It's always better when we're together,
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
- Hello. - It's good to see you again.
- It's good to see you again. - Yesterday...
was one of the biggest holidays,
- Chuseok. - That's right.
- Right. - We meet our relatives...
- on national holidays, right? - Yes.
Whenever I meet a scary relative,
I feel uneasy and nervous.
Today, I have a similar feeling somehow.
It's not that we have a lot of guests.
However, just as Myung Soo said,
- He makes me nervous. - Myung Soo feels uncomfortable...
around one of our today's guests.
He's like an older cousin whom you're intimidated by...
- because he's very successful. - I see.
He's much more successful than you.
- As it's a holiday special episode, - Yes.
we have amazing guests.
- That's right. - I was surprised.
This is the best lineup ever.
I can't believe they all will be here.
The total number of years since their debut as singers is 60.
They created a new history in the music industry.
We invited legendary singers.
Today's theme is "The Return of the Legends".
Let's meet them. Please come out!
- Welcome! - Legends, come on!
Lee Seung Chul.
Yun Ho and Chang Min.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Whenever I'm in front of him, my mind...
(It goes outside)
(Singing)
He's been very popular with many hit songs.
The true legend of the music industry,
- Lee Seung Chul! - Lee Seung Chul!
(Lee Seung Chul, the true legend)
Finally, they've been discharged from the military.
The Korean wave king is back as a real man.
- Yun Ho of TVXQ! - Yun Ho!
Hello.
His handsome looks make women's hearts flutter.
- Chang Min. - Chang Min.
- Chang Min of TVXQ! - Hello.
As I always say, I get nervous around top stars.
Myung Soo also gets nervous around a few stars.
There's only one person.
- Is that right? - It's him.
Seung Chul, you haven't met Myung Soo in a while, right?
- It's been a very long time. - I see.
Actually... Well...
I'm sure it's because he's busy.
He rarely calls me.
He doesn't call you.
He sounds unsatisfied.
- He sounds like he's upset with... - He doesn't call me.
Do you call Cho Yong Pil?
You don't call him either.
I can't believe you.
Don't your wives meet up often?
Our wives are in a moms' group.
Your daughters went to...
- the same kindergarten, right? - Won and Min Seo are friends.
- That's right. - Yes.
The group name is "Girls' Generation".
- It's also his song title. - It's a group of the moms...
whose eldest child is a girl.
There are 14 members in the group.
- That's a lot. - It's 28 including the dads.
There are about 50 people when our children also join us.
That's a large group.
- We've known each other... - I like that name.
- since our kids were three. - What do you mean?
- I like the group name so much. - "Girls' Generation".
It's also the girl group's name under my agency.
It's a large agency.
- He interrupted so suddenly. - Exactly.
That's what he should do on a show.
I like what he just did.
- That was good. - It's as if he knows us well.
I thought he was your senior.
"I like that name."
I thought he was Kim Heung Gook.
- Kim Heung Gook. - Well...
I meant to talk with him later on.
- Yun Ho talks differently. - Exactly.
I watched Happy Together often in the military.
I realized that this is the era of self-appeal.
If I...
- don't stand out, - That's right.
- I could be forgotten any time. - It's the era of self-promotion.
- He's right about that. - I'm sorry,
but people don't use the expression "the era of self-appeal".
- I've never heard of it before. - "The era of self-appeal".
We're living in the era of self-appeal.
I've heard "the era of self-promotion".
I like that expression.
Congratulations on your discharge.
(Congratulations on your discharge.)
Congratulations, Chang Min and Yun Ho.
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Chang Min just got discharged.
It hasn't even been a month since I got discharged.
- Not even a month? - Yes.
I got discharged on August 18.
Actually, appearing on a TV show so soon...
makes me feel pressured and nervous.
- Yun Ho got discharge in April. - That's right.
That's why you're trying hard to appeal yourself, right?
- Right. He knows how to survive. - I'm starting to get used to this.
I understand.
Four months is long enough for you to get used to a new environment.
Yun Ho, what was the best thing about coming back from the military?
First of all, when I was in the military,
I felt like time stopped.
Time passes so slowly.
That's right. It's a little thing,
I wasn't allowed to eat jjajangmyeon or drink Coke.
When I got discharged, I was so excited...
that I could finally have those as much as I want.
I was overwhelmingly excited.
So I kept eating that kind of food,
and I gained a lot of weight.
Recently, I lost weight.
- Is that right? - Yes.
- Chang Min, what about you? - I'm curious too.
In fact, there's something that makes me uncomfortable...
about getting discharged.
What's the problem?
I like being alone.
Now my managers and staff members are around me all the time,
but while I was serving in the military,
I was alone in the subway or a bus.
- Is that so? - Yes. I also ate alone.
So, it's uncomfortable to work with Yun Ho, right?
- Do you want to be alone now? - Do you want to be left alone?
We're very happy to see you two as a group after a long time,
- It's time for you to work alone. - but Chang Min...
- We haven't seen them for a while. - That's right.
- Yes. - Sometimes, I miss those times.
Chang Min, was there anything you wanted to do or eat?
All I wanted to do after getting discharged...
was being alone at home.
It's because you had to live with a group of people.
We're very happy to see the two of them together after a long time,
but Chang Min keeps saying that he wants to be alone.
- I didn't mean it like that. - I think I should go home now.
- Right? - No, no.
We're flustered.
You can take a break for 30 minutes if you want.
He keeps saying that he wants to be alone.
I also feel apologetic to Seung Chul.
I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.
Maybe you should record the show with him separately.
(Seung Chul is so cool.)
We invited three legendary singers.
For the past 30 years, Seung Chul...
- performed over 2,000 times. - Is that true?
- It's really amazing. - It's hard to believe.
- I hold over 30 concerts per year. - Exactly.
- I hold 300 concerts in 10 years. - That's right.
I performed over 2,000 times including small gigs.
As those who have been to his concert, he's so nice to his fans.
People usually expect three songs,
but he sings 6 or 7 songs...
in a row.
You're talking about encore performance, right?
Singers usually sing 1 or 2 songs for their encore performances,
- but I sing... - He's amazing.
at least five songs for my encore performance.
There's something that my fans are touched by more than that.
Normally, singers leave the stage when the concert is over.
I don't leave the stage until every audience member leaves.
I stand on the stage.
- I think... - That could make them...
- feel uncomfortable. - They must want to go home.
They have to go, but they can't.
They might have to pay the parking fee.
I didn't know this could be interpreted like this.
This is how our show is.
- We do this all the time. - It's unbelievable.
It's touching for his fans.
His fans must be grateful, but they can go home...
- with a light heart when he leaves. - That's true.
- I take photos with my fans. - He should let them go.
At first, I started doing that to prevent accidents.
- I see. - As the concert halls are large...
- People flock to the exit. - If they leave at the same time,
there are too many people at the exit.
When I stand on the stage, some of them stay,
and some at the back leave the place.
People started to feel touched by what I did.
Could you please stay here to help us clean up the studio?
I have a gig after this.
You have a gig suddenly?
- Why would you ask him to do that? - I thought he could stay.
You're rude.
(They're rude and ruin touching stories.)
Do you think I'm a joke?
- Seung Chul is starting to show... - I'm sorry.
what he's been holding back.
- He's been holding himself back. - He's scary.
The way I see it, things are not going the way Seung Chul wanted.
He expected us to be touched by the story.
I heard your staff members worked with you for a long time...
- almost like public servants. - That's right.
Once people start working with you, they don't quit, right?
The person who worked with me the longest has worked for 23 years.
(The longest period is 23 years.)
- That's unbelievable. - The average period...
The youngest one has worked with me for eight years.
My stylish who came here with me...
has worked with me for 19 years.
Don't you think it's time for you to let them go?
- It's not like that. - For their brighter future.
- It's not like that. - I think he's right.
No, no.
- I think... - It's not like that.
- That's not what I meant. - You should let them go.
We perform on stage.
During a two-and-a-half-hour concert,
I sing between 27 and 30 songs.
I change the theme 3 times in 1 year.
Spring theme, autumn theme, and Christmas theme.
I change the themes every year.
We have to start over from scratch if we have new members.
All of the staff members including the lighting team and audio team...
have been working together for between 10 and 20 years.
They work together really well.
It's too difficult to teach someone every little thing,
so I pay them a lot.
- I see. - They deserve high salaries.
- Do you pay them per project? - In fact...
Per project?
Do they receive annual salaries?
No, they don't.
As Myung Soo said, I pay them per project.
(He came clean.)
(Confession)
- I see. - I wanted a better expression.
Do you pay them on a per-project basis?
- That's right. - I see.
- I pay them on a per-project basis. - I see.
They charge you per project, right?
(They get paid per project.)
They get paid per project.
I like Seung Chul very much, but I feel nervous around him.
Yun Ho and Chang Min, don't you feel nervous around him too?
- How do you feel? - He's your senior by many years.
- In fact, TVXQ is also... - They're a legendary group.
- a veteran idol group now. - That's right.
- They're admired by idol singers. - Absolutely.
How do you feel?
When I didn't know him well,
- I was intimidated by him. - Were you?
But as I had many chances to meet him,
- I know that he's warm-hearted. - I see.
Seung Chul is affectionate to people around him.
- That's right. - Yes.
He always speaks as if he's blurting out some words.
- How? - Show us.
He's sitting here,
and I say hello to him.
Then, he says, "Oh, hi."
"Are you going somewhere? Okay, okay."
"Have you eaten?"
"Okay, okay."
Do you call that warm-hearted?
- Isn't that indifferent? - He sounds half-hearted.
Seung Chul usually says...
short answers.
Tell them how he reacted when you called him on a holiday.
I called him on a national holiday.
- You'll see why he never calls you. - I said, "Seung Chul."
"Hello. It's Yu Jae Seok."
He said, "Oh, hi."
I said, "Are you having a good time on this holiday?"
He said, "Oh, yes."
- "Have a wonderful holiday." - "Oh, yes."
He said, "Okay, okay."
- So I thought... - That's not true.
- After that... - It's a true story.
- So I thought I shouldn't... - Right.
- call him on holidays. - I thought the same thing...
when I called him on a holiday.
- My wife complains about that too. - Does she?
So does my daughter. "Why do you hang up so quickly?"
- I don't have anything to say. - When I ran into Seung Chul...
at a restaurant,
- I said hello to him. - Right.
He said, "Oh, hi." And then, he left.
When did I speak that flippantly?
"Oh, hi. Okay, okay."
However, he paid my bill without even telling me.
(Seung Chul paid for his food without telling him.)
He never says things like "Did you enjoy the meal?"
- "I paid for your food." - He never does that.
He's famous for keeping his wallet open while keeping his mouth closed.
(I praise you.)
- He's so generous. - Are you telling him to keep quiet?
- That's not what I meant. - Do you want him to keep quiet?
I told you these stories...
to explain that it's his own way of expressing his affection.
- He's actually very affectionate. - Of course.
- I meet Yun Ho very often. - Is that right?
Weirdly, I run into him so often.
I run into him at places like a beauty parlor.
- Beauty parlor? - Did you say beauty parlor?
- We don't use that expression now. - We call it hair salon.
That's not all.
I ran into him at the airport on my way to Japan.
I also ran into him at the airport on my way to Gwangju.
We met in the plane many times. We run into each other so often.
It means you both go around often.
It made us get attached to each other.
- That's right. - Of course.
Yun Ho's mother came to see my concert in Gwangju.
My family went to see his concert.
Also, when he held a concert in Seoul,
he invited me.
- He did? - I see.
I was very grateful for his invitation,
but when I found my seat,
I realized that it was the center of the VVIP seats.
I looked around.
I was sitting with elderly people who are important guests.
- You didn't know who they were. - That's right.
- They were sitting in VVIP seats. - The chairman of the association.
- Someone like that. - What made you think...
The chairman of the association is Heung Gook.
- He's not that important. - Please go on.
I tend to cheer loudly at concerts.
- You cheer enthusiastically. - Yes. I'm a big fan of his.
The others in my row were like this.
(The others were applauding in a mannerly fashion.)
I was screaming, "Seung Chul, you're so cool!"
This is how I usually cheer.
In the end, one of them asked me about my group.
What were you asked about?
I was asked who I am.
- That's humiliating. - Yes.
- They asked me who I am. - "Who are you to sit here..."
- "at his important event?" - In the VVIP seat.
- "In the VVIP seat." - "Who are you?"
- So I said... - What did you say?
I said that I'm the leader of TVXQ, U-know Yun Ho.
- You must've been disappointed. - Yes.
One of the group members is full of passion,
and the other wants to spend some time alone quietly.
He's still getting used to the new environment.
Anyway, we're talking with Lee Seung Chul...
- and TVXQ. - Yes.
- TVXQ is a legendary idol group. - Of course.
- Seung Chul is a legendary singer, - Yes.
and Yun Ho and Chang Min are working hard to follow his path.
In 2004, they won many awards as soon as they made their debut.
They were the first male idol group...
to be ranked the top on the Oricon chart.
That's a great achievement.
They were the first group.
I thought they were so great.
It wasn't when they were newcomers.
About 10 years after their debut,
- they started to look so manly. - Is that so?
I saw them in suits at an award, and they looked gorgeous.
I hope they'll work as a group for a long time.
They still have the leader and one member.
- I think they can. - I'm the member.
If just one member leaves the group, the group will be disbanded.
I hope their group won't break up.
Seung Chul, you performed live over 2,000 times.
Almost everyone must've seen you performing. Don't you think so?
- Almost everyone in the country... - That's right.
must've seen you performing, right?
The total number 2,000 includes...
my own concerts...
and other small gigs.
The number of the charged audience members is almost four million.
- Four million? - My gosh.
However, I still ask the audience at my concerts.
I ask if it's anyone's first time at my concert.
- Many people raise their hands. - Really?
- Over 90 percent of them do. - Goodness.
I held my 30th anniversary concerts last year.
I've been holding concerts with new themes this year.
I once read a comment that touched my heart.
- What is it? - Tell us.
"Why do you not appear on TV shows?"
"We'd like to see you perform on TV."
"We can't afford to buy tickets for your concerts."
That's understandable.
"We really want to see you perform on TV."
I was touched and apologetic to the fans.
So when I was trying to come up with a new idea...
for my concerts this year,
I thought of a 50 percent discount for all my concert tickets.
- Really? - Yes.
I'll start offering the discount at the end of this year.
The theme of my concert is "Money Back".
- "Money Back". - You give money back to the fans.
- "Collect your unclaimed money." - Oh, that's what it means.
So many people can come to my concert.
You also perform for free, right?
- Yes, I do. - Is that true?
The concerts I've held until now...
were for myself,
but I think it's time for me...
to repay their love.
I decided to help other people,
repay their love, and share love with others...
for the rest of my life as a singer.
- I hope many will see his concert. - Me too.
(We're rooting for your decision as a legendary singer.)
I heard you performed at the squid festival...
- in Ulleung Island. - That is...
We decided to perform in a culturally isolated area.
- Yes. - We tried to decide on an area.
We picked Ulleung Island.
- They rarely have concerts there. - That's right.
We were organizing the concert in Ulleung Island.
- The district office went crazy. - Why?
They were excited to hold my concert in Ulleung Island.
That's awesome.
As we discussed about my concert,
they suggested I should perform at the squid festival.
- They got ahead of themselves. - As a guest singer.
I meant to perform at the school in Ulleung Island...
or Mara Island inviting the residents...
- You wanted a small concert. - with reed organ and guitar.
I wanted to hold a small, cozy concert,
but they asked me to perform at the squid festival.
They must've thought you could do that too.
- "Since you're coming here..." - That's right.
- Put a dried squid on your head. - That'd be even better.
They suggested I perform at the squid festival.
They also have a pumpkin malt candy festival in Ulleung Island.
However, it's new.
Seung Chul and the squid festival.
They could decorate the guitar so it looks like a squid.
- That's a good idea. - Right?
- I like that idea. - Yes.
- How about you host the show? - Me?
- Put a dried squid on your mic. - Right.
His face looks like a squid.
The three of us should go there together.
We should go there together as a whole package.
We'll be skewed with a bamboo stick.
Just like squids being dried.
- Let's go there together. - Okay.
That sounds great.
(The Squid Festival with Lee Seung Chul)
The two of them have such a deep friendship.
Chang Min applied for a leave...
- on the day of Yun Ho's discharge. - He did?
As it's Chuseok, the viewers...
- must be with their families. - That's right.
While I was serving in the military,
I realized the importance of my family.
I also missed Yun Ho very much.
I wanted to celebrate his discharge from the bottom of my heart.
I applied for a leave to see his face.
I watched the drama "Goblin".
Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo looked great in it.
Even though they're older than us,
they look really amazing.
I hope we can become like them...
as we grow older.
So I told him to lose weight.
I heard you nagged him a lot to lose weight.
I thought to myself, "Of course, I think Gong Yoo..."
"and Lee Dong Wook are cool,"
"but we should aim to outdo them instead of becoming like them."
That's what I thought.
- He's so passionate. - That's so you.
A man must aim high once he has a new goal.
Chang Min looks like he just got scolded.
We don't necessarily have to outdo them.
(Is that right?)
But since you have a goal...
Chang Min likes everything else about Yun Ho,
but he doesn't like Yun Ho's excessive passion.
"We don't have to outdo them."
- "It's enough if we feel happy." - I want to stop him.
- That's why they make a good team. - Exactly.
- That's right. - It doesn't work otherwise.
- They complement each other. - They complement each other.
Chang Min gave Yun Ho a nickname.
- What is it? - He's a very passionate person...
as you could see from how he spoke in front of you.
- He's very passionate. - He is, indeed.
He's so passionate in real life too...
as if there's a flame burning in his heart.
Our staff members and I said he's a rich man when it comes to passion.
- So we call him Passion Mansour. - Passion Mansour?
- I like that nickname. - Me too.
Have you ever seen him overly passionate?
Have you ever been taken aback because of him?
He showed too much passion recently too.
- Something you wish he hadn't done. - Well...
I was rooting for him with all my heart.
It was his first performance since his discharge.
I think he hadn't lost enough weight.
(His weight was the root cause.)
If the stage outfit is made with stretch fabric,
- it doesn't rip. - That's right.
Normally, when singers feel uncomfortable...
dancing in their stage outfit,
- they dance more carefully. - Right.
However, he danced as powerfully as he always do...
as if he can't let his pants stop him from dancing.
When he split his legs, his pants ripped open.
It was another disaster caused by his excessive passion.
So, Chang Min, you think...
that it's good to be enthusiastic, but it's not necessary,
and he always goes overboard, right?
I don't think he really has to go that far.
(This is what happened.)
(His passion exploded.)
(My goodness.)
His pants ripped open.
(He's dancing with his pants ripped open.)
What's that?
Your pants ripped open.
I can't help but look at that part.
He continued dancing to the end.
I didn't stop performing because...
- I didn't want to break the flow. - The audience would be taken aback.
- You knew once it ripped, right? - Yes.
I felt so cool suddenly.
- It must've been cool. - I know what you mean.
- Right at that moment... - You can feel it instantly.
- A cool breeze blows into you. - It's hot on stage.
Then, I felt the cool breeze all of a sudden.
- I knew what happened. - Gosh.
But I didn't want to stop performing.
I thought I should finish it as a courtesy to the audience.
Did it happen at the beginning or in the middle of the song?
- It was the beginning. - Oh, no.
(It even happened at the beginning of the song.)
Did you see the reaction of the audience members like this?
They seemed a bit surprised,
but I was dancing so confidently.
- That's right. - I understand.
There's something weird about it,
but they didn't realize what happened.
They gave me a big round of applause when I was done.
He's so passionate.
For the audience members, you should go on...
- for the audience. - You should continue.
If you get flustered, the audience feel even more flustered.
- If I had stopped performing, - That's right.
I would've ruined their excitement.
After I finished the performance,
I said that I was so excited and nervous about performing...
- after a long time, - That's cool.
- so my pants ripped. - I see.
It looked like a magic trick.
Your pants ripped open at the right beat.
- I think it was natural. - Like this.
- His pants... - That was so professional of him.
Bad luck often brings good luck.
- You can get a good result. - That's right.
- It became the talk of the town. - He's so good with words.
I read a lot of books in the military.
Then, why did you say "the era of self-appeal"?
(Way to go, Yun Ho.)
- What's the most memorable book? - "The Era of Self-Appeal".
I read books about the way of becoming a true leader.
You have only one member.
He's so proud of being the leader when there's only one member.
- Just one member. - I read some other books...
Chang Min, have you ever tried to take over his position as a leader?
Why would he read books about the way of becoming a leader?
It's so hard to be a true member.
He's obsessed with his position as the leader.
Chang Min, I mean, Yun Ho...
They came on the show after a long while,
but Yun Ho is trying too hard to stand out.
Yun Ho, you should have...
- helped Chang Min out too. - So he can stand out too.
- That's the true leadership. - Exactly.
- I... - That's why he wants to be alone.
As long as Yun Ho is happy...
and enthusiastic about his work,
I am satisfied.
(The way of becoming a true member)
Passion Mansour.
- I'm satisfied as we are. - Look at him.
- Seriously. - He looks so downcast.
- My gosh. - Look at your only group member.
Chang Min is your only group member.
How could you do that to Chang Min?
They look like a most common married couple...
- Exactly. - considering how they behave.
(They're the sweetest couple among all the idol singers?)
- Don't you think so? - Chang Min feels like a wife.
I heard you guys are called TVXQ Couple.
Really?
- I think they'll last a long time. - Why?
I have a feeling that they'll last a long time.
I think they're compatible with each other.
I guess you guys have never had a fight.
- We never fight. - Why?
It's because I lose.
(I can't beat the leader.)
- That was good. - It's funny.
- Chang Min is so funny. - That's a good thing.
- It's better to cater to him. - Yes.
Yun Ho's excessive enthusiasm sometimes gives you a hard time.
Whenever I start doing something,
I tend to see it through.
I don't take it to the end.
A man must finish what he started.
You don't necessarily have to finish everything you started.
Chang Min stops him from going overboard.
I was worried that he was so different from me,
so I once told him,
"Hey, let's have a talk man to man..."
"and try something new."
- There's something he says often. - What is it?
"Yun Ho, every person feels the speed differently."
- Then, I said, - He's very calm.
"I understand that we're different,"
"but I think we should get to know each other better."
"Let's celebrate our birthdays together and call each other often."
"Let's try to build a bond."
He said, "You don't force things to go. Let things go naturally."
- With your heart. - Right.
- Such things he said... - He's very immature.
made me realize...
that we have similar perspectives. I'm very happy about that.
Yun Ho said he read a lot of books,
but it seems that Chang Min is the one who read a lot of books.
You two will maintain your friendship forever.
- Thank you. - As Seung Chul said,
- because they're different, - That's right.
they're compatible with each other and will last a long time.
- You can see them growing together. - That's right.
He's a legendary singer, and he's also an ideal husband.
He's famous as an exemplary family man.
I met him often,
but he's never fought with his wife.
- Is that right? - His wife takes care of...
- everything he needs. - That's not possible.
- You've never fought with her? - What I envy him the most is...
that his wife chooses his clothes to wear.
- I'm so envious of him. - Did she pick these too?
- He looks great. - He looks gorgeous today.
(His wife chose what to wear today as always.)
It's different when I'm on TV or stage.
There are some people who advise me...
about which kind of clothes look better on me.
My wife's advice is different from my manager's.
They have different opinions and preferences.
- So I dress differently. - When we meet up,
Seung Chul listens to his wife.
Are you afraid of her?
Well, she's older than me,
so it's better if I listen to her.
You seem so nervous even while you're talking about her.
- He's sitting so politely. - Talking about her made me polite.
He talked comfortably before, but suddenly he became so polite.
I'm sweating all of a sudden.
My gosh. I'm sweating.
I thought you were going to come clean about something shocking.
- I structure a sentence in advance. - I see.
I heard Seung Chul's second daughter Won...
- has a lot of talents. - Is that right?
- She has a lot of talents. - What talents does she have?
- She's good at doing everything. - Is she?
She gets good grades. She's also good at sports,
art, and music.
- How old is she? - She's 10 years old.
She sings very well.
When she joins a national singing contest,
she always comes in 2nd or 3rd place.
- She is always in top three. - The way Won sings...
is different from the others.
- How is it different? - She is very good.
The way she delivers emotions is different.
- What kind of songs does she sing? - She is born with that talent.
She is well-versed in classical singing.
I don't know if she has the perfect pitch,
but she has learned how to sing from the age of 5 or 6.
- Really? - She surprises my family.
She can perfectly sing all songs by Adele.
- Adele? - She can sing all songs by Adele.
She can sing exactly like Adele.
Will you raise her as a singer?
While I am not interested in making her a singer,
I do make her take lessons...
for violin, guitar, and piano,
She is learning how to play those instruments.
For someone who isn't interested, you make her learn a lot.
I think he wants her to be a singer.
It sounds like you want her to be Michael Jackson.
I am taking precautions in case she wants to be a singer.
Your words don't add up,
but we won't question you further.
- It sounds like you are interested. - Since it's the long weekend,
we are trying to wrap things up nicely.
There are so many things she want.
She wants to be a zoologist.
- Really? - Yes.
Her dream is unrelated to music.
Does Won have time to sleep?
There are so many things she want.
Chang Min, what is your opinion on Won's hard work?
I want to take a step back and applaud her.
"I want to take a step back..."
"and applaud her."
It's better to be good at one thing.
Won is good at her studies as well as art and sports.
She also goes on family trips on the weekends.
The thing is...
How many Wons are there?
Are you sure you have only one child named Won?
I feel like...
there is more than one.
He used to call me and say,
"Come with Min Seo to have dinner." Then he stopped doing that...
because he goes to Muju with his family on weekends.
I am heading there today.
Didn't you say earlier that you have a concert?
- For goodness' sake. - His...
- words don't add up. - Seriously.
I am heading there on the day this episode airs.
- That's what I meant. - I see.
You have a concert on the day of the shoot.
Then you have a trip during the long weekend...
when this episode airs.
- He will go camping. - I will be in Muju when this airs.
You will be in Muju when this airs.
Today, you have a concert after the shoot.
Will you go camping with Won and your wife?
That's right. We like traveling in Korea these days.
We visit valleys across the country.
Odae Mountain. Deogyu Mountain.
My children and I catch trouts in the valley.
Really?
Being with my children for an entire week in Seoul...
and camping with them for 1 night and 2 days...
are completely different.
My children and I become close.
That's why I strongly recommend camping.
The experience gives you a different kind of memories...
- with your children. - He is a good dad.
- Life is like that. - Gosh, I feel bad.
When you die,
you leave with your memories, not your money.
That's what I believe.
I heard Chang Min nags Yun Ho to lose weight.
You talked about it briefly earlier.
Had you gained a lot of weight?
- You eat a lot in the army. - That's right.
- You lead an orderly life. - That's right.
That's why I gained weight in a short amount of time.
I am sure you bulked up instead of getting fat.
- No, he got fat. - Really?
- He is stern. - How did he look?
I was in my own unit...
when I saw an article online that contained...
a picture of him giving a performance.
I clicked on it to see his picture.
I don't know...
if it's because he was the fattest I had seen him,
but his pants ripped during the performance.
- Did your pants rip? - Do you do that on purpose?
You should wear bigger pants.
I want Yun Ho to always look cool on the stage.
- You want him to look cool. - That's why I told him...
to lose weight. He is cool.
When you are on the stage, do you think, "He is cool"?
- I think each and every moment. - Really?
- My goodness. - It sounds like he is brainwashed.
I want Yun Ho to always stand out, dazzle,
and look cool.
I only want to stand next to him.
He is a supportive partner.
When you look at the history,
it's always the people like him who aim to overthrow the king.
- "Yun Ho is the best." - That's right.
- "The king is the best." - He puts the others at ease.
Are you putting the others at ease...
to steal the leader's position?
Jae Seok, I want you to look after your health...
and shine more.
You only sound supportive.
- You only sound supportive. - I will really do that.
I am serious.
I love that he and I are...
of the same mind. I will really do that.
A relationship lasts long once it is formed.
That's right.
Yun Ho is full of passion. In the army, he received...
outstanding scores in all subjects such as target practice and fitness.
- You are full of passion. - He was a special soldier.
It's hard to be honored as a special soldier.
You could have become a career soldier.
- He is a son-in-law material. - I did get an offer.
- Really? - Yes.
They suggested that I work as a staff sergeant...
before Chang Min is discharged.
I almost said yes because that would have made me...
the first celebrity to become a staff sergeant.
- I see. - I went to my agency and said...
- I want to be a staff sergeant. - Really?
- You told your agency. - They asked,
"Must you do that?"
(I almost lost him.)
He received an award from the Army Chief of Staff.
An award from the Army Chief of Staff.
He scored over 90 points in target practice and fitness.
(He doesn't lack in any way.)
Chang Min, you served in the army around the same time.
He worked hard and became a special soldier.
- I was... - You were only a soldier.
I was satisfied with simply being a soldier.
I don't know why he had to do that.
However, unlike what he's saying right now,
I heard that Chang Min ran like crazy...
when he was in the army...
so that he wouldn't be compared to younger men.
When you do push-ups and sit-ups, you fight against yourself.
- That's right. - It's about how many you can do.
- One day, we had to run 1.5km. - It's hard.
I was 29 years old at the time.
Most men who enlisted with me were 20 or 21 years old.
That's right.
Walking to the starting line, my friends said,
"You won't collapse to take a break, will you?"
My goodness.
I was determined to show them what a man pushing 30 can do...
when he has taken good care of his body.
That's a bit different from his usual self.
You must have been determined.
I didn't want to lose to those youngsters...
when they were provoking me.
I finished fourth out of hundreds of soldiers.
- That's amazing. - That's impressive.
- Out of hundreds of soldiers. - Yes.
It was the time...
my passion burned the most brightly in the army.
- It was just that one time. - That's right.
It can't be helped...
because people want to see...
how a member of TVXQ does.
- That's right. - Too many people are watching.
We have to prove that it's not easy to be a member of TVXQ.
Was that the thought on your mind?
I just didn't want to lose to them.
(His thought differs from the passionate Yun Ho.)
I see.
Chang Min must be annoyed.
Yun Ho, you are so passionate...
- that you invented something. - Really?
- Did you obtain a patent? - He obtained a patent.
Did you invent something?
What did Yun Ho invent?
When I was asked about my hobby in the past,
I said that it's inventing.
People thought I was lying. However, I really was inventing.
- You were inventing. - Yes.
- I was lucky. - What did you invent?
It's a two-layer cup with a slot for a capsule.
- What is that? - Did you bring it?
(What about a capsule? A two-layer cup?)
- Did you bring it? - It's a letter patent.
Does he have a letter patent?
- My goodness. - He has a letter patent.
- You have a letter patent. - Yes.
How does this cup work? I don't think I understand.
When you drink a cup of coffee, you get some leftover in a capsule.
You can leave it in the slot so that you can make another cup.
You put espresso in this slot.
That's how mixed drinks are made.
- You can use it for mixed drinks. - That's how mixed drinks are made.
It works in a similar way.
Was it made into a product?
My goal was to have a letter patent.
I am not interested in making it into a product.
Are there only goals in your life?
I think I get it.
He is hilarious.
You only wanted the qualification.
I wanted to get a letter patent.
- "I did it." - That's right.
It's for my own satisfaction.
The others take 2 or 3 steps forward when I take a step forward.
I learned that it's all about making an appeal.
"It's all about making an appeal."
Do you have more?
There are a few I am working on.
Why don't you invent pants that don't rip?
(He is full of ideas.)
- Otherwise... - Invent pants that won't rip...
- despite your passion. - Not even a split will rip them.
They don't rip.
You must act fast when you have an idea.
People are bound to have similar ideas.
- He is like Steve Jobs. - It's impressive.
It's different from a patent,
but you have many copyrighted songs.
You have 185 copyrighted songs?
I didn't write all of them. They are simply under my name.
Seung Chul, which song earns you the most amount of money?
- Which song is it? - From the songs I wrote,
"Girls' Generation" and "Fate" do.
- "Fate". - Yes. I wrote the music and lyrics.
- It's an incredible song. - "Western Sky".
"Western Sky".
I sometimes gave away the copyrights despite making numerous revisions.
- I see. - I would never do that now.
- Back then... - I did it to look cool.
- "I make enough to make a living." - "I don't need it."
- "I don't need it." - That's right.
There are times ideas flow out.
It was the same with "There Is Only You".
I was at an afterparty...
after finishing up an album.
A friend of mine had come from the US.
He said that there is a song I must listen to and played it.
It was incredible. I went home right away...
and wrote the lyrics. I recorded the song the next day.
Then I recorded and added the musical accompaniment.
It became the title song in three days.
- "There Is Only You". - That's "There Is Only You".
Some songs are made easily.
On the other hand, there is a time...
when writing a single line takes all day.
I had spent an entire day at a desk.
- I hadn't even used a toilet. - Which song is it?
That's...
(What was the title?)
a fast-tempo song of mine. It's not very popular.
It wasn't that great.
The ideas didn't come to you.
Your eldest daughter is 27 years old already.
I heard that you told you daughter...
to bring a son-in-law like you.
- That's right. - That would be amazing.
I realize today that a son-in-law like Yun Ho would be nice too.
- That would be amazing. - He is great.
(He bows to Seung Chul.)
Do you want to get married?
I want to work some more.
You can have my copyrights.
That's a generous offer.
"I will give you my copyrights."
(Will that change your mind?)
Do you not like Chang Min?
(He becomes speechless.)
My goodness.
(It's a sudden contest to be Seung Chul's son-in-law.)
I think I will be bored.
- He could treat you better. - That's right.
You wouldn't know unless it actually happens.
You want a passionate man...
- for your son-in-law. - That's right.
I heard that Chang Min wanted to be a member of Super Junior.
- What does that mean? - I am not surprised.
What does that mean?
Yun Ho and I are the only members of the group.
- Yun Ho is too passionate. - That's right.
He is full of the fighting spirit when he works.
While Super Junior...
works hard when it's necessary,
the members joke around.
When one member falls asleep in the waiting room,
the other pour a bucket of water over him.
They prank each other. It can be a bit too much,
but I like their mischievous side.
You like how free-spirited they are.
They break free from their passion for a moment...
and pull small pranks.
They find enjoyment in their daily lives.
Yun Ho doesn't do anything that deviates from the goal, right?
He doesn't pour water on you.
That means I would have to get my makeup done again.
It's a setback to his goal.
(It's a setback to the passionate man.)
(He can't deny it.)
It can affect the voice too.
You use cold water, after all.
It's a loss in many ways.
That's why I said...
I have maybe thought about...
paying a certain amount of money...
to work as a member of Super Junior.
(It's a cute wish.)
- You were joking. - That's right.
I said it jokingly,
but I heard that my words made Yun Ho upset.
You were upset to hear those words, right?
I was very angry.
(I was very angry.)
As you know,
(The more you hear from him, the more charming he becomes.)
TVXQ is a brand name...
- all of us worked hard to achieve. - That's right.
I would compliment him...
if he suggests collaborating with Super Junior.
Hearing that he wants to work...
for a different group, I felt incredulous.
He took my joke way too seriously.
I felt incredulous.
(He took my joke way too seriously.)
He really did.
(Yun Ho's passion never wavers.)
I heard it was also thanks to Super Junior...
that you came to value Yun Ho.
Is that true?
Si Won, Dong Hae, and I...
were in the same unit.
The three of us...
chatted and laughed together on a regular basis.
However, when they began to worry about working...
as members of Super Junior upon their discharge,
they left me...
and talked amongst themselves.
"You are almost a member of Super Junior."
They said that often.
When they went away on their own,
I realized that I only have my family to turn to.
"My passionate partner is the best."
- "My passionate partner". - It showed.
While Super Junior is great,
TVXQ is also great and I am proud of that.
- You have pride. - I have pride.
We have passion and pride...
that aren't any lesser than those of other groups.
We shouldn't think of them as burdens.
I don't think it's the attitude an artist should have.
I wanted to distance myself from that passion for a second.
Did you prepare a way to show your passion?
Since we visited a variety show after a long break,
we had planned to give a performance together.
However, Chang Min has only recently returned to the society.
- I don't have enough passion yet. - I will represent the both of us.
The studio is small.
You had planned to bring 30 backup dancers.
(30 people won't fit in this studio.)
Chang Min, did you know...
Yun Ho had planned to bring 30 backup dancers?
The broadcasting station is too small to contain...
Yun Ho's passion.
I think KBS is too small...
to contain Yun Ho's passion.
Let's take a look at Yun Ho's performance.
(Yun Ho's passionate performance will be revealed.)
All right.
(He will make women's heart flutter with his passion.)
(Let's check it out.)
My goodness.
What a dance!
- He is full of passion. - Imitate the dance.
It's impossible to imitate that dance.
Every song of theirs is passionate.
Seriously.
(With his impossibly long limbs...)
(and dancing skills, he exudes charisma.)
My goodness.
That's impressive.
Seriously.
(There is no way to escape from his charm.)
He is good.
(There is no way to escape from his charm.)
(It was a textbook example of appealing to the audience.)
He is good.
This is a song that made him rip his pants.
My pants ripped during this part.
That's right.
I performed successfully for the first time today.
- How nice! - He is cool.
His dance looked powerful...
- thanks to his long limbs. - That's right.
The set would have collapsed had 30 people danced together.
The camera crew has to leave if there are 30 more people.
I heard that you were tall back in your days, Seung Chul.
I was tall.
- Who were shorter than you? - What?
Who were shorter than you?
Kim Bun Ryong.
Jeon Young Rok.
What about Park Nam Jung?
Nam Jung is a shorty.
(Sad)
A shorty!
(It's an insult that comes from small differences.) subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I was tall.
Seung Chul debuted in 1986.
Yun Ho was born in 1986.
- Yes, I am. - My goodness.
The music industry has changed a lot.
- Things are different now. - They are 18 years apart.
Do you remember what it was like back then? It was very different.
They wouldn't understand.
- Sunglasses were prohibited. - Were they prohibited?
Men couldn't have long hair.
- There were regulations on hair. - People couldn't dye their hair.
English songs were prohibited.
Every foreign song was remade.
That's right.
"Come back" and such lyrics were translated.
Listening to you brings back memories.
I debuted with a cassette.
(Cassette is a relic of the past.)
I debuted with a cassette.
Then there was vinyl. We said, "I released a vinyl."
No one said that these days.
- Back then, vinyl was used. - "I released a vinyl."
When artists promoted their songs at a broadcasting station,
the managers carried around vinyl. "He released a vinyl."
That's right.
The new vinyl was transported by a truck to a broadcasting station.
The managers moved busily to promote the songs.
I did it myself without hiring a manager.
That's right.
I should have joined SM Entertainment.
I should have struck a deal with Soo Man...
when I named a girl group Girls' Generation.
Back then, artists didn't make money from selling the albums.
These days, artists make money.
What if the album sold a million copies?
- We still didn't make a penny. - Why not?
The producer took everything.
The recording label did too.
There were no regulations on those unfair contracts.
Because of that, the artists made money...
- through commercials and events. - They performed at events.
The number of events and commercials told an artist's popularity.
I performed at 10 or 11 events in a night.
- Is that possible? - Yes.
When did you get done?
I got done around 4 or 5am.
Then you came home.
I bet he went to street vendors.
The lineup was written...
in the waiting room.
10pm, Sobangcha. 10:30pm, Park Nam Jung.
10:45pm, Lee Seung Chul.
There was a list.
Then those artists would travel as a group...
and end up at a street vendor in Jamwon-dong.
We would meet up and drink soju.
The artists cared a lot about each other back then.
Top 1 to top 20 artists must have been close.
Top 1 to top 20 artists almost always traveled together.
They went to events together.
- Back in the days, the situation... - That's right.
brought them close.
What is it like these days?
There is something that surprised me.
There are a lot more members in a group now.
Yes, there are. You are right.
Back in the days, we thought TVXQ had a lot of members.
- That's right. - There were five of us.
Looking at Super Junior,
- we felt dizzy. - "How will we remember the names?"
Then came I.O.I.
Wanna One.
I couldn't help but think...
that I must memorize their names to stay on top of my game.
- Your passion flared up again. - That's right.
- "I will memorize their names." - You didn't care about the number.
These days, you have to study their names.
I must commit myself like I am preparing for a test.
I hosted the debut performance of Wanna One.
I spent all night memorizing their names.
- It was hard... - Of course it was.
because there are so many members.
- That's understandable. - I practiced over and over again.
Chang Min, you were determined...
to win against the youngsters at the army.
What comes to mind when you see Wanna One?
I don't feel any sense of rivalry.
- I want them to follow their path. - That's right.
That's a good answer.
I think Yun Ho would think differently.
- Right. - What do you think, Yun Ho?
- Do you still desire to win? - We need to show everyone...
what we got after years of experience.
People need to know...
- that not everything new is good. - Right.
- He's right. - Did you hear that?
- It's... - That's an old way of saying.
- Is it? I see. - Yes.
I haven't heard the word "new generation" for a long time.
- Yes. - It's great.
- When our years of experience... - Yes.
- combine with our know-hows, - Right.
- a new culture is born. - Right.
Great.
TVXQ is still amazing.
- Yes. - Aren't they amazing?
Recently, I went to Japan...
and talked to someone in the entertainment industry.
I asked him about the Korean wave in Japan.
I asked who is the most popular.
He said Twice is very popular.
Twice is unbelievably popular.
Their posters are everywhere.
I asked about the most popular boy group.
After mentioning a few names,
he said TVXQ is still the best.
When I heard that, I felt so proud.
- I'm happy to hear that. - Even in Japan,
only the top singers get to perform at...
Nissan Stadium. They were the first foreign group to perform there.
The stadium must host...
- an unbelievably large audience. - Unbelievably large.
- The gates... - How many people can it host?
A full house would be 75,000 people.
We prepared a clip of their concert.
Let's watch it.
- What's that? - Are those people?
- Are they all people? - Are they?
- When was it? - Was this in Japan?
Nissan Stadium.
It was when we performed at Nissan Stadium in 2013.
Did only the two of you perform...
for those hours?
- Just the two of you? - Yes.
- Were they mostly Japanese? - All of them.
- You must've not felt tired at all. - I admire them.
- I felt very proud. - I bet.
They are shouting "TVXQ" in Japanese.
- We were so thankful. - I admire them so much.
Saying that we are thankful might sound cliche.
But think about a foreign singer...
having a concert in Korea...
and imagine that many people gathering to see him.
- It's unbelievable. - So we were...
truly grateful to everyone.
Seung Chul, if you were born just a little later,
I wouldn't have been able to see you here.
I wouldn't even meet you.
That would've been nice.
- That would be too sad. - Thank you anyway.
We had to meet.
- He's a kindhearted person. - Thank you.
- He'd be sad not to meet you. - He's kindhearted.
By the way, Chang Min...
told us a little bit about Yun Ho.
He said Yun Ho likes showing his performance videos...
- and glorifying himself. - No way.
It's...
- His memoirs. - Something like that.
When I first...
joined the agency,
Yun Ho used to...
work with Dana...
- as her rapper and dancer. - Is that right?
(Dana's 1st album song "Diamond")
(The young Yun Ho was the rapper.)
He saw me...
and told me to come near him.
He took me to the living room where a TV was,
and he pressed play. It was Dana's performance video,
so I thought he was trying to make me...
learn from a more experienced singer's performance.
About the halfway through it, someone jumped out onto the stage,
And Yun Ho said that was him.
(Watch closely. That's me.)
He kept pointing that it was him.
I thought he only did it to me,
but whenever new trainees came in after me,
he made them watch his performance videos...
- like a custom. - They were educational.
There's a reason why I did that.
This happened before we became TVXQ.
Competition is very intense during the training.
- Right. - There were 100 trainees.
So by showing my videos, I wanted to tell the new trainees...
that it wasn't an easy place to be...
and that it's better to leave if they want to slack.
In order for my words to be persuasive, I thought...
I would show them my performance videos before I talk to them.
That's why I played the video whenever new people came.
- "Watch how great I am." - First, I tell them to watch it.
- What lesson can you get from it? - What lesson can they get from it?
It should've made them think that they should work hard...
- to be like me. - You pressured them.
What did Chang Min say when you asked that question?
He didn't say a word.
I didn't know what to say.
We are finding more truths about Yun Ho.
- Yes. - He's not only a passionate man...
but also a great adviser.
People say that you are an advice addict.
He passionately gives advices to people.
But an advice is useful...
- only if the other party wants it. - The other party should want it.
If the other party doesn't want it, it becomes nagging.
- But... Yes. - Do they ask for your advice?
- They ask for my advice. - Who are these people?
Exo is one.
I heard you give advice to...
each of Exo members on the phone.
If I give an advice to only one person,
I am afraid the other members would be envious and jealous...
- of that person. - They might get jealous.
That happens when you're still a rookie.
They might not think like that at all.
I was just being careful.
So I talked to every member and told them about their strengths.
I gave advices to each member according to their character.
I heard you gave an advice to Son Ho Jun too.
(Chang Min bursts into laughter.)
(He can't believe it.)
- That's an honest reaction. - It is.
You give advices to everyone.
- That's not it. - How many advices do you give?
- You are like an old person. - Why do you do that?
You should write a book.
- Why do you give advices? - He should write a book.
I've been friends with Ho Joon since high school.
- You're best friends. - Yes.
And he became very popular with "Reply 1994".
While boosting his confidence, I gave him an advice.
I told him to always remember his past.
When you suddenly gain popularity,
you have to spend a lot to maintain your newly-gained status,
and you might forget how you were in the past.
- That's a great advice. - I'm sure he knew better though.
You become lofty.
I was just worried.
There was an aspect of him that I really loved.
I told him he would be amazing as long as he keeps that.
Can you give us advices too?
But I am younger than you.
- It's fine. - That doesn't matter.
Give an advice...
to Seung Chul too.
In the past...
- It's all right. - Give him...
- an advice. - In the past...
He's a living witness to the Korean music industry.
So he should stay healthy...
and take care of himself well...
so that he can become an example to many young singers.
I learned a lot from him too.
Then take me to SM Entertainment.
(Oh, dear.)
I will get...
When Seung Chul asked him to take him to...
SM Entertainment, Yoon Ho suddenly closed his mouth.
(He suddenly became quiet.)
- Please take me. - That's...
That's going to be difficult.
He should stay healthy while I grow my power.
Can he submit a health checkup report to you?
He will go get it.
- I will get it. - Yoon Ho the Ardent Advisor...
- became... - A health checkup report.
very flustered.
It would be amazing to have him at our agency.
Is that right? Can he transfer right away?
But my words are not good enough.
It should be discussed with many people.
Right. There's a procedure.
It's not something you can decide by yourself.
During the pre-shoot interview,
Chang Min said that he's worried about his low confidence level.
When I was serving the army,
my hair was very short,
and it made me a little shy.
When I went home for a vacation, I went to a convenience store.
Young kids in the village saw me...
and said, "I think I saw that old man somewhere."
They called me an old man.
Someone said, "Isn't he a member of Exo?"
And another person said, "He's Exo."
- Exo lived in the same village. - I see.
And one of the kids said something really hurtful.
"I think Exo members are younger than him."
My goodness.
- That really hit me hard. - You must've been shocked.
Did you not say anything to the kids?
You should've done the TVXQ dance for them.
What good would it do to dance in front of kids?
(It wouldn't have done any good.)
- I just... - You didn't have to do it.
- His shoulders are drooped. - Chang Min...
got shocked, but he took it in.
He just accepted it as his fate.
- Did you just walk away? - I did.
I heard Yun Ho asks kids if they know him.
I'll tell you what happened.
I got a vacation leave from the army...
and went to an amusement park.
A group of young girls was gathered.
They were debating whether BTS or Exo was the best.
"BTS is the best. No, Exo is the best."
I wanted TVXQ to be there too.
(Exo versus TVXQ versus BTS)
You are amazing.
- He's amazing. - You would just walk away.
I wouldn't want to get involved in their fight.
He is the best.
- So what happened? - So I saw them.
Since I was...
wearing a mask, I went up to them...
and asked if they know TVXQ.
They said they knew.
I asked what they think about TVXQ.
They said TVXQ dances and sings live well,
but they are a little old for them.
"They are not old."
I said to them.
They added, "Exo and BTS are more handsome though."
I said, "TVXQ guys are taller."
And they asked why I kept talking about TVXQ.
I was wearing a mask,
so I said I am not an old man.
You became very childish.
I realized...
- something had to be done. - Something had to be done.
- You had to pull down the mask. - I had to pull it down.
It was the time to pull down the mask.
At that point, I forgot that I had gained weight.
I pulled it down and said, "It's me."
- "I am U-Know Yun Ho." - What did they say?
They said, "What are you talking about? He's serving the army."
They said they know how Yun Ho looks,
and Yoon Ho has bigger eyes and a smaller face.
They said my face was too big.
They must have thought you were just a crazy man.
- An old man who dances well. - I kept persuading them.
I told them I know Exo's numbers...
- and that I knew... - That's so childish.
- I went that far. - Did you really do that?
They finally realized that I was Yun Ho from TVXQ...
and said they would cheer for me.
I said I would talk about this incident one day on a talk show.
- It was... - That's really funny.
I...
- I've been waiting for this. - We don't know who they are,
but Yoon Ho kept the promise.
- So... - He kept the promise.
While listening to the story, you kept nodding.
- What were you thinking? - You gained more fans.
I thought he's very different to me.
I don't think everyone in the nation should know me.
(Should everyone in the nation know me?)
- Right. - That's a perfect thing to say.
- That was well said. - What he said is true.
He's right. You'd be thankful if many people know you,
but not everyone has to know you.
He's amazing.
- Did Yun Ho change your ideals? - Chang Min?
These days, I want someone...
who makes me feel comfortable when we are together.
Right now, I always spend time this passionate man.
So I don't want to meet another passionate person.
It will drive you mad.
It will make you crazy.
I thought he was going to say that Yun Ho made him...
want to meet someone passionate.
He's the last passionate person I am going to meet.
- Is he the last flame? - Yes.
- Last flame. - No more passionate people.
But wouldn't it be nice if your date is passionate?
I want someone who's calm.
I think...
- it would be nice. - Your ideals changed.
Many people waited for your group to come back as a whole.
When will you come out with a new song?
I think we will come back with a new album early next year.
It will be then.
It might not satisfy your passion,
we will look forward to listening to your new album next year.
We already started preparing for it.
I am afraid of mentioning about it.
- He's amazing. - I was really surprised.
The concept for the album hasn't been decided yet,
and he started recording the songs one year ahead of time.
He's amazing. He's an early bird.
He's amazing. He is truly great.
Seung Chul, you have a lot of upcoming concerts.
Watching Yun Ho being so full of passion,
I realized I shouldn't be lazy...
and that I should work hard.
All right. They inspired us...
to be more passionate and more energetic.
- I am motivated too. - Thank you for that.
This is Chuseok special, "The Return of the Legends".
We prepared gifts for our three guests.
It's a luxurious neck pillow.
It's perfect for long distance travels.
- We could read. - We hope you use it well.
- Thank you. - All right.
We will come back with The Legendary Big Mouth.
We hope you enjoy your holiday with your family.
See you later.
(Thank you, Seung Chul, Yun Ho, and Chang Min.)
(The Legendary Big Mouth)
(This segment has gotten very popular,)
(and today, they are in Konkuk University area.)
(It's the Legendary Idol Special.)
("Red Flavor" is very popular in karaoke.)
(Red Velvet is the best!)
(Will Red Velvet go home early?)
(They beg for mercy.)
(It's a battle to go home.)
(The chance is given in the order of the singing scores.)
(Hwanhee's amazing singing became an issue.)
(Fly to the Sky scored 92.)
(The result of karaoke singing competition is reveled.)
(Min Woo sang "Look at Only Me".)
(Red Velvet sang Girls' Generation's "Gee".)
(Rapper Joon sang "Just Once".)
(The order is decided.)
- Red Velvet came last. - That's good.
(They came last.)
(Fly to the Sky came first.)
Are we starting?
- As we speak, it turned 2pm. - It turned 2pm.
Let's start the countdown. 5, 4,
3, 2,
- It's like welcoming a new year. - 1.
Here we go.
- Let's do it. - This is the start. Cheers.
Sing My Song.
Come on!
- Now... - Go, g.o.d!
- This is Sing My Song. - Let's go.
- Now, - Let's go home early.
you will go home when someone sings your song.
Let's see which songs they are singing at Room One.
- They are... - Shall we check it?
Let's check what they are singing.
Let's check Room One.
(Lim Chang Jung's "The Love I Committed")
It's Lim Chang Jung's song.
- Our songs are... - They're singing ballad.
- Let's check Room Three. - out of the question.
- Are they done? - Yes.
(M.C The Max's "No Matter Where")
Next song is Kim Kyung Ho.
He should've been here today.
- He came too early. - Right.
The weather is a disadvantage for us.
You see... When this episode gets aired,
- your songs will be popular. - Right.
- Is that why they're singing it? - They're a week late.
- Is that why they're singing it? - It's late for the singers.
Many people will sing your songs next week.
Next week. You should tour around karaokes.
Yes.
G.o.d's "Lie" might top the chart again.
It hasn't been long since we began,
- it seems like... - They're great.
- nobody is going home soon. - It doesn't suit them.
What if nobody sings any of our songs? Will we stay here?
The shoot will still finish at 5pm.
- Joon said something good. - This is bad.
- If... - They choose from the chart.
If all four teams fail today...
- That will be a big issue. - Right.
It will be an issue, but...
We should just live here.
- Right. - Goodness.
- We can't help it. - How can this happen?
But you get to use the chance. Someone must succeed.
You get to use the chance. Don't you worry.
They might sing Red Velvet's song.
- This situation is... - Wait. 16, 17, 18,
- 19. Here we go. - Room Two...
- Here we go. - Red Velvet.
(Will they sing Red Velvet's "Red Flavor"?)
("Red Flavor" by Red Velvet)
(They just passed it.)
(Too bad!)
- Goodness. - They passed it.
- Did they pass it? - They passed it.
I wasn't being happy.
- Now... - There you go.
- Everyone, - They stopped.
what's important that people sing your song.
I hope they sing any of our songs.
- It's... - I hope someone gets to go home.
There are too many people here.
I am sorry to say this,
but this is by far the worst day we've had.
- I think nobody will succeed. - Why do you say that?
Ye Ri looks...
Now some time has passed, so please tell us honestly.
Did you expect to go home early?
Yes. I even made an appointment.
- What? - Really?
- She's unbelievable. - Really?
- Today... - That's understandable.
Who did you make an appointment with?
I was planning to visit my family.
I heard we might leave early.
So I thought I'd go home.
- Call them and... - Tell them you're coming next week.
- I won't be able to go today. - You won't be able to visit them.
I wonder how Andy feels. How do you feel?
Me? I have given up.
You can't give up just yet. You have a lot of time left.
You never know. Your fans might be here.
How do you feel Min Woo?
I want to go back in time.
I want to go back to 1998.
Or 1999.
- You'd be so popular. - You would've gone home.
- I know. - Everyone would sing your songs.
- Please ask them. - People will sing g.o.d's songs.
They are having so much fun.
How do you feel, Brian?
I have a suggestion. It won't be possible for us,
but in the future, I think you should put...
one of the guest's songs on the popular song chart.
Then people might sing it. It's one way to do it.
- Can't you do that? - It's...
- I am sorry, but... - We don't run this karaoke.
- We can't control the chart. - We can't do it.
In order to change the chart,
- we have to call the headquarter. - Instead of trying to make...
their song popular, he's asking us to put it on the chart.
- It's... - That's how frustrated he is.
- Right. - Joon.
Can you play our music video on the screen?
- That's nice. - Right.
That is a great idea.
(Let us tell you about these people.)
(Shinhwa is the longest standing idol group without a member change.)
(They debuted in the 20th century, and they're still going strong.)
(They are the indestructible top idol group.)
(Fly to the Sky has been singing great songs all along.)
(Rank number 1 goes to Fly to the Sky's "You You You".)
(They've sung many masterpieces.)
(Getting old with their fans,)
(g.o.d. keeps making good memories with them.)
(We are thankful that we live in the same period as them.)
Thank you.
(They are continuing the legacy of the legendary idols.)
(Red Velvet is the idol group with a bright future ahead of them.)
(What will happen to these legendary idols?)
Check the time, everyone.
It's 3:40pm.
We only have an hour and 20 minutes, and not one team has left.
- Nobody used the chance. - Use the chance.
- Use the chance. - All right. Now.
We will make an announcement. We will use the chance.
- Great. - You should.
Fly to the Sky will use it first.
- Yes. - Use the chance.
Should we explain about the chances.
I will explain the chances.
This is Seok Jin's idea.
"Disguising as a staff and promoting the song".
- It's not bad. - Not bad.
- It worked last week. - Really?
This is fun.
(Seok Jin disguised as a staff last week.)
(This is free.)
(Please love I.O.I.)
It's not easy though. You need to change your voice.
The second chance is singing your song in the next room.
- This is good. - This is a good one.
- We've tried this one. - With FT Island.
This is a good one. FT Island did it.
If you leave the door a little open and sing, you will succeed.
- Yes. - You will succeed for sure.
Next is an amazing one.
It's reserving your song at the counter.
But if this one fails, you get very hurt.
- This is... - Right.
If they press cancel, we...
Kim Tae Woo and Kim Kyung Ho used this chance.
Tae Woo succeeded, and Kyung Ho failed.
Kyung Ho reserved it for three different rooms.
- And they all cancelled it. - "What's this?"
(It made Kyung Ho really sad.)
"Why does this song keep getting reserved?"
- This is so funny. - He got rejected three times.
(The rage of Kyung Ho will be remembered for a long time.)
(Why do they keep singing "Like It"?)
Now he doesn't even make reservations to restaurants.
- I know. - They were mean.
He doesn't make any reservations.
If you think about it...
The last one is called Idol Theme Room Chance.
- What is that? - It's...
decorating one room with your theme.
(It's a special chance for the Legendary Idol Special.)
- That's nice. - Yes.
If they still don't sing their song, they'd get really hurt.
- This is nice. - They cannot not think about you.
Will the g.o.d themed room be filled with their photos?
It will be filled with posters, balloons, and banners.
I think that's the best one.
- The theme room sounds appealing. - The theme room.
The theme room and singing in the next room are both okay.
You can sing in the next room.
Singing in the next room is okay too.
- Here we go. 1, 2, 3. - All right.
- Singing in the next room. - Singing in the next room.
(They got the Singing in the Next Room Chance.)
That's a good one.
That's a nice one.
What is it?
- What's wrong? - Why are you so happy?
Someone is singing "No Matter Where",
and they started singing it too.
- I know. - It really works.
It works.
It's going to help a lot.
- Try it. - You should try it.
- It works. - Should we try it?
Give it a try.
- It really works. - Try it.
- One more room is singing it. - Now three rooms are singing it.
- Look. - All three rooms...
- are singing "No Matter Where". - Look at that.
All three rooms are singing it.
Sing "Even Though My Heart Hurts". I think it will work.
- I think it will work. - I think it will really work.
You have to sing it when they are resting.
- Leave the door slightly open. - Leave the door slightly open.
- Then they will either sing... - Everyone is helping.
- Hwanhee's or their group's song. - What?
The structure of the room is...
- Let's give it a try. - You can do it,
- Fly to the Sky. - What if they say,
"This guy sounds just like Hwanhee."
- Then they sing it too. - Yes.
It will be tragic if they start singing Red Velvet's song...
while we are singing...
and you all go to their room.
That would be terrible.
- That's horrible. - My gosh.
- Let's give it a try. - That would be amazing.
- Now... - Red Velvet.
What?
Red velvet. Red velvet.
Where?
"Red Flavor".
(Is Red Velvet going home?)
Red Velvet.
- Red Velvet. - "Red Flavor".
- Is it reserved? - It's not.
- Is it not reserved? - It's not reserved.
- They almost did. - They're starting to see things.
They might have done it.
- All right. - I will see you later.
- This must be pressuring. - Right.
This is the worst situation ever.
One room is empty, and there are couples in the other two rooms.
Even if they use the chance,
- They can do it. - it will be hard to succeed.
(They nervously head to sing their song.)
This way.
(They succeed to enter secretly.)
It's cold here.
(They succeed to enter the karaoke.)
Good luck.
Let's go, Fly to the Sky.
Let's see if they will succeed.
They will leave the door open.
I left the door slightly open.
This works quite well.
- Last time, - It works quite well.
- it worked for FT Island. - But you need people.
- There you go. - People came into Room One.
- They are men. - They are two men.
- They are two men. - They are men!
They are two men.
- Fly to the Sky saw them. - This is good.
- This is perfect. - Fly to the Sky saw them.
Someone came in. Two men came in.
- They should sing now. - Now...
- They should sing. - They should start singing.
- That's it. Perfect timing. - The timing is perfect.
- The two men... - They're getting lucky.
(Room 4 and Room 1 each have 2 men.)
They are choosing songs.
(They are choosing songs.)
"Like It".
- They chose the song. - "Like It".
- "Like It". - Let's go.
While singing "Like It", they will hear it.
No, the two songs will overlap.
- They should've started. - They should've started early.
They should've started early.
They should've started singing first.
Fly to the Sky.
(They are searching for their song.)
There are so many of our songs, and yet they don't sing one.
(Hwanhee's upset.)
I will flip through.
(They can't choose their own song.)
We have to sing when that person is done.
Right.
(Are they enjoying looking at their songs?)
Which song should we sing?
Hwanhee thinks too much.
(Room One is singing "Like It".)
- The timing is... - They've chosen it.
- They started it. - "Even Though My Heart Hurts".
They are singing "Even Though My Heart Hurts".
They can't sing when the others are singing.
Let's see if this trick will work.
(They hope people in the other rooms will hear them.)
(Even though my heart hurts, I smile like this)
(Respond to it, people!)
(Room 1)
(He starts to pay attention.)
(Room 2)
(After listening to Hwanhee's singing, they choose another song.)
I want to sing well too.
(They don't care about Hwanhee's voice.)
(It's us, everyone.)
(Will they fail?)
(The person in Room 1 moves.)
Everyone is singing hard.
(I swallow my tears)
(At that time,)
(the man from Room 1 heads to the door.)
(Will he sing Fly to the Sky's song?)
Did the trick work?
(Part 2 will be aired shortly.)
He looked outside...
and closed the door tightly.
Was it too loud?
(Is it not closed well?)
(The room is not soundproofed.)
(Who's singing so loudly?)
It's too loud.
Did you see that? They closed the door tightly.
- They closed it. - They closed it tightly.
Oh, no.
They are trying to sing, and the other room is too loud.
- Right. - It's too loud.
They closed the door even more tightly.
By the way, they sing so well.
(Not knowing the situation, they perform amazingly.)
(No matter how much they open the door...)
(the other room shows no reaction.)
(Frustrated, Hwanhee explodes with ad libs.)
He's singing so passionately.
Oh, dear.
None of them are stirred.
(They give up.)
They are giving up.
What's the point of singing so well?
(Look how well they sing.)
This is not a competition program.
- It's Sing My Song. - I know.
- They do it every day. - It's Sing My Song.
They need to sing relaxed.
They would've won if this was a competition program.
(It's too bad.)
It's not working today.
Let them sing one more song.
Yes.
- They are finished. - Let them sing one more song.
- One more song? - One more song.
Is singing one more song better for them?
- I wonder. - It's because it's daytime.
I am reminded of Kyung Ho.
Since this already happened, let them sing one more.
I think Kyung Ho will roll on the floor when he sees this.
I think singing too loudly is not doing them any good.
It's not.
"You You You".
It's more like "Tired Tired Tired".
(They look worn off.)
- I know. - "Tired Tired Tired."
Their hearts are aching,
and they are worn off.
(The ballad duo sings another song.)
(His voice explodes again.)
(They sing the second song with their body and soul.)
(Please sing my song.)
(Sing it.)
Sing it.
(Sing my song!)
Why are they trying so hard?
My goodness.
(Thanks for the great performance.)
(Fly to the Sky miserably fails.)
I think...
that performance was better than any other performances.
He sang harder than when he was on "I Am a Singer".
It's not easy to perform so well at a karaoke.
He has a powerful voice.
I wasn't going to go all out.
- Right now... - I told him to sing louder.
I don't sing in a loud voice unless I'm performing...
because I don't want to distract others, but I sang loudly today.
(Except for today)
In previous karaokes, Fly to the Sky's songs were always sung.
- People sang their songs a lot. - A lot of people sang their song.
We thought that Fly to the Sky...
would be going home early after Red Velvet.
But today is a weird day for them.
(I guess today isn't the day.)
- Well... - Right.
- Who's next? - It just passed 4pm.
- It's not over. - Today,
we didn't have time to have snacks.
We should eat while we wait.
- Let's eat some snacks. - Did they arrive?
- Let's eat. - All right.
- Let's eat and cheer up. - We should eat.
- We need energy to do anything. - That's true.
- Is that tteokbokki? - This is great.
- Thank you. - Really?
- This feels like a retreat. - Of course.
- Should I take this out? - Let's eat one.
Goodness, this is tasty.
Everyone, you must keep an eye on the screens.
- This isn't time to eat. - Right.
- We must keep watching. - What are you saying?
It's okay. Let's take it easy today.
While we eat, should the next team choose their chance?
We should do that.
- G.o.d will choose theirs. - Why is this dropping?
- Let's see. - In 1, 2, 3.
- This is the page. - That one.
- Is it that one? - Which chance do you want?
I want a chance to go and serve coffee.
- I want to decorate the room. - I used the chance and it worked.
- Really? - All right.
1, 2, 3.
(Will their wish come true?)
1, 2, 3.
Reserving your song.
(Their chance is to reserve their own song from the counter.)
- This is a good one. - Right now,
- This is better. - this might be better.
Nonsense! Because of this chance, Kyung Ho...
- was deeply hurt. - Today, this might be a better one.
- But you might... - This might hurt our feelings.
- What is this chance? What is it? - The counter...
- The guy at the counter... - Okay.
- reserve our song in the room. - That's correct.
I think the song we choose to put also plays a big role.
That's true.
- Is the song slow or upbeat? - Or...
Will it be "Place Where You Need to Be" or "Friday Night"?
- "Dear Mother" is the best one. - That's true.
We need to think about the last song.
- "Dear Mother"? - I think that's the best one.
- "Dear Mother". - Red Velvet's song might be on.
- Red Velvet! - This is...
- The fourth room. - The last room's singing the song.
- Red Velvet! - That's our song!
- I see the song! - That's our song. We should go.
- Where? - They're singing the song!
- Right there. - The first room?
- No, the room on the end. - The one next to it.
The room next to it.
- This is amazing. - They're singing it.
- They were singing the song. - Run!
- Where do we go? - "Red Flavor".
- Red flavor, honey - It is their song indeed.
(The 4th room is lost in the song, "Red Flavor".)
- At last... - There they go.
(There's a party in the headquarter.)
- Congratulations! - Gosh, they were the first ones.
(It's the first win after 2 hours and 20 minutes.)
- They did it. - Great job.
(They can do the choreography of "Red Flavor" perfectly.)
That's it.
(They head to their song.)
- Where is the room? Where is it? - Where is it?
(Where are our saviors who sang our song?)
They're in the fourth room.
Go to the fourth room.
(We are about to meet them now.)
(Ta-da)
(Two members of Red Velvet, singers of the song, raid the place.)
(What is this?)
What do we do?
- Hello. - Hi.
(When they muster up their courage and accept the reality,)
(members of Red Velvet are before their eyes.)
They're really Red Velvet!
Goodness, you're so pretty! She's prettier in person.
Sing the song.
(She's still accepting the reality.)
(Oh, well. Here I go!)
Let's sing it together.
(She sings her best for Red Velvet.)
(Thank you, our saviors.)
- We were eating spicy food. - Right.
(What a lame joke.)
- You're right! - We were eating spicy food.
- That's true. - The red flavor tastes like this.
But I feel so much better though now that one of the teams succeeded.
Let's keep lying. Then they might sing our song, "Lie".
(Sure)
- Even if we lie... - I don't think that will work.
(Everyone becomes one with the song, "Red Flavor".)
(A heartwarming encounter with fans and the artists)
(Summer's)
(She's the cutest.)
She's so cute.
- They're here. - Welcome.
(Congratulations)
Red Velvet!
(They come to the headquarter with the help of Jae Seok.)
(Startled)
Hello!
(She's even more surprised to see Shinhwa.)
- Goodness. - Congratulations.
- Come this way. - Hello.
Is this really happening?
- Yes, it is. - Goodness.
- Please sit down. - What do we do?
- This way. - All right.
This is a segment called Sing My Song,
and you sang "Red Flavor".
(Yoo Ji Hye and Tak A Young)
What I found interesting was that...
as soon as you walked in, you selected the song, "Red Flavor".
- Whose song do you want to sing? - I...
- I want to sing Nucksal's song. - Nucksal?
I'll sing "Red Flavor" for now.
(She chose the song without any hesitation.)
- Is there a reason? - Yes, I like Red Velvet.
Say it to the microphone, please.
I'm a fan of Red Velvet.
This is a segment called, Sing My Song from Happy Together.
- You've never seen it, have you? - I saw the one with Lee Hong Gi.
- You've seen it. - That was the first episode.
- It was? - This is the same segment.
- Sing My Song. - This is awesome.
Is this going to cause trouble?
As you can see, you sang Red Velvet's song.
- These singers' songs weren't sung. - Were you planning to sing...
Shinhwa's, Fly to the Sky's, or g.o.d's song?
I really like Shinhwa's songs.
- Are you a fan of Shinhwa? - My sister is a big.
- Min Woo is my favorite member. - Look at his face.
- He's my favorite. - She got lucky.
If your sister was a big fan of Shinhwa,
- she would've sung their songs. - Call your sister.
- I think she might end up crying... - Really?
because only I got to see him.
- I see. - Yes.
- Thanks to you, they can leave. - Thank you.
You'll get their albums as gifts.
Thank you.
Soo Yong who always goes home first...
- is going home first as always. - Again?
Ye Ri and Joy, you may go home!
(Soo Yong, Ye Ri, and Joy get off work!)
- See you later. - Bye.
- Hurry and go. - Okay.
- Bye, Soo Yong. - Good work today.
- You did well today. - Bye.
I knew it. Red Velvet is popular now.
- Let's continue right away. - We should use our chance.
After Red Velvet succeeded, the atmosphere has brightened up a bit.
(Shinhwa versus g.o.d versus Fly to the Sky)
- G.o.d. Let's use your chance. - Yes?
- We should put "One Candle". - How's "Friday Night"?
- They can sing the first part. - I'm sure they'll sing it.
- When they see the title, - That's true.
they want to sing the song.
- Right. Because if we put "Lie", - I agree.
- they're sad it's not Big Bang's. - Or...
So they won't sing the song.
- It's possible since they're young. - I agree.
- You should avoid it. - Exactly.
Since Tae Woo succeeded with this chance, I'm sure we'll succeed too.
- Okay. We'll reserve the song now. - Here we go.
We are putting arms around each other as we become one.
How can we reserve the song forcefully?
(They are clueless of what's happening.)
(She's singing "Love over a Thousand Years" the best she can.)
- The song is reserved now. - "One Candle".
- It's reserved now. - There it is.
- Which room is it? - "One Candle" is reserved.
- It's the fourth room. - Please sing the song.
(The song is being reserved from the counter.)
(The song stops.)
(Will they sing?)
- You stopped it? - I'm serious.
I didn't cancel it. I was holding it here.
- But what's happening? - I don't know.
We can sing something else then.
What is this?
("One Candle")
(If we desperately wish for it, they might sing.)
(For those who are desperately wishing,)
(sing their song!)
(Is this broken?)
(Canceled)
- She canceled the song. - She canceled it.
- What on earth were you doing? - I swear. I didn't do anything.
- "One Candle" is chosen again. - This is sad.
- It's the same song. - This is sadder.
Sing "One Candle"!
Why does this song keep coming up?
- She canceled it again. - It started, but it's canceled.
- She canceled it again. - Oh, no.
- We're better off. - Poor thing.
- Did you press "Start"? - No.
See! I told you. This is weird.
- Can we do this to another room? - Are you crying, Joon?
- Another room? - What do you think? They are...
- How about guys in the first room? - Sure, sure.
("A Daily Song" by Hwang Chi Yeul)
(The guy in the 1st room is very soulful.)
- Let's go with "Lie". - Goodbye
- Goodbye, be happy - You said they'll cancel it.
- "Lie" is a good one. - But we should...
- put Big Bang's name though. - No.
(Let's switch the artists' names.)
Goodness, he sounds desperate. He's desperate.
- Our voice is getting louder. - This is too much.
I guess you're in a hurry to finish.
Once they fail after the chance, they're going to feel laid-back.
- That's right. - We're so laid-back.
- We almost gave up. - Aren't I right?
We'll go with "Lie". Are you okay with that?
- Sure. - We'll try "Lie".
("Lie" has been reserved against customers' will in the 1st room.)
- What do we do? - This is the last chance.
- I hate you now - This is a good song. They'll sing.
The song has been reserved in the first room.
Did it go through? It's in.
- They'll sing the next. - It's been reserved.
- The song is playing. - Our sing is in the fourth room.
People in the fourth room are singing our song.
- That's our song. - That is our song!
- That's our song. No! - What is this?
("Dear Mother")
(What a lucky break!)
Goodness! That's our song!
- Wait! - This is our song!
- Wait! - No, no.
- They canceled it. - Hold on a second.
- They canceled it. - They canceled the song.
Darn. They canceled it.
(I got excited for nothing.)
- They canceled it. - Poor you.
- They are just too young. - Oh, no.
- They canceled it? - Everyone.
I get to see the real emotion of singers up close.
- This is how it feels. - "Lie"!
- "Lie" is playing now. - That's the first room.
- They're singing, aren't they? - They're singing it.
("Lie" by g.o.d)
(Puzzled)
(Please)
(After they sang Lee Juck's "Running in the Sky"...)
What is this? Did you reserve "Lie"?
- No, who reserved this? - Let's sing it then.
(He'll sing it?)
- I don't know. This one? - Yes.
- Yes. - Is this the right one?
(People in the situation room are going crazy.)
Wait. This is the song.
(He's singing.)
He's singing.
- We did it! - Yes!
(I couldn't be happier!)
He's singing!
Are we going?
(From the reaction, it looks like someone scored the winning goal.)
He's singing!
(All the singers have become one regardless of the result.)
- It worked. - Good job.
(Looking dignified)
(Feeling overwhelmed)
- This is amazing. - How splendid!
- It worked! - Indeed.
Let me explain this in terms of soccer.
They literally forced this goal to go in.
- They forced the ball to go in. - The ball even hit the goalpost.
- They forced it go in. - It bounced back from the post.
Amazing.
It felt very similar like the time when Tae Woo succeeded.
- Tae Woo is in the video too. - Tae Woo.
How strange.
They chose the right people.
They are singing g.o.d's "Ordinary Day".
(Min Woo points out that customers are singing "Ordinary Day".)
Look at that.
- The 4th room. - People in 4th room are singing it.
- They're singing "Ordinary Day". - Really?
G.o.d's songs are being sung in two rooms all of a sudden.
(They were the ones who canceled g.o.d's song earlier.)
Right now, even the music video is g.o.d's.
Am I just imagining things? I am?
Let me sing this song. This is the only song I know.
But I don't know it well.
(They could've met g.o.d if they sang the song earlier.)
(Customers in both of the rooms are singing g.o.d's songs.)
(One,)
(two,)
(three!)
(Hello, we're g.o.d!)
Sing it!
(Amazed)
(Ho Young is smiling now at last.)
(I can't believe I'm in a karaoke with g.o.d!)
Sing it.
(I must be dreaming now.)
(Their joint performance begins.)
Don't leave
Forget me
(He transforms into Tae Woo, the main vocalist of the group.)
- Live without me - Don't forget me
(Don't forget about g.o.d.)
Right, I am
- I feel so great for them. - I can't see.
If we don't succeed with the chance, we're over.
- Precisely. Look at them. - Let's check the second room.
We'll end up like them if our chance fails.
Look at him sitting comfortably.
(It looks like he lost his world.)
- You never know though. - A miracle might happen.
- Don't leave me, please - Goodbye
- G.o.d! - G.o.d!
- Goodbye - Goodbye
(Hang in there a bit more, my friend.)
(He sings with all his might.)
(Feeling overwhelmed)
Forget me
(The main vocalist is out of energy.)
Look at that. Their music video seems energetic.
We should've had one of those music videos.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
We need to analyze the music videos. Do you think...
you'll get to be here again?
Get rid of the chance the singers sing the song in the next room.
This is not a good chance. This is a horrible one.
This chance must be removed after our incident.
No one is listening to us.
- You should've opened it wider. - It only distracted us.
Look at them.
(The chance for singing in the next room was useless.)
- He sang at the door. - Goodness.
It was meaningless because other people were singing too.
- So they couldn't hear us. - They couldn't hear you? Okay.
I can see that both of you are feeling a bit sad.
The weird thing is that he's our partner. Why is he mean to us?
- I mean... - After Red Velvet...
Don't worry. They won't succeed.
- We still have our chance. - What are you talking about?
- We haven't used our chance. - We still have it.
We are full of possibilities.
I'm going to turn that empty room into Shinhwa-themed room.
- Exactly. - Is that so? All right then.
(Ho Young and Joon are seconds away from getting off work.)
- Goodness. - This is so thrilling.
- It's fascinating. - They were so surprised.
Come on down.
- Come this way. - We want to see Jae Seok.
- We want to see him. - He's here too.
- Goodness. - No way.
- Oh, dear. Oh, my. Goodness. - This way.
- What is this? - This is amazing.
- Hello. - Come in!
(Welcome!)
- Congratulations. - Come this way.
Great!
(These heroes rescued g.o.d.)
First off, they sang g.o.d's "Lie".
What I'm grateful is that they knew the song...
- inside out. - But the thing is that...
is there a reason why you sang it even though you didn't reserve it?
I thought he made the reservation.
- That's possible. - That's feasible.
You didn't communicate.
So what about you? Why did you sing the song?
I also sang because I thought he made the reservation.
They're funny.
- They both booked the songs. - So this is why it's perfect.
This plan with the reservation from the counter...
- will be perfect when this happens. - It was perfect.
- I'm sorry, but... - They're 24 and 25.
you didn't hear Fly to the Sky singing earlier?
When he heard them sing, he closed the door tightly.
- It was Fly to the Sky singing. - You didn't hear them sing?
They sang "Even Though My Heart Hurts" earlier in the next room.
I closed it because they were loud.
- I mean... - He said you were loud!
- You sang it too loudly. - It was pretty loud. I admit.
- First off... - After g.o.d leaves,
only Shinhwa and Fly to the Sky will remain.
- Which group will be the last one? - What do you think?
Which group will be the last group today?
(They both turn to Shinhwa at the same time.)
(It looks like they'll be the last.)
- They kept looking at Shinhwa. - That's not a bad guess.
Right now, both of you...
- Why are you doing this at the end? - These two are hilarious.
- They were both great. - When I was running down with them,
- How did you feel? - these two were over the moon.
- Ho Young, how was it? - How did you feel?
I was just happy.
I wasn't expecting anything, but they did sing our song.
To be honest, I had given up since I had a bad feeling about this.
I just feel like they're my heroes for rescuing me.
- They were like heroes. - Yes, they were.
They were so cool.
- Seok Jin and g.o.d, you may leave! - It was about time.
(Seok Jin, Ho Young, and Joon are off work!)
- G.o.d takes the second place. - We're second.
- The second place is great. - I went home second last week too.
- You did well today. - Good work today.
Good luck.
(G.o.d goes home second.)
I'd like to mention this.
- Given the neighborhood, - I agree.
for these legendary idol singers to star on our show...
and get their songs chosen, the conditions aren't the best.
- The environment isn't helping. - You must think about the time too.
The conditions are against them.
I used to live right next to Konkuk University. I lived in Gwangjin-gu.
- I bet a lot has crossed your mind. - That happened so long ago.
- Let's check the first room. - Where did they go?
I didn't know we would be last.
- Hey, this is the only time. - Let's check the second room.
Three guys are singing in the room.
- There are 3 people. - Are there 3 guys?
- Let's check the fourth room. - They might sing our song.
- Let us see the fourth room. - She's singing.
This is You Me's "Star".
- Please wait. - It's from "200 Pounds Beauty".
Why don't you choose your chance?
Which one is best?
- The best one... - Which chance do you prefer?
- Making the reservation is good. - Right.
I like that one too.
- Making the reservation. - Our songs come after g.o.d's.
That's true.
You're right. Your songs must come after theirs. Let's check. One,
- two... - Good luck!
- What is it? - Chance to make your theme room.
- You can make a theme room. - Isn't this a new chance?
This is the rule.
The customers have to come into the theme room.
If they don't sing the song within 10 minutes, it counts as a failure.
- I see. - Then we'll ask the customers...
to excuse us and take everything that was inside the theme room.
- You only give us 10 minutes? - Yes.
Can Fly to the Sky sing the song while they decorate the room?
- They'll sing while we decorate? - That's not possible.
Then give us a chance to reserve a song.
No, I was joking. I don't want to do it.
The battle among the remaining artists ends up in the gutter.
- I feel like I'm mistreated. - I always...
- Look. They're bringing something. - That's a lot!
- What is that? - They're going all out for that.
- I like that. - They ought to be dedicated.
We'll make the best theme room.
Wait. What is that? There's even a life-sized cutout of them.
What's going on?
This is over now.
- This is going to work. - That's good enough.
What's up with that?
- With that... - Given...
those decorations, it feels weird not to sing their song.
- What is that? - They'll sing at least one song.
If our fans come in, I'll give those away.
This is unbelievable.
(This is the very first theme room of an idol group.)
(When the door opens,)
(orange balloons greet the customers.)
(This is the theme room of Shinhwa.)
I'm curious to find out the result.
What if they call the owner when they walk in?
- "Please get rid of these." - "Remove this cutout, please."
No, they'd say, "Is there another room?"
The ladies have walked in.
- They entered. - Here we go.
Did you see that?
- The room... - What?
(Welcome to the theme room of Shinhwa.)
- What is it? - What's going on?
Hey, that's Shinhwa. What is this?
- Are they coming here today? - Did we come to the wrong room?
Are rooms in karaoke like this these days?
Is this room for fans of Shinhwa or what?
- I don't know. What if they come? - What's this?
- We are Shinhwa! - Shinhwa!
- They sound like your fans. - All right.
Your chance looks promising.
- They entered the room first. - No, no.
- They said Shinhwa's name. - No, no.
- This is not right. - They said they might start.
- Does any of you like Shinhwa? - Me.
Then sing their song.
- What's up with this room? - Sing it on this chair.
You know that song, right?
But why did they decorate the room like this though?
- Give us a chance. - She's getting ready.
- You asked me too. - Isn't this a TV show?
I saw this on Happy Together.
- She mentioned Happy Together. - She just said our show's name.
- I think she saw our program. - You know the singers...
- I'm certain she saw our program. - are in another room.
- She did watch our show. - People have to sing their song.
- Yes, we are here. - Singers form a team.
- That's the show. - She knows the show.
- She knows this segment. - But we should continue unscripted.
- She's explaining to them. - They install the cameras.
She's explaining it to her friends.
But that's okay. We're not going to sing Shinhwa's song.
(But that's okay. We're not going to sing Shinhwa's song.)
She just said she doesn't want to sing our song.
Did she say she doesn't want to sing your song?
It's even harsher if they don't sing the songs after explaining the show.
- That's too harsh. - They're searching.
They're searching for songs.
They're searching together.
- It's Shinhwa. - Show me the photo.
- "Like It". - Yes.
Why's that playing?
- "Like It"! - Yes.
They talked about them a lot, but they're singing "Like It".
- That's so harsh. - Goodness.
You're not nervous about celebrities showing up, are you?
Why aren't you singing Shinhwa song? What's wrong with you?
He's showing the same symptoms as Kim Kyung Ho.
- Yes. - Gosh, please.
(He's starting to show Kim Kyung Ho's symptoms.)
(They're even taking photos.)
- We're right here. - Right here.
- Just sing one song. - We're right here.
They even have confetti.
We're right here.
Don't film there.
- We're right here. - The actual people are here.
They're singing Echo's "Happy Me".
They might delete it.
(Skip interlude.)
(They're dancing to a ballad.)
Why are they dancing to a song like this?
Dance to our song.
(She's dancing to the rhythm.)
She's showing her true self.
It's all okay.
That's really not a dance song.
(Shinhwa's room is almost running out of time.)
- It's full. - Time is up.
(They didn't get to do anything, but their chance is over.)
You've failed.
My goodness.
They talked about Shinhwa,
and they've even watched Happy Together.
But they haven't chosen a Shinhwa song.
We are also flustered.
- But you know... - Usually when you're surrounded...
- by those panels, people suggest... - No, hear me out.
- "Should we sing a Shinhwa song?" - But if you think about it...
people don't like being forced to do something.
Wait, the top room.
The top room is searching right now.
The top room is searching Shinhwa.
- It's Shinhwa. - Room 1.
- Room 1. - Really?
- Room 1! - Look!
- They're searching Shinhwa. - What's going on?
- Wait! - That was so sudden.
- "Perfect Man". - Let's go.
- Room 1. - They did it. Let's go!
- Room 1. - Let's go.
I like this song.
(The interlude starts playing.)
- Room 1. - We did it!
- Room 1. - My gosh.
- What happened? - That was so sudden.
- Out of the blue. - Instead of the chance...
They're singing.
(Perfect song selection. Will Shinhwa be able to go home?)
(This is an unexpected victory.)
- "Perfect Man". Go inside. - That was perfect timing.
- I'm sorry. - Wow, that was amazing.
- Just go! - Go!
You scared me.
That was completely out of the blue.
(Hey, come on! Shinhwa is on its way!)
(Just wait a little longer.)
(This is a special meeting for you.)
Room one.
(Sing My Song)
(If you sing my song, we'll go to meet you.)
(This is an exciting moment.)
(The "Perfect Man", Shinhwa is here!)
Gosh, that was exciting.
(The excitement is tangible. Shinhwa never disappoints!)
(Even though my heart hurts, I laugh like this.)
- They caught on. - The room next to them caught on.
- They're filming. - Really?
Yes, look over there.
- Room Four caught on finally. - They understand now.
- They're late. - Room Four finally caught on.
They're all looking now.
(They're storming to look.)
Room Four finally knows.
Room Four is going to be so disappointed when they watch this.
Exactly.
(Room One is having so much fun.)
Oh my gosh.
(This is a special performance with Min Woo and Andy.)
(This is fun karaoke time with Shinhwa.)
Look. They know the moves.
(The scene feels like a live concert.)
Now that the segment is coming to an end,
- this feels quite... - Yes.
(It's empty.)
You suddenly feel very tired.
(They're going through so many emotions right now.)
- And... - What I propose for the show...
is to give the same chance to all the guests.
- The same chance. - Yes.
- But you know... - Guests who stay until the end...
have a lot of suggestions to make.
Right?
(The special performance ends as a success.)
(They're proud of themselves.)
- That was great. - The moves were awesome.
It's so nice to meet you.
My gosh, this is crazy.
- Good job. - Gosh.
Are your hands trembling?
(They are definitely Shinhwa fans.)
- My gosh. - This is crazy.
Why did you suddenly sing a Shinhwa song?
I'm a Shinhwa fan.
- You're a Shinhwa fan? - Yes.
- Are you a fan club member? - Yes.
- She's a fan club member. - Shinhwa's fan!
- Shinhwa's fan! - Shinhwa's fan!
- That's the way to go! - Yes!
- Our fans have grown a lot! - Yes!
- They're Shinhwa fans! - Yes!
- Let's go! - Go!
- Let's go! - Let's leave this.
This is actually my hometown.
- Here? - Yes, it's my hometown.
- But my gosh... - You want to leave, don't you?
People usually aren't treated well in their hometown.
- Yes, well... - Yes.
- They're coming in. - Okay.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- Here! - Yes!
(Congratulations on Shinhwa going home.)
Congratulations.
- Shinhwa's fan! - Shinhwa's fan!
- She's really a Shinhwa fan. - Really?
- Yes, she really is. - Come this way.
- Gosh, really? - She's really a Shinhwa fan.
- Really? - She's really a fan.
Can you please introduce yourselves?
- I'm Yang Hyo Jung. - Hyo Jung.
And what is your name?
I've been a Shinhwa fan since I was in elementary school.
My name is Kim Hyo Jin.
- Hyo Jin. - Gosh.
How did you feel when they suddenly appeared?
- I was wondering if I'm dreaming. - Really?
- Yes. - How was it?
I thought I was going to get a heart attack.
Really.
We have this chance to decorate a theme room.
- Over there. - If you look at Room Four...
- You can see posters. - There are posters and all that.
But out of the blue, you two...
- They're doing a Shinhwa song now. - Yes, they are.
- The song is booked. - Yes.
How did you first get into Shinhwa?
- I saw them sing. - I see.
And I thought that's what true idol stars are like.
- That's what I felt. - I see.
(She's a faithful fan.)
That's what true idols are like.
Min Woo and Andy, how did it feel when you went to their room?
- I couldn't believe it. - To be honest,
I was surprised when "Perfect Man" started playing too.
It was so out of the blue. We'd put our bets on the theme room.
But time passed and even if they did something,
- it didn't guarantee success. - Yes.
But Room One started to book our song,
and "Perfect Man", a song I like, started playing.
(A Shinhwa song suddenly started playing from room one.)
I felt like I was walking on clouds on my way there.
Until I went inside I felt like I was walking on clouds.
And when I opened the door, it was paradise inside.
Really. The moment I opened the door,
I felt like the holy spirit was inside.
- Gosh. - The holy spirit.
Holy fans.
Holy Shinhwa fans.
Shinhwa fans are here and there.
- Yes. - Of course.
They're everywhere.
You didn't expect any of this, did you?
- Nothing's arranged. - You're right.
- Yes, really. - I'm still trembling.
- Really. - Yes.
We can't believe it either.
What a coincidence that the fans were there.
If this were arranged, this would make a better show.
Room Four should sing a song by Fly to the Sky.
(A Fly to the Sky song plays in the theme room.)
If it were prearranged...
If the show were prearranged, that's how it would have played out.
- That would be hilarious. - Absolutely hilarious.
It would go viral.
But reality isn't so dramatic.
It's a little difficult.
- It's sad. - But anyways, thank you so much.
And Shinhwa, Andy...
and Min Woo, Soo Hong, you get to go home.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
The fans too. We'll be on our way. Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Yes.
- Your bag. - Thank you.
- Enjoy your dinner. - Have something good.
- Yes. - Right.
So today...
They sang harder than they ever have...
and sang great songs for us.
But they've remained until the end. Last week it was Kim Kyung Ho.
And this week it's Fly to the Sky.
We're planning a special episode on singers who've remained.
- Really? - Yes, we'll gather all the singers.
And we'll let you choose the location then too.
- We can choose? - Yes.
- Koreatown Los Angeles. - Not LA.
- Why not? - We don't have the budget yet.
Our show isn't that popular yet.
- Okay. - Yes.
Honestly, what will go through your minds...
on your way back to the car?
I should put out a new album soon. That will cross my mind.
I see. Yes, please put out a new album soon.
- Yes. We did take a long break. - You guys did.
It's motivating, isn't it?
Yes. It's not really about how famous you are.
We weren't on the charts because we were on hiatus for so long.
We need to release new songs to the public.
I'd really love to hear new songs from you guys.
What's more surprising is that once this episode airs,
people will sing your songs in karaoke rooms from next week.
That really happens. It's kind of amazing.
If that's the case, we'll come on the show again next week.
Really. Keep an eye out.
- Once this episode airs, then... - Yes.
on our next shoot, people will all be singing Fly to the Sky.
Then the singers on the next episode will see that and get frustrated.
Yes, you're right.
It's an endless cycle.
- It really is. - This is so unique.
This program wasn't made to annoy singers.
But singers remaining until the end tend to get hurt.
Now then, what's your ending song?
We sang our ending song earlier.
It's "Even Though My Heart Hurts".
Even I think that's the perfect song for this occasion.
- It fits the situation. - Yes.
This is Fly to the Sky's...
Let's pray their hearts no longer have to hurt from now on.
- I'm getting mad now to be honest. - Okay.
- Thank you. - I thought Shinhwa would come last.
- Show the same emotions as before. - Shinhwa...
Now they're being honest. He thought Shinhwa would come last.
I'm so jealous of Min Woo and Andy.
(I'm jealous from the bottom of my heart.)
You lose if you get jealous. I'm not jealous.
My goodness.
(The packed seats are now empty.)
You're lying down there.
(He quietly starts singing "Even Though My Heart Hurts".)
It really played out like the music video today.
(When did it start going wrong?)
- He's lying on the hospital bed. - It fits the lyrics perfectly.
(They see their current situation in the music video.)
This is so annoying.
(He's really annoyed.)
(To me you are)
(Why did Shinhwa win?)
Fly to the Sky.
(Shinhwa comforts Fly to the Sky before they go home.)
On our way down, I heard them sing "Even Though My Heart Hurts".
It sounds sadder now.
(They try to seem unaffected as they sing.)
(Hwanhee seems happy in the music video.)
She's giving him a kiss and everything.
- What? - You're getting a kiss.
(The reality is... Even though my heart hurts)
(I laugh like this)
It's a great song.
(Their singing points scored 1st place.)
(And we grew so close.)
(Even though my song was rejected,)
(we had such fun.)
(We're okay.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Good work everyone.
