Their amazing talents make people amazed.
"My Capable Men Special".
(He caught a 150cm-long yellowtail and an 88cm-long red sea bream.)
(You would've been more successful if you ran a sushi restaurant.)
(Soyou has a national beauty license.)
(I styled Highlight's hair...)
(myself.)
(She admits getting plastic surgery done?)
(She thinks all guys like her.)
(Rado composed all hit songs of Twice.)
(Dancing)
(Rado showers with water only?)
(He hardly talks about his music.)
(Park Sung Kwang has an unexpected talent as a producer.)
(I think you can go home now.)
(Shouldn't you go home now?)
(Why are you trying to send me home?)
(Everyone was curious about the incident.)
- You wanted to set things straight? - You should.
I was criticized a lot.
(My nasal bone was dislocated.)
(I bled a lot.)
(Don't you think you're being too casual about it?)
(I was in the middle of speaking.)
(Lee Tae Gon, the most patient man will explain the incident.)
("My Capable Men Special" begins now.)
Their amazing talents amaze us.
- We have four capable people here. - You should say it like this.
- That also sounds strange. - "My Capable Men Special".
- Like this. - They all sound weird.
Introducing the guests of the day.
This guy is like Midas of dramas.
He was like a persona of Im Sung Han,
but he got caught up in a fight recently.
He visited Radio Star with a hot topic.
He can be found at a fishing spot more often than on a drama set.
Capable fisherman, Lee Tae Gon.
She used to be the least popular member among Sistar,
then she rose as a girl group member with the best body figure.
She got a beauty license in middle school in order to make a living.
She styled her hair, wore makeup, and lost weight by herself.
Capable beauty artist, Soyou of Sistar.
What was that?
This person composed "Like Ooh-Ahh", "Cheer Up", and "TT".
He consecutively composed hit songs.
He may look menacing, but he's greatly concerned about his health.
He cares more about his health than composing music.
Capable composer, it's Rado of Black Eyed Victory.
He screamed "Only the first place is remembered",
but he didn't become the best comedian.
However, he even went to France and Germany with his debut work.
- Is that right? - He's a capable director.
- I never knew. - Same here.
They're very generous when it comes to movies.
- Generosity. - That's right.
They accept all kinds of work from other countries.
They even accepted him.
He wants to be remembered as the best movie director.
Capable producer, it's Park Sung Kwang.
- Hello. - Hello.
Nice to meet you, Tae Gon.
- Hello. - Hello.
The four capable people are here.
Please say hello to the viewers, Tae Gon.
Hello, I'm Lee Tae Gon.
Long time no see. Thanks for looking for me.
I'll share interesting stories and create good memories today.
- He has a nice voice. - He could host a radio show.
- He was very patient. - Soyou, please greet the viewers.
- He endured really well. - Hello, I'm Soyou of Sistar.
It's my third time on Radio Star, but I'm still nervous.
- I'll do my best. - You became very calm.
I noticed that Hyo Lyn's busy with her individual schedule.
Is that so?
She's working individually these days?
- Is she reading books? - No.
That's not what I meant.
He didn't understand what Gu Ra meant.
You're saying all random things before you join the army.
(Kyu Hyun, you're saying all random things before you join the army.)
Rado, nice to meet you. Please greet the viewers.
- I'm Rado of Black Eyed Victory. - Rado.
- He has so many hit songs. - There are about three songs.
- He specialized in Twice songs. - Twice.
He also composed our songs.
- What is it? - Rado.
He composed "Touch My Body".
- "Touch My Body". - That's a famous song.
- "I Like That". - "I Like That" as well.
- "I Like That". - He's on a roll these days.
I'm currently working on their song right now.
How is Crazy Park doing?
- Crazy Park? - There is a man called Crazy Park.
- He is a composer. - He is Crazy Kim.
(He is Crazy Kim.)
- Who is Crazy Park? - Who are you calling crazy?
There is a man called Crazy Park.
- I have never heard of him. - "Loving You".
You became startled when you heard the nickname.
I thought he was talking about me.
(Tae Gon glances over at Sung Kwang.)
(Rado glances over at Sung Kwang as well.)
Sung Kwang, please say hello.
Hello.
After not having been able to appear in an MBC program for 10 years,
I am on my fourth visit this year. I will be the son of MBC.
I am a comedian, Park Sung Kwang.
Why don't you use your catchphrase to say hello?
The dirty world only remembers first place winners!
The power of affirmation, okay, okay, Okinawa!
When you feel bad, sorry, sorry, Myanmar.
When you say goodbye, bye, bye, Dubai.
- What is this? - Were these ever popular?
- I know. - You want to make them popular.
That's not true. They are well-known among elementary schoolers.
The stream of your catchphrases is very narrow.
- Streaming? - No.
The stream.
The stream is very narrow. They are for elementary schoolers.
Adults need something as good as "Oh, my goodness."
(Gook Jin has many catchphrases.)
Tae Gon, it's your first appearance on Radio Star.
Like the master of fishing, you came with a big bait.
You will talk about your recent accident,
- which was a hot issue. - Let's hear about it right away.
- Should I talk about it right away? - Yes.
The earlier you talk about it, the more comfortable you will be.
Actor Lee Tae Gon and 2 men in their 30s...
had a brawl.
They hit Lee Tae Gon several times with their fists and feet.
What happened?
It will take all day...
to get into the details.
A guest we had last week got into the details.
(A burden has been lifted from my heart.)
The press states...
that a stranger asked for a handshake.
Then you told him to be polite.
- Isn't that what happened? - The press is wrong.
The articles said that I didn't shake his hand.
He seemed drunk,
and I had a bad feeling about it.
That's why I said, "Okay."
- I shook his hand lightly. - You shoot his hand lightly.
How did he ask for a handshake?
He shouted, "You over there!"
Realizing that it can end badly,
I decided to avoid the situation.
- Celebrities are like that. - They avoid the situation.
I should have walked away right after the handshake.
Another man in his company...
began to talk badly about me.
I told him not to treat me that way just because I am a celebrity.
I talked to him nicely,
but another man punched me in the face.
He punched you first.
- Another man punched me first. - He wasn't the one you talked to.
- It was another man. - I see.
Unfortunately, the punch hit my nasal bone.
I bled a lot.
Why were you alone? Why weren't you with acquaintances?
I heard that he was with acquaintances.
My acquaintances had left early.
- It was a chicken restaurant. - Yes, it was.
- That night... - Where did you get that?
How scary!
That night, I had a reunion.
I even know the character of the chicken restaurant.
I am pretty well-informed.
(He is like the FBI.)
One man held me...
- so that I wouldn't move. - That's right.
The others hit you while one man held you.
Two men hit me.
They do that in a fight.
I think it was my moment of decision.
- "Should I retaliate or not?" - "Should I punch them back?"
I told myself that I shouldn't do that.
I bet your hands still twitched like this.
(It's hard to hold back.)
Stop interrupting him.
- For goodness' sake. - He is only human.
- What is wrong with you? - Once he saw blood,
his hands must have twitched.
A retaliation would have made...
- my patience lose its meaning. - It becomes a two-way assault.
It would have made me...
- the assailant. - That's right.
Tae Gon could think it through since he has had these experiences.
Have you been beaten up many times?
- He has had these experiences. - I mean...
When you are young,
- you get into fights. - That's right.
- Think before you speak. - Let's bring us back to the story,
What happened afterwards?
The server at the restaurant was the witness.
The server at the chicken restaurant.
She said, "Don't hit them, Tae Gon."
"I called the police."
Eight police officers came.
You did the right thing by holding back.
You got beaten up.
- You should know... - You got beaten up.
it's extremely hard...
to gain the legitimacy of self-defense.
I asked the police officers about the criteria of self-defense.
Korean men are interested...
- in that topic. - That's right.
Let's say someone hit you once...
and stayed still.
If you strike back, it becomes a two-way assault.
I would strike back.
I would enter the fight right away.
You make it sound like you are entering a room.
I met the assailants at the prosecutor's office.
They greeted me politely.
They seemed nice.
Those types of people are nice when they don't drink.
Everyone is nice at the prosecutor's office.
- At the prosecutor's office... - Who can be rude there?
- You are right. - At the prosecutor's office,
- you bring your hands together. - That's right.
It is still on-going.
Next month, there will be a trial.
I am waiting for a verdict.
The incident made many netizens...
peg you as the master of patience.
This must have been the biggest worry of yours.
Web portals were covered in articles about the assault.
You also hurt your face, which is crucial for an actor.
I thought you even thought...
about retiring early.
I thought about running a sashimi restaurant.
- You are a fishing enthusiast. - You will serve fresh catch.
- That would be nice. - When the articles were published,
I thought, "I lost everything. I won't be able to make a comeback."
- Hence, the sashimi restaurant. - I wanted to disappear quietly...
and open a sashimi restaurant.
You would serve fish that grew in the wild.
- That would be nice. - I would serve fresh catch.
You emptied your mind after this incident.
Yes, I did. Looking at the wound on my face,
- I wasn't sure if I would recover. - Had your bones collapsed?
The left side of my nasal bone had collapsed.
- It's not noticeable. - Do I look okay?
- My nose became a bit bent. - I think the surgery went well.
Where do you want to open...
the sashimi restaurant?
Gangnam would be a nice choice.
- Gangnam. - How will he serve fresh catch?
There is no point in retiring if you open a business in Gangnam.
It's not a retirement but a serious business.
- Seriously. - He will receive investments.
You will have to travel very far to serve fresh catch.
- Seriously. - It wouldn't be possible.
- This is ridiculous. - I imagined a seclusion...
by East Sea or West Sea.
- Will you be in Samseong-dong? - Sashimi...
is tastier after an aging process.
- That's right. She knows well. - It's tastier that way.
I thought he would fish...
and sell his catch nearby.
A lot of restaurants near the sea serve fresh catch.
I wouldn't have an advantage there.
He is thinking about the profit.
He is assessing the advantage.
When I formulated plans, I even looked up...
- a live transport tank. - You gave it a lot of thoughts.
- You planned thoroughly. - Yes, I did.
It will be funny. "After his shocking retirement,"
"Lee Tae Gon opens a big sashimi restaurant in Gangnam."
It will be called "Tae Gon's".
(Tae Gon's will specialize in fish caught at the sea.)
Tae Gon is a big fan of Soyou.
- Really? - He is a big fan.
He really likes Soyou.
I heard that Tae Gon, the master of patience,
has a story behind it.
When I was filming the drama, I turned on the TV...
and Sistar was on it.
The stylists tried to change the channel,
so I said, "Don't do that. Leave it on this channel."
Watching Sistar on TV...
became a cause of blame.
Stylists become that way...
- What? - when I say I like someone.
Why do they get jealous?
- They become that way. - Do they get jealous?
- I kept on watching the TV. - They must like you very much.
Perhaps he thinks everyone likes him.
Seeing him today...
When the stylists watch the show, they might go, "He is ridiculous."
Watching the TV, I muttered to myself.
You muttered to yourself.
"Soyou stands out the most."
"She is very pretty."
- You should look at Soyou. - I can't look at her.
What did the article say...
about it?
The article read, "Tae Gon thinks Soyou is better than Hyo Lyn."
- How did that come about? - When did you say that?
- I am getting into that. - I see.
- Kyu Hyun. - He has pent-up frustration.
- Watch it. - He will only hold back once.
Do you think he will hold back many times a year?
(I am kidding.)
For goodness' sake.
As a composer,
who do you prefer...
between Hyo Lyn and Soyou?
- They are very different. - It's a difficult question.
Soyou's voice is...
half air and half sound
Because she breathes a lot, her voice is easy to listen to.
She has a voice that is suited for acoustic music.
Hyo Lyn's voice is suited for genres like rhythm and blues.
Hyo Lyn wanted to get a nose job. Did she get it done?
No, she didn't,
I was quite worried.
(He is Hyo Lyn's best friend.)
- Does Hyo Lyn announce it? - It's not like that.
- Gu Ra and Hyo Lyn... - I told her repeatedly...
not to get a nose job.
I doubt she wanted you to talk about it on TV.
- Seriously. - She did talk about it on TV.
Gu Ra told her back then not to get a nose job.
- I don't think she should get it. - Me neither.
Every time I see her picture,
I zoom in on her nose.
- She didn't get a nose job. - She didn't.
- Did she give up? - No.
Did she give up on the idea?
I think she still wants it,
but so many people around her are asking her to reconsider.
- She shouldn't get a nose job. - She has a charming face.
- That's right. - Tae Gon, you should stop her too.
- You got a nose job. - I don't know her very well.
You got a nose job.
"Don't get a nose job unless you get punched."
You should stop her.
He did that a lot. He tried to stop people who assaulted him.
(He has experiences in stopping people.)
Among members of Sistar,
I think Hyo Lyn has the most charming face.
Did Da Som get thicker hair?
(She burst out laughing.)
- Is she suffering from hair loss? - No, she has thin hair.
She has thin hair.
You even know that she has thin hair.
- How do you know everything? - I just do.
He knows the strangest things.
Soyou, you have thick hair, right?
I have healthy hair.
(I worry about you, Da Som.)
Soyou, in middle school, you worried about your future...
and got a certificate...
- in beauty services. - Yes.
You started worrying about your future at a young age.
Why did you worry about livelihood in middle school?
IMF Crisis occurred after my family moved from Jeju Island to Seoul.
My family struggled financially.
My mom had moved to Seoul first.
She ran a small pub underground. Then Typhoon Maemi came...
and her pub took a direct hit. The entire establishment...
became submerged in water. I thought,
- "I should learn a skill." - That's right.
- You aimed to lean the foundation. - I decided to give it a try...
and learned about the national certificate.
That's how I got the certificate in eighth grade.
Gook Jin put a lot of volume in his hair today, right?
- He has done it very nicely. - He answered his own question.
You will notice the volume when you see it from above.
You worked part-time at a beauty salon for three years.
- You got many rude customers. - That's right.
When I shampoo men's hair,
- some of them keep their eyes open. - They stare at your face.
I can't help but stand close to them.
- I see what you mean. - You know,
I can't shampoo hair like this.
- I can't help but stand close. - It will make a nice dance move.
I can't shampoo hair like this.
That's what I found hard.
That's why barbershop is the best.
In the barbershop, you get your hair shampooed like this.
Then a middle-aged man scrub your hair...
- with a sponge. - It's a blue sponge.
They used a blue sponge when I was little.
- It's very refreshing. - Barbershop is the best.
(He feels the most comfortable.)
When Soyou was a trainee, she did an idol singer's hair and makeup.
Who could be that idol singer?
When I was a trainee, they had a monthly assessment.
Men are not good at doing hair.
When trainees had a talent show,
- you styled everyone. - That's right.
- It's not a talent show. - It's not a talent show.
- I mean... - Don't call it a talent show.
He doesn't know because he was never a trainee.
- Should I be a trainee? - You should get some practice...
on variety shows.
(He will be the oldest trainee.)
- You did it for your colleagues. - Yes.
They are now members of Highlight.
You were with JYP Entertainment.
- No, I was with Cube Entertainment. - Cube Entertainment.
He is getting everything wrong.
Some of them are members of 4Minute now.
Monthly assessment is important.
Trainees dress up...
and wear makeup for their performances.
- That's why I did their hair. - Did you help out all members?
- Yes, I did. - When you see members of Highlight,
- do you think, "My babies"? - No.
- Don't you think that? - I don't.
When Gu Ra says "My babies", it sounds like a curse.
- Rado. - It's time to talk to Rado.
Is Rado from your province of the watch brand?
I am from Jeolla Province.
- That's why you are called Rado. - There is a watch brand.
Then your nickname could have been Gido.
- Sangdo. - Cheongdo.
It could have been Cheongdo or Wondo.
- Seoul. - It could have been Cheon.
Let's stop.
(I was having too much fun.)
Rado.
Your works include Sistar's "Touch My Body"...
and Twice's "Like Ooh-Ahh", "Cheer Up", and "TT".
He is a popular composer.
- Are there more? - What have we missed?
"Trouble Maker".
- Was it a collaboration? - I worked with another composer.
- Miss A. - "Only You".
- Did you compose that song? - What was the song?
(This is the song.)
- He composed everything. - Which one is your favorite?
Every song I made is precious.
Don't you favor a good song that didn't become a hit?
For me, that's "Only One" by Apink.
I love that song.
- This song... - He likes unpopular songs.
I am sad it didn't become a hit.
- I hope you don't like my songs. - Those in their 40s like the song.
(He can discern unpopular songs.)
You formed a group named Black Eyed Pilseung...
- with Choi Kyu Sung. - Black Eyed Pilseung.
Is Choi Kyu Sung a composer?
Yes, we are in the same team.
I see. However, you visited the show by yourself.
- We had an interview together. - Did he fail to pass it?
Yes, I was funnier.
- My goodness. - I look forward to hear him speak.
Rado doesn't have ordinary looks.
People tell me that I look like Joo Ji Hoon.
- Your eyes look like his. - They do, right?
- You are right. - Your nose looks similar too.
- As for my nose... - Did you get a nose job?
Yes. I took a picture of Joo Ji Hoon...
and got a nose job.
- Did you really get a nose job? - Yes.
This part of your face looks similar.
- Your hair looks like Shorry's. - Yes, I am the older Shorry.
(He feels like a long-lost brother.)
What did you think of Gu Ra's performance of "Cheer Up"?
(Gu Ra gave a parody performance for the last Entertainment Awards.)
(Shy, shy, shy)
(The legendary performance caused a sensation.)
- I was shocked. - Excuse me.
- I contributed in popularizing it. - No, I mean it when I say this.
I don't want to see a performance like that.
(I am sorry.)
As a composer, I feel embarrassed.
As someone who as at the scene, I agree with you.
(I hope this is a dream.)
He was the singer who sang the OST of "Boys Over Flowers".
- What was your name as a singer? - Someday.
- Someday? - Were you a solo artist?
No, The group had Hyun Hee, Won Tae, Se Hyung, and me.
- Which production company was it? - Doremi Media.
You are from Doremi Media.
- It's an old production company. - It became a part of KT Music...
before we debuted.
I enjoyed listening to Someday.
- I didn't know Rado was a member. - I loved their songs.
Would you sing a bit of the song?
(I am blinded by sunlight)
I recognize the song.
A fresh morning is here
The recorded version is better.
- Did you sing the demo? - Yes, I sing the guide.
He is fascinating.
When male composers make songs for female artists,
- they usually sing it... - They sing it in their key.
as they normally would and alter the key.
- Rado sings in the actual key. - I use falsetto.
- He sings in women's key. - Sistar's songs...
are very high-pitched.
- Even women have trouble with them. - Give us a demonstration.
He raises the key.
Please sing a medley of "Like Ooh-Ahh" and "Cheer Up"...
in a woman's voice.
- Shall I give it a try? - He is willing to do everything.
- Start with "Like Ooh-Ahh". - Okay.
(He starts with "Like Ooh-Ahh".)
(It's ticklish.)
I know the dance.
Was this the dance?
Are you playing basketball?
(It looks like a talent show.)
(Twice's cute dance of push and pull)
That's right.
I remember the dance.
(I can't believe I had to see him dance again.)
- He is good. - We will see him soon...
- on "King of Mask Singer". - He sang without the music.
He has the perfect hairstyle to wear a wig too.
(He has the perfect hairstyle to wear a wig.)
He composed "Trouble Maker".
- Did you do the whistling? - Yes, I did.
It was a nice whistle.
(Listeners are drawn in from the start...)
(by the whistling sound of "Trouble Maker".)
It was a nice whistle.
- Let us hear it. - I have a unique technique.
Most people whistle like this, but I whistle differently.
(Is he smiling?)
(Where is the sound coming from?)
Wait a minute. I recently met an expert in whistling.
- There is a celebrity expert. - Joon Park.
That's right. It was Joon Park.
- He also whistles... - He smiles.
with a smile.
That's how he does it.
It's very hard. Do you give a session for someone else's song?
Of course I do. You can call me over anytime.
I once recorded my whistling.
It falls flat even when I hear it now.
Whistle.
(Whistling)
Whistle.
That's nice.
- It sounds nasally. - He is definitely better at it.
You should have a match with Joon Park.
- He is good. - He whistles louder.
He is better at whistling.
- Is it because he grinds radishes? - That's a different man.
You mean Joon Park of god.
I have told you from the start.
- I thought it was Park Joon Hyung. - Me too.
- Me too. - It's Joon Park of god.
- I thought you meant the comedian. - Since Sung Kwang chimed in,
I thought you meant Park Joon Hyung.
(Visit Radio Star and show us your whistling skills.)
Rado has a nice teamwork...
- with female idol groups. - That's right.
You recently said,
"Twice and Sistar are..."
"the good and the bad."
Is Sistar the bad?
(Excuse me?)
It's not like that.
Are we the bad?
He said Sistar is the bad.
Why did you say that?
- When it comes to Twice... - He thinks Sistar is evil.
Will he stop working with Sistar?
Twice is like sparkling orange juice...
if I were to compare the group to a beverage.
They focus on freshness.
On the other hand, Sistar is...
like wine.
The group is like a beverage that gets you drunk.
- PG rating versus R rating. - Sistar is PG-13 rating.
- PG-13 rating. - Yes.
- They are sexy. - They are charming.
I wasn't happy when he said we are the bad,
but I now get what he meant.
The kingdom of evil. The evil side.
- Evil. - That's you.
(Laughing)
Composers of hit songs need to be born with talent.
What is going on?
- I am sorry. It's my alarm. - You should have thought about it.
(Is this when he wakes up?)
- Why did you set the alarm? - The current time is 1:30pm.
I take Chinese lessons at this hour.
Shouldn't you go?
Why are you trying to send me away?
I think you have done enough for the shoot.
Your Chinese lesson?
He hasn't even started talking.
(Don't make me leave.)
Sung Kwang debuted as a director with "Curse".
Does it mean greed...
- or an offensive word? - An offensive word.
- You mean like the one Gu Ra uses. - That's right.
You curse a lot too.
- You are the icon. - You're the best at it.
(Laughing)
Is it a short film?
It was for Extreme-Short Image and Film Festival.
- It can't be longer than 5 minutes. - It was a 5-minute film?
The film was recognized and was even sold to France and Germany.
- Which company bought your film? - Did you submit it to a festival?
I submitted the film to a subway film festival.
In Germany, since the subway passengers...
get bored, they put on films underground.
- They put on that five-minute film? - My film made it to the festival.
- What was the name of the festival? - What festival was it?
- He's questioning everything. - Was it a subway film festival?
- It was something similar to that. - You don't remember it though.
What is the plot? Do actors just curse on scene?
- Are all the lines swear words? - No.
Many people would like to curse, but they can't bring themselves to it.
I wanted to cast a famous celebrity...
so that person could listen to other people swearing.
- Who did you cast? - Who was it?
I made a lot of calls.
- I called Jung Ryeo Won. - She probably rejected the offer.
- I called Sung Yu Ri. - She probably rejected it too.
(All of the famous celebrities rejected his offer.)
- So what happened? - So who starred in your film?
I did.
- I knew it. - It's because...
- I saw it coming. - It's because...
the deadline was approaching, but I couldn't get anyone.
I had no choice, so I starred in my film.
You should have contacted me.
- You probably would've rejected. - No.
Son Hun Su said he was going to film a movie too.
I agreed to star on his film although we weren't that close.
- Really? - He wrapped me up with duct tape.
I told him to do his thing.
- Star in my next film then. - You majored in theater and film?
- I didn't know. - I majored in theater and film.
He's diligently working on his project.
He directed a film for Busan International Film Festival.
- Yes, I did. - "It's Sad Although It's Not Sad."
- "It's Sad Because It's Not Sad." - For this film...
- Did you direct this film? - Yes, I worked on the script too.
- How long is the film? - 30 minutes.
- How big was the budget? - About 65,000 dollars.
I used my private fund, but I got contributions from other people.
- For your project, - That's nice.
I heard a lot of senior comedians contributed to your project.
Song Eun I and Kim Young Chul contributed to my film.
- Young Chul did? - How much did they donate?
Eun I helped me first since she knew independent films can be difficult.
Gosh, she is the godmother to every comedian.
- She sure is a kindhearted person. - I didn't even tell her.
- She is the godmother of all. - Right.
She heard about my independent film from Young Chul.
Eun I gave me 1,000 dollars so that I could buy a meal for the crew.
- 1,000 dollars? - Yes, it was for a meal.
I know it's not a lot...
- Don't look so disappointed. - Why didn't you tell Gu Ra?
- I even said she was a godmother. - She bought them a meal.
I called her the godmother.
I was flustered and had a feeling I shouldn't reveal the amount.
(He somehow feels embarrassed.)
- It's still amazing. - 1,000 dollars...
- Of course. - She deserves to be praised for it.
- She is so generous. - How much did Young Chul donate?
- So I... - Did he donate 500 dollars?
I think he only donated 300 dollars.
I posted it online.
- There were articles about that. - It's like a money gift.
One of the comments said, "Why isn't Young Chul donating as well?"
The next day, he wired 2,000 dollars to my account.
- 2,000 dollars? - And then...
he wanted to brag about it.
He asked why I didn't upload a post about him. He asked me to do so.
- You want to pay him back? - Yes.
I'd like to change the bills into coins and throw them at his face.
(I'd like to change the bills into coins and throw them at his face.)
(He's joking.)
- His seniors helped him out. - I was so thankful.
All my comedian seniors were proud of me for challenging myself.
They didn't want me to be belittled.
I'd like to watch the film.
Sung Kwang, I tried to help you openly and secretly.
I wasn't going to share this story.
You run a restaurant in Nonhyeon-dong, don't you?
- Yes, I do. - Have you been there?
One of my seniors runs a jokbal restaurant in that neighborhood.
It's quite popular.
- I think I know which one it is. - You do probably.
So I told him to send some customers over...
to Sung Kwang's restaurant when his restaurant is busy.
- Seriously? - Wait.
- Were there customers from him? - Would customers go there?
- I don't think so. - I don't think they'd go to his.
Don't secretly help him out. Just give him money openly.
(I will look forward to it.)
I suppose you are in need of actors and actresses,
but you made this statement.
"I will not cast Tae Gon for my film."
This is what you said.
- He said that? - He did.
- Do you know each other? - This is my first time meeting him.
It is?
What? We talked over the phone once.
When?
Three months ago, we talked over the phone at night.
We did?
(That's news to him.)
You don't remember? So that's why you talked to me with honorifics.
On the phone, you talked to me so casually.
"Hey, Sung Kwang. We should meet. Where are you?"
- "Let's meet up." That was me. - That was you?
(He is nonexistent to Tae Gon.)
- What's up with him? - Sung Kwang...
What's going on here?
- Whom did you think he was then? - He said his name was Sung Kwang.
- So I just pretended I knew him. - You thought he was your junior?
(All of a sudden, he turned into an ordinary person.)
- He thought you weren't famous. - You were like someone he knew.
When he said his name, I couldn't remember his name.
- I pretended to know him. - That was why.
He said, "Okay" about 15 times.
"Okay, okay. Where are you?"
I said I was at home, but he asked me that four times.
- He was trying to remember me. - After that, you met today?
- You should make this into a film. - Sure.
- The reason I said that is... - Why do you disapprove of him?
Well, I am the director.
(He's hesitant.)
But I feel like I can't make him do what I want.
- It's your prejudice against me. - I think...
Since I don't know him too well, I thought he could be a bit scary.
- This is why prejudice is scary. - It could be my prejudice.
I was misjudged many times.
I think actors should only focus on acting and be true to his feelings.
Directors will take care of the filming.
Would you star in this film though?
No.
- He won't star in your film. - Is that so?
- I see. - You're better off fishing.
- This is a win-win situation. - Exactly.
- He won't accept your offer. - You won't offer him the job.
- This turned out nicely. - You disapprove of each other.
(Clutching hard)
You grabbed my hand rather too hard.
(He's kidding.)
By the way, what happened with the tuna advertisement?
He said he likes fishing. Didn't you do a tuna commercial recently?
- I did a long time ago. - You did.
- Something is off between you two. - It was a year and a half ago.
Was it a year and a half ago?
You are quite interested in Tae Gon.
He knows a lot about me. I am quite surprised.
- I was supposed to be in it. - Really?
He ended up filming it.
The offer probably went to many people.
- I heard he'd be doing it. - You didn't get it anyway.
- Oh, right. I heard about that. - What?
(Why is his response so slow?)
I was originally offered the commercial.
We didn't agree on some conditions.
What conditions? I agreed on every condition.
- The conditions were perfect. - We didn't agree on some,
- I agreed on all of them. - but I heard...
- if I don't film it... - Sung Kwang would do it?
- Yes, I heard that. - And then?
- It's all right if I don't film it, - But he's not right for the job?
but I thought he wasn't suitable for it.
It seems...
- you two are ill-fated. - We are indeed.
- How could this have happened? - I didn't think badly of him.
Don't you think you held a prejudice against him?
- Isn't that prejudice? - It is.
- So did you end up filming it? - Yes, I did.
- He filmed it. - It's better that you did it.
- "I will just do it." - "I will just do it."
For what products will I be suitable then?
I think beverages or fried chicken will match your image well.
You didn't put any thought into it, did you?
(It's a misunderstanding. I think you will be great for them.)
You can't live without fishing. You're the king of fishing, Tae Gon.
I heard you spent quite a large sum of money just on fishing.
That's correct. At first, I spent about 30,000 dollars on equipment.
How can you spend all that money?
There are different kinds of fishing rods.
There are soft, hard, and semi-hard rods. They come in different sizes.
The more you know, the more you get confused.
- Just like golf clubs, you bring... - Of course.
- all kinds of fishing rods? - Of course, he does.
Right, I do bring all my equipment.
How often do you fish?
If time allows,
- I fish 200 days a year. - 200 days?
Since you fish often,
- you have your own records. - Exactly. You must.
Are they your own fishing records?
- Every fishing enthusiast has it. - Let's hear your records.
I caught a red sea bream as long as 88cm.
- Its length was 88cm. - An 88cm-long red sea bream.
- Its head was as big as this. - How big is that?
You know how its head is served at a Japanese restaurant, right?
- That's about 40cm long. - 40cm long? All right.
How long did it take...
- for you to pull it up? - It took me about 20 minutes.
- You had to wrestle with the fish. - Right.
- You were trying to make it tired. - You're right.
To put it simply, it's hard for us to run with a tire on our back.
I'm doing that to the fish.
Since the string is thin, I wind the string and then unwind.
I have a question.
Is it impossible for an amateur to catch an 88cm-long fish?
- Is it impossible? - No, it's possible.
- So amateurs can catch it? - That's why fishing is fun.
But they can't pull it up though.
- They would keep pulling. - Is it because they're weak?
As soon as they pull, it will be cut.
- The person will be hurt? - No, the string will be cut.
Oh, the string.
- You two don't get along well. - The string will be cut.
(He's frightened.)
(Laughing)
- I got a 105cm-long yellow tail. - A 105cm-long yellow tail.
It was a meter and 5cm?
- Yellow tails are delicious. - That must be long.
- How long did it take? - It took me about...
- 25 to 30 minutes to catch it. - I guess strength is important.
- You don't use the scooping net? - We use it at the end.
I have to make the fish breathe in the air twice.
The fish can look at us.
The fish can look at us? No way.
They have eyes too.
- They have eyes. - You...
They have to see for them to take the bait.
- Tae Gon, the fish looked at you? - He is holding...
- grudges against you. Be careful. - Is that so? I'm sorry.
- The angle... - He only holds back his anger once.
(He feels scared all of a sudden.)
- Shall we look at fish he caught? - Let's see.
- You have the photos? - We get to see them at last.
(The first photo is revealed.)
- Let's see. - Who is that?
Of course, it's Tae Gon. Who else would it be?
- Who else would it be? - If you see it from here...
- This is Tae Gon. - Would we bring out someone else's?
Excuse me.
- This is his photo. - I thought it was Lee Seung Yeop.
Doesn't he resemble Seung Yeop, the baseball player?
- The length of the fish is 65cm. - What kind of fish is this?
- What is it? - It's a giant grouper.
For how many people will this be enough to eat?
- It will be enough for 10 people. - 10 people?
It's quite a big portion.
(The second photo is revealed.)
- What is this? - Who is that?
- Is that a tuna? - This is Tae Gon.
- That's Tae Gon again? - Yes, it's him.
Doesn't he look different?
- I think it's a different person. - In my opinion...
- Who else would it be? - What kind of fish is that?
- Was this in Southeast Asia? - Weren't we looking at the fish?
I caught this fish...
- by trolling in Guam. - This was in Guam?
- What kind of fish is that? - It's a type of spearfish.
- Spearfish? - The next one is...
(The last photo is revealed.)
- This is the red sea bream. - Is it there?
This is the 65cm-long red sea bream.
- This is amazing. - It must have been a hard battle.
- Don't I look tired? - You look exhausted.
- His eyes look so tired. - Tae Gon's head is as big as this.
- That is massive. - Look at its body.
To make it look bigger,
- you can hold out the fish. - That's right.
If the catcher's arms are stretched, then it's cheating.
If the fish is really huge, they just hold it by its tail.
Right, they do.
We can just hold the photo sideway.
We can also take the photo holding the tail.
If you do that, Tae Gon is standing horizontally. My goodness.
- I'm focusing on the fish. - I can't believe him.
- What is up with him? - The person isn't important.
- Even Kyu Hyun is frustrated. - Just look at the fish.
He's about to get enlisted.
- He's skeptical if we will survive. - We will be okay.
(He will worry about them even in the army.)
Tae Gon,
your sense of pride about fishing is quite big.
You made this statement...
that the fish you caught are sent by the universe.
We dare say that they are celestial fish.
Lim Ho mentioned he and his wife couldn't conceive their third child.
- That's what Ho said? - Yes.
He kept mentioning that during the shoot.
He circled around me and said that.
So I went fishing.
- I caught a rock sea bream. - A rock sea bream?
The market price for a 30cm-long rock sea bream can...
- be as expensive as 300 dollars. - I see.
I gave the fish to him.
I told him to boil the whole fish like he cooks the beef bone soup.
I told him to have the soup every day.
In less than a month, they conceived their third child.
- The fish was really divine. - Yes.
- Did they give birth to the child? - Gosh.
Yes. The child is growing up well.
- I see. - Yes.
Gook Jin seems to be losing his energy nowadays.
I think you should have some. You're in love after all.
That's what I meant. He seems to be losing energy.
- Why don't you catch me one too? - Sure.
Imagine Susie fishing at the sea.
Sung Kwang, you are starring...
on our show for the first time as a director.
I didn't know you were one.
Park Na Rae got famous after starring on our show...
- for being a habitual drinker. - Right.
- Are you the first victim of her? - Really?
I heard you were a bit disappointed that she only talked about...
- Yang Se Chan and Yang Se Hyung. - You were the real victim though.
Just like how psychopaths have their first acts of crime,
- I was the first victim. - Is that so?
Na Rae debuted as a comedian before I did.
I debuted a year after she did.
She called me to come out late at night.
- Na Rae called you? - Yes.
She was my senior, so I couldn't exactly refuse.
It was when Kwon Jae Kwan...
and Kim Kyoung Ah were dating.
- I guess Na Rae was with them. - I see.
So I guess she felt like the third wheel...
and called me.
- She wanted you to get her out. - I guess so.
When I went there, the couple went somewhere.
Jae Kwan and Kyoung Ah left.
- It was just the two of you? - It was just you and her.
It was just the two of us. She kept offering me drinks.
All of a sudden, she said she wouldn't go home.
Is that...
- how the legend started? - Yes.
That was before her reputation became public.
- Yes, it was before that. - She didn't want to go home.
- That's how her reputation began. - Exactly.
("Park Na Rae Begins")
Since you were both young comedians, you...
- could've thought she liked you. - That's right.
Since she was my senior after all, I put her on my back.
I asked where her house was, so I could take her home.
She said she wouldn't go and she didn't know where her house was.
- She didn't know? - She didn't know where it was.
- We drank near her house. - But she didn't know?
Kyoung Ah picked up my calls a few times,
but Jae Kwan told her not to answer and she hung up.
- You called them? - They didn't answer my calls.
I kept looking for her house trying to figure out which one it was.
We finished drinking around 3am, but I carried her until 8am.
I saw primary school students going to school.
You carried her on your back for five hours?
- Don't lie. - I'm not lying.
I did take a break. I took a break once.
- You only took a break once? - I rested once.
I really carried her on my back around her house.
I ended up dropping the honorifics when I talked to her.
I asked, "Hey, where is your house?" But I couldn't take it anymore.
I left her among the primary school students going to school.
I left her there,
- hid behind a truck, and watched. - You were watching.
I wanted to get to the bottom of it.
After lying there for 15 minutes...
Just like Keyser Soze,
she slowly got up.
She looked around and...
(She dusted off her clothes.)
- Then she walked home. - Is this true?
Yes, this is true.
(Her legs were fine.)
Goodness, it's unbelievable.
- She was pretending to be drunk? - Yes!
I got goosebumps.
She walked home right away. She turned right and that was her house.
That's when her habit started to come to light.
What I feel disappointed about is...
that it all started with me.
Yet, she only mentioned Se Chan and Se Hyung.
She likes them.
Na Rae likes them...
while she was just playing with you.
- Do you understand what I mean? - Just playing with me?
She just had fun for a day.
She likes Se Chan and Se Hyung.
- Did victims start to pile up then? - Yes.
Countless victims started to spring up.
(Sung Kwang, I won't let you off easy!)
Sung Kwang, you were on "Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time",
"Poseidon", and "Store Struck by Lightning".
You are a seasoned actor.
- He is a good actor. - I was on "Lucky Romance" too.
Did you give advice to a film actor,
Kwak Do Won?
- Did it happen during the film? - Did you really do that?
I am really sorry. I really wanted to apologize about this.
I filmed a children's drama. I filmed it in 2009.
I was the leading actor and the opposing role was 11 years old.
I was playing a kid too.
I was a couple with a 11-year old girl.
- I bet you looked good together. - We were a couple.
Do Won played the father of the girl.
That was before he got famous?
Yes, it was before his success.
It was a children's drama, but he...
- He was too serious. - Yes, like he was in "The Wailing".
His voice tone was low-pitched.
He sounded too scary.
- Give us an example. - I...
"So Yeon, you can't do that."
"Get out right now. Get out."
- Instead of this, - It was a children's drama.
he should've said, "Get out now. You can't do that."
But his voice was too low. I told him since it was a children's drama,
I asked him to lighten up.
I told him not to act in that manner.
He's really nice though.
So he said that he was sorry and he would change his tone.
- What happened afterwards? - Afterwards,
I starred on "Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time".
- Which scene? - What was your role?
- I'm really curious now. - You did?
I showed up in the ending scene.
It was when Choi Min Sik got old...
- He was just in the party. - It was in the party.
Who hosted the baby's first birthday party?
- I hosted it. - Right. You did.
- That was you? - We can't call that acting.
- It is acting. - How can that be acting?
- I had lines too. - That can't be considered acting.
I had a long talk with the director as well.
- It's considered acting. - I had my own character too.
- I see. - Was Do Won in the scene too?
- No, he wasn't. - He wasn't in the scene.
Since it was the last scene, the whole cast gathered.
- I remember that scene. - They were there for a party.
Do Won came when we filmed the last scene and I said hello.
He said hi to me too and I asked him if he was in the film too.
He said that he had a small role.
I assumed he had a minor role. I told him to keep it up...
and that I would see him later.
When I went to the preview,
- Didn't he have a big role? - I found out he had a huge role...
while I only showed up for a bit at the end.
I wanted to apologize,
- but I didn't have a chance. - You never met afterwards, right?
After I watched him in other films,
I realized that I must have been insane when I said those things.
(I was really sorry back then.)
- You acted with Choi Si Won, right? - As long as you apologized.
- With Si Won? - Si Won...
- Was it in "Poseidon"? - Yes.
It was my very first drama.
At that time, I didn't know a lot about him.
I was quite taken aback with his exaggerated gestures.
- His gestures? - Yes, they were just over the top.
He played my older brother and I had to almost wail in that scene.
He was to comfort me in that scene.
So I managed to cry in front of him.
The director approved of the scene.
All of a sudden, Si Won told the staff,
"Right now, the actor is focused."
"He won't be able to get out of his character easily."
- "Quiet." - But you were okay though.
I was fine though.
"Actors can't get out their characters easily."
"Leave him alone until he seeks you."
(Si Won is unbelievable.)
After that, he hugged me.
He said, "Good job."
(Well done.)
Soyou, a lot of people compliment your...
natural beauty,
but you are not beautiful nor your beauty is natural.
- Did you get surgery done? - It's not true?
On which part of my face do you think I had plastic surgery done?
- Eyes and nose. - Nose.
- Eyes and nose? - Nose.
- Nose? Eyes and nose? - I think the same.
- I think it's only your nose. - Me too.
Nose. For your eyes,
I'm not sure, but I'm sure about your nose.
- You're not sure. - Since you said you've done it...
- That's right. - Your nose.
I got it done on the tip of my nose before my debut.
- You did? - What do they do for the tip?
- They put something small here. - They put something inside.
- Something at the tip only? - My agency doesn't want me...
to say it because you can't tell the difference before...
and after the surgery.
- You're blessed. - I look just like my sister,
so people know that we're siblings right away.
Many people comment online that I got plastic surgery done on my eyes,
got a nose job or that I got a breast implant.
They say that I inserted something in my hips.
There are so many comments like that.
When some people get surgeries done, they make their sisters...
- do them as well. - Really?
- To get away from suspicion? - Right.
What the doctor said is... I'm not happy with my lips.
- Why? - I have a really small mouth,
so I even asked if there's a surgery to make my mouth bigger.
- You have to stretch it like this. - There is. It's not tearing it.
It's called oral angle surgery.
But then, your mouth will keep smiling even when you're crying.
You'll become Joker with that.
Crying while smiling is the hardest kind of acting.
(I won't do it.)
I heard your sister...
isn't happy with you becoming more popular.
We looked so much alike since we were young.
- You're of similar height as well. - Yes.
My sister runs a coffee shop. A customer would...
mistake her for me.
"Does Soyou of Sistar run this coffee shop?"
When my sister's at the cash register, the person would come...
(Customers think if she's Soyou or not.)
Then, I'd open the door and enter.
(There are two of you?)
- He was confused. - That was like a dance.
- They look a lot like each other. - He was flustered.
There's dance at that coffee shop.
Let's see how much they resemble each other.
- It's... - I'm really curious.
Your sister...
- Is she your sister? - Isn't it her sister on the right?
- Isn't that Ha Soo Bin? - This is your sister, right?
- Yes, that's her. - This is your sister.
- Who is this? - Me.
- It's Soyou. - It's Soyou?
- It doesn't look like you. - It's Soyou?
- Your nose looks a bit different. - Don't lie.
- It's when I lost a lot of weight. - It doesn't look like you.
Your sister has a very small mouth.
- I think it's smaller than mine. - Well...
Who in your family has a small mouth?
- My mom does. - I see.
She wouldn't be able to eat with a spoon like that.
- What? - No.
- She should eat with her hands. - With a straw.
Here's the second picture.
- They both have small mouths. - They look just like each other.
- It's your sister, right? - Yes.
- I guessed right. - You look just like each other.
People will think that you're twins.
Your mouths are so small.
Your sister's mouth is much smaller.
Soyou is a beauty expert, and she's also talented in losing weight.
Soyou used to deadlift 80kg.
- When I worked out a lot before, - 80kg.
80kg was the heaviest I could lift.
- It's hard for men too. - You showed off your strength too.
Everyone from the agency had a team gathering.
We all mixed our alcoholic drinks.
- I... - What an expression.
- Your agency... - It's a technical term.
- It's a technical term. - We mix our drinks.
I was making a soju-beer cocktail.
You know how the foam rises when you stir the drink with chopsticks?
- I really wanted to try that. - With chopsticks.
- This is what you wanted to do? - Yes, so...
- I did that and... - The glass broke?
No, I made a hole through the glass.
I saw many people who broke...
glasses from doing that.
Women are good at breaking them.
Without knowing that the glass broke, I raised the glass...
- and the alcohol got leaked. - I'm serious. I saw it often.
I'm serious.
(I'll make a refreshing cocktail for you this summer.)
Sung Kwang is confident with the strength of his thighs.
- Is that so? - Do a thigh wrestle with Kyu Hyun.
- Let's see. - In fact, he has...
- a lot of muscles with a six pack. - He does?
You know,
- Sung Kwang is actually not weak. - What I'm saying is...
that Kyu Hyun is unexpectedly strong.
- Is that so? - Kyu Hyun a has strong lower body.
- He's strong. - He needs to be trained soon.
- I... - That's right.
You'll have to go through PT exercise and all.
You should show all your skills on air before you join the army.
- Men's adductor muscle... - Adductor muscle.
There are lymphatic glands around adductor muscle.
- It's important for men. - Good.
- He's actually quite muscular. - Who will take the inner position?
- We should decide first. - They can take turns.
It's actually not that important. Let's see.
- It's firm. It's very firm. - It tickles.
It's soft. I don't think you'll win.
- I don't think you stand a chance. - The inner muscles are important.
- How should we do it? - Which side do you want to take?
- Kyu Hyun can tighten first. - Do as you wish.
- Do you work out? - One person can push outwards...
- and the other can tighten. - You don't work out?
Okay. In 1, 2, 3.
In 2, 3.
(The game starts.)
- He's strong. - He is?
He's strong.
Kyu Hyun seems so relaxed.
- All right. - Go, go.
(I'm still going to win.)
(I won't lose.)
Push inwards like clicking castanets.
Click castanets.
- Castanets. - My goodness.
He's strong.
Castanets.
- It's over. - Switch.
- Switch. - Kyu Hyun will take the inside now.
(They'll switch to determine the winner.)
Sung Kwang is...
- strong. - That's not it.
You have to tighten your legs now. This is the important round.
He's trying so hard.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Gosh, he's strong. - A bit more.
(He clenches his teeth.)
He's strong.
Kyu Hyun is weak.
- Kyu Hyun's weak. He lacks power. - Sung Kwang is strong.
I'm worried for him.
Kyu Hyun is in trouble.
Kyu Hyun is weak.
- Kyu Hyun... - In 1, 2, 3...
(Kyu Hyun's legs are put closer to one another.)
- Sung Kwang. - That's enough.
- He's weak. He's so weak. - No, Sung Kwang is strong.
- Sung Kwang is strong. - He's strong.
Let's have a match between Gu Ra and Tae Gon.
- Try. - I can't, I can't.
- Gu Ra. - No, no.
- Why not? - No, no.
- Give it a try. - No, no.
- No, no. - You made me do it.
- Come on. - No, no.
- You know, I'm weak. - Save it.
- I'm weak. - They're about the same height.
- They're of the same weight class. - Tae Gon.
- I've never done it before. - Let's not overstrain ourselves.
- You can fish, and I'll golf. - Exactly.
We don't have to do this.
- You talk too much. - You'll do your best anyway.
- Do I widen my legs? - Yes.
I'll play defense.
Ready, go!
Tae Gon, let's play in peace.
Tae Gon. Come on.
- You can just fish. - He's strong.
- He's strong. - You can fish.
- My gosh. - Push hard at once.
- Tae Gon is weak. - My body doesn't cope with my mind.
- Do it the other way around. - The other way around.
- Let's play in peace. - I'm disappointed in you.
Come on, what's wrong with you?
- I'm disappointed. - You're not patient.
- You're just not good at fighting. - That's right.
- You're not good at fighting. - I weigh 100kg.
- Still, he's got muscles. - Gu Ra is strong.
- He's struggling. - I think I can win.
- Open your legs a bit. - Like this.
- Ready... - I might lose.
- Widen your legs a bit. - Widen them a bit.
- Tae Gon... - Give me some space.
- He's 50 years old. - Exactly.
- Give me some space. - You're quite cunning.
All right. Ready, go.
My gosh. He's quite strong.
- This is easier. - He's got endurance.
- He's good. - This is easy.
(Gu Ra's legs became narrower than ever.)
He's weak when it comes to pushing outwards.
- I already lost. - Pushing outwards is my expertise.
- It's because... - That proves men's strength.
- The strength required at night. - All right.
Look at his ears.
Look at his ears now.
- He said he wouldn't do his best. - No way.
That's not it.
- They're both weak. - They're both weak.
They're both weak. My gosh.
- It's because... - What a waste of time.
Gu Ra is single, so he shouldn't lose.
- Exactly. - Since Gu Ra is single...
If Gook Jin plays against me,
his knees might get shattered.
Hey, come on out.
- Gu Ra. - Don't. Don't do that.
You don't know me.
If Gu Ra can compete against Tae Gon like this, he is also strong.
- That's not it. - I also work out a bit.
- Gu Ra's supposed to speak next. - Not a problem.
Your nose is sweating so much.
Gu Ra put every ounce of his energy.
Tae Gon sweated a lot.
He sweated so much.
He sweated so much here.
- My gosh. - I thought you'd play casually.
(When victory is at stake, I become a man.)
Tae Gon's done a lot of part-time jobs.
What does it mean by being "Big Hand of Apgujeong's pubs"?
Square-like pubs were popular back then.
- There were many famous ones. - Yes, I remember.
It was right before joining the army.
I saw a job posting for part-timers...
at 600 dollars per month.
I went in.
The owner was a woman. When she saw me, she said "Can you start today?"
I started working that day.
There were about 30 to 40 tables, and there was nobody...
- even though it was a huge venue. - The business was bad.
The business was bad.
On a quiet day, the restaurant's sales were under 100 dollars.
There was a karaoke once you open the back door.
You could sing 1 hour for free with an order of 50 dollars,
but there were still no customers.
I was upset about it, so I asked her to give me 100 dollars.
She asked why and I told her that she could deduct it from...
- my paycheck if it doesn't go well. - I see.
She told me to do whatever I want.
There was a fast food restaurant next door. I got two speakers...
and connected the cables to play popular club music.
We started getting some young customers because of the music.
- You promoted the pub. - Then, I...
gave a half-liter beer for those who ordered 2L beer.
- You did that arbitrarily? - Yes.
For those who ordered pork cutlet, I gave fries for free.
- As a complimentary dish. - I see.
We gradually got more customers, and they filled all 30 tables.
- More people started come. - I see.
Then the sales went up to 4,000 dollars per day.
- From less than 100 dollars. - That's a lot for a day.
It was amazing.
We had to place an order for more alcohol because we ran out.
- Only due to that sales gimmick? - With that only.
It's also because Tae Gon is handsome.
I was in charge of the cash register.
If the bill was 23 dollars, I took 3 dollars off from it.
Did the owner hide under the cash register then?
She didn't even come to the restaurant.
- She told me to do whatever I want. - She let you do everything.
- It was because... - The business was good.
A pub in competition with ours...
approached me while pretending to be a customer.
"How much do you get paid?"
(He was on a roll.)
"Excuse me?"
"How much do you get paid here?"
"600 dollars per month."
"That's too little."
"I'm the owner of the pub across the street."
- "I'll give you 1,000 dollars." - "I'll give you 1,200 dollars."
(She offered to double his paycheck.)
Back then, 1,200 dollars was a lot of money.
I was almost swayed.
- That's why... - You should've asked for shares.
- "Shares". - I made a deal.
He made a deal indeed.
- He learned much of the world soon. - I told her.
"Give me 800 dollars..."
"and 10 percent of the tables with a bill over 200 dollars."
- There's no reason to turn it down. - Exactly.
- They made 3,000, 4,000 dollars. - In a day.
After working there,
I really wanted to take over that pub...
because the business was so good.
However, I had already been drafted.
I had to join the army, so I quit.
He would've been successful if he ran a sashimi restaurant.
- He'd be very successful. - I'm highly confident.
- He should run a restaurant. - He should've run a sashimi bar.
If his story about fishing continues to his sashimi bar business,
- it'd be incredible. - Exactly.
I'm working on it right now.
- I think he'll do it one day. - I don't know when it'll open.
It sounds like he'll change his career to a sashimi bar owner.
All this could be advanced marketing tactics.
- That's what he initially wanted. - I think he'll be very good.
- He'll do it now. - What a businessman you are.
- That was his big picture. - I'll fillet raw fish myself.
(I'll give you some complimentary food then.)
- You were a swimming instructor. - He was famous.
You captivated women's hearts with your mesh swimsuit.
- The front part was mesh? - A mesh swimsuit.
- The front part was mesh? - The back...
How can you wear a swimsuit that's made of mesh on the front?
(He laughs.)
- The back was made of mesh. - The back was made of mesh.
- Front mesh would be troublesome. - It can't be mesh on the front.
You can see the hips if the back is made of mesh?
- No. - You can't?
It's see-through when you see it, but when you wear it, you can't.
I see. The stitches are very fine.
Some rip their swimsuits by kicking too hard when they do breaststroke.
(Mesh can be ripped if you swim too aggressively.)
- I can't imagine. - It's where the water drains.
- I thought of loose mesh. - That's what we thought.
An instructor with mesh swimsuit would be popular though, right?
- "Lee Tae Gon with mesh swimsuit". - Exactly.
(The class will be very popular.)
What did you do to captivate your students?
When I teach four different swimming strokes,
each swimming pool has its own policy.
- They tell me not to make... - Exactly. That's right.
too much progress to keep the students.
Did you hear the way he said it? He knows how to do business.
When I get one to master freestyle, they leave afterwards.
If one learns to raise her arm, she won't fold it until the next month.
I didn't like that.
I thought that was cheap.
I got my students to master a stroke in three months.
In exchange, I need to be very intimate with my students.
- To get them to improve soon. - They must be held to improve.
- The same goes for golf. - That's right.
There was an official document sent from the swimming federation...
telling the instructors not to make physical contact with the students.
- The students. - The students.
There was an issue with sexual harassment at another pool,
so we had to use a stick that looks like a butterfly net.
- A butterfly net? - Like this?
When students swim, using the long stick,
instructors would hit them if they're not swimming right.
If something's wrong with their arms,
- they'd hit with the stick. - That would feel bad.
- It'd feel horrible. - How inhumane.
Then the students stopped improving.
What if they fell into the water? Can you still not touch them?
When they fall into the water, I'll go save them.
- Why did you cut in suddenly? - I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry.)
- I knew I made a mistake. - You suddenly...
- Did the students do nothing? - The students...
- They must've spoken up. - They spoke up voluntarily.
- "This isn't right." - "This is wrong."
About a month or two later, it went back to the way it was.
- They're eager to improve soon. - Exactly.
I taught quickly. Later on,
I had over 50 students.
(He taught 50 students for a class of 25.)
(Teach us swimming, Tae Gon.)
When Tae Gon was in "Gwanggaeto, The Great Conqueror",
he got the spirit of Gwanggaeto and everything went smoothly.
Working so hard for "Gwanggaeto, The Great Conqueror",
I think I went overboard often.
Korean-style houses have tall thresholds.
- Yes. - The thresholds.
It's about this tall.
It was a scene where I had to jump over it.
Instead of jumping over the threshold,
- I tripped over it slightly. - You tripped over.
I rolled over...
and unfortunately sat on my own leg.
About three ligaments were torn.
You know the tombstone of Gwanggaeto?
I went there with a bottle of makgeolli.
My hair was long, and I had beard as well.
I was looking at the statue alone with a cast on my leg.
Since I was standing like that,
the ladies from the restaurants nearby came wondering who I was.
I was praying at the time.
"I'm working so hard to play your role. Why make me get hurt?"
- To King Gwanggaeto? - "Look what you've done to me."
I read over the words written on the tombstone again.
Then I went to fight at the war.
How would "Gwanggaeto Sashimi Bar" be for your sashimi restaurant?
- Your sashimi restaurant... - That's too dull.
Who would name a sashimi restaurant as "Gwanggaeto Sashimi Bar"?
- "Gwanggaeto Sashimi Bar"? - What a bizarre name...
- for a sashimi restaurant. - A barbecue place has that name.
- It's not bad. - That name is just...
- You'd attach a moustache. - It doesn't suit raw fish.
- Fillet raw fish with a big sword. - Like this.
(Excited)
(Welcome to Gwanggaeto Sashimi Bar.)
- Rado, do you have hypochondria? - I do.
You don't do anything that's harmful for health.
You care about your health extremely.
My friend gets checkups every six month.
Please breathe.
(You should breathe.)
Are you a health maniac? What do you take?
- I take gongjindan when I get up. - Gongjindan.
- One gongjindan when you get up. - I take gongjindan.
- Then I have detoxifying juice. - That's pretty nice.
- I eat deer antlers. - Deer antlers.
- I take turmeric as well. - Turmeric.
- Turmeric's nice. - I make tea and always drink it.
- You do it after making money. - That's right.
- You want to keep your health. - You need money for that.
- "I better not lose my health." - "I better not lose my health."
- Have you lost consciousness? - I have.
- You've fainted. - There was MAMA this year.
I fainted in the plane to Hong Kong.
The flight arrived an hour and a half late because of me.
- Really? - Long ago,
I didn't have money to buy speakers for my monitor.
My cochlea was damaged...
- It'll hurt your ears. - from working with earphones only.
I fainted whenever I drank alcohol.
Didn't you faint because of your continuous hit songs?
That too.
(I made a good decision to become a composer.)
Was it tough before your songs became a hit?
I'm sure it was tough.
I used to live on a rooftop house.
I struggled a lot back then.
When I was part of the group "Someday",
members would each take 200 dollars for an 800-dollar performance fee.
I'd sustain my living with that for a month.
I had no side dishes to eat.
I'd buy 10 dollars worth of food and have ramyeon.
Most celebrities have such history.
I see.
How could you say that...
to a person who shared such story? "Everyone has such history."
- It's not something special. - He didn't say that.
- Same here. - Of course.
- When I lived on the rooftop house, - Of course.
I had a girlfriend.
I learned later that she was from a really rich family.
- No way. - I'm serious.
I've heard it too.
- I've heard it. - I see.
I made 150 dollars per month back then.
Even if she pays for the meal,
I'd have to buy coffee once.
Even that was tough because I didn't have enough money.
The day when I was supposed to meet her,
- gas, electricity, - They were all cut off.
and even water was cut off.
I couldn't go see her.
She called me. "Why aren't you coming?"
"Let's break up."
"There's no gas, electricity, or water at my place."
"What kind of house has no gas, electricity, and water?"
- That may be possible. - "Just say that you don't like me."
"Just tell me that you want to break up." She didn't get it.
I told her to come to my place and see it.
I showed her my place on the rooftop.
For her, rooftops are where helicopters land.
Helicopters land on rooftops?
- Even my ceiling collapsed. - You get fresh air on the rooftop.
- That's how it is at her place. - Exactly.
After seeing my ceiling collapsed, she was surprised.
She cried her heart out.
"I didn't know that you live like this."
Then she went home, right?
"I don't care. It doesn't matter to me."
"I'll use the bathroom for a bit."
She went to the bathroom.
She didn't come out for a long time.
About 20 minutes later,
she came out saying, "Let's break up" and left my place.
I went to the bathroom. The toilet cover was closed.
I was stunned upon opening it.
"What on earth is this?"
She left you a gift.
She was worried about what to do.
The water didn't flush, and it wasn't easy to see me.
"It'd be better off to break up with him."
- Hang on. - How sad.
- I heard it often from comedians. - It's my story.
She didn't know that it'd flush if you pour water.
- There was no water though. - There was no water.
Water was cut off.
It's an elaborate plot with a foreshadow.
- It was pretty good. - It was good?
- Was it well plotted? - Yes, it was.
(Are you doing well?)
Rado uses neither soap nor shampoo.
- That's right. I don't use shampoo. - You don't use shampoo.
He does have a bit of hypochondria.
I used to apply about 12 cosmetic products.
When I traveled, I had so many cosmetic products to carry.
I read that washing with water only is good for shedding hair and skin.
- I saw that too. - From 2, 3 years ago, I washed...
with water only. A half of my eyebrows was missing,
- but it grew. - It grew?
- Really? - Is that so?
Wouldn't it grow all the way down here?
- It may grow like this later on. - I'll shave it then.
- I'm serious. - Aren't you exaggerating?
- Your eyebrows will cover the hair. - It might grow this long.
I got more hair too.
You'll be so worried about having your eyebrows this long.
I cut out everything and washed with water only. I don't even smell bad.
Everything Rado talks about is health.
There's nearly anything regarding music or composing.
He better be on a health TV program.
- He's a capable man of health. - He was born in 1984.
- He's a natural man. - I'm a natural man.
- You get an upset stomach often... - I see.
that you have a special method you use to make yourself better.
I repeatedly do a stomach roll.
I will stand up and show you.
- Here. - Wait a minute.
I will give you a demonstration.
Pull your T-shirt tight.
Don't do that.
Do we really need to see that?
This is what I do for an upset stomach. I am sorry.
Do we need to see a stomach in that condition?
Let's take a look.
(Rolling his stomach)
Does it make you feel better?
It makes me feel better right away. I also bathe my lower body.
Even people with six-pack abs don't show them easily.
It was the type of stomach I have never seen on Radio Star.
- Seriously. - I have seen it before.
The only one who revealed a stomach like that one...
- was Cho Sae Ho. - Cho Sae Ho.
(Both of them have chubby stomachs.)
During the preliminary interview,
Tae Gon referred to himself as "Sweet Heart" 97 times.
- He is a manly man. - Shin Hyun Hee should be here.
"Sweet Heart".
These days, he lost his manliness and gained symptoms of andropause.
- How old are you? - Me?
I am 41 years old.
You are still young.
He will begin to feel the symptoms of andropause.
I feel it. There is a drop in my alcohol tolerance as well.
- It's happening at the age of 41. - Yes.
I wanted to grow something.
I bought a lemon tree at the market.
A lemon tree.
- It's hard to grow a lemon tree. - That's right.
It's hard to grow it in the climate of Korea.
- Have you had a lemon tree? - Yes, I have.
- He has grown it on TV. - That's right.
I bought a tree with lemons.
The man who sold it to me said it's low-maintenance.
- He said it's low-maintenance. - He said it will grow well.
I cherished the tree. I put wire under lemons for support.
When I touched one lightly, it fell.
Had it been before, I would have decided to eat it.
However, I had become emotional.
You were raising the tree.
That's right. The tree felt like my child.
I became so sad.
I watched it for three days.
How does he fillet fish?
He catches fish...
- and takes a picture with it. - He does it skillfully too.
About 10 years ago,
I cleaned fish while it was still alive.
There came a moment when I couldn't do it anymore...
while the fish was alive.
- I ask my friend... - Do you wait until it dies?
to draw out the blood...
because I can't kill it.
- You clean dead fish. - That's right.
You stain someone else's hands with blood.
(It's a small revenge.)
He is a sociopath.
(Thank you.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today, we are with four capable guests.
"A Song That Upgrades My Capabilities!"
Which song did Tae Gon choose?
("You Can Do It" by Kang San Eh)
- It suits him. - I know this song.
This is his style.
You can open a sashimi restaurant.
- You can swim. - You can swim.
Why did you choose this song?
I think...
the lyrics best represent...
my situation and feelings.
Let's listen to Tae Gon's performance of "You Can Do it".
All right.
Doesn't he remind you of Tom Jones?
He looks a lot like Tom Jones.
He has a well-proportioned body.
("You Can Do It" by Lee Tae Gon)
(Even though he is nervous, his eyes look fierce.)
(If you are in regrets)
(Forget everything)
He has a resounding voice.
(Until you can retell the story)
(With a smile)
(Misunderstandings and speculations have surrounded him.)
(Even though it was hard to bear,)
(he overcame like a man with a dream.)
(He hit notes as naturally as he catches fish.)
(Gu Ra is absorbed.)
(I have heart like a jewel)
(That never yields)
(It was an honest performance like a confession.)
He made us savor the lyrics.
Tae Gon is cool.
A lot of composers only make the first verse for Radio Star.
- Really? - Yes.
- Don't be ridiculous. - He is spouting nonsense.
(He is spouting nonsense.)
It's an utter nonsense.
We cut the songs right away after the first verse.
We can't listen to two verses.
- Stop it. - He gave us courage.
A character in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" said,
"Hope is...
the greatest gift we have."
Despite many misunderstandings and prejudices,
these four capable people continued to move forward.
We hope they will continue to cheer up.
We will say goodbye here.
- See you next week. - Please.
