(Choi Min Soo is back as a Middle Eastern nobleman.)
(I'm here just to promote my new drama.)
(The hosts think it's a good chance to provoke him.)
- Gu Ra. - Yes?
(I remember that you were boring.)
(You don't seem confident anymore.)
(Choi Min Soo is an easy target.)
(He bursts with anger.)
(Have you seen anyone as cute as me?)
(Hwang Seung Eon makes men's hearts flutter.)
(I was slapped,)
(but I shouldn't look daunted.)
(Lee So Youn's evil character scares the viewers.)
(The hosts shiver with fear.)

"Radio Star, Are You Nervous?"
("Radio Star, Are You Nervous?" begins now.)
Every Wednesday, we make our guests nervous with our feisty comments...
and make the viewers laugh with our funny comments.
This is a high-end talk show with charismatic hosts,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Our today's special MC is Lee Hong Gi of FTISLAND.
- Hong Gi, congratulations. - Thank you.
Will Son Yeon Jae marry your group member?
(That's what the nosy Gu Ra would ask.)
- Choi Jong Hoon is dating her. - Right.
- One of your group members might... - It's good news.
- marry a popular sports star. - Will he marry her?
- He gets more attention than me. - Exactly.
- I'm losing ground. - I see.
- Did you see the other special MCs? - Yes, I did.
Do you think you can do better than any one of them?
I think I'll be the best among all the special MCs.
(He's fully confident.)
Today, we're going to meet...
the four charismatic stars who make all Korean people nervous.
Today's theme is "Radio Star, Are You Nervous?"
Our first guest is...
nothing without his charisma.
I thought I could have you if I do this.
You belong to me!
When he's with his wife, he acts cutely.
He's tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
He's an indisputably charismatic man.
Jong Shin, Gu Ra, and Hong Gi,
am I nervous right now?
Choi Min Soo who was born with charisma.
- He hasn't been here for 4 years. - It's been 4 years.
Do you think we'll be done late?
- Maybe. - I think so.
Her intense eyes scare the viewers.
She's like a femme fatale to the viewers.
She's confident in acting,
but she's nervous about her 1st talk show in 15 years since her debut.
She calls herself boring.
The staff of Radio Star, are you nervous?
- The charismatic Lee So Youn. - Welcome, So Youn.
This is her first talk show appearance?
- I think I saw her on many shows. - She appeared on variety shows.
She's saying it's her first time. Why would you say that?
- I think it's not her first time. - She's saying it is.
He thinks he saw her on a talk show.
He made his debut through KBS drama "Descendants of the Sun".
A year passed, and he's trying to make MBC's drama a hit too.
He's so handsome.
Min Soo, you shouldn't talk to us yet.
(Calm down, Min Soo.)
(He's impatient.)
Wednesday and Thursday nights once again
- That's his father's song. - Right.
He's determined to win women's hearts.
Female viewers, are you nervous?
- The ambitious Cho Tae Kwan. - Cho Tae Kwan.
She drops a bomb on every talk show she appears on...
and makes her agency nervous.
However, she's a rising star who makes men's hearts flutter...
with her perfect body and sweet smile.
Every man across the country, are you nervous?
The sexy Hwang Seung Eon.
- Welcome. - As he's a radio show host,
- he's good at this. - He did a good job.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Your new hairstyle suits you well.
(Min Soo greets Hong Gi affectionately.)
- Hello. Please have sit down. - You worked with him before, right?
- We appeared on the same show. - "A Look at Myself".
(Min Soo pretends to punch him.)
He came on the show in a white suit after a long time.
He's full of charisma.
- Min Soo, please say hello. - Okay.
It's been... Which camera should I look at? It's been four years.
Hello.
(Smiling)
How long has it been since you last played in MBC's drama?
Since "Han River Ballad"...
I don't know. I've never been that logical in my life.
- It was a question about a fact. - I think...
- You don't need to be logical. - I think...
- There were no water bottles then. - It changed.
Is it product placement?
- You're very logical. - You put them under the table then.
- You shouldn't put it down. - It's been four years.
- Are you running out of budget? - Please put it right here.
(He's straightforward.)
We wouldn't refuse to get extra money.
Min Soo hasn't changed at all.
(Smiling)
Anyway, I think the last MBC drama I played in was...
"Pride and Prejudice".
- I played as a prosecutor. - I remember that.
- That was my latest drama. - "Pride and Prejudice".
- I really enjoyed the drama. - Me too.
- "Pride and Prejudice". - Let's move on.
- That was smooth. Tae Kwan, - "Pride and Prejudice".
- please say hello to the viewers. - Hello, everyone. I'm Cho Tae Kwan.
He looks more handsome than his dad.
- He's handsome. - Thank you.
- His dad is handsome too. - Yes, he is.
So Youn, please say hello to the viewers.
- Hello, everyone. I'm Lee So Youn. - Welcome, So Youn.
Is this your first drama since you got married?
No, it's my second drama.
- Are you married? - Yes, I am.
- You're married? - She's been married for two years.
She's married.
You should know that as you're working with her.
Why should I?
It would be nice if you do.
- Congratulate her. - Why would it be nice?
- You're married? - I've been married for two years.
Congratulations on your first marriage.
- 1st marriage? - 1st marriage?
- Seung Eon, please say hello. - Okay.
Hello, I'm Hwang Seung Eon.
- Hwang Seung Eon. - Aren't you good friends with him?
- Me? - Yes.
- I've never met him before. - I've never met her before.
I thought you probably know her.
It's not like...
I know every woman in the country.
(It's not like I know every woman in the country.)
You came on the show to buy soundproof equipment four years ago.
- Right. - He did. You remember that, right?
- For new soundproof equipment. - That's right.
You came here to make money to renovate your rehearsal studio.
(What's your special reason to come on the show?)
(I have my hobby place in Hongdae.)
(I got a lot of complaints.)
(So I need to make it soundproof.)
(Are you here to get money for that cost?)
(Laughing)
It was for his band rehearsal studio.
Is your band name Pinocchio?
Oh, it's not. Their song title is "Pinocchio".
- Gu Ra. - Okay.
Was it 36.5ºC? Right, that was his band name.
What is your purpose of today's appearance?
Today, I'm here...
just to promote my new drama.
When I'm filming a drama,
I need to immerse myself in my role.
So I don't usually appear on other TV shows.
- I see. - It's because...
promoting my drama on variety shows...
when I'm immersed in my character...
doesn't suit me.
How about you talk less than usual today?
- Is that possible? - Or...
Just leave me be.
I haven't been here...
for four years.
You should treat me with courtesy and respect.
- How could you tell me to be quiet? - That's not what I meant.
Why don't you just stop lying?
(Gu Ra is knocked down.)
Can you make his jaw smaller?
By punching him.
That's the joke...
you made many times, so it's not funny anymore.
(Gook Jin is knocked down.)
(The hosts are daunted by Min Soo.)
- I'm here to promote my drama. - Okay. Please go on.
In fact,
I met Tae Kwan often at the filming set.
However, as for the two of them,
- I haven't met them at the set. - I see.
I've never worked with them.
So I'm very curious about their personalities.
This is a good chance to get to know the other cast members of the drama.
Please tell us about your role.
What's my role?
- Shall I tell them? - Yes.
He went missing in Korea a long time ago.
People assume that he's dead, but it turns out...
that he became a rich nobleman like Mansour.
- He comes back... - He's a Middle Eastern rich man.
He received a noble title.
He comes back to Korea.
The drama is about what happens after that.
Does he speak Arabic too?
From time to time.
Can you show us?
- Something like this. - Didn't you make that up?
How did you know?
- I was right. - Exactly.
- It sounded like Arabic. - That wasn't Arabic.
He sounded like his character in "Sandglass".
"I thought I could do it." Like this.
(I thought it would be funny.)
Who plays the role that becomes romantic with Min Soo's?
Tae Kwan does.
That's right.
- I see. - In the end...
Is it a queer drama?
Is he really promoting his drama?
It's a trend these days.
It's a trend. Awesome.
(Check it out when the drama airs.)
Min Soo once said...
that Radio Star makes a flower bloom in a sewer.
- Did I? - Yes, you did.
He wouldn't remember that.
Which one of the guests do you want to help stand out?
- Among them. - The three of your junior actors.
- All I care about is myself. - Right.
- You want yourself to stand out? - I really don't care...
about things like that.
If things go well for me, I'd be happy.
Min Soo adores Tae Kwan very much.
- He helps Tae Kwan a lot. - He likes Tae Kwan very much.
Tae Kwan is so grateful for your affection.
How much does he like you?
I'll tell you how it started.
Creating a character is fun...
but difficult.
I waited for him at a store near his hobby place.
- To meet him? - Yes.
I asked him to teach me.
It sounds funny though.
We had a conversation for half a day.
He helped me a lot create my character.
I heard this from some of Min Soo's junior actors...
who appeared on my shows.
They know that he's affectionate for them,
but he's too talkative.
(Min Soo stares at him.)
They had a hard time because of that.
Isn't it hard for you, Tae Kwan?
Why can't you look at Min Soo in the eyes?
I'm just playing my role!
I should do my part to get paid.
- They have to listen to him... - He was staring blankly.
He was looking up there.
He was looking at the door.
Jung Yong Hwa once...
came to say hello to Min Soo.
- He talked to him for two hours. - In Min Soo's waiting room.
Gu Ra didn't tell a lie.
I'm just worried about your junior actors.
When I'm curious about someone,
I keep asking questions until I get to know that person.
I heard this story...
on a TV show I appeared on.
Kim Yong Man, Yoon Jung Soo, and Solbi were together in a car.
They saw Min Soo passing by on his motorcycle.
They didn't want him to see them,
so they hid themselves like this.
"It's Min Soo. Let's hide."
Because I would've talked to them for three hours if I had seen them?
(He criticizes himself.)
(I won't talk that long.)
Actually, I heard something.
I heard that Min Soo takes...
- That's right. - care of his junior colleagues.
I have a question.
Am I one of the junior colleagues you like?
- I... - How do you know him?
We starred on the same show.
- At that time... - It was "A Look at Myself".
(Min Soo acted as Hong Gi's agent on the show.)
(He personally drove and put on the microphone for Hong Gi.)
- I used to be your agent. - You were both on the show.
That's right.
You stole the celebrity's spotlight when you did some unexpected things.
Okay.
Should I be blunt with you? Are you happy now?
- No, please don't, Min Soo. - Should I ask you that?
- Today... - I have my role here.
Okay.
Do I talk about this when we meet privately?
(He feels bad.)
I'm playing my role on the drama.
He's right. This is how his character behaves.
He got a scary role.
- My role is scary. - I agree.
For 35 years, my character endured...
his life as he faced the wind of the sand in the United Arab Emirates.
Anyhow, I have a history with Hong Gi.
The memory still stays with me.
- Do you mean that? - Of course.
- You're his agent forever. - That's right.
So this is how Min Soo is like.
I heard that Tae Kwan said he was going to be his secretary,
but when Min Soo isn't with him,
he said that Min Soo is your prey.
- I guess he said that. - Think before you speak.
Choose your words wisely.
- "Min Soo is my prey!" - You should tread lightly.
- He's my prey. - He's easy.
- No, that's not what I meant. - Min Soo is an easy prey.
- In Arabic, - He's an easy score.
"big boss" is pronounced like "rice" in English.
- Rice? - Rice.
- Rice. - I see.
- Really? - It was hard for me to memorize.
- So he was became your prey. - It was hard.
So I just memorized that Min Soo is rice.
I see.
- He's my rice. - I was about to take him down.
(He's safe.)
So Youn, you starred on "Six Heroines" and "We Got Married",
but this is your first time after 15 years being on a talk show?
Yes, I think this is my first time on a talk show.
- Did you avoid talk shows? - Why is that?
I think I did avoid a bit...
because I'm not funny when I talk.
Didn't you star on my talk show? Didn't we work together once?
- She said she didn't! - No, she was on a talk show once.
She said she didn't star on any talk show. Why are you questioning her?
You didn't star on "Yashimmanman"?
No. I was never on "Strong Heart" or "Happy Together".
Since I'm not a good talker, I was never on those shows.
In my opinion, if you are not a good talker,
you would sound illogical, but you aren't like that though.
I tend to take things seriously.
People tell me that I get serious.
A lot of people told me that I wasn't fun.
I asked because I remembered you being boring.
(She's not funny.)
So Youn, your eyes alone could make the audience happy and sad.
You are a charismatic actress.
For this drama, you cut your hair short for the first time.
I see.
I heard you got insomnia because of the haircut.
The director told me that for my role in the drama,
it'd be better if I cut my hair short.
At that moment, I thought that...
my role would benefit more with the short haircut.
In a heartbeat, I agreed to cut my hair short.
After that, I started to get nervous.
It was a big decision.
I was trying to grow my hair long.
Was it because your husband preferred long hair?
Yes, my husband likes women with long hair.
Seriously?
It's been two years. Should she still try to impress him?
- He likes long hair. - Yes.
- I want to look feminine for him. - I see.
When I got paid, I cut my hair.
(He cut his hair right away.)
You were growing your hair out.
Right.
How many years has it been since your last haircut?
- It's been six years. - That's quite a while.
(My hair was long.)
I heard your wife was thrilled.
(But I cut it for the drama and my wife is happy because I got paid.)
- I liked him with the long hair. - Did your wife like the haircut?
It's because I got paid.
(Giggling)
- He's cute and scary. - By the way...
(He has a lot of charms.)
Seung Eon, you drew attention for being honest on the shows.
I think I am not a good match for talk shows either.
I'm not good at embellishing stories.
I'm not funny either. My story might be long, but...
What are we going to do today?
(This is a talk show.)
(We have two guests with negative feelings about variety shows.)
I don't know what to say and what not to say.
- Just be honest and talk freely. - You should be funny then.
You have to be blunt on our show.
A show invited me to star and I went.
On the show, I said some things that female celebrities don't talk about.
- What did you talk about? - What was it? Tell us.
- I mean... - We like those conversations.
At that time, I said that I was seeing someone.
I said that since they asked.
For me, saying that I wasn't seeing anyone would...
- be insulting to him. - That's not right.
He wasn't my boyfriend.
- We were just... - Those two aren't the same?
- She had a fling. - What could it be?
- It was a fling. - She had a fling.
I think that was why.
That means you are honest.
- But it ended? - That's why...
this is what people thought.
They assumed I said he was a fling because he was my boyfriend.
- Don't drag it out. They'll search. - Really?
The moment you started talking, people will try to find out...
- who you were talking about. - I think...
- It's okay. He's not a colleague. - But it's over now.
I'm not saying this as a joke.
That's her role in the drama.
That's right.
She's like the private eye.
- You are promoting your show a lot. - As I should.
I ought to.
(I must do my best since I was paid.)
(Honey, aren't I good?)
So Youn, you get nervous on talk shows.
You said after getting advice from your acquaintances,
out of the hosts on the show,
the only host you can trust is Jong Shin.
I said right off the bat that she wasn't funny.
- I didn't know you'd be like that. - Why me though?
I saw her from somewhere.
I remember that she was really pretty.
You really met her though?
- Yes, it was certainly a talk show. - Did you really meet her?
I hosted a lot of talk shows like "Hwashin".
Why do you impose that on her? She said she didn't star on any.
- It was a mirage. - Was it Kim So Yeon?
- Perhaps, you saw her on TV. - I remember her though.
Why did you say that...
- he's the only one you can trust. - What did your friends say?
You have great friends.
That was the consensus, but when I saw you...
on the shows,
you took care of people who felt a bit shy or couldn't talk well.
In my opinion, not only is she clueless about variety shows,
but about entertainment business in general.
- You're spot on. - She knows nothing.
I will take care of you today.
- I will help you out today. - Her perspective in general...
- is completely wrong. - I'll be her helper.
- Good for you, So Youn. - I got your back today.
- Only for today. - I'm close to Oh Yoon Ah.
When she starred on this show,
Gu Ra scolded her because she wasn't funny.
But I helped her out.
(She was saying that her friends told her that she talked too much.)
You sure talk a lot, but it's not funny though.
(Jong Shin kept helping her.)
If she were funny whenever she talked... Goodness!
(She went home after getting scolded a lot by Gu Ra.)
I braced myself...
- when I came here. - On that day, Yoon Ah...
shook my hand and thanked me.
- She did? - Yes.
Is it true?
I think she told me that telepathically.
(Can she read mind or what?)
(Brazen)
That was a lie.
(Laughing)
Tae Kwan... Him too?
He picked Jong Shin as one of the hosts he would rely on...
during the shoot.
You are getting quite popular these days.
After getting their approvals, you are getting famous now.
- They rely on me because you... - Why did you choose him?
have a problem, Gu Ra.
Did Jong Shin pay a handsome amount of money for the wedding cash gift?
- The wedding gift? - He only sent me the money.
I see.
I didn't go to your wedding?
He said you didn't come. Why do you pestering him?
- He said you didn't come. - I drank with him and his wife...
the day before the wedding.
(Am I mistaken?)
Tae Kwan, on "Descendants of the Sun", you became famous...
- for playing the medic. - He did.
I was informed you graduated from a prestigious college from Canada.
It's a college anyone can go as long as the applicant studies hard...
in their last year.
I went to Toronto University.
- Then... - You went to Toronto University.
Yes, I was quite delinquent in my first year of high school,
- but I worked hard the next year. - You worked hard in your last year.
As a lot of people already know,
a lot of your family members are celebrities.
- Your father is Cho Ha Moon. - His father is Cho Ha Moon.
(His most famous song is "Tonight Once Again".)
- Choi Soo Jong... - How are you related to him?
- He's your uncle? - Yes.
- I see. - That's right.
Then Ha Hee Ra is...
Don't you have quite a long history with Soo Jong?
- I do? How? - Yes.
You are colleagues.
- I don't think so. - They're of the same age.
You're referring to the article that he beat me up?
I wasn't going to bring that up. Why did you mention that?
- Why did you mention it? - That's what you meant though.
- You were referring to that. - I wasn't. I didn't mean that.
- It's because... - Don't try to be a mind reader.
Except that, he and I have never crossed path.
- He's right. - From what I have heard,
Soo Jong is really strong.
- What do you mean? - I heard he can fight.
Min Soo said that on the show.
- I'm not a kid. If that bothered... - That's right.
me or I had something to say, I would have done it ages ago.
I didn't say that. You said it, Min Soo.
(Did I bring that up?)
For Tae Kwan, this is his first time starring on Radio Star.
He was confident that he could make more interesting than Oh Sang Jin...
who is the official crybaby.
Did Sang Jin do something else than cry?
People talked about it because he cried out of nowhere.
- I mean... - I didn't like that.
(This is his last clip.)
Will we able to see you cry today?
If you make me sad, sure.
It's not funny when you predict in advance.
(Oh, no. My shot at getting more airtime is gone.)
Seung Eon, you garnered attention as a rising star...
through "The King" and "The King of Jokgu".
What was your role in "The King"?
You might not remember me since a lot of my parts were edited out.
- Jo In Sung... - I was the yellow-haired girl.
You played the love interest of In Sung.
That's right. I was sort of his mistress.
- I see. - You were?
- You were his mistress. - That's right.
It sounded like you just recognized an important figure.
You pointed your finger.
(He made a fuss.)
- You were like this. - Thank you.
(They make a fuss together.)
- I remember! - That part!
(She's happy.)
You were scared because this show is like a troublemaker.
Do you think you have a lot of weaknesses for us to target?
Since I talk out everything,
I'm scared that I might be too honest.
It sounds like she's asking for us to have a go at her.
- No. - Other than being on the shows,
were there times when you were in a bind because you were too honest?
There were times when I hurt my friends' feelings.
- I see. - Are you similar to Gu Ra?
Yes. When I genuinely like someone,
instead of worrying for her or him, I feel like...
- I should solve the problem. - Are you up front with them?
So I tend to be very objective.
I tell my friends to stop and what they're doing is strange.
Do you not have friends?
(She's a loner.)
I'm still new to this kind of social life.
A lot of friends left me.
(This is the fate of a lonely man who make spiteful remarks.)
By the way, is Seung Eon your real name?
Yes, it is.
It took you nine years to become famous.
I made my debut when I was 21 years old.
At the start of my career, I got lucky and joined many projects.
- After that, I tried... - You were busy helping your friend.
- Min Soo is paying you attention. - I see.
- Thank you. - Now she's covered.
You said because of those nine years,
your heart skips when someone calls your name on the shows.
I'm easily touched.
I was so touched that Min Soo and other people knew my name.
- It took years to be recognized. - That's right.
- You are the yellow-haired girl. - I remember you!
(We should exaggerate when we recognize her.)
- Just like this. - Usually...
I saw Jae Seok again after two years.
But he called my name and asked how I had been.
Jae Seok memorizes all the names of the guests for that day.
The night before, he memorized your name.
The thing is that he remembered what I did on the show two years ago.
He encouraged me to do the same thing again.
- I was moved. - He really remembered her.
I met him once too.
But he kept calling me Tae Jin from start to finish.
You can look it up too. I missed the timing to correct him.
He called you Tae Jin?
He's implying that Jae Seok isn't great.
It's not easy to criticize Jae Seok.
(Please remember his name, Cho Tae Kwan.)
Seung Eon, you said that the reason...
why you were cast for the role on "Man Who Dies to Live"...
was because of your dance skills.
- Well... - You are a good dancer.
During the audition, the director asked if I could dance.
I told him that I didn't think I was a bad dancer.
After that, he told me about the character.
He explained what the role was and told me to think about it.
Seung Eon isn't the only good dancer here.
So Youn has unexpected dance moves which she did...
- at a club in Japan with Yoon Ah. - Really?
Please don't make me dance.
You can do it only at a club in Japan, not here?
You have to dance for us.
- I'm curious about her dance moves. - I think she is...
I rarely dance, but when I danced at the club,
I danced because I thought there weren't any Korean.
I danced thinking that this would be a good chance for me to dance.
Out of nowhere, someone approached me...
and said, "Why do you dance like that?"
- That person laughed at me. - He or she was Korean?
- I want to see that dance now. - We ought to see it.
- Here we go. - Don't be nervous.
- I have to dance right away? - Show us your dance.
- I can't wait to find out. - Are you putting on your shoes?
- Yes. - You're going all out.
I've never danced in heels.
You're wearing sneakers. Gosh, look at the color of the sneakers.
- It's unique. - It is...
- the same color with my blouse. - Did you match them on purpose?
- Gosh, it's embarrassing. - Both of them are pink.
- Should I dance here? - She...
- came here determined. - She has a goal to achieve.
- I heard you'll make me dance. - Dance in the front.
- I will move to the center. - You'll move when you dance?
- She prepared a lot. - She did.
Imagine if we didn't ask her to dance.
So Youn, did you bring another pair of shoes too?
- No. - I think she did.
I heard you brought a wrist band.
Are you all set now?
You also brought a helmet too, right?
- A helmet. - What is it called?
Play the music, please.
- Seung Eon. - Great.
This is Seung Eon.
It looks like she can dance.
(Seung Eon, go for it!)
(Her eyes seem different as soon as she starts.)
She's a good dancer.
(She shakes and does the wave.)
That's a nice vibe.
(She's envious of Seung Eon.)
(She catches everyone's eyes.)
(She's showing off her sexiness.)
Min Soo, what did you think about her dance?
- I could've done better. - You seemed to like it a lot.
Seung Eon, this move was fantastic.
- Goodness. - She shook her body.
- She was amazing. Her hair... - How can So Youn dance now?
- What am I going to do? - Does she have to dance?
- No, she should dance. - Show us your dance at the club.
- The dance you did at the club. - You should...
Please dance for us.
(So Youn's dance is finally revealed.)
- You'll start from there? - Play the music, please.
- I'll start where she started. - Play the music.
She started.
(She starts dancing as she dreams of dancing just like Seung Eon.)
She's funny from the start.
I don't know anymore.
Why does she dance like that?
(She's dancing in a trance.)
Why does she dance like that? Seriously.
(Laughing)
(Why do you dance like that?)
(She's come to her senses.)
- What on earth is that? - Goodness.
- Is that how you dance? - I'll remember you on today's show.
You don't have to worry about being compared to Seung Eon's dance.
- You dance differently. - I agree.
They are not in the same category.
Whose dance do you want to see again?
It's So Youn's.
- Now you're doing great. - What am I going to do now?
Now, it's Tae Kwan's turn.
- All right. - Tae Kwan.
He said he can do the choreography of Uhm Jung Hwa's song.
- We should see it. - Let's see it.
Go ahead.
Play the song.
("Watch Me Move" by Uhm Jung Hwa)
(Unexpectedly, he dances like a silly boy.)
(Unlike the original choreography, his lower body moves too much.)
(However, the dancer is the most serious.)
(Ta-da)
- Wasn't I good? - You were.
- That was great. - You did well.
You should've danced like this on "Super Start K".
He resembles John Park too.
- You have unique dance moves. - He looks like John.
Where did you learn to dance like that?
I went to her showcase.
- When I saw it, it looked fun. - You mean the backup dancers?
- Yes. - I see.
So Youn, where did you learn to dance like that?
- Can you edit it out? - No, I want to see it again.
- Then you won't have any airtime. - Oh, no.
This has to air. I've been trying to help you, but it's not working.
This has to air.
I want to see Seung Eon flipping her hair once again.
- That's what you do. - No, I don't.
(She has a hard time even after delivering a good performance.)
You are watching four impressive actors and actresses...
and a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is Actors Who Must Keep Their Cool.
Min Soo, you've been acting for 33 years.
You are known to get completely immersed in your roles.
- For "How to Steal a Dog", - It was a good movie.
you tried to live as a homeless in order to prepare for the film.
I usually live like one.
Since I also starred on the film...
- It was a cameo appearance. - That's right.
His outfit didn't look like an actor's.
His hair was as long as up to here. He came on a motorcycle.
From a distance, I didn't recognize him.
Actors sleep at Seoul Station to get into their characters...
when they play homeless people. You didn't do that?
There were times I tried that.
But nowadays,
I don't do things my wife doesn't like.
I see.
- She doesn't like it? - Women hold the absolute power.
Well, I don't think she would like it.
- She wouldn't like it. - Actually, because of the role,
for two months, near Samgakji Station,
- You observed homeless people? - I wanted to live there.
- Your wife stopped you? - I couldn't do it.
Can't she understand it when you tell her it's for the role?
- Now, - He can't because of the smoke.
she's becoming a very big obstacle in my acting career.
Because you have to get your wife's approvals?
I think she might be watching the show.
- We're filming a show. - That's right.
- It might air. - She's probably watching it.
Did your wife scold you a lot?
(In front of his wife, he's gentle.)
Min Soo, everyone recognizes your acting skills.
You rejected two offers from Hollywood?
- That's what I heard. - Really?
It implies he's bad at choosing good projects.
- Hollywood... - Well, thank you.
You rejected great offers.
- Can you tell us a bit more? - Did this happen in the '80s?
It was "Street of Dreams".
I was supposed to work with Robert De Niro.
That's when the incident at Itaewon happened.
I went to the mountain to live at that time.
I was offered the role when I was in the mountain.
I get that you lost the 1st chance. You should've accepted the 2nd one.
- You said there were two offers. - Before that?
You mean the one with Spielberg?
- Really? - With Steven Spielberg?
- What was the film? - It was the "Gladiator".
He talked to me about it five years before it was produced.
The thought I had at that time was that...
I would lose my family if I accepted.
What about now? If you get offers again, will you accept?
Yes!
Under the condition, you and your wife will be apart?
Of course. Do you have to ask?
Why would I say no to such a golden opportunity?
I want to put all the energy I have for my acting into it.
- This can air, right? - This part...
I thought I was watching a play.
(I want to go to Hollywood.)
(He transforms into the Gladiator.)
So Youn, you were the meanest villainess on "Temptation..."
"of an Angel" and "Ruby Ring".
Didn't you play the cruelest role on "Ruby Ring"?
- But you were... - Didn't you turn into someone else?
- That's right. - She looks innocent though.
But you played the nicest character on "Beautiful You" and "Dr. Jin".
Did dramas in which you were a villainess succeed more or not?
The dramas in which I was a villainess were more successful.
- "Dong Yi" was another example. - You don't look mean though.
I think you are good at playing a villainess.
Since I have big eyes, when I glare...
Can you give us a look?
Just like that.
- She's perfect for those roles. - You had to go underwater a lot.
Yes, I had to go underwater quite a few times.
You said there were multiple times you almost died underwater.
I played a gisaeng when I was filming "Dr. Jin".
Is it the one with Song Seung Heon?
Yes.
There is a scene in which I flounder in the water.
Because it was a full shot,
the staff members had to be at a distance.
I said, "I can do a good job."
I jumped into the water with enthusiasm.
My feet were touching the floor of the river first,
but the current soon took me to a deeper area.
I was acting first,
but I came to flounder for real.
People thought I was acting.
Instead of coming to help, they filmed me.
I moved my arms wildly.
The same thing happened to me.
(Suddenly)
The staff members finally realized something was amiss...
and came to rescue me.
I had a line that goes, "Someone save me."
I was in the same situation.
They had no idea you were drowning.
I felt like I was dying, so I yelled out, "Someone save me!"
However, that was my line.
That's when you need to swear.
- I swore. - That's right.
I used so many swear words.
(Save me if you want me to stop swearing.)
So Youn, your big eyes earned you the nickname of Ultraman.
I heard that you struggle a lot because of your eyes.
I don't know if it's because my eyes are big,
but bugs go into my eyes often.
It's possible.
I ride a bicycle these days to exercise.
- There are a lot of winged insects. - That's right.
When I ride a bicycle with a friend,
I get 5 or 6 insects in my eyes when she gets 1.
Since I play the villain often,
I put a lot of stress on my eyes.
Because I need to look strong,
I try not to blink.
It feels like a loss if I blink.
Now that I think about it, villains don't blink often.
- It feels like a loss if I blink. - You keep your eyes open.
Is there a rule?
- It's my rule. - I see.
I try not to lose in a staring contest.
I see.
Insects don't go into your eyes just because they are big.
My eyes are big too.
There is glass in front of your eyes.
- No, there isn't. - No?
His glasses have no glass.
Anyone would be able to tell.
(There is no glass.)
- Do insects... - His glasses have no glass either.
Do insects stay away because they think there is glass?
"He is wearing glasses. Let's go someplace else."
(I want to wear glasses.)
Since So Youn plays a lot of villains,
she always has to use her palm and cheek.
She slaps and gets slapped often.
When I get slapped,
- emotions well up. - It's a human reaction.
There are times when it doesn't happen.
- It's like that sometimes. - Emotions didn't well up.
- I would know. - I wanted to do a good job.
Have you gotten slapped?
I have gotten slapped many times.
Why do they always throw water in the face in dramas?
- I have gotten slapped many times. - I guess...
it's a cliche.
In reality programs, they use different ingredients...
- like ssamjang. - Don't be ridiculous.
Why would anyone use ssamjang?
Radio Star is over 10 years old, right?
It sounds like...
a conversation at a retirement house.
- Seriously. - It's Gook Jin's fault.
- It's Gook Jin's fault. - He will enter one soon.
It's Gook Jin's fault.
In 10 years,
they will ask a guest,
"Who are you?"
- I feel like it will happen. - That's plausible.
Hong Gi, it must be hard on you.
It's hard on me.
Let's go back to So Youn's story.
One time, I had to get slapped by Lee Hwi Hwang.
Even after I got slapped, I couldn't get into the emotion.
I was supposed to cry.
It must have hurt because Lee Hwi Hyang is big.
- She is strong. - That's right.
I couldn't get into the emotion.
"I'm sorry. Let me give it another try."
I got slapped five times that day.
(This is the last.)
(The force of the slap makes her shed tears.)
She must have a high level of endurance.
Even if it hurts, I feel great when a scene goes well.
Emotions don't well up...
when you aren't satisfied with your delivery of the line.
- You can't channel the emotion. - I can't channel the emotion.
- I feel like I am lying. - It's like hearing someone say,
"You are a fool"...
- without feeling a thing. - I don't feel angry.
That's right.
- You are a fool. - He will make you angry.
(If you can't channel the emotion, call Gu Ra.)
Since when did they start hitting for real in dramas?
It was all an act in the past.
I hit for real from the start.
You hit for real from the start.
No one hit for real in the past.
How can anyone withstand Min Soo's punch?
I make sure it doesn't hurt.
For an example,
- if I have to hit Gook Jin... - Hit me.
This is what you do when you only pretend to hit.
- This one doesn't hurt, right? - That's right.
I pull back at the last moment.
This is...
It's scary, right?
- You are... - You are trembling.
I am very happy.
- That was incredible. - You need to act.
That was incredible.
You need to act like you took a hit.
If I have to punch the face...
Don't punch my face.
Please punch my chest.
Your chest? I do this.
(He acts like he took a hit.)
Because the clothes move,
the punch looks believable.
He took a punch for real this time.
- Didn't it hurt? - Didn't it hurt?
- Do you want to take a punch? - No, thank you.
I have a weak heart.
- My goodness. - Please move back a little.
Please move back a little.
I will only touch this much.
There you go.
I wouldn't call it a touch.
- Add blood with computer graphics. - You barely touched him.
I will touch him.
- There you go. - It doesn't hurt.
It stings.
Gook Jin's punch stings.
Gook Jin, try it.
- Gook Jin. - You did it with force.
It didn't hurt, right?
- Gook Jin, try it. - I can do that.
I touched you,
- but it didn't hurt, right? - He did it with force.
- It doesn't hurt, right? - Stop it.
- It doesn't hurt, right? - You are touching him too much.
- He is getting angry. - For goodness' sake.
(Min Soo becomes angry.)
(He startled me.)
You know how to use the water bottle.
(You startled me.)
Take the face for an instance.
Watch carefully.
It will hurt if the punch extends this far.
It hurt a bit.
- It hurt a bit. - For an example,
it will hurt if I punch with my knuckles.
However, it's necessary...
for the punch to look believable in slow motion.
- Punch him. - If I have to punch his face,
I would do this.
His face turned red.
I am very happy.
- Why would you be happy? - It doesn't hurt.
It really doesn't hurt.
May I give it a try?
(He strikes back without fear.)
It doesn't hurt, right?
You can stop now, Gook Jin.
- It doesn't hurt. - You can stop now.
It doesn't hurt, right?
Is there something sharp or heavy?
(Is there something sharp or heavy?)
(My stomach hurts from laughing.)
Min Soo is incredible. The punch didn't hurt at all.
It's a courtesy for other actors.
- I practiced a lot. - We have seen Min Soo...
fight people like me or Kang Ho Dong.
However, Gook Jin weighs a bit over 50kg.
You gave us a funny scene.
Really?
There is no drama with such fight scene.
I wouldn't write that if I were a screenwriter.
(It's a fight scene you can only see on Radio Star.)
Tae Kwan, you debuted with "Descendants of the Sun".
Kim Eun Sook is preparing for the next drama.
I heard that...
she is preparing for a drama that requires English skills.
I love you.
(It's a message to Kim Eun Sook.)
Don't do something that makes you look shabby.
- I take it back. - Don't do that.
You played the lead...
of Kim Eun Sook's debut drama, "South Of the Sun".
- It happened in the past. - It was her debut drama.
- Kim Soo Ryong directed it. - That's right.
Yes, I did.
Back then, Kim Eun Sook couldn't write very well.
- It was her debut drama. - She really couldn't.
She won't give him a role either way.
(He attacked me.)
Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are in a relationship.
Did you know beforehand?
I didn't know. However...
I don't think he is their close friend.
No, I am not.
When we had a team dinner in the beginning,
the director told them,
"Try to act with love for each other."
- He gave them a direction. - It was for their roles.
Joong Ki replied,
"I am doing fine on my own."
I see.
Now that I think about it,
- he was doing fine on his own. - It was a hint.
It seems that way.
Don't take too much interest in other people's lives.
Focus on yourself.
Min Soo is right.
Focus on yourself.
It's a win for Radio Star.
(Tae Kwan's report on Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo at the team dinner)
This is the first time...
I have seen his side profile.
- He is handsome. - He is handsome.
You flatter me.
His father is handsome too.
Still, he doesn't compare to me in the past.
- Anyways, he is handsome. - He is handsome.
Both of you are handsome.
He looks particularly handsome...
if I look at this side first.
That's what he wanted to say.
(Gook Jin and Min Soo are childish.)
When I looked Seung Eon up on the internet,
"Maxim" came up...
as a related keyword.
A lot of people will look her up now.
I heard that...
the magazine sold out completely.
People had to pay extra to get it.
- The thing is... - Don't exaggerate.
I agreed to the shoot...
because it was for the cover of a well-known magazine.
However, people reacted in a strange way.
"Are you really going to do it?"
"Why did you agree to it?" That's what people said.
Apparently, it's a magazine...
- a lot of soldiers read in Korea. - It sells a lot.
Even in abroad, men mostly read "Maxim".
I bet bookstores wrapped the magazine.
People wouldn't buy it after they see the pictures.
That's right. "I am done."
I looked up the magazine on the internet later...
- and realized my mistake. - You couldn't take it back.
I met the magazine journalist...
and attended the meeting that decides on the concept.
We even picked the swimsuits together.
I requested to pick one-piece swimsuits...
- instead of bikinis, - One-piece swimsuits.
but they didn't seem like...
- one-piece swimsuits. - In Mexico...
Do you have some extra copies of those magazines?
Do you want some?
Look it up, and you'll find one.
- You can find it? - If you look it up, you will.
- You'll find it with a research? - Turning over the pages is crucial.
Do you have one now?
It means he wants a copy.
- "I'm sorry, but I want a copy." - I'll bring one.
- It means he wants it now. - I'm also curious...
- about the magazine. - Really?
- I'll lend it to you. - Let me see it after you.
- I'll lend it to you. - All right.
What a strange skit.
The two-people's teamwork is great today.
The viewers will find it hilarious.
It feels like "Saturday Saturday Is Fun".
(With Gook Jin and Min Soo, Wednesday is fun.)
Seung Eon, you're known as an expert of commercials.
Electronics, beverage, cosmetics, and so forth...
You were in many commercials.
You were in so many commercials, but it was hard to look pretty.
You were in so many commercials, yet I can't remember seeing you.
You're unbelievable.
"Which commercial was she in?"
What's the most famous one?
- The most famous one. - I was in many when I debuted.
Which one? Is there anything we can remember?
Well... I don't quite remember... I heard that it won an award.
It was a commercial where I flew in the air...
and landed in a trash can.
(Since when did we throw away people in trash cans?)
It was a public advertisement.
It wasn't a public advertisement.
I don't know it.
(He feels bad somehow.)
- All right. - Is it hard for you to look pretty?
Yes, I'm still shooting...
cosmetic commercials on a regular basis.
Since they're commercials for women,
I need to pretend to be pretty.
That was very embarrassing at first,
but now it's become natural as a part of my work.
- Do you have a tip to look pretty? - Show us.
You need to use your hands well.
- I have long hands... - She has long hands.
Gosh, this is really embarrassing.
- How did you get the commercials? - Oh, dear.
- They're from the commercials... - Of course.
- I'd go like this... - You got paid. What are you doing?
Like this.
(She looks completely refreshing.)
A bit more. A bit more.
(Smiling)
Exactly. That was amazing!
- Just a bit more. Once again. - I'm so embarrassed.
- Try this. - Oh, my.
There is a picture advertisers want.
Something like that. I see.
- She's so good. - She is.
- It became natural with experience. - You're so good at it.
Did you play the piano when you were younger? You have really long hands.
I really liked playing the piano...
You'd be a great bowler.
I'm quite good at bowling.
- Are you luring her into bowling? - No, no.
Seung Eon, you have a lot of luck with men. In "The King"...
- It's "luck with male actors". - "Luck with..."
- "male actors". - They're two different things.
Aren't they the same?
- No, they're different. - She's too young for that.
- Luck with male actors. - I see.
You've worked with many great actors.
In "The King", you had an intimate kiss scene with Zo In Sung.
Is there an actor with whom you want to shoot love-making scenes?
(Seriously?)
I see. Well...
There was a kiss scene with In Sung,
but I was actually captivated by...
- Bae Seong Woo at the set. - Bae Seong Woo.
Seong Woo was very charming.
Seong Woo is not bad.
I'm serious.
Seriously,
once the director starts filming at the set,
- he changes completely. - He's cool.
It was a scene where we all drank...
and partied.
I really thought that he was crazy.
I got chills from seeing him acting.
I thought that staying beside people like him...
would make me become a great actress.
That's why the director reduced your role.
"Why is she suddenly in love with Bae Seong Woo?"
(Seong Woo Over Flowers)
Min Soo, every Korean knows that you're very manly,
yet you showed how you do the dishes and drive for your wife on a show.
That was a great shock to the viewers.
A lot of unexpected side of yours were shown on the drama,
I mean the variety show.
I'm living a life of a count now.
Get out of the role for a bit.
- Just for a little bit. - I heard...
that he used to be manly, and that June Kang was...
very obedient.
However, after living with him...
- for some time, - Living with him...
their roles...
- were entirely switched. - In fact...
In fact, that's not true. From the very beginning,
she was fierce.
That's not what your wife said on the TV show.
She lied to look cool.
Are you defying your madam?
- Are you defying your madam? - She must be watching this.
He says she lied.
I'm not lying.
(I'm a man of integrity.)
(His role as a count on the drama puts himself in danger.)
Min Soo, you'll be beaten up when you go home.
(You'll be beaten up when you go home.)
- When you're determined, - I will...
- you must say it. - I will...
live the day.
(I'm Choi Min Soo. I will live the day.)
He's so cool.
Actually, my wife came into the room...
and cried this morning.
- She cried? - Really?
I was afraid if I've done something wrong. I looked at her.
"Min Soo".
(His wife said...)
"The more I learn about Korea, the more I appreciate you."
It was so sudden,
so I thought my allowance might be reduced.
I was still nervous at the moment.
"Thank you so much..."
"for loving me."
I'm a bit nervous.
I wonder why she said such thing.
- Do you not know the reason yet? - Excuse me?
- What? - The reason.
In fact, I have a feeling...
that it's because of the fact that I'm working on a drama.
She gives me a little portion of the performance fee.
- She gives you money? - Yes.
She gives me around 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.
She may be trying to win me over since she doesn't want to give it.
(Suspicious)
So you don't know the exact reason yet.
Seriously, you're thinking about all sorts of things.
What she means by that is...
that she appreciates what you do for her...
(Jong Shin thinks that his wife appreciates him.)
after having lived in Korea.
I guess so. You should've asked her.
What she means by saying "thank you" is...
another way of asking me to accept her whatsoever.
"No matter what decision I make,"
- "you shouldn't go against it." - Were your predictions often right?
That gut of my instinct saved my life.
- That helped me live. - That saved your life.
That was my driving force.
(Min Soo's conspiracy will continue in a bit.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the four actors who captivate viewers...
with their phenomenal acting skills.
We got a story from a person who witnessed Choi Min Soo.
Kim Na Young gave us the tip-off.
"I'm a vendor of a shopping complex at Dongdaemun."
"A while ago, Choi Min Soo..."
"came to the shop next door to buy a silver product."
He likes silver.
"He was dressed as a motorcycle biker."
"There were chains over his waist,"
"and all kinds of silver accessories were dangling on his body."
"And yet, he was buying another silver product."
- "I've never seen a man like that." - He likes silver.
"Seeing him haggle over the price..."
"surprised me."
"He's the best haggler. Min Soo is the best."
Do you usually haggle over the price?
- No, I don't. - She says you did though.
That's true.
(I don't usually haggle, but I did haggle.)
- What is that? - Did you have to?
- I know its market value. - You know the market value.
- I... - You know how much silver is.
I wasn't born yesterday. I know exactly how much it is.
I'm a regular of that shop.
The vendor there can't rip me off.
"Rip me off..."
- They try to rip you off there. - That's right.
- They can't rip you off. - Did he rip you off that day?
Compared to its production cost,
I'd measure if my effort of coming to the store is more than...
- what he put to get the product. - The charge for the service.
- You weigh the difference. - After tuning that up,
I can come up with a suitable price.
- Since you both put much effort. - That's right.
Do you prefer silver over gold?
- Yes. - Do you use silverware at home?
Yes, silver.
- Even his answer is "silver". - Silver.
- He's happy. - Is your allowance 300 dollars?
- It's 400 dollars. - Does it increase at all?
When "What is Mom" was aired,
so many people told her to increase it,
so she raised it by 100 dollars.
She raised it.
What do you use the 400 dollars for?
- In fact, - She raised it.
I actually manage the car at home,
so I get a bit of commission from that.
I'll have 2 dollars left after getting 10 dollars for a car wash.
- The rest is your earnings. - That's right.
That's why I must do the chores.
You're a laborer there.
(Min Soo is a laborer at home.)
(Correct!)
Anyway, with the additional income,
- I support my own living. - He cleans the car.
Yes, and to be honest, it's not easy living with 400 dollars.
- It's not easy. - It's really difficult.
- It's incredibly difficult. - That's too little.
- Even for my motorcycle gas, - It can get pretty expensive.
I had to use the bonus from...
- putting gas in other cars. - Wow, I see.
- You can collect points for gas. - You can.
There's no need to look at me with such sad eyes.
I have zero shame for how I lived.
But you don't seem too confident in our eyes.
But I know that you make leather goods.
Doesn't the leather cost a lot?
- For that, I... - Do you buy them secretly?
No, there's a shop I go to in Sinseol-dong.
Oh, you get them cheap from a shop you know.
And now that I've been doing it for around 20 years,
I know how to get around paying.
Don't you sell the goods you've made or earn profit from them?
For example, if I get eight rolls of leather,
I make wallets and such with the leather,
and I give a couple to the shop owner.
- Then that covers the leather cost. - You're even then.
That's a very primitive way of doing things.
You acquire resources, make goods, and barter.
(Butler Choi's 21st century innovative economy)
So Youn, you've been married for 2 years now.
Does your husband ever upset you?
Early in our relationship and marriage,
my husband was completely devoted to only me.
But now, he's become interested in other areas in his life...
- and focuses more on his career. - Yes.
So I end up thinking that his feelings for me have faded a little.
He's not interested in other women. Is he just focusing on his career?
Yes.
He can't be interested in other women!
Then what is he supposed to do?
Your husband must be so frustrated.
How can you be upset with him for focusing on his work?
Let me give you a tip. So this is what I think.
There are various degrees to how upset you can feel.
Sometimes, this occurs to me.
For every script, prop, lighting, camera, and anything else,
I think about what the process was.
I look into how they came to be and what the whole process was.
So instead of feeling upset,
you can put in the effort to encourage him.
Then you'll have a better view of the situation.
- I should do that. - But, you just said...
that your wife suddenly started crying,
and you worried she'd cut down your allowance.
Then why did you think that?
What happened this morning...
The incident from this morning.
Oh, so that happened because reality is a little different.
(Laughing)
So Youn married a man...
- who is two years younger than her. - He's younger than you.
She's been married for two years.
Did you decide to marry him four months and a half after you met him?
No, it was...
a month after we met when we decided to get married.
- Just one month? - Both of you?
- Yes. - Wow.
- You must have had a good feeling. - It was just really amazing.
On our third date, he said he wanted a serious relationship.
But since I wasn't really young,
I refused in a roundabout way, saying we'd only just met.
But on our way out, he grabbed my hand.
But I didn't mind it at all. I liked it.
That says it all.
Yes, and since then,
he kept telling me, "I think we'll get married."
It was just our third time seeing each other.
That could have sounded very abrupt.
But her husband must have felt it very strongly.
If it feels good when holding hands, that's all you need.
So after a month and a half, we arranged our parents to meet.
Of course, our parents were surprised.
We decided to get married only after a month and a half.
So then, when did you get married?
We got married after four and a half months from meeting each other.
So it's not that they decided after four months. They got married.
They just got married.
- Just after four months and a half? - Yes.
How did you meet him?
It was just a blind date.
- That still amazes me too. - You two were meant to be then.
You two were meant to be.
Is your husband more handsome than the singer Rain?
No.
- When he proposed... - So his eyes are small?
Yes, he has small eyes.
That's why he resembles Rain.
I heard when he proposed, his hands trembled a lot.
So your tears of joy went right back in?
So he told me there was a really good song he wanted me to hear.
But when he was taking out his earphones,
his hands were shaking like this.
So I noticed something was weird, and he was about to do something.
We were listening to this song called "Piano Season".
You had one earbud in each other's ear?
Yes, and he said he had a letter for me.
But when he gave me the letter, his hands shook even more.
He's very innocent. He must not have done that before.
If he were smooth, you could've wondered if he's experienced.
It's better than doing all that with ease.
(The proposal was more moving because it was clumsy.)
Tae Kwan got married on November 5, last year.
Choi Soo Jong is famous for being a great husband.
So I heard like your uncle, you proposed twice.
I felt really bad...
because we always went to jokbal or pho restaurants.
I couldn't really take her to nice places.
I'm not really like my uncle or the type to put on events.
And the day came when it was time for me to put on some event.
- Was she disappointed? - I didn't know what to do.
She must have expected something big since you're Soo Jong's nephew.
- She might have. - He's Soo Jong's nephew.
- No more sundaeguk. - Right.
So since I had to arrange something special that day,
I said we should go to a hotel restaurant. She probably noticed.
We went, but I was still lost on what to do.
I saw all these videos of guys decorating their car trunk...
so that when it opens, they can pop the question.
But I knew it wasn't my style, so I wondered.
So first, I just stood up,
but I was still lost on what to do in my head.
- So I just rummaged my pocket... - Did you just give it to her?
No. Oh, the fabric color's strange.
I just went, "Let's do this, ring."
- That's how it ended. - Like that?
(No way. That was it?)
- Even from a man's point of view, - That's the worst.
- that's the worst! - That's awful. What is that?
I said, "Let's do this, ring."
"Let's do this, ring?"
That's the worst name ever.
(That's the worst name ever.)
That must be in the top three worst proposals I've ever heard of.
Just do it like this from now on.
Hey, I bought this ring, but it doesn't fit me.
- You take it. - I wanted something like that.
- Yes, I wanted to be cool. - Seung Eon likes that.
- That's what you like? - She likes it.
- I wanted to be cool like that. - That was...
no better than not doing it.
So Youn played a lot of villainess and cold roles on TV so far,
but when you went to Spain with your father for a family trip,
you broke down in tears?
My father went to Spain for business and my brother and I followed.
He wanted to take us to a FC Barcelona soccer match,
and have us see Messi. So he took us along.
Even though we were in our mid-20s, he still thought of us as children.
So he told us give him our passports...
since there are a lot of pickpockets there.
We told him we'll be fine,
but he made a fuss and insisted that he keep them.
So we gave him our passports.
He put them in his inner pocket, and we were waiting for the match.
But suddenly, he let out a scream, and put his hands like this.
We asked him what happened,
and it turned out that a pickpocket pepper sprayed his eyes.
- So he lost all our passports. - Your father did?
- Yes! - The kids said they would keep it.
- My goodness. - All three of us...
If you keep them in one place, you can lose them all at once.
When she said that...
It'd have been easy to notice since there was a bulge on his jacket.
- They know everything. - So what happened?
So we were lost, but we wanted to see the soccer match.
And there wasn't much we could do, so we went to see the match.
- Did you see Messi? - I did.
Did you see El Clasico?
Which team played against Barcelona?
- She doesn't know. - I don't think it was El Clasico.
Spain...
It's one of the teams from Spain.
- She just went to see Messi. - Messi was all that mattered.
- I don't know much about soccer. - She doesn't know.
- She just saw Messi. - That's all she saw.
- I just knew Messi. - It was Messi against Spain.
(Win Messi!)
Seung Eon, you're more obsessed with cleaning than Seo Jang Hoon?
If you're more obsessed than Jang Hoon, that's trouble.
People obsessed with cleaning have to meet others like them.
- No, so... - OCD has to be with OCD.
- Meeting someone dirty? - But...
- That's trouble. - what I mean is...
- I'm not really good at organizing. - What's your obsession then?
I thought it wasn't anything particular,
but I always wipe my phone with alcohol wipes.
I also wipe remote controls,
light switches, and things I always touch.
- You wipe switches? - Yes, I do.
I have a thing against germs.
Yes. If you think about it, using someone else's phone can be...
- I see hints of Jang Hoon in that. - So I can't use others' phones.
- I would use the phone like this. - That's like Jang Hoon.
So that it doesn't touch the ears.
- Really? - Some can't use others' earphones.
- I never use another's earphones. - Because there's ear wax on them.
- Yes. - You're right.
There's so much ear wax on them.
The ear wax can come out when you pull out your earphones.
(She doesn't even want to imagine.)
- It's all there. - Then with your boyfriend,
how do you handle touching him?
Do you wipe your hands immediately?
I always carry a hand sanitizer.
Then before you kiss him, do you wipe his lips with alcohol wipes?
- I don't wipe his lips. - Then do you not let...
your boyfriend touch your face?
It's not just my boyfriend. Even I don't touch my own face.
Then how did you film those scenes in "The King"?
- Well, that was my job. - It's work.
How does your boyfriend deal with not being able to touch you?
Does he have to wear surgical gloves?
- Okay, so shall we make out? - No, so I...
I wouldn't say I'm OCD.
- I don't think it is. - When you're in the bathroom...
I have a sudden question.
In the bathroom, after you use the toilet, do you wash your hands?
- I wash both before and after. - I see.
Then you really are OCD.
(OCD confirmed)
Am I?
And also, before you made your debut,
you were a devoted fan to many singers.
You were confident you would be able to date one of them.
Whose fan were you?
I was a fan of S.E.S and g.o.d.
I was in "Yoga Class" with Eugene.
I was such a big fan of Son Ho Young...
that I visited him on his birthday to give him a present.
I came to work with him...
- for a web drama. - That's right.
Like every woman,
- I was a fan of Zo In Sung. - You succeeded as a fan.
I have always ended up working with celebrities I liked.
- You acted with them. - That's right.
It was very fascinating.
I understand that it will be hard to reveal,
but have you dated a celebrity?
(I have a question.)
Why did you ask if you know it will be hard to reveal?
- She can give a short answer. - It's a ridiculous question.
- It's not like we want a name. - That's right.
I didn't exactly date him.
A relationship doesn't work if both parties need caring.
- So you have met someone. - It didn't work out.
- I don't keep things secret though. - You should meet a celebrity...
who doesn't have a manager.
Only the old celebrities don't have a manager.
They negotiate the appearance fee themselves.
- It's a prejudice. - Old celebrities do that.
I hope you meet a nice man.
(Thank you.)
Seung Eon, while it's not a well-known fact,
you claim the success of a drama depends on your hunch.
You must have a good hunch.
For me, it's the opposite.
Whenever I thought something will be successful,
it didn't live up to my expectation.
When I didn't think much of something,
- it became successful. - "The King of Jokgu".
"The King" was like that too.
Did you think it would be very successful?
The director's previous movie had close to 10,000,000 viewers.
A lot of A-list actors were in it too.
What is your prediction on "Man Who Dies to Live"?
I am worried...
because I thought the script was very funny.
It makes me worried.
(It will be a hit.)
Tae Kwan, what is your prediction on the viewer rating?
I don't necessarily believe in dreams,
but I dreamed about a gory murder.
- Can I talk about it? - Of course you can.
- Edit it out if it's too much. - You should sell the dream.
Should I sell the dream? Will the luck disappear?
I will buy it.
Then "Man Who Dies to Live" won't be a hit.
(He is slow.)
(Maybe I shouldn't say anything.)
I heard it's good to see blood in a dream.
It's good luck to see it close up in a dream.
Blood and poop are good in a dream.
- I still have goosebumps. - The drama will be a hit.
He should have pooped his pants after seeing the blood.
(My goodness.)
(There are no scientific grounds.)
In January, you made an appearance on "King of Mask Singer".
It was funny because he was uncontrollable.
Min Soo lost to Eddy Kim.
(He sang "That Is Only My World" by Deulgukhwa.)
(He surprised the viewers with his singing skills.)
I heard that you decided to visit "King of Mask Singer"...
because you wanted people to call you a big brother.
Did I say that?
- That's what I heard. - You said that.
I was in front of you.
I guess I said that.
- I remember saying that... - You said that.
people don't have a big brother figure...
who is worth the title.
I feel that a lot these days.
I guess it comes with age.
I am serious.
Why do you use this gesture?
It's the style of the count.
It emphasizes what I am saying.
- It underlines what you said. - That's right.
It's important.
Anyway,
people who are older than me have called me a big brother...
about two times.
I loved it.
My entire body felt refreshed.
That must be why...
I said that at "King of Mask Singer".
You like it when junior actors call you "Big brother".
Of course I do.
I prefer "Big brother"...
to strict titles.
Do you call him "Big Brother"?
When I met him for the first time,
he told me to call him "Big brother".
- I couldn't do that. - That's understandable.
I still find it hard.
(Call me "Big brother".)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
The four guests who make Radio Star nervous prepared the next segment.
Songs that make Radio Star nervous.
We will get to hear Min Soo sing again.
("My Own Way" by Kim Ki Ha)
It has been a while since I heard Kim Ki Ha's song.
"My Own Way".
Why did you choose this song?
- Why did I choose this song? - Yes.
I remember that...
in the beginning of "Man Who Dies to Live",
there is a chase scene that was filmed in the desert sandstorm.
For a scene like that one,
pop or rock songs are used.
Since the character is 19 years old,
I thought an old-fashioned Korean song would be a good fit.
Then this song came to my mind.
That's why I chose the song.
Did you film the chase scene in the Middle East?
No, we filmed it in a similar place that is Daegu.
(It is hot in Daegu.)
- It feels like the Middle East. - That's right.
They didn't go to the Middle East. It's too hot there.
Let's hear Min Soo's "My Own Way".
(He is serious from the start.)
(The world hasn't deserted me yet)
(Looking away)
(The world hasn't deserted me yet)
(I don't like the life)
(That is tamed by fate)
(He is cool.)
(A cactus is growing in the desert.)
(His charisma burns.)
(His charisma knocks out the cactus.)
(He channels his character in the drama.)
(Haughty)
(Even if the reality surges like a wave)
(Reality)
(I won't become weak)
(Ambitious)
(Ta-da)
(I won't give up or hesitate)
(I won't cry anymore)
(They are absorbed.)
(Never again)
(He looks back on his past.)
(I will become happy)
(The clean finale is fitting of a count.)
He is so free-spirited on the stage.
I haven't seen anyone who looks so good in a white blazer.
A double-breasted jacket.
It would be a shame if he only remains in Korea.
I agree with you.
- It would be a shame. - If we have to pick an actor...
to represent the country,
I think...
(They are preparing for the next performance.)
Do you want me to stop?
They want you to stop.
I would pick Min Soo...
to represent the country.
- He is cool. - I would send Min Soo...
- to China. - He is very cool.
(He will conquer the world with his acting skills.)
Shall we hear the song Seung Eon chose?
("Eve's Warning" by Lena Park)
"Eve's Warning".
This is Lena Park's version of the song.
It's the song she sang in "I Am A Singer".
Seung Eon, you visited "King of Mask Singer"...
and competed against Yangpa.
(She was Sailor Moon of Justice.)
(She showed her cheerful and lovely charms.)
(Excited)
(She made male panelists' hearts flutter.)
(However, Yangpa's explosive voice...)
(made her get eliminated in Round One.)
Why did you choose this song?
They said a ballad song will make the viewer rating drop.
- I wanted to sing a ballad song. - Which one?
"One Late Night in 1994".
- They said it will be depressing. - The viewer rating will drop.
They said the performance will be edited out.
We can't allow you to sing that song.
Kim Dong Ryul's songs are nice, but depressing.
The songs are nice.
Seung Eon will sing "Eve's Warning".
("Eve's Warning" by Hwang Seung Eon)
(She slowly moves to the rhythm.)
(Shy)
(Transforming)
(She is good.)
(If you try to deceive me)
(She makes the camera move to the rhythm.)
(Seung Eon has lovely charms.)
(Take this.)
(The performance begins in earnest.)
Please clap.
- Don't sit still. - You are doing great.
This is nice.
(Provocative)
(Hong Gi falls for her.)
(I am worried because my hunch is never wrong)
(If you know how I feel)
(Don't make any more mistakes)
(The honest lyrics...)
(suit Seung Eon, who doesn't mince her words.)
(If you act like it's a skill only you have)
(and try to deceive me)
(I won't love you)
(Her charming performance...)
(turns the studio into a stage at an army base.)
(Flustered)
She is full of charms.
- It was natural. - Does she need to bowl?
She should bowl with those fingers of hers.
There's Son Ho Young at the bowling alley.
(He finds Hong Gi's reaction funny.)
- The red color... - It's...
The microphone was okay, right?
Yes, it's because I have a bad stage fright.
There was no special host...
who was as enthusiastic as him to female guests.
- "Bowling alley, nice." - FT Island is the best indeed.
It's because Son Ho Young goes to the bowling alley...
- I often visit. - Is that so?
- That's why. - You're using Ho Young as a bait.
- Don't use hm. - I might be scolded.
It was "Radio Star, Are You Nervous Special" today.
- Tell us what you thought about... - It's Lee Ju Il's version.
- Or is it Na Hoon A? - the show. Min Soo?
Will these two not sing?
- No, they won't sing today. - They won't?
Based on her dance earlier, I don't think she'll sing well.
- That's right. It'll be edited out. - Yes.
- I tried to save So Youn, - Exactly.
- but she died. - So Youn is...
- a totally honest person. - That's right.
- She's a nice person. - I agree.
- She seems really nice. - Exactly.
- So Youn... - Tell us how you felt. Min Soo.
It was really nice to be on the show after a long time.
It was nice to see the three of you.
- Hong Gi, congratulations. - Thank you. Excuse me?
You should be a regular host now.
(You should become a regular host now!)
Is this a one-time thing? No, you must continue because of money.
- All right. - I still feel like your manager.
- All right. - You must do it no matter what.
- All right - Okay.
Become a regular host of this show.
Please make Hong Gi a regular host of the show.
Making Hong Gi become a regular host is what you thought about the show?
Yes, exactly.
I see. That's what he thought now.
Tae Kwan, tell us what you thought about the show today.
In my opinion, I used up all my energy for the show.
Is that so? What do you mean?
I'm very sure of it.
- I used up all my energy. - We didn't feel any energy though.
(Why didn't we feel any energy?)
So Youn, what did you think?
I feel bad because I didn't do anything.
- That's not true. - Your dance was okay.
- I loved your dance. - Seriously.
That footage will go around forever.
(The Japanese club dance will go around forever!)
- Forever... - It was nice to see you all...
in person on a show I enjoy watching. I had fun.
Seung Eon.
I prepared a lot to be here,
but I ended up being unruly.
No, no.
However, I'm working hard on the drama,
so please enjoy watching "Man Who Dies to Live".
(Please watch "Man Who Dies to Live"!)
Hong Gi was the special host...
- of the day. - He was most enthusiastic of all.
Let's hear what he thought of the show.
I've always been here as a guest,
but today I was sitting here as a host.
It's nice to be able to say anything.
- You could say anything. - I could say anything.
- He was very random. - He never followed the script.
He even showed interest in a female guest. It was really nice.
- I had so much fun. - He's a big shot.
Not anyone can be his manager.
- He's a big shot indeed. - Thank you. It was so much fun.
With totally unpredictable stories,
these four made us all nervous.
"I thought I would completely captivate all the viewers this way."
What are you talking about?
"I thought I'd have you this way."
- This is how you should say it. - "I thought I'd have you."
I hope you'll drive away this summer's heat wave...
with "Man Who Dies to Live".
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
("Following" by Kim Tae Woo)
