(Smoking is banned in screen golf facilities starting 12/3)
(Smoking is banned in pool halls starting 12/3)
You and I are already here, but Soo-geun isn't?
He's normally never late for school.
Maybe it's because he's been doing that night TV show.
Breaking news!
Can you draw in newspapers?
Lots of newspapers flying around.
Breaking news!
Did you hear, Ho-dong?
What is it?
You won't have to smell cigarette smoke at places like pool halls,
screen golf places, or other indoor sports facilities.
- People can't smoke there anymore? - It's banned for public health!
No one can smoke outside of designated areas.
I've been wanting this!
I hope more people quit smoking with this new law, too.
But it's not so easy to quit smoking.
Ho-dong and Hee-chul, you quit smoking though, right?
Yeah, we quit long time ago.
And Yeong-cheol never smoked.
I wish we can be "quit smoking" campaign promoters.
What made you wanna quit?
For me...
My gums started to turn purple.
- You can't even fix it after. - That's true, it turns color.
I heard you can't clean it.
That's why I quit.
How about you, Ho-dong?
I was shooting a TV show, and a child actor asked me if I smoked cigarettes.
I said no, but I guess my body still smelled like it.
I felt so bad for the kid.
That's what made you quit!
Yes, because kids often come on shows that I MC for.
It wasn't that hard to quit either.
You need strong determination to quit.
Nicorettes and things don't work either.
Yeah, just go cold turkey.
You really need to be determined not to smoke anymore.
Smoking and one-sided love are pretty similar.
- They cost money. - One-sided love costs money?
It takes effort to get that person's attention and affirmation.
So that can cost money.
And it's easy to start, but it's hard to end it.
Smoking and one-sided love!
(That is true)
It is very hard to quit.
I saw this on Radio Start before.
I started smoking when I was really young.
It ruined my respiratory system since I was still growing at the time.
I still can't eat hot foods, like noodle soups.
I cough when hot steam goes down my throat.
I think it is important for the current smokers to quit.
But it's a big issue to not have youth start smoking out of curiosity.
They see others smoke, and just want to try it.
That's how you get addicted.
These days, non-smokers are considered more cool.
After I quit smoking, I really notice a huge change in my body.
You feel so much healthier, right?
Yeah, I feel so much lighter.
I feel better when I wake up in the morning.
Your skin gets better too.
Is that why you have clear skin? Because you quit smoking?
Are you encouraging people to quit with that statement?
- Don't I have clear skin? - You seem very healthy.
I may not be so good-looking, but...
Smokers know all these things, but it's hard. They should keep trying though.
If the guests today are smokers, let's encourage them to quit smoking.
Let's make it clear to them.
Sounds good!
As a sign of determination to quit smoking...
- You want the last cigarette? - Yes, the last one, a nationwide ceremony.
(The final ceremony is needed for every big determination)
He wants a nationwide ceremony to smoke the last cigarette!
It needs to be meaningful, "Just this last one..."
Do you smoke when you miss a shot in basketball?
Who are they?
(An extraordinary transfer student)
Wow, so tall!
What's with her arms?
(Han Hye-Jin, the fashion model)
(Lee Si-eon, the actor)
She must've just came back from a pool hall.
(Pretending)
They're from "We've really never met before" high school, right?
She's so cool!
What school did you come from?
Is this the place where I can find people who live alone,
people who now have to live alone, and people who want to live alone?
Sorry about that.
Han Hye-Jin is nervous!
(Feeling awkward)
We're used to seeing her trash-talking.
Do it right, come on!
If you feel awkward, you can talk as you walk.
(Introducing herself while doing a model-walk)
She might feel more natural that way.
Try it, show us!
No, I'm...
From what school?
From "They call me 'Dhalsim' but I'm a model to my bones" high school.
Dhalsim?
Dhalsim from Street Fighter!
Can you do a "yoga fire" for us?
She knows what it is!
How about you?
From "I may look mad, but I always look like this" high school.
My name is Lee Si-eon. Nice to meet you.
Aren't you trying to hard? You didn't look this mad in other shows.
(He's so caught)
You're really funny in the other show!
You're always smiling on that show, why frown here?
- He wants a strong first impression. - It's all because of Jun Hyun-moo.
Dhalsim, we can't do this on our own.
Wait!
We can already tell who that is!
It's so obvious!
We can definitely tell who that is.
Guess who it is then.
It's so easy!
Let's say it all together, 1, 2, 3!
Jun Hyun-moo!
We need your help, Hyun-moo!
(Jun Hyun-moo comes on the show)
He came here before, and he totally lost out.
He said he'd beat us, but he missed every single question.
Why'd you bring that anyways?
We felt like we can't be on TV without him.
Really?
You should've went on "Phantom Singer."
(Hyun-moo isn't so popular here)
Pick one, Jun Hyun-moo or Kang Ho-dong?
What's there to think about?
Well... Kang Ho-dong. Jun Hyun...
His facial expression scares me.
I can't even speak.
He's staring at me like this!
What's there to think about between choosing Jun Hyun-moo or Kang Ho-dong?
He's upset that you have to think about it.
No no, Hyun-moo's great!
(A fly comes in front of him right at that moment)
(Geting mad at a fly instead)
Go over there!
I've never worked with Ho-dong before.
He's the only MC I've worked with.
How about you, Hye-Jin? Hyun-moo or Ho-dong?
Kang Ho-dong, of course!
Then Kang Ho-dong or Shin Dong-yup?
What?
He's the one who got you here!
Really?
They were on "Witch Hunt" together.
Honestly, I really like the show, "I Live Alone."
I probably saw every episode.
Because you want to live alone too?
What?
Come on the show if you end up living alone!
- He wants to. - It's his dream!
(Just smile)
That's the show Ho-dong wants to be in the most.
- I knew it. - Hye-Jin and I don't match so well.
I like people who feel a little shy.
They must've asked you to come on the show.
They asked me ever since the show started to air.
Why won't you come on?
I won't have cameras installed in my house.
Unless it's for a very special reason, I won't allow it.
Hye-Jin said she wanted to do "We Got Married" with Jang-hoon before.
I did?
You said you wanted to with a tall person.
Oh, just with someone who's tall?
I mentioned your name, and she said she'd like to.
Don't tall girls like short guys?
No.
(I guess not)
She's not our type of guest.
She doesn't play along with our jokes.
She pushes us out.
Si-eon used to have a hard time until he started going live on TV.
I heard you struggled a lot.
I did, I sold clothes on the side before,
cleaning work in Daehangno,
I passed out gym flyers even after debuted.
Wow, really?
No worries, things are working out for you now.
I've heard some good news about you.
What, about the apartment?
Yeah! Congratulations!
He applied to buy an apartment out of lottery, and he won!
He owns an apartment now.
Does that mean you have a girlfriend to plan future with?
- No, it doesn't. - Just say that you do.
No need to be nervous.
Dhalsim, don't be nervous.
Why do you keep calling me "noona," as if I'm older than you?
We're the same age!
- You're the same age as me? - Yeah, born in 1983!
You should call her "unnie," like an older sister.
Oh, that's why she was upset!
Yes, call her "unnie" instead.
Sorry, Dhalsim unnie.
You can take off the gloves now.
You're gonna be sweating.
Why'd you put these on anyways?
So I can feel comforted.
Why do they call you "Dalnim"?
It's Dhalsim!
(Not Dalnim, like the moon?)
That's you!
You don't know what Dhalsim is?
I know, he's a character from a video game.
Which one?
(This one!)
What game is it from?
He's got no idea at all.
His arm angle was off.
She really does look like Dhalsim.
She's got long arms and legs like him, since she's a model.
But Dhalsim's arms stretch out! Mine don't.
I think they did get stretched out since you walked in.
(Putting them back in)
Can we get that fly first though?
It's our drone.
He's a regular guest here.
He's on the show more than I am.
They call the fly a drone!
It's for a bird's-eye-view.
- We better be funnier than the fly. - We might not be.
Anyway, you guys are completely nervous!
You weren't this stiff in the other show.
I came on the show with my friend.
I was with Jung Gyu-woon.
I wasn't so nervous with him.
But there are too many celebrities here in this room.
So you're not so close to Hye-Jin?
Not really.
No, but he keeps calling me "noona" when I'm younger than him!
That's why we can't hang out.
You just have that vibe, even for me.
Why?
You're taller than us, that's why.
Her height's not the issue, it's this...
I mean her face...
She looks mad all the time.
I do?
We used to go to the same hair salon.
But I go to a different one now because of her.
I'd say, "Good morning," but...
You're just like me in making up rumors.
(Great job in making up rumors)
I'm not making up a rumor.
I just felt very...
It was a lot to handle in the morning.
(Appalled)
- That's why. - Because you got scared?
You just look tough, but you're not actually tough, are you?
I don't think I am.
She doesn't have a strong personality in real life.
But we went out to go eat once with people on "I Live Alone."
And the restaurant owner came and cut up the meat for us.
Then she said,
"Why are you cutting up the meat?"
I was shocked, and told her to stop.
Then she said, "No, I meant to say 'thank you' for cutting up the meat."
(She sounded mad though she was expressing gratitude)
(Taken aback)
You remember that, right?
It wasn't that.
We went to a good barbecue place, and there were a lot of customers.
But she still came to our table and started to cut the meat for us.
I thought she might be doing that because we're celebrities, so I felt bad.
She should've still smiled when she said that though.
"You don't need to do that," versus,
"Why are you doing that?"
She was startled by that too.
That's a new way of saying things.
(She just wanted to express gratitude)
Can we have Hyun-moo take a break?
No.
(Nervous to fold up Hyun-moo)
Having him here doesn't make anything better.
(Moving him to the back)
It's time-out for you.
Take out what you filled out, the application.
(Time to go over the application)
Give it to Soo-geun.
I don't think you're that tall.
(Feeling embarrassed a little too late)
She's actually not that tall when she takes off her shoes.
How tall are you?
I'm 176.7 cm. [about 5'8"]
So I just say 177.
But I was 177.2 cm when I measured recently.
Can you and Soo-geun face each other?
I don't think she's 177 cm.
I'm 177.2!
With shoes off, Dhalsim!
How tall again?
I'm 177 cm!
I'm curious, is your dad tall? Or your mom?
Neither is tall, actually.
Really?
People used to say if you eat a lot of sprouts, you get taller.
I used to eat so much when I was in elementary school, and would sleep
for 16 hours a day.
I heard you lose weigh too, if you sleep a lot.
Let's go over their application.
Name: Lee Si-eon.
That's his "TV" name, his real name is Lee Bo-yeon.
It's a little woman-like of a name.
It is a very womanly name.
- It's a pretty name! - Yeah, why change it?
I debuted through a TV series called, "Friend, Our Legend."
But a reporter assumed that I was a girl, just from my name.
And wrote that a female actress has been cast a role.
So the director found me a new name, Lee Si-eon.
(He's been using the name "Lee Si-eon" since then)
Your nickname is...
"Po"?
They made my name sound funnier in school, from "Bo-yeon" to "Po."
Po from Teletubbies?
Not from the character, they just went from "Bo" to "Po."
- With a Busan accent too. - "Where's Po," like that?
Yeah, "Where are you, Po?"
It also says, "Lee Charisma."
Well, I'd like to be called that.
Your dream is "to seduce Kang Dong-won."
(Can't believe what she just heard)
Not really a dream,
but I really like him as an actor.
I think he's so cool.
So I'm saying, if I were a girl,
I'd love to confess my love for him.
You've never called him before?
I've never even met him yet.
He's a big fan of this show, he watches every episode.
He might even call you after.
We told him "no" when he wanted to come on the show.
He's #32 on our waiting list.
Kang Dong-won is?
We put him on the waiting list.
Yoo Ji-tae is right after him.
After him is Donald Trump.
(He was busy during his recent trip to Korea, so he's further back in line)
You wanna meet him? He goes to the same scalp massage place as I do.
He's surrounded by celebrities!
It's just life in Cheongdam-dong!
You go to a scalp massage place?
I got lots of hair, see?
Don't say that, I'm sure they have a reputation to keep up.
(Still jealous)
I saw Son Tae-young and Kwon Sang-woo while eating lunch.
As soon as he saw me, he said he loves watching "Ask Us Anything."
The fans can't really come on this show.
I paid for their meals.
It was a bait, so they'd come on the show.
You went way overboard.
You think so?
She called me, and Kwon Sang-woo talked to me too.
That was totally unnecessary.
I told her, "I'll pay your lunch today, tell Sang-woo to come on our show."
She said he loves this show.
You should buy us meals instead!
It was a business tactic to get him on the show.
Give him a call.
How ridiculous.
Next, it's Hye-jin's turn.
Hye-Jin prepared a lot for today.
Name: Han Hye-Jin.
Her nicknames are funny, we already talked about Dhalsim.
Don't laugh!
Isn't this too much?
She put "Han Gi-beom," the basketball player.
She looks like him too!
He says she even looks like him!
Si-eon is so mean!
They do look alike!
Because they have the same last name.
Also, I grew 10 cm each year when I was in elementary school.
I was 168 cm tall by the time I was in sixth grade.
I was 177 cm by the time I was in 9th grade.
I almost joined the basketball team.
How did you become a model?
When I was in high school, when I was 17,
I went on a model competition show on TV.
But I didn't make it through the preliminary rounds.
But the person who hosted the competition was the head of my current management.
You didn't make it through the competition but you were scouted.
I'm sure he recognized your potential.
Her dream is...
A fitness center owner.
She must like to work out.
She works out everyday.
I do work out everyday, and it seems to be the only thing I'm good at by now.
I think it's the only thing I can do later to make a living.
So you want to own a fitness facility.
Do you do this? Squash?
Squash?
Isn't it "squatting"?
(Sounds similar)
It's similar, it's OK.
How many squats can you do?
About 10 each set, going up and down.
But I don't lift heavy weights because my knees aren't so good.
So just about 40 kg to squat.
How heavy did you lift in your prime, Ho-dong?
About 230 kg to squat.
(230 kg was easy for Ho-dong in his prime)
I did about that much when I was younger, too.
(Unimaginable weight for an average person)
I'd lift it, then step back, and the bar would bend when I squatted
because it was so heavy.
It's even more difficult because you have to balance.
I wrestled, and momentary power is very important.
You have to grab the person and put him on the ground so fast.
So for us the wrestlers, it's not about shaping our bodies.
We had to lift heavy things at once.
We trained for power.
But to get a nice body, you repeat with lighter weights.
I do want to lift heavy weights though.
The point of weight lifting is to increase the weight in the correct position.
After working out for a few years, my respect for Jang Mi-ran, the weight
lifter, grew.
You can see how hard that is, that's why.
She's the pride of Wonju, near my hometown.
You got a six-pack?
Doesn't everyone?
(Hye-jin's slim yet muscular)
Everyone does have it, it's just not seen.
Is there a single person here who has a six-pack?
No one does?
Sang-min is fit.
- You shot an ad once. - That was long time ago.
Everyone does have it, it's just not seen.
Do all models have to be skinny?
Not necessarily.
You can be chubby?
There are more models who aren't totally skinny than before.
But I think the reason most models are skinny is that
they can fit any size of clothing.
Can't short people model too then?
That's why Jang Yoon-ju is short.
- Who's short? - Jang Yoon-ju, the model.
You think she's short?
She's short for a model, about 170 cm.
I'm 177 cm, so she's considered short. Almost 4~5 cm shorter than me.
Seo Jang-hoon is the only one laughing at this.
Soo-geun can't make it, right?
I was once a hanbok model!
"The short beauty of Asia" was the theme.
Was it kid-size clothing?
(Anyone can wear hanbok!)
Hanbok for kids!
Her weakness
is jump-rope, maybe because she's so tall.
It's not much of a weakness, you get really into jump-roping?
Not jump-roping by myself,
but you know the group jump-roping?
No one would pick me in their team for it.
Really?
My forehead always gets caught.
It doesn't even graze over my head, it hits me right on my forehead.
Others were just too short.
Yeah, and I was too tall for it.
I remember what Jang-hoon said before.
He said he wishes he was even taller than now, by 10 to 20 cm,
to be a globally famous basketball player.
It's important to be that much taller, but I wanted to have a better physique.
He's already so big!
Like having longer arms, jump higher,
and be stronger.
If I can be born again, I want to be a world-famous basketball player.
He mentioned it before.
For Hye-Jin too, I'm sure there are many models in the world
who are 6' tall.
No!
Then no clothes will fit us.
If you were even taller?
I'm not considered short even overseas.
You're considered tall overseas too?
So you never wished to be taller.
If I can actually pick my own height in another life,
I think 165 cm is perfect.
You'd still be taller than me.
(A bitter smile)
(Soo-geun's height: 164.7 cm)
You're still taller than me even when you wish to be shorter than you are now.
That was funny, Soo-geun.
Her minimum height in her next life is taller than me now.
So her weakness is jump-rope because of her height.
But it's also her strength.
You know how little girls play skipping over long rubber bands?
And they raise the height of the rubber band as they sing a song?
You have to be really tall to clear the last level.
How do you know all this?
I used to hold the rubber bands for the girls.
(Gets up out of his seat)
(He's bringing out his girly side)
Wow, he's good at this.
You look pretty doing this!
(His feminine side comes out)
(He's very skilled at this)
(I'm satisfied)
She's perfect for this game.
Yes, very much so.
The final winner of this game is the one who brings down the rubber band
at its highest.
It was like watching circus!
Let's try playing it.
- Didn't you do hand-stand to play? - Yeah, standing upside-down.
(Rubber band is prepared)
It's been too long, I actually don't remember.
Just do the parts you remember.
You start from knee-level, the first level.
Then to the waist.
Then to the chest.
Yes, then to the forehead.
Let Kyung-hoon hold it, to level it.
(Starting from the forehead)
Anyone can do this height, it's basic.
Soo-geun, it's already taller than you.
(I can clear it)
- That wasn't too tight? - No.
(An evil smile)
You better don't let go!
Don't let go!
Don't make up another skit here.
(Just hold the rubber band!)
(More thrilling than the actual game)
Is this gonna work?
You have to.
(Piece of cake!)
You try it.
Try it, Si-eon.
Just lift your leg and grab it down.
(Kicking in the air)
Why are you so bad at this?
It's because of my pants.
You ripped your pants!
Really?
(I did?)
Your fly is open.
My zipper's ripped!
It's really ripped!
His zipper's ripped open.
(Level 2: Top of the head)
- Kyung-hoon can do this, right? - I totally can.
(Hye-Jin succeeds with ease)
I can do that too.
(Really? Here!)
Let's not go that high.
I can kick high.
(We forget he's an athlete)
I can totally do this.
He did hapkido before.
I can do it like this.
I don't think Kyung-hoon can get much higher though.
Let's try going this high.
This is an actual challenge.
I don't know about that one.
- It's probably 2 meters high. - I think I can.
(Meausing against his own height)
(About 2 meters high)
(Yeong-cheol tries)
(I did my share today!)
It should be higher then.
(Kyung-hoon gives it a go)
He can't do it.
(He clears it easily)
Go as high as you can.
(Stretched as high as they can)
There's no way!
Is it about Jang-hoon's height?
(Clearing above Jang-hoon's head)
So it's about 215 cm high.
Try it, try it.
I can't.
Here it comes, Jang-hoon's gonna try it.
(He first says he can't)
Can I go first?
(Failed with embarrassment)
(But with a happy smile!)
That was your best?
My pants won't allow me to go any higher.
(Hye-Jin is stretching)
You're the main character, so go last.
We'll go first.
Soo-geun, you try first.
Do it.
He's fourth-degree black belt in taekwondo.
I used to cheat when I was little.
(Grabs it by hand)
(Diverting attention with his flashy moves)
How amazing!
(A perfect crime)
(Acting like his back is hurting)
You gotta win here, so we can go to championship.
(Failed to secure more parts)
Kyung-hoon, you try it.
It's really high.
(He clears it in such an awesome way!)
You beat me again!
(Taking away the spotlight once again)
Jang-hoon, you try it. Stand in the middle.
- I tried it already. - Try it from the middle this time.
It'll be so shocking if Jang-hoon can't do this.
(The giant's flying kick!)
He used his hand!
Sorry, my arm touched it.
(His arm touched the rubber band as he jumped)
(He's trying his best today, even willing to cheat)
I didn't mean to, my arm just touched it.
You just said earlier, "Why are we doing this," then you went...
(The giant makes another attempt)
Try it, the highest you can.
(The highest possible for the giant)
(He can barely touch it)
I think it's as tall as you, Jang-hoon.
It's really high.
(Here we go!)
(The fall of the giant)
(But it was beautiful to see that he gave it his very best)
Hye-jin's turn!
(She's the last one to go)
Kyung-hoon's the only one who cleared this so far.
- I'm sure she can do it easily. - I don't think I can.
(Success!)
(She is good at this)
The final match!
Jang-hoon, hold the rubber band.
(He's been waiting for this moment)
(The final round: The height of a giant)
(Almost reaching the studio ceiling)
(Kyung-hoon tries first)
I think Kyung-hoon can do this.
Be careful.
(Barely misses)
(Feeling pressured)
(He tries again without jumping)
Be careful.
(Bounce then kick!)
(His foot touched it, but failed to pull it down)
It's your turn, Hye-Jin.
There's no way I can do this.
I better get closer.
Don't stretch out your arms and legs.
(Cheating like Dhalsim)
You can't pull out your joints either.
No levitating!
Kyung-hoon at least touched it.
(Failed, this is impossible!)
(Kyung-hoon wants to try it again)
(Doing a cartwheel for it)
(He almost touched it!)
That's not cheating, it's a legitimate skill.
It's the highest level of rubber band skill.
(Will he do it?)
Stretch out all the way!
(A dramatic success!)
(Jaw-dropping performance)
(He conquers another game to be the master)
(Amazing!)
Hye-Jin and Si-eon are accepted to our school!
(Congratulations!)
Let's find out more about Hye-Jin through this quiz.
This is something that happened in the early 2000s.
My model friend Jang Yoon-ju and I were walking on Rodeo Street in Seoul.
And there was a convertible.
A convertible with two guys in it kept following us.
Then they said something to us.
How old were you?
I was 19, and Yoon-ju was in her early 20s.
- Both were guys? - Yes.
What were you wearing?
Both of us were wearing really tight clothes.
Very tight, black clothes.
I was wearing a tight black skirt, and she wore something similar.
"Are you fashion models?"
That's terrible.
"Are you comedians?"
"No, no... I'm an English teacher."
They can totally tell we're models.
They were young and rich, wanted to party.
They said, "Hey, get in," like how guys used to tell girls back then.
No.
I'm sure they were trying to hit on you in their convertible.
They followed us all the way from Galleria Mall,
came all the way down, made a left turn,
all the way to the yellow building.
Was it crowded?
It was a very popular spot back then, you can't even get out of the street
once you drive into the area.
It was busier back then, before they made it into a one-way street.
Yoon-ju and I were walking like this.
And we noticed that this car kept following us.
The guys who were in the car said something to us finally.
Upon hearing that, we made faces like this.
What did they say?
- I'm sure they looked very cool. - I'm sure they looked normal.
- Looked cool. - Oh, cool.
Look at me from the back.
(So hot)
Don't I look pretty?
(Looking tall and professional)
"Seo Jang-hoon!"
"Han Gi-bum!"
Hey, it's Kim Tae-won from Boohwal!
(She looks like a lot of people)
(Singing one of his songs for him)
I got it, I know!
You turned to look at them.
And they just left.
Yes, but what did they say?
"We were mistaken!"
It was a similar feel.
"Hey!"
"Oh, they're just tall."
Oh, I got it!
(Getting ready)
Wasn't that right?
We were very upset at what they ended up saying to us.
They almost cussed, pretty similar to what Soo-geun said.
I got it! I'm saying this is what they said, not that we feel this way.
"Excuse me!"
(We can understand what they meant without saying a word)
He really irks me.
Hee-chul was cussing you out with his eyes.
I'll give you a better hint.
It's something the guy in the passenger seat said to the driver.
I got it!
So when you turned back...
"Excuse me!"
"Hey, close the roof!"
(Moment of crisis)
I know!
So I'm the guy in the passenger seat.
"Hey, not good."
They looked at you, and he said, "Hey, step on it."
Step on what?
- Isn't this pretty much done? - Step on the pedal.
- "Hey, just drive, hurry." - That's right!
How's that different from what I said?
Then what happened?
We were so upset, he actually said, "Oh man... Let's hurry up and go."
We got really mad at hearing it.
But there was so much traffic that they were driving right next to us
at our walking speed.
(Unexpected companion)
So we just turned around and walked the other way.
I'm sure something just came up.
(The king of having positive attitude)
So they just wanted to leave.
They were so rude!
What did Yoon-ju say?
Yoon-ju?
I can't repeat what she said on TV.
(It's OK, just say it)
We can understand, what'd she say?
We just cussed after.
- What'd you say? - "It's because of you, you..."
(Soo-geun got it right!)
(Getting goosebumps)
"It's because of you, you..."
(They blamed each other)
She didn't say the "b" word, just that, "It's because of you."
You blamed each other for it.
I told her it's because of her.
It's because you were so young, I'm sure you would've said something to them
if that happened now.
I'm sure you would've cussed back at them.
- You were shy back then. - Yeah, we were too innocent.
They'd have to close their car roof out of embarrassment.
Did a lot of guys ask you out? When you were younger?
People think a lot of foreign guys would hit on me.
But not a lot of foreigners asked me out before.
- But it did happen. - Well, yeah. It did happen.
- How'd it happen? - I was about to start working in New York.
Song Kyung-a, a fellow model, was already living in New York then.
And there was a pizza place near her house.
We stopped by there once and had some pizza, then I went back to Korea.
Then I met Kyung-a years later,
and told me that a guy who worked at the pizza place asked if she can
introduce me to him.
"That Egyptian girl" is what he referred to me as.
(An unexpected twist at the end)
(Dhalsim from India, and conquer Egypt with her beauty)
- You do have an Egyptian vibe. - You're as tall as a pyramid.
She does have that Asian beauty side, but also has the exotic look, too.
Didn't you go with us to Thailand for a Chakra's music video?
You're bringing that up now?
Yes, I knew it!
Were you an elephant in the video?
- It was around Year 2000. - It was.
I was a senior in high school, and it was my first modeling shoot overseas.
It was in Bangkok, Thailand.
I went with a new girl-group called Chakra, and they were going to
shoot magazine covers and an album cover.
And I had a separate photo shoot for myself.
Kim Joong-hwa was the photographer.
I went on that trip, and Sang-min covered the cost of the entire trip.
The entire cost of the photo shoot.
That's when you should've saved.
Sang-min was the one who got me to ride an airplane for the first time.
But think about how many staff members were part of the trip, going overseas!
The moment I realized that Sang-min was the man during the trip was
when I saw that anyone who had any issue would go to Sang-min and
ask for money.
They asked him for money if they needed anything at all.
- He must've seemed huge then. - I thought he was amazing.
Maybe you can help him out a little now, since he got you to go overseas then.
(The tide has turned)
(The brothers are all about helping the neighbors)
This feels a little strange.
(She feels strange too)
They say even the cats repay the grace they received.
Give him about a third of your pay here.
You can write a book about it, "How Dhalsim repaid the grace she received."
You shouldn't be so cold, you should give back as much as you received.
At least leave your watch here.
(We hope Sang-min has a warm winter this year)
Got it.
(Next question!)
Something happened in Paris when I was doing a fashion show, and I almost died
trying not to laugh out loud.
What do you think happened?
It was on the runway.
It was during a fashion show?
I'll give a very predictable answer first.
A model walking in front of you farted really loud but
acted like nothing ever happened, still doing a model-walk.
You laughed because you were so baffled.
So you were walking, then her fart pushed you back.
That's not it. The stage was really high that day, it wasn't on the floor.
And it's OK to far because the music is so loud.
No matter how loud you far, the music is still louder.
But it's dangerous if the stage is low, the audience is too close to you.
They can smell you, so you can't fart on stages like that.
Are you saying that because you farted on stage before?
Of course not, I'm just explaining what can happen.
(Looking very suspicious)
Don't singers sometimes fart too? While singing?
Don't you sometimes fart when you shoot a basketball?
That's how Jang-hoon jumps! With his fart!
He can jump twice in the air because of it.
(A secret behind the national basketball player)
I know!
You were walking on the runway, and there were some people who
like to play pranks in the crowd.
And someone in the audience went...
To the models?
No. No one does that.
No one? Never?
No one would do that, and they're mostly celebrities who sit
in the front row.
Famous people sit there.
But there are some you always run into.
They'd look around at the models in such a busy way.
They'd stare at models' bodies.
What, like this?
(Can't do this at at a fashion show)
(You almost want to smack him)
(Mimicking an actor)
As soon as you step out in the runway, there are 3,000 people staring at you.
It was during Paris Collection, and I broke out in laughter when I made a turn.
What do you think happened?
- I think I get it. - Oh, your model friend...
"It's because of you, you..."
(Doing a model pose too)
(Dhalsim kick of wrath)
(Her friendship continued from Seoul to Paris)
(Baffled)
Yoon-ju held onto it for the entire time.
(They're working hard to make up rumors today too)
"I still think it's because of you!"
But it was actually a pretty serious moment.
I was walking.
And there was an issue with my shoes.
I got it! I think I saw this on the Internet.
Models wear high heels, and you started walking like this.
(Crooked)
(Struggling not to fall down)
But they never fall!
I'll hit you since you were wrong.
But you know when you see models go like this?
It's because they're trying so hard to finish their walks.
So don't laugh when you see that.
You're the one who's laughing the hardest!
(Can't hold back her laughter anymore)
The heel broke off.
(Confident that he's right)
So you had to walk like this?
You kept walking like this trying not to fall, and you realized how funny it is.
- So you started laughing. - That's not it.
You saw someone's heel breaking off,
but she tip-toe'd her way through like it had an invisible heel.
No, that's not it.
Your heel broke off while you were walking.
Then the next model stepped on it.
Then she said on her way back, "It's because of you."
Hye-jin's shoe came off.
Then the next person just put on that shoe.
And each model thereafter?
Yeah, every model keeps changing her shoe, and the designer comes at the end
to clean off all the shoes.
- Aren't I right? - Wrong!
The model behind me did something.
I know!
(Kicks the shoe)
(She kicked the shoe away?)
- Right? - No.
Hye-Jin already lost a heel on her way back.
So she must've walked like this on her way back.
Then the model after just thought it was the theme of the show.
(Started to walk like Hye-Jin)
Every model walked that way until the entire show finished.
(Walk like Hye-Jin day)
(So hilarious)
It's because Hye-jin's a top model, walking that way ahead of them.
(Not the right answer, but it was funny at least)
(Still can't figure out the answer)
Did she pick up the heel?
The model behind me was holding a purse.
(Got it!)
So that's the answer then, right?
She picked up the heel and put it in her bag.
Yes, that's the right answer.
I thought it was so funny.
It is funny!
I turned around like this.
I don't think she did it like that.
(Did I do a good job?)
(Soo-geun thinks differently)
I'm sure she used a skill.
(More like a circus rather than a fashion show)
No, it was like this.
(Like this? Hop?)
(Showing off soccer footwork on the runway)
(Happy he made everyone laugh)
There must be many funny moments on the runway.
Yes, there are.
If there's a dinner fashion show around 7 or 8 PM,
we come at 9 or 10 AM to get ready.
It used to be even longer before.
Because we had to wait for such a long time, we'd all gather.
And just talk among ourselves.
If someone told a story right before the show started,
and if the story is so funny that my stomach hurt from laughing so much,
and you see the person who told that story on the runway,
then I go crazy trying to hold myself back from breaking out in laughter.
It was usually Yoon-ju who'd tell funny stories like that.
It's always her!
She's the seed of all laughter, the root of evil.
She'd talk about vulgar things a lot.
(I like that stuff)
We'd listen to her vulgar stories and laugh.
One day, we were at a fashion show with elegant evening dresses with jewelry.
I'm laughing already.
There were about 30 models on stage.
At the end of the show, we were long evening dresses, posing elegantly.
We had to wait like that until the final scene.
Yoon-ju walked out like this as the last model, wearing her dress,
she made her turn, then looked at the rest of us, all 29 models,
and started to laugh out loud.
She found it really funny and she broke out in laughter.
She saw us and went...
She started walking back towards us, with her shoulders shaking from
trying not to laugh.
The rest of us were all in pose like this.
Maybe the audience thought that was the theme of the night.
29 people doing this together.
We couldn't make any sound, there were violinists playing,
we had to come off serious and elegant the whole time.
The person who produced that show is the head of the agency I'm a part of.
We got in so much trouble by him.
He said the designer cried because of us.
We ruined her show.
She should've walked out to the runway at the end like this too!
She should've been more clever!
(I'm really sorry about that time)
Next question!
I always have to watch what I eat.
And I ended up reaching this level after a while.
- Why are you laughing? - Something funny about food.
Your poop came out green from eating vegetables all the time.
(Always thinking about poop)
What do you normally eat, when you're on a diet?
Think about what I'd eat.
- It's the usual stuff. - Chicken breast!
- Yes. - Sweet potatoes.
Yes.
I know, I once only ate chicken breast for 8 months.
You found your own recipes to eat chicken breast in a tasty way.
- Like you grind it up or something. - That's not it.
You reached a certain level?
You just imagine any type of food and now you can taste it.
- That level? - I wish!
You reached the level of cutting out chicken breast meat from a live chicken.
(Appalled)
(Like a kung fu master?)
It's not about chicken breast.
- It's not? - Yes, that's a hint.
You learned how to store food in your cheeks.
Like a squirrel?
You regurgitate.
I got it!
It's about eggs.
Yes, it's about eggs.
People on diet eat boiled eggs.
And people eat just the white yolk.
The egg...
You incubate eggs and chicks hatch?
You eat an egg, and...
You can tell if the egg is from Korea or overseas!
How's that possible?
I know, you can guess the exact time when you want it fully boiled or half-way.
No. But it's about the taste of egg.
You can tell how long ago the egg was laid by tasting it.
(What am I, a person with superpowers?)
"This one was laid a week ago!"
You can read the thoughts of the chicken that laid the egg!
You're a psychometrist!
You can sense the thoughts of the chicken as you eat its egg.
I know! You eat an egg and you can tell what breed of a chicken it came from.
You can know the name of the chicken!
(Unimaginable superpowers)
It's about being on a diet, and you're eating eggs for that purpose.
So you can only eat white yolk but it's just so bland in taste.
Most people eat eggs with salt.
But now you've reached a level of tasting saltiness in white yolk.
That's correct!
I just hate white yolk for a month, without any salt.
I started to taste sweetness and saltiness from it.
My taste palette became so alive and sensitive!
I can't just drink any water anymore.
I can taste the difference in water!
I ate no salt for a month.
I can taste difference in various types of water, some smell, some feel heavy...
I couldn't drink water outside of my home.
I used to be in a cooking battle show.
And sometimes I had to be the judge.
But some people who are masters in tasting food, they'd eat no salt for a month.
They make their taste palette completely bland and neutral.
They say that they can come to a more detailed conclusion that way.
What does it feel like when you go through such an extreme degree of diet?
It just gets harder and harder.
I wanted to retire when I was around 30.
I keep gaining weight, and there's nothing I can do about it.
I have to exercise more and go on stricter diets, so it's really tiring.
So when dieting becomes really hard, I always think I want to retire soon.
(Bros School)
- That was fun. - You did well.
- This is so tiring. - You did very well.
Okay, last question.
I didn't even start.
Sorry for sending you out there when the mood is so serious.
- You should've gone out when the mood was better. - Last question.
There's something I did in high school to look cooler.
- Guess what that is. - That's too hard.
- In high school? - Something I did in high school to look cooler.
- Not in college? - In high school.
I don't know. Next.
- I don't know. - Minus one point for you Ho-dong.
Gosh, why high school? Can't you do something in college?
- What can it be? - There are many things we used to do.
We used to grow sideburns.
You grow the back of your hair.
You got a piercing in a secretive place only you know about.
The middle of your tongue. Right here.
It was something I thought would make me look cooler.
I know. You smoked two cigarettes at once.
(What do you take me for?)
You used to do that? You were rich.
- You were wealthy if you could do that. - Hye-Jin, take a look.
We are a non-smoking program.
- Really? - Yes, we're a non-smoking program.
No, this is a variety program.
I know. You were in your puberty during your senior year.
You followed Jung Woo-sung from the movie "Beat," rode a motorcycle
with your arms spread out, and got caught by the police.
- You shouldn't ride it like that. - No.
- It wasn't anything rebellious. - You were just trying to look cool.
You were always listening to music.
I had nothing, so I thought doing that would be cool.
(You had nothing?)
I know! You didn't carry any books in your backpack.
You left your books under your desk and just carried useless things in your backpack.
- That's not it. - Did you do it for a year?
No, I think I did it for about three years.
Did you go to an all boys' high school?
No, co-ed.
At an all boys' high school, boys would try to look cool during roll call.
When the teacher called your name, you'd be like, "Here."
(Fearlessly bluffing)
When you opened your eyes, you were at the infirmary.
There are kids who joke like that.
I thought students were the coolest when they acted like students.
- Your uniform... - Right, it has to do with a uniform.
You totally shrank your uniform.
I did shrink it a bit, but that's not the answer.
I know. You tied your tie around your head.
- Like this. - Yeah, around your head.
Did you pull up your collar?
I did that often, but that's not it.
- I really did that. - Earl style.
(Earl style that is accomplished with just a collar.)
If you put your tie around your head, too, it'd be no joke.
You said you thought students were the coolest when they acted like students?
All you wore was your uniform.
- You didn't wear anything else. - Wow, you got it. I'll team up with you for this.
Even when you go outside, you're in your uniform. That's all you wore.
- You got it. - Why did you do that?
Even on the weekends when there was no school, I wore my uniform.
- Why? - For what reason?
I thought wearing uniforms was way cooler than wearing normal clothes.
What if you met a classmate on a Sunday when you were
in a uniform. Wouldn't he be like, "Isn't he stupid?"
But he thought that was cool, so he wouldn't have cared.
I understand if he did that in middle school, but he did it in high school.
Your friends must have been like, "Don't you have any clothes?"
There's some kind of rebellious image you have when you're young, you know?
For example, I thought doing something adults were
against were cooler if you did them in a uniform.
The original purpose of uniforms is to make
students spend less money on other clothes.
- Huh? Really? - If students don't wear uniforms,
then they'll focus on buying clothes at home.
- Right. - So students are forced to wear uniforms to lessen the cost,
but if he wore them on the weekends, too, then he
really doesn't spend any money on other clothes.
I didn't have that many clothes anyways.
But isn't the purpose of uniforms something else?
To show that you're a student?
No. To let people know what school you're from
if you do something bad outside of school.
- What are you saying? - Uniforms are used to make everyone look equal.
- Really? - So that everyone will appear equal.
(So that everyone can wear the same attire!)
You won't be discouraged at school either.
That's why you wear uniforms.
I even wore uniforms on blind dates.
- You wore uniforms on blind dates? - Yeah.
- Did you even go on a blind date before? - Of course.
Then did it give you some kind of effect during blind dates?
That's what my next question will be about.
Let's do it.
Truthfully speaking, the uniform isn't the problem. What if Hee-chul worn a uniform?
Even if he's not wearing anything...
Of course. If I hadn't worn anything, it would've been no joke.
(Look at his confidence!)
You made a good point, Hye-Jin.
If I hadn't worn a uniform and just went to the blind date, they would've been like...
Look at his eyes!
The next problem is...
While roaming around everywhere in my uniform, I
went to meet this girl my friend introduced me to.
But after that, I lost touch with her.
Why was I rejected?
I know. Wasn't it Yoon Jung-soo?
- Because you wore uniform on a Saturday. - It was a Sunday.
A Sunday...
(Culture shock)
Maybe she was like, "Doesn't he have any clothes?"
But at that time, I wasn't embarrassed at all.
- But that girl... - She could've thought that way.
She wanted to go on a date in normal clothes like a college student,
but she was embarrassed he came out in a uniform.
That's right. She wanted to go to a Colatec with him,
but he was wearing a uniform, so they couldn't.
Don't you wear uniforms to Colatec?
- That's right. They don't sell alcohol. - You can wear uniforms.
I never went there before.
- That's why it's Colatec. - What is that anyways?
- Is the uniform a reason why you were rejected? - No.
- It has nothing to do with it? - Yeah.
When my friend told her about me, she would've known I only wore uniforms.
She was hoping she'd meet someone with a vibe like Kang Dong-won from
"Wolf's Temptation," but she met you, and she was like, "Ugh, disgusting!"
You went home without paying, so she ended up paying for everything.
- Maybe they split it in half. - No, he just left.
- "Don't you think we should split the bill?" - No, it's not that.
You bought drinks at a convenience store,
sat in somewhere like a playground,
had your date there, and went home after that.
That would've been better.
It must be worse than that!
- You didn't have a lot of money. - It happened because he didn't have money.
Did you take her to an arcade?
You guy went to a PC room!
- Did you guys go to a video room? - A video room!
Video room? Minors can't go int there.
You guys said it.
- The arcade! - It's the arcade then. The arcade again?
What do you mean again?
You took her to an arcade and you tried to be cool.
"Here. Drink this."
Then you went on the DDR.
Pump! Then you grabbed hold of this and...
(Summoned the god of pump!)
- So the girl ran away. - Isn't it the arcade?
- It is. - You took 50 cents to the arcade.
- No way! - You took 50 cents...
You gave her 20 cents and kept 30 cents for yourself. Then you guys played games.
After the arcade, you guys went home. That's it, right? See?
You got it! How did you get all the details?
(Proud as a peacock)
Surprising, right?
It's really surprising, isn't it?
- Jang-hoon, you paid the staff, didn't you? - No.
- Isn't that why they're shy around you? - No. I never talked with them at all.
- How'd you know? - You're really good at guessing!
It's amazing he got the details.
I always guess well, but his expression and eyes
told me that he didn't even have a dollar on him.
Earlier, I said that he got food from the
convenience store and had a date at the playground.
But he said, "That would've been better."
- He said it was worse and mentioned the arcade. - 50 cents?
I thought what could be the worst he could bring to an arcade.
His eyes told me 50 cents.
She's so mean. You gave her 20 cents.
- That's incredible. - Right? He gave her 20 cents.
- I even got the part right where you gave her 20 cents. - Yes, you got it exactly.
You spent 30 cents, and you gave her 20 cents?
(Nation's center of answers)
I said, "Here's 20 cents. Go ahead and play." But she was gone.
Oh my god.
- You came back and she was gone? - I came back after a game, but she left.
- You should've played with her. - So what happened? Tell us the details.
I suggested we go to the arcade, so we went there and I changed the 50 cents.
"Here's 20 cents. I'm going to play a game. Let's meet here later."
- But I came back and she was gone. - You think she'll be there?
Isn't it weird for her to even wait for you?
- Why would she be there? - I thought she'd wait for me!
If I think about it now, I wonder I brought 50 cents.
- It was probably because that was all I had. - Probably.
She would've been happier if you brought 60 cents and split it equally.
You should've sold something.
- Hye-Jin, you know how we're guessing the answer? - Yeah.
Do you really think she dumped him because of 50 cents?
That's my question.
She was going to leave from the beginning.
Let's say Kang Dong-won brought five cents.
- He didn't even have 50 cents. He had five cents. - Why bring him up?
You're sharp.
The problem might not be the 50 cents.
But even if Kang Dong-won did the same thing-
- I'm sorry, Jang-hoon. - She probably would've stayed longer but left eventually.
- She wouldn't have. - Sorry, but if it was Kang Dong-won...
I would've given him money.
You'd be like, "Dong-won, play more."
- You'd be a sugar mama. - Yeah.
Sugar mama.
- Back then, I thought that was cool. - It seemed manly.
(Totally empathizes)
Just being like, "Here. I'll be back."
He was trying to be a tsundere, bu the failed.
That's the worst.
Didn't you hear anything from her about the reason after that?
Nope. I didn't even keep in touch with my friend who introduced her to me.
(Total rejection)
He looks like a deflated Ko Chang-seok.
- A slightly deflated one. - What?
I look like Yang Hyun-suk?
- Ko Chang-seok. - Chang-seok?
Oh, come on! That's too much!
- They really look similar! - I told you so!
- But that's... - A slightly deflated version of him.
He said you look like Ko Chang-seok but why did you suddenly mention Yang Hyun-suk?
I heard a lot that I look like Yang Hyun-suk.
- Really? Where? - His lips, kind of.
- My oral angle. - Act like him.
- "Hey, Ji-Yong. Want to go home?" - You're Lee Si-eon.
I should go home.
- Be nice to him! - He really looks like Ko Chang-seok!
- How dare you! - What's wrong with that? I look like Kim Byeong-ok.
- "Oh, Oh Tae-sik." - Kim Byeong-ok looks like C-Jamm.
- You guys don't know C-Jamm? - No one here probably knows him.
You guys don't know him?
- What's that? - Is it a company?
- C-Jamm. - We're weak in the rap department.
- What do you think your ranking of looks is among us? - I think I'm third.
- Tell us first, second, and third. - Ask Yoon-joo, I mean Hye-Jin.
I feel like Yoon-joo is here today.
I should've brought a standing board of her.
(Ho-dong is interested in the ranking of looks.)
You're in sixth place.
You're in sixth place and Hye-Jin is in third place.
What? That's it?
- I rank lower than these two? - Yes.
- Why these two? - He said yes?
He pushed Young-chul and me out.
(Caught!)
He thought he's better-looking than Si-eon and put him in sixth place.
Did you or did you not lose to me in the citizen poll?
He really did?
Hye-Jin, we're the same age. Is it Seo Jang-hoon or me?
Don't look at the body. Just the face.
Seo Jang-hoon or me? Choose. One, two, three!
(Appealing his side)
Make yourself goodr-looking.
(This is the best.)
Make yourself proper.
Just as we are. Be honest.
(He asks for help.)
Someone bring me a chisel.
(Let's shrink the size first!)
- This is hard! - I know, but just do it for him.
But why do you guys always ask this to girls? Is there a meaning behind it?
Let's listen.
Of course there's meaning to it. If he gets chosen, he eats deliciously.
The sound of his chewing becomes different!
- Height and stature doesn't matter! It's all about the face! - It's the vibe.
- Right. - I bet she really hates this.
Jang-hoon!
(He didn't gain anything and just proved his ugliness.)
- Goodness. - Where are you going now?
- Wow. Today is just... - I'm doing so many ceremonies.
Isn't Hye-jin's comment funny? He showed her his face, and she said make it proper.
(Just joking.)
I feel like Si-eon was popular during his school days.
- I was more popular than you think. - See?
He was popular among the guys and got along with his friends...
But no luck with girls?
But there are guys who ruin everything just by trying to be cool in front of girls.
I never thought about it now, but now I realize the truth because of Ho-dong.
The 50 cents wasn't the issue.
She just hates you.
(Doesn't hear)
- Even if it wasn't for the 50 cents... - Right.
- Han Hye-Jin. - Yes?
Lee Si-eon or me?
- This is the last thing. - Just think of it as a good deed for the year.
- Based on looks only. - "Looks only."
He's just a deflated Ko Chang-seok anyways.
"Ko Chang-seok!"
No grudges will be held! Ko Chang-seok or me?
(Young-chul sends a signal to Hye-Jin.)
(Just pick him!)
One, two, three.
(What will be her choice?)
- Hurry. - Kang Ho-dong!
- Father! - All done now!
- Kang Ho-dong! - Father!
(It's fortunate we can move onto the next question.)
(It's okay as long as Ho-dong is happy!)
- Then what becomes of Lee Si-eon? - Next question!
But after talking with him, he has a kind nature.
- Now you say that? - He has a good character.
- Didn't I say that in the waiting room? -Yes.
He said the sound of your laughter is very charming.
But do I really look mean?
- Your voice has sincerity. - Your laughter is very kind.
- Give us the next problem. - Okay.
When I debuted, I got a lot of encouragement from my friends in Busan.
But there were words of encouragement that really burdened me.
What is it? Guess it in the Busan dialect.
"Hey, if you become successful, let me be your manager."
- Nope. - Sheesh.
"Way to go, framework of pretty boy Lee Si-eon."
- No. - "Way to go, framework of son Lee Si-eon!"
- Nope. - You're really bad at dialects.
I've never done it before.
"Si-eon, come back already."
- He said it was an encouragement. - Encouragement?
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
(Since it's an encouragement, he played it by ear!)
(Encouragement-holic)
- Wrong. - I think Soo-geun is seriously a genius.
But I think everyone here is a genius.
- You guys are all great. - I'm not a genius.
- No, you are a genius. - I just make a lot of effort.
Even if I debuted 19 years ago, I'm still making an effort.
It was when I debuted through the movie "Friends."
Amazing. When you debuted through "Friends."
I know. "Be the second Yoo Oh-seong."
It's similar, but no.
- "Be the second Jang Dong-geun." - You're better-looking than him!
- My friend is good-looking! - "Be the second Ko Chang-seok!"
Song Kang-ho is from Busan. "Be the second Song Kang-ho."
One more person.
Song Kang-ho! Choi Min-sik! Then it's you!
Just hearing this makes me feel burdened.
Song Kang-ho and Choi Min-sik!
What if it's someone completely different? Song Kang-ho and Lee Kyung-kyu.
Lee Si-eon!
(Kyung-kyu is also a proud man of Busan~)
"Make it so it's Song Kang-ho, Sul Kyung-koo, and Lee Si-eon."
You got it.
(Kim Hee-chul got the answer.)
"You go to Hawaii." It's Hawaii, right?
They're the best, you know? They're one-of-a-kind.
But my friends keep going, "When will you be like Song Kang-ho and Sul Kyung-koo?"
- That was really burdensome for me. - Were they teasing you?
No. If they were teasing me, they would've said,
"When will you be like Won Bin and Kang Dong-won?"
- Those were your friends' wishes. - Yes, they are.
To be honest, I debuted as one of the four main leads in "Friends."
I was cleaning in Daekhak-ro when I saw the audition and became the main lead.
That's how I debuted, but after that, things
didn't work out for me until "Reply 1991."
My friends would be like, "Come on down. We'll arrange a job for you."
They're not actually telling you to come.
They're saying that you'll always have a place there even if you
mess up badly so to be do the best you can without any burden.
- That's it, isn't it? - You should cheer up, Si-eon, and keep doing your best.
(2017 Strongest Super Model Contest)

Too much. Wow. Look at those pants.
(The bad example of models who try to be unique)
What the heck? Is he Sakura?
(Kim Young-chul: Model with individuality whose glamorous (?) face stands out)
His outfit is amazing, but his face is awful.
His back figure is great. His outfit looks good.
Oh, my.
Oh my goodness.
It's Yon-sama!

That's a thatched house.
(She poses with kill heels that are more than a foot tall.)
(Han Hye-Jin: an out-of-the-world body made by pure care)
- She really is a model. - She looks cool though.
(She steals the eyes of the other participants.)
- Please go to your place. - "It's all your fault, you wench."
"It's all your fault." Too much.
- You. You. You. - It's all your fault.
I'm so embarrassed!
It's an honor to see her in real life.
- Wow! So good! So good! So good! - It's so hot.
- Hello. - Hello, I'm designer Cherry.
I'm going to interview you. Can you introduce yourself before we talk, honey?
I'm sorry, but why do you keep touching me?
Okay. Hello I'm Seo Jang-hoon, the tallest model in the country.
Even now, I'm still growing.
- Wow. - Oh my gosh. That's disgusting.
It's okay. It's not because of your height. It's because of your face.
Please...
Please look forward to my bright future.
It's dark. It's dark.
When you're a model, and you're either happy or sad,
- with a pose... - A pose?
You express yourself with a pose. Is that possible?
- What are you expressing? - That he has this much treasures.
"I have this much treasures at home!"
(Flaunting-his-wealth pose (?))
What about when you're a sad?
A pose to express the experience of a second break-up.
Can you show us that pose?
Okay. One, two, three.
- Wow. - I heard he's very interested in models.
Really? You should've told me sooner.
Please give him a round of applause.
Hello. I'm Min Kyung-hoon.
After looking around, it seems like everyone is a rookie. However, I have experience.
That's right. He's a professional and not an amateur. I prepared a picture.
- Of our Min Kyung-hoon. - I'm a professional.
Okay. His picture during his model days.
- Wow. - What's that?
What is this advertising?
- A cane? - Is it just your back that worked out?
This is called back muscle.
Back muscle.
- He was posing as a turtle. - What the heck is that?
Next participant, please introduce yourself.
I'm Lee Sang-min, a model specializing in small profits and quick returns.
I'm a model who can express loans, collateral, and bankruptcy.
Anything is possible, so if you choose me, I'll do my best.
- Judging from his attire, isn't he an all-kill? - He sure is.
What's the concept of your outfit?
Please prepare yourself next time.
We'll move onto the next participant. Please introduce yourself.
I'm Lee Soo-geun, the country's first model.
Are there more tall models or short models in Korea?
It means I'm that much more scarce.
At one point, I used to be very popular.
I modeled for brands like Burdeng and Kkombai kkom.
- "Kkombai kkom." - "Kkombai kkom."
Burdeng and Kkombai kkom. Until they return!
Lee Soo-geun doesn't come out without a reason.
Please make an acrostic poem with the word Super Model.
Out of the blue?
- Yes, out of the blue. - Where does it say that?
It has been suddenly added.
(Flustered)
(Cherry's sudden (?) 4-character acrostic poem test!)
- This is fun. - Now, "Su!"
Super Man.
- "Per!" - Hurry up and come.
- "Mo." - Why are you here so late?
- "Del." - Are you saying you don't care?
(Pretty good!)
Okay. Now that Lee Soo-geun in the front went,
it's time for Kim Young-chul in the back.
Start with the acrostic poem right away.
"Su!"
- "Su." - I'm aspiring to be a super model.
- You should've gone with Super Man. - "Per."
What do you think the percentage is?
- "Mo." - I said I'm a model.
- "Del." - Don't you think I'll make it?
- Okay, next person. - I'll do it.
- Super Man! - He's going to use a different word.
I'll choose a different word. Let's try designer.
"De!"
- "De!" - Do you want to die?
- "Si!" - Little punk!
- "Gn!" - You little punk!
- "Er!" - Do you want to die?
- He's awesome! - Please introduce yourself.
You want me to introduce myself?
- He's scary! - I'm Kang Ho-dong from Masan.
There's no rule that says only skinny people can be models!
3XL models like me will take over the model industry now!
All the 3XL people in the country, please believe in me!
Wow. All right.
Next participant. Oh, you have a school look.
- Are you a student? - Yes, I'm a high school student.
Hello. I'm Lee Si-eon from Busan.
The basic of every outfit is the uniform.
I'm a boy who wears uniforms 356 days a year, whether it's raining or snowing.
Please choose me for uniform modeling.
The modeling fee is only 50 cents!
(Nervous with the overlapping characters)
Is there a participant here that you wonder why
they even bothered to join in the first place?
I wonder why Kim Young-chul joined.
Seriously, my clothes and looks are the most model-worthy here.
Kim Hee-chul, your face needs to be scolded.
(Bull's eye)
Why are all the criticisms about my face so funny today?
His outfit looks like a North Korean leaflet.
- He looks like a North Korean kid. - I'm a North Korean kid.
- All right then. Last is our famous... - My rival!
- She's my rival! - Can you show us a variety of poses and expressions?
Of course. I have a divine face.
Can I ask you to make a cute pose first?
Cute pose. Okay. One, two-
(Overloading of designer Cherry!)
Please show us a cute pose first. One, two, three.
(Cute)
- She's scary. - That's not cute.
- He asked for a cute pose. - She's scary.
Just say that's cute.
Then a sexy pose. One, two, three.
- She's scary. - Isn't it the same as before?
Dhalsim pose. One, two, three.
(Yoga fire!)
Nice! We have amazing participants here.
You still got it.
The test to find the 2017 Strongest Super Model
will officially begin!
(2017 Strongest Super Model Contest)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
If you're a model, you must quickly change your
outfits in the backstage of the fashion show.
How fast can you change, Hye-Jin?
- Models usually change within ten seconds. - Ten seconds?
- Seriously? Don't joke. - Ten seconds.
Really?
Our top model Hye-Jin takes ten seconds.
- It takes her that long. - He scared me.
(Designer Cherry's unique speech)
(My style)
We're going to have a test to see how fast you guys can change.
You guys have to go into your respective changing
rooms and change into the assigned outfits.
The time limit is 30 seconds.
- 30 seconds. - After 30 seconds, the curtains will automatically open.
In that state, you need to walk down the runway and pose.
The one who has properly dressed the most is the winner.
The first round is between Soo-geun and Sang-min.
Soo-geun. Sang-min.
(Short model Soo-geun VS. Bankruptcy model Sang-min)
In your places.
- His shoes are a problem. - His shoes!
Take off your shoes.
All right. It will start the moment you go inside.
- Aren't you a professional? - He's wearing track pants.
- This is nothing. - Ready?
Shouldn't someone guard this?
Go!
Everyone probably saw my underwear as I went in!
Who's counting the time?
(It's already been 10 seconds!)
What the heck?
(Will it really be possible in 30 seconds?)
- It's too long. - Three, two, one! Time's up!
What the heck?
- Time's up! - What the heck?
Everyone to the front. We'll choose who dressed the most properly.
(He couldn't close his buttons all the way.)
He didn't wear his shoes.
It's obvious Lee Soo-geun won. Victory to Soo-geun!
Please return to your seat.
Next up is...
- Ho-dong and I will go first. - Okay, Kang Ho-dong versus Seo Jang-hoon.
(Giant model Jang-hoon VS. 3XL model Ho-dong)
I should've just done this.
- This is a disadvantage to tall people. It's too tiny. - Then be short.
Don't you think I'm at a disadvantage, too? 3XL is at a disadvantage, too.
Okay. Ready. Get set. Go!
(The entrance speed of the two giants are clearly slow.)
Who put the pants inside out? You shouldn't do that!
My goodness!
- Ten, night, eight. - Darn it!
- Seven. - What the heck? Why is 30 seconds so fast?
- Five. - Lie!
- Four. - Lie! You're lying, aren't you?
- Three. - Don't!
- Two. - Don't!
- One! - Lie!
- Now! - Don't!
(Prepare to open!)
- Now! - Don't!
(Don't open it~)
(Disaster called by shortening of time!)
(Ho-dong can't come out?)
His pants don't fit!
(Ho-dong wore Soo-geun's pants!)
Ho-dong, those are mine!
(Coy/Confident)
What the heck? How is 30 seconds that fast?
- Why were my pants in there? - You should've given me my pants!
Why did you put mine in there?
- What the heck? - Jang-hoon won.
You didn't take anything off.
This man has decided to try out to become a female model.
- Underwear. - His role models are Jang Yoon-joo and Han Hye-Jin.
- Stop it! - Please sit down.
- Who won? - You did.
- You won. - You did.
- No! - You took one clothing off, so you won.
- You won. - Gosh.
Did you hear him play coy? "No!"
Next up is Young-chul versus Si-eon.
(School uniform model Si-eon VS. Body-only model Young-chul)
Okay. Are you ready?
Ready? Set...
- Go! - I bet Si-eon is super fast.
(A close game is predicted!)
Just give them 20 seconds.
- It's been 20 seconds now. - Already?
Okay. Three. Two. Done!
(Huh???)
What the heck? How are you guys so fast?
(They go on the runway like nothing happened.)
- He didn't wear his shoes. - Shoes. Buttons. Victory goes to Lee Si-eon!
We'll do the last one right away. Hye-Jin against Kyung-hoon.
Amazing.
(Top model Hye-Jin VS. Back model Kyung-hoon)
Since Han Hye-Jin is a lady,
I'll ask you if you're ready to go. I'll go, "Daijobudesuka?"
- So let me know if you're okay. - Okay.
- Ready? - Be careful with the curtains.
- Yes, please. - Go!
Ten seconds have already passed.
- What do you mean? - How can that be when we just came inside?
20 seconds have passed.
Why did you guys remove this?
(A very busy changing room)
- My pants are small! - Darn it!
Is there construction going on in there?
Three! Two!
Done!
Can I open the curtain?
- Can we open it? Can we, Hye-Jin? - Sure.
Okay.
(Automatic pose)
- She looks cool. - This is like that situation when one of her heels broke!
(Even though she's missing a shoe, her walking is clear!)
- One of her buttons are buttoned wrong. - It is?
- Yes, but it stills looks fashionable. - It's natural.
Hye-Jin won!
- She won even without a shoe on? - There's no reason behind it.
- I'm a mess. - There's no reason at all.
It's whatever Cherry wants.
- Model always wins, right? - Yes, it's whatever I want.
Okay, now it's time for the semi-final.
There's no time limit for this one.
The one who completely dresses and exits the changing room is the winner.
- Okay. - Let me make a suggestion.
- Sure. - The winner can pull back the other person's curtain, right?
Extremely very good.
That's a very good idea.
(Be prepared!)
- Now the semi-finals. - I'm going to get you. I won't let you be.
I'll just-!
(Giant model Jang-hoon VS. Short model Soo-geun)
Get ready!
Like we discussed before, the first person to come
out can open up the curtain of the other person.
Okay, ready?
(The son is embarrassed of his dad...)
Go!
(Closed the curtain late again)
- Geez! - You can let go. They have to walk out.
Since they have to walk out.
(Who will dress first?)
(Soo-geun exits first!)
(Oh my!)
(Three things Jang-hoon can't avoid in life...rent, separation, and Soo-geun.)
- Jang-hoon, congratulations. - Let go.
Pretty good this time, right? Check it out.
- His underwear is gray. - "Yes, punk?"
Yes. His underwear is the color of gray.
With this, Soo-geun has entered the finals.
(Top model Hye-Jin VS. School uniform model Si-eon)
- This one is hard. - Take your shoes off both of you.
This...
What do you call this again?
Changing room.
- Be careful of the changing room. I need to take it to Paris. - Okay.
He didn't know that it was called a changing room?
Let's start right away.
Ready? Go!
(The changing rooms are busy as usual.)
- Oh my god. - What was that?
(What are they doing...?)
- Are they dead? - I don't know. Why are they quiet?
- He's not done yet? - He's done! Stop!
- Hye-Jin, please stop. I'm going to open this. - Sure.
- This is easy. - Wait a minute.
How many buttons did you button? One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four, five. She buttoned five.
Si-eon came out on time.
But Hye-Jin, you were late, and you don't have your shoes on.
What will you do on the runway?
She'll do it coolly.
Please leave the runway.
That's right.
(Eliminated Kyung-hoon's revenge for Cherry's biased judgment (?)!)
The final is between Soo-geun and Si-eon! Please prepare!
- He could've passed Hye-Jin, but he didn't. - I know.
He told her to leave the runway.
Do it again?
- Just wear your clothes. - Can I change into this one this time?
(The length is just perfect though?)
(Short model Soo-geun VS. School uniform model Si-eon)
- Get ready. - We need to change out of this.
- Just open the curtains in ten seconds. - Ten seconds?
- No. We just have to change on our own time. - Okay.
The most famous fashion show in Paris...
Pret-a-porter.
- Ppretta purette? - Pret-a-porter.
Ppurettte pparattta
All right. Who will be the one model to attend Ppurettte Pparattta?
Ready? Set. Go!
(The final starts!)
Lee Soo-geun.
- Set. Go! - Lee Soo-geun. Go Soo-geun!
(Everything can be seen.)
Soo-geun, show us your skills!
(Soo-geun came out first half-naked!)
What the heck?
(Is it possible for him to walk down the runway like that?)
Soo-geun, you need to walk down the runway like that.
Will this be possible?
(The final stage full of abrupt nude color (?))
If Soo-geun can walk down the runway in this state...
If you can do it, you can win!
His belly button is so cute!
My dad cut my umbilical cord funny.
(A belly button with a story)
If you can walk down the runway like this, you'll win.
Lee Si-eon will go first and then Lee Soo-geun.
I had no idea he would come out like that.
- Give us... - What's this?
Music!
- The music is nice. - Be cool.
(First finalist is Lee Si-eon.)
Please turn around.
- You have to turn! - Please turn around.
(Lee Si-eon isn't confident about his back side.)
You have to turn around and walk back.
(In the end, he runs away.)
Next up, will...?
I'm really curious about this.
(Second finalist is Lee Soo-geun.)
(Struts his stuff)
(Full of confidence)
(Confident)
(Suffocating back side)
(Fashion is confidence.)
You're doing great, Soo-geun!
(Charisma)
(He confidently starts to exit.)
Wave! Wave! Wave! Wave!
(A perfect ending with stomach fat waves!)
With this...
I announce the honorable winner of 2017 Super Model Contest to be...
Lee Soo-geun!
I knew you'd win! Congratulations!
- I knew it. - Your face needs to be scolded.
(A gift for the winner?)
He looks like he won the super model contest for children's wear.
We have a prize for the first-place winner.
All right.
Wow. It must be a gift certificate.
(Slightly anticipating)
Here you go.
Congratulations.
Please show the front.
We congratulate you for being the model of Knowing Bros Super Market.
You've worked really hard up to know.
So please work hard as a super model for the supermarket as well.
Well...I feel pretty crappy.
I wonder why I came here in the first place. I came all the way from Busan.
I'm speechless.
Awesome.
Well done, everyone.
I, designer Cherry, will see you at the 2018 Strongest Super Model Contest.
- Bye, everyone! - Bye!
(Reply Knowing Bros)
(There's an empty room at Ha-ra's Boarding House!)
(Seven men gathered after hearing the news.)
Why are you guys being noisy in front of my gate?
- That's Ha-Ara! - Did you guys all come to live at our boarding house?
- Yes. - Marry me, Ha-Ra.
What do I do, dad?
- I'm writing a novel called "Knowing Sis-in-law." - What?
- I'm preparing to get a job. - How old are you?
- 45. - And you still didn't get a job yet?
I'd rather hang myself than give my daughter to you!
- We're going to do test. - This house is complicated.
Sit properly. An adult is talking to you.
I need to risk my life to move in here!
(Starting from a candidate who parades his physical beauty)
- You're tired, right? - What are you doing?
How dare you! You wink at everyone!
Find it!
- Whatever. - You piece of trash!
Dad, he's weird!
(Push away)
How can you throw a person aside?
I was testing your personalities.
You shouldn't joke like that.
I did my best, so you shouldn't come out that way.
("Ask Us Anything"/Saturday 8:50 p.m./Don't miss it!)
(The greatest surprise transfer student Baek Yoon-sik!)
(Scared out of their wits)
- I just got goosebumps! - I got goosebumps!
Are you guys the rascals hanging around Ha-Ra?
- Yes, sir. - Yes.
You guys are dead.
(There's a fine line between variety shows and movies!)
