(Last time!)
We will go on a picnic to resolve what the viewers are curious about,
(In this cold weather?)
Who's better-looking, Kang Ho-dong or Seo Jang-hoon?
That is the problem!
(First battleground of voting: Kindergarten)
I'm the bear from Pororo, Poby!
(Laughter)
I'm Uncle Dinosaur!
He'll show you fire out of his mouth!
(Amazed)
The last and 24th child to vote!
Please come out!
(Children under 10 vote for Jang-hoon)
(Voting continues with the people in their 20s)
(And a change of heart!)
(Ho-dong wins after a fierce battle!)
(For the voters over 60 in age,,,)
(A decisive victory for Ho-dong as expected)
(The brothers are treated like idol-stars)
(How will the teens vote?)
(Bitter and sad)
(But for the teachers who are between the 30s and 50s,,,)
(Jang-hoon wins, 26 to 6!)
(And a global voting takes place while the score is 3:2)
You won with just a single vote difference!
(With the final score of 4:2, Ho-dong is the better-looking one)
But this isn't the end!
The battle over who's uglier will continue next year!
(Kang Ho-dong is better-looking)
Never again, out of that mouth of yours!
Will you say that you're better-looking than Ho-dong!
Promise!
Bow your head and apologize!
(Given up)
Anyhow, this question has finally been answered!
(Who is better-looking? Ho-dong is, over Jang-hoon)
We'll move on to the next question,
(Oh My Girl will take part in answering the next question)
That's great! I give my compliments,
(The next question is delivered)
This question is from Jang Eun-Jung,
Hello! I'm a huge fan of the show, my name is Jang Eun-Jung,
I feel like every member of this show is a genius!
Jang-hoon's a genius with lots of general knowledge,
Yeoung-cheol is genius in English,
Sang-min's a former champion from "the Genius,"
Soo-geun's genius in being clever,
Lastly, Hee-chul and Kyung-hoon are genius in teasing people,
So I was wondering,
who's the smartest member of "Ask Us Anything Brothers"?
Wait!
Nothing for Ho-dong?
Genius with his face!
(A face-genius, he's that good-looking!)
She didn't mention my name?
(Tries to smile)
That makes things a little awkward,
So we prepared something to answer this question,
For that, we need to divide into 2 teams,
You can make up your own team, 7 against 7,
- Can I make a suggestion? - Yes,
Let's make this an extension of the previous question,
Ho-dong's team vs, Jang-hoon's team!
(Ready for battle)
The punishment is incredibly severe for the losing team,
(Who's the smartest member?)
(This mission began with the viewers' questions)
(The brothers are put in 2 separate rooms to see who's the smartest)
(The need a passcode to escape the room)
(They are given 4 questions to get the 4-digit number)
(First question: What does this drawing mean?)
(Second question: Which letter should go in the blank?)
(Third question: Interpret this question and execute it)
(The last common question: Carry these 5 bags between 3 people in equal weight)
(Up to 3 hints will be given)
(The questions must be in the right order)
(The first team to open the door and escape wins!)
(Which brothers are smarter than the other room?)
(It's "Solving Mystery Time!")
(Escape Room Start!)
This one's "the Gleaners" by Millet,
You're right!
A question!
What's that?
We solve the questions to get the passcode,
(Genius Sang-min guesses the answer already)
1? Why's it 1?
- Tell us why! - It just is! It's 1!
(We thought he actually had a reason)
What's the scale for?
I'm not doing that,
(Carry these 5 bags between 3 people in equal weight)
Wait a second,
"Carry these 5 bags between 3 people in equal weight,"
(Ji-ho finds a new question too)
(Kyung-hoon also finds something)
Oh, this thing!
It's in English,
(A question in "English")
I've been getting into "an altruistic life,"
So I'm giving you all the chances this time,
Got it?
Let me know if you need some muscles though,
What is all this? These questions are different from what I saw on TV,
(Execute the following sentence)
How are we supposed to do this?
This isn't a question, right?
This is a question too,
(The periodic table is a question?)
(Thinking hard)
Yeong-cheol, you're good in English, Figure this out and do it,
How can I figure that out?
Hurry!
You're the only one, hurry!
(Reading how it sounds)
I think you have to rearrange the letters,
(Did Jang-hoon guess correctly?)
Do this one first, it's the easiest,
Carry these 5 bags between 3 people in equal weight,
Divide the bags' weight by people's weight,
Yeah, that's easy,
(They first weigh the bags)
(Bag 1)
(Bag 2)
(Bag 3)
(Bag 4)
(Bag 5)
So pick 3 people and even out their combined weight with bags,
(Starting off with Yeong-cheol)
Take this one,
You can take off your jacket later,
(Yeong-cheol + bag 1 = 90,5 kg)
But there's no way you can weigh 90 kg!
I'm 70 kg, so I just need 20 kg more,
I weighed myself before,
(Soo-geun + Bag 4 and 5 = 90,3 kg)
(Success if Hee-chul + Bag 2 & 3 equals to 90 kg?)
(Hee-chul + Bag 2 & 3 = 86,9 kg)
He's short by 4,
(Did they fail this mission?)
Let's switch around,
(Lose jacket to become lighter?)
Isn't it talking just about the weights of the bags? Not the people's?
It says, ""Carry these 5 bags between 3 people in equal weight,"
It's asking to divide up the weights of the bags equally,
not the people carrying them,
Isn't that too easy?
If it's easy, let's try it,
What's this bag?
That's Mimi's snack bag,
(What is the solution to this problem?)
(Ji-ho found something)
(What is the title of this drawing?)
There are 3 cows here,
(A question about a drawing with cows)
There's a drawing in that Chinese character too,
(A table of Chinese characters across the room)
(Those cows are related to the cow here?)
This is a question?
I think there's a question here,
This is what we need to figure out! The laptop passcode,
We gotta figure it out from this drawing?
(What does this drawing represent?)
What does this mean then? This one up here?
Lift the 5 bags with 3 people, in equal weight,
(Genius Sang-min to the rescue)
These bags all weigh different,
(Lift the 5 bags with 3 people with equal weight)
(Each bag weighs different)
I don't get it,
(Let's see here)
Equal weight between 3 people?
You get on the scale,
Go on,
(93,90 kg with just one foot!)
Stand on it,
I can't,
You'll help us win!
You go on, I can't,
(Kyung-hoon joins in)
I give you all the opportunities!
Just let me know if you need some muscle,
(A lonely exit)
Who weighs the least from you guys?
(Sad)
(Kyung-hoon's been focusing on the question)
(Thinking hard)
3 people,,,
With the same weight,,,
Sang-min, don't do it that way,
But these 2 bags in this big one,
And 3 people should lift them together!
So 3 people lift these bags together!
That's not it,
3 people lifting equal weight, they have to carry separate bags,
5 bags,,, Bag,,,
(Convinced)
So these 3 people, with the bags, have to weigh the same,
They have to weigh the same?
So, I weigh 80 kg,
And now I weigh 88 kg with this bag,
And I lift a couple of bags to make 88 kg total?
I think this isn't meant to make sense,
No, it's serious,
Then let's put some bags here,
Let's figure out the maximum weight first,
Then the lightest person can carry this bag,
(Finds a dumbbell in the bag)
Why's a dumbbell here?
To adjust the weight,
The weight can be a little different, so we can use this to adjust it,
You guys are really smart!
I wanna solve that one!
(Ho-dong's curiosity kicks in again)
Why? What's the reason?
It's a question, right?
It seems like there's a pattern, but I'm not sure why it's under this painting,
Does this have any meaning?
This?
(She searches around the painting first)
- This one's just a painting? - Is this just a decoration?
I can't tell what the clues are,
(Thinking hard)
Do we just say it if we know the answer?
You gotta put it in the lock,
Oh, so the answer's the 4-digit passcode?
Then what's the order?
I think the mission includes finding out the order, too,
Then we don't know which one's the first number?
- No, - Find out right away!
Launch!
(Find out the order of the questions)
(What's the order?)
(Ji-ho's focused on finding out the order)
(Let's see here,,,)
(A question in red)
(A question in yellow)
(A question in orange?)
Oh! Red, orange, yellow, and green! Like the rainbow!
(Awesome!)
Be quiet!
(Is that the order of the questions?)
(They guessed the order before Jang-hoon's team!)
(Solving the red question first)
(Does this refer to some sort of a pose or action?)
(Genius Sang-min starts to analyze)
I don't get it at all, not a single clue!
I'm gonna keep trying this one,
Just any number!
(He gives up solving the questions, but just goes for chances)
This might work, right? Just by getting lucky?
(The lock looks so small compared to Ho-dong)
What if I just rip this out?
(Yeong-cheol's got no clue either)
(There's an Alphabet letter behind each question!)
Maybe this is telling us the order,
The answer's "news"!
(Yeong-cheol thinks "NEWS" is the order)
(Is he correct?)
(Yeong-cheol tries to solve "QS")
Figuring out the password?
(QS: What's the title of this drawing?)
What's this, a heat patch?
Octo-patch? Octopus? [pun]
Does that make any sense?
(Is "octopus" the laptop password?)
Emergency medicine,,,
Vomit? [pun]
Emergency medicine and rabbit?
That might not be it,
Burn?
(Can't figure out the answer)
Let's ask for a hint,
OK,
We'll ask for a hint!
(Hint: 3-letter word)
(What the title of this drawing?)
An emergency room?
Isn't it patch?
Yes, I think so,
And burn?
Bunny?
Bunny? So "Patch Bun"?
(Is it "Patch Bun"?)
(Hee-chul to the rescue, since he's the expert on nonsensical questions)
- You tried in English? - No, in Korean,
Pasta!
(Because a "patch" is "burning"!) [pun]
(Is "Pasta" the password?)
The last digit is 9 then,
Oh, because the patch has a burning sensation!
This rabbit was a fake clue,
I think this one's the first clue then,
- What's first? - "N,"
What is this? Roy,,, I don't know what this means,
(Is it related to the Alphabet chart?)
(Doesn't seem to have any significance)
What is this?
(Would you like a hint?)
We should ask,
(Hint: After the rain)
"Clear"?
After the rain,,, The earth is more packed in?
Can that be English?
Clear after the rain,
Dog after the rain?
Which one's that one?
QN, from "news," so the first question,
"D" for dog then?
"Dog after the rain!" [pun from proverb]
Is the number of the letters? 3?
Or 4, for being the 4th letter?
4 for being the 4th letter?
There should've been a number assigned then,
I don't think it's 4,
But why's this "dog after the rain"?
Not sure, after the rain,,,
(After the rain,,, Maybe a rainbow?)
Wouldn't it be better if we just sat here and guess the passcode?
(Going for the 1/1000 chance)
Hey there! Don't try to break into houses, come help,
After the rain, your shoes get wet,
- After the rain, "n"! [pun] - Rainbow!
After the rain "n"!
It's raining!
(Sounds like a country accent)
After the rain, N? U?
After the rain,,, Comes the rainbow!
Rain,,, Wait!
Like Beyonce? [pun]
("3" for Beyonce? "7" for the rainbow?)
7 for rainbow! 7 colors!
(Rainbow seems to be the popular guess)
- Be quiet! They might hear us, - Sorry,
(Is the rainbow a hint then?)
Isn't it "G"?
They're the colors of the rainbow,
Be quiet!
What's purple?
Purple?
Navy?
But what order does this question come in?
(Everyone's guessing it's 7)
(The answer is 7, but this is how you're supposed to solve it)
("Navy" is supposed to fill in the blank)
(7 for Nitrogen from the periodic table)
(They got lucky with this one)
(They only have 2 numbers to get now)
This is gonna work, right?
(Current status)
Yes, that'll work,
Wait, wait a second,
Everyone, look here,
We can ask for a hint!
Tell them we don't need it,
(Feels like losing for some reason)
Maybe just one,,,
Let's use that one,
(They ask for a hint for the first question)
I'll try to solve the weight question,
(We believe in you!)
Divide equally between 3 people,
(Hint: "T" is "U")
(Execute this sentence)
(Genius Sang-min analyzing again)
(Ho-dong's in charge of another question)
I need a pencil,
(Lift 5 bags with 3 people in equal weight)
(He first checks the weight)
(Takes out dumbbells in the bags)
(Various types of dumbbells)
(He then weighs the bags by themselves)
These weigh 9 kg,
Then,,,
These are also 9 kg,
So I just gotta make the rest into 9 kg each, right?
You're pressing the scale with your foot!
No choice, I have to cheat,
(He cheated to make everything 9 kg)
Then we can't escape!
- It's 8,25, pretty much 9 kg! - I think it's a nonsensical question,
That's not it,
It's not a funny question!
This is no joke!
We're locked up in here!
This is serious,
I gotta make 3 piles that are 9 kg each,
(The remaining 3 bags weigh 10 kg total)
OK, so this is 10 kg,
I gotta send 1 kg to the pile that was 8 kg,
Right?
These 3 weigh 9 kg total,
And this one's 2 kg,
So let's cut this one in half,
Fine, you sit here and cut it,
Call me when you're done cutting it,
(He can use his power!)
Here's another dumbbell, actually,
(Staring)
You need some help?
(Arin voluntarily comes to Ho-dong)
He's doing it again with her now,
Let's calculate this,
Let's calculate the total,
They should pay you double,
Total is 37,2 kg,
I found out a huge clue!
The total weight of all the bags is 37 kg!
They're gonna hear you in the next room!
You worked so hard on it,
Now divide it into 2,
Divided by 3! This is frustrating,
(Jang-hoon's team is trying to solve "QE")
I think I got it!
We got a 4 earlier, right?
Then,,,
(He's typing in Korean)
Hey guys! Make "E" into "4"!
(He inserted "4")
(Trying to decipher an alien language)
That's not it, Listen to me, guys,
If you just get that question right, we don't need to solve this one,
I'm sure the next room's thinking the same thing,
It'll take less than 10 seconds to guess the last number,
(The last hint is for "QW"?)
Should we try for this one?
Let's solve this one, then we'll do the last one,
OK, "QE"!
(Hint: "Z" is "A")
What does that mean?
I got it! Z is A!
A is the first letter, and Z is last, right?
If Z is A, then we should go in a reverse order,
(Still doesn't seem to make much sense)
Z is A,,,
Change Z to A?
(What does that mean?)
(This hint isn't helping much)
We should've went for the weight question,
Yeah! We should've done that one,
Why are you telling me that now?
You were so sure!
Did I force you? We all agreed!
You're so mean,
They're dumping everything on me because I'm nice,
"Because I'm nice" made me laugh,
(Making everyone laugh with his generous comment about himself)
It's funnier than saying you're good-looking,
It's fine as long as it's funny,
(Ho-dong's team still hasn't solve a question)
(They gather to solve a question together)
It says 1 is leg,
Let's look at the legs of these women then,
(Referring to the legs of the women in painting?)
That has no significance,
The numbers and the painting are related?
(Does it really not mean anything?)
Oh there!
(Moving on to a different clue)
(Kyung-hoon studies the painting by himself)
It says 2 is mushroom,
What's that?
This one says mushroom,
(He checks the line of sight of the woman in painting)
(Where is she looking at?)
(He finds a number chart!)
(A number chart,,, And the numbers in a question?)
Wait, how many numbers are over there?
6 slots,
Let's pick up some speed!
Look!
(Min Conan the Detective to the rescue!)
13 is a pencil,
(Each number is drawn with an object)
9 is a paper plane,
And 12?
What's that?
(Unrecognizable objects)
(The end of this detective's mystery-solving)
(Can Ho-dong's team solve this question?)
(Min Conan continues without giving up)
(Counting the number of people in painting)
(There must be an answer here somewhere)
(Can't figure out these numbers!)
(How about from a different perspective?)
(Anything?)
(Nope, just a dummy in the room)
(Then is it the distance?)
(So focused)
(No change when he blocks his vision)
(It's Batman!)
(With his eyes closed this time)
(Still no clue)
(We'll tell you the answer, Viewers!)
(What do these numbers represent?)
(The order of the Alphabet characters in "Millet," the painter)
(For example, M of Millet is the 13th letter of the Alphabet)
(They can deduce to find the last number!)
(The answer is 5 for "E," the 5th letter of the Alphabet)
(Kyung-hoon never gives up)
(Genius Detective at his work!)
(Seung-hee is looking for something in the corner)
What's this?
(She found a beaker)
- Where'd you find it? - From in here,
Just that one?
(Are there other clues in there?)
Are these clues too?
(He finds something)
I found it!
- What is it? - I found it, look!
It's a magic potion!
We can use this magic potion and blow it up!
And the answer will be shown!
Or we can just melt the key,
I tried all the numbers possible,
(For a long time this way,,,)
(A giant trying to open a lock)
(Why doesn't this work? Not the right order?)
Look, Zebra is Apple!
Zebra is Apple, does that work?
What is that, a slogan?
The rainbow thing is right!
Not the rainbow, we're solving a different one,
(Ignore)
What's wrong with you guys?
You're lucky I'm so nice,
(Take courage, Yeong-cheol!)
(Genius Sang-min is getting nervous that he didn't solve any question)
(Staring with intensity)
Another hint!
Should we receive another hint?
Isn't it better to focus on one question?
(Additional hint for the same question)
Should we get another hint for the same question?
(Hint: T is U, Z is A)
(Still confused)
(What does that mean?)
(Excuse this sentence)
(Can't figure out this series of letters)
(Something to do with the Alphabet chart on the wall?)
Z is A, and T is U?
(Repeating hints as he focuses on the Alphabet chart)
(Got the answer?)
(Did he really?)
(He found a pattern!)
What's next?
I?
J?
Bring it over,
This is it!
(Changing the order of the letters to the next one accordingly)
("Jump and Hug" is the completed sentence!)
(What's going on?)
(Is that the right answer?)
(Correct! First passcode digit is 1)
We got one! We solved that one,
This one's right, too!
(Really?)
The answer's 12,
(Really? No way,,,,)
No, it's a single-digit number,
(Lift 5 bags between 3 people with equal weight)
It must be 12 kg each,
Because the total weight is 37 kg,
- All together? - Yeah, all together,
(Checks the total weight with dumbbells again)
Oh, this is how you do it!
You can just put everything on the scale!
- How did you do it earlier? - I added them one by one,
But look! I was right,
I did a good job, right?
So divide this into 2 then, right?
12,4?
"A cow is going to Seoul,"
"A dappled cow,"
(Typing "A cow is going to Seoul")
No way, right?
(Of course it's incorrect)
Not it,
So this cow was born,
Then it got bigger,
Then got weird, and became dappled,
A 3-level change?
My head hurts,
Let's get a hint,
That'll make things faster,
(Hint: 3-letter word)
It's a 3-letter word!
(The title is a 3-letter word)
It must be a person's name,
- So? [cow] - So Ji-sub?
I tried it earlier,
That wasn't it,
A cow is on its way to Seoul,
(The cows are definitely on their way to Seoul)
Cows to Seoul?
(We'll tell you the answer!)
("A novelist" [pun for "a cow is going to Seoul])
We must be getting close, the cows are going to Seoul,
What does that mean?
(Jang-hoon's team is trying for QW again)
5 bags between 3 people,,,
5 and 3?
What does it mean that they have to be in equal weight?
(3 people,,, In equal weight,,,)
We must not be smart,
It's about their weight,
I think we have to put the small bags in the big one,
How about 3 people lifting all 5 bags together?
(Next room is getting noisy, did they solve it?)
Can we just try it?
Shall we try it?
(Doesn't get it)
So 3 people just lift all 5 bags together, so in equal weight!
Shall we stack them?
(What are you talking about?)
Then we don't need the scale,
Then we should just,,,
Oh, I get it!
3 people just lift the 5 bags together!
Yes, leave that alone,
The weight is spread out evenly,
- We can stack them, like this, - Yeah, like this,
(Are you serious? This is the answer?)
- It's right! - We're right,
- We're right, we're right! - It's the answer,
- I can't believe this, - We got it, we got it,
It next number is zero,
- We got the number, - Good job,
This one was the hardest,
- It's zero, - Life is going full force,
- Is that the third number? - The third,
(Kyung-hoon can't let go of this original idea)
(No matter how he thinks about it, he thinks it's a non-sense quiz)
Three people lift an equal amount of weight,
- I don't think we need this, It's non-sense, - Yeah, it's a non-sense quiz,
- What is? - The luggage, It's a non-sense quiz,
The numbers don't come out evenly, so three people can lift all the luggage,
Can we lump them together?
- I think it's like an old-guy joke, - Yes, you think so too?
- I don't think that was right, - This one is hard,
- I don't know the answer, - We don't need these weights,
- Who,,, - Hey!
Now, Min Kyung-hoon!
- Lee Sang-min! - Yes?
Kang Ho-dong to the front,
- Now,,, - Let's speak quietly,
This is a non-sense quiz? 12,4 has nothing to do with it?
- That means,,, - We combine it and have 3 people lift it,
No, we don't need to combine them?
We can stack them,
- Stack them? - Start stacking them,
You should go slowly when you're in a hurry and think simply when it's confusing,
- Yes, - Okay? - Yes,
Come over here, Sang-min,
- Wait a second, let's not be condescending, - Okay,
- Don't laugh at me, - Okay, okay,
The three of us will equally lift these,
- Doesn't that make sense? - Let's try it,
- One, two, three, - One, two, three, Equally,
- Here, we lift it, - It's all equal,
What is it?
(They receive the second secret number)
(Surprised)
(Going crazy)
(Moved: "We did it!")
I might be a genius,
I might really be a genius,
What? What happened?
- It might be hard for you to understand? - Why? What happened?
(The first team to open the lock is the winner)
This is it, it's here,
This is it, This is the order,
- This way, - It didn't open when you did it that way,
Don't you have to match it to the edge?
(Jang-hoon started first, but Sang-min is starting to catch up)
(Locked)
- What the heck? - It's not right, What is it?
- It doesn't work, - Did we get the order wrong?
(Who will be the winning team?)
Wait, It's open!
(Lee Sang-min open is it first)
It's open!
Let's go, let's go out,
(Pure chaos)
(Team Ho-dong wins)
- This is crazy, - What's next? - We need to get out,
(The last number can be solved through trial and error)
No, it can't be! This has to be wrong,
He can't open it,
(They attack with water guns)
(They're drenched with water in the middle of winter)
(Pandemonium)
(Kyung-hoon attacks his own teammate Ho-dong)
Who's better-looking? Who's better-looking?
(Save the giant)
(The era of suffering for the giant: he loses on appearance and brain)
I have a laptop in my hand, I have a laptop!
It's a laptop! I have a laptop in my hands!
(Drenched, Everyone is wet)
(They finish penalizing the other team)
What's the code? Is it the same for both teams? Is it different?
What was our numeric code?
Yes, yes, Our numeric code,
- If you got that right,,, - If it's 3097,,,
- Did you start with 3? - This is zero,
- No, that's not right, - It's the second number, - That's right,
- That's what we had, at first, - Who said it was NEWS?
Who said it was NEWS?
(I did)
What's the order?
It's the order of East, West, South and North,
- The answer is NEWS, right? - NEWS?
It's NEWS, because it has N, E, W and S,
- The last number has to be 0, - Seven, seven! The first number is seven,
- That's right, that's right, - We got it, it's right,
(The answer to the last question)
- We got the order wrong, - I thought the answer was NEWS,
That's amazing,
- We figured out the order first, - I see, That's what we needed to do,
We would've gotten everything wrong since we didn't know the order,
- I'm sorry, I said it was NEWS, - Let's not,,,
get upset since this was supposed to be fun,
We had it as seven, zero and then nine,
We put zero in third place and nine in fourth place,
How would we get it right, even when we tried all the other numbers?
I'm sorry, but I don't think you have any luck, Congressman Seo,
I think it's time for you to retire,
Should we do a victory ceremony?
Ceremony!
Let me hear you scream!
("Ask Us Anything")
(The last day they say farewell to 2017)
(The pork belly restaurant is the member's final location to solve their problems)
(Opens abruptly)
It's quite different from two years ago,
(The restaurant was solemn two years ago)
The restaurant still looks the same,
Why are we going out to dinner when we're not doing well?
- Why? - Our company is doing well since we're making a profit,
How can you say we're making a profit?
We've had a lot of success,
- Our intern, Mr, Seo should sit down first, - Mr, Seo is an intern?
Whoever says it first, is the winner, Go ahead, sit down,
- How come we have a strange employee? - Our intern, Seo Jang-hoon,
What are we going to do when we don't know who is in charge?
- It's not strange at all, - The president is coming,
He suddenly looks like a band member,
We don't need the band in here yet, go out,
- Why is he dressed that way? - Is he really the president?
- He's the president, - Welcome!
He's our newest employee, Mr, Kang,
I know, our ugly employee,
- Yes, he's our ugly intern, - Wait a second!
I understand and accept the fact that Mr, Kang is good-looking,
I let him be our department head because he's good-looking,
- Please don't point at your senior, - Wait a second,
How can you speak that way to the president?
Isn't there anyone to take our order?
Wasn't he the same employee from last year?
- I thought you were interviewing to be a PD? - I didn't get the job,
He's the owner and bought a building,
- He was here the last time we came, - He hasn't changed on bit,
It's good he knows a lot of people, Should we order pork belly?
- Pork belly is good, - Yeah, order pork belly,
- Pork belly sounds good, - How about we order the beer I personally modeled for?
- Over there, - Is that you?
Yes, I'm the model for that beer brand,
- Really? - Yes, I personally modeled for it,
- Wait a second, - Newra Beer is taking on a new concept,
What do you think?
- What would you like to order as beverage with your pork belly? - 40 bottles of soju,
- We're going to get wasted tonight, - No, I'd like 30 years-old Ballantine?
- What's Ballantine? - The drink that president dunk their feet in,
Can we get a bottle for each person?
Make sure each person gets one bottle,
- I thought he was talking about balsamic vinegar, - He only knows Balsan-dong,
Mr, Kang! Would you like a glass of beer from me?
Let me pour you a shot, Mr, Kang!
What's that on your face?
- You're a real character, - Thank you, sir,
He's so cute, I really think he's cute, He's too cute,
I can always depend on you,
It only tastes good when you cook the meat yourself,
- Drink up, - I'm so happy our company is doing well,
- Yes, it's great, - Good job,
- This is so different from two years ago, - We should look back,
Let's look back to two years ago,
Ho-dong was very bossy back then,
- Really? - Yeah, he's changed a lot since then,
- It was a total dictatorship, - How was he different?
- It wasn't that bad, - We couldn't get a word in,
- Tell me more about back then, - I listened to what you guys were saying,
We almost lost it when he tried making us do "Mental Battle",
We were in crisis back then, Did any of you guys think about,,,
quitting the show at that moment?
- To be honest, I thought about quitting, - Honestly? I thought about quitting,
Honestly, upper management stated they'd close the show after 20 episodes,
When we were thinking of how to lead the show,,,
our past general manager, Mr, Yeo, tried making,,,
things work for Kang Ho-dong and others,
- That's what he thought was best, - Can you lower the fire?
I remember not thinking about my ego back then,
Weren't you in a bad situation back then as well?
I think you're right,
We changed the concept of the show while we were in the middle of recording,
- Things like "Mental Battle",,, - "Mental Battle"!
"Ask Us Anything's" special corner, "Mental Battle"!
Stop by Seoul, Daejeon and Busan! A-ha!
(Kang Ho-dong was the main emcee)
(Lee Sang-min was a guest on the episode)
- Are you our emcee today? - Or our main emcee?
He's overcome a lot of hurdles,,,
- To become the best? - Yes, of course,
- Did something happen? - He'd be considered number one in the world,
- #1 in the world, - The person who works the hardest, breaks the most dishes,
I think Sang-min was the first person on the show,,,
to fully understand what "Mental Battle" meant,
You're right about that,
We didn't understand, what we were doing during that act,
I didn't know and I led the act,
- We even have a trendy saying after our answers, - You do?
Do you have something to say?
- Of course,,, - We do,
- What the heck was that? - Excuse me, judge,
- What the heck was that? I hate this! - I have a lot of things to say,
- You even fought with Heung-gook for not joining his Singer's Association, - I did,
He wanted to know why you didn't join,
I don't know what the benefits of joining the association,
I'm not sure what you exactly do for us,
It's because of people like you that don't help with the better of our association,
How am I not helping with the association's betterment when I don't know what you do?
He asked what the Singer's Association has done for him to the president of the club,
I still haven't joined,
I thought it would be easy leading the show,
He seemed to enjoy it too much,
- We all wanted to cry, - I know,
He was having so much fun by himself,
I realized I was wrong,
I was the last one to join the show, so what's the reason,,,
our show started to do so well?
Who do you think is the reason why our show became so popular?
- You think you're the reason? - Let's admit that we were all in a rut,
I'd like to acknowledge that all our success was due to Mr, Kang,
- Don't you think I had something to do with it? - You should stop too,
At first, even our audience members felt bad for us,
They said, "Let's see how long they'll last" and finally just started watching,
- For me,,, Soo-geun, I think,,, - Yes?
Our company started doing well after we stopped using honorifics,
- You're right, - It also became the company everyone wanted to work for,
- That's right, - It's "Ask Us Anything" Company,
You're absolutely right,
The company started doing well after we stopped using honorifics,
Everything changed about us after that,
Our concept changed to school and I can't forget our first recording,
- Our first guests were Hong Jin-young and Solbi, - Solbi!
Attention,
Hello everyone, my name is Solbi and I'm a,,,
transfer student from Sabon Beauty High School,
- Solbi! - Yes, - Did you get kicked out of your high school?
- Why are you transferring? Did you cause problems? - Did you smoke?
(They began taunting the guests)
Did you guys feel a difference after the first recording?
The show became fun for me after we stopped using honorifics,
It was fun, I felt like it much more fun after we recorded the first show,
When Kyun-sung came and showed how crazy he could be on the show,
- When he tried to fly and kick us, - Yes, that's the moment when,,,
I felt a different concept for "Ask Us Anything",
It's it like when singers go crazy when they're on stage?
I was totally shocked, He was crazier than me,
When did you know we were on the right track, Yeong-cheol?
To be honest, I still don't know what's going on,
I'm not exactly sure what to think of all this yet,
For me,,,
- What are you looking at? - Is he talking to me?
Did you or didn't you hear what he said to you?
(Even the guests glared at him)
- I released a Christmas album, - Okay,
I think everyone is a genius, Seriously,
- You're all smart, - I'm not a genius,
- No, you're genius as well, - No, I just try my best,
I've been giving it my all for the past 19-years,
(He's a comedic character, but still felt subtle sadness)
- We can't do the show without Yeong-cheol, - Is that for sure?
You had to overcome a hurdle, didn't you? Your 5%?
I still shiver with fear with I think about that,
Accept me as a transfer student,
You should sit out for a week if we got 3% ratings,
Please accept me, I'll promise 5%! 5%!
- If we get 5% ratings, will you quit all your programs? - Okay,
(He spoke too soon)
-You need to quit all your shows!
You became a national con-artist since you didn't quit any of your shows,
You really need to thank your older sister,
- Your sister, Ae-sook, - You need to thank her,
Wasn't she on the show with Girl's Day?
Hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Yeong-cheol's older sister,
- He's kind of senseless, - I see,
He has such a loose mouth, He kept messing around with 5% and now, he's in trouble,
He should've stayed quiet, but instead, he accepted the challenge,
I'm so sorry,
No one could've withstand what he did,
I know, I would've quit, if it were me,
I'd take responsibility for what I said,
- Yes, he always keeps a promise, - It was a promise,
- Wouldn't you have, Kyung-hoon? - Of course,
I'm personally thankful for Mr, Seo,
- Yes, we should mention everyone, - I'm really thankful because,,,
I got to think of what I wanted to say while he talked for 10 minutes straight,
(He calls upon special things to talk about during that time)
(Throws)
You know the times when you think about what you need to do?
We need to test ourselves to see how sensible we are,,,
but we need to do it within in a short amount of time,
I thought of what we could do!
- Seo! - Seo Jang-hoon!
- Jang, - His mother-in-law came to visit him,
- Please say, "Hoon", - Hoon,
Did you really have to do that, Jang-hoon?
(The legendary acrostic poem came to life during those times)
- He always throws things, - I thought of a,,,
thankful person since we mentioned throwing,
He threw something at me when IOI came on our show,
When IOI came, it was the first time our ratings went over 2%,
IOI! All eleven of the members came on our show,
It was the first-time we went over 2%, It's a legendary wall,
We started doing well after that,
- Thank you, IOI, - Yes, we're thankful for IOI,
- They even had a pillow fight, - Yes, that's right,
Honestly, Red Velvet was amazing as well,
- Red Velvet, - You cried when Red Velvet was on the show,
- That's right, - He was really moved,
Was it Joy or Wendy?
Yeri and Joy were all over the place during our act,
- When Kyung-hoon came flying at me,,, - It was when Twice was on,
I'm not sure how to explain it,
I was totally shocked,,,
and even taken aback,
I also felt like I realized something,
- That was your starting point? - I feel like that's when we became friends,
- That's true, - With Kyung-hoon and everyone else,
(Episode 27: When Twice was on the show)
(Ho-dong reacts to Kyung-hoon acting cute)
("Ask Us Anything's" mutiny signature)
(He continues on with the chicken fight as well)
(To our amazement, Kyung-hoon attacks from behind)
(The wrestling champion crumbles)
We won!
(Ho-dong finally starts to come out of his shell)
I didn't even get to see it!
He would've hit me if I stayed still,
- It would've looked strange if you got hit, - No, I measured where I was,
We had a couple of instances like that,
The time Kyung-hoon kicked while flying and when Se-hwang broke his guitar,
I was watching "Ask Us Anything",,,
- and as soon as I turned on the TV, - You weren't on the show yet,
I saw Se-hwang smash his guitar when I had just turned on the TV,
I was wondering what kind of variety show this was,
I saw him smashing his guitar when I turned on the TV and wondered what was going on,
Everyone knows how Se-hwang is like, He's one of the nicest guys in the world,
Why are you sweating so much?
- I ate spicy food, - Your ugliness is falling down,
- You should clean yourself off, - I'm thankful for Jang-hoon because,,,
even when Soo-geun constantly makes fun of him for the same thing,,,
he always goes along with it and smiles along with him,
Soo-geun and Jang-hoon chemistry is really funny,
It's not easy dressing up like a woman,
- Seo Jang-mi, - It's harder for him since he has the title,,,
Korea's national center,
Even though he has that title, he still had the,,,
courage to change himself to Seo Jang-mi,
- It was awesome, - Yes, he was, - I thought about it a lot,
I really respect Ho-dong since my senior within the athletic world,
I felt like it was odd of me to think of my image when Ho-dong was willing,
- I bet it felt different for you, - Yeah, it was,
I think the best was when he came out as Mona Lisa,
That was really amazing,
- That's when Kim Hee-sun was here, - That day was crazy,
- Mona Lisa got more attention than Kim Hee-sun, - It was too funny,
Any which way, what would we have done if we didn't have Lee Soo-geun?
- Good job, Soo-geun, - Our genius,
I wonder how a person can think of those ideas,
There's no change to Soo-geun, He really is a genius,
Everything turns into a prop for him, He even,,,
had bones pop out in our deserted island,
Soo-geun would've received the grand prize if JTBC,,,
had an award ceremony, don't you think so, Ho-dong?
Sure, Okay,
Sure, I would've been so happy for him,
I believe "Ask Us Anything" has a special part in my heart,
It was my first program,
I was ready to do anything,
I was able to freely do what I wanted since I,,,
was so comfortable around everyone on the show,
I was free to do anything,
What about Min Kyung-hoon recently? Where does he get it?
When we compliment people, that's usually their limit,
His acting was horrible last year, "That's not my father",
- My acting is better, - It's gotten much better,
You should act on a web drama or something,
- I don't I'm that good, - You've gotten really good,
I gathered Kyung-hoon best five crazy ad-libs, Do you guys want to see?
When did you get those?
- Really? - I'll show you, Go look for them,
- I'll lower the beam projector, - Okay, There it is!
- You disrespected me! - You should leave! You're not my father!
Get out! I told you to get out!
Stand still!
- Stand still! - Your mother is,,,
(He can even make Shim Hyung-Rae cry with his impersonation)
Why do you look like that?
(The real dance champion)
What the heck is that?
This isn't right!
See, he likes it,
He's not my style,
Who is your style?
I'm just saying, you're not my style,
(He doesn't even recognize the Godfather of comedy)
(The master of slapstick)
You kind of go up, like this and try to keep your balance,
That's how you do it!
Did you see that?
Did you see what I did?
I have nothing to do when people like Kyung-hoon become so funny,
Most importantly, I use the same room as Soo-geun,,,
and I learn a lot from just talking to him in our waiting room,
- You learn a lot, don't you? - Yeah, all I learn are curse words,
I learn cursing from him,
You learn to curse?
I was hoping I could use the room with Soo-geun next,
You still haven't stopped cursing backstage?
I'm teaching him experience, It allows him to talk more freely,
- I learn a lot from him, - I've been telling you to stop for the past 10-years,
- Were there moments we almost got into a fight? - No, we didn't,
- We didn't get into any fights, - Jang-hoon and I almost got into fights,
- That's why I prepared something special, - What is it?
The best 5 shaky moments,
I prepared this for us, The important thing is that 1-4 is all Seo Jang-hoon,
- Let's watch it together, - Yeah, let's watch it,
You don't use your head, but use your chest,
That's all, you need to use your chest,
- Let's see how athletic he is, - Use your chest,
Be one with the ball,
(Training Sung-jong's vital parts)
- Number 5? - Number 5?
Are you number 7?
(Soo-geun is the best at picking people during "King Game")
What's wrong with you? Serious?
I'm not letting this go!
Out of bounds! It didn't touch it last,
- From the beginning? - You touched it last,
I want to beat you at everything,
I'd like to beat you at everything you do,
- Sit down, - You want all of us to sit down?
- I can't believe our family! - Bring mom here! I want mom!
Why do you keep bringing up your mom?
You keep mentioning your mom,
What do you want to ask us?
- You can tell me why mom ran away, - This damned family!
This damned family!
Where is mom? Where is she?
(The incident when Seo Jang-hoon's vital parts were attacked)
That was really close, Wow!
That was like Jang-hoon's solo shot,
Do you remember the tabloid on Hee-chul?
He took what the tabloids said and made it a part of his gag,
At first, I was kind of embarrassed to dress in drag like Jang-hoon,,,
because of all the tabloid rumors and because people think I'm a pretty-boy,
I'm the ancestor of tabloid rumors,
I'm saying, I've gone through all that before,
Cherry! He was good at being Cherry,
He used English in the middle of his sentences,
- He's good at it, - Yeong-cheol is most jealous of that character,
I wanted to say something was difficult in English, but didn't know the term,
Instead, you'd say, "It was very muzukashi",
- I used Japanese instead, - He can speak Chinese, so that's 3 languages,
You were surprised, weren't you?
- I think you were surprised, - I don't get surprised easily,
- I'm wasn't surprised, It has no effect on me, - That's why I prepared this,
The best five clips of Yeong-cheol being surprised,
- Stop it! - He's going to be really surprised,
- Yeong-cheol is going to be surprised by Yeong-cheol? - Yes, after he says ad-libs,
- There's too many, - We had 10 but reduced it to 5,
We did, but it took a long time,
Alright, let's see his best 5,
(Cackling)
- They can't turn it on since we're out of time, - Really?
You surprised me again,
How many times was I scared, just on this show?
I'm really happy, Mr, Kang,
It's a good thing we can talk about the good,,,
and bad things since we're doing so well,
What if we never turned the tides?
("Ask Us Anything" member's year-end party comes to a close)
- Yes, this is great, - Yeah, let's get going,
The next table over gave this to you guys,
- Yeah, let's get going, - The next table over gave this to you guys,
- This is going to be the last question of 2017 for us, - Yeah, that's right,
- Right? - It's making me sad,
This is a question from Yoo Min-kyu,
During year-end company parties, people make a lot of toasts,
I have absolutely no idea what to say when my seniors ask me to,,,
say a toast for us,
Do you have any ideas on how to make a good toast?
It's best to be short and sweet when you make a toast,
For me,,,
I try to end it quickly by saying, "Let's all be healthy", I think that's best,
Honestly, it's the worst when you make a long speech during a toast,
- Aren't old-guy jokes trendy these days? - Yes,
Ask me to make a toast,
Mr, Lee, can you stand up and make a great toast for our company?
Make a toast? I'm sorry, I don't make toasts! I'd rather have a round on me!
- Let's a drink up! - Yeah! You're buying,
Mr, Lee is buying all the drinks tonight!
- Your wallet is going to be empty, - It's great and all but,,,
Don't some people acronyms for toasts?
When I say, DBMBU you all yell, "Bottoms Up"!
People will start to ask what DBMBU stands for,,,
and you say, "Drink, Be Merry and Bottoms Up"!
Isn't that funny? I'm amazed at how they use acronyms,
You make people curious,
Let's test it out, Can you make a toast for us, Mr, Kim?
When I yell DBMBU, you all yell, "Bottoms Up",
What does DBMBU stand for?
D: Drink, BM: Be Merry and BU: Bottoms Up!
Bottoms up!
- DBMBU! - DBMBU!
You'd have to follow along if your senior colleague tells you to do it,
Don't you think it would be nice,,,
when you treat people preciously, Whether it be with many or one other person,
Don't you different when you treat other people?
How about YPTM for "You're Precious To Me"?
- YPTM! - What does that stand for?
You're Precious To Me! YPTM!
- YPTM! - YPTM! - YPTM! - YPTM!
- YPTM! - We're saying YPTM, too?
Isn't the best toast a toast of praise?
- Praise? - A toast praising people,
It's the most famous line in "Ask Us Anything",
Yeah, it's the line I made up,
That means the person making the toast would say, "Really",
- Yes, you praise each employee, - You go around praising co-workers,
How about you start, Ho-dong? - Start with 'really',
The reason we can look back on 2017 and,,,
discover ourselves again is because of our,,,
loving audience members, who watch our show,
Everyone! Really a job well-done!
- Q: How can you make a great toast? - A: Try "Really, a job well-done",
(Secret Garden by Oh My Girl)
