to come up with stylish ways to hold the microphone.
Artists had their microphones specially made...
and covered the microphone stand with crystals.
- Yours was specially made, too. - You can't tell from the picture,
but it was made with pure silver.
What?
The chain that went around my neck was.
I can't even see it.
It was made with pure silver...
- and attached like this. - You should've saved money.
It looks like the microphone employees wear...
- at ticket offices. - Seriously.
Did you really borrow authentic jewellery?
- Authentic jewellery? - Back then,
members of YG Family wore a lot of necklaces.
- They were imitation jewellery. - That's right.
- They were made with beads. - Yes.
I thought artists of my agency should wear authentic jewellery.
- What? - For goodness' sake.
- That's why... - Why did you do that?
I called the jewellery shop.
Did you buy or borrow the jewellery?
- The shop probably lent them. - I told the shop...
that Bros would like to wear authentic jewellery...
for music video and photo shoot for album cover.
- Really? - Yes.
The jewellery shop accepted my request.
Since I was a well-known producer with a big agency,
they found me trustworthy.
- They brought jewellery. - Really?
Yes, 3,000,000 dollars' worth of jewellery were brought...
by five security guards.
They put the jewellery on the artists.
Next to the artists, security guards kept a watch.
They didn't stop until the end of the shoot.
- They were vigilant. - They were worried.
- Jewellery can be switched. - They can be dropped, too.
Each security kept his eyes on a specific artist.
When the shoot was over, they took them back in cases.
I didn't notice the jewellery because they were so many people.
- Did they wear them in the footage? - They are not very noticeable.
- You did it for self-satisfaction. - Yes.
You were focused on the rivalry with YG Entertainment.
Sang Min's penchant for pretension...
was widely known among celebrities.
- He never said hello. - He used swear words often, too.
- He never said hello. - That's what I heard.
- He ignored senior singers, too. - He kept his age a secret.
Not many people knew Sang Min's age.
You can search on the internet now.
However, internet was not widely used back then.
It was impossible to know a celebrity's age if it was hidden.
You didn't greet other celebrities to put on airs, right?
I was incredibly arrogant.
I was very arrogant.
Since I was a leader of the group...
as well as a producer, I didn't appear on variety shows.
- You rarely did it. - I made other members do it.
I sent Kim Ji Hyun or Chae Ri Na in my place.
If the programme was hosted by Jae Seok,
- I made an appearance. - That's right.
- Is Jae Seok older than you? - Yes, he is.
Despite being older, Jae Seok...
addressed me very politely.
- That's right. - I could not...
treat him in a friendly manner outside of the show.
- I remember that. - I assumed a haughty manner.
Like he said, he was the CEO of an agency...
back then.
Everything I did led to good outcomes.
- That's right. - I am serious.
- You had the Midas touch. - You saw more successes every day.
My entertainment company released eight albums in 1999.
I did nothing but work for a year.
The 8 albums sold about 2,000,000 copies...
and I made millions in profit.
I was practically raking in money.
My father ran a barber's in the 90s.
His life's dream was to save 100,000 dollars.
In the 90s, 100,000 dollars secured you for a lifetime.
Even to this day...
It's a large amount of money.
You could buy a house with 100,000 dollars.
You could buy several houses in the countryside.
- It was worth a lot more back then. - How much is that?
An acquaintance gave it to me.
(An acquaintance gave him a bracelet.)
It will give him metal allergy.
It's made of iron.
- Metal allergy? - Don't go near a magnet.
Sang Min must occasionally sit alone at home...
and get lost in thoughts.
"If only had I not worn that fur coat!"
You must have had that thought.
Seriously.
I have a list of regrets.
- A list of regrets? - You have a list?
It's a list of regrets.
People usually keep a bucket list.
- Sang Min's list of regrets. - There is an event...
that makes up the biggest part of that list.
- What is it? - It's meeting MC Hammer.
- MC Hammer? - Yes.
MC Hammer.
(Who is MC Hammer?)
- The winner is... - The winner is...
- MC Hammer! - MC Hammer!
(He is an artist Americans love.)
(He released hit songs of the era.)
(Hammer trousers and his dance captivated the world.)
He came to Korea in search of an artist.
I heard a rumour about it,
so I met up with MC Hammer.
I told him that I want to make a group for the American market...
and asked for his help.
He told me that it would cost 300,000 dollars,
so I gave the money to him on the spot.
After that, I lived in the States...
and accompanied MC Hammer to the best recording studios.
A year went by.
I asked him when my group can perform on MTV...
or other music programmes.
He said that hip-hop musicians need to start from radio programmes.
- It's like that in the States. - I asked him when they will have...
a debut performance,
and he said that it can take anything from a year to seven years.
When he said that,
I got very angry.
Of course you did.
In Korea, once you make the music video...
- Then you debut. - You hit the music programme.
It's just a matter of securing a spot at "KBS Top 10 Songs".
The fact that you know the show is telling of your age.
- It's called "Music Bank" now. - "Music Bank".
- You perform at "Music Bank" and... - You have to.
- That's right. - That's how it works here.
When MC Hammer brought up an obscure radio programme,
- I felt like I have been scammed. - That's understandable.
I told them to pack up.
- In front of MC Hammer? - Yes.
I had spent 1,100,000 dollars.
No wonder you were upset.
I had spent 1,100,000 dollars.
I spent 200,000 dollars on music video, 300,000 dollars on MC Hammer,
250,000 dollars on recording...
- And your car. - I bet you also spent...
a lot of money on entertainment.
- He wasted money on entertainment. - He probably ate steaks, too.
We went to San Francisco on weekends...
to sip champagne on the 59th floor.
- Really? - It was a sky lounge.
"We went to San Francisco."
- He is ridiculous. - He is so pretentious.
Even though I had spent 1,100,000 dollars over a year,
I asked the artists to pack up. I wasn't afraid.
I was in a bad mood...
and I couldn't trust MC Hammer.
I told the artists that they will debut in Korea first.
They came to Korea and debuted.
- What happened? - I didn't think...
that the album would be a total failure.
It was the first time I had experienced failure.
What was the song called?
It was "You" by X-Large.
(This is...)
(the flop that cost 1,100,000 dollars.)
I was shocked to see...
an African American rapper in Roo'Ra.
Wasn't his name Romeo?
- Romeo. - We recruited Romeo.
Ji Hyun decided to debut as a solo artist...
and Roo'Ra was missing a main vocalist.
We decided to recruit Mikey Romeo...
to give Roo'Ra a boost. He was actually pretty old.
- Really? - Was he old?
We lied... I guess it wasn't exactly lying.
No one inquired about his age.
We were not asked about our ages.
Other members' ages were unknown, too.
We just didn't talk about it.
He is about 20 years older than me.
- Really? - He was already old back then.
He must be close to 60 years old now.
I remember his part.
Look up high in the sky.
Love lover lover grow.
Actually...
(Romeo filled the gap left by the main vocalist, Ji Hyun...)
(with his unique charms.)
He was a featured artist in a popular song by German artists.
- Tonight is the night - I know that song.
Hold me, hold me
Romeo rapped the part.
Really?
He rapped the part.
- Hold me, hold me - I sang that song so many times.
Myung Soo sings that song often. Hold me, hold me.
He became very popular with that song.
It was a well-known dance song.
I offered him a position in Roo'Ra.
- Really? - That's how he was recruited.
It must have cost a fortune to recruit him.
He received 40,000 dollars when he signed the contract...
and received a monthly pay.
He worked with Roo'Ra for 2 or 3 months.
During his time in Korea,
- he had a complaint. - What was it about?
We always ate packed lunch with bulgogi at the time.
It was bought from a store nearby.
It was the most convenient choice.
At first, he liked bulgogi because it was tasty.
He asked if we can have something else after a week.
I told him that this is the only option we have.
We always had the same kind of packed lunch.
- It's tasty. - He exploded after a month.
What did he say?
"Every day, bulgogi!"
(I am sick and tired of bulgogi.)
He was upset.
"Every day, bulgogi!"
He said to me,
"Every day, bulgogi!"
He was sick and tired of it.
Romeo left a funny phrase.
- "Every day, bulgogi!" - "Every day, bulgogi!"
He ate it too often.
I also regret not buying the building of JYP Entertainment.
It is now the main building of JYP Entertainment.
A real estate agent told me that I must buy it at 900,000 dollars.
- He gave you an advice. - I told him I have no use for it.
- You had a lot of money. - Yes.
I told him that a property wouldn't bring me much profit,
and he said that its value will increase every year.
Since I was making enough to buy two such buildings every year,
I didn't see the need to purchase it.
Instead, I rented a place...
across from the building of S.M. Entertainment.
You rented it out?
- Back then, - You rented it out?
The deposit was 200,000 dollars and the rent was 25,000 dollars.
- That was in 1999. - I see.
Did you say 25,000 dollars?
I spent 1.1 million dollars for the recording studio in the basement.
My goodness.
With all the equipment, it was around 1.5 million dollars.
(What was the result of his investment?)
The landlord wanted me to return the place to the original state.
I moved out because I was broke.
- Oh, dear. - My gosh.
I didn't have the cash to return it the way it was.
That cost another 20,000 dollars.
This is a like a drama. You can't sum it up in a few minutes.
- It's like a dream. - You should make a drama about it.
This is like a TV drama where the character hits their lowest point.
If you write a script like this...
You should make a sequel to "Descendants of the Sun".
It should be named "Descendants of Hammer".
I actually had a question for you.
When I look at Jae Seok, I realise that it's difficult...
to be successful unless you seize an opportunity.
That's the fundamental rule of life.
He always controls and restrains himself,
but there are so many things he probably wants to do.
- But... - It's like he's a religious leader.
I was wondering how you are able to keep living this way.
Now that you mention it, I started wondering about it, too.
Perhaps an incident made me this way.
For me, I was unknown as a comedian for a long time...
and realised this.
Others around me quickly became popular and then disappeared.
- There are ups and downs. - Once I saw that,
I told myself that I'll never do what they did.
That's what I thought to myself.
I'm not that brave...
so I can't do business. That's not me.
I wish I could have learned this attitude from him.
I don't know why I can't.
- Are you reflecting on yourself? - Yes.
Let's move on to Su Geun.
After Sang Min's story, I have nothing to say. I'll pass.
- But still... - My story is nothing.
- You can tell us a few things. - It was intense.
- It was intense, right? - Yes.
I'll just talk about how poor I was.
We didn't even have spoons, so we ate with our hands like Indians.
You have a lot of stories from when you were working really hard.
I remember how your hands were covered in dirt when I saw you.
He was so popular on "One Night Two Days" though.
- That was a good time. - He was at his peak.
- Indeed he was. - I wasn't envious of anybody.
(He volunteered himself to do all sorts of labour...)
(and led "On Night Two Days" to its heyday.)
That's the most difficult part.
We're starting over again...
but we think about how things used to be.
We have great hosts here,
but I was so busy back then, too.
All I wanted was to have five days off.
I wanted to rest for those five days.
You were extremely busy.
I didn't know 5 days would become 2 years.
You were off for a long time.
Yes, my image on the television...
was somebody who volunteers himself for others such as driving.
I ended up getting involved in gambling...
so people were even more disappointed.
- You had a set image. - I was like the handyman.
It didn't look right for me to gamble.
I was supposed to be a diligent worker.
- Am I allowed to smile? - You can.
- Can I? - Yes.
You were really busy when you were on "High Pitch Impossible", right?
Didn't Byung Man have to fill you in a few times?
- That's how busy he was. - That was during World Cup.
Right. I actually have to say sorry to Buzz for something.
I have to apologise to Min Kyoung Hoon.
"Reds Go Together" is their song...
but we sang it on "High Pitch Impossible"...
so everybody thinks it's our song.
(It doesn't help to be a good singer.)
Buzz wasn't invited to perform the song,
but we were invited instead.
How does the song go?
Let's go, let's go together.
We even shot a mobile phone ad that's usually for actors.
We were invited to all the events hosted by the city hall.
We were always the opening performance.
- Can you show us a bit? - Show us how it's done.
- What was the funniest one? - What was it?
It's Kim Jong Kook's song.
- Is it "Lovely"? - It is.
I need your help.
- From head to toe - From head to toe.
- That's all you need, right? - Please excuse my voice.
- We are clear, right? - We've done this so many times.
- We both know comedy. - One, two, three, four.
From head to toe.
You're lovely.
(They even move the same way.)
I'm proud that.
You're my lady.
- This is it. - That's how we used to do it.
- It was undeniably the best. - Even I was shocked at myself.
- I don't know how I thought of it. - Right.
- There are times like that. - I kept on going up...
so I thought I might reach Jae Seok's level.
I used to think that way.
I knew it wouldn't happen but I used to imagine things like that.
Like you said, there are times...
when everything falls right into place.
- Your environment helps you out. - This is a perfect time for you.
- Everything works in your favour. - I find it odd, too.
- Wow. - I mean it.
Back then, you could make people laugh by farting.
It was disgusting but people used to laugh at it.
There are only two people who can make others laugh by farting.
Unless you are Su Geun or Myung Soo,
you can't make people laugh by farting.
I agree. It has to sound smooth...
and smell, too.
He's lucky that his fart even smells terrible.
Did something ever happen while you were farting?
- I heard something came out. - That's gross.
- Did you poop? - It happened once.
There are a few people who did that. There are Su Geun and Kim Joon Ho.
- That was on "Gag Concert". - Joon Ho did it while filming...
and I...
(That's a fatal blow.)
did it during "High Pitch Impossible" days.
Ryu Dam kept on sleeping in the car.
We were at a pit stop but he was sleeping with his head back.
I lifted my bum up so that I could wake him up.
I actually waited for an hour so that I can let everything out.
- You were accumulating it. - I wanted to fart and wake him up.
- I let it out... - I see.
And it came out.
(How tragic.)
My goodness.
(I haven't tried that.)
It would have woken him up.
It was okay because it wasn't a lump.
- My goodness. - That's gross.
I have a question.
- You know that you're funny, right? - Yes.
How would you rank yourself out of all comedians in Korea?
- Just as a comedian. Be honest. - I might sound arrogant...
but if I you tell me to be funny, I think I can come out on top.
- In all of Korea? - Yes, if it's as simple as...
gathering everybody and doing comedy on a theme.
Would you surpass Jae Seok?
He has so many qualities that we don't have.
He's got qualities that we cannot even dream of.
I'm saying to disregard all that.
He's really random and unpredictable.
He's like that when he's with us.
- He's right. - He's very random.
Myung Soo, how do you think...
you'll do if you participated in such contest?
If I give it my best, I can come out on top.
He has everything that Su Geun has.
- He has his poop stories. - He's tough.
- He's not an easy competition. - He has his fart stories.
- He's at your level. - Right.
He's not afraid of taking off his clothes.
That's right.
Everybody's seen it.
What about you, Sae Ho?
I haven't made jokes out of farting or taking my clothes off yet...
so I think I have a chance.
- I think I have a good chance. - It'll be something new.
I've been watching him for a long time.
I think Sae Ho is always the same. The world has changed though.
(The world has changed?)
- What do you mean? - What does that mean?
Sae Ho hasn't changed but the world has changed...
in a way that they're able to take his jokes.
He's always been the same.
That's why I'm saying that he's got perfect timing.
People like him are seasonal comedians.
(He's a seasonal comedian.)
He'll get some attention while the real stars are taking a break.
- He's like a migratory bird. - That's right.
- The stars are coming back. - That's right.
- Enjoy it while you can. - Look at his face.
- I... - Sae Ho...
(He's worried.)
- We haven't seen each other... - What's up with that face?
For a while but I'm so baffled already.
I wish we had this.
At the end of each episode, the producer can stand up...
and say something like "Su Geun, you passed."
"Sae Ho, I'm sorry but you didn't make it."
Wait. I'm confident about one thing.
Look at his face. Try to keep a straight face.
I'm confident.
(This is him being confident?)
You're flustered.
- People are pretty fond of me. - Thank you for your effort.
- You're flustered. - Thank you for everything, Sae Ho.
People are pretty fond of me these days,
and I am going with the flow.
It's like how migratory birds go with the flow...
Why is your face so red?
I'll show you. I'll show you how good I am.
What do you think about Hyun Moo? He's on so many shows.
He got really lucky.
During that time, all the funny comedians stopped appearing on TV.
He's right.
I was flustered because I was offered to host so many programmes.
No, your abilities were already recognised by people,
but you weren't good enough to host so many at one time.
I agree. I admit it.
- That's so mean. - What is it?
They just said I'm a thief.
A thief?
It's true.
If this is considered as larceny,
he deserves to be in jail.
Hyo Seong, you are known...
- for your sexy dance. - Oh, my.
You're an idol singer.
(Her sexy dance is powerful...)
(and her charisma dominates the scene.)
I heard you move according to the angle of the camera.
How do you do that?
When I'm performing on stage,
each TV station has their ways of angling their cameras.
This doesn't change from week to week.
So I watch the music shows and memorise the angles.
I analyse it...
and if I'm dancing dynamically,
I aim for full shots or dolly shots.
- The zimizib comes down as well? - Of course.
For instance,
I'm dancing like this...
and let's say they are shooting a full shot from the side.
Rookie singers try to look at the camera straight...
and turn sideways but it's awkward.
(It's awkward to turn your head.)
- Yes. - You're right.
I care about the side face. It shows how relaxed I am.
I make sure to glance at the side and make a pretty face.
(She makes a sexy face.)
- That's how it goes. - So you look to the side.
A zimizib is usually on the side.
It sounds like a boyfriend's nickname.
- Zimizib went to the side. - Zimizib.
It usually moves like this.
It will move like in a music show.
- All right. - It's coming.
I'll start at the count of three.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
That's how you look at the camera.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
(She makes a sexy eye contact with the camera.)
Then you leave.
(Zimizib is shy.)
There's also a camera dolly...
- that moves across the stage. - I know that.
- The one that moves sideways. - Yes.
- That one... - Sir, please move to the side.
You are the camera dolly.
- Come on. - You have to get moving today.
Don't stay there.
(He's a human camera dolly.)
- Usually with a dolly camera, - That's not easy to do.
They shoot from below. So our legs look long.
I don't have to worry about looking good.
I just have to move my hips well.
While you look straight ahead,
you have to move the pelvis.
- Like that. - That's what you should do.
(She emphasises her sexy hips.)
(She even acts naturally.)
- I see. - If you look down,
- your angle below looks bad. - That's not good.
Rookies always make mistake of looking below to the camera.
When the camera comes near, they do this.
- They look at the camera. - That's right.
- You're not supposed to look. - Right.
In the past, we always looked at the cameras.
- We did. - We tried to dominate the cameras.
Right. We had to dominate the cameras.
- How did you do that? - When the camera moved around...
(He stares right into the camera.)
- How about the dolly camera? - That's hilarious.
(His confidence soared high.)
(He stares at the first camera.)
(He stares at the second camera.)
(He stares at the third camera.)
(He stares at the fourth camera.)
He moves around quickly.
That's what we used to do.
- That was hilarious. - Indeed.
You had to look at all the cameras.
We had to dominate the cameras.
- When I was active in the '90s, - Yes.
I collaborated with a cinematographer...
and came up with a new camera angle that later became popular.
- What was that? - What was that angle?
The cameras used to enter the stage during a music show.
I told the director to trust me...
- and to throw the camera at me. - Really?
So I grabbed the camera and took it from him.
Then I rapped.
When I turned the camera, the director rotated it.
Then I would lie down, and he would shoot me from above.
(Sang Min would lie down.)
- You started that technique. - Yes.
- Are you sure? - He's the creator.
- There's no way to find out. - It was like that in the '90s.
(The famous technique in the '90s was the camera...)
(entering the stage and rotating.)
Can we try this? I am sorry we're making it hard for you.
- He deserves a bonus. - Yes.
This is how it begins.
(Come on, Camera!)
(The camera rotates once.)
(Sang Min lies down.)
(This is how it looks from the side.)
(The cameraman falters.)
(But he manages to finish shooting.)
Bravo!
(He's the first entertainer to lie down on TV.)
Wow.
- Wow. - You're amazing.
(He's professional.)
He's amazing.
It's your first time working together, right?
- Yes. - You two make a good team.
He rotated the camera, and he went like, "Gosh!"
(It was a bit tough.)
He was a little upset.
- He's a veteran cameraman. - Hyo Seong,
do you want to experience the '90s camera move?
- It's been a long time. - This is so funny.
- We rarely see this move. - Right.
- Dominate the camera. - Don't be afraid of the camera.
(She's full of energy.)
"Top 10 Songs".
- The music is nice. - Dominate the camera!
(Rotating)
(The camera moves fearlessly.)
He's excited.
(He turns the camera.)
Oh, my.
Did you see how he rotated the camera?
(The camera constantly rotates.)
(She's better than Sang Min.)
That's great.
(This is not the end.)
Where are you going?
(She tries to dominate every camera in the studio.)
(Everyone falls in love with Hyo Seong.)
She's amazing.
(She ends with the zimizib.)
Good job, everyone!
The cameraman danced more than Hyo Seong.
(Let's compare the two scenes.)
(He rotates the camera twice.)
(Then he rotates it three times, )
(four times, )
(five times and six times.)
It's hard work for the cameraman.
He's talented.
(Hyo Seong has endless charms.)
When people approach you for pictures, you check the app first.
- What app? - Oh, that.
I often use public transportation without makeup.
- Right. - Is that right?
Yes. When I'm walking down the streets,
some people still recognise me.
They ask for a picture.
- They recognise you without makeup? - Yes.
I know the angle I look good.
So I volunteer to take the picture.
I then find my good angle...
- and take the picture. - You don't care about that person.
It's not like that.
I use photo apps, so everyone looks decent.
- Why don't you try with Sae Ho? - Let's say he's your fan.
I am sorry, but are you Jun Hyo Seong?
- Well... - This is crazy.
Can I take a picture with you? Please?
Do you have a photo app?
- Yes, I do. - Let's use it then.
- Okay. - Okay.
- One, two, three. - His face is too big.
(The fan takes the picture first.)
- There we go. - Sae Ho would look good.
- I'll take one more. - One more?
- Can I take one this time? - With my phone?
- Yes. - You can't take it. It's mine.
The fan is confused.
Is there a timer?
- A timer? - A timer?
Where is the timer?
Her fan must be happy to spend that much time with her.
- Here we go. One, two, three. - His face is enormous.
- It's different. - Sae Ho took this picture.
She looks thin. She looks very thin.
- You look very thin. - Yes.
(Her face appears smaller.)
Ji Ae, what would you do if a fan approaches you...
- and asks for a picture? - I would be so grateful.
I thank my fans for asking to take a picture with me.
- Do you really say that? - Yes.
- I'll start walking. - You're Ji Ae, right?
- She's beautiful. - It's you.
- Do you know me? - Yes.
I can't believe it!
She's really happy.
- Hello. - You know me?
- He's pressured. - I haven't been on TV.
I am sorry, but why are you approaching me?
(He stops her.)
(She's sad.)
Really.
Don't try to beat your fan.
I was trying to take a picture of myself.
- Do you want to take it with me? - Yes.
- Her legs are so long. - One, two, three.
Thank you so much.
- Okay. - Don't forget me.
Okay. Thank you.
- How is it? - She looks fake in the photo.
(She put on a fake smile.)
She wears a fake smile to look like a good person.
- Right. - "I'm a very cool girl."
- Right. - That's how it feels.
- Let's try with Hyeon Gyeong. - You're Uhm Hyeon Gyeong!
You're Hyeon Gyeong, right? The sad-faced girl.
This is crazy! You're not as pretty as I imagined.
There are people like him.
I'm tricked! Gosh! I am so disappointed.
Do you want to take a photo with me?
- Okay. - All right.
- I'll move back a little. - No, I will.
- My head has to appear small. - I am a celebrity.
I am a celebrity wannabe.
I won't take it then.
(They fight over the size of their faces.)
This is so funny.
- You are too far back. - I am a celebrity.
- They are competing. - Two, three.
Hyeon Gyeong, you moved too far back.
(She might travel to the space.)
She kept stepping back.
I heard Hyo Seong...
has some kind of an obsession.
She can't handle free time.
Yes, I am like that.
Before making a debut, I was on a survival audition show.
I am not sure if it's because of that experience.
I always feel like I have to survive and grow.
I get those compulsive thoughts.
Even when I have time, I can't rest.
I practise and get lessons.
I train and get beauty treatments.
That's my life pattern,
so I only got to travel once after making a debut.
- Just once? - Yes.
- You only travelled once? - Yes.
Even meeting up with my friends and family...
make me nervous.
- I'd rather train or... - You feel worried.
Get vocal lessons. It makes me feel better.
The industry is really competitive these days.
There are many young and talented ones.
As a CEO of an agency, what advice would you give her...
if she was one of your own singers?
Well...
The person I envy the most is a happy person.
In the past, I envied people who are richer than me.
When I had a million, I envied someone with a million and half.
When I had 3 millions, I envied someone with 3.5 millions.
But these days, whenever I see mother and daughter...
or father and son walking together happily,
I am so jealous and envious.
They look so beautiful.
So when you have happiness, just be content with it.
(He gives a very useful advice.)
I am thankful for everything I have,
and I feel so happy each day.
I didn't feel grateful in the past.
I have always complained...
and felt irritated.
But now, I'm very thankful and happy.
You should write an autobiography.
Actually, they ask me...
these questions on TV shows, but I'd never talked this much.
You are willing to listen.
- Yes. - And...
so many things happened in my life that...
I will need three volumes if I write an autobiography.
It's the same with my mum.
(Life is rehabilitation.)
This is the highlight of the Rehabilitation Project.
Su Geun and Sae Ho will...
- That would be fun. - Yes.
(Sae Ho is the hottest entertainer on the rise.)
Will I be able to do it?
(Su Geun is the nation's most diligent entertainer.)
You did it!
(Sae Ho versus Su Geun)
Wait. I'll go get changed.
(He suddenly gets pressured.)
Why...
Why are there so many stars on his outfit?
That's because I have a dream.
Are you an observatory or what?
- I'm dreaming. - It makes me dizzy.
I don't want to say this, but since I'm regular here,
- you can do whatever you want. - I know that.
- There's a problem here. - Okay.
Your outfit stands out too much.
- There are far too many stars. - My dream is to become a star.
- Okay. - What's the first match?
They are the two shortest comedians. They will compare their heights.
- I see. - Okay.
(The Hobbit, Unexpected Journey)
(Round 1: Turn your weakness into something funny.)
- Sae Ho is... - Wait!
Sae Ho is 172cm tall?
(That's on his official profile.)
How dare you!
Deceit is a big crime, you know?
- I am 172cm tall. - I can change it today.
- Hey, I'm 172cm tall. - I will change it today.
- You're clearly smaller. - Actually, I'm 166cm tall.
- I am actually taller. - It's not much of a difference.
- That's a huge difference. - Right.
Ready.
(They try hard to appear taller.)
By the way, why are we doing this?
It's funny.
I get all the other things we do, but why are we measuring height?
I didn't come here for a medical check-up.
- Why are we doing this? - I might have to leave...
the industry because of my height!
Let's see who's smaller.
- Ready? - Oh, it's to see who's smaller.
(They are flustered by the twist.)
Okay.
One.
(They show off their charms.)
One.
(The smaller they become, the funnier they look.)
You can't lie down.
Our bottom can't touch the floor.
- Okay. - Your bottom can't touch the floor.
- One! - This is funny.
(They become more peculiar.)
They are like animals.
- One. - One.
- So it just began. - Yes.
- One. - Wait.
I've seen a lot of these in the movies.
It can end any moment.
Seriously, why are we doing this?
- One. - Sae Ho might win.
- At least you're a regular here. - Two.
- Awesome. - You have to be smaller.
One, two, three!
(Who will be...)
(smaller and win?)
(Su Geun falls.)
Yes!
- Sae Ho wins. - Yes!
Sae Ho wins.
Sae Ho won the first round.
He won because he's younger and more flexible.
That's right.
- Next is Chinese contest. - Chinese?
All right.
(Su Geun can communicate with fake Chinese.)
(Sae Ho is popular in Chinese TV industry.)
(Round 2: Use fake Chinese to make people laugh.)
Even if it's a pretend Chinese,
you lose if you get stuck.
Are you ready?
I am good at speaking Cantonese.
Even native Cantonese speakers think I speak their language.
- Sometimes. - Start.
(They start the fake Chinese speaking contest.)
(You can't measure up to me.)
(Pass the job to me. You've done enough.)
(It sounds like Korean.)
Why can't you say you love her?
I am sorry.
I can't do it.
He started talking in Arabic language.
What does that even mean?
(He's humiliated.)
- I was... - What were you saying?
It just came to my mind.
I will give you one more chance.
- One more time. - It sounds more like English.
Begin.
(Aren't you eating a lot these days?)
(What I eat is none of your business.)
(If you saved up the money, you would've bought a house.)
(You should treat me first before telling me that.)
A huge bowl of sundae?
(It does sound like real Chinese.)
(I am hungry. Buy me a bowl of soup.)
You like eating soup.
(Your tummy will explode if you keep eating.)
(He speaks Korean again.)
This person and that person.
- What about that person? - It's over.
You can't speak Korean.
- "This person and that person." - What was that about?
Su Geun won the second round.
To make it funny, you have to mix in some Korean words.
Can you try it?
It's very nice to see you again.
That's how you do it.
It's very nice to meet you.
(Is this the end of Sae Ho?)
You're good.
- He's good. - He is.
I don't have anything, so I'll give you this.
- I won't wear that. - Please wear it.
The stars frustrate me.
- You'll become a star. - It's too much for me.
It's okay.
Please give it up for them.
(The entertainers are rehabilitated.)
It is the Rehabilitation Project,
and we talked with four guests today.
I hope to see you more often, Su Geun and Sang Min.
We'll come back next week with a better show.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
(See you next week!)
(Next week)
(Shin Hye Sun and Sung Hoon visit Happy Together!)
(Song Jae Hee and Seo Yoo Jung are a strange couple.)
(Tony and Kim Jae Duck are friends who live together.)
Tony dances well.
I'll kneel down.
What are you doing?
- Oh, my! - I am shy!
He said he didn't have any work and asked me to go to a vacation.
You did that, remember?
Hey.
He asked me to meet him at the restroom.
So I followed him.
He said, "Take off your trousers."
- What? - What?
What's that?
(What's the ending of this surprising story?)
("Saying with Love" by Lim Do Hyeok)
