(My name is Gu Ra. I'm a detective.)
(Is Mad Clown Mommy Son?)
(I'm not Mommy Son.)
(You can't deceive my eyes!)
(This feels like a trap.)
(You're already caught!)
(Can he really control his gas?)
(And he claims it's pollution-free and it doesn't smell.)
(Shocked)
(Nobody can lie in front of Gu Ra, the great detective.)
(Is Lim Hyung Jun Director Kang Yoon Sung's persona?)
(I thought you were Tak Jae Hoon's persona.)
(He confesses about Jae Hoon's past addiction.)
(Are they suffering from withdrawal symptoms?)
(Do you think you can do it by yourself today?)
(The fearless magician hits Gu Ra, the great detective.)
(He shows his secret magic trick for the first time on Radio Star.)
(They can't stop getting amazed!)
(But Gu Ra, the great detective, never gets deceived!)
(This is a hide-and-seek match between truth and lie.)
("I'll Pretend I Know Nothing Today" begins now!)
People come up with Kim Gook Jin when they think about golf.
By the way, please pretend you don't know...
I failed at Playing Ability Test...
for 15 times.
- You never passed? - No, I couldn't.
- So he couldn't become a pro. - No, he couldn't.
- He couldn't become a professional. - There's something I have...
Park Gwang Hyun is doing his best to catch up with him.
I can beat Gu Ra really easily though.
- Seriously... - I only need one arm to beat hm.
(He can't argue with that.)
My daughters are going to be taller than me pretty soon.
Please pretend you don't know that.
They are growing up when I'm not.
It actually feels like I'm a bit shrunk.
It's the turtleneck syndrome. Yours is pretty bad.
I enjoy eating by myself.
I'm glad you pretend you don't know about it.
Well, I have to eat to survive.
What are you talking about?
I need to eat to be alive.
Don't you think it's too much...
to pretend you don't know about my drama?
People who've seen it like it, but not many people have seen it.
We still have some more episodes. You should stop pretending.
We sometimes pretend we know,
or we don't know.
However, we always pretend we know, we watch, and we're funny.
We're a high-end program,
- Radio Star! - Radio Star!
We invited four people who have a lot of secrets.
"I'll Pretend I Know Nothing Today" begins now.
He's the legend in the world of comedy.
He's the number one performer of the one-man show...
and the father of farts!
He's finally on Radio Star.
We'll pretend we didn't hear your fart.
He's Han Moo, the comedian.
He's like the father of "Farting King Pung Pung".
- It's like he's a real person. - That's right.
Of course.
He always looks sad.
However, with sadder news, he looks sadder these days.
But we're not going to talk about...
Why is he making a sad face?
He looks so sad.
We'll pretend we don't know the story. Lim Hyung Jun, the actor.
(Lim Hyung Jun, the actor)
He raps with such a clear diction on stage.
He's like Sohn Suk Hee of the hip-hop scene.
But why does he remind me of a pink mask?
We'll pretend we know nothing about rubber gloves.
Mad Clown, the rapper!
He's the first South Korean magician who visited North Korea.
He made Kim Jung Eun smile.
But he's somehow so nervous on variety shows.
Gu Ra, please pretend you know nothing about that today.
Choi Hyun Woo, the magician!
Han Moo is here!
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Mad Clown! - Thanks for coming.
- Hyun Woo. - You look great as usual.
Please say hello to our viewers,
Han Moo.
Hello.
I'm Han Moo, the fish. I'm a comedian.
Thanks for inviting me to such a nice show!
(He's still wild as usual after a long time.)
He used to play the fish character quite often.
So he once became the model...
- for the fish-shaped ice cream. - Yes, I did.
It was from B company.
It was a long time ago.
He was born in 1940.
He's even a year older than the late Lee Ju Il.
He's the veteran of veterans.
Hyung Jun, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, nice to see you all. The more you look at my eyes,
the sadder they look. I'm Lim Hyung Jun.
He's becoming an actor.
- He's always been an actor. - Yes, I am.
- Are you an actor? - Yes.
He was in "The Outlaws".
- "The Outlaws". - Oh, I see.
- He's in films. - I see.
- Mad Clown, it's your turn. - Hyung Jun is like his son.
Hello. I've been getting mistaken for someone else these days.
Did you watch that program?
- Yes. - Everyone watches that.
- Is that him? - He says that's not him.
They call me magician in South, but I'm called sorcerer in North.
I'm Choi Hyun Woo, who wants to become a magician.
- Nice to see you. - It's his second break-through...
- after visiting North Korea. - That's right.
He's talking about it quite often.
He always talks about it.
I've met him twice for other programs lately.
Whenever I meet him, he talks about it.
Are you going to talk about it again today?
Yes, I'm here to talk about that.
(His objective is clear.)
Han Moo, I heard you moved somewhere with nice air...
and fart as much as you want.
I feel so comfortable these days.
When I was living in an apartment,
because my wife and kids were around me,
when I farted,
they were complaining about my smell and noise.
It was too much.
I moved to Opo in Gyeonggi Province.
- On the way to Gwangju? - It's a three-story building.
So we all use different stories.
So I fart whenever I want.
Nobody cares.
Well, my fart doesn't smell anyway. It's pollution-free.
- It doesn't smell. - Seriously,
that's one of the so many lies in this world.
"My fart doesn't smell."
If it doesn't smell, why is it called fart?
Anyway, we have two dogs.
When I fart...
(Barking)
He's the father of one-man show.
- No, no... - That's the true one-man show.
Do they know your fart noise?
- Of course. - They must know.
They didn't know about it at first, but now they recognize my noise.
(Barking)
(The owner's unique smell...)
Hyung Jun has been...
in many variety shows...
and drama.
- "The Outlaws" was a big hit. - It was last year, right?
- It was an important role. - That's right.
- You're doing well in films. - Yes, I am.
Thanks to that, Yes, I am.
He's an expert of cowardly roles.
- No, I'm an expert of sad roles. - Sad roles?
Was it a sad character?
- Someone took away his lover. - That's true.
- And his lover dies in the end. - That's...
I didn't think it was sad.
I was tortured with water too.
- All right. - I guess that's sad.
I'm in the pre-production process with Kang Yoon Sung,
the director of "The Outlaws".
It's his second film called "Long Live the King".
I'm actually becoming...
Kang Yoon Sung's persona.
- Kim Sung Kyun and I are... - Isn't it about this politician...
- who was a gangster in the past? - That's right.
By the way, you were once Tak Jae Hoon's persona.
- Was I? - What are you on about?
- What are you talking about? - Seriously.
- You've changed your route. - No, no...
- You were Jae Hoon's persona. - People misunderstand quite often.
I'm actually here to explain about that today.
- Explain you're Jae Hoon's persona? - No, I'm not.
We used to be really close to each other.
It was in the past.
- Really? - That's a long time ago.
We'll talk about this later.
- All right. - I see.
- He abandoned Jae Hoon. - That's right.
(He's not with Tak Jae Hoon anymore.)
At the pre-filming interview, Hyung Jun said...
he doesn't have a contract with any management company now.
I'm working by myself from "The Outlaws".
- It must be... - Isn't it great?
I don't have any worries when I'm working for a film.
Are you saying that because of someone?
I'm actually...
waiting for a call from someone.
I'm just...
waiting until they have a space.
I hope he gives me a chance.
He called me...
He called me last year.
- Why didn't you sign with C-JeS? - Why not?
It's...
What do you mean by "Why not?"
C-JeS Entertainment is good. Park Byung Eun is there too.
With Jong Shin,
things have been always bad...
from a long time ago.
- Always bad? - Since I was not known at all,
- Did something happen? - Yes.
I've brought my demo tapes to him, but he didn't even open the door.
- He auditioned. - Oh, really?
My life goal became...
to sign with his company.
I even acted as a bridge between you guys.
- You did. - But...
he rejected it without even thinking.
- Let's meet and talk about it then. - What's your condition?
I couldn't even talk about that.
- What? - He just doesn't like Hyung Jun.
(His condition is not signing Hyung Jun.)
I heard your hands are faster than your mouth, Mad Clown.
So you asked our production team if they can prepare a laptop.
- That's what I heard. - Really?
It's not like my hands are faster.
I'm just not good at talking in real life.
I'm better with it online.
- I see. - Oh, you'd like to use a chatroom.
By the way, do you know Han Moo well?
Of course.
He's a rapper.
- Hip-hop. - Oh, okay.
He's a musician.
I know he's a musician.
But I think you should raise your tone up a bit.
- He's right. - I see.
He's saying that because you're like his grandson.
You're about his grandson's age.
I'll raise it up.
His tone is higher than now when he raps.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Wow...
- That's... - What?
Don't just think about your gas.
You don't have to show us something.
You can just talk naturally.
He wants to show us something today.
I can see that.
Mad Clown,
it doesn't sound like you,
but your best friend, Sleepy, told you to be here.
Sleepy told me...
to talk about him a lot on Radio Star...
whether it's a good story about him...
or not.
He doesn't care if it's a good story or not.
- About Sleepy? - Yes.
So do you have anything to talk about him?
No, I don't.
There are not really good things to talk about him.
He asked you about it though. Don't you have anything?
I have a lot of stories, but I don't think it can air.
Can you not make it smoother?
It's impossible.
What on earth is going on with him?
Well, I don't know...
what he's doing,
but...
things I know are impossible to make them sound smoother.
- It's impossible. - Oh, I see.
- Sir, was that too low? - That's...
I have big ears, but I still couldn't hear that well.
Volume up.
- He's not a young man. - That's true.
You know, just a bit.
- I see. - "Just a bit".
- That's right. - There you go.
Hyun Woo, you said Radio Star is harsh.
What does that mean?
- It's my second time to be here. - Yes, you were here before.
I have a bad memory about Radio Star.
- Why? - I performed my magic tricks.
In my performance-on-TV history,
that must be the worst experience.
Gu Ra, why are you pretending you don't know about it?
He tried to dig it out.
- It was embarrassing. - That's because...
- we do that all the time. - I know, but...
- That's what we always do. - But...
there's a fine line.
Four of you were just...
- Oh... - Tae Hyun wasn't here yet.
You guys were aggressive.
(Let's find out about the trick!)
(Hyenas are attacking his amazing trick.)
Goodness. You guys are unbelievable.
There are reactions I expect...
when I perform.
But firstly, Gu Ra doesn't believe anything.
- He doubts. - Yes, that's his nature.
It was really difficult.
He's a stereotypical grumpy middle-aged man,
like people say something like, "It's just a trick!"
Well, actually,
when I was doing "Three Wheels",
Hyun Woo was a semi-regular member of the program.
I did that to make things funnier.
But I'm not going to do anything like that today.
- Don't worry about that. - No, that's not what I'm saying.
- You're not upset, are you? - No, no.
- He's not. - Well, I'll be honest.
I'm just not interested in magic at all.
- He's in a sulk. - He really is.
- I can see that. - The way he's speaking is...
- No, I'm not. - Goodness.
Even when David Copperfield was on TV, I didn't watch it.
I thought it was going to make things fun...
if I act a bit mean to Hyun Woo...
when he's here.
- But today, - He's not going to...
I'm not going to do that today.
Gu Ra will turn to the other way...
when you perform later.
(Gu Ra will turn his body around.)
I'll be noble and just clap.
- I think that's good enough. - No, that's not...
You can tell me about it in the future too. I'll do it.
(His reaction can be customized.)
At the pre-filming interview,
Hyung Woo started talking about North Korea,
even when nobody asked him about it.
There's an episode I was keeping...
- only for Radio Star. - Really?
At the other interview,
I was thinking that I should keep this story for a bigger show.
So there is something.
- So you have a story to tell us. - Well, that's a bit disappointing.
The talk show I was hosting last time,
- I know it's not doing that well. - It might not be big enough.
So what about the stories you told us there?
- What does that mean? - He didn't want to talk there much.
I'm really sorry.
- It wasn't a big show. - Sorry.
That's a program about North Korea.
(It was even a program about North Korea.)
Why didn't you talk more there?
- Calm down. - Oh, right.
- Your tone is too high now. - But...
that program was about North Korea.
We invited him there. He could have talked more there.
But you want to spill that story here.
I thought it was a story to tell somewhere like Radio Star.
- I see, I see. - Gu Ra,
look at Han Moo.
- He thinks it's too loud. - Oh, I see.
- What? - Oh, my...
(He can adjust two different volumes at the same time.)
- He can adjust them at once. - Turn it up and down.
He wants to turn your voice down and turn his voice up.
- Turn it up. - The program I'm hosting is...
about North Korea.
We even have North Korean defectors on the show.
We talk with them there.
- He visited North Korea, - Yes, he did.
but I'm actually from there, Pyongyang.
- I see, sir. - It's the right place to talk more.
- Oh, right. - Goodness.
I heard today's guests were...
curious about a lot of things when they found out...
they were going to be here with Han Moo.
Even shy Mad Clown...
has a question.
You can fart...
whenever you want.
Does that mean your gas is always charged in full?
You want to know if it's charged or naturally generated.
- It's one or the other, I guess. - It's not always charged.
- So it comes out when you want. - I guess it's a quick process.
I move around a bit and make it quickly.
Oh, you can make it moving around in a certain way.
So you can do it anytime you want if you move like that?
It was like that when I was young.
- But since I'm old now... - I see.
it can leak a bit.
- Oh, no... - Oh, right...
- There's a leakage. - I get it.
There's nothing you can do about it. It's Mother Nature.
If there's anyone in the medical world,
- It's a sign of aging. - That's true.
At this program...
- "Curiosity Paradise"? - That's the one.
We did an experiment with a fire alarm.
We wanted to know...
if the alarm will go off with farts.
We gathered everyone good at farting from all over the nation.
- Really? - Goodness.
- I remember that. - The best fart machines!
- From all across the nation? - Yes.
They even gave us...
barley rice and sweet potatoes...
so that we could fart well.
Fire alarms were set right behind our bottoms.
We farted like this.
Then alarms went off like,
(Alarming sound)
That's amazing.
Looking at the camera,
I said,
"Please don't air this part."
"Just edit this out."
But they even included the part I was talking about the editing.
(Will the fire alarm go off?)
(As soon as he released his fart,)
(the bell started ringing.)
(Embarrassed)
Hyung Jun, you have a story about your fart too.
- Oh... - I don't fart often.
I'm not your level, sir.
His face was...
- He was truly amazed then. - He was surprised.
- Can you control it? - Can you?
I wish I could, but mine comes out...
when it shouldn't.
- Oh, that happens. - That's true.
That's how things begin.
What begins?
But when your fart makes...
a lot of noise, I'm sure you know it too.
If it makes a big noise,
- it doesn't smell. - That's true.
When it's the fart you release with your hips lifted up like this,
it makes a certain noise like this. That's a really smelly one.
It's worse than gases from burning coal.
- Is it worse than that? - Goodness.
Of course.
- So what's your story, Hyung Jun? - It was...
when I was taking my son to his preschool.
We live on the 17th floor.
So we had to go down so that he could take the bus.
While we were in the elevator,
my stomach didn't feel good.
It's only us using the elevator at that time of day.
So I farted.
It was only me and my son.
Then an old lady joined us on the seventh floor.
(Goodness)
She got in,
and I could see her face. It looked like she smelled it.
I was embarrassed.
So I started stoking my son's head, and said, "Come on..."
- You... - No way.
- That's not cool. - No...
"Li Ahn, why did you do that?"
But as soon as I finished that sentence,
he said, "Daddy, did you fart?"
(Daddy, did you fart?)
So...
He didn't want to take the blame for such a horrible smell.
That smell couldn't be from a little kid.
That was clearly not a little kid's.
You're now watching Radio Star...
with guests who want to pretend they know nothing about...
farts, becoming single, the other himself, and magic tricks.
"I'll Pretend I Know Nothing Today" is the title of today!
Let's talk about it.
Lately, something happened...
to Hyung Jun.
For the first time in his career,
I mean, he's normally waiting for...
casting calls.
- But on that day, - Did he turn off his phone?
he turned off his phone.
It might be the first time I turned it off to avoid calls.
It was the day...
- I had a read-through for a movie. - Okay.
The only reporter I'm friends with called me that day.
I asked why he called during the read-through.
He asked me if I had a divorce because it was on the news.
I was so surprised to hear that and checked online for articles.
- Reporters who read the article... - Okay.
called me every 10 seconds.
- They do that. - They sent me text messages.
Reporters want to check the story with you personally.
I got text messages from them.
I've never been in debts,
but it felt like I was a fugitive, trying to get away from creditors.
My heart started to beat really fast.
That's why I turned off my phone for two days.
- For two days? - Yes.
I don't think you needed to turn it off for that long though.
- I was just being safe. - There are a lot of scandals.
- Half a day would've sufficed. - No, that's all right.
- About for 1 day. - For 1 day.
- A day would've sufficed. - What's wrong with you?
I got a divorce a year before the article went public.
- We just found out then. - Yes.
I only told my close friends.
I thought about sharing this with the public first...
because it's my personal life.
I didn't want other people narrating my story.
- But on the other hand, - That's a little iffy.
- if I told the people about it, - Right.
people might question why I would share...
- something personal on TV. - I see.
To be honest, I was just looking for the right timing.
I was wondering when I should do it. I knew it was bound to get out.
- You wanted that to look natural. - I see.
The news got out when I was thinking about it.
I don't know if I should call it...
- a blessing. - But the public these days...
- understand our personal lives. - That's right.
And when the news went viral, fortunately, there was...
- the North-South Korean summit. - I see.
- It got pushed out of circulation. - That worked out for you.
That's why I was...
You must be thankful to the recent administration.
- So I was relieved. - How many times were you divorced?
- It's been only... - This is his first time.
- He's not like Jung Hyung Soo. - Han Moo.
- This is his first time. - Han Moo.
- He's not like your friend. - Right.
- It's his first divorce. - Around him,
- people got divorced 2 or 3 times. - I see.
It's fine if it's your first time.
- I'm new to the circle. - Are many of your friends divorced?
Mad Clown, people have been mistaking you...
for Mommy Son who was on "Show Me the Money" recently.
You said you were very upset.
(He made a glorious appearance on "Show Me the Money".)
(His video received 28 million views.)
(The most sought-after man, a mysterious rapper, Mommy Son)
- So let me explain. - Are you that upset?
Although I'm not Mommy Son, people think I am him.
- People come to my social media... - I see.
- and leave comments... - Okay.
for Mommy Son.
- About his appearance on the show? - Yes.
Why do you think people believe that you're Mommy Son?
I'm not sure if he's doing it on purpose...
or he's being really clumsy and leaving clues.
It looks like he sort of leaves behind...
definite clues about him.
- That must be a hard life for him. - That's my guess.
- To make people think he's you? - Yes.
Have you ever thought about suing him?
If you're that upset, you could bring charges to him.
- I don't want to go that far. - I see.
You know that I'm a show where people wear masks.
It's called "King of Mask Singer".
We see who's behind the mask. Wouldn't he reveal himself later?
- He doesn't have to take it off. - He doesn't have to?
- No, he doesn't. - Really?
Don't make it sound like it's him. We don't know who it is.
- Don't do that. - He doesn't have to.
Mommy Son doesn't take it off.
- He can't do that, you know. - It sounds like the Mexican fight.
Just like Nacho Libre, does that guy keep the mask on?
- Mommy Son doesn't take it off. - He keeps it on?
- That's my guess. - It's for the show.
Shouldn't you ambush Mommy Son?
I don't think it's possible.
- Personally... - It won't work?
- Is it that perfect? - It won't work.
He's sort of similar to Daft Punk.
He doesn't want to reveal his identity. Is that it?
What's interesting is...
Isn't he terrible at following the script?
- On "The Mask of Zorro", - Okay.
it's so easy to make a connection who's behind the mask.
- They only hide this part. - Right.
But people don't recognize him.
- Superman only wears glasses too. - It's all like that.
- Usually, that's the case. - Right.
But Mommy Son's security is tight.
- Right. - A lot of people think it's him.
(Obviously, they are two different people.)
- Recently, I watched his videos. - Okay.
You sang Mommy Son's song at gigs.
No, that's not true.
Hyun Woo, you gave me a hard time for trying to debunk your tricks.
- Look at this guy. - Don't be like that.
Aren't you frustrated too?
You sang his songs at gigs?
- His style is similar to mine. - Just for fun?
- I did it as a special skill. - As a special skill.
People liked it,
so I do it often.
- Mommy Son's... - He does it often.
What's your take on Mommy Son's music?
- It's kitschy and cheerful. - Kitschy?
Something about his music shines.
I'm sure you're upset,
but you want him to succeed, right?
My gosh, of course.
It looks like he's working hard. He's a hard worker.
- Right. - He is working hard.
I guess he created an alter ego.
(We don't know how far we should play along.)
He's working hard.
(Okay, this is going as planned.)
It's his alter ego.
All right. Mommy Son who made a glorious debut...
is shooting commercials and has magazine shoots. What do you think?
Don't you think he's taking a lot of jobs?
I don't think you're getting that many offers.
Right. I don't get as many offers as Mommy Son.
To me, starring on Radio Star...
is the biggest gig. You know...
We could've invited Mommy Son,
but we invited you instead.
- Thank you. - We couldn't reach him.
Why not?
Whoever answered the call first got the spot. It was either him or you.
This is regarding Mommy Son's existence.
You say that his style similar to yours.
What does your wife say?
You're married?
- Mommy Son didn't get married. - Wait, aren't you married?
- Yes, I'm married. - Exactly.
- Tell us. - Is Mommy Son single?
- Yes, Mommy Son is single. - What does your wife say?
- Mommy Son... - Isn't Mommy Son single?
- Exactly. - I have so many questions.
People think you're him.
Didn't your wife say anything about that mix-up?
Didn't your wife ask where one of the rubber gloves went?
She washes the dishes with only one hand every day?
(Just like this?)
One of the gloves went missing!
- So... - She pumps the soap like this too.
We still have our rubber gloves.
Actually, I have a lot of rubber gloves right now.
Does your wife know about Mommy Son?
Instead of Mommy Son, these days,
she's interested in other brands.
It means she uses those products.
(For some reason, it feels like she shouldn't use other brands.)
We're not sure how far we should go in pretending to be clueless.
- We'll ask you a few questions. - At last.
Please answer them however you sit fit.
- Han Moo. - It's starting at last.
There's this legendary story.
The story is about you.
The story circulated a lot.
- I heard it in the waiting room. - I bet the story got snowballed.
You were in the public bathtub and farted in the tub.
When you usually fart,
- the bubbles come toward you. - Right.
But when you farted, the bubbles went to...
the person on the other end like a torpedo.
(The legend says he created farting submarines.)
- It went all the way there. - Is that...
There's a story that the bubbles popped in front of another person.
- Tell us if it's true or not. - Bubbles come up in front of you.
Here's the thing.
Let's say that there's this waterfall.
If I want the bubbles to pop in front of someone else,
I have to get the angle right.
- I see. - The waterfall carried the bubbles.
- The water falls from above. - I see.
- He's very scientific. - It's all about science.
Did that person smell it?
Of course. He smelled it.
"Hey, hey."
"Check if the gas is leaking here."
Was there a time that your body floated up...
- when you farted under the water? - His body?
Come on.
That has never happened before.
- That's a magic trick. - Pardon?
That's like flying in the air.
- He's precise. - Right.
- I see. We'll clarify everything. - He never exaggerates stories.
Does your fart really have a melody?
- Right. I'm really curious. - That's very interesting.
Doesn't it mean you can adjust the pitch of your fart?
- It can be high or low-pitched. - Like a melody.
Listen.
I was filming "Laughter Brings Good Luck".
- I sat down in a bathroom stall. - Okay.
I farted.
My fart sounded like a melody.
Someone in the next stall asked if it was me.
"Is that you, Han Moo?"
I asked how he knew it was me.
"Only your fart comes out in a melody."
(His fart is the one and only in the world.)
This is about Lim Hyung Jun. Be honest.
Are you Tak Jae Hoon's follower or Kim Soo Ro's?
People always clump me together with them.
As for Jae Hoon, I met him for the first time while...
- filming "Marrying the Mafia". - The Mafia series.
He's hilarious.
- Yes, he's funny. - To be honest,
I got hooked on him.
- You got hooked. - Yes.
- I got hooked. - Once you're in...
- Jae Hoon captivated you. - I wonder how he could be so funny.
- He's funny. - During that time,
- I had to stay busy. - Okay.
- In a way, - Didn't you get many offers?
- this could've been my heyday. - Okay.
I couldn't stay away from him when he captivated me.
Is he that charming and enticing?
- I should've stayed busy. - Okay.
I was at Jae Hoon's shoot.
- You turned down work for yourself? - Yes.
But he accepted every project. He was on many shows.
Back then, I didn't realize what I was doing.
- A director asked me... - Okay.
if I should be chasing after some celebrity.
A director was blunt with me.
- After hearing that, - You stopped.
- I... Well, yes. - You stopped?
- Staying away... - Actually,
- it's harder than to quit smoking. - is harder than quitting smoking.
I saw him in the afternoon, but never in the evening.
- I only called him during the day. - I see.
It gets serious at night.
After I got married, we sort of parted ways.
And recently, we've been hanging again.
We're only hanging out because...
Gu Ra always calls me and asks...
how Jae Hoon is doing.
I met him a few times for Gu Ra's sake.
- To give him information? - I was curious.
No, no.
- He can be quite addicting. - So I...
I wanted to have some information on him...
in case Gu Ra called me later.
That's why I've been keeping in touch with Jae Hoon.
I ask him what he's up to and build my sources.
When Gu Ra calls, I share my information.
I share that much with him.
(Feeling satisfied)
I would like to say this.
- You know, cliques? - Right.
I thought people mentioned that to be funny.
People think that those cliques mean a lot, especially to me.
They make it sound like those two will take care of my life.
- Like you can't be on your own. - People make it sound like...
they're sort of my guides.
- People said they got me the jobs. - Yes, yes.
I'm sure you probably know that we don't have that much power...
- That's right. - to get someone else a job.
But you always send me a lot of text messages.
I only send you those text messages.
(I won't lose you as my connection.)
But I heard that you turned down an offer for a variety show.
The offer was just for you.
Goodness, I'm not sure if you'll believe me.
I got an offer for "One Night Two Days" when it first started.
- I think you would've done well. - I understand why you'd get it.
- The show aired for the first time. - You should've taken the job.
- The pilot episode aired. - That's right.
Back then, I didn't know Kang Ho Dong that well.
I felt uneasy to be on a reality TV show...
with someone I didn't know that well. That's why...
I turned it down that time.
After I turned it down, Kim C joined the show.
- Kim C. - He joined the show.
- You and he are in the same group. - I could see why.
- Are you clumping me again? - No, no.
- You resemble him. - By the way,
it looks like you can't survive on your own in this industry.
(Feeling bitter)
All right. Mad Clown.
You'll clear up your relationship with Mommy Son today.
Make a statement that you're not Mommy Son.
I'm not Mommy Son. I'm really not.
He's really not Mommy Son.
- That must be hard too. - You made a statement.
- What if they trace his accounts? - He made it official.
- I'm not part of this. - Right.
Sleepy is Mad Clown's close friend. He said on a radio show...
upon Mad Clown's request, he starred in Mommy Son's music video.
That means that you and Mommy Son are related.
I actually don't know why...
he said that on a radio show.
- You mean Sleepy? - Yes.
Then on whose request did Sleepy star in the music video?
I'm not sure.
- Is this completely groundless? - Well...
I'm not sure that...
what he said was based on a fact.
Will this make Sleepy look weird?
Right now, he's... Well, yes. He's weird by nature.
He's weird by nature.
He is?
- Sleepy is weird by nature. - I see.
- Great. - Okay.
- He's doing a great job. - As Mommy Son is getting popular,
he received...
600 pairs of rubber gloves, but you donated those gloves.
- You have to write down your name. - Right.
They sent me those gloves.
I was wondering what I should do with those.
I heard that I could donate the gloves for an organization.
I thought it was great since I already had a lot of gloves.
I donated them.
Now that we're cornering him, he started to sweat now.
If what I'm about say is true, this is as good as...
- proof. It is. - Is this the proof?
If you can weasel your way out of this one...
(In a dither)
If you can't...
If you can't rebut what I'm about to show you,
either reveal yourself or go to the prosecutors' office. Do as pleased.
- Here. - What's this?
The royalties for Mommy Son's "Shonen Jump"...
are paid to Mad Clown.
- Did you write the song for him? - You should be arrested for it.
I'm not sure what happened there.
How could you not know? You should know what happened here.
- That's... - He's acting innocent.
(Looking brazen)
- He's acting all innocent. - Look at this.
If you wanted to keep this act, you shouldn't have registered it.
- Forget it if it's not. - No.
- Don't accept the royalties now. - He's...
- He's acting all clueless. - Listen.
My guess is that the songwriter...
registered it under my name. Or Mommy Son registered it...
under my name on purpose.
I think that's what has happened.
I think this is a trap.
(I don't know anything.)
- Mad Clown is being a gentleman. - Hyun Woo, how is it to watch this?
- It's so frustrating. - Isn't it?
That's exactly how I feel.
You do that while knowing everything.
Here's how I feel. I want to uncover the mask when Mommy Son is singing.
- Here's how magicians often feel. - You want to take it off.
For example, people would ask how a certain trick works.
When they ask about the tricks, most of the times, they're wrong.
But sometimes, some people might get it right.
Even if they get it right,
- I can't tell them. - That's right.
I think this is how he must feel. Pretending to be not when it's him.
I found out that magicians are very sensitive about their tricks.
- Magic tricks have copyrights too. - That's right.
Just like there are songwriters and lyricists,
there are builders and inventors of magic tricks.
Everyone is listed under each trick.
Hyun Woo, people say you do magic tricks to flirt with women.
- What's this about? - That came out of nowhere.
Rumor says it you share the secret of your tricks with a lady you like.
- You still do that? - Come on, this is...
- The word got out to magicians. - Okay.
You know what I heard? Apparently,
he shares secrets with women he knows.
They find it fascinating. My girlfriend...
I mean, for example, before we start going out,
when they ask how I do certain tricks.
there are some lines we, magicians, use.
"I'll tell you when you date me."
- "I'll tell you when you date me." - My gosh.
- Like this. - That pick-up line is so old.
- But I don't say that. - No, you use that too.
- I don't do it, but others do. - Okay.
Goodness, do you hear his excuse?
- What do you mean only others do? - I don't do it.
Did anyone you dated made a debut as a magician?
What are you saying?
- It's after dating for five years. - What are you saying?
That might happen.
- "He taught me a trick a day." - Right. Exactly.
- "Try dating him." - Is there a story about this?
Or did any of your girlfriends...
- became your assistant? - That could happen.
- Many magicians and helpers date. - Right.
- They work together. - That happens a lot in this field.
That usually happens, but personally,
I've never had a fling with the assistant. Not even once.
- I swear. - Okay.
- But... Okay. - Besides,
- my assistants are foreigners. - I see.
They are beautiful ladies from Russia.
Because of the visa issues, a lot of them are married.
If I have a fling with a married woman, it'll be a big scandal.
- It's because of the visa. - I didn't think about that.
Don't they know the tricks?
- They know every trick. - They should know all of them.
- They know everything. - They know everything.
Actually, they do more things in the boxes than the magicians.
- We just do some gestures. - Right.
- They have to do their part inside. - How about this?
- You know those pretty helpers? - Okay.
Has any of their husbands debuted as a magician?
- Those husbands? - Yes.
- That never happened. - Really? I see.
That never happened.
- After getting all the secrets? - Exactly.
- But you know what? - "Honey, you should do it."
- "You do it." - Right.
"Do Hyun Woo's job."
- They know everything. - "You should do it."
- "I'll do it." - "I'll tell you."
Han Moo said that he's the best when it comes to one-man shows.
Why did you start holding your shows?
There wasn't a special reason.
- I'm quite observant. - That's right.
That's why you tell other people's stories nicely.
Once I see something, I don't forget it.
I practice it after watching something.
- Just for our show, - Right.
he prepared an improved version of his one-man show.
- He prepared that for us. - I see.
- Let's see it. - It's about tanks.
- Tanks in the 50s and new tanks... - I see.
- sound different. - Is that so?
- Tanks in the 50s or 60s go... - Okay.
(Imitating its sounds)
(You could hear the tank rails.)
- That's right. - Before ignition during winter.
- It's frustrating. - Right.
These days, modernized tanks sound different.
(Breathing in)
(A new world of voice impressions)
- This is it. - That sounds just like it.
He sounded like an alien.
- The armored unit is impressed. - Right.
- "That's it." - Seriously.
And the trains.
If you get on the KTX nowadays...
(Roaring)
(Studying the room)
- Remember those coal trains? - Yes.
- The one with smoking pipes. - Yes.
- Not that many can do its sounds. - I see.
When the train goes through the tunnel,
- it sounds different. - Okay.
- When the temperature goes up, - It's different.
- it must sound different. - My gosh.
You know what?
You can tell he's quick on his feet.
When he imitated the KTX, we didn't seem impressed.
- He went back to the 50s. - No, no.
- Actually, - He's outstanding.
- I don't remember KTX's sound. - That's right.
- Here's the train. - Okay, the train.
You have to watch my mouth closely...
to see the temperature is going up and down...
- Or it's going through a tunnel. - Okay.
Seoul-Bound Tongil Train departs now.
(Chugging)
(Han Moo's train starts gaining speed little by little.)
(Entering the tunnel)
(Clackety-clack)
(He speeds up as he goes up on an uphill.)
(Clackety-clack)
Don't laugh.
(The train horn)
Gosh, it's hard.
(Bravo!)
Gosh, that was fun.
- You know... - It was a tunnel at the end.
- No, he was going uphill. - That was high.
(A new sound)
- What's that? The tunnel? - Where was that?
It's going downhill.
He said it was going downhill.
(He can even imitate the train going down perfectly.)
- Can you do one for animals? - You don't do animals.
- You don't do any animals. - That actually reminds me.
Sheep and goats cry differently.
- Really? How different are they? - Their cries are different.
Here's the sheep.
(Crying)
This is for the goats.
(Bleating)
(Laughing)
- Are they different? - You brought it up, so I did it.
- You just mentioned that. - Gosh, he's amazing.
- He imitated their real cries. - Right.
- He's amazing indeed. - Right.
We get that you're not Mommy Son, Mad Clown.
But you said you can dance...
his moves as if you created them yourself.
What's your agenda behind this?
You emphasized that you weren't Mommy Son.
- Because he can. - Well, you know...
There isn't a reason that I shouldn't.
- Can you dance for us then? - Can you show us?
- Please go to the front, Mad Clown. - But by the way, is there...
- music? Will I dance without it? - Wait.
(He asks for everything politely.)
If we play the song, we have to pay Mommy Son the royalties.
Then you'll take it again, Mad Clown.
We should break off this vicious cycle.
- That's a great idea. - Right.
- Mad Clown will dance. - 1, 2, 3.
(Muttering)
This is it.
(Why did he choose this as his specialty?)
Perhaps he is dancing that way in purpose.
I can do this as well.
(When he stretches out his arms, he turns into Mommy Son.)
(Dancing)
What kind of gestures do you make on the stage?
- Me? - What does Mad Clown do?
I do this.
I do this as well.
(It looks like he is sowing seeds.)
- You do this. - Yes.
Mommy Son wouldn't do this, right?
I don't know what he does on the stage.
(He pretends not to know.)
(Mad Clown isn't interested in Mommy Son's performances.)
When Hyun Woo had...
a preliminary interview,
he only talked about North Korea.
(He only talked about North Korea.)
You almost didn't go to North Korea...
because you misunderstood a call from the government.
I got a call from an unknown number that started with seven.
I said, "Hello?"
The caller must have been tired.
He said, "This is the Blue House."
I was half asleep, so I asked,
"Coupang?"
There was a three second of silence.
"This is the Blue House."
Out of nowhere,
he said, "Let's go to North Korea."
"We want you to convey a message of peace and unity."
"With a magic trick?"
(He was flustered.)
I had an orientation at the Blue House...
which took about three hours.
It was longer than I expected.
We had to refer to the countries as the North and the South.
as the North and the South.
We couldn't say North Korean and South Korea.
What was interesting was that...
they asked us to beware of wiretapping.
You couldn't talk freely.
When the two countries had a summit in the past,
someone entered his room at Koryo Hotel and said,
"There is no ashtray."
When he came back,
there was an ashtray in the room.
They told us to keep the TV on at all times.
- I was so scared. - It's scary.
- Maybe it was a magic trick. - It's really convenient.
- Right? - Seriously.
"Gosh, I am hungry."
"I want to eat Pyongyang naengmyeon."
Then you would find it in your room.
(It's a new way of using wiretapping.)
It must have made you tired...
because you fell asleep.
It became the talk of the town.
That's right.
He is daring.
That picture turned into a meme.
I had gone several days without sleep.
When I arrived in North Korea,
an art school performed classical music.
I became so drowsy.
Had I had a friend by my side, I would have talked to him.
However, the person who is sitting next to me...
is a North Korean bodyguard.
He kept his face forward without saying a word.
I became so drowsy...
that I dozed off. I didn't know I was on TV.
That picture keeps circulating.
Hyun Woo prepared...
a magic trick that captivated Kim Jong Un...
in North Korea.
Didn't you do this on my program the last time?
No, I didn't.
The scale is too big.
- He didn't do this. - The scale is too big.
That program is about North Korea!
For goodness' sake.
- The scale is too big. - I understand.
You will reveal the magic trick.
I am wearing...
the exact outfit I wore...
in front of Moon Jae In and Kim Jong Un.
- I see. - After my trip to North Korea,
a lot of programs asked me...
to visit and recreate the magic trick.
I thought the program has to be as big as Radio Star.
Today, I will do the same magic trick...
with the same commentary.
It will be a reenactment.
- I see. - It has never been seen before.
- He is milking the trip. - I will reveal it now.
He is milking the trip.
Seriously.
Let's see the magic trick that hails from North Korea.
(Choi Hyun Woo's Pyongyang Magic Show)
There is a reason why...
I am standing between the two MCs.
The two leaders watched you from the front.
No, they watched him from the side.
- From the side? - Yes.
Are we playing Kim Jong Un?
(It was like this.)
- They watched him from the side. - This is the same position.
Hyun Woo always seeks me out.
He wants to be by my side.
You look like Kim Jong Un.
Gu Ra will be...
Kim Jong Un and Tae Hyun will be Ri Sol Ju.
You are Ri Sol Ju.
I see.
- Ri Sol Ju. - Ri Sol Ju.
Gook Jin will be Kim Jung Sook.
- I see. - Kim Jung Sook.
Please show us a nice magic trick.
Jong shin will be Moon Jae In.
- How about the others? - Okay, okay.
(They get their roles.)
Firstly,
I have Rubik's Cubes.
In North Korea, these are called Cube Puzzles.
Now, I will use telepathy.
In North Korea, it's called the communion trick.
- The communion trick. - Now,
I will do the communion trick with those from the North.
Leader Kim Jong Un.
- Did you touch him? - Yes.
I touched him. It was for the magic trick.
When you buy Rubik's cube,
it comes in the perfect stage.
Now, please mix up the colors.
Ms. Kim, please mix up the colors.
You must have been nervous.
- Go slowly. - Okay.
President Moon, please mix up the colors.
- Okay. - Mix up the colors.
Okay.
- This is fun. - This is fun.
That's good.
Ms. Ri, please mix up the colors.
Take this.
I brought another one to help with the explanation.
All right.
It mixed up the colors at random.
- I let my hands guide me. - That's right.
Now, it's time for the last step.
Leader Kim will...
now...
Hold on. Hold on.
You will do the magic trick.
- Me? - You will do the magic trick.
- Me? - Yes.
Pick a number from 5 to 15 and say it out loud.
Please say it.
- 9. - 9.
Most people pick seven.
Really?
It's up to you.
- 9. - 9.
- It's up to you. - Nine.
Now, something unbelievable will occur.
If Leader Kim...
mix the colors at random nine times,
the puzzle will be solved in his hands.
Really?
- That's right. - No way.
It sounds incredible, right? The puzzle will be solved.
Now,
please stand up.
Please stand up.
Now...
You will see something incredible.
- Please stand up. - Did you drop it on purpose?
No, I didn't.
You tried to check, right?
- No, I didn't. - All right.
You will get criticized by magicians.
Now,
hold the cube behind your back.
I will fall back so that you don't doubt me.
Let's count to nine.
Let's count to nine at the same time.
Let's go. Let's begin.
- 1. Louder. - 1.
- 2. - 2.
(Will this work?)
- 5, 6, 7. - 5, 6, 7.
(Gu Ra's eyes show no trust.)
- Nine. - Stop.
Stop right there.
Did you feel magic?
Yes.
(It looks like he is lying.)
He felt it.
He is like a beautiful assistant.
You are holding the cube behind your back, right?
On the count of three,
hold up the cube to the camera...
so that everyone can see.
Get ready.
1, 2, 3. Show us.
(Behind Gu Ra's back,)
(did the cube go back to its original state?)
- What? - Show us.
(It hasn't been solved.)
It hasn't been solved.
- What? - It hasn't been solved.
(The atmosphere turns awkward.)
Give him a big hand.
I brought another cube, right?
I didn't mean that the puzzle will go back...
to how it was when it got sold.
I meant that it will be the same as my rube.
The first side is the same, right?
- Hold on. - The second side. Stay right there.
(Stay right there.)
(Don't come any closer.)
The third side.
(He hurriedly shows the two cubes.)
The 5h side. The 6th side.
All sides are identical.
Thank you.
(What was that?)
Hold on. Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you taking the cubes?
Someone stop him! Someone stop him!
There is more.
- "Someone stop him." - Stay right there.
I will show you how the cube came to be this way.
The cube Gu Ra mixed is in my hand.
Without looking,
I will put the cube back in its original state.
Watch carefully.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(Muttering)
I am ready. Let's go.
Let's go.
(He does it with one hand.)
It's on the screen.
(They can't believe the miraculous way he handles it.)
He is doing it with one hand.
(They get goosebumps.)
He solved it.
(He solved it.)
I solved the Rubik's Cube with one hand.
Thank you.
You can check the cube now.
He gave the cube.
- You got caught. - You can check the cube.
That was incredible.
- That was incredible. - Thank you.
Pull it apart.
Bring a screwdriver.
You are at a summit.
Don't do that.
Don't do that. Give it to me.
Who has the copyright?
An American magician has it.
My goodness.
It's not Hyun Woo's magic trick.
- Let's move on. - He is incredible.
This time, I will show a card trick.
Did people clap at the summit?
- Of course. - They clapped a lot.
I bet people loved it.
That was fascinating.
Han Moo, what did you think?
It was impressive.
Why would you ask something so obvious?
He doesn't disappoint.
This time, the South and the North...
will send a telepathic message.
They will send it to each other.
I have cards in my hands.
As you can see,
the cards are different.
Ms. Ri,
please pick your lucky number...
from 1 to 10.
- 5. - 5? That's good.
It will be the first number to create a miracle.
Now, you will pick a card.
Please pick a card each...
from the top, middle, and bottom.
Please don't glare.
- You are Leader Kim. - Okay.
Please pick a card.
Pick a card from the top.
- Please stop me in the middle. - Stop.
- Which card would you like? - I will take this card.
Okay. That's good. Take a look at your card.
Don't show anyone else.
Take a look at your card only.
Please take a card.
Don't be so suspicious. Please pick a card.
That's good.
Now, take a look at your card and remember what it is.
- I will turn around. - Okay.
All right. Did you remember it?
- Are you done? - Yes.
Let's put the cards back into the pile.
Please put the first card back.
- You remember what it is, right? - Yes.
Tell me when to stop.
- Stop. - Put the card back.
Likewise, put the card back in the middle.
(Likewise, put the card back in the middle.)
You remember your card, right?
All right. You are a truly difficult man.
You are a truly difficult man.
- Didn't I get better? - Yes, you did.
You got a lot better.
Now, I will mix the cards.
Using telepathic messages,
you will find the cards.
President Moon will find...
Leader Kim's card.
Put down the cards like this.
Would you keep going?
There you go.
Make sure we can see them.
Think that...
you are reading Leader Kim's mind.
Here is what's important.
The card you pick will be the key...
to Leader Kim's card.
- Do I pick a card? - Yes.
You can stop whenever you want.
The key card.
- I don't know Leader Kim's card. - That's right.
(How am I supposed to find it?)
(Go ahead and try.)
This one.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
You can put down one more card if you want.
- Really? - Of course. It doesn't matter.
Do you like it? Do you want to keep going?
I think it's the previous one.
Then you can take one card back.
- Can I do that? - Yes.
- Will you pick this card? - Yes.
- You chose six. - Yes.
All right. He chose six.
Now, the sixth card will be Gu Ra's card.
- The sixth card from here? - Yes.
Let's begin.
You chose the key card.
I didn't choose it.
Yes, I insisted on that card.
Let's go. Please begin.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five. Stop.
Please tell us what your card is.
Did you see my card?
No.
- Did you see my card? - He didn't see it.
- Tell us what your card is. - I think the suit was diamonds.
- I can't lie, can I? - No.
Why would you lie?
He is crazy.
- This is a summit. - Can't I lie?
No, you can't.
You can't lie.
Gosh, this is difficult.
Seven...
- of diamonds. - Seven.
- 7 of diamonds. - 7 of diamonds.
What's the sixth card?
In 1, 2, 3.
(Did Gu Ra's sabotage work?)
In 1, 2, 3.
Seven of diamonds.
(It really is the seven of diamonds.)
Seven of diamonds.
We got the seven of diamonds.
Seven of diamonds. That's good.
Now, Gook Jin will hold the cards.
- Me? - Yes. Please hold the cards.
Ms. Kim and Ms. Ri will exchange telepathic messages.
What was your lucky number?
- 5. - 5.
- The 5th card? - The 5th card...
will be your card. It's Ms. Ri's lucky number.
Let's begin.
- One. - Will I find my card?
Two.
Three.
Four. Stop.
The fifth card.
Please tell us what your card is.
Is it 10 of hearts? What was it?
10 of hearts isn't in this pile.
He is more difficult than I am.
- 10 of hearts. - That can't be your card.
10 of black hearts.
There is no suit called black hearts.
10 of spades?
- Spade. - I can't believe these men!
10 of spades?
This program is so difficult.
- 10 of... - I don't play cards.
Spade looks like a tree.
- A tree? - 10 of clubs or 10 of spades.
I think it's 10 of clubs.
Okay.
10 of clubs is right here.
It's not this one.
Then it must be spade.
- Spade. - All right. Let's see it.
This is nerve-wracking.
The cards look similar.
You have to ask him 20 questions...
to get the answer.
All right. 10 of spades.
- You chose number five. - That's right.
Let's go. In 1, 2, 3.
(Will this card be 10 of spades?)
10 of spades!
It's the same card.
I will show you.
Now, the person who is the most suspicious...
will pick a card.
Until now, the participants put down the cards like this.
Let's make this more interesting.
This time,
put down the cards like this.
- You can stop when you want. - Okay.
You can stop when you want.
Everyone in the studio...
should imagine that you are at Mount Paektu.
I told you that I prepared this magic trick for you.
Put down the cards slowly. Let's begin.
- Do I stop when I want? - Yes.
Please stop when you want.
(He picked a card.)
Are you certain?
Yes.
- Are you sure you won't regret it? - Yes.
Okay.
This is...
(This is...)
Jong Shin's card.
That's right.
So that no one can change the card,
I will leave...
only one card on the table since Gu Ra is very distrustful.
I told you that I prepared this magic trick for you.
Now,
imagine you are at Mount Paektu. Only Jong Shin knows his card.
I knew the answer...
when I was at Mount Paektu. Let's look at the video.
Let's look at the video.
I shouldn't reveal what my card is, right?
Hello, I am at Heaven Lake of Mount Paektu.
Is that Mount Paektu?
It's the place you are thinking about.
I brought a card with me.
The card you are thinking about is...
three of hearts.
Is it three of hearts?
- Now, Gu Ra, flip the card. - That's my card!
(Is this really happening?)
Please flip the card.
Will it be three of hearts? Flip it over.
- Flip it over. - Say it loudly.
Come on.
Flip it over.
(There is no way he knew this at Mount Paektu.)
That's the card!
(The answer is three of hearts.)
(Shocked)
(Even Gu Ra becomes impressed by his talent.)
- Let's give him a hand. - Thank you.
Did you film the videos for 45 cards?
No, I didn't!
That's why I didn't show you the card!
I think he filmed the videos for all 45 cards.
I think his assistant...
found the right video and played it.
"Play it!"
- I knew you would doubt me. - We are joking.
This is the last trick.
I will show you...
why unification will take place.
Watch.
These are the cards you used.
They show our dream.
My goodness.
Unification.
It will happen.
As you can see,
the cards make...
the Korean Unification Flag.
(The cards make the Korean peninsula.)
Thank you.
All right.
(The touching moment from the summit is reenacted.)
It looks like...
you invented these tricks.
That's right. I invented these tricks.
- You will get the copyright fee. - What?
- The copyright fee. - A friend of mine gave me an idea.
In the UK, the cards show the island.
There is a different version for each country.
That's not true.
He bought a deck for Korea.
- That's incredible. - Thank you.
That was cool.
That was touching.
- That was fascinating. - That was incredible.
I recreated almost all magic tricks...
I showed in North Korea.
Save for the video I took at Mount Paektu,
the performance was the same.
In North Korea, I was more cautious.
Of course. You have to be careful with your comments.
Since you only took one video at Mount Paektu,
you won't show this trick on another program.
No, I won't.
It was for Radio Star.
- There are magic tricks with doves. - Yes.
Do you use a trained dove? Or do you pick any dove...
on the street on the day of the show?
- That's ridiculous. - On the day of the show?
Is there any particular type you use?
There's a particular breed of dove that's used in magic tricks.
- Really? - It's white dove...
- that's meek. - Doves...
that shrink.
- They don't actually shrink. - I mean, in magic tricks...
Magicians prefer pretty ones...
whose entire body is white.
They adopt that kind of doves from overseas and keep them.
However, I don't do magic tricks with doves.
I prefer working with chickens and ducks.
- Can you work with a chicken too? - What kind magic trick is it?
It's hard to work with a chicken.
Recently, I performed a magic trick with a chicken on another TV show.
I cut off the head of a chicken and a duck...
and switched them.
- While they're alive? - Yes.
I switched their heads, so one of them had...
- a duck's head on a chicken's body. - Right.
The other one had a chicken's head on a duck's body.
- You did it on a TV show? - Yes.
(After separating the heads from the bodies,)
(Hyun Woo casts spells.)
(Then shockingly, the heads are switched.)
- Yes, on a TV show. - You undid it, right?
No. They're still living like that.
- Did you use a phone application? - The magic trick...
People might criticize you on the internet.
They have to live like that since it's a magic trick.
You didn't use a phone application, did you?
No, I didn't. I did it in a studio in front of people.
I'll hold a magic show in Seoul for a month in December.
You can come and see the magic trick. I promise.
That's how it works.
- That's what a magic show is like. - I'm glad you asked him that.
Hyung Jun did Park Jin Young impersonation many times.
- Yes. I did it so many times... - His "Behind You" impression...
- was great. - that I feel apologetic.
- He's really good at it. - It was the best impersonation.
And it's funny too.
He will show us new impersonation.
Could you do "Behind You" impersonation before the new one?
(Now, I)
(Controlling the volume of his voice)
(I will stand behind you)
(Laughing)
- That's it. - Good.
- All right. Next. - He prepared new impersonation.
- Jo Sung Mo impersonation. - Jo Sung Mo.
I think they have similar voices.
(He looks as if he's sick.)
What's that? It makes me feel frustrated.
- Give me one more chance. - I know how he does it.
Just breathe in, and don't breathe out.
I think I can do it too.
It was okay.
(He tries Jo Sung Mo impersonation again.)
(Why is he looking up at the ceiling?)
There are a lot of lights on the ceiling.
(My goodness.)
- You can just hold your breath. - What was that?
I did it well in the interview.
- You did well. - It's similar to Jin Young's voice.
- It was good. - That's the point.
(He tries again while looking at the lights.)
- Can you do it while looking down? - Why is he looking up?
It seems to me that he needs to use...
- nasal sound. - I see.
Can't you look down?
- I can't do it. - Do you have to look up?
Do you personally know Jin Young?
I've never met him before.
Hyung Jun...
will show us a special talent which is a physical stunt.
- Really? - What's this?
He can jump on a shovel 187 times.
- You mean this? - Jumping on a shovel.
I set a new record at a track meet in the military.
- He set a new record. - 187 times.
- Is it even possible? - It's hard to do it that long.
That's right.
(Jumping)
(He won the competition with the record of 187 times.)
It's really hard to do it 187 times.
- But what I'll do here... - Will you do something else?
- What is it? - I can't jump on a shovel here.
- So I'll use a pogo stick. - A pogo stick.
I'm sure you can jump on it all day long.
- But I found it hard to jump on it. - Is it easier to jump on a shovel?
- Yes, a shovel is easier. - I think it'll be done shortly.
- I've tried it too. It's hard. - It's really hard.
- It's really hard. - I liked it when I was a kid.
10-year-old kids like jumping on a pogo stick.
(Jumping)
He knows how to do it.
- Hold on. Gosh. - He's good.
The floor isn't what I expected.
(He keeps his balance well.)
He knows how to do it.
(He even jumps on it without holding the bars.)
He's really good.
Can you imitate Jin Young while doing that?
(He starts right away.)
(He keeps his balance even while imitating Jin Young.)
- Go around the table. - Did something
- Can you go around the table? - He's really good.
(He could travel around the world on a pogo stick.)
Do you have a jump rope?
My goodness.
- Great. - Oh, my.
- That was really good. - You did well.
Your son must be proud of you.
(The idol of children, professional pogo stick performer)
All right. Moo is famous...
as the stingiest celebrity.
He walks while hugging the wall to save money. What does it mean?
As I said before, I have two puppies.
You know the sense light, right?
- It turns on when you pass by. - Sensor light?
That's right. Sensor light.
There are sensor lights...
in the hallway from the door to the bedrooms...
- and between the rooms. - The light keeps turning on.
- The light turns on. - It keeps turning on, right?
Of course.
So you try to avoid it?
Since my puppies go around the house all day long,
the lights keep turning on and off.
So I blocked the way with moving boxes.
When I pass by the sensor lights,
I walk with my back on the wall.
(He walks as close to the wall as possible.)
- Don't the lights turn on? - To reduce his electricity bill.
(You have to save money for a better life.)
Han Moo has his own way to save money.
When he steps out with 20 dollars,
he comes back home with 40 dollars.
- While talking to my friends... - It sounds like a magic trick.
I realized something while doing this show.
I realized that Gu Ra...
- is really good at words. - Really?
- Am I good? Thank you. - I mean it.
He's talented. Gu Ra, give me 10 dollars.
- That's how you do it. - He compliments someone first.
Gu Ra, give him the money.
- You have your wallet here. - Yes.
- Give him the money. - Could he be stingier than me?
Good. Thank you.
- I'll give you 20 dollars later. - I see.
- That's how you do it. - I do it to several people...
and when I get about 50 dollars,
I go home.
(A simple way to save money)
- It's simpler than I thought. - Right.
There are people around you who are as stingy as you are.
They're even stingier than me.
Seol Woon Do.
I heard a story about Woon Do.
I said, "Woon Do, can I use your phone? I'll just make one call."
He used the same model as me.
I said my phone ran out of battery.
He told me to wait and took the battery out of his phone.
(You should pay for the call.)
It was an old phone.
The one with a removable battery.
He is incredibly smart.
(The stingiest man among stingy people)
Hyung Jun is the icon of sorrow.
You cry more easily than before.
- Me? Oh, right. - You feel like crying too easily.
Yes. Since I have aged...
He's talking about aging.
Not long ago, I went to the filming set...
to do makeup.
Someone played music in the makeup truck, which is unusual.
- It was "Goodbye to Romance". - It's Ozzy Osbourne's song.
I used to listen to the song when I was in high school.
- Randy Rhoads. - While listening to the song,
- my eyes got teary. - While doing makeup?
Yes. Tears were about to fall down my face.
I tried to hold back, but I couldn't help but shed tears.
She said, "I'm sorry. Did I poke your eye?"
She thought she made a mistake while putting makeup on me.
- I cry too easily. - Have you cried about Tak Jae Hoon?
No. It's not that serious.
Really? My goodness.
- But... - Since Gu Ra...
- gave Han Moo 10 dollars, - Exactly.
- he laughs a lot at Gu Ra's jokes. - He reacts enthusiastically.
I gave him 10 dollars.
- And that changed his attitude. - I've been watching Moo.
- After he received 10 dollars, - That's right.
- he laughed a lot at Gu Ra's jokes. - Thank you, Moo.
I will never use this money.
That's the best comment. "I will never use this money."
"I'll cherish it forever."
Hyun Woo called the Blue House to ask for permission...
- to tell a story on Radio Star. - Oh, right. Yes, I did.
Right before I performed my magic show, there was tension...
in the air. Kim Hyung Suk suddenly said,
"Since we're all having a good time, I'd like to make a proposal."
"The two first ladies will sing."
- It wasn't planned. - He said it all of the sudden.
Zico, Ailee, and I...
Hyung Suk is daring.
I'm impressed.
I was flustered and worried.
- President Moon... - It wasn't planned.
gave him a signal to stop it since it wasn't planned.
But Hyung Suk saw his signal from a distance...
and said, "He agreed."
- Hyung Suk said that? - Yes.
Hyung Suk misunderstood his signal.
We should've invited Hyung Suk.
I wish we had invited him.
- That's what he said. - Go on.
I heard from Hyung Suk later that he was informed...
before he went on the stage that they had agreed on the idea,
and so it would be okay for him to ask them to sing.
However, the message wasn't delivered well...
because of the urgent situation.
Anyway, Ms. Kim sang.
Everyone gave her a standing ovation, which lightened the mood.
Her singing lightened the mood.
After that, Hyung Suk said, "Thank you, Ms. Kim."
"It's Ms. Ri's turn." But then,
Mr. Kim Jong Un said no.
That's straightforward.
No one would misunderstand that signal.
So Hyung Suk was taken aback. He asked, "Can't she?"
But Mr. Kim said no, and it ruined the mood.
Right then, I was told it was my turn.
"Do you want me to perform right now?"
I walked up to the two leaders and said,
"I'll begin my magic show now." But suddenly,
Ms. Hyon Song Wol...
grabbed a mic in the center of the event hall,
instead of on the stage.
She said, "Since she doesn't want to sing, I'll sing."
"Moranbong Band, play music."
Our meeting
She suddenly started singing.
- Fortunately, it lightened... - It lightened the mood.
- the mood again. However, - It could've been awkward.
what scared me...
I was on standby behind Mr. Kim Jong Un.
While standing there awkwardly, Mr. Kim said,
(What did he say?)
"Gosh. She got drunk again."
(Shuddering)
I was right behind him.
- You got permission, right? - Yes, I did.
- I'm allowed to tell this story. - I like this story.
I started to think it was too long.
- But in the end... - He had to...
tell everything to say this sentence.
You see...
- It's because... - That's funny.
- he already told a few stories... - It's so funny.
about his experience in North Korea on another show I host.
- But he didn't tell this story. - I didn't.
He's unbelievable.
Did you discriminate the TV station or what?
I was standing behind him.
I was so scared.
Wouldn't I have been scared?
- I'm glad he performed there. - Can't you understand?
If people from the Blue House watch this,
they'll say, "We shouldn't let him perform there again."
(He talks too much.)
Why am I so scared...
- while listening to him? - Me too.
- I was scared. - Why would you be scared?
I'm afraid he might disappear.
That won't happen.
- No way. - While listening to him,
- I thought, - Things are different now.
- "Would that be okay?" - Don't worry.
As a matter of fact,
I talked to Leader Kim while performing my magic tricks.
He is not like others.
Leader Kim...
studied in Switzerland.
So he was open-minded to magic tricks.
He didn't have doubts.
When I did a magic trick with a Rubik's cube,
I asked him...
to pick one person.
He picked Vice-Chairman Kim Yong Chol.
I said, "Please shuffle it in front of everyone."
He said, "Don't look."
Leader Kim got angry at him.
"That's not how you enjoy a magic trick."
"You're embarrassing me. Don't be like that."
All the people from South and North Korea united...
and applauded crazily.
He combined the stories together so smoothly.
- That story... - No.
I heard this one on the other show.
The inter-Korean summit...
But I didn't hear the story about Hyon Song Wol.
- It seems to me... - Hyun Woo...
that the Blue House let Hyun Woo tell all the stories...
behind the event.
He's like a storyteller from North Korea.
(He's good.)
Hyung Jun, did you go to North Korea to film your movie?
- What? - I...
- I filmed "A Bold Family" there. - Oh, right.
- It's a comedy movie. - I remember that.
- We went to Mount Kumgang. - "A Bold Family".
We filmed some scenes in Mount Kumgang.
When we were there,
we had to move by car even a short distance.
We weren't allowed to walk on the street.
When the staff members smoked...
after eating, they could only smoke...
in front of the entrance.
They weren't allowed to step out of the building.
After we finished the shooting, we had a wrap-up party...
at a sashimi restaurant.
Our hotel was about 500m away from the restaurant.
However, my stomach was upset that day.
I wanted to go back to the hotel and get some rest.
But the party wasn't over yet.
- He should go to the hotel by car. - My stomach hurt a little.
I couldn't wait for other people. I decided to leave.
It was only 500m away from the hotel.
- "Let's go." - I stepped out.
From a distance,
three soldiers were walking towards me.
- Towards me. - It was an actual situation.
They were walking towards me.
At that moment, I thought, "What should I do?"
All kinds of thoughts came across my mind.
They were so close to me already.
"Should I cross the street?"
"Should I cross the street and walk away?"
But it would make me look like I was trying to avoid them.
"What should I do if they talk to me?"
- I tried to figure something out. - Were you alone?
- Yes, I was alone. I was so scared. - He was alone.
While walking, even before I knew,
I started walking backwards.
What's that?
You wanted it look natural.
(He walked backwards quietly.)
- While walking... - No way.
Did you just make up the story?
- That's what he would do. - It's a true story.
- That's exactly what he would do. - It's a true story.
So I went back into the restaurant.
- Back to the restaurant. - While looking ahead?
You felt embarrassed to turn around, right?
I walked to the side like this.
Mad Clown, did you study in the US?
- Yes. - How long?
- For between 5 and 6 years. - I see.
However, you learned...
how to eat alone in the US.
I spent most of the time alone after I moved to the US.
I had only a few friends.
Actually, I had no friends.
From ninth grade...
to the sophomore year in college,
I ate with my friends less than 10 times.
- Really? - Yes.
You lived a lonely life there.
Back then,
I was distressed for some reasons,
but I didn't think I was lonely.
- You were just stressed out. - Yes.
I think I didn't realize that.
Is that all?
Yes.
- Be nice. - Is that all?
- Is that all? - "Is that all?"
- Is it the end of the story? - I see.
- Gu Ra is the only MC in Korea... - Right.
who says something like this.
- Is that all? - He says, "Is that all?"
- No one else would say that. - He's one of a kind.
He didn't even realize it.
People usually say something like that...
to his friends on a private occasion.
How can an MC say, "Is that all?"
Is that all?
Of course, that's it. I usually eat alone too.
There's no other reasons.
(Thank you.)
Why did you study in the US?
When I was in middle school, I got hooked on dancing.
But my father...
didn't like it.
- So... - That's why he sent you to the US.
He's become a lot more understanding.
But he was very strict back then.
I thought his father didn't like his dance.
That wasn't the case, right?
"Go to the US and learn how to dance."
That wasn't the case.
- Your parents must be rich. - They must be.
They're not so rich,
but we didn't have any financial problems.
- I'm grateful for that. - That's the same thing.
Is that all?
- I see. - So...
My best friend and I practiced dancing every day...
- instead of studying. - I see.
Could you show us your dance?
He'll do the same dance he did before.
You saw how he danced.
- Really? - You saw him dance before.
Is that all?
I thought...
Your senior entertainer just quoted you.
I was so surprised.
Well... Han Moo...
is the only Korean gypsy performer who is alive.
When I was living in Busan as a refugee,
my mother and I went to Jagalchi Market to pick up...
some pieces of cabbage to make soup with it.
I lost my mother while walking around in the market.
While I was crying on the street,
some young man came up to me...
and said he would give me food and shelter if I go with him.
It turned out he was living with gypsy performers.
The kids there were beaten up.
Their faces were swollen and bleeding.
But I never got hit. Not once.
They said I was so good at it.
The gypsy performance?
- How does it go? - Could you please show us?
- There are lines. - I see.
"Here we are."
"It's not Wol Mae's daughter Chun Hyang."
"We're beggars. We're here because we're hungry."
(It sounds like acapella freestyle rap.)
"Please be generous and give us some food."
The audience says, "No food for you!" Then we sing.
Please don't say you have no food for us
Please give us some rice or sweet potato
(The exciting rhythm brings us old memories.)
(Amazed)
It takes about 30 minutes.
(I'll stop here.)
You can call it busking.
- That's right. - People get excited...
as you go on.
- It's the same as busking. - Right.
(Moo was a talented kid.)
Mad Clown...
- recently played in a movie. - He did?
- Which one? - "Sunset in My Hometown".
- "Sunset in My Hometown"? - I see.
The movie was released.
- The director complimented you. - Director Lee Joon Ik.
Yes.
But of course, you did well.
Oh, did you not play a rapper in the movie?
I played a judge of a contest.
What did he compliment about?
He said I did well in the scene where I feel sorry for someone.
And that's it, right?
- Yes. - Right.
(It's a scene where Park Jung Min makes a mistake in the audition.)
(Flawless acting performance)
- Are you passionate about acting? - Acting?
Well, since it's a new field...
Is it that you want to do it,
but you're holding back because of your brother?
- Yes. - Is your brother an actor?
- His brother is an actor. - Yes.
What's his name?
His name is Cho Hyun Chul.
- Cho Hyun Chul? - I've heard his name before.
- Cho Hyun Chul? - Search him on the internet.
(Gu Ra automatically searches him.)
- Cho Hyun Chul? - He appeared in many movies.
He played in "Master".
- The one with a honey jar. - That's him.
- Really? - A honey jar?
He played in many movies.
- People say they look alike. - Oh, that's why.
He looks like Mad Clown.
We don't look alike.
(He speaks firmly.)
Here. Cho Hyun Chul. Is he married?
No, he's not.
Oh, that's a different person.
(A different person with the same name)
He's a blogger.
(Cho Hyun Chul's blog has one more visitor.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
It's been hard to pretend I know nothing.
"The Song That Makes Me Want to Pretend to Know It".
All right.
Hyun Woo will prepared a magic trick...
because he can't sing at all.
- He... - You'll do another magic trick?
Is this for South Korean fans?
I'm really poor at singing.
So I decided to perform an interesting magic trick...
that is done on stage instead of singing.
- Okay. - All right.
- Shall we watch his magic show? - Yes.
- You'll do it on the stage, right? - Yes. A magic trick on stage.
I carried out a survey.
What could be Koreans' favorite magic trick?
It's the magic of stabbing...
and cutting a human body.
Today,
everyone in here will have a chance...
- to stab a person by yourselves. - Really?
Let's begin.
First of all, I'll find someone to replace a pretty female assistant.
Kim Gook Jin. Give him a hand.
He'll be a perfect assistant.
- Please come out. - I can't do things like that.
I wear size extra-small.
- I can't do things like that. - Please come out.
- Please come this way. - I'm sure he'll do well.
- Gook Jin can dodge the sword. - Look ahead.
Most importantly,
we never discussed or planned anything regarding this, right?
- We never did that. - That's right.
First, please go into this box.
Please.
- Me? - Yes.
Only Gook Jin can do that.
- Please look ahead. - It's a magic trick for Gook Jin.
- Now, please sit cross-legged. - In here?
Please sit cross-legged.
I can't even sit in there.
- You will stab me? - Yes.
Look. Gook Jin fits in the box.
- He fits in the box. - I feel at home.
- He fits perfectly. - Am I home now?
- He looks adorable. - I feel at home.
- He looks adorable. - Let me ask him a question first.
- He's so cute. - Exactly.
Is there any special device or space to hide...
in this box?
- No. - There isn't.
- Now, I'm going to show you... - It fits perfectly.
how I'll stab him.
Gook Jin will stay in the box.
You will see him from all angles through a camera.
All right.
(Hyun Woo will demonstrate first.)
I'll stab him like this.
That's how...
What happened?
I told you that you'll be the ones who stab him.
- Push the sword. - Gook Jin can dodge it.
Push it all the way through to the end.
- I want to get out now. - I'll pull the sword out.
I think everything is ready.
- So Gook Jin does all the work. - I'll close the box.
Gook Jin knows the trick, right?
Now... I told you that I won't stab him. You guys...
will stab him.
- Please come up on stage. - Really? All of us?
Let's begin.
I'll show you how to stab him one more time.
Push the sword all the way through the box...
with the feeling of stabbing a person.
Push it all the way through to the end.
- Let's begin. - Isn't it too small?
- Please come. - In the same direction?
- Please stand in line. - Okay.
- Please stand in line. - I came up on this side.
I'll show you how to do it.
Push it slowly.
You feel it, right?
Thrust it straight all the way through the box slowly.
You can leave the stage. Next.
- There are so many swords. - You can just do the same.
- Thrust anywhere I want? - Yes. Anywhere you want.
All the way through.
You feel something squashy, right?
Thrust the sword straight.
- Okay. Good. - Can I thrust it anywhere?
- Anywhere you want. - Anywhere I want?
Think of Gook Jin and thrust it anywhere you want.
Where he can never dodge my sword.
Good. Anywhere you want. How about his heart?
His heart should be right here.
Anywhere you want.
Keep going. All the way through.
That's good.
Thrust the sword slowly like everyone else did.
Leave no space to hide.
I got it.
- How mean. He's like your family. - Right there.
- I'll thrust here. - Okay.
(He thrusts it horizontally.)
All the way through. You'll feel something squashy.
(Thrusting and pulling back)
Keep going. All the way through.
Good job. Next.
- All right, everyone. - I felt something.
- He felt something. - I felt something.
Where should I thrust?
- I felt it too. - Anywhere you want.
Bottom on the right side.
Enjoy the feeling in your hand.
- You can't put it in diagonally. - The feeling in your hand.
Feel it.
Thrust anywhere you want slowly.
- Keep going. - Is Gook Jin here?
Don't worry. Just keep thrusting it.
Why isn't it going in?
You feel something strange, right?
Keep thrusting.
Why would a good man stab a person?
The last one. Gu Ra will finish the performance.
I think the sword goes in and out in different angles...
- Hurry up. Let's go. - Hurry.
Gook Jin told us to hurry.
Here I go. I'll thrust in the middle.
- Watch me. - All the way through.
It's going in.
- Here... - I'll show you around the box.
I can feel something squishy here.
All right.
Now, I'll use the rest of the swords...
to prove that there's no space left.
Watch me. Here I go.
- Gosh. - Stop.
- Here I go. Let's go. - He said, stop.
- He said, stop. - Now,
I'll show you all sides of the box.
You'll see there's nothing unusual about the box.
There's nothing unusual about it, right?
Please step back. I'll remove the swords.
Could Gook Jin...
What's going on?
(Could Gook Jin survive?)
survive?
Everyone, watch closely.
If you cheer, he'll come out.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3. Go!
(Gook Jin is resurrected.)
We can ask Gook Jin.
(What's the trick?)
- Did you keep moving in the box? - Please come down.
(Gu Ra is obsessed to the end.)
He's incredible.
Let's give him a hand.
Thank you.
You dodged the swords, right?
(You dodged the swords, right?)
I dodged all the swords.
(He's curious.)
- Thank you for your magic show. - Thank you.
(It was hard to believe.)
Shall we hear the song that Mad Clown chose?
This isn't a rap song. He'll sing.
("Speed Up, Losers" by Crying Nut, a song to encourage young people)
Why did you choose this song?
I'm not good at singing.
I'm almost tone deaf.
But whenever I go to a karaoke,
- I sing it as my last song. - I see.
Shall we hear Mad Clown singing "Speed Up, Losers"?
("Speed Up, Losers" sung by Mad Clown)
(He chose an exciting song unlike his quiet personality.)
(He gathers up his energy.)
(Shut it)
(Exclaiming)
(The truth of Mommy Son ended up remaining a mystery.)
(He looks as if he knows nothing.)
(The truth won't be revealed soon.)
(But he looks like Mommy Son.)
(He dances like Mommy Son.)
(Shut it)
(Enough with computer graphics too.)
(Mad Clown raises his voice little by little.)
(Let's go.)
(Let's speed up)
(As if he's riding a horse in the fiery pit,)
(he starts singing his heart out.)
(He becomes so energetic one minute before the song ends.)
He's a great songwriter.
(Forget Mommy Son. He shows an unexpected side to him.)
Thank you.
(Mad Clown finished his performance just as he planned.)
He's peculiar.
When he was halfway through the song,
Han Moo asked me if he's really popular.
(Han Moo asked if Mad Clown is really popular.)
(He really is popular.)
- He's popular. - Really?
- That was great. - Thank you.
I can see why...
- he's called Mad Clown. - Today's theme...
was "I'll Pretend I Know Nothing Today".
Even though Han Moo smell like fart,
even though Hyung Jun looks sad,
even though Mad Clown looks like Mommy Son,
even if we want to know the secrets to Hyun Woo's magic tricks,
let's pretend we know nothing.
That's a promise.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
