(JYP's Party People, 7 days before the 1st party)
I have been in the business for 24 years now.
I've already hit a limit to what I can show you as an artist.
(The artist with 24 years under his belt takes on a new challenge.)
My gosh. This is awesome.
I needed time to fill my life with new excitement.
I just wanted to do something fun and exciting.
This is a work of art.
I can imagine the audience partying with me here.
This is what I'm talking about. Bravo.
Even though you're watching at home,
I want the viewers to feel that they've had a great night...
out on the town.
We'll have fun together watching TV on a Saturday night.
I want celebrities to want to party with us too.
That's the kind of show I want.
Where could I ever put on a show like this?
Party people!
I'd like nothing more than to host this show...
until the day I die...
just like Song Hae's "National Singing Contest".
It'd be my dream to host "Party People"...
for as long as I live.
(Great music, great people, JYP's Party People)
(The first guest will be here soon.)
(First to party is Lee Hyo Ri.)
The rust is finally coming off.
But I'm almost done promoting my album.
My gosh.
(The sexy Dancing King invites the sexy Dancing Queen.)
It's Yum Jung Ah.
(Lee Hyo Ri with the Miss Korea Yum Jung Ah.)
(What songs will they sing on the show?)
It's a show that only you can make happen.
(A party that only Park Jin Young can hold)
(The first party begins now.)
Those who are drinking alone can look as much as they want.
(The first party begins now.)
(Host of Party People, Park Jin Young)
(A party that brings the fun to those watching at home)
JYP!
Are you ready to party?
Viewers, I know you all worked hard this week.
I'll guarantee you a better night...
than those partying out on the town.
This is JYP's...
- Party People. - Party People.
("Lee Hyo Ri DJ Remix" produced by DJ Shanell)
Please welcome Lee Hyo Ri.
(The first party is with Lee Hyo Ri.)
("Miss Korea" by Lee Hyo Ri)
Thank you.
(Party People Band)
Please give it up for Lee Hyo Ri.
Hello.
Hi.
It's so good to see you.
I know. It's been a while.
How long has it actually been?
- About 10 to 15 years. - 10?
- Yes, about 10 to 15 years. - Right.
- We met often in the past. - I know.
That changed when we both got busy.
I had all the details down when I was...
first conceptualizing this show.
I was wondering who could be the best guest,
and all I could picture was your face.
It's true that I used to be a party-goer,
but now I live in the countryside.
I'm worried that I'd only make the show lame.
What do you all think? Does she fit in?
- Yes. - Yes!
Thank you.
There's no one who fits in better.
- No. - No!
First, I'd like to say how pretty you look.
- Really? Thank you. - You're dressed in purple.
Can I ask why you chose to wear this dress?
I haven't worn a dress like this in a while.
But how can I party without something sparkly on?
It's the same as being on stage.
On stage or at a club,
it's always nice to wear shimmery makeup...
and clothes that sparkle under the light.
I took this opportunity to doll myself up today.
- Well, you look amazing today. - Thanks.
When was the last time you went to a club?
About five years ago.
- Five years? - It's been more than that.
What do you do when you want to have fun in Jeju Island?
I've partied so much...
that I don't feel like I need to do so.
Isn't that the case for you?
- Yes. - Goodness.
I've always been amazed with you.
You're too old to party all night now.
Back in the day, I didn't drink because I liked it.
It was to forget things in my life...
and make me feel less embarrassed.
I drank so that I could maximize the fun I'd have.
These days, I don't need alcohol to have fun though.
Now that I'm older, I don't get embarrassed easily.
All right.
You've been on hiatus for four years now,
and it's been too long.
People say that,
but I just wanted to relax as much as I can.
With this new album, people have mostly said...
that you delivered once again.
- I've heard that the most. - Thank you.
People think of you...
when asked to name Korea's best female solo artist.
I want someone to take that title from me though.
I wish for someone better to explode onto the scene.
I really do.
Shouldn't she just record songs more often?
Yes, of course!
Thank you for thinking so.
It's been four years since your last album.
What was it like to take the stage after...
a four-year hiatus?
I feel possessed and hypnotized when I'm on stage.
I do think that I was born to perform.
I felt that the stage is where I'm supposed to be.
My life in Jeju Island is good,
but I rarely get to meet my fans.
That is something I miss.
I have to say that for them to not forget about me.
Your recently released album...
touched me ever so deeply.
- Really? - All the songs were amazing.
For me, it's all about who genuinely tells their story.
A song that entails someone's heart holds immense power.
I felt that with all of your recent songs.
I could tell the thoughts inside your head,
and they showed me just how mature you are now.
I'm so glad you released this album.
Thank you.
I hope many feel the same way.
I'm sure they will.
Those who have heard it will.
Thank you.
(She produced all of her new songs and poured her heart into them.)
Next up is "Seoul" everyone.
Thank you.
("Seoul" by Lee Hyo Ri)
You're so pretty!
The protagonist in this song...
is the old me that used to live in Seoul.
It was a difficult and sweet life,
but now that I left the city,
it's one of my past that I miss.
I do miss my old days.
I may have left Seoul, but I can always come back.
If you want a break, you should just take one.
When you want that busy life back,
you can always come back.
I hope to convey that message with this song.
("Seoul" by Lee Hyo Ri)
Thank you.
(JYP's Party People is for those alone at home on a Saturday night.)
Did you enjoy her performance?
The lyrics are touching, but her outfits so sexy.
What a combination.
She's natural, sophisticated, and sexy.
You're improving in the best way possible.
While listening to the song, I pictured someone...
somewhere away from Seoul which is their home...
watching this show...
drinking a beer alone.
The song and my sexy outfit...
will comfort them.
Those drinking alone can look...
as much as they want.
(She's very considerate.)
This new album told me so much about...
how you matured as a person...
while taking time off from performing on stage.
This is the last show I'll be on before I go on hiatus again.
I learned a lot during this time though.
Before, I had a wide spectrum of fans.
Now, I don't have as many as before,
but I feel like the love and support are more genuine.
In the past, people liked me...
for my looks and fashion.
However, my fans now like my songs more,
and they want to know more about me and my life.
I wanted to be loved by everyone before,
but now I'm glad to have fans...
that know the person inside me and want to know more...
about who I really am.
People loving your songs and people loving you...
are both just as important.
However, history tells us...
that people loving you is definitely more powerful.
This album is a milestone that will put you on that path.
It took you to another level.
I'm flattered to hear that,
but don't you have any constructive criticism to say?
(Flustered)
Be honest with me, and I'll take it into consideration.
You are, of course, a great musician I look up to.
Was their enough air in my voice? How was it?
My comment isn't about that.
- Please be honest. - It did feel like...
you were away from the scene for a long time.
Do you mean the album?
- Are you saying it's outdated? - No, not the album.
When you sing and dance,
I could tell that you were on a long hiatus.
- I see. - You obviously...
didn't spend that time singing and dancing all the time.
- So you're saying that... - Well,
if I'm being honest,
you finally seem less rusty.
But I'm done promoting my album now.
Really? That's a bummer.
I'm only saying that...
because there are those who sing and dance...
- as if their lives depended on it. - Right.
What I want to say is that...
you shouldn't disappear on us.
Okay, I get it now.
I should've stayed relevant...
and showed desperation.
You should've lived and breathed with us.
Before, singing and dancing were my life.
But now, I live on my husband's love.
(Laughing)
I guess that much has changed.
We have a new segment on JYP's Party People.
It's called Make Your Song Mine.
It's a segment...
where I ask artists to sing someone else's song...
they've wanted as their own.
It's a chance for them to sing it for us.
What do you think of it?
(We love it!)
Is there a song that...
you think you can make your own?
I thought long and hard about this.
I'm not the one known for cover songs.
I'm struggling to sing my own songs,
so I didn't want the added stress.
Since it's the first episode, I wanted to do my best...
because you're back with a new program too.
(His hopes are up.)
That's why I'll be singing "Bad Girl Good Girl" by Miss A.
(Hyo Ri will sing "Bad Girl Good Girl" by Miss A.)
(She's singing a song produced by Jin Young.)
I loved the song since the moment it was released.
(Miss A debuted with "Bad Girl Good Girl" in 2010.)
(It's about girls who aren't afraid to be bold.)
I adored Miss A as a group,
but I felt like the lyrics expressed who I am too.
I dance like a naughty girl,
but I was always a sweet girlfriend.
Are you excited to hear Hyo Ri sing "Bad Girl Good Girl"?
The song is incredibly tricky though.
It's fast-paced and exhausting.
To sing a song meant for four people...
is an enormous challenge.
- I'll do my best. - I hope you understand that.
Let's hear Lee Hyo Ri's "Bad Girl Good Girl".
(How will Hyo Ri cover the song?)
I'm sorry, but I need to change.
Don't you want to see what she'll wear?
- Are you willing to wait? - Yes!
(What will she be wearing?)
(She looks incredible!)
Jin Young.
Can we hear a live version of your narration?
(Lee Hyo Ri's song of choice, "Bad Girl Good Girl" by Miss A)
("Bad Girl Good Girl" by Miss A)
JYP.
Introducing...
Made in Jeju Island.
It's Lee Hyo Ri.
- Gosh, I'm so sorry. - Let's do it again.
In front of you
I'm sorry.
(It's okay.)
It's okay!
(It's okay.)
(Lee Hyo Ri's song of choice, "Bad Girl Good Girl" by Miss A)
JYP.
("Bad Girl Good Girl" by Miss A)
Introducing.
Made in Jeju Island.
It's Lee Hyo Ri.
(Hyo Ri from Jeju Island put on a spectacular performance.)
- Lee Hyo Ri. Lee Hyo Ri. - Lee Hyo Ri. Lee Hyo Ri.
I can't believe how charming she is.
What did you think?
It's not easy at all.
How on earth can we let her go back to Jeju Island?
(Even the song's producer is in awe.)
I didn't write the song for you,
but coming to think of the lyrics now,
it's tailor-made for you.
Exactly. It should've been mine.
Miss A did a great job,
but I did want it for myself.
People behave opposite of what they want.
We all our selfish in a way.
We're worried of what others will think,
and we want to be viewed as nice people.
However, you were not like that in your 20s.
From what I can tell, you wanted people...
to think that you weren't a good girl in a way.
I was just trying to be fierce.
But you're such a sweet person.
We're all like that. We want to look fierce...
even though we're not.
It's hard to survive without that facade.
I didn't want to get hurt...
which is why I put up a steel wall.
One time we went for drinks since we're good friends.
She told me her story,
and I listened and comforted her.
I was sorry though...
because she told me what was troubling her,
and all I could think of was that it'd make a great song.
Without telling her, I came home...
and immediately wrote one.
Which one was it?
(The untold story behind this 15-year-old masterpiece)
Here I am looking at you
Is it "Another Love Gone"?
(The story behind "Another Love Gone" by Lee Ki Chan)
It was about someone so vulnerable...
who was burned for being too innocent.
(Hyo Ri was his inspiration.)
It was about someone so innocent.
I wasn't all that innocent though.
You weren't gullible,
- but innocent. - I loved with all my heart.
- You were innocent. - I was.
It was selfish of me to use her...
- this way. - Shouldn't I get in...
the piece of the action then?
- Sorry? - You should share the profit.
(It's a little bit too late.)
- Do you know the song? - Yes.
Ki Chan sang it.
- Yes, that's right. - It's Ki Chan's song.
(Jin Young wrote the lyrics based on Hyo Ri's story.)
(Here I am looking at you)
(Meanwhile, you keep drifting away)
(Tears flow from my eyes)
(Once again, my love is gone)
Guys, how pretty do you find Hyo Ri?
- She's beautiful. - Extraordinary!
We're not just saying this to make her feel good.
We truly think that.
- Yes. - We do.
She's driving you crazy?
Before Hyo Ri left for Jeju Island,
we talked on the phone.
- Do you remember that? - Right.
Do you know what she said to me?
She asked if I thought she'd be able to live in Jeju.
- She asked me that. - Did I?
There's a part of you that made me think...
that Jeju Island was perfect for you.
Meanwhile, another part of you...
did worry me about how well you could adapt.
Did you stay interested with the action here,
or did you just turn it off?
- I was interested. - Then you...
- I'd watch rookies perform. - I see.
I'd look up the artist...
that was coined as the next Lee Hyo Ri.
Is it Tzuyu?
Tzuyu?
- Is that her name? - Yes, she's of Twice.
She's so pretty.
She has a natural beauty,
so I kept an eye on her.
Were you worried...
that you'd be forgotten?
To be honest,
I wasn't that much worried about that.
Many people know me of who I am already.
I was only taking a break,
and I believed that I'd always be able to come back.
- Oddly... - That was true.
Oddly enough, I believed it.
It's like a long-term boyfriend.
There's a level of trust.
I knew that people would still be interested in me.
During these four years, you were able to relax,
ponder, and mature in a way.
That led to recording these recent songs.
What was your thought process behind this new album?
It wasn't about being in the spotlight again.
I wanted to express who I am as a person.
If I didn't produce this album myself,
there would've been no reason to release it.
You participated in a lot of the songs.
- Out of 10... - Nearly all of them.
You wrote nearly all the lyrics, and you wrote eight of the songs.
I heard every song in the album.
I liked all the songs,
but there's one that I nearly cried over.
Is it "Diamond"?
No.
- "Pretty"? - Yes.
(The 8th track "Pretty")
You wrote about your life in your 20s,
and you're someone I also know well.
You should know since you worked in this industry too.
It's just that...
Gosh, I love this song.
(He's already moved.)
The 20-something Lee Hyo Ri that I remember is...
If you think about it, we were thrown in this industry...
without any preparation or warning.
As aspiring singers,
we spent our days practicing our craft.
However, that's not all that mattered.
We had to deal with our agencies...
and the eyes of the public.
- Colleagues... - Family dynamics changed...
and so did my relationship with my friends.
("Pretty" by Lee Hyo Ri)
(I want to tell you not to worry, not to be sad,)
(you can do it, and you're pretty)
When I was writing the lyrics,
I looked back on my past life,
and tears came to my eyes.
I struggled to protect...
so many things instead of myself,
so I think my 20s were not so easy.
You wrote "Pretty" for you in your 20s.
Then what has changed about you since then?
I mostly cared and thought about other people back then.
But now, I try to think about myself first.
I focus on what I like, what I want to do,
and what I want to eat.
In the past, I thought about something else other than me.
Among all your albums,
are there any lyrics...
that you were so impressed after writing them yourself?
"Miss Korea", the song I just sang is one of them.
It goes like this.
Miss Korea
I tried to rhyme the lyrics.
- I'm the best girl in the world - Best girl in the world
- There are rhymes. - It might sound childish,
- I like it a lot. - but if you actually sing it,
it's very nice and interesting.
It's not just interesting,
but encourages those who listen to the song.
Many aspire to become Miss Korea when they are young.
I'm proud of myself for writing lyrics...
that could give hope to others.
"Miss Korea" is the song that surprised me...
and made me think of you as an artist.
I still remember the text message you sent me back then.
I was very impressed.
It was novel, great,
and serious at the same time.
The music video was very creative and nice.
I loved writing things even in the past.
Korean was the subject I was best at...
when I was in school.
I think I have a feel for languages.
When did you first write the lyrics?
I wrote the lyrics of "Eternity" when I was in Fin.K.L.
("Eternity" is the first song she wrote the lyrics of.)
I will be waiting for you
- I remember it. - It goes like this.
("Eternity" from the 4th album of Fin.K.L)
It was the title song of the album.
It earned me pretty good money.
You spent long years in Jeju Island...
- with a great musician. - Right.
Does Sang Soon help you a lot in terms of music?
Musicians tend to like...
giving advice...
- to others. - He studied music a lot,
but he doesn't say such things.
Really?
He once said that the chord combination I made...
sounded weird.
So I asked him why it was weird,
and he said it was not a typical pattern.
But I insisted that I liked it.
Sang Soon majored in music.
On the other hand, I didn't study it like him.
My music might sound awkward and weird to him.
But he says I'm better than those who majored music...
and the songs I wrote in my style sound greater.
That's how he gave me advice.
Why don't we watch the music video then?
(Music video preview)
I shot the video for four days in a desert in Los Angeles.
The temperature went above 50ºC.
- Wasn't it hard? - It was really hard.
I danced in long sleeves and pants with my hair extended.
Who came up with the concept of the music video?
Lopez, the director of the video, said the song...
suggested a strong-willed woman...
who lives in a desert alone.
I also liked his idea. This is how we decided the concept.
The dance of the song is different from the dance you've showed.
Some of my fans were disappointed because of that.
Many must've expected to see...
frivolous dances like this.
I wanted to show my new aspects...
other than sexy and flashy charms.
So I tried a lot of new things.
In the music video,
the clothes you wore are very revealing,
and the top is almost like an underwear.
Many could find such clothes uncomfortable.
But if you wear such clothes, it looks just fine...
and even natural.
Do you know why?
Why is that?
It's because I feel comfortable when I'm in such clothes.
- You do? - I feel very comfortable.
Since I don't feel awkward or uncomfortable,
others also feel the same way.
I don't know why,
but I don't feel embarrassed to walk around with just an underwear on.
Why do you think is that?
Isn't it because you know that you look fine.
That's not really true.
I didn't feel uncomfortable in the transparent dress.
Right, but those who looked at you felt uncomfortable.
They found it weird.
(I'm fine with my clothes. Did I make you feel uncomfortable?)
Many singers empathize...
perfectly with the lyrics when they sing, right?
Which part do you empathize...
the most when you sing "Black"?
Well...
I will be an ordinary girl who fears nothing
I like this part.
I looked back on my past when I was taking a break.
I was daring when I spoke,
I did everything I wanted,
and the makeup I wore was a lot lighter than now.
Although I was younger and more girlish, I was braver.
As I get older,
I've become much more careful...
and less confident.
I thought I was much bolder and cooler...
when I was a member of Fin.K.L.
I had black hair...
and wore large-sized pants.
That's how I wrote the lyrics.
Don't you want to listen to "Black"?
- We do! - We do!
(Her story made us want to listen to "Black" even more.)
(She changed into a black costume.)
("Black" by Lee Hyo Ri)
("Black" is the title song of Hyo Ri's 6th regular album.)
(The song is about the dark sides of her flashy life.)
(She thought of her younger self who was daring and confident.)
("Black" by Lee Hyo Ri)
Lee Hyo Ri! Lee Hyo Ri!
(JYP's Party People)
It's time to invite our second guest.
The word "Femme fatale" describes her the best.
Please welcome Actress Yum Jung Ah.
(The second guest, Actress Yum Jung Ah)
(Former Miss Korea Yum Jung Ah...)
(became a sought-after actress.)
(This is how Miss Korea greets the audience.)
(Miss Korea Yum Jung Ah sings...)
("Miss Korea" with Lee Hyo Ri.)
Raise your hand.
Great.
(The two beautiful ladies are here to celebrate the show.)
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm honored to have you as a guest for the first episode.
I'm very honored to be here too.
You must've heard that we'd shoot the show in a club.
How did you choose the clothes for today?
I asked my stylist to get me flashy clothes.
- Look. - Beautiful.
- She's in a glittery dress. - Right.
I wore the similar one in the beginning of the show.
Glittery clothes fit the best in a club.
- I haven't wore this for a long. - One of the goals of this show...
is to provide our guests a chance to wear splendid costumes.
Thank you. This show is possible because of you.
(He's grateful.)
You chose "Miss Korea" as the first song.
Right. It's Hyo Ri's song.
This song suits you nicely...
because you are a former Miss Korea.
That's right. It was about 25 years ago.
- It's been that long? - Yes.
When did you realize that you looked pretty?
I knew I was pretty even when I was very young.
Is it because of others' responses?
That's one of the reasons. I also love looking at myself...
in the mirror and thought I looked great.
So I recommended myself to the beauty contest...
because I wanted to participate in the contest.
I thought the hairdressers recommend beautiful girls...
to participate in the contest.
So I also visited a hairdresser to assess my looks.
When did you last go...
- clubbing? - The last time I went to a club?
There were only night clubs when I was young.
- The clubs in hotels. - Right.
That's right.
The waiters there dragged us to different tables.
That's right.
They no longer do that.
Your wrists must've been bruised.
- Of course. - Beautiful girls like you...
were so popular in clubs.
When we were in our 20s, we went to Unicorn.
- I think the clubs I went... - Unicorn and...
You went to Juliana, right?
- I went to Juliana and Saga... - Then...
- You went there in 20s, right? - Right.
- She was a good student. - It was expensive.
I also went to Cutti.
So you enjoyed...
- dancing in clubs. - I loved it.
The guys there must've been entranced by your dance.
I didn't know what happened at my back.
I just danced in front of the DJ booth.
Can you picture Jung Ah dancing?
- No. - No.
Is there any song...
that makes you so excited that you want to dance?
- I like MC Hammer's songs. - MC Hammer?
- "U Can't Touch This"? - That's it.
("U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer...)
(opened the era of hip hop in the 1980s and 1990s.)
Think of your old days.
Goodness.
Let's see how you dance.
Please change the light for dancing.
How did you dance?
(She starts move with the groove.)
(She's not shy anymore.)
(She wraps it off with a cute dance.)
She still looks gorgeous.
Do you know the original dance of this song?
I don't know. Please show us.
Please turn on the music.
He's a great dancer.
(Anticipating)
(The king of the dance, JYP, shows the original dance.)
(Anticipating)
(He moves his feet very nimbly.)
- This was the dance. - Now I remember the dance.
(You're amazing.)
It's really exciting.
Your moves were very nimble.
I'm still fine.
I'm sure you also feel like dancing from time to time.
- Right. - Which song...
makes you want to dance?
I danced to your songs a lot.
I danced to "Honey" in my college trip.
We danced a lot to your songs.
- When did you make your debut? - It was 1998.
Then you must've known a lot of my songs.
That's right. Shall we dance together then?
Do we have a medley prepared?
I'm not sure if I still remember the dance.
(The collaboration between Jin Young and Hyo Ri)
("Don't Leave Me" by Park Jin Young)
Party people!
(Everyone remembers this dance.)
(Hyo Ri from Jeju Island is having fun too.)
(Our bodies remember the moves.)
Oh, baby
("She Was Pretty" by Park Jin Young)
(The collaboration of the legendary dancer and the sexy singer)
(Everyone in the nation knows this swimming gesture dance.)
("Honey" by Park Jin Young)
(Exclaiming noise)
(Hyo Ri loves to dance to Jin Young's medley.)
What kind of acting makes you feel the most excited?
Singers also become excited when they sing their favorite genre.
I find thrillers very attractive.
Actually, I can't watch thrillers well...
as I'm quite timid.
But I really enjoy acting the genre.
- It does suit you nicely. - Thank you.
When I think of the audience who'll be frightened by this movie,
I feel thrilled.
You're currently working on a movie.
The production is complete. It will be released soon.
- I see. - The title is "The Mimic".
It's a mystery and thriller film.
(She starred in a thriller film.)
I think the theme of the movie is totally new in Korea.
In the movie, I move to Seoul...
from a provincial town with my family.
And I meet a girl there for the first time.
She bewitches people using her voice.
- What? - Since I meet the girl,
mysterious incidents take place around me.
Your acting skills were highly praised...
when you starred in "A Tale of Two Sisters".
We both also tried acting too, right?
I think performance on the stage is acting too. Sexy act...
- You appeared in a drama. - I do not talk about it.
- I don't remember it anymore. - Actually,
when you starred in "3 Leaf Clover", You weren't that bad.
You even remember the title of the drama?
- I just... - You don't even deserve to live.
(In "3 Leaf Clover")
You and I will die here.
Let's just die and disappear.
- I'm sorry. - Let's just end it.
Hey, stop! It's dangerous.
Let me be honest. Her acting...
in "3 Leaf Clover" wasn't bad.
Many people complimented your acting, right?
But I don't think it was my thing.
I think I should've played a different role.
Or if I played a supporting role,
- it might've been better. - That's exactly how I felt.
I played the lead all of a sudden.
You starred in a movie, right?
- It's "A Millionaire on the Run". - I remember.
If there were many lead roles,
- I might have pulled it off better. - Right.
I felt a little sad about it.
Both of you are famous stars on TV,
At the same time, you're someone's wife.
Lee Hyo Ri and Ms. Sogil.
Yum Jung Ah and Ms. Dongtan.
Do you live in Dongtan?
Yes, I live in Dongtan.
What do you do...
when you want to relieve stress?
It's not like I can't go out and have fun because I'm married.
I go out and have fun when I feel like it.
It's just that I can't hang out with any other men.
That's obvious.
Except for that part, nothing changed.
What about you, Jung Ah? When you're...
stressed, and you want to relive stress?
I think I usually suppress it.
Then when I act,
when I'm given a role, that's how I relieve stress.
Then do you not tell your husband that...
you're going out for a drink with your friends or something?
I started doing that recently.
When I was in 20s, I liked night clubs,
but I didn't enjoy drinking. I couldn't drink much.
But after I turned 30, I started to drink,
and I drink way too much now.
It gets excessive when you start at a late age.
My husband got me started on drinking,
but I drink more than he does now.
Lately, when I put my kids to sleep early...
and drink with my husband, it tastes so good.
Then, when we drink,
sometimes we drink to celebrate,
but sometimes we drink because we're sad.
I remember the day when it was so bitter.
When was it?
I failed all the auditions.
I failed all the entertainment company auditions in Korea.
I had one last audition left...
which was SM entertainment.
So DJ Koo from Clon asked Chairman Lee Soo Man...
for an audition for me because he felt bad.
So I got a chance to see him in person.
So I auditioned,
but I failed it.
(I failed my last audition as well.)
So on that day,
I bought a bottle of soju from a convenience store...
and drank it straight up.
(The taste of soju on the day he failed all the auditions in Korea)
But I never drink when I'm upset or mad.
That's the only day it happened...
because I'd try again if there are any opportunities,
but that was the last entertainment company.
It tasted so bitter because I thought everything was over.
Then how did you become a singer?
- So I was in despair, - Yes.
- but this one new film company... - A film company?
wanted to try out a singer, and that's how I became a singer.
What a coincidence.
When I first met my husband,
we were just co-workers,
so there was nothing between us.
When I felt there was something between us,
we went to watch a movie together.
We watched "Sunny".
After the movie, I wanted to spend more time with him.
Even though we watched a late night movie,
I asked him if he wants to go for a drink.
I asked him out.
So we went to a very shabby cart bar nearby.
A bottle after bottle, I drank a lot,
and he drank a lot too.
So I thought he liked to drink,
but it turns out that he can't even drink...
half a bottle of soju.
Then we got in the car together,
I could hear his heart beating so loud.
It was beating so loud,
so I thought he really liked me.
But it turns out, every time he drinks,
his heart beats so excessively.
I'm serious.
I like going to karaoke when I'm tipsy.
When I go, there's a song I always sing.
There's a song called "Reminiscence" by Sanullim.
I love that song for some reason.
When I'm really drunk, I sing it 3 to 4 times.
It makes people say that I'm drunk again.
I think the lyrics are very touching.
I remade other singers' songs three times only in my life.
One of them is "Reminiscence".
- You've remade it? - Yes.
They don't usually allow it,
but I asked them for a permission in person, so I could do it.
("Reminiscence" by Sanullim)
(I walked along the street)
(When I felt)
(As if someone was walking next to me)
(I came to realize)
("Reminiscence" by JYP)
(That you had already gone away)
(You know I was walking all alone)
(All of a sudden, the wind gets chilly)
Do you enjoy singing, Jung Ah?
I used to love it, but since I don't sing often,
my voice doesn't go loud.
If I have a chance to sing...
at least once or twice a year,
I'm too scared to sing now.
My voice is hoarse.
Then how about we listen to bits of your songs here together...
with the audience and choose the song...
you sing the best?
(Which song does Jin Young choose that's best for Jung Ah?)
Do you like the idea?
Are there any songs you enjoy singing at the karaoke?
I sing old songs like...
"One Late Night in 1994".
- Jang Hye Jin? - Yes.
("One Late Night in 1994" by Jang Hye Jin)
(Even after 20 years, lovely melody, lyrics...)
(and deep tone make the song still popular.)
(With emotions in each word like an actor)
(Which song will Jin Young say suits the best for Jung Ah?)
(You sing very well, Jung Ah.)
This song goes very well with her.
She's so empathic.
I know. I guess she's really an actor.
- Her voice is really nice too. - But I thought...
- it is my real voice, but... - It was very nice.
Thank you.
But it doesn't sound like me at all.
That's what I feel.
That happens when you don't sing a lot.
It'll get better when you sing a lot.
- Really? - Everyone, that was number one.
We'll listen to the second song. Number two.
(What is the second candidate song?)
("Invitation" by Uhm Jung Hwa)
(It's a song in Uhm Jung Hwa's 4th album...)
(which JYP composed and wrote the lyrics.)
(Honest lyrics and extreme mood grabbed attention of the public.)
(Which song will Jin Young say is the best for Jung Ah?)
(What is the 3rd candidate song?)
("Then That Person" by Sim Soo Bong)
(Sim's debut song that was popular in 1978 University Song Festival)
(Unique singing and touching melody made revolutionary hit.)
- That person. - That person.
(Trying out for a trot)
(Which song does Jin Young think is the best for Jung Ah?)
- This too... - It goes well with her.
This makes her sound...
- full of warmth. - It goes so well with her.
Now, it's the last song.
The original singer is right beside her.
Please go easy on her.
It's Hyo Ri's "Miss Korea".
(Jung Ah tries "Miss Korea" in front of the original singer.)
("Miss Korea" by Lee Hyo Ri)
(She sings harmony.)
(Duet of Miss Korea Yum Jung Ah and...)
(Lee Hyo Ri, the composer of "Miss Korea")
(They wonder what Park Jin Young would say about them.)
(Which song does Jin Young think is the best for Jung Ah?)
I'm not saying number four because Hyo Ri is here.
What's good about first 3 songs are all in the 4th song.
It's lyrical.
It's rhythmic.
I can tell it's bantering,
so when you sing number 4, it has all the advantages of other songs.
If you have to sing for an important occasion,
I recommend you to sing this one to impress people.
One more thing.
(One more thing on top of that)
You were actually Miss Korea.
It's also about you.
I think you need to teach me the dance too.
I see.
I don't need to wait for another 4 years to see you, do I?
I'm planning to be on TV more often.
I've rested too much that it's tiring.
Since you've warmed up, please appear on TV more often.
Sure. I will do that.
Ladies and gentlemen, did you have fun?
- Yes! - Yes!
This is JYP's...
- Party People! - Party People!
It didn't feel like I was here for a show,
but I felt like I had so much fun.
I'm sure if he enjoys it more,
it'll become a unique music talk show in Korea.
