- This is strange.
Something is going on today.
- It's 3 hours earlier than usual.
- Yeah.
- They were asked to come earlier than usual.
This is Express Terminal Station
where you can get bus tickets for any place you want to go to in Korea.
Finally this episode.
Here we go!
- I have the feeling that
it's going to be a long-distance trip today.
- I think we are going to leave at a fixed time.
- Yeah, if the location is fixed.
- I'm sure there is a specific bus we are supposed to catch.
- A long-distance trip is something we've never done before.
- I can hear them.
- I can't.
Where are we going? To the left?
I can't see anything.
- What are we supposed to do?
- We've never been outside of Seoul.
- Please out of my way.
Out of my way.
- Look at them. - Coming through.
- We're shooting another TV show.
- They're women.
And by the look of their hands, they're entertainers.
- What are you talking about?
- You nails give me the impression that you're an entertainer.
- Look at them. - No, you're mistaken.
- Look at their toenails and ankles. They are entertainers.
They are clearly not actresses.
Dirty ankles are proof.
- They're suited for variety shows.
- Come on!
- I'm sure they're entertainers.
- We're cute girls.
I love you. - Look at that. Such an entertainer.
What a cute hand.
- Because it's small.
- She has an entertainer's hand.
- You can tell from her hand?
- You guys are mistaken.
- It's going to be a fun episode today.
- It's going to be 'Let's have fun together' rather than 'Let's have dinner together'.
- Reveal yourselves.
Hey, Narae.
- Hi!
- You got me.
- Today's guests are...
Comedians Park Na-rae and Jang Do-yeon.
- What is this thing?
- This?
- I told you.
- Ah, that?
- There are names of places written on it.
For example, this might be Daejeon...
- Well...
Maybe this is Ulsan.
- Is there a chance that they're all the same place, like South Jeolla Province?
- That's a possibility.
- One might be South Jeolla and another Jangsung.
- You didn't know, did you? - Hey, no need to hurry.
- Why are you taking it out already?
- It's fine.
- Let's see what is on the other side. - Okay.
- We shouldn't just take it out.
This is something Kyung-gyu doesn't like.
3, 2, 1.
Like this.
He hates it when someone hesitates.
- That tension.
-Okay, let's do it.
Next to Gwan-ju is...
- Hey, get me some water. I need to take panic attack pills.
- Come on. You like us, don't you?
- I'm having a panic attack.
- Okay, here we go!
- Daegu?
That's far away from Gwang-ju.
- It takes 3 and a half hours to go to Gwanju by bus.
- Yeah.
- It's the same for Daegu. - 3 and a half hours.
- Sorry. - Like this.
We should pick this place. - It's nearby.
- Masan. - Masan.
- Are you from Masan?
- Yeah, he is from Masan.
- Mokpo.
- Actually I'm from Mokpo.
- Let's see this one. - 3, 2, 1.
Youngkwang.
I'm from Youngkwang.
It's known for dried yellow corvina.
- I've been there before for a TV show.
- Really?
- I had this corvina...
with green tea and ice.
- You mean the cold dish, right?
- And rice. And I can't still forget... - A bit of chili paste with it.
- the taste of it after all these years. My tongue remembers it.
- Maybe it's still stuck between your teeth?
- I can smell it. - It's a memory.
- You mean it was that good, right?
- Yes. I can't forget it.
I tell you. Youngkwang Corvina is the real deal.
Trust me.
Mokpo long arm octopus.
- Long arm octopus. - My parents run an octopus restaurant.
- Grilled short rib patties?
- Gwanju short rib patties.
Daegu is famous for intestines.
- Yeah, right.
- Cheongju's specialty is sweet potatoes.
- So if we go there, we eat sweet potatoes? - That's right.
Nobody knows where we will be going today yet.
As a response to people's requests living in parts of Korea outside of Seoul,
We've prepared a special episode.
We have no fixed plans. The destination will be randomly decided.
Where will they be heading today?
- Because we're going to have dinner with strangers...
- We need to tidy this place up.
I can handle it.
Since this is a public place.
- Sorry. I was just standing here.
- He's doing it just to show people how caring he is.
- He's being pretentious.
You need to throw that garbage away. Why did you put it in there?
- Because I can't find a trash can around here.
I'll throw it away later.
- Who wants to turn it now?
- Huh?
- Who should turn this thing?
- Together.
- So we won't have to blame anyone.
- 3, 2, 1.
- Go!
It's turning.
- Oh. - I'm nervous.
- Let's see.
- Masan? Masan?
- Youngkwang?
Gwangju!
- It's a good choice.
- It's great.
- Is it?
It's good? Really?
- Wow.
- How about we go to Gwangju in Gyeonggi-do?
- Wow, you're a genius.
- You like the idea?
- Gwangju in Gyeonggi-do.
- It a 30-minute ride from here.
Since they didn't specify which Gwangju it is.
- That's right.
It doesn't say anything about a province.
- Would that be okay? - Gwangju.
Gwangju is really famous for food.
- Kyung-gyu. - Let's go to Gwangju.
- In Gwangju, even the smallest restaurants give you 12 side dishes. - That's right.
- Gwangju is a nice place.
- They have amazing food there.
How do you say "Let's have dinner together" in Jeolla dialect?
- "Hey lads and lasses, let's gobble up"
- Let's gobble up.
- Today's destination.
The city of light, Gwangju.
It's a central place for finance, administration, and culture in the southwest of Korea.
It is also a historically important place.
We have nothing planned out.
Will we be able to "gobble up" with locals?
Episode 38, "Oh My Days"
- We can buy tickets here.
- 11:25.
- Can we get four tickets for Gwangju, please?
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
- We haven't decided who is to team up with whom yet.
- That's right. - How about we decide that by using these tickets?
Everything is random today.
- Yeah. - Life itself is random.
- Take one each.
I'll take this one.
- I'm 4.
- I'm 7.
- Gyung-kyu and I are not the same team. - 5!
- 8.
- Theyâre awkward together.
So awkward.
- Let's go.
- We get along well.
- They shouldn't be running around like that in a public place, right?
Let's go.
Hello.
- There is a lot of space in here.
- How long does it take?
- 3 and a half hours.
- 3 and a half hours?
- Luckily you guys are available today.
Thank you for coming on our show.
- That's scary.
- He's scaring me.
- Why does he suddenly turn into a different person?
Stick to your mean character throughout, please.
- They're finally on the bus bound for Gwangju.
Now they have to decide which part of Gwanju they will visit.
- So where in Gwangju?
- Anywhere.
- Where should we go?
- Gwangju...
- Gwangju is a huge place.
- Yeah, it's a big city.
- It's so big compared to my hometown, Mokpo.
- Where should we go?
- Let's ask Yun-ho from DVXQ.
- Oh.
Good.
- Are you friends with him?
- He is from here.
- I don't have his number.
- Sorry?
- Come on.
I can ask Su-ji. But I don't have her number either.
- Ask Jin-young.
- Jin-young?
She's probably busy now, but let me try.
- Who?
As far as I know, she went to a university here.
- That's right. - Yeah.
- Hello?
- Hello.
- Oh, Na-rae.
- Hey.
- Say you're with your boyfriend.
- I'm going to Gwangju with my boyfriend.
- Oh, wow.
- Where should we go?
Talk to him.
- Really?
- Hello.
- I'm Na-rae's boyfriend.
- Ah, right.
So you guys are going to Gwangju together?
- Yes, it's our first long-distance trip. We are going to spend the night together.
- Honey, don't tell her that.
- By the way, I have a friend here. He's good-looking.
You want to talk to him?
- Oh, yeah?
- You're supposed to be Ho-dong's friend.
- I can't do that.
- Why not?
- Come on. I'm not going to do it.
Hey, I'm Gyung-kyu.
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.
We're shooting 'Let's have dinner together'.
We're going to Gwangju for this episode.
And we thought you could recommend a good place for us.
- I was born in a town called Bongsun.
- It's called Bongsun village.
- Bongsun village?
- Yeah.
It has a great view.
I think it's a good place for your show.
- Thanks, Jin-young.
- Bye, Na-rae. Talk to you later.
- Thanks. - Bye.
- So you're going to Gwangju?
- Where do you recommend?
Bongsun village?
- Do you remember that restaurant?
- Ah, that place.
- Yeah, that's Bongsun village.
- Apparently there is a place called 'Penguin village'.
- What?
- It's near Bongsun village.
- Oh, there are paintings on the walls.
- Yeah.
- It's like a place for artists or something.
There are gardens as well.
- Hey, it says here that Penguin village is a recommended place.
- I guess it's a famous place?
It sounds good.
- Yeah?
- We think it's good too.
- Where?
- Apparently it's a cultural village.
- Can I see pictures?
- These are all houses where people live.
- There are people living there?
Nice.
Interesting.
- Penguin!
- They unanimously decided to visit Penguin Village.
What kind of place will that be?
But there was another important thing to consider.
- With that kind of attitude.
- We don't have much experience in this industry.
I became a comedian because I wanted to meet Jang Dong-min.
You dreamed of becoming a comedian because of him.
- When I was a middle school student, I put salad on toast.
I ate it and I was so full that I cried.
But it was good. - And a box of grapes.
- I ate a whole box of grapes when I was a young girl.
- Can I move to another seat?
- Sorry? - You're having fun, right?
- You guys are so loud.
I want to change the seat.
- We used to work for KBS.
At that time, Kim Joon-ho was like our 'comedic father'.
- Yeah.
- And here is another comedic father.
A comedic grandfather.
- You're our comedic grandpa. - Comedic grandpa.
- Comedic grandpa, Kyung-gyu. -
- Kyung-gyu is my comedic grandpa.
- Can I go to the front?
- Where are you going?
- Comedic grandpa.
You have a new nickname now.
- You want me to throw this water at you?
- Ok, then I can take a shower.
- We are happy with that.
- We can take a shower, we are happy, you're a comedic grandpa.
- It's like a song.
- Stop it.
- Comedic grandpa says stop it.
- Wow.
It's like a hiphop song.
- It's a good song. - Comedic grandpa says "stop it".
- You're happy with us, right?
- It's so much fun, right?
- All the way to Gwangju together. Exciting.
- It's going to take them another 3 hours to get there.
- Comedic grandpa, comedic grandpa.
Kyung-gyu is a comedic grandpa.
- I had a bad dream last night. Maybe that's why...
- Suddenly...
- That dream predicted the future.
- Wow.
- It's like we are on a picnic.
- It's so much fun.
- I want to live for 100 years with my lovely comedic grandpa.
You are my dear comedic grandpa.
My dear comedic grandpa forever.
- This is terrible.
- Finally some peace and quiet.
After a 3-hour ride, they're now entering Gwangju.
- We're nearly there.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, it's Gwangju.
The bus terminal looks nice.
Gwangju.
- It's huge.
- Yeah.
- Wow. - Wow. So many buses.
- It's hot.
- Wow, Gwangju.
Since we are in Gwangju, we need speak the Gwangju dialect (*Speaking in a local dialect).
- That's a terrible accent.
- We should never speak the Seoul dialect here.
- I don't understand a word you're saying.
- I mean, it's all good. (*Speaking gibberish)
- What?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- We need to grab that bus, 09.
Bound for Indong.
- Indong?
- According to my internet search...
- It's coming soon.
- Oh, here it comes.
- That one. - That's the one.
- Is that really the one?
- Yes, it is.
- It goes to Penguin Village.
- Is this bus going to Penguin Village?
- How about Jeonnam University Hospital?
- Yeah, it goes past the hospital.
- This is the one. - Yeah.
- Although you've aged a bit...
- Jeonnam University.
From here?
- 10 stops.
- They say it takes about 30 minutes. - Hello.
Where are you going?
- I'm going to a hakwon. (*hakwon: private educational institution)
- So you're a student?
- He's trying to communicate with locals.
- He's so awkward.
- Ho-dong, you're doing it wrong.
- Am I?
- Sorry?
- Am I doing it wrong?
- Sorry, what?
- Am I awkward?
- He can't understand a thing.
So awkward.
- I'm not sure we are going in the right direction.
- We are hearing for Jeonnam University, right? Then this is the right direction.
- Hello.
Do you know Penguin Village?
- Yes, but I've never been there.
- Is Yanglim Village close to Jeonnam University Hospital?
- Yes.
- Then we need to get off at Jeonnam University Hospital, right?
Then this is the right way.
- We know nothing about this area.
- Amazing.
- Did we go past Chungjang Road?
This is Chungjang Road, isn't it?
- The bus is passing through...
Chungjang Road, a.k.a Myong-dong of Gwangju.
- That used to be the city hall.
And now it is Asia Culture Center.
Riding along Geumran Road, which is a historically symbolic place for May 18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising...
They go past the old city hall, the place in which people fought against the regime.
- We need to get off here. - We need to get off.
Let's get off.
- Here?
- Yes, the next stop.
- Which way is it?
- This way?
- Which village?
- This way.
We need to walk straight.
- No, it's this way.
- That way?
No.
- Oh.
- It's so hot. (*Speaking the Jeolla dialect)
- Yeah, it is.
- It's scorching hot.
- Yeah.
- So hot. - Baking hot.
- Huh?
- I said it's baking hot.
- Terribly hot. -
The weather is crazy.
- Even the staff are confused.
- Everyone is confused.
- Let's ask the locals.
Where is Penguin Village?
- It's that way.
- Oh, she knows.
- Yeah.
- Ah, a traditional market.
- Wow, nice.
- Great.
- There is a train there.
- Ma'am, how are you? (Speaking the Jeolla dialect)
- Where is Penguin Village?
- How to get to Penguin Village?
- We need to go to Penguin Village.
- This way?
- Hello.
- I love traditional markets.
- Namgwangju Market is a famous seafood market.
It was developed by merchants coming from nearby places.
They gathered around Namgwangju Station and started selling stuff.
Since Gwangju is located closed to both the sea and crop fields,
traditional markets are always full of fresh foods.
- That's fermented stingray. - Oh, fermented stingray.
- Jella Province is known for its delicious food and people's generosity.
- Hello.
What's that?
- Oh my days.
- Sorry? Soup and rice?
- Oh my days.
- Let's shake hands.
- Ma'am, are these wild ginseng?
- Oh.
- Ma'am, what are these?
- That's ginseng.
- They are so big.
- Wow.
- They're huge. - Can I become a strongman if I eat this?
- I'm from Mokpo.
- Wow, you're popular here.
- Because this is like my hometown. - Yeah.
- Are you proud of her because she is from Jeolla province?
- Yes.
- Oh my days, thank you for saying that.
- Why do you keep saying "Oh my days"?
- It's just how Jeolla people express their happiness.
Oh my days.
Wow, look at those pig feet.
- Wow.
- I heard "Oh my days" more than ten times as I was walking through here.
- It's a way of expressing your excitement. - Excitement.
- Wow, oh my days.
- It's the Jeolla equivalent of the Gyeongsang expression "Oh my mother".
- Oh my mother?
- Yeah.
- Oh my days.
- Are they alive?
- Yes.
- They will go well with instant noodles.
Right? - They should be steamed.
- They will add a nice flavor to the soup.
- They make soups taste a lot better. - Yeah, tasty.
- We don't say "tasty" here. We say "deadly".
It's so tasty that you die.
- We say "it's so fresh" in Gyeongsang Province.
- We say "deadly".
"It's deadly".
She is Park Na-rae.
- Seeing all that stuff makes me hungry.
- We need to go to Penguin Village.
- Yeah, Penguin Village.
Hang on.
- Where is Penguin Village? - Sorry?
You need to go this way.
- Okay, I'll explain to you.
Turn right before you hit the first bridge.
Then you'll get to Yanglim Bridge. Cross that and there you'll see Penguin Village.
Before crossing the bridge?
Yes, turn left before you hit the first bridge. Then you'll see another bridge.
- What are these?
- Small crabs.
- They're so tasty when cooked.
- They're all caught in Beolgyo.
- They're so nice.
- They're alive. - Yeah, they're fresh.
- They should be pickled.
Let's just follow this road.
- Look. We're here.
- What's that?
- It says "culture village" here.
- So we've entered the village.
- We're in Yanglim Village.
- This is the place.
- These walls are as tall as us.
- They've come to Yanglim Village,
where there are lots of 20th century style houses and buildings.
And finally.
- Oh.
I can see the paintings that I saw on the internet earlier.
- Yeah?
Oh, yeah.
- These buildings all look different.
- Here it is. - This is it.
Here.
- Oh, penguins.
- What are they?
Are they a couple?
- Why is this place called Penguin Village?
- We get old as time goes by.
And old people walk like penguins.
So that's why it's called Penguin Village.
- Ho-dong.
There are lots of penguins in here.
- Yeah?
- Finally, we've found penguins.
- Can I have a look?
- Cute.
- They're so cute.
- We've come to the right place.
- So cute.
So cute.
- I mean this place is not...
a tourist destination.
There are actually people living here, right? - Yes.
This house caught fire 7 years ago.
So the only thing left was the ruins. But that guy you met earlier, the head of this village...
He started collecting garbage and used items.
And put them on the walls, like the clock that you saw.
- Ah, that clock.
- Penguin Village in Yanglim.
This village started when one guy, who is now the head of the village,
started to put random items on the walls after the house fire.
That's the history of Penguin Village.
The old walls became artworks.
And while there were only old people living here in the past,
now it's become an art village attracting over 200,000 tourists annually.
It's a central spot in Yanglim today.
- Thank you.
Ho-dong, it says "Don't try to follow trends. Live your life with what you have".
- That's nice.
This is for you, Kyung-gyu. "Don't hurry.There will be a price to pay."
- For Kyung-gyu. - Slow, slow. Don't hurry.
- Live with what you have, okay? - Okay.
- I want to give that to Kyung-gyu as a gift.
"Don't hurry. There will be a price to pay."
It makes you think.
Na-rae.
- This place is great.
- Each alleyway has its own collection of artworks.
- Oh, this is a good one.
- "As long as there are nighttime and alcohol..."
- "Man and woman cannot just be friends."
If somebody asks you whether man and woman can be friends...
you can give that as an answer, right?
- "As long as there are nighttime and alcohol, man and woman can't be friends."
But how come I have so many male friends?
- I've never seen this phrase before.
- Yeah, it's a good one.
They're on a date.
- They're a beautiful couple.
- They can't be friends.
- Yeah, because there are nighttime and alcohol.
Let's ask them if they are friends or not.
- They are not friends.
They are a couple. - Well, you never know.
- You think?
Let's ask them.
Hello, are you guys a couple?
- Yes.
- See? I told you.
- Is it because of nighttime and alcohol?
- Cute.
- So cute.
- What's her name?
Jung Ha-yoon.
- We should look them in the eye.
- This is a communication skill.
- Brrrrrr. Hello!
Maybe she's too old for that.
Handshake.
I'm shaking hands with your brother.
Ha-yoon, handshake.
- Ha-yoon, handshake.
- She's not moving.
- What is she looking at? - Ma'am, why is she not moving?
- Handshake.
Ha-yoon, handshake.
She's not even looking at you.
- Ha-yoon, he is a famous person.
A famous person is on his knees for you. - She's not looking at me.
- That's how a girl is supposed to be.
- Fortunately she's not crying.
- At least she's not crying.
- Hello.
- Hey!
- How many houses are there in this village?
- About 60.
- 60?
- A lot of people left for other places.
- Yeah?
- He says a lot of people left.
- This place is so interesting.
I'm happy that we came here.
Kyung-gyu, what is your impression...
of this village?
- They say there are about 60 families living here.
Which is not many. And there are lots of empty houses as well.
Should we try just one house then?
- I think we should go to another place where there are more people.
- Let's go to Bongsun Village.
- Right now? - If we fail at Bongsun, we can come back here.
- Come back here?
- My brother lives in Bongsun Village.
- Really? - Yes.
- Recommended by many...
What will Bongsun Village be like?
- This way.
- That's a residential area.
- There are apartments and small houses next to each other.
- There are lots of houses around here.
- Apparently this is where rich people live.
I've been told there are good schools here.
A good education system.
- There are huge residential areas
And good schools here.
- These are all houses.
- And I can see apartments over there.
- It's an interesting configuration.
There are many tile-roofed houses around here.
- Blue tiles.
Roofed with blue tiles.
- It's rare to find those kinds of houses in Seoul.
- It's an old-fashioned house, right?
They're putting tiles there.
- It's a roof.
- Yeah.
- These days, they're all made of steel, not clay.
- Guys, touch this.
- Ah, is that a tile?
- It's steel. - Yeah.
But it looks like a clay tile from a distance.
- I thought they were clay tiles.
- They're all steel.
- Clever.
- Look at that tree.
- It's a palm tree.
- It's like we're in a foreign country.
- It's hot in Gwangju.
One of my friends also brought a palm tree from Jeju Island and planted it around his house.
- It looks like it's photoshopped.
- How come it's so big?
- It's as tall as me.
- I want to try this house.
- I like this house.
- There must be a story behind it.
- It's so tall.
- Maybe the owner is from Guam?
- And one more thing. There is a clock on the wall.
- Nobody hangs a clock next to the door.
- Right next to the door.
- Maybe it's for visitors.
- Yeah.
- We've got to try this house.
We've never seen anything like this. - A house with a palm tree and a clock.
- Never seen a palm tree.
- Yeah.
The trees here are all so tall.
The tree in this house is also tall.
- There is another palm tree here.
- Wow, this is amazing.
How come there are so many palm trees around here?
- I don't understand.
- It's great.
Look at those leaves.
- Look at the color.
- Beautiful.
- It's well grown.
- It's so big.
There's dogs barking.
So many dogs.
- Dogs, show some respect to comedic grandpa.
They don't know how great comedic grandpa is.
This village has a bright atmosphere, so to speak.
Somehow.
And the streets are clean.
- And the alleyways...
- Finally, it's the evening.
I hope they'll find a nice family.
- It's 6 PM now.
I think the owner of the house with the clock will be a kind and considerate person.
- That's right.
- Very thoughtful.
You can feel it, right?
- They haven't even rung the doorbell. Now they're going to try this house.
- Na-rae, it's simple.
What matters is whether the owner recognizes you or not.
People only see you on TV, not in real life.
- If the owner can't recognize you, you can describe yourself.
For example, you have your own funny phrases that became popular.
I'm nervous.
Nervous, right?
- Do you think you're a lucky person in general?
I know a fortune teller... - Look at her clothes.
She looks like a shaman.
These are shaman clothes.
- Fingers crossed.
- God will help you.
- Nice sound.
- Clear sound.
Hmm.
- Hold on.
- The car is parked.
Let me try again.
Wait a sec.
Maybe nobody is home?
- No, no.
It takes some time to walk out of the room and to the living room.
- Yeah, that's right.
Out of the room.
Can you hear it?
You know I have a lot of experience in this kind of thing. I just know it.
- Wow.
- Where is the owner now? - Just out of the room.
Now at the front door.
- And wondering what's going on.
- I can feel it.
- Nobody is home?
- Ha.
- But the car is parked.
Can I try?
- Do-yeon.
It's the first house. We shouldn't fail.
- Hello.
- Who are you?
- Hello.
I'm a comedian and my name is Jang Do-yeon. Do you know me?
- Sorry?
- I'm a comedian.
You know that tall woman.
- Yes.
- Do you know me?
- Yes, I know you.
- Really?
Oh, how are you?
Have you had dinner yet?
- I'm not feeling well right now. Sorry.
- Ah, right.
That's fine.
Take a rest. I hope you get better soon.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Bye. - Bye.
- She recognized you.
- It's a good sign. - Yeah.
- Yeah, it's a good sign.
It's a good start.
- Good start.
- Good start, good start, Tu-tu-tu, I love you.
- Good start, good start.
- Good start again, hopefully.
- Dried radish leaves.
- I love it.
Amazing. They're all dried.
- Let's try this one. - Let's do it.
- I like the sound.
Every house has nice doorbell music in this village.
- Sometimes you can't hear the doorbell. - Yeah.
- I don't think I'm a lucky girl.
- Try again. - Yeah.
It's another song. - Yeah.
- Did it work?
Maybe we'll just have to keep listening to music.
You push the button and another music will play.
- Don't do it. - Just one more time.
- One last time.
- She never stops moving.
This is someone's house...
- I'm good at dancing, right?
Russian dance.
- Maybe nobody is home. - I got too excited.
- You can do that because you are agile.
Kyung-gyu and I can't do that.
I was surprised when you started dancing.
- Nobody is home.
Probably still at work?
- This way.
- There is a camera here.
- Camera?
- That's good for us, actually.
- Hello? - Hi.
Ma'am, I'm Jang Do-yeon, a comedian.
- Ask her if she knows you.
Do you know me?
I look like this.
I have no idea.
- Okay.
Show her who you are.
- Have you ever seen this on TV before?
I curl up like this on TV shows.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Have you had dinner yet?
- Yes.
- You have?
- Alright.
Have a good night.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
- Not easy. - She had dinner quite early.
Why so early though?
- Maybe she lied because I looked creepy? - Her husband is like, "Say you've eaten!"
- Hey, Do-yeon.
Every house has the second floor.
Let's try the first floor.
- Every house has the second floor. - Yeah.
- It rang.
- Hello?
- Hello.
- It worked.
- I'm Park Na-rae, a beautiful comedian. Do you know me?
Hello?
- Try again without "beautiful".
- I'm Park Na-rae, a comedian.
- Okay.
- Do you know who I am?
- You said you are Park Na-rae.
- Yeah, that's me but...
You know Park Na-rae the comedian?
Try the local dialect.
- You know, I grew up in Mokpo, Jeolla Province.
- Okay.
So I came to the same province as my hometown. Have you had dinner yet?
- Yeah, I've just finished eating.
- Ah. - What a shame.
- Oh my days, oh my days.
Oh my days.
That's a shame.
- Why did you have dinner so early?
- Because I was hungry after work.
- Oh.
So you had dinner as soon as you came home?
- What did you have?
- Instant noodles.
- We could have eaten that together.
What a shame.
Were you surprised when she said she is Park Na-rae, a beautiful comedian?
- I was just watching her TV show 'Video Star'.
- Oh!
Thank you for watching it.
Oh my days, I'm so happy.
Show him something.
Would you be okay? It's for adults.
- Okay.
- Well.
"Hello everyone, come and eat sausage stew..."
"Sausage stew stew" (*Sounds similar to 'tits' in Korean)
- He likes it.
- It's good that you had instant noodles.
- Good. - Let's go back to Seoul.
- Sausage stew is nice and spicy, so it's all good.
I'm embarrassed.
- Thank you.
- Alright. - Okay.
- It's for adults.
Sausage stew, get out of there.
Pollack stew, go.
- Pollack stew.
Let's bring pollack stew to a boil.
- Second floor.
- Sausage stew nearly worked.
- Hello?
- Hello, ma'am.
I'm Jang Do-yeon, a comedian.
Do you know me?
- No.
- That's okay.
- Ask her if you can go inside...
- Have you had dinner yet?
- Yes.
- She's already eaten.
Okay, ma'am.
Bye.
- She's already eaten. - It's quite early though.
- It's so early.
- Yeah.
- We're in trouble.
Maybe we should have come earlier.
- I didn't want to fail in this alleyway.
- Oh my days.
Jeolla people say "Oh my days" to express regret as well as happiness.
- Here, this house.
- Someone is in there.
- It's a beautiful garden.
- Should we try the first floor?
- Palm tree, palm tree. - Palm tree, first floor.
- Someone is coming.
- Let's make it happen.
- Hello, sir.
I'm Park Na-rae, a beautiful comedian.
- Okay. And?
This is a TV show in which
we knock on strangers' doors and
have dinner together if they want. Have you eaten yet?
- Not yet.
- Not yet?
- Hello, sir. - Ho-dong.
- Yes, it's me.
Na-rae is from Mokpo.
- I'm from Jeolla Province.
You couldn't see my face.
No, I couldn't
Nice to meet you.
- A beautiful comedian.
She's pretty, isn't she?
- Yes.
Jeolla people are all beautiful.
- That's right.
Yeah, we're all attractive.
- So if you're okay, Na-rae and I want to
go inside and have dinner with you.
Whatever food you have. We can talk about this
or that.
Oh, he knows.
- But...
- But?
- We are only two people here.
My wife and me. - That's perfect.
We can just talk about anything.
And eat whatever you can give us.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
- No.
- Oh my days.
- We become like one family...
if we eat together.
- Yeah.
- Would you be okay to be our family today?
- Will he say yes?
- We become like one family if we eat together.
- Yeah.
- Would you be okay to be our family today?
- Okay.
- Oh! We did it. - I'm jealous.
- Ask him when his wife comes back.
- When is your wife coming back?
- Soon.
We have nothing much to give you though.
Simple stuff is okay, right?
- Exactly. - Just rice and kimchi will be enough.
- Can I go inside?
- Wait. I'll go and clean the room.
- Okay.
Alright.
- Call your wife just in case.
- Okay.
- This is a 90% yes. - Awesome.
- He's open-minded. - I think you're all set.
Don't worry, Do-yeon.
- Are we going to be okay?
- We can do it too.
- Soon.
I have a good feeling.
- We talked about that tree earlier.
- Yeah. We wanted to come to this house.
I want to ask about that tree. I have so many questions.
I want to have dinner here. Out here.
Fantastic.
- Amazing. - Wow.
- We can eat here.
- These are blueberries, right? - There are lots of crocks.
Kyung-gyu, blueberries.
- Do they grow them here?
So many.
- Yeah.
- They're well grown.
- Ho-dong.
- Kyung-gyu.
- Enjoy your dinner.
- Kyung-gyu, see you next week.
Let's get going.
- We're in a hurry.
- No, we still have a plenty of time.
There's enough time.
- They made it.
Come and sit here, please.
Till your wife comes back home.
Let me call her.
- We have to get her permission. - Yeah.
- She might not like the idea of being on a TV show.
On some occasions we were asked to leave for that reason.
So we can't say for sure.
You were asked to leave?
- Yes.
So we can't be sure.
- I like it here though.
I hope we can stay here.
- There are broadcasting people here.
You know that TV show "Let's have dinner together"?
They're shooting it here.
So come back here. Be quick.
- Can you ask her if she is okay with it?
There are cameras everywhere. Be quick.
- We don't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
- We can eat what we normally eat.
Be quick. Okay?
- He hung up on her. - Sir...
I'm not sure about this.
She's a good person.
- Yeah?
- But she might feel uncomfortable in front of cameras.
- I used to work at a post office.
And I once appeared on a TV show called "People at 11 PM"
- Did you? - So you have been on TV before.
But men and women are different, you see.
So we will ask her again if she's okay with it.
- Okay.
You can ask her. - On our show, "we can talk about this...
- or that".
- How did you know that?
- Do you watch our show?
- Yes.
I like your show.
- Good news.
- But I thought it's always shot in Seoul.
How come you've come all the way down to Gwangju?
- It was a random choice.
- And my house was randomly chosen as well.
Maybe we were destined to meet today.
Yeah, maybe it's fate.
So you used to work at a post office?
- For 30 years. It's been 12 years since I retired.
How about your wife?
- She is an insurance consultant at a post office.
- Insurance consultant.
- She still works.
- Why don't you get an insurance?
Insurance?
I'll ask for her advice.
If she ever gets upset because of us, I'll say I need an insurance.
That way everything will be sorted out, I guess.
- By the way, what is that palm tree doing here?
- How come it's so tall?
- It had been here before I moved in, so I don't know who planted it.
- Oh, it had been here before you. - Okay.
- How about this? Magnolia.
- Mint.
- Smell it.
- Mint, mint.
- I love it.
- This.
- It's mint.
- How about the blueberries?
Do you grow them?
- Can I eat them?
- Try. Just pop them in your mouth.
- Really? Is it okay?
- It's a really special day today...
- Yummy.
- I didn't expect to receive such important guests as you.
- They're not ripe. So sour.
- They are supposed to be sour.
Nice blueberries.
Look, that's moss, right?
- Yeah, it is.
- Do you grow it?
- It naturally grows by itself.
What are you talking about?
- Some people even grow moss.
- It naturally grows.
- Some people grow cockroaches.
And even mosquitoes.
As pets? - Yeah.
Some people have them as pets.
I didn't know he grew moss.
Here she comes.
- Ma'am. - Hello.
- What brings you here?
- We...
- I'm Park Na-rae.
- Nice to meet you.
What are you doing here?
- They're shooting "Let's have dinner together". - Ah.
Do you watch our show?
- Yes.
- Ma'am, "we can talk about this..."
- or that.
- I thought you only visit rich people in Seoul.
- So, ma'am.
- Can we have dinner together?
Would you be okay to be...
our family tonight?
- I mean I'm okay but there's nothing much I can give you.
- Whatever is in the refrigerator.
- But...
- Just rice and kimchi will be good enough for us.
- Okay then.
But what about side dishes...
I can't believe this.
- I can help you, ma'am.
- Sorry. I'm worried.
- With her "oh my days" exclamation...
We join them for dinner here at Bongsun Village, Gwangju.
- Come on in.
I'm worried.
- We can help you.
- Ma'am, I'm good at cooking.
- Dad, mom, two sons.
- You could have contacted us in advance.
We don't contact people in advance.
- Just act naturally. Don't worry.
- Oh my.
It's done.
You don't have to hurry.
The soup.
What's this?
Loach soup.
It's all natural.
Ho-dong, it's loach soup.
- Do you like it or not? - I love it.
I love loach soup.
- That's all natural, you know.
- You mean the loach?
We can't find naturally caught loach these days.
- I'm not lying. My brother-in-law caught them.
- Did he catch them in rice paddies?
- Wow. - In ditches?
- It looks so good.
- You might be hungry. You can have this.
- I took this honey from my own apiary.
Bee keeping.
- Are you a bee farmer? - Yes.
Where is your apiary?
- I have a small farm.
- Ma'am, I can eat it later.
We can keep it for later.
- Can I try this honey?
- I harvested it myself.
- Really? - Yes.
It's 90% acacia honey.
- Look at the color. It's gorgeous.
It's so good.
Can I have some water?
Try this one.
Just water is fine.
- No, try this one. - What's that?
- Five-flavor berries.
- It is said they quickly quench your thirst.
- This is not the five-flavor berry I know.
- It's an extract.
We bought the berries and made the extract.
- You made it yourself? - Yes.
- Ma'am, cheers.
- Sir.
Thank you. - Thank you.
Natural loach soup, honey,
and hand-made five-flavor berry juice.
They're lucky.
- How long have been you married?
- 40 years.
- 40 years...
- Then you first met each other in your 20's?
- There is a big age difference between her and me.
She is 10 years younger than me.
- 10 years younger? - 10 years.
Back in the day, a 10 year difference would have been out of the norm.
Was it arranged marriage?
- Yes.
Everyone got married by arrangement back then.
- How old was she?
- When she got married? - 20.
I was 30.
- Wow, a 20-year old girl..
People call a guy like you a thief.
- I'll put out a bit of side dishes.
You know what scares me?
When Jeolla people say "a bit of something"
They say a bit, but it's actually a lot.
Looks good.
Wow.
Soybean paste looks good.
Did you make this one as well?
- She said "a bit", but she keeps putting out loads of food.
And there is ripe kimchi.
- I love ripe kimchi.
- Yeah, I've kept it to ripe.
- Wow.
- I'll give you a bit of it.
- Can I try a small piece?
- I'll give you chopsticks.
- It's so good.
- What else...
- It's okay.
- What else?
- Is that pickled fish?
Pickled fish is my favorite. - Yeah?
- Love it.
- I'll give you a little bit.
- Oh, wow.
This one is salted branchia. That one is salted hairtail guts.
Hairtail guts.
Wrap it in lettuce.
- Sounds good.
Yum.
- What else can I prepare?
- Ho-dong, my sons and grandsons are living nearby.
Is it okay if I tell them to come here?
- Sure, go ahead.
How about a surprise?
- Surprise?
- You call them and don't tell them that you're with us.
Just tell them to come here. - Okay.
- Tell them...
- Yeah.
- You have something to say. - Good idea.
- Then surprise!
- I got it. - We surprise them.
- Alright.
- They will be surprised if they see you two.
Yeah.
Can I try a small piece of kimchi?
- Okay, I'll give you chopsticks.
- You know how a TV show works.
- Hello.
- Are you home?
- Yes. I'm home.
- I have something to tell you.
Tell her that it's something good.
- Come here with your husband and son.
- Is it something urgent?
- It is not something bad. Just come.
- Okay. - Drive safely.
- Tell her that it's about something good. - I have good news for you.
- Good news? Okay.
- See you soon.
- Okay.
- They will be surprised when they arrive here.
He's good at acting.
Right?
I'm impressed.
- Hello.
- It's me.
- Oh.
- Your father-in-law.
Come here with your son.
- Why?
- Just come and you will see.
- Tell her that there's good news. - I have good news for you.
- I see.
- Come here, okay?
- Alright. - Okay, see you.
- Maybe they're confused.
This way we can invite every single person in Gwangju.
- Hello.
Phone call.
- It's good news.
Just come.
It's not about money.
I know you are confused.
- This is not as good as winning a lottery but...
- Come and you'll see. You'll be surprised.
- Winning a lottery...
- Did they ask you?
- Maybe they are thinking...
- Because he said it is good news... - Good news...
- Yeah, they might think it's about a lottery.
- Maybe they are all excited now.
Should I put the soup into bowls?
- Yes, please.
Loach soup, which will give them lots of energy...
And rice which has just cooked.
It is such a healthy meal.
- Let me take a picture first.
- I'll take one too.
I'll take a picture too.
- You too?
- This is also going to be shown on TV.
Dinner table at Bongsun Village in Gwangju.
This is a table filled with fresh and healthy food,
prepared by a married couple in Gwangju, a city famous for its food.
- Dinner cinema, stand by.
Go!
- It was hot today, wasn't it?
- Yeah, I sweated buckets.
- Right. I played pingpong today and it was so hot.
- It is so humid.
It's not too bad though. I mean I'm not annoyed.
- There's no point in being annoyed.
- Yeah.
I replaced the engine oil with a new one.
You mean transmission fluid?
Yeah, that one.
And I changed the A/C filter.
It cost me $156.
So
- That's not that much.
- The car runs smoothly now.
- Yeah.
By the way , how come this meal is so tasty?
- I can make tasty food when I'm happy.
- Cut!
- That was...
- I thought I was watching a documentary.
- It was so realistic.
- Can I join you now?
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you.
Enjoy.
There's a lot of rice.
- Is this ginseng?
- Yes. It is soaked in honey.
- I love this loach soup.
- How is it?
Good?
They can't say it is no good.
- "It's killing me"
- What was the correct expression?
- "It's deadly".
The soup is amazing. - All natural.
Natural.
- Wow.
- I'm happy that you like it.
- There is a screen in the front...
- They traveled a long distance today. The soup will give them energy.
- I'm happy that you like it.
I put Japanese apricot, garlic and sesame oil in the soybean paste.
- It's not too salty.
Recharged with the loach soup...
Ho-dong starts to gobble the food up.
Na-rae is also enjoying her lettuce wraps, as if she's in competition with Ho-dong.
- I'm happy that you like it.
- This one.
- Hairtail guts.
- It's hairtail guts.
- This should be enough, right?
- So nice.
- It's so good.
- While Ho-dong and Na-rae are getting recharged with healthy food...
"Oh my days" for Kyung-gyu and Do-yeon.
- Oh my days.
I'm anxious.
- No.
We will find one soon.
- Okay. - Here, here.
Where's the doorbell?
- Let's try.
- Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm Jang Do-yeon, a comedian.
- Hello?
Hello.
Somebody is coming.
- Who are you?
- Hello, ma'am.
I'm Jang Do-yeon, a comedian.
This is a TV show where
we look for people to have dinner with.
- Ask her if she has seen it before.
- Have you ever seen our show before?
No?
- No.
- If you haven't eaten yet...
We don't need anything special.
We can just eat whatever is available.
- Sorry?
You ate already?
Ah, she's had dinner already.
Okay.
Sad but... - Thank you.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
- Nice to meet you. - You too.
- Would you like something to eat?
- But you've already eaten. It's not allowed. - Yeah.
We can't let you prepare another meal for us.
- Oh my days.
Alright.
- Thank you though.
- Everyone is kind around here. - - Yes. She wanted to prepare another meal.
- So we still have hope.
Oh my days.
Nobody is home, I think.
Hmm.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Who is it?
- Where are you, ma'am?
She's talking but...
- Hello.
I'm Lee Kyung-gyu, a comedian.
- Oh my.
- Oh my days.
- What are you doing here?
It's a TV show where
we try to find people to have dinner with.
Do you watch this show?
- No.
- Ah.
Have you eaten yet?
- Yes.
- Oh my days. - I had dinner. Oh my days.
When did you eat?
- A few minutes ago.
- That's a shame.
- Do I have to go down there and eat something?
- No, we are supposed to eat together. - You don't have to have a second meal.
It's a shame.
- Sorry I've eaten.
- Okay. - Alright.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- You traveled a long distance.
- Yes. - That's right.
- We did travel a long distance but now we're almost dying.
- Ha.
- The locals here eat so early.
- Yeah, so early.
- Oh my days.
- It's getting late and all they can say is "oh my days" followed by a sigh.
I don't want to end up in a convenience store today.
- How about this one? - Okay.
It's know-how.
You're a genius.
Somebody's home.
The door is open.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello, I'm Lee Kyung-gyu, a comedian.
- Oh my days. - Oh my days, ma'am.
- Oh my days, oh my days. - How are you?
- What brings you here?
We came here in the morning.
We walk around this village and ring doorbells and...
- He's Kyung-gyu, right?
- Wow, what is he doing here?
What's going on?
- Well...
It's a TV show where
we ring doorbells and try to find
people to have dinner with.
It's a variety show.
- Have you...
- Have you had dinner yet? - Yes.
Why?
- As I just told you...
- If you haven't eaten yet, you can invite us...
and have dinner together.
- You had dinner early. - Well, alright.
It's a shame.
- You ate early.
When did you eat?
We ate earlier than usual.
- Ah, that's a shame.
- Yeah.
- Oh my days, oh my days.
Come on in and have some watermelon.
Watermelon?
- It's very kind of you. - We are good.
- Alright.
- Thank you.
- We're in a hurry. We have to go.
- Yeah. Try other houses.
- Bye.
- Oh my days.
It's a shame.
- You can go inside now.
- Ma'am, take care.
Bye.
Wow.
Now it's...
7 PM.
- Excuse me.
- Hello.
- Hello?
- Huh?
Hello?
Hello. - Hello?
- Hello.
- Hello. He's a very famous comedian.
- Do you know him?
Do you know me? - No.
- Famous. Very famous.
- Where are you from?
- I'm from America. - America, wow.
USA.
Have you had dinner?
Dinner?
- Dinner.
This is my friend's house.
- Oh, I see.
- Okay, thank you.
- Sorry for bothering you. Thank you. - Thank you.
- Do you know this show?
- It's called 'Let's have dinner together'. - Let's have dinner together.
JTBC.
- I don't know.
- You haven't seen it before.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
Have a good day.
- Even a foreigner.
Ha.
These days, Kyung-gyu often ends up
hurrying till the last minute.
- Excuse me.
I don't seem to have much luck this month.
We might as well go to a convenience store.
- No, we can't. - Should we just go to a convenience store?
- Even the song is sad.
- Yeah, even the song.
- I'm about to cry.
- Such a sad song. - It reminds me of what happened in the morning.
We said Gwangju is known for long arm octopus...
We should have
eaten octopus when we went to the market earlier.
- I had a bad feeling when you started dancing.
- You mean sausage stew?
My dance looks like this.
What? This is how I earn money.
Huh?
I have a good feeling.
This red house.
Oh, Kim Joon-hyun.
No, it's 'Choon', not 'Joon'.
Now I can't even read.
Do it?
- There's the first floor and the second floor.
- Hello.
Hello, I'm Jang-do-yen, a comedian. Do you recognize me?
- What brings you here?
- I'm with Kyung-gyu. We came here...
to find people to have dinner with...
and have a little chat.
- Umm, why don't you try the second floor?
It's only me right now.
- Have you had dinner yet?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Second floor.
Let's try second floor.
- Hello.
Look at the the curtain.
- Oh, hello. - Hello, ma'am.
- Hello.
- She looks like a good person.
- Hello.
We came from Seoul.
You know our show, right?
- Yes. - Eating and talking together.
- Have you... - I'm going to cook some meat for my son.
- Yeah!? - Right now?
- Can we join you? Only two of us.
- We don't have to eat much.
- And...
- Good. I was just preparing dinner.
- We just need rice and side dishes.
Are you okay with it?
Is it okay?
She's an angel!
There is an angel in Gwangju!
Gwangju. - Thank you everyone.
Thank you.
Give her a round of applause, please.
- It's this house.
- It is this house. - This is where the angel lives.
- Bongsun Village, hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray.
- I'm almost crying. - Let's get inside.
- Thank you.
- With the enthusiastic support of the locals,
They spend the rest of the evening in Bongsun Village.
- Congratulations. - She's pretty.
- They're congratulating us.
- Yeah.
- I feel like I won some kind of election. - Yeah.
- Thank you.
- I love Bungsun Village.
We're going to have dinner now.
Oh my god.
- Can I get in?
- It's not ready though.
It's absolutely fine.
Don't worry.
- It doesn't matter.
- Come on in.
- Thank you.
- Is your son home?
- He is coming.
- Wow, look at that.
That's a lot food.
- I was thinking I would eat out here.
- Where? - Outside?
- Alright.
- Let me help you.
- This place is not that big...
- It looks good. - Am I on TV now?
Am I on TV?
- Sorry?
- I said am I on TV? - Yes.
Enjoy the experience. - You mean right now?
It is live?
- No, no. It's not live.
It's being recorded. So feel free to do as you please.
- Wow.
- Enjoy your dinner!
- Okay.
- Thank you for saying that. Wow.
I feel as if he has also joined us for dinner.
- Sorry?
Ah, thank you.
How old is your son?
- My son?
- Is he a high school student?
- He is 28.
- 28?
Is he married?
- No.
- Does he have a girlfriend?
- Yes.
Well, that's okay, I'm going to enjoy the meal anyway.
- Is he your first kid or second?
- Second. - Ah-ha.
My eldest son lives in Paju.
- Paju?
So is he coming from work?
Your younger son.
- Yes.
He just got off work.
He's with his friends. So he asked me to prepare this.
- How many friends?
- About 4 or 5.
I guess.
Friends.
It's a party.
- You've come to the right place.
- I'm excited.
- Guys are coming.
- Are all his friends male friends?
- Wow, it is really a party.
Maybe we need more chairs?
- Ma'am, is it a special day today?
4 friends is a lot of people.
No, it's just a normal day.
They just want to have a barbeque together.
- Outside.
- So he told me to prepare this.
And he's going to get more meat in case this is not enough.
- I think it is a bit too early to start cooking? - Yeah.
I mean there are his friends... - Oh, this is for you two.
- No, we should eat together.
Please take a seat.
Please.
If your son comes and sees us,
He will be surprised. Maybe even shocked?
- I think he will be fine.
- So he has a job?
What does he do?
He's a security guard at university.
- He must be a big guy. - Yeah.
Are his friends all single?
- Yes. - Oh.
- What is that?
- Wow. Marinated pork.
- It's pork.
- Marinated pork.
- What is this?
That's seasoned Wilde aster.
Wild aster.
- Wild aster that she picked in a mountain.
- Did you make this?
- Yes, kimchi.
- Jeolla style ripe and sour kimchi.
- It feels so good eating outside.
- Yeah, the air is so fresh as well.
- Yeah, fresh air.
I want to take a picture.
- This is the best meal ever.
- This is a meal that mom prepared...
for her son as well as for us.
Our long-distance trip was worth it.
- Your phone is ringing.
- I think it's her son.
- I thought we were eating outside?
You know that TV show "Let's have dinner together", right? They're here.
- Where?
- They're in our house.
We're waiting for you. - Really?
- Yes.
Hang on.
Talk to Kyung-gyu.
- I think he's her husband?
Hello?
Hi. I'm Lee Kyung-gyu.
You know "Let's have dinner together", right?
- Of course I do.
- We're cooking some meat on the rooftop.
- Wow.
- So come here. Be quick.
- Okay.
- You know Jang Do-yeon, a beautiful comedian, right?
- Yes.
She's here.
- Wow. I'll be there soon.
- Okay. See you soon.
- He's excited.
- He's happy. - Yeah.
Yeah, hurry.
- Oh, it's hot.
- He's so excited.
Everyone is here.
Thank you for welcoming us.
- They're congratulating us.
- They're all kind people.
- Yeah, everyone is nice in this village.
- Let's stand and pose there so they can take pictures of us.
- Okay.
- Ma'am. Take a picture.
- Photo zone.
- Thank you.
- One more time, please.
- Ah.
Go enjoy your dinner.
Where?
Here.
Photo zone. For a reporter.
To the left.
Thank you.
- Wow. - It's good fun being outside, isn't it?
- Huh?
- I said it's good fun being outside.
- Yeah, this wouldn't have happened if we were inside.
They're here to watch us.
- What is this? - Cherry juice.
- Did you make it yourself? - Yes.
- Wow, this is amazing.
So good.
- My son will be arriving in 10 minutes. - Okay.
- Come here and take a seat.
- He says you can start eating.
It's very kind of him.
- Umm, okay, then let's have a small piece. It's already cooked.
- Okay, three of us together.
- Okay.
- When did you get married?
I mean your sons are...
- My eldest son is 31.
And my younger son is 28.
- I guess you got married at a young age.
I'm 32 myself but you look young.
I'm 52.
- 52?
I got married when I was 21 and had a baby already.
- At 21?
- Wow, very early.
- I'll get some warm rice.
It's better with warm rice.
That one is a bit cold.
- Thank you.
- Oh.
- Hi.
Here he comes.
- Wow.
Hi.
I'm Jang Do-yeon, a comedian.
Hi. - Wow.
- Hi. Wow.
- Come take a seat.
- My handsome son is here.
His friends are all handsome too, right?
- Her son and his friends have finally arrived.
- What is that? - Sorry?
- There is a lot of stuff. Can I have a look?
- Sure.
Drinks?
Oh, it's a good one. (*it's soju, Korean alcoholic drink)
- It goes well with meat.
Can you introduce yourself, each of you?
- Yes, please.
- My name is Hyun-woo. I first met Hyun-seok in a soccer club.
I'm the same age as him.
- Hyun-woo.
My name is Ho-joon. I'm a chef and the same age as him.
And I also met Hyun-seok in the same soccer club.
- I thought you said 'Ho-dong'.
Ho-joon.
- So you're a chef?
- Yes.
- Japanese or Chinese or Korean?
- Korean.
Ah, you're preparing for it. - He's talented.
- My name is Seung-hun. I went to the same elementary school as Hyun-seok.
- You went to the same school.
And this is a beautiful comedian.
- She's so pretty.
- 32 years old.
I live alone. Just so you know.
I can give you the password to my house.
- Okay, let's begin.
Hey, pour some soju for him.
- Oh.
- It's my honor. - Thank you.
To her health and the family's happiness and your friendship.
Say cheers on the count of 3.
On the count of 3.
1, 2, 3.
- Cheers.
Kyung-gyu looks happy...
enjoying this unexpected party with soju and meat.
- Everyone was down.
- Yeah.
- After talking all day long...
Do-yeon seems relaxed enjoying her food.
This is seasoned.
She's a good cook.
- She is just happy looking at her son eating.
And her son and his friends enjoy their special dinner.
- Good.
It's good.
- With some people watching them eat...
It's a party full of laughter and togetherness.
- I'm nervous.
- You're nervous?
- I can't even speak.
It's like I'm paralyzed.
Usually I'm not like this.
- What state are you in right now? - I feel stiff.
- Just move.
You're behaving differently now because of the cameras, right?
Just think that we're not here.
- Don't be too conscious of the cameras.
- At first, she was... - Look at me. I look comfortable.
She was also conscious of the cameras but now she is totally herself.
- I feel even more comfortable with my son.
- She's feeling comfortable because of her son's presence.
- She's relaxed now.
- Does your mom cook meat for you often?
- Yes. She often cooks for me.
- Really? That is an easy thing to do.
- Normally moms don't like it when their sons have a drinking party and stuff...
But she's different. She makes snacks for us. - Right.
- They are all like my sons. I feel happy cooking for them.
So your whole family often eat together, yeah?
- Yes. We often have dinner together with soju.
I think you're good at drinking.
I noticed she has some skill.
Like this.
My favorite drink is rice wine.
But my husband prefers soju.
So we each drink our favorite drinks.
- I just love this place.
- It wouldn't be easy to do something like this in an apartment.
- We were going to eat out here. - Yeah.
- It has a different atmosphere at night. - Yeah.
- After sunset.
We saw this great quote
in Penguin Village in the afternoon.
You know what it is?
The one in Penguin Village? - Have you seen it?
- Can you guess what it is?
- Alcohol and woman...
- "Man and woman cannot be friends
as long as there are alcohol and nighttime."
Oh, it's night and there is alcohol here.
What are you going to do?
Are we friends or what?
We are not friends, are we?
What are you going to do?
- A lonely girl Do-yeon and the guys...
share soju and spend the night together without anything happening between them.
Grandpa.
Come here.
Where's your mom?
- Come.
- That was quick.
- Say hello to them.
- Introduce yourself to viewers.
- Hello.
- Introduce yourself.
Say your name and age.
Go.
- Hello.
My name is Kyung-dae. I'm a second grader. I go to Gwangju Hakwoon elementary school.
Kyung-dae.
So cute.
- Well done.
Sit here.
- Sit.
- Where's your mom?
Have you seen them on TV?
- What do you think is my name?
- Hello.
- Hello, come on in.
- What brings you here?
- Yeah.
Wow. That's a lot of people.
- Hello.
You're the eldest son, right? - Yes.
I was surprised when he said there's good news.
You don't think it's good news?
- Oh, no, I mean...
- It IS good news, right?
- Here comes your wife.
- Come on in.
- Hello. - Hello.
I heard your voice over the phone.
- You did?
- You look surprised.
- Yes.
You're so beautiful.
- Self-introduction...
It's a good day today, isn't it?
- It is, indeed.
It's a good day.
We thought he won a lottery or something.
- Ah.
Okay, let's have a talk.
- Come on in. - Welcome.
- She's surprised.
- Take off the mask.
She's got a cold.
- Come here.
- There's a princess.
That young girl is a cousin.
Ah-ha.
- And she's the second daughter-in-law.
- Come here.
I heard your youngest son can't come because he is busy.
- His name is Dae-hyun. - Hello.
Hello.
Dae-hyun, say hello.
Hey, kiddos. Say hello.
Hello.
Great.
- Please take a seat.
- You were surprised, weren't you?
- What did you think it was all about?
Good news or...
- I thought it was about a winning lottery.
- Oh.
- This is better than winning a lottery.
I was like, "Honey, I think he won a lottery. I'll be back soon."
- Oh.
- So this is "Let's have dinner together"?
- Yes.
- My husband and I watch your show often.
We even say things like,
"What if they come to our house?"
And my husband is like, "if Ho-dong or Kyung-gyu comes to our store..."
"Tell them to go to our house no matter what."
- You mean he would have been happy to invite us to dinner, right?
- Thank you.
Does your family gather like this often?
- Yes.
- How many times a week?
- About once a week.
And we have dinner together.
Since this is a single family house, kids can run around without any problem.
You can't do that in an apartment.
- No.
- Yeah.
And there is a table outside...
This IS a lottery that he won.
The place where the whole family gathers and shares love and happiness.
You've been together for 40 years.
Why don't you say something to your wife?
- When we first met, we struggled a lot financially.
But we went through tough times together and
We survived. And it's my honor...
to be on your show today.
Thank you.
- Great.
- Okay, now it's...
your turn.
- He's been working hard...
since we met and got married.
I made a lot of efforts and I'm proud of him for that.
And I hope he stays healthy.
- A praise and a wish in one go.
I have an idea.
How about daughters-in-law praise their parents-in-law?
- Both of them are here.
- We will give you enough time to think.
Think about what to say.
Okay, let's start with the first daughter-in-law.
- He's always up for new challenges.
And I want to be like him.
He recently started to learn English.
He's an intermediate level now.
So I think that's great.
- Wow. That's nice.
She said he's up for new challenges.
- Thank you for saying that.
- It's not over yet.
We've got the second daughter-in-law.
Go.
- She is just like my real mother.
My mom passed away.
So yeah, she's like my mom.
That's the only thing I can say.
Even my husband says that she's like my mom.
- Thank you.
- She's always supportive like my mom.
And I appreciate that. Thank you.
- Such a heartwarming moment.
She's crying.
You're crying, right? - She cries a lot.
Really?
- At my wedding, neither I nor my mom cried.
But she wept buckets.
- Now she's crying because she's happy, right?
Thank you.
Sir, you wipe your wife's tears.
- It's okay, I'm not really crying.
- Come on. Express your feelings for her.
Ma'am, stay still.
Say I love you.
- I love you.
- Your son is quite handsome. How about your husband?
People say he's handsome.
But I don't know. - Oh, he must be really handsome.
I mean I'm so used to seeing his face, so I don't know.
But people say he's handsome.
But I don't know.
- He's coming late tonight? - Yes.
Yes. It seems he has something to do.
It's a shame though. He would be happy if he were here.
How long did you date before getting married?
- We didn't have time for that.
- So you got married as soon as you met? - About 3 months.
- What? You dated for 3 months?
- I mean I had no idea.
I didn't know what to do around guys.
- It was common back in the day.
- So I met him and got two kids.
- Um, you know...
When I ask married people how they got married,
They say there is a specific moment when you realize this or that person is for you.
- I was so young. I couldn't think of anything like that.
I just liked him.
So I got married.
I liked him for no reason.
- By the way, I'm 32 now.
And I often think about getting married.
Do you think I should hurry?
- No, you're still young.
- Yeah? - But you got married when you were 22.
- Well, that's because I knew nothing about life.
Now I know many things.
- I mean I also know... - You don't have to get married now.
Meet guys and go on a date with them.
You'll regret if you get married at a young age like me.
- Then how much do I have left?
- You're still okay, probably another 2 or 3 years.
- Till 34?
- Go on a date.
- Okay, I'll take your advice.
- Don't get married at a young age. Especially it's not good for women.
Married life isn't that good.
- What?
- I think you're drunk?
- You have to do things that you don't like doing...
- You'll get married one day anyway. So don't hurry.
- A cup of rice wine has made her speak the truth. She's spewing anger.
- Sorry for asking that question.
- So you don't mind if your son gets married late?
- No. I never tell him to hurry.
I just tell him he should get married when he wants to.
Men should first secure a steady source of income...
before getting married.
That's my wish.
- Do you agree?
- Yes. - Witch what she says?
- This is great. Preparing for this meal together and hearing her words of wisdom.
- You're a good mentor. - Yeah.
Where else could I hear that?
- What's your wish this year?
- I wish my mom drank less.
- What? I don't drink that much.
- Ma'am, come here.
Come take a seat.
- She has some health issue.
- Please come take a seat. - She doesn't have enough blood.
- Sorry?
- I don't have enough blood in my body.
Ah, that's why your son is worried. - It's kind of inherited.
I suffer from anemia.
- So she's got to be careful not to bump into things.
She gets bruises easily.
- He's really concerned about you.
While talking about you...
Yeah, he...
His eyes welled up with tears.
- I didn't know he was that concerned.
- I shouldn't drink myself, you know.
- This is a contradiction.
- He's concerned.
- I understand.
In the room, I saw a lot of blood donor cards.
- He often gives blood to those in need.
People that he knows.
He even won medals.
You get those medals if you donate blood many times.
- What's your blood type?
- Type A.
- Me too. - Me too.
- Promise me you will give me blood when I need it.
- What? Promise? - It's a promise.
- He's such a good son. - Yeah.
- Since my mom suffers from the lack of blood..
- Because of her?
- I want to help people who have the same issue.
So as long as I'm healthy, I want to help.
- Were you aware of this?
- Yes.
- How about you? You can give a lot of blood. You're a big guy.
- Sometimes we do it too.
Even his girlfriend does it.
He encourages her.
- Good people meet each other.
- Ma'am, what's your wish this year?
I hope that he secures a steady source of income...
Because he has a girlfriend now...
And when he's financially stable, I hope he gets married.
- After this episode airs, you can't do bad things any more.
He has to remain a good person.
- Yeah.
- Let's call Ho-dong.
- Hello.
- Wow. A big family.
- What's going on?
What's happening?
- What is this? A national holiday gathering?
- Hello.
- So many people.
- Waves.
- Wow, it's a family party. - Ho-dong, look.
- Is it Ho-dong?
- Ah, that's a lot of people. Just like us.
- We even have alcohol. - Ho-dong.
- Na-rae, alcohol, nighttime and men.
- Oh no.
- Na-rae, say hello. - Wow.
- Hello.
Wow.
- I want to see her face. - She looks better in person.
- Really beautiful.
- Comedian special episode. Success!
- Success!
- I'm relieved.
- You don't have to do this.
- No, let us do it.
- If they had another son, I could have been their daughter-in-law.
But they have only two sons.
- You don't have to do this.
- No. Let me do this.
Let's take a picture.
- Oh my days Gwangju!
- Thank you.
- In Gwangju, where there are good food and kind people,
We met the 57th and 58th families that had dinner with us.
- Thank you for great memories.
Let's have dinner together, fighting!
- Thank you for coming to Gwangju and spending time together.
- Let's have dinner together, fighting!
- How can I be interested in it if I know nothing about it?
Why won't they tell us?
What's this?
Jeju Island?
I don't understand this Jeju dialect.
- This is a terminal. - Yeah.
Cheongryangri Station.
We have no tickets available.
You might as well take a taxi.
hey, Su-ho.
- Yes?
- Do we have to take a taxi?
Chan-yeol.
- What the...
EXO on Jeju Island.
- An idol group.
- They're amazing.
Do you know EXO?
No?
You know who we are, right?
No?
- Oh, we're screwed.
- Do you have our spoons?
- Yes.
Please give them to us.
- Sing for us.
- Spoons...
EXO, sing!
I'm growling, growling, growling.
- No, Ho-dong. You sing.
- Give us spoons!
- We can't.
- Please.
- If I get in there, give us spoons, okay?
- Are you serious?
2.
- Do you know who I am?
I'm a singer.
- Like a family... I want to share a meal.
It's "Let's have a dinner together"
- I'm a singer.
Do you know who I am?
I wouldn't open the door.
-he talks, at least.
- Failed.
I think my fingers are cursed.
- Come on. Do something.
- You said you have a supernatural power.
- Stay healthy and take care.
- Thank you.
Thank you. - Thank you.
I feel like crying.
- It's sad for reason.
It feel weird.
You know that feeling you get...
when you are on your way home after meeting your relatives on a national holiday.
- How are you feeling?
- I feel like my heart is filled with warmth.
I'm moved.
Would you like to have dinner together, where you can taste the warmth and kindness of others?
