(This program is about 2 MCs)
(who are praised and survived)
(in a jungle of variety shows.)
(This is a documentary about these two)
(going on a trip to find dinner.)
What's going on?
(Kyu-dong bros sat down.)
None?
What?
What happened to them...?
(8 hours ago at Kimpo Airport.)
Kyung-kyu.
This is the international terminal.
Today's the global special!
Let's Have Dinner Together!
Your face is hard to look at.
I mean look at the time...
It's 6 in the morning right now.
We're meeting earlier and earlier now.
This is too early.
Planes at this international terminal
only go to Japan and China.
I...
Don't think we're going to China.
China...
Was exploited
by New Journey To The West.
(Even they're going to Vietnam now...)
Our staff will never go to China.
You used China too much.
So you think...
We're going to Japan?
It's 100% Japan.
The furthest destination
in Let's Have Dinner Together's history...
We have to talk to the people...
But there's a language barrier...
It was to keep you from talking to people.
(Very radical treatment...)
I don't understand.
I can't even think about it.
If we're going abroad...
As a global special...
Wait.
(Where's today's destination?)
(Japan.)
Japan...
What does this mean?
It's all written in Japanese.
Go to...
Yokohama in Japan
and eat with Korean Japanese residents.
(Amazing.)
(He reads Japanese without a hitch.)
You're amazing!
Amazing!
Stop.
This was pretty easy.
I studied in Japan over 10 years ago.
I didn't even stay that long.
(We're going to Japan because)
(we have Kyung-kyu.)
What does it mean?
Eat with Korean Japanese
in a city of Yokohama in Japan.
We can't eat with Japanese people?
Of course not.
We have to find Korean people in Yokohama.
During the Japanese occupation,
a lot of Koreans were taken
to Japan for forced labor.
In 1945, when the occupation ended,
there were 2 million Koreans
still left in Japan.
People who couldn't come back to Korea
because of the war
and their livelihood,
formed the 1st generation
of Korean immigrants.
There are about 500,000 Koreans
living in Japan in cities such as
Tokyo and Osaka.
Can they meet Korean people
in a foreign country
with holding a spoon?
Let's go.
Do you think it'll work out?
I think...
The chances of meeting
Korean immigrants isn't high.
Exactly!
This might be a waste of time.
Our 3rd summer special has a risk
of being a waste of time.
A city much further than Jeju or Kwangju.
The city of Yokohama
Kanagawa-ken in Honshu.
Yokohama is right next to Tokyo.
It is the biggest port city in Japan.
As an important city for military strategy,
a lot of Koreans live here.
In a city with a lot of people
and a beautiful view,
these Korean immigrants live despite
the painful history
and being homesick.
Can they see how they eat dinner
in Yokohama today?
Let's Have Dinner Together, episode 40.
Bluelight Yokohama.
(Tokyo Haneda Airport.)
(Current time 11:10 AM.)
(A journey to find a meal)
(in a foreign country has finally started.)
(Wait for me.)
(Sticky pig.)
Where are we going?
(We're here but,)
(where are we supposed to go...?)
Thankfully...
The signs are written in Korean too.
(Signs are written in Korean too.)
Where are we supposed to go?
Where are we going?
Shut up for a second!
I'm scared.
Where are we going?
(Seems lost.)
Hi!
(Korean was clearly heard.)
Are you Korean?
We're Japanese.
(But they recognized Kyu-dong.)
How do we go to Yokohama station?
Here.
She's so good at Korean.
What TV show did you watch?
Ask Us Anything.
I love that show...
Their Korean is really good.
Thank you.
If you go straight, there's a Keikyu line
to your right.
Your pronunciation is great.
Thank you.
Is she a Korean immigrant?
She said she's Japanese.
But her pronunciation is so good!
She watches Ask Us Anything...
We might meet
Let's Have Dinner Together's fan.
(A subway that goes to Yokohama station.)
We need to buy tickets.
(They have to buy tickets first...)
(How do I buy tickets...?)
(Ho-dong is talking to foreigners now.)
(Conversation over.)
The language barrier
finally made Ho-dong quiet.
(Meanwhile Kyung-kyu...)
(Is figuring out how to buy tickets.)
(Peek here.)
(Peek there.)
Excuse me.
We want to go to Yokohama.
Yokohama?
Ticket...
You take Keikyu line.
It's 450yen.
(A nice Japanese man helps him out.)
(Successfully bought tickets.)
(How do I do this?)
Over there!
(To Yokohama station.)
(Arrived at the platform.)
(A subway comes in.)
Yokohama!
It's direct.
To Yokohama?
You have to change trains in some lines.
But this one is non-stop.
I'll ask.
Excuse me.
(Closer.)
We want to go to the Yokohama station.
That's where I'm going.
Is this non-stop?
Yes
She's going there too.
We can get off when she does.
(Thankfully met someone)
(who's going to Yokohama too.)
(They're a bit more relieved now.)
We have a lot of difficulties today...
Because we have different cultures.
We can't just walk around
ringing bells at random houses.
We need to find Korean people...
But can we...?
We need to find Koreans...
But this is an uphill battle.
This feels like Mangwondong.
(Episode 1.)
I feel helpless.
(This helplessness isn't new.)
Experience at Mangwondong
comes back to them like a deja vu.
(It's almost a carbon copy.)
Why don't we have a guest today?
I'm sure we'll have one in Yokohama...
I'm sure we do.
They won't...
Let us do this alone.
The guests are their last strand of hope.
Excuse me.
Do a lot of Korean people live
near the Yokohama station?
Yes.
Really?
(Which town has the most Korean people?)
Most Koreans are in either hotels
or malls.
They're in tourist attractions.
Are you planning to film
at the Landmark Tower?
Cosmo World?
In our show...
We look for Korean people's houses...
And have a meal together.
If we came to your house
rang the bell
and asked if we can eat there,
would you let us IN?
I think it'll be alright.
Really?
(Her answer gave them some assurances.)
It's the next station.
Next one.
I haven't been here in 10 years.
Thank you.
(Arrived at the Yokohama station.)
Where do we go?
Let me ask.
There are so many people here.
(Busy.)
Today's Sunday too!
Yokohama station is known for getting
one of the most foot traffics in the world.
Japanese people use trains all the time.
Taxis are so expensive here.
They must have good public transportation.
Since it's only 1 right now...
Let's go to the Cosmo World...
Landmark Tower?
(This Ferris wheel is Yokohama's symbol.)
Yokohama's symbol?
Let's go there...
And ask either Koreans or Japanese
where Korean people live.
I'm sure that place has a lot of Koreans.
So we go to Cosmo World on a train?
Yes, to Minato Mirai.
They're on their way
to Landmark Tower
where a lot of tourists visit.
I think it's this way...
(Not here.)
I'm exhausted.
(Yokohama station is very crowded)
(and complex.)
They can't even get out of the station.
(Where are we supposed to go...)
(Confused.)
(They walk and walk some more.)
This way?
(Exhausted.)
(Searching online.)
(First time at the Yokohama station?)
This station is so complicated.
It's so crowded!
Let's just take the bus.
We've been stuck in here for an hour!
(Spent an hour and a half)
(at Yokohama station.)
Bus?
Then get the tickets...
I don't know that well either!
Everyone's counting on you!
Even the staff!
Let's ask a Japanese people for help.
Excuse me.
Hope I'm not intruding.
Which bus...
Goes to the Cosmo World?
A bus?
(Even the Japanese people has to search.)
Everyone's counting on you.
If you mess it up,
we all mess up.
You're making it worse.
109.
109?
109!
(Repeats in Korean so he remembers.)
Thank you.
The bus terminal!
Ho-dong!
The bus terminal!
Since we're in Japan...
This is nogada.
What's that?
Too much work.
(Kyung-kyu is working hard today.)
(Today's conversations are carried by)
(Kyung-kyu because Ho-dong)
(can't speak Japanese.)
Cosmo World!
At Sakuragi-cho station...
It's this way!
(He feels more responsible today.)
Over here!
Ho-dong, who can't talk to people,
only has Kyung-kyu to rely on.
(He's trying hard to talk to people.)
It's hot.
(Tries to talk to a kid.)
You're cute.
Hey.
Don't do that in Japan.
They hate it.
(Bus arrived.)
After a strenuous effort,
they got on the bus that goes to
the Cosmo World.
Can they find clues that will lead them
to Korean people?
Excuse me.
Does Yokohama have a Koreatown?
I don't know about...
A Koreatown.
Really?
They might not know it.
(It isn't easy.)
We need to find Koreans and ask them.
(Helpless.)
(He's already exhausted.)
This is really difficult.
We can't press random bells...
We need as much information as possible.
And that still not be enough.
(They're getting more nervous...)
Not having a guest
will make this so much worse!
I hope our guest is good at Japanese.
(Cosmo World can be seen from the window.)
Over there.
(Finally arrived!)
Thank you.
(Thanked the people who helped them...)
Thank you!
You have to get on it in Yokohama.
The Ferris wheel?
Ferris wheels are normally
in a landmark of the town.
You can see it from anywhere.
That's huge.
(A huge Ferris wheel that can be seen)
(from far away.)
Landmark Plaza!
We have 63 Building.
(Landmark Tower. 70 floors at 295,8m.)
(Tallest building from 1993 to 2014.)
(Observation deck at the 69th floor.)
But that's not where we're going!
We need to go to the Ferris wheel.
This is the entrance to the building.
We came the wrong way.
(A mess.)
Yokohama Bluelight?
Bluelight Yokohama.
In its lyrics...
There's a part when she sings,
Walk and walk.
Let's walk together.
(Released in 1968 by Ishida Ayumi.)
(It was even popular in Korea too.)
I know that lyrics.
I want to walk with you.
(Walk and walk...)
(Like a small boat...)
(I'm wavering.)
(That's why I'm coming to you.)
(I can only hear the sound of footsteps.)
(Yokohama.)
(Bluelight's Yokohama...)
5 minutes...
Let's sit for 5 minutes.
What's wrong with me?
(They look exhausted...)
Director!
Where's the guest?
Is it just us?
You two are doing well.
What?
(What did we just hear...?)
None?
(No guests are coming today!)
Are we going back to episode 1?
This is just like Mangwondong.
It's Mangwondong all over again.
This is a huge gamble by our staff.
They're relying on Kyung-kyu alone.
Going back to our roots in Yokohama.
It's just two of them again.
They start from the bottom again...
We have to arrive at a town
where a lot of Koreans live
by 5 at least.
We need to take a look around.
Then we can start at 6.
The global special...
But if we're successful...
Our program can expand.
(The opposite could be possible too.)
If we can only meet Korean immigrants,
there would be so much to talk about.
Exactly!
From the reason why they live here,
to how they're living here...
And what they think about Korea.
Exactly!
(Getting close to the Ferris wheel.)
So hot...
Is this it?
I think so.
Yokohama's tourist attraction, Cosmo World.
Built on the sea,
the Cosmo World has
one of the biggest Ferris wheel in Japan
and other rides.
They get the Ferris wheel
hoping to see the city from the top.
Let's Have Dinner Together,
global special with Lee Kyung-kyu
in Yokohama.
I think...
You need to go for it.
You have to be responsible
for this special.
You should plan everything!
Okay.
We'll get some panorama shots here.
Then see how Korean people live
in Japan.
Please.
You have to paint the picture.
(He's leading by example now.)
2 people.
(Easily buys two tickets.)
(Queueing for the Ferris wheel.)
We'll see all of Yokohama up there.
(They're excited about the Ferris wheel.)
(But...)
(It broke down...)
We can't go on?
Nope.
(Can't get on the ride?)
How long is the wait?
It'll take about an hour
to fix the air conditioner.
We can't get on?
(No?)
(Can't get on the ride!)
(Couldn't get on the Ferris wheel!)
That's such a let down.
What do we do now?
Kyung-kyu!
Are we going to wait or just go?
Let's go down...
How can it break right in front of us?
That's terrible timing.
It's one of those days.
Nothing's easy today.
Kyung-kyu's plan to see the view
has failed...
We're next to the sea.
Let's go see it.
We're in Yokohama, we have to go see it.
Okay, let's go.
You need to plan these things quickly!
Okay.
It's too hot, I can't concentrate...
I'm losing my mind.
Over there.
There's the sea.
Let's sit down in the shade...
Would it be cooler down there?
(It's across the street.)
So hot...
(Exhausting day.)
It has to be like 40 degrees right now.
It feels like it.
Even the ground is burning.
Japan's hot weather
is melting Kyung-kyu's face...
(Anxious.)
One step by you,
is our program's one step.
One word that you say,
is our program's word too.
Stop pressuring me.
You're trying to throw me under the bus...
If we're successful today...
You'll be the hero
who widened our show's
spectrum.
Is that the guest?
Someone's lying down!
(The staff didn't sabotage Kyu-dong?)
I knew it!
That's our guest!
I have no idea who that is.
(But that person looks so natural...)
(Let's see...)
That's not our guest.
That's genuine.
That's too real.
Yokohama!
Yokohama's sea!
They're fishing here.
The water must be clean!
(Tries to talk to this man.)
Do you know where Korean restaurants are?
Are there any nearby?
I have no idea.
(Locals don't know?)
Let's rest in the shade...
I'll go ask.
Yokohama's sea cools down Kyu-dong
who are exhausted and helpless.
(His addiction of making conversations)
(has returned.)
Thank you.
Amazing.
No one knows!
(Have you ever seen Kyung-kyu)
(walking by the sea)
(looking for Koreans?)
(Kyung-kyu, the hyena,)
(is looking for traces of Koreans.)
(I want to find something...)
Excuse me.
Do you know where Korean restaurants are?
Korean restaurants or stores...
(Kyung-kyu's inquiry is not stopping.)
I have no idea...
No idea...
(Doesn't know either.)
(Where could it be...)
Excuse me!
I'm looking for a Korean restaurant.
Korean restaurant?
Where was it...
Korean restaurants...
Or Korean street...
(He doesn't know either...)
Near Yoshidamachi.
Yoshidamachi?
(He finally found it!)
A lot of Koreans?
A lot!
Delicious!
Restaurants are delicious?
Better than restaurants in Seoul!
Have you been there?
Of course!
(He's looking for the address.)
This is Sakuragi-cho.
If you go here...
You'll find a lot of bars.
It's called Fukutomi-cho.
(He finally found Korean restaurants!)
Can we walk from here?
No?
It'll take 20 to 30 minutes.
Thank you so much.
Have fun.
Thank you!
Bye!
(Thanks for your help.)
(Proud.)
Fukutomi-cho!
Mr. Kang!
I found it!
(His walking back with his head held high.)
I found Korean restaurants.
Where is it?
Fukutomi-cho!
Fukutomi-cho?
It's a 30 minutes walk.
Fukutomi-cho?
It has a lot of Korean restaurants
and they're better than Seoul.
But we're not supposed to find restaurants.
But Koreans must be there.
So ask the people in the restaurant?
Now we'll know where Koreans live.
They could live close to the restaurants.
(They're one stop closer)
(to finding Koreans)
(by finding out about Fukutomi-cho.)
(The goal is near!)
(Arrived at Fukutomi-cho.)
Signs are in Korean!
Nail shop!
Cafe.
(The signs are in Korean!)
I'm so relieved to see Korean.
Korean food!
(A restaurant selling Korean food.)
Rice wine!
Pork belly!
(Pork belly, Korean soul food!)
(They arrived at the right place.)
(There are a lot of Korean restaurants)
(in this street.)
It's a cluster of Korean restaurants.
(They're in a lot of variety too.)
I'm happy to see Korean signs.
Seoul restaurant!
(They're finally relieved.)
(Mr. Lee's kitchen.)
That's my name!
Look at that.
(It's only been half a day)
(but they're happy to see Korean!)
Pusan!
Pusan harbor.
This town feels warm
because the signs are in Korean.
Chicken!
Pork belly.
(Everything's here.)
Koreans!
Lee Kyung-kyu!
Hi!
Are you guys eating?
Hello.
Kang Ho-dong's here too.
(Their first welcome in Yokohama.)
Do you guys live here?
We live here.
(They finally met Korean immigrants.)
Are you the owner or a guest?
I'm a guest.
She's the owner.
(She's the owner.)
(Owner's happy dance.)
Hurry up and take the picture!
How long did you own this restaurant for?
12 years.
We walked around Yokohama all day.
We heard this area
has the most Korean restaurants?
Yup.
(It's known as the Koreatown street.)
Do a lot of Korean people live here too?
Yup, a lot of people do.
A lot.
They all have restaurants here.
We came in here to ask some questions.
Where do we need to go
to find where Koreans live?
Their houses?
Do Koreans live in one area?
They all live in different locations.
We have to go ring a bell
at people's houses
and eat with them in our program.
Do you think we'll be successful?
I don't think so.
Why not?
Why?
Because you can't guarantee
that Koreans live in that apartment.
Wait...!
This is a familiar situation!
I don't think you guys will be successful.
The ominous prediction they heard
on their first day...
So you think
it'll be hard for us
to be successful...
If you are successful...
Let's Have Dinner Together
will have struck gold.
(100% sure of striking gold!)
Bye!
Carefully predicted their failure...
As much as they were relieved,
they feel more helpless too.
Hello.
(Kyung-kyu walks into a store.)
We sell Kokomen here!
Really?
(Immigrants welcome Kyung-kyu.)
(More Koreans!)
This is the convenience store!
Do you sell Korean products here?
There are a lot of Koreans here too.
All of our products are genuine too!
So a lot of Koreans must live here too
right?
Yup.
In apartments?
I heard they all live in different places?
(They said Koreans are scattered too.)
Our situation would've been so much better
if they lived in one area...
We don't know
who lives in unit 201 or 202.
(Hard to pick out where Koreans live.)
Since we sell groceries and deliver...
If you look at the map here...
He's like a realtor!
(Found a map of his customers' houses.)
This place is a gold mine!
(Accidentally stumbled on a gold mine.)
They're all Koreans?
Yes.
Look!
Let's take a picture of it.
A picture will be confusing too.
Let's just walk around
in that general area.
You guys deliver?
Yes.
Which direction should we go to
to find a lot of Koreans?
(That's difficult.)
You have to go this way.
This way?
If we find a Korean people's house,
do you think we can join them for a meal?
A lot of people live by themselves.
Around 60 to 70% of Koreans live alone.
Really?
People who live by themselves...
Tend to eat outside more...
So you think joining them for a meal
will be difficult?
Some people wake up in the afternoon
to go work at night.
A lot of people are like that.
Everyone thinks it'll be hard...
I think there's about 20 to 30% chance.
If we come here around 8pm,
would we find Korean people eating here?
Some people eat ramen or chicken...
Here?
Ramen store is over there.
(This store even sells chicken.)
We can come here to eat with them.
Kyung-kyu.
We can't just assume that we'll fail.
(Kyung-kyu's nervousness was revealed.)
How long have you two been married for?
24 years.
24?
How did you start living in Yokohama?
I first came here...
To learn about tuning cars.
To study?
To Tokyo.
Where are you from?
Pusan.
Came to Tokyo from Pusan?
How about your wife?
About a year and a half later,
the rest of the family came.
We didn't come here to live here.
You guys were already married?
We even had 2 kids.
So you moved to Yokohama from Tokyo?
I went moved to Saitama first.
To Saitama?
Then to Gunma then Yokohama.
We had a lot of ups and downs.
This should've been a book.
That's a huge detour from Tokyo.
We went around the entire Kanto region.
We were poor...
If we talk about your life,
how many episodes do you think
we'll get in our show?
My friends can't know I live like this...
They think I'm doing very well!
You guys are doing very well!
Who cares?
This is a big store!
Okay then...
Where can I find a real estate agency?
Down this way?
Yes.
A Korean realtor.
Korean?
(A Korean realtor!)
Where is it?
Walking there is a bit...
We have to walk around anyways.
So go down this way?
Yes.
We'll try to find it.
Good luck with your business.
Whether you succeed or not...
We'll give you some delicious chicken
for dinner.
Thank you.
Good luck!
It was nice meeting you today.
God bless you!
Thank you!
(A very warm sendoff.)
(But...)
Doing the whole thing
relying on Kyung-kyu alone is crazy.
Everyone thinks that our chances
of success is only about 20%.
Kyu-dong goes to find a realtor
despite ominous predictions.
The weather isn't as hot anymore.
Are you okay?
It's alright.
You're okay?
(He's fine.)
What do you eat lately?
Your stamina is getting better.
Are you on something?
Kyung-kyu overdosed on a drug called
responsibility.
Since today's Lee Kyung-kyu special...
You must be on edge.
To find this place...
I walked around everywhere before.
You might faint when we're done today.
This is hopeless.
These are all apartments, right?
They're all apartments.
Look at those laundry drying.
They're apartments?
In Japan, housings like this
is called mansions.
It's an equivalent to apartments in Korea.
Unlike apartments that have
multiple buildings,
Japanese mansions consist one building
in most cases.
How do we know which unit
has Koreans living in it?
We'll just have to go for it...
This is like finding a needle
in a haystack.
This is really difficult.
I mean...
The people at the restaurant
thought we'll fail.
(Can't forget that resolute answer...)
Realtor!
Here it is.
A realtor specializing in Korean people.
5th floor.
(They finally found a Korean realtor.)
Air conditioning...
I can't believe we found it!
I can't believe we found
a Korean realtor...
(Their desperation found the way...)
(Let's see...)
I hope someone's in there.
(Unlike in Korea,)
(the office is in the building.)
(Carefully follows the arrow.)
I think this is it...
(A Korean sign posted on a door.)
Doesn't this feel like ringing a bell?
This feels exactly like
ringing the door bell.
This is so different than Korean realtors.
(Nervous.)
(Courageously knocks on the door!)
Excuse me!
Hello.
Excuse me.
Are you...
Japanese?
Yes.
Is there a Korean inside?
Yes.
Please give me a second.
(Go gets a Korean employee.)
Japanese people work here too.
Of course.
(Careful.)
In Korea, we would've just walked in.
I don't think I can do that here...
I'm an expert in real estate.
But I feel so timid here.
Hi!
(Surprised.)
We're from Korea.
Is it okay if we film here?
We have a few questions about real estate.
Sure.
We're filming for
Let's Have Dinner Together.
Can we go in?
(Finally walks in to a Korean realtor.)
Nice to meet you.
It's so good to see you.
I'm so surprised.
There's no need!
(Operated by Korean immigrants.)
Hello.
Hi.
Specializing in Korean people.
Finding here was difficult!
We walked all the way here
from the convenience store...
In Fukutomi-cho?
Lee Mart!
You know it?
We walked from there...
(Pat on the hand.)
How long...
Did you do this business for?
I've been living here for 9 years.
And before that?
I was in Kyoto.
What did you do in Kyoto?
I owned a grocery store.
What made you come to Yokohama?
My friend over there...
Suggested it to me.
He's been a realtor here for a long time.
He asked me to help him
with his business.
Are you married?
Yes.
How about your family?
We live together.
How many kids do you have?
1 son and 1 daughter.
How old are they?
10 and 5.
Daughter and son?
Son then daughter.
Where do you live?
About 10 minutes walk from here.
Mansion?
Yes.
There are only a few houses
where Koreans can live in.
Not just in Yokohama, but in Tokyo too.
Even if I had money,
and I wanted to move into that mansion...
I can't.
Why's that?
To put it bluntly, discrimination.
Some don't allow foreigners.
I told you that before.
Not because you're Korean?
Because you're a foreigner?
Not because I'm Korean.
It's a discrimination against foreigners.
Do a lot of Koreans live in this area?
Yes.
Around this area?
Are they all mansions?
Do Korean people live there?
Those are good houses.
They don't accept foreigners.
So hardly any on that street.
Go to the right of those apartments.
This way.
Do you know our show?
Is this where you...
Eat...
Do you know the title?
Let's Have Dinner Together!
How do you watch it?
A lot people watch on the internet.
So you know about our rules?
Yes.
Everyone we met today thinks
that we'll fail
because...
It's not like these apartments
have doorplates with their names on them.
It'll be difficult to find
where Korean people live.
Because there are hardly any houses here...
There are some near the consulate
near Yamate.
But people over there...
Are rich people.
Some of them won't like being on TV.
I see...
Is there something that we can look for
in front of their house
as a hint?
If that house has a doorplate...
Korean immigrants have
symmetrical names.
For example, Nakayama.
These Chinese characters are symmetrical.
(Okay...)
Takayama.
Kaneda.
Most of their names are like that.
(Immigrants use symmetric)
(Chinese characters.)
I have no idea what you're talking about...
(Kyung-kyu's confused too.)
Could you explain it to us
by writing it down?
I can't say that it's 100% accurate.
This is Kim.
If you add a character for field,
this becomes Kaneda.
If you split this in half...
They're symmetrical.
So is this.
A lot of Korean immigrants
have names like this.
There are a lot of people
whose last name is Kaneda or Kaneko.
Most of them are Korean immigrants.
Did you understand what he said?
About 80% of it...
(Can't use the information)
(if he doesn't understand...)
They don't use Korean names?
If they're naturalized, they don't.
Then there are people
who were born here
but kept their Korean citizenship.
They have special green cards.
(Given to Korean people who lost)
(their Japanese citizenship)
(after the WWII.)
They have Korean last names.
Just like in Korea.
Let's say that there are 10 units
in a mansion...
How many of them are Korean people's house?
Approximately.
In a building where Koreans can live in...
there are a lot.
If there's at least one family there,
a lot of them will be Korean.
Not just Koreans, but other foreigners too.
(Important information.)
How can we tell that a mansion
allows Korean people in?
Go downstairs
and turn right.
If you go down,
the first building to your right
will have a tons of those.
The big building
on this side of the street.
From there, you'll find a lot of
Korean people's houses.
They live in big buildings.
Let's bring it in.
(The realtor joins too.)
Mr. Kim must be so confused right now...
I really hope that you guys can succeed.
This is so random.
Global special in Yokohama.
Let's have Dinner...
Together!
(He's very motivated.)
Thank you.
Thank you!
No, we're thankful.
Things like these really help
the immigrants.
Really?
Even if we don't succeed today...
Our effort alone is a success?
This really motivates us.
I didn't believe it at first either.
Thank you.
You motivated us.
Thank you!
That was a huge help.
(Gained precious information.)
Even if we fail, our attempt alone
is meaningful.
I'm so relieved now.
Realtor Kyu.
He feels so much better
after talking to a realtor.
Finding a house is really hard in Japan.
Why?
They don't rent it out easily.
When you're trying to rent a house,
you have to get interviewed
that's similar to a job interview.
Landlords ask what your job is,
when you come home,
and how big your family is.
Really?
It's especially harder for foreigners.
When I came here to study,
I could get a house for a month...
Paying rent isn't enough?
You need a surety too.
Finding a place to live is really hard.
I'm sure people who live here
had to get sureties too.
It's really complicated.
There's no concept of charter here.
It's all about
monthly rents.
(Entered an area)
(that's concentrated with mansions.)
This must be it.
That guy said Koreans live
towards that way.
(Where the realtor told them to go.)
These too.
(They were able to narrow down)
I'm sure we'll meet some Koreans here.
(their target thanks to the information.)
Hi!
Hello!
(Ran into another Korean.)
Where do you live?
Here.
That one?
Where?
Next to the park.
Do a lot of Koreans live there?
There are a lot near me.
Is that your son?
(Ho-dong tries to have a conversation)
(whenever he meets Korean people.)
You must be 10!
He is!
He has the size of a 10 years old kid.
How long have you been living here for?
About 5 years in Yokohama.
We moved from somewhere else.
How did you settle down here?
My husband.
His work is here?
What does he do?
He's a realtor.
Is that the guy we just met?
Kim Ki...
That's him!
Kim...
Ki-sung?
Yes!
Are you his wife?
You're his son?
You have a daughter too, right?
I do!
Is she's 5 years old?
Yes!
We should've gone to their house!
We don't know yet.
Even though today's Sunday,
he was working.
He wears glasses too!
That's him.
He was handsome too.
He looks like his father!
How crazy.
Kyoto?
We used to live in Kyoto!
You had a grocery store?
Yes.
But his friend talked him into
doing real estates.
We came because we were bankrupt.
This is amazing.
This is too crazy for a coincidence.
What a coincidence.
I can't believe we met his wife too.
Amazing.
What if we rang a random door bell
and Dong-hoon opened the door?
Isn't that possible?
(Then they should go buy lottery tickets.)
Bye Dong-hoon!
(Crazy coincidence in Yokohama.)
Thanks Dong-hoon!
Thank you!
Bye!
This is...
How is this possible?
What a crazy coincidence...
Today seems to be an extraordinary day.
Can they get their hopes up?
Our scouting is done.
(11 hours since they met in Kimpo.)
Then...
Let's concentrate in this area...
Is that Choo Sung-hoon?
(Where?)
He's our staff.
I really thought that was Choo Sung-hoon.
(Sa-rang's father?)
I really thought that was him.
As our guest?
(He's too well dressed for a staff member.)
Are you our staff?
(Lee Woo-jung. Lighting director.)
(Waiting for the sun to set.)
I told you he's our staff!
I really thought it was Choo Sung-hoon.
(Sorry...)
Ho-dong, I wrote this down.
(A notepad?)
(During a break...)
(He called someone.)
Hello?
Mr. Woo!
(Called his friend in Yokohama.)
I'm in Yokohama!
I'm at the Cosmo World.
(He was nervous about)
(ringing people's bells.)
Okay!
I'll send you a text.
(He sought for an emergency help.)
Okay!
That's for ringing doorbells?
(Japanese phrases for ringing doorbells!)
Excuse me!
We're from a Korean TV station.
(Phonetic spelling...)
Can I ask you a question about our show?
about our show?
Can I ask you a question about our show?
What's that?
It says can I ask you a question
regarding today's filming.
Then...
Is this a Korean family's house?
(Full of confidence.)
This is written in honorific.
Let's just read it.
(Still nervous.)
We don't need an elaborate plan today.
Today's Kyung-ky special.
Stop.
Let's rely on your luck today.
Viewers, today's Lee Kyung-ky special!
Tell the viewers to believe in you.
I guarantee...
That...
You'll be able to see how
Korean immigrants are living in Yokohama.
Even if we fail...
I believe that our presence alone
can lift Korean immigrants' spirits.
I needed an excuse in case we fail.
But...
We can't just ring any doorbells.
Exactly.
We need to be respectful.
We need to be careful.
We can't be disrespectful
to Japanese people.
But we'll also try to be
precious memories to our compatriots
Let's Have Dinner Together.
In Yokohama!
Let's go!
(Starts to ring doorbells.)
Let's go this way.
(They take off to ring doorbells!)
I'm nervous.
To meet compatriots in Yokohama...
Kyu-dong went to
Fukutomi-cho,
a street with a lot of Korean restaurants,
to find where Koreans
are densely populated.
Then they learned where they should go
that has a better chance
to find Korean families.
The parameter has narrowed down.
But nothing's in the bag yet.
Only thing that's left,
is to ring doorbells.
There are so many mansions here!
(Kyu-dong came)
(to a densely populated area.)
This place has so many mansions!
Mansions are better.
Big mansions have
their occupants' names at the gate.
(Decided on the first mansion!)
Wait...
The door opened!
Then let's just go in.
It's a mansion.
Do you want to ring the bell...?
(Kyung-kyu tries first.)
Are you doing it now?
Do I have a choice?
I'm going to go for it.
(If you don't ring,)
(what else are you going to do...?)
(Presses the interphone...)
(First bell in Yokohama has rung.)
Don't be nervous.
It's okay.
(Nervous.)
Yes?
Excuse me!
We're from a Korean TV station...
Is it okay if we ask you a question
about our show?
Okay.
Are you Korean?
No, I'm Japanese.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
(What's going on?)
She said she's Japanese.
(His Japanese was good)
(but their first attempt failed...)
That was nerve wrecking!
(They acted calm.)
(But they were totally nervous...)
I'm sweating!
Thank goodness that I have this notepad!
That was so intense!
I was so nervous!
(His Japanese phrases is a huge help.)
When would we ever be able to
listen to your trembling voice?
That was worse than
'so?' from Mangwondong.
They knocked the door
in a foreign country.
But they couldn't even catch a glimpse
of Korean compatriot's front door.
(Immediately found a different mansion.)
(Goes inside to find the interphone.)
(Wait for me.)
(Kyung-kyu randomly picked a unit.)
(A delicate sound of a doorbell...)
Even that doorbell sounds nervous.
Yes.
(They're nervous about everything now...)
Yes?
Excuse me!
We're from a Korean TV station.
Is it okay if we ask you a question
about our show?
Are you Korean?
No.
I see.
Sorry to bother you.
(Failed again because she was Japanese...)
Got it.
I've got the hang of it now.
(Only took two attempts.)
I've got the hang of it.
(But they're quickly walking out...)
Lee Kyung-kyu special in Yokohama.
You're watching Let's Have Dinner Together.
Feel my head.
I'm sweating so much
but you're completely fine!
(Sweats from the burden)
(of carrying the show on his back.)
Let's go over there!
(To a different mansion.)
Excuse me!
(Looks at the mail box.)
Isn't that a Korean last name?
(Korean last names)
(were no where to be found either...)
(They can't even find the interphone.)
Excuse me.
Are there any Koreans in this building?
I'm unable to know if they live here...
Oh, I see.
So, no?
Probably...
I don't live here...
Really?
I'm so sorry...
What did she say?
She said she doesn't live here.
Sorry.
I'm nervous.
Everyone's Japanese.
So nervous.
(Can't shake the nervousness off.)
We need to change our rule.
If someone says hi
to us from the window...
Then we have to go in 100%.
Exactly!
(They're changing the rules...)
Today's episode is a global special!
This looks promising.
I lived in a place like this too.
(Somehow feels like this mansion)
(has a lot of Korean residents.)
A lot of them must've gone out to eat
because today's Sunday.
Try unit 606.
We did 505, so 606 this time
then 707 after.
Try 707.
(Ho-dong's avatar is trying hard.)
Please...
(But...)
Let's move.
(Couldn't even talk this time.)
I can't leave like this.
(Tries to ring again.)
This is such a crap shoot.
Hello?
Excuse me.
We're from a Korean TV station.
Are you Korean?
No...
I see.
Are you Japanese?
Yes.
Sorry to bother you.
Can you ask him if he knows
which apartment has Korean people?
I don't know how to say that...
Let's just stick to our routine.
But you're saying the same thing
over and over.
(Failed again because)
(none of the other mansions answered.)
Their clothes are getting soaked now.
I've never seen you try this hard
in the last 10 years.
(Seriously?)
If you're the one who failed,
I would've said the same thing.
But since I'm doing it...
I can't say anything to you.
That's why I'm getting so angry...
I'm trying so hard to control myself.
I'm reading off a book.
That's so embarrassing.
We have to hurry.
It's already 6:30.
(There's no more time to waste.)
Good luck.
(Can they meet Koreans now?)
Yes?
Excuse me.
We're from a Korean TV station...
Are you Korean?
Sorry.
I see.
Sorry to bother you.
Umm...
(Kyung-kyu's passion was shut down)
(by being hung up.)
Let's try one more.
We still have a chance.
The time's flying by.
(Not giving up for a meal...!)
Yes?
Hi!
Excuse me.
Can I ask some questions about our show?
Are you Korean?
Please give me a minute.
(Please give me a minute.)
She's Korean!
(What's going on?)
(Is she really Korean?)
Are you Korean?
(Did they finally meet a Korean person?)
Are you Korean?
Please give me a minute.
She's Korean!
(What's going on?)
She's Korean!
(Did they finally meet a Korean person?
Are you Korean?
We're not Koreans.
Koreans don't live here!
You're not Korean?
(Disappointed...)
She's not Korean...
Sorry to bother you!
(They thought it was in the bags.)
(Kyung-kyu's losing it.)
(But there were worse times...)
(Last time at Mangwondong.)
Our program is about
having a meal together.
(Refused.)
Our program is about
having a meal together.
I don't want to.
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu, a comedian.
So?
(Things were so bad back then...)
Did you eat yet?
They're struggling in a foreign country
like they have at the beginning.
This is a fighting spirit.
I know.
Let's try harder.
I'm sweating so much.
(50 minutes have passed.)
Should I...
Try it by reading the notepad?
Of course!
Use your low voice.
Excuse me.
We're from a Korean TV station.
(Can't tell if that's Japanese)
(or Pusan's dialect.)
(Kyung-kyu fixes his pronunciation.)
That's the most important one!
(Practicing over and over.)
(Can he get it done?)
Let's go there.
(Ho-dong's first attempt.)
(Very nervous.)
I'll do it.
(Ho-dong wants to do it on his own.)
(Practices again.)
(He made the call!)
I'm so nervous...
(Ho-dong's about to cry...)
Yes?
Excuse me.
We're from a Korean TV station.
I have some questions to ask
about our program.
Is this...
A Korean person's house?
I'm Japanese!
Sorry to bother you!
Sorry.
Bye.
That was a long line...
(Kyung-kyu tries a different house.)
That wasn't that bad!
(Ho-dong's confident after one attempt...)
I was so nervous.
Excuse me.
Are you Korean?
No...
Sorry to bother you but...
Is there a Korean in this building?
I know there's Chinese person.
But no Koreans.
Okay...
Thank you!
There's a Chinese person, but no Korean.
You're incredible!
Did you say that on your own?
Yes.
(Proud.)
Let's go somewhere else.
It'll work out.
Even in Korea...
We got in after 7:40.
Wow...
(Touched.)
You're in such a good shape.
(They're getting even more close.)
(Pressing doorbells in Yokohama.)
The sun sets faster here than Korea.
I know.
This place technically
is an hour and a half ahead.
So it's about 8 right now.
I missed out on flowers today.
I was so lost.
I completely missed out
on Japanese phytoncide.
(Japanese phytoncide, where are you?)
But there's nothing here.
(There isn't a lot of time left!)
(They pick up their pace for a meal.)
Excuse me.
We're from a Korean TV station.
Are you Korean?
I'm not.
(Korean compatriots are elusive.)
Sorry to bother you.
Yes?
Are you Korean?
No...
We're looking for a Korean person.
Sorry to bother you.
What did you say?
That I'm looking for Koreans.
(They're trying almost every single house.)
(Sweating profusely.)
This is tougher than getting a camel
through an eye of the needle.
There are so many mansions here...
(Will they be able to find)
(a Korean family?)
(Still ringing doorbells in Yokohama.)
I want to celebrate our success.
You scared me.
I just want to meet any Koreans.
I don't care if we can
eat or not.
Don't you want to listen to a Korean voice?
Should we try here?
(Hasty steps towards the mansion.)
Let's take our time and not get greedy.
(Calms himself before he rings the bell.)
Relax!
(But no answer makes them)
(even more nervous.)
No one's picking up.
(Tries the 3rd floor.)
(In despair.)
Hello?
We're from a Korean TV station.
Okay.
I have some questions about our show.
Are you Korean?
You can speak in Korean.
You're Korean?
(Korean!)
You're Korean?
Hello?
I'm Lee Kyung-kyu, the comedian!
We came to Yokohama
to meet Korean people
and have dinner together.
I'm with Kang Ho-dong!
I'm Kang Ho-dong, the wrestling champion!
I know who you are.
Can you recognize my voice?
Yes.
Could you invite us in
and...
Eat together.
We can talk or not talk at all.
If you didn't eat yet,
could you invite us in for a meal?
We were here since this morning!
I was making Soojebi.
I love soojebi!
(Excited.)
Why don't we have a conversation?
You can just tell us about your life.
Or we might have to go back to Korea
without eating anything!
We walked around Yokohama for 2 hours!
The only food we have is soojebi.
I love soojebi!
Please be our family and eat with us!
I'll be down there in a second.
(Delighted.)
(There's still hope!)
She's coming down.
This was a miracle.
Miracles do exist!
She said,
you can speak in Korean
right away.
Didn't that feel so good?
I wasn't even using this.
You're seriously...
(Tears up.)
Who cares if we fail?
This was...
I have a new found respect for you.
You're the best.
(Proud.)
Soojebi...
(Soojebi in Japan!)
(Why isn't she down yet?)
(She came down.)
(Nice to meet you.)
How did you find us?
We...
Umm...
Fuku...
Fukutomi-cho.
We...
Walked around here for 2 hours.
You're the first Korean that we found.
Our show is called
Let's Have Dinner Together.
It's a variety show in JTBC.
We walk around with spoons.
We don't even have air conditioning.
It doesn't matter.
We don't even care about food.
We can just eat rice and water.
We can talk about your life
while eating soojebi.
Would you like to be our family today?
Well my son...
Was supposed to come by 7
but he's not here yet.
You could call him...
How old is your son?
25.
Umm...
He's at...
Wait, what was it in Korean...
He's working out.
We can wait until he comes back.
(She's calling his son...)
(Nervous.)
(He's coming home late...)
He's working out?
Yes.
How many people are coming in?
Us two, producer and about 3 camera men.
They won't be eating.
They're veterans from filming in Korea.
They won't get in the way.
Our house is really small...
We won't get in your way.
I studied in Tokyo.
Really?
Then...
Finding Koreans was as hard as
finding a needle in a haystack.
(Can they continue this encounter?)
Then...
Since you came all the way here
and now that I've seen you,
I can't just tell you to leave.
Would you like to be our family today?
Kimchi soojebi.
You're inviting us in?
(Needed to check to see)
(if this is a dream.)
(Come in. Come in.)
(You're the best!)
Shall we?
Minimum number of people.
(Enters Korean immigrant's house.)
Thank you so much.
I can't believe this worked out.
This is a miracle.
How did you ring our doorbell?
(Ko Kyung-duk. 61.)
Today must be my lucky day.
I'm the only one on the 3rd floor.
I know.
There weren't a lot of Koreans.
You said we brought luck...
But you brought us luck too.
Our house is messy right now.
It doesn't matter.
Is that a garden?
(A cute shared garden in the mansion.)
Be careful with fire. Mom.
Korean!
Gas.
Be careful with gas and fire.
So he doesn't forget.
Come in.
This feels like a dream.
After saying sumimasen over and over,
they were able to find
Korean compatriot's house.
Excuse me.
She really was making soojebi.
(Home made dough.)
When were you going to start?
I was aging the dough for 2 hours.
I first spoke in Japanese.
Did you think I was Korean?
You had a Korean accent.
So you said...
You can speak in Korean.
How long have you been living
in Yokohama for?
I've always lived here.
Since you first got here?
(Moved here 27 years ago.)
Where did you live in Korea?
Jayangdong.
Jayangdong in Seoul?
Did you come here to study?
No.
I came because I got married.
I got married here.
Is your husband Korean or Japanese?
An immigrant.
But he passed away 4 years ago...
I live alone with my son.
How long did you live here for?
I used to live here then moved away.
I moved back because
this place is more comfortable.
Why do you live in this area?
It's close to my work.
I don't have to take a cab
at night.
I wanted to reduce travel expenses.
Reducing travel expenses is important.
Japan's infamous for high travel expenses.
Taxis are so expensive.
Where do you work?
I own a small store.
What kind?
Sunakku.
It's where you can drink beer,
eat some food and sing karaoke.
That's correct.
What does your sun do?
He works for...
A shipping company.
Shipping company?
It's a port city.
Are you making soojebi now?
I just need to boil it.
It's almost finished.
It's not an ordinary soojebi either.
It's kimchi soojebi!
Should I go make it now?
I'm hungry.
It's really messy here.
Never expected to find
kimchi soojebi in Japan.
Soojebi is very rare in Japan.
I have a new found respect for you.
(Much respect.)
I think the variety god really does exist.
Because you worked so hard today...
I don't know.
I almost cried.
Seriously, me too.
Thank you so much!
No problem.
If you didn't open the door for us,
we still would've been
walking around Yokohama now.
(Mixed feelings.)
I had no idea that
studying in Japan
become useful one day.
(Good job.)
I put my life on the line.
(Having a dinner with compatriots)
(in a foreign country seemed impossible.)
(Kyung-kyu's defiance and perseverance)
(brought a miracle!)
You made Kyung-kyu a hero today!
It was nothing.
Thank you.
You guys are our first guests.
We're the first guests!
In over 20 years?
I don't normally invite people in.
But...
You guys came from Korea...
Japanese culture doesn't really allow
guests to come in usually.
(Learned something new again.)
Because of honne,
they don't express how they really feel.
They'll never open the door.
Honne.
In the middle of a Japanese society
where no one express their true feelings,
she opened her door for us.
It's a miracle.
Do you need my help?
It's okay.
Would I get in your way?
It's almost done.
And like a miracle,
spicy soojebi is being made.
Is this house a typical house in Japan?
This is the norm.
It has 3 bedrooms.
I know.
When I was studying here,
my house was smaller than this.
Because Korea is close by
and you can visit whenever you want,
does that make you want to visit less.
Yes.
My mom visits once a year.
Your family visits you?
Do you get to watch Korean TV channels?
Sometimes.
I rent DVDs.
DVDs?
Yes.
(Kimchi soojebi is being cooked)
(with a mother's love.)
Allow me to help you a little.
Not a lot of people eat soojebi in Japan.
I see.
My son likes it.
It's special to me.
(Her soul food.)
I can't believe I get to eat
kimchi soojebi
in Yokohama.
Do you eat Korean food often?
Hardly.
Really?
Can I try?
Sunday's a special day...
This is fun.
(Skimming bubbles.)
This will be one of the most
memorable meals in my life.
It's almost finished.
Should we bring it out?
I'll carry it.
Can you bring the pot stand?
I'm eating soojebi in Yokohama...
Our show's been on for almost a year now.
But this is our first soojebi.
Really?
I wish I would've made something
more delicious.
I love soojebi.
This broth...
Why did you make soojebi today?
Because it's hot...
I wanted something spicy.
You know how people...
Say fight fire with fire.
Lee Kyung-kyu special in Yokohama.
This meal...
Not only alleviates Kyung-duk's
homesickness,
it's also a nutritional food
that will revitalize exhausted Kyu-dong
by fighting fire with fire.
Thank you for the food.
I'm tearing up.
Don't cry.
(More moving than any other meals)
(they had on the show.)
Don't cry Kyu-dong.
(This is it.)
Why do I keep thinking about
our opening scene in Kimpo?
(Can't hear anything.)
(Please answer me...)
We just had to do it.
Let's eat.
I don't know if it's good or not...
But it's seasoned well.
It's delicious.
My fatigue is being washed away.
Delicious!
Very delicious.
I bet this is your first time
eating soojebi in Yokohama.
It won't happen again either.
Probably.
This is the first and the last time
eating soojebi in Japan.
(Special menu that could be)
(the first and the last time in Japan.)
One bite of soojebi
gives mixed emotions to Kyung-kyu.
He's moved by a meal
that you can't find anywhere on Earth
but here.
(Chewy.)
Ho-dong missed making conversations today.
He's using his mouth
as much as he can
by chewing soojebi.
(Craving for conversations has relieved.)
(She's also happy to eat)
(with special guests.)
I met a lot of Koreans during the day.
We met the grocery store's owner.
Lee Mart?
Everyone was so energetic!
I'm their regular.
My store is right in front of that store.
Really?
His wife seemed very positive.
Everyone's so energetic.
They're so happy.
Do you eat breakfasts with your son?
We don't eat breakfasts.
He leaves early in the day...
He leaves early
and she comes home late after work.
So we try to at least eat dinner together.
(His jaw is getting a work out.)
Between Japanese and Korean,
what do you eat with your son?
Mostly Japanese.
Except soojebi.
What do you normally eat?
When we eat together...
He likes soba.
Japanese soba.
Have some Moe.
Can your son speak Korean?
He understands.
But he can't really express himself.
Well that can be difficult.
Unless you study...
Have some more.
It's okay. I don't eat too much.
I don't eat a lot.
Can I have some more soup?
You must spend a lot of time
by yourself at home.
When your son goes to work...
And you wake up late
after coming home very late from work.
I get lonely...
(That's when loneliness comes.)
I work every night.
So I clean the house
and do the dishes.
Then I go out for a walk
and eat soba, one of my favorite food.
I go to the store to clean sometimes.
Then it's 7 and I have to go to work.
I get happy when I get
a lot of work done.
If you had a time machine and went back
back to when you first moved here...
I'm sure you had a very tough time
stemming from culture difference.
Exactly.
What was the worst?
The hardest thing at first
was the language.
When I couldn't speak Japanese,
I couldn't do anything here.
So I memorized vocabulary everyday.
I memorized...
50 to 100 vocabulary
everyday.
And I wrote down phrases
that I didn't understand.
But every language has its own nuances.
I had to memorize
when and how some phrases were used.
I taught myself.
By yourself?
How long did it take for you to understand?
I started to understand after 3 months.
That's quick.
I had to work that hard...
Talking to my customers was a must.
If I wasn't able to have a conversation...
(She desperately studied to survive.)
My business would've failed.
How about anything other than a language?
Hospitals.
Because it's too expensive?
Not only that...
But doctors have their own jargon.
But when I didn't understand that...
Even if I was taking prescribed medicine,
I questioned if this was right for me.
When you go to hospitals in Korea
and a doctor ask you
why you're here,
you can get your point across
without having to describe everything.
But if a doctor ask you why you're here
in Japan...
It's hard to explain it
so you get scared
if you got the right medication.
That was very inconvenient.
It's gotten better now.
Doctors don't give shots that often.
They hardly do.
Hardly?
And they always give prescriptions
for 14 days.
1 week for cold medicines.
If you need to take more,
you have to go to the hospital again.
If you say, shots, shots shots
at a hospital,
they ask you if you're Korean.
If I say yes, then he'll give me a shot.
Korean people always ask for shots.
But not here.
But the worst part
is when my business isn't doing well.
When I get no customers...
That's the same in both Korea and Japan.
When I have no guests...
I drink at my own business.
(Might as well have fun doing it.)
Since I got no money today anyways,
I just have some drinks and go home.
(Trying to find solace with beer.)
Then I'll come home and...
I couldn't cry because
I didn't want my son to hear it.
So I put a blanket over me...
So I can cry.
And...
Sometimes, I really wanted
to go to the beach
so I can scream at the top of my lungs.
I gained enough money
to last one day at a time.
You know the phrase
living from hand to mouth?
I had to quickly make up my mind
how to allocate money.
Electricity bill with this.
Rent with this.
I always had to be aware
how I was going to pay for everything.
Since rent is really expensive in Japan,
my rent was always the priority.
After you work until late into the night...
Around 2 or 3?
How did you relieve stress?
I...
Go to a sushi restaurant
and order menegi sushi.
I get a glass of beer
and eat two pieces of menegi sushi.
That doesn't require a lot of money.
When I have beer with 2 menegi sushi,
that's when...
I feel like my day is done.
Nothing is easy
when you live in a foreign country.
To survive...
She had to live an intense life
and had to stand firm.
After spending day after day
with her family...
Yokohama...
Became her home.
Are you proud of anything?
Of course I am.
What I'm proud about the most is...
I never asked anyone for money.
I never borrowed money.
I lost a lot of money
by lending it to people.
Even if I lose money...
Even if I buy someone food...
I can't ask for the something.
Kyung-kyu.
You and I also did something right.
That's why we were able to
meet her today.
She gave us a goof fortune.
Aren't I correct?
We're fortunate, aren't we?
Exactly.
She's our lucky charm!
We're in Yokohama...
And we ate kimchi soojebi!
I know...
This kimchi is from Korea.
My mom sent it to me.
Did you always like soojebi?
Yup.
You guys picked a perfect day.
She must only eat it
once or twice a year.
(One more portion because...)
(I don't know when I can eat this again...)
Did you...
Ever realize how different
Koreans and Japanese are?
Personalities.
Japanese people...
Hold everything in.
And Koreans?
They're straightforward.
Korean people are straightforward
even at fights
and get over it quickly.
But Japanese people...
Doesn't look at people's eyes.
Let's say I asked someone,
is that delicious?
They go...
This doesn't mean it's delicious.
This means that the person
doesn't want to upset you
by saying it isn't delicious.
That person can't lie
and say it's delicious when it's not
because that person's scared
of disappointing you.
Is that why they don't make
eye contacts?
You're 10,000% Korean.
You always make eye contact
and yell at people.
(Embarrassed.)
That's not true...
You're definitely not Japanese.
That's why there's this phrase in Japan.
Anone...
It's to buy time.
It's to organize your thoughts.
If you know it so well,
why don't you use it?
You always look at people's eyes
and just start yelling.
That's just who I am.
Even if you know?
I was talking to Ho-dong about this.
Yokohama is always in top 5 cities
that Japanese people want to live in.
(That's right.)
A lot of people want to live here.
We have oceans.
Our water is clean.
We can even drink the tap water.
This place must be pollution free.
We have the Landmark Tower.
(A highrise building that's 296m tall.)
Things are cheaper in Yokohama too.
So your mom's in Korea.
Yes.
She came in May.
Is your mom the only one...
My mom's there...
And our house has 5 daughters.
That's a lot of girls.
I'm the second oldest one.
Then your sisters are in Korea?
Yes.
You have to send your mom
a message later.
So think about what you're going to say.
She'll be so surprised.
You can look at that camera
then your mom will be able to see you.
Mom.
I know you came last month.
But I still miss you.
I know you send me kimchi every year...
But you don't have to send a lot this year.
Just a little bit is enough.
Because...
Koreans have kimchi refrigerator
so it lasts for a long time.
But we don't have one here.
So it's hard to store them.
if you want to send some to me...
Just send me enough so I can taste them.
Enough for me to eat.
I'm doing fine with Hide.
So please take care of yourself too.
Don't get sick in this heat.
I'll call you soon again.
Thank you.
Thank you for being my mother.
Are you going to Lee Mart tomorrow?
I go everyday!
If you go there...
Tell them we had dinner today.
Was it 50%
He thought we'll only have 20% chance
to succeed.
The BBQ restaurant said we'll 100% fail.
They said we'll never get a meal.
But you can tell them that we did.
They'll be so shocked.
For Koreans who live here,
what are they worried about the most
and what do they want the most?
Surviving everyday.
It's the same everywhere.
If you own a business,
you'd want it to get better.
And...
If you have kids,
you'd want them to be healthy.
Just like anywhere else.
Today was the day of Lee Kyung-kyu.
We can even add my aura in there
to wish Koreans good luck.
Together.
Just like that?
So they can be strong!
(Motivated by himself.)
Everyone in Yokohama will be watching!
Say something!
Do it.
Wish them good luck.
This is so random.
Compatriots!
Be strong!
Good luck!
That sounded like Kim Bo-sung.
Be loyal!
That was nice.
Stay strong.
(Proud.)
Wishing that Kyung-kyu's encouragement
reaches everyone across the globe...
(Prepared a small gift.)
I'm even getting a gift?
Thank you.
Why don't you open it?
I'm very lucky today too.
Purple is my favorite color.
Really?
I love this color.
Let's Have Dinner Together
is the title of our show.
Food documentary.
Of course.
(Surprised.)
(What surprised her?)
(A set of spoons!)
Look what I got!
(She's really happy with the gift.)
How did we know that
this house only has 2 people?
That's enough for you and your son.
They mostly come in a set of two.
Really?
(Failed trying to add meaning to it.)
My son really likes Korean spoons.
This is Korean.
I'm so happy.
Really?
We...
Only have one Korean spoon.
Really?
The rest are wooden.
I'll use this everyday...
And think about you guys.
Please do.
(Photo time.)
The person we met in Yokohama today
was full of love.
A meal #61 was born
in a city of Yokohama
in an unfamiliar country of Japan.
(Warm meal far away from home.)
(Ho-dong volunteers to do the dishes.)
(He's gotten better.)
(Expertly finishes the dishes.)
(Mochi as a dessert.)
You touched it, you eat it.
(Feeling hospitality even towards the end.)
We're in Yokohama...
What a miracle.
(Happy.)
She let us know that
miracles do exist.
Thank you.
Please be well.
Can I give you a hug?
I wish you luck.
(A hug can say thousand words.)
Thank you.
When Japanese people leave,
they say bye about 10 times.
(Kyu-dong goes for 10 times too.)
They bow every time
they make an eye contact.
Thank you.
Bye!
She walked far to see her guests out.
We met here two hours ago.
Today was a very meaningful day.
Thank you for the warm soojebi.
Thank you.
Thanks.
(She's still seeing them off.)
Have a wonderful day!
Bye.
Be careful!
Thank you!
Don't yell at me.
(A surprise kiss.)
Lee Kyung-kyu!
(Stop.)
(Ecstatic about succeeding)
(what seemed like an impossible task.)
You're God Kyung-kyu today!
One, two...
Kimchi soojebi was very warm...
Even the unfamiliar night in Yokohama
feels warm now.
Would you like to share a meal
with guests
from a far away country?
The 2nd episode of the global special!
In Japanese, Shinjuku...
Is my nawabari.
(Means turf.)
Okay everybody.
Have a meal with a Korean family
in Shinjuku.
Not calling the guests again is...
This is an abuse.
This is cruel.
(First show that the guests)
take care of the MCs.)
(Finally guests!)
Hong-gi!
Hi!
We need to test your Japanese skills.
I'm 2NE1's vocal, Dara!
Are there a lot of Korean people?
(As goo as a native speaker.)
(Trustworthy.)
That's Korean chips.
He's a police.
Korean!
That's 100%.
You should've come yesterday!
(The guests give them confidence!)
They're really popular.
I'm sure they'll follow us around.
Keun Chan!
I'm not him...
She thought I was Jang Keun-suk.
I am the best.
She's the best but no one knows her...
I'm Big Bang's little sister!
(No one knows who they are...)
I had no choice!
Can they be successful in Shinjuku too?
(Gets scared by the doorbell.)
Why is this so scary?
This is crazy!
(Biggest cowards.)
(And no one's home.)
I'm Japanese.
(Only Japanese people answers.)
(Finding Koreans is difficult.)
Eating a meal is so hard.
We're from a Korean TV station.
I'm Korean!
(Success?)
