("Highkick, Highkick Special")
(Lee Soon Jae, Choi Min Yong, Shin Ji, Kim Hye Seong)
You're too old to date.
(Porno Soon Jae doesn't hold back.)
- When should I move in together? - Are you talking about integration?
(What's the point of moving in if it is not that?)
(Watching pornography could be effective?)
(He collects axes, picks locks, and welds.)
(The secrets of the past 10 years are revealed.)
(We even talked to Seo Min Jung on the phone.)
(The "High Kick!" family is reunited.)
(The "Highkick, Highkick Special" begins now.)
Joining us today are actors from the legendary sitcom...
from 10 years ago, "High Kick!".
We named it the "Highkick, Highkick Special".
Our first guest...
was born in 1935.
He is 82,
and was born in the same year as Elvis Presley and Alain Delon.
- It is amazing. - He's a year older...
than Pope Francis.
He's been acting for 60 years and is a true national treasure.
He watched an adult film on TV once on "High Kick!".
That earned him the nickname "Porno Soon Jae".
Please welcome Actor Lee Soon Jae.
You would think of him first if you hear "Sudden Disappearance".
He played the prickly Min Yong whom all women loved.
For 10 years, all we saw were photos from fans,
but he made a comeback on "King of Mask Singer".
He's the icon of updates. It's actor, Choi Min Yong.
Our next guest was 26 when she appeared on the sitcom...
as Min Yong's ex-wife.
They had divorced and she had a son named Joon.
Joon who was just a 1-year-old back then, now is in 4th grade,
but our guest is still babysitting Kim Jong Min.
- Meet Shin Ji from Koyote. - Shin Ji.
Our last guest appeared as the multi-talented Min Ho,
but his girlfriend left...
and his younger brother Yoon Ho gained more popularity.
(Oh, dear.)
The last time he came on to promote a movie,
- he just showed his red underwear. - His underwear ripped.
- His underwear didn't rip. - It was his pants.
(It was his pants, not the underwear.)
We saw his underwear because his pants ripped.
He would have gained more popularity if that happened.
Our guest was concerned about his pants more than anything else.
- I remember that incident. - Let's welcome Actor Kim Hye Seong.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- It was a horror film. - That was a first.
Come on in.
- Hello. - Welcome.
(Everyone stands.)
- I met you recently. - We meet again.
We rarely stand to welcome a guest.
(Have a happy New Year.)
Your old fans were excited to hear you'd be on Radio Star.
I heard it was about "Highkick Special",
- so I wore my old outfit. - I see that.
- Is that from the show? - It is.
(He confesses in the bathroom.)
(What?)
Congratulations, ex-husband.
Thanks, ex-wife.
(It's the same cardigan.)
That design died out.
That's old-fashioned.
(He became an old person.)
I had no choice.
"High Kick!" is the focus,
so I think I should talk the way I talked in the sitcom.
- Are you acting? - Is that the set-up?
- No, it's because... - Just be yourself.
- Just make it natural. - Consider Soon Jae.
Should he pretend to be one of his characters?
He's odd.
(We aren't used to seeing characters like him on the show.)
Do you feel comfortable when you talk like that?
I haven't been on any show since "High Kick!".
My tone is stuck there.
(He really is prickly.)
It's been 10 years since we saw all 4 of you in a room.
Has it been that long since you met each other as well?
I haven't seen him in a while,
as well as everyone else.
I see Shin Ji on "Animal Farm" sometimes.
- "Animal Farm". - I quit that years ago.
- What? - I left the show long time ago.
He must be watching reruns of episodes that I'm in.
They do frequent reruns.
Didn't you leave 5 or 6 years ago?
It was a long time ago.
- Then recently... - Are you sweating?
(Did you see that?)
Soon Jae made some comments about us four hosts.
"Why won't Gook Jin just nab Susie?"
- "Why aren't they together?" - Right.
- Get married already. - That's what we've been saying.
When should we move in together?
Before the year-end would be nice.
It's already December.
This year's almost over.
Why do you need so much time to move in together?
We're talking about sharing a bed.
(He laughs out of embarrassment.)
- Right? - Of course.
What else would be the point?
(He's so direct.)
I'd like to ask your opinion on something, Sir.
These two met later on in life and are now in love.
- Shouldn't they get married soon? - Of course.
- He's hesitant. - Why?
- Is there a problem? - He's stalling.
He wants to date her a bit more.
You're too old to date.
- That's it. - That's what we tell him.
He won't listen.
- You might lose her. - Do you get it now?
- She seems like a nice lady. - She is.
- One down already. - Min Yong.
(He laughs.)
On Gu Ra's name, Soon Jae said, "It's not a good one."
"He should change it."
- He did well since. - Why...
Why did you take that name?
- It's my nickname. - Is that...
Is it because you're a chatterbox?
(He can't refute that.)
Do people your age use that word?
- We do. - Do you?
Back in our day,
"Gura" was Japanese for "Warehouse".
- A warehouse? - We called warehouses "Gura".
- A warehouse? - He's a warehouse.
- It was a warehouse? - A warehouse...
I will try to become a person who stores warmth in my heart.
- How about going as Kim Warehouse? - No thanks.
Hey, Warehouse.
Min Yong.
You made a comeback on "King of Mask Singer".
(He sang Na Hoon A's "Forever".)
(He made his TV comeback on "King of Mask Singer".)
He is an actor from sitcom who debuted 21 years ago.
It's Choi Min Yong.
(He shocked the panel with his appearance.)
It's been a long time.
Were you tricked into appearing on the show?
I'd heard it was our sitcom's 10th anniversary.
I was thinking I should go and greet the people.
- MBC's Mr. Cho gave me a call. - Yes, Mr. Cho.
"Min Yong."
- "You don't have anything to do." - Shouldn't you work?
"You might as well go on 'King of Mask Singer'. It's fun."
I told him not to mention it again...
because I knew the show is for serious artists and talent.
He told me not to worry, that they play recorded music...
and tape the singing beforehand.
- And when all is done... - It's all done live.
I thought I could practice really hard if that was the case,
make one great recording, play it and say hi.
I agreed to do the show and met the producer.
I met the producer and he asked me what I was talking about.
He asked where I'd heard that false information.
He said "King of Mask Singer" had never played a recording...
- on the show. - They don't do that.
- It's all done live. - It is always live.
They tricked you.
(He was a big catch.)
Anyway, I'd met the producer...
and he said, "It's all done live,"
in a cold tone of voice.
There was a karaoke nearby so I suggested we go there.
"I'll sing for you and you decide if I'm good enough."
We went and I paid 15 dollars for the session.
Just when I was about to sing,
he said to take out the echo.
He said to take out all the echo.
That's cruel.
(He passed the cruel audition and made it on the show.)
Have you been getting so many interview requests that...
you were worried the phone bill was going to cost a lot?
I talked to the staff writer of your show many times,
and I called her more often than she called me.
I think my service provider will be shocked.
Are you short on cash?
(No way.)
Everything's unlimited these days.
Good for you. Did you get that deal?
- I get unlimited text messaging. - Yes, there's that package deal.
Don't you text less these days?
Why would he text less?
A lot of people don't use instant messaging apps.
People use certain chatting applications for convenience.
Can I mention that app?
- Yes. - Just say that.
I don't use that.
Me, neither. Do you?
- You don't. Do you, Sir? - I don't.
- What? - He uses it.
- Kakao Talk. - Kakao Talk.
Kakao? What nonsense is that?
(What nonsense is that?)
"High Kick!" started 10 years ago...
and it was incredibly popular.
The highest viewer rating was 27.7 percent.
- It was huge. - It won 8 awards in 2007.
It was the most downloaded MBC show in 2007.
There are a few legendary clips that fans still talk about.
We asked our viewers to vote for their favorites...
and we searched three clips. Shall we have a look?
- Sure. - Here we go.
These are our viewers' top three favorite moments.
We'll start with the third.
(Buck-toothed Shin Ji is in third place.)
- Is that Min Jung? - Yes.
(Girls are teasing Min Jung over her huge lunchbox.)
(Buck-toothed Shin Ji comes to her rescue.)
(She spits all over the place.)
Those teeth stuck out way too much.
(Are you Seo Se Won?)
(He imitates the comedian.)
How dare you?
Nice fake teeth.
What a massive lunchbox.
That's her backpack, not her lunchbox.
It's her lunchbox.
How can that be a lunchbox? Get your eyes checked!
My goodness.
(Sorry, it's my lunchbox.)
(A match of interruptions is joint third place.)
- I remember this. - It's joint third place.
I've been somewhere.
- In the weekend... - Sister-in-law.
Please don't meddle...
I must. Since we're a family...
- We are, but you can't meddle... - Of course I can.
- No, you can't. - I simply can't...
Yes, you can.
(They're laughing.)
- Gosh, you're so sensitive. - If you know that, please...
Okay.
That was great.
(Charismatic Min Ho is second place.)
That's right. I need charisma.
- His face looks the same. - He's handsome.
I remember this scene, too.
I'll transform into a charismatic man.
To become charismatic,
I must study facial expressions of charismatic men.
He was cute back then.
- He was only a baby. - I know.
(His face is twitching.)
This scene is still funny.
(He's twitching his face.)
(Everyone strives to become charismatic.)
(Jung Il Woo played his younger brother.)
- It's Il Woo. - That's right.
Nice. It has begun.
I was watching TV.
So what?
I was watching TV.
So what?
(He glares at him.)
This is hilarious.
(He twitches his face.)
Okay. You can watch it.
It worked. Will it work on Grandpa?
- This is funny. - Move.
Grandpa.
- I want to watch a sitcom. - What did you say?
(He twitches his face at his grandpa.)
- He's being a bad grandson. - What's wrong with you?
He's being a bad grandson.
It's fun to watch it again.
It's fun.
Hey, let's go.
Why won't you study at home?
We'll study at our place since it's empty.
Don't go out when it's cold. Study at home.
I promised to go to Beom's place.
When will you come home?
Do I need to set a time?
(Their faces twitch as well.)
It's Kim Beom.
I'm going out.
(He twitches his face.)
- How cute. - "I'm going out."
(They're twitching their faces.)
(They love Min Ho's charisma.)
Why did you come out so late?
Min Ho, that's enough.
- What are you doing? - Stop trying to be charismatic.
You've shown enough. I'm begging you, Min Ho.
What are you doing? Let go of me. Let go of me right now.
- That's hilarious. - It's a funny show.
- It's first place. - First place.
(Soon Jae was looking for information on stock.)
- He's going through the files. - "Blue chip"?
Is this it?
What's this?
(It was an adult film.)
(He's flustered.)
(He gets into it.)
(He even props his chin on his hand.)
He's an amazing actor.
(His daughter-in-law comes home.)
He can't turn it off.
(He goes under the desk and pulls out the plug.)
Honey.
Father, what are you doing?
It's nothing.
My goodness, are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
I'm home.
(Soon Jae wants to see the rest of the video.)
Is no one home?
(He got an idea.)
(He attempts to watch the adult film again.)
(He loves the show.)
My goodness.
Pornography.
(He tries to find the video with a voice recognition function.)
Pornography. Pornography.
Pornography.
(He tries again.)
Pornographic video.
Why won't it work?
No one's home, right?
Everyone's out, right?
(He checks that no one is home.)
Look at his facial expression.
"Blue chip".
I should turn up the volume. It's too quiet.
(He turns up the volume.)
(He's satisfied.)
That was good.
(The whole family and friends come back home.)
What's that sound?
(He's enjoying the show.)
(It's a disaster.)
(I'm breaking a sweat again.)
(Everyone's eyes shift.)
What's this?
(He runs away.)
Soon Jae's very fast.
Does he watch those kinds of videos?
I can't believe it.
Gosh, I'm so embarrassed.
That was fun.
- It's still entertaining to watch. - That's right.
Kim Beom, can you still do that facial expression?
- He isn't Kim Beom. - I'm sorry.
- You called him by a wrong name. - You keep calling me Kim Beom.
- I'm sorry. - Show him your charisma.
- Show him your charisma. - My goodness, Gu Ra.
I'm sorry, Hye Seong.
(Hye Seong's charisma scared Gu Ra.)
Hye Seong received a lot of love...
- for his twitching face. - It was a funny scene.
You have done it so well that people asked you to show...
- the facial expression for years. - I bet they did.
You can go like this.
When I was 20 years old, I showed the facial expression...
- all the time. - Would you do it in a serious way?
Do it in a serious way.
Be charismatic.
(He's charismatic.)
- All right. - It's the same.
- It's the same. - When this show airs,
people will ask you to show that facial expression for a while.
I'll show it everywhere.
(He welcomes the request.)
Soon Jae's nickname became "Porno Soon Jae".
I heard you felt uncomfortable with the scene.
I asked the producer, "Do we need to include this scene?"
I didn't like it.
It's the funniest scene.
- It's not an unusual scene. - Right.
I agree that it's a funny scene.
Even though it's frustrating for the actor,
it's funny for the viewers.
You're the one who made it fun.
That's not true. Shin Gu would've done well.
(What do you know about adult films?)
My goodness.
Shin Gu would've played it differently.
After the episode aired,
were you glad that you participated in the scene?
I thought people would criticize me.
I see.
I have friends who are conservative.
- I see. - They said,
"Did you really have to do that?"
(I know you're an actor, but...)
I heard that you asked Min Yong for help.
The most difficult request I heard was,
"Min Yong, tell your fans..."
"to write comments."
Soon Jae asked you that.
He wanted to remove the pornography scene.
However, it's not like I have a great number of fans.
Writing comments on the website won't get the scene removed.
Soon Jae asked you that.
It was a difficult request.
- However, in the end... - He came to enjoy it.
- He's different. - Did you know about adult films?
- What? - Of course he did.
What kind of rubbish are you spouting?
That's utter nonsense.
When I was young, adult films came in videotapes.
- You watched it, right? - I secretly watched it.
I watched it without my wife's knowledge.
Shin Ji, when you went to Japan for promotion,
you learned that Soon Jae's nickname in Japan is "AV Soon Jae".
That's right. His nickname in Japan is "AV Soon Jae".
- It stands for adult video. - That's right.
Pornography and AV are a bit different.
The two genres are different.
We went to Tokyo Dome and had a fan meeting.
The Japanese fans called him "AV Soon Jae".
(He was ahead of the Korean Wave.)
Shin Ji, you played Min Yong's ex-wife.
You said that although Min Yong is usually taciturn,
a kissing scene made him talk. Did he talk before or after it?
- He would talk before the scene. - I see.
- Maybe he felt awkward. - We tried to fake the kiss.
Since he has a big hand,
he tried putting his thumb on my lips.
- Kim Byung Wook wasn't fooled. - I bet he wasn't.
He said the kiss must be real.
Maybe Min Yong was nervous. Maybe he wanted to put me at ease.
In any case, he became talkative before the kissing scene.
What did he say?
He told me to be comfortable since it was my first kissing scene.
He put me at ease.
- He doesn't usually talk much. - No, he doesn't.
Before the kissing scene,
he talked a lot to put me at ease.
Do you talk a lot before you kiss someone?
I want to know if it's a habit.
Is that the case with you?
- Well... - Do you do that?
- I want to know if you do that. - Do you?
If you become talkative, does that mean you'll kiss someone?
His future girlfriend will get ready if Kyu Hyun becomes talkative.
(Be ready when Kyu Hyun becomes talkative.)
Shin Ji, you spoke with Seo Min Jung upon learning about this special.
She's in the US, right?
- Yes. - She asked you to mention her.
Yes, she asked me to mention her.
I told her she's bound to be mentioned many times.
- Would you let us hear her voice? - That's right.
You haven't spoken to her in a while, right?
- Yes. - It's the first since her marriage.
- Her husband's a dentist, right? - Yes.
If you go to the US, you should get a dental scaling.
In the US?
It would be nice.
The total will come down to couple thousands of dollars.
It has been a while since we spoke to Min Jung.
- She answered the phone. - She did.
- Hello... Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Shin Ji. - Min Jung.
Hi, Shin Ji.
I called you during the shoot of Radio Star.
- Min Jung. - Soon Jae's here.
- Hello, Soon Jae. - Hello.
Is your baby growing up well?
Yes, I miss you.
I watched "Grandpas Over Flowers". I really enjoyed it.
My goodness.
What time is it in New York?
It's 1am. My goodness, it's Gu Ra.
Thank you.
- Thank you for recognizing me. - My goodness.
I'm Gu Ra. Is it 1am over there?
Yes, it's 1:30am.
- My goodness, we're sorry. - She stayed up for the phone call.
- We're sorry. - Min Yong's here, too.
Hello, Mr. Lee.
Are you living well after the marriage and child birth?
Yes.
(They're happy to converse on the phone.)
- Hye Seong's here, too. - Hye Seong.
- Hello, Hye Seong. - Ms. Seo.
- My goodness, Ms. Seo. - When will you visit Korea?
Will you visit Korea?
I really wanted to join the shoot of Radio Star.
I would've gone if they sent me the airplane ticket.
The production team should've done that much.
- She became a housewife. - It'll cost 5,000 dollars.
- It's too expensive. - He refused.
Since you have a child,
it must be hard to travel.
Min Jung.
- Hello, Gook Jin. - Hello.
- Have you been well? - My goodness.
Yes, I heard good news about you.
She's very informed...
- about the entertainment industry. - She's like that.
- She's updated. - Right.
Don't you think Gook Jin should get married?
If you get married this year, I'll attend the wedding.
She wants you to get married this year.
You should get married before the end of this year.
Should I send you a plane ticket?
No, I'll buy my own plane ticket.
This is 10th anniversary of "High Kick!".
Which scene do you find the most memorable?
I struggled during the shoot...
because there were many scenes in which I fell down.
I once had to hang from a basketball ring.
That's right.
I had to stay that way for a long time.
I cried so much because I was scared.
(Mr. Lee came to save her.)
I can see her underwear.
Don't look at it. Look away.
We're looking away.
Let go of the ring.
(However, she fell to the ground.)
Her skirt is flipped.
(She's crying.)
Don't you have plans of going back to acting?
You have a child.
If there's a good opportunity, I want to work.
I talked about your appearance on "King of Mask Singer".
She's tone-deaf.
- She's tone-deaf. - That's right.
She'll be recognized right away.
(Everyone will know it's her.)
(Everyone knows that she's a terrible singer.)
(Let's meet as a panelist.)
(She screams.)
The viewers will get to hear your voice after a long time.
Please say hello to the viewers.
I'm very grateful that the viewers still remember the drama...
even though 10 years have passed.
I would like to return to the viewers as an actress.
Please stay healthy and happy.
- Thank you, Min Jung. - Thank you.
- I'll keep in touch. - Thank you. Bye.
Take care.
She seemed happy to hear from us.
She's a beautiful woman.
- She's always like that. - She must've missed everyone.
- I can tell. - Min Jung.
Since Min Jung didn't appear in any other works,
- she was remembered as Ms. Seo. - That's right.
Does that mean I'm remembered as a divorcee?
Soon Jae, Na Moon Hee played your wife...
in "High Kick!".
She struggled a lot because you practiced too much.
That's what I heard.
- What happened? - It wasn't anything bad.
Actors always go over the lines with their partners.
It creates better teamwork.
In sitcoms,
new ideas come up until the start of the shoot.
It's because...
a scene can make the viewers laugh 2 or 3 times.
That's why Moon Hee and I had to catch those elements.
Does she call you with formality?
She doesn't call me with much formality.
However, I'm older than her.
I feel like she would call you...
- "Sir". - Maybe it's "Senior actor".
- I'm sure it's "Senior actor". - She doesn't call you by your name?
- No, she doesn't. - I see.
How do you want the younger actors to address you?
- Which title should they use? - I like being called by my name.
(He's an 83-year-old hard worker.)
Younger actors agree...
that Soon Jae is the master of memorizing lines.
To improve your memory,
you memorize the names of the US presidents.
Memorizing the lines in the script...
lets me know how good my memory is.
- Do you still remember the names? - It's in my head.
However, I don't know if I'll get the order right.
You know,
Donald Trump was recently elected as the US president.
You memorize the names up to Barack Obama.
There was a comedian named Kang Sung Beom.
Do you memorize the names from the start to end?
Washington, Adams...
- That's funny. - Is that what you do?
Would you be able to answer if we ask in random order?
- Would that be possible? - It'll be funny if he does this.
- I start from the beginning. - I see.
I check my memory in that way...
because everyone knows the names of famous presidents.
Do you know who came after James Garfield?
After James Garfield came Chester A. Arthur.
(They're impressed.)
Who came after Woodrow Wilson?
- Warren Harding. - That's impressive.
He memorizes the names in order.
- There are two rich presidents. - That's right.
John Adams.
- John Quincy Adams. They were rich. - They were rich.
- Bush was also rich. - Yes.
He knows everything.
Calvin Coolidge is known as the worst president in the US.
He slept 14 hours a day.
- He slept a lot. - No one cares about what you know.
It's interesting.
He wants to impress Soon Jae.
- He's excited. - He slept 14 hours a day.
It's interesting.
He wants to have a match of knowledge.
That's not true.
(I want to be knowledgeable.)
Would you give us the names from the beginning?
George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe,
John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson.
Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren,
William Henry Harrison,
John Tyler...
Then comes James K. Polk.
(James K. Polk)
Zachary Taylor. He remained a president for only a year.
- He even knows the middle name. - He's amazing.
Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce,
James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln,
- Andrew Johnson, - The 17th president.
- Ulysses S. Grant. - The 18th president.
Then came Rutherford B. Hayes.
Then came James A. Garfield.
That's the 20th president. Who was 21st president?
Chester A. Arthur. The next president won twice.
- It's Grover Cleveland. - He won the elections twice.
Between his two terms came Benjamin Harrison.
Grover Cleveland became the president again.
He was the 22nd and 24th president.
Then came the 20th century. William McKinley.
- William McKinley. - Theodore Roosevelt.
- He became the 27th president. - William Howard Taft.
Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding.
Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover.
Herbert Hoover.
Then came Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman,
and Eisenhower.
- John F. Kennedy. - That's right.
After him came Lyndon B. Johnson.
- Nixon, Ford, - That's right.
Carter, Reagan,
Bush,
Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
(He's the master of memorization.)
- My goodness, Soon Jae. - That was amazing.
(He memorized the names of 44 presidents.)
I watched a long time for Obama.
Min Yong, even though you received a lot of love...
for your sensitive character in "High Kick!",
it also led to your career break.
I portrayed a memorable character...
- in a family-oriented sitcom. - That's right.
My character was well-defined and memorable.
However, I thought it was my duty as an actor to show...
- different kinds of characters... - You received similar roles.
after "High Kick!".
I was offered the same kind of a character...
in a sitcom with a family setting.
This is what I learned from Soon Jae.
I think it's necessary...
to think of the viewers as the priority.
Playing the same kind of character...
- would've been tiring. - You still shouldn't have been...
inactive for 10 years.
- You were too stubborn. - Seriously.
You shouldn't have been inactive for 10 years.
I didn't stay inactive because I wanted to.
(I didn't know it would last 10 years.)
(Time passed quickly.)
Min Yong is called the icon of recent state.
For the past 10 years,
people posted pictures to show your most recent state.
- We prepared pictures. - What?
Here's the first picture.
(Ming Yong's first recent picture)
(He looks familiar.)
I thought it was Yong Man for a second.
He looks like Kim Yong Man.
- They look alike. - They do, right?
- You look a bit chubbier. - I had gained weight.
It looks like the picture was taken in the early 2000s.
- Was it taken in 2003? - People wore V-neck shirts a lot.
- He looks like Yong Man. - Was it taken in 2001?
It was taken in October of last year.
- Really? - It doesn't look last year.
- Was it taken two months ago? - It was taken last month.
- It was around Chuseok. - You're wearing short sleeves.
You're wearing short sleeves.
I really want to know what drink this is.
It's five-flavor berry juice.
It suits you.
(Even his taste in drinks is from a decade ago.)
This is the second picture.
- Is it a picture of me? - He looks cool.
- Let's take a look. - Are you being sarcastic?
- No, he looks cool. - My goodness.
He had long hair.
- His hair was really long. - He was chubby, too.
He looks like Choi Seong Guk in this picture.
(He has 1,000 faces.)
- It was taken 3 or 4 years... - Not long?
- after "High Kick!". - Really?
- This is an old picture. - The president of my fan club,
- Young Mi... - She got married.
It was taken at her wedding.
Two pictures of him were posted that day.
The bride and groom met through my fan club.
That's how they got married.
I went to their wedding as a host.
You lost a lot of weight.
How did you lose so much weight?
When I appeared on "King of Mask Singer",
I had lost exactly 10kg.
Is that so?
Until today, I lost 14kg in total.
How did you lose weight?
This is my first time on a talk show.
I really enjoy Radio Star,
and the senior entertainers I like host this show.
Also, I would be here with Soon Jae.
I couldn't eat much.
I guess that's how you lost weight.
I lost my appetite. I didn't eat or drink anything.
(You can lose a lot of weight by starving yourself for two months.)
- I haven't seen him for a while. - It was easy.
There's a rumor that you are Comedian Oh Jae Mi's son.
- Do you mean Min Yong? - Yes. He took a long break.
- There are many rumors about you. - Kim Yong Man and Choi Sung Kook...
- He also looks like Oh Jae Mi. - Oh Jae Mi.
"Is Actor Choi Min Yong really Comedian Oh Jae Mi's son?"
"Do people say that because they look alike?"
Their eyes look alike.
"Who is still spreading that ridiculous rumor?"
(An anonymous person got angry as if it were his own problem.)
- This one says... - What's this?
- Read the bottom. - "It's certainly not true."
The person was arguing with a friend.
"Is it true that Choi Min Yong is Comedian Oh Jae Mi's son?"
"I'm arguing with my friend."
(The reason for asking is even funnier.)
Did you post this reply?
- I don't even have an ID. - Is that so?
Could it be Jae Mi?
(It's certainly not true. Who is still spreading that rumor?)
- Have you ever heard this rumor? - Yes, I have.
- Have you? - I've never heard of it.
Even my old friends asked me,
"Was your father Oh Jae Mi?"
(He looks like Jae Mi that much.)
Is Oh Jae Mi his real name?
It could be his stage name.
Isn't he too young? Could he have had a baby in 1977?
- Jae Mi was born... - Is he old?
in 1956 or 1957.
He's quite old.
- It's possible. - Why are you so serious about it?
Since you took a break for 10 years, there were so many rumors about you.
Which rumor was the most ridiculous?
The most ridiculous one?
Since I learned some locksmith skills,
I know how locks work.
There's a locksmith master in Korea.
- He's a locksmith master. - He is...
the only person who has ever entered the vault in the Bank of Korea.
He has a favorite student named Kim Jong Wook.
He is a locksmith.
He runs "Lucky Locksmiths".
He's the best pupil of the director of the locksmith association.
His favorite student is me.
- You're his student. - Is it your hobby?
Did you really learn locksmith skills?
It's not my hobby.
I just picked up some skills.
It's not like I took classes.
But you're his favorite student.
In fact, it's illegal to teach skills like that.
I just picked up some skills.
I have just a few basic skills.
- I see. - Can you unlock any normal locks?
- One of my friends runs a junkyard. - Do you practice there?
- There are a lot of cars there. - You unlock the cars.
I can unlock almost all cars except for super cars.
May I ask you...
if this skill has anything to do with your break?
- Would I have been unlocking doors? - Was there a rumor?
Listening to his story,
- I thought of a role for him. - What is it?
It reminded me of one of O. Henry's short stories.
It's a story about a safe-cracker.
Since it's a crime, he goes to prison. When he gets out,
he moves to the countryside and runs a shoe repair shop.
Then, the bank in that area buys a safe of the latest model.
The safe-cracker is dating the daughter of the bank president.
He attends the celebratory event.
Her nieces put one of them in the safe and close it.
- They were playing a prank? - I see.
That's right.
It takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour for a locksmith to arrive.
- She was already breathing heavily. - There's not enough air.
Right then, the safe-cracker locks the safe and saves the girl.
(That's so touching.)
Can I get the part...
(That was quick.)
The role would be perfect for him.
I'll be playing a role based on O. Henry's story.
(Radio Star found him the next project.)
I learned locksmith skills...
because of the pleasure I feel when a lock is opened.
It feels like I opened someone's closed heart.
- Is that how it feels? - Yes.
It feels like I get something off my chest.
- I understand. - That's why I practiced hard.
I only used the skill once.
The owner of a billiard room said...
the staff's bathroom was locked.
He said he couldn't go in, so I unlocked the door.
I played a game of pool for free that day.
(Learning skills can be useful.)
Have you ever been accused of an unsolved theft?
(Wanted, 186cm, 70kg, an experienced locksmith)
- When theft happens after today, - You might become a suspect.
his neighbors will suspect him.
Are you also good at cleaning your ears?
My goodness.
You don't need any special tool to do that.
You just have to remove ear wax.
If I clean your ears, would it be unlocked?
- Some people have... - It would be unlocked.
ears that are hard to clean.
Their ear holes are not straight. They're curved like this.
- That's why I asked that. - If you clean your ears...
Just before, I thought,
"Gu Ra is witty. Is it written on his script?"
- No, it's not. - It's not.
I was impressed,
but talking about ears is disappointing.
Do you call this a high-end music program?
(Min Yong is straightforward.)
Hye Seong showed his underwear when he was here last time.
Did it cause you any trouble?
People said they enjoyed watching my underwear.
They were just glad that I drew attention.
They were worried because I'm not good at telling funny stories.
(Let's watch the legendary scene again.)
(His pants were torn at the perfect time.)
Your manager said he would prepare your pants for today.
- My pants? - Yes.
Are you wearing a special underwear?
Did anything special happen to you lately?
I'm raising a puppy.
I have a puppy now.
(Is that so special to him?)
(He's perfectly ordinary.)
Did anything else happen to you?
No.
- What breed is your dog? - It's a poodle.
Even his dog is ordinary.
- It's a common breed. - I mean...
There's nothing more we can say.
(The ordinary owner has an ordinary puppy.)
Did you play in any dramas?
I couldn't get an adult role yet.
People say that I'm a little too short.
Although they're young, among today's guests,
Soon Jae played in the most dramas.
(Soon Jae played in the most dramas.)
Aren't you almost 30?
- I'm 30 now. - I see.
He was only 20 when we played in "High Kick!".
He still looks like he's in his early 20s.
He looks the same as back then.
I think you can play your role in "High Kick!" again.
He's the same age as Kyu Hyun.
- We're the same age. - Is that so?
Only I got old.
Who got old?
(I'm sorry.)
I hope you will age soon.
Okay.
- We'll get older, too. - I mean...
I hope he'll get older.
Much older.
We should talk about drinking when we talk about Shin Ji.
Don't talk about it.
Why?
- I'm not talking about it. - I don't like it.
Many people enjoy drinking alone these days.
- Drinking alone is getting popular. - Right.
Shin Ji, you can drink alcohol alone at home,
but you starve yourself for days because you can't eat alone.
- Is that true? - Yes.
- You can't eat alone? - No.
I need someone to watch me eat, at least.
- I feel so sad when I eat alone. - Why don't you...
go to a restaurant by yourself and see the others eating alone.
Why don't you ask one of them to watch you eat?
If I suddenly come up to them,
and ask them to join me, it would be weird.
- You can't eat alone? - No.
- You need to overcome it. - When I'm at home...
- Do you not eat anything at home? - No, I don't even feel hungry.
There are levels of eating alone.
Having a barbecue is the highest.
- That's the highest level. - I have done it once.
Did you eat at a barbecue restaurant alone?
I ordered two portions.
Yes, I also finished cheonggukjang jjigae by myself.
Why would you hit it?
I mentioned it because of Shin Ji's personality.
You starve for few days and keep the TV on when you go out?
Yes. I don't like it so quiet when I come home.
- I want to hear people talking. - She needs to overcome it.
- She needs to overcome it, right? - I think...
- Shin Ji feels... - She easily feels lonely.
Soon Jae. You feel bad for her, right?
- Of course, I do. - I think it would be great...
- Why is she still single? - if she marries...
a man who has eight younger siblings and whose father is the eldest son.
- She won't feel lonely. - She wouldn't feel alone.
- The problem would be solved. - In my case...
- You'd prepare memorial services... - 20 times a year.
You can fix your problem perfectly.
You'd have to cook for 300 days a year.
I guess she easily feels lonely. Do you live alone?
- Yes, I do. - Will you get married eventually?
Why don't you live close...
- to Kim Jong Min? - We live close to each other.
- It takes five minutes by car. - I see. That's good.
- Also, we have a lot of gigs. - That's right.
I see my group members often, so I feel lonelier when I'm home.
- I turn the TV on when I go out. - Many people do that.
You should try not to feel empty.
Sometimes, I leave home with the lights on.
Do you have a speaking doll by any chance?
No, don't say such a thing.
(That would be the end.)
(She is relieved.)
If you don't post your pictures on your SNS,
- your manager will call you. - That's right.
- Is your manager worried about you? - That's right.
When I rest at home, I don't post any pictures on my SNS.
Jong Min made an account on SNS.
He pretended he didn't have an account, yet he read my posts.
Some people do that only to read other posts.
- He wanted to see what I do. - Instead of looking at his own.
If I don't post any photos for two days, he calls our manager.
- Does he ask to visit your house? - He asks if something happened.
He asks our manager to call me to see there are no posts from me.
- He knows I easily feel lonely... - I understand.
- and I have mood swings sometimes. - Jong Min is a really good friend.
- He cares so much about you. - Of course. He worries about me.
That's why our manager calls me.
After he talks to me, he tells Jong Min that I am fine.
Then, he asks why I didn't post any pictures.
I tell him that I don't have any pretty pictures to post.
(Why would you ask such question?)
Soon Jae, you're teaching students at a university.
Han Ji Hye was one of your students.
I heard that you gave her a C.
- That's what I heard. - I'll explain.
In my class, students rehearse a play...
- throughout one semester. - Right.
They come to school every day.
They also rehearse on weekends as professional actors do.
I help them in the rehearsals whenever I have free time.
At the end of the semester, they give a performance.
Ji Hye took my class.
She was a junior.
Back then, she was playing in the drama, "Giant".
- "Giant". - It was a major drama.
She couldn't come to school every day like the other students.
She asked, "What should I do?"
I said, "I'll make an exception, but you'll get a C."
That's not an exception.
(It doesn't make sense.)
(Am I wrong?)
The other students practice every day for two and a half months,
but she couldn't do that.
That's why I had to give her a C. I said, "You're making money."
"Your classmates practice so hard..."
"until late night every day."
"So bring some bread when you come to rehearsals."
- I think it's fair. - That's why she got a C.
- That was my conclusion. - She didn't fail the class.
She did everything I told her.
I was impressed.
There are some bad students, too.
There was a male student who was arrogant.
He grew his hair and was always dressed up.
He drove an expensive car to school, too.
I wondered what kind of person he could be.
I asked why he didn't attend the workshop. He said,
"I had work to do."
But I had never seen him on TV.
(Soon Jae is being straightforward as always.)
- Did he have work to do? - I said, "Okay. You're dismissed."
After that, I gave him a D.
I wanted him to graduate...
because he can be a bad influence on the other students...
as he acts so arrogant.
So I gave him a D, and one day, he called me.
He said, "I might get kicked out of school because of you."
I asked, "What would you like me to do?"
It's not like I'm his hidden master.
He said, "Please give me a B."
I said, "You thief."
- "You thief." - The student was insensitive.
"How could you ask for a B? Don't you even have a conscience?"
I hung up the phone, and the student got kicked out of school.
- I'm surprised that he called you. - The student was unbelievable.
- He's shameless. - Teach Dong Hyun right.
- I told him about that. - Tell him to get good grades...
- and work hard at the same time. - I already told him that.
His son enrolled in the university this year.
- I know that. - Okay.
- He should work hard. - You have to guide him well.
I said he would be criticized a lot if he doesn't do his best.
Soon Jae has an insight.
He has a good eye for actors.
You knew that Lee Byung Hun would be a great actor.
- He caught your eyes. - He's such a great actor.
You thought he has great acting skills.
Byung Hun started his acting career as he joined KBS.
His eyes looked different.
- Right. - His eyes sparkled.
- Eyes are important for actors. - He was good from the start.
- He became a great actor. - He became successful.
- What do you think of Min Yong? - How are his eyes?
He has a good face for an actor.
I thought he'd be very busy after "High Kick!" ended.
How about us?
- He had an opportunity, but... - How about Kyu Hyun? He's an actor.
He looks great.
Young actors these days...
have great looks and physiques.
They're different from my generation. We're the original.
The Korean people have been upgraded.
That's funny.
- They're much better than us. - He's criticizing himself.
(He doesn't hesitate to criticize himself.)
You need your own unique style these days.
Think of famous actors.
People thought many of them couldn't become a lead actor.
It seems Oh Dal Su is very busy.
(He doesn't stop making straightforward comments.)
Min Yong is quite unique.
His hobby is collecting axes.
You're peculiar.
It says that delivery men get scared...
when they visit your house for a delivery. Look at this photo.
I guess he uses an axe when he fails to unlock a door.
(It's for breaking the lock.)
- Why do you collect axes? - Please tell us.
When I was a child, I saw my uncle...
- chop firewood with an axe. - I see.
As I was watching him, I thought,
"I'll become a man who is good at using an axe like him."
"I'll become a great grown-up and a great man..."
"just like my uncle."
I had this thought when I was a child.
I thought I gave you the picture of my silver axe.
Did you meet the mountain spirit like in the fairy tale?
(This is Min Yong's silver axe.)
(It looks as if he received it from the mountain spirit.)
- I read the fairy tale. - "The Gold Axe and the Silver Axe".
- I told myself... - You were touched by the story.
to earn a lot of money to buy a gold axe and a silver axe when I grow up.
(He has unusual hobbies.)
I heard that you lived in the mountain, and it's true.
You lived in the mountain for two years,
and you came back in February 2015.
- You also have a photo, right? - That's right.
He has so many stories to tell.
(How fascinating.)
He drove a vehicle like this.
- Oh, he likes things like this. - It's a car for climbing mountains.
- He's a macho man. - He likes outdoor activities.
- It snowed a lot back then. - I see.
I wanted to clear the road for the whole town.
- Oh, I see. - I put the equipment on my car.
- It's welded to my car. - I can see what he's like.
- You moved to the mountain... - I didn't know that.
because of your neighbor's recommendation?
I guess you can call it recommendation.
I collected my axes because I wanted to use them to chop firewood.
When I was wondering when I would have a chance...
to chop firewood in the mountain,
I heard a loud noise from upstairs.
I had never heard anyone from upstairs making noise that loud.
I thought someone just moved in.
I didn't complain for six months.
Six months later, I went up to explain how I was bothered.
I said I had been patient for six months,
and asked to refrain from making too much noise.
They said,
"Why do you live in an apartment? You should live in the mountain."
- So you moved to the mountain? - Was that the reason?
They had a point. I couldn't say anything to that.
- That's a win-win situation. - I wasn't there to complain.
I went there to ask a favor, but their response was unexpected.
I said, "You have a point." Then, I moved to the mountain.
One day, I came to think I became old.
I thought I should establish myself...
as an actor or a man before I turn 40,
and I should return to work before it's too late.
I moved back on February 23, 2015.
It's been almost two years.
Where do you live now?
I'm living in NY City.
NY? Are you living in New York?
Min Jung lives in New York.
- I live in Namyangju City. - He said NY.
Oh, Namyangju City?
- Namyangju City is... - He even makes unusual jokes.
NY City.
(Even his jokes are old-fashioned.)
- In Namyangju City, - You live there now, right?
there used to be a filming set.
- It's still there. - In front of the filming set,
there's a quail restaurant.
- The food is good there. - Pardon?
(Why did he suddenly say that?)
- They serve quail dishes. - That's irrelevant.
- The food is really good. - Why did you say that?
- The food is good there. - It's irrelevant.
- Many actors go to that restaurant. - That's irrelevant.
- Did you say the food is good? - Isn't that irrelevant?
The food is very good there.
(His New Year resolution is to make irrelevant comments.)
- He's peculiar. - Read the script.
He has another unusual hobby. Gook Jin, you read it.
You lived in the mountain.
There was no one living on the upper floor.
But you were afraid that a ghost might appear at night.
So you sealed all the windows.
His new hobby is welding.
All of his hobbies...
- He's a macho man. - shows his manly side.
To live in the mountain, welding is a basic skill I need.
I easily get scared. When I moved there,
I saw a lot of graves of people without surviving family or friends.
- I couldn't go out after 5pm. - Were you scared?
Yes, I was scared. I welded during the daytime for a week.
- You welded? - I attached bars to the window...
so that even ghosts can't enter my house.
I placed the bars too closely to each other.
It felt as if I was locked up for a crime.
- I locked myself in. - A ghost would say, "It's welded."
(Even ghosts would be startled.)
- "I can't go in there." - "I picked a wrong house."
"I can't go through welded windows."
- "I picked a wrong house." - "It's clear that I'm unwelcome."
(The bars protected him from ghosts.)
- He could live with Choi Min Soo. - I personally think...
- Min Soo lived in a mountain, too. - it's a good experience.
He said he saw a ghost.
He saw a ghost because he didn't seal his windows.
(The ghosts probably went to Min Soo's house instead.)
I heard you took care of those unmarked graves.
You cut the weeds around the graves.
You harmonized with the environment well.
There were many graves around my house,
but I didn't see anyone visiting the graves even on holidays.
I wanted to do something good for the dead people in there...
- to live harmoniously with them. - Good for you.
Since he didn't appear on TV for 10 years,
he has all sorts of stories to tell.
(He has the most stories in the history of Radio Star.)
Gu Ra, I've been curious about something.
- You had panic disorder. - Yes, I still have it.
Some time ago, I started to feel afraid when the plane takes off.
I don't feel that way when it lands.
When it takes off, I feel so afraid until it goes up...
- high enough to be stable. - You have a fear of flying.
- I feel so afraid. - It's scary when it takes off.
- Shall I tell you a solution? - Most accidents happen then.
- I never consulted a doctor. - You can't diagnose him.
- He's not a doctor. - That's not what I meant.
- I saw him give others advice, too. - He's not a doctor.
- He can't give him medical advice. - You can go see a doctor.
If you don't want to see a doctor,
and want to overcome by yourself,
you can shop at the duty-free shop before the flight.
- It helps you... - What are you talking about?
- It doesn't make sense. - What's that?
- Do you... - What's that?
Do you have shares in the duty-free shop or what?
Hye Seong,
you traveled with your friend who is obsessed in hygiene.
You went through trouble at the airport security.
- Please tell us what happen. - One of my male friends...
has a serious obsession with hygiene.
Is he similar to Seo Jang Hoon?
I think he is.
He's so strict about self-management.
I've never seen anyone who uses a mist for his feet.
- Is there a product like that? - Yes, there is.
- That's unbelievable. - Anyway, he and I...
traveled abroad together.
He asked me to pass the security checkpoint with his bag.
I asked what it was, but he asked me to carry it for him.
We got to the security checkpoint.
He went through first. Then, I entered.
Suddenly, the security officers stopped me.
I asked what was wrong, and they said there was something in the bag.
- They said it showed on the camera. - You can't go through.
- They told me to open it, so I did. - They asked you to open it?
There was a portable bidet inside.
- Goodness. - Is there such a thing?
- Really? - It's an electrical bidet?
- It must be installed. - It's a portable bidet.
The portable bidet just looks like a water gun.
- You shoot water like this. - Yes. It's the strong one.
The security officer asked me what it was.
I told him it belonged to the person in front of me.
I said it was a portable bidet, and I didn't know about it.
"Try it."
(I almost said it.)
- You could've shown it to him. - I was so flustered that...
my face blushed. Everyone was looking at me.
Imagine everyone looking at him at the airport.
- He's unbelievable. - It's different from a normal one.
It has a very strong heating power.
- Heating power? - You mean water power.
You must mean water power.
- If it's heating power... - Does fire come out?
That's how strong it is.
(The bidet has strong water power.)
According to Hye Seong,
Soon Jae loves to talk with...
- young actors. - He talks a lot with his students.
Yes, does. While shooting "High Kick!",
we once shared the waiting room.
He told me about TBC as soon as he arrived,
- which existed before I was born. - Right.
He told us many stories like that.
I'm sorry to say this, but...
One time, I was listening to him, and suddenly I had to...
- use the bathroom. - That happens.
That time, I felt sorry...
- to leave when he was talking. - Of course.
Someone had to be there to listen to him.
- Someone had to come in. - Right.
But I couldn't leave if...
one of them came in. They were seniors as well.
- When Il Woo or Beom came... - You rush.
I could rush out.
(The players swiftly switched.)
There was a time like that.
- You heard about TBC. - Yes.
Did he tell you about the Third Battle of Seoul?
(I lose.)
Soon Jae talked...
- to us a lot. - Yes.
When I passed by the waiting room and saw Hye Seong...
attending to him,
I didn't go in even if I had to.
You peeked from outside.
I had a lot of lines to remember,
so I had to be memorizing those. When he started talking to me...
He had already finished memorizing his lines.
He was always ready.
But I still had a lot to remember.
- So when he talked to me... - About the Third Battle of Seoul.
I loved hearing his stories and all,
but one time, I listened to his story...
until the shoot began and forgot my lines.
But I...
really loved hearing about the old times, I loved it.
- I was happy. - I can't remember short lines.
Of course. When would we have the chance to hear those stories?
Soon Jae, I heard you once attended...
- nine weddings a day. - In a day?
During weekends, I usually have 6 to 7 weddings to go to.
On the day I attended 9 weddings, fortunately, 4 weddings...
were in the same venue in 30-minute intervals.
- You just waited there. - Some people must've thought...
- he works for the wedding venue. - The most awkward time is...
(Did he start the second chapter in life?)
I heard you once mentioned about adult films...
while you gave an officiant's message.
- He's amazing. - I sometimes do it when I'm bored.
(He admits it.)
There are people who write...
the officiant's message very nicely.
Some people talk about difficult life philosophies.
But from my experience, those didn't get remembered by people.
Yes, I understand.
Usually, I officiate weddings for younger actors...
and people I'm close to. So we're almost like a family.
I can talk freely.
Even though the couple is getting married,
- they will fight one day. - Right.
But when you fight, if you don't mean to split up,
you shouldn't be upset for too long.
- You should fix it within that day. - Okay.
That way your life goes back on track the next day.
If you're going to live together,
since there's about 80 percent chance it was the husband's fault,
he should caress her and say he's sorry.
- Then the wife... - I'm touching him with my foot.
- He keeps touching me. - should just accept his apology.
- Then, the fight will end. - At night...
- Did you talk about adult films? - When did you mention it?
When you're reconciling,
- adult films help a lot. - At night, watching adult films...
- It's effective. - will help the couple.
(He advises the couples to watch adult films together after a fight.)
He officiated the weddings of Go Soo, Jung Jun Ha,
Hwang Jung Eum, and many others.
All those couples are still happily married.
- I'm thankful. - Yes.
Gook Jin, why don't you ask...
Soon Jae to officiate your wedding?
- Who are you thinking of? - I'm...
- Yes. Yes. - I...
As long as the date doesn't overlap, I would do it.
(Gook Jin's wedding will be officiated by Soon Jae.)
He never asks or gets picky.
You cannot scratch your own back.
People like me need to push him.
- You mentioned it well. - Right?
- You have to push him. - Then, I get blamed for it.
- Right. - They tell me to stop meddling.
- You talk too much about yourself. - That is not true.
- You take all the blames. - Good job. Stop it now.
(Stop.)
- Soon Jae. - He talked a lot.
You still dream about starring in a romance movie.
It can't happen now.
When he said it, he mentioned...
Moon Geun Young, Song Hye Kyo, and Kim Hye Soo.
- He mentioned those actresses. - I was just kidding.
It will be more spiritual than physical.
- It will be "platonic love". - Right.
I just hope there's a drama like that in Korea.
Who do you want the leading actress to be?
Not sure, Moon Geun Young is all right.
(She's 53 years younger than him.)
- Song Hye Kyo is all right, too. - Yes.
Among a slightly older group, Lee Young Ae and...
Kim Hye Soo are okay. I can't handle people older than them.
You can't. I see.
That's the worst affair that can ever happen.
(He attacks himself.)
- There was a time like this. - Moon Geun Young and...
(He didn't expect those names.)
For example...
(He suddenly becomes very serious.)
- Goethe... - It's just acting.
married a 16-year-old girl in his declining years.
That's a very special case.
It's more of a psychological union.
I don't want a physical relationship.
- It will be just acting. - It's just acting.
(So we will just be acting.)
- Then, I'll act enthusiastically. - Enthusiastically.
(He doesn't hesitate it anymore.)
You feel really bad for...
your Shin Goo who's never experienced a kissing scene.
That's what I think.
He might say he's not sorry.
(He feels self pity.)
I think he kissed Jeon Won Ju.
- Right. - Yes.
(They acted together in "Winter Sonata" parody.)
They're kissing.
I envy you.
(Won Ju kisses Shin Gu.)
(They didn't just kiss once.)
(They're startled.)
- What do you know about kissing? - Try to catch me.
(He was a veteran romance actor.)
Stop there.
- I'm not talking about... - He acted as Bae Yong Joon.
right now. I'm talking about when he was young.
(He attacks Shin Gu for the second time.)
He's never done it when he was in his 20s or 30s.
In 50s and 60s, he starred in romance movies.
- He was always the leading actor. - He was always.
He starred in many romance movies in the 50s and 60s.
I bet Shin Gu didn't get to shoot a kissing scene at the time.
We need to check with him to be sure, but he wouldn't tell me.
(He attacks Shin Gu for the third time.)
There's a rumor about this, too.
In the past, you wanted to appeal to your first love...
that you wore a Seoul National University belt.
- You showed it off. - You wore it like a champion belt.
It wasn't the Seoul National University belt.
You tucked your shirt inside...
- Stop and listen. He's talking. - There is a wallet, too.
(I'm sorry, Sir.)
(Kyu Hyun is cute.)
- I got it as a graduation memento. - He's being annoying.
I didn't get it from someone.
I wore it to commemorate the graduation.
Because it was summer, it showed when I wore a shirt.
- It shows. - I wasn't trying to show it off.
The lady in front of me thought it was strange.
I looked like an assistant, but I was wearing the belt,
so she thought I got it from someone.
(She inspected him thoroughly.)
This is a report about Shin Ji. Ms. Shim Soo Jeong sent it.
"About 10 years ago,
I got on the plane to Jeju with Shin Ji and her friends."
"I was surprised when I saw Shin Ji in person."
"She wasn't wearing any makeup, and she was really beautiful."
"I realized Shin Ji's relationship to Kim Jong Min and Bbaek Ga...
wasn't a set-up."
"Jong Min kept looking for Asiana Airlines at Korean Air counter,
and Shin Ji was yelling at him. It was just like...
- how they were on TV." - What's wrong with him?
He went to McDonald's...
- and mentioned Burger King. - What's wrong with him?
- There was an upsetting incident. - He went to McDonald's...
- We went to an event held by them. - It was an event.
Their staff asked which burger he likes the most,
and he said Whopper.
- Whopper. - Yes, I was so embarrassed.
(She was so embarrassed.)
This is a report on Min Yong.
It's from Cho Jeong Gon.
- Are there more? - It's a very...
interesting story.
"Five years ago, I worked at a bar."
"Min Yong visited with a couple."
"He gave me 100 dollars..."
"and asked me to buy three packs of cigarette."
"I thought I got so lucky."
"I thought he'd give me the change,"
"92.50 dollars, as tip."
"He gave me exactly 2.50 dollars..."
"and suddenly offered me his autograph."
"At the time, I didn't know who he was."
"I told him that I don't know who he is."
"He told me that his name is Choi Min Yong."
(Jong Shin cracks up.)
"To verify this report, I'll enclose the autograph he gave me."
- He gave his autograph. - Where is it?
- Really? - It says, "Choi Min Yong".
- Is that your autograph? - It is.
I gave him something. Isn't it all that matters?
In my opinion,
if you gave him 10 dollars, the change would've been 2.50 dollars.
But you gave him 100 dollars. That's why he misunderstood you.
He expected more.
- He has to work hard to earn money. - Usually, in that case,
- Why would I give him money? - it's included in the bill.
The next one is from Ms. Kim Woo Ri.
"When "High Kick!" was being aired, I visited the set."
"I was sitting at the terrace, and Min Yong called me and my friends."
(What?)
"He asked each of us where we're from..."
"and if we get good grades."
"He nagged us and told us we should be studying."
"We were still young, and we thought..."
"he ruined our trip to see Jung Il Woo."
"That's what we thought at the time."
"Thinking back, I think he was very warm-hearted and kind."
- Is she referring to me? - Yes.
I thought my turn was finished.
It was another story about you.
I see.
Students should be in school.
- Why would they be at a shoot? - He can say that.
The set wasn't near Seoul. It was in Paju.
They skipped school, so someone had to tell them.
They went there to see Jung Il Woo and got humiliated by Min Yong.
He admits the other one, but he doesn't remember this well.
They went there to see Il Woo and got humiliated by Min Yong.
(It's an impressive line.)
- I can't remember but they do. - Recently...
There's a group called "Sweden Laundry".
And they want to collaborate with Soon Jae.
Do you know about this?
Do you want to collaborate with anyone?
We'd like to collaborate with Soon Jae.
We already wrote a song.
Sweden Laundry featuring Lee Soon Jae.
- Did you know about this? - No.
- Have you... - Sweden Laundry wants him.
Have you heard of Sweden Laundry?
- Laundry? - Yes.
- It's the name of a group. - Laundry.
- They do dry cleaning well. - Sweden Laundry.
- That's the name of a group. - Have you heard of it?
I've never even gone to the nearest laundromat.
He's never been to Sweden either.
Is "Sweden Laundry" the name of a group?
- Yes. They're young artists. - Yes.
That's the most peculiar group name.
(Sweden Laundry is sad.)
- We told him. - I'm thankful.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today, we're here with the legendary stars who have been loved for years.
They will sing the songs that will make them blush after 10 years.
Let's listen to Shin Ji's choice.
(What song did Shin Ji choose?)
- What's that? - "Everyone Will Love".
(It was Soon Jae's theme song on "High Kick!".)
- This one. - In the sitcom, Yoo Mi's mom,
who was Min Ho's girlfriend's mom, was a singer.
She sang this song.
It was Soon Jae's theme song in the sitcom.
- That's why you chose this song. - "Everyone Will Love".
That's when he was doing the romantic scenes.
There's a scene where he runs into his first love.
In the end, she leaves for LA. It's in the lyrics, too.
Shin Ji will sing "Everyone Will Love".
("Everyone Will Love" by Shin Ji)
I know this song.
(The others are on the stage to be her chorus.)
(The dog becomes happy when he sees me and wags its tail)
The lyrics are witty.
(Cows can moo)
It's philosophical.
It is.
(Her sorrowful voice brings back the memories of our first love.)
(Nostalgic)
(He remembers the time he wore the university belt.)
(But his first love left for LA.)
(Even dogs and cows can love)
(I am an idiot who is worse than dogs and cows)
(She ends the song by showing off her high voice.)
Bravo.
That song is quite nice.
- It's very catchy. - Yes.
The song is very nice. It's pedantic.
Shin Ji,
- your nasal voice is still amazing. - Really?
- You could sing trot songs well. - Her voice vibrates well.
I once sang a trot song with Lee Jung.
Was it last year?
The person who hired me got arrested for fraud.
- We sang the song on TV once. - He got arrested.
I started off with a clean slate...
and returned to Koyote.
(Koyote will last forever.)
This is "Highkick, Highkick Special".
Soon Jae, as the elder, can you please give words of advice...
to your fellow artists and to our viewers?
Last year was a very tough year.
We could say that it was an unfortunate year.
However, I believe that we can overcome this.
Let's start 2017 with new hope.
Let's live an exciting life in a good country...
and in a good environment. With hope for a bright future,
I wish you good health and happiness.
I root for everyone here.
- Let's go! - Thank you.
These four guests brought back the fun memories from "High Kick!".
That was good. Good, good, good.
- All right. - What was that?
We hope to see you thrive wherever you are.
Why don't you end the show with me, Min Yong? Okay?
I'm not the host of Radio Star.
I came out on TV after 10 years, and I'm supposed to end it.
You can do it. It's what the viewers...
Want.
- What's there we can't do together? - It's here.
- It can... - Happen.
You're too grumpy.
If you know, please stop it.
Okay.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
