The train to Busan...
- To promote a play. - Promotions.
- What? - It's war.
(A promotional blockbuster)
- I'm scared. - Stay alert.
To the death.
(A disaster befalls the passengers.)
- An older woman? - Lying on your bed.
This is what scares me. I feel dizzy now.
Hang in t here.
(Survive to the end!)
- Come at me! - You're crazy.
- Are you still single? - Why ask that?
You're making my blood boil.
(A desperate struggle to stay alive)
(Kim Soo Ro, Kim Min Jong, Lee Han Wi, Lee Dong Ha, YooA)
- Wait until we're done. - What?
Today we welcome five guests for a promotional blockbuster.
Stay Alive on the Train to Promotion.
Our first guest dreamed of a second "A Gentleman's Dignity"...
and tried to fall in love in the drama "Come Back Alive",
but it flopped because of "Descendants of the Sun".
- That's so sad. - He wants his musical to survive,
and that's why he's on our show. Please welcome Kim Soo Ro.
- I see. - He didn't come back alive.
All his friends are married and he's the only single guy.
Yet, there are rumours he only wants a woman in her 20s.
Back in the day, his beautiful eyes made women swoon.
But now they cry when they see his wrinkles.
It's the middle-aged bachelor from Cheongdam-dong.
Kim Min Jong.
Our third guest appeared in "Oh Hae Young Again"...
as Hae Young's much-adored father.
He's a great scene-stealer.
He married a woman 19 years younger 9 years ago...
and that's what he's most famous for.
He has three kids,
and for them, he really has to survive and keep working.
We also have Lee Han Wi with us today.
- Lee Han Wi. - Our next guest...
He looks slightly familiar.
In "Signal", he played as drug addict, rapist and murderer.
- That's terrible. - That jerk.
That was him.
He's been a musical actor for eight years, but...
he still feels weird to be on TV.
Please welcome Lee Dong Ha on his first appearance on a variety show.
Finally, we have YooA the Dancing Queen.
Gu Ra adores her on "King of Mask Singer".
She's sitting on the end, but she's Gu Ra's youngest allies.
- YooA of Oh My Girl. - YooA.
- YooA of Oh My Girl. - Hello.
(They fumble around.)
- Are they wearing something? - Shield your eyes.
It's a set-up.
Shield your eyes.
(Is this a 3D movie screening?)
Go on.
(What are they doing?)
Hide your eyes. This is war.
Soo Ro's back.
(He greets his director politely.)
Soo Ro's back.
The King of Set-ups is back.
- Soo Ro, it's your third time here. - It is.
Last time, I came here to promote a play. This time it's a musical.
- Was it any help? - They all did great.
- I was so surprised. - Did coming on our show help?
- Words can't describe it. - Really?
That's why I forced myself to come back.
What's the musical called?
It's called "Gone Tomorrow" and he plays the lead.
- "Gone Tomorrow". - Our lead.
- Does Min Jong play the same role? - No.
- He plays someone else. - He plays King Gojong.
- Gojong? - Yes, King Gojong.
- Gojong, not Min Jong? - Is it a period musical?
Was that supposed to be a joke?
"Gojong, not Min Jong?"
I ignored him right away.
- Just move on. - We have to.
That was the worst kind of dad joke.
(It must be mentioned.)
Min Jong, did you say you'd be...
on anything but Radio Star, but then ended up here?
Yes. It just happened.
Soo Ro is the producer, so...
- You run a business together. - Wet wipes business.
- Yes. - Wet wipes.
That's the only thing we use.
Min Jong is very cheerful when he's out drinking,
but he's quiet on TV.
He's cheerful in private settings...
- but not on TV. - That's why...
Soo Ro knows that about me.
We all like to have a good time when we're drinking with friends,
so that's when he makes me an offer.
"Min Jong, can you join me on this project?"
"Sure thing. I'm in."
"We need to go on TV to promote it." "Which shows?"
"This, this and Radio Star." "I see."
"I'll do everything but Radio Star."
(He was determined.)
(But here he is.)
Why not Radio Star? You did fine last time.
- I'm scared of this show. - Why?
I'm afraid of the scriptwriters. They're scary.
That's why I didn't...
- do a pre-taping interview. - The reason...
you're afraid of women.
Is it because of your stalker?
(A stalker got into Min Jong's bed.)
- It's totally unrelated. - Is it?
(His wrinkles deepened.)
- Okay. - We...
He's slightly annoyed.
I didn't mean to pry.
Shall we find you a woman in her 20s to talk to?
This is why I'm scared of you people.
(He backs away from his angry director.)
Is this the 19th performance of the Kim Soo Ro Project?
Yes, it is.
You tried to cast Kyu Hyun but couldn't afford his him.
- It was impossible. - You're both at S.M. Entertainment.
It was impossible.
Is he that expensive?
- He's one of the best. - One day...
- I'll come and see you. - For our December production.
We're working on it.
I told S.M.'s Director Kim that I need Kyu Hyun to be on it.
- I heard that... - Pay him with wet wipes.
We can. We can do that.
How about 4,000 packs of wet wipes?
(4,000 packs of wet wipes instead of money?)
You two are business partners.
Yes, of a production company.
After "A Gentleman's Dignity" made him famous again,
he went to Daehangno, the capital of stage performances.
He worked from the bottom up to revive the theatre scene there.
I was very impressed and proud of him.
I saw what he did and thought...
I'd never be able to do the same,
but I wanted to learn, so I joined him.
So there was a deal.
- You joined his wet wipes business. - Yes.
And he joined your production company.
- Is that it? - Are they producers?
Wet wipes met culture.
(It's a fateful collaboration.)
He told me about it when we were in a sauna.
"Sell some wet wipes." "Sure."
No questions asked. For him.
I see.
I'll go anywhere for him.
Just not to prison.
(There are exceptions.)
Let's move on to Han Wi.
"Oh Hae Young Again" fans...
wondered why your character had such few lines.
I heard you were frustrated...
- by the silence, too. - Was there a problem with you?
- Not at all. - There weren't any problems.
Kim Mi Kyung played Hae Young's mother...
and her character was wild.
If both her mum and dad were crazy, it would be too much.
That could ruin the whole drama,
so I guess they toned down my character.
- Your script said... - That was the explanation.
"He is unable to interrupt."
- That was... - In the script?
- "Unable to interrupt." - Most of the time my script said,
- "Kyung Soo's unable to join in." - You wanted to but just couldn't.
"He watches TV at a slightly awkward angle."
That was all I had to work with.
How do you show emotion, then?
How do you not interrupt?
Do you make jerky movements?
- Like this? - I didn't even do that.
I just sat slightly askew.
I'm listening intently to the conversation...
but I'm looking at the TV.
The in-laws' dowry list includes a whole set of bedding.
Hae Young made a fuss and now we're in a bind.
That was still wrong and rude of her.
That means you didn't have much to memorise.
Not having to remember any lines was the easy part,
- but conveying emotion... - That's not easy.
I felt like my insides were being twisted.
Can you show us how you watched TV when you wanted to join in?
- There's not much to it. - That's okay.
He doesn't know what he's asking for.
I do know, I was in a drama before.
If you were in a drama, you shouldn't make such demands.
Why can't I?
Can we just say I did it?
Could we wrap this up on a good note?
I'm not exactly sure if I should do it or not.
- It's tough. - Right.
- I have a question. - I can't do everything you want.
Did you call the writer and say, "I have too few lines."
- "Give me a few more." - Actually,
I've been acting for over 30 years,
and I never called a scriptwriter to talk about anything.
Some people believe in communicating.
Gu Ra interferes so much.
- You could ask. - "What on earth was that?"
He tortures the scriptwriters.
When you've been around for 30 years...
Am I right or wrong?
You keep bringing people from your label on the show.
- There's always someone. - Whatever.
- Yes, but... - Will you let him finish?
Could we wrap this up on a good note?
(Let's all be at peace.)
During the pre-taping interview, Han Wi didn't stop...
praising Seo Hyun Jin who played Hae Young.
- I'd never met her. - She's a star now.
You can't help but praise her.
You said her face shone even after she stayed up shooting all night.
I've done many dramas with many actresses over the years.
Actors as well, of course.
Very few actors look good at 2am or at 4:47am.
When filming a miniseries, we're up all night most nights.
Hyun Jin looks the same in every scene.
That's how well she takes care of herself.
Whenever we meet...
- Does she shine? - I see no sadness or anger in her.
She always looks the same.
- Does she? - Yes.
She started off at S.M. Entertainment.
- Yes. - Did she?
She left S.M.
Then she became a star.
You made your own agency look bad.
Try leaving S.M. Maybe you'll become huge too.
(Maybe you'd become huge like Hyun Jin, too.)
Dong Ha, people who didn't watch "Signal"...
might not know you.
You were in the hottest drama of the first half of 2016...
as a rapist and a murderer.
- A criminal, then. - Did people recognise you...
after that?
A lot of people in the street started to notice me.
They said my character was the worst, but they say that...
I look nice and gentle in real life.
You seem kind.
In an old-fashioned drama from years ago,
he'd have been cast to play a role of detective.
- Yes. - Cho Jin Woong would be a criminal.
Am I wrong?
These days they cast nice-looking people as murderers.
Tough-looking guys play the good guys.
That's right. I was offered some nice roles.
Min Jong, shouldn't you play a murderer?
- Didn't you? - I think he did.
I never played a murderer.
A rapist. That's what I was.
In "Just Because You Are a Woman".
- With Won Mi Kyung. - Won Mi Kyung.
It was a great production.
High-teen movies were a hit at the time,
and there were so many of them.
I was doing pretty well as a heartthrob myself.
Actor Lee Gyeong Young said,
"Don't just focus on movies for teenagers."
"You need to play a villain in a good movie..."
"alongside great seniors at least once."
That's why I decided to take the role.
I went to a theatre. And I sat with Gyeong Young...
at the back of the theatre.
There was a young girl sitting in front of us.
When she saw the part where I was raping someone,
she stood up and ran out saying "How can you do this, Min Jong?"
I see.
I was really sad.
When I sighed, Gyeong Young told me.
"That means you acted well."
That really comforted me.
- I got a lot of compliments... - Those kinds of...
- from people in the film industry. - I see.
(He doesn't stop complimenting himself.)
Dong Ha was actually talking, but...
Dong Ha was talking, and...
How did the conversation end up there?
- I was just complimenting him. - You were so upset when...
we asked you about women.
Why do you talk so long about your accomplishments?
(He becomes sad again.)
- You can't do that. - Then why did you ask me?
(He explodes.)
Dong Ha, I heard you hyperventilated and passed out...
- while acting that role. - Yes.
It was not something I had experienced myself.
- You were nervous. - I was...
- very pressured. - It must've been tough.
- You had to immerse in it. - I was breathing heavily.
I was so nervous while acting,
and I fainted in the middle.
By the way, not many people have experience...
- of fainting. - I've never fainted.
- I have fainted before. - You have.
During the shoot of "The Foul King", I jumped out of the ring,
and I ended up falling behind the people.
So I fell on the floor and fainted for a while.
- That's intense. - During the "Volcano High" shoot,
there was a scene where I get hit by Joon Ho's palm blast.
From 4m up in the air, I had to fall to the floor...
where two mattresses were laid out. I was very nervous.
I jumped down,
and I landed on the border of the mattress and the floor.
I fainted and got rushed into the emergency room.
Make it short. Dong Ha was talking.
Make it short.
Right. So how was it when you fainted?
(He tosses it back to Dong Ha.)
They came out to brag about themselves.
(Train to Boasting)
Dong Ha, I heard you were born in Italy.
- Yes. - Is your father a diplomat?
No. My father studied art in Italy.
My father and my mother studied in the same school.
You must speak Italian fluently.
I only know how to say hello.
- Those are Italian restaurants. - We know that, too.
(He's just a Korean.)
It's your first appearance on a variety show, Dong Ha.
I heard you can be as funny as Jae Jin of Sechs Kies.
I saw him on Radio Star.
And he was stretching his skin.
My skin is very elastic.
(He suddenly stretches his skin.)
- Look at him. - Right. Are you a rubber man?
(He looks like he has a supernatural power.)
I was fascinated that there's someone just like me.
By saying you can be as funny as Jae Jin, you mean you can do that.
I mean I can stretch my skin like him.
- I thought he'd talk as funny. - I know.
- It's too bad he did it first. - Show us.
My skin stretches quite a lot.
(They are amazed.)
(Han Wi even moves closer to watch him.)
- Doesn't it hurt? - It doesn't hurt.
Your skin is like Italian pizza dough.
- It's like cheese. - It's like cheese.
- That's right. - Can I give it a try?
- Sure. - Take it easy.
- Face the camera.
(His face is as elastic as Italian mozzarella cheese.)
(He proves that he's from Italy.)
When the wind blows, you might be able to fly.
(He might fly like a flying squirrel.)
This girl is the youngest friend of Gu Ra.
- Her name is YooA. - YooA.
He kept praising her in the waiting room.
- He said you're a good girl. - She's very bubbly.
Are you promoting your shoulders today?
(It's as if she's displaying her shoulder.)
- Are you promoting your shoulder? - Yes, my left shoulder.
You think you started to gain popularity because of Gu Ra.
Yes.
When I first appeared on "King of Mask Singer",
I thought he would be very scary.
But he greeted me back so nicely.
So I thought he was very different from what I thought.
You didn't think he would greet you back.
I was worried that he wouldn't.
Your expectation of him was really low to begin with.
She's impressed that he greeted her.
- She thinks he's the nicest person. - Her expectation was too low.
On "King of Mask Singer", he shouted,
"You're the dancing queen"...
and asked me to dance.
My dance went viral online, and people liked me for it.
Actually, before the shoot began today,
I listened to Lionel Richie's...
"You Are" to root for YooA.
- Really? - That sounds very childish.
(He doesn't forget to add a pun.)
Your role model used to be Yu Jae Seok,
but now it's Kim Gu Ra.
- Gosh... - It sounds suspicious.
- It sounds like you plotted it. - Don't do that.
- We want to stop you. - Stick with Jae Seok for your good.
I will quietly root for you.
(He's like Daddy-Long-Legs.)
Gu Ra can't be the role model for girls.
What are you talking about?
Originally your role model...
- was Jae Seok? - Before I met...
Gu Ra and Jae Seok in real life,
I saw Jae Seok only on TV.
And everyone praises him, you know?
So that's what I thought of him.
While I was shooting with Gu Ra,
there were many things about him that surprised me.
There is a reason why some people get famous.
Has he ever paid this much attention to a talking guest before?
- Has he ever been so attentive? - At this point,
- he should interrupt. - But he's not interrupting.
- He's different. - I'm listening to her.
During the shoot of "King of Mask Singer",
- he said something very impressive. - What was that?
He said, "When I say something,"
"I bet my life on it."
He said that's how he feels whenever he says something.
(Did I say that?)
- Did I say something like that? - You did.
- He bets his life on it. - Then you should be long dead.
He should've died a long time ago.
Hey.
(Soo Ro is even worse.)
(They're just joking.)
- YooA, is your original name Si Ah? - Yes.
- I see. - Si Ah.
- Si Ah.
S.M. Entertainment wouldn't like her much.
- S.M. Entertainment wouldn't... - We're targeting Asia.
- Your name is Si Ah? - Yes.
What does it mean?
- It means "My new beginning". - I see.
- What's your last name? - It's Yoo.
Yoo Si Ah.
- So you took out "Si". - She took out "Si".
- That's a beautiful name. - That's a beautiful name.
- I wanted to keep my name. - YooA is beautiful too.
- Because there's Xia Junsu, - It's because of him.
- they said I will be... - Yes.
hated by many people if I use this name.
- I see. - Who said that?
My boss said that.
- He persuaded me. - She's offending S.M. right now.
That is why I like her.
I love how she's so slow-witted.
(The rookie entertainer is slow-witted.)
She was once on "My Little Television,"
and she came to my room when she was visiting another room.
- YooA did? - She said, "I heard..."
"you recommended me to Radio Star."
- But she wouldn't leave. - She wouldn't go back to her room.
She just kept talking.
You wished that she'd go, right?
Yes. You didn't know that?
(She nods.)
- You didn't know that? - She didn't know.
- She is slow-witted. - She is.
She is slow-witted.
(They are enjoying making fun of her.)
Soo Ro, you're famous for having been making money...
by selling tickets, ever since you were an unknown actor.
- Yes. - I heard you sold 4,000 tickets...
- for this performance. - Do you sell to big companies?
Of course. I have to sell to them.
I go to them and pitch.
I pitch why they have to watch it and why cultural exposure...
- is important for their employees. - Cultural exposure.
Yes. You know,
a seaweed product with my face...
- has recently been released. - Yes.
Why don't you give it out when you pitch?
Aren't you from the same Kim family?
- I'm from Gwangsan Kim clan. - What does that have to do with it?
It was a dad joke.
(He likes lame puns.)
- It was funny. - When you pitch,
you can call Min Jong and make him sing "Guicheondo Love".
Then I would've sold 40,000 tickets by now.
- But he wouldn't sing that. - No.
- Why not? - He wouldn't.
- This is why you hated it here. - Yes.
(That's right.)
(This is tough.)
Soo Ro, you are a person with strong energy.
So you fight with your house...
if your house has stronger energy than you.
You attack your house.
I moved from Daechi-dong to Hannam-dong.
You either become really successful or really unsuccessful.
There's that rumour for people running a business.
When I moved,
I felt tired for a month even if I slept six hours a day.
- I still felt tired. - Is that right?
So I thought this was what I heard about bad feng shui.
It felt bad, too.
So before going home,
I told myself, "You can do it, Soo Ro!"
"Bring it on!"
(Let's fight.)
So I fought for a month, and I won.
You overcame the energy.
I heard it's even better if you receive that energy.
I had to move again.
I moved to the next building.
So you don't live in that house anymore.
- Yes. It's the whole town. - But...
it was hard to win the fight. Why did you leave?
- My landlord raised the rent. - Of course.
- You can't beat that. - Really?
- You can't beat that. - How can we beat money?
That's why humans are scarier than ghosts.
He can't beat that.
The landlords are the most powerful ones.
(The landlord is scarier than the ghosts.)
Min Jong,
when you were shooting "Mrs Cop 2", you promised...
that you'd marry Son Dam Bi if it gets 20 percent viewer rating.
- Yes. - There's a rumour that...
Dam Bi intentionally didn't work hard because of that.
She wanted to lower the viewer rating.
From what I know, Dam Bi really worked hard.
How is Dam Bi?
- Dam Bi? - She's beautiful.
- I like her. - Their age difference is perfect.
- She's in her 30s. - Yes.
At the after-party, we were very sad to bid farewell to each other.
I see.
- You can meet her in private. - In private?
- We could do that, - The agency might stop her.
but it's not easy.
- It's not easy. - Actually,
I introduced him to two women.
- Right. - I did.
I heard about one time.
Actually,
Jang Hoon and Gu Ra...
- really try to help me. - Right.
I am just curious.
- According to what I heard, - Yes.
there is an older woman born in 1968...
- who likes you. - That's too much.
People around you want you to work things out with her.
- She's four years older than you. - Yes.
- Are we talking about his past? - No.
It happened recently.
It's not easy.
I feel dizzy.
(He develops Radio-Star-phobia.)
Isn't it too far from your target age?
She's 20 years older than his target age.
Let's move on to another topic.
His mother-in-law could be born in 1968.
This is why I don't want to be on Radio Star.
- Persevere. - Min Jong is...
- You have to survive through it. - You have to endure it.
But age doesn't matter that much, does it?
Of course not.
Is it really not important?
(He hesitates.)
It's not important.
(He yells.)
You hesitated for a while there.
It's because I got upset.
You see...
Honestly, I can't date anyone because of Radio Star.
What did we do?
Three years ago when I was here, you and Jang Hoon said...
I like young and voluptuous girls.
Min Jong told me this. "I don't know about other things,"
"but if I had to choose, I'd go with a girl with nice body."
- And tall. - Tall.
Yes.
- That's his ideal type of woman. - What is his type?
First of all, she has to be in her twenties.
No. No.
(Laughing)
Then you can speak for yourself here.
Say that you don't care about age.
I don't care about age.
There you go.
You don't care about the age.
You also don't care about nationality or race!
That was a good one.
Say that you don't care!
Don't care about the nationality.
Be as accepting as you can.
I have a favour to ask.
There are many people who feel sorry for me.
Right.
If you feel sorry for me, just leave me alone.
- Just leave me alone. - He sounds like Gook Jin.
(At the time of the shoot, he didn't reveal his relationship.)
- But Min Jong smells like booze. - Right.
(They smell differently.)
Han Wi is Min Jong's role model, and Han Wi thinks...
Min Jong has to come to his senses first before anything.
What do you mean by that?
Listen to what I have to say.
Didn't you get married around his age?
- He did. - You got married in your forties.
I got married when I was 49.
- Is that right? - Yes.
This is what I mean by saying that he needs to come to his senses.
This is what I believe.
Whether it is your assistant or a lady,
you dream of meeting a perfect person.
There must be perfect people out there, but we can't meet them.
I think those people are even more dangerous.
If they are so perfect for me,
they would be perfect for someone else too.
They could be even more perfect for another person.
So even if the person you met is slightly lacking,
your relationship can be stronger.
I think he needs that mindset as he looks at the world.
I hope he will come to realise that.
(He subtly disses Min Jong.)
I don't mean that Min Jong is not in his right mind.
I just hope he will come to realise that now.
Realistically speaking,
how old does the lady have to be perfect for Min Jong?
There are many factors to consider.
When I was getting married...
You all know that it wasn't the marriage I wanted, right?
- Yes. - Your wife liked you.
My marriage was possible because someone...
19 years younger than me liked me.
If I thought of marriage while dating a girl...
19 years younger than me, that would make me worse than a beast.
(He would be worse than a beast.)
- Why would you say that? - No.
A man who dates a girl 19 years younger than him...
and thinks about marrying her is insane in my opinion.
The girl has to want it.
To other people, it looked like marriage.
To me, it was like handling a complaint.
(His wife filed a complaint to him.)
My wife continued to like me.
So it was like...
So it was like she was filing a complaint to you.
She was way too young for me.
I couldn't possibly think of her as a wife material.
I once even warned her. "I might be mistaken,"
"but if you like me, stop it."
I tried to persuade her, but she continued to like me.
- So I said something crucial. - What did you say?
"Are you even willing to marry me?"
And she said,
"Why not?"
That's what she said.
I was so dumbfounded when I heard that.
So I came to my senses.
I came to my senses.
What I did after that was...
- accepting her request. - You accepted her.
It sounds like he talked her into it though.
- No. That's not true. - "Are you willing to marry me?"
(He feels guilty.)
It must've been hard to have three children.
It wasn't easy.
At this age, I had three kids.
I did it in the Biennale style. I had 1 every 2 years.
It wasn't easy.
- It may look easy, but it's not. - It's not.
- The viewers of Radio Star... - Thanks to my health.
gets to learn that the Biennale is held every two years.
This is an informative show.
(Han Wi is proud.)
Min Jong, I heard you received a boutonniere...
- at Ahn Jae Wook's wedding. - Yes, I did.
- You think you became... - boutonniere.
even more miserable after receiving that.
(Why?)
I wouldn't really put it that way.
But it would've been better if I didn't receive it. I was forced.
It's better to receive it when you can.
- When you get the opportunities, - Well...
- you just have to take it. - Sprinkle them in your bathtub.
You don't have to rush it.
Of course. He's right.
You never know what will happen.
Anyway, I will take care of myself.
(He asks them to leave him alone.)
You two are the same.
He's a little anti-social like you.
- He's like that. - He says he'll figure it out.
When people give him advice,
he always says he will take care of himself.
He always says that he will take care of himself.
He always says that.
That's his style.
He has to take care of himself.
If I don't say that, they just go on, so I say that.
He is worried too.
That's why he says he will take care of it.
- He's doing what he can. - It's better to hide it...
until he announces marriage.
It's not like that. I want to date openly.
- Is that right? - When you get a girlfriend?
- Is that right? - Then...
if you date someone, it will be very obvious.
- Right. - Right.
- Really? - I want to do that.
Is it okay if Gu Ra says who you're dating on TV?
- Of course. - Of course.
- Really? - When I get a girlfriend,
I'd introduce her to them right away.
- So they can talk about it. - Of course.
- We are really waiting for it. - Of course.
- We can't wait. - Right.
Min Jong is trying very hard.
He lowered his age by one year.
He did that to appear younger.
- He lowered his age. - Did he change his family register?
He's doing everything he can.
- When did I lower my age? - He lowered his age.
When did I lower my age?
But it's true.
- Min Jong is class of 1990. - Yes.
But he was born in 1972.
- Early 1972. - Yes.
Dong Yeob is also class of 1990.
He and Dong Yeob used to be of the same age.
But now, he wants to appear a little younger,
so he says they're a year older.
That's not true.
There are times when things get mixed up because of me.
That happened with Kang Sung Jin.
For example, Dong Yeob and Ho Dong...
aren't considered the same age because of me.
We get together often, and I'm in an awkward position.
So I thought it would be better to clarify that Dong Yeob's older.
He's also being considerate for ladies.
He wants to make himself a little younger.
How is that being considerate for ladies?
It's true.
How is that right?
It's true though.
Was this the only place we could come?
(He yells at Soo Ro.)
(He's just kidding.)
- Really? - He's not old yet.
There are people who are far older than you...
who are not yet married.
- And he's got such a fit body. - Of course.
We were at a locker room of a sauna.
We were reading a newspaper,
and there was a very beautiful lady on the front page.
I wear multi-focussed lenses,
because I'm far-sighted.
He doesn't wear any glasses. So I thought he had good eyesight.
He was reading the newspaper, so I thought his eyes were good.
And he said, "Jong Shin."
Please read this. What is this girl's name?
(He couldn't see.)
And it was on the front page.
Stop dissing him.
He just couldn't see the name.
Min Jong is far-sighted now.
You just have to wear the multi-focussed lenses.
I have one at home, but I don't bring them around.
The conclusion is that Min Jong can't see well.
That's not it. He asked...
for the name of the girl on the newspaper.
It means he's got bad eyesight.
No. No.
(I'm foolish for expecting them to compliment me.)
Han Wi had a three-hour pre-taping interview.
(That's very long!)
- That's mad. - That must've been the longest.
For 30 minutes, you emphasised the importance of greeting.
- The importance of greeting. - Yes.
I heard you gave a speech.
I am not a very old person,
but I've been working in this field for over 30 years.
And I feel comfortable when I greet people.
When I was just starting out, I had to greet people,
and people greeted me back.
But these days, people don't greet each other.
It turns out it's not that people are not greeting each other.
Their way of greeting is different from our way.
For us, bending our neck and back...
- means greeting. - Right.
- We bow down. - We bow.
But young people greet each other differently.
The usual form of greeting is enlarging your pupil.
Hello.
(He opens his eyes big.)
This is how they greet each other.
- They don't bow down. - If they meet someone closer,
they make both of their pupils and their faces bigger.
That's how they greet people.
- I see. - The highest form of greeting is...
using their hands while enlarging their eyes and face.
Hello! For our generation, that doesn't qualify as greeting.
- Right. - Also, these days,
the young ones decide what to call me.
Some of them even change them from time to time.
- How? - Give us an example.
At first, they call me "Sir".
The second time they see me, they call me "Mr Lee".
The third time, they call me "Brother".
I can't say anything about that.
- While trying to fix it, - You might look petty.
I might make it worse.
What if you tell them call you "My Lord"?
(He can't believe it.)
- That's too much. - Isn't that good?
I will pretend I didn't hear that.
(I'll ignore him this time.)
(I want to remain peaceful.)
Apparently, Han Wi is a progressive fashionista.
Unlike others, he consults a stylist for a plain outfit.
I have photos of his outfits.
These are his own clothes.
He owns them.
- Only the colours are different. - The colours are different.
They are the same design with different colours.
- The design is the same. - Yes.
Let's look at a different outfit.
These outfits also have the same design.
I have another set in grey.
He has the same outfit in grey.
- He has three sets of this outfit. - He is fashionable.
Let's look at this one.
- These outfits are unique. - These have the same design, too.
I have another set in yellow.
He has another set in yellow.
I have a lot of outfits at home.
I am currently appearing on "Becoming the Dandelion in Wind".
- It's a play. - Jo Jae Hyun is in it.
- I watched it, too. - It has been around since 2008.
The play is set in a cemetery in the mountain.
That's why I wore an outfit that is similar to a cemetery.
You chose a green outfit.
You should have worn long underwear since the play is about old people.
(It's the style of old people.)
When Dong Ha was preparing to enter a university,
he worked part-time as a telemarketer.
I heard that you were even chosen as the best employee once.
It took me four years to enter a university.
- I see. - Yes.
I entered the university after four years.
I had many different jobs. I once worked as a construction worker.
I also worked at cafes and record shops.
Working as a telemarketer was the most memorable.
I stayed on the phone the entire day...
and offered people to get a card from a newspaper company.
- Most people would hang up. - That's right.
Most people went, "For goodness' sake."
Sometimes, middle-aged women would say,
"Young man, you have a nice voice."
Quite a few of them said that.
Middle-aged women usually said that.
- You captivated them. - He does have a nice voice.
I heard that you cannot hang up...
- even if it's a spam call. - You are reminded of the past.
I know how taxing the work can be.
The job is mentally demanding.
When I get a call, I say, "I know how it feels."
- "It must be hard." - You still have to hang up.
- You hang up in the end. - I let them talk.
I don't say yes to what they ask, but I listen to them.
I bet they hang up and say, "What a crazy man."
"He should have hung up if he isn't interested."
(He is a slow-witted man with a honey-like voice.)
Dong Ha, when you had debuted in the musical industry,
you caused a musical to close early.
You inflicted serious damage to the production company.
I was in a musical, "Grease".
The year was 2009 and I had just debuted.
The nation had an outbreak of H1N1 influenza A.
The musical venue was in Daehangno.
People started to say that someone was infected.
Rumour had it that a newly debuted actor was infected...
and people were advised to stay out of Daehangno.
The rumour spread,
and the audience dwindled because of that.
We would only get 10 or 20 people in the audience.
Were you the one infected?
Yes, I was.
He caused the musical to close early.
He had many ups and downs in life.
Min Jong, you should look after him.
I met an extraordinary man.
(They make eye contact.)
You exposed your bottom with enthusiasm in "Grease"...
and made the actors happy.
My character exposes his bottom in the script.
- Cho Jung Seok had that role. - That's right.
- He talked about it. - The character is named Roger.
I go up a step and expose my bottom.
While the audience was uncertain if that's really my butt,
the actors knew it was because they were standing close to me.
In the beginning, I was determined to do a good job,
I was very passionate.
I completely pulled down my trousers.
What do you mean by "completely"?
- He pulled them down. - Down to your knees?
They came down to my knees.
Could the audience see you?
It wasn't very visible to the audience.
- However, the actors saw. - They could see him.
They could see from beneath.
He is a passionate man.
Why is it taking you so long to understand?
If you pull down the trousers, your...
He still worries about things like that.
(Kyu Hyun has a dirty mind.)
As a producer, what do you think about an actor like him?
He took the initiative and pulled his trousers down to his knees.
- It shows his passion. - Do you prefer actors like him?
More audience will come if the word gets out.
(He smiles happily.)
- Let's see how passionate he is. - Do we have a video clip?
- A clip? - There is no clip.
Why would you want to see it?
(He is disappointed.)
To demonstrate,
- I would move to the rhythm. - He is a good dancer.
Then my part would start.
It goes...
He can dance very well.
- That's great. - What is going on?
(Kyu Hyun has a dirty mind.)
What is going on?
(It's a powerful dance of a passionate man.)
That's how the scene went in a little vulgar way.
(It's a dance from the musical.)
I rolled my hips...
like this.
(The dance is as sexy as Hyun A's.)
- He is a good dancer. - Then...
I pulled down my trousers.
I pulled them down too much.
- No wonder you are popular. - Seriously.
(The audience loves his stage manner.)
YooA, you had no intention of becoming a singer.
Is it true that you chose to debut because of a stalker?
Yes. Someone followed me...
- more than five times a week. - Really?
- Who was he? - He was a stranger.
Was he in his 20s?
One was in his 20s. There was an old man, too.
Were there many stalkers?
Yes, there were. Different people followed me every time.
When I was in high school,
someone tried to get me into a car.
That's dangerous.
There were too many stalkers.
One whispered vulgar words into my ears...
- as he passed by. - Really?
- She was popular. - How can a stranger do that...
as he passes by?
(How can a stranger whisper vulgar words as he passes by?)
I was so scared that I decided to become famous.
Then no one would be able to attempt anything.
That's why you decided to become famous.
- Min Jong, you had a stalker, too. - Yes.
I heard that she was lying down on your bed.
I didn't know at first, but she started...
to come to my house.
She must have gotten angry when I started to avoid her.
She broke the intercom.
I called the police because it was too much.
When they brought her in and searched her mobile phone,
they found a photo she took while lying down on my bed.
They asked her how she knew the password.
She apparently watched...
when the help lady punched in the password.
I changed the password, but somehow she figured it out again.
- Did you change it to 1, 2, 3, 4? - It was frightening.
You should have used a padlock.
- Can I continue my story? - Yes, yes.
(He sighs.)
It was frightening. I was sleeping once...
when I heard someone punching in the password.
That woke me up.
She opened the door and came in.
I was so scared that I swore and called the police.
I changed the password to eight digits. She stopped coming.
I wondered why she stopped.
Apparently, she failed to pay the fine...
and ended up serving time.
She is in prison.
It became a big worry for Min Jong.
He took a lot of effort into the interior...
of the house he currently lives in.
He told me that he hates the house now.
So I came up with an idea.
I told him to switch houses with Jang Hoon.
- Seo Jang Hoon. - If Jang Hoon answers the door,
she will scream and run away.
(He is a giant who scares away stalkers.)
Why don't you switch houses with Jang Hoon?
It would be better to move to a different location.
It won't do to switch houses.
You can use the method that appeared in "Home Alone"...
and scorch the door knob with a lighter.
He can lay drawing pins by the door.
- For goodness' sake. - Hang an iron by the ceiling.
(He is shaking.)
Min Jong, you are a director at S.M. Entertainment.
I heard that the agency will take a trip on a chartered plane.
- Yes. - What will be your task?
Are you going to the Philippines?
- Hawaii. - We are going to Hawaii.
Who are going on this trip?
Are the staff going? Are only the celebrities going?
- All artists are going. - This trip...
includes all the staff.
How big is the group?
- It's a group of 300 people. - 300 people.
- I see. - Kyu Hyun won't be able to go.
I am going.
- I am looking forward to it. - I see.
Then I have a task for you.
The trip requires careful planning.
Kangta won't be able to go because of a radio programme.
When we had SM Town Live World Tour in LA,
Kangta and I did something.
Since a lot of reporters came,
Kangta and I acted as flight attendants.
- You provided in-flight services. - That's right.
- In-flight services. - Artists and friends...
are going on this trip.
"What would you like to drink? Soju or beer?"
- Kyu Hyun would do a good job. - They will get soju and beer.
The actual flight attendants will be on board, right?
I don't think they will give us soju and beer.
I am asking if they will be on flight.
- You misunderstood. - I am asking if they will be there.
- Will they be on flight? - I see.
Of course they will be there.
- I am sorry. - That was funny.
Imagine a flight attendant pouring soju and beer.
(He acts out the scene.)
(Perhaps I was too excited.)
If there could be a patent on soju and beer cocktail,
Min Jong would apply for it.
- He makes a delicious cocktail. - Do you use a ratio of 5 to 5?
There is a way of doing it. I can't explain with words.
- It's his secret. - It requires keen senses.
I bet he has a recipe written down.
I developed a cocktail called Golden Cheong.
- Golden Cheong cocktail. - Golden Cheong cocktail.
- What does it mean? - Golden ratio of Cheongdam-dong.
(Golden ratio of Cheongdam-dong)
I became one of Lee Soo Man's favourites...
because I make amazing soju and beer cocktail.
- He is incredible. - A cocktail made you a director.
(A cocktail made you a director.)
Soo Ro, your wife told you to accept even a role of a servant...
- if the work is by Kim Eun Sook. - She wants me to be in her work.
She told me...
that I looked the coolest in Kim Eun Sook's work.
Why didn't you star in "Descendants of the Sun"?
I was in a different drama.
He accepted a role in a different drama.
It was a difficult decision.
(His decision had consequences.)
I bet it was.
I bet your wife now tells you...
to never star in a drama that is in a rivalry with Kim Eun Sook's.
I knew I was walking into my own grave.
(He walked into his own grave.)
I heard that Kim Eun Sook said this to Soo Ro.
"Come to me in your darkest hours."
"Then I will give you the best role."
- I am so jealous. - That's amazing.
She didn't say it like that.
She told me that she appreciated getting to know me.
She told me that we can always work together...
when she writes a good drama.
It was very touching.
Han Wi, do you have a supportive scriptwriter?
- Yes, I do. - You do?
I recently starred in "Oh Hae Young Again".
The scriptwriter told me that I did an amazing job...
and said she wishes we'd work together again.
- Park Hae Young did. - Park Hae Young did.
She apologised to me about not giving me a lot of lines.
I was in a similar situation.
You can read descriptive texts instead.
(When you don't have many lines...)
- What? - I did that for films.
If the description read...
"Watching the TV solemnly", I did this.
"I am solemnly watching the TV."
I made it into a line.
I don't think producers would like that.
In the script, there are descriptions that read...
"Flustered".
I would say, "I am flustered."
(That's a good idea.)
I want our scriptwriters to add,
"Gu Ra sits without a word."
The show wouldn't go anywhere without me.
Don't you know that?
Ask him to shut up.
Han Wi mentioned that he has three children.
The oldest child is nine years old.
Do your child and Jong Shin's child go to the same school?
We live in the same neighbourhood.
Ra Ik is in one grade above my child's.
He is following the footsteps of Ra Ik.
He went to the same kindergarten, too.
That's right.
You would think that his wife is older than mine,
but the opposite is true.
- Your wife stays at home. - She is older than my wife.
I see.
It's not much of a problem.
Jo Jae Hyun's wife is close to him in age.
Since Jae Hyun is four years younger than me,
it makes things awkward between the wives.
Jae Hyun's wife is the leader of the group.
- She is the oldest. - In those situations,
I tell my wife...
to stop worrying about their relations to me.
I tell her to speak formally even if the person is a year older.
I tell her not to worry about the relationships between men.
She wouldn't make friends otherwise.
It took Jae Hyun's wife three years to stop talking to my wife formally.
- It took effort on my wife's part. - It's a sticky situation.
I even tell my wife...
that she doesn't need to use the honorific title...
to my younger brother's wife.
It's not a matter of importance.
What is the age difference between her and her sister-in-law?
I am not sure.
My brother is two years younger than me.
My brother married a woman his age.
That means she is 17 years older than my wife.
Tradition dictates that she use an honorific title to my wife.
I tell them not to worry about it.
Your wife will find it hard to address her by the title.
She doesn't use it. It's similar to what my mother-in-law does.
She has never addressed me as "Son-in-law".
That's right.
She uses it in sentences,
- but she never directs it at me. - Doesn't she say, "My son-in-law"?
- That would be awkward. - She never directs the title at me.
"When is my son-in-law coming home?"
(Hesitant)
She never uses it directly.
It's only a part of the sentence.
- She uses it in sentences. - It has been 10 years.
I think you should approach her with more enthusiasm.
I respect my mother-in-law's choice.
I'm not going to tell her what to do.
He is only three years younger than his mother-in-law.
My wife has two uncles who are younger than me.
(They burst into laughter.)
I use honorific titles without worrying about the age difference.
It's not a problem.
(He loves peace.)
I have something funny to add.
This happened when I met my wife's uncle for the first time.
I think he said this on impulse.
He looked at me and said, "You can speak to me casually."
(You can speak to me casually.)
I couldn't do that.
- I was so confused. - You were similar in age.
I spoke to him even more respectfully.
That solved the problem.
(His family is very polite.)
- It's funny. - I couldn't speak to him casually.
You should solve the situation between you and your mother-in-law.
- She will get used to it. - I will leave it as it is.
We are on good terms.
It's the most ideal situation.
That's right.
So that your wife will be more at ease,
meet actors like Lee Chang Hoon and Byeon Woo Min.
I do meet with them.
- They married much younger women. - I do meet up with them.
Yoo Yeol and Jung Won Gwan are another examples.
There are many people in his situation.
- Make a group with them. - There is a group.
- There is a group named 2PM. - Why is it named 2PM?
Since our children are young,
wives meet in the morning after sending children to kindergartens...
and part before 2pm.
- That's why it's named 2PM. - It ends before 2pm.
The members are wives of Byun Jin Sub, Park Sung Woong,
Kim Jung Min, Jung Woong In,
- Jang Jin, me... - Those are the members.
and Lee Su Geun. Even though he is unqualified,
Jae Hyun is also a member.
The group of eight wives is called 2PM.
After 2PM became a hit,
the husbands decided to form a group...
and made 2AM.
We meet and stay out until 2am.
(Hello, we are 2AM.)
Han Wi, you found out...
about your wife's plastic surgery after the second child.
That's right.
Don't you have sharp eyes?
- It's not like that. - You knew after you saw the child.
I was unprepared for the topic of my second daughter.
Anyway,
when my first daughter was born,
I wasn't sure who she took after.
However, everyone said that she looks like my wife.
Then my second daughter was born.
I could see that she looks nothing like me.
My first and second daughters look different.
That made me realise...
my first daughter takes after me indeed.
I can prove it.
I have my mobile phone with me.
This is a recent family portrait.
- Let's see. - They are beautiful.
Take a look.
Your second daughter looks like her mother.
She really does.
Actors use a term, "Connection"...
to describe filming for the same day in the story.
I couldn't see the connection.
Different scenes need to connect.
My wife doesn't have exceptionally big eyes,
but my daughter's eyes were too small.
I said, "While she looks like you,"
- "her eyes aren't like yours." - You couldn't see the connection.
Connection is very important for actors.
If we are filming for the same day in the story,
we cannot wear a different outfit or a watch.
- It breaks the connection. - That's right.
When I told my wife about it, she confessed that...
she had an eye surgery.
(She confessed that she had an eye surgery.)
People suspect...
YooA got plastic surgeries because her face has changed a lot.
Let's take a look.
- My goodness. - No!
- She is so cute. - Her eyes are small.
She looks the same except for the hairstyle.
- I want to go home. - The name on the photo is Yeon Ju.
- Why is the name Yeon Ju? - It's not Si Ah.
Yeon Ju is the name I was born with.
- I had a name change. - You changed it to Si Ah.
- What kind of hairstyle is this? - How cute!
- It's a gorilla's hairstyle. - Where did you live back then?
I lived in Dongdaemun-gu.
(It makes sense.)
- Is this Doota Mall style? - She lived in Dongdaemun-gu.
I have seen such hairstyles at Doota Mall.
I am familiar with the hairstyle.
- Hello apM is there, too. - Many people had that hairstyle.
- Migliore is there, too. - Your face hasn't changed.
That hairstyle was in vogue back then.
I look different because of the glasses.
When you go to Buckingham Palace,
there are guards stationed outside who wear big hats.
- Her hair looks like a hat. - I can't believe my photo is here.
- They didn't keep their promise. - They never do.
(This is the world of variety shows.)
(The newcomer in a variety show trusted the scriptwriter.)
Dong Ha, you once went to an emergency room...
during the play because of Bae Seong Woo.
Bae Seong Woo.
I got stitches here.
I got it covered with makeup.
It was a play with three actors,
and Seong Woo and I played brothers.
A scene called for him to throw a plate,
but it ended up getting stuck on my forehead.
My goodness.
I was unconscious for a second.
- You fainted. - I fainted for a second.
- I've never fainted in my life. - It seems you faint all the time.
It sounds like a hobby.
(He faints all the time.)
It hurt so much. I pressed on the wound.
When I took my hand off, blood began to flow.
My blood was all over the stage.
Seong Woo was so shocked.
He had the next line.
He said, "Answer me. Answer me."
I said "Yes"...
to indicate that I can go on.
I applied pressure to my wound and kept going.
- You finished the play. - I did it while bleeding.
- Really? - Yes.
When Seong Woo returned to backstage after the curtain call,
he cried because he was sorry.
He's the man who spins things on his finger, right?
Yes, he's good at that.
(I'm the one that spins things on my finger.)
- I just remembered that he did it. - You remembered that.
- I'm not saying that's all he does. - I see.
I meant he's good at that.
- It sounded like it has... - It sounded a little strange.
a negative connotation.
Seong Woo, I'm sorry.
Kim Min Jong is the one who is still single, right?
(He makes a joke imitating the way Han Wi spoke.)
Dong Ha, you played in a popular morning drama last year.
- I did. - Was the drama popular?
- Do you know "Eve's Love"? - Oh, "Eve's Love"?
- It was a popular drama. - The internet users...
posted about the scene where someone gets slapped with pasta.
A slap with pasta?
I haven't heard of it.
Why do they always slap someone in morning dramas?
There was a slap with kimchi.
- A slapping scene is essential. - A slap with pasta isn't shocking.
The scene made the drama popular.
While I was playing in the drama, my grandmother passed away.
Most of the viewers of morning dramas are middle-aged women.
When I arrived at the funeral,
- people cheered and applauded. - In the funeral home?
Yes. Since it was my grandmother's funeral,
I wasn't sure if I should be glad. It felt weird.
I was grateful, but it felt weird.
They asked for my autograph and took pictures with me.
- That happens a lot. - At some funerals,
even the family runs out to see a celebrity.
- That's right. - It happens a lot.
- Sometimes they pose like this...
when taking a picture.
At my father's funeral,
one of the guests lost his shoes.
He kept asking us to find his shoes.
- To your family? - Yes. How could we find his shoes?
I was really baffled then.
- It doesn't relate to his story. - I told you the story...
to calm you down and move on.
- Did he hit you with his shoes? - No.
I just wanted to calm you down to move on.
It should be a story of a man slapping you with his shoes.
(You should tell a story like that.)
Min Jong must hit it off well with his male friends.
- Whenever he's drunk, - He's a real man.
he kisses Kangta so many times.
Did you kiss him?
When we were having a great time while drinking,
I kissed him the way friends do.
- Did you kiss him on the lips? - Yes. It was just a peck.
- You kissed him on the lips? - Yes.
(It's a culture shock.)
We were both tipsy and feeling great.
It was just an expression of affection.
I think Min Jong and Kangta would look great together.
I'm glad you get physical touches anyhow.
(Min Jong is baffled.)
I wish time would pass faster.
- How much longer should we do this? - I have a question.
- For two more hours. - What?
(It was smooth.)
You must like mountain climbing. When you make plans,
your friends always have other plans.
It's not like that.
There's a rumour that you work with a ginseng digger.
Shin Seung Hun always promises me he'll go to a mountain with me,
but when I try to make a plan, he has another plan.
Everyone has other plans. Soo Ro is really busy, too.
I don't like mountain climbing.
(He just doesn't like mountain climbing.)
When your friends can't go with you,
do you climb a mountain with wild ginseng diggers?
I have a close friend...
who digs wild ginseng and picks pine mushrooms in Seoraksan Mountain.
Since I became friends with him I've gone to Seoraksan Mountain often.
People cook ramyeon with pine mushrooms in the mountains.
- That's right. - I called Min Jong...
when I went to Gangwon Province.
- I want to go there right now. - I said I was in Sokcho.
I asked him to tell me a good sashimi restaurant.
He said, "Don't worry."
I went to the restaurant he recommended.
It was in front of the beach, and a lot of people can find it easily.
I didn't even have to ask him to find that restaurant.
Wasn't the atmosphere great?
No, it wasn't that good.
It's been my regular restaurant for about 30 years.
The original cart bar got damaged by a typhoon.
What is it called?
It must have a name.
You have to tell more so I can help you out.
- He was rushed too much. - It's not an actual building...
- A temporary building. - Oh, a temporary building.
- It's like a tent. - The atmosphere was better before.
- I think Gu Ra lacks sensitivity. - I see.
- He was very sentimental last time. - Many of those who went there...
said it's a beautiful place with a nice view and good food.
I'm sure they just couldn't tell you the truth.
I want to try the ramyeon with pine mushrooms.
- You shouldn't cook ramyeon first. - That's right.
- Eat parboiled mushrooms first. - Absolutely.
- He picked those mushrooms, right? - We eat freshly picked mushrooms.
They smell amazing.
It must taste great when you eat it in the mountain.
- It must be wonderful. - We eat it next to the valley.
Eating fresh pine mushrooms is good,
but those wild pine mushrooms are...
The person who gave the mushrooms to me and Min Jong...
got arrested after he sent those.
(He got arrested.)
- He was arrested. - I can't match him in talking.
(Min Jong gives up.)
Lee Hoon is a very energetic person like yourself, Min Jong.
You ruined the mood at his wedding.
- I think I went to his wedding. - Right.
How did you ruin the mood?
(What did he do at the wedding?)
(Min Jong hesitates.)
Was it serious?
- Was he drunk? - It wasn't serious.
The accompanist started playing with the wrong key.
It was difficult to sing on key.
I should have stopped and started over again,
- but I was too nervous. - Did you just go on?
I knew it wasn't the right key while singing.
- Was it high or low? - It was too low.
- It was too low? - It was way too low.
- What song did you sing? - I sang "With Love".
- "With Love"? - Yes.
- Could you show us how you sang? - This is the right key.
In my life
I think it's F-sharp.
- But I sang in the A key. - I see.
In my life
- It sounds solemn and nice. - I knew it wasn't the right key.
My head kept telling me to start over again,
but the guests were looking at me with such serious looks.
- In my life, I have something - I have something
- It's hard... - To do
It's hard to sing that low note.
I have something
It was my fault.
I should have rehearsed with the accompanist.
Both of us were too nervous to start over.
- What did Hoon say? - He must've said, "Go away."
Whatever he said, I'm to blame. I ruined the performance.
- I have something to do - Something to do
It must have been so funny.
He sang it to celebrate the wedding.
There was a solemn atmosphere during the performance.
I was sweating. It was the hardest performance I'd ever done.
- With our everlasting - Some people were giggling.
- I saw them giggling, - Our
and I kept telling myself to stop the performance, but...
- Everlasting love - Everlasting love
(Min Jong, please.)
Fortunately, Hoon watches the video again...
when he has a fight with his wife.
- He says it makes them laugh. - I understand.
I'm worried they might watch it too often.
(He's worried for nothing.)
(I hope they'll resolve the problems well.)
Soo Ro... This is amazing.
He promoted his movie even at his wedding.
- His movie was released right then. - They display the couple's photos.
I played the trailer of my movie instead.
(He played his movie trailer instead of the wedding photos.)
He's a businessman.
- That's amazing. - What was the movie?
It was "A Cruel Attendance". The movie flopped.
(He feels bitter.)
- I wish it had been a hit. - Me, too.
- It failed. - We got married in the same year.
- Kang Ho Dong, you and I. - That's right.
- We've been married for 10 years. - Yes.
- This year is critical. - That's right.
I'm working a side job.
(I'm working a side job.)
(He's making extra money to buy his wife a handbag.)
YooA, you're as good as Soo Ro at hypnotising yourself.
You hypnotise yourself every night before you sleep.
That's true. Before my group debuted...
I'd been trained for the shortest time among my group members.
How long were you trained?
I was trained for only 6 or 7 months.
So I went through what my group members had experienced...
while they were trainees after I debuted.
In the beginning of my career...
- I cried every single day. - You cried?
I cried so much.
So I came up with a way of hypnotising myself.
Before I sleep at night,
I imagine the universe in my head.
- I'm floating in the air. - Right.
I imagine all kinds of great aura.
I pick one colour of aura that would suit me...
and let it wrap around my entire body.
Then, I keep telling myself that I'm that type of person.
Please teach Min Jong how to hypnotise himself.
You should learn that.
Learn how to do that from her.
I can take care of myself.
What's wrong with learning to do that?
- Could you explain to me again? - First, lie down,
close your eyes and relax your body.
Imagine that your body is floating in space.
(She's demonstrating again.)
You're floating among the countless stars.
Imagine aura wrapping around your body like threads.
You can just think of the type of aura you want to have.
I don't really have time to hypnotise myself.
He can't lose his face.
(Soo Ro makes a lame pun.)
(They're shocked by his lame joke.)
I have my own way of controlling my anger.
I really want to tell you.
- We'd like to learn that. - Of course.
- Please teach us. - We learn a lot from her.
- Age doesn't matter. - When you get really angry,
- write down what's bothering you. - I see.
- You can write swear words, too. - Okay.
When you're done writing it, hold the note in your hands...
and read it out loud.
And then, tear it in pieces...
and throw it away so no one can see it.
It helps a lot to relieve stress.
So I write, "I hate Jong Shin."
and throw it away?
(That's right.)
You must be very busy at home.
(She must be busy hypnotising herself and relieving stress.)
Han Wi, you seem confused about what she said.
Can't you just pretend that you like her stories?
- It's not like that. - It must sound weird to him.
- You can learn... - I can't relate to what she says.
I'm trying to think of something else.
Still...
I'm just hoping we'll move on to the next story quickly.
(He's kidding.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Our theme today is for the guests who are here to promote themselves.
It's "The Song for the Train to Promotion".
We haven't heard Min Jong sing for a while. This is the song he chose.
- Oh, I have to sing. - You have to.
(It's a song that makes you want to imitate Min Jong.)
("Beautiful Pain" is the title track from Min Jong's sixth album.)
- It's "Beautiful Pain". - That's right.
- Why did you choose this song? - Right.
This is one of my favourite songs.
I remade the song for my drama, "A Gentleman's Dignity".
I sang the song again.
It's an old song, but it's still so good.
Min Jong will sing the song with Kyu Hyun.
- It's a difficult song to sing. - They'll sing "Beautiful Pain".
I haven't heard this song in a while.
("Beautiful Pain" by Kim Min Jong)
You look great.
(Kyu Hyun is singing with the director of his agency.)
(I'll wait for you a little longer with my longing for you)
(He sings his senior singer's song with all his heart.)
(I've endured a long wait cherishing our memories)
(He raises his thumb.)
(The original singer starts singing.)
(He's holding the microphone in a unique way.)
(He sang in the same posture 16 years ago.)
(Jong Shin is reminiscing old memories.)
(As Min Jong sings his heart out, lost in old memories,)
(Kyu Hyun looks at him with admiration.)
(He admires Min Jong so much...)
(that he decides to imitate Min Jong.)
(He's good.)
(He imitates Min Jong's facial expression very well.)
(He looks like he's entertaining his boss while drinking.)
(It looks like they're having a work get-together.)
(He imitates Min Jong's signature gesture.)
(With his impressive impersonation, their performance ends.)
(Kyu Hyun must be embarrassed about his impersonation.)
Thank you.
I thought Min Jong was singing with Kim Jung Min.
"Kim Min Jong and Kim Jung Min are singing together."
(All three of them makes the same facial expression while singing.)
Now, let's hear the song YooA chose.
(What song did YooA choose?)
It's "Part of Your World" by Jodi Benson.
This song is from the soundtrack of "The Little Mermaid".
Why did you choose this song?
I have a notebook in which I write my dreams.
One of my dreams was to act in a musical.
- You write everything about you. - Right.
- That's right. - She writes swear words and dreams.
I wanted to sing this song in front of Soo Ro...
- as if I were in an audition. - That's great.
- Soo Ro is a musical play producer. - Yes.
- I'm not good, but I'll do my best. - We have a producer here.
- Yes. - I love the way she thinks.
- It feels like... - I hope more people think like her.
YooA will sing "Part of Your World".
- I'm nervous. - She'll sing "Part of Your World".
("Part of Your World" by YooA)
(As YooA narrates as if she were talking to the others,)
(the judges are listening carefully.)
(She starts singing with a shaky voice.)
(She immerses herself in the song to overcome her nervousness.)
(She hypnotises herself with her eyes closed.)
(She transforms into the little mermaid from the fairy tale.)
(She sings while walking as if she were under the sea.)
(She starts to relax and gets immersed in the song.)
(YooA's voice resonates softly.)
(They're mesmerised.)
(He seems to be hypnotised, too.)
(They're mesmerised, as well.)
(She's completely immersed in the song.)
(Soo Ro is satisfied.)
(She showed her dream through the performance.)
(As the song ends, she smiles with relief.)
- That was good. - She's like a voice actor.
- I was too nervous. - You did a great job.
Do you want to act in a musical?
I really want to.
- Doesn't she have a disadvantage? - What do you mean?
She has such a small face.
It's better to have a big face for acting in a theatre.
- She can't make her face bigger. - She can act in a small theatre.
- He should act in a large theatre. - That's right.
- Right. - He can perform in a stadium, too.
- What should she do, then? - He can perform in a sports arena.
(I can see his face from here.)
In a sports arena?
Don't you think she has a beautiful voice?
- Her voice suits Disney songs. - That's right.
I hope she'll be the first Asian to play Mulan.
- Do you want to go home? - No.
"Mulan" is a very old animation.
(He's embarrassed.)
The key to self-promotion is...
to have confidence in yourself.
With your limitless confidence like a train that never stops,
you survived in the train to promotion.
The next train for you to ride will probably be the train to success.
We hope you will be even more successful than you are now.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
