(The eternal duel between Heo Cham and Lee Sang Byeok)
(Everyone in the studio starts stirring up by their presence.)
(It's the nation's interest.)
(Until when are you going to do this?)
(Until my medicine doesn't work!)
(Lee Sang Byeok is still the number one.)
(We'll have to wait and see.)
(Oh, I see.)
(I'm sorry, but I'm a big shot these days.)
(Stop it!)
(I'm here too! It's Boom.)
(Why are you here?)
(Please help me.)
(How can you say such a thing when you're right next to him?)
(He's good at flattering!)
(You know how I feel about you, right?)
(Boom compliments everyone!)
(Seriously, I'm the big shot.)
(Stop it, Young Sil.)
("MCs of the 20th Century" begins now.)
Gook Jin in the 20th century...
ruled the world of variety shows with a lot of cool words like...
"Hello?", "What?", and "Don't stay up all night."
These days, I'm ruling Radio Star with my fist.
You changed your hair. Is it the 90's retro theme?
That's right. Look at this.
Jong Shin in the 20th century was...
a ballad singer who was famous for his clear voice.
I sang "Your Wedding Day" and "The Day Long Ago".
These days, I talk a lot with that sweet voice.
Gu Ra didn't even exist in the 20th century.
You didn't.
- I was Kim Hyun Dong. - That's right.
- Kim Hyun Dong. - Yes, he didn't exist.
In 1997, I had my first wedding.
What are you talking about? Is there the second one?
This is serious. So that was your first marriage.
- That was my first one. - All right.
That was my first marriage.
That sounds like you're implying something.
Tae Hyun in the 20th century was...
loved by a lot of people because of how young and bright he was...
in "Sunflower" and "Into the Sunlight".
But somehow, I'm acting cute more often these days.
(Acting cute)
Stop it.
We're a high-end program that makes you laugh in all ages.
We brag about how we used to be.
- It's Radio Star. - Radio Star.
We invited 3 famous MCs...
in the 90s...
and a guy who praises the 90s...
and always says, "1999".
"MCs of the 20th Century" begins!
He is... Goodness.
He debuted as an MC in 1968,
which is half a century ago.
I wasn't even born then.
Jong Shin was born in 1969.
For about five decades, he was the love of a lot of women.
These days, he's becoming a friendly old man.
The nation's MC with 51 years of experience, Lee Sang Byeok!
- He's photographer too. - That's right.
Before Kim Seong Ju, who never stops talking,
she was there.
Before Jun Hyun Moo's "Lucifer",
her clown dance and random dance were there.
Oh Young Sil, the mother of anchor-entertainer!
- She's an actress now. - That's right.
She's in a lot of variety shows too.
It's not even weird to say...
that anchors' talent show was started because of her.
He made his debut 47 years ago.
He has a record of hosting one show, "Family Entertainment",
for the longest time.
It's already been nine years since the show was finished.
But we can only think of "Family Entertainment" from looking at him.
He's Heo Cham.
I thought today's episode was...
about the legendary MCs.
But...
After taking a break,
he only became more cheerful.
- Why are you here, Boom? - He's legendary.
Welcome!
- He's becoming better though. - That's right.
- Look at him escorting them. - He's actually getting better.
(He even teaches them how to open the door.)
- Hello. - Thanks for coming.
Look at his warm corduroy jacket.
That's Kim Gook Jin.
- That's Yoon Jong Shin. - Corduroy jacket?
- Boom. - Yes?
Do you think we don't know Tae Hyun and Jong Shin?
"This is Cha Tae Hyun, and this is Yoon Jong Shin..."
- Please have a seat. - Please have a seat.
- Boom, while you're standing up... - Boom, please close the door.
(Even the quotation on his shirt is cheerful.)
Boom is different from the beginning.
Earlier,
when Sang Byeok didn't know what to do with the doorknob,
- he was... - He's great as usual.
It's not common that everyone stands up.
That was the second time after when Lee Soon Jae was here.
When Sang Byeok held the doorknob,
Boom said, "Hold it down and push."
(He's amazed by Boom's sensible reaction.)
That was really good.
- It's nice to see you all. - That was good.
Sang Byeok, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, everyone.
When I was hosting "Singing Competition for Housewives",
I remember it was in a small studio.
I hosted that program for a long time.
It's been a while since I came to a studio in MBC.
You were here for "All Broadcasting in the World", right?
That program didn't do well.
(Heo Cham was in the program too.)
Young Sil, please say hello to our viewers.
I see.
Hello. I'm Lee Hyo Lee of anchors. I'm Oh Young Sil.
What? They told me to do it like this today.
You really have it.
(She has an instinct to make others laugh.)
Well, this is Heo Cham, the nation's treasure pot.
Boom, it's your turn.
Star, star, Radio Star!
Boom, it's your turn.
Star, star, Radio Star!
Surisuri masuri yangsuri fantastic...
Abracadabra shake it.
- This is Boom! - There you go.
He's the best at talking like a machine.
(He's the best at talking mechanically.)
Sang Byeok, when we called to invite you,
we thought you were your manager...
because your voice sounds so young.
- You have an amazing voice. - What did you do?
I've never had a hoarse throat...
since I started this job.
- That's lucky. - I think it's because...
I learned speech when I was in high school.
Sometimes, when I'm in a taxi,
even when the driver can't see my face,
if I say, "Please go to Jongno 2-ga",
they are like, "Oh, aren't you Lee Sang Byeok?"
There are a lot of people who recognize my voice.
- Of course. - That's amazing.
Your hands even look younger like you're in your 40s.
(Embarrassed)
- He doesn't have wrinkles. - How amazing.
He doesn't even have freckles.
His hands say that he hasn't done anything tough in his life.
(He's hiding his hands.)
I don't know what kind of connection this is.
Your daughter's in Jong Shin's company too.
- That's right. - He's not getting any job for her.
- That's not right. - He can't get any jobs.
I saw her complaining.
I've been thinking a lot because of Ji Youn.
She got out of KBS and expected a lot from him.
But he can't get a job for her.
Well, he's the boss.
So he should quit this job and give it to her.
(This is what Sang Byeok wants.)
But he's keeping this job for himself.
But I have to take care of her with what I earn from here.
Seriously, I was...
- To be honest, - Ji Youn is really good.
- She'll do well at any jobs. - I agree.
That's how parents think.
(He feels guilty.)
Why are you talking about something unnecessary?
I planned to...
- talk about it anyway. - By the way,
I guess Jong Shin likes anchors.
It's just Ji Youn...
You worked with Park Ji Yoon too.
Oh, that's right.
- Do you not like Oh Young Sil? - Who?
- I mean, - You're doing well anyway.
- All right. - Goodness.
Now I understand what they meant.
I heard you got told off...
because of talking too much nine years ago.
- Nine years ago? - It's because...
- I'm... - It's not long ago then.
I mean, I host a lot of program too.
Normally, MCs compliment guests.
But all of them attacked me.
- We really did. - I was really sad.
Why is it not "Golden Fishery"? I was doing really well then...
as the nation's aunt. I wondered why I'm on Radio Star.
I was a bit upset and came here.
- I remember that. - But you guys...
criticized me a lot. I was really shocked.
- Stop it. - Should I?
I guess it's their concept.
But despite all that, I did my best.
I said everything I wanted to say and thought,
"I guess I did enough to make up for what I earned."
But they made me look like a greedy one...
- on the actual show. - All right. I see.
- So... - Please drink this.
You are actually here to complain today.
You can make it up today.
- You guys should do really well... - I'm excited.
- so that I don't look greedy. - We couldn't even...
ask two questions yet.
In my opinion, we'll be done in about three pages.
(They won't be able to go further than page three.)
(They have a lot of things to talk as much as their experience.)
By the way, I know what's been going on with Heo Cham.
I heard you have a vegetable garden in Gyeonggi Province.
- Where? - Gyeonggi Province.
Why would you say Gyeonggi Province? That's too broad.
I don't know where it is exactly. I heard it's around Yangpyeong.
Why don't you say...
- Namyangju Hwado-eup Geumnam-ri? - I see.
Oh, that's in Hwado-eup.
That's right.
I heard you're running a restaurant besides the garden.
Since I have the garden,
I harvest things from there.
When I have spare time, I dig in the ground with a pickax.
- That's awesome. - But when others say,
"That sounds amazing. I want to turn to farming",
you want to stop them so bad.
(No!)
It shouldn't be an easy decision to make.
Running a business is not easy either.
Isn't that going well though?
I don't know. Do you think I would say those if it's going well?
Why do you think I'm saying the exact address?
If you guys edit this out, I'll be really...
You don't know what I could do to Radio Star.
By the way,
since Heo Cham is talking like that,
I feel responsible for something.
The person who brought him to the farm at first was...
actually me.
As the price of his lands went up, he sold it and moved out.
But I'm let there until the end.
- Until the end. - Where...
he lives right now is under this mountain...
with a small land.
I was there and having fun then.
One day, he visited me there.
No, I'll tell you the truth. It's not that.
We made this photography society.
That's why you went to the mountain.
So we used to go to the countryside...
- to take pictures. - Oh, I see.
I think he induced me to farming while we were doing that.
I've been living there for 30 years since then.
This is different than what you think, right?
So you're running a restaurant...
besides the little vegetable garden.
But you feed vegetables to chickens because it's not doing well.
Those chickens must be tasty though.
- How organic. - The salad is...
I mean, we give salads with steak dishes.
- I see. - It's organic.
- Stop laughing. - I'm sorry, sir.
(Sorry...)
The thing is, the salads won't be fresh anymore after two days.
- That's true. - You can't eat that anymore.
I have seven chickens.
I just decided to give it to them.
My chickens love the salads.
Why don't you change your business to a chicken restaurant?
- He has seven chickens. - Well...
- That's all he has. - But...
it's a good combination.
- They lay eggs. - Oh, I see.
I have 6 female and 1 male chickens.
So they lay 4 to 5 eggs...
- per chicken. - That's right.
I get at least 4 to 5 tables at the restaurant per day.
(He gets 4 to 5 tables of customers per day.)
I give them those eggs.
It sounds like you're more interested in running a business...
than being on TV.
I sound too commercial now, right?
(Guilty)
We actually invited Boom because of his trendy words.
That's right.
Why do you always say "1999"?
That's when I debuted.
Isn't that your talent though?
He came up with a lot of trendy words.
- I think I did. - That's right.
- Not only "1999", - There's more.
- "Don't do that". - That's also mine.
"Don't, don't, don't do that".
- I remember that. - There's more I think.
"Don't do that".
- What else? - What else is there?
This one is when you want to cheer something up.
Like now, when your restaurant is not doing well,
you can cheer things up...
with this.
I want to give it to him as a gift.
"Here we go!"
- That's how you say it. - Goodness.
- "Here we go!" for your restaurant. - "Here we go!"
- Sales? "Here we go!" - "Here we go!"
It's like lifting up something.
Is there anymore than "Don't, don't, don't do that"?
And there is...
- "Who?" - I remember that one.
- It was the first one. - That's right.
"Who?"
- I haven't heard of "Here we go!" - "Who?"
- Really? - That's what he uses these days.
What's your favorite words?
This is what really got me lately.
It's from Latex commercial that Kim Sang Joong is in.
I heard that word after a long time, and it sounded so fresh somehow.
It's even short.
He said, "Of course."
- "Of course." - That's right.
I think it sounds super refreshing.
So I exaggerated it a bit.
"Of, of, of course."
- "Of, of, of course." - What?
You use a similar pattern. You repeat something at the beginning,
- and say the right word at the end. - It's all about repeating.
If you want your restaurant to be successful, "Of, of, of course,"
you need to promote it a lot. "Here we go!"
- You can use it anytime. - I can feel the rhyme.
You can use it.
You can be the manager of my restaurant.
(He likes Boom.)
(Boom is a manager of the restaurant.)
I heard there's something you wanted to ask us.
I was wondering...
what this seat means.
- What do you mean? - Where I'm sitting now.
What kind of people sit here?
Is it because you think you're there out of nowhere?
You feel like you're someone's substitute.
It feels like you guys invited me at the last minute.
When did you get our call?
- "Hello?" - Was it a last-minute invite?
You know how this works. Why would you ask that?
- I came since I know how it works. - Why would you want to know that?
- But I'm still curious. - You should know better.
Was this Kim Byeong Chan's spot?
- We're dull, you know. - Okay.
If just the three of us came here, it'd be boring.
- Sir. - What?
- Count me out. My goodness. - I mean...
No, I only pointed him and me.
- I'm sure you can guess. - Right.
I felt like the interview was wrapped up in a hurry too.
- That's all right. - Okay.
I heard the title of the special was Legend or something,
but I didn't even start. I was flustered that it was called that.
I remember being very surprised at hearing the title.
I was surprised too.
These gentlemen here hosted...
"Morning Forum" and "Family Entertainment".
I just hosted a children's show.
I can't be one of the legends.
I said it'd be better if I didn't join.
I told them that,
but I think they needed a pretty woman.
(Laughing)
- I'm still pretty even if I'm old. - Okay.
- All of us look dull, you know. - She's very pretty.
- We are, but you are like... - You are pretty.
the LED light when we talk.
- You're shining here. - The LED light?
- Why didn't you get that? - My goodness.
"Omelet"? Did you say "omelet"?
- "AMOLED". Yes. - "AMOLED"?
Don't be like that.
(Don't be like that, Young Sil.)
- Boom, lately, - Yes?
you've been pouring out the energy you've been storing so far.
You're living a life of a TV personality.
- A TV personality, personality. - That's right.
Back in the days, I used to release my energy...
at night when I was done with the filming.
These days,
- I'm using my energy while on TV. - For TV shows.
- I pour out all of my energy. - Do you?
Are you exhausted when you get home?
I'm shaking with fatigue.
- When I go home... - He's getting better.
Compared to the time when Boom was starring on many shows with us,
I feel like these days, he's being...
- too polite. - I see.
You look like a mature troublemaker.
- MT. - Seriously.
- "MT". - I used to observe him back then.
He's about 22 years younger than Lee Kyung Kyu.
He'd say to Kyung Kyu, "Come on, don't do that."
He used to treat Kyung Kyu very casually.
I thought that he had lost his mind.
You didn't use the honorifics on him half the time.
I gave him my energy from the start.
- And he actually liked that. - That's true.
You didn't show any respect to Yong Man or me.
- That's not true. - No.
- I always respected you. - No, no.
You have my respect.
- I always liked you. - That's not true.
We exchanged our catchphrases too.
"I'm Boom." "That's the best."
I remember exchanging our phrases.
- That... - Like a coincidence in "E.T.",
- we crossed paths. - Right.
Do you think that Gu Ra copied your catchphrase?
- It's the melody. - Didn't you do yours first?
- No, no. - I'm sure the producer will know.
- The tune for "I'm Boom"... - "I'm Boom."
- goes C, F, G, and E. - "C, F, G, and E"?
- He copied the same exact melody. - He did?
- The same notes? For his phrase? - Yes, yes.
But I keep seeing him saying that line on commercials.
- That's right. - I didn't feel good about it.
- I was a bit disappointed. - I see.
- You're an expert TV personality. - Okay.
You can define the hosts of Radio Star with just one word.
- With 1 word. - With 1 word.
- I came up with your nicknames. - Nicknames?
What's Gook Jin's?
- He was an athlete and a comedian. - Okay.
- AC Man would be nice. - AC Man?
- AC Man. - AC Man.
- I am an athlete. - Right.
I'm an athlete and a comedian. I'm AC Man,
- AC Man? - Yes.
- What about mine? - What about Jong Shin's?
- You have a sense of humor. - Okay.
- But you're a producer too. - Okay.
F Producer.
(F Producer Yoon Jong Shin)
- F Producer? - Yes.
That's a great nickname.
- F Producer. - The wind got you from the back.
- From the back. - F Producer.
(Messy hair)
I tried to look like an idol star, but I failed.
- F Producer. - Did your stylist not come today?
- I was shocked to see him at first. - No, she rolled my hair today.
To be honest, when I went to say hello to him before the shoot,
after seeing his hair, this is what I told my stylist.
I said we might start in 30 minutes. He asked why.
I told him that Jong Shin didn't get his hair done.
I'm done with my hair. I am.
- I did my hair today. - I'm sorry.
He only worked on the back hair.
- F Producer. - F Producer.
- And you look like one too. - F Producer.
- What about Tae Hyun? - Well...
Variety shows, movies,
and dramas. He's on every medium.
- He's Nomad. - Nomad.
I'm Nomad?
- You're nice to him. - Right.
- You called him F Producer. - I'm Nomad.
- You're nice to him. - I should.
What about Gu Ra?
Whenever I see him, I get energy from him.
Just like Dharma, I get energy from him whenever he's on TV.
- His energy comes from this part. - Okay.
I'll go with Mr. Chin.
(Mr. Chin)
- Mr. Chin. - Boom...
has come back!
(Boom has come back.)
Mr. Chin, and here we go.
(Thanks to Boom, the atmosphere brightens up.)
He's the best when talking random things.
- If he's exhausted at home, - Okay.
- it means he's on the rise. - Right, right.
- Yes. - Try your best then.
You don't need to look for other opportunities.
- Go all in on that. - Okay.
You should build up a good root from there.
And you should try pruning from the top.
- You can't do it at the root. - That's important advice.
That's very important.
- You should continue on this road. - That's right.
- I should build my career first. - Yes, do that.
- Just don't do stupid things, okay? - Okay.
(You're right. And that's a wise advice.)
Are you married?
- He's not. - No, I'm not married.
You're not married.
- Didn't you say you're 37? - Yes, I am.
- Gosh. - He's like your son.
Then it's the best.
What do you mean?
You'll have many chances to host shows in the future.
- That's right. - It's so true.
- It'll happen later. - Of course.
How old is Gu Ra?
- I'll be 50 next year. - See?
When you're 47, he'll be 60.
- Right. - When that happens,
you'll have all the shows.
- By the way, - Okay.
his advice shouldn't be taken at face value.
According to my sources,
Heo Cham is gunning for the spot on "National Singing Contest".
- Really? - Hey.
Song Hae is very healthy.
- I found out that when Song Hae... - Hey.
go for drinks,
he brings Sang Byeok home on his back.
- Song Hae and Sang Byeok are close. - Right.
- They're rivals. - After that, Heo Cham gave up.
- That's circulating on the street. - They drink together.
- He carries Sang Byeok on his back. - Okay.
Drinking together and doing all that doesn't matter.
In the end, whoever lives a long life...
and survives in this industry will host that show.
(Whoever survives will be the host.)
- Well... - That's...
a big interest of the TV industry in Korea.
Who will succeed him?
- I am curious. - I'm telling you.
The one who survives to the end will host the show.
Hasn't he been hosting the show for about 30 years?
- He should be listed in Guinness. - That's true.
When will he resign from that job?
I think at least, he could tell us until when he'll keep the job...
if he plans on staying for a few more years.
- You asked him. - Of course, I did.
- He's interested in the job. - You know what he said?
"Wait 50 years."
- What? - Upon hearing it,
I suggested doing this.
He should keep the job until he can do the opening.
(Until he can do the opening)
If he can't do it...
- That's right. He must be capable. - You're practicing a lot.
"National..." See?
I told him that...
he should keep the job until he can do the opening act,
but he's been training for 37 or 38 years.
- He'll be able to do his opening. - Right.
- He won't mess up now. - Right.
He's over 90 years old now.
I think among hosts in Korea, he's the one...
- with the longest experience. - He's the oldest.
- Boom. - Yes?
- Until they reach 90, - We have a long way to go.
- We have a lot of time left. - try to survive.
- According to my knowledge, - That's right.
you were in your 30s when you started Radio Star.
- I was 38. - Right.
- He was around my age now. - Right.
Until when do you plan on having this job?
Well,
- I'll work as long as I can. - As long as he can.
- By the way, it's true. - Yes?
- You don't set a date to resign. - That's right.
It's not a problem if you do this job for a long time.
You should know better to help him establish his career.
- Here we go! - Here we go!
(Here comes Boom and the restaurant.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with three legendary MCs...
who hosted impressive shows...
and a man who doesn't need a microphone to talk.
We'll begin today's special, "MCs of the 20th Century".
I thought that Sang Byeok was a great host since the start,
- but you were a journalist? - That's right.
- He was a journalist first. - Let me explain.
Since I majored in Art, I joined the culture desk.
When magazines began to get printed,
I moved to the entertainment desk.
Back then, there weren't entertainment journalists.
- Back then, it didn't exist. - There were...
a couple of journalists before I joined.
I always argued with my editor-in-chief.
The chief was from the city desk.
- He wanted to expose everything. - I see.
How much we exposed celebrities was the axis of competition.
But I wanted to give them at least something to hold onto.
- If we expose them completely, - Yes.
I said there wouldn't be any news.
Other journalists first said...
I acted like their agents.
- You protected them. - They asked why I defended them.
Because of my principle,
celebrities knew that...
I was a civil journalist who knew boundaries.
- You protected them. - That's right.
Let's say that you were having drinks with celebrities.
If this person offended you,
do you make a threat to expose him?
You didn't do that, right?
No.
- Right now... - I knew he didn't do that.
(In front of this legendary MC, Gu Ra is a meek sheep.)
- Heo Cham. - All right.
You started off as a DJ from the music hall.
Didn't you start from "Cherbourg"?
- You know... - You succeeded after Lee Jong Hwan.
Did you come up with your stage name, Heo Cham then?
It's known as the Ping Pong Ball Incident.
They wrote numbers on those balls and drew 10 balls.
- I got lucky and was chosen. - Okay.
I went up there and said a few words.
Since I was a DJ at the music hall, I said a few jokes.
- You went up and made jokes. - Yes.
He asked what my name was, and I said that I didn't remember.
"My goodness, you don't remember your own name?"
Then I said my name was "Heo Cham".
- "You don't remember your name?" - Really?
I had no idea that this name would last me a lifetime.
- My goodness. - Goodness.
He's very well-respected among younger hosts.
As for his name,
he's the first one to name himself after interjections.
That's true.
There's Haha and me, Boom.
- Are you in his category? - Yes.
- Heo Cham. Boom. - I see.
He's the best in our circle.
He named it after "My goodness".
- That's why he's your ancestor. - Yes.
I think someone named Here We Go will debut next.
Here we go.
(His descendant will be Here We Go.)
Young Sil is the first announcer to star on variety shows.
Ever since you were a KBS announcer, people called you the Utility Room.
There wasn't a single show you didn't host back then.
Except for "Open Concert", I'd done every show where I had to stand.
I was the anchor for the 9pm news on weekends which no one remembers.
- I didn't know that. - You were the news anchor.
When anchors present the 9pm news,
they'd sit up straight like this.
- Right. - I don't think you can do that.
They wouldn't let people who had been on a kids show...
present the news programs because...
they assumed that the public wouldn't perceive people...
on kids shows more than hosts for kids show.
No matter what I said, they thought the public wouldn't believe in me.
- That's how things were back then. - When I became an announcer,
I wished to retire after presenting the news at least once.
- Announcers fantasize about it. - I had a strong desire for it.
One day, I heard that the owner of the station thought highly of me.
- I was told to present the news. - Okay.
I knew it was a rare chance. I was trying to do my best.
I put too much force in my mouth.
My mouth started to get crooked.
- It happened during the news? - Yes.
Surprisingly, my mouth felt fine after the news.
- That's why the news... - My goodness. She's something else.
- Your mouth's shape got crooked. - My mouth...
- didn't get crooked like this. - How did it look?
- That happens. - It got crooked as bad as this.
- It happens when you get nervous. - My mouth kept getting stretched.
- A viewer sent me a letter... - Okay.
after watching me on TV.
It said on the letter that it looked like I only chewed with one side.
- It said I should see a doctor. - That's right.
- My mouth wasn't that bad. - When I see Yang Hee Eun,
- I'm still reminded of this. - Right.
(To me, that mountain is)
As for her, it has nothing to do with nervousness.
- For me, it's because I'm nervous. - Whenever Yang Hee Eun sees me...
- she says, - Okay.
"We should speak the truth..."
- "even if our mouths are twisted." - "We should speak the truth."
- She often says that. Wrap up here. - Okay.
- You have to understand... - Good job. Well done.
I noticed that she used a lot of stories meant for the second half.
You really did.
Whenever I have a chance, I must get my airtime...
- You used a lot of your stories. - no matter what happens.
(Today's lesson: Even if your mouth is crooked, grab your chance.)
Whenever I see your face, it's funny.
Look at the tip of your mouth.
- It's tip of the chin. - Tip of the chin.
- That was wrong. - What was that?
- You were an announcer. - Unbelievable.
I'm so disappointed. Seriously. I'm so disappointed.
What she said was meaner.
- What was that? - You were on the 9pm news.
- You were. - Seriously.
- What does that even mean? - That was cute earlier.
- What she said was... - What did I mean by that?
I have no idea.
(She must want to take back her mistake.)
- Boom debuted as an idol first. - Yes.
However, it disappeared without a single trace.
That came out of nowhere.
You were able to come back to the industry as a reporter...
thanks to Kim Hee Seon and Rain.
That's right. When I was young,
I faced a lot of downfalls while performing as a singer.
Five albums I released didn't do well.
He released a lot.
I tried to figure out how I could get into the TV business.
I wanted to be in the TV business.
That's when I took the audition...
- to become a VJ. - Okay.
They put me into the event where getting an interview was impossible.
They told me to pour my energy into the segment.
Hee Seon graduated Chung-Ang University after 10 years.
- Every press agency came. - I see.
At that time, Jo Young Gu was a bit full of himself.
- He was considered a star reporter. - I bet.
- Right. - He was famous.
- He earned it though. He did. - I guess he was smug.
- Right. - I was getting ready, but...
- I didn't have an appointment. - Right.
Even the producer was nervous. I told him that...
I would show him what I could do.
A van showed up and Hee Seon got off from the van...
while wearing the cap and gown.
People screamed that she was here. At that time,
everyone was in a frenzy. They all rushed to her.
Luckily, I was on a right route.
Besides, I ran track when I was in middle school.
- That was random. - I came in second at a competition.
- Okay. - I ran into the crowd.
I managed to hook my arm with her right arm.
I got her right arm, and as for her left arm,
- Young Gu got it. - He sure was a veteran.
Right. We couldn't...
do an interview at all.
We were moving forward as a whole group.
I asked about her outfit and how she felt that day.
I had to still get an interview even if I asked two questions.
That's when they acknowledged you.
At that time, her agent said that things were getting hectic...
and pushed me lightly,
but I sprained my ankle and fell into the stairs.
There were about five steps.
Since I knew Hapkido, I knew how to fall without getting hurt.
- I made sure I didn't get hurt. - What is this?
- It's a story. What do you think? - Seriously.
Do people still exaggerate their stories?
I fell to the bottom of the stairs.
My microphone fell, and the batteries came out.
- In a way, it's... - Everything came out.
At that moment, I was so sad.
- I mean, my parents... - It was hard to get the spot.
- cherished me. I'm a good son. - That's right.
But I'm lying down on the stairs. I was so mad.
- In front of the whole crowd. - Hee Seon... Yes.
When she asked me if I was okay, everyone's eye was on me.
- I said this out of spite. - What did you say?
"What's theme of your outfit today?"
- You were still on the ground. - Yes, I was.
- I was putting back the batteries. - You were doing that.
- I made sure the microphone worked. - He hasn't changed.
- He's the same. - "What's your outfit's theme?"
I asked her that.
She smiled brightly and grabbed my hands.
She pulled me up too.
At the end, she made a heart with her arms.
She only did the last interview with my show.
It was crazy. After that ended,
other producers congratulated me for getting an interview.
What about Rain?
At that time, the producer for "Section TV"...
- He scouted you right away? - heard what had happened.
He heard that there was a crazy guy named Boom,
and he turned a plain interview into a crazy segment.
When her agent pushed you, it worked in your favor.
- That's right. - It did.
Yes. At that time, I went to "Section TV",
but people there didn't welcome me that much.
They were just sizing me up.
They wanted to start the audition.
They gave me a script.
It was a script for an interview with Rain.
- He and I went to school together. - You were friends before that.
- Yes, we were friends. - Anyang High School of Art.
- Right. - It was before you two debuted.
Like destiny,
they asked me to do an interview which I wasn't prepared for.
No one was there.
- Rain wasn't there? - No.
I was just in the office. I felt much better.
Back then, other reporters...
talked about themselves.
"How do you like the weather?" "What's the movie about?"
"What's the genre?" They only asked basic questions,
but I did Rain's impression on top of that.
I pretended that Rain was answering my questions.
- Can you do the impression now? - Yes.
"Rain, where are you right now?" "Come on."
(Imitating Rain)
That's what I did.
- You know? - This is the right mindset.
- I did Rain's answers back then. - You made it.
- You made it. - Right.
The producer laughed during my audition.
Then I got to join "Section TV".
How much did your Rain impression improve?
- That's all. - This is all, right?
- "Come on." - That's the funniest part.
This is one of it.
(That's good enough.)
- Everyone here is legendary. - Right.
There are shows we are reminded of the moment we see your faces.
- You're known for "Morning Forum". - I did "Morning Forum",
- "Love on the Air", and... - "Love on the Air".
- "Singing Contest for Housewives". - "Singing Contest for Housewives".
- What about you, Young Sil? - "TV Kindergarten",
and "Family Entertainment".
What about you, Heo Cham? Is it "Family Entertainment?"
I'm more known for "Show Show Show" than "Family Entertainment".
- I see. - "Show Show Show".
- You hosted with Jeong So Nyeo. - That's right.
- Remember that show? - Yes, "Show Show Show".
- Then... - That's when it went over, right?
should we listen to their famous lines?
- Lines we may be more familiar? - Well,
as for "Love on the Air",
- they'd build the suspense, - Pretend the show started.
- and we'd see the people afterward. - Right, right.
The celebrity would meet the person they'd been waiting.
Given the guest's age...
and circumstances, I decided on my tone of voice.
- Sometimes, I said, "Come on out." - Yes.
- Sometimes, I said, "Come on out." - Right.
- That's true. - The best episode...
of "Love on the Air" was Late Gu Bong Seo's.
He wanted to find a female member of...
his troupe he spent his obscure days with.
That's why he decided to join us.
They haven't met for 50 years.
I asked if he wanted to tell her to come out.
(Acting his best)
"Young Sook".
- She came out when the song played. - My goodness.
- The show was known for the song. - That's right.
- Everyone knows it. - The song played.
- Everyone knows it. - She came out to the stage.
(He was happy to see his old colleague.)
Up to that part was great.
- He was seeing her after 50 years. - Right.
He said, "You haven't changed one bit."
(Feigned laughter)
- Well, we thought... - In their eyes, it might be true.
We didn't get to see them...
- when they were young. - It's been ages.
- How could she have not changed? - Right.
- For 50 years. - I saw wrinkles on her face.
Are you a zombie or what?
(Their looks are everlasting like pine trees.)
It was when Choi Bool Am was invited onto the show.
Back then, people had to sew holes in their socks.
- We weren't well-off. - Right.
His neighborhood friend always mended the socks for him.
After many hardships, we managed to bring her to the studio.
"Hey, come on out."
- Then... - He's good at doing impressions.
- As the song played, - Okay.
- she showed up. - Okay.
He asked what she had been up to.
She told him that she worked at a sock factory.
- After hearing that, - Goodness.
he turned around because he was overwhelmed.
- Choi Bool Am did. - He cried.
Only the back of his head...
was on TV for 30 seconds.
- He had to turn around. - Gosh, I remembered that...
as a very touching story for a long time.
What were your lines for "Show Show Show"? For "Family Entertainment",
we're familiar with your line asking the score. "What's the score?"
- That was a sophisticated show. - Of course.
- It was the best variety show. - It was very sophisticated.
How did you start the show?
- ""Show Show Show""? - Yes, can you say the lines...
- how you used to say it. - When the song played,
- I said, "Hi, Show, Show, Show!" - That's right.
When it started, we danced and went crazy.
(Heo Cham and Jeong So Nyeo 40 years ago)
(A variety show with dances, songs, and comedies from 1964 to 1983)
We'd say, "Hi, we're Heo Cham and Jeong So Nyeo."
Goodness, one day, it happened.
One day, it happened. Hosts...
- had to be patient back then. - Okay.
- Every show was recorded then. - All the popular singers came.
When they were the guests, they had to leave soon.
Then the MCs' comments...
got pushed back.
The MCs had to wait...
since their comments got pushed back.
Since we were waiting even after we had dinner,
we said, "Let's have warm sake since it's cold."
Even after a cup,
they didn't come for us. "Let's have another cup."
We drank 1, 2, and 3 cups...
and cleared the entire bottle.
Then we got completely drunk.
I forgot all about "Show Show Show".
- I forgot. - You forgot why you were there.
That's right. I thought I was there for dinner.
I was completely drunk.
The associate producer ran over and told me,
"You have to hurry up and come."
I was like, "What time is it now?"
The bottle of sake must have been this big.
I got dragged to the studio...
and stood next to Jeong So Nyeo.
"Hello,"
"I am Heo Cham."
She said, "I am Jeong So Nyeo."
Then I had to say my next line, right?
(Drunk)
(Giggling)
"Say your line!"
"Come on!" The shoot was happening...
- at full blast. - You were drunk.
I couldn't do it.
The production crew went, "Get him off the stage."
I just exited the stage...
with a smile on my face.
So Nyeo hosted the show alone that day.
Young Sil, do the opening comment of "TV Kindergarten".
- Me? - Yes.
Do the opening comment without telling a story.
We don't want to hear another story.
We just want to hear the comments that bring back memories.
- "Show Show Show"! - No one...
- did that for us. - You have too many stories.
Say the opening comment and stop.
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shrug, shrug
Friends, see you tomorrow.
(It's satisfying.)
Those friends are in their 30s now.
That's right. They are over 30 years old.
- They are over 30 years old. - They used to watch the show.
That was what we wanted to hear.
You told us a story about Choi Bool Am's tears,
but we didn't want to know.
Please say, "What's the final score?"
- Please do that. - We really want to hear it.
Don't tell us a story about getting drunk.
Please say, "What's the final score?"
You stood with your back against the other MC.
Give us the closing comment of "Family Entertainment".
"What's the final score?"
It's time to see the final score on "Family Entertainment".
What's...
(The sound makes their hearts beat fast.)
the final score?
Even this was long.
- It was too long! - Really?
It has to be long.
- It has to be long. - I thought you said, "What's..."
- "the final score?" - No, no.
- I thought you did that. - I never did that.
For 26 years,
I went, "What's..."
- I dragged on the comment. - That's right.
I did it until I ran out of my breath.
Was there a time you dragged it out too long?
What's...
Then I would talk some more.
The final score?
- That's special. - That's right.
- That's right. - That's great.
(He is the master of the scores.)
Since Cham and Sang Byeok are really good...
When female announcers joined the broadcasting station,
they told us to contribute only 30 percent.
Women got 30 percent and men got 70 percent.
Who told you that?
I learned that when I became an announcer.
- So... - It was like that back then.
- It's not like that now. - My first program was...
"Gayo Top 10" with Im Sung Hoon.
Im Sung Hoon said most of the comments.
I simply had to hold the microphone...
and smile.
Towards the end of the shoot, my mouth...
(Twitching)
Your mouth was twitching.
It must have been hard...
because you are talkative.
It wasn't like that when you worked with me, was it?
This happened when I worked with Cham.
When I tried to make a comment,
he did this if he felt that he has to say it.
(Stop right there.)
- I... - Did he do that during the shoot?
Yes. He pushed me to convey, "I have to say it."
Since he liked me, he used his hand.
I knew older announcers...
whose feet he stepped on.
(He even stepped on their feet.)
He didn't want them to make a comment.
Was there a button you had to press?
No, there wasn't.
He did it when he saw an opportunity to make people laugh.
It's hard to host a show with another MC.
When he pushed me,
he was conveying, "Young Sil, hold on."
"Let me try something."
However, an announcer I knew said,
"He stepped on my foot!"
(I was in a hurry.)
I hosted a radio program with Sang Byeok for a long time.
Lee Geum Hee had such a great teamwork with him...
that people thought they were a married couple.
Since I am not sensitive,
I sometimes babbled on at an important moment.
Then his eyes turned...
(Icy)
When I hosted "Morning Forum",
I always wrote the opening comments.
I didn't make a scriptwriter write them for me.
We asked you earlier to say those opening comments.
We didn't want a story. All right.
- This is a good opportunity. - Give us the opening comments.
- Give us the opening comments. - This is how it went.
Let's say I didn't know what to say...
when I saw flowers...
in front of me.
These days, flowers bloom regardless of the season.
This isn't the season for lilies.
- I see. - When I did that,
my partner was caught off guard.
At least I had seen the lilies.
It's the most difficult job.
Most people would have gone, "Where is this coming from?"
The people who responded with a nice comment...
as if they were catching something before it falls to the ground...
- were Jung Eun Ah and Lee Geum Hee. - Jung Eun Ah and Lee Geum Hee.
They are simply incredible.
They always had a witty comment.
- Sang Byeok. - Yes?
When you talked about me,
you said...
- it's easier to work alone. - We have a long way to go.
When you talked about Jung Eun Ah and Lee Geum Hee,
you said they are simply incredible.
Young Sil, we have a long way to go.
We will remove some parts of the script.
We will do that...
since every story you share is important.
We will give you the script.
Let's go through half of the script and end the shoot.
We will go through the rest some other time.
That's right.
We understand...
because your years of experiences exceed my age.
- Many things have happened. - That's right.
There is something we want to ask.
You have hosted "Morning Forum" for many years.
A lot of middle-aged women who became your fans...
asked you for advice and made a request.
When the viewers watch a program,
they only see a side of me that is shown on the screen.
I guess I had the image...
of a kind man...
who listens to people.
People asked me to set them up for marriage...
and get them a job.
One time, I got a call from a viewer in Ulsan.
She told me that her life is coming to an end.
Since her daughter was in 11th grade,
she wanted me to take care of her future.
I sometimes got those requests.
"Please send me 2,000 or 3,000 dollars."
Some people asked me that.
You get a lot of those requests.
I bet you have a lot of those stories.
This question ended in a simple way.
It ended in a simple way.
Thank you so much.
Being an active celebrity,
he wrapped up the story quickly so that we can move along.
(He began to host the show in an organized way.)
Young Sil, when you hosted "TV Kindergarten",
people said that the program has the best cast in the world.
Does that mean you had the best dolls?
When I joined the broadcasting station.
I had a baby face.
I had cute looks and a short height.
I wore overalls when I was in a university.
I guess I blended well with children...
because people said the program has the best cast in the world.
I thought I would be able to find my footing in this field.
Then I got pregnant.
It happened that way...
because of my husband. The story will be a bit long.
- When I got married... - Will you talk about pregnancy?
Listen.
- I married a doctor. - That's right.
He had seen so many couples who couldn't get pregnant.
That's why he said,
"Even if we want a baby right now, we will need to wait 10 months."
"We don't need to plan anything."
I was like, "Okay."
I got a son as soon as we decided to have a child...
and then I had another son.
The question was about the best cast in the world.
- Life... - You talked about your life.
Your life never goes the way you want it to go.
You are right.
You had no idea you would get married twice.
- You thought it was the end, right? - Don't attack him!
You became happy again, right? Life is like that.
(She reached the state of nirvana.)
Cham, through "Family Entertainment",
you made a record...
for hosting a program in Korea for the longest time.
Yes.
I thought "National Singing Contest" would be the winner.
If Song Hae wants to break my record,
he needs to host the program for another year.
Really?
- Song Hae needs to do that. - That's November of next year.
(Song Hae will break the record in November of next year.)
When did the first episode of "Family Entertainment" air?
- 1984. - 1984.
For how long did the program air?
26 years.
(The program aired for 26 years.)
- I spent my youth in Yeouido. - That's right.
The legendary MC, Heo Cham,
- still dreams of being a singer. - No, I debuted as a singer.
You even released an album.
When I was popular,
my manager urged me to do so.
During the preliminary interview,
you took out your album and looked at it very longingly.
- You looked at it very longingly. - He talked about it once.
I brought it with me.
You released a few albums!
This album contains the songs by the 13 MCs and DJs of KBS.
Song Hae participated as well.
You have to look at this.
When was it released?
(When was it released?)
- Yoon Hyung Joo. - It was the heyday for KBS.
Im Sung Hoon.
Heo Cham and Im Sung Hoon.
- My goodness. - There is Song Hae.
Oh Mi Hee.
The title of the album is very cute.
"How Are Our Songs?"
You released an album.
This album was released by the broadcasting station.
- It was a commemorative album. - It was a commemorative album.
I released another album by myself.
- It was a solo album. - "Why Don't You Know".
"Why Don't You Know".
People really don't know the album.
(It makes him sad.)
What's underneath it?
There is something underneath.
This is what I used...
- with your wife. - What?
- Your wife. - Kang Susie.
I used it with your wife.
- Kang Susie. - Yes. When I worked with her,
- I used this script. - I see.
- It's a script. - The color...
This is...
My goodness. Did you draw on it?
- It's my drawing. - My goodness.
I drew it with a pen.
- You drew it with a pen. - Wow.
I had free time before the shoot.
- Did you draw that? - Yes, I did.
- You must have had a lot of time. - You draw very well.
- It's an amazing drawing. - I even drew this.
- My goodness. - You must have had a lot of time.
- My goodness. - These are...
- works of art. - These are really nice.
Doesn't it look like a work by Vincent van Gogh?
You can feel the motion.
- The details are incredible. - There is a genre.
- That's right. - How did he draw this?
- Did you draw out of imagination? - That's right.
- This is incredible. - Look at this.
Cham has a talent in drawing.
My goodness.
You can see a sleeping figure...
on the bench under the old tree, right?
- Yes. - Is that you?
It's Kang Susie.
You drew her out of imagination.
"I drew you sleeping under an old tree..."
"so that you can rest."
It looks like her.
- My goodness. - It looks like her.
This figure looks exactly like Susie.
You are right. It looks like her.
- I know. - Is it a wedding present?
No.
He won't give his drawing.
(My drawings are precious.)
Cham,
I heard you are preparing for a one-person broadcast.
- Really? - I heard...
the content is about sex.
It will be about sex consultation.
- Sex consultation. - Sex consultation.
- What kind of sex consultation? - What will it entail?
Men and women are the same.
They don't have enough information about sex.
"How can a man and a woman have..."
"a wholesome sex?"
I will talk about such matters.
Does your wife know about your plan?
Why would I tell her?
She'll know anyway when it airs.
What would she think...
- if you talk about such matters? - It's not like that.
- I will be with an expert. - I see.
It will be a program that provides information on health.
- Oh, I see. - However,
the topic I want to discuss...
is everything about Bitcoin.
Bitcoin.
The blockchain.
Have you studied?
I will begin now.
Boom, are you a fortune teller?
You said you have an item that predicts the future.
I spend a lot of time at home now.
It was unexpected.
It sounds like the beginning of a fabricated story.
That's not true. This is a true story.
In any case,
I stopped telling...
- exaggerated stories. - Okay.
I like to grow plants.
Zanzibar gem is a peculiar plant.
- Zanzibar gem. - They say that...
you make a lot of money when Zanzibar gem grows well.
That's why it's a gem.
I used to have Zanzibar gem.
It used to get a lot of new leaves...
even when I stashed it anywhere.
- Then I stopped appearing on TV. - Did it die?
The location and the environment were the same,
but it died.
It died completely.
Before I made a comeback,
- I went to the flower market... - Did you get another one?
- by myself. - Did you buy Zanzibar gem?
With a pious mind,
I bought Zanzibar gem and got it a new pot.
I treated it like a baby.
I put it in a nice place.
When I hosted a radio program...
and began to appear on more programs,
- new leaves grew one by one. - Really?
When I was on a major show, a big branch grew.
(Glancing around)
That's the funny part.
- No, no. - That's the funny part.
A big branch...
- He expected us to laugh. - It seems that way.
When I was on a major show, a big branch grew.
- Is it this big? - It's a big branch.
It must have grown since you got invited to Radio Star.
It grew a lot.
That's good.
The branch that grew when I began to host a radio program...
is the biggest.
It's very tall.
- Even now, - Will it reach the roof?
- the plant is getting more leaves. - That's good.
When this airs, people will buy Zanzibar gems.
- It's a plant I love the most. - It's understandable.
Zanzibar gem.
I have a story about chili peppers.
I have a greenhouse in my garden...
where I grow chili peppers.
The chili peppers are...
the size of an adult's arm.
I brought a picture.
Most chili peppers hang from the plant, right?
These ones rise up.
I think he is hosting a program about sex.
You prepared a lot.
You prepared a lot for a program about sex.
- It's not like that. - This is...
He is talking about a plant.
You prepared a lot.
- Are the chili peppers that big? - If I continue to grow them,
they will become bigger.
There are super crops. In Japan,
- they are becoming trendy. - Super crops.
They dig out a radish with a backhoe.
Don't be ridiculous.
- To pick a pumpkin... - Hold on.
- Wait a minute. - What are you talking about?
"Let's slice a radish!"
- It's true. - Listen.
Those crops exist.
What are you talking about?
It will take a lot of people to slice it.
His talk of Zanzibar gem reminded me of my chili peppers.
Okay.
Have you seen...
a chicken lay a turkey egg?
Exactly where do you live?
Do you live abroad?
You live in an extraordinary place.
Why would a chicken lay a turkey egg?
Exactly where do you live?
- Which turkey did it? - Hold on.
He is like Lee Gye In.
- Listen. - Maybe a turkey came...
and lay an egg.
- It wasn't like that. - Okay.
Chicken eggs are about this big.
However...
Gosh, it was this big.
It was practically a turkey egg.
I looked into the matter...
and found that one of the chickens...
used to live with turkeys.
Since there are six chickens,
I don't know which one laid the big egg.
It will lay an ostrich egg one day.
(What is he saying?)
We will send people in the future.
- I have a picture. - It's okay.
- We believe you. - We do.
Sang Byeok, we briefly mentioned this.
- You work as a photographer. - He is famous.
I have always had a dream of being a photographer.
- I wanted... - You wanted to take pictures.
to pursue that dream someday.
Then I left "Morning Forum"...
and my daughter started to work in this business.
I took photos as if I were taking sorrow out of my chest.
You took a lot of photos of the trees.
The trees.
(Sang Byeok's photos of the trees)
When I was little,
I cut down trees for firewood before I had dinner.
I am familiar with the trees.
Even at a distance, I can identify a tree.
Can you identify it?
I can identify a tree from its branch alone.
Without the leaves?
That's how good I am.
- We prepared a quiz... - I love trees too.
like "Family Entertainment".
There are different trees.
You want me to identify them.
- That's right. - Please identify them.
- The upper one on the left. - Where shall we start?
The upper one on the left is a willow tree.
- A willow tree. - A willow tree.
(He recognized a willow tree instantly.)
(The answers will be revealed in Part 2.)
(The confident tree expert)
(All the trees in the world are in the palm of my hand.)
(Did the matching chins find the best partners?)
(There is another pair with the perfect chemistry.)
(The unexpected bromance)
(Check it out in Part 2.)
- Where shall we start? - That one is a willow tree.
- A willow tree. - Let's check the answer.
(He recognized a willow tree instantly.)
(What's the answer?)
Will it be a willow tree?
- It's an apple tree. - My goodness. He failed.
(That can't be right.)
What happened?
- He failed! - Hold on.
My goodness.
A willow tree and an apple tree are too different.
- He is full of twists. - No, no.
- What happened? - That can't be right.
- I mean... - Let's move on to the next one.
A pear tree.
- A pear tree? - All right.
- A pear tree. - It must be the right answer.
(Although the branches are thin right now,)
(he can picture the plump pears.)
- It must be the right answer. - Let's see.
- He failed! - It's a jujube tree.
What is going on?
Hold on. Today...
What is going on?
I have no words.
- A chicken... - He can't find the picture.
- It laid a turkey egg. - A chicken laid...
a turkey egg.
He doesn't have a picture.
- An apple tree... - Then...
- will grow pears. - that one is a chestnut tree.
- Is it a chestnut tree? - It's a chestnut tree.
(Is the third picture a chestnut tree?)
(Please, it must be a chestnut tree.)
- What? - Ginkgo tree?
- It's a ginkgo tree. - Sang Byeok.
- What's that one? - He got three questions wrong.
- Okay. The last one. - I have no idea what that is.
- It's too thin. - Sang Byeok.
- You got the others wrong. - He has no idea.
- I was confident about them. - Just say anything.
- Let him look at it closely. - You didn't get any of them right.
- Could it be an apricot tree? - Please just...
- say anything. - Whatever comes to your mind.
- Please say something. - Just take a guess.
- I think it's an apricot tree. - No, no.
- Isn't it an apricot tree? - Seeing how the branches...
- At the bottom? - are split at the bottom...
- By the way, you see... - I have no idea.
- I have no idea. - Could that be a willow tree?
- No, it isn't. - It's a fruit tree.
- It's a fruit tree. - I think it's an apricot tree.
- I think it's a pear tree. - I think it's an apricot tree too.
(Everyone has a different opinion. What could this tree be?)
- I've seen one. Did I get it right? - Let's find out.
- I think it's a pear tree. - It's a chestnut tree.
- A chestnut tree looks like that? - That one looks more like it.
What kind of chestnut tree looks like that?
- It doesn't look like... - Put it away.
He keeps saying it's not a chestnut tree.
- Chestnut tree is bigger than that. - Cham.
- You can tell chicken and turkey... - I've found it.
(He finally shows the proof.)
(Is this the turkey egg that a chicken laid?)
Did you take the photo close to the egg?
No. Take a look at this.
- Cham, if you take a picture... - Isn't it a regular egg?
- of them together... - No.
Of course, it looks big if you take a picture closely.
- He took it closely to this egg. - Cham, this photo...
- This is driving me nuts. - My face would look huge too.
Isn't that too big for a chicken egg?
- It's unusually big. - It's big indeed. Look at the tray.
Half of the other eggs are covered,
- but this one seems too big. - You're observant.
- I told you so. Gosh. - It's really big.
- It's huge. - You saw it now, right?
- Yes. - You must've been surprised.
- Come to see my chicken. - Okay.
I'm so disappointed about the tree questions.
- So are we. - How could you get all wrong?
- I'm glad you're an entertainer. - Exactly.
When I just started farming,
- I was pruning my trees. - Okay.
He came and said, "You're doing it wrong." So he pruned it for me.
But that tree died.
My goodness.
(He lacks both knowledge and practical skills.)
- Boom... - Yes.
used many props used for variety shows for the first time.
- There are many of them. - What are they?
I'm the first person to use many items.
When I was a reporter on "Section TV",
I realized that I didn't appear on the screen...
since the stars I interview are more important for the show.
My hand was the only part of my body that was seen.
- They put texts on the screen. - That's right.
Only my hand was seen on TV.
So I was very upset.
At home...
I decided to make my mic stand out instead.
- You mean a name tag on a mic? - Yes.
At first, I made it with foam craft sticks.
- I used foam craft sticks. - A name tag on a mic?
That's right. So I made the letters, B, O, O, M.
So that people would know that it was me...
- who was interviewing the stars. - Are you the first person...
- to put a name tag on a mic? - Yes, I am.
Some people couldn't read it because I wrote it in English,
and in some cases, part of my name tag was out of screen.
Only "B" and "O" were seen.
So I made a new one in Korean that said, "I'm Boom."
So it became popular after you used it?
After that, MCs of music shows put their name tags on their mics.
Also, at awards ceremonies, they put their show logos...
on the mic and attach the mic...
to a fishing rod just like a boom microphone.
- Boom microphone? - They reel it. Yes.
For example, Tae Hyun arrived. While standing in the front,
I put the mic towards him and said, "Wait. I'm Boom."
Then he would turn around to see me.
"What are you doing here?"
Of course, he was there to attend the awards ceremony.
After the interview, I would say, "Thank you."
And then I reeled it back.
- That's how I interviewed stars. - Is there anything else?
For the first time in my life, I attended an awards ceremony.
I won the best newcomer award at the entertainment awards in 2005.
Staff usually sends a signal as soon as a newcomer gets on the stage.
- To make it quick? - Even before the speech begins.
- "Thank you." - Newcomers have no choice but cry.
- You should've cried. - They told me to go down quickly.
- You should've cried. - The staff member said,
"It took you only six months to win this award,"
"but there are so many more important awards after this."
"So keep it as short as possible." I shortened my speech.
But since there were a lot of awardees after me,
- Right. - I didn't know what to do.
- So... - You came up with an idea.
That's how I used a banner for an acceptance speech.
"Thank you. I prepared this since I don't have enough time."
And then I spread the banner.
They keep sending me a signal to keep it short.
So I prepared this.
(He's so smart.)
Thank you very much.
- He did it all to survive. - After that,
- He came up with many ideas. - all the newcomers...
- start using a banner. - I see.
- It was the first time. - You're the first one that used it.
It's me, Boom.
(I'm proud of you!)
A lot of games were created for "Family Entertainment".
And there was a legendary blooper...
- That was... - made you sweat hard.
The producer ended up submitting a written apology because of that.
- The answer was "Boisterous". - Hang on. Was it...
- a live show? I thought it wasn't. - It was the funniest moment.
- It wasn't a live show. - It was a pre-recorded show.
- Since it was hilarious, - Right.
and if it was edited out, it would be unnatural.
- They only said each syllable. - That's right.
There were four people in each team.
- They shouted at the same time. - "Boisterous".
They each have one syllable.
Shout the syllables at the same time. 1, 2, 3.
- Bo. - Rous.
Then each member of the other team guessed each syllable they shouted.
The first person said "wang" as in "big".
- "Wang"? - "Wang"?
- That's what he heard. - The last said "teol" as in hair.
What word do the syllables in the middle sound like?
(It's too embarrassing to say it.)
- I see. - We discussed about it...
and decided to include that part in the show.
- The episode even reran too. - It was hilarious.
Among a lot of games, there's a game...
that was canceled because you were absolutely against it?
- There was one game. - What was it?
I think the writer might have came up with the idea...
- while taking a sobriety test. - I see.
- What could that be? - These days,
- we breath into a breathalyzer. - Yes.
Back then, a sobriety test was different.
- The driver blew his breath, - That's right.
and the police officer smelled his breath.
- That's right. - "Gosh."
- For example, - Or like this.
I eat pork belly,
chili pepper, garlic, onion, and green onion.
- You ate a lot. - I eat all of it.
And I drink soju with the food.
And then I blow my breath for a sobriety test.
The smell of the food is stronger than alcohol.
- So you pass the test. - The police officer lets me go.
- It was a very long time ago. - Yes.
- It was a long time ago. - Also, back then,
I had an imported car.
- And it was a right-hand drive car. - Right.
It was directly imported from overseas.
- This isn't related to the story. - Did you take a test like this?
- No. I didn't have to. - Please go on.
- My wife was in the front seat. - I see.
I rolled down the window, and my wife took a sobriety test.
But she wasn't even driving.
(She was in the passenger seat.)
(I was supposed to take the test.)
She's like a chauffeur who doesn't drive.
And...
- The officer didn't see inside. - They wouldn't see inside the car.
- I rolled down the window a little. - I bet he didn't even think of it.
My wife blew her breath, and the police officer let us go.
(Cham was taken aback as he was ready for the test.)
However, the writer created a game inspired by a sobriety test.
A game?
One of the contestants eats food.
- For example, jjajangmyeon. - The other guesses the food.
And then the contestant blows his breath into a straw.
When he blows his breath,
- the other teammate smells it. - "It's jjajangmyeon."
"It's jjajangmyeon."
That sounds fun.
It didn't make people watching it laugh. It made us feel sick.
So I said...
- It was too much. - Yes. I said...
- You were against it. - the viewers watched the show...
- while eating dinner. - That's right.
- "We can't play this game." - Could you...
- What? - remember how you hosted the show,
and show us how the game would've been played?
- Think it's "Family Entertainment". - Shall I?
Who will play the game? You guys come out.
- Boom will help you. - Boom will do it.
- Tae Hyun can help you too. - The two of you come out.
- What should I do? - It's simple.
- You prepared a lot. - Yes.
But it must be difficult to guess this one.
- What is it? - Does it have weak smell?
He's on the MC mode.
- That won't be easy. - I think this one won't be easy.
Tell him to chew it.
- I have a good sense of smell. - Here you go.
Enjoy it.
Should he chew it...
until it becomes before let Boom smell it?
He'll swallow it.
- Should he swallow it? - Of course.
Chew a lot before swallowing it.
So he won't blow his breath with the food in his mouth?
- My goodness. - I see. I'm sorry.
- How can he guess what this is? - Okay.
- All right. - Turn around please.
- Okay. - Turn around.
- It's such a weird game. - Face each other.
It's a weird game indeed.
Now, blow into this.
- Boom should smell his breath. - Will he blow now?
- That's right. - They played a game like this?
- Go ahead. - Here I go.
(Tae Hyun shyly blows his breath.)
(Tae Hyun, what did you eat?)
(Sniffing)
(Groaning)
(It's painful to smell his breath.)
- What is it? - Guess what he ate.
- Guess what it is. - It has a savory smell though.
- Guess what it is. - This is fun.
(He smells it again.)
(The 2nd smell attack)
It smells like ox bone soup.
- It smells like ox bone soup. - All right. Now...
- What's the answer? - It's savory food.
Ox bone soup.
(The amylase added a rich scent.)
(What food could it be?)
- Chestnut. - It was chestnut.
Oh, it was chestnut.
Oh, it was chestnut. Since it was warmed up,
and I smelled it with the heat...
It looks fun.
- It looks fun. - It's not fun.
- Did you eat kimchi stew for lunch? - It won't last long.
- It won't last long. - It won't last long.
- I can smell what he ate for lunch. - Those would've been fun.
- He smelled what he ate for lunch. - I smelled what he ate for lunch.
When Cham hosted "Family Bridge..."
- "Bridge"? - I got my tongue twisted.
- "Family Bridge"? - You didn't need a script?
You knew what to say.
- You did ad-libs. - You let it flow naturally.
- He knew everything. - I learned about the games...
before I recorded the show.
And when we started recording show...
I finished recording the 52-minute show exactly in 52 minutes...
if the staff asked me to.
He finished shooting a 52-minute show in 52 minutes.
- He's incredible. - It's a dream for every MC.
It's a dream.
When I hosted "Singing Contest for Housewives",
the staff used a stopwatch.
They gave me a cue to begin. And just as he said,
if they asked me to finish the shooting in 52 minutes,
I finished the shooting exactly in 52 minutes.
It wasn't even a live show, right?
- Right. - It was almost like a live show.
The staff wanted it to be like a live show.
It must be tiring for you to record this show.
It's tiring.
"Why would they spend so much time on recording a show?"
He'll be on a home shopping show at midnight tonight.
Oh, really?
- At such a late hour? - Yes.
What do they sell at midnight?
- For days like today... - Policosanol supplement.
(Health supplement)
When I first recorded "The King of Thumbs",
it took five hours to record one episode.
- It must've been hard to adjust to. - He stands the whole time too.
I have to stand the entire time.
So now, whenever I get invited to a talk show like this,
I prepare myself emotionally.
I also make no plans for the evening.
- Whether it lasts 5 or 11 hours... - We can't do it that long.
- We can't do that. - That won't be good.
- Please don't be ridiculous. - He...
He should sell policosanol supplement.
He can't stay here that long.
- Right. Anyway... - He'll sell policosanol supplement.
I think Gu Ra and Young Sil would make a good team.
- Me? - Haven't you guys worked together?
- I think you'll make a good team. - We both have a big chin.
Big, big chin.
- You knew it. - We'll be lucky in later years.
(Laughing)
- Young Sil... - She won't let him win.
- had a hang-up about something. - I'm sorry.
She almost ruined her exam for joining KBS because of that.
But her mother helped her overcome it...
with a lot of effort and great sincerity.
I'm the last announcer who joined the TV station...
- despite short height. - I see.
There are so many flawless announcers now.
Anyway, back then, in the final interview at KBS,
the 10 finalists gathered.
Which contestant would stand next to me affected...
We were standing too.
- Among the tall contestants. - Right in front of me,
Baik Ji Yeon was sitting in the written test.
"I'll have to stand next to her if I advance to the next round."
The thought came across my mind.
When I went home, I cried my heart out.
"Baik Ji Yeon is Brooke Shields of Yonsei University."
"Brooke Shields of Yonsei University"?
- She was called that. - It's true.
Tae Hyun didn't know that.
- It was her nickname. - That's right.
- Brooke Shields. - I only heard about her.
I was passing through Myeong-dong.
I saw a girl who looked like Brooke Shields among a crowd.
She was glowing.
And she was Baik Ji Yeon.
I could just tell even though I hadn't seen her before then.
However, she was right in front of me at the exam.
I was stressed out so much.
I cried before my mom.
"I'll ruin the final interview because of her."
"She's an elite student and good at speaking English."
"I saw her. She has such a nice body."
I cried myself to sleep, and the next day,
I went to the final interview.
My mom saw me leaving the house with a sad face.
She brought me two buns.
She said, "Good luck with the interview."
Then she put those buns in my chest.
- My goodness. - Is this how the story pans out?
- My goodness. - What's this?
- That's an unexpected twist. - Exactly.
- Did she cook those buns? - My mom said...
she tried to figure out...
Back then, there was no technology to change things like that.
- Right. - So skinny girls...
usually put some tissues in their bras.
My mom made pads with some fabric...
and cotton.
The buns weren't cooked, right?
- Were they steamed? - What? They weren't actual buns.
- She made the pads by herself. - Right.
The pads in my bra...
- made my body look so beautiful. - I see.
- It made you confident. - Exactly. It made me confident.
And the fact that my mom made them for me...
motivated me to give it a try.
- "Let's see which one of us wins." - With the pads...
- in your bra? - Yes.
The interview began at 10am.
But Ji Yeon didn't show up until 9:55am.
I couldn't see anyone else.
Back then, I never talked to strangers.
But I was impatient.
I asked, "Why isn't Ms. Baik Ji Yeon coming?"
Someone said, "I heard she got an offer by MBC."
"My goodness."
"Things are starting to go well for me."
You must've been relieved.
(You must've been relieved.)
She joined MBC.
- That's right. - She joined MBC.
The final interview...
at every TV station was held at the same time.
- That's interesting. - That's right.
Maybe because she got a better offer from there,
she chose MBC,
and I came to KBS.
- I barely managed to join KBS... - I'm glad you did.
and became successful as an announcer.
(The exciting story of how Young Sil joined the TV station)
While Boom was taking a break,
- he thought of nothing but work. - He waited to come back.
Other people might've thought it wasn't a big deal,
but I took it very seriously and became sensitive.
I couldn't step out of my house for about one month.
I got in my car after a month...
(He was frustrated.)
because I wanted to go on a drive. I started the engine.
I got nervous the moment I started the engine.
Because of what I heard.
When I started the engine, the navigation system...
and the black box turned on.
Then I heard an announcement from the black box.
"Filming begins."
It reminded me of...
the producers who gave me a job and everything.
- All the memories. - Yes.
I could feel the excitement I had when a show began.
You felt the excitement.
I was surprised that I felt excited in my car.
"It's a camera too."
So I repeated turning it on and off.
"Filming begins. Filming begins."
At some point, I thought it said, "Stop it already."
I repeated turning it on and off...
to feel the excitement.
One day, I was at home feeling depressed.
Someone rang my doorbell.
I asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm a service manager from Cody."
I got so excited.
She came for a regular check up on the water purifier.
- Cody is a brand name. - But the word, "manager"...
made me feel so excited.
That "Cody"?
I almost asked, "How many pieces of clothes did you bring?"
- I got excited again. - The water purifier.
I realized how much I loved my job as an entertainer.
This is what happened at a restaurant.
When you're on a hiatus, you lose confidence.
I was confident and proud when I appeared on many shows.
At a restaurant,
I was eating meat with a friend, who treated me that day.
A lady who was working there recognized me.
She was surprised, and I said hello.
What she said to me while passing by cheered me up.
She said, "Chin up."
It gave me strength.
I realized there was someone who was cheering for me.
I thanked her and continued grilling meat.
She said, "Chin up", again while passing by.
- The same person did? - Yes.
"Thank you. I will do that. I can do it."
But she said, "Chin up", once again.
I started to wonder if she was teasing me.
- I was a little... - That's weird.
- Why did she do that? - I was upset.
- I don't know why she did that. - I said, "Ma'am."
"I'm not downcast. Why would you keep saying that?"
It turned out she told me not to flip the meat.
I misheard her.
She cared about the meat more than me.
- So I... - This isn't a true story.
- It can't be. - You made it up, right?
- It's not a good one. - But she likes it.
- "Don't do it" would be better. - No, no.
- It's a true story. - It's possible.
- It sounded like that to me. - It can't be true.
You know...
- I've read it in a book of jokes. - It broke my heart.
- It's in a book of jokes. - Yes.
Thank you for clarifying that.
You pointed it out for your junior entertainer.
- He thought, "He's going too far." - It's a story...
in a book of jokes.
- That's funny. - It's an old joke from the 1980s.
- It's a very old joke. - Gosh.
It's a very old joke.
(It's a true story.)
Boom, why is your neck so red?
I scratched my neck too hard when I said the ending of the story.
- I scratched my neck. - That's right.
(Embarrassed)
It turned red so suddenly.
- I was surprised. - Don't scratch it.
"Don't do that."
- "Don't do that." - "Don't do that."
His neck turned red suddenly.
- I wondered what happened. - He scratched his neck.
You can just put a bandage on it.
What was that?
(Playful)
Young Sil described Sang Byeok...
as the icon of shamelessness.
- What does that mean? - That's intense.
- The truth is... - My goodness.
How could you say that right in front of him?
Sang Byeok may not know, but...
in life,
there are good days and bad days.
Since he started over again when he was penniless...
And he was all alone.
"My housekeeper quit her job."
"Do you have anything to eat?" He asked me.
So I bought some bread for him...
or make a lunch box for him.
One day, he said, "Today, Lee Taek Rim's mother's..."
"70th birthday party will be held."
"Let's go together."
I drove him to the venue.
"How much money should I give him for her birthday gift?"
"Give him just 50 dollars."
"What? But the party is held in a hotel. 50 dollars are too little."
He said, "Just do as I say."
So I gave Taek Rim 50 dollars just like Sang Byeok did.
I'm still embarrassed. I gave him only 50 dollars...
and eat food at the hotel.
After that, I had to see Taek Rim in the radio station.
I wanted to tell him that I meant to give him more money.
You could've told him.
After that, I couldn't...
- I... - I was going through a hard time.
- Young Sil... - If he had a financial difficulty,
- he could've said, - They're holding hands.
"I'll give him as much as I can."
"You should give him as much as you want."
But he told me not to give him more than 50 dollars.
Why should the story end like this?
I couldn't think that he was having a financial difficulty.
Is that considered shameless?
- I have one more story. - Okay.
Sang Byeok won an award at entertainment awards.
- I remember that. - I...
brought a gift for him.
He said, "Welcome."
He looked at my gift and asked what it was.
I said, "I bought a bottle of liquor."
He said, "Really? Let's drink it together."
He opened it in front of everyone.
I bought a 30-year-old scotch whisky.
- I see. - He said,
"I think I'll put it back in the box and drink it at home."
(He changed his mind.)
- I... - I understand him.
- He changed his mind. - Let me explain about this one.
When I hosted... What was the show?
- What show? - Among the shows I hosted...
The one...
where we helped to find people.
- "Love on the Air"? - That's right.
- He's baffled. - Oh, that show?
"What's going on?"
(You must be surprised.)
Maybe that's why Sang Byeok said...
that Young Sil is the only woman who does that.
- That's what he said. - "The only woman who does that"?
- The woman who bought liquor? - No.
He was talking about how you treat him.
You called him shameless.
Young Sil went to the same school as me.
She's the only person who acts up like this.
- Please understand her. - Okay.
And at the end, I...
Stop it already, you brat.
(We cheer for your friendship.)
Young Sil said...
that Cham has things in common with her husband.
- What? - Is he like your husband?
I have known my husband for over 30 years.
We dated for seven years...
and have been married for 28 years.
But there are times when I see a new side to him.
I think, "Is he the same person I know?"
The same goes for Cham.
I thought he would enjoy...
- a luxury life in a city. - I thought so too.
I still can't imagine him working in his vegetable garden.
He has that in common with my husband.
- You still don't know him. - That's right.
Do you prefer to live in a city?
Not at all.
I feel so happy when I touch the ground.
I lie down on the ground when I work in the field.
I crawl on the ground...
while planting seeds.
You lie down instead of bending over.
I just lie down on the ground.
It's because I know...
bending over can hurt my knees.
You should take policosanol supplement.
(I strongly recommend it.)
She's an amazing woman.
(She never misses a chance to jump in.)
It looks like you go to sauna in Gangnam.
- I used to live there. - I see.
- He lived there before. - We met at the sauna, right?
So you lie down on the ground to plant seeds,
and then you go to Gangnam to take a bath?
- He doesn't go there anymore. - He doesn't anymore.
- No. - Do you?
- No. - "My gosh."
No.
- I can take a shower at home. - All right.
(He couldn't give up on convenient facilities in a city.)
Sang Byeok has always been writing down his scripts...
with his hands until now.
Do you transcribe it?
It's hard for me to focus on it when it's written by someone else.
Only when it's written in my handwriting,
- I can grasp the general idea. - I see.
Also, while writing it down,
I can memorize my lines.
- It's more helpful. - It's a good way to memorize lines.
So I arrive at the studio 1 hour before an 1-hour show,
and 2 hours before a 2-hour show,
so I can get ready.
It's because of my personality.
My daughter, Ji Youn, is the same as me.
When Ji Youn and I get invited...
to the same show with eight other guests,
she and I are always the 1st and 2nd to arrive.
- We arrive earlier than the others. - To prepare for the show.
I saw Ji Youn...
in person at my agency.
She seemed shy.
She was shier than I thought.
She's a nice girl in many ways.
Yes, she is. I know that.
"Sir, what happened?"
I've been paying extra attention to Ji Youn.
- I raised her with so much love. - I understand.
"Sir, what happened?"
I feel like I'm Ji Youn's home room teacher.
(Every father feels the same way about their daughters.)
Young Sil makes a lot of effort not to become an old bag.
I think there are two types of elderly people.
They're senior people and old fossils.
Senior people are those whom I want to be with.
Old fossils are those whom I want to void.
- I see. - There are only two kinds of them.
I always tell myself not to become a self-centered old fossil.
I tell myself to become a respectable person.
That's how I prepare for my golden age.
- Do you carry around a notebook, - That's a good comment.
so you can write down things you learn?
When I hear a new word...
that I don't know, I ask others.
A newborn baby looks so pretty.
"She was born on TR."
What does TR mean?
It means you're on top of the ranking.
Then why don't they say so?
Why do they say TR?
Kids these days like shortening words.
- Or... - They shorten words as they like.
I also heard "long-D relationship".
- I asked what that means. - Long-distance relationship.
Long-distance relationship. And I heard...
the word "tsundere".
- When I first heard the word, - "Tsundere".
- it sounded so strange to me. - It's a Japanese word.
- So... - It's a Japanese word.
I heard it's a Japanese word.
Whenever I learn a new word like that,
I could say, "Kids these days speak so weirdly."
"They shorten almost every word."
"They're destroying our beautiful language."
But if I thought that way,
- I would be behind the times. - The examples...
All those words you said aren't used anymore.
- Now... - They don't use the words anymore.
- It's hard to keep up with it. - I learned from "Sangsang Plus",
but the show has been canceled.
"Sangsang Plus"?
That show was aired in 2004.
That's why...
all the words she said are old expressions.
(The would-be senior is disheartened.)
Boom prepared celebrity impersonations.
Lee Sun Kyun, Lee Duk Hwa, Lee Jung Jae,
Shin Moon Sun, and Choi Hong Man.
- That would be enough. - Why...
would you tell me whom I should imitate?
- You shouldn't say that already. - We shortened the list.
- You shouldn't reveal it. - It's okay.
- We don't have much time. - Do it in that order.
- Show us. - Who?
- Lee Sun Kyun. - Lee Sun Kyun.
"Hello. I'm Lee Sun Kyun."
I think you should stretch your mouth.
- Now, Shin Moon Sun. - Shin Moon Sun.
"The first half, 45 minutes. Team Korea kicked the ball. Goal."
- That was good. - Lee Sun Kyun.
"Hello. I'm Lee Sun Kyun."
(Glancing worriedly)
Shin Moon Sun.
"Hello. I'm Shin Moon Sun."
- It's confusing, but it was good. - "Hello. I'm Shin Moon Sun."
Can you imitate Choi Hong Man?
Hong Man has a deep voice.
I like songs in the 1990s.
His voice sounds similar to the computer sound in those songs.
"Let's get it on."
- Something like this. - Right.
"Let's get it on. Hello. I'm Choi Hong Man."
"I'm happy to be on Radio Star."
(It really sounds similar to a computer sound.)
You make the similar shape of the lips to him.
Please imitate Lee Jung Jae.
- You're rushing it. - Lee Jung Jae.
- I don't have time for a break. - Lee Jung Jae.
I'll imitate...
Jung Jae's line in his beer commercial.
"Good beer must taste smooth."
- That was good. - Thank you.
Try imitating Lee Duk Hwa right after that.
"I like it. I like Boom so much."
- "Good beer must taste smooth." - That's good.
- You imitated Duk Hwa well. - Shin Moon Sun.
(He imitates Moon Sun automatically.)
(Good impersonations. Let's go.)
Boom has...
a rejoinder notebook, which is his number one treasure.
You wrote down rejoinders for different age groups.
I wrote in my notebook popular expressions...
- and old rap lyrics. - I see.
For example, "Let's get it on."
- "Let's get it on." - "Let's get it on."
- I don't know what it means. - "Let's get it on."
It's written in my notebook.
- In your rejoinder notebook. - Yes.
"It's going to be all right."
- "It's going to be all right." - "It's going to be all right."
"Shake it. Pungdesguru."
- What does that mean? - "Pungdesguru"?
- I don't know. That's what I heard. - I've never heard "Pungdesguru".
Is that your number one treasure?
- I have written down... - It's his treasure.
so many expressions like that. If I feel like...
Yang Se Hyeong does something similar to that.
I'm the one who gave him the idea.
The expression, "Yang Se Bari".
"Let's go, everybody. Thunder body. Rock your body. Jeju Dageumbari."
- That... - "Yang Se Bari". That's my version.
- Se Hyeong does that these days. - Did you come up with that?
Right. I also first said, "Busy, busy, modern society".
He added, "Mumbo, jumbo, smart world".
- He made a rap with those phrases. - Oh, Se Yeong did that.
I wish I could register copyright...
- for phrases like this. - Se Hyeong is like Thomas Edison.
(Se Hyeong is Thomas Edison of rejoinders.)
- Young Sil can imitate a celebrity. - Really?
It's nothing. I just imitated Popeye when I was a child.
(She imitated this character?)
I imitated Popeye.
(Imitating Popeye)
(Passionate)
- And then... - Okay.
- I... - That was hilarious.
- Was it? - Do it one more time.
(No problem.)
Is it funny?
No one has ever done it before.
- I'll imitate Suh Yu Seok. - Okay.
- A male celebrity? - "Hello. I'm Suh Yu Seok."
- Time goes by - It was really good.
- There's no one - That's not it.
(Overacting)
- Who else? - Yang Hee Eun.
- The night has gone - She's so funny.
Young Sil, I see why you got that nickname.
(I see why you got that nickname.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who can't be separated from a mic.
"The Song to Sing While Holding onto the Mic".
Shall we hear the song that Cham chose?
(What song did Cham choose?)
It's a great song.
"Love Has Gone with Autumn Foliage".
The original song is Elvis Presley's "Anything That's Part of You".
- Why did you... - It's Cha Joong Rak's song.
choose this song?
- This song is perfect for autumn. - That's right.
It reminds you of fallen leaves.
Shall we hear Cham singing "Love Has Gone with Autumn Foliage"?
("Love Gone with the Fallen Leaves" sung by Heo Cham)
- He looks great. - He prepared it.
(I took out my trench coat since it's autumn.)
(The cold breeze)
(Everyone is mesmerized by his voice.)
(He brings autumn into the studio.)
(Cham looks like an autumn tree.)
(The tree expert is also mesmerized.)
(The autumn man is irresistibly attractive.)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(I miss those old days)
(So much)
(He delivers the emotion so well.)
(Cham makes everyone feel sentimental.)
He's a multi-talented entertainer.
- He's an artist. - Exactly.
- He's an artist. - Yes.
- He's good at singing. - Painting and...
- He's good at painting. - Painting.
He's a great MC.
He's good at hosting a show and singing.
- He's also good at farming. - He's good at farming. Gosh.
He can get a turkey egg from a chicken.
He's good at raising chickens.
He's incredible.
He's fabulous.
Today's theme was "MCs of the 20th Century".
While talking to the four of you, I realized...
each one of you are good with words and have...
such a good sense of humor.
You're all amazing.
The four of you have been MCs since 1999.
We hope you'll continue your work until 2099...
and longer than that,
and remain our legend forever.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
