Does the heat make you tired?
Is it too hot and humid to fall asleep at night?
Then, watch Radio Star.
My jokes make you laugh.
Yoon Jong Shin, the king of jokes, is here.
I find shocking stories about our guests.
Kim Gu Ra, the story collector, is also here.
And today, I, Jin Young, am here to give you a good laugh...
as the youngest host.
Jin Young is here.
We're going to make you laugh, and help you beat the heat.
This is a high-end talk show that is always funny.
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Our today's special MC is Jin Young of B1A4...
- with a sweet voice. - That's right.
- Please say hello to the viewers. - Jin Young.
Hello. I'm Jin Young of B1A4. I'm happy to be here.
He's like Zico of B1A4.
- Is that so? - Yes. He's a good songwriter too.
He's better than Zico because he's also an actor.
- He's incredibly versatile. - Thank you.
Today, we're going to meet the Avengers of high notes...
who entertain our ears with their explosive passion and energy.
Today's theme is "High Note Singing Experts Special".
He's like a migratory bird.
He appears on variety shows only when he promotes his musical plays.
- It's sad, but we need him here. - That's right.
- He's sly, but we have no choice. - It's because...
he knows what to do on variety shows.
When he appears on variety shows, we know he plays in a new musical.
- He's sly. - Yes.
(The 1st time we met him was 2013.)
(It's so obvious that he's here to promote his musical.)
(I play Robin Hood.)
(I'll tell you about my musical briefly.)
(2 years later, he came back to promote his new musical.)
- He's like a migratory bird. - It's same for Kim Soo Ro.
- But we can't hate him. - Some people love his jokes,
- but some people hate them. - Right.
These days, he takes care of his junior musical actors...
like a social worker for musical actors.
- The nosy Yu Jun Sang. - Yu Jun Sang.
With her beauty and outstanding singing skills,
she attracts the audience as a singer and a musical actress.
She has a boyfriend who is eight years younger than her.
- I know her boyfriend. Ko Eun Sung. - It's Ko Eun Sung.
She succeeded in attracting him. Her attracting skills are the best.
- Ivy! - Ko Eun Sung.
She's dating Eun Sung.
Are you attracting us with your hand gesture?
I'm so embarrassed.
- Why is she making that face? - Exactly.
I guess she attracted Eun Sung with that face.
With her exceptional singing skills, she won "King of Mask Singer"...
five times in a row with a nickname Female Warrior Catgirl.
She gives off charismatic vibes and has an intense look.
She also performed with Yim Jae Beum on "I Am a Singer".
- She has... - That's right.
incredible presence. Cha Ji Yeon.
He's a musical actor whom everyone trusts.
However, he's the least-known star on Radio Star.
- We've never seen him before. - I only heard of his name.
He's a super star who only plays in great musical plays...
like "Mozart!", "Jekyll and Hyde", and "Jesus Christ Super Star".
A great number of people buy tickets for his musicals. Park Eun Tae.
- Park Eun Tae. - Park Eun Tae.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Ivy, it's been a long time.
- Don't be so shy. - Hi, Ji Yeon. You're...
- She's wearing a dress. - You look great.
Are you going to get married after this?
She would be ready for a wedding if she just puts on a veil.
- Gosh. - She looks like she's about to...
- walk down the aisle. - It looks like a wedding dress.
As I came on this show several times,
my introduction became a little unlikable.
- What don't you like about it? - We had nothing else to say.
- You're here to promote your play. - People don't hate my jokes.
Do you think everyone likes them?
Most people like them.
I don't think anyone hates his jokes.
The four great musical actors and actresses are here with us.
Please say hello to the viewers the way you speak in a musical.
- We know it's too much to ask. - Hello, everyone. I'm Yu Jun Sang.
I got a role of Ben-Hur in "Ben-Hur".
I'm not a migratory bird.
I'm here to introduce a great musical play.
I'll introduce "Ben-Hur" today.
- "Ben-Hur". - We asked you to sing. Ben-Hur
- What was that? Ben-Hur - Ben-Hur
I have a big forehead
(Ben-Hur has a big forehead.)
- That's how they sing in a musical. - We don't know it well.
(He sings.)
Is that how you sing in a musical?
(Ben-Hur)
- Awesome. - That was great.
He has a great voice. It doesn't mean to suck in your belly.
It's not "Benner". It's Ben-Hur.
- Ivy, say hello like in a musical. - Okay.
Hello.
I'm Ivy. I play Esther in "Ben-Hur".
- Ivy. - You play Esther.
- That's right. - She plays Esther.
Ji Yeon, please say hello.
Hello. I'm Musical Actress...
(Cha)
Ji Yeon. I'm happy to be here.
- That was traditional Korean music. - Traditional Korean music.
She sang it in a traditional Korean music style.
- Traditional Korean music. - That was nice.
I'm representing the team of "Seopyeonje" today.
- You're not playing in "Ben-Hur"? - No, I'm not.
- She's playing in "Seopyeonje". - You're not on the same team?
- It's 3 on 1. - They have a conscience, at least.
- They have a conscience. - They wouldn't be on the same show.
- They have a conscience. - Do you think so?
Of course. They only sent three of the cast members.
Is it 3 on 1, not 2 on 2?
- Yes. Only I play in "Seopyeonje". - I see.
- Go, "Seopyeonje". - She plays in "Seopyeonje".
3 from "Ben-Hur", 1 from "Seopyeonje".
Eun Tae, please say hello.
Okay. Hello
- He's half-hearted. - That's hard to tell.
- He was contemplating. - Exactly.
(Ben-Hur)
I like his voice.
Jun Sang, this is your third time on Radio Star, right?
- That's right. - You've taken over all talk shows.
You're an expert now.
- He appeared on many shows. - He can stop coming on the shows.
You came on the show with no interesting stories to tell...
- because of Eun Tae. - That's right.
I've performed with Eun Tae before, and he has a lot of experience...
in musical plays. I thought that this would be a good chance...
to let more people know about him.
- I heard a lot about him. - Right?
- Everyone complimented him. - We have the same zodiac sign.
- They have the same zodiac sign. - It's all on the internet.
You can search it on the internet. What else can you tell us about him?
- He was born in 1981. - Is there any story of you 2?
- They'll tell us later. - Right.
Why would you rush it?
Like the segment "Talk Box" of "Seo Se Won Show".
(Laughing)
Eun Tae, this is your first time on a variety show, right?
- Yes, this is my first time. - You said you decided to...
come on the show because you trust your role model, Jun Sang.
- He surprised me. - Yes.
We rehearsed yesterday, and he called me the day before.
He said that because he would be on Radio Star,
he would decrease his volume when singing and saying his lines...
to prevent hoarse voice.
- Because of Radio Star? - Yes, because of this show.
- Because of Radio Show? - Was it really necessary?
The moment he got invited onto this show, he started worrying.
- For Radio Star? - Yes. He protected his voice.
- He put the cart before the horse. - He called me when he got home.
- I like stories like this. - Right.
- Was it okay? - Yes, it was.
Don't evaluate it.
(He's enjoying the situation.)
I found out on the internet that your wife was a girl group member.
That's right. She was a member of Papaya.
- I told you. - Papaya?
You should learn about the guests in the waiting room.
- I had a nice nap. - He always sleeps in there.
- Gosh. - My hair got messy.
I thought she was one of our guests.
- That's how beautiful she is. - Yes.
Is your wife playing a role as your manager?
She's been helping me out because I'm not working with an agency.
Even I'm familiar with his name. He's incredibly famous...
- in the musical industry. - If he's incredibly famous,
does it mean he gets paid a lot too?
- Of course. - I see.
I hear he has a lot of fans.
I heard you have a special reason for appearing on this show...
despite your fear for TV shows.
In fact, I'm here for my parents.
I've been a musical actor for 10 years.
My parents run a store...
- in a market. - I see.
What kind of store is it?
- They sell vegetables. - I see.
However, when they tell the other merchants in the market about me,
none of them knows who I am even though I'm an experienced actor...
who played in famous musicals and won an award.
(He's ruining the excitement from the beginning.)
- I'm worried, Eun Tae. - Is he trying to make us all sad?
I'm worried that you speak so quietly. I'm so worried.
- He's very calm. - Indeed.
- I'm sorry. - Please don't be.
I've been working with a few people like him lately.
- Kai is one of them. - Kai?
- He's also very sensitive. - Is he a singer?
Kai is one of our cast members.
- Oh, he's a musical actor. - He's playing in your musical too?
Eun Tae, Kai, and I got a role of Ben-Hur.
- Eun Tae. - Kai plays in "Ben-Hur".
(Gu Ra is annoyed by his pun.)
As Ji Yeon told us before, she plays in "Seopyeonje",
and the other three play in "Ben-Hur".
That's why she paid a lot of attention to what to wear today.
- I thought... - It's not related to "Seopyeonje".
- You should've worn hanbok. - I know.
I wanted to look like a modern woman who has resentment.
(She burst out laughing.)
I thought I should stand out.
- A resentful modern woman? - Yes.
- I have resentment inside me. - She's a modern woman.
- As a modern woman, - Yes.
I have to compete against three by myself.
So I told myself to stand out.
Instead of split us into two teams...
Our musical "Ben-Hur" is an original musical.
It's been over 100 years since the original novel was published,
so we didn't pay for the royalty. We made it an original musical.
- Is it the same as the old movie? - Yes, it is.
- It has the same story. - "Seopyeonje" is an original one.
The cast members of the two original musical plays are here.
He reads too much into it.
(He's the king of promotion.)
(He promoted his musical once more.)
Jun Sang said...
that it was memorable how he first met Ji Yeon...
who was a huge fan of his at that time.
It was so memorable.
I opened the door of my dressing room.
As soon as I opened it, she screamed my name, "Mr. Yu!"
She looked so excited while saying she was a big fan of mine.
- She made a fuss. - Yes. Then,
- she introduced herself. - She's too tall to do that.
She said she'd been my fan ever since I played in "Grease".
She went on and on.
On the contrary, Ivy said...
that Jun Sang's first greeting left a strong impression.
- I saw his charismatic side... - How did he greet you?
- in his dramas or movies. - Yes.
However, in real life, he's very...
(She glances at him worriedly.)
Should I say he's childish?
- I feel uncomfortable to say that. - Don't worry. Go on.
- He's playful, and he greets... - Being playful is a good thing.
like young people.
- He always does this. - How does he greet?
"Eevy! Eevy! Eevy!"
- He always greets with a fist bump. - He calls you Eevy?
- He calls you Eevy? - Yes. Like this.
I greet her like this saying, "Hi, Eevy."
- He always greets with a fist bump. - Eevy?
There are only two celebrities who call me Eevy.
They're Park Myeong Soo and Jun Sang.
- They have similar sense of humor. - Right.
- "Hi, Eevy." - Eevy.
You like a pun like this.
No. I never make puns like that.
(He differentiates himself from them.)
Jun Sang is playing in the drama, "Falsify".
- That's right. - He's playing in the musical too.
You must be very busy.
Namkoong Min plays the most important role in "Falsify", right?
My role is important too.
(I'm sorry.)
It must be physically hard.
Jong Shin and I are going to turn 50...
- That's right. - next year.
- So... - I'll be in my 50s soon.
There are many fight scenes in "Ben-Hur".
It's so hard.
I play in a sword fight scene with actors in their 20s.
When they swing their swords, I get pushed two steps back.
They're so strong.
There's a scene where I run holding a baby in my arms.
Whenever I hold the baby...
(He grunts.)
- It's hard not to grunt. - I grunt when I put the baby down.
The director asked me if I could do it without making any noise.
(Can't you do it without grunting?)
- He asked me not to grunt. - You're Ben-Hur.
I said I would try not to grunt.
(Grunting)
- I couldn't help but grunt. - It's hard not to make that noise.
Eun Tae, you must've realized that it's so hard for him.
You're 12 years younger than him.
You must feel bad for him.
You must feel sad and miserable.
(He's knocked down.)
It was when I was playing in the musical "Elisabeth".
Just like Ji Yeon did to Jun Sang...
Jun Sang screamed, "You must be Park Eun Tae!"
He ran to me, and kicked me when we met for the first time.
- He did? - You must be Park Eun Tae
He ran from the other end of the corridor.
He kicked me even before I greeted him.
- I couldn't even breathe. - He was full of energy.
He was full of energy.
It's different now. When we do push-ups or sit-ups together,
I slow down for him.
That's how different he is now.
Still, he has a body looking like a man in his 20s.
Yes. His body is more muscular than mine to begin with.
- He has tight and toned abs. - Is that so?
He showed me his abs too.
He said he'd let me take a peek.
He lifted up his shirt, and I got very surprised.
He uses up his energy to maintain his muscles.
(Gu Ra throws cold water on it.)
- That's why he grunts easily. - He's tired from working out.
That's why he grunts when he holds the baby.
(This is how his body currently looks.)
(His abs look perfect.)
Last time, Jun Sang reenacted an action scene.
He said he would demonstrate the fight with a spear and a shield,
and asked for computer graphics. Let's watch it.
("The Days Special" in April 2013)
That's good. You knocked him down.
(Reverse turning kick!)
- Great. - He's good.
(He introduced the new world of martial arts.)
- A spear and a shield. - The computer graphics were great.
- You got surprised, right? - Our staff members are good.
- I was surprised. - Right.
Thanks to that, a lot of people came to see my musical.
We got some offers from some movie production companies.
(He's telling a ridiculous lie.)
For B movies.
(He's joking.)
- Please show us. - Okay.
Because I play in "Ben-Hur"...
We'll add graphics as you want.
First, please draw a shield on my left arm.
It's on my arm now, right? Okay.
- Now... - It's on his arm.
- There should be a long spear. - Okay.
Add a sword around my waist.
I'm all set now.
I'll reenact the last scene where I've killed everyone...
except for one.
It's an 1 on 1 fight scene.
I walk towards him.
When I spear him, he blocks it with his shield.
(He tells details.)
- I'm sorry. - It's okay. Go on.
- Can I tell them details? - Yes. The viewers are watching.
I'll begin with the first encounter.
He's walking towards me. I take one step to the side.
(I take one step to the side.)
1, 2, 3, 4.
- That's how I make my moves. - Okay.
There are four moves in this.
- Make sure he blocks my attacks. - There should be a soldier, right?
- Yes. - His opponent.
- Okay. - He blocked my attacks, right?
He swings his sword towards me.
I dodge his attack.
I block his next attack, kick it, and hit him.
He steps backwards.
Connect the moves.
- Okay. Here we go. - Connect the moves.
(He makes the sound effects.)
(He imitates the sounds.)
(This is a fight against myself and the invisible enemy.)
- He steps backwards again. - I see.
Let's skip the part where I lose my shield.
Okay.
- We don't have enough time. - Okay.
- I threw my shield on the ground. - We can't see it all.
I raise my sword.
He comes up to you now.
(He makes the sounds effects again.)
(It sounds like "toilet paper" and "bird".)
(Suddenly, he floats like a bird and stings like a bee.)
- This is how it ends. - I see.
- I see. - Eun Tae, show us a bit.
- Eun Tae. - You do the rest.
- You should show us something too. - You do it.
- Tell us what graphics you want. - Right.
- He's 12 years younger than him. - Do the next part.
- Tell us what you need. - You can do the same part.
- I'll do the same part. - It's the younger actor's version.
I have a shield on my arm.
(Are computer graphics added to this video?)
What do you want to do?
(It's hard to understand.)
He reenacted the same scene. They play the same character.
- Was it the same scene? - Yes.
Does he usually just sing?
Why is his voice so thin?
(Teasing and laughing)
- Sit down. - I mean..
For his reputation,
- please delete that part. - He sings better than acting.
You majored in classical singing, right?
No, I didn't.
What else will you show us?
- Go ahead. - Until when should we see this?
- Our staff members must be tired. - I'll do the rest of the scene...
They're supposed to go on vacation.
- This is the last scene. - They must be...
- Why don't you... - It's possible only on MBC.
Can you show us the whole scene at once?
- I'll show you the whole scene. - Okay.
(The last fight)
He's going to attack him.
(He makes the sound effects.)
- That's amazing. - He's good.
(He keeps making the sound effects.)
(He transforms into a super hero.)
And then, I lose my shield.
Let's skip that part.
(However, as his fight doesn't seem to end,)
Take this!
(the computer graphics team members went home.)
(The whole team is gone for vacation.)
Take this.
And then he falls.
- Then, I... - How much longer will he continue?
- It became annoying. - That was way too long.
We add sound effects as well as graphics.
(Why did he make the sounds?)
We won't add any sound effects.
- We have sound effect sources. - I understand.
Our staff members might become playful,
and make him look like Wong Fei Hung.
Please don't do that.
- Our musical is set in Rome. - Do you not like it?
- No, I don't. - No?
Can you do it just for a moment?
- No. - He doesn't want it.
- Just for a moment. - Briefly?
Yes, briefly.
(He ended up in transforming into Wong Fei Hung.)
- Ji Yeon, do you want any graphics? - I don't think she does.
I just need a cane because I'm blind.
Is there any fight scene...
- In "Seopyeonje"? - Musical instruments float, or...
Not at all. I just need some pieces of cloth hung around me.
(I just need some pieces of cloth hung around me.)
Jun Sang, are you going to do belly dance too?
- I was... - In "Ben-Hur",
- I was... - 30 muscular men dance...
- belly dance together. - I was considerate of Jun Sang.
Let's talk with someone else before that.
- Okay. You must be tired. - Let's see his belly dance later.
- Let's see his belly dance later. - Okay. He used up...
- his energy for the fight scene. - That's right.
Then, how about Eun Tae shows us the belly dance instead?
You two play the same character.
We don't dance though.
While we're talking about it, I'll show it now.
- Okay. - Why don't you two dance together?
- No. - Dance together.
- Let me explain. - He doesn't want Eun Tae to dance.
It's the 1st scene in the 2nd act.
In Rome, men desired other men, not women.
That's true.
For the first time in musical history,
All of the supporting actors are men.
There's no female member.
- Is that true? - In the 1st scene in the 2nd act,
they do belly dance...
They do the dance of the Roman Era.
- You don't dance. - No, I don't.
- The dance is enchanting. - I see.
That's the dance you are going to show us today.
I think it will be nice if all of us can dance together.
- You want us to dance. - Yes.
- Come on. - Hold on.
Will people want us?
- Since it's a group dance, - Tell us what we need to do.
everyone gathers around to dance.
Gu Ra will stand at the front.
Why should I dance when Eun Tae won't?
It looks great when a group of people dance together.
- Eun Tae should dance too. - All right.
- Please come on out. - Okay.
- Please come on out. - Sure.
Teach us the basic moves.
We don't usually move this much in Radio Star.
Let's do as we are told.
- Take the front. - Stand in the middle.
Many people will want you.
- Are we making a triangle? - Yes, we are.
Is the music ready?
You need to tell us what to do before the music plays.
- Teach us the moves. - This is what you are going to do.
(Humming)
(Hula, hula)
- This is how you dance. - Am I doing it right?
Then you move your hip like this.
Is that something we can do?
(Laughing)
- Give us a demonstration. - He is using us...
to promote the musical.
We don't know how to dance like that.
- Dance in front of us. - You need to turn around.
- We will follow your lead. - I think I have an idea.
All right. We will follow your lead.
(They sway as if they are in a trance.)
(What are we doing here?)
What is this?
(What is this?)
(It's like a tai chi class at the mountain.)
What is this?
(Bounce, bounce)
(Gyrating)
- Don't do that. - He used us.
This is too much.
I thought you are the one who dances in the musical.
- We got roped into it. - Listen.
- When 30 people dance together, - It must look cool.
- it's a grand sight. - I have a question.
Do men show skin in the musical?
They show a lot of skin in the musical.
Despite being close to 50,
you show difficult stunts on the stage.
However, you say it's harder to dance to "TT".
I have a concert...
with Um Ki Joon, Min Young Ki, and Kim Pub Lae.
- Kim Pub Lae. - Kim Pub Lae.
During the concert,
we cover an idol group's dance.
Last time, we danced to "Pick Me".
Pick me, pick me, pick me up
We danced to "Pick Me".
This time, we danced to "TT".
- Twice is popular in Japan. - We practiced the dance.
Practicing the dance improved our teamwork in "Ben-Hur".
We learned the moves so easily.
- That makes sense. - We learned faster than anyone...
- after the idol group's dance. - Let's see you dance to "TT".
Let's see it.
I have never seen a senior actor visit the show...
- with such thorough preparations. - Jun Sang is the best.
Jun Sang has a pattern.
He works hard in the beginning to secure enough screen time.
Then he rests towards the end.
That's the pattern he shows in every program.
- Please go up to the front. - "TT".
(Jun Sang's show time continues.)
I am worried that I wouldn't do a good job.
Please use computer graphics...
to add Um Ki Joon, Min Young Ki, and Kim Pub Lae.
- You can dance without them. - Okay.
- Let me check first. - All right.
TT
(Please wait while he practices the dance.)
- He is a funny man. - I am ready.
("TT" by Yu Jun Sang)
(Ta-da)
(His facial expression is that of an idol singer.)
He is good.
(He is perfectly in sync.)
(He might as well be a new member of Twice.)
(Are you watching, Twice?)
(He arms himself with cuteness.)
He is cute.
(Peek-a-boo)
(Compared to Twice, he doesn't lack in any way.)
(He is a cute man who will soon turn 50.)
(He falls into a trance.)
(He is the 10th member of Twice.)
- He's good with the rhythm. - You don't know how I feel
You are so mean, you are so mean
(Loud)
He planned it with the production crew.
(He ends the performance at camera number 2.)
- He must have rehearsed it. - You're right.
- They lowered the volume once. - They lowered the volume.
He knew which camera to look at.
- They lowered the volume once. - "You are so mean."
The senior actors on variety shows should be ashamed of themselves.
They should be as prepared as Jun Sang.
Most come without any plan.
He is incredible.
- He is incredible. - Like Ivy said, he is cute.
- Isn't he cute? - Yes, he is.
You are so cute.
I think you are the oldest person who danced to "TT" on TV.
(I think you are the oldest person who danced to "TT" on TV.)
Unlike Yun Sang, who is flippant to a fault,
- Eun Tae is very serious. - He is very serious.
I heard other people find it hard to talk to him.
- Did you have to call me flippant? - Yes.
Flippant and nosy.
I am quite serious.
(Laughing)
Laughing like that doesn't make you serious.
That's not what makes you serious.
He seems to be very shy.
I am embarrassed.
Eun Tae is the first Korean musical actor...
to debut in Europe.
By receiving a standing ovation from the audience,
you showed the power of Korea.
I was invited as a guest to Uwe Kroger's concert.
I sang in Korean at the theater in Austria.
If you lack the talent,
the audience in Austria boos...
or refuses to clap.
That's what it's like in Austria.
When I sang, they gave me a standing ovation.
It must have been a good show.
Which song did you sing?
It's "Can't Escape My Destiny" from "Mozart!"
- That's what I sang. - I saw him sing it on the stage.
I was transfixed. At the end of the song,
the line goes, "I can't escape my destiny"
- Was he like a dolphin? - He was better than a dolphin.
He was better than a dolphin.
Will he put dolphin to shame?
What are you talking about?
He cried out and hit high notes.
The last note continues on for 20 or 30 seconds.
- He lasts longer than a dolphin. - That's incredible.
Let's hear him hit a high note.
(He can hit a high note without a waver.)
Not many people can sing like him.
He is completely different from Kim Pub Lae.
Kim Pub Lae's voice is very low.
Let me make a prediction about what will happen next year.
Um Ki Joon, Min Young Ki, Kim Pub Lae, and I...
will visit Radio Star before their debut in China.
- I am giving you a heads up. - You are giving us a heads up.
He is making a reservation for next year.
(There hasn't been anyone like him.)
Eun Tae, would you sing a bit of a song from "Ben-Hur"?
- May I go ahead and sing? - Of course you may.
- He is polite. - He really is.
- Seriously. - He is polite.
- He is an outstanding man. - He is.
(They don't know)
(What they are doing)
(He sings differently from the way he hit high notes.)
(His appealing voice captivates the ears.)
(Absorbed)
What became of the knife in my heart?
(His refreshing voice spreads without a waver.)
(Bravo)
- He sings a bit like a rocker. - That's right.
You sing a bit like a rocker.
(The idol of the musical industry has incredible talent.)
Are there many things to see in "Ben-Hur"?
There are a lot to see.
- First of all... - Why are you promoting the musical?
I am not.
- It's not in the script. - It's not in the script.
Did you plan this out when you whispered among yourselves?
I told him...
that "Flaming Youth" is very fun. I watch it without missing a day.
Did his compliment make you want to promote his musical?
(Laughing)
- It seems that way. - They made an exchange.
Are there many things to see in "Ben-Hur"?
- A lot of money went into it. - I see.
The ship sinks once.
- Then the rowers row. - Does it happen on the stage?
- Yes, it does. - That's incredible.
Then comes the chariot race.
- How will it look on the stage? - We worked hard to make it happen.
Do you use people in horse masks?
- That's what happened 20 years ago. - I'm curious too.
How will "Ben-Hur" of the present recreate the chariot race?
Do you use horses from "Popopo"?
- That doesn't sound right. - You don't, right?
Do you use the system they use with the indoor horse race?
(It's just as unlikely.)
Horse number four.
A lot of staff members are researching.
I heard that the matter...
brought the experts together.
Are the experts putting their heads together?
They are putting their heads together.
Would you show that with computer graphics?
He needs to go easy on the computer graphics.
(We made a simple image.)
From a sexy singer who seduces man,
Ivy became a successful musical actress.
You say you pass the auditions with too much visuals.
- What do you mean by that? - The thing is,
I was mostly in licensed musicals.
For licensed musicals,
the production crew from Broadway comes to give auditions.
They don't know the language.
They don't speak Korean.
They don't care if I am a celebrity or not.
The moment I show up, I have to make them think...
I am the one even before I sing.
I wear a perfect costume that is good enough...
- for the stage. - Ivy has...
- proportionate body. - When I do that,
the judges love it.
- You pass the audition right away. - They love my readiness.
People say,
"You have splendid looks."
They say that my looks can be too much.
They don't think I need to worry about dressing up...
because I have splendid looks.
Ivy, you aren't wearing any makeup, right?
- Excuse me? - Aren't you?
I am wearing a full face of makeup.
You have great skills. Your face look bare.
- Really? - I think I passed by you earlier.
- Yes. - I am joking.
- I am even wearing false eyelashes. - The thing is,
even when she attends practice in a bare face,
- she looks the same. - She is pretty.
I never attended practice in a bare face.
- Really? - Yes.
(Shocked)
Ivy, is there a ritual you have...
before taking the stage with your partner?
Is it for a kiss scene?
Yes. Ever since I was little,
I worried a lot about having a bad breath.
I brush my teeth in complicated steps.
There are different steps.
- Firstly, I floss my teeth. - You floss your teeth.
- You floss your teeth. - Then I brush my teeth.
- Then... - I have a dental floss.
How do you use it?
How do you use it? I use a long string of dental floss.
- I cut it short. - I cut it long.
In front of us, he goes, "What did you do yesterday?"
I don't do that.
- You should floss in the bathroom. - I don't do that.
- When did I do this? - He talks like that.
- "What did you do?" - When did I do that?
- Then comes Waterpik. - I use Waterpik.
- Then I use a mouthwash. - A mouthwash.
- Lastly, I chew gum. - You chew gum.
I put a lot of care into it.
Also, I make sure I don't have a booger.
- A booger in your nose. - When you notice a booger...
- during the performance, - It dangles.
- you can't help but look at it. - It dangles.
- It moves when the person breathes. - It dangles.
- I also trim my nose hair. - Nose hair.
I use the nose hair trimmer men use.
Once you use it, you can't stop using it.
- That's right. I used it every day. - Otherwise, it grows this long.
I always trim my nose hair before the performance.
I always check.
Also, I use the most powerful deodorant.
I use a powerful one that makes my armpits tingle.
I always use that.
When there is a dance in the musical,
male actors touch my armpits to lift me up.
It won't feel good if my armpits are wet.
You are Seo Jang Hoon's ideal type.
- She is Seo Jang Hoon's ideal type. - She has a boyfriend.
I know she does. I am just saying she is Seo Jang Hoon's ideal type.
I didn't say anything else.
- They lift you up by the armpits. - That's right.
No one should lift up Psy.
His armpits are always wet.
- Most actors... - Water will drip from his armpits.
"Water is dripping."
(Completely wet)
Ji Yeon, the star of "Seopyeonje"...
has been in the same musical for seven years...
- without fail. - I am on my eighth year.
This will be my fourth time to join the production.
Is there a reason why you did that?
There aren't many musical actresses...
- who can do pansori. - Did you major in pansori?
I majored in percussion.
- You majored in percussion. - Yes, I learned drumming...
- for pansori performances. - I see.
My grandfather is a human cultural asset.
- Really? - Yes.
My uncle is a local cultural asset.
I couldn't carry on the family line because I am a woman.
- That's why I changed... - They are like a royal family.
- my career path. - Don't all them a royal family.
The description doesn't go well with traditional Korean music.
They are like the high officials.
Don't call them a royal family.
I accumulated deep sorrow in life.
- Deep sorrow? - That's right.
Thankfully, I relieve it on the stage these days.
- I unleash my emotions. - Why do you have deep sorrow?
- Seriously. - No matter what song I sing,
people say it sounds sad. Even if I sing a cheerful song,
- it sounds sad. - It's a blessing for singers.
- Really? - Not everyone have that talent.
Would you sing a cheerful song?
- A cheerful song? - Yes.
Sing the birthday song.
(Happy birthday to you)
- It's sad. - She made it sad.
(Happy birthday)
- It's sad. I shouldn't sing it. - It's sad.
I need to be careful.
Ji Yeon, did you get married when you were on "King of Mask Singer"?
- Did you get married then? - Yes.
I got married right before my second appearance.
- Really? - My wedding was the day before.
- Really? - After the wedding,
my husband and I should have done the deed.
- The deed. - That's right.
You get one wedding night in your life.
However, my husband didn't do anything to protect me.
- He told me to get some rest. - Your husband told you that.
I went to bed with the humidifier on...
- and had the shoot the next day. - She came right after a wedding.
- It was the very next day. - After the wedding,
you need to count the money.
We didn't get to do it right away.
A while later, we sat down together to count the money.
We counted the money with precision.
The wedding would have made news had it come after the revelation.
It would have been the talk of the town.
I know. That's unfortunate.
Couldn't you postpone it?
Are you saying she should have postponed a wedding for a program?
- Listen. - Don't be ridiculous.
- It's not like that. - For goodness' sake.
Listen to your elder.
(Listen)
You could have gotten married after "King of Mask Singer".
I didn't think I would last that long.
I thought it would be nice to get eliminated early on...
so that I can sing a meaningful song...
after I remove my mask.
There were two kings of mask singer.
- That's right. - You remember. There was Gummy.
- Cho Jang Hyuk. - There were two kings.
I thought I didn't stand a chance, but I ended up winning.
"This shouldn't happen."
- "I need to get married." - "Next week is my wedding."
I had a wedding photo shoot coming up.
- You had so many things to do. - I was practicing for "Rebecca".
"What is going on?"
I couldn't believe I won when I had so many things to do.
I had planned to go on a honeymoon after I get eliminated,
but I won again.
- Then it got out of my hands. - "What's going on?"
You couldn't go on a honeymoon.
I couldn't go on a honeymoon. Then I got pregnant.
You had to do the deed.
- That's right. - You were very busy.
Excuse me.
She didn't wear a mask for an entire week.
Did you become pregnant when you were on the show?
- You had to care about your health. - I became pregnant towards the end.
- That's when you became pregnant. - That's right.
"King of Mask Singer" was like a blessing.
It was the important time of your life.
I don't think she has deep sorrow in her life.
I don't think she does.
- It comes out when I sing. - You don't have deep sorrow,
but good cheer.
(She is brimming with good cheer.)
Eun Tae is the superstar of big musical productions...
such as "Mozart!", "Jekyll and Hyde", and "Jesus Christ Superstar".
Do you mostly perform at big theaters?
Yes. Thanks to the opportunities,
I mostly perform at big theaters.
Eun Tae and I debuted at the same year...
through the same musical. We were trainees together too.
- Are you friends? - In fact...
- Yes. - In 2006,
the panelist of "King of Mask Singer",
Kim Hyun Chul...
became my president.
- You are no longer in his agency. - We were trainees together there.
I am sure Eun Tae doesn't remember.
I signed a contract with that agency in 2004.
I was a singer at the agency.
Kim Hyun Chul said that...
he discovered a gem one day and brought Eun Tae.
He received a lot of love.
- He received a lot of love. - Eun Tae did?
That's when you came to have deep sorrow.
The deep sorrow I have... Anyway, thank you.
- She decided to end Hyun Chul. - Since it's in the past,
I can tell you what happened.
I struggled a lot back then.
You worked hard in the past two years.
I guess he didn't see a potential in me.
- Why did you point to your face? - The potential...
- I am self-conscious about my face. - It's about personality.
- Anyway... - That can't be true.
- Seriously. - Even I could tell...
that Eun Tae can sing very well. On top of having a beautiful voice,
he was composed and knowledgeable.
- He received a lot of love. - You wanted to be a singer.
Yes. I was a singer at the agency.
When the new singers came to talk about signing a contract,
I made coffee.
(She even made coffee.)
- She has deep sorrow. - I am serious.
I can name the singers I saw back then.
- Who came? - You made coffee for them.
Sung Si Kyung, Gil Gun...
- Gil Gun. - There were many others.
- It left deep sorrow. - I think...
Ji Yeon misunderstood.
She might have thought that I was on my way to success,
but there was another trainee. Hyun Chul had promised...
to release an album for the best one among us.
- In the end... - We didn't get to debut.
We suddenly auditioned for "The Lion King".
I don't know what he said to Eun Tae,
but when I told Hyun Chul that I will go to the audition,
- he said mean things to me. - What did he say?
"Do you think you will get a part? Will you be able to do it?"
- Will this be published? - No worries.
Everyone who visits the show talks about these things.
- That's right. - Park Jin Young...
says terrible things to his singers.
He says, "I want to dump you in a trash can."
- Hyun Chul isn't the worst. - He isn't vicious or anything.
- No, he isn't. - I guess...
- I really didn't have a potential. - You were hurt.
I became a supporting actress for my first musical.
That's when I left the agency.
(My goodness.)
It was the right decision. That's how fate works.
I was in Lee Bong Won's agency.
Be One Entertainment.
The agency didn't do anything for me.
After I left the agency, things started to look up.
When we meet these days, he says I was his first employee.
- I like him now. - That's right.
It's all in the past.
- That's right. - To be honest,
I understand why she left the agency.
She received a big role for "The Lion King".
I played the rhino's front legs.
- The rhino's front legs. - Yes.
You should use computer graphics for this.
- Computer graphics! - I held...
the rhino's head in front of me.
My legs were the rhino's front legs.
I moved the rhino like that.
That was your role in "The Lion King".
Why didn't you release an album?
She might not know this.
But Hyun Chul complimented Ji Yeon a lot to me.
He told me that I was not as groovy or soulful as Ji Yeon.
The criticism I got the most when I sang was this.
He told me when I sang,
I pronounced the lyrics too clearly.
- He meant you were not groovy? - Yes.
By nature, you are very upstanding.
When I started to appear in musicals,
- It was a strong point, wasn't it? - this became my strength.
You and Hyun Chul weren't meant to get along.
You can't do anything about that.
Are you not starring on "King of Mask Singer" because of him?
- No, it's not that. - Then we'll kick out Hyun Chul.
Don't let him affect you.
- Give him a few days off. - Sure.
(He's forced to be on holidays.)
I have a question.
He said he played the front leg of a rhino.
Do you remember the role? Like the song or the lines?
I didn't have lines. I only spoke in African language.
How did you do it?
(Pretending to speak one of African languages)
(Feeling embarrassed)
I think the people in back were...
When I was saying this line,
Ji Yeon lifted a plush toy, Simba.
She moved to the front and sang her solo looking so cool.
It was the scene in which every animal looked at her...
- and said their lines. - I was a monkey magician...
that gathered all the animals.
- She did a fantastic job. - A monkey and a rhino met.
That's right.
(A monkey magician and a rhino)
Eun Tae showed you this earlier. What he said was...
in a lot of our songs.
As for me, I had to include this sound a lot...
when I said my lines.
(Intriguing)
(Flicking)
- It was something like this. - We make that sound to...
- suggest drinking. - Park Na Rae does that a lot.
(Na Rae often makes the sound.)
- She uses this for drinking. - After this, do you want to drink?
(Do you want to drink at my bar today?)
I heard many people were jealous of you after your debut.
Really?
Yes, that's true.
- If you debut suddenly, it happens. - You're right.
It's because I didn't have any experience in musicals.
- In what ways were they jealous? - That broke my heart.
At that time, we brought our own food from home.
The food wasn't provided during the practice.
- It was included in our pay. - I see.
I always ate on the floor of my dressing room.
I can't say who it is. An actor came into the room...
and told me that I was annoying even when I was eating.
So that actor kicked the lunch box.
- Oh, my. No way. - That was too harsh.
- No one knows, but it did happen. - That's too mean.
I was trying my best just to make a living for myself.
- Why... - You thought that wasn't necessary.
Yes, the hazing was just too much.
- It's the 21st century. - 21st century.
That's right.
But the musical was set in Africa.
(It's a jungle there.)
Besides, you were all animals.
- Is the actor still active? - That was too much though.
- How can someone kick her food? - I agree.
I believe so. I think so.
- Right now, I'm fine. - I see.
- If that happens again, tell me. - Yes.
That won't happen now, hopefully.
- Now, it doesn't. - Now, you have a lot of experience.
Jun Sang is always doing his best...
to improve the welfare system...
in the musical industry.
I heard you always bought snacks during the shows,
and because of that, you are about to go bankrupt.
I heard he complained about this.
- Senior actors have to buy more. - They do.
- I think that's how it should be. - How much do you buy?
How many people are in "Ben-Hur"?
There are about 50 people.
- What do you usually buy? - I bet it's bread.
- Is it? - This time, he bought us powder.
I changed to protein powder since we have to build muscles.
- You changed to protein powder. - Yes.
That's pretty expensive, isn't it?
Yes, it is. Every month, I spend about 1,500 to 2,000 dollars.
- On snacks? - Yes, and I have the crew too.
- You have a lot of money. - But the thing is...
I think he cares about his junior actors a lot.
In order to guarantee their time for the last bus or train,
you shortened the showtime by five minutes.
Within those 5 or 10 minutes at the end of the show,
- They'd miss the bus or train. - they miss the last bus or train.
- Not everyone has a car. - That's right.
You didn't think to borrow a bus for them?
(Well...)
- I will think about that now. - You can borrow an express bus.
They all live in different areas. How will they get home?
He can just charter the bus and the bus can go around Seoul.
You can put your face on the bus.
Put a line that says, "This is Jun Sang's treat."
(This is Jun Sang's treat.)
Ji Yeon, you earned the reputation...
- Wait. He's really good. - Sorry?
- He leads the conversations well. - He's good.
(Feeling shy)
So far, he focused...
on his job as a host the most among other special hosts.
When I watch your show,
the special hosts usually talk to the hosts a lot...
- because they feel awkward. - He knows when to speak up.
From my observation, he also says lines that are not in the script.
Like the time he said that he had a question.
- He did that? - And...
you didn't criticize him even once.
- We didn't. - I think he asks questions...
better than Jong Shin.
When I listened to B1A4's albums, I thought that...
- he's a great songwriter. - He's a genius and as good as Zico.
- He has a great voice. - Zico of B1A4.
But you haven't starred in any musicals yet, have you?
No, I haven't.
- I really hope I can work with you. - Really?
- You are so good. - If I can do it, it'd be my honor.
I think he'll do well too.
He resembles the actor, Kim Won Hae.
(Is that a compliment?)
Is it time for you to keep him in check?
(He complimented Jin Young enough.)
No.
Ji Yeon, you earned the reputation of a female warrior in musicals.
But you could've been an online singer which is ridiculous.
Was it...
- Hyun Chul's idea? - No, it was before I met him.
- An online singer? - It was way before I met him.
Someone offered to her together. So I went to record.
Inside the recording booth, there was a dummy that engineers...
used to inspect cars' safety.
It was right in the middle of the booth.
Usually, we sang to the microphone inside.
But I was told to roam around freely.
The dummy can sense locations.
When the dummy hears my song, it knows.
It was the first dummy that can do that in the world.
It was like a 3D dummy?
Yes, so I sang on my stomach.
(She was on the floor.)
I sang on my stomach and tried different positions.
I did all sorts of things. I sang like that for a while.
In the end, he disappeared with my money.
- He bought the dummy with it. - I guess so.
He disappeared.
- That happened to you. - You were bound to have resentment.
If they ask you for money, it's a 100 percent scam.
I didn't know.
You said you did everything you could in order to make a living.
- That's right. - You dressed up as Miss Yangyang.
I did all sorts of part-time jobs.
- Among them... - Isn't it famous for chili peppers?
I had to sell organic king oyster mushrooms.
Mushrooms from Yangyang?
- The job was only for 3 days. - For 3 days?
It wasn't a good match.
I have broad shoulders, but I had to wear hanbok.
I had to wear the sash that says, "Miss Yangyang".
Everyone can see that I'm not the pageant girl.
I was so embarrassed to wear the sash.
I couldn't sell one because I had my head down out of embarrassment.
- It must've been hard. - You did a lot of things.
- You suffered a lot. - What else have you done?
Were you a trot singer too?
- They said my voice was soulful. - Was that a scam too?
But the place was too shabby.
We even recorded the song with the karaoke machine.
I sang the best I could. When I came back the next day, they were gone.
You didn't lose money?
I lost about 3,000 dollars.
- You lost the money? Goodness. - That's a lot of money.
You don't like you'd be scammed easily.
- I think she'd be scammed a lot. - No, I'm really naive.
I look quite scary,
- but I'm naive. - As we talk more, you sound dumb.
(Laughing)
You were in a rap project from SM Entertainment.
- I was in it briefly long ago. - What was the song?
The song was "My Show".
I was in the song for a few seconds. You can't count that as rapping.
But you should rap for us though.
Goodness. This is embarrassing.
- Do it on the stage. - I should do something.
- Then okay. - She's in a dress, but she'll rap?
- I'm wearing a dress. - There's nothing wrong with that.
Since there's no one to help me, I'll just help myself.
- What do you mean? - I'll hold the dress myself.
I see. You'll hold it yourself.
I think I should do something. I'm the only one from "Seopyeonje".
- All right. - In the song...
I don't remember the lyrics. I'll rap about three lines.
- She... - I'll give this a shot.
I should lower the tail of my dress.
(She's all over the place.)
(Looking forward to her performance)
(From the start, her performance is intense.)
(It was normal, I felt nothing)
It was something like this.
I'd like to hear more.
- You have to do a bit more. - I don't remember the lyrics.
I don't know the lyrics, but I can do Sang Min's rap.
No female singers have done his crying rap.
Put your soul in it.
(The point is to put the rapper's sadness and soul into the rap.)
- Okay. That's good. - I've never seen someone do it.
I don't know the lyrics,
- but I know the feel. - That's right.
(Rapping with no lyrics)
(She says whatever she thinks of.)
(You, idiot)
(She starts running away in embarrassment.)
I'm sorry. I can't do it. I shouldn't have done it.
(It was soulful and exciting.)
- Goodness. - But it was funny.
Gosh, that was funny.
I'm usually good at it.
- I had an afternoon show today. - I saw this in the dressing room.
- I see. - Gosh, I'm dizzy.
This is how she's a bit all over the place.
(By just a little)
Ji Yeon, you started to garner attention from film industry too.
When you appeared in "The Treacherous",
you ended up getting sex education.
"The Treacherous"! Didn't you play Nok Su?
We hear that you got proper sex education.
Weren't you the narrator of the film?
- That's right. I chanted the song. - She was good.
For the narration, I sang the Korean narrative song.
It wasn't pansori though. That's how I narrated the film.
You should watch it.
(In the film, "The Treacherous", with her melodious singing voice,)
(she led the narration powerfully from the start.)
What do you mean that you got sex education?
The last scene is a highlight of the film.
If you watched the film, you'd know. I don't know if I should say this.
- It's fine. - Go ahead.
In the scene, there are women...
who are making love.
That's right. They did.
There were two actresses.
- Lee You Young was one of them. - They made love passionately.
But they filmed the scene for an entire day.
In that scene, I appear for about 0.5 second.
Because of that, I was there the whole time for eight hours.
But...
I've never seen such scenes before my eyes.
- That... - But you were in the scene.
I was supposed to enjoy watching them.
I couldn't look away or look at something else,
but I couldn't keep watching.
(Part 2 where you can't look away will air shortly.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the best musical actors and actresses in Korea.
Jun Sang is also actively performing as a singer.
He released 2 LP records and 6 CDs,
but this is sort of volunteer work for you, isn't it?
- Sure, but I don't donate a lot. - I get that.
Is there a financial goal with your singing career?
It's a way for me to fulfill my dream.
A lot of people don't know...
- that I released albums. - That's true.
- I write songs on my trips. - I noticed that.
- On your trips? - You bring a guitarist with you.
On the trips, we also busked.
That got improved, and we started to write songs for films.
Jecheon International Music and Film Festival invited us.
- Your song was nominated? - Yes.
- What's the title? - "Things That I Learn from You".
- He's showing. - Exactly.
Did you prepare this?
It's not that. When I was talking...
You brought them yourself?
I didn't show you the LP records.
He takes it out instantly.
- Hey. - Now...
This kind of format has never existed in Korea before.
Everyone can release just an LP record.
But I put in my film.
"Things That I Learn from You".
This package comes with the DVD.
When you open this up,
the DVD is placed here.
- My film. - You almost sound like a salesman.
- Why are you selling us that? - No.
- These days... All of a sudden... - I sold everything.
You can't do this here!
People do that on a home-shopping network.
(Please give me a call.)
Goodness, he has so many things to promote.
- Why do you have so many things? - It's that...
- He brings a basketful of projects. - He does.
(Jun Sang is like a peddler who wants to promote his projects.)
It might sound a bit offensive,
but I heard thanks to your firm head, there were times...
- you managed to stay alive. - I...
Both the front and back of my head bulged out ever since I was kid.
So my head-butt was quite strong.
Kim Il was popular when we were young.
- It was when he was popular. - Kim Il.
My family and I went somewhere.
There was a fight going on.
I was trying to stop the fight,
and the guy looked at me.
He said, "How dare you stop me?" and all of a sudden,
- he head-butted me. - He did?
I didn't move because I was relieved he hit me with his head.
After that guy head-butted me...
(His opponent got dizzy on the contrary.)
That's how firm your head is?
Because he was embarrassed,
- he butted his head again. - He did that again?
He looked dizzy again.
He told me, "You shouldn't do that!"
Actually, it's the scene seen in Kim Il's wresting game.
- The villain hurting himself. - But...
not that many people butt their heads these days.
- At that time... - Gosh, he has a hard head.
(Feeling proud)
- Eun Tae, you don't have an agency. - That's right.
But I heard you have a special agent.
My wife is helping me in a lot of ways and giving me advice.
She's in charge of my looks.
How does she help you with your looks?
- His wife does his makeup. - She gives tips about his hair?
- She personally does it? - I see.
My nickname used to be the Worst Dresser.
- Really? - That was my nickname.
So your wife helps you with your outfits?
Usually, when musical actors...
are done with the show, we walk down the street after work.
It's when fans come to us and ask for our autographs and photos.
When I saw the photos,
I never felt embarrassed of myself.
- You liked the outfits. - Yes.
I don't read comments online,
but after I got married, my wife carefully showed me a few.
She told me that my fans felt sorry for my outfits.
(This is the outfit.)
What was your outfit like in the past?
I liked clothes with a lot of patterns.
(He's quite stubborn on his style.)
I think I know.
One of the clothes my wife hated the most was...
I think Ji Yeon might know which one I'm talking about.
They were pants with bears on them.
- Goodness. - They are the worst.
If Gook Jin says that something is worst,
- then it has to be the worst. - Oh, my.
I mean he wears hiking pants for goodness' sake.
(These are the pants with a pattern of bears.)
Why did you like them? Did you think bears were cool?
Yes, they were colorful and nice.
- He just likes them. - I guess so.
The shirt I treasured the most was a short-sleeved shirt.
On the shirt, there were about 100 people of different races.
His taste is absurd.
It is. It's so weird.
If you wear that shirt, what do you wear for your pants?
I wear that pants with bears.
(His taste never changes.)
You are dating Ko Eun Sung.
- He's so innocent. - Sorry?
He's 28 years old.
I wasn't innocent when I was 28.
(What is she talking about?)
He's eight years younger than you.
- I didn't want to talk about him. - What's wrong with it?
He's eight years younger than you.
Eun Sung made the first move,
but he said something ridiculous.
What did he say?
What am I going to do?
- Just tell us. - I'm so embarrassed.
(She's acting silly.)
What?
- What is this? - She startled me.
- What did he say? - What?
- What was it? - Let me give you an example.
(What is this?)
"My eyes might go blind. Are you a fairy?"
He said something like this.
- Only innocent people can say that. - I'm sorry.
- He slapped himself. - "Get yourself together."
"Am I in a paradise?"
You know these lines. That's what he told me.
I bet the ladies like these lines.
No, some ladies don't like them.
A lot of people are not fond of them.
- It depends on their preference. - That's right.
Actually, I've never head those lines from guys before.
- So... - What did he tell you recently?
- Recently? - Does he keep talking like that?
- No, he doesn't. - He doesn't do that now?
He changed quickly.
(Men are like that.)
I worked with them.
I'm aware that they met in a musical called "Wicked".
Eun Sung was my love interest.
He was supposed to fall in love with me.
He didn't care about me at all.
- He didn't care? - He wasn't interested in me.
During the practice, he'd be looking at me,
but his attention was somewhere else.
I wondered what was wrong with him.
I would ask him what was up with him.
He couldn't get himself together in the practice room.
His eyes were like a surveillance camera dedicated for Ivy.
His eyes kept following Ivy.
- He was like a surveillance camera? - I told him to look at me.
I told him that he and I were in this scene.
He fell hard for Ivy.
I thought that he might die because of that.
- He fell madly in love with her. - I see.
But they kept saying that it was a secret...
when everyone actually knew everything.
It's because you can't hide when you're in love.
Everyone can see that they were in love.
I'm not good at hiding my feelings.
I'm so bad at it.
Everyone got the wind of our relationship.
Everyone knew what was going on, but I wanted to keep it a secret.
Eun Sung came to my dressing room once.
He was peeling an orange to eat.
Ji Yeon came into borrow something...
and I felt guilty.
I said, "I told Eun Sung to peel an orange."
I acted like this.
- It was so obvious. - She's so innocent.
- That's how I acted. - I see.
I think you got it wrong.
I remember it clearly.
I heard someone was tapping in the dressing room.
I thought she was practicing tap dancing for an audition.
But when I opened the door, Eun Sung was on the sofa...
looking at Ivy tap dancing so happily.
He was admiring her.
She was dancing all pretty.
(Exaggerating)
The energy of love was too strong,
and I close the door.
So I've never flung open the door.
These two tend to exaggerate a lot.
- They exaggerate. - I mean it.
- I can understand from 100m away. - Exactly.
It'd be a great show when you two are the lead actresses.
You told the story with your body.
Since I've been performing on stage for a long time,
- my gestures can be too much. - We can see that.
I have to think about the audience sitting on the third floor.
I have to make big movements even when I stretch my arms.
It's easier for them to see.
(You can see us well, right?)
There are a lot of couples in musical industry.
- You married a younger guy too. - He's younger.
You married a musical actor Yoon Eun Chae who's four years younger.
- You're talking about me? - You and Ivy are similar.
He's 4 years younger than you, and Eun Sung is 8 years younger.
You opened up to your husband because of his pickup lines.
- I didn't know I'd fall for them. - What were they?
How did you fall or them?
- He said Ivy was pretty. - I didn't know I'd fall hard.
- It wasn't like that. - What was it?
It was one of those boring lines.
What was it?
We were getting ready for the show.
I heard someone approaching me from behind.
I turned and he called me.
I said we should do our best for the show.
But he said, "You know what?"
"I heard that a four-year-age gap is the best for couples."
- I see. - I said, "So what?"
He told me that he and I were four years apart and passed by me.
- He just passed by. - Yes, so I...
wondered what it was.
- "What is this?" - There must have been a signal.
- There was nothing. - He just did that without anything?
In fact, I haven't even really talked with him,
- so I had no idea. - He kept watching you.
I guess so. He said that 3 or 4 times.
- He kept saying the same thing? - Yes, he did.
- He said it again the next day? - "Think about it."
- "We're a perfect match." - He was persistent.
He asked me what I first wanted to do with a boyfriend,
so I told him what my lifelong wish was.
When actresses are done performing, their boyfriends come...
with their cars...
and pick them up while saying, "Great job today."
They give them a ride home.
- I had never experienced that, - I see.
so I envied it so much.
I didn't care what type of car it was. It could be a bicycle too.
- Somebody coming... - Someone to give you a ride.
- to tell me that I've worked hard. - "Ride in the backseat."
I like that. I love it so much.
I wanted it so much, and the next day was Children's Day.
I performed at Charlotte Theater.
- It's packed on Children's Day. - There are many people there.
- You know it, right? - Yes.
"Leave your car home. There's a traffic jam here."
"Is that so? All right, I'll take the metro."
After the performance, I got a text message from him.
"The car with the blinking emergency lights across the road is mine."
"Get in the car, and I'll take you home."
(Her heart fluttered.)
I got in the car, and he brought me to Han River.
- You live in Han River? - No.
(I don't live there.)
It's the opposite direction, but he went there out of the blue.
"I seriously want to go out with you."
- With Ji Yeon. - So I said,
"Shall we do so?"
- It was so sudden. - Even though he was far from...
- your ideal man? - No. I don't like younger guys.
He was nothing close to my type. What's more surprising...
is on the day after Children's Day,
he asked, "Don't you think you'll marry me?"
- "I think we'll marry each other." - Gosh, he's...
- It was in two days. - He's no ordinary person.
- He's no ordinary man. - He has supernatural power.
- I'm serious. - No, he kept appealing to her.
- He's no ordinary man. - That's how...
we really got married.
(She was captivated by the straightforward young guy.)
Ivy is dating a guy eight years younger than her, and Ji Yeon...
is seeing a musical actor who is four years younger than her.
Eun Tae married a woman who is older than him.
- She's older than him. - Is that so?
Do musical actors like older women?
- Is there really something? - How much older is your wife?
- I'm 2 years younger than my wife. - You're 2 years younger.
- Two years. - Yes.
- Who approached first? - He was born in 1984.
Min Young Ki, a musical actor...
and Kim Yeon Koung set us up.
- Isn't it Lee Hyun Kyung? - Yes, Lee Hyun Kyung.
Kim Yeon Koung is spiking the ball right now.
(Are you looking for me?)
We fixed Min Young Ki and Lee Hyun Kyung up together.
You guys all arrange the people you know...
I fell in love with her at first sight,
so in the first meeting,
- I got drunk. - What did you wear then?
- The one with the teddy bear? - At the time,
I did my best in picking my clothes, so she must have hated it.
He must've chosen his outfit carefully.
At the time,
because of Hyun Kyung and Young Ki's image,
my wife had a sense of duty not to end things badly.
- Since they set her up with you. - Yes, so I thought...
that she reacted nicely because she liked me.
In fact, you seem quite tactless.
I called her casually because I liked her so much.
She would've told you not to call her as such if she liked you.
- I was really into her, - "Don't call me."
so I told her everything about my life there.
- You said it all there? - It's like this.
"I need to end this. Why is talking about his life?"
- She ended up listening to it all. - Besides, the way he speaks...
is boring.
I talked about everything. We met at Hongdae,
and I lived in Bucheon back then.
- You're from Bucheon? - Yes, I'm from Bucheon.
I know that place very well. Where in Bucheon are you from?
- He's keen on regionalism. - Where exactly are you from?
- Jung-dong in Bucheon. - Jung-dong.
I was so drunk, so she brought me home.
It's very irritating to offer a ride from Seoul to Bucheon.
It's really irritating.
Even in the car, I talked about my life again.
- The life stories. - The life stories.
Taxi drivers hate it when drunk customers talk about their lives.
Your wife would've thought that you're unbelievable.
- She's nice. - She's nice.
She dropped me off in front of my house.
Until she left, she was so nice to me.
So I thought...
- that she was in love with me. - "She's interested in me."
You were mistaken.
I thought she really liked me,
so under the tree on the street,
I thought about what type of apartment to buy...
- and how many children we'll have. - You even talked about that?
- No, no. He imagined it alone. - I imagined it.
- You imagined it. - I liked her so much.
- You liked her so much. - For about 10 or 15 minutes,
I was happily imagining those under the tree,
and her car came all of a sudden.
She told me that I left my jacket and left after giving it back to me.
I was really grateful for how considerate she was.
I was totally moved. However, after getting married, she said...
that she didn't want my jacket to be another reason to see me again.
See, I knew it.
- It's... - "How sly of him to have left it."
- "My goodness." - When she drove again,
she would've been really frustrated.
"Gosh, I must see him again because of this."
People say that the power of love is delusional.
I made up my mind that day.
"She is my other half."
- Then... - What an amazing guy.
By asking her out later on,
I realized that she wasn't into me.
- He gradually realized it. - What made her...
change her mind?
I made a CD.
I read my letter out during the first verse.
You read it out.
Later in the song, I changed the lyrics...
and sang a serenade of love and put it in the CD I made.
"Please listen to it." I waited after giving it to her.
"Thank you." The next day, she said that she really liked it.
It means she didn't listen to it.
She didn't respond to me regarding my CD after three days,
so I thought she must have thrown it away.
Then, she told me that she listened to it in her car by accident.
She said that she was really moved afterwards.
In the wedding ceremony,
Someone wailed upon entering.
- Who did? - It was Eun Tae.
- I cried a lot. - That's a bit strange.
- Grooms enter the venue first. - That's the final blow.
- Grooms... - You cried a lot?
Grooms normally enter like this, but he cried.
You've been a total idiot.
(You've been a total idiot.)
I can see how innocent you are from your stories.
There's nobody more innocent than him.
The more you speak, the more I like your innocence.
- You're very pure. - That's right.
- We were too mean. - We were wrong to have tried...
too hard to get funny parts from Eun Tae.
I apologize again.
- He's a guy with moving stories. - No, no.
- We sought funny stories only. - In the end...
- We were mistaken. - That's not it.
- Moving stories bring laughter. - Exactly.
- Ours are too shallow. - You didn't even laugh.
Ours are too shallow, but his stories linger.
The laughs from his stories are like hurricanes.
(His innocence left hurricanes.)
Ivy destroys everything near her when she's mad.
Are you hot-tempered?
Yes, I can't suppress my anger,
- so I'm controlling my mind lately. - That's why...
she destroys everything around her.
She even broke her nose when she ran out of things to destroy.
You'll notice it once you see.
- It's a bit... - It's a bit crooked.
I don't drink alcohol, and I don't smoke.
I hate working out as well,
so there's nothing healthy I can do...
- to relieve my stress. - There's nothing.
That's why I broke...
the stainless dishwasher in the kitchen...
- I... - You smacked it?
- smacked it. - Like this?
- I smacked it. - It bounced back.
- Due to its elasticity, - That's right.
- It bounced back. - It bounced back like this.
That's what happened?
- It's actually broken. - And yet you can't get a surgery.
Every time I release an album or make a comeback,
people say that I should stop...
getting plastic surgeries online. It happens every time.
In fact, I think it's so unfair.
- You never got a plastic surgery. - Since I made my debut,
- I never got a plastic surgery. - Your face doesn't seem artificial.
Look. She has wrinkles. It seems natural.
- Thank you. - I'm serious.
- Ivy doesn't look artificial. - Only Gu Ra thinks I look natural.
How is this a face without makeup?
That's a face without makeup.
- Thank you. - Nothing. You got teeth whitening.
- I did that. - Exactly.
They always say that I got a plastic surgery on my chin.
There are so many comments like "please stop getting a nose job."
My face may change with a nose job.
What a natural connection. You mentioned plastic surgery.
Ji Yeon openly talked about her plastic surgery.
I worked on the first part of "Dream Girls" in 2009.
I played Effie White,
the fattest character.
I was offered to play the role provided that I gain much weight,
so I gained 18kg.
(She gained 18kg in a month!)
- I gained 18 to 20kg in a month. - You kept eating?
After that, all the characters I was offered to play...
were fat housewives.
- I only got such characters. - I see.
The next piece I chose to perform was "Queen Seon Deok".
- It was then. - In a month,
I lost all my weight back to normal.
How did you lose it all in a month?
I worked out like a mad person and controlled my diet.
- She lost 18kg. - I wanted to change my image.
"This is not how I am. I'll lose weight..."
"and change my image to a sharp one while going back to how I was."
However, I had no money because I was poor.
I went to a plastic surgery clinic for counselling,
and they suggested to sponsor my nose job.
They said that they'll change the shape of my nose tip...
and fix my eyes only a little bit.
"Can we put your picture up?"
"Yes, I'm not a famous actress anyway."
- "It should be okay." - They must've used it so much.
They basically won a jackpot...
- because... - They became popular afterwards.
the picture before the surgery was when I weighed 20kg more.
(They used the picture before she lost her weight.)
The picture after the surgery was when I lost all my weight.
Everyone was amazed to see the change.
"You can lose weight after getting a plastic surgery there."
That's how that clinic won a jackpot.
You agreed to put your picture up as well.
I agreed to use my pictures, and they brought great success.
I didn't know that they'd make a standing signboard of me as well.
Even a standing signboard.
There was a signboard standing.
You noticed it one day?
Even my husband told me about it carefully.
"Several years ago, I saw..."
"how there was a standing signboard of you."
I openly talk about it, but people say...
that I used to look horrible with amazement.
(She didn't get plastic surgeries on her whole body.)
Among others who perform musicals, women love you so much.
Me? It's because of my looks.
I heard that you were misunderstood often because of your fierce looks.
Yes, I was misunderstood so many times.
I really hate those who drive violently.
I can't forgive them if they drive violently in front of me.
I once followed a guy until the end...
because I was still angry.
He intentionally stepped on the brake to make me hit his car.
I was determined to butt him with my head.
(Ji Yeon was completely mad.)
I couldn't forgive him whatsoever.
- It was way too much. - Until the end...
What he did was way too much.
- He even showed his middle finger. - He swore a lot.
I decided to fight him back.
- "Just wait and see." - I followed him all the way.
I was into high heels then, so I was wearing a pair of 15cm tall heels.
You would've been this tall.
I'm 172cm tall, so with the 15cm tall heels, I was 187cm tall.
187cm tall.
- You were as tall as I. - Yes, I was 187cm tall.
My outfit was quite nice too. While leaving the car,
I said, "Sir, get out of your car."
A woman this tall was getting out of the car,
so he apologized right away. "I'm sorry."
"Please excuse me."
(I hate road hogs!)
Ivy, your father's life changed completely in Las Vegas.
- That's right. - Such thing happened?
I recently prepared a trip to LA and Las Vegas...
- as a gift for my parents. - It's a happy occasion.
We all went to Las Vegas.
My mom and I don't know how to play gambling games,
so I told my dad to go play, and we stayed in our room.
Suddenly, he opened the door...
and screamed, "I can't believe that this can happen in my life!"
He walked into the room.
- We thought... - He might have hit the jackpot.
- that he got into a fight. - I see.
"I can't believe that this happened in my life!"
- It's because my dad... - You mimic your dad very well.
grew up in a very poor family. As a result, he is very thrifty.
Even when he spends one dollar, he is very careful.
He played a game with 20 cents not to waste any money,
and he won 1,000 dollars.
- He gave 300 dollars to Mom and I. - That's 500 times more.
He felt the joy of winning 1,000 dollars.
- He felt the joy. - He experienced the joy of it.
- He should stop there. - He went mad.
(After the sweet taste of victory)
- Did he go mad? - He did.
- What happened to the money? - He played a game of 20 cents,
but he suddenly left with 200 dollars.
- Goodness. - He left.
"Dad, please don't play. You'll lose all your money."
"That's what happens to most gamblers."
He left with the money, and he ended up losing it all.
Did he become normal all over again?
- After winning 1,000 dollars, - That's right.
- They try to win the lost money. - After coming back to Korea,
he searches plane tickets to Las Vegas every night.
(Her father searches plane tickets to Las Vegas every night.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
We prepared this since even those who don't appreciate music...
enjoy hearing their singing.
"Songs that sound nice by singing out passionately."
First, let's hear the song Ji Yeon chose.
This is the main song from the musical "Seopyeonje"...
written by Yoon Il Sang.
- "Seopyeonje", the musical. - That's right.
Let's hear Ji Yeon's "As I Live".
I'm going first.
("As I Live" by Cha Ji Yeon)
(I used to play with sounds)
(The sound of my deceased mom is)
(As she holds the microphone,)
(she looks totally different from when she was talking.)
(As I live)
(I get to live the life that goes on)
(Close your eyes)
(And feel the wind)
(It's the tender touch of your mom)
(We can totally feel the sorrow of the song.)
(Her emotions are engaged until the very end.)
Thank you.
- She's a great singer. - Of course she is.
She was great on "King of Mask Singer" as well.
Ji Yeon, you look awesome when you sing.
- Thank you. - Her voice is amazing.
- She is truly amazing. - Besides, from her voice,
I can picture the story.
- Thank you. - Those with husky voices...
sound even cooler when they sing high notes.
- Such people should perform abroad. - That's right.
- She's gifted with her hardware. - Great job.
Thank you.
(She's delightful.)
This time, we'll hear Eun Tae sing.
Among those who were recently on Radio Star,
- he's the most innocent one. - He's the most innocent one.
- He's a man with a clean soul. - Pure and innocent.
(Gu Ra even uses an English word.)
Let's hear the song Eun Tae picked.
(What song did Eun Tae choose?)
This is a cool song I recently learned.
("Gethsemane" by Andrew Lloyd Webber)
"Gethsemane".
(It's a main song of the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar".)
It's a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Why did you pick this song?
It's a special episode of the musical actors today.
As musical actors, we don't get many chances to show ourselves,
so I thought this would be a good opportunity to show my identity.
That's why I chose this song.
Okay, let's hear Eun Tae's "Gethsemane".
("Gethsemane" by Park Eun Tae)
(There's only one thing)
(I want to ask)
(He starts singing "Gethsemane" with a calm voice.)
(Everyone pays attention...)
(to the innocent man's serious performance.)
(He suddenly turns into the agonized character.)
(Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?)
(Why can't I even deny my own existence?)
(Take me now before I change my mind)
(His eyes well up.)
(He's truly a superstar of musicals!)
(He does his best until the climax.)
- Amazing Eun Tae. - I really enjoyed your performance.
This is a really difficult song.
It's a really tough song.
He never blinks.
He's amazing.
You kept looking at him to see him blink.
(I got caught.)
I don't know the song,
but I think you are both soft and strong.
- You're really amazing. - He managed such a tough song.
- You're all really amazing. - Thank you.
Let's hear what our special MC thought about today.
- Jin Young. - Gosh, he was amazing.
Thank you.
- He was awesome. - He was good.
His ability to manage all the talks was remarkable.
The way he managed was the closest to the standard.
In fact, he wasn't funny.
(Gu Ra criticizes him.)
Radio Star was the show...
I wanted to be on despite being a bit afraid.
I was honored to be here as a special MC.
I've always been interested in musicals,
so hearing them sing made me really happy.
You were really awesome.
There's a saying that music heals broken hearts.
You all enjoy singing out passionately on stages.
I hope that you'll soothe...
your audience's hearts with your beautiful singing...
and acting performances.
We will say goodbye here.
- See you next week. - Please.
("I Don't Like Your Girlfriend" by Weki Meki)
