It's always better when we're together, Happy Together!
Hello.
It's good to see you all.
These days, there are many foreign entertainers...
- who work in Korea. - Yes.
- That's right. - There are so many of them.
Starting from Bo Chiang and Bruno,
there are Ida Daussy, Robert Holley,
Sam Hammington and Sam Okyere.
The entertainment industry has become international.
- That's right. - Bo Chiang and Bruno debuted...
- in Korea in the early 2000s. - That's right.
It was rare to see foreigners on TV back then.
- Indeed. - Right.
(Who are Bo Chiang and Bruno?)
- Many foreign musicians also... - Do you know them?
No. I don't know them.
- Really? - Why don't you know them?
- You're of the same generation. - I'm too young.
- No way. - You're not that young.
I can't believe you.
She asked me if Bo Chiang would be here earlier.
(They enjoy teasing her.)
- Oh, my. - Don't act like an idol star.
Foreign entertainers will be here with us today.
Let's first meet the ones who already became popular.
Please welcome...
Henry, John Park and Kang Nam.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi, Kang Nam. - Hi, John.
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Hi, Kang Nam. - Welcome.
Please come here.
He just spoke Japanese.
They have already become stars in variety shows...
- in Korea. - Right.
Henry Lau, John Park...
and Nam Kang.
I was just kidding. He's Kang Nam.
Now, it's time...
to introduce you to the new foreign stars.
- Please come out. - Hello.
- Hi, Sana.
- It's nice to meet you. - Hi, Sorn.
Welcome, Cheng Xiao.
(She's Sorn from Thailand.)
- Please come here. - It's nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
- They're so pretty. - My goodness.
(She's the star of "Cheer Up".)
(She's Sana of Twice.)
(She's a rising star in the music industry.)
(She's Sorn of CLC.)
(She's the fighter of girl groups.)
(She's Cheng Xiao of Cosmic Girls.)
(They are aspiring entertainers.)
The set has been changed.
- That's right. - It's completely different now.
- It used to look like a sauna. - I liked it.
- You did? - Yes. You have a new host, too.
- Who? - Hello.
Hello.
Hello. I'm Henry.
- He's a gentleman. - I'm sorry, but...
- this is not a blind date. - I know.
I'm telling you this as you might misunderstand.
- There are 4 men and 4 women. - Oh, that's right.
We didn't mean to pair you up though.
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
It's not meant to be a blind date.
Please don't get the wrong idea.
As our today's guests are from foreign countries,
it'd be great if they say hello in their mother tongue.
- That would be great. - Henry, please say hello.
No. Ladies first.
(He's such a gentleman.)
Just go ahead and do it.
- Why? - What's wrong with you?
- Please calm down. - Just do as they ask.
Please calm down.
- Okay. - Kang Nam is right.
- Please do as we ask you. - Exactly.
They will introduce themselves after you.
- Stop pretending to be a gentleman. - Right.
This is not a matchmaking TV show.
- I didn't mean it like that. - Just do it.
(He's acting as if he's on a matchmaking show.)
- Let's go. - Okay.
Where should I look at?
- It doesn't matter. - Should I look at them?
- No, look at the camera. - Just look at the camera.
- Why would you look at them? - Look at the camera.
- Why do you keep yelling at me? - Just do it.
Look at the camera over there.
Sana, laughing at his jokes will give him a wrong idea.
- He'll think you like him. - That's right.
Don't laugh at his jokes.
I'm afraid I might look like a weirdo on TV.
- I'll stop. - This is your last chance.
Okay. I'll do it right this time.
This is not the first time.
You acted like this whenever you appear on this show.
(It's his 5th time on this show.)
You didn't have to say that.
Just do it now.
Okay. Which camera should I look at?
- When will you begin? - Look at that one.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm really happy to be back at Happy Together.
My name is Henry. Thank you very much.
- He's cool. - Please say that in Cantonese, too.
In Cantonese?
(Hello, everyone. I'm Henry.)
(I'm happy to be here.)
- He's cool. - He's cool.
You speak three languages.
- Yes. - He's so cool.
(He's charming.)
John speaks English, too.
I heard him speak English a few times on a TV show.
His English sounds a little awkward.
- That's not true. - Oh, I see.
- My English is good. - Everyone says...
- that you can't speak English. - John.
Why don't you take English classes in the morning?
- Everyone says that. - That's ridiculous.
He can't speak English?
- He can't speak English. - His English isn't good.
- He can't speak Korean either. - Henry told us.
- My goodness. - What he meant is...
- as I haven't spoken English for long, - That's why.
my English got rusty.
- You got rusty. - I see.
I speak English twice a year whenever I meet Henry.
- Is that so? - Yes.
The variety show's staff...
has doubts about your English proficiency.
They often talk about it.
They asked me to be an interpreter on their shows.
That's how they found out about your English.
What?
- They were shocked. - Prove us wrong.
- They found out he wasn't good? - That's right.
- Please introduce yourself in English. - In English.
- Please start. - Okay.
Hi, my name is John.
I'm John Park.
- What was that? - Is that all?
You should say things like...
- how happy you're to be here. - "My name is John."
- "I'm John Park." - Speak a little longer.
My name is John.
The... The...
- He can't speak English. - Hold on. Hold on.
- The vibe here... Okay. My name is John. - Slowly.
- Relax. It's okay. - The vibe here is very nice.
It's very nice to see all these people.
Especially...
It sounds like President Obama's speech.
He spoke awkwardly.
- That wasn't good. - Just say what you really feel.
- Okay. John, take a rest. - My English is rusty.
- He needs a break. - Jae Seok just spoke in English.
- Take a rest. - "Take a rest."
- Take a rest.
- Up next is Kang Nam. - Kang Nam.
(It's Kang Nam's turn.)
(Hello, I'm Kang Nam.)
(Happy Together is...)
(The Japanese word sounds like "psycho".)
- Did he just say "psycho"? - It means "the best".
He said Happy Together is like a psycho.
Did he call us psycho?
- I said "saikou". - What?
- I said "saikou". - "Saikou"?
- It means "the best" in Japanese. - "The best"?
- It means "the best" in Japanese. - I think...
- we're biased against Kang Nam. - What do you mean?
He spoke in Japanese, but we had to ask Sana...
- if he said it right. - Why would you do that?
- I'm sorry. - Could you speak a little longer?
Okay. I'll do that.
(Hello. Happy Together is the best.)
(I'm looking forward to having a great time with all.)
(Saikou! The best!)
- Is his Japanese good? - Was it okay?
- How would you rate him? - His Japanese is good,
but when he said "Happy Together",
he pronounced it like a Korean.
That's ridiculous.
- It's true. - Happy Together!
- Happy Together!
- She pronounces it differently.
- Sana, how do you pronounce it? - Happy Together.
Happy Together.
- This is so frustrating. - Calm down.
- How long has she lived in Korea? - Please sit down.
Happy Together.
- She pronounces TH as J. - That's right.
That's not how we pronounce it. She must be Korean.
- Goodness. - What are you talking about?
- Happy Together. - He called me Korean.
- Please calm down. - No. Please continue.
How do Japanese people pronounce "together"?
- Together. - Like that?
- Together. - Oh, it's different.
- What about native English speakers? - Really?
- I think Sana is right. - She is?
- I think she's right, too. - Together.
(Hello, I'm Sana of Twice.)
(Let us all cheer up and have a great time together.)
- She's good. - She's better than you.
- It was good. - She's better than you.
- Her pronunciation is better. - She was right.
Her pronunciation was perfect.
- That's not true. - She was perfect.
- Thank you. - Her gesture made her sound better.
No way. She didn't do it like that.
Her gesture made her sound better.
Is Kang Nam a good senior entertainer for you?
He's a very talented entertainer in Korea.
But when I talked to him, I realised...
- his Japanese wasn't as good as mine. - I see.
(She's better at speaking Japanese.)
You should hang with Japanese friends sometimes.
- His Japanese is not so good? - That's right.
He's better than me as an entertainer,
but I'm a little bit better at Japanese.
Up next is Sorn. Please say hello in Thai.
- In Thai. - Right.
- Should I look at this camera? - Sorn.
Son of CLC.
(Hello, I'm Sorn of CLC.)
(This is my first time on Happy Together.)
(I hope you enjoy the show.)
That was good.
- She's good. - That was amazing.
- She's really good. - Her pronunciation was amazing.
(Hello, I'm Cheng Xiao of Cosmic Girls.)
(I'm happy to be on Happy Together today.)
(Go for it, everyone!)
(Have a happy day.)
That was great.
She was good.
Her pronunciation is good.
How would you know that?
Come to think of it,
it's as if I were introducing myself on foreign TV,
and the host compliments me...
on my Korean skills and says...
"He's so good at speaking Korean."
- It must feel like that. - That's right.
I just realised that.
I realised that I was being silly.
We invited Henry, John and Kang Nam...
out of all the foreign stars...
- for a special reason. - That's right.
The three of them have something in common.
They have a few great things in common.
They've been working in Korea for over five years.
Now they're very popular entertainers.
- They all have unique characteristics. - Right.
Each of them has unique characteristics.
- "Neck slice." - "Neck slice."
I still don't understand why that is funny.
- It's funny. - What was the situation?
I said "Neck slice" during the military training.
The expression is used often among English speakers.
- Isn't it... - He doesn't know.
- Right.
- He doesn't know that. - When you looked at him,
- he got flustered. - John is a naengmyeon lover.
- He's baffled. - John just loves Korean food.
- He's just a naengmyeon lover. - That's right.
He made me nervous.
Our today's guests are all foreign stars...
except for John.
- Don't be pressured. - Right.
Oh, right.
- I created a new popular expression. - Really?
- But people don't know. - Then, how is it popular?
- Then, it's not popular. - I mean...
- Exactly. - They don't know it was me who made it.
- I see. - What's the expression?
"I don't understand one thing."
- What's that? People say that a lot.
- People use that on the internet. - I created that.
- Really? - Is that true?
I used that expression on "Real Men".
Does it mean you don't understand at all?
Young people use that expression on text messages.
- Haven't you all used it? - I have.
You're the first person who used that expression?
- Yes, I'm the first one. - Really?
- Is that true? - I wanted to brag about it.
Congratulations.
He's a talented entertainer.
- There's something Hyun Moo didn't tell. - Really?
I found out...
the three of them were on Happy Together in the past
This is Henry's fifth appearance on Happy Together.
It's Kang Nam's 4th time and John's 3rd time.
- They appeared on this show a lot. - This show...
was the first variety show Kang Nam appeared on.
That's right. I had long hair at my first appearance.
- That's right. - I remember that.
We all complimented you...
- for being a good entertainer. - For being funny.
You didn't say that.
- He didn't? - He didn't say anything like that.
- He was harsh on me. - He didn't even say hi, right?
He's very strict with newcomers.
Everyone knows how strict he is with newcomers.
Although it was his first time, he was so funny.
- I did a good job, didn't I? - Yes, you did.
Kang Nam, what are your special talents?
I can imitate animal sounds.
Which animal?
- Duck sound. - Duck sound?
- That was amazing. - It's just the beginning.
Imitate a dog this time.
This is how a small dog barks.
- How about a big dog? - A big dog barks like this.
A big dog.
Hold on. Bring his agent here.
- Imitate a lion this time. - What was that?
It was fun.
Henry, wasn't Happy Together your first variety show?
- That episode became very popular. - After that,
he was ranked the top on the internet hit list.
- For two days in a row. - That's right.
She's definitely my style.
(He makes a shocking remark.)
I told you not to say such things on TV.
- Don't you know how he acts in reality? - No.
- He's just like this. He's a playboy. - In reality?
What? Oh, my goodness. Stop!
(Oh, my goodness. Stop!)
They both became popular through Happy Together.
- That's great. - I love Happy Together.
I was ranked the top on the internet hit list, too.
Is there a reason why John appears on this show often?
They invite me whenever they need a foreigner.
He suddenly speaks like a foreigner.
- He sounded so funny. - You're not a foreigner.
- Look at his facial expression. - I'm a foreigner.
You speak Korean better than English.
That's true.
Henry, why do you think you were invited a lot?
I don't know why, but I hope I'll be here often.
What is he talking about?
That wasn't what I asked him about.
Why do you think you were invited a lot?
- I said I didn't know. - All the three of them...
They give unrelated answers to the questions...
- very often. - That's right.
- They do that often. - But they're still charming.
All right. We're with three foreign entertainers...
who just debuted in Korea. So please help them out...
- as their senior entertainers. - Okay.
Tandoori chicken here is very good.
- It's funny. Don't make that joke again. - Good job.
- No way. - I can't believe my eyes.
You're not drunk, are you?
Go, John! Shy, shy, shy!
- Shy, shy, shy! - Shy, shy, shy!
Let's talk with the newcomer entertainers.
Sana, Sorn and Cheng Xiao.
Sana, how long have you lived in Korea?
I've lived in Korea for four years.
- Four years? - I see.
Have you also learned Korean for four years?
Yes, I started learning Korean when I moved to Korea.
Didn't you speak Korean at all before that?
No, not at all. I took Korean lessons once a week.
- I also... - You learned really fast.
When I had free time, I watched variety shows...
and take notes for expressions I didn't know.
I've lived in Korea for four years, too.
- Four years? - Whenever I went to a studio,
I had to tell the staff I'm from Thailand.
Or else, all the staff members would think...
that I'm a biracial Korean.
- You're that good at speaking Korean. - I think...
- Sorn's pronunciation is really good. - Indeed.
- She speaks like Korean. - Thank you.
- She does look mixed. - I do?
You look like you're half angel.
(You look like you're half angel.)
- What did you say? - Half angel, half human?
- Are you kidding me? - You shouldn't do that.
- Be quiet. - I meant to say that at some point.
- You shouldn't do that. - I'm sorry, but...
- How many more lines do you have to say? - Goodness.
Wasn't it good?
- Please stop doing that. - But it was good, right?
Please stop doing that, Henry.
I was supposed to blush to hear that line,
- but I didn't feel anything. - She didn't blush.
She only looks pale.
- She looks pale. - She didn't feel anything.
What about you, Cheng Xiao?
I think they speak Korean much better than me.
She hasn't lived in Korea for long.
- How long have you lived in Korea? - For two years.
- Only for two years? - You learned really fast.
- I'm jealous. - Me, too.
If you can choose your mentor among these three men,
who would you pick?
I would choose Henry.
What do you want to learn from him?
He's a successful entertainer in Korea,
and he debuted in China, as well.
- I want to become like him. - He debuted in China?
I heard you had debuted in China.
If you need any help...
- She can talk to you? - just let me know.
How do you talk to each other? Get her number?
- No, just... - We don't have mobile phones.
She's protecting herself.
- It's not like that. - Of course you have it.
I think he really likes girls.
- He does. - He does.
That's what Amber said.
- How about you, Sorn? - Since I'm a foreigner,
- I'm scared of going on variety shows. - Yes.
I feel pressured.
But Henry was so confident,
- and I was fascinated by that. - He was fearless.
I appeared on a variety show for the first time...
six years after my debut.
- It was very difficult. - Yes. Right.
First time is always hard. If you are confident...
on the first time, you can improve. Am I right?
- Who are you? - There's no reaction.
Myung Soo is planning for a new show.
It's called "Park Myung Soo's Sitting Room".
- It's strange. - That's the title.
- That's the most unappealing title. - Yes.
It's called "Park Myung Soo's Sitting Room".
It's a very serious show.
He will have serious talks.
Happy Together is a really hard show for you to be on.
How does it feel to be here?
(How does she feel to be on a difficult show?)
- Why ask her that? - How can you say that?
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Let's thank him. - Thank you.
(Let's all thank him!)
- What's wrong? - I've been a guest here four times.
- Have a seat. - I managed it.
It's hard to come here as a rookie.
It's a major variety show, you see.
Please don't say things like that.
I'm saying it myself.
I'm saying it because you can't.
How does it feel to be on Happy Together?
- I am really fascinated. - Is that right?
I've been watching it...
since you were doing it in a sauna.
I've been watching it since I was small.
- Is that right? - Is that right?
- It had Thai subtitles. - It was dubbed.
- It was dubbed! - Yes.
How does his dubbed voice sound?
It sounds like his nose is blocked.
He sounds like this.
Can you do it again?
(She mimics Jae Seok's dubbed voice.)
(His voice is light and frivolous in Thailand as well.)
- Gosh... - How about me?
How does it go?
- Hello, everyone. - An angry voice.
- Yes. - That's funny.
So they dub according to our characters.
Your voice depends on your appearance.
- Appearance? - Appearance.
When you saw us on TV, what did you think of us?
You looked like a really nice person.
- How about Myung Soo? - A difficult person.
- I... - So that's how we look on Thai TV.
Why would they make my image like that?
It's an accurate image.
I'm nicer than Jae Seok.
I am just trying to survive here.
Can you say our opening line in Thai?
"It's always better when we're together."
"Happy Together".
- That's it. - It's Jae Seok's opening line.
- Okay. I will give it a try. - Okay.
"It's always better..."
(She holds her nose first.)
("It's always better when we're together!")
(She perfectly mimics Jae Seok.)
That's very much like you.
That feels like when we do...
"Hello. Hello." That's how it feels.
- Hello. - Step right up.
(He sounds like a DJ in Thailand.)
- That's how I sound. - It sounds...
- Right. - Sae Ho would be good at it.
- You should lip-sync. - Please do it.
(The happy meeting of Thursday night...)
(will beat the scorching heat of Thailand.)
(Happy Together starts soon.)
(It's always better when we're together!)
(This is exactly how it sounds in Thailand.)
Isn't there someone who looks like him in Thailand?
- Yes, there is. - Right?
- There is. - He's Korea's best show host.
- Yes. - Is he considered handsome in Thailand?
- Be honest. - Well...
(We understand.)
But he looks like my maths teacher.
- Maths teacher. - How is it?
Is your maths teacher popular in school?
No, he isn't.
(The maths teacher is not popular in Thailand.)
- She's funny. - Sorn is good.
- She's really funny. - She's funny.
- Sorn did it. - Thailand gets 20 points!
What? What's that?
- Isn't it a competition? - It's not.
- John, please say that in English. - It's easy.
- He was practising. - I'm curious.
Happier together on Thursday nights. Happy Together.
(It sounds rather boring.)
Happy Together, Thursday, Happy Together.
I'm sorry, but...
That's too easy.
We're happy when we're together!
You should've made it longer.
- You didn't mention being happy. - Happy.
- Happily. - Happy Together?
Happy Together. Being happy together.
- You did it together. - I'm sorry,
but getting upset doesn't do it.
- Get a tutor. - Yes.
You need "Ladies and gentlemen."
Of course.
I did a little research about Sorn.
There's a rumour that she's royalty.
And that her parents are really rich.
She dresses like a royalty too.
- This dress? - That's right.
Tell us honestly.
In the past, my father worked with the president.
Was he like the Chief Presidential Secretary?
(Her father was the Chief Presidential Secretary.)
Her family is quite famous in Thailand.
In Korean expression, her family farts a lot.
We used that expression 30 years ago.
- Farts a lot? - Fart?
- Why would they fart? - We say that.
It's the expression Myung Soo uses.
Ordinary people can't just fart anywhere.
But her family is confident to fart anywhere.
- Again? - They can fart?
Her family farts a lot.
- Fart? - Fart.
Everyone farts though.
Just fart then.
Fart! For goodness' sake...
It's my first time hearing that expression.
Gosh...
He got really frustrated.
Fart as much as you want.
- Your family is well-off. - How many rooms...
- Your house must be big. - do you have?
- There are about... - Is there a hallway too?
- 10 rooms. - 10 rooms?
- She's rich. - 10 rooms?
Including bathrooms.
Maybe we've been rude. Perhaps you are a princess?
I am not a princess. I'm not that rich.
Wait. Aren't you a princess?
(Is she the princess who works as a singer?)
Maybe that's how you normally dress?
- Maybe you're a princess. - No. No.
- Maybe she is. - My Lady.
- "My Lady".
My Lady.
(They bow in front of the power.)
You're trying to benefit from her.
Your Lady.
The one who's really rich is...
- Nichkhun. - Is Nichkhun rich?
How rich is Nichkhun? We don't know.
How rich is Nichkhun?
He never talks about it on TV.
But everyone in Thailand knows it.
Why are you working in Korea?
I watched TVXQ's concert once.
- That's why... - I thought it was amazing.
- That's why you came here. - Yes.
I told my parents that I had to go.
I told them I couldn't live in Thailand.
But you're their only daughter.
- Yes. - Oh, dear.
But my parents let me go.
They just told me not to cry.
Isn't your father scary?
He's close to the president.
That makes him a scary person?
The president scares him.
I'm scared of the president the most.
How was he? Was he okay?
He was... Actually,
my elder brother used to be a singer.
- In Thailand? - Yes.
- There was another singer. - 30 years ago.
- It runs in your family. - It does.
I am curious. I think of Nichkhun first...
when I think of Thai people.
Is every Thai guy handsome like Nichkhun?
No.
Not a lot looks like him.
- There's nobody like him? - No.
- Yes. - Is that right?
Do most people look like us?
(Do they look like them on average?)
There are many handsome people...
- in Thailand. - Yes.
There are some, but they're all celebrities.
My Thai friends asked me...
if they can date someone like Song Joong Ki here.
That's a huge misunderstanding.
I told them that it's hard to find a guy like him.
(They are miraculously handsome.)
They are hugely mistaken.
- I know him. - Who?
Joong Ki.
- I see. - We had worked out together.
Apparently, Thai girls love Korean soldiers.
- Yes. - Because of the drama?
Yes. It was very popular.
I told them honestly.
I had performed at military bases.
And the soldiers were nothing like them.
Some are handsome people, but...
- There are. - There are, but...
But there's no one like Song Joong Ki.
How did you feel when you went to perform?
I thought I'd have fun, but...
I almost cried because it was so scary.
- They shout like this. - When we performed,
they shouted "You're pretty!"
You're pretty!
- You're pretty. - CLC.
- You're pretty! - Gorgeous!
(They unite.)
(They are scary.)
- Go, CLC. - Go, CLC.
It's their way of showing their love.
- It must be scary. - They react unbelievably.
- Right. - Their energy is...
- Truly amazing. - Have you done it too?
- Yes. - Perform in front of soldiers?
Usually, fans sing along...
only on certain parts of the song,
but soldiers sing our songs loudly from start to end.
Don't they go, "shy, shy, shy"?
- Shy, shy, shy! - Shy, shy, shy!
(We will call it until we die!)
They have to sing from start to end.
I was with my friend, shy, shy, shy
(Her "shy, shy, shy" is so charming.)
She's so charming.
(The soldiers react to EXID's performance.)
(Up down, up up down)
(They move in unison.)
(I love you, Girls!)
(They are special reaction forces.)
The soldiers got unbelievable energy.
- I do events at army bases. - I see.
- You do? - Girl groups perform first,
and then I come out next. And they go...
(They jeer at him.)
(Go away, man!)
- I'm sure he's popular. - I got really hurt.
(The performance was tough.)
It was really hard.
- They don't want to see you. - There's no need.
It will make you come to your senses.
Gosh...
Sana is...
very popular in Korea.
But I heard nobody recognises you in Japan.
We haven't debuted in Japan.
So when I'm back home in Japan,
only my parents recognise me at the airport.
How does it feel? Doesn't it feel...
sad that only your parents recognised you?
How does it make you feel?
It is sad.
It's the perfect time for tears.
It'll be very helpful if you cry right now.
(Will her tears increase the show's rating?)
Look there and say "Mum."
- That was so random. - She's right there.
- Mum! - Mum!
(Speaking in Japanese)
"It's nice to meet you, Mum"?
(Is she not close to her mum?)
Gosh...
(Myung Soo's Sitting Room Part 2 ends.)
(This show will close down soon.)
Sana is here today.
We have to see her "shy, shy, shy".
- Shy, shy, shy! - We must.
We need to see it.
(She's cute from the start.)
I'm sorry
I was with my friend, shy, shy, shy
(Shy, shy, shy)
(She's shy.)
Later
(They are Twice fanatics.)
(And...)
(so is he.)
(She aims to take over the world.)
But I will show you more
(Cheer up baby)
- Cheer up baby - Cheer up baby
Cheer up a little more
(They are as passionate as the soldiers.)
I can't give my heart so easily
Cheer up
(Her loveliness is incomparable.)
John is good at these kind of dances.
Really?
I want to see it.
- He's really good. - Show us.
- Just play the music. He'll do it.
- He practised this morning. - He's so good.
I heard you are a dancing machine. Music, please.
- He's good. - He's the American Idol.
(John and Sana's "Cheer Up")
(This is nothing.)
Shy, shy, shy
(Shy, shy, shy)
(He's shockingly cute.)
Do more. Do more.
You have to end it nicely.
My agency won't like it.
- That's not true. - Just one more.
(Actually, this man...)
(he sings about love...)
(with his sweet voice.)
(He's a sentimental singer.)
- Cheer up! - Give them the music.
Stretch your arms.
(John Park, 29, a singer learning how to dance.)
Here we go.
(He looks like a shy girl.)
Shy, shy, shy
(Shy, shy, shy)
(He doesn't look so shy.)
(Sana is so lovely.)
(He flails.)
Here we go.
(He does the sexy move.)
- Here we go. - "Cheer up baby".
Here we go. 1, 2, 3, 4.
(His charms explode.)
(I'm better than girl groups.)
(John Park the Dancer is born.)
Well done.
(Do you want to join a girl group?)
- John. - You're good.
You're good.
- Sana. - She's good.
Sana just lied. I heard it.
She said, "You're good."
You're good.
He did well.
Gosh, Sana.
All right, Cheng Xiao.
How famous are you in China?
I recently went to China.
And I could freely walk on the streets.
There were no fans at the airport?
There was none.
Who are your role models?
- Any singers? - Victoria is my role model.
- Victoria. - Victoria.
We have a lot in common,
I was actually a dancer before I came here.
- You learned how to dance. - Yes.
- Is Victoria a dancer too? - Yes.
I want to meet her one day.
There is something...
she can do as well as Victoria.
You need to show everyone.
What is it?
- I am a dancer, you know? - Yes.
So I can split my legs.
- Really? - Yes.
Can you split your legs?
- Can you? Try it. - Yes.
(Victoria was on Happy Together.)
(She's stretching her legs.)
(She's relaxed.)
(Can you do this, Cheng Xiao?)
Can we see it?
(She even changed her clothes.)
Wow.
Let's beat Victoria.
I will do my best.
(She's determined.)
- Let's go! - Awesome!
- That's nice. - Be careful.
(She moves lightly.)
(Her legs make a perfectly straight line.)
Here's the second one.
Will she tumble?
She might tumble without touching the floor.
(She splits her legs.)
Oh gosh!
(She still maintains her pretty smile.)
Isn't she a Chinese acrobat? Are you okay?
- Please do another one. - Another one?
- Here we go. - Be careful.
Don't get hurt.
- That's unbelievable. - Another one.
Wow!
(She tumbles to the other side.)
I heard Cheng Xiao...
ties her shoelaces in a strange way.
- People usually do this. - Right.
If my shoelaces get lose,
- Let's say it got untied. - I walk over...
(This is how she ties her shoestrings.)
That's what Victoria does.
(She raises her foot high.)
Victoria does that too?
That's more convenient.
- Go! - Go!
(She will show us a Chinese dance...)
(which made her flexible.)
She's beautiful.
(Her movements are delicate...)
(yet...)
(powerful.)
(Her elegant movements...)
(mesmerise everyone.)
(Men are in love with her.)
- John is also good at these things. - It's...
- Really? - Just give him music,
and he will do it.
John is good at traditional Chinese dance.
- I was really surprised. - Get ready.
- John Park. - By the way, Kang Nam...
- should be careful when he goes home. - I'm sorry...
He's going to end the friendship.
Begin.
(He takes off his slippers.)
(He dances without the shoes.)
John is amazing.
(He starts by drawing a circle.)
He's good.
That looks amazing!
(John the Dancer doesn't disappoint us.)
(I will become a bird...)
(and fly away.)
He's like a national treasure.
(He could be...)
(a national treasure.)
(This is his interpretation of her dance.)
He's so inflexible.
(Sana praises him insincerely.)
John is good.
(He has got everyone's attention.)
John!
(That's how strange his moves are.)
Good job.
(John the National Treasure)
That was good.
I'm thankful to John.
- I thought he was great. - He never says no.
- He just does it. - He didn't have to do it.
He really didn't have to do it.
His new song was just released. He's a singer.
You won't get sad if it gets edited out, right?
I hope it will get edited out.
You hope.
(We're playing it twice.)
Sorn, is there anything you're good at?
I don't have many special talents.
I can make a guitar sounds with my mouth.
- Really? - Yes.
- How? - I used to play the guitar.
- Guitar? - Please show us.
I can do Super Mario's theme song.
- Really? - I will do it.
(It's the Super Mario's theme song.)
(She moves her hands as if she's playing a guitar.)
(What is...)
(this?)
(Oh, dear.)
(She's so into it.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
It's...
You're not drunk, are you?
I've seen a lot of people show their talents,
but this one's going down the history.
(It was something worth recording in history.)
Everyone was so embarrassed for her.
We couldn't even stop her.
It was very painful to hear.
Can you do another song?
- With her mouth guitar. - Something popular.
- It's guitar solo. - I like guitar solos.
I've never seen somebody do this.
She's so good that I'm flustered.
Let me go.
(This is embarrassing.)
(Let's go wild!)
(Her playing...)
(will irritate your ears.)
What does your agency say about this?
You had a trial run, right? What did they say?
It's good she did it. If that was me,
I would've been like this in front of the producer.
(He needs time to reflect on himself.)
I'm sorry.
- I know. - I'll watch out.
- It's good she did it. - Hey, John Park.
- He's the original. - He's good at this.
- I've seen him do it. - This is his.
- Really? - If you don't mind can you show us?
Tell me how to do it.
There was a competition in the US,
- and he got a gold medal. - He was on American Idol.
John is here today to promote his album.
- Really? Was he on it? - John,
when you promote your album on shows,
people usually ask you to display different talents.
You appear more on variety shows than on music shows,
it must be fun, but does it bother you sometimes?
- I'm already past that stage. - Really?
- I've accepted it. - Good for you.
That's fine.
- Something will work out. - That's a good attitude.
It's too late, anyway.
You've come too far.
That was a good one.
- It's too late. - When will his album be released?
- On 15th. - On 15th? Is the title track decided?
Yes, it's out in public now.
You should play the melody with the guitar sound.
- Guitar sound? - You should.
We can't be obvious that we're promoting it.
- I'll do it. - You can promote it indirectly.
(He starts right away.)
The tune is good.
(He's serious.)
You're good at making the guitar sound.
- Really? - It sounds like an electric guitar.
Can you imitate a trumpet?
What's that?
- Can you do a trumpet? - Can you?
He can do it.
You're making fun of me, right?
- No way. - It's actually really good.
Didn't you know?
- The three of them are bad. They're bad.
- They're bad. - Can you try a saxophone?
So I don't get to promote my album again?
- You should do it. - Let us hear it.
- It's called "Thought of You". - "Thought of You"?
The melody is light and the lyrics are lovely.
Let's hear it.
(He turns on his singer mode.)
When I open my eyes in the morning, I think of you
("Thought of You" by John Park)
When I look out the window, I think of you
- It sounds good. - That's the part you were doing.
(You'll think about this...)
(whenever you hear the song.)
(No way!)
Sorn, I heard that there's a dance that Thai people do.
- What is it? - If you attend a wedding,
everybody dances.
- Can we all learn it? Yes, we can do it together.
Can you show us?
- I'm curious about it. - What do you call this?
In Thai, it's called Sayo.
- Sayo. - Yes, it's Sayo.
The theme of this dance is serious.
- You have to look serious. - You do.
- So you can't laugh? - No, you can't.
Okay.
(Would this be a girl group dance?)
(She's serious.)
How's she doing that?
(You have to bounce.)
You can't make people laugh.
(She's serious.)
How do you do this without any facial expression?
Is she not smiling?
- She's not smiling. - How's that possible?
- What's this about? - She's not smiling.
Even if there's a fire, she would act the same.
How could she have no expression?
(Sorn has the best poker face!)
(This is for me.)
You can't smile.
- So there's no expression. - You keep a poker face.
- John must have liked it. - It's not hard to do.
The Sad Face is good in these type of dances.
(The Sad Face?)
The Sad Face? Are you talking about me?
I was wondering who that was.
- What's he saying? - She's good in these dances.
Come on, Sad Face. She's good at these things.
- She has such a long neck. - Dance with her.
- I'll do it with you. - Should it be like this?
- John, I think you'll be good, too. - Right.
- Should we do it together? - He can do everything.
He's been doing these things for years.
- You can do a poker face, right? - He's good at it.
(He already has a poker face.)
- They're good. - Look at John!
- Wow! - Look.
(This dance is perfect...)
(for the Silly and the Sad Face.)
- Don't laugh! - You must not.
- You're done if you laugh. - Hyeon Gyeong is good.
- John is using his left hand. - He's good, too.
- You can't laugh. - They're switching hands.
- Faster. - You have to stick your neck out. Good.
Stick your neck out. Good.
(He's steady.)
You are doing good, John.
(He's still steady.)
(Even when others ridicule him,)
(even when they try to tempt him,)
(even when they try to annoy him,)
(he does it well.)
It's a piece of art.
Is John angry?
You're almost done.
Good job.
(They're almost finished.)
(She bursts out into laughter.)
You can't help but laugh while doing this.
(He's the one who can hold the laughter.)
- This is addictive. - Yes, right?
(This will be the next big hit.)
How could you do this with a poker face?
Do you have anything, Sana?
You know, Japanese kids play this clapping game.
- I can do it fast. - How does it go?
- Do you know it? - What is it?
I'm good at it.
- Can you do it? - It's a children's game.
- Can you do it fast? - Yes.
Start out slow.
(Follow my lead.)
- They're so fast. - My goodness!
They're amazing.
(This is not fast forward.)
My goodness. They're amazing.
(They show perfect teamwork.)
Is this the first time you did this together?
- Yes, it's our first time. - It is.
- For real? - That's amazing.
- Can all Japanese people do this? - Yes, they can.
This is the first time I realised Kang Nam is Japanese.
- Exactly. - This is the first time.
Kang Nam is really Japanese.
I can do the Korean version with Hyeon Gyeong.
- We have something similar. - Right?
The Milky Way is in the sky, There's a white canoe
and a rabbit sitting by the cinnamon tree
(It makes her sad face smile brightly...)
(and his cheeks shake.)
By the cinnamon tree
- That's our version. - Wow!
- They're good. - They are.
- You can move this fast? - Of course.
- That startled me. - We had to show you.
This is the song you clap to.
When you first came to Korea,
what caused you the most trouble, Sana?
- My Korean wasn't good. - Language problem?
- Korean is difficult to pronounce. - Pronunciation?
Ng and n sounds are difficult to pronounce.
- It's difficult for Japanese. - Consonants are hard.
I still can't pronounce "monkey".
- "Monkey". - "Monkey"?
- You're good. - Let's do it one at a time. "Won".
- "Won". - "Sung".
- "Yi".
- "Wonsungyi".
- "Wonseungyi". - I see what the problem is.
Is there anything you can't pronounce, Sana?
- I can't pronounce butt. - Butt?
- I can't do it. - "Ung".
- "Dung".
- "Yi".
- "Ungdungyi". - "Ungduni".
These words are difficult to pronounce.
- Ng sounds are difficult. - What was it?
There's Cho Yong Pil's song...
called "Let's Go on a Trip". It starts like this.
I sang it, "The green butt".
- "The green butt". - That sounds interesting.
- "The green hill" - I was serious...
but people got mad at me. I can't do it.
From what I heard, it's the same with Sayuri...
but I heard that your Korean is actually good.
People say that your Korean is fluent.
For instance, although you can sing "The green hill",
but when people look at you, you sing "The green butt".
Sayuri spreads rumours like that.
- Sayuri does that? - She does.
Her Korean is better than mine.
(He also spreads a rumour about her.)
Have you heard her say something that surprised you?
- Was it something hard? - Can you give an example?
She's totally Korean, even when she swears.
- It comes from deep within. - How does she do it?
- He said she swears. - It comes from here.
We'll cut it out. Say it.
(Put your shoes on.)
(She explodes like an active volcano.)
From what I see, she's purely Korean.
I thought Sayuri's Korean wasn't good.
When she's on TV, she says, "Hello, I'm Sayuri."
When she's not, she lets everything out.
- Really? - When you see her,
- she's so good. - It's a mystery.
I suddenly miss her so much.
Is there something you can't pronounce, John?
- I don't think so. - I think he does.
- He's fluent in Korean. - Exactly.
There's nothing.
(I'm an expert in Korean language.)
- There was one occasion. - There's nothing.
- John is... - Comparing to you he's an anchor.
I heard you went to an academy for anchors, Kang Nam.
- Yes, I did. - Did you?
The CEO at my agency was bad.
He...
brought me to Korea...
but my pronunciation was bad.
We recorded a song, but I couldn't pronounce properly.
When he heard it, he said if I can't do it in a month,
he'll cut me. So he told me to study at an academy.
I paid with my own money...
and held a pencil in my mouth to learn.
Did it improve your pronunciation?
It did. I couldn't even say my name properly.
- Kang Nam. - You used to say, "Kan Nam".
I used to say "Kan Nam". I said, "Hello, I'm Kan Nam."
You can't do it. Try it.
Kang Nam.
She's so good.
She can do it.
- Why would you do it right? - She was so calm.
She sounded like the recordings in Korean textbooks.
- Kang Nam. - It's difficult.
She said it without any emotion. "Kang Nam".
She sounded like Anchor Baik Ji Yeon.
My goodness.
- In Gangnam, Seoul... - Kang Nam.
The apartment will be redeveloped...
I heard you look up things about living in Korea.
I heard you call the help centre a lot.
I call them whenever I have a problem.
- What do you say? - For what?
- What is it? The oven... - When it's not working?
I don't know what to do when something doesn't work.
I don't know who to call.
- Who did you call? - I called 114.
You can call 114?
They tell you what you can do.
- It's not 114. - The number is different.
It's 120.
- The number can be confusing. - What do you mean?
The number for Dasan Call Centre is 120.
In Japan, 120 is the number for police.
- I see. - I got confused and called them once.
- What did you say? - I asked them a question.
They said, "What are you saying? We are busy."
Japanese police officer said that.
I'm sorry to say this, but...
I suspect that he made up this part of the story.
In Korea, the first thing you hear is,
"This is police station."
(Kang Nam stops Sae Ho.)
(It shows that Sae Ho's words are true.)
- Stop. - Kang Nam made the story up.
- He admitted it. - Stop.
- He made it up. - In this industry,
we forgive a bit of exaggeration.
- That's right. - You have no manners.
I only knew because I had done it myself.
I am sure even the viewers were understanding.
- He wanted to shine. - I am sorry.
This happened when I was in middle school.
There are people who do scary things. Gangsters.
- Did you make this story up? - No, I didn't.
My friends and I were walking on the street...
and in front of us were six gangsters.
In Japan, we describe gangsters with this gesture.
- Like this? - This is the gesture.
- The gesture means gangster. - That's right.
I said, "They must be..."
The moment I made the gesture, they looked back.
Hey, look.
(His finger circled his face.)
- You made up the story. - I swear I did not.
It really happened.
Perhaps this is the gesture you made instead.
- No, I did this. - I see.
What did they say?
When I did that, they walked away.
Thank goodness I was quick-witted. It's a true story.
- What year was it? - What?
- What year was it? - What do you mean?
"What do you mean?"
(Please drop it.)
- He made up so many stories. - Excuse me, Sae Ho.
The theme of today's episode is not...
determining whether a story is true or false.
It could be "True or False".
Sana, you can speak Korean very well.
I heard that you even forgot Japanese.
I forgot a lot of Japanese words.
Do you act as an interpreter for other members?
I use simple words with Tzuyu.
When I got scolded as a trainee,
I pretended to not understand Korean.
- You pretended to not understand. - Yes.
- Give us an example. - Why did you get scolded?
- Trainees get penalty points... - That's right.
for eating food in practice rooms.
"Didn't you know that you shouldn't eat food here?"
What did you say to that?
What? What?
"Eating food in this room is prohibited."
What? Why?
- "Why?" - That's incredible.
(She feigned ignorance.)
I did that at first.
Once every two months, trainees get tested.
Foreign trainees get tested on Korean, too.
They found out how well I could speak Korean.
"Sana, you should represent your friends."
"You should call your friends and interpret."
"Apologise as a representative."
It was hard for me.
- You speak Korean so well. - Seriously.
I can't believe you went, "Why?"
You understood everything.
I bet she turned around and said, "How annoying!"
She would do that.
You said Sayuri does that.
She is really good at that. She is a professional.
What does she do?
(I am sorry.)
What are they talking about?
- She is really good at that. - I see.
She is really good at that. She is a professional.
In a programme called "Off to School",
I sat on the teacher's seat by mistake.
I was eating ice cream on the principal's chair.
I didn't know it was rude.
I said, "I didn't know. I apologise."
Everyone accepted my apology.
It's a trick every foreigner can use.
Isn't it rude to sit on a principal's chair in Japan?
Yes, it is.
It has nothing to do with being a foreigner.
Why would you sit there?
Don't students sit there in Japan?
If you do that, you will have to stand like this.
- It's the same as it is in Korea. - Of course it is.
Of course it is the same. Don't be ridiculous.
Sorn, have you pretended to not understand?
I love shopping.
Let's say I find a bag that costs 10 dollars.
"Sir, I am a foreigner."
"Would you please give me a discount?"
He would go, "You speak Korean very well."
"Sure, you can have it for five dollars."
- I use the same trick at restaurants. - How?
"Ma'am, would you give me more tteokbokki?"
"You enjoy Korean food. I will give you more."
That's incredible.
They give you more food when you speak with an accent.
- Yes. - They love the enthusiasm.
Have you been to Itaewon?
- No? - She doesn't have time to.
- Why? - Why did you bring up Itaewon?
Indian people in Itaewon speak Korean very well.
(It's a story about Indians who speak Korean.)
I like hearing them speak Korean.
They say, "Hello."
"This is a nice restaurant."
- How funny! - That was a nice imitation.
How funny!
"What are you doing? Would you like to order?"
"I have lived in Korea for 10 years."
"Our tandoori chicken is delicious."
(He sounds just like an Indian.)
That was great.
(His imitation is flawless.)
This is an interesting situation.
A foreigner is imitating another foreigner.
- It was the perfect imitation. - You did well.
Sir, I'd like to have tandoori chicken.
Tandoori chicken is very delicious.
Good job.
- Bravo! - It could be his special talent.
Since this is your second time at the restaurant,
I will give you some curry with tandoori chicken.
- It was the perfect imitation. - Seriously.
Cheng Xiao, have you pretended to not understand?
Have you?
I have done it during the weight check.
You have done it during the weight check.
- Every girl group member has done it. - I have.
- I see. - How did the situation go?
The weight check happens every week.
I pretended to not understand if I had gained weight.
If they ask you if you've been eating a lot...
"Have you been eating a lot? You gained weight."
Then I say, "What? What?"
- "What are you talking about?" - Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao, how did you gain so much weight?
(What are you talking about?)
What did you do yesterday?
No.
Cheng Xiao, what did you eat yesterday?
No.
- Shall we go eat? - She is a professional.
(I will buy you a meal.)
It's okay.
You understood that part.
John, how did you avoid difficult questions?
I used to be asked about my past relationships.
Celebrities often get those lines of questions.
If they ask me if I've flirted with another celebrity,
I say, "What do you mean by flirt?"
- You pretended to not understand the word. - Right.
After a bit of explaining, they would get tired.
I would keep making this face.
(He used his signature facial expression.)
- I love that facial expression. - John.
- Look at that facial expression. - Seriously.
It would make any reporter give up.
It's more effective since his eyes are big.
Have you flirted with another celebrity in Korea?
What do you mean?
Perhaps you have gone on dates.
Maybe you have someone who is a bit more than a friend.
Is there someone you flirt with?
(He uses his signature facial expression.)
All right.
- He must be jet-lagged. - John is witty.
John.
This is a question for our six guests.
Is there a question you are sick and tired of?
- There are stereotypes about foreigners. - Sorn.
- She raised her hand. - She raised it like this.
- What is the question? - People ask,
"Do Thai people ride elephants to school?"
Do they ride elephants to school?
No, they don't.
- That's ridiculous! - Only tourists ride them.
That's right.
- Have you ridden an elephant? - No, I haven't.
- You have not ridden one. - No.
It's like a Busan native who hasn't been to Haeundae.
Sana, is there a question you don't want to get?
When I say I am from Osaka, people go,
- "Have you had takoyaki?" - Takoyaki!
It's sold in Korea, too.
- I know. I always get asked that. - Takoyaki!
People in Osaka eat takoyaki with rice.
No, they don't.
- Kang Nam, where are you from? - They don't.
Maybe Kang Nam is just from Gangnam.
- Seriously. - I don't know much about Japan.
(He doesn't know much about his own country.)
Let's hear about the difficulties they face in shows.
All of these guests speak Korean very well.
- That's right. - They are very smart.
They are very smart.
Even though Henry speaks Korean perfectly,
he struggles when he is with Kang Ho Dong.
Ho Dong and I are hosts...
- of a Chinese programme. - I see.
Other panellists are all Chinese.
When Ho Dong speaks like this,
I am expected to interpret it.
I have no idea what he is saying.
You don't understand Ho Dong.
- Ho Dong speaks in a dialect. - He gets excited.
- He speaks with intonation. - That could be it.
I don't understand 60 percent of his words.
I have friends from Busan and Jeolla Province.
I understand every single one of them.
Ho Dong is the only one I don't understand.
(Ho Dong is the only one he doesn't understand.)
I don't understand him. I can sympathise with you.
John, you were in different shows with Ho Dong.
Yes, I have.
You understood his words, right?
There is no way I can understand them.
(Ho Dong is the public enemy.)
How long has it been since he debuted?
- 26 years. - 26 years have passed, right?
He should have changed at least a little bit.
I can't believe you asked that question.
I saw an old footage of him. He hasn't changed at all.
(He has kept the same style for 26 years.)
- I am serious. - When you don't understand,
how do you react?
For example, Ho Dong said, "John, come on."
(Did he imitate Ho Dong?)
- "Come on!" - "John Park!"
- "John, come on." - What do you say?
I don't understand him.
He speaks more slowly the second time,
but I still don't understand him.
Then I ask, "Would you please repeat that?"
He answers like, "You!"
He gets angry.
- He gets so annoyed. - You are right.
- He gets annoyed. - That's hilarious.
Sana, you like the dialect of Gyeongsang Province.
Our agents use that dialect.
I started learning it by copying their words.
Now, they tell me that I am good at it.
- Really? - It makes me feel great.
Can anyone use the dialect of Gyeongsang Province?
Sana, how have you been?
Yes, I have been well.
- Have you eaten? - Yes, I have.
Where are you going?
I am on Happy Together now.
Have you eaten?
(She's so charming.)
- She is good. - She is good at it.
I have eaten a lot of food. You go to Osaka.
- She showed us a fake reaction. - That's right.
She showed us a fake reaction.
Why would you do that?
(Myung Soo's Sitting Room)
When you lack language skills,
there are times you need to react to...
- a situation you don't understand. - That's right.
Sana surprised me earlier.
Myung Soo said earlier,
"She sounded like Anchor Baik Ji Yeon."
Sana clapped and laughed at the comment.
She sounded like Anchor Baik Ji Yeon.
(She claps and laughs.)
I'm sure she doesn't know who Anchor Baik Ji Yeon is.
Do you know her?
- No. - She is a famous anchor.
You reacted without understanding.
- It was a meaningless reaction. - I was surprised.
She laughed loudly.
- He was sitting next to me. - How did you react?
I had to react since he's right next to me.
I thought to myself, "What should I do?"
(She decided to laugh anyway.)
(Darn)
Sorn, I heard you have also given a fake reaction.
I tend to do that a lot when Myung Soo talks.
(Myung Soo is the enemy of global entertainers.)
(He takes his anger out on Sae Ho.)
This is a battlefield.
You will get shot if you are slow.
Don't stop talking. The best defence is a good offence.
Your words are your ammunition.
Fire the words.
Go, go, go.
(He fires his words.)
My goodness.
Sana, I heard that...
you struggle with the pronunciation of an animal.
People tell me that I resemble a breed of a dog.
- Which one? - What breed is it?
It's the Shiba Inu.
- Shiba Inu. - Shiba Inu.
- It does resemble Sana. - That's right.
- How cute! - Shiba Inu is really cute.
Some Japanese words sound like Korean swear words.
Give us some examples.
Kesseki.
What does that mean?
- What did you say? - Kesseki.
- I take Japanese classes. - It's "Scenery".
- Scenery. - That's right.
That one was "Absent".
- Keshiki. - Keshiki.
- What did you just say? - Kesseki.
(He flinches.)
If Sae Ho is absent,
- you would go, "Sae Ho is kesseki." - Right.
- Kesseki. - Sae Ho is kesseki.
Sae Ho is kesseki.
- He's absent. - What did you call me?
- It means "Absent". - It sounds nice.
Translate "Sae Ho is absent due to the nice scenery."
(Keshiki, kesseki)
(That's all we hear.)
- Wait a minute. - Please don't misunderstand.
- It's Japanese. - It sounded like a swear word.
Seriously.
Now, the global entertainers...
will talk about the differences in cultures.
Sorn, I heard that you were surprised by...
how fast the relationship progresses in Korea.
Americans are physically affectionate.
I didn't think it would be like that in Korea.
I saw couples holding hands and kissing in public.
- It surprised me. - It's normal for couples.
It's frowned upon in Thailand.
- Really? - Is public display of affection illegal?
Holding hands is okay,
but you shouldn't kiss or hug in public.
It's frowned upon.
- Do people point fingers? - Yes.
That's why I was flustered.
I see.
Do you think people do that a lot in Korea?
- Like holding hands. - Yes, I think so.
- Have you been in a relationship? - No, I haven't.
- I learnt though dramas. - Come on.
I highly doubt that.
I don't know if I believe her.
In Thailand, how long does it take...
for couples to hold hands?
How long did it take for you?
Me? I haven't been in a relationship.
Stop lying. You need to be honest.
- I haven't been in one. - Come on.
Sorn, there is no need to lie.
- Sorn. - Sorn.
Your eyes are shifting.
- Seriously. - I haven't been in a relationship.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
What about you, Sana?
What?
(She responds to a difficult question with "What?")
(Quick wits come in handy on variety shows.)
- She is the best. - That was amazing.
- She is brazen.
She is the best.
(She has made rapid progress.)
- She is the best. - Sana.
- I am learning a lot from her. - It was great.
Sana is the best.
She is amazing.
What surprised me the most about Korea...
was the frequent physical contact between men.
- What do you mean? - It's bromance.
- In foreign countries,
a light touch like this one is considered strange.
(John pushes his hand away.)
Did you see John's reaction?
He was taken aback.
- He hated it. - Among celebrities in Korea,
Henry is the most physically affectionate.
He and I had appeared on "One Night Two Days" together.
- What happened? - His hands...
were all over me.
(Did I really do that?)
That's weird.
- He keeps touching me. - He touches John a lot.
It's because I like you.
People don't do that in the US.
When I first came to Korea,
members slapped each other's butt.
(I hate this.)
It was a playful gesture.
(Henry keeps on touching other people.)
I was very taken aback at first.
It's unusual in the US, right?
- Of course it is. - It is a bit unusual.
However, I enjoy it these days.
(He touches John without a warning.)
Look at John.
- Are you enjoying his touches? - No, I'm not.
John, do you hold hands when you are in a relationship?
Physical affection is a crucial part in a relationship.
When you date someone in Canada...
- I'm from the US. - I see.
I am sorry.
It's strange to hear that John is from the US.
- Where in the US are you from? - Chicago.
Chicago.
If you date someone in Chicago,
does physical contact quickly come into play?
You must kiss on the first date...
to find out if you are compatible.
- That's absurd. - What do you mean?
- Wouldn't you agree? - Please explain.
The compatibility of the mouths?
Does it let you get a sense of her?
You might wait a week or two until the kiss...
only to find out that the kiss is horrible.
Do you judge a woman by a kiss?
The physical intimacy measures...
(He chuckles.)
(Thinking about it makes him happy.)
John.
- My goodness, John. - He chuckled.
He imagined something and laughed.
I believe that physical intimacy is...
as important as the exchange in thoughts...
- in a relationship. - Right.
I heard that in the US,
physical intimacy does not lead to a relationship.
Some Americans choose to be physically intimate...
- but decide to remain friends in the end. - Yes.
Otherwise, you would be stuck...
- in an undesirable relationship. - I see.
You will have to end it at some point.
How does one initiate physical intimacy?
Do you say, "Shall we kiss?"
- For goodness' sake. - That's old-fashioned.
It's like a line from an old movie.
"May I kiss you?"
I heard Park Se Min would kiss first and say,
"The wind pushed me towards you."
- That's what he used to do. - My goodness.
- It's an ancient tactic. - Seriously.
It was only a question.
If the atmosphere is right and both of you are adults,
a kiss will just come naturally.
How do you set the mood after the dinner?
Let's say you want to kiss the woman.
You have to set the mood first.
- Where will you take her? - I'll play as the woman.
- Let's see it. - I'm the woman.
- Do it in the Chicago way. - I feel uncomfortable.
- This is Chicago style. - Where will you take her?
- She wants to go home. - We would have dinner first.
Let's say Henry is your girlfriend.
- All right. - You're really good at this.
- Let's call him Ashley. - We would have had beer.
- This is set in the US, right? - Chicago.
We would ride a cab.
I would drop her off at her place.
Let's say you got out of the cab.
(Uncontrollably Sexy)
Okay. I am going to go in, John.
(Okay. I am going to go in, John.)
- Bye. - I will call you tomorrow.
- Okay, I will wait for you. - Okay.
Okay.
(There is a tension between them.)
(John will lean in...)
(and give her a kiss.)
(I can't do it.)
I can't get into it.
- It's Henry. - He is a great actor.
(He feels uncomfortable.)
He is a great actor.
- He has lost his mind. - He is good at this.
He keeps making a pass at me.
John, check your belongings.
There must be...
- a reason why he is so forward. - Stop it.
I heard that...
Henry often gets mistaken for another celebrity.
- People get confused. - I know what you mean.
I think I know who they confuse you for.
I go to saunas often...
- for a body scrub service. - I see.
The person in charge asked me,
"Why did you go back to the army?"
I was confused by the question.
I had never gone to the army.
The staff thought I was Lee Je Hoon.
- I knew it. - He thought I was Lee Je Hoon.
- You do look a bit like Lee Je Hoon. - Yes.
- People still think I'm him. - Really?
I like hearing that.
- So you didn't deny it? - No.
- You pretended to be him. - Yes.
So the people there think you were Je Hoon?
He said, "Je Hoon, let's start now."
I was just like this.
(I'm an actor, so please be gentle.)
He thought that was Je Hoon's body.
I wonder what Je Hoon will say about it.
I was happy to hear that, though.
Are there saunas like that in Thailand?
We don't have that kind of culture.
- You don't have public bathhouses? - No.
So you've never tried those body scrubs?
I've tried it, but nothing came off.
- You mean the dead skin? - You should soak first.
- You didn't soak. - It comes off when scrubbed hard.
You have to get scrubbed until your skin bleeds.
- Everyone has dead skin. - You didn't soak.
Just soak a little and they'll fall off like this.
Shall we bring some warm water and try it now?
- That will be hilarious. - Warm water.
There is a staff and he will do it for you.
- It's not 'he' in her case. - It'll be 'she'.
How could a male staff work in a women's sauna?
Right, sorry. The female staff will do it for you.
- She'll scrub like this. - You need to warm up.
- Does it hurt? - Pardon?
- Is it painful? - No, it's not.
The more pain you endure, the maturer you become.
You also have to flip to the other side when she claps.
You can't just be lying down.
- Let's talk about how people react. - Reaction.
- It differs in every country. - Right.
- Japanese people tend to use big gestures. - Yes.
(What is that?)
- What's that? - What is it?
It means, "Not at all."
So in Korean, it'd be something like, "No."
Have you ever had a boyfriend?
No.
She said no.
How do they react when they're surprised at something?
Let's say that this coffee costs 10,000 dollars.
(Gosh, that is unbelievable.)
- It's weak. - As far as I know...
What we see on Japanese TV is different. Say it again.
This coffee costs 50,000 dollars.
(Seriously?)
(This is what we meant.)
That's what we were talking about.
Yes, exactly.
We felt it when Yano Shiho was here, too.
- Yes, Yano Shiho. - She was very...
(I'm so surprised.)
(That's incredible.)
- You really didn't know? - No, I didn't.
When I watched those TV shows, I also felt...
that comedians often overreact...
to liven up the atmosphere.
- To make it more exciting. - Yes, exactly.
I've seen people hitting each other, too. Is it real?
They hit each other's head.
You know those moments when you wrap up a conversation.
That's when they hit your head.
- Why do they do that? - Show us.
Show us an example.
(Have you eaten yet?)
(- Yes, I have. - Really?)
(What are you talking about?)
- Right. - Like what you just saw,
the flow and topic change suddenly. Aren't I right?
- You know how it changes. - Yes, I do.
Sorn, how do people in Thailand react usually?
- They overdo it... - Really?
to the point where it feels noisy.
- This coffee costs 10,000 dollars. - Show us.
(That is unbelievable.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(That beats everyone else so far.)
Oh, my gosh!
- That's a great reaction. - We're loud.
- How about Americans? - What do they do?
They also overreact a bit, right?
They don't have specific reactions.
However, they can be...
pretty expressive in their daily lives.
On those audition shows, they do this when...
- they liked someone's voice a lot. - Right. "Bravo."
- They do that. - On those audition shows.
Americans also slap each other when they're expressive.
This costs 10,000 dollars.
Oh, man!
Oh, brother! Oh, my!
10,000 dollars? Oh, my goodness. Man!
- Gosh, brother! - This is it.
10,000 dollars, man!
- Oh my gosh! - This is what we wanted.
- Goodness! - Do more of this, please.
- That was great. - You know who does this?
Joon Park does this all the time.
- "Oh, man!" - That's right!
Joon definitely does that.
- "Bam!" - Joon says, "Bam!"
- "Bam!" - This will bring out a reaction.
John, I want to tell you my secret.
I won three million dollars in a lottery.
Yo, brother! What's up? That's awesome!
Yo, brother! What's up?
(This aspiring entertainer tries what he just learned.)
- That's it. - That's awesome.
- Yes. - He's good.
It's good that we got him to do this.
Henry, it's your turn. Show us.
- Go, Henry. - Gosh, I'm...
I won three million dollars in a lottery.
- Really? - Yes.
My goodness!
Yes, man. That's amazing!
That's what I'm talking about. Yes!
I lied. It was a lie.
- Really? - Now, we're talking.
We also have to reflect on ourselves and be better.
We don't react to reactions we didn't expect.
- We were so surprised. - They're not like that.
John isn't like that normally, either.
(Indifferent)
(Bored)
- Like this. - They don't say, "Oh, my gosh!"
- When we didn't see that... - We weren't excited.
I'm sure there are moments...
when you miss home and your family.
They must be lonely during lunar new year holidays.
- Lunar new year. - On holidays.
- Yes, I agree. - That's when I feel the loneliest.
- I see. - I feel so lonely around that time.
- All staffs... - They aren't around.
go to their hometowns, and Seoul becomes a zombie town.
- A zombie town. - That's right.
- There're no cars or people. - It looks empty.
No stores are open, either.
Once, I walked on the streets alone on the holidays.
I went to the Han River.
Now, I have foreign friends.
All of us get together on the day and hang out.
It's really awesome.
You girls should join us, too.
That's what you really wanted to say.
- No. - He almost fooled us.
- Gosh. I'm impressed. - That was so smooth.
- My goodness. - I wasn't expecting that.
- He had to say that. - Gosh, I am...
- He's really something. - He's a pro.
- No, don't get me wrong. - Impressive.
I really didn't mean it that way.
Are you going to be the only guy there?
- Gosh, no. - You must want their contact numbers.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a bit older than them,
and I know how hard it is to be away from family.
- Seriously. - It is tough.
Why don't you ask John and Kang Nam to join you?
- Yes, exactly. - He never invited us.
- You guys should come, too. - Now? All of a sudden?
Shall all of us get together next time?
John looks unpleasant.
John, when do you feel the loneliest?
I don't really feel lonely in Korea.
- Is that so? - Don't you miss your parents?
My parents live in Yongin now.
Oh, my gosh.
We shouldn't have invited John today.
- My parents are also... - Today's topic...
isn't right for John.
You all know that I used to host "Star Golden Bell".
- That's right. - There was a popular segment...
- called "Syllable Game". - Right.
(Each syllable of given words must be emphasised.)
He did it.
Hyeon Gyeong will demonstrate it for all of you.
- Shall we go with "Happy Together"? - Sure.
(She emphasises each syllable carefully.)
- Nice. - That was good.
- Good. - She did it.
For any quiz or game, there must be a reward.
Right, a prize. We prepared one for today.
- Really? - It's an amazing prize.
What is it?
We prepared a portable hand massager...
which you can use on the go.
- This is great. - I want to try it, too.
- Does it feel nice? - It does.
- It's so simple. - You look like Iron Man.
- You're a fashionista. - I'll imitate Lee Byung Won.
(Are you kidding me right now?)
Are you kidding me now?
- You can get a massage on the go. - Right.
It's a great portable hand massager that...
you can take with wherever you go.
I really covet it.
- I want it, too. - This will be...
- the prize for the winner. - Only one winner?
Yes, it'll go to only one winner.
- I'll be sure to win. - Great.
We'll start with the easiest word.
- There's "Mona Lisa". - That's a good one.
(The first word is "Mona Lisa".)
That's how you do it.
- Let's... - "Mona Lisa"?
Yes. Henry will go first. Ready, start.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa...
You failed.
- You did it wrong. - You emphasised the wrong one.
- No, hold on. - Next up is John.
- Just a second, please. - John, go.
- Come on. - Go, John!
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.
You passed.
All right. Next up is Kang Nam.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.
- I understand it now. - You already failed.
- Let's move on. - No, but...
Sana, you're next. Ready, go.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.
- Great. - Good job.
- Sorn, go. - Your turn, Sorn.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.
(Sorn did it, too.)
Cheng Xiao, you're next.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.
(Cheng Xiao also succeeded.)
Henry is the only one who failed.
The second round awaits us.
Let's move on to the second round.
- But that was... - Henry lost.
- I don't think they've done this. - Next.
- It's "Kim with the Bamboo Hat". - Pardon me?
- Kim what? - "Kim with the Bamboo Hat".
- Kim with... - It's "Kim with the Bamboo Hat".
Ready, start.
Kim with the Bamboo Hat, Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
(It keeps getting worse.)
(You failed.)
Kim with the Bamboo Hat, Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
- Gosh, this is impossible. - You failed.
- That's a fail. - Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
Kim with the Bamboo Hat, Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
- That was close. - You failed, too.
- This is hard. - Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
Kim with the Bamboo Hat, Kim with the Bamboo Hat...
- You failed. - Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
Kim with the Bamboo Hat, Kim with the Bamboo Hat.
Kim with the Bamboo...
That one is too difficult.
It'll be hard for us, too. Try it, Sae Ho.
You have to say it quickly.
(His skill doesn't match his confidence.)
- It's difficult. - Everyone,
let's try "Ronaldinho".
- John, you're first. - Go, John.
- Ready, start. - Go!
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho.
(John succeeded.)
- Kang Nam, go! - Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldingho!
That's a fail. You pronounced it wrong.
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho.
(She almost sounds Korean.)
Good job.
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho?
- Ronaldinho - Ronaldinho
This round is over.
- The final match begins now. - This will be hard.
"Jangchung-dong jokbal".
- Jangchung-dong jokbal. - Jangchung-dong jokbal.
- Henry, can you do it? - I think so.
- Give it a try. Ready, start. - Go.
- Can I participate again if I do this? - Sure.
- You can play again if you do this. - Ready, go.
- Jangchung... No, hold on. - You failed.
Give me one more chance. Jae Seok, please.
This one is really difficult.
- You're ready, right? - Yes.
Ready, start.
Jangchung-dong jokbal, Jangchung-dong jokbal.
That was so close. The pronunciation is difficult.
Sana, you're next.
Jangchung-dong jokbal, Jangchung-dong jokbal.
(She's good.)
(Will she win?)
(She was so close.)
- All of you failed. - You have to say it fast.
- Let's try, "No, you can't". - "No, you can't."
Henry, you go first. All of you can try it.
This one is easy. Ready, go.
(I'll say it slowly.)
(I can do this.)
(There's just a little bit more.)
This is too easy. We'll choose something else.
- Sorry. We can't do this one. - It's way too easy.
- This is too easy. - Even for you, foreigners.
- We can't do this one. - It defeats the purpose.
Henry, I'm worried. We'll do "steamed shabu-shabu".
- Steamed shabu-shabu? - Yes. Steamed shabu-shabu.
- Henry, give it a try. - This is your last chance.
- Say, steamed shabu-shabu. - Ready...
I can trust you this time, right?
- Yes. Of course. - Ready, start.
Steamed shabu-shabu, steamed shabu-shabu.
(He's determined.)
(Will he succeed again?)
- This one's no good. - Let's pick something else.
No!
- Unbelievable. - It's too easy.
They said I could trust them.
If Henry can do it, that means it's too easy.
- "Gratings at..." "Gratings at the police station".
(The next phrase is "gratings at the police station".)
(I'll be the winner.)
Henry, do you want to try it?
- Can I really trust you this time? - Yes, you can.
- We're serious this time. - Trust us.
If you succeed, you can participate in the game.
- We're serious. - I'll trust you.
Henry, this is your final chance. Ready...
(Myung Soo does something.)
Henry, this is your final chance. Ready, start.
Gratings at the police station.
Say it quickly. Faster.
(The prize is mine.)
- Gratings at the police station. - Faster.
(Myung Soo attends to his guest.)
(I hope this will cheer you up.)
(Thank you, Myung Soo.)
(They're having a great time.)
(Henry struggles alone.)
- Gratings at the police station. - Faster.
It looks like we can use this phrase.
- Did I pass? - No. You failed.
- I did it. - You didn't pass the first round.
- We did it for fun. - That was just for fun.
We let you do it because you were so eager.
- John will go first. - Ready, go.
Gratings at the police station.
I can't pronounce it.
Gratings at the police station.
(He already pronounced it wrong.)
What did you say?
I can't move my tongue.
Gratings at the police station.
(She's good.)
(Will she succeed?)
(She was so close.)
- Sana failed just before the end. - Too bad.
Gratings at the police station.
(What was next?)
- This is difficult. - It's hard.
By the way, is someone using the hand massager now?
Myung Soo.
(It's here.)
- Seriously. - I love this.
(The accomplice feels guilty, too.)
This is a prize for the winner.
My hand is melting because it feels so nice.
We have no choice but to...
Our production team should use this in the office.
- The one on the sixth floor. - Let's give it to...
- the chief producer. - How will we choose a winner?
- Let's play a game. - Shall we?
- This game. - Really?
- Sounds good. - "Read My Mind" game.
- Here's 1. - 2.
Three.
(He jumps up from his seat.)
- You're out. - Hyun Moo is out.
(Hyun Moo is mortified.)
- What did I do? - That looked hideous.
- Seriously. - Why did he do this?
(He sacrifices his image for the prize.)
(He's dying...)
(to own the prize.)
(That desire is what got me this far.)
(It's the greedy entertainer, Hyun Moo.)
- All right. - Get ready. Start now.
One.
(He hesitates.)
Two. Oh, no.
- One. - Two.
(She couldn't get up because of Jae Seok.)
Do you want to win that much?
(All of the hosts are so competitive today.)
- I told you all. - I heard him.
You guys don't know the real Jae Seok.
- He's hiding his true colours. - He definitely is.
- I'm out. - You lost.
He likes freebies, too.
(Jae Seok loves winning prizes, too.)
Sorn deserves it because her name sounds like "hand".
We'll give it to Sorn.
(That random joke got her the prize.)
(Congratulations. Sorn won the portable hand massager.)
(I should've named myself Sorn.)
- It's meant to be yours. - It's fate.
- That was perfect. - Thank you.
How did you three enjoy being here with these girls?
I had a lot of fun today.
- I didn't grow up here, so I've been lonely. - Yes.
It'd be great if all of us could hang out often.
- That'd be great. - I don't want them to be lonely.
Feel free to ask us if you're unsure about anything.
- Don't be shy. - He has a clear agenda.
Sana, how did you enjoy today?
- I had such a great time. - Really?
(That's what Japanese people would do.)
(It means she's very satisfied.)
(Myung Soo and Sana get along so well now.)
Calm down now.
Let's watch John's performance of "shy, shy, shy".
(They want the show to be fun until the last moment.)
- Let's do it together. - The dancing machine.
It's a great way to end the show.
(Variety shows must be fun until the end.)
- You're doing great. - Shy, shy, shy
- Shy, shy, shy
(This is fun.)
- Cheer up, baby - Cheer up, baby
- Cheer up a little more - Cheer up a little more
Thank you for watching Happy Together.
We'll return with a funnier show next week. Thank you.
(Please look forward to our next show.)
("Thought of You" by John Park)
(It's the entertainer and sentimental singer...)
(John Park's newest song.)
