While top representatives from each country...
were convening at the UN to discuss global peace-keeping and security,
despite the lack of any official recognition,
the self-appointed G's from around the world are convening for the peace-keeping...
and security of global youths,
hence the Non Summit Meeting.
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! - We are Junyoosung!
Chunbun's around the corner, guys. Tyler, do you even know what Chunbun is?
- You don't, right? - I am not sure what it is.
(Tyler Rasch was a foreigner too)
- Only Koreans know this. - Tyler is likable.
(There's something Tyler doesn't know)
Yuan, do you know what Kyungchip is?
It's Chinese words. Chunbun is Chinese word too.
- So what is it? - Kyunghi? (scenary: similar pronunciation)
Scenery is nice.
What a nice scenery.
This place has the best scenery.
Anyways, let's talk about the place to go in the spring.
There's a great place to go in Germany. It's called Sonthofen.
The place looks like this.
It's located near the Alps in southern part of Germany.
It's incredibly beautiful and the air is so clean.
It's a great place to take a walk. The mountain tops are always covered in snow.
It's beautiful like the paintings of Monet.
Monet's paintings are splendid.
Nature is beautiful there with all the mountains and lakes.
It looks like it.
In Italy, we call spring a season for love.
In Italy, it seems like all the seasons are for love.
You fall in love in the spring,
- you love passionately in the summer, - Things heat up.
You get cold in the winter?
You breakup in the winter.
(Bad boy Alberto)
There are places people love to go in the spring.
In the northwestern Italy, there's a region called Liguria.
In Liguria, you see a string of villages called Cinque Terre.
Cinque Terre.
It's breathtaking.
- Look at the color of the sea. - Unbelievable.
There are five seaside villages.
It's so beautiful that it was chosen as UNESCO World Heritage in 1997.
It's widely known now. The interesting thing about this place is that-
The southernmost town is called Riomaggiore.
There's a path where you can take a walk by the sea.
It's called the Way of Love. Via dell'Amore.
You have mountains and wineries on one side.
And there's the ocean on the other side.
Many lovers go there to spend time together.
It's a place loved by both families and lovers.
It's so pretty.
There's a lovely place I'd like to recommend.
There's a place called the Lovers' Wall in Shanghai.
- Lovers' wall. - That's at night.
It kind of looks like Banpo Bridge.
Banpo Bridge is gorgeous.
- I like Dongho Bridge too. - There are better pictures of the place.
Since 1970s, many people think of this place
as the most romantic place in China and go there with their lovers.
So when you have a chance, Hyun-moo and Si-kyung should--
You want us to go together?
No, with you girlfriends when you have one.
Like a double-outing.
Double-outing.
I'm sorry. What a weird thing to say. I meant double-date.
Who says double-outing these days?
I don't think it'll look very beautiful if you did double-outing.
That was such an antiquated way to say. I'm so embarrassed.
Germany and China out.
I loved Italy.
(Alberto is happy)
Look at the pictures.
- Why are you getting offended? - There are better pictures.
Banpo Bridge wins.
Which one would you go?
Guys, if you go to Banpo Bridge, you can order deliveries.
(Food before picnic)
There are places you can kiss secretly...
Thanks for sharing.
We hope everyone will take some time off from their busy schedule,
and spend a quality time with loved ones.
Let's find out about people's pride in their countries
and dispel stereotypes in other countries, "What country? Neighboring country!"
I'm looking forward to today's guest.
Today's guest representative is from the happiest country.
Linchen Dawa from Bhutan.
(Linchen Dawa, 22 years old. Student)
(A Kingdom of the Himalayas)
(The country that ranked the highest in gross national happiness)
- I feel happy already. - I am so happy.
(His entrance alone makes people happy)
- Hello. - Happiness pours in the moment he opens the door.
He has such happy look on his face.
Did something good happen?
No.
I think good things happen all the time.
- You get mad sometimes, right? - Of course.
Can you show us your angry face?
I think that will be hard. I am not angry right now.
I am sure Hyun-moo will drive you up the wall.
I will make you really angry, I promise.
I can see that his happy face is genuine. He's not faking a smile.
You can tell he's always been content and happy.
Please introduce yourself.
Hi, my name is Linchen.
I'm 22 years old.
I'm studying Economics at Kyunghee University.
I'm Linchen from Bhutan.
It's been five years since I came to Korea.
5 years?
I came across Korean drama when I was in high school.
It was "Autumn in My Heart." The drama was very popular in Bhutan.
Really?
Yes, and I got an opportunity to study abroad in Korea.
That's how I came here.
Wow.
- Your Korean is excellent. - He's really good.
We have to ask this question.
Bhutan is known as the happiest country of all. I'm sure you get this all the time
- Yes. Everyone asks this. - We must ask this one.
Bhutan is known as the country with the highest happiness level.
It's called Gross National Happiness.
They say what Bhutanese care the most is GNH, not GNP,
gross national product.
We put the biggest emphasis on happiness.
Is it related to religion?
Sure. For example,
Buddhism asks people to be content in present.
That’s why Bhutanese are content with the little they have
and feel happy about it.
- I feel happy just looking at him. - So do I.
Just looking at him makes me smile.
97% of Bhutanese said they are happy.
There's a report that shows that
even though the GDP of Bhutan is only about $2,500,
the people are happy.
Is it true that Bhutanese are jealous of Koreans?
- That's correct. - Why is that?
We had neither TV nor internet until 1999.
It was forbidden.
Until 1999?
Yet they are happy.
Maybe that's why they are happy.
- No way. - They were free of relative inferiority.
They wanted to preserve our own culture.
Native culture is endangered when you start admitting other cultures.
That's why they forbade the use of internet and TV until 1999.
The fourth king of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, opened the door for other cultures.
Since then we had lots of music and movies from India.
These days, Hallyu is bigger than Bollywood.
If you ask someone in the streets if they were happy,
you might get an answer that they would be happier in Korea where EXO is.
- Is EXO that popular? - Very much so.
We watch lots of Korean dramas and love KPOP.
- You said you loved Autumn in My Heart. - Yes.
How did you feel when you saw Song Hye-gyo on TV in Korea?
I don't watch lots of TV in Korea.
I need to study.
It's hard to see Song Hye-gyo whether you're in Korea or Bhutan.
- I've never seen her either. - I've never met EXO.
I've met EXO.
People in Bhutan know lots of KPOP news.
I've met Song Hye-gyo.
(They are so juvenile)
I've held hands with Chloë Grace Moretz.
You guys be quiet.
(Chairman wins)
You guys are all familiar with the Chinese actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai?
He got married in Bhutan in 2008.
Right, he did.
- His wife is also a popular actress. - yes, Carina Lau.
Carina Lau.
Leung Chiu-wai and Carina Lau.
Why do all the guests have the same hairstyle?
People in this picture look all so happy.
Look at the children smiling.
They got married in Bhutan because Leung Chiu-wai is a Buddhist,
Because Bhutan has peaceful atmosphere,
they thought it would be nice to have a wedding there.
They had their wedding at the hotel 2300m above the sea level.
The king of Bhutan presided over their wedding.
Before that, Chinese people didn't know much about Bhutan.
Because of their wedding, now they are more interested and travel there often.
Yes, I wanted to talk about this.
Most of the tourists in Bhutan were Japanese before the wedding.
But now we have most Chinese tourists.
- After Chiu-wai's wedding? - Yes.
When I first came to Korea, my roommate was from Bhutan.
- Really? - That's rare.
- Was he a happy fellow? - Yes, very happy.
There was one thing he always mentioned when he talked about Bhutan.
He talked about Taktsang all the time.
What is Taktsang like?
Taktsang is the most famous place in Bhutan.
- Yes, that's Taktsang. - It's gorgeous.
This temple is located on a very stiff cliff.
It's called the heart of Bhutan.
They say that Padma Sambava who spread Buddhism in Bhutan flew in
on a tiger's back and meditated on the cliff for three months.
- He flew in on a tiger's back? - Yes.
That's why they call it Tiger's nest in English.
- Tiger's nest. - Yes.
4th ruler of Bhutan, Druk Desi Tenzin Rabgye
ordered the temple to be built in 1692.
It was completed in two years.
Unfortunately, the temple caught fire in 1998.
They restored the temple in 2004, and that's what's in the picture.
They built it again.
Who is Padma Sambava?
- The name alone emits importance. - He must have been an important person.
Samba?
He was the first one to spread Tibetan Buddhism in Bhutan.
He's a very important figure in Bhutan.
I also would like to introduce the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu.
Thim means being low.
And Phu means a mountain.
Our capital city is known as the most quiet capital in the world.
- He smiled as he said that. - So cute.
I visited Thimphu once. I felt like there was no one in the city.
- When it's a capital city? - Yes.
It's very quiet.
And as befitting to Bhutan, a Buddhist country,
a large Buddha statue is overlooking the city.
A Buddha statue overlooking Thimphu.
It's one of the biggest Buddha statues in the world.
- The city down there is Thimphu? - Yes, that's right.
I love traveling and always wanted to go to Bhutan since I was young.
But I heard that I must travel with a guide appointed by the government
and stay at the arranged hotel,
and it's also very expensive.
Backpacking is not permitted in Bhutan.
It's forbidden.
Because Bhutan is such a small country with the population of only 700,000.
They think it's a bit dangerous to have too many foreigners.
So they impose certain restrictions.
There are two ways to travel in Bhutan.
One is to go through a travel agency.
And the other is to get an invitation from a Bhutan citizen.
We can go anywhere if you accompany us?
Yes, you can.
(Everyone wants to be his friend)
- Let's go to Bhutan. - But we have some strict rules.
I can only invite up to two people in a year.
Only two people?
You have to report to the government?
There are so many documents you have to file.
- Let's be friends. - We have to make a good impression.
Hyun-moo is out.
He's not allowed to enter.
I'd like to expound on the rules regarding tourism.
There are peak seasons and low seasons.
Peak seasons include spring and fall.
If you want to go during the peak season, you need to pay $250 a month.
When you pay the sum, they provide you with hotel, transportation.
It's provided.
They provide food too.
So it's not really expensive when you think about it.
So the tourists are not paying separate fees.
The government is providing everything with the fee.
- They will take care of you. - It doesn't sound bad at all.
How are the accommodations? Are they decent?
It's pretty amazing.
I took my European friend last time.
It was really good. Nice hotel and transportation.
I'm sure there are places only you know that's not on the government's list.
- Yes. - You can't take them there, right?
Yes I can.
- When you invite someone. - There are so many places to go.
Once you enter Bhutan, you can go anywhere you want.
You just have to go with the guide.
It's okay as long as you are with a guide.
Does the government appoint a guide for you?
The guide has to be licensed.
If you don't have a license, you can't be a guide.
Bhutan's government spends their income from tourism for
maintaining clean environment.
Oh.
Bhutan is a late runner, if you will.
So we know what other countries have experienced.
For example, Nepal and Ladakh were beautiful countries, but
as they got more and more visitors, the pollution got worse, and
their cultures were affected, too.
So, to prevent something like that from happening,
we ask visitors not to litter and stuff.
So you learned from neighboring countries' examples and created a policy like that.
That's right.
I heard there are no traffic lights, and
people wearing white gloves control the traffic.
The people with the white gloves are police officers.
This is a police officer.
Yes, a police officer.
Wow, it's really a police officer.
- Look at all those cars. - But the air's so clean.
Yes, we're the only country that doesn't have traffic lights.
What if a car cuts in front of you? Don't you honk?
I think the police officers are doing a great job.
We used to have traffic lights.
But the people thought that it was too strict and harsh to have them.
So they didn't like it.
What happens if you ignore the police officer?
Oh, you can't do that.
Do they give you a ticket smiling?
$50.
I think you can make him angry before the end of the day.
I think so.
He agreed.
This is a different topic, but we're seeing fewer and fewer traffic lights in Europe.
- Oh, really? - They're changing them to roundabouts.
There are hardly any traffic lights in northern Italy.
- I like roundabouts. - They're great.
I wish we had more of them in Korea.
I heard Hallyu is really big in Bhutan. Are Korean cars popular too?
They all drive Korean cars.
Wow. Really?
Which one is the most popular?
- Tucson. - Tucson!
- Hyundai. - Tucson...
But they're way more expensive in Bhutan than in Korea.
Why?
Because we care a lot about the environment,
we have to pay the environment tax, the import tax...
We have to pay a lot of tax, so
a $30,000 car in Korea is almost $50,000 in Bhutan.
($50,000)
I saw something funny. It's about cars.
When they first saw a car in Bhutan,
they tried to feed it, thinking it was a cow.
- That's-- - I read it online.
That's cute.
Put a rope around the tire, and go "come on."
I'm going to beat him up later.
Whoa. Przemysław.
Hyun-moo's been trying so hard, and you
did it with just one comment.
"I'm going to beat him up."
Smiling. "I'm going to beat him up."
I haven't heard about that.
I guess it is possible... When they saw it for the first time.
Alright.
I heard that there's a government office that approves citizens' rebirth.
- What? - Rebirth?
Yes, that is true.
We have a Reincarnation Committee in Bhutan.
Reincarnation Committee?
We call a reborn master Tulku.
- "Tulku?" - Tulku means a reborn master.
A reborn master.
We believe that they are holy.
So, we didn't have this problem before, but
now we have a lot of people who lie about being a reborn master.
That's how the Reincarnation Committee started.
They do different kinds of tests.
You must remember 75% of the memories from your past life,
and they put a lot of different objects in front of you
and you have to pick up the object you've used in your past life.
How do they know?
Who decides what kind of object you used in your past life?
I used this in my past life.
There are lots of enlightened monks in the Committee.
- They know if you lie. - The monks.
- They know. - Right.
Are there a lot of people who are approved?
Right now, I think there are about 25.
- Not a lot. - Yeah.
Not that many, because
it is not easy to be able to remember your past life.
Do you mean it is difficult to do?
I thought it wasn't possible.
In Mahayana Buddhism of Tibet,
if you really practiced asceticism in your past life,
you are able to remember what you did in your past life.
I don't know if this is because Bhutan is a Buddhist nation,
but I heard they never kill animals.
So what I heard is that if you eat meat, it's all imported meat.
A meat question, as expected.
It's not illegal to kill animals, but
in Mahayana Buddhism, all animals are your mothers.
Because of that, we import meat from India.
If you eat meat from other countries, aren't you eating their parents?
Good point. Make him angry.
That's right.
It's a good question.
In Bhutan, killing animals and eating is not the same thing as eating dead animals.
Killing it yourself and eating and eating the one killed by someone else.
If I kill it and eat it, it means that I wanted to eat it.
It's okay as long as you didn't kill it.
It doesn't matter when someone else has killed it.
I'm not saying it doesn't matter.
Because Bhutan is a Buddhist country,
the notion of "karma" is very much embedded in our culture.
That's why we are more forgiving when it comes to animals already killed.
You guys don't even fish then?
It's forbidden by the law.
Because there isn't a lot of fish in our liver.
We're trying to protect them.
Does it mean you don't eat fish?
We import them from India.
This happened to me once.
I went to a Chinese restaurant in Korea.
I ordered fish dish and the server said that
they just killed the fish.
I couldn't eat it.
They must have wanted to let you know how fresh it was.
- Right. - So you couldn’t eat?
I couldn't. Bhutanese can't eat those.
I guess you can't go to a fish market.
I really can't.
He must get really annoyed if people take him to a fish market.
How about some frozen fish?
I really can't.
How about live baby octopus?
- They would urge him to eat. - It's same as I killed it.
I don't know. It's something only Bhutanese can understand.
We understand. It's culture.
Could you introduce some Bhutanese food for us?
I'll start with the most representative dish.
It's called ema datshi.
Ema datshi.
Ema means chilli and datshi means cheese.
It's chilli cheese.
Yes, that' it.
- It's very spicy. Super spicy. - It looks spicy.
Chilli cheese?
It's made with only chilli and cheese.
- Is the chilli spicy? - Very.
How do you make it?
It's simple.
- You slice chilli. - I bet it's simple.
You mince some garlic and slice tomatoes.
Then add cheese.
You just have to mix them together.
It's not convenience store food, is it?
It does look really spicy though.
The pepper is really spicy, right?
Yes, really spicy.
You can say that this is kind of like curry of Bhutan.
- Curry? - With the spices?
Yes.
You eat that with rice.
- I love spicy food. - I want to challenge myself.
There are other foods too.
For example, the one you see on top is Sicaam paa.
It's very similar to pork belly.
The difference is that you have to dry these for a very long time.
That's why these are called sicaam.
And the one in the middle is beef.
You have to dry these for a long time too.
The one on the bottom is dumplings.
It's called Momo in Bhutanese.
It's similar to Korea's mandu.
Sometimes we put cheese in here, or meat.
And cilantro.
- Cilantro! - Sounds good.
There's a similar word in China too.
Momo.
Yeah, I think it's similar.
There's also an annual festival?
A traditional Bhutanese festival.
It's the Bumthang festival.
- Bumthang? - Yes.
It only takes place once a year.
It's more than just "let's all get together and have fun," it's also about blessing...
There's fire, too. A fire tunnel.
Do I have the right picture?
- You have to pass the fire tunnel. - Fire tunnel?
People have to pass between the fires.
Oh, in between the fires.
When they pass through the fire, their bodies and minds are cleansed...
A cleanse. I see.
I heard from somewhere..
when it snows for the first time, that day becomes a national holiday?
Is that right?
First day of snow is a national holiday?
Bhutanese people consider snow a symbol of luck.
So if it snows for the first time in Thimphu,
it becomes a national holiday.
Only in Thimphu, because
there's no snow in southern Bhutan. It's very hot.
Most Bhutanese are farmers.
There's a saying in Korea that snow means a successful harvest.
It's the same way in Bhutan.
There will be a lot of water if it snows a lot,
and that means a good year of harvesting.
(Good to see you, snow!)
What happens if it barely snows? Like a sleet?
Like it snows but it didn't really snow..
People disagree whether it was the first snow or not.
One goes, "it snowed!" The other goes, "Hey!"
There's a threshold.
It has to snow a lot to say that it snowed in Bhutan.
It has to snow a lot?
It has to pile up.
How much?
There's not a specific amount, but the news will tell you.
It airs on TV.
It snowed today.
It's the national holiday?
Is it the day of? Or the day after?
Do they tell you "You don't have to work today"? Or...
Like you have 10 minutes left of work.
What if it snows around 5:30 in the afternoon?
(Snow, why now?)
Sometimes it snows on Sunday too.
That makes people mad.
- Makes you mad, right? - So mad.
Why are you still smiling?
I get so mad.
(So cute)
There's something you got really mad over in Bhutan.
Things happen in life, you know?
Maybe it's because Bhutanese love snow.
I heard they believe that the snowman Yeti really exists?
To the Bhutanese people Yeti is a very scary creature. Very hairy and large.
They have a certain image of him.
(Scary)
They are scary.
(Yeti?)
I didn't know you had such a talent.
See Yeti's foot?
I heard it's over 30 cm.
When kids don't behave,
adults would say, "Be careful. Yeti might come get you."
It's a mythical creature though, right?
- Yes, right. - No one's seen him in real life right?
In 2014, a traveler from England came to Bhutan
and claimed to have seen Yeti's footprints and took a picture.
We don't know for sure if it's real or not.
These are the footprints right here.
These footprints?
Taken by the British person.
They walk like models do apparently.
Walking like a cat to you~
(Flirty)
Do they walk sideways like this?
(Tottering)
All these animal impersonations suit you.
(Like a crab)
It's not a place people can go and check out though.
- It's dangerous for people to go. - I see.
So we don't know for sure if they really do exist or not.
I heard women in Bhutan have a higher social standing than men?
This one was interesting.
That's not necessarily true.
Of course...
(Guess not...)
Where did you find that?
It differs by regions.
But generally in Bhutan, men have more power.
It was only in the recent year that women began to go to school.
So they had to depend on their husbands.
Men earn the living too.
Men can't help but to have more power.
Do women have more opportunities to be educated now?
Now, they do. Yes.
So women can have higher social positions now?
Yes, now they can.
I heard something interesting too.
Bhutanese people are known to be the happiest people
but they also have a high divorce rates?
- That's.. - Why is that?
Is that why people are happy?
Isn't Korea number 1 for that? Divorce rates?
Oh right.
(Changing subject)
Are you calling us out right now?
- Our happiness rating isn't so high though. - Are you making me mad?
I think more and more people are getting a divorce.
The divorce rate in Thimphu is 13.3% right now.
13.3?
Families in Bhutan are usually very close but
as the country develops and women being more socially active,
I think more people are cheating on their spouses.
So..
Why are you laughing as you say that?
Couples shouldn't cheat.
Same goes with men, as they get more socially active.
This is something we need to look over as a country.
If something like this grows worse,
we won't be able to be happy for long.
At what age do people usually get married around?
Around 23?
I would've been married if I were in Bhutan.
23?
I'm 22 right now.
In Bhutan, you're graduated from college by the time you're 21.
Bhutanese people don't think they have to have a house ready
like they do in Korea if they want to get married.
They just need to be employed.
Some people get married even though they're not employed.
Linchen. Do you have anyone in mind?
There's a lot of them.
Number 1 country on world happiness report!
(Secret to Bhutan's high happiness rating revealed?)
You can't stop laughing.
I knew something was up.
(Good for you)
I heard your king was selected as the sexiest leader in the world.
Is there a picture?
Let's see how sexy he is.
(Sexy king)
I have a friend that looks like this.
Me too!
The king is smiling too.
He's the 5th king.
His name is Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
He graduated from Oxford.
- Oxford? - Yes.
He studied a lot. He's very popular especially in Thailand.
They call him the prince charming.
(A family portrait)
This is our prince. He was born in February.
Is she the queen?
Yes, she's the queen.
Apparently the queen proposed to the king when she was little.
That she loves him and that she wants to marry him.
The king jokingly responded that he'll marry her when she grows up.
And it became true.
The queen is also one of the most beautiful queen in the world.
In the world?
They were in Japan a couple of years ago and it grabbed many people's attention.
They were on the news and people searched them on the internet.
Because the couple was just so lovely.
They're young too.
It was in 2011.
When the Fukushima accident took place,
the king visited the country himself and met with the people.
He's really an amazing person.
He's very kind.
He talked with the students and spent time with them there.
From what I know, the social welfare in Bhutan is pretty good.
Is that true?
Yes, it's true.
Educational and medical expenses are free in Bhutan.
In terms of education, it's free up until high school.
But even after college, if you're studying hard and work for the government,
you can also go to graduate school for free.
You can get your doctorate degree for free.
They provide free medical insurance to foreigners even though the country is poor.
Really?
It's free for everyone.
All treatment expenses are free as well.
If it's a health condition that doctors in Bhutan cannot treat,
the government sends you to Thailand.
Really?
Thailand and sometimes India as well.
For you to get treated.
I think I know why everyone's happy there.
He's saying that social welfare is good and everything.
Although it may not sound like they're the fanciest thing to us,
I think they're happy because they're happy with what they have.
(Bhutanese people are happy because they know to be happy with what they already have)
"What Country? Neighbor Country!" Bhutan special with Linchen.
It's been fun!
We'll invite in Korea's representative today.
These guests will bring the scent of Spring to this dull studio filled with aged men.
These young men!
- They're men.. - Yes.
Known for their beagle-like playfulness among all the idols.
B1A4's Baro and Sandeul!
(90th Korean representatives B1A4's Baro & Sandeul)
Known for their beagle-like playfulness among all the idols.
B1A4's Baro & Sandeul!
(90th Korean representatives B1A4's Baro & Sandeul)
(Unenthusiastic claps)
(Uninterested)
Hello.
You can place your name plaque down in front of you.
I feel like I'm in Europe.
From coming here?
(Everyone sits down)
Can you guys introduce yourselves?
They don't know B1A4.
Our group name is...
- They can all understand Korean right? - Of course.
They speak Korean too well.
They speak Korean better than me...
Our group name is B1A4.
There were 1 blood type B and 4 blood type A in our group so...
You don't have to explain so slowly. They understand everything.
They can understand.
They'll even understand Outsider rapping.
(Gotcha)
Anyone know B1A4's songs?
(Shaking heads...)
You know this song?
I've heard of it.
We're good.
I'm sweating here.
Even when SHINee was here
Everyone was feeling pretty down.
(You can do it Baro & Sandeul)
Alright.
You guys tour around the world, right?
Have you been to any of their countries?
I personally.. oh, no one's here from there.. liked Spain.
We did a tour in Europe.
After coming back from Spain, I got interested in Spanish.
So I just started studying.
- Spain? - I see.
Spanish.. Tyler speaks a little bit. And..
Daniel and Carlos too.
Who's the best at Spanish here?
Carlos is good.
(You studied Spanish in Spain?)
Ah yes, hola.
(Says hi out of nowhere)
(Nervous)
(Shocked)
(I'm happy to be on Non-summit Meeting)
(That's great! You're welcome here)
Thank you.
But..
(That's it for today!)
(Thank you)
He's at the stage where he can say what he prepared and not think about the next.
Sandeul. Can you speak it better than him?
You study Chinese right?
(Then it's only natural to...)
Zhang Yuan!
How long have you studied Chinese?
Thank you.
(They sure know how to thank people)
I don't know!
My name is Sandeul.
I'm Zhang Yuan.
(Sighs..)
Nice to meet you.
Huh?
Is that Japanese?
That's Japanese!
Yes. I'm fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and English. 3 languages.
You can speak Japanese?
Alright. Japanese.
(You thought you were done?)
I'm sweating so much.
How long have you studied Japanese?
(Buffering...)
About 3 years.
You're better at it than Chinese.
(Surprised)
Why is he so good at Japanese though?
They must be surprised. Everyone's good at Korean and..
(Some difficult initiations here)
There's everything men hate here.
Men and foreign languages.
(Sweating)
Sandeul. I heard you are preparing for a musical.
Yes. I'll be playing the character d'Artagnan in the musical Three Musketeers.
I'm doing my best to be ready.
Is it your first time doing a musical?
No this will be my 5th musical.
Then, can we ask you to sing a verse for us?
That's right!
Yes. I'll sing for you guys.
(Looking forward to it)
Wait, but in order for me to sing this
I need something to hold in my hands.
I'm supposed to have a sword in my hands.
(Will this work?)
This is more like a hammer..
That's okay. This has a feeling of justice too.
Alright.
That's cool.
Good luck.
He's good looking.
Why do I feel so pressured here?
You do musicals. What do you mean pressuring?
These guys are saying, in Korean,
"Good luck."
When he said that, I was like..
Yes.
Just look ahead.
We're watching you.
(Three Musketeers' Romance in Paris)
(After meeting you~)
(Walks forward)
(I know now after meeting you, Hyun-moo)
(Takes his hand)
(That there's something else)
(I want to protect~)
(Shalala lala)
(Oh love~)
(It makes my heart beat, love)
(Passionate serenade)
(I'd rather not see this)
(Forever our love)
(Heart-throb)
(Hyun-moo, please take my hand now)
(Hyun-moo, can you hear my heartbeat?)
(Sandeul...)
(Come here)
(Turns his head)
(May our "friendship" last forever)
I'm happy.
(Bravo Sandeul!)
(That's right)
(Most difficult stage he's ever done)
He's good.
It's a good song too.
He knows how to deliver, carry out, and pronounce his notes.
My heart fluttered.
Thank you.
Why'd you come to me?
He was going to give you a kiss at the end but...
He was rejected.
I was really embarrassed.
You could do that dance slowly too?
It's just the difference of BPM.
I can do that dance to a Waltz song too.
I think it's Bhutanese dance.
Happiest dance in the world.
We'll look forward to your Three Musketeer musical.
That was amazing.
(We'll look forward to Sandeul's d'Artagnan)
We'll begin our 90th Non-Summit meeting.
Please present our youth's topic of discussion for the day.
I'm a freshman in college that just started school.
After surviving the competitive CSATs,
I thought what I only had left was to enjoy my college years.
But recently, I grew with a concern for something.
It was that I didn't know what to do with all this free time that I suddenly have.
Until high school, all I had to do was to follow my school and academy's schedule.
But in college, I suddenly had to schedule the day by myself.
I've read books of successful people and how they manage their time,
I tried following them but it was too hard.
So I tried doing nothing instead and to relax but
with everyone so busy doing self-developing these days,
I was worried if I could really waste a day like this.
I want to enter as the topic of discussion
"I'm anxious that I can't manage my own time. Am I abnormal?"
We hear that idol groups don't have much time either.
When we're busy, we're very busy.
And we take about 3 to 4 months preparing an album,
so we have a lot of free time when we're not busy.
There are times when we don't have work for a month.
- Do you get to rest then? - What do you do?
I usually spend a lot of time writing songs.
Come on.
That's not true.
(I'm Sherlock. I can find everything out.)
Turn off the cameras.
Pretend that the cameras are off.
Turn it around like this.
(Got ya!)
Alright then.
Let's say that today's filming got canceled all of a sudden,
- and you have the day off tomorrow. - So I got a day off.
You better not say you're going to write songs.
(Stops him from saying the right thing)
Good job. Good.
- I don't have anything in mind. - I bet you'll scroll through your phone.
There's Mi-sun, Young-ji...
"What you doing?" "What you doing?" "What you doing?"
Copy, paste. Copy, paste.
"Baro, do you know you sent me that twice?"
"I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry."
(He's so funny)
Anything you're hooked on these days?
I think I'd meet up with my friends.
- For a drink? - Yes.
- Sandeul? - And when it gets late...
"Are you asleep?" "Are you asleep?" "Are you asleep?"
(Clingy)
Texting them ""Are you asleep?"
(I'm the most clingy guy in this town)
In Korea where you are pushed to keep doing something,
they even say that efficient time management is a skill.
These days, many people say that they become anxious when they're not doing anything.
They call people who are stressed because they're always pressed for time, time poor.
- Time poor. - Yes.
That's what they're called. From a survey taken on a job site,
71.6% of the people who took the survey answered that they are time poor.
The biggest reason for this is the superman complex which
makes you feel like you have to be perfect at everything.
It means that more people are becoming anxious from the stress of time management.
We'll debate about time management with the representatives and Baro and Sandeul.
We'll begin the debate on whether it's abnormal for
someone to feel anxious from poor time management.
All right. Am I abnormal for being anxious about time management?
One, two, three!
Press your button if you think it's abnormal.
Baro and Sandeul have different opinions.
The person who submitted this topic is a student in Korea.
He followed the schedule of going to tutoring.
And as soon as he got into college,
he has a lot of free time and has to manage
his GPA and which lectures he'd like to take.
That's why he's worried.
I think that's completely normal.
When he's really busy and has no time, he can feel anxious at times.
But he's anxious when he has free time right now.
When is he going to stop feeling anxious?
There's no solution.
I used to be a pro gamer.
I didn't play games all day. I made a lot of memories,
- and I still won first place. - Right.
But there were people who played 30 or 40 games a day,
and what do they get?
I made a lot of memories, hung out a lot, and also worked.
- Then I'm the one who benefited. - Should I press it?
What the guy is worried about is not that he's getting
bad grades because of his poor time management.
The people around him are leading busy lives
and setting up plans to manage their time.
He's anxious because he doesn't do that and
feels like he's spending time inefficiently.
He's saying that from comparing himself to others.
Just because the people around him do a variety of stuff,
I think it's a little abnormal for him to think that he must do the same.
(Agrees completely) - I think it's normal because...
- He got persuaded by Tyler. - You made the right choice. Thank you.
He might turn it off later.
He's swayed easily.
Alberto, make him turn it off.
It can only be normal to become anxious about time management.
Everyone thinks that their time is precious and tries to use it efficiently.
But the problem is that you can't know right away
if you've spent your time efficiently or not.
I think you learn to manage your time well.
You can't be good at time management from the start.
This is worry is unnecessary.
- Why? - Because...
This person needs to set a goal first.
If you think about using your time wisely without even a goal,
- Right. - you'll be stressed.
- He should set a goal. - He needs to decide what he wants to do.
I don't think it's a problem to relax when you have a lot of time.
(Excuse me Mr. Norway)
He said that because, for me personally...
I'm someone who thinks that you can learn how to manage time from
a book because people generally learn everything from a book.
But I think that's the wrong way to view it.
- Me too. - So you agree with me.
- You're on his side. - Yes, I agree with him.
I was just trying to add to it.
(Adding to it with anger)
(Crying from laughing)
You have to be anxious to become successful later on.
If he's not anxious, he won't learn English or take other lessons.
What will he do once he graduates?
- He can relax... - First, he needs to
be anxious to work hard to prepare for the future.
- He can prepare himself. - But this guy--
Then he can become successful.
Why does everyone try to cut him off?
He says it louder and louder.
I don't want him to take his time.
Recently, I read a book by Monk Hae-min.
“Things You Can Finally See When You Stop”
Right.
It's good to have a goal, but in the process of working towards the goal,
he says it's also good to enjoy the view on the way.
He just needs to change a little. He shouldn't change completely.
Then I don't understand.
If you're saying that it's good to stop and look around...
- He's at a stop right now. - Then not managing one's time is...
He's at a stop, so he needs to move.
He should look around while he's moving.
(What is that?)
(He's very serious)
He's asking why you brought that up.
I think what Zhang Yuan said is vague.
But when a person is faced with a new situation all of a sudden,
they can think bad about themselves because everyone else is living differently.
But I don't think he should be stressed from worrying
so much and caring about what other people think.
It's normal to worry that you might be wasting time.
Like what Zhang Yuan said,
you need to be anxious so that you'll think about what you should do--
Because!
There's a Greek saying.
- A Greek saying? - Is that Greek?
How is it that I can understand Greek?
What if he's cursing?
It's better to regret something you did
than something you didn't do.
Sandeul, you don't look so good.
It's because, now that I've seen them in real life...
They're so good at expressing themselves.
I was just in shock.
To be honest...
(Happy that he joined their side)
You get swayed easily.
You said earlier that he needs to have a goal.
If I just have a goal even though I have little time--
He doesn't have a goal right now.
That's why I...
What he needs to worry about is not time management--
- No, instead... - He's going to press the button again.
He needs to worry.
I think it's great for him to worry.
What are you saying?
I'm having a mental breakdown right now.
Like what you said, even though he doesn't have a goal right now,
- Yes. - He can find a goal
- through good experience. - That's right.
That's what I wanted to say!
- So are you going to press it or not? - I didn't press it.
But isn't that abnormal if you think about it?
The person said he's just wasting his time.
He could've said he's enjoying it freely. That's how he'd feel relaxed.
But that's not how he put it.
He's thinking that he needs to do something because everyone else around him is busy.
That's why he's anxious.
Tyler sounds right!
(Being swayed)
It's not healthy
What Tyler said sounds very right.
I don't think it's healthy.
He could be doing fine, but he just--
Yeah, why is he worrying for no reason?!
It's not right because he's worrying for no reason.
(Expert at swaying Sandeul)
He won't even be able to sleep! He'll get insomnia from the stress.
(Alright, alright)
He gets swayed way too easily.
I think the difference lies in whether he intentionally
made himself free or just ended up being free.
Like what you all said, I think the goal is important.
Right.
I can relate to this topic a lot.
We have a guest who has been swayed the most easily on this show.
Please put in more input on the debate.
In Korea, we say time is gold.
It means that we should use every second wisely.
I wonder what the people in your countries think about time.
- How is it? - We're very strict about it.
There's a saying that Germans use often.
They're about the ethics.
Germans' morals, citizens' morals, and Prussians' morals.
We've been using these concepts for about 200 years now.
When Frederick William I took the throne,
German was in a big national debt.
In order to get out of the debt,
it became the citizens' morals to keep order,
be on time, be modest, and work diligently.
So these concepts have lasted until today.
Our government employees are very strict about it.
For example, lunch is at 12 o'clock.
If someone requests a file at 11:57,
and it will take about 5 to 10 minutes to process,
they don't do it.
They might not do it because it will go into their lunch time.
They tell them to come back at 2.
So there are a lot of jokes associated with that.
What kind of jokes?
You prepared them, huh?
(Of course I'm ready)
He likes it.
- Look at him getting ready. - Don't get too excited for it.
That scary red diary.
Oh, it's a new one.
- It's not black anymore. - That's the death note of humors.
I researched some jokes related to government employees.
I found about four.
Four?
(That many?) - Let's listen to one.
The fact that he said he "researched some jokes."
What's the national anthem for government employees?
Their song.
Their song...
What is it?
(A lonely dance)
I have another one.
Which type of government employee most disrupts the office environment?
Daniel.
You're disrupting this office.
Those who talk in their sleep.
Because they would wake the rest of them up?
Oh! The cameraman!
(Left all of a sudden)
(It's funny, right?)
(This won't work)
(Chokes from laughing)
(That was so bad)
He thought, "the director wouldn't use this."
I've never seen a cameraman walk back that fast.
The cameraman usually smiles.
What surprised me when I went to Germany was
the train arriving on time.
That doesn't happen in Italy.
Visit Egypt.
It comes 2 hours late.
You should visit Ghana.
(Go ahead)
Here comes Ghana.
Because the weather is hot,
the nation's style is to be 2 to 3 hours late to an appointment.
(Wow...)
2 to 3 hours is typical.
- Doesn't that mean it's canceled? - How do people meet?
Where are you supposed to wait?
If the plan was to meet...
If I want to meet Samy at 11,
I'd have to plan to meet at 9 to make it at 11.
Almost no one makes it on time.
So when foreigners come to do business in Ghana,
they get surprised.
They were supposed to meet at 9, but the other party come at around 10:30 or 11.
- That's for real. - Even for business?
Yes.
I used to work at the Embassy of Korea in Washington.
The ambassador said he'd like to hold a banquet for each region and asked me to call.
The official work hours are from 9 to 5, right?
- Right. - 9 to 5.
I called them in the morning, but they wouldn't answer.
They'd answer their phone once it's past 10:30.
- The employee at the embassy? - Yes.
Once it's lunch time, they won't be in the office from about 12 to 2.
And they have already went home around 3:30.
It was such a difficult task to make the banquet happen.
My superior kept asking me, and I told him that I'm still trying to contact them.
Their hours are from 9 to 5, but they come to work at around 10:30
and leave to get lunch around 12...
To be honest, once the clock hits 3, we start pestering our boss.
(Come on boss)
What's it like in Brazil?
They were the worst.
- They were the worst! - Brazil was the worst?
The whole South America was the worst.
It was December.
The Christmas holiday break had not started yet.
South America was the only place that the workers were already on break.
You're supposed to be on break in December!
We have December and January off.
Brazil is pretty bad.
In Brazil, people think it's rude to be on time.
What?
(We can only laugh)
(I give up)
Is it also okay to be late to school in Brazil?
Yes, it's okay since the teacher is late too.
For real?
(Shock and fear)
The teachers are late sometimes, and the students are too.
They both let it go?
Yes, they let it go.
When we were touring in South America, there was a time when I was very flustered.
It was the first time that this ever happened.
We were waiting backstage for our concert.
It was the time for the concert to start, but there wasn't a single person!
(I bet!)
(The South American audience is so polite)
We're in trouble. What are we going to do?
If you appeared on stage without knowing...
(Going off stage naturally)
What the funny thing was, people kept arriving during the concert.
We couldn't wait anymore.
(A thrilling memory of South America tour)
- Korea has a culture of "hurry, hurry." - Right.
But in Greece, there's a culture called "αύριο, αύριο."
It means, "tomorrow, tomorrow."
- Tomorrow? - Tomorrow.
It's the opposite of "hurry, hurry."
Funny things happened because of this.
Greece hosted the Olympics in 2004.
You know you have to build special stadiums to host the Olympics.
The Olympic staff worried a lot.
"We have to finish it fast. We don't have much time left."
The Greeks looked at the original plan and modified it.
What they did was,
"does this stadium really need a roof?"
(That's why a lot of arenas at the Greece Olympics didn't have a roof?)
(Greece beats Ghana and Brazil)
"Do people really need chairs?"
"Make them stand."
Let's make it a standing section.
The German guy looks like he can't understand at all.
Daniel is crying.
But in the end, it all worked out.
How wise.
(Hahaha)
(His neck hurts from laughing so much)
Do the members of Non Summit Meeting keep to the Korean concept of time
or do you still follow the one of your country?
I'm curious too.
There must be someone who doesn't suit your concept of time.
Mine doesn't suit Carlos.
- You guys went on a trip together though. - That's how I know.
I went on a trip with Carlos.
On the first day, we had a lot of fun and fell asleep.
But the next day, Carlos slept the whole day.
I wanted to do something every day because I didn't want to waste time on sleep.
Since I could sleep when I come to Korea.
He could've been tired from drinking.
- That's right. - That's the problem.
Seriously, the whole day.
Isn't this what couples fight about?
This sounds like a story from a honeymoon.
Honeymoon.
That's what people fight about the most on honeymoons.
He played one day and slept the next day and so on and so forth.
Then he came back to Korea.
- That's such a waste. - Doesn't he seem like the wife?
For me personally...
Guillaume is always very...
late.
- Guillaume is usually late? - Very late.
I agree.
But that's not characteristic of Canada. It's only Guillaume.
- It's an individual thing. - I also want to pick Guillaume.
We have a set time for our shoot,
but he's one of the people who always comes past that time.
- Guillaume does? - I have a reason.
Our writers even have his roommate's phone number.
When he doesn't answer his phone, they call his roommate right away.
They even use emergency contact.
There was an episode with Guillaume.
You know when we take breaks?
He starts eating when it's time to get back to shooting.
Always.
(There's always one slow starter wherever we go)
He opens his food when it's time to go back?
That's right.
He doesn't even wash up when he comes here.
(What???)
I've never done that. I always wash up before I come.
There was a time I didn't shave, but I do wash up.
(Game of truth)
But there's a reason I'm late.
- What is it? - I could walk here from my house.
- That's why you're late? - The closer you are,
you feel like you have more time.
When I was in high school, I lived really close to my school.
You're always late when you live close by.
The teacher would blow the whistle to tell people he's closing the gate.
I woke up to that sound and went to school.
(Excited tardy captain)
But you're not too tardy.
- I really lived that close by. - Then you were tardy.
I envy Guillaume.
It's because he doesn't worry about the future at all.
None at all.
- I envy that too. - I really envy it.
I'm being honest.
For real.
He's someone who enjoys the moment.
His personality is something I'd like to have.
Oh really?
Guillaume, how do you usually spend your 24 hours?
I go to sleep when the sun comes up.
What do you do until then?
I play games.
I'm either playing games or hanging out with my friends.
Drinking.
I wake up at 9 and watch the stock news.
You go to sleep when the sun comes up...
- You wake up early. - You only sleep for 3 hours?
Yes. Then, I go back to sleep around 10.
And then I wake up again around 2.
I watch the science news and play games.
When I play games, I just sleep when I'm tired because my bed is right next to me.
But when I'm hanging out with friends, I really don't need to sleep.
I don't know, but that's not how I want to live.
I really don't know, but that's not how I want to live.
But it sounds nice.
"Hm... I'm sleepy."
"I'll play games."
We made fun of Guillaume, but does anybody else have time issues?
Here's a weird one. Samy from Egypt.
A while back, I went shopping for presents for my friends, and
I was about an hour late, like in Brazil.
- You were being polite. - Yeah.
Anyway, I got there, and Samy wasn't there.
I waited for 30 minutes, and he didn't show up. He kept telling me he's coming.
He was with a friend.
- A girl, right? - Yes. It was a girl.
Listen to me--
No more conservative image for you.
But that day, Carlos said he'd be an hour late, so...
I was bored, so I called my friend.
Like "What are you doing" x 100.
"Where are you" x 100.
Hey, here look. It's from Samy.
Oh, I hate that Sphinx guy.
He texted you, too?
I saved him as "The Pyramid Guy."
Do you have a member who has a different concept of time?
- Yes, we have a member named CNU. - CNU.
He's always so laid back...
Let's say we only have 10 minutes to eat before we have to leave.
He's the type who starts eating when we only
have 5 minutes left, when we're all done eating.
And since he eats so slowly--
We can leave if we finished eating first, right?
But he doesn't like it when we leave first.
He'd say, "Why won't you wait for me to finish eating?"
Shall we get him on the phone now?
(Scared)
We'll call him next week.
I was scared.
(How innocent)
- He's very relaxed. - He is.
(That's my style)
Alright.
According to the National Statistical Office's study in Korea,
the average time of sleep is 7 hours and 59 minutes.
It was the lowest among the OECD countries.
Meanwhile, the time of labor in 1 year was 2057 hours.
It was the third longest after Mexico and Chile.
What do you guys think?
- I don't think I could do it. - Do what?
- A Korean company? - I could never do it.
I don't think they'd want you either.
(Is that right...?)
It's not just about companies.
- I sleep about 4 to 5 hours. - Really?
How? He doesn't even have dark circles.
I plan out my day.
What you do Sandal...
Sandal?
No, that's how it's read in other countries.
(Finally got it)
It's Sandeul. Sandeul.
Sandals for bare feet and sandals for socks?
It's not easy to do in Korea, but if you go near the Mediterranean sea,
they have siesta time.
It's amazing.
I want to introduce siesta to the whole world.
He's just saying that he wants to take naps.
But I thought you follow siesta time on your own.
You want to sleep more?
Do you have a conscience by any chance?
- Siesta man. - I want to recommend it to people.
If it existed officially, I think everyone would follow the siesta time.
For me, I sleep if I have a lot of time to sleep.
If I don't, then I won't sleep.
- It varies. - Yes, it changes from day to day.
So I don't plan out my day like Sandeul.
- You guys are very different. - Yes.
For me, I have to watch soccer late at night.
Even if it affects my work the next day...
I have to watch it before I sleep even if it means forcing myself to stay awake.
He goes at things head on.
If he likes someone, regardless of whether it affects his career...
- You're right. - I'm a little...
Are you sure you weren't working on a girl, not a song?
No.
You worked on it all night?
I can't rest until I do it.
Okay.
I think experience is very important.
- Alright. - Got it.
In your countries,
are there things that people spend more or less time on compared to other countries?
I think we have the longest meal time out of the countries here.
How many hours is it?
Most shops open at 9 and stay open until 12.
And they take a break for 3 hours.
- What? - For 3 hours?
The normal shops do.
And many open from 3 to 7 or 8.
It's because we think eating slowly is important.
And we think it's important to eat at home with your family.
On the weekends, people eat until 5 or 6.
- When's dinner? - You have to eat right after lunch?
For dinner, we eat around ten or 11 in the summer.
Or sometimes we don't eat it at all.
The foreigners have a hard time because of this culture.
When I went to Italy with my wife for the first time,
we ate from 1 to 6:30.
My wife said she almost died.
It's hard.
We enjoy it a lot.
What I want to know is, did you guys talk non-stop?
We keep talking if we're with family or close friends.
His country enjoys talking.
Meal times are important for Italy.
What we take the longest to do is taking a shower.
- Shower? - Really?
- Shower time. - Because it's hot?
Yes, a recent survey found that
Brazil takes the most showers out of the world.
Really?
People take an average of 12 showers per week.
- They must be clean. - That's the average.
Columbia came in second place, but they only take 7 showers.
Carlos, how many showers do you take per week?
At least two.
Per week?!
No.
(We got you)
Carlos, it's okay.
In Brazil, people take a shower for an average of 20 minutes.
- That's long. - A lot of people take longer than that.
20 minutes... 20 minutes?
- Yes. - 20 minutes.
20 minutes sound okay.
I take 2 minutes.
- It's a long time. - I take 3 minutes.
Because people take such long showers,
many problems have formed.
It's a waste of time and a big waste of water.
Early last year,
there was a longest and most severe drought in São Paulo.
Because of that, the country made a lot of campaigns to take showers in 5 minutes.
5 minute showers.
An app was created to guide the shower.
You press start, and it'd say, "Shampoo your hair now."
"Wash your armpits."
"Come out now."
You guys could relate to it. You said most people take 20 minutes.
Do you take 20 minutes?
I don't like the slippery feeling left on my body.
So I rinse my body until it's not slippery.
What about shaving?
I take a long time to shave too.
I keep looking at it.
I have this much hair, but I shave it all off in 20 seconds.
- You don't bleed? - Sometimes I do.
That's why he's an idol and you're a...
An old man.
But we have a lot of hair here, so we have to shave this part too.
I've shaved it before.
I shave it too.
So it takes a long time.
Buy a big razor.
Like the one you use to wipe the windows.
(Sung-lock's amazing solution!)
In Korea, there's a saying, "the early bird gets the food."
Being a morning person became a trend once.
These days, some say that the night owls who spend
more time at night spend their time more wisely.
- Yeah, the label, "morning person..." - It was a big trend.
What is the successful way to spend time?
Does a morning person spend their time more efficiently,
or does a night owl spend their time more efficiently?
Let's discuss that.
I'm curious.
Those who think it's the night owl... One, two three!
Those night owls.
Przemysław, Nikolai, Guillaume, and Baro...
There aren't that many night owls here.
I started waking up early in the morning recently too.
- Okay. - For sure, waking up earlier...
- The day is longer. - Yes, the day is longer.
I feel good and I think it makes me work better.
Morning people say that the days are longer.
Right.
I woke up early for 2 and a half years for a morning radio.
The days are longer.
But I'm sleepy through it.
Bingo.
I kept yawning.
It's so long.
If you wake up in the afternoon, you can only see sunlight for 4 hours a day.
But if you wake up in the morning, you can see sunlight the whole day.
So it makes you feel happy.
That's why morning people are always optimists.
If you see too much sunlight, you get wrinkles.
- A night owl. - You'll age.
Because I avoided sunlight for 15 years, I look young.
Carlos and Andreas look older than they are.
Because they woke up at 7 AM?!
I got chills!
Oh yeah, you're a teacher!
(You should switch over)
But a study found that
people who work later and go to sleep later have higher IQs.
- That's what they found. - Those who sleep later?
Since I work at a lab, there are a lot of other students around.
It's really hard to focus.
But there are only me and other researchers at night,
so we work hard to stay focused.
So you're the only one with a higher IQ?
But it suits me.
It's only a correlation, not a causation.
You can't say that they have a higher IQ because they are night owls.
A BBC's study found that
people who wake up early and go to sleep early are much more stressed.
I can relate.
When they go to sleep,
they think about what time they have to wake up tomorrow.
- That's stressful. - They kept getting stressed.
I can't agree with what you just said because...
people who wake up early and people who wake up late have different jobs.
- It varies based on jobs. - They could be stressed about their jobs.
A lot of people who wake up early work at companies.
Right.
Many people who work at night work in the arts.
I have a friend who has lived as a night owl for a long time.
But he's very healthy and has clear skin.
- He's very... - But you don't know what's going on inside.
You don't know how his intestines are doing.
(Totally agrees)
Has he had a check up?
His insides might be pitch black.
- He can take meds for that. - I'm just worried.
- If he woke up early, he could be... - You sound like a grandpa.
He wakes up and works during the night and goes to sleep in the morning.
He has a pattern.
What does he do?
He makes music too.
There are people who don't have a choice.
When we prepare for a comeback, I have no choice but to become a night owl.
What I realized living as a night owl was that...
I felt like my body was being damaged.
Korea University Hospital did a survey and found that
more night owls were obese and had hyperlipidemia.
- Night owls? - Yes.
Isn't it because of drinking?
The alcohol and food are the problem.
People end up having late night food because they're active during the night.
And the late night food harms their health.
Then they can just not eat it.
Like how you have to eat lunch during the day,
you have to eat during the night if you're awake.
Then they can eat the same food that morning people eat.
Bingo.
Night owls eat and think about going to the gym.
But the gym is closed.
There are 24 hour gyms!
(The foreigners know more than you)
My gym closes at 12!
(Aww, I'm sorry)
Sandeul! Sandeul!
This is Seoul. They have 24 hour gyms.
They're only in Gangnam.
Restaurants with jokbal and chicken are open 24 hours.
But most Korean restaurants close at 9,
so people can't eat healthy food like they could during the day.
They shouldn't eat out anyway. They need to cook.
So you can't think about that.
In English, this is called...
It means correlation doesn't mean causation.
(He already said that)
And it's related to the sun rising and setting.
It started because of an agricultural society.
But we're not an agricultural society anymore.
We're in the process of reforming that system.
The night owls are having a hard time because they have
to live according to the frame set by morning people.
Because that's the system of today's society.
But genetically... is it called melatonin?
The time when melatonin is produced is different for each person.
So I don't think it's right to criticize the night owl's style of life.
It's different for each person.
What he said is right. There was an answer in what he said.
You said today's society works during the day and rests at night, right?
- Yes. - That's how today's society is.
If I don't follow it, then I'll have a hard time by myself.
So I think it's healthier to follow it.
We can say that it's a style that suits today's society more.
We could say that, but that misses the point.
You can't beat him.
You must be very disappointed.
"We could say that, but that misses the point."
These days, Silicon Valley or popular IT companies have very flexible working hours.
They just need to work this many hours.
That just means that those kinds of jobs exist.
It means that the society is changing.
It's an exception.
Although I personally think that the morning people are more efficient,
I think having a regular pattern of life is more important.
A classic example is Immanuel Kant, the German icon of philosophy.
He woke up at 5 every morning,
lectured from 7 to 11, and ate lunch at 12 and took a walk.
People could tell what time it was by seeing when he took the walk.
- That's how accurate he was. - It's Kant time.
And he slept right at 10.
Right at 10.
- Everyday? - Yes, everyday.
And he slept in the same position everyday.
That's a good thing?
Doesn't he have a problem?
Guillaume doesn't like Kant.
He's the total opposite.
He lived until he was 80.
Given the time, he lived a very long life.
- He could've lived until 90. - That's right.
The age of longevity could've started at that time!
If he had shifted his sleeping position a bit...
It's bad for blood circulation.
If he had stretched out a little...
I heard it didn't matter at all whether you're a morning or night person.
People say that how you spend the time is more important.
For example, there was a method that became popular.
We write "To do list."
- Right. - Things we have to do.
But a "Don't do list" is becoming a trend today.
- Things we shouldn't do. - Things we shouldn't do.
If you pick the right things and only do the things you should do,
you can be much more focused, and it leaves a good outcome.
And 80% of the outcome come from 20% of the time.
It's called the Pareto principle.
It's really true.
You have to use the time efficiently to have a good outcome.
You talked about the "Don't do list,"
I'm sure it's different for each person, but one thing we should add
is a smartphone.
People use it way too much these days.
I also just stay on it out of habit.
I don't do anything else.
It must be exciting to see the "Don't do list."
The one who started "Don't do list" is an author.
He wasn't doing so well as an author.
There were too many temptations. He'd get calls and texts while he's trying to work.
So he started waking up at 3 AM to work.
- To avoid calls? - His book became a hit.
He started the "Don't do list"
and companies started using it.
And they found that the outcome was good.
It's something to think about.
- We heard a lot of good things today. - Yes.
We'll take the last vote.

Our youngest member, Linchen.
How was it today?
It was very nice.
I got to meet different people.
And I got to hear a lot of good things.
I learned a lot of new things.
I think your good energy and heart was conveyed well.
Thank you for introducing us to Bhutan.
- We learned a lot. - Thank you.
(Thank you Linchen, the guy who's always happy)
Baro and Sandeul, how was it today?
I had a lot of interest in world news and hot issues.
Listening to different countries' opinions about this topic
was a new experience, and it made me want to come often.
We welcome you with open arms.
It was so fascinating in the beginning.
The guys were so...
It felt like watching TV.
I'm a celebrity too, but it was so cool because
it felt like I was meeting celebrities.
So I couldn't focus at first.
You couldn't hide your emotions.
I think I learned a lot from listening to all of them.
Today made me think that switching my life up a bit might be needed too.
He's so eloquent.
(Thank you Baro and Sandeul for your bright energy)
We'll wrap up Non Summit Meeting without borders.
Until the day we all become normal-
You're normal, but seem abnormal, but actually normal.
Good job.
I'm looking forward to today.
We prepared a Chinese special.
Please welcome Jo E-kyung, Ma Guk-jin, and Jang Moon-kyun.
(The era of G2 has officially opened!)
(China goes beyond Asia to shake up the whole world)
He said he's here to steal his spot.
Zhang Yuan is popular in Korea.
But he's not that well known in China.
(My goodness Yuan)
He says reciting poems is his talent.
Try it.
He's putting him in check.
Yuan is putting him in check.
(Competition between the one who is trying to protect and one who's trying to steal)
How did you stay here for this long?
(Look forward to the Chinese special!)
It's Dr. Song Gil-young.
Am I abnormal for thinking that I can learn people's desires through the big data?
I heard you analyzed the big data about the 3 of us.
It can be your character or how the public views you.
Comedy, face, and DUI.
Most popular guy today with spectacular presence.
He's even sexy.
It meant that only his brains are sexy.
