- Hello. - Hello.
Please welcome our special guests.
Jee Seokjin, Jo Yeojeong,
Clara, Park Giryang, and Jang Suwon.
Today's line-up looks pretty amazing.
It's an odd group though.
Giryang, Yeojeong, and Clara.
- It makes sense why these three are here. - Yes.
But I don't see why Suwon and Seokjin are here.
Seokjin... I know why Suwon's here.
- Why? - He's here as a robot.
- A cyborg. - "Are you okay?"
"Are you hurt?"
"Were you very scared?"
We got to hear the original.
"Were you very scared?"
What's today's show about?
Carbon Copies, would you tell us?
Carbon Copies.
Hello, we are the Carbon Copies.
We're here to introduce five people who can say
- they're the best in their fields. - Exactly.
We'll introduce them with some lively music.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Ya, ya, ya, I really am popular
He is surprisingly popular overseas, Jee Seokjin.
- That's embarrassing. - Five, six, seven, eight.
Ya, ya, ya, I have a nice figure
The best figure in the industry, Jo Yeojeong.
Ya, ya, ya, I have a pretty face
The best looks acknowledged by the world, Clara.
Ya, ya, ya, I can dance
The best cheerleader, Park Giryang.
Ya, ya, ya, so what's wrong with my acting?
"Are you okay?"
The best robotic acting in the world, Jang Suwon.
Thank you, Carbon Copies.
- Your lines are getting shorter. - This will air.
- Nice. - Short songs have a higher chance of airing.
He's a Hallyu star?
We just introduced Seokjin, but today's show
is about those who are the best in their fields.
- He's the best Hallyu star? - No...
That was last week's show.
I think they meant to invite me as the oldest guy.
I believe the Seokjin we know and
- the Seokjin you know are different. - How so?
Everything is global now.
- She asked, "How so?" - I'm sorry.
They believe they're the best in their fields,
but they doubt Seokjin's a Hallyu star.
- You need to open your eyes now. - I see.
- There are other countries. - Just last week,
you performed in Singapore, didn't you?
- Where were you the week before? - Malaysia.
You're don't host many shows in Korea,
- but abroad... - It's a bit odd.
He only hosts "Running Man" in Korea,
but he gets more work abroad.
"Running Man" is all he does.
I saw his fans meet him on TV in China when I went.
- He even shot a promotional film. - No way.
- That's nonsense. - "Jee Seokjin in Singapore."
- He came on saying "Hi!" - No way.
- Would I lie on TV? - It aired in Singapore?
Yes, I saw the commercial in Singapore.
He's a Hallyu star as well.
We'll find out a little later
if Seokjin really is as popular as he says he is.
We'll see proof of his fame.
Seokjin said he's the best Hallyu star.
- Yeojeong has the best figure. - That's right.
- We all know she does. - I saw the film.
- Do you agree? - You work out a lot.
- You exercise. - Part of it is genetics
- but it's effort, too. - Hard work pays.
I work on it because I wasn't born with it.
I saw her exercise and her back muscles
- were so defined. - Really?
You gave detailed information about my muscles.
- She is very fit. - So Yeojeong's here...
for having the best figure.
We'll learn how she stays in shape later.
Clara is here for best looks.
- You must be pleased. - There was a worldwide poll.
- You were ranked second? - I was ranked second.
- Congratulations. - Really?
Who was ranked first?
- A famous model I don't know. - I see.
Didn't you beat some famous film stars?
- Like who? - There was Angelina Jolie.
- Really? - Who else?
- You remembered the names. - Scarlett Johansson.
Because they're world-famous celebrities.
- You beat Scarlett Johansson? - Yes.
- Really? - You're quietly bragging about it.
We made this woman a star.
"Happy Together" made Giryang a star.
Hello.
She was well-known even before she was on our show,
but she became the most searched-for name that week.
- It was huge. - Was it?
How huge was it?
No one knew I was going to be on "Happy Together"
so I got so many calls afterwards.
- My dad said he spent a lot. - To treat his friends?
- His friends wanted to celebrate. - After the show?
- We made you take off your makeup. - Right.
She couldn't talk well then, but she's great today.
Her gold ring is a symbol of her success.
Yes, the gold ring. That's great.
I believe she'll dance for us a bit later.
- He's here at last. - Finally.
He's the talk of the town.
He's the best robotic actor.
It's not just acting, it's robotic acting.
It's a whole new genre.
He created robotic acting.
No one even comes close.
What do people say about your acting?
- They didn't like it at first. - Even his speech...
"You have a 20-year career."
- "How could you be so bad?" - And?
"Even I can probably do better than that."
But now people seem to like it.
- They laugh and go "Are you okay?" - "Are you okay?"
He says it on the spot whenever we ask him to.
- He talks exactly like he acts. - He does.
Yeojeong, have you heard about
- Suwon's robotic acting? - Did you see it?
- You saw it. - No, I only heard about it.
All right, ladies.
Some of you saw it, some of you didn't.
- It's fantastic. - Let's watch some footage.
Will you watch where you're...
Are you hurt?
- Are you okay? - "Are you okay?"
What?
- Yes. - Were you very scared?
I'm sorry.
I went to your apartment the day you stood me up.
I saw a man carry you inside.
And you lie?
- I can see you think. - He...
- It's a misunderstanding. - Yura's a good actor.
- He's just a friend. - She looks too emotional.
He helped me get home because I was drunk.
You said you fell asleep writing a research paper.
- A kiss? - Look at their lips.
Their lips didn't meet.
- He kissed her chin. - I think it's her chin.
- You couldn't even do that? - How awkward.
- That's all we get to see? - I love it.
Your robotic acting...
That was just a glimpse of your best scenes.
What's this about people feeling betrayed?
They feel betrayed because I improved.
"Remember your early days and never change."
Remember your early days and never change?
- You can't fake bad acting, though. - Exactly.
- That shows right away. - What do you do?
You must have some kind of know-how.
- Do you just act? - When there are many cameras
and many strangers, I feel anxious and impatient.
I breathe fast and can't stop thinking about my lines.
- That's how... - You feel rushed.
- That's it. - I feel rushed.
You're sensitive.
But like Seokjin said earlier,
Yura did very well in that drama,
but because of Suwon, it looks like she tried too hard.
She should've stood out
but she looked way too emotional instead.
What are you doing?
- Jump. - Jump.
Seokjin, do you shake hands with your wife?
- You should hug her. - I do it subconsciously.
- I had no idea. - Do you do it out of habit?
- I found out when she told me. - What do you do?
"See you, bye," then...
- Really? - You shake hands with your wife?
I had no idea I did that.
- You could pat her like this. - No touching?
I do that and say "See you later."
- Like a business partner? - She complained about it.
"Am I your coworker?"
- Do you feel awkward around her? - Not anymore.
- For how long, then? - It was the first two months.
- She was away. - It was after she returned to Korea?
She was away for over two years.
I felt awkward around her at first.
- Did she feel like a total stranger? - Yes.
She told me to leave when she needed to get changed.
- Did she act that way before? - No, we were married.
You should've refused and stayed in the room.
I actually wanted to leave, too.
- I felt awkward around her. - Watch what you say.
I'm being honest. Now, well...
- You're fine? - We're very close.
- We... - "Very close"...
I heard you two fought over a username for a game.
What was your username?
It wasn't the username. I was living alone then.
It happened five years ago.
- I lived alone. - Your wife was abroad.
I couldn't hang out with my friends every day.
I needed to find something to do at home.
They're thinking, "Husbands like him exist?"
Let's hear him out.
So I ended up playing online games.
- You love that. - I enjoy all kinds.
Fishing games, card games, Chinese card games...
- We all love them. - It's fun.
So I played them every day until I became addicted.
I couldn't stop thinking about them
- like the sound effects. - I know what you mean.
"Three go" and sounds like that.
So, I started buying avatars.
- That's bad. - You can buy them at five dollars.
That got me a few thousand dollars of gaming cash.
I should've stopped there, but I played some big games.
I lost everything immediately,
so I needed to shop again.
I thought spending dozens of dollars continuously
was a waste of money.
- I saw ads of partner sites on the side. - Really?
If I registered with any of them, I got gaming cash.
- If you register? - That's true.
- Register with a travel agency... - That's right.
and get cash.
So I kept registering with those affiliated sites
and ended up with a virtual girlfriend
when I'd registered with a website.
- I didn't know. - Of course.
- Virtual girlfriends. - They exist.
The virtual girlfriend asks you to buy stuff for her.
- She might ask for a bag. - The virtual girl does?
- I had to log on every day to nurture her. - Really?
I just registered with the website to get gaming cash.
I just logged in and picked an avatar.
I had a carton of chocolate milk beside me
so I named her Choco.
I didn't think much of it.
- I see. - That was it.
But then Choco started sending me texts.
- I didn't expect that. - Your virtual girlfriend?
Just when my wife had come home for the holidays,
- Choco texted me. - To say what?
"Honey, I made jjajangmyeon. Come over."
- That's insane. - Wow.
- Right? - Yes.
My wife read it.
- That would infuriate any woman. - Of course.
And her name was Choco, of all things.
- It sounded like a secret code name. - It does.
She asked, "Who's Choco?"
The thing was that I'd forgotten who Choco was.
I'd registered so long ago by then.
I'd just named her after a carton of milk.
I'd forgotten she even existed.
I said, "Who's that?"
- It sounds like someone in her 20s. - Right.
When you reacted that way, your wife got suspicious.
I was flustered because I couldn't remember
someone who'd cook jjajangmyeon for me.
I was so confused.
He loves jjajangmyeon, too.
- What then? - She asked me, "Who is she?"
She asked quietly at first.
- "Who is she?" - She asked you in a serious tone.
- You said you didn't know. - "I really don't know."
- My wife changed then. - She thought you lied.
She's like a Transformer.
- She looked at me angrily. - You were in trouble.
We started shouting at each other.
I was being falsely accused if you think about it.
- Of course. - I tracked down this Choco.
I remembered who Choco was.
"Oh, right, I named her after some milk."
- So I called my wife over. - What did you say?
"I'll introduce you to Choco."
I hadn't seen her in two months by that time.
- Your cyber girlfriend. - It had been a long break.
- How was she doing? - She was doing very well.
She had a huge face and a slim body.
Both of her eyes were the size of an apple.
She had made a bowl of jjajangmyeon.
She was holding it up and trying to feed it to me.
I told my wife, "See? This is Choco."
- "Honey, honey." - You got it, right?
She'd typed that she wanted a new bag.
- We worked it out. - What would you have done?
- Yeojeong, what about you? - Say you were married.
I'd ask my husband who Choco is.
Wouldn't you be furious?
You were abroad for three years
and your boyfriend did this.
- I don't think I'd believe his explanation. - Right.
Even if you saw her?
I would be dumbfounded by his actions.
- Would you? - "Why would you even play this game?"
- You'd get angry again? - "What were you thinking?"
You'd feel embarrassed yourself.
Men get childish the older they get.
He has me so why would he want a virtual girlfriend?
- I'd feel pity. - Would you feel that way?
We were apart for so long.
I'd take it to mean he was lonely and missed me.
Yeojeong said pity, Clara said anger,
- and Giryang said anger, too. - And dumfounded.
- Yeojeong and Clara shot a film together. - Really?
- We did. - Really?
It's unexpected, right?
- You're the two leads? - Yes.
- Wow. - It's a long-awaited movie about women.
That's right.
Can you tell us about your roles?
I'm a very successful businesswoman.
She's a professional in her field.
We're both career women.
- You walk? - We work.
We work in very different fields,
but we become business partners.
A lot of problems and shenanigans ensue.
Wasn't that a spoiler?
When actresses work together,
they usually engage in a war of nerves.
Yeojeong, you said Clara was so energetic that...
- you felt uncomfortable? - I wasn't uncomfortable.
She helped me because after staying up all night.
- You were exhausted? - I'd just sit and doze off.
I've never seen Clara doze off
even when we'd both stayed up late.
She's always lively and smiling.
So thanks to her, I...
This is what actresses usually say in private.
"I just hate her."
"She's always smiling."
"It's so annoying."
- "How dare she." - "How dare she."
- "She's so annoying." - "What does that make me?"
- "I look bad." - "I look bad."
"Is she on something?" They say other stuff like that.
"I look bad because I'm always asleep."
You said it perfectly. This is what we wanted to hear.
- That came out so smoothly. - It was so natural.
I had no idea you felt this way.
Giryang, after being on our show,
- you gave your parents some pocket money? - I did.
Weren't you famous enough to give them money before?
You made a living.
Until then, I honestly didn't have any extra income.
- I only did cheerleading. - It was just enough.
I couldn't even pay my credit card bill
- so I had to borrow from my dad. - Really?
After being on "Happy Together", I was lucky enough
to shoot a soju commercial.
- Only pretty celebrities shoot them. - Famous stars.
- You were lucky. - I'm jealous of you.
How much did you give your parents?
I gave 1,000 dollars each to my grandma, mom, and dad.
- You spent a lot. - I bought them bags, too.
- You're a good girl. - I might've spent too much.
- I can't do that anymore. - You shot a commercial.
- You're right. - You gave them the right amount.
You need to train your parents well.
- What did you say? - They'll expect too much.
- You can't give them less. - They expect more.
If you give them less, they'll wonder if you're poor.
Once I wired them the cash and bought them bags,
they bragged about it to everyone.
Now I have nothing to give them.
- But my grandma is saying she is cold - These days.
and she needs a winter jacket.
Don't you think
you will get another job after the show again?
- Do you have any hopes? - My parents do.
Her parents will be very happy when this airs.
Grandma will get her winter jacket.
Suwon, do you give your parents some money?
Since your acting debut...
- I did shoot a few commercials. - How about robots?
You do lots of variety shows too.
I'd had a long hiatus until I got finally stable.
- I had expenses that... - You had to pay your debt?
- I was paying the debt with my card. - I see.
- That's sad to hear. - Let's talk about your acting.
Didn't the director comment on your acting at all?
- He did during rehearsal. - What did he say?
"I want you to raise your tone."
"Show a little more emotion."
That's about all he said so I thought
I didn't do too badly.
- He wasn't too critical. - I see.
During the shoot, I acted like I did during rehearsal.
The atmosphere ended up a bit like this right now.
So instead of, "Cut, great, next scene," it was...
The director seemed very concerned.
I thought he'd given up on me since the rehearsal.
- That's what I thought. - You made many mistakes?
I didn't make many mistakes.
I'd memorized all my lines perfectly
- but I just said them like a rap. - Without emotion.
I lacked emotion.
Now I see how the director felt.
- You can't scold someone who tries hard. - Right.
- He knew his lines. - He wasn't messing around.
Did Yura say anything?
She was in a sitcom before we filmed that episode.
She has some acting experience so she said,
"Talk to me like you really mean it."
So she could bring out her emotions.
She gave me a lot of advice.
- Though you did your best. - She asked for more.
When did you last see the director?
It was when we shot that episode, so over a year ago.
If the director hadn't cast you in that role,
we would never have seen your robotic acting.
- We owe him. - We do.
Did he direct anything since then?
I thought he was still working on dramas
but I heard he was transferred to another department.
- It wasn't your fault. - It's not your fault.
- So... - It can't be.
- It can't be that. - Is it my fault he's exiled?
- It can't be. - It shouldn't be.
We actually interviewed him.
- Seriously? - Are you shocked?
- Really? - Did you expect that?
"Are you okay?"
- I'm just surprised. - Are you?
We... I can't wait to hear about this.
He sounds like Kusanagi Tsuyoshi.
I bet he never imagined he'd give an interview
over something like this.
Let's hear what the director has to say.
- He looks exhausted. - And stressed.
I thought the awkwardness wouldn't be a problem.
He'd let his guard down.
I can honestly say that it worried me.
I like to take full shots,
especially those shots with a lonesome feeling.
There was a scene where we took a full shot
of his back as he stood still.
I told him to stand still and look into the distance
and directed the full shot.
Even that was awkward.
- He tried too hard. - That's hard to mess up.
- Suwon. - He's a "cherished actor."
- I'm glad you are doing great. - What a nice guy.
As someone who's worked with you, I'm proud.
I'm currently working on a web-drama.
You've proven yourself to be the best robotic actor.
Would you like to join me and open up a new horizon?
This is it.
It's Yura.
Hello, Suwon.
I'm Yura from Girl's Day.
During rehearsal...
- He just read his lines. - She was worried.
I thought it would change once we started acting.
So did everyone else.
That footage was featured on many shows.
Thank you.
So many people seem to love you more now,
and that's great.
I'll always cheer you on. Good luck.
Congratulations.
The director...
He looked pretty dazed in that interview.
- That web-drama offer... - For robotic acting.
I owe him my current success.
If he really needs me, I'm up for it.
He might cast you as an actual robot...
- in a sci-fi film like "I, Robot". - I can act
as a robot without the costume.
g.o.d reunited recently and held a concert.
Sechs Kies must get a lot of requests to do the same.
- I think it should be for the fans. - Absolutely.
For fun as they look back on the good times.
Some are saying that g.o.d's album shot to No. 1...
and 20,000 came to their concert.
- But if we reunite... - And that doesn't happen
It doesn't mean we beat g.o.d if we have 30,000 fans.
- That's not how it works. - Of course.
- But the others want... - You've different thoughts.
We've slightly different thoughts about it.
What are the other Sechs Kies members doing these days?
- Eun Jiwon is on TV a lot. - He's quite busy.
Jaeduck is training future singers with Tony An.
And Jaejin...
is a nanny for YG's children.
He is in college... He loves art.
He's a nanny?
- He babysits his niece and nephew? - I'm drooling.
Jaejin is YG's brother-in-law, right?
YG pays for his tuition.
So he has to pay his debts.
YG pays his tuition, so...
- He's paying his dues. - He has to.
"Where are you?", "Heading to Jeju island.", "Why?"
"I'm going to watch the kids."
He went to babysit them on their vacation.
- Who else is there? - Jiyong...
- What's he doing now? - He's in the energy business.
- He helps buses save fuel. - He runs a business?
He runs a fuel and energy-saving company.
- He's into green energy. - That's great.
- He's talking about Go Jiyong? - That's right.
We invited Seokjin as a Hallyu star
- but no one... - Stop saying that.
- It's embarrassing. - Still...
- That's today's topic. - You are a Hallyu star.
It's "Running Man" that's popular, not me.
He got very upset once.
He has a son, Hyeonu who is in elementary school.
Hyeonu played the "Running Man" game at home.
Three years ago, my son played it with his friends.
I looked at his back to see whose name he had on.
It said "Kim Jongkook".
He's a fan of Jongkook.
I'm his dad yet he didn't pick my name.
- I was upset. - I'm sure you were.
- It is. - I understand.
None of his friends had chosen my name.
How popular are you when you go abroad?
- Can we... - I can't say so myself.
- How about some proof? - Let's see some footage.
- Look at the crowd. - Were they there to meet you?
- You look cool. - You're wearing sunglasses.
Thank you for supporting me. I'll work harder.
That's incredible.
- Is that a autograph signing event? - Yes, it is.
You're shaking hands.
It's too embarrassing for me to watch.
I shook hands there, too.
- You had a press conference too. - Yes.
Where was this?
It was a press conference for the media.
- There were quite a few reporters. - That's cool.
That's what you guys do.
I go around saying that we're very lucky.
We put together the bits with Seokjin in them.
- I see what you mean. - He's right.
- I see. - It's our footage from the fan meet up.
Our "Running Man" members attended the meet up.
- We were at a performing arts center. - Okay.
- Did you sing? - I did.
- He was a singer. - That's just me saying hi.
- Look at the crowd. - It's huge.
It was a three-story building.
- Wow. - It looks like a concert.
That's me singing.
You are my destiny
I got goose bumps.
You're like the Leon Lai of Singapore.
- You look so relaxed. - You did pretty well.
That's how we started the fan meet up. I sang a bit.
- He always wears sunglasses. - You're a Hallyu star.
Thank you, Singapore.
- You looked cool. - There's more to this.
After we return from an overseas promotional event...
Kwangsoo said something when we arrived at the airport.
No one cares about us when we return to Korea.
- The airport's quiet. - "Seokjin, where's everyone?"
I asked, "Who?" He said, "The fans and reporters."
"Get a grip. We're going back to our normal life."
"I have to sort out the garbage as soon as I get home."
"I go back to my normal life."
- They act like international stars. - We do.
Then they go home and do chores.
- Kwangsoo goes to his rented house. - And I recycle.
You do "Troublemaker" with Kwangsoo.
We wanted to do something for the fans.
So we practiced "Troublemaker".
- I was Hyeonseung and Kwangsoo was Hyunah. - Okay.
Isn't he too tall for that?
- Shinyoung, you can sing her part, right? - She can.
- I performed it before. - You did.
- Do we get to see him sing? - How about it?
I've never seen him perform it.
- Go all out. - I've never seen it.
Can you handle me?
- Go for it. - Can I really?
- He has slim legs. - They're nicer than women's.
Seokjin wants to have really thin legs.
A man's legs...
Gosh...
He just goes for it.
What's that?
- Oh dear. - I can't watch this.
Well done.
That's it.
They are troublemakers.
It was almost like you were acting.
Full of trouble, weren't we?
It looked like you were twirling a statue.
He was twirling a statue?
- Yeojeong, what was so funny? - Did you like it?
Are you laughing at the statue comment.
I can perform even if the woman can't dance.
You looked like you were moving furniture.
Dance with Yeojeong, then.
- I can dance with anyone. - Yeojeong.
Please, dance with him?
- I can't dance. - Just stand still.
- Just stay still. - You just have to stay still.
- I don't know the moves. - You don't have to.
- Just leave it all to me. - You can do this?
With Yeojeong standing still?
- When I say "go", just do this. - Just this?
Let's have a look.
Yeojeong and Seokjin's "Troublemaker".
Now, now. Now!
What are you doing?
What was all that about?
- What was that? - What are you doing?
It's all...
What did you just do to Yeojeong?
- She's so frail... - Giryang, do you know the moves?
- I don't remember... - Just stand still.
Gosh. Oh, those sunglasses...
- What are they for? - They boost his confidence.
- Do they? - To about three times the usual level.
I'm used to dancing in the dark with my sunglasses on.
Music, please.
He's dancing is the same even with the sunglasses on.
Turn around, right now!
Turn around.
She knows the moves.
- Hit him. - Hit him.
What are you doing?
- You... - Call the police.
What did you do to a cheerleading legend?
I did what I had to.
What were you smelling when she stretched out her arm?
He kept doing this motion over and over.
Yes, that's all he really did.
Seokjin, you danced a bit for us just now
but when you're in front of a crowd of fans,
you do things you wouldn't dare do anywhere else.
- I did something that still makes me cringe. - What?
"I say 'thank you', you say 'I love you'."
Thank you, I love you. Thank you, I love you.
Some fans still say your name wrong.
- "Jee Seokjin" is a foreign name to them. - Yes.
They hold up signs.
"I love you, Jee Seokjin."
- You're Seokjin? - My nickname is Wangko.
They put "Wonkeo."
- It's understandable. - Who's the most popular?
- I'd say it's Kwangsoo. - That's right.
- He's the Asian Prince. - Is he?
How popular is he?
I think his SNS account has three million followers.
- He's popular. - But he still pays monthly rent.
If the atmosphere gets really wild,
- he can't control himself. - What does he do?
We have bodyguards because it gets dangerous.
- He pushes them through. - He joins the crowd?
He goes up to the fans and shakes their hands.
He once went up to the second floor.
- He did? - The rest of us were on stage below.
The fans didn't care about us.
- Do they know he pays rent? - Just the down payment.
I believe it's both.
- To reduce the rent. - Can I ask the rest of you?
Yeojeong, when you meet your fans,
what do you do for them?
- I don't have a fan club. - That's impossible.
I've never gotten to meet my fans.
- I understand going back to my normal life. - Right?
- I have to do household chores. - Really?
I recently won an award for my acting.
It was the award that I'd always wanted.
It was a special day for me,
but my life was just the same as before.
- Of course. - I still have to do the dishes.
I still have to worry about cleaning the house.
"Do I have bananas for tomorrow's breakfast?"
- What he said is very true. - It's true.
- Full makeup and dresses. - You expect a party
and flutes of champagne and everything,
and a lovely bed with silk bedcovers.
- And gold feathers. - The carriage was a pumpkin.
I do the dishes with my trophy beside me.
- That's it. - You do the dishes and mop the floor.
Clara, what do you do for your fans?
How do you act around them?
I take photos together or sign the autograph and stuff.
I love to shake people's hands.
When I'm filming a movie or a drama,
I close myself off from the world in a way.
When I'm in full makeup and costume,
I say it's to reserve my energy for later
but it's just an excuse to doze off in a corner.
I'm passed out most of the time.
She's great with the fans. She takes photos with them
- and promotes our film. - I'm very active.
I sit in a dark corner thinking, "Good girl."
- "Good girl." - Then you get annoyed about it.
"What's her problem?"
- "How annoying." - "She makes me look bad."
What about you, Giryang?
You meet a lot of fans at sports games.
- I'm a bit like Clara. - Are you?
When I notice fans hesitating to approach me,
I ask if they want to take a photo with me.
I approach fans who seem hesitant.
What if you did and they said, "No, thanks"?
- That happens. - It's embarrassing.
- It happened to both of them. - This happened to me.
"Can we take a photo?" and they gave us the camera.
- That's right. - They want us to take their photo.
We know you appreciate your fans
and as you said, they're usually well-mannered.
Have you had any weird fans?
I was much younger, 18 or 19 at the time.
We were on the stage preparing to cheer
when a man tried to carry me on his shoulders.
- We were facing the crowd... - On his shoulders?
- He pushed his head between my legs. - No way.
- I was young at the time. - How rude.
I couldn't breathe for about five seconds.
- Did you stay on? - I didn't.
I got out of the way and burst out crying.
- I couldn't breathe and I cried. - You were shocked.
- He just put head like that? - How about choking?
Or you just hit him on his forehead.
I canceled that event and went home.
Yeojeong, how would you deal with such a fan?
- No one did that to me. - No one was that forceful?
- You're not easy to approach. - You're too quiet.
I once had to travel to another city to promote a film.
We traveled in a rented bus with bodyguards.
I was the lead actress and there were no famous actors.
The bodyguards were so forceful when no one even cared.
There was no crowd?
People went, "Hey, it's her" but did nothing else.
- The bodyguards kept doing this. - To protect you.
I ended up saying, "You can stop doing that."
- I bet that Suwon... - During his Sechs Kies days.
- You must have many stories. - You were so popular.
You had fans everywhere.
Hundreds of them camped outside our homes.
- Hundreds? - They still do, right?
- I saw them earlier. - These days about a few dozen?
- A few dozen fans? - They brought us lunch today.
- They gave us food. - They prepared it for us.
- Did they? - Thank you so much.
They wanted to show that Sechs Kies is still popular.
It can't be easy for them.
"It can't be easy for them."
Sechs Kies had six members, which was a lot.
We didn't have our own manager.
There were three managers for two of us.
At the time, we had aggressive fans.
If we wore a cap, they wanted it.
- Or they tried to touch us. - They adored you.
Well, a fan once grabbed someone's crucial body part
and held it like it was hers.
- She didn't let go. - Seriously?
- They were just... - "Like it was hers?"
Without looking, she grabbed at anything within reach.
In self defense, he elbowed her in the face.
She screamed and fell backwards.
30 to 40 taxis followed you in those days?
Say I had some personal business to attend to.
If the manager was busy and couldn't come with me,
I hailed a taxi and the fans followed me.
They all hailed taxis and waited inside them.
Once I got into a taxi and it drove off,
- they'd all follow mine. - All at once?
How many of them?
- It was around 30 or 40. - Like some convoy?
- How many follow you now? - That many cabs?
- They don't follow if I tell them not to. - I see.
- In cars? - They know better now.
They know when I'm heading home.
Because I reply to their texts.
They know they don't have to be so frantic.
"We don't need to follow him around enthusiastically."
- "He has a lot of free time." - "He'll be at home."
I'm not sure if you can do this alone but
- can you dance "Form Seng Form Sa"? - I loved it.
- Dance with you? - Saeho, why don't you?
- I did Sechs Kies dances as a kid. - Go ahead.
Suwon and Saeho will dance for us.
Music, please.
He still has it.
Jump!
- Jump! - Jump!
- He remembers the moves. - He's good.
Let's give them a round of applause.
- I loved it when he yelled "jump". - Yes, "jump".
- "Jump." - That was fun.
- It brought back memories. - Hasn't it been a while?
- I haven't danced since we retired. - Absolutely.
- It's the only one I remember the moves to. - Is it?
Let's go back to Yeojeong again.
You take good care of your figure.
I didn't start Pilates to lose weight.
My neck was sore, and I wanted to relieve it.
We all have sore necks or shoulders.
I had problems so I did Pilates for a year and a half,
and it indirectly improved my figure.
- Pilates did? - That's right.
We have a footage of Yeojeong working out.
- Should we take a look? - Should we?
- It all takes effort. - You didn't wear makeup?
- Look at those muscles. - I want those back muscles.
I look like a man.
My goodness.
- You have defined muscles. - Look.
- You look masculine. - Oh dear.
- Look at those arm muscles. - Wow.
- You look amazing. - You look like Angelina Jolie.
Even I think you look great.
Pilates is fascinating because...
I started it to treat aches and ended up getting abs.
Do you have abs?
I didn't think it would happen, but I have muscles.
I can't show them to you, though.
Focus the energy to the crown of your head.
All that regular exercise...
- I can't do that. - That's Pilates?
Drop just your right arm down by the shoulder.
Breathe in.
Breathe out as you raise your right arm.
Drop your left arm and follow with your eyes.
This exercise builds the muscles on your sides.
Because I have weak neck muscles,
the instructor made me raise my arms.
That tenses the shoulder muscles in the back.
- Thanks for watching my video. - You look great.
That was my secret.
- You look awesome. - You look great.
- She really is an actress. - You look amazing.
- You could do action movies. - I'm not sure...
- We're all jealous of you. - You look amazing.
I'm jealous of your figure.
- Women want your figure. - You aren't masculine.
- Don't you worry. - I tried Pilates, too.
They treated me like a patient.
I wondered why I didn't get muscles like you
but the level of workout is totally different.
Do you usually take the stairs?
I go to Pilates class once a week.
The rest of the week, I go jogging.
- I try to do anything for 30 minutes. - A day?
I work out hard enough that I want to cry after.
- It's that serious? - I jog.
On days I can't jog...
I realized one day that stairs are like hiking trails.
- What floor do you live on? - On the 24th floor.
You take the stairs to your floor?
I run up really fast, two steps at a time.
If I do that to music, it takes me about three minutes.
- You go really fast, then. - Two steps at a time.
I take the elevator down to protect my knees.
I do that three times in a row.
Do you do it three times in one go?
I rest while I take the elevator down.
That's when you relax.
Giryang, you're the captain of your team.
- I'm the captain. - Right?
Don't you have to exercise regularly?
- To cheer. - Cheerleading itself is a workout.
We practice a lot in our spare time.
- She's too thin. - She is.
- You lost weight since we last saw you? - Did you?
I did lose some.
We practice a lot more lately
and I'm training the new recruits.
My body fat count is below 10.
- Really? - It is nine-something.
- Nine-something? - Yes.
I have abs like a man's.
- Really? - You have a six-pack?
I can see the lines.
My fans call them "smiley abs" or "seagull abs".
- Some of your outfits show your abs. - That's right.
That's why they see just the top.
- That's a huge workout. - She jumps all the time.
Nine percent body fat is almost... Wow.
She's jumping all the time.
Clara, we mentioned this earlier.
You're the world's second most beautiful woman.
She's always been pretty.
Don't you put in a lot of effort to look good?
I exercise, look after myself, and have fun.
I really enjoy doing that.
- You look nicer without makeup. - Thank you.
- She's beautiful without wearing makeup. - She is.
- You can live off it forever. - We shot footage
of Clara's skincare routine.
- Hello, I'm Clara. - You look better without makeup.
- You weren't wearing makeup? - She doesn't need it.
- You put on lip gloss. - And I put on blemish cream.
You put on some lipstick though.
- This is my bathroom. - You look so pretty.
Cleansing oil.
Massage it in.
Using these two fingers...
- Like this? - It's stimulating.
I massage my face as I cleanse it.
- It's good for your skin. - Is it?
It's great for blood circulation.
You have to get to all the edges.
There.
I just leave it to dry naturally.
Then I spray on some mist.
- You don't dry your face? - Don't you use towels?
- I don't use them. - Why not?
It feels like the moisture gets sucked right out.
- You do it so differently. - You put on eye cream.
- We don't even cleanse. - Do you just leave it in?
I let my skin absorb it all.
We just smear soap on a rough towel and rub.
I put on a lot of cream.
You look so pretty.
- Film without makeup. - Then a good night's rest.
That's how I do my skincare.
- She knows how to look cute. - She does.
- She knows. - That's all she thinks about.
You spray mist onto your wet face without using a towel
- and put on eye cream? - That's right.
Doesn't that take about 30 minutes, then?
- It dries up pretty quickly. - Does it?
My face dries even if I don't use a towel.
- How do you do this? - Teach us that.
It's great if you do it every day.
My dermatologist taught me, and now I do it at home.
When we clean the makeup off our faces,
- we all use our fingers. - We do.
If you massage this area like this,
- it slims your chin to create a V-line. - Like this?
- Like this? - You do it upwards.
- This alone is hard. - For how long? Five minutes?
Do this 10 times and then this 10 times.
It feels great if you massage your eyebrows like this.
- It feels great. - Right here.
- This part here. - It hurts so much.
Do you use any facial masks?
I do the night before an important shoot.
- What kind do you use? - I put oil on my face first.
- You put oil on your face? - I put on facial oil.
- You use facial oil. - You put on facial oil.
- What facial mask do you use? - A green tea mask.
- I brew it in cold water. - It's too complicated.
- I'd rather drink it. - It's easy.
- Forget about these two. - We all drink green tea.
I brew a teabag in cold water.
Then I soak cotton pads in that.
I squeeze out the excess tea and put it on my face.
- For how long? 15 minutes? - 5 minutes.
- Do you eat anything special? - Milk.
Do you drink a lot?
No, I don't drink milk.
It's cheap, and you can get it anywhere.
I buy a huge carton of milk.
Then I soak some cotton pads in some milk.
It's cold milk.
I put them on my face and the rest I pour into my bath.
Bathing in milk helps get rid of dead skin cells.
Yeojeong, you have great skin, too.
- Share some tips with us. - You look very young.
What's your "4-4 law"?
My skin may look great, but it's extremely dry.
I put on four kinds of products every four hours.
- Every four hours? - I do it regularly.
- I noticed that recently. - On your face?
You can't do that if you're wearing makeup.
I have to skip those days.
If it's my day off and I'm not wearing makeup...
- Do you use something? - I carry stuff around.
I test my face with my hand and apply something.
So you never let your skin dry out too much.
- Even if I'm outdoors. - She has no wrinkles.
Let's go back to Giryang.
Weren't you voted the most beautiful cheerleader?
- Yes. - Isn't that right?
I won twice in a row.
- We should've said that. - You should've waited.
Do you earn the most out of all the cheerleaders?
In the history of cheerleading...
The history?
If we go by this year's pay alone,
- I think I did earn the most. - Congratulations.
We have a footage of her cheerleading.
It's winter, basketball season.
Where are you going?
- To take photos with fans. - You look different.
You don't look like you do now.
You have to do that before taking photos.
- Do you know who she is? - I do.
- Who is she? - Park Giryang.
- She's a real goddess. - She's beautiful.
She's Korea's number one cheerleader.
- You sit like that? - Sit and sing...
- That looks tough. - It's not easy at all.
It's during the break between quarters.
Do you cheerlead on a basketball court?
It's not like a baseball stadium.
How about we ask Giryang to dance for us.
- That's a great idea. - Show us some dance moves.
Let's go, Giryang!
Oh, she's doing EXID's dance moves.
- That dance? - It's EXID's.
Wow.
Look at her.
She's just amazing.
Suwon, Suwon.
Why are you blushing?
You're grinning a bit too much.
Her long hair accentuates each move.
- She's a great dancer. - She's amazing.
- She's perfect. - She's so good.
Take a break.
- Suwon was... - He had a big smile.
He grinned and made faces like crazy.
When she moved up and down, he went...
You're now the captain of your team,
and people acknowledge you as the best.
But weren't you a bit clueless when you first started?
Yes. If the seniors were cleaning the room,
I'd leave the room.
- That's rude. - I was too young to know better.
So instead of helping, you got out of the way
so they could clean up.
But now that I am in this position,
I can see I really deserved to be told off.
I can tell when my juniors try to slack off.
- What do you do, then? - Do you scold them?
I'm really bad at scolding others
so instead, I ask them to help me out.
I take the lead.
- You were in their position once. - That's right.
Before, when I was a member of another team,
I saw that the older members bossed the others around.
Now that I'm the leader,
I've realized it's best if I lead by example.
- So, I do it together. - You have a strategy now.
Suwon, you're cast in the follow-up drama of "Misaeng".
- Really? - That's fantastic.
That director must enjoy taking risks.
- The follow-up drama? - What's it called?
The title is "Misaengmul."
"Misaengmul"? That means "microorganism".
- Are you serious? - "Misaeng" is popular these days.
- Is it a parody? - As soon as it's over,
they'll show "Misaengmul".
- Is it an actual parody? - Is it one episode?
- It's two episodes. - What's it about?
I play Siwan's character Jang Geurae.
Popular dramas film special shows.
I quite like that idea.
With a double-episode parody of the actual drama,
you could be guaranteed a role.
I plan to stay consistently robot-like.
- Are you filming now? - We begin next week.
The director told me to watch the drama
but he also said not to analyze it.
"Don't try to improve or change your acting."
"Just watch it and do nothing more."
- So I'm enjoying it. - I'm jealous of you.
- Me, too. - You don't need to prepare a thing.
We have a footage of Suwon, too.
Shall we watch?
Is that a private class?
Hello, Coach.
- You're a star now. - It's your acting coach.
Thank you so much.
- You might hurt his reputation. - He quit teaching.
- I'm not sure if you watched "Misaeng". - "Misaeng"?
- I wanted to get your opinion. - Sure.
- Please have a look. - Okay.
Let's watch.
What?
It's not whether or not we have a contract.
It's not about that.
Then what?
I just want to work.
- You have to say that? - With you and the others.
That must be fun.
I bet it would be fun.
Why do I think that looks easy?
He was already emotional.
He was upset even before the other guy entered.
Don't take any lessons.
- It's best if you don't. - We all think the same.
We're afraid your acting will improve.
What?
It's not whether or not we have a contract.
It's not about that.
Then what?
It's not about that.
Not too bad.
- This isn't good. - I just want to work.
With you and the others.
- You got better. - Your acting improved.
- What now? - This isn't good.
Your fans will be disappointed.
When I act...
I have to keep my "Love and War" character in mind,
- but I want to be a better actor. - Of course.
- You'll miss the mark if you do well. - It's hard.
- He has to act bad but naturally. - Absolutely.
Our five guests went through a lot
to become what they are today.
We asked them to bring an item
that's so precious they can't forget about.
Let's see what Suwon brought.
- What's that? - It's a toy car?
A close friend of mine was a car dealer.
We both made investments
and split the profit he earned from selling cars.
Popular models are in demand and sell well for less
but you can make a lot by selling a expensive car.
The expensive cars?
We once got our hands on a few for a great deal.
We dreamed big but lacked the contacts to sell them.
- Sales... - We didn't sell them.
So I ended up driving one paying the leasing fee.
- Really? - Instead of keeping it in a garage.
- You enjoyed it. - How much was the car worth?
I think it was about 200,000 dollars.
I saw him in that car once.
- I thought he was rich. - I'm sure.
- But that wasn't it? - It wasn't.
I didn't want to waste it and
I had to pay the leasing fee regardless.
You couldn't sell it?
I sold it at a cheap price.
You spent so much on it.
- Were you running many businesses? - I was.
- What else did you do? - I ran a few businesses.
I did online shopping mall with my stylist.
- And what happened? - Didn't that work out?
I did that for three to four years.
We did that until I joined the army.
I was the only model, so we had to shut it down.
Then I became franchisee of a chain tteokbokki stop.
How did that go?
We closed when the headquarters went out of business.
It's hard to run a business.
So you tried a lot of things.
- Seokjin started a few businesses too. - I had many.
Didn't Kim Suyong want you to invest in one?
He's always talking about that.
He calls me saying he got a tip.
Someone he knows developed something.
When a battery dies, you replace it with a new one.
This new battery recharges when you boil it.
You boil it like an egg?
- Three minutes in boiling water... - Who'd use it?
The battery is like a ready-made meal.
It's nonsense.
He asked if I didn't like the idea.
- Did you invest in the tripe latte? - What's that?
That was a joke.
- It was the milkteque. - What's a "milkteque"?
- What's a "milkteque"? - A club serving milk.
- They serve milk? - A club for preschoolers.
- Three to five-year-olds. - It's called playschool.
- No, it's a club. - A club?
- A milkteque. - A kids club.
- For moms and kids. - With mirror balls?
Shiny mirror balls and mobiles and things.
- A club for babies? - It's a great idea.
- I like it. - I'm a dad and I'm raising a son.
There was no place he could go to dance.
- I thought of a club that serves milk. - Good idea.
It could serve things like milk or yogurt.
Moms can bring food from home.
Let's see what Giryang brought.
Park Giryang.
- It's a lunchbox. - She brought a lunchbox.
- I'm hungry. - It's a lunchbox.
I remember the first time I ended up in the ER.
The baseball and basketball season overlapped,
so I had to work every single day.
I'd cheered through a baseball game in the cold
- and was about to eat in a basketball court. - Okay.
My stomach cramped up.
When I feel indigestion, I force myself to eat more.
I ate three more mouthfuls,
but I just couldn't sit up straight.
I burst into tears because I was in so much pain.
The medics came over and took me to the ER.
I was so tired and stressed out that
my digestive organs had just shut down.
The game was supposed to begin in 90 minutes.
I told the doctors that I had to get back to work.
He told me there was one painkiller that might help,
but it could make me fall
- or disorientated. - It was that strong.
- I asked for the painkiller. - And?
I got back to work but wasn't completely myself.
- That's a will power. - I bet you danced better.
What about the other four of you?
Has anyone gotten sad or upset because of work?
Suwon, how about you?
This is the busiest I've ever been as an actor.
There is no time to feel down.
He's so manly, he has to pay the bills all the time.
He's the type of guy who loses out all the time.
If I meet seniors in the restaurant, they would pay.
- I once met Sangryeol... - Ji Sangryeol?
We met at a Japanese place and he paid without a word.
I was so grateful. And I happened to meet
G-Dragon in the restaurant early one morning.
I didn't think I had to pay for him...
- He's well off. - but I wanted to pay for his meal.
Besides, it's not like it was out of my budget.
So I paid without saying anything to him.
Did he call to thank you?
- He thanked me for paying. - He did?
- Did I go too far? - You did not.
You did well.
Myungsoo left the restaurant
when he saw staff members.
- Staff members eat a lot. - They do.
I was going up the stairs and
saw staff through the window.
I was going to pay for four guys
but they'd rented the whole hall.
- That's when I decided to leave. - How wise.
- Clara, let's see what you brought. - Okay.
Mine is... Ta-da.
This is...
Those leggings...
- Like Suwon's acting, - Your first pitch.
it changed your whole life.
- Such is life. - A touch of heaven.
- To me, yes. - If it hadn't been for that...
- Whose idea was it to wear that? - It was my idea.
- You just wore it? - It was my decision.
How did you end up throwing the first ball at the game?
I think I was very lucky.
- I was a replacement. - Were you?
I got the call just three days before.
- Who cares? - It was a great opportunity.
Many people throw the first pitch but it rarely
- makes the news. - Absolutely.
Was this a trick to get noticed?
Why did you wear leggings?
Baseball is a sport that requires energy.
I wanted to look nice and healthy.
I have an energetic, cheerful, and healthy image
and I wanted to show that.
I worked on my lower body.
I wanted to show my toned body
- so I wore leggings. - You thought everything out.
Yes, but it took effort.
After you threw the first ball in leggings,
- I went around parodying that. - I saw that.
- I wore the same leggings. - That's right.
The headline was "Bad News".
- I was so upset. - "Bad News."
It was just a parody, but people took it seriously.
I was shocked it was even parodied.
- Celebrities have tried to outdo Clara. - Yes.
- They tried new things. - Suji did acrobatics.
- She did the turn. - And Tammy did as well.
- Someone did a somersault. - That was Tammy.
What has changed since your first pitch?
Everything has changed for me.
People know my name now.
- You were in a film. - I shot a film.
- You're the leading actress. - Right.
- Pitching in leggings made you a film star. - Yes.
Did you feel different on the mound?
- I practiced on it for three days. - Did you?
Once I stood on it for real, I was so excited that
I couldn't stop myself from hopping around.
- Any financial changes? - Leggings and all that.
My income jumped tenfold.
You did have an income before, right?
Only from acting in dramas.
- I shot no commercials. - 10 times...
- Now you get invited everywhere. - That was...
You've become a celebrity.
My dream was
- to be photographed at the airport. - Airport shots?
- Airport fashion shots. - Really?
You are so cute.
I wondered how the reporters knew.
- I was curious. - Aren't you now in the news a lot?
- These days... - She's very popular.
Are there really reporters at the airport?
Yes, there are.
It was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Others would say three days is too short a notice.
- Then you wouldn't be a star now. - That's right.
What if I'd said no?
The opportunity comes to those who are ready.
Let's see what Yeojeong brought.
It's hanbok.
- I get it. - You wear it in your film.
It's that film.
For the film "The Servant",
the designer made me some lovely outfits.
- I marveled at them. - That really suits you.
These pantaloons are worn as underwear.
They're a bit revealing.
I said they were revealing but beautiful
and the designer gave this to me.
Isn't "The Servant" an unforgettable film for you?
It is.
Weren't you worried about revealing so much skin?
In his previous works, the director made
the actresses and the costumes stand out.
I had no worries whatsoever.
It's a film and it's beautiful.
That really was a courageous move.
- It changed our image of her. - That's right.
She was a child no more.
Your family saw some of nudity in the film?
- Of course. - How did you manage that?
- It's a work of art. - Art?
- Is that how they saw it? - Yes.
After that, I filmed "The Concubine".
- That was revealing, too. - After the screening,
my mom hugged me.
- It was a silent hug but I knew... - What it meant.
I felt her say, "You're an actress who's my daughter."
She says that a lot to me, too.
I'm so grateful that she said that to me
and I told the press that I thanked her for it.
But they changed the order of the words.
That changes everything.
"You're my daughter who acts."
"Don't film things like this now. You're my daughter."
That's what the reporters wrote.
- It got distorted. - They misunderstood.
- Your mother spared you with the world. - Yes.
She actually acknowledged you as an actress.
The same goes for Clara.
You take revealing photos, too.
What do your parents say?
My dad is very open-minded about it.
- He supports it. - He does?
He's lived abroad long enough to accept it.
When you were young...
- He was a member of Koreana. - He traveled a lot.
I lived in the States for seven years...
- and he only visited once. - Really?
So, I grew up missing him a lot.
I'm sure you knew he was busy but
- weren't you upset with him? - Daddy's little girl.
I was born in Switzerland...
and came to Korea when I was three years old.
I rarely lived with my parents.
It was only three years, from third to sixth grade,
that we lived together.
- Who did you stay with? - At a boarding school?
I lived with relatives for a few years at a time.
What did you do when you missed your parents?
Are you trying to make her cry?
- I think she'll cry. - I just smile.
- I see. - That's why you smile a lot.
- She's crying now. - Those memories...
- It must be painful for you. - I'm sorry, Clara.
- But now... - We didn't mean to make you cry.
- It's... - There's a reason for your cheerfulness.
- I'm glad because it made me independent. - Right.
But it's also very lonely.
Clara has this side...
Thank you, Clara. Seokjin, what did you bring?
The others brought something that
changed their lives.
I brought something that shows my determination.
Don't be so desperate.
- Not that CD. - I started off as a singer.
- "I Know." - "I Know."
Singers want to release an album, even if they flop.
I'm determined to continue my singing career.
I sang a song for the soundtrack of "My Dear Cat".
- Right, you did that. - Did he?
- How... - That's serious business.
It plays in the drama so I had to be serious about it.
Only the best singers get to sing songs on soundtracks.
I was working on a song with this composer
who got a request to write a song for the drama.
He paid a visit to the director of the soundtrack.
He asked if he knew Jee Seokjin, and he said yes.
"Would you like to hear him sing?"
"No, thanks."
He said he wasn't interested,
but the composer forced him to listen anyway.
And he said, "Wait, this is Jee Seokjin?"
He was pleasantly surprised and gave us the go-ahead.
Can you sing a bit of the song?
- What? - That song.
The drama ended.
Saying I love you
I know it, my heart tells me so
I like you
- It goes like that. - It's lovely.
- Do I fit for this song? - Yes, you do.
- Really? - It's nice.
You have a lovely voice.
It would sound great with music.
- With music... - you can sing.
We wish all of you the best.
- Suwon, your acting career... - "Misaengmul."
I think I did too well today.
I'll have to watch my "Love and War" episode again.
- We'll see you next week. Thank you. - Thank you.
