(This program is a documentary where two national
MCs go to find dinner in a jungle-like ecosystem.)
(Urgent News!)
Hello, everyone. I'm the new MC of "Let's Eat Dinner
Together" for the new year of the rooster, Jun Hyun-moo.
Productive MC Jun Hyun-moo, a former announcer
who survived the harsh jungle of entertainment.
And I'm Han Suk-joon!
And the familiar one who jumped into the tiger's den with Hyun-moo...Who are you?
- While watching this show, I thought there should be some changes. - Yes.
When things are stable, there should be outsiders coming in to shake things up.
(There's something familiar about this)
I feel like we're filming "Live Info Show" right now.
- Where's Lee Ji-hye? - It's been so long.
Right?
These two former announcers are ambitiously standing here aiming for KyuDong's job.
(Meanwhile, KyuDong...)
- We can't forget it, right? - It's cold, isn't it?
(They don't know anything...)
Let us introduce ourselves for the new year of 2017. I'm
the new MC of "Let's Eat Dinner Together" Jun Hyun-moo!
- I'm Han Suk-joon! - It's nice to meet you!
(Who are they?)
Welcome! Why are you lingering around?
(Are they welcoming them with bright smiles?)
(They must have been surprised, huh?)
I came here thirty minutes ago, and I met Suk-joon in the elevator.
Oh, you did?
- Do you think we're the guests of this show? - Who?
Do you think we're the guests?
- Then you tell us. - I don't know.
Starting from this year, there will be four MCs.
- Oh, us four? - Yes, us four. You don't believe me?
Do whatever you want.
If this is a lie, you monopolized the JTBC viewers.
Then we'll withdraw.
If you're going to be so serious...
- Why would you even bring up monopolizing? - Don't even use such a word!
- Kyung-kyu. - It's cold. Make it brief.
(That's his first comment of the day...)
- You didn't even say anything yet. - They don't use the intro anyways.
(Entertainment rookie entered a new world)
To be honest, Hyun-moo is just a bunch bubbles.
- Because... - Hold on. Is he even famous for anything?
I'm quietly getting up there.
Did Suk-joon tag along with you?
Technically, he came as an option.
He tagged along, right? It looks to be that way.
Han Suk-joon is actually a blue ocean.
He hasn't been exposed much yet.
Me? I didn't even know I was an ocean.
Unexpectedly, he can be a headache.
- You're both former announcers. - The PD is giving you something.
Hold on! Give us some time for the opening!
(The one who wants to leave/ The one who wants to do an opening)
Hold on! We didn't talk about last week!
(Go away!)
For the opening, we need to mention what happened last week.
Do it by yourself!
(KyuDong's discord is worse than the rumors)
(PD-in-charge appears again)
(After aggressive struggling, the delivery has been completed)
Let's talk about Dapsimni just once!
The family I went to was so amazing!
(Explodes into a fit of rage)
(A situation where he threw the spoons)
Do you guys do this every week?
(You guys don't do this every week, do you?)
"Go to Seoul's Paris and eat dinner there."
- Seoul's Paris? - Seoul's Paris? Where's that?
They only mention that bakery.
- Hey. Where's that club in Seoul? - What?
Paris people!
This is unbelievable. Ho-dong changed so much.
(Blank)
(Godfather of Entertainment has no idea why they're laughing...)
(Oh! I found it!)
I looked up Seoul's Paris and Paris Park came out.
- Yes. Paris Park. - Paris Park?
- Paris Park is in Mok-dong - Really?
- Yes. Near apartment 5. - He's from Mok-dong.
(Hyun-moo is from Mok-dong, so he's familiar with Paris Park)
(Dinner's destination is Mok-dong)
Mok-dong is filled with apartments. So you want us to go to apartments tonight?
That's right. Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, Korea.
It was named Mok-dong because there were many trees
there, but now, there are more apartments than trees.
It's a neighborhood where outstanding Hyun-moo spent his school days there.
I wondered why they didn't come to apartments. I thought they only went to houses.
That's why we prepared the first apartment challenge on the show.
What kind of dinners with these four men eat in the
jungle-like apartments that symbolize the city?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 13: Your Apartment.
Let's divide ourselves. Team Announcers vs. Team KyuDong.
We're teaming up like this?
- Let's go then. - Shouldn't we check one more time then?
- Let's go before he starts talking. - Check while we're walking.
(Feels like something is missing)
(Entertainment rookie thinks it's funny that Ho-dong is criticized)
Hey. What's going on? Are you a guest?
- No, I was just passing by, so I wanted to say hi. - Is he coming, too?
- You don't know him, do you? He's an idol from Cross Gene. - Hello.
Oh, hi. It's cold.
I don't know your name...
You should come with us!
(R...Right now?)
Don't interview anyone who passes by. The filming will take much longer.
(Godfather of Entertainment's concise interview rule/ Bowing)
We should listen to him sing!
Why would we do that? We'll just embarrass him!
Next time then.
Let's count how many times the polite idol bowed.
(Ever since they first met...)
(While they were talking...)
(Endlessly bowing until they go their separate ways)
(Shin Won-ho left after 16 bows)
We especially prepared mittens for you.
Mok-dong.
(Boarding onto the bus heading towards Mok-dong)
(Uncomfortable)
(Departed for Mok-dong/ Current time 3:05 PM)
These two are China savvy.
Hey. Only say the things that will be useful on
the show. Do you think they're going to use that?
They're not going to use anything you said on the show.
You need to self-reflect.
Were you happy when you became a KBS announcer?
- Yes. - Yes, of course.
Then why'd you betray KBS?
Why do you call it betrayal?
Why'd you betray "1 Night 2 Days?"
(Let's both die)
You're a betrayer.
(The muddy fight of the two betrayers (?))
He was fired from "1 Night 2 Days."
Why were you fired from "Running Man?"
You were going to go on that show.
Then you were fired from two weekend shows?
You were thrilled to go on "Running Man," so why'd you suddenly quit?
(Tried to get his parts but ended up speechless)
(It's nice that it's quiet)
You were happy to be part of KBS, so why'd you quit?
It's really hard to turn in a resignation letter because the
salary is like a drug. You receive it on time every month.
- How can you say drug? You just need to say it's addicting! - It's addicting.
You insect!
How can you say drug?
(Tearing up in front of the love spanking...)
He's so free right now that he's saying anything
- in order to live. - He says whatever he wants.
I was okay with that. He was just using the word to emphasize that.
I'm so curious. As a late-bloomer in variety shows, do I need to follow him or him?
- Not him? - The PDs are letting Ho-dong get away with this,
but if we did the same thing, we'd be in big trouble.
The genius types consider us effort types to be frustrating.
- So I... - Normal people think there's nothing to learn from genius types.
We, effort types, have no choice but to endlessly make an effort.
It's the most frightening when fools gain principles.
(The road of entertainment is still too far and difficult for a rookie)
That's not important. The question is, will you two be able to eat dinner tonight?
I predict we'll be able to eat by the third house.
- I'm serious. - We have high credibility. We look very trustworthy.
Yeah, right. No one knows who you are.
They could assume that we won't eat a lot either.
Kyung-kyu and Ho-dong believe the rookies' convictions are foolish.
Anyways, on one bright day, they arrived at their destination in Mok-dong.
(Arrived at Mok-dong/ Current time 3:35 PM)
- Oh, wow! Look! - What's this?
(There's the poster for "Let's Eat Dinner Together!")
- JTBC is pushing us forward! - They're totally supporting you!
This costs a lot of money!
It's on the back, too.
You should've put Kyung-kyu there! Why did you put me there?
You should've put Kyung-kyu there!
(Upset)
Was this always here?
Hold on! Why are you kicking that?
Who the heck put this here? Huh?
"Let's Eat Together" is our show, but they only put me on the entire page.
Kyung-kyu should be on the other side.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Is Kyung-kyu's exclusive poster on the opposite side?)
It's not there.
- It's not there! - My goodness!
(Boiling with anger)
It's better to put Ho-dong on there for things related to eating.
(Already threw his spoon down twice today)
(Forget this!)
(Low kick out of anger)
(Save us)
- Why are you hitting us? - You shouldn't
throw your spoon no matter how angry you are!
Kyung-kyu's spoon is suffering today.
I think the producer is going to have to explain this one.
No, it's not like that. There are other posters around. I'll be on other bus stops.
Ho-dong is only on this bus stop.
Wow. It's been a while.
It looks the same.
- If we go down a bit further, my middle school will appear. - Really?
- He grew up here. - Kyung-kyu, Hyun-moo graduated from Yonsei University.
He also wrote for a newspaper before.
- I can say it right? Chosun Ilbo. - Yes, and he
also became an announcer for YTN and KBS, too.
He consecutively turned his coat.
- What? - He consecutively turned his coat.
And then finally I chose JTBC.
(His final decision is JTBC)
(A conceptual shift that changed a crisis into an opportunity)
This is free Hyun-moo's secret to survival.
JTBC was the one who saved me.
That's similar to my case.
(I chose JTBC, too)
- Kyung-kyu is very... - Hello! Where are you coming from?
What grade are you in? Fifth grade? You're going up to sixth grade? That's cool!
- What's cool? - Do you have a talent? Show us.
- Why are you making him suddenly do this? - Ready and...
(Take off?)
- Why are you taking your clothes off? - What are you going to do?
- You can do a handstand? - Out of the blue?
(I'm a Mok-dong elementary student (?))
(On top of that, he's walking!)
- You're a rare specimen. Oh my god. - You're amazing!
Come and follow us like that.
You can stop now.
(You're cool, Mok-dong elementary student (?))
- What's your name? - Yoo Hee-sang.
Are you an athlete?
Why did you do a handstand?
- I do it at the academy to help me focus. - You're brave and amazing.
- How do you do a handstand? - What's your future dream?
- You're burdening him. - A Youtube Creator.
A Youtube Creator.
- What's that? - Elementary students these days dream about becoming that.
Thanks!
Take care!
This place is packed with apartments.
Haven't they been around for a while?
The apartments look exactly the same as it did when I used to live here.
- What does Mok-dong mean? - It means trees. The
character "Mok" engraved on there means tree.
- This place is amazing. - Why?
- Do you see that study room? It looks the same as before. - Really?
We called this the "Third Room" because it was a study room on the third floor.
Students shorten the words, so it's called "Third Room."
- This neighborhood is... - My goodness! Royal Sauna is still here!
This is the Royal Building.
Wow, this is amazing! There used to be a ping-pong room on the third floor.
- So it looks the same as your school days? - Almost the same.
Everything is the same.
(Deeply moved)
- There's Simnok Middle School. - I feel like
time just stopped. It's exactly the same.
- My middle school? - Your Alma mater?
My Alma mater.
- Even the bookstore seems the same. - Really?
Yes.
This was the place where Hyun-moo spent his school days dreaming of his future.
And now in the same place, we meet Hyun-moo who has become an adult.
- Hey. - It's the same.
Cry!
Out of nowhere? Can't you give me some time?
(Godfather of Entertainment's tactic to milk his parts)
(They arrived at Paris Park)
- It was created in 1987. - Really?
It was to commemorate the 100 years of diplomatic relations.
(This park was created in 1987 to commemorate the
100 years of diplomatic relations with France)
In Paris, France there is a Seoul Park that symbolizes Korea)
There are replicas of the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower.
Look at how the buildings are the same. Nothing has changed at all.
- Paris. - I rode my bicycle around here.
(Hyun-moo's memories are in Paris Park, too...)
- There's the Eiffel Tower. - It's so tiny!
That didn't exist in my days.
- The Eiffel Tower is tiny. - So they created it.
- What's that on the left? - The Arc de Triomphe.
(Petite Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower)
This is 1/100 of its normal size. The real size is written on there.
Move over a bit, Kyung-kyu.
Sit down. Let's play Shiritori.
Seriously!
(Laughing)
We need to beat the announcers, Kyung-kyu!
The three of you play.
Let's beat them, Kyung-kyu!
Why would we play Shiritori on a cold day?
They're announcers, so they should know a lot of words.
They'll compete as announcers, and we'll compete as MCs.
My lips are frozen, so I can't even speak.
Let's play. There are 4 players.
- Right! It's going to start with Kyung-kyu. - Okay.
- Do simple words. - How many characters?
Three characters!
(Team KyuDong vs. Team Announcers)
Lee Kyung-kyu.
Kyu Line.
In-line.
- Insta... - Wrong!
Why?
How can you not get that? Come here.
- Why? - Move your hand.
(Slap)
(Pain that strikes one's bone marrow)
- He hit really hard! - 1:0.
There aren't many things that start with "In."
There are! Insadong, In-line, Insta.
- I said Insta - You said no though.
- But you were late! - That's a trademark though.
It doesn't matter!
- Hurry up. - Shiritori wasn't played this way in your days, huh? In your comedy days?
We were like this...
(Oh, whatever...)
He's like a drunkard.
Let's try that for old times' sake.
Kyung-kyu. One, two, three, four!
Dongdaemun.
Threshold.
King of Fart.
What?
- What's King of Fart? - You said it could be any three characters!
(Slap)
(Godfather of Entertainment's wrath)
Broadcast! There are so many words!
- Oh, there was broadcast. - Mill!
- King of Fart. - What the heck is wrong with you? You look so normal.
The funny thing is, once you think of a strange
word, you can't think of any other words.
- Get hit once as a warning. - Oh, whatever.
Your reaction must be funny.
It really hurts!
That's weak.
The sound has to be loud for it to be funny, but it was
- so quiet, and it hurt a lot. - His reaction is very dull.
What's up with your reaction?
Watch Hyun-moo.
(Acting frivolous)
Watch.
(Godfather of Entertainment throws his body on the ground)
(An energetic reaction)
This is entertainment.
Now you try it.
(Tsk tsk...)
It's weird if I do it!
You need to learn about variety shows from the beginning.
- Teach him! - Teach him what?
- Like how to fall. - Okay, okay.
- So we're taking turns ringing the bell? - Huh?
- We ring one... - Yes, and they ring the next one.
If we did it, and the doors opens, do we only go inside?
- Yes. - We'll go someplace else.
- Oh, I see. - And then we say good-bye from there.
- Really? - So it's the end then? Really?
- There's no closing. There's a game though. - What game?
It's called "I compliment you! I'm very, very disappointed!"
- What's that? - Is that the name?
It's the name.
Each person makes three compliments about the other person.
- And three negatives. - Three negatives about
the other person. This is our usual game.
So... "I compliment you! I'm very, very disappointed!"
You have to meet that tone. "Very, very disappointed."
Kyung-kyu hates things like this the most.
"Disappointed." Not like that. In the keys sol, sol, and mi. "Disappointed."
(I must hold it in...)
It's time to pick the houses now.
There are apartment buildings, so let's examine those.
Did your mother decide to move here when you entered
school, or did you always live in Mok-dong?
We moved here for school.
- Oh, you lived somewhere else? - Yes.
We lived somewhere else and moved here because of the competitive
- schools. - Yes, there are competitive schools in Mok-dong.
Yes, that's why.
- So you came here for the good school district? - Yes.
- She matched her schedule to fit me. - So there are families who do that.
Yes, there are many of them, especially here.
Many people move to Mok-dong for their children's education.
Yes, because of the good school district.
- It's all for the important school environment. - Right.
As you can see, there are many academies.
- All buildings have academies. - There isn't a building without an academy there.
- Mok-dong is filled with academies, right? - Yes.
Then dinnertime could be inflexible because
- they're all preparing for their academies. - Right.
- Which academy are you going to? - Are you going to an academy?
(Who is this man?)
- Hi! - Hello!
Are you going to an academy?
- Where are you going? - Home.
- Coming from school? - Are you in middle or high school?
Middle school.
Then tell us this. After school, what academies do you go to?
Math and English.
- Math and English. - What time do you eat dinner?
I eat around eight o'clock when academy is over.
(That late?)
Do your parents wait to eat with you or do they just
- set dinner for you? - They set dinner just for me.
Do you go to math and English academies every day?
Yes, I go every day.
- Third year of middle school? - First year.
First year. Then, for math, do you learn the ones for
second and third year, or whatever you're learning now?
- Prerequisite learning. - Oh, prerequisite learning?
Could you introduce yourself please?
- What are you saying? - Did you speak French?
(Dropped his spoon for the third time)
- Introduce yourself in English. - Can you introduce yourself please?
- Uh...okay. - Okay.
My name is Jang Se-yoon. I am fourteen years old.
And I'm going to middle school.
And I study...and play games...my hobby.
(He's cute)
(Telling his friend to introduce himself, too)
- Can you introduce? - My name is Lim Seung-joon.
The end.
(I like him a lot)
Kyung-kyu likes this kind of style. He doesn't talk a lot.
- Study hard. - Can I have a picture?
- Let's take it! - Sure!
(Taking a commemorative photo with Se-yoon)
(I hope he likes the picture.../ His face got cut off)
- Let's go ask them. - Who?
Let's go to the tented vendor... I mean, the real estate
and ask them about the people living in this neighborhood.
- You're right. - If we find that out, will it be
easier to find someone who will open the door for us?
Kyung-kyu loves to talk about real estate.
This is real estate.
(Real estates are side by side)
Hello!
(They go inside the one that Ho-dong made eye-contact with)
- They'll be friendly, right? - Can we just go in anywhere we want?
We're going in as we please without any permission.
(Confused)
Did you buy a house?
- We need to find out about Mok-dong. - I see.
So we...
Congratulations on buying a house.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
How much is it per pyeong in Mok-dong?
- Per pyeong... - He wants to move here.
Currently, twenty-seven pyeong is about $900,000.
- Full price? - Full price.
- Twenty-seven pyeong? - Yes.
Mok-dong is very much alive.
But there aren't dealings right now.
- What about leasing? - It's between $450,000 to $510,000.
- It's expensive. - It's very expensive.
It's expensive because of the good school district.
This place didn't change at all ever since I lived here a long time ago.
So what about this? Tonight, when we ring the doorbell, we
want to eat with a family and share sincere stories with them.
Is there someone who will open the door for us?
I'm not sure.
There are many working couples in this area, so they're not home during
the day, and it's not easy for us to show their houses to buyers.
- Everyone is busy? - Which apartment complex do you recommend for us?
(Thinking)
You must have a gut feeling.
Many seniors live in apartment 5.
Apartments 3 and 5 are pretty spacious.
- Do they use the same front door? Do we need a code? - No, no.
- So we can go in an out as we freely please. - Yes.
- Then we can go. - Thank you for the useful information.
- Thank you. - You surprised me.
- You were very nice to us. - I never saw a show where you don't cast them beforehand.
She must be in high spirits after selling a house today.
- Congratulations. - We wish you the best.
- Thank you. - Bye.
(They leave the real estate with light hearts)
In this massive forest of apartments, they must now
investigate which apartment complex will give them dinner.
(Investigating Mok-dong apartment complexes/ Current time 4:10 PM)
- Since it's an apartment, many people can't go in there at once. - That's true.
- So take a camera and film it yourself while interviewing them. - Sounds good.
Give me the camera.
(A camera is provided to each team)
This is an exhausting variety show.
I've never been on a show like this one where you don't take any breaks.
My lips are frozen right now.
(After going up, they're going to come down and investigate each level!)
Please get off.
(Elevator spits out a crowd of men)
- So it's like this. - It's the same.
(An apartment made up of of corridors)
The wind is stronger since we're up higher.
Corridors.
You press this one.
(KyuDong check out the doorbells first!)
- We just need to look at one level. - After that, everything is the same.
Let's take a look at the neighborhood from here. Wow!
- It's kind of scary. - The buildings are low, so you can see pretty far.
I'm hungry.
Come here.
Go away!
- It found us! Come here! - Go away!
(They're happy to see the drone at such a high place/ Except for him)
Stop creating winds and go away!
It's controlled very nicely. It isn't easy to do that.
- Is this your home, ma'am? - Oh, my!
- Did she open the door for us? - Hello.
Ma'am, what time do you usually eat dinner?
- Us? - Yes.
- Eight o'clock. - Why do you eat so late?
- My kid has to go to the academy. - Who lives here?
My husband, my kid, and me.
How old is your kid?
- She's eight. - Eight.
So most people who live here are around your age with children?
- They're mostly parents and students. - Right?
It won't be easy to find families who eat between six and eight o'clock, right?
Right. The kids come back from English academy around six o'clock.
(Most students spend their dinner time at academies)
- How long have you lived here? - For about a year now.
- Then did you move here for your kid? - Yes.
- For their education. - Yes.
- Hyun-moo, they're like you. They came here from a different place. - Right.
It seems like there's a teacher inside. What were you learning?
The piano teacher is here.
Oh, mi-re-mi-re-mi-ti-re-do-la! "Fur Eliza."
Eliza?
(You mean "Fur Elise...")
I feel like I'm seeing my old self.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
What a small world. I met a friend of a friend.
(As they go down, they inspect each level)
- This level looks a bit different. - It does?
(A family who installed the front door at the end of the hallway)
Unexpectedly, there are no people right now.
(Their anxiety grows as they see the empty houses...)
- It's the same here. - There are bicycles in all the hallways.
By the size of the bicycles and hula hoops, you can tell
- there are young kids around. - There are young kids here.
- I think this is a very difficult program. - It is. It's cold, too.
We don't even know if people will open the doors for
us, but it's hard to find houses with people inside.
I was shocked after we went into real estate without permission.
The real estate agent was probably shocked, too.
After investigating in different ways, night has
fallen over the forest of Mok-dong apartments.
Will this city's apartment welcome these four hungry men?
Winter is usually cold, but after the sun has gone
down, I feel like the temperature dropped ten degrees.
Earlier, I could bear it, but now I want to hurry up and go inside from the cold.
This is the first time we're doing apartments. Will we succeed?
We'll have to see about that, but until now, it's been
difficult to tell if people were home or not.
You can kind of see it.
For apartments, we can check from here and then go inside.
It's possible to see what number in what floor we'll go to.
It's six o'clock right now, and there are
more people home than I expected there to be.
But I'm still anxious.
How will you introduce yourself?
- I'm going to ring the bell and generally introduce ourselves. - How?
- Ring the bell. - Hello, I'm announcer Jun Hyun-moo.
Ding-dong. Hi, I'm Jun Hyun-moo. It's nice to meet you.
"Who is Jun Hyun-moo?"
- Don't you know me? - "No, I don't."
(Using his lethal move!)
Don't joke around!
- I'm not joking! - Don't joke around on our show!
- Why would I joke around? - Be sincere!
This is a program that shows a dinner scene. This
is not a contest, and we're not trying to show off.
- I have no intention of doing that. - Be sincere.
Of course. Let's hurry up and eat, so we can get this over with.
- You shouldn't joke around either. - I don't normally joke around.
His problem is that he doesn't joke around at all.
- Don't hit me! - He needs to joke around.
I want to be fun, too.
Be serious. Seriously introduce yourself!
Don't regret it if we're too serious.
You keep talking back to me!
- Just do it! - Okay, okay.
- Don't joke around! - Okay.
- Don't do this from the beginning! - I won't.
- I think he should do it. - Why?
- They need to charge inside. - We'll take care of it!
What do you know? Give that to me, Kyung-kyu. Try it. Cue.
Ding-dong!
(I should just-!!)
I told you not to do it! Is this a joke to you?
Ho-dong told me to do it! Fine, fine.
(Tattered and torn)
- Cheer up. Let's do our best. Don't joke around. - I won't. I'll do my best.
We can't fail in Mok-dong.
- We'll show you a peaceful dinner of a Mok-dong family. - Good. That's it.
(Is he trying to be funny with his face...?)
You totally look like an Avatar! You're an Avatar!
Oh, you called him an Avatar?
- I thought you said his face was like an apartment. - I thought so, too.
One, two, three! Go!
(Cheering while wishing for success!)
- People will be home, since it's cold. - There are many people home.
We should check the row before we go.
- The middle line. - There are many people home in the middle row.
(The four men are finally entering the apartment...)
"The weather is very cold. Please close the door."
(Dark)
I don't remember which homes had the lights on.
Okay, okay, okay. Realistically...
this is different from what we saw on the outside.
Now that we came here, the lights are gone.
That's right. I'm confused. I don't remember.
- Go that way. - That way first?
(Kyung-kyu is giving the new guests a chance first)
The light was on here...
Team Announcers gets to ring the bell first in the apartments.
(He pressed it!)
I hear sounds of people.
(Nervous)
Is no one home?
(Silent...)
No one is home.
- No one's home? - Yeah.
(The first apartment challenge has failed in vain!)
- Hyun-moo, you try it? - Me?
(Kyung-kyu's warm heart wants to show them the taste of communication)
Try it. Try it.
(Ding~dong)
That's an old-fashioned bell.
(Thump, thump)
(The keypad suddenly lights up)
(Is someone home...?)
(He rings the bell one more time)
(Only the lights turn on again.../ Confused)
(Laughing behind the rookies)
(The doorbell is unresponsive)
(The second house has no answer either)
There are many houses that have the lights on even though no one is home.
Hyun-moo, we thought we were in a better situation than before, but
in reality, there are many empty homes that just have the lights on.
- What do we do? - We can't be sure then.
This means this isn't going to be easy.
- Did you stop us just to tell us that? - Yes. I wanted to explain this to you.
This is actually pretty scary. Ringing the doorbell is scary.
Hyun-moo! Hyun-moo!
That's a very good bicycle!
- There are kids! - Kids. Kids. Kids. Kids.
(A bicycle that allows them to predict kids live here!)
(They discovered another home with the lights on!)
(Feeling very nervous to ring the doorbell)
- Don't be nervous. - This is really scary.
(The bell rings!)
- Who is it? - It's a kid!
Hello. I'm announcer Han Suk-joon.
Hello?
- Hello. I'm announcer Han Suk-joon. - Oh, I see.
Have you eaten dinner yet?
No. We're going to go out to eat.
- Pardon? - We're going out to eat.
Oh, you are?
Have a happy dinner.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
(The first communication ended in vain)
(Ho-dong is giving the rookie a tip (?))
Someone's home.
(Hyun-moo tries again)
(He rang the doorbell...but there's no sound)
Who is it?
Hello!
I'm announcer Jun Hyun-moo.
- Pardon? - I'm television personality Jun Hyun-moo.
I see.
I'm from the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Oh, you can't come in right now. Do you guys go to apartments, too?
Yes, we do.
My kid already ate though.
- Oh, you're already done eating? - Yes.
- You're not going to eat again? - Yes.
Oh, I see.
What did you eat?
- Stir-fried small octopus. - Beef radish soup?
- Stir fried small octopus. - Sounds delicious!
(Stir-fried small octopus lashes out against hunger...)
What time did you eat?
About 4:30...
- You ate at 4:30? - You ate very early.
- Okay then. Bye. - Bye.
- Sing the song for her. - Why? She can't even see me.
(Since both rookies have tasted the bitterness)
- Okay. Watch the master.- Okay.
- That's a good one. - Good!
Now is the time to show what the originators can do.
(Kyung-kyu rings the bell)
(Ho-dong runs over)
- Is this the right one? - Who is it?
- Hello! I'm champion Kang Ho-dong! - Excuse me?
I'm champion Kang Ho-dong.
(Hangs up)
(What were you going to show them...?)
(Dizzy)
You wanted to dance here?
(Speechless due to Ho-dong's expert ease (?))
Hold on. Let's sit down on the stairs for a minute.
- There's no time! - He's right.
- Why did you even say it like that? - They would be scared of you.
You should've been sincere about it.
- Let's go to a different complex. - Let's go to a different complex.
With realization that their first challenge in an apartment
isn't going to be easy, they exit the first complex.
There weren't many lights on here.
Most of the lights are off.
We had gone to a place with the least amount of lights.
- Ho-dong? - Yes?
- The lights are all on here. - Those are the hallways.
(They move to the next complex where more lights are on)
Go inside and turn right.
This row is good.
- It's almost seven o'clock. Let's hurry up! - We're in trouble.
- It's almost seven? - Yes.
Do we have to eat ramen at a convenience store?
(Will they be able to expect dinner in this complex?)
Hyun-moo, the lights are on!
(Rushes over when he hears that the lights are on)
(Hyun-moo pompously rings the doorbell!)
- Someone's home! - Who is it?
Hello. I'm announcer Jun Hyun-moo.
Hello?
Hello. I'm announcer Jun Hyun-moo.
(The door opens for the first time today!)
- Hi. - It's really him!
Did you eat already?
Hello. I'm announcer Jun Hyun-moo.
(The door opens for the first time today!)
- Hi. - It's really him!
Did you eat already?
- We were eating. - What happens then?
- It's okay then! - Can we eat together? We can
share feelings and have a sincere talk, too.
- We can make memories. - We can make memories.
- Our home is messy. - It's fine.
You're eating something yummy. Can I eat with you?
- If you're sad, Jun Hyun-moo will dance for you, too. - Come in.
(Just like that...?)
Do we go in? What about you guys?
We can't go in.
(Team Announcers enter first!)
- Hello. Hello. - Oh my goodness.
(They really succeeded...)
- We're from JTBC's "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - Oh, I know it!
- You do, right? With Kang Ho-dong and Lee Kyung-kyu. - Why aren't they coming in?
Should we switch then?
- Hello! - There's Lee Kyung-kyu.
- We saw the Itaewon episode. - Oh, you did!
- You must be a fan of them. - We should have been the ones to come in here. Oh, no.
- Were you on your way out? - Yes, so I could throw the trash away.
Oh, so you were about to go out.
I shouldn't go out.
You just have to give them the food you usually eat.
When you have kids, parents usually eat baby
food with them. We can eat baby food as well.
- Yes. - Just give us what you have.
- There's no time, so we'll be going now. - Bye.
- Cheer up! - The important thing is that you must have a
sincere talk with them and share your feelings with them.
It's cold, so can you shut the door?
- Have a good time! - Thank you!
- We did it in one go. - I knew it.
- See? I told you we could do it. - Good.
(Bitter...)
They went in so easily.
People open doors for them because of their good hearts.
They're very good people. You can tell they're a harmonious family.
- Did you just start to eat? - Yes, we were just about to eat.
- Let me prepare a little bit more. - No you don't have to give
us special treatment. We'll just eat whatever you usually eat.
Then I'll just take out the side dishes.
- You don't usually eat side dishes. - Of course I do. I make them myself.
- Why do you make them? Are you a better cook? - Yes, he is.
I cook very well.
Oh, what about your wife?
- I'm a good eater. - It's very organized, too.
(The refrigerator is neatly organized!)
- Wow. The refrigerator is... - You can tell what
kind of person he is from the way this is organized.
You can tell he's a veteran house-husband by his back.
- Didn't you take out too much food? - No, it's fine.
What's his name?
- Park Ji-hoo. - How old are you?
- Four? - You're four-years-old?
What's your name?
Park Se-ah.
- Se-ah? How old is she? - She's fifteen months now.
Ji-hoo and Se-ah.
Wow. You can tell he has cooked before.
(Expert)
Egg from beef boiled in soy sauce?
Yes, egg and mushroom.
- Did you make it yourself? - Of course.
Doesn't it take long to make that? It's very hard to make.
- It takes a long time, but it's very comfortable. - You're amazing.
Oh, my. Look how he uses tongs to pick them up.
This is very burdensome.
- This dropped on the floor. - What are you doing just walking around?
I'm an extra.
Do you not cook at all?
No, I do, but my husband is much better than I am, so he surpasses me.
If one person is good at it, then the other person doesn't really do it.
This is going on TV. My mother-in-law will see this.
What's this?
It's fried kimchi and pork.
Wow! It looks delicious! Did your wife make this?
I made it.
(Say ah~!)
(He eats it right away)
- Oh, burdock. Does he eat burdock? - Yes.
I was wondering if he gave me what he didn't eat.
- That's his favorite side dish. - Burdock?
That means he likes you.
I spent my infant period in Mok-dong.
- I know that. - You do?
- I heard you graduated from all schools in Mok-dong. - Yes. Oh, really?
- You're really famous here. - I just can't get
around without all the attention. How uncomfortable.
Don't misunderstand. I'm not a fan of you.
- He thought you'd misunderstand. - I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry, but are you two a working couple? - Yes.
- So both of you go to work? - Yes.
- But how did you get off work so early? - I get off at five o'clock sharp.
(What kind of job lets him get off at five o'clock sharp?)
I work at Korea GM, a car company.
- Oh, but you can get off so early? - It's because it's the holidays.
I work at a foreign company, and most foreign employees
go on vacation that lasts between two to three weeks.
So because there aren't many employees around
to make decisions, I'm able to get off early.
- It's okay if this goes on air, right? - It's a holiday special.
What does your wife do for a living?
We work in the same company.
- Oh, really? - You two are a company couple.
- You're right. - You worked there first, right?
No, we entered the company at the same time.
So where did you guys meet?
At our orientation.
- I picked her right away. - As soon as you saw her?
Of course.
(A good choice)
- You probably can't lie since you work in the same place. - Right.
- You can't lie about your salary or bonus. - Right.
(Righteous same company couple)
You can't even make an emergency fund.
Men depend on emergency funds.
(Pat, pat)
- Look straight into my eyes. You really don't have one? - I don't.
- Look at my eyes. - Okay.
Your pupils are shaking.
- You really don't have one. - I really don't.
- Oh, really? - The reason why I don't have one is
because my wife has the accredited certificate.
Tell them everything.
- You can't do anything about accredited certificates. - There's nothing you can do.
Hold on.
(It's all done!)
- There's a flood of side dishes! - What's all this? Wow!
I need to take a photo of evidence.
This is the dinner of a company couple living in an apartment in Mok-dong.
The husband's excellent cooking skills are clearly evident here.
It's the dinner table wives dream about.
We're going to do a real dinner table theater.
Please pretend we're not here and show us.
One, two, three! Action!
Se-ah, let's eat.
(Real Dinner Table/ ~ Dinner in a Mok-dong apartment)
Se-ah, let's eat.
Let’s eat.
(Daddy)
(2nd generation filial daughter who takes care of her dad first)
Time to eat.
(I don't want to eat)
Let's eat tangerine after dinner.
(Tempted!)
Good girl!
- Good job. - Oh, success!
Ji-hoo, aren't you going to eat?
I'm full.
- Then you can't eat dessert later. - Yes, no dessert.
(Thinking...)
- You want to eat, right? - I'm full.
Just eat a little bit then.
Eat three or four kimbap.
Do you want to sit, Ji-hoo?
- No, I want to stand and eat. - You want to stand and eat?
Don't roam around. Just stand and eat then. Okay?
Instead eat some side dishes, too.
(The husband skillfully feeds his son)
How many walnut cookies did you eat earlier?
Seven.
That's why you're not eating.
Who told you to eat so many snacks before dinner?
(All right)
(Making 1:1 exclusive marks while eating...)
- The mom isn't even eating right now. - I didn't eat when I was little, too.
(Now she's able to take a bite...)
Try the anchovy you like.
- Huh? - An anchovy.
Cut! Good job!
But why don't the two of you talk?
The center of attention of a family is the kids.
Yes, when we're eating, we take charge of one of them, so we can hardly talk.
We talk after the kids go to bed.
- So you two divide up the kids like this? - Yes.
- Did you make this porridge, Mr. Park? - Yes.
- What is it? - Do you make the baby food, too?
- Yes, well... - I usually do everything...
My wife usually makes it, but today, I did it.
Excuse me, but we'll join you for dinner.
What about Lee Kyung-kyu and Kang Ho-dong?
- They're going to a different house. - They are?
- We're going to get edited out then. - What are you talking about?
You're an eyesore!
- You're my anti-fan, right? - No, I'm not.
I watched all the shows you came out in.
(His heart melts~)
- Enjoy! - Thank you!
While the rookies are about to eat a hearty meal...
Kyu-dong have become moths searching for lights.
- Do I go first? Or you? - I'll go first.
We can go on the first and second floors...
Are you mentally shocked?
You'll suffer it soon, too.
(He pressed it!)
Mok-dong homes are quiet.
- Who is it?- Hello?
(The door opens)
Hello. I'm Lee Kyung-kyu. Are your parents home?
- No, they're not. - Are you alone then?
- Did you eat yet? - I'm eating right now.
- Do you have a lot of rice left? - I was eating ramen.
You're eating ramen?
- Thank you. - Bye.
What if a student invited us in without asking his parents first?
- He must discuss with his parents first. - They need to ask, right?
Right.
(They go onto the next house)
(Ding-dong)
(Open)
Oh my gosh. Hello!
- Hello. - Hi.
Are your parents home?
- No, they're not. - You were home alone?
- Yes. I was on my way out right now. - Oh, you were.
Okay, come on out.
Where are you going?
- I need to go to the academy. - Which academy?
- Art academy. - Art academy.
What's my name?
Jo Se-ho?
- I look like Jo Se-ho? - Do you know Lee Kyung-kyu?
Yes.
- You know Jo Se-ho, too? - Yes.
- I see. - Jo Se-ho!
Did you eat?
- Yes, I did. - Then what about your brother?
- He's right here. - What grade is he in?
He's in fourth grade.
- Fourth grade? - Yes.
What did you eat for dinner?
I had chopped noodles.
- You ate chopped noodles? - Come here.
(Come here. Jo Se-ho is here.)
- Hello. - Hi. Where are you going?
- Academy. - Academy.
What are you going to learn?
- Math. - Math. How admirable.
What did you eat? Chopped noodles?
I had spicy rice cakes and fish cake.
Your sister had chopped noodles, and you had spicy
rice cakes. Did you cook separately for her?
No, there's a regular restaurant we go to, and our mom pays for it in credit.
- So you ate outside? - Yes.
At a restaurant.
You're going to be late, huh?
- Yes. - Let's hurry up and go then.
We need to go eat, too.
Say hello to Mr. Jo Se-ho.
What's my name?
- Jo Se-ho. - I don't watch TV a lot.
You don't know my name?
Jo Se-ho!
- Mr. Jo Se-ho? - Yes!
You know who I am, right?
- Lee Kyung-kyu. - That's right!
He didn't call you Mr.
Bye, princess. How cute.
This is very nice, Jo Se-ho.
- It's very nice! - Oh my goodness.
I have never been called Jo Se-ho before.
- I need to work harder. - Mok-dong doesn't suit you.
I need to work harder, Kyung-kyu. How can they call me Jo Se-ho?
I can't be mistaken as Jo Se-ho.
(Bad luck after being stimulated (?) by Jo Se-ho...)
(Now it's Ho-dong's turn!)
(Press)
(Thump, thump)
- Who is it? - Hello. I'm champion Kang Ho-dong.
- Pardon? - I'm champion Kang Ho-dong.
Furniture?
Not furniture. I'm champion Kang Ho-dong.
Did you eat dinner already?
- No. - If you haven't eaten yet, can I go into your house and eat with you?
No.
I'm sorry.
I'll be going now.
(His communication isn't working (?) today...)
You said Kang Ho-dong, but they thought you said furniture.
"I'm Kang Ho-dong?" "Furniture?"
Kang Ho-dong is treated as furniture in Mok-dong.
(This time, Kyung-kyu goes for it)
(Watch closely, furniture!)
(Knock!)
(Ho-dong is as stiff as furniture)
- Hold on. We must have rang the doorbell when that kid came out earlier. - I know.
Oh, hi!
Just kidding.
You little!
Ho-dong isn't furniture.
- Jo Se-ho. - He's Jo Se-ho.
Jo Se-ho.
That was a total punch for me.
(KyuDong keeps failing to eat dinner...)
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
I anticipate this the most.
I gave my utmost to the meat broth.
What did you do for the meat broth?
Kelp,
anchovy, white radish, onion,
green onion, and dried shiitake mushrooms,
- Just for this? - You're supposed to that to make it taste good.
- It's delicious! - Is it okay?
When I first saw this, I thought it would be really salty, but it's not.
- I can't make it salty because of the kids. - Right?
We usually eat better than this. You just have no luck today.
- Really? - We eat meat a lot.
- You eat meat, too?- Yes.
We love pork belly and pork neck.
- You must love meat. - Yes.
When you eat meat at home, it smells a lot. What do you do?
When we cook, we put the lid over it, so it doesn't smell as much.
Did you make the rice, too, Mr. Park?
It's good, isn't it? It's delicious when you eat it with dry seaweed.
(Eating well while using a spoon as a fork)
Why are you so good at cooking? Do you have a lot of interest in it?
I was in the kitchen police.
- Kitchen police. - Kitchen police.
I was the kitchen police in the marines.
About nine to ten people can be board a small ship.
So they enjoy a lot of home-cooked meals.
It must be very useful for you in daily life.
Instead, I have to do the housework, too.
This is the best one.
(Their stomachs are full thanks to the skillful kitchen police!)
Eat a lot.
When I watched the show, I wondered who would give
you dinner if you went in there out of the blue.
- You're doing that right now. - Thank you.
(That's you guys/ You're right)
You said that, but you gave us so much food.
We talked about this two days ago while watching this show.
There was a female guest in the Itaewon episode.
- Oh, Kim Se-jeong? - Do you feel sorry about that?
Pardon? No. I'm just fascinated and curious.
Do you like girl groups?
Pardon?
Answer well.
- It's all right. - I don't know girl groups very well.
- Yeah, right. - Only Twice?
"Shy, shy, shy."
- Do you have a favorite member? - Tzuyu.
(Name and actions that instinctively reacted first)
I don't know many girl groups.
You would've been happier if Tzuyu came instead of us.
- I'd be happy, too. - I would've cooked all over again.
What would you cook for Tzuyu if she was here? Pretend she's sitting here.
Pork neck steak.
It's delicious.
I can tell you're trying to put on a front.
I need to calm down.
While the announcers are talking during dinner like
live sources, KyuDong has started to rush even more.
(He rang the doorbell as soon as he ran over!)
(We're in a hurry)
(Open)
- Hi! - Is it that dinner...?
Yes, this is a program where we eat dinner together.
My wife is home, and I don't have any food.
It's okay. Did you eat dinner yet?
We're a program where we eat dinner while talking together.
- I'm not ready. - Oh, really? All right then.
- Thank you. - I enjoy the show.
- Thank you! - Bye.
(Kyung-kyu rings the doorbell again)
- Hello? - Who is it?
I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
- Hello? - Yes!
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu.
Ma'am!
Oh, hello!
I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu. Hello. Did you eat yet?
My daughter is about to eat.
We can eat with your daughter. We don't need any side dishes.
We ordered pizza.
Pizza? Okay! Pizza! Good! We'll just have some pizza and cola then.
We're so hungry.
- Ask her husband. - Can you ask your husband?
- But our house is so mess. - It's fine. My house is even messier.
- Tell her to ask her husband. - Ask your husband, ma'am.
Okay.
- Ma'am, please look at Kang Ho-dong. - Hello.
- He's Kang Ho-dong. - My face became tiny, didn't it?
- The pizza is small though. - It's fine. It doesn't matter.
We can even eat cold rice in cold water. We'll just eat whatever you have.
(She went inside to discuss it with her family)
Please don't feel pressured.
(Don't feel pressured)
Pardon?
My daughter is very embarrassed. She just wants you two to eat.
That won't do. We need to eat together.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- I saw your show last week. - What's the name of our show?
- "Let Eat Dinner Together." - So you do know it.
I wondered why you weren't coming to apartments. I assumed you only went to houses.
- Did you really think that? - Yes! That's why I was
so surprised! I was hoping you would come here.
Today is a special apartment episode.
What do I do? I feel so bad.
(A sad but great meeting)
I'm so hungry.
It's about time we failed, didn't we?
However, if they fail today, they'll be very ashamed.
(If they fail today, their honor will be destroyed)
I'll ring it.
(Will they be able to eat dinner this time?)
(Ho-dong rang the doorbell)
(They'll be able to see me well from here, right?)
- Oh! - Oh my god!
You scared me! Hello! I'm champion Kang Ho-dong!
- Oh, hi! - Hello. We're...
Hello!
This program is "Let's Eat Dinner Together." It's not a complicated show.
Dinner is a very precious meal. We're going to eat with you and...
- Hello! - Peek-a-boo!
Yes! We can just eat cold rice in cold water along with some radish kimchi.
We eat whatever you have, and it doesn't matter if you don't have much.
- We talk about this and that. - Did you eat yet?
- This is a program. - Come inside.
(Really?!)
Wait a minute. Did you eat dinner yet?
No, we were about to eat.
They were just about to eat! Miracles can happen!
Jo Se-ho, go inside.
(KyuDong succeeded 15 minutes before the deadline!)
At the edge of failure, one couple saved them.
We only need a little bit of side dishes.
This is really...
What are you wearing. Your concept was great.
Oh, princess, you were lying down?
- There's another one! - Oh, princess!
Let me see your face, princess.
- Oh, how pretty! - How pretty! Look how your daughter looks so pretty on camera!
- Were you about to eat? - Yes.
- What were you going to eat ? - Sushi.
Sushi! They said sushi, Ho-dong!
You don't even need to wash the dishes.
- You prepared this to eat right now. - Yes.
It's the first time we're eating sushi on this show.
We're not going to give you sushi. I made bean paste soup earlier.
Who's going to eat the sushi then?
My father-in-law bought this precious meal just for us.
- So it's just for you two? - Just for two people.
- You're not going to share with us? - We only need eat it that much.
- They're not going to share with us. - It's only for us two.
- I'll give you bean paste soup. There's rice, too. - All right.
What program is this?
"Let's Eat Dinner Program."
(She didn't even know what kind of program this was)
(And yet she welcomed KyuDong willingly)
What time did you get off work?
- I ended early. - You ended early. Do you go to work?
- I'm a high school teacher. - Oh, a teacher.
No wonder. You seemed like a teacher.
Which high school?
Moonil High school.
What do you teach?
- I teach language. - Oh, you're a language teacher.
(Coincidentally, they came into the home of a high school teacher)
But does this part not come out?
Can I clean this up?
It's okay? Should I just clean the toys then?
- Our home is so messy. - It's fine!
All homes with kids are like this.
A home that raises children. These are the
daily scenes and the traces of child-rearing
How many years have you been a teacher for?
- About ten years now. - Wow. Ten years. But you look so young.
- I'm not young though. - At first, I thought Ho-dong
met his comedian friend because he was so shocked.
I know. His reaction was like a comedian's. "Oh my gosh!"
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu's colleague.
- Dongguk University. - Yes.
- What major? Korean literature? - Yes.
(They came out of the blue but ended up with an unexpected fate)
(Oh~ my colleague)
- If it hadn't been for my colleague... - What
are the difference in your undergrad years?
I went to college in 1979.
I went to college twenty years after you. 1999 for me.
1999. Wow. 1979 and 1999.
I'm the president of the Department of Theater
and Film at Dongguk University this year.
- Oh. - I'm serious. I became the president this year.
- You're the president? - Yes, I am.
You do all kinds of things.
- I'm President Lee. - Oh, I see.
- You're sweating because you're nervous. - Yes, I'm so nervous right now.
(Nervous because of the sudden filming)
There's not a lot of rice...
The wife who usually makes dinner while carrying her child on
her back has suddenly become busy because of the sudden guests.
This is kimchi stew and this is spinach soup.
But I'm not confident about the taste.
I feel so uncomfortable.
(Hot bean paste soup with spinach will melt the body in this cold weather)
- What kind of soup is this? - Spinach soup.
Spinach?
It was all last-minute. We were going to eat Japanese style today.
I made kimchi stew, but I didn't taste it.
(Side dishes, soup, and stew all came out)
Wow. The kimchi stew looks delicious.
(He helps her by taking the stew to the table)
(The dinner table is all set now)
(Proof photo of dinner!)
The is the dinner of a young couple in Mok-dong who was going to eat Japanese style
with bean paste soup with spinach and the sushi her father-in-law has bought for them.
The table has become full with kimchi stew and side dishes for KyuDong.
We have something called a Dinner Theater.
Pretend we're not here. Treat us like we're invisible.
Just act naturally. What about the kids?
The kids ate already.
Please treat us as if we're invisible.
(Eun-sol is watching cartoons/ That's my toy...)
Stand by.
(Ready)
Action.
Let's eat.
(Dinner Theater)
It's the time for the additional acceptances of students lately.
Sang-il in my class got into Chung-ang University.
(Embarrassed)
But this is so awkward.
This is so awkward. Can't you just not pay attention to them and be natural?
(I can't do it...)
(Husband acts like a robot)
Let's eat, honey.
Gosh...
(Eun-sol acts (?) naturally as always)
But we're in big trouble right now.
Yes, we are.
About ten minutes before you came, we experienced something huge.
(Are they talking to us...?)
- What do we do? - What do we really do?
- Let's hurry up and eat. - Let's eat.
- Let's eat and then look it up. - Yes, let's hurry up and look it up.
My father just came and left?
He just came to the elevator.
He didn't come inside?
I went down to the first floor.
- Is it good? - It's good...but I can't really taste it.
(Lost his taste after extreme awkwardness)
I don't know why though.
When you're nervous, you can't taste anything.
It's good.
I don't think she's nervous.
Try this.
It's warm. It will make you less nervous.
- Do you want more? - You ate it all?
- I'll give you more. - Eun-sol, do you want to try sushi?
No?
Try one.
Enjoy.
Okay, that's all. Dinner Theater isn't easy, is it?
Is the whole thing going on air?
I think it is.
Don't worry.
Now it's time to appease their hunger.
(Time to eat dinner together!)
Ms. Jeon, enjoy eating all the sushi.
- Enjoy! - We don't need to eat it.
- No, I was joking! - Please eat!
Eun-sol, I'll turn on a fun video for you, so come here.
They were able to eat warm meals during their first apartment challenge.
Kyung-kyu and Mr. Jo Se-ho have explosive appetites.
The quiet children sitting side by side assisted the happy dinner in Mok-dong.
(Still dazed)
You're flustered, right?
I still can't believe this.
We can't believe it either that we were shaking from the
cold outside but now we're here eating a warm meal.
(This dinner is like a miraculous fate to everyone)
- Eat the sushi, too. - Okay.
Following the first apartment challenge, they also had fancy sushi for the first time.
This is probably the 13th house we've been to.
- It's the first time we're eating sushi, right? - Yes.
- Do you have more rice? - Yes.
Just a little more.
- Stop eating. - There's only a little bit left.
Eat a lot.
Do you guys always eat dinner together?
Not always, but usually we try to eat together.
Since you're a teacher, you have a regular schedule.
- Compared to others, I do have a regular work schedule. - This is all we have.
(Thankful)
This is all we have.
(Jo Se-ho's charges into his 2nd dinner)
- Is the food to your liking? - Of course.
Did you make this?
Yes, but I didn't get to taste it.
It's good.
Go to the hospital if you're sick.
(All he did was choke on his food...)
- I was so hungry... - Stop working if you're so sick.
You're being a nuisance.
You're like Jo Se-ho.
(The Jo Se-ho who has a load of cases)
What happened before we came?
We decided to go to the Philippines on a night plane on January 1st.
We usually can't go because of the kids.
But half an hour ago, we got a message that our lodging got canceled.
Why?
I don't know. We have to look up different lodgings. We were
going to do it right after we ate. We're pretty busy, but you guys came...
You're going to leave the kids and just go by yourselves?
Do you leave your kids on a family trip?
(Pretending to be sick)
(Joking)
- Eun-sol. - Why are you calling her?
You're lucky you're going to the Philippines.
We might not be able to go now. Are you teasing us?
(He's not letting me off the hook, is he?)
(It seems like he's not nervous anymore)
So you're the kind of teacher who points out things while teaching, aren't you?
Rather than pointing things out, I teach them.
Do the students respect you?
I want to be an honest teacher rather than a respected one.
You're no good today.
Whatever you say today won't work.
That's right. His opponent is a language teacher.
I always tell my students...
"Police must catch the criminals...
firefighters must put out the fire...
and teachers must nag students when they do something wrong.
I'm always going to nag you, so don't feel offended. That's my job"
Wow. You must be awfully tired.
You must be tired. What will you do?
But I'm not her teacher.
Oh, I got it.
- Does he nag you a lot? - He tries to teach you, doesn't he?
- No, he doesn't. - Anyone can have an occupational disease.
I'm the one who does that.
- My wife is also... - A teacher?
Yes.
- I teach English to little kids. - Oh, you do?
- It's about four years since you got married, right? - Yes.
Did you guys date before you got married?
Our parents knew each other.
We were naturally introduced to each other and ended up getting married.
(Min-sol, eat some more~)
(I still have more left~)
Did he call you first?
I don't remember.
People usually remember the first calls.
She was pretty popular.
(Embarrassed)
- She's a beauty. - You're not joking.
(Embarrassed)
Where did you two meet?
In front of my house.
- We both lived in Mok-dong. - Mok-dong.
- They're a Mok-dong couple. - We met in this neighborhood.
So you introduced yourselves, held hands, and went to a restaurant?
You must be the style to hold hands on the first day.
Yes, I am.
(The language teacher, Ho-dong's natural enemy (?))
It's not working out for you today. You just need to learn how to quietly listen.
What was your first impression of your wife?
She's pretty.
She's a beauty. When I first saw her, I thought she was
Han Hye-jin. Her face structure is similar to her.
What did you think about your husband?
Someone with a twist? He was someone with a twist, so I thought he was funny.
What kind of twist?
- Well, language teachers have this stereotypical image. - Yes.
- But he broke that image for me. - Oh, really?
He was very funny. He used to have this stuffy image.
(You like it~)
He used to be so funny. Recently I asked him when he's going to be funny again.
(A charm (?) that twists after twists are repeated)
Until when was he funny?
We got married so soon...
How long was he funny for?
- How many months did he make you burst into laughter? - About two months?
He became boring after two months?
For two months, he was very funny.
And then he hasn't been funny since then? Even though four years have passed?
It's like when rookies shine for a short amount of time.
- Shining star. - He shines once and stops.
When I used to do things like, "Greedy one. Ba bam Ba," my wife used to
roll on the ground laughing. But one year later, she started to mock me.
She wouldn't even look at me.
"Is he doing that again?" Things like that happen.
I thought I had been funny for about two years.
You guys probably liked each other when you met, but there
must have been a different reason you decided to get married.
I didn't want to lose her.
- You're good at talking. - Why not?
You can tell just by looking at her.
That's the best thing you can say.
Why did you decide to marry him?
He was my ideal type in every aspect.
(Oh, my)
- What about him is your ideal type? - Everything about him.
- Really? - They're a match made in heaven.
What Zodiac signs are you?
- I'm a monkey. - I'm a pig.
I'm a dog, so we're dog-pig.
That's a strange humor.
What's wrong with you today, Jo Se-ho?
Jo Se-ho, try to be funny.
(They are three years apart)
They say a three-year difference is perfect.
- Four years. - Oh, it's four years.
Today isn't my day either.
It's not easy for KyuDong to face the Mok-dong teacher couple.
On the other hand, how are the announcers doing?
While looking at your wife, I realized she's an ace.
I know a lot about company couples.
- Don't ask me for the details. - You're a professional.
I know a lot about it. I've counseled a lot for them, too.
I feel like everyone will like her.
(What is this company couple's love story...?)
When did you open up your relationship to others?
- Well... - After how long?
- After about two months? - Our co-workers could
tell though. They just pretended not to notice.
For company couples, everyone but you two know that they know.
- The two of you are the sensitive ones. - You're a professional!
I heard a lot of these stories before.
Didn't he make it obvious?
At first, I thought he was sweet to everyone.
Was he nice to other women, too?
I'm normally a friendly person, but I was especially nice to her.
Is that true, or did you have a few women in mind already?
- Let's be honest. - Be honest.
For example...
after we went out to drink, I would buy the others milk
and a drink that is good for the liver for my wife.
(He specially protects his wife's liver)
(Memories keep popping up)
Good one.
- So you give the healthy supplements to her. - Have you ever tried it?
Oh, of course! I'm pretty old! I've tried it all!
The most annoying thing about company couples
is when you drink alcohol at a company dinner.
They keep telling her to drink. "Drink. Why aren't you drinking?"
The boyfriend gets very annoyed by that.
"Why do they keep making her drink?" And you need to take her home afterward.
- You're talking about someone else, right? Not you? - Of course!
I lived in Mok-dong for a while, too, but what are the advantages of living here?
I like it because there are many trees in this neighborhood.
In the fall, when the leaves turn colors, they're very
pretty to look at while you're driving by in a car.
It's not called Mok-dong for nothing.
- And you don't feel scared when you roam around at night. - It's safe.
It's safe. The atmosphere is great.
I laid down the basis for this.
I was here when the new apartments were just being built.
(At first, it was just an empty plain...)
(Mok-dong has become famous for its good education and natural environment!)
(Time for "I compliment you! I'm disappointed)
- It's part of the program, right? - Yes.
Ho-dong made up useless things.
Let's try it.
How does this work?
- It's called... - I compliment you!
I'm very, very disappointed!"
Is it "I compliment you a lot?"
Whatever. We'll just do what we want.
- Do the beginning. - I compliment you a lot!
- I'm very, very disappointed! - I'm very, very disappointed!
(Mocking laughter...)
- You can't see this next week. - Right.
For the first part, you two will make three compliments about each other.
Ready, go.
My wife knows what I want, so she's very considerate.
Good. That's the first one. Second?
Second of all, my wife is very good at decorating things. She has a good sense.
Is there something you can use in the house to prove that?
(Prove it to us!)
(This?)
- What's this? - A cell-phone accessory.
- Right. - "Let's smile today, too. Go!"
- She's learning calligraphy lately. - Oh, calligraphy.
Last compliment!
She has an amazing frugal mind.
- If you change the words a bit, it won't be a compliment anymore. - I know.
Now it's your turn.
- It might make you cringe. - We'll clamp our fists like this.
Before we went to bed one day, I told him,
"I think I married the right person, honey." I said that, right?
- Was he drunk? - No, he was sober.
- You said it? - Yes.
- Why? - He helps me with the housework, and he's an amazing dad.
And he's very... it makes you cringe, huh?
- He's very considerate of me. - Let me get some fresh air.
(Kimchi as emergency prescription!)
- And? - I'm on maternity leave, so my husband wants me to
go out and meet my friends instead of just staying home.
Oh, you're on maternity leave.
Yes.
Oh, you just want to keep her out of the house.
For your own freedom.
When you're raising children, you get a lot of
stress, so you need a way to relieve that stress.
I wish I could relieve all of her stress, but I
can't, so it would be nice if she could go out.
Last one.
He's good at cooking.
- Yes, he has proved that very well. - All the dishes are empty.
Can I say this on TV? I'm not envious of So Yoo-jin.
Oh, so he's like Baek Jong- won.
On TV, So Yoo-jin said that her husband would make her whatever she wants to eat.
I'm living that life right now.
So I even tell my friends I'm not envious of So Yoo-jin in that area.
Now it's time for, "I'm very, very disappointed!"
This is very important. Anyone can say kind words, but...
- His expression says there's something he wants
to say. - I don't know what level I can go up to.
(I...I see...)
One thing I'm disappointed in is...
I don't want to say it.
Of course there are things I'm disappointed about, but if I tell her, she'll be hurt.
Old habits die hard, so it'll be easier if I just understand her.
I feel embarrassed about asking the question.
- We're not done yet. - We're not?
- Things she's disappointed in. - That's right. We didn't do that.
- "I'm very, very disappointed." - Disappointed.
- Save this corner - I don’t know...
People must be disappointed in something.
- Of course, but... - How about when he comes home after drinking?
But even when he's drinking, if I call him and tell him to come home early, he will.
Another disappointing factor?
Really?
Yes. I told you I got married to the right person.
- You need to hear such things when you're married. You got it? - Excuse me?
Do you want me to get married again?
- You're not? - I'm not.
- You're not? - I'm scared.
I think you two showed a good example to people who want to get married in the future.
- If you want to achieve such harmony... - You need to lead the way.
(They need to be considerate of each other!)
There's responsibility.
The family structure has changed a lot lately, so if the husbands
stubbornly demand for patriarchy, it'll only get harder for them.
You're right.
I should've met him five years ago.
(Late regret...)
The precious enlightenment he got along with dinner.
- We have corner. - A small corner.
It's called...
I compliment you!
I'm very, very disappointed!
(Burdened)
I compliment you! I'm very, very disappointed!
(Distressed)
I feel dizzy.
You can compliment her first.
I'm very grateful that she easily delivered our two princesses.
- Second. - When we fight, I'm the one who's quiet, and she's the first one to...
- She's cool. - Yes. She tries to make up with me first.
That's why earlier, I was the dazed one, and
she was the one who told you two to come in.
"Come in."
(They were able to come inside, thanks to her)
Time for you to compliment your husband!
He has so many strengths.
He always makes a lot of effort.
I can see he makes a lot of effort even for the smallest complaints.
- That's good, isn't it? - He's a thoughtful father. He really plays well with them.
- He helps a lot with child-rearing. - Yes, it seems so.
Now let's start.
What are you disappointed about?
(Thinking...)
After my wife had our kids, she quit work to focus on raising them.
- She gets very frustrated and tired. - Right.
Someone told me that I should promise to let her go out one day out of the weekend.
He said that even though I do that, she won't be able
to stay out for a long time because of the kids.
So if I allow my wife to go out once during the weekend...
then after that, she stays out the whole time...
She doesn't come back home?
First of all...she doesn't answer her phone...
This is so fun!
Besides not being able to get in touch with me, it's all true. I do answer my phone.
Who do you hang out with?
My single friends.
I'm usually home during the night. I go out when it's daytime.
Yes. So your first complaint is about her going out during the daytime?
I'm not disappointed in her. I was just trying to find something to say.
What about you, Ms. Kim?
I'm disappointed in...
(Anticipating)
There's nothing, but if I must say something...
once he starts drinking, there's no end to it.
It doesn't end until he crawls home.
He crawls home? My goodness!
That's the mind of a fellow countryman!
What about the second one?
The second is alcohol. The third is alcohol, too.
If it wasn't for the alcohol, he'd be perfect.
I just hope he won't crawl home anymore.
Just walk home on your two feet.
We hope Mr. Jeon will walk upright in the year of the rooster.
It's 2017 now. What is your hope this year?
My textbook answer is that I hope all of us will be healthy.
That's the most important.
I thought that, too.
Being healthy is the most important.
What about a non-textbook answer?
My non-textbook answer is that I hope the rent won't go up.
(Everyone agrees)
- This is on rent, right? - Yes.
We hope those wishes will come true.
(We hope all your wishes will come true...)
- Thank you for dinner. - Thank you.
I'm amazing at washing the dishes.
(He's amazing (?) at spilling the water and bubbles...)
(Water is dripping)
(He quietly takes the rag...)
Really?
- I'm sorry. The water spilled, didn't it? - Are
they filming you spilling water everywhere?
- I was trying to give you twice the hard time. - What an eyesore!
I was trying to give you a hard time.
I wonder what Ho-dong is up to.
Were they able to go inside a home?
I think they're at a convenience store right now.
They could be.
(Suk-joon calls him)
- It's Suk-joon. - Hi, Ho-dong. How's the convenience store?
- It's so cold. - The convenience store is cold, huh?
We couldn't go into the convenience store yet.
- You couldn't go in yet? - No.
Kyung-kyu is throwing a fit that he wants to go home.
(I knew that would happen)
It's a miracle he hasn't left yet.
- Can't we do a video call? - Do you want me to call you for a video chat?
(Ta-da)
His face is freaking huge!
- Suk-joon! - You went into a home!
Of course we did! Look at this. What's this?
Is it squid?
Sushi.
- Is it sushi? - They're eating sushi?
Ho-dong.
(Watch closely~)
Really? No way!
Is that Izakaya?
- Hi! - Say hello.
How old are you?
No way.
- Five? - He said "no way."
They ordered the sushi.
Let me talk to the owner of the house.
- This is the owner. - Hi.
Please talk with your neighbor.
- Hello. - Hello.
(It's nice to meet you)
- Do you know them? - No.
- We live on 5*4! - Hello!
This is 5*2.
Did you really make the sushi?
No, we didn't make it. It just...yes...
You can't give them take-out.
We made them a lot of food as well.
Ji-hoo, how old are you? Show them with your fingers.
- He's four! - He's the same age as my eldest daughter.
Eun-sol, you have a friend here.
- Hi. - Say hi.
- It would be nice if you guys became friends. - Right.
(Birth of "Let's Eat Dinner Together" neighbors in Mok-dong)
You must have had a lot of students until now.
- Yes. This year, I was the homeroom teacher for high school seniors. - Oh, really?
Then you should greet them through the show.
Many of your students will be watching this.
"Why is our teacher on TV? He crawls home?"
"Our teacher does that?"
Your students might think that way.
(The teacher who taught his students that
heavy-drinking is harmful by sacrificing himself)
(To my students...)
Hey, guys.
You worked hard for the past year.
A few days before the grapes are harvested,
I heard farmers don't give them water.
That way, they'll grow sweeter.
They say grapes can't grow sweet under good conditions.
Senior year must have been difficult for you guys,
but I'm sure all of you grew that much sweeter.
You guys must have gotten better, so I hope you feel like your efforts have paid off.
And I know you guys were looking forward to
drinking on January 1st, but don't drink too much.
(A heartfelt message for his hard-working students)
Those are the bitter and sweet tastes of life, right?
What you said was very meaningful because you
said that before the grapes are harvested,
- they aren't given water, which means it makes them that much sweeter... - Hold on.
We understood everything already.
But Kyung-kyu, the colder and harder we work, the more delicious the dinner is to us.
(Patient with the heart of a teacher)
- Just like the environment... - I'll do the dishes.
(I can't listen anymore...)
You two sit and talk.
Please give him some wisdom. I'd rather do the dishes than listen to you talk.
Kyung-kyu chose to do labor rather than to listen to Ho-dong talk.
(Language teacher's wise lecture (?)/ Listening courteously)
(Rattle)
Please do the dishes quietly!
He's in the middle of talking!
(I'll hold it in for the sake of going home...)
- The priest was burning the wooden statue of Buddha, and
he asked what he was doing. - The Buddhist monk asked that?
Yes, and the priest replied that he was doing an experiment to check if
small crystals would come out of the Buddhist's body when he burned it.
So the monk said, "Why would small crystals come out of a piece of wood?"
So the priest asked, "Were you bowing to just a piece of wood all this time?"
(Goosebumps)
You two are very compatible with each other.
- This is very touching. - No.
I feel like someone hit me on the back of the head.
Let's take a picture.
- This way. - If we take a photo, it's the end. So I don't want this to take a photo.
(Commemorative photo with the families who gave them dinner!)
This was their first apartment challenge. They met new
families in Mok-dong who are different yet similar to each other.
These are the 13th and 14th houses of the show.
Please visit us again.
Thank you for the good memories.
When you visit us again, we'll serve you extremely delicious food.
Instead, make sure to bring a girl group next time.
- Yes. - Make sure you do!
- Hello! - Hello!
We came back safe and sound from our trip that we had been worried
about, and we got this awesome present, so we feel twice as happy now.
Thank you for the good memory. Come and visit us again!
- Bye! - Bye!
- Thank you! - Say bye.
Go and say bye-bye.
(Enemies...)
Seo Jang-hoon? Why is he on TV anyways?
(meet at the worst place and worst time)
I heard he talked crap about me while he was drunk.
I came to see Kyung-kyu today. I heard he talked so much crap about me.
(Variety show giant Seo Jang-hoon)
(I got you!!!)
(Freaked out)
Can we reveal the full video?
Are you crazy?
What's wrong with you? Do you want to send me away?
Godfather of entertainment versus variety show giant! Big match! Start!
(Eating alone. Drinking alone. I live alone.)
Bongcheong-dong has the most single households in Seoul.
I live alone right now.
(Kyung-ri of Nine Muses)
Ho-dong, are you from Busan, too?
I didn't know you were from Busan.
He eats a bowl of dumpling soup every ten minutes.
A fool should not have principles. He has principles.
When it's night, we're advantageous because Jang-hoon can look over the walls!
- Starting from today, we're... - Best friends.
I'm almost like Lee Yoon-suk.
(Original little brother Kang Ho-dong is in danger)
(Time for the final race)
(Dark)
I miss people now.
- Hello. - Hi.
- I'm Kyung-ri. - Yoon-ji?
- Kyung-ri. Do you know me? - No.
- Kyung-ri is ticked off. - You can't get ticked off.
Why would you get ticked off?
(The night they were wandering around Syarosugil)
How could there not be any people?
- That's cheating. - How is that cheating?
("Let's Eat Dinner Together")
(He has the garbage bag in one hand)
Goodness.
(They're neat and tidy until the end!)
- You must be happy. - Why?
- You met your college colleague. - I know.
In the forest of apartments that appeared cold, they were able
to meet people along with warm dinners, stories, and lessons.
(We sincerely thank everyone who cooperated with us)
The first apartment challenge is a success.
