We shall begin the session.
I'm the Chairman of Non Summit Meeting, Jun Hyun-moo.
- I'm Secretary General Yoo Se-Yoon. - I'm Chairman Sung Si-kyung.
We are Junyoosung!
(Welcome representatives.)
Today, we don't have Oogi for our Japanese representative.
- We don't. - Instead, we have someone else.
Because of his new job, Oogi told us that he'd be really busy for a while.
That's why we had someone else to substitute for Oogi as the Japan representative.
(Hello. I'm Hasegawa Natsuko from Japan.)
(Nice to meet you.)
Hello. I'm Natsuko from Tochigi, Japan.
Currently, I'm studying Korean language and literature at Korea University.
- Nice. - Nice to meet you.
- Korean language and literature is a Korean word, right? - Yes.
I'm studying the Korean language.
That's amazing. Now that there are some program restructuring going on,
everyone changed their hairstyles.
- That suits him well. - You look good, Aurélien.
- He does. - Yes.
He kind of reminds me of the Japanese samurai.
(A blonde samurai...)
Wasn't there a trend in Japan where they tied up their hair like that?
- There was a trend because of Odagiri Joe... - Odagiri Joe?
He's really old.
(Is this a homage to him?)
- You think it only suits Odagiri Joe? - Yes.
(Yes, of course!)
If Xinlin did Aurélien's hair...
He said he didn't want this type of hairstyle.
- Yes. I don't want to. - Why not?
It feels like he's trying to act so cool.
That's exactly right.
He's trying to act so cool.
(He's charged up with coolness.)
We'll be looking at the ranks of each country in the "B-board Chart".
America has a Billboard Chart. Japan has an Oricon Chart.
And Korea has a "B-board Chart".
Today marks the start of one of our longest vacations.
There must be so many people traveling abroad.
Today's rank topic is "The Top 10 Airports Around the World".
How will it be judged? The first thing people see of any country is their airports.
Skytrax, an England based company that reviews and rates airports,
rated over 550 airports around the world...
and picked out the top 10 airports.
How many of you think your airport is within the top 10 airports?
- Germany? - I think Germany might be in the top 10.
I believe either Frankfurt or Munich will...
definitely make it on the list. I'm positive.
Either Frankfurt or Munich...
I think China might make the list. I went after the Olympics and it was great.
Before the Olympics, it was so bad, but now, it's great.
It's second best after Incheon but...
I think France might make the top worst list.
- The Paris airport... - Charles de Gaulle?
Yes.
I think it'll take first place being the worst airport.
Why? Do dogs poop inside the airport or something?
(No, not like that!)
- It's not... - Pretty much.
- Pretty much? - Hey!
- I'm just playing. - Watch it.
(It's not like that!)
But it came out on the movie, "Taken". Did the French get offended by that?
(A man approaches the girls as if he was a friendly guy.)
(Two girls, around 18...)
(But it turns out that he was part of a kidnapping ring.)
It shot the movie as if something that dangerous was common at the airport.
- That would surely make the country look bad. - It's not dangerous.
But actually, the writer for "Taken"...
is French.
(The director, screenwriter, and producers are all French.)
That's a relief.
Anyway, let's check out the list. In 10th place,
Germany's Frankfurt Airport made the list.
(Frankfurt Airport is the central hub of Central Europe.)
(Every year, 5,550 people go through Germany's biggest airport.)
Frankfurt Airport offers special services.
When you have to go to an exit or a certain gate,
there's a guide who takes you where you need to go.
And there's also another service...
where they drive you in one of those golf carts to where you want to go.
- I want to ride that. - Me too.
In ninth place,
London's Heathrow Airport.
Heathrow Airport?
(Heathrow Airport connects Europe with the Atlantic Ocean.)
(It boasts of a big terminal that would fit close to 50 soccer fields.)
Actually, I was surprised.
When you transfer in Europe,
- the worst place to transfer is Heathrow Airport. - That's true.
- Worst place for transfers? - It's because this was rated by an English company.
- Oh. - You might be right.
You're right.
In eighth place, Switzerland's Zurich Airport.
(Zurich Airport is called the gateway to the Alps.)
(It's famous for its easy access to other cities.)
- How is it? - Zurich Airport is really good.
The best thing about Zurich airport...
- is how close it is to the cities. - That's the best.
Because it's only 13km away from the city,
you can borrow a bike or roller skates from the airport...
Roller skates? You can skate in the airport?
You can't in the airport. But if you rent them out in the airport,
you can sightsee Zurich's scenery at your leisure.
That sounds great.
- Wow. - Wow.
In seventh place, they chose Japan's Nagoya International Airport.
(Nagoya Airport was built on an artificially built island.)
(The charm points include the sky observatory and the traditional baths.)
- I went there once. - Me too.
- Nagoya Aiport? - Yes.
The foreigners already went everywhere.
Their system is really well made.
It's not small but because you can get everywhere fast, it feels small.
- That must mean they set it out well. - Yes.
Why did you go to Nagoya, Tristan?
I went to sightsee.
(I went to sightsee.)
But when I was in Nagoya Airport,
a Japanese worker approached me, asking...
"Excuse me, Can I ask you a question?"
They asked me how I was liking Nagoya Airport.
They said they were trying to plan out an activity for foreigners...
and asked me a lot of questions.
They really take good care of that airport.
In sixth place,
Qatar's Hamad Airport.
It's the country of the rich.
Fifth place was Hong Kong International Airport.
(Fifth place, Hong Kong International Airport.)
Fourth place was taken by a German airport.
- It's Munich. - I'm sure Munich made the list.
(Munich Aiport is an international hub that connects Southern Europe.)
(It's Europe's first and only five star airport.)
(It also comes equipped with wave pools, volleyball courts among other activities.)
Germany took two places in the top 10 list.
After going to and using all the airports around Germany,
- I think that's about right. - How many airports does Germany have?
Germany has one for Hamburg, Dusseldorf,
Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt...
They have a lot of airports.
But they're making one more in Berlin right now.
That one might make it into the top 10 list later.
Can you tell us what's so special about Munich Airport?
You can drink beers there.
You can drink beer in the airport?
They're draft beers.
They have a famous beer pub in there.
- They do? - There's also a restaurant.
(They also have a beer garden during the Oktoberfest.)
(This is what airport beer are all about.)
How come things get less tastier as you move farther away from the airport?
(Are all the good restaurants located inside the airport?)
I'm always saying this but...
it's not German food that's not tasty.
There just aren't a lot of German restaurants.
- Everyone eats at home. - At home?
- They don't have any reason to eat out. - I see.
- Next... - In third place, it's Incheon International Airport.
- Let's clap. - Nice.
(Third place, Incheon International Airport)
(Incheon International Airport connects the Pacific Ocean with Asia.)
It took first place for transfers consecutively for the last five years...
and took first place for their service consecutively for the last 12 years.
Yes.
It's unfortunate how we took second place last year but moved down a rank this year.
Yes, it is.
- I think it's a nice place. - Me too.
I think it deserves to be in this list.
- I agree. - I'm embarrassed to say this,
but our airport isn't bad at all.
Even though I don't have to go home, I visit Incheon Airport time to time.
- That's... - Stop lying.
- I'm telling the truth. - There are some people like that.
- There are? - I was out with my friends...
when one of them said, "I know we can't go back to our country,"
"but let's at least go to Incheon Airport."
- So we went. - That's so sad.
We went there, got something to eat from the convenience store, and came back.
It was a trip.
(Empathizing)
(Mom, Dad, we'll be back someday.)
As foreigners, what do you think is good about Incheon Airport?
This might be just me but there's a center where you can experience Korean culture.
You can hear someone play the gayageum there.
(From a small traditional gayageum concert...)
You can draw ink paintings or try out hanbok...
And they even show you the king's procession.
I was so surprised when I saw a king pass in front of me.
Yes, you can see the king walk by the Hermes store...
(You can see the king pass by the Hermes store.)
(As you wait for your plane, you can watch the king's procession.)
(Where cutting edge technology meets traditions...)
(A solemn king who doesn't give the brand name stores a glance...)
- They also have a sauna there. - They do.
They have a sauna there?
- They do. - Yes, they do.
- I didn't know that. - They have a sauna?
We shouldn't be saying this.
He's saying we should keep quiet in case it gets more people.
It was his special hidden place.
He doesn't want people to know about it.
Didn't they also have an ice rink?
- They have one. - Really?
- They have an ice rink? - Yes, they do.
An ice rink in the airport?
They have an ice rink.
(As of 2014, they switched to roller skates.)
They know about this place better than us.
Because I was sick, I asked them if they had a pharmacy.
They have a pharmacy but they also have a hospital there.
- They have a hospital? - They have it in the basement.
- Why don't I know any of this? - It's also the airport with the fastest check in.
If you're in a rush, you can get a valet to park for you.
- You can just leave your car there. - I know this one.
You don't need to go two hours early to the airport.
If you want to go there from Gangnam, there's a Korea City Air Terminal there.
If you check in there and take the bus,
you don't have to stand in line at the airport.
You can just go in.
They also move in the luggage for you.
- Korea City Air Terminal? - Yes.
When are you going to reveal the second and first place?
- Let's see it. - In second place, Tokyo's Haneda Airport.
- Wow. - Congratulations.
They took our second place.
(Tokyo's Haneda Airport is one of Asia's hottest hub.)
(It has a traditional street built inside the shopping mall...)
(and also has a robotics lab.)
But in terms of size, Narita Airport is a lot bigger, right?
Yes. Narita is a lot more bigger.
But Haneda Airport is very punctual with its time...
and very clean.
Based on the survey, it was the top cleanest airport in the world.
I think that's true.
- Whenever I go to Japan, - It's really clean.
- the bathrooms there are so clean... - They're really clean.
- They are. - I remember spending a lot of time in there.
(Groaning)
I think I went to Japan about four times now.
But they always have this Japanese scent in there.
- Japanese scent? - Yes.
I can't explain it in words...
But there's a scent for each country.
I think so too.
The airport that took first place...
for the past five years is Singapore Changi Airport.
They have a botanical garden, a movie theater,
street food, and free foot massages.
- Free foot massages? - Yes.
(First place, Singapore's Changi International Airport)
(From a botanical garden with 50,000 different species of plants...)
(to various other services,)
(Changi Airport is the best at providing customer services.)
(The Best Airports Around the World)
These airports didn't make it to the top 10 list.
Canada's Vancouver Airport came in 13th place.
China's Shanghai Hongqiao Airport came in 18th place.
France's Charles de Gaulle Airport came in 32nd place.
It's not that bad.
That's not bad at all.
But I've been to Paris so many times and it was always inconvenient.
- Every single time you get on the plane, you have to ride the bus first. - What?
You have to ride the bus to get on the planes. It's such a hassle.
- Oh, I see. - They're far away.
It's not always like that, but it's true.
Also, Italy, Mexico, and Pakistan weren't even able to make within the top 100.
They actually renovated the airport in Rome recently.
It became much better.
Pakistan is actually making a new airport too.
- You can look forward to that. - Mexico's also making a new airport too.
Please talk about it after it's been constructed.
- You can talk about it after it's been made. - Yes.
You can look forward to it next year.
Alberto, sorry, but the worst airport...
is Milano Malpensa Airport.
Because Malpensa is the closest one to Switzerland, I have to use it often.
But every time I go there, it's awful.
The building isn't pretty. There aren't a lot of restaurants.
The waiting time and lines are always super long.
There's really nothing I can compliment on.
Is it because it's an airport that's frequently used by the Swiss?
- It might be on purpose. - I see. It was on purpose.
Another French joke...
New York's JFK Airport came in 63rd place.
- Wow. - That's really bad.
But I can accept that. I can see why it took 63rd place.
I'm also very embarrassed of JFK Airport.
The airport is the first thing people see when they come into the country.
But when you get off the plane and have a lot of luggage...
Usually, they lend you out those carts for free, right?
But in JFK, you have to pay for it.
Do they really have to resort to that...
for several dollars?
It's business.
Two years ago,
I came to Korea using JFK Airport.
But when I got to JFK,
I had to transfer to La Guardia Airport.
But they had so many questions. Things like why I came to America for my flight...
- They do ask you a lot of questions. - I said the flight time matched my schedule.
But because the questioning got so long,
I couldn't board my flight on time. So I had to stay in New York for another day.
They also sometimes ask the weirdest questions.
"Why did you come to America?"
I replied, "I came to see a friend."
"Why did you come to see your friend?"
- I actually got the same questions. - You did?
That really puts you at a loss of words.
I was at the airport in LA. I had to wait three hours.
"Why did you come to America?" "I came to see my friend."
"Why are you only staying for two days?"
"Why? Is that a problem?"
"Why did you come such a long way to see a friend for only two days?"
"I have my personal reasons."
"Come with me."
They took me to their office...
and quarantined me.
- They did another interview... - You sure it wasn't because of how you looked?
(You must have looked like you were about to fight him.)
The interview...
- It made me mad. I had a right to my privacy. - I know.
I really don't understand why they do that.
- When we went to shoot a film there, - Yes?
because I couldn't speak English,
I also said I came to see a friend. "Why did you come to see your friend?"
"Actually, it's for a film shoot."
"What's the name of the film?"
"It's 'Where's Does My Friend Live?'."
- Where's my friend's home? - Why did you come to see your friend?
(Why did you come to see your friend?)
It kept going on and on.
"That's not what I mean."
"The film is called 'Where Does My Friend Live?'."
I kept talking in nonsensical English when I suddenly remembered SNL.
I said I was a Korean actor for SNL.
I found it on the internet and showed him.
(His attitude changed.)
- "You?" - And they let you in?
- I should try that too. - Yes.
I also went there several months ago.
They also asked me where I was from.
I said I was from Korea. They asked me why I was in Korea.
I said I lived in Korea.
- Why do you live in Korea? - Exactly!
Is it wrong for me to live in Korea?
- That's what I said. - It's true.
- They're also very rude to people who don't have an American visa. - Yes.
I had to transfer there to go to Cuba.
- They think you're going to run away while waiting for your transfer there. - Yes.
They place a police with a gun to look over you.
They gather you into a corner.
We have rights too, you know?
But being treated like that makes you feel so bad.
They're especially hard on Mexicans.
- I'm sure. - It's because Mexicans are always dreaming about the American dream...
and going to America.
Normally, when you go to the checkpoint,
they ask you things like why you are there.
We answer their questions but...
they keep looking at suspiciously.
"Are you planning on getting a job illegally in America?"
- They ask you like that? - Yes.
I think I know what you mean.
So I answered, "No, not at all."
"Do you have guns on you?" "What?"
"Do you have guns?" "No, I don't."
- We get a lot of those. - That's so mean.
While we're on the topic of American airports,
- there's was a big issue about what happened on an American airline. - Yes.
Airport service is important, but airplane service is also very important.
A United Airlines plane was fully booked.
But to put their stewards and stewardesses on that plane,
they forced four passengers off the plane and cause a huge controversy.
(United Airlines got a lot of criticism for this issue.)
(It forced passengers seated on the plane to make space for its employees.)
This also happened to a Vietnamese American.
I'm a physician and I have to work tomorrow at 8 o'clock.
No, I'm not going. I'm not going.
(The airport security used force to make him move.)
(Chaotic)
Because he refused to get off the plane, the police was brought in to force him off.
The video of that incident went viral.
(As the video went viral, it caused a huge issue.)
- I was shocked when I saw that video too. - How could they do this?
He was screaming and getting hurt...
- He was bleeding over here. - Yes.
- Two of his teeth broke. - Really?
- Everyone... - Bleeding...
They're going to kill me. They're going to kill me.
Everyone can tell this shouldn't have happened...
But whenever these kind of incidents happen...
When it's overbooked, they usually ask if anyone would like to give up their seats.
They're supposed to ask you nicely.
But in this case, it wasn't overbooked.
After they boarded the plane,
they suddenly needed four of their workers to board that flight.
So they asked if anyone would like to give up their seats.
But no one offered to give up their seats.
That's why they forced him off the plane.
But how is that even possible?
Regardless of the reasons,
that was just outright violence.
- Yes. - Isn't that a crime?
It doesn't make any sense.
Eventually, that victim, that doctor...
He got himself two very famous lawyers.
- Famous lawyers? - I think he'll be suing the company soon.
America is also know for charging hefty compensation fees.
They'll probably have to compensate him a huge amount of money.
Yes.
(This lawsuit, among other things, will hopefully...)
(create not just a national discussion but an international discussion...)
(Are we going to be continued to be treated like cattle?)
How did the Americans act on social media?
In social media, it was...
Everyone seemed to have been holding in a lot of complaints...
about how they were treated by the airlines for a while now.
(Damaged luggage)
(Death of pets)
(Use of violence)
(Racial discrimination)
(Muslims were refused seats because they were suspected to be terrorists.)
(While they took away a mother's baby carriage,)
(they almost dropped the baby on the floor.)
This incident was the trigger...
that made everyone explode with their complaints.
They started uploading things on the internet and boycotting United.
Boycott?
(Celebrities have also participated in the boycott.)
They responded, saying...
the airlines have been treating them like animals.
That's the perfect description. He was treated like an animal.
What do the other countries think?
Since this incident, as a member of the Asian race,
- it's... - Member of the Asian race?
It's like how you use the word Westerner.
It feels like it happened to me.
In China, the video of this incident...
gathered 46 million views within half a day.
- Wow. - The comments were harsh.
(Recently, it garnered a lot of interest with close to 11 billion views.)
(The CEO of United Airlines will be going to China to apologize.)
We, the Chinese people, were so enraged by this.
- It's because on the video, - Yes?
it looked like the policeman was dragging the person like a baby chick.
- It looked like they were dragging him like that. - It looked like it.
What century are we living in? They shouldn't be treating Asian people like that.
If you look, the top airports are all in Asia.
None of the airports in the US are considered good airports.
But I can't believe that they still treat Asian people like this.
- I was so disappointed by this treatment. - But...
We don't need to think about whether the person was Chinese, Korean or Japanese.
- An Asian person received this kind of treatment. - Right.
- Right? - Even in Japan,
the idea of dragging a person forcefully off the plane...
is being looked in a negative light.
It feels like violence is considered a valid solution in the US.
- I see. They use it to solve everything. - That's the opinion we started to have.
(Do Asians get discriminated in the US?)
Your country's image has gone down the toilet.
An Asian American actor also gave her opinion on this.
- He claimed that this might have a connection with Donald Trump. - Yes.
In Pakistan,
the idea of being discriminated because of race is causing an uproar.
There's an uproar because at first, at first, the CEO didn't apologize.
At the start he just said, "This incident followed..."
"all the regulations and rules of the airline." He said that.
- But nine hours later, - Yes?
- their stock price plummeted, right? - Yes.
- That's when he came out and apologized. - He realized his mistake.
- "It dropped." - So, the Pakistani people are thinking...
- that it wasn't a sincere apology. - It wasn't a sincere apology.
He's sending this apology to the stock owners.
We feel like he still hasn't given a sincere apology.
- So, you're saying he wouldn't have apologized if the price hadn't dropped? - Yes.
So, in Pakistan, a photo making fun of United Airlines is gaining popularity.
What is it?
- Is this real? - Was this taken in Pakistan?
When we are going to a festival or it's a national holiday,
people do ride the train like this.
- No way. - This photo is telling you to have a generous heart and make space.
- They're sending this to United Airlines. - They're sending a message.
- United Airlines already had a bad reputation among Mexican people. - I see.
- Mexicans didn't like the airline. - It's because in March of this year,
- young teenage girls... - Yes?
Well, you know the legging stockings?
They were accused of only wearing leggings...
- and they refused to let them on. - They wouldn't let them get on.
They claimed that this was against the plane's dress code.
A person who saw this uploaded the incident to his social media account.
It was a plane heading to Mexico,
so it became an incident that started to trend as it happened.
Mexicans who saw that said, "That is ridiculous!"
"Why are they doing gender discrimination?"
The airline was criticized a lot for this incident.
- I can explain that. - Okay.
Those girls were friends or family members of a cabin crew member on the plane.
The tickets that they had were the cheapest, which we call, standby tickets.
What that is, if you get on a plane,
you have to maintain and protect the image of a cabin crew member.
- There is a dress code. - Is that right?
If you don't adhere to the dress code, you can't get on the plane.
I believe the reason that they don't let you use a phone on the plane...
is not because of the safety...
but because they're afraid that they'll be caught on video.
- No, that's not it. - They don't want to be filmed.
- No... - There are so many incidents that happens on planes.
That might be right.
- I got goosebumps... - The footage we have...
is only 1 incident out 100. It's because there are no visual footage.
- But you have "Airplane mode" on your phone. - Right.
- Guillaume, don't make up strange rumors. - Don't say things like that.
- People will believe you. - Right.
- Okay. - All right. Like United Airlines,
was there any incidents that happened with airlines in your country?
We also had an incident where the plane had to make a turn back.
- Recently in Pakistan, we had an overbooking incident. - Is that true?
They overbooked a plane by 7 passengers.
The people had to stand for a four-hour flight.
- It was a standing ticket. - Did they have to stand inside a plane?
- I mean... - How did they stand on a plane?
They tell you not to stand even when the plane has landed.
Are you telling me that they stood the whole time?
- Yes, they stood like it was a subway. - But they have nothing to hold on to.
This was illegal. Since an incident like this happened,
they are investigating how they let seven more people on.
This is the first time I've heard of a person standing throughout a whole flight.
It was a huge controversy.
This is a recent incident that happened.
Normally, a pilot can only fly a certain number of hours, right?
- It is restricted. - Right.
But on a plane that was flying from Beirut in Lebanon...
to Rome, Italy.
The pilot had reached the maximum number of hours that he could fly.
So, he said that he didn't want to work.
but since the plane was in Lebanon, they couldn't find a replacement pilot.
- What happened? - The passengers had to wait for 16 hours.
The passengers had to wait 16 hours, in which time, the pilot said he could work.
- Really? - I can't believe that happened.
From the pilot's perspective, he was thinking about his safety.
- He couldn't fly. - Right. It would be illegal.
Right. But he should have thought about the passengers...
and flown the plane.
It was only meant to be a 4 hour flight, but they had to wait 16 hours.
It would only have been a four hour flight.
Last year, a Japanese airline,
the pilot and co-pilot...
drank alcohol the night before they were scheduled to fly a plane.
- Okay. - The co-pilot got drunk...
and physically assaulted the pilot.
Not only that, he also slapped a police officer as well.
He was arrested for assault.
What happened to the flight?
- They couldn't find anyone to replace the pilot, - Yes?
they decided to cancel the flight.
The passengers had to suffer because of this.
- Isn't there a rule against drinking the day before? - Yes, there is.
- You can't drink 12 hours before a flight. - You can't drink. They check.
- Right. That would be drunk driving. - Yes, so he got fired.
In France, the actor, Gérard Depardieu,
- What about him? - He really needed to use the bathroom.
He used a empty water bottle to relieve himself.
But the liquid started to overflow...
and the carpet was no longer clean.
The flight attendants had to...
leave the plane, so they could clean it.
It took two hours.
Was it because the flight attendant wouldn't let him go to the bathroom?
- Yes, the flight attendants wouldn't let him go. - Goodness me.
(I'm not sick. I'm not a terrorist.)
(I just wanted to go to the bathroom.)
(If you ever come on our show, we'll have a water bottle prepared for you.)
(No!)
(Will that do? This is my water bottle.)
I'm sure there were a lot of people who only heard of overbooking through this.
Could you tell us some rules like this that only the airlines know?
Nik, I think you'll have a lot to say about this.
With all airlines,
- the captain's word is above any law. - Right.
For example, if a passenger is drunk...
and he causes another passenger discomfort...
the captain can order the drunk passenger to be restrained and tied up.
They really do tie up the passenger and the passenger remains tied up.
When they land, the police takes the passenger into custody.
This rule not only applies to Swiss airlines, it applies to all airlines,
there are normally 2 to 3 pilots on a plane, right?
The pilots aren't allowed to eat the same airline meals as each other.
It's because of food poisoning.
That was only one of them gets food poisoning.
- There are normally a variety of choices, right? - It's a lucky draw.
- I didn't know this. - This way, we avoid all the pilots getting sick.
They have to eat a different meal.
- They have to eat something else. - That surprised me.
You have to open the windows when the plane ascends or descends, right?
- They tell you to open it. - Yes, they do.
I'm sure everyone knows that they have to do this.
- But I don't think they know why. - They wake you up and tell you to open it.
- Right. - What is the reason for that?
- Is it to get used to the sun? - The reason for this is...
This is for the flight attendants.
Let's say, something happened,
they need to see the outside, so they can make their decision.
- I understand now. - The people outside...
must also be able to see inside the plane as well.
For example, all Mexican airlines...
You know a CD, right?
We have a rule that states that we're not allowed to take CDs onto a plane.
It's because you could break the CD...
- and use it like a knife. - You could stab someone.
Yes, they can't allow that.
- Who listens to CDs these days? - They use it as a weapon.
Liam Neeson doesn't use CDs either.
In the UK, there is an airline called bmi,
the cabin crew members can't bring bibles,
crosses or other religious symbols onto the plane.
You can't bring in a cross?
It's not allowed.
- You can't carry a necklace cross either. - Why?
- This airline makes a lot of flights between the UK and Saudi Arabia. - I see.
- They're worried an incident might arise from this. - It's for their safety.
There are people who don't eat meat, right?
And there are people who only meat that are halal.
The airlines provide this service,
when you buy the food, you can tell them what religion you are,
and they will provide a meal that you can eat.
A lot of people don't know about this and go hungry on the flight.
From now on, everyone, please use this service.
- And don't go hungry. - Okay.
People on a diet ask for a special meal.
There is a disorder called a celiac disease.
People with this disorder can't eat gluten.
- If you ask them to take that out. - I see.
They provide you with a fish meal. It's a light meal.
You can use this to maintain your diet on a plane.
(Baby meals, children meals, meals for people with diabetes and low-salt meals)
(If you apply for this service before the flight, they will provide this for you.)
All right. Through the United Airlines incident,
we hope people realize that violence is never the answer.
- I hope they realize this face once again. - Okay.
- We'll end "What Is So Important?" here. - Okay.
(On April 27th, they reached a settlement.)
(The details and amount is still undisclosed.)
(They raised the compensation amount and reduced overbooking.)
(They announced this to make flying a safer and friendlier place for passengers.)
("Doctor Dao did not intend it, he has become a hero...")
("and an instrument of change for flying to millions of passengers.")
It's now time to introduce the Korean representatives.
Let me introduce this person first.
She's the Swedish representative, Ida.
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
(It'd nice to meet you.)
How do you feel? You're less nervous because it's your second time, right?
Yes. I was really nervous last time.
I'll do my best today. Good luck to me.
(She's saying it to herself.)
You'll do fine.
We've been told that there is a reason for the Swedish representative joining us.
But, let's meet the Korean representatives first.
We had to memorize the time table when we were young, right?
"They are girls that you want as a girlfriend."
"They are the pretty girls."
They are Se-jeong and Na-young from gugudan.
(They are members of the girl group gugudan.)
(Welcome)
- Hello. - Hello.
(Welcome)
(They are the two gugudan members who are overflowing with charm.)
(Na-young and Se-jeong are the 147th Korean representatives.)
- Could you introduce yourselves? - Okay.
- In 2 and 3. - Stand-by and cue!
- Hello. We're gugudan. - Hello. We're gugudan.
(Happy and welcoming)
All right. You have a unique name.
I heard that each member represents a multiplication number.
We actually put a modifier in front of our names.
Hello. I'm the third multiplication table that bring happiness. I'm Se-jeong.
(They are happy.)
You're the third multiplication.
I'm the shining fourth multiplication number, Na-young.
- They are the third and fourth multiplication. - Yes.
Have you watched our show before?
I'm a huge fan.
I have a unique way of thinking about things. So, by listening to various opinions,
- I enjoy finding out different ways of thinking about issues. - I see.
I'm really looking forward to today.
- Our members will tell you a lot of things. - Right.
All right. We will now officially start the 147th Non Summit Meeting.
Let's listen to Na-young and Se-jeong's issue.
"After making our debut, our schedules is so full..."
"that we don't have time for a break."
"I had this thought, so I bring it forth as an issue,"
"I prefer to get more sleep rather than eat. Am I abnormal?"
You're normal.
- I understand that feeling. - They'd rather sleep.
How many hours on average do you get to sleep these day?
It depends on whether we're performing or not performing.
Normally when we're performing, we sleep in the car or when we can.
We sleep when we can, so we can't give you an average number.
- Was there really a time when you only got 1 hour sleep for 4 days? - Really?
It was during a week when we had a lot of performances.
We had to film advertisements and go on variety shows.
- I really did only get 1 hour of sleep for 4 days. - Really?
(That would have been exhausting for any idol.)
But if you ask us on, we'd happily come on now.
- You'd come on if they call. - Yes.
"I prefer to get more sleep rather than eat. Am I abnormal?" Let's talk about this.
Let's have a discussion on sleep.
I'm sure that each country has a different opinion about sleep.
Let's hear about the various different opinions about sleep in each country.
We have this saying in China.
- What is that? - We can't understand if you speak Chinese.
What are you doing?
(Flustered)
- I'm sorry. - I couldn't believe my ears.
He gets nervous whenever we have a female guest.
We have a saying like this in our country.
(Xinlin's Chinese class)
What this means is, "Resting is better than taking a lot of good medicine."
It's better to sleep than taking medicine.
We believe that sleep is the best medicine.
We do have a similar saying in Korea.
There's a saying, "Sleep can make you beautiful."
- Beautiful people are sleepyheads. - That's true.
- We have an identical saying in Mexico. - What is it?
To men, we say, "Dormilon".
- To women, we say, "Dormilona". - They do have something similar.
What is that?
It means a sleeping beauty.
- We say that a lot. - It's Spanish.
Do you have a similar word to sleepy head in your countries?
Yes, we do. In our language we say this.
That means, "A hibernating big mouse". That's the name of a real mouse.
- Is it sleeping? - It's so cute.
This animal sleeps eight months on average.
They don't get up straight away either. It takes them several hours to get up.
They normally get up at night and sleep in the morning.
People who sleep late, normally sleep longer.
- I feel a sense of comradeship with that animal. - That's how it got the name.
Can you raise it as a pet?
- What are you going to do if you can? Just watch it sleep. - I'm also a night owl.
We can play together at night and sleep the mornings away.
- That's a good idea. - Yes, it is.
- You have the same cycle as that animal. - It sleeps eight months.
I can't sleep eight months.
Italians also believe that sleeping is very important.
We have a lot of sayings related to this.
For example, we have this saying,
"Every country forgets their pain differently."
In Germany, they drown their pain away with beer.
In France, they eat away their pain.
In Spain, they shed tears and forget their pain.
- In Italy, they sleep their pain away. - Is that so?
- You could just eat, drink, cry and sleep the pain away. - That's true.
- That's Korean style. - It comes in a package.
- It's Gangnam style. - Yes, it is.
This is a famous saying from Benjamin Franklin,
(Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.)
This is quote that sounds a little like a poem.
We think sleep is important. There is this understanding of this,
diligent people are the people who get up early.
I understand the healthy bit but I don't know how it'd make you wealthy and wise.
- We sleep late in our country because we're trying to become rich. - Right.
Franz Kafka said the opposite. He said,
What this means is,
"It's stupid to get up early in the morning. People need to sleep a lot."
Kafka was depressed and had very little money.
(But he was happy)
- He was still happy. - Kafka and Franklin had opposite opinions about this.
You do need to get up early in the morning.
- But it is important to sleep early as well. - Right.
- Right. - This is a very important saying.
But if you sleep early, wouldn't you be bored?
- Right. The fun starts after dark. - Everyone else is going out to have fun.
- They're going to have fun. - "The fun starts after dark"?
(He caught you red-handed.)
- I didn't believe my ears. - You become more emotionally sensitive at night, right?
- That's what I meant. - Where do you get drunk on emotions?
- Is it a place with lots of blinking lights? - That's...
It's outside with the moon.
- The moonlight. - So, the lights look like the moon.
Yes.
Sweden is slightly unique with this.
During the summer, it doesn't get dark.
During winter, we don't have any daylight.
(They don't have night in summer and no daylight in winter.)
Since we don't have any sunlight,
our bodies become tired quickly.
We tend to sleep more.
There were a lot of people who got depressed.
As an antidote for this,
people go to get tanned.
- From a machine? - Yes.
- They get tanned. - That does help depression.
- Yes. - Don't you need vitamin D?
- Yes, it provides vitamin D. - I didn't know you could get it from machines.
Also, during the summer,
the sun doesn't set until very late.
People become more energetic.
They become bolder.
Na-young and Se-jeong,
how do you think Koreans feel about sleep?
When we were at school, we asked, "What time did you sleep?"
We would be shocked if someone said they slept at midnight.
- The students today attend academy classes until 11pm these days. - Right.
I don't think we put a lot of priority on sleep.
I think it has changed from when we were students.
- Right. - Later on,
I see this first-hand every day.
- You do see students first-hand. - That's true.
If you ask students what their hobby is, they tell me it's sleeping.
They don't have time to have a hobby.
- Right. - I'm talking about high school students.
Sleep has become a precious commodity for them.
I still remember how I wanted to sleep so badly.
The students in China don't get enough sleep either. We have a formal saying.
What this means is, "Tie your hair to the roof and stab yourself with needles."
- That way you won't fall asleep. - Goodness.
When I was in high school, we had a class motto,
It means, "There's no point sleeping when you're alive, you can sleep when you die."
- Gosh. - Gosh.
- In Pakistan, you know when you yawn when your sleepy? - Yes.
If you do this,
- the teacher threw their chalk at you. - The chalk.
- They aimed for the mouth. - Yes.
I got hit by that too.
In Korea, that happened too.
It was like the teachers had eyes on the back of their heads.
- They would write something, and suddenly just throw it. - Right.
You're absolutely right.
When Koreans attend school,
- I heard that they just sleep on their table like this. - Yes.
- I was shocked by this. - Hadn't you seen this before?
Yes. We don't have anything like that in Sweden.
- She doesn't understand why students would sleep like that. - Right.
- "Why do you sleep?" - Do you sleep like this?
If you're tired in the morning,
we just don't go to school.
"If your tired, just sleep at home. Why would you go to school?"
- We don't go. - Ida, did you skip school a lot?
No. I was a good student.
(What are you talking about?)
- Ida was a good student. - If you have freedom, you don't use it.
- That's right. - It's true.
"If you have freedom, you don't use it."
- That was the best thing you said on the show. - Freedom is...
(He has said a memorable quote without meaning to.)
An average Korean will only sleep 6 hours and 48 minutes.
- The average OECD country sleeps 8 hours and 22 minutes. - That's really sad.
- It's so short. - We're the country that sleeps the least.
What kind of job would have the shortest number of hours of sleep?
I think it would be the investment bankers on Wall Street.
Normally, weekly, yes I was an investment banker on Wall Street.
- Yes. - You wouldn't get a lot of sleep.
On average, you'd work 100 hours a week.
They work until 3am to 4am, or...
work all night for several consecutive days.
But there has been a lot of scary stories recently.
A friend of mine finally got off work after several days.
He was driving his car...
when he stopped because of the red light at an intersection.
But at that moment, he fell asleep for a split second.
When he woke up, his car was moving closer to the intersection.
Oh my.
Luckily, he woke up in time and was able to step on the brakes...
but it could have been really bad.
In France, there were these artists...
who worked with surrealism.
They only let themselves get a tiny amount of sleep every night on purpose.
They thought if they did that,
it would stimulate their creativity.
- Lack of sleep stimulates your creativity? - Yes.
They were even able to see hallucinations...
- Is that why? - One of them was Dali.
- Dali. - Yes, he did that.
- That's... - It means he probably fell asleep after finishing that piece.
The painting itself looks very tired.
I think he wanted to draw the clock straight but because he was so tired...
(His fatigue made the watches droop...)
I think the job that lacks sleep is the Mexican drug lord.
- He'll be busy. - Yes.
That counts as a job?
(Everyone argues.)
Not only that, but you know how El Chapo was caught again after he escaped?
- Yes. - He's in prison right now.
But lately, he expressed discomfort because of his lack of sleep.
Worried he'd attempt to escape again, the prison guards
comes to check on him every two hours.
They also left a guard dog outside his cell,
but it kept barking that he couldn't get any sleep.
- That's why... - Does the dog never sleep?
It seems they don't.
Most Swiss people have the same lifestyle patterns.
They don't really have jobs that doesn't allow time for sleep.
Because there's nothing to do at night, we tend to sleep and wake up early.
On average, we tend to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 7am.
But you said your father always woke you up in the mornings.
Does he scold you if you sleep until 10am or 11am?
Like Mark said, Swiss people are morning people.
They have thing mindset that people should wake up early in the morning.
What does your father say when he wakes you up? Cuckcoo?
Are you saying his father is a cuckcoo bird?
(Ida laughs hard.)
- Ida's laughing so hard. - She likes these kind of jokes?
Is this European humor?
It's European humor.
He wakes me up by taking away my blanket like this.
- He takes away your blanket? - That's so cold.
- Take away your blanket? - That's...
But because he does that a lot, I can grab on to it before he does that.
(He doesn't let him steal his blanket anymore.)
- You got used to it. - Is it really like how they do it in the dramas?
"You won't get your inheritance if you don't wake up!"
What drama is that from?
- That's so old fashioned. - That's so old.
Se-jeong? Na-young? What job do you think has the least amount of time for sleep?
Well, I think people who work on TV...
- don't have a lot of time for sleep. - I agree.
Like you said, when it's really late, artists tend to...
get a lot of creativity during that time.
They get into this mode...
where you can write well.
It's the same for our music videos.
- She's right. - When we take them during the night,
- we're better with our form of expressions. - They do?
That's why we usually tend to take all the close up shots during the night.
- At night. - At night?
- Yes, that's right. - I see.
I think the worst job is the camera director.
- That's true. - Those camera directors who shoot dramas...
- They have to keep working. - I was so surprised...
They were setting up the rails...
while the cameramen were sitting like this.
They were all asleep.
When it was time to shoot, they were so tired.
- In a sense, it's not a good environment. - No, it isn't.
It's important to have a good bed for a good sleep.
What kind of special beds do each country have?
Global Bed Battle. What's more special?
(Global Bed Battle, What's More Special?)
The most expensive bed around the world is made in Sweden.
- It's made by a company called Hastens. - Hastens?
- They're super expensive. - Yes.
- Is the mattress really that expensive? - It's known for its checkered print.
Their bed have been used by...
the royalty for the last 150 years.
- The cheapest one cost around 10,000 dollars. - The cheapest one?
- Yes. - The cheapest one cost 10,000?
(The cheapest model cost around 17,000 dollars.)
- I heard David Beckham and Angelina Jolie uses them. - Yes.
- Are their mattresses very comfortable? - Yes.
- Have you lied on one? - They're high quality.
- Do you have one at home? - We don't have one at my house,
but my aunt has one.
Is your aunt royalty?
(No, but it's really good.)
It's good.
Recently, an Italian designer worked together...
with a brain research facility to make a water bed.
- Water bed? - Yes. It's really great.
- It makes you feel like you're floating on air... - That sounds so good.
when you sleep.
I heard it's very comfortable.
- How must do you think it cost? It looks expensive. - It must be.
Because of that, beds without gravity are trending in Italy these days.
In America, there's a company in Las Vegas...
that made an aquarium bed.
- Aquarium bed? - Aquarium bed?
Wow, that looks great.
- You can... - There's an aquarium above you.
You can see all the fishes swim by while you sleep.
That bed cost about 10,000 dollars too.
But I don't think I can sleep there.
I'm so paranoid the aquarium might crack over me...
If it breaks while I'm asleep, I'll probably die...
It wasn't that place. But someone I know...
went to sleep in a place where they were underwater...
- for their honeymoon. - An underwater hotel?
Yes. They spent their first night there.
They tried hard not to think about it...
but the sting rays kept watching them.
(The sting rays kept watching them.)
The sting rays...
(What'cha doing?)
I know they don't know anything but...
- but they were really bothered... - They know.
No matter how they tried to get into the mood with wine and candles,
- the sting rays kept watching them. - They keep circling the same place.
Yes. And sometimes a school of fish came by to watch too.
And this isn't about a bed you can buy,
but there's a bed racing event too.
It's an event that takes place in Florida.
It's for the children that spend a lot of time in their beds.
Because they're in their beds all day,
in support of those children,
they made a bed racing event.
They attach wheels to the beds...
and have them race while they're on their beds.
(The profit they make from the event are all donated to charity.)
America has a lot of those.
In China, they have an earthquake bed.
You can think of it as a box.
When there's an earthquake, a sensor goes off...
and drops the mattress into a box.
What?
- But that... - Like that.
- That's... - That's kind of scary.
- It's for when there's an earthquake? - Yes.
There are water and supplies in those boxes,
so you'll be safe for a while.
- In Mexico, we have nail beds. - Nail beds?
- Nail beds? - Yes, nail beds.
- We have nail beds. - Nail?
It's coming up.
(A nail bed made out of 4,000 nails.)
(Take an apple and just drop it on the nails.)
(Drops)
(But that's okay. Your skin is a lot thicker than this.)
(Your weight is distributed across the nails so you won't get pricked.)
Long ago, the Indian monks...
- used those nail beds for mental discipline. - That's right.
A certain Mexican orthopedist said...
they brought it in for treatment purposes.
You know how you get muscle cramps?
- Yes? - If you lie there, it'll take care of your muscle cramps.
- Wow. - I guess it could be effective...
You can't sleep on your side though.
Your muscle cramps won't be a problem when you're bleeding, you know?
How is that...
How do you get down from there?
I feel like it'll hurt more when you get down.
It doesn't hurt at all.
- You can't move. - When you wake up, someone needs to pick you off the bed.
Like this.
(Although it looks dangerous, there's zero possibility of getting hurt.)
In Switzerland, there's a company...
where they put a bed in the middle of a mountain,
surrounded by trees and grass. It's a hotel room.
- It looks like that. - No way.
- Is that a hotel? - Yes.
- It's a hotel room. - You'll see so many stars during the night.
The sky will be so pretty.
(The walls and roof are nature.)
(A bed surrounded by the nature of the Alps.)
If you want to go, they already stopped taking reservations for the rest of 2017.
- Really? - It's that popular.
It's probably the biggest hotel room in the world.
It's not a room. There are no walls.
That's just a mat.
What if you run into bears or something?
At 2am in the morning, you wake to hear a howl in the distance.
That'd be so funny...
if you see a wolf digging near your bed.
- They gather around you as a pack. - That'd be so scary.
Let's start our dinner.
(Are there any wild animals?)
(There are foxes, bears, and wolves.)
(But they rarely come here.)
(That means they exist though, right?)
(Right now, it's really early in the morning and I have a visitor.)
(Rabbit)
(They say there's no danger of big animals wandering nearby.)
(But because of the cold night air, you need your jacket and sleeping bag.)
(And if it rains, you can't avoid it.)
But that sounds like it'll be very memorable.
- It sounds romantic. - Yes.
(It sounds like a wonderful place to make memories.)
There are a lot of homeless people in the big cities of Pakistan.
Because they have nowhere to go, they sleep on the streets.
So a mattress company...
and an advertising company collaborated together...
to make their billboards into billbeds.
Basically, they're boards you can use as advertisement boards in the morning.
And, at night, the homeless can use those boards as bed...
- and sleep there. - That's so generous.
It was a really good idea.
(It was set up in 150 different places around Pakistan.)
(I'm so happy to have this bed. I can sleep comfortably on it now.)
(This is the greatest gift we can ever receive.)
(I have no words to describe the gratitude I feel.)
(Even now, there are 15 new beds being added every month.)
It also received an award.
- If they're going to use it anyways, - Yes.
they should offer them as beds too.
Was there any bed you wanted to have after hearing our discussion?
Actually, I thought someone would mention this,
but no one mentioned stone beds.
- Stone beds? - Yes.
I like how you can heat them up.
They actually make you feel refreshed when you wake up.
At first, I wanted to try out a water bed, but now I want to try out the nail bed.
That's...
Going from water bed to nail bed is pretty drastic.
As members of an idol group, we're always feeling sore.
That's why I was thinking it would help me with my muscle cramps.
With a lack of sleep, you're prone to getting a lot of health problems.
Let's talk about accidents that happened due to lack of sleep.
There are a lot of people who stream their games live.
They usually stream it for a long time.
In America, there was this man...
who used to always broadcast 20 hours of gameplay.
That day, he was doing a charity event, trying to reach the 24th hour.
During the 22 hour mark,
he told his viewers he'd be going out for a smoke but didn't come back.
Everyone thought he must have fallen asleep and turned off the video.
(In the beginning, he was energetic and lively.)
(But as time went by, he started to look more tired.)
We found out he died from a newspaper...
due to lack of sleep.
- Due to lack of sleep? - He died due to lack of sleep.
Wow, so you really can die from this too?
There are many incidents like this.
This happened in New Hampshire, America. Do you know what somnambulism is?
It's when you sleepwalk.
This man was very stressed from work and unable to sleep well.
He even developed a sleepwalking habit.
Without him being aware of it, he...
ended up killing his four-year-old son.
He killed him but in court,
after hearing the doctor's testimony,
they found him to be innocent because it was due to his sleepwalking.
He was found innocent after killing his son?
He himself wasn't aware of what he was doing.
Think of how he himself must have felt.
He must have been so sad.
He wasn't a German. He was English, but he was doing his bachelor party in Munich.
He drank so much alcohol.
He was looking for a warm place...
when he fell asleep there.
When he woke up,
- he woke up Zurich, which was 322km away from where he slept. - Zurich?
It turns out that he fell asleep in the bus storage space.
Oh.
- He made his way into the bus storage? - Yes.
Because it was cold? I can understand that.
- I can understand that. - I heard that story too.
- You did? - When he went to the police...
to explain his situation,
the police bought him a train ticket...
so he could get back to Munich.
When I was a newbie, they made me drink so much during the welcome party.
- They do. - I got drunk so fast.
But because they kept making me drink so much,
when we were singing karaoke,
I went to the bathroom and went to get some fresh air before going back in.
- After one hour, I realized I went into the wrong room. - You were with strangers?
They were so drunk that they didn't recognize I wasn't one of them.
Everyone were drinking and singing...
- Having a good time? - Yes.
When I woke up...
"Who're you?"
They were a workers from a stock firm. But I ended up partying...
with the newbies there.
That's what you call great adapting skills.
Yes.
There's this story about a French girl...
who went on a plane that was coming to France from Pakistan.
She fell asleep. When she woke up,
- she was on the plane back to Pakistan. - Again?
She was still asleep when the plane arrived in France.
It was there for two hours...
before it went back to Pakistan.
They didn't wake her up?
Speaking of that, there were so many times we missed our stops back in high school.
- Yes, so many. - You always wake up just when they close the door.
- That's right. - That's right.
Right when they close the door, you go...
But because it happened so often,
you go...
- You're not as surprised. - Yes.
I also used to wake up at the last stop too.
During the summer, in Southern China,
it's normal for temperatures to rise to 40 degree Celsius.
It gets so hot that people can't sleep well.
So they go to the cooler subway stations...
and end up sleeping there.
- It must have been so hot. - Are those civilians?
It's because it's too hot.
- Yes. - They're civilians?
- It looks like a sauna. - Yes, like a sauna...
- I thought it was a sauna. - It's the same as how we go to Han River...
- during the heat wave. - Yes.
There was this incident in Italy. There are a lot of bears in the mountains.
They have to sleep all throughout winter.
But because of global warming,
- they haven't been able to sleep. - That sounds stressful.
There's this bear called Francesco there. He was only able to sleep for 40 days.
- Oh no. - It's problematic because he woke up in the middle of winter.
He can't go back to sleep.
Since there are no food,
he came down from the mountains...
to the villages. He didn't attack anyone...
but he and the other animals have been going through our garbage.
There has been a lot of those kind of problems.
They have to sleep but because of the heat, they can't.
- It's like they have sleepwalking problems. - They do?
A sleepwalking bear sounds really scary.
(Shall we?)
(Roars)
You can even do animals?
He can do all kinds of animals.
He's a bear that feels guilty after attacking a human when he was sleepwalking.
(He even has a detailed background story.)
Did you have any incidents regarding lack of sleep?
I can't really fall asleep very deeply.
I tend to laugh a lot when I sleep.
I laugh like I just heard a really funny joke.
- I laugh so loudly... - That's so scary.
It can be scary. If we have a music video shoot the next day,
they told me I suddenly get up and start practicing the dance.
- What? - Then, I just fall back asleep.
It sounds like you sleepwalk.
Also, I definitely slept on the second floor.
But when I wake up, I find myself on the balcony.
- That's dangerous. - I can't remember anything.
(What?)
You should film her and show it to her.
It happened while we were in our waiting room yesterday too.
We were talking for 20 minutes or so...
when she suddenly lied down, saying she was going to sleep.
I told her good night when she suddenly...
(Laughing)
She was lying down as she laughed like this.
I looked at her, wondering what was going on.
Hye-yeon and I looked at each other.
Hye-yeon was already used to it.
- Really? - Yes.
- She was used to her sleeping habits. - That's crazy.
Wow.
Lack of sleep is a really big problem.
Therefore, there have been a lot of different ideas to make you sleep better.
Shall we listen to a few?
America has a really big market for sleeping problems.
They spend close to 20 billion dollars.
They even have a new term for this.
They added the word sleep to economics...
and made a new market called sleeponomics.
They keep developing new products there.
One of them is the hoodie pillow.
It's hard to sleep when it's too bright.
This pillow has a hood attached to it.
- If you wear that hood... - Like a sweatshirt?
Yes, you can sleep in the dark.
There's also another pillow.
It's called the ostrich pillow.
- You put your whole head into the pillow. - I think I saw that one.
You put your head inside?
(You can sleep anywhere with that pillow.)
The holes are the top are for your hands.
- You can use it anywhere. - That looks nice.
A lot of students use that.
- It'll be useful during your flight. - Looks comfortable.
It'll be so scary if everyone wears that on the plane though.
- Yes. - Ostrich pillow.
There's another hoodie pillow.
You can blow air into the hood,
and use it as a pillow.
It'd be bad if it breaks.
Because China's so big, when you ride the train to go anywhere,
it's normal for it to take one to two days.
That's why they developed an item for people who need to sit for a long time.
It's called ying zuo bao.
It means a hard treasure seat.
- Even if you sit, you can lean your head and chest while you sleep. - That so sad.
What's he doing? Is he watching a 3D movie?
No. It's just for sleeping.
Your face will be so red when you wake up.
It's because during the Chinese New Year,
everyone travels back to their home.
- So they have no choice but to... - They have to travel for 10 to 20 hours.
They look a little uncomfortable though.
Let's share some sleeping methods for those people who can't sleep.
Do you have any methods?
A British university did a research...
saying that if you wear sunglasses two hours before you sleep,
you can sleep better.
- It's because there's a lot of artificial lights around the house. - Sounds good.
So if you decrease the amount of lights, you can sleep better.
It help you adapt to the natural light.
Not only is Switzerland known for making really good clocks,
but they're also well known for making music boxes.
You can call it the country of music boxes.
They make so many different sounds and the music is so soft.
So when parents put their kids to sleep,
they usually turn on the music box for them. They used to do that for me too.
There was this famous song...
(Humming)
- That sound from the music box... - They can be scary sometimes.
I heard it a lot in scary movies.
- Yes, me too. - They scare me.
When I was a student, there was a very effective lullaby.
It was an English audio tape.
It's true. Especially this part...
Part One. Listen carefully and answer the following question.
I would fall asleep right after hearing that. It's true.
- You must have hated English. - At least you heard the question.
As soon as I listen to it,
I have no idea what they're talking about and makes me feel so sleepy.
You guys have a method for waking up quickly?
My members told me about this.
If you have to wake up, they'll take a pillow and do this seven times.
If it is 7am, they'll hit the ground 7 times.
- "It's 7am. Get up." - "It's 7am."
Yes, they do that, and I sleep.
If you do that, apparently you do wake up at 7am.
I wasn't told of this by just one member.
I was told of this by three members. They all did it when they were at school.
- That's amazing. - I tried it.
- Does it work? - It does.
Since the members all told me that this works,
I was fascinated and wanted to try it. When I was a trainee,
I didn't know you had to throw the pillow like this. I did this instead.
I did that and slept, but I woke up really late.
I asked why it didn't work and they told me I did it wrong.
You have to hit it like this.
- Does it work? - It does.
It might be because I aged, but I get up two minutes before the alarm.
- I see. - I can never do that.
I have to set 14 alarms to get up.
- I have to set them. - I can't get up either.
- Right. - I know what you mean.
I once actually threw my alarm.
You should enjoy it while you still can.
(Try the pillow trick.)
I think we need to talk about a lullaby.
What lullaby do we have?
Mom is out to work
- Don't you think that your version is too lively? - It's a R&B version.
(Feeling the song)
The baby was alone
I hate that version.
(It's a lullaby that doesn't put you to sleep easily.)
Okay. Please introduce the lullaby.
In the US, we have "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
- What is it? - "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
- Is that from the US? - Where else would it come from?
- The melody actually originated from France. - Is that so?
Mozart must have made it when he was really young.
In Sweden, we have "Pippi Longstocking".
The song from that program is very famous.
- What is it? - The title of the song is...
It means, "It's night. Let's all go to sleep."
- The song is... - Could we hear a little of it?
(All the children are in their beds)
(THe mothers and fathers)
(Everyone has to sleep It is night)
(The cat in the house is also asleep)
- That's how it goes. - I actually do feel sleepy.
I'm drowsy.
(Wake up!)
It's a soothing melody.
(It's a soothing Swedish lullaby.)
This is a song that my mother often sang to me at night.
The name of the song is "Bok Choy".
Is it the bok choy that we're thinking of?
- Yes, the vegetable. - Yes.
The vegetable. I will sing you a little.
It looks like you're falling asleep.
(It looks like you're falling asleep.)
(Snoring)
You're making us fall asleep.
"Mom! Mom!"
"Mom, you have to sing me a lullaby."
- It is a sad story. - What is it about?
There is a young child called Bok Choy,
his mother had died when he was two years old,
and he was living with his dad. His dad gets married again.
The step mom gives birth to a child. And he is better than Bok Choy.
That's why when they eat noodles, the brother eats the noodles...
and Bok Choy only gets the soup. That's the story.
(Mom said that she doesn't like bok choy)
Most lullabies are stories. It's to help the child sleep.
Italy has a lot of lullabies. Our lullaby is called, "Ninna Nanna".
"Ninna Nanna".
There is one scary story among many lullabies.
Normally,
This means,
"Who should we give this baby to?"
"They give the baby to many people."
"Once, they even gave the baby to a black wolf."
- The wolf had the baby for one year. - Goodness me.
- They also gave the baby to a witch for one week. - Goodness me.
But it is effective.
Have you sung it to Leo?
I do sing a lot of songs to Leo.
More than French lullabies, there is an English lullaby...
that has Napoleon in it.
If you read the lyrics, it is kind of scary.
What is it?
- Like a mouse. - That's scary.
- They'll rip you. - That's scary.
- They probably... - Why do they make it so scary?
- That's... - Why is it like that?
If you behave badly, like the lullaby, it will happen to you.
Aren't you telling the child to sleep without hearing the whole song?
The fourth stanza of the song is scary, so close your eyes and sleep.
It's similar to the Boogeyman.
- The Boogeyman. - You thought of Napoleon as the Boogeyman.
If you behave badly, this will happen to you.
In Mexico, we don't sing or turn on the music, we just threaten the child.
- What? - If you don't sleep,
That means, "We'll send you to the person we gave our second-hand clothes to."
Did you say the secondhand clothes man?
- Is he the scariest person in Mexico? - He exists.
They must really be afraid of him.
- He's like the drunken old man. - Right.
In Mexico, this person is a very scary person.
He has a long beard and he's carrying something on his shoulders.
He puts the child in the sack and takes him away.
He must put the clothes in like this as well.
- Right. - He puts the person in like this.
In Pakistan, everyone universally does this,
everyone in the neighborhood know this,
but there is no lyrics or name for this song.
We just hum the song as we cradle the baby.
- Hum it for us. - I think it'll be cool.
It's not a very unique melody.
(Singing)
That's nice.
- I'm sleepy. - This is how it goes.
- I'm tired. - What if the child pees?
It feels like your encouraging the child to pee.
What if the child pees?
It also feels like the sound a rice cooker makes.
- "The rice has been cooked." - Hush.
(Rice)
(Cook the rice)
(CUCKOO)
Okay.
It sounds like food.
- What song do the two of you listen to when you want to sleep? - Do you have one?
- Na-young did recommend me a song ages ago. - Right.
It's Hanall's "A Night Where I Need To Be Comforted By Someone". That's the title.
- I see. - We recommend this song.
Can you sing it for us?
(It's a night where I need to be comforted be someone)
(The cold tears flow down)
- The song continues like this. - You're a good singer.
That's a great song.
Was the singer's name Hanoll?
- It's Hanall. - I see. Hanall.
After the tears part you could say hush.
I think that would be good.
(Singing)
(Hush)
(It's the humming lullaby group.)
You'd wake the baby with that.
(If you don't want to listen, just go to sleep.)
- I apologize. - That was funny.
The issue brought to us by our Korean representatives, Na-young and Se-jeong...
was "I prefer to get more sleep rather than eat. Am I abnormal?".
The author of the novel, "Don Quixote", which transcends imagination and time...
said this. Christian, say it for us.
- Right. - What does that mean?
"Sleep is the best medicine for a tired soul."
- "A tired soul?" - Yes.
I see. Also,
-The German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer also said this,
Germany has produced a lot of sad philosophers.
Right.
"Sleep is a part of death that we have borrowed."
- Gosh. - That really doesn't make me want to sleep.
- It's the opposite. I'm afraid. - Right.
For the busy girl group, gugudan, who have little time for sleep,
we will end the show with a voice that will bring you a good night's sleep.
- Yes. - What?
- Korea's... - Let's hear it.
(Expectant)
It's the voice that has helped countless Koreans sleep,
- it's Sung Si-kyung. - Yes.
It has been three years since he did this.
(Laughing)
I really like your voice.
- It isn't that hard. - Exactly.
I'll see you tomorrow evening. We hope you have a great night. Good night.
(Good night)
Good night.
That's embarrassing. Na-young and Se-jeong, how did you find it today?
It was a great time for us...
because we had the opportunity to talk with people from various countries.
I had such a fun time today.
I see. What about you Se-jeong?
We got to listen to so many opinions from one issue.
I also enjoyed that we got to hear how people from other countries think.
Also, like the issue that we brought forth,
I would like to see a time where people will be able to get a lot of sleep.
I see. Thank you.
- Yes. - We hope you continue to perform well.
Get a lot of sleep.
- Okay. - Please take care of yourselves.
We will now end the Non Summit Meeting.
Until the day we all become normal.
I think they will turn the TV off as soon as they hear this.
- Okay. - It does have that effect.
(A lullaby?)
I think they will turn the TV off as soon as they hear this.
- Okay. - It does have that effect.
(A lullaby?)
(Kim Gun-mo)
(I don't want to listen to a sad song)
(You're sleeping inside me)
(Come back to me)
(I don't think I can survive this long night alone)
We will now adjourn.
That was good.
(The presidential election is right around the corner.)

(A president who understands women)
(I am Oogi.)
(They tell and talk about elections that had their country in shock.)
(Non Summit Meeting hopes for a fair election.)
