(Attractive men are here at Radio Star.)
(Wheesung, who already reached the peak of his life.)
(He knows how it feels like to be on top because he was there.)
(Are you only going to talk about your past on Radio Star?)
(Simon D, the man of the moment who has gorgeous eyes)
(These days, today, at this moment)
(I'm the best.)
(He's not someone I can compete.)
(Woo Won Jae's "We Are" is ruling the chart.)
(Woo Won Jae, who has a brighter future!)
(His attractiveness is ahead of his time.)
(We've all done that before!)
Your name was... What was it?
(Lee Yong Jin's confidence makes him look attractive.)
(Whether they criticize or compliment,)
(he doesn't get affected by anything.)
(Four men with different charms are here.)
("There's No Cure for Falling for These Problematic Men" begins now.)
My size is small.
I have a body that every woman wants to have.
I'm a teeth remover.
I also have such manly muscles.
I have an irresistible charm.
- What? - I don't even...
- Goodness. - He's a good actor.
- Do we have to follow this? - That was such a classical acting.
Do we really have to follow this?
I just winked too. I don't know if the camera caught it or not.
(It's well caught.)
Not only good at writing popular songs,
I also wrote a book and showed my sensibility.
You Jong Shin, you're so romantic.
Why did they make us do this?
Good sense, humor, some knowledge,
and pity.
Kim Gook Jin, I mean, Kim Gu Ra.
I'm a lovely man.
It applies to everyone.
The script is different.
- I was a bit flustered. - How will Tae Hyun do this?
- I'll do my best. - How will Tae Hyun do this?
I'm an actor guaranteeing 10 million viewers. I'm the master of...
romantic comedies. I'm an MC of a TV show and a director of a drama.
Did I really do it all?
Tae Hyun, I admire you.
- He's good. - That's right.
If you fall for us, we never let you go.
We're a high-end music program, that you can never escape from.
- It's Radio Star! - Radio Star!
- We're like a swamp. - Today, we invited four guys...
who made girls fall for them with their amazing charms.
"There's No Cure for Falling for These Problematic Men" begins now.
He is...
(Can't you love me?)
If you only listen to his songs, you will think he's such a romanticist.
However, he has been seen in a lot of clubs.
There are so many stories about him flirting with people.
He's evolving into a sexy guy from a hip hop boy.
- Well, I think that's fine. - Wheesung!
He was just smiling.
He just said some words.
But it's making every woman fall for him.
His exhausted looks make people want to protect him these days.
He's cool. Simon D!
Simon D!
Last year, everyone on the street...
wore a beanie like Woo Won Jae.
He showed off his dark and sexy charm.
Girls fell for him because of that.
Boy, don't hide your eyes with the beanie.
I don't understand anything.
He's an idol from AOMG. Woo Won Jae.
We have no idea. What does this mean?
- We don't even know Woo Won Jae. - That's what I'm saying.
- It's my first time seeing him. - Well, we'll see.
He's the guy female comedians want to marry the most.
He's the most popular guy in "Comedy Big League".
Lee Yong Jin.
However, he's becoming less popular in public.
He's here to show his charms to public today.
- He's Lee Yong Jin! - Lee Yong Jin.
- Welcome. - Nice to meet you.
(Wheesung, Simon D, Woo Won Jae, Lee Yong Jin)
- Welcome. - It's so nice to see you all.
Simon D!
Wheesung, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, it's nice to see you all.
I'm Wheesung.
- That's simple. - I don't need to explain more.
Simon D, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I became a happy man...
after putting my mind at rest.
You're not the CEO of AOMG anymore either.
I am not the CEO of AOMG anymore.
I put my mind at rest.
- You put your mind at rest. - Yes.
- I love it. I am very happy. - I see.
Won Jae, please say hello.
Hello. You might not recognize me...
without a beanie. I am Woo Won Jae.
He sounds like he has something in his mouth.
- Seriously. - Isn't he...
- worse than me? - He is worse.
I wondered if he has a candy in his mouth.
Yong Jin, please say hello.
I am not on a downtrend.
I am on an uptrend these days.
I am a senior comedian comedians and comediennes love...
and respect the most,
Lee Yong Jin.
- What was that? - It was very natural.
He did it with ease.
He is good at introducing himself.
- All right. - He has lethal charms.
Wheesung is popular...
these days.
- Me? - He is popular at events.
- At events? - He gets so many invitations...
that he wishes he had more than one body.
Is this the season for the events?
I have been to every place but a senior citizens center.
Really?
I have ballad songs,
- rap songs, - That's right.
dance songs, club-appropriate songs,
and songs that make people laugh and sing along.
What are the songs that make people laugh?
You know,
K.Will and Cho Sae Ho...
- always sings them. - I get it now.
(Singing mournfully)
(I even thought of a marriage with you)
(Belting)
- That's right. - You are the original singer.
They exaggerated your singing style.
Would you imitate the way K.Will imitates you?
(Don't cry, you fool)
K.Will is better.
He is the original singer.
You give these moments to the fans during the event.
Fans sing these parts.
I am very busy.
You are busy with the events.
You haven't been on TV much lately.
One time, he performed at an event for free.
It's a disservice to other singers.
I was at a club...
in Gangnam.
I ran into them...
and said hello.
"Hello." "Hello, Simon D."
I was enjoying myself when his manager approached me.
"Wheesung wants to sing on the stage."
He asked me if I would be okay with it.
I told him I would love it.
He sang for 30 minutes.
- What happened? - I did it because I felt bad.
I am too old for a club.
I felt bad for partying with younger people.
That's why I decided to do something for them...
before I party with them.
- I see. - It happened naturally.
- I felt bad. - It happened spontaneously.
When you tell the employees that you want to sing,
do they allow it?
He is Wheesung.
Of course they allow it.
He has a repertoire of songs.
I don't think I am a has-been.
I didn't mean it like that.
Wheesung read between the lines.
He is still popular.
- I didn't mean it like that. - Wheesung is still popular.
Why did Wheesung's manager ask for Simon D's understanding?
It was Simon D's stage.
- No. I was there for fun. - He was there for fun.
- Why did the manager do that? - When I get excited,
I sometimes perform next to the DJ.
His manager didn't have to come and ask...
for my understanding.
I am an old-time singer.
I didn't know if it would be okay to sing.
- I loved it. - You know,
you have been affected by Tae Jin Ah.
(They used to be in the same agency.)
Yong Jin, you visited Radio Star with Lee Jin Ho the last time.
It took two months for you to clean up the mess.
Who else was on the show?
- Se Chan and Kangta. - Yang Se Chan.
- I see. - You are close to them.
It was Awfully Boring Special.
I remember that...
Kangta...
didn't look after Lee Jin Ho,
but Lee Yong Jin... Who was it? What happened?
- I am Lee Yong Jin. - I see. I am sorry.
I am Lee Yong Jin.
I got confused.
I think you are on a downtrend.
The person Kangta admires is Lee Yong Jin, right?
I told you I am Lee Yong Jin.
- Aren't you confused? - Lee Jin Ho.
Am I the only one who is confused?
No.
- You should remember my name. - I am confused.
I am Lee Yong Jin.
- The chubby one is Lee Jin Ho. - That's right.
He did this.
He doesn't know his junior comedians very well.
- He is Lee Yong Jin. - That's right.
You made comments by yourself.
- That's right. - They had no ties to the others.
I was like a lonely island.
You are like that today as well.
- Seriously. - I have no ties to them.
- He isn't a musician. - I know.
Lee Jin Ho isn't here either.
That's right. There were repercussions...
because I talked about my aunt who is a shaman.
- That's right. - Jin Ho and I exaggerated...
when we told the story...
in order to make people laugh.
We talked about the family as well.
My aunt lives in Gongju.
- It took two months to calm her. - The family was upset.
- I drove to Gongju. - "Why did you tell that story?"
I drove for 2 hours and a half...
and knelt for 30 minutes.
The incident matured me.
Is that so?
I got permission from the family members...
for the stories I will share today.
- I even called my dad. - You called him.
- Good job. - You have a story about him.
(The stories are family-approved.)
Simon D, you were in a bad shape...
for a while.
You look much better these days.
Once I let everything go,
I could start from the beginning.
So...
When you say you let everything go,
did you only relinquish your position as the CEO?
Did you relinquish your rights...
and shares as well?
I gave DJ Pumkin...
my position as the CEO.
I see.
Then I got rid of my shares.
- You got rid of them. - Yes.
I simply wanted to be...
a rapper.
I left...
a small portion.
- That's right. - You shouldn't give everything up.
I wanted to give everything up,
but my friends told me I should hold onto a small portion.
You know,
I am not saying this is your situation.
When people think a company has reached its peak,
- they let it go. - They look elsewhere.
That's right. The same thing can happen...
when they are too exhausted.
I am sorry, but is this a program about shares?
Yong Jin, this is an important story.
You keep talking...
- about shares. - You talked...
about your aunt the last time. This is equally important.
If I talk about my aunt again, there will be repercussions.
It looks like your hair lost...
its abundance.
- Since we haven't met in a while... - I mean...
Do you realize it?
What do you mean his hair lost its abundance?
I was being indirect.
(He is in a daze.)
You are saying he is going bald.
No, I am not.
- Why don't you say it as it is? - The thing is,
Simon D is in his mid 30s.
I am close to hitting my 50s.
This is a worry all men have.
- That's right. - Your hair thins out.
Well, I dyed my hair a lot.
- You did, right? - When I worked on my album,
I barely slept for six months...
- and lost a lot of hair. - I knew it.
- How old are you, Simon D? - I am 35 years old.
You are 35 years old.
I am 37 years old.
It's a worry I have these days.
I am scared that I will get a helicopter landing area here.
You don't have those genes, do you?
No, I don't. No one in my family got a helicopter landing area,
- but someone did lost hair here. - The M-shaped hairline.
- You should take care of your hair. - It's the runway.
(Laughing)
Wheesung, are you the CEO of your agency?
It's a one-man agency.
It's like running a small shop.
It's a good analogy.
It's different from being the CEO of AOMG.
You were in the same agency...
as Tae Jin Ah.
Now that the two of you parted ways,
you run your own agency.
- I left the agency a long time ago. - You left Tae Jin Ah...
- a long time ago. - It was a long time ago.
My manager and I...
traveled around the nation to work.
Now, we set up a small office underground.
We are working hard.
Who are in the agency?
There isn't anyone you know.
- I am the only one you know. - There are newly-debuted singers.
- Yes. - What's the name of the agency?
Is it HS Media?
- What? - HS Media?
(Gu Ra comes up with an original name.)
HS Media?
- I bet it's something like that. - Your website can be Gu Ra Dot Com.
I mean,
HS Media is a good name.
It sounds like a cassette tape company.
I only asked because the name is fitting.
Do you think the name fits me?
It's not like that.
- It does fit you. - No, no.
- The name of the agency is... - What is it?
Realslow Company.
- Realslow Company. - Yes.
He is as known as Realslow.
When I was in the indie music scene,
- I rapped and such. - I know that.
- He was the best. - I used the stage name...
I had back then, Realslow.
HS Entertainment would be a good name.
- He is really stubborn. - HS Media.
HS Media Group is good.
It's a simple name.
I will use that name if I make a subsidiary...
- for trot. - All right.
(The pillar of HS Media, Wheesung)
There are many annoyances now that you are the CEO.
I get the most annoyed...
when I get a bill for rent.
I get the most annoyed.
When you enter a company,
you should hear the sound of music...
and people moving about busily.
You should hear the sound of people typing.
However, I have to turn on the light by myself...
because no one is at the office.
- Get the motion sensor lights. - What?
(The lights will come on automatically.)
You are slow-witted.
- Seriously. - Those lights go out.
Get the motion sensor lights.
Those lights will come on when you enter.
Why would you trick yourself with a lousy method?
I heard something about Lee Hyun...
of Big Hit Entertainment.
The CEO, Bang Si Hyuk,
told him that he will support him.
He is now attending a graduate school for business.
- Really? - That's right.
- I heard that. - I think the CEO is telling him...
to stop working as a solo artist.
- I see. - You could be right.
I heard that...
- from Kim Tae Woo. - Kim Tae Woo.
Tae Woo told me that.
It's not a bad idea to learn business like that.
Si Hyuk told him to stop working as a solo artist.
He didn't put it like that.
"Hyun, you should work by my side."
It was like that.
The fact that he sent Lee Hyun to a graduate school for business...
tells me he won't pay attention to his musical career.
(He won't pay attention to his music career.)
Won Jae's album will be released soon.
He's also starring on Radio Star around the same time.
His goal is to show unexpected sides of him out of the frame.
We don't know what you mean...
by out of the frame.
- Are you asking me? - Yes.
It's our first time seeing him. He has no frame to break free from.
I would like to know what the existing frame is.
- Let me explain it to you. - We should ask him.
- We know nothing about you. - We don't know who you are.
- He's a musician and doesn't know. - Actually,
- I heard a lot about Won Jae. - We heard a lot about him.
- We don't know who he is. - I heard you write great lyrics.
- Tell us how you used to be. - I used to be...
- very dark. - I see.
To be honest, I was going through a hard time at that time.
Were you pessimistic about life, weren't you?
I was very twisted.
I thought the worst of the world and didn't trust anyone.
- But now, I got better. - Did you become more optimistic?
Even until now,
some people ask me about my dark days.
A lot of people have a hard time talking to me.
Even if they recognize me on the street,
people can't approach me because I'm scary.
I guess your lyrics were aggressive.
Yes, they were.
I used a lot of swearwords in the songs. I muted them.
The viewers of Radio Star would be flustered...
because they're getting to know him, but he wants to change his image.
(They're baffled.)
We have to get used to him first.
Did your songs get more cheerful?
After signing with AOMG, I learned a lot from other rappers.
I mean, they all look like...
thugs on a daily basis.
- They look like thugs, - I agree.
- but they work hard. They do. - I see.
They lead diligent lives.
They live on the straight and narrow.
As I observed other rappers,
I learned that they were adults. That way, I wouldn't torture myself.
I realized that I was torturing myself.
- I see. - That's true.
The source of Won Jae's irresistible charms...
is his beanie.
But nowadays, you can't wear them even if you want to wear them.
- Beanies make you hot. - Really?
- I used to wear them during summer. - Of course.
I think my forehead is getting bigger as time passes.
- That's right. - Here's what it is.
My hairline is becoming M-shaped.
- Already? - It's a fashion thing for...
rappers at AOMG.
After seeing Simon D, I felt better.
- Right. - That's hilarious.
I think the M in AOMG's logo will get bigger now.
Can the M be used in this context?
- Good thing he joined the label. - "AOMG".
- "AOMG". - My gosh.
"AOMG".
- You're only 23. Be careful. - Right.
When I was 20, my dream was becoming black.
I pressed my hair to make it look like theirs.
I used a razor to make the hairline clear. And my forehead got bigger.
I put on the beanie that time.
My hairline started to look M-shaped faster than before.
Then is one of your parents facing hair loss like you?
- My dad's hair is thinning. - I see.
- Then it's possible. - It could happen.
Your father doesn't wear beanies around, does he?
- My dad doesn't hide things. - I see.
- He doesn't. - He didn't wear beanies.
You got it from your father.
It seems like you didn't get much sleep last night.
I worked until morning, slept a little, and came here.
- Is that so? - Me too.
You couldn't sleep either?
I was filming until four too and came here.
Won Jae, you always wear beanies.
No one cares.
(They continue on.)
Won Jae, you always wear beanies. You were offered sponsorship,
- but you turned it down. - Because you keep losing hair.
Not all beanies are the same.
As for my beanie,
I always wear the same beanie. I've never washed it.
- I have to stretch a small one. - It's small.
I wet it with my sweat. I stretch it.
- I fold it differently. - That's right.
I do it so that it fits my head perfectly.
Have you ever thought about selling beanies?
- What did you say? - I was just curious.
This will make him money.
If I were him, I would've sold beanies right away.
Wheesung became very interested in money.
- HS Media. - It's because of the label.
I really want to move to another label.
The smell of mold is getting terrible.
- You're enjoying... - Yes?
your second heyday in secret?
- No one knows about it. - In secret.
- I had no idea. - Right.
- This is all thanks to your aunt? - Yes.
I have to talk about my aunt with this question.
Starting this summer, my father kept on...
saying that he should dig the water spring in his neighborhood...
so that the people in his area start drinking more water.
- Your aunt is a shaman, right? - Yes.
I asked him why. His grandmother kept on showing up in dreams.
They had to dig the water spring to make my career successful.
- The water spring? - Yes.
And it costs quite a fortune.
- Of course. - Digging for water is pricey.
- Then I would have to pay for it. - Right.
- We had to get an excavator too. - That's right.
When you dig for water, it costs a lot.
Whenever the excavator scoops up, it costs few hundred dollars.
First off, since my father sounded...
determined about it, I went forward with the plan.
My aunt told us that we had to proceed with the plan.
But after the construction,
I filmed two commercials out of the blue.
I didn't see your commercials.
- What kind of product is it? - No, he did film them though.
- It's an online commercial. - He filmed it.
You have to specify that it was an online commercial.
- The commercial isn't on TV. - Online commercial.
- It's a famous brand. - Online commercial.
They were for the online shopping website and the cosmetic company.
That's for a month, right?
- Pardon? - It's for a month, right?
- Why are you playing it down? - Online ad is usually for a month.
They are usually for a month.
- My son filmed an online ad too. - Why do you keep playing it down?
My son filmed a jeans commercial.
- That's for a month, right? - Yes, it is.
(Everyone enjoys his blunt comment.)
- That was nice. - I thought so too.
- It's either 1 or 3 months. - Right.
- Mine lasts for three months. - Really? Okay.
- Yours will last for three months. - Yes, it will.
All of a sudden, I filmed two commercials.
- After you dug the well? - Two days later,
I hosted an event with the President.
It's weird. Lately, things are going too well.
- You were offered to be here too. - I was offered to be on this show.
I think things will work out.
Things go well for some people after changing grave sites.
You don't lose anything from listening to the elders.
Mine was the water spring. Why are you bringing up a grave site?
I was merely making a comparison.
- That's how things work out. - You want me to move the grave?
That's how it used to be.
I see. Usually, I don't believe that,
- but I guess that really exists. - I guess so.
- She helped with my success a lot. - Okay.
- Wheesung showed it to us earlier. - Okay.
You prepared a lot of special talents today.
- Simon D's "Jung Jin Chul". - Simon D's impression?
- My uncle's name is Jung Jin Chul. - This one was famous.
- He went missing a long time ago. - Right.
- And he found his uncle. - Really?
I found him through the song.
- And you'll see that, Wheesung? - But this isn't...
- a special talent. I was talking. - I heard you practiced.
"My uncle's name is Jung Jin Chul, his job is fashion designer"
(He's about to go find his uncle.)
(This is scary. What kind of song is this?)
My uncle will be offended by this.
But this line keeps coming up.
- I don't know the song. Is it true? - It keeps coming up.
(This is the original version of the song.)
He just sang it.
- My uncle name is Jung Jin Chul - His pronunciation is accurate now.
His job is fashion designer
(There's an error in the output.)
(His eyes lose the focus.)
- At least your face looks similar. - That's ventriloquism.
- Shouldn't you have a puppet here? - Exactly.
(This isn't coming from my mouth.)
(He finds his new talent.)
- It keeps repeating. - How could you find your uncle?
- That's so interesting. - It's a charm of being a musician.
The power of music is great.
- Good for you. - Seriously.
You just sang the song too, but the lyrics consist of...
"My uncle's name is Jung Jin Chul",
so it was probably easy to write this song.
But this song has all of your blood, sweat, and tears.
As for the album with the song, "Jung Jin Chul"...
When I was making the album, I hit a rough patch.
The thing is that...
when I was writing the lyrics, "My uncle's name is Jung Jin Chul",
I wanted to give up.
I thought about giving up on music.
I thought about it a lot.
I asked myself why I must create new songs in agony.
I got to enjoy the popularity that came with the job...
and made enough money that I ever thought about.
I thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing if I stopped here.
- I see. - What do you call it?
But I felt a sense of responsibility.
- You can't give up now. - Right.
What happened was that I was easily burnt out.
- Responsibility can't be the drive. - Right.
But the thing is that...
that sense of responsibility stayed with me.
I like your songs the most.
- You always like my songs. - Simon.
"Simon".
Goodness. I smell...
doenjang jjigae from my next seat.
- "Simon". - "Simon".
(The flow sounds like traditional Korean music.)
Won Jae's "We Are" swept the charts.
I heard you made a lot of money.
- It sold a lot, didn't it? - I could take care of my parents.
- It took up 80 percent. - 80 percent of your profits?
- Yes, it made 80 percent of my pay. - I see.
What did you do with the money you made?
I bought presents for my parents.
- I used it for my sister's deposit. - For your sister?
My dad is a repairman.
- He fixes cars. - I see.
His dream has been...
When he fixes cars, his watch gets scratched a lot.
He wanted to buy a Rolex,
but he couldn't bring himself to buy it since it'll get scratches,
so I bought him that.
- I bought him a Rolex. - Really?
My dad always has a hard time buying expensive things.
Since his job requires hard physical labor,
it's the same way with his clothes and rings,
so I always wanted to buy nice things for my dad.
- He doesn't buy it with his money. - Right.
I bought my dad the watch.
- I got my dad's wedding watch. - That's so cool.
That's right. You're supposed to hand those down.
- Your dad is so hip. - He is, isn't he?
My dad is very hip.
He made a lot of money with the song, "We Are",
but he keeps asking me to buy him a car lately.
He's not the CEO anymore. Why are you asking him that?
I gave up my position. He keeps asking me that.
He asked me that earlier too.
You ask for extravagant gifts.
I was sitting next to him, but he sent me a direct message.
"Buy me a car, please."
You know that service?
Use SoCar. It's really good.
You can use it for a few hours for 30 dollars.
- I'll rent you a SoCar. - It's the best.
When you asked him for a new car,
did you mean to ask to change the company given for you?
- Yes. - He asked me for a Benz.
- For his personal car? - Does he buy it when you ask?
No, I was just trying to be cute. "Buy me a car."
- Hip hop artists have swag. - But the thing is that...
I actually thought about buying him a car. I wonder if I should buy it.
- But you should know that... - Really?
he makes more money than I do now.
I just released my album.
(It means that he can't buy him the car.)
Won Jae signed with AOMG because...
he was half-kidnapped. What's this about?
Before "Show Me the Money" ended,
a lot of labels had contacted me.
Every label wanted to sign me, but only a few didn't contact me.
- AOMG was one of the few. - That was the only label.
I didn't think I would sign with them because...
AOMG gives off this cheerful energy.
I assumed that the label wasn't interested in me.
But all of a sudden, the day after the show had ended,
I got a called from Gray.
He asked me if I wanted to sign with AOMG.
I was really surprised.
A big label like that made an offer out of nowhere.
I was surprised to be asked by this label,
so I ran away to Japan.
- I run away when I need to think. - Is that so?
- It was a big decision for me. - You needed time to think.
- It was before you decided. - I see.
I bet you were in a hot spring in Japan.
(Warm your body, but be objective.)
I bet you were having the tuna sashimi too.
I was having sashimi.
But when you get an offer like that,
it feels good even if you're eating alone.
I was really happy. I was so happy to think about it.
- Exactly. - I was happy to think about it.
Since it was a big decision for me, I didn't want happiness rule over.
I wanted to think about this objectively, so I went to Japan.
On my way back, I was getting off the plane.
I deactivated the airplane mode. When I did, Gray texted me...
that he was in front of the airport and to meet him there.
Our label prepared a car for him.
- The label prepared a car for me. - Really?
"I'm at Gimhae Airport."
"I'm in Cheongju."
- You know what? You do things... - I was at Gimpo Airport.
American mafias would do.
We were like, "Bring Won Jae. Bring him to us now."
- That's pretty cool though. - My gosh.
- They were trying to sign you. - "Hurry."
- That must've made you happier. - For me,
- they totally won me over with it. - They did, didn't they?
The rappers came to pick me up themselves.
- You must have felt great. - When I landed,
Jay Park was waiting for me.
- DJ Pumkin was there too. - That was dramatic.
They were trying to be nice to me.
Although I was kidnaped, I went there willingly.
- You must've worried if they... - Exactly.
- changed the offer while in Japan. - They might've changed their minds.
- I was worried very much. - Okay.
To be honest, I thought only Gray wanted me.
- What? - I thought only he wanted me.
- Simon D was trying to sign you. - I only found out...
- about this now. - Actually, on the show,
we got to see a very dark side of him.
I didn't think much about him,
but in his song, "We Are", he wrote hopeful lyrics...
only he could write. His lyrics were really impressive.
I thought it was non-negotiable. I thought we had to sign him.
I decided to sign him after reading the lyrics.
- I see. - Wheesung was close to Tae Hyun?
- I mean... - They sort of look alike too.
When we were young, we had a few gatherings together.
- I bet he doesn't remember me. - Back then,
- how old were you? - Tae Hyun didn't remember.
It was when I was really popular. It was a long time ago.
- You're still popular. - But you lost contact with him?
- Stop selling yourself short. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you remember him when he was very popular?
I vaguely remember seeing him, but we were always drinking.
- He's always drunk. - But you lost contact with him?
That's not it. It was when I was at my heyday.
I was driving to Rodeo Street.
Tae Hyun was on the street.
I wanted to say hello, so I did.
But to say hello properly,
I should get off my car and park it on the side.
I should run to him and say hello with a deep bow.
- That's the polite way. - I thought I should do that...
as a Korean since we stress on etiquettes.
But I rolled down the window...
and asked where he was going.
(You did that?)
Tae Hyun had to stand up to talk to me.
- That's how we talked. - It must've been a convertible.
- No, it was a Carnival. - Carnival?
It was a Carnival. I made him stand on the street...
and rolled the window down.
- "Tae Hyun". - Tell you what.
Given your angle, you must have been lying down.
You were lying down when you were talking to him.
(He could do that only because it was his heyday.)
I said goodbye to him after having a conversation.
It was the Celebrity Syndrome. I had the Celebrity Syndrome.
- I don't remember at all. - That was...
I bet it ate you up.
- It really did. - It did, didn't it?
- It wasn't like he stayed popular. - These days...
- He hit rough patches after that. - When my name is trending online,
people wonder if I'm still singing.
Here's my observation about Wheesung.
- He did it again. - He keeps downplaying himself.
- Exactly. - I don't think you were like that.
- I didn't lie down, per se. - Of course not.
I didn't go that far.
- There's no way. - I'm sure Tae Hyun thought...
that he was sick or something.
(That could only explain his behavior.)
- But you don't remember at all. - Not at all.
Even until now as long as the junior actors...
don't ignore me and look me in the eye to say hello,
I really don't care.
- That's how you are. - I don't say hello like this.
(Saying hello)
He always does this. When someone approaches him...
- He doesn't want you to come close. - I see.
Gook Jin, do you really wear clothes in small size?
This is what he does.
When people ask him about his size...
"I wear medium."
When I'm really happy to see someone...
(Saying hello)
Whenever Yong Jin is in charge of a comedy segment,
he has a high success rate,
but you said there was a segment you were disappointed with.
Yes, there was this disappointing segment.
My character was a guy who sold Turkish ice cream.
- The one you have to swirl? - They tease their customers.
I wanted to keep trying with that character, so I was disappointed.
- How did you play your character? - I don't remember that.
- Can you show it to us? - You know what?
I made this because I wanted to do it here.
I see. Turkish ice cream.
For this segment, I wore a traditional Turkish outfit.
Turkish ice cream.
Can you ask me for the Turkish ice cream?
- Turkish ice cream, please. - Okay, okay. Here.
You should hold it. You can't, can you?
There's no way. You can catch it if you jump. Jump.
If you jump, I'll jump too.
I really liked this, but I got to do this only once.
- Let me do it one more time. - You know what?
- You should come closer. - He was pretty good...
- with skits from the group. - You should grab it, but you can't.
- Jump. Give it your best shot. - Let me see.
- Let me try. - No.
Then I'll jump too.
- While I do this, I tap his head. - This is funny.
"Stupid, stupid."
- Do you keep doing that? - Goodness, that ice cream.
Let me explain what happened next.
- What happened? - You keep doing that?
There's evidence in the ice cream.
I showed up on the scene of the murder crime,
but when the murderer left car keys,
then the car keys would be on the ice cream. And the detective...
would try to catch it. I'd go, "Try catching it."
"You can't catch it. Stupid, stupid."
Wait, so the murder evidence is on the ice cream?
- It's funny. - It's funny.
Here's how I tease people in the skit.
If someone gets angry and asks for the ice cream,
- Give me the ice cream now. - This is what I'd say. Okay then.
I'll give you a question about proverbs. Solve it if you want it.
- Okay. - Focus. Answer the last part.
- "Bad news..." - "Travels fast."
Don't you feel bad at all?
- This part is funny. - Bad news...
- Don't you feel bad for it? - This is funny.
- Okay, just give me the ice cream. - Stupid, stupid.
- Give it to me. - No, you must grab it.
Jump. You can't catch this.
- Seriously? - That's funny.
It's funny.
(His comedy skit angers his partner.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with four irresistible charms.
"There's No Cure for Falling for These Problematic Men".
Let's start today's special.
The writers asked everyone...
which guest was the most attractive guy.
Everyone named Simon D.
- Really? - Yes.
Why him, Won Jae?
- He's pretty attractive. - He might seem pretentious...
- and strong, - Right.
but I found him really charming because of his delicate sides.
- He is? - One time, he had drinks...
and called me.
He was so drunk. We talked for an hour while he cried.
- Really? - Simon D cried?
He was comforting me.
He told me that he knew that things were tough for me.
But I felt like he was having a hard time.
He told me that he knew that I was going through tough times.
And he cried?
He cried for an hour while saying this.
Are you thinking about starting a new trend,
- rapping while crying? - Seriously.
I mean listen. I don't get why he'd cry.
How were you feeling when you called?
I was having a hard time because of my album.
After my album was released, I thought about him, so I called.
It was when things were tough for me.
That's why I cried while I was on the phone with him.
To be honest, I don't remember much.
- Did you drink before? - Were you drunk?
Yes, I called him after I got drunk.
But Won Jae cried with me too.
- We cried together. - No one had ever done that to me.
Simon D was the first person whoever called and tried to...
comfort me.
I was surprised. And all the piled-up feelings I had...
crumbled down. That's why we both cried.
- Which one of you cried first? - We kept weeping.
Did you record the conversation?
If we did,
- we'd be psychopaths. - Turn the recording on.
Let's use that crying sound...
and make a track with a new rhythm.
- Simon D was... - "Don't Cry, Bro" .
(He made a track, but lost his friends.)
Yong Jin, did you name Simon D...
- They should've recorded it. - as the attractive guy.
When I was voting,
I told them Simon D was the most attractive.
- That's what I think. - Wait, Simon D is older?
He's a year older than I am.
- You were born in 1985? - Yes.
I thought you were about the same age.
- We are around the same age. - We're like friends.
- They are around the same age. - I thought you were older.
We are around the same age.
- We're like friends. - Okay.
I thought you were a year older than he is.
Just like that finger you're holding up, we're off by one year.
- Okay. - The age difference is only a year.
- What's going on here? - My goodness.
- Yong Jin is the best. - You know what?
Digging up the well was the right call.
His improvised lines got much better.
(Thank you, Aunt.)
I chose him as the most attractive guy.
I was surprised when I saw him on "I Live Alone".
- When you perform on stage, - Okay.
he looks at the camera on the side.
- That's just ingrained in him. - That's attractive.
Things people like are part of him.
That's why I named him the most attractive man.
But the thing is that I don't smile...
at the camera to look attractive.
I just did it without forcing anything.
And people said it made their hearts flutter.
It's ingrained in you. I am jealous.
Simon D says that, but he chose himself.
How should I put it?
(He acknowledges his own charms.)
He chose himself as the most attractive guy.
Did he really choose himself?
You also said that you are the most popular member...
of AOMG.
- It's the case these days. - My goodness.
It's the case in the current time...
and atmosphere.
The atmosphere is right these days.
- He let himself go. - I don't know...
when this will end.
- It can't be helped. - Although Wheesung is...
highly attractive,
- he didn't get a single vote. - Do you think that?
- It's disappointing. - Why didn't anyone vote for him?
I am getting used to this treatment.
He is becoming more suited...
for HS Media.
I already experienced what they are experiencing.
They are bound to be like me.
I don't know when I will end up being like him.
Enjoy what you have...
(He can't even finish his sentence.)
Simon D,
after you joined "I Live Alone",
you began to flirt with Park Na Rae.
I wouldn't call it flirting.
When I joined "I Live Alone",
I received a lot of criticism.
The production crew,
Park Na Rae, and Jun Hyun Moo...
are professionals.
To help me adjust to the show,
Na Rae made her move.
Last year, it was Kian84.
This year, it's me.
I didn't reciprocate at first,
but my responses became...
- the talk of the town. - They became the talk of the town.
I simply responded,
"All right."
I didn't say much,
but my sense of presence did all the work.
Yong Jin, you know a lot about Park Na Rae.
I heard that you can tell us...
about her tastes and such.
I say this from observing Na Rae's pattern of dating...
3 or 4 years ago.
Let's say someone said, "You look pretty today."
- It's... - It's a simple remark.
When someone made that kind of a simple remark,
she confessed her love right away.
Seriously.
When someone went, "Na Rae, you look pretty today,"
she confessed her love right away.
She got drunk and confessed her love.
That's what she is doing with Simon D.
She falls in love easily.
That's what she is doing.
- Men should be careful. - That's right.
She is an aggressive forward.
It was the same thing with Se Chan.
"Na Rae, you lost weight. You became prettier."
- He complimented her. - "You skin became clearer."
Then she drank and went,
"You said you like me."
(She latched on.)
"What do you think about me?"
"I like you as well."
She was like that back in the days.
You know the Pop-up Pirate game, right?
The pirate pops up if you insert a sword.
You don't know which man Na Rae will latch onto.
"You became prettier. You lost weight."
Then she pops up.
(If I get my hands on you, we have to go out.)
When Wheesung went to the nightclub back in the days,
his room was on a different level.
- I am sure it was. - How was it?
Before clubs became popular,
people partied behind closed doors at nightclubs.
- Really? - They closed down the nightclub.
They gave me a room.
I partied with well-known actors...
and such.
I lost everything afterward.
I thought it would last forever.
I am starting to think he is suited for HS Media.
I thought it would last forever.
- HS Media. - Don't say that.
Is this program titled "Such Is Life"?
(Wheesung's episode will bring tears to your eyes.)
Among the songs you worked on these days,
which one became a hit?
- TWICE's song. - TWICE's song.
That's not half bad.
- "Dance the Night Away". - It's amazing.
- It placed first. - "Dance the Night Away".
- Really? - It placed first.
Then why are you acting that way?
I never said I am in the gutter.
I am not a loser.
My heart aches to hear you talk about being a has-been.
That word irks me.
If you say that, you will get more malicious comments.
(If you say that, you will get more malicious comments.)
Are comments about being a has-been better than nothing?
- I used to hate those comments. - Things have changed.
I used to get the urge to kill them.
Now, I think those comments are better...
than nothing.
People will write those comments.
I am okay with that. I am serious.
(Those comments are better than nothing.)
Yong Jin,
a rapper, Giant Pink,
- confessed to you publicly. - I read about it.
How did it make you feel?
I had a surprise in the middle of the shoot.
It even made the most searched topic.
It was my first time to experience something like it,
so I was very flustered.
She was cool.
- The rapper's way... - She is straightforward.
- of expressing herself... - She is easygoing.
made me respect her as hip hop musicians say.
An hour after the article came out, you had an interview...
and rejected her.
I am honest.
When people ask me if I have a girlfriend,
I never said, "I don't have a girlfriend."
I have a girlfriend and I don't hide the fact.
Since the articles said that...
Giant Pink wants me...
to contact her privately,
I gave her my answer.
I wasn't playing hard to get.
If a man and a woman want to date someone,
they shouldn't take that kind of an approach.
I think G.P. simply thought,
"He seems to be a nice man."
Why are you calling her G.P.?
- She is in his agency. - She is in my agency.
Really?
(Really?)
You suddenly used a pet name, so I thought,
"She isn't your friend."
If Yong Jin has a girlfriend,
- he never hides the fact. - Yes.
He revealed it on Radio Star two years ago.
I even told a story about her,
but it was edited out.
Are you thinking about marrying her?
Yes, I am.
- In that case... - In that case...
I dated her for six years.
- Six years. - My goodness.
It's a serious relationship.
I hope to become more popular...
through Radio Star...
and prepare for the marriage.
Do you want us to help you?
We can't improve a six-year-old relationship.
I want to become more popular.
Are you making the effort?
- Yes. - The good days will come.
That's right.
Won Jae, when you made advances in the past,
the success rate was at 60 percent.
Now, it's at 100 percent.
That's incredible.
I think Won Jae is the most attractive guy.
Before I was on TV,
I got rejected a lot.
I got rejected a lot...
and got my feelings hurt.
A success rate of 60 percent...
is pretty high.
It changed after the show...
because my charms were revealed on TV.
Women didn't have to know me for a long time...
to know my strong points.
That must be why...
- The success rate went up. - Yes.
Are you seeing someone right now?
Yes, I am.
They decided not to lie...
because of what Yong Jin said.
Your honesty is your charm.
I was single at the time of the preliminary interview.
- What? - Then I got a girlfriend.
- You got a girlfriend recently. - Yes.
- Really? - If the relationship is fresh...
We got back together.
You got back together after a breakup.
- He is very honest. - I can't lie.
In any case...
What will you do if your fans become disappointed?
- What? - Your fans.
- It's better than lying. - His fans won't say that.
Not many fans are like that these days.
My fans like my honesty.
Idol singers have that restriction,
- but he is a hip hop musician. - He is a hip hop musician.
In the preliminary interview,
Wheesung said wise words about being an attractive guy.
"An expert only wriggles his toes..."
"in his shoes."
(An expert's swag)
Should we wear toe socks?
There should be room in the front of the shoes.
I think...
there are various tips.
A woman is a person...
before she is a woman.
"Don't see her as a love interest."
She is a person.
When I see a woman as a love interest,
I become a man who is over-the-top.
That's right.
"Hello."
My words become affected.
It's strange.
When you are at a restaurant, you go,
"Please give me Sprite."
You should remember how you carry yourself then.
"Hello." Then you will look natural.
"Hello."
This is the style of HS Media.
Why do you keep saying that?
Wheesung's ways are outdated.
Seriously.
You mean that it's better to treat her...
as you would treat anyone.
You should go,
"Hello."
Women make their choices...
when they feel comfortable.
Didn't the first "Hello" sound...
more natural?
- The second one was too much. - Listen.
I exaggerated a bit since I am on TV.
I didn't know how to make people comfortable before.
A true expert doesn't say anything.
Does his face do all the work?
If Lee Yong Jin is a woman,
an expert would simply look at her.
What are you looking at?
That's creepy.
What was that?
Gook Jin is ridiculous.
These days,
he says things as he pleases.
- His ways are outdated. - Seriously.
I mean...
Why would you stare at a woman this way?
(He wants to be an expert.)
This is what I think.
A true expert doesn't play by the rules.
- It's ridiculous. - They don't go, "Hello."
Are you continuing to pick on me...
just because I said "Hello"?
- I didn't think you would do that. - We can't help but pick on you.
Go to a busy restaurant with a woman...
and treat her as if you would treat anyone.
- It has to be natural. - I know what you mean.
What you are doing isn't natural.
You keep saying that...
it has to be natural,
but what you are doing isn't natural.
You are trying to be natural.
"Hello."
Seriously.
I think Simon D is the true expert.
- I don't compare to him. - That's right.
- That's ridiculous. - It's like that these days.
There is no one you can compare to.
To be honest,
ever since I joined the entertainment business,
my popularity interfered with my work.
I don't like it.
When I wasn't popular, I was...
- You were better. - I was much better.
I was much better.
I had nothing, but...
Those were the good days.
I had a lot of fun. I was happy.
If you say those words...
when you are doing do well,
people might say that you are arrogant.
- It's a possibility. - That's right.
Wheesung, I guess you really are a master of that.
- Why are you doing this to me? - Do you really...
use women's perfume to see what they like?
- That's... - Right...
It was a reasonable decision.
When I was in middle school,
I had a chance to go into a girl's room.
- To the girls' classroom? - No, just a girl's room.
My friend said...
his friend's parents went on a vacation.
He said, "I'll take you to his place too if you want."
- "You can come with me." - Yes. So I went there.
I was curious about what a girl's room smells like.
- You can be curious. - It smelled...
- really feminine and cute. - Oh, I see.
I could smell it everywhere.
So I thought,
"I should use this perfume too."
- I think he's a bit... - So...
Just think about it.
Did you not think it could affect you in some other way?
- Well, if you want to use it... - It did affect me.
So I thought I should use it.
I got to be close to a lot of girls.
"Isn't that the perfume I know?"
So I said, "I like this scent too."
I tried anything so that I could get close to girls.
Looking at him,
I mean, Wheesung writes lyrics for many girl bands.
- Don't you? - I've done a lot.
I think I can...
- understand why. - Right.
Say you love me
It's the password
(Is that a trot song or what?)
You're my secret boy, boy, boy
- What is that? - This emotion...
- came from that. - But...
people's lives rotate in four beats anyway.
- What? - What are you on about?
- That's... - Seriously?
- There's love, farewell, and tears. - I agree though.
(Wheesung's view of life moves in and out of genres.)
Yong Jin must be really popular.
I heard you're the most popular one among comedians.
In "Comedy Big League", right?
I think so.
He looks like an attractive colleague.
You talk naturally to women, and that's how you became popular.
I think that's what Wheesung was talking about earlier.
He'll tell you more soon.
- Go on. - Let's listen to him.
I'm like...
(It even made Wheesung listen to him carefully.)
(What are his tips to be popular among comedians?)
Yong Jin must be really popular.
I heard you're the most popular one among comedians.
You talk naturally to women, and that's how you became popular.
I think that's what Wheesung was talking about earlier.
He'll tell you more about it now.
- Go on. - Let's listen to him.
I'm like...
I don't try to talk about myself too much.
- So you listen to them more. - Oh, and...
I give them things to talk about.
- Like what? - How?
For example,
if we're talking about our favorite films,
if she says she likes "The Avengers",
- If she says so. - Yes.
I keep listening.
And I ask her things like, "Have you seen 'The Hulk' too?"
So you only bring up a topic.
Yes, I bring up short topics so that we can keep talking.
- Wheesung is... - I've done that too.
It's different from Wheesung. He talks about himself a lot.
(Wheesung talks about himself too much.)
I've asked about Yong Jin to other people.
They said he's really talented and passionate.
I've been thinking about that. I think it is because...
- I don't unnecessarily joke. - Really?
I'm not like a clown.
- What does that mean? - I'm not noisy.
- I see. - I see.
I try not to make stupid jokes.
Who makes stupid jokes? I want to know them to see what you mean.
Tell us about the noisy ones.
- Yang Se Chan is like that. - Oh, he is.
- Jin Ho? - Yes, he's also one of those.
Yang Se Hyung's actually not that noisy.
- He's quiet. - Really?
He used to be really noisy.
But after earning some money,
he became quieter.
He was never a clown.
He was noisy in the past.
- How could he be? - In the past.
It'll trend online later.
"What does being a clown mean?"
- What is it? - Se Hyung is...
not one of those.
The representative one is Kim Young Chul.
- I get it. - That's right.
He really cannot stop talking.
He's actually famous among comedians for that.
(He's famous for being noisy among comedians even.)
Won Jae tries really hard to have your own emotion.
Because of using SNS,
I became a bit of a hipster.
Even when I take a picture,
I always use a low-quality filter.
I always make it show off my own style of emotion.
You intentionally use the low-quality filter.
- That's... - Do you watch 100KB videos too?
I prefer 4:3 ratio,
- which is for old films. - I see.
I have my own rules.
- It has to be low quality. - I see.
It's better if I used flash when I took that picture.
That makes your eyes look red.
- So that it looks a bit strange. - Yes.
The most important thing is a caption.
People write things there.
But you shouldn't make it too unique.
You have to use somewhat unique words,
and it should look cool. You have to think about it a lot.
- That's... - I guess people have concepts.
That's what I like.
- You like retro emotion. - Yes.
- That's when I was really young. - It's trending these days.
It's something new to us.
- Then... - You have MacGyver's hair.
- That's right. - Even here...
- It's Kim Byung Ji's hair. - Kim Byung Ji.
- Kim Byung Ji? - I like Kim Byung Ji.
Every soccer player had that hair.
- Really? I was really young, so... - Yes, for real.
It's something new to me.
- Trends come and go. - I agree.
I did that hair when my third album was released.
- He did that too. - That's one of the things I did.
When your third album was released?
Wheesung must be from the generation between us.
I already did that in the past.
(I did everything a long time ago.)
These four have irresistible charms.
But I heard they are different when they have girlfriends.
I heard you guys are really loyal.
Wheesung, you serve her like she's your queen.
As you can see it from my lyrics,
I serve them so much that I sound pathetic.
I think that reflects...
my nature.
Isn't Jong Shin the best for writing pathetic lyrics?
My lyrics are pathetic for various reasons.
- "Like It" is also... - That's pathetic.
I could relate so much with it.
But my lyrics don't force you...
to have certain feelings.
It was like, "Do you like it? Oh, really?"
- That's a bit annoying. - I see.
I'm always sobbing at the back.
- Your theme is crying. - Yes, I cry at the back.
I don't cry.
- But Wheesung does. - He's determined to cry.
He picks on things.
"Do you like it? Oh, really?"
That's too much.
My lyrics are more like...
"I even thought about marrying you."
- That's what it is. - Did you really think about that?
Well, that's...
I don't know if those words are true or not.
Normally,
with someone you really loved,
it's natural to think about marrying her, isn't it?
Did you think about meeting her family too?
- What? - Meeting her family.
- You have to do that to marry her. - "I thought about..."
- "meeting your family." - That's the right order.
- Did you think about it? - I was...
- only in... - You didn't think about it.
my 20s. So I didn't think about meeting her family then.
- I told you. - I knew it.
If it was only a little while ago, and it was from HS Media,
- I would have thought so. - I see.
- Meeting her family is... - I see.
I guess he can think of meeting her family now.
Anyway, you look mentally exhausted these days.
If I tell you how I evolved,
he's like when I was in high school.
This is when I just debuted and became popular.
This is when I was maintaining that fame.
And this is now.
I'm on a downturn now.
That's now.
People who are being so harsh on themselves like him...
I'm not being harsh.
I haven't seen one for a while after Lee Yoon Seok.
He's being too harsh.
I'm living a good life.
- Of course, we know that. - That sounds more pathetic.
I'm just checking where myself is.
When I was young,
there were some votings to find the best vocalist in Korea.
Wheesung was always the first on my list.
- You just need to be who you are. - His class is...
I was the legend in the past.
- Goodness. - That's too...
- bipolar. - I know, right?
He's too up and down.
There's no middle ground.
- I mean, - "I was very successful before,"
- "but not anymore." - Why would you be like that?
You've been talking about your past the whole time.
- Me? - You're not that old to do that.
- Same goes for me. - You're still active.
- You're in the prime of your life. - Right.
- You're still in the industry. - I made no hit songs in my 30s.
- I made no hit songs. - That's not the point.
- Listen. - That's not true, Wheesung.
- You're legendary despite that. - You make songs for other singers.
You'll be "Password 486" forever.
- That's a very old song. - Is it 386 or 486?
- It's 486. - I see.
Thank you for cheering me up. It gives me strength.
No worries. Listen. Choo Shin Soo was born in 1982.
- Choo Shin Soo... - So was Lee Dae Ho.
Dae Ho is still at his best.
- Right. - They're on a different level.
You only undermined his confidence.
- No one thinks you went downhill. - No one thinks like that.
There's no one who thinks your career is going downhill.
Won Jae, do you think his career is going downhill?
No, I don't. I...
But you feel...
- that he became weird, right? - Yes.
- His self-esteem is very low now. - You see...
Wheesung became weird, but...
I'm a big fan of his.
- It breaks my heart. - The thing is...
- I feel the same way. - His self-esteem is so low.
- He was my idol, but... - You made yourself look bad.
I didn't say that I'm lousy.
- That's not what we're saying. - We never said that you are.
- We didn't say you were lousy. - That's not what I meant.
- I didn't mean it that way either. - We know that.
- I meant I should work hard now. - He was my hero,
but watching his downfall like this...
- "My downfall"? - You guys are making it worse.
He was my idol.
- Of course. - They're trying to comfort you,
but actually, they're discouraging you.
Simon D started his rap career...
because of a girl he had a crush on.
My crush, who was older than me, liked hip hop music.
I wanted to make her love me.
So I started writing rap lyrics without letting others know...
and practiced rapping. There was a hip hop club...
- that she often went to. - You gave a performance there.
It wasn't an adults-only club.
Anyone could go into the club. And I gave a rap performance...
at that club.
It was a different time. His crush liked hip hop music.
- Our generation was different. - We liked different type of music.
Young people around his age like hip hop music.
- That's right. So... - How much older was she than you?
She was two years older than me.
I wonder if she's doing well.
- Her name is Ah Ryun. - Did you win her heart?
- Is her name Ah Ryun? - Yes. I still remember her.
- Did you win her heart? - I think...
- Did you win her heart? - No.
- She only treated me as a friend. - Her name...
makes me feel like you were never meant to be with her.
- It sounds similar to "sorrowful". - Is it her real name?
- Yes. Her name is Ah Ryun. - I was only in middle school.
- Then you can tell us her name... - It feels as if...
she always leaves a man a sorrowful memory...
- because of her name. - That's right.
- Are you out of touch with her now? - Yes, I am.
- That's what I thought. - After she rejected you,
were you not heartbroken?
I wasn't heartbroken. Thanks to her, I acquired rap skills.
I was able to start my career.
Thanks to her, right?
All the songs Wheesung made in five years are about the same person.
- Most of all are. - Are there many songs about her?
I dated her for five years.
You dated her for a long time.
I was in my early 20s.
- Really? - So she left all the lyrics.
I think so.
I couldn't find anything better to use as inspiration.
I need an inspiration to make a new song.
- So I watch a movie or... - And it always comes down to her?
There are many ways to get inspiration, but in fact,
the memories of her give me the most realistic feelings.
We made all sorts of memories.
So I don't really need anything else to get inspiration.
Those memories are enough for you.
- Do you know how she's doing? - Pardon?
- Of course he knows. - She's happily married now.
Did you meet her before you became successful and broke up after that?
- Not intentionally. - You were both newcomers, right?
I met her when I was very successful.
- Really? - I see.
I met her when I was at my best.
I see.
- Then... - When was that?
- From 2002... - That's when he became popular.
- "Can't We", "With Me", and... - Until 2007.
- For five years. - I think...
my popularity lasted between 5 and 6 years.
Until I released "Insomnia".
However, since she left you, your career...
- Things haven't... - You're right.
You should find a new muse.
Well, it would be great if I meet someone new.
- If I meet someone. - You should let things flow.
I don't go around places...
like clubs to find a girl.
- Right. - We didn't think you would do that.
- Who said that? - We didn't say anything.
I just let them notice me. I'm not that desperate.
To be honest, I want people to think of me...
as a musician who works hard.
I also want to show that to myself.
80 percent of what he said here was a resolution.
- That's right. - He keeps saying his resolution.
- I think he set new goals recently. - Right.
(Let's make my way up again!)
Simon D...
has no sexual desire lately.
What happened? What symptoms do you have?
Heo Ji Woong used to talk about this a lot.
For the six months while I was working on my new album,
I barely ate, and I mostly slept in my studio.
As I continued doing so,
I lost my appetite, sexual desire,
and desire to sleep. I practically lost my desire to do anything.
- It's called burnout syndrome. - You must've been stressed out.
- I think it's more serious. - Me too.
- I'm in a more serious condition. - It's more serious than that.
Anyway, that's what happened.
I still haven't gotten...
my appetite back. I'm still recovering.
He lost a lot of weight.
I gained about 2kg or 3kg.
Did you recover that?
- He only recovered his appetite. - Desire for food...
is the same as sexual desire.
Some people recover it first.
You need to eat first...
- to recover it. Right? - No.
If you don't eat anything, you feel weak.
It doesn't always happen in the same order.
- You could recover it first. - Right.
Anyway, I haven't recovered it yet.
- Not just yet. - By the way,
when do you hope you'll get it back?
- Pardon me? - When do you want to get it back?
- What I'm saying is... - Did you recover your appetite?
You could be thinking you'll recover before spring comes.
Or something like that.
I hope I'll get it back soon.
It seems to me...
that around December,
- He'll regain his sexual desire? - your sexual desire...
will start to...
come back slowly.
- That's my prediction. - Pay attention to him in December.
Simon D will regain his sexual desire.
After the kimchi making season.
He will walk around the street...
His mother makes geotjeori,
and he tries a bite of geotjeori.
"It's weird. What's happening to me? I feel weird."
"My goodness." Like this.
While eating geotjeori?
- "Mom." - While eating geotjeori?
"Did you put oyster in geotjeori?"
- "Casanova's favorite, oyster." - My goodness.
Why would he feel that way while eating geotjeori?
There are times like that in life.
Still, you're lucky that you gave everything you had into your album.
Yes. Also, I should focus on my career at this juncture.
When Wheesung's company asked me...
to be featured in a song,
the lyrics of the song were for adults only.
But I wasn't in the right condition to work on a song with that vibe.
- That's why I refused the offer. - Right.
I explained my condition.
Then in December?
- In December... - I'll call you if I've regained it.
If I've regained it...
You're going to have to eat some geotjeori.
All of the lyrics Won Jae wrote on "Show Me the Money 6"...
- include the word "pill". - That's right.
It drew attention. What kind of pill did you mean?
I was talking about medication for anxiety, depression,
and panic attacks.
In my opinion, people have misconceptions...
about psychiatric treatment.
- I think it's like a cold. - You're right.
- Anyone can catch a cold. - Of course.
Some recover from it naturally while others are more vulnerable.
But because of their misconceptions, they take mental health issues...
- or medications too seriously. - That's not necessary.
How many pills do you pop a day?
- I take three pills a day. - I see.
- "Pop pills"? - I'm asking this because...
He pops his pills.
- He pops pills first. - Do you turn it into powder?
(Punching)
Not long ago, I made a promise to myself.
- I thought I should be proud... - Absolutely.
and talk about it naturally to change people's conceptions.
- So I told myself. - Good thinking.
- I don't have to be ashamed of it. - It's...
- Have you taken medications for it? - It's a temporary...
I've been taking medications since I was younger than he is now.
(Wheesung was diagnosed with it at a younger age.)
I don't think it develops further than...
temporary avoidance.
It seems that it depends on your mindset after all.
Simon D, have you ever taken medications like this?
The symptoms you told us about...
- He has the symptoms of it. - sound like the symptoms of it.
I tried to avoid taking medications.
I didn't want to give in.
Although I took a lot of sleeping pills,
I couldn't bring myself to take other medications.
I was afraid it might make it even worse.
I'm sorry to say this, but since they all said they took medications,
- I feel like I should do it too. - Today's theme...
- is "Pharmacy Special". - I...
am a very positive person.
I... Listen to me. I am really cheery.
I don't get stressed out easily. I'm a happy person.
He has a low self-esteem, and he has no sexual desire.
And he's been taking medications. I feel like...
- Take omega-3 supplements at least. - I should take vitamins at least.
I'm only drinking this almond drink.
This can't be good enough for me.
- So now... - In fact,
Tae Hyun has been suffering from it for a long time.
- Well... I was... - He...
- Did Tae Hyun take medications too? - Yes, he did.
- I took medications... - He's the first generation.
That's ridiculous.
- He's the 1st generation? - He's the 1st generation to do so.
- It's been a long time. - Everyone else but me takes pills.
Yong Jin went to a waxing salon for a wax to keep up with the trend,
but he was only shocked and ran out of the salon.
That's true. I have a friend who is a comedian.
And he opened a waxing salon.
So I visited his salon to congratulate him.
But I had always wanted to try it at least once.
- Brazilian wax? - Yes.
It took me a lot of courage to decide to try it.
I told him I'd try it on the opening day.
I got myself prepared for it.
The waxing expert was a woman.
She said she was a huge fan of mine.
(She said she was my fan.)
She said, "I watch your comedy skits..."
"several times a day."
(She watches his comedy skits every day.)
Since she said that...
(Laughing)
- I couldn't bring myself to... - You couldn't reveal it.
(You couldn't reveal it.)
- What do you mean by that? - You must've been embarrassed.
That's right. I felt uncomfortable to show my naked body.
- It was hard to speak to her. - That's right.
That's what I meant.
Do you have to be naked no matter what?
- Yes. - Really?
- You have to be completely naked. - Really?
Just like a baby.
So...
(Mr. Lee, please take off all of your clothes.)
- I contemplated a lot. - You did?
But I couldn't overcome it in the end.
I wish she had told him that while she was waxing his body.
- But that would be... - Or after she was done.
"In fact, I am..."
(It's a shame that she told him that she was his fan first.)
Wheesung will release a new song soon.
That's right.
- Is that so? - What is the theme?
The song title is "In Space".
- "In Space". - The song title is "In Space".
It's about a man saying, "Even if we're alone..."
"in empty space,"
"I'll protect you despite the dark and danger."
"I'll never let you go."
(It's such romantic lyrics.)
That's what the song is about.
So the genre of this song...
should be called space rhythm and blues?
No.
(They could travel to space through the song.)
That's not a bad idea.
There was a music genre called space rock.
- Space rock? - Yes.
- Call it space rhythm and blues. - Well... It's not a bad idea.
- Don't you like how it sounds? - Well, yes.
- I'll try to make it a new genre. - Great.
Let me ask you a question.
What genre is your new song?
The genre of this song...
is called 2018 space rhythm and blues.
- It's not bad. - Right?
There will be semi space rhythm and blues.
My gravity-free vocalization will mesmerize you.
- Are you adding to it? - "Gravity-free vocalization".
(It seems that Wheesung's space rhythm and blues will be a big hit.)
Yong Jin said...
that Na Rae stole his idea for a comedy skit.
- I was disappointed in her. - She stole your idea?
It was my story.
- She shouldn't have done it. - On what show did she use it?
She made people laugh with it on "I Live Alone".
- Did she? - Yes.
I'll tell you the original story.
I did a comedy skit called "Green Night".
- It was set in Hongdae. - I remember that.
Since we planned the comedy skit,
we had to go to Hongdae to do research.
So I went to Hongdae with my fellow comedians.
Those who were born earlier than 1985 weren't allowed to enter...
- some bars in Hongdae. - That's right.
I was born in 1985. I made the cut.
You can't go in to a bar?
- No. - So middle-aged men can't go there?
- They have age requirement. - For older people.
- Yes. - At a restaurant?
- It's a bar for young people. - It's a bar.
What kind of restaurant has age restriction?
(No restaurant would have age restriction.)
If Gook Jin goes there, they must think he's taking over the bar.
That's right.
(They must think he'll take over the bar.)
I was allowed to enter the bar.
But one of the comedians I was with...
was Oh In Taek who played Woong Yi's mom in "Woong Yi's Father".
He was born in 1983.
I see.
They were strict about their rules.
"You're not allowed to enter this bar."
So In Taek said, "I'm sorry,"
"I'm a comedian..."
- But it didn't work. - He wasn't allowed to enter.
He said, "I didn't mean to say this,"
"but I played in 'Woong Yi's Father' before."
The staff at the bar said,
"You really shouldn't do this if you're a father."
- That's funny. - And Na Rae...
told the story on "I Live Alone".
- It's a really funny story. - Exactly.
While I was watching "I Live Alone", I thought,
"Na Rae should've thought of her position."
"She shouldn't have stolen my story."
Wheesung has something he wanted to say on Radio Star today.
He wants to explain what Junjin said when he was on Radio Star before.
- What did Junjin say? - That...
He exaggerated the story so much.
- Oh, the reserve forces training? - Really.
- Oh, that story? - Looking at his face,
I can see he's determined to talk about this.
- He looked so scary for a moment. - He looked spiteful.
I was shocked when I saw the episode.
- What's the truth? - I was shocked. He said...
- at the reserve forces training, - That's right.
- he met me, - I see. Go on.
and I suggested...
- he should do some vocal training. - That's right. He said that.
"No. That's not how you do it."
- "Try again." - That's right.
- "Whee, whee." - That's right.
He said I made him do that.
(He revealed the vocal lesson at the reserve forces training.)
(Humming)
Most celebrities wear a mask...
at the reserve forces training.
We try to lay low.
Standing out there...
wouldn't do us any good.
So didn't you say anything like that?
- You must've met Junjin. - Listen to me.
(What is the truth?)
- I'll tell you the facts. - Okay.
I like Junjin.
- So let's just confirm the facts. - Okay.
- Did you meet Junjin there? - Yes.
(What's the truth about the vocal lesson?)
(Junjin said Wheesung came up to him and complimented his voice.)
Someone poked me.
I turned around to see him.
He covered his face up to here with a mask.
His hairstyle wasn't unusual.
But when I looked at his eyes,
I could tell that he was the person who had ptosis surgery.
- He's telling everything. - He was Junjin.
Anyone would've recognized him.
(Junjin with fierce eyes reached out to him first.)
"It's me." His eyes were telling me it was Junjin.
So...
(Junjin said Wheesung taught him saying he could defeat Kim Bum Soo.)
- That's funny. - Really?
He said, "In fact, I've been having trouble..."
"singing in falsetto."
"What should I do?"
"Hear me singing."
"Did I do it right?"
I said, "No. Not like that."
"Try to sing like this."
"You can change your voice like this."
Then he said, "I get it. Hear me singing again."
(Junjin got close to him.)
"Like this?"
His face was this close to my face.
How could I not have show him how to sing?
So I sang a little to help him out.
Then a few people turned around to see us.
That's all that happened.
- Nothing much happened. - But he said that I was like,
"You know what? You can beat Kim Bum Soo."
He said I spoke to him like this.
Let me explain why Junjin had to exaggerate it.
Exaggerating a story to that extent...
He must've tried to survive.
(He must've tried to survive.)
But I'm here to survive too.
(But I'm here to survive too.)
All right. I see what you mean.
You've made your point.
Junjin did a good job in telling that story.
He made the story interesting.
Do you think he did a good job? I was a little surprised.
Don't you think it's understandable?
What I just said is the truth.
What I learned here today is that I should exaggerate my stories.
- It's necessary. - That's right.
- Even if it makes someone angry. - Exactly.
It was actually a boring story.
(Exaggerating a story is essential.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who haven't seen their charms.
"The Song to Sing to Mesmerize You".
First, shall we hear the song that Wheesung chose?
(What song did Wheesung choose?)
It's a good song.
- The song title is "Radio Star". - What song is this?
He made this song to celebrate his appearance on Radio Star.
I thought it was...
- "Radio Star"? - Did you make this song?
- You made it for Radio Star? - I hadn't been invited...
to Radio Star since 2011.
So I wanted to do my best on the show today.
So I made this song, "Radio Star".
- Great. - That's amazing.
(They love it.)
- I'm impressed. - Also, I heard that Simon D...
and Won Jae would be here too,
- It's a rap song, right? - and Yong Jin also...
raps in his comedy skits.
- So I included a rap part. - That sounds great.
Let's here Wheesung's "Radio Star".
Give me the beat.
(He wipes the smile off his face.)
("Radio Star" by Wheesung)
(Realslow slowly begins.)
(My face may look old, but my music is young)
(I may sing off pitch, but I have an awesome voice)
(Who calls me washed up?)
(I'm strong, go ahead and criticize me all you want)
(I always make sure I do whatever I want)
(I began as a backup dancer, but I'm the head of a label now.)
(I have so much influence)
(I'm Realslow on stage, I still make a lot of money)
(And I never lie)
(I've been sentenced to life imprisonment in this industry)
(From "Can't We" and "With Me")
(To "Even Thought of Marriage" and "Heartsore Story")
(It's a story that would make you jealous)
(I still spend all night with music)
You'll get a good meme.
You did well.
Simon D, what do you think about Wheesung's performance?
I had already heard his rap...
in his old albums, so I knew it.
- He was great. He can be a rapper. - Thank you.
- The lyrics were very creative. - That was amazing.
- I put your names in the lyrics. - Exactly.
- I liked the song very much. - Gu Ra and me.
I hope he'll perform this song at clubs in the future.
- I love Wheesung. - Okay.
- I'll do that. - That'd be great.
Now, shall we hear the song that Simon D chose?
("Feels Like the First Time" by Lee So Ra)
It's Lee So Ra's "Feels Like the First Time".
That means he won't rap today.
Today,
I want to sing a ballad song.
This is an unexpected song choice...
- for Simon D. - This is one of the songs...
I sing at a karaoke...
- to impress women. - I see.
He sings "Can't We" really well too.
- He's sung the song before. - I love that song.
He's really good at singing.
Shall we hear Simon D singing "Feels Like the First Time"?
("Feels Like the First Time" sung by Simon Dominic)
(Simon D wins the ladies' hearts at the karaoke.)
(He already won this lady's heart.)
(Simon D obtained one lady's heart.)
(He's collecting ladies' hearts in his bag.)
(As I once looked so thin and weak,)
(if you turned your face around,)
(please forget how I looked.)
(Cheerful energy)
(Now, I give off cheerful energy all the time.)
(Unlike the way he looks when he raps powerfully,)
(he shows off his sensitive side.)
(His lady fans are shedding tears.)
(I love you just the way I did at the first time we met)
- He's good at singing. - I'm impressed.
He's good at singing.
He's a great singer.
- I was so nervous. - It was amazing.
Did you like his performance?
I think...
he's so much better than...
those who brag about their singing skills...
- and vocal trainers. - Thank you.
- He conveyed the emotion well. - Exactly.
Today's theme...
was "There's No Cure for Falling for These Problematic Men".
Before we wrap up, could you say something...
to your future girlfriend?
- That's unexpected. - Wheesung.
I probably have a lot of problems.
I have a lot of flaws.
He's depressed again.
- But we can... - He was upbeat just before.
By the time when I meet you,
I think I'll have become more relaxed and wiser.
So I'm looking forward to meeting you.
- It was a heartfelt proposal. - My goodness.
- It was good. - Simon D.
Shouldn't he regain his sexual desire first?
Honey, I'm taking a lot of medications right now.
Well...
I'll just say...
I'll eat whatever you want for dinner tonight.
- That's so cool. - He's like a dating master.
Also, he was thinking of the near future.
He was thinking about this evening.
(He's so cool.)
- It was so cool. - He's so cool.
I may be weak and rely greatly on you right now,
but I'm going to become reliable and independent eventually.
You don't have to worry about me.
(Romantic)
- Yong Jin. - He must be under pressure.
- He has a girlfriend. - Exactly.
He's been dating her for six years.
I hoped that my appearance on Radio Star...
would be a chance to take my career to the next level.
And I made a lot of plans for our future.
I wanted to do many things and make a lot of money,
but I think the time hasn't come yet.
Why would he say that?
I was invited to the show two years ago and this year.
I'll probably have another good chance two years from now.
(Laughing)
Anyway, thank you.
Have you fallen for these four charming men?
But remember you shouldn't fall for me.
Well... I'm taken.
I can't believe you wrote the closing comment like this.
Until the day when everyone falls in love with Radio Star,
we'll continue to show you our charms.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
