To ensure global peace and security,
while top representatives from each country
were convening at the UN for discussions,
despite the lack of any official recognition,
the self-appointed G-men around the world,
are convening to ensure global peace and
security for youth around the world,
and so, the Non-summit Meeting.
(Declaration of the meeting)
I am Chairman Jun Hyun-moo of the Non-summit Meeting.
- I am Secretary-General Yoo Se-yoon. - I am Chairman Sung Si-kyung.
We're Jun. Yoo. Sung.

(Jun Hyun-moo, Chairman) (Yoo Se-yoon, Secretary-General) (Sung Si-kyung, Chairman)
Welcome to the Non-summit Meeting
Welcome!
Brazilian representative Carlos's mother's sick,
so he had to leave in a hurry.
- I hope she gets well soon. - Yes.
Sechs Kies has returned.
Their reunion is an issue.
Do other countries have any bands that want to be reunited?
It should of course be The Beatles.
Since their hit song "Love Me Do" in 1962,
they became very popular. But in 1970 they disbanded.
Also two of them have died.
Even though a reunion is impossible, people still want to see it.
- That's how popular they were. - In pop, America's got Michael Jackson,
- The U.K. has The Beatles. - Yes.
- But Paul McCartney still performs. - He's a grandfather.
- He still looks great. - He's awesome.
- Alberto told me that I look like Paul McCartney. - What?
You did, right?
I did. His style and the eyebrows,
and sense of humor are similar.
I think Paul got plastic surgery too.
You're saying that's the similarity?
They look somewhat similar.
- Guillaume? - I want Westlife to reunite.
I didn't like them when they started in 1998.
But their song is easy to sing at Korean karaoke places.
Global popularity proven by the G-men
Well, Scorpions mean literally scorpions in Korean,
does Westlife mean the life in the West?
They were ranked first 14 times in the U.K.
They ranked first seven consecutive times.
- That's a tie with The Beatles. - They were one of the best.
I thought Westlife was a downgraded version of the Backstreet Boys.
That's because they weren't as successful in the U.S.
They didn't succeed in the U.S.?
- In the U.S., they were a little... - Shouldn't they have become big?
People would say, "Why do you like them?"
Yeah, that's true. I didn't like them either.
They were too cheesy.
Americans didn't like that.
People thought that his singing voice was too nice.
Back then,
when you proposed with the song, it was very effective.
- Who are you talking to? - You!
Listen to me when I talk.
It's hard to understand what he's saying.
What band do you want to see reunite?
I want see the Spice Girls.
Sam really loves girl bands.
They're all old now.
When they released their hit song "Wannabe,"
it was ranked first in 31 countries.
They went their separate ways in 2000.
So they disbanded naturally.
During the London Olympics,
they performed again at the closing ceremony.
All the fans went crazy and wanted them back.
But as you know, Victoria Beckham,
is busy with her fashion business.
- Who was your favorite Spice Girl? - Victoria.
Really?
I like Mr. Beckham, so naturally.
That doesn't make any sense.
(Either way, he wants Spice Girls to reunite.)
Just like Sechs Kies did, hope many other groups reunite.
First, let's find out about people's pride in their countries,
and dispel stereotypes in,
"What Country? Neighboring Country!"
Today, we have Asia's silicon,
Asia's silicon...
(Big silicon has appeared in Asia)
What do you mean by "silicon"?
- Where's Asia's silicon? - It is..
Here, Asia's silicon. Jun Hyun-moo.
It's in Cheongdam-dong.
("Silicon" makes people crack up.)
We're with the Asia's silicon today.
We're introducing Asia's Silicon Valley,
Singapore. A country of law, order, and cleanliness. Welcome, Reuben Ho.
(Today's guest is Reuben Ho.)
(Reuben Ho, 25, student from Singapore)
Welcome.
(Country of cleanliness)
(Small but a strong country)
Please, introduce yourself in your native language.
Singapore's main language is Chinese.
- Do you speak Mandarin? - Yes.
- We're of the same ethnic group. - Yes.
Then go ahead.
(Hello, my name is Reuben Ho from Singapore.)
(I'm 25 and I study at Korea University.)
(Nice to meet you.)
Welcome.
Hello, my name is Reuben Ho.
"I study at Korea University," he said.
You sound like the internet interpreter.
(H.e.l.l.o.)
(Alphago)
I want to say that I went to the military.
- Is that mandatory? - Yes, it's is.
So I went away for two years and I'm an old freshman.
I'm 25, but I feel old.
Aha..
You can see the real old people over here.
No we're not.
Mr. King of the Elderly is next to you.
Oh no
(Mr. King of the Elderly)
I'm the youngest here.
Congratulations. You go to a good school.
If you had only tried harder...
(No more)
You should've tried harder to come to Dong-ah University.
He gave up medical school.
To do what?
I got into King's College's medical program.
You gave up U.K.'s King's College for Korea University?
- They're both great schools. - I know, but still..
(Speechless)
I'm sorry.
(Oh my gosh)
- Question. Is there a girl? - No.
- Why do you ask? - Why?
Because you switched from going to the U.K. to Korea.
You're saying it might be because of love.
Everything's about love for you.
I see. Who's been to Singapore?
(Only Tyler did)
Tyler.
Only me?
Why did you go?
I was seven and went with my dad...
Imagine tiny Tyler.
I got into a university writing about that.
I wrote about that trip in the essay.
For how long?
My father was on a long-term business trip when I was seven.
So I was there for about a month.
What was most impressive?
I remember one thing.
I learned that countries can have totally
different systems during that trip.
I was walking with my dad,
and at an intersection, I saw...
a dog driving a car. I was shocked.
I was like, "Dad, look!"
Later, I found out that
the driver sits on the opposite side in Singapore.
- Tyler must've been scared. - Yes, I was.
(Singaporean driving)
I see.
- What is Singlish in Singapore? - Is it different from English?
It's totally different.
In Singlish, "lah"
gets attached to the end of the sentence.
When it gets attached, the meaning changes.
For example, "I don't have it," becomes,
"I really don't have it," when you say "I don't have it lah."
- I don't have it lah. - I don't have it lah.
I really don't have it.
"I don't have it leh," means...
"How come I don't have it?"
I don't have it leh.
(How come I don't have it?)
I don't have it.
- It's like talking to yourself. - Like a struggle.
What if you just add "leh" at the end?
It becomes a question all of sudden.
Do you have to shake your chin when you say "leh"?
Is Singlish taught in schools?
No.
It's a common language naturally created.
It's old and people just got used to it.
- And people know standard English? - They can.
In schools, people use standard English.
Friends or acquaintances speak Singlish.
So they learn it from each other.
Let's learn about Singapore.
Why is Singapore called Lion City?
Why is that so?
The lion is the national symbol, right?
There's a story behind it.
In the thirteenth century, the prince of Sumatra, Sang Nila Utama,
went on a journey to build a new city.
During his journey, he saw an animal running fast.
He thought it was a lion and considered it as a symbol for good luck.
When he came back in 1323, he founded a new city,
and called it Singa Pura in Sanskrit language.
"Singa" means lion.
- "Pura" means city. - A city of lion.
So that became Singapore.
Singapore lah.
So are there many lion statutes?
The city's symbol is called the Merlion.
This is the merlion.
(Symbol of Singapore, Merlion)
Yes, the top half is a lion's head and the bottom is a fish.
That's because the city is a port.
There are two types of merlions.
One is the original statute in Merlion Park.
Many tourists go there to take pictures.
The second one is the 37m-tall giant merlion on Sentosa Island.
You can even go inside where there's a historical museum.
There's also an exhibition inside.
- You can go to the top. - Right here.
You can have beautiful view of Sentosa from up there.
When people talk about Singapore,
the first thing that comes to mind is...
Marina Bay Sands Hotel's swimming pool.
It's a world-class swimming pool and beautiful.
- Right here. - This pool.
It's the highest swimming pool in the world.
(Located on the top floor of the hotel)
You feel as if you're floating in the sky.
That can be scary.
You have to take a picture at the edge.
There are safety measures at the edge, so it's okay.
Yea, it's not a waterfall.
(Not a waterfall)
Do people fall from there?
What if nothing's there?
(Diving)
Isn't there a garden?
The gardens by the bay are about 100m².
There are trees called the super trees.
There are 18 of them, that grow to be between 25 and 50m tall.
- It looks beautiful. - There's a light show at night.
You're correct. There are also skyways between the trees.
The Cloud Forest has many plants from all over the world.
It's a great path to take a walk on beautiful days.
There's also a night safari?
Yeah, it's the world's first of its kind.
The days and nights are totally different.
So about 1 million people visit each year.
There are about 135 different kinds of animals and 900 in total.
900?
You can see Asiatic Lions.
You can see lots of things there.
Any other places for traveling?
Clarke Quay is located along the shore.
There are many pubs and clubs.
It's beautiful.
There are many rides as well.
Some move as fast as 200km per hour.
It's really fast.
Have you ridden it?
I have, but I don't want to do it again.
I understand.
Yuan and I have tried it before in a different country.
We have.
- It was horrifying. - Definitely.
- In New Zealand? - Yeah.
Okay, Nikolai.
- Why? - Sorry, this isn't a pub.
(Please carry on later.)
Isn't a top-five club here?
Yes, Club Juke is one of the top five.
They play a lot of electro, house, and similar kinds of music there.
You can go to different parts
where different music plays.
Many pop stars and celebrities visit.
Wow
- Jun Hyun-moo will be there soon. - Yes.
I quit the morning radio show so I will visit next week.
Are you going in the morning?
(Embarrassing)
Let's talk about food, Guillaume.
(Buffering)
Let's just say he asked something about food.
Tell us about Singaporean food.
(Guillaume always asks the same things.)
He's been in Korea for two years and I've been here for 17 years...
- We speak Korean about the same. - No way.
I think Reuben Ho is better.
So tell us what's delicious in Singapore.
Why'd you say that?
Seafood is famous in Singapore.
It's chilli crab.
Oh wow.
Geez
- Crab. - I don't have it leh.
(Gosh)
How come I don't have it?
I wanna eat it, leh.
You fry it with tomato chilli paste.
Wow.
Black pepper crab is also very good.
It's spicy and sour.
These two are the most famous.
You can eat it with rice or bread.
It's looks amazing.
(So excited)
Can you eat with liquor?
Usually with some beer.
- Tiger beer. - Tiger?
Nice.
(Me too!)
Hainanese chicken rice is...
made with chicken broth and rice.
It looks healthy.
You pour the sauce on the chicken and eat with rice.
You can eat it with chilli sauce, ginger paste, or dark sauce.
- Looks good. - This is my personal favorite.
This is Rojak.
It's a salad mixed with pineapple and squid.
It's sweet, sour, and spicy.
In Malaysian, Rojak means "mixed sauce."
Singapore and Malaysia have a lot in common.
(Rojak is the mixture of cultures)
- And the famous Kaya jam. - Yes.
Jam? Fun jam.
I want to eat it.
It's made from pandan leaves, coconut, and eggs.
It's sweet and goes very well with crispy toast.
Put Kaya jam on it. It's really good.
- That looks so good. - It's a standard breakfast in Singapore.
A breakfast?
You can also add cheese,
or extra eggs.
(Add them to your taste)
Eggs that are sunny side up go good with it.
Half-cooked eggs.
I have a question.
Singapore is always hot.
What do you eat to fight off the heat?
Samgyetang.
So, Korea has teas.
No, we just use air conditioning.
That's brilliant.
Nice.
Don't fight heat with food.
(Eureka)
Singapore is known for its strict laws.
I heard selling gum is illegal.
Have you ever chewed gum?
You can chew but,
it is banned to sell it or import it.
Really?
Because people would throw it everywhere.
The city became dirty soon.
People stuck gum in automatic door sensors
on subway trains, which caused many safety issues.
Since 1992, selling gum has become illegal.
What happens if you chew or sell gum?
Chewing is okay.
But if you sell or smuggle gum,
the fine is 100,000 dollars.
100,000 dollars for selling.
Don't we use the term "smuggling" for guns and drugs?
You want some gum?
(Acting begins)
(Count me in.)
(Passionate acting)
(Wow)
What happens when you spit out the gum?
- When you spit... - Isn't there a fine?
The maximum fine is about 800 dollars.
You can become a registered chewer to chew gum.
Since 2004, you need to be registered to chew gum.
It also shows up on your ID cards.
- It's on ID. - I'm a gum chewer.
I got the license!
(Chewing) (Chewing)
I heard people give gum as business gifts.
My dad took Juicy Fruit...
to Singapore and gave them as gifts.
Yeah, I bet people want to chew it there.
It was useful to use as a gift.
- Foreigners pay tax to bring it. - That's right.
As long as you aren't selling it, they're fine for gifts.
Do you chew a lot of gum in Korea?
I don't. I'm not in the habit of chewing.
I see.
I think it's okay to not chew gum.
When I visited there as a child, people were selling t-shirts,
that showed different signs for penalties.
They're for tourists. For example, if you feed birds,
jaywalk,
pick your nose, etc.
You can't pick your nose?
I pick mine a lot.
When you drive, you can't pick your nose.
You must have two hands on the wheel.
- It's illegal to pick your nose while driving? - Yes.
I do it a lot especially when I'm driving.
You must have two hands on the wheel.
You can't even drive with one hand or rest your arms when driving.
I pick my nose a lot when I drive.
There are boogers everywhere in his car.
You know what I mean?
This.
That sticky one that just won't go away.
(Barf)
You thought it was gone, but you get home and there it is.
You can get caught doing that.
What is the fine for that?
It's about...
at most 820 dollars.
I need to pay 800 dollars just to breathe better?
Yeah.
What if you pick your nose while chewing gum?
Chewing is okay, but this is problematic.
What about jaywalking?
I've done this before.
I got caught by a cop who was hiding behind the tree.
He was hiding?
I was surprised, and got fined.
How much was it?
The maximum is 820 dollars and three months of confinement.
You spend time in jail for jaywalking?
If you do it again, the fine is 1,640 dollars plus six months in jail.
The penalty doubles.
You would never do it again.
A DUI is 4,100 dollars plus six months.
The second time is 8,190 dollars plus one year in jail.
- That's straightforward. - I'm so thankful.
What happens if you turn yourself in?
If you're a serial offender,
you face a maximum of 24,600 dollars plus three years.
- Three years? - Three years!
Also your face will be on the front page of the news.
Really?
If you do it enough.
You almost made the headlines.
I already did.
(Has experience)
I mean the nine o'clock news.
Does they apply to foreigners?
They do, and foreigners also get deported.
Deportation.
If they're this strict about gum, what about cigarettes?
Yes, you can't smoke in public places like bus and subway.
Even if you're 10m away from a building.
You can easily get fined.
Are there any smoking areas?
There are but they're hard to find.
Many of my friends actually quit because of this.
They said smoking was too much of a hassle.
The fine for smoking is a maximum of 820 dollars.
It's very strict there.
Everything is about 800 dollars.
- Are there many trash bins around? - Yes. There are many.
Each type of trash is designated.
Singapore is known for its cleanliness.
You get fined for not flushing the toilet in public bathrooms.
(Why do you regulate that?)
Police hide behind the toilets.
I got you.
From the top.
You didn't flush.
(So funny)
How do you regulate that?
Other people will report you.
People will notice where it occurs frequently.
The person behind you and goes in next and thinks...
Oh my!
It's like a crime scene.
I need to call the police.
How much is the fine for not flushing?
It's about 80 dollars.
Let's all flush.
Sometimes when the toilet cover is closed...
- Isn't it a bit scary? - Yes.
- You're right. - What's going to be inside?
With the lid closed shut, you wonder what might be inside.
(What's going to be inside?)
I say 80 dollars.
Another special thing,
is that over 80 percent of people live in rented apartments.
Long-term rentals?
The elevators in the apartments... have urine detection sensors.
- Urine detection? - Yes, urine.
So, urine... If a person does that,
an automated door closes.
- The elevator closes. - Wow.
- Caught at the scene. - The police or the manager...
The person would be waiting for the police while holding it.
If so, wouldn't it be better to just finish what you did?
- Yes, you can't stop that. - So,
- You can't leave until then. - Wow.
- Do you get trapped inside then? - Yes.
They punish you by locking you in with the urine.
But, let's say you accidentally spilled coffee.
Can the sensor tell coffee and urine apart?
- It can. It's different. - Urine detector.
The sensor would recognize it right away. Like, "It's hot!"
(The sensor would say, "Ouch! It's hot!")
Urine is warm too.
It's lukewarm. This is urine.
Beep, beep.
The fine for not wearing a shirt at home is 1,640 dollars.
- What? - At home?
Yes, even at home, if you take your shirt off...
and are seen by someone else, you can be reported and fined.
Excuse me, the person in front of me isn't wearing a shirt.
It's Samy. He took his shirt off.
He's going to the bathroom without wearing his shirt.
Hey! He came back out, but I didn't hear a flush!
(Reporting his second crime)
He's picking his nose!
(Emergency situation)
I'm watching the awful scene!
Please hurry!
He's going to go bankrupt.
(If you take some clothes off and are dirty, you'd go bankrupt.)
- Please hurry. - That's right.
- You get reported then. - Yes, people do report.
A lot of people get caught.
People coming outside accidentally not wearing a shirt and...
- getting caught is quite common. - Misdemeanors.
Yes. For example, you take your shirt off when you swim.
That's okay, but being shirtless inside your house is a bit...
(Not understandable)
Do you get fined 1,640 dollars if you come inside after swimming?
- Oh! I forgot to put it on! - If someone takes a picture, yes.
- That makes no sense. - Isn't it weird to take a picture?
Taking a picture of someone in his or her own home.
- So I... - Is Singapore conservative then?
How about lovers showing their affection in the street?
You know, it's similar.
It's like wearing bikinis when people go to the beach.
So, lots of people complain on online forums.
Do you still punish people by flogging?
- It was on television often. - Yes.
For very serious crimes, like armed robbery...
they can sentence people to up to 20 lashes.
So, for felonies like sexual assault, armed robbery,
and possession of illegal weapons, they'll flog men
under 50 without heart disease for 3 to 24 times.
If the man faints or gets wounded too seriously,
they treat his injuries first and then flog him again.
After he's been healed.
- They hit with wisteria sticks. - Flogging sticks?
- Don't you have a big whip? - Yes, with that...
They have people who exercise a lot. They're very muscular.
I heard that they always keep themselves in great shape.
They jump and whip.
I heard you can't take more than three lashes at a time.
I heard a normal person faints after three lashes.
- The wound... - I have a question.
- Do they keep their clothes on... - No, they take them off.
- It's a special... - It's a bigger problem then.
Then, if somebody reports that...
That's right. He'd have to pay the fine too.
Then the flogger will get flogged.
(Joking)
(Even as a joke, it sounds scary.)
What's the Singaporean people's opinion on flogging?
We think it's necessary.
When did it start?
It's a remnant from British colonial rule.
And about 20 percent of the population are Muslims.
Because of that, there is Sharia law.
So, flogging is allowed.
(This is why they still carry out flogging.)
Singapore is about the same size as Seoul.
It's small, but its population density
is the third highest in the world.
Do you feel the effects of that density in your life?
To be honest, I don't think I feel it.
The population density is about 7,600 people per 1㎢.
That's huge.
But, we have a traffic system called COE...
- to prevent traffic jams. - Oh.
It's a registration system for cars. The registration is very expensive.
So, the number of cars doesn't increase.
They prevent people from owning many cars.
Yes. The GDP of Singapore is double that of Korea,
but we don't have this many cars.
(There are fewer cars than in Korea.)
People would be surprised if you tell them that you own a car.
How much does it cost?
For example, if you buy a car from H company in Korea,
it costs about 30,000 dollars.
In Singapore, the COE alone costs 40,000 dollars.
- The registration fee alone? - Yes.
- And the car costs 80,000 dollars. - Really?
If you add those together, it's 120,000 dollars.
The C-class sedan from B company costs about 300,000 dollars.
The registration fee alone is 70,000 dollars.
They have a similar system in Norway.
- It's not that expensive but... - We have someone from Norway.
The registration fee was about 15,000 dollars 10 years ago.
- It must be more expensive now. - Is he right?
- It's just a piece of paper. - He says it's expensive.
I wish they would do this in Seoul too.
There are lots of cars in Seoul.
If they can reduce the number a bit,
I think people would use subways and buses more.
So, owning a car from B company would mean you're very rich.
That's right. So people are very unsatisfied.
To resolve the dissatisfaction,
the government tried to implement many types of public transit.
For example, they replaced the older buses with brand new ones.
They run more often too.
Starting in June, subways are free early in the morning.
They're free on your way to work then?
- That's nice. - They do these things.
- They're making efforts. - Yes.
How do you want people to remember Singapore?
To be honest, I gave it a lot of thought.
I searched "Singaporeans."
"Why are Singaporeans so rude?
So unhappy? So ugly?" I found these things.
- Really? - Yes, really.
- It'd be the same for any country. - Right.
When I searched about Korea, it was "Why are Korean guys handsome?"
- I'll accept that. - Hyun-moo.
(Who says you can do that?)
- I didn't write that. - Right.
It's because he has a car.
That made me feel sad. I mean, they didn't meet our people,
and I wish they wouldn't have those biases before meeting Singaporeans.
And honestly, Singapore is a very warm country.
So, I hope people will go to Singapore with an open mind,
and think of it as a happy country.
So, come and visit.
- Okay. - We got it.
("What Country? Neighboring Country!" Singapore)
- Singapore with Reuben Ho was fun! - Yes.
(It was fun!)
Today's Non-summit representatives are those
who heavily influenced Korea in 1990s.
They went from being memories to items of current interest.
They're the ancestors of idol stars.
It's Tony An of H.O.T. and Kim Jae-duck of Sechs Kies.
(Wow)
(The 102nd Korean representatives are Tony An and Kim Jae-duck.)
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Today's Non-summit representatives are people
who heavily influenced Korea in 1990s.
They went from being memories to hot current issues.
The ancestors of idol stars.
It's Tony An of H.O.T. and Kim Jae-duck of Sechs Kies.
(Wow)
(The 102nd Korean representatives are Tony An and Kim Jae-duck.)
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
(Nice to meet you.)
(A fan of classic hallyu)
- Welcome. - Hello, nice to meet you.
- We meet often. - Right.
- The atmosphere is heavy. - Right.
- It feels strange, right? - I've only seen them on television.
Please introduce yourselves.
Hello, I'm Kim Jae-duck of Sechs Kies.
I'm 38 years old and I'm from Busan.
- Oh, from Busan? - Yes.
- He looks so young. - He looks very young.
Unlike my looks would indicate, I'm very masculine.
(Wow)
- He's right. - Nice to meet you!
(Welcome)
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm the Korean representative, Tony An.
I'm 39 years old.
I debuted with H.O.T. in 1996.
That was 20 years ago.
(He's been a singer for 20 years after his debut in 1996.)
Are you turning 40 next year?
(Quiet! Celebrity ages are secret.)
In the 1990s these two were rivals.
H.O.T. and Sechs Kies were rivals of the century.
But now you've been roommates for a long time, right?
Including the military, it's been seven years.
Yes, they're almost like a married couple.
Why do you live together? You have plenty of money.
I can't stand being alone.
So I asked him if he wants to be my roommate.
- Were you two friends before that? - That sounds like a proposal.
- Did you take out balloons? - Yes, I prepared a special event.
"Jae-duck, please live with me." Like so, we...
Were you two friends before that?
We served in the military together.
His living quarters were next to mine.
I think that was the reason why he asked me to live with him.
How did you guys manage to live with each other for 7 years?
I think it was our respect for each other.
We accepted and understood each other for seven years...
I'm sorry, but you're sounding like a married couple.
I felt a bit strange as I was listening to it too.
- You're like a very happy couple. - "The Secret of Everlasting Love."
- What do you like about each other? - What?
(What? Oh my!)
Tell us.
There must be a reason.
- Not just, "He's a good guy." - Well,
the reason why I like him the most is...
- What is he saying? - What's this?
(Is he revealing his true feelings?)
- It's so corny. - You're right.
He really acknowledges me.
He acknowledges me for who I am in all aspects.
The way I think, what I can do... He always gives me confidence.
- I always love... - Is this about your husband?
That sounded like I was good at supporting him.
Well, Jae-duck is... To be honest, I'm not very organized.
But he's very well organized.
When I was living alone, the place would be very messy.
But he always keeps things clean. The house stays clean.
I went to China recently and he cleaned the entire fridge.
- He's really clean. - And he sent me a picture of it.
- Of the clean fridge. - What a nice guy.
You must have been tired working in China.
I hope you feel better with this.
Why don't you star in "The Greatest Love"?
- What? - The two of you.
I want to give it a try. Really.
Do you have a picture of the two of you in the living room?
Oh, we have one at the entrance.
(We should congratulate them at this point.)
(I don't know what to do.)
It's not a big picture. It's a small one.
That's perfect.
I want to star in "The Greatest Love."
Not for love, but to show how two guys can
live together with a lasting friendship.
Okay. I think they'll consider it.
- You joined YG, right? - Yes.
Does it make you sad because Jae-duck is busier now?
No, I really wanted Sechs Kies to reunite since last year.
- Many people asked about us too. - Yes, H.O.T.
Until we decide to reunite too,
I'll be working as Jae-duck's manager.
- There are so many phone calls. - I see.
I'm happy with every day that goes by.
Is there no plan for H.O.T's return?
- We were having some talks. - Hee-jun really wants it.
Since last year, we sometimes meet together.
We're talking about it, but as Jae-duck know,
a team reuniting isn't an easy thing.
We belong to different agencies and work in different fields.
Combining all of those together is a bit difficult.
But we're trying our best.
- Yes you're. - Yes.
We're dreaming about having a joint concert.
- That would be legendary. - Wow.
In the past, our fans used to quarrel.
But now, we want to have a concert where they root for each other.
Well, then. We should see our topic, right?
Let's begin the 102nd Non-summit Meeting.
Today, we have a topic chosen by Kim Jae-duck.
- Wow. - Tell us.
Hello, I'm Kim Jae-duck of Sechs Kies.
Sechs Kies returned after 16 years
and even joined with a major agency, YG.
It looks like I should be happy, but I have a concern.
Surprisingly, I don't feel satisfied right now.
People say, "What are you worried about? Everything's going well."
But, I feel more nervous as things get better.
I fear that everything might be ruined by a mistake.
The pressure is getting heavier and I feel like I can barely think.
I don't feel happy when I should be. Am I abnormal?
- I want to choose this as a topic. - Okay.
- Everything's going so well. - It sounds very simple,
but isn't this what we all think about?
It's something worth thinking about too.
It's not an easy topic to answer.
Hyun-moo, are you happy?
Yes, I'm happy. Yes.
Make it sound like you mean it.
I'm really happy. I am happy and...
Because you quit the radio program?
That makes me the happiest.
I'm happy that I can sleep in.
Is there a reason why you feel nervous? You should be happy.
I was very happy when I was on "Infinite Challenge,"
but I was only happy that moment.
It burned brightly and was out quickly.
When I was on my way home, I felt so empty inside.
But, since your appearance on "Infinite Challenge,"
you starred in other shows and have made a spectacular return.
But the moments are too brief.
Then, would you have chosen not to appear in "Infinite
Challenge"? Yes, I would.
- I would, but... - But? As I see it,
having a new goal seems to be the factor that makes me nervous.
Or I feel like I might be greedy.
Tony, you live with him. Do you agree with him?
I think there is a problem.
Because he worked so hard to achieve...
a comeback after 16 years.
If he feels unhappy with this, I wonder what he should do.
So, I thought a lot about what to say today.
- Let's talk about it together. - Right.
A global customer service company checked people's perceptions...
of happiness in Korea, China, Japan, the U.S., the U.K., and Germany.
The results were that 92 percent of Koreans suffer from too much stress.
It turned out that they were the least happy among the six countries.
What's worse is that Korea had the most people
who said that they're not sure how to become happy.
So, we could see that many people don't know how to become happy.
We'll talk about happiness with Tony, Jae-duck, and the Gs.
The topic will be "I'm not happy when I should be. Am I abnormal?"
(The first vote)
Press the button if you think he is abnormal.
In one, two, three. Press it.
Not feeling happy when you should be happy.
- He himself thinks it's abnormal. - Oh.
- Yes, I think it's abnormal. - That it should be changed.
I want to ask you a question.
If you set a goal and try to achieve it, how do you feel?
Do you feel happy?
You know, the results don't come all at once.
When I'm moving forward, seeing some results,
I feel happy in the moments.
But when the results come back, you want something better.
That's right. When I achieve the goal, I set a new, bigger goal.
- That's a good thing. It's not bad. - But, from here...
I think that's normal. Many people are like that.
People think they'll be happy when they achieve their dreams,
but as I see it, achieving your dreams and happiness aren't related.
Because your dreams are always changing.
It's something in the future. It doesn't tell me how to live now.
If you see a goal in front of you and continue to strive for it,
you'll just feel more yearning.
- But that's normal. - Right.
It's natural. It's a natural feeling,
but it's a bad thing.
Because it makes your life complex. It makes your mind feel complicated.
Then you need to overcome it.
So, as I see it, don't worry about the past or the future.
Just enjoy happiness in the present.
I think it'd be nice if you focus on that.
I think there are two ways to look at happiness.
The first is the way I look at it.
It's different from the way society looks at it.
Because things are going well, people think you should be happy.
But you might not feel that way.
So I think it would be better if you look for a way to become happy,
no matter how small it might be.
I do look for it. Like cleaning out the fridge, for instance.
- You mean, cleaning the fridge... - And seeing Tony's happy face.
That's right.
The way I'm looking for my happiness is...
to find ways to make Tony happy.
Wow.
- Wow. - That's abnormal.
I think they're going to press the buttons now.
- That's abnormal! - No, I mean...
Hey, Jae-duck. That is...
Doesn't it make sense?
It's like a warrior giving his life for his king who acknowledges him.
The happiness of the person dearest to you can make you happy.
- That's right. - Acknowledgment.
YG asked me, "What do you think happiness is?"
I thought of Tony right away.
I feel happiest when the person I like feels happy.
- That's right! - I see.
- YG told me that that's the answer. - Oh.
I really feel like that.
But why did you press the button?
I'm relying on Tony...
to become happy.
I feel like I want to talk to him.
I keep looking for him. Instead of living this way,
I want to become happy on my own.
I think you actually found your own answer.
You just said that you're happy when Tony is happy.
I think that's the correct answer.
Everyone has a different standard for happiness.
Some people feel very happy when they exercise.
Some people feel very happy when they're with their families.
I think Jae-duck feels very happy when he makes other people happy.
So, in a way, Tony has to become successful for Jae-duck to be happy.
- Hurry up and succeed. - But...
I'm worried about that now.
Jae-duck recently told me,
I'll feel more comfortable when you make a comeback
and become more successful than me.
He said he'll feel good and happy then.
- He really... - He means it.
Should we change the topic to "How will we reunite H.O.T.?",
Yes, that sounds like a good topic.
But I pressed the button,
because I'm getting stressed out too!
I have to make a comeback for him to become happy.
Like this...
Isn't Tony already successful in his business without a comeback?
I'm not talking about that kind of success.
I achieved my goal in a way. Sechs Kies reunited.
I now have a new goal.
Reuniting H.O.T. is my goal.
I feel like that's how Tony will become happy.
You came to the wrong place. Nobody here is related to H.O.T.
You need to meet Kang Ta and Moon Hee-jun.
I really wanted to meet them.
We're feeling the same way.
When Sechs Kies was going to reunite, there were problems.
I did the same thing. Can I meet them? Can I talk to them?
- It was really strange. - It really is "The Greatest Love."
(Astonished)
- Let's have some serious talk. - Okay.
Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, said,
People are constantly physically and mentally threatened.
Thus, they're exposed more to unhappiness than happiness.
It's easy for them to feel frustrated.
I'm curious if the people of each of these countries are happy.
Are there standards for happiness in your countries?
I think Chinese people aren't happy.
In the happiness index released by the UN in 2015,
Korea ranked 47th and China ranked 84th.
I heard China was even less happy than Korea.
It's because of the culture of people
comparing themselves to one another.
Another reason is the worsening disparity between the rich and poor.
People are always just working hard.
People can't find the meaning of happiness because of that too.
- Nikolai, are you happy? - Yes?
I am... Yes, I'm happy.
- He looks happy. - You look sleepy.
- Yesterday, he... - He's telling on him.
I'd be happier if I got some more sleep.
He'd be happy in Norway.
- Are Northern Europeans are happy? - Norway is... Yes.
Norway ranked fourth on the happiness index.
-Norway ranked 4th and Canada 5th. -We always lose to them.
Before he came, Canada always has the highest score..
(Is that so?)
I think the reason is because...
of the smaller gap between the rich and poor due to social welfare.
In our society, people don't have to compete as much.
And we can trust the government and corporations.
There's almost no corruption. So you can have a stable life.
Egypt ranks a bit too low.
- It's very low. - Where did it rank?
Out of 158 countries, it was the 135th.
There are news articles saying that Egyptians have become very unhappy.
It's because lots of young people can't get married.
The main reason is financial difficulties.
In Egypt, people traditionally thought of marriage as happiness.
We literally use the same word for marriage and happiness.
If I say that we have happiness at home,
it means someone in my family is getting married.
So, we call the wedding hall the hall of happiness.
People are unhappy because they can't get married.
- What's marriage in Egyptian? - "Phara."
- And happiness? - "Phara." - Oh, is it the same word?
Do you write it differently?
It's written and pronounced the same way.
You need to read the sentence to see which one it means.
So, if we go to Egypt and say,
we're happy. Would people misunderstand it as something else?
(Oh no)
"We're happy" and "today's our wedding" are similar.
The word is the same, but depending on the context...
- the meaning changes. - We'd have to be careful.
Let's be happy, let's get married
- Let's get married. - At Yanghwa bridge.
Because of financial difficulties, many people can't get married.
Maybe because of that, people are becoming unhappy.
Fortunately, Ghana ranked higher than Egypt.
But we ranked 124th.
- It's not that much higher. - Right.
Congratulations.
The financial situation in Ghana isn't very good.
But people get happiness from small things.
When I first came to Korea,
Koreans looked anxious although they're well-off.
That was a shock to me.
Because we always smile despite having difficulties in life.
We would've been happier if we were as well-off as Koreans.
But people get happiness from the little things.
Sam is right. Poland ranked 60th on the happiness index.
It doesn't look like a happy country,
but Polish people are very happy.
Poland runs a survey on happiness once every two years.
According to that, about 81 percent of the people said they're happy.
So, I think the standards used by the UN research are...
using data that isn't related to happiness.
A person's happiness is based on one's own standards.
I think it's weird to determine happiness using this data.
I'm curious too. I didn't understand this happiness index either.
If you asked him right after the filming of "Infinite Challenge,"
They asked "Mr. Jae-duck, are you happy?"
He would say "Yes, I am happy."
The day after at home when I asked "Are you happy?"
I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable...
Answering this kind of question is, well...
happiness changes with the mood change.
Actually, the word "happiness" in the so-called happiness index,
does not mean the happiness we feel in our daily lives.
It relates to the happiness in the sense
of prosperity and living a good life.
Like the requirements to live a good life.
That's saying that the environment is suitable to create happiness,
- different from feeling happiness. - the feeling,
this is not a matter of feeling or a mental state
when we refer to happiness here.
Okay, so Jae-duck, when are you the happiest?
I keep bringing up Tony.
(Madly in love with Tony)
- So you feel uneasy without Tony? - Yes!
When Tony went to China, I felt unstable.
I just wanted to talk to somebody.
About my deepest feelings, openly.
Don't you feel happier on stage rather than when you're with Tony?
To be frank, the happiest days of my life were,
when I debuted as Sechs Kies and got so much recognition,
those were the happiest moments of my life.
I didn't have to set other goals then,
and didn't have any other dream.
Being on stage, making fans happy, and being able to dance,
totally the happiest moments.
- Nothing else. - Anyways, it's all about Tony now.
Well, now chatting and laughing with Tony,
Because we wanted to know what's keeping you from being happy.
Tony's business trip?
(Only Tony)
Tony being gone?
- Tony's absence. - As I listened to Jae-duck,
the word "acknowledgment" comes up a lot.
I guess he needs someone's recognition to be happy.
I'll get the word "acknowledgment" on a T-shirt in LEDs.
When you look at it, I'll light it up.
You're right. He feels happy when he's acknowledged.
There is a Polish saying describing this kind of mindset.
(Speaking Polish.)
It means one's happiness is another person.
You need someone to be happy, this fits right into his situation.
This is a great saying!
When there's no one by your side,
there's no one to share your happiness with.
Okay, then what's making you unhappy, Tony?
Threat to your unhappiness.
There's nothing that makes me unhappy in particular.
You could say that I am way too optimistic but
I don't really dwell on anything too much.
I think those worries threaten one's happiness.
Like worrying too much about your future or instability.
Actually, I was pretty down in the dumps two years ago.
When I made a big mistake,
I was really devastated but Jae-duck was by my side consoling me.
So I got through those hard times.
So he's like a real brother to me.
Like family now.
I'm curious to know everyone's opinions.
I did programs with Hyun-moo and people showed a lot of respect.
- They respected my dancing. - You're the best!
I received many compliments today, too.
But for me,
those compliments don't matter, because I know what I did wrong,
- I only think my mistakes. -
Ah, by yourself even when no one knows.
I blame myself for not being perfect.
Even when I go home, the thoughts linger.
I think I could've done better.
I should've practiced more.
It's the same for songs too. I would try
to say I was okay, but I wasn't okay at all.
Stressed out and can't even sleep.
- You're tiring yourself out, right? - A perfectionist.
I really wear myself out.
Okay, this may help you Jae-duck.
Nikolai, what are the three elements of happiness?
For me, freedom, free time, and friends.
These are important.
- Freedom, free time, friends. - Ah.
Tony is the friend.
- Out of all three, freedom tops it. - He loves to travel.
I had a job and worked in an office before,
but I quit it and now I'm doing what I like.
I can live a happy life.
I really get with you. You said freedom, free time, and friends.
So, I was really happy when I traveled abroad with Tony.
Traveling with a friend in your free time.
Freedom, free time, Tony.
I was really happy.
Tony would've felt you took his freedom.
No way, that's not true.
Hey, say something!
- What are you going to do now? - What?
This is all new to me.
(Tony)
You've realized how grave a situation Jae-duck is in?
I really should help him with all of his worries.
(Caution: Beware addiction to Tony)
Recently, a newspaper company did some research on
Korea, China, Japan, and the U.S. in 2015,
analyzing keywords related to happiness and
unhappiness in social media and newspapers and
released the results.
The U.S., the 15th country on the happiness index,
had hash tags for pizza, chocolate, dogs, and music.
They looked for happiness in their lives in things like this.
Korea, in 47th place, had tags like concert, travel, and event.
They want to go out somewhere.
They want to escape from their mundane lives.
- Event, wow! - You're right!
- Concert, wow! - Escaping from reality.
In contrast to the U.S., where they live their daily lives.
My doggy, the pizza I'm eating today. That's the difference.
I'm always reminded about what the writer of Misaeng said.
My happiness was in my everyday life. But I didn't catch it.
And I looked for it somewhere else.
It really caught me by surprise.
(Happiness is around us.)
Why don't we look into some research on happiness?
Countries like Ghana, Sweden, and Denmark,
found that happiness genes,
do exist.
We're not talking about biological genes.
They looked at the country's atmosphere and environment.
For example, since Ghana is all happy-go-lucky,
I was born and raised in this kind of environment.
I think I'm happy as well.
- I think the weather is important. - Yeah, you're right.
- A person's mood is a mystery.
I saw a report released by a research institute.
They were trying to create an index using social media.
They looked at 124 countries and looked at their pictures,
and saw who was smiling. Brazil was number one.
(Samba Power)
Among the top 20,
Central and South American Countries secured 12 spots.
Most countries there were in the top 20.
- So, they seem happy. - Those who smile a lot.
But isn't it us Koreans who smile the most in social media?
- We post only smiley pics. - But they're fake smiles.
But the survey analyzed that too.
Whether it was a real or a fake smile.
Greek people are happy just being in the shade.
- The shade. - Ah.
When I first came to Korea,
I saw there was a veranda and was shocked.
Because it was too small, too tiny.
There was the washing machine and was used for the laundry.
So they're not making full use of the veranda.
In Greece, the most important place in a house is the veranda.
We have a beach umbrella to make shade with the wind blowing.
- With the wind, - Ah... And with a drink, wow!
- That kind of leisure time. - In Canada, we asked 4,600 people.
- You, yourself?
- No, it was a study. - He doesn't have that much time.
We asked whether they wanted more money or more time.
Out of those surveyed, 81 percent chose time over money.
Money or time?
Having leisure time is so much more important.
Personally, if a rich person doesn't have enough time, he's not rich.
The rich person with free time and money is a real rich person.
Having lots of money but no time is not rich.
It wouldn't matter how much you have unless you have free time.
- I feel sorry for you, you're too busy. - Yeah, you.
Us? What are you talking about? We're happy.
He always calls me after drinking by himself.
(I'll call you too!)
Joint research was done by teams from the U.S. and Canada.
They asked "What is the correlation between money and happiness?"
They found that there's a greater correlation between money and sadness.
The more you earn, the less likelihood of being sad.
That didn't mean that the more you have,
the happier you can get.
It can only ease your sadness.
So the money could help with your hospital fees or fixing your house.
It really makes sense.
The money eases sorrow because it gets rid of worries,
but it doesn't actually create happiness itself.
Speaking of which, we'll take a vote.
You'd have different opinions on money and happiness.
Do you think you can buy happiness with money or not?
- We'll vote on it. - This is tricky.
One, two, three, show of hands!
(Yes: Five VS No: Seven)
Daniel, Alberto, Samy.
Jae-duck, Sung Si-kyung, Jun Hyun-moo.
Living in big cities, you've got to have money to feel safe.
It's going to an extreme, but,
if I have absolute economic power,
- Yes. - Then I can get treatment when I'm sick.
With money, I can do many things. I can really reduce my unhappiness.
And also increase my level of happiness,
so there's a correlation between money and happiness.
- I get it. - You need some money for happiness, but,
it doesn't mean that more money would guarantee your happiness.
In Norway, we discovered petroleum.
The government made a lot of money. So compared to 30 years ago,
people these days have a lot of money.
However, the happiness index is the same as 30 years ago.
Oh!
Yes, you need some money, but I don't think it makes you happier.
I said we could buy happiness. It cuts both ways.
A German sociologist conducted a study,
if you look at one's happiness and income,
the happiness rises toward a 60,000 dollar annual income.
However, beyond that income level , it becomes irrelevant.
That 60,000 dollar annual income means you've secured enough wealth,
so it's somewhat related, but beyond that, it's not important.
There's a wealthy guy named Roni Chen from Hong Kong.
The money brings us many choices.
He said that money leaves us with many options.
From those choices, if there's something you like,
something related to what you love,
you're more likely to be happy.
But actually, in terms of behavioral economics,
if you have a wider variety of choices,
they don't know what to choose.
And they're less likely to choose something to make them happier.
And in my opinion, people in Korea are so unhappy,
because of the importance of social rank.
We can't choose anything.
People at the top especially can't even with their money.
This is what I think.
If I can add, yes, we can't buy happiness with money.
However, to some extent, it really does make us happy.
When I didn't earn much, I couldn't buy things I wanted.
As I didn't have money, I couldn't afford it.
Now I can afford what I want though I hesitate sometimes.
Of course, it might not be true happiness.
But I can afford many things without worrying too much,
It's a blessing to want to buy so much.
Recently, I bought underwear through home shopping.
I was on cloud nine.
In my opinion, you can surely buy happiness with money, but...
I don't think it's a real true happiness.
With money, you can buy only a moment of happiness.
I purchased something with money.
What if you connect those bits with moments of happiness?
- Super-rich people. - Yes, but..
- Moments become forever. - So,
there are a lot of people like that.
If those rich people are not truly happy,
they continuously buy those moments of happiness.
But there's a problem there. They will feel a void.
Because their so-called happiness is not deep,
but only bits of happy moments.
So were you able to buy happiness with money?
- You've earned a lot! - For me...
Yes, a long time ago.
I bet you still have a lot left.
I wished we were friends back then, too.
We became friends when he had nothing.
Yes, we met in those gloomy days.
That's why it lasts.
I believe you can never buy inner happiness with money.
That's how I see it, because...
As the school uniform business and other ventures flourished,
I made a lot of money.
But looking back, those were the most depressing days of my life.
Oh really?
I even had bad headaches because I was so depressed.
I started going to the doctor.
- Because of your worries? - I started taking medication.
So I started to think about why I was so depressed.
The money couldn't save me from loneliness.
It all boils down to...
I did have friends back then, too.
I had close friends, but when we'd meet and talk,
I had nothing to say.
- Nothing to share. - Nothing.
I have pain and I have my bad days.
I was the one listening to them all the time.
Oh you're going through a hard time, oh you too?
I didn't have anyone to talk to about my life.
I always kept it to myself and couldn't keep friends.
So I was isolated from the outer world.
- We should've been friends then. - Yes, so it went on like this...
I could've made you laugh.
I tried to see what I could do with money,
but as you were saying, it was only temporary.
Even buying a luxury car would last for few days.
- It doesn't last. - You bet.
- Yes. - So with that experience,
after all, to be happy you should put everything down.
Wow, you've learned that at your age?
- If you want to buy something... - Take off your wig,
(A monk) (Spritual Awakening)
For me, as we've talked a lot about the short-term happiness,
human beings can't be happy every day in the long run.
You should accept that you could be unhappy to become happy.
I believe this is really important.
If you've never been unhappy, you wouldn't know what happiness is.
- Yes, you're right.
You have to see the darkness.
So being unhappy wouldn't always work against us.
So you shouldn't even worry about being happy in the long term.
There is a popular Italian saying,
"don't bandage yourself before you're hurt."
It means "don't bandage yourself before you're hurt."
We become sad because we worry about the future too much.
Why worry beforehand?
So don't worry about your future, just live in the moment.
So, these days I even have things on my mind.
I would have a dark future
So I have lower expectations.
I'm screwed anyway!
(Bleak future without hope or dream.)
Even when I begin a new program, oh, it'll come to a close.
I'll be ruined. I'll regret over life in the end.
I even think to the extreme. So I do feel better after that.
- Yes. - It depends on the person.
You'll freak out if it comes true.
(Hahahaha. Giving me the creeps)
You're so mean!
Jerk!
It's unbelievable how he can come up with that in this context.
- It's a talent. - No, he's evil.
(Devil's Talent)
- Today's theme is meaningful. - Yes.
Yes, very much so.
It's deep stuff.
And Tony from H.O.T. is here to talk about happiness.
The song "Happiness" by H.O.T.
We'll have background music. I close my eyes...
I close my eyes and picture you, I found you, the one in my heart.
(Singing Live)
So, we'll cast the final vote.
Before the final vote,
Yes, yes.
Actually today,
I thought about something to say to Jae-duck.
I thought about it over and over.
What would I say to make him happy.
- Just, - Be there for me.
- Did we hear correctly? - Unbelievable.
Yeah, I'll make you happy.
- Oh wow! - Cheesy!
"I'll make you happy, be there for me," it's a song.
(Cheesy to the bone)
No, I...
We're not going to see any ring, right?
Is a ring popping out?
(Not a ring, but a bottle of water)
- I think its' like... - Song lyrics.
we'll weather the difficult times together.
So, it's not something to be worried about, let's just be happy.
Let's be happy and not get sick
Let's be happy and not get sick..
(We're screwed)
I'm here for you.
You're not like brothers but lovers.
Brother romance.
I'll always be there for you.
Me?
(I can't do this.)
You can't do it, right?
We wish for your happiness.
The final vote.
The 102nd Non-summit Meeting's Agenda:
Being unhappy at happy moments.
Am I normal or not? If you think he's not normal, press the button.
One, two, three, press the button.
Five think it's abnormal.
Normal: Nine Abnormal: Three
The number of abnormal votes went down.
So, Kim Jae-duck's agenda came out as normal.
Okay!
(We wish a happy society for everyone.)
So, how was it today for you both?
I thought I was really happy but after hearing from you,
I'm hopeful that I can have a happier life.
After the show, Jae-duck, too,
will receive some positive vibes, I hope. I really had a great time.
(I will give it to you.)
I was just so happy.
A short remark.
- Ah.. - Is that all?
It would seem weird to get that mood going.
Anyways, I learned a lot from today's show about how to lead a happier life.
I am sincerely thankful for you guys.
To you, hosts, and also to Tony.
I wish Jae-duck will be really happy with H.O.T.'s reunion.
I'd be on cloud nine.
- So, thank you everyone. - Thank you.
(Wishing for Sechs Kies' future appearances and H.O.T.'s reunion)
There's a reason why we had the guests leave early.
There's something we must inform the viewers about.

The Non-summit Meeting has lasted for over two years.
We were here to entertain the viewers.
Starting next week, we are reorganizing with new members,
and will start fresh.
We'd like to hear from our members.
Starting from Andreas.
When you're communicating with someone,
not only the language but the expressions and,
whatever it is, through other means,
you can express your feelings, this is what I have to say.
And also, if you show me love as you always have,
I'll be so grateful.
Ok, thanks Andreas.
Korean people didn't know much about Poland and I came as an honorary ambassador,
promoting our country, so I feel happy about that.
Thank you.
For me, through Non-summit Meeting,
I introduced my country's culture to Koreans,
it was a great opportunity for that and I learned a lot.
I'm so grateful to have had such a meaningful experience.
And I learned a lot about Korea and met good friends.
It was a wonderful time.
Nikolai, so you're packing up to travel?
Yes, I should. I'm thinking about it.
- Where are you off to? - Jamaica!
Yeah I'm considering Jamaica and,
the Caribbean sea, and Guam.
- Stay in touch on social media. - Yeah, post everything.
- Ok, I will. - Got it.
First off, I was just an international student who studied at school all the time.
But through this program, I gained media experience.
And through this media experience, I learned a lot.
Of course, I learned about the various cultures of your countries, but...
more than that, I learned so much about Korea.
I'm leaving this show, but...
there's still a lot we can do.
I don't know what it will look like, perhaps after 20 years,
If the Norwegian ambassador would be in North Korea or here, but,
It really could happen.
So, about those things,
I hope the viewers would keep them in mind and
the stories of the new friends who would replace us
should be heard as well. Thank you.
Honestly, when I first started, I didn't know it would get so big.
I met a lot of good friends, learned a lot from broadcasting,
This show opened up a new world for us.
I'm happy and sad at the same time.
But I enjoy how we've gotten along,
I want to stay close and hope the Non-summit Meeting flourishes even more.
Uh, to be frank, up until now,
I'm the only one who started from the very first show, not missing a single day,
up until now.
Why are you bringing that up?
I think you're too proud of yourself about that.
I haven't missed a day until the 102nd show!
I really didn't think you'd mention that at this point.
Zhang Yuan rules!
That's because you live close by.
So, I think it's all the more meaningful for me. First,
I had a reputation for being stubborn.
Because of our show, I changed my image a lot.
Ah, they have this abroad, too.
I started to think that I wasn't always right.
So, it really means a lot. Let's keep in touch often, and...
become life-long friends.
Thanks to this show, over the past two years,
it was the most dynamic,
meaningful, and fun two years of my life.
I have enjoyed so much being on the show,
I hope Non-summit Meeting lasts forever and I'll be watching the program.
Thank you.
Hello, it's me Carlos.
My mom suddenly got sick and I had to rush to Brazil.
I learned a lot through the program, and...
it was a great opportunity for me to let you know about Brazil,
so I'm grateful and I hope to see you again.
See you and thanks so much. Ciao!
Admitting our differences and understanding the bigger meanings.
The two years of laughter and tears.
Our journey to the wider world.
We were happy to be together.
You're all aware that we're not leaving each other for good, right?
Don't forget that we're a family.
We wish you best luck in your future endeavors. Good job everyone.
(Thanks to the members who have worked hard for the past two years.)
Until the day we all become normal...
Since it's the end, let's sing in harmony!
I knew this would happen.
If you start, we'll follow along.
So, everyone's ready?
You seem normal, yet abnormal, but normal.
Thank you to all viewers of Non-summit Meeting season one.
