(This program is a documentary where two MCs, who survived in the
jungle-like world of variety shows, go on a trip to find dinner.)
(Where is this place where the winter's sun is shining...?)
- Isn't this Yanghwa Bridge? - Yanghwa Bridge!
- It's my first time opening on a bridge! - Right?
Second Han River Bridge.
The third Han River ridge is now Hannam Bridge.
- This is the second Han River Bridge. - Right. Yanghwa Bridge.
Then where's the first bridge?
The first bridge? Where is that?
Wow! Look, Kyung-kyu! This is the point!
This is a work of art!
(Seoul's cozy winter scenery that can be seen over the bridge...)
(This is a painting.)
(We hope...we'll have a peaceful dinner without any worries!)
But why cold Yanghwa Bridge...?
How did I make it through last winter?
(Just then!)
(The taxi stopped next to them.)
- Rose thorns. - Hey.
In the taxi... Oh, who's that?
Taxi...
- Lee Juck! - Goodness! Hello!
Hey, Lee Juck!
(Why did Lee Juck suddenly appear...?)
- Did you stop because you saw us? - Are you guys filming?
Yes!
- "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - Yes.
- You stopped by after seeing us? - Where are you going?
You're not our dinner partner?
I'm on my way to meet friends in Hongdae.
But you have a mic on?
I told them to hide this!
The dinner partner who came to see his dinner friends with a mic on.
Lee Juck is a genius musician and legendary vocalist who rings both ears and hearts.
- It's been a while. - Have you been well?
He was glancing at me from inside the cab, and I was like, "He looks familiar."
- It was Lee Juck, and I thought he just stopped by. - Same here!
Wow! I didn't know this was the concept!
- This is the first time. - Korea's best artist!
- Thank you. - He sang "Snail."
That's such an old song!
Do you know any other songs of mine?
- The song "Don't worry..." - Oh, "Don't Worry, Dear."
"My dear, don't you worry about a thing."
He's from my generation!
Why am I from your generation? I'm not at that age yet.
We're on Yanghwa Bridge. Kyung-kyu doesn't know, but we both love melodies.
"Let's be happy. Let's be happy. Don't be sick."
"Don't be sick. Don't be sick."
So I thought Zion T. would be here.
If you went onto our homepage recently, his name kept appearing on there.
- The viewers did that? - Your name appeared on there, too.
- Hold on. - What is it?
- Is the taxi driver our dinner partner? - What's wrong?
Sir, please wait for us!
- Do we ride this? - Yes, we'll travel with this...
Hold on. The taxi driver is an elderly man. His hair is white.
- He's an elderly man? - Yes. See? His hair is white.
- Let me ask the driver. - Okay.
- What about the spoons? - Sir, please come out for a minute.
Oh, okay!
I'm right, aren't I?
What did I tell you?
They already knew you would be here because we're at Yanghwa Bridge.
- Do you not know him? He might not know! - Do you know him?
- Who is he? - Some old man...
Some old man. Wait a minute. I think I saw you on TV before.
- He doesn't know who you are. - Give him a hint.
If you wear this, he'll know who you are!
(Do you still not know me?)
I think he's a singer.
- "Let's be happy." - "Let's be happy."
"Don't be sick."
- "Yanghwa Bridge?" - Right!
- His name is? - Lee Yang-hwa.
Zion. T! Come on!
Known as "Music Monster" with his unique tone and emotions,
Zion. T is the unofficial ambassador of Yanghwa Bridge.
Two vocalists who entertain the ears came on the show to entertain their mouths.
- Oh! So that's why you guys talked about Zion. T! - Yes.
His hair was white, so I thought an elderly man was driving the taxi.
You must feel special whenever you come to Yanghwa Bridge.
Yes, and I rode a taxi, so I feel special today.
- His father was actually a taxi driver. - Really?
- He's not still a taxi driver, is he? - He's not.
"I was always alone at home. My father was a taxi driver.
Whenever I asked him where he was, he would say, 'Yanghwa Bridge.'"
And that's how Yanghwa Bridge became his life bridge.
(What neighborhood will they be going to?)
Read this for us.
"Have dinner at Sangsu-dong."
- We're especially riding a taxi today. - Yes, we are.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes, please get in. I'll drive!
Should I ride in the front?
Thank you.
- I'll take you to your destination. - Thank you.
The neighborhood that the taxi driver will take them to today:
Sangsu-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
This place came to be called Sangsu-dong because it was located above the Han River.
In 1957, through the re-plotting of the western
areas and Han River housing development,
it modernized later compared to other cities and gives
off a different vibe from the streets of Hongdae.
Contrary to the glamorous main street of Hongdae,
this place stimulates the analogue feelings with vintage cafes and classic stores.
At Sangsu-dong with an unusual scenery,
will they be able to dinner as they say and as they determine?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 59: As you say
It was cold, but it seems to have gotten warmer today.
I worried because it rained yesterday, but fortunately, the weather is great.
Let me ask you though. When and with what feelings did you write "Yanghwa Bridge?"
It was a time when I was in a slump with my music.
- What year? - Around 2014, I believe.
Until then, I never properly told people my story.
So I wanted to tell my life story through "Yanghwa Bridge" and I did.
I cried while writing that on the plane while thinking of my family.
- I really think you wrote those lyrics well. - Thank you.
During the ride, the staff told the two of us to...
do a talk show on the spot. "Taxi!"
- Yeah, come on! - They told us to do it.
- In here? - Yes.
We'll ask you two some questions.
- Sounds good. - We'll do the hosting around here.
- No, it's fine. - They told me to do it without being pushed by you.
One of the questions the viewers have is if this is all real.
If you guys already cast someone and go over there if you don't succeed.
To receive such a misunderstanding means we succeeded.
Right.
- We can't communicate with the homes. - Right.
- That's the biggest principle on our show. - Right.
It's 100% real.
- I have another question. - What is it?
You guys don't look like you're on good terms.
- What do you mean? - There was a question asking if you two are really on bad terms.
Like you guys don't even see each other outside of filming.
Are you guys not close in real life?
- Like you guys don't go out for drinks. - Not true.
That also means we succeeded.
People have an interest in whether we're on good terms or not.
That, too, is a sign of success!
- If they don't care at all... - You guys succeeded a lot!
If such a question didn't come out, it means they don't care about us!
We have similar personalities but our participation process is different.
Kyung-kyu dislikes unnecessary things.
I feel like we must do unnecessary things.
We have our differences. You guys will find out later.
- We're here. - Mr. Zion. T, are we here?
- We're here. - We arrived here while we were talking.
(3:50 p.m.: Arrive in Hongdae vicinity Sangsu-dong)
Sangsu-dong is overflowing with young energy because it's very close to Hongdae.
It's been a while since I've walked here at this hour.
- You don't come out a lot during the daytime, huh? - Yes.
The stores here are a lot of fun.
They're cute.
(The four of them follow the alley and go closer to today's neighborhood.)
- It's a bit further back from Hongdae's main street. - Yes.
(Further inside the alleys, they're becoming more and more modernized.)
The cafes and stores that avoided the high rental prices of main street Hongdae
are forming a new commercial supremacy in the back alleys.
I used to live in the main streets!
It really wasn't a popular place back then.
- I should've opened my eyes back then! - To real estate?
I lost Gangnam and Hongdae!
Every time I see them, I cry tears of blood!
You know YG? Gosh!
I was always curious. You know how you always stop by real estate agencies?
- Yes. - Is this the reason why you do that?
Kind of. To relieve my sorriness and learn about real estate.
Real estate agencies are the best for that.
Zion. T is a real fan of "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
- Yes. - Really? You do?
I don't usually watch TV, but while watching it
with my parents while eating, I fell for it.
- Really? - Yes. I'm happy to come out in a program I like.
It's nice that I can see the lives of people I probably won't meet.
- It makes me think everyone has the leisure to give dinner. - Right.
If I hadn't done this program, I wouldn't have become a decent human.
Whenever I go into a home and see warm families, it
makes me think about how I should be living my life.
Same for me.
When I see young people...
Living is hard nowadays.
When I see them have dreams and set up dinner for themselves...
many thoughts come to my mind.
- Where are we? - Sangsu Station.
- Is this an intersection? - This is Sangsu Intersection.
Let's cross this.
(What kind of neighborhood is Sangsu-dong?)
(The visit to the real estate agency that Zion. T looked forward to)
- There are many people in there. - There are students.
- Students! - Hello!
- It's winter, so they could be here to get homes for next year.
- Please stay seated. - Did you come to get houses?
Yes.
- Oh, to move here? - Yes. Oh my goodness!
She's your daughter?
- Oh my goodness! - I think they're scared.
- Are you guys a family? - Yes.
Where are they looking to move?
They want to move to this neighborhood because of school.
- Because of school. - Yes.
- You must say it right away! Who is he? One, two, three! - Lee Juck!
One, two, three!
I'm so sorry!
(Zion. T experienced his first embarrassment.)
"Yanghwa Bridge!"
Hello! I'm Yanghwa Bridge!
- They must know him! - Of course!
What's his name?
Do you know him?
- You need to work harder. - Okay.
I must always wear my sunglasses now.
I don't they'll know who I am.
Who is he? One, two, three!
She doesn't know. The generation gap...
- What about him? - "Snail?"
"Snail?" Hold on.
(Seems to know...)
- Lee Juck? - Yes, he's Lee Juck!
I was active as a face-less singer.
So he recognizes me with my voice.
- What grade are you in? - Sixth grade.
- Middle school? - Yes.
- Are you an elementary student? - I'm going to middle school now.
(Came to see houses to allocate a middle school)
- I thought you were in college. - Same here.
I thought she was admitted into college.
So I though she came to get a single room for the new school year.
- What year were you born? - 2005.
- 2005.
You've never heard them sing on stage?
Probably not.
"As you say!" Did you never hear that before?
"Just let the past be the past." What about that one?
"Apgujeong delinquent!"
(Operating self jukebox)
(She's getting lost more and more...)
(Lee Juck: Singer of 22 years/In the middle of a real estate concert)
She doesn't know me at all. It's been 10 years since that song came out.
- It came out when she was three. - Sing "A Goose's Dream" to her.
(Jukebox on)
You know that song, right? I'm the person who made it.
In Soon-i made it into a hit.
- He's the one who composed and sold it. - Not sold...
I do sell things, but...
(1 person who can't smile...)
- Do you know "Yanghwa Bridge?" - Yes.
- "I was always..." - "At home alone."
- "My father was..." - "A taxi driver."
(They know the lyrics perfectly!)
- You're popular among elementary school students. - I'm glad.
Lee Juck, is it great fortune for Zion. T to have a
special voice that makes people go, "Oh, that's Zion. T!"
It's innate.
- He has unique pronunciation as well. - Right.
At first, I thought he came from overseas.
"Don't be sick."
Some people think I'm saying, "Not father."
- "Bring your mother, not your father!" - It sounds like an undutiful song.
("Mom...let's be happy...)
(Not father...")
(Extreme undutiful son)
- So I thought he was 100% from overseas. You're not, right? - No. I'm from Gimpo.
- "Gimpo." - Not overseas?
(A swag born in Gimpo)
- Are you filming in our neighborhood? - Yes.
This is near Hongdae, so don't many young people live here?
Yes. There are many studios here.
There are also many schools here,
so there are multiplex houses and multi-family housings.
This is Hongdae, so many people who work around that area live here.
- People who work in Yeouido live here. - Because it's nearby.
There are also people who work in Samang-dong who live here.
Sangam-dong. Because many people who work for broadcast stations work there.
- Sangam-dong isn't far from here. - It's nearby.
Just take the subway once.
- We learned a lot! - Okay.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm starting to get nervous.
I got nervous just making eye-contact.
The four of them enter the Sangsu-dong residences with nervous hearts.
There are multiplex houses, so we might have to ring the doorbells from below.
- Right. - When it passes 7:30, we sometimes grab onto passersby.
Because you're urgent.
I've never filmed a program with such diverse rules before.
The rules change by hour.
From 7:30, the rules become completely relaxed.
There's no regulation starting from then.
(Anarchy mode from 7:30)
If people see us from up there and tell us to come in, we can.
(It's a given to call from windows.)
(They even get people from the parking lot.)
These are Sangsu-dong's back alleys.
These are really residential areas.
We're about 50 meters from the main street,
but the atmosphere is completely different.
Over there is a business park and this is a residential area.
(A very different quiet atmosphere)
I have a producer friend named Gray,
and his studio was here.
- So this is the alley I came to often. - Here?
- Yes. - Wow.
His music and copyrights are no joke, Kyung-kyu.
- You get copyrights for 100 years? - It changed to 70 years now.
- Really? - Yes.
But I'm envious of singers.
I rolled my eyes around for years, but I have no copyright for it!
- Anyone can roll their eyes! - You can get a copyright for ramen.
- "Naturally." Try it! - "Naturally."
(Anyone can follow those kind of things.../Dying of laughter.)
Ho-dong, you have that. "Bro!"
- "It's nice to meet you!" - We don't have copyrights for that!
- That's a classic. - Anyone can do it.
But Lee Juck, your "A Goose's Dream..."
will always be remembered as your song for 100 years!
That's why geese are known for laying gold eggs.
So that's the goose's dream.
To lay a golden egg.
- What is this place? I'm curious. - An office.
What is this? A coffee shop?
It's for architecture. It says "architects."
Architects mean architecture? Oh, swag.
- Architects. - Did you live abroad?
No.
Nice to meet you.
(One foreigner came to greet Ho-dong.)
- This is TV program. - Oh, yes?
- Yeah, from JTBC. - Hello.
Hi.
This is very famous Korean singer.
- Hi. - Nice to see you.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Belgium.
Belgium? I like Belgium! Beer! Swag!
Wow. A lot of cameras.
Introduce yourself please.
Hi, I'm Rohung Perreault. I'm an architect.
- Nice to meet you. - He's an architect.
- Did you see me on TV? - Yes, I think so.
I don't watch much TV, but yeah, I know your face.
Wow!
- I watch Korean TV a little bit. - My boss.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Say good-bye.
Tell him that Kyung-kyu got a medal recently in English.
Kyung-kyu, he's from Seoul University.
- For his achievement - Congratulations.
Thank you.
(The news of his medal is spreading all over the globe!)
How long stay here?
Oh, I live in Seoul. I'm a Seoul citizen.
(Shocked)
What's going on?
- Where do you live? - In front of Sangsu.
How long have you been living here?
I came to Sangsu in 2008.
- 2008. - Yes.
Why didn't you talk in Korean in the beginning?
You didn't talk to me in Korean.
(He only answered in English because he was spoken to in English...)
What a twist.
Why did you come to live in Korea?
- Because of work? - Yes.
"Yes?"
(National medal winner who wants to teach correct Korean.)
Then why did you come to Sangsu-dong?
It's nice. The vibe is nice.
Long time ago, there were hardly any cafes here.
Now it became a party country.
"Party country."
- Pardon me, but are you married? - Yes.
- Then where do you live? - Up there.
- Up there? - Yeah.
I think he thinks I'm really young.
(Baby face in Belgium...?)
What Korean foods do you like?
- Cold noodles? - Cold buckwheat noodles or...?
Cold buckwheat noodles. The spicy one is too spicy.
- Because it's spicy. Pyeongyang cold noodles? - Yes.
Buckwheat.
- Okay. It was nice meeting you. - Okay. Work well.
- Have fun. - Bye.
After hearing about the transformation of Sangsu-dong into a party country
by a Belgian architecture, they concluded the neighborhood exploration.
- Ho-dong. - Yes?
- Let's make a plan. - Sounds good.
How should we split into teams? Maybe Lee Juck can choose.
Kyu or Dong?
Wow...seriously...
I'm not drawn to either sides.
You're so honest...
It's my first time hearing that from a guest.
- It's not like you two can team up. - Right.
Juck and I will team up.
It'd be best for Mr. Zi and Mr. Kang to go together.
- KangZi? - JuckKyu.
JuckKyu... That sounds like a curse word.
(Beware of pronunciation)
(So funny!)
KyungJuck sounds good!
- Honk honk! - KyungJuck as in hoot your horn!
- KyungJuck is good. - Let's go with that.
- ZiDong is good. - KangZi.
- ZiDong is good, too! - It means automatic?
So that the doors will open automatically.
- So... - A script-less drama in Sangsu-dong. "Let's Eat..."
"Dinner Together!"
It's time for a dinner when they will "be happy" and "not be sick"
Let's go.
It's 6:00, but it's dark. It became a different neighborhood.
- Here! - No one is home.
The light is on?
- Go ahead and try it. - You guys can try it.
- Right here. Start with the basics. - "I'm Zion. T."
Right. Ask if they know you. Talk about our program. Dinner scenery.
"Let's talk about this and that."
"Let's eat dinner together."
"Together."
(Ding-dong!)
(Quiet...)
Do you hear anything?
(They ring the bell again...)
It's broken. The first bell is broken.
(Feeling ominous)
You have terrible luck on your first try.
Unlucky T.
(Team KyungJuck's first try)
(Ding-dong!)
There are many cases when singers end up like their songs.
- "Don't worry about anything." - "Let's eat dinner together."
- It's cold. - Reply doorbell.
There's no answer. Should I try one more time?
First floor is ours. You guys only have one chance.
First and second floor is the same house.
Let's not fight over a doorbell.
- Already? - We're getting sensitive.
I have a bad feeling.
This doesn't look easy.
- I feel like it's 10 p.m., not 6 p.m. - Right.
- I think this is the end of the residential area. - Right now in front of Hongdae...
- It's busy. - It's a night-less night.
- Night-less night. What did he say earlier? Party...? - Party country.
It's party country up there. In the back, it's so quiet though.
It's a cleanly divided half moon today.
- Exactly in half. - Split exactly.
Does that mean only one team will succeed today?
That can't be.
We hope it will only go as nicely said.
- The lights are on! - "Let's succeed."
"Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Hold on. There are four cars here.
- That's good! - Your face will appear.
- I think I should put my sunglasses on. - Swag!
Why would you wear sunglasses at night? Won't they be taken aback?
- Is that true? Is it better to show my eyes? - Of course.
- But... - Put them on.
There's no sun right now.
- That's Zion. T. - Wear it.
(Team KangZi's second try)
- Here I go. - I'm nervous.
Right.
"Fur Elise."
- I never knew I would hear Beethoven here. - Hello?
- Hello. I'm Zion. T. - Sorry?
- Do you know the singer Zion. T? - I don't...
Do you know the song "Yanghwa Bridge?"
- What is this about? - Sing for her.
"Let's be happy." Do you know that song?
- "Let's be happy. Don't be sick." - Yes, I've heard of it.
I'm the singer of that song.
I came here because I was wondering if we could eat dinner together.
- "Let's eat dinner." - "Let's eat together."
Do you know who that was just now?
Kang Ho-dong.
The important question is, did you eat dinner?
Not yet. I'm about to set the rice.
My daughter will be coming home soon.
Is your daughter a student?
- She's married, and she's coming to visit me. - Oh, she's coming home.
- This is JTBC's "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - Yes, I know.
Okay. Can you ask your daughter if we can film this with you guys?
- Please wait. - We'll ring the doorbell again after you talk to her.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- You can try another home, Kyung-kyu. - My heart is thumping.
I feel like my heart is about to burst.
- Try the next house. - The next house?
- Did that ever happen before? - Of course.
(They try the home next to KangZi.)
Let's step back. He needs to appear alone so that he looks lonely.
- Who is it? - Hello.
I'm singer Lee Juck.
- Oh, yes! - Do you know who I am?
- Yes. - We got it!
- Hello. - Hello.
Why do you think I rang your doorbell?
Is this "Let's Eat Dinner Together?"
You got it! You're right!
I didn't even wash yet.
We can give you the time to wash!
- Did you eat yet? - No, I didn't.
- I see! - Ask him when he's going to eat!
When are you planning to eat?
I'm going to clean up and then eat.
- Offer to clean! - We'll help you clean, so you can wash!
- I don't have much to eat. - Tell him we'll buy him food.
If you don't have much to eat, we can buy side dishes at the store.
- All right. Then... - Hello! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu!
- Hello. - Hello!
I was just watching this show!
Really? I'm glad you did!
- Do you live alone or with someone else? - I live alone.
Alone! You must be lonely on a Sunday night!
It's lonely to eat dinner alone on a Sunday night.
- Do you work or are you a student? - Student.
- Oh, a student! - He sounds like a student.
- Student! - Yes?
Will you be Lee Juck and Lee Kyung-kyu's family tonight?
Hold on. I... Please give me a moment.
- We'll give you two minutes to think about it. - We'll ring the doorbell again.
- All right. - Okay. Thank you.
(Change of players)
- Don't get excited. - My heart is about to burst!
It's cold, but we're so lucky!
- This is the first time this happened. - "I'm glad."
"Don't worry."
Whenever we celebrate, good things never happen, so let's calm down first.
But we have a higher rate of success.
- The student... - I think it's because he lives alone.
The student might be ready, but the daughter is important as well.
My heart is anxious! I'm going nuts!
Please, ma'am...
What if the woman is like, "My daughter is crossing Yanghwa Bridge at the moment."
(Will they succeed with Yanghwa Bridge's energy?)
What is the fate of Hae-sol who wants to be happy and not sick?
What if the woman is like, "My daughter is crossing Yanghwa Bridge at the moment."
Is her daughter really at Yanghwa Bridge?
- I'm sorry. - Pardon?
My house is really tiny.
- I see. - Ma'am...
Right? Your daughter feels uncomfortable, right?
- We shouldn't be laughing. - She said she was that young man's fan.
It's understandable. Filming can be burdensome.
We'll be going now.
- We'll be going to a different house now. - Okay.
What a twist.
- It's fine, ma'am. Good-bye. - Bye.
(Be happy.)
Kyung-kyu, try it. If you succeed, I'm going into the house next to yours.
(Don't do that)
(They ring the doorbell of the student who is living alone once more.)
I wish you success.
- I wonder why he needed some time earlier. - That's what I want to know.
- Maybe he needs to clean up. - Hi. I'll open the door for you.
- Thank you. - Wow. I guess it works out like this.
(Come on in.)
- "It's cold!" - "I'm glad!"
We're worried, so please sing a song for us.
"Just let the past be the past."
(Can't hear...)
We have to go someplace else. See you next week, Kyung-kyu!
- Thank you! - I'll call you later.
- Good luck! - There is a clear exchange of sorrow and joy from the beginning.
Team KyungJuck enter the dinner story in
Sangsu-dong with feelings of being on cloud nine.
- Thank you so much. - I smell something good.
- What's your name? - Jung Bo-seung.
(Jung Bo-seung/24 years old)
- It's nice to meet you. - I was just watching your show!
- You were watching our show? - Yes.
This is fate.
- Were you planning to take the trash out? - Yes.
- We'll do that. - No, no!
We'll help you.
That trash bag?
I'm so grateful. Goodness.
(Working hard)
- Do you go to the school nearby? - I go to a fashion school near here.
Fashion school? No wonder you were wearing earrings.
- Pardon our intrusion. - Excuse us.
- So you were watching this show on that TV. - So that's where you were watching it.
Where do you eat your food?
I don't have a table right now, so I eat on the floor.
- We can do that. - That doesn't matter.
- How do you eat dinner usually? - I eat cup rice every day.
- Cup rice? - Yes.
- May I look into your fridge? - Sure.
If we has eggs...
- You have a lot! - There's a lot of food!
- He has a lot of eggs. - There are many eggs.
- Should I make egg soup? - I'd love that.
Egg soup.
The old men's hearts to make a warm homemade meal for someone who is their son's age.
Do you own a poultry farm?
- Can I go buy some ingredients? - Should we?
What would you like to eat?
- I love eggs. - I can tell.
Does your family own a poultry farm?
My family runs a fishing store.
- A fishing store? - Yes, in Tongyeong.
- Tongyeong? - My hometown is Tongyeong.
- I went to fish there recently. - Really?
I didn't catch anything.
So your family has a fishing store in Tongyeong.
(A fascinating fate connected by fishing)
Anyways, I'm going to quickly go buy ingredients for egg soup.
- May I wash? - Go ahead!
- Go ahead and wash. - You look great already, but you can wash.
(Kyung-kyu & Juck go grocery shopping.)
Where's the mart?
- Where's the convenience store? - Over there.
- What can you cook? - I usually make a lot of Korean foods at home.
- Really? - Yes.
He has a lot of kimchi, so if we can just buy a can of tuna...
Let's buy a can of tuna and make tuna kimchi stew and egg soup.
- We don't have to eat rice. - Right.
(They arrive at a nearby mart.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Where's the green onion? - Here.
The two old men pick ingredients with a mom's heart.
Bo-seung, who unexpectedly gained a family, is dolling himself up.
We're back.
We bought green onions and a can of tuna.
- We need to start now. - You can do the rice, Bo-seung.
Juck will do kimchi stew, and I will make egg soup.
Do you cook often?
Yes, I do, but I work in the daytime.
- Part-time job? - Yes, I work part-time.
I'll check the condition of the kimchi.
There are many different kinds of kimchi.
My grandmother keeps sending them to me.
- From Tongyeong? - From Hamyang.
She lives in Hamyang.
- The kimchi looks good. - Radish kimchi.
- How old are you? - 24.
- So you were born in 1994, the year of the dog? - Yes.
(High-five)
You're the same age as my daughter.
- How long have you been in Seoul? - Two years now.
Two years?
- So you came to fashion school? - Yes.
- Design then? - No, business.
Business.
- This is "Take Good Care of my Fridge." - I know.
The concept changed.
Bo-seung unexpectedly left his kitchen in the hands of
the godfather of entertainment and godfather of music.
Kyung-kyu, who knows how to cook nowadays, is in charge of the egg soup.
House owner Bo-seung sets hot, new rice.
I'm going to make it fried kimchi style.
- You must cook for your kids a lot nowadays. - Yes, they like my spicy rice cakes.
Lee Juck, the dad of two daughters who usually cooks often,
is making a fantastic collaboration with kimchi and tuna.
(He puts kimchi in sesame oil.)
(Ton of tuna)
- It will be amazing with rice. - Yes.
(KyungJuck naturally took over the kitchen.)
- Can I help you with anything? - No, sit down.
(Dinner is being speedily progressed.)
It must be lonely for you to eat on the floor every day.
Yes, I eat on the bed.
- While watching TV. - Yes.
With the food on a chair.
Did you put everything in it? How about making some soup?
- Make it more watery? - Yes, if there's soup, it will be more like kimchi stew.
- This has to be like kimchi stew. - I'll put a little bit in.
(Transforming into tuna kimchi stew)
(Kyung-kyu is putting his heart and soul in the egg soup.)
Is this enough or should I put more water in here?
(Some people would think this is the final round of a dinner competition (?))
(Puzzled)
(Two celebrities who are making dinner at my house)
- How long have you been living here? - For one year.
- Where did you live before? - Gwangheungchang, which is just one bus stop away.
Towards Seogang.
My younger sister suddenly went back home.
I live in a place with two rooms, so it's lonely now.
- Do you have a girlfriend? - Yes.
Is your girlfriend your dinner partner?
Oh, we're in a long-distance relationship.
- Where does she live? - Jeonju.
Wow. Tongyeong and Jeonju. You guys are all over the place!
(Physical distance is overcome by love.)
- Is it done? - I'm going to boil it one last time when the rice is done.
Good. I'm done as well.
Then let's do this.
Let's eat on the floor like you usually do.
With newspapers?
- I just eat. - Won't he just eat on the floor?
Eating on the floor makes me think of the days I drank soju.
This is nice.
(Open the side dish box)
It's frozen.
(Mortified)
- Let's sit here and eat. - Sure.
In this kind of mood, I always had a paper cup of soju.
- Let's eat like this. - Okay.
(Sounds good to me.)
- This is pretty good for a guy. - Right.
- Is this room used as a closet? - It was my sister's room, but now it's a closet.
- Why did your sister eave? - Our dad told her to come home.
- To Tongyeong? - Since she has a fishing store.
My sister was preparing to get certification, but she kept failing.
- So your dad told her to take care of the fishing store. - My dad asked her for help.
What are the benefits of living in Sangsu-dong?
First, Hongdae is close.
Party country? What's so good about living near Hongdae?
I came from the country, and my school is near Hongdae.
I went there after O.T,
but there were so many people!
I can never see that kind of scenery, you know?
Since you're from Tongyeong.
I used to live in Daegu, and I thought that was a huge city.
But it wasn't.
Hongdae is on a different level.
There are many stylish people and a ton of celebrities.
It was a new world for me.
You have to wait in line for bars.
You have to wait in line for karaoke.
In Tongyeong, you never have to wait in line!
It was my first time seeing the culture of waiting in lines.
Another good thing about coming to Seoul is that I get to see a lot of celebrities.
Not everyone who lives in Seoul is visited by "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Who are the celebrities you've actually seen?
I've seen a lot!
When I worked at a restaurant, I saw Jo Jin-woong and Shin Jung-geun.
- The movie actors. - They came to the restaurant.
I was like, "Wow. You can see celebrities no matter what you do here."
"Even though I'm working at a restaurant, I can see celebrities."
- I met Yang Se-hyung. - Yangsebarry!
I was passing by when he was filming something.
- He came last time. - I saw it. He was with Yoo Deok-hwa.
Yoo Byung-jae. Heize.
I was working when they came in as celebrities.
I haven't even seen Yoo Byung-jae and Heize yet.
(As expected from Hongdae!)
What part-time jobs did you take in Seoul?
- I worked as a server at a chicken restaurant. - Chicken serving.
- I worked at a clothing store for a long time. - A clothing store.
How many part-time jobs did you have in all?
If I include the ones I did in Tongyeong, there
are quite a lot. I even did construction work.
(Young man Jung Bo-seung who lived a hard-working life)
What kind of job do you do now?
I was working up until recently, but I'm taking a break now.
My school is ending soon, and I have to move, too.
- This neighborhood is expensive. - Then where will you go?
- I want to go to Incheon. - Why?
With this price, I can live in a better place there, and the rest will be less.
When I graduate, I have to become financially independent.
You're working part-time and receiving money from home?
I get a bit of living expenses.
I get half of what they used to give me before.
- So you're getting less money now. - Right.
Even if you go to Incheon, you'll have to go someplace that's like Hongdae.
There's nowhere there that's like Hongdae.
- Bupyeong. - Oh! Bupyeong is...
- Bupyeong is a party country. - You can go there then.
I went there a few times, but it's nothing compared to Hongdae.
- He's a party animal! - I think he's going to come back here.
- He's definitely going to come back. - "I miss Hongdae!"
Brag about this neighborhood.
If this show airs, then my place might get sold faster, right?
- Of course. - You have to hurry up and sell this to the next person?
It's been over a month since I put this place out, but it hasn't been sold.
First off, this place is very close to Hongdae.
It's a running distance of less than 5 minutes to Hanshinpocha.
Even if you're drunk, you can come home safely.
How desperate are you for soju that you have to run for it?
I think the rice is done.
While they were busy talking about his love for
Hongdae, the rice cooker let them know it's dinnertime.
(Open the rice cooker)
While Bo-seung is scooping steamy rice,
The tuna kimchi stew that changed into fried kimchi
is transferring to a pot where it's easier to eat from.
(They put the prepared food on the floor one by one.)
(Deep inside)
- This is frozen. - We'll just eat it like that.
I'm hungry.
It's probably done.
Last of all, if they just put Kyung-kyu's egg soup made
for Bo-seung into bowls, they're all ready to eat.
Now, all they have to do is enjoy their food.
Wow. This looks awesome.
I need to take a picture with all of them on the floor.
This is a gift-like dinner that has been prepared with mom-like hearts by the
invited family for a young man who lives in Sangsu-dong and from Tongyeong
The rice was well done. Take a look.
You must be good at measuring the water since you done it so much.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Lee Juck first tastes the egg soup that Kyung-kyu made.)
The egg soup is delicious.
- How is it? - It's good.
Oh, it's good!
It's good, right? It's my first time eating like this.
- I need to try ice. - "Ice." Red ice.
How long has it been since this came from Tongyeong?
- It's been a while. - Is it sour?
(The kimchi taste makes his entire body shiver...)
(He quickly extinguishes his mouth with egg soup.)
This makes me think of old times. I used to eat like this.
I see.
Kyung-kyu, who was totally immersed in the egg soup he made himself,
tasted Lee Juck's tuna kimchi stew and fell for its tastiness.
- It's good, right? - It's really good.
- The kimchi was delicious, so it came out well. - It's good!
Lee Juck, who successfully made kimchi stew,
is enjoying his meal that was met as he said.
The young man from Tongyeong who was about to eat by himself on a Sunday night
is also relieved that he gets to experience a fun dinner.
- How is the kimchi stew? - It's really good.
- It is? - Yes.
While Bo-seung is feeling the worth of living in Sangsu-dong...
Team KangZi who became the defeated is...
Oh. I wondered why it was so dark. I was wearing my sunglasses.
(Very random)
(It's so dark, but he was wearing sunglasses...)
The light is on!
It looks really warm.
- Your sunglasses. - Oh, right!
Should we try it without sunglasses?
With my bare eyes?
(Since he took off his sunglasses...)
I'll hold onto my sunglasses just in case. If they don't recognize me, I'll wear them.
(Dingdong with a nervous heart)
You live in Sangsu-dong. It's your hometown.
- Hello? - Hello.
(Just then, someone is coming from inside the house.)
- Hello. I'm Zion. T. - Hi.
Is this a residence? It's not?
- What is this place? - A company.
- It's a company? What kind of company? - A video producing company.
- Video producing? We're all similar in that way. - Right.
- It's Sunday, but all of you are working? - Yes.
That's so warm!
- Are you drying your hair right now? - Yes.
- Good luck drying your hair! - Good luck!
Fail!
It's because it's Sunday. No, wait. It's Wednesday.
It's Sunday! Maybe that's why...
I don't think people will be home...
(Desperate...)
- What are you doing? - Praying.
(Will his prayer be answered?)
- Who is it? - Hello. I'm singer Zion. T.
- Excuse me? - Do you know Zion. T?
- Yes! - Do you know "Yanghwa Bridge?"
- Yes. - I'm the one who sang that.
- Did you eat dinner yet? - Yes.
My child ate lunch early today.
- Good-bye. - Good-bye.
Let's go.
- It's comforting that she knows me at least. - Of course. It's a grateful thing.
- It'd be nice they sang with you. - Right.
There's someone home.
I'll stand there. You stand here. Introduce yourself.
Who is it?
Hello. I'm singer Zion. T.
Do you know me?
Of course!
Did you eat yet?
- While going around... - You're Kang Ho-dong.
- Yes. - Oh my god.
- Did you watch our show? - Yes, I know of it.
This is important because Zion. T lives in Sangsu-dong.
But he can't fail in his own hometown.
It's very cold, too.
The important question is, did you eat dinner?
- We're eating right now. - Yes?
- Please don't feel burdened. - I am burdened.
(Her rejection comes out gently.)
Then for you to get a good vibe, Zion. T will sing a short verse for you.
"Let's be happy. Let's be happy. Don't be sick."
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Be healthy!)
Good night.
I think it will feel very unique to go inside a home and eat dinner together.
Rather than getting in right away,
we'll be happier if we succeed after suffering a bit more.
- Dinner will be more delicious. - Of course.
- I'm singer Zion. T. Did you eat yet? - Yes.
- "Let's be happy." - I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - It's fine. Have a warm night.
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes, I did.
I see.
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes, I did.
I want to succeed.
- This is a downtown of Sangsu-dong. - Yes. There are many good restaurants here.
Sangsu-dong's delicious restaurants are a pie in the sky for couple KangZi.
It's cold, so the spoon gets colder.
That's true!
I should relieve the swelling.
(They went past the restaurants and came to an alley.)
(What caught Zion. T's attention is a taxi.)
(The two of them go in there as if they're drawn by the taxi.)
Here it is.
(Zion. T looks more nervous than ever.)
(It's okay... There's a taxi.)
- Sir. - Hello. I'm singer Zion. T. It's nice to meet you.
Did you eat yet?
(Will they be able to succeed at the place that a taxi led them to?)
- Did you eat? - Yes.
That's too bad!
(Dad, what's wrong?)
- Hi. - Thank you so much.
- Sorry for intruding. - Hello!
- Stand up. Hello. - Hello.
- You're so cool. Are you 9 years old? - Yes.
- Is your brother 7? - No, he's 6.
He's 6. Amazing.
(Their dad is still shocked.)
- We came to film in Sangsu-dong. - I see.
It's 7:00. Why did you eat so quickly?
I just came back from an overseas work trip.
- We'll be going now. Good-bye! - Bye!
- Good night. - Sing for them.
"Let's be happy. Don't be sick."
Be happy! Thank you! But why did you collapse earlier?
I was so shocked. I'm a huge fan of you.
- You're not scared of me, are you? - No!
- Bye. - Thank you.
- They're so cute. - The family is so bright, huh?
- Yes. - I didn't know he would collapse like that!
He just slid down.
- This complex is filled with lights! - People are home.
- All the floors are full! Let's go! - Let's go! Let's get it!
(They ring the doorbell without hesitance.)
(Anxious)
- Who is it? - Hello!
- Hello. - I'm Kang Ho-dong.
I'm Zion. T.
If you didn't eat dinner yet, would you like to make good memories with us?
- Please hold on. - Okay!
(Good feeling)
We don't know yet though. We're 80% there.
(Please!)
- Hello. - Hello!
It's nice to meet you.
- Is it okay if we sit together and talk... - My home is small though.
We don't mind! Talking is what's important!
When you eat a meal together, you're family. Will you be our family tonight?
Couple KangZi who failed continuously. Will they be able to eat dinner?
- Yes. - We'll give you some time to get ready.
Thank you!
(Deeply touched)
- Swag! - Swag!
I'm so excited! You worked really hard today.
It worked, after all.
(The sufferings they went through up till now disappears.)
If it goes over 7:30, you get uneasy.
(What a relief!)
(Come on in)
- Sorry for making you wait. - No problem. May we come in?
(7:20 p.m.: Ho-dong, Zion. T enters the home that will give them dinner)
- The house is very warm! - It's nice.
- My home is small. - We'll manage just the way it is!
- Who lives here? - My daughter is here, and my son is there.
Oh, I see. Can they film with us?
Can you ask them?
I'm not going to do it!
- Oh, dear. - My daughter doesn't want to.
She doesn't? Then...
Our rule is that...
if even one people residing in the house is uncomfortable with this...
we can't do this.
It's too bad!
- We have to hurry up and try before it hits 8:00. - Hurry on then.
- Thank you. - Bye. Good night.
- Please get good dinner somewhere else. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Thank you!
Thank you!
- See? It's like this. - So this can happen.
We're not allowed to do it if even one person is uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because they were on the verge of success.
They can't hide their disappointment.
(They have no time to waste!)
Hello. I'm singer Zion. T. Do you know who I am?
- Yes. - It's nice to meet you.
We already ate. It's over.
- It's over? - It's over, so you can't come in.
Hello. May I ask you something? Oh, did you hurt your arm?
- While doing sports. - What sports?
- Volleyball. - Volleyball? In college?
- Are you in high school? - Middle school.
- Don't do that. You're scaring me. - You're so tall. How tall are you?
- 180 centimeters. - The question is, did you eat dinner?
- I ate earlier. - You did?
Yes.
- Feel better soon. - Feel better.
Thank you.
After giving words of blessings to be happy and not get sick,
there are only 20 minutes left before the ending time.
20 minutes. The final 20 minutes.
Only 20 minutes.
Let's get our victory here.
- Hello? - Hello.
- Sir, I'm Kang Ho-dong. - Who?
Kang Ho-dong.
What brings you here?
- There's Zion. T here. - Who?
Zion. T.
- We're getting stopped at Zion. T. - Why there out of all places?
- This is troublesome. - Wow. We're in a crisis.
- Did you eat? - Yes.
- I see. - We're not ready.
I'm singer Zion. T.
Is this "Let's Eat Dinner Together?"
- We already ate. - That's too bad.
It's too bad.
There are only 5 minutes left now.
Hurry! Let's run!
We need to run so that we can choose a place in 5 minutes.
It'd be awful if Zion. T fails in Sangsu-dong.
I know. What kind of situation is this? There are many lights.
Here. Let's try our victory here. There are many cars here.
(Uneasy)
Please... I beg you...
(They try a different home without a moment to lose.)
(Desperate)
Please!
Save me!
Let's go.
2 minutes! 2 minutes! 2 minutes'!
Will Zion. T, who is a fan of "Let's Eat Dinner Together," resident
of Sangsu-dong, and the ambassador of Yanghwa Bridge, fail?
(Today's last destination)
It's 8:00. The last one.
- Last chance. - Last.
8:00. Last.
Who is it?
Hello. I'm Zion. T.
- Sorry? - Do you know Zion. T?
- No. - "Let's be happy. Don't be sick."
I'm sorry, but there's no adult home.
- Oh, are you a student? - Yes.
This is the last attempt we can make to get dinner at Sangsu-dong.
- Our last attempt. - Are you a high school student?
- Yes. - I see.
Did you eat dinner, by any chance?
He asks the final question with a thread of hope.
Does that mean only one team will succeed today?
Be careful what you say.
Will the episode end with half a success, just like that half moon?
(Meanwhile at Hongdae lover Bo-seong's home...)
If your girlfriend is in Jeonju, when do you guys meet up?
On the weekends.
- So she comes to Seoul. - She either comes here or I go to her.
- You probably don't want to get married soon. - I do.
My father got married at an early age, so when I see him, it makes
me want to think I want to have a son like me when I'm at his age.
- Is your father young? - He's 47.
Your father is 10 years younger than I am.
- He got married very early. - Was he born in 1971 then?
- Yes. - He's three years older than me.
- But he has a 24-year-old son? - Yes.
My family set me up with my girlfriend.
- Your mom? - My dad and her dad.
- So it was set up between families? - Yes.
That's like something from the Joseon Era.
So you guys met up?
Yes. There's a friend of my dad who plays pool with him.
My dad was like, "I have a son," and he was like, "I have a daughter."
So we suddenly started to date.
- While playing pool? - Yes.
"I have a son. You want to meet him?" "I have a daughter. Want to meet her?"
You guys met and connected right away?
I went, and she was so pretty.
She came first in a car.
My sister was sitting in the middle, I sat on
the right side, and she sat on the left side.
I saw her silhouette since it was dark.
- She was pretty. - Her silhouette was pretty?
So we were eating at a sushi restaurant...
- Sushi restaurant? - Just you two or...?
All of us went together, including my brother.
- It's Tongyeong, so they have to go to a sushi place. - First date at a sushi place.
It'd be a different story if they were in Hongdae.
My dad ordered sushi, and to raise my spirits, he ordered expensive lobster as well.
I told her to eat, but she wouldn't.
She had drank a lot the day before.
(She refused lobster because of the aftermath of alcohol...)
I thought she refused to be coy, since her hands can get dirty if she eats lobster.
I really wanted to eat.
It's been a while since I came to Tongyeong, and I wanted to wolf down the food
I didn't want to do that in front of a girl though.
So I just ate a little bit. I couldn't even eat the lobster.
But didn't your girlfriend think you were being considerate,
since you weren't eating because she wasn't eating?
I'm a bit timid, and I can't talk well. She said I wasn't her style at first.
But after talking over coffee...
- She liked you? - She wanted us to date.
So I said okay, and we've been together until today.
No such father exists!
A father who introduces his son to girls while playing pool.
My dad is very funny!
(His father is humorous.)
He's from Gyeongsang-do, so he's kind of curt as well.
I act very cute to my dad...
like when I need money.
- "Sir." - What do you call him?
"Sir."
Or...
He's funny. This guy is hilarious!
If a son is like, "Sir, give me money," he's be like, "What the heck?"
If I don't think he's going to give me money, I change it and say,
"Your Highness, the hearts of the people are in chaos.
You cannot afford anything with ten dollars."
- "Your Highness." - "Your Highness."
Then your dad...?
Then he says, "All right. I am enjoying my royal meal at the
moment, so I will send it to you later in your account."
- Then does he send it to you? - He does.
- May we talk to His Highness right now? - Hold on.
Tell your dad about this first.
(Your Highness please answer your phone.)
He must be having his royal dinner right now.
Hello? Dad, at my place right now...
You know "Let's Eat Dinner Together," right?
Yes. They came to film at my place.
We were talking about you, and they wanted to speak with you.
I'll let you talk to them.
Hello!
- Hello! - Hi! I'm Lee Kyung-kyu!
I'm singer Lee Juck!
Marines! Victory!
That's Lee Jung...
(Treated as a marine just because of one word difference...)
- "I'm glad." - "I'm glad."
Oh, yes. Lee Juck? Oh, I see!
You're the troubadour and the brain...
He must remember me now.
Yes, I respect you.
You're so young! I heard that you introduced your son's girlfriend to him.
Oh, yes. I'm a pool maniac,
and at the billiard hall, my friends and I play international pool.
- "International pool." - Yes.
There's this good rival of mine.
He's one level below me,
and even though he loses about $50 to $60 every game, he still challenges me.
So I thought, "He's a good person."
He's someone who always loses to you.
(Due to his father's humorous words (?), his lips are becoming dry...)
I thought he was a good person, so I asked him about his children.
He said he has a marriageable daughter.
He bragged about her a lot.
True to his words, she was a beauty.
She goes to a national university. To bumpkins like us, that's a huge deal!
So we decided to set our children up.
- Fortunately, they like each other. - I know.
They're still dating to this day.
- Mr. Jung? - Yes?
I heard your son calls you "sir" if he runs out of money.
I am a sir. I'm the president of the Tongyeong City Amateur Wrestling Association.
- Wrestling association? - Wrestling association?
- Yes. - You fish, play pool, and wrestle.
I've always done manly things.
Mr. Jung, please compliment your son.
He never caused any trouble.
I'm not just saying this because he's my son, but I'm grateful he grew up well.
That's great. Because Bo-seung opened up the door for us, we had a great meal.
- This is a very odd fate. - I know.
When we go to Tongyeong, we'll come visit you.
If you come, I'll treat you to a full course!
- "Full course." - Do we also get lobsters at sushi restaurants?
That's a given! I'm a lobster affiliation.
Why are you doing so many things?
If you love sushi, I'll bring a 5-ton sprinkler cart right away!
(Welcome, Kyung-kyu)
(Sir, please stop...)
- He's a great talker! - He is!
Ho-dong is one year older than me.
I went to school in Masan, so I know Ho-dong's dark history.
- May we give him your number? - Just tell him this.
Okay.
- Sungwon Night Club. - Sungwon Night Club!
(What is the secret behind Ho-dong and Sungwon Night Club...?)
(Burst into the hardest laughter at Ho-dong's past (?))
Mr. Jung, I'll come to Tongyeong to fish one day.
- Come anytime. - All right.
- Bye, dad. I'll call you later. - Okay. Take care of them until the end.
- I will. Bye. - Bye.
He really is in a lobster affiliation.
People usually say, "Be nice to them." But he was like, "Take care of them."
- Your father is hilarious! - Sungwon Night Club.
What happened to the other team? Did they make it?
Ho-dong, whose ears are itching from the gossip,
is putting his hope in their last attempt.
This is our last attempt, you know? Did you eat?
Will the script-less drama in Sangsu-dong have a happy ending?
Did you eat?
Will the script-less drama in Sangsu-dong have a happy ending?
- Yes. - What did you eat?
No one is home, so I ate ramen.
- Must've been delicious. - With kimchi?
Just like that, Zion. T, who sang "let's be happy" didn't get his dinner.
- I'm sorry. - No need.
- We'll sit here on the steps for about five minutes. - Go ahead.
- The stairs are wonderful. - This is nice.
What grade are you in?
- 11th grade. - My goodness.
- Are you at an age to like Zion. T? - Yes.
- Who is your favorite singer? - BTS.
- Did you watch the episode with Jung-kook? - Yes, I did.
Did he fail or succeed then?
(The bitter memory of completely failing)
We failed today, too.
I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - It's okay.
Swag!
- Bye. - Be safe.
Thank you.
(Bend over like a folder)
It's been a while since I failed.
In the end, just like Kyung-kyu had said, they don't half-succeeded today.
However, the hungry stakeout at the convenience store has just begun.
Do you think Kyung-kyu and Lee Juck are done eating?
They must have ended by now.
What do you think they ate?
They're calling.
Let's pretend we didn't fail.
Goodness.
Where are they?
Zoom out! Where are you guys?
(We're at the convenience store)
(This place is a festive house.)
(This place is a funeral home.)
They say you need to be careful of what you say.
I looked at the moon and said those words. It's a half-moon today.
(Kyung-kyu's prediction was annoyingly right.)
The one who opened the door for us is from Tongyeong.
His father is from Changwon, and he was born in 1971.
I don't know if we should ask this or not.
I'll just ask you since his father mentioned it.
What on earth did you do at Sungwon Night Club in Masan?
(Shocked)
(Knocked down by the unpredictable question)
- He disappeared from the camera! - Your father hit bull's eye!
So this wasn't made up.
What?
He said that when you appeared at Sungwon Night Club, his friends would all run away.
(He ran away?)
Why would they run away?
But let me as you one thing. Do you know Sungwon Night Club?
I do.
- He knows. - You met someone from my hometown.
He knew about you very well.
Hey, Yanghwa Bridge!
Yes, it's Yanghwa Bridge.
What will you do?
Eat chocolate at the convenience store.
The Hal-moon was an ominous sign.
Dinner in Sangsu-dong is half-successful!
- It's over. - How could this happen?
Please tell the PD to edit the story out about the night club.
That's the most important. Do you really think they'll edit it out?
It was hard work to get that.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I don't see anyone here.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(The night in Sangsu-dong is getting later...)
Are you okay?
- Is your stomach empty? - It's been empty for a while.
This does make you hungry.
I don't usually move around a lot, but after going up and down flights of stairs...
- We exercised a lot. - I know. We exercised our legs a lot.
(They're staking out at another convenience store.)
(We're inside, so why is it cold...?)
There's a freezer here, so it's quite cold.
- No wonder my knees were getting cold! I was like, why? - Maybe it's going to rain?
- No wonder. We're in front of the freezer. - Yes.
- Hello. - Good evening.
- Are you going to eat here? Oh, you're leaving? - Yes.
- Bye. Have a safe drive. - Bye.
It's too bad.
- What was your father like when you were little? - A friend-like father.
- Swag. - Even now, he's like that.
Aside from my job as a singer and future goals,
my other aspiration is to become a good dad.
I want to be a sweet husband and good dad like my father.
Wasn't he against you being a singer?
He was very worried, but he wasn't against it.
Before I debuted when I didn't have an agency,
he would drive me to my performances and studio.
I saved a lot on transportation.
- Even though you have the talent, you need courage to go on stage. - Yes.
That means it's advantageous for extroverted people.
- I think you're introverted though. - Yes.
Actually, I've never done music thinking I'm going to be a singer.
But it just happened because I make songs, and I
needed a voice for them, so I had to use mine.
A couple of my songs started to spread,
and without me knowing, I had become known as a singer.
So at first, I had a very hard time.
It was hard singing on stage and making eye-contact with people.
So I started to wear sunglasses.
It's the first time I'm wearing glasses instead of sunglasses on a show.
When you go on stage, you're a pro though.
It became easier after covering my eyes.
(Today, he took off his sunglasses that hid himself...)
My hands and feet became more comfortable.
It would've been nice if we heard other people's stories instead of mine.
Will a convenience store family appear for Hae-sol who
mustered up courage and took his sunglasses off today?
Hello. If you're getting coffee, that means you already ate dinner.
- Did you eat? - Yes.
- Goodness. - Oh my gosh.
- Oh my god. - Hello. Did you come to eat?
I just came to get something.
- Nothing like cup ramen? - No.
- What are you here for? - Cola.
- Cola? Did you eat? - Yes.
- Where? - Home.
Home?
Cup ramen is perfect for cola.
You're done eating already.
- Hello. Didn't you just buy a lunch box? - Yes.
- Where are you planning to eat? - Home.
- You didn't eat yet. - Instead of eating at home, can you eat with us here?
- My roommate is waiting for me. - Someone is waiting for him.
(We waited for a long time, too...)
- Thank you. - Good luck.
There are 20 minutes left until the deadline.
He keeps recalling the bitter memories.
(He slowly heads towards the convenience store.)
He's buying a lunch box.
- Can we talk for a bit? - Sure.
It looks like you're buying barbequed beef lunch box.
- Where are you planning to eat it? - At home.
- At home? Why are you eating so late? - You didn't eat yet?
I hung out with a friend earlier.
- What neighborhood do you live in? - Sangsu-dong.
You live in Sangsu-dong. If you eat this alone, you'll be lonely.
- I think we're in the same boat. - Don't eat alone. Would you like to eat with us?
If you're shy, you don't have to do it.
Just think of it as eating dinner with us. What do you say?
A golden opportunity near the deadline.
Will the shy young man in Sangsu-dong muster up the courage and approach them?
- What do you say? - Sure.
Did you say yes?
Then let's go!
Is this your first time on a show? Are you nervous?
Look! We had 15 minutes left!
- Because you said yes, we're able to eat! - We're very grateful.
- Do you work? - I'm a student.
College student? Do you go to school around here?
- Yes. - Hongdae University student.
- Management major. - Management.
- What would you like to eat? - 2 plus 1?
- We can also give him one then. - Yes.
The shopping for two plus one items to satisfy their mouths start.
At a convenience store, they experience the miracle of 4 becoming 6.
It's hot. Be careful.
You're like a welcome rain to us.
(Shaking hands)
- You're nervous because it's your first time on a show, right? - Yes, I am.
Whenever you don't want to look nervous, you end up shaking.
- Even if you're doing the same thing. - That's why I'm bad at presentations.
Let's go outside.
(The inside is small so they go outside.)
Jin-hwan, come here.
You should've ate dinner with your friend. Why didn't you?
We were at the PC room, but my friend was hungry, so he ate first there.
- I heard PC room cup ramen is delicious. - It's really good.
- Did you ever go there? - I always do.
- I don't because I don't know how to play games. - I go once every 3 days.
- Is it fun? - Yup.
- Is it awesome? - Yes.
- Battle Ground? - Yes. I just played that.
- Did you eat the chicken yet? - Not yet.
(I like chicken, too.)
If you get first place, there's a comment that says you can eat chicken tonight.
I stopped at Galaga and Tetris.
Let's eat.
- I'm so happy! - Thank you for the food.
- This is tear-jerking ramen. - Thank you.
Yes, it's tear-jerking ramen.
This dinner that was brought together by the courage of a shy young man
is a tear-jerking convenience store meal that tripled
the cup ramen and tripled happiness as well.
It's cold, so thank you for eating with us.
Thank you, Jin-hwan.
I would've been lonely eating alone at home, too.
- How long have you been living alone? - About 5 years.
- Is your hometown the countryside? - Yes, Jeonju.
Jeonju? Wow.
- All the food there is delicious. - Jeonju bibimbap.
But this is more delicious right now.
(Inhaling the ramen)
The lunch boxes come out nicely, don't they?
This is probably the most expensive thing here.
I was going to eat something cheap, but it was sold out.
- So you had no choice to eat this? - Wow! This is merciful.
It's not homemade food...
but Zion. T find happiness with merciful ramen from the convenience store.
Thanks to the aerobic exercise of the show,
Ho-dong is experiencing the most delicious convenience store dinner.
As for the young man who was about to eat alone but
suddenly met up with a family and ate additional ramen,
he gifted them a miraculous dinner in Sangsu-dong that they will never forget.
How do you usually eat dinner?
I eat lunch boxes often,
and my mom sends side dishes from Jeonju.
- Then you just make rice? - Yes. I make the rice and eat the side dishes.
My mom also sends frozen, packaged soup to me.
- Your mother is very devoted, isn't she? - Yes.
What is the hardest thing about living alone in Seoul?
First off, it's lonesome.
It's my second time living alone, since I had gone to school in Daegu before.
During that time, I gained a lot of weight because I kept eating.
- Because you eat a lot of ramen. - I kept ordering food.
I gained so much weight, but my dad suddenly told me to
go to the army, and I was like, "How can I suddenly go?"
He was like, "Go! You must go!"
- I understand how you could've felt. - No wonder he went to the army early.
(He went to the army without being prepared...)
I've never argued against my dad.
- To your mother as well? - She passed away last year.
So my dad received quite a shock from that.
I was going to stop everything and come back home, but my dad said,
"I don't think your mom would like that. I
think it's best you continue staying there."
You should go down to see your father often then.
Yes, but I'm in the middle of my studies, so I can't
see him very often, and the distance is far as well.
Did your mother pass away after being sick for a long time?
No. She passed away in a car accident.
It was unbelievable. The day before, I had talked to her on the phone.
I regret being so curt to her back then.
My mom sent me sausage and side dishes.
She asked me if I ate it, and I said, "Yeah. I'll call you later."
That was our last call.
When I woke up the next morning, my sister called
me crying, saying, "Hurry up and come home."
My uncle called me as well and told me to hurry home.
When I asked him what was wrong, he said my mom got very hurt.
This is something you normally see in dramas.
My mind became blank and I was shocked.
I never imagined this would happen to me.
I was on the bus when I heard my mom was transferred
to a hospital in Jinju, so I went there right away.
It takes nearly four hours to get there. Those four hours were so long.
They were so long.
I received phone calls...
and my family kept telling me she was getting worse.
So I just prayed...
I took a cab and arrived there, and my dad was standing there looking tormented.
That's when I knew it. I saw my mom and...
As soon as the respirator shuts off, she would be gone.
I didn't want to believe it.
It didn't make any sense. She suffered all this time.
Even now, I feel that way.
I have a family, you know? A dad, mom, and sister.
We can eat together. We're a family.
That alone was happiness.
I never thought having no money was unhappiness.
But ever since I was little, my mom suffered a lot.
Things got better now, so she could live like everyone else...
She wanted to live in an apartment, so when she moved, she was thrilled.
But that's meaningless now. I think all the meanings are gone now.
Since my mom isn't here, it's meaningless for
me to do something for her even if I want to.
Ever since I was born, I had never gone to a funeral
before since no one in my family had passed away.
It was my first time holding a funeral.
Since it was my mom's funeral, I couldn't overcome it.
So I suffered psychologically...
I visited my mom's grave during Korean Thanksgiving,
but I started to cry as soon as I saw it.
I was angry at her for leaving first...and I missed her as well.
I'm big now. I want to show her grandchildren to her, too.
Those things make me sad...
The thing is...
My father passed away three to four years ago.
I don't think he left though because he's still in my heart.
I always think he's alive.
You can just think of it that way. Don't think of her as dead.
If they're in your heart, it means they're still alive.
You can think of it that way.
It's shocking to go through such a thing at a young age,
When your mother in heaven sees you living
well with such high spirits, she'll be happy.
I believe you'll become that kind of son.
(The two of them would like to be some kind
of strength to Bo-seung who had a hard time.)
All we did was ring the doorbell and come in...
We got to hear a very deep, touching story.
- You should make a song. - Can I?
Because you opened the door for us...
He has many songs.
There are songs like, "Don't Worry, Dear," "A Goose's Dream," and "Lie, Lie."
- "Running in the Sky." - "Running in the Sky." He has many songs.
- What would you like to hear? - "As You Say."
"As You Say."
"When I was 20 years old
After I endured through a day
When I anxiously lay down to sleep
I would worry, what do I do tomorrow? What do I do tomorrow?
Even when I closed my 2 eyes
I just couldn't fall asleep
And just when I'd get so frustrated that it hurt
I deeply wondered, why can't I? Why can't I succeed?
As you say
The moment I saw that this was possible, I decided to believe it
As you determine
As you think
The moment I saw that this was possible, I nodded my head.
As you say."
(Touched)
Just like he said. It's as you say.
As you said, you should fulfill your dreams.
Yes, I will. Thank you.
- You'll always be in your mom's heart. - Right.
We hope Bo-seung's dreams will be fulfilled as he says.
Try calling her. Let us talk to her, too.
- Mom. - Say I'm your close friend.
My close friend wants to talk to you.
- Ma'am! - Hold on.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
I'm Jin-hwan's friend.
- Sorry? - I'm a close friend of Jin-hwan.
You are? Have I ever met you before?
You've probably seen me before.
Your voice sounds like Kang Ho-dong.
Who is your favorite variety show entertainer?
Yoo Jae-suk.
(He asked an unnecessary question and got hurt.)
(Feeling sorry)
- Ma'am, I ran into Jin-hwan. - You did?
We're filming "Let's Eat Dinner Together" right now.
- Really? - Yes.
We're eating a late dinner, and our time matched together.
- I see. - So we're eating dinner together.
- Really? - Yes.
Ma'am, Jin-hwan is very mature.
Thank you. But he's always like a little kid.
Please tell us three compliments about your son.
- Compliments about Jin-hwan? - Yes.
He's reliable. I like the fact that he never speaks thoughtlessly.
Yes, I really think he's thoughtlessly silent.
- He's trustworthy. - He's diligent, isn't he?
Yes.
Please say a word of encouragement to your son.
Jin-hwan, we're always apart,
so I'm always worried if you eat your meals or not.
I hope you can always enjoy your life with confidence.
Trust your skills.
Whenever you have a hard time, call dad and me, and come visit us.
I hope you do that. I love you.
Swag! Ma'am, swag!
Jin-hwan would like to tell you a word of gratitude.
- Mom. - Yes?
Thank you, and I'm sorry I don't express myself a lot.
I'll call you often. I didn't call you often, but I'll make an effort to do so now.
- And... - Visit us often as well.
- I'll come down as soon as vacation starts. - Okay. Don't skip your meals.
- I'm eating the food you sent me. - Okay.
- Tell her you love her. - I love you.
- I love you, too. - Me, too.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
- Do you know the singer Zion. T? - I think I heard his name before.
- You know, the one who sang "Yanghwa Bridge." -Oh, yes.
- You know him, right? - Yes.
Say hi to her and we'll close.
Ma'am.
- Hello. - Hello.
We had a delicious dinner with Jin-hwan, and thanks
to him, we didn't fail, and we had a great night.
- It's all thanks to your son. - I'm glad.
Yes. Please take care. One of my lyrics says, "Mom, let's be happy. Don't be sick."
Oh, yes.
I hope you can always be happy.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
- Thank you! - Thank you.
- Mom, I'll call you later. - Okay.
- Thank you for today. We met by fate. - It was a meaningful time.
The shy son who isn't good at expressing himself
delivered his true feelings he held in his heart for his mom who was
his strength with her mere existence through the words "I love you."
The dinner in Sangsu-dong was filled with love and longing between mother and son.
This is a night when you miss your mom's embrace.
House 97 where they had dinner with a Tongyeong young man living in Sangsu-dong
and dinner with a Jeonju young man at the convenience store.
Will you eat a dinner where everything is fulfilled as said with us?
