(It's a perfect day in July to meet people.)
Hi, it's good to see you.
Hyun Min, we haven't seen you for a long time.
- Yes, it's been a while. - It's been a while.
The color of your hair changes everyday.
- People nag at me for it. - Why?
- Why? - They say it's weird.
- Really? - Yes.
Hye Jin saw me as she walked in...
- and looked surprised. - I thought it was Park Soo Hong.
Come on, they're totally different.
(Na Rae looks different.)
Doesn't it seem like she's lost it?
- Why? - She's trying to look young.
My hair used to be this color.
- You let your bangs down. - Oh, my bangs.
- You look much younger. - That is the same style...
as Jung Yu Mi's in "Discovery of Love".
She had the same hairstyle. It looks just like hers.
Does that mean I can discover love now?
Will I be able to start dating?
Your hair is the color bronze.
- As in gold, silver, and bronze. - It looks like poop?
No, as in gold, silver, and bronze.
Oh, bronze.
- Please watch your pronunciation. - Okay.
(My hair is the color bronze.)
(Welcome to Si Eon School.)
- Si Eon School? - Si Eon School.
- Do you teach something, Si Eon? - Yes, that's right.
(We can hear him doing the dishes.)
You're doing the dishes?
I'm getting ready to greet my guest.
- You've changed. - The student is very clean.
- He's even washing the dishcloth. - Of course.
(Si Eon has changed.)
(Whom is he cleaning for?)
(He lays out a table.)
Why are you taking out your bamboo sword, to hit the student?
The rod is known to be good medicine.
(The rod is known to be good medicine.)
Let's check the test paper.
Test?
(This is when Si Eon was known as the viper assistant instructor.)
- He looks like a tutor. - Is it an acting class?
(He starts making the test.)
You didn't get the spelling wrong.
I know that much.
(I hope that's right.)
(Dialect)
You're teaching a dialect.
I see.
Number one, "giga".
- That's a hard one. - "Giga".
I'm telling you to crawl on the floor!
(He will have studied beforehand, right?)
"Anboiana".
This one is easy.
Today, I have an acting class...
at Si Eon School on the dialect of Busan.
This is the first time the student is visiting my place,
so it'll take some time showing him around.
Since I have a big house, I'll show him around for two hours...
and have him take the test I prepared.
The first class will be a trial test.
The second class...
offers a great chance for him to speak with a native over the phone.
- That's what I've prepared. - It's a tight curriculum.
I also have watermelon among the many things I've prepared for him.
(However, the student doesn't show up until late at night.)
Hurry up and come.
He's late for class.
I should play games.
(I'll play games.)
I'll play Dhalsim, the strongest character.
Do you like Dhalsim?
- You're right. - I like the character.
He always says he feels uncomfortable around Hye Jin,
but is actually the sweetest toward her.
(He wins the game as Dhalsim.)
He's strong.
Han Hye Jin is strong.
Every time I see Dhalsim, I notice they are "yeongpan".
Yeongpan?
(He adds another question right away.)
- What does that mean? - Han Hye Jin and...
Dhalsim are this.
(Laughing)
That's a good question.
I should call my student.
(He gets tired of waiting and calls the student.)
- Si Eon. - Where are you?
I'm on my way.
- You're on your way here? - I think I know that voice.
I think I know it too. Is it Beom Hun?
I'll be waiting.
- Okay, I'll be there soon. - Okay.
I'm scared of my student.
- Why? - He debuted first, didn't he?
- He debuted much earlier than I. - Really?
Si Eon looks very nervous.
- Really? - Yes.
- Okay, I'll be there soon. - Okay.
(He hangs up the phone with the scary student.)
I think he's running late since I'm always smiling.
(Do you want a taste of the viper?)
You're acting tough.
(Come on.)
(Teacher Si Eon is upset.)
I'll be hard on him during class.
(He starts playing games hard.)
- He's here. - Coming!
(He overreacts.)
He hasn't even come in and I'm already nervous.
Since he has seniority.
(Who is the student that made Si Eon so nervous?)
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi, what's this?
- It's for you. - It's Namkoong Min.
Yes, it is.
(He is known for his great acting in "Chief Kim".)
(Favorable reviews for outstanding acting in "Chief Kim")
(He's gone straight from supporting actor to lead role)
He's so scary.
Don't look at me like that.
(He was merciless toward Si Eon.)
(Namkoong Min, the outstanding actor, is at Si Eon School.)
(He glances over.)
- Let's sit here. - Okay.
- I'll have a seat. - Put your things down.
- This is for you. - My goodness.
- I got this... - What's this?
After hearing you didn't know countries very well.
(I heard you don't know countries very well.)
He's funny.
This is for children.
You can learn easily with it.
This is white wine.
- Have it chilled in the summer. - He knows a lot about wine.
- That's sweet of him. - Don't mention it.
Are the capitals marked on the map?
- The capitals... - Yes, of course.
- Really? - Yes.
Did you know India and Indonesia were different countries?
- Of course he does. - Everyone knows that.
I don't know countries that well.
- What? - I don't believe it.
India and Indonesia are different countries?
(Min...)
India and Indonesia are different countries?
(Are you an idiot as well?)
- Are you serious? - Yes, I am.
- Did you really not know? - I honestly didn't know.
I'm being honest.
- More people don't know. - I see.
- This must be normal. - Are we ignorant not to know this?
- Weren't you a good student? - Yes, I was.
However, I've forgotten everything I studied back then.
The fact that I didn't know India and Indonesia were different...
had become a huge issue.
Now everyone in Korea knows the two are different countries.
Indonesia should hire him as an ambassador.
I'm sure Min heard it somewhere as well,
but how could he not know?
I realized he's just a person like me.
This is why he hangs out with me.
(Did you really now know?)
I know it's different.
How could I not have known?
I know that much.
(Laughing)
- Come on. - What's that?
Don't pretend like you knew.
How is your shoot going?
I just came from a shoot.
I came straight from a shoot.
- You don't have any after this? - No.
- Okay. - What's this?
- We had a few classes now. - Right.
I've prepared a test.
- That was our third class. - It was?
We're going to take a test, but don't get nervous.
If you get any wrong, you'll have to pay the price.
- What's this? - It's from "Remember".
(Do you remember this bamboo sword?)
It's light, isn't it?
(From the drama "Remember")
(He was beaten up with a bamboo sword.)
- You were beaten by that? - This is thrilling.
Hye Jin is enjoying it too much.
- Good job, good job. - Good job, good job.
That's wrong.
(I've been waiting for this day.)
It's a bamboo sword.
I beat you with this,
- so you've prepared one too. - It's the same one.
I see.
Min and I used to be close before shooting "Remember".
We were close friends,
but ever since that drama,
- I feel uncomfortable around him. - Because you got beat up?
- You got scared of him. - It woke me up.
You get nervous now.
This is the test I prepared.
I got the spelling right, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
- Are you good at English? - I'm quite good.
How did you know "ex"?
That...
(Where did I learn that?)
It must be one of the basic things you know.
- I don't know what it stands for. - It's short for "example".
- What? - He knows.
Isn't it short for "example"?
As in "for example".
- I don't know. - Come on.
- I really don't. - I don't believe you.
Let's start the test now.
The test?
- As many as you get wrong... - Of this?
Yes.
These are things I didn't even learn.
You've heard it somewhere in your daily life.
- Write the standard word for it? - Write your name first.
Namkoong Min.
Your last name isn't Nam, is it?
- It's Namkoong. - Everyone knows that.
Namkoong Min.
"Giga".
(That sounds familiar.)
(You know this, don't you?)
Giga, giga... This is unbelievable.
Oh, no.
- He's a total beginner. - He really is.
(This is unbelievable.)
"Giga".
No, no. I know what it is.
- "Giga". - Are you serious?
Wait, I know.
Where is Namkoong Min from?
- He's from Seoul. - I see.
He's from Seoul.
"Giga"...
I think it means "isn't that right?"
I think it means "Isn't that right?"
Isn't that right?
- Isn't that a North Korean dialect? - Chungcheong Province?
- It isn't? - You're wrong.
It means "crawl".
(What?)
- It means "crawl"? - Yes. It is.
Hurry up and crawl over there.
Crawl over there.
"Giga"!
- So it means "crawl". - Really?
Hold out your hands.
- Really? - Of course.
- He's getting revenge. - I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry.)
You looks scared.
You'd know if you saw him.
Look at his eyes.
- You can't hit him. - Close your eyes.
"Anboiana"?
I have no idea.
It can't be "boy".
(Laughing)
My goodness.
- "Anboiana"? - "Anboiana"?
That one must've been hard.
- Can you say it for us? - Let's hear the intonation.
"Anboiana".
- What? That's very interesting. - What?
Isn't it "anboiana"?
Is it a name?
Do you know "Anboi"?
It's a person named Anboi.
Isn't that Anboi?
What does it mean?
"Anboiana". I think...
"Anboiana".
How would I know when I can't see?
How would I know without seeing?
- I see. - I see.
- That's hard. - It's very difficult.
It's very hard.
I know this one.
Of course.
I gave you that one, so you could get it right.
Like before.
It's no fun if you get it all wrong.
It means "like before".
- Like before. - Like before.
I know this one.
A few of them are easy.
- "Jabayeo". - What is that?
- "Jabayeo". - Say it for us.
Cue.
"Jabayeo".
- I know. - I know.
You've seen this on the show.
(The answer is "put it in.")
It means "just put it in."
- Put it in. - You said that in the army.
- Put your gas mask in. - Put it in.
- Is it when you said in the army? - Yes, that's right.
Put it in.
I'll say it with an intonation.
"Jabayeo".
- Who says that? - Why not?
It sounds so insincere.
- Who says that? - You'll have to say it.
I feel tears coming.
You aren't lying to me, are you?
This is hard.
(Please get the right answer.)
Why aren't you hitting him harder?
I looked at his eyes and couldn't.
He was smiling, but his eyes weren't.
(How dare...)
(you...)
(hit me?)
That's scary.
I was traumatized.
Whenever I did something wrong in "Remember", he'd do this.
"Look, Soo Bum".
That's how everything started.
(Look, Soo Bum. Look Soo Bum.)
(And that's how everything started.)
(Laughing)
Poor Soo Bum.
Si Eon looks scarier.
Since you're having a hard time,
you get a chance to call a native.
(He calls a native.)
- Hi. - Hi, Jae Cheon.
(He has a thick dialect...)
(and strong intonation.)
It's Yoo Toong.
- He's a native speaker. - He's the mini Yoo Toong.
Give me a second, he wants to use his native speaker chance.
- It's Namkoong Min. - Okay.
You can talk to him.
Is "jabayeo" a dialect?
Yes, it is.
Is it?
When someone tries to give you money,
how do you tell him to put that back in?
Put that money back in.
Put it back in.
Put it back in?
He really has a strong accent.
"Jabayeo".
I can't understand.
Put that back in.
- What? - Put it back in.
- That's what we say. - I thought that was Japanese.
- You can say "jabaneo". - Wait.
- It's "jabaneo". - It can be,
but we also say "jabayeo".
- Do you also say "jabayeo"? - Yes, that's right.
How do you say that?
"Jabayeo"!
(They burst into laughter.)
(He's funny.)
He said it right.
- That was a strong. - Jabayeo!
I'm a fan of yours.
- Really? - Yes.
- Jae Cheon. - Thank you.
Ask if you have any more questions.
Jae Cheon is younger than him.
He's much younger.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- Thank you, Jae Cheon. - Of course.
Bye.
- He's much younger than us. - You know what?
His accent sounds different.
Maybe it's because he really uses a dialect.
Why do you think I'm wrong?
You sound awkward.
Me? I made a debut with this.
I couldn't speak standard Korean.
He isn't smiling.
That's the scariest.
- He looks upset. - I wish he wouldn't smile.
- I think I know this. - Next question.
"Dida".
- Do you know that one? - I got burned?
I got burned?
(Don't annoy me.)
I'll give you a clue.
Gosh, I'm "dida".
What does it mean?
- It's difficult. - That's an old word.
"Dida"?
- Does it mean you burned yourself? - No, it doesn't.
- It means he's tired. - "I'm tired."
- I have no idea. - I'm so tired.
- Right? - That's correct.
- "I'm tired." - He knows the dialect well.
- How did you know? - It's because he was an announcer.
I'm interested in languages.
- Hold on. She's right. - You've dated a girl from Busan.
- He learned from her. - Did you date a girl from Busan?
Look at his eyes.
You're dated a girl from Gyeongsang Province, right?
It looks like he did.
- She said that a lot while dating. - "I'm tired."
"I'm so tired. Just quit it."
"Put it in your bag."
"Giga".
"Don't make me tired."
"Dida".
- "I'm tired." - That's correct.
- Is it? - Yes.
(He finally got the right answer.)
- That's correct. - Really?
Number nine.
"Gamai"?
("Gamai"... What does it mean?)
Soo Beom.
It's a difficult one, so I'll give you a hint.
It sounds...
similar to the equivalent word in standard Korean.
"Be quiet."
Yes. That's correct.
She said that a lot to me too. "Be quiet."
- "Be quiet." - "You just be quiet."
- "Be quiet." - "Be quiet."
"Be quiet. I'm tired."
- "Just put it in your bag." - "Be quiet."
Let's move on to the next expression.
- "Yaga gaga?" - Yes.
This one is easy. "Is that him?"
(He got the right answer again.)
"Ari gakko"?
"It's sore."
(He got 3 answers correct in a row.)
I got better all of a sudden.
(He's on a roll.)
Try the next one.
"Juri"?
(Shivering)
Excuse me. There's something wrong with "juri".
Something wrong with "juri"?
Something wrong with "juri".
- It means "change". - "Juri"?
- Jeong Joo Ri? - He dated a girl from Busan.
- So it's true. - My gosh.
What does "juri" mean again?
- Change. - It means "change".
- "Hyun Moo, give me some change." - "You didn't give ue change."
"Hyun Moo, give me some change."
I guess you didn't give her change.
I only gave her a large chunk of money.
How do you know the word "juri"?
- I happened to learn that. - I'm sure...
A lot of people know that word.
- Even I didn't know that word. - I've never heard of it.
To learn that word,
he needs to live with a girl from Busan for more than six months.
- That's nonsense. - I see.
You can learn that word when you take a taxi.
- No wonder. - I don't think so.
All right. Let's watch.
(All right. Let's watch!)
I'll give you 5 more seconds. 5,
- 4, 3, - I have no idea.
- two... - Oh, dear.
I'll hit you harder this time.
(He groans.)
- Does it really hurt? - Look at his eyes.
There he goes.
(He's scared.)
Nam Kyu Man. He transformed into Nam Kyu Man again.
- You should put on sunglasses. - Don't worry.
"Juri"... What does it mean?
It means "change".
- Oh, change? - That's really difficult.
- "Juri". - No wonder I had no idea.
- This is difficult. - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
As you got...
half of the answers right,
- I'll give you an ice cream. - Thank you.
- I'll bring it now. - He did better than I expected.
- You praise him quite well too. - You eat ice cream, right?
I love it.
You have to keep your figure.
- It used to be only five cents. - This is a cola flavored one.
Good. I'll have it.
- It's the only flavor I have. - I haven't seen it in a while.
I didn't have any other flavors.
Your house is bigger than I thought.
- Right? - Yes.
I think it's big enough to live alone.
Do you know what that is?
The one hanging on the door.
It makes your dreams come true.
(It's the black dream catcher that Hye Jin gave him.)
(Hye Jin bought it for Si Eon in Bali.)
(It looks like it'll bring nightmares.)
(It looks like it brings negative energy.)
- Look at that. - He hung it on the door.
- It looks a bit scary. - It looks scary.
It gives off a dark vibe.
(It gives off an eery vibe.)
In fact,
it once scared me when I woke up while sleeping.
- I'm sure it happened many times. - I was so scared that I screamed.
- I felt like I was being watched. - It feels like...
Hye Jin is watching me with her face covered with her hair.
(Hi, Si Eon.)
(My goodness! Help!)
When the door rattles in wind,
it sounds like someone is knocking on the door.
(Knock, knock, knock)
"Gosh. I can't just get rid of it."
If you get rid of it, something worse will happen to you.
- Should I paint it? - She won't let it slide.
- She won't. - He said he'll paint it.
Hye Jin bought it for me.
Where did she buy that?
She went to Indonesia not long ago.
Is it Indonesia?
- Bali, right? It's in Indonesia. - Yes.
- I told you that last time. - I forgot.
- I didn't know. - You didn't?
- Bali is in Indonesia. - Because I haven't been there.
- You can still learn that. - Bali is...
Then, where is Guam located?
(He asked an ambush question.)
Guam?
(Guam is located right here.)
Guam.
Next to Indonesia?
He's unbelievable too.
That's too ambiguous.
He should be the idiot number four.
He'll be the idiot number zero.
Right. He should be.
(Idiot 0 is pure and innocent.)
Seriously, which country does Guam belong to?
It's somewhere in Southeast Asia.
Is it?
He said it belongs to Southeast Asia.
Guam belongs to Southeast Asia?
- Do you really not know? - Isn't it?
Here it is.
Yes, it's located here,
- It's in Southeast Asia. - but I was asking...
- which country it belongs to. - Hold on a second.
Guam belongs to the US?
That's frustrating.
I think you have a problem.
(I think he has a problem.)
Min, I thought...
you were the smartest among all people I know.
In fact,
I'm the result of conventional education system.
- We had to memorize everything. - Exactly. That's why...
- It has a negative effect. - I forgot right after an exam.
The only thing I still remember is English.
- English? - Yes. I forgot everything else.
- Are you good at English? - He must be good at English.
(Are you good at English?)
- I'm not that good though. - I see.
(I'm not that good.)
Let's move on.
- Okay. - There are only two questions.
"Dhalsim and Han Hye Jin are..."
"Friends" must not be the answer.
- They say, "Aren't they friends?" - That's right.
It doesn't sound like Busan dialect.
(He rules out one by one.)
It should be either "family" or "yeongpan".
"Family" would be too easy.
Why would he solve a question like that?
That's not how you should solve this question.
"Family" shouldn't be the answer from a common sense viewpoint.
In fact, you made the question too easy.
What's that? Anyone would know that the answer is "yeongpan".
I was teaching Namkoong Min!
I would've made it difficult if it had been Hyun Moo.
From a common sense viewpoint,
the answer is number four.
I think it's the right answer. Is it correct?
- That's correct, but... - I knew it.
Do you even know what it means?
- No, I don't. - "Yeongpan".
- You don't know what it means? - "Yeongpan".
Dhalsim and Han Hye Jin are "yeongpan".
It means alike.
- Oh, alike? - It means "they look alike."
"They look alike." I see.
"Hye Jin and her dad look alike."
- "They look alike." - That's good.
You can also say it like this. "They look alike."
This one is an essay test.
- It's a descriptive question. - You can say this sentence...
with only three words in dialect.
(There's already a dialect expression in the question.)
"Ma'am, could you move over and make room please?"
- Use 3 words. - Only 3 words?
- This is difficult. - Three words?
Only three words?
- Three words? - It's easy.
- It's simple when you know it. - I think...
- I know the answer. - Hyun Moo!
Please don't tell the answer. I know you have a girlfriend from Busan.
I don't have a girlfriend.
- A girlfriend from Busan. - It's easy. Take a guess.
- Three words? - "Move over please."
MMM as in "Ma'am, move over and make room."
You should start with "ma'am".
- Ma'am? - That's right.
- It's an easy question. - "Ma'am, come on."
- "Ma'am, come on." - I don't think...
- the lady wouldn't understand. - "Ma'am..."
You're getting close to the answer.
Really? Is that it?
"Ma'am, could you move over and make room please?"
- You can say that in three words? - Yes.
Isn't it "Ma'am, please move"?
- "Ma'am, please move." - Of course.
("Ma'am, move over and...")
I have no clue.
What's the answer?
"Ma'am, please move."
(He says it in three words.)
"Ma'am, please move."
(The mysterious world of dialect)
I can't believe him.
(Hyun Moo must have dated a girl from Busan.)
Did you date a younger woman?
Oh, please.
Let's begin the review.
We're doing a review?
- You should practice it again. - Oh, right.
There's only 1 scene, but this is his 3rd lesson.
His line isn't so long either.
He keeps practicing his line.
Whenever I meet him, he asks me about Busan dialect.
Practicing your line is the most important.
- This was a warm-up. - Right. In fact,
I recorded your voice last time.
"Visit me when you come to Busan."
"I'll give you a tour around Busan."
- Are those his lines? - Yes.
I listened to this repeatedly.
Shall I hear you speak?
(Shall I see how well you can do it?)
I'm nervous. I did well at home.
(He creates an intense atmosphere with his kendo bamboo sword.)
"Visit me when you come to Busan."
"You should visit many places to learn about Korea."
Wrong. Give me your hands.
(Hitting)
(He hit Min hard.)
- The last part wasn't good. - You took so many lessons.
You shouldn't speak dialect like that.
I did well here.
The first sentence was good.
"Visit me when you come to Busan."
"You should visit many places to learn about Korea."
- The last part is difficult. - He sounds awkward.
- "You should visit many places." - He sounds awkward...
because he didn't add emotion to his voice.
- "You should visit many places." - He just imitated the accent.
It sounds awkward. "You should visit many places."
Just as I told you last time,
you should speak in different tones...
depending on how many business cards you have,
or how many people you meet there.
Or it can sound completely different.
"Visit me when you come to Busan."
"You should visit many places to learn about Korea."
- You better get going. - You could add this.
- "Did you eat? You better go." - "You better get going."
- "You better get going." - If it's one person.
- Only if it's one person. - Si Eon, you're great.
- It'll change if it's one person. - You're different indeed.
It'll change.
- "Come visit Busan." - That part is great.
"You need to visit all these places to learn about Korea."
This part is a bit weird.
The last part is a bit awkward.
"You need to visit all these places to learn about Korea."
- This isn't right either. - That was right.
- It was? - Yes.
- "You need to visit." - That was correct.
"Come visit Busan."
"You need to visit all these places to learn about Korea."
- Was it okay? Is that so? - That's correct.
- Much better than the beginning. - Really? Is that enough?
I learned Busan dialect for my character before.
I always added "yeh" at the end.
- It sounds like dialect that way. - "That's not it."
- "That's not it." - Isn't it what Robert Holley does?
- "Do you want some?" - "Do you want some?"
You're saying that it's an old dialect.
- With "yeh" at the end. - That's what elders say.
- That's right. - These days,
only guys like Jae Cheon use that.
He doesn't sound awkward when he uses it.
Instead, he'd sound awkward without such accent.
When people from Busan hear others speak in dialect...
- They'd find it hilarious. - in movies and dramas,
- is that obvious? - It is always obvious.
It is 100 percent obvious. Actually,
- I'd like to show you... - Jang Dong Gun isn't from Busan.
An expression with the dialect of Busan.
It was Yu Oh Seong's line.
- "You should go." - "Where did Joon Seok go?"
"He went to the internship training program."
On the next scene, he picks up a knife and goes,
"Who brought this?"
"You can't kill a person with this or the cutters..."
"you used to play with when you were young."
Who brought this?
I did.
You can't kill a person with this or the cutters...
you used to play with when you were young.
- That's right. - That's not a dialect of Busan.
- What? - What is it then?
His performance was so phenomenal...
that we learned his accent.
- I see. - What is it supposed to be?
"Who brought this?"
"You can't kill a person with this or the cutters..."
"you used to play with when you were young."
- All of a sudden... - Yu Oh Seong is better.
- My goodness. - He sounds countrified.
- Sounds like he's from an island. - There’s no sense of depth.
- "I won't buy your knife." - This is the original version.
"I won't buy it."
(His passion for Busan dialect never ends.)
"Sir, I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
"I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
Korean ladies...
- Ladies... - Ladies.
- "Ladies"? - Ladies.
So the way you pronounce "ladies"...
is slightly different from the way it's spelled?
Yes, that's a very important point.
Then it's...
(He pronounces the first letter like a babbling baby.)
- It's... - Give me your hands.
(The moment he opens his mouth, he is getting the cane.)
- It's so hard. - It's difficult.
- So you don't lower the intonation? - It's really difficult.
"I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
It sounds similar to me.
"Sir, I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
- It's different. - We sound similar.
You'll find out that we sound different once you go home...
- and watch the show. - Is that so?
I'm confused. Every time I come,
he changes his instruction.
So what he said last time, it is incorrect this time.
He'd teach this today, but he'd...
- say different things next time. - The instructor has problems.
- It's not that. - It's a bit weird.
Don't you think so? I'm serious.
Is he speaking the proper Busan dialect?
Yes, it sounds like the accent he uses at home.
Now I've become a comedienne.
I realized there's a dialect of Jeolla Province only comedians use.
A dialect of Jeolla Province only comedians use.
For example,
"That's what happened."
- It makes me so embarrassed. - It doesn't exist in reality?
- Nobody uses it. - No one says that.
- That expression isn't used? - Not at all.
- It gives me goose bumps even now. - Isn't that German?
- Thank you. - Like this.
("Danke" means "thank you" in German.)
Try it one more time. I'll demonstrate.
"I guess even the peerless Mr. Park finds it hard to handle them."
You keep changing your accent.
Then, I'll call the native speaker once again.
You keep changing your accent. You clearly taught me that way.
It feels like I'm trapped. I went to Busan last week.
Hang on.
I'll read a line to you.
- Say it in the dialect, all right? - Okay.
"I guess even the peerless Mr. Park..."
"finds it hard to handle them."
"I guess even the peerless Mr. Park..."
"can't handle them.""
(I guess he can't handle them.)
(He sounds frivolous like a flapping fish.)
"He can't handle them."
- It's too affectionate. - I agree.
It sounds so affectionate.
(This is it.)
- This is wrong. - I'm not sure about the last part.
Try this one then.
"Sir,"
"I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
You don't work with Korean ladies these days?
(Simple)
(Respect)
Right, Gyeongsang Province's dialect simplifies expressions.
- "You don't work with them?" - "You don't work with them?"
Actually, we can speak casually, right?
You don't work with Korean ladies these days?
(Let's see.)
The accent is completely different from ours.
- It's similar. - Is that so?
Jae Cheon, see if my accent sounds strange.
"Sir, I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
You shouldn't accentuate "Korean". Say it naturally.
- See, you're wrong. - It depends on the person.
The last part sounds weird.
- We should remove the last letter. - That's right.
- Korean ladies... - Korean... right?
- This is how you should say it. - Of course.
Just remove the words after "Korean ladies".
Korean ladies...
Jae Cheon, that's up to the director.
That's not your job.
- "Remove it." - He's even trying to direct now.
(Jae Cheon attempts to take over the director's spot.)
- He wasn't lucky. - Jae Cheon is funny today.
"I guess you don't work with Korean ladies."
Are you playing a gangster?
He's not playing a gangster. He is...
- An undercover... - an undercover...
detective.
- That's what your role is, right? - Detectives...
- Questioning investigator. - What?
He'd be speaking while smoking a cigarette.
What on earth are you talking about? You should stop smoking.
(He's unbelievable.)
- Now a cigarette... - He's trying to direct the movie.
Exactly. Jae Cheon, the director.
Jae Cheon, the director will decide that, not you.
Bo Yeon.
(Jae Cheon calls Si Eon by his real name.)
I was on MBC.
Jae Cheon's pride may have gone up too much.
He says he's so busy taking pictures with others.
- I'm hanging up. - All right.
I think we should get rid of the last letter.
"Sir, I guess you don't work with Korean ladies these days."
- That's better. - That's much better.
"I guess you don't work with the girls."
I think it's nice. It sounds much better without it.
This is...
From the phone call with the local speaker, Jae Cheon,
I realized that this is the dialect.
In fact, I think I'm not good enough to be a teacher.
I'd better go through an intensive training myself...
and teach Min again.
This part is the highlight.
"Once I step on the accelerator, I never back up."
You're excellent with this sentence.
- Really? It's okay? - Yes.
"Once I step on the accelerator, I never back up."
- That's correct. - It's okay?
If I want to emphasize it more, how would I say it?
You would be listening like this...
(How will Si Eon act?)
"Once I step on the accelerator, I never back up!"
- Like this. - Is that so? Like that?
(He shows off his superb acting skills.)
Si Eon, you seem really skilled.
(Shy)
Shall we try that with the bag?
The dialect would change that way.
(His passion for acting rises with a prop.)
Put it on top of the table.
"Once I step on the accelerator, I never back up."
- Much better. - Really?
- Was it okay? - It was much better.
- This was the right use. - Is that so?
It's because...
your accent may change depending on the movement.
That's right.
I think it sounds okay when acting is involved.
"You should have this power."
"Then, the rumor is true."
"Are you really going to go up to Yeouido?"
- This is how it should be. - Right.
"Then, the rumor is true."
"Are you really going to go up to Yeouido?"
"I guess even the peerless Mr. Park finds it hard to handle them."
"It's because the police have their eyes on me."
"Once I step on the accelerator, I never back up."
"Once I step on the accelerator, I never back up!"
(The great actors are dedicating themselves to acting.)
You've done a great job,
so I'll give you a watermelon as a prize.
- Thank you. - Watermelon...
- You have watermelon too? - Si Eon School is pretty nice.
- Ice cream and watermelon. - Gosh, it's heavy.
(He cuts the whole watermelon.)
- That's not how you cut it. - How should I cut it then?
Don't people cut it this way?
- Like this? - Vertically.
- Shouldn't we cut it like this? - I cut it like Si Eon too.
- Since you've already cut it... - I usually cut from the stalk end.
- Is that so? - I cut it vertically.
- In fact... - It's not important.
I've never bought it before.
I haven't done it before at home,
but I think I'll do better than you.
I thought I was the only one scooping watermelon like this.
Actually, it's my first time buying a watermelon for myself at home.
- What? - What?
I've never had a watermelon at home. It was my very first time buying it.
- For Min. - It was my first time.
- First time ever in my life. - Really?
- Right. It's the same for me. - I rarely eat watermelon.
- I don't buy watermelons. - You don't like watermelons?
- Why not? - There are seeds,
- The garbage. - It generates too much food waste.
You can even get sliced watermelon these days.
- They sell sliced watermelon. - Those two click.
- Their likes and dislikes. - Exactly.
I'm trying really hard to be close with Hye Jin.
Do you go out when you feel like having watermelon?
I rarely eat watermelon.
I don't really like it.
- Really? - Yes.
Did you get the watermelon because of me then?
- People like watermelon. - Yes.
- You got it for me? - Of course.
How touching.
(Reading Si Eon's face)
I went to an oriental clinic a while ago.
I got my constitution checked.
They said watermelon and melon are not good for me.
- Watermelon and melon. - Oh, dear.
For whom did he get the watermelon?
I'm enjoying this watermelon because you offered it.
You're not supposed to eat it?
(Taste and constitution can't stop their friendship.)
In fact, Si Eon is a great actor.
He acts very well.
Also, when he's acting, he does his best.
When I first saw him, I just thought...
he would be kind of playful.
So I was a bit worried about being on the show with him.
But as I kept performing with him continuously,
I learned that he's very modest and serious when it comes to acting.
He's an actor I'd always like to work with...
while I am continuing my acting career.
Min, I love you!
Every day, when I go home after shooting a film,
I worry about how I'm going to eat dinner alone.
Thanks to you, I learned the dialect...
and I am scooping the watermelon as well.
- And the soy milk too. - The soy milk too.
Even though the rind is thick, the watermelon is delicious.
Great job. I enjoyed your footage.
What words are difficult for people from Jeolla Province to pronounce?
"Eui"...
- is so difficult for me. - That's my hope.
My... My teacher.
It sounds somewhat rough.
There is a player in Doosan Bears named "Yang Eui Ji".
It was when we were going through our winter training.
Physical training is really hard during the training.
They make you sit down and stand up 200 times at once.
He was going through the practice beside me.
"Gosh, my thighs are melting down."
(It sounds totally countrified.)
What does that mean?
- There's an expression like that? - Yes, there is.
- "Gosh, my thighs will melt." - "They will melt."
"What should I do?"
- "What should I do?" - "They might melt."
(I Live Alone)
Hi, Wilson.
(Late bloomer Hyun Min's school)
My name is Hyun Min.
Let's begin.
Let's begin. Daddy will study.
Daddy will study.
- Oh, dear. - It's Kkobong.
He's doing well. He didn't even call me once.
Okay. Here's the book.
(What is he going to study all of a sudden?)
- English? - English.
He struggled with English last time.
I will make sure that nothing ever goes wrong.
Wait, hang on.
(Hyun Min's English line was incomprehensible.)
- What was that? - "Goes wrong".
- Wasn't it "Go Seul Ong"? - It wasn't "Go Seul Ong".
- Please fast forward it. - I bet he's never learned English.
In fact, I've never learned English.
Since I was young, my dream was...
- to become a baseball player. - Of course.
So I exercised during school hours.
I even tried...
marking all the answers with one number.
But I almost got 30 percent right.
If I tried solving them, I would have scored higher.
I would've gotten 70 or 80 percent right.
(Let's show off my skills.)
There's dust.
(He thinks about cleaning his desk when he sits down.)
We always start with such things when we think about studying.
You sharpen so many pencils.
You won't finish using them for your whole life.
People may think that you're a painter.
Do you do drawing?
(There is a pile of English books.)
(Seems like it's taking him a day to prepare for his studies.)
I'll use a black pencil to be cool.
(A pencil should be black.)
Where should I start?
(Looking around)
His eyes are not ready to study.
I should write my name on the book.
Start with the name. That's right.
Why are you doing that?
You should just get started.
- Shouldn't you do such stuff? - No, no.
You'll get sleepy and hungry while doing that.
Those who don't study carry pencils of all different colors.
They carry pens and sticky notes too.
(Hyun Min only prepares to study for such a long time.)
(Will he escape his humiliation of "goes wrong"?)
(I'll see you in part 2.)
What should my English name be?
Brad.
(The first option is "Brad Pitt".)
I was trying to come up with an English name.
- Open the book and study. - Well,
I have a question. Some people have English names.
- Do they pick one on their own? - Yes, it's random.
- There's no meaning to it? - Hyun Moo, do you have one?
- Korean names are tough to call. - It's Kevin.
It's Kevin.
(It's not "Mr. Bean"?)
- It suits him. - Does it suit me?
I think Hye Jin might have one.
- It'd be "Dhalsim". - My name is actually...
- Dhalsim? - Dhalsim.
I would've picked "Dhalsim" if I knew you back then.
(Too bad.)
I just use my family name as my English name.
- "Han". - Yes.
- Han. - "Han" is nice.
I think something like Garcia would suit Hyun Min.
- What? That's too buttery. - Garcia?
- Garcia. - Why give him a strange name?
Or how about "Robert"?
- Let's go with "Robert Holley". - No.
- I don't like it, Hyun Moo. - "Do you want some?"
"Gosh, my thighs might melt down."
(It's nice.)
- What about you, Na Rae? - I don't have one.
- Na Rae... - "Julie" is a pretty name.
- Julie. - Julia Roberts?
How about just "Robert"?
- Robert. - "Robert" suits her the best.
- It's nice. - Robert.
We are similar because I got plastic surgeries too.
Jude Law.
(First name is "Ju" and last name is "De law".)
Derek,
(He adds the names of the baseball players he admires.)
Alex.
(And then...)
(He can't think of any more English names.)
- Nelson. - Nelson?
- Wilson, Robinson. - All names you know are coming out.
- You'll write "Wilson" too. - Wilson.
Jude Law... Jude Law is...
- I'm Jude Law. - Yes, you can't go with "Jude Law".
- "Jude Law" is my name. - Mood Law.
(What name should I pick?)
I'll go with "Brad".
- Brad? - Brad.
(He picks his favorite actor's name.)
Excuse me, but when will you study?
- What? - You wrote "Bread".
Isn't it "Brad" originally?
- Brad Pitt. - My goodness.
Hyun Min, you're almost close.
Honestly, you didn't know, did you?
- You didn't know that it was bread. - I didn't.
So you ended up naming yourself as "Bread"?
- It's "Bread". - I thought it was fun.
(He's made another big mistake with "Bread" after "goes wrong".)
Is this the right spelling for Brad?
- Brad Pitt. - You'll find out now.
That's right.
B, r, a, d.
I was wrong.
- He did find out. - Oh, dear.
B, r, e, a, d.
- At least he knew the word bread. - It's bread.
(He found out the meaning of his savory English name.)
- You wrote "Bread" without knowing? - Apparently he didn't.
- I didn't know the spelling. - You give me chills.
I knew what the word bread means, but I didn't know its spelling.
Spare your breath.
I screwed up.
I screwed up from the beginning.
(His English study is facing trouble from the beginning.)
Still, let's begin.
"Everything about English grammar every English learner must know."
(Let's see.)
Graduated from Korea University.
- Acquired capacity for language. - Why is he reading the profile?
- Read the contents inside. - I've never seen someone like that.
I want to do that when I read novels.
Hyun Min, spare your breath.
English grammar.
- "Grammar"? - "Grammar"?
(He finds a word he doesn't know from the first page.)
(He looks up the word he doesn't know right away.)
Gra...
Grammar.
Encyclopedia.
What is he doing?
Encyclopedia.
- No, tell me the word in English. - Encyclopedia.
- But you wrote it in Korean. - Encyclopedia.
What's the matter with you, really?
(He checks the pronunciation.)
- It's a difficult word. - Encyclopedia.
The title was difficult, so I bought it to look cool.
- You picked a book that's too hard. - Is that a difficult one?
It is. It looks difficult at a glance.
The fact that the title includes such word...
proves that it's not for beginners.
There's a lot of things to see.
There are many easy books out there.
- Ones for elementary school kids... - Of course.
With many pictures.
You'll end up not studying if the book is too hard.
It gives me a headache when there's no pictures in it.
Pass.
What do you mean, "pass"?
It was way too hard.
You've done nothing but writing your name down.
- He finished studying so quickly. - This is how Hyun Min is.
- Study "Absolute Beginners". - "Absolute Beginners" will be nice.
That's what you should begin with.
"Absolute Beginners".
(Hyun Min moved down to the absolute beginners class.)
Who is the author?
The author got a master's degree...
in English literature at Sungkyunkwan University.
I wanted to make sure that I could trust the author,
and the author is good enough to teach me.
So I...
I checked reliability of the author.
I think it's reliable.
It's...
Ae... Ae...
(He practices to improve his pronunciation.)
"Back, mat, have, ten".
"Guess". It's too noisy. I'm studying.
- Noise bothers you when studying. - It's hard to concentrate.
After closing the window, you complain that it's too hot.
Then, you use it as an excuse to start studying the next day.
What's the question?
Who.
Who. "Who is that girl?"
That, that, that girl.
Hey, you go girl.
He's distracted.
(He's distracted!)
He closed the book again.
(He gave up in 10 minutes.)
He studied "Absolute Beginners" longer than the others.
How many books did you read?
(The author's educational background is written in English.)
The author's profile is written in English.
He's not reading it out loud.
- It's written in English. - It's an elite university.
Noun.
What's noun?
- You don't need to know that. - English grammar is difficult.
- It really is difficult. - Noun means names, right?
- Isn't it pronoun? - Then, what's noun?
Doesn't noun mean objects?
- The names of objects. - It becomes more difficult...
- when you explain grammatically. - Exactly.
I hated grammar when I was in school.
You just started to learn English.
Once you write "noun" on your notebook,
- It's over. - it's over.
You can't learn English like that.
- You'll lose your interest. - Then, how should we learn English?
You don't have to study grammar.
It only matters to those who are preparing for an exam.
You just want to learn to speak English.
I think you should start learning to speak...
- before studying grammar. - You look so intelligent.
You'll give up while learning what noun is.
You'll give up on English.
(Hyun Min sticks to the book for now.)
This pencil is weird.
(He's distracted.)
Adverb only sounds like the type of an apple.
- Just eat some apple. - That's funny.
It gives me headache.
- I bet he'll never see those notes. - My head hurts.
That's what I mean.
(He opens another book after taking a note.)
It's difficult.
How many books did you buy?
He's checking the author's profile.
He's so peculiar.
(The author is qualified!)
Oh, this is easy.
"Hello."
"Good morning."
"I am Brad Murphy."
- Brad. No. - "I am Brad Murphy."
- He wrote "bread". - Oh, no.
Not again.
He'll probably write "muffin" instead of "Murphy".
(How do I spell Murphy?)
(He skips that part.)
- "I am bread." - "I am bread."
"I am bread."
You don't need to know how to spell names.
(He seems frustrated.)
- This isn't it. - He closed another book.
When you see your textbooks,
the latter part is clean.
I should memorize words.
This isn't the right time for me.
First of all...
Frame.
What's frame in English?
- What's frame in English? - What's frame in English?
- Frame. - You know that?
- How did you know? - Exactly.
(He learns words used in everyday life first.)
Frame.
What's desk in English?
I heard it helps you learn English...
to put notes on every object.
- He put a note on the desk. - I can feel his enthusiasm.
What's ironing board in English?
Ironing board.
- That's a difficult one. - Ironing board?
- Ironing board is... - Wasn't "darimi" an English word?
- "Darimi" is an English word? - Ironing board?
- "Darimi". - Ironing board.
- "Darimi"? - My goodness.
"Darimi".
(Never mind.)
"Darimi".
Wasn't it an English word for iron?
"Darimi".
- You thought the same as me, right? - No, it's...
- It sounds like... - I know that it's a Korean word.
- It's a Korean word. - It's derived from the verb.
- "Darimi". - I never speak English.
- It's not a wrong thing. - It's understandable.
It's fun to learn together.
It's too long.
An ironing board.
At the moment, it's not necessary...
for me to learn English.
- I can have a basic converstaion... - He's right.
- when I travel overseas. - It's okay if you're not fluent.
- Of course. - However,
I felt excited after a long time.
About studying.
I didn't like to study English...
when I was in middle and high school.
Now it makes me excited...
to think that I can learn something new.
So I'll challenge myself to learn English.
It's fun to study when you get older.
- It's so fun. - That's true.
(Hyun Min read many books, )
What should I start with?
(but he doesn't know how to start without help.)
(Hyun Min calls someone.)
Is he calling a native English speaker?
- Hi. - Hi.
- It's Henry. - How are you today?
Are you Hyun Min?
No, it's not Hyun Min.
My name is Brad.
Bread?
Not bread.
Brad like Brad Pitt.
Oh, Brad Pitt?
So how are you doing?
- I'm studying English right now. - I see.
It's too difficult.
I want to improve...
- Yes. - my pronunciation.
- I think... - Your pronunciation is weird.
I'm not good at spelling too...
- Is my pronunciation weird? - Henry uses the word "weird" often.
Yes, but in a good way.
In a good way?
- Yes. - What does it mean?
Some people speak weirdly in a bad way.
- I see. - Is he referring to me?
You speak weirdly in a good way.
- So I still have hope? - That's right.
- If you have any questions, - It's difficult to speak.
- feel free to ask me. - It's hard to understand it too.
Where are you now?
(Where are you now?)
I am...
in my bed.
In your bed?
- Why? - May I sit next to you?
Oh, do you want to lie with me...
Please come over.
Okay. I got it.
- Yes. - My baby Hyun Min.
No. Call me Brad.
- My baby Bread. - Bread.
- I'll buy some bread for you. - I'm worried about them...
- hanging together. - I can't imagine them together.
They'll give each other a hard time.
(He listens to pop songs now.)
You should listen to pop songs.
People listen to The Beatles' songs.
- Like "Yesterday". - Exactly.
(Let it be)
Your hair color and everything make you look like a Korean American.
(He sings along with bad pronunciation.)
(Let it be)
This is how most people pronounce it.
They sing along only at the part that goes, "Let it be."
(I love this part of the song.)
While being lost in thought,
they sing along at this part.
(Let it be)
(He hums the rest of the song.)
(He arrives at Henry's house!)
It looks like a cafe.
His house is clean.
(Is anyone home?)
Henry.
- Hi, Hyun Min. - Hi.
- Bread. Mr. Bread. - Bread.
- Bread. - Oh, bread.
Come in please.
(This is a native speaker's pronunciation.)
- He looks intelligent. - He does, indeed.
- "Come in please." - Your house is nice.
Take a look at this too.
(What is that?)
- He's showing off again. - He's showing off again.
- Do you ride it in your house? - Yes, I do.
- He's really good at riding it. - It's really difficult to ride it.
- He rides it in his house. - I clean the house while riding it.
You do?
I clean the floor like this.
(He's fascinated.)
Would you like to try it?
- It's difficult. - I'm not sure if I can do that.
- You can't succeed at first. - Try please.
- I used to an athlete, so... - Hold on a second.
I'll help you if this is your first time.
- Is bromance beginning? - He hugged Hyun Min from behind.
(What?)
(Hugging scenes are always very romantic.)
(It feels weirdly good.)
- What's going on? - It made Hyun Min's heard flutter.
My heart is fluttering.
So is mine.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Hold on a second. - It's okay.
(He calms himself down and gives the hoverboard a try.)
(Swaying)
Stop. Hold on a second.
It looks weird, but it's necessary.
- Or you might fall. - Okay.
Go. Go.
- No, no. Go straight. - Go straight.
- It moves when I say, "Go"? - Go, go.
Go!
- It's not like that. - My gosh.
- What is he talking about? - You have to move your feet.
- You have to move your feet. - It was my first time.
It doesn't have a voice recognition function.
- Go. - Go!
- Go! - No, no. Hyun Min.
Get off the board.
- 1, 2, 3. - 3.
(His first try was tough but not successful.)
Okay.
- It's too difficult. - I'll show you.
(Henry demonstrates his techniques.)
He's really good at it.
- He's really good. - He just wants to show off.
- He's like a baby. - Exactly.
You control the strength with your toes.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
(It's time for English learning consultation.)
Last time,
you heard me speaking English,
you said I sounded like a person who's never learned English.
- I remember that. - Me too.
Oh, no.
Stop it!
- I'm not that bad! - What do you think?
(He has probably never learned any English.)
Henry understood less than we did.
After it aired,
I got so many messages from English teachers.
What did they say?
They promised me I could...
have English conversations within two months.
They introduced their programs.
- I get a lot of messages too. - What do they say?
I got more than 10 messages about how to dress.
"Wear this."
"Don't wear round-neck T-shirts."
"Wear V-neck T-shirts instead."
They nag me so much.
- Really? - "Don't wear those shoes."
- I get messages too. - What do they say?
They want to drink at Na Rae Bar.
People want to borrow money from me.
You lent your money to your friend.
It's okay. You can practice from now on.
- Don't worry? - Don't worry.
- Don't worry. - Don't worry.
I want to learn English.
I bought some books at the bookstore.
Let me see. Oh, my gosh.
(Oh, my gosh.)
Did you buy all of them?
Did you really think it's "Bread"?
Yes.
- Really? - Yes. Is it too bad?
Well... Someone might be called Bread.
I'm sure he's the first person in the world...
who is called Bread.
I don't believe in these.
When I learned Korean,
I didn't use any books.
- Really? - Really?
What about when you learned Chinese?
I didn't use any books then either.
Speaking is the most important thing.
And listening and understanding.
You don't need these.
- It's okay. - It's okay?
- You have me. - Okay.
- I'm with you. - I'll trust you.
Thank you.
No problem. I learn languages fast.
- Do you have know-how? - Know-how...
First of all, be confident.
- Be confident? - It's the most important thing.
You have to be confident.
- Be confident? - Yes.
- Be confident? - Be confident.
I can understand quite a bit.
- Is it hard to speak? - I want to learn the details.
I want to learn grammar.
- G, r, a, m, m... - Not "G".
- G. - G.
(Henry corrects Hyun Min's pronunciation.)
- R. - R.
R.
I don't see your tongue.
Your tongue shouldn't touch anything.
- R. - R.
What should I do?
- Isn't it hard? - R.
- It's hard. - That sounds Korean.
- R. - R.
- R. - You have to roll your tongue.
- R. - R.
- R. - It's hard at first.
- R. - Are you feeling sick?
What's that?
(It sounds like she's throwing up.)
I've seen you do it many times.
(Admitting)
- Let's do a test. - A test?
I want to know how much you know.
What is this?
Glass. No, not glass.
It's not glass.
(The answer is glasses.)
What are they called?
- Are you serious? - Yes.
- I'm losing my confidence. - No.
Do you know... Hey, what is this?
- No... - Yes?
- Noise. - Nose.
- Nose. - Noise?
It's something else.
- Noise is a band. - Noise.
What is this?
We tissue.
- What? - We tissue.
- Wet tissues. - Wet tissues.
- Wet tissues? - Wet tissues?
- Are they called wet tissues? - Not water tissues?
- Water tissues? - What?
- It makes sens. - Am I wrong?
- Water tissues. - Water tissues.
Let's start a conversation.
I want to see how much you san say.
- So your name is Brad? - Yes. Brad.
What is your occupation?
- Occupation? - Yes, what is your job?
My job...
Actor.
Say, "I'm an actor."
- I am an actor. - I am...
I am... I am an actor.
- I am an... - I'm an...
You're so cute.
What did you eat this morning?
- No. - No?
I didn't eat any breakfast.
- Try saying it in English. - This one is difficult.
I'm not...
(Well...)
Breakfast... Eat...
I don't eat breakfast.
- I didn't... - I didn't.
I didn't eat breakfast.
- I didn't... - Didn't.
- Didn't. - I didn't.
I didn't.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Why are you sighing? - It's nothing.
You're not even as good as an elementary school student.
- Maybe a kindergartener? - Not even that.
Probably an infant.
(Dizzy)
I can relate.
I thought my tongue was going to melt.
It would.
It would completely melt.
It would.
(The dialect effectively describes how he felt.)
I'm getting a headache.
The most important thing is changing your environment.
My environment?
- Do you have a girlfriend? - Yes.
- Can she speak English? - A little.
- A little? - Yes.
Why don't you get a new girlfriend?
(Why don't you get a new girlfriend?)
To learn English?
- Get a new girlfriend? - Yes.
- Someone who speaks English? - Yes.
Then your English will...
- improve right away. - That makes sense.
Still...
But it has a downside.
I used to have a foreign boyfriend.
- You did? - Yes.
- She dated many foreigners. - I did.
- Really? - He lived in New York.
We dated for about a year. By the time we broke up,
he had learned Korean swear words.
My English didn't improve a lot.
You have to learn English. Change your girlfriend.
No, I can't do that.
- Of course not. - Of course not.
Then make some new friends.
You need friends who speak English.
I only hang out with Korean friends.
- Right. - It was so frustrating at first.
- I had to learn Korean. - It must have been hard.
Then when did you start to understand Korean?
After two months.
After two months, I could have conversations.
- 2 weeks? - Yes, 2 weeks.
- 2 months. - 2 weeks?
- 2 weeks? - Yes, 2 weeks. Wait, what?
- Henry got confused. - Oh, not two weeks.
- Henry got confused. - What should I say instead?
What should I say instead?
(Oh, my.)
- I'm losing confidence again. - No. You can do it.
Also, I was a trainee back then.
I had to sing Korean songs. That's how I learned Korean.
- Singing Korean songs? - Yes.
Why don't you learn some English songs?
- English songs? - It'll improve your pronunciation.
Won't I lose my confidence?
You don't seem to have a lot of confidence. Stand up.
- Look over there. - Over there.
Who is the best?
Who?
- I mean, who? - Who?
- I mean, who? - You should answer him.
(Who?)
Oh, my.
I thought he wanted me to repeat after him.
- That's not what I mean. - What's wrong?
Look over there and say this.
I'm the best.
Shout it out loud, looking over there.
- Do I have to do that? - Yes. You have to do.
- Of course. - You need to be confident.
Who is the best?
- What's wrong? - I can't do it.
Do you want to do this or get a new girlfriend?
- Get a new girlfriend? - That's too extreme.
- Brad is the best. - You don't want a new girlfriend?
- No. - Who is the best?
Brad is the best!
Louder. It's not loud enough.
(The teacher pushes his student to the limit.)
That's not loud. Who is the best?
It's like the movie, "Whiplash".
"Whiplash".
Brad is the best!
(You have to be confident to learn English.)
- Brad. - Brad!
(Remember, Brad.)
- Brad is the best! - Louder!
Louder. That's not loud enough.
Brad is the best!
- Yes! - It's embarrassing.
(Cringe worthy)
It makes me cringe.
I'm getting goosebumps.
That was amazing.
From now on, you should walk like a cool guy.
- Do you know how to be cool? - A cool guy?
(Cool)
- I'm the best. - I'm the...
Brad is the best.
Turn around.
Wait. Do I have to do this?
- He needs to change his attitude. - Yes.
If you can't do this, you have to get a new girlfriend.
It's too extreme.
When are you going to start learning English?
He said we were going to sing, but he kept making me do that.
Here it comes.
Brad is the best.
There's one more here.
Brad is the best.
That's right. Be more confident.
Be cool.
(Demonstrating)
Brad is the best.
(Understood)
- I'm confident now. - Really?
Should we start?
- Yes. - Are you ready?
You've been in musicals, right?
- Yes, for a while. - Right?
You've been in musicals?
(Henry is a musical genius.)
(His skills are amazing.)
(What will they sing?)
(Playing)
Isn't that "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"?
(Correct)
(He is a musical singer.)
He is a musical singer.
Shall we give it a go?
(Chapter 2, Sing in English)
(Twinkle, twinkle)
You lack the confidence.
"Twinkle, twinkle." Sing loudly.
Does he need to sing like that?
(He tries again with confidence.)
Twinkle, twinkle.
I will raise the pitch until you gain confidence.
Twinkle, twinkle.
Louder!
Did you go there to learn how to sing?
Did you go there to learn how to sing loudly?
(The 32-year-old Brad learns a children's song.)
Okay, let's go.
Why is he doing that?
That day, I learned...
which octave my voice can reach.
(This is the highest I can go.)
- It's too high. - Why do you lack the confidence?
- It's too high for my voice. - No, you have to do it.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star You can do it.
In 5, 6, 7, 8.
(He reaches the highest octave.)
(Trying his best)
You did it.
You can do it. Who is the best?
- Brad is the best. - Louder.
- Brad is the best. - Brad is the best.
Yes. Okay.
I am sweating.
- He looks intimidated. - He looks exhausted.
- His energy is drained. - Look at his face.
He lost his vigor in half a day.
- You could sing Disney songs. - Disney.
It will be nice to sing the soundtrack of Disney.
Disney.
Do you know that song?
(The OST of "Frozen")
It's the song children love the most.
- "Frozen". - You could sing it.
I watched it so many times because of my nephew.
That's right.
(These two adults love the song too.)
That's right. I know the song.
- Shall we sing the song together? - Yes.
You must have gained a lot of singing skills.
(They are on their second song.)
I think your pronunciation has a problem.
Are you telling me not to worry?
No. I guess you didn't understand.
- A problem. - A problem.
Pronunciation.
- Pronunciation. - Pronunciation.
Singing along will help with your pronunciation...
- and confidence. - Confidence.
I will translate word by word.
- Okay. - Okay.
(There is a reason for a sing-along.)
Here it is.
- Do you see it? - Yes, I see it.
Can you do it?
I will give it a try.
Brad is the best.
- Brad is the best. - Yes.
- What is going on? - He doesn't need to be told twice.
This is why brainwashing is scary.
(The characters sing first...)
(and Hyun Min follows.)
- Am I doing it right? - Yes, you are.
You did a good job. Do you think you can do this?
- Shall we sing together? - Yes.
- I will sing Anna's part. - Okay.
Okay.
These are the lyrics.
All my life.
Is this Anna's part?
- This is my part. Let's start over. - Okay.
Let's start over. Give me a second.
- Give me a second. - Okay.
(Let me get into the emotion.)
(He channels Anna.)
It's like a children's musical.
- I am Anna. - Anna.
- Hi. - Hi.
Let's go.
Yes.
(A children's musical, "Love Is an Open Door")
Okay. Can I just say something crazy?
I love crazy.
(All my life has been a series of doors in my face)
(He becomes absorbed in his role.)
My goodness.
(Acting cute)
For goodness' sake.
For goodness' sake. What is going on?
(Struggling)
(Anna supports him by singing in a male voice.)
(And it's nothing like I've ever known before)
(Their duet reaches its climax.)
(Making an eye contact)
What are they doing? Don't make an eye contact.
Why would they make an eye contact?
(Screaming)
(The end)
I think Henry just wanted to sing that song.
He just wanted to sing that song.
He probably didn't have anyone to sing it with.
Amber didn't pick up the phone.
Otherwise, Amber would have sung it with him.
It's fascinating...
because on that day,
I slept 23 hours.
I had a deep sleep.
- My goodness. - I had a deep sleep.
That's Henry's charms.
He is sucking energy out of Hyun Min.
He is like a sleeping pill. He makes you sleep soundly.
Shall we strive to reach perfection this time?
- Okay. - This will help.
Can I say something crazy?
- Crazy. - Crazy.
There is no "Reu" sound in English.
- There is no "Reu" sound. - There is no "Reu" sound.
(He gets smile lines by rolling his tongue.)
Your tongue...
- Make the R sound. - Don't touch his tongue.
(It's hard to may the R sound.)
Let's try it again. Crazy.
- Crazy. - Okay.
- Giggles. Do you know what that is? - Giggles?
- Giggles. - Giggles.
- It's laughing like this. - Giggles.
Giggles. Okay.
"Will you marry me?" Do you know what that means?
Yes. Will you marry me?
That's right.
You will look very cool when you say that line.
"Can I say something crazy?"
Does it mean, "Can I talk like a lunatic?"
Crazy means...
(Laughing)
"Can I talk like a lunatic?"
- It's a children's movie. - Isn't that what it means?
(Is that what it means?)
Koreans are mistaken...
- about the word, "Crazy". - Doesn't it denote insanity?
No, it doesn't.
It can also mean something ridiculous.
Something ridiculous.
- Henry can speak Korean very well. - Henry is a good teacher.
He is teaching English in Korean.
That's right.
"Can I say something crazy?"
That's it.
"Will you marry me?"
That's right. Let's give it a try.
Okay.
Say it to me.
(They move on to the action.)
Can I say something crazy?
(He giggles loudly.)
- He is giggling. - Will you marry me?
Can I say something even crazier?
Yes.
That's how you do it.
What are they doing? This is like "Dumb and Dumber".
I don't understand them.
They should produce a play.
- It can be a children's musical. - You can open it in Daehangno.
That's right.
- We already completed one scene. - Right?
- This is fun. - Let's take it to the start.
(How was Henry's curriculum?)
Acting out a scene helped me out a lot.
Henry continued to ask me...
to act with an exaggerated tone.
Thinking of it as acting...
helped me learn English faster.
It was fun.
It's important to have fun when you learn.
I think it will help to repeat after the lines.
(They repeat after the lines of a series.)
I'm fine.
Totally fine.
(They recreate the scene from "Titanic".)
I'm flying!
(The living room turns into the Atlantic Ocean.)
(They go over what they have learned.)
Will you marry me?
(This is the second marriage proposal of the day.)
Hyun Min is about to pass out.
I slept 23 hours.
I can see why you did that.
I am surprised that you woke up.
"I am surprised that you woke up."
Okay. So, did you learn a lot?
- Did you learn... - "Did you learn?"
a lot?
- A lot? - A lot.
Alive?
- A lot. - A lot?
He is in a daze.
- He is not in his right mind. - No, he isn't.
Yes. Perfect.
Perfect?
Was my answer completely off?
Did you learn a lot?
Did I learn a lot? Yes, I did.
From now on,
if you want to learn English,
don't answer with "Yes".
Let's say I asked, "What did you eat for breakfast?"
Say, "I ate such and such."
- Stretch out the sentence. - I should do that.
He needs to speak in a complete sentence.
That's right. Moreover,
the letters Koreans find the hardest to pronounce are...
- F... - F.
- and R. - R.
Practice it when you meet your friends.
Hey.
F.
(Henry goes over the things Hyun Min finds hard.)
R.
May I have your cell phone?
I will record it.
- The pronunciation? - Yes.
I think you should use it often.
Hello, how are you?
Say, "How are you?"
How are you today? How are you?
Say, "How are you?"
How are you today?
They are completely different.
You said, "How are you today? How are you?"
It's, "How are you?"
- How are you today? - How are you?
- How are you? - How are you?
- How are you? - You did it.
- Did I do it? - You did it.
- You did it just now. - How are you?
It shouldn't touch the roof of your mouth.
(His tongue remained too stiff to make the R sound.)
- How are you? - You did it.
- Did I do it? - You did it.
- You did it just now. - How are you?
One thing is certain. Hyun Min has determination.
Hyun Min has determination.
He tried to correctly pronounce the letter R again and again.
I think there is hope for him.
You can do it.
- I can do it. - You can do it. Who is the best?
Brad is the best.
- Look at the camera and say it. - Brad is the best.
- Brad is the best. - Brad is the best.
(He loves the word "best".)
- They look like cult members. - Right.
They're like cult members.
Then...
- These... - these are useless.
Just burn the books.
(Henry thinks he should burn the books.)
- Really? - Just...
Henry the Cult Leader says, "Burn the books."
- Okay. Practice. - Practice.
Practice.
- Bye. - Bye.
I'll see you next time.
Yes. I hope to see you soon.
- Okay. - Okay.
That was very natural.
Can I say something crazy?
(They review what they studied.)
- Will you marry me? - Yes.
(They're a great team.)
- I'm going. - Bye.
(He graduates from Henry School.)
Henry told me to walk with swag.
Don't do that.
(Please don't do that.)
Don't do that, Hyun Min.
Swag. Swag.
(He walks as if he's walking in Harlem.)
- What's this? - He's the idiot on Garosu-gil.
The idiot on Garosu-gil.
- The idiot on Garosu-gil. - IG.
Soul. Soul.
(He reads the English signage.)
- Coffee. - Coffee.
Tea.
Beer.
- Beer. Coffee. - Please.
- He's a foreigner. - Coffee.
- Goodness. - Goodness.
You should've shouted, "Brad is the best!"
History.
(Brad is crazy about English.)
Books are good,
but like Henry suggested, it's a good idea to practice English...
using an audiovisual aid. It makes learning English fun.
- You're an actor. - Right.
So you will pick up English faster if you try acting in English.
You majored English in school and served in KATUSA.
Did you go to a language high school?
- Really? - Isn't he the master of English?
Because of my background,
people think I speak English well.
But after learning English grammar for 10 years,
you can't speak well.
But you can't serve in KATUSA if you are not fluent in English.
At the time, we took a written test.
My test result was good, so I joined KATUSA.
But I couldn't understand them.
So the American sergeant was scolding me,
and I was smiling.
- You didn't get him. - I didn't understand him.
I answered brightly. "Yes, sir!"
This is the harmful consequence of rote learning.
Yes, it is the harmful consequence of rote learning.
I couldn't hear it.
I think Hye Jin doesn't speak English well,
but she's very confident.
- What did you say? - We saw it the other time.
She said something wrong when she was ordering food.
Nevertheless, she was confident.
What did I say exactly?
I wouldn't know.
You will know when you watch that part again.
What is that?
How am I supposed to remember that?
We will cheer for you, Hyun Min.
We hope your English will improve fast.
I think this is the right timing.
I have something to say.
- What is it? - What do you have to say?
- Is Na Rae Bar closing? - No.
In the first half of the year,
- we've been working so hard. - Yes.
What is summer all about?
It's all about vacation.
Vacation!
- Hawaii. LA. - Do we deserve it?
- Let's go on a vacation. - Let's go on a vacation.
Where do you want to go?
- LA. - New York.
- Maldives. - New York.
- Where? - New York.
- Da Nang. - Da Nang is good.
- California. - Shizuoka.
- Okay. - Shizuoka.
Here's the form.
- I guess we've mentioned it. - Did we mention it?
- Let's have a barbecue party. - Everyone,
- take one each. - What's this?
- It's been a long time. - This is the same paper too.
Is this like a school newsletter?
- It's like that. - Where did you get this paper?
You should read it first.
"Hello, dear members of Rainbow Club."
"The weather has gotten hot,"
"and we get tired easily during this season."
"I wonder if you're healthy."
"I invite you to Summer Na Rae School..."
"which will help you rejuvenate your body and soul."
It will be held from July 10 to 11.
It will be held in Muan-gun of South Jeolla Province.
Why did you ask where we want to go?
We are going to my grandmother's house.
What?
Are you sure we are not going there to help her?
Is this a mistake? Shouldn't it be "4:30pm"?
We will meet at 4:30am at Yongsan Station.
There's no train at that hour.
- There is. - There isn't a train.
So did you already book the train?
I've booked everything.
We're going all the way to South Jeolla Province.
Why do we have to pay 100 dollars?
And there are...
so many things to prepare.
The group t-shirt is...
- already being made. - Really?
It will be delivered to your house.
You have to wear that when you go to Yongsan Station.
Are you joking right now?
- Everyone, calm down. - At my age...
Below the dotted line, there's a table you can fill out.
It's just like what my school used to give out.
Listen, everyone. Don't be too upset.
Give it a thought.
- I just have to check here, right? - Yes.
Decide whether to join it or not and fill this one out.
Once you've done that, rip it out and submit it.
At the bottom, write down your emergency contact number.
- I don't want anyone to see it. - Write contact of a family member.
Why do I need to fill it out when I am 40 years old?
- You need to fill it out. - Really?
- Write your mom's number. - My parents?
Usually, you write your mom's number.
The two idiots are not here.
Just give their forms to me. I will hand it to them.
Do I really need to fill out the emergency contact number?
Of course you do.
But I have to write another person's number, right?
- Write another person's. - Write another person's number.
- Do I have to do that? - Isn't he free that time?
- So we will be able to reach him. - Here you go.
- I filled it out. - Okay.
She will participate because she wants to eat octopus.
Do you want to eat octopus? I will prepare it.
You will be joining. Wait. Wait.
Hyun Moo.
You wrote "Mom" as the emergency contact.
(This is what a 40-year-old man does.)
Is she...
really your mom? Or is she your girlfriend?
She's my mother.
- Goodness. - Why don't you believe me?
Mom, Mother, Mommy...
- Mrs. Jun. - Mrs. Jun.
You save all the women's numbers under those names.
- But that's really my mom. - "Mom".
Here you go.
- I had to write for all 3 of us. - Right.
Si Eon wrote Jae Cheon's number.
I wrote my friend's number.
Henry wrote Amber's number.
Kian84's emergency contact is CJ.
CJ?
(No way.)
(He smiles.)
Choong Jae?
(But his number is crossed out.)
Why did you cross it out?
He wrote Choong Jae's number and then crossed it out.
- Do you know his number? - Hurry.
- Of course he knows. - I know his number.
- What are you doing? - You might be able to see it.
- I might. - Are you checking for forgery?
If you know his number, you should call him.
- He might want to come. - Why don't you call him?
If he comes...
This was what it was for.
No, it's not.
Where did you get this paper?
I'm calling Kian84's friend.
- Is it Choong Jae? - Please cover the number.
- Hello? - Hello.
- Yes? - Hello.
I am Lee Si Eon, one of the three idiots.
- Hello. - Hello, Choong Jae.
I called because...
- we are... - July 10 to 11.
We are going to Summer Na Rae School from July 10 to 11.
It will be held from July 10 to 11.
Is that right?
By any chance, are you interested in joining us?
(He hesitates.)
(Please say yes.)
(What would he say?)
Okay. I'll come.
(Are we finally meeting?)
(Will romantic love begin in a strange place?)
This is being aired,
so you have to keep your word.
Okay.
You can't change your mind.
- Free your schedule. - Is he really coming?
- Here's Hyun Moo. - That was easy.
He's a great man.
- Yes. - It doesn't make him a great man.
Perhaps he thinks we're joking.
Hello, Choong Jae.
- Hello. - It's me, Hyun Moo.
That's what you say.
Can you really make time for it?
Actually,
I need to check my schedule.
All right.
Ask him what he thinks about Na Rae.
- By the way, - Ask him what he thinks of me.
Na Rae expressed her feelings about you on our show.
- Yes. - What do you think about her?
Actually...
(I am a girly girl.)
(What do you think about me, Choong Jae?)
I don't have any opinion about her.
(He doesn't have any opinion.)
What? I didn't hear it.
He doesn't have any opinion.
- He doesn't have any opinion. - He...
Why are you so happy? You are so mean.
He doesn't have any opinion.
- That's possible. - That's possible.
- That's possible. - But you know she's fun.
I saw her several times on TV,
- and she seemed to be very kind. - She's kind.
All right.
Wait.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, I am Na Rae.
- Hello. - Did you inhale helium gas?
We are preparing a lot of things.
Just bring extra underwear and clothes.
Why do you mention underwear first?
- There are many other things. - You had to mention it first.
Goodness, she's perverted.
We prepared a group t-shirt.
- I see. - Yes.
There's no pressure.
Just bring your underwear.
I'll see you then.
Okay.
- Goodness. - That's funny.
Why are you asking us to bring underwear?
- It makes me worried. - We're going to sweat a lot.
- I think we are going to work. - No, you are not.
- It doesn't feel good. - It's not like that.
- Is it not? - It's not like that.
I will make sure to feed you well.
It will be like "Three Meals with Na Rae".
- "Three Meals with Na Rae". - "Three Meals with Na Rae".
We are not going to swear at you, are we?
