- I'm listening to their songs.
You're so proactive.
- Wow, you guys dance very well.
You're good.
- Thank you.
We're EXO on our sixth year since debut.
- Aren't they at a different level?
The rhythm and their performance. - It's good.
Growl, growl.
- He sounds angry. - This is the highlight.
Growl, growl.
- A real growl.
- Our mission for today is this.
Han Soon-hwa.
- Go to Grandma...
- Go to Grandma to find your spoons
and have a meal at Ildo area.
- Ho-dong, I've done some research, and there's a haenyeo village.
If you look here, she's one of the haenyeo, the female divers.
She has our spoons.
- We've arrived at Gimnyeong area.
It's a short trip.
Thank you, sir.
- Have a good day.
Have a good day.
- The weather is so nice.
The sea breeze is so refreshing.
- This is nice.
- The wind is nice, Kyung-kyu.
- Good, good.
Very good.
- I think this is the charm of Jeju Island.
- Save your breath.
We need to talk with the haenyeo when we meet them.
We need to find the grandma.
Here's a real estate office.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Where's the haenyeo village?
- There's a fishing village.
You can find it there.
- How do we get to the fishing village?
- It's further down this way.
- We need to go to the fishing village.
- Or if you go down this way, next to the dressing room at the beach,
there's a round, black greenhouse, which is a sushi restaurant.
If you ask that place, they'll know.
- The restaurant has been around for a while.
Thank you.
- Our haenyeo uncles went through hardships
to protect this village, so when you meet her...
- Uncles?
- Haenyeo uncles.
Here, we call both men and women uncles.
- Haenyeo uncles.
- You call them uncles and not aunts?
- (Narration) Regardless of gender, all elders are called uncles on Jeju Island.
Gimnyeong area, which is famous to have many haenyeo uncles,
is a quiet and clean village along the sea.
- Where is she?
- Kyung-kyu, this stone wall...
- It moves.
- What's fascinating about this is, look.
It's like this.
But in certain areas, there are stone walls that are over 100 years old.
This is science, right?
It's empty inside. - Basalt?
- Since it's empty inside, even the strongest wind passes through,
so perhaps that's why it doesn't move.
- Maybe that's why they made air holes like this.
Instead of closing them up, right?
- There are air holes in the rocks themselves too.
If you go up the Hallasan, they don't have that.
What do you call that... The place where you drink water.
- Mineral spring. - They don't have mineral springs.
- Why?
- The water leaks through.
The water leaks through.
So when you climb the mountains in Jeju Island, you have to bring water.
There's no spring. - Really?
This is high-level information.
- It's not high-level information It's basic knowledge.
- (Narration) It is Lee Kyung-kyu's Dictionary of Useless Knowledge.
- Are we really following our instincts and nothing else?
- It's all about our instincts.
- Grandma Han Soon-hwa.
- With our instincts.
- Ma'am, do you know Grandma Han Soon-hwa?
Grandma Han Soon-hwa.
- I don't know.
- She's a haenyeo.
- Han Soon-hwa?
Haenyeo. Over that way.
- Where?
- I don't know, but haenyeo is a haenyeo.
- So if we go this way, where is she?
- It's the ocean this way.
- Let's go to the ocean.
- Thank you.
- Ma'am, do you know Grandma Han Soon-hwa?
- What?
- Grandma Han Soon-hwa.
- Han Soon-hwa?
I do.
- Where is she?

There's more than one Han Soon-hwa in this village.
Ma'am, don't fight.

- Sea cucumbers.
Ma'am, how many haenyeo live here?
- About a hundred in Gimnyeong area.
- About a hundred. - There were more before.
- All the haenyeo have grown old, and there is no younger generation after us.
- Does nobody want to become a haenyeo because it's a difficult job?
- The younger generation doesn't want to.
- Ma'am, where's Grandma Han Soon-hwa?
- Over here.
- Are you Grandma Han Soon-hwa? - Yes.
- Ma'am, do you have our spoons? - Yes.
- There they are.
Our spoons.
- But I don't give anything for free.
- Then what should we do?

- Then I'm going in.
I'll leave my cellphone.

Should EXO dance to Growl while singing?
- Sure.
- Then, should we listen to EXO's song?
- Applause.
- One, two, three, four.
I growl, growl.
If you don't get away, you might get hurt.
- I don't know how to clap along.
- Do we not get our spoons?
- Are you not giving us our spoons?
- We won't if you sing like that.
- Ma'am, EXO sang you a song.
- Silly, silly.
- Give us our spoons.
- We can't. - Please.
- You're going to fall in.
- If you don't give us our spoons, I won't give this back.
- That's right.
We're taking these sea cucumbers.
Kyung-kyu, greedy, greedy.
- You're so greedy, hoo, hoo, hoot.
She's my small and adorable cutie pie.
- He'll roll his eyes. Look at his eyes.
- I'm rolling my eyes.
- I want to hear you sing more.
- These are for you guys.
- You're amazing.
- Bye, bye.
- Yah, yah, yah~ What about my age?
- (Narration) From the haenyeo uncles of the ocean,
they've finally rescued their spoons.
- That was an impressive finish.
Do we have to ride the bus back out?

Our original objective is to have a meal at Ildo area.

Someone laughed really loudly.

- My supernatural power is fire.
My supernatural power is water, so we're not supposed to be together.
No water or fire can stop us.
- Do you make flames or something?
- Right now, we haven't eaten anything.
- Since we came to Earth without eating, we lost our supernatural powers.
Just in our music videos...
- When you ring the doorbell, show off your powers.
As soon as the doorbell rings, the person inside the house
will appear in front of us.
- (Narration) Will they benefit from their supernatural powers?
With supernatural powers in hand, they head to Ildo area.

Be someone who contributes to our society.
- This what leaders say.
Be someone who contributes to our society.
Where did you live up to high school?
- Incheon.
- If you moved from Incheon to Jeju Island,
it must be easier to adjust since it's the seaside.
- Is that so?
- Incheon feels like an island.
- When I lived in Yeouido.
- That's an island too.
- Because Yeouido is also an island.
- He made a small joke.
- A resident of Yeouido?
- No, an island.
Not resident.
- Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do. Islands.
- The 'do' from Gyeonggi-do and Yeouido... - They're different.
It's a different 'do.'
- Do you really think I'd known Yeouido as an island?
I live in Yeouido.
- Yeouido is an island.
- You're driving me crazy.
You're trying to be funny, right?
- Chanyeol, let's be entertaining.
Chanyeol, let's be entertaining.
- Goodbye.
- Are we now going to ring doorbells?
- We're exploring.
After we explore.
- After we explore.
- From 6 PM.
- We start ringing from 6 PM.
- Until 8 PM? - We explore the neighborhood.
- I think we've entered Ildo area.
- (Narration) Korea's representing tourist spot, Jeju Island.
But today, to have a meal, they have come to
Ildo area, where the Jeju residents are.
Legend says that the forefathers of Jeju's three family names, Ko, Yang, and Bu,
shot arrows and each lived in the capital where his arrow had fallen.
One of the areas that the arrows fell is Ildo area.
As the center of culture and tourism, it is called the Myeondong of Jeju.
What is this place like?
- This is an old house too.
The landscape is well done. How pretty.
- When I was little, I wanted to live in a house like this.
At a big house with a dog in the yard.
- On the second floor terrace.
- A garden party.
- Kyung-kyu, these are all houses here.
- The houses here are very different from those in Seogwipo area.
- How is it in Seogwipo?
- In the alleys of Seogwipo, there are many houses with basalt stone walls.
- The neighborhood is quiet.
- Yes, it's very quiet.
- Ildo area...
- Ildo area.
- We went to Sindang area, and there was a man who left Jeju Island
after high school and went up to Seoul to make a living.
For those who stayed, perhaps they stayed because there's something here.
There are many people who moved here too.
- The neighborhood is pretty.
The fact that there's an ocean right next to here makes it prettier.
In our hearts and our eyes... Since the right side is the ocean.
- It looks like people are back home early, don't you think
- Since we said we were going to film the show here...
- Is everyone waiting for us?
- They're waiting with the front door open.
- They've left the doors open.
- But they all have doorbells, Kyung-kyu.
- It seems like a variety of age groups live here.
- I don't think there are many people in their 20s.
- Those in their 20s mostly live in studios.
There are probably many people from other regions living here.
If I dare speak my thoughts...
- Oh my, can I shake your hands?
- Of course.
- Nice to meet you. Hello.
- Did you perm your hair?
- Oh, you permed your hair.
You permed it up nicely.
- Ma'am, how long have you lived here?
- For 50 years.
- Just in Ildo area?
- Ma'am, when will these persimmons ripen?
- I'll send you some when they're ripe.
- Kyung-kyu, then in two or three months time,
these persimmons will become yellow and delicious.
Lucky for you.
Is this your place?
- This is a great place to have ramen.
- That must be awesome.
Since you're by the sea, you can buy some seafood
to boil up some seafood ramen, which will be even better.
- Octopus ramen.
- Octopus.
- How lucky.
To have ramen up there.
- Did you make the table yourself?
- Yes, I did.
I'm a chef.
- Are you a chef?
What area do you cook for?
- Chinese cuisine.
- It's time for you to go to work soon.
How long have you lived here?
- 40 something years in this house since I was born.
I'm 42 years old, and this house was built when I was born.
Do you know the canola flower field?
From that time.
- All yellow.
- Was this a canola flower field?
- Yes, long ago.
- Thank you.
- I'm really hungry.
- I wish we could go in that house.
- I hope we meet someone like him today and become friends.
- I'm so hungry.
We didn't eat breakfast and lunch.
- Hello.
Do you think we'll be able to eat here?
Do you have a good feeling?
Are you a resident here?
- Yes.
- How many years did you live here?
- We're natives here.
- Oh, you're natives.
- Your signature is here. - Why?
Why did I give a signature?
Have a good day.
There's a reason these two are silent.
They're hungry and have no thoughts right now.
- I almost lost my mind.
- Right?
- I wish I could have one hot dog.
- Things that we normally didn't think were precious.
- (Narration) With an enlightenment brought by an empty stomach,
evening has come upon Ildo area of Jeju Island.
- How will we split teams? - Huh?
- We can do it like this.
We were together since the morning.
- Then it'll be Suho and me?
- Suho-Dong.
Chan-kyu.
- Chan-kyu.
- Suho-Dong.
- Chan-kyu.
- Yeah~.
- How do you feel?
- Good.
- Really?
- It's about reverting everything to our society.
We all live with that mindset.
You're really unique too.
- Are you living with a reverting mindset?
How do you say Let's Eat Dinner Together in Jeju dialect?
- Shall we eat?
Isn't it?
- Let's eat dinner together.
Stack our spoons.
- Let's eat dinner together.
Let's eat dinner together~. - Shall we eat?
- (Narration) Residents of Ildo area, let's eat dinner together.
- Please give us food. Please?
- Do you suppose we'll succeed right away?
- Please give us food. Please?
- Then we're totally lucky.
- Suho.
- Shall we try?
- Are we doing it right away?
- Of course we are.
Our leader.

Good, good.
- Go and explain.
- Hello.
Hello.
- Tell her, tell her.
- Hello.
I'm Suho of EXO.
Do you know me?
- Who's there?
- Do you not know me? - Yes.
- (Narration) Firing the growling charisma that hit the Korean music scene.
- Anyway, we're just singers.
We wanted to have a meal.
- Is this on TV? - Yes.
- I think I know what show it is.
- Let's eat dinner together.
- This isn't my house.
- Really?
Is this your parents' house?
So are you feeling a bit uncomfortable?
- I think it'll be difficult for us today.
- Alright. - Have a good night.
- Enjoy your dinner.
- Enjoy what dinner?
What did you talk about with her?
- This isn't the way to do it, right?
- You should've told her it's a show where we have dinner together.
Will you give us dinner?
- Let's eat dinner together.
- Is this not the way to do it?
- Rather than just asking for dinner,
say let's talk about this and that over dinner. - That's right.
We're not begging for food because we don't have money.
- This is a show that captures the dinner scene.
- It's a fail if we do it that way. - You shouldn't do it like that.
You shouldn't stutter but say with confidence.
Say, I'm so-and-so from EXO.
- Kyung-kyu, this is cute too.
- Those gourds.
Chanyeol, show them.
- Press it.
The sound is bright. - It sounds good.
- (Narration) Will Chanyeol be able to confidently talk?
- Nobody's home.
- It's a fail from the start.
Is that something to be happy about?
- I'm so nervous.
- Suho.
There's laundry too.
- Someone's home. The mother's home.
- She's coming out.
Suho, do a good job.
- Who is it?
- Hello.
I'm Suho from EXO.
- Yes.
- Do you know EXO?
- No.

We almost succeeded.
- Where did you go?
Bring out your supernatural powers or something.
Don't mumble out weird things.
You need to get your words out there.
- You're being hesitant.
- I'm a singer...
Do you know me?
If it was me, I wouldn't open the door.
- That's right. - I'm a singer.
Do you know me?
Will you give me a meal?
- It's exactly the same, Chanyeol.
- I'm a singer.
- Show your powers. Show your supernatural powers.

Fail.
- Fail.
It's a fail, Kyung-kyu.

- Why is no one home?
- (Narration) Everywhere he touches, he shows his supernatural powers of failing.
- He's not Chanyeol from EXO but Chanyeol the Fail.
- Let's go.
- Nobody's home.
I'm usually a lucky guy, but I keep getting empty houses.
- Why are you an empty house specialist?
- Nobody's home.
- Not even one person has come out.
- Now, it's Suho's turn again.
- Sure.
He's warmed up now.
- He's relaxed.
- I'm a singer.
I've never seen anyone reveal his occupation
with so little confidence like him.
- I'm Suho of EXO.
I... I'm a singer.
We're doing an eating show called Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Let's eat dinner together.
- Let's go.
- This house is empty too.
There are so many empty houses.
- Chanyeol.
At least he gets to say something.
You haven't been able to say anything.
- I keep running into empty houses.
Huh?
This is it.
- I feel something.
This isn't an empty house.
- What's wrong with all the doorbells?
- Did someone pull them off with supernatural powers?
Chanyeol, when it's your turn, there are no doorbells.
- Kyung-kyu, try knocking.
Here like this.
Chanyeol, call out sir.
- Sir.
- Sir, I'm a singer.
Sir, are you home?
I'm sorry. - Look over there.
- I'm sorry. - Wow.
- I'm sorry.
- Suho.
- Their family name is Kang too.
- Good, good.
As long as they didn't eat.
- Hello.
I'm Suho from EXO.
I'm Suho from EXO, a singer.
Do you know me?
- EXO?
- EXO.
- Did someone come out?
- Do you know the show called Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Yes.
- It's a show called Let's Eat Dinner Together. I'm EXO's leader, Suho.
You know me, right?
You know Growl, right?
- I saw you a lot on TV.
What should I do?
- So for this show,
we came to Jeju Island.
We came here because we wanted to have dinner
with the residents of Jeju Island.
Your house happened to be so pretty and had lettuce and such,
and so we wanted to have dinner with you. Did you have dinner?
- We didn't eat yet.
- Then, ma'am.
If you didn't eat yet, can we go inside your house,
and whether you have side dishes or not,
we can have rice in cold water with kimchi. - That's right.
Even ramen.
- I need to cook.
- Ma'am, when were you planning on having dinner today?
- I'm getting ready right now.
- Will you become our family today?
- My husband is in the shower right now.
- Would you like to talk with him?
- Please wait a minute.
- He's taking a shower.
- I saw that the door was open, so I thought there'd be a possibility.
- In my opinion, say goodbye in advance.
- I'm a singer.
I'm a singer.
- I think you'll end up in the convenience store.
- He's even leaving a curse.
- Did anyone come out for you?
- No, I wasn't able to say anything.
- You didn't even press the doorbell once.
- There were no doorbells.
- What should I do about the doorbells?
- She's coming out.
- Ma'am!
- (Narration) Will Suho's supernatural powers with water
have moved her heart?
- Come in. - Thank you, ma'am.
- Are you going in?
- Chanyeol.
- Good luck.
Call me.
- Chanyeol, good luck. Thank you.
Good luck, Kyung-kyu.
See you next week.
- (Narration) Chanyeol the Fail, having lost to water, fires up his motivation.
- Ma'am, it must have been so sudden.
- I'm so nervous right now.
- Ma'am, you and I are kinsfolk, right?
- Kang...
- We call every Kang's our kinsfolk.
Right?
- (Narration) I'm a singer.
Welcome to the dinner table of Jeju.
- Ma'am, take your time to change your clothes.
- Suho, your luck is no joke.
Suho, you're the guardian of our show.
- Did they purposely not make a front gate?
There's no sliding doors either.
I should ask later.
- Ma'am, did you purposely not make a front gate?
- We took it down for parking.
- To park your car?
- They got rid of the wall
to use that area for parking instead.
- I can hear your voice from far away.
- Sir, I'm nervous because we haven't met yet.
Did we surprise you during your shower?
Ta-da.
What should I say?
- I'm in my shorts.
- That's great. Nice to meet you, sir.
- I'm Kang Ho-dong.
- Hello, I'm EXO's leader, Suho.
- EXO. Not only are they popular in Korea but all of Asia
and all throughout the world. He's the leader of that group.
His name is Suho.
Sir, then when did you build this house?
- We moved here when I left my job of 25 years.
- Which company did you work for?
- KT.
- Telecommunication company.
- After working there, I received severance pay.
My wife's dream was to have a house
with a vegetable garden. - I really like that.
- She wanted to have a vegetable garden.
Since that was my wife's wish, of course I should grant it.
- So how long has it been?
We bought this house two years ago.
- I want to live in a house like this too.
- We're extending the second floor because my son is about to get married.
- So that your son can use the top floor when he gets married?
- From your family picture, do you have one son and one daughter?
- My daughter is married.
- A daughter and a son.
- She's my oldest daughter.
Your wife's hometown is...
- Jeju Island.
- Jeju Island. How about you, sir?
- I'm from Jeju Island too.
- Where in Jeju Island?
- I'm from Jeju City, and my wife is from Aeweol, which is 20-25 minutes from here.
- Sir, but you don't use any Jeju dialect.
- I know.
I didn't notice.
- It's as if he just came from Seoul.
- When I talk with Jeju residents,
I use the Jeju dialect a lot, but not when I talk with people from the peninsula.
Also, I normally used the standard dialect when working.
- (Narration) Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the mother from Aeweol of Jeju Island
is getting ready to unleash her cooking skills.
The affectionate sounds of chopping fill the kitchen,
and the delicious smell of soybean paste
and the grilling sound of fresh water eel fills the entire house.
- Ma'am.
- Yes.
- Is there anything Suho and I can help with?
- It's alright.
I'm comfortable cooking alone.
- Still, we'll take a look.
Did you buy all these snacks for your granddaughter?
- For our granddaughter. - And for us too.
- Does your husband like snacks?
- He needs to have some every day.
- Your husband? - Yes.
- Do you like snacks?
- I do.
- What's this?
- It's eel. Fresh water eel.
- We were going to have it with raspberry wine.
- With the eel today.
And we came on such a day?
- We bought it the day before yesterday and hadn't eaten it.
- You're a guardian.
- I really wanted to have eel.
- Did you want to eat eel?
- If you asked me just before, I would've answered 100%.
Can I flip this over?
Can I flip this over now?
- To have this eel over raspberry wine.
Is it okay for you to have raspberry wine this evening?
- Yes?
Just one drink.
- Is it okay for you to drink?
- I suppose one drink will be alright. - Just one drink.
- This will melt our day's worth of exhaustion.
- This is great.
- Ma'am, what kind of greens is this?
- It's cabbage. I want to make you some cold soup with ice.
- Can you make cold soup with cabbage? - Yes, you can.
In Jeju Island, we make it like that.
- With soybean paste. - Yes.
- Cold cabbage soup.
Should I bring some lettuce for the eel?
- No, please pick some peppers.
- What a windfall.
Sir, can you give us a house tour?
From the vegetable garden.
Is the ocean to the left?
- Yes, that's the ocean.
- The ocean.
- Then can you see the ocean from the second floor?
- You can see it far off.
- When you wake up, the vegetables have grown, and there are even flowers at times.
I like succulents, so I tend to them.
- Succu.. what?
- Succulents.
Tropical plants.
- I didn't know.
Do you call them succu... what?
- Succulents.
- This isn't a dialect. Succulents.
- We greatly lack in general knowledge. Please understand.
- (Narration) With the vegetable garden of her dreams and the succulents,
the couple has started a new life together here.
- Sir, did you plant this too?
- This grew naturally.
- By itself? - Yes.
- A pine tree from the bare ground?
This is a pine tree.
- I think the seed landed here.
- After you started tending the vegetable garden, did this start growing by itself?
- I think it started to grow around that time.
- That's quite unusual.
- There's a place called Sarabong 1 km from here.
There are many pine trees there.
I think it flew over from there.
- These are peppers.
- Peppers.
- How about that, sir?
- Next to that are the pumpkins, and behind that are the figs.
- Figs? - Fig tree.
- Figs are so good.
Sir, your wife told us to pick some peppers.
- You can just pick these. - These?
- A bigger one.
This is the first time we're picking these peppers.
The first of this year.
- What an honor.
Sir, what should we do about today?
Fresh water eels and even raspberry wine.
- I think we made that wine two years ago.
- It's not store-bought?
- My wife made it herself.
- Genuine?
- Yes.
- Oh no.
- These are all condiments.
Sir, can I open this?
- We're fermenting Japanese apricots.
- The smell is no joke.
Suho, the raspberry wine isn't from the convenience store
but a genuine one.
- What we made ourselves.
- With fresh water eel.
Can you go straight into the room here?
- You can go in that way too.
- And you can go in this way too.
Who uses this room?
This room?
- My wife and I.
- Sir, why aren't you using the same bed
and have two separate beds?
Like this.
You should use one bed.
- My wife likes it that way.
- How long have you been married?
- 34 years now.
- How long have you been using two beds?
- About ten years?
- Shouldn't a husband and wife use one bed?
- But they're placed right next to each other.
When needed...
- (Narration) While Suho-Dong are enjoying the house tour,
she has finished Jeju's summer delicacy, cold cabbage soup with soybean paste.
With a deliciously grilled eel
and various side dishes, she diligently prepares dinner.
- Salted hairtail guts.
This has been aging for ten years old.
- (Narration) The raspberry wine of ten years wine will add to the flavor of today's meal.
- Come in.
Grandpa went upstairs.
- Who is it?
What?
There are many shoes.
- We have a guest.
My granddaughter is here.
- Peekaboo.
Peekaboo.
- A strange man.
- Princess, princess.
- Grandma.
- Mommy.
- Oh, is it Grandma instead of Mommy?
- Grandma.
What's your name?
- Ko Seo-yeon.
- Seo-yeon.
- You're so pretty.
- Are you Seo-yeon's mother?
Seo-yeon, your mom.
Oh, how nice.
How nice.
Wow, this is it.
What should I do?
This is great.
Ma'am, what's this meat?
Is this meat?
- It's beef.
- This is really tremendous.
Super heavy class.
This is our dinner table in Ildo area.
- (Narration) This meal is that of a couple with open hearts like their front door.
It's a nutritious meal full of delicacies to treat Suho-Dong's minds and bodies.
- Sir, thank you for the food.
We'll shamelessly eat as if we're at home.
- Thank you for the food.
- I don't know if they'll suit your tastes.
I cooked as fast as I could.
- (Narration) Suho-Dong are sucked in like magnets into
the cold cabbage soup made in the Jeju style.
The refreshing taste of Jeju digs deep into their hearts.
- Sir, the cold cabbage soup with soybean paste is amazing.
- This is so good.
- Does it suit your tastes?
- This is so good.
- (Narration) Suho, who was craving eel, eats eel wraps one after the other.
Having met an eel in Jeju, Suho has earned lettuce wrapping skills.
- This brings back any appetite.
- (Narration) It's a waste of breath to say that Ho-dong is in his elements.
- This is the pride of Jeju Island, salted hairtail guts.
Sir, is it better to wrap this in lettuce
or to eat it as is?
- (Narration) The savory salted hairtail guts don't even require lettuce wraps.
- I thought this would taste fishy, but it's very tasty.
It brings back any appetite.
Your appetite comes to life.
- (Narration) Also, the highlight of her cooking, the raspberry wine of ten years.
- When raspberry wine meets with the fresh water eel...
It doesn't taste like alcohol.
- I made this out with pure raspberry extract.
- (Narration) The taste of the raspberry wine condensed with the mother's deep sincerity.
The wine goes in and in.
- Huh?
Is it leaking?
Where did the raspberry wine go?
- I drank it all.
- (Narration) While Suho-Dong is immersed into the taste of Jeju,
Chanyeol the Fail and his team has not escaped the cursed finger.
- Did you press it?
- Yes.
- But why isn't anyone home?
How strange.
- Is this a cursed finger?
- There's no need to rush.
- Ildo area is large.
- Yes.
- It's large.
Ildo area is large.
It's an empty house because they moved out.
I don't hear anything.
Is no one coming out?
Is no one home?
How persevering.
This is the worst fail ever.
There's no one home, and we can't even ring the bell.
- How strange.
- Chanyeol.
- This isn't working either.
- It's not making a sound.
Excuse me.
Sir.
Say something.
- Hello.
I'm a singer, Chanyeol from EXO.
We're from a show called Let's Eat Dinner Together. Do you know me?
Do you know EXO?
- We're not at a situation to do that. We're sick.
- Alright. - We're sorry.
- No problem. Thank you.
- Let's try.
- Good luck!
- Hello.

- What are you here for?
- We're doing a show called Let's Eat Dinner Together.
We're walking around places, and we wanted to visit your house

Did you have dinner?
- Yes, we did.
- Did you? Alright.
Thank you.
- Is it over?
- They ate.
- Why do you talk so fast?
- Because I'm a rapper.
- That's right.
Is it because you're a rapper?
We can't fail.
- Who is it?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- Excuse me. I'm a singer, Chanyeol from EXO. Do you know me?
Hello.
- Who is it?
- I'm Chanyeol from EXO.
Please wait.
- Hello.
Hello.
- Hello!
- Taking pictures is not what's important now.
There's something more important than that.
- Yes, I know.
- Do you? Then are you saying let's take a picture and go inside to do this?
- But we already ate.
I know your show. I'm sorry. - It's alright.
- You should've come earlier.
- I'll take the picture for you.
One, two, three. EXO.
- My friend is a huge fan.
Thank you. - Thank you. - Goodbye.
- We still have time.
- Did you eat? - Yes.
- Alright.
Thank you.
This is so different from what I thought.

Your husband and everyone?
Do something.
- Who is it?
- Hello.
I'm a singer, Chanyeol from EXO.

If you didn't have dinner yet...
- We already ate.
- Yes, thank you.
- Did she hang up?
Do something.
You said you have supernatural powers.
Do something.
Is it over?
How can your conversation be so short?
- No, I'm so, so scared.
- Scared about what?
This is not the time for you to laugh.
How stifling.
Make some conversation.
- Oh, my mentality.
My mentality.
We're really going around the whole area.
- Hello.
- Oh, sir.
Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hello.
Nice to meet you. - Yes.
We came from Seoul.
- Yes, I know. - Yes.
Did you eat?
- Yes, we did.
- Did you eat? - Yes.
- Then we can't.
- If you had come earlier...
- I know.
- We're sorry. - No problem.
You ate early.
Go inside.
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
- Nice to meet you.
He is an idol singer from Seoul.
Is this your house? - Yes.
- Are you by yourself?
- No. My husband is at home too.
- Is he at home with you? - Yes.
- Did you eat?
- I didn't eat.
- She didn't eat yet.
Then will you eat with us...?
- We didn't clean up the house.
It's messy, so no.
- It doesn't matter, ma'am. - It's dirty.
- Should I clean the house for you?
- No, no.
- Are you going, ma'am?
- Yes, come in. - What?
- Come in.
- Really? - Yes.
- Really? - Thank you.
- Ask your husband. - It's alright.
I'll tell him to put his clothes on.
He's in his panties.
- Yes, please ask him once.
- Come inside.
- Are you close with her?
- She recommended this house to us.
- We just ate. - Yes.
Everyone knows each other. The dog is very cute too.
He's trying to bite.
- Shake.
He shook.
- Did we succeed?
I don't know what's happening.
- Hello.
Hello, sir.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Can we have dinner with you?
- Oh, come in.
- Really?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- Come in.
- Go in.
- Thank you.
- Excuse us.
- We'll have a good meal.
- Come in.
- Can our cameras come in?
- Come in.
- (Narration) A belated but warm dinner table
of Jeju welcomes Chanyeol the Fail.
- Excuse us.
Hello.
The house is very...
- Excuse us.
- Thank you, sir.
- Oh my...
- I'm Chanyeol.
- Introduce yourself to him.
- I'm Chanyeol.
- Chanyeol.
- I'm Chanyeol.
- Park Chanyeol.
- And at a company called SM Entertainment,
I'm part of a team called EXO.
-the idol group, EXO.
I should show him your stuff.
- Me? - You guys.
Sir, these guys sang this song. - What is it?
- I'll show you.
It's called Growl.
Sir, look at this.
- When I look at this, I forget I'm tired. - What?
- My exhaustion goes away.
- His exhaustion goes away.
- If I was younger, I'd attempt to take over.
You should live an awesome life like this at least once.
- Right, they say you should live an awesome life like this at least once.
- This is me.
- Sir, this is him.
- The one behind him.
Why are you in the back?
- I wasn't a good dancer at that time.
Now, I'm in the front row.
- Isn't he cool?
How long did you live here?
- About 50 years.
I'm a native of Jeju Island.
My family name is Bu of Jeju Island, one of Ko-yang-Bu.
- I saw the name plate in front, and your family name was Bu.
So in Jeju Island, there are Ko, then Bu and Yang.
When I ask where their hometown is, most of the Yang's say Jeju Island.
So, Go Doo-shim.
Jeju Island.
What did you do when you were younger?
- I drove the bus and then a taxi.
Now I'm taking care of my grandchildren.
- Sir, when your wife is preparing a meal in the kitchen,
you don't help out much, right?
- I was the dishes.
Look at this. My hands are clean.
It's because I wash them so much.
- His hands are really clean.
- I'm not lying.
I wash them all.
- Do you take care of all the dishes?
- That's something men should do.
If they're over 70.
The times are different.
When men get back from work, they should do it.
That's something we should do.
- How many times do you wash the dishes during the day?
- About three or four times.
- Ma'am, your husband says he washes the dishes three times a day.
- That's right. He cleans the house too.
- Everything? - Yes.
- Long ago, I OOO my wife,
so I should render her a service. - What?
- Long ago, I OOO her.
- OOO? What does that mean?
- Oh, you don't know that word.
- They won't understand if you say it that way.
- It must be a dialect.
To distress.
That means to distress, right?
- Not distress.
- I distressed her so much.
It means to distress someone a lot, right?
Since you distressed her so much, now you're making it up for it.
- That's right.
- I need to make up for that.
- With what did you distress her with?
Alcohol or...
- Well, when you're young...
- Sir, you are very hearty.
Did you meet through a matchmaking service?
- If I start talking about long ago... Whew...
Think about it.
Do you think I had the skills to meet my wife?
Long ago, I...
- Sir, are you speaking Chinese?
- Long ago, I drove the sibal taxi.
- Sibal taxi.
- As I drove the sibal taxi, I got to know all the neighbors,
and how I coincidentally got to know my wife was that
when you change the oil and work on the springs and such,
my shirt would get dirty.
Long ago, clothes were scarce.
There's no one to wash my clothes.
I left my clothes to the side, and somebody washed them for me. At that time, I was
living with my aunt, so I thought it was strange.
It was strange my clothes were washed and clean when I didn't wash them myself.
I asked my aunt.
What is going on with my clothes?
My wife was working at a dressmaking shop.
A dressmaking shop.
- Dressmaking shop.
Do you know what that is? Where they made women's clothes.
The tailor shop is for men's clothes. The dressmaking shop was for women.
- My aunt said that someone from the dressmaking shop washed my clothes.
Thank you.
And she kept appearing.
- Your wife fell in love with you,
so she kept washing your clothes for you.
- What a great liar.
What a great liar.
- But it's true you washed his clothes.
Right?
- Wash what?
- I kept getting new clothes. Even if I didn't go to the laundromat, she'd wash them
and mend them and such, so I grew fond of her.
- You grew fond of her, and when you tasted her kimchi stew...
- It was amazing.
- What a good liar. - Kimchi stew is love.
- Just looking, her cooking skills are... - I'm not lying.
The whole town knows about this.
- There are no side dishes.
- (Narration) From the fridge of the good cook,
the side dishes that she claims aren't there keep coming out.
From the refreshing cabbage kimchi to the matured young radish kimchi.
There are various types of kimchi.
The side dishes look delicious.
The Jeju sea bream, beef, and even seaweed soup with a rich beef broth.
With cooking skills well-known all over the town,
she finishes a delicious, Jeju-style meal.
- You just need to set up the table for the four of us.
Just you and your husband...
- No, we should all eat together.
- They already ate.
- Everyone should eat. - No, no.
- Ma'am, we already ate.
- Just the four of us will eat.
Ma'am, this is...
- Sea breams.
- What drink? Soju?
Or beer?
- No, no.
- We have alcohol. A lot of them.
- Let's try the Jeju soju, sir.
Beer makes you full, so let's have a shot of Jeju soju each.
- The white one?
- The white one's strong.
The rule is that only you, your husband, and the two of us eat together.
I'll take a picture.
- One, two, there.
- (Narration) This meal is that of a great cook in Ildo area of Jeju, who has
cooked an abundant meal full of Jeju's specialties.
- Now, ready.
- Action.
- Start eating.
- Enjoy your food.
Hey.
Honey. - That's the first time I've heard that.
- Try the food.
- You worked hard.
- Don't talk to us. Talk to your wife.
- She worked hard...
- Not to us. To her.
- Since you worked so hard, I don't have any more to say.
I gave you much trouble.
- Cut. Wait.
Sir, just have a daily conversation that you'd normally have.
Don't suddenly say she's suffered so much and such in front of the camera.
One more time.
- Ready, action.
- Go ahead and eat.
Try the food.
Is the seaweed soup good or not.
- Oh, whether I eat it or not.
Because you make such various food,
do you know how healthy I was up until now?
The best.
I don't express it well enough.
Deep in my heart, I'm very thankful.
Really. - Yes.
- Even if we have lived a lifetime together, we still don't know a lot about each other,
but deep in my heart... Since you cook for me like this,
I'm 72 years old now, but who'd think I'm that age?
My heart goes nowhere else.
- Yes, thank you.
For XXX.
- Cut.
I don't know what you're saying.
What's that XXX in the end?
- Thank you for XXX.
Thank you for saying that.
Thank you for being good to me.
- Thank you for being good to me.
Thank you for saying that.
- I thought they meant thank you that Kyung-kyu has come.
Ma'am, please give us an explanation.
- Alright.
This is stir-fried anchovies. This is seasoned mitra squid.
- Mitra squid.
- Seasoned mitra squid of Jeju Island.
- These are caught only in Jeju. - That's right.
- They're summer delicacies.
- This is beef braised in soy sauce.
- Beef braised in soy sauce.
- This is young sea bream.
Jeju sea bream.
- What's this?
- That's a bit over-fermented.
Young radish kimchi.
- She's best known for that.
- I'll cut them with scissors.
- They're crunchy. - The young radish kimchi.
- Did you make it yourself?
- I made this at home.
We don't eat store-bought food.
- You don't eat store-bought food?
- We don't eat store-bought food.
- You have homemade food.
- Should I heat up some scorched mackerels?
- No, ma'am.
We have sea breams here.
- No, this one.
Scorched mackerels.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
- Please help yourselves.
- (Narration) Kyung-kyu digs into the grilled Jeju sea bream first.
- It's good.
It's good.
- (Narration) He starts to praise the homemade young radish kimchi.
- Ma'am, your food is really...
- Take some home.
- Take some home?
When I go?
- It's so good.
- Right?
- Yes, it's so good.
- (Narration) Chanyeol is immersed into the taste of Jeju
and expressing the flavors with his whole face.
- This seaweed soup is rich.
- The seaweed soup is really good.
- Beef broth.
Made with Korean beef.
- Korean beef.
- With mushrooms too.
Aren't these shiitake?
- Yes, the ones that grow in Jeju.
- Try the braised mackerel.
This isn't your ordinary braised mackerel.
- Thank you.
- Try it with the broth.
This is something you can't have on the peninsula.
- Jeju mackerel.
- Come here. I'll give you some broth.
- It's blue.
- Sir, do you eat like this every day? - Yes.
- That's why you're healthy.
- When they're fresh.
- But like this...
- Pour me another shot.
- Really?
- What a joyful day today.
This is how we should live life.
- Alright.
- Bravo.
To all the people watching this show, let's live in peace like this.
- I didn't think I'd eat fresh water eel and raspberry wine in Jeju Island.
- On days that my wife rests, this is our daily life.
We drink together and talk with each other.
- What do you do?
- I work at the customer satisfaction center at a supermarket.
- If you look at the calendar, we've circled the 21st.
That's when she rests.
- Oh, it's the 21st today.
- She worked yesterday and will work tomorrow too.
- At this time?
Do you work during these hours too?
If it weren't today, we wouldn't have met you. - No.
What a coincidence.
- We Suho-Dong have eating luck.
How about when your wife goes to work or works late?
- Then I eat alone.
- Do you open the fridge yourself and bring out the side dishes?
- If my wife makes some, I bring out two or three side dishes to eat
and watch baseball.
- Who are you rooting for?
- Nexen.
I'm a hardcore fan.
- Really?
- Nowadays, I live to watch Lee Jeong-hoo.
The youngest.
- Is he good?
- He's really good right now.
As a fan and specialist, how is he compared to his father?
- He's much better than his father.
- The son? - Yes.
- How disappointing. His father is my friend.
- I can't help it.
I bet Jong-beom would be happy to hear that.
That his son is better.
- Right.
- When you're a parent, you like hearing compliments about your child.
- That's right, sir. - You have a long way to go.
That's right.
Lee Jong-beom would be happy to hear that. - Right.
- It seems like he really likes him.
- Yes.
He says, oh my, our youngest came out.
- Sir, since I'm friends with Lee Jong-beom,
I'll give him a call. - Tell him I'm a fan of his son.
- You know the uniform that Lee Jeong-hoo actually wears?
I'll send it to your home.
- This needs to air on TV.
- Then how great would you feel, sir?
- I'll wear it to sleep too.
Let's have a drink.
- Sir, congratulations on your uniform.
- Thank you.
- The person we're talking about isn't even thinking about this.
Since you're the guest, ask about their love story.
- Our love story?
- Of course, you use separate beds...
- Did you even find that out?
- Ma'am, where did you first meet your husband?
- In the bus.
- The bus? - The bus.
- The Jeju intercity bus.
- What kind of fateful story is this, sir?
Where were you each going?
- I had graduated from high school, I was going home from work from
Aeweol to Jeju City, and my husband...
- I was serving in the military and was on vacation, and when I got on the bus,
my wife was sitting alone.
I went in confidently to ask her out.
- But it was a split second.
- A split second.
- In a split second.
- She was pretty at a glance.
- There were empty seats, yet you sat next to her.
- Then what did you say as soon as you sat down?
- Let's go out.
- Really?
- Really.
- You had just met her. - Yeah.
- So what did you say?
- At first, I played hard to get.
- I got her number.
- He kept his seat.
- I sat down and gave her a gum and got her number.
My work number.
- Work number.
- After that, he kept coming to my office when he was out for vacation.
- I was 22 years old. - He felt something.
- How about your wife? - 21 years old?
- One year apart.
But ma'am... It may sound easy.
Suho, this isn't easy. - That's right.
While he was on vacation...
- When's your wedding anniversary?
One, two, three.
- December 24th. - December 24th.
- How romantic.
- Christmas Eve.
- We purposely did that so we won't forget all our lives.
- You can't forget it.
- It's an unforgettable, meaningful day.
- It's great.
- It was December 24 of 1984, and it had snowed a lot that year.
The whole world was white.
- (Narration) In the blooming age of 21,
as if by fate, she met a soldier on the bus.
Three years later, in Jeju Island covered with the snow of blessings,
the two youths promised a lifetime together.
They still remember those romantic days even to this day.
- Sir, you need to answer fast.
While we're at it, we'll make this into an event. The location of your first kiss.
One, two, three.
- I don't know.
I don't remember.
- Sir, ma'am. Your last kiss.
When was it?
One, two, three.
- I don't know. - I don't remember.
- I'm sorry.
- You just got cussed at, Ho-dong.
- I haven't been cussed at in a long time.
How refreshing.
How tastefully done.
Even as I was asking, my brain told me not to ask.
My mouth should've blocked it from coming out.
- (Narration) We know, your mouth is the problem.
- How long have you been married?
- For 49 years.
- Since you were married? - Yes.
- Why did you do his laundry?
- I didn't.
- Why would I say that otherwise?
- I didn't do the laundry.
- I've never washed my clothes, yet they were always clean.
- Why would I do his laundry?
I was a young girl back then. Why would I do his laundry?
I did his laundry after we were engaged.
How can I do laundry for another man?
- There was a sign before.
- It's because he doesn't know.
We married through a matchmaker.
- Yeah right.
- When you were young, I heard he distressed you a lot.
What did he say?
- Many women chased after him.
- My goodness.
- Women.
- To tell you the truth...
- There were probably truckloads of women.
- Truckloads?
Is that true, sir?
- It's true.
- He's suddenly silent.
- Tell them the truth.
- I was sort of like that.
Things were like that long ago.
- You can't say anything about that.
- He can't. - Now, I need to be more patient.
- (Narration) The father who had distressed his wife in his younger years
has become the king of dish-washing today.
- On this show, there's a corner called I Praise You, I'm Upset.
- Ma'am, compliment your husband.
- The trash and food waste and such...
Thank you for taking them out so well.
- Great.
- Do you see that guideline for the trash?
I've never emptied the trash once.
- Your husband does it all? - He does.
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Is there anything upsetting?
- I don't have any.
- Oh my.
Why? Why?
- There's nothing to be upset about.
- Oh my.
Chanyeol, what do you think?
- I'm sure she had some before.
But it's great to see that they're loving each other so much these days.
My heart feels very warm.
- There's nothing I'm upset about.
I should've brought out the ginseng liquor.
- No, no.
- I forgot.
- No, no.
- I'll give you a shot each.
Give me five minutes.
- Have a shot each before you go.
- No, no.
- No. You need to have a shot before you go.
- We were going to leave this untouched.
Give them a little each.
- A representative.
Someone come out as a representative.
- Cheers.
- Cheers. Be healthy.
How do you say 'For Jeju Island' in Jeju dialect?
- Enjoy.
It's slightly bitter and good.
Enjoy.
- (Narration) Enjoy.
Evening at Jeju Island darkens with the toast.
- Sir, what's your wish for this year?
- My wish?
- Yes, and what dreams do you have, ma'am?
- I don't have any big wishes.
I just want our family to continue to be healthy and live happily as we are now.
- To stay healthy and live in peace.
- That's what we wish for. - That's right.
- That's our wish.
- I wish Nexen will win.
- In a few days, Lee Jeong-hoo's uniform will come.
It's exactly five words.
Your wish.
Just as it is now.
- That's right.
Just as it is now.
- I'll call Kang Ho-dong.
- Hello.
- Hello!
- Sir, ask them if they succeeded or failed.
- Did you go inside a home?
- Us?
- Yes.
- We'll show you what we ate.
- Suho. - What?
- Did you eat something good?
- Raspberry wine and fresh water eel.
- We have a party going with sea bream and mackerels.
- Seo-yeon, give us a wink.
Oh my, a wink.
Wink one more time.
- How cute.
Ho-dong, do you see the young radish kimchi? - Yes?
She said she'll pack us some of this young radish kimchi when we leave.
- Honey, pack them something too.
- Kyung-kyu, our special episode with EXO in Jeju Island is a huge success.
- It's a domestic flight today.
- It's written in Japanese.
- Yokohama...
- Today is a global episode, Kyung-kyu.
- Find a countryman.
- And have dinner together. - That's right.
- Kyung-kyu, where do we go?
Where do we go?
Kyung-kyu, I'm scared.
Wow, there are so many people.
How can we do this by ourselves without any guests?
Aren't we supposed to go that way?
Where do we have to go?
We haven't been able to get out of here for an hour.
- I think this is the hardest I've seen Kyung-kyu work.
Do you think we'll succeed today?
- Today?
- There are many who don't like it at all.
- I think there'll be a 20~30% chance.
- Will we succeed?
- I don't think so.
- Why?
- If you succeed today, Let's Eat Dinner Together is amazing.
- Amazing?
I'm nervous, Kyung-kyu.
- Excuse us.
- I'm so nervous.
- They're not Korean.
Excuse us, excuse us.
I wish a Korean will appear.
I miss the 'so what?'
This is gloomy.
- Where should we take the picture, sir?
Look over there. - Look over there.
- Kimchi.
- Ildo area.
- (Narration) With warm greetings from Jeju Island,
the 59th and 60th houses are born.
And a few days later. - Hello.
My grandma went to Germany, so we came out instead.
Thank you for giving great memories to our grandma and grandpa.
Let's Eat Dinner Together and Lee Kyung-kyu, good luck!
- Good luck!
- Thank you for making great memories.
Thank you so much for sending us the picture and Lee Jeong-hoo's uniform.
Let's Eat Dinner Together, good luck!
Lee Jeong-hoo, good luck!
- Did you wash dishes a lot?
- Yes, I have.
I mostly clean up what we eat at our lodging.
If you do this, I'll rinse them off.
- You'll rinse them in water.
- Do you often do the dishes?
- I often do the dishes. - Why?
- At home and at our lodging.
- Really? - Yes, after we eat.
- Oh, at your lodging.
- Yes. I don't like seeing things cluttered.
- Among your members? - Yes.
- Having met our good luck charm, Suho,
we've been able to show the best of Jeju Island's generous hearts today.
Were you happy today?
- Yes, I enjoyed it so much.
- Really? - Really.
- For real?
- For real.
- My heart ached. It reminded me of my grandma. - Right.
When you come to Jeju Island, you won't forget this place.
- I don't think I will.
- (Narration) Like the box of young radish kimchi packed with the mother's heart,
will you open your doors wide and have dinner with us?
