(MBC received a warning...)
(in the episode of Radio Star aired on June 1, 2016.)
("One ad-lib is too much" versus "He is an incapable film director.")
(Sharp-tongued director and actor will take the talk to the end.)
(Saucy stories are shared.)
(The show welcomes the coming of the best storyteller.)
(He talks about his kiss scene with Kang Susie.)
(Gook Jin is devastated.)
(Actors sacrifice themselves for the show.)
(Old Guys Special starts now.)
Old men who are as cool as young men are in vogue.
I think it's the ability to love without worrying about others...
that makes old men so charming.
I'm the one who made old men fashionable.
Wordplay makes old men lovable.
I've been doing it for 10 years.
The title of the song I released last month means "Old men".
Come back, come back
Become a cool old man
That's the melody.
Listen to the song.
It's the top 945 on Melon Chart.
(It wasn't even on the chart.)
The hottest old men...
are Cho Jin Woong, Ma Dong Seok and Kim Hee Won.
While these men play the villains in films,
they're gentle and dependable in real life.
I'm the same.
I play the villain in Radio Star.
You are just evil.
Even though I was born in 1991 like Min Ho, Hyung Sik and Su Ho,
I look like an old man.
I'm trying to stay confident. I'm satisfied with my face.
- He does look old. - Look at the way he's dressed.
It's not something a man who was born in 1991 would wear.
(He looks like the head of a department.)
I'll charm the viewers among these older men.
Fall into my charms.
(He is acting cute.)
(It brings back memories.)
(He is acting cute.)
(They're shocked.)
(His cute act flustered everyone.)
(Dong Woon became the prince of cute acts.)
(Old guys find it hard to get used it.)
I've seen him do that for many years.
This is why I recommended him.
I always work hard.
However, he isn't funny.
(He accepts Gu Ra's criticism in a carefree manner.)
Old guys with irresistible charms...
and handsome looks have gathered today.
You're watching a high-end music programme...
starring the handsomest old guys, Radio Star.
(Radio Star)
Dong Woon.
- You're here as a special host. - Yes.
- Do you know how he got the job? - Tell us.
They wanted a top idol singer, but I recommended him.
Is he not a top idol singer anymore?
While Beast is a top idol group,
He is the least-known member.
All other members have made a name for themselves.
Dong Woon only has a beastly image.
We need to create a new image for him.
He's a beast.
(He's a wolf pup in the jungle of variety shows.)
He's a werewolf boy among idol singers.
We need to create a new image for him.
I'll become Park Bo Young for him.
I'll work hard.
Old men with acting skills, good looks and sharp words...
as well as irresistible charms have gathered today.
This is Old Guys Special.
- They're old men. - Let's begin with this guest.
He's equipped with good looks and amazing acting skills.
He can pull off roles ranging from a doctor to a thug.
He's the epitome of homme fatale.
For 28 years, he was praised for his acting skills.
He now debuted as a director.
He's an actor, Jo Jae Hyun.
The way he's leaning back makes him look like he is at a sauna.
He looks comfortable.
He's tired.
- He's tired. - He's an old man.
I feel like I'm at a resting place of a sauna.
(It's comfortable here.)
Even though this man is single,
"Jagiya" wants to recruit him.
He has charms of a married man.
He let himself known with "Secret Love Affair"...
and gained fame as Gil Tae Mi in "Six Flying Dragons".
However, he runs away whenever people recognise him.
He's an actor with unique charms, Park Hyuk Kwon.
This man never turns down a role he's offered.
He has been in over 100 works.
He's the master of ad-libs...
who created more catchphrases than a comedian.
He's an actor, Park Chul Min.
This man is gaining popularity...
by showing opposing charms next to Park Bo Gum.
He's well-known as an acting teacher who taught...
Song Joong Ki for "A Werewolf Boy"...
and Seol Gyeong Gu for "My Dictator".
He's an actor, Lee Joon Hyuk.
(Lee Joon Hyuk)
Welcome.
It's Lee Joon Hyuk.
- Come in. What are you doing? - Please come in.
Old men!
- Come in. - We're done with the introductions.
Why didn't they come in?
He resembles Psy.
- That's right. - I'm reminded of Psy.
I lost a lot of weight.
(He strikes a pose.)
(He looks exactly like Psy.)
(He has a strong presence from the start.)
It's nice to have you here. Jae Hyun, say hello to the viewers.
He looks like a director.
He's dressed like one.
I didn't even shave today.
I didn't want to look like an actor.
That's why I left my stubble.
You should have let your beard grow out more.
Why didn't you bring a megaphone?
(I'm a director.)
Hello, I am Park Hyuk Kwon.
You should get a haircut.
Did you grow out your hair for your role?
Did you not go to a hair salon?
I didn't grow it out on purpose. I just didn't get a haircut.
Actors shouldn't get a haircut.
Really? Do they only get a haircut for a film?
After the shoot, they should grow out their hair again.
Then they can adapt to any hairstyle for a new role.
- They may need long hair. - That's why they let the hair grow.
I get a cut all the time.
I always cut my guarantees.
(He is not talking about hair.)
Are you cracking dad jokes already?
(He cracked a dad joke.)
Please say hello to the viewers.
What is the highest viewer rating this show has had?
These days,
most shows don't have viewer ratings above 10 percent.
- This show has above 10 percent. - Radio Star has above 10 percent.
I will revive...
the depressed viewer rating of Radio Star.
- What are you talking about? - It's not depressed.
I am afraid it will become depressed because of you.
Joon Hyuk, please say hello to the viewers.
- Do I look at that camera? - Yes.
Hello. I am an actor, Lee Joon Hyuk.
(He acts cute all of a sudden.)
You should do the same.
How cute.
- He is a funny man. - Start acting cute.
(They are equally matched.)
I thought...
(He's suddenly showing off his collarbone.)
(The cutest)
Jae Hyun, you visited Radio Star last time...
to promote the play you were in. It seems like it was effective.
- You are wrong. - Wasn't it effective?
I heard that the play was a success.
I didn't visit Radio Star to promote the play.
Are you sure about that?
That's exactly why you visited.
Should we not talk about the film?
Of course we should.
- That's promotion. - No. It's not.
A promotion is airing a commercial...
so that many people come...
and the business prospers.
With plays and films,
- it is not the same. - It's not a business.
I am giving valuable information to the viewers.
Then you should have visited an informational show.
It seems like morning shows would have been a better match.
I will visit morning shows as well.
I'm doing the viewers a favour.
The sales reached 500,000 dollars after your visit.
The show brought people to the theatre.
That's right.
It's not easy for a play to sell 10,000 tickets.
- However, the play I was in, did. - That's business.
- You made money from it. - It's information.
Is that information?
The information tells us that the sales reached 500,000 dollars.
We give you information that the sales reached 500,000 dollars.
(It's valuable information.)
Jae Hyun is the director of the film he will promote today.
The two lead actors, Park Hyuk Kwon and Lee Joon Hyuk are here as well.
Was it necessary for the cameo, Park Chul Min to be here?
This is a first in the 100-year history of Korean films.
- You had a cameo role. - Never before had a director...
forced the cameo to promote the film.
I thought there should be four guests.
(He's here to fill up space.)
What was the budget for the film?
It's hard to say.
- What do you mean? - Many actors including myself...
worked without payment.
I also shot the film in locations I know.
Did you not receive payment?
- I did. - It wasn't much of a payment.
It covered travelling costs, and the cost of having a manager.
That's all it covered.
How did you feel when you received the money?
I received money for travelling.
However, since I didn't want him to brag about having paid me,
I gave back half of the money.
(He gave back half of the money so that Jae Hyun wouldn't brag.)
That's hilarious.
He didn't want people to think that he received payment.
- I didn't want that. - He gave me back the money...
and told me to share it among the staff members.
- What he did upset me. - You shared it among the staff.
He shared it after deducting 3.3 percent.
That upset me.
At least you got that much. My payment is practically tax-free.
You say that...
because you received a gift card in payment.
That's right.
Which department store was it for? Hyundai or Shinsegae?
It doesn't matter. It wasn't for the best department store.
It was for the second tier.
Receiving gift cards feels good...
when you can use them readily.
It wasn't a gift card you could use anywhere.
It was for an obscure department store.
- You had to go there. - The gift card forced him.
- Can I tell you the amount? - Go ahead.
I would like to reveal the amount.
It was a 100-dollar gift card.
(Gift card)
Jae Hyun is out of his mind.
- He practically worked for free. - You are incorrigible.
- My goodness. - You're incorrigible.
- It made me think a lot. - My face turned red.
- I can't believe it. - He's incorrigible.
I doubted my eyes.
Since Jae Hyun and I were in the same agency,
I wondered if there has been a mistake.
I doubted my eyes.
Seriously.
Even though Jae Hyun and I are close friends,
it was like an envelope of sabotage.
(It was like an envelope of sabotage.)
I can't believe he gave you 100 dollars.
- Jae Hyun did it to sabotage him. - Wasn't it 200 dollars?
- Jae Hyun did it to sabotage him. - I am a bit hazy on the amount.
- It was either 100 or 200 dollars. - Perhaps it was 300 dollars.
No. It wasn't 300 dollars.
I'm certain it wasn't 300 dollars.
If I remember correctly, Chul Min...
gave the gift card to a staff member as a wedding gift.
- That means it was 200 dollars. - 200 dollars.
200 dollars.
- Jae Hyun gave him 200 dollars. - He remembered the amount.
There was a staff member whose wedding I didn't attend.
I gave him 100 dollars’ worth of gift card...
and returned home with the rest.
It's quite shocking.
It felt like I had received 100 dollars.
(I feel bad.)
Hyuk Kwon, you got an offer to star in the film...
while working on the same drama with Jae Hyun...
and readily accepted the offer.
I heard that you thought, "He wouldn't shoot a film."
Did it surprise you that he actually shot the film?
I was 100 percent sure that he wouldn't do it.
That's how much you didn't trust him.
- My goodness. - I trusted him.
- It's a good question. - I doubted him as well.
This is the film you talked about when we had sashimi at your place.
Jong Shin came over...
and ate everything in the house.
(Embarrassed)
I got invited as the CEO of the agency Hyuk Kwon is in.
My contract ends in September.
- That's right. - Did you know?
- Of course I did. - You didn't make any gestures.
Gestures? Is this good?
(Jong Shin made everyone flustered.)
- What was that? - That's no way for a CEO to act.
- What was that? - There you go.
I made gestures.
(He's strange.)
Of course I'm going to sign him again.
He gave me a call late at night.
He told me that I hurt his pride...
by not talking about renewing the contract.
I told him that it goes without saying.
I asked him why he didn't ask me to remain in the agency.
Another strange thing was...
he seemed to think I would accept readily if given the chance.
That's right.
That sums up the situation.
I told him to make an attempt to catch me.
- That's the thing. - Catch me if you can.
(You're the CEO.)
Hyuk Kwon didn't know the title of the film...
when he visited Radio Star last time.
- No. I didn't. - Do you know it now?
What's the title of the film?
- "A Break Alone". - "A Break Alone".
Jae Hyun will debut as a director.
What's the title of the film?
- The title was... - What was the title?
- "An Outing Alone". - No. It's "A Break Alone".
- It's "A Break Alone". - I'm sorry.
I read the article while I was abroad.
I watched the video and studied his face.
I watched the part many times.
Judging by his facial expression, he remembered the title...
in the middle of the conversation.
He remembered, but it was too late.
- It was too late to say anything. - It would have been strange.
It looked like he worried over the matter.
- Am I right? - No.
- What do you mean? - I didn't remember the title.
You didn't remember the title.
The title of the film...
is not memorable or easy to remember.
Even my manager thinks the title is "May 18".
(Only Chul Min was in "May 18".)
"May 18" is a 10-year-old film.
He was being ridiculous.
People could also confuse it with "Home Alone".
He constantly got the title wrong.
I realised then that everyone is confused about the title.
- It's not memorable. - Is it a comedy film?
- It's not. - Is it a suspense film?
- What's the genre? - It's drama.
- Romance. – It is a trifling drama.
You are the director of the film.
- It's about a stalker. - Did you write the script?
He wrote it himself.
It shows you what a trifling film it is.
I thought someone else had written the script.
He asked me to look over a scene.
I thought it was cool that he would direct the film.
I had certain expectations since he was also an actor.
When I asked who wrote the script, he told me that he did.
I couldn't believe how trifling it was.
I often talk to him and exchange text messages.
I have seen the way he writes.
His sentence goes all over the place when it's over 10 words.
He can't form sentences.
I couldn't believe that he wrote 100 pages of script.
We should stop the film from being released.
You're in the film.
There's nothing to be done.
Don't let it be released.
Only a handful of people should watch it.
You don't want it to be released.
Not a lot of movie theatres will play it.
Stay uninterested so that you don't watch it.
- I mean it. - Don't watch it.
Don't watch it.
Not even our family members will see the film.
He's making us curious in a strange way.
I'm not promoting the film.
This is strange.
In a month, "Curtain Call" will premiere.
- Are you in the film? - Yes.
Jang Hyun Sung is in the film.
That film is several thousand times better than "A Break Alone".
(Jae Hyun keeps getting attacked.)
Chul Min and Joon Hyuk's favourite actor is Park Bo Gum.
They like Park Bo Gum.
That's right.
I heard that Bo Gum even visits on days he doesn't have a shoot...
and runs errands for the makeup team.
He's the exact opposite of Jae Hyun.
Bo Gum is.
Jae Hyun tries to stay away even when he has a shoot.
- He's right. - Bo Gum is different.
He arrives at the shoot late and asks,
"Why are we fighting in this scene?"
- He is the director. - My goodness.
It happened when we were in "Punch".
It can happen due to a late script. What does Bo Gum do?
Everyone praises Bo Gum.
If someone asks him for an autograph,
he runs over and signs the autograph with care.
Once, he visited on a day he didn't have a shoot.
He was in the makeup room. I asked him, "Why are you here?"
He said, "I came because I was bored."
I guess it could happen,
but most actors don't visit the set when they don't have a shoot.
Even if they do, they sit next to the director.
I wondered what was going on when I saw him in the makeup room.
Then I started to get my makeup done.
After a while, I noticed that the process wasn't very smooth.
I checked who was helping in the mirror only to find Bo Gum.
- He is Kang Ha Neul's equal. - It will be a battle of good deeds.
The two of them should have a battle of good deeds.
- He's so sincere. - Kang Ha Neul is the same.
Did he twirl his hair for an updo?
(He's part of Team Park Bo Gum.)
(Please call us if you have seen Kang Ha Neul help with an updo.)
Joon Hyuk, I heard Bo Gum treated you so nicely...
that you thought he might like you.
- He has no faults. - That's right.
- That's Park Bo Gum. - He's like water.
He's clear. His eyes are clear too.
- He's like a black hole. - He draws people in.
Yes. Also, he steers clear from alcohol, cigarettes and coffee.
- He's so nice. - He's so nice.
Bo Gum needs to work with Jae Hyun.
Then he'll be tainted.
He'll become rough.
It will help him become a better actor.
I have nothing to say.
(He decides to remain silent.)
Joon Hyuk is well-known...
as Song Joong Ki's acting coach in "A Werewolf Boy".
I heard that you were touched...
when Song Joong Ki was crawling in front of you.
I have taught many actors how to move.
Not a lot of actors get into it on the first try.
It's because there are other people present.
- They become self-conscious. - That's right.
However, Joong Ki changed as soon as he arrived...
and began crawling on the floor.
I was moved.
It showed me that he is ready to get into his character.
- Please act as a wolf for us. - Please show us.
- Dong Woon, you should try it. - Okay.
I will learn.
I'm ready to get into the character.
Let's see if he is ready.
It's all about action and reaction. I will conduct a test.
- I'll wield a whip. React to it. - Should I get on the floor?
- No. Remain standing. - He'll wield a whip.
(Cracking)
All right.
Do you make actors do this as soon as you meet them?
It's nice to meet you.
(He attacks with a greeting.)
It happens so suddenly.
Did he do okay?
It really feels like there's a whip.
(Cracking)
(He falls as soon as he hears the whip.)
(Gu Ra is envious.)
(It's nice to meet you, too.)
- This is interesting. - Dong Woon is ready.
- How did you act like a wolf? - Show us.
Four-legged animals are sensitive to sound.
There is a halt in their movements.
You have probably seen cats do it.
They walk and...
(He demonstrates a cat's movement.)
They walk and...
- My goodness. - Then they move again.
- He really seems like a cat. - I look for these things.
- Characteristics. - I look for characteristics.
They follow a smell.
They do this.
(Sniffing)
For goodness' sake.
(You smell bad.)
My goodness.
(Don't come near me.)
(It's a smell he cannot accept.)
- He smells strange. - That was great.
- How do wolves move? - This is what I do.
- I bend my knee... - It's a wolf.
and curve my back.
Then I lift up my chin.
(He lifts his chin up.)
You need to make sudden movements.
Crouch like this.
(He is mirroring Joon Hyuk's movement.)
Then you walk.
Is Dong Woon doing a good job? He's a member of Beast.
Beast.
He's a beast.
(It's a wordplay.)
- What is he talking about? - "He's a beast."
He and I would make good friends.
"He is a beast."
(It's a funny sentence.)
He's an old man.
- I have three children. - That's right.
- They love the Tyrannosaurus Rex. - How do you act as one?
A Tyrannosaurus Rex has short arms.
They walk like this.
(He turns into a Tyrannosaurus Rex.)
(Groaning)
My goodness.
He looks similar.
The arms move like this.
They have short arms.
Joon Hyuk has taught miming at the Korea National University of Arts...
for eight years.
He is a talented mime.
He has performed in France as well.
Would you show us your mime?
- The music is ready. - He's cool.
This is a performance...
I learned from my teacher at France.
My teacher taught me this performance.
- It's titled "Carpenter". - "Carpenter".
- "Carpenter". - Let's see it.
(He starts with planning.)
(It really looks like he's planning.)
- He's planning. - He's talented.
(He's absorbed.)
(The next process involves nailing.)
He's using a hammer.
(His fingers shake from the impact.)
He's nailing.
(They look like students absorbed in a lecture.)
(He makes adjustments with a chisel.)
He's using a chisel.
(He mimes a situation in which a chisel is stuck to the wood.)
(His left hand is fixed on the spot.)
It got stuck.
(The second attempt is a success.)
(Satisfied)
(Realistic acting shined in his mime performance.)
I covered the highlights.
It must be hard.
Jae Hyun's face is clouded since he didn't talk about the film.
- I know. - He promoted himself.
- He promoted himself instead. - This isn't why I brought him here.
I shouldn't have brought Chul Min.
Joon Hyuk is here for a talent show.
Frankly, it is a bit embarrassing to promote my own film.
I had planned to stay in the background, but this is bad.
I'm here to promote the film.
(He shows his loyalty.)
When Joon Hyuk was performing in France,
he bumped into someone at the night market and almost died.
What happened?
I didn't have much money when I was in France,
so I often went to the night market.
I heard that it was dangerous, but being poor left me no choice.
I bumped into someone.
He was Senegalese.
I couldn't speak French very well.
I should have said, "I am sorry."
You could have mimed the apology.
- What? - You could have done this.
That would have worked.
This is too much for bumping into someone.
It's too servile.
(Miming and a servile facial expression would work anywhere.)
I take it that you didn't say, "I am sorry."
- I said something else by accident. - What did you say?
- "Why?" - Really?
- You made a mistake. - I said it politely.
"Why?"
It would have been irritating to him.
He said something.
I said even more politely, "Why?"
He probably took it as, "Why, you little..."
"Why?"
His friends began to gather around.
The situation was becoming worse.
I realised my French wasn't working, so I ran as I said, "Why?"
It probably sounded like, "Why, you little..."
(Why, you little...)
- I almost died that day. - You couldn't speak French.
The story had nothing to do with the film.
You're right.
Please bring it up from time to time.
(He changed his tactic.)
We asked the three actors...
who starred in Jae Hyun's first film...
to judge him as a director.
The assessments are divided.
Hyuk Kwon said that he is a reasonable director.
I see.
The show is finally moving along.
Chul Min said that he is trash.
(Chul Min said that he is trash.)
(Everyone is laughing.)
He was very frank.
I shouldn't have brought him here.
Joon Hyuk said that he's an honest director.
He's nice.
Let's hear why each actor gave such assessments.
Why did you say he's reasonable?
Because it's his own film, he can't help but be reasonable.
That's right.
There's no other way.
The cost adds up when the shoot drags on.
Don't be obsessed with being funny...
just because you are on Radio Star.
I'm sure there are other instances of me being reasonable.
- Are there other instances? - Of course there are.
- Give me some time. - He needs time to think.
Let's hear from Joon Hyuk.
Why did you say he's honest?
When there's a problem,
- he is frank about it. - He tells you what he doesn't like.
No. It's not that. He wouldn't know what's going on.
I see.
Even though he's a director, he wouldn't know what's going on.
"In this scene, do what you want to do."
(I have no clue.)
He doesn't pretend to know.
I see.
Some directors waste time doing that, but he is honest.
That's the reason why I used such a harsh word.
Whether it be a walk-through or mise-en-scene,
He is frank when he doesn't know something.
He doesn't know most things.
(He fails to mince his words.)
That aspect can either be described as honesty...
or an object inside a trash can.
Perhaps I was too straightforward.
It could have been nice since he's unlike most directors.
Of course.
It was nice that we could communicate...
without a wall separating us.
- He directed us... - That was nice.
- through communication. - However,
the problem lies in the completed work.
(He attacks Jae Hyun again.)
How many people need to watch the film for it to break even?
The film breaks even...
when the it accumulates 150,000 viewers.
150,000 viewers.
An independent film rarely gets 30,000 to 40,000 viewers.
They throw a party if it accumulates 10,000 viewers.
- 100,000 admissions is a big deal. – It is an impressive feat.
If the film crosses 150,000 admissions,
will you give incentives to the actors and staff members...
That you haven't paid?
Chul Min is in no position to speak.
- What do you mean? - Chul Min caused...
a big accident during the shoot.
What did he do?
The scene involved people drinking at a round table.
He added unnecessary ad-libs and slapstick humour.
He caused an actress to fall and break her tailbone.
Really?
He's a mess.
(He has nothing to say.)
Let me elaborate.
It was a karaoke scene and we were supposed to have fun.
"This is fun. What should we sing?" "How about this song?"
He didn't yell "cut".
He didn't know where to cut.
(He attacks him suddenly.)
He had to stop you.
He wasn't even ready.
There was no storyboard.
He wasn't prepared at all.
He just let us do our thing and rode on our coattails.
He just never yelled "cut".
We just keep going until we hear the word "cut".
You never stop on your own.
We were forced to keep going, so we ended up...
getting physical and bumped into each other.
"Don't push me."
The acting got a bit out of hand.
- It went too long. - Who...
is responsible for the fractured tailbone?
It is Director Jo's fault for not being able to stop us...
- at the right time. - Wait.
There's a reason I gave Chul Min a gift card to cast him.
I told him, "Chul Min, don't ad-lib this time."
"Prove that you can act and follow instructions."
That's it.
(He's drinking out of frustration.)
I got angry.
"He's about to stand up."
(Chul Min kept improvising.)
He shouldn't stand up, but he did and started to move around.
Then, he hugged the woman next to him.
She was wearing high heels and she fell...
and landed on her shoes which was how she hurt her tailbone.
I didn't need or want Chul Min to go beyond the script.
(He's upset.)
- I'm angry now. - May I speak?
- May I speak? - Yes.
There's a part where I teach yoga.
I stuck to the script.
I held myself back, but the karaoke scene kept going.
- We'd done everything. - In the script.
We'd done as we were told and even a bit more, but he said,
"One more shot."
He had no idea if the scene was good or not.
(He jumps up as if he were electrocuted.)
- "One more shot." - "One more shot."
He was frustrated because he had to pick a scene and he couldn't.
We did all sorts of things, so he'd have a lot to choose from...
and our passion went too far.
Unfortunately, an actress got hurt in the process.
- She was treated for a month. - Really?
Of course, I paid for the treatment but I still felt bad.
She said she felt better after a month,
- but she texts me sometimes. - About the pain?
"It still hurts sometimes when I cough."
The thing is, I don't tell Chul Min every single detail.
I am a year older than him.
He doesn't know what really happened.
He called to tell me that story four times.
I know this.
"You're ruining my project."
"Most of our budget went to medical bills."
"She called again."
"She's in too much pain to work and I must compensate her."
"She's in a two-person ward."
Why do you tell me all that?
(Why did I bring him with me today?)
Jae Hyun, your movie was well-received by people...
from the Busan International Film Festival.
- That fact... - Is that actually true?
He insisted on mentioning that on the show.
What did they say?
How did they react?
- Be honest. - Your laughter gets on my nerves.
(Jae Hyun's really upset.)
- What were the comments? - Tell us.
Many directors come to Busan for the film festival.
- Director Jung Ji Young... - Jung Ji Young.
He saw my movie and texted me what he thought.
(It's a text review.)
- What did he say? - He'll show us instead.
- It's here. - What does it say?
"I'm shocked. I can't believe it's your first project."
"I mean it. I'm in a taxi on my way to meet somebody."
This was his reply.
"Gasp! You flatter me."
Sabrina Baracetti, the President of Udine Far East Film Festival...
said I portrayed emotion well and used the lapse of time...
to show what I'm capable of and it's a moving debut.
That was her impression.
We saw three glowing reviews.
There's a movie critic called Darcy Paquet.
He said...
Keep it short.
I... No, what he said was...
You...
Keep it short.
- His comment was short. - What was it?
"It was good because it seemed real."
He saw my movie and thought...
it was good because it seemed real.
I think becoming a director made him anxious.
He said so himself. "Now that I'm a director,"
"I focus on the praise and ignore the criticisms."
I hope you learn something and never direct again.
(Don't direct anything again.)
Chul Min said that...
he stuck to the script for which he played a yoga instructor.
Did you do all the yoga moves yourself?
- Actually... - I did them perfectly.
- Really? - He's good at it.
I created the character with him in mind.
Can you show us?
Can you do what Yoo Ji Tae did in "Old Boy"?
- Of course. That's nothing. - Is it really?
Show us some basic moves.
- Just one then. - Okay.
(He's energetic.)
This should do it.
(It's an easy split.)
Are your trousers okay? They might tear.
I can't go further because of my trousers. Shall I try?
- No. - My stylist got him those.
(He's leaning forward.)
(He doesn't hesitate.)
This is how I sleep at night.
It's so relaxing.
Can you bend over backwards?
Don't force it, though.
Like this?
Can you sleep like that?
- Can you get up? - I eat like this.
After Jae Hyun got the synopsis,
he showed it to director Kim Gi Deok.
Did he really criticise it?
That's not what you expected, is it?
He didn't criticise it. He pointed something out.
That's the truth.
I didn't show him anything. I just told him the plot.
He listened, then thought for a bit...
My hand disappeared.
He's so distracting.
- Put it back in. - I'll help.
- That jacket... - This is an important story.
Stick your hand this way.
It might be a tall order, but can we start over?
I'll call someone else.
I'll get someone else.
I was so shocked when I couldn't see my hand.
- I have them now. - Congratulations.
- Back to the story. - What did he say?
I talked to him and told him the plot of my movie.
He said that my plot would only make about 20 minutes of film.
He said it wouldn't be enough.
I wrote the script thinking he was wrong...
and that I could make a full-length movie.
Then, I got stuck after about 30 scenes.
I'd run out of things to show just 30 scenes into the movie.
- It's hard. - So...
I started adding stories of people I knew.
- Did you look them up? - Their fights.
That's not creating.
(This is unbelievable.)
It's good information.
He just pieced some stories together.
(Hyuk Kwon, you too?)
You can't say that.
Don't let him get to you. Don't become like him.
That was a perfect description. It's pieced together.
- You need to stay alert. - I'll try.
(He's sighing.)
Today's guests are here to promote their movie,
but their teamwork is horrible.
(The team split.)
(He's sad and he's happy.)
Hyuk Kwon, are you friends with Kim Hee Won and Bae Seong Woo?
Did you three stay up all night without any alcohol?
Do you not drink?
He must.
They asked me to join them at a cafe.
- Hee Won and Seong Woo? - Yes.
They met up there for a chat.
We didn't talk about much, but we ended up...
talking outside in one of our houses.
Then, we had a coffee at a convenience store then went home.
Doesn't Seong Woo drink?
Only when there's a woman.
(I see.)
That's a great piece of information.
Thank you.
What about Hee Won?
He also drinks when there are women.
(Oh, dear.)
- Does he drink? - Yes.
- Around women. - What about you?
I drink with or without women.
He drinks more with women.
- He drinks less with women. - Does he?
It is a different skill.
In Joon Hyuk's pre-taping interview,
he told too many inappropriate stories that we can't possibly air.
Can you tell us one?
- Are you sure? - Give it a go.
Switch a few words and tone it down, so that we can hopefully air it.
I once climaxed while I was swimming in the army.
You felt ecstatic.
- Say you felt excited. - You felt ecstatic.
I got excited while I was swimming in the army.
I almost drowned.
What happened was...
I joined the special forces, and we trained at night.
We had to swim to a certain point and back.
- Totally naked. - I see.
Yes, stark naked.
We stripped and jumped in when we heard the whistle.
We were hot-blooded and anything will set us off.
I was swimming when suddenly...
Suddenly...
(This is exciting.)
I felt seaweed.
I was naked.
- Stop right there. - Seaweed.
- Seaweed? - I got tangled up.
I was naked.
(It's the attack of the giant seaweed.)
I was swimming...
(He felt it.)
(Oh, no. Save me.)
I think we can air this.
That one's okay.
I almost drowned.
I wasn't expecting that. That was different.
I told this story to a friend, and he went and bought some seaweed.
(A friend bought seaweed.)
Maybe to set it up in his bathtub.
- One more. - Tell another story.
The school I went to...
- was coed. - I'm excited already.
It was a coed school where...
we shared the gate. In the middle of the trail...
was a cheap replica of the Venus statue.
Someone had scribbled on the statue with a black marker.
- They drew hair... - I see.
- in the crucial areas. - As teenagers would.
The next morning was total chaos.
Girls were screaming their heads off.
I went up to see if there was a fight.
The security guard was short.
He was clinging to the statue with a small rag.
(He wipes with fervour.)
There were soap bubbles everywhere.
Girls were screaming in horror.
Okay. I liked that one too.
He was just doing his job.
- He had to. - It was his job.
He had to clean the statue.
Thank you.
That was funny.
- Okay. - Joon Hyuk moves very fast.
You are a good storyteller.
It makes sense.
- It's probable. - The seaweed story was the best.
The seaweed was a hit.
Special forces soldiers will identify with him.
Seaweed...
It wraps around anything it touches.
You could say...
- It was beyond your control. - You were lucky.
- It wasn't luck. - I learned something new that day.
(He learned it today.)
We're exchanging information.
- I almost died at the time. - I'm sure you did.
Joon Hyuk used to be a quiet child but you were selected...
to join special forces because of your looks.
I look strange with short hair...
because of my eyes.
- I just stood still. - I see why.
I was standing still and someone said, "You!"
I looked up.
They picked three of us...
and drove us in a Jeep early one morning to a valley.
It was mid-winter and the stream had frozen over.
A few other Jeeps arrived...
and an instructor in a red cap came up.
He said, "Wash." Then he tossed us a few buckets.
He threw us a few buckets.
"Wash."
I'd heard something about the special forces.
Someone had told me about them.
You have to impress them.
Do that, and they'll love you.
Because it was so cold,
the others were shaking and wincing.
I decided to put on a show.
I smashed through the ice and splashed cold water all over me.
I grit my teeth. It was so cold.
The instructor noticed me and said,
"Come here."
I yelled out my name and walked up to him.
- He took my bucket. - And?
He whacked me in the face with it.
I wondered why.
"You'll catch a cold."
(He was worried about him.)
(It's another pass.)
That was funny.
It was short and funny.
That was great.
He could conquer any talk show.
He could survive anywhere.
That's where it started to go wrong.
Well done.
You win the show.
You beat everyone today.
(Everyone's crying with laughter.)
When Chul Min wasn't with an agency 10 years ago,
Jae Hyun scouted him to join his agency...
and you didn't sign a contract or receive any down payment.
Must I explain all that?
- Please. - "Mokpo the Harbour".
- It was after that. - I see.
Jae Hyun was the lead and I was a supporting actor.
- My character was important. - It wasn't.
He made it important.
What happened?
Jae Hyun asked the director who I was...
and found out that I was a stage actor in Daehangno.
He then came to see me in a play.
He was pleasantly shocked.
He acted like a madman asking me to work with him.
- Like a madman? - He said...
he wanted to work with me.
- No contract? - No contract, no down payment.
- For how many years? - No pressure.
A bit over 10 years.
That's quite a long time.
He wouldn't leave.
Did you ask him to leave?
- I was losing money. - That happens...
more than people think.
- Can I explain? - He ate and drank a lot.
He spent too much money.
Are there any agencies who want you?
Chul Min.
After about 12 years or so, I'd become good friends...
with my manager.
He wanted to quit.
He was behind in pay.
(Oh, dear.)
I need to clarify that he got paid eventually.
He got paid but not at the time.
I asked if he really wanted...
to leave the company or switch jobs entirely.
He said he wanted to be a manager somewhere else.
I thought about it and decided to leave with him.
I wanted to continue working with him...
because we had a great partnership and he was practically a brother.
Jae Hyun called me. He said, "Chul Min."
"I heard you want to leave."
"Please stay a little longer."
It sounds almost real when you whisper.
It's true.
- What then? - He begged me...
- and I stayed six more months. - Whispering has a special effect.
He didn't tell me to leave.
We'll let you make one comment.
This is like a court drama.
- One comment. - Will you speak?
Whisper.
Times were tough.
(He whispers.)
(He's incredible.)
Very tough.
Why? Because he didn't leave?
(He nods.)
- Were you being polite? - I couldn't fire him.
You couldn't fire him.
It was a tough time. I feel like crying now.
(It's unbelievable.)
- Chul Min. - I feel emotional.
You think your looks is an advantage.
That's what you say.
We asked you to mark your colleagues based on looks...
and you didn't even consider Joon Hyuk.
He has many strengths and is a great actor,
but based on looks alone, he shouldn't even be here.
(What?)
He's a perfect supporting actor.
(Is that a compliment?)
Do you admit Jae Hyun's handsome?
He has a sizzling glare.
- Jae Hyun... - At one time,
in that one movie.
He thinks his eyes are his strength, so when we performed on stage...
he suggested we don't wear makeup.
He suggested we show our faces...
so we didn't even hire a makeup team.
While we weren't around he coloured in his eyebrows.
(He is knocked out.)
We came in and asked what he was doing.
"Nothing."
"What's that?"
He was filling in his eyebrows while we weren't around...
to make his eyes stand out.
He doesn't have that look any more.
This is the truth.
That's true.
(My eyebrows are my pride.)
Joon Hyuk said this about Chul Min.
"He understands and accepts disadvantages."
He's older and more experienced.
Actors tend to end up waiting for long hours.
Sometimes we show up only to find out...
that the scene was deleted.
Someone of his calibre could express his anger,
but he lets it all go.
- Really? - He calms the others.
That's not what Jae Hyun said.
I wasn't sure if I should say this or not.
It goes against what we said about Chul Min so far.
He wasn't like that when he worked with me.
I helped him grow up.
I hear many witness accounts of that.
I see that Joon Hyuk knows me very well.
I became more like that ever since I left Jae Hyun's agency.
All I saw and learned from Jae Hyun was...
how to lord over others.
Then I left and realised I should be considerate.
- I should... - You were wrong.
Now I see how important it is to care for others.
(They throw punches at each other.)
Jae Hyun said he's good at scenes where he hits others.
Not only does he do it in one take,
but it's so loud that they reduce the volume.
- Really? - In "Punch", Hyuk Kwon...
Did I hit you twice?
Did you cry?
- Not out of emotion. - Did you shed tears?
I cried because it hurt.
Did he punch you?
What happened?
I lash out unexpectedly during a chat.
I told him beforehand that I'm great at hitting people.
I suggested I hit him hard and properly...
so it's over in one take.
He agreed.
Hyuk Kwon was cuffed at the time.
He was in handcuffs and I slapped him.
He got up and fell over.
The camera followed him perfectly.
He sat back down in his chair and we got it in one take.
He sat down...
and shed tears a bit bigger than a chicken's dropping.
They were the size of a goose's dropping.
Three tears fell.
I was so surprised.
"Why are you crying?"
"I cry a lot."
(He's embarrassed.)
Did you and Chul Min have to hit each other?
I'd like to.
I won't hit you for real.
Shall we hit each other once?
First you, then me.
This is where things usually go wrong.
We do this.
When we practice, we think it is all fine.
The distance and angle are perfect.
But when the cameras roll, this happens.
- To the ear. - In real life,
our arm reaches farther.
We reach farther than during the rehearsal.
I'm really good at that.
I'll show you.
Show them what?
It's payback time.
I'll slap you to show them how to do it.
- It won't hurt at all. - Don't do that.
- Let me show them. - No, don't do that.
Here I go.
- Go ahead. - Put your hand away.
Forget it.
(He hits Chul Min's hand angrily.)
(Chul Min enjoys teasing Jae Hyun.)
- Please explain us how you do it. - Does it not hurt at all?
- It doesn't hurt? - You should control wrist strength.
Make a slap sound but control wrist strength...
- so you don't hit hard. - I see.
- Watch me. - I'm curious.
Don't do that.
- Hyuk Kwon, could you show us? - Right. You're my junior actor.
It really doesn't hurt.
Tell them honestly if it hurts or not.
- Does it hurt or not? - It hurts.
(He's completely honest.)
- It must hurt. - I think it hurts.
- It doesn't hurt. - It doesn't when you slap yourself.
- It looked like it hurt. - Hasn't my cheek turned red?
- He made us laugh again. - He's about to cry because of you.
- He's putting on an act. - His cheek turned red.
- His cheek turned red. - Look.
It turned a little bit red,
- but it doesn't hurt that much. - I'll slap you this time.
(I'll have my revenge.)
(It might be the way they show their affection for each other.)
Hyuk Kwon played Gil Tae Mi in the popular drama,
- "Six Flying Dragons". - Gil Tae Mi.
He wore more colourful makeup than the actresses in the drama.
You got a lot of offers for TV commercials, right?
I heard you declined all the offers.
I got an offer for a makeup product advertisement.
A makeup product? I see.
I also got offers from an outdoor brand and an insurance company.
What does Gil Tae Mi have to do with outdoor clothing?
I dress up as Gil Tae Mi at first. Then I remove my makeup...
and go outside in outdoor clothes.
(He goes out in outdoor clothes after removing the makeup.)
- It makes sense. - That's funny.
- Why did you decline the offer? - Does it make you feel liberated?
- What else? - Did you film it?
People say I'm weird when I say this,
"I don't think an actor should film TV commercials."
It doesn't have to be that way.
- Since I'm not sure about it... - It makes me feel ashamed.
It's a matter of choice.
I also got an offer from a home appliance brand.
Gil Tae Mi and Gil Sun Mi appear together in this one.
- I see. - We shout, "Big sale!"
(Big sale)
I felt apologetic to my agency as I'd declined all the offers,
so I asked the advertiser to put on a message on screen...
saying, "All the performance fee of the model has been..."
- "donated to charity." - I see.
I accepted the offer to donate my performance fee to charity.
The advertiser said that there would be a lot of texts on screen...
saying, "Big sale."
- I understand. - There was no room for more texts.
- I think that's right. - Right.
Like I said, he has a big heart. He's firm in his belief.
- He's clear about his values. - That's right.
It still hurts.
He has a big heart.
I admire him more than anyone else.
I really adore him.
You failed to do as you planned, right?
I hit him harder than I planned.
(He tells the truth.)
I'm sorry.
Hyuk Kwon, you used to run away...
when people ask you for your autograph, but recently...
you say, "I'm not Park Hyuk Kwon." Is that true?
When I shop at a supermarket, some say, "You're him, right?"
Then, I say, "No."
They can't talk to you anymore.
But you can't deny when people say, "You are Park Hyuk Kwon, right?"
- I say, "I'm not." - Really?
When people don't say your name,
you could say, "No."
But you can't deny when they say your name, right?
I say, "I just look like him."
(He's consistent.)
- My goodness. - It's awkward to admit it...
- when people ask me if it was me. - It can be awkward.
- Have you not made your autograph? - No.
- I see. - But...
I think it's silly...
to make one now just because I said that on TV.
- Do you just write your name? - Yes. I write my name and the date.
- I see. - Good. That's what an autograph is.
Many people ask me for autographs...
of Park Bo Gum or Son Ye Jin. I give them the autographs.
I can sign an autograph exactly how they do.
(He signs an autograph for other actors.)
I signed an autograph for a lot of actresses.
Son Ye Jin. Um Ji Won.
- I signed autographs for them. - I see.
People find it fun and keep the autographs.
I bragged that I can imitate their handwriting.
It's rarer.
- Park Bo Gum is popular recently. - I see.
I write "Park" bigger than the other letters. "Park Bo Gum".
(Come and get Park Bo Gum's autograph.)
Hyuk Kwon, you must meet your fans often.
I hear you split the bill with your fans.
- We used to split the bill equally. - He couldn't afford to treat them.
Many celebrities do that.
Some of you might not know...
as you haven't gone through it, but all the unknown celebrities do that.
- I used to meet my fans... - When you hosted an internet show?
That's right. I was going to meet with my fans.
- They asked me to go to Sincheon. - Sincheon?
But it wasn't the area where we used to meet.
I said it was too far. They said, "Just meet us there as we asked."
I had no choice.
We were going to split the bill, so I went there to meet them.
Hyuk Kwon, you've had many fans since your early years, right?
- Of course. - Since I was a theatre actor.
You used to split the bill with them but now you treat them to a meal.
I hear your fans are proud of you.
I met them for the first time when I was young.
- I've known them for over 15 years. - That's right.
I didn't want it to be a meeting between a star and his fans.
So I ask them to treat me like their friend.
As we got closer, they started to look down on me.
Fans look down on celebrities these days.
How do they look down on you?
They cut me off while I'm talking saying, "Be quiet, Hyuk Kwon."
(Be quiet, Hyuk Kwon.)
Do you try to stay with your fans until late night?
I hear your fans are baffled when you do that.
I thought they wanted to hang out with me longer.
So I waited until they went home.
- I see. - They say, "I have to go home now."
(Please let me go home.)
(I didn't know that.)
I have a question for Joon Hyuk.
Joon Hyuk, your parents disapproved of your acting career.
So you learned car maintenance...
just to show to your parents. Is that true?
Yes, I took car maintenance classes.
I learned how to assemble a car engine one day.
I disassembled and reassembled a car engine.
I lacked some parts of the engine at first.
I thought it was weird that I didn't have all the parts.
So I disassembled and reassembled it all over again.
Then, I had some parts left.
- I didn't know what I did wrong. - That's weird.
You have an unusual talent.
- It could be dangerous. - It wasn't fun to me at all.
- I'm glad it wasn't fun to you. - So I tell my parents...
that I wanted to pursue my acting career.
While I was trying to become an actor,
I worked more than 1,000 different part-time jobs.
- I see. - I worked at a construction site.
While you worked at a construction site,
you were kicked out because you didn't know the jargon.
When you apply for a job at a construction site,
you're asked if you have experience.
- They hire experienced workers. - That's right.
I said I had done it a lot.
I lied to them about my experience.
The supervisor came up to me and told me...
- to bring a type of lumber. - Lumber?
I didn't know what he referred to, but I said, "Yes, Sir."
Then, I started to look for it.
I thought, "What does he mean?"
"Is it something to eat? Is it a shovel?"
I brought the wrong thing and got scolded.
- Let's do "yarikiri" today. - What does that mean?
It means you finish quickly and go home early.
- You just finish your workload. - That's right.
- Do they call it "yarikiri"? - Show hosts should do that too.
Once I'm done talking, I go home leaving you here.
- "I'll go home. I talked a lot." - "I'll go home. I've done enough."
That's how it should be.
Then, we'll stay and talk more.
(You can go home when you finish telling stories.)
The part time job that Joon Hyuk had the longest was...
motion capture for 3D games. He worked for almost all games.
I did it for almost all of Korean video games.
- Like what you showed to us before. - That's right.
- I see. - I see.
You have to take hundreds of shots for each game.
Could you explain about this job?
You click on the character to choose it.
I do the idle state before you choose a character...
- where I stand like this. - You place sensors on your body.
- That's right. - You place sensors on your body.
That's right.
- That's how characters stand. - Right.
When you click on the character, it starts moving.
- This is how we do it. - I see.
- What about a zombie? - Can you move like a zombie?
There are a lot of zombie games.
You can take a lot of different poses.
- Their bodies move by themselves. - That's right.
They move differently.
Normally, people stand and walk straight forward...
while some zombies move as if the waist was pulled this way.
- Right. - I see.
Other zombies move as if their chest was pulled.
- I see. - That's how you walk like a zombie.
- What about women? - As for women,
you put water balloons on your chest with sensors placed on those.
- You put sensors on your hips, too. - They usually do that.
It is to exaggerate the movements.
- I see. - They bounce when you shake them.
Is it inappropriate?
- You're just explaining the motion. - That's right.
- I see. - I didn't know actors do that.
- It's fascinating. - It's a good job...
because I can use my acting skills to make money...
- I understand. - as an actor.
Jae Hyun, when you read...
the article about Gook Jin and Kang Susie, you were surprised.
Do you think they look great together?
- Do you think they do? - What do you think?
As I was watching TV, I was touched.
I watched you two announcing about it on the show.
I was very touched. I felt the sincerity.
Okay. Let's move on. Joon Hyuk.
- Why did you stop it? - Actually,
I once filmed a kissing scene with Susie.
(He ambushes with a confession.)
- Really? In what drama? - When? Don't lie to us.
Can I say this? It aired on TV.
- Go ahead. - In what drama?
We played in "Can Love Be Refilled?".
- It was a sitcom aired on KBS. - It was a sitcom.
We played as a couple in the drama.
In the scene where I proposed to her,
I kissed her lightly.
The director stopped us and said,
"Although it's a sitcom, since it's a wedding proposal..."
"I think it'd be better if you kiss her more passionately."
Would it be okay if I say this?
You kissed her before Gook Jin did.
- Can I go on? - Yes. Please go on.
- Is that okay? - Of course.
We filmed the kissing scene again,
but the scene we filmed first was aired in the end.
- Dong Won. - Yes?
(Susie and Chul Min played as a couple in the sitcom.)
(She runs toward him,)
(and she kisses him.)
(Gook Jin might think it's a passionate kiss.)
You don't mind, do you?
- You two are officially a couple. - Right.
- You acted well. - He seems upset.
You're not angry, are you? Your ears turned red.
- He's calm now. - His eyes are teary.
- His eyes are teary, right? - He's about to cry.
- His eyes are teary. - I'm embarrassed.
- Let's move on. - He's about to cry.
- We were just acting. - Now, Joon Hyuk...
- Of course. - I had no feelings for her.
(It was just a performance.)
At the Drama Awards in 2013, Jae Hyun was caught...
glaring at Suzy while she was delivering her speech.
That's right.
(Suzy won the Best Actress Award.)
I will continue to try my best.
(Jae Hyun is staring at her.)
(Even when everyone else is laughing,)
(he looks upset.)
Since then, you keep smiling at award ceremonies.
- That's true. I'll explain. - Right.
It was so hot in the venue. Everyone was feeling hot.
Even the chair was so uncomfortable.
After sitting there for four hours I came to look...
(He came to look serious four hours later.)
like this.
I regretted that I had made my face look like that.
So, I always smile at an award ceremony these days.
(He smiles.)
You look awkward.
You don't know when you'd get caught on the camera. I was applauding,
but I was feeling so hot.
I guess I frowned.
When you get old...
- your face becomes droopy. - The skin sags.
- And... - It's not the same for everyone.
I heard this from an actress.
She's about my age and started to wear braces on her lower teeth.
I asked her why she wore braces at her age as she's not very young.
She said, "I didn't know that my lower teeth look like this."
She hadn't seen her lower teeth on TV before then.
As she got older, her lower teeth started to show.
- Because her face became droopy? - Really?
She saw how her lower teeth look on TV and decided to wear braces.
Her teeth looked the same when she was in her 20s.
I can't tell you who she is.
She's about my age. She once appeared on Radio Star.
(He gives two hints.)
You shouldn't have said that. Let's move on.
(I shouldn't have said that.)
Chul Min, you're the undisputed king of ad-lib.
You were shocked when the writer asked you not to change lines.
When the writer finishes writing the script,
the staff prints and hands it out to the actors.
I saw a message written next to my first line.
It read, "Please say the exact words on the script."
Were you shocked?
Was it written on all the scripts?
Yes, it was.
That means all the actors read the message.
It was the most embarrassing moment in my life.
I realised that I was doing something wrong.
Too much is as bad as too little.
I realised that I was overdoing.
I went to see the director and said I should leave the drama.
It wasn't a very big part, and I heard...
the director hadn't decided if I'd play in the drama to the end.
I said, "I think I should leave as I don't suit the writer's style."
- And then... - My goodness.
Since he's telling his story, his eyes look different now.
(Jae Hyun ambushes him.)
His eyes didn't look like that of a person.
(These are not the eyes of a person.)
(Did I really look like that?)
Didn't Jae Hyun cheer you up back then?
Not at all.
(Jae Hyun sighs.)
It was a good timing to say something touching.
I think I should tell you this. In fact...
Chul Min wasn't the original guest.
An actress named Chae Soo Bin was going to be here.
- Chae Soo Bin? - Yes. Actress Chae Soo Bin.
She was invited because...
my play will begin on October 23rd.
- He wants to promote his play too. - That's right.
- He wants to promote both. - That's not cool.
I told you, I don't promote my dramas or plays.
Why are you here then?
- I'm just giving information. - That's right.
It's not like I make a profit from this.
My face is turning red again.
Soo Bin wasn't available today because she's filming her drama.
Chul Min came here instead of her,
and he's ruining the mood on this show.
Chul Min was about to tell a good story about him.
- He was about to tell the story. - Is there a good story about me?
- Is there? - Yes.
If you had waited just a while,
- he would've told a good story. - It's a really good story.
(I should've been patient.)
Chul Min, is that true that you were touched by Jae Hyun...
when you were going through a hard time?
(As soon as he finishes his question...)
- I shouldn't have said that. - It isn't true.
(They miss the right time for a touching moment again.)
- But it's written on the script. - You need to tell us.
You told them a story during the interview.
- You can't say it's not true. - I don't want to talk about it.
It's written on the script, but he's denying it.
(He feels dizzy.)
Oh, that?
Oh, I think I remember it now.
I'm not sure if it's touching.
I think it'll probably be edited out.
If I have to say something...
As I went on talking about his flaws,
the writer asked me about good things about him.
I said, "I have no good story about him."
The writer asked me again to tell a good story about him.
I said, "Should I make up a story?" So, I almost made up a story.
- Did you exaggerate a lot? - Yes.
- Please tell us. - Unexpectedly, Jae Hyun is...
Even if he earned a lot of money and played in many good dramas,
he's thrifty.
For little things in life,
he never become greedy. He doesn't buy expensive things.
He doesn't show off either.
One day, we were going down the mountain.
He took his shoes off,
and I saw a hole in his sock, which was shocking as he's a star.
He said, "I have a lot of socks like this. It's okay. It doesn't show."
I realised how down-to-earth he is as he lives like normal people.
However, he spends a lot of money sometimes.
He has close friends who are actors like me or film producers...
whom he hangs out with often.
Since his friends are not well off,
he plans a trip for them paying all the expenses.
He plans trips occasionally so we can enjoy good times together.
That's about it.
(The story has ended.)
I spent a few days to come up with this story.
(Jae Hyun's loyal friend is criticising him.)
Joon Hyuk went to g.o.d's concert for a pantomime performance,
- and something baffling happened. - That's right.
My pantomime performance was...
to connect the stories between their songs.
The saxophonist of the big band...
had indigestion and he couldn't perform in the rehearsal.
They found someone to replace him.
He came all the way from Seoul to Busan.
He put the sheet music on the floor and started to play the saxophone.
I was looking down at him from the stage.
While he was playing the saxophone looking down at the sheet music,
suddenly the fog started spreading which he hadn't expected.
- He couldn't see the sheet music. - That's right.
As the fog covers the sheet music, the saxophonist...
(He blows away the fog.)
He blew into the saxophone and then blew away the fog.
He kept repeating it.
- While he was doing it, - It must've been hard to breathe.
he fainted.
- Really? - Yes.
He fainted while playing the saxophone.
(He makes the hosts laugh by re-enacting the moment.)
Before you met your mother-in-law to ask for approval of marriage,
you made a plan to deceive her. What was your plan?
Both my wife and I are actors.
You can imagine how poor we must have been.
We didn't have any money since we weren't successful.
My wife is an only child, and her mother is a single mother.
I thought of how I get her approval of marriage.
I came up with a fake phone call.
"Hi. Yes. Did they send 200,000 dollars? Okay."
It's like a scene from a drama. Did you really do that?
I meant to do that,
- but I thought it wasn't right. - I see.
I thought it wasn't the right way to get her approval.
- I see. - I didn't sound convincing either.
I sat on my knees and told her my honest feelings.
I told her about my job and all, and that I love my wife.
I said I had a vision and I'd never let my wife go hungry,
but I wasn't sure if I could let her live in luxury.
- We have his picture, right? - Yes.
He and his wife played together in many dramas.
This is a scene from the drama they played in together.
- I remember that drama. - Right.
- Which one is your wife? - That's my wife.
- Is she? - Really?
She's the only woman in this picture.
(It's obvious.)
I thought she might be his wife.
What drama was that?
(Joon Hyuk punishes Dong Woon right away.)
She looks a little bit like Park Hee Jin.
- She has different looks. - She looks familiar.
- What is her name? - She's Jung Jin Hee.
Actress Jung Jin Hee.
Jin Hee, I love you.
- My goodness. - Wow.
He has such a good sense of humour.
- He keeps making us laugh. - Joon Hyuk...
Whenever he has a chance to talk,
he tells a lot of stories in a very short time.
(He's good at finding the right timing.)
You're watching a high-end music programme, Radio Star.
Today, we're with the guests who become more attractive as they age.
Today's theme is "The Song to Exude My Charm through..."
- "as an Old Guy". - "as an Old Guy".
First,
let's hear the song that Hyuk Kwon chose.
(It's the theme song of the movie "Christmas in August".)
- He has a similar voice to this. – It is from "Christmas in August".
He has a similar voice to that of Han Seok Kyu.
Is this my voice?
- No. - This is the original song.
(He's embarrassed.)
He just said, "Is this my voice?"
(His voice sounds like Han Seok Kyu's voice.)
- Han Seok Kyu sang this song. - He's under the same agency.
Why did you choose this song?
- Do you sing this song often? - Yes, I do.
His voice is similar to Han Seok Kyu's voice.
- Indeed. - He's good at singing too.
Hyuk Kwon will sing "Christmas in August".
("Christmas in August" by Park Hyuk Kwon)
(He's getting immersed in emotion.)
(He has a deep voice like Han Seok Kyu.)
- He sounds like Han Seok Kyu. - He has a similar voice.
- He sounds like Han Seok Kyu. - Indeed.
(Han Seok Kyu must be surprised.)
He sounds the same as Han Seok Kyu.
(Their voices sound so similar that Hyuk Kwon got confused.)
(He sounds more like Han Seok Kyu as I listen with my eyes closed.)
(You're smiling as if you were fine)
(But I know how you're feeling)
(His deep voice and the nostalgic lyrics...)
(remind us of the scenes from the 18-year-old movie.)
(I wish I could fall asleep right now)
(He sings high notes effortlessly.)
(He's amazing.)
(He has a sweet voice and he can sing in falsetto.)
He can sing in falsetto too.
(He mesmerises everyone.)
It's not an easy song to sing.
Thank you.
It's not an easy song to sing.
He's great.
He's amazing.
- You have such a great voice. - Indeed.
- He's a great singer, too. - That's right.
You use your singing skills...
to seduce women, right?
It's none of your business.
(He's good at avoiding questions.)
- I see. - All right.
Today was "Old Guys Special".
- Dong Woon, how do you feel? - I hope Kyu Hyun will...
get well soon.
I did my best today, but...
- You did a good job. - Thank you.
You blended in with us well.
- You were like seaweed. - Thank you.
I guess I did a very good job.
(He is being playful.)
They may appear to be old-fashioned guys,
but they have years of experiences, their own abilities...
and down-to-earth charms that people can achieve...
only through years of efforts.
I hope people will continue to love these four charming people.
I hope everyone loves these old guys.
Love the old guys.
Keep on loving the old guys.
"Love the old guys."
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
