Today, we have stars who rely on good looks and sings half-heartedly.
(Looks Complete Music Special)
(The studio is looking good today.)
(Psy is here with his support.)
(I got a call three days ago.)
(I knew it two days ago.)
(They're only here to support Psy.)
(They are a combination of visually appealing musicians.)
(His life changed in a week after being on this show.)
(He sighs.)
(Everything isn't the same.)
(If you fell from here, we weren't going to invite you.)
(Do you know Psy? He's my friend.)
(People don't recognize Psy anymore. Doesn't that make you humble?)
(I never went to America. That never made me arrogant.)
(You must be busy. Your information is really off.)
(It's been five years since I've seen you. You look happy.)
(Zion. T reveals Kang Seung Yoon's secret.)
(This guy has become really funny.)
(You can expect a lot from me.)
(Where is the Billboard headquarters located?)
(I'm not sure, but shouldn't it be in America?)
(He's not sure.)
(Let's start the Looks Complete Music Special right now.)
I guarantee a program to last 10 years whenever I participate.
I, Kim Gook Jin, is known for the longevity of variety shows.
The secret of my charm is...
Becoming a celebrity for only you
And to make you laugh for a lifetime
- With my Chihuahua face. - He doesn't improve after 10 years.
I'm the only person that was never absent here at Radio Star.
During 10 years of Radio Star, I was always here to flaunt...
- my brilliant play on words. - It's a mystery.
- I want to see you - It's a mystery.
My rhyming is the talk of the town.
I make people say, "I want to see you"...
with my high-end face.
- The viewers must be surprised. - It's me, Yoon Jong Shin.
I'm not Jung Woo Sung.
Put your glasses on.
- Put your glasses on. - You're making his fans angry.
Making it to 10 years without looking at the script is a big deal.
I couldn't even if I wanted to. My eyes are bad due to old age.
(They feel bad for Jong Shin.)
My information power has...
completed Radio Star's 10 years.
My secret is being unashamed despite the amount of insult I get.
- Gook Jin and Jong Shin. - Just get a job at the station.
This is my third job today.
- I'm working hard. - This is his third job today.
It's my third job.
I'm going to sacrifice myself.
Let's be happy
- Is he in a protest? - It's a song.
(They are puzzled by Gu Ra's song.)
(What have you done to this good song?)
- Is this a song? - Let's be happy
- Let's be happy - Be happy, be happy
Let's be happy and don't be sick
- What is he doing? - What is that?
Please read your script.
1 plus 1 is Kyu Hyun.
2 plus 2 is Seung Yoon.
I'm Radio Star's cutie.
This guy is overreacting.
- That's too much. - I'm here to fill in for Kyu Hyun.
I'm cutie Seung Yoon.
I basically raised him.
(Jong Shin regards Seung Yoon as his own child.)
We aren't good-looking like Gong Yoo and Song Joong Ki.
However, we play fair with our own charming faces.
The high-end program with people of self-centered charm.
- Radio Star. - Radio Star
This is Kang Seung Yoon. He's very hot these days.
- I found him. - That's right.
In 2010.
He was YG's biggest concern.
- Was I? - People were worried about him.
- I would've trained him if I could. - He was in recession.
- You're back with "Really Really". - Yes.
He's back with that song, and he's doing really good.
He's very talented.
He's also courageous.
Thank you.
You're a bit frozen today. Don't be.
- Can you tell? - People were worried about that.
Kyu Hyun has an overseas schedule, so he couldn't make it today.
Seung Yoon is here to fill in for Kyu Hyun.
It's not that Kyu Hyun couldn't make it today.
It's not a shooting day today.
We're here because someone really asked to shoot today,
If we do good, it is because of him.
If we don't, it is also his responsibility.
That's my opinion.
I didn't know, but they scheduled it in.
- We usually don't shoot today. - We don't.
It's also the day after the election.
We moved to another studio because of the election specials.
He must be confident to ask to shoot under these bad conditions.
(He's feeling the pressure.)
Today, we're here with three handsome stars...
who rely on their good looks and sings half-heartedly.
It's the "Looks Complete Music Special".
The LCM Special.
Five years ago, when he was here to dance,
he was only known for his armpit sweat.
(His armpits are wet.)
He was here before his song became a major hit.
He's become a world-famous star.
Radio Star exported this international singer.
He did two shows before going to America.
Radio Star and "Go Show".
I was in both shows.
I'm the only person.
Are you still talking about "Go Show"?
He was trying so hard his armpits were wet with sweat.
"Jong Shin, I really need to make this happen."
He was so worried.
After a week, his life changed completely from that song.
- That happened to Psy. - He's amazing.
You can say that I raised him.
(He claims that he's responsible for their fame.)
- Jong Shin made him famous. - That's right.
The singer who made the world think that Koreans look like this.
It's Psy.
People think that Koreans all look like this.
He represents the entertainment industry with his good looks.
- We need to stop this controversy. - Is this a controversy?
Yes.
Is this logically possible?
We need to stop these kinds of noise marketing.
This is getting old. This isn't an issue anymore.
Can't you come up with some new topics?
You're being funny. You're always the same too.
Why don't you change the way how you talk?
I'm sorry. I'm self-reflecting while saying this.
He tried to capture the hearts of ladies by getting his eyes done.
He still looks like a singer from the bones though.
It's Kim Bum Soo.
It's like he's talking about bone soup.
He looks like he will make good bone soup.
- From the bones? - He's a good singer from the bones.
- This is funny. - Good from the bones.
He lines up the charts whenever he releases an album.
He's the music chart tyrant.
- He is. - These days he...
just doesn't want his bare face to become famous.
He's funny.
His sunglasses are always on. It's Zion. T.
- Yes. - Welcome.
- Welcome. - Nice to see you.
- Thank you. - You're making the studio bright.
Please note that...
Psy's armpits aren't wet now.
Let's see what will happen when the show is over.
They will change colors like this.
It won't show up much since his shirt is white.
- Yes. - I'm still dry.
(They laugh.)
We're with the three singers who rely on their looks.
Could you say hello to the viewers, starting from Psy?
Hello. I'm on Radio Star...
- after 5 years. - It's already been 5 years.
- I was here at this exact spot. - That's right.
Don't people usually perform on this stage?
I performed right here without any consideration.
- All by myself. - He was very nervous.
I was very nervous.
That was the most nervous...
horse dance that I've ever done.
That made me speed up my dance.
I'm here to say hello after five years.
I'm Psy. Nice to meet you.
Since we had a close relationship,
we asked you to come on the show 2 or 3 years ago.
You refused our request.
He was busy doing a world tour in Paris and Hong Kong.
That's what life is. We understand.
He doesn't have time to come to Sangam-dong.
The timing was perfect.
If he fell from here, we weren't going to invite him.
That's what the music business is like.
We also maintained our standards.
- If we didn't, he wouldn't be here. - That's right.
Everything fit perfectly.
What is he talking about?
(They laugh.)
Bum Soo, can you say hi to the viewers?
You asked me when was I going to stop talking about my looks.
People just made that up from the show.
Bum Soo became really handsome.
- It's okay to say that now. - He became handsome.
I was always handsome.
I'm not here for my good looks.
I got a call three days ago.
It's like that for us too.
Psy asked me.
- It's all because of Psy. - You're here because of him.
I don't get anything by being on this show.
People make fun of me.
You should have been cold to him.
- How? - Refuse him.
You could have said, "I don't want to be on the show."
I'm not in the position to refuse.
I'm here to support Psy.
That's why I'm here.
It's good to see you here today.
- That's good. - Yes.
Zion. T, please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm Zion. T.
Cultwo said that I was the most...
difficult person to interview.
I was really worried.
I didn't know that I was going to be here until two days ago.
How could you ask these trendy stars to be here only in 2, 3 days?
There must have been someone else he had in mind.
- They're his 2nd, 3rd pick. - That's my opinion.
He actually wanted IU on the show, but it didn't work.
- That was the original plan. - Is that why I'm here?
(They are his plan B.)
(I asked them to be on the show because we're friends.)
The world star has made a comeback.
Psy has returned after five years.
Five years ago, you danced the horse dance here.
After that, you became a world star against your will. Is that right?
He was on the show after a week...
"Gangnam Style" has been released.
He was nervous since people weren't reacting as much as he expected.
- He was on the show that time. - He was nervous.
- He was nervous. - Yes, that's right.
Do you believe that the success of "Gangnam Style" is because of us?
I'm really superstitious.
That's why I try to maintain my habits when something works out.
I became a big success after losing my wallet.
It's been seven years since I had a wallet.
That's important to me.
I'm trying to make exactly the same situation.
I want to make another big hit.
- Will it work? - I'm surprised.
How do you live without a wallet? Do you use cash or card?
- His managers pay. - His managers.
What if you're not with your manager?
- I'm always with my manager. - He's with his manager.
He's not like you. He can't walk the streets by himself.
- He goes in and eats by himself. - I do.
Do you have your wallet with you?
He doesn't trust his manager.
- He doesn't give his wallet. - Excuse me.
I have pictures of my father and Dong Hyun inside my wallet.
- What are you talking about? - He's so serious.
- What is this? - What is this?
Are you being a wet blanket at Radio Star?
(This is funny.)
Psy has a lot of jinxes.
We prepared the studio to be like last time.
- We have 3 guests today. - There were 3 guests.
- They prepared that. - Who was with you last time?
Lena Park and Bobby Kim was here.
Bobby and Lena made it to our list...
- What list? - for being not funny.
(Radio Star Laughter Black List)
These three guests are...
hand-picked and invited by Psy.
During his interview, he said that he could bring anyone on the show...
except Cho Yong Pil, Na Hoon A, and Seo Tai Ji.
However, he brought these two on the show.
After hearing that Psy would be on the show,
I expected that he would bring world stars such as...
Usher or Justin Bieber with him.
- What would we do with Usher? - Still.
I think Seung Yoon's trying too hard.
He's trying too hard.
- Yes, I was. I'm sorry. - I'm sorry. He had to.
- I'm sorry. - Your song is doing really good.
Relax.
- I was being greedy. - He was trying too hard.
We should accept...
- an ambition of a 24-year-old. - Please accept me.
(Seung Yoon is being raised by them.)
Are these two people your best?
- Tell us the truth. - Of course.
To tell you the truth, I never thought of anyone else.
(He's shaking.)
Of course. Picking them was like a dream to me.
Bum Soo, did you have any problems...
to be on the show?
I actually didn't give it a lot of thought.
Nobody contacted me.
I had to ask him after hearing a rumor that I would be on the show.
(Making rumors is the new way of casting.)
Since it was a...
Do you not recommend them?
- You're making this up. - He doesn't recommend them.
This is a combination of visual appealing singers.
Since a long time ago,
I was thinking that this combination was perfect for that theme.
- That's boring. - Was it like this?
Was the seat always so close?
- It was close like this. - It's the same.
- It feels closer than last time. - We're using the same setting.
You're making excuses since you feel so awkward.
(He is guilty.)
We've been the same for 10 years.
- What are you talking about? - Does it feel different to you?
It must feel small after coming back...
from touring all over the world.
The playground looks so small when...
- you go back to your old school. - That's right.
The stage is too small for him.
He's just showing off.
(He's here to attack me, not support me.)
I have something to say.
I don't know why I ended up here.
I woke up and saw an article about me being on this show.
(One was cast by rumor, the other was cast by an article.)
- You found it out from an article. - I found out that I would be here.
The article said so.
It felt like being summoned to the military.
He felt like being summoned.
Zion. T, I have a question for you.
You said that your relationship with Psy was nothing but...
just getting featured on one of his songs?
How did Psy end up recommending you to be on the show?
I worked with him on a song called "I Remember You".
You sang it for us earlier.
- That's not the song. - It isn't?
That's not the song?
- Let's be happy - Be happy
Let's be happy and don't be sick
- What is that? - What is that?
That is one of Zion. T's song.
- What is this? - What did Gu Ra sing earlier?
- "Yanghwa Bridge." - "Yanghwa Bridge."
I thought that you were singing "We Are the World".
(He thought that it was the pop song "We Are the World".)
- Yanghwa Bridge - Yanghwa Bridge
Let's be happy
- Let's be happy - We are the world
Zion. T is starting to talk better.
He's becoming funny.
(He laughs hard.)
Zion. T is on the show because Psy made him.
Do you have a goal to achieve by being on the show?
I want to work with a lot of other musicians.
However, they don't ask me a lot.
I wanted to talk about collaborations on the show.
Who would you like to work with?
I'd like to work with Jong Shin.
You didn't pick up when I called you.
I wanted to work with him about two years ago.
You're famous for not picking up the phone.
- He didn't reply my messages too. - You didn't pick up.
- Are we recording right now? - That's not what happened.
Whatever I say on Radio Star, I make it happen. You're done now.
Zico and everyone else worked with me after being on this show.
There are some misunderstandings regarding contacting me.
- Yu Hui Yeol couldn't get you too. - He's still trying.
I'm really sorry.
(He quickly acknowledges his fault.)
There is a misunderstanding...
- because I have 2 phones. - You have 2 numbers.
Is your phone on silent usually?
Yes, it's on flight mode.
- Flight mode? - You're not even on a plane.
- Flight mode. - Flight mode.
It's not a phone when it's on flight mode.
It only works when you have Wi-Fi.
(I'm happy. I really am happy.)
Even if we have the same occupation,
I'm really amazed by him.
I can't sleep more than four hours.
I wake up because I want to know what's going on in the world.
I want to know what happened today.
I even wrap my phone and take it with me in the sauna.
- I'm too curious. - It's like that for Psy.
I like Psy because...
whenever I ask, "What are you doing?",
he always replies right back like "I'm in Shanghai."
- "I'm in Shanghai." - How do you stand that?
- "I'm in Hong Kong." - Aren't you curious?
He has another phone.
It's my fault that...
- I didn't get back to them. - No, that's okay.
- I'm so sorry. - You're here today for Psy.
Why did you go on "Cultwo Show" for no reason?
I had an issue that time.
- I released an album. - He did. He was working.
- He released an album recently? - He topped the charts.
Since you're so busy, your information is off.
He's really not up to date these days.
- You should cut back on some shows. - I didn't know it.
(Gu Ra can't say anything back.)
It says that...
Psy felt a fatalistic rivalry...
the first time he saw Bum Soo.
What kind of rivalry did you feel?
Are you reporting the news?
- Shouldn't I do it like this? - You're too stiff.
(Seung Yoon is making them laugh.)
- I like your tone. - He's naturally like this.
His tone is starting to grow on me.
- His tone is naturally like this. - I'm starting to like it.
I thought he was an artificial intelligence.
- You know how it's like for him. - Just say it naturally.
- He's only 24. - It's okay.
- I naturally speak like a robot. - Of course.
- I talk like a robot. - He talks like this.
I'm not surprised since I've talked about this in the interview.
However, his tone is making me...
lose my words.
(It's a talent of his.)
(He laughs loudly.)
I saw him...
when he revealed his face for the first time.
It had a huge impact.
I'm sure that Bum Soo had also...
felt what I had felt.
- That's what I felt that time. - They're both wearing black.
People are generous these days.
We debuted during the end of the century.
- You had to have a certain look. - Exactly.
- That's why. - I'm a different case.
- I couldn't be on TV. - You were only on the radio.
I only appeared on radio programs.
You put off being on TV as much as you could.
- Yes, that's right. - As much as you can.
However, Psy...
was on TV right away because he wanted to.
That's why I'm the one that has a lot to say regarding looks.
- You can talk about that elsewhere. - I'll do that.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about my looks anymore.
- You're a success now. - His appearance has changed.
The lower part of his face is really handsome.
Please focus on my lower half.
It's like Lee Byung Hun is here with us.
(Lee Byung Hun is another person who has a handsome jaw.)
You look like a professor.
- Do I look like a professor? - Yes, you do.
It looks like he majored in something.
- You look like a specialist. - It's his personal opinion.
- You look like a specialist. - He's not making any sense.
I laughed the most when Sung Si Kyung told...
- his impression of Jong Shin. - What was it?
A teacher who is good at making investments.
(A teacher who is good at making investments)
(They understand what he means.)
Sung Si Kyung seemed like a giant with drooping eyes to me.
(He is a giant.)
Bum Soo, you can tell if someone can sing well...
just by looking at his or her face.
Being in a program for another broadcasting station...
called "I Can See Your Voice",
I have seen many tone-deaf and talented people.
Can you tell them apart?
It's hard, but I developed...
a fairly good judgement.
What does Seung Yoon's face tell you?
Seung Yoon, Zion. T, and Psy...
all sing as their faces suggest.
They all sing as their faces suggest.
They sing as their faces suggest.
- It can't be helped. - I know what he means.
- It has nothing to do... - I am convinced.
with their actual personalities.
Seung Yoon looks haughty and chic.
I think those qualities are reflected...
- in his music. - He sings as he looks.
Zion. T has vocalization...
that requires him to look this way.
It requires a protruding mouth.
- He needs his protruding mouth. - Jong Shin is the same.
- That's right. - I sing as my face suggests too.
He vocalizes like this.
He is right.
(I take off my school uniform)
Let's talk about someone who isn't a singer like Gook Jin.
The lower part of his face looks too fragile.
You need strong jaws to create resonance as you sing.
Isn't it hard to call someone who is far away?
Why would I call someone who is far away?
Gook Jin would walk away.
Zion. T is quite skinny.
I heard that there is a dream you want to make it come true.
- What is it? - It's my dream...
to weigh over 60kg.
Most people feel hunger at mealtimes.
I have lived thus far without feeling hunger.
I have a curiosity.
They say appetite and sex drive are proportional.
- That's not necessarily true. - What do you think?
- He says that's not the case. - Wait a minute.
Gook Jin doesn't eat a lot.
It looks like there is something he wants to say.
He has a high sex drive.
He made that comment because he was self-conscious.
"Even though I don't eat a lot, I have a high sex drive."
I am only saying that the two aren't proportional.
- Let me ask him this. - So...
- You would know if it's true. - When you eat...
Does eating come first?
You are making it weird.
You are making it weird again.
No, I am not. He asked if appetite and sex drive are proportional.
The two... The two...
What are you talking about?
- What are you talking about? - I am sure everyone understood me.
Zion. T, you would know. You don't eat much.
- Do you have a healthy sex drive? - Yes, I do.
- Of course he would say that. - It goes without saying...
that having a meal before makes it better.
What are you talking about?
Everyone understood me, you fool.
I haven't seen you in five years, and you look very cheerful.
- He has changed a lot. - He is very cheerful.
- I was very surprised. - He is enjoying his spring days.
He seems like a teenager at his prime.
You have a passion for sunglasses.
You said that sunglasses are like briefs for you.
Does that mean you take them off only when you take a shower?
Because people recognize you even without sunglasses these days,
you can't help but put on an act.
How do you put on an act?
It looks like he is running the program on his own.
I don't know which question to answer.
He is doing okay.
I will wrap it up.
People didn't recognize you without sunglasses in the past.
Because people do these days, you can't help but put on an act.
- Did you understand this time? - Yes, I did.
In the past, people simply walked past me...
when I wasn't wearing sunglasses.
It was very convenient. Then I starred in "I Live Alone".
That's right.
My eyes were revealed to the public.
Many people recognize me without my sunglasses these days.
Perhaps I am mistaken,
but you used to wear sunglasses that are very dark.
- I can see shapes of your eyes now. - Really?
- Don't you agree? - The sunglasses became lighter.
They did.
Are you letting people see your eyes...
while claiming to be inconvenienced by recognition?
I know.
- No, I am not. - No?
He is firm.
- There is no room for questions. - You were mistaken.
There is no room for questions. He is firm.
He is firm.
I had an experience that is similar to Zion. T's.
While I was releasing songs abroad,
no one recognized me without sunglasses.
I always wear sunglasses in music videos.
When I visited places for promotion, my manager would say,
"We will arrive in three minutes. Put on your sunglasses."
People need to recognize me.
When you take off your sunglasses,
many Japanese or Chinese people look like you.
- That's right. - That's right.
Your looks are more Japanese or Chinese than Korean.
- I have the eyes of China. - That's right.
(I have the eyes of China.)
Psy, you released a new song...
- two hours before the shoot. - Yes, I did.
"The rise and fall of this shoot..."
"will depend on where the song ranks on music charts."
Let's check it out.
Let's see where it ranks.
You don't have to do that.
- Let's check it out. - It makes me look crude.
- We must do this. - That's right.
- Psy is back. - We want to know where it ranks.
- We are curious. - I don't care about that.
We are not checking the charts because you asked.
Give me the current music chart.
(They check the current music chart.)
- Do you have it? - It's top one.
- Top 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. - Top 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6.
(Congratulations)
Look at this.
Top 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. "I Luv It".
"New Face". There is "Really Really" by Winner.
- YG Entertainment is going strong. - That's right.
His new song ranks 1st in 7 music charts.
Congratulations.
Play Psy's "I Luv It".
(Music, cue.)
(My goodness.)
(They ride the rhythm with their necks.)
- He is embarrassed. - Psy is 41 years old.
Zion. T, what do you think about the song?
It's very nice.
He likes it.
He only cares about how his songs do in music charts.
I have a question for singers.
If you can choose between briefly placing top one...
or staying in the chart for a long time...
- For a long time? - Some songs stay in top 10...
for a long time.
I am talking about songs like "Sweet Heart".
Do you think it's better for your song to place top one?
It differs by genres.
My songs don't stay in the chart for a long time.
They don't stay in the chart for a long time.
- It's better to sweep the charts. - What Gu Ra said...
Kim Young Chul's song started at top 100.
It slowly moved up places.
That's completely different.
Young Chul's song...
started at top 100.
When it reached top 70, we said, "There it is!"
"There it is!" It's fun to look at the chart from the bottom.
- It really is. - Are you living vicariously...
through Kim Young Chul?
My songs aren't on the chart.
(You can believe in me.)
Horse Dance, Haughty Dance. Every dance you make become a hit.
We must see Psy's dance.
Let's see the dance for "I Luv It".
His armpits will become sweaty.
- It's the dance for "New Face". - "New Face".
That's right.
Why are you showing us the dance for "New Face", not "I Luv It"?
Is it easier?
After the dance for "New Face", I will talk some more.
I will show the other dance later.
- He is good. - You have both dances prepared.
That's right.
- You can bring it up later. - Okay.
"Why don't you show us the dance for the other song?"
- Should we make that comment? - Yes.
(I will be thankful if you do.)
My goodness.
"New Face".
- "New Face". - "New Face".
My goodness.
This is a bit embarrassing.
That's your lucky spot.
That's why I am standing over here.
My song became a hit after I danced here.
I am doing everything the same.
It's too bad that "Go Show" has been canceled.
(He feels bad.)
That's how determined he is.
(He will make his armpits sweat like he did 5 years ago.)
(He gathers sweat of the universe.)
Here it comes.
(His sweaty armpits explode.)
(He shakes off his sweat and becomes dry.)
(His passion explodes.)
(He shakes his body in a controlled way.)
(He is the best.)
(It's a dance of the past.)
(He gave the dance his all.)
- I have so much respect for you. - It's more dynamic.
- That's right. - There are more movements.
It became harder.
The thing is,
(Sighing)
time has changed everything.
I am not as energetic as I was in the past.
(Laughing)
Here is the fact about Psy's dance.
Not even the best dancer...
- can dance like him. - That's right.
- It doesn't feel the same. - No, it doesn't.
It's a mystery.
It's the best to find a dance that suits your body.
On rare occasions, I find that dance that I can dance better than anyone.
Popular dances look strange when I do them.
Even when a serious of movements passes by in a blur,
one move sticks out.
That's your style.
I didn't say that.
(I don't understand.)
Gook Jin tries to translate...
- I was... - everything.
Instead of helping him out, I let him finish this time.
(Snorting)
He was pretending to be knowledgeable.
We usually help him by cutting him off mid-sentence.
- Gu Ra and I stayed still. - "Let's see what he has to say."
(Laughing)
"Gangnam Style" became a hit around the world.
You must feel pressured.
It will be hard to release a more successful song.
It will be impossible. I know that.
You must feel pressured about the music video as well.
- That's right. - It made "Gangnam Style" popular.
- That's right. - It was a big hit.
What is happening with the newest music video?
Will Seo Jang Hoon be in it?
Jang Hoon is popular these days.
I asked,
but he was busy.
- He is in a lot of programs. - He is.
He is only in 4 or 5 programs.
- Gu Ra is in more programs. - How many programs are you in?
I am in about 10 programs.
- He is quite successful. - This is his third shoot today.
I didn't mean to boast.
I only meant that he can find time if he has the will.
- Jang Hoon should help out Psy. - That's right.
It's his chance to be a world-renowned giant.
(It's too bad.)
You worked with Lee Byung Hun for the newest music video.
He looked cool in the music video.
How did you recruit him?
You weren't able to recruit Seo Jang Hoon.
That's how it came to be.
While I am friends with Lee Byung Hun,
inviting him to star in my music video is a different thing.
We know that from what happened with Seo Jang Hoon.
He is a good example.
You are right.
You recruited Lee Byung Hun months ago.
- That's right. - I overheard the phone call.
I recruited him...
because he is good at Robot Dance.
- Really? - He dances like this.
(Creaking)
- Really? - That's hilarious.
When he was little, he learned b-boying for a short while.
- I can't imagine him doing that. - I wouldn't call it b-boying.
It was called break dancing back then.
I saw him dance by chance.
I thought it was a shame to see it by myself.
For years, I tried to recruit him.
He asked a scenario and such.
As you know, my music videos don't have scenarios.
It's more like, "Let's shoot it over there."
Byung Hun said, "I can't work like that."
"I need to be prepared."
- Actors are like that. - He has the mind of an actor.
That's why I couldn't recruit him for many years.
My recent song contains lyrics...
that sound like swearing.
"Remove the bones before you eat fish."
"Remove the seeds before you eat watermelon."
I wondered how it would look to have Byung Hun lip-sync the part...
with a serious expression.
- That's a good idea. - It will be funny.
- That's why I said, - That's a good idea.
"Byung Hun, I have a scenario this time."
It wasn't much of a scenario.
He was shooting "Inside Men" at the time.
- So... - It's in character.
I suggested that he think of it as a continuation of "Inside Men".
Then he agreed to do it.
- We have the music video. - Shall we take a look?
My goodness.
("I Luv It" by Psy)
Look at him.
That's Seochon.
There is no plot.
It obviously doesn't have a plot.
(No plot, no scenario)
(Remove the bones before you eat fish)
Byung Hun looks nice.
(Charismatic)
(He break dances.)
He is good.
(Lee Byung Hun is the best.)
Yes!
Byung Hun is an actor through and through.
He brought out the scene.
- He knows what he is doing. - I know.
The shoot was over in an hour, right?
It was over in 30 minutes.
However, he said, "I feel like I should do more" and stayed.
- He was free. - I thought he would be busy.
Actors are free when they don't have work.
Even though he is a star, we couldn't look after him.
We said, "You can go now."
- He didn't go. - No, he didn't.
There is a part that goes, "One more time!"
He suggested that he does the part.
He left after shooting that part.
(Lee Byung Hun,)
(the loyal man stayed almost to the end.)
Did he watch the music video?
I got it confirmed from him about five times.
They ended up working for each other.
- Did you show him ahead of time? - Did he ask you to edit it?
"The edit makes the dance look a bit slow."
- Was he talking about other parts? - No.
He was talking about his dance.
He looked over the part very carefully.
- You mean this part. - That's right.
(Lee Byung Hun is a perfectionist.)
Shall we see the dance?
- Show us the dance for "I Luv It". - The music video is very nice.
- Really? - Yes.
It will be popular among middle-aged men.
(Gook Jin has confirmed it.)
I think it will be popular among middle-aged men.
It's for those who are born in the 60s.
People on the older side will love the song.
- The 70s and 80s. - It has traditional elements too.
(They will be loyal fans.)
- During the dance of "I Luv It", - I love the song.
I found a move Jang Do Yeon does often.
- You mean Park Na Rae. - Jang Do Yeon does it often too.
This is the move.
- I got the idea from them. - I see.
You should treat them to dinner.
- Okay. - They won't refuse.
"They won't refuse."
(He will reveal the signature dance moves of "I Luv It".)
(He is channeling Jang Do Yeon.)
(The fairy of reaction is working hard.)
("I Luv It" will be popular among those in older generations.)
(This middle-aged man loves it.)
(He should have concerts at mineral springs.)
(Passionate)
(This is how you do it.)
(His cheerful dance makes crowd gather.)
(He succeeded in captivating everyone.)
This song...
is more like Psy's.
- This song is nice. - This song is more like Psy's.
Working out the adductor muscle will appeal...
to middle-aged men and women.
- It will appeal to them. - That's right.
Should I dance like this?
(Dance to "I Luv It" to work the adductor muscle.)
When Psy was working in the US with "Gangnam Style",
Bum Soo was very jealous and regretful.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
I was never like that.
I met Psy at a music festival...
before "Gangnam Style" blew up.
He officially asked me...
to work with him.
"Bum Soo, you showed potentials as a dance singer..."
"with your performance on 'I Am a Singer'."
- You performed with Park Myung Soo. - Yes.
"I want to work with you."
Back then,
he was second-rate.
He is right.
He wasn't very big.
I said, "Let's work together if an opportunity comes up."
(He was relaxed.)
- That's how we parted ways. - You were on "I Am a Singer".
Two weeks later,
"Psy Style"... I mean...
"Gangnam Style" became big.
- "Psy Style" by Gangnam. - That's right.
It changed his life.
"Gangnam Style" became big.
Since Psy and I weren't close friends or anything,
I realized that his suggestion was water under the bridge.
He crossed the water on an airplane.
That's why I was regretful. However, I wasn't jealous.
Did the two of you work on...
"A Greedy Woman"?
Psy helped me a lot in writing the lyrics.
The song is composed by Yoo Gun Hyung.
- Jong Shin almost wrote the lyrics. - I almost did.
Both Jong Shin and I have something to do with the song.
You know,
it was a bit pressuring to work with Psy.
- I couldn't write the lyrics. - I know.
I wanted the lyrics to be funny and witty.
That thought kept me from writing the lyrics.
He was very pressured.
I wanted to change my life.
(I wanted to change my life.)
"A Greedy Woman" was a flop.
(Resigned)
You know...
It looks like you were too greedy.
Regardless of the outcome,
I like Psy's music very much.
Even a balladeer wants to try new genres.
I had acted on a long-cherished dream of mine.
The outcome wasn't so great.
(Act on a long-cherished dream sometime later.)
After he was forced to work abroad five years ago,
Psy contracted the US Sickness and struggled for a while.
Comedians-turned-actors have a similar problem.
It goes away when jobs become sparse.
What are the symptoms of the US Sickness?
I remained modest during interviews.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
"It will be hard for a Korean song to become a hit again."
Deep inside my heart,
I felt like my song would be a hit again.
I should have appeared on variety shows as I always did.
I had control over that.
Did Radio Star try to recruit you when you had the US Sickness?
That's right.
I couldn't understand people well at the time.
It lasted 2 to 3 years.
I wanted to make it happen one more time.
What was the song you released with Snoop Dogg?
- "Hangover". - That's right.
Didn't it cure your sickness?
- At that time, - I bet it did.
I was at the height of the sickness.
It's no wonder an American cured the US Sickness.
That's right.
He is a good doctor.
- He is a good doctor. - American medicine is the best.
Traditional medicine wouldn't have helped.
He is a good doctor.
The US Sickness can only be cured with American medicine.
(I am cured.)
The original Billboard star, Bum Soo said,
"Without me, Psy wouldn't have become a world-famous singer."
- You bragged about it a lot. - Was it "A Day"?
You just improvised. "A lot" wasn't in the script.
(He's ambitious.)
You improvised.
- Did you come up with that? - That wasn't in the script.
- I did come up with it. - He did.
- The Billboard charts... - There are several.
- As you know, there are many. - Right.
- Are they by genres? - The chart...
- Among charts by genres, - Is there one for music from Asia?
- There are Airplay and Sales Chart. - He's right.
- That's true. - Between these two charts,
my song was ranked 51st on the Airplay Chart...
- for 2 weeks. - 2 weeks?
My song left a mark on the chart and disappeared from it.
I had no idea that my song would end up in that chart at first.
Did you not catch the US Sickness?
- The US Sickness? - You were on the chart...
- I hadn't even been to the US then. - Really? I see.
(He's joking.)
Bum Soo, I heard your concert in Carnegie Hall was sold out.
I was informed you were the first singer from Asia to accomplish that.
Out of accomplishments I have made, this must be the most unbelievable.
By the way, we haven't been to Carnegie Hall.
We just know that it is an auditorium.
Even within Seoul Arts Center, there are smaller auditoriums.
Did you use the main concert hall?
In Carnegie Hall, there is only one auditorium.
- Really? How many seats are there? - It's the main concert hall.
It isn't that big of a venue. There are 1,800 seats.
- Not just anyone can perform there. - That's right.
- Isn't it a respected venue? - The venue itself is...
The importance isn't on the fact that it was sold out.
It's on the fact that I was able to perform on that stage.
Exactly. You have to be respected to perform in the venue.
I also think that Psy is amazing.
I wouldn't say that there is a discrimination...
against people of color in the music industry in the US.
- It's a hard barrier to overcome. - The thing is...
The barrier is pretty high.
- This is... - They just find it unfamiliar.
- This situation itself. - They feel distant.
Just like a world-famous star, you can take a neutral stand quite well.
Discrimination is a bit of a dangerous word.
- He might go back to the US. - Of course.
- He has some lingering feelings. - It's because...
(He feels guilty.)
Bum Soo, you held concerts in the US,
- Canada, and Japan. - Right.
In which country are you the most well-received by the fans?
I think this question is more appropriate...
for Psy.
He's determined to support Psy.
Then for what would I have accepted to star on this show?
That's not what I meant.
- But you came here after all. - I've only been criticized here.
You still had concerts in these places.
- Is that a hard question to answer? - He's here to earn Psy's heart.
For my concerts, over 90 percent of the audience...
- are residents in that country. - That's true.
The Korean residents and people from overseas...
- express more passionately. - I agree.
They freely express their feelings.
Is there a difference between Korean residents from Canada or the US?
For instance, do the residents from Canada wave leaves or something?
How about it?
Do residents in Japan wave pickled apricots?
- Pickled apricots? - They can't wave pickled apricots.
- They can't? - They are too wet.
(Pickled apricots are too wet.)
Are there memorable fans though?
I wouldn't say they are memorable fans.
I was thankful to the fans who came to see my concert from Korea.
My fans are usually older than I am.
I went on a tour of about 10 cities in 5 different countries.
- Goodness. - It's not easy to come for one.
- Of course. - I understand.
The cost for flight tickets and the lodgings.
There were fans who came to every single concert.
- They are amazing. - In the concert hall,
there were a huge poster...
and a life-sized celebrity cutout.
They took these things.
I don't know how they carried them onto a plane.
They are massive.
- They might fold it and put it in. - Fold?
Or the cutouts would be hanging at the end of a plane.
- Just like this? - It would be flying hard.
I am speechless.
(I am speechless.)
You bragged that you helped Psy get ranked on the Billboard Chart,
but you benefited from Psy whenever you went to the US.
Going through the immigration in the US...
can be too formal.
The immigration officer asked me to where I was headed, why I was...
in the US, for how many days I planned to say, and what my job was.
He kept asking me these questions, but I couldn't speak English.
I felt intimidated.
So I just said this.
My friend is Psy.
That was out of nowhere.
- Let me finish. - "My friend is Psy." What is this?
I first asked if he knew Psy.
- You asked him first. - I said, "He's my friend."
Then I sang the song.
Gangnam style
After that, everyone started to do the dance.
- At that time? - At the immigration checkpoint.
They are known to be stiff.
You all know how formal the airport immigration interviews can be.
- How formal are they? - I heard they are so stiff,
and they get hardened at the end of the day.
(He's the best at puns.)
He's the best at feeding off other people's comments.
- I want to learn from him. - Goodness.
- He said he wanted to learn. - Don't learn this.
- This is useless. - You ought to learn this.
- You need to learn how to do this. - It's a very small skill.
(It's not even worth learning.)
Zion. T,
I heard you were nominated as the musician Billboard Chart...
should keep its eye on.
I found out when I had the interview for this.
- About your nomination? - I found out...
when I had the preliminary interview for the show today.
The writer said, "I heard you had a happy occasion to celebrate."
I guess Billboard Chart doesn't contact musicians.
- They picked him though. - I thought that...
I would have nothing to do with Billboard Chart.
I wasn't aware of it, but this sure made me happy.
Where is the headquarters of Billboard Chart located?
(He asks out of the blue.)
It should be located in the US.
- He doesn't know a lot about that. - Where is the headquarter located?
- Where is it? - I don't know about that.
Jong Shin asked thinking Psy would know.
I'm sorry.
- Wasn't Winner on the chart too? - Was your song ranked on the chart?
Yes, our song was listed on the World Digital Sales Song Chart.
Is that so?
It seems it's quite easy to be listed on the chart.
- I guess it's not that competitive. - Is that an easy chart?
Four musicians here were ranked on the chart?
- Yes. - Yes.
Psy, you're respected as the singer who knows how to have fun on stage.
Your concert is the number one concert the elderlies avoid.
Last year's end-of-the-year concert was the longest.
The concert started at 12am and ended at 5:20am.
5:20...
It ended 5:20am. The concert started at midnight.
- I see. - It was an end-of-the-year concert.
- He's no joke. - It was called "All Night Stand".
The audience asked why the concert didn't last for the whole night.
A lot of people complained on that matter, so it lasted all night long.
- He really sang all night long. - Right.
What were some acts that you did for 5 hours and 20 minutes?
"Acts"?
- Did you say, "acts"? - He can't sing for all those hours.
I consider my concert to be more of a service-focused business,
so I have an attitude of an owner.
(I will take care of you the best I can. Fun guaranteed!)
Usually, my concerts last for about 2 hours and 30 or 40 minutes.
- And then? - My encores are a bit long.
But that time, after I was done with the encores,
I pretended that the concert was over,
and I started again from the introduction.
- So it lasted for five hours. - Right.
- He's amazing. - Whose concerts are longer?
Yours or Lee Seung Hwan's?
- His concerts are longer. - Did it last about eight hours?
He keeps jumping when he sings.
- He is the same age with you. - That's right.
- Oh, right. - I didn't know.
I went to see Eminem's concert. His ended after 80 minutes.
- His concerts are short. - He doesn't talk a lot either.
Right, he barely spoke a word.
When I was watching it, I realized I should be like him on TV.
(I must star for a short while but leave a strong impression.)
You fell once, but the audience thought it was part of your act.
I fell because I got cramps in my legs.
I fell,
but since I pull a lot of surprises...
Well, this was the last move of the dance for "Champion".
That will get you cramps all right.
"Champion" was the last song of the concert.
When I did the dance move, I fell just like this.
My legs hurt as if someone was poking them with skewers.
When I fell, the audience went wild.
Even when someone carried me off the stage on his back,
- they kept shouting. - They thought it was an act.
(Psy, your performance was the best!)
Bum Soo, you said when you watch Psy's passionate performance,
you feel bad for Psy.
It's because...
When I first went to his concert to appear as a guest,
that was the start of our friendship.
As a singer who also perform on stage,
the feeling I had was more than...
me identifying myself with him. I felt a sense of pity.
He really didn't spare his body at all.
I thought that he might seriously get injured if he continued.
It made me think if that day was the last day he would perform.
The reason he must have felt pity for me was...
because the guest singers always perform...
after I perform a show in which I dress up as a woman.
From the backstage, I saw his performance.
- I saw his back. - My back looks pitiful.
I look lonely too.
After his concerts, I bet Psy...
would go home utterly exhausted.
Ballad singers don't go farther than a 5m-radius.
Sung Si Kyung walked about five steps.
- He did. - It was during his concert.
- I envy him. - So do I.
He walks to get water.
(He walks 5 steps to drink water.)
When he just points a finger,
- his fans are over the moon. - I'm so envious.
I hope you will lead a similar life in your next life, Bum Soo.
(Whining)
Psy, you are the king of concerts,
but you have performances you want...
- to keep from your daughters. - He has two daughters, right?
- You have 2 daughters, don't you? - 2 daughters? I see.
One who gets famous for dressing up as a woman, goes down because of it.
I had no idea that I would be...
dressing up as a woman for this long.
I started dressing up as a woman since 2003.
At that time,
when we went out for after-work dinners,
dressing up was the strongest performance.
Many people didn't dress up as a woman except Hwang Seung Hwan.
- He was the pioneer. - Goodness.
- I haven't heard his name for ages. - It's been a while.
- I agree. - His name was Seung Hwan.
This has been continuing for a long time now.
Memories might be erased, but the records don't get deleted.
My daughters are growing, but these records will remain.
So we have prepared the records.
I have the photos in the album.
Show me the photos of Psy's concerts in his album.
- You can see them right here. - Please choose one.
Here. I chose one.
- It's coming out from his chest. - What is this now?
- He looks like Venus. - Is it his chest?
- Is it coming out from his breasts? - This is unbelievable.
Is it really coming from his body?
There was an old film of Chow Sing Chi, "Hong Kong 007".
There was a similar scene to this one.
- He was the first one. - When you do a lot of dressing up,
you have hunches that whether that dress-up will be successful...
or mediocre.
When I get the feeling it will be mediocre, I hang more stuff.
I put the cones on my breasts.
If I'm backed into a corner, I turn it on and the fire comes out.
This will be successful no matter what.
But since there are photos, they are starting to ask questions.
They asked why a fire came out of my breasts.
- They... - Your breasts are nice.
They must think it's a cartoon.
- A fire came out of your breasts. - In "Mazinger Z", Aphrodite A's...
- breasts were bombs. - Oh, right.
Those were her only weapons.
- You're right. - Bombs kept coming out...
after she was improved.
The bombs really kept coming out.
- I'm telling you the truth. - But at first...
- She only had two bombs. - That's true.
She used to have only two...
- in the beginning. - I don't know this one.
Since we are on this, when they start going to school,
they might ask you to dress up for the field day or something.
- They could ask. - On the field day,
I would dress up...
and have a fire come out of my breasts?
Didn't they start elementary school?
Yes, they did.
You might get an offer soon.
(My dad is the best!)
Bum Soo, you are the best singer at hitting the high notes perfectly.
You said when you saw Jong Shin on TV,
your heart almost stopped.
- Why? - You said this.
- Was it "Men on a Mission"? - I saw you singing the song...
"I Miss You" on "Men on a Mission".
I sang the song since I knew it without practicing.
I realized the key was pretty high when I was singing it.
I really loved your performance.
I guess I was desperate.
- I wanted to sing it well. - But the thing is...
you sounded like Psy when he sings "Father".
Psy always sings this in an acoustic accompaniment.
When he does, there's something that gives off a sad feeling.
You were a bit similar in that sense.
(He uploaded the video on his social media page since he was proud.)
(He even complimented himself.)
- Bum Soo's range is really wide. - I agree.
When I was halfway through the song,
I remembered the melody that came after.
I was thinking how I was going to handle that part.
Somehow, I managed.
Personally, I really loved the performance.
There was a time when Bum Soo asked me for my advice about dating.
You know how he seems sly and skillful on variety shows?
But in real life, he's not as sly or skillful as he seems on TV.
- He's not experienced in dating. - That's right.
- I'm quite shy. - Right, he's really shy.
When we met, he asked me what he should do if he liked someone.
- I told him to sing the song. - Great point.
I said if he did,
he would be able to make some great memories.
If I sing "I Miss You", it's like...
launching a nuclear missile in a war.
- It's that powerful? - Yes.
- Will it strike hard? - But...
- Is it that strong of a weapon? - It's cheating if you sing it.
It's a nuclear weapon.
I just want to play fair.
I support non-violent methods in dating.
Do you feel tempted though?
Of course I do.
- I have some experiences too. - It's his last resort.
When I sing that song, it's quite effective.
But the hearts I won with the song...
- I know what you mean. - tend to disappear like bubbles.
Why would it disappear? You can sing it for the rest of her life.
The key is too high.
(Even Bum Soo struggles to sing "I Miss You".)
I'll sing it at a crucial moment like when I need to propose.
That's what Psy suggested too.
When other celebrities are worried that they might be...
involved in a scandal, Bum Soo, but you've never been in a scandal,
and you are worried about having no scandals.
I heard that you have a lot of fun at clubs.
- I do. - But there are still no scandals.
- So you are worried? - I am not worried.
I just feel down.
I realized that there will be no love scandals for me...
and that I don't come across...
as a manly, attractive guy even if I am a good singer.
- I don't agree. - I got close to U Ie on a show.
We did have a meal because we became friends.
Some get into a love scandal even if they just share a meal.
He likes girls like U Ie. She's tall.
Just like Kim Gun Mo, you like tall women.
Jong Shin knows my ideal type better than I do.
But the problem is when she was sitting right there,
he told me that he liked girls like U Ie.
- I really do though. - She was next to you?
- But nothing happened between them. - We even had meals too,
- but there was no scandal. - He's right.
You must have had the meal in an open space.
- Does that matter? - Hide when you meet.
- I should do that instead? - There will be a scandal.
- No, it's not that. - Wear masks. Take off when you eat.
I should eat just like this?
When you wear masks, it helps.
Gook Jin looks happy when we talk about dating.
He does, doesn't it?
(You look happy, Gook Jin.)
The positive side of this is...
that I am a scandal-free celebrity.
- There are no rumors. - Exactly. How nice is that?
- So, please call me. - He can date now.
- You want them to call you? - Sure.
- Was that what you wanted? - You want them to call you?
Even if we share a meal, there won't be any scandal. Isn't it nice?
I feel sad for you.
- I mean... - It's sad, yet funny.
Even someone like me gets into a scandal. I feel sorry for him.
(Poor Bum Soo.)
I noticed that Gu Ra started to share...
- his ideal type through the media. - That's true.
He told what kind of relationship he wanted after his son grows up.
When he shared this and got into a scandal,
- I thought it was beautiful... - It is, isn't it?
- It's nice. - like the second phase of puberty.
(This is similar to the 2nd phase of puberty.)
- It's his third phase. - Hey, stop it.
- No, it's the fourth phase. - That is...
more of a complaint.
- Right now... - He just whined few moments ago.
- Why? - "When I go home, I am alone."
- "I am alone." - I feel comfortable.
- That's not how you said it. - No, you got it wrong.
(His complaint makes his colleagues feel sad for him.)
Bum Soo, you should whine about your dating life. Then it will happen.
- Really? - Yes. You know what?
I went golfing with Han Young of LPG the other day.
I was golfing with her, and I got a call from Kim Heung Gook.
He said, "Hey, Gun Mo is interested in her."
"Don't flirt with her."
He called me out of nowhere.
(It was a sudden declaration.)
- My goodness. - Gosh, this is embarrassing.
I told him that I wasn't interested in dating her.
He asked me if I didn't watch "Mom's Diary".
It turned out he mentioned his ideal type on the show.
- I am just telling you. - I find tall ladies really cute.
I think it's a good idea to reveal your ideal type.
- There has to be a starting point. - That's true.
I should work on it.
It's not good if you reveal too much.
(Let me start dating someone first.)
Like a world-famous star on whom Billboard Chart is keeping its eye,
- a thousand fans from Portugal... - Really?
lay their eyes only on you.
Are they coming through Macao?
It happened so long ago.
Macao was decolonized from Portugal long ago.
They might make a transfer at Macao.
- He's showing off his knowledge. - No, I am not.
This is basic knowledge.
I went to London with Zion. T.
We went there only for one event,
but he arrived in London a week before and held a show there.
I said, "Are you that famous to have a show in London?"
- You thought little of him. - That's what I really said.
I've never heard that he had fans in London.
How many people were there?
There were about 2,500 people?
- Really? - About 70 percent were foreigners.
- That's amazing. - But the thing is...
Did they sing along the lyrics?
What shocked me the most was...
"Yanghwa Bridge" is a song about family.
Some foreigners misunderstand the song.
- How do they misunderstand? - How?
They think it's a fun song.
- It's a sad song. - The lyrics have the word "happy".
(Let's be happy)
(Dancing)
A lot of singers choose you, Zion. T...
as a musician they want to work together,
- but you are often out of reach. - This is going to come up.
That's why a lot of people criticize you for that.
- I must apologize to someone. - You do?
It's Kim Yeon Woo.
- Yeon Woo? - He asked you a long time ago.
- Right. - He mentioned that to me.
We decided to work on a song together, but he couldn't reach me.
He starred on a show and talked about me.
- He said he couldn't reach you. - I was incredibly sorry.
There was a time that things were messy when I changed my agency.
I know it's an excuse. I am sincerely sorry.
I'm sorry.
2 years have already passed.
Yeon Woo holds grudges.
(I will forgive your sin. Or not?)
- I also texted him, - Oh, right.
- but he never answered. - That's right.
Seung Yoon...
just told you that he couldn't get a hold of me, didn't he?
- But... - A while ago...
- "A while ago"? - Before I arrived...
Hey, don't tell them that. Please don't.
Before I arrived here, he sent me a text that said,
"Zion. T, let's have a good shooting today."
So I replied back saying that I hope the shooting goes well.
- But he said, "I told the staff..." - Hold on.
- "that I couldn't reach you." - Hey, why are you saying this?
"How can you answer my text right away?"
He already did the groundwork.
This had to follow through.
- Zion. T had to play along. - Seung Yoon threw the bait.
- "See? He didn't answer." - Did he draw the big picture?
- That's what he wanted to do. - I wanted to prove he didn't reply.
- But he answered. - He answered right away.
He replied instantly.
(He is criticized even when he answers the texts.)
Zion. T, you are seen as the icon of the unreachable singer.
- But I don't want to call you that. - Unreachable singer?
When G-Dragon made you an offer,
you were so glad...
that you accepted it, but then something happened.
I once featured in G-Dragon's solo album.
We were strangers then.
I was really happy.
I was driving on Garosu-gil one day.
Back then, I drove a small car.
It was a tiny, cute car.
It was my cute friend.
When I was driving it,
I got so excited and said that I got an offer to work with G-Dragon.
To your car?
No, to my friend who was beside me.
He's driving him into a strange man.
- You're driving him in a weird way. - He was personifying his car.
- What's the matter with you? - He called it "a tiny cute friend".
(I only say what I heard.)
- I'm sorry. - No, I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - It was possible...
for you to misunderstand that he was speaking to his car.
- He's capable of doing that. - So you're saying...
that you hurt your tiny cute car, right?
Yes, we were all excited.
Then I bumped the shoulder of a very expensive...
imported car when I was passing by.
You picked up G-Dragon's calls right away.
Won't people misunderstand?
- It was from an unknown number, - It was an unknown number.
- so I picked it up. - You answer calls from...
- an unknown number only? - You don't answer other calls.
That's weird.
(Now I pick up phone calls well.)
Psy, the best performer went to a karaoke...
with Bum Soo, IU, and Noh Hong Chul.
You turned the karaoke into a concert hall?
What an unexpected harmony of members.
When Bum Soo performed at my concert as a guest,
IU and Noh Hong Chul were...
- also the guests. - Hong Chul was a guest too.
We went to karaoke all together to sing.
If the soundproof isn't too good, you hear noise easily.
The people in the next room...
couldn't be any more enthusiastic.
They were having so much fun, so we were determined to do better.
They kept singing our songs.
- They must have seen you. - No, they just sang them.
- Their songs are famous. - That's right.
They sang my songs, Bum Soo's songs, IU's songs,
and even the song Hong Chul sang on "Infinite Challenge Music Festival".
- To call it a coincidence, it's... - That's why...
It's hard to believe.
They sang other songs too.
"If they sing one of our songs again, shall we go to that room?"
- That'll be an event. - Sounds fun.
When they sang our song, we went into the room.
It was so much fun.
- It was really fun. - Did they like you?
- Of course. - They loved us.
- They were really young too. - I see.
- The atmosphere was great. - It was great.
Later on, we put arms around each other and jumped all together.
One sad thing was...
that there was IU.
What I mean is an IU among them.
(IU among them was the star of that room.)
- Really? - Since the real IU...
entered the room...
That made her become a nobody.
She was no longer IU.
I think there were ones in charge of being Psy and Bum Soo too.
- Exactly. - One would've been Hong Chul too.
Psy, Bum Soo, and Hong Chul in that room...
- were more glad to see us. - Exactly.
However, IU of that room...
was getting all the attention and popularity.
She would've been flustered.
(We didn't mean to take your spotlight away. I'm sorry.)
Bum Soo became close with Psy...
because Psy treated him really well.
It's a pretty simple reason.
How did he treat you?
- It's not only about the fee. - It's similar to a performance fee.
His sincere heart moved me more than the fee.
- Cash, gifts, or the conditions? - The conditions of the venue.
He meets all his guests in advance.
Before performing, he treats them to a meal.
- Not a call through the manager. - That's not it.
He treated us to a meal to express his gratitude. That's how we met.
We met and got acquainted with one another.
The quality of the gift he offers at the concert is extraordinary too.
- I see. - What is it?
- It's... - Pine nuts from Gapyeong?
(Gapyeong's pine nuts are known to be very expensive.)
- The most common gifts are... - Pine nuts from Gapyeong.
diffusers.
- Diffusers are common. - Diffusers are very common.
They smell too strong in my studio.
(I get a headache from the smell.)
He gives all the latest electronic goods.
- Electronic goods. - That will feel really good.
- The best specifications now. - The hot ones.
- For example, laptops. - Really?
Everyone could do that.
However, after concerts...
- It ends in smoke. - Guests often leave in the middle.
- They often don't even say goodbye. - That's right.
Many times, the host singers don't even say "thank you."
However, he meets his guests after the concert again.
He meets his guests after the concert.
- Some people will be bothered. - Also,
they could think that you're trying to hook them as regular guests.
"Why is he being so persistent?"
- They could hate you. - "Persistent"...
- "Persistent". - "Is he trying to tie me down?"
"Why does he keep calling me? It's not neat."
I was influenced by Psy.
Since then, I treat my guest singers the same way he does.
- I'm serious. - That's really nice.
Do you sometimes give the gifts you received?
Give the gifts you received to someone else?
- It may circulate between singers. - It'll keep circulating.
It'll circulate until the next model is out.
I need to learn these things.
Psy will receive it at the end.
(Psy will end up receiving the gift he gave to others.)
- Bum Soo. - Yes?
There's something you care more than your voice before you perform?
- I love clothes so much. - He dresses well.
What is that snake print?
- It's the recent... - It's a brand.
- I didn't know. - It's a new arrival.
I thought you got it at Dongmyo.
(Depressed)
It's made by a popular Korean designer.
It's possible you don't know.
We neither know nor understand it.
I like wearing clothes,
so I'm obsessed with adjusting my outfit perfectly.
If it's not straightened enough, I can't perform well.
For example, if the buttons are a bit loose...
- You're afraid they'll fall. - Something like these bothers me.
People normally don't care, but I can't leave it alone.
Hence, I ask my stylist to fix it.
- You check that before performing. - I check those.
More than your voice condition.
What is it with Bae Jung Nam?
From long ago, Bae Jung Nam was my role model in terms of fashion.
- Bae Jung Nam was your role model? - Yes.
- You look a bit like him. - No, I don't.
He wears hanbok and stuff,
- and he pulls them off perfectly. - That's right.
- I'm not as stylish. - It's because he has a nice figure.
- I can't copy him. - Bae Jung Nam.
It'd be nice if I could style myself like him.
What did you think when you saw him on the show?
I thought he'd definitely be...
- older than I am. - He was born in 1983.
I collected all his pictures on magazines since I was young.
- I decided my style after him. - He was born in 1984.
- He was five years younger than I. - He was born in 1984.
He was younger than I.
- I was shocked. - I think you two will get along.
He had a personality I like.
I'll treat him nicely as my little brother when I see him.
"The Sheriff In Town" is doing well since he was aired.
You can't think of it that way.
We played a big role in the success of the movie.
Psy topped the charts since he was on Radio Star.
- Earlier... - Radio Star is indeed the best.
during the break, you checked your ranking, right?
By the time this show is aired,
Twice will release their song.
(Twice, the really popular group, will release their song.)
- You don't expect much. - Of course not.
Be happy that you topped the charts.
(Topping the charts is a big deal these days.)
Zion. T is with The Black Label, an agency affiliated with YG.
I thought he would've got much benefit from YG,
but in fact, he can't even see Yang Hyun Suk.
- We work in different buildings. - The buildings are different.
That's why we've never had a meal together.
Is it a totally different company?
- It's an affiliated agency. - Isn't it the same?
- The style is a bit different. - YG...
Psy, are you with the head office of YG?
Yes, the head office.
- The head office. - Yes, I'm with YG's head office.
- He's directly operated. - He's directly operated.
- Seo Jang Hoon as well, right? - Yes, he's directly operated.
What about Kim Young Chul? Is he directly operated?
- Yes, he is. - I see.
- Cho Jung Chi's with the franchise? - Cho Jung Chi is...
with Mystic 89.
- There's Mystic 89 underneath? - It's an affiliate.
There's Apop Entertainment run by Jo Young Chul.
- It's complicated. - It's complicated.
- There's Mystic Actors too. - It's complicated.
It's divided a lot.
It's a corporate.
(It's a corporate.)
- He's the president. - You're amazing.
It's like...
a single office with a whole bunch of partitions.
Everyone's separated by partitions.
We order food separately too.
(He's joking.)
Zion. T, you have so many hit songs.
"Yanghwa Bridge" was your biggest hit song.
What is the story about you being sick of "Yanghwa Bridge"?
I got phone calls at dawn...
when I was asleep.
- "I'm at Yanghwa Bridge." - To tell you that he's passing by?
"What has that got to do with me?"
"I said I'm at Yanghwa Bridge."
My song would be playing in the background.
There's nothing you can do about it.
They wanted me to say hello and to sing the song for them.
(Oh, dear.)
It's common for celebrities to go through such experience.
It's like calling Gu Ra at night...
and asking him to swear. There are people like that.
- It all passes though. - It's water under the bridge.
People I know call me when they're in Gangnam too.
- "I'm in Gangnam." - How neat.
It's a huge area.
Gangnam is a borough.
People call Si Kyung and say "I'm on the street."
(Please stop calling me.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Since we have three gorgeous stars today, we prepared...
- "What We Sing Because We're Hot". - "What We Sing Because We're Hot".
Let's hear the song Bum Soo chose.
It's "With You".
(Bum Soo sang this hit song of Nam Jin and placed first.)
It's already been six years since he performed it on "I Am a Singer".
That's right. I can't believe that it was six years ago.
It was an amazing performance.
Is this the best song to sing however you want?
I was able to direct my enthusiastic energy...
like that of Psy on this stage.
I was able to exude my energy...
through my resentment.
- Seriously... - If I couldn't do it then,
the hunger would've lingered.
So you didn't direct such energy until then.
I didn't have a chance to show it.
- You sang ballad songs only. - People weren't curious either.
Let's hear Kim Bum Soo's "With You".
(Bum Soo will sing "With You".)
Kim Bum Soo.
(Ladies and gentlemen)
- Isn't it Park Myung Soo? - On "I Am a Singer",
he's in charge of being the most handsome person.
It's Kim...
Bum...
Soo!
(Introducing Kim Bum Soo.)
He's good.
(I need Psy's enthusiasm now.)
(Excited)
(I want to live with my dear Psy forever!)
(Great job, Bum Soo!)
(I sow seeds in spring then they bloom flowers in summer)
(We have a good harvest by autumn)
(I want to be with Psy in all seasons.)
(I'll express all my enthusiasm like that of Psy.)
(Bum Soo starts singing passionately.)
(Bum Soo is the best indeed.)
(I'll be happy if I'm with you)
(His high notes are refreshing and liberating.)
(They get goose bumps.)
(He's totally relaxed even after singing high notes.)
(I'm up all night)
(He claps enthusiastically.)
(We want to hear Bum Soo's singing forever.)
(He wraps up his stage.)
(Maybe not.)
- Great, great. - It's not over yet.
- Nice. - My gosh.
- With the sunglasses on, - Well...
- he looks a bit like Lee Jung. - I see.
Rather than Lee Jung, isn't he more like Bruno Mars?
- Bruno Mars of Korea. - I really liked Bruno Mars.
When he made a debut, I was really amazed.
I think it'd be nice to perform funky music like that of his.
- Exactly. - And...
in fact, I chose this song today...
because I've been greatly influenced by Psy.
It was to pay homage to him for a while.
It was like you, Bum Soo.
Did the dance mean something?
There wasn't any meaning to it.
- I see. - I must have...
interpreted it too broadly. I'm sorry.
Did it look like there was a meaning?
- Do that on "Battle of Tongues". - All right.
Let's hear Zion. T's song now.
(He bursts out laughing.)
How will you sing this song?
- He'll sing this song. - He'll sing this song properly.
Is this an easy song to sing for you?
You sing this song on its original key?
- I lowered the key a bit. - You lowered it?
I've been singing this song often at a karaoke...
since I was in elementary school.
It was released in 2001.
I used to sing it with my two sisters.
You have happy memories with this song.
However, he exploded with his song earlier...
Pick a song you want.
- Go up on stage quickly. - "Patbingsu".
- It's time. Go up on stage now. - Give him a round of applause.
- Let it begin. - I'm so curious.
Here he goes.
(Stiff)
I like it already.
(Put ice in the ice machine, then place a pretty dish underneath)
(The ice is being crushed)
(He moves like a patbingsu.)
(They're into Zion. T's patbingsu.)
(I like it.)
(Laughing)
(He's absorbed in copying Zion. T.)
(Bingsu, patbingsu)
(I love you, patbingsu.)
(Don't melt, patbingsu)
(Shouting)
(Stunned)
(It sounds like Zion. T's unique voice will melt patbingsu.)
(Please don't melt, patbingsu)
Thank you.
(Zion. T's "Patbingsu" was unique.)
It sounded unique.
I was lost in the song before I realized.
It felt as though it wasn't Jong Shin's song.
How could he make it sound like his own song? It's amazing.
This is what I said about freeloading.
(This is the freeloading I talked about.)
He doesn't even move much,
- but it sounds nice. - Sounds like the patbingsu melted.
- The ice is all shaved. - That's right.
(Thank you.)
- Today was... - Shaved.
"Looks Complete Music Special".
Please share what you thought about being on the show from Psy.
I actually find it really hard to be on a variety show.
It's tough for me, so I was really nervous.
However, when I'm on Radio Star,
other programs become much easier.
This is usually the first show I'm on.
I got to relieve much tension today. Thank you.
Bum Soo, what did you think?
We don't have much in common.
- It's... - Music is your common interest.
Music is one. I'm not with YG.
Since Psy released a new album,
I wanted to cheer him up.
In fact, I enjoyed being here myself.
Thank you for inviting me. I really had a lot of fun.
(He's a man of loyalty.)
Zion. T.
I'm not used to being in front of cameras,
so I wasn't able to speak well.
However, I was happy since everyone here responded well.
Saying it this way makes me look really pathetic.
- How pathetic. - He was really...
- He was somehow pathetic. - No, no.
It was a good experience.
I'll put effort to deliver nice music to you from now on.
- Thank you. - He was better than the last time.
Come on, he's not a patient.
I'm talking about his ability as an entertainer.
Seung Yoon was here today on behalf of...
- Kyu Hyun. - He did really well.
- He was really good today. - I saw your potentials.
His style was addictive.
- He's not discouraged. - That's right.
- I'd give him a pass. - I learned a whole lot from you.
I'm not sure when I'll get another chance,
but when there's an opportunity,
I'd like to fulfill my ambition.
All right.
Seung Yoon totally showed his potentials today.
It was nice.
Psy, the global star said...
that you'll lose if you're tired, but you'll win if you're mad.
You were never tired no matter how unfavorable the conditions were.
You've been mad to perform music all this time.
We hope you'll be remembered as the most wonderful champions.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
