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 Non-summit Meeting to ensure
global peace and security for youth around the world.
The meeting is in session.
I'm the Chairman of Non Summit Meeting, Jun Hyun-moo.
- I'm Secretary General Yoo Se-yoon. - I'm Chairman Sung Si-kyung.
We are Junyoosung!
(Welcome each representatives!)
I have something to tell you. In a few days,
it will be the 2nd anniversary of the Sewol
Ferry incident that had the nation in tears.
A photo gallery and memorial ceremonies to remember
the tragedy and the victims' pain are being held for the second anniversary.
We should never forget the painful lesson taught by the loss of the precious lives.
I think it's most important that we don't forget.
(We won't forget...)
(Chairman Jun Hyun-moo, Secretary-General, Yoo Se-yoon, Chairman Sung Si-kyung)
(Welcome to Non-summit Meeting)
It's been two months already since the new semester started.
The midterms will be starting soon,
so you see a lot of students studying at the library or at the cafes.
The guys here work hard at speaking Korean, and they're all smart.
Please tell us some tips on studying for exams.
- Daniel, what should we do? - I read this in an article.
People usually study sitting down.
But it said that it's better to study while moving around.
So I think it's good to memorize while dancing at home.
Personally, I danced and...
You have a good image. Please don't do that.
What was that?
For example, there's that number song. One, two, three, four...
Are you happy about something?
(What is that?)
- It's like memorizing stuff by singing it. - You have to make a lot of songs.
- Carlos? - For example,
when you're studying math...
You know the formula for the area of a cone?
You memorize it by putting the lyrics into a really popular song.
Carlos, you made it?
I didn't make it, but it was popular in Brazil.
For example?
You know the song, "Telephone" by Lady Gaga?
It goes like this.
That song?
(The horrible dancer is excited)
What are you supposed to memorize when everything is "eh" except πr2?
(Area of a cone, area of a cone)
(I'll teach you)
(It's πr2 plus πrg)
(Usual way for Brazilian students to study)
It's a modification.
But if you use the song's rhythm...
It's stupid to just memorize everything,
but I think singing it is the best way.
I still have third and fourth German prepositions memorized.
- How? - Because of a song.
Did you make it yourself?
I made it.
I still remember it.
But I don't know where I can use that.
But I keep remembering it.
(A Singer is Born! 100 points)
I think I'll remember it until the day I die.
For real. I don't know the meaning though.
Tyler, are there any helpful hints?
If you just use your time efficiently...
Nevermind.
(A textbook answer)
All right, anyway.
I hope you prepare for it efficiently and well.
I hope all the students get good results.
"Non-summit Meeting" will officially start.
Let's find out about people's pride in their countries, and
dispel stereotypes in, "What Country? Neighboring Country!"
Today's guest G is from a country that's called the Asia of Europe.
From the gem of Eastern Europe,
here's Sobi from Hungary!
(93rd episode's guest G, Sárközi Szabolcs)
(Sárközi Szabolcs, 35, Business owner from Hungary)
(The Asia of Europe)
(The gem of Eastern Europe, Hungary)
Hello, my name is Sárközi Szabolcs.
I am 36 years old and I'm from Hungary
I graduated college in Hungary with a major in Korean.
I came to Korea to go to graduate school.
Is there anyone who can understand that?
Please introduce yourself in Korean.
All right. Hello.
My name is Sárközi Szabolcs. I'm 36 years old and I'm from Hungary.
But currently, I'm doing something that's very different from my major.
I run a cocktail bar in Daegu with my wife.
A cocktail bar? In Daegu?
Hungary equals alcohol.
Yes, Hungarians really like to drink.
Is your wife from Daegu?
Yes.
What was your original goal for coming to Korea?
It was the same for me and for my wife.
Our dream was to run a bar or a restaurant.
(The couple achieved the same dream together)
- In a sense, you have achieved your dream. - Yes.
- Where is it in Daegu? - Gye University.
You mean Gyemyung University.
(Spoken like a true Daegu native)
You don't use Daegu language? The Daegu dialect?
To be honest, I can't really tell the difference.
Some people...
(You're using a dialect)
That's what Daegu dialect sounds like.
I learned Korean in Daegu first.
So I can use a little bit of the dialect.
But I can't really tell the difference.
It sounds endearing. It's nice.
It sounds weird if you force yourself to speak the Seoul dialect.
There's someone here who forces himself to speak in a dialect.
(He's right here)
What are you saying?
- It's not natural. - What should I be saying?
What?
(What was that?)
(Embarrassed)
"Gloomy Sunday" is probably the most famous movie
that Koreans think about when they think of Hungary.
It has a little bit of a sad vibe.
How do Europeans view Hungary?
I've been there.
When I studied the Hungarian history,
I thought it was a gloomy country because there were a lot of sad events.
But I've only been to Budapest.
And it's not like that at all.
It's actually a warm and bright place.
And people party like crazy.
I'm so curious. What does it mean to party like crazy?
- What I felt was... - You can't say it on air?
The people...
He runs a cocktail bar, right?
There are so many cocktail bars in Budapest.
The night life is so fun.
It was very different from the rest of Eastern and Northern Europe.
So that night was no joke?
Yes, I have some good memories...
Please introduce to us what kind of country it is
since we don't know much about Hungary.
As you all know, Hungary is a small country located in Central Eastern Europe.
The size is similar to Korea,
but the population is about five times smaller.
The capital is a city called Budapest.
Similar to Seoul, there is a river in the middle of Budapest called Duna River.
Duna River.
It's similar.
It's very similar.
It seems like we'll find the 63 building somewhere there.
But as you can see, there aren't any tall buildings.
That's true.
The tallest building has about 10 floors.
There aren't more than 10 floors.
This looks about 20 floors.
(Ahem...)
With the river as the divider,
the city was divided into two cities called Buda and Pest a long time ago.
Near the end of 19th century,
they joined as one city called Budapest.
- Oh they were different cities' names. - Yes.
When you go there, there's that bridge.
Is it Seniche Bridge?
Szecheny Bridge.
It's called Szecheny Lanchid.
It's the oldest bridge in Budapest.
(Wow)
You can walk on it or ride a bicycle.
And the image is totally different in the day versus the night.
It's very different,
and from what I remember, I think that's the National Assembly building.
- This one? - Yes, that's right.
The building is called Országház Parliament in Hungarian.
It's viewed as one of the most beautiful buildings in Europe.
Do the politicians use it?
Yes.
The government currently works there.
Wow, it's really beautiful.
There's the Buda castle in the Buda side of the city where the King used to live.
It's currently the most famous tourist spot.
A king used to live there?
Yes. The King lived there a long time ago.
Currently, it's used as a museum and a library.
And when you get up there, you can see the entire city.
You'll see a great night view.
I introduced Hungary as the Asia of Europe.
Is there a reason why it's called that?
Hungary geographically belongs to Europe,
but you can find many cultural similarities with Asia.
- Culturally? - Yes.
If you look at the language,
most of the European countries write the date
by writing the date, month, and the year.
- Right. - But in Hungary,
people write the year, month, and the date like Korea.
That's interesting.
It's the same with names. You write the last name first in Korea.
- Right. - It's the opposite in Europe.
But Hungary is the same as Korea.
We write last names first.
Oh, and even the Hungarian traditional music uses a pentatonic scale.
- We use a pentatonic scale as well. - That's right, for our traditional music.
When you listen to Hungarian traditional music,
you can get a little bit of the Korean traditional music feel from it.
- Really? - That's interesting.
I want to listen to it.
(Hungarian folk song)
(Has an Asian feel)
Guillaume?
I heard people from other countries go to Hungary for their food because it's so good.
They're meat dishes.
Beef?
Lamb?
It's a dish that can be considered the representative dish of Hungary.
What is it? Are you going to show us?
(Heart flutter)
It's a little similar to Korean stews.
Stews?
Gulyás means "herdsmen" in Hungarian.
The reason they named this food that is because
these people would go on long journeys and usually eat only this dish.
- Poland also... - I make this dish often.
You make it?
I make two kinds, Lecho and Bográcgulyás
- You know it as a Hungarian dish? - We have them in our country too,
but we admit that the original is from Hungary.
We eat it very often.
You can eat in any of the neighboring countries.
It looks like there's something like pasta noodles in it.
It's similar to soojebi.
Is this beef or lamb?
It's traditionally made with beef,
but of course, you can make it with pork or lamb.
And the most important ingredient is the Hungarian pepper.
It's the Hungarian paprika powder.
The dish is red because of that.
And you use it to make it spicy.
You cook it over low heat for a long time.
- Usually for about 3 or 4 hours. - Stews are made fast.
It takes about 3 to 4 hours.
I think it will be popular at ski resorts.
- At ski resorts? - Yes.
It's warm, gives you energy, and has a lot of meat.
Is there another representative food besides this one?
I'll introduce three of them to you.
- I'm going to get hungry. - The first one is...
The one on top.
(The panel fairy is frozen)
The food on the very top is called Halászlé.
It's very similar to the spicy fish stew in Korea.
You usually cook it here and,
as you can see, you add a lot of red pepper in here too to make it spicy.
- Like maeuntang. - Yes.
And you usually eat it during Christmas.
It's like a fish soup, maeuntang.
The second one is called Paprikás Csirke.
It may be similar to Korean spicy chicken stew.
You put in a lot of red pepper again with the chicken
and you eat it with sour cream on top.
- This is spicy too, right? - Yes, it's spicy.
It's spicy... What about this one?
The last picture is...
That's for dessert.
Yes, it's a snack.
- It's seaweed wrap. - It's a snack...
that people eat the most in Hungary.
It's called Palacsinta.
On top of a flour pancake,
you add things like chocolate, banana, Nutella, or cinnamon to your liking.
- Bananas... - Cinnamon goes well with it too.
- Whipped cream. - Cinnamon sugar.
My country, Austria...
My father is from Austria.
They call it Palacsinken.
The word is from Hungary.
I think Austrians eat some of Hungarian food.
It's also found in Romania. They call it Clatite.
It looks good.
You can eat it if you come to my store.
All three of them?
No, just the last one.
- If you go to his store. - I was going to go for this one.
I wanted the other one.
- Gulyás. - I was going to go if you had Gulyás.
I'd go for Gulyás.
Our store doesn't have Gulyás but I could make it for you visit.
(They're all about to head to Daegu for some Gulyás)
(I'll be sure to visit)
I heard Hungary has the world's best pork.
But what's funny is,
the pig looks so much like a sheep that it could pass for one.
A sheep pig.
A pig that looks like a sheep?
- Yes. - A pig that looks like a sheep.
(Is that a sheep or a pig?)
Is that fur?
It has fur?
Is that a sheep or a pig?
That one is a pig disguised as a sheep.
The sheep are supposed to mate with each other.
But they realized that pigs are pretty.
Are they crossbreeding?
This pig is called Mangalica pig.
Hungary imported Serbian pigs in Europe.
Through natural mixing, these pigs were born.
They have different colored fur.
The white one is the most...
- The white one is the most delicious? - Yes.
That's a little harsh.
- Is it good? - Yes.
There's little fat and a lot of meat so...
Like lamb meat.
Don't you think it will also be spicy?
It looks like it already has spicy seasoning on it.
It looks similar to lamb skewer sauce.
It looks like it already has the sauce on it.
How do Hungarians usually eat pork?
There are a variety of ways.
It's used as ingredient to make salami.
Or we cook it like how Koreans eat pork belly.
Don't other countries usually not eat pork belly?
Hungarians eat it a lot.
They're like us.
You don't also eat it with garlic, right?
We do.
- Really? - Yeah. Hungarians eat a lot of garlic.
Because the food has garlic and peppers,
Koreans may like it a lot.
You're right.
I heard there's a dog in Hungary that you can't distinguish its head from its tail.
What kind of dog is it?
They also have pigs that look like sheep.
On top of the sheep pig...
We must have a lot of interesting animals.
- Which end is the head? - I can't imagine.
Only if his mouth wasn't open...
If he wasn't smiling, we wouldn't have known.
We would’ve thought that was the head.
What is that? Dreadlocks?
- Bob Marley. - It's a Jamaican dog.
That's a Hungarian traditional dog called Puli.
- Puli. - It's a herding dog.
It's IQ came in 14th place in the world. It's a very smart dog.
- In IQ ranking? - Yes.
Interestingly, this kind of hair doesn't form naturally.
As its curly hair grows...
It takes about 4 years after birth to see that kind of hair.
As the hair grows, the owner has to twist the fur.
What does it look like if you don't twist it?
- If you don't? - Yeah.
If you don't, it looks too disheveled.
(Hurt...)
The dog might get its feelings hurt.
(Taming the hair is a must)
When my wife saw this dog for the first time,
she was very surprised. She said to me,
"What is that moving mop?"
(Disheveled mop... hurt...)
It's like that car that cleans the streets in the morning.
(Wiping)
Cute.
It's cute.
He said eating that sheep pig's pork belly would be good.
You need to have some of this with it.
I heard you can't toast when you drink in Hungary.
- You can't toast? - You don't toast?
We do toast, but we used to not toast with beer.
But now we toast with beer too.
It's because in 1848, there was a revolution.
Austrian soldiers killed 13 of Hungarian generals.
But when they did, they gave a toast with beer to celebrate it.
After seeing that, Hungarians promised themselves that
they would not give a toast with beer for the next 150 years.
Even though 150 years have passed,
the conservative people still don't give a toast with beer.
They don't care about doing it with other alcohol.
Did they not use the word "cheers?"
Or did they raise their beer glasses and...
You can't cling the glasses together.
- So you can say "cheers." - Yeah, you can do this.
- How do you say "cheers" in Hungarian? - Egészség.
Egészség. (Sounds like "baby" in Korean)
Egészség, you're so pretty.
(Tries to be funny)
The drinking culture is different from that in Korea.
Of course, you can drink a little wine during meals.
But when you go drink at a bar after dinner,
you don't eat any snacks at all.
Most people actually drink shots of the Hungarian traditional alcohol, Pálinka,
and drink beer to chase it.
Really?
They drink beer to chase it?
They don't ever eat food.
I met up with my American friend for drinks, but he wouldn't drink during dinner.
We finished dinner and went to a bar,
and he just kept having drinks without any snacks.
- That's right. - I wondered what was wrong with him.
I was so shocked.
Did you beat him?
Yes.
(The big drinker makes sure Korea always wins)
So after that, I told him, "Since I drank to your style this time,
let's drink to Korean style next time."
We had pork belly and soju together, but he couldn't stand it.
- It was hard for him. - Yeah, he threw everything up.
The fact that you can drink to both styles...
(The strongest alcohol fighter)
My health has worsened recently.
You should stop drinking.
I always ask about lakes whenever a new guest comes,
so I feel bad about asking again.
Is it about a lake again?
I heard Hungary has the world's biggest lake.
- In the world? - In Europe, not in the world.
It's the biggest lake in Europe.
It's called Lake Balaton.
That's a lake?
- Yes. - It's endless.
This lake is about 80km long,
12 km wide, and the circumference is about 200 km.
People even call it Hungary's sea.
Yes.
And it's a popular tourist spot for travelers, not just Hungarians.
Especially in the summer, people can enjoy water sports.
There's a music festival held every year in a city to the south of Balaton.
It's a very famous music festival called, Balaton Sound.
Is it preserved well and clean?
The water? Yes.
There's no ocean near Hungary?
Today, there's no ocean near Hungary.
But if you look at the history, it had 2 oceans near it until WWI.
After the war,
Hungary's land was taken by the neighboring countries.
It lost about 60% of its land.
- So only the inland area was left. - Yes.
That's unfortunate.
I personally think it's very unfortunate that Hungary lost its beaches.
I think it will be cool to see this.
I heard Hungary has the world's oldest subway system after London.
- Can you tell us about that? - Sure.
You're right.
It's called Kisföldalatti in Hungarian.
It looks like something you'd see in a museum.
It's the world's second oldest subway car that opened in 1896.
It looks like it could be used today.
You can ride it just the way it is.
But this one is in a museum.
It's a car that used to be used during that time.
How cool.
You can take the oldest track, line 1, and go to the most famous tourist spot.
It's the Hero Square, which is called Hősök tere in Hungarian.
- The Hungarian heroes... - Yes.
Statues of the most important figures in Hungarian history are all gathered there.
Starting from the left, there are statues of Hungarian Kings in order.
If you look in the middle, those are generals who fought for Hungary.
- They're all gathered like the Avengers. - Yes, that's right.
If it were Korea, it would be like having
people like General Lee Soon-shin all together.
It must look cool, right?
Heroes... That's cool.
We talked about the movie, "Gloomy Sunday," earlier.
Its soundtrack is very famous.
But I heard that in just 8 weeks since the music was released,
190 people committed suicide,
and the songwriter committed suicide too.
So Hungary banned the song.
Did that really happen?
Yes, not just in Hungary, but the UK broadcasting station, BBC,
also banned it until 2002.
That part is true,
but I looked into the rest of the story,
and you can't find the relation between the song and the suicides anywhere.
- There's no relation between them. - Yes.
After the war,
the social atmosphere
and the bad economy were the reasons that made many people commit suicide.
Because the song was banned,
people might have made a stretch and said the song was the cause.
Yes, I think the rumors started after the song was banned.
I see.
You said Hungary has 1/5 of Korea's population.
I also heard there were a lot of famous Nobel Prize winners from Hungary.
I heard there were more than 10.
I wanted to ask if there is a secret or reason to Hungarians winning the Nobel Prize.
Hungary had 14 Nobel Prize winners.
The one I guess you can call the most famous out of them is
Albert Szent-Györgyi.
He's the one who discovered Vitamin C.
I take it every day.
Even though we didn't receive Nobel Prizes for
them, we also created world famous inventions.
What are they?
The one that everyone uses everyday, ball point pens.
- Ball point pens? - Ball point pens were invented in Hungary.
- Ball point pens? - Yes.
They invented the technology of inserting the ball to have the ink flow out?
Yes, a Hungarian invented it.
And I'm very sorry but
nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs were also invented by a Hungarian.
And for example, the Rubik's Cube is famous world wide.
Oh that one?
Ernő Rubik invented it.
I've never finished it in my life.
Why did he make that?
There are competitions you can see on TV sometimes.
The person who gets first place finishes it in seconds.
(2015 Rubik's Cube World Championship)
(Finished it in 5.69 seconds!)
- Tyler, aren't you good at it? - No I can't do it.
Nice.
That's nice.
In the beginning, I really wanted to try it,
but my friend next to me said there's a formula to doing it.
It works if you keep twisting it this way and then this way...
Anyone can finish it in 2 minutes, but people have lost to AI already.
It's 3 times faster than humans.
(Robot sub1 that completes Rubik's Cubes)
(The time expended is...)
(only 0.887 seconds)
You know the guest, Hwang Chi-yeol, who came last time?
- Yes. - He can complete it in 10 seconds.
- Really? - I saw it.
- Hwang Chi-yeol? - Yes, 10 seconds.
Are you lying because you're his manager?
No, for real. It was on TV in China.
He can finish it in 10 seconds no matter how it is?
9 of them?
How's that possible?
(Let's check)
(Struggling)
(Passionate Manager Zhang)
(Took much longer than 10 seconds...)
(To finish it)
(Lied about 10 seconds)
No, it wasn't 10 seconds...
About 20-30 seconds?
(The manager got ahead of himself)
This is how all managers feel.
You're right.
I heard Hungary was very good at sports.
I heard it once beat China in the Olympics and won more medals than China.
I wanted to ask which sport is most popular right now.
Until 1992, Hungary was always ranked higher than China.
- Oh, was it? - Yes.
China participated in the Olympics for the first time in 1984.
84, 88, and then 92.
They've only been in it 3 times at that time, so that's why...
Got it.
Hungary is usually good at water sports.
Swim, kayak, canoe, water polo...
Our men's water polo team is ranked number 1 in the world right now.
Then do average people enjoy playing sports too?
Koreans usually do Taekwondo.
But in Hungary, children usually take swimming lessons.
But you don't have a beach, so how...
They have a lake.
You just need a swimming pool to swim.
You play water polo in the pool too.
- That's true. - Do Hungarians like water polo the best?
Water polo and swimming.
They're so good.
It seems like Alberto really likes Hungary.
Water polo is very...
Water polo! Water polo!
I know you like something other than water polo.
"What Country? Neighboring Country!" with our Hungarian representative was fun!
Today's guest is another athlete like Seo Jang-hoon from last time.
He has launched the second career of his life as a commentator.
He used to be a World Cup star as an aggressive forward.
Currently, he's a rookie entertainer with with aggressive talks and looks.
It's Lee Chun-soo!
(93rd Korean representative, Lee Chun-soo)
(Handsome)
(Lee Chun-soo, 36, Soccer Commentator in Korea)
(How cool)
You have something pinned.
I work as a commentator for JTBC right now.
I came here as Korea's representative.
Nice to meet you.
(Welcome)
He was Korea's first athlete to play in the European League.
- Spain. - In the Spanish league.
Does anyone know him?
You probably don't know, but he's famous in the Middle East.
Because...
You played on the Saudi Arabian league, right?
Yes, I did.
The guy you played with is the captain of Egypt's national team right now,
Hossam Ghaly.
Yes, you played with him, so you're popular
with Saudi Arabian and Egyptian soccer fans.
A lot of people know you.
- Alberto, don't you know him? - He's also famous in Italy,
as the guy who kicked Maldini.
(Oh yeah...)
What was going on at that time?
We were playing in the round of 16 against Italy.
The Italian athletes were very aggressive at the time.
And they looked down on Korea.
- They felt superior. - They did.
My senior was elbowed during the game.
(Kim Tae-young was injured)
It was a little like that.
I was also the youngest.
Maldini was the oldest player at that time.
He was as old as player Hong Myung-Bo in Korea.
I boldly just...
It was a little intended.
There was a lot of talk of whether there was a ball or not.
But to be honest, there was no ball.
(The ball was already on the ground)
It was a little intended.
And he's very famous for being ugly.
(Help me out. I'm a commentator)
During the 2006 Brazil World Cup, people voted on the ugliest athlete.
(I don't have to say anything, right?)
That's a very good point-- question.
- I should answer him, right? - Please do.
Which place were you in?
First place was Ronaldinho.
I was in second place, and third place was Tevez.
(He beat Tevez...)
He's much better looking than Tevez.
That's why he took second place. Wait...
That's what people get confused about.
They get confused once they see me in real life.
- You were confused just now. - I was.
It's embarrassing to say it myself, but it's because I was famous.
- It's because you were famous. - It's because I was famous.
It was meaningful and fun...
Thank you for accepting it calmly.
All right, anyway...
There's explanations that only athletes can give.
I look forward to your great commentating.
- Thank you. - I think he'll be the best commentator.
But I wonder if you still have your athletic skills.
The body will remember.
Well, why don't we have a match between Alberto and Lee Chun-soo?
What kind of match?
We prepared something. It's hitting the water bottle with the ball.
We're testing the accuracy of their shoots.
Alright, you two.
(Please step forward)
(This is fun)
Can you show us a little bit of ball trapping?
But I injured my leg a little bit.
Every time I go on shows, I have to do thigh wrestling,
so I pulled my muscle a little bit on another show.
Let's see the match first.
You look a little pathetic right now.
(Tells them about his injury even before the match begins)
I don't think I'd be able to hit them even if you just had these two on there.
You can't hit them?
We were going to start with this one.
(Pretends like he didn't hear)
- Should we start right away? - Please be careful.
(Italy's representative, Alberto goes first)
(Talkative Ghana commentator)
(To pay back for what happened to Maldini 14 years ago)
(He kicked it!)
(The ball missed)
(Holding in his smile)
(Dang it)
Korea's national athlete, Lee Chun-soo.
I have to tell you. I'm wearing dress shoes.
(You talk too much!)
It doesn't matter!
You look very pathetic. We got it.
It doesn't matter for pro athletes.
Aren't you going to kick with the inside of your shoe?
Yes. But I'm just saying that part hurts.
The Korean player is ready now.
It will look cool if he hits it.
(Will he succeed?)
(Should I kick or not?)
(About to explode)
Don't you know how I do free kicks?
- We do. - You know.
(Warning for prolonging the game)
(Is he even going to kick before today is over?)
The referee usually don't like it.
(Finally shoots)
(Bullseye)
(Lee Chun-soo is the best)
(I admit)
(Proved his skills as a national athlete)
(A victory ceremony next to the chairman)
(Sir, you shouldn't do that here)
That was so cool.
Thank goodness. I was praying that you'd hit it.
I almost died.
We were going to do it 10 times if you couldn't hit it.
We'll get dive into the 93th Non-summit meeting now.
Chun-soo, please announce today's agenda for us.
Okay.
I'm a fifth-year salesman who is working hard than anyone else.
I work hard at my job and get along with other people.
I'm getting the recognition at work, but I have a problem that no one knows about.
It's because of my colleague who was hired at the
same time as me and who always does better than me.
He was in my group during the hiring interview
and took all of the interviewers' attention with his eloquent way of speaking.
Still to this day, he performs better at work
and always gets first place in popularity votes at the office.
Now, I'm even starting to hate him.
When I talked to my best friend about it,
he told me, "You're getting recognized for your work too."
"Why are you making yourself feel inferior?"
He actually scolded me.
Am I abnormal for getting stressed out by comparing myself to the best?
You're abnormal.
(Finally done)
(Congratulations for finishing the agenda!)
I thought you were AlphaGo or something.
(Chilling way of conveying a message)
I tried to imitate it because it's very popular these days.
(So funny)
Can you relate to the agenda?
When I started playing sports, I felt like the second best a lot of the times.
And I was jealous of the other guy and tried to beat him...
Was there a target?
His name is Choi Tae-wook.
He's good.
I met him in high school.
He ranked in first place since he was in elementary school.
- He was really good. - He was.
I had to beat him, but I couldn't.
It honestly drove me crazy.
It was also annoying.
So I started acting.
When I was playing with him, I'd act like I was very bad.
I did that in front of him, and then I practiced when he was sleeping.
I worked hard for 2 years to catch up to him.
So when we became high school seniors,
we were...
On a similar level.
People viewed us as Messi and Ronaldo at that time.
Someone said...
All right...
You know what I'm talking about, right?
(Of course, we know)
You keep looking for someone who understands.
(Begging for understanding)
I know what you mean.
Who was Messi?
Well...
I was a little bit like Messi.
(A bit of an overstatement?)
(I ruled the field at that time)
I think we have the perfect guest today.
Being first and second best is a very competitive area.
But through a friendly rivalry, the two became top athletes.
- Right. - That was nice.
He was the music teacher for Beethoven, Schubert, and Liszt
as well as the president of Vienna Arts Society.
Salieri has been in the shadows of the genius composer,
Mozart, and is known to us as the second best composer.
In the movie, "Amadeus," Salieri is portrayed as someone who poisons Mozart
due to his jealousy and inferiority complex.
After this move came out,
people started using "Salieri Syndrome" to describe the
extreme mental state of the people who are second best.
The Korean society is very competitive, so we put a ranking on everything.
- We even rank the famous restaurants. - Yeah.
More people are starting to relate with the
Salieri Syndrome due to inferiority complex.
So today, we'll debate about being the second best
with the Korean representative, Lee Chun-soo.
Am I abnormal for getting stressed out by comparing myself to the best?
(First round of votes)
He says he's stressed about being second best.
If you think it's abnormal, please press your buttons. One, two, three!
Press them.
(Normal: 3 VS 10: Abnormal)
Everyone except a few pressed them.
Zhang Yuan, who's stressing you out so much?
Rather than getting stressed out...
I think the very best is a role model for the second best.
- A role model? - Yes. A goal.
I wanted to ask you guys.
Is Hyun-moo the very best or the second best out of the MCs?
The third best...
I think he's like the fourth best...
The 10th best...
He's the very best. He works on all the shows and at all the stations.
Last year, he received an award at the Paeksang Arts Awards.
- He's Jun Paeksang. - Right.
I still remember what he said at that time.
I worked hard for 3 years because I wanted to be an awesome MC like Dong-yeob.
During the 3 years,
although I didn't become like Dong-yeob, I became Jun Hyun-moo.
(Cringing)
It was so memorable.
- So at first... - My toes curled when I heard it.
It was hard for me to say it too.
Dong-yeob used to be the very best for Hyun-moo,
but he became the very best now because he had that goal.
And that's how he became the best MC today.
You guys will always be the second best because you have no ambition.
That's not it.
Yuan touched on a very good point.
Dong-yeob and Hyun-moo have different charms.
Because they're different, he can't become like Dong-yeob no matter how hard he tries.
They're built differently.
But you succeeded by finding your own unique set of charms.
If you hadn't done that and just tried to copy Dong-yeob to beat him,
I don't think you would be at where you are today.
But Sam, I agree with Yuan.
You'll work harder if you have a goal and someone to follow after.
It'll motivate...
I think it's a positive kind of stress rather than a negative one.
Alberto said that it could be motivating.
But I think inferiority complex is the most useless kind of complex there is.
The most useless kind of complex?
Bitter persimmons and inferior persimmons. (Korean word play)
- It's because... - He said it's the most useless.
I think it can only be negative.
I think for Hyun-moo,
rather than comparing himself to someone else,
he should find his own strengths, and that's what he did.
I think it's just that the man in the agenda has not demonstrated his strengths yet.
Ooh, he said "demonstrate."
Wait, excuse me.
Chul-soo.
The two are in a competitive...
- Who's Chul-soo? - He keeps calling him Chul-soo.
- It's Chun-soo. - Right, Chun-soo.
(You said he was famous in Egypt...)
(Warning)
Chun-soo, the man from this agenda is coming in as second best right now.
The fact that he came in second place is a good thing.
He shouldn't focus on the useless inferiority complex and use his strengths well...
- I think he could best him. - Zhang Yuan?
People's charms and colors come out only when they're compared with someone else.
No they don't.
That's not it.
- Tyler disagrees with China. - Go ahead.
There's the saying, "There may be blue and better blue."
Then if you compare...
- That's not... - If he...
- Let me finish. - Okay.
I'm going to finish.
You guys might end up holding hands.
You're going to compare yourself to them for the rest of your life.
But you can compare yourself to yourself.
The present you versus the future you.
The person grows by looking at himself.
If he looks at someone else and tries to catch up to them,
- it will be a waste of time. - Zhang Yuan said okay.
I think Tyler should thank me.
- Out of nowhere? - Thank you?
Because out of this group of people,
Tyler is portrayed as the one who's smart and speaks eloquently.
But he's considered good only when compared to us.
(I'm speechless)
If we were all Korean, this kind of image wouldn't have been possible.
Because I'm here...
(Yuan created Tyler's image for him)
He has his colors and...
So this is what sacrifice means.
(There is no very best or second best if you don't compare people)
(Yuan wins)
Tyler said something nice.
I also think that you should strive to be a better version of yourself.
But there's a problem.
It's not easy sometimes to grow by yourself.
Having someone to compare yourself to will be motivating.
For example, like the man in the agenda,
he'll be stressed because of someone who's better than him
but he can work hard and grow. That's one way.
- Right. - Or...
he can admit that someone is better than him but be satisfied with where he is.
There's no growth.
Carlos! Carlos!
The thing I don't understand is...
It's nice to work harder to catch up to someone.
But if you just pick one person and get ambitious to beat that one person,
you'll feel more and more inferior.
I think we have to consider that.
Before I became a pro gamer,
I think was about 15.
I passed the preliminaries and ended up in the finals for StarCraft.
It was held in San Francisco.
Because I was so young, I went with my mom.
It was my first time finding out that such thing existed.
I was so happy that I could go on a trip thanks to a game.
And I was very proud.
When I got third place,
I was satisfied and felt like it would be okay even if that was my last game.
I got first place later on.
That's a healthy way to think.
I see.
We talked about the Salieri Syndrome.
Do your countries have this kind of notion about being the second best?
In China, there's a word, "Erbashou."
It means the second best person.
We are taught that people only remember the ones who won the first place
and forget about the second bests.
We think that it's better to be the third place or even the tenth,
because the person who won the second place has the lowest level of happiness.
- That's what people say. - Right, bronze medalists are happier.
So Chinese people care a lot about winning the first place.
In Ghana, we have a similar mindset with Chinese.
If you take a test with 100 points as a perfect score
and receives 95 points,
your parents will be like what happens to that five points?
(Really?)
Obviously, 95 points is a respectable score,
but people perceive that you missed 5 points not because you're not smart enough
but because you didn't work hard. There's a negative perception.
- I think we're the opposite. - People's attitude is changing though.
It's not like that in Canada?
We don't have a mindset that only praises the best.
We root for under dogs.
If we know that a certain team has advantage over other team,
we usually root for the weaker team.
In Norway, our common goal as a society is to reach equality.
We don't really have the concept of "second best."
We don't really care about ranks.
For instance,University of Oslo was ranked second
in the ranking in prestige among the universities in Northern Europe.
University of Helsinki in Finland was ranked first.
Finland is known for their great education system.
So the fact that we ranked second is a remarkable thing.
- We're very proud. - You don't want to beat Helsinki University?
Why. It's great that we ranked second.
- You're content with second place. - It's good enough.
They don't think that they lost to Finland,
they are proud that they ranked second.
This discussion got me thinking. In Hungary, we care more about
participation than winning.
That's a good attitude to take, I guess.
(Opinions pouring in)
No, no.
Never!
Let's just be happy.
I'm imagining a situation where I got the worst score in school
and told my parents that what matters is that I took the test.
He'll be like--
(Sam's grandfather's whip)
(So scared)
In Brazil, people are not very competitive.
We're happy if we have our beer and weekend barbeque
and are healthy enough to dance samba.
People know that what makes them happy and what's really important to them.
They are happy as long as they have those.
In my childhood, I used to get jealous and wish my parents were rich
when I saw my friends having nicer stuff and eating fancier meals.
You never felt that way?
Let's say my neighbor has really nice shoes or clothes.
Then I'd just go ask to borrow them on special occasions
when I want to look fancy.
He's an optimistic fellow.
You don't need to feel sorry for yourself because of such things.
The biggest stress trigger for the second best must be the
feeling of inferiority they get by being compared to the best.
According to the survey on job search sites,
70% of people have felt an inferiority complex at work.
The biggest reason was his or her perceived lack of ability to do their jobs.
Other reasons include an ability to speak foreign language, education background,
and family background.
What is the biggest inferiority complex trigger in your country?
Though we don't really care about rankings in Norway,
many of younger people feel an inferiority complex in regards to their looks.
About their looks?
Half of high schoolers say that they are not happy with their appearances.
Especially, almost 70% of female students express dissatisfaction with their looks.
The media and commercials
set this unrealistic standards for the so-called "ideal" physical appearance
which make younger people feel unhappy with their own looks.
Hence was made this award.
It's an award given to an ad company or a broadcasting company
that had the worst effect on people's body image.
So it's not a good award.
Yes, it's disgraceful.
The chosen company will be given a gold barbie doll.
Because Barbie dolls represent the unrealistic self-image induced by the media.
Yes, barbie dolls caused lots of controversies.
It sets unrealistic standards.
I think Chinese people might feel an inferiority complex when traveling abroad.
Because, before Quing Dynasty, China was like the strongest country in the world.
- Before Quing Dynasty? - Yes.
That's like ages ago.
That must be a long-held inferiority complex.
China flourished in Ming Dynasty and in Tang Dynasty.
Because we have such a long history,
people often wonder how wonderful it'd have been if they were born in that era.
In present time, China can't wield much power in the global society and so on.
That's our inferiority complex.
I think China feels inferior when it comes to the U.S related matters.
The U.S has history of only two hundred and some years.
But it's the most powerful country in the world now.
They are practically number one even in sports.
That's why Chinese people have a bit of an inferiority complex.
It's the inferiority of the second best.
China has come a long way and become the second most powerful country in world economy.
But many people are not satisfied with that.
Such discontent has caused lots of problems.
Younger people are fed up with that pressure to work hard.
- They want to live happily. - Right.
The overall attitude is changing a lot among younger folks.
Since Canada is right next to the U.S,
Canadians are super sensitive about being treated as a part of the U.S.
When it's told as a joke, we just take it with a smile, but-
Isn't Canada a part of the U.S?
It's actually pretty funny when people call it
the 51st state of the U.S.
Your president is Mr. Obama, right?
We don't have a president. We have a prime minister.
It's insulting when someone says that
Canada's culture is pretty much similar to that of the U.S.
Some people said that they don't need to go to Canada since they've been to the U.S.
I was furious when I heard that.
There was such perception in Korea long time ago.
- Is there a sense of inferiority against the U.S? - Not at all.
Not at all.
(I think there is)
There was this beer commercial that ran for a long time.
It's called "I am Canadian."
It's basically asking not to compare us to the U.S.
We have a prime minister, not a president.
We believe in peacekeeping, not policing.
That commercial was super popular and
it even won the Gold Quill Award.
It was amazing. It's beer called Molson.
Do you have anything to say to Canada?
Such as we're great at playing baseball?
We don't really care about Canada.
Dang.
(That had a stronger impact than any other harsh words could have)
We can't really distinguish Canadians from Americans.
Of course, we do know that we are separate countries.
But there are so many Canadians living in the U.S,
and we speak the same language, pronounce words in the same way.
So we just think of them as our neighbors living on the other side of the border.
We don't feel the need to differentiate ourselves from them.
We are discussing about being the best and the second best.
Both the best and the second best have their own worries and hardships.
Let's have a vote then.
If you could choose, would you live as the best or the second best?
Raise your hand if you want to live as the best.
Isn't it better to be the best?
There can be a difference in perception.
Do you think Yoo Jae-seok is happier or Park Myung-soo?
Many people actually think that Park Myung-soo must be happier.
After the show, Jae-seok's always busy doing meetings and making calls,
because he's pressured by the sense of responsibility.
You don't feel that pressure, Hyun-moo?
I go home as soon as possible with Myung-soo.
There's the difference.
I chose the second best, because I like to be rooted on.
Just like what Guillaume said about Canadians rooting for underdogs.
The best ones get treated like a dethroned king if they slip just once.
- That's true. - They become unhappy.
They don't become the second best, but a failure.
The moment I heard this question, I thought of this--
would you want to be Kim Yuna or Mao Asada?
(A perfect example)
Naturally, you'd pick Kim Yuna.
Mao Asada is thriving too.
From a perspective of someone who does sports,
I think I want to set a higher goal
and work hard to reach it.
Being the best is better.
I'd live as the second best.
There's this Egyptian saying.
It means that the best ones get punished ten times harsher.
Because the best ones are always the center of attention and get all the spotlight.
They have to be very careful all the time. But the second best ones don't have to.
Because they're protected in the shadow of the best ones.
My favorite tennis player is Roger Federer,
who was the champion for a long time.
Though he's not the world champion anymore,
he's still remembered as the best tennis player.
When I think of Roger Federer, being the best has so many merits.
If I were to become the best, I will enjoy the honor
and work hard with the sense of responsibility.
I think it depends on what you do.
Of course, being the best is really important in sports.
But when I think of ordinary people with ordinary jobs,
I think being about the 100th best would suit me just fine.
I think you should apply yourself.
I think I want to live as the best.
Even for a short while.
- At least once in life? - Right.
When I'm the best, I'll have fame and money,
so I can get a pretty girlfriend and get married.
I'd buy a huge mansion.
(Yuan's love for big house)
After I have all that, I will step down and live as the second best.
Because I'd have everything I need.
What if you can have everything you need as the second best?
Do you still want to be the best?
There's not much difference.
Let's say you can have ten as the best and seven as the second best.
He sounds like a salesman.
What would you like to buy?
I still want to be the best.
(He was almost sold)
I don't necessarily want to be the best.
Only I can decide if my life has been a success or not.
I don't really need other people's recognition.
If I were to choose, I think being the second best gives me more freedom.
- I agree. - That's what I think too.
I mean, President's actions are always checked by others.
You can get more things done when you're not at the center of power.
I agree.
Also, the higher you are, the more painful it is when you fall.
When you think of this in terms of soccer, Brazil used to be the champion--
(Why are you bringing that up)
He's feeling sorry for Brazil.
They used to be so good.
Still, I'd rather be Brazil than being China.
They are completely scar-free.
They are not the second best.
You are so mean.
(That's a relief)
Because Brazil still retains the reputation as the soccer champion.
They can say that, though Germany is number one now, we are still good.
When I was working as a soccer player--
I'm going to brag a little.
Go ahead.
When we did games in K league and such,
there was a lingo we used, "a cheat."
It means that the player is so good that it's almost like cheating, right?
I was reputed to be the number one in the K League.
And it hurt and stung when I lost that title.
However, I still choose to be number one
because I now know how I can embrace such disappointments. I can protect myself.
You're aiming to be number one in sports announcement, right?
I'm preparing myself.
(Slightly embarrassed)
- Preparing to be number one. - Any rival in mind?
- Do you monitor their shows? - Because my seniors have started first--
I kind of can see their weaknesses while watching their shows.
I believe that I can become number one
by analyzing their weaknesses and taking their strength and work myself up.
(Good luck)
We hope that every youth in the world lives happily
without comparing themselves to others. This is Non-Summit Meeting.
In today's competitive society, it'd be hard to overcome an inferiority complex,
once you start comparing yourself to others.
There must be people suffering alone,
out of fear that sharing such concerns is embarrassing.
We have asked our viewers to send their concerns and worries to us.
Hyun-moo, please read the first story.
My girlfriend and I have been together for three years since college.
Even during a hard time of job search after graduation,
we leaned on each other and gave moral support.
It happened that my girlfriend got a job before I did.
I was so happy for her and congratulated her heartily, knowing how hard she'd worked.
Half a year has passed since then, and things are starting to get awkward.
I feel self-conscious when she comes to meet me in her suit after work.
I get offended by her casual remarks about her co-workers.
Few weeks ago, she took me to a fancy restaurant and treated me to dinner
to comfort me about my failed job interview.
Rather than feeling grateful, I felt offended as if she were looking down on me.
I don't want to be a petty boyfriend. What should I do?
Each time the girlfriend treats him to a nice meal, he should make a mental note
and treat her to a even better meal once he gets a job.
(Oh dear)
He should make a note and write down when and where
and what she bought for him, so that he can repay it in the future.
(Are they in a romantic relationship or in financial relationship?)
(April 11, 2016. Ribeye steak $152)
This kind of mindset is problematic.
- This is a real issue. - Alberto.
There is an easy solution. Guys should change their mindset.
The world is changing.
We have seen lots of devoted women who supported and rooted for their men's success.
We can do same for women. When your girl is on the road to success, root for her.
You can be by her side and give her the support.
Alberto. That's easier said and done.
Maybe so, but still, we should change the way we think.
I know what Alberto is talking about, but I think that's very difficult to do.
I think they should just break up.
Why do you always tell people to break up?
Yuan means it, really.
I think the girlfriend in the story is a terrific woman. I feel bad for her.
So he should just set her free now,
and work hard to succeed and ask her to come back to him when he has made it.
He's so cool.
I just feel bad for the girl.
I'm going to expound on what Yuan just said. I have a similar experience.
When I was still in college, I dated a girl who already had a job.
As we dated, I became so twisted.
I felt like a total loser.
For example, my girlfriend would talk about
how her male co-worker, Mr. Kim or whatever, gave her a ride.
I didn't have a car. I took a bus.
And girls like that always have nice and successful guys like Mr. Kim around her.
True. And she'd say that she doesn't have a speck of interest in that guy
and that she only loves me.
Then she'd say something like, the car was nice though.
Then that'd drive me up the wall.
I snapped at her and said that the car is a shitty car.
I was like, what kind of car is that.
I stuttered and couldn't even think straight.
I acted like a jerk.
Therefore, if the guy thinks he can't control his mind, it may be better to break up.
After I retired, my income started to fluctuate greatly.
And in the meantime, my wife's career started to kick off.
She began to make more money than I did.
In my marriage, I began to feel small and insignificant.
I see.
I was on my toes with her,
and whenever my wife called me, I'd jump from my seat.
Since I have good reflex.
And when I thought she might need me for something--
- Since you have quick feet. - I was ready to move.
I became all respectful even when I talked to her on the phone.
Even married couples can feel that way.
So if that guy's already suffering from an inferior complex in the relationship,
he might as well break up now.
I was in a situation like Hyun-moo's three years ago.
So after contemplating about it, I asked her if we could take a three-month break
since I feel so small next to her and can't afford to treat her well.
When you make such suggestion, it's important to see how your girlfriend responds.
My then-girlfriend said she doesn't want to break up.
She said she wanted to be with me during my difficult times
and overcome the obstacles together.
- She's so generous. - That's so lovely.
In a relationship like that, you get hurt by your girlfriend's casual remark.
For instance, I'd say, I'll pay for the dinner tonight.
And she'd be like, it's okay, honey. You should save your money, you know.
(You should save your money, you know)
Look at his eyes.
(Hyun-moo's replaying the painful memories in his mind)
I hope you'll overcome it with the power of love.
Telling him to breakup is a bit--
If you don't want to break up, you'd better get a better control of your mind.
Here's the second story.
Hi guys, I am a 28-year-old man.
Though my parents are not very wealthy, they raised me with much love.
That's important.
I have a stable job and am about to get married with my beloved girlfriend.
I think I can say I'm leading a happy life.
But there are times when dark clouds of misery cast shadows over me.
It's when I look at other people's social media page.
People who don't need to find a job, because of their wealthy parents.
People who already earn six figures and drive fancy cars.
And people who are dating head-turning beauties.
That stings.
In truth, I rarely have an occasion to actually meet those people.
Yet I can't help myself but feel inferior as I compare my life to theirs.
I make myself miserable by comparing my life to irrelevant people. What should I do?
He's talking about people he follows on social media.
How about this?
How about following people who have less than you and are uglier than you.
What if you can't find anyone like that?
There's no ugly people in the world of social media.
You can comfort yourself that way.
I'm not sure if he's really a friend to those to whom he feels envious.
If the person's your friend, you should feel happy for his or her happiness.
You don't feel jealous?
No, that's why I only leave nice comments.
Don't you ever feel jealous or feel the urge to imitate their lives?
Unconsciously, you become jealous,
but if you think about it,
you cannot get a real look into someone's life by looking at some pictures.
For instance, you might feel jealous by the picture taken with a beauty.
But they might be having a fight.
She could be cheating on him.
On my boring and tiring business trip with my boss,
I take a selfie of some place, let's say Jin Mao Tower in China,
then my friends get all jealous.
But in realty, I'm overworked and tired.
When I see pictures of a nice hotel or a beach on others' social media,
I do get envious. I want to go travel too.
But if you look closely, all the pictures taken by themselves.
It's just their selfies. It's like the saying, "An empty cart rattles loudly."
It's not like that.
It's just that you don't have much time to take pictures when you're with your lover,
and find a moment for selfies while the other person's taking a shower or whatever.
(Is he telling the truth?)
I feel more envious now.
(Feeling betrayed)
I'm jealous.
That's what social media does.
It makes people envy other people's lives and feel sorry for themselves.
We use it to show off.
Just realize the fact and take another look at your own social media.
See how hypocrite yours is and how it only contains best of your life.
Then you'll realize that same goes for other people's too.
As an ardent social media user, it occurred to me one day
that people who lead truly happy lives have no time for social media.
Because they are having such a good time,
they don't have time to post pictures.
Thinking over what pictures to post on social media consumes a lot of time.
If you're truly having a great time, time just fly by.
There's no time for social media.
Once you realize that people do social media to show off how "happy" they are,
you don't have to feel so jealous.
Is there a thing like "Depress-tagram?"
I got a flat tire, AGAIN.
- The A/C in my car doesn't work. - I'm sure there is.
All right. I hope this helped him a bit.
I'm sure there are "second bests" among our Gs.
Has any of you suffered from an inferiority complex, being compared to someone else?
- Guillaume, do you have any? - I am number one.
You are?
I'm like the only person who can say--
- Number one in what? - In age?
- You are the oldest, that's true. - I am and--
- I was the Star Craft world champion. - That's then.
You lost in the arm wrestling.
I did. I lost to Andreas.
Andreas is number one.
I lost to Si-kyung too.
- I have someone. - Who?
- It's Tyler. - Why?
I am a student of Seoul National University, like Tyler.
You are?
Oh, right.
(Everyone's surprised)
Wait, what's your major?
- I'm doing my master in Korean Language. - Really?
- He goes to Seoul University? - He even majors in Korean.
Samy's Korean is really good.
When I go to school, people ask me what I am doing there.
(Cheer up)
He asks me if I came to see Tyler.
They think you came to meet Tyler.
That must be upsetting.
- He really is being outshined. - That's gotta hurt.
I am known as the most unfunny guy here.
You sure are.
Right. It's something I am very proud of.
But when we did Big Data Analysis last time--
The top three unfunny guys.
(He's sure he'll get it)
Who do you think is number one?
It's Carlos.
He was chosen as the most unfunny guy.
(Getting ready to be unfunny)
(Life is so meaningless)
- Why would you miss that title? - Look. Their gestures are similar.
(Carlos's unfunny force is incomparable)
People used to think of me when they talked about an unfunny guy,
but since it's changed to Carlos, I feel like I lost to him.
Second bests are always coveting the seats of bests.
We're going to hold unofficial match to give second bests a chance.
Let's start with a match to find the most unfunny guy.
(Why would they do that)
To see how unfunny they are.
(Oh my)
(Carlos's notebook of comedy)
Gosh, the way he raised his eyebrow was so unfunny.
(Super nervous)
Look at him raising his eyebrow again.
- He's good. - Save me.
Andreas must be suffering.
I'm shocked by the fact that he prepared a notebook.
Alright, Daniel, since you've lost your number one title to Carlos,
you get to try your comedy first.
The mission is not to make us laugh.
- You lose if you make us laugh. - Camera crew will join us in judging.
Chun-soo, please help us judge too.
Turn you camera away if he's not funny.
Alright, here I go.
My first funny story.
I prepared comedy that's popular among old people. .
Gosh, he calls his jokes a funny story.
(He's already funny)
Get ready to laugh your butt off.
Okay. This is it.
What's the name of the neighborhood SHINEE lives?
- I know this one. - Me, too.
Ring Ding Dong, Ring Ding Dong. (In Korea, many neighborhood names end with dong)
He even missed the notes.
(As expected of the former champion, he's so not funny)
This could have been funny if told right.
Okay, it's Carlos's turn.
Carlos's turn to attack.
I made a joke with our members' names.
I think it's gonna be funny.
You lose if it's funny.
What do you say when Zhang Yuan goes out?
(Me?)
Zhang Yubak.
(They can't understand his Korean pronunciation)
(Zhang Yuan (an means inside) Zhang Yubak (Bak means outside))
So he's changed "an" to "bak."
(Satisfied) (Defeated)
The joke has to be explained. (He's already tired)
I thought he said Zhang Webak. (Webak: sleeping out)
It's rare to encounter comedy that needs this much explanation.
(I don't know how to respond to that)
What do you call a person with three heads.
Three heads?
Yuksam Station? (Sam means three)
Headset. (Set sounds similar to three in Korean)
(This...is...funny)
(It's hilarious)
(What a funny dude)
Daniel, you are being too funny.
(Is that considered funny?)
He said headset and chuckled twice.
(He might have made a critical mistake)
- Okay, last one. - Carlos, you're leading it by a big margin.
(Even his gestures are not funny)
(Everyone's focused)
What do you call when Hyun-moo becomes rude.
Jun Hyun-moo rye. (Moorye means rude)
(The game's over if he's right)
He's totally rude.
Na Hyun-moo.
(Jun is used when calling oneself in a humble manner)
(while Na is used in informal occasions)
(This is a real comedy, bro)
(Knocked down)
(His unfunniness is on another level)
That kind of joke is from 30 years ago.
Who's the most impolite singer? Na Hoon-ah. Jokes like that.
Even old people are shocked by his old-fashioned joke.
(That's a good one)
Let's stop talking about it. It's making me nauseated.
It's affecting my health.
I think Daniel is in shock.
He lost completely.
Daniel, you are now a funny guy.
He's so creative.
Carlos was way unfunnier.
Carlos, you're now officially the unfunniest guy at Non-Summit meeting.
(Good for you)
(Good game, bro)
The 93th issue of Non Summit Meeting was
Am I abnormal for getting stressed out by comparing myself to the best?
The 93th issue of Non Summit Meeting was
"Am I abnormal for getting stressed out by comparing myself to the best?"
please press the button if you think it's abnormal.
One, two, three. Please make your choice.
We had nine votes for abnormal in the beginning.
Today's issue is abnormal.
(Non-Summit meeting roots for a society where rankings do not matter)
I met many kind people today.
I had a great time. Thank you.
It's past midnight, but his wife's still there, giving him her support.
- Really? - She's right there.
(Soby's wife) (Thank you both for joining us)
Chun-soo, you've joined the world of variety shows now.
As someone who will soon have a show at JTBC,
- How was it? - I had a good time.
I think many of the members have a positive mindset.
I think you guys will live for a long time.
(The unfunny Carlos found it funny)
I thought he was about the tell fortunes.
I think I learned a lot here today. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
(We'll be looking forward to your sportscast)
Until the day we all become normal--
- We prepared some things. - Did you? Let's hear it.
(Normal or abnormal, you're normal)
(Guest representative, Nihat)
(Country of passion, Azerbaijan)
I've done quite a lot of arm wrestling, but I've never lost.
(Nihat challenges Andreas)
(The game's on!)
(Will it be the Non-Summit champion, Andreas, or)
(the new power, Nihat?)
(Who's gonna be the final champion?)
(Azerbaijan's many stories await you!)
Please welcome Lee Mal-nyun and Muzie.
We released a new album two months ago. I wish you guys paid more attention to us.
Roasted clams♫
They all know it. (Super proud)
Sorry, but why are you here, Mal-nyun?
I've noticed that people just read the agenda and don't say a word afterwards.
(It's not always like that)
Am I abnormal for wanting attention all the time?
I don't think it's bad to seek attention on social media,
but you have to be responsible for your actions.
I think my life'd have been miserable if I were obsessed with likes.
It matters when you post something on social media.
You even calculate time?
(We want your attention on Mondays, Non-Summit Meeting)
