(Life is sweet and salty.)
(He'll buy everything from a camera to furniture.)
(The sense of accomplishment when you get what you want)
(You only live once. You should do what you want to do.)
We have such amazing lecturers in the studio today.
(What a sweet life! YOLO!)
(The ant is...)
(working hard as usual.)
(This is the life of a miser.)
(Did you make writers pay for your drinks?)
(Being a miser doesn't mean you are sensible.)
(Sweet versus Salty.)
(Their conversation has become a war.)
(And that actually is quite fun to watch.)
( "Crying out YOLO next to the misers" begins.)
I'm Gook Jin.
I'm crying out love in the center of broadcast industry.
Susie.
- That's not how you cry out. - You are just calling her name now.
It should be like, "Susie!"
Susie!
I, Jong Shin, is crying out climbing in the center of the charts.
(Are you happy that you are in love?)
Kim Hyun Cheol and Tak Jae Hoon...
are very suspicious about your success.
- I actually feel the same. - It's weird.
I think it's very strange too. I feel sorry...
- for the younger musicians. - You don't have to feel that way.
It's not like it'll happen all the time.
I'm Gu Ra. I'm crying out...
all alone I cry out harsh criticisms.
People will understand me someday, right?
- Ji Hun. - I, Ji Hun,
cry out variety shows in the acting industry.
Hooray for Korean variety shows!
(Laughing)
- That's not all. - Please read the next one.
I hope you will enjoy today's show.
We've been crying out for 10 years among a number of TV shows...
that we're the hub of variety shows and MBC.
This is a high-end talk show, Radio Star.
Our today's special MC is Actor Kim Ji Hun.
He's playing in a weekend drama.
He showed his peculiar side on variety shows.
We should talk about his drama.
- His drama is "The Good Thieves". - That's right.
My character is completely different from how I look on variety shows.
I'm playing a prosecutor.
- That's right. - I contemplated it a lot.
I was afraid the image I have on variety shows...
- might affect my character. - No way.
Don't underestimate the viewers.
- They won't get influenced. - Don't underestimate them.
Then, why did you decide to come?
- I gave myself a mission today. - I see.
I'll be funny while maintaining the image of my character.
You're not funny right now.
(It's always difficult to be funny on a variety show.)
- You were a guest three years ago. - That's right.
- He came on this show. - Do you like our recent episodes?
As I would be the special MC today,
- I watched six episodes in days. - You didn't have to do that.
You're an MC for just one day.
- One episode would be enough. - I'm a responsible person.
I want to do well.
You're the most handsome special MC though.
- Thank you. - He's the most handsome.
We'll trust Ji Hun and leave it to him.
- All right. - Okay.
Today, we're going to meet completely different guests.
We invited two adopters of YOLO,
and two men who save money in a stingy way.
Today's theme is "Crying out YOLO next to the Misers".
First, car racing, motorcycle, camera, and action figure.
Once he sets his mind on something, he sees through it.
It must've cost him a fortune.
His YOLO lifestyle is over the top.
The old Peter Pan, Cho Min Ki.
Cho Min Ki.
She got a nickname Princess Mi Na through "The Golden Bell Challenge",
and became very popular.
After getting married, she quit her job as an announcer.
Then, she quit her marriage and hosting TV shows.
She's a quitting expert.
However, every time she quit something, she starts another.
The free soul, Sohn Mi Na.
- She's a starting expert. - That's right.
Let me introduce the next guest. He's very famous for this.
He uses 3 sheets at 1 time, and flushes his toilet after 2 times.
- Only when... - Even number two?
- Only when he does number 1. - Number 1.
What kind of person do you think he is?
- No, no. - He wouldn't...
- Only when he does number one. - It's possible.
Only when he does number one. He told this on TV before.
- Is that so? - Who would leave poop in there?
- Does it make sense to you? - No, no.
- Are you sure? - Only when he does number one.
Let's ask him later.
(I can't believe him.)
He found a new paradigm for a stingy lifestyle.
Kim Eung Soo.
He's a stingy actor.
He wanted to become a lead actor like the one in "Harry Potter",
but he's been a reporter instead of Harry Potter for 25 years.
But recently, with one receipt, he reached the peak of his career...
for the 1st time in 25 years of being unknown.
- It's his first time. - Yes.
He even makes people around him stingy like him.
The stingy man, Kim Saeng Min.
- Welcome. - He's so stingy.
- Welcome to Radio Star. - Welcome.
(Cho Min KI, Sohn Mi Na, Kim Eung Soo, Kim Saeng Min)
Eung Soo, I was right, wasn't I?
I was right, right?
Why can't you tell number 1 and 2 apart?
- That was nonsense. - Of course, it's number one.
- I wouldn't leave it in my toilet. - Of course. It makes no sense.
It's ridiculous.
- You used to be very stingy. - Of course. Nonsense.
I thought it was number two.
Gook Jin, you got rusty.
(I haven't seen you for a while, and you got rusty.)
Min Ki.
Okay. Hello. I'm Cho Min Ki.
- Stingy? - Yes.
- Yes. - Sorry?
I'm stingy.
- You're an adopter of YOLO. - No, you're not.
- These two are stingy. - Are you stingy?
- He's not stingy. - Did he just come clean?
He lives his life freely.
- You enjoy your life. - Yes.
Stingy men never have that kind of hairstyle.
- Of course. - They never perm their hair.
This is an example of how stingy men normally dress.
- That's nonsense. - All right.
- Stingy men dress like that. - I think I saw that outfit before.
I saw Saeng Min wearing that shirt before.
- He always wears that on TV. - That's right.
(He wore it in the 1st episode of "Kim Saeng Min's Receipt".)
(It turns out he wears the shirt very often since a few years ago.)
- Mi Na, please say hello. - Okay.
Hello. It's been a while.
It's been a very long time since I last appeared on an MBC show.
Eung Soo, please say hello.
Hello. I'm Kim Eung Soo, the stingy actor.
The stingy actor.
- Saeng Min, it's your turn. - Okay.
Hello. I'm Kim Saeng Min.
- This is my 1st time. - It's your 1st time on MBC?
- I don't think so. - Yes, since it was rebuilt.
- Really? - I've been in a small studio,
- He's never been here before. - I haven't been in an open hall.
- This is not an open hall. - An open hall?
How can this be an open hall?
- I mean... - It's not open space to begin with.
- This is a studio. - Should the audience all stand up?
(He's so nervous that his hand is shaking.)
Min Ki, when you first heard about today's guests,
you said that it should be "The Mature Versus the Immature"...
considering the guests.
- Who are the mature ones? - Which of you are the mature?
I heard the four of us would be on the show.
- Saeng Min is mature. - He's mature.
- He sure is mature. - I came here and thought...
that you split the teams like this.
(YOLO versus stingy)
In my opinion,
just because someone is stingy, it doesn't mean he's mature.
- That's right. - Yes. I learned about Saeng Min...
while I was reading the script.
I get that he's thrifty, but I don't understand some of his behaviors.
For example, he borrows other people's clothes,
and he never spent a penny when he met Shin Dong Yeob.
He brags about that to other people.
I'm not sure if that can be considered mature.
I understand what you mean.
I can't seem to follow him.
- You don't understand what he said. - Why can't you understand me?
- You don't have to understand him. - That's right.
I don't care.
Min Ki said that Eung Soo looks like a dried yellow corvina.
- What does that mean? - A dried yellow corvina?
You mean that his face looks like dried yellow corvina, right?
I thought about Eung Soo.
He's a stingy type of man.
While I was thinking about him,
I thought his royal face looks like a dried yellow corvina.
- A king's face looking like a fish? - What does that even mean?
He called Eung Soo's face a royal face.
- He also said it looks like a fish. - He just talked about the looks.
Even if you hang the fish to watch it instead of eating it,
- you eat it eventually. - That's right.
- You eat it in the end. - Thank you for the food.
- The fish will go bad. - I don't know why you said that.
- This is a difficult show. - It's difficult.
I didn't understand a word you said from the beginning.
It's difficult for a logical person.
(They kept Radio Star for 10 years with their unreasonable comments.)
Min Ki said...
that he was excited to be here because of Saeng Min.
I thought I should adopt...
Saeng Min's lifestyle.
It's impossible for the other guests to live like I do.
Really?
For the past 25 years,
I took up low-paying jobs.
- I appeared on morning shows. - That's right.
I have to get up at 5:05am to be on a morning show.
- That's right. - What's your point?
Everyone here except me is a popular celebrity.
However, I endured all of the difficulties for 25 years.
- I can't believe him. - What are you talking about?
Did you hear what he said?
- He has weird resentment. - Everyone here went through a lot.
- He could cause a controversy. - Us actors...
- work all night for a few days. - Being an announcer isn't easy.
What are you talking about?
I'm just saying that my life has been sorrowful.
- Why would that be sad? - I don't get it.
- Saeng Min, you should know this. - Gosh.
You've been hosting "Let's Go Video Travel" for 23 years.
- See? - Is that true?
- For 23 years? - What I get paid for a month is...
the same as your pay for 30 minutes.
- Would you like to switch it? - That's complete nonsense.
It's a false accusation. Do you know how much I get paid?
- He's paid quite a lot. - I don't mind revealing my pay.
Why would we reveal it here?
Exactly.
- What I'm saying is... - He saved money frugally.
- For 23 years. - All TV celebrities dream of...
- hosting a show for that long. - That's true.
- Aren't I right? - Thank you for saying that.
There was a time when Gu Ra couldn't even get any job.
It hasn't been that long since he became successful.
- That's right. - Has it been long for you?
- Yes, it has. - Gosh.
I was pretty successful in the 1990s too.
(He looks so rich.)
- Gu Ra is... - Eung Soo.
You said that Gu Ra would hit it off the best with you among the MCs.
- Yes, I did. - What do you two have in common?
- We'd hit it off well. - I like his pace.
For example, Ji Hun slowed down the pace of show.
Then, Gu Ra would speed up the pace again.
- Generally speaking... - Look at Ji Hun.
- Are you criticizing me? - No.
It was a hypothetical example.
Also, he gets attention when he talks because he talks fast.
- His diction is good too. - That's because...
he doesn't give others time to think. They have to listen to him.
- They can only listen to him. - His voice is too loud.
- No. His voice is... - He's criticizing you.
He has such a loud voice.
- That's not true. - How should I take this?
- Is this really a compliment? - Also,
what he says always includes...
good information.
In other words, he's sophisticated.
- That's why I like him. - Both of you...
carry your phones and wallets with you all the time.
- Gu Ra, do you do that too? - I always carry my phone...
because I need to search on the internet during my shows.
- He always carries his wallet too. - I carry my wallet with me.
He never leaves his wallet to others.
- Do you have your wallet now? - Is that true?
- Yes. - In fact,
- wherever I go, - He's taking out his wallet slowly.
- I carry my wallet and phone. - I see.
- My wallet is right here. - He used this wallet for years.
- To tell you the truth... - His wallet looks much older.
- His wallet is older than mine. - I feel uneasy.
When I have no cash, I feel uneasy.
(Gu Ra understands how it feels.)
I always carry my wallet.
Do you carry your wallet even when you film a historical drama?
- Oh, my. - While you're riding a horse...
How did you know that?
A credit card falls off in Joseon Dynasty.
When I get an offer for a part in a historical drama,
I consider whether there are pockets in the costumes...
Some of them don't have costumes with pockets.
I don't take up the part if they don't have costumes with pockets.
- Even if it's a great drama? - I wouldn't play in it.
- Even if it's a great drama, - It's because...
you don't play in it because of the costume?
Did all of your costumes you were in dramas have pockets?
- Yes, they did. - I see.
- They had pockets. - An inside pocket?
- No. It's in the pants. - In the pants.
Also, they attached a zipper in the front.
Some of them don't do that.
Whether the costume has a pocket...
decides whether I play in the drama or not.
It's a critical point to consider when I make a decision.
(I feel relieved because I have my wallet.)
Saeng Min, is it the same for you?
You don't carry money with you, right?
- In 1994... - Yes.
What are you talking about?
I just started telling a story. I don't like this atmosphere.
You have to go on despite that.
- I'm sorry. - He said sorry in Japanese.
(They continue talking in an unreasonable way.)
Saeng Min welcomed the 1st heyday in 25 years of his life.
"Kim Saeng Min's Receipt" has been downloaded 10 million times.
That's incredible.
How are you feeling these days?
My wife has been very excited...
since last night.
It's because of your visit to Radio Star.
When this episode airs, more people will listen to the podcast.
- Wait a minute. - It has been downloaded...
- more than 10 million times. - I have a question.
- What is the podcast about? - What is the topic?
You should first tell us what it's about.
I need to bring up Song Eun I to talk about it.
I have listened to it.
Since Saeng Min is the guest, I listened to three episodes.
- It's a podcast. - Yes.
- He came prepared. - I listened to the podcast.
A client who wants to save money shares his or her expenses...
by sending in the receipts.
Then the MCs analyze the receipts...
and judge the expenses with his sense of economy.
"This is stupid."
"This is great."
It's a 1-on-1 financial consultation service.
300 dollars for transportation.
It must be for gas.
She can take the subway...
- and meet the man of her dreams. - That's what she should do.
150 dollars for potato snacks.
Stupid! Stupid!
It's super stupid.
("Kim Saeng Min's Receipt")
- Even I can do that. - "This is stupid."
- Even I can do that. - "This is great."
I know you can, but it's different when Saeng Min does it.
You actually do spend money on things,
while Saeng Min doesn't.
That's the difference.
You have an insight.
You made a popular expression, "Stupid."
- That's right. - "Stupid."
Three years ago, Song Eun I and Kim Sook decided...
to try something different in the small room in Hapjeong-dong.
Yu Jae Seok was the expert of self-management.
Lee Yeong Ja was the expert of food.
I was the expert of economy.
For three years, they called those experts for their podcast.
- Did they call Jae Seok, too? - Yes, they did.
Then they invited me to their podcast, "Confidentiality".
During the third consultation,
a listener asked, "I make 2,000 dollars a month,"
"but I want to live in a house with a 1,000-dollar monthly rent."
"Would it be a wrong choice?"
- It's easy. - Without thinking much, I said,
"In my town, people with those kinds of thoughts..."
"are called stupid."
The MCs laughed so hard.
They said, "Saeng Min, this is funny."
I didn't know what they were talking about.
I should make money if it's funny.
"I should make money if it's funny." Those are wise words.
That's right.
(Laughing)
I worked hard and the segment blew up.
The segment blew up.
I think I know the podcast.
I recently got a call from Song Eun I.
She never calls.
She always sends me text messages...
about churches and pastors.
I don't even go to church.
She has been sending me those text messages for seven years.
She must have promised herself...
to convert you.
I called her back and said, "Why did you call me earlier?"
"The listeners of our podcast..."
"asked a question about you."
"They think your jaw is growing."
"Okay."
- You were fooled. - "Okay. I am hanging up now."
That must be the podcast.
Why are you talking about yourself for 30 minutes before the guests?
He always does that.
If you are unhappy about it, you should interrupt me.
- You always do that here. - Talk about SM Entertainment.
- It's through Radio Star... - You should ask questions,
- I hear about him the most. - not talk about yourself.
(Did I do that?)
When the scriptwriters called to invite you to Radio Star,
you said, "I want to visit 'Infinite Challenge'."
Why did you say that?
I heard that...
the shoot for Radio Star lasts 4 to 5 hours.
The scriptwriters called often too. I thought it was great.
"I will call you again, Saeng Min."
I also had to call them too.
I ended up calling them more.
"Let's take out that question. Can we talk about this again?"
I kept making suggestions.
"We shouldn't have invited him."
That's right. I called again the next day out of a habit.
Since I didn't have much to say, I asked,
"Do you think I will get a call from 'Infinite Challenge'..."
"after my episode of Radio Star airs?"
I treated the scriptwriter...
- like a shaman. - The scriptwriter told me that...
Saeng Min made her ignore a guest's call for the first time.
(He is calling again.)
Mi Na, you must be close to Jong Shin.
You once went on a trip with him.
- We didn't go on a trip. - No, we didn't.
Jong Shin and I have been close...
ever since I was an anchor.
I was living in Paris...
- when I received a call from him. - I had a shoot for a music video.
"I am going to Paris to shoot a music video."
"Which hotel should I stay in?"
I only recommended him the hotel at first.
- It was close to my place. - Le Marais.
That's right. However,
he came with one cameraman.
He needed a translator. Also, there were...
props such as hats.
- Someone had to carry them. - It was "Monthly Yoon Jong Shin".
That's right.
You took the frugal way.
- The cameraman and I were... - That's right.
the only ones who went.
It was Jong Shin's first time to visit Paris.
- It was my first time. - That's right.
- He said that he loved the place. - Le Marais.
He wanted to stay in Le Marais.
For five days, we ate food and drank wine.
I talk a lot.
(I talk a lot.)
I bet you wrote a song during the stay.
My trip was for "Arrival" by Lena Park.
He came to shoot a music video for that song.
During that time...
Would you play it for a second?
Play what?
My song.
You became incredibly arrogant...
ever since your song placed first.
- You became incredibly arrogant. - My goodness.
- You shouldn't be that way. - I am not like that.
- You need words of advice. - The thing is...
You are in no place to give him words of advice.
(You are in no place to give him words of advice.)
Ji Hun, let's bring in the important questions.
There are questions...
the viewers want to ask the guests.
- I brought those questions. - The viewers?
Let's start with Min Ki.
We gathered the questions from the viewers in advance.
"Is Cho Min Ki handsome?"
Isn't he ugly?
Eung Soo, what do you think?
I met Min Ki for the first time when he was in theater.
He looks much cooler now.
The thing is,
he doesn't dress up.
I think he dressed up today.
(He got his hair permed too.)
- Let's see the answer. - What's the answer?
People ask and answer among themselves on the web.
"I suppose everyone has different views,"
"but he isn't ugly."
"Since he looks okay on TV,"
"he must be handsomer than most people."
"Let's just say that he is handsome."
(The conclusion)
"Here you go."
I don't get it.
- "There you go." - Why are they reaching...
conclusions on their own about my looks?
"Here you go."
Those words can't be more accurate.
"Let's just say that he is handsome."
- That's right. - He is...
Here is what I think.
- That means he isn't handsome. - I mean, Min Ki is...
- He is the worst. - No, no.
Min Ki isn't incredibly handsome.
It's a matter of personal taste.
- It's so annoying to have... - Look.
my looks criticized by Gook Jin.
Let's just say that he is handsome.
(Here we go.)
Here is one about Saeng Min.
"What is Saeng Min's job?"
- "Is he a comedian?" - "Is he a comedian?"
Let's see the answer.
Here is the answer.
"I think he is either a reporter or an anchor."
- That's cruel. - "I don't think he is a comedian."
He debuted as a comedian.
I only learned today he is a comedian.
- Really? - I had no idea.
When Saeng Min debuted, he was very popular...
due to his handsome looks.
- Really? - Yes, he was very popular.
- However, he wasn't funny. - No.
(How sad!)
I had a bad case of stage fright.
He wasn't funny.
1 of the 2 reasons why I lived with desperation...
is that I had an opportunity.
That fact embarrasses me.
The name of the opportunity is "Bongsoonga School".
- You were in the skit. - You played a student.
Gook Jin was the popular comedian in the skit.
I sat in the back row.
Since it's the omnibus comedy skit,
I had an 88 percent chance of becoming a star.
- That's right. - Most people in it become a star.
88 percent?
The skit has a simple topic on the blackboard.
"English", "Worry", "Body".
Then the eight students only have to prepare an appropriate joke.
I just had to tell a joke I came up with in advance,
but I couldn't remember the lines.
I broke out in cold sweat.
I was hanging from the edge of the cliff...
and wondering if I should look for a different profession...
when I got a job offer from a morning program.
That's how I left the world of comedy.
If the 88 percent of the comedians became a star,
who are in the 12 percent? There is you.
I don't like your sense of humor.
Seriously.
It's only a curiosity.
I represent the viewers.
- That's right. - "Who are in the 12 percent?"
- That's Gu Ra's sense of humor. - Who are they?
I don't want to live that way.
Is it Bae Dong Sung? It must be Bae Dong Sung.
- He is a senior comedian. - Bae Dong Sung.
He is a senior comedian I respect.
What will you do about the viewers' curiosity?
(He is the representative.)
If you have a stage fright, why did you become a comedian?
- That's right. - Why did you want to be a comedian?
You should have become a pastor.
Pastors shouldn't have a stage fright.
They get frightened before the higher power.
Pastors need faith.
They just need to read the words on the bible.
They use ad-libs too.
- Really? - Of course they do.
- They talk about their insight. - To talk about that,
I need to take you back to 11th grade.
Let's hear it later.
- Let's hear it later. - All right.
We will read about it through an article.
(We have heard enough for today.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the four guests who either live by the YOLO or the frugal lifestyle.
Min Ki is a collector.
- He has seven classic cars, - Really?
three motorcycles,
800 pairs of glasses,
and countless plastic models.
- I have that many pairs of glasses. - Saeng Min.
What do you think about this? He has seven classic cars.
- Is it stupid? - No, no.
- Saeng Min. - I need to hear the full story.
However, Min Ki has different interests in life.
Let's say he has his reasons for his collections.
Still, it's completely stupid.
I don't understand it.
I only focus on learning about money.
I don't care about anything other than money.
I couldn't help but have this thought.
"Wait a minute."
"Min Ki doesn't gets hit with a lot of work."
- My goodness. - He only shows up here and there.
How is he supposed to get hit with work?
Should he get hit like this?
It's just an expression I use.
You should know since you write lyrics.
- I got hit with lyrics yesterday. - That's right.
That's what I couldn't help but think about.
It's not like Min Ki is in...
a lot of movies.
It must cost a fortune to collect those things.
I didn't buy seven cars at once.
I didn't buy 800 pairs of glasses...
- at once. - You bought them over 30 years.
When there are good items...
in the areas of my interest...
and I have the money to possess them,
- I buy them one by one. - That's right.
If you consider the money like Saeng Min,
I am completely stupid.
However, I don't think that I wasted money.
I pursue my own happiness...
and the sense of accomplishment I feel from having what I want.
I believe it's as important as possessing wealth.
- That's right. - The thing is,
you don't have to think like Saeng Min...
to criticize having 7 cars and 3 motorcycles.
Most people would think,
"Is it necessary to have them?"
Do you have a pair of jeans?
- Sure. - He always wear hiking pants.
- He always wears hiking pants. - Seriously.
He wears hiking pants even though he never hikes.
- He is incredible. - He is always at the bottom.
(I love hiking pants.)
Most people clean the plastic models with a brush,
but you do it differently.
I let them be for a while...
and bathe them once a year...
in the tub.
You dump them into water.
- You are an interesting man. - The experts will be appalled.
- You are an interesting man. - Do the plastic models sweat?
No.
Why would they sweat?
I wash them with water.
Doing so peels the paint away,
- but I think it's charming. - I see.
You use the classic method.
You are the rebel in the world of plastic models.
(The rebel in the world of plastic models)
Eung Soo, you think having a hobby is a luxury.
Yes.
His values are different.
You don't play golf because it's dull.
Tossing sticks during childhood taught me everything I need to know.
- I don't need to play golf. - He has some strange thoughts.
One time, Saeng Min came to the indoor golf course...
- I was at. - That's right.
However, he didn't play golf. I asked, "Why aren't you playing?"
He said he doesn't want to spend money.
My goodness.
He didn't want to spend money.
- He should have played golf. - I asked, "Why did you come?"
He came, but didn't want to spend money.
I have a story about Saeng Min.
It must have happened over 100 years ago.
I was deciding on where to live. I like Pyeongchang-dong.
Saeng Min said, "You are wrong."
"You have to go to Banpo." I said I don't like apartments.
- "Apartments are better." - I can tell you what happened.
I said, "I think it will be better..."
"if you live at the apartment."
"Then all residents will share the maintenance cost."
"It will be more convenient."
Jong Shin had a few bottles and said,
"Saeng Min."
"I think you are wrong."
Did I really say that?
"You need to live at a place with clean air."
When it rains,
- the place I live gets huge worms. - That what I said.
That's when I realized Jong Shin and I won't get along.
Mi Na lives by the YOLO lifestyle and does what she wants.
She is the CEO, the principle of The School of Life,
an editor of a press,
travel writer, novelist, and lecturer.
- She holds six titles. - Those are the titles people want.
I came to hold many titles. However, if you think about it,
everything I do have the same theme.
- That's what I think. - You write.
- I communicate with the public. - Traveling frequently made you...
the principle of The School of Life.
Which profession helps you earn the most amount of money?
Isn't it a travel writer?
- They get paid to travel. - A lecturer.
- No, it has to be a travel writer. - It's a lecturer.
- Wouldn't it be a CEO of a company? - A lecturer.
She is the best-selling author.
My vote is on a travel writer.
Which profession helps you earn the most amount of money?
So far, it has been a travel writer.
- Of course. - She is a million seller.
Since I don't write as much these days,
other professions bring in more money.
Does the publishing company pay for your traveling expenses?
Many people are curious about that. When I left KBS,
people said I had received money from the publishing company.
That wasn't true.
I studied abroad in Spain when I was an anchor.
Anchors don't get paid much.
I had to use all of my savings to study abroad.
KBS doesn't give a lot of money.
You are right. That's how I studied abroad.
I had a chance to write a book about my experiences there.
That book garnered a good response.
- That's right. - Did it sell...
- more than a million copies? - It sold over 400,000 copies.
It came out over 10 years ago.
It's okay to use money for an experience.
YOLO is all about...
doing what you truly want.
It can be Min Ki's lifestyle or someone else's.
Doing what you want opens new roads.
- It's the same with traveling. - We are leaning a lot...
from these incredible lecturers.
Eung Soo saves money...
on everything except for drinks.
(Eung Soo saves money on everything except for drinks.)
People who love to drink acknowledges that.
Here is the thing about drinking.
You can't drink alone. You can travel alone.
You are surrounded by friends or other people...
when you drink.
You can drink alone.
Drinking builds relationships.
- That's right. - Many people drink alone.
I am telling you that I don't.
He is talking about his personal experiences.
It's my personal experience.
Why do you keep interfering?
Everyone who used to drink with me became successful.
- The money wasn't wasted. - No, it wasn't.
When I worked in the theater, the senior actors bought me drinks.
Now that I make money,
it's only right that I spend it on the junior actors.
- I do that much. - He isn't so frugal after all.
- You spend on important things. - That's right.
There is YOLO within the frugal lifestyle.
- I live frugally when I have to. - In my opinion,
he lives by the YOLO lifestyle except for saving the toilet paper.
You are right.
(I received a compliment.)
Saeng Min has made many comments that show his frugality.
No, it's this one.
- I am on the next question. - It's this one.
Do I need to teach you these things?
I was going to skip that one.
- It wasn't a mistake. - Look over here.
You skip questions all the time.
- You need to ask the previous one. - All right.
He says he spends money on the others,
but he made the scriptwriters pay for his drinks.
- Who did? - You did.
- Me? - That's right.
He made the scriptwriters pay for his drinks multiple times.
There is no way Eung Soo did that.
I haven't visited Radio Star often.
There is a scriptwriter who was on "Global Junior Show".
When were you in it?
- All right. - It happens.
Did Eung Soo fail to pay because he was drunk?
Did he make no move to pick up the bill?
He made no move to pick up the bill.
He made didn't make a move.
Not many celebrities steal from the scriptwriters.
Don't say that.
How much was the bill?
- How much was the bill? - Celebrities usually pay.
- That's what usually happens. - I think I know what happened.
- The scriptwriters are younger. - To be exact...
Did he make a scriptwriter pay for a chauffeur service?
- He stole from a scriptwriter. - I wouldn't say that.
I think it was willful negligence.
- Was he drunk? - He could have paid,
but didn't stop a scriptwriter from paying.
I am sure he didn't say, "Pay for my drinks."
He just went along with the flow.
I had no idea.
Take my wallet.
Here.
(He only motions throwing the wallet.)
He didn't throw it.
(He puts it back in his pocket.)
- Saeng Min. - Yes?
Let me ask you if it's true.
To save money, you don't befriend people...
and see junior comedians.
You don't tend to seek people out.
What we do outside costs money.
- What we do outside costs money. - That's right.
Saeng Min, what was the biggest amount of money...
you spent on yourself?
- On myself? - He doesn't do that.
- You can't think of an occasion. - No, I can't.
There are many people I have to support.
You don't spend money when you are busy.
- That's right. - It's good to be busy.
He has famous sayings.
Saeng Min has made many comments that show his frugality.
"Be alone if you can."
Having people by your side makes you spend money.
- You have to support them. - "Drink noodle water, not coffee."
- What is noodle water? - Wait a minute.
You get noodle water at a naengmyeon restaurant.
Noodle water is...
the water that was used for cooking noodles.
It doesn't taste like much of anything.
Coffee is quite expensive these days.
At Starbucks, a cup of coffee costs five dollars.
The scriptwriters of Radio Star...
had prepared Starbucks coffee for the guests.
- Starbucks. - Upon receiving it,
Saeng Min was like, "This coffee is so expensive."
- He was overjoyed. - Saeng Min was like,
- "This coffee is expensive." - He loved it.
- The coffee? - What do you do...
when you want to drink coffee?
I don't want to drink coffee.
- No way. - That's what's important.
Caffeine doesn't work that way.
- He never developed a taste for it. - Caffeine doesn't work that way.
You must have things you want to do.
There must be things you want to do that requires spending money.
What are some examples?
- It's a matter of priority. - Forget about priority.
There must be things you want to do,
- possess, or eat. - Don't you want to go somewhere?
Don't you want to go somewhere or eat something?
- Don't you want to have a hobby? - You know,
I follow the orders. For my dad's 80th birthday,
I open an installment savings account.
- My goodness. - Saeng Min.
We are asking you what you want to do.
- For goodness' sake. - There is nothing.
- Is there nothing? - There is nothing.
There is nothing.
- It's a habit. - Think of your instinct.
For example, your colleague has a foreign car.
- Then you might want it too. - No.
- He won't be affected by that. - No, this is also...
- Your questions are too simple. - You might not feel anything.
- He doesn't have any desires? - No, no.
(Ji Hun can't seem to understand him.)
- You have a lot of famous quotes. - I'm happy.
"Money isn't for spending."
"You chew gum when your friend gives you a piece."
Do you have a definite purpose for everything?
"You're supposed to listen to only one minute of the song."
- He meant the preview of the song. - I see.
- This is why preludes have it all. - So you don't pay for the songs?
- The preludes? - As soon as the songs begin...
Back in the days, the songs used to...
build up the mood, but nowadays, the preludes...
of the songs have the best parts.
"Like it" is like that too.
No, the key point is in the later part of the song, but it still won.
(The key point is in the later part of the song, but it still won.)
What do you want to do ultimately after saving money like that?
- I don't know what to do. - He's just saving the money.
That's how he'll live long.
- That... - I don't want to do anything.
- He'll live like that forever? - There isn't anything specific.
- His life will go on forever. - I can do the things I need to do.
(He will lead a frugal life forever.)
You know that Saeng Min is...
hosting a program called "Kim Saeng Min's Receipt".
We only heard him talk about the show earlier.
But I've prepared this.
I prepared Eung Soo's and my receipts.
- My receipt? - I prepared in advance for us.
- So... - My wife can't see this.
- This is my receipt. - You spend a lot of money.
I try to live my life to the fullest.
- I see. - 1,000 dollars for clothes?
- Take a look at his receipt. - He spent a lot on clothes.
- That is a lot of money. - That's right.
- After that... - He spent a lot on his clothes.
He didn't spend much for gas and bowling anyway.
I didn't spend much?
Since you have a personal stylist, he or she will get you clothes.
I wonder if you had to buy clothes.
I think if you are handsome enough, you don't need fancy clothes.
- How about the Japanese restaurant? - Is this stupid?
- He definitely drank Japanese beer. - Exactly.
- It has to be Japanese beer. - Let me explain you about this.
- The Japanese restaurant. - I met my junior colleagues.
I couldn't let my junior colleagues pay for the drinks.
So I paid for them.
Saeng Min, what would you do if you were in his shoes?
You met your junior colleagues.
I'd come up with a plan in which I'd only spend 90 dollars.
- 90 dollars? How can you do that? - You'd only spend 90 dollars?
We can go for fried chicken and beer.
Is your plan giving them the look when they order an expensive dish?
Or I tag along when there's a famous celebrity.
(This is a better plan instead of that.)
What's up with him?
(He tries not to pay.)
- Okay. - Great job.
You spent 22 dollars for a bowling ball.
If you were desperate,
you wouldn't need it.
You can borrow someone else's.
- This is how you'd think. - I can see that.
If you were desperate to save money,
you can put up film posters on the wall since you're a film actor.
Are you saying decorating his house is wasteful?
- You think so, don't you? - He has to prioritize.
(He's not desperate enough.)
- Let me show you Eung Soo's. - Which month is it for?
- A statement for June and July. - June and July?
- When I look at the calendar... - He gets sick often.
- He doesn't spend a lot though. - That's right.
Spending 160 dollars for sashimi is understandable for his age.
It'd be this much if he had eaten croaker sashimi or wild fish.
It's understandable for his age.
When I looked at the calendar, he spent 80 dollars on Monday, July 17.
- Why was he at a hotel on a Monday? - A hotel?
That made me question him.
- If he was desperate... - This does seem a bit fishy.
If you were desperate to save money, you should've gone on a Sunday,
but you went there on a Monday.
- 80 dollars... - I couldn't throw it for a reason.
(His wallet is full of secrets.)
- Why were you at a hotel? - It was for a mourner from afar.
- That's understandable then. - You wanted him to sleep.
- I paid for his room. - That's what happened.
- Given your age, it's not much. - By the way,
this expense was at a gas station. He spent 28 dollars...
twice at a gas station.
- Let me explain. - That...
I filled 30 dollars' worth of gas, but I got a discount with my card.
- You got a card for gas stations. - The credit card with discounts.
- He got a discount. - It was from your credit card.
So you don't fill up the tank then.
- No, never. - You always get 30 dollars' worth?
(To keep the fuel cost low, fill up only 30 dollars' worth of gas.)
Saeng Min, I heard your ultimate goal is going to Hawaii.
- He said he didn't have a goal. - Among many...
I don't have a goal, but I haven't...
been to Hawaii yet.
If I had a place I haven't visited yet,
I thought I'd work hard. My wife wanted to go there, but I'm...
- trying to stall as long as I can. - You're trying to stall?
- Can't he go there for a vacation? - I'll go after I save some money.
- Do you go on vacation? - He's so cheap.
- Yes, I do. - Where do you go for vacation?
I have a sister-in-law who resides in Busan.
You have a sister-in-law?
Since I have a sister-in-law,
- You stay at her house? - I don't spend money for lodging.
I have a big icebox, and we pack food when we go to the beach.
Okay.
- We don't even spend 10 cents. - That's what you meant.
- But... - He doesn't even spend 10 cents.
- Other people... - Do you always go to Busan?
How many years have you gone there?
- I've gone there for three years. - You go there almost every year.
- But my kids... - I bet your kids speak the dialect.
No, no.
"Let's go to Busan."
- "We are in Busan again." - They must be locals by now.
We go there after we pack our food.
- There are 10 of us. - When everyone's there?
There are four children in total.
We borrowed a beach parasol.
You borrowed 1 beach umbrella for 10 people?
(It's packed under the parasol.)
Is there a way to go on vacation with a cheap budget?
These days, people can go on trips with relatively cheap budgets.
That's right. There are a lot of information nowadays.
- Everyone might know. - Back in the days,
taking the boat was the cheapest way to go on trips. It was a joke.
- That's true. - But nowadays, it takes a month.
- Exactly. - The truth is...
Actually, one time, I went to Europe with 1 dollar and 30 cents.
- With just 1 dollar and 30 cents? - Yes.
If you visit the website of an airline that just opened up,
you'll find a few deals like this.
(Pay attention to new airlines.)
I don't emphasize on staying at good hotels when I travel.
If you utilize this community called "couchsurfing",
you can stay at someone's house and exchange each other's culture.
What's more is there's another free accommodation called Warm Showers.
When you travel, you might not get to shower often.
A community of people lets travelers take shower at their houses.
- That's unique. - Is that free of charge?
- Yes, it's free. - She is an expert indeed.
- You can find them easily. - Have you been doubting her then?
- What? - Did you doubt her?
I didn't know she'd be this good.
- I have a question. - Yes.
Since you're a professional traveler,
if Gook Jin and Susie were to go for honeymoon, where would they go?
I'm curious of that.
Can you recommend them a destination?
What is the common interest between you two?
- Common interest? - Some people...
- A couple might enjoy eating. - They don't eat a lot.
Both of them don't eat a lot. They both like extreme situations.
What do you think about the Serengeti?
- Do you like nature? - She doesn't golf.
What do you usually do when you are together?
- We are quiet. - They hold hands.
They stay in the car.
- In the car? - Yes.
Is there a country where people ride cars a lot?
Is there a country where people just ride cars?
When you go to southern Chile,
there's this region called Patagonia.
There's a park called Torres del Paine.
It takes a week to just look around that national park.
- That's perfect for them. - Really?
You can keep holding her hand.
- It takes two days to get there. - You can rent a car.
- It takes two days to get there. - You probably can't stand that.
You'll get old.
(Don't go.)
Eung Soo has the opposite idea of traveling from Mi Na.
"You can travel through TV."
(That's what Eung Soo said.)
Did you mean the programs like "The Travels of Nearly Everywhere"?
We can only see the views within the frames. Don't you agree?
I imagine if I go to the right, there might be a lake.
- You imagine that? - Yes.
But when you watch those programs,
don't you get the urge to visit the places?
Of course I do, but...
just because I get the urge...
For example, I might think a passerby is pretty,
but I can't do something about that even if I think about it.
That's not the right comparison.
- No way. - There are two different stories.
- You can go on trips, but not that. - Your reason...
- Going on trips is not illegal. - The reason...
If you did something to her, it'd be a crime, but going on a trip is not.
I'm sure he meant to stay you'd go on a date with her.
All of you have filthy thoughts.
Did I say I'd do something to her?
- No. - You can't do that.
- You made the wrong analogy. - Your comparison...
It's not the right comparison, but it's easy to understand your point.
- It's clear. - It's convincing.
That's the only reason why I made that comparison.
I'm happier when I work...
- than when I go on a trip. - I agree.
I feel this recently.
It's a matter of what you feel...
- in this routine of your life. - I agree.
It's a positive way of thinking.
Recently, I had a surgery on my shoulder.
After the surgery, I had to put on a cast.
I couldn't even wash my hair.
You can't get the shampoo. When you press the bottle, shampoo will drip.
You can't make it work.
- On top of that... - He can put his head down then.
No, if he does it like this, it works.
- He needs two hands to do that. - He just has to go slow.
He can do it with one hand.
- He can just squeeze the bottle. - He has to go like this.
- Why does he have to press it? - Anyway...
(I'm going to get you.)
I...
(Let me have some shampoo.)
Right now, I'm 57.
I have a dream.
What is it?
- Please tell us. - I...
- I was merely asking a question. - He was just asking.
- You said you had a dream. - Please tell us the dream.
What did he do wrong?
Couldn't you have asked like you're intrigued?
- How can you ask me like that? - Let me do it again.
- He was looking down on me. - No, that's not true.
- It's just a question. - No, that's a misunderstanding.
Let me ask you like I'm intrigued.
10 years later,
I'll be 67.
Until 67, I'm going to save 10 million dollars.
(Intrigued)
From my opinion, I can do it.
I'm sorry, but how will you make this work?
I can't say my business secret on a show with high ratings.
(I can't say my business secret on a show with high ratings.)
Min Ki, you're working as a photographer too.
- He's good. - He does a lot of things.
As a photographer,
among the guests and MCs here today,
whose photo would you like to take?
I'd like to take a photo of Jong Shin.
- Me? - Yes.
When I look at the covers of his old albums...
At that time, he was a faceless singer.
- No, I wasn't. - People saw his face.
He always hid his face like this.
- What do you mean I was faceless? - Look, he's hiding again.
- Was I always in disguise? - People knew who he was.
Okay.
He radiates this...
flavor.
He has some interesting flavors.
A lot of photographers want to take photos of me.
What kind of flavor does he have?
What kind of flavor does someone who looks like this have?
- He's a bit like... - Are you upset you weren't picked?
- I was just curious. - "What kind of flavor is he?"
I'd like to take photos of Gu Ra.
I'd like Gu Ra to be completely naked.
- Sorry? - Naked in real life?
No.
You want him completely naked?
Can't you understand his literary expression?
You're so frustrating.
- That's what you thought too. - I actually thought that.
No, I didn't.
- Exactly. - You're unbelievable.
You think you'd find new sides of him...
- when you strip him down? - That's not the point of it.
I want to point out that's not it.
You want the raw side of Gu Ra.
(Any photographer who likes weird subjects, please contact us.)
Min Ki, you're known to have a lot of hobbies.
You have all the hobbies that cost money which wives hate.
You like camera lenses.
- You'd need a lot of lenses. - They cost a lot of money.
Do you use lenses from Company C or Company F?
- I use higher-quality lenses. - Higher than them? What are they?
I use lenses from Company L and Company H.
- Don't pretend to be knowledgeable. - I know Company L though.
I guess he gets them from Hermes and Louis Vuitton.
(Ji Hun is feeling confident.)
(Playful)
But the thing is...
I bought cameras and lenses because I was curious about them.
But after a year later, looking at the photos I took...
Don't you always use the same ones?
I didn't know when I last used each one.
There were just too many for me to have.
After that, I reflected on my action.
- Now I only buy cameras I use. - That's true.
I heard you went abroad just to shop for your children.
Yes, I did.
- What did you buy for them? - When my children...
- were growing up... - Did you say, "idols"?
- He said, "children". - He said, "children".
His children here, mean his camera lenses.
- No, no. - He meant his real children.
- He's talking about his children. - Really?
- He meant his real children. - My children...
Don't people usually refer lenses as children?
When my real children were young,
they liked gaming devices like Xbox and Play Station.
At that time, those devices weren't available in Korea.
- I wanted to... - You wanted your kids to play them.
- Yes, I wanted to introduce them. - But they didn't want them though.
- I went to Japan since it was near. - Yes, you ought to.
- I went there. - To buy a gaming device?
- That's right. - It only takes 2 hours.
I'm sorry, but when you were telling the story,
- Saeng Min was frowning. - That's why I'm not looking at him.
I kept glancing at Saeng Min the whole time.
(I kept glancing at Saeng Min the whole time.)
When we were young,
- you know this leather bag? - I know that bag.
- It looks like a mailbox. - Japanese students carry it a lot.
- I wanted my kids to carry it. - The backpack.
So I went to Japan again to buy the backpacks.
To buy the backpacks?
I bought two backpacks.
- Those are cool backpacks. - The backpacks were so firm.
The leather skin was so heavy.
- Their shoulders hurt? - Yes.
- It was for a kid. - My daughter put on the backpack,
but when she came back, she looked like this.
(On her way back, her back was bent.)
I bet when you try to get a rare items,
there were times you were conned.
- That happened to me a lot. - That's possible.
I especially like...
- to collect figures of Atom. - Like the plastic figures?
I used to collect the plastic figures of Atom.
I bought it because it was supposed to be a really old one,
but when I got the package...
- Did it look like a knockoff? - Yes, it did look like a knockoff.
How much does it usually cost?
I bet it cost him a lot of money.
- About how expensive was it? - At what time does this show air?
- It airs at 11:10pm. - This part might air at 12pm.
- Do you have to say it at night? - No.
- Is it an erotic story? - I must make sure my wife sleeps.
You must have spent a fortune.
- This airs at 11pm? - Isn't it better to come clean?
- It wasn't your fault though. - Isn't it better to come clean?
It must be more than 1,000 dollars.
- Of course. - That's right.
I bet you did this too.
When men want to buy things they want, they think about their wives.
When the couriers deliver it,
they ask the company to make it look like a winning prize.
- No, I don't. - The collectors...
Had I led that kind of life...
Why would he collect things?
- I'd have collapsed long ago. - That's right.
- He has pride of a collector. - Exactly.
But you'd still have to think about your family though.
- But his method sounds interesting. - No, no, no.
He's patronizing collectors.
(Thank you for getting upset in place of me.)
- My wife said, "You bought again?" - That sounds about right.
- I said, "Yes". - What?
That's the right move. You have to be confident.
- I'd just answer plainly. - That's different.
- Why did you buy this again? - Okay.
- We have this. Why did you buy it? - Okay.
- They look all the same. - They are different.
This is the right way. He has to be firm.
The same thing applies for my glasses frames.
That's right. All of my frames are different.
That's my point. Well, this is...
All my hiking pants are different.
- We know. - If I like a frame...
- Don't think I got a pair of pants. - We know that.
- I have 10 pairs of hiking pants. - A new frame arrived,
and I asked her what she thought about it.
She said, "How is it different?"
- They are all different. - I second that.
- They look the same. - They are very different.
- They are all circular. - After that, now...
Are you still acting?
(This special MC is eager.)
After going through this process for about 10 years...
She gave up.
You can win this battle.
- She realized that makes you happy. - That's right.
I also used to collect furniture.
- Furniture? - Furniture is really expensive.
- You should've stopped collecting. - I didn't...
collect furniture from Korea.
I collected ebony furniture from Vietnam.
They must've cost a lot including the shipping.
So I called her.
I said, "The ebony furniture is so cool."
She said, "Don't buy it."
"But it's really cheap." And I told her the price.
- "Don't buy it." - "Don't buy it."
- Then I bought it. - Did you buy it?
- You bought it then. - I gave her a notice.
I see. At least you shared your intention with her.
- You didn't want to surprise her. - I asked her permission once.
- When they're in Korea, they crack. - Do you use them at home?
- That's why... - That's the problem.
I bought a humidifier strictly for ebony furniture.
The furniture gets all distorted because the climate is different.
Do you still use them?
Well, first of all, because I collected so many of them,
there wasn't enough space for us to live in there.
(Cramped)
People think of Spain when they think of you.
I heard there's a special way of making friends in Spain.
I went to Spain for the first time when I was in college.
When I got there and went to my classes, all of a sudden,
I wondered why I was going to an academy even in Spain.
I could've gone to a Spanish school in Korea.
I gave it some thought on what I should do.
With 1 year's worth of tuition, I had a private tutoring for 1 month.
I thought I ought to learn the rest on the streets.
You went with another method.
I thought that's how I could be able to speak like a native.
Don't you speak Spanish?
- I did study a little. - Jong Shin.
- We even talked in Spanish. - Really?
- Yes, he was good. - I bet it was a basic conversation.
- Can you show us? - Hello.
- Okay. - She's showing us.
- He's not answering me. - What?
I have to be taciturn.
I learned from a teacher who was very taciturn.
He was a man of a few words.
- Your private tutor came. - So I had a tutor.
For a month, my teacher only taught me swearwords.
I asked why I only learned curse words I don't even use in Korea.
He told me that I'd thank him after I learn them all.
Later on I learned that in Spain,
- they were used in a friendly way. - They were commonly used.
- So was it similar to, - What if you say it angrily?
- "Hey, jerk." - It was like saying, "Hey, punk".
There were colloquial expressions used to make friends.
When I was in Spain, there weren't many people from Asia.
People came to talk to me because I was from Asia.
They asked if they could touch my hair.
When I walked into a shop, some asked me to give them an autograph.
- Just because you were from Asia? - Yes.
With that in mind, imagine...
the time in Korea when there were no foreigners.
Imagine a foreigner coming to Korea and swearing.
You'd be like Hendrick Hamel.
- If he were alive. - Hamel?
It's same as Hamel speaking, "What is this?" in Korean out of nowhere.
(Hamel introduced Korea to Europe first.)
- He was like Robert Holley. - "How much is this"?
He might curse like this.
(A Caucasian fluent in Korean?)
(It's still the same country, but it feels different.)
Just like my tutor said,
I made a lot of friends.
- The word about me spread too. - It was since you were talkative.
Shin Dong Yeob is your best pal,
but you haven't even spent 10 cents for him.
This is 99 percent true.
Do you have to share this with us?
He plans to keep it that way.
He won't spent a dime on him.
- He's not going to do that. - If he's this cheap...
It's not a good sight if I pay for Dong Yeob's meal.
Are you serious? Come on.
- But still. - 5 dollars won't bankrupt you.
- That's too much. - The one who usually buys...
- is destined to buy for others. - That's true.
If I were to calculate this in terms of finances, you're profiting.
- That's true. - Aren't I right?
If this were commerce, you earned huge profits from Dong Yeob.
- "If this were commerce"? - He never spent money.
(For 20 years, he ends up with a surplus.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with 2 people who enjoy their lives and 2 stingy men.
- Min Ki. - Yes?
As a someone who enjoys life,
- you planned how you'll die. - I...
- That is so cool. - I had...
- Do you plan to cremate yourself? - No.
I had been wanting to visit Cuba for years.
After waiting for years, I got to visit Cuba.
Above the rock wall on the Malecon,
- known as the seawall, - That's a famous seawall.
There's a hotel...
- called Nacional. - Nacional?
The bar on the 1st floor is outside in the garden.
There are cane couches.
I ordered Mojito, smoked Cohiba...
and was sitting there.
I was overwhelmed by the thought that I was actually in Cuba.
Looking at the sunset of the Caribbean Sea...
I thought that was the place I would spend the last day of my life.
From my traditional point of view, that's dying away from home.
(Pouring cold water on Min Ki's idea.)
That's true.
I actually wrote about it in my book too.
"If I ever die here..."
"nobody will feel awful about me dying away from home."
I even wrote how I would die there.
Now I will...
Does that mean you'll have to get on a plane in an emergency situation?
If I ever feel something...
- Get a plane to Cuba. - To Cuba?
- Isn't it too far? - You won't be allowed...
to be on that plane.
You have to go in advance.
- Don't you have a layover? - They might have to bring you back.
I think there's a good way.
- You can go there first. - And live till I die there?
No, you just go wherever you want to die.
And keep talking bad things about the Castro brothers.
People will hurt you to death.
There will be some people who are still following them.
- They can help you. - They are still supportive.
Some people will agree with what I say, though.
The Castro brothers could have killed everyone in Cuba.
It was just a joke.
Why are you giving me a history lecture now?
I read the book about Che Guevara too.
(I know it too.)
Last Winter... Oh, it was this Spring.
I wrote the lyrics of the song, "Planning my funeral".
Does it say I'm going to your funeral?
- Yes. At around 11 o'clock. - Really?
You will be paying 1,000 dollars.
- I wrote that in. - I see. I can do that for you.
Sohn Mi Na, I've heard you were popular wherever you were.
Were there a lot of people asking you out?
Yes.
How are they different?
She told me about several ones.
People speaking Spanish are very passionate in general.
- Especially... - What do they do to hit on you?
French guys can be a bit shy.
Talking to a stranger is not something they will do often.
Spanish people are different. When you are walking down the street...
they will just tell you how pretty you are.
- "Guapa". - It's like Sinchon in Korea.
- What? - In Korea...
- Is Sinchon like that? - You know...
Sinchon?
- That happens a lot in Sinchon! - Sincheon is like that.
Sincheon is very messy.
- It's chaotic there. - They talk to you on the streets.
- Sincheon is full of those people. - They will just hit on everyone.
Argentina is the worst when it comes to that.
They just kept telling me...
to hang out with them but I couldn't be bothered.
So I told him I was married and had three kids.
- I basically lied. - Did they believe you?
Normally, people get surprised or leave me alone.
But he got closer to me and said, "You are beautiful. So I knew it".
"Do you think I didn't expect that? You are such a beautiful woman."
- Oh, my gosh. - So far...
- There are steps to it. - That's brave.
You said you wanted to get married next year.
I want to start a relationship this year.
- Gook Jin can tell me how. - You are such a beautiful woman!
- You'll be able to find one soon. - Hey...
She asked you how. You can be nice and tell her about it.
- She said she wanted to know how. - It's not difficult to tell her.
You should be on the show, "Flaming Youth".
(A very clear answer)
- If you appear on that show... - Just tell her the key.
Why are you not giving her the proper answer?
She must have been so nervous when she asked you about it.
Is the key necessary?
- It's not difficult to tell her. - Is it necessary?
He looks so shy now.
The color of his shirt is telling us how he feels now.
(Blushed)
I'm pretty manly, though you guys wouldn't think so.
- He is. - I agree.
I don't really act like I'm too careful about it.
I don't act timid or too conscious.
- He'll just say, "Let's go." - I just say, "Let's do this."
- Is that all? - Yes.
- Then she'll go along with me. - To where?
- I don't know. - But...
(Susie! Let's go!)
Here's what Saeng Min, the miser, told us.
You bought your wife a bag from Company C...
after years of consideration.
- It's when we had our 2nd born. - What was the reason?
Did she ask you for that?
While she was pregnant...
- Was she depressed? - Yes, kind of.
She had some mood swing issues.
- I tried really hard... - It's necessary.
but after six years of consideration...
I really tried not to buy one but...
I can see it from your face now.
- You look really sad and bitter. - He looks sad.
- Look at him. - He's thinking how much he spent.
It looks like his regretting now. "Why did I do that?"
- "I should have been more patient!" - It was reasonable though.
- While you were considering it... - He's thinking of money.
the price went up, right?
Some people invest in it.
- She told me later about it. - Really?
If you bought it sooner, you could've earned some.
That's true. It went up for 3,000 dollars.
She actually wanted it when we were getting married...
and having our 1st child. That's 12 years ago.
But I only bought it seven years ago.
- I guess she nagged you about it. - She did.
Saeng Min, have you thought about this before?
Since she gave you a pressure for a while,
you could've thought about getting her a nice looking fake one.
(It doesn't make sense.)
- That's so cheap. - I mean...
- You definitely thought about it. - Fake ones look real sometimes.
- If I do that... - Goodness.
I'm sure he bought her a real one.
It's possible that his wife would go check if it was real or not.
- Of course, I bought the real one. - That's true.
- Would she? - I don't spend much.
- But I don't buy something stupid. - You spend some for that bag.
Why don't you use it too?
(Laughing hysterically)
- What color is it? - Why not?
- It's black. - You should use it.
The more you use it, the more benefits you get.
Maybe.
Many fashionistas wear bags for women even though they are men.
I'm not interested in it at all.
(He denies the trend and isn't interested in it at all.)
Cho Min Ki buys gifts...
that are extraordinary.
He bought his wife a car.
(Amazing)
Did you give her 1 of those 7 cars?
(No way!)
- I'm not you. - This is really...
embarrassing for Min Ki to hear that.
I haven't been on this show for four years. How dare you?
- Why would you say that? - Tell us more about it then.
What about the fake bag story that you told Saeng Min?
- Gook Jin... - It must be embarrassing too.
He tried really hard to save.
- It suits his personality! - A fake bag?
- But it doesn't go with Min Ki! - You are...
looking down on Saeng Min! He tried so hard!
Why would he buy a fake one? That's so embarrassing.
The viewers will understand.
They will think your attitude is making less sense.
They will definitely think so.
Well, I can finally confess now. The car I bought for her was...
the limited edition.
- Of course, you did. - It was collaborated with...
- I knew you would do that. - Company G...
Even the seat belts looks awesome.
It has the signature color of Company G.
The more I talk to him,
it feels like I'm talking to an Arabian prince.
Did you motivate the writer of "Man Who Dies to Live"?
(Hello. I'm Min Ki.)
I don't have the seven cars I used to have any more.
- I just thought it was a good idea. - I see.
I don't collect cars anymore but as soon as I stopped myself from it,
I was just thinking about the cars all the time.
I could see them reflected in my glasses...
like they were right behind me.
So I bought the car.
But I had to justify what I did.
So you bought that car like it was entirely for your wife.
I didn't buy the car cause I wanted to drive it.
How dare you? Why would you embarrass him so much?
What am I saying wrong? I'm just giving my opinion.
- Gu Ra is right. - You were ready to pick on him.
- I was right! - You tried too hard to pick on him.
That was so obvious.
The viewers will think, "I knew Gook Jin was going to do that!"
- "I knew Min Ki would hate him!" - That's not...
"I will get back at him!"
Kim Eung Soo, your wife said you went on a honeymoon in Jeju.
And you guys stayed in a bed and breakfast run by your acquaintance.
I should have known he was such a miser since then.
- For your honeymoon? - It was run by someone you knew.
It was a bed and breakfast, but it was right in front of the beach.
- It was like Aewol-ri. - Oh, Aewol-ri.
- It wasn't developed then. - There was nothing.
Seawater even came to the front yard.
Is that why you went there?
That sounds like a tsunami.
The front yard was flooded!
Seawater got to the front yard.
- It's about ebb and flood. - That's right.
What does Jeju Island have to do with that?
- I thought it wasn't there. - It exists there.
I didn't know it was like that in Jeju Island.
A typhoon even happens there.
(His throwing any words.)
It was where my father-in-law used to go with his university friends.
When I told him we were going to Jeju Island for our honeymoon trip,
he just suggested us to go there.
When did you get married?
- Was it in 1992? - 1992?
- Really? - So...
- You don't remember when it was. - That has been almost 20 years.
- According to the lunar calendar... - You don't remember.
It was February 29. We were looking at the lunar calendar.
The wedding anniversary comes every four years.
(It's a plus.)
It's amazing.
If anyone's getting married, find a date on the lunar calendar.
(Highly recommended)
You came back home from a water park...
because it was too expensive.
- I did. - Where was that?
(Censored for the broadcasting regulations)
- The one in Bucheon? - Yes.
It's not that expensive.
- How much was it? - It was about 68 dollars.
- For one person? - Yes.
- That's expensive. - That's how they make the profit.
What does that mean?
- That logic was out of nowhere. - It's not.
- He was actually surprised. - I wasn't.
- He tried to keep calm. - I didn't.
You are misunderstanding me.
That place has to survive.
- He thought it was 20 dollars. - I didn't.
- It's cheaper than other places. - Really?
You thought about the swimming pools in the past, right?
Yes. I thought...
- Your budget was three dollars. - No, it wasn't.
- You thought about the public ones. - I really didn't.
- I thought it would be 15 dollars. - I'm curious about...
- how you dealt with your kids. - Yes.
You almost went in. You guys were actually there.
Eun Seo couldn't help herself.
She made a huge mess at the entrance.
- She cried, right? - Yes, she did.
- And you didn't go in? - No.
- And I was... - Compared to him, I'm nothing.
- Saeng Min is different. - He is.
Saeng Min would research thoroughly before he goes.
- That's right. - If you went there,
Coming back home from the entrance doesn't sound right.
I felt apologetic to the staff member at the ticket booth.
- Of course, you did. - She recognized me.
She looked very disappointed.
(She recognized me, and looked very disappointed.)
So I suggested we go to Daecheon.
- Daecheon? - Yes. I suggested Daecheon instead.
- From Bucheon to Daecheon? - Yes.
- You'd be tired on the way. - So I...
- I think... - It takes at least three hours.
- When the traffic is bad... - It takes between 3 and 4 hours.
- The trip must cost a lot too. - You have to drive there.
- Let me finish. - Please go on.
I told them to get in the car to go to Daecheon.
- Eun Seo cried for 40 minutes. - Of course, she did.
She cried a lot.
I learned that crying takes a lot of energy.
- She got exhausted. - It's exhausting...
- to cry your heart out. - She was exhausted.
She must've fallen asleep.
Eun Ah went to a store nearby,
and bought an ice cream for her as it was summer.
Eun Seo finally got in the car when she got the ice cream.
She was satisfied at last. It's not that I didn't go in...
because I didn't want to spend 68 dollars on it.
I had my reasons.
We arrived at the water park 30 minutes before the opening hour.
When I was about to buy tickets for the four of us,
I saw a little girl standing there without her parents.
She was looking at me, and she looked very envious.
I still can't forget her eyes.
I felt bad for her.
- He's trying to make it... - She couldn't go in.
- She couldn't go in there. - look like a humanitarian act.
- It doesn't seem right. - All of a sudden.
- We would have... - His own daughter cried so much.
- taken the little girl... - This isn't right.
- to the water park with his family. - Exactly.
I thought he was going to say he took her to Daecheon.
(Saeng Min laughs.)
- I was surprised. - That would be kidnapping.
- Why are you laughing at me? - It's not like that.
- He wanted this a touching story. - However,
her face made me feel so sad.
- That's ridiculous. - I also thought...
She must have...
felt bad for Eun Seo. "What kind of man is he?"
"How can he not take her in there when she's crying her heart out?"
"I feel sorry for her. I went to the water park yesterday too."
That could be the case.
I didn't know that.
(He's innocent.)
I guess you never went to a water park even after that.
- I didn't. - He wouldn't have.
I didn't go to a water park regardless of my wishes.
- Eun Seo gave up on going there. - Of course.
- I understand her. - "Dad would never take me there."
- How does she feel about that now? - It left her a scar.
- It can be hard for a child. - She said she didn't understand me.
- You don't go back at the entrance. - You don't even go there.
- You say no to your children. - Even we can't understand that.
Eun Seo, I'll build a water park so you can play there every day.
You will build one?
(He promised to build a home-made water park.)
It's not just Saeng Min and Eung Soo who trouble people around them.
Min Ki also...
told his manager to take care of his camera before himself,
so his manager always holds his camera in his arms.
If he carries the camera bag like this,
- he might drop it by mistake. - I see.
- I asked him to carry it like this. - Like a cross body bag?
While filming a drama,
I see a lot of picturesque places.
Especially when I film it at night,
the staff create artificial moonlight in the sky.
I also love old palaces. They're beautiful.
I really enjoyed taking photos...
whenever I had a chance while filming my drama.
I was into photography for a while.
- I see. - My manager was like an assistant.
The lighting in the filming set at night is beautiful.
You take photos at your filming sets.
One of the actors I know of...
- Lee Kwang Gi... - Kwang Gi.
- likes to take photos. - I know that.
He often forces me to buy his photos.
- The photos he took? - He prints them out and sells them?
- Yes. - Photos?
- His photos. - Why would he do that?
I bought his photos that were worth 500 and 300 dollars.
I spent 800 dollars.
They could be valuable assets.
I don't think so.
- That will never happen. - Keep them.
- You know... - Listen.
- No, no. - They may not be valuable assets,
but he must've sold them for a charity.
No. He took the money.
He took all the money.
I once asked him what he would do with the money.
He said that he needed that money for making a living.
(He reveals the conversation.)
I bought his photos as artworks.
When you see an artist's face...
Anyway, Kwang Gi looked just like a salesman.
I didn't feel so good.
However, it's just how I felt.
Artists limit the number of prints of photos or engravings.
They limit the number of prints of engravings too.
- They number each print. - They limit the editions.
- They number their artworks. - They don't print that many.
I don't print out many prints.
- I usually print seven copies. - That's common.
- You number each of them. - He printed about 50 copies.
- Seven copies are usual. - He printed a lot of copies.
- Like 7-1, 7-2. - He makes 25,000 dollars.
- Exactly. - The artist keeps the first print.
I felt that he would print more copies.
I had that feeling.
50 copies is a lot.
Saeng Min, you never buy photographs, right?
I don't even understand what you're talking about.
I lost my interest when people talk about spending money.
As Kwang Gi is close friends with you,
I guess he just asked you to buy his photo jokingly.
That's not what happened.
Please don't speak thoughtlessly when you weren't there.
(I'm just kidding.)
We'll begin our new segment we prepared with ambition.
The title is "Whistle Blowing, Is This True?"
We learn about our guests through the guests' friends.
It's our new segment.
We'll give you two keywords given by your friends.
You have to choose one of them,
- and explain about the story. - That's right.
In these envelopes, we have stories about you that your friends told us.
Eung Soo's keywords are "Automatic Door" and "Surrogate Mom".
- Show them to the viewers. - Okay. Hold on.
- Why are you king so unkind? - How can I hold all four of them?
Let's start with Eung Soo's story.
I'll choose "Surrogate Mom".
We don't know if it's a touching story or a criticism, right?
- That's right. - Is that so?
- I don't think it would be... - Please read it.
I'll change it to "Automatic Door".
(He shows his weak side.)
"Eung Soo is so impatient."
"He's the most impatient about automatic doors."
"When he gets in his car,"
"he can't wait for a brief moment the automatic door closes."
"Drive already! What are you waiting for?"
"He yells at me angrily."
I think his manager told this story.
- "In fact..." - It's his manager.
"In fact, it's not like it takes 30 seconds for the door closes."
- "It closes within five seconds." - That's right.
"He makes me think of a lot of things in that five seconds."
"Still, he has a warm heart to give me snacks from his waiting rooms."
Leftover snacks?
Those snacks are given by the broadcasting companies.
What's that?
It must be his manager.
You can't wait for the automatic door to close.
There's a rhythm for everything.
- I know. You mean the wrong timing. - You know what I mean, right?
The door opens when I get to the car.
If he closes the door...
when I put my foot in the car, the door would close when I sit.
That's the right rhythm. If he fails to keep that rhythm,
- I see. - the door is opened...
- when I've already sit. - The door is still opened.
The door is still opened.
Imagine the temperature is minus 20°C, and it's 3am.
Why do you talk about only the extreme situations like that?
- It's because... - You can close the door yourself.
Even so, it only takes five seconds.
Your manager must think...
you might get out because you forgot something.
He waits for you to sit down before closing the door.
- It's for your safety. - Have you ever asked your manager?
Gosh.
(He's frustrated.)
There are doors on both sides, and I'm coming from this side.
- He could open it when I'm near. - That's right.
Why would he wait until I'm in front of the door?
Is it that hard?
- Why is it so hard? - He's frustrated.
What makes me angrier is...
He missed the right timing to open the door, but when I got in the car,
the car moved even before I sat down.
- It makes you sit. - I fell like this.
He helped you sit down more easily.
That's why I told him to quit smoking.
"You can't get the right timing because you smoke."
He wanted to help you sit down more easily.
He lacks everything...
except for one thing.
- He lacks everything? - Yes.
Normally, people say someone is good at everything except for something.
He lacks everything except for one thing.
He has... He has such a good personality.
- That's good. - Right.
- Minor problems like this... - I can see that he's nice...
through this story.
It's just that he's not athletic.
- He's not athletic at all. - He has a great personality.
He has a great personality.
Even though there must be a lot to compliment about Eung Soo,
he only said that Eung Soo gives him leftover snacks.
(Eung Soo shows his affection by giving him leftover snacks.)
- These are Saeng Min's keywords. - It might be worse than this.
Is it my turn? What are my keywords?
- I'll choose "Clothes Hanger". - "Clothes Hanger".
- I hope it's a good one. - He chose "Clothes Hanger".
"This is a story about Saeng Min and Producer K."
"Producer K and his elder brother are fashionistas."
"Saeng Min made a big decision..."
"to go on a trip to Japan with the brothers."
"The two brothers bought high-end clothes as always."
"When they come back to Korea, they had too much to carry."
"So they threw away the boxes, paper bags, and clothes hangers."
"Saeng Min saw them throwing those away,"
"and picked up the paper bags and clothes hangers..."
"with fashion brand logos on them."
"He packed them in his suitcase,"
- "and brought them to Korea." - Why would he do that?
"Saeng Min."
"Do you still use those clothes hangers?"
Who on earth told you this story? The producer...
- doesn't work at MBC. - Who is the producer?
I know who he is.
I wasn't ashamed of it.
The wooden clothes hangers looked nice.
They keep my shirts from wrinkling.
(What's wrong with taking good clothes hangers?)
The clothes hangers must be the only expensive brand items you have.
(The stingy Saeng Min is consistent.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
As we're here with stingy people and big spenders,
today's theme is "The Songs That Makes Me Sweet or Salty".
First, let's hear the song that Eung Soo chose.
- Oh, my. He knows this song? - That's shocking.
- I'm surprised. - This is unexpected.
How does he know this song?
He chose "Sweet Heart".
He's preparing himself to sing.
Why did you choose this song?
I think it has a perfect melody for Korean people.
The song is like an old folk love story.
Shall we hear him sing?
- Okay. This is so unexpected. - I'm not sure if it suits my voice.
- Eung Soo will sing "Sweet Heart". - "Sweet Heart".
The beat is very fast. Will be able to keep the beat?
("Sweet Heart" by Kim Eung Soo)
(He starts singing like a boy in the old folk love story.)
(He's weirdly looking at one thing.)
(It's the lyrics.)
(He can't stop looking at it.)
(Gu Ra is looking at it too.)
(But he doesn't miss timing to look at the front.)
(What's so wrong about looking at the lyrics, right?)
(I'm a professional musician at this moment!)
Let's go, Eung Soo!
What are you doing?
(He can't catch up the rhythm.)
(I like you and you like me You like me and I like you)
(We like each other but we don't say anything)
(Panting)
(This is Eung Soo's own rhythm.)
(No one can stop Eung Soo now.)
(Satisfied)
Did he do it right?
(Bravo!)
You let the rhythm flow first...
and catch it up later.
I mean...
(He's becoming passionate again.)
He's slow again.
- You are really slow now. - I like you and you like me
- Eung Soo... - But we don't talk about it
(That rhythm is hard to follow.)
(The manager must go through a lot.)
It's just amazing that he knows how to enjoy that song.
I was surprised that you like the lyrics.
You can sing it with your wife.
That's what I'm trying to do.
That's a good idea. You can be Kim Route.
I am so ready for that.
(Eung Soo won't say no to that.)
- Thank you. We enjoyed it. - Me too.
Let's listen to what Sohn Mi Na will sing.
(Nervous)
("La Bamba" is a Mexican folk song that became famous in Korea.)
(In 1987, there was also a movie came out with the same title.)
- It's nice. - Do we have to dance?
Mi Na, can I ask you why you chose this song?
Some people wouldn't know what the lyrics mean in Korean.
This song is about how I want to live my life.
It's basically about YOLO.
- Let's listen to "La Bamba"! - "La Bamba"!
I haven't listened to this song for ages.
(You can feel the Mexican vibe from the beginning of the song.)
(To dance La Bamba)
(A little bit of grace is needed)
(The song of relaxed YOLO person)
(I'm not a sailor)
(I'm a captain of my life)

- I thought I was in Mexico. - Really?
You are the epitome of YOLO.
(We could see what real YOLO spirit is.)
You've been watching, "Crying out YOLO next to the misers".
What do you think?
Let's start from Cho Min Ki.
I could be on this show while I was...
wrapping up my life as a collector.
This was a good chance for me to look back.
What about you, Mi Na?
I always enjoy watching Radio Star, so I was very happy to be here.
It was also nice to talk about traveling.
What do you think, Eung Soo?
Don't be stressed about what happened in the past.
Don't be anxious about something didn't happen yet.
Just enjoy your life at this moment.
That's YOLO.
Talking to you all, I learned a lot today.
But I will save more for now because my kids are young.
I'll just do what I feel like doing.
Of course, you will.
I want to ask you something.
It was my first time as a host. Compared to others, how was I?
You were the most informal one. You didn't stick with the format.
- You did really well. - He could talk about himself too.
How would you grade yourself?
I think I can do this again next week.
(Perfect score for me)
When should I be here for that?
We have someone else to join next week, right?
We can't just ditch our next special MC like that.
- Ji Hun, you did really well today. - Thank you.
What's so bad if we spend less?
What's so bad if we spend more?
At the end, what matters the most is how happy you are.
I wish you were happy watching Radio Star today.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
