It's always better when we're together, Happy Together!
- Hello. - Hello.
(Happy Together has your Thursday nights.)
The term "Fatal Old Men" is popular these days.
Yes, I know.
What does it mean?
- Cho Jin Woong is a good example. - That's right.
- He's a good one. - He's a popular one.
The term refers to men in their 40s...
with charms of their own.
- There are a lot of men like that. - That's right.
- Jae Seok, you... - Me?
- You could be one of them. - Isn't he too young?
I'm just a middle-aged man...
or a middle-aged man with stomach aches.
I'm a man with stomach ache problems.
- I'm just that. - And he's a failed man.
(He's a failed man.)
- Sorry. - A failed man?
(Myung Soo gets mad when his juniors make fun of him.)
What are you talking about? You ruined my next line.
(Old men are sensitive about their efforts.)
He even looked at the script today...
- Really? - and prepared for this.
- He read the script? - That's right.
This term is quite popular these days.
- There's a culture of old men. - It's a new trend.
The media shouldn't only conform to younger people,
- but also have to focus on older generations. - Yes.
That's why we have invited the following people...
from different areas of expertise.
- Let's welcome them. Please come out. - Welcome.
(Fatal Old Men Special)
Welcome. Hello.
- There's Heung Gook. - My goodness.
- Hello. - Hello, Jung Min.
- Hello. - Eun Kwang is here.
- Byung Chul is also here. - Hello.
Oh, dear.
Hello. Come over here please.
- You can have a seat. - Long time no see.
Where do I sit?
- Lee Young Pyo gets past a defender. - He's through.
- Lee Keun Ho. - Shoot.
- Goal! - Goal!
He used to be called the Twinkling Eyes on the ground.
Let's welcome Lee Young Pyo, the football commentator.
Nice to meet you.
(He raises his hand.)
Unlike before,
Young Pyo is enjoying the spotlight.
When you introduce players on the field,
that's what you do.
- You're a celebrity now. - You're more relaxed.
- He scores a point. - That was a good one.
Choi Byung Chul is good at those types of attacks.
That's the first medal...
for the Korean fencing team.
That was Choi Byung Chul.
He's a noteworthy fencing commentator of Rio.
Let's welcome Choi Byung Chul.
- That's amazing. - Great.
This entertainer is the trendsetter on variety shows.
Please welcome Kim Heung Gook.
He may look old for an idol star,
but that's what makes him unique.
It's Seo Eun Kwang, the leader of BTOB.
(Eun Kwang is an older idol star.)
- BTOB. - Nice to meet you.
Our special MC for today, Kim Jung Min.
Thank you.
(She gets up.)
She's so polite.
That's right.
Why didn't you say that about me? I stood up, too.
Who are you, anyway?
- You saw me... - It's Seo Eun Kwang.
It's Seo Eun Kwang.
Myung Soo actually has seen him before.
- It's not his first time. - Exactly.
I know BTOB and Yuk Seong Jae.
- You do. - Yes.
You asked if Baro was in the same group.
(They make fun of him again.)
It doesn't matter who's in what group.
When did I ever meet B1A4 or BTOB?
- You just saw him. - You've seen him multiple times.
It's the second time.
I have to see them around six times to recognise them.
- Excuse me. - You're an old git.
You're getting old.
(A former marine makes fun of him.)
You can't use terms like that on TV.
- Just say "old man". - Oh, dear.
Who would call you that? That's me. You're an old git.
(I'm an old man and you're an old git.)
He's straightforward.
He's very blunt.
- People say that. - He's blunt.
- I'm the most popular middle-aged man. - You are?
His sunglasses look trendy.
That's right.
- They look nice. - I'm so popular these days...
- Right. - Right.
I get so many offers so I'm tired.
That's why I need something like this.
You're wearing it because you're tired?
Are you planning to take short naps?
This is a sponsorship product.
Is your cap sponsored?
Everything I'm wearing, including my cap, is sponsored.
(Everything he's wearing is sponsored.)
- He's representing all these businesses. - Right.
So, nothing except your own body is someone else's.
- That's right. - I see.
The rest are all borrowed.
They're all borrowed.
We also have to thank Heung Gook for something.
He said he'll stay until the end of the shooting.
- What a cool old man. - He won't...
He won't leave in the middle.
A truly commendable old man...
is one who waits for all the staff members to leave.
You did promise...
that you'll stay until the end,
but just in case you don't,
we suggest you write a contract.
We usually don't ask guests...
- to do this. - Sae Ho.
- You've grown a lot. - No.
That's not it. We just want you to keep your word.
- Really? - Yes, please read this.
- Do I have to do this? - Please read it.
- Read it. - Please read it out loud.
It's a formal note.
"Happy Together's..."
"Ban on Early Dismissal."
"I, Kim Heung Gook, promise to stay seated..."
"from the beginning to the end of today's shoot."
"If I don't, I'll give up my position as..."
"the president of Korea Singers Association."
I never agreed to do this.
Why would I swear on my position? I was elected.
- But you still need to say... - But this...
Who was that?
(The camera films the scene.)
He was startled.
- He was startled. - I got surprised.
Why do you get scared so easily?
- Do you get nightmares? - No, that's not it.
I need to do even better when I'm popular.
- That's why you can't sleep? - Right.
- I see. - You have to get the timing right.
- The right timing? - This is a great chance.
I'm the hairy popular guy.
- He said "I'm the hairy popular guy." - Please sign.
Excuse me. Please sign.
- All right. - He signed it.
(This is a historic moment.)
What a cool guy.
(He promises to stay until the end of the shoot.)
- Sae Ho! - Yes.
Send this to the president of KBS.
Heung Gook even signed a contract for us.
Let's now get started with our four guests.
Young Pyo, do you think you are...
an ordinary old man or an extraordinary one?
I've never thought about it because I had just...
learned what Fatal Old Men means this morning.
You didn't know it before?
I currently live in Canada.
You live in Canada?
He flew back to Korea to broadcast the Olympics.
He doesn't even know that I'm popular.
- He doesn't? - No.
- Didn't you know? - He's the hottest star.
I was so surprised. It's impossible.
So I explained it to him.
He gained popularity during the World Cup in Brazil,
and I'm in the same situation. That's what I told him.
Young Pyo, what do you think about Heung Gook?
He likes football very much...
and he passionately roots for our team,
but he's not much help.
That's how I think of him.
Of all sports, football is the most problematic one.
It's a problem because...
once a player become a star footballer,
he needs to be humble. I go abroad to cheer for them.
- Should we start over? - Nobody else does!
- Let's start over. - Who else would...
go through the trouble to go abroad to cheer for them?
Let's start over, Heung Gook.
Forget it. It's done already.
- We don't have to air it. - They'll cut it out.
What do you think about Heung Gook?
He always travels abroad for World Cup and Olympics.
When I see him in the audience before the game,
I tear up because I'm so thankful.
We were able to reach the semi-finals...
due to Coach Hiddink's training and the fans' support,
- but also... - also?
I think Heung Gook's support...
played a vital role in the result.
- That was a robotic response. - What do you say?
Because of incredible footballers like him,
Korean football exists.
Let's ask the same question to Byung Chul.
Do you think you're an extraordinary middle-aged man?
I admit that I'm a middle-aged man, but...
What was the question again?
Are you ordinary or extraordinary?
I'm extraordinary?
(He definitely sounds like a middle-aged man.)
This is not a quiz.
He sounds like an old man.
You win a free trip to Southeast Asia!
He thinks this is a quiz show.
You win a trip.
Byung Chul won a bronze medal...
in the Olympics and was on Happy Together.
Since then, it's been four years.
- I come on for every Olympics. - I see.
I'm a fencer, Choi Byung Chul.
(London Olympics Medallist Special in August 2012)
(He faced Lee Su Geun in a fencing match with hands.)
- That's so funny. - Good job!
(He proved himself as the eccentric entertainer.)
- Why are you sweating? - Byung Chul! Look at him.
You were one of the medallists and now...
- He's a commentator. - You're a commentator for KBS.
Once you become a commentator, you must feel old.
- What do you think? - Because he's not an athlete.
Before I became a commentator, I didn't watch my words.
- I wasn't reckless, but... - But?
- I think you were reckless. - No.
No, that's not true. You see...
- Explain yourself. - Is this what he means?
- You have to limit yourself. - I think...
- As a broadcaster, - You're being too cautious.
You're right.
- Am I right? - When I talk,
I have to be well-spoken and be decent?
Were you reckless?
You see...
Well...
- I... - Please speak!
- I usually... - I'm losing my patience.
You're not being cautious. You're not talking at all.
- He's overdoing it. - We need to get good ratings.
To summarise it,
you're now more careful than before, right?
- That's right. - That was so simple.
(He speaks more like a grandpa than a middle-aged man.)
That's what he meant.
- He's more careful now. - You are saying you're...
- more careful than before. - I used to be blunt.
Actually, you could be Eun Kwang's older brother.
They look alike. I agree.
- Right? - That's right.
You could be his older brother.
- They have similar hair. - I found him handsome.
- Do we look alike? - You do...
but it's not that Byung Chul looks like an idol star.
- You look like you'd be a good fencer. - Me?
I've never heard that one before.
- Aren't you good? - He looks like a fencer.
Now that she mentions it, you could be one.
- You're good. - You are!
(The younger one is a good fencer, too.)
(Eun Kwang has the fencing DNA in him.)
Eun Kwang, you're on today's special as an idol star.
- Yes, I am. - Why do you think you were invited?
I'm transitioning from an idol star to an older man.
- Because... - Eun Kwang is not too young...
- as an idol star. - I am older. I'm 27.
Some of the rookie idols stars are...
even 12 years younger than me.
- I see. - Our production staff said that...
said that Eun Kwang's face looks more mature.
(Does he look older than his age?)
- He's in our category. - He is, right?
Idol stars usually stand out but you fit right in.
He does.
They're all in the same group.
We could say that you're Young Pyo's family.
- Seriously. - You could be his youngest brother.
People would believe you if you said that.
But I paid so much attention to how I look today.
- I'm wearing pink eyeshadow... - I see it now.
And I parted my hair in the middle like an idol star.
That's what makes you look old.
You're trying to hide it.
I resemble some comedians.
Which comedians?
- The muscle man... - Lee Seung Yoon!
If I gain some weight, I'd look like him.
- You do look like Seung Yoon. - You do.
Nobody will know if I say this...
but he looks a lot like my father.
- Really? - Yes, his face...
You can call me a father.
- Can I? - Yes.
- Father. - Yes.
Is that his foster son?
Do you remember the 2002 World Cup?
- Of course I do. - How old were you?
- You were 13. - Yes, I was in 6th grade.
- He should remember. - I was 14 then.
- Is that right? - You're a year older than him.
- You're a year older than me? - What does that mean?
(Jung Min gets angry because she looks old.)
Jung Min kind of got angry.
Don't be mistaken.
You look older than Hyeon Gyeong.
He's shocked that I'm only a year older than him.
Maybe he thought you were younger than him.
Please welcome our honorary MC, Jung Min.
- Thank you. - She's beautiful.
- You came on with Hyeon Gyeong. - You're right.
- Right? - That's right.
I have a clear objective.
The atmosphere is leaning...
Am I not better than her? She's high maintenance.
This is how you do a body roll.
That's it?
- It's a robot. - Look.
- That's a robot? - My gosh.
You both did well on that episode.
- One of them became a host. - And not the other.
They were the final candidates.
Jung Min, be honest.
It would have hurt your pride to be back.
You could have declined. Why are you back?
No, I don't hold grudges. Why would I?
You never know what will happen.
(She could be the next MC.)
Things change. - She's fierce.
She's intense.
She's incredible.
Are you just here to check how things are here?
I kept mentioning how much I wanted to join you,
but I got no response.
So I'm back today to give it another try.
You're on the right track.
Jung Min, if you could choose the best middle-aged man,
who would you choose?
- Don't pick me. - Okay, I won't.
- It's too difficult. - He jumped the gun.
I choose Young Pyo.
She picked Twinkling Eyes.
She's great.
It's my first time meeting her.
She's great.
- Do you know her? - Yes, she's an actress.
- Thank you. - I like you.
- He likes compliments. - He's definitely an old man.
- You took such good care of your body. - Exactly.
- I was surprised. - If you look at handsome men...
like Jung Woo Sung who is in his 40s,
but he takes good care of himself.
Doesn't he have great fashion sense, too?
- He's very sophisticated. - He has a nice body.
He's just wearing a cotton shirt and trousers.
He's wearing just trousers and cotton trousers.
- Cotton trousers and trousers? - What did you say?
- I said cotton shirt and trousers. - He said that.
- I said cotton shirt and trousers. - I see.
He'd be wearing two pairs of trousers then.
- That's what I meant. - That would be weird.
You apparently like fitted clothes?
He's wearing fitted clothes, right? Look at his pants.
You must like to show off your figure.
It's not that I like to show off my body.
I feel comfortable when my outfit is form-fitting...
- because I'm used to wearing a uniform. - I see.
Football players wear tight-fitting uniforms...
so that it's obvious when opponents grab the uniform.
I got used to wearing a tight-fitting uniform.
Now I feel comfortable in tight-fitting clothes.
- He has no belly fat. - I like tight-fitting shirts.
Ahn Jung Hwan and Young Pyo are...
the most famous as Old Men among football players.
- They're rivals. - That's right.
Young Pyo, who do you think is handsomer?
Jung Hwan is handsomer than me.
- Jung Hwan is? - Do you mean that?
I first saw Jung Hwan when he was in college...
- and I was in high school. - He surprised me.
- He looked amazing back then. - He was so handsome.
- He was such a good football player, - Right.
- and he was very handsome. - Yes.
Jung Hwan looked like a foreign player back then.
- He looked like a foreigner. - Like a prince.
He looked like a prince.
Because of Jung Hwan, headbands were popular back then.
- That's right. - Guys followed his hairstyle.
But now he looks like Mario in Super Mario.
Young Pyo hasn't changed, though.
- That's right. - Exactly.
- He didn't gain weight. - That's right.
I gained about 1kg.
(That doesn't count.)
- Gaining 1kg is nothing. - He's like an actress.
He's so annoying!
(All the actresses might be screaming.)
(I was just being honest.)
I have a question for you.
You found Jung Hwan cool when you first met him.
What was your first impression on Lee Chun Soo?
Why would you compare Chun Soo to him?
Why are you mentioning him?
I'm curious about how he felt when he saw Chun Soo.
- Please tell us. - Please be honest with us.
When I first saw Chun Soo,
I was surprised.
(He was shocked in different ways.)
That's mean.
- That's not what I meant. - Why were you surprised?
- What surprised you? - Please tell us.
- He could've been surprised by his talents. - Right.
I was surprised in many ways.
- Please elaborate. - I was surprised in many ways.
When Chun Soo was a senior in high school,
I was a college senior. We met in the Olympic team.
It was when the Olympic team kept winning,
but they lost a game against Japan.
Chun Soo joined the team when the team was dispirited.
On his first day, we had lunch together,
and he sat across my table.
While we were eating, Chun Soo said,
"How could you lose to the Japanese Olympic team?"
He said it in front of his senior players.
- How could he say that? - I can't believe it.
I hadn't even participated in that game...
because of an injury.
- That's unbelievable. - Wow.
After he said that,
we were all baffled, and then he said,
"If I was in the team, we would've won."
- That's unbelievable. - Indeed.
- It was... - He's bold.
A culture shock to me.
- Senior players were very strict then. - I see.
Normally, when a junior player acts like that,
- his senior scolds him for being rude. - Right.
- Please go on. - But he was beyond my imagination.
- I know what it feels like. - Your mind went blank.
- "What was that?" - There's a threshold...
where you decide if someone is rude.
But if they're beyond rude, we give up on them.
You're not supposed to touch them.
(Chun Soo is untouchable.)
- You need to give up on him. - Exactly.
- Kim Sook is like Chun Soo. - That's right.
She's beyond our imagination.
Her senior gave her 100 dollars to buy cigarette...
and she bought 100 dollars' worth of cigarettes.
- That's right. - Really?
Sook did that.
He told the others not to ask her to run errands.
When I was in college, I asked my junior...
to buy me milk and a banana.
He bought me banana flavoured milk.
That's a brilliant idea.
Jung Hwan used to be...
the best-looking guy among football players.
Do you think you can beat him now?
- Do you think so? - No.
- Really? - He still has the vibe he gave off...
when I first saw him. He was not only handsome,
but also he had great football techniques.
- He's great. - The way he plays football...
is more elegant than any other players I've met.
Stop talking about his past.
Tell us how he is now.
- How he's been? - Yes.
- Is he still as good as he used to be? - Recently...
Recently, his body has been a little...
A little...
- How should I say? It's a little... - Yes?
A little...
(I don't know how to put it.)
- He repeated "a little" many times. - Right.
- I guess it means "a lot". - Exactly.
- "A little, a little, a little." - It means "a lot".
- Goal! Oh, no. - Goal!
- Lee Keun Ho. Goal! - Goal!
- He scored a goal. - Goal!
- Lee Keun Ho pulled it off. - What did I tell you?
I told you he'd score a goal.
I heard Young Pyo was going to commentate with...
- Hyun Moo for the Brazil World Cup. - Really?
I heard that Hyun Moo even finished the screen test.
- I'll be honest. - Right.
Young Pyo had been selected as the commentator.
The other companies hired famous commentators...
- such as Ahn Jung Hwan... - That's right.
And Cha Bum Kun. They were very popular...
while Young Pyo didn't have any experience. - Right.
So they considered hiring me to attract viewers.
You almost worked with Hyun Moo.
- Did you know about that? - Yes.
- How did you feel? - Were you disappointed?
Were you glad that I decided not to work with you?
I was... Can I be honest?
- Of course. - Were you stunned like with Chun Soo?
(Again, he's lost for words.)
Was it another culture shock for you?
Can I be honest?
- Please be honest. - It's okay.
When I heard the news,
the first thing that came to my mind was...
that it didn't feel right.
(I don't like this pair.)
I'm glad you didn't work with him.
- My goodness. - What's the reason?
As I expected, he was baffled.
It felt wrong to you.
I didn't think it would work out well.
Why?
I wanted to keep the nature of football.
I would've tried to just make it funny.
But I think he would've done a great job.
Hyun Moo wouldn't have done well due to his voice.
Does he really sound like that?
(He sounds like he's eaten 100 potatoes.)
When did I ever do that?
"He scored a goal!"
He imitates Hyun Moo's mouth shape perfectly.
(He imitates Hyun Moo...)
(coughing and taking medications.)
(Hyun Moo would've taken medications during games.)
- Show us. - You're good.
- I have a bad throat. - Exactly.
- Hyun Moo, show us. - "Lee Young Pyo runs."
"Lee Young Pyo runs towards the goal post."
Lee Young Pyo kick the ball. Heading!
My goodness.
You would've been in trouble if you'd worked with him.
- The voice matters. - Of course, it does.
Among the commentators on three channels,
Young Pyo was expected to be the worst.
But he turned out to be the best.
What do you think makes you better than Jung Hwan?
- Me? - What are your strengths?
- Please be honest. - What are your strengths?
- Promote yourself here. - You're on KBS now.
They broadcast World Cup games, too. - Right.
It's a competition among broadcasting companies.
I like Jung Hwan's commentary.
What I like the most about his style is...
- the honesty and authenticity. - Right.
I think that's what makes his commentary impressive.
Jung Hwan's commentary is fun to listen to.
Young Pyo's... I mean, my dad...
(They became like a family.)
My dad commentates as if he were teaching.
(Young Pyo's commentary is like a lesson.)
- I understand what he means. - He explains so well.
- Young Pyo is charismatic. - That's right.
- He explains simply. - I like it fun, too.
Sports games are meant to be fun, so I like it fun.
However, it's possible to make the commentary fun...
only when our team is winning or it's a tie.
It's not fun when our team is losing.
When we're losing or the opponent scores a goal,
- it's not possible to make it fun. - That's right.
- He has a point.
I agree that we should make the game fun,
but I think we can make it fun...
while keeping the nature of football.
(That's my dad.)
You're thinking long term.
You can be funny when the team is winning, then.
Let's say that the commentary is fun...
in the first half because Korea is winning,
but if Korea ends up losing in the second half,
the commentary could suddenly become boring.
- It's hard to keep it fun. - I have to prevent it.
- It makes sense. - It's logical.
People on the internet think that...
Commentator Lee Young Pyo could be a fortune teller.
- I said that he's essential in this match. - Right.
The reason is simple.
The best player to break their defence is...
- Yes. - Lee Keun Ho.
Only 10 minutes later,
Lee Keun Ho scored the first goal.
Lee Young Pyo's prediction was right.
- Lee Keun Ho kicks the ball. - Shoot!
- It's a goal! - Goal!
- You said he'd pull it off. - What did I tell you?
You said Lee Keun Ho will pull it off.
Commentator Lee Young Pyo's prediction ability...
was covered by foreign media, as well.
It was reported that he earned a nickname "Octopus".
- Goal! - Goal!
- They did it! - Kim Shin Wook...
made the best use of his height.
- Lee Keun Ho. Goal! - Goal!
- He scored a goal! - Goal!
- Guys, good job. - Good job, everyone.
- It's an amazing thing to do. - The broadcast...
was ranked number one in ratings.
I just remembered that...
I'm going to be the commentator...
for this Olympics' football games, too.
- Is that so? - The KBS's mobile broadcasting...
application called "my K".
You'll compete against him.
We work for the same broadcasting company.
He'll physically be in the commentary box.
I'll be giving commentary while having fried chicken.
It will be different from his broadcast.
- Please show us a little. - Show us how you'll do.
Let's say our team just scored a goal.
- "Goal!" - "Keep going!"
(The Korean team scores a goal at a crucial moment.)
- "Goal!" - They scored a goal.
(They scored a goal.)
- "It was about time." - He's funny.
"They just went straight to the goal post."
That's how old men usually react watching it at home.
- "They scored a goal. It was about time." - Right.
"I thought they'd score a goal in the first half."
Then I have a sip of beer.
Heung Gook, I'm afraid you might get drunk...
and fall asleep even before the game ends.
It won't be a problem as the TV will still be on.
In the last Olympics,
- the Korean football team... - The result was...
won the bronze medal.
- How do you predict this time? - Will they do well?
I think...
He's not good at lying.
- He's good at predicting. - It's just that...
what people anticipate is different from...
- the objective prediction. - I understand.
If I predict from an objective viewpoint...
- Please go on. - Is the first game against Fiji?
- That's correct. - Do we have a chance to beat them?
- We do. - Exactly.
I think we can crush the Fiji team.
(Heung Gook makes a lame pun.)
- I think so, too. - Shall we erase his signature?
This contract is meaningless if...
- Then, I'll go home now. - Please don't.
You don't have to. I was just asking.
- I think I've done enough. - Please stay.
Okay.
- Please tell us your prediction. - Be objective.
To tell you my objective opinion,
Mexico won the gold medal last time.
- Mexico is a strong competitor. - And Germany...
- Germany... - The team is a front-runner.
- is obviously a strong team. - It won't be easy.
- That's why... - It won't be easy this time.
Let's say we defeat the Fiji team.
If Fiji loses three games,
we must defeat...
either Mexico or Germany.
- We have to defeat 1 of them. - Just 1 of them.
If you look at the Korean team's record,
when our team advanced to quarterfinals,
they had five points.
- I see. - I see.
Our team had five points twice.
But in 2000, we didn't make it...
to quarterfinals even with six points.
We failed with 2 wins and 1 loss.
- That's right. - I remember that.
Rather than getting 3 points with 1 win,
it's better to get 2 points with 2 ties...
to make it to the quarterfinals.
- We need two ties. - It's an accurate analysis.
Heung Gook, what is your prediction?
Do you think our team will win a medal?
I'm sure our team will be in the top three.
- The bronze medal? - We can win the bronze medal.
I'm positive.
If our team defeats the Fiji team,
- and tie the game against Germany, - Yes.
I think it's possible to advance to the quarterfinals.
- What if Mexico wins? - It doesn't matter...
because we'll tie the game against Germany.
- Do you agree? - No.
No.
I wish I hadn't heard Heung Gook.
- What if... - "I wish I hadn't heard Heung Gook."
(Why did we even ask Heung Gook?)
"I wish I hadn't heard Heung Gook."
Bye.
Please don't leave.
(Heung Gook wants to go home.)
I can't stay here.
- My goodness. - Please sit down.
- He simply said no. - I know you are...
- He's so firm. - a commentator for KBS.
- I'm a professional commentator, too. - He's funny.
Don't look down the mobile streaming.
It's still KBS. And everyone has a mobile device.
No one watches games on TV these days.
- It's the internet era. - Please calm down.
It was a mistake that they hired Young Pyo.
- That's not true. - They shouldn't have done it.
Sorry. I don't think...
that came out right. I meant that...
You make mistakes all the time.
I'm sorry, but Byung Chul looks so tired.
(What happened to Byung Chul?)
- Well, that's... - Why would he be tired?
- He's been really quiet. - He didn't say anything,
but he looks exhausted.
- As I was listening to Heung Gook, - Yes.
- I became dazed. - Why?
I don't know why, but...
- When I was talking... - I became like this.
You're dazed.
Earlier, Byung Chul whispered to me,
"Heung Gook really..."
"blurts out whatever is on his mind."
(He speaks thoughtlessly.)
So I said, "I haven't met him before, either."
I thought that he's very straightforward.
When I got to the studio,
I didn't believe Heung Gook is very popular these days.
I realised how funny he is through this show.
- He's really funny. - I see why he's popular.
- Indeed. - They're complimenting Heung Gook.
Byung Chul, it seems that...
you feel pressure to be funny on a variety show.
You have a habit of asking others...
- if you're funny on the show. - Really?
It's not like that. In fencing,
the results are determined solely by the referee.
Even if I perform an effective action,
I could lose if the referee says I lose. - I see.
So, I have to always argue that I'm right.
- I understand. - I see.
Naturally, I developed this habit.
I always need to confirm that I'm right.
In other words, I justify myself.
- I need assurance. - In everyday life?
- Yes. - Do you do that to your girlfriend, too?
You're right. I tend to do that to my girlfriend.
- Do you keep asking her if she loves you? - No.
- What do you say, then? - It's not like that.
I tell her that what I'm doing is a right thing to do.
When you're eating, do you ask others,
"I'm eating, right?"
- That's ridiculous. - "I'm eating, right?"
- "I'm chewing properly, right?" - That's ridiculous.
- "This is spicy pork, right?" - Is that what you do?
- "This is a nine-dollar dish, right?" - No.
Do you ask your girlfriend, "Did I kiss well?"
- Do you ask that to your girlfriend? - Do you?
I ask, "It was good, wasn't it?"
- Oh, I see. - Do you really ask that?
- You're always careful. - He must get excited...
- while giving commentary. - Yes. I can't help it.
He says, "He touched him."
"He touched him well."
- You actually say that, right? - Yes, I do.
- And we call it "sword". - I see.
So, I would say, "He touched him really well."
And other times, we say,
- "He stabbed him." - My goodness.
- Is that true? - My goodness.
- Isn't it inappropriate? - That's not appropriate.
- It's not like you're a cook. - People would be...
- shocked when you say that. - Stabbing?
Fencers use that expression...
to cheer each other.
- You wouldn't use it for commentary. I don't.
What would you say instead?
Many fencing terms are French.
- I see. - Are they French?
- We understand French. Don't worry. - I'm curious.
Tell us everything.
(Heung Gook makes another lame pun.)
- Another lame pun. - That was funny.
- He made a pun. - I think he's taking lessons.
I go to a school for puns.
(He gets top grades at the school for puns.)
- What's wrong? - Hold on a second.
People like the jokes Heung Gook makes, right?
- That's right. - People like his jokes.
Didn't you even research before this?
- You're surprised by that, aren't you? - Yes, I am.
It's not that people like all of his jokes.
- They don't like all of them. - Is that so?
- Hear selectively. - Right.
When he makes that kind of joke,
people still smile while thinking it's lame.
Do you enjoy watching that?
Maybe, he likes it when people hate his jokes.
You're so peculiar.
Some middle-aged men enjoy that reaction.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- You know? - Yes.
Young Pyo, have you ever heard...
that you look like an old man?
- No one has ever said that to me. - I see.
"You look like a middle-aged man."
Do people ever say you're old-fashioned?
I haven't heard anything like that before.
- Have you ever felt a generation gap? - No.
I think he's lying.
- He answered very fast. - He's lying.
I asked him to see if he's lying.
- When I ask this, - Yes.
The seniors say they don't feel a generation gap...
while the young people say they definitely feel it.
- That's how people react. - They never admit it.
- Exactly. - Right.
I feel a generation gap when I hear new words...
- on the internet. - I see.
- You don't understand them? - No.
Do you know what PP means?
(PP)
No, I don't. What does that mean?
- What is PP? - It stands for "profile picture".
Oh, I see.
- Do you know what TWH is? - Pardon?
- TWH. - It's an old expression.
- Oh, no. - What does it mean?
- He doesn't know. - "Tell me what I want to hear."
- Okay. - Do you know IF?
- Pardon? - IF.
- I don't think he knows that. - IF.
- Instagram Friend. - What's that?
- Incheon Friend. - Do you...
- Incheon Friend. - Incheon Friend?
Then, does BF stand for...
Bucheon Friend?
- That's so funny. - Don't you know I"?
You call a friend from Gangwon Province, GF.
How about UC?
People use this expression a lot.
- Unlikable Character? - That's correct.
- Good. - Wow.
- That's an easy one. - How about PPW?
- What? - PPW.
- I know what it means. - PPW.
- You all know what it means, right? - Yes.
- Take a guess. - You don't know, do you?
- PPW. - Take a guess.
The prettiest person...
(I think I know it.)
- In the world? - in the world.
- That's correct. - Is that correct?
Byung Chul, are you much older than your girlfriend?
- I'm six years older than her. - I see.
- That's not a big age gap. - That's right.
I assume you don't feel a generation gap.
I don't feel a generation gap often,
but I feel it when it comes to music preferences.
- They don't have a big age gap. - Why is that?
I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like idol groups.
- I see. - I like the songs from the 1970s and 1980s.
Like Bon Jovi's songs?
- Bon Jovi? - I really like Bon Jovi.
- I knew it. - I listen to his songs a lot.
I like this song.
It's my life.
- I like that song, too. - Shot through the heart
I like those kind of songs...
while my girlfriend likes electronic music genre.
- Like EDM? - Does she like EDM?
EDM?
Who is your favourite Korean singer?
Kim Kwang Suk.
- You like sentimental songs. - It's quite different.
I like songs that make me cry.
That's why you look so calm.
When I was in the national team, I often watched...
music programme like "I Am a Singer".
The junior athletes would leave me alone.
(Why?)
- I'd cry while watching the show. - I see.
- I get immersed in emotions. - They left you alone?
Yes. When I started crying,
- they left me alone in the room. - Really?
That's how I relieve stress.
(It's a unique way to appreciate old songs...)
(for a young man who acts like an old man.)
Is it true that you weren't as attentive as now?
- That's true. - Why?
Back then,
I was only focusing on fencing training.
The training always came first.
When my girlfriend asked me,
"What's more important to you?"
"Me or fencing?"
- What did you say? - I said fencing was important.
- Oh, dear. - She must've felt sad.
- Fencing was important for you. - But it was true.
I told her I was sorry, but that was the truth.
- How about now? - She's more important now.
How about fencing? What's fencing to you now?
I have to stop fencing soon.
(He has to retire soon.)
- You're unbelievable. - He's wise.
- That's how life goes.
Don't you agree?
- I agree with you. - Me, too.
- Is it the same for you? - Singing versus love.
Yes. Singing has been my everything.
I haven't had a girlfriend since I debuted.
- You're devoted to singing. - Yes.
- You are? - I'm devoted to singing and...
- to my fans. - Is that the only reason?
We will find out the reasons.
We can be the judge.
Perhaps no one asked you out.
- How about you, Hyun Moo? - I'm jealous.
I heard you're asked out a lot when you're a celebrity.
Yes. How is it for you, Eun Kwang?
- You shouldn't lie. - I've never got hit on.
Why not?
- But you're attractive. - I know.
I could've gotten hit on at least once.
- I'm sure you did. - Is there any girl...
from a girl group that you think is cute?
Recently, I thought...
- Gosh. - Tell us honestly.
- It's okay. - I thought Seul Gi...
- from Red Velvet is cute. - Red Velvet.
- Seul Gi. - Seul Gi!
You're wise.
- That's awesome. - Eun Kwang.
(Can we go out, Seul Gi?)
You are very wise.
(Heung Gook makes a lame pun.)
That's crazy.
Let's stop it now.
You're the boring one.
I'm doing just fine.
I once said I didn't know Myung Soo would be so funny.
Thank you.
- My friends said, - Yes.
"He's not very funny on TV."
- But... - He's got the talent...
to subtly offend you.
- That's not it. - I love it.
- He's got the talent.
- He poked the sore spot. - That's not it.
- He poked it. - He did.
It's true because he appears to be boring on TV.
(He keeps attacking Myung Soo.)
Actually, he's much better after the editing.
You're very precise.
I think he's much better during the shoot.
- He says Myung Soo's boring. - I said it...
- so that he would feel better. - He's right.
You said it so that he'll feel better?
(He plays innocent.)
You're laughing so loudly.
It's his first time laughing like that.
It's his first time laughing so hard.
Lee Chun Soo is the best football player.
(Myung Soo takes revenge.)
Young Pyo, I heard there's a girl group you like.
- Me? - Yes. Is it true?
I like S.E.S and Fin.K.L.
- That's too old. - That's too old.
You went too far. You sound old-fashioned.
These days? Among the new girl groups...
- You don't know any, do you? - Well...
- It's all right. Tell us. - Gugudan? Sonamoo?
(Heung Gook is up-to-date with girl groups.)
- He knows a lot. - He even knows Gugudan.
Brave Girls?
Dia?
Yes.
(Somehow...)
(he's so different from Young Pyo.)
I heard Jung Min analysed middle-aged men's fashion.
- What is it? - Middle-aged men's fashion.
There are many fashion accessories, right?
Middle-aged men have their favourites.
- What are those? - They like Bluetooth headphones.
Oh, the Bluetooth headphones.
They always put the car key on their belts.
- On the belt. - Many people do that.
They also like to turn up their collars.
- That's his fashion. - His collar's turned up.
(Here's one.)
I am sorry.
Were you talking about me?
No. I just saw it now.
Those collars are too small.
It once used to be a popular fashion style.
Lastly, they wear hiking trousers, which is okay.
The problem is that they wear fancy belts with it.
(They wear fancy belts with hiking trousers.)
- Hiking trousers and fancy belts. - Yes.
Jung Min talked about the middle-aged men's fashion.
Do you want to add anything to her opinion?
This is a particular behaviour they do.
- What is it? - They do this while walking.
(This is how they blow their nose.)
- I hate that. - Some of them do this.
- Who does that? - What's that?
All the female writers got shocked.
Recently, I saw a guy doing this.
"Gosh. It went all over my clothes."
- No! - He did that.
- Look.
That's nothing.
(He spits a lump.)
That's disgusting.
I'll tell you one.
What is it?
It's about how old men wear a dress shirt.
They tuck the shirt...
inside their underpants.
- No way. - Really?
They do that.
- They do that. - Right?
They don't like the shirt sticking out,
so they just tuck it into their underpants.
- That's right. - I can't believe it.
- I totally agree. - How could they...
- Am I wrong? - You're right.
- People do it. - There's no point of doing it.
Young people...
- When you go to a public bath, - There's nothing...
- you might see people's shirt... - wrong with that.
Sticking out of their underpants.
- It happens. - What's wrong?
- No way. - That's their way of dressing.
I'll show you how they put on a toner.
- A toner? - You will use that?
- When young people do it, - That's coffee.
They put some on their hands first.
Then they apply it. This is what old men do.
(They splash it onto their face.)
Who does that?
- It's true. - Who does that?
- He's right. - He's right.
- Who does that? - They don't do this.
You mean they splash it on their face.
They just splash it.
- This is what they really do. - They do that.
(They apply it all over their body.)
(Everyone agrees with it.)
- They use it for their whole body. - Right.
They even put it on their bottom.
This is what my friend does.
After applying it on his face, he moves on to...
these areas.
- Please stop. - That's too much.
- You should apologise. - Apologise.
- I have to apologise again? - The old men are...
I am sorry. I'll go home first.
- Seriously... - They do that because...
Not everyone does it though.
They think what they can use on their face...
- That's not it. - is safe for the whole body.
- It smells good. - The toner smells good.
- It's not a bad thing. - That's why they do it.
They don't want to waste it as well.
- They feel bad to waste it. - Indeed.
Young Pyo, you take shower all the time.
- Don't you agree with us? - You must have stories.
Some old men almost puke while brushing their teeth.
A lot of people do that.
There are lots of old men like that in my town.
How do they do it?
They do it like this.
(He almost chokes on a toothbrush.)
They do this.
That's nothing. There's a man who does this...
extremely fast.
How does he do?
While I was washing my hair, he was like this.
(He impersonates an old man brushing his teeth.)
(He brushes his teeth intensely.)
(It's almost like using an electric toothbrush.)
It's too much.
(It's insane.)
He was brushing his teeth so fast.
(I am the fastest.)
(Let's see who's faster.)
(I lost.)
Oh, dear.
That's nothing. This is something.
Gosh.
So...
Wait. Who makes that sound while brushing teeth?
(Screaming)
- I am serious. - Who does that?
No. It's true. I'm sorry.
(She got hit accidently.)
I am serious.
- I know what you mean. - Five hits per second?
(He makes a lot of foam, too.)
One of my foreigner friends...
saw Korean old men doing that.
(Old man)
(I am an old man.)
(Old man)
(I am an old man, too.)
You must've experienced other public bath cultures.
- I... - Did you find many differences?
Since I played in European teams,
I'll tell you about public baths in Europe.
In Europe, it's a mixed bathing system.
- Men and women use it together. - That's why you...
- It's mostly like that in Europe. - Yes.
- Almost all? - I went to a training in Austria.
There was a lady staying next to my hotel room.
The doors were so close that I sometimes...
ran into her, and we greeted each other.
After about two days, I ran into her in the sauna.
Oh, my gosh.
We went into different lockers,
but we met inside the bathhouse.
- You were both naked. - Yes.
- Really? - It was in the sauna.
We ran into each other.
- What happened? - It would've been fine...
if we didn't know, but we had greeted each other.
So when we ran into each other, it was embarrassing.
- Oh, dear. - Then I ran into her again...
the next day when I opened the door.
It felt a little different that time.
- How was it different? - What was the feeling?
- I felt embarrassed. - Right.
She didn't mind it at all, did she?
- She didn't mind it at all. - Right.
- Eun Kwang, - Yes.
I heard you're learning to act.
- Is that right? - I prepared to act...
Zo In Sung's role in "Something Happened in Bali".
- That's good. - I'll do a short part.
When are you free?
(His acting of this scene is legendary.)
- Go, Eun Kwang. - Give it a try.
("Something Happened in Happy Together")
(Lee Soo Jeong)
Hello?
Can I see you?
(He looks just like In Sung.)
- That's good. - He's good.
- He looks like he's really crying. - Yes.
(The viewer ratings point is going up.)
I am busy today.
(He did quite well, but it's funny.)
- I know what that is. - It's nice.
Eun Kwang is...
famous for his amazing singing ability.
- He's famous. - Yes.
He's unbelievably talented.
- He sings with his cheekbones. - Right.
- I sing with my cheekbones. - You do.
My cheekbones are unusually big.
- Is there a song you can sing for us? - Is there?
There's a song I want to sing. I sing this song...
to warm up my voice. It's "Tears" by So Chan Whee.
Really?
- I love that song. - You sing that to warm up?
It's a difficult song for a man.
(It won't be easy.)
(He gets ready to sing with his cheekbones.)
(I will be hurt)
(He sings with a nasal voice.)
(I want his cheekbones.)
(He reaches high notes quite easily.)
(Don't forget)
(My love)
(You are in me)
(He managed to sing such a difficult song.)
Bravo.
- He is really good. - You did it.
- He's really good. - He's amazing.
- He's unbelievable. - He could reach the high notes.
Heung Gook can sing four octaves, too.
- He's amazing. - I can just...
climb up the stairs.
(We give up now.)
That was funny.
- Since we brought it up, - Yes.
Let's do a test and see how old-fashioned we are.
- Let's do it. - It's going to be fun.
- We prepared it. - I will read the examples.
- Raise your hands if it applies to you. - Okay.
Please be honest.
- Okay. Here's the first one. - Please read it.
When you meet someone, you check his age first.
If he's younger, you immediately talk informally.
- Please be honest. - In 3, 2, 1.
Heung Gook, why don't you raise your hand?
- I'm not like that. - Really?
You just talk informally without checking the age.
Hey! When did I do that?
- Okay. - He spoke formally to me.
- Right? - Yes.
See?
He must've done that because you look old.
- He thought you were his age. - He thought so.
- He thought you were old. - He did look old.
It's not easy to speak informally to him.
- Next. - When you see someone successful,
you immediately look for his weaknesses and flaws.
(Myung Soo raised his hand.)
That's bad.
- Myung Soo. - Myung Soo raised his hand.
Everything's applied to you?
- I am old-fashioned, too. - He's really...
He's really honest. He's really like that.
He knows himself so well.
It's really bad to lie about yourself.
- Right. - He's answering honestly.
He admits it.
You're annoyed by younger people who show up late.
Let's check. In 3, 2, 1.
(Myung Soo and Heung Gook raised their hands.)
- Is it your special today? - Is it?
- Myung Soo. - Are we the old gits?
No.
I think you'd say something to them.
People are late sometimes.
- Are you sure? - I think they'd say something.
- I never. - Young Pyo, do you do that?
- I stayed in Korea until 2003. - Yes.
When I was in Korea, I was used to that culture.
But when you go abroad, age doesn't matter.
Right.
Ever since I went abroad, I changed completely.
You never scolded Chun Soo?
He was beyond the norm.
- He was beyond it? - He was.
(Chun Soo was like a foreigner all the time.)
I check the time, but I don't say anything.
- I don't... - That's not true.
Let's say the standby time is 9am.
When I'm running a little late, he calls me.
"Where are you, Hyun Moo? Where are you?"
That's even scarier.
He doesn't tell me to hurry up. He asks where I am.
- Why do you call me? - Myung Soo asks me to.
- You know what's even scarier? - What is it?
Do you know what my agent says?
He says, "We better hurry up. Jae Seok knows it all."
(Jae Seok knows everything.)
"Jae Seok knows why we are late."
(Then he gets back to his senses.)
And I tell my agent to hurry up.
It's true. Jae Seok even checks the security...
cameras installed near his house.
You keep mentioning about your connections.
Myung Soo should raise his hand.
(His love for famous people is consistent.)
Here you go.
My friends are G-Dragon and Zico.
- Chan Yeol. - IU.
- Right.
So you've never done that.
- You have to be honest. - Be honest.
- You've never done that? - I've never.
You've never bragged about knowing a celebrity?
Next. You think younger people have...
to be in charge of cooking when you eat a barbecue.
- That's a good one. - In 3, 2, 1.
- I don't agree with this. - Of course.
- I don't agree. - I don't either.
- Of course. - Why do you think that way?
- It's the younger people's job. - Can't you do it?
I did it when I was younger.
Yet you don't say anything when they are late?
I was late too when I was their age.
- That's the logic. - There's a guy like this.
He used to say, "I'm sorry, Jae Seok,"
"but I'm bad at cooking. I burn the meat all the time."
- Some people are bad at it. - Will you be all right?
- Don't you hate burnt meat? - It will taste bad.
- Even so... - Are you upset?
- He sounded upset. - He did.
- I would tell him. - Tell him what?
I'll tell him when to flip.
(He will train the person.)
- The meat... - He'll be your avatar.
I'll teach him to only flip it once.
Don't you have your own rules of grilling meat?
What if he asks you to do it yourself?
He might say that he's afraid of burning the meat.
I would ask for another tong, so we can do it together.
- He's persistent. - He won't give up easily.
Although we're just pretending, I feel suffocated.
(This guy is suffocating.)
How does the national football team do barbecue?
- What do you do? - When we do barbecue,
the younger people grill meat.
Does Chun Soo do the grilling, too?
Chun Soo is an exception.
(Chun Soo belongs to a different category.)
He's different.
Actually, it's hard to ask a successful one to grill...
- the meat even if he's younger. - He might pay.
- When that happens... - You should stay quiet.
Barbecues taste the best when someone else pays.
Are you in bad terms with Chun Soo?
- No, I like Chun Soo. - They're close.
He's just joking.
He's on television a lot these days.
Among all the players of the national football team,
he's the most tender-hearted person.
- He's tender-hearted. - Right.
- He is. - He's such a sweet man.
You should say that.
Not grilling meat...
- doesn't make him a bad person. - No.
- It's perfectly fine. - Right.
Let's say you two are having a barbecue.
Who would cook?
I would cook.
How about when you're with Jung Hwan?
When he's with a younger person, he doesn't cook.
When he's with an older person, he cooks.
- He's very precise. - Yes.
How about Jae Seok and Myung Soo? Who would cook?
- We... - Jae Seok and Myung Soo?
Jae Seok does it. We do it together most of the time.
- I usually cook. - I see.
He's older than me.
- Jae Seok grills the meat, too? - I grill the meat.
How much more does he need to look after you?
- They're very close. - At least...
he doesn't have to feed me.
(He manages to eat on his own.)
I no longer bother to hold a fart.
In 3, 2, 1.
(Heung Gook raises his hand.)
You're not supposed to hold it.
- Aren't you supposed to hold it? - Is that right?
- Eun Kwang is confused. - Eun Kwang?
- I don't hold it. - You're famous for farting.
Recently, I started to hold it.
- Why? - So many people blame me.
- Who did? - You should leave after farting.
What happened?
I was watching a movie with Seong Jae.
- I farted. And he got really upset. - Okay.
He put on a straight face and said,
"Why do you fart beside me?"
It must've been really bad.
I heard "Inner Farting" is a thing among idols.
"Inner farting".
- What? - It's like farting inside.
Oh, farting inside.
When you hold it for a long time, it explodes inside.
You fart inside. The gas can't escape.
Sometimes, it comes out as a burp.
The gas travels all the way.
When you hold it, it explodes inside.
This show is so disgusting.
- Young Pyo, don't you fart during a game? - Yes.
- You do. - You fart while playing football?
- Of course. - Of course he does.
- When you hold it... - Don't you just fire it?
(They can fart as loud as they want.)
What's next?
You keep emphasising that you were once successful.
- "I used to be..." - But you're all successful now.
- In 3, 2, 1. - In 3, 2, 1.
Anybody?
(Byung Chul and Heung Gook raised hands.)
Anybody?
(Byung Chul becomes more like an old man.)
(Young Pyo is still good.)
I didn't know, but whenever I drink,
I tend to talk about the old days.
- You do that too? - You talk about your past.
"Hey, when I was popular,"
"my song hit the nation."
But my friends complain.
They say, "Do you know how many times you've said it?"
Then I say, "Sorry."
I tell them it was my mistakes.
- But... - Byung Chul?
I'm not retired yet.
I'm planning to retire this year.
The younger athletes tell me...
that I should step down now.
- They say that? - You must feel bad.
They've seen me lose too many times these days.
Whenever they say that, I start...
- bragging about my past. - The gold medal.
I emphasise my achievements.
I say that I used to beat...
all the famous fencing athletes in the world.
I tell them that I beat those athletes.
- I realise that I was acting like that. - I see.
Young Pyo, don't you do that, too?
Don't you talk about the 2002 FIFA World Cup?
I talk a lot about the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
- That time... - You should've raised your hand.
- Is that right? - You should've.
- What do you say? - What do you say?
- To future football stars... - I don't say it to...
junior Korean football players. When I go abroad,
they always bring up the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
This is what I realised after talking to many people.
If I ask, "Where were you last August?"
They don't remember. However, if I ask,
"Where were you in June of 2002?" They remember.
Everyone was surprised by the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
When I want to share memories,
- I talk about year 2002. - Do you do this as well?
"When I was your age,"
- "I trained much harder." - Have you ever said that?
"I even sacrificed sleep to kick balls."
Have you ever told them...
His eyes look so scary.
(Why are you glaring at me?)
He must be thinking, "How dare you ask me that?"
He glared.
- My goodness. - The question is a bit...
- Is it a rude question? - Yes.
No, it's a good question.
- Really? - It's a good question.
I do not say that to younger athletes...
because I heard the same things myself.
When a senior athlete had told me the same thing,
I thought that he was talking of the bygone time.
If I see a junior athlete slacking off in practices,
I try to be understanding.
I tell him that I used to do the same.
Then I tell him how slacking off...
can lead to bad results.
It's more effective.
Have you seen Chun Soo giving advice...
to junior athletes?
These days, Chun Soo gives good advice.
(Chun Soo changed after he retired?)
It felt very refreshing...
- to see him do that. - How nice!
I did not expect that from him.
My goodness.
At this rate, we should give him an appearance fee.
(We should give him an appearance fee.)
- We talked about him. - We are on a tight budget.
- Really? - We are on a tight budget.
(We are sorry, Chun Soo.)
- Give us the next question. - All right.
When you speak,
your subordinates lower their heads or look away.
When you speak...
- They feel uncomfortable. - In 3, 2, 1.
What?
In 3, 2, 1.
(For the first time, he admitted being an old man.)
You never forget a subordinate who opposes my view.
I see.
- Wait a minute. - My goodness.
He hesitated for a second.
You often use expressions, "Back in our days..."
and "Don't ask questions and just do it."
Will Young Pyo raise his hand? He is thinking.
I used to think that way.
(He is an old man in every aspect.)
- Raise your hand. - You should raise your hand.
Byung Chul looks like he wants to raise his hand, too.
I can explain myself.
- We... - "We"?
- You formed a team. - It's "we" now.
I think we might be victims of structural issues...
in Korean sports circles.
- There is a specific culture. - That's right.
Before I left Korea in 2003,
I often used those expressions.
My thoughts changed after I left Korea.
The thoughts I had before 2003...
and the paradigm shift I had after that...
simultaneously exist within me.
I'm not sure which thoughts I should live by.
I recently met up with Koo Ja Cheol...
and had a conversation with him.
I could feel...
the dignity and confidence he possesses.
Seeing him made me think,
"I used to be like him when I was his age."
The image of Ja Cheol replayed in my head...
for a while after our conversation.
- I admire his confidence. - You call it confidence,
but you two had a conflict in opinions, right?
Otherwise, it would not have left an impression.
He said that Ja Cheol's image replayed in his head.
I bet he woke up from sleep thinking,
"That jerk is unbelievable."
"Koo Ja Cheol."
"Koo Ja Cheol!"
"Koo Ja Cheol."
Perhaps it was like that.
I was in the national team with Ja Cheol...
before I retired.
Back then, when I said something,
(When Young Pyo said something, )
no one opposed to my words.
Everyone just said "Yes" to me.
- How have things changed? - Things are different...
now that I have retired.
When we share opinions now...
- You are upset. - No, I am not.
You are clearly upset.
- I can see it in your eyes. - Don't cry.
- I am experiencing that now. - Really?
My goodness.
It's understandable.
Before I retired, people did not object to my words...
even if they disagreed.
When a junior athlete opposed me for the first time,
it was very memorable.
(It was very memorable.)
(He tries to play cool.)
All right.
He became teary-eyed.
When I talk to junior athletes,
I do not talk about everyday matters.
I often tell them that...
they need to change their ways.
- When I do that, - They look away, right?
They lower their heads.
They don't want to listen to you.
Well...
Even if what you are saying is right,
they don't want to hear it.
In the London Olympics,
- Koo Ja Cheol did an amazing job. - That's right.
He asked, "Why?" about 10 times.
- "Why?" - "Why?"
He blocks it with a tackle.
The referee gave Koo Ja Cheol...
(His "Why" showed his confidence.)
a warning.
He didn't raise his hand earlier, but...
I think Young Pyo should have raised his hand...
with "You often talk about your ties with celebrities."
He keeps bringing up Lee Chun Soo and Koo Ja Cheol.
You didn't raise your hand when you should have.
- It seems that way. - I apologise.
(He remains cool.)
- I have a question for you. - Okay.
Sometimes, you say,
- "I want to punch you in the face." - That's right.
- Do you mean that? - You asked me to do it.
"Punch me if you want. It will cost you 3,000 dollars."
My goodness.
We really thought about doing it.
When I said punching me will cost 8,000 dollars,
Haha started a fundraising.
(Haha started a fundraising.)
He really wanted to punch me.
I said, "I was only joking. Don't do that."
- May I punch you for 300 dollars? - No.
Let me punch you for 600 dollars.
- What? - Give me 600 dollars. I can take a punch.
What are you talking about?
- Let's hear the next question. - All right.
After giving advice to a junior colleague,
you feel proud of yourself.
Will he raise his hand?
- Let's see. In 3, 2, 1. - In 3, 2, 1.
(Byung Chul and Myung Soo)
Raise your hand, Young Pyo.
All right.
You gave a wise saying about World Cups.
"You don't participate in World Cups..."
to gain experience."
"It's where you prove yourself."
His heartfelt advice to the junior athletes...
became the best saying of the year.
You don't participate in World Cup to gain experience.
It's where you prove yourself.
- You left a saying. - After you said that,
did you happen to be like...
(Did his heart swell with pride?)
"I'm really cool."
Do you get impressed with yourself?
"I can't believe those words came from me."
Let me tell you what happened after I said those words.
Back then,
sports commentators including Ahn Jung Hwan and I...
had a meal after I said those words.
I felt a bit bad.
I had to say it as a sports commentator.
Personally, I felt bad...
for the junior athletes.
Jung Hwan was sitting in front of me.
I told him, "My heart is heavy."
- Then Jung Hwan replied. - What did he say?
"You are the one who sent them here."
He jokingly said that.
Even if the words had to be said,
they are still your junior colleagues.
- That's right. - It's understandable...
that your heart felt heavy.
- My heart felt heavy. - I see.
(Young Pyo felt bad for his words.)
Jae Seok gives advice to Hyun Moo.
- He often does. - I know because I am close to them.
He says, "Hyun Moo, you are on a lot of programmes."
"You shouldn't take on so many jobs."
"Enjoy your life." Then Hyun Moo gets touched...
and says, "I understand." The next day,
I will see an article about Hyun Moo's new programme.
(Hyun Moo is the host of the new programme.)
- Heung Gook gives me a lot of advice. - I see.
He texts me because he wakes up early in the morning.
- I would get a text at 7:30am. - What does it say?
- "Be humble." - It's a simple advice.
The next day, I would get, "Lower your head."
It sounds like a spam message.
The next day...
It sounds like a spam message.
I would get a photo of his daughter. "She is my hope."
Then the next day,
it would be "Buy a building."
"Buy a building."
"Did you film a commercial by yourself?"
It's all over the place.
Does Nam Jin text you?
"Be humble."
Does he tell you to be humble?
He used to be a president of Korea Singers Association.
What advice do your senior singers give you?
Since I am the president of Korea Singers Association,
they tell me to become the best president I can be.
Heung Gook says that, but this is what he said...
after making me sit next to him.
"Why do you work so hard?"
I said, "Because I enjoy my work." Then he said,
"You must be happy. Work so that you can be happy."
He put emphasis on my happiness.
An abundance of work does not lead to happiness.
Aren't you in a lot of programmes?
You said you will make the most of your popularity.
That's right.
- You must get the right timing. - You are popular.
That's right. My popularity keeps me awake at night.
- I see. - You fly the kite when there is wind.
(You fly the kite when there is wind.)
You said, "You fly the kite when there is wind."
Your own words contradict each other.
Contrary to his advice, he takes on a lot of jobs.
What about you, Byung Chul?
Excuse me.
This part will be edited out if you stop now.
No, this part will be aired.
- It was funny. - It was funny.
Fencing is an individual sport.
That's right.
When the best fencers in the country...
gather for the Olympics,
your own teammates end up being your opponents.
- They are your rivals. - It's not like football.
That's why fencers hide their talents.
I tend to be open about my talents.
It makes me think,
"I am a man of great calibre."
(He is shameless in his boasting.)
I have goosebumps.
- Unbelievable! - "I am a man of great calibre."
Do my words really give you goosebumps?
You talked like a chef who is proud of his naengmyeon.
(Byung Chul's naengmyeon is served in big bowls.)
(I am a man of great calibre.)
Heung Gook said yes to 8, Myung Soo, 7...
and Young Pyo, six.
Do I get a penalty for being an old git?
Byung Chul got six.
- That's not that many. - No.
Does your daughter complain about you being an old man?
- My wife and daughter are in Korea now... - Really?
Since my daughter's on summer break.
She grew up a lot. She is in high school now.
- She is 170cm tall. - Really?
- She is tall. - Her mum must be tall.
My moustache recently started turning white.
She said, "Are you really my dad? You became old."
- It has been a while. - She said her heart aches.
She told me to take good care of my health.
- She is right. - She grew up.
She's a good girl and I am grateful.
Last time she was on Happy Together,
Jung Min made Sae Ho's face look slimmer...
- with makeup. - It was amazing.
Many people asked me if I lost weight or if I'm ill.
My mother was so startled.
"What happened?"
- I told her that it's makeup. - She used makeup...
to make his face look slimmer.
She will work her magic on Heung Gook today.
Your daughter mentioned your white moustache.
Can you fix that?
- Of course I can. - Can you make it dark again?
I can make it dark again.
- It will make you look younger. - Really?
Jung Min is an expert. She's in many beauty programmes.
- That's right. - Let's give it a go.
(In 3 minutes, she'll make you look 30 years younger.)
- I will work on his moustache first. - Okay.
I recommend using a mascara...
with a fine comb. With this,
comb the moustache.
(Comb the moustache with a mascara.)
(It makes him look manlier.)
- The effect is instant. - It's turning dark.
- Comb with the grain.
Then go against the grain once.
- Comb it upwards. - So it's applied well.
Doing so will apply the mascara more evenly.
He looks nice.
- One side is done. - Let's see it.
He looks nice.
- He looks manly. - He does.
- Do you have a mirror? - No, I don't.
How do you not carry anything?
(How do you not carry anything?)
- This is how you do it. - Do the other side.
- Take off your glasses. - We need before and after.
- I can do the sideburns.
- Sideburns? - His sideburns show under the hat.
- That's right. - I can make them darker.
His sideburns will look neater with mascara.
It does look neat.
It will come off easily with shampoo.
(Heung Gook becomes younger with a Kohl pencil.)
It looks natural.
He likes manly looks.
I do like it.
He is cute.
- Take a look. - This is nice.
Compare the two sides.
- It's nice. - It is, right?
I knew you'd like it.
- Do his eyebrows. - Comb your brows with a mascara.
I am sure your brows used to be thicker.
- That's right. - They were.
Wait, that looks funny.
That looks funny?
- My goodness. - "Wait, that looks funny."
Why would you do this to me?
I think it's smudged.
He looks like Angry Bird.
It's a perfect look for a variety show.
- It looks great. - That's right.
- Turn your face. - He looks like Angry Bird.
(He is annoyed.)
You are an amateur, aren't you?
He is like any other father. He complains a lot.
- You are right. - I am a father.
He looks much younger.
He looks like his younger self.
- You look much younger. - Really?
His eyebrows look okay.
- It's nice. - It is, right?
I knew you would like it.
Let's change the tapes.
Thank goodness.
Gosh, I am tired.
(Waiting room, Kim Heung Gook)
All right.
(He is stretching to wake up.)
(Every father in the world is tired.)
I need to keep my words. I signed a contract.
Looking at a photo of my daughter energises me.
I will do my best until the end.
(The shooting resumes.)
You are well-known for being a self-made man.
You started when you had nothing...
and made it to the national team.
I heard that you went through many struggles.
(Young Pyo was the best fullback in Korea.)
(There are stories behind his success.)
When I first joined...
the national team for the Olympics,
I was not a regular member, but a test member.
I was a test member.
Back then, Huh Jung Moo was in charge...
of both the national team and the Olympics team.
We had a practice match against university students.
- What happened? - We lost 1 to 0...
because of me.
- What happened? - My mistake helped them...
score a goal.
- I was a test member. - It must be unforgettable.
I thought my life as a football player was over.
I couldn't help but think that way.
The coach explained the strategy in the half-time,
but the words did not register.
- You thought you were done. - I thought I was over.
Other players entered the field in the second half,
but I remained sitting without thinking.
Coach Huh said, "Why are you not going in?"
- Really? - I thought I would be switched out,
but he gave me another chance.
(Huh Jung Moo gave him another chance.)
I still remember the moment clearly.
When I ran back into the field,
I felt as if every cell in my body was revived.
I went in there...
and gave a completely different play.
I scored a goal,
but scoring a goal wasn't even important to me.
A chance that was given in the moment of despair...
touched me greatly.
- After the game, - This is like a drama.
Coach Huh Jung Moo told me this.
"You have everything you need."
He gave me a message of hope.
His words left an impression.
I became a member of the national team a week later.
Your coach's words changed you.
Not even your family knew you were chosen.
They found out from reading a newspaper.
That happened when I was chosen for the Olympics.
The happiest moment in my career...
was when I joined the national team.
What I told you was when I was chosen for the Olympics.
I got a call one Sunday morning.
It was a call from Jung Hae Seong,
one of the coaches of the national team at the time.
He said, "You are in the national team..."
"Don't tell anyone and join the team on Monday."
Upon hearing that,
I teared up.
- Didn't you expect it? - I did not expect it at all.
I was in university at that time.
It was hard for a student to join the national team.
I realised that my dream had come true.
I was with my sister,
but I didn't tell her anything...
because the coach instructed me not to.
I didn't even tell her anything.
I lived in Anyang back then, so I took a bus home.
In the bus,
I looked outside the window.
I thought to myself,
"Has the world always been this beautiful?"
- I had that thought. - You have those moments.
On my way home,
- everything looked beautiful. - I understand.
- It's understandable. - Even the trash on streets...
looked beautiful.
I thought, "Has the world always been this beautiful?"
I can understand that.
It was his dream.
(If the past 10 years of effort has brought me here, )
(where I'd be standing in 10 years...)
(will depend on what I do today.)
("Where will you be standing 10 years down the road?")
You have a signature move.
- The fake dribble. - When did you start doing it?
I started doing it since middle school.
Is it something only you can do?
- Anyone can do it. - Many players do it.
While anyone can do it, you have to remember this.
No one can take the ball away from you...
if you master the move.
Unless you make a mistake,
you will win 100 times out of 100 with it.
When you master a move,
it comes out in the most unexpected situations.
It comes out when you're not even thinking about it.
You might get out of a crisis with a dribble...
and not remember it.
You neither judged nor thought of the situation,
but your body reacts.
This is what you call a signature move.
Young Pyo and Jae Seok have something in common.
What is it?
They keep their eyes on the road ahead of them.
They are not interested in other jobs.
- Are you like that? - He focuses on programmes.
I am not interested in anything other than football.
I think he should run a travel agency.
- Why? - His name sounds like "Ticket" in Korean.
Young Pyo's airplane tickets.
Isn't it hilarious?
"Let me help you with the boarding procedures."
- You should sell bottled water. - Why?
Your name sounds like "Water" in Korean.
In that case, you should sell stone statues.
- Hyun Moo should sell radishes. - He can...
He can find something else, too.
Why don't you open a football academy?
- I am thinking about it. - You like the idea.
- It's related to football. - It's your field.
It's inside the boundaries of football.
This is what I believe about football.
The team with the good passes wins.
- That's right. - In football,
if you hold on to the ball in a football game,
everyone's attention focuses on you.
The 22 players, tens of thousands of spectators...
and cameras focus on the ball.
Keeping the ball to yourself is fun...
and thrilling because you're in the spotlight.
It makes you want to do something to show off.
- It's understandable. - If you do that,
you will shine and receive attention.
However, your team will suffer...
since you will miss the timing to make a pass.
A pass is an act of sharing.
It's an act of sharing the attention...
with your fellow players.
The team that shares more,
will win and shine.
The parents who spend money on a football academy...
would want their children to shine.
I understand that your philosophy's very nice.
"Why is my child not getting the ball?"
"Why wouldn't that kid pass the ball to my child?"
This is what I learned from football.
In order to win,
you must first learn how to lose.
The person who has lost a lot knows how to win.
That's right.
That's very you.
It's better to lose as a child and win as an adult.
If it's the other way around,
it would be harder.
The match you commentated on...
always got the best viewer ratings.
It must put a lot of pressure on you.
I am sure you want to remain on the top.
To be honest, I don't feel that way.
If the match doesn't get the best viewer ratings,
it's a problem for the broadcasting station, not us.
It's not really a problem for the commentators.
That's a dangerous claim.
- My goodness. - You think it's only KBS' problem?
I have pondered on the matter once.
I didn't become a sports commentator to feel pressured.
I cannot control the viewer ratings.
I decided to do the best in what I can do...
and not to worry about what I cannot control.
The two of you will commentate for the Rio Olympics.
Please say a few words of determination.
Byung Chul, you can go first.
This is my fourth time joining the Olympics.
I will be joining as a sports commentator.
Since this will be my debut performance,
I hope you would send me your support.
- I will do my best. - Good luck.
I will be sure to watch the games.
It's your turn, Young Pyo.
In seven hours,
the football match will begin.
It will be Korea versus Fiji.
Korea is expected to win by scoring...
3 or 5 more goals than Fiji.
I hope you will watch the game.
(Watch Korea versus Fiji on KBS.)
I would like to thank the guests for joining us today.
I am impressed that Heung Gook stayed until the end.
- I know. - It's amazing.
(The contract forbade him to leave early.)
(It will go down in history.)
I could see that his eyes were closed.
- Can you see my eyes? - Yes.
- Really? - I can see from the sides.
- Really? - It's very obvious.
He is very tired.
Thank you for joining us.
We will be back next week.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Look forward to next week's episode.)
