(What kind of combination is this?)
(Sam, N, Sam, Sam)
(His Korean is perfect!)
(This foreigner takes the lead of today's show from the beginning.)
(He's even concerned about Koreans' airtime.)
You do realize they are the foreigners...
taking care of your airtime, right?
(Do the foreigners take over all of the airtime? No!)
I'm N, the leader of Vixx, and you should know more about me.
("Shangri-La" by Vixx is regaining attention.)
("Shangri-La" by Vixx is drawing everyone's attention.)
He will be humble at the end when we say goodbye.
(Embarrassed)
(Are we not here because of our names?)
- I'm pretty. - I'm the funniest one here.
(This is the war of the airtime under their own names.)
("Sam, N, Sams" begins now!)
If you read my name backwards, it's Jin Gook.
I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, but...
it's not wrong to say I'm Jin Gook, a genuine person, in this field.
- He's actually right. - I agree with him.
He is pretty genuine.
- Do you guys actually mean that? - Of course.
Whenever younger ones call my name, Jong Shin,
I get surprised.
I'm living in your prison of love, sentenced to life, like my name,
- Jong Shin. - Is there no parole?
- I don't think there is. - My name is Gu Ra.
If I explain the meaning again, it means a beautiful mouth.
Here at Radio Star,
I shall spread the words from...
my beautiful mouth.
Actors have a lot of names.
Gyun Woo, Dal Ho, Duk Moo,
- Ra Joon Mo, and this time, - Kim Ja Hong!
- I was Kim Ja Hong. - That's right.
But my favorite name these days is...
Che Tae Hyun, the DJ of Radio Star.
It's difficult to find out if we are saying truth or not.
But your fun is guaranteed when you watch our show.
This is a high-end and anti-boredom music program, Radio Star.
(Radio Star)
Today, we'll meet Australian Sam, Korean Sam,
Ghanaian Sam, and the conjunction, N.
This is "Sam, N, Sams" special.
This is too...
- I know, it's just playing words. - That's what I'm saying.
Five years ago, he made everyone laugh at his appearance on our Show.
He was even on "Real Men".
With his role, "Clumsy Soldier", he stood out in the show business.
By the time that role got a bit boring, he began...
the parenting show with his son, William, and it's successful.
The entertainment show genius, the number one foreigner comedian,
- Sam Hammington! - Welcome!
Congratulations on having your second son!
- You are not coming in yet. - Not now.
Is he trying slapstick?
(The entertainment show genius would try something like that.)
He was quite funny on Radio Star in the past.
Because of Radio Star, he got cast in "Real Men".
Then he hit a slump.
On "2017 MBC Music Festival", "Shangri-La" aired, and...
it was even performed at "IOC Opening Ceremony" in Pyeongchang.
Can you understand that part though?
- No, I can't. - I know, right?
What does "Shangri-La" mean?
- That's the name of the song. - Oh, I see.
- Is it not a person's name? - No, it's not.
- You didn't know either. - I was reading it, and...
- I thought, "What is this?" - I wasn't sure...
what I was reading then.
I wanted to see Jong Shin's reaction about that.
He didn't even try to understand. I know him.
This boy grew up and became the leader of the nation's beloved idol.
- Do you remember this part? - I do.
He's N of Vixx, the 1st group to regain attention in 2018.
(Vixx is the 1st group to regain attention in 2018.)
He is a nature-friendly chef, who doesn't use MSG.
Well, he did the same in the entertainment shows,
and he's been always in the background. How sad is that?
He should have bluffed a bit.
I hope you add some MSG to your stories in entertainment shows.
He's a friendly man you want to make fun of.
He is Kim Hee Tae at home, but he is Sam Kim when he's cooking.
Once, he didn't know anything about Korea.
But now he's looking for Korean food even in Ghana.
He's reached the peak again thanks to his mom these days.
It's been 10 years being in Korea, and his Korean name is Oh Chul Hee.
- This is Sam Okyere! - Welcome!
- Welcome! - Hello.
Welcome, Sams.
- Sam, N, Sam, Sam. - Sam, N, Sam, Sam!
- Sam, N, Sam, Sam! - How do you do?
Did you just say, "How do you do?"
That's a bit old school.
So you guys are, "Sam, N, Sams".
Please say hello to the viewers, Sam Hammington.
Hello, I'm a father of a boy,
who's less than two years old, and also more popular than me.
This is Sam Hammington.
You just had your second born.
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
Are you still running the cupcake place?
No, it's been a while since it went out of business.
He had this pretty cupcake place in Itaewon.
- Really? - Yes.
I tried it, but it was too sweet.
- I've heard that quite a few times. - Right.
- It was too sweet. - You can be honest now...
- because he closed the shop. - It was good though.
If it's not too sweet, people do say it's missing something.
N?
Hello, I'm N, the leader of Vixx. You should pay attention me today.
- He's the leader of Vixx. - Here comes the friendly man.
Hello, I'm the nature-friendly chef.
And surprisingly, it's my third appearance on Radio Star.
- What? - He's been here three times!
- Is that real? - How?
How can we not recall anything?
Sam Okyere?
Hello, this is Won Bin of Ghana.
- Thanks to my mom, I'm here again. - Won Bin of Ghana...
- I'm Sam Okyere. Hello, everyone. - Right...
- Because of "Mom's Diary"... - I love what you are wearing today.
Thank you.
- That's like... - That looks British.
You know the dressing gown at some fancy hotels...
And he's carrying one of those!
It's for the massage.
- It looks like that kind of dress. - All right.
Weren't you guys...
on the TV show, "Island Village Teacher", together?
They were called Australian Sam and African Sam.
- They are a good pair. - We really are.
He did so well then.
So I introduced him to the management company I belonged then.
I suggested them to sign with him.
- He did something big for me. - Are you still in the same company?
- Yes, we are. - Who's in that company?
Not only Sam and I are there, William's there too.
- William? - The baby?
- Yes, he's there. - Well...
- Bentley is there too. - Really?
- My second born belongs there too. - Oh, I see.
Did William sign the contract too?
- That's now what it is. - He's a star. He should.
Three of us are always together anyway.
I'm sure he didn't even know he was signing up.
Actually, when we think about Sam these days, we think about William.
- That's true. - It just naturally comes up.
I was quite jealous about that at first.
He's only several months old and he was more popular, you know.
- He's just a baby! - That can hurt your ego.
Of course, he's been around for more than 10 years.
If you look at the number of followers on his SNS account,
William's is about 700,000, while mine is about 200,000.
- 200,000 doesn't sound small. - So...
- That's not a small number. - Without William, it could be less.
- That's actually true. - William made that record too.
Is there any special talent you do to make William laugh?
- There are some. - Show us.
- What? - I would love to see that.
- That's a bit... - He loves to do this kind of jokes.
I just kiss him a lot.
He loves that. Do you want me to show you that?
- You can do that too Gook Jin. - No, I will show you, Gu Ra.
- I'm okay, just... - It's okay. I'll show you.
- You said you wanted it. - I mean...
I'll be in this position.
You cute little thing!
(Kissing)
(Loving it so much)
You are enjoying that so much!
- He has that reaction too! - Really?
It felt a bit rough and nice.
Gu Ra haven't had any kind of physical interaction these days.
What are you talking about?
As I know, you use your shortened name like Sam for Samuel.
William is Willy. However, in Korea,
it's Liam or Am, right?
- That's a bit... - Is that even...
- William is... - It's Am!
Isn't that what you say between sentences?
That's how it goes.
- William is... - When you have nothing to say,
- You say, "Um..." - "Um..."
Look at him. Are you acting in a play or something?
That's such good acting.
- He got better, right? - That was surprising.
- That was like a proper actor. - That was cool, Sam.
Hi, my name is, "Um..."
- Goodness. - Hilarious.
He's good at Korean comedy.
- He is really good. - Well,
since foreigners are lightening up the mood,
Koreans became quiet.
You guys should try something too.
Those foreigners can't stop talking in Korean.
To be honest,
I'm a bit suspicious about Sam Kim.
I'm wondering if he thought...
it will be easier for him because of two foreigners showing up today.
- I see. - But he's in an awkward situation.
He's a bit confusing. He is like a foreigner and also a Korean.
- It's a bit ambiguous. - What is?
I don't know what he is.
He is Korean!
Why are you even curious about that?
Nothing's confusing here. He is Korean.
He's Korean and not that talkative.
(Kim Hee Tae, 42, a quiet Korean)
Okyere, you're doing well these days thanks to your mom, aren't you?
She and I appeared on "Mom's Diary".
While we were filming it, we somehow started talking about Ghana.
The production staff said, "Should we visit Ghana?"
I thought they were joking.
Anyway, so I had to go to Ghana to sort out my own stuff.
And then they contacted me while I was there.
- "Are we going to Ghana?" - That's right!
That really happened!
- "Are we going to Ghana?" - "Are we going to Ghana?"
I really thought that was a joke!
You do know how to react to my joke!
Did you see that? His reaction was perfect.
He got so much better at that.
Did you see how fast he was?
As soon as I said, "Are we going to Ghana?"
- He said it like it was his joke. - I know!
- I did take that pretty well. - You did.
- So what happened in Ghana? - So we filmed in Ghana...
with my mom.
And they found out how hilarious she is.
Since she's such a fun person,
they thought it would be a nice idea to invite her to Korea.
- That's how it happened. - Of course,
I've wanted to invite her to Korea.
- Oh, right. - However,
since she was invited to the show, I didn't have to pay anything.
I couldn't be happier about that.
I was grateful about that.
She really enjoyed filming here too.
- Is she still here? - She's...
- not here anymore. - She must be in Ghana now.
Well, my dad can be really jealous about it.
So she had to go soon.
(His dad wanted her to come home as soon as possible.)
I have to say...
your Korean has been improved a lot.
- I have to study more. - By the way,
it's only foreigners who are talking at the moment.
They are really not doing anything.
I thought everyone was a foreigner but me.
- Sam Kim is... - I mean, his name is Sam Kim.
So I thought I will be able to speak a lot because they are foreigners.
I mean, I'm good at talking too.
I've hosted some shows too.
So I was confident about talking a lot.
But they are just so good at it.
You haven't seen any of the shows we were in, I guess.
(It's hard to beat him even once.)
Please talk to Sam Kim. He's not saying anything.
- We'll do that soon. - He'll talk soon.
Are you taking care of him now?
He's taking care of him.
The foreigners are taking care of...
Koreans' airtime!
It's his fourth time being on this show.
Please take care of him.
- It's the 3rd. - Oh, it's the 3rd time.
- Right... - N,
you performed at "IOC Opening Ceremony for Pyeongchang Olympics".
I did.
Is there a song called "Shangri-La"?
- "Shangri-La"? - It was our title song.
We don't know about that song at all.
Well, I thought that was a musician's name.
That means paradise in Korean.
- It's where peach blossoms are. - Oh, I see.
It's like a beautiful paradise.
We performed it at the "2017 MBC Music Festival"
Somehow it became very trending.
We got many compliments saying, "They are really good."
"This idol group really tries to spread the beauty of Korea."
It became a big thing. So the president and IOC thought...
it was a good idea to invite us.
So we performed at the ceremony.
The president of IOC, Thomas Bach, saw our performance too.
He thought it was amazing too.
So he invited us again...
to the dinner party.
I thought they rented somewhere like a Chinese restaurant or something.
But it was actually bigger than that.
There were the princesses and princes...
from all over the world.
From where?
I thought it was where Mr. Bach invites everyone he knows.
And we have some sweet and sour pork or something.
- It can't be like that. - I...
You cannot just have meatballs at IOC's dinner party.
Sam, you don't even drink alcohol,
but you went to Italy to study wine.
- Lately, - Do you not drink at all?
I don't drink at all.
But since my job is to cook,
I always wanted to study wine.
It's one of the genres of food anyway.
So I should know about it.
There's a slight difference between knowing it and not.
- That's true. - Though it's the same kind of wine,
it can taste different depending on the soil that grew grapes.
- When you use it for food, right? - Of course,
you can find the difference in taste when you use it for food.
But it's more about which wine you drink with which food.
Are you serious?
You don't really taste the wine to use it for cooking.
- I... - You don't even use a lot for that.
He's not talking about marinating meat in wine.
Why would he go to Italy to learn that?
Do you import wines directly?
No, I don't.
- You buy them through the company. - Yes, that's right.
If you are not going to import it directly, why did you go to Italy?
You could have gone to Gangnam to taste them.
He's asking if that was just to get a paper of certificate.
That's not it.
- "I went to Italy to study wine." - Customers can be...
- He wants to show off that fact. - That's not...
The foreigners smelled something from you.
(He can't do anything about it.)
Actually, it's a good thing that they are doubting me so much.
I can talk a lot thanks to them.
He can talk a lot now.
That's what you can go for at least.
(His strong will to talk a lot and not to be in the background)
What's the trend of pizza in Italy these days?
It's...
- Is that even a thing? - Of course.
- Napoli is... - There's definitely a trend.
- Napoli is famous these days. - There's a trend, right?
Italian cuisine is affected by American cuisine a lot these days.
- Do they use think dough? - No, it's thin.
But they use toppings like French fries.
- That's not very Italian. - No, that's not.
I was very surprised by that.
Sam, I was really surprised though.
I remember you were here once.
But you are saying it's your third appearance today.
When the producer called me.
I said it's a nonsense if I come here again.
"I ruined it twice already!"
"Why do you want me to suffer?"
- That's not... - Well,
Sam, if your name was James, you wouldn't have been here.
You are here because you are Sam.
Because it's the episode for Sams.
- You are here because of your name. - At first,
I really was going to reject it.
It just doesn't feel like my place.
I said that last time too.
Whenever I'm on Radio Star, I'm like a nice background.
I feel like I'm just part of the interior design.
I really didn't think about coming here. And I heard it's for Sams.
I said it's a nonsense.
I really didn't want this,
- but they kind of insisted. - Well...
Do you think it's a good idea to be here today then?
It doesn't seem that bad actually.
(He's not the background anymore at the third attempt.)
Four years ago, Okyere went back home...
after watching Choi Yeo Jin's body shape for a while.
- That's true. - Right...
From the beginning to the end, his eyes are just like this.
I don't know if you noticed,
but he was really staring at you like this while you were talking.
(He's just smiling at harsh jokes.)
I heard Sam Hammington said something about it to you.
He absolutely did. He always monitors the shows I'm in.
As soon as he watched it, he called me.
"You shouldn't be like that at the show like Radio Star."
- What should you do then? - "You should just attack."
That sounds about right.
He told me to attack everyone.
It doesn't matter how old the other person is.
- What? - Who talked about the age?
I didn't say that.
You did!
I didn't say he should attack everyone despite the age difference.
You don't even care about age in your cultures.
Why would you say that?
We don't really have that concept, you know.
- But he said so. - I...
"You should keep your airtime!"
(He got so much better.)
He wanted me to do everything that's funny.
If you actually do everything, that might not air at all.
But...
- What did he say? - Well...
you can always describe things one by one.
The word you just said is not a term that can be aired.
We do use it in real life sometimes though.
I never thought I would hear something like that from a Ghanaian.
(Sam Hammington's words were actually very effective.)
The foreign entertainers share some reference points...
with each other. Ida Daussy was one of them.
Robert Holley was also the reference.
Now it's Sam Hammington.
He's now at that level.
- A lot of people... - There are some reference points.
A lot of them say they want to be like Sam Hammington.
- He's like a role model now. - That's right.
He's such an important person to everyone now.
After William was born, he's also in the parenting show.
It makes a lot of foreigners in Korea to think like,
"I didn't know that could be an opportunity!"
- That's cool. - Oh, I see.
- Wait, - An opportunity!
- What kind of opportunity is that? - Well...
It's a bit...
- It feels like his attacking me. - I don't think so.
If I say you are like a grumpy old man, it could have been an attack.
- But I didn't say that. - He didn't.
Do you think he is a grumpy old man?
No, I don't think so.
(Sam versus Sam)
Actually,
I'm a bit curious why nobody's asking this.
I don't think it's normal.
- Sam, you hurt your fingers, right? - Yes.
Why are we not asking him about that?
What happened?
I removed a metal pin from it.
You should ask him about something like this.
- What? - Did you not look at that?
You could have just asked that.
Why did you have to ask us why we are not asking him?
He just gave too much meaning to his question.
- Why did you have to... - That's what you should ask!
- You could ask like you just did. - Nobody cared.
What happened? Was it painful?
It was just...
It only took 15 minutes for that operation.
Why did you have a metal pin there?
I broke it some years ago.
It was really bad, so they had to put a metal pin in it.
I'm wearing a ring too.
(All of a sudden)
I bought it at Insa-dong. Why are you not asking me about it?
- Why didn't you ask him? - I should have, but...
Who did you spend time with for entertainment shows lately?
(He's amazingly good at cutting in.)
- Can I talk too? - Of course, you can.
Can you guys take care of us too?
- We can. - Of course, we can.
- You should learn more about this. - You have more time.
It's my first time to be here today.
- That's not a problem. - You can talk.
I'll tell you this.
If you are not funny,
they can just edit you out completely.
- Don't be pressured too much. - You shouldn't feel that way.
Take it easy.
It's a Korean TV show.
Why are Koreans getting educated by foreigners now?
Even though you keep talking and talking, it'll all edit out.
(Confused)
You should say everything you want.
Who taught you that?
(Gu Ra's confused too.)
When N is nervous,
- Now it's N's turn. - N becomes...
extremely confident without any reason to be that way.
When we called him before shooting, he said,
"I don't know about the Sams,"
"but don't you think they would know who I am?"
That's how it works.
I haven't seen N before.
It's my first time seeing him too.
- Nobody knew who you were. - Really?
- We met there last time. - We did!
Did you know about N, Okyere?
Look at his face!
- He knows your face, not your name. - I only know his face. Right.
I also go by N of Vixx and Cha Hak Yeon.
- Cha Hak Yeon? - Cha Hak Yeon? I see.
I'm famous when I combine my fans who know me by N and Hak Yeon.
- I've never heard of Hak Yeon. - I've never heard of that name.
(He finds N adorable.)
What kind of image does Hak Yeon have?
- He's gentle. - What about N?
- He's like a kind churchgoer. - Okay.
- My gosh. - N is more on the sexy side.
He's overselling himself.
(His confidence explodes.)
I filmed a drama with a member of Vixx.
- Right. - He filmed with Hong Bin.
- Was it Rabi? Or Lava? - A drama?
- You mean Ravi? - You know whom I mean.
- Lava is an earthworm in a cartoon. - There's a member named that.
- They are earthworms. - Someone's name is Ravi.
Isn't Ravi the funny one?
I'm the funniest.
(He's firm.)
- How can he be so sure of himself? - Is he bragging?
- No, no. - He's talking himself up.
- Ken joined my monthly project. - That's right.
- When you worked with Ken, - Okay.
I thought that the vibe of the title track...
suited me better than Ken.
- Really? - "Why is it Ken? It should be me."
- Ken is a great singer. - I see.
Your CEO recommended that I work with him.
- Really? - Is that so?
- He told me that he recommended me. - He said that?
Really? So...
You are the leader. He wanted to give you an ego boost.
- Ken is a better singer than me. - Don't you agree?
- Right. - I get that he's a good singer,
but he said he's the funniest. Why don't we keep an eye on him?
So far, we haven't found any funny side yet.
- We must keep our eyes on him. - Right.
We just can see that you're confident.
I'm good at speaking logically on some variety shows.
- He said that himself. - I get that you're a good speaker.
- You're good at talking. - Sam's face...
When N talked,
Sam thought N was more boring than himself.
(He puts words in Sam's mouth.)
- He thinks he's funnier. - You saw right through Sam.
(You are truly the best host.)
- Is that true? - No, that's not true.
- No, right? - No.
- There are a lot of good things. - N is somewhat gentle.
I'm good at choosing vocabulary too.
- He would suit early morning shows. - Good at choosing vocabulary?
- He's a witty talker. - But I thought...
(Witty)
You're indirectly hinting we should move on.
He meant that we should move onto another topic.
- He's indirectly pressuring us. - My gosh.
- He wants to move on. - A foreigner praised his Korean.
(Was he complimenting or criticizing?)
Sam Hammington treasures Okyere like his real younger brother,
but Hammington said Okyere greatly disappointed him.
- It hurt him deeply. - Yes.
You said you couldn't sleep because of it. Explain it to us.
(Sighing)
- He's setting up the mood. - Sadness is surging through him.
He looks serious.
He's from "Gag Concert". Acting is a second nature to him.
That's right. He's good at skits.
- Look at him tearing up. - There will be a twist.
I got married in 2013.
- Okay. - In 2013.
We held the Korean traditional wedding for two hours.
- It was the traditional wedding. - Hey, Sam.
It was quite a long event.
Since I was very busy that day,
I couldn't do a lot of things, let alone eat a meal.
Since we set up a buffet at my wedding,
he ate like five plates of food.
I can look through the cash gifts for wedding.
- He didn't pay a single penny. - He didn't pay at all.
- That's why you were disappointed. - So I was...
- I actually... - I didn't know about the culture.
- I actually brought this up. - Let's listen to his story.
- I said, "Sam, when in Rome," - That wasn't right.
- "do as the Romans do," - Right.
- "and pay at weddings in Korea." - That's right. He ought to.
- The amount isn't of importance. - That's right.
Sam apologized...
- and said he'd buy me a belt. - I see. A belt.
But I haven't seen that belt at all.
I could actually let that slide.
- It was William's birthday party. - William's birthday party.
- He came to the party too. - Okay. What happened?
At his birthday party...
This grudge lasts for two generations.
- At that party... - He shouldn't do that to William.
He can't say that he didn't know about the culture again.
He didn't give a cash gift at his party again.
- This is... - My agency's CEO got married.
I reminded him to make sure that he gives the CEO the cash gift,
but he said that he already gave the CEO the cash gift.
When the agency's CEO got married, he gave the cash gift,
- but he gave me one neither... - That was your fault.
- for my wedding nor birthday party. - I see.
- You must explain this. - Thinking back, he's right.
- I learned about it a bit later. - We...
I heard after I finished eating that...
- I was supposed to pay. - You were supposed to pay.
- I was going to pay the next time. - You should've paid at the party.
I didn't know that that applied for birthday parties too.
I've never been to the baby's first birthday parties.
- That was a different occasion. - I see his point.
I thought of bringing a gift.
- You missed your window. - I...
- I missed my chance. - Right.
Sam loses and gains weight frequently.
- Belts weren't in his size. - I see your point.
(He's the best at playing innocent.)
Sam Okyere, you wanted to chat in Korean when you were in Ghana.
After living in Korea for a few years,
time to time, I forget some words or sentences...
- in my native language. - You'd get confused.
When that happens, I just speak Korean.
When I get angry,
- Korean swearing is very fitting. - Right.
Then I'd curse in Korean when I'm in Ghana.
(King Sejong is touched by his love of Korean.)
Do you think in Korean?
- There's an order. - There is? I see.
Korean, English, and my native language.
- That's the order now? - Yes.
Here's the funny thing. When there's a Korean next to me,
I think my thoughts in Korean first,
- but when I'm with a Ghanaian, - You think in your native language.
- it's my native tongue. It changes. - What about your dreams?
- He can compete against... - Right.
- Korean TV personalities. - He made that happen on his own.
At first, the focus was that you were a foreigner, but not anymore.
The important thing is that there are a lot of foreigners on TV now.
- That's so true. - "Welcome, First Time in Korea?"
The competition has gotten intense now.
If I lose my spot, it will be gone quickly.
- That's why... - You're trying to keep your spot.
- Yes, I'm trying. - It's competitive among you guys.
We don't discuss it among ourselves, but it is evident.
- The competition is high. - Is that so?
- N, this is about a variety show. - Yes?
- Did you and Gu Ra work together? - Yes, we did.
You commented that you and Gu Ra didn't work well together.
- That's what you said. - That happens. It's possible.
- It was "The Geeks". - I see.
- "The Geeks". - That guy was funny though.
- Are you talking about Ken? - Yes, he was a funny guy.
Ken is funny because he has a lot of special talents.
I'm good at having conversations.
- Okay, let me remind you this. - You're a good conversationalist?
- Yes. - That's his strong suit.
- I'll look forward to your talks. - But...
- But the thing with him is that... - A foreigner is being sarcastic.
(However, he does have high self-esteem.)
When I star on variety shows, I memorize the scripts.
I memorize the scripts.
- That was your mistake. - No, no.
- The guys said you shouldn't. - That's why you messed up.
- I'm glad you're discussing this. - You don't need to memorize them.
Out of respect for the writers...
who worked hard to write those, you must read it through once,
- but don't follow it completely. - My gosh, listen to him.
- That's right. - That wasn't the point.
- I was on the show. - Did you steal my brain?
(A thief who stole Gu Ra's heart)
He's a quick-study.
I'd memorize the scripts. I must say a few lines to inform the viewers.
That's essential.
When I see lines that I am supposed to say on the screen...
and hesitate, Gu Ra would say the lines...
- even though they were for me. - Those were your lines?
- Yes. - He said your lines?
- So... - It happens often on my shows.
When that happened,
- I thought Gu Ra didn't like me. - No, that's not true.
I didn't let this bother me anymore...
when Gu Ra recognized me in the lobby and said hi.
- It means he remembers me. - You're easy to please.
(His disappointment disappeared quickly.)
Gu Ra was one of the hosts on "Three Wheels" too.
I didn't have any control over that show.
- I was just a puppet. - But...
- I do understand that. - I really was.
- I realized that... - I'm sure you know.
it was a hard show to be on...
- You bet. - because...
- the microphones weren't turned on. - That was a difficult show.
- They weren't turned on? - The microphones weren't on?
- I mean... - There were too many guests.
There's a limited number of microphones they can turn on.
- Mixer wasn't on for everyone? - No.
- Really? - I'd continue to talk in the back,
but no one could hear me because my microphone was off.
It was a turbulent period.
(Laughing)
You should tell viewers about that.
I was perplexed since that was my first variety show.
- Five people were in the back row. - You started with a tough one.
All five of them were talking,
but no one's microphone was on.
- It was like a brooch. - Yes.
(It was an accessory.)
- Let me tell you why that happened. - I didn't know about that.
- I never heard about that. - Kim Kwang Kyu was on the show.
And so was Sunwoo Yong Nyeo.
They would answer their phone during the shoot.
"Okay. I'll call you later." This would happen.
- You heard about this, right? - That's so true.
Since they had private talks among themselves,
they wouldn't keep the microphones on.
- I'm telling you this now. - So at that time...
I was going to take this to the grave.
- I'm only telling you this now. - They were turned off.
- I was never going to say this. - Seriously.
- Everyone just kept talking. - That did happen. Right.
When the sound crew doesn't change batteries, it means yours is off.
They didn't change even once.
The microphone wasn't on.
(N's microphone is revealed to have been an accessory.)
For today's show, three Sams and a conjunction...
are joining us.
The conjunction is right in front of us.
- You're watching Radio Star. - My gosh.
Why don't we start today's special, "Sam, N, Sams"?
N is acting as today's conjunction, the middle man today.
You knew you'd be on our show after the preliminary meeting?
It wasn't like I knew I was going to be invited.
I did a lot of shows at MBC.
(Laughing)
- I mean... - This guy...
- has some guts. - I did a lot.
Compared to other idol singers, I pride myself that I can talk...
- You are coherent when you speak. - coherently. I choose proper words.
(He brags without flinching.)
- I'm not bragging. - He's so good.
- He says he's a smooth talker. - I'm just saying it as it is.
You remind me of Jung Ji Yeong.
- The announcer? - Jung Ji Yeong?
- She's a woman. - Is that so?
- You look like her too. - Really?
- Right? He talks like her too. - That's right.
- Jung Ji Yeong, the announcer? - Yes.
- He does look similar. - Right.
I thought that talk shows would invite me since I'm good at talking.
I was thinking if it was time for me to star on Radio Star.
- That's what I thought. - In fact, he was invited because...
- Sam, the singer went to the US. - Sam Kim, the singer.
Sam Kim in Antenna. We could've had two Sam Kims.
- I'm filling in for him? - Yes.
- He would've filled up the spot. - We were to have four Sams today.
I didn't know why I was invited to this special.
Right. Only Sams were to star today.
But I was told that writers knew about my conversational skills.
- Really? I've never heard a thing. - I...
- This is all news to me. - Exactly.
- Are you spreading the news? - No, no.
- This is unbelievable. - I mean...
- He sounds sure of himself. - He's confident.
I find this quite adorable.
- That's charming. - I agree.
This isn't my opinion. I heard this from other people.
- Right. - That's why I'm sharing this.
When writers tell you that you're good,
it's a Korean formal pleasantry like asking to grab a meal later.
- People say that out of politeness. - Really?
- "Let's grab lunch some time." - Correct.
(He can spot pleasantries after 6 years in TV industry.)
Do a lot of people have the name, Sam overseas?
- There are tons. - Tons?
Which one is more popular? Sam or Tom?
- Sam. So many Sams are in films. - You think Sam is more popular?
- Like "Lord of the Rings". - "I Am Sam".
- That's right. - Even dogs have that name, Sam.
This is another thing.
Sam is short for Samantha.
- You have a point. - Sam is short for Samuel too.
Say that 100 foreigners walk by. If I shout, "Sam",
how many of them would turn around?
- Try that in Itaewon. - If it's just us, we'd both turn.
- Why would you ask them that? - I'd like to try that at airports.
- "Sam". How many would turn around? - Let's try it.
Korean teachers would turn and say, "What?"
That's possible.
- Sam Kim. - Yes?
Must I pronounce "Kim" differently for the singer with the same name?
- Really? - He pronounces it like "Gim".
- Then I can't call him Sam "Kim". - Actually, I ran into him...
- after a few years. - You met Sam "Gim"?
He told me about this.
He changed his name because of me.
- Really? - Yes.
Actually, "Kim" is pronounced more like "Gim" in Korea.
- That's right. - Foreigners would pronounce it Kim.
Did you get an English name when you went to study abroad?
- Yes, my name is Hee Tae. - Hee Tae.
- That's hard to pronounce. - They pronounce it "Hee Ta-i".
- I see. - Most of the people would...
- assume I'm Japanese. - "Hee Ta-i".
- They would ask me if I was. - I see.
So the church I went to...
- named me Samuel Hee Tae Kim. - Samuel.
Anyway, we became good friends.
- He comes to my restaurant to eat. - I see.
Well, he's rather quiet like myself.
- If he starred today... - In my opinion...
- My gosh, if he starred today... - You're saying he's better off.
- You think this is better? - It would've been a problem.
My goodness, Sam is looking out for us.
(After being on the show third time, he stops caring about the airtime.)
Sam, your son likes your English name,
Sam Kim, more than your Korean name, Kim Hee Tae.
Before he didn't really pay much attention when I appeared on TV.
Now that people start calling me Sam,
he likes that. For example,
say that we go to a supermarket or somewhere.
He'd nonchalantly say where there's a crowd,
"My dad is Sam Kim." Then he'd walk away.
- He wants to brag about you. - Exactly.
He does that in an elevator. Usually, it's quiet in the elevator.
He says, "My dad is Sam Kim."
- Even though people didn't ask? - No.
- They didn't ask. - They were keeping quiet.
How old is your son?
- He's seven. - He's at that age now.
When he watches today's show, at least, he won't be heartbroken.
Before, he would've said, "You didn't have much airtime."
(Are you watching, my son?)
Is there some kind of competition to see whose name...
comes up when we type in the name, "Sam"?
Whose name will come up now?
- Let me search it now. - Let's try that now.
- Sam. - Sam.
- Let me do this. - We'll use the search engine...
- I'm curious about this. - to see the standings.
- I see. Okyere's name comes up. - Yes!
- Samsonite doesn't count. - See? Did you hear that?
- "Sam Okyere", "Sam Hammington"... - "Did you hear that?"
"Samsonite".
- Look at this. - This is what I'm talking about.
- You beat Sam Smith too. - This is what I'm talking about.
No, no. If I type that in on my phone,
- my name comes up first. - Okay.
- Mine comes up first when I do it. - It's because you search it often.
- It depends on the history. - Seriously?
Of course. If you frequently look it up, it's saved in your history.
- Gu Ra's phone is most accurate. - Precisely, it is.
- It looks like... - Sam Okyere takes the win.
you don't agree.
- No, no, no. I understand. - We could see why.
- Here's the sad part. - Okay.
I went grocery shopping yesterday.
People stopped talking about Sam Hammington.
Now, they see him as William's father. This is true.
If you type in William, his name will come up before Shakespeare.
- Type in "William". - I'm sure it will.
- William. - Yes.
- He only typed in "Will". - His name comes up right away.
(I knew it.)
- Should we check N's? - My gosh, William.
- I have a lot of competition. - Let's check N's.
People search Japanese yen a lot.
- Yen? - That's a hard one to beat.
- Japanese yen. - The rate went up a lot lately.
- It went up a lot. - Type that in.
- It's Japanese yen. - It's impossible to beat that.
- There are so many. - That's the first one, right?
- "Yen currency rate". - He said he beat it once.
My name once came up before yen,
- but... - It only lasted a moment.
(It's fleeting happiness.)
- But... - There are so many.
my name, N of Vixx, comes up as the related term.
We don't have to think about it that far.
(It's out of their interest range.)
You said that you pretend to be someone else...
and write comments on your articles.
- Hey, come on. - You're softer than I thought.
If you're a man of logic, why would you do something like that?
I didn't mean to. I ended up reading the most-liked comments.
People usually say nice things,
so I thought that I could do the same.
That's how I wrote a comment. Other members wrote one too.
Somehow, only my comment received the highest number of likes.
You must be a coherent writer too.
- That's right. He's the best. - My goodness.
- Which one got the most likes? - Let me give you an example.
- Give us an example. - I must pretend to be someone else.
- I can't compliment myself. - Okay.
I must pretend to observe as a third party.
"Vixx's theme is great. They are the ultimate idol singers."
I'd have to write it like this.
Someone will write a reply for that.
- "N, you can't do this here." - That actually happened.
Someone replied to my comment.
Someone wrote, "Are you Cha Hak Yeon?"
- Don't you feel guilty then? - So I deleted the comment I wrote.
It's been 16 years since Sam Hammington has been...
- living in Korea. - 16 years? That's a long time.
Some people say that you're actually Korean.
"I'm surprised when I see foreigners in Jeju Island."
You said that.
This is what Sam said.
He spoke in Korean for an Australian TV show. They put English subtitles.
When they asked what "spring onion" is in English,
he said, it's "big onion".
It was incorrect.
What is it in English then?
- Isn't it spring onion? - Is it?
- Isn't that for a smaller one? - Unbelievable. Now...
- No, it's spring onion. - You can't beat him in this either.
(Struggling)
- That's different. - That refers to the big onions.
The onions attached to the leaves are called spring onions.
- Doesn't it come from Chinese? - Leek is the closest to what it is.
- It's leek. It's really huge. - "Leek"?
- Both of us were wrong. - That was hard.
- Yes, leek. - Anyway,
- his English is deteriorating. - Right.
We continue to see behaviors only Koreans would do.
- Do foreigners intrigue you? - What will you do now?
- When I was with Korean friends, - Are they interesting to you?
two blond ladies passed out of the blue.
- Before you got married? - I went, "Hey,"
"they are foreigners."
My friend went, "Are you mad? You're a foreigner too."
I was like, "You're right. What's happening?"
After living in Korea for a long time,
- I adjusted to Korean culture now. - That's possible.
- I'm confused about my identity. - I can understand that.
By the way, the name, William, sounds like...
a name of a British prince, but why did you name your second, Bentley?
- Isn't that after the automobile? - We associate it with that brand.
No, no. To be honest,
I was hoping to have a girl.
- We were going to pick Victoria, - Victoria.
but when we found out that it was a boy,
we didn't know what to do.
I printed out about 20 names.
There were a few I liked.
Since Henry is a royal name too,
- we thought about picking Henry. - Henry.
- There's Henry in Super Junior. - Yes.
That guy is known for being slow-witted.
- He's a bit forgetful. - Right.
- It's your personal preference. - Okay.
Next one was Jackson.
I felt like if we pick a name with the same name as a celebrity's,
- people may think we used his name. - That won't be cool.
- So... - You were afraid of that.
- Maxwell was another one. - "Maxwell".
- I didn't know, but... - That's name of the coffee brand.
- Exactly. I couldn't pick it then. - "Maxwell has the best coffee."
- Maxwell. - Ahn Sung Ki says that.
Jasper was another one. Jasper.
- Jasper. - My wife told me that...
it sounded similar to the name of...
women's sanitary pads.
- I get it. That's a valid point. - Right.
- Jasper. - Bentley sounds mighty.
People might think that we named him after the automobile,
so he will be able to afford one of those cars when he grows up.
- It has nothing to do with the car. - It's irrelevant.
- Bentley. - Sam,
you learned Korean from a female friend?
Do you have a girlfriend now?
- No. - That's why you learned...
- how to say things like ladies. - A long time ago,
- I heard you learned those. - when you first started,
something was going on with you and Abigail.
- Abigail. - It didn't work out.
- It didn't? I heard you liked her. - Abigail.
You look bothered by that.
(Oh, shoot!)
A while ago, the three of us filmed a show together.
- He still has feelings for her. - He's still into her.
Abigail is pretty.
- She's beautiful. She's pretty. - Right.
She's elegant when she talks too.
See? His face changed when we were talking about girls.
- You seemed upset a while ago. - It'd be weird if it doesn't.
This is inevitable. I'm a man.
It didn't work after you asked her out?
No, it didn't work out.
Just like you mentioned, I learned Korean from a woman.
- From your girlfriend? - No, she wasn't my girlfriend.
I learned it from Ms. Son Yoo Dee, a Korean lady.
- Yoo Dee? - Yes.
- Yoo Dee? - Yoo Ri?
"I see. Really?"
"Okay. I'll be there."
- "You shouldn't do that." - What was that?
His acting has gotten better. He's good at reenacting.
- They say, "oh, dear". - "Oh, dear".
"That really happened? No."
- "Why did you do that?" - His reenactment is funny enough.
- "Sam, why did you do that now?" - Hey.
I think he learned it from Suk Chun.
(You just have that feel.)
When they get excited...
(His passion hasn't died down.)
- "That's beautiful." - Right.
- Does he look weird to you? - In my opinion,
I think he's a talkative type...
- because... - I think...
- His Korean got better than yours. - Listen.
- He only takes care of his kids. - He became fluent.
To be honest, couples don't talk much...
because they have to raise the kids. They don't talk when they have kids.
- It's because it's a hard job. - I'll give you that.
- You must talk to many people. - Of course, I do.
- I agree. - His Korean improved a lot.
- Married guys don't talk much. - You bet.
That's true. We just go home and sleep.
(He can identify with Sam.)
- Listen to this. Sam. - Yes?
In a Ghanaian program,
you referred to Korea as "Our country".
Wouldn't the Ghanaian viewers be upset?
- "Our country". - He didn't say, "Their country".
You know,
going to Ghana counts as a foreign debut...
since I debuted in Korea.
When I work at Ghana...
- It's the Korean Wave. - That's right.
It's the Korean Wave.
The Ghanaian people call me...
a Korean celebrity.
- Really? - Yes.
- He is a Korean celebrity. - I am not a Ghanaian celebrity.
He is a nobody in Ghana.
- I am the same in Australia. - He has wits.
He has wits. He knows when to join the conversation.
I appeared on a Ghanaian program last year.
When I returned, people recognized me at the airport.
Now, some Ghanaian people recognize me.
To Ghanaian people,
Sam Okyere comes to mind when they think about Korea.
Because a fellow Ghanaian person is working as a celebrity,
they are more interested in Korea.
He is right.
In another program,
he was asked "Which country won the Japanese Invasion in 1592?"
He answered, "Wasn't it our country?"
Did Ghana win the Japanese Invasion in 1592?
He referred to Korea as "Our country".
That man was very taken aback...
to hear a Ghanaian man refer to Korea as "Our country".
That happened.
I am thankful.
That's right. These days,
I can feel his love for the country.
At first, I simply wanted...
to act as a bridge between Ghana and Korea.
Then I came to like Korea very much.
When I am abroad,
I sometimes tell people that I am from Korea.
It's my second home.
It feels natural to call it "Our country".
Japanese TV programs have...
- a lot of foreign celebrities. - There are a lot.
Foreigners who speak Japanese.
Someone suggested to me that I move to Japan to work,
but I said that I like Korea.
You don't speak Japanese.
No, I don't.
I feel like this is a hearing.
You are keeping him in check.
It looks like you hate everything about him.
It's not like that.
The moment Sam Okyere opens his mouth,
he does this.
I said this...
back in the days.
I raised a tiger cub.
You don't like me.
They are a duo.
- They are a duo. - That's right.
Sam Kim, the first part-time job you had at the U.S...
- was at a rice cake shop. - Yes.
- When an acquaintance of mine... - A rice cake shop?
opened a rice cake shop in the U.S.,
I worked at the factory.
You also worked part-time at a sushi restaurant for three years.
- Yes. - A sushi restaurant.
One day, an acquaintance of mine took me to a sushi restaurant.
It was quite shocking.
Dishes are usually prepared...
in the kitchen...
before they get served to the customers.
The chef made sushi and served the customer right away.
If the customer found it tasty, he or she clapped...
and complimented the chef.
I wanted to have that experience.
That's why I worked at a sushi restaurant for three years.
Then I began to meet chefs.
When I told them that I like Italian food,
they suggested that they visit. Then I learned Italian cuisine.
You saw some Hollywood action in American kitchens.
In Korean culinary schools,
you hide minor wounds.
You wipe the blood and pretend like you didn't cut yourself.
When I was in an American culinary school,
one student got hurt.
He promptly said he has to go to the hospital.
I thought to myself, "Shouldn't he keep quiet about it?"
I had a different mindset.
- I see. - About an hour later,
he returned and opened the door.
Other students stopped to look at him,
laid down their knives,
and clapped.
They were impressed.
(He overcame a wound with his passion for cooking.)
N, you have many performances abroad.
In which countries is Vixx popular?
- We are popular in Japan... - Japan.
and Southeast Asian countries. We do pretty well in China too.
Were you kidnapped in Kazakhstan?
- What happened? - We were on a bus...
to the airport in Kazakhstan...
to come back to Korea.
As soon as our managers got off the bus,
it hit the road.
When we asked the driver where he was going,
he said that he is taking us to the airport lounge.
We trusted him and fell asleep.
The managers ran after the bus.
Did they yell, "Stop, stop"?
They just screamed.
- They must have been startled. - We just thought...
they hadn't gotten the message.
"Please tell them that we are going to the lounge."
Didn't you suspect anything?
We thought, "They are treating us like honored guests."
- My goodness. - "There is nothing wrong."
We were thankful for the treatment.
We were resting...
when the managers arrived.
They swore and yelled...
outside of the lounge.
The security guards stopped them.
"Weren't they informed about this?"
"Tell them we are resting at the lounge..."
"or let them in."
They told us they can't do that. When we asked them why,
they explained the lounge is only for the honored guests.
It put us in a good mood.
I see.
It's about time...
you tell us how this story ends.
- Wait. - This is a talk show,
not a story time.
You made me listen calmly.
My charm makes people focus.
He doesn't let anything slide.
The doors opened...
and a high school girl walked in.
We didn't understand because the managers were outside.
She was the princess of Kazakhstan.
She liked Vixx.
She liked me in particular.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
To shake our hands and take pictures with us,
- she had brought us there. - It wasn't in the schedule.
That's when we found out what was going on.
Are you looking it up?
I am looking up if Kazakhstan is a monarchy.
I believe it's a communist country.
- You are wrong. - Am I wrong?
The president of Kazakhstan...
declared himself a monarch.
He is a dictator.
It's a hereditary monarchy.
Listen to this.
When Yunsurdamar the First became the president of Kazakhstan,
he declared the country a monarchy and crown himself a king.
What is this?
This blog is talking about a game.
That's not historical fact.
- What is this? - Gu Ra.
You need to be better at looking up information.
What is this?
Does that mean Kazakhstan isn't a monarch?
- Are you playing a game? - I read from this blog.
(Let me see.)
I was looking at a game blog.
(Embarrassed)
Nursultan Nazarbayev is the president.
- She was the president's daughter. - It would be strange...
if someone became the president...
and promptly went, "I am the king of this country."
I also thought...
it was strange.
I thought you were reading us historical facts.
I thought it was strange.
(Embarrassed)
(The fairy of internet searching will stop here.)
During the preliminary interview,
the two Sams bragged about their popularity at home.
Sam Hammington,
were you as popular as William when you were young?
I was incredibly popular.
You were handsome.
The passers-by commented on...
what a pretty daughter I am.
They thought I was a girl.
I had bob haircut with bangs.
You are handsome.
Learning the Korean drinking culture...
made me gain weight.
Sam Okyere, you claimed that...
women always made advances at you in Ghana.
(Giggling)
The thing is,
my Korean friends ask me often...
if I am considered handsome in Ghana as well.
I could easily be...
an actor in Ghana.
Listen.
The beauty standards are the same everywhere.
It's all in his head.
He is handsome.
I was popular...
among Ghanaian women.
- He is handsome. - Tell us whom you resemble.
- I resemble my mom. - That's not what I meant.
- You look like Will Smith. - Will Smith.
"You look like an actor. Who was it?"
- "Men in Black". - "Smith!"
"You look like Will Smith." I heard that often.
I like NBA.
A lot of African American basketball players grow a beard.
Is that a trend?
- Yes. - LeBron James has a beard.
- LeBron James. - That's right.
- Everyone has a beard. - In Ghana,
men aren't popular without a beard.
It's the same in Australia.
It's men's dream.
You know,
every member of Boston Red Sox has a beard.
Have you thought about growing a long beard?
No, I haven't. I live in Korea.
When I go to the countryside in Ghana,
grandmas go, "What is that? Shave it off right away."
- Grandmas are the same in Ghana. - Seriously.
Grandmas are the same everywhere.
- Grandmas are the same everywhere. - My father is the same.
I shave every time I go to Ghana.
If you are beardless in Australia,
- people think you aren't manly. - That's right.
- Beard is a symbol of manliness. - Why don't you grow a beard?
I grew one recently,
- but it was inappropriate for TV. - Why?
- It's different in Korea. - People said...
Korean men can't grow a beard.
People said I look like a beggar.
You don't look like a beggar.
People said that.
Don't you think a beard is cool? I want to grow one.
I don't think there is an idol singer with a beard.
- G.O. - G.O had a beard.
It wasn't well-received.
- G.O. - He was a member of MBLAQ.
Can you grow a beard?
I am quite hairy.
- Really? - I am quite hairy.
I think N just likes to go along with what we are saying.
That's not true.
- I see stubble. - He is telling the truth.
You just can't see it because I have tanned skin.
- Really? - He has a lot of hair.
He doesn't have a lot of hair.
Of course I don't have as much as you.
Do the two Sams have a lot of chest hair?
- Of course they do. - Do you want me to show you?
- No, thank you. - I have a lot of chest hair.
I don't want to see it.
You asked.
Why did you ask?
Do you have a lot of chest hair?
Really?
Hold on.
(He has chest hair like seaweed fulvescens.)
(Let me see.)
He has a lot of chest hair.
He is wild enough to walk on his fours.
Walk on your fours.
Don't walk on your twos.
Gook Jin made a funny comment again.
He made a funny comment again.
He should walk on his fours.
- You know, - His chest hair is impressive.
I am very jealous of it these days.
- I want to grow a beard. - It's every man's dream.
It will be cool to have a beard...
that flows in the air.
It will be cool.
Back in the days,
he attended an award ceremony with haggard looks.
- He didn't have much of a beard. - Seriously.
(He has poor excuse of a beard.)
Sam Okyere said four women liked him at the same time.
- Four women? - I was young.
I knew I was popular among women.
Hold on.
- He is something. - He lives in Itaewon.
I lived in the same neighborhood for many years.
Whenever I saw him drive by,
- he always had... - Did he have someone by his side?
a different woman by his side.
It was a different woman every time I saw him.
I would ask, "Who is she?"
"I am dropping a friend off at the airport."
I work as a chauffeur...
- for my friends. - A chauffeur!
I tell my friends to call me whenever they need a ride.
Sam, you are well-known...
to be flirtatious towards female guests on the show.
(Laughing)
Recently,
you promised North Korean defectors to give Ghanaian chocolate.
- You flirted with them. - "Now on My Way to Meet You".
- Yes. - You appeared on that show.
What did you talk about on "Now on My Way to Meet You"?
It's incredible...
that a foreigner appeared on "Now on My Way to Meet You".
- That's impressive. - That's impressive.
What happened?
I asked them if they celebrate Valentine's Day in North Korea.
They said they don't.
We celebrate it in Ghana.
February 14th is a national chocolate day.
- A national chocolate day. - You give Ghanaian chocolate.
If you have someone you like,
you give him or her Ghanaian chocolate.
There must be a lot of cocoa farms in Ghana.
There are a lot.
There are a lot of cocoa fields.
Are there a lot of dishes that use cocoa beans?
- Yes, there are. - Give us some examples.
Is there a dish like seasoned cocoa beans?
I am curious.
There is no such thing as seasoned cocoa beans.
How about cocoa hot pot?
There is no such thing as cocoa hot pot.
How about cocoa pancake?
- I am curious. - Cocoa salad.
- Stop it already. - It's funny.
(A table of cocoa dishes)
N, the leader of Vixx, says that the members' role model...
- is him. - N thinks he and Vixx are the same.
N thinks he and Vixx are the same.
Do the members agree with you?
It's not like that.
The members like me.
(He is undeterred.)
(He loves himself.)
It's hard to be so confident.
I thought you were supposed to stay humble in Korea.
- The trend is changing. - Really?
I take a stand and talk to the company.
I learned since I was the leader even when I was a trainee.
His words are impeccable.
- Seriously. - He is impeccable.
- He is impeccable. - He moves on to the next topic.
He is impeccable.
Other guests get one question after another.
When I answer a question, you just go, "Really?"
Your comments are too well-organized.
We can't help but move on since you wrap up everything nicely.
We can't argue when you say you are the members' role model.
You said there was a group chat room that excluded you.
- Really? - You were left out.
I was so shocked.
I don't think the members like you.
I bet they go, "What did N say today?"
- "What nonsense did he say?" - I can tell you what happened.
It was 2 or 3 months after my birthday.
They said they made the group chat room for my birthday.
That's a lie. That's a complete lie.
"Do we have to throw him a birthday party?"
(A group chat room without N)
It's very possible they said that.
They forgot to delete the group chat room.
After 3 or 4 months, they got caught.
"What is this?"
I was hurt to find a group chat room without me,
but I felt better upon hearing that it was for my birthday party.
Does the group chat room still exist?
I deleted it.
- You're just... - What is that?
- You deleted it. - He got rid of it.
I stole the phones and made them exit the group chat room.
You stole the phones.
You had no right to take away...
their freedom.
(He is a dictator.)
You will be the first one to go to the army.
Yes. The member who is my age and I will go first.
Then other members will take turns.
Since you are the role model,
didn't the other members offer to follow you?
I once suggested that we go to the army together.
However, my suggestion didn't get...
much of a response.
It didn't get much of a response.
"What is he saying?"
"He is speaking nonsense."
I bet they talked about it behind your back.
When you don't get any response in the group chat room,
you can't help but think, "Did I say something wrong?"
I keep saying what I need to say.
(His self-love comes from his innocence.)
N, you heard employees of your agency badmouth you...
because you work too diligently.
The building of my agency has six floors.
I was waiting for an elevator on the first floor...
when I heard familiar voices on the second floor.
They were employees of the agency.
They were badmouthing the president.
I thought it was understandable...
because a lot of employees badmouth the president.
Then they said, "N, that crazy boy..."
(Shocked)
"They can badmouth the president, but how dare they badmouth me?"
My goodness.
What did they say?
They said that I am a freak when it comes to making decisions...
regarding the dance and music.
I say, "We have to make this move at 1 minute and 1 second."
You are a perfectionist.
They badmouthed me and the president.
They said, "Those two are the same."
It hurt my feelings to hear people badmouth me...
when I only worked hard.
- Did you talk to them? - Of course he didn't.
- I didn't talk to them. - This is your first mention of it.
- Yes, it is. - They will know once they see this.
Yes, they will know who they are.
They quit.
- It's understandable. - I was upset.
As the president of an agency,
you are supportive of the employees.
The employees are bound to badmouth you.
Only the lazy president doesn't get badmouthed.
I agree with you.
I thought to myself, "I did a good job with my work."
(Laughing)
He concluded that he did a good job.
I didn't like getting badmouthed with the president.
- That hurt my feelings. - He is a funny man.
(He is a funny man.)
You want us to move along.
(He is good with variety shows.)
(Coming up)
(They feel like they have to do something.)
(It's better than I expected.)
Please pay attention.
(The Korean guests begin to work hard.)
(Get ready to be surprised.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with 3 Sams...
and 1 conjunction.
N prepared specialties.
He has a few.
You are the one who prepared them. Don't act like you are surprised.
It's an outdated reaction.
I know what he was going for.
"Should I try a few things?"
It's in the script.
The specialties include figure skating on the floor...
and cover dance of "Red Flavor" by Red Velvet.
What do you want us to do?
You wanted it to look like it was spontaneous.
I thought everyone had prepared specialties.
They did. These are your specialties, right?
That's right.
- He prepared a lot. - I know.
Red Velvet and Sun Mi.
Should we play the songs back to back?
I prepared the music.
(We knew it.)
He shouldn't have gone, "Me?"
What was that?
For goodness' sake.
It's better than I expected. Please pay attention.
Really? Is it better than you expected?
Most people go,
"I don't know if I will be able to do a good job."
- "It's better than I expected." - "It's better than I expected."
Music, please.
("Red Flavor")
(Dancing)
(He attracts their attention with the perfect dance.)
(He can't hide his refreshing charms.)
(The level of refreshing charms go overboard.)
(We know this song.)
(He seamlessly switches to "Cheer Up".)
(He is still refreshing.)
(A man shouldn't give his heart so easily.)
(I am sorry, girls.)
(We love you, N.)
He shortened the dance.
(The atmosphere changes.)
This is nice. This is nice.
He is cool.
(His dance moves are spot on.)
This is nice.
(They can't take their eyes off of him.)
(He perfectly covers the dance of Sun Mi's "Gashina".)
(My goodness.)
He got screen time.
Let's see figure skating on the floor.
I covered Kim Yun A's performance.
Okay.
- That's great. - What's this?
Music, please.
(Determined)
What's that?
(Sliding)
(He moves delicately as if he's actually on the ice rink.)
(But in fact, he's pretending on the floor.)
It looks like he's actually skating on the ice rink.
(He looks like a figure skater surprisingly.)
Great. She pulled it off. Oh, Kim Yun A.
(Tae Hyun imitated commentators perfectly.)
She pulled it off wonderfully.
- She'll get more points for that. - That's right.
(His performance is reaching its climax.)
That's good.
This is her last move.
(Everyone is mesmerized.)
(Perfect)
Let's throw flowers. Throw flowers.
(Throwing)
Throw a doll too.
(Exclaiming)
- That was awesome. - He's really good.
He took enough time to show everything he prepared.
He looked different from other male stars...
dancing girl groups' dances.
It's because I've been dancing since I was a kid.
He doesn't hold back. He doesn't.
I wish I could hear N saying something like "I'm flattered."
- Me too. - I didn't mean it like that.
He never holds back.
N, you're very popular, aren't you?
I'm quite popular.
- He didn't deny it. - On the contrary,
Sam, who is a foreigner, said, "That's not true."
- What culture is his? - "You're flattering me."
- N is more like a foreigner. - "That is not true."
"I still have a long way to go."
Sam is more like Korean while N is like a foreigner.
I think I'm just honest.
Oh, right. Sam Okyere...
is a professional fashion model.
(He looks charismatic on a runway.)
- How tall are you? - I'm 183cm tall.
- He's not very tall. - But he has great body proportions.
- He has great body proportions. - He took a fashion photoshoot...
- This is very unusual. - with an amazing theme.
(Laughing)
- Look at the octopus. - That's an octopus.
The photo looks fabulous.
It looks great because he's the model.
For example, if Sam Hammington was the model...
Sam would have eaten the octopus.
Are we going to do it that way now?
It's to promote the bag, right?
- Yes, it was for a donation. - It wouldn't have been the octopus.
- That must be semi-dried octopus. - Right.
It wouldn't have been to promote an octopus restaurant.
- A versatile octopus. - Can you show us your model walk?
A runway model walk.
- I didn't prepare much either. - It's okay. Sam.
He copied me.
- He's pretending he didn't prepare. - You're so modest.
Please show us.
Sam Kim, you'll show us your walk as well, right?
A runway walk?
Didn't you prepare a chef walk?
- Didn't you? - Sam Kim, start at the other end.
- Didn't you prepare it? - Won't you show us your chef walk?
- Show us. - Sam Kim, give it a try.
- Walk from the other end. - I want to see a chef walk.
- Just walk. - Right.
- I wait here. - That's right.
(This is a runway model walk.)
That's right.
That's good. That's how they do.
Right. Great.
- He really is a model. - He's good.
It's hard for me to walk like that.
- It's Sam's turn. - Sam Kim, it's your turn.
- Just walk as you always do. - Show us your chef walk.
(Like this?)
(Laughing)
This is his chef walk. You look great.
- He looks just ordinary. - Sam Kim.
- Don't forget this pose. - Sam Hammington.
(Here goes Sam Hammington!)
- Sam Hammington. - What's that?
Sam...
(He strides confidently while flaunting his body.)
(A suit makes a man.)
He's good.
(He imitates a runway model naturally.)
- He's really good at that. - He's bold.
- N, you give it a try too. - He looks fabulous.
N will give it a try.
I think he'll do well.
(Music stops.)
Okay. You can start now.
(He looks awkward.)
He looks a bit awkward.
He's doing it again.
(Queen Yun A is the only one he can trust.)
He didn't prepare this.
(Still, he looks the most confident.)
(He finishes perfectly!)
Recently, Sam Hammington started looking like a celebrity.
Like a foreign celebrity.
He used to look like an ordinary foreigner.
Sam Kim once saw a TV celebrity...
who was treated like a national guest unexpectedly.
- An unexpected celebrity. - It was unexpected...
that he got special treatment.
- Kim Yong Man... - It was Yong Man?
came to my restaurant for the first time.
Was it his birthday? He celebrated something that day.
Usually, I get one call from the celebrity's acquaintance.
That day, Jung Hyung Don called me first.
He said it was a special day for Yong Man,
so he recommended my restaurant. He asked me to treat him well.
I said I would and hung up the phone.
- Then Kim Seong Ju called me. - Seong Ju?
He asked you to treat Yong Man well.
Ahn Jung Hwan called you as well, right?
How did you know?
All the cast members of "Guided Adventure" called you.
- It was unexpected. It was... - Everyone called you.
- They take care of each other. - my first time getting calls...
- from several people for just one. - They care about him a lot.
Jung Hwan asked me...
to serve Yong Man the most expensive wine in my restaurant...
and tell him that it's a gift from Jung Hwan.
- Yong Man is treated like a king. - Exactly.
I should hold a birthday party as well.
Sam Kim claims that he's a chef,
but he appeared on "Real Men", "One Night Two Days",
"Happy Together", and "Non Summit" as well as Radio Star.
You appeared on as many variety shows as Seo Jang Hoon did.
You never refuse any offers, right?
- It looks like it. - He even appeared in dramas.
Yes, I played a cameo role.
Tae Hyun, evaluate his acting performance.
I'm so embarrassed.
That's him.
- He looks younger than now. - Is he Sam Kim?
- Isn't it good? - He looks so thin.
It's delicious.
You don't look like you mean it.
(Laughing)
He would look more convincing in that drama.
He played a chef in that drama.
Is this a drama?
- Yes, it is. - Lee Hye Jeong also appeared in it.
I remember this drama.
Even Jun Hyun Moo is awkward too.
Everyone in that drama is awkward.
All three of us agreed...
that it was surprising.
- He tried many different things. - Exactly.
That was unexpected.
Maybe Sam Kim learned what capitalism really is. He danced...
in a TV commercial. Can you show us?
Kim Seong Ju also appeared in that jelly commercial, right?
- Yes. - Right.
- I really don't remember the dance. - Then we have to watch it.
- We'll watch the video instead. - We should watch the video.
That's his TV commercial.
- Look at Sam. - Young Chul is good at it.
(Anyone can tell he pursues a capitalist's lifestyle.)
"I am a chef."
"I am a nature-friendly chef."
- My goodness. - After appearing in it,
a lot of kids imitated the dance and asked me to show them.
Did you appear in 15 TV commercials?
- He appeared in many commercials. - About 17 commercials.
- That's a lot. - I got a lot of offers back then.
- Because of "Chef and My Fridge"? - Yes.
Yes, but now, he's not as popular as he used to be.
Sam Hammington started his career...
- through "Surprise Mystery TV". - Really?
He's preparing to make his debut as a film director.
Not long ago, I started writing a synopsis.
- I wrote a few for my movie. - I see.
Are you thinking of directing a movie?
- It'll be a short film. - I see.
The running time will be between 5 and 15 minutes.
I'm planning to film it...
- within this year. - Is Sam Okyere the lead actor?
Sam Okyere? I can't cast him.
He won't cast you.
He tends to overact.
He looked like he was on "Surprise Mystery TV" all along.
Act like you're surprised.
- This is what I was talking about. - He's good.
- Wasn't he overacting? - Exaggerate it even more.
He's good.
He's good. Sam Kim, you should try it too.
- Me? - Give it a try.
(He looks awkward.)
- He does everything he's asked to. - Exactly.
Sam Okyere was amazing.
- Right. - No. He was overacting.
His surprised face surprised me.
I was so surprised by the way he performed.
Show us again how you got surprised by his performance.
Oh, my gosh.
This is my surprised face.
I don't exaggerate it. I just do it like this.
(Gook Jin's surprised face leaves a strong impression.)
In the interview, N said that acting is like tightrope walking.
(It's N's philosophy of acting.)
Most directors like me.
They like my acting performances...
and my appearances. So...
I got many good opportunities. What is it?
- Nothing. - I think they like him.
- I hope... - Of course they like you.
that I'll see you being modest at least once on this show.
- There's no doubt. - Of course.
- There's no doubt. - He's the most unique guest.
(The hosts acknowledge his uniqueness.)
To him, being modest means to say goodbye at the end.
"Thank you, everyone. Go home safely."
- I admit what I'm not good at. - That's good.
Since I'm also an idol singer...
and have many other things to do,
it's hard for me to work as an actor continuously.
That's why I feel like I'm tightrope walking.
- You need a lot of practice. - Will you tightrope walk here?
Tightrope walking? No, I won't do it.
- I didn't prepare it. - I thought he would do it.
- Where should we hang the rope? - "I'll give it a try."
- Will you give it a try? - If...
Action.
If there's a rope, I think I can do it as I used to be a dancer.
(Tightrope walking is nothing as I can figure skate on the floor.)
A few years ago, Sam Hammington was the talk of the town...
because of his own honest opinions on Dokdo Island controversy,
the reason why people should vote, and racism.
Are you considering becoming a politician as well?
Just like Sam Okyere,
I have the intention of becoming a politician...
when I go back to Australia.
In Australia?
I can't watch it often now because of my kids,
but my favorite program is a news show.
- I see. - I can see how the world is going.
I should know what's going on in Korea because I live here.
As a taxpayer, it's important for me...
- to know how things are going. - That's right.
To become a politician,
you have to prepare yourself to be criticized.
I see.
He can be criticized for whatever he does.
Well, yes, whatever I do...
Seeing him in a suit,
he looks a bit like an Australian politician.
Since we're talking about it,
people could criticize me right now.
What's your political orientation? Are you conservative or progressive?
- I think I'm in the middle. - I see.
To be honest, when there are two parties,
they should praise each other for what they did well.
But politicians tend to be against other parties...
- in any situations. - There's no reasonable reason.
I don't understand why they do that.
Sam, it happens a lot in life.
That's life, you know.
Why don't you two...
have a drink together at Mapo while talking about politics?
(Mapo Barbecue Restaurant)
(Heartwarming)
In the country I lived in since I was a kid,
- I didn't play an important role. - Right.
Since I got a lot of good opportunities in Korea,
when I go back to my country,
I'll make efforts to build a good relationship...
between Australia and Korea through politics.
- That's great. - Recently,
George Weah was elected as the president of Liberia.
- Many people called me to say... - George Weah.
that since I have a similar dream,
I could achieve my goals...
if I work hard for that.
To be honest,
I came to Korea just because I got exchange student scholarship.
But I came to have a lot of thoughts while living in Korea.
There are so many poor people in Ghana.
I thought of the things I could do for those people.
Also, if you think about the history,
Ghana was better off than Korea a few decades ago.
My country continued to grow,
but it stopped growing at some point. However, Korea...
- grew so fast. - It was a few decades ago.
- It was a few decades ago. - Yes. So I decided to...
found out what made it possible.
- May I say something? - Sure.
- Don't hesitate. - I...
What are you going to say this time?
- I won't brag about myself. - Will you brag about yourself?
I'm not athletic.
No way!
- You prepared that comment. - No way.
I'm sure he prepared that comment.
He wanted to look modest.
He wanted to say something to look modest.
Why did he say that all of a sudden?
That was irrelevant.
- That was impressive. - You prepared that, didn't you?
- He came up with it just now. - You prepared it, right?
I should've done the same.
No wonder why he was moving his eyes so much.
(He's trying to come up with an idea.)
- He wanted to look modest. - I saw his eyes moving like this.
He felt bad about it.
- So he's not athletic. - He's not athletic.
I'm not so athletic.
- All right. - He didn't even tell a story.
He just said that he's not athletic.
(I barely managed to come up with it.)
Since this is not an unknown TV show on a minor cable channel.
His word choices are unique.
I decided to come on the show because I don't have to be...
athletic to be on this show.
(He drew a big picture.)
Was that the case?
He's very cautious.
He's impressive.
(Strength: Speaking logically, weakness: Sports)
Sam Kim, do you run a farm as well?
It's been almost five years.
Where is your farm?
It's in Gimpo.
Where in Gimpo?
To be accurate,
it's in Bucheon.
- Where in Bucheon? - Right behind...
- the Gimpo International Airport. - In Ojeong-dong?
- Yes, in Ojeong-dong. - I see.
- What do you grow in your farm? - What kind of farm is it?
- I grow eggplants... - Can I go and pick some?
I run this farm with some others.
Why would you say that?
It was just a joke. I can just buy one at a store.
What would I do with free eggplants?
You're just unbelievable.
(Embarrassed)
I grow various vegetables.
You make a lot of effort. You grow vegetables by yourself.
- Go and pick some eggplants. - That's okay.
- You grow your own ingredients. - What would I do with eggplants?
You should watch your farm more carefully...
to keep him away from your crops.
He knows where the farm is.
Exactly.
Just focus on your TV shows.
Secretly...
If I host more TV shows,
you all will lose your jobs.
- I can't believe you all. - On TV shows...
I didn't take the opportunities for the sake of them. Gosh.
- You just sounded like N. - Exactly.
(Look how confident he is.)
(I acknowledge you.)
Why don't you call your crops...
"Airplane Vegetables"?
You can hear airplanes taking off and landing there.
His vegetables also hear that sound while growing up.
- "Airplane Vegetables"? - I think it's a good idea.
You know Ojeong-dong well.
- Of course I do. - You can see planes so often.
- Is it near the airport? - Yes, it is.
Anyone can assume that planes are seen near the airport.
Not everyone knows about Ojeong-dong.
- That's right. - Is it located behind the airport?
It's near Hotel "M", right?
- Yes, further than the hotel. - I see.
Let's stop here.
(We got enough airtime.)
- All right. - Can I say something else?
Is there something else you're not good at?
That's not what I'm going to say.
Will you be modest once again?
I paid for the deposit for the yearly rent house of my parents.
(I have one more thing to brag about.)
- What was that? - He's a good son.
He must've felt bad about telling us that he's not athletic.
He felt bad about not being athletic.
- You don't have to be ashamed. - It's like he gives announcements.
- "I can't finish with that remark." - "N Announcement".
- You have a unique personality. - It's not like that.
- You never know. - I wanted to brag about it.
He's peculiar.
I've never seen any Korean like him.
(During the past 16 years in Korea)
All he did on the show was bragging about himself.
He should be modest.
"I'm flattered. Thank you."
This is his own personality.
I've never seen anyone like him. He's interesting.
- Isn't he charming though? - Yes, he is.
- In fact, - He's charming.
All the other idol singers behave modestly.
- "No. I'm not that good." - I think he's unique.
When I first saw him, I thought,
"That's not appropriate."
But as I kept watching him,
- I became mesmerized. - I know.
- He mesmerizes others. - I couldn't help it.
- I'm just honest. - You're interesting.
Being confident is a good thing.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who are proud of their names.
"The Song That Would Rank My Name in Search Engine Results".
Shall we hear the song that Sam Hammington chose?
- You chose this song? - "She Was Pretty".
- Sam Hammington will sing this? - It's a good song.
("She Was Pretty" by Park Jin Young)
Why did you choose this song?
First of all,
I like Rhythm and Blues, soul music.
- Soul? - Yes.
- Yes. - Rhythm and Blues, soul music.
- His pronunciation was weird. - I'm sorry.
I've never seen any native speaker whose pronunciation is this poor.
- Soul. - Can't you pronounce the word?
- He'll dance while singing. - Shall we hear him sing?
Sam Hammington will sing "She Was Pretty".
("She Was Pretty" performed by Sam Hammington)
(Dancing)
That's great.
You're so good at dancing.
(Overly excited)
(I like the way he dances.)
(Somehow, it feels like we've seen a performance like this before.)
(MBC Foreigners' Singing Contest)
(Gook Jin is a judge.)
(She was so pretty)
(Sam's Korean pronunciation is very good.)
(I was sad)
(His facial expressions are also good.)
(Sam from Australia is doing well so far.)
(I cried)
(Screaming)
(He bursts with excitement.)
His dance is incredible.
I like his dance moves.
(A big bounce upper body dance move)
(And shy dance steps)
It's so fun to watch him dance.
He's so good at dancing.
(He shows the Australian style.)
He sings ad-libs.
I wish he could keep singing.
You can come back down. He looks tired.
We have enough time.
That was an amazing performance.
For a moment, I thought it was...
- a foreigners' singing contest. - It wasn't like that.
- It seemed like that to me. - To me, he seemed like...
the CEO at a work dinner...
who is dancing reluctantly in front of his employees.
- He seemed like that as well. - He also looked like...
a buyer from a foreign country.
(It looked like a foreign buyer was visiting a Korean company.)
- Drinking with the buyer... - They treat him to a nice dinner...
to close an export deal.
Sam Hammington, you should run a hotel business later.
My wife told me the same thing.
- "Hammington Hotel". - That sounds good.
"Hammington Hotel" next to Hamilton Hotel.
He could also run a haemultang restaurant.
Come again?
Rexton store is next to it.
- You should run a hotel. - That's a good idea.
That's so funny.
You look like a hotel manager. Think of running a hotel.
Hilton, Carlton, and Hammington.
Will you invest in my business?
(He asks seriously.)
Don't just make a suggestion. Invest in his business.
Didn't you know that I was joking?
(He goes back on his word.)
Now, shall we hear the song that Sam Okyere chose?
("Shabang Shabang" by Park Hyun Bin)
It's like a competition between Sam Hammington and Sam Okyere.
We meant to ask them to perform together,
but their musical preferences are too different.
- They're too different. - They can't perform together.
- They're too different. - They can't reach to a negotiation.
- They just can't. - They have different preferences.
"Shabang Shabang" by Park Hyun Bin.
Why did you choose this song?
When you think about cheerful energy...
Ghanaian people are full of cheerful energy as well.
When I go to a karaoke with my Ghanaian friends...
and one of them starts singing "Shabang Shabang",
we all go crazy.
We have so much fun.
- Let's hear him sing. - "Shabang Shabang".
(How will Sam Okyere's version be?)
("Shabang Shabang" sung by Sam Okyere)
Ma'am, give me a hand!
- That's good. - Whom did he just talk to?
(He turns the studio into a festival stage.)
Are you all ready to have fun?
(She is)
(Drop-dead gorgeous)
(What was that?)
(I'm so attractive, so every woman loves me)
(Why is he opening his coat?)
(But I called dibs on one woman)
(How many times does he point his finger?)
(Cute)
(Sexy)
(My goodness.)
(Staccato)
Sing along! "Shabang, shabang".
Let's go!
(Music stops.)
He did much better than I thought.
They wouldn't let him sing the second verse.
I think he learned from Hyun Bin.
It seems to me that Jo Young Gu had a great influence on him.
- Young Gu had an influence on him. - Depending on...
the person Sam Okyere meets...
- He has a mind like a sponge. - Sam Okyere.
He can absorb any kind of knowledge.
He absorbed Korean culture quickly.
Young Gu had a great influence on him.
- Do you know who Jo Young Gu is? - No.
(He answered right away.)
All right.
Now, shall we hear the song that N chose?
N!
(Embarrassed)
- I'm worried. - This is one of my favorite songs.
- It's an unexpected song choice. - It's Lee Sun Hee's song.
I danced to this song at a concert.
- This is a great song. - I didn't sing the song though.
After that performance,
I gave a similar performance at "2017 MBC Music Festival".
I got great reviews, so I prepared the same performance.
I understand.
- We won't be disappointed, right? - He'll wear a headset mic.
- A headset mic? - Yes.
- We won't be disappointed, right? - You won't be disappointed.
(He's complimenting himself.)
N will sing "Fate". You won't be disappointed.
(How will N's version of "Fate" be?)
("Fate" performed by N)
(Determined)
(He's full of confidence from the start.)
(Look how confident he is.)
(One more time!)
(I'll make you forget the fact that I'm not athletic.)
(With this dance!)
(Dancing gracefully)
(His dazzling dance moves make everyone hold their breath.)
(He's smiling like a proud dad.)
(See? I told you that you wouldn't be disappointed.)
(Everyone is immersed in his performance.)
(His moves are smooth, but sharp.)
(This is the traditional beauty of Korea.)
(His dance moves mesmerizes everyone as if they're in the paradise.)
(Wasn't it good?)
(His performance was like a traditional Korean painting.)
How do you think of his performance?
I felt like I was watching a Chinese movie.
(Like this)
You absorbed right away.
- You're incredible. - That was beautiful.
I think he's a type of person who is always prepared.
I need to memorize and practice thoroughly not to be too nervous.
I can see why the employees on the second floor complained.
His excessive enthusiasm tired the staff members out.
- They must have a lot to do. - It must be exhausting.
- They must be very busy. - In fact, when I called the writer,
she said I was the first idol singer...
- to do that. - They must have a lot to do.
Try to ignore people criticizing you while walking downstairs.
(Try to ignore people's criticisms.)
Calling your name also gives you positive energy.
So I'll call each one of you.
Mr. Samuel Hammington.
Mr. Cha Hak Yeon.
Mr. Kim Hee Tae.
- I'll call you by your full name. - Okay.
Samuel Nana Kwesi Okyere Jan Tuiniboa Coduia Dalco.
That's correct. You pronounced it well.
I hope we can hear a lot of people calling your names...
from various places.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
