(Radio Star, the backstreet of variety shows)
(The 4 men who want to dominate the dark world)
(I thought we could have the viewers by doing this.)
(The feisty men are on Radio Star.)
(They prepared cute acts, stunt acts, model walk, and dance.)
(I was bleeding a lot.)
(I liked it very much.)
(How dare you? That's cute.)
(Shin Sung Rok, the confused, oldest guest)
(You have the face for good fortune.)
(Will I make a lot of money, physiognomist?)
(You shouldn't rely on good luck you were born with.)
(Kang Hong Seok, the commander with a pretty smile)
(Ho Won is very funny.)
(He reacted enthusiastically to whatever I said.)
(He was never funny.)
(Son Dong Woon and Lee Ho Won, the youngest guests)
(The oldest host Gook Jin tries to protect Radio Star.)
(I'll buy you fired chicken.)
(Hey, stop it.)
(Shaking in fear)
(I'm going to do it again.)
(They're perfect guests for Radio Star.)
(That's really nice.)
("I Thought I Could Make You Laugh" begins now.)
I thought we could have the viewers by doing this.
You are my viewers.
We need to get two-digit ratings again soon.
Why did you cut off like that? He imitated the actor.
- I did it because it was awkward. - Gosh.
I thought I could become mature because I'll turn 50 next year.
- What's that? - I know what they are.
I know how to speak like a teenager these days.
- It was your voice at the end. - I know that too.
Dear Ms. Kim Bu Seon.
Did you think you could have me like that?
I got phone calls from reporters.
- I just... - To say you two look good together?
I just texted them to tell them to wait longer for good news.
(Don't misunderstand. We're just good friends.)
(He sighs even before starting.)
- I bet you didn't watch this drama. - Right. How should I do this?
Did you think I wouldn't come back as a host after this one time?
Was it okay?
- He has never heard the line. - It's not like that.
- That's not how you say it. - Did you think this would be over?
- It's funnier as he doesn't know. - "Did you think..."
I'm aiming to get the position of a regular host.
- All right. Our today's guests... - He has no idea.
Are you all shaking because of us?
You have nothing to worry about. We'll help you stand out.
Don't be nervous. This is a high-end talk show, Radio Star.
(Radio Star)
Our today's special MC is John Park.
- John is here. - Hello. It's nice to meet you all.
- It's nice to meet you too. - I heard...
that you never thought you would get the offer for a special MC.
- Only funny stars get to do this. - That's not true.
Seeing that you even contacted me,
- I thought you were desperate. - No.
It may be time for us to find a host seeing that even John is here.
I'm aiming to get this position.
However, thank you for inviting me.
You thought you could do better than the previous special MC, right?
Gook Jin, that's enough. Stop it.
You thought you could do better than Jung Joon Young.
The last time I came on Radio Star,
I was sitting in that seat, and Joon Young was the special MC.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- He didn't talk much. - I see.
He just asked a few questions.
So I thought I could do that much.
We invited four stars who want both laughter and success.
Today's theme is "I Thought I Could Make You Laugh".
A cheating husband, a psychopath, and a sociopath.
He worked hard to play all kinds of evil characters,
but what brought him fame was an emoticon character.
When he touches his ring,
his eyes look like the character. Actor Shin Sung Rok.
Shin Sung Rok.
Gi Kwang is a better dancer, Jun Hyung is a better musician,
Du Jun is a better entertainer, and Yo Seop is cuter than him.
He tries too hard to look cute. The youngest member who looks older.
Son Dong Woon of Highlight.
(Be mine)
- What was that? - Infinite.
- Infinite. - Infinite?
That's what he sang, but he ended up...
being left alone.
He changed his stage name as he would start anew.
From Hoya to Lee Ho Won.
- He's called an avenger. - Lee Ho Won.
Lee Ho Won.
He's eager to make people laugh, but who are you?
He needs to let people know his face first.
"I'm quite famous as a musical actor."
Musical actor Kang Hong Seok.
- Kang Hong Seok. - Welcome.
Please come in.
It's nice to meet you.
Hi, Sung Rok.
- It's nice to meet you. - Dong Woon, that's too revealing.
- We could see his belly. - It's too revealing.
- He looks so sexy. - It's too revealing.
You have no chest muscles.
- That's not true. - I don't see any...
- I have chest muscles. - Do you?
- Yes. - That's too revealing.
We could see his belly button if he undoes one more button.
I'll undo my buttons if things don't go well on the show.
Welcome, everyone. Please say hello to the viewers.
Sung Rok... Sung Rok, you go first.
What's wrong with your diction today?
"Sung Rok, you go first."
- I had a tooth removed. - Oh, that's why.
- Did you? - No wonder he spoke with a lisp.
- Did you get a dental implant? - No. I just had it pulled out.
Do we need all of the teeth?
- That's ridiculous. - We don't...
- I can see that. - It's swollen a bit here.
- That's right. - I went to the dentist before.
People don't have a tooth removed without a reason.
I did it for no reason.
(He lost his mind along with his tooth.)
Sung Rok, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. It's been a while. I'm Shin Sung Rok.
- Shin Sung Rok. - Welcome.
- Dong Woon. - Hello.
I'm Son Dong Woon of Highlight.
He's a member of Highlight.
Your group members help you a lot.
They always tell the staff that he deserves a regular cast member.
That's how they help him.
- No way. They wouldn't do that. - It's true.
- They try hard to help him. - That's not true.
Let's talk about this later.
- We're talking about it right now. - Why would we talk later?
- They take good care of him. - Why would you stop him?
- Ho Won, please say hello. - Ho Won.
Hello. I think this is my first time on Radio Star. It's good to be here.
Is Ho Won your real name? Or is it a new stage name?
Lee Ho Won is my real name. Hoya was my childhood nickname.
My friends and people around me...
still call me Hoya.
- You're from Gyeongsang Province. - Does it show?
Yes. Your friends call you "Hoya, Hoya." Like this, right?
- That's right. - Why only Gyeongsang Province?
- People in other areas do that too. - "Jin, Jin."
- That's right. "Jina, Jina." - I was called Shina as a child.
- Exactly. - "Shina, Shina."
- "Johna, Johna." - Right.
You don't really have to do this.
- Johna sounds weird. - "Johna, Johna."
You still have the accent as well.
He noticed it immediately. I was surprised.
People from Gyeongsang Province can't seem to lose the accent.
- It's hard. - Kang Ho Dong thinks he did.
(I perfectly speak standard Korean.)
Hong Seok, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. This is my first time on the show. I'm Kang Hong Seok.
- Welcome. - Kang Hong Seok.
We have no information about him.
However, as a musical actor,
- he's very popular. - Right.
- All right. Sung Rok. - Did you star in any movies?
I made my debut through the movie, "Rough Cut".
- It's directed by Jang Hoon. - That's right.
- It's my debut film. - Did you play a thug?
I played Ji Sub's younger brother.
Recently, I played in "Manhole" and "Chicago Typewriter".
- You have good-looking ears. - Thank you.
- My mom says they bring good luck. - Your mother did?
You have the face for good luck. Your ears and jawline look great.
- I like his jawline. - You have a similar jawline.
- He just has the same jawline. - That's not why I said it.
- That brings good luck. - Look at his jawline.
- He has the jawline for good luck. - Will I make a lot of money?
Well, I don't know that much.
- You should work hard. - Right. You should work hard.
You shouldn't rely on good luck you were born with.
- I'll always do my best. - That's good.
Sung Rok.
You came on the show today to help the other guests stand out.
I was the youngest guest every time I was here.
I just answered your questions, and you made the show fun.
- However, today, - That's right.
- I'm the oldest guest. - They're all younger than you.
Also, this is Hong Seok's first time on a variety show.
He felt so pressured. For the past few days,
he kept saying that he was nervous.
He asked if we should make up stories to tell on the show.
I'm worried about him because he's very nervous.
I met Ho Won and Dong Woon for the first time.
- I think they'll do well. - They have a lot of experience.
I think he's pressured because he's like a leader of this group.
Meanwhile, Dong Woon had been waiting to be on Radio Star.
- I waited for this moment so long. - Why?
- Kyu Hyun left about a year ago. - That's right.
- It's been 6 or 7 months. - It hasn't been a year.
There were news articles...
- about the next host. - The next Kyu Hyun.
- There were four candidates. - Is that so?
And I saw my name among them.
- You're one of the candidates. - I was a special MC before.
That's right.
I had waited for your offer ever since,
but a year passed.
It hasn't been a year. It's been 6 or 7 months.
It felt like a year for me.
In fact, Dong Woon asked me...
about my opinion on the next host.
So I tried to convince the staff...
- to cast him for the youngest host. - I see.
However, they won't cast you just because I recommended you.
It's sad. However, he texted me as if he was certain of it.
- It wasn't like that. - What did he say to you?
He texted me, "Dong Woon, prepare yourself."
That's what he said.
So I've been waiting for the past year.
He doesn't have the authority to make that decision.
- But... - He can only recommend you.
He felt a lot like Kyu Hyun when I saw him for the first time.
- So I strongly recommended him. - Right.
When I recommend someone...
and don't get any positive response, it hurts my feelings too.
- I thought... - Don't say such a thing.
- That's why I didn't tell him that. - I mean...
- You're hurting his feelings. - Button up.
- You shouldn't say that. - I know...
that I didn't do very well as a special MC.
However, they gave Kyu Hyun five years.
Why did they give me only one chance?
So I'm very disappointed.
If I push too hard, they might think we have a dark connection.
(I'll wait for my chance.)
Ho Won, how long have you been working alone?
- It's been between 1 and 2 months. - Did you join an agency?
- I joined an agency. - An actors' agency?
No, I'm planning to continue my singing career too.
- You should do the both. - I will.
Didn't your group members stop you from leaving the group?
- Didn't they stop you? - It wasn't like that.
We had had a lot of conversations for a long time...
- Between your group members? - since early this year.
They already knew what I wanted at that point.
The future I wanted and the future the company wanted...
- were different. - They were different.
The contract ended at the right time.
"I will go my own way."
Yes, I went my own way.
In a radio program last year,
you said you can't imagine living without the members.
- It was before he left. - I guess people say that a lot.
Unimaginable things come true.
- That's right. - That's right.
(Embarrassed)
Perhaps you aren't very imaginative.
I lack creativity.
(He gives up trying to defend himself.)
Kang Hong Seok is the rising star in the musical scene.
You couldn't sleep for a week after an invitation from Radio Star.
I couldn't sleep a wink because I was so excited.
- For an entire week? - Is it insomnia?
- I exaggerated. - You exaggerated, right?
Haven't you watched the movie, "Insomnia"?
Al Pacino dies in the end.
Here is the fact. I slept two hours a day.
- I see. - Seriously.
Radio Star is a program I enjoy watching.
The honor to be on such program made me very happy.
Were your acquaintances happy?
Yes, they were. My mother was very happy.
My mother, father, and wife... I am married.
- You are married. - How old are you?
Legally, I am 32 years old.
Socially, I live as a 33-year-old since I was born in January.
People must pick on you regarding the matter.
- Yes. - Is he around your age?
- Sung Rok is much older. - I was born in 1982.
He is old.
He isn't that old.
(Don't make a fuss.)
If you hadn't slept for a week,
you must have thought about this and that.
Is there a guest you want to resemble?
Among my friends is Seo Hyun Cheol.
- I had worked with his father. - It won't be easy to be like him.
It will be terribly hard.
Then I saw Yu Jun Sang's burning spirits.
Even if I am not funny, I will show my passionate spirits.
Don't spend the entire shoot building up your character.
- Think carefully. - That's why I will remain...
- natural. - Don't change it in the middle.
- I will show my fiery spirits. - Your burning spirits.
That's right.
John, did you prepare something?
I prepared the articles...
- about the guests. - We should take a look.
- The first one is Sung Rok. - All right.
- All right. - He looks like he has a toothache.
A toothache!
(Aching)
Do you have a problem with your jaw?
- Didn't they tell you it's awkward? - I strike that pose...
when I get photographed for an interview...
and run out of ideas.
(He doesn't have many poses.)
- I run out of ideas. - It's a common pose.
Despite being common, the pose looks strange...
- because he has big hands. - He has very big hands.
He has big hands and a small face.
It makes him look like...
- a monkey that scratches its face. - He is tall, too.
He looks a bit like a monkey.
It's because he has big hands.
Look at that. He has big hands.
Dong Woon and Ho Won should teach him different poses.
- You are good at that. - Poses?
What's your representative pose?
He poses cutely.
(Dong Woon poses cutely.)
These days...
Don't you pose cutely these days?
I thought it would change my life.
Why would that change your life?
Don't you think you were too ambitious?
I thought it would change my life.
Posing cutely?
On "Real Men",
the guest stars became popular through the smallest things.
That's what I wanted.
You wanted to be like Hye Ri.
(Thank you...)
(Say it properly.)
(Stop crying.)
(You are so mean.)
(Hye Ri's cute act...)
(makes the soldier smile.)
- That's why I posed cutely. - With Hye Ri, there is a story.
- There is a story. - There was an army instructor.
- Posing cutely isn't enough. - It really isn't.
Show us your cute pose.
(It's out of the blue.)
(He suddenly starts.)
- This is it. - That's...
- There is no story. - I know.
- You need to come up with a story. - Even without a story,
- it's funny. - It's funny.
Even without a story, it's nice.
I can tell why Dong Woon thinks it doesn't need a story.
Your catchphrase was, "Hello?" It's out of the blue, too.
That wasn't the only catchphrase. There also was, "Oh, my goodness."
(I had another catchphrase.)
It's out of the blue.
"Don't stay up all night."
He had the best timing.
It's all about timing.
(Life is all about timing.)
- Let's see the next one. - This one is...
- for Dong Woon. - Dong Woon.
- This is funny. - This is funny.
- It made me burst out laughing. - This could change...
- your life. - Really?
- This could change your life. - I am serious.
It's this one.
(Dong Woon rolled up the window after waving at his fans.)
- You can see it, right? - His hair got stuck, right?
- Yes. - Is that his hair?
- Yes, his hair got stuck. - His hair got stuck.
Since the fans were outside, I waved and rolled up the window.
- However, my hair got stuck. - Did your fans know?
I don't think they knew at the time.
It was embarrassing.
I didn't want to roll down the window again.
- You must have stayed like this. - I stayed like this for 10 seconds.
Since I had to remove my hair, I rolled down the window...
and waved at the fans again.
In this kind of a situation,
an overeager fan would have cut the hair.
(He is speaking nonsense.)
- My goodness. - Let's move on.
This one is for Dong Woon, too.
This idol singer needs to be the MC.
- He stands here all the time. - He stands here all the time.
He is here.
(Find Dong Woon.)
He is here. He is incredible.
The pictures look like they were photoshopped.
I have done that for 5 to 6 years.
That's right.
I first started doing that for the fans.
Seeing a collection of those pictures made me...
- feel good. - I see,
- I still do it. - You still do it.
- You still do it. - I stand between the MCs.
- I only do it on a KBS music show. - I see.
The KBS music show changes up the MCs...
once in a while.
I am waiting for an opportunity.
I always let my interest known,
but they never contact me.
- This one is for Ho Won. - Ho Won.
(Curious)
The third member of Yoon Du Jun lookalikes, Ho Won.
- Yoon Du Jun lookalikes. - Yoon Du Jun lookalikes.
These are the pictures.
These are four different celebrities.
- Really? - They look the same, right?
- I thought it was the same person. - Let's take a look.
- This one is Yoon Du Jun. - Yes.
- They look alike. - Yoon Du Jun.
- Who is this? - Sandeul.
- Sandeul. - Really?
- This one is Ho Won. - Ho Won.
- Who is this? - Xiumin of Exo.
Really?
- Why do they look different now? - Seriously.
(Their looks diverged in the end.)
This is how they grew up.
Aren't these two people the same?
- They looked like good students. - You are right.
(Laughing)
- The username made me laugh. - What is it?
It's Not Your Fault.
(It's Not Your Fault.)
I have a question. Why do all idol singers have bangs?
Bangs?
No one pulls his hair back.
I often pull my hair back.
Fans tend to prefer...
- a neat hairstyle with bangs. - They like bangs.
They like it when we wear a shirt or a suit.
- That's right. - Yes.
A shirt.
- They don't like unique looks. - I am sure they will like this.
(Don't speak nonsense.)
- You know, - I am sure they will like this.
I think it's eccentric.
I don't think the fans like looks that are too manly.
They want boyish looks.
That's why I think Moon Hee Jun is incredible.
(It came out of the blue.)
He tried different hairstyles when he was an idol.
He had a mop-like hair once. I think Moon Hee Jun is incredible.
It's unfortunate that you lack the adventurous spirit.
(He is speaking nonsense.)
We will try harder.
(Please wait.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the four stars who seek a sense of humor and popularity.
"I Thought I Could Make You Laugh" begins now.
The four of you held a meeting upon getting invited to Radio Star.
In "Sandglass",
we don't have a lot of scenes together.
Each of us has a separate episode.
It's not like we were friends before either.
The scriptwriters asked us to share a funny moment,
but we didn't have any. We decided to come up with one.
- Did you come up with one? - Hong Seok called for a meeting.
He suggested that we talk over soju.
It looks like the meeting wasn't successful.
We did eat together.
Hong Seok and I ate together.
Dong Woon left to practice for a concert.
Ho Won left for a shoot of a drama.
Only the two of us were left.
(They had a meeting by themselves.)
My goodness.
Who has the same role? The two of you...
The two of us have the same role.
Sung Rok plays the role Choi Min Soo played.
I play the role Jung Sung Mo played.
- I see. - I play Lee Jong Do.
- Really? - That's the role you play.
Who plays the role Park Sang Won played?
- Park Gun Hyung does. - Park Gun Hyung.
- Park Gun Hyung. - Park Gun Hyung.
In front of Park Gun Hyung, you will say, "Am I trembling?"
- Do you sing the line? - We are still working on it.
We have tried taking it out. We are trying different things.
It will be interesting if it comes with a melody.
When we met for the first time and had a read-through,
Choi Min Soo's line came up.
"I thought I could have you this way."
- That line! - That line came up.
We had been having a read-through with seriousness for two hours.
When the line came up, everyone burst out laughing.
Since the line is too famous,
- it makes the musical funny. - It's a cliche.
- What did you do? - Did you take out the line?
- Did you change the line? - "You are mine."
Did you change the line?
Originally, it went, "I didn't do it because I was upset or victimized."
"I have never thought of taking revenge."
"Don't you get it? I did it to have you."
"I thought I could have you this way."
That's the original line.
(Choi Min Soo, 20 years ago)
(Ko Hyun Jung, 20 years ago)
(Tough)
(Don't you get it?)
(I thought I would be able to have you this way.)
(How did this line change?)
It's the most important line.
"I have never thought of taking revenge."
"I did it to have you."
That's where it ends.
The famous line has to be delivered in Choi Min Soo's voice.
That line was delivered by many people...
- on different occasions. - It was parodied too often.
That line is a meaningful part...
of the drama...
along with "Am I trembling?"
I can't believe it was taken out.
How did you change "Am I trembling?"
Am I trembling?
(How was this famous line reinvented?)
- You say the line, right? - I sing the line...
so that it carries the feelings it did in the drama.
- Am I trembling? - Am I trembling?
(Do you sing it like this?)
In the musical "Sandglass",
- Sung Rok plays Tae Soo. - Yes.
It was a role that was played by Choi Min Soo.
You were in a drama with him.
Did you get any advice from him?
- We were in "Man Who Dies to Live". - "Man Who Dies to Live".
I joined "Sandglass" while the drama was ongoing,
so I told Choi Min Soo.
When I told him,
he looked at me like this.
It was like, "Who? You?"
"How can you play the role I had?"
I heard his thought and said,
"You did such a fantastic job of playing this character..."
"that I don't know how I will manage."
"Be yourself."
"You have the right image." He told me that.
It gave me strength.
- I didn't know what to do. - "Do what you think is right."
- Did you invite him? - Yes, I did.
- Will he come? - Yes.
It will feel strange...
if Min Soo is watching from the front row.
He will be the scariest member of the audience.
(I am watching you.)
Everyone talked about the first impression of Sung Rok.
How was his first impression?
Upon the first look,
he is manly.
He is manly and tall.
- He used to play sports. - That's right.
I found out later...
that among his acquaintances,
he is known as a crybaby.
- Crybaby? - Does he cry?
He cries often.
- Does he cry next to you? - During the run-through,
I was watching his performance.
At first,
he laughed as he played a prank.
I told him not to laugh.
Then I heard a sniff.
When I looked at him,
he wasn't simply crying,
but bawling...
from watching the performance.
- It was incredible. - When he cries,
he twists his body to hold back his tears.
(Shaking)
(Joking)
Sung Rok, you said Hong Seok's first impression was memorable.
He is big-boned.
- He looks that way. - He is big-boned.
I am big-boned.
I don't usually feel...
intimidated by others.
I thought to myself, "It will hurt a lot..."
- "if he punches me." - You are big-boned.
Even in childhood, I was big.
Did you work out when you were young?
No, I didn't.
I was very big. I weighed 140kg.
- Really? - You weighed 140kg.
- 140kg. - Yes.
I acquired this body when I went on a diet.
How long did it take for you to lose weight?
I lost 40kg in 4 months.
- Four months? - When you were chubby,
you resembled Park Kwang Deok.
- That's right. - You resembled him.
- That's right. - Park Kwang Deok.
- Right? - Yes, I did.
They both have cute looks.
You didn't play ssireum.
No, I didn't.
When I was young, my mother ran a hamburger franchise branch.
Which one? Lotteria?
No. It started with a B.
It's a franchise that was popular in the countryside.
- Starts with a B? - What's the exact name?
Buy Clock.
- Buy Clock. - I am from Gwangju.
Is it a franchise that was popular there?
- Yes. - I have never heard of it.
I had heard of other franchises, but not this one.
Back then,
I ate 1 hamburger and 1 chicken a day.
Really?
- They are delicious. - Of course they are.
Did you eat them every day?
- I ate them almost every day. - You ate one chicken a day.
Most mothers would have gone, "Stop eating."
- Your mother couldn't do that. - I had a big appetite.
I still do.
Since I had a big appetite, my mother let me be.
When a deep-fried a chicken...
in fifth grade,
my mother just sighed.
- You deep-fried it yourself. - Yes, I did.
- You cooked to eat. - Yes, I did.
When I had a birthday party,
my friends loved it.
- Of course they did. - Of course they did.
- They loved the food. - There was...
a lot of food. When I invited six friends,
my mom prepared 6 chickens and 10 hamburgers.
I am impressed they had one chicken each at that age.
In sixth grade,
I weighed over 90kg.
I was very big.
You were always big.
I was always big. Then I appeared in a movie...
and lost 40kg before I joined the army.
I enlisted when I weighed 80kg.
Did your mother make a lot of money with a hamburger franchise branch?
I don't think she did.
You ate everything.
(He cleared the chicken before the customers arrived.)
Is it your first time hearing this story?
- Yes, it is. - I think it's my first time.
You should have talked about this during the meeting.
- We should have. - It wasn't much of a meeting.
- It wasn't much of a meeting. - Seriously.
It was a funny story.
- Really? - Yes, it was funny.
What did you eat together?
- We had suyuk. - We had suyuk...
- and soju. - Soju.
We had a second round in a chicken restaurant.
You went to a chicken restaurant.
I love chicken.
- You love it. - Isn't it hard to stay fit?
I work out a lot...
after I eat a lot.
- He called me this morning. - What did he say?
"To look skinny today,"
"I went without food all day..."
"and worked out for five hours."
(Laughing)
- He didn't eat chicken. - He worked hard.
I have the burning spirit.
His mother used to run a hamburger franchise branch.
Do you still crave for chicken?
I eat chicken twice a week.
Really?
I don't get tired of chicken...
even if I have it for lunch and dinner.
I have tried chicken from all brands.
These days, there is a Cheetos-flavored chicken.
That's right.
He is an expert.
He should have visited "The Geeks".
Seriously.
It's unfortunate.
(Chicken is always the right choice.)
Sung Rok, for how long have you been married?
- A little over a year. - I see.
How old is your daughter?
She is nearing her first birthday.
He has only been married for a year.
Did you think his daughter would be five years old?
Did you think his daughter would be in school?
Of course she isn't a year old yet.
Some people get pregnant before marriage.
You said only you would find your daughter pretty...
if you were to speak objectively.
When she was born,
I thought she was like a fairy.
She was so pretty.
I said she is prettier than anyone in the world.
You didn't compare her to other babies back then.
- "I did it." My friends praised me. - "She is perfect."
"You succeeded."
I was very proud of myself.
When I look at her now...
and the pictures that were taken when she was a newborn,
I am embarrassed that I said those things.
When you show a picture of your child,
see if the person hesitates for a second or longer.
That means she isn't pretty.
Let's say the others say,
"She is so pretty!" That means she is pretty.
Some babies are like that.
(It's an obvious reaction.)
"She looks nice."
You shouldn't say that to a baby.
- That's just wrong. - People react half-heartedly.
- "She is cute." - Most people say that.
- That doesn't mean anything. - People pause for a second.
What do the others say when you show them the picture?
- She is cute, - "She is cute."
(She is a fairy in his eyes.)
Dong Woon and Ho Won play Jae Hee in the musical,
which was a role Lee Jung Jae had.
The role made Lee Jung Jae a star.
- The character does kendo. - Yes.
- Did it the same in the musical? - Yes.
The character uses a bamboo sword.
That should be the same.
They look very cool.
- They are very talented. - With his role in "Sandglass",
Lee Jung Jae stole every young woman's heart.
Who is cooler between the two of them?
- Both of them are cool. - Okay.
Because they used to be idol singers,
they memorized the steps...
- very quickly. - Of course they did.
I was very surprised.
They are the best dancers of the era.
- Both of them... - "The best dancers of the era".
That sounds ridiculous.
They were amazing.
After they went over the steps once or twice,
they said, "I can do it." Then they really did it.
I would like to see the kendo scene.
- The kendo scene? - Yes.
- Is there a sword? - There must be a sword.
It will be added later with computer graphics.
Your character saves Ko Hyun Jung's character.
- There is a scene like that. - Dong Woon will go.
You will add the sword with computer graphics, right?
Pretend to take the sword from the sky.
- My goodness. - Take the sword from the sky.
It's a bit like "Star Wars".
It's a bit like that.
(Confident)
Please add a person later to every space I hit.
They will do that.
I fight against 12 people.
- You fight your way through them. - Yes.
All right.
(Dong Woon fights against 12 people.)
1, 2, 3.
(The fight scene looks a bit awkward.)
- 5. - 5.
I dodge an attack. Six.
I attack another assailant.
This is how I fight against 12 men.
I dodge an attack.
(It's a bloody battle against the moles.)
Then...
(He hammers carefully.)
That's how I fight against 12 men.
Let's have Ho Won act out the same scene.
Let's have Ho Won act out the same scene. I am curious.
- It's a party. - We need to compare the two.
We will add computer graphics.
Throw me the sword.
You have too much faith in Radio Star.
(The computer graphics team has too much work.)
They have too much faith.
(Nimble)
(His movements are neat.)
(He fights as if he is dancing.)
All right.
It looks cool if there are other actors.
- The moves are planned out. - Yes.
I would be like, "Line up."
I would do that.
They are people, not candles.
"Line up, 12 of you."
It became a meme.
(He hit the candles like a king.)
(Is this how he will handle a fight scene?)
What in the world are you doing?
"Line up."
(He will kill with a single blow.)
Why don't you act out eating 12 chickens at once?
Eat a chicken. Eat a chicken.
These days,
- he is trying too hard. - He became experimental.
He became experimental.
Eat 6 hamburgers...
- and 6 chickens. - The strike changed him.
- 6 hamburgers and 6 chickens. - That's right.
- All right. - How will you do that?
All right.
(He tries hard.)
You don't have to do that.
- He's getting old now. - What's wrong with him?
He's losing it. He just had a tooth pulled out.
- How am I going to work with him? - It's not that.
- He's not the same today. - He changed a lot.
He does eat them with zest.
Gook Jin, I think you're bleeding a lot today.
This one is about Dong Woon. At that time, Lee Jung Jae...
- didn't have many lines. - He didn't.
Even that was the talk of the town.
Thank you.
(He kept his silence even when he got the property document.)
Do you really not have many lines?
No, I don't have that many lines. I fight in a lot of scenes I do.
- What's the most memorable one? - You silently protect her.
- Yes, that's actually... - What's the most memorable line?
- The most memorable line? - Yes.
The lead actress comes out of a police station in this scene.
I cover her with my jacket.
I say, "It's cold. Let's go inside."
- Is that it? - This is the memorable one.
- That's memorable? - Yes.
- You really don't have any lines? - The role Jung Jae played...
- just admired the lady. - Right.
- That's the role he played. - I must speak with my eyes.
- He doesn't talk much. - He shouldn't have many lines.
- I speak nonchalantly. - He can't sound unmanly.
- That's right. - He wouldn't sound manly with that.
He can't say things like "Why is it raining a lot?"
- What I mean is that... - "Use the umbrella" sounds odd too.
He can't say, "I can open and close the umbrella with one push."
Is that how you're going to do this today?
- No. - His character only admires...
- which is quite tragic. - He can't express his love.
You must not have any songs to perform either.
- I have my own songs. - He sings songs.
- I have 2. - He sings 2 songs.
When we bring that up, we mean to ask if you can sing us a few.
Would it be hard?
No, not at all. I can sing them.
You are
(This is the song of the bodyguard.)
(His sweet voice seems to have...)
(hypnotized him.)
(You're the only reason of my existence so far)
(It is to protect the love of his life.)
- It goes something like this. - Do you sing it as you're dying?
Yes, I sing it when people beat me up, and I'm on the floor.
- It looks quite sorrowful. - I can only imagine.
You're singing as they beat you up, and you're on the floor?
Yes, there are some actions during the performance.
Do you know "The Naked Gun" from the old days?
O. J. Simpson was in the ward and bumped himself into the walls.
- Do you know the film? - Yes.
It's the era's masterpiece.
He even falls back when he sits on something hot.
- He did that. - I know.
- That's the masterpiece of the era. - When he even dies in the film...
- after getting a shot... - Exactly. Right.
- Gook Jin knows the film. - "I scratched it."
(Gook Jin's condition is getting more intense.)
- Hong Seok, during the audition, - Yes?
you heard that you got the part as soon as you walked in?
Yes. I played Lee Jong Do which is the role Jung Sung Mo played.
- He's the muscle man. - He's a gangster, right?
Right. Since I play the gangster,
I wore a black outfit. When I walked in,
I said, "I'm here!" as I tried to sound strong.
The director stood up and said, "You got the part."
- That really happened? - Yes.
- That's what he did. - "I'll give you a chicken."
I actually knew the director.
- I... - He's obsessed with that now.
If we were by ourselves, it would've caused a fight. "Stop it, you jerk!"
- "You are too mean." - "Do you want a chicken?"
Let's enjoy your chicken later.
(He just chuckles.)
- Hong Seok has a great face. - He does.
- But when he plays the villain, - But he has strong features.
- I bet he might look different. - Can you show us your evil face?
Tell Gook Jin to cut it out.
- "Stop talking about the chicken." - Say something like "Cut it out!"
Okay. You.
Stop it.
I'm going to do it again!
- Look at this. Look at me. - I bet Gook Jin is...
- He's in a dangerous place. - Hey.
- People who love eating chicken... - You're playing with fire.
I'm telling you this from my experience. Be careful!
(He can't think straight.)
Hong Seok, I heard there was the happiest moment...
you had after losing weight.
When I was young, I used to go to school by bus.
- I was in high school. - Did you grow up in Gwangju?
No, I was born in Gangnam, Seoul.
- What a surprise. - Really?
- I'm from Gangnam, Seoul. - But how...
My dad ran a factory manufacturing organs and relocated the factory.
- He made organs? - Yes, he worked with my granddad.
- Is that so? - Yes.
We moved to Gwangju because of the factory.
- Did he manufacture reed organs? - No, he manufactured organs.
- He made pipe organs. - I see.
Those are crazy expensive.
- He made pipe organs? - Gosh.
Yes, he manufactured pipe organs.
- Did your father own Youngchang? - No, it wasn't that big.
We were not that rich.
Youngchang? Don't forget Samik.
- Please continue. - When he moved the factory,
we lived in Gwangju, and I had to commute by bus.
- To Gangnam? - No, to Bundang.
- Bundang? - I went to Kaywon Arts High School.
- Really? - I used to take the bus.
Since I have a big build, no one would sit next to me on the bus.
When that happens, this is what I think.
When no one sits next to you, that must've hurt you.
Didn't you ever think of standing up on the bus?
That's worse for other passengers.
When I stand up, I sweat.
- That makes others feel uneasy. - If you were to...
If you were to weigh 140kg with your looks now,
- people might get the wrong idea. - I agree.
At that point of my life, I loved hip hop.
- I wore a big necklace. - Oh, dear.
Hang on. I don't think your weight had anything to do with it.
- Your dad made organs. - It wasn't about your weight.
People might be scared of you when you wear big necklaces.
- No wonder why no one sat near you. - I actually liked black musicians.
- I wore big earrings too. - I didn't know that.
- So people were intimidated. - So your ears looked stretched.
(He blurts out anything from his stream of consciousness.)
- Please go on. - So that's how it was like.
After I lose weight, my friends,
ladies, and other men sat next to me.
It was thrilling and felt good when they did.
Do you remember the very first person who sat next to you?
- The very first person? - "Thank you."
"Thank you." "For what?"
- He probably felt grateful. - They sat next to him.
I don't think that's how I acted,
but it felt really good.
- It was refreshing. - I didn't know his dad made organs.
I've never seen a family who made organs.
- I've never seen one either. - Did you know about his family?
- It's my first time hearing it. - He didn't know.
- What have you been talking about? - When you had meals...
Is there a name-brand?
- I think there is. - What is it?
The name of your mom's burger joint starts with B. How about your dad's?
Running a chicken restaurant and an organ factory...
- don't go well together. - Why not?
Why wouldn't they?
- It starts with R. - With R?
- Do you know the brand? - No.
(Thanks to him, he learned something about organs.)
All right. This is quite a sensitive topic...
for Dong Woon and Ho Won.
- 1 of 6 members dropped out. - Yes, that's right.
There were six members in his group, but he dropped out.
- There were 7 at first. - There were 7, but he dropped out.
- Now, Highlight changed the agency. - That's where they stand now.
You talked about this kind of things at practices, right?
Yes. For this musical,
both of us play the same character.
We ate meals together for a month. We talked about that a lot.
- How old are you guys? - We are of the same age.
- You are of the same age? - Were you close before the project?
In what way are you compatible with each other?
He's really funny.
One of the cast members is Son Jong Hak.
He's been acting for a long time, and we address him as our teacher.
But this is his first musical.
But he's been an actor for a long time.
This musical is the first musical for Ho Won and Jong Hak.
He said that they were both newbies in musicals.
- He was joking. - Yes, it was a joke.
- That's good though. - I thought he was...
funnier than I first thought.
Did your group set up its own agency or signed with another agency?
- We set up our own company. - They started their own company.
- Is Highlight the only group? - Yes. We are...
thinking of signing with independent bands.
That's what we've been thinking.
Do you have equal shares of the company?
Yes. When we put together all of our shares,
- we have 51 percent of the shares. - 51 percent.
Which member makes the most amount of money?
- I think it's probably Du Jun. - Du Jun.
Since they started an agency together,
when Du Jun makes a lot of money, it's good for him.
- Right. It goes to the company. - It benefits everyone.
- Don't worry about me. - He makes Jang Hoon work a lot.
I was going to make Jang Hoon shoot a few more shows today.
He makes Jang Hoon work like a dog.
I told the team to make him work until he gets shorter.
Our expenses...
come from the money we make.
For example, we'd neglect the water bottles after taking a few sips.
You feel different about expenses now that you own a company, right?
We end up not finishing the whole bottle.
- We spent a lot of money on water. - Did you write your names on them?
- We started writing our names. - Well done.
- We must finish 1st one before 2nd. - Good job.
That's why when I go to another agency, I take water from there.
Actually, let me be honest.
That's why I take home the water bottles from the dressing room...
these days.
- I also... - Let me elaborate.
I need to drink water anyway. I don't boil water at home.
I prefer bottled water to water from the purifier. So I take them home.
(Everyone tries to take care of Gu Ra.)
- Okay. - Take this.
Got it.
(We'll give you the leftover water bottles today.)
It says Dong Woon works at his company. He works...
- in recruitment for new singers. - He's a shareholder now.
- That explains your interest. - This is...
When I'm watching TV,
I spot a few singers who I think will make it in this industry.
For example, when Suzy made her debut,
I thought she was pretty and would do well in this profession.
There are a few of those, and they all...
- Did you say Suzy? - Yes.
Well, everyone thought Suzy would be successful in this profession.
- It was a long time ago. - You saw her and thought...
- she would do well. - She's in a different league now.
It's the same as hearing YB band and complimenting on their music.
- No, it's not like that. - If so, that's not significant.
When you cultivate new singers, you must recognize things others can't.
- You can help singers just debuted. - I agree.
In that case, I wanted to help Seventeen.
(He wants to help Seventeen.)
Seventeen already put themselves on the map. What do you mean?
I wanted to help Seventeen a long time ago.
- I really like them as artists too. - The purpose of my question was...
to ask you to single out singers you think will be popular next.
Right. I like Seventeen among male groups.
Among girl groups,
I've been paying attention to...
- Gugudan, Se Jeong's group. - Right now, Gugudan is also...
- Se Jeong is in it. - Right.
- Se Jeong's group. - Right now, Gugudan is also...
- Se Jeong is in it. - Right.
- Aren't they really popular? - They are.
They're popular.
It just means that he likes Gugudan.
- Multiplication table is famous. - Among the members...
(He makes a pun with its name.)
What is your job in the new talent development department?
- While I watch TV... - You're just evaluating everyone?
That's right. I just think some of them have real shots at this.
He's watching a TV show and says, "He's going to make it."
(New Talent Development Department)
But I should take a step farther than this though.
I get it. Your job is to compliment the singers.
- Yes, sure. - That's your job, isn't it?
- Do you only compliment them? - You say things like "He's funny."
I used to talk about the possibility of fostering new singers.
Well, I tried to make it work,
but what I need right now...
is time to improve myself.
- Instead of helping new singers? - Right.
I didn't get to look back on my career.
(He gives a regretful smile.)
Ho Won, you said that your teacher of variety shows is...
- Jong Shin. You said that. - Really? Why?
- When I just started out... - We were on "Director's Cut".
- Right. - Didn't we go to Gyeongju?
We did. I was nervous to be filming.
Jong Shin told us when to start talking...
- and sing a song. - I see.
- He gave us a lot of advice. - He took care of you.
Infinite and Ho Won were the main cast members of the show.
- Didn't we do a project together? - Yes, we did.
It was a pageant to select Miss Raccoon.
- You didn't give us advice at all. - Wait.
- At that time... - What was the show about?
- Well, at that time... - A pageant for Miss Raccoon?
We were filming the process of selecting Miss Raccoon.
- He was new to the industry. - That's right.
One of the nominees who tried to become Miss Raccoon was...
- Min Ah of Girl's Day. - That suits her.
- You remember it, right? - That's right.
- I did a lot. I danced... - You did.
- Among other things. - Miss Raccoon.
(Gu Ra was the judge.)
Ho Won, you said Hong Seok would be the funniest guy today.
Why did you pick him?
I don't think there was a time I thought he was funny...
when we were talking.
- I can see that. - Then why did you pick him?
I don't think he's the funny type.
- I'm not funny. - I figured.
You know those guys who are really serious, but cool?
He's like that,
but when we act together, he improvises lines. It's hilarious.
That's why I thought he'd be great today.
So what do you think so far?
- So far, - Ho Won.
he talked a lot,
but nothing was hilarious yet.
(He's the master of brutal comments.)
(He's joking.)
Sung Rok, I heard the cast of the musical went on a retreat together,
- Yes, we did. - but Park Gun Hyung said...
something before the retreat.
Some people can't make it because they have other engagements.
Back in the days,
he said, "Everyone must participate. No excuses."
But he changed a bit.
"If you don't come to the retreat,"
"it will be awkward when you act a scene with me."
- Was there anyone who didn't come? - These two didn't come.
(Dong Woon and Ho Won didn't join.)
- They didn't? - I had another engagement.
- That's out of your hands. - After the retreat, Gun Hyung...
put distance between us for a few days.
"Mr. Son, you're her."
He really did that.
What did he say to you, Ho Won?
"Mr. Lee, when can we be casual?"
(He's distant.)
- He makes you feel uncomfortable. - Right, but...
Dong Woon apologized, so it continued for several days,
but I said, "Perhaps, when the musical is over?"
(He made a witty reply.)
Then he smiled and started treating me casually.
He's going to be awesome at handling producers.
Ho Won, I heard that you take care of your health like an old man.
I take a lot of supplements.
- I take omega-3 supplements. - That's a must.
- How about vitamin C? - I take vitamin C and B.
- Don't forget propolis. - I spray that.
- Propolis. - I take red ginseng too.
I take deer antler extract liquid.
- You must have tons of supplements. - That's a lot.
- I have a separate bag in the car. - He must feel full after them.
- What about you, Sung Rok? - I take many supplements too.
When I work out... I'm not sure if this is an official term.
Was it called arginine?
- Arginine? What is that? - I haven't heard about that much.
- What is it? - Do you take iron pills too?
- No. - Iron pills.
- Do you? - Yes.
I take a lot of supplements. I take about 11 capsules.
(He feels proud of his supplements.)
So I set a goal.
It was to take 11 capsules without drinking water.
(This is Gu Ra's end of the year goal.)
- It's a challenge for me. - What if something happens to you?
No, I'll be fine. People who take a lot of supplements...
can swallow 11 pills with just one gulp of water.
- Don't be weird. - If not...
- I take a lot of supplements too. - You do take a lot as well.
When you swallow them, don't make noises like this.
Why do you do that?
(Groaning)
I swallow them like this.
Hong Seok put himself on the map with the musical, "Kinky Boots".
You lived in a cafe in order to research about your role?
I wanted to feel first-hand about women's behaviors and habits.
There are a lot of women at cafes, so I went there to observe,
especially women with high heels.
There were times I stayed there for six hours when I was researching.
I just stayed there.
- When you stayed for six hours, - I saw a lot of women.
didn't the owners glare at you?
I go to major cafes.
You know the four-storied cafes?
- Those cafes are crowded. - I spent 1 hour on the 1st floor.
I spent 1 hour on the 2nd floor and another on the 3rd floor.
- Do you get a refill for coffee? - No, he drinks three cups.
- I drink about 2 or 3 cups. - I knew it.
You all probably know this. When most of women drink,
they lift their pinky while grabbing the cup.
- Just like this? - I don't think a lot of them do.
I thought so too.
- What happened after the research? - 8 or 9 out of 10 ladies do this.
This was very surprising.
- I actually lift mine too. - Everyone...
- They do it like this, right? - Some feel awkward about it too.
- I even lift it when I drive. - Wait.
- I really do. This is how I drive. - Okay.
That became a habit of mine, so I lift mine when I drive too.
I lift it when I drink something too out of habit now.
- That's interesting. - When women wear heels,
most of them square their shoulders.
- It's the high heels. - Right.
They gently shake their waist when they walk.
They try to bring out the feminine side.
- Why don't you show us? - Jang Do Yeon walks like this.
- Show us an example. - Please do it in the front.
When they don't wear heels,
they walk like this.
- They lower their hands? - Yes.
They would have their bag...
and say, "Let's go, girls."
When they wear heels, they feel confident as they feel taller.
Say that they're like this. "Let's go, girls."
(His waist exudes confidence.)
They walk like this.
(I'm feeling great.)
They really do walk like this.
(He is indeed expressive.)
- I see. - Now, I'm sweating again.
(I was nervous.)
- You wipe it like a lady too. - I should lift my pinky too.
- He looks very gentle. - He moves like a lady.
You won the Best Actor Award with the musical.
- I did. I was really grateful. - Really?
- The Best Actor Award? - Yes.
- He's well-known in musicals. - He's already big in musicals.
We just don't know him that well.
I guess. So he's really famous in musicals?
- The Best Actor Award... - He's not that famous.
I wouldn't say that.
(He's too frank.)
- But he won the Best Actor Award... - However,
- he is one of the best actors. - Doesn't that make him famous?
I've been trying hard.
Did you cry when you delivered your acceptance speech?
Actually, I was disappointed.
The ceremony was to be held when Korea was in a political upheaval.
So the ceremony was cancelled.
I never got to deliver my acceptance speech.
- You received the award though. - Precisely.
- You didn't get to say your speech. - No one knew about it.
- People get it once in a lifetime. - Exactly.
- Since you're on TV, go ahead. - That's true.
Why don't you grab your water bottle as a trophy and deliver the speech.
Pretend you just received it.
(He's overwhelmed.)
Thank you.
I have never received an award in my life.
Tonight, I received an award for my role, Lola.
Next time, I'll win an award for the role, Lee Jong Do in "Sandglass".
Thank you!
That was opportunistic.
(Didn't it sound like a promotion?)
Why did you promote it?
- It was supposed to be touching. - He's calculative.
Exactly.
(The newbie is overly eager.)
Hong Seok, your sweating makes other actors more prone to make mistakes.
In the entertainment business, some celebrities sweat buckets.
They are Cho Hyoung Ki, Kim Joon Hyun,
- and myself. - You fit right in.
But how much do you sweat?
Let me tell you how much I sweat.
I played the role of Ryuk for "Death Note".
I had to paint my face white for the role,
- but when I painted my face, - Did it all come off?
the makeup was gone around Act 1, Scene 4 or 5.
- Because you sweated? - Yes.
That's how profusely I sweat.
I was standing in one of the scenes, but the sweat kept dripping.
I exited the stage,
- but a performer in an ensemble... - Did he slip?
slipped and hurt his ankle.
My goodness!
- He slipped on your sweat? - But you're not sweating much.
Today is a surprise. I have tissues.
- To be honest, - Okay.
I brought this from the makeup studio...
since I'm a guest here today.
I brought a lot, but I didn't sweat much...
- which is surprising. - That's what I thought.
You are born to be star on our show.
That's music to my ears.
(That's music to my hears.)
What happens once your makeup runs down?
- Do you repair your makeup? - The thing is that...
the stage was an open stage.
I had to go right in front of the audience...
and twist my neck as part of my acting.
The sweat splattered onto the audience.
- When you turn your face? - I see.
When I turned my neck while singing, the sweat splattered on them.
I noticed the change of their expressions when I was acting.
My confidence went down.
I also felt sorry for the audience.
When my sweat gets mixed with the white makeup powder...
- It looks like floury soup. - Right, right.
When you were having spicy food with your son, I saw that...
- you sweated a lot. - I sweat buckets.
- I sweat about twice as that. - When you eat spicy food?
Yes, I sweat a lot.
Do you know the dish I hate the most?
- What is it? - Come on.
Braised spicy monkfish.
When I eat it, I'm basically swimming. It's the worst.
It's not that you can't eat it. You just sweat a lot while enjoying it.
No, it's not even that tasty.
(His answer is unexpected.)
(Part 2, hotter than the braised spicy monkfish, will begin shortly.)
We're with four stars who want both laughter and success.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
- Sung Rok is a fishing lover. - He likes fishing?
- Is that true? - I see.
- I love fishing. - He likes fishing.
I heard you have your own kayak.
- Yes, I have a kayak. - Really?
- Do you fish on a kayak? - Yes.
- On a kayak. - So you go freshwater fishing.
- What's the fun of fishing? - That's right.
- The fun of fishing? - Yes.
It's the feeling you have when a fish bites your lure.
That's the only reason I fish.
Fishing lovers...
pull the other's hand when shaking hands.
(They shake hands as if they catch a fish.)
Is that so? Like this.
They pull the hand like this?
- Then the other person will wiggle. - Don't you like jokes like this?
- You like this kind of jokes. - This isn't funny enough.
- It was funny. - Don't try this kind of jokes.
I can do everything.
(He's unbelievable.)
How does it feel when you've caught a fish?
What does it feel like?
- It feels... - It's not like pulling all the way.
- It's more like tapping. - When it's like tapping,
it's a small fish.
- Only small fish pull like that? - Yes.
Small fish pull it lightly, but when big fish bite it,
- you don't even know at first. - Really?
When they start moving around while being hooked,
the wave from their movement feels incredible.
Is it like flying a kite?
- It feels good. - A kite...
A kite isn't heavy.
There are big ones with long tails. It feels...
- Flying a kite is for kids. - That's not true.
It feels good too. You know that, right?
You don't mind if it's cold.
- You lose track of time. - Exactly.
Does it feel differently?
The same goes for golf. When you hit the ball,
it feels really good.
The same goes for tennis. It feels good.
It feels good when you hit the ball.
- Especially when you hit it well. - It's all about the feeling.
- It feels good. - It's all about the feeling.
The same goes for table tennis. You hit the ball,
and the ball flies. You don't feel it yet.
- When the ball flies up, - That's the fun of table tennis.
it's as if the sun comes up over the ocean.
It comes up like the sun...
and flies to the other side.
The same goes for pulling a tooth out.
When the tooth comes out, it feels good.
Everything goes out of my body.
As if a cliff was falling apart,
I felt like I was falling down.
I climbed up again.
(He's feeling great after having a tooth removed.)
In fact, Dong Woon tries hard to develop himself.
He'll show us a magic trick.
- A magic trick? - Yes.
- No one has done it on this show. - Since you said that,
- I'm getting nervous. - Will a dove come out of there?
No. Let me drink a cup of water first.
- That's a magic trick. - In fact,
- I didn't learn it professionally. - I have a question.
It's not a magic trick like hiding your fingers, right?
No. I'm better than that.
Are you like Lee Eun Gyeol or Choi Hyun Woo?
Actually, I...
- It's not a cheesy one, right? - No.
I learn some tricks...
- from videos on the internet. - I see.
- Can I drink water now? - Yes.
(He throws water at them.)
(There's no water.)
I got startled.
- There was powder in the cup. - There's no...
(Gu Ra ruined his performance.)
It was just a warm up.
- Eun Gyeol... - I will...
and Hyun Woo hate me so much. When they appeared on my show,
I watched their tricks closely...
and found out their secrets.
(He's the worst audience member.)
(I'm sorry.)
(Hyun Woo got sick of me when he was here.)
I made people laugh that way.
- He used special powder. - Does it solidify liquid?
- Yes, it solidifies liquid. - I see.
(Everyone except for the magician is having fun.)
- That was a joke. - All right.
Show me another trick. I know all your secrets.
I have these two cards.
I have 10 of spades and 3 of diamonds.
Choose whichever you want.
- Gu Ra, choose one. - Choose.
Let me see that.
- No, no. Tell me. - Just say it.
- Give me the card holder. - No.
You don't ask the magician to show his tool.
(Gook Jin touches the card holder.)
- I wasn't trying to take it away. - Choose 10 of spades.
Choose one of them.
(He's thinking.)
What's there to think about?
- Three of diamonds? - Is it difficult to choose?
I'll put 10 of spades on the table...
and three of diamonds over it.
- That's an easy trick. - I saw something underneath.
- It's double-sided. - No.
- That's right. - It's double-sided.
- I saw that too. - I saw that too.
- It's double-sided. - You showed it.
I have two cards.
10 of spades is under this card.
(Blowing)
The 10 of spades...
disappeared.
The 10 of spades disappeared.
Where did it go?
It was copied on the other card.
(They exclaim half-heartedly.)
This is a simple magic trick.
How much is that?
- It's about 10 dollars. - I see.
You can get it at a magic shop.
It was the most boring magic trick I've ever seen.
I didn't...
- mean to do this trick. - Show us another one.
I didn't mean to do this.
This one is serious.
(Is it real this time?)
I picked 10 cards.
Pick any one of them.
- Gook Jin, you pick one. - Yes.
Show it to everyone except for me.
Spread the cards.
- Spread them. - Okay.
- I spread them all. - That's it.
(He chose ace of spades.)
- I won't see. - Is something written on the cards?
- You know what's missing. - No, no.
- I don't know. - You don't?
- Did everyone see the card? - This card...
- Yes, they all saw the card. - Then give me the card back.
I think he unbuttoned his shirt for this magic trick.
- I think he hid it under his shirt. - No. There's nothing here.
- Everyone saw the card, right? - Yes.
Now, I'll shuffle the cards.
I didn't memorize the card he chose.
- I'll shuffle them. - Okay.
I saw Eun Gyeol's card magic tricks so many times.
- Why would you check the cards? - I have to.
Isn't there the card he picked?
- It's here. - I'm sure it's there.
- Can I mix them too? - Sure.
Mix them as you want.
In fact, suspicion motivates...
- magicians improve their tricks. - That's true.
- John shuffled the cards. - Okay.
- They shuffled the cards a lot. - Yes.
Then I'll look at each of the cards.
Which one is...
(Sighing)
the card he picked? I'm looking at each of them.
I'm doing this to feel the warmth.
While feeling the warmth...
(They're excited about the trick.)
Magic is all about bluffing.
You need to bluff a lot.
It's not easy to find it,
- You should... - but I'll choose one card.
You should pretend to think a little longer.
Try to look very serious.
You should exaggerate it.
Say a magic spell too.
- It's difficult to find the card. - Right.
- I'll have another look. - Okay.
You should entertain the audience while doing that.
- It should be fun at the same time. - Hold on.
You don't know, do you?
I don't know.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
The cards...
I'll move on to the next one.
What happened? Why can't you find the card?
- What went wrong? - Actually...
When he mixed the cards on the table,
I lost the card.
(John is the cause of the failure of the magic trick.)
- Let's not ask for a difficult one. - My gosh.
Show us a body split magic trick.
Did you bring the boxes?
He needs those boxes for the trick.
You're so funny.
He's so charming.
That's why I talked about him so many times.
- What is he doing? - Dong Woon, what are you doing?
Thank you for watching. I was Son Dong Woon.
That's how he finishes his show.
(The end of Son Dong Woon's magic show)
(Gu Ra is fascinated by his perfect finish of the show.)
- That was so fun. - It was fun that he didn't know.
No magician says...
he doesn't know.
I thought he was putting on an act,
- but he really didn't know. - Exactly.
"Which one is the card you picked?"
- "I have no idea." - Right.
(The thought of it still makes them laugh.)
Since Ho Won is...
an amazing dancer,
and we've seen Dong Woon's magic tricks,
let's see him dance.
- Dance? - Yes.
I didn't prepare a dance. If you play a song...
- You'll dance freestyle? - Yes, I'll dance freestyle.
Freestyle?
- He was one of the best dancers. - Of course.
He had such a muscular body.
(His body reacts to the beat as soon as the song starts.)
(He seems to do a warm-up.)
He does a powerful move while dancing slowly.
(He looks awesome.)
He's cool.
- He's good at dancing. - He's good.
(His hands move faster than a magician.)
(He dances smoothly.)
His dance is quite manly.
(He can't hide his charisma with his hands.)
(The dancing king is on Radio Star.)
(He's impressed.)
- He's cool. - He's so cool, indeed.
Right? He moves like this.
(He dances awkwardly.)
- Right? It was amazing. - What's with him today?
Is he not always like this?
Perhaps he hasn't woken up from the anesthesia yet.
Are you trying to win the grand award?
I'm in the progress.
(What are you talking about?)
Dong Woon... I didn't know this.
Did you declare that you will never get married in 2014?
I thought of living alone since I was in middle school...
because it seemed cool to me.
- That was all. - Is that so?
My older cousin has children.
And they like me so much. Watching them makes me...
- Did it change your mind? - Yes.
- Babies are so cute. - Right.
Did you change your mind that easily?
(It's so fun to tease Dong Woon.)
I kept my word for 10 years since I was in middle school.
Most people don't get married in 10 years after middle school.
I was a little obsessed with attention.
Dong Woon, what's your ideal type?
You've never said that on TV.
My ideal type is...
Actually, I was a member of Kim Tae Hee's fan club.
- I see. - I was in her fan club.
- The fan club name is "Fin.s". - "Fin.s"?
I'm the third batch.
- "Fin.s"? - Yes. "Fin.s".
She played in the drama, "Love Story in Harvard".
- Yes. Kim Rae Won co-starred in it. - I printed out...
some photos of her from the drama and put them on my desk.
- You were Tae Hee's fan. - Yes.
In 2015, Ho Won revealed...
that he had taken a vow of chastity.
He said...
Dong Woon said he won't get married, and he took a vow of chastity?
You want to remain a virgin until marriage.
That sounds like Kang Gyun Sung.
Can you elaborate on this?
- Why do you call yourself that? - What's different?
I think it's less of a pressure than an official announcement.
He wants to leave room behind.
- I don't want to announce it. - So what is it?
- On a radio show, - Right.
- someone asked me... - Yes.
if I'm very experienced in that way, saying...
- I like to write sexy lyrics. - He was being aggressive.
I said I'm not experienced and those were from my imagination.
- It was a joke at first, but... - I see.
- it was in the newspaper. - So you don't want to be a virgin.
I mean, I think things became too easy for everyone these days.
- So I want to... - You want to keep the line.
I just want to sleep with the one I'm married.
- What's different? - That's basically the same thing.
- He thinks it's different. - So how can we call that?
- That's not... - So...
- I don't know what you mean. - That's...
- Tell us the difference. - They are different.
They have slightly different meanings.
- "After wedding relationship"? - I mean...
There are always people who are against my idea.
"Does it mean you are dirty if you sleep with someone before marriage?"
I like his idea.
That's a very good idea.
I do think it's very good.
Sleeping with your wife only after getting married...
is very important.
Keeping that trust to each other in your marriage is very important.
Don't you think so?
Okay, I heard you.
- Am I wrong? - Thanks, Mr. Kim.
I really think it's important.
Are you like Ho Won too?
I've never thought about anything like that before.
My life isn't that philosophical.
You two are married.
What do you think about their opinions?
They are still young.
You mean, about the announcement and stuff, right?
Yes. I just...
love my marriage.
But, in our rehearsal room,
the married guys were touched by...
the song called, "It's More Than Friendship But Less Than Love".
- That song. - They all said...
that song was made for the married ones.
"It's More Than Friendship But Less Than Love".
They said it sounds like their wives.
They really said so.
- That's depressing. - I remember what happened exactly.
- That wasn't me. - My friends said...
I really didn't agree with that.
- We didn't say so. - No, we didn't!
You should say such a thing in public.
Ho Won likes Hani of EXID. Is that true?
I heard you watched her video clip over and over again.
We've been friends since we were young. I met her on a radio show...
after she got popular with that famous video clip.
The DJ asked me if I watched it too.
I said I watched it 60 times. Obviously, it was a joke.
I guess he makes everything worse at radio stations.
(Do I?)
He thinks not many people listen to the radio.
You are good at joking.
Ho Won suits this position.
Don't say that in front of Dong Woon.
Ho Won liked someone who can speak foreign languages in 2013.
You liked a good-wife figure in 2015. It's different every year.
He said he was a celibate earlier.
I guess he just talks about a lot of things.
Did you say that on a radio show too?
- I think I did. - Again!
That's what they ask the idol band members on a radio show though.
They always ask me about my ideal type.
Some of us make mistakes by saying a name of a member of a girl band...
or an actress.
That could hurt their fans' feelings.
So I just say my favorite girl band is Fin.K.L when asked.
I see.
Have you ever thought that was not right?
- It's like I'm deceiving myself. - That's what I thought.
- Why can't you be honest now? - You can!
- You are not in that band anymore. - That's true.
I would love to say something, but I don't have my ideal type anymore.
Do you have anyone you think that's attractive?
But I realized...
I like girls with mono-lid eyes,
- If I only talk about their looks. - So who is it?
- Yuna Kim. - Oh, Yuna Kim.
That's lame. She's such an iconic woman.
Yuna Kim, Jung Woo Sung, and Yoo Jae Suk...
- Everyone loves them. - This is not good.
It should be like Kim Bu Seon talking about me.
- You should go into detail. - Be more specific.
When you actually say it, you'll feel better.
If you do that, you don't even have to think about later.
- You really don't have to. - Just tell us one name.
You should say one too, Dong Woon.
Well, I used to like...
- Kim Tae Hee a lot. - Oh, I remember that.
- She doesn't count. - I liked Yoo Min too.
- Yoo Min? - Yoo Min...
Well...
I also liked Sung Yu Ri.
That's very not unique.
This won't make any issues.
I would have said more names if there were more.
I've been the host of the radio show for a year.
- Really? - Some of the guests...
try to hide themselves a lot.
Especially when they have many fans.
That makes me feel sorry.
- I feel so sorry for you. - I told you everything!
- I... - What about you, Ho Won?
- Ho Won. - My ideal type?
I realized...
a fun person...
is the best to be with.
It will be Kim Shin Young, or...
I'm pretty sure.
(Is it Kim Shin Young?)
Let's move on.
- Let's move on. - I see.
What about you, John? You can tell us.
- I'm honest with it all the time. - Who do you like these days?
I like every woman.
I'm desperate.
You said this on a radio show too.
You used to be a fan of Kan Mi Youn back in school.
What were you going to do without these radio shows today?
- This is Radio Star. - You even wanted to do...
"We Got Married" with her.
- How old is she? - Did I say that?
- With Kang Mi Youn? - Yes.
- I said I was a fan of hers. - You did.
- On a radio show. - Yes.
- He didn't mean that. - I think...
- He just said it. - Maybe we were on the same show.
See? You are busy covering it now.
When I'm on a radio show, I usually say how much I like...
the other guests. I think I said those words then.
You are just out of hand whenever you are on radio shows.
We are Radio Star too.
You didn't even mean it but you said you wanted to film "We Got Married".
That's brave.
I still remember Sung Rok...
was on "We Got Married".
You and Kim Shin Young wrapped up the show early.
I'm sure we were on that show for the shortest time.
For how long did you guys to it?
- For six weeks, I believe. - But...
(The story of Sung Rok and Shin Young)
(Young Sung Rok and Shin Young in 2009)
Am I in the wrong place?
(They really went for it for that short time.)
We got really good reactions for our first episode.
However, some people said...
it was too much of a fantasy.
They said we needed to add the realistic aspect to the show.
A fantasy?
It's an imagination no matter what!
So I accepted their opinion.
I acted unpleasantly at times.
I picked out about things.
- The result was... - They didn't want the show anymore.
People were upset at me for not being nice to women.
- Things got twisted. - It really god worse.
It was a good start.
- But things didn't go well. - How did you guys break up?
It was all of a sudden. We couldn't finish it up that well.
(How virtual were we?)
(The virtual marriage is over. How will their real-life turnout?)
You like to drink, right?
I heard something big happened to you and Ock Joo Hyun while drinking.
- Is she good at drinking? - I just heard that.
- She doesn't drink. - That's what I thought.
We are like siblings when we work together.
Anyway, she bit my head one day.
I mean, it was a joke like this.
- It was a joke. - That sounds like zombies.
So I chased after her.
I didn't realize there was a huge glass window.
- Goodness. - I could hear something cracked.
- What? - I started bleeding out.
I did the same thing once.
I could really see the stars.
That's true.
I wasn't walking slowly either.
My head was filled with twinkle stars at that moment.
- The thing is... - What thing?
I felt embarrassed more than I felt hurt.
It was insanely hurting and I was seeing stars but I was embarrassing.
You acted like nothing was going on.
My nose was bleeding.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
For those who want to sell the show and also want to make others laugh,
Radio Star prepared, "The Song That Makes Me Laugh".
What is your song, Dong Woon?
I love this song.
("Go Back" by Dynamic Duo)
Are you a rapper?
- I'm not. I'm a vocalist. - Close to a rapper though?
I'm a vocalist, but I like rapping a lot.
You are going to rap then, right?
That's why I chose this song.
I found out Dynamic Duo wrote this song...
when they were 26.
The lyrics go like, "I'm a grown-up now"
"After army, I'll be 30"
- You didn't do your service yet. - No, not yet. I'll have to do it.
Is there any military camp you want to work at?
I just want to go somewhere normal,
nothing more or less.
(He'll figure his way out.)
- Let's listen to Dong Woon's... - "Go Back".
(This is a sad self-introduction)
(Focusing again)
(He's good.)
(Alright, alright, come on)
(I'm an eight-ton truck with a broken handle)
(My life has always been shaky)
(Before I entered the school called life)
(I was like a pirate ship looking for my dream, my treasure)
(Dong Woon's storming rap)
(Please forget my magic tricks.)
(I'm good at rapping though.)
(Smiling like dad)
(The talent show of a 30-year-old boy, who wants to be a magician)
(Come on.)
(Showing his talent)
(Everyone's hypnotized.)
(That's my boy, Dong Woon.)
(Jumping down)
(He rushed to the audience because of how excited he is.)
(The magician's kindly spreading his aura under the stage.)
(The enthusiastic believer)
(Where I go is my stage.)
(He's individually blessing the mad believer.)
(Dong Woon, who wanted to be a magician,)
(grew up to be a soldier.)
We really enjoyed that.
(Well done.)
- That was "Go Back". - "Go Back".
He saluted like this. I saw it.
- It was like this. - I know.
(I hear the reveille from somewhere.)
Is Highlight planning to do anything soon?
We've been doing a lot of projects together.
So, after the musical,
- we'll take a break. - And you do this separately.
- This? - Yes.
- I'm not talking about Radio Star. - Oh, I see.
Did you mean "Sandglass"?
- Yes, I did. - Oh, Yes.
I was pretty excited when you said, "This".
Right.
- He can't decide such a thing. - I don't have that authority.
(I'm free from February! You can call me anytime.)
It's Kang Hong Seok's turn now. Let's listen to his song.
(Something's not ordinary.)
("Land Of Lola" by Cyndi Lauper)
It's from the musical "Kinky Boots".
(The song has Cyndi Lauper's unique style in it.)
I'm a big fan of Billy Porter's.
- Billy Porter is... - Cyndi Lauper...
made this song.
- Wasn't it from "Kinky Boots"? - Cool.
(The legendary diva Cyndi Lauper wrote the song.)
Just because she's not on TV often, it doesn't mean she's doing nothing.
I wonder how "Land Of Loa" sounds when Hong Seok sings it.
(What's up,)
(Radio Star?)
(Belting)
(They just can't close their mouths because of his storming charisma.)
(He looks completely different from how smiley he was earlier.)
(He overwhelms the audience with his charisma.)
(I'm gifted and wicked.)
(His soul is filling up the studio.)
(He starts to sweat with his soulful singing.)
(It looks like he's going to explode the speaker.)
(His charisma is hitting the ceiling.)
(His sweats falling down like a waterfall.)
(He is controlling his pace.)
(Wink)
(He can even be cute.)
(You, you, you)
(Welcome to my fantasy)
(Step into a dream where glamour is extreme)
(Welcome to my fantasy, we give good epiphany)
(He really gave them good epiphany.)
(He already showered with his own sweat.)
(The spicy finish)
- That was amazing. - Goodness.
You are sweating a lot.
It's a bucket of sweat.
This happens when I sing.
(Sweating)
- I sweat a lot anyway. - You use your body pretty well.
- I thought so too. - When you did this...
I guess it's because he ate lots of Western food like burgers.
- You think he's like an American. - Yes.
(The voice was gifted from burgers.)
The way you move your body and the way you sing...
It was an amazing combination. That's very groovy.
- I love African-American music. - I can see that.
- I think I know what you mean. - Yes.
- That's what it is. - We really enjoyed that.
His singing's just incredible.
(I did my best.)
"I Thought I Could Make You Laugh"...
was today's episode.
By the way, did you tell the writers you pulled a tooth out?
Your situation is...
just like today's episode.
(Laughing hysterically)
- Don't you think so? - I keep hearing a slight lisp.
That's what you are supposed to do though.
- You should speak like, "Welcome." - I think I did well.
I don't know how they could write it like this when I lost my tooth.
Anyway, thanks for spending time with us today.
John Park, you were the special host today.
- Yes. - How was it?
This is actually better than being a guest.
He's not that greedy.
It's been a while you guys were in the same picture.
It's nice because your face size match pretty well.
Even Gu Ra's face looks smaller than John's.
- His face can't be bigger. - We look good together.
John's face looks bigger.
It should be at least Cho Hyoung Ki to beat my size.
He can actually beat everyone.
Please make the audience moved with your amazing performance,
while we make them laugh.
You might have thought that was the perfect closing lines.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
