I thought these people would never change.
This show is crazy!
(Radio Star is crazy as always.)
Our job is to attack the guests.
(We are crazy about rough jokes.)
I used to be really strict.
If that's true, you should have attended reserve forces training.
(The strong ones have visited us.)
Please continue.
Do you want me to continue?
What's the matter with him?
This is my job.
(There are no winners here.)
You should quit then!
Stop yelling.
Many singers are adopting expedients.
Please help me out.
(Please help me out with my album.)
(The Toughest Celebrities Special starts now.)
Today, we've invited the toughest people in the music industry.
The Toughest Celebrities Special.
He is over 50 now, but he always wears make-up like pop idols.
- He's the old ballad singer. - Yes. He was born in 1966.
Yes. "Welcome."
"You've been to Radio Star before, right?" It's Lee Seung Chul.
(The king of concerts, Lee Seung Chul)
He made hit songs like "Last Farewell" by Big Bang,
"Alone" by Sistar and "Heart Attack" by AOA.
However, the idol groups of his company failed badly.
(The idol groups of his company failed badly.)
A songwriter, Brave Brother, is the hope for the less educated.
She doesn't seem to be an opportunist.
She works in the areas of music, movies, dramas and musicals...
with the help of her agency, SM Entertainment.
But why can't she become popular?
(It's a mystery that she can't become popular.)
She's a well-known dog lover among celebrities. It's Dana.
He made an appearance in "Real Men".
(I can't believe I have to say this.)
This is absurd. It's outrageous.
It's absurd that...
I knew you'd talk about this!
We have to talk about this. This is outrageous.
He appeared in "Real Men" but he missed the reserve forces training.
This is a big mistake. It can't happen.
He got scolded roundly for missing the reserve forces training.
This is totally absurd.
He is the troublemaker of Super Junior.
His nickname is Kang Na Ni since he always causes trouble.
- It's Kang In of Super Junior. - Yes.
Welcome.
Good to see you.
(Today's guests are Lee Seung Chul, Brave Brother, Dana and Kang In.)
You just made me age 10 more years.
When I sit over there, it makes me feel like...
I'm in the teacher's room. It makes me regret that I came here.
- You start regretting already. - I don't get why I came here again.
I see your face is tanned.
- Me? - Did you get it tanned?
- Do you work out outside? - Is it tanned?
- Maybe he plays golf. - Do you always draw your beard?
I just fill it up a little.
- A beard doesn't grow like that. - Is it obvious?
That's what I'm saying.
- His English name is Louis. - That's right. Louis.
- Louis Lee. - It's his recording studio's name.
- Louis, the 51-year-old. - I'm 50 years old. He's 51.
Louis, the 51-year-old.
(The king of concerts, Louis, the 50-year-old)
Today is the Toughest Celebrities Special.
You all seem to be involved in a food chain.
Who is tough and who is tougher?
- I'm not tough. - Me, neither.
- I'm weak and... - You definitely look tough.
- Why do you say that? - I'm very tender and...
- He's right. - We cry when we drink together.
- He gets manicure. - No, that's...
- It's... - It's just nail strengthener.
- Yes, that's right. - My goodness.
- Is that for real? - Yes.
- No, it's... - It doesn't suit you at all.
- Listen to me. - Yes.
(It's getting scary. What if they start fighting?)
- You've gotten manicure, right? - Yes.
It gets dirty when I stop getting manicure. You must know that.
- At first, I just did it for fun. - Oh, you were talking about nails.
It's because she hated it, saying that it doesn't suit me.
- This is... - Let me see.
Now, I just...
- No, she's... - Wow. Until now,
there was nobody who has touched Brave Brother's hand so carelessly.
- You've gone soft. - Hold out your hands.
No, because...
- He's drinking water like this. - Why do you hide your nails?
- You did it to show others. - Show your nails.
(I won't show my nails.)
I did the dishes so they don't look pretty now.
- I'm worried I got hand dermatitis. - I see.
Why are you getting far away from me?
I can't look at women's eyes.
- I know. - He can't look at women's eyes.
- Brave Brother, is Dana pretty? - She's pretty.
- You didn't even look at her. - I did.
(He turns his head quickly.)
(He blushes after the eye contact.)
He looks at her like this.
Like this.
Please look here when you talk. You always look over there.
Okay.
(He becomes a shy boy in front of a girl.)
Who is tougher, Dana or Kang In?
- Dana. - Kang In.
- Dana is tougher. - She's way tougher.
Am I?
- Yes. - There are two women...
that I find hard to deal with.
They're BoA and Dana.
- The so-called Bo Da. - The Bo Da.
(They're the tough girls in SM Entertainment.)
The reason is because...
Dana made her debut when I was...
- a trainee. - She is a senior.
He is just like Jo Kwon.
In SM Entertainment,
it doesn't matter when you debuted or how long you trained.
The young and popular artists...
don't get afraid of senior artists.
- That was a satire. - I know. Wow.
It has pathos. Wow.
- But it's... - It must have hurt her feelings.
- I want to say something to Dana. - She'll make a good politician.
You should be careful. There is a betrayer here.
It's you.
- Betrayer? - That's right.
I was going to say he is...
- an agent, a spy and... - So I prepared a lot.
a villainous retainer of SM Entertainment.
- Kang In said he was a betrayer. - I did.
- Are you through? - He is like a CCTV.
- Oh, really? - He's a spy from SM Entertainment.
To the people in the agency, I am...
- He is Mata Hari. - Well...
When I get upset, I tell everything on TV.
- It's just... - You're here to surveil them.
I just want everything to go well.
You two agree on this. Is he really like that?
- You said you almost had a fight. - With him?
- No, I wouldn't dare. - Kyu Hyun is the youngest and...
I used to be really strict.
- Were you? - I was in charge of the discipline.
I...
If that's true, you should have attended reserve forces training.
(If that's true, you should have attended reserve forces training.)
Be careful on what you say.
- He said he was strict. - Maybe he thought he was too good.
I was curious if there is a spy in MYSTIC Entertainment, too.
- A spy? That's a secret. - Yes, there is.
- Seo Jang Hoon. - Oh, Jang Hoon.
- Right. Jang Hoon. - He's too big to be a spy.
How can a 207cm tall guy even eavesdrop?
(How can a 207cm tall guy even eavesdrop?)
Dana, what you're wearing today looks too comfortable.
Are they your pyjamas?
- Right. - It looks like a nurse's uniform.
- Because Radio Star... - Nurses don't wear something pink.
- Is it a patient's gown? - Let me finish talking.
- She wanted to talk about this. - Yes. That's right.
I thought I should be relaxed on Radio Star.
That's why I'm wearing something comfortable.
- I wanted to wear military uniform. - Military uniform?
Are you done with the reserve forces training?
I attended eight of them in a month.
Okay.
I made friends with the officers and the meals suited my taste.
Does that cross on your T-Shirt show your atonement?
(Kyu Hyun is attacking his teammate.)
But people...
- forgot about that incident. - No.
They still remember it perfectly.
(They still remember it perfectly.)
Kang In, what was the real reason why you didn't attend it?
Well, I finished my military service in 2012.
And we released an album right away in July.
We went abroad 2 or 3 times a month.
So, it got postponed automatically. That's what happens when you're...
- in a different country. - That's right.
As it kept getting postponed, I started to wonder...
when I should go to the reserve forces training.
- But it kept getting postponed. - Many people don't check the date.
Eventually, they hit me with a lot of training.
- They're the ones that you missed. - That's right.
You shouldn't say it like this.
People will say, "Kang In still doesn't know what he's done."
- It's only fair that you attend. - That's right, but...
- after that... - I think when Super Junior is on...
a concert, they wouldn't have any problem even if you weren't there.
(They'll be fine without you.)
Aren't I right?
- He should've gone to the training. - That's not true.
- That's cruel. - It's not true.
Am I wrong?
But there are only six of us now...
- so we need him. - That was cruel.
But I could feel Kang In's absence in the reserve forces training.
That's right.
- You can feel it. - They'll wonder where he is.
- Kang In must be in the training. - Of course.
(Kang In must be in the training.)
Seung Chul, you surprisingly appeared on Radio Star quite often.
You came to promote your album, "Time Goes Fast Like an Arrow".
Before that, you came to promote your song, "Love Is So Difficult".
- The names rhyme. - Right.
What about today?
- What's the title of the song? - "Diary".
He wrote me this song, "Diary".
Speaking of that song,
I checked the music charts.
You didn't make it to the Top 100.
Was it manipulated by a company with power? Did something happen?
It stayed within Top 100 but it came down.
- Is the chart manipulated? - They won't stay up there forever.
- So you were in the Top 100. - It was fine for the first 2 weeks.
What was the highest in the ranking?
- We were the second. - Wow.
Why don't you aim for the first?
- Seung Chul deserves the first. - "Descendants of the Sun"...
Brave Brother,
Nine songs from that drama are on the chart.
- That's because... - You two should top the chart.
- At first, people loved our song. - You should top the chart.
Seung Chul doesn't often go up to the stage to sing this song.
This song was just a present I wanted to give him.
We didn't expect much.
At first, we didn't expect anything at all.
But when the ranking went down, it was a bit disappointing.
But the important thing that I felt is that...
- we start from the top of ranking. - That's right.
Before, you started from the bottom.
- That's right. - The music charts these days...
- We started from the top and... - It goes down from the top.
- It's about how slowly you go down. - Tell us more.
Does that mean you are satisfied with your ranking?
No. It's not about satisfaction. I'm changing how I promote my album.
- Really? - Yes.
- Now... - It was a great question, right?
It was an absurd question.
You're complimenting yourself.
He's not a music specialist. It's kind of absurd but...
this song was a gift given to me.
You don't ask the price of the gift when you receive one.
- Gu Ra would ask. - I think he will ask.
- You shouldn't. - He'd say, "Which brand is this?"
- He would ask. - Sometimes, I do.
You shouldn't remove the price tag when you give Gu Ra a present.
(How did he know that?)
It doesn't matter how popular it gets but it's good if it does.
What I feel bad about is how they prepared for a song for...
6 months and stayed on the chart for only 6 hours.
- That's a pity. - That's what happened to Ye Sung.
It must be so hard for Ye Sung.
Ye Sung went down quickly.
- Ye Sung's having a hard time. - I thought so.
The problem with it is that...
they give up on their album.
- They spent so much time preparing. - Yes. I find it funny.
I was promoting "Never Ending Story" for almost three months.
When I almost gave up on the song, it suddenly got popular.
- So did the other songs. - The way they decide the ranks...
- is different now. - You have to go on stages now.
Singers don't go on radio programmes now.
But I went on the Top 20 best radio programmes.
- Radio programmes? - Did you go on Heung Kook's show?
- I will. Actually, it's tomorrow. - "We Must Vent"?
- I see. - Is it on the Top 20?
It is not.
- It is not. - I just try to go on any show.
Songs these days focus on the performance, not the feeling.
People can't sing along the songs...
that rank number one on the chart right away.
Do you hum any song from this year or last year?
- So, I... Yes. - You don't.
You have to feel the song.
Maybe "Marked" by Kim Heung Kook. I marked you
- It's your personal taste. - So I...
- It's used for the election, right? - Heung Kook gave me...
- Is it a song for the elections? - Actually,
the artists are having a hard time so I...
- Whose album is that? - It's Kim Heung Kook's.
He became the president of Korea Singers Association.
So, he released this album.
- This is Jo Young Gu's album. - Why are you promoting others?
It says, "I told you the last album would be the last."
They are trot songs.
- Does Young Gu sing trot songs? - Yes.
He gave me this and asked me to bring it to Radio Star and...
promote it for him.
- Why are you doing it here now? - I know.
- Seung Chul was talking. - You should help them.
- They're having a hard time. - Can he do this here?
Do you want to check them out?
Young Gu's son and my daughter go to the same school.
Help him out. He's a parent, too.
(He's a parent, too.)
Oh, please continue.
Do you want me to continue talking?
I did it for a good reason.
Don't you still want to be ranked as number one?
- Actually... - It will be great to top the chart.
I actually hope the singers would have more active movements.
Many singers care about getting their names on online charts.
They try hard to be on the main article of a website.
If I release an album, I will even go to the traffic broadcasting.
There are so many taxi drivers...
- and passengers. - Yes.
I should make songs that they can hum along.
They're obsessed with online media. Their music is something we see.
There should be more songs that we feel.
In order to do that, singers should be more active.
These days, singers only do limited activities.
Yes. Tell that to Ye Sung and cheer him up.
- Even though his songs weren't... - Singers try only to look cool.
- I don't like it. - That's a good point.
They only want to do things that will make them look cool.
- They only go on popular shows. - What he's saying is right.
Singers should be on radio.
- I think the old way is... - The steady efforts like old times.
- Yes. That's what I'm saying. - Do you do Buddhist broadcasting?
My goodness.
- I used to be a Buddhist. - Right.
I changed my religion.
You still have to be on the show.
My manager went to the Buddhist Broadcasting Station...
and a producer asked him...
if it's true that I go to church now. When he said it is true,
the producer said, "It is a big loss for the Buddhist community."
(He tries to be an active singer.)
Last March, Brave Brother revealed the song...
that he wrote for Seung Chul on "I Live Alone".
- You saw it and called him. - Right.
- It became a hot topic. - Well...
On the SNS, my fans told me to watch it.
I saw it and it was on the top of real-time word search ranking.
So I watched the show and found out he wrote "Diary" for me.
But I didn't expect him to keep the song for two years.
- It's unexpected. - Did you write it for Seung Chul?
- Yes. - He did.
It was just for Seung Chul.
- Yes. - I had never even met him.
- This is the third time we met. - I see.
Jong Shin, you have many songs that you wrote for others.
I just write it...
and I sell it.
- I see. - He's a businessman.
It was a genre which I don't usually work with,
- so it was awkward. - He usually sings ballad songs.
Seung Chul was my idol when I was young.
Many people say that.
Contacting him to give him the song was not a question...
since I didn't think my work was good enough.
Instead of getting rejected by Seung Chul,
I thought I would keep it to myself in good memories.
I heard that you wondered if you should play hard to get...
when Seung Chul contacted you.
When I woke up in the morning,
I realised I had gotten a text.
The text read, "This is Seung Chul."
"Call me when you read this."
I added something because I knew he was a shy person.
"Don't be shy." That's the text I sent him.
I looked up the phrase on the internet...
to figure out what it means. I don't speak English.
- You looked up "Don't be shy." - Yes, I did.
I worried a lot over the text.
It occurred to me that I should play hard to get.
- To call him right away would be... - Then you would look desperate.
You are the famous Brave Brother.
I wondered if I should wait 30 minutes or an hour,
then I realised he may not pick up the phone.
I ended up calling him right away.
He suggested that we meet up...
- then he came to sing my song. - That's right.
- Did you like the way he sang it? - I loved it.
I see.
Yet it isn't even on top 100 in music charts, right?
It's been a while since I released the song.
- I think it did pretty well. - He's satisfied with the song.
- It will move up the ranks again. - This show is good for publicity.
- This is the new beginning. - That's right.
Do you think it will move up the ranks?
Please help me.
(Desperate)
Is there a song you made for Kim Heung Kook?
What is wrong with him?
- It's just a question. - He has problems.
- It was just a question. - They have different styles.
- For goodness' sake. - Wait.
If you don't have it, just say so.
- That's right. - He asks absurd questions.
That's my role in Radio Star.
(I see.)
I have a question for Dana. When you visited Radio Star...
with Key of SHINee, you got branded as someone...
who uses her lips and tongue to act out a kiss in musicals.
- Her kiss was very deep today. - That's not true.
She worked her lips.
She is obsessed with kissing.
What are you saying?
How did people react after the show?
Key and I had talked on the phone before the shoot...
and agreed to only talk about something that had happened.
We had an agreement before the shoot,
but Key was determined to be funny on a variety show.
- Was his story exaggerated? - Pardon?
- Was his story exaggerated? - Yes, it was.
No musical actors use their tongues...
to act out a kiss on the stage.
It's a well-known fact. Key even jokingly said...
that since we're like siblings,
we should act out a kiss without using our tongues.
We merrily practised for the musical.
However, when everyone was in a good mood during the shoot,
Key said, "She suggested that we shouldn't use our tongues."
It was a false report.
So I wanted to explain,
but Gu Ra wouldn't let it happen.
"Dana must have done it!" The atmosphere became heated up.
That's my role in Radio Star. I was only playing my role.
I see that you continue to play the same role.
Tongue is his favourite body part.
- It seems that way. - I love beef tongue.
Gu Ra got to where he is because of his tongue.
He only eats beef tongue at restaurants.
It's what I am good at. It's a role I play.
- I see that now. - That's why he loves "Heo Jun".
Are wordplays a part of your role?
(It's my role.)
- What is he saying? - It's about a skilled tongue.
(Heo Jun)
Let's talk about the recent events.
- These are some great words. - This is what Seung Chul said...
about his rival on "Superstar K", Jong Shin.
"Jong Shin's entertainment company is like a recruiting business."
Seung Chul is an insightful man.
- He is sharp. - What do you need?
If you need comedians, we have two comedians.
- We have two comedians. - We want someone tall.
- We have three singers, too. - There's someone short as well.
People from his company...
- are always in musicals. - We have two musical actors.
- Do you have a DJ? - Yes, we do.
(Happy)
When you are in his position,
it's natural to seek out talented individuals.
- That's what he's doing. - People are everything.
That's right. People are behind every great work.
I realised that's why Jong Shin is keen on recruiting people.
You are no longer a judge on "Superstar K".
- No. - He is a sensible man.
He quit the show as soon as the viewer rating dropped.
He never stays on a sinking ship.
- It's not a sinking ship. - It means Radio Star is doing well.
Will you be a judge in the new season?
Nothing has been decided yet.
I was contracted to work as a judge until Season Five.
However, Season Five didn't do so well.
So I suggested to Jong Shin...
- that we work one more season. - That's right.
After Season Six gave the world Kim Feel and Kwak Jin Eon,
- I returned to my original place. - You decided to quit then.
- Yes. - Do you and Jong Shin get along?
We are good friends.
We see each other every day. Of course we get along.
They're merely acquaintances.
(Flustered)
We get along. I respect him.
- I remembered something. - What?
I remembered something.
When I quit "Superstar K", articles on the matter poured out.
Jong Shin could have texted me,
- "Thank you for your work." - I did that.
No, you posted it on Twitter.
I posted it on SNS and...
- Wait. - That takes away the sincerity.
- It's for the sake of appearance. - That's not true.
- It's for the sake of appearance. - He can be really fake.
"You made the show great..."
"and we will continue to work hard." Why did you post it on Twitter?
- He can be really fake. - I did send him a long text.
Then I posted it on Twitter...
to express my gratitude...
in a public manner.
It was unnecessary, wasn't it?
He is good at media manipulation.
- Next time... - An article was published on it.
- He is good at media manipulation. - I will use Instagram next time.
(I will post it on a different SNS next time.)
Brave Brother, have you been hit on by an idol singer?
- Did she hit you? - I wasn't hit on by an idol singer.
What a ridiculous wordplay!
It's a rotten joke.
- Nice try. - Why? I liked it.
- Kyu Hyun is like still water. - He is rotting.
He should just join the army.
- How did an idol singer hit on you? - I wouldn't say she hit on me,
but I could tell that she had an interest in me.
- I see. - Is she in top three girl groups?
Her group used to be very popular.
Who wouldn't be attracted to him? He's talented and charismatic.
- He is a charming man. - I bet he's very popular.
Many women prefer men like Brave Brother.
That's right.
I think she found me reliable.
Since I was in my late 20s,
I directed newly debuted singers.
I mostly scolded her,
but on rare occasions that I treated her nicely,
she felt attracted to me.
You showed her an unexpected charm.
- I have a different opinion. - Really?
- But that's what I thought. - Dana, what is his charm?
Today is my first time meeting Brave Brother.
My first impression of him was a railway.
- He reminded me of a railway. - A railway?
- Yes. - How strange!
My real name is Dong Chul.
- Dong Chul. - A railway?
He seems like someone who will move forward with energy.
- That's a train. - Right.
- A railway is different. - A railway doesn't move.
- A railway doesn't move. - Listen.
- It doesn't do anything. - It creates sounds with a train.
- No, a train makes sounds. - My goodness.
- A railway is on the ground. - Unlike trains,
railways don't take the spotlight.
A railway supports trains without a word.
A railway doesn't do anything.
I am more interested in...
people who look tough like Brave Brother.
I see.
I feel like they are putting up a shield...
to conceal and protect their real selves.
That's why they wear tattoos,
gold jewellery and beard.
A lot of men are like that.
I asked him if these are real gold.
- He didn't answer at first. - I bet they are real.
- They are real. - When I asked again,
he said, "Yes, they are 24k gold."
That's what he said.
They are 22k gold.
Right. He said, "They are 22k gold."
Seeing him answer my question...
made me realise that he's like a man made of tofu.
- Tofu? - Yes.
Yes, he seems tough on the outside,
but his heart is as soft as tofu.
Did you accept the idol singer's advances?
I have never contacted singers...
- outside of work. - You don't meet them personally.
No, I don't want feelings to interfere with my work.
Aren't you jealous of a relationship like Teddy and Han Ye Seul's?
I am a bit jealous.
I never go out with...
singers or actresses I have worked with.
Maybe they avoid you.
You are right.
(He's digging his own grave.)
Brave Brother, do you get paid millions of dollars for your songs?
No, I don't.
I did think it was an exaggeration.
Do you make more money than Cho Yeong Su...
- in total? - I don't know. I really don't.
- J.Y. Park, Yeong Su... - Park Jin Young?
and Brave Brother are top composers.
Jin Young has been in the industry for a long time.
- It makes a difference. - Yes, it does.
- What about Cho Yeong Su? - Well...
He has been in the industry longer than me.
What do you think of Park Keun Tae?
You know a lot.
I only brought up three composers.
Which one of your songs was the most successful?
- Is it "Alone"? - Is it "Crazy"?
"Crazy" was successful.
- So was "Saturday Night". - That's right.
- "Alone" by Sistar. - I loved that song.
A recent success was "Heart Attack".
- "Heart Attack". - That's right.
What about "Bang Bang Crossroads"? Did it not do well?
No, it didn't. It was a flop.
How do you know the song?
- Why wouldn't I know it? - Whose song is it?
- Brave Brother wrote it. - It's a song by Electroboyz.
- "Bang Bang Crossroads". - I am surprised that you know it.
I looked it up to see why it was a flop.
(I looked it up.)
(Joking)
Brave Brother, you suffered facial paralysis due to stress.
- Is that true? - I don't get a lot of sleep...
when I work. I drink alcohol to relieve my stress.
After I get drunk, I stay up all night working.
- You do that when you're drunk. - Yes.
One day, I spat only to see it came out in the wrong direction.
(The spit came out in the wrong direction.)
- I am serious. - I shouldn't laugh.
- I shouldn't laugh. - Even I think it's ridiculous.
It was a funny situation.
- Your spit came out sideways. - Let me explain.
- Composing is hard work. - I was smoking and working.
When I spat, the spit came out this way.
I missed the ashtray I was aiming for.
Then I drank water only to see it flow out sideways.
- You couldn't close your mouth. - Your mouth was twisted.
I wondered what was wrong and looked in the mirror.
- My mouth was drooping. - It happens.
I called the hospital as soon as I saw my reflection.
I called the hospital and said that my mouth was drooping.
They asked me to come in right away...
and I was diagnosed with facial paralysis.
- I lacked sleep. - You were stressed.
Yes, I was stressed. I had pain behind my ears, too.
I took their prescribed medicine.
The doctor also told me to stay at home for a month, so I did.
I wore a mask at home.
At home?
- I didn't want to see my face. - Right.
I was afraid that the paralysis wouldn't go away.
- Did you recover in a month? - Yes, I did.
I took care of myself rigorously.
I have a question. Is it just the muscles that get paralysed?
- Does the bone structure change? - Don't speak nonsense.
- Gosh. - My jaw didn't close properly.
Could you speak properly with a crooked mouth?
My pronunciation was a bit off.
I'll tell you what happened. This is what I experienced.
My question was based on a proverb.
Dana, you're a strong woman. Even Kang In is afraid of you.
I heard that you can't pass by an act of injustice.
I'm a bit like that. Let me give you an example.
I was waiting for the lift at the department store.
The passengers in the lift need to get off first to make space,
but some people try to shove their way in.
- That's right. - When that happens,
I know I have the option of not saying anything,
- but my mouth moves on its own. - What do you say?
"Wait for them to get off first."
- I can't help but say it. - "Wait for them to get off first."
- It's more of a suggestion. - "Wait for them to get off first."
- My goodness. - It's a suggestion.
That's what I say.
People like Dana are needed in society.
- They really are. - That's right.
Please come to my flat to establish an order.
(Flustered)
You can follow my lead, Kyu Hyun.
- Kyu Hyun would never say that. - Really?
He maintains his image fiercely.
(Kang In makes fun of Kyu Hyun.)
What happened in the parking lot?
There was a young assistant in the parking lot...
and an older man was complaining to him.
There were middle-aged women who were watching, too.
The customer was upset that the parking assistant...
didn't stop another car when he was reversing.
The assistant apologised...
but the older man began to scream and curse.
- He then slapped the assistant. - My goodness.
- What an unfair treatment. - I was watching from the car...
and one of the middle-aged women...
yelled at the older man for slapping the assistant.
The older man then turned to the middle-aged woman...
and raised his hand. I witnessed the situation.
The assistant came to me and asked if I would testify...
if he takes this to court.
I said that I gladly would.
The middle-aged women said that they would testify, too.
- You did the right thing. - This happened recently, too.
These days, a valet parks your car and charges you money.
- It's valet parking. - That's right.
A lot of valets refuse to take credit cards.
I would understand if the fee is 2 or 3 dollars...
but it can get very expensive depending on the time.
It can cost 10 or 20 dollars.
In those cases, I get angry when they refuse to take credit cards.
As a customer, I have the right to decide if I want to pay...
- with cash or credit card. - You should be the one to decide.
They should allow you to pay with credit card.
Perhaps they refuse the service because they are lazy...
- or want to avoid paying taxes. - Dana is so articulate.
- She is incredible. - It's upsetting because...
- they not only refuse the service, - It's an important issue.
but also do so in a rude manner.
"We don't take credit cards! Use the ATM if you must."
- That's what they say. - What do you say then?
I get really angry.
"Give me your account number so that I can transfer the money."
"If you refuse, I will report you for not taking credit cards."
(She is a smart woman.)
- Then they usually ask me to go. - Really?
They throw my car key and tell me to leave.
- Then I return. - My goodness.
Do you want me to introduce you to Kim Bu Seon?
You and Bu Seon will achieve great things.
Dana can change the system of valet parking.
That's what she can do.
- I agree with what she said. - Dana has a point.
When I return to the parking lot a few times,
they end up getting a credit card machine.
You made them change.
Do you return on purpose so that they will get a credit card machine?
No, but I refuse to avoid them out of inconvenience.
I would rather confront them and speak my mind.
That's what I believe.
Do you speak your mind to your agency?
No, I don't. Since we get trainings...
from a young age,
- it's difficult to... - Why do you act differently?
(Kyu Hyun looks uncomfortable.)
I complain if SM Entertainment gives me a reason to,
- but it rarely does so. - I see.
Really?
- Are you attacking our company? - No, I'm not.
- You don't want to do that. - Be careful. SM Entertainment...
- might recruit you in the future. - That's ridiculous.
(Why would I go there?)
- Why would they recruit me? - You never know.
- That's ridiculous. - You never know.
The executives have no plans to recruit Gu Ra.
Brave Brother, I didn't know you used to be a child actor.
- Yes, I was a child actor. - Really?
I remained an actor until I was in sixth grade.
Did you specialise in playing the villain?
- No, I was just a child actor. - He was a child actor.
I did play a villain once.
Do we have a video footage?
- What video footage? - It's a footage of you acting.
- It'll be fun. - My goodness.
For goodness' sake! How did you find it?
- I found out your family is rich. - He's good.
My family isn't rich.
- He was a cute boy. - He really was.
- My goodness. - You were so young.
What do you want me to do?
Bring me something valuable from your house.
Then I promise I won't do anything.
I can't do that.
I see that words won't convince you.
(Hitting)
This is crazy!
What is going on?
- Gosh. - Yeong Ja!
This is crazy! What's going on?
Give him back the money.
What if I refuse?
(Hitting)
(A punch knocks him down.)
This will happen.
(Laughing)
(Yeong Ja is fighting.)
- My goodness. - When does this footage end?
- Yeong Ja is amazing. - Do you want more?
You should stay down.
- For goodness' sake. - You were good.
You showed potential.
- He was a good actor. - Seriously.
It was method acting.
I had completely forgotten about it.
- How did you find it? - Does it bring back memories?
I'm impressed.
(We can give you a copy if you want.)
- It was the best. - It was method acting.
Seung Chul, you argued that you're the one...
who made the celebrated Director Park Chan Wook famous.
(Flustered)
- How did you make him famous? - It's a difficult question.
- You don't deny saying it. - You starred in a movie, right?
It was the one with Na Hyeon Hee.
I starred in "The Moon is... the Sun's Dream",
which was the first movie Park Chan Wook directed.
It was a flop.
It did well on the first day,
then it did badly from the next day on.
- I was a teenage star back then. - That's right.
Since the movie premiered on Sunday, it did really well.
Many people lined up to see it as if they were at a concert.
However, no one showed up the next day because of school.
After that, Park Chan Wook didn't work on movies for 10 years.
He contemplated on life and made preparations.
- Are you friends with him? - What?
No, we don't see each other.
(We're not close.)
- Do we have a video footage? - We have a video footage...
- of the movie Seung Chul was in. - I can't wait to see it.
- It's easy to spend 5,000 dollars. - It's Na Hyeon Hee.
The cost of living is high.
(Say no more.)
(Embarrassed)
I swear I didn't spend the money.
- Is that Seung Chul? - That's Seung Chul.
That's Seung Chul.
He has changed a lot.
(His voice sounds different.)
They used a voice actor.
Na Hyeon Hee was popular. She is around my age.
She is so beautiful.
She has beautiful eyes.
Seung Chul looks really young in this movie.
- I know. - This is interesting.
No. You will start chattering again.
(Laughing)
I know just the way to make you stop talking.
(Dana is the only one screaming.)
It's an aggressive kiss.
I can't believe a teenage star filmed a scene like that.
- It must have been shocking. - In the theatre,
- my fans screamed, "No!" - Of course.
- It was like a concert. - Let me see.
He made her stop talking.
His face has not changed a lot.
- He's good. - My goodness.
When did you get a tattoo?
I got a dragon tattoo.
(His eyes look cheesy.)
Why is it missing a tail?
(Sighing)
I stopped the process midway.
(Shocked)
- What a ridiculous movie! - I was short on money.
This is a funny movie.
(Giggling)
(The movie is funny.)
- When did it come out? - I don't know.
In the 90s, I think.
The reason it flopped...
- was because of the dubbing. - The voice-over.
That's right. That's what they did at the time.
The director should have told me to do it,
but he thought I couldn't do the voice-over.
He hired a voice actor to dub my character.
It's strange to hear me with that voice.
If your character had your voice...
- It would've been weirder. - it would've sounded like this.
"I stopped the process midway."
"I know just the way to make you stop talking."
Dana, haven't you kissed Kyu Hyun in a musical?
- Yes. - We were playing lovers.
He worked very hard when he first showed up for practice.
Then I couldn't see him for about a week,
so I thought he was doing something overseas.
In that scene, I sit on the floor...
and D'Artagnan lies with his head in my lap.
We were practising that scene and I thought he looked different.
(I thought he looked different.)
(When I look at you)
(He raised his hand awkwardly.)
(I don't know when it began)
I thought he looked different.
(They love a romance story.)
I looked down wondering what it was, and Kyu Hyun said...
- "I had double eyelid surgery." - Oh, that.
(Furtively rolling his eyes)
That's why he'd been away for a week.
He's famous for plastic surgery.
- Yes, but... - I'm not famous.
- None of us had surgery. - What year was that?
He's the Kwang Hee of Radio Star.
Am I the Kwang Hee of Radio Star?
- Yes. - It's just my eyelids.
- Only you had surgery. - It's true.
- Only you had surgery. - He's the Kwang Hee of Radio Star.
I hadn't considered the surgery but my agency said...
- I looked a bit mean. - Right.
- I can see why. - So it came up.
I had it done right before my debut,
then focused on my career...
but after five years it felt like my monolids had made a comeback.
- Really? - They had gone.
- They were gone. - But...
I thought men with monolids were becoming popular,
so at the time I was hoping to get my old eyelids back.
- When it actually happened... - You couldn't stand it.
I looked bad.
You need double eyelids.
After living with double eyelids for five years, it felt so awkward.
so I had them retouched.
- It took about 10 minutes. - To fix them?
I've seen you for so long, so I can't really tell.
- There's a huge difference. - Without them...
- Look up an old photo of him. - Wait.
- He looks different now. - That's my worst photo ever.
- Let's see it. - He looks so different.
There are better photos of me.
He's the Kwang Hee of Radio Star.
Dana, do you think...
- Kyu Hyun relieves stress... - Not me again.
- by dating co-stars from musicals? - What?
- Is that wrong? - There's nothing wrong about that.
It's not wrong but... Why did you bring that up?
- The crew... - Everyone knows.
What do you mean?
- Dana. - I heard about it myself.
- What did you hear? - It's not a bad thing.
- Because... - It never happened.
When you play lovers in a musical for a period of time,
- you can fall in love. - That's right.
- Does he go for the ensemble? - What?
What are you talking about?
- I saw a text he sent. - To a lady?
- Yes. - Then you're the faker.
- Hey, you. - Gosh.
He's so shocked that his double eyelids are disappearing.
- You shouldn't corner him, though. - Exactly.
- What's wrong about that? - He's weird.
- Was the text... - We worked together,
- so we just stayed in touch. - You're right.
- Why are you stuttering? - Because...
they're making it sound like I go after my co-stars.
- No, no. - That was Gu Ra.
That wasn't me.
- You mentioned the ensemble. - That's just me.
That's my job.
Dana, are you saying he gets along with everyone?
- Yes. - When we do a musical,
your co-stars are the people you spend most time with.
You see them every day so you have to be nice.
- He buys us drinks often. - He's very popular.
It's not like I dated any of my co-stars.
- So what if you did? - But I didn't.
Make us laugh or admit to it.
My goodness.
You're the worst.
- The worst... - The worst outcome...
It's the worst possible outcome.
You're the worst.
What else am I supposed to say?
I said that seat should belong to a person who has nothing to lose.
You can tear me apart.
- To make people laugh? - I'm prepared to be tortured.
Leave the show.
(He might be replaced.)
If I were you, I'd have said I dated everyone.
Stop yelling.
Who will fill in when he joins the army?
I heard that Kim Heung Kook wants the position.
- Do you want him? - No.
I'm not trying to find him work.
He might be the first host to leave during the show.
- He might leave during the show. - Yes.
He might fall asleep.
(The first host to fall asleep)
Kang In, you weren't on last year's Super Junior special,
so you want to make up for it.
Why do you want to apologise to the women...
who took photos with Shin Dong?
Didn't he announce a few times that he would get married?
Only once. And...
To be honest...
Once was about marriage and the rest were about his girlfriends.
- Some think he is married. - Exactly.
Isn't he married?
- That's what people think. - It's because...
I thought he was married and ran an internet cafe.
I'm serious.
- I heard his child is a genius. - That's a rumour, too.
It goes beyond people thinking he's married.
- They ask about his child. - He's funny today.
(He's very witty today.)
So, Shin Dong isn't married.
He never was.
He revealed his girlfriend twice.
To say they were dating and then to sat they'd get married.
- That's right. - He's the prime example...
of careless love.
- Careless love? - People think he's...
- Is he a prime example? - That's what he is.
That's an improvement.
- I'm envious. - Why do you envy him?
- He did something unique. - He did.
Kang In, you're also...
I'm a prime example of a whole load of bad things.
A careless street fighter.
Who else is careless?
Lee Teuk has a careless tongue.
- A careless tongue. - There are a few careless people.
You're Careless Junior.
Are we digging our own graves?
(Sorry, guys.)
Seung Chul, you started a pet-related business.
- Really? - I heard it's a big business.
- No. - Didn't you sell golf balls?
Are you still doing the business?
- They're nice. - I still sell them.
He could have the dogs fetch golf balls.
You're funny.
What is it?
It's a doggy day-care.
You leave your dog with us in the morning...
and pick it up after work.
- If you live alone... - That's a service we all need.
Don't you have a lot of questions for her?
- I picked her brain. - She's an expert.
Do you think his business will do well?
I don't think so.
She's very critical.
- Because... - You're Miss Critical.
- Because... - She hates injustice.
- Miss Critical. - There must be a reason.
If you were to say I love dogs a lot...
but have no money,
Seung Chul has a lot of capital and space,
but lacks the knowledge that he needs about dogs.
He wants to do it because he has a building...
- with no tenants. - There she goes again.
Is that an injustice?
She's the Kim Gu Ra of SM Entertainment.
To me, that sounds like a request for a partnership.
He told me to work there.
- He can't do it himself. - After listening for a while,
I said, "I'll set it up and you run it."
- I suggested that already. - Did you?
- Ask for a stake in the company. - Would you consider the offer?
No, but I...
I was pleased when he made the suggestion.
- Because... - Were you?
- Yes. - Good. That's great.
- Let's sign a contract. - Because I know that...
when people who know nothing about dogs get into this business,
- it always fails. - We were...
on the lookout for a CEO.
We need a CEO because we know nothing.
Could she be it?
- She could be. - Really?
Seriously?
My doggy day-care is called "Dogsney Land".
- "Dogsney Land"? - He already has a name.
That's hilarious.
It's a playground for dogs.
There's a pool on the roof among other things.
We need a CEO to consult and manage the place...
- and she's perfect. - I have a condition.
- What? - What is it?
Ask for a stake.
I don't want a stake in the company, but I want him...
to donate 20 percent of the sales, not profit, to aid abandoned dogs.
(That's a lot of money.)
(Nodding without thinking)
- 20 percent of sales? - I see.
- 20 percent of sales is a lot. - No, wait.
- Sales? - Not profit but sales.
That's a huge chunk.
I'll raise your pay instead.
There's a reason I said 20 percent of sales and not profit.
He's not starting this business to make money.
He wanted to rent out his building but he couldn't find tenants...
for two years. So it's not for profit at all.
He could donate 30 percent if he really wanted to.
(He's forced to make a donation.)
- She really loves animals. - I approve.
You love animals. Have you heard of her?
- Actress Lee Yong Nyeo. - Yes.
Do you know she lives with 50 dogs?
- Does she? - Yes. Lee Yong Nyeo.
Choi Yeo Jin's mother also adopted about 50 dogs.
- How many do you have? - Three.
- It's not about the numbers. - More isn't always better.
Why do you count everything?
I don't know much about dogs.
That's his role.
My role is to be ignorant.
Did you fight with customers because they mistreated dogs?
No, it wasn't that.
I fought with people who abandoned their dogs at my cafe.
I see.
They don't come back for them.
They just leave them tied to the elevator.
I understand that because it must be tough for them.
I'm grateful they leave their dogs with me...
instead of abandoning them elsewhere.
I got a delivery box from...
a delivery man once.
When I opened the box,
I found four newborn puppies inside.
The note inside said they'd heard that...
I own a pet cafe supported by celebrities...
and to please take care of their dogs.
They sent me their dogs.
I asked who sent the package.
But they couldn't reveal personal information.
- I couldn't handle the injustice. - Of course not.
I asked what they would have done if the box contained a bomb.
How could they deliver a package without checking the contents?
They ended up telling me.
Based on her profile picture,
she seemed to be working at a bar.
She had expensive handbags...
- and wore a lot of make-up. - I see.
That's why she couldn't take care of four puppies.
It was obvious that...
she couldn't take good care of them.
I provided medical care and...
found homes for them.
She got in touch after they'd been adopted.
She offered to reimburse me...
- and wanted the dogs back. - Again?
Yes, so I kept it short.
I told her money wasn't the issue and to never own a dog again.
You're just like Jane Goodall.
(Her love for animals is on par with Jane Goodall.)
How did she respond?
She got very upset and...
threatened to post it online.
She yelled at me.
- The woman who sent the package? - Yes.
- We were talking on the phone... - Are you going to throw a fist?
(Are you going to get into a fistfight again?)
Since you love dogs so much,
- I bet you don't have a boyfriend. - I do.
Really?
(Kyu Hyun is surprised at the confession.)
(Kang In is also taken aback.)
(Even the old men are shocked.)
(Seung Chul is shocked as well.)
- You do? - Yes.
- Yes. - A boyfriend?
It might be an assumption.
(There might be preconceptions.)
Just a moment. Why is everyone so surprised?
- It's out of character. - It might be my bias.
Women who love dogs don't tend to have boyfriends.
That's an incorrect assumption.
(That's an incorrect assumption.)
How long have you dated your boyfriend?
- It's been three years. - That's a long time.
Are you the same age?
Actually, Gook Jin has met him.
- Really? - Tell us.
Is he Gook Jin's friend?
(She's laughing out loud.)
I've always been a fan.
But I want to applaud Jong Shin today.
(Applause for the wittiest jokester)
But...
Wasn't he younger than you, Dana?
- No, he's older. - I see.
She's so cool about it.
Kyu Hyun always denies having a girlfriend.
- I really don't have a girlfriend. - How old-fashioned.
I was being honest.
Hey. Get up and go.
(Get up and go!)
Brave Brother, you have a dog called Bbenjji.
Bbenjji?
- His name is Bbenjji. - Does he reject you?
(Wordplay)
There goes the jokester again.
- Wow. - I get it now.
You're flying high today.
(Congratulations on your great jokes today.)
- That's great. - This is Bbenjji.
- How cute! - He's so cute.
- Yes. - He's so cute.
Are his eyes supposed to be like that?
His eyes are so far apart.
He can probably see what's behind him.
He looks like a flounder.
(His eyes look like a flounder's.)
Bbenjji's eyes are far apart even when he's looking at me.
I can't tell if he's looking at me when I call him.
(Bbenjji's sad because his eyes are so far apart.)
You were on "A Man Who Feeds the Dogs" with...
your dog Chun Hyang but you had to leave the show.
I hear you've brought Chun Hyang today.
- Wow. - Chun Hyang.
- She's pretty. - Bring her here.
- She's cute. - Chun Hyang.
Bulldogs tend to bite.
- She's going to Dana. - She doesn't bite.
I've seen her before. Does she still have skin problems?
(She turns suddenly.)
(Oh, my goodness.)
(His expression looks like a dinosaur is charging him.)
Kyu Hyun's running away.
- That surprised me. - She's adorable.
I think he trained her to bite you.
(I think he trained her to bite you.)
- Stay. - Is she mad?
Stay.
- She knows the command. - Chun Hyang, stay.
Shake.
(Crawling)
- She's cute. - Did you get her for...
- the programme? - No.
I had her before that.
(Snorting)
She's not mad. She just does that.
She snores a lot, too.
- Chun Hyang. - She's really cute.
- She's cute. - Chun Hyang.
I haven't touched a dog more than ten times in my life.
Who cares?
(We didn't ask you.)
Keep making noise when other people talk.
(So they can't be on the programme.)
- She knows about programmes. - Then why did you get cut?
- Kang In wasn't that good. - Why did they leave the show?
- It's... - Kang In was the issue.
- The dog seems fine. - I'm sorry.
(Do better next time.)
Brave Brother, on "I Live Alone",
your mum called you baby on the phone.
Hi baby.
- Baby. - Hello?
- She adores you? - She's always called me that.
Were you possessed as a child?
(Were you possessed by a baby's spirit?)
Gu Ra is saying anything today.
Be honest. Are you trying...
- to surpass Jong Shin? - I didn't see that coming.
- You've improved a lot. - No.
I stick to the script and say whatever I want, too.
I'm a multi-tasker.
(He's fulfilling his role on the show.)
I didn't know before.
- But my mum raised me like a girl. - Oh, I see.
When I see old pictures of myself,
I have barrettes in my hair and...
I'm wearing lacy socks.
I asked why she did that.
She said I was pretty like a girl.
(Laughing)
Don't imagine my current self.
- I always wore lace. - We can't help but compare.
Even though...
I'm older now and have caused trouble,
she still sees me like that.
I asked her why she calls me baby because it's embarrassing.
She calls me baby in front of my 50 employees.
I guess she sees me as a baby.
I think the nickname...
- suits you. - Right?
I don't think she called me that before I became successful.
- She didn't call you baby before? - I don't think so.
- Not before you became successful. - Right.
(Not before he became successful)
(Baby became successful.)
Brave Brother has some hidden charms.
His hobby is collecting pretty dishes.
His specialty is doing nail art.
- Are you good? - It's not that.
- Is it a hobby? - He enjoys it.
(He's thoroughly caring for his nails...)
(and applies nail polish.)
(He finishes by blowing on his nails.)
- Can I see? - He's not wearing manicures.
- I haven't done anything. - Just nail treatment?
Since I do dishes so much,
I have very dry hands.
I don't like wearing rubber gloves.
- I like that squeaky clean feeling. - Squeaky clean feeling?
You can't stand dishes in the sink.
- I hate that. - Have you also tried pedicures?
- No. - I have a feeling you have.
Right, baby?
Just once.
(I've done it once.)
(He's honest.)
Do you use...
those toe dividers?
- Like cotton between your toes? - I've done it once.
But I enjoy it.
(I enjoy it.)
(Brave Brother is really into nails.)
Seung Chul, you go camping...
with your fan club of 25 years every year.
I heard you nearly died once.
- I go camping several times a year. - Yes.
The fan club has been around for 28 years.
The president has bad eyesight now.
- She wears glasses during meetings. - I see.
- The president has bad eyesight. - "To Seung Chul..."
- He's good. - "To Seung Chul..."
He's so funny.
- "To Seung Chul..." - He's good.
- He's good. - Since you're getting older,
- so are your fans. - That's right.
During summer camp...
- Was it Typhoon Sarah? - Typhoon Maemi?
Yes, it was Typhoon Maemi.
While passing through the tunnel in Gangwon Province,
- Did it collapse? - I heard on the radio...
that it collapsed right after I passed through.
We had several buses.
The buses behind us were caught in the collapse.
- Thankfully, they weren't trapped. - Right.
- We went back to Seoul. - Really?
In 1995, I crossed Seongsu Bridge...
an hour before it collapsed.
I had been working in Gangnam and lived in Guui-dong.
I was in Fukuoka just above...
- Kumamoto. - Yes.
I got on the plane at 9 o'clock. The earthquake struck 30 minutes later.
- Wow. - That was lucky.
So get a grip.
(What did I do wrong?)
I'm sorry, but what did Kyu Hyun do wrong?
Is his role to speak nonsense?
(His role is to spew venom.)
I want him to value his life.
Dana, after your last appearance on Radio Star,
you earned the nickname Female Kim Hak Do for your impressions.
You did Lee So Ra before.
You did Hwa Yo Bi, Bobby Kim...
Park Hyo Shin, Lim Chang Jung and Yim Jae Beum.
- Do you have anything new? - I can do Kim Jong Seo.
Wow.
(They're looking forward to it.)
Although I can't
Say it's love
Now do Park Hyo Shin.
I didn't know
It was so hard for you
Now do Bobby Kim.
I spend the night drinking again
Please do Lim Chang Jung.
- Hello, it's me - What is this?
How are you?
Can you imitate Jong Shin?
Again...
- I can't. - She can't.
- That was sloppy. - I have a question.
- Can you imitate anyone? - I can't.
- He can imitate Kim Jong Pil. - "Why did you say that?"
(He is a former prime minister.)
Kim Jong Pil.
"We should merge the three parties."
(Why are you making fun of me?)
Kang In, I heard that you can imitate Choi Min Sik.
- He is good. - Really?
Kang In does a good impression.
He always makes us laugh.
- He's hilarious. - Please show us.
I'll re-enact the scene where he says...
- "I know your chief very well." - Right.
- He's good. - "Where is the chief?"
"He lives in Yeonsinnae, right?"
I will exaggerate a little.
"I know your chief very well."
"He lives in Yeonsinnae, right?"
(Kang In is doing his best.)
"Tell him to come here."
(Same expression and voice)
He's so good at re-enacting scenes related to the police.
- Right. - He has experience.
(Experience is the mother of wisdom.)
(Joking)
Sometimes, Kang In's fans bring signs...
with weird things written on them which makes him worry.
It happened just recently. Kyu Hyun, you were there, too.
- When? - There was a fan with a sign.
It said, "I am pregnant with Kang In's baby."
- I remember. - You remember that, right?
- I remember that. - I was so embarrassed.
I hadn't seen a sign like that before.
- Did you have a flashback? - No.
(Did you have a flashback?)
Honestly...
The hosts will say anything even if it's not true.
Our job is to attack the guests.
(We're here to embarrass you.)
That's funny.
- All our members were surprised. - They all looked at me.
They went, "What is that?"
- I said, "I don't know." - Right.
"I wouldn't do that. I'm not that kind of person."
I was shocked. I couldn't even turn my face in that direction.
I see.
Go back in 10 months time.
(Go back in 10 months time.)
She might bring her nephew or niece and lie about it again.
You are very good at ad-libs. You sound so natural.
- If I see a kid who looks like you, - Call me.
I will give them pocket money.
(Jong Shin teases Kang In.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Today, we are with four stars who have strong personalities.
Today's theme is a song that makes me soft.
Let's hear the song that Seung Chul chose.
He chose his own song.
- This is the song... - He hopes it'll become popular.
- Let's see how it turns out. - Yes.
Did you choose this song to push it into the top 100?
This is not the best time for me to appear on TV shows.
- I have a concert to prepare for. - I see.
But since he made this song for me, I wanted to make it a hit.
- I see. - I'm trying my best to promote it.
Why is the song titled "Diary"?
The song is about a timid man...
who writes a letter to say what he couldn't say after a breakup.
Is it from your own experience?
I used to be like that. I reminisced about the past as I wrote it.
The song is about pure love.
He is like a baby.
(He's so innocent.)
(Cute)
Seung Chul made another special request to our staff...
like he did the last time he appeared on our show.
He asked us to say this.
"Psy was ranked first in last year's nationwide tour rankings."
"Seung Chul was in second place."
You wanted us to talk about this record...
and ask you about your concerts scheduled this year.
(Embarrassed)
I think Seung Chul is not happy with his ranking.
- Psy had a concert in Korea. - Right.
Who took third place?
There aren't many singers who can hold nationwide tours.
I don't remember.
All of your concerts always sell out, right?
- He always sells out. - That's right.
Well... They are successful.
I'm embarrassed to say it.
(He's flustered.)
(Baffled)
- How is Kim Jang Hoon doing? - I know how he is doing.
He and I released a duet song on April 29th.
- The song title is "Don't Cry". - "Don't Cry"?
Why don't you sing the song here?
Please sing it for us.
Don't cry
You know that's life
Did you just make it up?
(Dana is feisty.)
- Dana is quite harsh. - She really is.
- Sing it properly. - He was out of tune.
You are a good singer.
Don't cry
- You know that's life - You know that's life
- What do you think? - Is that all?
- Didn't it sound good? - No, it didn't.
(Dana is very honest.)
This is a beautiful song. Let's hear the song, "Diary" by Lee Seung Chul.
"Diary".
("Diary" by Lee Seung Chul)
(Today, I am not the person you used to know)
(I don't feel happy even though I am walking with you)
(As I walk you home)
(We are walking alone in the street.)
(I can't say anything to you, I only keep my head down)
(His voice soothes our minds.)
(He's been the king of live performances for the past 30 years.)
(His fans have been supporting him.)
(It's broken just like my heart)
(I still haven't told you what I wanted to say)
(Our love is over)
(He is amazing.)
(Is it really over?)
(Have we really broken up?)
(It's a question, question, question)
(You don't even answer my questions)
(He has a voice like no other.)
(The lyrics are like the heart-felt words in a diary.)
(The lyrics come alive thanks to the king of live performances.)
(I can't say anything)
(I can only lower my head)
(The sentences I wrote in my diary)
(There are still some things I haven't written down.)
(The words are smudged with tears)
(The pages are torn)
(Just like my heart)
(He switches between falsetto and modal voice easily.)
(I still haven't told you what I wanted to say)
(Our love is over)
(It was indescribably beautiful.)
That was amazing. It's a hard song to sing.
- It's not an easy song. - It really is difficult.
You have to change your pitch and vocalisation.
- Exactly. - It's a very difficult song.
I think it's the most difficult song among all my songs.
- I have to change the tone a lot. - Exactly.
It's good for students who want to practise their singing.
I sang one of your songs for my entrance exam.
- Which song? - "Count to Ten".
("Count to Ten" by Lee Seung Chul)
I count to ten
Please sing it for us.
And when I turn around
(Seung Chul sings along.)
(He's a big fan.)
(Kang In joins in.)
(Dana covers Kang In's mouth.)
(His appealing voice makes us focus on him.)
(He makes eye contact.)
(I practise walking backwards again)
That's beautiful.
(That was a beautiful duet.)
- His songs are very difficult. - That's right.
- You shouldn't have sung. - I shouldn't sing?
Focus on your duet song.
("Don't Cry" by Kim Jang Hoon and Kang In)
Your songs helped me get through some hard times in the States.
What was your favourite?
Love that isn't love...
- Do you know the song? - Love is not a joke
("Love Is Not a Joke" by Tae Jin Ah)
He says some bad jokes.
(Love is not a joke)
(Kyu Hyun jokes around.)
Not long ago,
I asked him to sing "Irony" and "Ballerina Girl"...
at his concerts and he got mad.
There aren't many people who remember those songs.
(He sings "Irony" by Wonder Girls.)
(Dana and Kang In join him.)
I told you he makes bad jokes.
(Kyu Hyun made them laugh.)
Let's hear the song that Brave Brother chose.
(Nodding)
("Spotlight" by Punch and SILENTO)
"Spotlight" is Punch and SILENTO's song.
Why did you choose this song?
SILENTO debuted last year with his song "Watch Me".
The music video reached 800 million views last year.
He ranked 2nd on the music chart for 6 or 8 weeks.
SILENTO collaborated with Punch, an artist at my agency.
- He is a very young artist. - They sang it together?
He's only 15 years old. I produced their duet song.
- The song was released recently. - I see.
Didn't Punch say that he is a fan of mine?
Because his name is Punch?
Is that what you meant?
(Gu Ra likes Kang In's joke.)
(He made us laugh.)
How is Kim Sa Rang doing?
- She left my agency. - She did?
He is mean.
That's my job.
(Gu Ra is doing his job.)
Brave Brother, is your ultimate goal to become like YG?
I heard your office looks a lot like YG's office.
- I like collecting action figures. - I see.
I've been fond of toys since I was a child.
Many people do say that I copy YG.
- You're good friends with YG. - Yes, and I worked at...
- YG Entertainment for 8 or 9 years. - You worked there for a long time.
They say he influenced on you.
- Of course I was influenced by him. - Right.
But it's not like my goal is to become like YG.
- I just want to make a good agency. - That's right.
I am trying my best as a young businessman.
Do you always wear a hat to look like YG?
That's not true. I haven't told you this.
But I have a big scar on my forehead.
I am ashamed of the scar.
- I haven't had it removed. - Did you get that in the past?
Why don't you grow your hair...
to cover your forehead?
- With straight bangs? - He would look so funny.
- With straight bangs. - Like this.
- Like this. - Let's hear him out.
How about bangs?
I once grew my hair but I looked like a hoodlum.
(He looked like a hoodlum.)
(I want to wear a hat.)
Someone else will sing the song on behalf of Brave Brother.
- Punch will sing "Spotlight". - Punch.
- There he is. - Go, Punch.
("Spotlight" by Punch)
(All night, I have been watching you)
(Brave Brother)
(JYP uses similar sound effects.)
(Brave Brother watches like a nervous dad.)
(Punch starts to relax.)
(Here I go.)
(Punch starts dancing.)
(He shows off his dance steps.)
(Electrifying beat and performance)
(Brave Brother smiles happily.)
(The 15-year-old artist...)
(takes over the stage with his skilful dance.)
(He gives an amazing performance on behalf of Brave Brother.)
Punch.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I am Punch, the youngest artist in the agency.
- It's nice to meet you. - He's good at speaking Korean.
Does Brave Brother treat you well?
Yes, he treats me like his own son.
He always makes me feel great.
This sounds rehearsed.
Do you have anything you would like to say to him?
Well, Sir.
I haven't told you this before.
Thank you and I love you.
- What is this? - Did you two rehearse this?
What was that?
- Did you give him the lines? - I don't make my artists do that.
- I really hate doing that. - Let's say he didn't.
Punch, when did Kim Sa Rang leave the agency?
I don't know the exact date.
I heard that it was last year.
- Punch. - Yes?
- Punch is so adorable. - Did you...
- My son will release his song soon. - I see.
- I hope you'll be friendly rivals. - He's good at speaking Korean.
(Punch makes a strong impression.)
We have met the toughest celebrities today.
Let's hear how our guests are feeling now starting with Kang In.
Please give me another chance.
- I will do better next time. - Okay.
- Please invite me on again. - Okay.
- Dana, how do you feel? - Yes.
I appeared on this show two years ago.
The four of you have...
kept your positions for all these years.
I feel proud of you.
- We have changed a lot. - Brave Brother, please tell us.
It didn't feel like I was on a TV show.
I had fun and relieved my stress. I had a wonderful time.
- Thank you for that. - Make eye contact with Dana.
Okay.
(It feels like he's being scolded.)
Seung Chul, how did you feel today?
I realised that the four of you haven't changed at all.
(They stick to their routine.)
- The four of you are amazing. - Okay.
- I had a great time today. - Okay.
Someone once said,
"It's not that the strongest survives."
"It's that those who survive are strong."
In the music industry which is filled with critics,
- you survived. You're the... - Champion.
- People who love music are the... - You're not a singer.
- champion! - Champion!
- "Champion." - Give it a try.
"Champion."
- Champion. - Champion.
- Let's try it again. - Okay.
- If you scream, you are a... - Champion!
- People who love music are the... - Champion!
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please! - Please!
