The wind is perfect.
The air feels different in Gangwon Province.
(Instead of building forests,)
(it's a great nature full of phytoncide.)
(They're visiting Gangwon Province to greet autumn.)
- Right? - It's nice. I feel great.
- Should I say it's fresh? - Yes, right.
- The air feels fresh. - I agree.
When I hopped off, it felt different from Seoul.
It feels like the air has sparkling.
It's refreshing and it sparkles inside me.
Even the sky looks different.
I visit Yongpyong from time to time,
- It's nice. - but every time I come,
- I wish I had a pension here. - That'd be nice.
If you open one, I'll come visit.
Right, Seung Gi. Buy me one of those.
- Which one? - That costs three million dollars.
- "Three million dollars." - Buy me one.
Let me benefit from you, Seung Gi.
Manager. Bring my credit card.
- I'm buying three today. - Do single payment.
- 3 in the front row. - That's 9 million dollars.
- This is a ski resort. - That's right.
- "Ski resort." - I've never seen this.
- Me too. - This is new.
This place is famous for taking the gondola up there,
and seeing the view in the mountain.
Even if he spreads it out for 36 years, it's 20,000 dollars a month.
(It's 20,000 dollars for 36 years.)
He calculated it.
Seriously. What is he doing?
Were you calculating?
- I was curious. - I see.
You mean 36 years, not 36 months, right?
- Even for 36 years... - Sang Yun...
- Goodness. - Seriously.
Sang Yun is...
I never imagined it.
I think he's going after a new entertainer award this year.
- Really? - A new entertainer award.
To win a new entertainer award, you need to try harder.
- You're cold. - That's not enough.
(Sang Yun. Put more effort for the new entertainer award.)
- By now... - What is that?
It's the first hint on the master today.
It's a cassette.
Isn't that a radio?
- What is that? - A radio and a cassette.
Do people still make this?
I haven't seen a tape in a very long time.
Let's see.
(They start as usual and check the master's schedule first.)
- What is that? - "Master's Double Life?"
- What is that? - "A and B?"
(The schedule is separated into A and B.)
Does his blood type change?
Come on.
- I think he's right. - What a fresh idea.
- His tendency changes. - Hey.
It might be his tendency.
- Tendency? - A and B are the opposite.
Multiple personality?
(Master A and Master B)
He was timid, then he becomes cheerful.
Right.
There must be something.
Oh, wait.
There's A and B on the tape.
- Oh, you're right. - Do we have to listen to it?
- It's A in front. - B on the back?
- Oh, you're right. - This is...
Today's master has a perfect double life...
going between Gangwon Province and Seoul.
That's what it means.
- "Double life?" - "Double life?"
You're well aware of...
the master's A side.
It's what we're familiar with.
What we know of his tendency is A.
Is this the A side?
- Probably. - Yes.
- I'm playing it. - I ate too much.
It's A.
(Playing A side)
1, 2, 3.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Applause?)
Is it a get-together?
Well done.
- Didn't he just say, "Well done?" - "Well done?"
(They have no idea from listening to it.)
I have no idea what they're saying.
He's very excited.
- What is this? - He's very excited.
Is he practicing for a performance or something?
(Is Master A an enthusiastic veteran performer?)
It sounds like a get-together.
I know.
(Is Master A an exciting get-together mania?)
I think he's praised a lot.
(Is Master A a celebrity who is used to applause and cheers?)
He's praised and receives applause.
Anyway, I think he works with many people.
Let's talk after listening to the B side.
B is about his secret private life...
that has never been revealed.
There was nothing good about finding something secret.
(Anyway, his secret private life is revealed for the first time.)
Let's listen to B.
(Playing B side)
- It's the dog barking. - A dog is barking.
Is that the water running?
Water and a dog.
- A bird. - A bird.
(It's full of mysterious sounds.)
(What is this?)
It sounds like a dog barking.
Anyway, when he goes back to B,
- it's nature. - He's in a noisy nature.
- Nature. - It's nature.
(A showy celeb who lives in cheers)
(His secret private life behind it?)
Next is the call hint.
If the master is famous, this person might be famous too.
(It already feels analog from the ringtone.)
- It's old. - Even the song...
- Hello? - Hello?
- Hello. - Hello. We're All the Butlers.
How have you guys been?
You guys are my colleagues.
I can just tell by your voice that it's you, Noh Sa Yeon.
Your voice made it so obvious.
We couldn't help but notice that it was you.
(Today's hint giver is the beloved singer, Noh Sa Yeon.)
It's so nice to meet you guys.
- Nice to meet you too. - Have you been well?
Is Seung Gi there too?
- Yes, he's right beside me. - Yes, I'm right here.
I loved your song, "Because You're My Girl."
It's been said that the girl is you, Sa Yeon.
- So I was... - Yes.
very excited when I heard that song for the first time.
Seung Gi says that he's going to sing "Because You're My Girl"...
for you right now.
(Seung Gi will be singing "Because You're My Girl" live for you.)
It's been a very long time since the last time I sang it.
- Do it for Sa Yeon. - Okay.
Thank you.
(Sa Yeon, because you're my girl)
Because you're my girl
(I'll call you by you)
(Sa Yeon is contributing to the song.)
- Our meeting - He sounds so awkward.
(He's singing Sa Yeon's song, "Meeting" to get a hint.)
(Exclaiming)
- Are you happy? - Did you like that?
- Did you like it? - I loved it.
- If you're happy, make some noise. - Make some noise.
Put your hands up.
(Making noise)
My goodness.
I'm so happy right now.
As you're happy right now,
please tell us who our master is going to be today.
(Se Hyeong is trying to get her to reveal who the master is.)
- You guys must be very curious. - For sure.
But you have to know the relationship between us first.
What kind of relationship are you in with the master?
1st of all, I've been his female friend for 30 years.
- A female friend? - Then he must be a guy.
- He has to be a guy. - Yes.
I've also slept...
in the same place with him.
(She slept in the same place with him.)
- You slept in the same place? - In the same place?
Yes. But...
he had a knife underneath his pillow.
He slept with a knife?
- A knife? - Yes, underneath his pillow.
To prevent something from happening?
(The master slept with a knife to prevent something from happening.)
He was certainly scared of many things.
(The master was scared of many things.)
Did you know that...
the master is living a double life?
Yes, he's living a double life.
From the clues we were given,
he is surrounded by the audience who are giving a round of applause.
Yes, he's a legendary figure...
who is even written in a high school textbook.
You mean his songs?
It could be.
We now know that he's a singer for sure.
I have no idea how you guys figured it out.
- He's in a high school textbook? - A high school textbook?
How popular was he back in the days?
Don't get me started.
(Don't get me even started.)
Nobody nowadays could be compared to the popularity...
he had back in the days.
He was that popular?
I told you he's a legend and...
I wouldn't have been his friend for so long if he wasn't that popular.
(He's a popular singer who stole her heart?)
Can you confidently say that...
he has over 10 hit songs?
- Isn't 10 too many? - Sure, he does.
- He has over 10 hit songs? - Of course he does.
(The master has over 10 hit songs?)
Yes, he does.
- For real? - Really?
Having 10 hit songs is a big deal. It's almost like Cho Yong Pil.
You just surprised me.
(She was surprised.)
Is it Cho Yong Pil?
(Did Seung Gi guess the master correctly?)
- It can't be. - That can't be true.
- Is it really him? - It can't be.
That really narrowed the range of possible figures.
It really does as there's not a lot of figures similar to Cho Yong Pil.
Do you want another clue?
- Yes. - Please give us another clue.
You guys should bring some carrots when...
you guys are on your way to see him.
- Carrots? - I see.
Yes, bring some carrots.
- Carrots? - He would really like them.
- That's very random. - I wonder who he is.
Who could it be?
(Laughing)
- I was just kidding. - Okay.
He's at Yongpyong.
(I know who he is.)
(What do the carrots imply?)
If you have time in the future,
please be on our show as couple masters.
That would be so much fun.
Sounds good. Please have us on the show later.
- Thank you. - What could we learn from you guys?
Could you tell us how to live happily in a marriage?
I actually have no idea how to do that.
(Don't look back)
I don't know.
(Don't regret)
Anyways, thank you so much for today. It's early in the morning.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
- You're welcome. - Thank you. We love you.
Goodbye.
- My gosh. - What do the carrots mean?
I haven't heard them in a long time.
Does the master have a horse?
(That was close.)
- That could be the case. - No...
Yes, he might have a horse.
(Se Hyeong is winking at Seung Gi.)
- There is a high chance. - Okay.
Didn't you want to say something, Seung Gi?
No, it's nothing.
I think I actually figured out who he is.
- Do you know who he is too? - I just figured it out...
from all the clues that she gave us. Legend, 10 hit songs, and carrots.
- He surely has over 10 hit songs. - For sure.
- Definitely. - Would I know him too?
- Of course you do. - Everyone knows him.
I'm sure you sang his songs in karaoke many times.
What songs do I usually sing in karaoke?
(Everyone understood the meaning of carrots now.)
- Carrots. - What's with the carrots?
So there was a reason for...
- meeting in the field. - That's right.
He could eat the grass while shooting the show.
Is one of his songs called "Carrot"?
(Seong Jae still can't figure out after the explicit clues.)
The master is waiting for you guys at the peak of the mountain.
- What? - He's waiting for us?
Yes.
(He's waiting for us right now?)
(At the peak of the mountain?)
You have to go to the peak of the mountain...
- with a gondola lift. - Sounds good.
- With a gondola lift. - Sounds good.
(What a relief.)
(Seong Jae is happy that he will be going up with a gondola lift.)
He really hates hiking.
I just really love the gondola lift.
(It's not that he hates hiking, but he really loves the gondola lift.)
(Let's go and find out the master with the gondola lift ride.)
- Let's go. - Let's go.
I'm also happy that we're going to go up with the gondola lift.
I still don't understand what the carrots stand for.
(Who will be the master whom...)
(Seong Jae does not know about?)
Carrots?
(Carrots?)
How are carrots related to who the master is?
It's my first time going on the gondola lift in fall.
On the count of 3. 3, 2, 1.
- Let's sit. - My goodness.
Let's go.
- Watch your legs. - Okay.
Okay. I got it.
- It feels nice. - Yes, I like it.
I feel like we're on a trip right now.
It's nice to be on the lift when it's not snowing.
- Yes, I like it this way. - Yes.
- I'm so excited. - Me too.
I'm very excited.
- For sure. - Humans should really appreciate...
nature and interact with it.
- We need nature around us. - I agree.
I really like the beginning...
of the meeting with the master.
Look at the view of the nature.
(The green field ahead...)
(looks very beautiful.)
I wonder what we're going to do today.
Can you hear the sound of the insects?
(So does the cloud in the sky.)
It's been such a long time since I heard the sound of insects.
- You can't hear them in Seoul. - I know.
(Because the master invited them to this place...)
It's so nice.
(they can enjoy this harmony of nature.)
This is really nice.
- Are we going up the mountain... - Yes.
just to meet the master?
Or is it also because of...
his double life?
I think it also has to do with the dual life he's living.
In my opinion,
there will be something more than just meeting the master.
I know, right? The peak of the mountain has to mean something.
Something special.
(The master seems already prepared for his plans.)
- Does he like coming down? - Do you know much about him?
I can say with confidence that...
this will be the first time sharing his personal life on television.
- He never shared his personal life. - He only showed his performances.
- I know. - Right.
Also, he only showed his voice.
This is only true if he's the one in my mind.
If he's not the person in our minds, we have to hide our disappointment.
Okay.
- Don't act disappointed. - We haven't called his name yet.
Let's just say "you-know-who."
(They have finally arrived to meet the VIP master,)
(who is more valuable than the magnificent view from the lift.)
- Hello. - Hello.
We have to get off like this.
Yes, we should.
- Also, we have to... - Like this?
You have to push like this.
Like this.
Yes, that's how you do it.
Let's go skiing some time.
(They have succeeded on arriving to the peak.)
- We are here. - Where is he?
Where could he possibly be?
(Where is the master?)
(There are only grass and soil.)
Where is he?
(Is this hide-and-seek?)
Do we have to go that way?
Is there usually a road like this?
- There isn't a road here. - Do we have to go this way?
I don't think we can go there because there's a hill.
(Why did he invite us here?)
Is he mowing the lawn as a hobby or something?
(Does the master mow the lawn as a hobby here?)
Is he doing beekeeping?
- Maybe he flies the helicopter. - I hear the sound of axing.
Master, where are you?
You can't hide from us. We came all the way up here to find you.
- We should... - Hello.
The master wanted this to be delivered to you guys.
- This? - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- What is that? - Where did this come from?
(A mysterious man delivered a message from the master.)
I left after waiting for you guys.
Come down on the yellow sled, and let's meet at the halfway down.
(From Master)
Tell them to meet halfway down.
(He's going down the mountain with a mountain bike.)
(Catch me if you can.)
(He's racing down the rough roads...)
(in the mountain like a tough guy.)
(Who is this tough master going down the mountain?)
I think you guys will see it on your way.
We're riding that sled.
The master sure demands a lot of things from us.
(The members will be riding the sled on a smooth rail...)
(instead of riding a mountain bike on a rough road.)
- Let's go. - Be careful.
- Let's go! - Be careful.
It's accelerating.
(They ride the high-speed sled...)
(to catch up with the master who is a mountain biker.)
(Has he lost his mind?)
He's so excited.
(Se Hyeong is excited.)
(Seong Jae leaves too.)
This feels so much faster.
(Screaming)
It's so fast.
(Wobbling)
It's accelerating.
(Seung Gi goes down the mountain to meet the master too.)
(He holds onto the bar tightly.)
It's fast. It's so fast.
(His mouth is accelerating too.)
It's fast.
(Input: high-speed sled)
(Output: excitement)
We have to find the master.
(By the way, we have to find the master.)
We have to find the master. Where is Se Hyeong?
Se Hyeong!
(I am not in the position to answer back.)
(Indulged in the thrill of the sled,)
(he missed the master right in front of him.)
(The master is far away again.)
(The mountain path is rugged,)
(but he looks calm.)
Is this okay? What's this?
(They miss the master again.)
(They are all following me well, right?)
(They can't catch the master...)
(because they are busy trying not to lose their minds.)
(What? Wait.)
(I think I saw something.)
Is the master here?
Best driver.
I hear something.
Did you see the master?
I think someone just passed by.
Master.
(They stop the sled for a while...)
Master.
(and listen to the background noise.)
Look.
It sounds like something is breaking.
Look.
In the woods...
(In between the woods,)
(a strange mountain biker is seen.)
Is he the one?
Is he a mountain biker?
(Passing by the camera)
(The strange mountain biker might be their master.)
I think he is the master. He just stopped.
(He suddenly braked.)
It's that man who was riding a mountain bike?
- Doesn't he look like the master? - He was like a professional.
They told us that we can meet him in the middle.
He's the only one we've met.
- Should we go there and get off? - I think that's the master.
Let's leave the sleds here and go there.
What's this?
(We safely filmed with the help of the facility manager.)
If the person on a mountain bike is the master,
he might not be the person I am thinking of.
That's why I am confused.
(Is the man I know this exciting?)
- It's... - Did he take this path?
This is the path he went down on the bike.
- This path? - Yes.
I have never ridden a mountain bike.
Someone is standing there.
There he is.
(Who is this rough man?)
I think he is our master.
It's him.
- At first... - He's the one on the bike.
I was right.
- Today's... - He's got really thick calves.
His calves are unbelievable.
It's...
(His calves as strong as horse's are perfect for the rough riding.)
He looks like a really young man.
I know.
Are you...
- Are you our master? - Are you the master?
- Master? - Master?
(Turning around)
- Who are you? - Who are you?
(He hid his face under a helmet.)
Who are you?
(Who is this great master?)
(Gasping)
Why are you suddenly gasping?
(Why is he suddenly gasping?)
(He's pretending that he just arrived.)
- You are acting, aren't you? - Isn't that acting?
- Who are you? - Who could he be?
We can't see your face.
(Is it really him?)
I am right.
(Who is the master with a double life?)
(They are very happy to see him.)
(Those who predicted it to be him...)
Hello.
(and Seong Jae who didn't have a clue...)
(are all happy to see the master.)
No way.
Hello.
(The master is the national star.)
(He's the living history of Korean ballad music.)
(He's a triple million seller.)
(He's the legendary musician...)
(who is in a high school textbook too.)
(He's the national singer and national host.)
(He's the host of "Starry Night",)
(the Minister of Night.)
(He is Lee Moon Sae, the national superstar.)
(However, today,)
(his double life we didn't know about will be exposed.)
(The national star L's shocking truth will be revealed.)
(For the first time, master's sanctuary will be revealed on TV.)
(Goodness.)
(There is a secret space.)
(Be quiet.)
(You can't do this.)
(Should it have been kept as a secret?)
(Even the disorderly side of him will be revealed.)
(Is this a dream?)
You rode the mountain bike.
(They can't believe their master is the emperor of ballad music.)
- Welcome. - Hello, sir.
- It's a big honor. - Hello, sir.
Please welcome Mr. Lee Moon Sae.
- Let's greet him properly. - Let's greet him.
- Let's greet him. - We will greet you.
- We will greet you in our style. - Right.
There's something we do.
It's very nice to meet you, sir.
- We are All the Butlers. - We are All the Butlers.
(All the Butlers)
I am not used to these things.
We are not used to it either.
We didn't do it in front of some.
- We feel awkward too. - We thought you wouldn't mind.
By the way,
I never thought you'd enjoy sports like this.
You were so agile that...
we didn't think it was you.
- Did you think that? - Yes.
(He was like a red horse in the wild mountain of Gangwon.)
You were going down the mountain so fast.
I thought you were a professional biker.
I live a double life.
- Right. - This is...
- This is Type B, isn't it? - Type B.
Type B is my life in the mountains.
It's all about healing myself.
My life in Seoul is like a digital life.
This is an analog life.
(His analog life has been covered under the veil.)
It's lovely.
When it's not winter season,
mountain bikers come here...
and enjoy riding mountain bike.
That's mountain bike.
In my case, I've been riding the mountain bike for 20 years.
That long?
(He's been riding the mountain bike for 20 years.)
Anyway,
don't you want to get a taste of it?
I...
- love it. - Yes.
You have to wear the safety gears though.
- Of course. - You have to.
It's like an insurance.
Like this.
I think it will be fun.
- It's going to be fun. - Yes.
You look like Iron Man.
You look great.
(It was safely filmed under the guidance of an instructor.)
It's tough.
- You have a nice form. - Go, Seung Gi.
Don't be goofy.
- Okay. - Focus.
- You have to focus. - Okay.
Your body shouldn't lean too forward or too backward.
- You have to... - Roll your torso.
roll your torso.
- Roll your torso completely. - Okay.
- Okay? - Okay.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
Let's go.
Okay. Let's go.
This is going to be fun.
(They follow the master.)
Let's go.
(The bike runs fast.)
This is amazing.
(They are very excited.)
(Instead of the rugged mountain path,)
(they take the slope for beginners.)
This is amazing. So this is how you do it.
This is how it feels.
It's simple.
(They are enjoying the speed.)
(This is exciting.)
This is really fun.
(It's faster than I thought.)
- Let's go. - Focus.
- Don't be goofy. - Okay.
- This is so fun. - Don't be goofy.
Jump.
(The youngest is very excited, and Se Hyeong is very nervous.)
(They love it.)
Don't be goofy.
(Shivering)
My gosh, this is...
This is really fun.
(This is the master's analog life.)
(It's riding the bike in the green field...)
(and feeling the curve of the earth, sunshine, and wind.)
(Se Hyeong has lost his mind.)
- This is really scary. - My gosh.
(Se Hyeong is terrified.)
(He never knew the analog life was going to be this scary.)
This is... My gosh.
This is really fun.
(Seong Jae is waking up his racing instinct.)
This is amazing.
(He passes the up-hill course...)
(with a light jump.)
This is amazing.
(Seong Jae was a natural born biker.)
This is...
(Se Hyeong arrives safely.)
(Seung Gi arrives safely too.)
(Well done, guys.)
Well done.
(The analog life was full of thrill.)
That was... Master.
That was so fun.
- This is... - I want to ride it again.
Can't I ride it one more time?
- This is really fun. - This is really fun.
It makes you focus like crazy.
- It is fun, but... - Master...
But it's really scary.
Because I got nervous, my ring finger and...
- They hurt, don't they? - and little finger hurt.
- Your whole body gets strained. - Right.
This is a great core exercise.
- It feels really fast. - It's really fast.
Do you want to ride it again?
From the top?
Do you want to get the full experience?
No. No.
I am actually very timid and cowardly.
That's what I am usually like.
I do this extreme sport to break away from that.
- I challenge myself. - I see.
- Everyone hates getting hurt. - Right.
And when you get hurt, it hurts.
Everyone hates that.
- When you get hurt, it hurts. - When you get hurt, it hurts.
When you get hurt, it hurts too much.
(Moon Sae's word of wisdom is that when you get hurt, it hurts.)
Anyway, this is the beginning of the analog life.
I love it.
From start to end, you will enjoy...
- the analog life. - analog.
It feels too luxurious for an analog life.
These are all rented, so we have to return them.
Do we have to return these? Aren't these gifts for us?
- No. - I should reattach the tag.
I will give you a 10 percent discount.
(analog is not possessing anything.)
- We will move to another place. - What are we doing next?
- We are going to Bongpyeong. - Bongpyeong.
- Bongpyeong. - I have a sanctuary there.
(Before going to his secret sanctuary...)
I will take you to a buffet.
I am hungry.
I just got hungry.
- Buffet. - analog buffet.
- It's analog buffet. - analog buffet.
- What is that? - Doesn't it sound amazing?
(What is that?)
Just trust me and follow me.
Okay. We will.
- Let's go to the buffet. - To the buffet.
We finally get to eat.
- I've been really hungry. - Have you?
I will start driving.
Are you all wearing seatbelts?
Are we going to Bongpyeong now?
We are going to Bongpyeong.
That place is...
like a true sanctuary.
I go there whenever...
- I feel like completely relaxing. - You go there.
I think I've been going there for 20 years.
Have you been going there since you were young?
Since I was a baby.
Since you were a baby.
- You are young now, aren't you? - I am.
- I was a baby 20 years ago. - You are young now.
When you say "since you were young", I feel like an old man.
What made you want to...
build a sanctuary in such a place?
As you may all know well, life in Seoul...
is quite tight, isn't it?
- It is. - It is.
You are always nervous.
You always feel like you have to do something.
I got used to being nervous.
So when I go back to Seoul after staying at a countryside,
that makes me feel more relaxed.
It's more relaxing to be tense.
- You got used to it. - You got used to it.
Actually, for the same reason, I don't travel to a remote area.
- Why not? - I...
I am bad at doing nothing.
- That makes you nervous. - Yes.
"Can I not do anything?"
"Will it be okay?" That makes you nervous.
- We can't live without tension. - Right.
There has to be just enough tension,
and there should be relaxation.
People who keep the balance well...
can live long...
and healthy life.
If you don't relax sometimes,
you can't always perform best.
- Right. - So...
Your performance drops to 70 percent.
Then it drops to 60 percent.
And you misunderstand that that is your best performance.
Would the audience not know that?
- They must know it. - They know it.
"Lee Moon Sae's voice is gone."
"He's not giving his all."
- They would say those things. - "He's not doing his best."
I see.
So I try to find the right balance of relaxation and concentration.
(That's the true purpose of having a double life.)
- Relaxation and concentration. - Relaxation and concentration.
Your voice and...
your choice of words...
- He is... - They...
make you sound sexy.
- Right. - You sound really sexy.
You must hear it all the time.
You are really happy, aren't you?
He's really happy to be referred as being sexy.
I just said those things without thinking much.
But now I am more careful about what I will say next.
From what I understand...
Among all the singers in Korea, you must be the singer...
with the most number of cover songs.
You are, aren't you?
He's really happy.
He is really happy.
He was really happy when you told him he was sexy.
This makes things too easy.
(His weakness is that he's a sucker for compliments.)
(His strength is that there are many things to compliment him for.)
(Laughing with the master, they arrived at Byongpyeong in no time.)
- We are almost there. - It wasn't that far.
We just entered Bongpyeong.
- Is it here? - Look at the nature.
Look at those cosmos flowers in full bloom.
Over there, there are buckwheat flowers.
They are white, aren't they?
It's buckwheat flower blooming season.
It's like salt has been scattered on the field.
(The field is covered in white flowers.)
Bongpyeong is where I...
- You. - You?
Where I come to really enjoy the analog life.
When I arrive in Bongpyeong, I open the window like this.
- The quality of air is different. - It's different.
It smells very sweet.
(The smell of autumn spreads in the nose.)
There is not one cloud.
- It's lovely. - It's really lovely.
[VIU Ver] E41 Master in the House / All the Butlers "Master’s Double Life : Lee Moon Sae" -= Ruo Xi =-
Gosh, it's buckwheat jjajang.
- That sounds delicious. - Buckwheat jjajang and jjamgpong.
Right.
Today is the day of the five-day market.
There is a market here.
I haven't heard that word in such a long time.
Will we be eating buckwheat crepe?
Maybe.
I love buckwheat crepe.
- They must sell banquet noodles. - Banquet noodles.
- We have arrived. - All right.
Before we get off, I have something to say.
Before you get off...
Your analog life begins now.
It begins the moment you get off the car.
I thought the remnants of the city's digital culture...
should be removed first.
So from now on, I will ..........
Any objections?
I thought the remnants of the city's digital culture...
should be removed first.
So from now on, I will be banning cell phones.
Any objections?
(They are trying to grasp the situation.)
I was going to say I really love it.
- Really? - Turn off the power of your phone.
- Great. - I will return it on the way back.
- On the way back to Seoul? - Yes. Starting now,
think that the world is not interested in you.
And you are not curious about what's going in the world.
You should have that mindset.
(No matter what you say, I can't hear anything.)
(They are very serious.)
Then...
I will search my name for the one last time.
- Search your name? - Yes.
- I'll see what comes up. - Why would you search your name?
We are going to live an analog life.
For the last time. I might get curious.
I want to read these nice comments and articles.
All right.
(Say bye to the digital world.)
If you take this now,
- we can't use it until tomorrow? - You can't.
Please turn off the power.
All right.
Let me check one last thing.
- Thank you. - Until tomorrow.
Nobody took out the sim card, right?
- Nobody did. - Does any of you have two phones?
In Bongpyeong, we will...
see a lot of beautiful stars and moon.
You will really want to take photos with your phone.
Just take photos with your eyes and keep them in your heart.
That's the beginning of the analog life. Okay?
- I feel like... - I love five-day market.
- I am in a fairytale. - Hello.
- He's like a fairytale character. - I love it.
Hello.
(Welcome to Bongpyeong Market.)
These are all from the wild, aren't they?
From the wild. Right.
It's like a festival for the villagers.
(It's a small festival held every 5 days.)
(There are lots to eat and lots to see.)
(And it's lively too.)
It's really lovely here.
And I said...
we are going to a buffet.
- This is... - This is the buffet.
- This is analog buffet. - You can eat everything.
You can eat one of each.
- Hello. - Hello.
Have you seen him many times here?
Yes. He's a regular at our restaurant.
Is he?
All right. Thank you.
Now that we are at the market,
it feels like we are shooting "Hometown Report".
- Hello. - Hello.
("analog Hometown Report" with Bongpyeong Lover)
They usually sell fruits and vegetables.
- This is where they sell food. - Food.
(After 20 years in Bongpyeong, he knows his way around.)
I've seen you a lot on TV.
- Hello. - Hello.
Master is the star here.
- He is. - Hello.
- We have to eat now. - We have to shop.
- We have to buy... - Hello.
Let's eat a corn dog.
(The freshly fried corn dog captures Seung Gi's attention.)
Just look at it.
When you go to a buffet, you don't get a lot of food at first.
- You scan the food first. - Yes.
Then you decide what to eat.
And then you go get the food.
Right now, we are going to check what are there.
- We will be back. - We will be back.
- I want that rice cake skewers. - Just look at it for now.
The rice cake skewers.
- Let's explore first. - I am really craving for that.
This is the street with all the food stalls.
This is the main street for us.
- Think about what you want to eat. - Buckwheat pancake.
Hello.
- Ma'am, that's... - It's buckwheat crepe.
It's buckwheat crepe and pan-fried sorghum cake.
- That's pan-fried sorghum cake. - Buckwheat crepe.
My mouth is watering.
(The delicious cabbage pancake is cooked to order.)
It looks so delicious.
(There's buckwheat crepe, the symbol of Gangwon Province market.)
(Their mouths water by just looking at it.)
- Look at that buckwheat crepe. - Hello.
(They are ready to fill one plate with buckwheat crepe.)
- Right. - We will take a look around.
Right. We are just checking.
- Let's take a look around. - Buckwheat crepe.
We will take a look around.
Are you giving it to me?
Look at that.
She just gave it to me.
She won't bother giving me a high-five.
She won't give you a high-five.
- He's just a neighbor. - Is he a neighbor?
(Lee Moon Sae is a resident of Bongpyeong.)
- Is your son-in-law well? - Yes, he is well.
(He gets curious about how Mr. Kim is doing.)
Did he go somewhere?
He went to get some changes.
Did he go to the bank?
(It's the market run of a man who likes to meddle.)
- Be healthy. - Thank you.
(The members are busy greeting the market people too.)
This is amazing.
We will come back later. We will look around and come back.
I should buy those roasted dried laver.
The freshly roasted ones are really delicious.
They roast it using oak charcoal.
That tastes amazing.
- It's really delicious. - It smells different.
It's only two dollars too.
- Do you know what this is? - What is that?
- Snail noodles? - Snail noodles?
(What is this?)
It's the dish you can only eat in Gangwon Province.
It originated in...
- What is this? - Potato noodles?
"What is this?"
- This is snail noodles, right? - Yes.
- Snail noodles. - Snail noodles.
- It's just the shape. - The shape.
- The shape. - It looks like a snail.
Look at that fish bread. Why do they look so amazing?
- When you eat them in summer... - They are aligned perfectly.
- They are aligned perfectly. - They are aligned perfectly.
They have everything. Look at that grilled quail.
- It's grilled quail. - Grilled quail?
(It's quails grilled as a whole.)
- What's this? - Tteokbokki looks good too.
Look at that chicken feet.
- Chicken feet is good. - Pork skin.
Pork skin.
They sell pork skin?
- This looks delicious. - Look at it.
- Just look at it. - Just look at it.
- Just look at it. - Save it in your minds.
When are we buying them?
I am really hungry.
- This place is... - I am really hungry.
When do we come back?
- We are there. - We are near.
Now, we are going to buy the food we want to eat.
And we will go to a restaurant where we can enjoy them comfortably.
- Seung Gi. - What do you want?
- I want the pork skin. - Pork skin.
- You want it in the daytime. - Pork skin.
I want rice cake skewer, buckwheat crepe, and pan-fried sorghum cake.
You are supposed to say only 1 thing. Why did you say 3 things?
That's one for me.
Rice cake skewer, buckwheat crepe, and pan-fried sorghum cake.
No. No.
Can you get all of those with two dollars?
What are you doing, sir?
Is this "Finding Happiness with 10 Dollars"?
We are hungry.
When you live an analog life, you shouldn't use a lot of money.
(According to Moon Sae)
Stop using the analog life as an excuse for everything.
analog...
We have to eat what we want to eat.
(You are supposed to eat everything you want at a buffet.)
Wait here.
- He is going to teach us... - 10 dollars for 2 people.
- Okay. - Okay?
- That's good. - Five dollars each.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You can pass.
- Thank you. - Long time no see, Seung Gi.
Where did we meet?
- I saw you every day on TV. - On TV.
You saw me every day on TV.
- He met his uncle. - It must've been a while.
He returned to this place after a long time.
I thought I forgot who he is.
- "This man is here too." - I'm back.
You are the annoying one.
- I am the annoying one. - He's the annoying one.
He was on "Mom's Diary".
- I see. - Okay. Okay.
Moon Sae has a house here.
Yes.
I've delivered things to his house.
(As Moon Sae's neighbor, he was happy to meet everyone.)
- They are great young artists. - Yes.
Why don't you give them some allowances?
Allowances?
- Hold on. - They have to buy food here.
(Is that Bongpyeong style joke?)
- You pay. - I will.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
They are the residents of Bongpyeong.
This is the charm of a market.
You just saw the market.
I always buy things here.
The culture of giving extra...
exists here.
Right.
I hate digital culture.
We get it.
- It's... - It's like this.
Between people here,
there is humanity.
That's why they give you extra.
(Getting extra is always good.)
Let's go. Now,
(They begin shopping in analog style.)
go get food.
How much is snail noodles?
- 4 dollars. - 4 dollars?
It's 4 dollars.
How much do you have?
- We have 10 dollars. - You should share the money.
(They should buy at least two bowls to share.)
- Let's ask for 2 bowls for 5. - Master was going to...
- give us 2 dollars each. - 2 bowls for 5.
- Try to talk to her. - 2 bowls for 5?
- We need to get discount? - Isn't that too cheap?
- It's four dollars per bowl. - Let's tell her this then.
"I only have 5 dollars, so I can't buy 2 bowls."
"Can you add 1-dollar worth..."
"of noodle soup to 1 serving of soup..."
"and divide it into 2 bowls?"
(It's a miraculous calculation.)
Do you need help?
Should we go somewhere else?
I want some tteokbokki.
I will pay for tteokbokki and sundae.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Since you are buying them... - How about chicken feet?
- Pork skin. - Pork skin.
- Do you want some pork skin? - Pan-fried sorghum cakes too.
We will go and buy pan-fried sorghum cakes.
- Okay. I will bring these. - I'll buy rice cake skewers.
I haven't had slush in such a long time.
- Give us some chopsticks too. - Of course.
- There are five of us. - It's so cute.
- So cute. - Can we leave the master like that?
- We left him alone. - He's the resident here.
(Seung Gi wanted fish bread, didn't he?)
Please give me five fish breads.
They are not hot.
I will warm them up for you.
No. No. No.
Then I will give you a lot.
That's enough.
We are going to be eating this somewhere else. Let's buy it here.
- Isn't it potato pancake? - Let's buy...
pan-fried sorghum cake and buckwheat crepe here.
- Hello. - How much is buckwheat crepe?
5 dollars for 4 pieces.
- 5 dollars for 4 pieces. - Yes.
We can buy four pieces.
There are five of us.
Can you give us 5 pieces for 5 dollars?
5 pieces for 5 dollars?
- Okay. - Thank you.
(Thank you.)
(They get 1 piece for free.)
- I will go buy rice cake skewers. - Okay.
She's giving us 5 pieces for 5 dollars.
I will go to the master.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Master, you are lonely, aren't you? Se Hyeong is coming.)
By the way, I am sorry.
- What? - They asked for this.
Give me...
(What is going on?)
two dollars' worth of it.
Give me three dollars.
(She asked for 3 dollars, and he offered 2 dollars.)
My gosh.
Then give me two chicken feet for free.
Okay.
My goodness.
- Why? - Is this really analog sentiment?
Is this it?
It's too much.
That's enough. We are five, so it's perfect.
It's perfect.
Each chicken has 2 feet, so I need to give 6 feet.
I see.
- They have rules. - Yes.
Here you go.
- Thank you. Enjoy. - It's delicious.
I only ate the sauce, but it's good.
I will take this.
He gave us a lot.
Let's eat one each.
(Let's eat the extra ones.)
(While the master and Se Hyeong are secretly eating fish bread...)
- Potato pancake. - Potato pancake.
Give us two sheets of potato pancake.
- Yes. - Seung Gi.
(They look at each other.)
(They perfectly understand each other.)
We will eat one here.
(They can't refuse the temptation of freshly cooked potato pancake.)
- This is crazy. - Let's eat it right away.
Let's eat it before the guys come.
(They are in a hurry.)
Hurry.
(Even though they are rushing,)
(it's worth the rush.)
This is really delicious, ma'am.
Potato from Gangwon Province is great.
(While they are enjoying the potato pancake,)
(the master approaches them.)
Please pack it, ma'am.
(They are in danger.)
Enjoy.
Where are you going? You should sit here.
(The master's voice gets close.)
(5 seconds before they get busted.)
Master, try this potato pancake.
Who told you to eat it?
- Ma'am... - We were going to eat it together.
She gave us an extra one.
- You should try it. - Isn't he eating something?
- Se Hyeong is... - What? What is it?
- Where did you get it? - He made a mistake.
- This is... - Where did you get it?
- So we were all eating. - You gave it to me, Master.
- Master, you have something here. - Master.
- You have some flour here. - Master.
What on earth do you mean by "analog"?
I ate it because you offered it to me.
Master, wait for us there. We'll bring everything.
- It's Seung Gi! - Yes, hello.
(They're headed to the restaurant with the buffet food.)
- My gosh! - Seung Gi!
- Seung Gi, I love you. - Hello, ma'am.
- Seung Gi is so popular. - It's nice to meet you.
- Yes, hello. - It really is Seung Gi.
Oh, my. Seung Gi is really popular here.
(What a handsome young fellow.)
- Oh, my. - Everyone here is so generous.
- Seung Gi! - You're so popular too.
I'm impressed.
I'm still... You know, right?
I must say, it's really great here.
The generosity is on another level.
- Totally. - I know.
My, what's this place? It's like a secret spot.
- Well... - Oh, boy.
Guys, we have a rogue here from Bongpyeong.
You bought so many things.
- He's a rogue from Bongpyeong. - A rogue?
My gosh, you bought so many things.
- What did you buy? - I see sweet potatoes.
- Oh, my. - I haven't seen him...
paying the listed price...
while shopping with him today.
Even when it clearly says five dollars,
he'd be like, "We'd like three dollars' worth of this."
(The analog lifestyle is buying only what you need.)
- He only buys what he needs. - Yes.
He comes here all the time.
- He's bought a lot of things here. - He comes here very often.
Oh, we forgot to buy something to drink.
We didn't buy any beverages.
That's why I prepared this bottled water.
- Oh, I knew it. - Here you go.
Did you get it for free?
- No, we bought it. - Did you?
Try to get stuff for free.
(That's what the analog lifestyle is all about.)
Why would you pay?
Wouldn't most people say, "Make sure you pay for things"?
When we were getting out of the car, he told us...
to spend cash instead of using credit cards,
saying all of these things were made with farmers' hard work and sweat.
He's telling us to get freebies now.
- I have a story to share. - Have you tried it?
It was so hilarious.
- After we had kudzu juice, - Se Hyeong.
- I had... - Se Hyeong, let's eat first.
(He silences Se Hyeong.)
- Okay. - All right.
Guys, let's enjoy all this food.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food, Master.
How should I put this? Now that we have everything in one place,
- it looks like a feast. - It's pan-fried sorghum cake.
(Spicy and sweet tteokbokki, chewy pig skin,)
(savory pan-fried sorghum cakes, and crunchy fried chicken)
This is our buffet with all sorts of dishes.
- Thank you for the food. - We created this meal.
This is really nice.
(Our outdoor buffet in Bongpyeong)
(In their open restaurant space without a roof,)
I love Bongpyeong.
(they enjoy the fresh air and pan-fried sorghum cakes.)
- My, this is really... - The sky looks so beautiful now.
This is so good.
This place is very nice.
- I think I'll come back here. - Totally.
We're having a picnic today.
(Relax and enjoy your meal like you're on a picnic.)
(This is Master Lee's analog lifestyle.)
Let's try the rice cake skewers. My gosh, this is...
- It looks great. - It looks amazing.
This is like our dessert.
(Chewy)
(Enjoying it)
(It's more fun when you eat the rice cakes one by one.)
(Seong Jae puts the whole thing in his mouth vertically.)
- This is so good. - My, this rice cake skewer...
- This tastes amazing. - It's delicious.
The rice cake skewer... Oh, my.
My, it's incredibly good.
(I made the perfect choice.)
It's really good.
(Stretchy)
- My gosh, it's so chewy. - Yes.
- I want to try the pig skin. - Sang Yun, it was a great choice.
- It's so good. - It's so tasty.
- Really? Is it that good? - This...
- My, this is... - We paid 1 dollar for 5 of them.
What?
- Seriously. - It's actually 4 for 1 dollar,
but we got an extra one.
You paid a dollar for five of these?
Yes, one dollar.
(We got an extra one.)
(Snorting)
Sang Yun, Master would've gotten 10 of these for a dollar.
(That's his analog lifestyle.)
- Is he really that good? - My gosh.
- No, that's not true. - He's a master negotiator.
He really is a master negotiator.
Initially, Se Hyeong looked at me with eyes filled with admiration.
(I thought he admired my bargaining skills.)
But about 2 to 3 hours later, he started calling me a rogue.
He had the wrong idea for a short while.
(Master Lee's double identities: a rogue versus a master negotiator)
All right, I'll now explain it to you so that you guys...
can understand it clearly.
(Master Lee explains, "What is an analog lifestyle?")
(We really want to know now.)
These days, we even shop...
- on the Internet. - That's right.
- No one actually goes shopping. - We use apps.
The digital lifestyle...
lacks humanity.
You just choose the things you want to buy...
- and pay for them. That's it. - That's so true.
On the other hand, when you pursue this kind of lifestyle,
you have to go to places and make eye contact...
with farmers or other vendors.
(You must make an eye contact.)
Let's say the vendor is going through a hard time.
He's struggling at the moment.
Then you can come every day and buy things from him to help him out.
But if the vendor looks confident and asks you to try the food,
if you see that he's willing to give you freebies, you should accept it.
- It all depends. - "You should accept it."
Be skillful.
It's all done through eye contact,
whether it's buying or selling food.
That's what I mean by "analog lifestyle".
Master, she gave this to us for free.
(Now that we've put our phones down,)
(we can see the lively hardworking people.)
It's okay. You guys can eat it.
- Just 2 dollars' worth. - 2 dollars' worth?
(Making eye contact and having conversations...)
(enable us to build meaningful relationships.)
When I say "bargaining",
it's not just about getting a discount.
- It's about communicating. - In passing,
you can ask things like, "Did your daughter-in-law have an easy labor?"
That's what I mean. I think that's how we should live.
I want to live a good life like that.
This is my philosophy...
which is strictly based on my thoughts only.
I want to enjoy my life and leave well.
That's my life motto.
I want to have fun. I don't care about...
things like accumulating a lot of wealth...
or buying a ton of land...
just for the sake of bragging about it to others.
I don't think that's how you can live a good life.
Even though this kind of lifestyle is humble, you can meet...
great people in a small town like this and have makgeolli with them.
You can also have barbecue with them.
"It's so good to see you!"
"I really missed you."
"Can we grab a drink today?", "Yes."
"I'll miss you again as soon as we part ways."
That's the kind of relationships I want to have.
Then...
when I'm gone,
they'll be like, "It was so fun when he was around."
I'd like to leave such memories behind.
I think that kind of life is a very happy one.
(I want to live such an analog life that others will remember.)
The things that Master has been saying...
aren't consistent at all.
- All of a sudden... - I thought he was someone else.
There are times when he looks like a true mentor,
but there are also times when...
- Do I look like a fraud? - Yes, you look like a conman.
He's so inconsistent.
That must be the disparity between Type A and B.
(They must be causing the inconsistencies!)
Thank you.
- Yes, I think you're right. - Yes.
- Master must go back and forth... - I'm okay.
between the city lifestyle and nature.
I mean, his ego does.
"His ego".
- No, that's not true. - No?
(I love state-of-the-art sound equipment.)
(The digital lifestyle rules this world.)
(Guys, everything is analog originally.)
Try to get stuff for free.
(His double life is causing split of the ego.)
That's not true. I'm not confused and torn like that.
- Master. - But...
to tell you the truth, what I prefer...
over the city lifestyle...
is my life here.
And at my sanctuary here, I've been working on my new album...
for the past three months.
- Right now? - Oh, your new album?
- Here? - Yes, at my place here.
You've heard of "home recording", right?
When I'm here, I can sleep in...
as much as I want at my place.
"It's raining today."
(On rainy days)
I should just...
(I should fry some pancakes.)
I should fry some pancakes.
All day long.
Then I'd be like, "I'm feeling good today. Shall I do some singing?"
Then I'd go into the recording booth set up at my place.
- It's done in the analog style. - That's analog too.
Actually, I can't say it's analog.
There are machines.
(There are state-of-the-art machines.)
Right.
I've been working like that for about three months now.
It's something...
I've always been dreaming of doing.
Later today, I'll show you guys how home recording is done.
- Oh, really? - I'll take you guys to my place.
- Oh, my. - Does that mean...
we'll get to check out your songs too?
- I'll play them for you guys. - Will we get a taste of them?
- Yes, exactly. - I see.
I wonder where and how he lives.
There must be a reason why he's been going on...
about his place here in Bongpyeong to us.
I want to go there and see it as soon as possible.
- All right. Now, - Yes.
I'll take you guys to my place.
I named it "The Stable".
(Master Lee's sanctuary in Bongpyeong, The Stable)
My, what is this place?
- Master, is this... - Is this your sanctuary?
(His sanctuary at his friend's place)
This place is...
I'd say it's like a secret garden?
- It has that vibe. - A secret garden.
Oh, my. This really is like a secret garden.
It's a secret garden.
(A secret garden at his stable)
Oh, this scent.
It must be coming from the herbs.
- Is it what I smell here and there? - Yes.
Excluding my family,
you guys are the first ones that I invited to my place here.
- Oh, my. - Seriously?
This is the first time I'm showing this place.
- My gosh! - What's that? Is it a dog?
- Oh, my! - Rulu.
- Rulu. - It's a Siberian Husky.
- Oh, my. - What a handsome dog.
(Welcome home, Moon Sae.)
Oh, this is...
Her name is Rulu.
(Rulu, age 7, female)
- How can she be so white? - It's not easy...
- to get this kind of color. - It's a Husky, right?
(Where have you been?)
- Is she your dog? - And...
this is the original eye color of the Siberian Husky breed.
- Blue eyes. - Yes.
I heard a dog in the cassette tape recording. Was that her?
- That's right. It was her indeed. - I heard a dog as well as a bird.
- Oh, my. So is she your dog? - She was talking to me.
- Is she your dog? - She's so beautiful.
No, it's this family's dog. But she only follows me around.
- So she's someone else's dog? - She's someone else's dog,
but he introduced her to us...
as if she's his own.
Even the dog isn't yours,
but she really likes you.
For some strange reason, she only likes me.
- She seems to really like you. - Wait, she seems...
to really like me as well.
- My gosh. - And this is where...
Rulu and I take a walk...
- and do some reading. - I see.
My, this place is amazing. It's incredible.
It's really nice here.
So strictly speaking, this is your front garden, right?
That's right. I'm currently renting this place, so you can say that.
Amazing.
For this place, wouldn't "luxurious" be more accurate than "analog"?
- It's super luxurious. - No, it's still analog.
I say that because I don't own this property.
I just come here...
and gain peace of mind. Have a seat here, guys.
- There's a little stream too. - Like this.
My gosh, this place is really... This place is magical.
Yes, I usually walk all the way up there.
(When we share, nature gives us more.)
Rulu and I always take this route when we go for a walk.
- This is so nice. - This place is incredible.
But when you live at a place like this,
your acquaintances and friends must want to visit.
How come we're the first ever guests?
Is this place like a secret?
When I'm here,
spending alone time...
is much needed, and it's very important to me.
All by myself. Suppose...
I invite my acquaintances and friends all the time.
Then it'd be the same as my life in the city.
So when I'm here, Rulu is my only friend.
- Rulu? - She's seven years old.
I had surgery twice a while ago, you know.
Oh, because of your thyroid, right?
Yes, I had surgery twice because of thyroid cancer.
When I decided that I should try to heal my body...
by spending as much time as possible in nature,
she stayed by my side.
Every morning, she went out for a walk with me.
And she gave me courage every morning.
She stayed right by my side when I was reading or eating.
- That's our story. - She's so sweet.
So her biggest rival is...
my wife.
(Rulu's biggest rival is Master Lee's wife.)
Does she sense the rivalry when your wife comes here?
She probably doesn't,
but my wife does.
She's like, "You're going there again to see Rulu, right?"
- Let's walk slowly. - She looks...
- well-fed. - Rulu.
- This is a clove tree. - She wants to run.
- A clove tree is... - Yes.
(Master Lee is so knowledgeable!)
It's... Gosh, I don't know.
- Well... - What was that about, Master?
- I knew about it. - You shouldn't have brought it up.
- Master. - Yes? I'm sorry.
- You said, "A clove tree is..." - I used to know.
- Pardon me? - I used to know what it is.
- He used to know. - Until when?
I'm not sure.
- I'm sorry, guys. - I've never heard anyone say that.
- I'll tell you what this tree is. - It's a good thing.
- A good thing? - A clove tree is a good thing?
- This isn't really analog. - Rulu is most excited right now.
- Right now... - She's rushing us.
- Yes. She's so excited. - She wants us to walk faster.
It's really nice here.
My gosh, this place is really incredible.
My, I feel as if I've just walked into the heart of nature.
(And they hear analog sounds created by nature.)
It'd be so nice to take a walk here first thing in the morning.
- After a morning coffee. - It'll get rid of all the worries.
(At the end of the healing sounds,)
(Master Lee's sanctuary awaits them.)
All right. Come in, guys.
(The secret space that completed Master Lee's B side)
- It's so nice here. - Is that a room?
It's so clean and organized inside.
All right, this is...
- Let's go. - The Stable on the rooftop?
- That's right. - Oh, my.
You can stay here.
This is my...
(His sanctuary is revealed for the first time.)
You guys are the very first guests here.
- The very first guests. - There's another door inside.
The Stable is being revealed for the first time.
- Oh, my. - There's another door inside.
(After the simple hallway)
Oh, my. This leads into...
My, I can't believe this is on the rooftop. It's amazing.
(It looks like a house from a fairy tale.)
This is it, guys.
Oh, my. Look at the view.
(The Stable is surrounded by a lush forest.)
This place is so cozy and nice.
- It's like a room from a cartoon. - A rooftop room, right?
Oh, this is where I sleep.
- I see. This is Master's bedroom. - My, what a nice place.
It's so cozy here.
Whichever window you open, you see trees everywhere.
The exterior is literally surrounded by trees.
- This is really incredible. - There's a forest right outside.
(Like a hidden mountain cabin in the woods from a fairy tale)
I must say, your sanctuary is just perfect.
My favorite part of this place is actually up there.
- Up there? - The attic?
- May we go up there now? - Yes, of course.
(We can almost smell wood from the ceiling.)
I know why you like this space. Because of the skylight, right?
That's right.
(The window makes this attic even more special.)
- When you lie down... - You can see the sky lying down.
It'll be amazing to hang out here on rainy days.
(Until now, we didn't know...)
(about Master Lee's B-side life.)
- You can see the rain falling down. - Exactly.
- My gosh. - You can lie down like this.
- It's perfect. - Oh, my.
(This analog space is what completed Master Lee's music.)
- My gosh. - This is nice.
My, this is fantastic.
Master, then where is your home recording facility?
It's downstairs.
I'll go downstairs first and get my recording studio organized.
You guys can unpack and join me.
- Okay. - Okay, we will.
- This place is so nice. - Yes, it's amazing here.
Okay. This place is incredible.
- Let's go in. - Hold on a second.
Master.
- This is awesome. - This is amazing.
Everything here is... This space is even nicer than upstairs.
There's nothing analog about this space.
Well, exactly what is analog about this space?
What is analog?
- I'm only renting this place. - Master, please.
(This is where his recent songs were born.)
(Master Lee created his musical sanctuary...)
(in a house owned by his friend of 20 years.)
It looks like your songwriting method is very simple.
(We see his traces everywhere.)
- He put up all the lyrics. - This is actually...
the analog method.
This computer is the newest model.
(Even such state-of-the-art digital equipment becomes analog.)
My gosh, this record player is so cool.
Can we listen to a song of yours on a vinyl record?
- This is a vinyl record. - But we want to hear your song.
(I shall grant your wish.)
This is so cool. The speaker is inside, right?
Hey.
- Have you heard this song? - No.
("Where the Night Stays" from Lee Moon Sae's 4th album)
I stroll the streets
If it's snowing now...
(This is the snow in Seong Jae's imagination.)
We'll sit down and focus on the music.
(This is the snow in Seong Jae's imagination.)
(The spirit of autumn and winter, Master Lee Moon Sae)
Master, your voice hasn't changed at all.
Compared to when you were younger.
My voice was thinner when I was in my 20s.
Shall I say it sounds more mature and weighty now?
(Master Lee's voice opens the door to his analog world.)
Could you sing for us? This makes me want to hear your song.
- I want to watch your concert. - Right here...
I will show you guys something now.
These are...
sound files sent from session musicians overseas.
- These are for... - Is this one of your new songs?
- Yes, for my new album. - Oh, my.
(It's 1 of the songs for his 16th album.)
I wrote the song as well as the lyrics.
("Free My Mind" made by Lee Moon Sae)
I tried it because I didn't want to feel stagnant in my career.
- It's an experiment I did. - I'm so curious now.
- What's the title of the song? - You can hear the bass first.
Gosh, this will be fun.
This is the bass pattern.
Monitor, cue.
(It was sent from a bassist overseas.)
- I can't imagine the song at all. - You have no idea now, right?
Now, I'll stop the bass.
This guitar melody is from another guitarist.
If I add the bass to this melody...
It goes like this.
You should add the drum now.
I'll add the drum to this.
(One by one, the musical instruments...)
(complete the song!)
There's a chorus file too.
- This one? - And a rap too.
There's a rap too?
This is the one. It's by Gaeko.
Gaeko?
- G, A, E, K, O! - I want to learn this.
(Master Lee, the King of Ballads,)
(embarked on this experimental project to challenge himself.)
(Do I want to keep running until the day I die)
(Locked up inside this huge steel wheel?)
My, this song is amazing.
- It's not complete yet. - It sounds...
very modern and in tune with the latest trends.
- Yes, it's very... - I'd say it's still...
a bit analog.
- It's cutting-edge. - This isn't analog.
- This song was created... - Your definition...
- through cutting-edge technology. - of "analog" is way too broad.
- I'd say this is trendy. - Exactly.
I agree. This is not analog.
Even the hip-hop artist, Drake, writes his songs like this.
This isn't analog. This is like what Drake in the US does.
- My gosh. - I only played...
these patterns for you guys because...
I think the four of you can...
- help me out with this. - Okay.
(The 4 of us can help him with this song?)
If each of you sing a line in the chorus,
- I can't believe this. - I think it'll make...
the structure of the song fuller and better.
(They'll get to be his backing vocalists?)
It'll be so much fun. Hang on.
- My goodness. - Actually,
if four chords are added to this,
it can make any sound... Look at Sang Yun.
His face is turning pale.
Sang Yun, this is nothing you should worry about.
You're probably hoping that only one of you has to do it,
but you have nothing to worry about...
because you have me, the producer.
Just trust me and do exactly what I tell you to do.
- It'll be so much fun. - That I can do.
- It won't be easy though. - Right.
I'm serious. It won't be easy,
and that's why I need all of you to focus.
Okay, got it.
- Attention. - Could I have some water?
(They even drink water to tackle this in a serious manner.)
From now on,
you shouldn't share your notes with other guys.
- Oh, okay. - If you do, you'll be confused.
- Right. - I guess we have to sing harmonies.
Which one of you should sing the lowest note?
- Sang Yun. - It should be Sang Yun.
- Really? - Yes.
How, how, how
3, 4.
How
(Checking out the reaction on this side)
(And that side)
- That was close. - One more time.
How, how, how
Keep going.
(Studying the reaction again)
That was wonderful.
He has a great bass voice.
- It was great. - I know, right?
(Sang Yun was complimented by Master Lee for his singing.)
Practice those notes in your mind.
You'll be confused if you hear other's notes.
- How - I should sing the next note.
(He's memorizing the notes.)
Seung Gi should sing the second lowest notes.
(Seung Gi will sing the tenor part!)
How, how, how
How
One more time.
(Seung Gi, who's a singer, got it right away.)
How
- How - Okay, great.
- How - My gosh, this is so fun.
(The two of them have memorized their own notes,)
(but the problem is that they're confusing each other.)
This can be very confusing.
If someone's singing different notes, you'll sing along.
Darn it. I forgot my notes. Goodness.
Stop bugging me.
(This one is not distracted.)
Seong Jae, your notes are actually...
the hardest ones to sing.
I don't think I can sing harmonies.
How, how, how
Then how high will I have to go up?
(How high will my notes be?)
(What?)
(Will my notes be higher than that?)
That can't happen. This order is wrong, then.
(Hold on a moment!)
How, how, how
(Seong Jae, who's also a singer, sang the notes perfectly!)
- How - Those are your notes.
(But when the 3 notes come together)
These are my notes.
(We're so confused.)
All right, guys. Don't practice together, or you'll be confused.
- Don't, okay? Don't even talk. - All right.
(What about me?)
(I want to sing too. Which notes am I getting?)
- How, how - Okay, I got it.
How, how, how
- How, how, how - That's it.
- How, how, how - How, how, how
Wait, I don't get a part?
- I get nothing? - You should beatbox.
- What is going on now? - You should rap. Just rap.
Then give me the castanets or something.
- I'll play the castanets. - Hang on a minute.
(Wait, I'm trying to come up with chords for you.)
How, how
Hey, be quiet.
(Hey, be quiet.)
- We were just... - You told us to practice.
Master, you told us to practice.
- Practice the notes in your mind. - In our minds?
How is that possible, Master?
(They're busy memorizing their notes.)
How, how, how
- Master. - Sang Yun, what are your sounds?
(He double-checks the bass notes.)
How, how, how It goes like that.
The two of you should try singing together. 3, 4.
- How - How
- That wasn't right. - Why did you sing the same note?
I sang the wrong note at the end.
You got it wrong. Seung Gi, sing your notes.
- Don't sing his notes. - Okay.
How
Could I hear the notes again, Master?
(What were the notes?)
No, my notes. I want to hear my notes.
Even Master played the bass notes.
(He corrects Seung Gi's notes.)
You guys, again. 3, 4.
- How - How
(The 2 of them finally sound harmonious.)
- Nice, that was great. - Oh, my.
- Repeat that twice. - Okay.
(This time, Seong Jae, Seung Gi, and Sang Yun sing together!)
Okay, one more time.
(I want to sing too.)
(How)
(That actually sounds pretty good.)
(How)
The two of us sang the same notes.
- We sang in unison. - Hey.
Hey, hold on.
- You made a mistake. - Hang on, guys.
What did you just do?
(What did you just do?)
- "What did you just do?" - Me?
Please let me do something.
- Yes, so what did you do? - I think he liked it.
I just sang a few notes in between.
It was great. Try it again this time.
(He found a way to participate.)
Let's try it again, okay? Do the thing you did.
He said, "The thing you did."
(Se Hyeong has to find his own notes.)
- Be free, okay? - "The thing you did."
- Be free, all of a sudden? - To a comedian.
- Be free - All right, guys.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(The 4 of them sing the chords again!)
(Lacking confidence)
(Being careful)
We're singing the same note.
(I'll give my tongue the freedom to enhance these chords!)
(Smacking)
Hey, that's not it.
It's different from what you did earlier.
Why did you sound so unsure?
I can't do a good job when someone's watching me.
I think we can use the notes I sang earlier.
- We didn't record it. - You didn't record it?
Why didn't you record it?
Why didn't you record it? It sounded great.
(I can no longer prove that I'm a genius.)
Gosh, I'm so stressed out now.
Coming up with four-note chords on the spot is very difficult to do.
Yes, of course. It's so hard.
This is analog.
- Who knew it had so many meanings? - We're...
- It means so many things. - I say that...
because pressing a button once can generate chords digitally.
It's obviously hard to come up with chords.
But not knowing what to do is even harder.
You should've at least told me what to do.
That was so hard.
And he'll blame me if there are any problems.
(He's trying to come up with Se Hyeong's notes in analog way.)
(Excited)
- How - How
- They're the same note. - Right.
How, how, how
How
- I lowered it at the end. - How
(Se Hyeong got the hardest notes to sing.)
I have to record these notes on my phone.
Can't we use our phones?
- No, you can't. - Forget analog.
The recording has to go well.
Look at all the state-of-the-art equipment here.
- Our phones are most analog here. - Se Hyeong, these are your notes.
- How - How
(He's writing the notes the analog way.)
I've seen many people writing notes like this.
- How - How
These are my notes.
- How - Master, could you play my notes?
(He'll memorize his notes this way?)
(This exceeds Sang Yun's daily capacity for music.)
- How - Like this?
(How)
(Is this right?)
- Did you get it? - It's almost...
(How)
- How - 1, 2, 3.
He keeps making weird sounds at the back.
He's completely forgotten his notes.
(It was so hard for me to get the notes.)
This is useless.
I thought I recorded the notes accurately here.
How, how
(This analog method is useless.)
Oh, I got it.
- How - That's not it.
- How - Gosh.
(Se Hyeong is so lost.)
(Everyone here is working very hard to memorize his notes.)
All right, good. It'll be different when we start the recording.
(The recording will begin now.)
You guys will record your parts one by one.
But the thing is,
you must do a good job.
(No more laughing.)
(It's time to sing some real harmonies.)
(Master Lee's stern remark)
(No one can help you.)
(I must not falter.)
(No more goofing around!)
(His charisma is intimidating.)
(Is Master Lee's sigh deepening?)
(Strict, stern, and serious)
(Lee Moon Sae the Singer is finally here.)
(It's not perfect.)
(Did music...)
(make him change?)
(It made him stand up!)
(The unbelievable return...)
(of the former host of "Starry Night")
(He wakes up the deep sentimentality within the 4 guys.)
(They complete the harmony with the master.)
(Our voices...)
(fill the night sky.)
(Starry night)
