We're here with four national heartthrobs.
Today's theme is "National Heartthrob in My Heart Special".
(Park Joon, the icon of free spirit!)
(He doesn't hesitate to say anything!)
(Joon changed after his daughter was born.)
(He's explaining about how to take care of a baby.)
I don't have breast milk.
Please don't use expressions like that.
(Kim Tae Woo was the biggest snob?)
(He said g.o.d and 1TYM are the only successful groups.)
(Help me, Joon. Am I a person who would say that?)
(I didn't know you were such a snob.)
(Song Baek Kyoung returned to TV shows after 10 years...)
(only because he's a huge fan of Gu Ra's?)
(His compliments make me uncomfortable.)
(Jun Jin is more enthusiastic than a newcomer!)
Something like this. "Come close."
You can just say, "Come here."
(Gu Ra is my only target!)
(The heartthrobs reveal each other's secrets!)
(It would be tragic if you can't watch this.)
("National Heartthrob in My Heart Special" begins now.)
"Hello? Oh, my gosh."
"Oh, yes!"
"Don't stay up all night."
I created so many popular quotes.
I'm the only person on Radio Star who created popular quotes.
It's me
Who would refuse a man like me?
Any woman would desire me
I haven't sung this song for a long time.
- Every... - Why did you sing in falsetto?
I haven't sung this song in 22 years.
Every song I make becomes a big hit.
I'm the only one on Radio Star who made hit songs.
It's me
(I'm the only one on Radio Star who made hit songs.)
Those old-school...
and boring quotes...
and old songs...
must make you frustrated.
I'll solve that problem.
I'm the only one on Radio Star who can make people feel better.
It's me!
- What was that? - You should've sing it.
For the viewers who are tired of the three old hosts,
I, Key, am here to entertain your eyes.
I'm the only one on Radio Star who is in his 20s.
I'm today's special MC. It's me
- All right. - It sounds like... Gather around
Songolmae' song.
- Gather around - Gather around
- It's plagiarized. - Right.
- It's a bit similar. - I didn't know that.
At 11pm every Wednesday,
we desire your attention and affection.
This is a high-end Wednesday talk show,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Our today's special MC is Key of SHINee.
- Key. - Please say hello to the viewers.
He plays a big role in the Monday-Tuesday drama,
- "The Guardians". - Did you watch it?
No, but it seems your drama gets viewer ratings of 8 percent.
He doesn't watch dramas. He only knows their ratings.
- Please say hello to the viewers. - Okay.
Hello. I'm Key of SHINee.
I haven't come on this show in three years.
I'll do my best as today's special MC. Thank you.
He and Dana had good teamwork last time.
- Dana isn't here today. - They...
You have to work with Gu Ra instead.
Do you think you can handle him?
I'll be your lock today.
- A key and a lock? - That's right.
- I'll be a good partner. - He and his jokes.
Today, we invited four heartthrobs who won every girl's heart...
in the late 1990s.
Today's theme is "National Heartthrob in My Heart Special".
Have you been taking classes?
- I saw people do that. - He doesn't know things like this.
- He made a mistake. - Right.
- He did. - Our first guest...
wasn't so young when he debuted 20 years ago.
He used to be an old idol star.
Now he's an old dad as well.
He's a member of g.o.d who is almost 50.
The national heartthrob with dark skin...
- Not so fast. - Park Joon!
Not yet.
- He really is so distracting. - That was quick.
- Gosh. He's so distracting. - Oh, my.
I came in early because they told me they'll finish recording early.
He said...
- You're going out now? - He's overly cheerful.
(He smiles.)
In the era of pretty vocalists like Kangta, Shin Hye Sung,
and Kang Sung Hoon,
he was like Choi Hong Man of idol singers.
As the first idol singer to have children...
- How do you sing this song? - I love you
- I wish you - I have three kids
- Oh, right. - "I have three kids."
The heartthrob with three children, Kim Tae Woo.
- He has 3 children too. - He has 3 children.
(He acts cute as the youngest member of g.o.d.)
Did you get a multi-child family support card?
- You get half off parking fees. - That's right. I have one.
- At any public parking lots. - That's right.
- I see. - You have one, right?
Next up is...
His appearance is so sudden.
He's a founding contributor of YG Entertainment,
and the first generation of Korean hip hop artists.
Now he wears an apron instead of hip hop bandanas.
He runs a curry restaurant now. He's back after 10 years.
The heartthrob curry expert, Song Baek Kyoung of 1TYM.
- He runs a curry restaurant. - Yes, he's a CEO.
He's wearing a mask.
All idol stars these days wear a mask.
(He's wearing a mask like idol stars these days.)
He looks like he's wearing it because he's sick.
He looks like he injured his chin.
He survived the flood of idol singers for 19 years.
He's the icon of longevity.
He's the dancing machine of Shinhwa,
a good entertainer, and a good athlete at the same time.
Junstin Jinberlake, Jun Jin.
Jun Jin!
(Park Joon, Kim Tae Woo, Song Baek Kyoung, Jun Jin)
- Gosh. - What was that?
- It's good to see you again. - Hi, Joon.
- Jin. - Yes?
- Please close the door. - Okay.
Jin is here.
They were all active in 2002.
- Between 2001 and 2002. - We're quite old now.
Gook Jin was running a bakery back then.
- He was a model of a brand. - Oh, right.
He'll fail if he runs a bakery...
because he's too shy.
This would've been a dazzling lineup in 2002.
- Absolutely. They were the best. - It would've been the best lineup.
- We couldn't gather them together. - You shouldn't look down on us.
- Joon, please say hello. - "You shouldn't look down on us."
Yes! In 1, 2, 3.
I'm the oldest member of g.o.d.
I'm Park Joon, Junie's dad. Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hello. I used to be the lead singer of g.o.d.
I'm So Yul, Ji Yul, and Hae Yul's...
- They have "Yul" in their names. - dad.
- I'm Kim Tae Woo. - Welcome.
How long have you been married?
- It's been 6 years. - Having 3 kids in 6 years is fast.
- You must be deep in love. - You had kids right away.
I don't get how they did it.
I'm struggling with one only.
- He has another complaint. - I'm sorry.
- Song Baek Kyoung. - "I'm sorry."
Please greet the viewers.
Hello, I used to perform as a member of "1TYM" in the past.
It's not the past because you guys didn't disband.
- That's right. - Why are you blushing already?
- It's because he's embarrassed. - Let me introduce myself.
All right. I'm sorry.
- I'm self-employed now. - "Self-employed".
Since my son, Rubin, was recently born,
I have one more title as a daddy. I'm Song Baek Kyoung.
- Rubin. - Yes, it's Rubin.
There was a famous producer...
named Rick Rubin.
- I see. - Did you name your son after him?
- No, there's no relation at all. - Only you know him.
You're the only one who knows him.
- Seriously, you are... - He's really famous.
- He was funny when I saw him on TV. - Jun Jin.
(Jun Jin is very energetic today.)
It's my first time telling you this,
but we're in the Guinness Book of Records.
Shinhwa has been performing for 19 years...
without any member leaving or disbanding.
- That's amazing. - We exist to this day.
We keep going forward.
I'm Jun Jin of Shinhwa.
I haven't heard it for a long time.
Lee Jong Soo and he both have glaring eyes.
- That's right. - They have glaring eyes.
- That's not true. - They have the most glaring eyes.
You're wrong.
(He is indeed someone who can attack Gu Ra.)
Shinhwa hasn't disbanded for the past 19 years.
The group has existed for a long time without any trouble.
- That's right. - You've made a special request.
- You wanted the guests... - That's right.
- to greet you. - I wanted to ask...
if we'll go by the year we debuted...
or by our age. I was curious about it.
We won't do that. We'll take care of it ourselves.
- We'll take care of it ourselves. - All right.
- Go. Let's go. - He seems so frivolous.
You're unnecessarily talkative.
- It'll take longer because of you. - It'll be over soon.
- How old are you and Baek Kyoung? - He's a year older than I.
- Were you born in 1980? - When did you make your debut?
- I debuted first. - 1981, 1980, and 1979 for him.
- I see. - He was born in 1969.
- In 1969. - What's up,
- brother? - He was born in 1969.
How many years is he apart from Jong Shin?
- They're of the same age. - They're friends.
Let's move on to the first question.
(He hosts the show.)
- He does his best like this. - Of course.
Doesn't "Infinite Challenge" contact you?
- Don't they contact you? - I don't want to join the show.
- Excuse me? - I made a mistake, so I won't go.
I'll do my best for now though.
- He works hard. They must call him. - All right.
This group was called as "God".
Everyone's daddy, Joon Park of g.o.d, congratulations.
My gosh.
- You had a baby girl at 49. - My goodness.
I heard he's physically struggling a lot recently.
I guess it's tough looking after his baby.
- He can't sleep. - He can't sleep nowadays.
I tell my wife to get some sleep at night.
- I look after my baby at night. - You look after your baby.
- Really? - I look after my baby for a while.
She cries every two hours.
That's totally fine.
She cries every two hours.
Then I'd soothe her.
I'm nothing at the end though...
because she wants her mother's breast milk at the end.
- That's right. - I don't even have breasts,
- so I don't know what to do... - I know.
- Say "breast milk" instead. - After all...
Say "breast milk" instead.
I know what he means by that.
You can't use "breast" directly on the show.
- I see. - I get what you mean though.
- It's because he lived abroad. - It's just because...
- I'd soothe her for a long time. - It won't help.
- That's right. - She cries after 10 minutes of...
- smiling. It's so tough. - I feel bad. I know how you feel.
- In the end... - That's why Mr. Shim begged...
- for breast milk. - You're right.
- That's right. - Mr. Shim doesn't have them.
- So he begged for breast milk. - You can't help it.
- At home... - I'm nothing at the end.
I'd wake up, look after her, then go back to sleep.
I'm a human, so I need to use the washroom...
when I wake up from sleep.
My daughter wakes up upon hearing me peeing,
- so I'd be careful... - Really?
and pee in between the water and the edge of the toilet.
Choi Min Soo pees while sitting down.
- Really? - Yes.
His wife hates him splashing his urine.
- Is that so? - Yes, I'm serious.
- You can remove the cover then. - You could remove the cover.
It still splashes.
- It splashes. - It must be really strong.
(He must gush out his urine.)
Baek Kyoung also had a baby recently.
Earlier, I was in the elevator with him.
There was a family with a child.
- I wondered who they were. - Is it true?
- They came to see the station. - That's right.
- You weren't on TV for so long. - I stole a glance at them.
He greeted me, and I realized that it was him.
How old is your child?
- He's 5 months old. - He's 5 months old.
Why did all of you come today?
I wanted to bring my baby...
and take pictures with Mr. Kim Gu Ra.
Really? It's not good for his education.
He wouldn't know anything.
I'm just taking pictures because the parents want it.
(Baek Kyoung's dream came true.)
In fact, you're the youngest member of g.o.d,
but you became a dad first.
- You have three kids too. - That's right.
You think he's immature although he's older than you.
I heard you're really worried about him.
At first, I was worried if he could marry someone.
- He got married. - Yes, he got married.
- You were worried? - I was worried if he could have...
- kids. - Why were you worried about that?
- Since he's too old. - No, you can have kids.
- Man, I've still got it. - He had a baby.
What a needless concern.
Also,
- he flew into a rage. - He flew into a rage.
- He flew into a rage. - He flew into a rage.
Tae Woo, he flared up just now.
I realized that Joon became a dad.
You know how he swears when he greets others.
Since he was with his wife and his baby,
he said, "Hey, f...friend."
- That's what he said. - He couldn't say other things.
That's right. So I was like, "He's finally changed."
- Nice. - He began to say other words.
- Nice twist. "Hey, my friend". - With an F...
Normally, I'd say, "Hey, funny friend."
Just say "friend" instead.
- He looked at his wife briefly. - "Funny friend".
"Finally,"
- "he tries to read her mind." - "He's growing into a man."
Joon,
Tae Woo had babies before you did.
Since you became a daddy at an old age,
- he preaches you a lot. - What?
- I don't understand. - It's Japanese.
I keep telling you about childcare.
- I see. - He tells you about childcare.
This is what he told me.
"You know that your life is over once you get married, right?"
- Then I asked him why. - Hang on. I talked about it...
- Could this be aired? - Time out. It's not like that.
When did I ever say that?
- When we made... - He's flustered.
- our comeback... - I'm serious.
in 2014...
- Joon, Joon. - Don't come up with an excuse.
- Then... - "It's over once you get married."
- That's his tone. - No, it isn't.
- I never said that. - Your image is like that.
I see. What else?
Edit this part out. He might argue with his wife because of this.
- There's nothing to air then. - What do you mean, edit out?
- Are you a producer? - Exactly.
- What are you talking about? - Producer, I'm Producer Park.
(Laughing)
Our producer's last name is "Park".
- Producer Park? - Really?
What's up? Is your family clan from Miryang?
His family clan wasn't from Miryang?
- What is it then? - Stop it.
- So... - I told him that it'd be tough.
This is what happened. He spoke in Korean.
It was after our meal.
When I suggested to hang out longer, he told me that he had to go home.
He said it was because of his kids.
When I asked him to hang out longer, he said it's over once you marry.
That's what he meant.
- That's what he meant. - He said that...
in such a negative tone.
- Excuse me. - It's completely different.
- You don't have freedom. - That's right.
- We understood what you meant. - It's because my two kids...
- can now understand what I say. - I see.
- Be careful of what you say. - What would I become?
It's actually my first time seeing Baek Kyoung in person...
- on a TV show. - That's right.
I heard you made your comeback on TV after 10 years...
- on this show. - That's right.
- He took two tranquilizer pills. - I see.
Did you hurt your neck?
- No, he's embarrassed. - I used...
to be skinny and slim before.
- I was way too skinny, but I... - That was in the past.
- gained weight. - He gained a bit of weight.
- Is it to cover your jaw? - So you covered it?
He wants to pretend to be slim.
- You covered your jaw? - Yes, I gained much fat on my jaw.
That's right. He gained quite a bit of weight.
- Really? - Yes.
- It's stranger that way. - Idol singers...
wear black masks.
- That's right. - The scriptwriter said...
- that black would be too dark. - It is a bit dark.
- The condition was to wear a mask. - "I won't be aired without a mask."
- What is that? - Seriously?
- What is that? - Why didn't you wear a towel then?
- Incredible. - 1TYM.
- That's a good idea. - I think you look great.
- He might think differently. - How much did you gain?
- You look fine. - Come on.
- He might think differently. - How much did you gain?
(His lower jaw is revealed.)
- He became so handsome. - You look fine.
Give me a high five now.
- Look. - Everyone has that much fat.
- You look fine. - You look okay.
- Don't wear it. It's better. - Baek Kyoung, you look awesome.
- Should I remove it? - Yes.
- He looks great. - You decided to be on Radio Star...
because of your son and Gu Ra.
Calling Gu Ra as...
"Mr. Gu Ra" is...
- awkward for me. - Well, that's...
That's why I call him as "Teacher Gu Ra".
- "Teacher". - What's the matter with you?
- Are you making fun of me? - I'm serious.
It doesn't feel comfortable to call him casually.
- Baek Kyoung could feel that way. - That's possible.
He's like a divine being of TV shows.
- It's not like that. - My goodness.
- What's wrong? - No, he says everything he wants.
- It's because... - What are you doing after 10 years?
- It's because... - What makes you think that way?
He never goes beyond limit.
These days.
He's very reasonable too.
That's why he's criticized nowadays that he's no longer funny.
- He acts... - They prefer his old style.
like one with vested interest.
- Excuse me. - "Vested interest".
- Excuse me. - You don't swear any more.
- In fact, you're not as funny now. - I see.
- "Ssulzun" is popular. - I'll accept...
being not funny.
You should quit if you're not funny.
Why would you be here if you're not funny?
(Bitter)
(He's funny indeed.)
I heard you analyze Radio Star with your love of Gu Ra.
That's right. Gu Ra...
barely laughs.
- He doesn't laugh a lot. - That's not true.
- That's right. - I laugh so much.
He laughed a lot with one guest, Kim Heung Gook.
That's true. That's so true.
- He's generous for Heung Gook. - We work collaboratively.
- He even laughed at his breath. - We laugh more for each other.
- On the other hand... - A while ago... yesterday,
he swore because I didn't answer his call.
(He swore out of the blue!)
He laughed alone.
What is that? He swore because I didn't answer his call.
He said he was disappointed in me and told me to be careful.
- I knew he was joking anyway. - You weren't okay with it though.
- Please continue. - And...
even though everyone finds Cho Sae Ho funny,
but Gu Ra doesn't laugh at Sae Ho's jokes.
- Gu Ra doesn't laugh at his jokes. - That's tough love.
- I'm trying to toughen him up. - But Sae Ho is so funny though.
It seems he really likes Gu Ra.
- He only analyzed about Gu Ra. - He should be a producer.
Please keep your distance though.
This is sort of making me uncomfortable.
- But he really likes Gu Ra. - Keep your distance.
Things have changed. When idol singers gather together,
we talk about and analyze...
newly rising TV shows and hosts.
- We talk about whom we like too. - That's right.
Long time ago,
Gu Ra used to be 1 of the top 3 hosts to be avoided.
- It was among idol singers. - Who were the other two hosts?
I'm really curious. Who are the other two hosts?
So there was a list like that.
I'm curious too.
I bet Lee Gyeong Gyu made it to the list too.
Idol singers didn't like him?
- I bet he was one of them. - Don't forget Kang Ho Dong.
- He was one of them, right? - No, he's well-liked.
- I don't think he was disliked. - He tends to be quite firm too.
- It's because Ho Dong does this. - He tends to be firm.
Say that someone wasn't funny when he or she had the chance.
During the talk, he does this.
- That's so true. - He's not easy to please.
- He made me nervous. - So that happened.
We are similar to Gyeong Gyu.
- You do this gesture? - Right.
He wasn't well-liked before,
- but after he became gentle, - I agree.
idol singers feel comfortable to work with him.
- They really like Gu Ra now. - They like him nowadays.
You told a great story at the right time.
- You really did. - "At the right time"?
- Jin, you starred on our show... - Yes?
today for the sake of Baek Kyoung. Is that right?
He said he was anxious because he hadn't been on a show for 10 years.
I met him two days ago too.
- He kept talking about it. - I heard you had a meeting.
Yes, we had a meeting. He kept mentioning it had been 10 years.
I told him to be himself.
I told him to relax as if we are having drinks,
but he kept thinking about how long his break was.
(He kept thinking about it.)
I told him to talk freely.
Have you decided to return to this profession after 10 years?
No, not at all.
- I bet he's interested. - To start again...
I don't plan on coming back to this industry.
- The same goes for this show. - Your agency is still YG?
No, I am not a singer of YG Entertainment.
- I am... - 1TYM was never broken up.
- The group still exists. - Hold on.
- I'm sorry. - Let me speak.
- Baek Kyoung was talking. - Look.
I think Jin might be Baek Kyoung's attorney.
- You don't need to help. - Don't touch me.
You are not an artist of the agency?
I have a contract with them as a songwriter.
Do you still write songs?
Right now, I am running three restaurants.
- I have my hands full with them. - You are that busy?
- Do you manage all of them? - Of course he does.
When a dishwasher quits, I wash the dishes.
- I manage everything. - That's why he's successful.
One of my friends is running two cosmetics stores, and is so busy.
- Who runs those stores? - My friend does.
- Cosmetics stores? - Yes.
- That came out of nowhere. - l like Gu Ra because...
- he doesn't hold back anything. - He talks about his friends.
- My friend... - My friend runs gas stations.
- He runs a lot of them. - Gu Ra,
on Jeju Island, my friend owns every gas station.
- I'll give you discount. - What I'm trying to say is...
- You can ask me for help. - This is...
- A discount? - It's not that.
If someone has three stores and manages all of them,
- he or she is busy. I know that. - That's true.
When 1TYM made their debut,
I met them on "Show! Music Tank" for the first time.
I haven't heard that title for ages.
- I can't believe he brought it up. - "Show! Music Tank".
My group couldn't go on that show.
- You couldn't right? - No.
- You don't know about it, right? - The show ended.
- 1TYM starred on the show. - They were the best.
They had towels on their heads on stage.
When I heard Baek Kyoung's name, I thought it was a cool name...
because he had the same name with a character in "Slam Dunk".
- So... - It's Song Baek Ho.
- It's Kang Baek Ho. - Is it?
- I'm sorry. - Hey.
- They share only one syllable. - I...
His name is similar to Kang Baek Ho.
- For Joon, it sounds the same. - It's similar to Choi Baek Ho.
Then his name is similar to Choi Baek Ho.
- Come on. Seriously? - I thought he had the same name.
He mixed Kang Baek Ho and Song Tae Sub.
He was confused between the two.
- It was Song Tae Sub. - That's right.
- When I saw him, - He's funny.
he wasn't as tall as I had expected.
- He was shorter than I expected. - He just criticized Baek Kyoung.
It's been 15 years we hadn't seen each other.
The way he talks in Korean is different from ours.
He said, "Why are you still a dwarf?"
- He said that. - I thought...
he would have grown taller for last 15 years.
He was young at that time.
He was an adult at that time.
Joon, you said...
your efforts made it possible for other idol singers...
to publicly date nowadays.
Let's be honest.
- Don't you agree, Jin? - I agree.
- I bet all of you guys know this. - You sacrificed yourself.
- Don't you know what happened? - That's right.
(Joon held a press conference about a scandal that got him kicked out.)
The agency announced they let Joon go.
(I am 32 years old.)
He said he shouldn't be criticized for being in love.
(In this tear-jerking conference, his famous quote was created.)
I can't understand this.
You all know that other quotes were derived from my quote.
- We all know that. - I cried in the press conference.
I acknowledge your contribution.
- Don't you? - I do.
I made the sacrifice for them. I cried during the conference.
- Why would I cry? - You know that...
- I made panic disorder famous. - You don't even sweat now.
- Take a seat. - It's because...
You didn't voluntarily share the news.
You should have voluntarily share those news.
After I made my relationship public, other people started doing that.
You were the pioneer, and he is your successor.
- That's right. - He followed Joon's footsteps.
He didn't sacrifice himself.
- He just got caught. - That's true.
I can't believe he said he made a sacrifice.
(Now, he pretends that he voluntarily made it public.)
The important thing is that idol singers now are working hard...
and I like how honest they are now.
- That's true. - We also...
- became singers as we... - You wanted to be free.
watched singers overseas and enjoyed their music.
We wanted to be just like them, but we had to hide our relationships.
- That's right. - We had to.
- I approve of Jin. - Ho Young and I were...
- I mean, out of five members... - What do you mean?
Staff of "Infinite Challenge", please hire him. He's hard-working.
- Why do you keep bringing it up? - "Infinite Challenge"?
- They must hire Jin now! - Come on.
(Gu Ra is unstoppable.)
Tae Woo, you are the one with the amazing voice in g.o.d.
Before your debut, when you heard Joon would be in your group,
you said you felt like the universe sent you a gift.
Why did you say that?
I sent a video to Jin Young in my first year of high school.
After I was selected, Jin Young told me to wait...
because he was planning to make a group...
that evolved around me.
That's understandable. He was the lead vocalist.
So I thanked him and was going to school.
Since it was hard to get in touch,
he bought me a pager.
I received a message during lunch break one day.
Jin Young told me to use the phone booth where people weren't around.
- Why? - It was because...
Gosh, he can be quite dramatic.
- Seriously? - He's dramatic.
He saw too many films.
He didn't want others to know about our group.
- I see. It was for that. - That's right.
It was like a secret project.
I called him and he asked, "Are there people around you?"
He really asked this.
He really did.
(Laughing)
- "Did anyone hear you?" - He was worried about that.
- I said no one was around. - It's like a spy film.
He said, "Listen to me carefully what I'm about to tell you."
Usually, spies talk like that.
Don't be surprised or scream.
- "Don't be surprised or scream." - "Do you know..."
- "the guy in the beer commercial?" - I know that guy.
Did he mean Choi Jong Won?
- He was in the commercial too. - I saw him in the commercial.
- He did star in it. - But...
there was a rumor among aspiring singers.
People used to say Joon was going to debut in a group...
- and he was really skillful. - He was the hottest back then.
Jin Young told me...
that he had never seen a good-looking guy...
who could dance and rap so well.
- That's what he said? - All the members said that.
- Every member of the group said it. - His eyes are terrible.
He is really terrible at seeing people.
But actually, his eyes are slight slanted.
(He suddenly criticizes Jin Young.)
Do you know what he said to us?
He said Tae Woo was tall and had eyes of Jung Woo Sung.
He said Tae Woo had a small face and looked cool with his long legs.
We were waiting for him in the basement.
- We heard that he was coming. - This was a tragedy.
Jin Young was describing Tae Woo?
- He described Tae Woo? - Tae Woo was coming.
- What a tragedy. - The rest of g.o.d's members...
- Did you wait for him? - looked terrible back then.
- We washed up and waited for him. - You wanted to meet him.
- You wanted to see the vocalist. - Was that the reason why?
That's right. We even put on lotion on that day.
(They wanted to make a good impression.)
(He's unstoppable.)
- This is... - Jin Young fooled them completely.
He told us that Tae Woo was coming...
and to look cool like professional singers.
We saw Tae Woo when he came downstairs.
- I was surprised. I almost vomited. - What?
That's a bit of exaggeration.
- Hear me out. - You were expecting Woo Sung?
He was as tall as Woo Sung. I can give him that,
but his eyes weren't like Ryu Si Won's. His eyes were just small.
(What a twist.)
Baek Kyoung, you made a reservation with a plastic surgeon for the show?
Well, when I said that I was going to star on this show,
Oh Jin Hwan of 1TYM...
- What does he do now? - He owns a restaurant with me.
- You run it with him? - I see.
I didn't know that.
It's located in Apgujeong.
When I told him that I was going to be on this show,
he said that he knew a good plastic surgeon in Gangnam.
He told me to get a facial contour surgery and shots for cellulite.
- Shots for cellulite? - What?
- What are those? - I have no idea.
- I don't know them. - If I shake, are they gone?
Maybe the shots make my face look round like a tambourine.
- Like you swing a tambourine... - He had a 50 percent discount.
- He passed the discount to me. - There are such shots?
Do they shake the shots?
I seriously thought about getting the shots,
but I had an accident before the shoot.
- Didn't you hurt your leg? - It was because of my leg.
He broke his ankle.
- How did he hurt it? - I asked him how he hurt it.
I asked him if he was all right.
I could imagine how he hurt himself.
He was moving the scooter...
(He delivers a detailed story.)
And he slipped over the oil.
He fell down.
I imagined him, and it was so funny.
- I can imagine that. - He just fell down like this.
It's a funny story if you imagine the situation.
Jin is very enthusiastic.
Please don't judge me.
All right. But it was a compliment.
- Look at his face. - Despite all the hardships,
- I will stay positive. - Okay.
- That's my motto. - I hear you.
- Don't make me change that. - All right.
I'm asking you.
Please stop exaggerating my stories.
- It's a gift for you. - What's this?
- He spices up others' stories. - What's this?
- You brought this for him? - Yes, it's a gift.
- Really? - I bought it by myself.
- You prepared a lot. - I bought it by myself.
- You prepared a lot. That's nice. - It's for you.
- That's why Jin would buy for you. - Thank you.
You should use that. You exaggerate stories the most.
- All right. I'll do that. - Jong Shin is funny.
Baek Kyoung, you're living a happy life running a cafe.
- It's a curry restaurant. - A curry restaurant.
- It's written right here. - A cafe?
We've been talking about curry.
I thought he serves curry at his cafe.
There are cafes that serve food.
1TYM.
- Jin keeps cutting in right now. - Why are you laughing?
- Jin is close friends with you. - That's right.
The standing flower wreaths from Jin can even...
- turn around a failing business. - They were all on the news.
- What does that mean? - Why were they on the news?
- I wrote funny comments on them. - I see.
- What did you write? - Oh, the comments?
He sent the flowers to a curry restaurant,
but hen I opened my first restaurant,
he wrote, "Every dish except for curry is good here."
(He's brazen.)
When I opened my second curry restaurant,
he wrote, "Ready-to-eat curry is the best."
(He has a good sense of humor.)
- I think it's... - Isn't it funny?
- It's quite funny. - It's good.
- That really is useful. - I like those comments.
- They're not hilarious, but good. - Goodness.
- Gosh. - That's so funny.
Back in the days, among the fans of g.o.d and Shinhwa,
the two groups were called the rivals of the century.
Someone almost got hurt because you were too competitive.
- The TV shows made us compete. - That's right.
- We had to compete on many shows. - I see.
- Both groups were very competitive. - I know.
Didn't your manager work at SM Entertainment before that?
- Yes, he did. - Right.
- Hae Ik. - Hae Ik?
- Hae Ik was their manager? - Yes, he was.
- He worked with H.O.T and Shinhwa, - Then he left SM Entertainment.
- and then he worked with us. - Really?
- He must've wanted to defeat you. - He was our manager.
Did he want H.O.T and Shinhwa to die?
(He goes extreme.)
He's spicing it up too much.
- I meant he was enthusiastic. - That's right.
One day, we went to the marine base.
(The two groups went for the marine training.)
We competed against each other during the marine training.
(I remember that now!)
At first, we said hi to each other,
- but we learned we're competitive. - You all are.
We raced with an inflatable boat on our heads...
- That's what they do. - and everything.
- We got injured. - We jumped off as helicopter too.
The last course was...
to jump off a helicopter into the ocean.
- Did you rappel from a helicopter? - No, that's not it.
- We just jumped off. - You dove into the water?
We jumped from 15m high.
- We were up in the air, - Between 10m and 12m.
- and we just jumped like this. - We just jumped.
- Did you swim out of the water? - Why did we have to do that?
- Why did we have to do that? - Exactly!
- Why did you do that? - I tried sky diving too.
- On the same TV show? - It's to entertain the viewers.
(Oh, I see.)
The director was sorry for us.
He didn't discuss with us beforehand.
They didn't know what they were going to do.
- He wanted it to be more intense. - I see.
The director said...
he meant to ask 2 or 3 of us to jump off the helicopter,
but one member from each group would be enough.
- Joon used to play water polo. - Really?
- He's like a king in the water. - He's good at swimming.
We all thought Joon would represent our group.
Joon said, "Hey!"
"I won't do that, you jerks."
(Joon lost his calm.)
(He ended up swearing at his group members.)
- Is he afraid of heights? - No.
I checked our schedule for the next day.
- We had to meet Shinhwa again. - Again?
We competed against them again.
There was a water tank as big as this set.
It was about 3m deep.
We competed who could hold breath longer under water.
- It was an outdoor set. - That's right.
There were many variety shows like that back then.
Joon was different that day.
He refused to jump the day before, but he said he would do this.
We were confident he would win.
He hit his head and came out of the water.
(He dove and hit his head in one second!)
He came out of the water right away.
- We lost. - I bumped my head on the wall.
(In the 1990s, stars usually made an exaggerated entrance.)
(Jin with bobbed-hair)
(Same goes for g.o.d.)
(Joon has always been overly cheerful since his debut.)
(I'll show you my ability.)
(He hit his head as soon as he dove.)
(Then, he came out of the water right away.)
(I'm sorry. I'm 32 years old.)
This is a good chance to see how competitive they are.
- Since you are here... - We have to see it.
- Representing g.o.d and Shinhwa, - Let's have a dance battle.
- show us your popular dances. - The thing is...
- Let's do this. - I don't mind dancing,
- but you should know... - A dance battle is...
Why would we have a dance battle?
- You did it in the past. - You should know...
- that g.o.d was the best group... - How about...
while Shinhwa was the best dance group.
- They're no match for your group? - They were the best group.
We were the best dance group.
- They weren't a dance group. - They're no match for you, right?
They were popular because of the babysitting show.
(They were popular because of the babysitting show.)
Shinhwa was famous for their nude photoshoot.
(I can't let him win.)
- That was unexpected. - Let's go for it.
- Please play some music. - Let's go.
- We're two members. - Tae Woo and Jin.
Joon was Janet Jackson's backup dancer.
That was a lie.
I wasn't her backup dancer.
Why didn't you say that earlier?
- Stop it. - He says it was a lie.
- Stop it. - Why would you peel it off?
I didn't dance in her music video.
I appeared in the intro for only two seconds.
It's wasn't that long. 1.8 seconds.
I took a pose, and that was it.
- Are you making a confession now? - I see.
- It was a lie. - Right.
(He appears for a very brief moment.)
- All right. - I have a request.
Show us your dance first.
- Why would I dance? No way! - Why do we have to do that?
Why don't the hosts ever dance?
- Why don't you and Jong Shin... - I'm not good at dancing.
Try to be confident.
- Why don't the hosts dance? - Show me your dance. "Come on over"
Come on over now.
I can't believe how you're acting on a TV show.
(His recklessness takes even Gu Ra aback.)
- Music please. - Play the song I asked.
Do you remember the choreography?
("Eusha! Eusha!" is a summer song included in Shinhwa's first album.)
Go, the dance group member!
The best dance group!
He's more of the best nude model.
(Jin was 19 years old then.)
Play another song.
I remember all of our choreographies.
- He performs the songs at concerts. - That's right.
("T.O.P" is the title track of Shinhwa's second album.)
I remember that dance.
I remember that too.
- Shinhwa was the most popular then. - They were the best.
- This song brought them fame. - That's right.
We competed against them on TV shows then.
- Right. - I remember the music video.
- It was great. - It was the best.
He still remembers the choreography.
There's no intense part of the dance though.
- Intense eyes. - Singers used to do that.
(He reenacts the old-fashioned performance.)
- Intense eyes. - Intense eyes.
There was a group named Eagle Five.
This reminds me of "Show! Music Tank".
Go, Tae Woo!
Do you really want to see my dance?
You're good at this dance.
(You're good at this dance. Go, 1, 2!)
- He's good considering his height. - He's so tall.
("Observation" is included in g.o.d's first album.)
This is "Observation".
That's it.
(That's the dance I was talking about.)
(Jin joins Tae Woo.)
To the right!
Tae Woo, you're doing greatly.
(They make a good team.)
(This is the ability of the active idol singers.)
(He's reminiscing old memories.)
"Sorrow".
("Sorrow" is included in the second album. The dance is powerful.)
(The dance steps are similar.)
Their dances are similar to each other.
Tae Woo dances well.
(Jin joins Tae Woo again.)
Jin remembers the dance too.
- When you dance... - What's this song?
"Friday Night".
Tae Woo is a good dancer.
We were the best group.
He must be a good dancer.
It's the same dance move.
They use the same dance move for different songs.
This move is in every one of their choreographies.
(The same dance move is repeated in different songs.)
What's funnier is...
- I danced this for "Love Rain". - Exactly.
(I used this dance move for my solo song.)
That was great.
- Your dances have... - I remember those dances.
- a similar vibe as Park Jin Young. - That's true.
The choreographer of "Gangnam Style" made all these choreographies.
- Really? - Yes.
We're here with the four heartthrobs of the end of the century.
I haven't used this expression in a long time.
- It's been a long time. - Today's topic is...
"Between a Star and a Dad".
("Between a Star and a Dad")
In the end of the century, techno music was popular.
Songs like "Darkness".
Disco dance clubs were popular too.
Joon is 49 years old, and he just had a baby.
He will tell us about the urgent moment...
of his daughter's birth.
I... I think it was...
- about 3:40am. - I see.
- My wife said her stomach hurt. - Okay.
I asked where and she said here.
So I said we should time it.
- What do you mean? - Her contractions.
- You need to time the contractions. - That's right.
We measured her contractions, but they were...
- Can I say, "irregular"? - Yes.
They were too irregular.
So I thought it was a fake.
- A fake? - Contractions should be regular.
There's no such thing as fake labor pain.
They were irregular.
- Okay. - I thought she wasn't in labor,
but she said she was in pain.
She said she'd go to the bathroom.
When she stood up to go to the bathroom,
- her water broke. - Her water broke.
- Oh, dear. - Her water broke.
A little after 4am, I took her to the hospital.
My wife was in a lot of pain.
I was told that she should be hospitalized.
So, I called my manager.
I said my wife is going to deliver our baby that day.
My manager asked if I knew what it means.
I said I didn't.
He explained that it means my baby was going to come out that day.
I was surprised, and hung up the phone.
I went back to my wife.
- She was very sensitive... - Right.
because she was in pain.
She blamed me for everything.
- Everything is my fault. - That sounds possible.
- I did nothing, but it's my fault. - You were to blame.
When I was there, I made a huge mistake.
- What did you do? - I sat down and dozed off.
- It must have been hard for you. - It's because of your age.
- You were tired. - You can't do anything about that.
- I was too exhausted. - That was a huge mistake.
There was the bed here and I was leaning against the bed.
I fell asleep, but I leaned towards her.
(He passed out.)
- You fell asleep. - You were...
I fell asleep,
I heard sounds.
I saw someone's bottoms on top of my face.
She was delivering our baby.
The gynecologist asked her to push.
I got up.
The doctor asked me to go inside.
The doctor told me to go inside the bathroom and not to look.
She gave birth in the ward.
- Really? - She delivered the baby there.
- She didn't go to a delivery room. - No.
I was in the bathroom and asked if I could come out.
They told me to wear a mask. So I did.
They told me to ask her to push,
but she didn't know how to push...
because she had never been constipated.
She never suffered from it, so she didn't know how to push.
- Shouldn't she know instinctively? - No.
- So, this is what I said. - She couldn't push.
I said, "Baby, when you push,"
"don't push slowly or for a long time."
I told her to push briefly.
So, she pushed once quite briefly.
After that, they said she was almost done.
After 3 pushes, she delivered the baby in 7 minutes.
- It didn't take long. - No, it didn't.
Some last for 13 hours.
Now I understand. Joon said he saw his wife give birth.
He said, "You know how my wife is?"
"She delivered the baby with one push."
- That's how short it was. - What was that?
- I'm serious. - This was why he said that.
Your wife was lucky.
She really pushed only about three times.
She just did about three pushes to deliver her baby.
- But when... - She's good at it.
When I saw my daughter,
I was so touched. To be honest, I was worried.
- She was a healthy baby. - We check their health first.
I was so moved.
I was about to cry, but my wife was exhausted.
I tried to hold in my tears, but then I got a runny nose.
- My nose was running. - At your age, it's possible.
- I didn't cry. I had a runny nose. - That's possible.
As soon as my daughter was born, I went out of the ward.
When I saw my mother-in-law and my older sister, I was relieved.
I started crying. Tae Woo, you were right.
I can't express this with words.
- A long time ago, - If you are touched, it's possible.
- you cried too. - At the press conference?
- It was not that same. - It wasn't similar to that?
- I cried because I was angry. - That's not the same.
Those weren't tears.
- How can you compare that to this? - Gu Ra, come on.
- It was different? - I didn't want to cry,
but I cried out of anger.
He cried because of the delivery.
(Those were tears of anger and these were tears of the birth.)
- They are polar opposites. - Baek Kyoung, what about you?
I am curious.
My wife started to get contractions.
She didn't give birth naturally. She had a C-section.
- I see. - Wives look exhausted...
- She was in the operating room. - when they wake up.
My wife was lying down, and for the first time,
(When he first embraced his baby...)
When I was handed the baby at first,
I started to cry right away.
I saw how difficult it was for my wife,
but when I saw my baby, I was so happy and joyous.
The feelings I had at that time were confusing.
I should have just hugged and looked at my baby at that moment,
but I was filming my baby with my cell phone.
- I was... - He's addicted to the social media.
I was...
I haven't heard that kind of story before.
At that time, I was crying and my voice cracked.
That's why I deleted the sound of the video.
The sound of me crying was in the video.
He was crying, but he muted the video.
(I should do it even if I'm crying.)
He muted the video.
Joon, you found out your wife's pregnancy...
- because of your feet smell? - Really?
That's not it.
My feet usually don't smell.
When we were sitting down,
our dog smelled really bad. I told my dog to go away.
I gave my dog a bath three days ago.
I told my dog to stay away.
My wife who was next to me, told me...
that the smell came from my feet, not the dog.
She asked me to go wash my feet.
So I thoroughly washed my feet, but she still said my feet smiled.
- Her senses were heightened. - I see.
She got so sensitive.
I asked her what was wrong.
I even bought her ice candies.
- She didn't like the ones I got. - Ice candies?
- She was complaining. - Can you just say, "ice cream"?
- No, there were like popsicles. - Right.
- Ice cream is softer, but... - Popsicles are different.
- You get them from the ice box. - You get what I'm saying, right?
- That's right. - They are ice candies.
That term is so old.
- So I was... - There were rubber bags for ice.
Should I bring that up too?
- I... - It was only 2 cents.
- That's amazing. - I remember that.
We used to open the freezer and get the popsicles.
- Her sense of smell was heightened. - So I thought...
that we should check if she was pregnant or not.
She was really pregnant.
She got pregnant.
Joon, you figured out that your wife was pregnant,
but I heard Baek Kyoung didn't have a clue his wife was pregnant.
I had no idea.
We went on our honeymoon.
- We found out later... - She got pregnant on the honeymoon.
- It happened at once. - You didn't plan it?
- It's just like your group's name. - 1TYM.
It happened just like my group's name.
- Sometimes, it happens like that. - Will I become a legend then?
Then you have to be born from an egg.
(This is the birth of the legend.)
- Joon. - Yes, what's up?
You said that it would have to be over your dead body...
for you and Tae Woo to be in-laws.
You two don't fit together.
- It's because... - I can see why.
Think about this.
We are already a family. I can't let that happen within the family.
But you guys are not related by blood though.
If this happens, there might be an argument within the family.
- That's possible. - You know what I'm talking about?
Since they are already like siblings...
- What if they like each other? - What if they're seriously in love?
I am okay with that.
- If they love each other... - If the kids love each other...
Hey, I look like the bad guy! Ask me again.
If they love each other...
- I won't ask again. - Fine.
I'll ask myself the question again.
If they are really in love with each other, I must let them be.
Are you open to becoming an in-law of Jin Young?
No way. I'm sorry.
I think I'm going to be so tired. You get what I mean, right?
He will meddle in their relationship.
"This is how you hold hands."
"You can't fold your fingers like this."
(He insists on his method.)
I think it's going to be exhausting.
He's a perfectionist.
Even when he's 50 years old, he will nag.
"Why do you sing like that?"
You remember how he told us to kneel, raise our arms, and practice?
(But you know that I love you, right?)
Joon, you are the second member to get married in g.o.d.
Who will get married next?
- I think... - Wouldn't Kye Sang be next?
Since Kye Sang and Lee Honey are dating,
they would get married first.
- We never know though. - Right.
If it's not Kye Sang, other members...
are not even dating.
What about Shinhwa? Who's after Eric?
No one yet.
- What about Dong Wan? - I said no one.
(He puts on a straight face.)
Your answer was so firm.
Joon and Tae Woo, you guys starred on...
a program called "Babysitting Diaries" on MBC.
- I know from my experience. - You starred on a similar one.
Yes, I did.
Did that experience help when you were taking care of your baby?
- It happened 18 years ago. - If you were to compare...
That happened long ago.
At that time, all of us knew nothing about taking care of a baby.
- It was hectic. - Right.
It was crazy. We knew nothing, but it helped.
I knew why my baby was crying.
- There're only 2 reasons for it. - There are 3 reasons.
- That's right. - It's when they are hungry.
It's when they are hungry, pooped,
- or just felt like crying. - No, that's not right.
It's when they are uncomfortable.
(I see.)
- When they are uncomfortable. - Tae Woo is better at this.
- My baby was born 40 days ago. - I think the show helped.
I think it really did.
- It helped me a lot. - What was his name?
- It's Jae Min. - Jae Min.
He must be in college now.
- He was born in 1999. - He must be.
He was born in the early 1999.
- Really? - If he was born in 1999,
he must be a freshman in college or senior in high school.
Do you guys still talk?
- No. - Probably not.
You should know this though.
We know Jae Min,
- but he was a baby at that time. - That's true.
He won't remember it.
If a 50-year-old man says hello, he would be puzzled.
- I agree. - Maybe he heard of our group.
He has a valid point.
- I would feel the same. - The show...
ended when he was just learning to talk.
- That's right. - The show put you guys on the map.
- Don't you think so? - So...
It made who we are now.
There was a saying that g.o.d got famous because of Jae Min.
- There really was. - If you say that...
When Shinhwa had to skip over a car,
- they took care of a baby. - That's true.
- MBC made g.o.d famous. - It was thanks to Jae Min.
"Dream Team" made Shinwa famous.
- Right. - No, I made us famous.
(I didn't spare my body to make us famous.)
- Baek Kyoung, - Yes?
do you ask Tae Woo for advice since he has a lot of children?
Since he has a son now, he has 2 daughters and 1 son.
- The ratio of gender is perfect. - Right.
When we try next time to have another baby,
I would try if there's a guarantee that it's going to be a girl.
- You're afraid it might be a boy? - Yes. Besides, financially,
- raising a baby is already costly. - That's true.
- The more, the merrier. - I agree.
- Do you plan to have another one? - It's good in the future.
- No, I don't. - It will be good later on.
- How can I plan to have a kid? - You sound like you like kids.
- Please let me know. - If you try, you can.
- Aren't I skipping a step? - If he tries,
- he can. - How can I do that?
- If you get married, you can. - You can have another baby.
That's right.
Do you want a girl or a boy?
Excuse me?
- If you were to have a baby... - Well...
- Let me ask you a question. - You're lucky to get asked this.
- Should we continue with his story? - Sure.
What was the nickname of the fetus?
It was the Tall Fetus.
- Tall Fetus? - You wanted him to be tall?
- People who are short like us... - What a grand wish.
- You want him to be tall. - How ambitious.
- Tall Fetus. - Seo Jang Hoon is a good one too.
- "Jang Hoon". - That's the nickname?
(Hey, Jang Hoon. It's me, your dad.)
Jin, you said that when your friends brag about their children,
you brag about your dog?
Do you raise dogs?
- Yes, I have two dogs, - Which ones?
a poodle and a maltese.
- They don't suit Jun Jin. - They really don't.
-Big dogs suit him better. - This is how I came to have them.
I had another dog in the past.
He had to be hospitalized because he had enteritis.
Then the vet told me that I can take him back, so I did.
When I woke up the next day,
the dog was dead.
- I was so upset. - I bet you were.
I threw a fit at the animal clinic.
I didn't keep an animal afterwards.
It drove me crazy because I really wanted an animal.
Then I looked for an animal I can raise until the day I die.
- Reptiles are the best. - You can raise a snake.
- They don't recognize the owners. - I thought...
about raising a snake or a monkey, but people told me it would be hard.
So I went back to looking up dogs and decided on...
a poodle and a maltese since they don't shed a lot.
- They don't shed a lot. - That's how I came to raise them.
You should keep a turtle.
It takes them 50 years to become this big.
- Really? - Yes.
A turtle would be a nice choice.
A turtle can live long enough to watch your funeral.
(A turtle can live long enough to watch your funeral.)
Will the turtle be the chief mourner?
(My owner passed away.)
Your magnetic hand that catches anything on the stage...
has given birth to legendary memes.
- Gook Jin is good at that, too. - When the members...
called my name and threw something at me,
I caught it. I can react instantly.
The two of them should have a match.
- That's why the members... - Throw something at me.
- Gook Jin. - Wait a minute.
(He fails.)
What was that?
- I threw it from here. - Jin.
For goodness' sake.
What was that?
I had planned...
to catch it with this hand,
but I missed. I am sorry.
The members experimented a lot.
You are good at catching things.
That's how...
I caught the shuttlecock at "Infinite Challenge".
- The fans made a GIF. - Can you do it with chopsticks?
I can catch things with chopsticks.
- We made preparations. - Really?
It happens when I am not thinking about it.
I don't claim to be good at it at all times.
- What are these? - Will he catch those?
- Can you catch these? - Will this be easier?
- Ring-shaped snacks will be easier. - Ring-shaped snacks.
- They will be difficult too. - Try putting chopsticks through it.
Throw it.
- Maybe he can't do it. - You need to throw it straight.
It needs to fly in an arc.
Gook Jin should throw it. It should be thrown...
- in the right way. - I will throw it.
It's very small.
(The 2nd attempt)
This is hard.
- That was close. - This is hard.
- We are wasting snacks. - We can eat them later.
Let's go.
Catch it with chopsticks.
(A success)
Jun Jin is the best.
That was incredible.
- Jun Jin is the best. - His talent came out.
I think it works better...
- when I am not paying attention. - Really?
That's it.
(Catching)
(It's an impressive talent.)
When I drop a grain of rice, I catch it with my left hand.
- No way. - I do that.
- I do that. - You do, right?
I am telling you the truth. It's like...
It's like...
(It lands on Gook Jin's hand smoothly.)
(He is good.)
Did you see that?
- I caught it like this? - It would have hit me otherwise.
I can catch everything.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Since the day you debuted,
- your exotic looks... - Did you pass over me?
- Yes, we did. Your part is over. - We did it in a natural way.
I thought you were telling me...
that I have exotic looks. "I don't have exotic looks."
We passed over you in a very natural way.
I was going to say that I have looks of animated science fiction movies.
Were you and Joon mistaken for an illegal immigrant...
because of your exotic looks?
Joon and I spent a lot of time together...
because we got along.
We suffered financially before we debuted.
We ate one meal a day.
Joon was the only one with an income...
from appearing on "Soonpoong Clinic".
- He played a nurse. - Five men depended on that income.
- They depended on that income. - 280 to 300 dollars a month.
Since I had just moved to Seoul,
Joon decided to take me out for sightseeing.
- Were the other members busy? - Danny and Ho Young were out.
Kye Sang was meeting his girlfriend.
My goodness.
They don't protect each other.
- It happened in the past. - It was 1999.
Joon drove me around Seoul.
We came across a burger place.
I was 18 years old at the time.
I said, "I want to eat a hamburger."
Joon is the kind of man...
who stays confident despite the lack of money.
"Hamburger? Okay."
He took money out of his pocket. The coins jingled.
There was just enough money for one hamburger.
We went and he bought one hamburger.
He said, "Eat it."
- He is cool. - "What about you?"
"I am American. I am sick and tired of hamburgers."
He said that.
"Really? Okay. Thank you." I was about to dig in,
but he was staring at me.
(The memory makes him embarrassed.)
I tore the hamburger with my hands and gave him the half.
When I looked outside and back, he was done with it.
(Joon had eaten the hamburger in an instant.)
- You said you were sick of it. - You must have been hungry.
On our way back home, Joon said,
"Don't tell the others."
(The hamburger was soaked with tears.)
Tae Woo, you are loved for your incredible singing skills.
You said that god's concept for its debut was H.O.T cosplay.
Every group has a concept. For an example, H.O.T...
- had unique costumes. - Everything was set up.
We didn't have that.
We were done with recording songs and were scheduled to perform on TV.
The president of the agency drank and came to the dormitory.
He said, "We must overthrow H.O.T."
- That's a one way to do it. - "H.O.T is our rival."
"Joon, you are charismatic when you don't say anything."
"You can dance well. Your rival is Jang Woo Hyuk."
- I can see that. - Every agency was like that.
Kye Sang is very funny.
"Kye Sang, since you are funny, your rival is Moon Hee Jun."
"Danny, you have sharp looks. Your rival is Kangta."
Was Danny's rival Kangta?
"Ho Young, your rival is Tony since you have a cute smile."
I asked, "What about me?"
"Since you are tall, your rival is Lee Jae Won."
- It doesn't match. - No, it doesn't.
They aren't similar in the slightest.
For our first public appearance,
Kye Sang was responsible for talking.
- That's right. - We were on a radio program.
He sidetracked a lot and ended up ruining the interview.
I bet he wasn't prepared.
We took the elevator down the building.
The president of the agency said, "Kye Sang, you jerk."
"I will end you if you open your mouth again."
It was since then that he became traumatized.
That's when he became taciturn.
- He wasn't like that at first. - He was originally Moon Hee Jun.
(I am sorry.)
Baek Kyoung, you contributed a lot to the founding of YG Entertainment.
That's right.
I heard that you became a trainee...
because you annoyed Yang Hyun Suk.
That's how you became a trainee.
I first met Yang Hyun Suk...
when the late Kim Young Sam was the president.
That's a long time ago.
- That's a long time ago. - He was the president.
That's right.
YG Entertainment has had...
- its rise and fall. - You watched it rise.
I watched it rise after it fell for a while.
- It rose after it fell. - I heard that YG Entertainment...
only had 3,000 dollars during its financial struggle.
- That's right. - They couldn't pay the employees.
Keep Six.
Keep Six was a part of the agency.
The ambiance was bleak at the agency.
I went to the audition, but I didn't pass.
Had I known about their tastes,
I would have sung hip hop or rhythm and blues songs.
I sang "Kungtari Shabara" by Clon.
It's not a song you sing at an audition.
Also...
I don't know if I should say this, but Yang Hyun Suk doesn't like Clon.
I don't know if they have a history.
They don't get along.
- They don't get along. - I can't believe he said that.
They are not very close.
It's no wonder that I didn't pass the audition.
I realized that if I don't plead with him,
- I wouldn't become a singer. - You wouldn't become a singer.
I learned the number of Yang Hyun Suk's pager.
Back then, if there were more than 10 messages in the pager,
the owner had to delete them.
They had to do it to receive new messages.
I filled his pager...
- with recordings of my singing. - That's impressive.
- Later on... - "I will end him."
- "I will end him." - He was exactly like that.
He couldn't receive new messages because of Baek Kyoung.
He couldn't work because of my messages.
He got angry and told me to visit the agency.
That's when I brought...
my own work that plagiarized "Come Back Home" a bit.
(Laughing)
It was homage to "Come Back Home".
That's right.
Yang Hyun Suk listened to it...
and realized that I have potentials.
"I don't intend to make you a singer."
"Start by cleaning up the building." That's how I worked diligently.
You were in Sugarless with Lee Eun Joo,
the madam of YG Entertainment.
Only you didn't know that she is dating Yang Hyun Suk.
Others told you that you are ignorant in love.
Everyone else knew about it.
Oh Jin Hwan said, "You need to stop badmouthing Yang Hyun Suk..."
"in front of Lee Eun Joo."
I thought he was speaking nonsense.
I didn't want to believe it.
Why didn't you want to believe it? Did you like her?
No, no.
That's a good point.
It's not like that.
I thought the situation itself didn't make any sense.
When we were working as members of Sugarless,
we performed at a lot of events.
We had to spend a long time in the car to go to the countryside.
It was in front of Lee Eun Joo...
that I often talked about Yang Hyun Suk.
- You badmouthed him. - It wasn't a serious badmouthing.
It was a joke.
I often talked about him in a joking manner.
I don't think she relayed what I said to him.
It wasn't a serious badmouthing.
"Yang Hyun Suk's feet stink."
"Even rotten cheonggukjang would smell like that."
That's pretty serious.
You ended him with your words.
- It was a joke. - It's a personal attack.
Perhaps that's why I am no longer in YG Entertainment.
(I will work hard on my curry restaurant.)
How are the other members doing?
As you know, Teddy has the full support of the agency.
He is the head of The Black Label.
Danny went to the US.
He is the MC of the podcast that introduces Korean contents.
- Danny. - Danny.
As for me, I sit on the restaurant counter.
Oh Jin Hwan...
mostly do the dishes.
Both you and Teddy have a talent in composing songs.
Why don't you ask for a chance to give your songs to new artists?
To be honest,
both Teddy and Baek Kyoung...
- have unrivaled talent in music. - That's what I am saying.
It's unfortunate that he isn't doing more.
- It's nothing unfortunate. - It is unfortunate.
I wish he would do more. He has a great talent.
I tried my best to write songs,
but not many of them got released.
I gave one song each to Wheesung and Gummy.
You must have a song that brings in a regular income.
I don't. There is a theme song of "High Kick!"
It must have brought in a lot of money.
It was the most successful one among my songs.
Doesn't it go, "High, high"?
- "High kick, high kick" - Oh, you wrote that one?
- That's the song. - Composing the song gave me...
twice as much as royalty from my 1TYM days.
(It brings him a lot of money.)
I heard the members of Shinhwa competed to take the center.
- Min Woo took the center. - It's Min Woo.
I took the center first,
but it blocked Min Woo from the view.
(Jun Jin is tall.)
Was that the only reason?
I won't say more.
- Did other members have no qualms? - They are about the same in height.
Andy and Erik are the wings.
They are the handsome wings.
That's right. They are great.
- What about Dong Wan? - He is short.
He is the bone.
- He is the cartilage. - He brings us together.
That's the group.
Every part is necessary.
- You need muscles and bones. - Cartilage.
How tall is Min Woo?
He is as tall as you.
I didn't mean it like that.
From the day I debuted,
I have never lied about my height.
I give the number to the decimal point.
It goes from 163.8 to 163.9cm.
Min Woo is taller.
Min Woo's profile says that he is 10cm taller than me.
That's wrong.
When I am with him...
I didn't say anything.
People like Jin and Tae Woo don't know the difference...
between the short people.
Only we know the difference.
(They look like they are close in height.)
One time, Min Woo gave a solo concert.
To support him,
I went up the stage and said hello to the fans.
One reporter...
titled the article, "A Father and a Son".
("A Father and a Son")
- I am serious. - Is he that short?
I only speak the truth. I don't lie.
Okay. Okay.
Min Woo is handsome.
- He is cool. - He is a good dancer.
Min Woo is handsome.
He is the best.
(They end the conversation on a beautiful note.)
Baek Kyoung was the short member of YG Entertainment.
However, Tae Woo said...
there was a moment Baek Kyoung seemed taller than him.
- He looked very cool back then. - When was this?
- I don't know if he would remember. - When was this?
He and I graduated from the same university.
One professor had majored in classical music.
He said popular music is inferior to classical music...
during the lecture.
I thought to myself, "He went to far."
I said so to Baek Kyoung.
Baek Kyoung suddenly said, "I think you are wrong."
- The professor made his argument. - It was a battle.
- He backed up his claim. - That's right.
However, Baek Kyoung made a counterargument.
- That's cool. - He looked very big.
Did it lead to a protest?
Why would anyone protest over such a trivial matter?
(Annoyed)
In Baek Kyoung's memory...
of Tae Woo of g.o.d, he is remembered as someone...
who was the most aware of his celebrity status.
- Me? - You saw through him.
Tae Woo complimented you.
The memories could differ.
He is very close to my wife.
- Really? - We went to the same school.
With the second album, g.o.d became the national idol group.
Tae Woo was the only one who had come from Gumi.
The fame opened the new world for him.
He earned the title of the national singer...
and everyone's attention.
He moved up ranks in a short amount of time.
From Kim Tae Woo of Gumi,
- he became Kim Tae Woo of g.o.d. - He became the voice of the world.
Whenever we went to a karaoke...
and decided to go to a coffee shop,
he asked his friends...
to come to the karaoke.
Then he asked them to go to the roof of the other building...
and see if there are reporters or fans around.
- Did I do that? - It had to be checked.
- It had to be checked... - Gosh, Tae Woo.
before he changed locations.
He did that.
It's possible.
- Do you think I would do that? - I heard stories, too.
I didn't know about it.
You were full of yourself.
- You were full of yourself. - Did you wife tell you that?
It was a rumor...
- among the friends in your class. - It was a rumor.
I guess you could think of it...
as being extra careful.
However, the rumors at school were bad back then.
(He attacks one more time.)
(Tae Woo is in tatters.)
As you know, g.o.d and 1TYM debuted around the same time.
Tae Woo was the first member I exchanged numbers with.
- I think you are right. - After the shoot,
- we talked on the phone for hours. - That's right.
You were close.
"The newly-debuted idol groups other than g.o.d and 1TYM..."
"lack the talent. They aren't that great."
"Only g.o.d and 1TYM will make it big."
Do you remember saying that on the phone?
(He has no words.)
Tae Woo said a lot of things.
- Back then, - It wasn't like that.
Shinhwa wasn't a newly-debuted idol group.
- We didn't talk about Shinhwa. - Shinhwa was a senior idol group.
Shinhwa was our role model.
We strove to be like Shinhwa.
Back then...
I hope Jin gets a call from "Infinite Challenge".
Stop it already.
Stop bringing up "Infinite Challenge".
Okay, okay. Okay.
(The national heartthrobs are fun to pick on.)
A lot of celebrities are from Gumi.
Jang Woo Hyuk and Kim Tae Woo are a few examples.
These days, Hwang Chi Yeul is moving his way up.
- Many celebrities are from Gumi. - I heard your parents are worried.
- Gumi is a small community. - That's right.
My dad called me suddenly.
"What are you doing?"
"I was recording."
"It looks like you should work hard."
(That sounds scary.)
Your father said that.
"What are you talking about?"
"Was his name Hwang Chi Yeul?"
"He is moving his way up."
"Chi Yeul? He made it big in China."
"That won't do."
"You are the face of Gumi."
(You are the face of Gumi.)
- "You are the face of Gumi." - "You are the face of Gumi."
- He has lived there all his life. - "You are the face of Gumi."
He felt uncomfortable when his friends told him,
"Hwang Chi Yeul is very popular these days."
(It's understandable.)
That's why I worked hard on my new album.
(I will work hard, Dad.)
Celebrities who were born in the year of chicken include...
Park Hyo Shin, Wheesung, and Hwanhee.
- Tae Woo, you are one of them. - That's right.
People with good voices are born in the year of chicken.
When those celebrities go to a karaoke,
they have a song battle.
- All of them are good singers. - It happened...
when Wheesung was on a leave from the army.
He called and said, "Buy me a drink."
He must have craved for it since he hadn't drunk for 100 days.
"All right. Let's drink."
I had already gathered Hyung Soo and friends.
We went to the karaoke together.
- Hyun Soo is K.will, right? - Yes.
Gook Jin thought you were referring to someone's wife.
That's why I brought it up.
He was frowning and thinking, "Who is he talking about?"
- It's K.will. - All right.
- I was curious. - You were, right?
- I was curious. - "I was curious."
"Who could Hyung Soo be?"
- "Who is he talking about?" - I usually don't refuse...
when someone asks me to sing my song at karaoke.
However, it's embarrassing to do that in front of singers.
Wheesung drank and became a bit tipsy.
Then he began to sing "Can't We".
- He sang his song. - He sang his song.
He sang with all his heart, right?
I had performed with him.
It was the best performance I had seen from him.
That's hard to do.
He went...
(You surprised us.)
I thought he would be done afterwards,
but he sang "With Me".
Then K.will joined in...
and sang his own song.
I also called people.
What's amazing is...
We began talking about Wheesung.
- Hold on. Joon. - Are you sleeping?
Honestly, I'm sleepy.
(He admits it right away.)
I get it.
- I saw his eyes from the side. - I get it.
- You know? - I know.
I came back to Korea from abroad yesterday.
I'm jet-lagged,
- and because of my baby... - Your baby.
The stories today are incredibly long.
- They could be shortened. - I'll be short.
Besides, I can't even understand them all. You know what I mean?
- I can't even laugh. - Also...
I took part in a reserve forces drill.
I saw a blonde guy from a distance.
It was Wheesung.
(Let's hear it.)
We greeted each other.
I told him to relax.
He sat next to me and suddenly talked about...
my solo album. "I love your voice."
(Focused)
"I studied voice recently."
"Please call me. With a number of lessons,"
"you'll beat Kim Bum Soo."
(You'll beat Kim Bum Soo, the best singer.)
I'm serious. In that situation,
since my junior complimented me...
- and said I have a nice voice... - "You'll beat Kim Bum Soo".
"Everyone feels differently about one's voice."
"You have a nice voice."
There were many people there.
It was a reserved forces drill, and we were exhausted.
However, he told me to make a sound.
- No way. - Seriously?
- You didn't make it up, did you? - My goodness.
- Beside me... - You didn't make it up, right?
No, no. The people who were in my group...
were resting in silence.
For 45 minutes, we practiced.
(They practiced singing for 45 minutes at a quiet training center.)
I see.
(Is somebody talking about me?)
(That's funny.)
Every time Baek Kyoung was struggling,
there was a girl who helped him. Was it Lee Eun Joo?
No, it's Lee Hyo Ri.
- I see. - Hyo Ri. You are of the same age.
To my mother,
she gave 1,000 dollars to use for my hospital expenses.
- Really? - She gave it in an indifferent way.
- Do you guys still keep in touch? - Anyway...
Unfortunately, I can't get a hold of her these days.
(They aren't buying it.)
She moved to Jeju Island long ago. You each have your own life.
That too, and I worked on...
an album as a rapper before.
She somehow found out that I wasn't paid for my rapping work.
She spared 1,000 dollars from her performance fee.
- She gave you the money separately. - For my work.
That's why I have about 2,000 dollars of debt.
I need to pay her back,
- but I can't get a hold of her. - Go to Jeju Island.
- Hyo Ri will perform soon. - That's right.
- How will I get her account number? - That's not it.
Just send a curry food truck when she's at a shoot.
(Send a curry food truck when she's at a shoot.)
That's a good idea.
- That's a good idea. - A coffee food truck would be nice.
That would be great.
Hyo Ri will be on Radio Star next week. I'll pass the message.
- On Radio Star... - He can send it.
Or you can give me 2,000 dollars.
(I'll pass it over to her.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
We prepared it because the legendary boys of...
the end of 20th century are here with us.
"The Song to be Remembered by the Girls in 2017".
For Radio Star,
the four idol singers of the old SM, YG, and JYP...
- urgently formed a group. - Is that so?
The former g.o.d, Shinhwa, and 1TYM formed "g.o.d-Shin-TYM".
- g.o.d-Shin-TYM. - Let's hear the song they chose.
- All right. - Yes.
("One Love" was the title song of 1TYM's second album.)
It's a song by 1TYM.
- Kim Jong Seo composed this song? - That's right.
- I see. - Jong Seo composed the verse.
- Kim Jong Seo. - Its melody resembles his songs.
That's true.
- A moment - He has a song like that?
Yes.
I still remember the way I look in that moment
- That's right. - Jong Seo.
(He sounds just like him.)
- That's right. - Jong Seo.
- All right. - He composed that part.
g.o.d-Shin-TYM will sing "One Love".
- "One Love". - "One Love".
("One Love" by g.o.d-Shin-TYM)
(He's ready to express the emotions of the end of the 20th century.)
- Say what? 1TYM - 1TYM
G.o.d is in the house
- Everyone, remember - He's the best one in Korea.
(Nervous)
(His voice is soulful from the beginning.)
Song Baek Kyoung
(I first met you on a cold winter day)
(I was lonely and it was a really difficult day)
(White)
(Jin keeps helping Baek Kyoung with his rap.)
(I remember the day as if it was yesterday)
(I remember the time when I was fearless as if it was yesterday)
(We shared our beautiful youth)
(20 years have passed,)
(but we're still together!)
(My precious dear, don't you ever forget)
(that I'll always be yours right here)
(Jin, you can become Kim Bum Soo.)
(He sings passionately.)
(He summoned Kim Bum Soo's soulful voice!)
(Wheesung, are you watching me?)
(Smiling)
- Thank you. - Like this, to the break of dawn
- It's a really good song. - It's really nice.
After hearing the song,
I'm sure there will be a comment like this online.
"Teddy is indeed the best one in 1TYM."
- No, no. - Come on.
- He keeps discouraging himself. - That's not it.
You'll become shorter if you keep doing that.
- I'm serious. - Baek Kyoung.
Have confidence from now on.
(Confidence)
You need a lot of confidence.
- That's right. - All right.
- "JSG" for confidence. - Today was...
"National Heartthrob in My Heart Special".
Tell us what you thought about today. We'll begin with Joon.
I always have fun here.
I get to talk comfortably as if you were my family.
Since I was on the show as a daddy,
it somehow felt different.
When I see female students now, I think that their skirts are...
- way too short because I'm a dad. - That's right.
My thoughts have changed a lot.
- I guess I've become a bit maturer. - I see.
- You've become a dad now. - That's true.
Kim Tae Woo from Gumi.
(What did Tae Woo think about the show?)
Now,
as I get older, there are more descriptions about me.
I'm a dad, and I'm a husband.
I'm the CEO of my company as well as a producer.
I thought that I'd like to become someone whose has energy...
to work hard all the time...
after talking with everyone here today.
- Baek Kyoung. - Yes.
I came to a broadcasting station after 10 years.
I had so much fun because the show was Radio Star.
I'll now go back to who I was before.
I personally hope that Baek Kyoung will be active...
on television shows as of today.
He's still as humorous as he was before.
(Jong Shin bursts out laughing.)
I'll go back to who I was before...
- as a small business owner... - You could...
- and work hard. - You could be active on TV shows.
See how things go...
- without being so assertive. - He's right.
- I've been assertive all my life. - Don't be too assertive.
- You no longer need to do that. - See how it goes.
- Baek Kyoung is the radio's star. - You're right.
- Jin, how did you find the show? - What does that mean?
- What does that mean? - I almost...
- agreed with him like a robot. - I don't get it.
- "The radio's star." - What is that?
Are you telling him to host a radio show?
- He used to be a radio deejay. - That's not what I meant.
"The radio's star..." I kept wondering what it meant.
His comment made me think a lot.
Jin, what did you think about the show?
While talking with you earlier,
I almost thought that I went back in time briefly.
I was reminded of many memories from the past.
I'd like to see you all for a long time.
There will be more to talk about from now on.
- I'd like to grow older like this. - Sure, sure.
That's what I thought.
- Today... - Did you hear me with sincerity?
- Yes. - Yes, yes.
- Do you have plans? - He said "yes" seven times.
- He wants to wrap up soon. - How touching.
Gosh, that was so touching.
- It was so touching. - That's really nice.
- It was very touching. - He gave you a nice gift.
- It's nice. - It was my gift.
- I'll use it well. - It's really nice.
Key, you were a special host today.
We should hear what you thought about the show.
I had so much fun. Most importantly,
seeing my seniors be on the show together was really nice.
I often thought that it'd be nice to be on a TV show...
with the other singers like Highlight or 2PM...
when we get older while talking about the past.
I hope you'll perform until Tae Min is in his 60s.
(He cuts off the touching vibe.)
That'll be a bit hard...
(Idols in their 60s?)
From 1998 until now,
these national heartthrobs kept the sentiments of their fans.
Please cheer up,
and love and remember them...
with a hot passion.
"National Heartthrob in My Heart".
We will say goodbye here.
- See you next week. - Please.
