("We've Actually Never Been Married" begins now.)
- The high-end show, Radio Star. - Radio Star.
- Song Min Ho. - Our today's special MC is...
- Song Min Ho. - That's right.
(He's member of Winner)
(Exclaiming)
- These days... - You matched it to your hair color?
I matched my outfit to my hair color.
What's this on your ear?
- This is... - Does it not come off?
- fashion. - I see.
Min Ho, please tell us how you feel as a special MC.
I'll do my best to do this well.
Overzealousness isn't a good attribute for your position.
- But... Okay. - You can just empty your mind.
He probably doesn't know what "overzealousness" means.
- I know what it means. - What does it mean?
Empty your mind, and be enthusiastic and flexible.
(Song Idiot)
It's amazing how he came up with that without knowing the meaning.
- That's right. - Today,
we invited four stars who many people think are married...
or dating someone, but actually have been single for a long time.
Today's theme is "We've Actually Never Been Married".
- They've never been married. - Yes.
- None of them have been married. - That's unbelievable.
- Haven't they been married before? - No, they haven't.
They haven't gotten divorced like me and Gook Jin.
All right. Let us introduce our guests who are singles.
First, he's like Jang Dong Gun in morning dramas.
However, Dong Gun got married, but he's still single.
- He's never been married. - Right.
In his dramas, he got married, and cheated his wife.
But in reality, he knows nothing about dating and marriage.
He's a fool. Kim Byeong Se.
Kim Byeong Se.
He always plays a charismatic CEO, executive, or director in dramas,
but in reality, he can't even talk to the woman he likes.
He's a shy guy who can't talk to women,
and a typical timid man of blood type A.
The shy boy Kim Il Woo.
Shy, shy.
Hang on. Has he... Has he really never been married?
- Yes, he's never been married. - I see.
I feel like I see Seo Jang Hoon's future when I see him.
He's... How should I put it?
- He's great at organizing. - He's very neat.
Yes, very much so.
He's the middle-aged version of Park Bo Gum.
He makes middle-aged women's hearts flutter.
He's popular among women in their 50s.
His fan club members...
- His fans sent rice cakes for us. - sent us rice cakes and sikhye.
He has his own fan club when he's middle aged.
- He's amazing. - I love rice cake and sikhye.
He's the middle-aged version of Park Bo Gum.
His characters in his dramas made middle-aged people want romance,
but in real life, he can't seem to find his own romance.
Seung Soo DiCaprio, Kim Seung Soo.
Right.
(He prepares to read too late.)
Turn it over in advance.
I'm sorry.
- You should do it beforehand. - I understand.
He doesn't look like a lead actor,
but he writes the screenplay, plays, and directs his movies.
He's a film director and actor who is completely self-centered.
But it's okay. He's younger than the other guests.
The 43-year-old youngest guest, Yang Ik Joon.
Yang Ik Joon. Yes! Yang Ik Joon.
(Kim Byeong Se, Kim Il Woo, Kim Seung Soo, Yang Ik Joon)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
- You have to close the door. - Ik Joon, close the door.
You do it since you're the youngest.
2 of these 4 single men are older than me.
That's right. Two of them are older than us.
Seung Soo is one year younger than me.
It's nice to meet you all. Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Kim Byeong Se. I've never been married.
Please don't believe the rumors about me,
and believe me to the end.
- What are you talking about? - By the way,
- he's very handsome. - Indeed.
Because you're handsome, but still single,
- people think you're dating. - Do you mind revealing your age?
- Not at all. - You were born in 1962, right?
- I was born in 1962, Tiger year. - He was born in 1962.
- He's George Clooney of Korea. - Thank you.
Il Woo, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I got invited here only because I'm single.
I'm Kim Il Woo.
- Please go easy on me. - Okay.
- Yang Hee Kyung said... - When she was on our show,
- she said you wore her underwear. - That's right.
(Did you really lend your underwear to Il Woo?)
(Shall I...)
(Shall I lend you my panties?)
(When Il Woo borrowed her panties, he said,)
("Hee Kyung, it's too big.")
I think it would fit him.
- It was loose on me. - I see.
- Right. - These are your clothes, right?
Yes, these are all mine.
- He's dressing neatly. - He looks great.
- Il Woo looks best in white shoes. - That's right.
- White shoes? - Yes.
- He's always... - He's wearing white shoes now.
- Show us your shoes. - Around their age...
- He's a fashionista. - Show my shoes?
- Yes please. - Shall I help you?
- Do you want me to take it off? - No.
The two of them are singles...
- who know how to dress up nicely. - They're fashionable.
- Look at Byeong Se's shirt. - Right.
- Seung Soo, please say hello. - You look younger today.
(He laughs gladly.)
- He's younger than them. - I was the oldest guest last time.
- I remember that. - Today, I feel more comfortable.
Hello. I'm Kim Seung Soo.
I said that I was single several times,
but I'm still single.
I'm here to say this again.
I've never been married. I'm happy to be here.
Byeong Se and Il Woo...
almost gave up on dating someone, but Seung Soo is still...
trying to find someone for him.
However, it hasn't been going well so far.
Have you two given up?
- I mean, they're not very active. - They haven't given up.
- Through TV shows... - Do you even know me?
All I'm saying is that you two don't say how lonely you are...
- like Seung Soo often do. - Is that what you meant?
That's because I wasn't invited. I would've said it if I'd been here.
(Bursts out in anger)
Welcome, Yang Ik Joon.
- Please introduce yourself to us. - He's a director and also an actor.
- I'm Ik Joon, always the youngest. - Are you?
He's so cute. He's so mischievous.
- I've been single for 17 years. - I see.
But I don't think my situation is that bad compared to them.
So you are 43 years old.
- What year were you born in? 1974? - Born in 1975.
- Born in 1975. - That's nothing.
- A lot of them didn't get married. - That's true.
At least 70 percent of my friends...
are not married.
Even though you are young, the reason we invited you is...
because we don't think you can get married.
(Even in the future)
(Joking)
If we add up your ages, it's 201 in total.
It's 50.25 in average. How amazing!
I've heard some of you don't even know who Song Min Ho is.
I know him.
- Really? - Of course. He's Winner!
- Winner! - Thank you.
He knows Winner.
Did your manager find it out for you?
(Suspicious)
- I found it out by myself. - Oh, I see.
Winner is really popular these days anyway. I definitely know them.
Who doesn't know then? Is it Il Woo?
I know him. I saw him from another TV show.
- Really? - Yes.
Is it Seung Soo then?
- He knows. - I know.
I remember his first song.
I even downloaded that song and listen to it in my car.
- Really? - Everyone knows Winner.
- I like the song, "Color Ring". - Really?
Is it Ik Joon then?
- Hi, nice to meet you. - He's the one who doesn't know.
- Well, he's a film director. - Nice to meet you.
Is there any idol group you like?
S.E.S.
He's just a typical old man.
You and S.E.S members are almost in the same age.
(I love S.E.S.)
Kim Byeong Se was born in 1962 and Kim Il Woo was born in 1963.
Did you guys go through the menopausal symptoms?
What could it be?
- Il Woo will tell us. - What do you mean by that?
That's...
- What are the symptoms? - I've heard you can be depressed.
- You tear up really easily. - Yes, I heard that.
Your face gets flushed often.
- That sounds like me. - I heard that.
- I don't know about the menopausal. - Right.
But it's very different from before. I feel hot pretty easily.
- I'm emotionally up and down too. - You lash out at your manager.
I'm not cranky all the time. I'm nice but all of a sudden I'm not.
I suffer from bad mood swings.
And you just go off to somewhere.
I do.
- When did it start? - Isn't that menopause?
- I think he knows that term too. - I'm just...
It's been two years and I think it's not going away yet.
- It's been two years! - Yes.
Is it something that goes away?
It's still with me now.
(He's still going through it.)
Did it not happen to you yet, Byeong Se?
I'm fine now.
I feel no different from 10 years ago.
You are really healthy.
That's very relieving and I envy you.
Why is it happening to you already?
Do you tear up at night sometimes?
I mean, I have up and down mood swings.
My problem isn't always about having an emotion.
I sometimes don't feel anything.
I get spaced out often because I feel nothing.
And it goes on for an hour or two.
- Do you understand anything? - No.
Min Ho,
- you don't have to know though. - It's not necessary now.
- I see. - It's just your dad's story.
- Be nice to your dad. - You should be.
- When was your dad born in? - 1963.
- He's very young. - They are in the same age.
(Father and son)
He's in the same age with Il Woo.
I'm grateful that you've grown up well.
Thank you.
(Smiling like a dad)
When Byeong Se talked about his ideal type last time,
it was Kang Susie.
(Laughing)
- Was it? - Yes.
This is a very fateful day for you two.
(What a fate)
When did you say that?
- I'm happy to see you. - We are shaking hands.
(A bit confused)
Actually, it was when I was on the other show.
We were doing "Ideal Type World Cup".
- It was a long time ago. - And I chose her.
This person is my ideal type if I only think about her looks.
(He had to choose his ideal type among the other guests.)
(Kang Susie!)
(She was single then.)
I thought I could get some attention from her then.
But obviously, he got it.
- I'm jealous. - Don't be.
You said Susie was your ideal type,
and she wasn't seeing anyone then.
Did you try anything after that?
- No, I didn't. - You didn't.
It was just a show...
- He's staring at him too much. - Am I?
- Yes. - I should be looking at the guest.
(It was a long time ago.)
- You didn't try anyway. - No, I didn't.
People, who have been single for a long time, are not that active.
I think it changes as time goes by.
When I was in my 30s,
I used to hang out a lot with my friends.
They set me up with someone,
or things just work out while being in the group.
But when you become 50, you are all alone.
That makes everything more difficult.
I don't even have a route to meet someone.
People don't even think about introducing someone to me now.
It's all up to me now.
- But as you know, it's not easy. - It's hard.
I feel like I'm listening to a silver town conversation.
It might be a little exaggerated, but...
And...
I am not that passionate about it anymore.
I think about going for it,
- but my body wouldn't let me. - That's true.
- Byeong Se doesn't seem to agree. - I don't think so.
I have an opposite opinion.
I'm still very passionate about it.
- I just have less chance. - I see.
When people set me up with someone before,
I went out for having dinner with that person...
and spent nice time with her.
But it's difficult nowadays.
People know who I am. I don't want to give an impression...
to the other person that I'm taking away her time.
So I just can't do it anymore.
- It has become that way. - I see.
- You are just not passionate. - That's not it.
I want to find someone by myself. So I'm a passionate one.
- That's true. - He's right.
(I didn't give up.)
That's different.
- You are right. - You just don't want a blind date.
- That's right. - What about inviting someone...
- to where you are drinking? - That's the best way to do it.
- That sounds more natural. - You just call that person...
to where you are with friends. It's casual but works really well.
- Who wants to be the sidekicks? - It's a natural way to do it.
- Why not? They are his friends. - They can drink.
I like that idea. It's so natural.
- It sounds awesome. - But...
she will know...
as soon as she arrives.
- But... - It's not natural at all.
It's not like everyone has to act there.
It's just where you and your friends are hanging out.
- I've been to those before. - Yes?
But I always knew what's going on, and those girls always knew it too.
You just know why everyone's there.
(The purpose of the party is so obvious.)
- You've been edited out a lot. - Yes.
I've heard you ask the interviewer if your story is...
interesting enough or not after every answer.
I guess my story is just never good.
Maybe what I prepare isn't that fun.
I remember something.
He was on a show like, "Three Wheels".
- I was. - But the guests...
- were super talkative and active. - Who were they?
They were Lee Kyung Shil, Cho Hye Ryun, Kim Ji Sun,
- Im Ye Jin and Sunwoo Yong Nyeo. - That's right."
- They were doing really well. - That's true.
He was on the show then.
Kyung Shil didn't stop calling him like,
- "What a Byeong Se!" - That's right.
"What a Byeong Se!"
But as everyone knows, Il Woo is a bit shy.
When everyone was shouting like that,
- Il Woo was flustered. - That's true.
- Am I right? - You are right.
That doesn't make things easy.
I was acting as Im Ye Jin's...
- husband then. - Really?
She told me to be on the show together.
- She was wearing this weird wig. - I remember that.
She was doing this "Coresper".
Costume play?
- That's the name. - Yes, you didn't say it right.
It's called cosplay.
- I'm confused. - It's okay.
(Just thinking about it made him confused.)
- She was wearing a weird wig. - She was.
- She was enjoying it. - She said it was really fun.
Cho Hyung Gi told me to trust him and follow his lead.
I had to dance with Brown Eyed Girls.
- Was it "Abracadabra"? - Yes, it was.
They also wanted me to voice impressions of others.
So I did something like, "Would you like a bowl?"
- He tried really hard. - You are good at it.
- I just couldn't sleep that night. - That's sad.
At the time, we thought that it will be funnier...
- Was it on the show a lot though? - that way.
It wasn't.
(It was all edited out.)
- You were here two years ago. - Yes, I was.
Was there any change in your life after the relationship talk?
Nothing much.
I was seeing someone shortly.
But it didn't go on for a long time.
As Old Park Bo Gum,
- your fans prepared some food. - Is that what your fan club did?
What if your fans are...
secretly against you getting married?
They told me honestly about it when we were drinking.
They do want it.
- Do they? - Yes, they do.
- "You should get married." - Is that what they want now?
- "You can go now." - Yes, that's what they say.
- He might be a bit similar to me. - Really?
- I'm so gullible. - I see.
Other people's opinions sound often convincing to me.
I think he might be someone...
who considers others' opinion even when he's thinking about...
seeing someone.
Gullible people are weird.
- They can't decide anything. - That's true.
They hesitate a lot but they can't decide things either.
I just think too much.
You must be indecisive.
It's also difficult for me...
to have romantic feelings for someone...
in a short time period.
I need to know that person for a while.
I should feel comfortable around that person.
- If not, things don't work out. - What's your blood type?
It's type B.
(High five)
Is it something you need to do that?
I said we are similar.
(I'm type B too.)
From what I've seen,
I can tell Seung Soo is really well organized.
- He's a bit like a perfectionist. - That sounds like you.
We are all similar.
Byeong Se thinks he's similar to himself.
- But I think he's similar to me. - It seems...
It seems to us all the three of you are similar to each other.
(They are similar to each other.)
I prepared a few questions that the viewers want to know...
about the guests.
This is the first board.
Okay. Here comes the first board. All right.
(The first question is about Il Woo.)
- It's about Il Woo. - Yes. What's the question?
"Dear Il Woo,"
"Your profile on the internet says you're 181cm tall. Is that true?"
Yes, that's true.
"To be honest, you don't seem that tall."
"In 'Something Happened in Bali',"
"you looked 6cm shorter than Zo In Sung."
"I heard In Sung is 186cm tall."
"Are you really 181cm tall?" This is the question.
What does that mean? Only 1cm...
Does it mean that I lied when I'm actually 180cm tall?
- No, that's not what it means. - No.
- It means you look a bit shorter. - "Are you really 181cm tall?"
Yes, it's true.
How tall are you? You're about 182cm tall, right?
No, I'm 179cm tall.
- That can't be. - Please stand up.
- I'm not that tall. - I'm sure you're taller than me.
- Il Woo is taller than him. - That's right.
- Il Woo is taller than him. - He's taller than me.
But...
Aren't you two very tall considering your ages?
- I'm 170cm tall. - I see.
- Right. - Seung Soo is tall too.
- He's the tallest among us. - I'm a bit over 181cm.
- Please stand up. - He's very tall.
- He's the tallest among us. - The three of them are very tall.
(They're about the same height.)
- Aren't I right? - Yes.
- They're tall and handsome. - Exactly.
- Why haven't they gotten married? - That's what I'm saying.
(Why haven't they gotten married?)
In Sung and So Ji Sub starred in "Something Happened in Bali".
- So Ji Sub. - They are very tall.
They were the first actors who spread their legs to look shorter...
- to film a two shot with me. - To look 6cm shorter than they are.
- In Sung is very tall. - Right.
- I played In Sung's elder brother. - I see.
How did you get a role of his elder brother?
- How did you film two shots? - How did you do it with In Sung?
- I looked like a cicada on a tree. - You played his elder brother.
(He held In Sung tightly like a cicada hanging on a tree.)
(He's much shorter than his younger brother.)
- We confirmed he's really 181cm. - All right.
- Let's move on. - Okay.
Let's see the next question.
"I have a question for Seung Soo."
"Please show me the original scene of this image."
"This is an image from the webtoon, 'Love Revolution'."
"Please show me the original image."
So I prepared it.
- Should I take this off first? - Oh, no. I know what it is now.
- Let's take a look. - We have the photos.
"It's a scene from the drama, 'Just Love'."
This is an image from the webtoon, "Love Revolution".
It's a parody of my scene in the drama.
The webtoon artist captured the scene where I overact.
Let's compare this to the original scene from the drama.
I saw this image too.
- Did you? - 1, 2, 3.
The webtoon character's face is drawn similarly to his.
It looks like he's doing a magic trick.
The webtoon artist must've been impressed by that scene.
- She was inspired by that scene. - That's right.
- Did something make you that angry? - This...
I'm not angry.
I'm startled while watching a horror movie.
I see. You're startled.
However,
the meme of you looking like a beggar is also famous.
- Is there a meme like that? - Yes, there is.
This is driving me crazy.
- Gosh. - He created many impressive scenes.
I'm so embarrassed.
(The best scene of his life)
- Look at his makeup. - That's not realistic.
- What kind of beggar is that plump? - Exactly.
Look at this photo. He has chubby cheeks, right?
- He only has dark circles. - He still looks handsome.
- He's a handsome beggar. - I thought...
it was a scene from "Death Note".
(They both have dark circles.)
- It was a drama on KBS. - I see.
Lee Bo Young played my girlfriend.
Because my parents disapproved of our relationship,
I became a total wreck. Then I met her again.
We hugged each other being overwhelmed.
- I had to look like a mess. - That's the intention.
However, there was a reason why I looked like that.
We had to film that scene at the beach during sunset,
but we were running out of time.
The director asked to finish my makeup quickly.
I had no idea that they made me look that bad.
They didn't even let me check the mirror. They did it in a rush.
Both the director and the cameraman...
- focused only on the sunset. - They focused on that.
"Hurry. We have to film it before the sun sets." That's what happened.
The director didn't care how I looked.
- You look great in the last photo. - You also...
look a bit like a Chinese vampire.
(His makeup is as good as Halloween makeup.)
- Let's move on. - It's a question about Ik Joon.
"Find out what movie this is. The lead actor was the director,"
"and a high school girl appears. It's an unknown movie."
"The lead actor is ugly,"
"and he plays a punk and hoodlum."
"A high school girl appears, and the director plays the lead role."
"I thought the title had 'Mutt' or 'Wild Dog' in it, but it didn't."
- It's "Breathless". - The Korean title is "Dung Fly".
That's why many people...
call me Director Yang Joon Ik of "Mutt Boy".
They were confused with me and Director Lee Joon Ik.
- Kim Kkot Bi played the teenager. - That's correct.
There's a scene we filmed in a market.
Kkot Bi was wearing a school uniform,
and I was dressed like a hoodlum.
While we were walking around in Namdaemun Market,
a lot of people looked at me with suspicious eyes.
My hair was very short, and I was acting like a hoodlum.
- Did they think you were a hoodlum? - Yes.
- Some ladies glared at me. - I understand.
When I watched the movie, I had no information on it.
I thought they had cast an actual hoodlum.
- I was sure that he wasn't acting. - Me too.
Even some actors thought...
that they convinced an actual gangster...
- They cast an actual gangster. - to play in the movie.
- His performance was natural. - "Since it was a low-budget film,"
- "they must've cast a gangster." - Right. An actual gangster.
"That gangster has good acting skills."
Min Ho, have you watched "Breathless"?
I only watched a video clip.
- A clip of "Breathless"? - Yes, a scene from the movie.
- A clip of the movie. - I watched a clip.
He says harsh swear words in the movie.
I saw this scene where a few students walk behind him,
and he swears at them harshly.
(Min Ho tries to read their faces.)
- I thought he was a real gangster. - I see.
(I don't harm anyone.)
(The impression still lingers.)
You are watching a high-end music program,
Radio Star with four stars who have never been married.
Today's topic for the talk is...
"We've Actually Never Been Married". Let's begin.
The average period of the time they were single between relationships...
My goodness. It's 11 years and 2 months.
If 11 years and 2 months is the average period,
one of you must have been single longer than that.
One of them must have been single for about 20 years,
and one has been single about five years.
That's right. Another person has been single for seven years.
We'll only reveal the average.
- Why am I feeling anxious? - If we...
(He's anxious and thirsty for no reason.)
I bet you met some women, but it didn't work out for you.
- I haven't met anyone recently. - Is that right?
- Yes. - For how long?
It's been about 10 years since I last met someone for a while.
- That long? - Sometimes I get calls.
Someone asked me that there was good news about me.
- So I said... - I heard that rumor too.
So I said...
that I just met some women.
If there's a change in my love life...
To me, it sounds like you have a girlfriend.
I just went on a few dates.
I met several different women.
It's not that I two-timed someone.
My friend asked me to come out, and I met someone there.
There's nothing wrong with going on dates since I'm single, right?
- But he... - So you're seeing someone, right?
No, I've been meeting several women.
The news article will say, "Gu Ra is not alone."
It's not like that.
You're saying that you're not in a relationship, right?
There could be someone you're trying to start dating.
No, I meet them as friends.
- I got their phone numbers. - So you haven't fallen in love.
I'm just meeting several women.
There's nothing wrong with that.
- Isn't it normal for a single man? - Gu Ra...
opened up the possibility of finding love.
- That's what he should do. - Isn't it normal for a single man?
- It's because... - That's a good strategy.
he'd be criticized if he said he wasn't seeing anyone.
Why do you call this a strategy?
If the women you met are watching this,
they'd think they were just women he met once.
- They might think this way. - It's not that.
I might be the same to them.
They'd call you and say, "Hi. I'm one of women."
What are you talking about? That's ridiculous.
(Jong Shin made a pun.)
- I just date women casually. - Right.
- You opened up the possibility. - Yes.
I haven't been seeing anyone.
- Really? - I haven't been seeing anyone.
- From a biological point of view... - Me neither.
I can't meet anyone because...
there's no female member in the clubs I'm in.
In the hiking club,
the cycling club, and the soccer club,
- there's no female member. - I see.
I don't have any chance to meet women.
- It's been like this for 10 years. - Really?
- Is that true? - Yes.
- He's truly single. - I admit it.
- He has a pure heart. - I can see that.
I told you it was true.
- I understand Gu Ra's feelings. - Right?
You can meet someone with some other people,
but then you can meet someone else in another occasion.
I fully understand Gu Ra.
- Exactly. - Hang on.
Then did you date many women?
What exactly do you mean by dating?
Exactly. I mentioned that before.
- Is it a serious relationship... - Right.
on the premise that we'll get married?
- Including casual relationships. - "Dating" is a vague expression.
Can you tell us the definition of casual relationship?
I have my own definition of it.
It depends on individuals.
"Dating" is a broad word.
- That's right. - It's also a strong word.
Il Woo, did you date anyone without considering marrying her?
Well, I've been meeting several women.
See? I told you so.
- He's just clueless. - I didn't know that.
He's just so clueless.
From the perspective of Min Ho's generation,
- a fling isn't the same as dating. - That doesn't count as dating.
- That's not dating. - That's right.
- There's a fling too. - A fling.
- Like you have a crush on... - A man and a woman...
- who haven't started dating, right? - Before they start dating?
- They just hold hands, - Making light physical contact?
- and make light physical contact. - Before dating.
(So that's what it meant.)
My gosh.
I'd be in trouble if I consider those as relationships.
As Byeong Se before,
he hasn't dated anyone for a long time.
The rumor says he hasn't dated anyone for about 20 years.
About 20 years. It's really been 20 years.
Really?
Did people use a beeper when you last dated a woman?
Was your last relationship when people used a beeper?
- There's was "M" brand phone too. - Right.
People used a beeper or "M" brand mobile phone back then.
"I got paged."
Speaking of beepers, something came to my mind.
The last time I dated a woman,
I remember that I bought a beeper for her.
(His last love affair ended in the last century.)
What does a beeper have to do with this?
That's how long it's been.
What about you, Seung Soo?
I think it's been about six years.
However, just as Gu Ra said before,
- I ask a woman for her number. - Then it's okay.
- Then it's okay. - After that,
I ask her if I can see her again with the other people.
So I met some women, but...
- That's fine. - Except that...
How's your love life going?
I meet a lot of people by socializing.
I like to keep my options open and socialize.
- That's what I prefer. - But...
I didn't have any physical contacts.
Then it doesn't count as dating.
Wait. Why would you say that? Are you a dating judge or something?
Why would you think that?
No, everyone knows that...
when you date, there must be physical contacts. I mean...
- that's usually the case. - Gook Jin is funny.
Before he started dating Susie,
he socialized and met a lot of women.
Now that he has a solid girlfriend, he has all sorts of these ideas.
- Think of your singles days. - Exactly.
(Gook Jin is crazy about Susie.)
This came up on the show I hosted.
Chae Yeon appeared on the show Gook Jin and I hosted.
- Chae Yeon was on the show. - She was willing to date you there.
Chae Yeon is nice.
- She was really interested in you. - She meant it.
- We were on the show. - Yes.
She's nice.
I guess some reporters printed about that.
My friend called me and mentioned the article.
That's how I found out about that.
I didn't get to watch the show myself though.
It sounds like she's not his type. I can understand that.
If she were his type, he would have looked her up.
He would have been excited and look her up.
- Since he didn't... - You won't be married anytime soon.
Since we are talking about type, what's your ideal type?
When I was young, I liked stylish and beautiful ladies,
but after I got older,
- I like calm, feminine ladies more. - Someone who's calm.
I think I'd prefer someone like that.
You know that your standards are getting higher, right?
Yes, that's true.
(There's no hope anyway.)
(Laughing)
Seung Soo, you are impatient,
but when it comes to dating, you take things slow.
How fast should things move according to your standard?
Usually, I like to do things quickly.
When it comes to work, I get things do pretty quickly,
but when it comes to relationship, it don't progress quickly.
I tend to take things slow.
I did hear a few times from my former girlfriends...
that I take things way too slow.
When I had my last girlfriend six years ago,
it took me about six months for me to hold her hands.
- It took about that much time. - My gosh.
Then does your relationship begin when you start getting physical?
I sort of think so.
So you're hesitant to officially start dating someone, aren't you?
I would causally put my arm around her and so on.
- But for me to really touch her... - I see.
- like this and comfortably, - It takes a while until that point.
it does take me about six months.
I can't believe she actually waited for six months.
- She did mention it though. - When you're dating...
- You'd know if you waited. - It took them six months to kiss?
You were dating, but it took them six months to kiss.
But once things start rolling,
- we go all the way pretty quickly. - Things move on quickly afterward.
- It goes like the dam is broken. - It takes time to start.
- The dam is broken. - I think so.
So this is what you do, right?
"I waited so long for this."
- Hey, Min Ho. - Right.
- You can't understand it, can you? - That's nice.
- He waited for so long. - No.
It's a known fact these days, young people kiss when they start dating.
- They start backward. - Backward?
- They go backward. - What are you talking about?
- Sorry? - Explain that.
- How could they start backward? - Some people do that.
- They don't hold hands at first? - Do they hold hands at the end?
- Some people start from the end. - Backward? I see.
- Exactly. - Things move really quickly.
For six months,
his girlfriend must have thought of the possibility.
Or she would have thought...
since he doesn't hold hands while putting his arm around me,
he must have...
- obsession with hands... - Hand fetish?
Or does he have a shoulder fetish?
(Their relationship begins after 6 months.)
- This is possible. - Or on the other hands,
there must have been ladies who wanted to move things quickly.
- Yes, there were. - Say she kissed you out of nowhere.
Then is that a turn-off for you?
- Seung Soo would have waited. - That does...
make me feel slightly uncomfortable after the kiss.
But you'd let her kiss you though.
I wouldn't push her away or anything.
- I wouldn't turn her down. - But you'd remember that.
In my opinion, when that happens,
it doesn't have help my relationship.
He's picky. Gosh, he's picky.
- Wait. - Even Byeong Se was picky.
(For them, dating requires patience and strength.)
Some people actually complained that they'd been waiting for too long.
They asked me why I was being overly cautious.
They would ask why I waited for so long, but then they'd say,
"How did you hold back if you couldn't stop after holding hands?"
They'd say that to me.
One time, I kissed a girl with liquid courage.
She was my first girlfriend.
I guess that probably happened about three decades ago.
That's probably when Korea was the Fifth Republic given the timeline.
In my opinion, it's probably before that.
(This love story was passed down by word of mouth.)
The average length of the gap in your love life was quite long,
but the average number of love scandals was only one.
- That's the average number. - Of our love scandals?
Scandals mean when articles say you and a celebrity are dating.
Seung Soo, weren't you in a scandal?
There were a few times.
- Did I raise the average number? - Yes.
I'm envious.
(Feeling bitter)
- Byeong Se, you were never in one? - I get it though.
- None. - Really?
- You were never in a scandal? - I never had a love scandal.
- That's surprising. - You don't socialize with ladies?
- No. - And you were never in a scandal.
- No. - With your looks?
Could it be he dated when Internet didn't take off?
- Could it be the reason? - That's feasible.
So Byeong Se lowered the average.
- Right. - He had none. Seung Soo raised it.
In a way, this can be perceived he's good at handling his reputation.
I hope I wouldn't handle my reputation in that respect.
- Or he dated who was not famous. - That's right. So...
At our age, those aren't scandals. How could they be scandals?
They are occasions to celebrate.
(Congratulations! Byeong Se is in a love scandal.)
Surprisingly, Ik Joon was in a scandal.
- It was with Ryu Hyun Kyung. - That's right.
- She released a rebuttal article, - She did.
- but you didn't release one. - She said it's completely not true.
I questioned if there was any need for me to do so.
It's better to just disregard it.
She sounded very firm in her rebuttal article.
Thanks to her, I got famous for a short period of time.
- Did it say you two were dating? - Yes.
We worked on a film together. We went to Japan with our crew.
- Directors and actors talk... - They often talk.
- before the shoot. - That's true.
- They even have meals together. - That's probably what caused it.
- I figure that had to do with it. - That stirred up the scandal.
It's because directors and actors sometimes end up dating each other.
- That's true. - Actually, I was interested in her.
I would hire actors and actresses I like.
- Everyone probably does that. - Right.
I would hire actors and actresses I find appealing.
So is Ryu Hyun Kyung your type?
Yes, her and other actresses as well.
(He's one witty guy.)
(I love that word.)
Ik Joon.
During the interview, you were grateful for winning many awards,
but you weren't ecstatic about those awards.
You said you'd be happier if you were to have a girlfriend.
To be honest,
I already feel like I won the awards during the process of shooting...
because I have so much fun when I make movies.
I probably said it because at the time, I was single.
For some reason, I tend to make bold comments in front of the press.
Usually, I'm very shy,
but I'm bold in front of reporters. Some people are like that.
I feel like a hip hop artist in that sense.
That's what hip hop is all about.
(Min Ho says, "That's what hip hop is all about.")
(It's real, man.)
After you directed "Breathless", I thought...
he would director more films, but he didn't.
Actually, you've been acting.
When I act, all I need to think about is...
my character.
It's not distracting because I only think about one thing,
so it's not complicated.
I tried directing a 40-minute long film,
but I wasn't capable.
I had to communicate with 60 or 70 people at once.
My brain couldn't keep up with the work load.
A long time ago, there was a research done in the States.
The second-ranked occupation that makes decisions the most is...
- Was it a director? - It was a director.
- The first place was the president. - Directors came after presidents.
In the short amount of time...
That's unique. Occupations that have to make decisions the most.
The job is really hectic. They ask about every little detail.
"Should I use the cup? Should I use plastic or glass?"
- They ask about everything. - You can't tell them to pick one.
- I guess not. - No, that's the director's job.
Art and lighting director have to run everything by you first.
- So I... - It's the fun of being a director.
- But responsibility comes with it. - Isn't it true though?
It's fun. It's fun when I have the energy to do my job.
Indecisive people shouldn't become directors.
(Is he feeling guilty?)
But aren't you directing a film?
- Yes, yes. - You're directing one.
You're directing a short film.
- You'll direct the film? - His team brought us coffee.
I thought he was acting in it.
When someone gives you free stuff, you must know where it came from.
- I always ask what it is for. - He makes sure he mentions it.
I asked from whose team it was from,
and I learned it was from your PR team.
When I heard it, I figured he was directing a film.
I have a lot of projects going. It was from "The Poet and the Boy".
I starred in a film that will release soon.
It was from that film's PR team.
- You had the leading role. - He played the main character.
I started playing leading roles since last year.
What I was surprised about Gu Ra was that...
he always asks whose team provided the coffee.
- Of course. I ought to. - "Who's providing this?"
"It's from Ik Joon's film crew."
He'd ask the name of the film and get the title.
- Of course. It's only fair. - I...
- I get support from some teams. - He asks about investment too.
- His question annoyed her. - I should ask about it.
- No, it didn't. - She thought, "Drink your coffee."
I asked those questions...
- since we are in the same business. - He asked so many questions.
- Look. - When Seung Soo brought rice cake,
I asked who brought this and learned his fan club provided it.
Then I thought to myself I should mention it later.
He's precise.
When we're shooting dramas or films, our acquaintances bring us food.
When they do, most of the people just eat the food...
without knowing who provided it.
- That's not right. - Whoever bought it would feel sad.
- Exactly. Once in two years, - Gu Ra is really exact,
I star in Japanese films.
In Japan, say someone buys bread that costs like five dollars.
They would say, "Mr. Yang Ik Joon bought..."
"bread that costs about five dollars from a bakery."
"Why don't we thank him with a round of applause?"
They would show their gratitude for bringing in food.
- I thought it was so nice. - That's amazing.
That's great.
We have to plaster a huge photo on meal or coffee trucks in Korea...
- to inform who it's from. - Exactly.
That's so different.
- Il Woo. - Yes.
- You're seen in a sketchy hotel... - Sketchy hotel?
drinking coffee quite often.
What kind of a hotel is sketchy?
Were you socializing with women?
I bet the lighting at the hotel is bad.
- It's about a sketchy hotel? - A sketchy hotel.
The word choice, "sketchy" might give the wrong idea.
My friend runs a boutique hotel.
- There are so many of them now. - Right.
- It was a boutique hotel. - It was in downtown, Jeju Island.
I was just having some coffee.
I think a group of guys was just passing by.
Some of them recognized me...
and asked who I was, but one of the guy said,
"Pretend you didn't see him."
"I think he came here in secret. Pretend you didn't see him."
"Don't say hi. You're going to fluster him if you do."
"Let's just go."
In our culture, we tend to perceive some things negative albeit small.
- That's true. - Place holds importance.
Being photographed at certain places give wrong ideas to some people.
One time, I couldn't find a parking spot.
- I was looking for a spot. - People often park at hotels.
You know how at the entrance,
- there's a plastic wrap? - Yes, there is.
I saw a parking spot inside that parking lot,
so I parked my car there.
I was getting out of the lot, and that felt so weird.
(I only parked my car, but it was a strange feeling.)
Il Woo, I heard you have a specific goal regarding your marriage.
Hopefully, I'll get married one day,
and I want to get married because I believe in marriage.
I just hope that I could get married before my 60th birthday.
- Times have changed now. - Of course.
- People at 60 look so young. - They do indeed.
- They don't throw parties now. - They don't.
- They go on trips to celebrate. - That's true.
- You need someone to travel with. - Exactly.
You only have 5 years left until you're 60.
(He gives Il Woo a reality check.)
Seung Soo, you publicly accepted proposals from women.
I heard that you got more than 800 emails.
(Everyone's eyes are on him.)
- You publicly accepted them? - Yes.
He received proposals via email.
After the drama I worked on ended,
I was having an interview...
with reporters in the office at my agency.
- Since I'm old, they always ask... - I bet.
about dating and marriage, so they asked about it.
I told them it's harder to meet women...
and that it puts me in a difficult situation to date.
During the interview, they suggested publicly looking for a lady to date.
After hearing it, I asked if I were to proceed with it,
how I would go about executing my goal.
The reporters mentioned I could receive emails from ladies,
so I told them I did have a public email where people can reach me at.
And my public email made it to the article.
The reporter said that I was looking for someone to date.
("Interested Party Must Email Him")
2 or 3 minutes after the article got posted,
I kept getting notifications for new emails.
On the same night of the article, I received about 300 emails.
I read the very first 4 or 5 emails.
After those emails, I got scared.
- I couldn't read them for a while. - This must have made you think.
It did. When I checked my inbox after a month and a half,
I received about 800 emails.
I thought I had to do something given how things got escalated.
- It'd seem I was playing. - You'd look like a flake.
Right. After a month and a half,
- I spent 2 days to read 800 emails. - You read them all.
- I answered every single email. - I see.
I thanked them for attention and the email I was given.
I wrote that it would be wrong of me to read those emails...
and select one person to answer back.
- Good job. - I wrote that I was sorry.
After I answered all the letters, some people read the article later.
- Did you get more emails? - More?
- That's the aftershock of it. - More emails?
I received another 350 emails until now.
I see. You must pick a date and answer all those emails again.
Make an announcement today. Tell them not to send emails.
- You can do it here. - By the way,
there wasn't someone you were attracted to though?
If I'm being completely honest with you, there was someone.
- There was. - Yes.
- When you read the emails? - In the email...
I read all of the emails,
but some of the people provided me a lot of details in the emails.
- They attached their photos. - Photos.
They wrote a cover letter like they were applying for jobs.
Some of them even included their finance details.
(Even their finance details?)
They literally gave me everything.
- I also got their phone numbers. - My gosh.
Everything was in the email.
- I thought that I should... - With all the details?
take care of my own business. I was tempted to go for it.
Truth be told, I did think about making a move.
- You thought about calling them. - Right.
Since I have the phone number, I contemplated to text.
"Congratulations. You have passed the first round."
(You've passed the 1st round.)
"Yes! I passed."
(You've passed the 1st round.)
"You'll have an interview at a cafe for the second round."
You should send them like official acceptance letters.
But some of them made me feel so comfortable.
This one lady told me where she would be...
at a certain time for her work.
- She encouraged you. - She wanted me to take a look.
- I bet she worked at a bank. - She just wanted me to see her.
- She's really considerate. - I agree.
- You should've seen her. - Some work at banks and pharmacies.
- Well, they were... - Of course.
The ladies he just mentioned must have passed the first round.
- Those ones passed it. - I didn't tell them how I felt.
Some might think, "Is he talking about me?"
(I'm certain he's talking about me.)
- Would you do something similar? - I don't think so.
Instead of going public,
I'd want to spread the word to my acquaintances.
- Through mutual friends? - If that's what it takes...
I don't think that's a bad idea.
- That's not a bad approach. - Right.
Recently, a lot of my friends want to introduce people to me.
- Is that your way of socializing? - No, it's through mutual friends.
Through mutual friends.
Meeting through mutual friends and socializing is different?
- I take charge when socializing. - You wouldn't know them.
- Meeting through mutual friends... - You socialize on your own will.
- requires introductions. - People introduce you to them.
If that's the case, your whole calendar must be booked.
(No, that's not true.)
- That's not true. - He has so many ways to meet women.
- I see. - Expressions vary a lot in Korean.
(Feeling proud)
Seung Soo, you always visit the places before your date...
and buy three tickets when you watch movies.
- You're making me sad. - For a seat between you and her?
When I went to the movies once, my girlfriend sat next to me,
and I felt that when a stranger sat next to her, she was uneasy.
- Your girlfriend was uneasy. - She was uncomfortable.
- You're one considerate guy. - I could see she was uneasy.
So I thought that it'd be nice if no one sat next to her.
That's why I bought three tickets.
(He did it to comfort her.)
- That's sweet of you. - How do you prepare for your dates?
I wasn't sure if the reviews online would be true,
and the food would be good enough for our date.
I would go to the restaurant before our dates to feel the vibe...
and eat at the restaurant.
I think it'd be great to know which dishes to recommend.
(He's a considerate romantic.)
- You did that for your girlfriend. - If only the lady found it sweet.
Your preparation is amazing.
He does everything except for holding hands.
You prepare everything in advance.
This perfect gentleman wouldn't get physical for six months.
- How hard the girls must've been. - You're between awesome and odd.
Were there any ladies who felt uneasy with your preparation?
Yes, there were. When I had to look up something,
there were times I was online late at night.
The next day, I was exhausted for our date.
That's going too far.
- Right. - He just drew a line between them.
He doesn't want to be grouped together with Seung Soo.
- That's too much. - He's not as bad as Seung Soo.
This is common among these four.
All of them tend to be so detail-oriented in some areas.
- Il Woo. - Your ideal type is Im Ye Jin.
- She's pretty. - My...
ideal type is Olivia Hussey among foreign celebrities.
- Among Koreans, it's Ye Jin. - That's your ideal type.
- Olivia Hussey. - I was a big fan of her.
- You were a big fan. - Yes.
You have a thing for people like Eugene in S.E.S.
- That's my type. - I see.
I like Olivia Newton John.
- That's not his type. No. - She's a bit different.
- And then... - She's not his type.
- No, she's my ideal type. - Is that so? Okay.
I played the husband of the actress...
who was my idea type.
Imagine how nervous and excited I must have been.
My ideal type in middle school was Lee Bo Hee.
- Among my peers, she was... - Right.
the queen. To be honest...
- Hey, Min Ho. - Yes?
- You'll be old soon. - I apologize.
- We're talking about ideal types. - It's hard for him to join us.
Pretend this is about your dad.
- All I can think about is my dad. - Keep thinking about your dad.
I bet this show is going to be really funny 20 years later.
This is probably what your dad talks about with friends.
- This is about your dad's times. - I got it. Okay.
- I bet your dad has a blast. - Of course. Don't you worry.
I think my dad is really going to like this week's episode.
- Byeong Se. - Yes?
- Il Woo. - I see.
- Ik Joon. - He's calling the attendance.
I heard that you guys are professional cleaners.
I wouldn't say I'm a professional.
I can do as much as other people can do.
I don't like seeing hair on the floor.
I hate when my bathroom gets moldy.
And as for my closet,
I check if the plastic covers are neatly organized.
- My gosh. - Seriously?
- Have you seen Seo Jang Hoon? - Yes.
- Are you obsessed as much as him? - I wouldn't say that.
- Grade yourself from 1 to 100. - I'd give myself about 75 points.
- That's not a low number. - That's impressive.
- After you get married... - What about you, Il Woo?
Especially for bachelors who live alone,
we must be careful of the scent such as the laundry...
- and blanket. - That's true.
I usually have air fresheners and diffusers...
- at my house. - I see.
I don't like artificial fragrance. I hope you don't tease me with this.
When I walk into my home...
You know the scent of chlorine bleach...
- or disinfectant? - Yes.
- I like its smell when I get home. - You like it that much?
- He likes the hospital smell. - Right.
The smell of the ER.
That you must love the pool.
(The pool is full of the smell of chlorine bleach.)
A little while ago, I was brushing my teeth.
I noticed that the plastic handle of my toothbrush got moldy.
- How often do you change it? - How often?
- How often? - When do you do change it?
I change it every 2 or 3 months.
- 2 or 3 months? - The bristles must be ruined.
They are not that bad. I don't brush them too hard.
- They wouldn't clean your teeth. - I don't press them hard.
When I saw how it got moldy, I was sad.
- It's better to change them often. - Right.
- Once every two weeks is good. - Sure.
- You should change it often. - Once every two weeks?
You should change it when the bristles aren't taut.
Ik Joon, you seemed surprised.
- I use it for 4 or 5 months. - You and I are similar.
- You'll see the tip is moldy. - The bristles would look like this.
(If you use it for that long, the bristles would look like this.)
Ik Joon, why do you like cleaning?
Since I'm a film director,
I have a lot of props and materials at my house for films.
They are usually all over the place.
So I have to clean my house at least 4 or 5 times a week.
I'm like a grandmother.
You know how they'd cut towels and use them as rags?
Didn't you live with your grandmother when you were young?
I lived with my grandparents for 27 years until they passed away.
- He lived with his grandmother. - She practically raised you.
After I wipe the floor, there's hair on the rag.
I like taking off the hair on the rag in the bathroom.
(Giggling)
- I'm sorry. - I bet she combed your hair.
She did, and she would find nits in my hair.
You just mentioned nits.
(Did he mean, "lime"?)
Do you know what a nit is?
A nit?
- It's an oyster. - What?
- Oyster? - It's not an oyster.
A nit is something entirely different.
A nit is the egg of a head louse.
You don't go to a cart bar and say, "Please give me nits."
(That would be a disaster.)
(These words are hard.)
When you clean up,
don't you feel calm?
The act of cleaning gives you inner peace.
You feel satisfaction when you are done.
You feel great when the house is clean.
After you take a shower,
you feel like you are in your world.
If I hold the mop to clean up a spot,
I end up mopping the entire house.
I find myself mopping the places I hadn't planned to mop.
You shouldn't think of it as a chore,
but a part of your life.
Do you obsess over the unpleasant smell of your towels?
Why would your towels smell unpleasant?
- They smell like fabric softener. - When you leave the towels...
in the washing machine for a while,
- they smell unpleasant. - That's right.
People who live alone have that experience.
Towels smell a bit when they are dried...
- in rainy days. - It happens in the house.
I am a towel enthusiast.
I always carry a towel.
Oh Hyeon Gyeong once smelled my towel and said...
that it's too dirty.
She said that it smells bad.
Her words hurt not only me,
but also the housekeeper at my place.
Tell her to use a fabric softener.
"Do the towels smell bad? I am so sorry."
You should wash your towels with laundry detergent and water.
You shouldn't use a fabric softener on towels and duvets.
- They touch your face. - That's right.
Really?
You must have lived alone for a long time.
- He is knowledgeable. - Don't hang them up.
It's better to use a dryer.
He is an expert.
- Towels can smell bad. - It raises the electricity bill.
(Don't you know this?)
He is very knowledgeable.
I have a question.
In the restroom,
do you pee standing up or sitting down?
- It depends on the mood. - I see.
- My wife wants me to sit down. - How do you do it?
- I pee sitting down. - Me too.
- You want to avoid the splashes. - Yes.
I need to clean the toilet.
No one else will do it for me.
When you pee sitting down, there is no residual urine.
- I pee sitting down at home. - Residual urine.
Do you pee sitting down at home?
At home, yes.
When you live alone,
you do everything you can to minimize the mess.
- When men pee, urine splashes. - That's right.
It leads to unpleasant smell in the bathroom.
What is it, Min Ho?
- What is it? - I was imagining it.
Think of them as your father.
Ask your father. I am sure he pees sitting down.
I am sure he pees sitting down.
(Have a short bathroom break before you watch Part 2.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the four single men you thought were married.
The guests of the day...
have young looks despite their age.
How do you take care of your looks?
They have different know-how.
After the shoot,
I go home and wash myself clean.
If I don't have a shoot for two consecutive days...
- Do you sleep? - I don't wash my face.
- That's your secret. - I leave my face as it is.
I don't slather on lotion or go to a dermatologist.
It occurred to me that leaving the skin alone would be better.
- It's working out great so far. - He looks the youngest for his age.
To look young, you need to have a lot of hair.
He has a lot of hair.
- I haven't suffered from hair loss. - You have a lot of hair.
The same goes for the two of you.
- The same goes for the two of you. - You have a lot of hair.
I fear that the camera will zoom in on me.
(I don't want it to zoom in on me.)
Tell us. The camera won't zoom in on you.
You shouldn't zoom in on someone my age.
So that's Seung Soo's secret.
Byeong Se, you use a very unique method.
I heard that you work out.
I hike, play soccer, cycle, and run.
- You exercise your lower body. - Yes, I do.
- I work out a lot. - You do all the right exercises.
I bet the energy travels up.
- Sometimes, I can't contain it. - I bet.
Sometimes, I can't contain it. It happens...
- when you have strong thighs. - That's right.
That's how I have my naturally young looks...
without any special methods.
The used... That came out wrong.
What did you use? I have no idea.
The unused libido does wonders to my face.
- That's what I think. - The pent-up energy...
- traveled to your face. - That's what I think.
- It makes your skin soft. - That's right.
You are optimistic.
It's better to look on the bright side.
It's always better.
Now that I am here, I want to ask something.
When someone comes for a visit,
do you want that person to stay for a long time...
or leave soon?
I want people to leave soon.
Even when I had a girlfriend,
I didn't want her to stay for more than two days.
You have a strong sense of privacy.
The thing is...
no one has come to my house.
That's right.
He is above them.
- Seung Soo is above them. - Seung Soo.
You don't invite people to your house.
Ever since I began to live alone,
I haven't been intimate enough with anyone...
to invite her home.
If I have friends I can invite home, I would stay home all day.
Why did you ask the question?
When people come home,
they continue to drop food.
- That's what you meant. - When that happens,
it gets on my nerves.
Then I begin to think, "I hope this person leaves soon."
I think it puts a pressure on me.
You don't want people to drop food.
Sharing a space with someone is a big deal for you.
That's right.
- Byeong Se. - Yes?
Even though you don't usually think about it,
you sometimes want to be...
in a relationship.
I was in a drama with romantic moments.
When I came home after the shoot,
I realized that those emotions have lingered in my heart.
(My goodness.)
"I want to love someone. I want to date someone."
The desire was so great that I could barely hold back.
What did you do?
What other choice do I have? I suppressed the desire.
Sometimes,
- I calmed myself with drinks. - You drank.
You have female colleagues.
I don't see them after I am done with the drama.
(It's sad.)
While it's the same with male colleagues,
it's especially hard to stay in touch with female colleagues.
Il Woo, you spend time with your colleagues.
Yes, I do.
Yang Hee Kyung.
I am close friends with her.
I have even worn her underwear once.
Did it fit?
There was plenty of room.
Byeong Se, the last blind date you were on was 10 years ago.
You said you have passion,
but it doesn't seem like you are forward.
My job often pulls me back.
Going up to someone and striking up a conversation...
requires a great deal of courage.
It's hard to do that in public.
That's why I keep adding years to the dry spell.
You have friends who are divorcees, right?
- Yes, I do. - Yes, I do.
They think differently, right?
They live alone in a different way.
This is what I noticed...
from watching my friends who are divorcees.
They go through different lovers in a short amount of time.
- Divorcees are like that. - Yes.
It seems like they are having fun.
- Their relationships are quick. - I knew it.
- Please don't misunderstand. - That's the difference.
I won't. It's understandable for you to think that way.
They are different.
There's a clear reason.
- What's the reason? - They had experienced something...
we have never had.
We don't feel lonely in the beginning.
However,
they feel lonely when they don't have a lover.
- It's not like that. - Loneliness doesn't play a part.
This is what I think.
I am not in a position to say anything.
Even though you are a divorcee, you are in a serious relationship.
- Regardless of that... - He was married for a short time.
My wife and I had a child before we got divorced.
18 years of marriage...
let me know about the stress that comes...
- from conjugal disharmony. - You have experienced it.
That makes divorcees less naive...
and more realistic.
- Divorcees are different. - They really are.
In any case, we love women equally.
We don't necessarily have more fun.
(Please don't misunderstand.)
Il Woo, you have nice-looking ears.
Really? The camera will zoom in on me again.
Look at his earlobes.
- He has Buddha's ears. - I know.
- Monk Xuanzang's ears. - That's right.
I bet...
your past lovers have touched your ears a lot.
Would you repeat that?
I bet your past lovers said, "Your ears are so cute."
- You have nice-looking ears. - Why am I flushing?
- You have nice-looking ears. - Earrings would look good on you.
It's hard to have such nicely shaped ears.
People usually get these ears in their 70s.
(He attacks with fact.)
I know.
My ears aged first.
(His ears aged first.)
(They build friendship by attacking each other with fact.)
Ik Joon, I heard you developed a specialty for Radio Star.
No.
The thing is, Ik Joon has... impressive specialties.
He has a lot of specialties.
I heard the way he rolls his eyes will make Lee Gyeong Gyu proud.
(Lee Gyeong Gyu is the master of rolling his eyes.)
Gyeong Gyu can roll his eyes very fast.
Do your eyes move a lot?
My trick isn't like Gyeong Gyu's.
It's different.
- Take off your glasses. - Take off your glasses.
- This is funny. - Let's see
I start from here.
Only one eye will move.
(Only one eye moves.)
It moved to the center.
(How fascinating!)
- Did it work? - It worked.
- Only one eye moved. - I can...
- Can you do it? - I can do it, too.
- Really? - Min Ho.
- My goodness. - I can do it too.
Have you shown your specialty on TV?
(Min Ho can do it too.)
- Ik Joon met his match. - He can do it better.
Ik Joon met his match. Min Ho looks like a robot.
(He is like a robot that can roll its eyes.)
- How did you do that? - He can do it.
I can do it too.
Byeong Se.
(Byeong Se can do it too.)
(This is unbelievable.)
It looks like everyone here can do it.
It's an easy trick.
- What is up with these people? - To be honest,
I can do it with both eyes.
- You can do it with both eyes. - Yes.
- Seung Soo. - Let's see it.
From here, I will move both eyes in turn.
(Rolling)
Seung Soo can do it the best.
This isn't my specialty.
We found another charm of his.
Is this Eyeball Special?
(Ik Joon feels defeated.)
You have other specialties too.
With a headstand that will make Lee Hyo Ri proud,
he became the charming man of "Flaming Youth".
Please bring in a mat.
I could do it well in the past.
It's not the same these days because my body is stiff.
You will do a headstand from that position.
He can do it.
(Ta-da.)
He's remaining in position.
He can do it.
(His headstand rivals that of Lee Hyo Ri.)
- He's remaining in position. - That's impressive.
He's remaining in position.
- He is good. - He can go home that way.
- He can't go home that way. - In the past,
I could circle the practice room 10 times in a headstand.
Most people use their legs to balance themselves,
but he kept them straight.
- It was for a dance mime. - You practiced mime.
- Do a headstand. - Can you do a headstand?
I have practiced it with a friend.
Your earrings will flip over.
- It's okay. - Put the microphone in your pocket.
(He can do a headstand.)
He is good.
(Min Ho is good.)
- I did it, right? - You are good.
It wasn't as good as Ik Joon's, but you did it.
He is good.
(His laugh isn't genuine.)
Didn't people do this for a prank?
It makes a sound.
(His third specialty is the armpit fart.)
There are people who can do that.
Many people know how to do it.
(His fourth specialty is the belly wave.)
- I practiced it. - I see.
- You practiced a lot. - He must have been very lonely.
Ik Joon, I heard that your indecisiveness made it hard...
for you to go on dates with your girlfriend.
I have changed now.
This happened during my first relationship.
My girlfriend and I were looking for a restaurant...
- on the day of the cold wave. - You were walking around.
We walked around for 40 minutes.
- During a freezing day? - What did you end up eating?
I think we ate Spicy Pork Bone Stew.
I should have entered any restaurant,
but it was hard to choose at the time.
I bet he wanted his girlfriend to say,
"Honey, it's cold."
(Was he using the cold weather to go to a motel?)
"Why don't we just go somewhere warm?"
"Why don't we go somewhere warm and order delivery?"
A man like me...
want a woman to say that.
I find it hard to bring it up first.
It's not that I don't want to date,
but I keep getting female friends, not a girlfriend.
When I talk with my female friends,
the conversation transcends the one I have with my male friends.
To exaggerate a bit, we talk about the cosmic matters.
A friend can turn into a lover.
They aren't my type.
They aren't your type.
(Didn't he say he is indecisive?)
That's why they talk about the cosmic matters.
That's right.
- Seung Soo, do you drink alone? - What?
I heard that you drink 4 or 5 bottles of soju by yourself.
That's a lot.
Drinking alone can get addictive.
Most people faint after drinking 4 or 5 bottles of soju.
I call someone over.
You should drink with someone.
- You must get heavily drunk. - 4 or 5 bottles of soju do that.
- I don't usually get drunk. - He can hold his liquor.
Since I hadn't planned on drinking often,
there are no soju glasses at home. There are only mugs.
Half a bottle goes into the mug.
When I drink all of it, it's half a bottle.
- You drink it in one go? - Yes.
You are a heavy drinker.
He truly loves alcohol.
I comfort myself by making delicious dishes...
that go with the drink.
Do you make tofu and kimchi?
I make seafood dishes.
There are channels that only play music.
That's right.
Some channels only play ballad songs of the 90s and 2000s.
Those channels don't show anything on the screen.
- What do you watch? - I listen to music.
You don't know which song will be played next.
I love it when my favorite song comes on.
- Also... - I turn on the music when I iron.
What did you say?
I turn on the music when I iron.
I see. What do you iron?
When I iron my shirt or pants...
Don't you use a steamer?
It doesn't work well.
- Do you use an iron? - I use an iron.
- Do you use an iron? - I couldn't feel happier...
when I recently got a new ironing board.
They pronounce "Iron" in a funny way.
- Iron. - Iron.
That's how it was pronounced in the old days.
It feels very good...
to turn on the music and iron as the fan blew in my direction.
When the garment came out looking sharp,
I felt a thrill.
- Don't you drink alone? - I drink alone.
What do you drink? Wine?
I mostly drink soju.
It must be because you have to drink the entire bottle of wine.
A bottle of wine isn't enough.
- He drinks a lot. - He drinks more than I do.
- He drinks a lot. - A bottle of wine is too much.
- He drinks a lot. - He drinks alone.
Seung Soo drinks 4 or 5 bottles. How about you, Byeong Se?
I drink around three bottles.
- Soju? - Yes.
- He drinks a lot. - My goodness.
The two of you should drink together.
(The two of them should drink together.)
Il Woo also has something to say about drinking.
He drank so much during a trip...
that he was arrested for disorderly conduct.
I don't usually drink a lot.
How much I drink depends on the atmosphere.
One time, I went to Saipan.
I was drinking alone at a bar...
when a group of people asked me...
to join them.
I agreed and conversed with them.
Then we began...
- to play a game... - You played a drinking game.
in which the loser had to drink.
We used tequila for that.
I blacked out.
When I came back to my senses,
I was drinking tequila out of the bottle...
and running around the beach in a naked state.
I wasn't shocked or embarrassed.
I felt very happy at the time.
(Happy)
Did the people you were drinking with leave?
I don't know. I couldn't find them.
No one was with me.
I was doing that by myself.
- Where did your underwear go? - I don't know where it went.
- What did you do then? - I don't know.
- What did you do? - He lost it when he blacked out.
Did you cover your body with sand?
Did you lie down on your belly?
People must be curious. "How did he go to the hotel?"
How did you go back to your room?
Someone had given me two big towels.
I slept under the tree with the towels over my body.
Someone must have put them over your naked body.
A friend of mine came and found me asleep.
A friend should have taken you, not give you towels.
- He is too big to carry. - He had heard I was in that state.
What's important is that I was happy.
(He was the happiest to have a nude beach of his own.)
It's time to learn more about the guests...
through stories we gathered from their closest friends.
The Insiders' Report, Is This for Real?
Each guest has two keywords.
- Here are Ik Joon's keywords. - "Dung Fly".
- Dance Enthusiast. - Dance Enthusiast.
Please pick a keyword.
Are you being indecisive again?
- Dance Enthusiast. - Dance Enthusiast.
"Ik Joon is full of good cheer."
"One day, we went to see a performance by a choreographer."
"As soon as the performance ended, Ik Joon suddenly went up..."
"to the stage."
"Then he began to copy the dance."
"I was very surprised."
"I am submitting the video."
- Is there a video? - An attached video.
(Worried)
Is that the choreographer?
No, that's Ik Joon.
Is that Ik Joon?
I thought he was the choreographer.
- Where was it? - Look at his back.
(The screen isn't frozen.)
What is this?
Is he giving a performance?
Seriously. He is incredible.
(The fairy of choreography spreads his wings seductively.)
- That's incredible. - It's not like that.
Were you in a trance? Were you filled with emotions?
I just entered the stage...
and moved my body.
He can do the body roll. He can do it.
He is a good dancer.
I thought we were watching the choreographer.
I thought the choreographer had worn an unusual outfit.
(It was Ik Joon with swag.)
Il Woo has two keywords.
We got tip-offs.
I feel like these two words...
shouldn't meet. There are Poop and Tongue.
- Perhaps the stories are connected. - They are different stories.
- That would be a disaster. - Which one will be funnier?
- That would be a disaster. - Let's go with Tongue.
- Shall we go with Tongue? - Yes.
- Poop is... - Poop is a bit...
I think Tongue will be equally bad.
I bet Poop is about him pooping his pants.
Maybe I should have gone with Poop.
My goodness.
"This happened when Il Woo was in 'The Merchant: Gaekju'."
"It was a period drama in which he suddenly received..."
"a punishment of getting his tongue cut."
"Unfazed,"
"he practiced speaking as if he has a short tongue."
"However, his subsequent lines were gibberish."
"I guess the gibberish contained different feelings."
"It was sad to see the character get his tongue cut,"
"but Il Woo made it funny."
"Il Woo, can you still speak as if your tongue had gotten cut?"
Seung Soo was also in the beginning of the drama.
- Then he... - I died.
He died first.
I get my tongue cut out in the 12th episode...
for betraying Lee Deok Hwa.
It was a punishment.
I was supposed to die in the 18th or 19th episode.
I thought I would get killed off soon.
I guess too many characters died in the beginning...
because they postponed my death.
"Let's keep your character alive."
- With the shortage of characters. - Without tongue.
- Your tongue was gone. - That's right.
Even the director said, "I should have kept your tongue."
I survived until the 41st episode.
(Unexpected longevity)
So I was thinking...
I had this idea that...
he's not someone who can't speak at all.
I thought he could at least try to say things.
His tongue could have cut less.
Did you have proper lines? Was it just like this?
- I'm sure there were. - I did have it.
I had to laugh too. But I wanted to sound differently.
- I acted like my tongue was rolled. - Like it was gone.
(Laughing with his tongue rolled)
Like this.
You are misunderstanding this meat town.
(What are you saying?)
That's awesome.
(His acting was perfect even when he was crying.)
(Give me my tongue back!)
Expressing my feelings...
with no tongue was really difficult.
And I had to do it a lot more than I'd expected.
- I did it for a long time. - You really did.
You survived until the episode 41.
- Was it not interesting enough? - It was.
- How can he be funnier than this? - It's enough.
He's a delicate man. "Was it not interesting enough?"
(He gave up his tongue but didn't get edited out.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
We prepared something for everyone who didn't do it yet.
Here are the songs that comfort my lonely heart.
We are going to listen to Byeong Se's song first.
(It's sad already.)
- It's desperate. - That's great.
- It's Jang Uk Jo's song. - It's Jang Uk Jo.
- "How would I not know about it?" - That song!
- Jang Uk Jo used to sing too. - Yes, he sang and played the piano.
- He's originally a keyboard player. - He is.
- He kept ahead of everyone. - Why did you choose this song?
You must be hurt at least once in your life if you are single.
- Everyone is. - That's true.
This song can be dedicated to them.
(Why am I tearing up though?)
Here he goes!
(What is Byeong Se's 20-year-old wound like?)
("Wound" by Kim Byeong Se)
(It's mournful.)
You are good at it.
(There had been five Olympics, but he's still alone and hurt.)
(Wound)
He's deeply wounded.
(Especially when the weather's cold like these days...)
He's good at singing.
(I cannot deal with this loneliness.)
(Then I just pick up my iron.)
(His loneliness explodes.)
(You are my love)
(I think I'm crying.)
(This big brother is singing this song for every single man on earth.)
- He's so good. - I know, right?
(You are born again in my arms)
(You are the woman in the wind)
- You are really good! - He's an amazing singer.
You've been singing a lot.
- Have you been singing for profit? - Have you?
The way you say, "My love",
- tells us something. - It doesn't make any sense...
if he didn't make money with singing before.
I think I've seen your name on...
- At night clubs? - some flyers before.
I did it. I did it a lot.
- I knew it. - I could hear it.
Back in the days, if actors got bigger on TV shows,
- they appeared at the nightclubs. - It was common.
It was when I became popular because of the drama, "Heo Jun".
Seung Soo was in it too.
- I took the role of Yu Do Ji. - Yu Do Ji!
That's when many clubs called me.
Did you get some vocal training too?
I didn't.
- He's just good at it. - You are born with it.
- I learned it by myself. - You are really good.
- You know how to sound good. - He does know how.
What did you wear back then? Hanbok?
- I wore Hanbok once. - Really?
(I wore it once.)
- It's Seung Soo's turn. - What song is it?
He's a good singer.
Everyone picked difficult songs today.
("Similar Person" by Tei)
- Tei! - Tei.
- He was on "King of Mask Singer". - Really?
- Was he? - Really?
I found out it was him just looking at his silhouette.
His shoulders are a bit high like this.
If I compare him to some fish, he has a feeling of hairtail.
(Here I am. This is Seung Soo hairtail.)
- I got the right answer. Surprise! - He met me in the lobby.
- Seung Soo sings "Similar Person". - "Similar Person".
Here he goes.
("Similar Person" by Kim Seung Soo)
(He sings softly.)
(He is Park Bo Gum of the older generation.)
He's really good.
(He's tall and even a good singer.)
(He's also good-looking.)
(However, he's been single for 6 years.)
(He's not poor!)
(Look how neat he is like hairtail!)
(Please don't love me)
(You shouldn't love me)
(The lyrics explain the situation so well somehow.)
(He got hundreds of proposal emails.)
(But he's still alone this fall.)
(He desperately needs soju today.)
- It's pretty short. - Why is it so short?
It's one minute long.
- It was good. - Tei did a great job.
Oh, he didn't write it.
I guess the composer thought about Radio Star while writing it.
Cho Woo Jin is a good songwriter.
The song was finished so soon and made us want to hear it more.
If I closed my eyes, I might have confused you with Tei.
What do you mean? He's different.
Your reaction was such an old school one.
- It was soulless. - It wasn't like Tei.
(I just love Seung Soo's singing.)
It was...
We've Actually Never Been Married Special today.
Let's ask how it was for our guests today.
Do you want to start, Byeong Se?
My dream came true.
I always wanted to be on Radio Star.
A lot of Radio Star's guests in the past are doing really well.
(Don't mention it.)
That's what I want.
I hope things go well for me because I was on Radio Star.
I wish you could meet someone nice.
Are you aiming for "Infinity Challenge" too?
I don't see why not.
(I'm ready whenever you want me.)
- I hope you find your love. - Me too.
I really wish I could see you one day on "My Korean Jagiya".
(There are a lot of TV shows about family these days.)
It was really fun.
I could meet a lot of people who are similar to me.
I realized there are many weird people. It wasn't only me.
(Killing the team)
It's not just about me.
I wish these charming lads can also find their love.
- I want to give you a news too. - That would be nice.
How about you, Seung Soo?
I want to have good news too.
I wish everyone can find someone.
This was very worthwhile.
(What a heart-warming moment)
How about you, Ik Joon?
In 10 to 20 years...
- You can't. - It's not...
- What do you mean? - I don't want to be...
in the same situation.
- That's what I think. - Just get married.
Do you want to say anything, our special host, Min Ho?
- You are amazing. - You can tell us.
What is amazing? You can explain why he's amazing.
- He is... - Don't be soulless.
It's difficult to restrain yourself like this when you are in 20s.
(Is it a compliment?)
I had so much fun today.
I couldn't stop thinking about my dad.
Be nice to your dad.
I will call him after this.
- That's what I'm going to do. - That's very nice of you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mino.
(That's out of nowhere.)
(Laughing hysterically)
Did you enjoy?
Once again, I'm telling you, they didn't do it yet.
So...
The verb, "Do", doesn't sound that good.
Stop asking them if they are married or not.
Don't ask them if they have grandkids.
We hope to hear your passionate relationship stories next time.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
(Next week!)
(Wandering)
(Why didn't you fix the set? We were not here for 2 months.)
(He doesn't know what to do.)
(Is there anybody coming here?)
(Cha Tae Hyun will be the special host next week!)
("Black Suit" by Super Junior)
