(Gook Jin talks about his love story.)
(Seol Hyun's man Zico gets attacked by the hosts.)
(He took action immediately but it wasn't enough.)
He can only think about his girlfriend right now.
(The hosts investigate the suspicions surrounding Simon D.)
(We will deliver the hottest news...)
(of the hottest stars.)
Gook Jin.
He's overdoing it again.
Is this Suzy your Susie?
- It's too much. - No, she's not.
Gook Jin,
is she your Susie? By the way,
- who is this? - Do you know who this is?
- She called her Susie. - She's Aung San Suu Kyi.
Is this authority figure your Susie?
No, she's not.
Then...
He's dying.
Is this Susie your Susie?
You shouldn't do that with your injured vocal cords.
Yes. That Susie is my Susie.
I told you that I'd take care of myself.
(He can't hide his smile.)
Yes. Everyone should love like me.
You are watching a high-end music programme,
Radio Star.
Finally, on Radio Star, there's a happy occasion...
we never thought we'd have.
It's not Kyu Hyun.
It's Gook Jin who's in love. It's not even Gu Ra.
- Right. - I'm sorry, Kyu Hyun.
I told you. I told you he was strange.
But Gu Ra told me not to talk nonsense!
- He was totally against it. - It looks like...
- No. No. - When it comes to love,
he's numb.
It's like this, you see.
- Like what? - Like what?
I tried to set Gook Jin up...
with Hwang Young Hee and Hwang Seok Jeong.
But it didn't help at all.
You didn't know what he really wants.
Starting today, I will not interfere...
with Gook Jin's love life.
I'll leave him alone and find another prey.
But it's true. He doesn't need to talk about it any more.
He didn't tell us about his relationship with her.
Of course, we didn't really take interest, but...
We were interested.
But he kept telling us to stop talking nonsense.
- He stopped us. - He kept saying, "Truth is..."
- No. That's not it. - He's so slow.
Gook Jin said it wasn't true, so I believed him.
- What else could I have done? - Gu Ra,
- I wasn't dating her then. - Were you sad he didn't tell you?
No. That's not it.
- That's not it. - Are you sad he didn't tell you?
- We're under the same agency. - Are you sad?
No. I'm not interested in other people's love stories.
I'm serious. What can I do...
if the person is not willing to talk about his love life?
- Are you talking about one person? - No.
Are you talking about someone who's here?
(He looks away.)
- What is that really? - Let's be happy for Gook Jin.
How did it start?
Hey. Why would you ask him that question?
You don't talk about it either. You don't talk about yours.
- How can I? I don't have one. - You don't talk about it either.
- Am I Sae Ho or what? - You don't even talk about a kiss.
(Kyu Hyun won't even talk about his first kiss.)
You have no right to ask him questions.
He has a lump on his vocal cords.
- Don't upset him. - I'm rather interested...
- He talks well. - in Kyu Hyun's health.
- What's up with your vocal cords? - I'm interested in your health.
- Let's talk about you. - So how did it happen?
We were working together as partners in the show.
When the weather became a little colder...
So it happened last year.
- Was it last year? - Yes.
- Did I not mention that? - He mentioned the weather.
When it became a little colder... It must've been last year.
Passing by a place, I saw this writing.
"It's an amazing thing for someone to come to you..."
"because that person's life comes with the person."
I saw that writing.
Her life comes with her and we...
What am I talking about here?
- It's a special thing. - I love it.
So I thought hard.
When I saw her when she was younger,
she sang the song "Violet Fragrance".
She used to wear a violet coat all the time.
One day, I smelt her violet fragrance.
(It's cheesy.)
He prepared it.
- He prepared it. - This is why I don't ask.
- Edit this out. - He says conventional things.
He prepared it.
This is what I'm going to say.
- This is why I don't ask him. - I saw violet colours at first,
- That's not it. - But I soon smelt her scent.
(He's embarrassed.)
You weren't together when she was here last May?
- No. We weren't. - You weren't then?
- That's before "Flaming Youth". - No. That was during the show.
He's acting like a gatecrasher today.
(It's because I feel offended that he didn't tell me.)
It's funny.
How long have you been going out?
- How many days has it been? - I'll tell her to come.
- I'll tell her to come here. - Here? To Radio Star?
You can ask her then.
It's useless if you say everything in "Flaming Youth" and come here.
We don't talk much there. We just cook food.
(See you on Radio Star.)
Today, we have the hottest celebrities...
who make the news everywhere they go.
This special is called "Hot, Hot".
- "Hot, Hot". - Special.
This person used to criticise "Show Me the Money"...
because he earns good money.
But recently, he went on "Show Me the Money" voluntarily...
and topped seven music charts with the winner BewhY's help.
No matter how popular he is now, what we still want to know is the...
- story with Lady Jane, his ex... - Stop it.
Stop talking about Lady Jane now.
- They broke up a long time ago. - Now...
(He laughs.)
He's the hottest rapper.
Simon Dominic, also known as Simon D.
This person has also become popular because of BewhY.
Both of them are benefitting from BewhY.
(We can't admit that.)
His songs are on music charts all year round.
He's a very popular producer,
but still nobody knows him.
He's a Nam Joo Hyuk look-alike. He is Gray.
This summer,
this person was hotter than the outdoor fan of an AC.
He's 2016's hottest rapper and producer.
But these days, whenever his name is on the news,
it's either because of heart attack or he just walks like a cat.
Both his work and his love life are hot.
I've never seen another MC who's so bad at reading a script.
- Don't give him lines like that. - He can't do it.
Do you know why? I'm intentionally making it boring.
- Stop it. - I'm intentionally doing this.
- Is it because it's hot in here? - He's the boring MC.
We have one female guest today.
She's very hot, hot.
On "Squad 38", she acted as the sexy con artist Jo Mi Joo,
and her name made the news every week.
She can act, sing and dance.
She's good at everything. Please welcome, Lee Sun Bin.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
It took long to introduce them.
- I know. - They waited for 30 minutes.
I'm sorry.
- You waited long. - We had to talk about something.
We had to talk about Gook Jin's love story.
You have to understand...
since this will be his last open relationship before he dies.
Aren't I right? Will you date more people?
- You're right. - Yes. I'm right.
Simon D, you are very popular these days.
But when you came here, you found out that...
there's an even more popular person, Zico.
I heard you thought hard about what you should do to stand out.
I feel sorry.
You shine less next to him.
I'm the one known for making my relationship public.
I can't believe Zico beat me on this.
By the way, it's been a while since you broke up with that girl.
- You're bringing it up again. - I'm bringing it up because...
- He brought it up again. - I called her "that girl".
- I called her "that girl". – What difference does it make?
It's been quite a while since you broke up with her.
Did you date people secretly...
or did you not find anyone you like?
- I dated several people. - He secretly dated.
But you haven't gone public.
Will you never go public?
I won't.
But in the hip hop scene, isn't going public a thing?
MC Gree has gone public.
I've done it once.
- Everyone has different ideas. - Yes.
Some people want to go public, and some people don't.
At the time, everyone already knew about us,
so I couldn't hide it any more.
I should've hidden it.
What advice would you give to Gook Jin...
who just went public with his girlfriend?
- To me? - He's done it first.
Make sure it's your last time.
- Seriously. - It's a heartfelt advice.
He's practical.
- Make sure it's your last time. - That's a very good advice.
Simon D...
- Thank you. - Think of it as the last time.
Is there anything you want to say to Zico?
Zico... I envy you.
(He's embarrassed.)
Why are you so embarrassed today?
He dyed his hair black, and he looks very calm now.
I wanted to look like a good boy.
- I want to make good impression. - Are you trying to hide?
No. That's not it.
I wanted to be invisible.
- I made them get black hair, too. - We're dressed like good boys.
(The hyenas are looking for their prey.)
Zico, you had no reason to be on Radio Star.
You said you'd come because you're close to the other two.
But the news broke out, and now you're regretting it a lot.
That happened to Hani, too.
Hani's news broke out after we cast her.
Perhaps there's a close relationship with this show and media?
I know.
EXID's Honey... I mean Hani...
Honey.
- Are you Jang Hoon? - He's speaking with an accent.
- Honey.
Are you Kim Jang Hoon?
Honey.
I didn't do anything on the first half.
And suddenly they got me.
So I thought Radio Star...
- and I have a friendship. - You thought we were loyal.
- But then... - That happened.
- It happened suddenly. - By the way,
Zico did something unusual before the shoot.
I went on a family trip,
and I was taking a walk with my children. Then Zico texted.
"Jong Shin." I was surprised that he sent me a text message.
I was wondering why he did.
I thought he was going to tell me he will be on "Monthly Yoon Jong Shin".
I was so excited, and I texted him back.
He said that he'll be on Radio Star.
He was telling me about all of his concerns.
Don't look for it.
I have the messages.
- He got in touch with me, too. - Did he talk to you, too?
"You know, right?"
I said, "Know what?"
He was very worried.
Actually, I thought about calling Dong Hyun, too.
- You didn't, did you? - No.
Don't do it.
He's not interested. He only cares about his girlfriend.
(He's another lover.)
When the news first broke out, did you not see it coming at all?
- Of course, he didn't. - Sometimes, they contact you.
They tell you that they will be releasing the article.
Of course,
I found out about it from my acquaintances.
They told me we were caught.
- Before the news got out? - Yes.
- So we thought... - You thought it...
- would come out sometime. - Yes. I had that in mind.
But I never knew it would come out that abruptly.
But even before, I got a lot of calls...
from people I don't even know.
They were asking about my relationship to Seol Hyun.
- So I didn't mind it much. - You knew it was going to be out.
How was it when you saw the article?
I was really flustered.
I had just arrived in Japan.
When I was sleeping, I got a call from my agency.
They said, "There's an article about you."
I was really shocked when I saw the article.
This is what I think.
There are many news about a lot of people.
- And most of them are bad news. - We think like that.
- Right. - But relationship news...
are like much-needed rain in times of drought.
- There are too many bad news. - There are many bad news.
- There are too many. - There are far too many.
I didn't have any opinions on Seol Hyun.
When I saw her running pictures, I started liking her.
- She looked... - Then date a runner.
They run every day.
(They run all the time.)
What characteristics of Seol Hyun made your heart flutter?
It wasn't about characteristics I can pinpoint.
We started as fellow artists who knew each other.
We then started to contact each other.
There was no particular reason.
We just developed a friendship and began to meet up.
- Then our relationship progressed. - You exchanged messages.
- Yes. - That's usually how it goes.
The story is making my heart flutter.
You can tell from the messages if the person likes you or not.
A good indicator...
is when a person reads messages right away.
It tells you if the person has feelings for you.
(It tells you if the person has feelings for you.)
(He's embarrassed.)
You read the messages late when you play hard to get.
- Did you play hard to get? - What?
Did you play hard to get?
I don't usually do that.
- You read the messages right away. - What?
You read the messages right away, right?
I couldn't read them during work. I read them after work.
You read them after work.
Simon D is helping.
Simon D is helping a lot.
- Who am I helping? - Us.
Really? I am sorry.
(He doesn't even care any more.)
Compared to how he usually talks,
I can tell that Zico is being very cautious today.
- Yes. - Is there a reason for that?
It's natural to be cautious.
He's being considerate of other person.
A publicised relationship is harder on the woman.
You need to think about what might come in the future.
I think it is right to be cautious in every way.
- You need to be considerate. - Yes.
That's all the questions we have about Seol Hyun.
(That's all the questions we have about Seol Hyun.)
Shall we get started?
(His energy is renewed.)
Simon D, you recently revealed...
how you play hard to get in exchanging messages.
- What are your techniques? - Tell us.
They are not much of techniques.
This is what I do.
I send cold messages.
When they send, "What are you doing now?"
"Not much."
My messages show my personality.
"Tell me." "You don't need to know."
I stay cool and distant at first.
I send my replies late, too.
Then she asks, "What will you do?" "I'll think about you."
That's what I do.
That's interesting.
That's how I normally text.
"I am not doing much. I ate."
That's how I normally am. It makes women curiouser.
Even though you text like that,
- she might not be interested. - You have no way of knowing.
Only you think that way.
They think it is, "I am not doing much."
"I am not doing much."
(He acts cute.)
You can do this instead.
- "I am not doing much. LOL." - I don't use slangs often,
but I do occasionally use it for women I like.
- "Okie dokie." - What?
"I understood. LOL." That's what I write
I use slang word when it is necessary.
- "What are you up to? LOL." - "What are you up to? LOL."
I add LOL at the end.
"Guess what Zico is doing."
Don't refer to yourself in third person.
- He always does that. - My goodness.
- He always does that. - "Zico is at home."
- I hate that. - "Zico is at home. Zico is sad."
For goodness' sake.
- I do that often. - I like it.
- "Zico is at home." - You should use it often.
I will take care of it.
(Gook Jin says that all the time.)
Don't you exchange text messages often...
- with Susie? - We do.
Do you send, "Did you eat? LOL."
I don't do that.
In that case, do you say, "Have you had sustenance?"
"What are you up to?" "Measuring my blood pressure."
(The messages middle-aged people exchange)
"What are you up to?" "I'm measuring my blood sugar."
- "Have you taken your medicine?" - Don't do that.
- "Have you taken your medicine?" - "I'm checking my reflexes."
(Being healthy is the best.)
Gray,
you work on a lot of songs for your agency, AOMG.
You make the most amount of money from copyrights.
I do make the most amount of money from copyrights.
- What about Dok2? - His income from copyrights?
- No. Who owns more jewellery? - Jewellery.
- Dok2 does. - I bet he does.
- Who has a better car? - Dok2 has a lot of jewellery.
- Car? - Gray is not interested in cars.
- I am not interested in cars. - I knew it.
Are you better than Dok2 in any way?
- My goodness. - What kind of a question is that?
- Well, I am sure... - This is hip hop style.
I guess I'm better than Dok2 in some ways.
- He is confident. - I am a great composer.
Dok2 said to me...
that I have amazing skills in arranging songs.
It used to be that...
- Gray was not very close to Dok2. - That's right.
They didn't follow each other on social media.
When you posted a photo of your gold watch on social media,
Dok2 surprised you with an immediate call.
I knew for a fact that he didn't follow me on social media.
Within a minute of posting the photo,
he texted, "Congratulations on buying a watch."
- That's cute. - It made me happy.
I thought, "Does he approve of me now?"
(Gray felt proud.)
He limits the number of people he follows to 111.
It's because the name of his agency is Illionaire Records.
- He takes number one seriously. - Like 11:11pm.
Even though he congratulated Gray via a text message,
- Dok2 didn't follow his account. - No, he didn't.
I told Dok2 that Gray feels a bit sad about it.
- I wrote many songs for him. - That's right.
He still didn't follow Gray. That's why I talked to Gray.
He limits the number of people he follows to 111.
- He had to unfollow someone. - Whom did he unfollow?
He went through the list to find someone to unfollow.
- He had to unfollow someone. - He should have unfollowed you.
- Me? - Yes.
Dok2 and I were friends ever since we were little.
- We went through the list. - He keeps the number at 111.
Do you know who Soulja Boy is?
- Soulja Boy. - No. It was Rich Homie Quan.
He unfollowed a rapper he likes,
Rich Homie Quan, to follow Gray.
There are too many names I don't know.
(Don't you know who we are?)
This is Sun Bin's first time...
on a variety show. Are you close friends with Kang Nam?
- Really? - That's right.
I recently had a shoot...
- for "The Law of Jungle". - You had a shoot with Kang Nam.
Yes, Kang Nam and I went together.
I see.
Did Kang Nam give you a text regarding today's shoot?
When I told him that I am nervous about the shoot,
he gave me some tips.
- What did he say? - He told me not to worry...
since Gu Ra is nice to pretty women.
That's what he said.
Why are you avoiding eye contact?
(Gu Ra is cold-hearted.)
- Put yourself at ease. - Okay.
Your life won't change with the first variety show.
For that, you need to be doused with water like Park Na Rae.
(She turned her life around by getting slapped with water.)
There is only one female celebrity who managed to be funny...
- on her first appearance. - Who?
- That woman. - Who?
- Cao Lu? - No.
- I see. - Lady Jane?
Yes.
He's mentioning her again.
(Simon D cannot break free.)
Simon D and Zico,
while you did not know what Sun Bin looks like,
you had heard of her real name, Lee Jin Kyung.
- That's right. - I have heard of her a lot.
- Jin Kyung. - Lee Jin Kyung is her real name.
How did you hear about her?
There is an acquaintance of ours who is in love...
- with Sun Bin. - Really?
- Yes. - Is he a hip hop musician?
Yes. He is a producer called Psycoban.
- She is pretty. - This is...
- how much he loves Sun Bin. - What is that?
- Psycoban. - This shows his love for Sun Bin.
- Let's take a look. - It's taken from his social media.
- This is from his social media. - "The most beautiful woman".
He posted Sun Bin's photo and wrote, "The most beautiful woman".
- My goodness. - Let's see the next photo.
- My goodness. - What does it say?
- This is from his social media. - What did he write?
"Lee Jin Kyung. No more words."
It looks bad when a man called Psycoban does such things.
- Is that really from his account? - There are many people...
- who mistake me for his girlfriend. - That's how obsessed he is.
- People would think that. - Do you even know...
- what Psycoban looks like? - Yes. I have met him.
You have met him.
- He isn't your type. - What?
- He isn't your type. - Don't pretend to not hear him.
(Don't pretend to not hear him.)
Here is another photo.
Is that Psycoban?
He really is a psycho.
(Gu Ra doesn't mean it.)
- For goodness' sake. - "In my next life,"
"I will come back as a dog."
- He is confessing his love. - He must love her a lot.
Has Psycoban confessed or asked you out on a serious note?
My understanding is that he didn't always know me.
There is a hip hop crew called Vismajor.
I appeared in a music video of "Nabiya",
which is a song made by the member of the crew, Wutan.
- It was only when he watched it... - He became a fan.
that he became a fan.
- You must like hip hop music. - Yes. I do.
That's why Psycoban likes her.
Unfamiliar names such as Psycoban will make viewers switch channels.
(Viewers will switch channels.)
Sun Bin, you met Zico for the first time at a concert.
You cannot forget what he said to you.
What?
I am sure he doesn't remember.
I was grateful that Psycoban invited me to the concert.
I went to the waiting room after the concert to see him.
When artists saw me, they said, "Sister-in-law."
Do you remember that?
- Did I say that? - I see. They treated her like...
- Psycoban's girlfriend. - You were wiping off your sweat.
- You said, "Sister-in-law." - Really?
She is a celebrity among hip hop musicians.
Really?
Who is your ideal type?
I will be honest with you.
- It's Lee Kwang Soo. - She likes Lee Kwang Soo.
It's obviously not Psycoban.
(I'm sorry.)
- Do you like that he is tall? - I am not...
the type to stay quiet in a relationship.
I like that he gives big reactions and bickers a lot.
Psycoban gives big reactions.
(I know you don't mean it.)
Sun Bin,
- you trained to be in a girl group. - Really?
I started at 12th grade and remained a trainee...
- for three years and a half. - Will you debut soon?
It's not that I had a set date for a debut.
It's the way my agency is.
Since I like music, my agency trained me for many years.
Why don't you show us a dance to relax yourself?
I did prepare...
- a dance. - She trained for over three years.
Don't say that.
- I am sorry, - Yes?
but would you do this dance for Psycoban?
- Wait a minute. - You don't even know him.
(Gu Ra failed to connect the two.)
She prepared to be in a girl group for over three years.
My goodness.
This is performance is for Psycoban.
- Psycoban. - Yes, Psycoban.
(This performance is for Psycoban.)
Viewers who only started watching will wonder who Psycoban is.
I know.
She is a good dancer.
She is talented.
Her dance moves are powerful.
(She dances powerfully to the beat.)
She has amazing dance skills.
(She's attractive.)
(She's charismatic.)
(Even the hip hop musicians are impressed.)
That's good.
(Her long limbs make the dance more beautiful.)
She is like invertebrate.
(Laughing)
(She doesn't let Gu Ra's comment get to her.)
(Her amazing performance showed her talent.)
(She finishes with a haughty stare.)
(She exits hurriedly in embarrassment.)
- She is talented. - Her dance was...
very powerful.
- I should have practised more. - Don't say that.
- You have prepared enough. - It's okay.
There isn't more to see.
"There isn't more to see"?
You are so mean.
Don't say such soulless comments.
- "She is like invertebrate." - "She is like invertebrate."
(Did I say that?)
I heard that Simon D and Gray...
- are as popular as idols in China. - Is that true?
I was very surprised.
Fans reserved business seats to sit next to me during the flight.
Fans do that all the time.
I am sure it happens often to someone like Kyu Hyun,
- but it was a first for us. - It happens all the time.
- You must be very popular. - It happens all the time.
- Really? - Chinese fans are generous.
- It doesn't happen all the time! - Chinese fans...
- must like them very much. - It doesn't happen all the time.
Why are you saying that it happens all the time?
(He repeatedly said, "It happens all the time.")
They reserved rooms above ours at the hotel.
- It happens all the time. - Sure.
They reserve the surrounding rooms.
We apologise. He's like this all the time.
(Jong Shin's comment satisfies him.)
I have worked in China.
Chinese people would like Simon D's looks.
- Did you work in China? - Yes.
I appeared in a drama for eight months.
- Simon D is very popular. - A very handsome...
(Is she calling me very handsome?)
- child actor looks like Simon D. - A child actor?
(He is disappointed.)
You look like a child actor.
(He looks like a Chinese child actor.)
Does AOMG still have co-presidency?
- Yes. - Jay Park and Simon D run it.
I heard that the company was sold.
Yes, it was sold to CJ E and M.
Did you make a lot of money in the process?
- Just a little bit. - Really?
Just a little bit.
He must have made a lot of money.
I heard that the company was sold at a cheap price.
The price wasn't high.
- No? - It's cheaper than we expected.
We had more to gain in the acquisition.
You should have done it like the American producer, Dr. Dre.
You should have made the company bigger before you sold it.
- Don't say that. - It was sold at a cheap price.
- We had our reasons. - That's right.
Those in hip hop circles agree that the price was too cheap.
Do you know who I got this information from?
I got it from my son, Dong Hyun.
I am sure Dong Hyun got that from Rhymer.
- It's not like that. - Rhymer told him.
Even the kid who doesn't know anything was saying,
"Dad, they sold the company at a cheap price."
(Even a 19-year-old thinks so.)
- That's what he said. - I can't believe he said that.
- He is only 19 years old. - I am kidding.
Like father, like son.
(He is attacked because of Gu Ra.)
You're involved with the company that made "Show Me the Money", too.
You had criticised "Show Me the Money" before.
That's right.
You said that being on the show wouldn't make you a lot of money.
We were the first ones to be offered places at "Show Me the Money".
(The crowd is cheering.)
I told them that we will never be on the show.
We already make plenty of money.
You can get a bit carried away on the stage.
I got a bit carried away. Can't you understand that?
- It's okay. It happens. - Haven't you done it before?
What do fans say about your change of heart on "Show Me the Money"...
and CJ E and M's acquisition of AOMG?
Some say that...
we are on "Show Me the Money" after being involved with CJ E and M.
That's not true.
- I heard it was in the contract. - CJ E and M's acquisition...
- Dong Hyun said the same thing. - That's not true.
I heard you sold AOMG so you can appear on "Show Me the Money".
Don't be like that.
"Please let me be on Show Me the Money!"
It wasn't like that!
(He's exhausted.)
Even when we were discussing the portion of shares,
they asked me to be on the show. However, I refused.
I told them that to their faces.
What changed your mind?
I had a change of heart.
You can have a change of heart.
That's true.
I thought my appearance would benefit AOMG.
My mother wanted to see me on the show, too.
It was for your mother.
- Sure. - Don't look at me like that.
What a pathetic excuse for a hip hop musician.
"My mother wanted to see me on the show."
(He shouldn't have given an excuse.)
He respects his parents.
This is "Show Your Parents the Money".
(Show Your Parents the Money)
Even though Zico rapped...
about how useless TOEFL and TOEIC are,
he filmed a commercial for TOEIC.
You criticised TOEFL and TOEIC in your rap...
and went ahead to film a commercial for TOEIC.
I have succumbed to capitalism.
(He'd criticised the Korean education system.)
Do you want to study TOEIC with me?
(It was a sudden change.)
(He gets ridiculed.)
I can explain.
My rap was about my situation at that time.
I had no need for TOEIC and TOEFL because I focused on the arts.
However, I am required to go abroad now that I am a singer
When I am in the US, I find it hard to speak English.
That's how I realised the importance of TOEIC and TOEFL.
No one is forcing me to study now.
No one should be forced to study. Should they choose to,
I recommend they go to the academy I filmed the commercial for.
That's my position.
Will the academy renew the contract?
I hope they do.
(Would you let me film another commercial?)
Simon D is the CEO of AOMG.
Will you sign BewhY in?
What's BewhY's religion?
- BewhY? - Is he a Christian?
- Isn't he religious? - He is a Christian.
- He is a devout Christian. - Does he tithe?
I am pretty sure he does.
- Of course he does. - I am sure he does.
Devout Christians tithe.
- He gives 10 percent of his income. - It became the talk of the town.
Didn't another agency sign him?
- He is working alone. - He is working alone.
Perhaps, he has a master behind him.
The church is his agency.
He does give 10 percent of his income to the church.
(It must be in their contract.)
- That's what the tithe is. - I'm not making this up.
- I tithe, too. - Really?
- Will you sign him? - Well,
working and spending time with him for "Show Me the Money"...
made me realised that he is a good man with musical talents.
He gave me a lot of support.
Even though he is younger than me, I often depended on him.
I do want to see him for many years to come.
I suppose that being in the same agency...
will help achieve that.
BewhY is a devout Christian.
He will adjust well in AOMG's hedonistic environment.
- They are hedonistic. - That's not true.
I heard that AOMG is the utopia for hedonists.
- The interior looks like a club. - It's not like that.
- Eddy goes there to party. - That's not true.
Here is how you can sign BewhY. The agency is in Gangnam, right?
- Yes, it is. - It's in Gangnam.
Move the agency to Bongeunsa.
Bongeunsa?
- That's a Buddhist temple. - You are mixing up religions.
I am sorry.
(His absurd comment makes them laugh.)
Are you going to send him an offer?
He might refuse the offer.
That will be embarrassing.
- My feelings will be hurt. - He will accept it.
- "My feelings will be hurt." - He will accept it.
- He might say yes. - I am...
keeping in contact with BewhY's girlfriend.
- That's the tactic you are using. - It's not like that.
He is looking at the big picture.
It's not like that.
She worries a lot about BewhY.
He is exhausted from having many schedules.
- It's difficult to sign an artist. - His girlfriend told me that...
he is in need of an agency.
(He is in need of an agency.)
You are the CEO of an agency.
She said, "It's exhausting for him to manage his own schedule."
I didn't make a direct offer to BewhY.
- You are doing it via Radio Star. - You are.
- That's not true. - He is doing it now.
Are you sure you're not hinting him?
You should go to Dok2...
to arrange a meeting between a Buddhist and a Christian.
(Is that a bad idea?)
This is what Zico said in the preliminary interview.
He said that his appearance on "Show Me the Money"...
- inspired Gray greatly. - He is right.
- Gray told me so.
That's how Gu Ra talks.
(Gu Ra also praises himself.)
He talks about his own achievements.
The topic of "Show Me the Money" naturally came up.
I said, "I learned a lot from watching you on the show."
- It made me feel happy. - Zico talks about himself a lot.
He seems to have Gu Ra's mentality.
"Gray should be thankful to me."
"He gets signed with AOMG because of me."
I knew the scriptwriters would revise my words.
Did you really say this?
"Gray should be thankful to me." Tell us, Zico.
The only hip hop musicians Jay knew were Illionaire folks and me.
He often asked for my opinions.
He asked me for my opinion on Gray. I knew Gray,
so I told him that he is handsome and is the best.
- Thank you. - Looks matter in this age.
I told Jay that it will benefit him to sign Gray. He did, right away.
- Zico helped him. - They are similar.
Gray said that he is the one who made Simon D sign with AOMG.
(He nods.)
Simon D is the CEO, though.
- It cannot be denied. - Simon D has no power.
- Don't say that. - I didn't make AOMG sign him.
- He has no power. - He made the company sign the CEO.
The only things I lack are business cards and CEO's office.
(It indicates that he has no power.)
Perhaps he is only a CEO on the paper.
That's not true.
(I am not only a CEO on the paper.)
I acted as the link between Simon D and Jay.
Pride kept them from making the first move...
even though they liked each other. He asked, "Who will sign Simon D?"
This is when Simon D's contract with Amoeba Culture ended.
- Yes. - Amoeba Culture.
Jay was interested in running an agency with him,
but they refused to talk about it.
I acted as a bridge between Simon D and Jay.
When one paid a compliment, I exaggerated it to the other.
I told him, "Simon D says he really likes you."
He does like him.
- It was Jay that made the decision. - It wasn't a lie.
- That's right. - He made the final decision, right?
Jay owns a lot more shares than Simon D.
(He's upset.)
- It's true, right? - Just a little more.
Is the ratio 5.5...
- to 4.5? - It's about 5.5 to 4.5.
(Jay has business cards, the office and authority.)
- I see. - Then, can you not oppose him...
when he suggests an opinion? Do you always obey him?
- It's not that I obey... - Yes?
(Simon D, you can tell them.)
I agree with his opinions no matter what.
- I see. - I knew it.
It's not like that.
That means you obey him.
(I ruined it.)
Zico, today's theme is "Hot, Hot".
It's the title of the song used in a water park commercial, right?
("Hot, Hot" is Zico's song used in a TV commercial.)
- "Hot, Hot". - I've seen the TV commercial.
I heard you didn't want to film this commercial.
It's not like that. I didn't produce the entire song.
When I first heard the song,
I didn't know how to interpret it. I was baffled.
I started recording the song, and once I heard the intro,
I started feeling really excited.
- I came to like the song. - It made you feel excited.
Before that, I was a little sulky.
But once I started recording, I enjoyed the song.
(Once he started recording, he added exclamations.)
I made exclamations like this. That's how the song was made.
I didn't know it'd be this popular.
The lyrics became a popular phrase.
He's popular in many ways.
Artists often have a disagreement with an advertiser.
- That's true. For instance, - Right.
when I have to be in a photo shoot for an advertisement...
They often ask you to pose like this.
I know how to pose, but they ask me to strike a pose like this.
They asked me to jump posing like this.
(He gave in to capitalism again.)
This is a very common pose.
They always want us to pose like this.
This pose is also very common.
That's right.
- This one, too. - That's right.
- "Please lower your arms a little." - Exactly.
I'm always asked to make a meek-looking face.
- They always tell me... - It happens to hip hop artists.
"You look scary." So I have to pose...
with hazy eyes like this.
(He looks meek with hazy eyes.)
Zico is very popular among the music producers, as well.
Many people ask him for features or to produce a song.
He gets offers dozens of times a month.
It's too much for him to accept all the offers now.
When will you do a duet with Eddy Kim?
- Oh, right. - He won't do a duet with Eddy Kim.
- I already accepted the offer. - You should record the song soon.
After Eddy, it's my turn to do one with you.
- You get a lot of offers, right? - Yes. I get so many offers.
I've been getting even more offers lately.
Do you often refuse an offer?
Sometimes, I'm asked to do things I'm not very good at.
I have my weaknesses and strengths.
When I don't think I can do a good job,
I have to think of a way to decline politely.
- I don't have enough time, either. - Right.
- Opportunities don't come often. - I understand. That's how it is.
I'll work harder.
Give up on Zico if you understand him.
(He's anticipating.)
I won't give up.
(Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.)
Zico will show us his special talent today.
He did a good job in imitating Kim Rae Won last time.
Did you really have to...
take it all away from me?
- Who will you imitate today? - He has a great voice.
- I'll imitate Swings. - Swings?
Swings? Good.
First, I'll show you how he speaks.
Hi. I'm Swings. It's nice to see you.
Welcome to Just Music.
That's right. That's right.
Yes. That's right.
Here we go.
Hi. I'm Swings. My real name is Moon Ji Hoon.
Yes. That's right. That's right.
- He's good. - I really think...
only those who are lonely...
can be a hip hop artist. You know what I'm saying, right?
- Yes. That's right. - "You know what I'm saying, right?"
"You know what I'm saying, right?"
(Yes. That's right.)
Now, Simon D will imitate The Quiett.
I'm probably the only one in this country...
- who can imitate him. - The Quiett?
His real name is Dong Gap.
- Dong Gap? - Yes.
- His real name is Dong Gap? - It's Shin Dong Gap.
- Shin Dong Gap? - Yes.
It sounds like "same age" in Korean.
- That's right. - His real name is Dong Gap?
I think we need a booth like a ticket window.
- We press the buzzer. "Next." - "Next, please."
Please consider that.
When I meet him,
I say "Hi, Dong Gap. How have you been?"
He says, "I've been doing well."
You sound like Shin Moon Sun.
- I once... - "It's a goal."
I once imitated The Quiett...
in front of him. "How have you been? You know we're the same age, right?"
Then, he said "Are you imitating Shin Moon Sun?"
- Did he really say that? - "2 Chainz and Rollies."
- Am I not good at imitating him? - You're good.
- Show us again. - "2 Chainz and Rollies."
"2 Chainz and Rollies."
"It's a goal."
What was that?
I can imitate both Shin Dong Gap and Shin Moon Sun.
It's funny even though I don't know how The Quiett speaks.
- It's really funny. - "It's funny, right? It's funny."
Now, Gray will imitate Gary.
He speaks like this. "If you're moving, you're doing sports."
- And... - He sounds...
more like The Quiett.
Simon D, imitate The Quiett again.
"If you're moving, you're doing sports."
The Quiett's voice is a little deeper.
Gary sounds differently.
(His voice sounds relaxed, and he uses a rising intonation.)
Loving someone was always hard I was like an abandoned umbrella
- Loving someone was always hard - He's good.
The Quiett is here.
"You know we're the same age, right?"
(He's the best at imitating The Quiett.)
Now, Sun Bin will play the guitar and imitate Jung In.
- Wow. - I'll sing Dynamic Duo's song...
- "Go Back". - Jung In sang a part in the song.
I'll sing her part.
(Jung In has a unique, husky voice.)
Could you please do the rap part before her part?
I'll be a grown-up soon as I'll turn 30 after my military service
I'm all grown up now Here is my confession
- She's good. - She's good at singing.
- Indeed. - She's a good singer.
I want to go back to my childhood
She's good at singing.
- She's good. - I was...
She used Jung In as an excuse to show off.
- She didn't sound like Jung In. - Join "King of Mask Singer".
(She isn't good at imitating, but she's good at singing.)
- She'll play the guitar now. - She'll play her own song.
She composes songs, too.
- She'll play the guitar. - She has a lot of talents.
- I'm nervous. - I think she'll become successful.
- Thank you. - She's very talented.
- She can play the guitar, too. - She's good at dancing, too.
I wrote the lyrics when I was going through a hard time.
- I'll just sing the chorus part. - Okay.
Okay. I'm so nervous.
("My Song" by Lee Sun Bin)
(She plays the guitar skilfully.)
She plays the chords well.
It sounds like a country song.
(She plays her own song for the first time.)
(In the memory floating about like the wind)
(Tears are running down my face)
(I thought I would shine like a lighthouse)
(But I can't be seen just like a lighthouse in the daytime)
- Wow. - Did you write the lyrics?
- That was great. - Did you write the lyrics?
- Yes, I did. - I think...
- I was having a hard time. - I really like the lyrics.
- She's good. - I can see...
I can see why Psycoban likes her so much.
(Psycoban likes this song.)
I heard you cried while filming a movie with Kim Hye Soo.
Oh, that.
- I didn't cry in a scene. - What movie is it?
It's "Goodbye Single".
- Oh, "Goodbye Single". - Yes.
I played a small part in that movie.
I wanted to say hello to her, so I mustered up my courage.
I was overwhelmed and honoured to be with her in the same place.
I went to say hello to her.
She greeted me very warmly saying that she hoped...
- to meet me again after that. - She has good manners.
- I realised that when I met her. - That's true.
She glanced at me and said, "Your son is adorable."
That's funny.
She's the same age as me.
- She debuted when she was a child. - We're the same age.
She's Gu Ra's age, but she debuted earlier than I did.
I understand why you're surprised.
Lee Soo Man said the same thing when I met him.
I said hello to him, and he said,
"Your son is adorable." It's been a long time since then.
I said hello to Hye Soo, and she said, "Your son is adorable."
Didn't you mean to compliment her?
What I'm trying to say is...
Wasn't he complimenting her?
I'm saying that she was different from my imagination.
- I thought you'd compliment her. - I am complimenting her.
- She complimented my son. - I don't think you are.
- Right? - Go on.
Even though we're the same age, her aura is at a different level.
- I mean... - Are you complimenting her?
- Yes, I am. - All right.
It's a good thing that she complimented my son.
- So you're complimenting her? - She said my son is adorable.
Say something to Hye Soo. When you see her next time...
- Say you're a big fan. - I can't.
Give it a try.
- Say "Hye Soo, let's be friends." - I can't.
- Thank you, Hye Soo. - "Your son is adorable."
Thank you, Hye Soo.
(Please come to Radio Star and be friends with Gu Ra.)
- Sun Bin. - Yes?
Is it true that you faced two thieves in your house?
Oh, that.
It's an old house where my father has lived since he was born.
It's a very old house.
We still use a lock on the door that we lock from the outside.
We can't lock the door from inside. That's all.
My parents went out five minutes before that happened.
I heard a man's voice as the door opened.
He said he was from a courier service.
He just wanted to check if there's anyone in the house.
It was a double door.
The one inside was an opaque glass sliding door.
The other one is a transparent glass door.
- Both are squeaky. - I see.
I opened the opaque door.
There were two tall men standing in front of the door.
One of them said "You have a parcel. Won't you take it inside?"
He practically yelled at me.
I said I didn't understand.
Then, he asked "Are your parents home?"
How old were you then?
- I was in 9th or 10th grade. - You should've tricked them.
- "My father is a detective." - I couldn't.
I was so baffled.
At that moment, I realised what was going on.
I said that my father was in my grandmother's house.
Suddenly, they tried to come into the house.
While they were walking toward the door...
I closed the inside door while shaking in fear.
But unfortunately...
the door wouldn't close all the way.
I was scary, but I thought I shouldn't scream.
I was shaking in fear.
At that moment, I felt like I was moving in a slow motion.
I looked down.
There was my mother's slipper...
stuck in the door.
- It's like a movie. - The outside door was still closed.
What was even scarier was...
there was no one in my grandmother's house.
He walked up the stairs,
and he said "Will you not take the product you ordered?"
He said it to himself.
Then, he said "Oh, you won't? I understand."
The thieves ran away after that.
- I called my mum when they're gone. - She must've been scared.
I cried while I was telling her what had happened.
She asked me if they had taken her jewellery.
Did she?
(Her mother is realistic.)
- A thief got into my house, too. - Is that so?
My parents ran a photo studio.
There was a room at the back of the studio.
All four members of my family slept together in that room.
I guess we forgot to lock one of the doors.
While I was sleeping, my mother woke me.
She whispered, "Gi Seok".
(Gi Seok is Simon D's real name.)
- "Wake up." - Right.
- She was sleeping next to me. - I see.
I grunted, and my mother said "Be quiet."
"A thief is in our house right now."
Why didn't you tell your father?
I was lying between my father and mother,
and my little brother was lying next to my mother.
She said "Be quiet. Don't make any sound."
Then, the thief came in...
and lean toward my mother...
and looked at her.
He was checking if she was wearing a necklace.
Then, he looked for a ring.
- He touched my mother's hand. - My goodness.
Right then,
a street vendor shouted "Delicious shellfish soup!"
- The thief got startled and ran. - No way.
- Is that a true story? - Yes, it is.
- Is it true? - The street vendor saved our lives.
- Was she shouting outside? - Yes.
My mum couldn't scream or open her eyes...
- because the thief might hurt her. - Right. It's dangerous.
When he was about to take my mum's ring off her finger...
- "Delicious shellfish soup!" - From outside?
Yes. The thief got startled and ran away.
Do you like shellfish soup?
Of course, I do.
It was possible only because he lived in Gyeongsang Province.
"Delicious shellfish soup!"
We wouldn't have believed you if you had lived in Seoul.
(We wouldn't have believed you if you had lived in Seoul.)
Simon D.
Lady Jane released a new song. Have you heard the song?
Stop talking about his love life.
The song title is "Delicious Shellfish Soup".
He ambushed you by the question.
- It's a good song. - I haven't heard her new song, yet.
- I haven't heard it, yet. - You haven't?
By the way, Lady Jane's appearance on "King of Mask Singer"...
became the talk of the town.
I watched that show.
- Did you know it was her? - I knew it was her.
I see.
- You recognised her body gestures. - No. I recognised her voice.
- I knew it was her. - Wow.
I'm trying to be careful with talking about things like this...
because if he has a girlfriend now...
- he must be in an awkward position. - That's right.
I'm sorry for bringing that up because that might be the case.
- It could be... - That's okay.
- Wouldn't she mind? - Do you want us to stop?
- She? Who do you mean? - Your new girlfriend.
I wouldn't mind...
If that's the case, we shouldn't be talking about this.
They're making me uncomfortable.
"Delicious shellfish soup!"
(Shout it when you're in danger.)
That's why I'm saying that we shouldn't talk about her.
Right.
We shouldn't talk about Lady Jane in front of him any more.
Is it true that you had your pocket picked...
- in the underground? - Yes.
Where did you get the money that was in your pocket?
(Is it true that you lost the money...)
(Lady Jane gave you in the underground?)
You're mean.
He earned the money by selling shellfish soup.
He made money to become a rapper by selling shellfish soup.
The money...
- Where did you get it? - I was in the underground.
It was before I became successful.
- Lady Jane gave me the money... - She did?
- for the taxi fare. - I see.
- She gave me about five dollars. - You saved it.
I took the underground instead of taxi.
Someone stole that money in the underground.
It would've been funny if when the thief was about steal...
someone had said "Delicious shellfish soup".
Stop saying that. Gosh.
- You can record the phrase... - Is it that funny?
and play it when you meet a thief.
- "Delicious shellfish soup!" - "Delicious shellfish soup!"
(Shout it when you're in danger.)
I don't know if Simon D cries often, but...
- he cried on "Chef and My Fridge". - Why did you cry on that show?
- I remember that. - Did you really cry?
- I was the first one to cry. - Did you cry on the show?
Yes. The chef cooked something with my mother's soup...
- that was frozen. - I see.
- When I ate the dish, - I understand why you cried.
I regretted not having eaten my mother's dish...
- because heating it up is a hassle. - Was it shellfish soup?
- She cooked a great dish... - Shellfish soup?
No. She made chicken soup with abalone...
and put it in my freezer.
- But I... - That's what mothers do.
- ordered food delivery. - Food piles up in the fridge.
- That's right. - She made you healthy food.
While Suk Chun was cooking with my mother's food,
he spilled half of it by mistake.
He said something to me while apologising,
and I burst in tears.
You cried while watching "Live Info Show", too.
- What made you cry? - Why?
- I cried because... - I heard you had cried like a baby.
I guess he's easily moved to tears.
- You cry often. - He cried like a baby.
(He says Simon D cried like a baby.)
- I think... - Why did you cry?
- I was watching "Live Info Show". - What made you cry?
There was a family that used to be poor.
They came up with a new menu for their restaurant...
- and became... - They became successful?
Their story made me shed a tear.
Recently, I cried...
when I watched "Show Me the Money". I watch it in real time.
After BewhY finished performing...
"Day Day",
I got teary-eyed and it was caught by the camera.
I cried when I watched myself crying on TV.
Is that true?
I became so emotional while watching myself.
You were moved by yourself being moved?
That's right.
(I'm a man who shed tears from time to time.)
How about you become the first rapper who cries while performing?
- Someone has already done it. - Oh, the crying rap.
His rap was more like shouting.
- I actually thought of it. - Give it a try.
Cry while you're rapping.
I'll give it a try next time.
- How about... - He's easily moved to tears.
getting a teardrop-shaped tattoo under your eye.
- Many foreign rappers do that. - They get that kind of tattoo...
when their friends die. Gangsters usually do that.
- They get a tattoo like that. - We don't know things like that.
(I just said it without thinking.)
(He pretends he didn't hear it.)
Gray must be a perfectionist.
Because of his perfectionism,
he got an F in all his classes.
- That's hard to believe. - Indeed.
When I was a freshman, I won a scholarship.
After I was discharged from the military,
I started composing songs for fun.
I enjoyed it so much...
that I overslept often,
- and I missed some classes. - I see.
- You fail if you miss three times. - I know.
I thought to myself that,
I should stop going to school...
rather than getting low grades.
- You wanted to fail all classes? - You meant to take the classes...
- again in the next semester. - I decided not to go to school.
- I failed all my classes twice. - Did you graduate from school?
- He might have dropped out. - No, I haven't, yet.
Yet? Are you planning to graduate from school?
- I wouldn't mind if I don't. - I graduated from college.
- Did you? - What was your major?
- I majored in computer science. - Didn't you major in theology?
- I majored in hotel management. - Is that so?
- You were wrong. - It suits you.
It suits you.
I hope you will run a hotel.
- Business management suits you. - When I was young,
I dreamed of owning a motel.
I still have that dream.
Motel management...
- "Motel management". - He majored in motel management?
(It turns out he majored in motel management.)
It's a good business. It doesn't easily fail.
I've never heard of a motel ran by a celebrity.
- I'll be... - I think it'll become famous.
Usually, people go to a motel...
for privacy.
Wouldn't it be a problem if it's famous?
- I'll be at the reception. - People would take pictures.
I'll give them the key and say "Have a good time."
(He'll be a friendly owner.)
If you're really going to run a motel,
there are many hip hop artists who have no place to live.
- You should run a motel for them. - That's not a motel.
- That's a dormitory. - You're right.
- Of course. - That's right.
- How can I let them stay for free?
Not for free. Since they have no place to go with their girlfriends,
you can provide a place for them.
Then, reporters would wait in front of the motel...
- to take pictures of rappers. - That's right.
- Right. - "Do you think Gray will come?"
(Gu Ra realised the problem.)
"Gray just left."
(The word would spread quickly.)
Zico.
Your face got SM Entertainment's style when you were...
in primary school, so you had a lot of offers from them.
- SM Entertainment style? - I didn't get a lot of offers.
How did you look when you were a child?
Until I entered middle school,
I actually looked...
quite neat and tidy.
- You were good-looking? - I looked...
- quite amiable back then. - You were handsome?
- Now I look a little fierce. - I prepared his photo as a child.
- He was in primary school. - Let's see his picture.
- I've never seen it before. - It's SM Entertainment style face.
That's not true.
- It's Zico with an SM style face. - That's not true.
Let's take a look.
No. That's not the right one.
(I can't believe that's me.)
- Let's take a look. - No. That's not the right one.
(This is how Zico looked when he was in primary school.)
He really has an SM style face.
- He looks like... - I was in middle school back then.
Doesn't he look like the owner of FNC Entertainment?
- That picture was taken... - He really looks like the owner.
The owner of FNC Entertainment is not even a singer.
You found a wrong picture.
- Is that so? - I'll show you...
- You were so cute then. - He looks cute in this photo.
- He has his photo. - I'm sure I have that photo.
Do you look like SM Entertainment artists?
- He has a photo to prove it. - Don't you look like Han Seong Ho?
Let me show you.
(He's shy.)
- I see it now. - This is me as a child.
You got the selfie angle.
This is SM Entertainment's style.
- That's Moon Hee Jun. - It is.
(Zico's youth, featuring Moon Hee Jun)
- You have the SM vibe. - He does.
Doesn't Han Seong Ho look like him?
No one knows him that well.
(Oh, dear.)
Since we're talking about faces,
- Sun Bin, you didn't fix yours. - I didn't.
- Are you sure? - The thing is,
many people think that I had plastic surgery.
- But... - It could be your nose bridge.
My nose is hooked, too.
I have a hooked nose.
I'd say I got really lucky.
I filmed "The Law of Jungle" a while ago.
You'll be able to see I didn't fix my face whatsoever.
I look so different.
It's all in the makeup.
(It's all makeup.)
(She's so easy-going.)
Did anyone say you look like Min Ah?
- Min Ah. - "Answer Your Phone".
"Answer Your Phone"?
- No, Girl's Day. - Girl's Day?
(He teases him.)
- You're too old. - That's the generation gap.
Bang Min Ah.
Why didn't you just mention Anchor Son Mi Na?
(The older you are, the more familiar you are...)
(with the person on the right.)
Simon D.
You judged MC Minzy, Jung Jun Ha, from "Infinite Challenge".
- Was he any good? - To be honest,
I didn't expect much.
(Zico was MC Minzy's rap coach.)
I expected him to be funny.
- Funny or amusing at least. - He tries so hard.
I could tell that Jun Ha was so nervous.
He said, "Don't laugh".
I felt his sincerity and honesty.
I felt all his emotions.
Everyone around him was laughing.
They were mocking him and expecting him to do poorly.
(MC Minzy's preliminary round)
Be confident. Be loud.
(MC Minzy is anxious.)
(Everyone around is ready to laugh.)
Don't laugh!
(They cheer when they hear him shout from his heart.)
Then he continued with his rap.
His tone and vocalisation...
were better than most of the contestants'.
- He's a good singer. - Yes.
- He was torn. - I considered putting him through.
Why did you eliminate him?
"Show Me the Money" is tough.
You know that.
It gets harder with each stage.
When he finished his rap, I saw tears in his eyes.
Was that him begging you to eliminate him?
That was the feeling I got.
(Please don't let move on to the next round.)
(His tears moved Simon D.)
That's not hip hop.
Based on the circumstances,
I thought it was right to let him go.
As soon as I said that he didn't qualify to go to the next round,
he was so grateful to me.
That's not hip hop.
(Gu Ra's too tough.)
- Simon D. - Yes?
Before Gu Ra's son debuted as MC Gree,
- did Gu Ra ask you to dissuade him? - What do you mean?
I wasn't bribed. Gu Ra asked me...
to make Dong Hyun give up.
To not get into hip hop?
To give up on being an MC.
- What a terrible dad. - Is that true?
- It's not. - He's very conservative.
He wanted Dong Hyun to study.
- Be quiet. What did he say? - I can explain.
Tell us what happened.
"I need you to meet with him and talk sense into him."
It's a tough...
Be quiet. Let's listen to him.
Pretend that we're in court.
"Be brutal and honest so that he will want to give up."
- "Tell him it's tough." - That was it.
- We all met in Hongdae. - With DJ Pumkin.
DJ Pumkin, our director, and Dong Hyun, the four of us met.
Then I saw the look in Dong Hyun's eyes.
He was serious.
He has poor eyesight.
(He's ruining the mood.)
Be quiet.
That was irrelevant.
- Mr Kim, please be quiet. - Your son was serious.
- What then? - So...
I came over to talk him out of his dream,
but he was too passionate about it.
He wouldn't stop talking about it.
Gu Ra couldn't get a word in.
I left so the two of you could talk in private.
I'm not that old-fashioned.
- Sir. - I left.
- Say that. - Be quiet.
After Gu Ra left, did you tell him to keep going or not?
I told him to keep going.
Well done.
You should do what you like and are good at.
Hip hop labels were considered outsiders and underground labels,
- but now there are some big ones. - That's right.
We weren't expecting this.
There's no reason to stop him.
I said this on another show.
I tried to talk Dong Hyun out of getting into hip hop,
but now I've realised that I was sorely mistaken and was misinformed.
I think he made the right choice and I respect that.
He looked very serious about it, so we decided to help him.
We wanted to help Dong Hyun.
- Gray, you... - Yes.
He came to my studio to record a few tracks.
I corrected some mistakes and gave him some tips.
- You coached him, then. - Thank you.
- You set up a home studio. - That's right.
- To record at home. - Yes.
DJ Pumkin came and set it all up.
- DJ Pumkin set it up for you. - That's right.
You got him started.
But there's this line from the movie "Friend".
"You took our merchandise"...
"and swore loyalty to another."
Dong Hyun signed with another agency.
(Gu Ra's looking away.)
You basically used us.
No, no.
- Don't think of it that way. - It's true.
At the time, AOMG and its artists were all about...
pleasure and entertainment.
- That's not true. - Pleasure?
Dong Hyun needed to be taught and managed...
- and you were too free. - No.
He's a kid.
- Rhymer sat us down and said... - Pleasure?
- "I raised Zico." - Wait.
I'll do what I did to Zico.
I'll give him homework and I'll check it.
He convinced me and that's why I sent Dong Hyun there.
- Back then... - Did Rhymer raise you?
- No, he just discovered me. - That's the point.
- Rhymer is good at that. - That's what he said.
I can fend for myself.
(He's bragging.)
(His rap and wit are all his own.)
I felt sorry and bad for the AOMG, so I called them...
and asked what they thought about Rhymer's offer.
He said that they weren't able to match it.
That's why I chose Rhymer.
Gu Ra, you're a lot like a child compared to before.
I'm not.
You had such presence on "Hot Brothers".
Now, not so much.
At the time...
- I'll explain. - He suppressed it all.
- He never made excuses. - There were some gossips.
He never made excuses.
(Gu Ra has changed.)
Sun Bin was poor and did all sorts of part-time jobs.
I've handed out leaflets on the streets...
and gone around block of flats to stick small promotional magnets.
I've also cleaned the grills at barbecue restaurants.
Did you give all the money you made to your parents?
Yes, because that's how they can pay my tuition...
and give me an allowance.
You were a good girl.
Why do you want to apologise to the ice cream store owner?
- The ice cream... - Did you eat a lot?
- You ate it all. - It's not that.
I got into liberal arts high school,
but I wasn't sure it was for me.
I took time off in my first year to be in musical theatre...
and travelled to Seoul to be in shows.
When it was time to graduate, I thought it was too late.
I thought I'd never make it,
so without telling anyone, I waited for my payday and...
You just quit.
I left my mother a note and I kept the money for the first time...
then came to Seoul to audition.
- To succeed. - Yes.
Did you not tell the store owner?
I didn't say a thing.
I have a great tip for those situations.
(She listens attentively.)
Leave a note in a tub of ice cream.
I...
A customer might eat it.
They'll fish it out of their mouth.
"Why is this person thanking me?"
(They keep joking.)
When you were a trainee and you didn't have a place to stay,
did you wash your hair in cold water every three days?
That was because...
It must have been for your scalp.
What?
It keeps the pores tight.
What happened?
At the time, a round-trip to Cheonan cost 10 dollars and 80 cents.
That was too expensive for me,
so I decided to find another way.
There are private singing rooms. You know what I mean, right?
They're soundproof and used only for singing practice.
A vocal room.
Everyone went home at around 10pm anyway.
- So I stayed... - In that room?
- It's cold there. - It was.
At the time,
no one lives there so there's no need for hot running water.
The only hot water they had was in the water dispenser.
I had to wash my hair.
At first I washed it with cold water every three days...
and wore a hat to practices, so it was fine.
As time went on, I ended up getting shingles...
from being unhygienic.
On which part of your body?
- Beside my nose and here. - That's a dangerous spot.
I still have scars on my thighs.
- Was it that bad? - Yes. I was 20.
Did you stay with your cousins in their dormitories secretly?
The dormitory... Am I allowed to tell you this?
You must never do this.
I'd been practically homeless, and I needed a place to stay.
My female cousins all went to college in Seoul...
and lived in a Daehangno dormitory, which is exclusively for students.
Some rooms have a bunk bed and are for two people.
Three people aren't allowed to stay in that room,
but I acted like...
- I was a paying student. - I see.
I remembered what the landlady looked like and if I met her,
I'd go up to say hi to her.
- I'd say, "Hello." - "Ma'am."
"Your perm came out nicely."
I'd walk straight up to the cafeteria...
And get food.
Your role on "Squad 38" was perfect for you, then.
- I was prepared. - It's different.
- I had some practice. - It's about fraud.
I think Psycoban will be pleased when this airs.
(2016 is Sun Bin's year.)
Sun Bin, our production crew was shocked...
when they saw your hands.
They don't look like that of an actress.
They're calloused.
I tried to clean and soften them up, but...
Let me have a look.
- He's like a dad. - They're right.
Right here.
- Are they calloused? - Yes.
What happened?
I presume that she also had eczema or dermatitis.
- Right? - Yes.
- I see. - This is embarrassing.
Don't be. You don't have to be.
- It means you worked hard. - Years ago...
They're like Kim Yuna's feet.
(Is that a compliment?)
- That's what I think. - Thank you.
They're hands, not feet.
I mean they're as beautiful as Kim Yuna's feet.
She practised so much.
Are you still comparing hands and feet?
I used bleach a lot when I worked part-time.
That's true.
It's more upsetting than seeing...
an athlete's calloused hands.
You didn't even play sports. You worked so hard that...
you ended up with rough hands.
Guys punch walls hoping to get callouses.
They hit rough surfaces.
Flowers grown in greenhouses will never understand such things.
He was raised by his parents and SM Entertainment.
Do you know how hot it gets in a greenhouse?
- Is it tough for them, too? - It gets hot.
Some plants die.
(It gets hot, hot.)
I have nice and soft hands for a man.
- How is that nice? - They're nice.
- They're just fat. - They're soft.
- Look. - It looks like a foot.
(He has big bear paws.)
- Now... - It's so fat.
I used to be embarrassed but now they come in handy.
I'm good at handling hot objects.
- I can't feel the heat. - That's because...
you used to clean hot grills.
You'd do well carrying hot soup pots at seafood restaurants.
(She'd be good at serving hot food.)
You are watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Today we have four of the hottest stars and they'll sing songs...
that they think will do better if they sing it.
Hot, hot.
- Hot, hot. - Hot, hot.
Let's listen to Simon D and Gray's choice.
This is the song the two men from AOMG selected.
It's your own song.
- Simon D's promoting his song. - He is.
It's the trend.
Why did you pick this song?
"Comfortable".
Filming "Show Me the Money"...
was so hard on me physically and mentally.
I think I lost about 5kg.
During that time, I wrote this song.
It was a song that we wrote that helped us manage...
- to relax and recover. - It healed you.
Yes. It did that.
Let's listen to Simon D and Gray sing "Comfortable".
("Comfortable" by Simon D and Gray)
(Gray's voice goes well with the music.)
(It's a gesture to control his pitch.)
(It's corny.)
(Now let's get comfortable.)
(It's a healing song sung by the hot artists of the hip hop scene.)
(These two grooves to the beat.)
(They don't understand hip hop.)
(The lyrics are witty.)
Good night, everyone.
(Oh, my.)
Thank you.
That was comfortable.
Gu Ra always says something like that towards the end of the shoot.
- "Comfortable". - This song...
It'll probably get popular.
- It already is. - It's famous.
- We love it. - It's famous already.
I still have it.
- It's in the charts. - You're worse than me.
We heard her practise and I was quite surprised.
Let's listen to the song Sun Bin chose.
(What song did Sun Bin pick?)
("A Little Lovin" by eSNa)
- "A Little Lovin". - Why did you choose this song?
I love songs with a groove and this one has great lyrics, too.
What is it about?
I can relate to the lyrics.
I prefer trousers to skirts.
You can show that you have a different side.
Let's hear Sun Bin sing "A Little Lovin".
("A Little Lovin" by Lee Sun Bin)
(She's getting used to the rhythm.)
(Now her soulful side comes out.)
(Her swaying and tone of voice suit the song.)
(I prefer trousers to dresses)
(Her voice is unexpectedly deep.)
(Wearing expensive clothes doesn't make you look rich)
(Simon D's channelling Psycoban.)
(I don't need a flashy car)
(All I want a sincere and serious man)
(Her charming voice fills the room.)
(She's good.)
(Anyone would become a fan of her singing.)
(They are captivated.)
Thank you.
Well done.
That was great.
- You're great for an actress. - She is.
- Thanks. - Did you doze off?
Did you doze off?
I had my eyes wide open.
(I believe you.)
The reason that the four of you are now doing so well is because...
you are passionate about what you do and you went for it.
Can I express your passion with a rap of my own?
Simon D and Gray, you're so hot
Zico, Sun Bin, you're so hot
Burn bright with your passion
You're so hot
You're so young, keep burning, you're so hot
Burning, burning, hot, hot
Radio Star
(Hip hop brings everyone together.)
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
