- I'm Chairman Jeon Hyun-moo of the Borderless Youth Committee.
- I'm Secretary General, Yoo Se-yoon.
- I'm Chairman Sung Si-kyung.
We're Jeon-Yoo-Sung.
- Today's billboard chart is on brand labels.
- I haven't heard that word in a long time.
- Label.
Brand label.
A market research institution Statistar
has conducted a survey on consumers from 52 countries,
and compiled a global ranking for brand labels.
- All products are made in 'somewhere'.
They conducted a survey on
products from which countries had the most positive feedback.
- Which of the countries do you think
ranked within the top 10?
- Germany, France and Japan.
- Not Canada or Mexico.
- China.
- China?
- Really? - China is in there for sure.
- It improved.
- I think my country is No.1. - Ehh?
Ogi showing his Japanese reaction.
Ehh?
- Doesn't China make the best household items?
- We're not talking about quantity but the quality.
- There are a lot of products made in China in foreign countries.
- Where do you expect US to be?
- I think it will be within the top 10.
- Which place do you think it'll be in?
In the top 10?
- 5th place?
It's 10th place.
- What's more important is...
- That was good timing.
- Made in USA is in 10th place now.
I feel like it's been a long time since US has placed 10th in something.
- That's nice.
- That's okay.
- A lot of American products are sold in foreign countries,
but I wonder if those products are actually made in the US.
Designed in California, assembled in China.
Very specifically.
Even if it's made in the US,
the parts can come from China or other countries.
- What is the best US product that is exported worldwide?
- There are many products manufactured in the US,
and among them is a motorcycle company.
- Harley Davidson is still made in the US
and it's revenue in the Asian market and other overseas market is increasing.
- Don't you want to ride one?
Harley Davidson.
- In the North Town?
- In the North Town.
- In such a quiet town.
Wearing hanbok...
- And hailing...
- In addition to Harley Davidson,
US makes a lot of Boeing airplanes.
We make all planes for military use and pilots.
We make the most Boeing airplanes in the world,
as well as Europe's airbus.
It goes back and forth.
Recently, I think they've been making
more airbuses than Boeing airplanes.
- I rode a lot of American cars for my work
and I think their quality is a little poor.
It doesn't have the fine details favored by the Koreans or Japanese,
but it's really strong and robust.
- US cars.
- They make really strong engines.
- But doesn't that mean that it has poor fuel efficiency?
- But they have cheap gas price.
- In the US, it's not like driving for 30 minutes to get to somewhere,
but it takes hours and hours.
So strength is more important than details.
- Right.
Oh, and the audio system I'm using
is made in the US.
- Which one is it?
- Good audio systems can be really expensive,
but this one is really good for its price,
so I keep buying it.
- Ticker.
It's really nice.
- Let's look at 9th place.
France came in 9th place.
- As a country known to have many highly prestigious brands,
it ranked high on the list.
- How do you feel?
- I'm very disappointed today.
- Disappointed?
- We're ranked No.6 for highest GDP,
so I'm a little disappointed that we're ranked in 9th place.
There might be other countries on top of the list like Germany.
- Maybe.
- Or maybe Canada?
Canada?
- England?
England, Japan.
Oh, Switzerland?
Switzerland.
- But better than us? - What are some of the French labels?
- Louis Vuitton.
- Designer brands?
- Champagne.
- Perfumes.
- There are a lot of perfumes.
- Channel...
- Chanel.
- Oh, Chanel.
- As a joke.
- I was so jealous of Auréllien's hair
so I bought a French shampoo. - France is famous for its shampoo.
- It's really nice.
- I'm using a French shampoo, Mise en scene.
- Isn't that a Korean shampoo?
- I thought it was Korean.
- I'm interested in hair care, so I tried a lot of different products.
But now I'm just using French products because they're so nice.
- France is the first country to manufacture products like perfumes, right?
- There's also hair wax.
It's good for styling your hair
and there are hairsprays as well. There are many famous products.
- We should acknowledge it.
When Italians go to France,
we don't approve of their food,
because Italy has much more diverse food
and we think it's more delicious.
But there's one thing I approve of.
- Pastries.
- Pastries are made of butter.
- Italians like to eat croissants too,
because Italy makes good croissants,
but croissants taste better in France.
- It's the best for baked goods.
- I eat like 3, 4 croissants for breakfast when I go to France.
- Really? - When I went to France with Guillaume, we loved it.
- Doesn't one croissant has the same calories as a bowl of rice?
There's also chocolate in it.
- That must be so good. - It's really good.
- I agree.
Ladies will approve of it too.
- It's probably because French butter is good. - It's mostly made of butter.
- Really?
- Pastry dough are made of a lot of butter.
- So it tastes good because the butter is high quality.
- Italian butter is good too.
- French pastries are unbeatable.
In my opinion.
- France is famous for alcohol.
- Alcohol? - Alcohol.
It's famous for sparkling wine
and it makes almost all kinds of alcohols. - That's right.
Even whiskey.
- Which country came in 8th place?
- 8th place is Japan.
- 8th place?
- It's popularity might've dropped after the radiation leakage,
but it's still high up on the list.
- Didn't the radiation affect it a little?
- Yes, a lot.
It has been greatly affected after the earthquake.
Korea also placed regulations on Japanese imported products. - That's right.
- One company that targeted Korean customers,
went down 40% in its exports.
Many companies even went bankrupt.
It affected not just in overseas market, but Japanese market as well.
It used to be higher on the list.
- I thought it would be in 1st place.
- What are some of the best products by Japan?
- Game consoles.
- It started with Nintendo.
I used to play Gameboy and
I think that Japanese game devices are the best.
- They make good cameras.
- Yes, that's right.
- I used many different cameras for making videos and Japanese cameras are great./>
- What's even better is the potato peeler.
- Yes, Japan makes good knives. - Really good knives.
- Try using Pakistani knives.
- I searched online and Pakistan doesn't sell knives.
- Japan makes really good watches.
- Watches?
- Doesn't Switzerland make the best watches?
- Oh, that brand?
- The Jeo-ri-'Casio'.
- In Pakistan, there are only Japanese cars.
It's always been really popular
and Japanese cars are very durable.
It's good for driving up the mountains.
So people only drive Japanese cars... - What about Korean cars?
- There aren't many Korean cars yet.
- Really?
- I think they're talking with Hyundai and Kia to start importing,
but so far, there are only Japanese cars.
Anywhere in Pakistan.
- It's probably because Japanese cars are lighter.
I majored in engineering so I know a little about cars,
but German cars are much better in comparison.
It's because Japanese cars are lighter.
- So it's just light.
But it's not a bad thing.
They say that Japanese cars may be 'boring' but it's the most durable.
That's right.
- It' really strong.
- It doesn't break down and lasts long.
- The best of Japan.
- I have 2 products to mention.
The first one is a wash.
Bidet.
- When my father and I went to Japan, we used the bidet a lot.
So my father was worried about going back to France.
- Really? - Because it was so nice.
- You should buy him one.
- "We should buy a bidet for the father."
He was giving you a hint.
- I will buy him one.
- There is a smart bidet now.
- What's a smart bidet? - That sounds a little scary.
- You don't need to control the nozzle. It adjusts the nozzle automatically.
So is it looking at you?
Like face recognition.
- Like iris recognition.
"Welcome, master."
- It must be a guest.
- There's also an erasable pen. - Right, right.
- Frixion.
But you shouldn't use it on important documents or postcards.
Because you erase it with friction... - It erases with friction.
- And postcards can make frictions when they are being sent.
The important thing is that Christian can erase what I write.
So when we put our agreement on writing,
someone can modify it,
so you shouldn't use it on important documents.
- When I was a student,
Japan made the best writing utensils.
- I still have the High-tech pens that write very finely.
It was $2.50 back then so if I drop it...
- It will break. - Like this.
I remember lunch boxes when I was younger.
Japanese lunch boxes were popular.
- I remember too.
Zojirushi.
- Zojirushi.
If I put soup in it and open it during lunch time...
- So hot!
- I remember exaggerating even more.
Next up is 7th place.
7th place is Italy.
- Italy.
- Italy received high score on design.
Why are Italian products loved so much?
- Italy tends to have a lot of high-end products.
- Luxury brands.
- It makes expensive luxury furniture,
and luxury cars.
All from Italy.
- Yacht...
- Italy makes the most yachts worldwide.
They're made in Italy.
Expensive yachts.
Also, most glasses and sunglasses are made in Italy.
- Really?
- And most coffee machines are from Italy.
- Right. - Italy makes good coffee machines.
And we also make good fabrics.
France is good at making designs,
and Italy has good fabrics and leathers.
Italian leathers and shoes are really nice.
And food items as well.
Olive oil and pasta.
- There's a lot.
- I didn't think it was important where your olive oil was from,
but after using Italian olive oil,
I was so surprised to see how good it was.
- Is it different?
- I don't think I can use olive oils that are not from Italy anymore.
- Let's reveal 6th place. - 6th place, really?
6th place is Canada.
- Unbelievable.
- I was surprised too.
- But, there might be Germany on top.
- Probably.
- Canada?
What products are there? - Canadian maple syrup.
- And the parkas.
Yes.
Canada goose.
- Canada makes good baseball bats.
- Baseball mats?
- So you're saying you came in 6th place with a baseball bat?
That must be some great baseball bat. - A lot of MLB players
use Canadian baseball bats.
It costs about $160 to $200 for one bat.
- It came in 6th place with a baseball bat?
- What else?
- Why are you asking us that?
- iPhone is famous worldwide.
Not a car company...
- You need to read it in reverse.
- Ice hockey stick.
- Okay.
We'll pass.
- There's nothing. - We'll pass.
- I can't think of anything.
- Before smartphones came out on the market,
there was this phone in Canada.
It's hard to find these days though.
- It's still being sold.
- Okay.
Let's be positive.
- This is a legitimate survey result, so let's not doubt it.
- Let's look at 5th place.
5th place is Sweden.
4th place is England and 3rd place is the European Union.
- Made in EU. - Oh, that's why.
- They label products that has been made through different countries
as 'Made in EU'.
- Let's see which country came in 2nd place.
- Switzerland hasn't been mentioned yet.
Nor did China.
2nd place is Switzerland.
- Switzerland.
- It gained a positive image from luxury watch brands.
- I thought Switzerland would be in 1st place.
- What is there other than Swiss chocolates, watches and fedoras?
- Switzerland makes good machinery and make-up.
I heard it makes really good stem cell cream.
It's really famous in Korea too.
What's unique is that while products made in other countries are named
'Made in China' or 'Made in Canada',
products made in Switzerland are named 'Swiss-made'.
- So cool. - Right.
The watches...
- It's not important to make a lot of different products,
but to build a trustworthy image
as a manufacturing country...
- Brand image.
- That's why Canada can rank No.6 with baseball bats,
because this survey is based on brand image and customer satisfaction.
- That's right.
- Canada has this 'pure' image.
- Yes.
- It seems like they won't lie.
- Products from Switzerland are durable and trustworthy.
- So being labeled 'Swiss-made'
makes it like an independent brand.
Many consumers won't care which brand it is
as long as it is Swiss-made.
- Swiss-made products have the reputation of being expensive.
- 'Made in Canada' doesn't seem like it would be expensive though.
- People think it is good for its price.
- Last but not least, 1st place
1st place is...
- Germany and China are left.
Is it China, Pakistan or Mexico?
1st place is...
- Pakistan.
- It's Germany.
- Oh, is it Germany?
- As I expected.
- Germany.
- The evaluations showed that German products were durable ad high quality.
- That's right.
- There are brands like Lufthansa and Volkswagen.
- Volkswagen overcame their crisis.
- Despite the crisis, Volkswagen ranked
No.1 in global sales, surpassing Toyota.
- Really?
- In Germany, they sell various products other than cars such as medical equipment,
airplanes, rocket technology, medicine, beer and pencil.
There are many other products and
they export good children worldwide.
- Products for various areas.
- They don't export good children.
- They wouldn't be export me.
- I like this thing in Germany.
Muesli.
- Muesli... - You know Muesli, right?
You eat it with milk like cereal.
- You eat it with milk.
- In what place did Korea rank?
- Korea...
Ranked in 21st place for brand labels.
- Okay. - That's not bad.
- What are some of the best
and worst products in Korea.
Let's hear the best products first.
- Korea makes the best navigation.
- Navigation.
- I've been in Korea for a long time,
so I thought Korean navigation was the standard,
but when I went to Canada and saw their navigation,
it was the worst.
- Navigation made in the US is trash.
It's unusable.
- Trash, trash.
- Korean navigation are the best.
It shows the buildings nearby in 3d graphics.
- It shows people walking by and saying "Hello".
- If you go into a tunnel, it shows a tunnel graphic.
You know you're in a tunnel already, but it's nice.
- They tell you if a dog is walking by.
- I was in a cab once and
the navigation said "It's a left turn, howdy".
- There are different versions.
- I was so surprised.
- I heard a Pororo version too.
The voice actor for Pororo recorded it,
and the kids loved it.
- What else?
- I think Korea has the best ginseng.
- Many Chinese tourists buy ginseng. - It's good for you and easy to eat.
So I bought it for my mother every time I went to China,
and she says that it helps with her blood circulation.
- Such a good son.
- Is Korea famous for ginseng?
- Yes.
- It's one of the things you need to buy when you come to Korea.
- I had mistaken a Korean brand for a Mexican brand once.
- What brand?
- There was this tire shop in front of my house from before I was born.
I grew up thinking it was a Mexican brand,
but one day, my Korean friend came over to my house,
and he told me that there was a Korean shop in front my my store.
It was Kumho Tires.
For real.
- I thought it was an advertisement for Kumho Tire.
- It was right in front of my house.
- You must've been surprised.
- I didn't know it was Korean.
- How can you think that 'Kumho' is Mexican?
- It was written in English.
I thought it was a Spanish word
like Kumho Tires.
But after I thought about it,
Kumho wasn't a Spanish word. - Was it there since you were young?
It was there since I was little.
- Let's look at some of the countries that were outside the top 10.
Mexico placed 40th out of 50 countries.
- 40th place?
People might think that Mexico doesn't manufacture famous products,
but we have our beer.
Corona.
- Is it from Mexico?
- It's made in Mexico. - Exported worldwide...
- It is one of the most valuable brands in Mexico,
and the second most famous brand in South America.
It has great brand value.
It was also voted as the 5th most consumed beer in the world.
- Corona was the favorite beer of
the ex-French president Chirac.
- In what place did China rank?
- 49th place. - No way.
- Avoided 50th place though.
- Which country came in 50th place?
- Mexico...
- Is this real?
- How do you feel?
About China's ranking.
Were you shocked ? - I'm in panic.
China is the most advanced country for mass production.
- That's true.
- And China has highly advanced technology.
It made the world's fastest computer
and it has other great technologies.
- It's reputation is improving.
- It's rapidly improving.
- It might be due to prejudice, like Korea.
- Yes, and it takes a long time for perception to change.
I worked with a French person in Korea 10 years ago,
and he had seen a computer made in Singapore for the first time.
He was so surprised to see
a computer made in Singapore.
I told him that Asian countries make great electronic devices,
and he told me that he didn't know Singapore was such a modern country.
Some people still associate these countries with the natives.
The image of Asia as a country for tourism.
We used to think that way too.
It takes a long time for perceptions to change.
Pakistan wasn't included in the survey target.
- That's a problem.
- There's a problem.
I'll admit it. There's a problem.
Can you tell us about Pakistani products?
- Pakistan makes good soccer balls.
Yes, that's right.
- And for surgeries... - Knife, knife.
You've mentioned fruit knife so much that I've memorized it.
Surgery knife.
- I think Pakistan makes the best surgery equipment.
It's cost-friendly and high quality.
80% of soccer balls are made in a city in Pakistan.
We also make good cotton.
Many foreign countries have cheaper price,
and I think that people don't know about the quality of Pakistani products
because we lack the marketing skills.
If we improve the ability to brand ourselves,
we'll be able to show the true quality of Pakistani products.
- Zahid, you play an important role.
- Many people needs to know that
Pakistan makes good soccer balls and surgery knives.
- I hope all your countries will continue to make great products
and your country's reputation will rise in the global market.
Borderless Non-summit.
- Let's officially begin the debate.
- Before I welcome today's Korean representative,
we have a new daily Non-summit representative.
Please introduce yourself, Svetlana.
- Hello.
My name is Svetlana.
I'm 22 years old and I'm from Russia.
After watching 'Boys Over Flowers', I found Korean to be so beautiful.
So I ended up coming to Korea to learn Korean. - It hasn't been that long.
- You came to Korea because you found Korean to be very beautiful...
Not because the men looked good?
- No, really. I found Korean pronunciation to be so beautiful.
- Really?
- Korean men sounds really manly when they speak in Korean.
- Really? - I didn't know.
- And women sound really cute.
- Cuter than Japanese women?
- 'Boys Over Flowers' was really famous around the world.
There are many Mexican students
who started learning Korean because of that drama. - It's not originally Korean.
- It's originally from Japan.
- So that's how you became interested in Korea.
- I was studying by myself and then I decided to come to Korea.
- You were studying on your own.
That's a good expression.
- Today's Korean representatives are
dancing queens that have gone beyond girl groups, Hyo-yeon and Gong Minzy.
- Welcome.
Aye.
Everyone has a big smile right now.
Please introduce yourselves.
- I'm Hyo-yeon and I came back with a new single, 'Wannabe'.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Gong Minzy and I came back with a solo album as well.
Nice to meet you.
- I can't breathe well right now...
I'm so nervous.
- You can't breathe well?
- You seem to be breathing fine.
- No, I mean it.
- Who's making you nervous?
- H...Hyo-yeon.
I've been a fan of her since 2008.
I've watched all of her shows and she's my favorite celebrity.
- Why are you a fan of Hyo-yeon?
- I think she has a great personality.
She doesn't act fake and she's very straightforward.
- Not fake. - That's right.
- Thank you.
- So you think that other members of Girl's Generation are being fake?
- No, that's not true.
It's just...
- Please be calm.
Calm down.
- I came across Gong Minzy when I was in the US 8 years ago.
This was my first time coming to the studio full of excitement.
- You're a top celebrity if you're recognized by Nik.
- So jealous.
- You're both big leaders in KPOP,
so you must've been to many different countries.
- Yes.
- The fans in each country are very different, right?
- Yes, and I was so surprised when I went to Europe.
In Paris, there was this concert by different idol groups
and all the balloons were pink.
I was surprised back then.
- Minzy, fans from which country do you find the most memorable?
- I went to LA once and
I was using the restroom at an outlet mall.
I was washing my hands and an African American woman
who looked like Naomi Campbell was washing her hands beside me
and looked at my eyes in the mirror and said "Hello, Minzy".
- So chic.
- Isn't that a scene from the movie 'Scream'?
- "Hello, Sydney."
"Hello, Minzy."
- There was a fan like that.
- And when I go to Japan, people would cry when they see me.
While they're asking me if they can shake hands with me,
they would start crying.
- Were you two close with each other?
- We debuted around the same time
and we visited each other in waiting rooms.
- It's a unique combination.
- I wonder who will win in a dance battle.
- I want to see.
- They do different genres. - A battle.
- Don't you acknowledge each other?
Acknowledging each other's skills.
- I do follow up.
- That's right.
- I saw her doing a freestyle recently
and I could tell that she hadn't stopped practicing.
Because it's hard to do a good freestyle
if you don't keep practicing. - On the spot.
- It's difficult to make something up on the spot.
Yet, she did a great hip hop improvisation.
So I thought she did really good.
- A video of Hyo-yeon dancing was really popular before I went into YG.
So when I was learning how to dance
I watched her videos and I wanted to become just like her.
She was my motivation.
- Let's hear Hyo-yeon and Minzy's agenda for the 152nd Non-Summit.
- I've been into dance my whole life,
so I brought this agenda.
- Am I abnormal to think that dance should be acknowledged as art?
- There has always been a debate on the boundaries of art,
but what made you think of this?
- Dance is the process of expressing your emotions with your body,
so I think that it's art.
Expression of emotions.
- Broadcasting dance is easy to learn now,
so it might seem really easy,
but it can take up to 6 months
to create a 3-minute dance routine.
So I raised this agenda
because I think dance is art.
- That's right.
- Am I abnormal to think that dance should be acknowledged as art?
Let's start the discussion on this agenda.
- Dance is the communication through the body.
I think it portrays the thoughts and the society of the time.
Let's start talking about traditional dance.
Traditional dance of each country.
- Germany is famous for Waltz.
- Waltz.
- Waltz is one of the oldest traditional dances,
and it is the first dance that involved
a man and a woman dancing hand in hand.
- Nik, can you do the Waltz?
- Waltz?
I...
First of all... - In front of Minzy.
- Your ears turned into Kimchi dumplings.
- You can't do the Waltz if you didn't learn it.
I never learnt the Waltz.
- Do you know the French can-can?
- Yes I do.
- The can-can dance originated from
people relieving stress by moving their legs and arms.
It's a more dynamic dance.
An English person saw it
and he thought the part where the dancers raise their legs was a little too naughty,
so he put an emphasis on it.
- The dancers wear a long dress. Right?
Wasn't the can-can skirt invented because of the can-can dance?
- Russia has many traditional dances
and the most famous one is the Cossack dance.
It appears in the Tetris game.
- When you clear a round.
- They pull the poor dancer's neck at the end.
- The dancers wear traditional outfits
and dance like this.
- Svetlana, can you do the dance?
- I can't.
You need to be really strong to do this.
- I'm not a good dancer, but this is the only dance I can do.
- You need to be really strong.
You must be really strong.
- Please show us.
- With Ogi?
Dance together.
- I'm going to copy Alex.
- A Swiss guy dancing a traditional Russian dance.
- Ogi, Ogi.
- Ogi.
- He must be good at it because he's lighter.
- He keeps moving backwards.
- Backwards.
- This is really hard.
- Nice.
- They're trying really hard because girl groups are here.
- There's a traditional American dance called the square dance.
Square dance is really popular in the suburbs
or regions with a lot of cowboys.
So it's sometimes called the cowboy dance.
8 people stand in a square
to do the square dance.
The red building you see very often
in American movies is called a barn.
- A barn.
- So everyone comes to the barn to do the square dance.
It's popular in the East.
- Which dance is popular in New York?
- Hip hop. - Just grinding.
- Grinding.
- Grinding is an old word.
- Mark, you must grind a lot.
- He said "just grinding".
"Just grinding."
- What I want to know is...
Grinding.
- There is a new dance genre called the Hiplet.
It combines elements of hip hop and ballet.
It blends the swag of hip hop and classical beauty of ballet,
and the dancer does hip hop while standing on tip toe.
It's really awesome.
- Amazing.
- Japan's traditional dance is called the Nihon Buyo and
it has 400 years of history.
You can think of it as a Kabuki dance.
The angle and the movement of the fan is
all planned out so the dance is very strict and it's not very open to the public.
Only Geishas can perform this dance
so it's a little difficult to approach,
but still it's a traditional dance that receives a lot of love and attention.
- Pakistan has a lot of traditional folk dances as well.
There is this dance called the dandiya.
Dandiya is actually a stick.
You dance with 2 sticks
and you tap with this stick.
The reason why we use this stick is because physical contact is not allowed,
so men and women dance with sticks
and they also dance like this.
- That's so sad.
Using sticks because they can't touch each other.
- So it's stick grinding.
- Stick grinding.
- Your heart must pound if your partner grabs the your dandiya.
- You can feel it like this. - But we're like...
- That's right.
Touching this stick is like physical contact to us.
- There are many different traditional dances in Korea too.
- Mrs. Gong Ok-Jin.
- My grandmother was designated as an intangible cultural asset
and she bends her joints like this
for a so-called 'Humpback dance',
and it's a traditional Korean dance.
- Hyo-yeon, can you think of any?
- I was really impressed by the Nongak dance.
Twirling the sangmo and playing the gong. - It's incredible.
- I was really impressed by it.
- In Korea, PSY's Gangnam Style dance
was a big hit nationwide.
Were there any hit dances in your countries as well?
- We had something similar to Gangnam Style.
A song called 'Little Apple' by Chopstick Brothers.
- It was a hit.
- It was really popular.
- Oh, I saw this.
They did a remake in Korea.
- It turns out that the choreographer
was Lee Joo-sun, the person who created Gangnam Style dance.
- A dance called a Kizomba.
It started in Angola and
it came to Italy through Portugal since Angola was a Portuguese colony.
It takes two to dance.
It's a very sexy dance.
- It's like a naughty Waltz.
- Rumba, rumba.
- There were flash mobs with 1000 people dancing Kizomba,
and it's even included in travel packages.
They do Kizomba nights at hotels.
I think it suits the Italian personality.
We don't have the sticks, so...
- Just using the body.
- Don't bother with the stick.
- I would've danced like that too.
- Bachata in Latin America.
- Bachata is too naughty.
- Bachata is...
You dance with your pelvis against your partner's pelvis
and you dance with your
legs crossed with each other.
- It almost looks like one person.
- A united soul.
- I tried dance sports before.
Whether it's Rumba, Bachata or Waltz,
I heard the basic position if the pelvis right next to one another.
- Pelvis contact.
- A girl group saying 'Pelvis contact'.
- There's a really famous rapper in Russia called L'ONE and
he released a song called 'Everyone do the elbow dance' in 2013.
This is actually a hip hop move.
You dance like this with your elbows.
- Oh, like this.
- Yes.
- Did he create this dance?
- Isn't this dance really popular?
- He made this dance.
- People even put up videos on the internet.
- The elbow dance.
- This guy made this dance?
- It's really famous like the dab dance in Korea.
- Oh, like the dab dance?
- Yes, like this.
- It's nothing big but it's full of swag.
- There's a soccer player named Paul Pogba in Europe,
and he started doing the dance for his goal ceremony.
Like this...
- He's good at it.
- He has a good rhythm.
So it became popular in Italy and the rest of Europe.
- There was TV show for the French presidential election,
and the students asked the Presidential candidate Fillon
to do the dance, but he did it wrong so there were a lot of parodies on it.
- There was this really popular group in Mexico.
It was a Spanish group called Las Ketchup

I don't know what it means but it became really popular.
- Isn't this a seal?
- A seal.
- Isn't this the Firefly? - It's the Shaky Leg dance.

"Brush your teeth when you get up in the morning".
- In a Swiss ski resort called Davos during the 1950s,
Werner Thomas was playing the accordion in a restaurant
and he came up with the song and the dance after watching the skiers.
- This dance is everywhere.
- There was this famous dance called the Jitterbug in the US.
Koreans pronounce it 'Jirubak'.
- It's a Japanese pronunciation. - It's a Japanese pronunciation.
Jitterbug originally means an angry bug.
An angry bug.
It was very popular in the 1930s and 1940s,
and its popularity faded for a while,
until it made an appearance in a GAP commercial in early 2000s.
The dancers in the commercials did a really good swing dance,
and Jitterbug regained its popularity.
- I don't think I've ever seen a Jitterbug dance.
It's also called the Swing.
- They say "Jitterbug" in a song by Wham,
and so that's what it was.
- Oh, was that Jitterbug?
Mark, please show us.
- Please show us.
I wan to see it.
- I want to see.
- I need a partner.
- Zahid can be your partner.
- Zahid has the stick.
- He can give you the stick.
- He keeps looking the other way.
Swing, swing.
- Say "Shall we dance?". "Shall we dance?"
- Give it a try.
- I hope he leads.
- There's no stick here.
- Like this. - This is not grinding.
- Nice, nice.
- It's good.
- Like this. - Okay.
Do we keep repeating this?
- Spin. - Shouldn't you spin around?
- I think Mark just went out to dance with Hyo-yeon.
- What do you think was the most popular dance?
- I think 'Gee' was the most popular in Paris and other parts of Europe.
The 'line dance' was the most popular in Japan.
- 'Genie'. - Yes.
- 'Genie'. - Yes, 'Genie'.
- 'Gee' was a huge hit in Europe.
- Everyone in Europe walked sideways.
When I'm up on the stage, I can't see the audience's legs,
but they all move sideways
so I can tell that they're doing the dance.
That's how I could tell.
- Everyone knows the lyrics when we sing 'Gee' at a Karaoke.
- Yes.
- So Ogi, you sing it too?
- I sing "Shine, shine, gee-gee-gee-gee".
- It sounds a little different.
- It's different.
- Minzy, what about you?
- For us, 'Fire' was the most popular.
Also, the dance for 'I don't care' was really popular too.
I don't care.
- Those two songs are the most popular in Karaokes.
- It was a huge hit.
- We talked about famous dances in each country,
and now we're going to talk about the dancing kings and queens in each country.
The global dance battle. Who's a better dancer?
- Challenge! - There's this woman named Sugawara Koharu.
You would probably know.
- She's an incredible dancer.
Her genre is hip hop.
- She's really good.
It's truly a work of art.
- She's really good.
- Wow.
- I heard that she started dancing by doing ballet when she was little
and she tried many different genres.
- She's very young.
- She was born in 1992 and she does a lot of work worldwide.
- We worked on a choreography with her.
- Right.
She became known to the public
through a dance she did on a commercial for BOSE.
- I've never been so amazed by watching someone dance.
I realized how artistic dance could be.
- I was truly amazed by your commercial too.
We should do a collaboration one day.
Koharu can't do my dance either.
- You both can't do each other's dance.
- In the US, Michael Jackson is the original dancing king.
I think he's truly the king of dance.
You all like the lean dance, right?
The leaning dance.
There is also the zombie dance for the song Thriller.
A bunch of zombies dancing.
So we call him the king of dance.
- In Russia, you can't forget to mention ballet.
There's this ballerina called Maya Plisetskaya.
She is called the best ballerina of the 20th century.
She was really good.
She danced a scene which depicts a dying swan,
and she became really famous for it.
She actually went to the lake
to observe the swan's movements.
- She observed the swan.
-Yes.
- If Russia has the world's best ballerina,
Italy has the world's best ballerino
named Roberto Vole.
- He must be handsome.
- He's actually really handsome.
He was really popular. - He must've been.
- Ballerinos have great physique.
- He's 190cm tall.
He performed in a well-known theater in New York,
and the next day, there was an article saying
"190cm tall, robust thighs, perfectly made in Italy".
He's a really great dancer.
- The funny thing about ballet is that the word ballet originated from Italian,
yet most of ballet terminology is in French.
This is because Louis the 14th loved ballet so much.
- Because he wanted to enjoy it.
- There's a 10-year old Latin dance prodigy named He Xiongfei,
and his nickname is the Latin Chopin.
He started learning Latin dance to lose weight,
but he turned out to be really good at it.
So a video of this kid dancing
reached 1 million views already.
There's even an emoticon of him.
- He started dancing to lose weight.
- Look at his facial expressions.
- His facial expression is just like PSY.
- He's cute.
Who do you think played an important role
in the history of dance in Korea?
- I think it's the B-boys in Korea.
They won 1st place countless times in international competitions.
- Minzy, how about you?
- I think a counterpart to Michael Jackson
is Korean Madonna, Kim Wan-sun.
I saw a video of her dancing and
everything from her charismatic looks and gestures were amazing.
- Since the old days.
- By herself.
- Did you see the clip where
Kim Wan-sun has 10 dolls attached to her side
and dances with the dolls. - So they move together?
- You can find the clip online.
Dance is highly related to one's flexibility.
Is there anyone in your country who became famous for flexibility
like Mr. Tong in Korea or Yogi Daniel?
- There's this guy who became really famous in 2015.
He came out on this show called 'Italy's Got Talent'.
This guy is really skinny and he isn't very good looking,
so when he first came on the stage, the MCs made a joke out of him.
- But when started dancing, everyone's jaws dropped.
His whole body is so flexible.
- Wow.
- Unbelievable.
- It would be really creepy if someone danced like that at the club.
- Drunk much?
- People would call the ambulance.
- There's this woman who is the most flexible person in Russia.
Her name is Zlata and she is unbelievably flexible.
She can fit into a 50cm box or inside of a small refrigerator.
- How is that possible?
- She was so flexible that she even got her body checked.
- Yes, that's too much... - But there was nothing wrong with her body.
- Nothing wrong.
- I'm sorry, but someone in China beat her last year.
- There is this girl in China
who did a battle with the Russian
where they bend their bodies backwards holding a rose with their mouths.
The Chinese did 15 so we won a Guinness world record.
And she also went inside a
50cm and 60cm boxes.
- Wow, that's amazing.
- She has to go inside the box.
- That looks painful.
- I think the Russian contestant looks bigger.
- She looks much bigger.
- Let's call both of them the best.
- In Germany, a Kenyan person
became famous on a TV show called 'Super Talent' because of his flexibility.
People call him the 'Snake man'.
- Wow.
- Snake man.
- They call him the Snake man.
- He's a snake.
- Snake man.
- There is this really famous animation dancer in Japan.
He's a popping dancer and he has really flexible chest.
- Really?
- It's incredible.
- Like this?
- It goes like this.
- Wow...
- This is the basics of isolation dance.
- The basis of popping is isolation...
- Can you do a little popping?
- Before doing the body roll...
- Amazing.
- So you have to practice one by one.
- Wow~
- I think Ogi can do this too.
- I used to do a little popping.
- Were you the Poppin' Ogi?
- Would you like to do a popping battle?
I'm not really good at freestyle, but...
- He already started.
- Any beat is fine.
- Any beat.
- Shall we make the beat?
- A battle of the dancers.
- Don't do it.
- Nice.
- Wow.
- This is difficult.
- A round of applause.
- Wow, he's good.
- He's not good.
- I've never seen Ogi dance.
- It's difficult to dance to this beat. - To this beat.
- He's much better than I expected.
- But I can't beat her.
- No, you were trying to beat her
when you did this.
- You were trying to win.
- You two are very flexible too, right?
- You did the split.
- I'm not that flexible.
- I think Minzy is the best at doing splits.
- I did a split for the first time for the song 'Fire',
and a lot of girl group members have been doing the split since then.
- So you were the first girl group member to do the split? - The original.
- Right, right.
- Amazing.
- Did you get in an accident once while being flexible?
- It was right after I debuted on a rainy day
and I couldn't control my excitement.
I get more excited when it rains.
When it rains.
- I know that feeling.
When you know that you look good.
"I'm on the stage, it's raining and I'm performing."
- There was my solo performance
for a song called 'Into The New World'
and I had to swing my leg back and then do a kick.
I couldn’t control my own power and I kicked my nose with my knee.
- That's difficult to do.
- You must be so flexible.
- It felt like my nose broke,
but I was a rookie so I couldn't check.
I couldn't tell if it was the rain or blood coming out of my nose.
That's how much it hurt.
- Amazing.
- In the past, a club called 'Moon Night' was the it place for the dancers.
Is there any hot place for dancers in your country?
- If you search best places to dance in the US,
Las Vegas will pop up.
The hottest club in Vegas is the XS and Marquee,
and that's where you should go to experience the nightlife in Vegas.
- I heard it was amazing.
Everyone parties like there's no tomorrow.
- There are two cities in Italy,
Rimini and Riccione.
These cities are usually pretty empty, but it gets really busy during the summer.
Many Europeans come to visit.
Visitors come from Russia, Germany and Northern Europe.
The nightlife there is crazy.
All the famous clubs in Italy are there.
And famous DJs play at these clubs,
which are some of the most famous DJs in the world.
And they party like there's no tomorrow.
It's out of this world.
- Salsa clubs are famous in Mexico.
- Salsa.
- It's really popular.
You can dance all night if you go to Mexico City.
It's a little overwhelming sometimes
because there are couples that are really good dancers.
They do professional turns and everything,
so it can be a little overwhelming to dance there.
But if you want to improve your dancing,
they hold dance classes at the club.
So you can take dance lessons during the day and go there at night to party.
- Do you go out dancing sometimes to relieve your stress?
- Of course.
- Hyo-yeon is a clubber.
- Why a clubber?
- Why are you in a frenzy?
- I just asked.
For casual dancing, I go to a place called 'Brown' in Hongdae.
It has dimmer lights than other places
and it plays a nice mix of deep house and pop.
But I think that it's a hot place
if you're having a good time.
- In China, people dance in squares.
Dancing in squares is really popular in China.
There are many great dancers in the squares.
There are some controversies because of this,
because it gets a little too loud.
I can cause annoyance to the people nearby
so older women wear earphones
to dance in squares quietly.
- They dance outside in Pakistan too and it's the K2 mountain.
The base camp of K2 mountains where hikers meet.
It's a hot place because...
- It's really hot.
- Base camp.
- I heard there are a lot of good looking people there.
- It has great water and air.
- The K2 is the hardest mountain to climb.
And people have to wait a long time
because they have to wait for the weather to clear up.
So they have to kill time at night and they clap and dance.
This video went viral online
where a this man is dancing
and a very beautiful German woman comes up and starts dancing with him.
So they engaged in a physical contact.
- They shouldn't do that.
- So... - The cane.
- It's really cold there so you shouldn't hold the cane.
- A hiking cane.
- So they danced like this,
and he passed out because he panicked too much.
- He passed out?
- It must've been his first physical contact with a woman.
- It was his first shoulder hug.
- Never before.
- He never thought that such a day would come.
- I want to introduce a hot place in Japan.
It's actually a middle school.
- A middle school? - A middle school?
- Yes, because dance became a
mandatory subject since 2012.
- Wow.
- So students can choose from
folk dance, creative dance and hip hop dance.
- It wasn't a mandatory subject when you were in school, right?
- No, it wasn't and I took dance courses in university.
But now they learn dance in middle school.
It's considered as a way of self-expression.
- I think it's mandatory.
I was asked for a dance by someone
while drinking and I actually rejected.
And this person beside me thought I was crazy...
- For acting so rude.
- I really didn't know how to dance,
but they said that I could just stand there.
I felt really sorry and embarrassed.
I can't do a slow dance either.
- We learn dance with pictures on a textbook.
- So you do a bet where you win if you open up a page with the most people.
- So silly.
- I think it's better to learn it.
- Minzy is running a dance academy.
- Yes, I am.
- Really? - Are you a teacher?
- I'm doing the monthly evaluation.
- Which dance academy? - She's like the director.
- Many of the students dream of becoming a singer or a dancer,
but they don't know
the right path to become one.
I wanted to provide them some advice so I created the academy.
- Dance can touch the heart of many people
just through a single movement.
Was there cases where
people touched each other's hearts through dancing in your countries?
- For the Elderly's Day in 2013,
there was a commercial with an old lady in a Kimono doing a popping dance.
She was in her 60s and had started doing popping dance since she was in her 40s.
She started dancing as a hobby
but she became a really good dancer and touched many people's hearts.
- Wow...
Wow.
- She looks so cute.
- Wow. - She's a lot better than that.
- It looks like computer graphics.
- Like Jo PD back in the days.
It's a CG.
- She's good. - She's really good.
- Wow.
- Bruno Mars even posted a thank you message on his SNS.
- In the US, there is this ordinary salary man named Matt.
He found his job meaningless
so he quit his work to travel around the world.
He did a dance in the squares of each country he visited,
and it was a huge hit.
People loved it.
- It was really popular.
- So a company sponsored him to travel to 44 countries in 14 months.
He made a video compilation of this dance
and it is really touching.
Because you can see how everyone is the same regardless of where they live.
We're all the same human being.
- They didn't get paid to dance,
but he just asked those people
to dance with him.
So it's very heartwarming.
- In Mexico, a wheelchair couple dance got a lot of attention.
A 8-year old boy had to live in a wheelchair
and he got into the Mexican Sports Association for the disabled,
and he ended up meeting this girl.
She's not a disabled person,
but they made a couple dance team.
They started practicing together and entering competitions
and they won medals in international competitions.
- In Italy, there was this nun named Anna.
She dreamed of becoming a ballerina ever since she was young.
In some Italian clubs, there are females
who dance almost half naked on top of a cube.
We call it 'Cubiste' in Italian,
and this nun used to be a Cubiste.
She used to live her life meaninglessly dancing at clubs,
and after coming to a realization, she became a nun.
What got even more attention is that
she dances during the mass and opened a dance school called Holy Dance.
- Oh, holy dance.
- She created a Holy dance school
where they learn how to dance while praying.
She became really famous after coming on a TV show.
- Were you ever touched or
moved by dance?
- I went to a fan meeting in Japan recently,
and a fan told me that she dreamed of becoming a dancer by watching my videos
and she had actually become a dancer.
I was really touched by it.
- I had a similar case where my fan came to Korea to learn Korean
and her goal was to do a dance battle with me.
So...
- "My goal is to beat you."
- Yes.
So she kept video recording herself dancing
and she asked me if I would accept a battle with her
when she reached a certain level.
- Where was she from?
- I think she was from Japan.
- Wasn't it Ogi?
- I guess he's not at that level yet.
- Agenda brought by Hyo-yeon and Gong Minzy for the 152nd Non-summit,
"Art should be treated as a form of art".
"Am I abnormal to think this?"
We held a discussion on this topic.
To the two guests who love dancing,
The legendary dancing king Michael Jackson said...
- "The biggest mistake that a dancer can make is to think."
- It's all about the feeling.
- Just feel it.
- Don't worry about anything when you dance
and we hope you continue to amaze us with your dancing that is well beyond art.
- Thank you.
- How was it today?
- It was very interesting to talk about
the dances in different countries,
which is a topic that I'm always into.
Thank you.
- And Minzy?
- I'm a big fan of this show,
and it was so fun to be here today.
I think I got to know more about the different dances around the world.
I had such a great time.
- What are your plans for future work?
- I did my comeback last week,
so I'll be doing my solo work until next week.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
- And Minzy?
- I came back with a song called 'Ninano',
and I plan to interact more with my global fans.
- We'll be rooting for you.
- We will adjourn today's Non-summit.
- Until the day we all reach the summit.
- This is an old song,
but I think it was made with our two guests in mind.
You are the dancing queen.
- Thank you.
- New governments by new leaders have been formed in each country.
- Trump's handshake.
- It's the most awkward handshake.
- Does that make sense?
- It's usually like this.
- There's even a word 'good-looking hegemony' now.
- He always ranks as the sexiest and the most handsome leader.
- People even said that they would sleep with the president.
- Trump is really sensitive about it.
- The most good-looking head of state.
- Here's a shocking news.
- She was the first Asian to receive the Grammy award.
- It's a voice given by god.
- The vocalist of miracle, Jo Sumi.
- Hello.
Am I abnormal to think that music is a universal language?
- Classical music seems like a bourgeois culture.
- People wearing jeans wouldn't listen to it.
- I think it's for the minority.
- Classical music is not difficult at all.
I hope that more people would start listening to classical music.
I'll be in charge of the music today.
- She speaks better German than me.
- I haven't sung for 3 months.
I was having a really hard time.
It made me cry.
I was the first in Korea...
