Hello, friends.
(Add a beat to the talk.)
Don't get too cocky.
Are you Beenzino?
Are you Gaeko?
Zion. T did everything he was asked.
Don't you have a remote control?
Should I make him shut up?
Shut up!
He didn't want to do a children's programme.
The kids are going to cry.
(Let's get sucked into the...)
(fearless teenagers' whirlwind unbeknownst to adults and children.)
Shall we call them?
- Hello! - Hello!
The Age Doesn't Matter Special begins now.
We're joined by five teenagers...
who say that age is only a number.
It's the Age Doesn't Matter Special.
Have you seen, "The Wailing"?
No, I haven't.
- Why does that matter? - All right.
Who cares?
Why is that important?
Let me introduce...
Gu Ra's son, MC Gree, Kim Dong Hyun.
Due to his father's support,
his song has hit number one on the charts.
Jae Jung is gone. His song isn't even on the charts.
Be quiet.
Do you want to wail today?
He's the new 19-year-old hip-hop artist, MC Gree.
- It's MC Gree. - Hi, GR.
(He acts like he can't hear.)
He's the 11th Boni from "Tok! Tok! Boni, Hani".
He's a child star who wants to be an MC.
However, he can't compete with...
Su Min's overwhelming popularity.
- It's our friend, Shin Dong Woo. - It's our friend, Shin Dong Woo.
(It's Boni and Hani's cute greeting style.)
(They're pretty cute for 47-year-old men.)
- We have to clap. - We clap three times.
It's Shin Dong Woo.
It's our friend, Shin Dong Woo.
She's the star of "Tok! Tok! Boni, Hani".
She was born in 2001.
Her popularity is soaring due to her talent and cute appearance.
She has shot 20 advertisements in the past few months.
Hani is the nation's younger sister.
- It's our friend, Lee Su Min. - It's our friend, Lee Su Min.
Do it quickly.
Do it quickly like me.
All right.
(He doesn't know what matters.)
She looks very familiar.
She was on "Star King" as a 12-year-old singer from UK.
She debuted as a singer last year.
She's a confident teenager from UK. It's Shannon.
It's Shannon.
The first guest is Gu Ra's son.
Is the last Dong Yeob's daughter?
Many people probably think that.
- They look alike. - Her features are close to him.
- They look close. - Yes, they are.
However, she isn't.
She's a member of a girl group who debuted four months ago.
It's Da Young from Cosmic Girls.
(MC Gree, Shin Dong Woo, Lee Su Min, Shannon and Da Young)
It's good to see you, GR.
- Hi, GR. - He's got a groove now.
Close the door, GR.
All right.
It's nice to see you.
Dong Hyun is a rapper now.
As soon as "Nineteen" came out,
- it hit number one. - That's right.
- Yes. - How did you feel?
It was so unexpected.
What time did it hit number one?
- It was 3 o'clock. - I see.
Wasn't it 2 o'clock?
It was number five.
- It went from No. 5 to No. 1. - I see.
- Was it 3am? - It was 3am.
- On the chart... - Excuse me.
- Don't say the name. - Sorry.
- Did it break through the roof? - Yes, three times.
Explain what that is to him.
- If more than 80 percent... - Don't say the name.
- Yes, the M charts. - Right.
Your name isn't Dong Hyun on the charts.
(Gu Ra keeps nagging his son.)
How did you break through the roof?
He thinks you broke an actual roof.
- It's still under repair. - Is that right?
It's a roof kick if over 80 percent of users listen to the same song.
- It breaks through the roof? - Right.
Why did it break through three times then?
- It happened for over three hours. - I see.
It was neck and neck with Jae Jung and Kyu Hyun's song.
Jae Jung's song reached around No. 20.
- Right. - It was a close race.
He shot straight down.
Exactly.
The next morning, Kyu Hyun sent me a text of apology.
(I'm sorry.)
According to your agency CEO, Rhymer,
you didn't get overly excited.
You went right back to work instead.
I had an appointment.
It's been a while since Rhymer had a number one song.
Wasn't it San E?
That was a while ago.
Are you the new cash cow?
- Cash cow? - Cash cow.
Are you saying that to your son?
- Cash cow. - Incredible.
- You know what a cow is, right? - Yes.
Right, cash cow.
Money cow?
- Do you understand? - It's a cow that makes money.
What are you talking about?
Are you talking about pork and beef?
This feels...
like deja vu.
Why is he saying, "cash cow"?
He never changes. That's why I like him.
Do you know what inflexible means?
- Ignorant? - That's not it.
(It's the exact same situation as two years ago.)
- You're as rigid as ever. - He's the same.
He's inflexible.
(Is this deja vu?)
Dong Woo, when MC Gree's song...
hit number one, he acted calm.
However, did he tell you how he really felt?
When his song kept rising in the charts,
he wondered whether it would hit number one or not.
He said he'd make history at his label.
He said he was going to make history.
He was excited on the inside.
He didn't show it to you.
- On the phone, - He's still proud.
I congratulated him.
- He was really excited inside. - I was trying to be strong.
Beware of him, Dong Hyun.
He's a friend like me.
Be careful of him.
Don't get too close.
He'll reveal everything.
- You said you'd help me. - I will.
I see myself in him.
He says everything.
You're like the new Gu Ra.
He's the new Gu Ra.
His chin is getting longer.
Dong Hyun, you said the reason you became...
a hip-hop artist is because of Radio Star.
Did your company give gifts as gratitude?
- What do you mean? - That's too much.
That's not very supportive.
- What do you mean? - Your name, "MC Gree"...
- was created on Radio Star. - That's right.
Did you decide on a name?
How about MC Gree?
Stop saying that.
When he was younger,
his nickname was Gree because his face was round.
- How about MC Gree? - I told you not to.
- Gree. - I don't like that.
- Why do you keep saying that? - Stop insisting.
There are things...
like the Kim Young Ran Law.
Do you know that?
I knew it. He always asks people if they know.
Don't ask. We don't know.
(Confident)
- I don't know, either. - You don't?
Goodness.
Explain what the law is.
What is it?
Tell me. I'm going to search.
It's about political lobbying.
It applies to journalists, too. Small gifts are okay.
- Giving gifts? - Yes.
- Like rice cake? - That was my agency's fault.
- That's obvious. - Well...
Try to keep up when I'm speaking.
- Make it funny. - How can I talk when I don't know?
What's Kim Young Ran Law?
Why are you telling your son to make you funnier?
Come on. You're so boring.
You should be in the spotlight, not him.
Of course.
- I'm here as a rapper today. - Be true to yourself.
Even with your son, you have to be in the spotlight.
Why don't you two show us your introduction...
on "Tok! Tok! Boni, Hani"?
- That's right. - We'll do the introduction then.
- Go ahead. - One, two, three.
- Hello, friends! - Hello, friends!
Our show has left EBS to appear...
on Radio Star at last!
(They finally appear on Radio Star.)
We have prepared...
many fun stories today.
Let's call Radio Star today.
- Hello. - Hello. Who is this?
- It's our friend, Kim Gu Ra! - It's our friend, Kim Gu Ra!
Our friend, Gu Ra is on Radio Star...
along with his son, MC Gree.
His song is number one. How do you feel?
I'm really pleased.
I hope it won't go to his head.
He should remember he's a high school senior.
- All right. - Please do your best today, Gu Ra.
- One, two, three, four! - One, two, three, four!
- Good luck, Gu Ra! - Good luck, Gu Ra!
(They energetically encourage him.)
- You're our friend, Gu Ra. - Well...
Why don't you try it with Dong Hyun?
- I don't want to. - Come on.
You can't refuse!
You have to do it.
He's a hip-hop artist now.
- You can't do that. - He thinks it's childish.
People still remember you when you were Dong Hyun on "Bungeoppang".
You can't refuse. You have to give it a try.
I saw his expression.
You can't do that.
Please forget me on "Bungeoppang".
You still have to do it.
- Don't you want to do it with him? - Yes.
Do it.
- What should I do? - Just try it.
- Try it. - I'll teach you.
- Try it once. - Yes.
- Do the beginning. - Give me lines.
- I don't know the lines. - Excuse me.
A songwriter needs lines?
- Leave him alone. - You can improvise.
- Stop talking. - Leave him alone.
He's stressing me out, too.
- When will the show end? - I'll teach you something simple.
- Hello, friends. - Hello, friends.
Introduce yourself and Hani.
Then say, "Let's begin Radio Star."
- "Let's begin Radio Star." - Right.
One, two, three, cue!
- Hello friends! - Hello!
- Hello, friends. - Hello, friends.
- I'm Boni. - I'm Hani.
- Let's begin Radio Star! Hello. - Hello.
- That was great. - Why didn't you do this?
I don't know how to do it.
Are you Beenzino? Are you Gaeko?
- No. - You can't refuse!
Beenzino doesn't do this.
Yes, he does.
Zion. T did it, too.
Good luck, Gu Ra!
You're good.
As expected,
you take after Dong Yeob's talent.
(His skills have been passed down.)
Dong Woo, you've had many guests appear on the show...
like Park Myung Soo,
Hwang Kwang Hee, AOA and Winner.
Yes.
I heard you have a special guest in mind.
I'd really like...
Gu Ra to appear.
I'd like if you could spin the wheel.
- Is the EBS studio in Yangjaedong? - It's near Dogokdong.
That's a bit far.
- If you have time... - It's a bit far.
I'll visit when I have time.
That's a promise.
I'll bring GR along.
Why am I included?
- GR? - I'll bring GR.
Dong Hyun can appear separately.
- He doesn't want to. - Do you have a remote control?
Please turn him off.
- I don't... - Please make him shut up.
The two GRs will appear.
GR likes me better, not you.
- Turn him off. - I'll bring GR.
I don't want to go.
- Gu Ra, go by yourself. - I don't want to.
Su Min, you're as popular as Suzy and Hye Ri lately.
- You've shot 20 advertisements. - Really?
Dong Woo, you've appeared in four advertisements with Su Min.
- Yes. - I heard you're concerned that...
- everyone only wants Su Min. - It's understandable.
Honestly, I can't help it.
We're both hosts of the show.
It's a bit concerning.
However,
I have my own programme now.
I heard your show...
"Escaping Crisis No. 1" got cancelled after a month.
Did it get cancelled because of you?
- Well... - Was it because of Dong Woo?
- That's what I heard. - Right.
Gook Jin hosted the show for two years.
- It was a great programme. - It was on for 12 years.
Dong Woo and Su Min have worked together for a while.
I heard a lot from Dong Hyun.
Dong Woo was really reluctant initially.
That's what I heard.
- Dong Hyun. - He told me he wanted to die.
- He really hated it. - Are you getting revenge?
Is it your turn now?
- "Why do I have to do this?" - I see.
Since Su Min was doing so well,
you must have been really reluctant.
It was back when he first auditioned.
"I don't know why they want me. Why should I do this?"
"I'm 18 years old."
- What are you talking about? - "Why should I deal with children?"
(Why should I deal with children?)
Honestly, I did feel that way.
- There were cringeworthy lines. - Of course.
- I wasn't used to it. - Were you a high school senior?
I was a freshman at the time.
Actually, for high-schoolers,
that's understandable.
It's an age when they want to be adults.
In the end, I received a lot of support.
It helped me a lot.
I heard you might be leaving.
- I'm not sure. - I heard that from Dong Hyun.
- Goodness. - Goodness.
- Let's call a truce. - All right.
- I'm sorry. - I'll stop after this.
Is there something else you want to do?
- He needs to prepare for college. - Right.
The former Boni left because of college.
- The former Boni? - That's the precedence.
It's not for sure.
Of course, he's probably thinking it over.
The children will cry.
(The elementary students will cry.)
Su Min received a lot of offers...
and appeared on many variety shows.
I hear you wondered why...
Radio Star didn't invite you.
- She thought she was popular. - She didn't get it.
- Wait. - "Why aren't they inviting me?"
It's not that.
What other programmes have you been on?
- I've been on "Happy Together". - "Happy Together"?
- You've been on "Happy Together". - Yes, I have.
However, I've seen Radio Star many times.
While watching with my mum, I wondered when you would invite me.
(When will they invite me?)
It was a dream of mine. I'm not boasting.
(Being on Radio Star was her dream.)
Do you want to be on any other shows?
I really want to appear on "Infinite Challenge".
"Infinite Challenge"?
Gu Ra is the programme broker.
- Recommend her. - Our show is a stepping stone.
Her goal was "Infinite Challenge".
- That's why she's here. - No, no.
I also really want to be on a music programme.
- A music programme? - Yes.
Based on what I saw earlier,
- she'd be a good music show MC. - I agree.
- I want to do that. - You'll probably do it soon.
I hope so.
Su Min, you think Gu Ra is cute...
- and Kyu Hyun is scary? - What's that about?
While watching the programme,
I thought your expression when you pout was...
- so cute. - When did I pout?
- You always pout. - Exactly.
- We can see it clearly. - That's right.
You're afraid of Kyu Hyun?
He smiles while delivering cutting remarks.
- It's scary. - What do you mean?
It's okay if he's just outright scary,
but he smiles so sweetly while delivering barbs.
It gives me chills.
(Shocked)
Teenagers are accurate.
You give her chills.
I'm getting chills.
He refused to give up during the staring contest.
The kids cried a lot.
They cried because of the staring contest?
- It was so inhumane. - He practised so he could beat you.
(He practised so he could beat you.)
Shannon, what is your nationality?
- I have dual citizenship. - Is that true?
I have citizenship in Korea and the UK.
I see.
Do you speak English with a British accent?
Water.
- Water? - Water.
Are you and MC Gree the same age?
I think so.
(Is that right?)
Why don't you introduce yourselves?
- Hello. - We already did.
Will your girlfriend get jealous?
What? No.
He's bringing up his girlfriend now.
- Give me the remote control. - What should I do?
Should I make him shut up? Shut up!
(He's pushing the button.)
(The Wi-Fi connection is bad.)
- Shut up! - Say, "Be quiet" instead.
- Stop. - Did Dong Hyun ask you...
- to buy something from Japan? - Lip tint?
Right, did you give it to her?
- He give it to someone else. - Really?
That's...
That's the swag I'm talking about.
That's how a hip-hop artist should be!
It's not like that.
- That's swagger. - Did you say trash?
- Swagger. - Oh, swagger?
I didn't say trash.
- Swagger! - You're genuine trash.
(Swagger, not trash. Open your ears.)
- That was a long time ago. - It was.
Where are your parents from, Shannon?
My mum is Korean.
My dad isn't British.
He's from Wales.
- Wales? - I see.
I'll give you some advice.
Why don't you create a study group...
- with Dong Hyun... - Are you saying it right?
- and Dong Woo. - What's with you?
Dong Hyun and Dong Woo can teach you Korean.
Shannon can teach you guys Korean. What do you think?
She already speaks Korean well.
You can still teach her. What do you think?
- It's fine with me. - Me, too.
We can be friends.
I'll buy you patbingsu every week.
- Patbingsu? - What do you think, Shannon?
Doesn't it sound good?
(Doesn't it sound good?)
- She speaks Korean well enough. - Meet once a month.
- That's fine. - Not bad?
- Not bad. - Not bad?
- Not bad. - Why not?
Yes, why not?
Why not?
Shannon, you became...
famous on "Star King" and came to live in Korea.
(She shocked everyone with her vocal ability.)
(Shannon was a 12-year-old girl from the UK.)
When I was little,
I was really into musicals.
You like Webber?
- Pardon? - Webber.
- Andrew Lloyd Webber. - Andrew Lloyd Webber?
- That's right. - Yes.
What did you say?
Please pronounce it correctly.
You need to study once a week, too.
- I think you should. - You should join them...
- and learn English. - Webber.
I really loved musicals.
My mum's friend posted a video...
of me singing online.
"Star King" got in contact.
- "Star King"? - Yes.
From then on,
I came to Korea...
and became a singer.
- Are you a solo singer? - Yes, I am.
What's your genre?
Genre?
- Genre? - What is that?
- Genre. - What's your genre?
I'm still figuring it out.
What are you leaning toward?
I like hip-hop lately.
That's MC Gree!
- You should work with her. - MC Gree!
Gu Ra likes you, Shannon.
- What do you think? - He really likes you.
Do you want to do RnB like Rihanna?
Well... I guess so.
But hip-hop music doesn't necessarily mean rapping.
You can do a duet later.
I'd be happy to.
(He answers looking at Dong Woo.)
- Look at her while speaking. - Sorry.
- That's not polite. - He wants you to become close.
Look at people's eyes when you speak.
- Keep your spirits up. - Okay.
- Aren't you sick of him? - Yes, I am.
(I'm sick of him!)
I'll create a new button.
(He brightens up.)
He'll fly away when I push it.
(He'll create a flying chair button soon.)
Da Young is a girl group member.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
You're known for looking like Shin Dong Yeob.
How did you feel when you first heard the comparison?
Before I debuted, I didn't do a showcase.
I did events first.
- There were news reports first. - Keep going.
(He takes a peek because he's curious.)
- Keep going. - Due to the photos...
- He looked. - This situation started...
because of the photos.
- We have some photos. - Please don't.
Let's take a look.
- Wow. - They look the same.
- That picture... - It's an uncanny resemblance.
It was due to the lighting.
It's a weird picture of you.
I never wear pigtails because of that picture.
(We switched faces because they're so similar.)
How was it when you met Dong Yeob...
on a programme?
We met on the programme "Hello".
I went backstage.
(She's explaining earnestly.)
(He takes another peek.)
Keep going.
I met Lee Yeong Ja before Dong Yeob.
We were far apart.
(She saw Da Young from far away.)
She said, "It's Da Yeob!"
- She called me Da Yeob. - Da Yeob?
Our names start with the same letter.
We both start with the letter D. She was really shocked.
Dong Yeob was also shocked.
We took a selfie together.
We have that selfie.
She tried not to look like him.
She opened her eyes wide.
- I see. - That's not true.
- They're hiding their mouths. - She should've relaxed.
Isn't it nice having that advantage?
Yes, I like it.
- Everyone recognises me. - You have something to say.
It's better than looking like Yeom Kyung Hwan.
(It's better than looking like Yeom Kyung Hwan.)
MC Gree wrote the lyrics...
for his debut song "Nineteen".
There are lyrics like,
"Even though I'm a positive person, I was shaken up."
"After their divorce was announced, my head was filled with thoughts."
"There were reporters in front of my house."
"I learned that humans are cruel."
- Right. - Wow.
Goodness.
You should have led a good life.
(Gu Ra is upset and Jong Shin is flustered.)
Gu Ra is upset.
Do you see how cruel one can be?
- Anyway... - He's cruel.
He is cruel.
My goodness.
- He hurt me to be funny. - That's not true.
- Anyway... - He is cruel.
Anyway...
Jong Shin,
- you are a bit cruel. - He is cruel.
You are a bit cruel.
"I realised once again that people are cruel today."
He's cruel.
I secured my screen time.
(They are scapegoats of Jong Shin's screen time.)
Anyway,
it is a heartbreaking thing...
- to witness parents' divorce. - It couldn't be helped.
Please rap this part.
- That's a good idea. - Please rap this part.
Even though I am a positive man, I was shaken up.
They can rap together.
(Gu Ra destroys the beat.)
- That's the part. - Someone, press the button.
That's the part we want you to rap.
(Even though I am a positive man, I was shaken up)
(Two rappers have a rap battle.)
(Show Me the Radio Star)
(When there were reporters at our door)
What is this doubling?
- Gu Ra, stop rapping. - My goodness.
(I realised people are cruel)
For the next round,
(For the next round...)
he won't be joining us.
(Don't laugh.)
Wasn't it hard to write about difficult times in your life?
It was hard at first.
However, the more I wrote,
the more I wanted to talk about it.
Talking about it relieved a burden in my heart.
I heard the lyrics used to be...
- more explicit. - Yes.
- What were the lyrics like? - The title was, "Nineteen".
- I mean, "Eighteen". - The original title was "Eighteen".
I wrote the song over the course of a year...
and changed the lyrics 4 to 5 times.
Back then,
reporters came to your house to cover the story on Gu Ra.
- Yes. - Dong Hyun had to see that.
I was at home.
When I didn't open the door,
they left pastries by the door with a note asking for a comment.
They wanted a comment from You.
They wanted me to eat the pastries and talk.
How did you feel?
I was very surprised.
I called my mum and asked her what I should do.
She told me not to open the door so I pretended like I wasn't home.
(It's heartbreaking.)
Gu Ra, you didn't know what was happening at the house, right?
I only found out later because I was at work.
As a parent,
- you must have felt bad. - I felt bad.
I felt bad.
However, I have to continue life...
- even if I feel bad. - You are right.
I still had work to attend...
so I made Dong Hyun understand that. It couldn't be helped.
I still keep in touch with the reporter who left pastries.
I called the reporter...
and found out he had only joined the company.
Since senior reporters...
ordered him to keep watching in front of the house,
- he couldn't help but follow it. - He was desperate, too.
He left pastries because he felt bad.
- Does he own a bakery? - No, he doesn't.
People are very cruel, aren't they?
Anyway...
I secured my screen time!
(The hyena-like Kyu Hyun has secured his screen time.)
Your new song made...
- many people see your talent. - I am grateful.
I heard you write a verse every day.
Yes.
- I don't think it's true. - It is true.
- Really? - Yes.
I write one verse per day.
I write verses on weekdays and listen to music on weekends...
to get inspirations for the following week.
This is how Zico practised.
Zico is my role model.
I heard Zico wrote a verse every day...
so I did the same.
You get inspiration from books.
I got inspiration for verses in "Nineteen" from a book.
It was a book about a middle-aged man.
A middle-aged man? What was the book called?
It was called, "Let Go If You Are in Love".
- "Let Go If You Are in Love". - In the book...
Is it a message for Gu Ra?
In the book...
You are cruel.
- You are. - You are very cruel.
What a cruel person!
- Please go on. - The story didn't inspire me.
The words in the book did. The words made me go,
"I should write a verse using these words."
Which part of the verse came from such inspirations?
Which words inspired you?
"Wet coat".
I liked that part.
- "Wet coat". - It's an expression from the book.
I liked that part a lot.
I wrote a verse using that expression.
- What does that mean? - It represents reality.
"We are all wearing wet coats."
"They keep us cold but we are too scared to take them off."
That's right.
It represents reality.
- Is that expression from the book? - No, it's not.
He just borrowed the word.
Why are you accusing him of plagiarism?
Why would you do that?
You are a cruel person.
Does the wet coat represent your father?
It represents the age of 19.
It's a time of struggle because of college entrance exams.
Even if you feel cold, it's too scary...
to give up on everything.
You would feel naked without the coat.
That's what I wrote about.
- I wanted to offer consolation. - He is growing into a fine man.
Wouldn't "wet jacket" have been better?
What do you mean?
"What do you mean?"
He didn't understand Gu Ra.
Stop saying nonsense.
You can make the remix version.
Title the song, "40".
Make it "47".
(Will he make an appearance on Show Me the Radio Star?)
Gu Ra is acting that way...
because he is not used to hearing compliments about his son.
- That's why he is being talkative. - He is in a good mood.
He interrupts me too much.
MC Gree...
is not dedicated to his studies.
- Does he get bad grades? - They are awful.
Where did you place in your class?
What do you mean?
I don't look at my report cards.
Have you taken a look?
I haven't either.
No one looks at his report cards.
Dong Hyun's teacher,
you don't need to send them report cards.
I told you about this a few days ago.
I asked him, "On which subject is your test tomorrow?"
He said, "I will find out tomorrow."
A lot of students are like me.
- My goodness. - Excuse me.
Are you proud of yourself?
When I ask my friend, "Which subject is the test on?"
He goes, "I have no idea."
"Let's go to school and find out."
That's too much.
"Let's go to school and find out."
Su Min, you don't understand him, do you?
No, I don't.
I think you should find out even a day before the test.
A day before and the morning of the test are the same.
(She experiences culture shock.)
(Sighing)
Dong Woo originally dreamt of becoming a rapper.
- Really? - That is unexpected.
That's right.
I didn't dream of becoming a rapper.
This is how the story goes.
When Dong Hyun, Tae Yeop and I were on a show,
we listened to a lot of hip-hop.
Tae Yeop and I decided to become actors...
while Dong Hyun decided to pursue a career in hip-hop.
He wanted to...
become like So Ji Sub.
- He wants to act and rap. - I do want to do that.
When opportunities arise,
I want to release an album.
Would you show us how well you can rap?
Let's hear Dong Woo's rap.
- I am not good at it. - I can't listen to it.
I won't listen to it. Do whatever you want.
- Goodness. - I won't listen.
Let's hear it.
Why am I nervous?
Let's hear it.
(He shouts, "Yo".)
- This is nerve-wracking. - Keep going.
- Rappers need to be confident. - Okay.
I am at Radio Star.
Look at me drop a freestyle rap.
(We refuse to look.)
I will become.
The Iniesta of the acting scene.
The star of rapping is my friend, MC Gree.
It's not a lobster.
(Everyone is laughing.)
I will later eat a jaws ice cream bar.
(I will later eat a jaws ice cream bar)
(It's finally over.)
That was nice.
(Congratulations on surviving the cringe-worthy moment.)
I need a plane to get rid of goosebumps.
- The rhymes were incredible. - Yes.
Star of rapping and lobster.
It was unbelievable.
- It was good. - He is a funny man.
Dong Woo will get on G-Dragon's level today.
- G-Dragon? - He will get on G-Dragon's level.
He will show us G-Dragon's "Crooked" dance.
I am so excited.
- Show us. - He came prepared today.
He told me he wants to get a lot of screen time.
He is determined.
- "Crooked". - At the audition...
of "Tok! Tok! Boni, Hani",
I was asked to dance to "Crooked".
My dance back then was pretty mortifying.
- Please show us. - Okay.
Get ready to play "Crooked".
I will let my body follow the rhythm.
(She is expectant.)
(He starts off confidently...)
(and misses the beat.)
(He shows off his swagger.)
I can't watch this.
(He flaps his arms around.)
(It resembles a ritual.)
(Kyu Hyun is in charge of the background music.)
(She cringes.)
(I am crooked.)
(He walks like a zombie.)
My goodness.
(I shouldn't have watched.)
(He repeats the same dance moves.)
(He can't keep his head up.)
(He gathers the rest of his energy.)
"Crooked".
(Stop it.)
(He wants to forget what he saw.)
Did you really dance at the audition?
- Yes, I did. - He got the part.
I did it half-heartedly since I have no dance skills.
After it was over, the production team said,
"He has a sense of rhythm."
He has the nerves of steel.
- Shannon. - Yes.
You went to a prestigious art school Amy Winehouse had gone to.
It's called, Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Was it difficult...
- to get in? - Well...
It was kind of back-breaking.
She is honest.
That's right.
So it was hard.
- She uses good expressions. - So it was back-breaking.
- It was incredibly back-breaking. - I bet it was.
It is difficult to get accepted into the school.
I memorised the lines...
from "Romeo and Juliet".
You must have perfect pronunciation,
acting skills,
expressions,
singing skills, dance skills...
and satisfactory grades to be accepted.
- It's hard to get accepted. - Are you bragging about yourself?
Just a little bit.
She has swagger. Isn't that right, MC Gree?
- She has swagger. - You want them to be friends.
It's just...
Let's see the powerful dance...
- she learned at that school. - Your pronunciation was a bit off.
Powerful dance.
(G-Dragon wannabe follows the rhythm.)
(Her dance is intense from the start.)
(Both the young and the old are impressed.)
(She dances powerfully despite being small.)
(She keeps a smile on her face.)
(She has a perfect sense of rhythm.)
(His soul has left his body.)
(She shouts.)
(She has got swag.)
(Everyone is mesmerised by her performance.)
(She shows a popping dance.)
(Shannon's dance skills captivate the audience.)
Shannon, you are the best.
Thank you.
You need to reflect on yourself.
Don't you want to be friends with her?
Yes. I want to learn dance from her.
My dance skills will improve with practice, right?
No, it won't.
There is no hope for you.
(No...)
Shannon, you used to work as a child actress in UK.
- Yes. - When you were seven years old,
- you were in "Les Miserables". - Yes.
I played Cosette in "Les Miserables"...
- for 2 or 3 years. - Do you know what it is?
I know what "Les Miserables" is. Jean Valjean is the main character.
"Les Miserables"... I know that much.
- We thought you wouldn't know. - Do you know who wrote it?
- What? - Who is the author?
(He sighs.)
- The author? Do you know? - Who is the author?
You should answer it.
- You don't know either, do you? - You should answer it.
Answer at the same time. In 3, 2, 1.
- Jean Valjean. - No.
(They laugh.)
- You are so ignorant. - What's your answer?
- I know it's not Jean Valjean. - What was going to be your answer?
You think Jean Valjean wrote "Les Miserables".
- I thought it was an autobiography. - My goodness.
You thought a bread thief wrote an autobiography.
Maybe that's why a reporter left pastries by the door.
- You are cruel. - You are cruel.
- What a cruel man! - Seriously.
I can't believe you said that.
That's not why the reporter left pastries by the door.
Being cruel secures my screen time.
He is cruel.
- What's the first letter? - It's V.
- V? Victoria. - My goodness.
Wait a minute, it's close to the answer.
- It's Victor... - Victor?
- Victor. - What's the last name?
- Victor. - Victor.
Victor Williams?
- I have no idea. - That's not the answer.
- He doesn't know either. - No, I don't.
See? It's no wonder he has remained so quiet.
Remaining quiet keeps my image untainted.
- I thought you knew. - He doesn't know either.
It's Victor Hu...
You are one syllable away from the answer.
- Guess a syllable. - It's Victor Hu...
Huturn.
- Huturn? No. - Victor Hu...
- Victor Hu? - What's the last syllable?
Victor Hu...
Victor Huam?
(Laughing)
- Huam? - Huam?
I can't believe his answer was Victor Huam.
- They are so ignorant. - What is the answer?
It's Victor Hugo.
- Have you heard of the name? - I think I have.
- I've heard of it. - No, you haven't.
(Don't lie.)
You can hit four-octave high notes.
- Let's listen to it. - There exists the whistle tone.
Koreans call it the dolphin sound.
It's falsetto.
Let's hear it. Please sing.
I don't like the way it feels inside.
That's the whistle tone.
- It's quite a feat. - It really is.
- Can you do it? - Of course, I can't.
- You can't? - Of course, he can't do it.
I am only a man.
There was a time Su Min was unknown. I thought she quickly became famous.
In "Flames of Desire" in which Dong Woo played the lead,
- you played a minor role. - I had a minor role.
Did you see him back then?
- I didn't know she was in it. - I only saw Kim You Jung.
I see.
(You Jung was 12 years old.)
(Su Min was tanned back then.)
The lyrics are "Whisper your sweet love".
Your rendition was terrible. Take a seat.
I had an audition for the role.
However, no one, not even Dong Woo, knew I was in the drama.
I was really young, too.
- When did it air? - The drama aired in 2010.
- She was young. - I was 10 years old.
She was 10 years old.
I remained playing minor roles for a long time.
I played only minor roles for 3 or 4 years.
You were the wallflower.
You took a nice picture with Choi Soo Jong back then.
Wait a minute. Is this really going to be aired?
- Seriously? - Of course.
- What's wrong? - Why?
Why wouldn't it be aired?
(Screaming)
Why wouldn't it be aired?
- Su Min, you became prettier. - Is that really her?
This is why I didn't recognise her.
She became prettier.
This is why I didn't recognise her.
- I can tell it's you. - I would like to explain.
I didn't get any plastic surgery done.
However, I was going through my burnt chestnut phase back then.
You were in 9th grade. Of course, you didn't get plastic surgery.
- That would be strange. - I know.
- You became prettier. - After seeing that picture,
many people wondered if I had gotten plastic surgery.
- You lost baby fat. - I didn't get plastic surgery.
My face changed as I lost weight.
- Your face changes in adolescence. - How old were you?
- Were you in primary school? - I was in 5th grade.
- She was 12 years old. - I was in 5th grade.
I hate that picture.
Dong Woo made a shrewd remark.
"This is why I didn't recognise her."
(His tongue is as sharp as Gu Ra's.)
Da Young is from Jeju Island.
- Yes. - Where in the island are you from?
- I am from Jeju-Si. - Jeju-Si.
Yes. I lived close to the city hall.
- A typhoon hit the island in 2007. - Yes.
Typhoon Nari hit Jeju Island and the coast of the South Sea.
As a result, 17 people died or went missing.
Damage in Jeju Island is so great that details have not been totalled.
Half of your house was submerged in water.
- The water reached my waist. - The damage was great.
- The sewer was clogged by leaves. - That's right.
- The water had nowhere to go. - It overflowed.
To tell you what was happening in my life at 2007,
my parents had gotten a divorce in 2006.
My father had a big amount of debt.
He had borrowed money from the banks under my mum's name.
Then, he left for Seoul...
and my parents got a divorce.
My mother had a debt of 1.2 or 1.3 million dollars.
(She had a debt of 1.2 or 1.3 million dollars.)
That's the amount of debt my mother had.
The situation is similar to my family's.
It will be the same if you change the sex.
Give her an advice on what to do.
- The situation has improved a bit. - Don't get yourself involved.
- They are in similar situations. - Focus on your work.
- I see. - You should see her.
- We can relate to each other.
- You should see her. - Seriously.
We are all wearing wet coats.
- I agree. - We are all wearing wet coats.
- What happened then? - My mum and dad...
had run an eel restaurant ever since I was four years old.
After my dad left, my mum had more work.
She had to clean the eels and change the grills alone.
My mum almost went crazy. She cried every night...
when she looked at the account balance.
That was the situation when the typhoon hit.
My mum went outside without knowing what to do.
I decided to scoop out water in the house.
I swam around...
and threw out water outside the window with a bowl.
I spent an entire day scooping out water...
to have the water level down to my ankle.
I called 911 as well.
That's how we received...
relief supplies and money later.
It can be hard to talk about the struggles at home.
- I am glad she is open about it. - It's all in the past.
- Almost 10 years have passed. - Yes. It's all in the past.
My mum met a new boyfriend recently.
They live together in Jeju Island.
I live away from them so there is no problem.
She speaks about her situation openly.
I told my mum to do as she wishes since I live in Seoul.
- She is cool. - I agree.
Dong Yeob has also gone bankrupt...
from a failed business. The stories are similar.
He is cruel.
- He is cruel. - He is cruel.
(He laughs.)
Da Young moved to Seoul alone when she was 13 years old.
- She lived in a small room... - When she was 13?
And prepared for "K-Pop Star" auditions.
She is open about her struggles. She is a confident young woman.
I took a flight from Jeju Island to be here.
My name is Da Young.
What is important is by your side
I want to tell that to a person.
Who plans to embark on a long journey.
How did you rent a room alone? You were 13 years old.
- You were in primary school. - My mum looked for...
rooms that were available to stay with me.
However, those rooms were too expensive.
I had no choice but to live alone in a small room for 15 days.
There were cockroaches on the floor and the ceiling.
There was mouldy rice inside the rice cooker.
I have bad memories of that time.
You became quick-witted from living at your friends' houses.
Yes. I moved out and asked my friend...
who was preparing to become a singer...
to stay at her house.
She let me stay at her place.
When her mother cleaned the house,
I felt like she was cleaning right under my feet intentionally.
- Even though I knew... - That's a good way to describe it.
- she wasn't, I felt like... - "Move your feet."
- "It's so dirty here." - She didn't say anything like that.
When she was cooking,
- I felt like I was a nuisance. - I understand how she felt.
So I helped her with cooking...
- and laundry. - You went through a lot.
- That's a good story, Dong Hyun. - I washed my own underwear.
- Were you inspired? - I'm sure she'll be successful.
- Does she inspire you? - Thank you.
Why do you keep asking that?
- "Yes, Honey." - "Yes, Honey."
(They make a pun.)
"Yes, Honey."
Shannon, when you first came to Korea,
you found the cultural differences...
between Korean and British teenagers.
When I came to Korea,
I was coming of age.
You're considered as an adult when you turn 16.
The age of 16...
- In the UK? - Yes, in the UK.
They graduate from school at that age.
They can legally get married, go to college...
and live on your own.
- It's different. - I see.
There are huge cultural differences...
between Koreans and British.
People feel embarrassed...
to talk about things like the first kiss.
- You mean, Koreans? - Yes, when I brought it up,
they would avoid talking about it.
- They don't want to talk about it. - Kyu Hyun is 30 years old now.
I asked him about his first kiss...
but he refused to answer.
He looked so funny.
- It's a problem. - That's right.
When was your first kiss?
He still feels embarrassed to talk about it at the age of 30.
S.M. Entertainment considers 30-year-old singers as adolescents.
- That's how it works for them. - Gosh.
- That's right. - There's another thing.
At school, we had a class where we learn about sexuality.
- Everyone was looking down. - Sex education.
- I was... - You had already learnt it.
I got a perfect score in the test.
- You took a test? - Yes, it was taught to us...
because we can prevent any trouble...
- by learning it in advance. - You got a perfect score.
- Things like birth control. - Only I got a perfect score...
and everyone thought that I was a trouble maker.
Dong Hyun, ask her to learn about it.
She's like Gu Seong Ae, the famous lecturer.
What are you talking about?
(She can be the next Gu Seong Ae.)
- It's necessary to know it. - It's for awareness.
- I know that. - Koreans tend to avoid...
- talking about it. - I understand that.
I understand that high school students feel embarrassed...
to talk about it.
However, it's different in Kyu Hyun's case.
- He's 30 years old now. - You'll turn 40 soon.
He still looks so embarrassed to talk about his first kiss.
- It's okay. - I think he's old enough.
- It's okay. - Well...
- I can talk about my first kiss. - It's okay.
- It was during my high school days. - You haven't said it before.
(Kyu Hyun has never talked about it.)
He hasn't talked about it for the past four years.
You opened it up because she just talked about it.
- That's understandable. - He still blushes at the age of 30.
I believe that we all need someone to love.
- That's a good remark. - I like that.
We all should be in love.
- We have different cultures. - That's right.
My friend got divorced.
At your age?
She got married when she was 17 and got divorced at the age of 19?
- Yes. - It's like Dong Hyun got divorced.
- That's right. - That's right.
Why did you use him as an example?
(Why did it have to be my son?)
He's cruel.
- Indeed. - He's cruel.
- He's having a revenge...
for teasing him earlier.
- My goodness. - How could you say that...
when you know what happened to Gu Ra?
- You're crueller. - He's crueller.
Why would you explain it?
(He didn't have to explain it.)
Some people say that MC Gree could debut only because of his dad...
while others say that it's Gu Ra...
who benefits from his son.
How do you think about it?
- What do you think? - It's true that I have a privilege.
It's also true that I helped my dad.
I think I should become a more reliable son...
to support my dad.
That's nice of you.
It's true that Gu Ra helped him...
(Gu Ra is touched.)
become a famous rapper...
- when he made his debut. - That's right.
However, the help you got can also be an obstacle in the future.
I told Dong Hyun to understand...
that people criticise him because of me.
After all, I made it easier for him...
to make his debut as a rapper.
If you think of the unknown rappers...
- who go through hard times, - That's right.
- it was easier for you. - To be honest,
I don't think my debut song would have become a hit...
if I weren't his son.
Do you want to join a rap contest like "Show Me the Money"?
I don't know about that.
- You haven't thought about it? - No.
- Join "King of Mask Singer". - So you can guess it's me?
- He'll guess it's you. - I know what you're thinking.
He invited his son for his own sake.
(Gu Ra invited his son for his own sake.)
Su Min must have dreamt of becoming a singer.
She appeared on "The Voice Kids" in Korea.
- That's right. - Shall we...
- take a look at the video clip? - Are you serious?
- We're serious. - We're serious.
(It's a singing contest for children.)
- Cover your ears. - My goodness.
Who's that?
(She looks cute with plump cheeks.)
She was 12 years old back then.
- Seo In Yeong was the judge. - That's right.
(She has a heart-wrenching voice.)
That's In Yeong.
- She looks the same as now. - Is that your mother?
How does she express the sorrow like this?
(She raises her mic up to her forehead.)
I thought Hyun Moo was her father.
(Her voice sounds very mature.)
- She's good. - Indeed.
(She closes her eyes as she gives emotion to the song.)
I'm so embarrassed.
- She became prettier. - She became prettier.
- Did people say you were mature? - Yes, sometimes.
I think she's mature for her age.
Every time I watch myself on that show,
I feel like I can't watch it being sober.
What do you mean by that?
- She can't drink. - I mean...
Even grown-ups get nervous on a live show.
Did you have a lot of yoghurts?
(Did you have too much yoghurt?)
Su Min will show us her Fast Forward Dance today.
- All right. - Yes, I will.
- She's a good dancer. - I prepared.
- The floor is yours. - She has so many talents.
- She's really good. - I might just embarrass myself.
(She's worried about it.)
The song is playing at double speed.
(She dances to "Cheer Up" at double speed.)
- Is this AOA's song? - No.
It's Twice's song.
(The speed increases.)
She's good.
(Kyu Hyun and Gook Jin can't take their eyes off her.)
(She looks so refreshing.)
(I don't look like a burnt chestnut any more.)
(Kicking)
(She makes a lovely facial expression.)
She's good.
It's so fast.
(She doesn't make a mistake.)
(This is the cutest dance move in the choreography.)
She's adorable.
(Everyone is mesmerised by Su Min.)
(She turns into a penguin.)
She's so cute.
(She wins everyone's heart with her cute facial expressions.)
(She wins their heart.)
(She looks refreshing and lovely.)
(She's adorable.)
How cute.
(She's as good as girl groups.)
- She's so cute. - That was good.
Moving on, Da Young will...
- improvise a dance. - She will improvise it.
- Wow. - Yes, she will.
- She'll show us her dance. - I like that.
Dance to the randomly chosen songs.
- Let's begin. - Okay.
(She starts dancing.)
- Is this AOA's song? - Yes, it is.
Is this "Good Luck"?
- The suspender got loose. - That's right.
Whose song is that?
- It's EXO's "Call Me Baby". - EXO?
(Su Min knows the choreography, too.)
- Is that the original dance? - Yes, it is.
- Okay. - It's "Pick Me".
(She moves to the centre and starts dancing again.)
She's good.
(She looks like one of the group members.)
- Is she doing well? - That's the choreography.
("I Need U" by BTS)
- She knows every step. - She's good.
Did someone tell her about this? Did she see the script?
(Did she know what songs would be played?)
How does she dance like that?
(It's an unbelievable talent.)
("Rough" by GFRIEND)
She's good.
(She should be on "The Geeks".)
It's GFRIEND's song.
How does she know the dance?
- Her clothes are slipping down. - Look at your suspender.
It's dangling.
(She keeps on dancing passionately.)
Don't play Super Junior's song.
(That's my group's song.)
Don't play Super Junior's song.
It's a very old song.
- She doesn't know. - I don't know.
(I don't know its choreography.)
This isn't a hit song.
(Well done.)
It's like a classical music of idol singers.
- It's a very old song. - That was five years ago.
Wasn't the song a flop?
- We won on music shows. - Really?
- The song was a hit. - It was a hit.
- She's a good dancer. - Indeed.
Even though Da Young is still young,
she enjoys watching "Golden Egg", "Mysteries of the Human Body"...
- "Altoran". - "Altoran"?
- Do you like Um Aing Ran? - Yes.
I like Doctor Lee Gyeong Jae, too.
You enjoy watching TV programmes that provide health information.
I watch that kind of TV programme...
- very often. - Middle-aged women are fond of it.
That's right. I learn more about health...
- and I share it to others. - You do?
- That's great. - You spend all your allowance...
- on healthy juice you saw on TV. - That's right.
- I started with grape juice. - Grape juice?
- My mum bought it for me. - Grape juice.
I liked it very much, so I tried pomegranate juice.
It's good for your health.
The prices are different.
Pomegranate juice is 1 dollar and 60 cents per pouch.
It's very expensive so my mum doesn't buy it for me.
- I bought it with my allowances. - Pomegranate juice?
I tried many other kinds of juice since then.
- I have 4 or 5 different types. - Do you like pear juice?
I prefer balloon flower root and pear juice.
It's good for you.
Pear juice alone seems a bit plain.
So I prefer balloon flower root and pear juice.
I heard you will recommend healthy juice...
- to the hosts. - Yes.
- I brought these from home. - I know a lot about healthy juice.
I brought healthy juice...
for the hosts.
Which one would be good for Gook Jin?
I recommend red ginseng.
Oh, red ginseng.
Do you like red ginseng?
- He does. - Yes, I do.
This is a customised one. I took a note...
of good herbs when I watched "Altoran".
There are different herbs in it.
It helps to keep you warm.
Did you customise it?
- Yes. - Tell us why it's good for him.
- Oh, right. - Please explain to us.
He seems skinny.
(Gook Jin has a skinny body.)
So I chose energy-boosting ingredients...
to help him keep warm...
- and to improve... - His body is always cold.
His physical strength.
He's like a lump of ice.
Those help to keep his body warm.
Have you ever touched my body?
(How would you know that?)
This one is for Jong Shin.
Since he wears glasses, I picked something that's good for eyes.
- Blueberry? - It's blueberry.
He has good eyesight. He wears glasses to look better.
Because his eyes look like this.
He has good eyesight.
He has small eyes.
- Really? - He wears them to look better.
You can still give him that.
- Here you are. - Blueberry is good for your health.
- We all like blueberry. - And...
- it's for... - Is it for Gu Ra?
- It contains red ginseng, too. - For Gu Ra,
- I brought grape and cabbage juice. - Cabbage?
Actually, I don't think I need cabbage.
My stomach is quite healthy. Please give me the grape juice.
- You have to drink both. - No, it's okay.
I know it's because you don't like the taste.
- It's not that. - Actually, he hates Cho Sae Ho.
- His nickname is Cabbage. - I enjoy drinking healthy juice.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Dong Hyun, I drink 10 pouches a day, right?
- I eat a lot of health supplements. - You do?
Kyu Hyun, I picked something that's good for your throat...
- as you're a singer. - It's balloon flower root juice.
- Thank you. - That's nice of her.
There's a fruit similar to blueberry. It's quite sour.
- Acai berry? - Yes. I like that.
- Why didn't you give me acai berry? - It's very...
How can you complain about that?
- I'll explain. - I can't stand it.
- He always complains. - I like acai berry.
- It's too expensive for me. - She's a high school student.
Exactly. It's ridiculous.
- She bought these. - Don't complain about it.
- She even customised this one. - There's one more thing.
- These are... - What's that?
That's acupuncture needle for ears.
It's not a needle. It's a stone.
It's attached on this tape.
It's effective for jaw joint pain and helps to get a sharp jawline.
Would it work for him?
- Well... - I think she's fooling us.
- No, I'm not. - He'll get a sharper jawline.
- She's fooling us. - Sharper than now?
- Will he look like this? - I'll put them on Gu Ra's face.
Gu Ra's entire body is bloated.
(His entire body is bloated!)
I'll begin.
This is the point for a sharp jawline,
and this point is for making your face look happier.
- It lifts the corners of your lips. - I see.
He needs both.
- I'll put it on the point. - I see.
Oh, I see.
It feels good.
Oh, that's how you put it on?
(He's fascinated.)
- Then, press it. - It feels good.
You should put this on for three days.
Should I put it on for three days?
(Should I go around with this on my ear?)
- I have TV shows to host. - Okay.
You can take it off a day later if you press it well.
It feels good.
- Kyu Hyun is... - She said three days.
An idol singer. He needs to prevent his face...
- from swelling and keep it slim. - Okay.
He has pimples on his face and his face is bloated.
If he has pimples,
I'll help him to improve his endocrine health.
She sounds like an expert.
- Improve your endocrine health. - It's amazing.
- I'll lift your hair. - She must know a lot.
Kyu Hyun is...
(Kyu Hyun is startled.)
Press it like this.
Don't be a crybaby.
(Stop exaggerating the pain.)
It hurts when you press here.
- It really hurts. - There're different points.
It hurts to press this point.
- Does it mean he's not healthy? - It means he has toxin in his body.
Let me try that. Let me do that.
(He's like a student being scolded by his teacher.)
- It really hurts. - I don't feel any pain.
It doesn't hurt at all.
It means you're very healthy. You'll get a sharp jawline.
It doesn't hurt at all. It doesn't.
- Please visit my waiting room. - Will you do this for me again?
- I'll give you some more. - Okay.
It's fascinating.
Shannon, I hear you can move your eyebrows freely.
When I talk with someone,
I move my eyebrows a lot.
- Wow. - Foreigners are more expressive.
I prepared something to show you.
I'll move them to the beat.
- To the beat? - To music?
- She prepared a lot. - I can move them freely.
- Really? - Yes.
She can move them freely.
(She starts her performance.)
- Here she goes. - That's good.
(Her eyebrows are dancing.)
(It's unbelievable.)
(She moves with the beat precisely.)
(She moves her eyebrows separately.)
(It's fascinating.)
(This is eyebrow wave dance.)
She's doing the wave.
- That's amazing. - That's unbelievable.
I'm worried Dong Woo might be outshone.
Dong Woo was sloppy earlier. Can you show us something else?
I heard you prepared something.
I'll imitate Actor Lee Sun Gyun. Many people already did it.
- Okay. - I practised to do it.
(Lee Sun Gyun has unique and low voice.)
"Hey, I just said..."
"one vongole pasta."
- He's good. - "When will you do it on your own?"
- You can also copy Kim Sang Joong. - Well...
I can't imitate his voice.
I can imitate his facial expressions.
"If you take a closer look,"
(It's amazing.)
That's funny.
- "you will see the truth." - That's really funny.
- You should lower your head. - He finally made us laugh.
Please show us again.
"Hey, I'm Lee Sun Gyun. However..."
- I want to take a picture. - "I think..."
He looks a bit like...
Lee Kwang Soo.
(He looks like Lee Kwang Soo.)
Gu Ra talked about Dong Hyun's girlfriend on Radio Star...
not long ago.
- That's right. - How long have you been dating?
Has it been longer than 22 days?
It's been 177 days.
(He's a romantic guy.)
What do you call her?
I call her "Honey".
(He calls her girlfriend Honey.)
(Screaming)
(Everyone is shocked.)
He dropped the bomb.
(It makes everyone cringe.)
Gu Ra has a daughter-in-law now.
- Don't say things like that. - I know that...
my dad worries...
if I break up with my girlfriend,
people might talk about how I used to...
call her Honey and how happy my dad used to be.
If I'm afraid of negative things that might happen,
I can't date anyone under these circumstances.
I'm trying to be in a relationship like any other high school students.
It has been my dream and I will keep pursuing that.
That's how I'm dating.
Do high school couples call each other Honey?
- Of course. - Yes, they do.
They call each other Honey or Sweetie.
They call each other Honey.
Can you come up with something original?
Don't you like that nickname?
- No, I don't. - What would you recommend?
Where does she live?
- She lives in Gimpo. - Where in Gimpo?
- In Gurae-dong. - Gurae-dong?
Is that so?
(Stop worrying about it.)
Sometimes...
on weekends, Dong Hyun calls me.
He says, "Dad, I'll be home with my girlfriend."
- "Please don't come home early." - We need a place to hang out.
- That's right. - One time,
I was sitting on a bench on the street.
That's a complete lie.
He made it up.
- Please go on. - I was sitting there for a while.
I go home late so they can hang out.
One day, he called me and asked where I was.
I said I was right in front of the house.
Right then, I saw him running out of the house.
He was walking his girlfriend home.
- I didn't want to startle them. - You pretended you didn't see them.
I pretended I didn't see them.
- You just let them go. - I didn't know about this.
It's a true story.
He wanted his son to enjoy the date.
He didn't want to interfere.
Won't you show her to your dad?
- Any time. - I will.
You seem very confident.
You don't mind to open up about your private life.
It's not like that. I just didn't understand this culture.
I don't understand why celebrities should hide their relationships.
That's him.
(He's a good example.)
He always does it.
(I don't hear anything.)
(He pretends he can't hear anything.)
I heard you gave your agency owner a hard time because of this.
You said you would go public like Beenzino.
- He went public with this already. - Right.
You're not going to say who she is.
I won't share her identity but I can say that I have a girlfriend.
That's what I meant.
You don't want to reveal who she is.
You shouldn't. You'll be in trouble.
- It's not good for my girlfriend. - That's right.
Shannon, would you go public if you have a boyfriend?
Honestly, I couldn't understand that.
Celebrities are careful when they're in a relationship in Korea.
In other countries, it's different.
That's right.
I wouldn't mind but...
when we go out on a date,
he doesn't want us to be caught in cameras.
My ex-boyfriend was like that.
I guess you dated a celebrity.
She keeps sticking to...
the fact that he's a celebrity.
- It's from her experience. - Right.
You revealed an important information.
- It's okay. - Are you sure?
- She doesn't mind it. - I'm okay.
You don't mind?
- We should be in love. - That's right.
It's normal that I meet boys at my age.
Dong Woo, what about you?
Do you have a girlfriend? Be honest.
No, I've never been in a relationship.
I received private tutoring when I was in middle school.
The tutor came to my home.
- Did you like the tutor? - Well...
- Really? - No, it wasn't the tutor.
The tutor who taught me...
also taught someone else...
- and she was the girl I liked. - I see.
I was appearing on a TV programme back then.
She wrote a note for me. She said...
she enjoyed the show I was on.
She wrote it on the cover of the textbook.
- Really? - Yes.
- On the cover of the textbook? - Yes.
- Please, go on. - It's a new way of confessing love.
- We stayed in touch for a while. - I'm worried about my son.
What's wrong with it?
- They're innocent. - That's right.
I guess she was my fan.
However, it didn't work.
- Love by Kumon. - Yes, love by Kumon.
(Love by math)
What did your girlfriend say when your song topped the chart?
She was very pleased. She jumped and shouted.
- That's what I liked. - I get it.
- She was happy for me. - It's not like pleasing your dad.
I liked it when Dad was pleased and...
I was also happy that my girlfriend was happy for me.
(Girlfriend over Dad)
He looks upset.
- I totally understand. - So do I.
I want to say something. I was criticised by the public...
a while ago but...
once my son comes of age,
- I'll find someone. - That's right.
I meant to ask about that.
How did you feel when he said that?
- I didn't mind. - Really?
He should date if he meets someone, and so should my mum.
- Both of them. - You've grown up.
- I think so, too. - You've grown.
He's grown so much.
I trust him to keep his word.
- This is Radio Star. - I think it's good to be in love.
- Let's go on dates together. - As double dates?
We're quite progressive, aren't we?
(Radio Star strives to be a leader.)
Did your father guarantee that we'd play your music video?
Yes, ever since I released the song.
- You play a music video at the end. - We do.
You played G.Soul's "Far, Far Away".
- Dad said he'd play mine. - Did our crew...
- Did they agree? - Did the producer say yes?
- It's not like that. - They're shaking their heads.
- Did you talk to them about it? - No, I did not.
- What? - What?
What?
- Are you expecting them to play it? - No.
It's not like that. I've never asked for such a favour.
I told him if he asked me to play it, I'd put it in the request.
Did you ask him?
He said, "I'll play it for you."
He promised, then.
- I didn't. - You abuse your power.
All the singers from Mystic Entertainment...
including PARC Jae Jung, Park Ji Yoon...
We played all their music videos.
The same goes for him. Ye Sung, Super Junior...
We played their music videos.
- If he were to ask... - So...
- Did you discuss about this? - Listen.
His song was released recently. I haven't mentioned it to them yet.
- You look disappointed. - I'm not.
It means that he was all talk.
I didn't say anything.
Should we play it or not?
It's fine. We don't have to.
- Don't play it. - Then play "A Million Pieces".
Your song is more like powder now.
- Powder? - We can't find it.
- It turned into powder. - It's hard to see like particles.
- It's powder now. - Keep it short.
- It's powder. - More like minute particles.
(Only people with keen eye can see it.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, "Radio Star".
We're with five people chasing their dreams regardless of age.
Let's listen to songs about their dreams.
I can guess what song MC Gree chose,
but let's listen to its excerpt anyway.
(He's shy.)
Didn't Simon Dominic sing his own song?
(Mc Gree's "Nineteen" is his debut single.)
- Well... MC Gree. - Yes.
- Did you write it? - He composed it, too.
- I did it with Primeboi. - No wonder you picked it.
It's the first song released in my name.
Dong Woo, were you upset when people said you look like MC Gree?
I heard your mum was upset.
Okay. This is what happened.
Like most mothers, my mother thought...
that her child looks better than others.
Dong Hyun had a bowl haircut and he was auditioning for child roles.
- You were look-alike. - Indeed.
- You looked alike. - Where did you get this?
This is such an old photo.
- When was that taken? - I like this photo. I'll keep it.
- Cut it in half. - Can I?
- Yes, you can. - I will, then.
When MC Gree first met Dong Woo, his look-alike,
he said you looked stupid.
I wore glasses at that time.
You can't say someone looks stupid.
- It's okay between friends. - It's better to say...
- he looked mentally challenged. - That's worse.
- You're mean.
- His mum... - Don't say that.
Dong Woo's mum will be watching.
- Isn't that better? - No.
He looks normal. He's not mentally challenged.
Friends can say it to each other...
but an unrelated adult shouldn't say that.
In our time, we couldn't say words like "stupid",
but we teased others about being foolish.
It's okay for friends to give each other nicknames.
- They tease each other. - What was your first impression?
- It's not a nice word, though. - What did you think?
I just thought, "Oh, he's the boy people say that looks like me."
- We became friends immediately. - We did.
He slept over so often.
- I did. - He did.
Even if they stayed up late, I never complained.
- I never yelled, "Go to bed!" - He didn't.
I went, "Do you want fried chicken?"
That's what I was like...
- even if they stayed up until 3am. - That's true.
That's something you should mention.
Must I say so myself?
I was just about to say but no one asked.
(No one asked him.)
- Let's... - Let's hear him sing.
It's MC Gree's first performance of his debut single.
- "Nineteen". - "Nineteen".
"Nineteen".
I'm a rapping machine
Lee Kun Hee would've bought me.
You can dislike me or hate me, but I will rise.
Are you jealous? Go away.
(We wonder if he has changed.)
(He looks serious.)
(Why is my premonition never wrong?)
(If this is a hint, when will the real thing happen?)
(I did what I liked and ended up here)
(He's watching the monitor out of concern.)
(I think it was the day I was born)
(I am my father's son, I'm Kim Gu Ra's son)
(Would I be more like my friends if he were Kim Hyun Dong?)
(Don't worry, I'm doing what I like and I know I look good)
(His gestures seem more natural now.)
(The tape on his ear is noticeable.)
(I'm still young)
(But everyone wants me to be mature)
(He worries that his son might commit mistake.)
(It's all about success)
(That's what I want)
(He's serious.)
(Even I'm a positive man)
(I was shaken up)
(I was distracted when the divorce was announced)
(When there were reporters at our door)
(I realised people are cruel)
(We all wear...)
(a wet coat)
(It makes us feel cold but we're afraid to take it off)
(The lyrics tell his life's story.)
(19-year-old MC Gree is now a true rapper.)
(The white tape still distracts us.)
(I still wonder what success is but I'm too young to define it)
Thank you.
(He improved in two years.)
Well done.
I was so afraid you'd mess up the lyrics.
- I was so afraid. - I can...
sing this song in my sleep and still not mess it up.
I practised a lot.
- You did well. - Well done.
I need to get better.
- Let's do this. - Oh, that?
(What was that?)
(That was a jab.)
Why did you punch my fist?
Were you trying to hurt him?
(I don't know about hip-hop.)
Shall we listen to the song Shannon chose?
It's "Listen".
This means she's going to perform.
I expect to hear a dolphin shriek.
(Beyonce's "Listen", from the soundtrack of "Dream Girls")
Shannon, why did you pick this song?
I was very frustrated shortly after I came to Korea.
I was told to practise singing Korean songs.
It stressed me out so much that...
I'd turn off all the lights and sing it in the dark.
This song gave me a lot of...
strength and courage to go on.
MC Gree, you'll turn 20 next year.
Is there something you want to do when you become an adult?
- When I'm an adult? - Is it about your girlfriend?
No.
I want to live with my mother and take care of her...
- when I'm older. - Your mother?
I want to live with her.
- Is this new to you? - No.
- We discussed it. - Yes.
Will he move out when he grows up?
We will say our farewells this autumn.
- Really? - Yes.
- Not forever. - I will move out of...
the house that we lived in.
- Will she move in? - I will move out.
- Did you talk about it? - Of course.
He will come over to sleep with me once a week.
- My bed... - Maybe not.
I'll live with my mum.
How often do you see her?
- We meet up every day. - I see.
She runs a store and I go there to see her.
I'll live with her soon and I'll just visit my dad.
- So you'll live with her. - Yes.
Once a week,
- you can come over and... - Not for the night.
Will you share a bed?
I'll give you a room.
Then, maybe.
(He's smiling but he looks sad.)
Shall we listen to Shannon sing?
(She skips right to the high notes.)
(Current situation: 6 out of 8 are captivated.)
(Now, 7 out of 8 are captivated.)
(All eight are captivated.)
(Heading straight for the high notes)
(He looks so serious.)
(She hit it.)
(He's surprised and he drools.)
(Just like when she sang alone in a dark room, )
(she's engrossed in the song.)
(We're nearly there.)
(Her voice is clear and loud.)
(He turns around to watch.)
(She gives it her all to the end.)
(This girl can dance, act and sing.)
(This is what she does best.)
"Listen".
Go on "King of Mask Singer".
You are fantastic.
- "King of Mask Singer". - Definitely.
She's such a good singer.
I hope you find the perfect song for you.
Do you want to give her one?
Maybe. Check your email.
(Check your email.)
They say age has nothing to do with success.
Seeing you care about nothing but your dreams,
and seeing you strive for them...
made me want to shout this out loud.
Age? Why does that matter?
Why does age matter?
(Giggling)
- Thanks for joining. - Thank you.
We will say good-bye here. See you next week.
- Please! - Please!
(Even after taping, Gu Ra didn't ask us to play "Nineteen".)
(We wanted to play Kyu Hyun's "A Million Pieces" instead, )
(but we couldn't find it in the MBC library.)
(We offer our condolences to the missing pieces.)
