(The area of the sun and moon where the blue waves sway)
(It's a place where many people gather to see
the sunrise every year on New Year's Day.)
(The center of winter's taste trip)
("Night Goblin's" last trip of 2017)
(They came to Pohang, North Gyeonsang.)
Hello. The weather is great.
"While ending this year, write down the words you want
to say to the goblins in a four character idiom."
Jong-hyun and Hong-gi won't be able to come up with any.
Why do you think I won't be able to?
Write a four character idiom?
- Boss. - What's this?
Don't you think he gained a bit more weight? He became a bit more stout.
He eats breakfast every morning.
(Very serious)
He always becomes sincere whenever he needs to use his brain.
- He wants to show that he's different from us. - He's an expert.
I wrote, "Talent is out."
People who are talented will be recognized even though they don't try to stand out.
It means talent will show itself.
Huh?
Does it mean you will be hurt a lot?
(Jong-hyun wrote something, too.)
For Hong-gi, I wrote, "Bye, boils."
"Bye, boils."
I hope you'll be healthy next year.
There's a 100% chance it will relapse. Dang it.
Hong-gi, there were many things I wanted to say to you.
For some odd reason, I thought about you a lot.
"Hong-gi, salute! Hong-gi, join the army! Hong-gi, visit! Hong-gi, vacation!"
Hong-gi, individual battle!
I thought about you so much!
Personally, I think this is the best keyword of the year.
- "Night Goblin." - I think it was "Night Goblin."
Thank you for allowing us to keep meeting up in 2018.
I hope we can keep going with a lot of energy.
I'd like to say one last message to Soo-geun.
"Don't grow old."
Time is going by way too fast. It's so upsetting.
- I met Soo-geun in his twenties, but he's already in his mid-forties. - I know.
(In 2018, he'll be 44.)
Okay. Then should we hang these up?
I can't let any of them go.
- "Hong-gi, salute! Hong-gi, join the army! Hong-gi, vacation!" - Geez!
"Bye, boils!"
They'll dry well.
Only good things will happen.
We will do our best to stay up nights in 2018, too.
Those are cool words. Let's do our best.
It's my first time here in Pohang.
This is the mother of half-dried herring.
What else is Pohang famous for?
- Squid. - Right. Squid dried in the sea breeze.
Pohang is famous for its semi-dried squid.
- I need to buy some. - They call it "pidaegi."
- I always get angry at you guys. (Pun) - Exactly.
(From semi-dried squid to Michael Jackson)
(A mysterious person approaches the night goblins
who are saying whatever is on their minds.)
(Who do the strange footsteps belong to?)
- Someone is here. - Hello.
Someone is here.
(Surprised)
What's going on? We're meeting up now?
Ki-ha!
(Singer-songwriter Jang Ki-ha)
(He made a hit with "Cheap Coffee" as soon as he debuted.)
(Seo Tae-ji of the indie world)
(The man who is being loved for his unique music...)
(came to Night Goblin!)
(He has a firm outlook of taste.)
(Gourmet Jang Ki-ha)
- Hello. It's been a while. - It's been a really long time.
Hello.
- Are you going to the mart? - What's this?
It's my first time seeing him on a variety show.
I came because I wanted to go to Pohang, and our dates coincidentally matched up.
(He's talking as if he's rapping in his own songs.)
Why on earth...
do we always have such unfamiliar guests?
(Like them...!)
People wouldn't recognize me this year because I didn't do much.
I just stayed home and made music.
Will we ever have bright guests?
("Night Goblin" welcomes all guests!)
- Since you're the guest, come in the center. - Thank you.
Are you related to Pohang in some way?
I actually like looking for delicious places to eat.
I also like to cook.
After all that, I realized the ingredients are key.
If the ingredients aren't good, it doesn't matter how great the recipe is.
I heard Pohang has the best seafood ingredients.
So it's not Yeosu.
- I heard Pohang was the best. - And not Yeosu?
So Wando's seafood isn't great?
I'm sorry.
Every place is great, but I was chosen to come here.
That's great. There will be many things to eat here.
Jang Ki-ha loves to drink, so after eating so
many foods, he realizes fresh ingredients is key.
As long as the ingredients are fresh, you can just dip them in salt or eat them raw.
People who eat well cook well, too.
Pohang is located on the tail of the tiger.
You know how eels' tails are strong. They're good for your body.
We need to get the tiger energy in Pohang.
You know it's the year of the golden dog, right?
- Isn't there anyone born in the year of the dog here? - Me.
Then please bark for us.
- For 2018... - All of a sudden?
(Unanimous voice)
- 2018 is the year of the dog, so we invited a dog star... - "Dog star?"
Let's start with some dog noises.
Not a small dog. A big one.
The viewers need to receive some energy.
Something like this!
- Like this? - Yes, nice and clear.
Show something for the year of the golden dog.
(Embarrassed)
- The embarrassment comes right away. - Our reactions are too honest.
All of you must have heard from the news,
but something terrible happened in Pohang not too long ago.
So many people tend to avoid it.
People who are uncomfortable about coming here can use the parcel service.
That's right.
We're going to do something that has to do with parcel service.
Let's have a warm show. We always fight and call each other trash.
- Let's not do that. - You're the only one who did that.
- You promised, right? This is a promise to the viewers. - Let's go.
(They go to Guryongpo Market in order to find
the first hot place with parcel service.)
- Ki-ha, do you know anything about this place? - I only know of half-dried herring.
(What will the first product that can be delivered with parcel service be?)
Cold raw squid soup?
Cold raw fish soup can't be delivered through parcel service.
(What will it be?/Curious)
(Squid)
(Half-dried herring)
(Salted seafood)
That's a rice stealer right there.
- Stealer? Someone steals rice? - Yes, they keep stealing it.
(They arrive at the hot place with parcel
service that is in the center of the market.)
It's a noodle factory.
- What do they mean by that? - They send just the noodles.
Isn't this the place? It came out on "VJ's on the Scene."
- Are the noodles here famous? - Yes.
- What's famous about it? - The noodles.
- "The noodles?" - The noodles.
- So they don't sell cooked noodles? - It's a factory that makes noodles.
- Are there people who request just noodles through parcel service? - Yes.
It's a noodle factory.
They dry the noodles with just the sea breeze.
From what I heard,
I heard there's a lot of competition to get their noodles.
- To get these noodles? - Yes.
(Pohang's hot place with parcel service: sea breeze noodle factory)
(There are endless orders all over the country.)
If you eat these noodles, then do you get your honor back? (Pun)
Of course!
- Let's go inside. - Give your mom some noodles.
I have to save my mom's honor.
Wow! She's doing it! Look at this!
- Hello! - Hello!
Hello! I'm Lee Soo-geun! Look! They're making it like this!
- I guess they just dry it this way. - It's my first time seeing this.
- Hello! - Hello!
Who created this machine?
- It's been over 50 years since it was made. - This machine?
- How old is this machine? - 50 years. It grew old with me.
It's five years older than Soo-geun is.
So the strength of these noodles will be in the dough.
This machine is incredible.
(She puts flour and salt in the machine and starts to make the dough.)
(She uses the completed dough and pushes them using a roller.)
(She combines two pieces of dough together and makes it even thinner.)
(She puts the thin dough into the machine and get noodles from it.)
Are you drying these in the sea breeze?
(Back there.)
- There's more back there. - Let's go.
- You need to bring them. - Bring them! Be careful!
(Like this?)
- Just three. - Just three!
(Cautious)
- We're trying it out. - We are.
(Wow. It's my first time doing this.)
Wow. It's beautiful.
The smell of flour!
I'm short, so I have to lift it up high, or it will touch the floor.
Look at how they're drying them. This feels like a rubber band factory. Right?
- How does this go up? - Like this.
(You can hang them like this.)
Wow. This is amazing.
How long does it take to completely dry the noodles like this?
When the weather is nice, it takes two days.
We hang them up like this, semi-dry them for one to two hours,
and then put them in the ripening room for 15 hours.
- Then you hang them up again? - We have to hang them up again at early morning.
During the seasons, there's a limit of noodles,
so we do it more.
During the non-busy seasons, we have more noodles, so we do it less.
- Can we just eat this right now? - You can.
- Wow! We can eat uncooked noodles? - Yes.
- It's unbelievable. - The noodles are delicious.
There's a reason why it's so popular.
It's so chewy and so good!
If you use these noodles, you don't have to season them a lot.
It's slightly salty.
They say Pohang is famous for its sea breeze.
Why is Pohang famous for the sea breeze? Other regions have sea breeze, too.
We're surrounded by the ocean on three sides.
Please explain why Pohang's sea breeze is so famous.
Guryongpo is famous for half-dried herring and squid.
Pohang's college of engineering did an investigation.
The best intersection of the land breeze and sea breeze
is in Guryongpo.
So the best breeze comes to Guryongpo.
So that's why it's a special zone for half-dried herring.
You must have many customers who request for parcel service.
In the summer season, there are many requests, but
there are less requests now since it's winter.
- How many boxes are shipped out? - The most is about 30 boxes a day.
- What about in the summer? - Twice the amount.
How much noodles is in one box?
There are about 50 to 100 servings in each box.
If you want a box of ten bundles of noodles,
then you have to order a month ahead.
Even during this season, you need to wait two weeks.
Should I cook some noodles for you?
(We'd love that!)
She's going to make us noodles. Then...
Let's do something special for the viewers since it's the end-of-the-year.
You know the fans of "Night Goblin?"
Let's send noodles to them.
Let's give them some honor. (Pun)
They could get the Pohang noodles dried in the sea breeze and have some for dinner.
But it'd be boring if we just send them.
Let's make one person pay for them.
(They're going to send noodles to the viewers as gifts...?)
(Pohang Parcel Service Fairy Contest I)
(How will they play the contest to be the noodles fairy?)
- Why exactly are we doing this? - Let's play the ladder game.
- Should we send 100 boxes? - Call.
- Jong-hyun, it's 100 boxes. - Fine with me.
We need to buy 100 boxes to send to 100 viewers.
We'll send ten boxes every week.
- We'll pay beforehand. - Then we'll at least be on air for ten weeks!
100 boxes!
I haven't done this in a while! Gosh!
You can't watch this! You had higher-education, so you'll memorize it!
No way. How could I memorize all of that?
You definitely will! You didn't go to Seoul National University for nothing!
- Do it with a black pen. - It gets confusing.
You guys are really sensitive.
Let's play a clean game.
What the heck? How are we supposed to go then?
There's no point drawing a star.
Don't try to understand it! Don't use your brain!
Whatever the higher-education man says is right.
(After much trouble, they finish drawing the ladder.)
(While the staff is making a section for the punishment...)
(the woman is making noodles with devotion.)
I'll start first. I'll go here.
- Number one. - Come on!
- What? - Label yourself as a sewer!
- Why? - Because you play dirty!
(The main MC quickly corrects it.)
Add this back there.
(Ki-ha - Precious Person (Pun))
That was my nickname in 5th grade.
See? I recalled one of his good memories!
- What about Kia Motors? - That was in 3rd grade.
It's not good to be next to Sung-kwang.
(Hong-gi chose the fourth line.)
Number four is an unlucky number.
- I already wrote my name. - Ladder sounds like the number four.
Number four is unlucky.
- Start from number one. - Let's go!
One, two, three, four!
(Sewer Soo-geun leaves first.)
(Get chosen.)
(I'm not number four, so I won't get caught)
(Sewer Soo-geun passes.)
It's Hyeong-don's turn!
(Hyeong-don passes!)
Precious Person.
(Precious Person passes.)
(The last three are nervous: Jong-hyun, Sung-kwang, and Hong-gi.)
- I'm going to do my own! - All right.
- I'm telling you! Number four will be caught! - Oh, please no...
Start.
He's coming down!
He's heading towards the punishment!
At this point, Jong-hyun and Sung-kwang will be...
(Hong-gi is the noodle fairy!)
(Hong-gi is going to buy 100 boxes of noodles for the viewers!)
(100 boxes...)
("The crime of avoiding Sung-kwang... The crime
of choosing number four of the ladder game...")
("I tried to avoid my fate...but I had no choice...")
I told you number four gets chosen in the ladder game!
I told you to stay next to me!
- There's a punishment. - There's a punishment left.
If Jong-hyun doesn't get picked, it's definitely Ki-ha.
You gets set this up, right?
I feel at ease.
(Jong-hyun's ladder is getting further away from the punishment.)
Sung-kwang cleanly gets the punishment!
- Why is it always us two? - You guys set this up, right?
You guys calculated this beforehand, didn't you?
Why do we always get caught?
You guys made the decisions.
Then should we do the punishment first?
(You and I are...)
(Guryongpo is the best place to go into the water.)
It's known for having people go in the water.
As you run towards the sea on the last day of 2017, you'll go, "28!"
"28!"
The year of 28? Wow, when was that?
"2018, come to me!" You can say that as you go into the water.
When Hong-gi did that in Jeju Island, it looked awesome.
Then 2017 will have been the year of Hong-gi and you.
- Have some noodles. - Are they done, ma'am?
- Let's go. - Seriously? Thank you!
(Come here.)
There's a room here? Wow!
It's anchovy noodles!
Thank you!
Look at the kimchi. There's seasoning.
- Do we put this in here? - Yes, it's seasoning.
- Thank you. - Thank you for the food.
Noodles dried in the sea breeze.
- Hold on. - Try it. It's great.
The noodles won't break!
The soup is amazing.
They're noodles that have been dried in the sea breeze.
Wow. It's delicious after eating it in a warm place after being out in the cold.
It's so good!
Please give us more seasoning.
Thank you for the food.
(Life noodles)
- The noodles are very chewy. - They're very delicious.
It's good, right? He's an epicure, you know?
The noodles aren't too chewy,
and when you chew them, they don't cut right away.
There's this delicate texture.
The soup is...
The noodle stripes are strong.
There's definitely no MSG.
- There's no MSG, right? - The flavor is from the anchovy.
But she didn't make it too strong with a lot of anchovies.
I thought it gave a vibe of eating just made white rice with just made kimchi.
It's nothing special, but it's really delicious.
There's no one who would eat this and talk about
how the noodles themselves are fantastic.
- Right. - They just compliment the soup.
But we can tell the noodles are good here.
There's no garnish, and yet, there's nothing lacking.
Right. Nothing is missing.
Ma'am, are there less tourists in Pohang nowadays?
After the earthquake, business has been terrible.
- Nowadays? Do they not come? - It's gotten a little better now.
But why don't you sell cooked noodles?
I'm busy enough making the noodles, so how can I cook them, too?
Ma'am, if you did this for 50 years, how old were you when you started it?
I was 29.
Back then, how did you send the noodles? Nowadays, you do it in boxes.
Through apple boxes.
I could fit 5 bundles in one box.
Back then, didn't people just come to buy it instead of asking for delivery?
Yes. We delivered it as well.
Did you start with noodles first or something else?
I got married when I was 24 years old,
and I sold pottery at first.
But a few stores down, the noodles were being sold very well,
so that's how I started to sell noodles.
You're the only one doing this now?
Yes. My husband quit at the age of 51 because he was ill.
But you must not be able to made a lot of noodles this way.
Yes.
So why do keep insisting doing it this way?
You could make more noodles with a better machine.
My machine is my husband and child.
So you can't throw it away.
Of course not. She raised her children while using that machine for 50 years.
So you can't throw it away.
- Everyone ate it in the blink of an eye. - It's so good.
It's also full of her sincerity.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you for the food.
Let's give a round of applause to Hong-gi!
You'll win the Nobel Peace Prize.
- 100 boxes. - Please calculate it with that.
Thank you, ma'am! Take care! Do this for 50 more years! Okay?
- Thank you! - Happy New Year!
(The night goblins headed to Jukdo Market.)
- This way. - Is it here?
I have led you to the half-herring place.
- I'm looking forward to this. - I'm really anticipating it.
(The origin of Pohang's half-dried herring!/Origin half-dried herring of 30 years)
(Legendary place that sells about 120 sets per day...!)
- I'm really anticipating it. - Look at his expression already.
- He's very worried. - Adult taste.
- This is a taste for adults. - Am I supposed to be relieved?
You can take it to go.
It specializes in that. The residents of Pohang use this place the most.
- I'm nervous. - I think it will be delicious.
Hello, ma'am!
- You truly are Lee Soo-geun! I'm a big fan! - Yes, hello!
- Are you well? - Hello.
We came all the way from Seoul to let people know about half-dried herring.
You're busy today, too.
It's always like this. Even on the weekends. There are
requests for parcel delivery from all over the country.
(At the half-dried herring restaurant...)
(the phone is on fire because of orders.)
Hello?
(They send parcels to 90 places a day.)
(They clean about 1,000 half-dried herrings per day.)
- How many years have you been doing this? - 40 years. We opened in 1974.
Since when did half-dried herring exist?
Before 1974. But we were the first in Pohang to sell it.
- So this is the origin? - Yes.
My mother thought it'd be a good idea to sell it after she saw her father eat it.
- Can we taste some? - Smell it. It doesn't smell fishy.
- It doesn't? - It's savory.
- There really is no fishy taste! - Trust me, Hyeong-don. Eat it in a wrap.
- It doesn't smell a lot. - Oh, it's true. There's no fishy smell.
The properly dried ones have no fishy smell. The wrongly dried ones do.
- If you dry it in the sea breeze, there's no fishy smell. - Right.
Then we'll dry some and send them to someone we know.
- Through parcel service? - Yes, after tasting it.
(The half-dried herring experts are full of excitement.)
- Should I give you some? - Yes, please. You're very lovely.
- I was lovely a long time ago. - You're more lovely now.
- You look the same as you do on TV. - Thank you.
He's very small, isn't he?
- You're gulping. - Because I can taste the chewiness.
You can't eat a lot though because it's oily.
- Is it like dried filefish? - It doesn't even compare to that.
Oh, yes, ma'am. I never tried it before.
Dried filefish is elementary. Half-dried herring is college.
Hyeong-don has the taste of an elementary student.
- I have baby taste. - Right.
- This seems like an adult taste. - I think so, too.
- Ma'am. - Ma'am, where did you get that calendar?
Can we get one, too?
- I got it a long time ago. - His mom tried to take it off, and they got into a fight.
I can't get those kinds of calendars anymore.
That's a nice calendar.
Why is that foreigner so pretty?
(Can't take his eyes off)
- Jong-hyun. - Yes?
Stop looking.
Okay...
(I'm a man, too.../Embarrassed)
- It's coming. - It's coming!
(The half-dried herring and vegetables appear first.)
- Are all of these things included in the delivery? - Yes.
I'm really nervous.
It's here!
(I am the original half-dried herring.)
(Second item for parcel service: Pohang's half-dried herring)
Did you apply something on here? Why is it so shiny?
Oil comes out from the half-dried herring itself.
Mom, give them one more dish.
- May I try one? - Go ahead.
I'll put this on here and eat it right away.
(Savory)
- Even though you just eat it, it's already seasoned. - Of course.
(Shocked)
I'm not lying when I say the half-dried herring
I tried before was nothing compared to this.
Of course.
The more you chew on it, the more savory it gets.
(Compared to the half-dried herring experts who are eating eagerly...)
(the half-dried herring novices are just looking around.)
(Hyeong-don, who has an elementary taste, tries the half-dried herring.)
(Should I try it or not?)
(What does half-dried herring taste to him?)
(Half-dried-herring-holic)
It's different from the ones you eat in Seoul.
- It's not fishy. - It's not.
- It's not, right? - It's not fishy.
It's not fishy, but it's my first time eating it, so I don't know the exact taste.
Because you put a lot of ssamjang on it.
- I put a ton of ssamjang on it. - Just eat it as it is.
(Earlier just now...)
- I put a ton of ssamjang on it. - Just eat it as it is.
- It's not stimulating at all. - Just try this.
I'll eat it as I like! Why are you guys so nosy?
- Try it. - Don't force him.
- It's good. - Thank you, ma'am.
It's good eating it with dried seaweed.
- It tastes like jerky then. - You're right. It does.
It's good. It's good if you eat it with seaweed.
- Let me try it like this. With seaweed. - It's good with seaweed.
You can put several things on the dried seaweed.
(Satisfied)
This is so delicious that I can't talk.
It kind of has the aroma of fish.
My prejudice just disappeared. I thought it'd be very fishy.
- Right. - Hong-gi, do your parents like this?
- Yes. - Then you can send some to them so they can eat them with their friends.
(So we prepared something this time, too!)
(Pohang Parcel Service Fairy Contest II)
Let's call someone we know...
and make them say "half-dried herring." Then you pass.
The winner is the one whose friend says it the fastest.
- The one who says "half-dried" herring first? - Yup.
The one whose friend says it the latest will
pay for all the half-dried herring parcels.
Who wants to go first?
Here I go.
He's very talkative and witty.
Is it Defconn?
- Hello? - Hyuk.
- Jang Hyuk? - Oh Hyuk.
Hyuk, I'm Ki-ha.
- Ki-ha? - Yeah. I'm with Hyeong-don.
You're taking my time!
Hyuk, I'm at Pohang right now.
What should I buy?
Dumplings?
- Pohang dumplings are good. - Pohang dumplings are good.
Isn't there something more special besides dumplings? That's too easy.
Pohang's steel mill?
- You want me to buy Pohang's steel mill? - At this rate, you're out.
Hyuk, don't you like fish?
I like half-dried herring.
It's too late now. Two minutes. That's out.
- You like it? - Yes.
- You're calling overseas? - Yes.
I'm calling the national captain Koo Jae-cheol.
He's in German, so I want to send it to him there.
He's the king of connections.
(Germany appears out of nowhere.)
Then German is...
I just need to talk to him for a bit...
(Out with failure to connect to an overseas call)
Hyuk, I talked to you, but I got first place!
That's a miracle.
(Hong-gi, who has many connections, makes an attempt.)
Who are you calling?
(Korea's infielder Hwang Jae-gyun)
(Excited baseball fan)
- Jae-gyun, where are you? - Bowling.
- Are you bowling? - Yes.
- I'm at Pohang. Should I buy something for you? - Half-dried herring?
Okay, I'll buy it for you!
Are you filming right now?
I don't really know anyone...
- My dad likes half-dried herring. - Call him then.
Ask him if you should send it to him?
- He'll answer, right? - I should call my father, too.
It's not easy for fathers to ignore their sons' calls.
Jong-hyun, you should've given him some pocket money for the end of the year.
- Yang Hyun-jong. - He's not answering.
(Current ranking: 1st Hong-gi, 2nd Hyeong-don, 3rd Soo-geun, Sung-kwang, Jong-hyun)
(Last one is Jang Ki-ha.)
- Juck. - Lee Juck.
Hello?
- Juck. - Hey, Ki-ha.
Hi. I'm at Pohang.
Where? Pohang?
Pohang. There's a food that comes to your mind when you think of Pohang, right?
Half-dried herring?
- Half-dried herring? - Thanks, Juck.
(Hangs up)
Then what will he think of me?
- You were too obvious. - You were too obvious. You're out.
- How could you ask him? You should've been natural. - How could you do a quiz?
- So you hung up on him? - Hyeong-don hung up on him.
- Then what will he think of me? - You cheated.
You can't ask him directly.
- If Ki-ha feels iffy about it, we can do rock-paper-scissors. - Yeah.
Rock-paper-scissors!
(Jang Ki-ha is chosen as the half-dried herring fairy!)
The guest is generous.
- It's on me. - Mr. Precious.
- For the next hot place... - We have to get in line.
- I'll pay. - Thank you for the food!
- Thank you! - I wish you success. Be healthy.
(After the night goblins left...)
(he packs servings of half-dried herring.)
(He puts half-dried herring, sauce, and a variety of vegetables in there.)
(It is ready for delivery.)
- For the next hot place... - We have to get in line.
Let's go.
The sea is beautiful.
We're going towards the market now.
Let's get off.
(Pohang's Jukdo Market)
(It is the biggest traditional market in the eastern coast.)
What are people lining up here for?
- What is it? - I have no information.
Is there something famous in the area?
- There's beef bone soup. - Beef bone soup?
Beef bone soup.
Ox blood.
This is a beef bone soup alley.
- Is it here? - Is it?
It says it's been open for 65 years. Is this the one?
- Ox head rice soup? Oh my gosh! - Sounds good.
(This restaurant at the entrance of the Jukdo
Market that has been around for 65 years...)
(is always full as soon as it opens!)
(The celebrities who came by guarantee its taste.)
(The soul food of Pohang residents)
- The meat isn't tough. - You never get sick of this taste.
(What is their secret to making such flavorful soup in a short time?)
(This restaurant only uses ox heads.)
(To add more flavor to the soup, they pour hot broth
over the meat a little at a time to heat it up.)
(They heat up the cooled meat in a traditional style they've been doing for 65 years.)
(Pohang's beef bone soup is complete with tradition and devotion.)
- It's been a while since I had ox head rice soup. - The smell is deep.
I'm a mania of rice soups, like ox head rice soup.
I like Yangpyeong's hangover rice soup.
I'm the type to search for them.
Seeing how your eyes are round, you're excited.
- Ki-ha, do you like rice soup? - I love it.
When you add rice in soup, it's perfect to eat with soju.
He really loves to drink.
Restaurants that get rid of the fishy smell of rice soups are really legit.
You describe it as the smell of fat instead of a fishy smell.
- Fishy smells come from fish. - Okay! Okay!
Got it? Are you sure you have an IQ of 134?
What?
(My in-word)
- You guys came. - Yes, we did.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's nice to meet you. - What did you buy?
Dried seaweed. What are you guys filming?
- "Night Goblin." - "Night Goblin."
- She knows about it right away. - Be healthy.
- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.
- Be healthy! - Happy New Year!
Ki-ha, isn't that your bag?
- It's the same! - It's the same thing.
(Soo-geun slightly examines the inside of the hot place.)
- Hello. You open at 4:30, right? - Yes.
- We're the first customers for dinner then. - Are we first today, too?
- Are you preparing for the ingredients? - We have to make the soup.
- You make new soup for every meal? - Yes.
- Wow. That's amazing. - Why? What is it?
(They don't make the meat and soup beforehand.)
(They boil new ones for every meal!)
- This is the third generation. - Really? Amazing.
What's amazing is that they make everything all
over again from the beginning before every meal.
- Wow. So they don't rest. - They don't make a huge amount and keep serving it.
That's right. They only open one hour for breakfast.
- Lunch is at 11:30. - They only open for one hour.
Amazing. What restaurant is this?
- Are you open? - Yes, come inside.
- We're first place! - Come in.
- Then are we the first ones to dry the newly made soup? - Yes.
You guys are first place, so sit wherever you'd like.
- Let's go upstairs then. - You can go into a room or stay in the hall.
Five small beef bone soup and one large one.
(Customers flood in at the opening time.)
You can feel the time in places like this.
- Look at that. It started with her. - This has been around for three generations.
First generation, second generation, and now third generation.
Ki-ha, did you take the SAT?
- Yes. - What was the perfect score back then?
- 400. - What did you get?
390.
- Then how many problems did you get wrong? - I'm not sure. Maybe four or five?
(He's totally different from the night goblins.)
- We took it together. - What was your score?
Me? 314.
- What? - Isn't that good?
(Customers who are looking for beef bone soup in the cold weather keep coming in.)
(The night goblins' beef bone soup is almost ready.)
(If you keep pouring the brother over the meat, then
the chewiness and the deep taste of the soup goes up.)
(The first beef bone soup is here.)
(The deep soup is full of beef.)
Wow. There's so much meat in here!
Ki-ha, you're excited again.
I became sad right away because there's no soju.
I'll try it.
- There's so much meat. - There really is.
- Because you put rice in it. - I feel like it will overflow.
Try it. It's really great.
(This is it!)
(He tries the beef in the beef bone soup.)
This is it.
(I know even if you don't say it...!)
This is really my style. It's like a "grunge" feel.
- Why is it so deep? - It's sticky, huh?
Yes!
It's really deep. There's no fishy smell, I mean the smell of fat.
- Smell of fat? - There's so much meat.
(Half soup, half meat)
- How should I describe this meat? - It's sticky.
Yes. Why is that?
There's a lot of gelatin in here.
I really think this is amazing.
"Night Goblin" is great, isn't it? All you do is keep eating like this.
- There's nothing to it except you pay. - You just have to go in the water sometimes.
- That's the drawback. - Yeah, you have to pay sometimes.
This is really a hot place.
- The place filled up quickly. - It did.
It's great if you come to eat this on a really freezing day.
It'd be great with soju.
The soju is good, huh?
(Even if you don't say it, we know...!)
Can you put two bottles of soju in the water bottle? Never mind.
He gave up right away.
- Ki-ha, you were happy for a moment, huh? - I was excited!
People with white faces like you turn red instantly.
- Just hearing it makes my ears red. - He turns red at the mention of soju.
(They desperately want a glass of soju.)
(They fill up their glasses with soup instead of soju...)
- Ki-ha really likes it. - Ki-ha loves it.
- I like special tastes. - He's the style to eat while sweating.
I like challenging food.
Like things that other people can't eat.
- We feel great when our guests eat well. - We do.
- It's so good. - I feel like we invited a guest home.
Ki-ha, how many meals do you eat per day?
I actually don't eat much. Just three meals a day.
Didn't you lose a lot of weight?
I didn't lose weight on purpose. I used to weigh 20 more kilograms.
But after going to the army, I lost 15 kilograms in six weeks.
Ki-ha chews his food very slowly.
- I can't eat fast. - Then you're not fit for our show.
I'm nervous because I wonder when we'll have to leave.
Let's go now. Are you done eating?
- One last bite left. - It's nice to see you eat so well.
Ki-ha is very good at eating.
We're done eating, so we need to go see Sung-kwang go in the water.
Why? There was no such plan.
- We said so earlier. - Let's decide the punishment.
- Let's decide it. - Go with the majority.
I say go in the water. Raise your hands for that.
- I say dive in the water. - Dive?
We have going in the water and diving.
- I wish he would just pick some abalones. - Picking abalones.
How could I pick abalones in Pohang?
You'll be able to find them if you stay in there long enough.
Octopus for me.
- I'll eat an octopus. - You want him to get an octopus?
This is the fish market.
This is snow crab street.
They're delicious.
(They will be delicious.)
Ki-ha, you can solve any problems, huh?
- What problem? - What's your best subject?
- What is fan in English? - Fan.
(Is that such an amazing problem...?)
Are you good at math?
Yes, I used to be good at it.
What is 2 X (2 X √(4))?
(Third grade level)
8.
Hold on. What did I say?
2 X (2 X √(4) is 2 X 2 X 2, which is 8.
I think he's right. He's confident.
Yes, that's right.
I know Ki-ha is stubborn.
He has no English lyrics.
There's coffee. "I drink cheap coffee."
English words and loan words are different.
Coffee is our word, too. We can't translate coffee, you know?
Why not? "Gabe."
- Gabe is coffee in our language. - Stop it.
Fried black beans.
(Culture shock)
(Songdo Beach)
In a bit, you'll be going in the water.
- Who knows if he'll go in alone or by himself? - Let him go in alone.
I have no idea what to do.
I don't want to go in alone. I wish someone would go in with me.
This is a really special night scenery.
- You can't see this anywhere else. - Right.
- Let's do this then. - What?
Rather than letting Sung-kwang go in by himself, it'd
be energetic if he goes in there with someone else.
Let's end this with a game of rock-paper-scissors.
- It's simple. - The one who puts out something different will go in.
- Things could be set up already. - That can't happen.
Just put something out, and the one who holds out something different will go in.
- I'm nervous. - Let's do this.
- Don't give signs! If you get caught giving signals... - Okay.
- This is to promise we'll play fair and square. One, two, three. - Let's do it!
My goodness.
- Here we go. - I'm so nervous.
Feel my heart beating.
- I can't really feel it. - Because he gained so much weight.
Let's hurry up and do it. Here we go.
- I'll taste it, I mean chant it. - He said "taste."
"Night Goblin!"
(Thanks to Jong-hyun, Ki-ha barely escaped punishment.)
"Night Goblin!"
(Jang Ki-ha is chosen to go in the water!)
(Why did I do that...? Why did I hold out paper...? Why did I change it...?)
(They're strongly expressing their happiness to the youngest.)
This is 100% real! Why did you change it?
(100% real... Are you sure?)
(Restructing the situation)
(Right before their first game)
(Soo-geun gave a sign...and Hyeong-don distracted Ki-ha's gaze...)
(Not rock or paper but scissors!)
(My heart is shaking... The hands are faster than the eyes.)
(Scissors OK)
(He didn't see it at all.)
(The first victory progressed without Ki-ha knowing.)
(But trusted Jong-hyun betrayed them...!)
(Jong-hyun...?)
(Do I have something on my face?)
"Night Goblin!"
(But the con-artists miraculously accomplished their plan.)
(They punished the betrayer.)
("Betrayal of the Youngest")
(The one who knows nothing)
Who is the betrayer?
- Isn't it you? - I don't trust anyone!
This reminds me of Tiger JK. How could the guest go in the water? I'm really sorry.
I came here with a light heart because I heard we're eating good food...
(You just said...I had to eat good food deliciously.)
(As expected from the production crew rascals...)
If you keep doing things without burden, you'll keep having bad luck.
I don't think that's true.
Then let's start the work.
Hold on. Right away?
Let's take the microphone off first.
(Let's take it off, Sung-kwang.)
I'll take care of myself. I said I'll take care of myself!
Jong-hyun, I said I'll do it myself!
I said I'll do it myself!
It's not like I did it once or twice! Don't worry about me! Take care of him.
This is his first time, so help him out a lot.
(The main MC's generosity of be able to think of others)
Ki-ha, why did you change it? Why are you so tactless?
How would I know that? I thought everyone would change.
- Wow. I was shaking. - What's up with your shirt?
Why did you wear your father's shirt?
Please take off your microphones.
- Are we really going in? - Did you think it was fake?
(He's discussing what he'll wear after he goes in the water with his stylist.)
Just look at him.
Ki-ha, look and learn from him.
- I haven't seen you like this in a while. - Don't touch me! You guys are cold!
Why do you keep touching me?
(Because I like it.)
- Ki-ha, have you ever gone into the winter sea? - Never.
He never did it. This is a good experience.
2018 is the year of the dog. Now you'll fly like dogs!
I'll proper this year.
Hurry up and take your clothes off!
Are you going to go in like that? Ki-ha, are you?
I feel like I'm seeing my old self.
- My clothes! - Hey, back in the days, I never did this with clothes on.
I was nearly half-naked, too.
- Give me my clothes! - My stylist had to pack six changes of underwear!
- We were never able to wear clothes. - This is a good chance. You get a close-up.
- You look like an athlete! - I don't think this will work! Give it to me!
Yeah. Give it to him for a moment.
Why aren't you wearing anything?
You shouldn't wear clothes. Give them to me.
- What are you doing, sir? - This is for YouTube.
Yup.
- I was kicked out of my house. - You were?
- I'm trying to upload this online. - Yes.
Ki-ha, what are you doing? Your friend is freezing to death here!
What? What? He... Oh!
Why are you going in like that? You're not going to take off your clothes?
You have to go that way. Just go to the sea wall and come back.
- Sea wall? - Sea wall?
- All the way there? - I don't even know where it is.
Let's do it with energy.
I was happy to be on "Night Goblin" in 2017...
Thank you for everything. I was able to come this far because of all of you.
Please love us more next year.
- Say something for 2018. - I hope you succeed in 2018 and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Way to go!
All right! Let's go!
One, two, three!
- Why aren't you going? - I don't think I can!
One, two, three!
This makes me think of the old times.
Do it with energy!
- They'll have to go in for a long time. - The water is very shallow.
(Oh, no.)
(The depth of the water is more shallow than they thought it was...)
At this rate, they'll cross the ocean.
- Where are they going up to? - Sung-kwang!
I told you they have to go the sea wall. What is he doing?
It's so cold!
Ki-ha!
(Come to me, 2018!)
(The main MC also gifts big laughter today.)
One more time! Go "Night Goblin!" Go Park Sung-kwang!
- Hurry up, drone! Dry him! - This is no joke.
Don't come!
(Ki-ha came back to shore dragging his heavy body.)
Don't come here, drone! Drone director!
- Dry your hair! - Hurry up and dry your hair!
It's freezing!
(Please get a ton of energy from the winter sea!)
That was awesome.
(Sung-kwang and Ki-ha successfully went into the sea.)
Let's go. Where are Sung-kwang's clothes?
You kept closing and opening your fist.
Do you know how surprised we were that you betrayed us?
(A beautiful night in Pohang. Where did the night goblins go?)
(Guryongpo makes 50% of the output of snow crabs in Gyeongbuk.)
I'm really tired after riding a boat.
What are you talking about? We walked.
This is beautiful.
Did you see the article that this year was full of snow crabs?
- Many snow crabs were caught. - Really?
There were tons of snow crabs caught? (Pun)
You can't say it like that. "There were tons of snow crabs caught!"
(Where is the hot place with parcel service at Guryongpo Port?)
- Hello! - Wow. Hello.
(Distribution center where all the snow crabs
of Guryongpo, the major output, are gathered.)
(Good snow crabs that were bought through an auction at Guryongpo Port!)
(Welcome!)
- Are these snow crabs? - Yes.
- Do they bite you? - Yes.
- Will your finger be cut off? - Something awful will happen.
(The three boys who don't listen and do the opposite)
- I bet this one is really expensive. - This is Jeong Hyeong-don class!
(An especially large snow crab that has a similar appearance to Hyeong-don!)
(They manage the parcel service of the entire area.)
(You can eat steamed snow crabs on the spot.)
(Pohang's greatest hot place for snow crabs!)
I heard there are less people looking for these now.
There are less people looking for snow crabs after the earthquake.
- Usually, these would all be gone. - Right.
Do you have many requests for parcel service?
Yes, but not much as before.
Wow. Even that?
- That's why we came. - That's why we came, sir.
There could be people who would want Pohang's delicious foods delivered to them.
- Let's have another game. - Oh, this one is going to get a bit competitive.
We need to change the title of the show. Do we have to pay again?
- Since it's the end of the year. - We will spend a ton on snow crabs. (Pun)
- How many times are you saying that? - Let's spend a ton.
Then let's play it like this.
One of the cast members will choose a staff member.
- One each? - Yes.
Then one person will pay for all 12 people.
Is the staff paying, too? Let's make the loser go into the water as well.
- Why again? - Why again? I feel like I'm going to get caught again.
Let's stop.
After looking through the props, I found dart.
- Dart? - Dart?
- There was a dart game. - Let's get the best ones.
Let's have a proper taste of traditional snow crabs.
It's January 31, so let's eat until the table legs break.
Okay. Let's go. Come on!
Can't I choose a $15 one?
If you're not confident...
(Try me.)
(The snow crabs that the customers choose themselves...)
(are cleanly washed in hot water...)
(and then steamed and served on the spot!)
Should we pick the staff members one by one?
- So six team? - Yes.
- Then what should we do? - I already chose mine.
Who?
The one who made eye-contact with me just now.
The camera director who is filming me.
(His heart shakes at Hong-gi's selection.)
- Then should we choose the camera directors in charge of filming us? - Yes.
- So we'll each choose our own camera directors? - Right.
- What's that? - Is that a dart?
(Target drawn on a snow crab box)
- I thought we were eating snow crabs. - What the heck?
What's this? Are we throwing with these?
Will they even stick on there?
- Try it. - This is impossible.
Will this go through?
Liquid comes out.
- It works. - So it does.
- Why are you so bad at this? - Then you'll have to be close.
Let's do it from afar. The one who can't stick the leg into the foam will lose.
- I'm really good at darts though. - I'm very good at them.
- I can throw 100 in one second. - What are you saying?
(At that rate, you're a ninja...)
This is going to be crazy. Let's do this right away.
Who is going to hold this?
It has to be straight in the air.
- Why are you eating that? - Let's play a clean game!
(I'm just going to drink the liquid.)
Isn't that too dangerous?
(Please throw gently...)
(Pohang Parcel Service Fairy Contest III)
(First up is Hyeong-don.)
(Nervous)
Yes!
(Hit the mark on the first try!)
He's freaking good at things like this. Next.
- How could you make a clean hit like that? - How many points is that?
Three points?
(Frustrated/Happy)
(Acknowledged as someone who gave up P.E...)
(Practicing in the back)
Why do you keep throwing the liquid at me?
(Snow crab dart full of juice)
- We're good at things like this. - From top to bottom. It's split too far though.
(What is game of god Soo-geun's fate?)
- This is hard. - It is.
- It's bent. - Exactly.
Is it my turn?
If you make it through, you succeeded.
I'm telling you it's hard.
- This one will work well. - His is standing up.
Here I go.
Jong-hyun won't succeed.
What's wrong with you? You usually can't do
things like this. What's gotten into you lately?
Gosh darn it!
Hey, you're getting better at games lately.
Anyways, we're safe!
(Snow crab dart game ranking: 1st place Jong-hyun, 2nd place
Hyeong-don, Last place Ki-ha, Soo-geun, Hong-gi, Sung-kwang)
- But this is really hard. - It is.
- Second round. - Second round?
- It's now a survival game. - Survival.
- The one who can't stick it till the end loses? - Yup.
(Failed again)
Ki-ha's posture tells me he's the one who has to buy this.
Seriously, how do you do this?
- Do I have to hold onto the end? - A new way.
(It stuck!)
We're really good at things like this!
(Happy ninja ceremony)
You saw that, right?
- Wow. That was so cool. - I threw it like a knife.
It was awesome.
(Hong-gi also succeeds!)
Why is it us two again?
This is so weird.
(Either Sung-kwang or Ki-ha will be chosen!)
Hold on! Can't you hold onto it tightly?
(I am.)
(Competition of the mysterious ones born in 1981)
Why won't this work?
- Do I have to hold onto the end? - No, you have to hold it like this.
What?
You said you're from Seoul National University.
Won't it not stick if you throw it like this?
I kept throwing it like this, but it wouldn't stick.
- You need to make it go downwards. - Ki-ha, there's no crying.
Okay. I'll hold it in.
You totally look like a hunter right now.
Throw it strongly. Please! Throw with all your strength!
You totally look like a hunter right now.
Throw it strongly. Please! Throw with all your strength!
(Convulsing with laughter)
- We decided to acknowledge this earlier! - No!
No, that's out.
- This one has no score. - It's out.
- It has to go in the target? - Of course.
Ki-ha, don't play dirty.
It was clinging onto the board like this.
- Gosh. That was a precious success. - Now you got a feel of it, right?
I'm going to throw it like this.
How do you do this?
- Why won't this work? - What are you saying?
Why didn't it go in?
- I got a feel of it. - He knows what to do now.
- Why am I getting so nervous about this? - I think I'll make it this time.
It will work. Ki-ha, it will work.
(Will he have recognized the principal of the snow
crab with his brain that got a 390 on the SAT?)
(He did it!)
- Sung-kwang is still left. - He still has his turn left!
Sung-lwang, you need to make a miracle!
- We're doing it according to the points. - It's based on their points.
(Confirmed as the loser)
- Thank you! - Our main MC is buying us delicious crabs for the new year.
- Thank you for the crabs! - Thank you.
What the heck?
(It's true that he is the icon of misfortune.)
(It didn't work when he tried his best earlier...)
It properly went in.
- You guys were competitive. - Thank you so much. I was saved thanks to you.
Amazing!
Thank you, Sung-kwang.
I feel like 2018 will be a bad year for me.
(Meanwhile in the kitchen...)
- The youngest writers are still... - Wow!
Goodness. Thanks, Sung-kwang!
(Their visuals make jaws drop.)
(Repeated exclamations)
(There's one person who can't be exactly thrilled.)
I will enjoy the crabs Sung-kwang bought for us.
Director, sit down. It's my treat, so have a seat.
(Why do my eyes keep sweating...?)
Look at the leg. Wow.
(It's officially time to eat snow crabs.)
Honestly, I've never had snow crabs before.
Director, put that camera down.
You can put this down today.
Enjoy in peace.
Stop filming for today!
(Burdened)
Directors, please eat.
(Persistency that won't lose a close-up of the snow crab)
- Put the cameras down! - It seems like they can't eat until someone tells them to.
Take a look at this. What are you going to do about this?
Lower your mask.
Here we go! The first bite! Lower your mask.
(Content)
(It's so good that I almost lost the camera...)
Stop filming and eat already!
- Director, look. - Put the camera down and join us.
Ta-da!
Open up.
(He eats like a baby bird while tightly holding onto the camera.)
Have some.
I washed my hands.
- You should eat with us. That way, it won't be uncomfortable. - He's right.
This isn't eating together. This is feeding you.
Then let's switch. I'll hold the camera.
We don't even feed our kids like this!
Can't you just eat them with us?
Let's take the cameras from them. We'll film the directors eat.
I studied production, so I'm pretty good at this.
- Please enjoy comfortably and tell us how it tastes. - How is it?
It's very good. It's even better because Sung-kwang is buying it for us.
- I want to eat more. - More? More?
- Film them together. - Together?
Yes.
How many years have you been working here?
It hasn't been long since I came in late.
They're the rookies, so they're walking on eggshells.
It's this man right here.
(Park Jae-young: the man who is making them walk on eggshells)
He probably had a day when he was a rookie!
(Good job.)
They didn't get the order.
- You need to give them an order. - Eat up. Stop filming and eat.
Say it brightly! That way, they'll be able to eat!
Look at their happy expressions while eating crabs.
We'll put the cameras down and eat comfortably now. Directors, eat comfortably, too.
Let's eat together.
Sung-kwang said you can order more if this isn't enough.
(Confused)
- Ma'am, this is delicious. It's unbelievable. - It's really good.
Ki-ha, you're blessed.
This is the best of the best.
All the foods we ate until now were great, but this is a different class.
Let's eat together. Come here.
(Thank you to the "Night Goblin" staff for working hard day and night in 2017!)
(We hope that the viewers will also have a year full of laughter.)
(And...)
(at the Jungang Shopping Streets, the resting place of Pohang residents...)
(they talk about their 2017.)
(A letter from Pohang)
The unfortunate thing was that I should've played more with my friends but couldn't.
In the new year, I want to talk with my family a lot and go to good places with them.
I was very happy that I got a raise. I'd love it if you give me another raise in 2018.
I'm far apart from my family. They're in Ulleung Island.
So I wish I can visit them more next year.
I came from another area because of school,
so I couldn't see my parents a lot. I miss them a lot.
My mother is running a restaurant.
She's having a hard time because of the earthquake.
I feel bad I couldn't help her out a lot.
Many earthquake victims and the residents of Pohang are very worried.
I hope everything will be recovered and that
everyone will go back to their families safely.
My boyfriend is going into the army next year.
I hope he doesn't get hurt, and I wish he'll come back safely.
I wish my grandchildren can be healthier.
I wish my parents will get closer.
Grandma, I hope you can be healthy and live for a long time.
Mom, it was your birthday yesterday, but I couldn't
properly celebrate with you. I'm sorry. I love you.
Mom, I love you.
Dad, I love you!
I love you.
(We're now heading towards the end of 2017.)
(Let's all stop for a moment and wish for a happy new year.)
(Where did the night goblins go to at the start of 2018?)
Pohang University of Science and Technology.
(The night goblins meet the students of Pohang University of Science and Technology.)
We usually don't sleep at this time.
Because you have to study.
What's wrong with your pattern?
(The Pohang University of Science and Technology
students' dawn is revealed for the first time.)
Let's do busking for the sleepless students.
("Night Goblin's" first busking/guerilla concert)
(They promoted it and practiced for the performance themselves.)
(Their first busking/guerilla concert)
