Hip hop Cash King.
(It is Dok2's first appearance on a talk show!)
(And he reveals about his extravagant possessions.)
(The mood heats up as the hosts desire to work with him.)
(Kim Bo Sung, the man of loyalty, has swag.)
(Korea's youngest married idol reveals his secrets.)
(The young husband overflows with fatherly love.)
(All of these will happen on this week's Radio Star.)
(Even the editing will be full of swag.)
("Turn Up" special starts now.)
Today, we're here with four men with swag...
whose lives have been transformed.
This is "Turn Up" special.
This person is an example of someone whose life is transformed.
He was a 13-year-old boy who lived in a container.
He made his own fortune and moved into a 200m² penthouse.
As someone who only finished primary school,
his success is an inspiration.
He looks like a bad boy,
but he's not into alcohol and cigarette, he eats yogurt instead.
He's a gentle Buddhist. He's Rapper Dok2.
Turn up.
- Dok2. - Turn up.
For 30 years, he tried to establish himself as the man of loyalty.
Thanks to Lee Gook Ju, he finally became successful two years ago.
But the bubbles disappeared in just a blink of an eye.
He's trying to re-establish his fame...
by acting in a romance movie for the first time. Kim Bo Sung!
Here we go again.
(Everything is about loyalty!)
Am I that easy
He was a member of U-Kiss,
but he suddenly retired from the entertainment industry.
Last fall, at the young age of 22, he announced his marriage,
and he's life changed for the better.
Don't you have to work for a long time to retire?
- Isn't it more like an early leave? - He retired at the age of 22.
(He took an early leave.)
He's Korea's youngest married idol. Dong Ho.
He's the married idol.
He's the hottest person on different variety shows.
He's got good looks, but instead of appearing in...
movies or TV series, he wishes to succeed in variety shows.
He dreams to be the next Hong Jin Kyeong.
- He's Model Joo Woo Jae. - Welcome, Woo Jae.
Welcome.
Hello.
He's got lots of bling-bling.
Please greet our viewers. Dok2, let's begin with you.
- Hello. I am Dok2. - Okay.
Okay.
What does the number "808" mean?
Is it the name of the hangover drink?
No. It's Hawaii's area code and...
It could be that.
There's a drum source that's called "808".
If you're a variety show star, you have to throw these jokes.
But you didn't know what it was.
(I'm busted.)
Bo Sung, please say hello.
Hello!
Long time no see, dear Radio Star viewers.
- By the way... - Loyalty!
(He is frightened.)
How many times will you do that today?
I was very quiet when I came in because I wanted to be polite.
- Can I come in again? - Please do.
- Why would you do that? - I'll come in again.
Why would you bother doing that?
- There must be something. - Yes.
- He's coming in. - Loyalty!
(He gets shocked again.)
Loyalty of "Radio Star"!
- This is what I wanted to do. - Today's going to be tough.
I felt like he was...
an Indian action movie star.
(His hair and sideburns perfectly match.)
- By the way, Bo Sung. - Yes.
- We talk on the phone, right? - Yes.
Your actual voice is a little thin.
- Me? - Yes.
That was the thin voice.
I can make my voice thin.
His actual voice is thinner.
Why do you exaggerate and make your voice sound thick?
I can make different types of voices.
You watched me in "King of Mask Singer", right?
- I can make my voice thin and... - Can you make your voice thin?
Hello.
(He makes a nasal sound.)
- That's not it. - Gu Ra,
how have you been?
(He's happy after revealing the truth.)
Please say hi, Dong Ho.
Hello, everyone. Long time no see. I'm Dong Ho.
- Welcome. - He's still young.
- He's a father, but... - He's married now.
- You were born in 1994, right? - Yes.
- You were born in 1994. - You know,
now that he has a child,
- he looks more mature. - Right.
He's a big baby.
Really. His breath still smells like milk.
(He's an innocent 30-year-old.)
Please say hello, Woo Jae.
Hello.
I am Joo Woo Jae, who wants to be nominated for...
(He's got a radio DJ's voice.)
the Rookie of the Year Award this year. I'm an unambitious man.
You want the award, but you say that you're not ambitious.
Where do you usually work?
- He's a model. - In Seoul.
Right. In Seoul.
Those kinds of jokes won't get you nominated.
(He's still relaxed.)
Dok2, this is your first appearance on a talk show, right?
- Dok2. - Really?
You said you won't go on a variety show, but you're here.
Then what does that make us?
In my standard,
it's more like a talk show.
- A talk show. - A talk show.
How about "I Live Alone"?
- That's a reality show. - A reality show.
He's got his own ways of distinguishing things.
He's got his own ways.
What is your standard of a variety show?
You have to run.
- "Running Man". - And do missions.
- "Dream Team". - "Infinite Challenge".
Those are what I consider as variety show.
- There're many shows you can join. - Yes.
(I'm going to take over the variety show industry too!)
Dok2 once said he's not a celebrity.
Then what do you consider yourself?
- A composer? - I am just a rap star.
- A rap star. - A rap star.
- He's a rap star. - That's a celebrity.
He knows exactly what he is.
- He's a movie star then. - Right.
There is no single celebrity here.
I am a musician, right?
There's no celebrity here.
- It's strangely convincing. - We have a gossiper here.
And a backbiter.
(He's a gossiper and a backbiter.)
Dok2 is MC Gree's role model.
People who are into hip hop love Dok2.
- Everyone loves him. - Everyone loves him.
I heard MC Gree's "Nineteen" really surprised you.
- Yes. - Please give honest comments.
I'm sure you were surprised in different ways.
- Yes. - Was it terrible?
I got positively amazed.
I see.
First of all, the way he incorporated his identity...
into his lyrics was impressive.
Any advice?
Will you produce some beats for him?
- You want me to produce a song? - Yes.
He's sleeping at home right now.
At this hour?
Do you want us to wake him up?
He's sleeping after the finals exam.
Did he study all night yesterday?
He's hoping to study theatre and film.
I don't know what has gotten into him.
Recently, he's getting lessons in Sinsa-dong.
By taxi.
The taxi fare costs about 60 dollars.
(You went to study, right?)
Since Dok2's here, I have to be my best self.
My children and my wife love him so much.
I heard your family was more excited to have you here.
By the way, did you get hurt while exercising?
No. No.
- He just covered his tattoos. - Right.
I see.
(Laughing awkwardly)
(He's unbelievable.)
When it comes to Dok2, we have to talk about his cars.
Recently, he bought two super cars.
- By any chance, did you buy... - What are those?
that car from brand S?
- No. - What's that?
- You wouldn't buy it, would you? - He owns much...
- much better cars than that. - I could have, but...
- But he didn't. - Right.
That car suits older men.
That car is not for a hip hop musician!
That car has no swag!
- Hey. - Of course it's a nice car.
- But it suits you. - Hey.
What's wrong with that car?
- It's not that there's a problem. - Even the name is "Chairman".
What's wrong with being a chairman?
- You see... - Is it the brand R?
- Aren't you the chairman? - Oh, the brand B.
- He's the chairman of Illionaire. - All right.
(He owns brand B's car which costs about 500 thousand dollars...)
(and brand F's sports car which costs about 300 thousand dollars.)
Ferrari and Bentley.
(His two cars cost more than 800 thousand dollars!)
- It was a birthday gift to myself. - To yourself.
People don't give me gifts.
- That's why. - Not even small gifts.
That's why I always give myself a gift every year.
How many cars do you own right now?
I own seven cars now.
- I'm getting rid of some. - It says here...
that even Jang Dong Gun and Kang Dong Won had to wait...
three years to get the car, but you bought it right away.
Yes, that's what the dealer told me.
I saw the car a day before it was released. The dealer said that...
- the two had already visited. - It must be a rare model.
That's not the case.
- You have to wait long to get it. - You have to wait long.
- You see... - They don't produce many.
Jang Dong Gun and Kang Dong Won are the top celebrities,
but the dealer thought he was a bigger customer.
- That's why... - I always...
talk about my cars in public.
Right. He promotes the car.
I take pictures with it and posts it online.
I always take pictures of it.
- That proves he's still innocent. - Right.
He's very innocent.
What did you ride today?
I rode Bentley today.
The Bentley.
I rode the best one there.
(He rode the best model of Bentley.)
Do you want to switch cars with me?
- What's your car? - Chairman.
- I see. - Chairman.
- I could lend it to you...
on an important day.
- Can you lend it to him? - Yes.
He lends his cars to his close friends.
- But you highly value your car. - My son Dong Hyun...
will get his driver's license in November.
- Can he practise his driving on it? - For practising?
- He will practise driving... - He'll practise with Bentley?
- You might get bankrupt again. - That's ridiculous.
I am just joking.
It's possible.
I am just joking.
Where did you buy the necklace? At Jongno?
No, it's from a brand.
- It's a very popular brand. - So did you get it at Jongno?
- No. - No.
He didn't get it in Yeji-dong.
He thinks everyone goes to Yeji-dong for gold.
That place is only for wedding presents.
He thought you got it at a jewellery shop there.
- I get some from there too. - Really?
I feel like I'm interpreting their conversation.
- I didn't get this at Jongno. - Not that one.
Is that a pure gold?
There's a gold bar here.
- Do you want to touch it? - Sure.
- It's very heavy. - Doesn't it hurt your neck?
Yes. That's why I put a pain relief patch.
(He's funny too.)
You're good.
- It's heavy enough to hurt him. - It has diamonds too.
I have to be in the shoot for a long time.
Bo Sung, you like wearing accessories too, don't you?
I see you're wearing a necklace inside.
I have a necklace.
- Is it silver? - It's a tiger.
- Is it silver? - Yes.
(He puts it back.)
Are you ashamed?
No. No.
He keeps shoving it inside.
(He's a shy guy.)
Bo Sung, did you come to Radio Star...
because you wanted to promote your film?
Well...
Please be honest.
- Please be honest. - I will...
I will be honest.
- It's my first romance film. - Romance film.
I'm an action actor, and I tried doing romance.
It's about a struggling 40-year-old breadwinner...
who gets excited as he reunites with his first love.
It also portrays a 40-year-old man's agony and sorrows.
It's about those things.
Is it an affair?
An affair...
His heart just flutters when he reunites with his first love.
But he already has a family of his own?
- He has a family, right? - Is he married?
Right. He has a very loving wife.
- So it's not right. - It is an affair then.
I don't do anything with her.
- My heart just flutters. - It's one-sided love.
But in a broader sense, it is considered as cheating.
The movie delivers...
a message of hope for men in their 40s.
Everyone can relate to the story.
Hope that you can find your fist love?
Speak only if you're over 40.
Is that a movie about finding a friend?
I am not in my 40s yet.
The title of the movie is "I Love School".
I have the storyline here.
A formerly popular action actor in his 40s receives...
- an offer to star in a movie again. - Wait.
By the way, isn't the leading character too much like you?
It's like this.
It surpasses the boundary of fiction and nonfiction.
Is it based on a true story?
It's not. The script wasn't really about me.
I was just following the script, but some people think that...
You said you liked it.
Because it's about a formerly famous action star...
who goes through hardships.
Some people think it's my life documentary.
Some people think that way.
- But I was true to the script. - Is the character loyal like you?
(He laughs.)
Does he wear sunglasses?
There is a scene where he wears sunglasses.
- There's a bit of action, too. - What's the title of the movie?
- What's the title? - "Analog Human".
How does that give hope to people?
It's... Wait.
An ordinary love lacks love.
You need to gamble your life to find true love.
And towards the end of the movie, there is a line,
"Do you know what real love is?"
You do that too there?
I grab his collar.
- Whose collar? - There's an abusive husband.
He's the abusive husband of my first love.
"Do you know what real love is?"
"It's about forgiving its pain."
"Or else it's not love."
- I turn back and leave. - I feel like I've seen everything.
I have known the entire story.
- That's about everything. - He spoiled everything.
Isn't that a spoiler?
(The leading actor spoils the story himself.)
By the way, I hope it will be shown in many theatres.
They were able to get only three theatres.
- Three theatres? - Three theatres?
How can that happen?
Three...
My last film, "The 5th Execution"...
was shown in 36 theatres.
"The 5th Execution" was screened in 36 theatres?
Other theatres were all occupied.
- It was a ten-million-dollar movie. - Yes.
Fedor was in it. Then how did they get their money back?
They didn't get it back.
So they lost all that money?
- It became quite a hit in Europe. - Really?
- People recognised me in Europe. - Where?
- Because of the movie? - Where did you go?
I went to France to shoot another variety show.
The camera crew operated a Helicam without permission,
and the police came.
The production crew and I went to the police station.
The police officer had seen my movie.
We were supposed to pay thousands of dollars of fine...
- He's a problematic guy. - That's corruption.
I was wrong.
That's not what I did.
Wait. That's not it.
- The police... - That police officer is corrupt.
He had seen me in a movie.
When I shouted "loyalty",
- he shouted it with me. - Corruption!
(It's more like "corruption" than "loyalty".)
(They're amazed by Woo Jae's wit.)
Corruption!
You should exercise.
He's too thin.
(Dok2 drops a joke.)
That rhymed.
He's a rapper.
(The rap star is witty.)
The movie you starred in...
has good intention,
but the other actor caused a problem...
and became very popular.
I heard you have a lot to say about this.
Because of this, you often appeared on media...
in an effort to file a defamation case against this person.
Do you know about that?
- Film... - Another actor...
sexually molested an actress during the shoot.
It was about that. And according to rumours,
I was that actor.
- But it wasn't true. - People have misunderstood it.
It was a different actor.
But I think things like that can happen.
In the past, there was a rumour that I was a gang leader...
and that I have 3,000 underlings.
- That's what they said. - That's a lot.
- There was a rumour. - Three thousand underlings!
You only got three theatres to screen your film.
Anyway, about what happened during the shoot,
there is an ongoing trial as we speak.
The other actors are going through the trial.
The rumour that it was me...
spread through text messages. So I reported it to the police,
and the person who spread that rumour is currently arrested.
You see, explaining about it...
and giving excuses...
- is not manly at all. - There's no need to explain.
- This is not manly. - It's just a rumour.
Everyone knows the truth eventually.
By the way, aren't you talking about this because you want to?
I never said I want to talk about it.
- Should we edit this part out? - That's better.
- Really? - Yes.
- Then... - Then...
Do you feel a little sorry?
I should appear a little manlier.
I think I failed to do that.
I shouldn't have talked too long about it.
What is there to talk about anyway?
But it's you who opened it up.
It makes me look petty. There's not even a verdict yet.
Why do you have to look manly?
I always want to look like a great man.
To wrap it up,
the actor who acts as the abusive husband is not that molester.
- He's not. - He's not the actor...
who is getting investigated by the police.
- Okay. - All right.
- You have something on your face. - He explained it.
(He rubs his face.)
It's okay.
He's a macho man, so he doesn't care about that.
(He takes a sip.)
Everyone.
You're a macho man, but you only sip water.
You need to save it!
You have to save water!
They won't always give us water.
I will just drink from a faucet then.
He won't drink like this.
(He spilled it all over.)
- All right. - He's a macho man.
Can we continue?
Don't go to the restroom in the middle of the shoot.
Okay. Okay.
I shouldn't have drunk so much.
(He regrets it right away.)
Dong Ho.
You came out on TV again after three years.
It was shocking.
How old is your baby now?
It's been 42 days.
- He's 42 days. - He's a newborn.
You got married November last year.
And the baby was born in May.
At the time, you made sure your wife was not pregnant.
- What happened? - Maybe they didn't know.
What happened?
Actually, it might sound like an excuse.
We were preparing for our wedding.
We were planning to get married around this time.
Our parents met and we were getting a wedding venue.
That's when we found it out.
My wife didn't want to get married with a big tummy.
She wanted to have a wedding where she's the prettiest.
That's why we hurried and had the wedding early.
I told everyone that we were pregnant.
I told my friends that we're getting married because of a baby.
- But you didn't say it officially. - I was okay with announcing it,
but my wife is not a celebrity.
So people might judge her for that.
- Right. They might judge her. - We were afraid of that.
That's why I had to say...
- that it was not true. - It's not that bad.
- I also think... - Having a baby is not a bad thing.
- My fault is that... - You got married anyway.
I said it wasn't true when in fact it was true.
It's understandable.
- There's nothing wrong. - Of course.
Did you cut the baby's umbilical cord yourself?
- Yes, I did. - How did it feel?
- These days, fathers do it. - What broke my heart was this.
My wife has never gone through that much pain in life.
I told her she'll do well, and we even took a photo together.
But when the labour started, she started to cry.
She begged the doctor to perform a C-section...
because she was in so much pain.
Watching her suffering broke my heart.
- Are you feeling okay now? - No, I'm not.
- Are you in pain? - I'll have a C-section.
- You don't have to. - Please.
- You're doing well. - You can do this.
(He bursts into tears as he watches his wife suffer.)
- Let's try again. You can do this. - Okay.
- You'll be okay. - I'll try.
Okay.
(Dong Ho comforts his wife during her labour.)
- Congratulations. Good job. - You did great.
- You did very well. - Congratulations.
Hi, my son.
After you became a father, you gained a sense of responsibility...
and realised the importance of hard work.
The cost of formula and diapers...
-They cost a lot. - Indeed.
was much higher than I expected.
Are you going to return to the entertainment industry?
I'm hoping to do that through this show.
That's why I'm here today.
- I guess you'll work as a soloist. - I hope so.
In order to make money to raise your child,
would you be willing to be on TV shows...
that most idol stars don't usually appear on...
- such as "Hometown Report"? - He could do that.
- Yes. - Would you?
- Of course. - Are you sure?
The main purpose of being on this show...
is not about the money,
but the chances I can get to support my son from now on.
- That's what matters the most. - I see. He loves his son so much.
Would you appear on "Live Info Show"?
(I'll be on any TV show that I'm invited to.)
Is that so? All right.
Please ask him about that.
- He's excited. - Please ask him now.
Dong Ho, you were so grateful that you wanted to make...
a deep bow to Kyu Hun. Is that true?
- That's not necessary. - I'm not exaggerating.
I said that I wanted to bow to him.
- I told you not to do that. - I know. I mean...
How about he bows to you now?
- No. He doesn't need to. - Let me bow to him.
- I'll make a bow now. - Please don't.
- Let's hear the story first. - Before my wedding,
I thought it would be great if a famous singer...
would sing at my wedding as I used to be a celebrity also.
So, I called Kyu Hyun after a very long time.
I said, "Hello, I..."
- Why didn't you ask Lim Chang Jung? - Pardon?
Lim Chang Jung. He was in the same agency as you.
Please don't cut him off.
- He's telling a good story. - Right. I called him.
He's telling a moving story about Kyu Hyun.
This is the first time a guest has told a moving story about me.
I said that I was sorry that I hadn't called for a long time...
and I was going to get married.
He was puzzled because I was too young to get married.
I asked him to sing at our wedding saying that my wife is a fan of his.
He responded instantly and agreed to do it.
- I was so grateful as I hadn't... - Are you two not very close?
- I text him a few times a year. - I see.
We didn't call each other often.
Kyu Hyun told me this in the waiting room earlier.
What are you going to say now?
- What are you going to say? - This is what you said earlier.
- What is it? - Okay. Go ahead.
- What did Kyu Hyun say? - What is it?
After Dong Ho came by to greet us,
our staff asked Kyu Hyun if he's good friends with Dong Ho.
He said that when Dong Ho asked him to sing at the wedding,
he wondered why.
- I realised that they're not close. - It's true,
but when he called me,
I thought that it must've taken him courage to ask me a favour.
Also, he's my junior singer.
So I wanted to help him out.
Not long ago, Kyu Hyun held a concert in Japan.
My friends in Japan, who are huge fans of his,
asked me to get three concert tickets.
I couldn't ask him another favour.
You don't have to tell that story.
- So I... - Stop telling stories like this.
I said I would treat him a meal later.
He said, "That's not necessary."
"I heard you'll be on Radio Star. You can tell good stories about me."
As that's what he wanted,
I was determined to tell touching stories about him.
- Working with Gu Ra for years... - That's why.
- made Kyu Hyun so sly. - Exactly.
I learnt so much from you.
(He admires Gu Ra.)
"During the interview, Woo Jae praised me so much..."
"that the writer became a fan of mine."
Why should I read this?
They want you to look shallow.
- But it's a good story. - Oh, that's why.
- I wanted someone else to read it. - They want you to look shallow.
It's a good story. Please go on.
- Why do you like me? - "Why do you like me?"
When did you start to like me? What made you like me?
Since I was a child,
I've been fond of music.
I enjoyed listening to the radio.
- I came to know Yu Hui Yeol... - I see.
and Jong Shin.
- I became a fan... - So it wasn't you that he likes.
He mentioned Hui Yeol first.
Hui Yeol is like a child.
He mentioned Hui Yeol first. That means it's not you that he likes.
Don't you think so?
- Both Jong Shin and Hui Yeol... - I expected more from him.
(Jong Shin is upset.)
(I'm just kidding.)
I've idolised these two men...
since I was 14 years old.
First, I fell in love with their songs.
I know each and every song from all of their albums.
You know all of our songs?
We'll see if Woo Jae is really a huge fan...
- of Jong Shin. - All right.
- We'll play the intro of his songs. - You have to guess the song titles.
- Jong Shin doesn't know, either. - I'll guess the answers, too.
- Okay. - Please play the first song.
(The first song)
- I know. - What is it?
- What song is it? - It's "The Night View".
Is it "The Night View"?
(Is it correct?)
- That's correct. - I didn't hear the song.
Jong Shin, it's your own song. You didn't recognise it?
That's amazing.
It's not a popular song.
- It's similar to "Farewell Taxi". - I like this song.
Okay. The next song, please.
I know.
(They only heard the sighing sound.)
- It's "On My Way Home". - Wow.
(Jong Shin is impressed.)
- Jong Shin. - How did he know?
I think this will have a negative effect on Jong Shin.
(This won't help promote Jong Shin's songs.)
He got two correct answers.
The third song, please.
(They listen to the song carefully.)
- Okay. - I know what song this is.
This one is difficult.
- Is this song... - I know.
You only heard two notes.
- How does he know that? - It's "Gift from Yu Hui Yeol".
Is it correct?
(It's "Gift from Yu Hui Yeol") from Jong Shin's 8th album.)
- It's a piano song. - I see.
- He's amazing. - It's the only piano song I have.
- When he had a breakup... - He's amazing. He recognised it.
- It's hard to believe. - Let's try some more songs.
The next song, please.
(The fourth song)
- I know. - Already?
- This one is too easy. - What is it?
- It's not easy at all. - It's "Going To You".
Oh, I see. We have no idea.
- Exactly. - We don't even want to know.
(They don't even want to know.)
- We don't even want to know. - This song is...
- We don't know this song.
We don't even want to know.
This song is from his 10th album titled "Behind the Smile"...
which I think is the greatest album...
- out of all of his albums. - He knows so much about Jong Shin.
There's a female version of it sung by Ock Ju Hyun.
- The song is titled "Coming To Me". - Yangpa sang that song, too.
- She sang for your monthly project, - That's right.
and Ju Hyun's song is included in her album.
- He's amazing. - That's useless information.
- Exactly. - It's a popular song among my fans.
- This is the last song. - The next song, please.
The next song, please.
He wouldn't know.
This song was released in the 1990s.
(It's a very old song.)
Is it "Your Wedding Day"?
That's correct.
(He's amazing.)
The song starts like this. I didn't know
You know the song. You're from the old generation.
- Of course, I know the song. - That's not right.
The intro goes on for a while after this.
- Then I sing, "I didn't know". - That's right.
I knew it, Gu Ra.
You admire me secretly.
(That's not true.)
I don't understand Woo Jae.
- He's amazing. - Those are hit songs.
- I don't understand. - Yes, they're hits.
- I know other songs that weren't... - You know the other songs, too?
I can guess it by listening to the intro,
but I don't think it's helpful to me as they were played just a bit.
(He's definitely Jong Shin's admirer.)
- Dok2 doubles his income yearly. - That's amazing.
In 2013, he earned 500,000 dollars.
He earned 1 million dollars in 2014.
He earned 2 million dollars in 2015.
And your goal is to earn five million dollars this year?
- That's right. - It should be four million,
but he wants to earn five million dollars.
Usually, you get paid for the sound source at the end of the year.
So I thought I could earn that much including the income...
- for December and January. - It's hard to earn five million...
in the Korean music market.
However, this is what I like about Dok2.
He reveals how much he earned.
- He tells the amount of his income. - That's right.
That means he doesn't try to avoid paying taxes.
It was almost impossible for a hip hop musician.
- There are Beenzino, The Quiett... - Yes.
and you in your agency, right?
- Illionaire Records. - The Quiett and I are...
- the co-CEOs. - You two are the co-CEOs?
- I see. - Beenzino is...
- He's an artist under your agency? - That's right.
My son Dong Hyun assumed...
that The Quiett earns less than Dok2.
- Does he already talk about it? - Does he know about that stuff?
- He must've learnt from his father. - Like father, like son.
I asked him.
I asked Dong Hyun,
"How do you think they divide the profit?"
He said, "I think Dok2 gets 60 or 70 percent."
Is that right? Isn't my son sharp?
That's... Yes, it's true,
but I think The Quiett has more cash than me.
- He saves more money than I do, - I see.
- unlike me who spends a lot. - You buy cars and everything.
We met in the plane on the way to the awards, right?
- That's right. - He was sitting next to me,
but I didn't know him back then.
- It was 3 or 4 years ago, right? - Yes.
You didn't hold many concerts overseas before, right?
- I held many concerts overseas. - I thought you didn't.
I saw you fiddling with the lamp...
- in the plane. - Right.
So I thought it was your first time on an aeroplane.
(Jong Shin was proud.)
- I guess it wasn't your first time. - You thought...
It wasn't my first time, but I like...
taking pictures of things like that...
- and posting them on my SNS. - Exactly.
He kept touching things.
Will you leave your necklace here?
No, it was just too heavy. It seemed I should stay here for a long while.
It looks like a prize. If you give it to today's best host,
we'll try harder.
(It motivates the hosts.)
Dok2 spends a lot of money...
to work hard for new songs.
He composed 320 songs in 10 years since his debut.
That's a lot of songs.
He debuted 10 years ago.
In the hip hop industry, there are a lot of unofficial songs, too.
The number of songs I have written is actually higher.
There are 320 songs you have released.
Jong Shin has released 420 songs.
I have written a lot, but it's quite a feat...
that he wrote 320 songs in 10 years.
That means you wrote about two songs a month.
He is a diligent man.
- That's right. - No wonder he earns a lot of money.
I am not sure if I should talk about this.
When Dok2 was in the underground music scene seven years ago,
I got his number.
I called him every day for two months.
- Really? - We were close for a short while.
I told him that I am a big fan and begged for a song.
I called him for two months but never got a song from him.
I now hear that he wrote dozens of songs per year.
It makes me wonder why he did not give me a song.
Since I am not a full-time producer,
I don't often give songs to other artists.
If that happens,
I will have to visit those artists in their studios,
direct and alter songs.
You still don't wish to give me a song, right?
No. Not really.
(He still doesn't want to.)
He refused right away.
He is firm in his refusal.
Be nice to him.
He needs to earn money to buy infant formula for his child.
You earn a decent amount of money.
Then I will buy you infant formula.
Dok2 will buy him infant formula.
- All right. - I will send...
MC Gree to you.
Okay.
Would you give a song to MC Gree?
Sure.
Dong Hyun made it clear...
- that he respects me on TV. - That's right.
- I appreciate that. - Look at his hand gestures.
I feel like I am watching "Show Me the Money".
(MC Gree will get all the passes.)
- He knows his own mind. - He is firm.
He is firm.
Thank you.
Dok2 is the highest-earning hip hop musician in Korea.
Zico is doing quite well. Does he earn less than you?
I don't know.
Now that we are talking about Zico, he goes, "I don't know."
I didn't mean that I don't know Zico.
"Who is Zico?"
"I only know Gaeko."
We can make him look bad with the right editing.
We can make it like "Show Me the Money".
Zico is doing quite well. What do you think?
I don't know.
It was a bit rude.
It was ridiculous.
I have been close to Zico ever since he was young.
Zico.
Who is the second highest-earning hip hop musician?
- I am not sure. - Is that so?
Rappers don't reveal their income.
It's frustrating because no one reveals their income.
It's different in the US.
Every year, a magazine publishes...
a list of hip hop Cash Kings.
My goodness.
I hope rappers would reveal their income.
Gu Ra is the TV programme Cash King.
- That's right. - He is the Cash King.
He is in so many TV programmes.
I will admit facts.
(He has swag.)
Bo Sung.
Your visit to "King of Mask Singer" was the talk of the town.
(Everyone could recognise his unique voice.)
Bo Sung has been loyal for 28 years.
(Bo Sung made everyone excited.)
Since you and your opponent...
had singing skills of different levels,
many people voted for you out of pity.
Are you saying people voted for me out of pity?
Some people did.
- I thought it was out of loyalty. - It could be.
There were many men among the audience.
You danced for the 34 loyal fans who voted for you.
It was for them.
Would you show us the dance of loyalty?
- You should dance with me. - It's the dance of loyalty.
It's the dance of loyalty by Kim Bo Sung.
(He warms up with a smile.)
(His face turns serious.)
(He is expectant.)
(The dance of loyalty starts.)
Loyalty.
(Gu Ra does his best.)
(He misses the beat.)
I am dancing off-beat.
He missed the beat.
(He tries again to follow the beat.)
(He fails.)
(The fast beat makes him give up.)
Okay.
- What was that? - He can't follow the beat.
What was that?
- What was that? - He showed us the dance of loyalty.
I couldn't help...
but dance off-beat.
Do you want to go again?
- Yes, I do. - It won't be necessary.
Here we go again. It's the dance of loyalty.
(He gets ready with the intro.)
The beat is 2 over 4.
(Kyu Hyun is addicted to the dance.)
(I must dance to the beat.)
Loyalty.
That's good.
(He gains confidence.)
Loyalty.
(He was a bit late.)
He cannot dance to the beat.
- His dance move is off as well. - He must be tired.
(It looks like he is doing short track speed skating.)
(Oh, no.)
Loyalty! Loyalty!
(He ends the dance with a cathartic finish.)
Are you satisfied with the result?
It was satisfactory.
(Gu Ra is satisfied as well.)
On his birthday,
Bo Sung wept in front of his birthday cake.
Why did you cry?
Both of my children...
- play football. - I remember them.
They are both angsty teenagers.
- Both of them? - That's right.
They would not sing me...
the birthday song.
They didn't go, "Happy birthday to you."
- That's why you cried. - You must have made them upset.
It seems like I have hurt their feelings.
That's why I wept alone in front of the cake.
You cried when your children were gone.
When they saw me weeping,
they sang me the birthday song later.
(They did it out of pity.)
I heard that you are not close to your children. Why is that?
They entered puberty a few years ago.
My children look lovely when they sleep,
so I gave them kisses every day.
He used to attend every shoot with his wife and children.
Giving them kisses is the joy of my life.
One day, I was in a good mood after a few drinks.
I jumped on my sleeping son to give him a kiss.
- He was sleeping. - That's right.
Since he plays football, he kicked me in his sleep,
- and I fell off the bed. - I see.
They had begun to...
put a distance and refuse my kisses.
They are grown-up.
I was so upset that I expressed my anger.
- I think it hurt their feelings. - It seems that way.
We grew apart after that incident.
- They are big fans of Dok2. - They love him.
My wife does, too.
Bring Dok2's autograph home and make up with your sons.
- I will help in any way I can. - That's right.
Really? To be honest,
I agreed to be on Radio Star...
to befriend Dok2.
I wanted to use him to get closer to my sons.
If you help me, I will treat you as my saviour.
I am begging you.
(He grabs his hand.)
- I will help you. - Really?
Please don't just say it because you are on TV.
He really wants to get close to his sons.
(He even gives Dok2 a hug.)
Thank you so much.
I really want to become close to my sons.
Ask me any favour.
- Really? - Yes.
Would you have a meal with my children?
- Where do you live? - What?
- Where do you live? - I live in Dongdaemun.
I live nearby.
- I will pick you up. - Okay.
I will pick you up.
Please help me.
I heard he was born in the year of horse...
during the break.
I was also born in the year of horse.
You don't wear bracelet for health, do you?
(This is the only thing I can give you.)
I can wear it.
Look at this.
- It has a picture of a horse. - Bo Sung,
he only wears gold jewellery.
He wouldn't match a bracelet for health with gold jewellery.
This is hilarious.
He wanted to give his bracelet, but upon seeing gold jewellery,
he put it away.
I noticed him glancing.
It's a symbol of my loyalty.
- It's my gift to you. - Let me take off my gold bracelet.
- My goodness. - He can put it back at home.
I won't trade this bracelet with yours.
Of course not.
Didn't you hope Dok2 would do that?
- No, I didn't. - Come on.
- I bet you did. - No, I didn't.
It's a bracelet for health.
It improves the blood circulation.
- I see. - It's a bracelet for health.
- Dok2 is helping him bring peace... - That's right.
between a father and his sons.
- Isn't it too big? - I can give you tickets...
- for my concert. - That's a good idea.
Imagine a situation.
It happened with my son, too.
Let's say your sons want to get tattoos like Dok2.
What would you say?
If they...
Answer in yes or no.
- What? - Answer in yes or no.
Would you agree with it?
- Yes. - You would agree with it.
I will if it improves our relationship.
Would you agree to have a dragon tattoo on their backs?
(He is speechless.)
(Answer in yes or no.)
(His hands speak louder than his words.)
Were you going to throw the bottle?
- It looked that way. - I only held the bottle.
(He laughs.)
He loves his sons so much.
Your sons might forgive you after watching this episode.
- He is the saviour... - Bo Sung tries so hard.
of my life.
(He can feel Bo Sung's love for his two sons.)
Your hands are very cold.
I usually run hot.
(This is how important a bracelet for health is.)
All right.
I hope you'll reconcile with your sons.
- Please help me. - All right.
(Please help me.)
(How heart-warming it is.)
Dong Ho has lost one million dollars because of a scam.
- Really? - It brought him closer to his wife.
After I left the music industry, I wanted to buy a house.
My father and I were looking at a villa in Bangbae-dong.
The owner of the house was on vacation...
after giving the key to his house.
The friend and the real estate broker...
came up with the scheme.
- I see. - They let you see the house.
They stored the furniture with the moving company...
and showed me the house. I was told to buy it right away.
They offered to give it for less than its market value.
They gave me the certified copy of property registration, too.
- I couldn't help but believe it. - Of course.
After paying for the house, my family and I moved in.
Three weeks later, someone rang the doorbell and I answered it.
A family of four with luggage asked what we were doing in their house.
- It's like a scene from a movie. - Seriously.
It's like "I Would Like to Know".
- This is ridiculous. - I said,
"I bought the house and moved here last month."
They threatened to call the police.
He was listed as the owner on the copy of property registration.
The real estate broker had fabricated the document.
You let the real estate broker handle the matter.
My family and I were kicked out of the house.
- You didn't find your money. - Who took the money?
The incident helped me become close to my wife.
I went through days of struggle.
- "How am I supposed to start over?" - You were discouraged.
Those thoughts filled my head.
At that time, I was only friends with my wife.
I told her about the incident over the phone,
and she began to cry.
Everyone said, "That's too bad. I can't believe it happened."
However, she cried so much.
She said, "It breaks my heart that it happened to you."
It moved me.
That's how we began to date.
I see.
Dong Ho, you and your wife found out...
about the pregnancy when you were both quite young.
- That's right. - You can calculate the risk...
of pregnancy with menstrual cycle.
Didn't you expect it?
I will tell you freely.
- We were already getting married. - Shouldn't you cover your ears?
- Come on. - Children shouldn't listen to it.
Children shouldn't listen to it.
I don't know if I should listen to it or not.
We had agreed to get married...
and were deciding the wedding date.
- We were a bit inattentive. - That's right.
- You stopped being careful. - We were getting married anyway.
- That's right. - The thought made us...
careless. I don't know if that's the right word.
It's natural to be careless.
- It happens. - We were getting married anyway,
so we became careless.
I woke up one day and the air was chilly.
- What? - Was the air conditioner on?
I checked my phone and saw that I had 10 missed calls.
My wife had called me 10 times. It made me put together...
what had happened.
I threw on a jacket...
and went to her place. She was crying.
After a hug, we talked.
She was scared of the situation.
My life has changed from that fateful morning.
Is she a student?
She graduated from a university. She majored in art.
She is teaching art to children now.
Has she ever made a nude painting of you?
(He cannot believe what he heard.)
Did you really have to ask that question?
Pretend you didn't hear him.
He was talking about how his life changed because of a child.
How could this lead to that question?
- Seriously. - I was only asking.
Since the marriage was on the way,
didn't you foresee the pregnancy?
I know.
I really did not see it coming.
Perhaps, it only happened...
because they are healthy, young man and woman in their early 20s.
There are many unfortunate couples these days.
They marry at a late age and struggle...
- because they cannot get pregnant. - That's right.
A child is a blessing. That's why...
I brought up a nude painting as a light-hearted joke.
It's a blessing.
Now you're just trying to make yourself sound cool.
That's why you asked the question.
Stop trying to save yourself.
He is the king of rap in the modelling industry.
Woo Jae would like to challenge Dok2.
Will he challenge Dok2?
Also, as an honorary inspector of National Police Agency,
Bo Sung prepared a rap which criticises...
the society that is pervaded by crimes against the weak.
I didn't prepare it.
I only wanted to...
show it to Dok2.
- You wanted to show it to him. - That's right.
- All right. - I just wanted to read the lyrics.
- I would not dare rap. - Okay.
It will be a rap of governmental authority, right?
- It comes from my heart. - What about you, Woo Jae?
- I did prepare one. - Let's hear it.
It's a very simple rap.
(Drop the beat.)
Check, check, My name is Joo Woo Jae, Jae
(They freeze at the lack of rhythm.)
Here I am rapping
Dok2? What about him? I don't care
I add fun to Radio Star
I will be the most searched person on web search engines
See me on TV and shout yes, yes
Thank you That's the end of it.
(They are lost for words.)
He has no sense of rhythm.
He was worse than Dong Ho.
It sounded like poetry reading.
- He was worse than Dong Ho. - It was like poetry reading.
It felt like "The Night of Literature".
- Bo Sung, let's go. - Wait a minute.
I am under a lot of pressure.
You can do better than Woo Jae, right?
- He did a terrible job. - You can surely do better.
- May I stand up? - Yes.
All right. Will you do it without the beat?
Yes, I will.
There is a reason why I am focused on loyalty
I don't boast of my loyalty
Friendship comes first Justice comes second
Sharing comes third
Some people are weak and shunned in the society
Help them with me
There are criminals who target women and children
We should keep them off the streets
I will knock them out if I run into them
I will break them
The lyrics are meaningful, but...
Don't live like that
Keep yourself off the street... I need to stop.
Wrap it up.
Listen, criminals who target women and children
If I get my hands on you
I will break you
I will end you
You lack loyalty
- This is never-ending. - Don't lay a finger
On good people
It might as well be a video message.
Wrap it up.
It's my loyalty to good people
(It's over.)
It's finally over.
- "I will end you." - What did you think?
Let's hear Dok2's opinion.
- That's right. - We must hear it.
What did you think about Woo Jae's rap?
It was entertaining.
- He understands the need for rhyme. - That's right.
I don't know what else to say.
- Are you perplexed? - I am perplexed.
What did you think about Bo Sung's rap?
I am not sure. It was not much of rap.
It was more of a shout.
(It was a shout.)
(Thank you.)
Dok2, your family became bankrupt and you lived in...
a shipping container house from the age of 13.
- Really? - I heard that you ate...
uncooked instant noodles and water since you had no money.
Yes. Back then, I was in...
an agency ran by Cho PD.
That was the agency I was in.
However, the agency disappeared and went through a drastic change.
Comedians took the room...
I used to live in.
I was relocated to the container house on the rooftop...
with other hip hop musicians.
- The place... - It became your home.
It became my home.
On the rooftop, there was a cafeteria next to the container.
But I couldn't go there during lunchtime because of other people.
I had to go after lunchtime,
- but they would run out of food. - You were mistreated.
However, there were instant noodles in the garage.
- I ate those as a meal. - You ate uncooked instant noodles.
You went through hard times.
Dok2, were you in an experiment for "Sponge"?
- I think I have seen him. - Yes. I made three appearances.
- He was in a famous experiment. - There is a well-known...
video footage of me.
We have it, right? Let's see it.
- I think I have seen it. - This is Dok2 in an experiment.
It may differ by body type.
(It's the young Dok2.)
There is Dok2.
Oh, my gosh.
There is Dok2.
There he is.
An experiment is being conducted.
He is Microdot.
(He stands up and reveals his bony frame.)
Microdot is pretty chubby.
(He had no idea this video footage will emerge 10 years later.)
- That's Dok2. - He has not changed much.
What a nice video footage.
- He was in "Sponge". - That was fun.
- I enjoyed it. - You looked cute.
Fans keep sending me the video footage.
They refer to it as the dark age of my life, but I don't mind.
It's a part of your past.
- Can they send it to you often? - Sure.
- Can I send it to you, too? - Sure. Message it to me.
(We want more of these old footages.)
To move to the penthouse on the 34th floor,
Dok2 is already living on the 33rd floor of the same building.
I want to move to the top floor, but it's not on sale yet.
- You want to buy it. - Yes.
There is a flat above yours.
It's a lot bigger in size.
(It's even bigger than his flat.)
Have you asked the owner to move out?
He called me not too long ago and said he won't sell the house.
(He's disappointed.)
- He called you. - I think I'll move.
- Is your place in Yeouido? - Yes.
- Hong Suk Chun lives there. - That's right.
- I often see him in the lift. - Suk Chun said that...
since the place has large windows,
- his head feels hot. - He is right.
- It must be hotter for Suk Chun.
- He must feel incredibly hot. - His scalp is exposed.
That's why he says he gets tanned at his house.
(Please give me a way to avoid the sun.)
You have been living in the same flat for two years.
Why didn't you get gas supply?
I really like clothes.
I am sick and tired of my mother...
grilling fish in the kitchen.
The smell gets on your clothes.
- How do you cook your meals? - Do you order deliveries?
I order deliveries or eat out.
- There are restaurants nearby. - That's right.
- I am very sensitive to smell. - I see.
When I smell fish, I feel nauseated.
I was under a lot of stress as a child,
so I have acid reflux.
Is that why you keep saying "Swag, swag"?
(Acid reflux equals swag?)
What does that mean?
- He means... - Forget it.
He asked if "swag" is the sound of vomiting.
- I see. - I see.
Nothing comes out, though.
- I got your joke. - Was that it?
You understood something amazing.
- The sound... - I was so confused.
- It was an onomatopoeia. - I was trying to be funny.
Why's your face so red?
(You're blushing.)
(Post-joke embarrassment)
Dok2, you said that...
you talk about money to give hope, not to show off.
Is that true?
That's what I want to do.
I lived an interesting, different life so far.
I only graduated from primary school,
and I have a lot of ink on my body.
I'm short, too.
Even people like me can be successful.
If you do the music you love.
- If you do what you love. - Yes.
Can I ask how tall you are?
I don't know exactly. My height changes every day.
- People like us don't measure it. - That's true. I don't.
We never mention our height.
- There's no need to. - We don't know our exact heights.
We don't compare and don't want to know.
(We don't want to know.)
Did you really...
give cash to people who came to your concert?
Yes.
I hold a concert every year on my birthday.
- People with the same birthday. - I see.
Or birthdays on adjoining days...
took out precious time to see me perform.
So I give them three times the ticket price.
Right there.
I'm feeling good today, so I'll give you 250 dollars.
(I'll give you 250 dollars.)
(Actual footage from concert)
No way.
(Counting money on the spot.)
I almost counted out 300 dollars.
(I almost counted out 300.)
(Here's your present.)
- That's a fun event. - It is.
- Giving cash. - Do this at your failing concerts.
How can I when my concerts are failing?
(He's losing money already.)
Let's go back to Dong Ho.
You did a bit of acting before your retirement.
Jang Su Won...
became famous by saying, "Are you okay?"
A clip of you saying "save me"...
was all over the internet.
People said I'd ruined a perfectly fine movie.
- Do you remember it? - How could I forget?
- With Yoo Sun. - I saw that.
- We'll play the whole clip. - Really?
Yoo Sun's daughter...
This is insane.
This is it.
(She plays the victim's mum.)
Dong Ho's character hurt Yoo Sun's daughter.
You know who I am.
(She threatens and questions Dong Ho.)
- What are you doing? - Did you...
do it, too?
I just...
I just did what the others told me to do.
They said they'd kill me instead.
I really didn't know what would happen.
Save me.
- Oh dear. - Save me.
(It's almost robotic.)
You kept your pride.
- Yoo Sun's good. - She's amazing.
- She's great. - That was impressive.
- She's incredible. - She cried at Dong Ho's acting.
(Dong Ho's acting made her cry.)
That clip only showed what a good actor Yoo Sun is.
(Yoo Sun is great.)
This is what happened.
We'd taken about 10 takes...
but I didn't look scared enough.
She's a lovely lady,
but she told the assistant director...
- to get a sharp knife. - A real one?
Yes, because the prop won't do. She said,
"Too bad if he gets hurt. We need the scene to work."
That's how we got that.
I was even worse when we shot the scene with a prop.
Really?
Was that you trying to sound scared?
I told myself to feel scared, but...
- You didn't feel it. - I didn't.
Bo Sung, could you demonstrate?
- Of being scared? - Yes.
Say, "Save me."
You meet the mum.
(Flinching)
Save me.
(What's the difference?)
It's not easy. I seemed terrible, but...
Dong Ho isn't threatening at all.
(That's the problem.)
- Someone else has to threaten him. - He isn't scary enough.
- He didn't seem threatening. - The look on his face...
I think that Bo Sung...
A part of it is my personality.
Of course, I'd do it if I must,
say if I'm acting a scene.
(Slowly)
(He grabs the knife and punches him.)
That's it.
- Yes. - That's your thing.
- Sorry. - That must've hurt.
- As an actor... - He's never asked for mercy.
- You've filmed a romance movie. - Hang on.
- He's never said "save me." - Never.
(In real life or in fiction.)
I never want to play such roles.
(A petty excuse)
(I'm loyal to acting.)
Bo Sung's nearing 50,
and he's preparing to debut as...
- the oldest MMA fighter. - He is.
- This is... - A lot of people worry.
- You aren't getting any younger. - Hang on.
I heard about that a year ago.
But your debut match keeps getting postponed.
The agency keeps getting requests to host matches in China.
- That's why. - So some say that...
you said you'd do it, but then you got cold feet,
so you're making excuses.
- That's his opinion. - It's odd, though.
This is what is upsetting.
- Are you still waiting? - "Arm, tooth, weight." What's this?
- I have to lose 15kg. - You should.
- That is a concern. - Okay.
Once I was doing an interview...
and I swivelled around to punch for the camera...
when I noticed it was way too close.
I had a split second to redirect the punch inward.
We all heard a snap.
That's how I injured an elbow.
I can do hooks just fine,
- but straight punches hurt. - It shouldn't.
- I can't reach out. - I see.
I can't reach my full potential.
- I'm only at 90 percent. - You need physical therapy.
I do. And about the teeth...
I had a bet with my manager.
What bet?
I ate chungyang chilli peppers.
He cheered me on and complimented me,
but after that I had a stomach ache.
- At the time... - That's not good.
I tried to remedy that by quickly eating a few ribs...
and I bit right into the bone.
I heard a snap.
Since then, these two teeth...
- Are they wobbly? - Yes.
- Even now. - I'm sure...
that isn't much of a deal when it comes to fighting.
- You'll get a mouthpiece. - But still, they're wobbly.
- It could... - Wobbly teeth...
is an occupational hazard for fighters.
You aren't perfectly ready.
- Your elbow, teeth... - Right.
Will you be okay after therapy?
That's why my wife threatened me with a divorce.
- Don't do it. - She wanted to leave me.
I went down on my knees to beg.
If my getting beaten up...
could save the lives of a few sick kids,
- isn't it worthwhile? - Is it for paediatric cancer?
That's why I'm doing it.
Everything I make and profits from sales...
will go to helping paediatric cancer patients.
- That's the cause. - I see.
- It's for a good cause. - That's why I'm risking my life.
If a lot of celebrities could come,
it could help raise awareness.
Dok2, you could go.
- I'd be honoured if you would. - You want me to be there?
- Where will it be? - We haven't decided yet.
Tell me when you find out, then.
The location is important.
(The closer the better.)
- Bo Sung. - Yes?
Did you get too competitive while smashing things on TV...
- and hurt your elbow? - That's right.
- I threw some punches. - Okay.
Now this knuckle here has sunk.
- That happens. Mine sunk, too. - And this one here.
- It really has sunk. - This one, too.
Once, on "Global Junior Show", I played with nunchaku...
- and blood spewed out. - From your forehead?
I felt so sorry for the kids.
To show my remorse, when I got the stitches,
I went without anaesthesia.
- What for? - Would the kids care?
- Are you sure? - I swear.
- The doctor... - Would they know?
I sat there smiling, looking very relaxed,
and the doctor said it looked as if I'd been anaesthetised.
- I endured it. - Can you...
endure any kind of pain?
- Most pains, yes. - In that case...
- could I pull your sideburns? - Well...
- Good. - That hurts.
What's the point, though? What title do I get?
There is no title.
- You said you can endure any pain. - I can, but...
- I want a title. - There isn't one.
- Let him pull yours in return. - That's a deal.
Promise to come to my match to support the kids.
- I'll be there. - Deal.
- He'll pull with all his might. - Oh, no...
- I'll pull hard. - I can't watch this.
- Let's do this. - You promised.
Don't worry, I'll be there.
It hurts just to look.
Go slow.
- I'll pull sideways. - Yes, sideways.
(The pain of being tugged from either side)
- He did it. - Well done.
He's a manly man.
- He's turning red. - That really hurts.
- You, too, then. - It stings.
- Let's see. - No.
- It really hurts. - Let's see.
Hey! I said it would hurt.
How did you endure that?
All for paediatric cancer patients.
(Loyal to the cause)
- He felt the pain but kept quiet. - Come to my match.
- He can tolerate it. - I promise. I'll be there.
- When is it? - You endured the pain.
- This autumn, I think. - Really?
- If all works out. - Gu Ra's in.
It actually hurt, didn't it?
Well, the pain didn't bother me too much.
The shape of my face did.
(He doesn't care about the pain itself.)
I'm afraid I looked silly.
The pain didn't bother me.
Did you eat a lot of chungyang chilli peppers?
- On TV? - Yes.
I took on the top three contestants from...
the chungyang chilli pepper eating contest.
- For what title? - None.
It was an early-morning talk show.
(It was on MBC.)
I took them on.
- Do the sideburns hurt? - No.
- I'm just... - The skin there is very red.
- It must hurt. - It doesn't.
- It looks bruised. - I'm patting them down.
- I'm tamping them down. - Okay, then.
So, I...
(He finds it funny.)
- Does it hurt? - No.
(He fights for his pride.)
I didn't know this about Dok2.
- Your father's a Spanish-Filipino. - Yes.
Your mother is Korean.
(Dok2 is mixed.)
Did you grow up in Korea?
Yes, but I went to a foreign school.
Were you ever hurt or did you dislike being mixed?
No. I always felt proud.
I'm not sure how this will sound,
but I can't really tell.
- It showed when I was young. - It did.
No one talked to me in Korean.
- Really? - Yes.
My skin was much darker then.
Whenever you go to the US,
are you always stopped by the immigration officials?
- Yes. - Because of the tattoos?
- Yes. And my face. - Really?
I was once detained in LA for six hours.
Even though your papers are fine?
For no reason?
How about the next time you fly...
dress in a grey suit like a public official.
Did you ever consider to look more casual?
They still stop me.
- Really? - Yes.
A lot of gang members in LA are of Filipino descent.
They look exactly like me.
- Do they? - Is that the reason?
They ask what my tattoos say.
- Mine says things like "aloha". - Aloha.
- Or "peace". - Peace.
My tattoos are messages of dream, desire and hope.
They look lost when I read them out.
Do the officials get so touched that they cry...
when they read your tattoos?
Never.
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Today's four guests turned up their lives without anyone's help.
Let's listen to their songs with swag.
First,
we'll listen to Dok2's choice.
(Getting groovy)
- "Still On My Way" with Zion.T. - "Still On My Way".
Why did you pick this song?
It's the only one cleared for broadcasting.
(He's disappointed.)
It fits the theme,
- and it's the only one I can sing. - "Still On My Way". Good.
The hope of all primary school graduates...
released an autobiography.
- It's a photo essay. - A photo essay.
I love to travel,
so it has photos I took...
and messages of hope.
Written by whom?
- Me. - Yourself.
- Did it do well? - A photo essay.
Right now...
it's in the bestseller list of advanced purchases.
- Is it? - What's the title?
"Illionaire Life".
- In which section? - All sections.
It is possible.
What are the novelists doing?
(Write some good novels.)
Novelists...
Novels can't beat an explosive sale like this one.
- I'm impressed. - Me, too.
Let's listen to the song.
- Dok2 sings "Still On My Way". - "Still On My Way".
- He's still on his way. - This is...
Dok2's first live TV performance of this song.
"Still On My Way".
(Only by passion and spirit)
(Yesterday, today and tomorrow)
(I still walk on my way remembering my first time on this road)
(Because I had nothing when I was young)
(I had to hunch my shoulders and stay quiet)
(Because I had nothing to eat but cold water)
(I had to steal anything I saw)
(Please forgive me for what I've done)
(I still remember the time back then)
(The little boy watching outside the window and sighing)
(There was no one beside me)
(Thanks to that, hardships I face are nothing)
(Swag oozes out of the lyrics of the rapper with a 14-year career.)
(Swaying hip hop hands)
(Even the middle-aged man sways.)
(Even with money and fame)
(Even with millions of dollars)
(I'm still the same)
(All I have in mind is my dream and music)
(He's like a jealous parent.)
(My son loves you.)
(Some people say I've changed since I earned all that money)
(I say "Never", my money makes me make music more freely)
(He's relaxed.)
(Charged with hip hop soul)
(Waving until the end)
(The song sings about 27-year-old Dok2's dream.)
- That was great. - Turn it up.
The lyrics...
speak of your own life.
I got that impression.
That was...
a comfortable but difficult beat to follow.
It was great. I liked it.
Was that the first live performance on a talk show?
- I was on "Sketchbook". - On national TV.
You were on "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook",
but this was a first on national TV.
Call me if you need a rapper.
I will.
We can call if we need a rap.
Will we ever, though?
I will.
- I listened to his new song. - Which one?
- "Meaningless". - It came out today.
I listened to it.
- I saw the music video, too. - Did you?
Let's work together.
My son comes first.
- It's competitive. - We're colleagues.
My son comes first.
I texted him already.
He replied, "No way."
- I told him already. - That was great.
Don't make me look like a bad dad.
Let's listen to the song Bo Sung chose.
(Smirking)
- "Man" by Na Hoon A. - "Man".
Why did you choose this song?
As I lived my life,
Sometimes I feel lonely for the sake of loyalty.
I get rid of that feeling by singing this song.
- Bo Sung. - What?
The song suits your outlook on life.
It's the witness account.
Someone posted this.
"I was working at a budaejjigae restaurant in Gwangalli."
"Bo Sung came in with his family."
Do you remember this?
"After a leisurely dinner, he requested a one-dollar discount."
(He chokes on his drink.)
His song's called "Man".
(A manly discount)
"When I agreed, he yelled 'loyalty' and left."
- Do you remember this? - Short and sweet.
- Do you remember? - Short and sweet.
- That was a witness account. - Well...
It sounds plausible.
If the bill comes up to 41 dollars, for example.
It's odd, though.
Instead of these stories,
couldn't someone have posted about the time...
when I fought 10 bullies who were ganging up on someone?
Hundreds of people saw it.
You talked about that yourself.
Do you remember asking for a dollar off?
In my case,
if the total was 39 dollars, I'd give 40 and leave.
- I see. - But?
But...
- Did I do that? - I guess the total was 41 dollars.
Do you admit it? Do you?
I guess I did do that once.
(Give me a discount, fellow man.)
- Let's hear him sing "Man". - "Man".
- The man who got a dollar off. - "Man".
- I gave him the taxi fare instead. - Okay.
That's what you said.
(I demand a discount.)
(He is looking serious.)
(Shake, shake)
I like where this is going.
(Everyone's grinning.)
(He's determined to save a dollar.)
Keep doing that.
I love it.
(Delinquent, criminal, narrow-minded)
(The real man is back.)
Loyalty.
(Respect)
(Sometimes I cried out loud)
(And wavered)
(But I gritted my teeth)
(And laughed like a man)
(I had doubts but I faced them)
(Copying Bo Sung)
(His voice slowly becomes louder.)
(I believed in this world)
(He's practically shouting now.)
(Hey, my old friend)
(I believed in you as well)
Loyalty.
(He's still emotional.)
That was true to his style.
- I've known him for a while. - He's good.
Keeping the same character for a long time like him or Heung Kook...
- is hard. - It is.
They can't change.
I am and always will be there.
Today's show was the Turn Up special.
As you turn up your life,
we got to talk about your connections.
Your confidence in yourself.
Your belief that everything will turn out well.
And the steps you take to go forward.
That's why I like you.
- Those are your connections. - You're all connected.
I hope your lives all get turned up.
We will say goodbye here.
- See you next week. - Please.
Please.
