(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.)
The two old men came to find a cool oasis in the middle of Seoul.
(It's so hot!)
They are in their element today.
We're here in Banpo right now.
Banpo. I think this was Hangang Park Jamwon Area.
- Jamwon-dong. - This is the T.P...
- in Hangang Park Jamwon Area. - What's the T.P?
My gosh, it stands for the trendiest place.
Oh, this is the trendiest place?
- Yes, this is T something. - Yes, you have to know...
this newly developed culture.
The outdoor pools are still in business.
These are pools within Banpo Hangang Park.
- Yes, Hangang Park Jamwon Area. - You have to get tanned in summer.
Look at them.
- It's technically autumn now. - Yes, but they're still here.
(People are enjoying the end of a hot summer.)
I guess our guests today will be people who have great bodies.
- I would think so. - I mean, we're at a pool.
They might be wearing revealing clothes.
(These two men only shows their faces.)
(The center of attention)
(They show off their swag under the hot sun.)
(The helicam is filming them)
(They're completely covered up...)
(under the scorching sun.)
(Looking around)
(They're hiding their identity with bathrobes.)
(Who are these two cool guys?)
Look, they're lying down right here.
(The four men finally met.)
It's really hot today.
Hey, what's up!
(Sweating)
(These two guys who were showing off their bodies...)
(are today's awesome guests!)
AOMG!
(Showing off their swag)
Real name, Jung Gi Suck. Born in Busan.
He wanted to be a rapper since his second year in middle school.
He grew up to be an influential rookie rapper...
in the underground hip-hop scene in the late 2000s.
His low voice and fancy rap skills...
definitely got him acknowledged as the best.
(Frowning)
(Tsingtao Beer is the best for lamb skewers.)
And he's even witty.
The prince of underground hip-hop,
Simon Dominic of AOMG.
As known as Jay Park. From Seattle, US.
He started off as a member of a b-boying crew in the US,
became a leader of an idol group,
then became the CEO of an influential hip-hop label.
("Solo" by Jay Park, featuring Hoody)
Not only is he a great dancer, a sweet singer,
and a skillful rapper,
he also has a hot and muscular body.
(Do you think you're the only one who should get to eat?)
(Manila clam!)
(Clam!)
He's also very witty when he talks,
and he's one of the best musicians in the Korean hip-hop scene.
Jay Park, the CEO of AOMG.
The two hip-hop heroes who gnaw on their beats...
came to gnaw Let's Eat Dinner Together away!
(They came to gnaw Let's Eat Dinner Together away!)
Hey, what's up!
It's been forever.
(It's not every day you get to see the two of them on the same show!)
- Hello. - It's been forever.
- Let's get it! - Man.
(Jay Park's swag)
- Simon Dominic. - Hey, Gyeongsang Province pride.
- Simon Dominic. - Simon Dominic.
- Do you know me? - Of course.
- He's Jay. - What's his last name?
- He's Jay Park. - My gosh.
I know because...
Was it Nicole?
Oh, Loco.
"Nicole"?
"Nicole"? Come on.
- I've been working with Loco. - Yes, it's amazing.
- That's why I know a lot of... - Yes?
hip-hop artists nowadays.
Their hip-hop swag overflows all over Banpo.
I thought it'll be kind of tough for you two to be friends.
- Are you from LA? - Yes.
- LA? - No, Seattle.
- Seattle? - He's from the US.
- Busan. - And he's from Busan.
- Busan. - Right?
- How do you know each other? - Do you know what their label is?
- What? - AOMG!
Our agency is named AOMG. Do you know?
I wouldn't know the agency.
Loco, Gray, and Simon Dominic﻿ are...
all in the same agency.
- You're all in the same company? - Yes.
It's called AOMG.
- They're a team. A crew. - Yes.
Is this question...
too hip-hop to ask in the beginning?
- What is it? - Tell me just as it is.
- Okay. - This is too provocative.
- No, not at all. - It's fine.
It's just something that I heard.
I heard that you two fought.
("Simon Dominic Resigns as the CEO of AOMG")
- Did you two make up? - No, it's not that we made up.
- No fights? No problems? - No.
Things are very peaceful between us.
You do know about the rumor, right?
It's not a rumor.
We were co-CEOs,
- then I recently resigned. - Did you?
(Simon Dominic recently resigned as a CEO.)
Businesses don't last long if you have a business partner.
No, it's not...
(It's like he's telling them out of his experience.)
- Why? - No, nothing.
There is no problem...
with money or relationship because we did business together.
They were co-CEOs. They ran the company together.
Yes, they did business together.
- But... - You two were co-CEOs.
- Exactly. - You're bound to part your ways.
We haven't parted yet.
- We haven't. - Okay.
He's the only CEO now, and Simon Dominic is an artist there.
Did you just sign with him?
I became party B instead of party A.
So you became just a director,
- not the CEO. - Yes.
- Exactly. - That's much better.
It wasn't a problem over money.
I just do music in this company.
But when I worked as one of the CEOs,
I became kind of lazy,
- Right. - and I became...
much less desperate too.
So I wanted to go back to my first mindset.
Then I guess what I heard got blown up...
- in the way. - You're right.
- Yes. - As your positions have changed.
Actually, he recently...
released a song.
It was called "Me No Jay Park",
- which had my name in the title. - Yes.
So people thought...
it was a diss song and that we were in a bad relationship.
They thought he was leaving AOMG.
But in our company, it's like a family.
We're all colleagues.
To be honest, I am a bit surprised about our guests.
- Why? - Because they do hip-hop.
- Why? - Hip-hop artists...
never ask for favors.
- For what favor? - They don't ask for food.
Of course, they do.
They'd rather starve and keep their swag.
Do you know how much Microdot eats?
- Microdot? - Microdot.
He can eat up to 30 servings.
But even Microdot doesn't ask...
- for food. - He does.
Hip-hop artists don't ask for favors.
He asks me to do him a favor and get him a fishing rod...
from one of my advertisers.
(Microdot is summoned again with a fishing rod.)
- My gosh. - Microdot.
Hip-hop artists still have to eat.
- Exactly. - Can you ring the bell...
- and ask people? - Can you do it?
Hip-hop artists aren't...
- rude or anything. - Exactly.
We became very cultured.
- Exactly. - Yes.
- Let's listen to your songs. - Sure.
- We aren't rude. - Their hit songs?
Hey, Simon Dominic!
- Hi! - Give us your medley!
(The first performance by Simon Dominic!)
(A legendary figure of the hip-hop scene...)
(and the prince of the underground hip-hop)
(His performance begins now!)
(Let's go watch Simon Dominic.)
This is embarrassing.
(The old men are...)
(moving with the rhythm.)
(His rap can turn an outsider into an insider.)
(Live from Banpo Hangang Park)
(Catching their attention)
(He's about to get to the climax.)
(Squirming around)
(Trying to lip-sync)
Swag!
(The hip-hop baby is in a trance.)
(That guy must be drunk.)
(He turned into a drunk from the hip-hop baby.)
(Your swag got my respect.)
(Simon Dominic on the left, Jay Park on the right)
(A real hip-hop godfather)
(He left his soul to Simon Dominic's flow.)
(He's more like a hip-hop grandpa than a hip-hop baby.)
(This is...)
(the center of hip-hop music, Banpo.)
MC Simon Dominic, bring it home!
(I am Simon Dominic.)
- Let's get it. - Yes.
Let's get it.
When it comes to hip-hop music,
it's not about just listening to the songs.
It feels much better to feel the music...
- You're right. - on the scene.
- Yes, it's better live. - Yes, when it's live.
Jay, let's go.
- What? - Jay, let's go.
- Are you ready? - I'm ready.
- Good to go. - It's Jay Park.
You should listen to Jay.
- He's amazing. - Of course.
(One of the best dancers,)
(singers, and the biggest musicians of the hip-hop scene)
(He dances with the flow.)
(He flutters around lightly.)
(I want to do a turn too.)
(His groove makes everyone astonished.)
CEO Park.
CEO Park!
(This is urban hip-hop!)
He has the final say!
(I am Jay Park!)
- He's good. - You have to do this one too.
That's the fad nowadays.
(It's the hammer dance that can make you popular.)
- Let's do it together. - With us?
- 1, 2, 3, 4. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
(Struggling man 1, struggling man 2, someone save them.)
You have to make an uncomfortable facial expression.
(Everything about them looks uncomfortable.)
You have to make this face.
I never thought I would do this here.
Exactly.
- I'm shocked. - Come on.
Hey, the real hip-hop spirit makes...
- We have to do this. - you dance even on an apple box.
That's the hip-hop spirit.
It's the hip-hop spirit...
to do this no matter where you are.
(That's an old spirit.)
- An old spirit? - Old-style.
When I start lip-syncing,
you can add rap music here.
You can sync it with my lips.
(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P)
I'm sure they're playing something.
You know what?
(Hooray)
Okay?
- Watch it on TV. - I'm not sure if that's...
That was enough.
It's time to go out to get a meal.
Hey, hip-hop. Action.
- Banpo-dong. - "Have dinner..."
"in Banpo-dong."
- "Have dinner in Banpo-dong." - "Have dinner in Banpo-dong."
Let's bring a spoon.
Take one!
(The rappers are making the audience do the hammer dance.)
Hip-hop!
(He picked this up very quickly.)
Buy me a meal!
Guys, it's too hot. Go home early.
Kids, who's this guy?
- Jay Park! - Simon!
(Simon Dominic is well-known!)
What about me?
- Who's the red-haired guy? - Simon Dominic.
- Simon Dominic? - Oh, dear.
Simon Dominic wins!
Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul.
(Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul)
It's a triple-subway station neighborhood of Gangnam area,
and has roads going in and out in all directions.
(It's the center of transportation.)
There is a huge multiplex shopping mall...
that connects with Seoul Express Bus Terminal,
and is considered the central business district of Seocho-gu.
Thanks to the establishment of Banpo Hangang Park,
there are many cultural and recreational spots...
including Sebitseom and Seoraeseom,
which became a spot where many people visit.
Will they be able to achieve their dream of getting a meal...
in Banpo-dong, a romantic neighborhood with Han River?
Let's Eat Dinner Together, episode 96. Swag in Banpo.
(Episode 96, Swag in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu)
- Look at this. - What's famous in Banpo?
Banpo? Look.
- Those are famous. - What are those?
- Sebit... - Sebitseom.
Sebitseom.
It's a multicultural building built on top of the water.
It's a building that floats on water.
I've been here because of a wedding.
You're right. This is called Sebitseom,
- and there are three islets. - Right.
They are called Chavit, Gavit, and Solvit.
- Wait. - Three islets.
They filmed "Avengers: Age of Ultron" here.
- You're right. - Is this it?
- This is it. - That scene.
When you see Captain America standing there,
- you see these in the background. - You're right.
These brought in a lot of tourists.
- May I ask you one more question? - What?
This is Jamsu Bridge on the bottom.
- And Banpo Bridge is above it. - Yes.
And I'm sure this is the only bridge that has...
two stories in Korea.
You're right. That bridge gets submerged when it rains.
Why did they make Jamsu Bridge, then make Banpo Bridge...
- as the second story? - This is supposed to be...
How can I put this?
Banpo area is kind of low,
so it used to get submerged under water often...
when it rains. It flooded.
- Banpo area? - Yes.
"Ban" of Banpo apparently means a basin,
because it gathers water like a basin.
- The "ban"? - Yes.
Does it stand for a basin?
That's one of its origins.
(They react like viewers.)
- Swag. - Swag.
When it rains, Han River rises,
- so that gets submerged. - Yes.
Look at that.
That's a mark that shows the worst flood in the past.
The water went up to there?
This bridge connects Yongsan-gu and Seocho-gu.
(Banpo Bridge connects Yongsan-gu and Seocho-gu.)
It's called Jamsu Bridge...
because it gets submerged during the flood.
It became a measure...
that shows Han River's water level.
I love this tunnel.
I have a question.
Did anyone ever just starve because they failed...
at everything?
- Of course. - Really?
- He has never failed. - I never failed.
Ho Dong failed twice.
- I failed twice. - Really?
(Ho Dong's dark history 1, with Jung Kook in Samseong-dong)
(Have you had dinner?)
(September 27, 2017, with Jung Kook of BTS)
(We just finished eating and began to clean up.)
(Disappointed)
(Ho Dong completely failed for the first time then.)
- BTS failed? - Oh, that.
Yes, he failed with me.
(Ho Dong's dark history 2, Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, again)
So I went back to the same place...
with Min Ho of Winner, but we failed again.
(He failed in Samseong-dong, where he failed with Jung Kook before.)
(At least you found your character.)
(You came out twice and failed twice.)
(Ho Dong completely failed the second time too.)
He completely failed...
because someone who lived there had to come to the convenience store.
(You can only eat at the convenience store when a resident comes in.)
And I only failed when I was with musicians.
(We're musicians too.)
We might fail.
I drove here so many times.
- Right here? - This street.
(This is...)
I had no idea because I only went by in a car.
I'm sure everyone in Seoul who has a car...
- probably drove through here. - Yes.
- Wow. - Look at the road.
(This is where Kyung Kyu and Ho Dong are.)
- Kyung Kyu. - What was that?
He has washboard abs.
- That's... That's an old story. - Is it?
Is it all gone now?
It's a bit gone.
Jay exercises in Hangang Park every day now.
- Really? - You still have it.
- He still has it. - It's not as good as before.
Why do you build muscles?
Do you know Usher?
- Yes. - Yes.
Usher had abs.
That looked cool,
so I started working out since elementary school.
Is it rude to say "Let me see your abs."?
Of course. We're in middle of a street.
How could we bring it up?
- It's rude. - Goodness.
Good.
He raised it up for us because we couldn't do it.
- Because I have the belt on. - Swag.
Because for hip-hop,
you either do it right or don't do it at all.
Do you have anything, Simon Dominic?
I have a stomachache instead of abs.
- You have a stomachache? - I have a stomachache.
(Stomachache)
Since he's on variety shows now, his nickname is Samba.
What does Simon D mean?
My name is Simon Dominic.
Simon D is short for Simon Dominic.
Dok2 called me Simon D for short.
- Simon D? - Since then it became Simon D.
Why is it Samba now?
- Is it because you're fun now? - On variety shows,
I got a nickname Simon Dominic the idiot.
We should call him Mr. Simon today.
Because you know, Na Rae?
He has something going on with Na Rae.
There's nothing.
I'm sure that's for fun.
- I don't think so. - Is it true?
Isn't that the woman you meet often?
- We get to meet often. - You invite her to your house.
- No? - It's for the idea meeting.
(Joking)
Mr. Simon. Be nice.
She's my favorite junior.
I know.
(Na Rae showed funny talents.)
(Expecting)
(Come over for budae jjigae.)
(With Na Rae on July 5, 2017)
(Laughing)
(He likes it.)
(It's rated R.)
(Kyung Kyu's satisfied.)
Get out of there.
(That's how Kyung Kyu's love for Na Rae began.)
Let's make pollak stew now.
Check this out.
- Isn't that the bus terminal? - Yes.
To Simon Dominic, the bus terminal is...
- BT. - BT.
It's meaningful, isn't it?
When I was an underground singer,
I always went back and forth from Busan to Seoul.
I came to the bus terminal every time.
I took the last bus to go home.
(Simon Dominic's dream was five hours away by bus.)
Seoul Express Bus Terminal where 40,000,000 people use a year...
is a central commercial area in Banpo...
with a department store,
a hospital and a hotel.
If you go down here, there are a lot of stores.
Can we check them out?
We can. It'll be cool.
(They head to the underground stores to avoid the heat.)
Kyung Kyu. You should walk.
You need to walk.
I hope this is everywhere in the city.
I hope the whole Seoul street were underground.
I heard Seoul Express Bus Terminal flower market is famous.
It's very cool here.
It's full of flowers.
The flower scents.
It smells really nice.
(It's filled with scents of flowers.)
- Kyung Kyu. - Yes?
If you were to compare yourself to a flower, what would it be?
I'm more of grass.
- Grass? - Yes.
(A wisteria flower means anger.)
How nice.
It smells really nice.
Hello.
(He acts friendly.)
(Hi)
There are students sitting there to study.
Are they in high school?
- High school students? - Hello.
Simon Dominic versus Jay.
(Simon Dominic versus Jay)
Number one is Simon Dominic,
Oh, Simon Dominic.
1 to 0 for Simon Dominic.
1 for Simon Dominic. 2 for Jay.
(Number 1 Simon Dominic)
Number one Simon Dominic. Oh, swag.
- It's two to nothing. - It's my day.
1 for Simon Dominic. 2 for Jay.
Pick whoever you like. 1, 2, 3.
- Number 1. - 3 to 0.
The puppy will say different.
Hello.
The puppy?
Hey. Introduce yourself.
Okay. I'm in Class 3-4 in Kyungwon Middle School.
- Ninth grade? - Yes.
Do you like number 1 Simon Dominic or number 2 Jay Park?
Try.
(He is pondering a lot.)
- 2. - 2.
(Jay Park is popular among men.)
It's weird. It's so hot and sweaty, but I'm still hungry.
- I'm really hungry. - I'm really hungry.
Is it because we're exhausted?
I didn't eat on purpose for Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Right.
You can still have breakfast and lunch.
- We only eat dinner together. - Dinner.
- Still... - I didn't know.
All our guests skip breakfast because they don't know.
(Simon Dominic hasn't had anything for 25 hours.)
You don't need to do that.
(Why did we not eat?)
Let's check out this real estate agency.
Oh, it's a real estate agency.
It's really cool.
(Cool)
It's really cool.
It's 2 million dollars for 112㎡.
For sale.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Hello. - Can we come in?
Hello.
I can't believe I get to meet Kang Ho Dong here.
We're shooting here. Are you browsing?
- No. - Are you here to buy some?
- He lives here. - I know the owner.
- Can we shoot here? - Okay.
I noticed by the entrance,
132㎡ costs 2 million dollars.
It costs about two million.
- 132㎡ is more expensive. - Really?
How much is it per square meter?
132㎡ costs 2.5 to 3.5 million dollars.
- For an apartment unit? - Yes.
What's the difference between 2.5 and 3.5 million?
New buildings cost around 3.5 million.
Old buildings cost around 2.5 million.
That's very expensive.
It's all apartments.
It's an apartment complex.
- There are only apartments. - Right?
Are they 100 percent apartments?
It's close to 100 percent.
It's pretty much all apartments.
Seorae Village is a house area.
Right.
- I have a question. - Yes.
(A question?)
- Can I have a cookie? - Sure.
(Jay Park's hasn't had anything for 22 hours.)
- Thank you. - You may have more.
- It's okay. - Can we eat it too?
- Of course. - Well...
Usually the directors don't let us eat anything.
- Really? - Really?
We can't have anything...
until we ring the doorbell except for water.
- For real? - Yes.
- Can he eat it on behalf of us? - No.
- Jay Park... - Jay. Yes.
I remember him having a round face.
- Me? - You lost weight.
Do you mistake me for somebody else?
- You used to rap. - Yes.
Yim Jae Beum isn't fat.
- His size. - He's bigger.
Is it 40,000 to 50,000 dollars per square meter?
The basic sale price is over 40,000 dollars.
- The basic sale price? - Yes.
Do you have a card?
- What? - A card.
- Your business card. - Yes.
- Oh, you want to look it up? - Why?
Just in case.
"The first encounter is important."
They want to sign the contract right away.
- That's not what it means. - No?
- I'm sorry. - As soon as you meet?
That's what it pretty much means.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
First, Banpo...
is famous for apartment buildings over there.
Let's go over there.
(They're finally entering the apartment forest in Banpo.)
How are we going to divide into teams today?
Shall I go with Jay?
Okay.
Hold the spoon.
I don't even have energy to hold the spoon.
I'm exhausted.
He doesn't even have energy to hold the spoon.
- I never expected such expression. - Let's hold it.
- With hip-hop legends. - Okay.
- Here is a drama without scripts. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.
(Let's Eat Dinner Together)
It's time.
(They begin pressing the doorbells in Banpo-dong.)
The time more intense than hip-hop battle has come.
It's grand.
Is this the symbol of Banpo apartments?
This is the best one.
It's awesome.
The center?
(The first doorbell in Banpo's representative apartment)
- Let's go, Kyung Kyu. - Let's go.
Do we start now?
Simon Dominic's been on TV a lot now.
- You're in favor. - I'm on every week.
But...
some people don't like your voice.
- What do I do? - Press any number.
Press.
- What number? - 10...
Here. Press the number.
(Close)
(Is he nervous?)
How did you press it?
Show them your face in the camera.
- Yes? - Hello.
Who is it?
My name is Simon Dominic. Do you know me?
(Listening)
Hello?
- Yes. - Well...
- I'm singer Simon Dominic. - Yes.
Do you know who I am?
(Gasping)
(Hanging up)
(Humiliated)
The door opens.
- Wait. - What's going on?
She's telling you to come up.
- Wait. - At first try.
Hold on.
She opened the door to let us in.
I told you. I will succeed.
You can continue. We'll go check.
Has this ever happened before?
Yes.
Wait.
This is very nervous.
At first try.
I was very nervous.
- I can't remember anything. - No, right?
That happens to everyone.
Did she press it wrong?
I'm nervous.
She barely heard me before opening the door.
Right. The intercom wasn't clear.
Or...
maybe she recognized me.
(Smacking his lips)
I don't think she recognized you clearly.
I know.
It's the first try.
I'm doing what I saw on TV.
Oh, hello.
Are you...
(Puzzled)
- No. - I knew it.
Bye.
(Pressing)
Try to explain well.
(Simon Dominic is frozen, and his swag is gone.)
She might have rejected it...
but pressed the button by mistake.
(Surprised)
It's the elevator going down.
My heart is racing so fast.
We must've been wrong.
She won't open the door.
It must've been a mistake.
In this case...
(Clingy)
This is such a rare scene.
I think it was a mistake.
I was arrogant.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was a success.
- I suddenly feel pressured. - It's okay.
(Jay tries while waiting.)
Touch.
- It worked. - No.
(Deeply sighing)
(Fully concentrating)
I think the bell is not ringing.
You can hear it if you listen carefully.
Isn't there a volume key?
What's happening?
Hello?
Who's this?
- Hello? - Who's this?
I'm not a stranger. I'm singer Jay Park.
Do you know?
- Oh, yes. - You do?
Is this Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Yes. - Yes.
I'm not exactly in a situation to do it.
- Say okay. - Really?
- Okay. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
That's how you do it. Are you warmed up now?
- Shall we go home? - No.
What happened?
- I think it was a mistake. - No one's home.
- Right? It was a mistake. - Yes.
I feel hurt.
- Did you try it? - Yes.
She said she's not in a situation to invite us.
Can you hear them well?
- No. - It's not clear.
- It's not clear. - Let's move.
They take one step back due to uneasy communication.
They take two steps to a new strategy.
We'd blow up a chance.
By the way, Simon Dominic...
is not as cheerful as before.
- No. - I don't feel confident.
We thought it was a success,
but it was a mistake.
I need my initial intention.
Among these many units,
there's got to be one.
Are we going in right away?
Let's go.
- Let's settle in this complex. - Yes.
We don't have enough time if we leave this complex.
It's already 7pm. We wandered for too long.
- They are line 1 and 2. - Yes.
(Simon Dominic with the initial intention tries again.)
Let's try Unit 101 and 102.
- Who is it? - Hello.
I'm singer Simon Dominic. Hello.
Do you know me?
Yes.
(Relieved)
Have you eaten yet?
We already had dinner because I have a young child.
- Goodness. - I'm sorry.
It's fine. If I contacted you...
before you had dinner,
would you invite me?
Of course.
- He's relieved. - Gosh.
- Thank you. Bye. - Thank you.
- I'm sorry. - It's fine. Have a good night.
It was still warm.
It was a warm finish.
- Simon Dominic. - Sixth floor?
Yes.
(Lucky breath)
Good. Here we go.
Okay.
Hello?
- Hello? - Yes?
Hello.
- Who is this? - I'm Jay Park. I'm a singer.
- Yes. - Do you know me?
So?
Don't you know?
I don't know.
- Really? - Sing.
Do you know Kang Ho Dong?
No.
Do you know Lee Kyung Kyu?
- No. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
(Chuckling)
It hurt everyone.
(Scratching)
It hurt everyone.
(Simon Dominic tries again after gaining confidence back.)
I want to go in.
I don't care what I eat.
- Hello? - Hello.
- Yes? - I'm singer Simon Dominic.
Hello.
- Hello. - Do you know who I am?
Yes, I do.
Okay.
We're very hungry.
Have you eaten?
Well... We have.
- Goodness. - I see.
Thank you for welcoming us.
- Bye. - Bye.
How about the next building?
- Pardon? - The next building.
I didn't know it'd be so hard.
It's hard.
It's very hard.
(It instantly became dark.)
I think...
we'll both fail today.
- No. - I have a bad feeling.
No. It will work.
(Kyung Kyu staggers.)
Yes. On the right.
Try seven.
(You go now.)
(Answering)
Hello.
- Yes. - Can you see me?
- Oh, my. - What?
- Say you're singer Jay Park. - Wait.
- Jay Park. - Hello. I'm singer Jay Park.
- Oh, yes. - Ask who's in the house.
Who's in the house?
It's me and my brother.
Where's your mother?
She's on the way.
Have you eaten?
No, not yet.
- If not... - Tell her to call her mom.
- Call her mom to check. - Okay.
Can you call your mother and...
- Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Let's Eat Dinner Together...
- Can we shoot? - Can you ask her...
if we can shoot?
I will call her now.
- Okay. - In five minutes.
I will ring it again in five minutes.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Okay. You can call her again later.
She's in. Her mom's on the way.
We're halfway there.
(Sighing)
I think her mom went grocery shopping.
Right? There are two kids. It's perfect.
We don't have much time. If we don't go in now,
we'll be in trouble.
It's 7:20pm.
We only have 40 minutes left.
You know what, Ho Dong?
I can imagine Jay and me eating.
Right now...
With stir-fried spicy pork and all...
- Hello? - You got it.
Hello?
Ma'am.
(Barking)
This is Simon Dominic.
I'm Kang Ho Dong, born in the Year of Dog.
Ma'am.
Maybe the dog answered it.
(Barking)
Ma'am.
(They struggle to start the conversation.)
It didn't work.
- Now, let's check. - One more time.
(A man walks out.)
(Sliding)
- I'm from the second floor. - Yes.
Hello.
What did your mother say?
Your mother...
- What did your mother say? - What did she say?
(Please...)
(What will the young man say?)
- I'm from the second floor. - Yes.
Hello.
- What did your mother say? - What did she say?
Your mother...
She said no.
- She said no. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - You're buff.
Where's your mother coming from?
- She's far away. - I see.
- That's why. - There's not enough time.
- Go. - Thank you very much.
I'm hungry. I'm so hungry.
It's okay.
(Sighing)
Seriously. Am I not lucky or something?
After the quiet rejection, no answer continues.
Why aren't they home in this weather?
We've already had dinner.
- Right. - I'm sorry.
Did you have dinner?
We already had dinner.
We just finished dinner.
In fact, the golden time for dinner has already past.
(The golden time for dinner has already past.)
The beginning was grand,
but there's a bad feeling the end may be small.
We'll try.
The light's on on the first floor.
Let's try that one.
- First floor. - Yes.
(Simon Dominic tries the 1st floor.)
(Modest)
(It stops ringing.)
Hello...
Hurry up.
This way.
- Where are you going? - What?
Why are they entering?
That's ridiculous.
The important thing is whether they had dinner or not.
One second.
Take your time.
She knows us.
(Nervous)
It's the second try by the door.
This is so nerve-racking.
Seriously...
(He hopes it works this time.)
Then...
Hello.
- Hello, ma'am. - Oh, my.
Oh, you have a son.
- Oh, princess. - Hi.
Do you know the title of our show? Dining...
Gosh, my heart is racing now.
This is for the scenes of dinnertime.
We eat together,
chitchat, and listen to your love stories as well...
so that we can build good memories.
Here is the most important question.
Have you had dinner yet?
No, but this evening,
we're not having home-cooked meal.
My husband is buying gimbap and tteokbokki on his way home instead.
Then we could eat them.
The word "family" refers to people who eat together...
whether it's fancy or not,
so could you invite Simon Dominic and me in...
and become our family today?
Do you want to talk to your husband?
- Okay. - Good.
All we ate today was hot air.
- One moment, please. - Don't feel pressured.
- Okay. - Just rice and water would be fine.
Okay.
How beautiful it is.
(Will Simon Dominic finally succeed?)
- Since it's too hot today, - Please.
he suggested not to cook at home,
so on his way home...
Tteokbokki and gimbap.
he's buying gimbap and tteokbokki on his way home.
(They feel like they already succeeded.)
I like the snacks.
The snack swag.
Did they succeed? I don't think so.
(Did they succeed?)
If you're tired... Oh.
Since my husband is...
in a traffic jam,
- I think we can't invite you in. - I see.
(Her husband can't come back home soon.)
If he could come home soon, I could invite you, but...
I can feel your warm heart though.
- Well, I'm really sorry. - Thank you.
- Thank you for being nice to us. - Sure.
I really appreciate it.
I'm sorry I can't give you dinner.
- We'll get going. Thank you. - Bye.
- Snacks... - It can happen.
Thank you.
(They almost succeeded but failed eventually.)
That can happen.
- Ho Dong. - Yes?
Shall we do it this way?
Why don't we split up...
and meet here at 8pm if we fail?
- Shall we do it separately? - Yes.
- Since we don't have time. - It'll be better.
Then you can move now.
- I'll call you if we succeed first. - Okay.
- If you can't, let's meet here. - Okay.
- Let's meet at 8pm. - At 8pm.
We sincerely hope they won't meet here again.
(Kyung Kyu walks fast now.)
Kids, don't run.
You don't have to run. I'll go to your house.
He's fast.
(This kid has to run because of Kyung Kyu.)
(They try another line right away.)
Why aren't they answering?
- Their ages vary a lot, so... - Right.
Hello? Oh, no one answered it.
(Since he's too tired, he even hears things now.)
(No one is still answering.)
It's 15 minutes to 8pm.
Why are there so many empty houses?
(The residents are watching them struggling.)
When we come to an apartment,
they get to have a party watching us.
- Right. - Please give us a big hand.
(Cheering enthusiastically)
Somebody say ho.
- Ho. - Ho.
All the neighbors are here, but why aren't they answering?
Let's make it here.
We have to succeed here no matter what.
We can't go to another place anymore.
(This is the last building to them.)
(Exhausted)
(He's not eaten for 27 hours and 47 minutes.)
- Hello? - Hello.
- Okay. - I'm singer Simon Dominic.
Do you know who I am?
- Oh... - Pardon?
Excuse me,
but have you had dinner?
I'm a housekeeper here,
and the mistress is out now.
- Oh, I see. Thank you. - Thank you.
We don't have any choice.
Let's ask them if they have eaten first.
(They want to ask the direct question now.)
I'm sorry.
Ma'am, if it's past 7:30pm,
- we can ask people on the street. - Mom, please.
You're going to eat now, right?
- Mom. - Please don't get us wrong.
We're with Simon Dominic, the hip-hoper today.
Hip-hop means freedom.
- Though... - Look at the girls.
we met for a brief moment...
- Can I give this to you? - Yes.
- Will you eat with us as a family? - Come in.
- She let us in. - We made it.
(Ho Dong and Simon Dominic succeeded.)
- We're so lucky. - We made it.
It's 7:50pm.
- Which unit is it? - Which unit is it?
Which unit do you live in? On the 10th floor?
Do you want to go up first? Shall we go up later?
Okay. Thank you, ma'am. Let's make a good memory.
(Jumping)
We made it.
Simon Dominic, sit down.
It was so hard.
(Simon Dominic sits comfortably.)
- I can eat now. - Simon Dominic.
- Finally. - Let's eat.
Your hipbones are really hard.
- It hurts a lot. - It's because I lost weight.
When they're rejoicing over their success,
Kyung Kyu and Jay are...
(Looking haggard)
(Kyung Kyu and Jay are still ringing doorbells.)
Let's try the 10th floor.
(Ringing doorbells over and over again.)
Let's try the 10th floor.
A delivery man is here.
He's delivering food.
(The hyena spotted the delivery man.)
Which floor are you delivering it to?
To the fifth floor.
While you're delivering it,
please tell them we're from Let's Eat Dinner Together...
and ask them if they can eat with us.
- Okay. - The fifth floor?
(It's possible to ask people on the street after 7:30pm.)
I think we could make it.
They ordered boxed meals.
(Jay bumps into a resident coming back home.)
- Have you had dinner? - No.
- No? - Not yet.
- Which unit do you live in? - Unit...
Okay, I see.
- What is it? - You can ask her here now.
- Ask her. - Can I ask her now?
Could you have dinner with us?
Where is the sensor?
Could you?
(Does her nod mean yes?)
- I'll ask my mom. - Please ask her.
We'll ring your doorbell a little later.
The unit number is...
(He threw baits to two houses with 5 minutes left.)
Let's go up now.
Ma'am, please open the door.
You pressed our doorbell, didn't you?
Yes, we did.
We live on the third floor.
I wish you were having dinner with the housekeeper.
We came to have dinner now.
Gosh, we reserved another unit already.
We get to have many chances at the same time.
We do.
(They're sad to miss the chance.)
- Is this your husband? - Yes.
Nice to meet you.
Did you come down to have dinner with us?
- No. We were out. - We were out.
Our housekeeper called us.
That's right.
- We talked to her a minute ago. - Let's Eat Dinner Together...
I see. So we came here...
- as my wife wanted to see you. - I did.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Another family got the chance today.)
I think we were meant...
to meet anyway.
(They appreciate the couple's warm hearts.)
- Enjoy your dinner. - Thank you.
They look so nice.
- They do. - They're kind.
(It's time to go up indeed.)
Goodness.
I'm sorry, but my husband doesn't like this at all.
- Oh, I see. What should we do? - I got it.
- Okay. - Let's try the other unit then.
- The one on the third floor. - Bye.
We're still good.
Things are going smoothly.
Let's hurry and go up before they start to eat.
- Let's hurry. - Hurry up. What if they say no?
- They won't. They'll say yes. - We made it.
We made it.
When the lady came down...
and the door opened, I got goosebumps.
This is such a twist.
(Let's Eat Dinner Together is so real.)
I think we are meant to be with them.
It's amazing we met the couple at that moment.
(They're finally going up to meet them.)
It's more dramatic than a drama.
- I know. - It's better than...
getting invited down there right away.
- We parted ways. - We said,
"I'm sorry. We reserved another unit."
"That's too bad." But we get to meet again.
There must be kids. There is a stroller.
Here is a stroller.
- "Happy house". - "Happy house".
(We are happy too.)
The man and the lady...
Hello. Hi.
The thing is...
As for the house we reserved,
- the husband didn't want it, so... - Really?
I think we're destined to be together tonight.
The word "family" refers to people...
- who eat together. - Right.
Will you invite Simon Dominic and me in and be our family?
- Yes! - Yes!
(Ho Dong and Simon Dominic finally succeed.)
- Then please excuse us. - Okay.
(Their story tonight was like a drama.)
(They dramatically get invited at 7:54pm.)
Thank you so much.
How fortunate we were to meet you at the entrance.
- I know. Thank you. - Thank you so much.
I've watched you a lot on TV.
- Let's take time to chitchat. - Okay.
- Hi. - Thank you.
Hi.
What's your name?
- Kim Seo Won. - Seo Won?
Yes. How old are you?
- I'm 5 years old. - 5 years old?
Seo Won and Seo... I don't remember his name.
Seo Won and Seo Jun.
I got it. Won and Jun.
- Won and Jun? - Seo Won and Seo Jun.
That's right.
His wife looks young too,
but Simon Dominic, doesn't he look really young?
- He looks so young. - Thank you.
You even look like a college student.
- No, I don't. - You do.
Honestly, you've heard that often, right?
When I went to work in the morning,
my wife complained to me.
She said I was too old to wear ripped jeans.
You don't look old.
- Your wife did? - Yes.
- Because you look too young? - Well,
she told me not to wear them as I'm quite old now.
Before the dinner is ready,
- please be seated in the middle. - Okay.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
It's almost 8pm.
Are you having dinner later than usual?
We usually eat late.
My wife comes home late sometimes.
She give lessons to students.
So if the lesson ends late, she comes home late,
and if it ends early, she comes early too.
- She teaches in an academy. - Good job.
(He smiles like a daddy.)
I can notice there is a musical instrument in her vibe.
- In my opinion... - Can you do that, Seo Jun?
I think you should not try it.
Judging from her wrist snap while touching the eggs,
I think she plays the piano.
Oh, the piano.
I'm a harp major.
- Are you? - Yes.
Shall I show you a small harp?
Yes.
We don't have a big one, so I'll show a small one.
I can see a real harp now.
(A mini harp appears.)
(The harp is here. I'm excited.)
(Amazed)
- The strings may snap. - Try to play it, Seo Won.
- Gosh. - Can you play it, Seo Won?
- Don't, Seo Jun. - Come on.
You try it, Seo Won.
(After playing a few notes seriously...)
Mom, please tune it.
- Tune? - Tune? I need to cook first.
My goodness.
- I will... - It needs tuning.
- A five-year-old asked for tuning. - Right.
Have you lived long in Banpo?
- When we got married, - Did you move here...
- as newlyweds? - we moved here. Yes.
Her parents live near here,
so we came close to them.
- May I ask how old you are? - I was born in early 1980.
- In 1980? - Yes.
- You went to school with those... - Who were born in 1979.
- Then you're 40 in Korean age. - That's right.
Gosh, you look really young. He says he's 40.
She is one year younger than me.
- She is... - She looks like in her early 30's.
I can't believe it.
What do you do for a living?
I'm an accountant. 10 accountants chipped in...
- and made an accounting firm. - You made a firm?
(Amazed)
- It looks like he got good grades. - An accountant.
- He looks like a soccer player. - He does.
He looks like a good soccer player.
Thank you.
Seo Won, come here. Lie on your tummy here.
If you lie on your stomach, you can see your face. Look.
- Isn't it amazing? - I want to do it too.
- Come closer to look. - "I want to do it too."
- "I want to do it too." - Isn't it amazing?
(They fell for the camera.)
Make some noise!
(Screaming)
Make some noise!
(The cute three gathered together.)
Make it louder.
My name is Ho Dong.
- Say hello. - Hello.
You say hello so kindly. Can you give me a high-five?
(The big guy falls down due to the power of Seo Won.)
You're really strong.
I was surprised.
(She cracks up to see such a thing for the first time.)
One more time.
(And...)
(there is another person who likes it as much as Seo Won.)
(Laughing)
(He cracks up too.)
Shall we do it one more time?
(He can't keep his mouth closed.)
(The big guy reacts vigorously again.)
(They keep on cracking up.)
(She's expressing the joy with all her body.)
She is shrieking with laughter.
(That suits Simon Dominic's taste too.)
(One more time)
(The two guys crack up this time too.)
Let's see who's kissing me first. Kiss me quickly.
(They kiss Ho Dong to thank him for the good time.)
- She kissed me. - Gosh.
- Seo Jun, you kiss me too. - Are you going to kiss him?
(Kissing)
(Ho Dong feels happy to be kissed.)
Seo Jun, kiss your daddy.
(He kisses his dad too.)
You kissed me since there are cameras.
He's conscious of cameras.
(He kissed them thanks to the cameras.)
I can't believe Seo Won. She is so cute.
How can you endure the time when you can't see Seo Won?
- Me? - Yes.
When you have two children,
you miss them a lot,
- but right before I come home... - You feel scared?
Yes. I get scared. You know what I mean, don't you?
I feel somewhat scared.
Two kids make you feel pressured.
When you have the second child, the work doesn't increase twofold.
It has the multiplier effect.
- It's not twofold. - Due to the multiplier effect.
- Can you set the table now? - Okay.
Let's set it together.
No, it's okay. My children will do the job.
- It's here. - It's here!
(Making a fuss)
- Do you want to do it? - Okay.
- Can they do this? - Do it now.
- They may get hurt. - No. He said they can do it.
(Seo Jun can do it too.)
- It's done. - Yes!
I've never seen kids doing such a thing.
(Kim Seo Jun, 3 years old, an expert in unfolding table legs)
Simon Dominic, let's do something.
Let's move the dishes.
(Simon Dominic and Ho Dong start to move side dishes.)
(Gulping)
(He's not been eating for 27 hours and 59 minutes.)
Where is your office?
The lady starts to cook something for dinner now.
(She pours eggs for everyone with egg yolks intact.)
When the frozen meat thaws smoothly on a pan,
their fatigue and hardship of today melt away too.
(Golden brown)
(The dark color has a sheen.)
(Ho Dong is in charge of cutting the beef.)
What is this part? This meat looks so good.
(She pours kimchi and canned tuna onto the juices from the beef.)
Kimchi is fried with juices from the beef...
and canned tuna on the pan too.
(Ho Dong puts the half-cooked fried eggs on a plate.)
(He is careful.)
Ho Dong and Simon Dominic, the kitchen assistants who are...
well-prepared, are setting the table by putting food on dishes.
(She takes out many basic side dishes too.)
- You have to succeed by 8pm? - Yes.
Here is bulgogi.
(It looks so appetizing.)
Here is steak too.
(He is already touched.)
I haven't eaten at all so far today.
- Really? - I didn't have breakfast nor lunch.
I'm starving from 4pm yesterday.
- Are you dieting or... - No.
I had a meal at 4pm yesterday...
and kept working until early morning since then.
- I went to sleep and came here. - Because of your work.
So I haven't eaten anything yet today.
(He opens the rice cooker.)
(The freshly cooked rice will go really well with the side dishes.)
I will put the energy of the ssireum champion into the rice.
- You put some beans here. - Yes.
(He delivers the rice to the table too.)
(Steaming)
I want to take a picture of this.
- I can take a picture of it. - Can I take one to remember too?
- As a memory in your life? - Yes.
Since it's a hard-earned meal.
At the Happy House in Banpo-dong.
This is a meal for the couple...
with baby faces in Banpo-dong,
who gave them the thrill like a buzzer beater.
It's a meal high in protein and other nutrition...
that will energize their exhausted bodies and minds.
Please enjoy.
Thank you for the food.
- Enjoy the food. - Thank you.
(He's finally eating the first meal in 28 hours.)
Thank you. This meal means a lot to us.
(He takes a bit slowly.)
(Amazed)
(He only savors the taste of rice at first.)
(He tries bulgogi this time.)
(He puts it into his mouth carefully.)
(He is savoring it reverently.)
(The next target is...)
(young radish kimchi.)
(Chewing)
(It looks as if he would even feel the sweat of farmers who raised it.)
(He carries the egg carefully not to burst the egg yolk...)
(and puts the whole egg into his mouth.)
(As if there were only the egg yolk and him in this world.)
(He conquers every dish at a time.)
This is how Simon Dominic deals with precious food...
that he eats in 28 hours.
He is emptying the bowl as if it were his first meal in his life.
(His attitude is so reverent.)
Look at this. You remember I talked about young radish kimchi earlier.
You said you'd eat only young radish kimchi. So eat this one only.
(He is upset.)
I bet Seo Won's mom made this herself.
- It's kimchi made by Jongga. - She says it's Jongga Kimchi.
(The guru is not functioning well in the heat.)
You're losing your ability as a guru.
Is it made by that brand?
(Jongga makes great kimchi.)
- We eat it at a convenience store. - It's delicious.
(He shows his side as a big eater instead.)
(Munching)
I can't believe I'm watching it for real.
(One more bite)
It's like watching TV now.
I'm watching Ho Dong like a viewer now.
("How Big His Mouth Is")
Ho Dong feels dizzy even if he skips just one meal.
He's emptying the bowl as if this were his last meal in his life.
(Simon Dominic stops eating and watches him.)
(He takes a bunch of fried kimchi.)
(He pushes food into his mouth nonstop.)
(They empty their bowls in an instant.)
Would you like some more?
- Yes, I'd like some more rice. - Please give him more.
Wait a moment, please.
(He even picks up the last grain.)
I thought we were not meant to be together today, but...
(He reverently asks for a refill.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
(I saw a paradise today.)
(The bowl is refilled.)
(He starts his reverent eating show again.)
(Savoring)
- Usually, - Is it delicious?
- you can't eat with your kids? - Do you want something?
- Right. My kids eat first. - Let's eat together. No?
I guess you're relieved that her parents live near here.
Yes. My father-in-law does a lot of work for us.
You can rely on them a lot. You can feel at least reassured.
We're not just reassured. They actually help us a lot.
When we are busy working,
- They babysit our kids. - they take care of our kids.
- Do you want some water? - Do we have some fruit?
- Yes, we do. - It's okay.
- We don't need fruit. - I'm not done yet.
- I'm still hungry. - I guess he needs more rice.
- Please give a little bit more. - Do you want more rice?
- Give me your bowl. - I get to crave food.
- Is that your third bowl? - Yes.
I don't have time to have...
a decent meal while sitting like this.
In the middle of working,
I go out to eat and come back to work again.
I think you eat three meals at a time.
So I'm called Simon Three Meals at a Time.
(It sounds like a curse, but it's not.)
That's swag. It rhymed.
I will show it to you.
(Simon Dominic's "Three Meals at a Time" begins.)
All right.
- I am so happy. - The city's...
(It's his third bowl,)
(and he still takes the first spoonful reverently.)
Simon Dominic doesn't stop eating today.
(He's happy.)
Ma'am,
a harp became more popular now,
compared to the past.
But when you were learning it, it must've been very uncommon.
- My aunt played the harp. - I see.
I used to play the flute.
She suggested that I learn how to play the harp.
And it turned out I liked the harp better.
You thought...
the rhythm of the harp suit you better?
You can play the harp while eating.
What?
You have to use your mouth for flute, so you can't eat.
That's why I was very thin when I was playing the flute.
You eat while playing the harp.
To do it professionally,
you have to practice at least 7 to 8 hours a day.
- You can't eat during that time. - Right.
But when you play the harp,
you can play it with one hand and eat with another hand.
When you do this, your appetite increases.
It's just the right amount of exercise.
So you get hungrier.
Do hip-hop musicians...
Do hip-hop musicians have any habit?
Why do hip-hop musicians...
When they are about five years in, their manner of walking changes.
They always put their hand here.
(And they walk limply.)
Why do they walk like that? They pull down their pants too.
They always grab this part.
This is how I usually walk when I am by myself.
- I just walk like this. - Right.
It's because nobody looks at me.
You walk naturally like everyone else.
But when there are people watching me...
If I have a concert,
and there is the audience, I walk like this.
(He limps.)
(Limping)
(Hey, brother.)
I walk very slowly too.
You have to limp as if you are unwell.
You have to walk like someone with an injured leg.
- It's very strange. - But you can walk normally.
Usually I walk very normally like this.
When I go to a grocery store... "Hello, sir."
- But when it's a hip-hop event, - Hip-hop.
even my face changes.
(The polite son suddenly turns into a real gangster.)
My eyes change.
(The world of hip-hop is strange.)
- So that's what happens. - Yes.
That's the habit you got because of your job. Right?
I definitely got it because of my job.
And...
all hip-hop musicians have cell phones with broken screen.
- That's cool. - It has to be broken like this.
- Your phone screen broke too. - She wants me to change it.
I have never seen a hip-hop musician with a clean phone.
How did you figure that out?
I think they intentionally break it.
You drop it...
while walking limply.
(It's the side effect of the gangster walking.)
When you limp, your phone drops from your pocket.
Like Simon Dominic's phone,
they are getting broken too.
You have four minutes.
Should I call the family that was going to discuss about it?
Call them.
(They find a delivery man who is just leaving the building.)
They got food delivered, so they have nothing to give you.
(It's too bad.)
That's our only hope then.
(He hurriedly rings the doorbell.)
(Please)
- My mom... - Yes?
- says she can't do it. - Is that right?
Thank you.
We don't have time.
(They have no time to waste.)
(Scratching his head)
(He's devastated.)
(The hip-hop musician drops his head.)
The door is open.
What's going on?
- Who is it? - Hello?
The call has ended.
What?
They answered, right?
(Someone answered.)
(With hope, they call the same house.)
I am sweating a lot.
- Is that the right unit? - It is.
(It seems like they opened the door by mistake.)
(He cancels the call.)
(The call they make at 8pm will be their last call.)
We have one minute.
(He ran out of his swag.)
(He's in such a hurry that he ends the call immediately...)
(when someone doesn't pick it up.)
He's very fast.
(They have to call one more house before the time is up.)
Last one.
(In just 1 minute, they called 3 houses.)
(Will it...)
(end like this?)
The music is so sad.
(With the sad feeling,)
(the time is up.)
(The last house answered.)
Hello?
Hello, ma'am. I am Lee Kyung Kyu.
Hello?
Have you eaten, ma'am?
- Yes. - What?
- What is it? - Have you eaten or not?
We have eaten dinner. I am sorry.
What do we do?
We have to go to a convenience store.
(Kyung Kyu and Jay will go to a convenience store.)
Thank you.
(They feel dispirited.)
Let's go meet Ho Dong.
We got covered in sweat and didn't get invited in for dinner.
Pathetic.
- It is much harder than I thought. - It is.
It's sad.
- Jay. - Yes.
Ho Dong must've succeeded. We can't see him.
- Pardon? - We decided to meet here at 8pm.
They didn't come?
(Looking around)
- Perhaps they're hiding somewhere. - No.
I think I see Ho Dong.
(Ho Dong and Simon Dominic...)
(said they should...)
(meet there.)
(Where did they go?)
(Trudging)
I came on TV after a long break to have fun.
(I am sorry, Jay.)
We had to do this on the hottest day.
We didn't get dinner, so we're going to a convenience store.
Still, I am happy that I am here with you.
- Do you like drinking? - I do.
- Do you drink often? - I do.
- Why do you ask? - Just because.
I am craving drinks.
(Jay is craving drinks.)
I think we need to drink soju with cup noodles.
I starved all day to come here.
I didn't eat even one meal.
I never thought about the possibility...
- You never imagined it, did you? - of failing.
(Banpo-dong gave him a lesson.)
It's not easy, you see.
(Acting rashly is the recipe for failure.)
I think we got...
a good workout today.
We are walking so much today.
There's a convenience store.
- There? - Yes.
I think there would be nobody there.
Remember that store.
If we fail, we will come here.
- Right. We should come here. - We will come here.
It's there.
(They enter the convenience store Kyung Kyu had pointed out.)
- Hello. - Hello.
Where do people usually eat?
There are seats outside.
Do people eat outside in this heat?
- Yes. - Are there people?
(They will wait outside first.)
It's so hot.
Is there a time limit to this too?
- Until 9pm. - Until 9pm?
- We are done after that. - What time is it now?
It's 8:20pm.
8:20pm.
Isn't anyone coming here for some instant noodles?
We could persuade a passerby.
(He spots a passersby.)
(He's not interested at all.)
We are going to look very lonely.
We are sitting in front of a convenience store by ourselves.
(This is how you look.)
And the weather is so hot.
Have you ever eaten at a convenience store?
- I have. - Really?
When I used to live near Hongdae.
- After drinking... - After drinking.
On the way home, I stopped by a convenience store and had noodles.
Then I went home and went to bed.
At the time, I drank a lot and had a lot of instant noodles.
So my nice abs were gone.
There was a time like that.
- Have you eaten? - Yes.
- You've eaten? - Yes.
Aren't you craving some instant noodles?
- No. - No?
We are not strange people.
(We are sorry.)
I am hungry
- You're hungry, aren't you? - I'm hungry.
- We can drink water. - Water?
Thank you.
Let's fill up our stomach with water.
Have you eaten dinner?
Do you want some instant noodles?
- Pardon me? - Do you want instant noodles?
Where do you live?
- We live in Banpo-dong. - You live in Banpo-dong.
Did you eat instant noodles?
- Are you buying? - Please eat noodles with us.
You know the show "Let's Eat Dinner Together", right?
You will be on the show.
- Instant noodles? - What do you say?
- All right. - Okay. Great.
We are eating instant noodles.
- Yes! - We are eating instant noodles.
- Instant noodles. - Hey,
how much is one cup noodle?
Stay here. I will bring it for you.
My goodness.
- Are you college students? - Yes.
- Where are you going right now? - We were going home.
You haven't eaten dinner, have you?
- We haven't. - Have a seat.
Wait here. I will go cook some instant noodles.
Aren't you thirsty? Have some water.
(He provides them pre-meal drinks too.)
Don't go away.
They met the two young men from Banpo-dong,
who are like rain in times of drought for them.
They will have a meal together at a convenience store.
How much is this?
- I will check the price. - Please do.
I want to get one gimbap too.
Two of these...
It's 1.05 dollars each.
- This? - Yes.
Isn't there a cheaper one?
- How about this? - Check the price.
- Ask how much it is. - How much is this?
It's four dollars.
(It's exactly four dollars.)
(He's excited.)
We will get these two.
(He uses his teeth to peel the plastic.)
Have you not eaten?
Everything is going smoothly after meeting the two young men.
They are so hungry that they are hurriedly preparing the food.
Where is the microwave?
- Here it is. - What's that?
It's more delicious if you microwave it.
They have the know-how.
You have to stir it after one and half minute.
(That's the secret.)
- They have the know-how. - I know.
How long do you cook it for after stirring the noodles?
One and half more minutes.
That way, it tastes like it's been cooked on stove.
This is a great tip.
My superior at the military taught me this trick.
- Your superior at the military? - Yes.
We recently got discharged.
- Did you recently get discharged? - We were there at the same time.
- Where? - 27th Division.
(They served the army together.)
(They talk while the noodles are cooking.)
Where were you coming from?
We were going to the dorm after our part-time work.
- Do you work at the same place? - Yes.
We work at N Mall.
- After the work... - We were heading home.
You served the military together. How are you living together?
It's a long story.
Our superior from the army was working here.
And he got us this job.
- The job at the mall? - Yes.
Are you from the province?
I am originally from Gyeongsang Province.
- Where? - Gumi.
You're from Gumi.
- How about you? - I live in Suwon.
You came from Gumi. Where do you live now?
- Do you live together? - Yes, we live at the dorm.
The company's dorm is...
in Banpo 1-dong.
That's good.
If you lived in another town, we wouldn't have...
- been able to eat together. - Right.
We walk to work.
So we were hungry.
- They are perfect. - It was a destiny.
Okay. It's done now.
(The instant noodles are done.)
Let's take it to the table.
(They move the cup noodles, which will taste like...)
(they have been cooked on stove.)
We have to take a photo.
Let's Eat Dinner Together in Banpo.
(It was very hard to get these cup noodles.)
This meal turned...
fear of failure into joy of success.
It's one swag-filled meal.
It's very nice to meet you.
(Hollering)
I didn't eat anything all day...
to come out on this show.
But we failed, so I didn't get to eat anything.
(You must be very hungry.)
It looks great.
Cheers.
(He slurps the noodles after saying a chant.)
It's delicious.
It's really good.
I never tasted instant noodles that taste this good in my life.
(Cooling the noodles)
(He finally eats after 24 hours and 42 minutes of no food.)
After hard work, Jay tastes the best instant noodles of his life.
This meal is as luxurious as any other meals to him.
(Chewing)
(Drinking the soup)
Kyung Kyu the instant noodle lover...
realize that not all instant noodles are the same.
With the special instant noodles, the two young men...
satisfy their hunger on the way home from work.
(The instant noodles satisfy their hunger.)
You are really best friends, aren't you?
How did you become so close while serving the army?
- In the army... - We stayed in the same room.
We lived together and trained together.
That's how we became close.
You shared life and death, sorrow and joy together.
That brought you together.
He's such a good guy.
I sometimes become difficult, but he puts up with me.
He puts up with you even when you're difficult.
He looks like...
a very good man.
- He gives good impression. - Thank you.
What kind of work do you... What kind of work do you do?
- We are parking assistance staffs. - Parking assistance staffs.
- Yes. - When a car comes in...
and the driver gets out, you get the key.
That's valet parking.
We help customers find the parking lot entrance.
(They guide customers to the parking lot.)
- You stand outside. - Yes.
You tell them which way to go.
Are you doing it indoors?
Starting yesterday, I've been working indoors.
Until the day before that, I worked outdoors.
- Why? - Our position...
is not fixed.
We take shifts.
- You take shifts. - Yes.
That's really tough.
It's really hot.
It must be so hot.
Aren't you jealous of the people inside the air-conditioned car?
I'm jealous of them.
I bet you are.
What's the toughest thing about this job?
Getting tanned by the sun is one thing.
But I just can't stop sweating.
It's uncomfortable.
I can't take a shower in the middle of work,
so I have to keep wearing the clothes soaked in sweat.
It smells a little too.
(They are amazing.)
Are there any other difficulties?
Do the customers give you a hard time?
Some people are just really busy.
There are people who are more...
in a hurry than others.
So I just try to understand.
We are in service industry, you know?
We are providing service.
Don't some people talk rudely to you?
Some elders do.
But I just think of them as my grandparents and understand them.
(He tries to understand them.)
He's very positive.
Do you have a know-how?
I need to have an eye contact with the driver...
for him to understand the direction better.
I see.
You have to have the eye contact.
You look at each other.
(Not that way)
(This way, please.)
That must be so tough.
(You will get into trouble if you do that.)
When you are done working,
you must be left with...
- money. - Yes.
What will you do with that?
I majored in Russian.
I am working to study in Russia.
Are you going to make money and go to Russia?
I will learn the language there.
- "Thank you." - "Thank you.".
- "Hello." - "Hello."
Right.
- How do you know Russian well? - I know just two words.
Really?
"Hello" and "Thank you".
I am earning money to pay my college tuition.
I am going to save money with this part-time job...
and start attending college next year.
- Are you returning to school? - It's not a return.
I dropped out of the college I was attending.
I didn't like what I was studying.
So I will be studying what I want to study.
What were you originally studying?
I was studying about machines and cars.
But I will be studying about railroad in the new school.
(He went from machines and cars to railroad.)
Railroad.
I want to get a license and try driving a train.
I thought it would be better to give it a try.
(He decided to give it a try for his dream.)
- I am sorry, but how old are you? - I am 23.
- They are still young. - What?
- They are both young. - I'm 23.
He will get hurt if you react like that.
People usually think I am 30.
No. No. I thought you were 20.
What is your biggest concern?
(What is the biggest concern of the 23-year-olds?)
I'm worried about my career path.
I am not so certain about what I should do.
I am working hard,
but I am worried about the uncertainties.
(He's worried about the uncertain future.)
- How about you? - I...
My family situation...
is not very good.
So whatever I try to do,
I can't stop thinking about my family situation.
It makes me think too much.
It's a big concern for me.
As someone who's lived a longer life,
- why don't you give them an advice? - Right.
Honestly,
so many things I tried didn't go as I planned.
Even my family...
told me it wasn't for me.
- They thought it wasn't for you. - Even my friends...
said it was a bad decision. But...
I thought it was right for me, and I trusted myself and my guts.
I persisted until the end.
I wasn't going against everyone without any grounds.
I just trusted myself.
Even if the whole world was telling me it was not for me,
I told myself I could do it.
When I kept trying with that mentality...
(Jay practicing b-boying before the debut)
(Nobody knew I'd end up like this A street dancer became a singer)
(The profession chose me like a destiny)
(I easily got through the toughest moments)
If you don't give up, trust yourself,
and keep doing your best,
someday the uncertainties...
will turn into certainties, and it will get a hold of it.
But your current mindset is good enough.
- I agree with you. - There's no need to worry.
You are doing the part-time job to save up...
for Russia and for school.
They are already good enough.
- I think... - You shouldn't be worried.
When was the toughest time? Things must've been tough.
It's still tough for me. It's always tough.
- What? - It's still tough for me.
Today was the toughest, wasn't it?
(Today must've been the toughest day of his life.)
It's always tough. It's tough for everyone.
- Right. - But you have to...
cheer yourself up and get through the hardship.
You have to get through it.
You have great friends.
- It must be really helpful. - Yes.
The two young men in the military.
They became the greatest supporters for each other,
and they are getting through today together.
(Shine Muscat and macarons)
(She prepares desserts too.)
(She presses the button.)
(Coffee comes out.)
If she's a harp player,
she should be careful with her hands.
But she keeps working.
She should protect her hands.
They all have insurance.
Are your hands insured?
Only my instrument is.
Only your instrument is insured?
How expensive...
is an expensive harp?
- I heard a harp is very expensive. - No.
Small ones like this...
are for children.
It's about 500 to 1,000 dollars.
What my wife wants to do...
is making harp more popular.
She wants a lot of people to do it.
So she wants to change the preconception that...
- I don't want people to think that. - it's expensive.
It's only the big harps professionals use.
All experts must want their craft to be popular.
That's one of my goals too.
I just got these from a student's mother.
It's not just for... It's coffee.
This is very cute.
- It's special. - It's cute.
Did you go to college together then?
No. Her high school friend...
and my younger friend from college were friends.
My friend set me up with her.
When did you guys meet?
It was 2012.
In 2012? It seems like yesterday.
- That's when "Cheerz" was released. - You're right.
(He's a real fan who remembers the time his song was released.)
I thought he was very cool.
- You remember that? - That's nice.
That's when I was pathetic.
I was taking some time off.
Let's be honest about a girlfriend.
You can't say you don't have a girlfriend when you do.
Then I must say I have one even though I don't.
That's new. I have a girlfriend.
(I have a girlfriend.)
That's unique.
I really have a girlfriend.
I have a girlfriend indeed.
When you look for someone to date or to marry,
do you want to trust your instincts...
- or make conversations with her? - I want to have conversations.
When I start dating someone,
I just feel excited about it.
So I want to have conversations with the feelings...
and find out if I should marry her or not.
I have a little different opinion.
When I first met her, I knew I'd marry her.
- When you started dating her? - Yes.
- Where was it? - I wanted to marry her immediately.
Was it a coffee shop?
The place we first met?
(Curious)
I texted her before we went on a date.
And she asked me, "Do you want to meet tonight?"
It was late night.
(Excited)
- So I said yes. - That's so cool. I love that.
And she said she was watching a movie.
I asked what time it ends...
- and went to see her. - What time was that?
It was around at 10:30 or 11 pm.
- Was it that late? - Yes. So we met.
- I was with my friend. - Yes. She was with her friend.
So we went to a blues bar that her friends knew.
- Jazz. - We listened to jazz music there.
Then on our second date,
we had some meat and soju.
She seemed easygoing, and I liked that.
So you fell in love at first sight.
When we first met, it was late night...
and I was a little drunk.
And she looked the same even on our second date.
So you thought she'd be your lifetime companion?
I thought I should make her my lifetime companion.
Does that mean...
you are each other's ideal type?
She said I wasn't her type at first.
- When you first met? - Right.
- Why not? - Why?
I like someone who's prudent.
But he drank a lot on our first date.
- I was nervous. - I didn't understand him.
- I was drunk. - "What's wrong with him?"
- So I didn't like him. - It was your first date.
You didn't like him because he drank a lot on your first date.
Your friends must've said something about your husband.
What did your friends say?
It was a long time ago. I don't remember.
(I don't remember.)
This is strange.
I don't think they said good things.
They must've said, "He drinks too much."
(He drinks too much.)
Then why did you change your mind?
That's a good question.
We met a couple of times more after that.
He was different from what he looked like.
He looks a little careless and frivolous.
He doesn't look serious.
- I agree. - I liked him because...
he always told me what he was doing.
He texted me every time he went to work or to have lunch.
- He shared his daily life with you. - Yes.
He did that all the time. He told me whenever he went home.
He seems like he wouldn't go home.
You're very sweet.
I don't remember doing that.
Do you think your parents will answer the phone now?
- I'm not sure. - Call your parents now.
(He calls his parents.)
(There's no answer.)
- What? - There's no answer.
- Hello, Dad. - Hello?
- What? - I'm eating instant noodles now.
And this is Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Hello?
- What's wrong with the phone? - Hello?
- What? - Sir.
What's wrong with the phone?
Hello? This is comedian Lee Kyung Kyu.
- Lee Kyung Kyu? - Yes.
- Hello. - Do you know...
the TV show titled Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- Yes. - We just met...
- your son... - Yes?
at a convenience store.
So we had instant noodles together.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
- I see. - Your son is very nice.
- Is he nice? - Yes.
Do you know a singer named Jay Park?
- Yes. - Wow.
He's a rapper.
(Laughing)
He's with you?
- Yes. - Hello, this is Jay Park.
Hello.
Do you really know me?
Of course I do.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
So we've been talking with your son.
I heard he works part time...
to pay his tuition himself. I think that's so cool.
I want him to be strong.
- You want him to be strong? - You have an amazing son.
Sir, please say good things about your son.
(Shy)
Three good things about your son.
(Both the son and father feel shy to say such things.)
Seung Hun, my son.
- Please put Seung Hun on the phone. - Okay.
(Take the phone.)
Hello? Why?
You're handsome.
- And you're polite. - He's handsome and polite.
You have a strong sense of responsibility.
(His best friend agrees.)
- Everything about him is good. - I'm sure.
- Sir. - Yes?
What's disappointing about him?
He's not disappointing.
I knew it.
I'm just grateful that he's healthy.
I heard he's entering a new school to change his major.
Please say something to cheer your son up.
Seung Hun, good luck!
(Seung Hun, good luck!)
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, Dad.
Dad, take good care of your health.
- I love you. - I love you too.
Are you close with your dad?
- We're like best friends. - I can see that.
(The father and son are close like best friends.)
Lastly, we have something to do.
You need to say three compliments about your husband.
I'll give you a microphone.
- The husband should go first. - You go first.
- Let him speak first. - You should do that.
There must be about 300 compliments to say, but choose only 3.
Pick three things. What's first?
First, I'm grateful that she raises...
our two children very well. And secondly,
I'm kind of a nagging husband,
but she always listens to me.
Third, I'm just thankful that my beloved wife is with me.
You appreciate her being with you.
(He appreciates his wife being with him all the time.)
It's your turn.
He's always the same. He takes good care of our children.
I'm grateful that he plays with the kids more than I do.
I'm not busy these days.
Second, he works hard to make money for our family.
He just tries his best for his work...
even when he doesn't feel good.
I'm grateful for that.
(Getting emotional)
- What's the last one? - Third,
since we met... My gosh.
Why are you being like this?
I'm grateful that he's with me...
being healthy and happy.
That's touching.
(They reaffirm their love for each other.)
This is the touching moment I've only seen on TV.
It's nothing.
(Shy)
(He gets a call from Kyung Kyu and Jay.)
Do you want to see Kyung Kyu?
- It's Kang Ho Dong. - Kang Ho Dong?
- Say, "Where are you?" - Where are you?
Where am I?
He sounds a little drunk.
Ask him if he had dinner.
Did you have dinner?
I just had dinner.
Does that mean they succeeded?
Ask him if he succeeded.
Did you succeed?
What do you think?
I think you succeeded.
Say hello to her.
Hello.
- It's a convenience store. - Really?
Did you fail to have dinner in Banpo-dong tonight?
I said I just had dinner.
I just saw instant cup noodles.
Really? We just had dinner...
at a fine dining restaurant. On the terrace.
1, 2, 3.
(They reveal the fine dining table.)
(It's a convenience store.)
I knew it. They're eating instant cup noodles.
Why did you fail?
We're even having coffee now.
I'm glad that you guys succeeded.
We're at a convenience store in Banpo-dong.
We had instant cup noodles with the guys who work part time here.
So it's a half success.
We succeeded.
I don't like it.
Seo Won, say success after counting to three.
1, 2, 3. Success!
Success!
(Kyung Kyu and Jay gained a half success.)
Come here, Seo Jun.
(Seo Won starts to play the harp after dinner.)
(Mi, fa, sol, la, si, do)
(She plays the harp with her little hands.)
- Good job. - Good job.
- Say bye. - Say bye.
- Bye. - Good job.
Now, say your mom's going to play.
- Mom's going to play now. - You can sing then.
Let's sing now.
- Yes. - Go.
(Twinkle twinkle)
(Little star)
Dance.
(Brilliant sound of the harp and Seo Won's cute voice)
(The beautiful harmony embroiders the night in Banpo-dong.)
(With "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star",)
(they also wash the dishes shine.)
(Washing them clean)
(Shining)
(How I wonder what you are)
How cute.
That was beautiful.
Come here, Princess.
Look over there.
Look.
Look over there.
Happy House in Banpo.
- In Banpo, Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.
They met the 167th family for Let's Eat Dinner Together in Banpo-dong,
and had a meal with dreaming young men in a convenience store.
Thank you for...
visiting our happy house.
- Go, Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Go.
I was able to make good memory with my friend far away...
thanks to Jay Park and Lee Kyung Kyu.
Thank you.

(Let's Eat Dinner Together)
- Well done. - Good job.
We still met those guys.
It was very nice.
- They were great. - I know.
When I was eating instant noodles,
- I almost cried. - I know.
It was nice. It was valuable.
- Really? - Yes.
I've noticed the spirit of a hit.
- Simon Dominic the star. - "Simon Dominic the star?"
- Simon Dominic the star. - Simon Dominic the star.
