(This program is a documentary that captures the journey of...)
(two renowned show hosts, who were once beloved by the entire nation,)
(looking for someone to feed them dinner.)
(It's a day in March with the sky so blue.)
It's a clear and sunny day...
like these fashionable people.
The weather changed in just a week.
We were freezing a few weeks ago.
It was freezing and raining.
We had padded jackets on.
(The days were so gloomy that they could've used an exorcist.)
- That was less than a month ago. - Exactly.
- It's definitely spring now. - It is.
It's amazing.
(They visited this place on this clear spring day.)
DDP stands for...
Dongdaemun Design Plaza. That's DDP.
Many designers had offices here and stuff.
It's always been the neighborhood for that. Right out front and stuff.
They sell clothes here.
(DDP is in the middle of this neighborhood.)
- Look at this place. - Design.
It's a city of fashionable people.
People who love fashion...
gathers around here.
- That must be our guest. - No.
(Why do they hear music in a corner of DDP?)
(What is this?)
They're coming down.
Who are they?
(Suggestion from Dining Together)
(Their catwalk captured people around the world.)
(Aren't they amazing?)
They are the two true fashionable people.
(The true fashionable two)
What's up, fashionable people?
I don't know them.
- What? - I don't know them.
(Posing perfectly)
Of course, you do.
You have to know them.
These are today's guests.
It's you, Jun Hyun Moo's...
She's Hyun Moo's...
With her oriental face and a stunning figure,
she became a top model who captured the world.
Then she got into music, variety shows, and movies.
Now she returned as a working mom.
Jang Yoon Ju.
He's got that swag on the catwalk...
with a height of 189cm and a perfect body.
He's the hottest teenager right now,
who was voted as one of the top 30 most influential teens by "Time".
He's a world-class top model,
Han Hyun Min.
Jun Hyun Moo?
(There's no reason to be confused.)
- I mean... - That's random.
- One second. - Hey.
No, I thought she was...
Han Hye Jin from afar.
Excuse me, old man.
(Hey, old man!)
I refuse to be a team with him.
You've worked with her before.
- No, it's our first time. - It's our first time.
Let's wrap this up and move onto him.
It's from smoke to smother.
- Exactly. - Hi.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
You do know who he is, right?
You work in Korea.
(Well, this isn't the US anyway.)
(Chuckling)
- What's his nationality? - The US?
I was born in Itaewon.
(He's completely off.)
It's been about 18 years since I've lived in Korea.
- Where were you born? - In Korea.
In Itaewon.
(He just said he was born there.)
He said he was born there.
Wait, if it's been 18 years, are you 18 years old?
- He's 19 in Korea. - I was born in 2001.
I'm a second year in high school.
You're in high school?
Yes, a high school.
He's the youngest guest ever.
He is the youngest guest,
but he's a world-renowned model...
the world has never seen for a hundred years,
and that won't be seen again...
for another century.
- Look, it's a perfect runway. - Yes, it is.
- Then... - Let's do catwalk per period.
Show us what catwalking is.
What catwalking is?
What will you show us first?
First of all, this is the catwalk...
- of the 90s, when I debuted. - Catwalk from the 90s.
Models were very glamorous back in the 90s.
- Okay. - They were voluptuous.
Okay.
And they used a lot of hips.
A lot of moving.
(The three male spectators)
(Using hips with confidence)
In the 2000s, you needed to be edgy.
- Edgy. - And that just means...
- you have power. - Okay.
- Chicness. - Right, chicness.
- I'm chic. - Okay.
I walk down the catwalk as much as you pay me.
- If you don't pay me, - You won't.
- I won't do a pose. Like you. - Right.
(That's my style.)
- Yes. - Back then...
"I need money to do this! Pay me!"
See? She's really good.
She's got that.
That looks confident and chic.
And this is the era of style.
- Style? - Personality.
It's like, "I'm going to do a catwalk..."
"with my own style, without learning how to."
- Okay. - Sounds great.
- Why? Because it's my style. - Okay.
- That's my swag. - Okay, swag.
Then I'll have to do one.
(Keep the shootings short.)
(The early-leave swag)
(He tries to kick with his short legs.)
How can that be okay on a runway?
Does this work too, then?
(The wild boar swag)
(He's a hungry boar who wants to eat cameras.)
This is funny.
You walk however you want.
(Watch. This is a catwalk.)
(Everywhere I walk turns into a runway.)
Go get it!
(Looking indifferent)
(Walking in his style)
(Astonished)
- All right! - Yes.
(He's the new star of the model industry.)
Hyun Min, go get that.
- Yes, you can get it. - Hyun Min is so nice.
Hyun Min.
(She's old fashioned, turning the card over.)
"Have dinner in..."
- "Doseon-dong, Wangsimni." - Let's have dinner!
That's old-fashioned.
The old-fashioned people and young people have joined...
in Doseon-dong, Wangsimni, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.
Wangsimni is the center of Northeastern Seoul...
and the transportation hub of the north of Han River.
It's near two business districts,
Gangnam-gu and Jongno-gu.
It's also a place where people come in...
from the capital area into the city of Seoul.
Also, the epitome of new town of Seoul,
Wangsimni New Town began to accept new residents...
starting in 2014.
This neighborhood turned into a residential complex in city...
where they can live, do business, and work at the same time,
opening doors for a new era.
Will they be able to have dinner...
in Wangsimni, a neighborhood of changes?
Dining Together, episode 76.
Wangsimni Runway.
(Episode 76, Wangsimni Runway, Doseon-dong, Wangsimni)
- Gyeong Gyu. - What?
It's not just Wangsimni.
It's Doseon-dong, Wangsimni.
- Where's Doseon-dong? - Isn't it just Wangsimni?
It's Doseon-dong within Wangsimni.
(The neighborhood was renamed as Doseon-dong, Wangsimni.)
"Simni" means 10ri, right?
It's just 10ri away from the palace, where the king, "wang" lives.
That's why it's Wangsimni.
Priest Muhak was ordered by King Taejo Yi Seong Gye...
to find a new capital city for his new country.
He was around Wangsimni area to see what the feng shui is like.
That's when Priest Doseon came and gave him a word of wisdom,
suggesting that he walks just 10ri more.
Priest Muhak walked 10ri...
and decided Hanyang as their new capital city,
and gave Wangsimni its name.
(That's how "Wangsimni" was named.)
This is the neighborhood...
that's been changing the most.
Wangsimni, I mean.
- It's very fresh. - Yes.
I look forward to this.
Hyun Min, do you live alone?
I live with my family.
- In Itaewon? - Yes, in Itaewon.
What do you usually eat at home?
- My dad loves kimchi stew. - Really?
- So we have that often. - I see.
Do you speak English well?
English? I'm learning.
He said he can't speak English.
Yes, a lot of kids can't.
That one.
Get this.
(Hyun Min is the oldest of five siblings.)
I need a mirror.
We'll take that.
(Hyun Min's dad)
Did you guys say thank you to your brother?
- Thank you. - Thanks.
Did you understand that?
She understood him too.
Everybody say thank you to your brother.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(His oldest son can't understand him.)
(He's shocked at how kids these days learn English very early.)
His dad uses English,
- but Hyun Min can't speak English. - Yes.
So he needs his mom to talk to his dad.
Really?
I can only talk to Dad when my mom is around.
Really? Your dad?
That's what all moms do.
She's everyone's interpreter.
Then...
how often do you eat dinner with your family in a week?
Pretty often, actually.
About 4 to 5 times.
I enjoy spending time with my family.
It's our best days now.
My daughter is still a baby.
- How old is she? - She's 14 months old.
- 14 months? - Yes.
Hyun Min, how often do you eat dinner with your mom in a week?
I haven't been able to sit down and eat with Mom.
- What? - I haven't eaten at home for long.
- Why? - When I work, I come home late,
- and I fall asleep right away. - I see.
So when I miss homemade food, I go out to home cooking places.
There are places called like "Aunt's Home Cooking".
I eat there often.
- Home-cooked meals. - Home-cooked meals.
There's the bus.
(The bus to a residential area came.)
Hello.
Gosh, hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
(Amazed)
(Surprised)
- Where are you going? - To a class.
- For what? - Piano.
- Wow. - Hey.
- It's in Wangsimni. - Wangsimni?
- That's where we're going. - We're going there.
Mi, re, mi, re, mi, ti, re, do, la.
(Shocking)
- A music major? - Are you a student?
- I don't attend a university. - Really?
- You have a Gyeongsang dialect. - Yes, I'm from Daegu.
- Daegu? - Yes.
(He moved from Daegu.)
- Do you know who he is? - Yes.
- Who? - Han Hyun Min, a model.
- Where did you see him? - I saw him on TV.
I'm really interested in fashion,
so I looked him up.
He looks like he's really interested.
Look at his style.
You've got the hairstyle too.
- And glasses. - I like your earrings too.
Why did you dye your hair?
I wanted to try this after I turned 20.
Gosh, I want to be 20 too.
- Right. - Do you want to be a musician?
- Yes, I want to write songs. - A songwriter?
- Do you write songs? - Yes.
You should do a search for Yoon Ju's name.
She's great with fashion,
- but she also does music. - Right.
- Did you know that I do music? - Yes.
Do you know any of my songs?
Gosh.
I knew you that you made music.
- It's "Sa Li". - What?
"Sa Li".
- Sa? - It's "Sa Li".
- That's her song. - "Sa Li"?
It's not "Sa Li". It's "Li Sa".
- It's "Li Sa". - What's "Sa Li"?
(He changed Yoon Ju's daughter's name.)
He doesn't know anything.
- What's with his confidence? - He just throws it out.
(Extremely embarrassed)
Today's journey won't be easy.
- Yes. - Right?
Let's get off. We're here.
This is Wangsimni.
(They are in a residential area of Doseon-dong.)
- Man, it's spring. - It is.
The four fashionable people walk down Wangsimni...
in a beautiful spring weather.
Hey, look.
(Gyeong Gyu found something.)
I think that's Kim Jeong Ho.
- And his Daedongyeojido. - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
It's his statue.
It's called Wangsimni Travelers Street.
That map, Daedongyeojido is...
a symbol of traveling.
That's why they have erected Kim Jeong Ho's statue here.
- Is that why? - I see.
(Wangsimni Travelers Street commemorates Kim Jeong Ho.)
- It's great. - It's a symbol for the street.
Wangsimni has been a place where many merchants came to...
because of its proximity to the palace since Joseon Dynasty.
Thanks to an affordable housing and easy transportation,
it's become a town of lodging facilities...
since the 1970s.
(Many lodging facilities were established in the 1970s.)
They recently established Wangsimni Travelers Street...
to meet the need of increasing tourists.
(Wangsimni Travelers Street)
The neighborhood is changing into a new town...
that has a theme and culture of transportation and travel.
They will take the energy from Kim Jeong Ho.
I hope the journey today for you four will be successful.
I'm not that feminine.
- Do I look feminine? - Ho Dong!
- You're from Osan High School. - Osan High School!
- I went to Osan Middle School. - It's thanks to "Men on a Mission".
- Bye. - Bye.
(Hyun Min is excited to see someone his age.)
- Teenagers are very confident. - Kids are like that.
(Screaming for Hyun Min)
(Hey, guys.)
(He shows off his popularity.)
Don't you go abroad often?
I go abroad when I have shootings and whatnot.
You must go often.
(He's been going abroad often like a star that he is.)
Right after I debuted up until my mid-20s,
I traveled abroad twice a month...
in an average.
Yes, you went abroad often.
I was continuously busy.
Is there a fashion show that you struggled a lot...
or that you remember the most?
I remember the very first fashion show where I made a debut...
the most.
- The very first show. - Where was it?
It was held in Seoul.
- Seoul? - Yes.
It was a Seoul collection.
- A Seoul collection. - Yes.
I struggle a lot until I made a debut...
because I'm not tall enough...
and I didn't have the characteristics they wanted then.
Others had been trained for 6 months to 1 year, but I had been trained...
- for two 2 and a half. - 2 years and a half.
I was often told that I didn't stand any chance.
Even so, you went through a lot...
and became one of the top models of the world.
I heard that you had to take some weird pictures,
which brought you good luck later. Tell us about that.
I auditioned to become a fashion model.
They said that they'd take profile pictures of me...
and send me abroad if I pay 300 dollars for the photos.
There were five male models including me there...
and we had to share one underpants to get the pictures taken.
So I felt something was a little wrong.
I later found out they took pictures of hundreds of people...
and they kept those pictures.
I only had the pictures left and didn't have a chance to audition.
So I was very disappointed.
I uploaded the pictures except the one...
where I was in my underpants on my social media,
and the president of my current agency saw them and contacted me.
- It was kind of... - Right.
- an absurd incident, - But it rather brought good luck.
- It rather brought good luck later. - It did.
Here is a real estate agency.
Let's get in.
Hello. We're from Dining Together.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Sir. - Please introduce Wangsimni.
You want to hear about things I want to brag about, right?
- Yes. - Okay.
- Transportation is convenient. - Exactly.
There are many subway lines, right?
- Yes. - There are a lot.
Wangsimni Station is one station away.
- You can use four lines there. - Right.
There are just a few subway stations where you can use...
- four lines. - There are only a few.
- You're right. - Secondly,
now the apartment complex in Wangsimni New Town is finished.
Wangsimni was considered a shabby town, but it's thought...
- to be luxurious now. - I see.
- It's being transformed? - Exactly.
- It is changing. - Right.
- Many people move here... - Who moves here?
when their children go to college.
There are Hanyang University,
- and Korea University near here, - Right.
and if you go farther, there is Sungshin University too.
- There are many universities. - Yes.
Some people come here because it's convenient to commute.
- It is easy to access almost all... - Right.
- the parts of Seoul... - In every direction.
- from here. - Exactly.
How many households live in the New Town?
There are more than 5,700 households there.
- There are a lot. - There are almost 6,000 households.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you for your information. - Sure.
Wangsimni New Town starts from here.
- Right. - This is the main entrance.
I think we should try this area.
It has changed a lot.
As soon as they get out of the real estate agency,
Wangsimni New Town revealed its splendor.
(Wangsimni New Town revealed its splendor.)
The neighborhood has changed drastically.
(The neighborhood has changed drastically.)
It became a giant new town filled with apartments,
so it's hard to know what it used to be.
Residents moved into the large-scale town...
that is 600m long in order.
The residential complex can be considered a city itself...
where they can live, do business, and work.
(The residential complex is a city itself.)
There are even convenience stores.
There is everything you need in the complex.
- In here? - Everything.
- Is there a bathhouse too? - Yes, there is.
That's nice.
Commercial, welfare, and cultural facilities...
- are all in here. - They are.
You don't have to go out of this area.
Great.
(A big hospital in the complex)
There is even a church in the complex.
- There is. - It's quite big.
That is a church.
Of course there is a church.
- There is a school too. - This is nice.
There really is a school.
There is everything including schools.
There is a big supermarket over there.
- You don't need to go out at all. - There is everything you need.
It means you can just stay in this complex.
- You don't need to go out at all. - This town is a city itself.
- It's like a city itself. - It really is a new town.
Once you get addicted to the convenient facilities like these,
- you wouldn't leave this place. - You wouldn't.
Ho Dong. Look at the place over there.
- That is not developed yet. - Not yet.
- They are old apartments. - Right.
This area where the New Town is looks so different.
- That needs to be developed too. - Right.
They look really different.
(Amazed)
- Amazing. - There are almost 6,000 households.
- 6,000 households. - It would be easy to find only 2...
to feed us among the 6,000 households.
Don't you think so? We'll succeed 100 percent.
I'm getting gradually hungry.
I'm hungry.
What do you want to eat?
- I want to eat meat. - Meat.
- I want meat. - Pork, beef, or chicken?
- I'd like beef. - Beef.
- What about you, Hyun Min? - I want bean paste stew.
- He said he wanted bean paste stew. - Do you want bean paste stew?
- I see. - I want bean paste stew with chili.
- Okay. - With chili?
- Yes. - Bean paste stew.
It is important how to decide the teams.
I want you two get closer.
- I hope you will. - We got closer now.
- We got closer already. - Yes.
- You were awkward at first. - He was nice when he stared at me.
(Laughing)
- You were not? - No. I mean you're right.
Aren't I right?
I think we'll make a great team today.
- Let's go! - Oh, my goodness.
Hyun Min.
Then name your team as Team Lee and Jang.
- Okay. Let's go. - Okay.
We'll name ours as Team Kang and Han.
Team Kang and Han versus Team Lee and Jang.
I'll try my best for Yoon Ju,
not for myself.
Here is a drama without scripts...
in Wangsimni.
- Dining Together. - Dining Together.
It's time to walk with the models to have dinner.
(In Doseon-dong, Wangsimni, at 6pm.)
There must be some people who'd give us food in this big complex.
There are 7,000 households.
- 6,000 households. - Right. 6,000 households.
We cannot fail to have dinner today.
- Let's go, Gyeong Gyu. - Shall we try to ring the bell?
Am I supposed to press any numbers at the entrance?
- Right. - We have to do it well here.
(They approach the doorbell nervously.)
Please come here.
Which unit should they try?
- I'll press a number. - Okay.
Show your face.
You're doing well.
(She looks excited from the start.)
- Maybe no one is at home. - Don't be nervous.
- Speak slowly. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hi. I'm model Jang Yoon Ju. - I think she knows her.
Oh, hello.
- Nice to meet you. - I guess she knows her.
Do you know who I am?
Yes, I do.
Thank you. Have you had dinner yet?
No, not yet.
- I see. - Not yet.
- Please ask her... - Do you know about...
- The show... - Dining Together?
Yes.
You watch it often, don't you?
(You watch it often, don't you?)
Okay, I see.
(Team Dining Together gets embarrassed.)
- We get embarrassed. - That is okay.
Then could you treat us...
to a warm and nice meal?
Well, my house is a mess now.
My place is a mess too.
(Bursting into laughter)
You must have kids.
- It is such a mess. I'm sorry. - Okay.
- I see. - All right.
Thank you. I hope you'll raise your kids happily.
So this is the way it goes.
It was quite close,
but it slightly sounded like a failure from the start.
Yoon Ju, you're very good at doing shows,
- but I think she made a mistake. - What?
When you asked her if she could treat us to dinner,
- Did she feel pressured? - she might have felt pressured.
- Treat? - It should be casual,
- but she may have thought... - Then what should I say?
- "Could you have dinner with us?" - "Could you have dinner with us?"
- Dining together means... - I see.
You totally ruined this opportunity.
(You totally ruined this opportunity.)
You should be careful with your words.
I'll try to be careful next time.
- Okay. - All right.
- It's your turn now - Hyun Min.
- What if he succeeds right away? - I'm scared.
He won't.
- 0, 7... - He won't succeed yet.
Show your face.
Relax.
What should I do to look nice?
You can't see your face, can you?
You'll look fine.
(He found the angle that makes him look good,)
(but nobody answers the bell.)
- There is no one. - No one's at home.
- Try again, Yoon Ju. - Okay. Let me try again.
- Which unit? - Keep trying the fifth floor.
They probably heard about us.
(I'd better not make a mistake this time.)
- Who is it? - Hello.
- Who is it? - Hi. I'm model Jang Yoon Ju.
- Oh, good evening. - Good evening.
I know what this is about,
but I'm alone with a baby.
- Gosh. - I see.
His mom is not home yet.
She's not home yet.
- She must be his grandma. - Yes.
His mom will come home soon, right?
After 7pm.
- Okay, I see. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Goodness. - We'll try Unit eight.
- Unit eight? - Hyun Min.
I can do it.
(Will anyone answer the bell this time?)
Shall we try the top floor?
(Spreading his legs to let them see him better)
You don't need to feel nervous.
(Parched lips)
What would teenagers call Dining Together?
It is hard to think.
(Pondering)
"Chowing Down Together"?
Well... I don't think it is.
- Chowing down? - What?
(The two didn't understand him.)
Teenagers use their own unique languages.
So I asked him what they would call Dining Together,
and he said "Chowing Down Together".
"Chowing Down Together".
Let's move.
What's wrong with you?
How come I keep ringing the bells of empty houses only?
It looks like they'll fail to chow down together.
It is unbelievable that there are so many empty houses.
Press Unit one.
(Yoon Ju tries again.)
(Will she be able to succeed now?)
(Please)
Where are we now?
In Wangsimni.
Goodness, Gyeong Gyu.
- I can't believe you. - Well...
There are so many empty houses.
It has never been like this before.
(It's unlucky Hyun Min's turn.)
He hasn't talked to anyone yet.
Now, I can memorize this tune.
This music that keeps playing...
in Doseon-dong, Wangsimni by unlucky Hyun Min is...
actually "Pictures at an Exhibition"...
by Mussorgsky, a genius musician from Russia.
How many time do they have to hear that to go into a house?
What is wrong?
(The music just keeps playing numerous times.)
It has never happened before.
- It hasn't? - I think no one lives here.
- I think people didn't move in yet. - I guess so too.
- They didn't... - I think they didn't move in.
I believe that's the only reason.
As no one answers, the four gets more and more anxious.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're so pretty.
Have you eaten?
No. Let's have dinner with us.
Really? Gyeong Gyu.
She invited us.
- We can't do it like that. - We can't?
- My goodness. - Gosh.
- Hello. - We're of the same age.
- It's Han Hyun Min. - In which unit do you live?
- We don't live in this complex. - You don't?
- Have you eaten? - No.
- Not yet. - We're going to eat now.
I'll come back after 8pm.
- Bye. - Bye.
There are so many people like this on the street,
but why are all the apartments empty?
- Gyeong Gyu... - Okay.
(Hyun Min tries again.)
I guess there is nobody in this building.
It is over there.
(So disappointed)
Why?
- No one ever answers it. - What's wrong with you?
Maybe everyone hates me.
There is not even anyone to hate you.
(No response is scarier than rejection.)
This is frustrating.
- The light is on in Unit eight. - Let's try...
There was nobody in Unit seven.
(The great music keeps playing again.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Introduce yourself. - Hi. I'm model Jang Yoon Ju.
- Take it easy. - Do you know who I am?
- Of course she does. - Yes.
- Nice to meet you. - She is doing very well.
Nice to meet you too.
- What were you doing now? - There you go.
I was washing the dishes.
- Washing the dishes? - Washing the dishes to have dinner.
Have you eaten yet?
- I bet she hasn't. - I'm about to.
(No. I'm about to.)
Why do you wash the dishes before you eat?
It looks like they'll succeed.
To feed my children.
Ask her how old they are.
- Do you have kids? - How old?
- Yes. - How many kids do you have?
- I have 3 kids. - 3?
How old are they?
- One is a 3rd grader, - A 3rd grader.
another is 6 years old, and the other is 27 months old.
- I see. - They must be adorable.
- If you don't mind, - Great.
could you have dinner with us?
Well...
(Acting cute)
Is this Dinging Together?
- Yes! - Yes! Hello, I'm Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- Now... - Well... I'm sorry.
Since we don't have anything to eat, we're going to order jjajangmyeon.
- Gosh. - It's okay.
We could eat it together.
Would you like to eat jjajangmyeon with us?
They got this chance after a long wait.
Will they be able to eat jjajangmyeon or not?
Would you like to eat jjajangmyeon with us?
My house is so messy.
Shall we clean it up with you?
I feel too embarrassed to be on TV.
- Then it won't do. - I think she feels pressured.
I see. I got it, ma'am.
- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.
- Have a nice evening. - Thank you.
- Jjajangmyeon sounds so good. - It would be great.
- Let's try this unit. - My blood sugar level is dropping.
Yoon Ju, you're doing a good job.
- Am I? - We'll succeed for sure.
(He tries to cheer up Yoon Ju.)
He won't succeed.
No one is answering again?
(Please... Not again.)
(Sheesh. He won't make it.)
(Sighing)
You didn't have a chance to talk to someone at all, right?
- Hello. - Take it easy.
Hello.
I'm suffering from shingles now. I'm sorry.
I don't feel well because I have shingles.
- I see. Please get well... - I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
He hasn't had a conversation yet.
He said he has shingles.
- What is shingles? - It's a disease...
that causes you to have blisters on your body if you get too tired.
- Shingles... - He must be suffering a lot.
- Go ahead, ma'am. - Go ahead.
It has never been like this before.
(The shingles blocked the conversation from the start.)
Hyun Min didn't even start to talk, but the man said he had shingles.
I think no one is at home.
(Whenever they ring the bell, no one answers.)
Get ready.
Hyun Min has never had...
a chance to talk to people.
Someone said no because of shingles even before he started to talk.
He didn't even have a chance to introduce himself.
Let's try Unit four.
(They brace themselves and keep ringing the bells...)
No one answers.
(but the castle of Wangsimni won't open up.)
(Now, Hyun Min doesn't expect a lot either.)
- 104... - Who is it?
Hello.
Someone answered it.
Hello.
- He sounds like a student. - I'm Han Hyun Min, a model.
Okay.
- Do you know who I am? - I think he knows Hyun Min.
- Yes. - Really?
Is this Dining Together?
Yes, it is.
You sound like a student. Are you really a student?
I'm a college student and I'm joining the army soon.
(Exclaiming)
Then we could talk about the life of the youth today.
The word, "family", refers to people...
who eat together, you know.
Before you join the army, would you invite Hyun Min and me in
and become our family today?
- Please. - I'm sorry.
Oh, I see.
It was so sudden, right?
- We are the ones to be sorry. - We're sorry.
- I'm sorry we can't join you. - Don't pressure a man...
that has to enter the army.
Why did you ask him to eat with you when he has to join the army soon?
- When are you joining the army? - He has a lot on his mind.
On March 26.
- It's quite soon. - That soon?
Good luck with your life in the army.
I hope you'll come back safe and sound later.
Good luck.
- Salute. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
- That was close. - What should we do?
Should we try one more time here?
- We should. - Okay.
(Gyeong Gyu tries himself now.)
Are you doing it yourself?
- I'll show you how to do it. - Okay.
(He even takes off his glasses to get ready.)
(Anticipating)
No one's at home.
- Shall we go to another building? - Let's move.
Did all the residents finished moving in?
- Sure. It's been a year. - I see.
- It has been a year? - Yes.
On which floor do you live?
- Hello. - Hello.
- Ma'am. - Gosh.
- That startled me. - Hello?
Would you like to get in first, ma'am?
(Gyeong Gyu keeps going without knowing the situation.)
He is already on his way.
I can't help but follow him.
Who is it?
Hello.
It's a child.
- Hi. - Hello.
Hello, kid. I'm Ho Dong,
- and this is... - Hello.
Are you his mom?
Oh, it's Han Hyun Min.
Do you know me?
Of course I do.
Please listen to what Hyun Min says from now.
I can't hear you very well.
My goodness.
- It must be broken after a year. - What should we do?
If it gets disconnected, we'll ring the bell again.
Could you talk after taking a step backwards?
May we ring the bell in front of your door?
Okay.
- Now, can you hear... - Let me open it for you.
- Okay. - Yes!
We can't be sure yet. Let's go up and try to keep talking...
because she can't hear us very well.
(They can at least enter the building.)
We came halfway, right?
- What? - Halfway to a success, right?
We don't know yet.
Because the intercom didn't work very well,
we have to go up and ask her again.
(Gyeong Gyu and Yoon Ju come to another building.)
I think the light is on in the unit on the third floor.
Good.
(They have the doorbell to themselves now.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - I'm Jang Yoon Ju, a model.
Hello. Goodness.
- Say him that... - May I ask what you were doing now?
I'm cooking now.
Great. You are cooking.
(Ho Dong and Hyun Min came all the way up to the door now.)
Please explain well.
(His heart is fluttering.)
Mom.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Hi.
Have you eaten yet?
If you haven't had dinner yet...
Guess the title of our show.
- Dining Together. - Bingo! That's right.
Congratulations.
We're in Wangsimni today...
for a special episode of Dining Together.
I see.
If you haven't had dinner yet...
and don't mind inviting us in, we'll go in...
and have dinner with you.
Right, and we'll have conversations.
Exactly! We'll have conversations too.
As you know, the show is about having conversations over dinner.
- Yes. - Would you like to invite us in...
and become our family today in Wangsimni?
Would you be able to invite us in for dinner?
But the thing is, we don't have many side dishes at the moment.
We only have few side dishes.
No problem. Our conversations are the point of the show.
They're as important as the meal.
- That's okay. - That's no problem.
Will that be okay?
- Yes! - That's totally fine.
Will you be our family today?
What will happen to the two teams?
(Side dishes aren't important...)
(if we can have a meal together.)
(Please)
- Sure, please come in. - Yes!
(Ho Dong and Hyun Min succeeded.)
- Okay. If that's the case, - Yes.
I'll open the door for you.
(Gyeong Gyu and Yoon Ju also succeeded.)
- My gosh. - I'm so excited.
Don't go in yet. Let's see what happened to them.
- Oh, okay. - They failed again.
Did they fail?
Let's go find out.
What happened?
They went up?
Did they... Does that mean they succeeded?
They let them in.
- Why? - So that they can come up.
- They couldn't hear them well. - I'll go find out what's going on.
(Gyeong Gyu came to find out what's going on.)
Oh, Gyeong Gyu. You're here. I was just calling you.
(I came to brag about my success, and you guys already succeeded?)
Meet my new family. Say hello.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Did you invite them in?
I'm preparing dinner at the moment.
She happened to be preparing dinner.
Gyeong Gyu, meet my little brothers.
- This is Do Hyun. - Hello.
Introduce yourselves. Do Hyun, you first. Attention.
Tell them your name and which school you go to. Start!
I go to Sungshin Elementary School, and I'm in Class 2 of 6th grade.
My name is Kim Do Hyun.
Good, his name is Do Hyun.
I also go to Sungshin Elementary School. I'm in Class Two...
of third grade. My name is Kim Do Hun.
I see. Nice to meet you, kids.
But I don't have time to hang out.
- See you next week, Gyeong Gyu. - All right.
- Take it easy. - You too.
- Bye. - Enjoy your dinner, Hyun Min.
- Thank you. - Go, Yoon Ju!
(I'm here, Ho Dong.)
(Ho Dong and Hyun Min enter their place.)
Your place is so clean and neat.
They entered the warm cozy home with ivory-based decor...
filled with stories of the family of four...
in Wangsimni at dinnertime.
(They've entered a home in Doseon-dong at dinnertime.)
My gosh, the rice cooker is telling us that the rice is ready.
The steam from the rice cooker
- Come here, Do Hun. - It's Dad! Dad is home.
- My gosh. - Dad is home.
- Hello. - Hello.
We're from the show, Dining Together.
We're shooting it in Wangsimni today.
It's a show about having conversations over dinner.
Would you be our family today?
Yes, I should do it.
(They got the father's permission too.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You should change into comfortable clothes, sir.
While he's changing into comfortable clothes,
his wife is busy preparing dinner.
She's making gochujang stew with an ample amount of pork.
She also put zucchini, onions, and Cheongyang chili peppers in it.
With all sorts of vegetables and tofu,
it looks as good as the soybean paste stew...
Hyun Min was dreaming, and it's making us salivate.
Do you know who this guy is?
Do you know who I am?
No, I don't.
I guess you need to work harder.
Yes, I should work harder.
- Please have a seat, sir. - Okay, thank you.
Sir, do you know who he is?
Your dinner mate.
Yes, I've seen him a lot.
- Isn't your name Han Hyun Min? - Yes, that's right.
- Thank you. - I watch a lot of TV.
- Thank you very much. - I watch this show often.
I can't believe my place will be on the show.
- Doesn't it feel like a dream? - I feel like I won the lottery.
Really? Thank you so much.
You have such a kind face. I'm sure you've heard it a lot.
People do say that a lot.
- You have such a friendly face. - You do.
You look very different from the image of you...
I've seen on TV.
Do I look better in person or on TV?
You come across as charismatic on TV,
but now that I'm seeing you in person...
- I'm not like that, right? - Yes.
Do I look friendly or scary?
- You look friendly. - I know, right?
Then do I look cute or scary?
You're not scary, but you don't look cute either.
(Right, not looking scary isn't the same thing as looking cute.)
(His description is accurate.)
You're very honest.
Sir, I have to tell you something funny.
Do Hun is 10, and Do Hyun is 13, you know.
Right? And he's 18 years old.
He's not that much older.
(Hyun Min can be their brother.)
- Oh, that's true. - 10, 13, and 18.
Do Hun is the same age as my second brother.
Do Hun? Do you and your brother fight a lot?
We do fight often.
- With a 10-year-old? - Yes.
What do you guys usually fight about?
Food.
I mean, when my mom buys juice for us,
he always drinks mine secretly.
I'm quite sensitive when it comes to things like that.
(No one can steal my food.)
But...
you guys are brothers. Can't you share your food with him?
Sharing is great, but he eats everything.
That's why we're...
(All the food is gone.)
Don't you let him win at everything if you guys are eight years apart?
I was like that at the beginning,
but if I let him win every single time,
he'll take it for granted.
- He won't be grateful. - Exactly, he won't be.
I know that we're eight years apart,
and I do give him a bit of handicap, but I can't let him win every time.
Then let me ask you two, Do Hyun and Do Hun.
What do you guys fight about the most?
My brother always...
smacks me in the head.
Do Hyun, tell us why you do that.
Why did you smack him in the head?
He was standing right beside me and going like this.
It'd be fine if he didn't bother me,
but he kept hitting me as he was doing that.
I only smack him if he still does it after I warn him not to do it.
- You won't smack him again, right? - Yes.
I won't smack you if you listen to me.
Then will you smack him again if he doesn't?
No, I should give him a chance.
- Three chances. - You will smack me.
I'll give you three chances.
(He'll give Do Hun three chances.)
(You guys are so cute.)
- From now on. - I see.
Do Hun wants to play with his brother,
but Do Hyun will enter middle school soon,
so he wants to have his alone time.
That's why he doesn't want to play with Do Hun anymore.
Do Hun keeps pestering him to play with him,
but he gets annoyed with Do Hun.
That's why they fight like that.
What do you think about it?
I can totally relate to him.
Up until I graduated elementary school,
I played with my siblings all the time,
but after I entered middle school, I started...
hanging out with my friends more because of the age gap.
Your interests change as you age, and because of that difference,
I can understand it,
but it won't be bad to play with him once in a while.
(Play with him once in a while.)
Do Hyun will enter middle school soon,
so I'm sure he has a lot on his mind these days.
He must have many concerns too.
I think I did when I was 13.
He doesn't have any concerns.
He plays games all the time.
You shouldn't say that in front of your dad.
When I'm not around, he always...
How do you know?
I saw it!
- Kids. - When we went to the library,
you were like this. You were glued to your phone.
Hey, your dad probably didn't know about it.
Why did you have to say it in front of him?
It's okay. Dad also plays mobile games.
He plays mobile games too?
(Do Hun is attacking everyone.)
It's okay. He's a ranker.
- "Ranker"? - What is that?
He's a ranker.
I think he's in the top 300.
Oh, he's in the rankings. That's what "ranker" means.
- Which game? - Clash Royale.
(Impressed)
- Well, does it mean... - My gosh, Clash Royale.
- Are you really a ranker? - No, I'm not.
He is a ranker, but he had to spend a lot of cash for it.
(He spent money on in-game items.)
What exactly does that mean?
He spent 300 dollars.
Don't say that in front of your mom.
- She knows about it too. - She does?
My wife found out recently.
- He spent 500 dollars, not 300. - I hid it from her, but...
Hey, your mom must think that he only spent 300 dollars.
She just glared at your dad.
Did she find out about it recently?
Yes, I got caught recently.
Dad, what are you talking about?
Were you hiding it from her?
Yes, I used to play it secretly. She had no idea,
but she found out when I was showing it to the boys.
(He got caught while bragging about it to his sons.)
You shouldn't have bragged about it to the boys.
You got caught while showing it to them.
I should've tamed the urge in that moment.
(He regrets his action.)
You lost your account because you deleted the app.
- His account is gone? - Yes.
I deleted the app at the end of last year...
because quitting mobile games was my new year's resolution,
- Don't lie, Dad. - but I downloaded it again.
(Resolutions usually last for 3 days.)
- It only lasted for three days? - Exactly.
So last year,
your mom found out...
about your dad spending money on the game while he was...
bragging about it to you boys.
- That's not what happened. - We told Mom.
You guys told her on him?
(No, we told Mom on him.)
(His sons betrayed him.)
I see, that's what happened.
We get along so well when we do things like that.
(They're a great team when they tell on their dad.)
That is true.
(I can only laugh.)
I can totally understand why people spend money on in-game items.
It can take a long time to get an item,
but you can obtain it quickly and easily with a little bit of money.
- Right. - But it adds up.
I can totally understand.
- It sounds like you play it a lot. - I used to play a lot of games.
- He loves going to internet cafes. - Yes, that's where I play games.
You don't go to internet cafes, right?
- Internet cafes... - He used to,
but he stopped going.
- You used to go to internet cafes? - He used to...
- in the past. - A long time ago.
I heard the instant noodles sold at internet cafes taste amazing.
- Yes, it's delicious. - It's so good.
Even jjajangmyeon tastes so good there. I used to order it often.
It sounds like he already has a list of food he likes to order.
Sir, do you work in the game industry by any chance?
- No, I work at a school. - I see.
(His answer surprised everyone.)
Hang on.
- You work in the education sector. - Yes, I do.
(Kim Pan Seok, a teaching staff and mobile game ranker)
You'll become famous at your school after this show airs.
- Right now... - You can teach mobile games.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle it.
Are you a homeroom teacher?
No, I currently work in the administrative office.
Then is your wife a stay-at-home mom?
Yes, she is.
- Can I give you a hand, ma'am? - Pardon?
- That's mushroom, right? - Yes.
This smells like mackerel.
- Yes, it is. - Yes, it's mackerel.
(Hyun Min is in charge of the stir-fried mushrooms.)
Call him by his first name.
- Hyun Min. - Hi, Dong Hun.
He's like a big brother to you, so put your arm around him.
Put your arm around your brother.
You're too tall for me.
He's the hottest rising star of the moment.
My gosh, no.
I see you every time I turn the TV on.
- I'm serious. - Thank you.
Hyun Min, you're so busy these days. Do you help out with house chores?
In my family, everyone has to clean after themselves.
- Is that the rule? - Yes, it is.
While the good son, Hyun Min, who's used to helping out with housework,
skillfully stir-fries the mushrooms...
- What's that? - Spinach.
I see, spinach.
All sorts of tasty side dishes made by the mom...
get plated one by one.
- Shall we eat here? - Yes.
My gosh, look at this. This wooden table looks very special.
Isn't this a rare type of wood?
We knew that you guys would be visiting us.
That's why we bought it at the beginning of the year.
- Because you knew we'd be visiting? - Yes.
(He can foresee the future.)
(Do Hyun brings utensils.)
My, look at him helping his mom out.
Do Hyun starts setting the table...
to set an example for his little brother.
Are you doing this to look good on TV?
- I do this all the time. - What?
I usually wipe the table like this.
- You do this all the time? - Yes.
My gosh, you're such a good boy.
I wish my little brother did this too.
(It's Hyun Min's small wish.)
Honey, can I help you with anything?
The husband, who was looking for things to do,
puts rice into bowls for everyone.
The sons help out too.
The entire family worked together to set the dinner table quickly.
I'll take a photo first. How should I take the photo?
The table is so long.
- We should... - I got everything in the frame.
Does it show everything?
- Yes. - You're like a Jimmy jib.
(He's like a human Jimmy jib.)
1, 2, 3.
This meal is...
(There are 2 plates of each dish.)
The mother, who said there aren't many side dishes,
prepared this dinner quickly using her cooking skills.
Even just the gochujang stew makes us salivate.
It's a meal that consists of mouthwatering dishes.
I can't wait to eat this delicious dinner.
- I'll try the gochujang stew. - It's good.
(Slurping)
(Enjoying)
(Hyun Min also tries a spoonful of the gochujang stew.)
Please help yourself.
(He even licks the spoon.)
I don't know where to start because there are so many things to eat.
(Don't waste your time thinking. Just eat everything.)
We don't eat like this every day.
(The mother made extra side dishes for the guests.)
Please help yourself.
Hyun Min, the model who strikes poses on the runway,
is showing everyone how much an 18-year-old boy can eat...
and learning how happy a meal can make him here in Wangsimni.
(He can't be happier.)
Ho Dong, who's addicted to the spicy gochujang stew,
makes all kinds of delicious sounds as he slurps the soup.
The two sons who are going through growth spurts enjoy the meal too.
For the dad who loves mobile games and the mom who's a great cook,
this meal helps them forget their long day.
It's more enjoyable because they're sharing this moment together.
(Sharing makes the dinner more enjoyable.)
Hyun Min, I guess you probably didn't have many chances...
to eat at someone else's place like this.
I used to eat at my friend's place often as a kid.
- When you were a kid? - Yes.
Doesn't food always taste better at a friend's place?
- Totally, it's so good. - Your friend's mom's food.
It was so good that I used to forget about my mom while eating it.
(Was it that good?)
Your mother must've made this kimchi. Aren't I right?
We make it with her at her place.
- With your mother? - Yes, I salt cabbages...
and rinse them.
My husband's job is mixing everything together.
(He mixes everything together.)
- We make kimchi together. - My gosh, it's really delicious.
The kimchi?
I'm the one who mixed it.
(He shyly brags about it.)
I think it's good because I mixed it.
Do you have any secrets...
to make it this delicious?
- Yes, I do. - What's your secret?
Upward 3 times and downward 2 times.
That's what I do to make sure everything gets mixed evenly.
I do this three times, and then from the bottom...
- You mix like that two times. - Yes, like this.
(Laughing)
You're witty.
(Has he discovered his new talent?)
I have a question for you. The models...
we see on TV are very strict with what they eat,
to the point that makes us wonder how they could live like that.
They eat so little, you know.
You're a model too. Don't you have to watch what you eat?
I can't.
There are too many delicious things in the world.
Then let's say you have a fashion show tomorrow.
It's a fashion show of a world-famous designer.
Do you starve yourself the day before?
I have a habit.
I eat instant noodles right before bed every night.
But I don't eat anything the night before a fashion show.
Instant noodles taste even better at night, you know.
That's why I eat instant noodles every night.
- With an egg. - Yes, that's right.
- With what? - With an egg.
- An egg, right. - But...
- I don't break it though. - the night before a fashion show...
(He sure likes to chime in.)
You're quite a talker, aren't you?
You keep chiming in.
(He's blushing.)
How did you feel when you heard about the mobile game?
When you first heard about him and his mobile game.
- He spent money, you know. - He's such a family man,
so he rarely goes out.
I realized that playing games is the only way he can...
relieve his stress. At first, we fought a lot...
because of it.
I couldn't understand why he'd want to waste...
so much time and energy on the games,
but with time,
I came to realize that it's the only way he can relieve his stress.
It's not like he goes out...
- for drinks often. - He rarely drinks.
He comes straight home almost every day and helps me out.
- Does he like to shop? - No, he doesn't like shopping.
He rarely spends money on himself.
- Is he stingy with himself? - Yes, he's very stingy.
But he spent money like that on the game.
- He dropped cash... - But the thing is,
I couldn't understand it at first,
but I figured he needs to relieve his stress somehow,
so I told him to just make sure not to overdo it.
Then are you now okay with him spending money on the game?
Well, my kids told me about it, so I said...
What did they say to you?
"Mom, this is a secret,"
"but Dad has been spending money on the mobile game."
(He feels betrayed.)
So when I heard that...
(These guys are enjoying the story.)
I had a talk with him.
(Scared)
I told him not to show it to the kids ever again.
I also told him to stop spending money on the game.
I was like, "Don't do it ever again."
You shouldn't have to spend money to play a mobile game.
And has he been following that?
I'm not sure.
(That I'm not sure.)
(Embarrassed)
I want to hear what he has to say. I don't play any games.
I want to know why you enjoy the mobile game so much.
Please tell us on behalf of all dads who enjoy playing games.
I'm not that athletic,
so I don't enjoy playing sports.
And I didn't want to just watch TV all the time.
I actually used to read a lot in the past,
but I stopped reading books at some point for some reason.
Hence, I naturally got into playing games.
You need to let off steam and release your thoughts somehow.
- You know StarCraft, right? - Yes.
He's in that generation.
We met in university and got married.
Even back then, he used to play games all the time.
In the beginning of our marriage, we fought a lot...
- because of it. - You had fights about it.
That's right.
We fought very often because of his game addiction.
- But he... - Is it impossible to quit?
I did quit it.
- The game? - Yes, but I play something else.
He's moved on to something else.
He quit computer games, but he's now addicted to mobile games.
I'm addicted to something else now.
So, will you continue to play the game or not?
Pardon me?
I have nothing else to do.
It means he'll keep playing it.
Yes, it looks like that's what he's saying.
But these days, that's how he communicates with our kids.
Because they're boys,
he can play it with them.
If he plays it with his sons,
- Yes, they play it together. - they can...
- meet on the game, right? - Yes, of course.
We can meet on the game even if we live far from each other, right?
Yes. Nowadays, you can even talk to other people through a headset.
Right, the world...
has changed so much.
But I think it helps the boys communicate with their dad.
Just through playing the game together.
My gosh, but spending that much money...
He said 300 dollars, but you should look into it.
300 dollars?
That's...
(Flustered)
He told me he only spent 100 dollars.
Earlier, I heard he spent 500 dollars.
That's what I've spent so far.
The total amount? I see.
Then Do Hyun must've been misinformed.
(Do Hyun must've lied to us, then.)
(Sighing)
- I should look into it. - I didn't spend any money recently.
(She doesn't even look at him.)
I'm being honest.
I didn't spend any money on it recently.
- We hope you can survive. - All right.
Will the husband...
be able to survive this lonely fight?
- Oh, my gosh. - Let's clap.
Meanwhile, Team Lee and Jang, who succeeded at the same time,
enter another home in Wangsimni at dinnertime.
- Oh, my. - Hello! My gosh.
You must be the son.
- My gosh, hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Son, Son.
May we really come in?
- May we come in? - Yes, please come in.
Where's your wife?
Oh, she's in the room now.
She's using the bathroom.
Oh, I see. Then who's making dinner?
I'm going to prepare dinner.
- You're making dinner? - Yes, I can cook.
- I see. - I'm impressed.
Do you cook often?
Yes, I always make dinner for the kids.
What about your wife?
She has to work at our store at night.
She works at Dongdaemun Market.
- We were there earlier today. - Oh, really?
There are many clothing stores.
Yes, we have a wholesale business there.
- That's where you two work. - Yes.
What time does she have to leave?
She usually leaves around midnight.
Really? Then...
- you have to prepare dinner, right? - Yes, now...
- Yes. - Put on the microphone first.
- We'll give you a hand. - Okay.
(We can tell how neat and organized they are from their clean home.)
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
- I was so surprised. - Were you?
(Mother, Kim Hyo Jeong)
Your husband is making dinner.
- Yes, I'm going to help him. - Okay.
Is there anything I can help with?
- Amazing. - No, nothing.
(She doesn't make much sense because she's shy.)
- I'll do it. - Really?
- Yes. - All right, then.
- Are you making stir-fried pork? - Hello.
- She's a model. - Thank you so much.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
Oh, really? Thank you.
- Thank you. - Did you hear that?
How touching.
You humiliated me earlier.
I still can't believe this.
I'm impressed by how popular you are.
Gosh, I'm worried now.
- I'll help. - All right.
- Oh, is it spicy stir-fried pork? - Yes.
He's making spicy stir-fried pork.
- Yes, it's spicy stir-fried pork. - That will be enough.
(While she cooks the spicy stir-fried pork...)
This will take some time.
- I watch Dining Together often. - I see.
I've been wondering when you'd come to our neighborhood.
- Really? - Yes.
And?
- On my way home from class, - Right, yes.
- I got a call about the show. - I see. So what happened?
So I ran home as fast as I could.
(Gyeong Gyu thinks he's hilarious.)
Because you wanted to be on the show?
But you didn't know that we'd press your doorbell.
My gosh, I still feel as if I'm dreaming.
- This is really amazing. - It is amazing.
- My wish came true. - This was your wish?
Oh, my. Give me a high five.
(It's like a dream come true for Yoon Seok.)
But I must say, you don't look...
that different from how you look on TV.
(Gyeong Gyu cracks up.)
What I mean is, you look handsome on TV,
and you look much more handsome in real life.
(Gyeong Gyu is very happy to hear that.)
My gosh, what am I going to do with you?
You sure know how to flatter people.
(Gyeong Gyu likes how mature he is.)
How witty.
While Yoon Seok is winning Gyeong Gyu's heart with his witty words,
Yoon Ju helps the couple...
with dinner preparation in the kitchen.
I'm supposed to stir-fry the meat with oil, right?
Yes.
I rarely cook.
My husband is a better cook than I am.
The two of you run...
- the business together, right? - Yes.
Does it mean both of you go to work that late at night?
No, I'm usually the one who works at night.
You work alone at night.
Does your husband stay at home with the boys at night?
Yes.
Our schedules are the opposite,
and it's as if our roles are reversed.
I have a more important role in our business...
because we sell women's clothes.
- But you run it together. - Yes, we do.
How long have you been married?
It's been about 13 years.
- It's been pretty long. - Yes, we got married young.
(They got married fairly young.)
I have to thank you for inviting us in.
- I know, right? - I'm...
She's a huge fan of yours.
- Really? - Yes.
She woke up less than 10 minutes ago.
We rang the doorbell when you were about to have dinner?
Exactly. I was going to start cooking rice...
and slowly prepare everything else, but this happened.
Yoon Seok's mom cracks eggs into a pot to steam them.
(She sprinkles salt into it.)
She also throws in some chopped spring onions.
The chopped spring onions also go into the spicy stir-fried pork.
(This makes us salivate.)
The various kinds of piquant kimchi get plated separately.
They toast laver seaweed too.
After grilling the ham, which is the boys' favorite,
all of the main dishes are pretty much ready.
Hey, what does "Choi Yoon Seok's Comprehensive Research Lab" mean?
- A comprehensive research lab? - Yes.
- Is this your research lab? - Yes.
I read books and make all sorts of things here.
I see, like those things. I want to see what's on your desk.
From its name alone, we can tell that this room is a special place.
(You've entered a danger zone.)
Yoon Seok's dreams and talents are hidden in this room.
(It's fascinating.)
There's nothing special here.
Did you learn these in your science class?
No, I didn't.
I think about what will happen...
if I mix things like these together.
- I see, all sorts of things. - Yes.
- You experiment with these things. - That's right.
This is... I'll tell you what this is.
- It's soap. - I see, soap.
This is called Liquid Monster.
Kids play with this a lot.
- It's slimy like this. - Right.
- It's kind of gross. - Yes.
- First, mix them in 1-to-1 ratio. - Okay. And then?
- This is flour. - I see.
Add flour into the mixture.
And put in some pigment. Then you get this sticky soap.
(The result is sticky soap.)
So, you just experiment without any specific goals, right?
I do these things just to kill time.
(The goal is killing time.)
What's this?
When I play with my brother, we take...
- little electronic parts... - You put them together like this?
We put them together with a glue gun. They don't work though.
- You glued them together. - It just looks like that.
You made it look like a machine.
- This can't work. - Exactly.
Look at this. This obviously can't work.
- Of course not. - I know.
- It's just glued together. - It doesn't work.
Then why do you make things like this?
I'm very interested in machinery and things that are...
- related to science. - You're interested in science.
- You must watch a lot of news. - Yes.
I do watch the news often.
Look at this.
Oh, I used to dream of becoming an actor.
What? It says right here. "How to Become an Actor".
"Number One. I must stop biting my nails."
That's right. If you bite your nails...
- It's my bad habit. - If you bite your nails,
you can't become an actor.
The next one is... "I must practice lines from movie scripts."
Number Three. "I must practice acting."
"I also have to learn to be more patient."
"I must improve my diction." All of these things are necessary.
"My role model is Kim Soo Ahn."
Who is this?
Did you watch the movie,
- "The Battleship Island"? - Yes, I did.
She was in that movie. She received an award for her performance in it.
So, is that child actress your role model?
- Yes. - Did you watch the movie?
I watched it three times.
(Seriously?)
- That lady who came with me. - Yes.
- Her name is Jang Yoon Ju. - Right.
- She was in a movie. - Wasn't she in "Veteran"?
Yes, she played a detective in that movie.
The director of that movie also directed "The Battleship Island".
- It's the same director. - Really?
You should ask her later...
over dinner.
Tell her that you want to become an actor and ask her for advice.
I've given up though.
- You gave up? Are you sure? - Yes.
I don't think you've totally given up yet.
Even if I've given up,
I should keep practicing...
because an opportunity may come my way.
(You're absolutely right.)
- It is. - My gosh.
- Mr. Choi. - Yes.
I had a talk with Yoon Seok.
I must say, he's a genius.
- Yes, he is. - He really is a genius.
He's very mature.
He is mature for his age.
He told me that he wanted to become an actor,
- Right, he did. - but he's given up on it.
- Yes, that's right. - He decided to give up.
- Why? - He gave up because...
The first reason is...
because he bites his nails.
- Why... - Like this.
(Chuckling)
I bite my nails too.
Oh, really? You should give him some advice later.
He told me that he saw you in the movie, "Veteran".
Thank you, Yoon Seok.
(Blushing)
You're so cute. But why are your cheeks beet red now?
- Don't mind me. - Did I do something?
- No. - Honey, check on the eggs.
Okay.
(Steamed eggs are almost ready.)
- Please have a seat. - Okay.
- Don't stand around like that. - Well...
(His mature remarks make them crack up.)
He sounds like a show host.
("Yoon Seok's Talking Together 1")
We're the guests, and he's the show host.
So do you want to become an actor when you grow up?
I did,
but I've changed my mind.
- Then what do you want to be? - Either lawyer or judge.
Why did you change your mind suddenly?
Realistically...
(He's being realistic.)
I have to think realistically.
- Realistically? - Yes.
Se Chan, what do you like?
Me? I like sports.
- You like sports? - What kind of sports?
- Taekwondo? - Water skiing and snowboarding.
Water skiing and snowboarding?
Did you go snowboarding this winter?
- This past winter? - Yes.
Are you both good at snowboarding?
I have no talent in arts or sports.
I see, you have no talent in arts or sports.
This is his talent.
- Yes, I'm... - He loves food.
He loves to eat?
I'm like Kang Ho Dong.
(Impressed)
My goodness, Yoon Seok.
How can you be so witty?
I was watching "Veteran".
I loved "Veteran".
You did a fly kick.
- Right, I did. - You yelled, "You jerk!"
You said that in the end.
Hey! Right.
I attended an action acting academy...
- for three months for that. - Kim Soo Ro was...
I'm touched.
("Yoon Seok's Talking Together 2" ends.)
When "Yoon Seok's Taking Together" is nearly ending,
the dinner got ready.
(He piles the sliced ham nicely.)
(Steaming)
Se Chan, move this to the table, please.
(The two sons get up to help.)
- We should eat a little later. - Okay.
(Everyone helps to set the table.)
- Take that. - Have a seat.
We're in Wangsimni.
(He doesn't forget to take a photo.)
This meal is...
the dinner of Yoon Seok and Se Chan's family in Wangsimni.
It's their father's love-filled meal...
for their mother who is about to go to work.
- Have a seat. - This is called Dinner Theater.
Dinner Theater is a documentary.
You have to talk while eating.
Ready. Action.
(Dinner Theater, dinner of a family in Wangsimni)
Did everything go fine at the school?
(Laughing)
It'd be bad if it didn't go fine.
Is that right?
Do you want me to make a rice roll with laver?
I will make you one.
- Try it. - No, thanks.
- Just eat it. - No.
(He forces Se Chan.)
- Have one. - He's directing it.
I usually don't talk.
Here.
Take it with your mouth.
(He takes it with his hand.)
(Yoon Seok eats hurriedly.)
Yoon Seok, why don't you eat slowly?
Try this too. Mom cooked it.
(It's so funny.)
Eat a lot.
Are you skipping the tutoring school on Friday?
- Yes. I have a retreat. - Why?
- What? - A student council retreat.
What time will you finish?
- Around 5:30pm. - 5:30pm?
Cut.
(He bragged about Yoon Seok being a member of student council.)
(Se Chan seems awkward.)
- It's difficult, isn't it? - It is.
(They begin eating.)
Thank you for the meal.
- Thank you. - Eat a lot.
Dig in.
It's not much though.
- Don't say that. - I love it.
- Please eat a lot. - This kimchi is old.
So it must be sour.
- No. - That's better.
(She frowns.)
(It must be very sour.)
- It's really good. - It's really sour, isn't it?
Is it?
My mother-in-law cooked it.
(She tries his mother-in-law's radish kimchi.)
- It's nice. - Do you want some lettuce?
(Bursting into laughter)
Yes, please.
(He acts like an old man.)
He's the elder of the house.
(He looks very serious.)
Yoon Ju, who has been craving for meat...
begins with spicy stir-fried pork...
and eats all the side dishes.
(She bites onto the radish kimchi.)
She proves herself to be the model with the biggest appetite.
- It's nice. - It's really good.
Gyeong Gyu, who is in love with the spicy stir-fried pork...
makes a wrap with perilla leaf and gochujang.
He demonstrates how an old man makes a wrap.
(The way he makes his wrap is the old man's way.)
(He puts it in his mouth.)
Yoon Seok and Se Chan get to dine with...
the unexpected guests.
Making new memories over a meal,
they can't stop smiling.
You go to work late. What time do you come home?
I leave home around 11:30pm.
I come home around 3 to 4am.
I sleep for a little while and then leave again around 8am.
Is your shop in Namdaemun?
No, it's in Dongdaemun.
- Dongdaemun. - Yes. Just here.
Do you go to the factory at 8am then?
No. I go to the store...
and have a meeting with designers.
And then I get off work at 12 noon.
Do you design too?
- She designs. - Yes. I design clothes too.
Right.
It must be very difficult to work in early morning.
- It's not easy. - Of course.
Your day and night are switched.
That's why people in that industry usually live around this area.
Right.
In the past,
they used to have performances early in the morning.
(There used to be a lot of events in the early morning at Dongdaemun.)
I used to present those events.
Dance groups came and danced.
I used to present with a mic.
We are in the wholesale market in front of that.
Isn't the wholesale market near...
- that DDF building? - Do you mean "DDP"?
DDP.
(He's embarrassed.)
- What is DDP? - It's Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
Where is that?
It's that building that looks like a spaceship.
- Right. - Dongdaemun Park.
Right. There.
It's the building that shoots lights.
(He's embarrassed.)
How can you...
correct me so bluntly?
You could've just covered up my mistake.
So that's not where your shop is?
Our shop is in Chungpyunghwa Fashion Mall﻿.
- I see. - Yes.
Have you been running this business for a long time?
I entered this industry after finishing my military service.
So it's been around 14 years.
You've been doing it for a long time.
You must have earned a lot...
when you first began.
Wasn't the industry booming then?
At first, we were just staffs at a clothing shop.
It wasn't ours.
We used to work for another person.
It's been five years since we started running our own.
We had to learn things. There were a lot of things to learn.
You must've met at Namdaemun then.
- I said Dongdaemun. - Dongdaemun. Right.
(He's very embarrassed.)
(What is it again?)
- Dongdaemun. - I got it.
(He's got it.)
He's like that.
(Yoon Seok helps Gyeong Gyu.)
You met at Dongdaemun.
- Yes. - While working in this industry.
- Right. - Right?
We worked in the same shop.
She was such a gentle person.
- She doesn't talk much. - Right.
- I can tell she's very gentle. - She's gentle.
I was quite wild when I was in middle and high school.
But she was very gentle.
She's quiet.
What is your age difference?
Two years.
I was born in 1981, and she was born in 1983.
My goodness. You are both younger than me.
(Yoon Ju lived a little longer than them.)
You have to serve me well.
(We will.)
- Are they younger than you? - They are.
I am old.
(He spits out the steamed egg.)
Were you in a relationship before you got married?
Yes. We were.
How long were you in a relationship?
About a year.
We knew each other for a year,
but we only dated for three months.
My goodness.
What did you think of him when you first saw him?
I was amazing.
He was scary.
He used to... He looks like a good man now.
But at the time, he had a very short hair,
and he was bigger.
So he looked quite scary at first.
How did you come to fall in love with him?
We were the youngest staffs.
We always got scolded.
We always got scolded by older staffs.
You comforted each other.
We fell in love while badmouthing our colleagues in the warehouse.
You badmouthed your bosses.
"What's wrong with them?"
We had some snacks.
When we were found, we got scolded again.
You were both the lowest rank staffs.
Whenever you got scolded by your boss...
at Dongdaemun, you went to the warehouse...
and ate snacks.
We were once found badmouthing our boss and got yelled at.
Is there a reason why you got married so early?
- It was like this. - Is there a reason?
When I first saw her, I knew it had to be her.
I was certain about it.
- And you were so young. - Right.
I thought I wouldn't be able to...
get married if I don't marry her.
The thought suddenly hit me.
Did you think like that too?
- No, she didn't. - No.
(She had a completely different thought.)
That's what happens, isn't it?
- What was it like for you? - She had a different thought.
At first,
he said he was dating me to marry me.
He said I shouldn't date him if I am not going to marry him.
I was too young then.
I wanted to date him a little longer...
and get married when we get more settled.
You were only 24.
I wanted to get married when I become more stable.
I introduced my mom to him one day.
And as soon as he met her, he asked her for permission to marry me.
He did that,
and that really surprised my mom.
(His will to marry her shocked the entire family.)
I was surprised too.
I went to meet her father too.
I kept knocking the door,
and I asked them to call me.
When they scolded me, I got scolded.
How did you meet your husband, Yoon Ju?
From 16 to the year I got married,
I never stopped dating.
(She never stayed single.)
- Don't listen to her. - What's wrong?
(He censors it for the children under 13 years old.)
I used to love dating.
I constantly worked hard...
and loved hard.
I debuted at an early age.
When I first met my husband,
I wanted to...
marry him.
- You felt it. - That's fate.
- He was such a stylish... - Was he gentle?
He's a very gentle man.
We are the opposite.
We are similar.
Right. My husband is quiet...
- and gentle. - He's a good man.
Our personalities are different, but our tastes are similar.
We like the same things.
We are completely different people.
We are different too, but our tastes match.
- We have different tastes too. - You have different tastes.
- Even more different. - Even more different.
People with different personalities usually get married.
Right. We are very different.
You are attracted to each other because you are different.
- Right. - Yes.
(They were attracted to each other because they're different.)
They were two very different young people.
They acknowledged their differences...
and filled what each other lacks.
They became partners who understand each other well.
While listening to the story to this couple,
we are getting curious about the love story of Mr. Gamer.
Did you meet at college?
He was a returning student, and I was a regular student.
- He's older than you. - Yes.
- How much older is he? - Three years older.
Did he return to school after finishing the military service?
- That's why he's three years older. - He came back to school.
He kept asking me to introduce him to a girl.
He said I had to hang out with him if I don't introduce anyone...
to him by Christmas.
I didn't introduce him to anyone.
He wasn't in the situation to be introduced.
He wasn't.
- What was the reason? - He was too old-fashioned.
So after we graduated,
he kept contacting me.
He asked me to go shopping with him.
He asked me to go on a movie date with him.
So I went on the date a few times.
- He was persistently asking. - Yes.
Then my grandmother passed away.
He came to her funeral...
and helped out for three days like a son.
Was that even before you started dating?
That was when we just started dating.
At the time,
I thought it was what I had to do.
When her grandmother passed away,
she was having a very hard time.
And that made me want to help her.
That's why I went there.
That's when her parents saw me...
and gave me permission to date her.
- He acted like a son. - That was a smart move.
(Going to her grandmother's funeral was a smart move.)
(It was the moment when his competitive spirit,)
(which he trained by playing games, shone through.)
My parents really liked him.
They still love him very much.
They always praise him.
I approve that.
He approves it.
Do you know that your grandparents...
really like your father?
Yes. They always cook the dishes he likes.
- What are those? - Bean paste stew.
Bean paste stew.
My mother-in-law's bean paste stew is so good...
that I always eat a minimum of 2 bowls of rice. Sometimes 3.
I see. That's how you started dating.
Yes. We started dating.
For a year and a half, he came to my house.
I was working in Gangnam at the time.
He came to Gangnam to fetch me after work.
We hung out for 10 minutes,
and he dropped me off at home.
We did that for a year and a half.
- Then... - When you asked her...
to introduce you to girls,
were you already interested in her?
- Yes. - He wasn't interested then.
He said I was the first person to call him so sweetly.
It's embarrassing to say, but I had never dated anyone.
And I loved how sweet she was to me.
Whenever I saw her,
I was drawn to her.
You could've just told her that.
Why would you ask her to introduce you to a girl?
I couldn't ask her out from the beginning.
So I wanted to...
come up with excuses to meet her.
He said he got movie tickets for free, but it turned out...
he had bought them himself.
(He's so cute.)
Whenever I called and asked him what he was doing,
he said he was reading a book.
So I thought he was reading a book.
But his grandmother later told me...
that he was playing games.
(He was just playing games.)
(My goodness, Dad.)
That's what he was doing.
It's hilarious, isn't it?
How boring would it have been if he didn't play games?
Game is his life.
(He's been playing games for 42 years.)
I think I will use that trick.
While playing a game,
- I will say I'm reading. - I actually thought he was.
I used to read then.
You were afraid to confess your feelings to her.
So you asked her to introduce you to a girl.
That was his way of saying that he's interested in you.
What would've happened if she did introduce you to another girl?
That's why this is a fate.
Would you have gone to meet that lady if she did?
I wouldn't have.
Right?
Why would you ask such an obvious question?
That was a very bad question, wasn't it?
- You thought about it, didn't you? - My goodness.
After giving it a thought, you denied it.
I had no intention whatsoever.
Ever since I first met her,
I fell in love with her at first sight.
(How did he marry the love of his life?)
How long did you date for?
I think we dated for about two years.
I got married at the age of 24, and he was 27.
I see. You got married quite early.
His grandmother...
raised him like a son.
He wanted to get married before she passed away.
When we were getting married, his grandmother was 86.
My father passed away quite early.
Since my grandmother was pretty old,
I wanted to get married early.
What made you decide to date him?
I thought I wouldn't have to worry...
if I marry him.
Worry about what?
About whether or not he will love me for life.
Right. He wouldn't give you a hard time.
Right. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about that.
For that one reason I married him,
but it's been too tough.
Why? Because he plays games?
No.
We got married because of his 86-year-old grandmother.
She was 86 then.
And she passed away this year at the age of 101.
So...
She was old,
so she became mentally weak.
She suffered from Alzheimer's for about 9 to 10 years.
I took care of her for 10 years.
We used to live with her.
But If I have to choose again,
I would still choose to marry him.
(He's touched.)
What's the reason for that?
If he will still be how he is now, I will still live with him.
That's the best compliment one can get.
Thank you.
I will marry him again in the next life.
That's the best compliment ever.
- I think it's great. - She makes me proud.
(He's thankful to his wife.)
He was an old-fashioned man who's into games.
But she didn't doubt that he was her partner for life.
They got married,
and now with unchanging love and faith,
they are building a strong family.
(They are a family with strong fences.)
Where are you originally from?
I used to live in Sillim-dong.
Sillim-dong.
- Over there. - Yes.
- I used to live in Sinnae-dong. - Sinnae-dong.
Yes. I lived there for a long time.
I was born in Majang-dong.
I went middle and high school in Sinnae-dong.
Why did you choose to move to Wangsimni?
- Because it's near work. - It's...
- It's near your work. - It's near Dongdaemun.
You can get there in five minutes on foot.
- Five minutes on foot? - Of course.
Dongdaemun is the hub of transportation.
Do you like this apartment?
It's very expensive.
- I was really surprised. - Actually,
in the previous building, I used to be a building representative.
- Right. - I used to be.
I lived there for more than 10 years.
By the way, you look like a building representative.
I was always surrounded by ladies.
I didn't have to cook. They always gave me food.
The ladies in town brought me potato backbone stew and kimchi.
But my wife was struggling to go to work from there,
so we hurriedly moved.
You abandoned your title as the building representative.
- Right. I liked there. - You can do it here.
I can't do it because it's not ours.
I see. Only the owners are qualified?
- Right. You need to own it. - Goodness.
I am really curious.
I don't own a house either. I am renting a house.
I am looking for a house to buy.
- But the houses are too expensive. - They are.
When we toured around the complex,
they had everything. They had shops, a church, and schools.
- You have everything here. - But it's not my house anyway.
I am not very impressed by them.
That's important. Right.
It's not mine anyway.
I'd appreciate those if this was mine. But it's not.
But it's nice that you have those facilities around you.
Right. It's nice, but how does it affect me?
Right. It doesn't affect me.
- It's not mine. - I don't take the subway anyway.
Right.
I rarely use the subway, and I don't go to church.
- It doesn't affect you. - It doesn't affect you at all.
Yoon Seok, go get water.
Okay.
You're done anyway.
I should get water.
Why aren't you talking?
- Are you shy? - No.
A while ago...
They are very different, aren't they?
- They are. - Every child is different.
- They are very different. - It's fascinating.
How can your two sons...
He's such a good boy.
- He is. - Thank you, Yoon Seok.
Yoon Seok will change the country.
I guarantee you.
He will change the country.
How do you educate your children?
I am very interested in this matter.
How do you make your child polite?
Being polite...
is the most important thing.
I never tell them to study hard.
I tell them to be polite to the elders...
and to talk nicely.
That's the only thing I tell them.
(They want their two sons to be polite.)
- They seem very polite. - They look polite.
Does your father always puts emphasis on politeness?
I think he considers politeness the most important virtue.
They never force me to study hard,
- unlike other parents. - They don't force you.
As long as I am polite, they let me do whatever I want.
(They can do anything as long as they are polite.)
In the past, when I go out to exercise,
my second son used to call me.
When I pick up his call, he would say,
"Dad, I got a zero for dictation."
He kept calling me and reported those things.
(He gives a heads-up politely.)
Then I get a call from him.
"Dad, I also got a zero on the test."
- I didn't get a zero. - But I've never scolded them.
- You just say that politely. - Yes.
He says that he got a zero in a polite way.
That's good. He shouldn't lie.
What do you think about your dad's view on education?
It's the best.
(He respects his dad.)
(Dad is the best.)
- That's good. - You should say you admire him.
I admire you.
(He's cute.)
He looks like a little kid when he says "Dad is the best."
- He's so cute. - I know.
He's a cute little boy.
So you go to work early in the morning.
You'd be concerned about your kids.
Not really. My husband helps me a lot.
He's a very supportive husband.
- He teaches the children manners. - And he cooks.
He takes good care of the children.
I often go on a trip with my two boys.
We often go on a trip for 2 or 3 days.
What was the most memorable place you've been?
I liked the camping car.
You went on a trip in a camping car?
- There was a swimming pool. - I see.
We had fun in the swimming pool...
and ate grilled meat there.
Building up good memories with his sons,
he fills the void instead of their busy mother.
My daughter is only 14 months old.
- 14 months? - Yes.
She's 14 months old.
I respect that you are a working mother of two children.
Hashtag respect.
Do you know hashtag?
- What? - Hashtag.
- Is it something about hash? - My goodness.
Does it mean that you shouldn't tackle a person...
when he or she makes hash?
Seriously, I respect you.
She's amazing.
She works and takes care of her family.
And her husband supports her.
So I also respect him.
You two should praise each other then.
Say good things about each other.
I'm thankful that she was born.
Gosh, what was that?
- My goodness, that's new. - That was sudden.
- We just had dinner. - Gosh, wait.
That's too strong.
- You're thankful that she was born. - And thank you for marrying me.
You're thankful that she married you.
And thank you for staying with me.
- That's the best one. - I know.
I guess that's it.
- He's a good husband. - Right.
- And he's a good father. - I can see that.
When he buys something,
he always buys things for the children and me first.
You run business and raise children.
It must be really hard.
It is hard,
but my husband helps me a lot.
What if he didn't help you with that?
I would've stopped my work long before.
- I wouldn't have been able to work. - I see.
Do you enjoy working?
Yes. I like my work. It's fun.
Do you like your brother?
- Do you? - They fight a lot.
- They do? - They fight a lot.
From early morning.
Are you happy that you're his younger brother?
No.
Why not? He's a good brother.
He cares about you.
Do you like your younger brother?
I like him.
He surely is the older one.
Then praise your brother.
I'm thankful that he plays with me.
(He starts talking without hesitance.)
And I'm grateful that I can help his study and have a chat with him.
And...
I'm just grateful that he exists.
(Bursting into laughter)
He burst into laughter hearing that.
I'm just saying that...
because I'd be lonely if I were alone.
That's right. You'd be lonely.
Okay. That's it.
He takes after his dad.
I know.
You should praise and criticize each other.
But you already spoke very highly of him.
I can compliment her like 10 times.
(I'm the romanticist in this neighborhood.)
(The son tears his hair out.)
You're just amazing.
(He feels shy.)
First of all,
he understands me a lot.
And he loves me a lot.
Whatever I do, he understands my feelings.
- He's considerate. - Yes, he's very considerate.
Second, he's handsome.
(They admit that the couple is very much in love.)
(Smiling)
She says all the good things, right?
If I were the husband, I would feel very happy.
And he's a family man.
He does the laundry and cleaning.
On weekends,
he just tells me to get some rest and cooks meals for our children.
- I do that on weekends. - Every weekend.
I want to cook breakfast for my family on weekends.
He just can't wait to compliment his wife.
Let's just get it over with.
Actually I fell in love with her at first sight.
People believe in destiny.
I think we're destined to be together.
If I had a chance in another life,
I'd be honored to marry her again.
(That'd be the greatest glory of his life.)
He has so many things to praise.
- He's confused. - He doesn't know what to say first.
I don't know what to say first.
You're on fire.
I know.
For the next 20 years...
- You'd be comfortable. - Right.
He's supposed to say three good things about her,
but he said he could say 10 different things.
That was a good one.
I can say 100 different things.
(He's the romanticist in Doseon-dong.)
He was too old-fashioned.
I think I got a call from Gyeong Gyu.
(He got a call from Gyeong Gyu.)
I think he succeeded.
(Of course we did.)
(We made it.)
Which block did you go to?
Block 103.
Is it in the same block?
It's in the next line.
- Hello. - Hello.
Nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hi.
I think the son is about 13 years old.
That's right.
- Sixth grader? - Yes.
Which class do you belong to?
Class one.
Do you know him?
He's Yoon Seok.
What? I know him.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Is he your friend? - I saw him at school.
You've met him before.
I'll see you later.
(Bye.)
That's cute.
We succeeded in finding a family for Dining Together in Wangsimni.
We succeeded! Congratulations.
Good luck.
(They share the joy all together.)
We'll do the dishes then.
We'll do the dishes.
That's the rule.
Rinse them now.
(Ho Dong rinses the dishes in water.)
Does it have room for more dishes?
Yes, you can put them in here.
Let's put them in there.
(Stacking dishes)
(Hyun Min rinses the dishes and puts them in the dishwasher.)
This is amazing.
(Yoon Ju is having a small fan meeting.)
We should rinse them.
I've been a big fan since I was little.
Really? When?
You should say that in front of the cameras.
(She tells the truth when she's alone with Yoon Ju.)
Since you were on the cover of teenage magazines.
I was a big fan of you.
Thank you so much.
Wangsimni.
(They take a photo with the family.)
Like this?
They met the 129th and 130th families...
for Dining Together in Doseon-dong, Wangsimni.
Uncle Ho Dong...
and Hyun Min. Thank you for coming to our house.
We had a nice memory together. Thank you.
Thank you for giving us the good memory.
Go, Dining Together.
- Go, Dining Together. - Go, Dining Together.
I love you, honey.
It's under Mount Bukhan.
(Ui-dong, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul)
(The neighborhood is filled with the air of youth.)
(An acoustic guitar and a microphone?)
(Is today's guest a veteran musician?)
(I get it.)
(I know him.)
(Slapping)
(The prince of ad-libbing, Tak Jae Hoon)
(He has an uncanny talent for ad-libbing.)
(2nd generation, 1st generation)
(When Gyeong Gyu was single,)
(he used to wear toe socks.)
(I know who he is.)
(If he knows all that thing,)
(we should kill him.)
(Running away)
(Gyeong Gyu's underling, Lee Hwi Jae)
(He's one of the top 5 celebrities I don't want to meet.)
(He has big news.)
(Nervous)
(I had a bottle of whisky with him the other day.)
(He's like a time bomb for Gyeong Gyu.)
(I used to hang out with Hwi Jae a lot.)
(Ho Dong tries to protect Gyeong Gyu.)
(Smiling)
(We went on a blind date of 3 to 3.)
(Anxious)
(He called the guys together in the restroom.)
(There are still a lot of rumors about me. Don't say that.)
(He's the insider who dominates Ho Dong and Gyeong Gyu.)
(And there's the master of ad-libbing.)
(This is for an eyesight test.)
(Displeased)
(I'll give you some coffee.)
(Do you have caramel macchiato?)
(I'd have iced Americano.)
(Look at him.)
(I'll have some food delivered here.)
(Stop being ridiculous.)
(He explodes.)
(The dinner mates are out of control.)
(Would they be able to find a family for Dining Together?)
(Wait.)
(I'm just shy.)
(Even Jae Hoon feels afraid before ringing a doorbell.)
(Shy)
(Hello?)
(Hung up)
(Can we have dinner...)
(My gosh, Jae Hoon.)
(The ad-libbing master's legs gave away.)
(You should say something.)
(Meanwhile, a father of twins, Hwi Jae...)
(I'm Seo Eon and Seo Jun's father, Lee Hwi Jae.)
(I know Lee Hwi Jae very well.)
(Jealous)
(A father of twins)
(Oh my goodness)
(Thanks to the twin brothers, he enjoys his popularity.)
(Let's shut down the circuit breaker.)
(Just stay here.)
(Turning over a new leaf, they struggle to find a family.)
(Getting ready to ad-lib)
(We made a reservation for two.)
(What reservation?)
(It's not easy to find a family for Dining Together in Ui-dong.)
(There's a spiderweb.)
(He's attacked by a spiderweb.)
(Would they be able to find a family?)
(Dining Together)
It really clears your mind, right?
Yes. It feels great.
I think you're a lucky boy.
I know. I'm lucky.
I know. We met good people...
- and made a good memory. - I know.
I'm full. And it feels heartwarming.
- Right? - Yes.
We learn from it.
Yes.
- Let's jump. 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
(Commemorative jump)
- Let's get it. - Let's get it.
2018 SS season dinner.
Will you join us for that?
(Will you join us for dinner?)
