(From July 5, 2007...)
(to December 1, 2011,)
(this place has been the home of Happy Together.)
(It's a bathhouse in Singil-dong.)
(It's always better when we're together.)
(In this bathhouse,)
(Jae Seok said this line more than 200 times.)
(No matter how popular the guests were,)
(every one of them wore the spa clothes.)
Let's meet with our special guests.
(The number of the guests...)
(who visited the bathhouse is about 800.)
Tae Yeon! Hello!
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
(Jae Seok was always there to greet the guests.)
(Sometimes, top idol stars...)
(gave a dazzling dance performance.)
- TVXQ! - TVXQ!
You haven't come on Happy Together for a while.
- Yes, it's been about three months. - I see.
(The stars visited here again even before they knew.)
Do you think you'll become successful like this?
(The old memories of stars as a newcomer...)
(still remain in this place.)
I watched every single episode of Happy Together.
- You did? - Yes.
- I think he's the funniest comedian. - I see.
When do you think Myung Soo is the funniest?
He's the funniest when he makes a joke,
and no one laughs because it's not funny.
- Really? - My goodness.
(Someone hasn't changed in 10 years.)
(When we imitated stars,)
(we were proud and confident.)
- He turned around. - Oh, no.
(This small place is...)
(the home of the legendary memes.)
(She threw the ball hard.)
Go ahead.
(Someone imitated a star in a funny way.)
(That was too much.)
(The person almost got killed.)
- Yeong Ja. - Yeong Ja.
(Suddenly, we missed the boisterous atmosphere.)
(Today, we'll open the bathhouse again.)
(The 15th anniversary of Happy Together)
(Who could be today's special guests?)
(Welcome. Adult: 6 dollars, Child: 3 dollars 50 cents)
"When someone feels better, another one gets upset."
(At that moment)
(Look forward to it, Yu Jae Seok.)
(I'm here.)
(Early in the morning,)
(two men are eating gimbap sitting on the street.)
(They're the laughter hunters.)
(Why are they eating on the street?)
Why are you eating so much?
(They finally head to the bathhouse.)
(They look like ordinary people.)
We're in trouble.
(Please go first.)
(Let's go in together.)
- Hello. - I think you two are celebrities.
- Hello. - Aren't you celebrities?
You came all the way here to take a bath.
It's none of your business.
You're speaking casually to a stranger.
(He laughs.)
- Myung Soo, it's been a while. - Myung Soo?
Why did you call him Myung Soo? He's...
- Hello. - Hello.
Your friend seems like he really needs a bath.
He's not allowed in here.
- I'm a village idiot. - I'm clean.
- Pardon? - He's a bald man.
I see. Are you here for a bath?
- Yes, we are. - I see.
- It's six dollars per person. - It's cheap.
- It's 6 dollars. - It's 12 dollars for 2 people.
- Per person. - Two ordinary men, please.
- It's 12 dollars. - 12 dollars?
It's 12 dollars for two ordinary men.
- I left my wallet in the car. - Me too.
- You should bring your wallet and pay. - Sorry?
- Are you kidding? - Put it on my tab.
What are you talking about? You should pay now.
- Bring your money. - How can an actor do that?
- How old are you? - Sorry?
- How old are you? - Why are you asking that?
How old are you?
Why would you ask how old we are?
- Why would you ask that? - You should know better.
(It's the best solution when things don't go your way.)
- What should we do? - Pay 12 dollars.
- Pay now. - You're ridiculous.
Why would you say that?
Hold on a second.
- Can you lend us some money? - I thought...
Are they hoodlums or what?
(Happy Together)
- Just pay 10 dollars. - They're so pitiful.
- Please go in. - Okay. Thanks.
- Myung Soo. - Yes?
- I love you. - Please go in.
- Don't get your hair stuck in the drain. - Right.
I haven't been here for a long time.
Please go in first.
(They finally enter the sauna.)
(Men's sauna)
(He's the king of charisma.)
- Do you think what I do is weird? - That's scary.
(Son Hyun Joo looks as if he popped out of a movie.)
(He has shocking mood swings.)
(He's a scene stealer who looks older than he is.)
(Kim Sang Ho is nervous when he's on a variety show.)
(Today, he'll find the right wig for him at last.)
(The laughter hunter duo is ready to make you laugh.)
- Hello. - Hello.
Let's drink banana milk before we go in.
- We're late. - Did you have a meal?
- We're here for a bath. - That's Hee Chul.
Hurry up!
Good. It's open.
I was worried it might be closed.
- Look at this. - Don't let any more customers in.
- I haven't been here for a long time. - Okay.
- Hello. - Hello.
Look at this.
- You really need a bath. - Why do you shake my hand?
- You startled me. - You need a bath.
- Are you doing well in there? - Yes, we are.
I'll send a lot of food to you.
- This isn't the place you think. - Isn't it?
- This is a bathhouse. - I see.
- 2 men and 1 woman, please. - Yes?
- Okay. - Right. Hello.
- 2 men and 1 woman, please. - Hi, guys.
It's 18 dollars.
- It's 18 dollars. - 18 dollars?
(Do they have money?)
- You'll go to the sauna too, right? - Yes.
- I'll pay with this. - What is it?
- I'll pay with my phone. - No, you can't do that.
- Why? - We don't accept it.
- I'll pay. - You didn't bring money?
- This doesn't work? - What are you doing?
- Here you go. - Take it back.
- Just bring... - Let us in.
- Let's go to Ho Dong. I don't like this. - John.
- I'm not doing this. - Why?
- He's so unfriendly. - Who is?
He's so unfriendly.
- None of them is unfriendly. - I'll go to Ho Dong.
- Hold on. - I don't like Jae Seok.
Was Jae Seok unfriendly to you?
- Yes, he's so mean. - He's not mean.
- He's so funny. - This should be authentic.
- Give me two dollars. - Hold on.
Go to the store next to this building.
- Don't do that. - Stop it.
Buy a can of Coke and break this bill.
- My goodness. - We don't have change.
- Go to the store and... - I'll get a body scrub.
- Pardon? - I'll get a body scrub.
- Body scrub? - Get ready for it.
Get ready for it.
- Go get ready for it. - All right.
- Go buy a can of Coke. - Gosh.
- I can't believe this. - Let's go.
This is just ridiculous.
- I don't want to do this! - We couldn't go in.
- I'm not doing this. - Why?
- What happened? - They want me to break the bill.
- They don't have change. - Gosh.
- I have a 50-dollar bill. - Go buy a can of Coke.
- Hurry. - The store is associated with us.
- Okay? - We should earn money.
- Right. It helps the store too. - Of course.
- This is the third time for coming here. - Gosh.
We're back.
We'll visit you often.
Try to be a better person.
- It's tofu. Thanks. - Stay away from trouble.
- Here you go. - You should've done this before.
Please go in.
- Where's the women's bath? - This way.
- This way, please. - Should I go this way?
- Yes. Thank you. - Okay.
Hurry up.
- We have a lot of customers. Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - We got married last month.
- What did you say? - We moved to this neighborhood.
- Are you a newlywed couple? - You're newlyweds?
- Yes, we are. - I feel sorry for her.
Me too.
- Here you go. - He gave us 40 dollars.
Why did you give us 20 cents?
- Why did you do that? - Will you shave your face?
That doesn't work for me.
- This would work. - I need a six-blade razor.
I see. Then, you can use three of these.
My facial hair is so thick.
You can hold them like this. It'll work.
- Please go in. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Have a good time.
- Honey, I'll see you in a bit. - She's so nice.
- Should I go that way? - This is for men.
- Go together. - You can go together.
- Oh, it's German style. - I see.
- German style? - What is he talking about?
- That's funny. - Thank you.
- We earned a lot in a short time. - We're going in.
- It's so cold. Dad! - Dad!
- Dad! - Dad!
- What did you say? - Dad.
- We're back. - We're back from school.
What are you talking about?
- We thought... - We came up with an idea.
- That's a wrong one. Do it again. - Again?
We failed. We have to do it again.
- Gosh. - Is your business going well?
- Are you working hard? - Who are you this time?
I'm the building owner, and she's my wife.
- The building owner? - Yes, it's free, right?
Come back again with another idea.
What story did you come up with?
What story will this be?
- We're trying to make up a story, - I see.
but it's not easy.
This is my story. We're not open today.
Hold on. Let us in.
(He's the king of ad-lib jokes.)
(Lee Su Geun's slapstick comedy acts make you laugh.)
(He keeps his senior entertainers under control.)
(Kim Hee Chul is the funniest in the universe.)
(John Park makes women smile.)
(Na Ra of Hellovenus steals men's hearts.)
You feel less nervous now, right? How do you feel?
I've done nothing yet.
(It's not over until it's over.)
- Oh, no. - My goodness.
("Happy Together 15th Anniversary Special Trilogy")
It's always better when we're together, Happy Together!
(Happy Together)
- It's good to see you, everyone. - Hello.
- Today... Calm down. - It's so cramped!
- We have to say hello first. - Stop pushing me.
- It's so cramped. - Everyone.
- We came to this sauna... - Gosh.
- after a long time. - It's too cramped.
We have never had these many guests...
at the same time, so we couldn't even clap.
You know what I mean, right? Anyway,
to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Happy Together,
we reenacted Happy Together Friends last week.
- Right. - We found Sae Ho and Hyun Moo's friends.
- Sae Ho cried a lot. - Exactly.
- His friends and teacher... - Right.
made many people including me shed tears.
I'm planning to visit my teacher...
with Sang Yeop next week.
- You'll visit your teacher? - Yes.
- The last friend I found. - Yes?
I still don't remember him.
- I still don't remember him. - That's too harsh.
This is the 2nd part of "The 15th Anniversary Special".
Today...
I didn't know that this bathhouse would still be here.
Nothing has changed in here.
- It looks the same as it did before. - Exactly.
- It looks the same. - It's unbelievable.
Today, we'll reenact "The Sauna" here.
We're here with very special guests today.
Son Hyun Joo, Kim Sang Ho, Lee Su Geun,
Kim Hee Chul, John Park, and Na Ra!
(John Park, Kim Hee Chul, Lee Su Geun)
Welcome.
(He's shy with strangers.)
- Welcome. - Hello. It's nice to meet you.
- Welcome. - John Park!
- Hello. - John Park.
As I told you before,
we have never had these many guests.
It'll take 30 minutes for them just to say hello.
Also, as you can see, the chairs are...
so small.
(Myung Soo screams.)
- Don't stand up. - We used bigger chairs then.
- This is... - It's a fishing chair.
Even anglers don't use this chair these days.
- Gosh, it's cramped. - It's so cramped!
(Hyun Joo is sitting next to Myung Soo.)
- It's cramped. - I was so surprised.
Hyun Joo is very charismatic in his movies,
but he's been crouching pitifully like this.
Our today's guests are all very funny.
We see most of them often,
but it's surprising that Hyun Joo and Sang Ho are here.
- Why are you two here? - You two aren't funny.
- We're... - Isn't Sang Ho's face funny, though?
(He doesn't need to do anything to be funny.)
That's right. My face looks funny.
- Look. - I feel so frustrated.
- Why? - Why?
Sang Ho and I came on Happy Together,
- which is a very popular show. - Right.
- I hoped we would sit on the side. - I see.
- We're sitting in the middle. - We can switch seats.
- Thank you. - Sit down.
- I'm used to that. - He's just saying.
- He didn't mean that. - Don't steal his seat.
- I thought he meant it. - In the interview,
you asked for a seat on the side.
It's because we don't know much about variety shows.
- This is Sang Ho's 1st time... - It's my 2nd time.
- Right? - It's my second time on a variety show.
I wish we could sit where Sae Ho is sitting.
- We have one camera for each guest. - I see.
- You would be filmed anyway. - Right.
- The place is full of cameras. - Exactly.
- It's scary. - I know.
Stop worrying about your seat.
No matter where you are, you just have to be funny.
Hyun Joo have been on variety shows several times,
but Sang Ho, from what I remember,
is anxious to be on a variety show.
Yes, I feel anxious even now.
(He clears his throat.)
- What's wrong? - What?
- It's nothing. - Did you drink yesterday?
Yes.
- I guessed it right. - But that's not the reason.
He has to be on an R-rated show.
- Why? - He's very unpredictable.
He swears a lot.
(He's busted.)
- We were on a radio show together once. - Okay.
- He came as a guest. - Okay.
- Thank goodness it was a recorded show. - Why?
He kept swearing in the middle of the show.
- He did. - Do you do it without realizing it?
I don't swear in many ways.
You know the swear word that sounds like a number.
That's the only swear word I say.
Do you say it unintentionally?
I say it to be funny.
You swear to be funny.
People laugh.
- Of course. - How do you swear?
You punctured my tire, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
- What? - You're the only one who swears.
- You drank yesterday, didn't you? - I did.
(His acting is like his real life.)
I swore as much I wanted.
(He's happy.)
I heard you're actually quite young.
- Are you referring to him? - I am young.
- I am sorry, but when... - I was born in 1970.
- Who's older? - Is he the same age as Myung Soo?
You're the same age as Myung Soo and Kang Ho Dong.
We're the same age.
- Are you the same age? - Yes.
Myung Soo looked really rude.
- Were you born in the Year of the Dog? - Yes.
He looked very rude.
I heard Choi Baek Ho...
misunderstood you.
(He misunderstood Sang Ho's age.)
- "About Romance". - One time,
we were in a drama together.
In the beginning, we greeted each other.
And he kept calling me,
"Mr. Kim".
That's how the elders call each other.
- They do that. - They call each other mister.
I asked him how old I looked.
And he said, "Aren't you over 50?"
(He was 42 at the time.)
- How old were you? - I was 42.
If you try a little harder,
you'd be able to ride buses for free.
(He'd look like a senior citizen.)
Don't be too mean.
(He's enraged.)
You were going to swear, weren't you?
"How dare you!"
You can swear at him once.
(He swears at Su Geun.)
It's mute, but we can read his lips.
Everyone can read his lips.
- People understood it. - You look like you're drunk.
(His red face makes him look drunk.)
Su Geun is...
an original member of Happy Together.
- Really? - He was the class leader.
- Happy Together Friends... - Right.
was the first variety show I joined.
He was the first-class leader...
of Happy Together Friends.
Bong Sun...
- replaced him later. - She replaced me.
After a few weeks, he quit.
- It wasn't just a few weeks. It was long. - Right.
He joined "One Night Two Days".
- Really? - No.
It was "One Night Two Days".
The director came to me and told me to step down.
- Is that right? - He got laid off.
I got sacked, but Jae Seok didn't help me.
At the time, he got a call from...
- "One Night Two Days". - That's right.
And it was a good opportunity for him.
That's why I wanted him to go.
At the time, I thought Happy Together was better.
- But... - Even if "One Night Two Days" was good,
you could've stopped him from leaving, but you didn't.
Happy Together was in its prime at the time.
At the time, Su Geun just said "Attention"...
- and "Salute". - There were too many people.
The friends got more air time than I did.
- Right. - I just said "Attention. Salute."
- I was just a class leader. - Hyeon Gyeong...
was the class leader last week.
When she watched the show, she realized that...
- he only said "Attention. Salute". - That was it.
She didn't know what else to do.
Right. That's why "One Night Two Days" was better.
It was obvious.
Tell us honestly.
Are you in Jae Seok's or Ho Dong's group?
I'm clearly in Ho Dong's.
- Isn't that obvious? - It's obvious.
- I'm in Jae Seok's. - Right.
- We all know. - Shouldn't you have your own group?
Why are you still in another person's group?
You should make your own group.
I will always be in Jae Seok's group.
- Yes. - These days, Su Geun...
- and Hee Chul have become... - Yes.
- a great duo. - They are amazing.
- Hee Chul is amazing. - I know.
- I call him Boss Kim. - Why?
We make a great team in a show.
Su Geun is to me who Jae Seok is...
- to Myung Soo. - Right.
So whenever I get cast to a show,
I tell them I want to be on it with Su Geun.
I make them cast Su Geun too.
So you help him get work.
- Yes. - He recommends me a lot.
- His words are powerful. - That's good.
I heard you're learning the art of living from Su Geun.
What do you mean by that?
You see, I have emotional ups and downs.
- You do. - Su Geun is amazing.
We do a lot of shows together, you know.
I'll use Happy Together as an example.
In the waiting room we share, he'd say this to me.
When I complain that there are too many useless...
questions being asked to us on Happy Together,
he agrees with me and says that...
those are all unnecessary and...
that the director is too ambitious.
He says it's unfair for us and that...
he will talk to the director during the meeting.
When we meet up for a script reading,
I bring the issue up.
I point out the questions that are unfair to us and...
ask them to remove them. When I say, "Right, Su Geun?"
He says, "We can just come up with a general answer."
(He betrays Hee Chul.)
- That's bad. - That's bad.
- I've experienced that too. - Right?
- You know what he does. - Yes.
- You have to do that. - Do you...
Do you realize that you're very...
- inconsistent with what you say. - Too inconsistent.
I am strictly inconsistent.
He admits it.
- He's unbelievable. - He is.
- He had gone through something bad. - Right.
- I have to do well. - So...
Are you trying to make him cry again?
Just stay in your place.
- Don't lean forward. - He screwed up once.
- So he knows how precious it is. - I'll elbow you.
I just might.
Are you trying to hit a celebrity? Are you rich?
I'll elbow you.
(He might have to get a dental implant.)
I was going to get it anyway, so it's good.
Su Geun was once very thankful to Hyun Moo.
It's embarrassing to say this.
I once struggled a lot financially.
I was shocked to find out that Hyun Moo paid my debts.
I found out about it through my agency.
It was a big amount, and he settled it without...
saying a word to me. I've been wanting to say this.
This way, I get to delay the payment.
(What?)
- I have to say it on TV. - He hasn't paid much yet.
I was really thankful at the time.
I was thankful that he settled it for me.
Hyun Moo is a loyal friend.
It's so funny.
Whenever he sees me now, he lowers his eyes.
When I talk to Hyun Moo, I lower my eyes.
(He treats Hyun Moo like his boss.)
How did you treat him before?
Goodness.
He used to hit me in the past.
Now he admires me like he admires Ho Dong.
He lowers himself.
That's why he treats Ho Dong rudely these days.
(He can't respect everyone at the same time.)
- Actually, today... - John is here too.
I can barely see him.
- I can't see you well. - Hey.
- I thought I was seeing his ghost. - Yes.
- I couldn't see him well. - Why are you here?
Go in there.
Sae Ho, you're at the end,
but it doesn't feel like you're at the end.
- It's like he's right in front of us. - Right.
(He disregards perspective.)
- He seems very close. - It's the same with John.
- It's the same with John. - Is it?
- Honestly... - Right.
they don't seem far away.
He used to live in the US.
(Why did he say that?)
- We all know that. - We all know it.
His name is John Park. It's not very Korean.
- He's from the US. - It's obvious.
He was on Super Star K.
- Right. - That's years ago.
Are you from the West Coast or the East Coast?
I'm from the middle.
He had to be from the middle.
(He can't pretend to know now.)
Your hand is cold.
His hand is cold.
You seem very surprised.
- He was really surprised. - He was.
He kept searching in the parking lot.
"John Park was on Super Star K."
"Is he from the West Coast or the East Coast?"
John is learning a lot from...
Su Geun and Hee Chul because they have...
different styles.
I'm a regular member on one variety show,
and they are on it with me.
I was on "Cool Kidz On the Block"...
- Su Geun. - Right.
So I feel comfortable with him. I can rely on him.
Hee Chul is sharper.
He's very sharp when he speaks.
- Hee Chul is crazy. - Right.
That's how you should describe him.
Hee Chul is good.
I told him that he should wear pink...
because there's no girl on our row.
So he wore pink.
- And he looks lovely. - He looks good in pink.
I am quite shy. Don't I look okay?
(He's very pink.)
- You look good. - You look good.
He's really crazy.
He used to wear like that.
Hee Chul mentioned this earlier.
He once did a sitcom with Hyeon Gyeong.
- Really? - It's been 12 years.
- Yes. - You even kissed.
- Really? - Is that right?
- Yes. - That was...
right after my debut.
- I was really shy. - Of course.
And I was an idol then.
It must've been hard to shoot a kiss scene for an idol.
I didn't know what to do. When the shoot began,
I thought I would just pretend to kiss her.
So I kissed her chin.
- And? - Then the director said he could...
see that I was faking it and told me to kiss her.
So I kissed her philtrum.
And the director told me again to kiss her on the lips.
I thought I would ask for her permission.
I asked her, "Can I kiss you?"
And she told me it was okay to really kiss her.
So I smacked her lips.
- And? - The director told me to do it better.
After failing so many times,
I looked at the director and Hyeon Gyeong and thought,
"Should I use my tongue?"
That's inappropriate for a sitcom.
(He took it too far.)
- That's too much. - That's inappropriate.
That's inappropriate for a sitcom.
He kept messing it up.
- He kept messing up. - It was too much.
They usually make it look like you're kissing...
with a special camera work. What was so hard?
- It was... - He said he intentionally did it badly.
He said he intentionally kissed my chin. But he didn't.
I think he was bad.
- Are you saying I'm bad at kissing? - His eyes...
No, that's not it.
- Hey! - At the time, you were bad.
You were bad at the time.
He approached me with his eyes closed.
His eyes were closed, so he couldn't find it.
He couldn't find my lips. He kept doing this.
(He didn't have any skills.)
He kept trying to follow his instinct.
- He was so nervous that... - He closed his eyes.
he closed his eyes too fast.
What did you think, Hyeon Gyeong?
We could've finished it in one go.
He made too many mistakes.
Did you curse at him inside?
It was my debut work.
So I wasn't so good either.
But I did think he was trying to...
pretend he's got experience when he hasn't got any.
- So he was pathetic. - Yes, a little.
- He was bluffing. - He was bluffing. I see.
- I heard people were mean to you. - Yes.
- What did they say? - They said he was prettier.
- Really? - They said he was prettier than me.
I think she got really disappointed in me...
for not kissing well and started spreading the rumor...
that I don't like girls.
- You started the rumor, didn't you? - I didn't.
I never did that.
Na Ra from Hellovenus...
Yes. Yes.
She is often referred as a queen.
Na Ra is our guest today.
- Hello. - She's really pretty.
She's in so many commercials these days.
- She must be so rich. - No, I am not.
- Her legs are 106cm long. - Yes.
They were measured during a show,
and it turned out from my feet to my pelvis...
- was 106cm long. - That's really long.
When I just made my debut, there was always...
- a modifier in front of my name. - What was it?
Hello, we are Hellovenus.
I am Na Ra the girl with a perfect body.
- The perfect body. - I'm sorry,
but didn't you hurt your neck while doing that?
- Hellovenus! - I had to do it powerfully.
She prepared a special outfit.
- She's wearing it inside. - It's really pretty.
Is that called cosplay?
What is it?
- My stylists... - What is it?
My stylists made it specially...
- for Happy Together. - Get up and show us.
Show us the entire outfit instead of the half.
It's glamorous.
(Her perfect body makes it look nicer.)
- They reformed it. - Na Ra has a nice body.
I thought she was born with it,
but it turns out it's the result of her hard work.
- I'm sure. - Yes. When I made my debut,
I was about 10kg heavier.
I looked up ways to lose weight online, and...
- I found Miranda Kerr's diet secret. - What is it?
She doesn't eat anything white.
She doesn't eat rice, flour, sugar, and salt.
Does she not drink milk because it's white?
- I guess so. - She could drink chocolate milk.
- Or strawberry milk. - You'll gain more weight.
You can drink either chocolate or strawberry milk.
You could eat bibimbap instead of plain rice.
You can do that.
- Just don't eat plain rice. - Don't eat it.
- Just eat yukgaejang. - Just eat yukgaejang.
I heard you asked the production team for a favor.
I get anxious about going on a variety show too.
- People on this row, -They are all anxious.
including Hyun Joo, are shy and anxious.
You are more relaxed now, aren't you?
What have I done?
(He is very firm.)
You already seem better.
- You look more relaxed. - You're about to lie down.
- You look relaxed. - Your legs keep moving forward.
- Your legs are moving forward. - He's right.
- His neck is gone. - Yes.
- He's a turtle. - I am sorry,
but stop making Astro Boy with your hands.
You keep making Astro Boy with your hands.
He kept doing this.
The group you made with your friends is called "Shy".
- There's Yu Hae Jin, the busy one. - Yu Hae Jin.
- He's one of the members. - There's Ma Dong Seok.
There's Go Chang Suk too.
- Go Chang Suk. - It shouldn't be called Shy.
- It's like a movie cast. - I know.
Younger members include Min Ho from SHINee.
- Really? - There's Song Joong Ki too.
The group instantly became more handsome.
- There's Boa too. - Boa.
We meet once in a while and drink soju together.
Why is the group called "Shy"?
It takes 25 to 30 minutes...
before our conversations get fired up.
That's why the group's name is "Shy".
When we get together unexpectedly, 4 to 5 people come.
Usually who are those 4 to 5 people?
Go Chang Suk.
Doesn't he come whenever you call him?
He'd come here now if we call him.
(I am always free.)
But it's so early in the morning.
Sang Ho, I heard you get treated the most politely...
at shoots, and that makes you feel uncomfortable.
- It's better now. - How was it at first?
Because of my hair, people thought I was old.
But I told them I was young.
When I told them I was born in 1970,
they went, "You were born in 1970. Darn you!"
- He cursed at me. - He got cursed at again.
- He got cursed again. - He got cursed again.
Why did he curse at me? I didn't lie about my age.
Right. It wasn't like you did something wrong.
- I was just sitting like this. - Right.
It was his fault for misunderstanding your age.
Isn't there something nice about looking old?
It's good when I eat at restaurants.
I would ask them to refill side dishes,
and all the sides dishes end up in front of me.
Everyone must push the plates towards him.
- They think he's old. - They move the plates...
nearer to him.
That's why all the dishes end up in front of him.
- They want him to eat a lot. - Right, they do.
And students must give up their seats to him in a bus.
He could sit on the seats reserved for the elders.
Do I look that old?
Like what you said, you'd look completely...
- different with a wig. - Your face looks young.
- He has a cute face. - He looks cute.
- I think it will suit him well. - When you wear it,
- He's right. - he will look 10 years younger.
(The wig will get rid of all the sorrow...)
(he got from looking old.)
(He looks young.)
(It's shocking though.)
- He looks nice. - This is it.
(He's happy.)
- It's lovely. - It suits him so well.
- He looks 10 years younger. - He does.
You look like an emoji.
- You look so cute. - He looks like the emoji.
- He looks like the emoji. Can you do this? - Yes.
- Can you try it. - Pretend you're surprised.
That's it!
- Go ahead and look at yourself. - He's adorable.
Gosh!
What's wrong?
Have you never thought about wearing a wig?
- He wore a wig for this movie. - Right.
- Did you? - I did.
In "Ordinary People" which will open on March 23,
he acts as a righteous detective.
Can you tell us what it's about?
There are ordinary people like us in it.
It's set in the 1980s, before the Seoul Olympics.
I am a journalist who thinks...
being ordinary is the happiest.
But I get involved in a serial murder case,
- That sounds interesting. - and it changed my life.
- That's what it's about. - He gets swayed so easily.
- He always gets in trouble. - Always in trouble.
- Even in the movie "The Phone". - Always.
He always gets in trouble.
He was in trouble in the movie "Hide and Seek" too.
- Even in the movie "Chronicles of Evil". - Right.
We've talked to Sang Ho about...
- looking older than his age. - Yes.
- John Park gets misunderstood too. - He's...
How old do you think I am?
- I think you'd be my age. - John Park...
- Sir. - Hyun Joo.
You tend to tell a lie.
(He's like a comedian.)
- He tends to tell a lie. - Are you like us?
- Yes, he is. - I just turned 30.
- No way. - You're younger than me.
I can see that Hyeon Gyeong looks...
- younger than him. - She looks young.
- I'm older than John. - I'm older than John.
- Are you older than John? - I'm older than John.
Is that surprising?
- No. I'm sorry. - We are not surprised.
I'm sorry. You don't look old, John.
I am sorry. I'm five years older than him.
- Really? - When we work together...
People must misunderstand.
When we work together, people misunderstand me.
And I wish he was actually younger than me.
People didn't tell you that in the US, did they?
- Do people say that? - In the US,
- people don't talk about it. - I see.
Regardless of your age, you are all friends.
In Korea, people tell me I look older than my age...
and that my head is big. I hear that a lot.
- So... - Your head isn't...
- that big. - Right?
Do people point out if you have a big head?
- No. - People don't point out.
People don't point it out even if you're fat, do they?
They don't say, "Why are you so fat?" Do they?
- They say that. - Do they?
(Sae Ho's offended.)
They'd say that.
Because you had never heard it before,
didn't you feel offended and embarrassed...
when people said you look older than your age?
- I wasn't. I wasn't too offended. - Is that right?
- Or... - Why do you say he looks old?
He doesn't look old.
You just said you thought he was your age.
You're the worst.
- That hurt me the most. - You're the worst.
- Wait. - You're playing with him.
You're really strange today.
- He's got a split personality. - What was that?
He's doing this because he's done promoting his film.
- What are you doing? - He's done his job.
He and I look similar.
- That means he looks older. - Same thing.
- So he looks old. - I look like I'm in early 30s.
- What? - What are you talking about?
(He's being ridiculous.)
- He's unbelievable. - Come on.
He thinks he looks young.
Look at him. He became sulky.
- What are you saying? - You think you look young.
To be honest, now I started to feel comfortable.
It's because everyone here went through a hard time.
- You had a hard time before becoming famous. - True.
Sae Ho had an incredibly hard time.
I know Su Geun underwent hardships too.
I can't believe you.
- Why did you bring up his past? - I mean it.
I don't think he's shy around strangers at all.
- He's really not shy. - It's because I'm tired.
- You should change your group's name. - To what?
To "Mythomania".
(His social group's new name is "Mythomania".)
- Seriously. - Do you know who she is?
Of course I do.
- Who is she? - She's in Hellovenus.
- What's her name? - He's right.
- She's in Hellovenus. - What's her name?
Is it Park Eun Joo?
(His lies seem to be endless.)
(This festival is full of wrong names.)
"Eun Joo"?
- Who is Eun Joo here? - Did he say "Park Eun Joo"?
I can't believe this.
What's more is she's holding a sign with her name.
Goodness.
- He's not shy at all. - He's not.
It's not a matter of shyness. I think he's drunk.
We got distracted while we were talking about John.
- What were we talking about? - John Park...
- We're sorry we forgot about you. - That's okay.
- Gosh. - We said that he looks older than his age.
But he has great skin.
- He does. - His skin is really great.
His skin is that of a baby's.
The thing is that he will look like...
- he's in his 30s when he's in his 40s. - I agree.
Didn't you look like this when you were in high school?
- Yes, I think so. - Exactly.
I looked like this when I was in high school too.
Stop lying.
With just a simple search on the Internet,
we'll find out you looked different two years ago.
- How could you? - Maybe he changed two years ago.
Sang Ho. I heard during election seasons, supporters...
asked you to vote when you were in middle school.
Were you embarrassed?
What a fun program.
This is really fun.
When the shoot is over, he might say,
- "You, come over here." - No, I won't.
- You won't? - No.
- Really? - "I smiled since we were filming."
"Let's talk."
When I heard, Su Geun and Hee Chul are joining,
I realized I'd be with some scary conversationalists.
Now I'm with them, this is quite fun.
They blurt out their stream of consciousness.
"Stream of consciousness"?
- Hold on. - He said "Stream of consciousness".
You mean they just blurt whatever comes to their mind.
- No, they think and talk. - You're right on that.
They don't filter out their thoughts.
- How great. - Once I hesitate, I can't talk then.
- I keep hesitating. - I agree with him.
Su Geun, I heard you are happy because of...
- Hee Chul lately. - What is this about?
He brings a lot of happy occasions and he energizes me.
- He does? - Do you know...
about those newspapers called tabloid?
Recently, he sent me what it said on the tabloid.
- That makes you happy? - It said he was gay on it.
- I heard. - They think I like men.
It questioned his preference.
Since I spent a lot of time with him, I can see how...
- the rumor came about. - Why do you think so?
- He's close with members of girl groups. - True.
He's very close, but the important thing is...
there are not that many who think of him as a man.
They ask for advice. They ask about their clothes...
and songs. He's more of a good senior colleague.
When I'm with him in the waiting room,
we video call Seol Hyun when she's on the subway.
He video call girl groups who are without makeup.
Whenever he calls them, they always answer his call.
- I see. - This is so strange.
- He even went on a trip to Gapyeong. - He did.
They took a photo with everyone in it.
Hee Chul looks pretty among the girls.
- He doesn't look out of place at all. - Really?
Everyone looks like they're in girl groups.
Even though I am close with him,
whenever we hang out, it's all men.
Remember that time we hung out with Lee Yu Bi and Suzy?
I was just getting to that part.
- There was Suzy? - Why did you leave that out?
You should call me when that happens.
I went to where we were supposed to meet.
- I saw Suzy there. - Goodness.
- How amazing. - Yu Bi was there as well.
- This is amazing. - You mean Suzy from Miss A?
They trust in me.
That's why I don't try to date or flirt with them.
For example, Say that...
if I find Na Ra attractive and want to date her,
I don't try to be friends with her.
- I see. - That's true.
- Once we're close, I can't date her. - Right.
If I tell a girl to drop the honorifics, I don't see...
- myself dating her. - You don't see her that way.
- I see. - So you don't see yourself dating Na Ra?
(What is his relationship with Na Ra now?)
Let's keep the honorific for now.
He's a player.
- My goodness. - He's so cool.
You have skills.
- What? - What did you say?
My agency told me about dangerous senior colleagues...
- before my debut. - "Dangerous senior colleagues"?
- I know there's a list. - I was told Hee Chul...
- is not dangerous. - People they shouldn't meet.
- I see. - There were...
- Who are on the list? - Isn't Hyun Moo on it?
- How about Hyun Moo? - Am I on it too?
I think he was on the list.
(You, bad man!)
- This can't be. - Let me give you a good scolding.
- He embarrasses me a lot. - Hey!
- I knew it. - Goodness.
- You're horrible. - This isn't fair.
- Look at you. - I hang out with them less than...
he does. I have meals with them. I don't go on trips.
Members of girl groups find it relaxing to meet him.
(Meeting with Hee Chul is comforting for them.)
They told me that when they hang out with me,
there are no rumors and they feel at ease.
You talk about them on TV. Yet, there are no rumors?
- Not at all. - He has to meet secretly...
and there will be rumors.
Is that so?
- That's why... - We have to meet openly.
I am close with the CEOs of the agencies.
One of them said,
"Can't you go out with our entertainers?"
They trust me so much that they said this to me.
I couldn't even think about dating them.
Which members of girl group have you been close lately?
- Lately... - He keeps an eye on a lot of them.
I know whom he's interested in.
- Who is she? - Who is she?
She's an anchor.
- I see. - There are a lot of them including anchors.
You really like this anchor, don't you?
- That anchor? - Right.
You like her. You said she's your ideal type.
- I did. - Hold on, this isn't what I meant.
If you keep at this, I'll spill the beans about you.
Hey, I didn't mean... It's because...
- Who do you think has more to lose? - Tell us!
- We didn't do anything. - Tell us!
- They might fight and tell us everything. - Hey.
- Hyun Moo, I'm crazy. - We...
Hyun Moo,
- be careful. - Hyeon Gyeong.
- I heard... - Let's hear your story.
when you were filming a sitcom,
you said he had mood swings.
He had dramatic mood swings.
I filmed a scene with him in the morning and one...
in the afternoon. By then, he was a different person.
- How is it possible? - In the morning,
he was nice towards me when we filmed.
When I came back from lunch,
he sounded so depressed.
- What is this? - He was like this.
Are you certain you are not crazy?
Seriously. What's the meaning of this?
- I had mood swings. - They were very dramatic.
- My nickname is Mr. Mood Swing... - It's true.
because of my mood swings. This is embarrassing.
I am one year older than him.
He called me without the honorific.
He was confused.
- At that time, he was a superstar. - I see.
- I said, "Hi, Hee Chul" and let it go. - True.
I remember that. We met again.
After that incident, we met again.
When I said, "Hi, Sae Ho",
he said, "Hi, Hee Chul".
"Hee Chul, I'm sorry to bring this up."
"I don't know if I can say this to you."
"Don't get mad."
"Hee Chul, I think I'm a year older than you."
"I'm sorry, but I just think I'm older than you."
Then I addressed him with honorific. I didn't know.
- He said you can drop it though, right? - I...
- Hey. - I knew him...
- You should've said, "So what"? - before his debut.
- Before his debut, - Did we meet at a club?
- You literally tell everything. - I remember things.
I don't tell everything.
Why didn't you share you met at a club?
We met and he told me he was going to debut.
Since I was working at that time,
I told him to always be humble and work hard.
- After that, he became so popular. - Right.
He misunderstood about my age. We cleared it up.
- Na Ra. - Yes.
I heard you are loved by the soldiers.
- Gosh. - It'd be weird if she wasn't.
- Right. - How popular are you?
- She sings well. - When I go to the military bases,
I go to cheer them up, but they are so responsive...
- which energizes me. - They cheer you up.
- When I was there... - Even if it's the same dance,
- when the audience cheers... - I put more efforts.
- You probably do. - Right.
(Let's check the difference!)
- She dances well. - This is for a regular stage.
(The dance one can see on "Music Bank")
We can see it on "Music Bank".
- Now you're in a military base. - Military base.
It's Hellovenus!
(This is the stage at a military base.)
(A troop of middle-aged men)
- Na Ra! - Na Ra!
(With all the energy,)
(she puts more effort into it!)
(It feels like she has turned into real Venus.)
- Na Ra! - Na Ra!
(She does each move with the utmost passion.)
- Hold on. Na Ra. - Goodness.
Don't you think you danced better the first time?
Na Ra, he is Command Sergeant Major.
Please say hello.
Goodness. What an honor.
- Have a meal with him. - Thank you.
Thank you!
All right. Off you go, Soldier!
Sang Ho.
(This won't air.)
You just made this whole segment go to waste!
How dare you!
(Slapped)
- Well done. - Why did you slap me?
- He hit Myung Soo. - You did a great job.
Why did you slap me? I'll turn 50 soon.
- It's like an ad. - This is too funny.
"I'll turn 50 soon."
- How could he say that? - You two...
- We are friends. - Didn't you meet today?
We are friends now.
- Right now, Hyun Joo... - What a mess.
Goodness. Hyun Joo.
I've starred on shows with Hyun Joo before.
- This is a unique character. - It suits him.
This is who he is. He has multiple personalities.
Today, Hyun Joo is doing such a good job.
My mood swings can't be a match for his personalities.
I'm sorry about that.
Remember him when we first started the opening segment.
(His 1st personality is being humble.)
(His 2nd personality is being shy.)
(His 3rd personality is being brazen.)
(You seem to lie through your teeth.)
(His 4th personality is being prone to lie.)
(His 5th personality is being violent.)
- Why don't you go and lie down? - Show...
- your feeling through you dance. - All of a sudden?
(He starts dancing out of the blue.)
(His 6th personality is being crazy.)
- What's wrong with him? - What's the matter?
What's going on with him?
- What's up with you? - You're scaring me now.
- Isn't this like a film "Identity"? - What's wrong?
He's funny.
It's really like "Identity".
("7 Identities")
- He's awesome. - The dance he just did...
- is from Jinusean's song "Tell Me". - Stop it.
- Tell me the truth - Stop it.
I told you to stop, Su Geun.
Insert the song.
He'll become a regular cast.
Is that so weird for me to dance?
(Is that so weird for me to dance?)
You're acting, right?
(His 7th personality is being psychopathic.)
Was that an act?
(They get goosebumps.)
- It's just like the advertisement he's in. - Right.
(Don't wake me up!)
I really like that advertisement of yours.
I like you, Su Geun.
Then why don't you two kiss?
- I'm ready. - Goodness.
(His 8th personality is being affectionate.)
- What's wrong with this guy? - Excuse me.
He'll do whatever we ask him to do today.
(Falling)
He'll do whatever we ask him to do today.
(His unexpected charms keep surprising them.)
The space here is tight.
He'll do whatever we ask him to do today.
The space here is tight.
(He didn't do that on purpose.)
- We don't have a lot of room here. - "Tight"?
(He's having a hard time.)
Don't get me wrong.
(Please don't hit me.)
- It's tight. - You play charismatic roles in dramas.
The chair got folded on its own. Don't be mistaken.
(He almost fell.)
The chair was folded.
- Hold on. - You must be careful.
John Park. You're known to be a heavy drink who will...
succeed after Sung Si Kyung and Shin Dong Yeob.
- I didn't know. - This got exaggerated.
When I was in school, I drank cheap liquor.
The bottle was this big, but was only seven dollars.
- I had... - There are cheap bottles like that?
- The one that said "Captain" on it. - Right.
- In college, you drink to get wasted. - Right.
After I got to Korea,
Huh Gak taught me how to drink soju.
After filming the audition show, when we got home,
I drank 4 to 5 bottles if I drank a lot.
- By yourself? - Yes.
- He can drink. - That's his lunch.
- No, it's not. - Really?
- Four bottles of soju? - I see.
(He's surprised.)
- It's not true. - You were about to swear at him.
(He was close.)
You can't do that.
You two have that in common by the way.
- You also learned how to swear in Korean. - Right.
I went to primary school in Korea for a while.
I was aware of the curse words that began with...
F and S.
I lived in the dormitory of the show with...
Gak and Kim Ji Soo. They starred on the show with me.
I noticed that they cursed a lot in the dormitory.
One day, they kept saying "John".
They kept calling me "John".
- I thought they were saying my name. - I see.
It turned out that it was a curse word.
(They cursed a lot.)
- "You are such a batch." - They said that.
That sounds like you just swore at him.
You cursed at him.
- I can't say that? - Please be careful.
- It sounds like a curse word. - I'm sorry.
There are a lot of foreigners in SM Entertainment too.
The thing we say is that we have to know...
curse words so that we know what they are...
- and we won't use them overseas. - Right.
- If we don't know swear words... - It's possible.
- We have to know how to curse. - That makes sense.
I believe it's the first thing we should learn.
- True. - I say this when I teach them how to curse.
(He spreads his belief.)
I wasn't educated properly.
I thought we learned to curse back...
when foreigners curse at me.
(It was to curse back at foreigners.)
I didn't know the correct reason to it.
This has been a while...
since we hosted our show in the sauna. It's...
time to discover stars' true colors with their memory.
- "What Is This?" - "What Is This?"
- I remember this. - You do, right?
- I remember this. - It's been a while.
Each one of you has a key.
We have put your memorabilia in your locker in advance.
You can tell us a story about the object.
Why don't you go first, Hyun Joo?
- Please open the locker. - What is it?
- He put it around his ankle. - Goodness.
- It's been so long. - It means he's been to sauna...
- You're right. - if he puts it around his ankle.
- Nowadays, it's an automatic key. - Right.
- It's Locker 103. - It's behind you.
- It's right behind you. - Where?
Be careful when you open it.
It might fall out.
- What is it? - Isn't it tripe?
(His memorable item is tripe.)
When I was acting in theaters and it was before...
I starred on dramas, I didn't think I had a hard life.
It's how things were as a theater actor.
Well... I had a friend. It was...
before the twin buildings were built in Yangjae-dong.
In that lot, I used to run a tripe restaurant.
(It's unrevealed history of this great actor.)
- You did? - Yes.
I sold tripe hot pot and grilled tripe.
I thought it was the norm.
I had to act in theaters and run a business.
I had to buy the meat from Majang-dong.
Especially, the tastiest part of the tripe for beef...
- is the mucus as you all know. - Yes.
- The mucus has to be there. - The tripe for pigs...
is a bit different. I pull it inside out and clean it.
I have to wash it thoroughly to get rid of the smell.
I remember running a restaurant.
That was an honest work.
It's hard to earn money.
- You all know this. - Of course.
I heard even after you became an actor,
you appeared in nightclubs.
I don't know if you know this.
It was 1996.
There was a drama called "First Love".
- You got popular from it. - You were Ju Jung Nam.
My role was a musician.
In the drama, I wrote a song called...
- "I Miss You Though I'm With You". - I loved it.
- I miss you - I miss you
- Though I'm with you - You sang this?
You sang this famous song?
(Jung Nam is a musician who makes a living in clubs.)
(He garnered a lot of attention for his innocent love.)
Did you release an album...
- since it got so popular? - He did.
- 400,000 albums were sold. - There it is.
- That's from so long ago. - You don't look shy.
(Here it is.)
It was played so many times.
About 400,000 of this were sold on the street.
- It was a huge success. - It was in great demand.
I didn't get any profits from this.
- I wish I can hear him sing. - That's why...
a lot of clubs wanted to sing at their place.
After a year, my career started to head south.
From Busan... - You started from the rural side?
I always said the same line. "Hello, I'm Jung Nam."
Ju Jung Nam.
These are the people I said hello backstage.
I said hello to Seol Un Do,
Jo Hang Jo,
Hye Eun Yi,
and Bang Sil E.
I used to sing with them.
- As you know, - You play guitar well.
if you know how to play three chords,
- you can play a song. - You're right.
- Right. - All you need is three chords.
- Really? - Yes.
You need to know A minor, D minor,
- G7. E7 is useful too. - G7 or E7.
He was in a singing competition.
- I miss - I miss
(Out of nowhere, he starts a music class.)
Sorry to interrupt, but when will you start?
- Can you just sing? - There are other people here.
It'll be funny if he can't play guitar after all this.
(Shall Is show you?)
(He will show his true skill.)
I miss you though
This is it.
(What?)
- Are you done? - Is this it?
- It's too short. - You should sing more.
- I'll show you later. - Maybe he can't play it.
Please sing the song.
(Everyone seems to be angry.)
- You made Jae Seok angry. - What is this?
What are you doing?
(In the end,)
(he pulls out slapstick comedy.)
What's wrong with you?
- You can't do that. - Hyun Joo.
(He pretends he knows nothing.)
Goodness.
He even pushed me before.
"Hey, get rid of the annoying customer at table three."
"An annoying customer at table three."
- Please sing that song. - I will sing later.
- Later when? - Please.
- Later? - When will you sing?
(He does it again.)
He said he'll do it later.
- Why do you keep insisting? - Later when?
I will show you next week.
(It's a tug of nerves.)
- You have to come next week then. - I will.
- Really? - It will be The Metal Tray Karaoke, right?
- We already filmed it. - You have to...
- You have to call the chorus. - This is funny.
(With Su Geun's lead, the song starts.)
- Start, in 2, 3, 4. - I miss
(He'll really sing this time.)
(He has an attractive tone of voice.)
Do you know how many times you sang that part?
(Smiling)
(I miss you though I'm with you)
(My darling)
(This moment has put him on the map.)
(We are listening to it again.)
Let's stop here.
(Ju Jung Nam has returned successfully.)
I have to get going. How about my fee?
You didn't pay me last time too.
- This man took my last paycheck. - Stop it.
- Stop acting. - That's enough.
- Enough with your acting. - Hey, have a drink.
Come on. This is enough.
- I'll give you later. - Only you care about me.
Stop it.
- Hey. - How many skits have you done?
- Hey. - Let me eat some side dishes.
John Park, can you play the guitar?
- Right. - He's a great singer.
- His song... - In the raining
- I will sing "In the Rain" then. - Great.
- It's Lee Moon Sae's song. - In the rain
(In the rain)
(He stops goofing around...)
(and returns as a balladeer.)
(His voice is romantic.)
He sounds like he's from the US.
(His voice makes her heart flutter.)
(The love between you and I)
(It was impossible)
(They think deeply about their memory.)
- It was so soulful. - He's really good.
- Hee Chul. You should sing. - How about you?
- Sing "Sorry, Sorry" with the guitar. - No.
- "Sorry, Sorry"? - Please sing it just once.
Please sing the song with the guitar.
- Play A minor. - Isn't this it?
(The song starts.)
(More they listen to the song)
- Is it a religious chant? - Is it "Whale Hunting"?
- It's a religious chant. - It's that song.
(He shifts his attitude swiftly.)
- It sounds like "Whale Hunting". - This is...
Monks sing this song when they feel sorry.
- Sorry, Sorry - Sorry, Sorry
(Please forgive me for my sins.)
Sang Ho dreamed of becoming a singer.
How nice!
I sing "Rainwater" when I go to a karaoke.
- It's Bae Chul Soo's song, right? - Yes.
Please sing it. Su Geun, can you play the guitar?
I will give it a go.
- It's good to have Su Geun. - It's a band.
Please sing a little bit of the song.
(It falls on your back when you turn around)
He lowered the key.
This is how the song originally goes.
(This is the original key.)
That's too high.
- It's right. - Sing it in your tone.
It falls on your back
(He has a unique vocalization.)
(Focusing)
Teardrops
(He does his best to hit high notes.)
You sound like an ascetic.
- Seriously. - I told you I don't want to sing.
It was the rain-making ceremony.
- He is an ascetic. - "Please let it rain."
- Sorry, Sorry - "Please let it rain."
(The monk is still sorry.)
- Sorry, Sorry - "Please let it rain."
(He came to the spirit of a mountain.)
(You struggled in life.)
- "Please let it rain." - My goodness.
It looks like...
he is an ascetic.
"Please let it rain."
- He must have powers. - An ascetic.
It will rain today.
"Everything will go well."
(Thank you for the blessing.)
"The Chaser" is my favorite drama.
I greatly enjoyed watching it.
- I heard you almost didn't get the role. - Why not?
That's right. It was a substitute drama.
- Really? - It was an incredible drama.
- What's a substitute drama? - It was rescheduled...
for about three times.
When it was rescheduled for the fourth time,
I thought it was another lie.
Then I heard the drama will be released.
I remember working hard in fear of cancellation.
I heard you struggled during the shoot.
It was different from other dramas.
In the drama, my character loses his child...
- and his wife. - That's right.
- I cried during the shoot... - You had to cry a lot.
and cried after the shoot while drinking soju.
Only two close friends remained by my side.
They didn't like it because I cried too much.
When you get absorbed in a character,
I heard it can be hard to return to yourself.
It was like that at the time. It was very hard.
Isn't it good for an actor?
It's better to break out of a character quickly.
An actor should distance himself after the shoot.
- Hyeon Gyeong is in "Innocent Defendant". - Right.
She is so absorbed that the director asked her...
- to stop. - I heard the director always tells her...
to stop being so emotional.
She is so absorbed that when I see her outside,
she goes, "Sae Ho, you are here."
- She stays in character. - She doesn't like you.
When I walked into the waiting room last week,
she said, "Jae Seok, what are you doing here?"
I saw that. She really did that.
- You did that, right? - Yes, she did.
- Don't be emotional in real life. - She is absorbed.
She is a good actress.
Let's check out Sang Ho's item this time.
You must feel comfortable now.
- You feel comfortable now, right? - Yes, I do.
- Show us your item. - Let's take a look.
- What is that? - It's an earthen pot.
Are you going to break it?
Is he going to break it with his head?
Why did you bring an earthen pot?
When I was in plays, I struggled a lot.
I didn't even have a place to stay.
That's why I sold ramyeon at Wonju one time.
- Wonju. - My hometown is Gyeongju.
I had promised to return as a successful man...
in a black car, so it was embarrassing to go there.
My wife, whom I was dating at the time lived in Wonju.
- She lived there at the time. - You went to Wonju.
Ramyeon is eaten...
in a hurry at stations and waiting rooms.
Sometimes, it's sad to eat ramyeon in a plastic bowl.
I thought about a way to diminish that feeling.
Then kimchi jjigae and doenjang jjigae came to mind.
"I should cook ramyeon in an earthen pot."
However, I bought earthen pots that are too big.
What did you do?
- I couldn't serve ramyeon only. - That looks bad.
For seafood ramyeon, I added two shrimp,
four warty sea squirts,
and four clams.
- That's seafood soup. - That dish cost two dollars.
- What? - My goodness.
Then I gave a bowl of rice for free.
You wouldn't make any profit that way.
My shop was pretty popular, but I didn't make money.
- Of course you didn't. - You were too generous.
That's like a food truck of love.
(I will give you a generous amount of food.)
Then I started to hate my customers.
"Gosh, I have a customer again."
He ended up hating everything.
Most people would be glad to have customers.
- You hated them. - You hated seeing them eat.
- He didn't make a profit. - He didn't make money.
When the customers said, "This is tasty,"
he thought, "It's their fault."
- He hated seeing them eat shrimp. - It's unusual.
- He must have hated customers in a group. - I...
ended up raising the price by 50 cents.
I talked about it to university students ahead of time,
and all of them said I should do that.
"You should raise the price."
- It's only 50 cents. - I raised the price.
(What was the change in sales?)
The customers stopped coming.
(He stopped getting customers.)
- That's harsh. - I learned...
- it's hard to run a business. - You are right.
You once left the industry due to financial problems.
It was around the time...
I stopped selling ramyeon.
I couldn't get a room, so I slept and ate...
on the floor of the shop.
I worked as a day laborer on construction sites.
In the morning, I delivered newspapers.
I slept four hours a day during that time.
It must have been hard.
It wasn't hard because I made money.
When I was in plays, I didn't make money.
After some time passed,
I came to miss being in plays.
I really wanted to be on the stage again.
I told my wife, "I am sorry,"
"but I really want to be in plays."
"I want to go back to Seoul."
She asked me to give her a week...
- to gather her thoughts. - "I will think about it."
After a week,
she said, "Can you make me happy?"
Before she was done,
I cut her off and said, "I can. Let's go."
You are manly.
With 5,000 dollars,
we made home at a rooftop room in Bulgwang-dong.
- It's a movie. - That's cool.
- It's a movie. - Seriously.
Sang Ho, your life is a movie. It's a drama.
How much do play actors make in a year?
- What is their annual salary? - I heard that...
they struggle financially.
The most I made...
in a year was 2,000 dollars.
- That was your annual salary? - Yes.
It's strange because I kept drinking.
- I drank a lot. - The others said the same thing.
- That's right. - You make enough for a drink.
Someone always buys drinks.
- It was the same for Hyun Joo. - That's right.
I made about 600 dollars a year.
It's not even enough for transportation.
Like Sang Ho said,
- drinks never ran out. - How strange!
One time, I was drinking with a friend.
I had 50 cents in my pocket.
I had two hours until the first train.
I was lying down on Hyehwa-dong Rotary...
to wait for the first train.
A taxi approached me.
I said, "I don't have money for taxi."
The driver got out and walked towards me.
- "Where do you need to go?" - "Mia intersection".
"Get in. I will give you a ride."
- "No. I don't have money." - You were scared.
Then he grabbed my wrist.
Why did he do that?
There was intent behind his action.
I thought to myself, "I am in trouble."
- "I am in trouble." - "I am being kidnapped."
The driver used his force.
My friend who drank with me...
saw our interaction and approached us.
He said, "What are you doing?"
The taxi driver mumbled something and left.
My friend's name was Se Won.
"Se Won, thank you."
I slept at his place.
Because I was lying down on a bench,
he must have thought no one will miss me.
- That's scary. - I don't know what it was.
It could have been a disaster.
Your amazing wife supported you.
How did you meet her?
Grilled shellfish restaurants were trendy at the time.
- That's right. - They were in vogue.
She walked in. She was wearing dress pants...
and carrying a manila folder with her short hair tied.
I thought to myself, "Her eyes shine."
- "She is my woman." - That's how we met.
Did she reciprocate your feelings from the start?
No, she didn't. She said,
"Sang Ho, while I know that you are a nice man,"
- "I don't want to live with you." - I understand.
- For goodness' sake. - Bandmaster.
It was understandable. I had nothing.
What did you tell her?
I didn't promise to give her things I can't give.
"I didn't ask you to live with me. Let's just drink."
That's what I said.
That was cool.
- It's a movie. - He is a player.
- He is mischievous. - He is the master player.
- The master player. - I am impressed.
He is the best.
- Where do you live now? - I live in Suji-gu.
He is the player of Suji-gu.
That was fun.
Let's see the next item.
- Open the locker. - Su Geun, you can go next.
Why did you bring egg bread?
- It was the year of 1997. - Okay.
After the military, I worked at a billiard hall.
- You worked there. - My uncle ran a billiard hall,
so I ate and slept there.
I slept on a billiard table because it's heated.
- Really? - The billiard table is warm.
- He is right. - It makes the balls roll more easily.
- Really? - The billiard hall had...
- regular customers from the neighborhood. - Right.
There were delinquents and such.
One of the hoodlums...
asked me to sell egg bread one day.
- It was an offer. - He said he will buy the machine.
He asked me to sell egg bread.
It was a nice idea. He had a great spot...
in front of Sungshin Women's University in Donam-dong.
He asked for 50 percent of what I earned.
There was no deposit. He provided the machine.
- That's right. - You could take the rest.
- I could take the remaining 50 percent. - It's nice.
Right? The egg bread stand became so popular...
that I sold 130 dollars' worth after a few days.
The owner of the bakery nearby...
jokingly said,
"My shop is struggling because of you."
- That's how popular it was. - It wasn't a joke.
The sales were good because I was funny.
- How did you sell it? - If my customers...
had to wait, I would drop an egg.
Then I asked what this situation is called in English.
- What is it called in English? - I don't know.
(What's the answer?)
- "My goodness." - It sounds like "Egg" in Korean.
- "My goodness." - It was a great joke in the 90s.
It was groundbreaking.
- You entertained your customers. - That's right.
"Did you do well on your exam?" "No."
Then I would pick up an egg and say, "My goodness."
That's what I did.
- They must have laughed. - It sounds childish now.
His stand must have become famous in schools nearby.
It gets promoted through words of mouth.
- That's right. - I went to my business partner,
and he took half of the money.
Because I had to buy ingredients with my half,
- I made no money. - That's right.
I told him that we should divide the money...
after buying the ingredients.
He said, "That's not what we agreed on."
I ended up making 15 dollars a day.
I could deal with that.
About a week later, unwelcomed customers came.
"Who told you that you can run a business here?"
They said, "Give us 10 dollars' worth of egg bread."
To make 10 dollars' worth of egg bread...
Egg bread cost 50 cents at the time.
I could only make three egg bread at a time.
To make 20 egg bread,
I had to concentrate.
- They left after getting bread. - They didn't pay.
They left without paying.
One thug became a regular after eating the bread.
- My goodness. - I even thought,
"I might win if we fight one-on-one."
Even though he looked young, he talked down to me.
He would get 10 dollars' worth...
or 20 dollars' worth of egg bread.
I went to my business partner and told him...
that I can't do this anymore.
He told me that the machine costs 400 dollars...
and demanded that I pay for it.
My goodness.
- That was a huge amount then. - He is a hoodlum.
I couldn't make 400 dollars,
so I got on a bus with my friend late at night...
and went to Mount Sokri in Chungcheong Province.
I hid myself at a park there.
I had worked as a recreation instructor.
People whom I worked with told me it was my calling,
but I had turned down their offers.
When I called one of them, he told me to come.
My friend and I ran away late at night.
Tell us what you did as a recreation instructor.
I was the best recreation instructor.
- I ran events in a special way. - How did you do it?
I don't mean to belittle them,
but recreation instructors of the old days...
- usually started with a song. - That's right.
"Clap your hands three times."
Since students have seen that from elementary school,
- they don't find it fun. - That's right.
I made an entrance in costumes.
I wore a big wig and a long coat.
- Comedian Kim Ji Ho... - Did he work with you?
would introduce me to the crowd.
"He studied abroad in Brazil."
"For all of you,"
"he made time. I introduce Antonio Banmandera."
Then I showed up in a long coat and swimming goggles.
When I walked between the students,
they went wild.
(Screaming)
(Speaking nonsense)
"The overall atmosphere..."
I added in Korean to make students laugh.
(They gave a big reaction.)
That's what I did often.
Would you give a show for the guests?
Everyone sings "Firefly" by Shin Hyung Won at retreats.
No matter how much I fool myself
I have no friend
- This used to be the dance. - That's right.
They do it differently these days.
They do this.
Please play the guitar. We will sing and dance.
Let's do this together.
(Su Geun's version of "Firefly")
(Although I stick out my chest)
(He is a fat kid who is overly enthusiastic.)
(They become lonely together.)
I have no friend
(The song reaches its climax.)
(As expected,)
(chaos ensues.)
(He participates the most diligently.)
(They are exhausted.)
Tonight
(Like this)
(I cry myself to sleep)
(Lowering their voices)
You need make a snoring sound. Let's try it.
Watch carefully.
(Cry and snore suddenly.)
I cry myself
Sae Ho, try it first.
I cry myself to sleep
This is what happens. Since Sae Ho did a good job,
his group gets a perfect score.
- It's Sang Ho's turn. - He is the vice-principal.
(It's the vice-principal's turn.)
Don't make fun of your vice-principal, you jerks.
My goodness.
Let's begin.
(How will the scene stealer act it out?)
(It's impressive.)
It's Hyun Joo's turn.
(The experienced actor will play a child.)
(Snoring)
(He looks intense even as a child.)
He doesn't disappoint.
Let's do it together.
(They wrap up by singing together.)
Let's look inside Hee Chul's locker.
It's red underwear.
The color red suits Hee Chul.
I love the color red.
I feel comfortable when there is something red.
There were many red objects...
- in Hee Chul's house. - That's right.
(Hee Chul's house is filled with red objects.)
I got those furniture custom-made.
It's hard to have red furniture in the house.
I love wearing red clothes.
(He often wears red clothes.)
When I lived in a dormitory,
Lee Teuk and I used a big bedroom together.
- Lee Teuk loves color white. - That's right.
If you divide the room in half,
his side was completely white,
while my side was completely red.
Lee Teuk and Shin Dong was on Happy Together.
They talked about a fight.
I had a fight with a member.
We had a live performance before resolving the issue.
Lee Teuk and I have opposite personalities.
Let's say Lee Teuk decided...
that he doesn't like Myung Soo.
Then he keeps it to himself...
and suffers on his own.
- If I don't like someone, - What do you say?
I say, "What are you doing? Do you not like me?"
- I ask right away. - That's good.
Since Teuk and I lived together,
misunderstandings piled up.
It exploded on the day...
we had to perform in Incheon.
When we were in the waiting room, Lee Teuk said,
"We need to talk for a second."
I replied, "What is it about?"
He voiced complaints that had piled up.
I was too young back then. I should have said,
"I am sorry about those times."
Instead, I said, "You should have told me then."
"You are so petty."
- You called him petty. - You hurt his pride.
Lee Teuk had restrained himself.
Lee Teuk got so angry...
that he grabbed me by the collar. We had a fistfight.
- Really? - Security guards and members came.
- There were other singers too. - What happened?
Back then, Lee Teuk had worked out a lot.
He had an amazing body.
During the fight,
I grabbed him by the collar.
Suddenly, in front of security guards and onlookers,
he took off his top.
He was showing off his body.
He wasn't panting in anger.
He was flexing his abs.
When you are angry,
you say, "Hey."
(Angrily showing off his body)
"Hey."
That's like Bruce Lee.
He led me outside for no reason...
and took off his top before everyone.
(Abs of fury)
"I restrained myself for 10 years."
He had impressive abs.
He grabbed me by the collar.
I did the same, but his body was covered in oil.
I tried to grab him, but it was slippery.
It was a ridiculous situation.
The security guards said, "Lee Teuk, please go inside."
(Screaming)
(The muscular Lee Teuk explodes.)
He screamed.
Which song were you promoting at the time?
It was "Bonamana".
During the performance, there was a part...
where Lee Teuk and I stand back to back.
- On the stage... - My goodness.
We fought before we took the stage.
On the stage, we stole glances...
and decided not to do it. Timidly,
we barely made our backs touch.
We pulled apart right away.
(Push and pull of friendship)
Let's see John's item.
John Park.
What is that?
- Why is there a rose? - Will we hear a love story?
It's related to a sad story from my high school days.
What's the story?
In high school, I was in an a cappella group.
I was being pretentious.
The tradition of the group...
involved serenading a girl you like...
with a rose late at night.
That was the tradition.
- It's a bit pretentious. - That's right.
Things were going well...
between me and this girl I met at church.
- We were dating. - What happened?
Was she Korean?
Yes. She was Korean American.
I went to her and sang.
I sang "Still of the Night" romantically.
Then, I gave her a rose.
(He gave her a rose.)
I had my first kiss with her.
- Was it your first kiss? - Yes, it was.
He was in 10th grade then.
- That's early. - Was he a punk?
- You weren't a nerd. - No.
You were a playboy. You kissed a girl.
(Like a scene from a movie,)
(he sang a romantic song for her,)
(and he had his first kiss with her.)
After we kissed,
- she never called me again. - Why?
- Didn't you use mouthwash? - What went wrong?
- You didn't use mouthwash, right? - What was it?
- It's not that. - That's funny.
(She left him because of his bad breath?)
- He must've been a bad kisser. - How did you do it?
Why did she leave him after that?
Did you kiss her on the chin like I did?
- No. - Maybe he opened his eyes.
It was my first kiss, so I was awkward.
- That's understandable. - Right.
She was only one year older than me.
She must've kissed an American man.
- That's ridiculous. - That's funny.
The US is the country of origin of kiss.
The country of origin?
- We're not talking about a product. - Nonsense.
It's not like oranges.
- A kiss made in the US. - Gosh.
- "Kiss" is an English word, - A kiss made in the US.
and kiss originates from this area in the US.
- How did he kiss her? - Exactly.
- It failed. - Everything was going well.
Before then, we barely touched each other.
We didn't even hold each other's hand.
When we touched each other for the first time,
I think I didn't feel like a man to her.
- She thought of me as a friend. - That's so sad.
As he looks older than he is, she expected him to lead,
but he acted like a baby with a face of a grown man.
- Did you ask her? - She was disappointed.
Did you ask her, "Can I kiss with you?"
"Can I kiss with you?"
- That's not the correct expression. - Right.
Should I say, "Together, kiss, let's go?"
I hate that.
Na Ra just said, "I really hate that!"
We'll give you a lifetime membership of our bathhouse.
Didn't you just kiss her like this?
- I think I did. - Right?
Like this.
(This is how he kissed her on the chin.)
I don't get it. She was a teenager too.
What kind of kiss did she want?
Think about it. How else would he have kissed her?
- He's right. - That's right.
I couldn't kiss her like this.
(It would've ruined the innocence of a first kiss.)
- I have a question. - It doesn't happen a lot.
I heard you treat a woman like a reporter.
- Please tell us about it. - Oh, that.
After I made my debut as a singer,
many women asked me out.
- Is that true? - I mean,
when I just debuted. Non-celebrities asked me out too.
- I understand. - I felt really good.
But one time,
I had my heart broken.
- Why? - What happened?
I met a woman who was trying to use me.
Tell us what she did to use you.
Feel free to talk about it.
He's talking about it right now.
Just let him talk.
- He just started talking about it. - Let him finish.
- From here, - Let him finish first.
all I can see is Jae Seok's back.
It's more like a radio show to me.
(He had to tilt his head all along.)
Gosh, Myung Soo.
I've been putting up with this for five hours.
(He's showing off his abs.)
- All I can see from here... - I think...
when Lee Teuk watches this,
he would be angry.
(I am angry.)
He would build muscles once again.
- Please go on. - Okay.
She wanted to make her debut through me.
- She wanted to become famous. - She wanted fame.
- I see. - Your girlfriend did?
She wasn't famous.
- Did it make you cautious? - Yes, I became cautious.
- Whenever someone asks me out, - I understand.
I try to think of it as an interview...
or a press conference.
I keep a distance from them.
You shouldn't do that.
- What should he do then? - He should enjoy himself.
What do you mean by that?
Don't try too much to be perfect.
Just go for it when you kiss a lady too.
- How? - Are you wearing a cast?
(He's sitting in a weird stance.)
Why are you touching your belly button?
- Why are you touching it? - I'm sorry,
but you're being too comfortable.
- Take your hand out already. - Look at him.
It's as if he's resting...
in his own living room.
Hyun Joo, you said you were shy with strangers.
(Hyun Joo being shy, Hyun Joo being comfortable)
- Anyway, John, - Yes?
- if you try too hard to be perfect, - Yes.
- you might regret later in your life. - Right.
- He could. - I'd like to consult Hyun Joo...
about dating.
As you grow older, you become unsure...
whether this woman is the right person for you,
and as a result, you just let the woman you like go.
I wonder what to do in that case.
I think you should just let her go.
- It's for her sake. - You're not meant to be.
You two are not meant to be together.
If you truly love her, just let her go.
Don't even think about it.
Sae Ho, come back when we find your friends.
When you're not sure if you should let her go,
- Hi, my friends. - just let her go.
(I'll see you again at the 20th anniversary.)
- I'm recording the show. - All right.
Next up is Na Ra.
- Na Ra. - Let's see her item.
- It's fried chicken. - Fried chicken.
(Na Ra's memorable item is fried chicken.)
Why is there fried chicken in there?
Something very sad happened because of fried chicken.
When I was a trainee, I had to keep my figure.
- I couldn't eat night snacks. - I see.
One day, my group members and I...
planned to eat night snacks...
as we hadn't eaten any for a long time.
After the training, some of us went to see our manager.
They talked about their concerns.
- They even cried. - They were distracting him.
They were putting on an act.
They faked crying to eat fried chicken?
- Were they stalling him? - Yes.
Meanwhile, the rest of us...
bought fried chicken and sneaked into our room.
- We turned off the light too. - You prepared to eat?
Yes, we prepared everything.
We lit a candle and started eating.
With a candle in the center,
six of us were eating together.
Someone's hair caught on fire.
That's unbelievable.
- Her hair burnt off. - I feel sorry for her.
This much of her hair burnt off.
As we were eating in a rush...
- You must've been nervous too. - That's right.
We were worried and nervous while eating.
We all had indigestion.
- You were afraid you might get caught. - Yes.
Instead of going for our training session next day,
we all had to go see a doctor.
I felt really sad then.
You eat fried chicken even at the year end, right?
Of course, we do.
- You eat fried chicken, right? - Of course, we do.
He asked the wrong question.
- He made a mistake. - Just read the prompter.
He made a mistake,
but Na Ra answered his question.
Just read the prompter.
His question was weird.
- Exactly. - "You eat fried chicken at the year end?"
(Myung Soo's question needs to be translated.)
- He didn't want us to ask that. - I didn't get it.
I'm sorry. As we have many hosts,
- it's hard to get much air time. - I know.
I heard you always eat fried chicken at the year end.
He stole Myung Soo's line.
- It was perfect timing. - Please tell us.
For most of the idol singers,
- the year end is the busiest time. - That's right.
But we haven't attended any awards ceremony yet.
- Is that true? - Yes.
- It's been six years since our debut, - Is it true?
- but we haven't attended any yet. - Really?
Every year, we practice like any other days,
and then we order fried chicken at night...
- while watching the awards ceremonies. - Goodness.
We talk about good things...
about the girl groups at the ceremonies.
We imagine things that could happen.
We talk about what we would wear.
We decide on the color and style of our outfits.
We talk about things like that.
We feel sad at some point.
We cry together and cheer each other up.
It makes me a little bit sad.
- Some girl groups are invited... - Right.
even though they debuted in the same year as us.
Which group debuted in the same year?
- AOA. - I see.
They debuted around the time we debuted.
Considering our image and song style,
I think our time hasn't come yet.
- Just not yet. - It will come soon.
- I'm sure it will. - Me too.
- I hope her group will attend... - They will.
this year's awards ceremonies. Let's clap for her.
(We hope Hellovenus will be there too.)
(Next week)
Stop your nonsense.
(They will be even funnier.)
I'm sure...
that I will become the topic of gossip.
("Hold Back Your Laugh" will return.)
Sang Ho looks like Choiza.
Choiza.
Is there another bald man?
"Is there another bald man?"
Ordinary people would...
(You might fall into the tub while laughing.)
(Help me.)
- My goodness. - What's wrong with him?
I did it wishing this show will be a big hit.
(May Happy Together be a big hit.)
We conducted a survey on old programs to watch again.
"The Metal Tray Karaoke" was ranked first.
- Really? - Among all of the old shows.
These people have never appeared on...
"The Metal Tray Karaoke" before.
(It's the best part of the special trilogy.)
(This is "The Metal Tray Karaoke".)
- What's going on? - It startled me.
It really hurts.
I didn't know everyone would get hit.
Of course, everyone gets hit.
I thought it would hit her only.
- We all get hit. - It hurts.
