(Radio Star begins now.)
Today, we're going to meet... Yes! Okey-dokey!
- Okey-dokey. - We'll meet four desperate men.
Today's theme is "The Desperate Men Special".
Let me introduce our first guest.
He's been with dogs his entire life.
He takes care of dogs.
On "There is No Bad Dog" aired on EBS since 2015,
he shows how to train dogs from the heart, not with orders.
He became the king of dogs. It's dog trainer Kang Hyung Wook.
He couldn't be on TV because he was serving in the military,
but many people think it's because he got married.
He's always been plump,
but people think he gained weight because his wife fed him well.
Some people think he got married twice.
He finished his military service. Shin Dong of Super Junior.
Because of what happened to the other member...
of Mighty Mouth four years ago, he became very desperate.
Why would he be desperate?
- He worked hard being left alone. - He worked really hard.
Finally, he found a way to make his way up again.
He played in "The Flower in Prison" for a long time.
He received positive reviews on his performance. It's rapper Shorry.
He looks so cute.
- All right. - Please wait.
Now... Who is it?
- You meant to skip my part, right? - No, I didn't.
- There are four hosts here. - I wouldn't do that.
- You can't take him out already. - I didn't mean to do that.
(Gook Jin is preparing to say goodbye to Kyu Hyun.)
(I'm sorry.)
Following the masters of pansori Ahn Sook Sun and Kim Yeong Im,
he's a rising star. He's an idol star of Korean traditional music.
He's a veteran singer with 30 years of experience,
but Song So Hee is more popular than him.
He steeled himself for today.
He's Nam Sang Il, the adorable Korean traditional music artist.
Welcome, everyone.
(Kang Hyung Wook, Shin Dong, Shorry, Nam Sang Il)
Today's guests are in various fields.
The four of them can't be related to each other.
- Please say hello to the viewers. - Hyung Wook, please go first.
Hello, I'm Kang Hyung Wook, a dog trainer who comforts dogs.
It's nice to see you all.
He appeared on "My Little Television" with Seol Hyun.
He won first place every time he appeared on that show.
I watched a lot of video clips of him on the internet.
He gives people tips on training pet dogs.
Dogs are not my thing.
I didn't know how great it is to know...
how to comfort pet dogs.
You almost turned into a dog.
What do you mean by that?
You said you would be a dog if you were dating Kim Jung Min.
Are you still talking about that rumor?
(He's tired of hearing about it.)
(He smiles.)
- It'll tail you forever. - After she appeared on our show,
I felt really bad.
People said that I had wasted time on talking about my private life.
I felt a heavy responsibility as an entertainer.
- They were curious about Hwang Bo. - They wanted to hear more from her,
but I kept on talking about pointless things with Jung Min.
You're talking about her again.
I didn't know you read the viewers' reviews.
I deeply regret what I did.
I regret what I did last week.
(I'm sorry for wasting your time with my personal matter.)
Hyung Wook introduced himself.
Shin Dong, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm back.
- You're back? - Sorry?
- I finished my military service. - I see.
- I'm back now. - I get it.
- He'll go soon, and you're back. - That's right.
- He used to host Radio Star. - I'm just envious.
I was the host of this show when it began.
Is that true?
- Yes. - Yes, I was the first host.
Many people think that Kim Hee Chul took over my place,
but I'll tell you the truth.
It was Gook Jin who took over my place.
- That's right. - I was replaced by Gook Jin.
- Gook Jin joined our show. - That's right.
You didn't know until you read the news article.
That's right.
(Radio Star News)
(Oh, no! I lost my job.)
Are you done?
- No, I'm about to begin. - Okay.
Hello, among Super Junior members,
- I'm called Careless Junior. - Careless Junior.
- I'm Shin Dong. Nice to see you. - Right.
- Shorry, please say hello. - Yes.
Finally, my imagination has become reality.
- You came here many times before. - You appeared on this show often.
I thought you would never invite me again.
I didn't know you would invite me.
This feels like a dream. Right this moment, I feel...
Look around you.
We don't invite great people on our show.
I'm just happy to be here.
I'm Shorry, the youngest member of Mighty Mouth.
When I think of Shorty...
- It's Shorry. - Right.
Since you called him Shorty, it feels like he's too short.
- It feels like he's really short. - That's mean.
(He's sad.)
When I think of you, your mole of tears comes across my mind.
- I saw the mole under your eye. - Really?
- You always look sad. - He really has one.
- Do I look sad? - Yes, always.
- That's a mole of tears. - I thought...
That means sad things happen to you many times.
Gu Ra saw his face meticulously.
You always look sad because of that mole.
I should get rid of it.
It's just my personal opinion.
Don't talk about your personal opinion.
(I forgot.)
- Be professional. - I'll refrain myself from now on.
Nam Sang Il.
- Yes? - Please say hello to the viewers.
(He starts singing.)
He's unbelievable.
He's hilarious.
(He greets the viewers with his song.)
He sings so well.
I'm the idol star of Korean traditional music.
I've been waiting for this moment for the past year. I'm desperate.
(He's looking at the camera like a professional.)
I'm Nam Sang Il.
When I first saw him, I hadn't read the script.
I wanted to ask him to read my fortune.
- You look a bit like a shaman. - I think...
- People who don't know who I am... - Right.
Ask if I'm a shaman.
Do you not have fortunetelling skills?
- Actually, I learned a little bit. - He learned it.
- Really? - When I was in high school,
He learned it.
I was interested in fortunetelling and physiognomy, so I read books.
- Take a look at his mole of tears. - Please take a look.
(Let me see.)
In physiognomy,
his face tells that he is indecisive.
If he meets a good partner, he would become very successful,
or else, he would live a mediocre life.
He needs a good partner because he's indecisive,
but his partner is going through a hard time.
Are you referring to him or me?
None of you.
- He meant my group member. - His work partner.
(This is Sang Il's personal opinion.)
Whenever Sang Il speaks, he makes the atmosphere so country like.
- He speaks in dialect. - Exactly.
Are you from Chungcheong Province or Northern Jeolla Province?
I'm from Northern Jeolla Province. You're good.
- He uses the dialect. - I'm from Northern Jeolla Province.
Is your family from Northern Jeolla Province?
Yes.
- Are you from Jeonju? - Yes, I am.
- You're from Jeonju? - Yes.
Let's focus on public matters.
(Let's not talk about personal matters.)
- Then, should we talk about taxes? - That's not what I meant.
He's the master of talking about personal matters.
(He's the master of talking about personal matters.)
Hyung Wook, a dog trainer, is called the king of dogs these days.
So many people recognize you on the streets these days,
- so you wear a mask when going out. - Is that so?
I put on a mask just once.
There are some people who recognize me.
I think he's caught up in popularity.
I think he's starting to be.
No, I'm not caught up in popularity.
I just feel shy when people recognize me.
You know the black mask that celebrities usually wear, right?
I once put it on, and people recognized me more easily.
- People recognized you more easily? - I mean...
(No way.)
- They seem curious about me. - Right.
Not long ago, I went to a restaurant for lunch.
I went to an oyster restaurant in Ilsan.
- Is it your personal story? - Yes,
but this story has something to think about.
- It's a public matter. - That's right.
- That's right. - Anyway, I went to the restaurant.
- I'm telling this for Hyung Wook. - Okay.
I went there at lunch time. I had eaten some oysters for free.
I felt bad about it, so I ordered oysters.
I ordered raw oysters and oyster rice cake soup.
They serve 50 oysters for one-person portion.
So I had 50 oysters and oyster rice cake soup for lunch.
- The people in the restaurant... - You ate them all?
Were saying that I was crazy eating so much alone.
I couldn't just waste food in front of all those people.
Your name should be Gul A, instead of Gu Ra.
("Gul" means "oyster" in Korean.)
(Kyu Hyun keeps teasing Gu Ra.)
- Gul A, not Gu Ra. - Anyway...
How about Kim Gul?
Stop it.
- That's enough. - Oyster Kim.
(Gu Ra's English name would be Oyster Kim.)
(The guests are laughing.)
All right.
- He said he feels shy. - What does it have to do with him?
(That doesn't have anything to do with Hyung Wook's story.)
- Okay. It's Kyu Hyun's turn. - It's Kyu Hyun's turn.
Our staff members were...
very surprised by Hyung Wook...
because he looks much older than he actually is.
You said it so seriously.
They thought you were in your 40s,
but you're younger than Shorry.
(Sang Il is shocked.)
Why are you so surprised?
- Sang Il is shocked. - How old are you?
I was born in 1979.
- Really? - I was surprised...
- when you said you're in your 30s. - My goodness.
- You said you're in your 30s. - I thought you were older than me.
(Both of them look older than their actual age.)
- Shorry was born in 1982. - I was born in 1982.
- And... - How old are you?
I was born in 1985.
- You're the same age as Shin Dong. - That's right.
- He's the same age as Shin Dong. - In what month were you born?
Hyung Wook!
- I think... - Training dogs must be exhausting.
- It must be hard work. - Of course, it is.
I started training dogs since I was young, so I worked outside a lot.
I can't believe he's the same age as me.
- I don't look so young, either. - That's right.
- He's wearing makeup, though. - I'd like to thank you.
In fact, there's a stereotype about dog trainers.
- We assume they're quite old. - That's right.
His kind eyes make him look more mature.
I started training dogs when I was young.
I was 15 or 16 years old.
On December 24, 1999,
I joined the dog training center...
to become a trainer.
I started my career by doing odd jobs.
Later, I learned to train dogs.
Actually, I have mild frostbite...
- on my cheeks and ears. - Is that so?
The makeup artist did a good job. My face always looks red.
I don't think that's the reason why he looks old.
- I just look old. - Right.
Are you blaming dogs?
(Shin Dong and Kyu Hyun have good teamwork.)
- That's a good point. - By the way,
one of our guests is pretending...
that he's not the same.
The other person who has an old looking face is...
- Sang Il. - Me?
- Yes. In fact, - Why me?
He went to the same high school as Lee Min Woo of SHINHWA.
He went to the same high school as Lee Min Woo.
That can't be true.
- I can't believe it. - That can't be true.
- Weren't you in Namwon back then? - No, I was in Jeonju.
- Jeonju? - Min Woo and I entered...
Jeonju Fine Arts High School in the same year.
I majored in Korean traditional music, and he majored in acting.
I see. Anyway, I got so surprised by...
- Hyung Wook's age. - Me, too.
Do I look that old? I heard I look more like my age now.
- No, you don't. - No?
- You should wait at least 20 years. - You look like your age now?
- You'll look like your age. - Of course.
- That will happen eventually. - Before you die.
(Finally, I look like my age.)
As an expert in dogs, Hyung Wook will...
compare us, the hosts of Radio Star,
to dog breeds. It sounds fun.
- He'll compare us to dog breeds. - Really?
- Please go ahead. - I'll go first.
- Obviously, he's a chihuahua. - You're right.
- Is he a chihuahua? - Yes.
I'm not talking about his looks.
Chihuahuas are usually...
They're very brave, right?
They always shiver.
(Shivering)
I heard Chihuahuas have a very long history.
As they have a long history,
they are a little bit conservative,
and they are kind to just a few people...
- they really like. - They're not kind to anyone.
- That's right. - I heard chihuahuas are the only...
dog breed that can fight against a tiger.
(Chihuahuas are the only dog breed that can fight against a tiger?)
(Chihuahuas are brave, right?)
They're just ignorant.
(They're just ignorant.)
Ignorant? They're ignorant?
- They end up getting killed. - Really?
A chihuahua stayed alone while the other dogs were running away.
Gook Jin, you didn't see what happened next.
(He didn't see what happened next.)
- Chihuahuas. - I prepared...
- Let's move on. - Did you bring something?
This is the first time our guest has prepared a board.
- Gook Jin is a chihuahua. - Right.
Once they get attached to a person,
they can recognize the person...
no matter how long they haven't seen that person.
They don't make friends with anyone.
They open their hearts to whom they really like.
- Gook Jin is like that. - They're picky.
- That's how I am. - Chihuahuas are...
They don't like it when people approach them too quickly.
- I'm like that, too. - They get to know people slowly.
- That's what chihuahuas are like. - That's me.
Gook Jin is a chihuahua.
Dogs with big eyes like people so much.
- Gook Jin is a chihuahua. - They like people so much.
- Let's move on. - What about me?
- Gook Jin is also skinny like them. - Jong Shin is similar to...
a very pretty dog...
that some people might disagree with me.
It's called Chinese crested.
- Chinese...? - It must be a Chinese dog breed.
- Chinese crested. - I haven't heard of it before.
- It's an unusual dog breed. - This is a Chinese crested.
(Once he shows the picture, everyone bursts out laughing.)
That's good. I like that.
- It doesn't have fur. - They don't have fur on their legs.
- It doesn't have fur. - It looks pretty.
I don't have much leg hair, either.
I don't have much body hair.
- What is this dog breed like? - They are...
For example, there are some girls...
who are playful when they're little,
but when they turn 7 or 8,
they hide behind their moms when they meet strangers.
They say something to their moms and then hide again.
- They're similar to those girls. - They're introverted.
- They're good for women to raise. - That's right.
- He is very... - These dogs are...
My wife is raising me.
(Good boy, Jong Shin.)
It's a good dog to raise.
- How about Gu Ra? - People compare me to a bulldog.
- If you have... - People compare him to a bulldog,
but since he's tall and has a large physique,
- I think he's more like... - Saint Bernard.
- That's a Saint Bernard dog. - Good.
- I like this. - It looks nice.
Yeom Gyeong Hwan used to raise this dog breed.
- It looks good. - They're sensitive to the heat.
That's because they're rescue dogs...
- in Switzerland. - That's right.
- They're sensitive to the heat. - They always carry a water canteen.
There's alcoholic drink in the canteen.
- Alcoholic drink? - They carry...
- very strong alcoholic drinks. - That's right.
- This is from "A Dog of Flanders". - It's for an emergency situation.
- Do they drink alcohol? - Do people feed them alcohol?
- It's for people in distress. - That's right.
- It increases the body temperature. - There was...
an old animation called "Belle and Sebastian".
- "Belle and Sebastian"? - Jolie.
(Jong Shin knows the theme song.)
- The dog Jolie is this breed. - Jolie.
You know the theme song.
("Belle and Sebastian" was aired in the 1980s.)
(This is Jolie, the main character.)
- Right. He's much younger than me. - That's right.
- He wouldn't know the animation. - It was aired before he was born.
- Jolie, Jolie, Jolie - Jolie.
- He knows the theme song. - Jolie.
There was a dog named Jolie in the animation.
- In the Alps... - Jolie, the jolly dog.
Stop it.
(He was born in 1985.)
- It's a funny pun. - It's set in the Alps.
They don't move around much.
It's not that they don't move around much. They're a little aggressive.
(Gu Ra stares at the picture.)
Saint Bernard dogs are...
very cautious and distrustful.
- When they see a stranger... - It's the same for Gu Ra.
- He's distrustful, too. - They're very distrustful.
- Do they bite anyone they see? - No, they don't,
but they always glare at people like this.
No wonder he's an expert.
I see. They also like chocolate, right?
Dogs die when they eat chocolate.
(Dogs must not eat chocolate.)
Don't tell things like that.
Switzerland is famous for its chocolate.
- Chocolate can be deadly. - Do they like watches, then?
Did you say they like watches?
(Switzerland is also famous for a watch brand.)
- What about Kyu Hyun? - It's Kyu Hyun's turn.
- It's a British dog breed. - Is it?
It's a British dog breed,
and it looks a bit like a cocker spaniel.
Kyu Hyun looks just like it.
(They look alike.)
Don't they look alike?
- His shirt color is similar. - So are his hair color and eyes.
It's called springer spaniel.
- They're more gentle... - It's cute.
- than cocker spaniels, - It's so cute.
- and smaller than jindo dogs. - I see.
- Some people see this dog, - It's chocolate brown.
And say it looks classy.
What personality type are they?
They're full of curiosity.
They tend to cling on anyone.
They greet and approach people easily.
Kyu Hyun does that to non-celebrities.
(He's the human version of springer spaniel.)
- This is a gift for you. - He does that to non-celebrities.
- This is a springer spaniel. - He clings on other people.
- He's wearing in a similar color. - He really looks like it.
Clinging on people... I see.
- I envy you. - At present,
there are 10 million pet dogs in Korea.
Many dog owners ask a lot of questions...
- when they see Hyung Wook. - Exactly.
I have two dogs.
They're Ra Ri and Ra Wool.
I found them when they went out with help from my SNS visitors.
They keep going out of the house.
- Did you find your dogs? - I meant to ask you...
what could be the reason about it.
- They left home in an instant. - Maybe, you treated them badly.
(I guess you treated them badly.)
My teacher once told me about that matter.
I asked him how I could tell if my dog is...
happy living with me, and he said...
"Open your main door."
- To see if it leaves? - To check?
- "Open your main door." - Your dogs want to leave.
- They're unhappy. - So...
They want to die.
- They're going crazy. - Is that it?
It's not that at all.
- We can leave the door open. - No, no.
- Don't you ever try this. - Really?
Don't try it yourself. It's dangerous.
Most men work and are breadwinners.
If his family is happy, he goes straight home after work.
If he's troubled at home, he stays out or aloof.
- It's the same thing. - That's not it.
- That's not what it means. - You're wrong.
I think that's what it means.
(You're wrong.)
- Why do dogs run away? - I'll explain.
It could be because it wants to go out for a walk.
When a dog goes missing, there's a golden time.
It's three hours in the city.
If you don't find it in three hours...
the likelihood of finding it drops incredibly fast.
- It goes to strange places. - Yes, the likelihood drops.
Even now, posters and leaflets take time...
- to make and print. - Do you make them ahead?
I have a file with a photo.
So I can print it right away.
(Make a copy in advance, just in case.)
Shin Dong, you left the army last year.
- You're back at work already. - I am.
Some people think you took a break from work...
not because of the army, but because you'd gotten married.
You stood out because you announced you were dating twice...
with two different people.
That's why I said earlier that I'm Careless Junior.
- I actually think... - Was it twice?
- The number of times... - You said you were dating.
- I didn't mean to open up. - Was it twice?
- Yes, twice. - Once you said you'd get married.
I didn't say I would get married.
This is how facts get distorted.
But it happened again.
Do you wish you'd actually gotten married then?
What?
What are you talking about? What are you doing?
Don't you wish you'd gotten married instead of put up with this?
No, I don't.
Say something to her.
What for? That's how it all started.
I mentioned on TV that our parents were going to meet.
I want to propose.
(He announced on TV that he wanted to marry his girlfriend.)
(Have you met her parents?)
To tell the truth...
our parents are meeting next week.
This is a first in Korea.
(He's a Meet the Parents idol.)
That meeting was just to...
meet the parents, not set a date...
or do anything serious.
I was young and ignorant.
- Your parents still met. - It's the same word.
But because I'd mentioned it on TV,
they called it off because of the pressure.
Of course they did.
When will you get married?
(He is flustered by the unexpected question.)
- Marriage? - That's what we want to know.
Really? Can you read my fortune?
(He's serious.)
You can say you can't if you don't know what to do.
It's fine. Give me your details.
Do you get the result right away?
- Of course. - Lunar birth date.
- Come on. - August 14, 1985.
6:02pm.
Can he do it right away?
- He studied it. - Did he?
In Shin Dong's fortune, the word "marriage"...
comes up a lot.
- Does it really? - It came up twice already.
Wait, is he a fortune-teller?
- No. - No, right?
- Is he not? - No?
- I host another show, you know. - I'm scared.
Yoo Toong came on.
- What does he do? - He was married eight times.
Are you saying...
- The feel... - Shin Dong...
Do I look like him?
You give off a similar impression.
(I give up.)
(Just kidding)
Shin dong mentioned this earlier,
- but on Radio Star... - The early days.
Jong Shin, I, someone we can't mention,
and Shin Dong hosted the show.
- Hyung Don was our first guest. - That's right.
Kyu Hyun has to serve in the army.
You talked about that for too long.
Everyone wants to take over from him.
- Of course. - Can you do better than him?
- Better than Kyu Hyun? - Did you say that?
I shouldn't do worse than Kyu Hyun.
Out of everyone in Super Junior,
he never was one of the hosts or entertainers.
He's a singer.
He's in charge of singing.
No one can have and stick to just one talent or job.
It's like that in our team.
After our debut I said I'm an entertainer...
and that I wouldn't sing.
So I'm not in our first album. I didn't sing at all.
- You're a singer. - Even then.
What singer wouldn't want to sing and perform on stage?
I gave that up to focus on variety shows.
- You made a sacrifice. - Exactly.
But Kyu Hyun is eating into my portions now.
(He sings and hosts shows)
It's quite possible that he's over there because of me.
Why you...
(Surprised)
Were you about to curse?
Wasn't he about to call you "trash"?
- "You trash." - No, no.
- Shin Dong... - Let him continue.
- Let him continue. - I was about to say you're funny.
Why you're funny.
- This position... - Are we back to the internet days?
(Do you want to go back to the internet days?)
- Wait. - Will you curse again?
This guy...
He owes this position to me.
He was a good MC, yes,
but I strongly recommended him.
I admit that much.
- What I meant was... - How could you say that?
- I meant... - Did all you acknowledge my talent?
I was the platform and motivation.
- That was my role. - You should have put it like that.
- That position... - You named this position.
You're back to being careless again.
- Sorry, I was careless. - Be careful.
I heard you're the one who created Kyu Hyun's image.
- I came up with that. - That was our idea.
You're funny.
- Stop it. - Wait.
- You're mistaken. - That's not a character.
It's just him in real life.
- I provided the tip. - It's not a made-up thing.
I provided the information.
It's not a character.
- How did it happen? - Do you know the informant?
- Lady Jane said it on Radio Star. - Yes.
She was on my radio show the day before.
"I'm going on Radio Star. What can I say about Kyu Hyun?"
I said he doesn't date celebrities, just ordinary people, he slays them.
I told her...
- and she said it here. - You're the informant.
Why are you adding to the story?
- What? - This isn't what you said.
He told the truth. It wasn't just a character.
- Go on, then. - This is what happened.
This will sound like I'm making excuses.
I don't want to sound pathetic.
- Explain yourself. - Don't mention your private life.
You talked about yourself for 20 minutes!
- Why can't I? - It won't do you any good.
Let me tell you what exactly happened.
I asked his thoughts about that nickname on the way here.
He said it's so stressful.
He's afraid of the impression he gives.
He's afraid the woman will misinterpret why he's calling,
so he can't even call as a friend.
Say, "You aren't an ordinary girl. To me, you're a celebrity."
A celebrity in my heart?
That would work. "You aren't an ordinary girl."
- You are my celebrity. - Celebrities...
- Celebrities aren't ordinary. - You are my celebrity.
Sang Il.
You finally appeared after meeting our crew a year ago.
- He's very desperate. - After a year?
Is it your dream to become famous and shoot some commercials?
Commercials?
I think you could promote red ginseng.
I'd like that. I actually filmed a commercial once already.
It was for a herbicide.
For a countryside network?
I was overjoyed about it.
- What was the theme? - I was a virile man...
who shot and killed all the weeds.
I said, "Shoot!"
Then I sang, "Oh, all the weeds are shriveling away."
- That works. - What do you want to advertise?
- Personally. - Two things.
- I look very reliable. - What?
- What? - Don't I?
- Can you explain why that is? - You don't get it.
Handsome men with chiseled looks...
make people say, "Gosh, he's handsome."
But they hesitate to approach such men.
Men like me who look good-natured...
- seem trustworthy. - What?
- That's why... - Really?
You look so reliable.
Thank you.
They have a friendly face.
A bank or financial institution is one.
- That's one on your wish list. - The other is...
because I sing, I'd like to promote a throat lozenge.
You seem to be prepared. Show the people what you can do.
- Then... - Pretend to be downcast.
(A singer in a slump)
I don't have it anymore.
Have a sip of this.
(Shorry passes him a drink.)
(Taking gulps)
How do you feel?
(One sip cured his worries.)
Drink Radio Star.
That's it?
(Satisfied with their reaction)
Your acting wasn't bad in "The Flower in Prison".
- He's an actor. - Actually,
Shorry's acting was much better.
- Sang Il... - Have another drink.
I did all that for nothing.
(Just kidding)
You were upset about Song So Hee filming so many commercials...
that you copied her?
I did.
I've been singing traditional Korean songs for much longer.
You're the veteran.
I sang for over 30 years but we judge fame by commercials.
In one of them she sings, "No, no."
- He's good. - I said, "I could do that."
- Let's have a look. - I analyzed...
her commercials carefully.
- I even created my own style. - Of her commercials?
(His new style created purely out of jealousy)
Not everything works.
The golden frequency, broadband LTE.
Like that.
- Like that? - I liked that.
That was funny.
You should practice how to sing.
You shouldn't imitate others in commercials.
- What are you doing? - It's useless.
What are you doing?
(Upset)
Sang Il, you said this in the pre-taping interview.
Shin Yu, the prince of trot...
- He's popular. - Shin Yu.
He's not handsome in real life.
(What did I say?)
Really?
You said middle-aged women prefer you.
You sing traditional Korean music, not trot.
- Why mention him? - Why are you so jealous?
- Other people... - You're strange.
Are you struggling?
- I'm doing really well. - Are you struggling?
Do you meet him at events or gigs?
They're on the same circuit.
- Shin Yu's really handsome. - He is.
- He looks like a prince. - He has a pretty face.
He sings really well, too.
But he can't speak.
We were on TV together.
He found a weakness. The man isn't funny.
- You found his weakness. - He's too serious.
- The middle-aged women love him. - They do.
But they can't approach him.
Why do you keep talking about people being unapproachable?
They're just fine.
He thinks everyone but him is unapproachable.
What does that mean?
Do you approach others?
Isn't he strange?
People find me comfortable.
The older women touch me a lot.
Do they come up to you at events?
Some older ladies...
even undo this ribbon.
- Why? - Really?
I don't know why.
Sometimes my clothes tear because they won't let go.
We heard that when you're out and about,
your manager is more popular than you are.
That's true.
(His manager's handsome enough to be a celebrity himself.)
- Why is that? - Is he handsome?
He looks like a guy from a boyband.
He has a tiny face.
Then he's hard to approach.
So women go through me.
(They use me to get to him.)
To approach your manager?
The celebrity's easier to approach.
- They ask me for a photo. - Does he really think so?
To my manager they say...
"Let him get in the shot."
I asked if they know him.
"He's an actor."
What the women think goes.
I have to agree and tell him to join us.
They're so pleased that they took a photo with an actor.
I bet you can act as well.
I was in the National Theater of Korea.
- I see. - What do you do?
(Nam Sang Il is multitalented.)
Sang Il, do you accept any job even for minimal pay?
- Of course. - Because...
you'll be jealous if someone else takes the job.
Yes, that's true.
You're like a mean old man.
Are you always jealous?
That jealousy is what got me where I am.
- I can't stand others' good luck. - That's partially true.
Artists need to be jealous to improve and succeed.
- Is there a reason? - Did something happen?
A long time ago I was asked to perform.
I was told it was for a small group of people.
I wasn't too happy about singing for a small group,
so I apologetically said I had a prior engagement.
- My junior got the offer. - That happens.
He found out...
it was a meeting of CEOs.
He sang for 10 minutes...
and was paid a huge fortune.
- That leads to other gigs. - It does.
He'd handed out his business cards...
and those CEOs started calling him.
- You should have gone there. - You must have been jealous.
I decided to never say no.
(He accepted all offers since then.)
Did you appear on both Buddhist and Christian channels...
because you couldn't turn down a job?
That's not all.
I even sing in cathedrals.
(He sang in cathedrals.)
Christianity doesn't really suit traditional Korean music.
I was a regular on a radio show for three years.
I read the letters in pansori format.
When I was on a Buddhist radio show I said...
"May Buddha's mercy be with you."
On the other channel, I talked about God's blessings.
(He brought the major religions together.)
Sang Il, when you listen to people's stories,
can you think of pansori that applies to them?
What about Shin Dong?
People think he was married twice.
What should we do?
(Getting emotional)
What should we do?
What should we do with him?
(What should I do?)
- Is that it? - What should we do?
- That works with any story. - That applies to anything.
It's easier to sing that.
He's wondering what to do.
"What should I do?"
(Thinking hard)
(What should I sing next?)
- Shorry. - Yes.
We wondered why we couldn't see you on TV,
but then you filmed "The Flower in Prison" for eight months.
- Yes, I worked really hard. - You got good reviews.
- You did very well. - Thank you.
I tried hard and I got an opportunity.
I don't think you played a noble with your hairstyle.
I used to only be eligible to play monks.
The filming crew really had to think hard.
Lee Byung Hoon said...
- "You can only play a monk." - A monk like him?
You worked with veteran actor Joo Jin Mo.
Did you learn something from him?
Wouldn't he be upset to hear you said "veteran actor"?
(Am I that old?)
- You're a veteran entertainer. - I am.
Should I call him Mr. Joo or Jin Mo?
He isn't old enough for you to call him Mr. Joo.
- Really? - That's awkward.
He's younger than Gu Ra and me.
The Joo Jin Mo who was born in 1958?
Him, oh, I see.
Him...
Call him Mr. Joo.
He's a great senior to me.
You need to call him Mr. Joo.
The other Joo Jin Mo.
- His name's Joo Jin Mo, too? - Yes.
I found it very fascinating.
I'd seen him in movies and knew that...
he was a great actor and all that.
I noticed his speech pattern.
- His speech? - It's like...
he inhales and exhales as he speaks.
Well, I think...
you should...
do this and that so that Shorry you can do this.
- That's how he spoke. - He sounds like that.
- You hear the breathing. - When he talks.
I think there's a reason.
One day we got the script really late.
- We got it page by page. - Right.
We practiced it together once then shot right away.
Mr. Joo had a lot to memorize.
I wondered how he'd memorize all that,
so I watched him closely as we filmed together.
He spoke quickly when he knew his lines...
- and slowed down when he didn't. - That's right.
When he remembered he sped up.
Then slowed down.
- That's what he did. - That's helpful.
I thought that was a great idea...
and he was so charismatic, too.
- Is something wrong? - You're sweating.
We can see the sweat on his head.
Is it because we didn't laugh when you expected us to?
His sweat glands opened up.
That's when I wanted you to laugh.
(He failed.)
(This is exhausting.)
- It's okay. - We liked that.
- It was good. - I tried.
We can tell the state of affairs from Shorry's head?
(Sweat is not good.)
Shorry, your father has his own dental clinic.
He has serious trust issues that...
he makes patients pay during the treatment.
- Do they pay like this? - Is it that bad?
(Simultaneous treatment and pay)
After he treats a patient he rides his wheeled stool...
and slides straight over to help the patient pay.
He takes the payment himself.
Do you have to pay before the implant goes in?
In and pay.
- What's his specialty? - Orthodontics.
Let's see your teeth.
- Show your teeth. - It's expensive.
You have good teeth.
These were laminated.
His dad's a dentist.
He doesn't know.
- What? - Really?
- It's a secret. - Why?
- He'll be angry. - Did he say no?
He said no.
Where do you go?
To another dentist.
(He goes to a dentist in his neighborhood.)
Because your father's impatient,
- there's something on his thigh. - Yes, he has a big scar.
There's a mole or scar this big on his thigh.
I thought it was a mole.
I asked him about it long ago.
One day when he was in college, he was running late to meet someone.
So he ironed his pants while he was wearing them.
He ironed his leg.
He should have just ironed his pants.
- Did he iron his flesh? - Yes.
He ironed his thigh like this and got a huge burn.
It wasn't a steam iron, it was heated steel.
I wonder if your father was tortured long ago.
Tortured?
Maybe he told a lie about an iron.
Look into that.
He said he was ironing his clothes.
(He wasn't tortured.)
Shorry, after your mother gave birth to you,
could she not tell if you'd opened your eyes?
Yes, so she thought...
I was incredibly cute.
Even I thought I looked cute.
She waited for me to open my eyes...
and I still looked like this.
My eyes were so small she couldn't tell.
She told me later on that it broke her heart.
- Your eyes really were small. - My dad...
- Your father... - That's him.
Isn't this Cho Jung Chi?
(He looked like Cho Jung Chi.)
- Your mother was really... - She was pretty.
She was beautiful.
- She looks amazing. - She's incredibly beautiful.
She looked pretty enough to be in films of her own on those days.
Your father looked a bit like announcer Jo Woo Jong.
(From Cho Jung Chi to Jo Woo Jong)
It's such a pity that...
you don't talk about yourself.
- Me? - Yes.
- You mentioned your father. - Yes.
You lived for 30 years, so why don't you talk about yourself?
Why are you so anxious?
He talked about other people until now.
You come on talk shows...
- to talk about yourself. - Nobody wants to know about me.
- He only talks about the others. - No one asked me about myself.
It's strange.
(I must do something.)
Hyung Wook is incredible.
He is the first one to offer an online course on training dogs.
It's an online course on training dogs.
I looked up a few videos with Hyung Wook...
- to raise my dog. - Really? Thank you.
Do you make enough in a month?
It's a bit embarrassing to say.
Then you can sign with your fingers.
- How many employees do you have? - Employees?
(There are about 20 employees.)
There are about 20 employees.
He is on a different level.
It's only the age that we have in common.
- Don't say that. - He is the president.
I should give a 90-degree bow to Hyung Wook.
Don't do that.
If there are 20 employees,
- there must be over 100 dogs. - That's right.
- There must be over 100 dogs. - He told the scriptwriter...
that he makes in a month what people in major companies make in a year.
His annual salary...
- has six figures. - It's like a major company.
Does Hyung Wook's salary give you inspiration for pansori lyrics?
Dog, dog, black dog.
Dog, dog, black dog, woof, woof, woof, woof.
(He is a jukebox of Korean traditional music.)
From a dog's facial expressions and voice,
Hyung Wook can deduce the mood it is in.
That's why we prepared three pictures.
The thing is, we don't know the answers.
- We don't know the answers. - How would we know if he is right?
- Let's guess the answers first. - That's a good idea.
(Guess the Dog's Thoughts)
- Why is he in the picture? - Who is he?
- Look at him. - Is he Zo In Sung?
- That's me. - He didn't even recognize himself.
That's my manager's dog.
(Jong Shin and his manager's dog)
Since its mouth is open,
I think it's in a good mood.
My opinion is different. He said it's his manager's dog.
He always scolds his manager.
The dog probably thinks,
"He is the one who always scolds my master."
(Annoyed)
I don't think he is in a good mood.
Look at his left paw.
- It isn't bent. - It's pushing with its left paw.
That's right. I don't think it's in a good mood.
The dog is desperate to avoid being in that situation.
(The dog is desperate to avoid being in that situation.)
- It wasn't that friendly. - Hyung Wook is right.
It looks like it's smiling.
Dogs let their tongues hang out...
- when they are stressed. - This dog is stressed out.
While border collies are friendly,
Jong Shin held the dog so that its belly is showing.
- Its belly is wide open. - When a dog shows its belly...
- It's a sign of loyalty. - No, it's not.
- It wants to be petted. - It's an act of surrender.
By showing the weakest part of its body...
that isn't protected by bones,
it's saying, "Don't touch me." Putting a dog in that position...
can be an act of forcing submission...
- and obedience. - He even displayed it on SNS.
I am the only happy one in the picture.
That's right. He doesn't know anything.
(He is cheerful.)
He doesn't know anything, but the dog is suffering.
When dogs are happy,
they face people.
They try to lick people.
- That's right. - Licking means "Face away."
- Really? - Yes.
When they lick your chin, it means, "I like you very much."
That's what they communicate by licking your chin.
Licking your lips mean, "Please face away."
- Really? - I am having a mental breakdown.
- Let's check out the next picture. - Really?
The next picture is the same.
- Look at this. - The dog is in a bad mood.
- Only Gook Jin is happy. - The dog hates it.
- The dog is in a bad mood. - We know the answer.
- It is annoyed. - We know the answer.
Isn't it pointing to say, "I want to go over there"?
- No, it isn't. - It means, "Don't take pictures."
- "Don't take pictures." - Look at its eyes.
The answer is in its eyes.
When dogs can't escape a situation they don't like,
- they pretend to be drowsy. - Gook Jin's face is hilarious.
Gook Jin's face is hilarious, isn't it?
Even people make that face when they are annoyed.
It means, "Stop it already."
(Stop it already.)
Sometimes, my dog doesn't leave my side.
The picture was taken during the shoot.
- That's why it's in a bad mood. - I see.
Dogs think...
camera lenses are eyes.
Dogs think seeing eye to eye...
is a sign of attack and aggression.
When camera lenses are facing them from all directions,
dogs pretend to be drowsy...
to avoid the situation.
- Its eyes look drowsy. - This is incredible.
Gook Jin tried very hard...
- to look good in a picture. - He did his best...
to go home after a good shot.
(He wanted to go home quickly.)
- What's the last picture? - What is this?
"Dog-sad".
- Dog-sad. - It's the dog-sad meme.
- That's right. - It looks like it's misses someone.
Its eyes are closed. The dog is tired from a shoot.
Its ears...
are pulled back instead of drooping.
I am sure it's being held...
- by someone. - I see.
- That's right. - This is dog-annoyed.
- Dog-annoyed. - Dog-annoyed.
- Dog-annoyed. - Gook Jin is hilarious.
Gook Jin is dog-happy.
(Dog-happy)
Hyung Wook, you have been married for seven years.
You first met your wife as an instructor and a student.
I heard you fell for her at first sight.
Yes, she was beautiful.
She was your student.
I wouldn't say that. There was a time...
I gave lectures for free...
at different parks.
- It was like busking. - That's right. My wife was...
one of the people...
who were walking their dogs.
Was there a time you began to give lectures...
because you spotted someone you like?
- What? - Maybe you gave lectures...
- to charm a woman you like. - I didn't do that. I am shy.
Don't listen to him.
I am a host, too. Please listen to me.
He doesn't say anything important.
I have a role to play.
What you said was completely senseless.
This show needs someone who says senseless things.
(He won't back down.)
I liked her so much that I asked her out.
I moved into the studio apartment she lived in...
that day...
- with a toothbrush. - What?
- A toothbrush. - You did that on the day you met?
- Yes. - With a toothbrush?
- That's scandalous. - Do you mean the day you met?
It had been three days since we met.
Did she allow that?
- It's unbelievable. - We fell in love at first sight.
- It's possible. - You told us earlier...
that you are shy.
(The man who described himself as shy...)
(became a manly man for love.)
- Did I say that? - He contradicted his words.
(He feigns innocence.)
Your wife is Korean American.
At the first meeting,
your father-in-law asked you an unexpected question.
My wife has an American father...
and a Korean mother.
- He is 2m tall. - Is he 2m tall?
- Yes. - Does he live in Korea?
He first moved to Korea...
when he was 27 or 28 years old.
- The thing is, - He speaks Korean better than me.
I would have seen a tall American.
- You said he is 2m tall. - What are you talking about?
There is no way you have seen every one of them.
He speaks Korean more fluently than me.
His pronunciation is on point, too.
At first, he didn't say anything. Then he asked,
"Your last name is Kang. Which clan are you from?"
- Really? - Perhaps he learned from his wife.
- An American said that. - "Which clan are you from?"
(Which clan are you from?)
I thought to myself, "Where is my family from?"
You were probably preparing to speak English.
He asked me about my clan, too. "Which clan do I belong to?"
What's your father-in-law's name?
His last name is Elder.
- Elder. - It's his last name.
- His last name is Elder. - Where is the Elder family from?
(Where is the Elder family from?)
- Which clan does he belong to? - Which clan does he belong to?
Maybe it's the Virginia clan.
Virginia clan.
(It's a historical family.)
What does he do for a living in Korea?
My wife told me that...
he is one of the best translators in Korea.
Is he Lee Mi Do?
(He is a famous translator.)
Isn't Lee Mi Do a woman?
Gu Ra would have gotten angry...
had I said that, right?
Shorry...
begged to show his specialty.
He really wishes it will air.
- I prepared voice impressions. - You practiced.
I don't know if anyone has done this in the past.
- I can imitate Park Soo Hong's mom. - She is in "Mom's Diary".
No one has done it.
(On the show, she is shocked by her son's behaviors.)
"My goodness."
"My goodness, what is wrong with him?"
(My goodness.)
(He is pretty in sync.)
"What is he doing?"
- He is good. - "My Soo Hong..."
"Soo Hong doesn't know how I feel."
Does Soo Hong's mom speak like that?
"My goodness, don't get waxed."
(It's the climax.)
"Don't get waxed."
(He dedicates himself as if Soo Hong is his own son.)
"What is wrong with him?"
All right.
- That was good. - You sounded similar.
"I am in a good mood."
Let's see the next one.
- The next one is... - He isn't sweating.
I am finally dry.
I will imitate Si An.
- Si An? - Yes, he is Lee Dong Gook's son.
It's a short one.
"I can do this."
(They don't laugh.)
I can do this.
(He tries again.)
That was the second one.
- That was the second one. - I suddenly feel hot.
May we jump to Sang Il's specialty?
"What is wrong with you?"
(He brings back his hit specialty.)
Radio Star doesn't know how I feel.
(He wraps up with his popular specialty.)
This time, Sang Il will show his specialty.
Since Shorry imitated Park Soo Hong's mother,
I will imitate Kim Gun Mo's mother from the same show.
This is what she does when she watches the video.
(Gun Mo's mother is watching a video of her son.)
(My goodness.)
(She laments as if she has given up.)
"What is he doing?"
"My goodness."
- He is good. - He is good.
What is he doing?
- "What is wrong with him?" - "What is Soo Hong doing?"
- "My goodness." - "This is crazy."
"My goodness, don't get waxed."
"Gun Mo's name has a character that means 'Hair'."
That's ridiculous.
My goodness.
- Let's move on to the next one. - My goodness.
- You can imitate Lee Myung Bak. - I don't know if I can do it.
(He channels the former president.)
"Dear citizens."
"I am Lee Myung Bak."
I am speaking through Sang Il.
- He is good. - He sounds exactly like him.
Let's talk to someone with initials of GH.
GH.
Well...
(He averts his gaze.)
"If it's the will of the universe..."
(If it's the will of the universe...)
(While it's funny...)
"It will do its best to help."
Why would a prodigy of traditional Korean music do this?
It's strange.
While he is free to do whatever he wants,
why would a prodigy of traditional Korean music do this?
I don't understand.
(He has a desire to be funny.)
I heard you can also speak with a North Korean dialect.
"It's one of my talents."
"I can do it with diligence."
- "Ask me whenever you want." - He has seen many things.
- Is he a comedian? - He is good.
He has seen many things.
Pansori involves both singing and acting.
You should stick to traditional Korean music.
- Are you nervous? - No.
Pansori is done in Jeolla dialect.
People from Gyeongsang Province can do it. If it goes...
Then Heung Bo.
Brought in a gourd and sliced it.
Those from Gyeongsang Province struggle with Jeolla dialect.
This is how they do it.
(Then Heung Bo brought in a gourd)
Then Heung Bo brought in a gourd.
(They burst out laughing.)
That's hilarious.
- It makes sense. - You liar!
It makes sense.
There is a pansori performance in Gyeongsang dialect now.
- Let's hear it again. - It was funny.
Then Heung Bo brought in a gourd and sliced it.
Heung Bo's wife came out and said.
"Dear, where have you been?"
That's how they do it.
- It sounds awkward. - Pansori is from Jeolla Province.
You should stick to pansori. Don't try to be funny.
You should stick to rap. Don't try to be in a period drama.
I was only expressing my wish.
They are competing in an incredibly small area.
Korean traditional musicians don't usually go to clubs.
Ever since you went to a club once with a friend and got criticized,
you haven't returned.
I went to a nightclub when I was in a university.
- I was severely criticized. - Why?
For over 30 years, I have practiced Korean traditional music.
It's the only music...
my body remembers.
Please show people how you dance at a club.
- Music, please. - You are at a club.
(This is how people usually dance at a club.)
- That's right. - I can't dance...
like that.
(It's very traditional.)
- You are joking. - I am serious.
(His moves are unbelievable.)
(Fascinated)
(He shows traditional dance to the beat of EDM.)
(This is fun.)
(They are in a trance.)
This is funny.
- This is how I dance. - It's more exciting.
I was severely criticized.
(Don't dance like this at a club.)
Shin Dong.
You said you have an ability to look into the future.
With one look at a person's face, you know what will happen.
- Come on. - It's true.
All my predictions come true.
- It's true. - What are you, Shin Don?
(I can see your future.)
What is the story about "Produce 101"?
When I was in the army, I watched many programs about girl groups.
After watching two episodes,
I picked out members I thought would win in the end.
I got 10 out of 11 members right.
- Really? - Yes.
It's uncanny because he can't do the same with men.
(Kyu Hyun's attack leaves him dizzy.)
Perhaps you have an eye for beautiful women.
It's a part of it.
Can't you talk about your family?
My grandmother is a shaman.
I see.
I heard that such abilities skip a generation.
- I am the eldest son in the family. - That's incredible.
That's why...
- I have a knack. - That's incredible.
Your family has such abilities.
I think I have some of those abilities.
Shin Dong, the shaman.
I am not lying.
Would you predict the future?
I can't look into the future whenever I want to.
It just happens.
Can you look into your own future?
- Most shamans can't do that. - Don't you know anything about it?
- I can't do that. - Really?
Even though I am a Catholic,
I went to a fortuneteller.
(Why did you point to me?)
When I went there... I am sorry.
(His image as a traditional Korean musician was erased.)
I asked, "When should I get married?"
He said, "You had a woman you were serious about."
- He saw the news. - He read an article.
- That's possible. - He read an article.
You talked about her a lot on "Strong Heart".
He must have read an article.
He told me that I might cheat on her if I marry her.
I think it's good that you can release such energy...
through music.
What kind of special is this?
- It's Future Special. - It's Talk About Yourself Special.
(He talked about other people.)
Please talk about yourself.
(He is attacked again.)
Sang Il, you want to clear misconceptions...
about Korean traditional musicians.
When people hear "Korean traditional music"...
- They imagine a waterfall. - They think we sit under it...
and sing until we bleed.
- They sing until the bleed. - They drink poop water.
- Those are misconceptions. - Isn't the one about poop true?
People did that in the past...
- because there were no medicines. - I heard that they ate poop.
You shouldn't eat it right away.
In the past, people put a bamboo container...
in a traditional toilet. You have seen bamboo liquor.
- That's right. - There is liquor inside bamboo.
Bamboo acts as a purifier.
- Bamboo does that. - Poop water goes into it.
People didn't drink filtered poop water alone.
- Is it boiled? - They drank water...
that was boiled with various medicinal herbs.
It was known to cure blood extravasation in the throat.
That's why people drank it a long time ago.
These days, there are otolaryngologists and medicines.
There is no need to drink it.
Why does a character eat poop in "Seopyonje"?
The protagonist doesn't eat poop, but a different medicine.
Song Hwa drinks the medicine that was given by his father.
- The medicine makes one go blind. - That's right.
"Korean traditional singers must have deep sorrow."
That's why he did that.
I don't think you need deep sorrow to be a Korean traditional singer.
- It shouldn't be forced. - You need envy.
You need tenacity, jealousy, and envy.
You have all of those qualities.
- Of course he does. - You don't need deep sorrow.
"How dare he gets invited to an event instead of me?"
"How dare he makes more money than me?"
That's how it works.
(Jealousy made him a good singer.)
People also think we throw up blood.
As you all know, throwing up blood is bad...
if you do it like this.
That means your internal organs were damaged.
Then you wouldn't be able to use your throat.
The expression is a figure of speech for an excruciating effort.
Even though I have sung for 30 years,
I only saw blood when I brushed my teeth.
It just doesn't happen.
It's a figure of speech for an excruciating effort.
People also commonly think...
Korean traditional musicians should sing over a waterfall.
Most waterfalls...
with a nice scenery...
have been taken over by boiled chicken restaurants.
If you practice sing there,
customers will say, "Leave! Why would you sing here?"
You can only train that way at a remote waterfall.
Have you done it?
I have done it when I was young. However, practice rooms...
are perfect these days.
Those rooms have air conditioners and heaters.
(Dancing)
Many people worry...
when they have a meal with me.
Whenever I arrive at a restaurant they booked,
- the servers are wearing hanbok. - It's a Korean restaurant.
"Please go to Peony Room."
(He is familiar with those servers.)
It's always a Korean restaurant.
You eat dishes like pizza, right?
I like carbonara.
I like gorgonzola.
However, people always take me to those restaurants.
Since Hyung Wook was little,
his father ran a dog farm.
It was a dog factory.
These days, people call it a dog factory.
Dogs are bred without a plan.
- It's an unethical practice. - That's right.
This was what shocked me the most.
My dad didn't clean up the cages thoroughly.
There were steel cages...
with plates on the bottom for poop and urine.
He forgot to put those plates in place.
He only gave them food and water.
When dogs on the third floor pooped, dogs on the lower floors got dirty.
When they urinated, dogs on the lower floors got dirty.
I went there once a week and cleaned up...
ever since I was in an elementary school.
I often expressed my anger at my dad.
Those experiences piled up...
and made me think, "I like dogs. I want to treat them nicely."
However, it was impossible to change my dad's ways.
It made me want to learn.
I volunteered a lot ever since I was little.
I heard you were surprised by how Koreans treat dogs.
What is the most common mistake Korean people make?
When my wife and I went to Europe or North America,
we noticed we were the only ones who stare at passing dogs.
People there don't give attention to animals that are passing by.
They don't call them cute.
In Korea, people express their love for dogs...
by screaming and picking them up.
They approach the dogs and try to touch them.
Let me make a comparison.
It's like seeing a beautiful woman in Gangnam...
and trying to touch and kiss her.
- It's the same situation. - Don't dogs love...
- getting patted? - They don't.
- Really? - When you look carefully,
you will see that they are trying to get away.
They lick, look away,
and blink.
We try to touch dogs because we don't notice those signs.
I got into trouble in Japan.
- How? - Did you touch a stranger's dog?
A really lovely dog was passing by, so I pat it.
- And the owner yelled at me. - He told you not to touch it.
That's just like touching someone's daughter.
Touching a stranger's dog, you mean.
- Yes. Touching a stranger's dog is. - So it's not a good thing to do.
It can be very dangerous.
- Many people get bitten doing that. - I see.
According to Shin Dong himself,
he's done so many good deeds that...
he came with an expectation to hear people's reports about them.
- I'm expecting it. - So...
- we asked our viewers for reports. - Okay.
- Did you get none? - None.
I am sorry, but we got none.
We even looked for them online, but we couldn't find anything.
Can you tell us yourself?
- What have you done? - I thought about what I did.
And I thought the car accident one was the best one.
I was driving on a small street, and the car in front of me stopped.
So I stopped too.
Suddenly, the car in front reversed.
And it hit my car. So I got out of the car,
and two beautiful ladies got off the car in front.
I asked them if they're okay, and they were in panic.
So I told them, "The car's not important. Are you two all right?"
And one of them said, "We're okay. We're terribly sorry about the car."
I looked at the car, and the car was completely unharmed.
I told them the car was okay and that they could go.
They said, "But how can we?"
They asked if I wanted their number just in case, but I told them...
that they should just go.
So they left.
Aren't there reports like this?
- Goodness. - Goodness.
- That's... - Wasn't I so good?
That's what happens in day-to-day life.
- Now... - I got a report about someone.
This is from Ms. Lee Jin Sil.
- Is it about me? - Is it about someone's good deed?
I am running a cafe in Janggi-dong, Gimpo.
- It's about me, isn't it? - Recently,
Gu Ra visited my cafe with his son and another man.
- He came with his son and manager. - He was my manager.
Gu Ra was wearing a casual outfit with a snapback cap.
Unlike when he's on TV, he looked nice in reality.
- "Unlike when he's on TV". - It's all right.
- I wonder how you are on TV. - At the time, they ordered...
- too many dishes for three people. - We ordered a lot.
We didn't know how much to order and ended up ordering a lot.
Please be quiet.
Right. You should be quiet when we talk about you.
- Isn't this too personal? - They ordered...
- The car accident story is better. - It's not finished yet.
- Wait for it. - Is that right?
My staff who was serving Gu Ra's table...
failed to check the table space when putting down a plate,
and she ended up spilling...
- coffee on Gu Ra's pants. - Right. She spilled iced latte.
We were all flustered and didn't know what to do, but Gu Ra smiled...
and told us that it was okay. And we were very touched by it.
Since then we all became Gu Ra's fans.
I remember it. It happened fairly recently.
Do you call that a good deed?
- What matters more? Pants or a car? - Hey.
It's just a heartwarming story, you know?
(Gu Ra tries to defend his story.)
You actually suffer from a urinary incontinence, don't you?
- Was it your urination? - No.
Gu Ra doesn't get upset in a situation like that.
- He's a gentleman. - Of course he doesn't.
- I always... - Right.
- He complains as he comes out. - No. I...
- He badmouths them outside. - No.
"Gosh!"
(I knew he'd say that.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today, we are here with four desperate men.
So they prepared the songs that show their desperation.
Let's listen to Sang Il's choice of song first.
(It's an unexpected choice.)
I never expected it.
You're not going to sing a Korean traditional song.
- I thought you would. - When you hear it,
- you will know. - Right.
I am going to sing it in Korean traditional music style.
Why did you choose this song?
Whenever I went to a karaoke with my friends,
- I used to sing trot songs. - Right.
Trot songs can be sung with a similar singing method.
One day, I randomly tried singing this song.
I sang it with the original key.
- Did you? - And I could hit all the notes.
- Could you? - Amazing.
I will try to sing this ballad song while keeping the authenticity...
of Korean traditional music intact.
Bravo, Sang Il.
Korean traditional musicians sing well.
- Of course they do. - Their vocal range is...
- very big. - Of course.
(He stands elegantly and gets ready to sing.)
(Are you still single)
(It sounds enchanting.)
(He's very serious.)
(He sings "I Have a Lover" with the emotions of "Chunhyanga".)
(I have a lover)
(He's paying attention for the first time today.)
(It's hard to believe that he's the same person...)
(who was desperately trying to be funny.)
(The variety show rookie sings with all his heart.)
(The song is nearing the refrain part, which is high.)
(He looks stable.)
(He's so precious that I hid him deep)
(He sings high notes effortlessly.)
(Everyone is in love with his singing method.)
(It's the climax.)
(Only my tears know)
(He finishes it elegantly with a beautiful falsetto finish.)
He's really good.
- Bravo! - Bravo, Sang Il!
Actually, I thought he was going to make it funny.
- But it was so beautiful. - I know.
Only the first bar was funny. The rest was very touching.
- He's really good. - It sounded sad.
- When you were singing, - I loved your voice.
- Jong Shin kept praising you. - You should be on "Phantom Singer".
- That will be amazing. - You will do really well.
How about on "Monthly Jong Shin"?
I don't think he suits "Monthly Jong Shin".
(He doesn't quite suit the concept.)
It's too bad that we didn't get to hear it until the end.
(He doesn't sound like he means it at all.)
Why do you say things you don't mean?
He says things he doesn't mean whenever the end nears.
(Gu Ra's meaningless lines let them know it's time to go home.)
Today was "The Desperate Men Special".
After talking to these four desperate men, I realized this.
No, no, no.
(Gook Jin desperately tries to sing.)
- You sing well. - They are not desperate.
(He's good.)
With desperation and overflowing talent,
we hope you will thrive in your own field.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
