(This program is a documentary where two national
MCs go to find dinner in a jungle-like ecosystem.)
(In front of Seoul University/ Current time 1:00 PM)
This is Seoul University.
This is S University, but why did they put "shah?"
They put all the characters together, and it looks like "shah."
That's right. KyuDong are in front of "shah."
The "shah" symbolizes the national university.
It is an important character that will be related to KyuDong today.
- Today's guest is related to S University. - They're from Seoul University.
The representative person is actress Kim Tae-hee.
(Is today's guest Kim Tae-hee?)
There's zero possibility of her coming on the show. I bet it's Seo Kyung-seok.
Seo Kyung-seok? No way. He's not going to be of any help on this show.
Now it's a fact that we're going to have guests on this show.
We can just say we're going to leave them out.
(KyuDong are talking about the guests)
(Just then...)
(The man taller than a violet...)
(The extremely huge man...)
(who has a bigger mass than earth...)
He has finally come.
Today's huge dinner companion Seo Jang-hoon.
(Last time during the Pyeongchang-dong episode)
You haven't been talking crap about Seo Jang-hoon.
- Who? - You.
Stop it.
What if Seo Jang-hoon is our dinner companion?
(Kyung-kyu had been worried about Seo Jang-hoon's appearance...)
(And on "Ask Us Anything")
- Are you going to come on "Let's Eat Dinner Together?" - No, I'm not.
- Really? No matter what?- No. I'm not.
I heard Jang-hoon decided to go on that show.
(Finally he's going to come on the show!)
(Explosion of criticism)
You're the biggest bat on earth.
(He came here even after being called a bat!)
There's Lee Yoon-suk and...who else is there?
- Lee Yoon-suk and what was his name? - Soo-geun.
They're not of any help to the viewer ratings!
What programs have done well that they have come out in?
They do well.
- Jang-hoon could be on here, too. - Well, he's not here.
What would happen if he did come here?
He's too tall for the doorbells.
(Peek-a-boo)
(Scared out of his wits)
(Appearance of tonight's dinner companion Seo Jang-hoon)
This is like a hidden camera!
(Kyung-kyu jumped out of his skin)
Why are you so shocked?
I'm sorry, Kyung-kyu. I couldn't prevent Jang-hoon from coming on the show.
- I should've prevented him from coming on the show since
you hate him so much. - Why are you getting on your knees?
Why are you showing this side of you?
We're in front of Seoul University to meet Seo Jang-hoon. They both start with "seo."
You didn't graduate from this university though.
- I didn't. - Ex-family member!
- I'm seriously... - Before they separated!
Stop saying nonsense.
(We need to talk)
(About to go to the back alley after mentioning his past...)
- We need to connect them somehow! - What brings you here?
I came to see Kyung-kyu.
I heard from Ho-dong...
Ever since I was little, I loved Kyung-kyu and I was a big fan of him!
But one day, Ho-dong came up to me to talk about his new program "Let's
Eat Dinner Together" and told me Kyung-kyu talked so much crap about me.
But why don't you like me?
- Why do you hate me? - I, Kang Ho-dong, swear to only state the facts from now on.
I'm not going to hide anything. I'm not going to exaggerate anything. To be honest...
if there were sixty minutes, Kyung-kyu would
talk crap about Jang-hoon for fifty minutes.
The case of talking crap behind each other's backs. Why did these two become enemies?
We'll reveal that unreleased file for the first time.
(The first time KyuDong meets the production staff)
Who is he? Seo Jang-hoon?
When someone asked why he comes out on TV, he said it was to make his mom laugh.
Why is he on TV? He's making light of things!
I don't do that! I talk crap about Seo Jang-hoon! I'm being honest!
The important thing is that Seo Jang-hoon didn't just idly stand by either. He
refuted by saying that Lee Kyung-kyu is done for! Lee Kyung-kyu won't last forever!
He talked crap about Jang-hoon for fifty minutes.
Why would he do that? Does he think I'm his rival? Why would he talk crap about me?
Will Kyung-kyu last forever?
These two missed each other deep into their bones.
When you miss each other, you are bound to meet.
I only did one special episode with Kyung-kyu before.
After that, all I did was meet him coincidentally and greet him respectfully.
Jang-hoon, we can't solve everything here. There's a full version of the video.
That's not important right now.
Tell me why.
(Why did Kyung-kyu talk crap (?) about Seo Jang-hoon?)
Listen to me.
So let's slowly talk about this.
Listen to me!
(He asked for it...)
So this is how Ho-dong suffers on this show.
Listen to me!
Jang-hoon, let me tell you.
The four of us were drinking that night, and it seemed
like they wanted someone to talk crap about someone.
I didn't know there was a camera.
I didn't know!
I was drunk, and they kept talking about you.
But is it more fun to compliment someone or
talk crap about someone when you're drinking?
But there must be a reason why you talked crap about me!
I'm trying to tell you that reason! - What a lousy excuse.
It's not!
For example, let's say we went to drink after we
filmed today and someone mentioned Kim Gu-ra.
I would talk crap about him then. I talk crap about people naturally! You know that!
Then just tell us this one thing. Can we reveal the full video?
Are you crazy?
What's wrong with you? Do you want to send me away?
But this is what I learned from you.
- Kyung-kyu, I'm so disappointed. - It's not like that.
- Do you like Jang-hoon the best? - I was a big fan of him!
Do you love him?
He's really popular these days.
Can you sincerely tell him that you love him?
That's too cringe-worthy between men.
Look at his face.
You're so popular these days.
(Stitched up the incident of talking behind his back for now...)
I heard Jang-hoon was coming today, so...
Are you talking about those connected mittens?
- I won't do such a thing! - Jang-hoon isn't easy either.
This has been especially designed for you two.
Look at this. This is for Jang-hoon, and this is for you.
These are shackles that will make them sincerely
- love each other. - Are these handcuffs?
Wow! We can see this picture here!
(Rare and precious picture)
I came to demand answers from him! Why did you give these to us?
- Don't demand... - If you want to catch a tiger, go into the tiger's den.
- Here's the tiger. Here's the tiger's den. I'm here. - Listen to me.
- He talks a lot, doesn't he? - Yes, he does.
Thank goodness his words pass by here.
Your words come in here, but his words go over there.
So my ears hurt less.
(This is much better~)
Anyways, where will they eat dinner tonight?
"Go eat dinner at Bongcheon-dong today.
Make sure to go to Syarosugil house number 1613-1
and pick up the person singing "shy shy shy.""
- Do you know what "shy shy shy" is ? - It's a song.
- Who sang it? - Who?
SHINee?
(We're sorry, SHINee)
- "I was meeting my friends. Shy, shy, shy." - "Shy, shy, shy."
Didn't SHINee sing that?
Shouldn't the godfather of entertainment know Twice?
"I was meeting my friends. Shy, shy, shy."
It seems like they'll be eating dinner with the girl who's singing "shy shy shy."
Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea.
The epicenter and Mecca of single- person households.
They carefully tread into those people’s world. Shy, shy, shy.
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" episode 14: I Live Alone.
- We need to get on bus 6511. - Where is Bongcheon-dong?
What in the world are you talking about?
This is Bongcheon-dong.
Wow. He's amazing.
He's a level higher than Soo-geun, huh?
He just made a pun with Bongcheon-dong. "What in the world are you talking about?"
(Godfather of entertainment's superior humor.../ Respect)
Bongcheon...
Isn't it called Bongcheon because the mountaintop reaches the sky?
- It could be. - It is.
I think it is. It's high up there.
(Named so because of the high mountain)
- So that's why it's called Bongcheon-dong. - We need to get on this bus.
- This is the bus fare, right? - Yes.
It's been a while since I rode on a bus.
How much is it?
- $1.30 - Here you go.
(On their way to find "shy shy shy!"
This is a very ambiguous time.
- There aren't a lot of people. - Wow, I can see
the two of you together. I never thought I would.
You two haven't solved your misunderstandings yet, right?
(Annoyed)
It's because of people like you that we can't solve anything.
All you do is use this for the show.
- Do you like me or Jang-hoon? - Jang-hoon.
What a lie!
- You can tell he's lying, huh? - Yeah.
Oh, Seo Jang-hoon.
(Leavng the bus/ Current time 1:40 PM)
But seriously...
Even lovers will get fed up with this.
- I can't move around! - You two still harbor feelings against each other.
(In disbelief)
You're like the typical informant.
Oh, hello!
We're going to Bongcheon-dong right now. Is this Bongcheon-dong?
- Yes. - Yes, it is.
- Then what's Syarosugil? - It's the back street over there.
Why is it called Syarosugil? It's not even
- Garusogil. - It's for the "shah" in Seoul University.
(You saw it earlier...)
- Good-bye! - So that's why it's called Syarosugil?
(Just let him be~)
- I don't like that either. - It's a waste of time.
- It's the first time I see a celebrity. - Really?
- He does that endlessly. - Right.
When he meets someone outside, he talks all day long.
That's why I told him to make a separate program where he does interviews.
I think he's going into politics in the future.
(Practicing street campaigning?)
He's doing fake broadcasting.
(These two have found something in common)
(They have finally found Syarosugil!)
- (Syarosugil) - They did a parody of this!
This really does exist! It's not just a made- up name.
If you put the "shah" from Seoul University together
with Shinsa-dong's Garusogil, you get Syarosugil.
There are restaurants for students and workers who live alone.
In a main attraction for people who eat alone,
there's a girl who is singing alone here.
(He came after campaigning)
Why didn't you just eat with those people?
- With who? - Those people you met earlier.
- They said it's the first time they see a celebrity. - The first time?
I wish Ho-dong can go into politics in the future.
That would be nice.
Ladies and gentlemen! Powerful politics! Champion politics!
I seriously think he'll be the best at street campaigning.
You won't get voted for, but you'll shake hands with the most people.
You'll shake the most hands.
There aren't many people because people are on vacation.
It's usually filled with people.
- Ho-dong. - This is the main place to eat and drink alone.
Since people eat and drink alone, the restaurants are small and cozy.
There are many pretty stores here.
(The three stopped at a a BBQ restaurant where people eat alone)
There are many people who grill meat by themselves and eat it alone.
The highest level of eating alone is to eat BBQ alone.
That's actually very difficult to do.
Ho-dong, what have you tried before?
- He probably did everything. - This is the least difficult one to do.
Eating lunch at a convenience store by yourself. I did this before.
- Eating alone at a food court. - Don't read everything. Just pick them out. Number 3.
(LV 4. Eating alone at a fast food restaurant)
- I never did level four. - I did.
I ate at a Chinese restaurant by myself before.
I don't think I ever ate alone at a Japanese restaurant before.
Eating sushi by yourself at a Japanese restaurant? I never tried that before.
- I never did six and seven before, but I did eight. - Me, too!
I did 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8. I never did 6 and 7 before.
When you eat by yourself at a Chinese restaurant, it gets so embarrassing when you
need to cut off the noodles in your mouth because you think people might see you.
- You get embarrassed very easily. - Yes, I'm very shy.
- People don't go to family restaurants alone. - Yes, we don't go there at all.
This is very fun.
We need to find "shy shy shy."
1613.
- What house number is this? - 1603-*.
(They're close to the location of their mission!)
Is it 613?
(I think it's somewhere here...)
- What house number is this? - Kyung-kyu, it's here! This karaoke room!
- They want us to find someone who's singing "shy shy shy." - Oh, I see!
- It's a karaoke room. - A karaoke room.
(This place seems right)
- It's Tzuyu. - "I was meeting my friends. Shy, shy, shy."
(Is Twice's Tzuyu really here...?)
(They can hear singing coming from inside!)
Kyung-kyu, look. There are cameras here.
- What's this? - A karaoke room.
- You go in here? - And sing alone.
They can play by themselves very well. With just
50 cents, they can enjoy the coin karaoke room.
(A hideout for people who love to have fun alone!)
Someone is singing in here!
Right here! "Cheer up!"
In here!
(She's in here!)
Where?
Here!
(They can hear Twice's song!)
(The girl who is strapping tall...and singing passionately by herself...)
(Who is the girl behind this door...?)
"Shy, shy, shy."
(Explosion of curiosity)
Shy, shy!
(Excuse me...who are you?)
(She turns around...)
Kyung-ri!
(It's nice to see you!)
The one who sang "shy shy shy" is Nine Muses' Kyung-ri.
She's the other dinner companion for tonight.
-Are you our dinner companion? - Yes.
- Are you eating with us? - Yes.
- Do you know who I am? - Of course. You're SHINee.
Twice!
Who am I?
- Twice? - No!
- Who is she from Twice? - Isn't she from Twice?
Don't joke around!
Kyung-kyu told me, "Oh! Kyung-mi!"
(Twice's (?) Kyung-mi(?)...?/ Embarrassed)
(Finally, these four met)
- Let's eat dinner together. - Okay.
- While we eat... - That's enough, Ho-dong!
I'm so sick and tired of you!
(The teams are naturally created)
(Kyung-kyu and Jang-hoon are formed into a team!)
Please look forward to Kyung-ri and Ho-dong's dinner story!
- "Let's eat dinner together!" - Let's eat!
(They have been divided into two teams and will eat at the house they succeed at!)
There's a name laboratory here.
Should we ask them about our names?
- I've been to many fortune tellers but it's my first time here. - May we film here?
- I thin he's a bit flustered. - Are you okay?
We want to ask you about our names.
- Are you the owner? - You are?
A name laboratory. They come in here to find out if they're living up to their names.
It's the first time I saw the phrase: "You live according to your name."
Yes.
- We were curious. - Why do you say you live according to your name?
I do it by the sound of your names.
- Sound of our names? - Yes.
- Not in Chinese characters? - Yes.
- I see. - Then...
- Kang Ho-dong, Seo Jang-hoon, and... - Park Kyung-ri.
It's the four of us.
Lee Kyung-kyu knows a lot of information.
Information.
He has worldly wisdom and good personal relations.
He has amicable personal relations?
Yes. And he's very good at planning things.
- Huh? - Good at planning things.
What are my weaknesses?
You think too much.
(Oh my god!!!!)
- Doesn't everyone think a lot? - No.
He keeps thinking about it as he sleeps.
- It's like he has insomnia. - Yes.
(This place is good at looking at names!)
What about my name?
- What about Kang Ho-dong? - Yes, tell me.
Kang Ho-dong. Kang Ho-dong. Kang Ho-dong.
Your personality is very...
(S...Sir?)
(Uh...please say something...)
Is it something we can't air on TV?
Well, it's a bit troubling to say.
- Hold on. What's wrong with my personality? - You have a very strong personality.
If you say it's troubling, we can't air it.
No, no. What are the names of the people in your family?
- My wife? - Yes.
Lee Hyo-jin.
Kang Shi-hoo.
- Kang... - Shi-hoo.
There will be some trouble with your wife.
Trouble! Yes! There has been some trouble recently!
(J...Jang-hoon, be quiet)
- What about Seo Jang-hoon? - Let's talk about Seo Jang-hoon.
He's very big, but he's very neat and tidy as well as sensitive.
(I admit it...)
He's not very broad-minded around women though.
(Oh...I see...)
Hold on.
I'm not very curious about that.
How compatible are the names Seo Jang-hoon and Park Kyung-ri?
They're not compatible at all.
Let's go.
The name of our program is important, too.
Our show is called "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Can you check if the name is okay?
- It's a very soft, good name. - Really?
Yes.
("Let's Eat Dinner Together" is very good!)
(It's very good)
What about "Ask Us Anything?"
- That's the name of the show. - Is it okay?
- Do you think it'll stick around for a long time? - What do you think?
This is a weak name.
We don't mix well.
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" is a better name?
- This show is way more popular! - I don't watch TV.
- Our show does much better. - No way, Kyung-kyu! I respect you, but still...
"Ask Us Anything" may be popular, but "Let's Eat Dinner
- Together" has better ratings. - What's wrong with you?
Please give me a clip of this. I knew Ho-dong would be like this!
- But last time... - He's like a fat informant!
I'm just stating the facts.
- I got it, but... - He told you that you're not broad-minded.
Don't sulk!
His answers make sense.
- He's exact. - He's saying that because good things were said about him.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you!
We don't know if we really do live according to our names, but
it's nice to hear that "Let's Eat Dinner Together" will do well.
(We hope "Let's Eat Dinner Together" and "Ask Us Anything" will do well!)
(They discovered another restaurant where you can eat alone!)
It's like a bar.
- There's a table for you to eat alone. - You can sit alone here.
So you can sit here.
When I used to live alone...
I live alone right now.
Sometimes, I go eat by myself.
I sit like this while facing the wall.
They went inside on purpose to sit next to each other.
The most pitiful sight is sitting in the corner over there.
Like this.
(The especially lofty shoulders that appear bitter...)
These people always hide themselves with their backs like this.
Jang-hoon, you look even more pitiful since you're big.
It'd be less pitiful if you were smaller.
Seriously. It's more pitiful because a giant came to eat alone.
(They continue to visit Syarosugil)
You can eat by yourself in this kimchi stew restaurant.
Look. The tables aren't family-oriented.
- By yourself. - The basic table services two people.
(Officially beginning to explore the houses)
(Starting to explore the studio villages/ Current time 3:00 PM)
- There are many studios in this area. - Yes.
There are students and workers living here.
When I was a trainee, my trainee friend used to live here.
- In Bongcheon-dong. - Yes.
Bongcheon-dong has the most single-person households in Seoul.
How do you know that? You know very well about this area!
- And... - It's not like you only came here once or twice!
- And... - Seo Jang-hoon, why did you come here so much?
It has nothing to do with that!
In the alley next to Syarosugil, the place Seo Jang-hoon knows very well,
studios and villas have been developed for single-person households.
You can see many facilities for those who live by themselves.
Look here. It's divided as 101, 102, and 103.
There are many students, so there are many of them that live in one building.
There's a high possibility for people not to be home.
- That's right. - Yes.
I'm worried we might not be able to eat dinner tonight.
And people who live by themselves tend to not cook.
Right.
- They eat simple meals. - That's true. I live by myself right now.
I live alone, too.
I either eat outside or order food to have delivered.
I don't have any ingredients.
Most of these homes here are empty.
(Bongcheon-dong studies are very quiet)
- Kyung-ri, I love trees. - Yes.
(Here we go again...)
It would be nice if they have wooden gates.
- If they treat people how they treat tress, how warm will they be? - Of course.
- There aren't any trees here. - You're right.
- Hello. - Hello!
(Noisy)
- Where are you going? - We came to see you!
- You did? - Yes!
(Let's go~!)
(They discovered a coin laundry room!)
There's a coin laundry room.
There used to be a cleaners here.
(New places just for people living alone...!)
This place is nice.
(Chose this studio to try out tonight!)
It won't be easy to get dinner tonight, right?
- But there are owners. - The owners are around.
What floor do most of the owners live in?
Fourth or fifth floors.
At the very top. I see.
This is called a multi-household house, and
most of the owners live in the very top floor.
(They received helpful advice (?) from Bongcheon-dong citizens)
- How long have you been living alone? - It's been about one and a half years now.
- It's been a while then. - Yes.
Then how do you eat?
I usually eat outside or have food delivered to me.
- You just buy fast food. - Yes. I have instant rice.
- And you get kimchi from your parents. - Yes, my mom recently sent me some.
- Where are they from? - Busan.
- Are you from Busan? - Yes, I am.
How come you don't speak in that dialect? How did I not know you were from Busan?
How about we pretend we're in Busan and speak in Busan dialect?
Should we?
Are you from Busan, too?
- I'm from Masan. - Oh, Masan! They speak the same way Busan do.
Still, Busan and Masan are a bit different from each other.
- How? - I don't know how to explain it.
- She's from your hometown. - Where?
Busan.
- Where in Busan? - Bansong-dong.
Bansong-dong? Really?
He's the face of Busan! He's the Busan mayor!
Oh, I must impress him then.
He's Gyeongnam's governor!
Citizens! Powerful politics! Champion politics!
Please vote for me!
The laughter is temporary.
- I'm so hungry. - Slowly, they're becoming hungry.
Can't we eat something?
The four people who aren't sure of success in the
studio villages start to head towards the houses.
- I'm so hungry. - Is this also Bongcheon-dong, Jang-hoon?
Yes, it is.
Gwanak-gu, Haengung-dong, Seoul is the new name for Bongcheon 6-dong.
It is called that to bring hope to the residents.
The neighborhood is as pretty as its name.
Kyung-ri, what are you going to do when someone answers the doorbell?
Let’s try it. Ding-dong. Cue!
- Hello. I'm Nine Muses' Kyung-ri... - Cut!
- You talk too fast. - I do?
Talk slowly!
I'm Nine Muses' Kyung-ri
- Who? - And?
I'm from the show "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
If it's okay with you, can I eat dinner with you?
- Good. - Pass!
Good job!
If Kyung-ri rang the doorbell of a house where a man lives and asked him if she
could eat with him, he'd definitely start cooking even if he didn't have any food.
We'll see if that's true.
Let's pick this one.
- The head of the neighborhood lives here, so he won't turn us away. - Of course not.
- Tree! Tree! Tree! Kyung-ri! - Tree!
It's green, Kyung-kyu! Green!
You make me tired.
I pick this one. There are dried radish greens.
Dried radish greens are good.
(Do I look like dried radish greens to you?)
Those aren't dried radish greens, Ho-dong. Those are weeds.
- They're dried radish greens. - They're weeds!
Fine. Eat it.
How long do we have to wear this for?
When you two become friends.
- We're friends! We're best friends! - We crazily like each other!
Let's hug.
Let's hug each other and take it off.
(This was good enough!)
This just made things even harder for us!
There's a place for reconciliation. You can take it off then.
(There's a special place for reconciliation?)
Wow. This isn't easy, huh?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together" isn't easy at all.
(They follow the stairs to go down)
Let's pick this house. There are so many crock pots here.
- Really? - Look up here.
(Helping him up)
Wow. Look at this.
Since he's tall, he can see the crock pots.
This is very advantageous for us.
When it's night, it's very advantageous for us!
Jang-hoon can see everything!
(Can you see?)
This is how high we can go.
He has two more heads than us.
My goodness. You have strength.
This is another face of Bongcheon-dong.
The witty drawings on the walls steal our attention.
This mural street with the concept of confession is a popular date spot for couples.
(You see... I like you)
(Look at this)
(We found it...!)
(Today is our day 1)
This symbolizes us.
Today is our...
(Today is day 1 since they reconciled...!)
- You guys reconciled? - Of course.
We're best friends. I'm like Lee Yoon-suk right now.
(About to take over Yoon-suk's spot...)
- What? - This isn't the place.
- It's not? - My gosh! Seriously!
- Enough already. - There's another place?
Look for it.
- My goodness! - Don't be mad at each other.
We're not mad at each other anymore, but this is so tiring!
Kyung-kyu, forgive Jang-hoon already!
(We're not angry at each other anymore...)
(They continue to explore the neighborhood and try to reconcile the two...)
- Why are there so many drawings? - Is it over there?
It's confession street!
(Hot spot for reconciliation: "Confession Wings Mural")
- We're confessing here. - What does wings have to do with anything?
I need to confess about how I talked crap about you.
Hold on. Before you take the mittens off, hold each
other's hands and play "I see." Kyung-kyu, you go first.
Tell Jang-hoon why you did what you did.
On a show, I heard you say that you wanted to make your mom laugh...
so I just wondered why you had to make your mom laugh by appearing on TV.
I see.
And he said I talked crap about you for fifty minutes.
I talked crap about four or five people in that time.
- You're not the only one I talked about. - I see.
I didn't know that and I talked crap about you on "Ask Us Anything."
What did you say?
I heard what you said and grew shocked, so I said we didn't need you.
(Dizzy)
- I said, "What's the point of Lee Kyung-kyu?" I'm sorry. - I see.
No, you did the right thing.
I see.
Don't misunderstand. I just talk crap about someone as a habit.
(I...I see)
It's not only you. There are many people.
If people are going to be so concerned about that, I can't live...
I see. I see.
- So just brush it off. - I already brushed it off.
- I will respect and care for you. - I see.
- Let's take this off now. - Congratulations!
Jang-hoon hugs him to commemorate their reconciliation!)
(Let's not fight anymore)
Heart, heart, heart.
- What heart? - Make a heart.
- You're making us do strange things! - Just do it!
With this arm!
(They warmly reconcile in front of the wings mural on confession street...!)
- Kiss! - Stop it!
(Yeah, right...)
(I'm happy you two reconciled)
A dramatic reconciliation on confession street.
Now it's time to become on and wish each other good luck.
- The day grew shorter. - Yes.
(Bongcheon-dong has become dim already)
Bongcheon-dong is known for studios.
Let's go to the studio village we went in the beginning.
If we can't get dinner, we have to eat at this convenience store.
Remember where this is. I think there's a high
possibility that we'll have to eat here tonight.
The sun sets in Bongcheon-dong.
The four spoons are going to try knocking on the doors of the studios first.
- Many college students live in Bongcheon-dong. - Kyung-kyu, look.
They're eating alone.
- Hello. Are there many people who come to eat alone? - Yes, there are.
Why do you leave the windows open?
- So we can smell it? - No, so you can see it.
Oh, so the kitchen is that clean.
- I love Japanese ramen! - Me, too! I want to go in here right now.
I really want to eat one.
Hey, right now...
Oh, right! Thank you!
The broth doesn't matter right now! What matters is that we need to eat dinner!
Look. They're eating alone.
Kang Ho-dong has deviated from the course.
Ho-dong, let's hurry up and go. We won't be able to eat at this rate.
Seriously! You saw it, didn't you, Jang-hoon?
This is the kind of a situation I must do broadcast in.
Isn't it a miracle that I can eat in this situation?
Where should we start? You guys go first.
- Really? - The lights are on.
Start.
Here? This house?
Okay, try it.
(Newcomer Kyung-ri goes first...)
Kyung-ri, who lives alone, will make the first attempt at a studio.
(Presses the number)
(Pre~ss!)
(Please~)
It's a 100%. What if she gets it on the first try?
(Instead of a reply, there's just a continuation of bell sounds...)
(Self-retreat)
- They left with the lights on. - Let's go up.
Is it our turn next?
(They decided to ring the doorbell until they get a reply!)
(Let's see)
(Check for homes with the lights on)
Second floor.
Should I do it?
(Kyung-ri's second attempt!)
(Thump thump)
I don't think anyone is home.
(Tries the next home right away!)
Do well.
Be calm.
(Scanning for a home with the light on)
Number 3**.
(Tries again!)
This isn't easy.
- It's so out of the blue. - It's not easy to eat a meal.
(It's so hard to hear a voice...)
Let's go.
(The four spoons leave)
Were there a lot of incidents where people weren't home?
We rang four doorbells, but no one was home.
This is the first time they had four continuous non-responses.
It doesn't look great from the beginning.
Try the first floor.
(They discovered a building with the lights on!)
(Will they be able hear a human's voice in this villa?/ Please)
(Anxious...)
(No one is home again?)
(Only the bell sound continues)
I don't think anyone lives in this neighborhood!
It's time for dinner, so did they go out to eat by themselves?
(6th try!)
I miss people now.
- I just wish they would answer. - First, second, third floor.
There are only three floors here.
(They finally answered!)
- Hello. - Hi.
My name is Kyung-ri.
- I see. - Do you know me?
- Who are you? - I'm the singer Kyung-ri.
- Lee Hyun-ji? - Kyung-ri.
- Kyung-ri? - Yes.
- Do you know me? - No.
- Do you know Nine Muses? - No.
Oh, we're...
(Oh, Kyung-ri)
I'm a singer. Did you eat dinner yet?
Yes.
Okay.
How can you just hang up like that?
You should've explained to him that this was a show!
Kyung-ri is upset.
- She asked him three times. - So you can get hurt on this show.
- I think he really doesn't know her. - But his
answers were so fast! "No. I don't know you."
(Mental breakdown)
Jang-hoon, you try 3**.
(Same villa, different floor!)
This is making me shake.
(He presses the number for him)
(Forward deployment)
Don't go too close. They won't recognize you.
(Waiting from afar)
(Will he do well?)
Hello?
(Answered in one try!)
- Hello? - Who is it?
Hello. I'm Seo Jang-hoon.
Do you know me?
Yes.
Oh, hello. It's nice to meet you.
(Envious...)
Did you eat dinner yet?
I'm going out to eat.
- You're going out to eat? - Yes.
- You're not eating at home? - Yes.
Ask if she can eat at home.
- We're from "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - Yes, I know that show.
And I appeared today.
- This is my sister's house. I just came to help her move. - Pardon?
- This is my sister's house. - Oh, and you just stopped by.
- Yes. - I see. All right.
Have a good dinner.
She hung up already.
You're good!
I'm glad she recognized me.
I wasn't hurt as much.
I'm not going to get hurt anymore.
- Good. - Hello.
Who is it?
Didn't I call them earlier?
I'm Kyung-ri.
(A mere onlooker)
- Who? - Kyung-ri from Nine Muses.
- I see. - Do you know who I am?
- Yes, I do. - Really?
We're from the program "Let's Eat Dinner Together."
Okay.
Did you eat dinner?
- Dinner? - Yes.
I didn't eat yet.
Can you eat dinner with us?
Where?
At your house.
- My house? - Yes.
He knows Kyung-ri, and he hasn't eaten yet.
Will he give them permission?
(And his answer is...?)
He knows Kyung-ri, and he hasn't eaten yet. Will he give them permission?
(And his answer is...?)
Dinner? I think that's going to be hard.
Do you not have any food?
We can eat a very simple dinner.
I don't think it's going to be possible.
- Really? - Yes.
Okay. Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
People who live in studios don't really cook.
(Let's go to a different house)
At least he knows me.
(At that moment, a student comes out of the villa)
Hello.
- Are you going out to eat? - Yes.
- You're not eating at home? - Yes.
- It's hard to cook for yourself since you live alone, right? - Yes.
- Did you accept our call earlier? - Yes, I'm 2**.
- You're him? - I talked to you, huh?
Yes.
- Do you not know Kyung-ri? - I do. I just thought it was a strange person.
Oh, really? It did seem like you knew me.
- Since she said it out of the blue. -yes, I thought it was my friend.
Oh, really? I see.
(Who is this young man?)
He was the one who said he didn't know her? You horrible man!
How can you not know Kyung-ri?
- I do. - He thought his friend was playing a prank.
- Oh, his friend? - Yes.
Are you the one who said you didn't know who Kyung-ri was?
- This has been going on. - Do you really not know her?
- I do, but I thought it was a prank. - Oh, really?
- Seoul University? - Yes.
- What major? - A mechanics major.
Oh, I see. Where are you going?
I have plans.
So even if you did know Kyung-ri, we wouldn't have been able to eat together.
Yes.
- Living alone? - Yes.
I see. How many pyeong is your house?
I'm not sure. Maybe about 10 pyeong?
Oh, it's pretty nice.
- How long has it been since you lived here? - Three years.
- Jang-hoon, the one you talked to is coming down. - She's coming.
Really?
(Is she the one who talked to Jang-hoon...?)
- Are you the one who talked to me a while ago? - Yes.
("Let's Eat Dinner Together" connects people together...)
Let's shake hands. Hello.
Did you eat yet?
I'm leaving right now.
- Oh, you are. - You're leaving?
Yes.
- It's not easy to do an interview with them. - We don't have time!
- Just one minute. - Go ahead and interview them. We'll be going.
- Go ahead. - We don't have time.
Let me switch teams!
We need to go.
(I need to hurry up and go!)
(Ho-dong is excitedly doing an interview/ Quietly escapes)
- Has your girlfriend ever come over before? - Jang-hoon!
- Don't stay there! - Yes, Kyung-kyu.
He has the interview illness.
It's a serious illness! He interviews people without a soul.
- He has the interview illness. - Over here.
(Major patient (?) who won't stop interviewing/ Let's go now)
Let's walk towards the entrance of Seoul University.
I hope you have a good dinner with your friends tonight.
- Thank you. - Bye.
(Kyung-kyu is ringing the doorbells now)
No one is here.
There's no one.
(They rang the doorbells of other studios...)
It's not going to be easy today.
It's not the time to say such things. We need to hurry up and move.
(Continuous non-responses...)
This is very difficult.
How can there not be any people?
Did they just leave the light on and go out?
My goodness.
Unresponsive Bongcheon-dong's dinner is often due
to eating with friends outside or eating alone outside.
They do this more than expected. These four are longing for people.
- What apartment number? - We need to go inside for this one.
Jang-hoon, let's hurry up.
(Will they be able to meet people in this villa?)
(Ding-dong~)
(Please reply at least...!)
(Desperate!)
Oh my god! Hello. I'm Seo Jang-hoon. Hello. Do you know me?
The former basketball player.
- Yes. - Did you eat dinner yet?
- Not yet. - Not yet?
We ring the doorbell, and if you haven't eaten yet...
May we eat dinner with you?
If you haven't eaten yet...
It's not just me. There is someone else. Lee Kyung-kyu is here, too.
Hello, ma'am.
(Happy to see him)
- There's a baby there. - Yes.
- One dinner. - It's okay if you can't.
- Yes. - Did your husband go somewhere?
My husband isn't here. This is my daughter's house.
- Oh, it's your daughter's home. - What time does she come home?
- I'm not sure. I think she'll be here late. - Oh, really? Okay, we understand.
Thank you. See you later.
Bye, baby.
Oh, you're not even crying.
I'm Uncle Dinosaur.
Yes. Hello!
You need to come out on TV. Wave your hand. Bye.
(Free from all thoughts)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(It's too bad, but they leave...)
- There's one here. - Here.
- The lights are on. - Let's hurry.
We need to be quiet.
(They ring the bell...)
- Someone is coming out. - Jang-hoon, you need to come this way.
Someone's coming out.
- He's leaving. - Yeah, he's leaving.
- Hello. - Hello.
Bye-bye.
- Where are you from? - America.
America!
(They might eat dinner with a foreigner...)
(He pressed the house number...)
It worked.
(It didn't connect...)
There's only one light on in this building.
(Precious human voices)
Let's go.
- There are many studios, so many people haven't come home. - Yes.
People refuse to give dinner, and it's not easy to find homes with the lights on.
Has there ever been such a desolate dinner before?
Right here.
Kyung-kyu is on it already. He's so fast.
(The speed of ringing bells is getting faster!)
(Lips are becoming dry)
(Please be home)
(He answered!)
- Hello? - Yes?
Hello!
- Hi. - I'm comedian Lee Kyung-kyu.
Yes.
Did you eat dinner?
- No. - Pardon?
- No. - If you haven't eaten dinner yet...
can we eat dinner with you at your home?
Oh, I'm not sure...
- I don't think it's possible. - Pardon?
I don't think so.
- Oh, really? Are you a student? - Yes.
Do you have nothing to eat?
- I have plans. - Pardon?
I have plans.
- You have plans? - Yes.
I understand. Thank you.
(Rejected due to his plans)
(Full of disappointment)
The students living here already have dinner plans.
People will eat out. They don't usually eat at home alone.
(Kyung-kyu has discovered something)
Friend!
Friend! Friend! Friend!
Were you going to eat dinner?
I was going to eat out.
Pardon? It's okay if you don't go out?
Yes, yes.
He said it's okay if he doesn't go out.
I think he's okay with it.
Let's eat dinner together at your house.
Huh? Friend!
Will this mournful serenade for dinner work?
We'll come inside. Please open the door for us.
3**.
(They finally succeeded!)
- You're giving us permission, right? - Yes.
- Okay. - What about your plans?
- It's fine. - He said it's fine!
(Team Kyung-kyu enters the house first!)
Congratulations.
(No wonder I wanted to change teams...)
Work hard!
See you tomorrow.
- It's done after we eat? - It's done.
Enjoy your dinner.
- We don't have time. Good work today. - See you tomorrow.
- Good job. - It was nice seeing you today.
Yes. See you later.
I hope you have a good reconciliation dinner.
- See you tomorrow. - Have a good dinner.
Let's hurry. Run! Run! Run!
What is the fate of Team Ho-dong who has been stimulated by Team Kyung-kyu?
Let's go inside.
(They cheerfully enter the villa)
It's very narrow here.
(The studios are tightly spaced together)
There's another doorbell when you come in here.
(Open)
Hello!
Hello.
(They enter the 15th house)
They enter the dinner of a young man who lives alone
who became a bright light among the dark studios.
- I need to clean up. - It's fine. We can help you clean up.
(Having guests over without being able to organize his room)
(Everyone starts to clean first)
(Dazed)
How long have you been living here?
- About two months? - Two months.
Where did you come from?
I'm from Busan.
Oh, that's my hometown!
(Amazed)
(These men I saw somewhere before are cleaning up my room.../ Working hard)
Hello.
(Greeting after cleaning)
(He's about to hit the ceiling)
- What's your name? - Ban Young-jin
- Ban Young-jin. You're a student, right? - Yes.
What do you eat when you're home for dinner?
Well, I either go out and eat...
or I order food.
- You order food. - Yes.
Then isn't it better if we order food?
- How much do you have with you? - Two dollars.
I have two dollars, too. So that's four dollars.
And he'll...
- How much do you have? - Me?
I have enough to buy a meal.
We're taking his money to buy dinner.
That's not true. We can eat black bean noodles.
We'll add four dollars.
- The staff will give us an advanced payment. - They'll give us an advanced payment.
(W...When did we...?)
- Today... - We'll give you an advanced pay.
(They decided to get an advanced pay since they can't use a student's money)
- He's from my hometown. - Yes.

- Buk-gu. I'm from Choryang. - I see.
The son of Choryang. - Yes.

Do you have a table?
- No. - Probably not.
- Then do you eat on the floor? - He probably eats here.
(Young-jin's table = desk)
What would you like?
Seafood and noodles with black bean sauce.
- Seafood noodle soup. - Just seafood noodle soup.
Seafood and noodles, seafood noodle soup, and fried
- rice. - No, seafood and noodles with black bean sauce.
Oh, Seafood and noodles with black bean sauce,
seafood noodle soup, and fried rice. Bye.
(Finished ordering Chinese food)
- Do you order from here often? - Yes.
I told you I was comedian Lee Kyung-kyu. Did you understand me or...?
I wondered, "What is he saying? Is this a joke?"
I was sleeping, so...
Why did you open the window?
- He wanted to see if it was true. - I wanted to see who was talking.
(Is it really Lee Kyung-kyu?)
- So you had no idea. - Right.
- You gave us permission though. - Because you said you had to eat.
- You're very kind. - He's very warm.
How much is the rent here?
$400.
So $400. Then what about food?
If I eat at school, it's about three to four dollars per meal.
- It'd be cheaper to eat at school. - Yes, it's cheaper to eat alone at school.
What about breakfast?
I eat milk and cereal for breakfast.
- At home? - Yes.
(Cereal, school food, delivery food)
What year are you?
I'm in my fourth year, the graduating class.
Graduating class. Wow.
What about your job?
I have a job waiting in Japan for me.
- Japan? - Yes.

- Tokyo? - Yes.
What neighborhood?
- Shinjuku. - Shinjuku!
I studied in Shinjuku. I'm from Shinjuku!
We're both from Busan, and he's going to Shinjuku, too.
- Excuse me for asking, but what company is it? - It's a small IT company.
(He got a job at a Japanese IT company)
Why did you decide to go to Japan instead of
getting a job at one of the major companies here?
I have some hobbies I like to do in Japan.
(Hobby?)
And I feel like I can have fun working there.
What's your dream?
My dream is to be able to do something to contribute to world peace.
Wow. He's a very amazing gentleman.
I thought I could only hear this in Miss Korea pageants.
His dream is world peace.
How do you want to contribute to world peace?
I don't want to do anything grandiose. It would be
nice if the area around me becomes a better place.
He's very good at speaking.
It happened since I was preparing for my interviews.
Can you speak Japanese?
Yes. I did my interviews in Japanese.
Don't you know how to speak Japanese, too?
You went to study in Japan. How about you two talk in Japanese for a bit?
- I'm the CEO of a Japanese company. - Okay.
Mr. Ban Young-jin...
why do you want to work for our company?
I would like to develop myself more in order to use
my strength to fulfill world peace and other things.
- Really? - What did he say?
(Stuttering since he has to translate)
He would like to contribute to developing the world.
Why?
For the world...huh? Why do you...want to work? Huh?
(Why do you want to work for world peace?)
- I want to have fun while I'm working. - Fun? Really?
I know what "tanoshi" means.
It means fun.
So what he means overall is that he wants to live a fun life.
All you need to know is what "tanoshi" means. Then you'll understand everything.
Fun? Fun!
(Able to translate with just one word)
(A young man who wants to do fun work while contributing to world peace)
What about your girlfriend?
- I'm solo. - Solo? He's solo!
Why don't you have a girlfriend?
(Sigh)
I'm not sure.
(The one who studied abroad doesn't understand)
I'm not sure. I want to know the reason, too.
Did you break up with your girlfriend, or did you never have a girlfriend before?
- I never had one. - Until now?
- Never ever?- Yes.
Single since birth?
- Yes. - Really?
- I don't understand. You're good-looking. - You're normal!
I never had a strong will to date.
You only wanted to study?
Rather than studying, I just liked to search for fun things to do by myself.
What about blind dates?
- I never went on one before. - Are you celibate?
I'm not, but I just don't feel the urge to date right now.
(Pursuing single life rather than dating)
There isn't any trace of women anywhere.
Right.
There are only books and Japanese manga in there.
It's all Japanese. Japanese games and Japanese manga.
You even play games in Japanese.
- That's amazing. - So you play games, too.
- There's a reason why he's going to Japan. - What is it?
He's a mania of Japanese games and anime.
- Are you a mania? - Yes.
He is a mania.
Do you like things like, "Niconiconi?"
Yes, something like that.
Kim Hee-chul should have come here today.
(The girl who is brightly winking by the calendar)
Is this her?
She's my favorite character.
- What's her name? - Takatsuki Yayoi.
- Takatsuki Yayoi? - Yes.
Do you like Yayoi the best?
- Yes. - You like her!
Are you going to marry her?
- No, I'm not going to marry her. - You're not?
(Innocent mania who loves anime)
There was a reason why he was trying so hard to work at a Japanese company.
(There was a reason~!/ Shy)
- That's not it. He's going there for world peace. This is just a hobby. - Right.
- Honestly, things like him will help him learn Japanese. - You're right.
(Ding-dong~)
- Oh, it's here! - Black bean noodles.
While they were getting to know the young man who wants world peace, the
dinner that will bring peace to their stomachs has finally arrived.
I see an instrument here along with music scores. What kind of instrument is it?
- It's a trumpet. - Let's hear him play the trumpet later!
- Let's get as much from him as we can. - The more
you get to know him, you realize he's a bonanza.
(Carefully transporting the food as if it's a baby)
- What did you order? - Fried rice.
Put the fried rice up there.
(The show's first! Delivery food!)
- Young-jin. - Yes.
Where do you eat? Where do you usually eat?
Be natural.
- I sit here. - Then sit there.
- Sit here. We'll be here. - We'll eat a little bit later.
- A little bit later? - Yes, after we watch Young-jin eat first.
- Just eat like you normally do. - Okay.
Real Theater. Ready? Action.
What are we doing?
- He's eating dinner and... - Oh, you want to see how he eats?
We're showing the viewers how he usually eats dinner when he's alone.
When I used to live alone in Japan, I used to talk to myself a lot while I ate.
- I do that often nowadays since I live alone. - Right?
(Slightly mixing the black bean sauce with the rice. One bite.)
(Tactful)
(Just eat)
He doesn't talk at all.
He just dips it in there.
People might think the audio is broken.
He just eats without saying one word.
(Chewing slowly)
- Some people watch TV while they eat. - They turn on TV.
(All he does is quietly eat.../Chewing)
Cut!
(Dinner theater/-the end-)
Come down. Let's eat together.
(They put their dishes on the floor)
It would have been terrible if we hadn't come.
Let me just put this here.
(Taking a proof shot of the dinner)
One, two...
This dinner has been delivered by a Chinese restaurant where a
college student in Bongcheon-dong frequently orders food from.
Although there isn't a table, the dinner is quite
plentiful, thanks to Kyung-kyu who got an advance pay.
Let's eat.
This is nice.
I'm 100% sure that Ho-dong and Kyung-ri haven't eaten yet.
This seafood noodle soup looks delicious.
(Drinking his seafood noodle soup)
(The bowl looks oddly small)
A delicious dinner in a studio in Bongcheon-dong that used to seem desolate.
Meanwhile, Team Ho-dong is still desolate.
- We don't have much time left. - Right.
I have confidence though.
We only have about an hour left.
Do you have confidence?
Of course!
- Let's try this one. - This one? Oh, it seems nice.
(Hurries to ring the doorbell)
(Presses the buttons without hesitation)
- It doesn't work. - It doesn't?
(Nervous)
Is this broken? I think it is. It keeps saying "error."
It doesn't work.
(Slightly)
(The door opened)
Should we go inside and try it?
Slowly. Wait.
(Slowly and calmly)
Wait.
We're going to do it. Ready. Start.
(Press)
Do you hear it?
(She rings it one more time...)
It doesn't work.
(Again?)
(Smells like a losing hand...)
I don't think the doorbells work here.
Can we try knocking?
(Kyung-ri, be calm)
(Ho-dong seems to be the most nervous one)
(Finally the bell works!)
- Who is it? - Hello!
I'm Kyung-ri.
- Who? - Kyung-ri.
What kind of Kyung-ri?
I'm the singer Kyung-ri. Do you know me?
Yes, I do.
I'm from the program "Let's Eat Together."
Have you watched it before?
Yes, I watch it often.
Oh, you do?
Have you eaten dinner yet?
- Not yet. - Can we eat together?
(Thump thump)
I can't really come out on TV...
Do you feel uncomfortable?
- He hung up. - He did?
(The door opens and the owner appears)
Hello!
Are you okay with this?
- I'm not in the best condition... - You're fine.
Ho-dong is here, too.
Hello! Don't feel pressured though. We're just a program where you eat dinner-
I watch this show almost every week.
We can't film if you feel pressured.
(Come in)
Thank you.
(Is this real or is this a dream...?)
(Team Ho-dong entered the house!)
Did you buy those?
You were just microwaving it in the oven right now.
But there are only two of them.
(Great timing!)
If we weren't here, what would've happened?
I would have just watched TV while eating alone.
(Today's dinner is from the convenience store)
(Looks around)
Then what about our dinner?
You can eat these. I can starve.
We have money.
How much do you have? Should we go buy something?
- Should we? - What do you want to eat? It's my treat.
Help us pick the right lunch box.
Meat would be a good choice.
(Bought lunch box & cup ramen)
Where do you eat breakfast?
I eat here.
This is like a dining hall.
It has become much more plentiful than before.
- We have this and this. - There's a lot.
Look. There's plenty of food.
This is the simple dinner of a working man who lives alone in Bongcheon-dong.
The three people's dinner has been completed with food from the convenience store.
Today, it's from the convenience store.
Thank you for the food!
(Everyone starts to eat)
These two people have been hungry for both food and people in Bongcheon-dong.
Even if the food is cup ramen and a lunch box from the convenience store.
They feel the warmth of a home-cooked meal as they share the dinner with others.
Eat the big one.
Hurry up and eat it, or I'll be heartbroken.
(Swallowed the meat without hesitance)
(Totally delicious)
Celebrities eat these kinds of food, too.
- We film a lot in the outdoors. - Right.
They share a lot of stories over the feast from the convenience store.
Don't worry about our show at all.
(However, he carefully brings up his story...)
To be honest, I got a divorce.
To be honest, I haven't told my parents yet.
I want to talk about my hardships and get comforted.
Besides the fact that we're filming and that you guys are celebrities,
I think it's very nice to have people over at my house and talk with them.
Today feels very meaningful to me.
(Due to his request, we didn't release his footage on TV.
We hope the viewers will understand.)
(Meanwhile in the studio)
If you had gone to your club meeting, what would you have eaten?
- I would've eaten meat. - Oh, pork belly?
- Pay the fees? - Yes.
Is it okay if you don't go to your club meeting?
I can go slowly.
What club is it?
There's an online community at Seoul University, and I manage that.
How many people will come?
About ten people will come today.
- Ten? - Yes.
Do you like Syarosugil?
Yes, I go there often.
Are you meeting your club friends at Syarosugil?
No, we meet at the club room. Syarosugil takes guests in small scales.
There's not enough room for even eight people.
Have you ever ate there by yourself before?
Yes.
(Young-jin ate by himself at Syarosugil)
Who keeps calling me? Is it Ho-dong?
This doesn't feel real at all.
- Why? - It's been five years since I've lived
in Seoul, but I haven't seen a celebrity before.
I wonder, "Why are they eating dinner with me in my room?"
"It's strange. I thought I had been sleeping."
The moment the doorbell is rang...
If you open the door for us, a mysterious world will be opened.
If you don't, we have to keep roaming around the streets.
We're able to eat this right now because he opened the door for us.
It's been a short time, but we found out so
- much about him. - We know a lot about him!
- We know so much about you! - I think you know plenty about me.
I think we know fairly well about him.
And I don't think he has told a lot of the things he told us to his friends.
Right. He seems like a very heavy guy.
He doesn't talk much.
He wears a poker face.
There are no changes in his facial expressions.
- He doesn't laugh out loud. - He doesn't.
- Do you like any girl groups? - Girl groups.
(Thinking deeply)
Who came with us today?
- Kyung-ri. - Kyung-ri. Do you know Kyung-ri?
- I think I heard about her before. - From Nine Muses.
I see...
I don't remember her face.
- We came with Kyung-ri today. - I see.
(His expression isn't changing...)
(Depressed Kyung-ri)
- He doesn't care if he eats with her or us. - He doesn't care.
He could have become a great monk.
(Nodding)
(He's wearing gray, too)
Isn't it lonely to live by yourself?
I think it's fine.
I'm sorry, monk. I asked a stupid question.
(I have fun by myself)
We do this segment when we go into these homes.
- "I compliment you! I'm disappointed!" - There are many segments.
Kang Ho-dong made up all of this!
He made up all of this, and I'm trying to clean up all the mess!
He did something like this, "I like you! I'm disappointed!"
"I compliment you. I'm very, very disappointed!"
It's so immature, so I don't do that!
But anyways, this is one of the segments of the show.
Since you're alone, tell us three compliments about yourself.
"My strengths are this, this, and this..."
(Thinking)
- First one. - First one.
My strength.
I'm very good at eating my meals slowly.
He's a monk.
- Monks eat slowly. - He eats slowly.
- That's very important. - It is.
I think he'll live for a long time. Second one.
I have a regular sleeping schedule.
(Oh...Monk Young-jin...)
What time do you sleep and wake up?
I sleep at 1 a.m and wake up at 9 a.m.
(Young man who lives an orderly, regular life)
Third one.
I'm a very honest person.
- Yes, I think he's honest because it's very hard to reveal his anime. - Right.
- However, he didn't hesitate. - I hurriedly cleaned up a bit.
- Oh, here? - There were posters there.
(Somewhere in this room...is the trace of anime)
- He took them all down! - I thought they would be inappropriate.
- Right. - Show us one of those posters.
(Slyly reaches into his closet)
(Ta-da)
(Showing the bright anime poster)
(Filled with smiling girls)
- Do they all have names? - Of course they do.
The one you like the best.
- The one I like the best? - The one you're most interested in.
She's over there, too. Takatsuki Yayoi.
(My Takatsuki Yayoi)
She's cute!
- Who else? - Who's that?
She's Makoto.
- Makoto. - Makoto.
- Miki. - Miki!
- Haruka. - Haruka!
Hajiko's friend Haruka!
Chihaya.
- Chihaya. - Chihaya.
- Mami. - Mami!
- Ritsuko. - Ritsuko.
- Azusa. - Azusa.
No wonder he didn't let us in right away.
He opened the window and talked with us first.
"Okay. Please come up a little later."
That's when he rushed to hide all the goodies.
He's a bonanza.
(Onion-like charming man...)
Now that you mentioned the three strengths, you need to
- mention three thing you must fix about yourself. - Self-diss.
"This is my problem."
"I must fix this."
It would be nice if I could use my time more wisely.
You need to manage your time better.
Yes. I should play more games, but I'm not able to.
My parents shouldn't hear this.
- It's over anyways. - You graduated anyways.
That's right.
He learned Japanese because he loved anime.
With those skills, he got a job in Japan. This is a
good example of achieving something that you are a fan of.
You played the trumpet, right?
- Yes. - Where is your trumpet?
It's in that bag over there.
- This? - Yes.
This is the trumpet? Wow! How many years have you been playing this for?
- It's been about five years. - Wow!
Why did you decide to learn how to play the trumpet?
I used to be in an orchestra in high school as a hobby.
This is an anime OST.
(His love for anime never changes)
- Are you going to play this song? - I'm not sure.
Play something you have confidence in that you practiced before.
We went to Cheongdam-dong, and there was a man who lived alone.
He was a violinist.
Stop it!
- I'm sorry. - Just take it with you!
Why are you trying to hang that up?
His identity is in here.
I can do it with this.
There's another Kang Ho-dong here.
How tiring.
It's done.
I escaped the precinct station, but the police station appeared.
I escaped Kang Ho-dong, but he appeared.
He's very exhausting, too.
Anyways, he played "Air On The G String" for us.
(On one cold night in a semi-basement in Cheongdam-dong)
(Doo-sung's music had melted frozen KyuDong)
(What will Young-jin play?)
(We heard that somewhere before...)
(Morning bugle)
(Doing his best)
This is driving me nuts.
Wake up!
This is the morning bugle!
- He's very unique. - He is.
(A song that was beyond their imagination)
I was a personnel when I was in the army.
I used to play this tape at six in the morning.
(A deep (?) connection with the morning bugle)
There's one for sleeping, right?
- Sleeping? - The night bugle. It makes you feel nice.
(The sound from his memory...)
(He's sincerely playing the night bugle)
(He fell asleep...)
Morning bugle!
(Gets up right away)
There's no change in his expression.
Wow. This makes me think of the time I was in the army.
Where did you serve?
- In the army? - I was in the military band in the army.
- He's very unique. - Out of the blue...
we came in here to eat dinner, but we got to know about him.
There's a saying that goes, "When a person walks this
- way, he walks this way with his history." - Right.
- And he's only twenty-seven years old. - Yes.
- Do you talk to your parents often? - Yes.
- Call your parents. - Pardon?
- We'll say hello to them. - He'll talk to them.
- This is a segment. - Yes.
"Call Your Parents" segment.
- Kang Ho-dong made this up, too. - Really?
What do your parents do?
Elementary school teacher.
Both of them?
- My father works somewhere else. - So your mother is an elementary school teacher.
Hello? What are you doing?
Let me talk to her.
Yes, I did eat dinner.
But suddenly...
Unrealistic things are happening to me at the moment.
What happened?
I think I'm appearing on a TV program?
- You? - I don't know...
- You're coming out on TV? - Ask if she knows our show.
Do you know "Let's Eat Dinner Together?"
- I do. - Yeah. Those people came to eat here.
- Where? - My house.
- Your house? You mean the studio? - Yes.
Why? There's nothing to eat there...
We ordered black bean noodles.
Hello, ma'am!
- Hello! - This is Lee Kyung-kyu!
- She must be at a school dinner or something. - Yes.
Are you at a school dinner?
- Please hold on. - Sure.
Hello, ma'am!
Hi!
We talked with your son.
He lives in a very small place.
It's almost like a boarding room.
- I always watch "Let's Eat Dinner Together." - Yes.
This is bad.
I know that he isn't able to eat well.
- This is amazing. - I know.
Ma'am, do you know that Young-jin likes those girls that come out in Japanese anime?
He's a mania.
(Oh...mother...)
So you do know he's a mania!
- Yes. - Ma'am.
She's down-to-earth.
Ma'am, do you know Seo Jang-hoon, the former
basketball player who is now an entertainer?
- Yes, I know him. - He's right here. Say hello.
Hello, ma'am.
- I'm curious about something. - Yes?
Young-jin is very good-looking and smart.
I heard something shocking though. He told me he was single
since birth. He hasn't dated anyone for twenty-seven years.
- I'm worried about that, too. - Is he telling the truth?
Yes. He has never dated anyone. He's been single since birth.
- He was telling the truth. - He was being truthful.
Ma'am, I heard your son is going to leave to Japan because he got a job there.
- Yes. - Please brag about your son. What are some good points about him?
He is considerate and good-looking.
- He's good-looking. - He's good-looking?
Oh, my.
- You're right. He's good-looking. - He's good-looking.
Talk to her, Young-jin.
Tell her something you couldn't usually tell her.
- Things I couldn't tell her? - Yes.
I usually tell her everything.
Then tell her again.
Take care.
Okay.
- Do you love your mom? - Of course I do.
- Tell her you love her. - I do it every day. I love you.
- Oh, my. - I love you, Jin.
Okay.
- Ma'am. - She said it.
- She did? Thank you for talking to us. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Your mother is nice. She's a teacher, too. - She's down-to-earth.
Young-jin's onion-like charms are filling up the room.
(Calling Team Ho-dong)
Hello?
Hi, Kyung-kyu.
What happened?
We're at Bongcheon-dong. Say hi.
- Hello. - Oh! They were able to get dinner!
Let's try video calling.
- Just press that button, Kyung-kyu. - Oh, I got it.
- Hello? - What did you eat for dinner?
- Us? - Yes.
We ordered from a Chinese restaurant.
Wow!
What do you think we ate?
- Say hi to Kyung-ri. - Hello.
- Say hi. - Hello.
(Calm and cool)
Do you want to eat with Kyung-ri or with Kyung-kyu and Jang-hoon?
He doesn't know anything. This person...
- He's not that kind of person. - He's not!
He's not the kind of person you think he is!
He's not the kind of person to eat dinner with girls!
Have you been single since birth?
(Bingo)
He's been single since birth!
What did you eat for dinner?
I told you we ordered Chinese food.
That's cheating, Kyung-kyu!
(Hangs up)
(Bewildered)
(Press)
- I like this. - Why does he keep asking me that?
I like this so much!
- We need to do this. Love like this. - What do I do?
Just hold up your spoon like this.
One, two, three.
The 15th house has been born from a studio in
Bongcheon-dong with an unforgettable character.
- And a few days later... - Thank you.
This commemorative photo has been delivered to the young boy.
- Young-jin. - Yes.
Cheer up!
- Thank you. - Cheer up!
- Thank you. It was so much fun. - I hope you succeed.
And another house where they shared a warm dinner and affection.
(2017 Lunar New Year's Day)
Happy New Year!
(On their hands and knees)
"If you put your hand on the silkworm and pray, your wish will come true."
- Please let us succeed. - Please!
(In front of KyuDong!)
(Ta-da!)
(Heart attack!)
Hello!
(Good Body Seol-hyun)
This is like Cheongdam-dong plus Pyeongchan-dong.
Many French people live here.
(Seorae Village)
- Oh, hello! - Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh! Hello!
We might really end up at a celebrity's house.
- Bonjour! - We're not French.
(Ho-dong failed while jumping to conclusions)
(Embarrassed)
- When people give you food on the streets, it's free. - That's not acceptable!
You ate waffles last time.
You ate eggs and sweet potatoes this time.
(Flustered)
Why are you digging around?
- Then... - She has so many questions!
Just eat whatever is given to you.
(King of Questions is just bright)
- I'm a really big fan of you. - Thank you.
- Seol-hyun! Come on! - AOA!
Seol-hyun!
(Running over)
You're going to tell your friends.
Wait a minute. I don't think I'm the one on your wallpaper.
That's not me!
Let's eat at a French home tonight. We can drink all the wine there!
The God of Entertainment is going to help us?
Hello! I'm Seol-hyun.
I can't speak Korean well.
Hi! I'm Seol-hyun.
(Is she good at English?)
What do you want? Sorry?
Food! Together!
(Will the God of Entertainment be with them...?)
("Let's Eat Dinner Together")
Let's say "cheer up!" One, two, three!
- Cheer up! - Cheer up!
(Saying bye with an encouragement)
- When they open the front door, and we go inside... - Yes.
- It's very surprising to see an infinite amount of stories. - Seriously.
To someone else, it's heavy...
Today's episode of "Let's Eat Dinner Together" is...
And to someone else, it's light, like leaving work.
It's like coming out of the blue...
In this place where people dwell alone, everyone lives in their own world.
Anyways, we hope all of you don't skip a meal.
