(Gold medal!)
(The masters on the ice is shaking the entire nation.)
(Radio Star invited them at the speed of a gold medalist.)
(The real queen of speed skating, Lee Sang Hwa, pitches.)
(I'm Sang Hwa, the master.)
(This is Radio Star. We have no mercy.)
(Lee Sang Hwa can't get discouraged because she's full of confidence.)
(The gold medalist, not only for skating skills but also his looks)
(He says things that would make his fangirls happy.)
(Do you think you can say the same thing after 10 years?)
(Lee Seung Hoon, the sweet gold medalist)
(Lim Hyo Jun won the first gold medal for Korea.)
(It's his first time appearing on Radio Star.)
(He doesn't hesitate to say real names of his ideal types.)
(Nobody can do anything about his stories.)
(Lim Hyo Jun, the ruthless talker)
(I'm actually the fourth wheel today.)
(He's wearing an underwear wishing to become the host of Radio Star.)
He can earn the gold medal with what he's saying now.
(Kwak Yoon Gy, the cute talker)
(Tears, difficulties, crisis, and the charm of the legendary skaters)
("Three Boys and a Girl on the Ice" begins now.)
"Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games" was more fun than any show.
Kim Gook Jin, the first athlete, is doing his best despite his old age.
Look at his cute hosting ability.
He is doing just great.
Yoon Jong Shin is acting frivolous as always.
He was going fast at the in course, but at the out course...
Well, looks like he's hungover. He's really not doing well.
The third athlete, Kim Gu Ra, is lovely as always.
He should be on our side,
but he's dividing us blaming the framing.
But the way he's making people laugh...
is still great. He can earn the gold medal with that.
Cha Tae Hyun, the fourth athlete, is physically strong.
His performance is worth to watch.
He's stopping Gu Ra from racing ahead alone.
We always want to run alone, far ahead of the others.
This is a high-end running program,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Today, we invited four masters on the ice,
who are the most successful people these days.
"Three Boys and a Girl on the Ice" begins now!
She's the first Korean woman gold medalist of speed skating,
- That's amazing. - The record holder of 500m race.
That's really amazing.
At Pyeongchang Olympics, she won the silver medal,
that's more valuable than the gold medal.
She even left the most impressive scene at the game.
She's the queen of speed skating, Lee Sang Hwa!
At "Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics", he became the clown of the team,
dancing with his pelvis.
He came back to the ice for Pyeongchang Olympics.
He'll try his best to participate in "Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics"!
He's popular like a member of an idol group!
(Kwak Yoon Gy is popular like an idol group member.)
Did he become a member of the national team because of his looks?
He's a gold medalist for his skating skills and also for his looks.
He writes a story at every race with his overtaking skills!
He's the master of the twist!
He's the gold medalist of the mass start race.
And he is the very first champion of that race too!
- He's Lee Seung Hoon! - Yes, that was a new kind of race.
- That was actually fun. - I agree.
It was his 1st game at his 1st Olympics.
That medal was the first medal of Team Korea.
It was also his first time falling over at the relay race.
- Everything was new to him. - He is a young boy.
Lim Hyo Jun became the ace of short track speed skating in Korea.
- Welcome! - He's Lim Hyo Jun.
- Welcome. - Hello!
- Nice to meet you all. - Please close the door.
- Somebody should close the door. - Oh, I see.
- It's really nice to meet you. - Are you guys with...
management companies too? You all look great today.
Were you in the middle of eating?
- No, it's... - That looks like a bib.
You know, the one that babies use in case they spill anything.
- Oh, the bib! - You can get one at bbq places too.
- Please say hello to the viewers. - Are you really going to do that?
Even though I could only win the silver medal at Pyeongchang,
- That was amazing! - but I'm still the gold medalist,
- Lee Sang Hwa. - Welcome to the show!
- You did a great job! - She got 2 golds and 1 silver.
She won medals twice in a row!
2 golds and 1 silver... I'm sure she's going to get a huge pension.
Isn't that more than the maximum?
Kwak Yoon Gy, please introduce yourself to our viewers.
It's a bit embarrassing to be around the medalists.
I think I can be the fourth wheel today. That's my concept today.
- I'm Kwak Yoon Gy. - That's not important!
You won some medals in the past too.
It's difficult to be in the national team for several times like you.
That's really amazing.
I heard that national selection race is the most difficult one in Korea.
- That's actually true. - More than getting a gold medal.
Please introduce yourself, Lee Seung Hoon.
It's not just about skating skills.
We don't do that on the normal street.
I'm Lee Seung Hoon, and I do speed skating on the ice.
- Hello. - Welcome!
That was pretty funny.
- That's why you didn't tell us. - That's why!
- I told you guys. - I guess he prepared it by himself.
- That was funny. - It wasn't too bad at all.
Please introduce yourself, Lim Hyo Jun.
I'm Lim Hyo Jun, the short track speed skating national athlete.
I'm not going to cry if I ever fall again.
(Hyo Jun fell down at the 5,000m relay race.)
(Crying Hyo Jun)
I'm sure a lot of people know about this already,
but how old are you?
Among these uncles and the auntie...
Why would you call us like that?
- I'm 23. - Oh, I see.
- You were born in... - 1996.
- He was born in 1996. - He's a baby.
- I was already skating then. - He's a little chick.
Old!
The queen of speed skating, Lee Sang Hwa! I heard you are...
not looking at the sports part of the news at all after the Olympics,
and trying to be away from it as much as possible.
Well, from a year ago,
I just deleted that from my internet front page.
People were talking about my third Olympic medal.
That gave me a pressure. So I deleted the whole page.
That's how it has been for me for a while.
I'm like you in that way.
People put the entertainment part at the 2nd or the 3rd page.
But it's at the end of my page.
- People do hate him. - That's right.
So many articles have the titles talking negative things about him.
I'm reading articles about other people.
- But I can't read mine. - You don't have to read them.
- I'm not interested. - Yoon Gy...
You are only looking at the sports articles, Yoon Gy.
I do read articles about me quite often. I'm very different from her.
Even though there are a lot of bad comments about me,
that gives me some time to think about myself.
What kind of bad comments did you get this time?
"Why is he still acting like a clown?"
- Oh, really? - Yes, that's my image.
It looks like you want to be popular in show business too, right?
- I can see that too. - He prepared a lot for today.
- He really prepared so much. - No, that's not true.
You do have a quite funny face.
You have it.
- Funny face? - What does that mean?
What kind of funny face?
You look like someone who can make people laugh easily.
(He has a look to make people laugh easily.)
It's the first entertainment show for Hyo Jun today.
You seem to be full of confidence right now.
I heard you said, "I don't think I'll be bad on Radio Star."
Since I was young,
I've been watching a lot of entertainment shows.
- That's good. - Even my friends asked, "Which..."
"show do you want to be in after getting a medal at the Olympics?"
I said, "I want to be in Radio Star!"
You really wanted to be in our show.
He even prepared a lot for what he's wearing right now.
Did someone choose your clothes today?
Do you have a stylist?
- I chose this. - Did you?
- Really? - Look at his tie.
That's pretty unique. Inside...
That looks like a shoehorn.
(It's called fashion!)
Sang Hwa and Seung Hoon are speed skaters.
Two of you are...
- short track skaters. - That's right.
What's the biggest difference?
- You should tell them. - Training must be different too.
The biggest difference is...
For speed skating, the skaters have race on the 400m-long track.
Only two skaters do the race alternating in and out courses.
It's all about your record too.
Short track speed skating happens on the 111.12m-long track.
Many skaters do the race at the same time.
It's about who's the fastest among everyone.
It's not about your record.
From the traditional point of view,
it's a newer genre of skating.
How did it even begin as a real game?
I'm really curious.
There was only speed skating in the past.
- That's right. - Short track speed skating was...
derived from speed skating.
As I know, it was originated in Canada.
In Canada?
I heard it was in Austria.
- It's Canada. - So...
He didn't study it enough.
I like the way Yoon Gy speaks.
"Canada, Canada, Canada!"
(Funny Face made everyone laugh.)
I'm really curious about how it was started,
but I'm also curious about why Korea's good at it.
It's because of how much training we get.
I've seen skaters from other countries while training.
When they are tired, their coach let them take a break.
On the other hand,
our coach will tell us to do more even when we are exhausted.
The training gets more difficult and difficult as time goes by.
- So it's about the intensity. - I think that's what it is.
Yoon Gy, I heard you are close to everyone even though you are...
- doing the different skating. - I heard that too.
I'm really good at being friendly.
Even at the figure skaters?
- Well, that's... - Yoon Gy can't really...
- get close to figure skaters. - Really?
Why is it difficult?
- It's hard to get close to them. - Is that the one-way thing though?
Looks like you just cannot go close to Kim Yun A.
- You look like that. - He's a bit afraid of Yun A.
There's an invisible wall.
I'm a bit scared of her too.
- I don't know how to act now. - What?
You are almost in the same age, aren't you?
You keep treating her like she's older than you.
Actually, we are...
in the same age. Both of us were born in 1989.
We've met each other when we were in high school at the training center.
I was one grade above him then.
- Oh, that's why. - Yes.
- I was born early in 1989. - Oh, I see.
But I didn't know about that for a long time.
So I can't stop thinking that she's older than me.
Well, age really matters in the athletes' world.
- That's important. - That's true.
I was going to act differently at the end, but she said,
"If you want to do that,"
- "do the same to Mo Tae Bum too." - Yes, I said so.
I don't think I can do that.
We only have a year difference.
But Gu Ra is really treating me well.
He kneels in front of me.
(He's kneeling down.)
I don't even...
Get my dinner ready at the dining room later.
(Obedient)
Are you friends with Yun Sung Bin too?
As soon as he became a celebrity, I acted really friendly to him too.
He was gone at the closing ceremony.
I mean, we are pretty much together the whole time.
He was like, "Sang Hwa, I'll come back soon."
"I'll have to go find Kim Yeong Mi."
He said he would come back really soon.
- The woman of glasses! - Yes.
I...
I've seen them on TV, so I became their fan.
I'm like, "Oh, I saw her on TV!", and I wanted to meet them in person.
And Sang Hwa just wants to trap me in her bubble.
I need someone to be with me too.
I don't want to be bored.
He's just always gone to somewhere.
And I somehow find him being like this over there.
- Calling Yeong Mi? - Yes.
- Did you meet her? - Yes, I did.
And I said, "I know we've just met, but could you please..."
"take a picture with me? I'm sorry."
(Overly social)
Yeong Mi!
Yoon Gy! Yoon Gy!
He reminds me of Cho Jun Ho, the judo athlete.
- That's actually true. - I can see that too.
He was here with gold medalists too.
He wasn't sure why he was here.
He really said that on Radio Star.
He wasn't here.
- He was here. - You were not here.
Oh, right.
I'm sorry.
That's why you have to learn...
every time.
(He's just saying any words.)
Sang Hwa, I heard that you really hated Yoon Gy...
when you first saw him.
At first,
- Where did you meet him first? - Korean National Training Center.
- It was in the dining room. - The dining room.
He had been really polite...
and pleasant. I knew that.
Anyway, there were a lot of people because it was lunchtime.
The line was really long too.
Walking to there,
he was picking out his underwear.
It was really obvious too.
He was twisting his hips like this.
He was picking out his underwear.
- That's not fun. - He was picking it out.
I thought he was out of his mind or something.
(Shocking)
Why did you do that?
I just have big bottoms.
They are very pointy too.
So my underwear disappears between my cheeks often.
You can maybe cut it a little bit at home.
By the way,
you must be popular with girls, right?
- He really is. - That's what I thought.
I'm not aware of that because I'm short.
Jong Shin, you can't see much either, right?
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm living my life!
(Tearing up)
(I thought we were the same kind of people.)
- All right. - Yoon Gy, you are trying to...
take advantage of Sang Hwa's fame these days.
It's not only her.
- It's also Seung Hoon... - Actually,
and Hyo Jun.
after the selection race for Pyeongchang Olympics,
he said he was selected,
and he happily said that he's going with me and so on.
He also said, not only he cares about winning a medal,
he also cares about being with me to stand out.
He asked me to look after him well.
So...
Yoon Gy put up Sang Hwa's pictures all over his SNS account.
- It's his account. - That's...
three years ago.
It's three years before Pyeongchang Olympics.
I mean, he did that last year too.
But he deleted everything lately.
- Why? - Why?
"Sang Hwa, the CEO of Shinsegae group, Chung Yong Jin,"
(Why are we talking about him all of a sudden?)
"always deletes the late posts..."
"and put up new ones."
- That's why he is... - So Yoon Gy wants to...
He has less than 30 posts.
After I saw that,
I thought, "That's cool!"
So I started deleting things while putting up new things.
I was actually really sad.
You only want to keep newer posts.
Is Chung Yong Jin your role model or something?
Yes.
I don't know why,
but he was also following me too.
Oh, that's cool.
I want to say something to him...
since I'm here now.
Thank you in advance.
What?
I don't know why I'm like this now.
(I don't know what I'm talking about.)
So you trade Sang Hwa's autograph...
for a taxi fare when you didn't have money.
That's really...
Are you always carrying a bunch or something?
It's like the virtual currency.
(It's almost like a virtual currency.)
- That's actually true. - Do you have a lot of them?
What happened then was...
After Sochi Olympics,
we held this signing meeting with our fans in Busan.
Yoon Gy was in Busan for his own stuff.
And he visited me at the event.
He also stood in line and got my autograph too.
And he asked me if I have any money for taxi.
I was like, "I'm sorry, I have no money at the moment."
There were a lot of people waiting after him too.
Anyway, he left.
And told me this story.
He only had three dollars in his pocket.
So he said to the driver,
"Do you know Lee Sang Hwa?"
And the driver said, "Who doesn't know her?"
Yoon Gy showed my autograph to him,
and said, "Can you trade this for two dollars?"
- That's smart. - He asked that to the driver.
Did you actually get that autograph to do that?
- That's not it. - Oh, okay.
I was going to pay with my card.
But they didn't have the card reader then.
So...
- I think that's fine. - But...
You can even do that at a Chinese restaurant.
- "Here you are." - Oh...
- It's Lee Sang Hwa's autograph. - Why did you even stand in line...
to get her autograph when you guys are so close?
He just wanted to see me.
Since he was there too. I think he wanted to say hi.
I'm her fan too.
She's a great skater, you know.
You are good at going along with her.
(Smiling)
By the way, I heard you are...
afraid of Lim Hyo Jun too.
- It's actually... - He's even younger than you.
Well,
before he got the gold medal,
I could be rough with him.
But since he is a gold medalist now, he looks so different to me.
I keep making myself to read the air around him.
I used to tease him a lot too,
but now I'm asking him like, "Can I do this to you?"
Even when I talk to him on the phone,
I'm like, "Where are you? Can you please come here?"
Now I'm actually asking him.
Are you aware of that too?
I'm actually pretty stressed because of that.
Oh, you are actually stressed.
Yoon Gy puts up a lot of pictures of me...
on his SNS account.
- That's why! - Now it's Hyo Jun!
- Are there no pictures of you? - I guess it's always about others.
- So it's now changed to Hyo Jun. - It's...
- So it's changed from Sang Hwa. - I think that's what it is.
I needed someone who's more popular.
That's not what I meant.
- No, I mean... - That's...
(Joking)
He's a funny one. Tell me more.
So our fans are now calling him...
Hyo Jun's mom.
Hyo Jun's mom?
Who was in the first place at the selection race?
I was in the first place.
- "I was in the first place." - Hyo Jun...
must rank first at the moment, right?
Yes, he is.
Are you okay?
You can also say no to that.
(He could have said no too.)
(Go, Hyo Jun!)
By the way, Yoon Gy,
I heard your skills are actually the best in Korea at the moment.
If that's true, I would have won.
If I'm really good, I should rank first.
But he's the first.
It's Hyo Jun!
How did Hyo Jun win the first place when Yoon Gy has amazing skills?
Having great skills isn't everything.
(The betrayal of the son)
Why do you need more than skills? Physical strength?
You need that too.
You should be lucky too.
You are saying that he's skillful but unlucky.
- That's actually true. - He has no luck.
And Yoon Gy has less desire for winning.
(Embarrassed)
- That's the most important thing! - Goodness!
- He only has skills. - That's all.
- No, that's not it. - He's only about skills.
But Yoon Gy is always prepared without talking too much about it.
- He's always ready. - But he doesn't care about winning.
- That side of him is hidden inside. - How could he not get competitive?
- It's impossible. - I mean he's on the national team.
I get this vibe that Yoon Gy has a lot on his mind.
What do you want to do in the future, Yoon Gy?
Seriously?
It'd be great if I do well in Beijing.
- If that goes wrong, - Okay.
- He has a lot on his mind. - I can take one of these spots.
I told you.
- He gets a gold medal for talking. - That's what you meant.
(He's witty.)
(Gold Medal from Radio Star)
Hyo Jun, Yoon Gy is seven years older than you,
but you think he's immature.
- He's not competitive and childish. - Right. He's immature.
- Having techniques mean nothing. - I have nothing.
- "I have nothing"? - You have techniques.
Yoon Gy and I have a big age gap.
- Despite our age, - Okay.
- he's friendly and goofs around. - I see.
- That's a good thing. - I agree.
We have gotten close for the first time this year.
Before I had gotten to know him, I thought he was cool.
After I joined the national team, he wasn't what I expected.
- In what ways? - That happened.
He's too goofy.
- He's goofy? - But he's older than you.
- Yes. - He doesn't care about ranks.
- He must be the life of the party. - He brightens the mood.
- I don't want barriers among us. - He doesn't care about that.
- You did that on purpose. - We have to communicate better,
- so we can become a better team. - I see.
- Great. He has an important role. - Exactly.
- Athletes need more of that. - I agree.
You're doing a fine job smoothing things for other athletes.
When I was the new on the team, Seung Hoon was on the team too.
He helped me a lot to be part of the team.
I think I learned that from him.
Seung Hoon, you met Sang Hwa for the first time...
- when she was in elementary school. - I did.
He said that he felt a powerful vibe coming from her.
- When she was in elementary school? - But she was in elementary school.
I mean, the public perception of Sang Hwa...
isn't of a delicate woman as you noticed.
- She's a strong woman. - Right. She's charismatic too.
The records for skaters at a young age don't have a big difference.
- That's right. Guys get faster. - That's the case.
- Girls would be faster than boys. - At that time, Sang Hwa was...
- faster in 500m race than boys. - She was faster than them.
That's why I felt slightly more intimidated by Sang Hwa.
- The gap isn't huge at that age. - That's true.
- Girls can beat boys. - You know about my wife, right?
There are a few male tennis players...
who lost out to my wife when they were young.
- The difference wasn't huge. - I bet it was more than a few.
- She told me while watching TV. - That's true.
You're bragging about your wife a lot.
(I can no longer hold it back.)
- It's because... - When did she lose then?
- Seriously. - I'm the husband...
- of an athlete. - Are you a devoted husband?
- She was an athlete. - Are you that devoted to her?
Of course.
You are watching a high-end music program,
Radio Star with experts on ice.
Why don't we start today's special, "Three Boys and a Girl on the Ice"?
Let me tell you the medals today's guest won in Pyeongchang Olympics.
- 2 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze. - My gosh. Unbelievable.
Can you tell us how many medals you have won so far in total?
- Could you even count? - How many do you have in all?
- Did you win medals at other races? - I don't think they can count them.
- Yes. - Of course, they give out medals.
- There are too many to count. - What about from the Olympics?
Olympics and Asian Games.
I have won three medals in the Olympics.
- Three medals? I see. - Vancouver, Sochi, and Pyeongchang.
- Those medals matter the most. - Right?
- The number doesn't matter. - Olympics are the important ones.
Do you have only one?
- The more, the merrier. - That's true.
- How many do you have? - Tell us the number.
How many do you have, Seung Hoon?
I won five medals from the Olympics.
- Good for you. - I have seven from Asian Games.
(No wonder why he was bragging.)
- That's amazing. - What is that?
I think I won them from Vancouver, Sochi, and Pyeongchang in order.
We should get the good energy from them.
Which one is from Vancouver?
- This is the one. - That's from Vancouver Olympics?
Hey, don't touch it.
- This is beautiful. - That's so big.
They bend the medal like a fashionable medal.
- Yes, sort of. - Let me see. My gosh, it's heavy.
- This is from Sochi Olympics. - Sochi.
- It's a traditional-looking medal. - Everyone, touch it once.
- Let me touch it once. - Everyone should touch it once.
- Let's touch it. - This one is from Sochi Olympics.
In my opinion, Putin probably...
confirmed the design of it.
(He sneaks the medal and puts it on.)
- This is a traditional medal. - Right.
(I really wanted to try this.)
(Biting)
- The design of ours is pretty. - By the way,
the silver medal... That medal...
- It's so beautiful. - It's a beauty.
- They embroidered on this. - The design is very pretty.
- Is that from Pyeongchang? - Yes.
- Even Korean neck ribbon is better. - My gosh.
- It's beautiful. - Is that so?
- This is so nice. - Our medal is very pretty.
But this one is nice too. Look at this one.
- He wore it. When did you do that? - Did you hang it around your neck?
- I'm sorry. - This is so funny.
- Me too. When will I get to do it? - I know it's not mine...
- I mean... - You should do it too, Gu Ra.
- No. I'm fine with admiring it. - What?
- I'm okay. - Then I'll do it.
(Fine by me.)
- Sure. - Then I will wear this.
- That's not what I meant. - My goodness.
- I'm happy with just admiring them. - This is nice.
- This must be quite heavy. - I know, right?
- It's really heavy. - My head is lowering.
- Thank you. - It was an honor.
- Can we look at yours, Seung Hoon? - Okay.
- Yoon Gy, did you bring yours? - Be careful with them.
Why did you skip me?
- What's wrong? Don't be mean! - He said he didn't have one.
- Listen. - Performance isn't everything.
- What's wrong with you? - Seriously.
- Yoon Gy. - Why did you hurt his feeling?
- Mine looks the fanciest. - Exactly.
Silver medal.
I don't keep my medal like that.
I hang it in front of our table. It will be our heirloom.
- That's right. - We look at it every meal time.
- He would've been disappointed. - I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - You're unbelievable.
- That looks so cool. - That's a silver medal.
- I love the design. - It's pretty.
- It's beautiful. - 2010.
Silver medals from Vancouver are prettier than the old medals.
- That's why you won that one. - Right.
- Did you win that one on purpose? - It's because it's pretty.
- That's a beauty. - He won it on purpose.
- Silver medals are beautiful. - Let's look at Seung Hoon's.
- Seung Hoon's medals. - Two medals from this year.
- Yes. - It's from this year's Olympics.
- Yes. - I see.
Let me look at the gold medal.
- A gold medal from Pyeongchang. - That looks great.
- It looks pretty. - My gosh.
How beautiful.
- A gold medal from Pyeongchang. - Hey.
- Gu Ra, hang it around your neck. - Try it.
- Hang it around your neck. - It's not that.
- This is a great honor. - I'll just do this instead.
- Is that an identification badge? - This is how you do it.
- Are you a secret agent? - That's the gold medal.
- That's the gold medal. - The silver medal.
- You know when you close the lid, - Yes.
- that case... - I like the design of the case.
- That looks nice. - There's a magnet here.
- It's made of wood. - Is that magnetic?
- Yes. - Hold on. The magnet...
You have to turn it slightly.
How do I open this? My gosh, I can't do it.
- Do I need to turn it? I see. - "Speed skating..."
- You have to turn it. - Turn it gently.
- My goodness. - We can't open it.
- This sort of... - I see. That's how you do it.
- looks like a Frisbee. - What is that?
Is that a warranty?
- A warranty? - No, it's not a warranty.
- Seriously? - It's a congratulatory letter.
You think it's an expensive watch?
(IOC guarantees that the medals are from Korea.)
This is incredible.
- Were you still wearing that? - Yes.
- Everyone ought to put it on once. - But you know...
- gold medals are heavy. - They are truly amazing.
- They are heavy indeed. - Yes, they are.
- They look classy. - What about yours, Hyo Jun?
- I brought mine too. - It was his first Olympics.
- It was Korea's first gold medal. - A gold medal.
- It was Korea's first one. - And a bronze medal?
- He brought 1 more. - He has 2.
- He won 1 gold and 1 bronze medals. - Yes.
We haven't seen a bronze medal.
The color actually looks quite nice.
- Bronze medals are great. - Bronze medals are cool too.
It's like...
(Taking right away)
- This is the bronze medal. - It's so cool.
Bronze medals look great too. Don't people do this anymore?
- People used to do this a lot. - I love how it's not glossy.
- Oh, that. - Hyo Jun did that.
You did? I see.
We do it at least once because the reporters ask us to do it.
Why don't you get a gold tooth to match the medal?
(He makes no sense.)
- What do you think? - That's scary.
You can match it.
- Just to win a gold medal? - Wasn't that funny?
- You think that was funny? - Okay.
- Let me see the bronze medal. - The bronze medal.
The Olympics were more meaningful this year.
A long time ago, everyone only wanted gold medals.
- That's true. - Bronze medals are welcomed now...
- as well as the athletes... - Exactly.
who didn't win a medal.
- Lately, people appreciate... - I felt people had mature more.
- the process more than the result. - Right.
- The perspectives have changed. - That's so true.
Congratulations.
The medals are awesome.
There were many races that scored high ratings...
- during the Olympics. - I saw her race too.
Sang Hwa's race scored the highest ratings.
The accumulated ratings for all three major TV stations...
were 65.3 percent.
- 65 percent. - The whole country watched it.
The second place goes to Seung Hoon.
- The ratings are 57.4 percent. - My gosh.
- But... - But you didn't watch...
your own game, Sang Hwa?
- I can't still watch that game. - Really?
- This is your first time watching. - Why not?
- To be honest, - Do you not want to watch it?
- I wasn't happy with the result. - I get it.
I knew that I was in good condition and that I was skating fast.
Those few seconds must have disappointed you.
- It was at the curve. - I used too much time on that part.
I can't still bring myself to watch it.
You can turn around if you can't watch it today.
(Being considerate)
My goodness. What do I do?
- Gu Ra, my goodness. - We'll tell you what happened.
- Let's take a look. - Sang Hwa's first time watching it.
Lee Sang Hwa is on the outer lane.
She's the perfect skater for the outer lanes.
- We believe in you, Queen Sang Hwa. - That's right. Sang Hwa...
- "Queen Sang Hwa". - is on the outer lane.
You must have been so nervous then.
- It must've been nerve-wrecking. - She's going to start soon.
(She's still nervous in front of the starting line.)
(Her lips get dry.)
(He gets nervous too.)
This is incredible.
Ready.
"Ready".
(She reacts right away.)
- She hasn't watched it before. - She's on the outer lane.
- She had a good start. - This is her race in Korea.
- She had such a great start. - It was a great start.
- What a good start. - She was doing well so far.
(Sang Hwa's record in the beginning was excellent.)
She was doing great.
- Great! - She's catching up.
- She was doing well, right? - Sang Hwa...
- She must get closer. - She must switch the lanes.
- It was good. - I can't watch it.
(I can't watch it.)
- That one? - This is the spot.
- I was talking about this part. - Great.
(Sang Hwa can't watch the end of her game.)
- She's covering her face now. - Push it, push it!
- I can't watch it. - Push it!
- You can do this! - You're almost there! Push it!
(Sang Hwa tried her best until she crossed the finish line.)
37.33 seconds. 37.33 seconds.
- The last section disappointed you. - 37.33 is her record.
(Sang Hwa choked up after the race.)
(She chokes up with herself in the footage.)
(Patting on her back)
- How could she not at this point? - Exactly.
Records are just numbers.
- Of course. - She's still the queen of skaters.
- This is a great accomplishment. - She did a great job today.
- She put on a great race for us. - That's right.
- Tears were a mix of many feelings. - I bet. Yes, indeed.
- It was sad. It's the famous clip. - Was she crying at the end?
- Her friend is comforting her. - It was the clip of the year.
It was a moving race.
- She did her best. - That's right.
- Kodaira Nao and Sang Hwa are... - Right.
- showing a friendship of 10 years. - Right.
It means that they are good friends...
I can't watch this.
(Her long journey is evident in this short race.)
Why are you crying again, Sang Hwa?
- My gosh. - Sang Hwa...
Why are the writers crying?
- Where? Who's crying? - Look at the writer.
The writers started crying with you while watching the clip.
I mean, it was a good experience.
- She can't finish watching it. - I can't watch it.
- That clip was... - She should've seen that clip.
- the best clip of the Olympics. - She should have.
It stirred up a sensation on the news too.
- It was beyond nationalities. - Even I got teary.
- That's right. - I cried while watching the race.
- How was it? Did you cry... - I cried a lot while watching it.
at the end of the race because you were disappointed?
No, I was relieved that it was over.
I already won a gold medal in Sochi Olympics.
It was a hard journey to contend for my spot on Pyeongchang Olympics.
It was really hard to prepare for this particular event.
On top of that, I was suffering from an injury too.
I couldn't stop crying because I was relieved to be done.
Besides, I was in Korea too.
That's why...
The audience shouted and told me not to cry.
- That made me cry even more. - They told you not to cry?
- Everyone said the same thing. - "Don't cry."
So I ended up crying a lot.
- The whole vibe was emotional. - Which section...
- We don't know. Which part was it? - I saw it.
In my opinion, I thought she was really fast.
- The last curve I skated. - Okay.
I had to enter the curve without messing up.
- But I was rushing at that point. - You were rushing.
Kodaira already set the record for the Olympics.
- That's right. - She was in first at that time.
I thought I could win first place as long as I did well in that race...
- because I was in great condition. - I see.
I think my speed was 54 or 55km per hour.
But I couldn't handle the last curve.
- Because of the speed? - Yes, I worried I might fall.
That's why she should practice short track speed skating.
- I did many drills last year. - You know?
- But it didn't work out. - It's because of the corners.
- I guess corners are important. - They are very important.
- That's when they shorten the time. - But some skaters fall there.
But your race was better than winning a gold medal.
- Thank you. - I really thought you were great.
Was this year's Olympics your last?
Was it?
- Or will we see you more? - You haven't decided, have you?
- I haven't decided yet. - You shouldn't.
- I want to skate as long as... - You want to skate more?
- my health allows. - That's good thinking.
I haven't decided yet, but since it'd be the last Olympics...
- Korea would be hosting. - That's true.
- That sort of played a role. - What did you and Kodaira discuss?
- That was the most caring gesture. - I heard she spoke Korean to you.
She can speak simple Korean.
She and I had been friends since we were young.
- She studied beginner Korean. - I see.
Things like "Did you eat?" "How have you been?" "You did well."
- I... No, she didn't ask me that. - She didn't ask if you had eaten.
- After the race... "Did you eat?" - "Did you eat?"
- "Yes, I ate." - Hey, listen.
You're doing a lot of skits today.
- It was a serious moment. - And imagine Sang Hwa saying,
- "Yes, I ate." - You're making jokes today.
- What did you two talk about? - What did you talk about?
- She said, "Well done" in Korean? - I...
I was crying and circling around the rink. She was waiting for me.
- That was so cool. - Tears were already...
- in her eyes. - I see.
She told me that I did well.
- That made me cry a lot. - I can imagine.
I wanted to hear that I did well the most after I finished the race.
She knew what I had gone through.
I was so moved that a Japanese skater told me that I did well.
- She said that in Korean? - Yes.
She told me that she still respected me. I said I respected her too.
We both told each other that we were proud of each other.
- They are so mature. - She is older than Sang Hwa too.
She's three years older than me.
- This is competing in good faith. - Right.
- Because you had each other... - We could've been stronger.
- I agree. - Kodaira is an amazing skater too.
She's older, so it's hard for her to catch up with younger ones.
I find it inspiring that she set the record at a relatively old age.
- In order to beat me, - I bet she did.
she saw my videos and studied about me.
At one point, she was skating with a similar posture.
Her posture and techniques resemble mine.
She told me that herself and said it during the interview too.
She said that I was her role model. As she watched me skate,
she could improve and study more which helped her set the record.
- That's what she said. - Is she retiring now?
I think she might. She asked me...
if I would be competing in Beijing.
- I'm not sure. - She asked you that in Korean?
No, we talked in English.
- They should use English. - Language isn't of importance.
- But the thing is... - "Are you going to Beijing?"
- But that clip... - He's at it again.
"If you're going, I'll think about it too. What do you think?"
- That clip... - "What do you think, Sang Hwa?"
"Let's think about it after we eat."
He's doing a lot of skits like this one lately.
I believe that he's trying at least.
- We're not part of this skit. - Right.
(Gook Jin is lost.)
- That clip also... - I mean...
I heard that the clip created a sensation in Japan too.
Think about getting a matching T-shirt to show your friendship.
(Let our friendship last forever.)
Sang Hwa...
- couldn't watch her own race. - No.
You start crying when even Pyeongchang is mentioned.
I felt a lot of pressure just because our country was...
- hosting the event. - I can only imagine.
There were so many times I cried alone.
The press kept talking about the need for me to win the third medal.
- Pressure. - "When will you beat your friend?"
I was filling up gas, and someone approached me.
A lot of people asked me when I would be able to beat Kodaira Nao.
In the beginning, I'd be diplomatic about it.
I would say that I might win or lose. That's how I handled it.
It was just so hard when I kept hearing the same question...
which made it hard for me to prepare for the race.
Whenever someone mentioned the Olympics, I got all choked up.
(Her rival is herself 4 years ago.)
(She raced in the limelight and despite the pressure.)
(She's still Korea's pride.)
(Lee Sang Hwa was true to her reputation.)
Sang Hwa, you even went on a diet because of...
- the ice quality in Pyeongchang? - Yes.
- Is the ice different? - So it's like...
- My weight depends on the ice. - Why is that?
- Really? - Like in Calgary...
I experienced it myself because I have ridden on the ice...
- in Gangneung. - Can you skate fast there?
I had to weigh less for me to skate faster.
But what kind of factors determine the quality of the ice?
It must all come from water.
The ice maker is from Calgary, Canada.
- He was from there. - The ice maker is from there?
Is he like a barista? What's special about him?
- So in Canada... - Stop blurting things out.
- That was a bad one. - I mean, listen.
I bet he scrapes the ice to make shaved ice.
- "I froze it well." - This is not what I wanted to hear.
- This wasn't it. The ice maker... - But...
I was told that everyone who managed the ice quality was from overseas.
- That's what I heard. - They are all from Canada.
Ice makers from Canada came to manage the rink.
Skaters in Calgary and Salt Lake City...
break the world records the most.
They were invited to control the ice quality.
That's how we made the rink.
Many skaters set records in Korea as a result which was unexpected.
There were a lot of new Olympic records and world records.
Ice makers play a big role.
- Yes, they are very important. - It's different for figure skating?
- Yes, it's different. - How do they manage that?
- It's different for short track. - It varies for each event.
- The temperature is different too. - Really?
- The ice must make a difference. - I never knew this.
- It's better at higher altitudes. - It's better.
- It's hard at low altitudes. - It's very challenging.
The highest number of records were broken in the ice rink in Gangneung.
Seung Hoon made a new, personal record for...
- the 10,000m race in Pyeongchang. - I did.
(He competed in the 10,000m race.)
(He beat his personal record.)
Despite that, you still said you were a bit disappointed.
Before that race, my highest record was 12 minutes and 57 seconds.
Actually, I thought that I wouldn't be able to beat that record of mine.
- Now, I'm focusing on outskating... - You're getting old too.
the opponents and mass start.
I thought that it wouldn't be possible, but through this race,
I managed to beat my personal record, but I was ranked...
- fourth because of a second. - That's why.
That's why I was bummed out. I could've won a bronze medal.
But after that race, I met up with Hyo Jun the next day.
It was after Hyo Jun won a gold medal.
- It was Korea's first gold medal. - Right.
I told him that I was so close of getting a medal.
When I was disappointed about that, Hyo Jun...
did comfort me, but he smirked and said,
"Everything is all right, Seung Hoon."
He was sort of scoffing at me.
- I teased him. - He did tease me.
- You could've won a bronze medal. - Exactly.
Had he worked hard until the last moment, he could've shorten it.
- I asked why he didn't do so. - I tried my hardest until the end.
- I did my best until the end. - I bet this is what he thought.
"My gosh, Seung Hoon isn't competitive at all."
- But after that... - "He only has techniques."
But after that, Hyo Jun came...
- in 4th for the 1,000m race. - 4th place.
When we met again after that race,
Hyo Jun told me that he knew what I must have felt then.
What were you doing when he came in 4th for the 1,000m race?
I was doing the wave cheer with the crowd.
(Wave cheer is the best way to root for an athlete.)
Seung Hoon, others tried to talk you out of skating the 10,000m race?
Because that wasn't your main race?
My main races were the team pursuit and the mass start.
- But skating a 10,000m race... - Can you do that though?
- tires you out. - I bet.
Since my whole body might ache from the race,
they were worried.
When you skate for 12 minutes,
- I have great respect for you. - what do you think about?
I have to skate 25 laps to finish 10,000m.
I calculate how long I should take to finish each lap.
I do rough calculations. I keep thinking...
about my pace.
I thought about not competing...
in the 10,000m race for the team pursuit and mass start.
But if I didn't compete,
someone from another country would fill my spot.
- Right. - Since Korea was hosting the event,
I would have felt irresponsible if I didn't compete.
- That's why I decided to compete. - Right.
If you were one second faster,
you would have won a medal.
- It's unfortunate. - Yes.
It was thoughtful for him to participate.
You shouldn't have told him to try harder.
He should have said, "You did a good job."
(He should have said, "You did a good job.")
Seung Hoon, you won Silver Medal...
- in Team Pursuit. - That's right.
Would you give us the outline...
- of Team Pursuit? - Team Pursuit?
For Team Pursuit,
three skaters make a team...
and start on either side of the track.
The third skater to cross the finish line...
determines the team's time.
It's most physically demanding on the first skater.
The three skaters must each do their parts.
It's fun to watch.
It's like the choo-choo train game.
(It's like the choo-choo train game.)
You became worried when you heard about the teams for team pursuit.
The members of team pursuit...
are much younger than me.
Chung Jae Won and Kim Min Seok are high school students.
They are over 10 years younger than me.
I was worried since they are so young.
During the World Cup that came before the Olympics,
they did well in the first game.
There were four games before the Olympics.
The further they went,
the more they lost their energy.
We moved down the ranks.
I worried a lot for the Olympics.
Since you are over 10 years younger than your teammates,
you are like an uncle to them.
Do you feel the generation gap from time to time?
My roommate was Jae Won.
Jae Won played "Battlegrounds" diligently.
Teenagers use different language.
They use a completely different language.
He would wear headphones...
and swear.
People do that when they play games.
He didn't worry about me in the slightest.
That's right.
He didn't care who was next to him.
That's when I felt the generation gap.
Kim Min Seok and I were roommates.
We were roommates.
He always played games.
Whenever I came back from training, he was playing games.
I didn't know he could skate so well.
- You didn't know. - Since he was much younger,
I didn't know anything about him.
I asked him, "Are you here to play games?"
Then he returned with a medal in the 1,500m race.
He looked at me and said,
"I am here to make history."
At that moment,
I had nothing to say.
"Go ahead and play games."
(He backed off.)
It sounds funny.
"Are you here to play games, you dummy?"
("Are you here to play games, you dummy?")
It's something you would see in a novel. "You dummy."
(He is the best at playing games and speed skating.)
Seung Hoon...
- won Gold Medal in mass start. - Mass start.
The thing is,
not many people understand what it's about.
People can figure out team pursuit by watching the race.
Please explain mass start to us.
Simply put,
it's a short track race...
in a long track rink.
That's the easiest way of understanding it.
The skaters make 16 rounds.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd skaters to cross the finish line...
win medals.
In every fourth round,
the three leading skaters are given points.
Those points don't mean much in the final,
but they are important in the semi-finals.
You need them to move on to the next round.
If you have enough points,
can you win even if you finish second to the last?
A lot of points are given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd skaters.
- 60, 40, and 30. - The points don't matter...
in the final.
I am sure you have heard,
but Rhyu Si Min,
who is in "Ssulzun" with me, said this.
(Chung Jae Won played a big role in Lee Seung Hoon's Gold Medal.)
("Lee Seung Hoon says it was a team strategy.")
(Is it okay to work as a team in an individual race?)
There was a controversy.
What do you think about that?
Mass start is an event...
where the fellow skaters...
and team strategy play a big role.
European skaters...
are like the UN.
It's a common practice.
- Yes. - Other skaters do that.
I used to be alone in it,
but it's not easy to be against 4 or 5 skaters...
when you are alone.
Because Chung Jae Won moved to the final in the Olympics,
I could race more easily.
Before the Olympics,
you participated in mass start races in World Championships.
You saw how European skaters formed an alliance.
When I am in a race with European skaters,
one of them would make a spurt...
in the beginning.
I am the one who has to pursue him.
I pursue him...
because I aim to win.
When I do that,
he falls back...
and another skater who was resting makes a spurt.
- They would wear me down that way. - It would be impossible...
not to make the team effort in that situation.
There may have been a team effort,
but it was your talent that made you finish first.
There are many perspectives on this matter.
It's great that the event became more popular because of it.
It could be the charm of the event.
All right.
(We hope there won't be any more misunderstandings.)
Let's move on to Hyo Jun.
He suddenly gained a lot of fans.
- He has a pretty face. - That's right.
He is like an idol singer.
He looks like an Ivy League student.
I heard that you are embarrassed because you have so many fans.
What is that about?
I am on SNS.
How many followers did you have before the Olympics?
I had about 6,000 followers.
Now, I have close to 300,000 followers.
(295,000 followers)
So many people are rooting for me...
and taking an interest in me as an athlete.
I am thankful.
After the Olympics, I went to a coffeehouse...
named Starbucks.
You get to choose your nickname.
- What's your nickname? - My nickname is Ice Prince.
That's the nickname you chose for Starbucks points.
An employee went,
"Ice Prince,"
"your order is ready."
People around me...
They must have burst out laughing.
They laughed and clapped.
"He must love himself a lot."
"He is a big narcissist."
"Ice Prince?"
(This skater in the national team loves himself.)
I have a similar story. About five years ago,
I chose "Queen Sang Hwa" for my nickname.
- You chose it. - That's your Starbucks nickname.
"Your order is ready,"
"Queen Sang Hwa."
A chaos ensued.
I almost had a fan meeting there.
Things happen...
because of something like a nickname we chose without a second thought.
Yoon Gy, what's your nickname?
Mine was Cutie.
Cutie.
I didn't know that employees say it out loud.
I couldn't go and get my coffee.
"Cutie, your order of two coffee is ready."
"Okay!"
(It's not easy to drink coffee.)
I have a question.
What do skaters wear in uniforms?
- Underwear. - Regular underwear?
Yes. Underwear.
It's not athletic underwear.
No, it's not.
Yoon Gy, you said the most uncomfortable thing...
- is getting a wedgie. - Yes.
I have to pull my underwear constantly.
It became a part of my routine.
I have to do it before the race.
There is a tennis player, Rafael Nadal.
It seems like he gets a wedgie all the time.
He pulls his underwear before he serves.
- That's hilarious. - He does this.
It became a part of his routine.
- He pulls his underwear. - I can't help but do it.
If you don't mind me asking, I heard that...
you have strong buttocks.
Would you show us your buttocks? We are curious.
I guess I can do that.
Can you see them?
He does have strong buttocks.
He does. I get it now.
They are defined.
Yoon Gy is impressive.
- They are defined. - Yes, they are.
Your buttocks have a competitive streak.
(His body part has a competitive streak.)
Hyo Jun, you shed tears...
when you fell down during the 5,000m race.
Im Hyo Jun is moving...
He fell down.
They must hurry up.
Im Hyo Jun is shedding tears because he fell down.
I heard that the other skaters made fun of you...
instead of consoling you.
- Who instigated it? - How did they make fun of you?
Who instigated it?
- When did I make fun of you? - Who instigated it?
Did your teammates make fun of you?
I really like cars.
I often talk about them with older skaters.
When we talk about cars, they go,
"Hyo Jun, I could have gotten a new car."
They criticize me like that.
(They criticize me like that.)
"Because you fell down during the race,"
"I couldn't get a new car."
You get a prize money when you win a Gold Medal.
Whenever the topic comes up,
I hang my head.
When a skater falls down, the audience cheers...
because it's an unforeseen incident.
I didn't know it was the Korean team that fell.
I said, "We will place third at the very least!"
However, it was him.
(Solemn)
I see.
I am the most apologetic to Yoon Gy.
It's understandable.
- It was the only event... - That's right.
he participated in.
After the race,
he was so heartbroken that he was in tears.
I was sad when I saw him.
"Why are you crying?"
At first, I was dejected.
It was the only event I had in the Olympics.
- That's right. - Before the others...
He is attacking Hyo Jun on TV.
He must have been upset...
- even though he didn't say much. - You only had one event.
Yes. After consoling the younger skaters,
I went to see my family.
That's when I broke down.
That's when I bawled.
I bawled my eyes out.
Right after the race,
you said you will participate in the next Olympics.
- You said that. - When you go to Beijing,
you will be in your mid-30s.
You will be 34 or 35 years old.
I want to show the younger skaters that...
you can do well...
- even after you age. - That's right.
I never won a Gold Medal in the Olympics.
- You want to win a Gold Medal. - It's one of the reasons.
I hope you would give it a try.
Yoon Gy didn't win a medal during the Pyeongchang Olympics.
However, he is a record holder.
He is the shortest skater in the world.
Really? How tall are you?
I am 160cm tall.
- 160cm. - Really?
That's not true.
Okay.
Are you shorter?
(No way.)
- Are you 160cm tall? - Yes.
I had no idea.
That's not true.
You are a bit taller.
- I think... - When I say that...
he lied about his height to be the shortest one.
You have a Gold Medal in this matter.
When I say that, people go, "You are taller than I expected."
Seriously.
- It looks like... - He is aiming for that response.
he wants women to say,
"You are taller than I expected."
Yoon Gy put a lot of thoughts into this.
What's your real height?
160cm.
(You will be shocked when you see me in real life.)
Is it better for speed skaters to have an average height?
- An average height is the best. - 170cm is the best.
170cm.
What are some pros and cons?
Since I have never been tall, I can't answer for a tall skater.
When you are short,
you take up less space...
when you pass other skaters.
He can slip in.
- He can slip in. - When other skaters falter,
I can grab a chance and slip in.
- You are quick. - Yes.
- They can't block him. - Tall skaters think...
they blocked you, but you wiggle your way in.
That's right.
- That's right. - "Wasn't I blocking him?"
"Was there enough space?"
Yoon Gy, don't you get sensitive before the race?
- I did when I was Hyo Jun's age. - He still gets sensitive.
It happens before every race. He is usually very talkative.
Before every race, he does this.
(Sensitive)
- It can't be helped. - He becomes serious.
- You have a routine. - I pull my underwear.
Routines are important for athletes.
Pulling his underwear is a part of his routine.
It makes me less nervous.
Do you have any tattoos?
- No. - Are there athletes who have them?
- Yes, there are. - A lot of them have tattoos.
- Of course there are. - The four of you don't have them.
I don't have them.
You don't plan on getting one.
- Hyo Jun looks like... - Does he have one?
he has a tattoo.
I don't have a tattoo.
I think he made a reservation at a tattoo shop.
- It looks that way. - Seriously.
Some people get a tattoo of the Olympic flag.
- The Olympic flag! - I see.
So many people have that tattoo at Korean National Training Center.
- I see. - A tattoo of the Olympic flag.
Athletes want that tattoo after participating in the Olympics.
It's only common among athletes.
- That's right. - It's unique among non-athletes.
Why would Gook Jin get a tattoo of the Olympic flag?
Only those who are in the national team can get it.
Yoon Gy has the tattoo on the back of his neck.
- Show us. - You can show us.
You have a tattoo.
It's not something anyone can get.
That's why I covered my neck earlier.
Let's see it.
- All right. - It looks cool.
You should also get a tattoo of the wave.
(It's a tattoo only Yoon Gy can pull off.)
Sang Hwa, even though you have nerves of steel,
you get so nervous that you tremble at the starting line.
Yes, I get very nervous.
- Really? - You do this.
(Does she do this when she is nervous?)
That's...
- You looked very cute. - That's...
- She hacks at the ice. - Really?
(Embarrassed)
I hack at the ice...
- to find my position. - That's right.
The real problem comes after that.
Before we hear "Ready,"
- we have 2 or 3 seconds. - Yes.
- It's a very nerve-wracking moment. - I bet it's cutthroat.
You can't make a mistake...
because 0.01 seconds decide the winner.
My left foot was okay,
but I could feel...
my right foot shake.
Anyone would shake like you...
at the moment.
- That's right. - Right?
Is there a skater who shakes a lot?
Perhaps you have heard someone shake.
No one shakes that much.
- No one shakes that much. - No one shakes that much.
Do you practice starting at the sound of a gun?
- I practice on the ground. - That's right.
- The referee fires the gun. - That's right.
Every starter...
- has a specific timing. - It can't be the same for everyone.
It was unique. "Ready."
The starter was Korean.
(A speed skating starter, Oh Yong Seok)
I had a Korean starter.
I felt at ease because I have had him before.
However, I was still nervous about making a mistake.
What happens if you sneeze when the starter goes, "Ready"?
(It's a strange question.)
This happened once.
When the starter went, "Ready"...
- Athletes are only human. - When the starter went, "Ready,"
someone yelled, "Lee Sang Hwa is pretty!"
You shouldn't hear something like that.
I did hear it that day.
Perhaps you looked too pretty that day.
I don't know.
As I started, I thought, "This is bad."
- Really? - Yes.
- The record wasn't bad, was it? - It wasn't bad.
It was okay.
"I am pretty."
(There are grounds to Sang Hwa's confidence.)
Sang Hwa, when you get nervous to the point of shaking,
there is a song you listen to.
We warm up for three and a half hours...
to skate 37 seconds.
Since we need to bring up the tension,
we don't listen to ballad songs.
I always wondered which songs speed skaters listen to.
Which songs do you like?
I listened to songs by BTS and EXO.
They shouldn't listen to "Like It" before the race.
- The thing is... - "I am in pain."
- Actually, - It's understandable.
- it's in my playlist. - Is "Like It" in your playlist?
- You skip it, right? - I skip it.
(Cold-hearted)
You should take it out.
- Take it out. - Don't say that.
If a ballad song come on...
when I brought up the tension, I skip it right away.
I take it that the others don't listen to music.
I listen to music when I practice,
but I don't listen to music before the race.
I pay attention to the sound of the rink.
- How about you, Yoon Gy? - Short track skaters don't do that.
All of my teammates listen to music.
- I put on my headphones. - They listen to music a lot.
I don't listen to music, but I wear earphones.
You do what the others do.
I don't want to seem like a loner.
He is ridiculous.
He will put the plug in his pocket.
I don't expect him to hear me when I call him in the distance.
He goes, "Yes?"
He wears earphones to look cool.
(Call me anytime.)
Seung Hoon,
Bob de Jong was your rival.
You met him as your coach for this Olympics.
It's highly unusual.
- I was so happy to see him. - You were happy to see him.
It was great.
I first saw him when I was 10 years old.
I saw him compete in Nagano Olympics...
as a skater.
After 12 years,
we met as rivals in Vancouver Olympics.
He finished third and lifted me up at the podium.
It was an emotional moment.
When I heard that he is coming to Korea as a coach,
I was determined to learn many things from him.
We had many coaches from the Netherlands.
- I know. - Guus Hiddink.
What was different about him?
Coach Bob tells us...
how many minutes before the race we should practice,
put on skates,
and drink. He always has water.
After the race,
he gives us bananas and drinks.
- He pays attention to the details. - That's right.
There is a high chance his contract will be renewed, right?
I am not sure, but I would love that.
I see.
I heard that Coach Bob...
surprises everyone when he eats.
When we have a meal, he goes, "Eat up. Eat up."
Even when we have a meal with elders,
he goes, "Eat up."
- "Eat up." - "Eat up."
They get taken aback because he speaks so casually.
If someone eats ramyeon, he might go, "Is this a substitute?"
(Shocked)
I knew you would make that joke.
I was going to ask you to stop, but you had to do it.
"De Yong" sounds like "Substitute" in Korean.
I thought to myself,
"People must have thought about that joke."
I told the joke to represent the nation.
Which country are the ice skates from?
- My ice skates are Dutch. - They are Dutch.
The ice skates I wear for mass start are Korean.
They are Korean.
Back in the days, ice skates had laces.
- Don't they have laces? - The ice skates are so hard...
that your feet can't move in them.
- You still need to tie the laces. - There are laces.
You need to tie them.
(I see.)
- There are laces. - Where did you hear that?
Were you a skater?
You tied the laces on the ice skates back in the days.
They are very hard these days.
They are hard, but you tighten them with laces.
What do you do when your feet become swollen?
It's hard to skate in the morning...
because our feet are swollen from poor blood circulation.
When we practice, the swelling goes away.
You must cut your toenails short.
- I don't cut them short. - I see.
- She cuts them when they grow. - I cut them when they grow.
It hurts when you cut your toenails short.
(It must be the same for the skaters.)
Hyo Jun, you are determined to win against Ren Ziwei.
What is that about?
On a Chinese show, he was asked...
about the most memorable moment during the Olympics.
He said it's when I fell down.
What did he mean by that?
- Well... - He was smiling as he said it.
My goodness.
He was attacking you.
You should ask him...
to meet in the neutral zone like Harbin.
Harbin isn't a neutral zone.
- I am just saying. - It's in China.
I want to compete against him in the Beijing Olympics.
You will meet him for the World Championship.
Yes, I will.
You should win against him.
I think I will.
- He isn't much of a rival. - What?
- He isn't much of a rival. - Ren Ziwei isn't.
This part will definitely air.
"Yoon Gy says Ren Ziwei isn't much of a rival."
- "Hyo Jun is determined to win." - "Hyo Jun is determined to win."
(Hyo Jun is determined to win against Ren Ziwei.)
Advertisers, pay attention.
Sang Hwa wants to film a car commercial.
Didn't you film it before?
- I did. - It suits you.
I want to show a different image.
In the previous commercial, I skated against a car.
That's the easiest way to go about it.
When I get an offer to be in a commercial,
it's for tires.
It shows my strong side.
I want to dress up in a feminine way...
and drive.
You have a car in mind.
"I'm fast on the ground as well."
I want to say that.
- "I'm fast on the ground as well." - That's a good idea.
She has a nice voice. "I'm fast on the ground as well."
"I'm fast on the ground as well."
Please look at the camera.
Please say the line again while pretending you're driving.
While driving, I say, "I'm fast on the ground as well."
(What did I just see?)
All the advertisers, you saw that, right?
You can use her idea just as it is.
"I'm fast on the ground as well."
Meanwhile, Yoon Gy wants to appear in TV commercials with her.
- That's right. He keeps saying... - You're following her?
- In a smaller car. - Yes. I should follow her.
While driving, I say, "Wait up for me."
- You can't keep up with her? - Exactly.
- "You're too fast." - He kept saying, "Do it with me."
He kept asking me to let him tag along with me.
- It sounds like a good idea. - I can tag along anywhere.
- You can come out of the trunk. - That's also possible.
You say, "I was here."
- That's cute. - I think that'll happen soon.
(The little car with desire)
Sang Hwa started her career as a short track skater.
Why did you transfer to speed skating?
I was once cut in the face by someone else's skate.
I have a scar here.
- The one on this part? - I was practicing with others.
I felt pain, touched my face, and saw the blood on my glove.
That made me fear for short track skating.
- So I couldn't... - That's understandable.
I became traumatized, so I couldn't do it anymore.
- I'm too scared. - This is a scar, not a dimple.
- Really? - You got a cut too?
- It's a scar from a cut. - Were you cut by a skate too?
- Really? - Yes.
I got kicked with someone's heel while skating.
- It looks so natural. - I can see the scar.
That's right. It's as if you had dimple plastic surgery.
- And it went well. - Accentuate it.
I can see that now.
Hyo Jun, you became a short track skater because of a cotton swab.
- Please explain. - At first, my parents...
wanted me to be a swimmer.
However, while I was playing with a cotton swab, my eardrum ruptured.
(Shocked)
Did you put it too deep into your ear?
I was playing with it...
Did you try to put it in one ear and take it out of the other?
(Clapping cheerfully)
The characters in old cartoons used to do things like this.
- Like this. - There's a magic trick like this.
- It's a magic trick. - My eardrum ruptured.
- You could've been injured badly. - Do you have any hearing problems?
- I have no hearing problems. - Swimmers get water in their ears.
- Yes. - They need to clean the ears.
- I understand. - Were you traumatized by...
- what happened? - No, I wasn't.
That's a relief.
Yoon Gy, how did you become a short track skater?
- I was too picky with food. - I see.
I didn't like eating food.
My parents made me do sports as it might help me eat well.
- Could it be why you're short? - No.
My dad...
- Is your dad short as well? - Yes.
I'm the tallest in my family.
(I am the tallest in my family.)
You are watching...
a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the masters on the ice.
Seung Hoon injured his shin and got eight stitches,
but 10 days later, he won a gold medal at the Asian Games.
- Is this possible? - Right after I got injured,
not only the part around the cut,
- but the entire leg hurt. - It must've be swollen.
Yes, it was swollen a lot.
I thought I couldn't play in the Asian Games, so I packed my bag,
went back home, and got some rest.
However, after lying in the bed for two days,
I tried walking, and it was okay.
I also tried riding a bicycle, and it was okay. So I thought...
that I could skate as well.
So did you feel better and call the team?
- Yes, I did. - "I think I can skate now."
"Tell them I'm going too."
- The Asian Games... - "Tell them I'll win a medal."
- "Tell them I'll win a medal." - They left your position unfilled.
My position was left unfilled.
Also, I got injured during a team pursuit game.
I got the cut during the game.
- I was sorry to my junior skaters. - Right.
We were ranked first before I got injured.
I thought I should lead the team to victory in team pursuit.
So I decided to return to my team.
- That's a heartwarming story. - Exactly.
- That's another heartwarming story. - Right.
Sang Hwa, you set a new record while having a terrible cold.
It happened at the World Cup. I had already...
set a new record twice in Calgary Olympics before then.
I had to go to the US and prepare for the next game.
My body was telling me to rest, but I thought I could do it.
When I stood on the ice rink,
I told myself to give it a try. I set another new world record.
So I ran out of energy and had a fever of 40°C.
- Right after the game ended... - After the game ended,
- you got sick. - I loosened up and got sick.
If you take cold medicine, you would be in trouble...
- We can't take cold medicine. - Because of a dope test.
- I didn't take medicine. - Didn't you know that?
- He tried to become a pro golfer. - I knew...
- We should confirm the truth. - I knew that.
I wanted to emphasize the fact that she won...
- without even taking medicine. - There was a controversy.
- Common herbal medicine... - I see.
- has cholesterol in it. I mean, - In the past...
- steroid. - Are you saying...
that you take cholesterol intentionally?
- Is that what you mean? - "I love cholesterol."
Are you trying to get hyperlipidemia?
All right. There must've been times when they lost.
Sang Hwa, did you ruin a game because of your skate laces?
It was when I was ranked first in the World Cup games.
- She has strings indeed. - I was in the last group.
I had to wait until the 10th group match begins.
I usually go into the ice rink when the third group match begins...
to do my warm-ups until my match begins.
However, I was lacing my skates while the first group was playing,
and my skate lace snapped.
I was in the 10th group, so I needed to do a warm-up before my game.
I checked the scoreboard. The 4th and 5th groups had been done.
The sixth group match had begun. My coach took his lace...
out of his skate and lent it to me. So I laced my skate with it.
But the way of lacing skates makes a difference.
It felt so different.
- You can sense that difference. - Yes.
It shouldn't be too tight or too loose.
- It should be moderate. - It depends on a person.
Don't you carry extra skate laces with you?
Yes, but I didn't have time to go downstairs to get them.
So I came in fourth.
People like us might not feel it,
- but you feel a slight difference. - Yes, I can feel it.
The type of skate laces is also very important.
What types are there?
Some speed skaters use waxed laces...
while the others prefer unwaxed ones.
- I didn't know that. - How did the lace snap?
- It can when it's worn. - I lace my skates tight...
and the laces wear out.
Sang Hwa always wears her skates...
without socks.
- That's right. - I think you'd get a blister.
- No. It's more comfortable. - Her skates must fit her perfectly.
I customized my skates to fit my feet.
Just like handmade shoes. So it's more comfortable that way.
- Foreign players also do that. - Many players don't wear socks?
We thought your feet might be scraped.
- In that case... - Do they fit each of your toe?
- They're not shaped like feet? - No, they don't.
- They're just like common shoes. - Like toe socks?
- I thought... - That's an unusual way of thinking.
- it would be more comfortable. - Like toe socks?
(They're so funny.)
- Seung Hoon, do you not wear socks? - I don't wear socks.
Most of speed skaters wear skates without socks.
- Short track skaters wear socks. - They wear socks.
It feels more comfortable when wearing socks in short track.
- Is that right? - Why does it feel more comfortable?
That's just how they feel.
- Am I right? - Did I ask you?
- Did I ask you? - That's just how they feel.
I meant to ask you how different they feel.
- It feels... - It feels good, right?
- That's right. - That's it.
I don't understand him.
In short track skating, I feel less sharp...
- when I don't wear socks. - That's interesting.
Since we're talking about her bare feet,
she has calluses all over the soles of her feet.
- I'm talking about Sang Hwa. - Me?
She has calluses all over the soles of her feet.
- My feet were pressed down... - That's unbelievable.
- I do have calluses though. - Your feet are all scratched.
You didn't tape your feet, right?
- No, I didn't. - It looks like...
- I thought that was a tape. - Those are calluses.
- Your heels are scratched. - My heels look like that...
- because they were scratched. - Repeatedly, right?
- Is that so? - When I was a child, it was worse.
My dad washed my feet every day when I was a child.
You should take care of that since you're a child.
My dad trimmed it with a nail clipper, and I got better.
- I see. - My feet look much better now.
Is it the same for everyone else?
- I'm sure it is. - No.
- My feet are very clean. - Really?
- I... - How is that?
Is it different for short track skating?
- In fact... - I think I know why.
My feet are quite clean too. It's different for every skater.
- Some have clean feet... - Most short track skaters...
- It's because they wear socks. - have a bump on their feet.
- On the top of the feet? - You have that...
when you keep skating even though your feet hurt.
I can't endure any pain.
- I stop skating when my feet hurt. - He stops skating.
- You stop skating. - That's why my feet are clean.
Sang Hwa, you had never let your parents...
come to watch your games,
but they went to your games this year.
Is it because the Olympics were held in Pyeongchang?
I just felt pressured.
Also, I get more nervous when my parents were watching me.
They wanted to come to my games at the Olympics, but I didn't let them.
- I'm sure they wanted to see you. - Yes.
They really wanted to watch my games.
So I decided to invite them to Pyeongchang Olympics.
Since the Olympics were held in my country,
it would be such an honor to me.
Before the game began,
I saw my dad, mom, and brother in the audience.
Did you see them?
I could see them.
They didn't tell me where they would sit.
- I got emotional suddenly. - Right.
Yes.
Did you see this photo?
He was looking at his phone.
My dad was watching the live broadcast on his phone.
- I understand. - I'm sure it was hard for him...
- to watch you on the ice. - That's right.
While Sang Hwa was skating around the track,
she chocked again at some point.
- That's when I saw my parents. - Right?
Her dad removed the calluses.
She was calming her down, but at some point...
I cried again.
(After the match, while she was skating around the track,)
(she got emotional.)
(It turns out she saw her family in the audience.)
(When she saw her family,)
(Sang Hwa couldn't stop her tears from falling.)
- I saw my parents' faces. - At that moment,
I thought you must've seen your parents.
- Hyo Jun, are you flat-footed? - Yes, I am.
- I have severe flat feet, - Do you?
so my feet hurt so much after walking just for a while.
However, I heard that having flat feet...
can be an advantage in skating.
- Is that so? - Many people said that.
It's because he can use the entire skate blade.
- We have to push our feet. - I see.
- But he can use the entire blade. - He can move his feet like this.
The soles of my feet stick to the skates.
You're born to be a skater.
Most people have an arch.
Seung Hoon, are you flat-footed as well?
My feet aren't completely flat,
but when I stand barefooted, almost entire soles touch the floor.
Our feet shape changed.
I had arched feet before,
- they became flat while skating. - It changed.
- They got flattened. - I see.
- Yoon Gy, are your feet arched? - I think he has arched feet.
- They're arched, right? - He has arched feet.
- No. My feet also got flattened. - I see.
Your feet shape changed.
He thought he shouldn't go that far.
"I'm a national team player."
- Your feet got flattened. - "I'm an Olympic medalist."
Hyo Jun is obsessed with his socks,
and Yoon Gy is obsessed with his underwear.
I wear the same socks in every match.
They're black stockings.
I would be in trouble without them.
I can't focus on... I can't even play in a match.
- Is that so? - I like...
how they stick to the skates.
- It feels good. - Yes.
He should buy up a lot of them.
Exactly. He should stockpile them.
I went shopping for socks before the Olympics.
They ran out of the same socks.
I was worried because I needed them for the Olympics.
They had only one pair left.
I needed to wear them in my match,
so I saved them until my match.
I wore them on the day of my match at last.
Do you have only one pair now?
- Yes, I have only one pair. - I'm worried.
So I'm looking for other socks to replace them.
- He's very sensitive. - Indeed.
Is your obsession similar to his?
It's a jinx I used to have before.
- He has a jinx as well. - Yes.
I decided on underwear for each day until my match.
I chose the underwear for the match as well.
- To boost up my energy. - Underwear for matches?
Are they briefs or boxer briefs?
- They're all boxer briefs. - I see.
- Boxer briefs? - Briefs are very uncomfortable.
- I know what you mean. - Sometimes,
my training schedule changed.
Then I changed the order of my underwear.
- You reorganize them. - Yes.
You reorganize your underwear except for the one for the match.
I can imagine you thinking hard while watching your underwear.
So I decided to wear the same color to break my jinx.
- What color? - Black.
Why did you choose black?
Black underwear doesn't get dirty easily.
What color was your underwear for your matches?
It was red.
(He wore red underwear in his matches.)
Our today's guests are all very handsome and pretty as well.
However, Sang Hwa said...
that she became ugly...
- Why? - as she grew up.
Well... Let's take a look.
- She looks so pretty in the photos. - I'm embarrassed.
(Sang Hwa's photos as a child are revealed.)
- I look pretty. - Is the girl in the middle you?
- All the three are me. - All of them.
Except for him.
- All of them? - He's my elder brother.
I think this is when you were the youngest.
- I was 4. I started kindergarten. - You were 4.
You dressed like a native American.
Yes, I was playing the chief.
- He's your brother, right? - Yes, he's my elder brother.
I think I was seven.
- And I was nine. - Your brother looks so cute too.
However, you think you were prettier when you were a child?
- You think you looked better. - It's...
When I compare my appearances to how I looked before,
I think I looked prettier when I was a child.
I wish I could turn back time.
Do you guys agree with her?
Do you also think she looked better before?
- Seung Hoon, you saw her back then. - You saw her when she was a child.
Sang Hwa was very popular with boys in elementary and middle schools.
Is that your answer?
(Is that your answer?)
Are you saying she was the prettiest back then?
I'm sure she would admit it.
Yes. I think I looked prettier when I was a child.
Yoon Gy, do you think so too?
Sang Hwa looks the prettiest now.
- I knew it. - He knows how to survive.
He wants to co-star with her in TV commercials.
(Of course.)
Seung Hoon once said on a TV show...
that if skaters were ranked by their appearances,
he would win the gold medal.
(Embarrassed)
I see.
You look a little like Dr. Pyo Jin In.
Who do I look like?
Dr. Pyo Jin In.
- He looks like Dr. Pyo. - Right.
(Gu Ra said it again.)
That's good. I look like Dr. Pyo.
Yoon Gy has been feeling...
a lassitude because of his face. What does that mean?
- Are you tired of your own face? - Yes.
When I see Hyo Jun,
he looks different...
- He's different. - He has a different vibe.
He has a face of young people of the new generation.
He looks young and fresh,
but I look mature and have strong features.
So I wish I could have a face like his.
You have a charming face.
- You have a sharp nose. - Exactly. He's handsome.
I think...
Yoon Gy looks the most handsome now.
(Seung Hoon thinks he looks better than before.)
(Laughing)
- I saw him in elementary school. - How did he look?
He was short and had dark skin, right?
He wore plastic frame glasses.
- He's right. - Right?
He said Yoon Gy became really handsome...
and sent us a photo as evidence.
(Yoon Gy's photo when he was a child will be revealed.)
This is him.
- He looks like Yu Jae Seok. - Right.
He looks just the same as Jae Seok.
- He looks the same as Jae Seok. - He looks like Jae Seok.
He looks like Jae Seok.
He also looks like Comedian Jang Yong.
- You're right. - He looks a bit like Jang Yong.
I think he looks like Jae Seok.
- He looks like many celebrities. - Exactly.
I thought Jae Seok went to interview them.
When was this taken?
Was I in sixth grade, Seung Hoon?
- I was in eighth grade. - Are you in this photo as well?
- He's right here. - Yes, the one in red is me.
- This is you, right? - Yes.
I thought I was the most handsome at that time.
(We are the best.)
I'm sure...
that Yoon Gy prepared something funny to show us.
Let's see his special talents.
I'm good friends with Singer Kim Feel.
- Kim Feel? - Yes.
I asked him to evaluate my singing and imitating skills over the phone.
You asked Feel to do that?
- Did he give you a pass? - Feel sings really well.
After he heard everything,
he sighed deeply and said,
"Do you really have to do that on the show?"
"Well, it will be edited out anyway. Do as you want."
Considering his personality,
he'll get sick if he doesn't do that.
(He got caught.)
All right. What are you going to show us?
First, I'll imitate Oh Kwang Rok.
- Oh Kwang Rok. - Oh Kwang Rok.
- It's really short. - Okay.
(Exclaiming)
(The end)
- Is that it? - Yes.
- Like I said, it's short. - Let's move on.
Do it again since it's too short.
- It sounded like Kwang Rok's voice. - Right.
- That's good. - Okay. What else?
- Lee Jung Jae. - Lee Jung Jae?
He told me not to do this no matter what.
You're going to say, "I have the face of a king."
(It's Jung Jae's line in "The Face Reader".)
- All right. - No.
Why would you discourage him?
That's the most famous line.
I won't sound like Jung Jae.
I'll just imitate his acting performance.
Yoon Gy's acting performance.
(He's transforming into Jung Jae.)
(Tae Hyun is excited.)
"However, it seems odd."
(Laughing)
- Wait. - It was good.
It was good. It was very good.
- It was a good start. - I loved it.
- It was really good. - Go on.
- I like it. - Cue.
"However, it seems odd."
"I have already become the King, but I have a face to become a king."
"It is simply nonsense."
"However, I had you read my face."
"I will pay you."
(He's doing it to the end.)
(Take this.)
What was this?
He shoots an arrow at the end.
(He practiced every detail.)
I think this gesture was a little...
He looked like someone else other than Jung Jae.
Feel said, "You sound like yourself, not him."
- It was fun. - Tae Hyun.
Will you imitate me?
- I'll just give it a try. - Okay.
What will he do? No one has ever imitated me.
"I have done nothing wrong."
(Kim Ja Hong's line)
That's funny. I like it.
- It's funny. - I remember that scene.
"Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds".
I enjoyed the movie so much.
One more time.
- "I have done nothing wrong." - Did I say it like that?
"I have done nothing wrong."
Right. That's the original.
- It was good. - Thanks.
- It was really funny. - It was funny.
All right. Yoon Gy...
His ideal type of woman is similar to Jong Shin's.
- My ideal type of woman? - A tall woman.
I like a woman who has what I don't have.
How tall do you want her to be?
About 170cm...
- 175cm? - Between 173cm and 174cm.
My wife is 6cm taller than I am.
- I find a tall woman fabulous. - Right.
A short man looks competent as well.
- When he's with a tall woman? - Yes.
But you have to show confidence.
(Your face have to look confident.)
(I see.)
Hyo Jun, what's your ideal type?
I'm not a person who sets standards like that.
I see.
He keeps pointing out things like that.
He subtly criticizes Yoon Gy.
Whenever he speaks,
he talks differently.
- So what's your ideal type? - I just want someone...
Since I'm an athlete,
I hope she'll understand me.
Young people these days are the same.
- They value... - That's amazing.
(Sarcastic)
Can you think of anyone we know that's close to your ideal type?
- Among girl group members? - I said...
that I liked Joy of Red Velvet.
- Joy? - Joy?
Joy is quite tall.
- Is she? - Yes.
I said that on TV.
A little while later,
I said I liked Jennie of Black Pink.
- Jennie of Black Pink. - I'm just a fan.
- He changed his mind quickly. - I like them as a fan.
When I said I like Joy, Red Velvet fans said...
You liked Joy at first.
"Lim Hyo Jun is a great athlete."
When I said I like Jennie,
they posted harsh comments.
- That's understandable. - I was criticized so much.
- That's okay. - I'm not that kind of person.
(I like Joy and Jennie as a fan.)
Seung Hoon wants to skate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
But before the Pyeongchang Olympics,
he said in interviews that he wanted to retire after the Olympics.
- That's right. - You said it in several interviews.
Will you play in the Beijing Olympics?
I did the interviews right after the Sochi Olympics.
It was so hard for me.
The training and other things were too much for me.
But while preparing for the Pyeongchang Olympics,
I got much better gradually.
After the Pyeongchang Olympics,
especially when I finished the 10,000m match,
I decided to play in the Beijing Olympics too.
A challenge is a good thing.
What's the average age for skaters to set the best record?
As for speed skaters,
- it's between 30 and 35. - 5 years?
It lasts longer than I thought.
- Coach Bob De Jong... - It's a long track speed skating.
- won a gold medal at the age of 39. - Bob De Jong?
He's amazing.
- I guess he'll do well. - Then I think you can do it too.
I heard you have a dream after your retirement.
After my retirement, I want to become a house husband.
It would suit you. I think you'll take care of house chores well.
I clean the house, do the laundry,
- You decorate your house. - and wash dishes.
Who will make money?
Well... It's just my dream.
(He hasn't thought of it yet.)
He's saying that he'll do both.
It'd be nice if I can be a house husband, but house chores are hard.
You like doing house chores. You must be tidy.
Does cleaning the house make you feel great?
It's not like that.
- Do you feel happy? - I just enjoy that time.
Also, I like watching my wife resting while I'm cleaning.
(He's a romanticist.)
Do you think you can say the same thing 10 years later?
Yes, I do. My dad likes it more than I do.
- Then it's understandable. - He likes it very much.
What does your mom do while he's doing chores?
- She rests. - Really?
- It runs in his family. - Exactly.
I want to become a family man just like my dad.
- I see. - Just like my dad.
- It's a good thing. - He's the type most women like.
It's good.
Hyo Jun set an even clearer goal after the Pyeongchang Olympics.
Winning a gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics...
had been my goal.
To achieve that goal,
I had to go through hard times,
but I was able to overcome the difficulties.
After I won the gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics,
I realized that I had no clear goal anymore.
- You had already achieved it. - Right.
So my new goal is to defeat Seung Hoon at the Beijing Olympics.
- To defeat Seung Hoon... - In the mass start.
- Really? - Yes.
I'll win if only I can beat him.
(He's the first champion.)
You'll pursue that goal from now on.
I don't mind if I don't win a gold medal.
At the Beijing Olympics, I won't mind if it's silver or bronze.
Any color would be fine.
I won the most Olympic medals among all Asian skaters.
- I want to win more medals. - Right.
How are you going to defeat Seung Hoon?
In the mass start.
Will you skate right behind him in the beginning?
- He could do that. - I'll skate behind Seung Hoon,
and I'll also use the thrust of the blade.
Seung Hoon...
I want to defeat him by one second.
There have been a lot of junior skaters...
who said they would defeat me,
(Flaming desire for victory)
- but none has defeated me. - Right.
(The champion is confident.)
This is intense.
- I hope Hyo Jun will pull it off. - Right.
You're saying that he should defeat Jae Won first, right?
(The 18-year-old rising star)
"Hey. Jae Won is a good player."
"Do you think he'll just let you win?"
(We wish both of you good luck in the Beijing Olympics.)
Yoon Gy, don't you want to defeat him in the mass start...
I can't even think of defeating him.
He's decided on his path.
(He has a clear plan for the future.)
- "I'll remain by their side." - He wants to appear in commercials.
Do you think you can never defeat him?
I can't hold a candle to him.
I can only watch them from behind.
Imagine him practice really hard after saying this.
(Jong Shin ruined the mood.)
(He's taken aback.)
That's right. "My techniques are better."
(Funny Face makes them laugh even by being modest.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for the skaters who worked hard on the ice.
"The Song That I Want to Sing to My Tired Self".
First, shall we hear the song that Seung Hoon chose?
(Smiling)
You chose this song because of your wife.
- This song is for his wife. - It's "Gift" by UN.
- He should sing this song for her. - Why did you...
My wife liked it when I sang this song for her.
(I see.)
- Shall we hear him sing? - Okay.
You'll go first?
It begins right away like this?
("Gift" sung by Lee Seung Hoon)
He started off well. It was a good start.
(A serious look)
- He's good. - Indeed.
(To my loving wife)
(Cheer for me another four years.)
(I'll win a few more medals at the Beijing Olympics.)
(Leave the house chores to me.)
(I promise you I'll mop the floor faster than anyone else.)
(My dream is to become the domestic king.)
(He's ranked first in house chores!)
(He also has a handsome face.)
(I promise you I'll win a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.)
(This is a new side to the skater who won the most medals in Asia.)
- He did a good job without a hitch. - He's good.
- He sings well. It was good. - I'm impressed.
- He sang it from his heart. - That's right.
Singing techniques don't matter when we can see his honest feelings.
He did a good job.
Now, let's hear the song that Yoon Gy chose.
- Yoon Gy. - You're the gold medalist today.
(Moving to the music)
He chose a difficult song.
- He wants to impress everyone. - It's John Park's song.
Why did you choose this song?
Well... I discussed with Feel.
Kim Feel?
Feel gave you a lot of tips.
I'm terrible at singing.
He and John have something in common.
John...
Why would you pronounce "John" like that?
- "John Park". - That's how you pronounce it.
Even John himself doesn't pronounce his name like that.
- Don't exaggerate it too much. - John...
He has a strong lower body.
- "John". - He came on this show a few times.
Okay. Let's hear him sing John Park's song.
Some people might think he lived overseas for a very long time.
You lived in Incheon.
(Kim Gu Ra, age 49, Born and raised in Incheon)
- Let's give him a hand. - Let's hear him sing.
- I'm excited about his performance. - Good luck.
Nice.
("Thought of You" sung by Kwak Yoon Gy)
(Cute)
Feel, what are you going to do about this?
Gosh. Feel.
I knew it.
(He continues singing.)
(He's so cute.)
(When I wake up in the morning, I think of you)
(Hyo Jun, I could have bought a new car.)
(Drinking up)
(He sings falsetto.)
(The familiar scent)
(I'm being tinged with you)
- My goodness. - I like the emotion.
(His lovely actions mesmerize Radio Star.)
That was impressive.
(His lovely actions mesmerize Radio Star.)
(He dances awkwardly.)
(The smile like a proud dad.)
(I'm short, but the tallest in my family.)
(Singing falsetto)
(He exudes his playful charm.)
- Thank you. - Good job.
He has a pure personality like organic food.
He sings falsetto as well as Jo Kwan Woo.
(I think I could sing eight octaves.)
When the staff members thought of editing his performance out,
he sang falsetto and changed their mind.
- He also did the hip dance. - That's right.
(His irresistibly dazzling dance can't be edited out.)
Today's theme was "Three Boys and a Girl on the Ice".
I'll ask you all the last question.
What does the Pyeongchang Olympics mean to you?
Hyo Jun, you go first.
It was the turning point of my life. I'd like to put it that way.
I think I tasted the best and the worst.
I believe it will be a chance for me to improve myself.
I will continue to strive my utmost.
I hope many people will love short track skating.
Seung Hoon.
I don't think I can forget the love support that I received...
at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
I won't forget that feeling,
bring the spirit to the Beijing Olympics,
and try my best to get good results.
Yoon Gy.
I...
I have a lot of things to regret about my match.
So I'll think of it as the sign...
that I should try harder with all my might.
I hope I will do well in the next Olympics so I won't regret.
Thank you.
I also have a lot to regret about the Pyeongchang Olympics.
However, I was able to gain great achievement in women's 500m.
It will remain in my memory for a long time.
Also, I don't think I can forget the love and support either.
Keeping the memory in my heart,
I will do my very best as long as I can stand on the ice rink.
Our writer asked Sang Hwa in the interview,
"You're good. You're pretty. You're cool."
"Which one would you like to hear from people?"
She said she wanted to hear people say, "You did a good job."
You all made us very happy during the Olympics.
Regardless of the color of the medal you won,
you all did a good job.
You guys did a great job. We all appreciate it.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
