It's so windy.
It's cold.
(Flying)
(In this place where the cold wind rages...)
(is the hot autograph event.)
(Excited)
Hello.
Hey. Good to see you.
I didn't expect to see you here.
You're here. I can't miss it.
What a surprise.
Are you pregnant?
- It's my second child. - Really?
Best wishes with the delivery.
- Do I just go after the autograph? - It's cold.
(Exclamation)
It's cold.
We're in Daegu.
(Gyeong Gyu and Ho Dong enter Daegu Metropolitan City.)
We haven't been to a different region for a long time.
Is this Dongdaegu Station?
Daegu and I...
have a close connection.
- Daegu? - Of course.
When I created "A Bloody Battle for Revenge",
it was sold out in Daegu.
"Highway Star" and "Born to Sing" too.
They were sold out in Daegu only.
- I love Daegu residents. - Really?
I always thought I should pay a visit, and I'm here today.
I'm very excited.
We're going to succeed for sure today.
Daegu is known for...
- very hot weather in summer. - Yes.
It has a nickname, Daefrica.
It's located in a basin.
- It's surrounded by mountains. - Deagu is very hot.
How about its food?
Pork entrails and tripe are famous.
- Right. Daegu is famous for that. - entrails and tripe.
(Daegu is actually where Korean fried chicken originated from.)
(Famous chicken brands)
(Hot franchise chicken brands)
- Its apples are famous. - Yes. Apples and textiles.
- Textiles were famous in the past. - Textiles.
- It's the city of beauties. - The city of beauties.
are our guests...
- Are they from Daegu? - Probably.
What is that? Autograph event?
(What caught Gyeong Gyu and Ho Dong's attention is...)
What is this? "Hot autograph event"?
There is a lineup. Who is it?
(The autograph event is getting hot.)
There is a lineup.
I'm falling behind.
(Busy)
Whom are they lining up for?
I think they're our guests.
I see their faces. I think it's H.O.T.
(Gyeong Gyu is more confident than usual.)
Does the name come from their group name?
It's a hot autograph event, but it's not that hot.
My hands are frozen.
(Laughing)
Those two...
Kangta.
Long time no see. Are you having an autograph event in this weather?
- Would you like one? - It's all right.
What a coincidence.
- Hello. - We must be meant to be.
- Hi. - Hello.
- Are you having an autograph event? - Yes.
- Really? - Take one.
- It's all right. - It's all right.
We're hot lately.
We're shooting Dinging Together in Daegu today.
You need to give them your autograph.
- They're all lined up. - Yes. It's long.
- Good luck. - See you later.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Good luck.
I didn't expect to see them here.
- Where are you going? - What a coincidence.
Since you started, give it to everyone.
Come to the restaurant when you're done.
- They'll take at least two hours. - They're in trouble.
They really left.
Are they our guests?
Why didn't they say they're our guests?
Are they out of their minds or what?
They're driving me crazy.
Hey, you guys.
- You're here for Dining Together. - Yes.
Why did you open the autograph event?
- What were you thinking? - Since we're here...
Actually, there was no one in the plaza.
There was no one here at first.
- There was no one. - Really?
- Then... - It's cold.
Why is it so cold in Daegu?
We can't give your autographs because of the shooting,
but you should at least shake hands.
I'd really love to do it for everyone.
- Shake hands. - I'm sorry.
I have to go to the shooting.
Nice to meet you.
Goodness, hello.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you. Hello.
Hi, Tony.
We had no idea you would line up.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Well, they all came around.
- Yes? - We can't let them go like this.
We'll play your song.
Can you perform just the first verse?
(Gladly)
Think of this as an event.
(Shuts the balloon off)
This is for your fans.
- Music, start. - It's freezing.
What's that?
(This one goes off too.)
(Swinging arms)
(Clap!)
(Our stars are so cool.)
Take the microphone.
Is that the microphone?
(I once had this thought)
(What would I be like as an adult?)
(You'll be like this.)
(Passionate)
This feels so weird.
(Oh, baby)
(Are you watching us, fans?)
(They were idol stars for teenagers 20 years ago.)
(They've returned now in their 40s.)
(We love you, An Seung Ho.)
(A new world wriggles within me)
(I will bring that up)
- Let's go. - Thank you.
- Today's guests... - One second.
for Dining Together in Daegu are members of H.O.T.
(Today's guests are so hot.)
There were many students who left school early...
or didn't come in at all.
They made schools ban students from leaving school early.
(The first-ever no-leave policy created in schools)
Subways have extended...
Subways have extended their operation hours.
Their concert was reported on the prime-time news.
The legendary idol group, H.O.T.
The two sweet guys, Tony An and Kangta...
came out to meet the fans in person.
(Tony and Kangta came to eat a meal with fans in Daegu.)
Why Daegu? What's the connection between H.O.T. and Daegu?
(Why are they at Daegu?)
While we were still releasing albums,
we had a fan club, right?
Fans in Daegu were the most passionate.
- Yes. - It's like Gyeong Gyu.
Whenever he releases a movie,
tickets only get sold out in Daegu.
- Really? - They're very passionate.
Yes, very passionate.
When we were on another variety show,
- the ratings showed... - You were on "Infinite Challenge".
the highest in Daegu area.
It's a passionate city.
You must be thankful for this city, then.
- Yes. - Of course.
(Daegu, passion, gratitude, looking forward to today)
They were on "Saturday Saturday Is for Singers".
Yes, it was on air.
Has it been 17 years?
We performed together after 17 years.
Exactly.
I watched the show myself, and it felt really weird.
I had all of these...
fuzzy feelings too.
I can't explain how I felt when we got up there...
and said, "Hello, we are H.O.T."
The two guys in their 40s are...
now even fixing each other's hair.
They finally...
got together as a group after years have passed.
It became the talk of the town.
They got so touched...
that they could not hold their tears in...
as they wrapped up the concert on that day.
To be honest, I don't remember...
anything from that day.
I have no idea what I did.
- The performance? - Yes.
I was so out of it.
We practiced for a month...
and did the performance.
That month passed by so quickly.
There were some aftereffects when it was over.
- I felt empty. - Yes.
All of you started crying toward the end,
so you couldn't sing.
We were out of it.
We couldn't sing because we were crying.
The whole place was literally filled with tears.
It's because they got older.
(He destroyed the touching moment.)
No way.
I mean, they get softer.
You must cry often too.
The older you get, the more you cry.
I understand.
They're men of position too.
He's a director of SM Entertainment.
Do you know about him?
He's the CEO.
Where at?
At an entertainment company.
- Really? - Yes.
- He's a CEO. - I've been working hard.
(Suddenly showing respect)
When does your contract end?
- An entertainment company? - Yes.
- Goodness, Director Kangta. - He took his hands out.
He's a director, and he's a CEO.
- I feel confident. - Exactly. They're hot right now.
Yes, they are.
- Let's trust them and go. - Let's go.
"Have dinner in Daemyeong-dong, Daegu."
Daemyeong-dong?
Today's town with the director and the CEO.
It's Daemyeong-dong, Nam-gu, Daegu.
Daegu is famous for apples and grilled tripe,
but it was also very passionate...
with their love for H.O.T.
Tony and Kangta came here to meet the fans in person.
What kind of a meal will they find in this city?
Dining Together, episode 74. A Hot Encounter.
Let's say you rang the bell and went into someone's home.
What if they turn out to be a fan who waited around for 17 years?
What if they're someone who once held onto a white balloon?
- They're probably mothers. - They are.
It's possible.
You can talk about the memories.
It would be great.
(Found a fan in a shop)
Say hello to her.
- Hello. - They would love it.
Hello.
They want you to buy clothes.
Oh, the clothes?
They want us to come in.
They'll give us a discount.
It does seem like they are welcoming.
Hello.
I love you, H.O.T.
Were you a member of Club H.O.T.?
I'm a Sechs Kies fan.
(Another fan chanting H.O.T.'s name was unheard of.)
She's a Sechs Kies fan.
But she knows our chant.
I really wonder if we'll make it at once...
or if something else will happen.
I might come off as a little arrogant,
but I'm feeling a bit nervous.
Why?
I have a feeling that we'll go into the first house we find.
We need to think about the air time.
Don't worry about that.
- Really? - Yes.
- One shot... - Really?
- 1 shot, 1 kill. - Hello.
I mean, look at how welcoming they are.
It's rather hot today.
I mean, we're really hot.
They're rather hot. Admitted? Yes, admitted.
The guys are still very popular.
You have to remember this.
Each region has a certain tendency.
People of Daegu is very bold.
Daegu was once called Dalgubeol.
It's the city's old name. Dalgubeol.
Doesn't it sound like something is boiling?
- Dalgubeol. - Come to think about it,
they might come out and say hi passionately,
but not end up giving us food.
Exactly, that's possible.
"Hey, it's H.O.T.!"
Back when we were still working as H.O.T,
fans in Daegu were very bold and passionate.
One day, we were on the move...
in a huge van.
They opened the trunk...
while the car was running to take our stage outfit.
They were very passionate.
It was like a movie.
They were so passionate.
That's really dangerous.
- It is. - It's dangerous.
So we stopped the van right away. But they were that passionate.
They're like that.
Daegu probably had the most passionate fans.
Hey, there's the bus.
They got onto the bus to communicate with people,
looking forward to the fans' passionate response.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm sorry, but we didn't rent this out, right?
- It looks like we did, right? - We didn't.
Hello.
- Are you in high school? - No, college.
- Are you in college? - Yes, I just got in.
Have you seen me on TV?
- Yes. - What's my name?
- Kang Ho Dong. - Can you name...
the members of H.O.T?
- What? - The five members of H.O.T.
- Well... - In five seconds.
- Kangta, Tony An, Moon Hee Jun... - 1, 2, 3.
- Who else? - Four.
I can't remember the other two.
We need to get out there more often.
It's been so long.
Do you know the names of BTS members?
Ready, go.
Seok Jin, Tae Hyung, Ho Seok, Nam Joon,
Ji Min, Jung Kook, and Yoon Gi.
See?
- She knows their real names. - Yes.
And she sounds so friendly.
"Jung Kook."
But she called us Tony and Kangta.
- You're right. - That's not it.
Please do a search for us later.
Sure.
You can find our names online.
You'll find something.
I'm sure she knows.
Do you know the members of H.O.T.?
- She's that generation. - H.O.T.
If I was a bit younger,
- my heart would be racing so fast. - Right.
But I'm in my 40s now.
It doesn't?
- Not really. - Do you feel calm?
- I'm not as excited. - That could happen.
I actually watched "Saturday Saturday Is for Singers".
You were all really touched.
It was really great.
Right? Even we could feel how touching it was as viewers.
I'm sure the fans that were at the concert hall...
probably felt very touched.
When they couldn't sing in the end because they were crying,
- that was the moment. - I cried with them.
It was really touching.
Your fans waited for so long.
Yes.
Our fans waited for us,
but we waited for that too.
So we were bound to feel the same way...
as we were all there at that same moment.
Gyeong Gyu, you should do a recital...
and do all of your old comedy routines too.
- I did it. - Wear your wig.
Wear that wig.
(Anyone can tell that he doesn't want to do it.)
Do you remember seeing him do his "Ask the Stars" routine?
Yes, when I was a kid.
- It was really funny, right? - Yes.
There was "Hidden Camera".
And "Conscientious Refrigerator".
"Conscientious Refrigerator".
You were the most popular guy.
(Eyes widened)
(You're right.)
Eyes widened.
Tony is good at doing TV shows.
He's so nice. He remembered everything.
(Tony is good at flattering others.)
What's famous in Daegu?
The tripe street.
- Yes, and entrails. - Tripe and entrails street.
Do you want to do a battle about things famous in Daegu?
No.
- Apples. - She's definitely going to win.
- Mount Palgong. - Mount Palgong.
Mount Ap.
Duryu Park.
Entrails.
Tripe?
1, 2...
- I actually run a restaurant. - Yes?
Spicy catfish soup.
(She promotes her restaurant.)
- My gosh. - Spicy catfish soup.
She promoted her restaurant.
Are you sure spicy catfish soup is famous in Daegu?
It's just that my restaurant is famous.
(She is so proud of it.)
Like entrails.
They met an old fan who instantly adds spicy catfish soup...
to the list of specialty of Daegu.
After that,
they're about to visit a place you must not miss in Daegu.
(They decided to visit a certain place.)
It was Gyeong Gyu's idea to come here.
- This is Kim Kwang Seok Street. - I see.
(Kim Kwang Seok Memorial Street)
Now, I remember a surprising fact.
I made a debut in 1993,
and I visited Gyeong Gyu's house back then.
Kim Kwang Seok lived downstairs of Gyeong Gyu's house.
He did.
Really?
He lived on the 1st floor, and Gyeong Gyu lived on the 2nd.
We were close.
The legendary singer and the legendary entertainer...
were neighbors.
- Is he from Daegu then? - Yes, he is.
That's why there is Kim Kwang Seok Street is in Daegu.
That's how they came to the street of the great senior singer...
who was Gyeong Gyu's neighbor.
- You asked me which song... - That is it.
- I liked. - Yes.
I like this song, "Please Wait".
("Please Wait" by Kim Kwang Seok)
- "Please Wait". - Could you sing it a little bit?
Until I can understand you
"Kim Kwang Seok Memorial Street"?
"Memorial Street".
It's a street to commemorate him.
- Because people miss him? - Exactly.
(A street to commemorate Kwang Seok who lived a fierce life)
This is a really pretty street.
I'm jealous of him as a junior singer.
As he is a singer who has a street that is full of his own history,
I'm really jealous of him as a singer.
I wish we could have our own street too.
You may.
- We should work harder. - Someday.
Sure.
As time goes on,
you may become legends too.
(Gyeong Gyu is just looking without words.)
As he lived downstairs,
sometimes, I bumped into Kwang Seok...
when I was going home at night.
After you call it a day?
When I was on my way home after working,
I would find Kwang Seok walking drunk.
He said, "Hey, Gyeong Gyu." and I said, "Hi, Kwang Seok."
We used to do that.
- Really? - Sure.
Then I think you must be feeling weird on this street.
I feel emotional to see his picture over there.
They bumped into each other as they were neighbors.
He used to live downstairs,
but he moved. And about 1 to 2 months after he moved,
he passed away.
- 1 to 2 months after he moved? - Yes.
He left after his short yet fierce life,
but his songs filled with his life last up until now,
and still touch his juniors' hearts.
That's a white balloon.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I'm your fan. - The white balloon says it all.
- Do you always carry it? - I just bought it.
- You did? - Really?
Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - It's a heart-shaped balloon.
- I'm your fan. - She tells me to give it to you.
- I thought she was giving it to me. - Thank you.
There are pictures of him everywhere...
on this street.
(There are murals of the late Kim Kwang Seok everywhere.)
It would be a bless to be remembered...
by somebody.
If you sit here and play the guitar,
it would be nice.
Please sing one of Kwang Seok's song.
What was your favorite?
I don't know the whole song, but I'll sing "Turning 30".
- "Turning 30". - "Turning 30".
- Please help me. - You're singing "Turning 30"...
when you're over 40.
(Tony was caught off guard.)
If that song were released nowadays,
- it would be "Turning 40". - Right.
- Its lyrics and the atmosphere... - Because of its sentiment.
Do you think so?
(It is gradually going away)
(Like puffed-out cigarette smoke)
(In my short memory)
(He yields to the main vocalist.)
(What am I trying to fill?)
(Listening carefully)
(The late Kim Kwang Seok who was 30...)
(is portrayed by the junior singers in their 40s now.)
(Gyeong Gyu is emotional at this moment.)
(Touched)
I was not quite sentimental these days,
but while I was listening to Kangta's song...
and looking at the tree without leaves,
it looked like my heart.
Goodness.
These days, I feel a little empty...
- and lonely. - No wonder.
It's because you are in your 40s now.
It happens when you turn 40.
You were idols of teenagers,
but you are in your 40s now.
- I think you became more thankful. - Right.
We were thankful back then too,
- but it was an immediate response. - It was.
But now, I'm thankful...
that they have loved us...
for such a long time.
I can't imagine that.
I wonder if I could love...
someone with all my heart for such a long time.
I'm so thankful as I get to think about it.
In their 40s, they became so thankful...
that the fans didn't forget their best days...
and still love them even after all the years.
(They became so grateful.)
Come to think of it, your family names are both An.
- Really? - Right.
I'm An Chil Hyun and he is An Seung Ho.
- Your real names? - Yes.
Weren't you the first one to have a stage name like that of...
a character in a comic?
I think he was the first one in Korea.
- Back then... - He was, right?
I liked comics.
In Park Bong Seong's comic,
there was a character named Choi Kang Ta.
- That's why I had the name Kangta. - That's why.
At first, he thought of "Anta"...
- because his family name is An. - It sounds like a hit in Korean.
Because his family name is An.
Will it be Jangta if his family name is Jang?
- Kangta sounds the best. - It does.
Where are we?
"Anjirang".
- Anjirang Gobchang Town. - It's famous for its tripe.
They arrive at Anjirang Gobchang Town with Ans.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Why are there so many tripe restaurants here?
There were many slaughterhouses near here, right?
- Yes. They were near here. - Across the street.
- That's why. - So the tripe was sold here.
- I think there was a brook here. - A ditch.
Right. There was a ditch here.
- Right. - There was a ditch here.
- There was, right? - After Typhoon Maemi,
the ditch was covered with this road.
Oh, the road was built over the ditch?
- Yes. - I see.
(It was built after Typhoon Maemi in 2003.)
It is now 1 of the top 5 food streets.
Along the 500m street,
there are 66 tripe restaurants.
To hungry Gyeong Gyu and three others,
it's just a street that tortures them.
Gyeong Gyu, it is being grilled now.
Goodness.
- Is this tripe? - Yes, it is.
- They're draining the fat first. - I see.
So it's not greasy...
- This is driving me crazy. - at all.
So you grill it on charcoals...
and a briquette?
Yes. And I take them inside after grilling it on a briquette.
(She grilles it twice to serve it.)
It's not a busy time right now, but it must be packed with people...
- in the evening. - Yes.
- Good luck with your business. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
- I hope you'll sell a lot. - Thank you.
I shouldn't have seen that.
I'm getting so hungry.
- I'm so hungry too. - I'm really hungry.
I was okay before.
I got so hungry after I saw that.
There is...
a big mountain ahead.
It looks nice.
- It's quite high. - Yes. It looks great.
- Is it Mount Palgong? - I don't know.
Excuse me, what mountain is that?
- Hello. - It's Mount Ap.
Is it Mount Ap?
- Gosh. That is Kang Ho Dong. - That is Mount Ap.
This mountain is located in the southern part of Daegu,
- and most houses face the south. - They do.
Because it is in the south...
We have a voice actress who narrates our show.
She will explain about it.
Right. She will do that.
She will explain it.
"In fact, this is not Mount Ap."
"Ho Dong gives wrong information again today."
(Ho Dong gives wrong information again today.)
This is... really Mount Ap.
Mount Ap is located in the southern part of Daegu,
and the houses in Korea usually face the south,
so it is seen from almost every house,
and it became the symbol of Daemyeong-dong.
(The symbol of Daemyeong-dong)
To get some information about Daemyeong-dong,
Gyeong Gyu goes into a real estate agency.
Hello.
- Hello. - What a surprise.
- May I ask you something? - My goodness.
- We're shooting Dining Together. - Really?
- Yes. - Hello.
Where are we now?
Could you tell us where we are?
We're here now.
- That is Daemyeong-dong. - Here?
Where is the tripe street?
It's over here.
- So we came this way. - Right.
What is Daemyeong-dong like?
There used to be...
The Central Intelligence Agency over here.
Over here?
Yes. So...
there lived many soldiers, police officers, or public officials.
Daemyeong-dong features beautiful Mount Ap like a folding screen.
It has the most number of districts in Daegu.
Until the 80s, it was a popular place where many politicians...
and famous figures in financial world lived.
But now, its fame has moved to Suseong-gu...
where many apartment complexes were built in the 90s.
Now, newly-built multiplex houses...
and old huge mansions coexist there,
and create unique atmosphere.
(Daemyeong-dong has unique atmosphere.)
What's the main age group...
of its residents?
Most of them are over 60 now.
Really?
- Natives. - Yes.
Then they might not know...
- who we are. - Probably.
What's the probability of our success...
in your opinion?
(Sighing instead of answering)
Because most of them are old...
(Worried a lot)
I think it won't be easy.
What if we visited your place...
- unexpectedly? - What if?
- Would you dine with us? - Would you...
It would be difficult.
- It would be? - Because I'm not prepared at all.
It would be embarrassing.
Being on TV would be so embarrassing.
Do you want to try it next week?
(Do you want to try it next week?)
- We already shot quite a lot. - Let's save the part so far...
And shoot the rest later?
Yes. And let's shoot the rest in another town.
All of a sudden?
Okay. Let's get going.
- Thank you for your information. - Thank you.
They got the information about Daemyeong-dong,
but it doesn't seem to be easy to have dinner today.
The four feel quite anxious now.
Because the residents are older than I expected...
But today, I feel somehow...
confident.
- Why? - Even after you heard that?
- There is energy in the universe. - Sure.
I can feel that it is coming to us now.
- The energy of the universe? - Yes.
Since I received an award last year,
and H.O.T. got reunited this year,
I can feel the energy coming...
- toward me. - Good.
I think we'll succeed on the first attempt.
- 1 shot, 1 kill? - Yes.
- Do you think so? All right. - Yes.
With the energy of the universe,
can you imagine what you are going to eat today?
I will gather the energy of the universe and guess.
I think I can smell the sea.
- But we're in Daegu. - In Daegu?
Can you smell the sea here?
Well... I can...
- It's surrounded by mountains. - Why suddenly?
But I'm talking about the food they'll serve at home.
They may have seafood at home.
- Honestly, I crave tripe now. - Me too.
- It's hard to serve tripe at home. - It is.
- What about you, Kangta? - What about you?
I want to have a simple and heartwarming home-cooked meal...
- with kimchi stew... - Heartwarming...
and side dishes.
Imagining happy dinner,
they enter today's battlefield.
It'll be okay.
- Look at that house. - That's cool.
(Amazed)
- Isn't it a restaurant? - With Mount Ap...
in front of the house.
The wall consists of stones.
This is wonderful.
This is cool.
(What is this place?)
What is this place?
Look at the trees.
(A pretty cafe is in the middle of the residential area.)
The trees are pretty.
Usually, there is no pagoda in a cafe.
There is a pagoda.
The atmosphere is good.
It's an ordinary residential area,
but there are cafes right across the street. It's amazing.
I think more and more cafes are opening...
- Gradually. - in this area.
(Apsan Cafe Street)
Apsan Cafe Street is a new famous place in Daemyeong-dong.
Recently, some old mansions are...
remodeled into cafes here,
and it became a trendy place in Daegu.
(It became a trendy place in Daegu.)
You should try the multiplex houses like them.
Those in their 30s and 40s live there.
They are studios.
- They're not the elderly. - Right. We should try them.
Try the houses that suit you.
- College students... - Something like this...
- and that? - Exactly.
Some of the multiplex houses are new and some are old.
There are many big houses.
- Let's divide into teams. - How do would you like it?
Come here, Tony.
- My throat hurts today. - Tony is a CEO.
so I should rely on Tony.
- Okay. - Okay?
- Do you feel pressured? - Sorry?
No, I'm not pressured,
but I think I might fail to get the energy of the universe.
(No way.)
- He is the CEO of an agency. - He is.
Think of Gyeong Gyu as your actor and give him a chance.
- Let's do it together. - Okay.
When do you want to sign the contract?
(Skipping the answer)
Let's go.
- Here is a drama without scripts... - Let's go.
in Daemyeong-dong with H.O.T.
- Dining Together. - Dining Together.
The time has come...
to try to have dinner in Daegu.
(They start to ring the bells at 6pm.)
We're about to ring the bells for Dining Together now,
but it is starting to rain.
- It is raining. - I know.
- The sky was clear a while ago. - It was.
I think the rain is greeting us.
It usually gets dark in about 30 minutes,
- but it's getting dark already. - Yes.
Let's go up first.
- Okay. - And it's still cold.
Let's check the energy of the universe first.
- The energy of the universe. - In the first try.
- In 1 go. - On the 1st attempt.
- Try this house. - On the first attempt.
Then we'll get impatient.
Gyeong Gyu picks a house right away.
You know what to say, don't you?
- Yes. I should say hello first. - Right.
Introduce yourself in detail.
Tell them that you're the foreigner of H.O.T.
(Go, foreigner.)
- Let's try it. - Well...
(Hesitant)
- The yard is big. - Why is this so nerve-racking?
- It must be. - It's not a big deal, but...
You said you received some energy from the sky.
Maybe I made a fuss and talked too much about it.
You did.
- Did you talk about it too much? - Maybe.
(He presses the bell gathering the energy of the universe.)
Okay.
The bell is not broken.
(His heart is racing.)
No one answers.
- It's a failure if no one answers? - Yes.
- 1 shot, 1 kill... - Let me try 1 more time.
(Looking so nervous)
(It looks like he will fail on the first attempt.)
- Because... - Oh, hello.
- He said hello. - Hi.
Hello.
- Speak. - Okay. I'm just wondering...
Hello. I'm Tony An of H.O.T.
Okay.
Well, I'm just wondering...
- "I'm just wondering..." - We're shooting Dining Together.
He keeps saying that.
I know he is really wondering.
I've watched Ho Dong host the show,
but my family members are sick, so...
I see. I'm sorry.
- She offers us a cup of tea. - I watch Dinging Together often.
I'm sorry,
but do you know H.O.T too?
I don't know about that.
Okay. I'm sorry.
All right. I'm sorry.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I think only the elderly live here.
- Tony. - Yes?
I'd like you to stop saying, "I'm just wondering..."
- "I'm just wondering..." - You said that...
about four times.
Why do you keep saying that?
Stop saying, "I'm just wondering..."
- Okay? - I thought I'd feel comfortable...
You may feel comfortable.
but suddenly, I felt nervous in front of the house.
- You kept saying, - "I'm just wondering..."
"I'm just wondering..."
- Kang Ho Dong. - Hello.
- Kangta. - Gosh.
- There are many people. - Right.
Where did they all come from?
- Tony. - Hi.
The energy of the universe brought the fans and the rain.
I think we need umbrellas.
It also brought the anxiousness of the four.
We need the umbrellas.
(Nervous and anxious)
Thank you.
Ma'am.
Wait. Isn't this opportunism?
- Hello. - Excuse me,
but are you on your way out?
No, I just got out because I heard something.
You did?
Now that it is spring,
he came all the way from Seoul.
Hello, I'm Kangta of H.O.T. Do you know who I am?
I watched him on "Saturday Saturday Is for Singers" a moment ago.
Did you watch "Saturday Saturday Is for Singers"?
- H.O.T? - Yes.
So you just watched it?
- Yes. - You watched them singing...
and crying on stage?
Please listen to him carefully now.
Have you eaten dinner yet?
- No. - No, you haven't?
If you may feel okay,
could you let us in and have dinner...
- together? - I didn't prepare for dinner yet.
When are you going to prepare for dinner then?
- We can wait. - I don't have a plan to do it.
- You don't? - Are you not having dinner today?
- She doesn't have a plan for it. - Goodness.
She doesn't have a plan to have dinner tonight?
Who lives with you in your house?
My husband.
Because he didn't come home yet,
you don't have any plans to prepare for dinner,
- right? - That's right.
What did you think when you watched H.O.T on TV?
I thought of the old times,
and I cried together.
While you were watching it?
What is your favorite among our songs?
- "Candy". - "Candy"?
1, 2, 3, 4.
I said that I just love you
Why are you singing my part?
Don't you like "Light, Hope"?
- Yes, I do. - Thank you.
Because we were always together
We can wait until we have dinner. Would it be possible...
Excuse me, but are you a member of Club H.O.T?
(I cried together.)
(We met after 17 years.)
(I've always missed you.)
I am a g.o.d's fan.
Oh, g.o.d?
(She seems to have waved blue balloons a lot.)
She is a g.o.d's fan.
If g.o.d. were here, she might let them in.
Then I'd start to cook right away.
She'd start to cook right away. I'm too sad.
- If it were g.o.d. - She'd cook right away.
- I see. - All right.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for talking with us.
(Goodbye)
Oh, my gosh.
Because of their unexpected rival,
they have to retreat in vain.
- I thought they'd succeed. - In Daegu,
I think there are more g.o.d's fans than H.O.T's fans.
Let's try multiplex houses.
- Multiplex houses? - Yes.
- Let's go, Kangta. - Okay.
Wait.
Let's take turns.
Each team will take turns.
- Kangta will start it first. - Okay.
Shall I stand beside you?
- Do you want to? - Press the doorbell.
Pres the doorbell first. There you go.
I'll be smiling broadly.
Mi re mi re mi si re do ra
You have perfect pitch.
(Ho Dong has perfect pitch.)
There is no one.
- Then you try it, Tony. - Okay.
I'll press the same number as my house.
(He presses the same number as his house.)
(But...)
(no one answers.)
- Every house is empty. - The lights are turned off.
(The doorbells just keep ringing.)
I think no one is home here either.
"Fur Elise" keeps ringing.
It doesn't look like it'll stop.
(The doorbell won't stop.)
- 37... Unit 123. - Try Unit 123.
Try Unit 123.
No, no. There are four units in total.
- Oh, really? - Unit 305.
Didn't you already try it?
Why am I still holding this umbrella?
(He's so out of it.)
- I think they went out together. - They went somewhere together.
- Let's go. - That's possible.
(Both team's attempts failed here.)
We really need to find dinner mates soon.
Maybe everyone is at a workshop.
Otherwise, this situation just doesn't make sense.
What about this building?
(They'll try the next building!)
It might be different here.
There are many cars in the parking lot.
- Aren't I right? - Yes, you're right.
- There are many cars here. - Yes, it's a good sign. Let's...
(Kangta presses the doorbell with all of his heart.)
(He's very nervous.)
Hello, who's this?
- Hello. - Yes.
I'm Kangta, the lead vocalist of H.O.T.
- Is it connected? - I'm... Wait, I'm...
(His eyes are quivering.)
He hung up.
I'm sure he could see me through the camera here.
He must hate me.
- It could've looked like a prank... - I think he totally hates me.
He could've thought that we were pulling a prank.
- It might've thrown him off. - Which unit was it?
(It's Tony's turn now.)
Yes, the one on the left.
He might come down.
(It looks like Tony has aged.)
Don't stand too close.
Do something.
- Pardon? - No one's answering.
Didn't you say that the universe is helping you?
(He gathers the energy of the universe.)
(Speechless)
I don't hear anything.
- Then how about 200... - I can look so cheerful right now.
Try Unit 202.
- Give it a shot. - We'll try the second floor.
(Looking tired)
(Kangta is nervous.)
- Who is this? - Hello?
I'm Kangta, the lead vocalist of H.O.T.
I see.
I'm sorry, but we can't let you in because of a baby.
- Oh, a baby? - I see.
Wait... Gosh.
(He got hung up on again.)
I think you make a scary face.
No, I totally don't. I had a big smile on my face.
Why does it keep happening to Kangta?
Only Kangta has been...
I guess people in Daegu don't like me.
- Try 502. - Your feelings must be hurt.
- 502. Great. - My feelings are so hurt.
We're not doing well so far.
Gosh, Kangta...
(It's the unlucky guy Tony's turn.)
(This 41-year-old puts on his cute face, hoping to succeed.)
(There's no answer.)
There's no answer every time I try.
Tony gets no answer, while Kangta gets hung up on.
It's better that no one answers...
than getting hung up on.
Since arriving in Daegu,
the only thing you've said is "I'm just wondering...".
(Tony is sad.)
What's the matter with you?
I really want to say that again.
Do something, then.
- I failed again. - My goodness.
- Gosh. - Hey, come here. Let's do this.
- We've already tried these units. - Okay.
(He tries again to regain his pride.)
(Calling the unit)
Good. It's going smoothly so far.
Daegu is harder than I expected.
Did we try Unit 303?
(He puts a smile on his face.)
I have to sound as friendly as possible.
- Hello? - Oh, someone answered.
Hello, I'm Kangta, the lead vocalist of H.O.T.
Pardon?
I'm Kangta, the lead vocalist of H.O.T.
Can't you see me on the screen now?
No, our intercom doesn't have a screen.
- Oh, it doesn't have a screen. - Really?
- You know H.O.T, right? - Yes, I do.
By any chance, do you know the song "Light, Hope"?
Yes, of course.
(I didn't know how precious you were because we were always together)
May I ask who your favorite member is?
- Kangta. - My gosh!
(Kangta is my favorite member.)
I'm Kangta.
- I see. - Have you had dinner yet?
No, we were just about to eat.
- My gosh! - You were just about to? I see.
- By any chance... - Ma'am, who do you live with?
I live with my husband and my dog.
- I see! - She has a dog.
I was born in the Year of the Dog.
And I was on the show, "A Man Who Feeds the Dog".
Is this really happening?
Yes, it's real.
- You don't have a screen. - No, we don't.
Isn't this the show about eating dinner together?
Yes, it's that show.
We're shooting Dining Together at the moment.
Honey, what should we do? Kangta is here.
Hello?
- Yes, hello. - Hello.
- I'm Kangta, H.O.T's lead vocalist. - Yes.
If you haven't eaten yet,
would we be able to join you for dinner?
- Sir. - Yes.
We're just wondering...
The word, "family", refers to people who eat together, you know.
Would you invite Kangta and me in and become our family today?
(Will Kangta and Ho Dong...)
(succeed this time and find their family?)
Would you invite Kangta and me in and become our family today?
(Will Kangta and Ho Dong succeed this time?)
(Please...)
Yes, sure.
(He gladly said yes!)
The only thing is, my wife is pregnant now,
so she needs a few minutes to get changed.
- Yes, no problem. - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
My gosh.
(Discouraged)
- What a miracle. - I'm so happy.
Tell him that you guys can wait.
- Right. We'll wait here, then. - We'll wait.
We'll press the doorbell again in five minutes.
(Kangta and Ho Dong succeeded!)
Hey, congratulations. Congratulations.
See? The lucky energy came to us.
- Why is the universe helping you? - It came to us.
- That's so odd. - Try a different house right away.
What is this mess?
(Dizzy)
We'll get going, then.
Yes, you should try another place to succeed.
Come on, let's go.
I must say, this doesn't feel so good.
- Cheer up. - Go in. We'll get going.
Thanks, Tony!
- Thank you, Ho Dong. - Take care.
- See you next week, Gyeong Gyu. - Bye!
I don't want to leave.
- Let's go. - My gosh.
Oh, hello.
(The husband came down to greet them.)
Thank you so much.
How is this possible?
- Let's go up. - Hang on.
I hope you're not offended by this, but you remind me of my friend,
Ji Sang Ryeol.
Doesn't he have such a kind face?
- I was so surprised too. - A super kind version of him.
- Thank you. - Have you heard that before?
Sang Ryeol also likes dogs.
People have told me that I look like Chang Ki Ha.
Oh, Chang Ki Ha.
(I see.)
I should've told him that he looks like Chang Ki Ha.
- Anyway, let's go. - Okay.
- Hello. - My gosh!
Is this for real?
Congratulations.
- Thank you. - We heard you're due next month.
- Hello. - Yes, congratulations.
- Hello. - My gosh, it's Kangta!
But I must say,
you're very slim.
Oh, really? It's probably because I walked around all day.
- My face is... - He's lost some weight.
You do look slimmer compared to this morning.
You look thin.
- We'll go in. - Yes, come on in.
They enter the warm, happy home of the young couple...
and their soon-to-be-born baby...
in Daemyeong-dong at dinnertime.
(Wake up earlier, work harder, do better, and make more effort!)
- What's all this? - Oh, my.
I just...
- This is... My gosh. - I just wanted to...
The table is already set perfectly.
- The table is already set. - This is the first time ever.
Yes, have a seat here.
You look so much like Chang Ki Ha.
Did he bring it up himself?
No. Earlier, I told him that I think he looks like Ji Sang Ryeol.
(She cracks up.)
- He said I looked like Sang Ryeol. - Don't you see the resemblance?
There's a bit of Ji Sang Ryeol in him.
No, he resembles Lee Moon Sik more.
He looks like so many celebrities.
Then what's it called? What's your baby's fetus nickname?
Jeong Geum. It's Jeong Geum.
- Jang Geum? - No, Jeong Geum.
- Jeong Geum. - It means "pure gold". We want...
our baby to grow like pure gold.
- As precious as pure gold. - Exactly.
It looks like your dog has a problem with his leg.
(Kippeum, male, 5 years old)
He was hit by a car when he was out for a walk.
- Oh, no. - That's why he's missing a leg.
Jeong Geum's mom, come and join us.
My gosh, you have such a kind face.
I didn't wash my face today.
I usually wash my face every day,
but you came on the one day that I didn't wash my face.
Right now, it's...
- I'm sweating... - cold outside because of the rain.
It's the last cold snap before spring,
but you're sweating a lot because you're nervous.
I'm really nervous now too.
What do you find most fascinating?
Seeing celebrities.
- Seeing celebrities? - I've never seen any celebrities...
Actually, I went to the airport when I was in elementary school...
- and saw Two Two. - Two Two?
Yes, I saw them from the back,
but I've never seen any celebrities since then.
- We're the first ones after that? - Yes.
My husband is a fan of yours, Kangta.
- Oh, really? - I used to like Tony...
- when I was young. - At least one of you is my fan.
Was it last week? We watched...
- the show you were on. - Yes, we watched it.
He rooted for Kangta, and I rooted for Tony.
You two are in that generation.
- Exactly. - Yes.
I still can't believe this.
Actually, we came with Tony.
- I see. Why didn't he come in? - Where is Tony now?
- He has to find a different house. - We're in different teams.
- I see, that's how it works. - Out of all five members...
- We made our debut in 1996. - Right.
How old were you guys back then?
I was in eighth grade.
I was in sixth grade.
I bought those mittens.
- I was born in 1982. - You were born in 1982.
- I was born in 1985. - I see, 1985.
You were born in the Year of the Dog too.
- Yes. - I was born in 1970.
Jeong Geum will be born in the Year of the Dog too.
Right, this year is the Year of the Dog.
So the three of us... Jeong Geum.
All three of us are dogs.
- We're all dogs. - Three dogs.
How long have you been married?
- We... - You two must be so happy.
- It's been six years. - I see.
You must be over the moon.
- Conceiving this baby wasn't easy. - Exactly.
It took you six years to conceive the baby.
Yes, we struggled. I got pregnant through in-vitro fertilization.
- How did it feel to find out? - You must've been over the moon.
I told my husband not to come in because I didn't expect good news,
but the doctor said that I'm pregnant,
so I started bawling.
I had told my husband not to come in, but he was already there.
- He was already crying. - My gosh.
- So we cried together. - We cried tears of joy.
It looks like you also get teared up now.
- We cried together... - I'm just nervous now.
I see, so it wasn't because of your baby.
We cried so much together.
We couldn't even take the elevator.
We kept crying as we were walking down the stairs.
It's like a scene from a drama.
You probably can't really relate to it.
- I can't imagine what it'd be like. - You don't have the experience.
It's conjuring up my old memories. I've been through it too.
- It took us two years. - His nickname was Doo San, right?
- That's right, Doo San. - Yes, Kang Doo San.
(Si Hoo's dad is moved.)
It was only for two years,
but we wanted our baby so desperately...
- that we cried a lot too. - I see.
By the way, you're so handsome.
- Me? - Yes. How should I put this?
- Why did you just do that? - Why don't you look like this...
on TV?
- Oh, I don't look like this? - You look better in real life.
- I see. - You look like Won Bin.
What does he look like on TV?
He doesn't look this thin on TV.
I've been trying to get back into shape.
You're so slim, and you have such a handsome face.
You're dazzlingly handsome.
He lost weight for his comeback.
I've never seen such a handsome person in my life,
whereas I've seen many people like you.
(A common face even in Daegu)
I've never seen a face like this in Daegu.
Is it okay to say that in front of your husband?
- Yes, it's fine. I understand. - My husband...
has a handsome profile. That's why...
I always look at him from the side.
- Only from the side? - Yes, I look at him like that.
Before the food gets cold, the five of us should...
- It's not 4. - There are 5 of us.
Yes, including Jeong Geum.
Let's eat together.
- Sure. - Let's get ready, then.
Where's Jeong Geum sitting?
- Ma'am. - Water parsley.
You must love water parsley.
- Yes, I do. - This is for water parsley wraps.
This is water parsley too.
- Is it water parsley? - Yes, it's in this pancake too.
50 percent of the side dishes has water parsley.
- Yes, I've been craving it. - What is this?
She just has to add...
warm bowls of rice and spicy kimchi stew...
for the new family members...
to complete the meal preparation.
Didn't you say earlier that you want to eat kimchi stew?
- Yes, I did. - You did, right?
(When he was asked what he wants to eat,)
(he said an ordinary home-cooked meal with kimchi stew.)
- She made kimchi stew. See? - My gosh!
- Oh, my. This is... - What a coincidence.
I can take them to the table. Thank you.
- Today, this is... - It looks delicious.
- Yes. - If Saeng Min came today,
he'd go through and analyze all of their expenses on this.
- I know, right? - Yes, their household ledger.
Oh, really?
All right, this is our dinner in Daemyeong-dong, Daegu.
We'll take a photo of it so that we can remember it forever.
This is our delicious, happy dinner in Daemyeong-dong.
This meal was made by a young couple...
in Daemyeong-dong, Daegu, who used to be H.O.T's fans.
From water parsley pancake to seasoned water parsley,
this dinner shows how delicious water parsley can be.
This green-filled meal will help us usher in spring.
Ready, action.
- Honey, let's eat. - Okay.
(She's shy.)
Thanks for the food.
I was so stressed out...
because of Kippeum today, honey.
He did something he had never done before.
He pooped in the room, but I had no idea,
so I stepped on it with my bare foot.
It was my first time stepping on dog poop.
Now, you've stepped on dog poop.
I almost wanted to kill him.
Physically, I'm really exhausted these days,
so I cleaned up the mess in tears.
My gosh, you had a long day, Sun Young.
That dog totally stressed me out today.
By the way, about Jin Gyu's apple juice...
He has to make a new batch. He has nothing left now.
We can't afford to keep ordering things like that.
You keep ordering things like apple juice.
Yesterday, the setoka you ordered came. I told you not to order it.
You spent 70 to 80 dollars on it.
But you eat everything I order.
And I clearly told you to write down every time you use the credit card.
(He just eats quietly.)
I have to figure out our monthly expenses,
but I can't tally up everything accurately...
because of your credit card transactions.
- Cut. - Great.
- You stepped on dog poop today? - Dog poop?
Yes, with my bare foot.
When he heard that, he just said, "Now, you've stepped on dog poop."
Our dog developed PTSD...
because of the car accident.
I guess hearing any startling noise...
- makes him relive the experience. - Right.
Whenever that happens, he goes to the bathroom...
and poops while trembling like this.
When I'm standing up, I can't really see the floor because of my belly.
I just took a step without thinking anything...
and realized that our dog had pooped there.
- That's why... - People say...
that stepping on dog poop brings good luck.
(Oh, right.)
Don't you think this happened because...
- you stepped on dog poop? - He does have a point.
- We're Christian. - I see, you don't believe it.
- Actually, late last night, - Pardon my mouth.
- I had a dream. - Yes.
In the dream, streams of urine kept splashing onto me.
- We're going to eat very soon. - Right, I'm sorry.
- We have to eat soon. - I'm so embarrassed.
- Streams of urine and dog poop. - You talked about poop right away.
I've never heard of anyone having such a dream.
- Ma'am, you sure can talk. - Totally.
But I feel as if I'm dreaming right now.
Wow, people from Seoul are at our place. Aren't I right?
Our crew members are from Seoul too. Many people from Seoul are here.
This is really happening, right? Oh, my.
You're alive. This is really happening.
I don't think I can touch Kangta.
- You can. It's okay. - What about me, then?
He literally dazzles.
(Kangta is dazzling.)
- I liked that word. - You have a shining aura.
- My gosh. - Does he have an aura?
Yes, he does. He's incredibly handsome.
- I'm Kangta's fan now. - Are you done talking about poop?
- Thank you for this meal. - Thank you for the food!
- Thank you for the food. - I hope you enjoy it.
- Enjoy. - My gosh, first...
- I usually eat a lot of this. - I see.
I'll try this. Oh, my goodness.
I should wrap a piece of pancake around some rice like this.
After warming up with the water parsley pancake wrap, Ho Dong...
inhales the fragrant seasoned water parsley and fresh raw water parsley.
Enjoying water parsley in three ways...
helps him get in the mood for spring.
Kangta, who became happy...
just at the thought of kimchi stew earlier,
finally met kimchi stew and is inhaling it at the speed of light,
hoping to become the next biggest eating show star.
You actually don't eat that much.
Jeong Geum's mom and dad are also...
enjoying this special meal with the celebrities at their place.
I stepped on dog poop and saw urine in my dream today.
Is the superstition really true?
I guess this is the result of the dog poop.
- Oh, the dog poop... - I beg your pardon?
- I'm... - That sounds a little strange.
I was born in the Year of the Dog, so you're the poop.
I'm the dog.
I'm the poop.
- Together, we're Dog Poop. - We're Dog Poop.
(We're Dog Poop.)
Can you lose a bit of weight so that we can form a team?
Dong Ta.
- The second syllables of our names. - I'm sorry.
By the way, what was that about?
Why did you forget to jot down your credit card purchases?
- We keep a household ledger. - I see.
Whenever we use our credit cards,
we write down all the purchases every day...
and have a meeting once a week to talk about all the expenses.
We try not to go over 800 dollars a month...
for all of our living expenses.
We can't afford to over that amount,
so I keep lecturing him.
But he still forgets to write down his credit card purchases.
- He doesn't write them down. - That's right.
That's why I lost it on him yesterday.
Did she yell at you yesterday?
And you got yelled at again during Dinner Theater?
- Yes. - I guess you had no excuse.
Do you get yelled at often?
- No... - I guess so.
I don't really yell at you.
She's in her ninth month, right?
Are we tiring you out?
- I'm worried. - Me too.
No, I'm fine. I rested at home all day.
I see.
- I only walked a little... - The baby has been kicking a lot,
so she's been quite exhausted.
I actually want to ask you something, Ho Dong.
- When your son was born, - Yes.
how did you feel?
- The moment you first saw your son. - In my case,
I unfortunately had to go...
- to Gwangyang for a show. - Gwangyang?
It was around this time in March.
I left home very early in the morning...
and got a call from my wife as I was about to leave for Gwangyang,
- saying the contractions began. - She started having contractions.
We weren't expecting it to happen that day.
I heard about my son's birth when I was in Gwangyang,
so I couldn't be there for my wife.
I went to see her the next day.
- The next day? - Yes.
- As soon as the shoot ended. - How did you feel when you saw him?
I really want to know what it feels like.
There was a tiny version of me.
- Did he look like you as a newborn? - He totally looked like me.
With his slanted eyes like mine.
You can see Jeong Geum's face in the most recent ultrasound.
You can see the profile.
The face happened to be captured in the ultrasound photo that day.
- The eyes. - The eyes, nose, and mouth.
It shows the facial features so clearly. How fascinating.
- Isn't it fascinating? - It's really fascinating.
The youngest dinner mate on the show. Jeong Geum, age minus one.
(The youngest dinner mate on the show)
"Jeong Geum, age minus one". We'll embed the text on the photo.
His life will begin when he's born, you know.
By the way, can I ask you something?
I watched the episode of the show with Kim Soo Mi.
Is her marinated crab really good?
It's really delicious.
She used to sell it on home shopping channels,
but I think she stopped selling it.
You seemed to be really enjoying it.
I don't know why she stopped selling it,
but it's really good. Oh, my.
How can you have such great skin?
Are you wearing makeup now?
No, not at all. My secret is...
making sure to eat a lot of late night snacks.
That's what I do to keep my skin this plump.
(Her curiosity has been satisfied.)
I keep my face puffy all the time.
While Jeong Geum is bombarding Ho Dong and Kangta with questions,
Tony, whom she really likes,
is still wandering the streets in the rain.
- This isn't easy. - We'll find a family soon.
Don't worry about a thing.
We'll succeed soon.
It's good to show the viewers that we struggled a little.
- You're a pro. - I know, right?
(This time, they'll try the unit Gyeong Gyu picked.)
Good. Let's go in this time.
(Rushing)
Don't worry. We'll get invited in soon.
(But...)
(His eyes are quivering.)
We don't need to rush.
(There's no answer.)
(He can't raise his head back up.)
Two?
(He keeps pressing the doorbell,)
(but there's no answer.)
It'll happen.
How can you only pick the units where no one is home?
It's pretty amazing.
I'm really sorry to say this,
but I'd appreciate it if you could just keep quiet.
What did you say? What did I do?
How can you only pick the units where no one's home?
(Every unit he's picked failed.)
- Do something. - Okay.
- Then... - Try every unit from the top floor.
I'll try this one.
You're... My goodness.
Gosh, you're too much.
Hey, I chose you because you kept saying the universe is on your side.
The good energy left because of you.
- Hello? - Hey!
Hello.
- Yes. - Talk about H.O.T.
Hello, I'm Tony An, a member of H.O.T.
- Yes, hello. - Hello.
You know who I am, right?
Yes, I do.
- It's nice to meet you. - Likewise.
Tell her you came all the way from Seoul.
I'm sorry to bother you, but I came all the way from Seoul today,
- I see. - and I haven't even eaten yet.
- It's raining so hard now too. - That's it.
Good, you're doing very well.
It's raining, and we have nowhere to go.
It's pretty bad. We're cold and hungry.
Have you eaten yet by any chance?
No, not yet.
- You haven't had dinner yet? - No.
Are you with your family members now?
No, it's just me and my baby.
- I see. - Where's your husband?
- He's still at work. - Oh, I see.
- All right. - You know about our show, right?
Yes. It's nice to meet you, Gyeong Gyu.
It's nice to meet you too.
- Have a good dinner. - Take care.
Then...
I bet there will be no answer.
What's with you?
(Tony, you little...)
See? I told you.
Shouldn't you have better instincts after two years on the show?
Listen, I think...
(He keeps picking units that don't answer.)
I think we're cursed.
- Sorry, I was just kidding. - How can you say such a thing?
- Oh, boy. - Let's go.
It looks like Gyeong Gyu banished the good energy from the universe.
But the rain, which even Gyeong Gyu couldn't banish, is getting harder.
It keeps raining.
- What's going on? - Hi, there.
- Hello! - My gosh!
Hello.
(Hello)
It's been so long since I heard screams like that.
I think it's the 1st time in 17 years.
A reaction like this...
- The lights are on. - Okay.
(They walk to the house with lights on.)
I'll demonstrate. Goodness.
- I'll show you, okay? - All right.
I'm afraid they might ignore us even if they're home.
(Glaring)
(Scared)
Hello?
(Will he get to clear his name?)
Excuse me...
(He presses the doorbell again.)
Please answer.
The lights are on though.
The question is if they're home and if they've eaten.
It's not about whether we get invited in or not.
But how can you only pick...
- places that no one is home? - That's not true.
In a few minutes, you'll see doors opening...
like the Red Sea opening up.
We'll be eating with our spoons before you even know it.
Keep thinking that image in your head.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi, hi. - Hi, kids.
Gyeong Gyu...
knows that it's about time he should show Tony something.
Oh, this house.
(They press the doorbell at 7pm.)
(The bell is ringing.)
(Tony is worried about his hair looking flat.)
(Please let there be an answer this time.)
Who is it?
- Hello? - Who is it?
- Hello, we're from Seoul. - Oh, I see.
- Hello, I'm Lee Gyeong Gyu. - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Tony An.
Hello, I'm your fan.
- Thank you. - Hello! Thank you so much.
You know about our show, right?
- Yes, I do. - I see, great.
It's chilly outside because it's been raining all evening.
Have you had dinner yet, sir?
No, not yet.
My gosh, what should we do?
I should congratulate you.
On what?
Sir, you've won a chance to have dinner with us.
Sure, come in.
(Did he really say what we think we just heard?)
- My gosh! - Would you have dinner with us?
- Yes. - Oh, my!
- Congratulations! - Thank you!
Go, Daegu!
Go, Daemyeong-dong!
- Go, Daegu! - My gosh.
Thank you all!
Is this turning into a fan meeting or what?
We should celebrate because we succeeded.
- My gosh. - Thank you. We'll go in, then.
- Come here. Let's go in. - This is amazing.
Hello, sir!
- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.
- Is this the Korean Jindo? - Yes, and the Pungsan dog.
- This is the Pungsan dog, right? - Yes, it is.
- This one is the Pungsan dog. - Amazing.
- And this one is the Korean Jindo. - Yes.
My, this Pungsan dog is...
- It's so cute. - This is the Pungsan dog.
- Really? - The breed comes from Pungsan.
(Petting the dog)
- It's from Pungsan, right? - Yes.
- The Pungsan dog. - It's so adorable.
It's so excited now.
It looks like you let the dogs run freely here.
Yes, we don't keep them on a leash.
- My, they must love it. - They must be so happy.
Bye for now.
All right, bye for now.
(Camera, you stay outside too.)
Thank you.
- You guys need to come in. - Thank you.
- It's raining so hard. - Come in.
It's raining so much.
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
- My gosh, it's nice to meet you. - Hello.
It's very nice to meet you. I'm Lee Gyeong Gyu.
Thank you for letting us in.
They've entered a mansion filled with antique furniture pieces,
where their new family gives them a warm welcome.
(They've entered a warm home in Daegu.)
- I've seen you on TV. - He must be your son.
Yes, he is.
- He's your son. - That's right.
- You're his mom. - Yes.
I see.
Then who else lives here?
It's just the two of us. My husband passed away.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
Look at that. Did you...
- serve in the Marine Corps? - Yes, I did.
(He looks so strong and manly.)
Which class?
Class 1042.
I knew it.
I could tell as soon as he came out.
Both his voice and the way he talks sound so masculine too.
- You should go upstairs. - Okay.
May we have a look around upstairs?
Yes, by all means.
(They look around the house while she cooks.)
(When you go up the staircase...)
(at the corner of the living room...)
(Marveling)
(This is amazing!)
This is really...
- It's incredible. - My gosh.
What did I tell you earlier?
- You said the Red Sea will open up, - Yes, the Red Sea would open up.
- and it'll banish our worries. - Exactly.
Oh, my. This house is really...
- This is... - This is my dream house.
But I must say...
- Let's sit down. - Okay.
Don't you think it looks so different from the main floor?
It's almost like they're two separate houses.
This floor looks like a hotel room.
Seriously.
- The main floor is... - Do you use this floor?
- Yes, this is my space. - I see. Then your mother...
- She uses the main floor. - That's her space.
May I ask you what you do for a living?
- I have my own business. - Oh, really?
It's a game arcade.
- You have to pay by the hour. - I see, you run a game arcade.
You can pay for the hour in advance and play all the games there.
Did you watch that show a little while ago?
H.O.T's reunion.
- Yes, I watched it. - When the show aired?
It was touching.
I was a fan too.
I did your dance...
- at my school's talent shows. - Seriously?
- Can you still do it? - No, I can't.
Meanwhile, we hear the mom chopping away on her cutting board...
on the main floor, which she mainly uses.
We can tell that she's begun preparing for dinner.
(She adds nutritious multi-grains into the rice.)
Following the nutritious multi-grain rice,
the first dish we see is...
a huge octopus, which will make Tony happy as he's been craving seafood.
(A giant octopus from the ocean)
The mother slices the firm, chewy octopus.
Ma'am.
The upstairs is very neat and nice.
(They finished their tour.)
- Have a seat. - Sure.
- Make yourselves at home. - What is this?
Is there anything Tony can help you with?
I'm very good at housework.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
- Tony can help you. - Tony...
- Then please slice the tofu for me. - Yes, do that.
Sure, that's no problem at all.
One more time?
Yes. Thank you.
You're good.
- I like going fishing too. - Oh, is that right?
I wanted to go to Jeju Island but gave up due to the cold weather.
- I'm going next week. - To go fishing at night?
- Yes. - I see.
What do you like to do?
I like to fish with lures.
- Lures? - Yes.
What do you catch these days? Yellowtail?
Things like yellowtail, yellowtail amberjack, and red snapper.
- You catch fish with lures. - Yes.
I should brag a little.
I'll show you the eel I caught.
- You caught an eel? - Yes.
It was this big.
Did you catch this in Korea?
- No, in New Zealand. - I see.
- I'll show you too. - Let's see.
(They're in their own world.)
- This is Japanese Spanish mackerel. - You caught a huge one.
It's so big.
- It's big. - Yes.
This is halibut.
- Oh, halibut. - Yes.
This one should be about 70cm.
- This is bigfin reef squid. - Oh, I've caught it too.
- I... - I caught it right away.
My gosh, look at this. This one looks amazing.
Slices of this make any instant noodles taste incredible.
I'll show you the instant noodles...
While the fishing aficionados' boasting battle continues...
(These 2 focus on preparing the food.)
Please give me something to do, ma'am.
(Tony plates the spring onion kimchi,)
(which the mother sliced.)
(Peeking)
(Ma'am, please let me do it.)
(He takes over.)
(He carefully seasons the veggies.)
(I'm Dae Jang Geum of Daegu.)
Could you please taste this for me?
- It's good. - Nice, I'm glad to hear that.
(I'll have a taste too.)
(This is it.)
(When the lady puts the pork belly on the pan,)
(Tony takes over.)
(He's very serious.)
(He smells it.)
(Tony seems to have the ability to taste food with his nose.)
(It's perfect.)
(It's golden brown.)
(The pork belly is being grilled to perfection by Tony's hands.)
It's just crispy enough.
Well done.
- You're good. - Don't mention it.
(It's time to teach him my secrets.)
You have to put this on top of grilled pork belly.
- On top of the grilled meat? - Yes. Put it on top.
It's really good.
- It smells lovely. - Yes.
It's water parsley.
It's good for your liver.
Rather than eating just the meat,
it's much nicer to eat the meat with grilled water parsley.
This is a new recipe.
She doesn't forget...
to serve kimchi too.
It's well-fermented kimchi.
(It's crunchy.)
(The crunchy kimchi is served on a plate.)
- Your hobby is fishing. - Yes.
My mother tells me not to do it.
Why doesn't she want you to go fishing?
She's a Buddhist.
She wants me to free the fish.
Your mother keeps telling you not to go fishing.
So why do you still go fishing?
Because I am lonely.
(He vents out his loneliness on his fishing rod.)
Fishing is the best way to beat loneliness.
He's a good husband material.
I don't know why he's not sold yet.
- I know. - I don't understand why.
Tony is an old bachelor too.
I know.
Tony, who beats loneliness by cooking...
cuts the grilled meat in bite-sized pieces,
the lady starts cooking a soup that exudes spring fragrances.
It smells lovely. What is that?
This is shepherd's purse.
- Shepherd's purse is... - It's shepherd's purse soup.
in season right now.
Shepherd's purse is in season because it's spring.
This is amazing.
Tony, seeing from here...
Cooking suits you really well.
(He looks like a sexy man who cooks.)
Your image is going to improve.
I am not doing this for my image.
I am doing this to fix you a delicious meal.
By the way, why do I have to treat you a meal?
(Their positions are reversed.)
(He serves the plate.)
- Is it already done? - It's grilled pork belly.
It's grilled pork belly with water parsley.
(It's got a nice shine.)
Grilled pork belly with water parsley.
You should take a seat and talk to Gyeong Gyu.
- You should take a seat. - Goodness.
(Tony will take care of the rest.)
I will finish the cooking.
(When she relaxes and starts talking...)
Tony has taken over the kitchen.
He uses all of his senses...
to serve the last dish.
(He controls the fire as if his life depends on it.)
(He uses his nose again.)
(Let's see.)
(The lady looks back.)
He told me to take a seat.
(The kitchen is mine.)
It's fine.
Let's serve them some water.
Give the crew members some water.
- The crew? - Yes.
I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you some water.
(He looks very obedient.)
(It's time to take a photo of the table.)
This is a meal from...
Daemyeong-dong of Daegu.
(Tony takes a photo too.)
This meal is prepared by...
the lady from Daemyeong-dong of Daegu,
who is as talented as a royal kitchen cook...
and who was assisted by the rookie chef Tony.
This is the collaboration work of the host and the guest.
There's something we do called Dinner Theater.
While eating the meal,
you will have a conversation about what happened today.
Do you usually talk to each other while eating dinner?
We talk a lot.
- You talk a lot, don't you? - we do.
(He doesn't know about it.)
Ready and action.
(Dinner Theater)
- Eat a lot. - Okay.
Did you have fun today?
Well...
- Yes. - Cut.
Your son is too awkward.
- He is... - You shouldn't be awkward.
Let's calm down.
You have to relax.
Ready and action.
Eat a lot, Son.
Thanks, Mom.
(They repeat the same lines as if nothing happened.)
Did today go well?
Yes.
Aren't you curious about what I did today?
What did you do today?
I went to visit the head monk.
- Right. - What did you do?
- I worked. - Okay.
And then I went to a sauna.
- Well done. - Okay.
Is that okay? Did it go on for two minutes?
(The conversation of the chatty mother and son is over.)
Madam, why did you raise the intonation for the last word?
I wanted to speak with Seoul accent.
Her accent suddenly changed.
So I wondered why she was doing that.
She was speaking Seoul accent.
- Thank you for the meal. - Enjoy. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
I will taste the soup first.
(Slurping)
- It's lovely. - Is it okay?
I love it.
Home-cooked meal is the best.
Of course.
(He eats a mouthful of grilled pork belly.)
(The home-cooked meal gives him catharsis.)
How long has it been since you had a home-cooked meal?
I haven't had my mom's food...
since last year.
I have to go to Gangwon Province to eat it.
- My mom lives in Gangwon Province. - I see.
(She brings out something.)
I forgot this.
- It would've been a shame. - Right?
This is amazing.
It's octopus.
(I will gather the energy of the universe and guess.)
(I think I smell the sea.)
Look at this.
(He made a perfect guess.)
It's really good.
He eats the grilled belly he cooked with his heart and soul...
and looks as if he's got the entire world.
As much as he enjoys cooking,
Tony enjoys eating.
He puts talking aside for a while...
and concentrates on communicating with the food.
It's really delicious.
(He adds shepherd's purse soup in the multi-grain rice,)
(mixes them together, and eats them.)
(He scraps the bowl.)
(He eats every grain of the rice with the bean paste soup.)
(He's touched.)
Gyeong Gyu focuses on eating the octopus,
as if all the fishing talk made him miss the sea.
(He targets the octopus.)
He also eats the grilled pork belly with cabbage.
Originally, the meal was only for the mother and son.
But their dinner became a little more lively and abundant.
(Their dinner became fuller as they became four.)
Can I ask you something?
- You are on "Men on a Mission". - Yes.
Hee Chul is on that show.
Is he really that handsome?
Is he as handsome as Kangta?
He's more handsome than me.
But in real life, I think you're more handsome.
You haven't seen Hee Chul in real life.
That's why I am asking if he's handsome.
I have never looked at his face closely.
I just casually look at him.
(She's very curious.)
Among all the people you've seen on TV,
who do you think is the most handsome person?
Won Bin. Of course it's Won Bin.
- Is he number one? - He is.
When I was in eighth grade,
I watched "Autumn in My Heart"...
and said that I want to marry Won Bin.
I told my parents that I want to be a celebrity,
and I just got really scolded and beaten.
- Did you get beaten? - I did.
Among all the members of H.O.T, why do you like Tony the most?
When I saw him as a grade school student,
he seemed to be the most handsome one.
You care a great deal about appearances, don't you?
- She cares a great deal. - I care a great deal,
but I ended up marrying this guy.
I didn't think about my own appearance though.
Didn't you marry him for his looks?
That's what I told my mother-in-law.
But that's not the truth.
I only considered his personality.
He's such a good-hearted man.
When I first met him at a church...
Do you know big streusel? It's the big sweet bread.
- I know. - He held it up to me and said,
"Do you want to eat this?"
He was stuttering.
He was doing this.
She was really pretty then.
So I...
Why did you give her the streusel?
I am always like this.
In my bag, I always carry...
instant noodles.
- Canned tuna. - And canned tuna.
I carry them in my bag.
When someone needs it,
I give it to the person.
I love seeing people being happy.
So I always have food in my bag.
But you have to know the time and place to do that.
When you go to a sausage stew restaurant,
- you have to order noodles. - Right.
But he says, "I've got instant noodles."
And he takes it out of his bag and put it in the stew.
The staff comes and asks why there are noodles in the stew.
How embarrassing is it to tell him that we brought it?
(His love for his magic bag surpasses time and place.)
Why do you carry instant noodles in your bag?
It was my hobby.
I still do something similar now.
When you work, you can sometimes get hurt.
So I always...
- carry the first-aid kit. - Right.
What do you do?
- We manufacture a car clutch. - You manufacture a car clutch.
People around you can get hurt, so you carry the first-aid kit.
- You carry the first-aid kit. - Yes.
Did he ask you out for two years then?
Yes. Strangely, we kept in touch.
Later on, when I was...
living alone,
he always asked if I went home safely or not.
My school was far from the church.
I thought, "I'm not his girlfriend."
Why would he be curious about that?
- When did you fall for him? - Right.
One day, he called me.
He didn't even ask me to go out with him.
He asked me to give him a chance.
At the time, I had never been in a relationship.
So I wondered what he meant by "a chance".
That's when we started dating.
Wait. Does that mean...
that you married your first love?
Yes, he's my first love.
That has been...
my dream. Marrying my first love.
The first person I loved...
dumped me. I got dumped once.
After waiting a year, I met her again.
After six months of dating, I got dumped again.
I waited another year and dated her again.
I got dumped again for the third time.
- I missed her for three more years. - When?
- Then I gave up. - When did it happen?
Was it before or after you debuted?
That was after I debuted.
- I guess girls in Seoul... - Who was it?
I guess they have a high standard. Right?
By the way, there's...
a world map where there should be a TV.
Why did you put a world map there?
- I really want to travel. - Right.
But our circumstances prevent us from traveling.
So I look at it and...
- Do you imagine being on a trip? - Yes.
I sometimes imagine. I always read travel books.
I travel through my books.
Is that why you put up that map?
- Yes. - Because you want to travel.
- Yes. - My wife...
has a wish list here.
Right.
This is what we wanted to do in life.
We wanted to travel around the world.
When you have a chance, you are going to do it.
- It's still valid. - Right.
You want to study English in the Philippines.
I went to the Philippines after I got married.
- You studied abroad. - Did you really?
How long did you go for?
I was supposed to go there for six months.
But my father got ill, so I only got to stay...
- for about 4 and half months. - About 4 and half months.
I came back after 4 and half months.
- It was supposed to be 6 months. - Yes.
- You went there alone. - Yes.
At the time, I was...
preparing to go to a law school.
"Graduating from law school" is in your wish list.
I wanted English to be my specialty.
When I get obsessed about something, I only do that.
So I was going to do it.
But I ended up coming home early.
so I didn't get into the law school.
I just had to take the exam.
When she went to the Philippines,
it was only a month after her back surgery.
It was surgery for cancer.
Is that right?
- It's... - It's okay.
It's fine because I'm good now.
Six months after I got married,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
- You must've been so shocked. - And your back was not good either.
After I got surgery for that,
while getting the treatment,
I decided to go to the Philippines.
It wouldn't have been easy for him to let you go alone.
I was going mad.
She really wanted to go.
In the end, she did go.
I ended up going, and I enjoyed my time there.
She's very determined.
She's very confident too.
We didn't have a child yet.
So I had to start something.
Once you're in, taking a break is fine.
- But if you are not in... - If you don't start...
Yes. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it.
Are you completely cured?
Last April was the end of my fifth year.
Then we got pregnant with a test-tube baby.
If I didn't have full-recovery...
(They talk about it now with a smile.)
Congratulations.
(It must've been hard to go through.)
You must've been really scared...
when you first got diagnosed.
I was young then,
I was 28 when I got the surgery.
When the doctor said that I have a cancer...
and that I have to get surgery...
I got the news on the phone.
When I got the call, I thought, "So I just have to get surgery."
I didn't think it was a big deal, so I got surgery.
I don't have one breast right now.
But at the time, I thought...
it's fine to have just one.
- You were very positive. - I didn't think much about it.
That's why I always...
recommend to girls here.
There are female crew members here.
You have to get a check-up.
You have to go twice a year.
Every six months.
These days, we eat a lot of processed food.
I didn't get it because I am special.
When you get the test often,
you can either prevent it or...
It's very important. It's very important.
My girlfriends and girls around me...
all got the check-up because I told them to.
(She hopes that nobody has to go through what she went through.)
You must've watched her go through everything. How did you feel?
I heard the news from her.
The moment I heard it...
Because it was so shocking,
I felt dumbfounded.
That's what happened to me.
I felt dumbfounded.
She got the treatment early,
so everything went well in the end.
But there were some tough moments along the way.
I am sure you must've gone through a lot to get completely cured.
Five years sound short.
- But it's actually a long time. - There are so many seasons.
And she went to the Philippines...
- before she got cured. - I went to the Philippines.
It was a month after I got the surgery.
I was in a lot of pain.
But I just went to study.
They opened up my back during the surgery,
and the back of the chair would touch the wound.
So I couldn't lean on the chair.
I had to sit like this the whole time.
I didn't want to waste time.
When you have passion, you have to chase it.
Your passion keeps telling you to do something.
I studied like crazy.
You must've wanted to seize each day.
- Yes. - Right.
I didn't even go to the store that was only 7 minutes away.
I locked myself in the school.
So you just went back and forth the house and the school.
- They had a dorm at the school. - They had a dorm.
- I just kept... - You just kept studying.
My English was really bad.
I thought it was my last chance.
I had to do everything I could do seize the opportunity.
I had to do everything.
It was very tough for you to get there.
Right.
She's making me reflect on my life.
Why?
It makes me think about how much time I have spent...
to develop myself and to achieve a goal.
- "Have I been as intense as her?" - I know.
I've been asking myself that in the back of my head.
- "What was I like?" - Right.
- Her story is inspiring. - I know.
You suddenly look very big.
- Don't say that. - Much bigger than me.
- I am not. - You wouldn't like it though.
You look bigger than Seo Jang Hoon.
Right. Is he really that big?
- Is he really big? - Unbelievably big.
- Very big. - When you meet him,
please tell him you met a pregnant lady in Daegu...
and that she's a big fan of his.
- At first, you said you're my fan. - Tony.
When we came up, you said you were Tony's fan.
When we asked, you said Won Bin was the most handsome.
Now you say you like Jang Hoon.
You can send a message to him.
Mr. Seo, I am your big fan.
I hope you will marry again.
It's really nice to be married.
I hope you won't get hurt by a woman.
You said he should get married.
She's suggesting it to him...
because she likes being married.
What's so good about being married?
I need to hear it.
When you get married...
I love the intimacy.
When my husband holds my hand,
he holds my hand like this.
He holds my hand like this.
Because he's my person,
when our hands clasp, it feels...
so lovely.
- Oh, dear. - Come on, Ho Dong.
- They clasp very nicely. - It feels strange.
You mean his hand feels like it's your hand, right?
- Like this. - As if it's one.
Don't you feel it?
When you look into your wife's eyes...
- You see yourself. - Right.
You can see Ho Dong in my eyes,
- and I can see myself in his eyes. - Right.
It's like this. If he's really...
your man...
I always say that, don't I?
You feel like you're one person.
Looking at him is like looking into a mirror.
It's like seeing my other self.
That's what's nice.
You should write that as song lyrics.
You are contained in your lover's eyes.
You are reflected in my eyes,
and I am reflected in your eyes.
We are one.
It sounds like song lyrics from the '80s though.
My husband...
- Everyone has his own smell, right? - Right.
Only someone close to you can smell it.
When you go home,
you should smell the back of your wife's ear.
Try smelling.
(He's shy.)
Only you can know the smell.
It should be early morning by the time I get home.
When she's asleep, I can...
Come on.
I can do that.
Don't I do that too, honey?
I got goosebumps. I am sorry.
But you see...
Don't talk to me.
- I don't have anyone at home. - If you are not married,
how could you smell that?
I can smell that because we are married.
When I meet my married friends,
90 percent of them say that I should wait a little more.
They would say that.
But it's really nice...
- to be married. - Right.
- It gives you energy. - That's what I need to hear.
I always tell you this, don't I?
I tell him that he's a successful husband...
because I would even die for him.
I always tell him that when he goes to work.
It's like this.
Ho Dong is already married.
So I want to say this to Kangta.
You might regret being married. And you might regret...
not being married.
If you're going to regret it anyway,
you should get married.
(The married man gets emotional.)
But my friends would never agree to that.
They always talk to me with envious eyes.
But now that I heard that from you, I feel differently now.
- You just said that from the heart. - Right.
It's not that you just say,
"You should get married."
I could actually feel how happy you are.
I think I'll change my mind.
What do you think marriage is?
- I should define it in one word? - Yes. Marriage.
People will hate it if I say this.
Marriage is all about sacrifice.
Why is that?
I have carpal tunnel syndrome because I'm pregnant.
I have a severe pain in my wrist.
It just hurts around the clock.
My husband used to wake up at around six in the morning.
But he now wakes up at around 5:30 or 5:40am.
He wakes up early...
and massages my wrist while I'm asleep.
It's like he sacrifices himself for me.
You can't think of it this way.
"I have to wake up at six and go to work."
"So you should take care of your wrist problem yourself."
It's just like sacrifice.
I agree.
So I want to do something for my husband.
Actually washing water parsley is not easy.
All housewives would know that.
It's really hard to wash it clean.
It requires a lot of work.
I should soak it in vinegar water and pick out leaves.
Water parsley is...
(They eat water parsley feeling impressed.)
- The water parsley means something. - Let's eat it.
I could've got some rest instead of washing it.
I need to get some sleep. I'm almost due now.
We could've had dinner without it.
But I chose to sacrifice myself.
You can't lead a happy married life without sacrifice.
The couple has been through hard times together...
with consideration and sacrifice for each other.
And now they dream of a happy future...
with their upcoming baby, Jeong Geum.
(Meanwhile, in the talkative mother and son's house)
What's your hobby, ma'am?
- My hobby? - Yes.
I volunteer at a Buddhist temple.
She attends Buddhist temple. She practices her religion.
It is great encouragement to me.
It means a lot to me.
So that's my hobby.
Has it been long since you started attending the temple?
It's been more than 20 years.
(Her religion has been a real support for more than 20 years.)
Let's have some coffee.
Drink it with this.
(Staring at it)
I just can't stop thinking about dish-washing.
- Dish-washing? - You know what?
(All Tony cares about is dish-washing.)
I live with men.
And we never do this.
We just don't want to wash the dishes.
- So we just eat it from a pack. - I see.
Tony runs his own business.
He runs an entertainment company.
He's the CEO.
He's a businessman.
I heard your son runs a business too.
They have a lot in common.
As a mother, aren't you worried...
that your son runs a business?
- Not at all. - Really?
What about you, Tony? Is your mom worried about your business?
- She's worried all the time. - Really?
She doesn't want me to do that.
She's just concerned that I'd fail in business...
and taste the bitterness of life.
That's what she's worried about.
I just realized one thing.
- I'm 41 year old now. - I see.
To my mother, I'm just...
- a little kid. - Right.
- She's always worried about me. - Definitely.
You two are like "Mom's Diary"...
in Daegu.
Your son...
is still single.
And you're concerned about him.
He's trying...
- to find a good spouse now. - Really?
He's an eligible bachelor.
I know.
Tony, what's your ideal type?
At some point,
I started to think...
if I have a problem.
Am I being too picky?
When I was younger,
I just thought it was fun even when I squabbled with my girlfriend.
But now I feel like...
I can't share my life with someone...
only with passionate love.
It's not that I only care about a woman's character.
I just have to consider a lot of things.
I agree.
It means you're being more mature.
And time goes by.
(Time passes in the meantime.)
- I guess it's mine. - All right.
(The mother's phone rings.)
Just tell her if it happens.
- Where are you? - She has an accent.
Okay. The back door?
All right.
- Who is it? - What brings you here?
My gosh.
Hello.
(The mother's best friends come to see them.)
(However...)
Who are they?
(She's not alone.)
- Who are the men? - They're friends.
- They're your friends? - Mom told everyone.
They're friends.
- Hello. - Thank you for coming.
- It's raining outside. - Hello.
Are they your friends whom you used to dance with?
Yes, we did that when we were young.
- Really? - We danced to H.O.T's songs.
- You danced together? - Yes.
What song did you dance to?
- Show him. - "We Are the Future"?
That's a difficult one.
(It was a bold choice.)
"We Are the Future."
Come sit here.
- Please have a seat. - Come here.
You'll be on TV. Come join us.
You should come here too.
- Come in here. - Have a seat here.
They're the son's friends. Please introduce yourselves.
(Heo Jae Young, Lee Jun Won)
- Introduce yourselves. - Hello.
I'm the house owner's son's friend from Daegu.
I'm Lee Jun Won. It's nice to meet you.
- He's Lee Jun Won. - Nice to meet you.
What do you do?
I work at...
a pharmaceutical company.
A pharmaceutical company. It was hard to understand.
- I was nervous. - He was too nervous.
Can you sing?
(Can you sing any H.O.T.'s song?)
Can you sing?
Please sing "We Are the Future".
All right.
This will definitely be aired.
- All right. - This is crazy.
- Then... - What?
(He checks his appearance first.)
Ma'am, please sit over here.
You should dance here.
Dance here. In the living room.
- Dance in the living room. - Is it the stage?
That's right. Go to the living room.
(They all move to the living room.)
Okay. Let's do this.
This is like a talent show.
- Let's do that. - He's a member of H.O.T.
It's H.O.T.
They are coming soon to threaten...
the greatest idol group of the 20th century.
H.O.T. in Daegu.
"We Are the Future."
This is so hard.
He just extended the stage.
They want to do it right.
Do you remember "We Are the Future"?
Like this.
That's all you need to do.
(Tony is being their leader.)
We will turn around and start dancing first.
You'll start dancing after that.
I think that would be enough.
Make it louder.
("We Are the Future" by Daegu H.O.T.)
(Eye-catching)
(Let's go, Daegu H.O.T.!)
(Let's go.)
(They dance in unison.)
(They can stand comparison with H.O.T.)
(Flapping)
(He's the dancing machine of Daegu H.O.T.)
He's good.
(Point)
(Dreams come true.)
(They dance with a real member of H.O.T.)
(The mother bursts into laughter.)
That's the point.
(Moving hurriedly)
(They're not fish.)
This is it.
- That was amazing. - Goodness.
(Tony admire them.)
Did you see that, ma'am?
That's your son.
I've never seen that before.
That was good.
(They danced to "We Are the Future" again with Tony in 20 years.)
That was amazing.
Please come have a seat.
It'll definitely be aired.
(Daegu H.O.T. is trilled to be on TV.)
I didn't know...
he'd dance behind me like that.
But he started dancing like this. I was so surprised.
He ran up to you hurriedly.
She was shocked.
"That's not my son."
- But this is the reality. - That's the reality.
- You should face up to the reality. - You should face it.
My goodness.
A young boy from Daegu who admired H.O.T...
has already grown up to be the breadwinner of his family...
who takes good care of his mother.
- Can I get you something? - What?
Something unforgettable.
It's good for prenatal education.
What is that?
A live song of H.O.T.
Kangta will sing live.
He'd be shy though.
- I'd be grateful. - I'm okay.
I heard good things and got good food from you.
Can I record a video of it?
- Of course. - It'll be on TV.
- I want to record it with my phone. - You can record a video.
He wants to record it with his phone.
Which song do you want me to sing?
There's his favorite song. You like "Light, Hope".
"Candy" or "Light, Hope".
I'll sing "Light, Hope" then.
Tony who sang the chorus is not here.
Oh, Tony.
(She wants Tony.)
(Trembling)
She's discouraging me before I start singing.
- She's discouraging me. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
(Kangta suddenly doesn't feel like singing.)
He was about to sing.
(He's ready to record.)
Listen to the lyrics carefully, Jeong Geum.
(I didn’t realize how precious you were)
(Because you were always with me)
(Happy)
(Kangta sings with a sweet voice for Jeong Geum.)
(His song makes Ho Dong want to dance.)
(Jeong Geum and Sun Young are happiest at this moment.)
(Let’s all make it together)
(Kangta sang with his heart.)
Thank you. It's such an honor.
- Swag. - Thank you.
Make sure to save it.
- Don't mess it up and delete it. - Don't worry.
If you delete it, she'll kill you.
(If he messes up, he's dead.)
Send a video message to Jeong Geum.
Jeong Geum. You're still kicking inside me.
I'm trying my best,
but I know I'm a novice mother.
I love you so much.
When you get married in the future,
marry someone like your dad, okay?
(She's already worried about her daughter's marriage.)
Meet someone like your dad.
(It's your turn, Hubby.)
We'll get to meet...
in about a month and a half,
I'm looking forward to the day we meet.
I'm grateful to everyone who created...
an unforgettable memory for you.
I love you, Jeong Geum.
It's touching.
When I left home today...
- I brought... - What is it?
a gift for you.
- What is it? - I...
Come out, Tony.
(Is his gift Tony she wanted desperately?)
It's magic.
- Abracadabra. - Hey, Tony.
(What did Kangta bring?)
It'd be awesome if he comes out.
This gave me inspiration for songs...
for eight years.
It's a speaker.
This is the charger.
It gave me passion for music.
Are you sure about that? It means so much to you.
I thought I should give something meaningful.
It has your touch.
I love it.
I used it for almost eight years.
You can connect bluetooth.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
This is going to be our family treasure.
You gave me such a precious meal and stories.
Thank you.
That's not enough to pay you back.
It means a lot to us.
When I prepared for the performance this time...
(Tony is delivering his gift.)
This is what I wore during the practice.
It contains my sweat.
- It doesn't stink though. - Okay.
I actually wore this.
(He delivers his clothes to the Daegu H.O.T.)
When he went to elementary school,
- they danced together. - Yes.
This is what a fate is, ma'am.
That's right.
You danced together since you were young.
After delivering the guests' gifts,
they finish up by washing the dishes.
- Do you wash the dishes every day? - Pardon?
Do you wash the dishes every day?
- I do at home. - What?
We should wash what we ate.
Doesn't it feel like we just read a book we could never buy?
I know. Seriously.
When I was listening...
I'm sorry, but can I have a picture with you?
- Here we go. 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
(A proof of washing the dishes)
Thank you.
You're so kind.
1, 2, 3.
Daegu.
(A picture with Dining Together family)
(Clicking)
(Cheese)
(After a hot encounter with fans in Daemyeong-dong,)
(they met the 125st and 126st families for Dining Together.)
I was really surprised.
You never know when they'll visit, so wash your face in advance.
Thank you for the speaker, Kangta.
Also, let's keep going until episode 1,000 of Dining Together.
- Dining Together, last forever. - Last forever.
- JTBC. - Dining Together.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
(Next week)
(Short track gold medalists are coming to Dining Together.)
(Shim Suk Hee)
Shim Suk Hee won three gold medals...
in the second World Cup.
(Choi Min Jung)
Player Choi Min Jung won the first place four times...
in the world championship.
I'm visiting Daegu after a long time.
The energy of the universe must've swooped on you.
(Laughing)
How was it today?
I think it's going to change me for a while.
My life and my attitude towards work.
My attitude towards my life will change.
(A jump to celebrate the successful dining)
It feels great.
- The energy of universe was in me. - Right.
Good luck.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Hooray for H.O.T.
(Hooray for H.O.T.)
A dinner that warms your heart. Will you join us for that?
(A dinner that warms your heart. Will you join us for that?)
