(Today's guests on Radio Star)
(Jeong Jin Woon, the king of dance)
(Jo Hyun Ah of Urban Zakapa)
More than 100,000 dollars?
(Kian84 and Park Tae Jun, popular webtoon artists)
(Their true selves will be revealed.)
(Jeong Jin Woon shows his funny dance moves.)
- You shouldn't do that. - That was great.
(Jo Hyun Ah shows off her rap skills.)
Singers these days are weird.
(They're out of control. They give us a big laugh.)
Look here when you speak.
- From here... - Don't do that.
(They're crazy and funny.)
("Crazy Friends Special" begins now.)
Today, we'll meet crazy friends who've been exuding...
their charming craziness.
It's "Crazy Friends Special".
The first guest...
debuted as a member of 2AM, a group with amazing singers.
Nine years later, he reached his career's peak with his dance.
He marked a new era for dancers.
He is the dancing machine of our time.
- The king of dance, Jeong Jin Woon. - Mystic Entertainment.
(Mystic Entertainment is Jin Woon's agency.)
(Jong Shin is embarrassed.)
- He joined my agency. - He's with Mystic Entertainment?
He's with Mystic Entertainment now.
(He tries to ignore Gu Ra.)
Whenever she releases a new song, she sweeps the music charts,
but no one recognises her when she walks around the streets.
That's a good thing.
Because of the person who has the same name as her,
she still avoids eating peanuts in the plane.
Jo Hyun Ah of Urban Zakapa.
- Hyun Ah is here. - Right.
He appeared on "I Live Alone" and "Infinite Challenge" as well.
This is the third variety show on MBC he's appeared on.
He appears on many MBC variety shows.
He's a popular webtoon artist who created craze...
with "Fashion King" and "Back to School King".
However, he often misses his deadlines,
so he gets a lot of harsh comments.
He's like the Tak Jae Hoon in the world of webtoons.
He is Kian84, the king of tardiness.
You shouldn't do that.
The script says Jun Hyun Moo.
Why did you say Tak Jae Hoon?
- I see. - Are you trying to defend him?
He's not as tardy as Tak Jae Hoon.
(He apologises.)
It's true.
The next guest became famous because of his handsome face.
All of a sudden, he transformed into a webtoon artist.
As soon as he debuted with his webtoon, "Lookism",
his webtoon had the most views on Naver.
He also runs an online store that makes 30 million dollars a year.
However, he's just an attention seeker. Park Tae Jun.
Welcome.
He's an attention seeker?
- They're coming in. - Hello.
- He's an attention seeker. - Hello.
- Hyun Ah is here. - Right.
I saw what you brought.
Why did you bring so many CDs no one wants?
- Pardon? - Are they for us?
These are my CDs.
I'll give them a little later.
Are they Hyun Ah's CDs?
Oh, they're Hyun Ah's.
Can I give them now?
Yes. Her album is successful, so I'll take one.
What do you mean by that?
- Her album is very successful. - What about mine?
I've been checking music charts because of my son,
and her song had been ranked the top for a long time.
- I should listen to this. - Their faces don't look familiar.
(Their song is popular, but their faces aren't familiar.)
Jin Woon, please give us your CDs.
- I'll give you mine later. - Please give us now.
- No. - Goodness.
- Fine, then. - I'll give it to you later.
Even if I haven't seen your CD yet.
(Even the owner of his agency hasn't seen his CD yet.)
Jin Woon, you've become very popular because of your dance.
I hear that people start laughing whenever they see you.
That's true. They laugh even when I try to look serious.
- Is your dance that famous? - I think it's a good thing.
- The number of hits... - Please tell us.
The show was aired three weeks ago,
and the video already has over 500,000 views.
I realised that it's gotten popular.
- We need to see his dance. - I'm curious about his dance.
- Right. Please show us. - Please show us your dance.
For a dancer, it's important to...
align the lines of your shirt and trousers.
Today, I added sexiness to my style.
I aligned the lines at the front.
- The lines at the front? - The lines at the front?
I aligned the line on my shirt...
- with this line on my trousers. - Don't move your hand down.
(Please don't do anything inappropriate.)
- The two lines are aligned. - I see.
- I can see that. - They're aligned.
Those lines should remain aligned even while you dance, right?
The dance I'll show you today...
- can entertain every Korean. - I see.
I'll show you how middle-aged men and women dance.
- Middle-aged men's dance? - The middle-aged men's dance...
- has a very long history. - Right.
Could you play some music?
Please play just a bit.
This is like the history of Koreans' dance.
- That's right. - Okay.
- It has Koreans' sentiment. - That's right.
Here goes the king of dance.
(He prepares himself to dance.)
Okay. He's...
- He's gathering energy in his body. - I see.
- He's warming up. - He's gathering energy in his body,
and now, he's going to begin.
(He gathers all the energy in the studio.)
(He's fully charged now.)
- Look at him. - Please play music now.
- It's his job.
They chose a good song.
(As an exciting pop song plays,)
(he transforms into a middle-aged man.)
(As if seeds sprout,)
(he starts dancing like a middle-aged man.)
(He makes a sound like a drunken middle-aged man.)
I'm going to show the middle-aged women's dance now.
(He moves onto the middle-aged women's dance.)
(He transforms into a middle-aged woman.)
(He strikes a pose that middle-aged women usually do.)
(It looks like a party in a tourist bus.)
Thank you.
He kept the lines aligned.
You must keep them aligned...
no matter what.
- I think people would... - He showed the basic moves.
- either love or hate his dance. - I showed the basic moves.
"Smiling clown dance" was the popular one.
- Please show us. - For "smiling clown dance",
the facial expression is important.
You know how a clown has to smile even when he's sad.
- That's true. - So,
your lips are smiling...
- while your eyes look sad. - I see.
Oh, I see.
It symbolises the pain of our lives.
Can you see?
- Can you see the sadness? - Right.
(Why is he making his eyes look like that?)
With this facial expression, pose like a clown.
(He poses like a clown while maintaining the facial expression.)
That's right.
Maintain this waistline curve.
- This is very important. - What's next?
- That's all. - That's all.
(He's enlightened.)
What more do you want?
- How do you dance to music? - That's good enough as it is.
- He showed the move without music. - It was funny even without music.
Could you mix all the dance moves you just showed us this time?
- I'll give it a try. - Jin Woon.
- Please play the music. - He'll do the dance to music.
Please mix the dance moves.
(He gets ready for transformation.)
(He transforms into a middle-aged man again.)
Kim Shin Young used to dance like this.
He's changing the dance move now.
(The king of dance wraps up with smiling clown dance.)
(It also looks a bit like Moon Hee Jun's dance.)
(I'm here to save the sad souls.)
(I have faith in you.)
I think people would either love or hate his dance.
(The more you see, the more meaningful his dance looks.)
- That was funny. - Jin Woon, what made you...
change so much after you left JYP Entertainment?
- I'm just doing whatever I want. - I see.
He's really good at funny dance.
As my agency values freedom, he released his true self.
(He expresses himself freely.)
Admit it. It's just that you can't keep him under control.
- You can't keep him under control. - That's not true.
- We let our artists be free. - That's nonsense.
- All right. - Okay.
- Kyu Hyun, please go ahead. - Let's move on.
Hyun Ah, actually, I...
There's another question for Jin Woon. Why did you skip it?
Why did you skip a question...
- for the artist under my agency? - It's not like that. Look.
"Jin Woon, you became the king of..."
- "The king of... The king of..." - Go on.
- Why can't you pronounce that word? - What's wrong with you?
- Why is it so hard to pronounce it? - "The king of dance".
- You won the Grand Award. - Jin Woon...
- became the king of... - The king of dance.
The king of dance.
He became the king of dance after he appeared on the show.
What was that? You're one of the hosts of this show.
He became the king of dance after his appearance on the show,
but he thought he would be scolded by Jong Shin.
- Why would he scold Jin Woon? - In fact...
- Why would he scold you, Jin Woon?
Park Jin Young would have scolded you.
When Kwon first showed his funny dance on a TV show,
Jin Young called him from the US.
He told Kwon not to do it again because we released a ballad song.
He scolded Kwon. As this is my first album since I joined this agency,
- I tried hard... - He was very worried.
to make this album successful and create a good image.
I thought that the agency had some ideas of how I should...
- create my image. - I bet Jong Shin had no idea.
I didn't have any ideas.
- He never plans any strategies. - I thought he did.
I just hoped that his new album would be a success.
His agency doesn't plan any promotion strategies.
- We let our artists be free. - I thought...
- He doesn't focus on promoting. - Exactly.
I was worried he might be upset,
but after the show was aired, he posted it on his SNS.
- He loved it, didn't he? - Yes.
I realised that this agency suits me so well.
- He complimented Jin Woon instead. - I'm proud of him.
- Thank you for asking the question. - Can we move on now?
Yes. Let's move on.
Jin Woon, is it okay with you, too?
He skipped the question because he couldn't pronounce the words.
(He's trying to improve his pronunciation.)
Hyun Ah, Urban Zakapa is...
one of the most popular singer songwriter bands.
I was surprised when I first heard your name...
because the individual members weren't as famous as your band.
Since this is your first time here, please tell us about your songs.
My friend's ring back tone is her band's song.
It goes like this. Baby time...
- Baby, Baby, you are... - That's the song. What is the song?
- It's "Café Latte". - Oh, I see.
Please sing us your song starting with "Café Latte".
Baby, Baby, you are like caramel macchiato
Your sweet scent still remains around my lips
- Baby - She has such a good voice.
- Her voice is beautiful. - Baby
- Tonight - Thank you.
- This song is popular. - Sing "My Love", please.
Baby, my love
This song has "Baby" in the lyrics, too.
- That's right. - She sings...
- She keeps singing "Baby". - It's addictive.
Maybe, she has a baby.
- She has such a beautiful voice. - I don't love you
- "I Don't Love You". - "I Don't Love You".
- The song became a hit, too. - I don't love you
("I Don't Love You" was ranked 1st on 8 music charts for 16 days.)
She's amazing. This song was at the top of the music charts.
(Everyone sings along as if it were her concert.)
(The other guests form a fan club.)
She sounds like she means what she sings.
I don't want to say
That I'm sorry
Or to beg for your forgiveness
(The hosts are shocked.)
He only learned to do bad things.
(He's still excited.)
- Think of how Jin Young taught you. - That was great.
Jin Young didn't teach you to be like this.
- She's amazing. - Hyun Ah...
- She has such a good voice. - looks like...
Bette Midler, the old American singer.
She also looks a bit like Jeon Won Ju when she was young.
- I think she looks like them. - What makes you think so?
- Her face looks like them? - Haven't you heard that before?
- I haven't heard that before. - I thought so.
Some people say...
- I look like Kim Shin Young. - Kim Shin Young?
- She looks like Kim Shin Young. - Right.
Your hairstyle is similar to Kim Jang Hoon's.
- It's similar to Kim Byung Ji's. - That's right.
(She looks like a lot of celebrities.)
There are two male members in your band.
Do they only produce the songs...
like some of the members of Clazziquai?
No, that's not true.
- Do they sing as well? - You've never seen our performance.
- All three of us sing together. - Is that true?
- We make songs together, too. - I didn't hear their voices.
- They sing together. - Kwon Sun Il.
- Kwon Sun Il. I see. - Park Yong In.
Park Yong In.
- Do they really sing? - Yes.
They sing, too. They're real people.
They're real people.
(The male members of Urban Zakapa are real people.)
Have you ever been in a romantic relationship...
with one of these...
two male members?
There's no way I would go out with any one of them.
I've known them for 10 years.
Whenever I see them, I tell myself...
that I shouldn't date a guy like them.
I realised how guys like them treat their girlfriends.
They haven't even been known to the world yet,
and they're said to be guys to avoid.
(They're real people and bad guys.)
Jin Woon and Hyun Ah are...
close friends, which is unexpected.
Exactly. They seem to be close.
In the interview with our writer, Jin Woon said...
that Hyun Ah swears all the time...
- and drinks a lot. - I'm sorry.
He said that she's like a gangster RnB singer.
This is her first time on a variety show.
- Is this appropriate on a TV show? - He said she's like a gangster.
Do you act weird when you're drunk like Park Na Rae?
- No, I don't. - Is that so?
I'm not like her.
I have different sides.
When I'm on a TV show, I try to be quiet and well-mannered.
I try to look professional...
by telling musical knowledge.
- In reality, - She's a smooth talker.
I'm quite open-minded. I used to be in a hip hop group when I was young.
I think that might have made Jin Woon finds me...
to be a little tough.
The way you talked makes me think that he'll be beaten by you later.
- What's your age difference? - I'm two years older than him.
That's not a big age difference.
Is there any possibility that you two will become a couple?
- No. - Not at all.
(Gu Ra keeps guessing wrong.)
Hyun Ah, there's a song you're featured on...
- from his new album. - That's right.
You said that you thought he had asked other singers before you.
Who did you ask first?
- Lee Sun Hee. - I see.
- I bet he knew she would decline. - I think so, too.
When you compose a song,
you imagine a voice that would suit the song.
- I thought of Lee Sun Hee first. - Did you compose the song?
- Yes, I composed the song myself. - I see.
I think it's time to give you my CDs.
- All of a sudden? - I know.
- I'll give Jong Shin first. - I almost forgot about your CDs.
I wanted to wait for the right moment.
I saw this CD left behind in the office.
- It was your CD. - This is...
- my band's logo that I designed. - He designed this logo...
- and showed it to me. - What's this?
- This is the logo you showed me. - That's right.
- It's unique. - You showed it to the camera.
- This is his band's logo. - That's the logo.
Hey, bring me the dried laver.
(He's a model of a dried laver brand.)
Get me the dried laver.
Bring me the liver supplement.
- Bring the dried laver. - I want to promote my album, too.
Bring me the liver supplement.
Jin Woon's album is ranked lower than the 100th...
while Urban Zakapa's album was ranked the first for a few weeks.
You can tell how much more it cost to produce Jin Woon's album.
You should have made his CD look cheaper like this.
Rankings don't determine...
- the value of music. - You don't mean that.
You look upset.
You could have saved so much money.
You can just download some images from a website.
This is much better.
- Look at this. - Right. Jin Woon.
- Download images next time. - You take your photos yourself.
Okay. I'll do it myself.
- Look at this. - Take photos with your phone.
- This doesn't cost much. - But it's nice.
We even went to Germany to take some of the pictures.
It was useless.
- Why did you have to go to Germany? - Exactly.
- Why did you go to Germany? - His album was ranked the 102th.
- The songs matter the most. - You can go to a bar instead.
Mr Kian84... That sounds odd.
What should I call him?
- Kian84... - That's his pen name.
Many people know what his pen name means,
but we don't.
"84" means you were born in 1984, right?
That's right.
What does "Kian" means?
There's this town called "Kian-dong" in Hwaseong.
- Oh, you named it after the town? - I lived there when I debuted.
- That's why your name is "Kian84". - That's why.
- I see. - Is your real name a secret?
- No, it's on the internet. - He made a funny sound.
What is your real name?
It's Kim Hee Min.
- Kim Hee Min? - Yes.
You sound a bit like Choi Yang Rak.
- "No, it's just..." - When I'm nervous...
"that I lived in Kian-dong..."
When I'm nervous, I tend to speak in a high-pitched voice.
- Is that so? That's interesting. - He speaks faster as he goes on.
- Yang Rak does that. - Kian84 does the same.
"And then, I did this."
Kian84 from Kian-dong...
appeared on "I Live Alone" and "Infinite Challenge"...
since February, and he's on Radio Star right now.
- He appeared on many TV shows. - Why do you appear on TV often?
Actually, I lost my confidence...
as a webtoon artist lately.
- I shouldn't say this on a TV show. - He looks so serious.
- He really looks serious. - That's funny.
- He looks so serious. - I get it.
- This is what they meant before. - You want to distract the readers?
I thought I should promote my webtoon...
- so I can attract more readers. - You can attract more readers.
- I see. - Whenever I appear on a TV show,
more people read my webtoon.
(The number of hits increases whenever he appears on a TV show.)
What are you looking at while talking to us?
- What are you looking at? - The lighting.
- I saw the lighting and... - I see.
- You can just look at the camera. - I'm fascinated by the equipment.
- I thought something was up there. - He kept looking up.
(I almost fooled them.)
Your webtoon manager didn't like the idea...
of you appearing on Radio Star. Is that true?
That's because... I'm not sure about telling this. It's embarrassing.
- What is it? - He's peculiar.
- He scolded me when I decided to... - Go on.
- appear on "Infinite Challenge". - I see.
He scolded you because you never meet your deadline.
That's right. I said, "Even if I get invited to be on Radio Star,"
"I will turn down the offer."
I got a call from the programme that evening.
I told them this will be the last show I appear on.
This will be your last show?
Will Radio Star be your last show then?
Well,
they won't worry if I meet the deadline.
- You could be on "Running Man". - He wants to be on more shows.
Does that mean you will become an entertainer like Kim Poong?
Poong does not draw webtoons any more.
I am a webtoon artist.
- You will be like Kang Full. - No, it's not like that.
I will work hard on my webtoon since people love it.
Where are you looking at?
Look at the camera.
- Should I look here? - Yes.
- You should go up there. - Do I really need to do that?
Let's hang ourselves on the wall.
Look at me or the camera here.
Why would you look elsewhere when you talk?
- Look at the camera. - Okay.
Looking at you in the eye...
makes me nervous.
- Then, you can look at the camera. - That one?
Imagine that I am talking like this.
"Hello, I am Kim Gu Ra."
"What do you think, Kian84?" It would be strange.
That was good.
(Really?)
Imagine that...
all your characters in the webtoon look at empty spaces...
when they are talking to somebody. It would be strange.
Actually, the female protagonists in his webtoon have empty eyes.
- You will know when you see them. - Is that so?
The heroine doesn't look at the male protagonist properly.
He draws them like that on purpose.
(His characters resemble his gaze.)
I have a question.
All of your female characters...
have big, feline eyes with monolids.
Is that the characteristic of your ideal type?
- No, it's not. - They are all pretty.
I live in Suwon.
I could see many women who look like that around Suwon Station.
- At the North Gate or the South? - I am serious.
It was the same in Anyang, too.
I have noticed that women have similar looks.
(He's a keen observer as a webtoon artist.)
Kian84 said to Tae Jun,
"Thanks to me, you got invited to Radio Star."
Did his words get on your nerves?
When I get invited to be on TV shows,
I want to tell all my friends. I bragged to Kian84 all the time.
I told him every time I got to appear on TV.
Actually, Radio Star invited me once.
They said the shoot would take place two weeks later.
At first, I told the scriptwriter on the phone,
"I don't know if I am qualified..."
"to be on such a popular show."
"I will give it some thoughts." Then I hung up.
I did not want to look desperate.
I called Kian84 right away. "I am going to be on Radio Star."
"This is how popular I am."
I went to a dermatologist in Cheongdam-dong that day...
and got an expensive facial treatment.
Unfortunately, the shoot got cancelled.
- I see. - It happens.
I was devastated.
After that, when Kian84 told me he was going to be on this show,
I had mixed feelings.
It felt as if the woman I loved was seeing another man.
That's ridiculous.
- He sure is an artist. - I can't believe he felt that way.
- That's ridiculous. - He said something else to me.
- You're exaggerating. - What did he say?
- He asked me to take him with me. - No.
I never said that.
You shouldn't lie on TV.
- You did ask me that. - No.
- I never asked him for that. - Yes, you did.
I did not. I didn't say that.
(It's a lie.)
Kian84 speaks the same way on TV...
as he does in real life.
While we are using a specific tone of voice for TV,
- he is using his normal tone. - Yes, he is.
I think he is also wearing an outfit he wears at home.
I wore the same T-shirt on a different shoot yesterday.
(They laugh.)
- Which show was it? - "I Live Alone".
Are you a regular guest?
They told me that I am,
but they replace guests...
- when the viewer rating drops. - I am sure it will happen.
(Gu Ra's words will come true.)
I wondered why Tae Jun appears on...
so many programmes these days.
You said that you want to be an attention seeker.
To be honest,
I think everyone here is an attention seeker.
- Really? - It's in your job description.
I understand what you are trying to say.
All of us provide music, comedy or webtoon to the public...
and enjoy getting feedbacks for our works.
That's why I think all of us are attention seekers.
It's true that our job demands it.
However, celebrities like Gook Jin...
prefer to avoid the public attention in real life.
Gook Jin does not use any social media websites.
Neither do I.
However, Jong Shin is different.
He often posts on social media.
- Not everyone is like that. - Tae Jun just want to point out...
that we crave attention in varying degrees.
We get curious about the public's feedbacks.
I can explain it.
Attention seekers are those...
who constantly post on social media websites...
to get attention.
They might post selfies or personal things...
that are controversial.
Who are you to define the term?
- I just gave it a try. - She is an attention seeker.
(Attention seeker)
Tae Jun, yours is the most popular one among all webtoons on Naver.
- I didn't know that. - "Lookism".
Since you sold the copyright, there will be a film adaptation...
- like Kian84's "Fashion King". - It's exciting.
Which actors do you wish to be in the film?
I want the one who played Jung Bong in "Reply 1988".
I wish Ahn Jae Hong would play the protagonist.
Ahn Jae Hong.
I also wish Park Bo Gum would be in the film.
I think he fits the role perfectly.
If it gets made into a film,
Will Vasco and Jay Park star in the film as well?
- I would love that. - Do they appear on the webtoon?
Yes, they do.
Would you cast us in your webtoon?
(Kyu Hyun is hopeful.)
- Not really. - I am not interested.
- Why are you soliciting? - I am not interested.
- We are not interested. - I love "Lookism".
Include him as a character who joins the army.
(Salute!)
You don't get to cast the actors, though.
I don't. However, I asked them...
- to cast me. - In the film?
- He wants to be in the film. - I want a small role.
- He is an attention seeker. - He really is.
(I want more attention.)
Recently, dramas and films...
- based on webtoons are successful. - That's right.
Yoon Tae Ho's "Misaeng" is a good example.
The film adaptation of "Fashion King" was unsuccessful.
(Disheartened)
I felt bad for him. When "Fashion King" was released,
he felt honoured to have his work made into a film.
I went to the premiere as he invited me over. When I got there,
I saw Kian84 standing alongside the director, Joo Won and Sulli.
He said, "Hello, I am Kian84, the artist of the original work."
Then he sat down.
I was so envious of him.
Then, the movie started.
People laughed for the first five minutes.
After 30 minutes,
no one laughed although there were times they should.
There was too much silence.
I looked at him to see his reaction and found him leaving the theatre.
(Kian84's best friend reveals the secret.)
- How could he do that? - Did you see it for the first time?
Why did you leave?
There were some scenes that were meant to make people laugh,
after some time there only remained silence.
I'd like to say to him, "Enjoy. It won't last long."
(It won't be the same once the film is released.)
Jin Woon, you are the king of dance.
You said in an interview...
that all of your dance is the result...
- of your heartfelt practice. - That's right.
That means your dance was not improvised.
No. I studied to create them.
- Jin Woon doesn't just make up. - Park Jin Young taught you dancing.
That's right. He told me delicacy matters the most.
He taught me that.
He told me to dance sincerely.
It's the truth. He also told me to follow the lyrics.
You are the king of dance.
Tell us the flaws of Park Jin Young's dance.
- Tell us as the king of dance. - There are flaws.
- Yes.
He is too narcissistic.
He doesn't have much interest in expressing something genuine.
- Let us know about it. - Show us an example.
This is how I do the body roll.
I have recently been to Mexico.
- I studied the waves... - There he goes again.
of the Caribbean Sea.
- Isn't he amazing? - He is.
He became a free spirit after moving to my agency.
When Jin Young does the body roll,
he goes like this.
(Attack of the Bottoms)
It's too sexy.
It looks too sexy from the back.
It's too sexy.
Now, imagine the Caribbean Sea.
I will show you the Caribbean Sea.
(Gentle waves break on the shore.)
This is the Caribbean Sea.
He is thinking about the waves.
(He imitates the waves with his hand.)
(Everyone is hypnotised by his moves.)
(The king of dance has transformed into a gull.)
- Is he a gull? - This is the Caribbean Sea.
You can feel it, right? Did you feel it?
- Did you feel the Caribbean Sea? - That's how he dances.
The nature itself is my inspiration.
- I can show you Africa, too. - It's naturalism.
- I saw a gull in his dance. - You did, right?
My dance described the Caribbean Sea.
Park Jin Young needs to improve his dance skills.
(The original king of dance is criticised harshly.)
It seems like you are into nature these days.
Your ostrich dance was very impressive, too.
- I went to Africa. - Did you come up with a new dance?
I found out that I could not capture its vast plains with a camera.
I looked at the plains...
and pondered on how I could express them.
Then I thought of an ostrich running across the plain.
This is what people usually do to imitate an ostrich,
but I think it is wrong.
It is important to describe its long neck and the head.
(He becomes the king of dance again.)
- I am at the vast plain. - It's the vast plain.
- He is feeling it. - Let's see.
(He bends over.)
(Here comes an ostrich.)
He is like an ostrich.
(His dance reminds us...)
(of the animal kingdom in the Serengeti.)
(A flock of wild ostriches is looking for food.)
- That's the dance. - That was great.
What he said about Park Jin Young's dance is quite convincing.
It is, right?
Have you talked to Park Jin Young after you earned the nickname?
I see him regularly.
What does he say?
Why don't you have a dance battle with him?
He might be afraid of it. He never suggested it.
(Park Jin Young is mocked three times today.)
Tae Jun...
- also prepared a dance. - Did I?
He asked the scriptwriters not to mention it in the script...
but prepared and delivered the music for his dance.
How about now you show us?
He is a typical attention seeker.
(Attention seeker)
I am a horrible dancer.
He even directed how the songs should be played.
"Fiction", "Pick Me", "Bang Bang Bang" and "Eggs are here".
- That's the order he insisted on. - What will he show us?
- I will be honest. - Jin Woon, judge his dance.
- Okay. - I'm not a good dancer...
but this dance is applicable to any music.
- Really? - I dance with particular steps.
- Give us the music. - Let's see it.
It's the music he has prepared.
I can dance to any music.
(His skinny legs move hurriedly.)
(His face is relaxed.)
What kind of a dance is this?
He is dancing to "Fiction".
(He shows a brilliant smile that suits the song.)
(The steps are the same.)
He looks cute.
(He desires to be on the stage.)
("Bang Bang Bang" by Big Bang)
(He is feeling the rhythm.)
(I can feel it.)
(It's copied and pasted.)
Is he avoiding bullets?
(He is fast enough to avoid bullets.)
- Is he avoiding bullets? - This is great.
(He dances even more cheerfully.)
(Everyone is impressed by his steps.)
(His steps fall to the beat.)
"Eggs are here."
(He can apply the steps to any music.)
(He is eager to dance.)
Go and dance with him.
(Go and dance with him.)
(He quietly goes up to the stage.)
What is that?
(The king of dance desperately looks for eggs.)
(His hands show his desperation.)
(He eventually imitates a chicken.)
Keep on dancing.
Look at the dance.
They are collecting eggs.
(Here are the eggs.)
Please stop now.
Stop. Stop.
There should be sincerity in dance.
It was quite unique.
It was the most avant-garde performance in Radio Star.
(He showed the most avant-garde performance.)
It was very entertaining.
I wanted to be sincere.
(He likes to dance with sincerity.)
Jin Woon left JYP Entertainment last year...
- This story is very sincere. - and went to Mystic Entertainment.
- I didn't even finish it. - This is sincere.
- I have always been sincere. - Many people wondered...
why you chose Mystic Entertainment.
- You had your reason. - That's right.
"I wanted to avoid big agencies that would not give me attention."
Mystic Entertainment is big, too.
Do you think my agency is small?
Mystic Entertainment is on its way of becoming big.
It is getting there.
Were you kicked out from JYP Entertainment?
Didn't they intend to renew the contract?
They did,
but I gave the matter some serious thoughts.
"Which entertainment agency needs a character like me?"
I seriously pondered on it.
Mystic Entertainment came to mind.
I wanted to act, appear on variety shows...
and make music.
"Which entertainment agency can provide me these opportunities?"
I think you will only end up on variety shows.
I can see it happening now.
You made a wrong decision.
You may be right,
but I decided after much deliberations.
My friends and I concluded that I should go to Mystic Entertainment.
I have a question.
Why did Lim Seul Ong leave JYP Entertainment?
- He wants to become an actor. - Yes, he does.
- He appears in many works. - Yes, he does.
I don't think I should say this.
- It's okay, you can tell us. - You need to be honest.
- Every work he has been on... - It was unsuccessful.
- was unsuccessful. - He moved to iHQ.
He keeps featuring on songs these days.
Seul Ong does?
Wouldn't it be better for him to join Mystic Entertainment?
Do you think our agency is a refugee camp?
(Jong Shin, the CEO is angry.)
In the interview, Jin Woon shared a story of Jong Shin's good deed.
Don't do that.
Jong Shin is the CEO of the agency where Jin Woon belongs.
- This is unnecessary. - I noticed that only Gu Ra's...
- good deeds are introduced. - That's not true.
It is true. Last time, you induced Sae Ho to tell such stories.
Let's hear the story.
- Hear the story first. - Recently,
Jong Shin gave you...
the used wallet he cherished.
That is a backhanded remark.
It's the same thing as...
"I wanted to avoid big agencies that would not give me attention."
What kind of a gift is a used wallet?
It was the most cherished one among his used wallets.
I carried the wallet like this.
- That's how you used it. - This is...
what he said.
"I made a lot of money while using this wallet."
"I wish you would succeed."
He just took out his wallet...
and removed everything inside to give it to me.
What's the brand?
I am not sure, but it's crocodile leather.
It's crocodile leather.
Is it worn out?
- It's almost new. - It is not very worn out.
The leather has just gotten soft.
An acquaintance of mine owns the brand.
Really?
I knew it.
They give their products to celebrities for free.
Even I received their products.
- That's what happened. - My goodness.
Their products are good.
Everyone in my agency uses their wallets.
(I see.)
People are not familiar with your face, but you're famous, Hyun Ah.
You were taken aback by the scandal of someone who has the same name.
The scandal made my name to be the most popular word on the internet.
- I bet. - I agree.
That was a big social scandal.
I hated hearing my name.
They call your name at hospitals.
At a hospital, they go,
"Please come in, Jo Hyun Ah."
- That's right. - It gets shown on the screen, too.
I hated it. I avoided such places...
for a while.
Did you avoid using Korean Air, too?
I had no choice but to use Korean Air.
I could not order peanuts.
(She was self-conscious.)
I wanted it so much, but I couldn't ask for it.
You couldn't order peanuts.
I bet you love peanuts.
- Yes, I do. - I knew it.
You throw it in the air and catch it with your mouth, right?
Yes, I can do that.
I bet she does this.
Something happened in the flight once.
A flight attendant spilled some wine on me.
She got so flustered...
and brought me a box of chocolate.
That wasn't the end of it. She returned...
and offered me a bottle of wine.
She told me to take it with me.
- It was after the Nut Rage scandal. - That's right.
I said to myself, "She must know."
Know what?
She must have known that my name is Jo Hyun Ah.
(She has the same name as the woman behind the scandal.)
Hyun Ah, your special talent is voice imitation.
You can imitate Hyun Sook and Horan.
That sounds interesting.
Please imitate Horan first.
I will imitate Horan first.
Ah. Ah.
Wait. I'm deciding which song I should imitate.
Open the window The weather is nice
Are you making fun of Horan?
I am not, Horan is my close friend.
She sounded just like Horan.
Open the window
She sounds a bit like Hyun Sook.
Street vendor
Her voice sounded like Hyun Sook's.
- Is that Horan's voice? - Yes, it is.
- Open the window - It's Hyun Sook's voice.
Imitate Hyun Sook now.
Hula, hula, hula Hula, hula, hula
(She is better at imitating Hyun Sook.)
This one is better.
Her voice imitation of Horan was good, too.
I think you will be good at imitating Lee So Ra.
Lee So Ra?
(She prepares to make a nasal voice.)
(Breathing out)
- Are you making fun of Lee So Ra? - No, I am not.
What's happening to the music industry?
She makes fun of senior artists...
- by imitating their voices. - I'm not making fun of them.
What else do you call that?
(I will forget myself)
(Kyu Hyun is copying her facial expressions.)
That was great.
- Don't I sound exactly like her? - It sounded similar.
- I am not making fun of her. - Hyun Ah...
imitated Hyun Sook and Lee So Ra.
I heard that you will also show us an alien rap.
- They have so much to show. - Everyone's amazing today.
I have done this in my concert.
It's what Jang Moon Bok did in "Superstar K".
(Check!)
(He became the talk of the town with his fast rap.)
(My goodness.)
Please don't think that I'm insulting him.
- Be open-minded. - All right.
Check!
(It's strong from the beginning.)
(I'm the Korean top class hip hop model, jobless, fabulous...)
(Gorgeous but dangerous, beating the beats, submission, champion...)
(They cannot help but be drawn to it.)
(She is immersed in it.)
(The king of dance is impressed as well.)
(The king of rap)
(Ta-da!)
What was that?
That was amazing.
(She is ridiculous.)
Now I see why she featured on my song.
(Her charms are strange and erratic.)
Kian84,
you and Haha started off the relay webtoon in "Infinite Challenge".
Many people complained that your work is boring.
The year is 2046.
(It depicts the members of "Infinite Challenge" in 2046.)
Myung Soo!
(He made the members incredibly ugly in his work.)
Kwang Hee, you must be suffering a lot...
since your face melted off.
(The ridiculous story left many people unimpressed.)
(- It's incomprehensible and boring. - The setting is too exaggerated.)
Was it Haha's fault?
What happened?
I read the malicious comments.
I found that many of them are for Haha, not to me.
(Most of the malicious comments were for Haha.)
- You studied the comments. - That's ridiculous.
That sounds irresponsible. Haha and you made it together.
People say I just followed Haha's ideas...
but in fact, I came up with half of the ideas.
He called me the night the webtoon was released.
- Haha called you? - Yes.
He asked me to have drinks with him.
- He was hurt. - He was sad.
Your close friend Mal Nyun was the second webtoon artist.
Tae Jun, in your opinion, which of the two was better?
The two artists have distinct styles. Actually, I admire...
Hee Min.
I admire Hee Min.
You do?
- Why admire him? - That was so sudden.
Why all of a sudden respect him?
- Right. - Maybe you planned it.
- I love Hee Min's cartoon so much. - You mean Kian84.
After reading his cartoons, I decided to make a debut.
I love Hee Min's cartoons.
But you laughed when we said he got many mean comments.
I just couldn't believe it.
Mean comments don't do any harm to him.
- Right. - He once set a record...
for getting the highest number of comments.
He got about 200,000 comments.
- What did the comments say? - They were all mean.
What is his webtoon about?
- Is it about immorality? - That's not it.
This is the story. The protagonist goes...
on a fashion show.
You all know the wolf hair style, right?
His fashion can be completed only with that hairstyle,
but he can't get the haircut.
He then turns into a werewolf because of the resentment.
- What? - It's...
No wonder he got harsh comments.
You recently got your own place and went on the show "I Live Alone".
You cooked ramyeon on a rusted electric tea kettle.
Did you actually eat that?
I moved to a new place, but I didn't install the gas stove.
There is a bank...
to which I am a VIP customer.
They gave me an electric tea kettle.
That's what you used to cook ramyeon.
- I cooked ramyeon with it. - You can do that.
But Hyun Ah saw you doing that...
and said "That's an antisocial behaviour."
- That's not what I said. - Okay.
I saw him on the show...
and it made me think...
that he defies capitalism.
- I don't. - That's what I thought.
He doesn't spend money even though he has money.
He lives like a beggar.
(Glancing)
- I look like a beggar? - He has...
I love it. She's starting to reveal her true self.
You don't spend much, do you?
- How do you usually spend money? - I drink.
- You drink. - And I ride taxi.
- Do you drink hard liquors? - No. I drink soju.
- He doesn't spend much. - You don't spend much.
So you must've saved a lot of money.
But money keeps disappearing somehow.
- I don't know where it goes. - He bought his mum a house.
I see.
You bought a house for your mum. Next time,
you should draw a webtoon called "The Good Son".
- "The Good Son"! - "The Good Son"!
- Isn't it nice? "The Best Son". - It's too cheesy.
Wouldn't it be nice? You will transform for your mother.
When her back tickles, you'll be a back scratcher.
(That will be the storyline of the webtoon "The Good Son".)
On the show "I Live Alone", you drew...
Hyun Moo's portrait on the back of your ex-girlfriend's portrait.
- What was that about? - I dated a girl last year.
I had drawn her a portrait, and we'd broken up.
Hyun Moo asked me to draw a portrait, so I did.
And I accidentally drew it on the back of her portrait.
(He's concentrated.)
(Kian84 draws Hyun Moo's portrait.)
It doesn't look like you.
- You drew so well. - It doesn't look much like you.
- Is it all right for me to take it? - It's not a big deal.
- But it's your artwork. - Wait. Why is this...
Why is this here?
I accidentally drew on the back of her portrait.
You can take it. Take it.
How can you draw my face on the back of your ex-girlfriend's face?
- We broke up, so it's fine. - Wait.
- Were there no blank papers? - What?
- There were blank papers. - There were.
- You didn't want to waste it. - Did you intentionally do that?
- It wasn't intentional. - I think it was intentional.
- It really wasn't. - Who broke up the relationship?
- You got dumped, didn't you? - I... I am not sure.
- As soon as... - Maybe you accidentally did it...
- we broke up... - to take revenge on her.
By the way, I think you're very interested in Kian84.
- Right. - That's true.
- That's not it. - You must be interested in him.
- She is. - She's very interested in him.
A singer-webtoon artist couple sounds ideal.
Are you interested in him?
I watch television too much.
You watch the shows I'm on?
- Really? - I saw it.
He loves it.
He starts smiling.
What was that?
Hyun Moo wanted to sell it, but it didn't get sold, did it?
No one bought it.
It means buying Hyun Moo's face.
I wouldn't buy that either.
I find Hyun Moo strange for trying to sell that portrait.
I know. Why would he sell that?
He was getting mean comments about that.
Hyun Moo is numb when it comes to mean comments.
- He's the same. - He is.
Hyun Moo ranks within the top three.
He surely does.
He's guaranteed to get mean comments for the next 10 years.
("10 Years of Mean Comments")
We asked the two artists...
to draw our faces.
- We'll know when we see them. - Tae Jun, you even...
drew Jin Woon.
- Yes. - Really?
Can we see the drawings? Who should go first?
- Gook Jin, perhaps? - Let's see Gook Jin's first.
Let's see Gook Jin's first.
I tried to see the charms he has.
Gook Jin from "Flaming Youth".
(Everyone jeers as soon as they see the drawing.)
(He looks like a handsome romance cartoon character.)
You drew very well.
That's how he wakes up in the webtoon "Lookism".
- That's fantasy. - That's how he transforms.
Why do you think webtoon drawings have to look funny?
- Isn't he way too young? - I know.
- His charms are his eyes and... - It doesn't look like him at all.
- a good-looking young boy image. - That's him 40 years ago.
I love it so much.
- Let's look at mine. - Let's check Jong Shin's.
- Gosh! - No way!
(They are annoyed by the drawing of Jong Shin.)
Even if he's my boss, I can't accept this.
- That looks exactly like me. - What is that?
- What's this? - It's photographic realism.
What?
- What's that? - Wait.
- Who's that in the back? - Who's that in the back?
I drew Jong Shin, and I didn't even need to edit much.
I just drew his face features,
and I made him look so handsome that I felt offended.
- It's perfect. - So I drew...
- Jung Woo Sung in the back. - I like the one in the front.
- I... - This is complete nonsense.
He looks smart and sharp.
Thank you.
- Let's check Gu Ra's face. - I want to keep that.
Can I have it?
- I'll print it and give it to you. - Thank you.
Let's check the drawing of Gu Ra.
Here's Gu Ra.
I wonder how Gu Ra would look.
(They all crack up.)
(He looks upset.)
- It looks all right. - It looks fine.
- It's Dong Hyun in the back.
- Yes, it's Gu Ra and his son. - By the way,
you should've drawn Dong Hyun better.
- They look the same. - He should look more handsome.
I tried my best to draw Dong Hyun.
- What's up with his jaw? - That looks like Dong Hyun.
- His jaw looks too sharp! - It looks like Dong Hyun.
I tried my best to draw him well!
His chin is too pointy.
I am so offended.
I really wanted you to like it, so I tried my best to draw him well.
(I want him to have a round jaw like me.)
Next up is Kyu Hyun.
- Kyu Hyun is... - He's handsome.
already handsome.
- Will I look ugly in there then? - I tried to emphasise his features.
- I drew him the way I used to like. - Give him some character.
He lacks character.
(He cracks up at his own face.)
Gosh...
Wait.
Isn't he a member of a boy band from the early 2000s?
That was his hairstyle at the time...
- of Super Junior's debut. - Right.
Aren't there many people like that around Suwon Station?
There are many of them.
(There are many of them in Suwon Station area.)
Will I be on your webtoon next week?
No, he's too outdated to be on my latest webtoon.
(He's the old generation idol.)
People don't have this hairstyle these days.
- Next is... - Jin Woon.
- I am curious to see it.
Jin Woon is already a handsome guy.
- He drew well. - Jin Woon,
your drawing is the best.
- What's that? - Jin Woon.
- That's what you're known for. - I want to keep that.
Jin Woon, it looks exactly like you.
You can use that as your next album's cover.
- That's it. - I'll use that for my next album.
Isn't that face the face of...
villains in "Lookism"?
- Right? - The villains who beat women.
- Yes. Those characters. - No way.
- They smile like this. - Right.
Yes. He's the weird guy who makes a scene at a convenience store.
And he beats people at a retreat.
Yes. He's the really scary character.
I drew the sad smile of a clown,
and that character also has that.
- So they overlap in that sense. - Nevertheless, it looks like him.
- You drew everyone well. - Thank you.
Thank you.
I love it.
I want to have that drawing.
Thank you so much.
I want to have it.
- Kian84. - Yes.
You barely finished your work on time yesterday.
So we couldn't ask you to work on the drawings.
Please pick one of us and draw our face on the spot.
- Just one person? - Just one person.
Let's make him draw Gu Ra. He's always unsatisfied.
- Just draw one person. - People usually draw Gu Ra.
- So just draw one person. - Many people draw me, but...
Okay.
I'm really curious about how he's going to draw Gu Ra.
I'm curious to see him draw.
Please make it look realistic.
The keyboard shortcut...
Can I do it after using the restroom?
- Again? - Again?
Again?
You recently were on Infinite Challenge with Haha.
- Can I... - Yes.
use the restroom?
He drank an entire bottle of water.
- I am sorry. - What do we do?
- Hurry up. - I am sorry.
- Hey. - Is your bladder this small?
I drank too much water.
Hurry up and go.
I will be quick. I am sorry.
- Go. - He's the King of Pee.
King of Pee?
(The King of Pee hurriedly leaves.)
- One part keeps getting long. - He began drawing, right?
- Yes. - Kian84 is drawing Gu Ra.
By the way, the model has to...
- Does he have to stand? - He should come closer.
- Go next to him. - Okay.
This is harder than you think.
It's better to look at the floor.
- Gosh... - I can't wait to see it.
Look at this.
- Okay. - Make your signature face.
- Can you... - Or you could look funny.
- turn your face sideways? - Like this?
No. Turn this way.
(He's very particular about the model's posture.)
You can look at this.
There you go.
Look here.
I will do this.
- Look down. - You're going to look at me?
- Yes. - Then look here.
- Look at the top of my head. - Okay.
One of my eyes has double eyelids.
My middle forehead is...
- slightly wrinkled. - He starts with the eyes.
And I'm...
- Be quiet. - Stay quiet.
My right side face is a bit dent.
He draws the eyes first. It has double eyelids.
I got a surgery for cataract on one eye.
Please express that as well.
- Amazing. - It's the left eye.
It sparkles a little.
(The talkative model doesn't disturb him.)
- Wow. - He started drawing the nose.
My nose looks like a garlic clove.
- Wow. - Wow.
- He's good. - It looks like Gu Ra now.
- There he is. - Excellent.
He draws really fast.
He looks like the villain...
from the movie "The Wailing".
(Gu Ra looks like the villain from the movie "The Wailing".)
He looks like the Japanese man.
It looks like Gu Ra.
- He draws really well. - Does it look like me?
- It looks very much like you. - It does.
- It's identical. - I hear his voice from the picture.
Does it look like me?
(I'm so curious.)
He didn't draw the pupils yet.
(His eyes are all white.)
Is it possible to skip the pupils?
(It's Gook Jin's request.)
Eyes are the hardest to draw.
The eyes are the crucial part.
- He's so good. - Wow.
He's unbelievable.
- It's obviously Gu Ra. - It has his head shaped.
I can't draw his pupils.
- Complete the eyes. - That's when it comes alive.
Draw the pupils.
It's becoming...
(He laughs nervously.)
- Don't worry. - What's wrong?
- I have faith in you. - Okay.
- I think you will get upset. - No, I won't.
- Time for the eyes. - It looks just like him.
He's drawing the pupil.
Wait, the pupils are...
(They crack up.)
With the pupils, he turned into...
Shim Hyung Rae.
(It looks exactly like Shim Hyung Rae.)
Isn't that Hyung Rae?
What on earth is that?
- It's because of this drawing pad. - What's that?
- It's you. - "Yeong Gu is not here."
(His drawing looks like Yeong Gu.)
It's fascinating to watch him draw.
He draws effortlessly, but it turns into a nice drawing.
Don't you feel sorry for me?
(He holds grudge.)
I am sorry.
(He's just joking.)
Let's talk about Jin Woon now.
Recently, you shocked everyone...
- with your revealing clothes. - Explain yourself.
- I don't need to explain. - There were regulations, right?
There are regulations.
I can't show my chest on national television.
You can't show both nipples.
- But you're allowed to show one. - Yes.
That's why Joon went like this.
(He alternately showed one nipple at a time.)
There is a standard, right?
I wore it for my music video shoot.
I layered a shirt underneath the blazer for the music show,
and it turned out the outfit wasn't sexy at all.
I asked my staff if the shirt was part of the outfit,
and he said it wasn't originally a part of it.
I said I should take it off then.
He must've asked someone. He came in and...
told me I could do it.
So I took the shirt off and went on the stage wearing blazer.
But I tried not to show both of my nipples.
I intentionally hit one side of my blazer...
to show one nipple.
- I went on like that. - So you can show it.
Yes. In the end,
I was striking the pose for the king of dance.
- Your nipples showed. - Yes.
But thankfully,
I was wearing a scarf.
- A scarf. - I was wearing a scarf.
And that covered one nipple.
That was a miracle.
It covered my nipple.
His album wasn't a success, but he's still quite lucky.
(He's quite lucky.)
I got really lucky.
I never imagined I'd worry about my singer for showing too much skin.
(He's the first singer from Mystic Entertainment to do it.)
This is how you looked.
The scarf looks quite thin.
- That's... - Wow.
- You were so close. - That was amazing.
I was so lucky that the scarf hid my other nipple.
Let me see.
His nipple is right here.
- Why are you analysing it? - Right here.
- It's a little bit above. - Here.
- It's here. - Yes.
It must be aligned with this nipple.
- It must be lower. - Right. It should be here.
His left shoulder is lifted up, so it should be up.
Should it be like this?
- Is that important? - It is.
- In the past... - It hurts. Stop touching them.
(Stop. It hurts.)
Jin Woon, you can tell Gu Ra's mental state...
by looking at the way he sits.
- How is his mental state right now? - You're studying psychology?
- I'm studying psychology. - Really?
He always sits like this.
- He's like that. - "That's not it."
He goes like that.
He's very self-defensive.
If he agrees with what you say,
he turns his body towards you.
But if he disagrees, he turns his head right away.
He's self-defensive and doesn't like listening to others.
- I see. - Who's sitting next to me?
- Jong Shin. - That's right.
With me, he's very defensive.
- It's because you're ridiculous. - I always...
- control him with a remote. - His words are nonsense.
- I'm the one controlling him.
- He doesn't deserve my attention. - Keep talking.
His words are nonsense.
- He controls Gu Ra. - Is that right?
Because of their relationship, I'm the victim here because...
he's facing me all the time.
But I like this angle very much.
Do you see how I'm looking over there?
I don't face the camera directly. That's old-fashioned.
"What do you think?" I like doing this.
Stop it now.
(He's forced to stop.)
Stop it.
If I sit like this... You see...
Believe it or not, I have been a significant influence...
on a lot of people on Korean television.
- But I... - He means he made an impact.
- Anyway... - That's what he means.
I think I am the first one to host a talk show...
with my arms crossed.
- That's what I think. - It's not something great.
It's not, but it's very natural.
The Russian dancers always have their arms crossed.
(You're not the first one.)
Well... There are them, too.
- We need someone like him. - Right.
It's true that there was no one like him before.
Also, before I came along,
all the reaction cuts were...
about people smiling.
But after I started appearing on television,
the producers started...
using my sour-faced look as a reaction cut...
to show that I disagree with what was said.
Now, that's a normal thing to do.
- Stop bragging. - He's...
- Gosh... - He's sitting like this right now.
- He's used to... - Get upset.
He's used to this posture.
For goodness' sake.
- He won't face the front. - I will slap his head one day.
(Jong Shin will hit Gu Ra's head one day.)
When the machine malfunctions, you have to hit it to fix it.
For goodness' sake.
I've seen a lot of things about Jin Woon.
He's an attention seeker like Tae Jun.
He searches his name on social media...
and replies almost every comment.
How did you become like this?
There are lots of funny posts on social media...
that I couldn't just ignore.
- People on Twitter are spiteful. - They are. That's why it's fun.
Some people curse, too.
I thought...
I would start apologising to people who curse me online.
That's why I started replying.
- You search your name. - I search my name...
and leave comments on funny posts about me.
- That's what happened. - Show us.
- I prepared some images. - Let's see them.
This is the first one.
"Am I the first one who doesn't know who Jeong Jin Woon is?"
"No. There are many others."
"No worries. Shall we start getting to know him?"
(He leaves a kind reply to a cruel comment.)
- All right. - That was great.
Let's check out the second one.
"Jeong Jin Woon is trending on Twitter."
"Was he a member of 2PM or 2AM?"
- "Or 2NE1?" - That's a good one.
- "2PM, 2AM or 2NE1?" - That's insulting.
And he commented "Twice".
Oh, dear.
He replied "shy, shy, shy", too.
- Let's check some more. - Are there more?
(It's the third comment.)
- This is the third comment. - This is crazy.
"Who is Jeong Jin Woon?"
"Is Lim Seul Ong's real name Jeong Jin Woon?"
- Oh, dear. - "My real name is Jo Kwon".
- Gosh... - You're bullying him.
- I am not. - It was retweeted 2,000 times.
- I know. - He's getting back at them.
He sounded kind at first.
- Yes. - He's taking his revenge.
- He's getting back at them. - Will it get worse?
- Will his comments get worse? - He's getting back at them.
This is crazy.
"I liked 2AM when I was in 6th grade, and I loved Jin Woon."
Jin Woon was her favourite.
"How am I going to ask for his number if I run into him?"
"I'm so nervous. I worry about it every day."
"I'm hopeless."
What is this person saying? I can't understand her writing.
I think they are writing posts to make him comment.
I think he wants her to do this to him.
"First, slap him on his face."
"Second, ask him for his number."
"Third, if he doesn't give it to you, slap him again."
"Then Jin Woon will say that you're the first one who's done it to him,"
- "and that he's the clown who..." - What does this mean?
Gosh, that's just absurd.
I'm just having fun online communicating with them.
- He... - There's no celebrity like him.
He wants to be funny.
- That's not what I want. - This is the funniest one.
"My real name is Jo Kwon."
There are even more interesting ones.
You look happier after you left JYP Entertainment.
You might not earn much, but you still look happy.
Hyun Ah, I heard that you almost lost your friend...
because of your "repetitive gag".
- What's "repetitive gag"? - It's not a gag. I'm really goofy.
I repeat things over and over.
One time, one of our members had a very bad hangover.
He said he was feeling nauseous.
- He wanted to stop... - Was it Kwon Sun Il?
- No, it was Park Yong In. - I see.
He kept vomiting.
I asked him if he's all right...
said, "Youth is painful". I said it once.
He told me it was annoying and that I should stop.
He said he was in real pain and that I should relieve it.
I said to him, "Right. Did you hear that?"
"They say youth is painful." I did it again.
I continued that until we arrived.
And what's the zipper about?
The brand D had trousers...
that looked as if the zipper had been opened.
- Right. - It's an old fashion trend.
He wore that every day, so every day I said,
"Your fly's open."
If he wore it again, I'd say,
"Your fly's open."
Right before we'd go on stage, "Your fly's open."
I kept saying that.
- For months. - You can't stop.
- Then... - How did it last for months?
One day, that friend exploded with anger on the street.
We fought in public.
- How about "Mayo Mayo"? - Do we need to ask that?
- Should I explain it? - "Mayo Mayo".
- It's fun. - It is.
- "Mayo Mayo". - "Mayo Mayo" is...
I created an imaginary agency called Mayo Mayo Entertainment...
and called a friend.
Without a caller ID.
"This is Mayo Mayo Entertainment."
"Your image goes perfectly with mayonnaise."
I told you this will be boring.
- It's funny. - It is.
Isn't it funny?
- It's funny. - What then?
He likes it. You should call him one day.
- What happened next? - My friend said, "Stop it."
I called again right away.
"You just talked to my staff. I'm a manager at Mayo Mayo."
- Do you mention the image? - "Your image suits mayonnaise."
"Would you like to shoot a commercial?"
I kept saying that.
Until you get to the CEO?
Yes.
- "I'm the CEO." - Okay.
"We're serious. Your image suits mayonnaise so well."
- This is... - You're enjoying life.
I should stay away...
from people from Incheon.
(She isn't too pleased.)
When Kian84 first met Tae Jun, he thought that...
Tae Jun's chin looked like a radish.
So he created a radish boy character...
- dedicated to him. - His chin?
When I first met him, he gave me an idea for a cartoon.
He has a very sharp V-shaped chin.
That's where I got the idea.
It's a cartoon about transformation.
One morning, you find him buried up to here.
- The roots grow here. - From the chin.
He dies if you unearth him.
(Harvesting means death.)
- That means death. - That's weird.
The other students water him during breaks.
- Then, he grows. - Nutrients from his body move up.
His chin grows larger...
and in the end, the person who nurtured him comes to harvest him.
He's then plucked out of the earth.
This is the character he's talking about.
This is Tae Jun.
- Look. - That's not me.
People who imitate Tae Jun will end up like that.
His chin absorbs all the nutrients in the body...
and becomes huge.
(Only to become radish kimchi in the end)
You can sell the idea to a drama about vegetables.
(Product placement)
Kian84 has an impressive record for being tardy.
He was tardy throughout high school.
- That is not good. - My goodness.
You need to be more responsible.
He has the features of a lazy student.
Just look at him.
- He'd never be early. - His sideburns are fluffy.
I'll tell you a story.
I had to return to my barracks after a break.
- I came back late. - That was after a holiday?
When I entered my barracks,
I saw my senior officers being punished because of my tardiness.
- Oh, dear... - I felt chills.
- What happened next? - How did you feel?
I wanted to run away.
(Should I desert the army?)
- Why are you always late? - It's a bit like...
Even today. What's wrong with you?
Today...
He got here late today.
Are you not taking us seriously?
I do.
- Is our job a joke to you? - No. No.
Why are you like that?
He's like a scary senior.
I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry for being late.)
Why did you go to a temple while working on "Back to School King"?
I was struggling with work,
so I decided to stay in a quiet mountain.
- I bought some equipment and went. - Okay.
Without any distractions, I thought that I could finally focus.
The first day was fine,
and I managed to concentrate.
As you know, temples only serve vegetables.
I got sick of it by the second day.
(A crisis looms.)
I know it's wrong,
but if you drive down the mountain, they sell alcohol and chicken.
I had some fried chicken and soju.
When I got back to the temple, a monk smelled the alcohol on me.
That's against the rules.
So I got kicked out of the temple.
I see.
All of his stories involve laziness.
He's been lazy his whole life.
- Because... - Do you know Jo Young Gu?
- Follow him around. - He's very diligent.
- He sleeps three hours a day. - Gosh.
- What does he do? - He's always out and about.
- Why? - From early morning.
What does he do all day?
I don't know.
(Oh, dear...)
Do webtoon artists' monthly income equals to...
an annual income of a corporate employee?
In what position?
- An executive? - That's huge.
I'd say that in a month, they probably make...
what a junior staff would make in a year.
That would be between 50,000 and 70,000 dollars a month.
- So 500,000 to 600,000 a year. - That's about right.
- The spectrum is so wide. - We know that.
We're freelancers, so in the market,
some earn a lot...
while some struggle.
How much do you make, Kian84?
Not as much as he does.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars?
I'm sure he makes at least that much...
if he's a VIP at a bank.
Some must be earning over 100,000 dollars.
Do you, Tae Jun?
- Per month? - Yes.
(Talking about income splits his ego.)
- I think he does. - No, it's like...
- You hesitated. - That's not the case for me.
- It's more than that. - No. No.
Some earn hundreds of thousands.
- In a month? - Yes.
- You should work hard. - Yes.
- Kian84. - Yes?
You need to work for your pay.
I'm working hard now.
You can't be like that.
(I got scolded again.)
Tae Jun said that he wanted to draw cartoons since he was young.
Was the real reason for wanting to become a cartoonist...
because you hated reality?
When I was young, I was poor and weak.
Do you know the feeling...
when you close your eyes to sleep...
and don't want to wake up anymore?
That's how I felt.
You felt disheartened.
I didn't want to face the following day.
The best part of the day was always going to sleep at night.
That's when I had a thought about...
flying all over the place...
and gaining powers to beat up the bullies.
Sometimes I was the only survivor in a disaster...
or I was the only man on earth.
(He licks his lips.)
You're the only man?
I also dreamed about that.
Being the only male survivor...
- To be honest... - It's every man's dream.
We imagine being harassed by women.
Being bothered.
- We still dream of it. - So...
Being poor limited the hobbies that I could have.
I couldn't afford a hobby that required money.
Drawing only needs a pen and paper, it was great...
especially for a timid, depressed kid like me.
There's always one kid drawing in the corner.
- Yes. - With no friends.
- I find it hard to believe. - That was me.
I started drawing when I was in school...
and grew up wanting to be a cartoonist.
- Did you draw for your friends? - I did.
- Sexy drawings. - Yes.
I drew pictures for them while they beat me up.
- By the bullies? - Yes.
When "Evangelion" was popular,
I drew some of the characters...
but without clothes, as requested.
(What have you done my Asuka?)
I drew that kind of pictures on demand.
I also did everyone's art homework.
I was depressed for many years...
until I changed completely in the last year of high school.
Personal websites were very popular at that time.
Thanks to my hobby, I was great with Photoshop.
Instead of uploading actual photos of me,
- I Photoshopped them first. - To make it look nicer.
The public fell in love with a man that didn't exist.
Did they start treating you like a cartoon character?
I didn't just fix my face, I also elongated my limbs.
I uploaded ideal images of me that don't actually exist.
That helped my business and boosted my self-esteem.
Did you hesitate to become a webtoon artist...
until Kian84's work gave you hope?
I loved "Fashion King", not only because it was funny,
but also because I could relate myself to the main character.
It's about a boy who went from being a loser...
into becoming the most popular kid in school.
That's what happened to me.
It's every student's dream.
- It is. - It's a dream.
- To be popular in school. - Yes.
In my last year of high school, I transferred to...
a vocational school.
It caters students from all over Korea who wanted to learn a skill...
instead of going to college.
No one there knew me.
- It was a different neighbourhood. - Right.
I decided to start anew.
- To reset your life. - Yes.
- No one had noticed me before. - Right.
So to get noticed, I adjusted my school uniform.
- Do you know the skinny look? - I made the trousers tight.
Also for the blazer... Do you know this blazer...
- with high pockets? - Yes.
It looks like it had shrunk.
They made you look hunched.
It has no shoulder pads, right?
You have to take out the shoulder pads.
That was the trend back then.
There's a whirlwind hairstyle...
that goes around your head from here to here.
You need one bit of hair to poke out like this.
I looked at myself in the mirror...
and thought that no one would dare mock me.
- I thought I'd be hot. - "I'd be hot."
I thought that with this new look,
at least I'd be taken seriously.
- I was shocked. - Why?
No one wore a uniform.
See?
I was...
- You were the teacher's pet. - Exactly.
I drew about a high school...
where students study different subjects like art or baking.
People think that's nonsense, but I went to that kind of school.
Students who study applied music rode motorcycles with guitars...
and art students had hair of all colours.
- It sounds so fictional. - It does.
I felt so miserable.
(He was the only one wearing the school's uniform.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Today we're with four people who refuse to be average.
Let's hear what song makes them jump up and down.
Let's listen to the song Jin Woon chose.
("Sidae Yugam" by Seo Taiji and Boys)
Seo Taiji and Boys' song.
(From their 1996 single album)
Why did you pick this song?
The lyrics describe what I want to accomplish.
I think along those lines.
The song is about...
a time where everyone will be crazy about something.
That moved me. I felt emotional.
I chose this song because this is what I want the world to be like.
Okay.
- Tae Jun's plastic surgery... - Skip it.
It would look weird if we stopped right there.
- Tae Jun's plastic surgery... - Stop.
(Gu Ra wants to go home.)
I said stop.
Are you burying me?
This would be funny.
- Tae Jun's surgery... Now, a song. - Stop right there.
(He giggles.)
- Just his nose. - Let's say Tae Jun had surgery.
We have to listen to Jin Woon sing.
Jin Woon will sing "Sidae Yugam" for us.
- I need you to enjoy yourselves. - Okay.
(As soon as he begins,)
(he charges his madness gauge by talking gibberish.)
What's he doing?
(He doesn't care. He's fully charged.)
(He warms up by doing the ostrich dance.)
(He would look just at home on the Serengeti.)
(He is an untamed wild animal.)
(This is fascinating.)
(He's so passionate. It's almost scary.)
(He barely started singing, and they have culture shock.)
(I think something will happen that will make the world crazy)
(Looking around, looking cute)
(Your face twitches because of your pretence)
(Ta-da)
(King of dance)
(He never looked this happy when he was in 2AM.)
(Even his boss is excited.)
(As he's having fun on stage,)
(he wants everyone to join in.)
(Silence)
(It's upsetting, but I'm okay.)
(Her hands are raised as if she's possessed.)
Scream!
(The audience cheers reluctantly.)
(Even a lukewarm response makes him go overboard.)
(It's a ceremony even Ronaldo would envy.)
(Jin Woon's performance isn't for everyone.)
(He gets up to sing again.)
Why won't this just end?
We all screamed.
Stop singing.
Okay.
(It was truly captivating.)
Well done, Jin Woon.
He might hear from a prosecutor one day.
- He won't. - The Supreme Prosecutors' Office...
might give him a call.
He changed so suddenly.
Our sound system isn't state-of-the-art,
- but despite of that... - Yes.
I think your era will come soon.
Your next song should be like that.
- Can I dance even more? - You can.
You've already crossed the line. There's no turning back.
(This is it.)
Shall we listen to the song that...
Kian84 and Tae Jun chose together?
("Crazy for You" by Park Sang Min)
- From "Slam Dunk". - "Slam Dunk".
(Flailing about)
He's all over the place.
I look away for a second, and he gets distracted.
(He grins.)
Why did you choose this song?
We're here as webtoon artists,
and the song's about friendship, so we thought we could do a duet.
Tae Jun and Kian84 are apparently vulgar attention seekers who...
Okay.
(Skip the questions.)
- We'll listen to them sing. - Yes. Let's listen.
I'd love that.
- Both of them... - They're attention seekers.
One had plastic surgery, the other's an attention seeker.
- That's it. - It's perfect.
- Let's listen to them sing. - I want to dance...
- as if I'm playing basketball. - The attention seeker,
Tae Jun who had surgery and...
- Stopping mid-question is fun. - I like it.
I love it. It's very innovative.
I have a feeling I'll get too excited.
- Join them. - Get up there.
- Have fun. - Can I?
- Give him a mic. - Wait until the climax.
(The match between Tae Jun and Kian84 begins.)
(Jin Woon is already excited.)
(He warms up.)
(He's pretty good.)
He isn't bad.
(His pre-emptive strike is a success.)
(I want to go up there.)
(He'd never been this serious throughout the show.)
(He glances at the production crew.)
(He looks like he's from a cartoon.)
(Tae Jun fights back with his Photoshopped looks.)
(It's a good shot.)
(Even his good looks can't make up for his poor performance.)
(Kian84 takes over swiftly.)
He's a good singer.
(He sings and frowns hard.)
(There's a perfect harmony.)
(Now is the time.)
(The excited spectator joins in.)
Do something about him.
Do something. He's stealing the show.
(He steals the show.)
(He can't stop laughing.)
(The king of excitement)
(The high note is the climax.)
(I want to shout)
(He's the crazy one here.)
(He looks like he's squeezing the song out of himself.)
(Slam dunk)
(He's a scene-stealer to the very end.)
What are we going to do with him?
My goodness.
That was so much fun.
- Jin Woon. - That was great.
Oh, dear.
(I can't handle this.)
Jin Woon had a great time up there.
I had so much fun.
There's no way he can go back to being in 2AM.
(He hasn't calmed down yet.)
Give up on ballads.
You should join 2PM.
- 2PM? - That might work.
I don't want to ruin a perfectly fine group.
How did you keep all that energy bottled up?
Jo Kwon was the crazy one in the group.
- Jo Kwon... - He had a rival.
He's finally ready to talk about his complex...
surrounding Jo Kwon and Jin Young.
- That was the Crazy Friends show. - He is really crazy.
Thanks for joining us.
The Korean word for crazy does mean "insane",
but it also means "to reach a certain level".
You all reached a certain level in your respective fields...
and influenced many others positively.
We want to say...
you have our full support.
We will say good bye here.
- See you next week. - Please.
