Happy to be together on "Happy Together"!
- Hello, it's great to see you all. - Hello.
- Hello. - Today's guests...
We have some huge stars to introduce.
Shim Hyejin, Kim Seongeun, Byul, Tiger JK, Raymon Kim.
- I really can't tell what today's theme is. - Right?
- I really can't guess. - What do you think it is?
- Spring. - What does spring remind you of?
- Spring... breeze? - A breeze?
- Let's allow Carbon Copies to do the honors. - Okay.
I bet they were afraid I'd introduce the theme.
I was very afraid.
Hello, we are the Carbon Copies.
We have some very special guests today.
- We do. - What is today's theme?
- I think we really must sing today. - Must we?
- Shall we? - Five, six, seven, eight.
Hands up! Freeze. Don't you dare move
You are my prisoner now
Hands up, don't move, hands up, don't move
You are my love now
- Welcome to the Romantics Special. - That's right.
This wild woman turns docile around her husband.
It's Shim Hyejin.
She will do anything for her soccer player husband.
It's actress Kim Seongeun.
All this lady can think about is Haha and Deurim.
It's the sweet singer Byul.
This charismatic hip-hop artist adores his singer wife.
It's Tiger JK.
This man can cook so many things but he's best at
warming his wife Kim Jiwoo's heart.
It's Raymon Kim!
- Welcome. - Debone everything.
As Carbon Copies said,
- today's guests are known romantics. - Are they?
- It's the Romantics Special. - Romantics?
Let's start with our eldest guest Hyejin.
Are you a romantic?
- Do you think you're a romantic? - I don't know.
- Don't you know? - When did you get married?
- How many years ago? - How long ago was it?
You don't seem to know, but according to our research
she dated for six years and is married for nine years.
- That's a total of 15 years. - 15 years.
I see.
I remember the time that Hyejin
- bragged about her husband being handsome. - Really?
- Yes. - Did she?
- It happens when you're blinded with love. - True.
- Are you still blinded? - Gosh, no.
This is a rough beginning for our Romantics Special.
- It's perfect for us. - I can't stand happy couples.
Both for us and our viewers, a Romantics Special...
- We feel jealous. - can be a very annoying topic.
One or two here are pretending to be romantics.
- Let's pick them out. - We always have a theme,
and sometimes a guest doesn't quite suit that theme.
- We pick them out. - We have to.
Tiger JK looks more like a lumberjack.
A lumberjack?
Yes, in the winter.
- You really... - He looks unkempt.
- Do you live in the mountains? - He's no romantic.
Hyejin and you, Misun, aren't you high school friends?
- We are. - Right?
- Are you friends? - Why do you sound so shocked?
- Time has attacked you more viciously. - Excuse me?
Were you her maid or servant or something?
She was famous in school.
- I think Hyejin's very pleased. - I'm not.
How dare you.
When I said time attacked her viciously, she was like -
Are you that pleased? Hyejin, seriously?
- People think I work for you too. - Shim Sanggun.
- Are you pleased? - It was such a funny comment.
- I'll stop going to our reunions. - Why?
We mentioned Hyejin's husband earlier
but rumors say he has anchor Son Seokhui's voice
and actor Jang Donggun's looks.
- He doesn't. - He's not quite Jang Donggun.
- He isn't. - Have you met him?
- She showed me his photo. - Is that true?
When you're in love you love everything about a guy.
- So you thought so 15 years ago. - I did.
What about now? He used to sound like Son Seokhui
- and look like Jang Donggun but now? - Much better.
- Really? - He still has it.
- His looks improved with age? - See a psychiatrist.
- No one sane can stand marriage. - Exactly my point.
- Marriage is a mad business. - I see cracks forming.
- You have to be mad to stay married. - You do.
This is supposed to be a Romantics Special but
- we're saying marriage is crazy. - Like the lyrics.
You can only marry someone you are crazy about.
So Hyejin is married to a man she knew for 15 years.
- You're still happily married. - She is.
- Doesn't that count for something? - Of course.
Was it love at first sight?
It don't think it was.
- He seemed so rigid. - Your husband?
- He can seem very rigid. - Can he?
He looks very shrewd and careful,
- so I wasn't impressed at first. - You weren't?
At the time he seemed too meticulous.
- He had the bad guy vibe. - He seemed arrogant.
- "No man ever treated me like this." - That's right.
- It was his plan. - He's very charismatic.
I thought, "What's going on? What's he thinking?"
I know what you mean.
- But? - I think that was the attraction.
You fell for him because he kept his distance. I see.
When every man you meet worships you
and one doesn't seem to care, you wonder why.
That's how I got married too.
- You aren't in her league. - I lost my mind.
You need to get a shot from the doctor.
Let's say hi to Kim Seongeun.
- She's... - She's famous.
- When did you get married? - Seven years ago.
- Seven? - Including your dating period?
- No, just marriage. - Really?
- It's my 7th year. - How long did you date him?
- 18 months. - Then it's almost nine years, then.
She's married to star soccer player Jung Joguk.
- You didn't recognize him at first? - No.
- Soccer fans would know him. - But not all women.
What did you think his job was?
I heard he was a soccer player but I didn't know him.
My friends told me he was famous and to give it a go.
- Did someone set you up? - Yes.
- You didn't want to date a nobody. - That's not it.
- No? - I heard he was famous so
I looked him up on the Internet before meeting him,
- but he didn't look that good. - Why not?
- Online, I mean. - He looked different?
First she asked around to see if he was famous.
Then she checked his looks.
Soccer players tend to look horrible in photos,
especially if it's taken during a match.
He looked funny and he also looked aggressive.
He has a very masculine look,
but I prefer pretty boys
- so I didn't like how he looked. - You're so honest.
- I like pretty boys. - Yes, she is.
Isn't Joguk considered a handsome soccer player?
- He's tall. - He's more manly.
I could have refused to meet him,
but for some reason I wanted to, which was odd.
Why did you meet him when you preferred pretty boys?
- He wasn't a pretty boy. - No he wasn't.
- Why go on the date, then? - Were you desperate?
Was I?
I don't know, I guess it was meant to be.
- I went on the date because I wanted to. - And?
We met up at a BBQ restaurant.
He opened the door to come into the private room and...
- Did he shine? - Yes, it was really weird.
- Really? - Was it not the charcoal fire?
- If the fire was freshly lit... - Maybe that was it.
- The aura... - I thought sportsmen were rough
- and mean-looking. - He didn't look like that.
He was wearing glasses, too.
He looked like an intellectual.
- An intellectual? What's that? - This is crazy.
It's pretty obvious that...
you tend to pay a lot of attention to one's looks.
- He was also soft-spoken. - Was he?
In hindsight, I think it was love at first sight.
He teases me even now.
- Saying what? - "You fell for me immediately."
- It's an ego booster. - Was he a fan of yours?
- He said he wasn't. - He wasn't?
- You didn't know about each other? - I knew of him.
- Neither of you were expecting much. - Right.
- But it was meant to be. - It's so odd.
Byul.
- How long has it been? - It's been so long.
- We haven't met since I got married. - Right?
- It's my first show. - Has it been three years now?
Two full years. It's my third year now.
- How long were you together? - We were...
- You dated in secret. - Yes, but it was very short.
- How short? - We got together in March of 2012.
We got a marriage license in September.
- The wedding was in November. - Why the rush?
I was 30 at the time so I wasn't exactly young,
and my husband was 34.
I was already convinced he was the one,
- so why waste time? - There's no point in waiting.
- We decided not to waste any time. - I see.
- Tell us about that. - What?
The shock you had at the family gathering.
Haha invited a few friends to his father's party.
Me, Kim Jongkook and Lee Gwangsoo.
- It was his 70th birthday party. - Whose party?
- Haha's father's. - My father-in-law's.
Byul's father-in-law. So we went to this restaurant.
- I saw Byul there. - Was it still a secret then?
- I had no idea. - Very few people did.
This was when only a few close friends knew about them.
When I saw her, I said, "Oh, Byul, hello."
- Did you think she was a guest singer? - A friend.
- It wasn't that kind of party. - There are singers.
- There was only room for eight. - She was a singer.
- I thought she was a friend. - Call Jang Yunjeong.
- They thought I was just a friend. - What then?
So I was there with Jongkook and Gwangsoo
and that's when Haha told us.
- "We're getting married." - What a shock.
- "We're dating." - I was shocked too but
I still don't understand why Jongkook did what he did.
He went...
- Why would he do that? - He dropped his spoon.
- It's not like Byul was his ex or something. - Why?
I still don't get it.
He should be happy for them.
- Did he feel betrayed? - He went...
Was he upset? About what?
- Mixed emotions. - I guess so.
But the oddest thing was it was Haha's father's party
and he didn't show up.
We took a group photo without Haha's father.
He didn't come to his own party?
We had all gathered to congratulate him
and he took a rain check saying he was busy.
So we celebrated without him, with an empty chair.
- He's a macho guy. - It was the oddest party ever.
He said he wasn't coming because of a traffic jam.
We were all very confused long after the dinner.
- 70 years is a big deal. - Jaeseok paid the bill.
- It was a luxury restaurant. - It was.
- It probably was at least 1,000 dollars. - A lot.
I was shocked three times that day.
The bill was the kicker.
I was shocked at the news,
shocked that Haha's father was absent,
shocked when I paid the bill.
I was so overwhelmed I went straight home and slept.
Are you free next Sunday? It's my mom's birthday.
I'll be there. Don't worry.
I'll stuff myself, then.
I'm here because I was told I'm a romantic,
- but the real romantic is Myungsoo. - Really?
I'm serious.
- Don't lie. - He does another show with my husband.
On TV he acts like he's on bad terms with his wife.
- He pretends. - So I wondered if it was true.
I wondered.
- I'm his wife Sumin's best friend. - They're close.
- The wives meet up, too? - They're close.
I'm especially close to Myungsoo's wife.
They aren't all close. Some of the women are mean.
- They're so much in love. - How so?
They've been married the longest.
What did you see?
We sometimes meet up to eat after the kids go to bed.
- We eat grilled eel or herring. - So you drink.
Sometimes.
I don't drink much, but when we're out together
Myungsoo's always calling her.
When we're all together, it's late for everyone so
you'd think the husbands would worry and call us.
- but no one else calls. - We don't.
They know where we are.
But Myungsoo calls every five, ten minutes.
Are you suspicious or obsessive?
- I think it must be mental. - Do you have issues?
I call Haha "honey" or "darling" on the phone.
Sumin still calls him "oppa."
"Hi, oppa." She has a lovely voice, too.
"I'll be home soon. See you." But she stays.
He calls again. She has him saved as "My prince."
- "Prince of the Sea"? - "Squid Prince"?
When her phone flashes "Prince,"
"Hi, I'll be home soon. I'm leaving." But she stays.
She orders more food.
- He keeps calling. - Do you see why I call?
- At least she answers calls. - Are you dissing him?
I totally get why he calls every five minutes.
We do that for four hours.
The last call is when I hear a credit card machine.
Wives compare how often their husbands call.
- We ask. - Do you?
They shoot on Thursdays so we meet up on Thursdays.
When they're done... You didn't know?
The first husband to call and say the shoot is done...
- The first wife... - It's so stressful.
It's an ego boost.
- Whomever's husband calls first... - Really?
I never call. I never do.
- Who calls first? - I thought that...
my husband called pretty often.
Usually Hyungdon or Myungsoo calls first.
The men with the prettier wives call first.
I'm jealous.
How dare you tease me.
- I call about 20 times a day. - Why?
- We've been married for seven years. - You love her.
- He adores her. - That's surprising.
My wife is good to me.
You should sit over there.
Sit over there.
- Swap seats. - How sweet is she?
- She wants to swap. - Swap with me.
- Tell us more about her. - You should.
- I have a question. - What?
Your wife has your number saved under "Prince."
What did you save her as?
- "MaPo." - What's that?
- When Pororo was all the rage... - Her nickname.
- Short for "My Pororo"? - Yes.
- "My Pororo"? - "MaPo"?
My Po, My Po
- Are you okay, Tiger JK? - I think he's suffering.
Which mountain do you live on?
Are you a hiker?
- I don't like the layout. - Why not?
- Is it the angle? - Geomancy?
- It's very uncomfortable. - The benches?
This seat is the most...
Excuse me.
Are you a geomancy expert?
- I can't see the others. - You can't see us?
JK is actually the most senior guest here.
Hyejin has known her husband for 15 years
but Tiger JK has known his wife for 16 years.
They dated for seven years and are married for nine.
Did you date for that long?
If I face you to talk I feel like it's impolite to him.
If I lean back then the others can't see me.
It's the angle, then.
Can you just answer my question?
We don't care about the angle.
Come over here, you can see everyone from here.
- Come over here. - Do you design sets?
- The 90-degree angle... - He's right.
You have to keep squirming around.
- You still feel butterflies around your wife. - Oh?
When I dreamed or drew as a child,
I saw Mirae.
- "Mirae," as in future? - No, her, Mirae.
- Her face? - Before you met?
- She's my ideal type. - Do you read faces?
Are you some kind of sorcerer?
- I'm serious. - You lived alone for too long.
- It's such a romantic story. - For real?
If you put together your ideal features,
- they add up to Mirae? - Is that true?
No, it was her exactly.
- For real? - Even before you met?
- Yes. - Wow.
- Is that possible? - Is that possible?
- I guess so. - You must've noticed her right away.
- "She's the one." - I did.
Can you tell us how you met?
- Coincidentally. - Coincidentally how?
You're so frustrating.
Try to answer with a story.
Sanggun was hilarious enough but you're worse.
You're both musicians so you must've known each other.
- My father met her first. - How come?
- At a service station... - At a service station?
- What happened? - I can't talk. She's laughing.
Just talk.
Why did you shake her hand?
- Because she laughed for me. - I see.
He met her at a service station
- and said, "My son would like you." - He knew.
- She didn't blow him off and they talked. - Really?
He said some good things about me
and then told me, "I met a cute girl you'd like."
But then I forgot about that.
We met by coincidence again a long time later.
- I heard about this after we got together. - Wow.
I'm not sure if I remember correctly,
but on my Sunday variety show
I teamed up with you and your wife.
- I overheard you two in the car. - About what?
- We argued the whole day. - Why?
I thought they were joking around.
- They actually argued in the car. - For real?
One second we were talking and laughing and then...
You two argued, didn't you?
We did a lot. Things weren't too good between us.
Did you have to fight on TV, though?
I wanted us to look good and the outfit I'd suggested
- on that hot day... - Black suits.
- They wore suits. - She was annoyed.
- About everything. - The heat, the frustration...
"Why are we wearing this in the mid-summer heat?"
"My makeup's a mess."
We argued in the car but Jaeseok worked wonders.
- He thought we were joking. - We're sick of
- people showering Jaeseok with praise. - Okay.
- It's endless. - It was fascinating.
- By the time we were done... - They reconciled?
- Yes. - I went through so much that day.
- Did you? - Did you hold back?
Everything's good now.
Raymon, does your wife Jiwoo...
- Does she even scrub your feet? - No way.
- For real? - What a romantic.
Your wife is the romantic.
- I'm envious. - Do you massage her feet?
She massages mine.
- How? - Jiwoo scrubs your feet?
I'm on my feet 11, 12 hours a day,
- so I have calloused feet. - And?
I'm envious.
Before we got married, she took me to get a pedicure.
- Really? - I'd never gotten a pedicure before.
It was a little awkward at the time
but it felt really good.
At first I was against the idea.
After about a month I told her
that I didn't want to go back there again.
So she bought a set and started doing it for me.
Does she use something like sandpaper?
She makes me soak my feet then uses this razor.
So she gets some warm water in a bucket
and soaks and cleans your feet?
- I'm impressed. - She did it until she gave birth.
- It's tough once you become a mom. - It is.
I massaged my husband's feet when I was pregnant.
- Did you... - You're joining in?
- You're quite competitive. - She's competitive.
- What about you, Hyejin? - Massages.
- Foot massages? - Don't all wives do that?
No one here wants to give in.
We have too many romantics.
- I'm drained. - Even the toenails.
- That's impressive. - It's no easy feat.
It takes a lot of love to be willing to do that.
- Feet smell. - I heard that...
- Jiwoo asked him out first. Is that true? - What?
- Is it true? - Yes.
Is that right?
- She must've really liked him. - You're different.
Right? I heard rumors.
- Where did you hear those rumors? - They spread.
He got caught in his wife's net.
Jiwoo has a unique taste.
- She insisted we go on a date. - She called you?
- She asked you out? - That's so up front.
We went to dinner after a show
and she asked for my number.
- She approached you, then. - That's rare.
Not many women do that.
- She called the next day and I stayed in. - Why?
- Playing hard to get? - Wow.
- It wasn't practical. - What wasn't?
Were you afraid of getting hurt?
I couldn't understand why she wanted to go out with me.
You were wary at first.
I'd never had a woman make the first move on me
and she was a celebrity.
- You were afraid. - I was.
What if he went out on a date and she asked for a loan?
- Who would... - It's plausible.
"Buy an insurance policy."
- Buy a policy. - Some people are like that.
I didn't meet her that first day.
I had business to take care of at the restaurant.
- She asked if I was free the day after. - Again?
- So we met up. - I'd give in after one refusal.
- She must've really liked you. - I'm impressed.
She just wanted to meet up for dinner.
I said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
- She wanted to eat sheep intestines. - That's tasty.
- It's expensive. - Does it mean something?
- She wanted to drink soju. - What then?
- Intestines and soju? - It's game over, then.
- What more is there? - You're practically engaged.
- How much did you drink? - Is that how it works?
It starts with octopus but intestines means it's over.
Was that your first date?
I wanted to see her pet cat and she invited me over.
That was it, then.
She could've brought it out.
Or showed it through the window.
- She could've sent a photo. - Even a photo.
- What if she had two cats? - He's a player.
- He's a romantic. - "I want to see your cat."
She offered up her cat as bait.
He took the bait and ran with it.
Hyejin, let's go back to you.
- You introduced So Yujin to her husband. - Right.
- Right? - Were you the matchmaker?
- I heard about that. - Yes.
How do you know Baek Jongwon?
I was filming a drama with Yujin
and Jongwon knew Han Jiseung, a director
whose film I was also working on.
Jongwon is Jiseung's friend.
- And Han Jiseung is her friend. - Right.
We're in the same age group so we met up for dinner
and the topic turned to finding Jongwon a wife.
Jiseung kept asking if I knew any potential dates
and I thought that Yujin looked a bit like Jongwon.
- Did you think so? - Their image.
- Don't they look alike? - They do.
- Do they? - So I asked Yujin.
I didn't give her any details.
"He owns a meat restaurant. See what happens."
That's what you actually said.
They tied the knot because it worked out.
So Hyejin was the unofficial matchmaker.
- If the couple marries... - You deserve an outfit.
What did they give you?
- Nothing, it happened over dinner. - That was it?
- That's nice of you. - Don't refuse if they offer.
- I'll ask later, plus interest. - You do that.
Seongeun, like you said earlier,
you get to spend more time with your husband.
He has a lot of free time. What is that like?
Does it feel strange to have him around all the time?
Yes, a bit, because he served in the army.
- A year or two... - Yes, almost two years.
We were apart for almost two years.
It felt like he was intruding in my space.
He's your husband.
- I see. - I got so used to just being with my son.
You had adapted.
- It was just us two. - He's an extra mouth to feed.
Yes, so for the first month after he was discharged,
although I knew I was supposed to feel happy,
- everything felt so strange. - A bit uncomfortable.
It got better after a month.
What was the worst part?
Sleeping together. I'd gotten used to my son...
Sharing the bed again...
Did you not sleep the first night?
- Did you not sleep? - I used to sleep with my son.
Did your son sleep alone?
There was no longer enough room for all three.
- It was so cramped. - You slept together?
- Yes. - Then it might be difficult...
It is. Why else aren't I pregnant yet?
If you hit me after saying something like that...
It will look bad.
- People will misunderstand. - I'm not your husband.
I don't remember her being so brazen.
- It just came out. - How old is your son?
- Six. - Six years old.
Like Jaeseok's son.
- He needs his own room. - Sleep separately.
We only had each other for two years.
- He can't sleep alone. - That's bad.
- Train him. - He sleeps with me when his dad's away.
- It became a habit. - I see.
- He loves sleeping with us. - That isn't good.
- Did you breastfeed him? - Yes.
You got your figure back right away.
I didn't breast feed him for that long
but I struggled so much in the beginning.
He was heavy but I still carried him everywhere.
He has a sensor on his back.
He cried whenever I put him down so I just gave up.
I held him for three hours, fed myself, then him.
Can you eat with a baby in your arms?
So I lost weight.
- Sensitive kids are like that. - I was much thinner.
- You were so thin at the time. - I was just...
My friends said that I looked like an old lady.
Your husband's career took off
- after he married you. - Yes, he became more famous.
He even did a bottle ceremony.
Ki Sungyueng did it a while ago.
- He did. - The baby bottle ceremony.
There are so many embarrassing photos.
- He wasn't like that. - Is he wearing eye shadow?
"Honey, do you see me?"
- Did he tell you in advance? - He's not like that.
- He just did it? - How do you feel when he scores?
- I feel great. - Like you're there, too?
- It's amazing. - The goal is great,
but that kind of ceremony is what's so special.
His nickname is "Milkamp."
It's strange because Taeha was born in August.
He scored so many goals between then
and the season end in December.
I remember that.
So even now, fans on the internet say
"Seongeun, please have another baby."
- Is he scoring less now? - He's doing great,
but fans think having another baby might help.
He's doing fine as he is.
Byul, how old is your son?
- He's 20, going on 21 months. - He's all grown up.
He's such a sensitive little thing.
The slightest of sounds wake him up.
Haha comes home when I finally put him to bed
so I try to keep him away from the baby just in case.
One day I told him to change and wash up.
He didn't come out of the changing room so I went in.
He was looking at a video of our son.
I'm not trying to be funny but his shoulders...
"Deurim, daddy lives for you, you know."
- He kissed his phone. - Let him see the kid.
- He must adore his son. - I totally understand.
Whenever he's out filming for a TV show,
he makes video calls and demands photos.
I call or send something over ten times a day.
When we first saw the baby, we were like
"Hello, Deurim, how are you?"
"Byul, your little boy is growing so fast."
But Haha makes us do that so many times a day.
We can sense him approach us.
We can feel a video call on the way.
- I felt that. - Did you?
Jung Junha is five times worse.
- It's insane. - One on each side..
I have my own room to avoid all that.
- Myungsoo and I don't do that. - We don't.
- Junha is just terrifying. - He adores his son.
I heard your son is showing signs of a genius child.
- All moms say that. - Not this again.
- Here we go again. - I never said he's a genius.
Someone asked if I noticed anything special
so I said, "He's 20 months and he reads a few numbers."
- Numbers? - Yes.
- Don't they all? - "One, two," like that?
I noticed you leaned on her leg.
Give me this one.
- She's an auntie now. - Byul's the aggressor.
- Sorry. - You're so cute.
Elevator buttons have numbers on them.
He reads almost all of them between one and ten.
He recognized five first and said "wu."
Wasn't he just mumbling?
I knew you'd say that.
- "Wu." - What about one?
- The next was seven. - What did he say?
He doesn't say "chil" but he said "chwi."
- "Chil" and "chwi"... - "Wu," "chwi."
He sounded so cute.
You don't believe me but I can't show you, can I?
How does that mean he's a genius?
All moms are like that. I was, too.
My friend said her baby could say "mother" in English.
"Mother" in English at 20 months.
I didn't believe her and she insisted.
When I saw the baby all it could do was babble.
- She heard it say "mother." - Hey.
- You can't liken that story to... - "Hey"?
- Sorry, Shinyoung... - We have a frustrated guest.
It's totally different.
- Raymon, your child is 80 days old? - 84 days old.
Is she a genius?
I hold her while my wife cooks at home
and she turns her head towards the kitchen.
I planned to make her a chef.
Just because she turned her head?
It's just a short while out of a long day.
You'll make her a chef because she watches mom cook?
Moms feed toddlers baby food.
Some days the kid tosses the food away.
Some kids can tell
- if the food tastes different. - By the taste?
The mom tastes it and realizes something's different.
Children can tell the difference in taste.
If a child throws something, punish them.
How dare they throw mom's cooking.
- He wasn't hungry enough. - Just a suggestion.
The baby wasn't hungry enough.
Haha's mother, your mother-in-law
is the famous Madam Okjeong.
What happened at the amusement park?
During lunar new year
we went to Yongin. - The amusement park?
We had visited Haha's sister's home
and on the way back we passed the amusement park.
We thought it was a rare opportunity for Deurim.
People recognize Haha all the time
but I was more afraid of them recognizing his mom.
- She was in that dress of hers. - Cotton flannel.
So we had her change into her daughter's clothes.
Something that looked normal and inconspicuous.
Despite all that, I guess she wanted to be noticed.
She likes the attention.
We had zipped everything up tight
but she slowly pulled it all down.
Of course people are going to say, "It's Haha's mom."
Haha didn't like it and ran away and hid.
My mother-in-law started to greet everyone.
"Hello."
- She's good. - "I'm here with my son."
No one asked and no one had even noticed Haha.
You sound exactly like her.
"This is my grandson." She said things like that.
Haha was making faces and telling her to stop.
We have to mention that you just released a new album.
- Just a single. One song. - How long has it been?
It's been two years and three months.
When did you have the time to record a song?
I hope you like it.
It's great to see you as Deurim's mom
but I'd like to see you as Byul the singer.
JK, didn't you just release an album?
With Mirae and a rapper friend Bizzy.
It's our debut album titled "MFBTY."
- "MFBTY." - What does it mean?
"My fans are better than yours", for one.
It can mean we have better fans than you.
"Mother, father..."
"Bizzy, Tiger, Yun Mirae" is another meaning.
- I almost jumped. - "Mother, father"?
You scared me just then.
For a split second...
Raymon's practically a member of our show.
- He's family. - Semi-panel.
This is his fourth appearance.
He's a Late Night Cafeteria legend.
Can you cook us that again?
After he appeared on our show, other channels
came up with programs with similar formats.
- Leo and Raymon... - You owe us.
I'm so grateful...
- He's taking credit. - I was so surprised.
- Why? - I just got goose bumps.
- Why? - I was going to thank him, you see.
- Should he thank us? - Of course.
- We did him a favor. - We think so differently.
- We're the reason you gained fame. - Maybe.
You caught him off guard, too.
I must admit I keep getting calls.
Compared to the time you first came on our show,
- there are so many famous chefs now. - That's right.
But to be honest, your names all sound so alike.
- Sam Kim, Raymon Kim, so many Kims. - Kang Leo.
Leo's the only one without a Korean name.
- "Leo" is his real name. - What's your Korean name?
It's Kim Deokyun.
- You should've gone with that. - It's a nice name.
There are many star chefs these days.
- Do you eat at each other's restaurants? - Do you?
Most of the chefs on TV get along with each other.
Our restaurants are all close by, too.
We visit each other.
- What? - Hyejin wants to know whose food is best.
They're all different so I can't say whose is the best
- but I do know who earns the most. - Who is that?
Baek Jongwon.
- So Yujin's husband. - The meat restaurant guy.
Whose food did you like the most?
There's a chef in Yeonnam-dong
- whom I look up to. - Chinese food?
- Yes. - Who is this?
Chef Lee Yeongbok has about 40 years' experience.
- I've been there. - Beside the noodle place?
I hope I don't see you there wearing a fake beard.
"I am Yeonnam-dong's famous Lee Yeongbok."
What dish of his would you recommend?
His sweet and sour pork is still crispy after an hour.
- That looks so good. - How come?
- It looks so good. - We've been there.
Even after an hour?
He manages to preserve the air in the batter.
Half the batter is air, then.
But the meat is still perfectly cooked.
He cleans and cuts his own meat.
He makes his own dumplings.
Most Chinese restaurants serve frozen dumplings.
It's free when you order over two noodle dishes.
He makes them during his break.
Sometimes you get distracted and talk for an hour
but the sweet and sour pork is still crispy.
- How is that possible? - That's know-how.
He uses the same ingredients everyone else uses.
- That must be so good. - I want some.
- Me, too. - Hyejin, your husband built you a sauna?
- I heard about that. - A sauna?
- I saw it. - We live on the outskirts of Seoul.
I love to go to public baths and saunas
but we live too far away from a sauna.
It's a ten-minute drive at least.
- It's dangerous in the winter. - Up a mountain.
- Someone built you a kitchen? - I'm pretty tall.
The kitchen sink has to be a certain height.
- For the sake of your back. - It can be torture.
- I'm impressed. - He wants you to do more in there.
He says that whenever we're fighting.
It may look like he did it for my sake, but...
it turns into fuel for a fight.
- "Am I your maid or something?" - Maid?
"Am I your slave?"
- I see. - It's pleasing when I'm in a good mood.
- He sounds like a considerate man. - He is.
- Sensitive? - He notices small things.
- He reminds me of that sometimes. - How so?
There are times when my closet becomes a mess.
He wonders, "Does she need more storage space?"
and he makes something.
- He makes you stuff. - All the time.
He's someone's dream man.
Seongeun, you said your son is six now.
What does he do?
- Is he good at soccer? - He enjoys it.
- Is it in the blood? - I wanted to ask
if their kids sing well.
It's not like we forced it on him.
My husband isn't too pleased.
- He'd prefer him to study. - For a change.
- He just loves soccer. - Is he good at it?
My husband says all he has is passion and no skill.
He's only six but he's good for his age group.
One day at soccer class he caught the ball like this.
Ball trapping?
The other moms said, "Who is that kid?"
- Wasn't he just hit by the ball? - No.
- He did what? - This, with his chest.
He knows all the terms. Offside, penalty kick...
- He is a genius? - He knows it all.
I don't see how a six-year-old can use his chest.
Do you want me to call another mom?
- No, no... - Don't take it that far.
My husband wants him to act.
I said, "He doesn't exactly have the right look."
- He said it's not all about looks. - That's true.
He complains that I diss our own son.
Actors these days don't have to look handsome.
He wants our son to act
and to that I say, "It's a tough occupation."
He says, "Do you think soccer's easy?"
Each parent is an expert in a certain field.
Now Taeha prefers playing soccer over being an actor.
He doesn't even like it when I take photos.
- He tells me to stop. - Shouldn't she wait and see?
She should.
We actually have a video of Seongeun and her son.
- Do we? - Have a look.
- That's Taeha. - He's good-looking.
Welcome. Come on in.
Look at him speak.
Welcome to my house.
- He's so cute. - Is he learning English?
- He looks like his dad. - He does.
- Come and see the floor. - Of the living room?
He doesn't dislike being filmed.
What is that?
- Lego. - He loves Lego blocks.
He made all those.
You have that set.
- Who made this? - My mom made this.
- It's really odd. - Why?
I'm off to play soccer.
- Soccer? - Bye.
This is my room. Wait while I play some soccer.
Where are we?
- It's my playroom. - Your playroom?
- Play with the ball. - It's nicer than my room.
Let's have a look at that.
- Mom! - Wasn't he going to play soccer?
It's your plant. Read it, what does it say?
- Radish. - Again.
Radish, bean, carrot, broccoli.
Did you make him read that on purpose?
- No. - Anyone can tell.
Anyone can tell you made him read it.
- Do you like mom or dad? - Both.
Pick just one person.
- Who do you prefer? - Mom.
- Do you prefer me? Really? - Don't tell dad.
- Do you really prefer me? - Yes.
- Are you going to say the opposite to dad? - No.
Why do you prefer me?
Because mom...
Dad's always away and you aren't.
- Because dad's not home? - Because you play with him.
Dad's always away.
That's why I lose weight.
I left the camera on a tripod.
- He does like soccer. - He does.
He really likes playing soccer.
It's mine.
He's pretty good.
- He looks a lot like his dad. - He does.
He's so cute.
- What a workout. - Seriously.
Everything else was fine but the random English...
- Broccoli. - Broccoli. Carrot.
Taeha's just adorable.
We're talking about the kids now.
- Jordan's a music genius? - Jordan.
I'm curious.
- I saw him rap on TV once. - He raps.
Does he?
Yes, yes.
It's in our album.
- What is? - His composition.
- What? - His song?
- Your kid? - He wrote a song?
- How old is he now? - About seven?
- And he wrote a song? - Yes.
- It's called "Fart Dance." - "Fart Dance."
He played with the keyboard thinking it was a game.
- That's what happened. - He is a genius.
I want to listen.
It's an odd album.
JK was so busy working on the album
that he couldn't spend much time with Jordan.
- We have a video of them on a special day. - Really?
Let's watch it.
Jordan's adorable.
Hello, I'm Tiger JK.
Be happy, "Happy Together" viewers.
Peace.
- Coffee. - Thank you.
- She's so pretty. - Your wife?
Mirae's just...
- He's grown. - He's grown.
- He's all grown up. - Wow, Jordan's...
He's a young man now.
Not so hard.
He has nice muscles.
- He's tall for his age. - He looks like his mom.
My turn now.
He looks like Mirae when she was younger.
Two, three.
- Thank you. - How sweet.
Jordan has grown so much since we last saw him.
- He has. - Yes.
Do you talk to him in English?
His grandmothers babysit so he speaks gibberish...
- A mix of languages. - What does he say?
I don't know.
- Sometimes he says "yah." - "Yah."
- The dialect. - "You know, yah?"
I don't get to see him much.
I hug him like a baby whenever I see him.
He says, "Don't."
I ask why and he says, "I'm not a baby."
- He says that? - Yes.
Don't hug me like that, I'm not a baby.
He watches a lot of dramas on TV.
- The dialogue... - He remembers that.
He copies the dialogue.
Did you write a rap song for your wife?
- Did you? - Not at all.
- Don't lie. - You did, don't say you didn't.
- You people are all in denial. - You all lie.
What is your goal being on this show?
- Do you have something? - What?
You brought something.
See, this is what they do.
- I was told to write something. - Let's hear it.
- I'll just read it. - What's the title?
- "Love Fortune." - "Love Fortune."
I'll just read it.
Hey, you hide your broken heart and tears
- Did you understand that? - Yes.
- We get it. - Just read it.
We aren't learning how to rap.
- It's awkward. - It feels awkward.
Just read it.
- Say "yeah" whenever I pause. - We will.
It's embarrassing.
Hey, you hide your broken heart and tears
You listen to me talk all night even when you're tired
You make me smile, my Wonder Woman
Put down your burden, let me carry it for you
I will make your dreams come true
Yes, I dance to step all over the crazy world
- Love, fortune. - Hip-hop.
- Was that okay? - That was so nice.
Raymon mentioned this earlier but your son is...
- 80 days. - 80 days old.
- I see. - Almost 100 days old.
- Very soon. - April Fools' Day is his 100th day.
Really?
Raymon, your wife Jiwoo...
She was in labor for 51 hours?
- For real? - That's over two days.
She gave birth on December 23.
We hosted a party at our place on the 20th.
We'd been asleep for about three hours
when she said her water broke.
We went straight to the hospital.
She had contractions for 51 hours
and was in active labor for 24.
- That's terrible. - My goodness.
Don't you do C-sections if it takes that long?
No, we went for a natural birth.
That's amazing determination.
- 51 hours... - Wow, 51 hours is...
We have a video of Raymon's family, too.
- Let's have a look. - Do we get to see the baby?
Raymon the romantic.
You're pushing the stroller like it's a toy.
Jiwoo's behind the camera.
- It looks like a toy. - She's so cute.
- He looks like his mom. - This is her first outing.
She looks so sweet.
We're out to eat lunch then do some shopping.
It used to be just us two
- but now we're three. - Yes. It feels odd.
It feels very different.
How sweet.
He's not eating for fear the baby will wake up.
He insisted on holding her.
Are you happy to be a dad?
- Of a girl who looks like her mom. - She doesn't.
If you look on camera, there are two Raymons.
Stop talking nonsense and eat.
- He insists she looks like her mom. - He does.
It's bath time for our little girl.
- You bathe her? - Wow.
They say it should be elbow temperature.
It's better to use a thermometer.
Between 37 and 38 degrees.
I set everything up
but Jiwoo does the actual work.
She's so calm and quiet.
- It's tough. - It is.
Is she swimming?
Gosh. The neck donut.
Are you swimming?
She's so sweet.
- You cutie. - She kicks.
- Kick. - She does.
Babies swim in their moms' bellies.
Are you happy? Lua.
She should become a swimmer.
Watch her swim.
You talk differently now.
Me, too, right?
A guy that looks like this talks like
"Oh, my dear Lua."
"Did you know?" That's how he talks.
New dads all do that.
I'll go Spartan on you soon.
- You wouldn't. - The time is 1:45 a.m.
- She just fell asleep. - She's so sweet.
I have something else to do now.
- This is something he does for me. - What's that?
Do you clean the bottles?
- He cleans the bottles. - I have to do that.
He would be more meticulous.
Thank you.
Oh, shall I show you my house?
- We don't have a TV in our living room. - Why not?
We have an audio system instead.
We decided it would be better to chat over music,
which was my husband's idea.
Oh, and we have a lot of photos.
That is just adorable.
- 100 days... Oh, that's you? - You were cute.
- She looks like you. - Look.
She's only 80 days old, remember?
Doesn't Lua look more like this baby?
- I agree. - She looks like her dad.
I see her mom, too.
- Are you sanitizing it, too? - A sanitizer, too?
He does this for me every day.
Isn't he so sweet?
All done.
That was lovely.
I'm so embarrassed.
This is a long day for me.
- Raymon, did you propose? - Yes.
I broke my jaw so badly I couldn't talk once.
49 days after my father passed away
I was out with my family after the ceremony.
- I fell off a cliff. - What do you mean?
We rented a condo to spend the night with my family.
There was no rail on the balcony
and I stepped too far in the dark.
And you fell.
I smashed my face, so most of it is steel-plated.
- They tore me open here. - It was serious, then.
- What then? - I couldn't speak.
I couldn't talk.
Jiwoo kept visiting me.
She cleaned the vomit from my smashed-up face.
I was a mess.
I thought I should marry this woman.
- When she did that. - But you couldn't say so.
I couldn't say so.
I couldn't brush my teeth for over a month.
I felt gross, my teeth were broken and twisted.
- I didn't think she'd say yes. - Of course.
So I texted my friends and asked them
to take photos and write "marry me."
I'd never edited a video in my whole life
but I made something with the videos in my laptop.
- What's that movie called? - "Love Actually"?
- Isn't it like that? - It's not at all like that.
No? Is it a different story?
I'm mistaken?
We have five romantics here.
- Let's give them a mission. - Really?
Call up your husband or wife and get them to say
- "I miss you." - Your spouses.
- Do we have a time limit? - Yes.
- There's a time limit. - Is that possible?
Raymon, how about you start us off?
- "I miss you." - "I miss you"?
- She won't say it. - She might right away.
Why do I feel so nervous?
I've never seen him this nervous.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Hello. - What are you doing?
- I'm feeding Lua. - Oh, are you?
I think I'll be late today.
Why?
I have work to do and I said I'd meet someone.
- Will you be very late? - Yes.
I see. It can't be helped.
- Do you have anything to say? - I love you.
- I love you, too. - Okay.
- I miss you. - I know.
You did it.
That's incredible.
- 38 seconds. - That was amazing.
- She's so sweet. - Congratulations.
- "It can't be helped." - They just taped that.
Aren't they the best ever?
- He'll be hard to beat. - He's a strong contender.
- It was perfect. - Explain the situation.
Did you know you had to say a certain phrase?
- I didn't. - Did you text her?
I didn't.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Jiwoo, you're on "Happy Together." - Oh, hello.
- Why did you suddenly say "I miss you"? - Well...
I say that a lot anyway.
- It was too easy for them. - It was too easy.
We ruined it.
Why do you use the honorific?
He's eight years older than I am.
- Is he really? - You didn't have to say that.
He's 11 years older and I don't use the honorific.
Whenever he comes home late, not all the time,
- is it because he has plans? - Yes.
He had a prior engagement that I knew about.
Do you not nag him much?
My mom scolds me if I do.
She's actually here right now.
Most wives say something like, "Sure you do."
That upsets the husband and leads to a fight.
- "What, am I wrong?" - "I work, I don't play."
- "I slave away for you." - Too bad.
- We didn't get to hear that. - We lost out.
I know he wouldn't come home late unless he had to.
- She trusts him. - It has to be about work.
Now you made us feel bad.
- "You're kidding me." - Most wives say that.
Hang up now. I'm cringing to death.
Jiwoo, congratulations on becoming a mother.
Come on our show one day.
- Yes, thank you. - Thank you.
Have a nice day.
- She's so lovable. - She is.
I'm melting.
- 38 seconds. It was so easy. - So smooth.
- No one can beat that. - Unless you have a script.
38 seconds. Byul, how about you go next?
- Men don't say that often. - It won't work.
He's saved as "mean old man."
He had a lot to drink last night.
- He was asleep when I left. - You don't mind that?
- I do. - How are you doing?
Honey.
- Are you done? - No, we're having a break.
- Is it fun? - I'm exhausted.
- Myungsoo doesn't laugh. - When you talk?
- He doesn't laugh along. - He doesn't?
It's so hard.
When do you think I'll be done?
Oops.
Are we meeting up later on?
I can't do this.
What can't you do?
- Do you have anything to say? - What?
- Say something. - Your time's up.
That was terrible.
- Time's up. - I wanted to quit first.
You went over the time limit and failed.
It's understandable.
- This is normal. - Honey.
Hello?
Did you tape that? I'll try again.
I think I sounded too indifferent.
You did.
- On the Romantics Special. - I failed...
- but let me try again. - It's the Romantics Special.
This is crazy. I love you.
- I miss you. - Finally. He said it.
Haha, what were you doing?
I'm playing in the Kiddy Room with Deurim.
- Are you? - What a nice dad.
Don't you love spending time with
your one and only son?
- Why are you laughing? - This is crazy.
- You sound tired. - Excuse me.
Can you get out of the way, kid?
There are other children.
- This is hilarious. - You're tired, aren't you?
When she told me you were having a break
- and that Myungsoo was mean. - You sounded angry.
I was so positive he would laugh.
I laughed a lot at her jokes.
I tried to sound normal.
I had to make you say "I miss you."
I miss you.
- How much? - I'm going mad.
Byul hasn't been on TV for a while. Were you worried?
I felt so nervous but I pretended not to care.
I told you he had a lot to drink last night.
- He drunk-dialed your crew. - I heard.
Why did you call my producer and writers?
Honey, shut your mouth.
You talk too much.
What are you doing?
You can tell if you watch the show
- but she did very well. - She did.
Okay, well, thanks anyway.
We actually said amongst ourselves that
she's better on talk shows than you are.
- She can talk. - She can.
- Call her more often. - We will.
You found a good wife.
- Thanks for talking to us. - Sure.
- See you at work. - Okay, see you. Thank you.
Bye.
- Good luck, honey. - See you later.
- We aren't good at that. - I know.
Shall we call Mirae next?
This is tough for most couples.
The fact that Raymon succeeded is very unusual.
I'd win if the mission were to make him curse.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Are you done? - We finished early.
- Good job. - What's Jordan doing?
He went trampolining with auntie.
- Something came up. - What?
- I have to go out. - When?
Hello?
Why did you hang up?
- Let her talk. - Why hang up?
- What are you doing? - Why did you hang up?
What was that about?
She might get the wrong idea. You need to explain.
What on earth are you doing?
- It was funny. - Forget being funny, that...
Why did you hang up?
- What would she think? - She'll know if I laugh.
- Call her back. - Sorry.
Tell her before you hang up this time.
- Apologize. - It was too funny.
- Hello? - Hello?
- What happened? - Weak signal.
- I have to travel abroad to perform. - What?
- I'm going to China. - Where?
China.
I'll be back tomorrow.
What do you mean?
Talk to me.
- What are you talking about? - Oh, come on.
- What was that? - This is nonsense.
You sound confused.
- You're going abroad? - Without your passport?
From KBS to China?
- Mirae. - "Talk to me."
- Hello? - Mirae, hello.
- Hello. - You're on "Happy Together."
Are you taping this?
We gave our guests a mission.
The spouse had to say "I miss you."
- He's leaving for China. - "I miss you"?
He's going to China to make you say "I miss you."
He said "talk to me."
- Mirae. - Yes?
Didn't you think he was being strange?
Yes, I thought he was being really strange.
- Right? - He hasn't been sleeping
so I assumed he was out of his mind.
You thought he was tired and out of his mind?
- Yes. - He actually rapped for you earlier.
- He... - It was amazing.
He rapped something he'd written down earlier.
- Did he? - Does he do that often?
Yes, freestyle...
- all day. - All day?
- It's worse when he's tired. - Is it?
- Mirae. - Yes?
- We hope to see more of you this year. - Thank you.
- I'll try. - Is there anything you'd like to say?
I miss you, JK.
- Love you. - Love you. Bye.
So only one person, Raymon, succeeded.
Welcome to Late Night Cafeteria.
It's been so long.
We're here to cook something nice for you romantics.
Let's eat.
You mentioned Chef Lee's sweet and sour pork.
A member of our team went and bought some.
- No way. - Seriously?
They don't deliver so we sent someone.
It's been an hour. Is it still crispy?
- Will there be enough for us all? - This is it.
- Aren't those dumplings? - Dumplings.
They look delicious.
There's no way these cannot taste good.
We'll try the dumplings first.
Can we share the soy sauce? There are two.
I'm excited.
They really are handmade dumplings.
- Did someone really buy these? - Yes.
- It's strange. - Spicy.
It's spicy.
The stuffing is spicy and not greasy.
One thing I noticed is that for pot stickers
the skin is chewy, right?
I like it because the stuffing isn't too stimulating.
It doesn't have that porky smell.
Cheap dumplings smell of pork and cabbage.
This doesn't have an aftertaste.
- The stuffing is so light. - Isn't it?
- He doesn't use tofu. - Oh, no tofu.
- That was it. - He doesn't deep-fry them in a batch.
He fries them in a shallow pan.
Let's try the sweet and sour pork now.
Is it crispy?
- Can we have some? - Take some.
- I heard the crunch. - Can I?
- Try some. - Can I?
You have to serve yourselves.
I want a lot.
We talked about this during the break.
I want to know how he cooked this.
- It's fantastic. - It's delicious.
This is how it should taste.
This is the best I've had in a while.
- When did you last have some? - Yesterday.
- Really? - This is much better.
- It's so good. - He didn't use ketchup.
It tastes like the old school recipe.
Misun, sorry, but this isn't your class reunion.
We don't meet at Chinese restaurants.
It looks like a high school reunion.
- You're on our show. - Don't talk about other stuff.
Focus, please.
It really is crispy.
We were wondering if he used sticky rice powder.
I just said, "I think you're right."
- It's light, not too overpowering. - It really is.
I wanted to say that.
That's because some people these days
add extra ingredients in the batter.
- but he doesn't. - The taste...
- The 80s' taste. - It tastes of the dish
that my mom bought me on special days.
- We have something even better. - We do.
- Stop eating. - Let's see what you brought.
Shall we see your recipes of love?
Raymon is up first.
It's the best ever.
We were wasting our time.
He crushes everyone.
What is this?
Back when I was dating my wife,
this is the first thing I cooked for her.
- The first thing you cooked at her place? - Yes.
- When you met the cat? - Was it that day?
- The next day. - The day after.
The morning after you spent the night together.
- Jaeseok, you're weird these days. - Be nice.
- You're weird. - Thinking of affairs.
What does that have to do with this?
A fortuneteller said he might have an affair this year.
What does that have to do with this?
I cooked a lobster for her but I don't have one here.
Myungsoo loves this kind of smell.
I love the smell of cheese.
- This is just cheddar cheese. - Cheddar.
Mozzarella cheese.
- And this? - Bacon, shrimp.
- Macaroni. - Macaroni.
I'll talk less and move faster to save time.
Talk, will you?
I talk all the time.
- Sliced onions. - Stir-fry in a pan.
- Earlier... - Is that cooking oil?
Stir-fry in cooking oil and then add butter.
Butter and oil have a different ignition point.
- Butter burns before oil does. - Does that matter?
Butter burns at 60 degrees.
Explain what you're doing.
- How do you do that? - He did it his whole life.
- Do you practice? - What? Practice?
A lot. When I was younger.
I wanted to know if you had to practice.
- It goes same for Jaeseok. - We're different.
- Don't be so modest. - Don't be modest.
It's nothing much but it looks good already.
- What's that? - I'm adding flour.
- Flour. - Just plain flour?
- What for? - This is called "roux."
- It smells so nice. - As a thickening agent?
To make it sticky.
- The smell... - Like starch.
- The smell... - It smells foreign.
It's going to taste so good.
Isn't it so simple? How come...
- How come flour... - Oh, the smell.
Just flour?
The flour has to cook, too.
No one eats uncooked plain flour.
- Flour can burn and stick. - It can.
How come this isn't sticking at all?
- What's this? - Salt.
- I'm surprised. - Add salt and pepper.
To this you add the cheese.
- You cooked this for Jiwoo. - Yes.
- What did she say? - It smells great.
After she was done
- she asked me to cook it again. - Another time?
Why are you mixing cheeses?
- It's macaroni and cheese. - Are they different?
- Mac and cheese. - American moms make this.
Mac and cheese.
- It smells fantastic. - I can't wait to taste it.
Is this your favorite?
- Jordan's. - Oh, Jordan's favorite?
And Mirae's.
- It's so easy to make. - Add milk if it's thick.
Then boil and you're done.
- Is that it? - If you don't have this...
I love that.
You can also use what comes with delivery pizzas.
Let's go.
- What's that? - That was quick.
- Parmesan. - Parmesan.
It doesn't taste as good without this.
I bet it's good.
Take a few scoopfuls with your spoon.
- You always crush something on top. - He does.
You always crush something.
- Have some. - I love this.
- Share. - There's ketchup, too.
Thanks.
I'm so nervous.
We can share.
Can I have a spoon?
- Is it tasty? - It is.
It's a frenzy.
- Thank you. - Jaeseok, you'll need ketchup.
It's delicious.
It's so good.
Is it nice?
- It's lovely. - What's it called?
- Mac and cheese. - Mac and cheese.
- Wow. - It's great.
Myungsoo, do you like it that much?
- He likes this kind of flavor. - US flavors?
- It's not greasy. - I can't eat it twice, though.
- I could eat this twice. - Try it with ketchup.
Mac and cheese can get too salty.
This isn't salty. It tastes even better with ketchup.
It isn't greasy.
Raymon cooks everything so quickly.
Faster is better when cooking for a woman.
Did this take ten minutes?
It takes eight minutes to cook the pasta.
It's best to be done within eight minutes.
It tastes different with ketchup.
This is usually salty or greasy.
- This is the complete opposite. - It is.
Kids must love it.
- This can never taste bad. - JK, is this dinner?
It has bacon, so...
It's light but perfect.
- The bacon... - It's delicious.
He really is the best.
It's impossible to beat.
Next up is Byul. Come and join us.
Myungsoo.
- What's that? - What's that
It's kimbab. Pork belly kimbab.
- Pork belly kimbab with a dip. - It looks great.
- Pork belly kimbab with dip? - It's very fattening.
My husband and I vow to lose weight every day
but every day we fall off the bandwagon.
This is what we eat when we feel our worst.
The calories are off the charts.
We eat this when we let go of everything.
So you make and eat this at home.
Could you come and show us how to make this?
First of all you cook the pork belly.
Cook the meat on a low heat.
Mix some sesame oil into the rice.
- It's always an appetizing smell. - It is.
I use very little rice and a huge chunk of meat.
Now I'll make the dip.
This is the sound of a festival, a party.
It sounds like rain.
Let me tell you about this dipping sauce.
Before I got married, I was a regular at this sauna.
Charcoal saunas serve the best food.
I loved their grilled octopus legs
and they came with this dip.
I loved it so much and it was so easy to make.
- Octopus legs? - How...?
- Mayo. - Mayonnaise and diced chili peppers.
- And some soy sauce. - One large spoonful.
This dip works with almost anything we eat.
- One-for-all? - Yes.
- Are you watching the meat? - He's doing fine.
- That's perfect. - It's done.
- This is just lovely, lovely. - Oh, let's go.
- Keep it crispy. - It's best with the pork skin.
It's best if the meat is crispy.
- You put it out like this. - It'd be good as is.
Put the pork in the center.
Then you just roll it up like normal kimbab.
- The sauce... Oh, it's a dip. - It's a dip.
- Is that it? - You've done this a lot.
Look at that handiwork.
There's the first roll.
Let's...
- Let's eat. - It'd be good like this
This has to taste good.
- It looks great. - You could start a chain.
You could.
What are these sausages?
This isn't the main dish.
- I'll make candied sausages. - Candied sausages?
- It sounds nice. - I thought of cooking it one day.
I first developed this in elementary school.
- You developed it? - There's nothing special.
It tastes slightly odd so you'll love it or hate it.
It's so easy to make.
It's something a kid would think of.
- Like a street snack or junk food. - You're right.
It turns yellow.
- I've never seen anyone cook this. - Me neither.
Why did I never think of cooking this?
- This is my own recipe. - Doesn't it melt?
It doesn't.
- This sausage... - You're learning a lot today.
- I don't eat that. - Don't you?
It's a fishcake sausage.
It's chewy and almost rubbery in a way.
- It's firm. - When you heat it like this
- it becomes even firmer. - Not softer?
Just sprinkle some sugar and cook until it's yellow.
You can really cook. I only thought you could sing.
Dunk it deep into the chili dip.
- Deep? - As much as you can.
It will taste slightly odd.
- It's nice. - Is it?
Not bad, is it?
- It's nice. - What about the dip?
Give me some.
Can you give me a piece with the dip?
I've never tasted anything like this before.
- It's not bad. - The more dip the better.
I did it.
Try a piece.
It's such a simple but tasty dip.
It's nice and spicy.
- What do you think? - It's perfect.
- It's not greasy? - Not at all.
- Surprisingly not, right? - That isn't greasy?
- Surprisingly. - The dip is a huge plus.
This dip would work with tempura.
- The chili pepper is the magic ingredient. - It is.
- He smiled. - What is it?
- How is it? - Why is he smiling?
I can't eat spicy foods.
But this is good.
- It's pleasantly spicy. - He liked my food.
- It's good. - If you like it spicy,
you can add more ground chili peppers.
My husband loves spicy food
so it's half mayo and half chili peppers.
- Isn't it odd? - It's nice.
It has an interesting texture.
- It's lovely. - It's a great snack.
Do you prefer it with or without sugar?
Hang on, this is good, too.
It's really odd. You can't stop eating it.
It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
I make a plate and sit in front of the TV.
You keep reaching for more.
- I finished mine. - Isn't it nice?
At first you wonder, "What am I eating?"
- But you keep reaching for more. - It's strange.
Raymon, didn't you say you don't eat this?
I don't like the smell
but a lot more sugar and crushed nuts might help.
- That's a good idea. - He always adds something.
Thank you for cooking for us, Byul.
- It was delicious. - Great job.
Thank you.
I really liked today's snacks.
Raymon impresses me each time.
We didn't talk to them for too long
- but they made me think about love. - They did.
Thank you for joining us on our Romantics Special.
We'll be back next week.
- See you then. Thank you. - Thank you.
