The shoot is starting.
Let's go.
- Aren't you going to say your line? - No, it's a secret.
How is it a secret?
Hello, viewers.
Weekly Idol!
It's 2018, the year of the dog.
So it's the year of the dog celebrity special part 2.
We had a dog special last time.
We had a bunch of dogs in our basement studio.
People really liked that episode.
That's why we have two amazing year of the dog vocalists.
Dog singers for short.
We'll start by shouting this first. Idol of the week!
He's back on our show after 4 years.
As I recall, he said he'd never be on our show again.
He was relieved to be done with our show.
I guess he started missing us.
This basement studio has its mysterious charm.
Right. Like those low-budget shows
- that are still entertaining. - Yes.
A shabby looking restaurant could actually serve great food.
Like an eatery in an alley that looks like a basement restaurant.
He's back after 4 years! An amazing vocalist born in the year of the dog.
Wheesung!
- Hello. - You're dressed in cool colors.
I picked it out myself.
(They speak in their pig language)
(He didn't understand)
(Then he remembers)
- I forgot. - You did this.
Hello, everyone. It's been 4 years.
Since this is the year of the dog,
I'm working hard like a dog.
Looks like a dog.
I hear you're independent now.
- You're a one-man agency? - Yes, that's right.
I have a one-man channel. Defconn TV.
He's a one-man agency. Wheesung.
Wheesung, you're on our show after 4 years.
You really struggled over those years.
You were sucked dry.
That's right. I passed out as soon as I got home.
(We'll replay this for those that missed it)
(He had such a rough time on his first appearance)
(He never talked back to the hosts)
(The hosts walked all over him)
You shouldn't smile.
It's a sad song. You shouldn't smile.
You're asking someone if you can be together.
So why are you back on our show?
- Things haven't been working out. - Like what?
- You feel nervous? - As a one-man agency?
These days I worry how I'll make a living in the future.
For you to say that...
You shouldn't say things like that.
The name Wheesung just doesn't...
- Carry the same impact anymore. - What are you saying?
Wasn't your last album successful? Is it "Amor"?
See? You don't even know what it's called.
Ama... "Aroma!"
Yes, "Aroma."
"Aroma" fell off the charts 2 days after its release.
We can't even get our songs on the charts.
We put out "Wild Rabbit" and it became a turtle.
But you guys are in many lines of work.
Wheesung, you're all about music.
That's why...
Wheesung... Poor Wheesung...
Wheesung is really...
I'm really struggling.
I'm the only employee.
I have to do all the administrative duties.
- That's tough. - At the office...
- You do the tax invoice? - Yes, I do that.
With the VAT too?
I calculate the withholding tax myself.
When my manager has other duties,
I have to clean my own office. It's really tough.
But the good thing is, if you put out a hit, all that money goes to you.
That's what I'm betting on, which is why I'm working so hard.
You picked out your own outfit?
I got this from D-D-Dongdaemun...
Not just Dongdaemun. D-D-Dongdaemun.
He's desperate.
Actors where hot shoes these days.
I wiped these down with a cleansing tissue.
- They're your shoes? - Yes, they're mine.
That entire outfit is yours, right?
This is all mine.
This is what's good about a one-man agency.
He can be on TV in his normal clothes.
(This CEO loved hearing that)
Since this is the year of the dog, do you have a changed attitude?
If you search Wheesung on social media...
You search for yourself a lot?
All the time.
Since he's a one-man agency.
If you do a search for Wheesung, the most popular results
are photos comparing me to yawning dogs.
These days people post photos of their pet dog yawning
and tag me in those photos.
When they tag you, at least you climb higher in the search engines.
You should leave comments on those photos.
I met up with Cho Saeho recently and begged him.
If I can be on any show with him.
- People have to be hungry. - Yes.
The desperation of a one-man agency.
A one-man agency has to be modest.
I don't have any pride.
Of course. You have to survive first.
Since it's the year of the dog, we have another great vocalist
that's as good as Wheesung.
It's his first time on our show.
Right.
He's finally here. Let's bring him in.
Hwanhee!
(He seems so awkward since it's his first time)
(They speak their pig language)
(He doesn't know what to do)
Greet the viewers.
(He's like how Wheesung was 4 years ago)
Thank you.
Since he has experience.
It's my first time on Weekly Idol.
Hello, I'm Hwanhee.
Hwanhee!
With you two on the show, it feels like "Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook."
"A Poor Man's Sketchbook."
According to our staff members,
you were really flustered when you got the casting call from our show.
It's called Weekly Idol, but I'm not an idol.
Don't be ridiculous! You're an idol forever.
Look here. If Brian was here too...
"What is this?"
- Right. I came alone... - What's Brian up to?
Brian is probably working out
or doing flower arrangement.
Hwanhee, are you also a one-man agency?
I've been running an agency for a while.
He's still a new company, and you have experience.
I go to the same salon as Wheesung.
I thought he'd bring a stylist.
He was fixing his pants and he asked the hair dresser...
"Does it look better with my pants rolled up?"
He's still a newbie.
He should've at least worn a coat.
One seems rich and one seems poor.
It really stands out. I have a coat like this too.
Is this cashmere wool?
This...
Actually isn't my coat.
- It's sponsored? - Yes.
These are my clothes.
This outfit is probably better for today.
Wheesung, if you want sponsored clothes,
there are a lot of companies nearby that'll do that for you.
You have to shop around with a bag.
Our stylist is going to make the rounds after today's shoot.
Oh, really?
You can go together.
You can go with her. "Hello, can I get some clothes please?"
It's good to have at least one sponsor.
I'm sending out a lot of direct messages on social media.
He's working very hard.
Are you two close or do you address each other formally?
We're very close.
We were in the same school as high school seniors.
Oh, you went to the same school?
I bet you two were like the kings of your school.
Who else was popular then?
- Park Hyoshin was in my class. - Yeah! Park Hyoshin.
Hwanhee was in the next class.
Park Hyoshin, Wheesung and Hwanhee were in the same grade?
- Yes. - Jesus christ...
Park Hyoshin was also preparing to be a singer then?
He probably also debuted in 1999.
We just need Park Hyoshin on our show.
It would've been nice if he came. All year of the dog from the same school.
We're the year of the rooster.
(A shocking confession)
That's why I hesitated to be on this show.
Our group of friends are year of the rooster since we all started school early.
You're born in 1983?
We were born in 1982
but our friends are year of the rooster born in 1981.
We were always referred to as year of the rooster friends.
You're usually grouped with roosters...
So being on this special can make things a bit tricky.
We're friends with K.will and Kim Taewoo.
They were born in 1981.
Anyway, you hung out with roosters and lived like dogs.
(Respect)
You hung out with roosters...
And became dogs.
You worked like dogs.
So you're born in the year of the dog. It's not that important.
Just need a good attitude.
Just don't act too cocky or arrogant.
His age difference with Brian is pretty funny.
How so?
Brian has an early 1981 birthday.
He's friends with people born in 1980.
Hwanhee, how do you address Brian?
Casually.
For us...
How did it end up like that?
He was cast from the U.S. and I was cast from Korea.
When we first met, we were told we're the same age.
So I started addressing him casually.
But I found out later on that
Brian was born in January 1981 making him older.
I said I wanted to keep addressing him casually
so that's what we did.
Wheesung, how do you address Brian?
I address him casually since he does too.
(This isn't fair for Brian)
- If you make yourself older... - It's a pain.
Eventually, you'll start addressing us casually.
It's not like that.
Who are some of Brian's friends?
- Brian's friends... - Son Hoyoung.
Brian addresses Hoyoung casually.
Right, they're the same age.
But I address him as older.
Yet you address Brian casually. You call him Bri.
"Yo, Bri. Tell that to Hoyoung."
I imagine that feels really weird for Brian to hear.
That's happened to me before too. I also have an early birthday.
I was born in 1978.
So I told everyone I was born in 1977.
Eun Jiwon of Sechs Kies addresses me as older.
He was born in 1978.
Tony An was born in June and he's from the U.S.
So we address each other casually.
But with Moon Heejun, we address each other formally.
- Wasn't he born in 1978? - March 1978.
But since my birthday is by the lunar calendar,
Heejun was actually born before me.
That's so complicated!
Everyone's born in 1978,
yet different people are addressed as older, addressed casually or formally.
Just keep things simple.
Celebrities, just stay at home after work. Don't go out.
If you stay at home, you'll never get in these disputes over age.
Just meet online. Everyone addresses each other casually.
You can address everyone casually.
This show is so free-spirited.
Since this is the year of the dog,
we brought 2 amazing year of the dog born vocalists.
And we just have to hear your songs.
Since you guys are amazing vocalists, you both have a lot of amazing hits.
And you're friends.
I want each of you to take turns
singing your hit songs.
We'll start with Wheesung first. One song at a time.
("Can't We" by Wheesung)
(He loves it)
(He brings out the emotions)
(He sounds great)
(And Hyungdon ruins it)
(This happened to him last time, so he's more composed)
He's like a drunk old man.
(Disharmony)
I sang that song all the time.
(The classic hit has him pumped up)
- I sang that song all the time. - It played during blues time.
That was so funny.
You were like a drunk guy that suddenly butts in.
(You're going to experience this soon too...)
(This pig always ruins ballads)
That's what it should be like.
Let's hear Hwanhee now.
This is our debut track. "Day By Day."
("Day By Day" by Fly to the Sky)
(The first line just warms you up)
(Getting ready)
(Hwanhee is about to lose it)
I added harmony. 3 keys.
I'll stop there.
You have to do the shouting parts.
He'll get to that. He has a lot of hits.
- I sang this song as a kid. - He was a kid then.
Now it's Wheesung.
("A Story I Can't Tell" by Wheesung)
(Hyungdon keeps coming in faster)
(Getting into it, cracking up)
This is so funny...
(This is how important experience is)
"A Story I Can't Tell."
It's a great song. Some day...
Hwanhee's turn.
What will it be?
It's winter now...
("Sea of Love" by Fly to the Sky)
(He seems a bit worried)
(We're hearing more of Hyungdon than we're hearing the hits)
I'll stop there.
I know that music video was shot at the beach.
Wheesung.
("With Me" by Wheesung)
"With Me."
(Now Wheesung watches Hyungdon as he sings)
(He draws so much attention)
(Despite Hyungdon's singing, Wheesung keeps at it)
(He just laughs)
The "Yeah!" song.
(They really want to see a song like this)
(He summons his inner Wheesung)
(Thanks again, Cho Saeho)
Hwanhee.
For my next song...
("Missing You" by Fly to the Sky)
(Hyungdon just won't stop)
(Singing with his face, singing with his vocal cords)
(Ends up cracking up)
You're so good at that.
"Missing You."
It's got a vibe to it.
He's got that R&B groove.
I got the chills.
I should've gotten that song.
- Too bad. - "Missing You."
- Wheesung. - We heard "Missing You."
I guess I should sing a popular song.
("Love is Delicious" by Wheesung)
(Joins in right away)
(Dancing)
(He loves it)
(So sweet)
- "Love is Delicious." - Yes.
Belt one out, Hwanhee.
What's a good song for that?
"Even Though My Heart Hurts."
(He loves that song)
(Laughing)
Sing "Even Though My Heart Hurts."
("Even Though My Heart Hurts" by Hwanhee)
Hold on. Did you lower the key?
No, I went higher.
That's not the original key, right?
That sounded like D minor.
He's like a genius.
Sing the high part of "Even Though My Heart Hurts."
♪ Even though my heart hurts ♪
♪ I still smile ♪
(He's a big fan of Hyungdon's singing)
That sounds like a different song.
(He still belts the notes out amidst all this silliness)
(He refrains from joining in)
(The song sounds perfect without Hyungdon joining in)
(Shows off some of his skills at the end)
Festering. Sing that part again.
♪ My heart is festering ♪
You pronounced that weird.
Oh, it's a bit...
You didn't pronounce that right.
The pronunciation is a bit garbled there.
It's what happens if you practice singing pop songs a lot.
You annunciate those hard L's.
Wheesung, you still have many hits left.
Should I keep it brief?
You did "Love is Delicious."
("I Even Thought of Marriage" by Wheesung)
(They both do Cho Saeho's impression)
(Wheesung will forever be associated with Cho Saeho)
I was shocked.
- That's a legendary meme. - It is.
We could do our entire show just listening to them sing.
But we have a lot of things prepared to do with you guys.
Are we really doing this?
It's a signature segment.
We'll do the Random Play Dance.
You guys might think you don't have songs to dance to.
But K.will, Huh Gak and Wheesung have done this segment.
It was so chaotic.
We can always find songs to dance to.
We'll pick the best out of the top vocalists.
Wheesung and Hwanhee, you'll each pick a prize to play for.
For each other?
(Disbelief)
We'll buy it for each other?
A gift for your friend to encourage him this year.
Let's hear a gift you want from your friend.
You can just win.
- I need a belt. - A belt?
I bought this belt 10 years ago.
Alright...
- A belt. - I need a belt.
I want an expensive one.
Since Wheesung just started his one-man agency...
And since I want him to save a lot, I'll keep my prize moderate.
Some socks.
Some thick socks. By a designer brand.
- You want socks? - Yeah, I want socks.
Now I seem like a scumbag.
Yeah, Wheesung's gift is...
You can buy the belt in Dongdaemun.
(They're finished negotiating)
The Random Play Dance. When your song plays...
- Our songs? - Of course.
All the songs I just sang were ballads.
You have gestures and dance moves.
Every song doesn't use the same gestures.
You're singers.
You did different gestures appropriate to the songs.
So we want to see that
during the Random Play Dance.
Cue the music!
("With Me" by Wheesung)
(Flinches)
I thought it was my song.
(He's really nervous...)
(Wheesung seems relaxed as he starts dancing)
(The gestures really make this a performance)
(Nervous and trembling)
("Love is Delicious" by Wheesung)
You have a lot of dance moves.
This song does have a dance.
(He seems relaxed)
(Distracted)
("Even Though My Heart Hurts" by Hwanhee)
Dang it...
You startled me.
(A warning for Hwanhee)
- You shouldn't cuss. - Alright.
It came on so suddenly...
(Flustered by the sudden song change)
- That was too... - This is the Random Play Dance.
It's 1:0.
- No way! - You got too worked up.
You've basically won that belt now.
Here we go. Cue the music.
("Day By Day" by Fly to the Sky)
[Kocowa Ver] E339 Weekly Idol (Hwanhee, Wheesung) -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Gestures that weren't used in the original song)
(He adds dance moves to a ballad like Wheesung did)
("Insomnia" by Wheesung)
(Reacts immediately)
(A proper song to dance to)
(When Wheesung was a dancing singer)
Wheesung has a lot of dances.
- He said he didn't have any. - You have a lot of dances.
He's almost like EXO.
(Hwanhee, you shouldn't be too focused on his dancing)
("Missing You" by Fly to the Sky)
(Gets right into it)
This has a dance too.
(The moves got so much flashier)
Pulling his coat back.
(Getting into it)
("Love is Delicious" by Wheesung)
He has a lot of dances!
All his songs have dances to them.
I did the choreography.
Yeah, he did that.
("Even Though My Heart Hurts" by Hwanhee)
(Quickly gets into character)
(He thinks of what to do)
(Casually stuffs his hand in his pocket)
You're out!
You never put your hand in your pocket.
- And for this part... - You didn't do that.
And you did this with your coat, which you never did.
I have to do the exact same moves?
(During "Missing You")
(Pulls back his coat)
(During "Even Though My Heart Hurts")
(Hand in pocket)
(He did different moves for different songs so he did nothing wrong)
You can't keep messing up on the choreography.
You never did that.
You were like ♪ Even though my heart hurts ♪ and you did this.
That coat flick made it look like "The Matrix."
You never did this...
- Did Wheesung do the same moves? - His were the same.
And I'm curious.
You're going to keep your pockets like this? With the flaps like that...
I'll take them out!
(Rushes)
Because your coat is part of the choreography.
Yes, I got it. You guys are very thorough.
Once we caught Wheesung
doing one of his moves wrong.
I was really embarrassed last time when they caught that.
Just for that... Putting my hand in my pocket...
We catch everything.
It's 2:0 now.
If Wheesung wins one more time, he gets the belt.
You keep playing ballads for me...
Here we go. Cue the music!
("Can't We" by Wheesung)
I think it'll be me.
(Such a flashy ballad singer)
So thorough!
He's like a machine.
A dancing machine.
(So laid back)
That's it!
("Like a Man" by Fly to the Sky)
(What do I do with my coat?)
(Pushes it back like last time)
- Your coat... - You're out.
Why? Why? Why?
That move is for "Even Though My Heart Hurts."
This is a different song.
And as I recall, this song was released during the summer...
Please let it slide just once. Just once.
What song was that just now again?
"Like a Man."
It's a different song yet you did the same move.
You can't flick your coat back.
- Flick it back... - You can't do that.
You're using your coat in every song.
Alright.
- Wheesung won 3:0. - I won?
(Is it over?)
(Standing silently)
That was one-sided.
I guess you don't have many dances to your songs.
I just understood this. For "Even Though My Heart Hurts"
you wanted me to do the same dance move.
I just got that.
You have to keep doing the same dance for that song once you've done it.
You guys are so thorough.
Wheesung, looks like you win a belt. Congratulations.
We'd like a photo once you get it.
Sure.
We're with Wheesung and Hwanhee.
Our link is our profile!
For Wheesung and Hwanhee...
We don't need to do a rewritten profile.
So many people know who they are already.
So this time we'll look into
how you two are connected.
Wheesung, we have unfortunate news for you first.
What is it? Why?
I thought my stylist would return the clothes after the shoot.
But she left during the shoot.
So you'll have to go to those sponsored boutiques yourself.
I'll consider it a business trip and go myself.
I do owe him a belt.
So he can go with my stylist when she makes her rounds.
We're sorry. It's unfortunate news.
You'll regret it if you miss out. All the clothes shops are here.
Let's look at how Wheesung and Hwanhee are tied together.
Wheesung's nickname is Realslow.
Hwanheee's real name is Hwang Yunseok.
Lee Sooman named him Hwanhee
so that he'd give people joy on stage.
How did it feel when you got the name Hwanhee?
I didn't like it that much. I didn't know it had such a deep meaning behind it.
I thought it sounded like a girl's name.
I'm not the girly one. That's Brian.
But now you're used to the name?
Back then, I didn't hear it when Brian called me Hwanhee.
I'm a comedian so I'm curious.
Singers always leave our their surname. Well, most of them.
Why not Choiwhee?
- Choiwhee... - Or Choisung.
Choisung or Choiwhee.
When I debuted... I couldn't show my face...
- Back then... - Or else they couldn't promote me.
They wanted me to be a faceless singer.
Hold on... Your friend is talking...
(Hwanhee does something unexpected)
I'm sorry.
We're trying to film your friend...
I said this was too low and I wanted it higher.
Then do it when you're talking?
It's too high.
Are you saying you're above him?
That you're above Wheesung?
- Is it because his agency is still new? - No! It's not like that.
I wanted to raise it quietly, but it went too high.
How does it feel to see the top of his head?
He sure works hard.
So we were trying to figure out the name I'd go by.
They said Choi Wheesung is hard to pronounce.
So they got rid of the surname and told me I'd go by Wheesung.
I see.
Next are talents. For Wheesung...
He can do Cho Saeho's impression of him.
We've seen this too many times.
It's played out.
Did you come up with anything new?
Since you're a one-man agency, you should know this stuff.
If you're a one-man agency and you're not a TV personality
you have to prepare a lot.
Should I do Cho Saeho's impression? Or K.will's?
No, no. We'll just use the archived footage.
You're in trouble now.
Should we see what Hwanhee wrote?
I have a lot of talents?
He can do Lee Jungjae in "Assassination" and Lee Sooman.
Lee Jungjae in "Assassination."
Lee Jungjae in "Assassination" is a new one.
We've seen a lot of people do this but we've never seen Hwanhee do it.
That impression Kwon Hyuksoo does?
"Inside my body..." That one?
(Inside my body)
- You can do it. - "Assassination."
(Wheesung's new talent)
Kwon Hyuksoo's "Assassination."
(He suddenly feels nervous)
Kwon Hyuksoo and Lee Jungjae's versions should be different.
Lee Jungjae in "Assassination."
Mine isn't long. I keep it short.
Since he has a deep voice...
Do you see my left shoulder?
(He's wary of Hyungdon)
(He teases Hwanhee)
(The talent has been transferred)
(He laughs and claps even after losing it)
We'll say that's Wheesung's talent. How does it go again?
- Do you see my left shoulder? - It's exactly the same.
- I sounded closer. - No, he was the same.
Inside my body...
Kim Gu will kill me?
(This really isn't Hwanhee's day)
Do you see my left shoulder?
Can you do Lee Jungjae in "New World?"
(A different version of Lee Jungjae?)
I think you might sound like him for "New World."
- "New World." - I need to practice.
"New World" has a lot of great lines.
Sure. "Please stop this."
Jonggu, that wasn't funny at all!
(Geez...)
(Having so much fun)
The Lee Jungjae impression is Wheesung's talent.
Let's hear the Lee Sooman impression.
But this is from so long ago, that I don't really remember...
So he has no talents...
(Wheesung can do impressions and Hwanhee can't)
Variety shows are hard.
The one-man company is in trouble. Here are your song choices.
Bolbbalgan4's "Galaxy."
G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker."
You made news when you sang these songs on TV.
Wheesung, you sang "Galaxy?"
It was on "Duet Song Festival."
How about G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker?"
I sang that on "King of Masked Singer."
In your version.
(Defconn does an impression)
(It sounds like cows mooing)
I didn't make it sound that silly.
Wheesung, were you ever on "King of Masked Singer?"
- No. - You should.
- I'm not confident enough. - Why?
I can never perform at full capacity when I'm on TV. For real.
No matter how much I practice,
I never sound as good as I do when I practice.
But you wear a mask for "King of Masked Singer."
Even if you mess up the song, you can pretend you aren't Wheesung.
They get unmasked.
Weren't you on the panel once?
I don't watch it.
"2 Days and 1 Night" is on during that time slot.
Oh, I see.
You're right.
(Defconn is loyal to his shows)
I want to be on the show...
There are a lot of shows I'd like to do if I could break this curse.
Let's hear you sing these songs.
We should listen.
Starting with "Galaxy."
(A live performance in the basement studio)
(Coffee with a spoonful of sweetness)
(And a spoonful of soul)
(It sounds so different)
(Wheesung's version of "Galaxy")
- It sounds like your song. - Yeah?
You sang it very well just now.
I shrivel up when I get to the high notes.
Some people are perfectionists.
When recording a song, it's okay to sing a bit off key...
I can record every day and still not sing the song right.
Let's hear "Heartbreaker."
For me...
(Hyungdon ruins the mood with his impression again)
I didn't sing it like that!
(Hwanhee's singing will be a treat for the ears)
(So refreshing)
(Powerful soul)
(His voice seems steady)
(A deep voice and refreshing singing)
I tried to make it sound refreshing.
No, not like that...
I was singing my version of it!
Are you the only ones allowed to sing? I like singing too!
It sounded nice.
Don't criticize him. He has a voice too.
I'm a composer too.
Really?
I have 33 songs registered.
Sometimes I listen to your songs while driving.
Such great ideas.
If you want, we sell our songs too.
Alright.
- Who's laughing? - We'll contact you directly.
Let's see what Wheesung's hidden charms are.
He wants to be sexy.
He even had a concert with that theme.
Hwanhee can act cute.
He says he doesn't act cute but he'll do what he's told.
(He knows something bad is coming soon)
(Sigh... Who wrote this?)
What is it? Your fans already know this.
Wheesung wants to be sexy.
So you had a sexy concert?
Yes, called Get Sexy.
Get Sexy.
To become sexy.
Did you have some sexy performances for the fans?
There's a song I made 10 years ago.
It's a follow-up song.
Please find it fast.
- It's called "Show Me Girl." - "Show Me Girl."
Let's see the sexy performance to see how sexy you got.
I need a partner for this song.
Face this way?
(Pop, pop, pop, pop)
(Off to a good start)
(His dance moves are sexy and sensual)
(Dreamlike)
(Bleary eyes)
(I can't Stop It Stop It Stop It Stop It Stop It)
(It's quite thrilling and sexy)
(He's kept this sexiness in him for 10 years)
(Slowly approaching)
(Body wave)
(This is the sexiness he's been saving up)
Very nice.
Nice moves. Right, Hwanhee?
His form was quite racy.
Almost unfair.
He's handsome, he can sing and he can even dance.
Huh? Hwanhee, you were a b-boy?
I was originally a b-boy.
So you both have dancing in common.
In a recent concert you danced to Wanna One's "Pick Me"
and BTS's "Blood Sweat & Tears."
- These days... - For the fans.
- Yes, that's right. - Amazing...
BTS has really hard dances yet you danced to their song.
Their dances are hard. Idols these days have really hard dances.
Yet you pulled it off.
Let's see it!
- "Blood Sweat & Tears?" - Let's see "Pick Me."
I don't have to do much for "Pick Me."
- Then "Blood Sweat & Tears?" - Yes, I'll show you that.
He's really good at doing windmills.
(Are you trying to kill me?)
It's probably hard now.
Can we have you end it with a windmill?
I'll try.
Since it's Hwanhee's first time on the show...
You have to take your mic off.
The mic too...
(Hwanhee's version of "Blood Sweat & Tears")
Here he goes!
(As soon as the song starts)
(The dance come out right away)
(His movements don't seem exaggerated)
(But he nails the main dance)
(He's pretty good)
(Hwanhee's dancing is so good)
(This should impress the fans)
(Look at this guy)
(Here's the windmill)
(This is his restrained dancing)
Hwanhee!
I almost died...
He really does give us joy.
(Really pressured)
"Blood Sweat & Tears!" That was great.
(He seems the most pleased)
Now we'll see Hwanhee act cute.
He says he doesn't act cute yet he'll do what he's told.
We heard that your ultimate cute act is the "Carrot Song."
I had my face covered for "King of Masked Singer."
My mask was Anpanman.
When you wear a mask like that,
you have to act cute.
It was really easy to act cute with my face covered.
That's why we have Yoona's version.
Let's see Yoona from Girls' Generation.
To make things easier for you.
♪ The thing is, I have something to tell you ♪
♪ The thing is, I like you ♪
Oh, no...
♪ This much, this much, this much, this much ♪
♪ That's how much I like you ♪
We never talked about this.
All the top stars sang that song on this show.
- Even Uhm Junghwa. - But I don't know the song.
♪ The thing is ♪
We'll show you the lyrics. You know the melody, right?
No, I don't know it.
♪ The thing is, I have something to tell you ♪
Wheesung, do you know this song?
The melody sounds familiar.
Then we'll show you the lyrics.
So Wheesung will sing and I'll act cute?
- Yes. - Oh... That's no problem...
How should I pose?
(They all start singing together)
♪ This much, this much, this much, this much ♪
♪ That's how much I like you ♪
It's very easy.
- I make up the gestures? - Do what you want.
Look into the camera.
Here we go.
I guess I should try to sound cute.
Please do.
5, 6, 7, 8.
(Here comes the sweet cuteness song)
(Hwanhee seems so out of it)
Hold it, hold it.
(His cute act has no soul)
You can't be so out of it.
I tried to make it really cute.
Doing this...
You seemed unsure of yourself as you were doing it.
- Alright. - I'll sing it with more energy.
The song sounded so cute.
- He's trying to sound cute now? - Yes.
Let me listen to the song. I didn't hear Wheesung sound cute.
5, 6, 7, 8!
(Tries to make cute faces, tries to sing it cute)
(He's making more faces now)
(Hwanhee's doing a great job now)
(He really does do everything he's told)
Hold on. That last part...
(Cuteness machine)
(Shuts down)
Hold on. That last part... I'm sorry but...
I tried to look cute.
You shouldn't look so serious afterwards.
I look like I lost my mind?
It was so scary.
This time we'll have Hwanhee sing...
And Wheesung will act cute.
Look at the lyrics.
Please act cute in a way that fits the song's tone.
I'd like to apologize to all the people in advance.
This is for your fans.
Guys don't want to see other guys act cute.
5, 6, 7, 8!
Wait, hold on.
Since he wants to be sexy, I'll sing it sexy.
- ♪ The thing is, I have something to say ♪ - Nice!
(Time for things to get sexy)
Because you heard the cute version a lot.
I'll do a sexy R&B version.
♪ The thing is ♪
I got the chills!
- Okay, let's go. - I got the chills.
- He can really sing. - 5, 6, 7, 8!
(Sexiness fills the studio)
(Perfect sexy lip-syncing.)
(A sexy robot on the side)
(Sexy synchronization)
♪ This much, oh, this much ♪
(Getting sexier)
(Wheesung ends it by acting cute)
(He's satisfied too)
- Nobody has sung it like this? - Nobody.
They usually sang the cute version.
Singing for each other really worked.
The last battle of the amazing vocalists.
Wheesung vs. Hwanhee. Hwanhee vs. Wheesung.
It's the belly push battle!
I haven't done this before.
This game is a signature game on our show.
Wanna One, Highlight, K.will
and even Yoon Jongshin participated in this game.
Rather than explain it in words, we'll show you a clip.
(Even the oldest guest played this game)
(Yoon Jongshin was pretty good at this game)
Jongshin wins!
Simple, right?
- It's to see who goes farther? - That's right.
- You only get one chance. - Just once chance.
- The winner gets a prize. - A special gift for the winner.
We have amazing vocalists here.
So we have to make you do something.
You guys might think it's a simple game
but you have to use all your muscles.
(These naive guys are tricked again)
Your abs have to support you.
As well as your erector muscles.
It can exercise your core in a very short time.
So don't worry.
- Who wants to go first? - Wheesung.
- I think I'm dreaming. - Why?
You're talking about this game so seriously...
This is a very serious game.
It works out your abs, erector muscles, lower body and your propulsion.
Who is truly the top year of the dog born vocalist?
It's not easy, is it?
That's a full-body work-out.
It's not just a silly game.
Here we go. Get ready, Wheesung.
Ready!
Start!
Hold on...
- This looks really hard. - It isn't easy.
It's hard to get on this thing.
Start.
(Wheesung flies)
Look at him!
Stop!
(He gets a pretty good distance)
(Shaking to move up more)
Just hold still.
From the back wheel.
Please stand up now.
- Not as easy as you thought, right? - It's really hard.
This is a full-body work-out.
My blood is really rushing.
I think I could go farther if I tried it again.
But you only get one chance.
This show isn't that easy.
(Slapstick to get attention)
You guys are going to be amazing this year in 2018.
We hope for the best.
Ready...
(Now it's Hwanhee's turn)
Start.
(Keeps his cheeks puffed)
(Wow!)
(Now it's Hwanhee's turn)
Start.
(Keeps his cheeks puffed)
(Wow!)
Start.
(Rolling in an arc)
(Stops himself in front of the camera)
(Looks like Hwanhee won this)
Amazing!
The winner of this battle of great vocalists is Hwanhee!
They both got really far.
Since Hwanhee won, he gets a gift from us.
An amazing gift.
That was really hard.
(A gift for only the winner)
- Congratulations. - What is it?
- Can I open it? - Of course.
All celebrities need this.
(He starts laughing as soon as he sees it)
This is really cute.
- Can I try it on? - Sure.
It's a gift.
We don't have many left.
Sometimes you see idols photographed at the airport with that on.
I use neck pillows in the car all the time.
Since this is the year of the golden dog...
We had a second dog-related special. Great vocalists born in the year of the dog.
Let's hear from our guests. How was it for you, Wheesung?
I was on this show before.
I remember laughing a lot and having a great time
so I was waiting for today.
As I expected, things were different...
It was different?
I mean, things weren't different. I had a great time.
I got to be on this show with a really close friend of mine,
so I had a great time.
How about you, Hwanhee?
It was my first time on this show.
I had a lot of fun.
And it was really comfortable being with my friend.
I'll put out more great songs this year.
I hope they can give you all moral support this year.
Be healthy, everyone.
This has been Wheesung and Hwanhee!
Thank you!
(You didn't know, did you?)
This really puts a damper on the mood.
(We have to listen to their songs to be satisfied)
This is "The Dawn?"
(The song playing now is Hwanhee's "The Dawn")
Look at their faces...
We don't know the words. I wish they'd play "Even Though My Heart Hurts."
(See you next episode)
Thank you.
("The Dawn" by Hwanhee)
