("Kick It with Your Feet, Speak It with Your Mouths")
I'm the goalkeeper of Radio Star.
I lose my control at times.
But I'm protecting Radio Star well as the oldest host.
I'm the mid-fielder of Radio Star.
I'm good at reading the air and pestering people.
Sooner than anyone, I assist others to laugh.
I sound like Inzaghi.
Inzaghi is the legend because of his skill to score with others' ball.
- That's true. - I sound like him.
- Inzaghi... - Is there a problem?
- No, not really. - Good.
You can't always score with others' ball, you know.
- For how long do you think you can? - As long as I want.
- That's a good skill though. - Of course.
I'm the striker of Radio Star.
With my feisty talking skill,
I will make you laugh a lot.
Kick it with your feet!
- What? - Why do you say it there?
- I improvised a bit. - We didn't talk about that.
I'm the defender of Radio Star.
I'm not going to make you bored.
I'm going to react as much as I can.
We are going to entertain you...
with our perfect chemistry.
You are watching a high-end multiplayer music program,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Radio Star!
Today, we invited people...
who come back here once every four years.
"Kick It with Your Feet, Speak with Your Mouths"
In 2002,
the lord of the ring shook the whole nation.
- He's Frodo. - However,
he's now trying to become the lord of variety shows.
- Ahn Jung Hwan! - Ahn Jung Hwan.
The first soccer commentator who's never been a soccer player in Korea.
Ahn Jung Hwan, Park Ji Sung, Son Heung Min, and Ki Sung Yueng...
Every soccer player has been in his commentaries.
The number one soccer commentator of MBC!
Seo Hyung Wook!
- Seo Hyung Wook! - Welcome!
He does look like he hasn't been a soccer player in his life.
- That's true. - I agree.
He is such a successful man who inspires everyone.
He quit and came back.
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't even know he became the freelancer.
I guess he felt how brutal the world is for a year.
He rejoined MBC lately,
and made everyone confused.
"When did he even quit?"
He's now the sports anchor of MBC.
I'm actually quite worried about him.
Kim Jung Keun!
It's Kim Jung Keun!
He's Kim Jung Keun.
Well, he's actually really good.
- Of course, he is. - I agree.
Playing soccer with his mouth, he conquered the online world.
10,000 people...
- watch his live broadcast. - That's a lot!
However, nobody knows who he is when it's not online.
He joined 2018 MBC World Cup broadcast!
- BJ Gamst, the soccer expert. - Gamst!
Welcome!
- Welcome. - Thanks for coming.
Kim Jung Keun!
- Hyung Wook! - It's nice to see you all.
- Gamst! - Nice to meet you.
Jung Keun, I can't believe it.
- I admire you for what you did. - Isn't he the first one to do that?
I saw him at "Same Life, Unlike Dreams 2" of SBS.
He was there lately. It was not so long ago.
I was there as a freelancer.
That's when I was trying really hard to achieve something.
I'm back here to work harder.
Ahn Jung Hwan, please say hello to our viewers.
Hi! I'm here again to make all of you laugh.
It's been four years! This is Ahn Jung Hwan.
- Ahn Jung Hwan! - "To make all of you laugh"!
Seo Hyung Wook, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, I've been working in MBC for 33 years, and I've been...
a soccer commentator for 19 years. I'm Seo Hyung Wook!
Nice to meet you.
- You've worked here for 33 years? - What does that mean?
I was in MBC Children's Choir.
- What? - Really?
- Children's Choir? - Seriously?
They paid me 4 dollars a week then.
I was regularly on this TV program called "Yes! It's Sunday!"
Do you remember any of the songs you sang then?
(Full moon...)
This is embarrassing.
I'm sorry. I haven't sung properly for 30 years.
Children's Choir.
Working here for many years is the only thing I could show off.
- So I just said it. - I see.
Kim Jung Keun. Please say hello to our viewers.
After working at MBC for 15 years,
it's my first time to be here at Radio Star.
Even though it's my first time, I'm going to win the second place...
for my airtime today.
- "The 2nd place"? - It's not even the 1st place.
A lot of you are amazing. That's too high for me to aim.
I'll do my best to be the second best talker.
I'm Keuni Keuni Kim Jung Keun!
- What? - What is "Keuni Keuni"?
It's about...
my new podcast channel.
I have to promote myself to the world more.
People call me Jung Pa at my podcast.
That's what I've been doing these days.
What have you done when you were a freelancer?
Did Kim Seong Ju not worry about you?
- Seong Ju was... - He's working somewhere else.
I thought he was going to text me at least.
You know, something to encourage me.
We exchanged telepathy.
- Did he? - That's convenient.
Are you Ppang Sang?
What does that mean even?
- It sounds like Ppang Sang. - He's nice. He used telepathy.
I received the good vibe.
Gamst, it's your turn!
Hi! Nice to meet you. I've been working at MBC for 10 days.
I'm doing live broadcast online about soccer.
I'm Gamst.
I'm really nervous, but I'll do my best today.
Just throw me any questions.
I loved to be pestered.
He's really famous online.
You know the singer, Parc Jae Jung,
he's in my company.
He's the honorary ambassador of K League.
He said he's a huge fan of yours.
He's not in the situation to take care of others at the moment.
- Right. - Is he?
There's a comedian at SBS.
- His name is You Jae Feel. - Oh, yes.
I heard you guys were in the same theatre company for a bit.
It was a comedy show group.
Yes, we did it for one and a half years.
Jae Feel made it, and I couldn't even make it to the interview.
You couldn't make through the document process.
- He found his own way now. - That's right.
Gamst!
By the way,
when MBC went on a strike lately,
the value of MBC and the other broadcasting stations...
has gone down a bit.
They even got Kim Jung Keun back.
I think that's why they had to invite Gamst too.
What do you think? It doesn't look like it's going to be easy.
Jung Hwan and I met after years.
We decided to take this job and talked about things.
I said, "Jung Hwan, SBS casted Park Ji Sung."
- "KBS casted Lee Young Pyo." - Oh, right.
They are amazing, you know.
But he was like,
"People will watch me more after watching theirs for a second."
He's full of confidence.
I didn't say people will watch me.
As I remember,
- it sounded like it. - So it's about your confidence.
- He does really have it. - That's what I'm saying.
You were here four years ago for the same reason.
By the way, you don't seem to work out at all these days.
You are only focusing on variety shows these days.
I've done it enough when I was out on the field.
I'm just learning about life through TV shows these days.
How many programs are you working on now?
Right now, I don't have that many programs. I'm doing three.
Seo Jang Hoon is on about 8 to 9 programs.
You're a bit behind.
- He is? - Yes.
You do feel slightly competitive, don't you?
- Not against Jang Hoon. - Is that so?
Okay. I see.
I don't feel competitive against indoor athletes.
- Indoor athletes? I see. - It's a different group.
- My goodness. - Outdoor athletes are more special.
(Is this a variety show version of a martial arts battle?)
It says here that...
- Hyung Wook has something... - Yes?
to ask Jung Hwan.
And the question is about Cha Se Jji's wedding.
- Cha Se Jji. - Yes, well...
Se Jji called me all of a sudden.
He wanted to know Jung Hwan's phone number.
- Se Jji called you? - Yes. I asked what it was about.
They met at this event. He told me that Jung Hwan...
- gave him a cash gift. - At the event?
- He couldn't attend the wedding. - He couldn't go.
But I found that strange.
He gave Se Jji a cash gift, but they don't know each other's number?
It looked like they were friends, but not that close.
- It's in the middle. - I wondered, "Why the cash gift?"
- Wait. - I was curious.
Why are you suddenly asking me that here?
- Do I have to answer the question? - I mean this kind of question...
He could have asked me in private.
It wasn't a big story anyway.
- He's not my boss. - Exactly.
- You could've asked in private. - I mean...
- What about the cash gift? - Tell you what.
This is Hyung Wook's first question today.
- I thought it'd be important. - This is...
- how Gu Ra looks at things. - Listen.
- He questions what he finds odd. - No, it's not that.
You see, I don't usually exchange text messages with these two.
That's why his text to me seemed strange.
Why did he have to go through you?
I wondered why they communicated through me.
Let me explain. I saw...
- Se Jji when he was little. - Okay.
- I didn't see him after that. - It was a bit tricky.
Since he was an acquaintance, I gave him the cash gift.
That's why. I don't think this is that important.
I'm sorry to say this during our first meeting.
- Wait, we've met before. - Yes.
The story sounds a bit trivial.
Was that so important?
(Feeling dizzy)
You don't mention trivial things while broadcasting, right?
Right?
Well, I... This... I'm flustered.
- I've never heard that in my life. - I see, very trivial.
As for broadcasting, he does a very thorough job.
- I see. - He's been doing well lately.
- How would you make it trivial? - Listen.
In my opinion...
- This is... - Since it's trivial, let's stop.
Viewers might be wondering...
who the fourth guest is.
- They might be curious. - He's a hidden card today.
He's a soccer broadcast jockey.
- Right. - Gamst.
Your shows are about soccer.
Please tell me what you exactly do.
I hold my own show online and broadcast soccer games.
I also play soccer games.
I talk about daily news regarding soccer and discuss soccer.
Unlike major TV stations,
you exchange comments online with your viewers.
- Right, right. - You do it all by yourself, right?
- I do. - I have a question.
Did you start having interest in soccer through games first?
- Or were you a soccer enthusiast? - How did that come about?
Or did you like playing soccer?
When Park Ji Sung joined Manchester United,
I started following the league.
- Overseas soccer matches? - Since then?
- My father hated that. - Whom did he hate?
- He hated me and soccer. - I see.
His dad probably didn't like Gamst watching soccer matches.
He hated me too.
Don't make your dad sound hateful on his own son.
- His hatred is understandable. - Don't. Let's talk about soccer.
- Okay, I got it. - Okay.
- He's proud of you now. Go on. - That's right.
- Well, I'm sorry Dad. - Right.
Where was I?
- Manchester United. - Okay, the Manchester United.
When I watched those games, my father didn't approve of me.
- I watched the games at late night. - Right. They're during late night.
That's why my grades were low. He asked what my average was.
I told him it was 50 and he asked, "How could you be so proud?"
- My father even said this to me. - Like what?
He said he was going to disown me. I should talk about this.
- Look at us, not the monitor. - Okay.
(He's checking on the monitor.)
Today, he's talking as if he's broadcasting.
- It's not broadcasting. Talk to us. - Talk to us.
- Okay, okay. - You made soccer quizzes in school.
- That's how it started? - What was your first soccer match?
I started broadcasting with the Premier League in England.
Do you put up the soccer match and broadcast while watching it?
- That's right. - With the TV on?
I connect the TV and my computer.
I would broadcast as if I'm a real commentator.
"Get the ball to that side."
"That's great. Great. Take the shot."
- "That was close." Like this. - Like that? I see.
Why did you name yourself Gamst?
It's...
I can't help but look at the monitor.
- It doesn't matter. - Look at us.
- Look wherever you want. - I keep looking there.
What are you looking at? The monitor?
- The monitor. - Or something else?
I must check if I'm looking okay.
(I must check if I look okay.)
- I have to check. - Wasn't he looking at the camera?
- Then you can look at the monitor. - Okay.
Besides, I noticed that Gu Ra...
was always looking at that.
I wanted to copy him too.
- I have a reason. - Okay.
- It's only when people sing. - Right.
I also look at the guests.
- Just be yourself. - Okay.
So why did you name yourself Gamst?
The name, Gamst...
I was a viewer like everyone else. But one day my friend...
suggested me to try it too.
At first I started broadcasting full of doubt in my mind.
- I had to pick a username. - Right.
I thought about what it could be.
At that time, my friend told me...
to try Gamst, who was Ji Sung's rival and expected to join the team.
- What? - At first, it was Rooney.
- Rooney. - Or Makelele.
- There's a player named Gamst? - That's a name of a player?
Yes, he's a Norwegian player.
- He's still playing. - Gamst.
- To be honest... - He used to be quite famous.
- Really? - I'm more famous now.
(His confidence is groundless.)
Nowadays, a lot of mothers know me too.
When I say my name is Gamst,
they go, "Gumst?"
This one old lady said,
"What? Guest?"
Some said that to me. I'm serious.
Since he used to prepare to be a comedian,
- he does these comedy skits. - Right.
- You practiced this a lot. - Right.
- Can you impersonate an old lady? - Yes, I can.
"Wait. What was your name again?"
"My name is Gamst."
"What? What?"
- What was that? - You don't...
- have to do everything he asks. - No, you don't.
- This is how I'll be more on TV. - I see.
- The timing was appropriate, right? - Thank you so much.
I really like it.
- I asked at the right timing. - Thank you for the great pass.
If you're thankful, look at them.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
What if you were asked to broadcast...
- the match as an old lady? - I'll try that right away.
"Pass it to the side."
"All you do is play soccer. but I could do better than you."
- You'd do it like that? - But...
(This is the result of him being overly excited for more airtime.)
- I see. - Okay.
Don't give him too many chances.
He might be overwhelmed.
(He's resting on the bench.)
Jung Hwan, you didn't have time to pay attention to Gamst,
so you had no idea who he was.
No, I had no idea who he was.
I heard Gamst was going to be a broadcaster too.
- I thought it was impossible. - You still can't believe it, right?
No, no. I can't.
- You still can't believe it. - So this is...
- The world is changing now. - I can tell.
- We filmed a promotion video today. - You still can't believe it.
We will have to broadcast soccer matches from now on.
I mean, Gamst is a funny guy.
But I wasn't sure if he should join us.
I thought about that a lot.
Do you want him to quit even at this moment?
A bit.
The World Cup hasn't started yet.
- That's on my mind. - In my opinion,
just like Shin Tae Yong chose Lee Seung Woo,
- MBC chose him after a long debate. - Right.
- You should believe in him. - Broadcasting soccer...
MBC thinks these individual broadcasters are competitions too.
- That's right. - So, this is a great decision.
- It really is. - I heard you'll do it online.
- I'll be doing it online. - Through the internet.
- Will you go to Russia with them? - No, no.
- He won't join us. - You'll do it separately.
- You'll do it separately. - They'll go to Russia.
- And I'll go back to my room. - I see.
A lot of people aren't happy with my involvement.
People online say why MBC chose to bring me in.
I do believe there was a reason...
- why MBC choosing me. - Why don't you talk to us?
- No, it's because... - His feelings are hurt.
- Viewers might think... - No, no.
- he's glaring at them. - No, no.
- It's not that. Be yourself. - They might feel uncomfortable.
- Go on. - They chose me because...
- People should always be humble. - Yes.
Teenagers and people...
- in their 20s like me. - Let him be.
When parents are watching from other channels...
kids might say, " Mom, I have to watch MBC for Gamst."
"Fine. Let's watch MBC then." That's my role.
- He keeps acting in between. - This is my question.
Will your broadcasting air live with theirs?
- No, it won't. - It won't air together.
- There will be two stations then. - He's on another station.
- I can watch your show only online? - Jung Hwan said...
- Yes, mine is online. - he couldn't stand...
- He's in the digital sector of MBC. - That's right.
- We'll do it through the channel. - You'll broadcast from the field.
- To our broadcasting, - That's right.
Gamst will add his opinions.
When Jung Hwan or Jung Keun says something, you might say,
- "No, that doesn't make sense." - That's possible.
- They can't hear that. - Right.
To be honest,
that's what I do.
That's right. That's what you should do.
"Hold on. I think Jung Hwan made a mistake."
- You could do this, right? - That's what I do.
"By the way, Jung Hwan's commentary..."
"Is getting shallower little by little."
- You'd say something like that. - Right.
- He's a new creator. - Right, right.
- That's it for you now. - Yes.
Rest for a moment, okay?
You have to pace yourself.
- But Hyung Wook said... - He might burn out.
he already knew about Gamst's abilities and popularity.
I've been writing an online column for over 10 years now.
At some point, I started getting weird comments on my columns.
The comment said, "In Jik".
And that comment got hundreds of likes.
I was so curious what it was. Later, I found out that...
- Gamst's real name is Kim In Jik. - In Jik.
That's your name?
- Yes. - The young adults would...
use his name to leave a comment.
They were having fun while doing that.
I didn't know, but there was this subculture with his name.
That's how he's already been gaining his popularity from teenagers...
- and people in their 20s. - He's influential.
And then...
there was this legendary "Four Byung Ji Incident".
- "Four Byung Ji Incident"? - You might've seen it.
- Is it related to Kim Byung Ji? - Yes.
There's this soccer game where you flip cards.
I saw that yesterday.
What is it?
- Instead of players he wanted, - My gosh.
- he kept getting Kim Byung Ji. - Okay.
- He cursed and pounded on his desk. - He cursed.
That's the incident that introduced Gamst to the public.
- I... - It gained a lot of attention.
I clicked a random video, but that's what I saw.
- Really? - I was so scared because...
I was going to look him up on that famous search engine.
Does Gu Ra always look that mad when others talk?
- Yes, this is how he looks usually. - Yes.
- He looks angry by nature. - Is that why you won't look at us?
No, no. I'm a big fan of his.
- Let me explain. - He always looks angry.
- I'm concentration on your story. - That's how he looks focused.
Besides, he's your true senior.
- He stabs people in the back. - He's your senior.
I kept helping him today.
No, no. It's not that.
I was focusing on your story.
- You seemed angry. - Okay.
- No, no. - He always looks angry.
I was focusing on your story.
(I might've gotten the wrong idea.)
I don't know much about video games.
He kept getting Byung Ji as his player.
He kept getting angry and smashed the chair.
- He got the same card three times. - What's interesting is that...
Byung Ji met...
up with Gamst which was noble of him.
That garnered a lot of attention.
- They met in real life. - That's why.
When I met up with him, he was very kind and great.
Just like Gu Ra, he took such great care of me.
He's a great guy.
- Byung Ji was born in 1970. - That's right.
- His son is playing soccer too. - Right, right.
I officiated Byung Ji's wedding.
(He brags out of the blue.)
- You don't have to sound impressed. - But you brought it up.
(They're flustered.)
Jung Keun said,
"I have a bad history with the hosts of Radio Star."
- Why is that? - Please elaborate.
After I became an announcer,
I wanted to be a DJ on a radio show the most.
During my 1st 6 months,
I became a regular panelist for a live segment...
on the radio show, "Date at 2pm" which Jong Shin hosted.
Right. You did that when you were a new recruit.
It was when I was just hired. I was so happy.
Even though I wasn't good, I tried my best to read the quizzes.
It hadn't been six months even. One day, out of nowhere,
- he wanted to shake hands. - Who did?
- Jong Shin did? - I did?
He wanted to shake my hand.
- I wondered why he wanted that. - It meant Jong Shin fired him.
When I shook his hand,
he said, "Jung Keun",
- "we have a new segment." - He fired Jung Keun.
- "Today..." - Isn't that the producer's job?
- He told me that. - It means he got you fired.
I was curious about the upcoming segment.
On Thursday,
- Was it the same segment? - I listened to the radio show.
The same segment I did was airing.
- I wondered what had happened. - They put in a new announcer.
A voice actor was reading the quizzes.
- Ahn Ji Hwan. We hired Ahn Ji Hwan. - A voice actor read the quizzes.
I was shocked at what Jong Shin had said.
- Why? What did I say? - What was it?
"All right. As of today,"
"the pronunciation will be more accurate."
What was that? No.
- No. - He won't lie.
(Feeling betrayed)
- I was an announcer. - It was in the script.
- That was in the script? - Since when did you follow that?
(Unable to rebut)
- And as for Gu Ra... - This is my assessment.
- Jung Keun. - Okay.
He did the right thing by coming back.
You won't be able to survive as a freelancer like this.
(He's brutally honest.)
- I'm glad you came back. - He's better off here, right?
He needs MBC to protect him.
- No, no. Listen, Gu Ra. - You can't survive like that.
- Don't stop him when it's yours. - Tell us about the bad history.
So as for Gu Ra,
- we were on an SBS show together. - Right.
I filmed only once in the studio set.
After that, I was let go.
- I wasn't the one behind it. - You weren't.
We didn't get to continue working together.
- Jung Keun... - With Gu Ra, you...
even sent me a text message.
- You can't say things like that. - My gosh.
- He had a trump card hidden there. - Jung Keun...
Jung Keun, you can't say that.
- I... - Look at the message he sent me.
- My gosh. - "Hello, this is Jung Keun."
"I came to MBC."
"I'll see you tomorrow at the filming. I'd appreciate your help."
- I... - Okay.
I met you at SBS.
You were very kind to me,
but when we started filming, it was hard.
- I wanted you to go easy on me. - And...
Lee Ji Ae sent me a message too.
"Hello, Gu Ra. It's Ji Ae."
"Jung Keun practiced a lot of special skills..."
"while walking along the Han River for Radio Star."
"Please help him."
I replied, "Of course. It'll be fun."
- This guy doesn't keep secrets. - Right.
Please show us the special skills later on.
- He won't do anything. - That wasn't cool of you.
You saved Ji Ae's number with her full name,
but you didn't save his number.
(Gu Ra didn't program his number.)
- Hey, why did you look at my phone? - He didn't save the number?
- I mean... - He's so weird.
He didn't even save the number.
Why did he look at my phone?
- He could've saved the number. - Please save my number.
- Exactly. - It's just that...
- Your number... - Please like me.
Your number is saved on my flip phone.
- Hey. - He's speechless.
He has a name too.
(Teasing)
- My gosh. - Be supportive.
Why did you look at my phone?
I could just see it. It was just too funny.
There's no name. Only his number pops up.
(An MBC announcer)
I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry.)
Gamst, you claimed that your life is going exactly like Gu Ra's.
- Oh, yes. - We don't need your claim...
- to see that it is similar to his. - Right, right.
First of all, I think the size of my face is similar to his...
when I go like this.
- My nickname is... - Yes, I do see the resemblance.
- Gam Gu Ra. - Gam Gu Ra.
Another similarity is that you sweat a lot just like me.
- I sweat a lot. - I wipe off my sweat too.
- I have to wipe it too. - I do this too.
- You do sweat a lot. - That's true.
- The online show. - The online show.
- I started my online show too. - That's the same.
- That's the same. - He majored in English at Inha.
I majored in English at Chosun University.
- He did graduate from there. - I did.
- And what else? - Pronounce "member".
- "Member". - He pronounces it differently.
- I say, "member". - He says it like that.
- There's a separate word for that. - Okay.
What about "number"?
"Number".
- He says, "number". - Right.
- What was that? - "Number".
- It's "number". - That was funny.
- He's funny. - "Number".
- He wanted to be a comedian. - Right.
- He used to be a comedian. - Can you broadcast World Cup?
(He's starting to get worried.)
- Come on, do a better job. - Right.
You need to attract the teenagers.
His seat comes with great energy.
- Not so long ago, - Okay.
- Ri Sa Bae thrived seating there. - She did so well.
- We were talking about Sa Bae. - That's right.
The Internet is the basis for both of your shows.
- I think he'll be great. - Thank you.
- Are you done with your story? - No, I can continue.
- Then please go on. - The most important part is...
that Gu Ra's son, MC Gree...
sent me a message.
- MC Gree sent me a message. - What did he write?
He wrote, "Gamst,"
"I support your show. Please keep up the good work."
- I was so surprised. - My son does watch soccer matches.
- A big star like him knew me. - No, he's not a big star.
- He is. - No, no.
- To me, he is. He really is. - No, my son isn't a big star.
- No way. No. - I mean it.
Don't say that.
- After that... - Seriously.
- What happened then? - I'd like to thank him.
He likes the show.
Dong Hyun likes soccer.
- He watches Gamst's show. - Right.
- Let's take a photo later. - Sure.
(His claim continues on to the 2nd generation.)
- I heard SBS made an offer too. - Really?
- Yes, yes. - Why did you choose MBC?
A manager offered me the spot. The manager...
Isn't the manager here?
No, he's not here. Anyway...
- I'll speak my mind more freely. - Okay.
- He's over there. - I see. I know the manager.
I see.
I'm sure he's very disappointed too.
- Why did you choose MBC? - Please continue.
The manager sent me this message.
This might make you cringe a little.
"It's bright outside today."
"I don't know if I should say this."
"I'll make it impossible for you to walk around on the street."
When I heard it...
- Really? Because you'll be famous? - Yes.
- I thought to myself that... - There were many reasons.
I'll be so famous that I can't go out.
I was determined to take the MBC's offer.
Why didn't they tell me that?
You aren't that close.
(His answer is explicit.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with four guests who came together for the 2018 Russia World Cup.
"Kick It with Your Feet, Speak with Your Mouths" will begin.
Jung Hwan, you said before the World Cup,
you're living your life on edge just like the national players.
- I do get nervous... - I see.
because I went through that as a player...
and as a commentator too.
I found myself getting ready for the World Cup.
I'm appearing on shows now,
but I only think about the World Cup.
That's why I'm under great strain.
- I feel like I'm a player. - Right.
You're worried about the performance too.
Jong Shin predicted that they would lose three matches.
- You threw me under the bus. - I mean...
Some are quite extreme in their opinions.
- I was making an honest prediction. - Exactly.
- It'd be hard to even win a match. - That thought crossed my mind too.
- That's the public's opinion. - Right.
It might be hard to win two matches.
I think they might be able to win at least one match.
They must win at least once.
They must win, lose, and tie once...
- to raise the chance of advancing. - That's right.
Then you predict that they will win, lose, and tie once.
- No. - He's going to tell us now.
It's just a prediction.
I'm saying that's how they can advance.
- They must win, lose and tie once. - I can't share my personal opinion.
This is the downside of Jung Hwan.
During the last World Cup in Brazil,
Young Pyo from KBS was good at making predictions.
- That garnered a lot of attention. - Right.
His predictions he makes in private are pretty accurate.
He tends to be critical.
He would share his opinions.
But as soon as the cameras are rolling, he won't predict.
I wish the public would recognize his ability to make predictions.
But he said that's not what soccer is about.
Then why don't you take that role at a time like that?
"Jung Hwan said this in private."
You can share what he said. Don't you think that would work?
Why don't you just record the conversation?
(That'd be typical on Radio Star.)
I don't predict on TV because...
I was a player once.
When commentators say this will be a hard match,
I'd question if it'd be difficult. It brews doubts in our mind.
But other players like Young Pyo share their predictions.
I'm saying that's wrong.
And besides...
- He was a player once too. - Exactly.
Young Pyo... I'm not sure.
- I thought he was a Christian. - Okay.
He's not a fortune teller.
Why is he making guesses?
I don't like that about him.
He might be good at broadcasting,
but I hope he'd be more considerate of the players.
This year's World Cup will be different from the previous one.
SBS hired Ji Sung too.
Things are not looking good for many reasons.
- Ji Sung joined SBS. - Right, right.
I noticed this about him during interviews.
He seemed like he wasn't that witty, but these days,
he's gotten much better.
I can't agree or disagree. We only text these days.
- I haven't talked to him. - Is it fun texting with him?
No, it's not fun.
- It's not fun at all. - Is that so?
Ji Sung starred on Running Man a few times.
He's gotten wittier.
He's gotten slightly wittier, but that's the power of editing.
(He makes a sharp comment.)
Please continue.
I wasn't planning to be funny at all.
But seriously,
I'm really sad when people say I'm not really professional.
I love soccer more than anyone.
And I've played it more than anyone else.
During the 90 minutes of the game, only the 1 or 2 funny words I say...
trends among people. That's not very pleasant.
I'm really sad about that.
And that's the only thing they write on the newspapers.
- All the memes... - That's right.
Anyway, I don't think Ji Sung will do well.
- That's... - Is that what you expect?
Yes. I mean,
I'm not saying anything bad about him now.
But, since SBS casted him,
it's on the top of the list to watch for a lot of people.
They say Lee Young Pyo is the next, and I'm the last option to watch.
What about Lee Chun Soo?
He's not even someone to be mentioned.
- Goodness! - He's not good enough.
- Where is he? - JTBC?
- They don't even broadcast. - Oh, really?
They don't have the right to do it anyway.
- Tell him to join us. - He is also a broadcaster,
but JTBC can't live broadcast it.
- That's a bit sad. - There's a way.
- He has no choice. - Like what?
Do you want to do it with me online?
(Unexpected online live broadcast)
Anyway, I want to change what people are thinking.
- You should! - I want to.
Jung Keun, you said you never had a meeting for the broadcast...
because of Jung Hwan.
I was going to discuss things with Jung Hwan.
But he's so busy with other programs already.
- He is busy. - He's really busy.
What surprised me the most was when MBC casted Jung Hwan...
for the first time four years ago.
I called him on this Saturday, for the K-league opening ceremony.
I asked, "Do you want to record with me by chance?"
Even though it's not going to air properly.
I thought he would just say no.
But he just came to me by himself with his backpack.
He sat in the room for reporters...
and did it so well, even when it wasn't airing or anything.
- He was doing his best. - I see.
Even after that, when there was a broadcast,
he just casually came to the studio without any makeup.
However, now after four years,
he has people around him taking care of his looks when the camera's off.
- The makeup team? - Yes.
- He's on many TV programs... - He has the instinct to survive.
He knows how to criticize people while complimenting them.
(The rule of nature he earned from the brutal world.)
He's just so busy, I'm worried.
- We need to practice. - I didn't know that was a thing.
- Practice makes perfect. - I was really surprised.
Ji Sung and Young Pyo wouldn't be able to do it.
(He subtly promotes his specialty.)
Jung Hwan said Seo Hyung Wook is good at...
digging.
Is it something like Cha Se Jji's story?
He knows about a team I don't know.
And he even knows about someone in that team who's not famous at all.
He just knows every information about him.
- Even about his private life? - Yes.
Everything about his life, his stories and so forth.
He surprises me quite often.
I really think highly of that.
Where do you get information? Do you get that online?
That's one of the cases. When there was no internet,
- I'd dig magazines from Dongdaemun. - That's right.
In the past, we could get signals from Japanese satellites in Busan.
So, I got some videos recorded through...
some people who were selling videos like that.
- He worked hard. - I'd look into stuff like that.
In 2001, I was a huge fan of Jung Hwan too.
- When he was in Italy, - Perugia?
I even went to Perugia to see him.
- Did you get to meet him then? - I couldn't.
- He wouldn't have anyway. - But now you guys met.
He wasn't someone like now back then.
He is not easy to meet. Jung Keun couldn't see him either.
I didn't know about him then.
(How could we meet when I didn't know him?)
Is there anything interesting you want to share while you're here?
About something that you only know.
The final list of players has been announced lately.
- Moon Seon Min is included. - Oh, him!
- He is now at... - He's at Incheon United.
- He's doing great at K-leagues. - Yes.
- Moon Seon Min. - That's him.
He actually debuted through an audition program for soccer.
- Really? - A soccer equipment company...
held an audition in every country. One audition was in London,
and it was for everyone from every country.
Guus Hiddink, Luis Figo,
and Arsene Wenger were judges.
He was the top eight to survive that audition.
That's how he was selected from a third division team in Sweden.
He started at the 3rd division, but he ended up at the 1st division.
He came back to the K-league and became the member...
of the national team too.
He is the epitome of a mankind's victory. It's amazing.
I have mixed feelings when I think of the story of his life.
I'm just so happy for him.
- His name is Moon Seon Min. - Moon Seon Min...
- I'm going to remember his name. - He played in Sweden.
- And our first game is with Sweden. - Alright, Moon Seon Min.
If we lose then, I don't think we'll pass the next stage.
So, we have to beat Sweden.
- That's right. - I see.
But we are always good at the first match.
- That's true. - We drew with Spain in 1994.
We scored the first goal with Mexico in 1998.
We beat Poland in 2002.
We beat Togo in 2006.
Ahn Jung Hwan scored at that match.
We beat Greece in 2010.
In 2014, we should have won it, but drew with Russia.
It was really close though.
That's why I'm trying to be positive about it.
We asked Jung Hwan who he felt more comfortable around between...
Jung Keun and Hyung Wook. He said...
- it's Jung Keun. - That's true.
Jung Keun is quite honest.
He's easy to trust.
If you think about Seong Ju, he's trying to make it too funny.
That actually makes me look like I'm a funny person too.
I do think it's great that Seong Ju is not part of our team this year.
- Right. - MBC is...
They should know that.
MBC should make things clear.
(Sorry, Seong Ju!)
How about you Jung Keun? Who do you feel more comfortable with?
Actually, I learned how to comment from Hyung Wook for the first time.
- Really? - He's someone who taught me.
So, I feel really special about that.
On the other side, Jung Hwan's first impression was great too.
When I had the exam to get in MBC,
the last task was to broadcast a soccer game.
It was a minute-long task.
I had to commentate Jung Hwan's golden goal moment in 2002.
I did that task...
at the president's office and became an anchor.
Late when I saw Jung Hwan walking down from the sports department,
I felt so strange.
Can you commentate that again?
Would you do the ceremony, Jung Hwan?
Don't make me do that.
- Just when he made the goal. - The 2002 World Cup.
- You remember how, right? - I'll do it then.
He's about to wear a ring soon.
- He's going to wear one soon. - Right...
What's wrong with that?
- His wedding aired yesterday. - Yes it did.
- Okay, okay. - Anyway,
- Let's see how you do it. - What happened was...
The 2002 Korea and Japan World Cup,
the overtime match is going on between Korea and Italy.
The score is tied 1 to 1.
Lee Woon Jae's long pass forward.
Song Chong Gug sharply passes towards left.
(It feels like we are actually watching the match now.)
Lee Young Pyo's cross! Ahn Jung Hwan's header! It's a goal!
It's a goal!
Korea's creating a new history!
- That was great. - That's amazing!
That's a lot neater than Kim Seong Ju.
(The neat comments that make you see with your ears.)
At the pre-filming interview,
Gamst talked more about Park Ji Sung,
the commentator of SBS,
than Ahn Jung Hwan.
Which team do you originally support?
- Manchester United. - That's right.
He's the reason why you started liking soccer.
- That's true. - Of course.
Can you say the exact same thing, looking at Jung Hwan?
I can. Let me try it. Well... First...
You turned too much. We can only see your back.
- That's... - In my opinion,
you look better from the front.
- Thank you. - Looking your side...
I realized you look cuter from the front.
Please look at us and say things.
To be honest...
Jung Hwan is also my star. He's a huge fantasy.
- But I began to like soccer... - Because of Ji Sung.
because of him. I guess I talked about him a lot.
Have you met Park Ji Sung in person?
- No, I haven't yet. - You must be wanting it so much.
I wish I could do a broadcast with him.
- Oh... - You should have gone to SBS.
I guess you didn't know about that when MBC offered you this job.
My decision would have been the same even though I knew about that.
(Are you watching me now, Boss?)
I love Jung Hwan so much. I can even say every team that he was in.
- Where was that? - Tell us.
Yokohama, Shimizu S-Pulse,
Daewoo Royals, and...
- That was a long time ago. - They had that name then.
- AC Perugia, - Oh, Perugia.
FC Metz, MSV Duisburg,
and at last, Dalian Shide.
I even went to see his farewell match.
That's amazing.
His speech at the retirement ceremony was like,
"Hello, this is Ahn Jung Hwan."
- "I've been a soccer player..." - He knows a lot of things.
I can even remember things like that.
He's even impersonating him!
(He's proving himself as a real fan.)
You are also the ambassador of K-league now.
Yes, I am.
When I first took that job, A lot of people online hated it so much.
Because you made some negative comments about the K-league before.
When viewers asked me why I didn't broadcast any K-league matches,
- I said, "Because it's boring." - You could think that way.
I just said that because I didn't find it fun.
They said, "Don't look down on K-leagues, you just made a mistake."
I said, "I don't think it's a mistake. Don't you feel the same?"
They also asked if I would become the ambassador if I get to.
I said, "I would if they offered."
- Because it should be promoted. - That's true.
I mean, I didn't think it would happen. But they did offer!
Why did they offer you that?
- That's interesting. - Why?
I'm sure they also thought, "Maybe..."
I think he's right.
- That could be it. - I think I know why though.
I went to a fortune teller and was told that I will face three suns.
I think the three suns are, one, being the ambassador of K-league,
two, being MBC's ambassador,
and three, Radio Star.
- Right. - He's going a bit far.
You are not the ambassador of MBC though.
You are the online commentator of MBC.
- I'm sorry. - You don't have to be sorry.
He's not someone who admits his faults this easily.
He's very different today.
Talking to Gu Ra is like talking to a big brown bear.
He's the ancestor of online broadcasting.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Jung Keun is worried about...
how Gamst will do his job. Why are you so worried?
Is it because he could act unexpectedly?
Gamst shouldn't broadcast any Korean matches.
- Why? - He could say things unfiltered.
Because he actually puts his emotions in it.
I don't know what he'll say. It's unpredictable.
Unless we put a filter on his mouth...
People who watch Gamst's videos online...
- might want him to be partial. - That's right.
We wanted him to be the bridge between the generations...
because he would be perfect for the role.
Despite that, I would feel nervous about working with him...
for a major broadcasting station.
I can see in the way Gamst looks at you...
that you are the last thing on his mind.
That's correct.
My goodness.
Now, we are criticizing each other. What do you think about Hyung Wook?
Both of them are boring.
I see.
- They aren't supposed to be funny. - That's right.
Jung Hwan is funny.
He is funny and talented at giving a running commentary.
He is perfect. He is really perfect.
Then why did you criticize Jung Hwan's character in a game?
- His character in a game. - Yes.
I see that everything I said in an interview becomes a question.
(Laughing)
His character is nice,
but bad at tussling.
You are talking about the character's attributes.
Those things matter when you play a game.
His character would fall.
His character has good skills and techniques.
They are amazing.
- His character does this. - In the game,
- his character is the best. - That's right.
In a game,
do attributes never change?
You can strengthen the character.
Is that possible?
You can raise the stats.
There is something called a gold card.
It's like a gold medal in the Olympics.
Even when I used it, his character was bad at tussling.
You are talking about the game.
There is no cure for that.
I don't know if I should say this,
but it's nearly impossible to strengthen the character.
He must have spent a lot of money.
He must have spent a lot of money on Jung Hwan's character.
His character is really bad at tussling.
It shows that you have love.
- You have love. - You tried to use the character.
Thank you for spending a lot of money.
(Thank you for spending a lot of money.)
You don't tussle in real life.
- No, I don't. - He doesn't tussle.
The game developers took note.
- The game developers took note. - It's not like that.
Why would I tussle when I can dodge other players?
(He is annoyed.)
It's Jung Hwan's second time to broadcast the World Cup.
I heard that you developed tact.
At first,
I prepared for many things.
However, I couldn't use anything...
- during the live broadcasting. - I know it's hard.
I can only use...
the knowledge I have...
and the experiences I had.
I won't make preparations this time.
I developed tact.
An exclamation is better than a thousand words.
You are good at imitating Cha Bum Kun.
That's right.
- It's better than a thousand words. - "It's okay, it's okay."
That's right.
He is good.
"He needs to come from the behind."
(He wraps it up.)
These exclamations were used by Shin Moon Sun and Cha Bum Kun.
These days, sports broadcasters analyze the game.
If I just go, "Oh," people will change the channel.
- That's right. - People will change the channel.
- "People are changing the channel." - He is right.
"People are changing the channel."
- Memorizing the names is hard. - It's hard.
There are 32 countries.
I have to memorize the coaching staff's names, too.
Even if there are 30 players in a team,
I might end up memorizing 1,000 names.
- The pronunciation is hard, too. - The pronunciation is hard.
There was a soccer player with a funny name.
You mean Shibasaki.
The sports anchors struggled because it sounds like a swear word.
"Shibasaki, Shibasaki."
- Shibasaki is his real name. - It can't be helped.
Is there a name that is difficult to pronounce?
- There was Zola. - Zola.
It must be hard when Zola does a good job.
"Oh, Zola... Oh, that was close."
"Zola shoots!"
"Zola didn't score a goal."
This is...
This is awkward.
Is Zola handsome?
He isn't very...
- I see. - He's handsome.
I almost fell for his trick.
Zola isn't freaking handsome.
(He does what Jong Shin wants.)
In that case,
is Zola ugly?
He is freaking ordinary.
(He is freaking ordinary.)
Jung Keun did his research and found that...
Jung Hwan's commentary shows...
his habits and cliches. What are those?
There is a specific way all former soccer players talk.
They don't enunciate.
For an example,
we were in a spot commercial for the World Cup.
"How will the first game against Sweden go?"
Jung Hwan's line was,
"Ki Sung Yueng should provide balance with his experiences."
That was his line.
However, he mumbled the words.
I guess it's a part of his character.
Isn't Lee Young Pyo the same?
Lee Young Pyo...
I get it. He enunciates.
The thing is...
I don't enunciate. He enunciates.
The thing is...
I don't enunciate.
- He tells his stories. - That's Jung Hwan's charm.
That's Jung Hwan's charm.
MBC's broadcasting for the World Cup will be ruined.
(MBC's broadcasting for the World Cup will be ruined.)
Gamst, you often have a meeting with the sports section of MBC.
I heard that you feel uncomfortable every time you propose an idea.
Do people ignore you?
There is a group chat room.
When I propose an idea, they go,
"That's nice."
"The internet streamer sure has original ideas."
Then they don't use my idea.
I also went,
"Why don't Jung Hwan and I visit a school..."
"and see which one of us is more popular?"
"Then more teenagers will watch MBC."
"That's an excellent idea."
Then they didn't use the idea.
Visiting a school with Jung Hwan will be hard since he is busy.
Jung Hwan wouldn't want to go.
Jung Keun could go,
but Jung Hwan is busy.
Jung Hwan and I could have a free kick match.
(That's his next idea.)
- He wants to depend on Jung Hwan. - Seriously.
He wants to do everything Jung Hwan doesn't want to do.
It's not even original.
Jung Hwan's rivals are Lee Young Pyo of KBS...
and Park Ji Sung of SBS.
Did you say that their commentaries will be boring?
As soccer players, Ji Sung and Young Pyo...
- are better than me. - That's right.
They have similar styles when it comes to commentating.
Young Pyo is good.
Unlike me, he enunciates.
- He relays the information well. - He does.
- He is logical, too. - Yes.
- Despite that, he is a bit boring. - You think he is boring.
As for Ji Sung,
he must be under a lot of pressure from being a sports commentator.
I am thankful for him...
because his decision made the World Cup more popular.
I know because I have done it four years ago.
- Commentating is not easy. - No, it isn't.
I am worried that it will pose as a risk to Ji Sung.
You don't call him often, do you?
No, I don't. I only text him...
- time to time. - With whom would you drink?
Neither.
You don't want to drink with them.
Both of them are boring.
(He is joking.)
(Boring)
When Gamst was chosen...
as the digital sports commentator for MBC,
there was a big controversy.
People asked, "Can he commentate without swearing?"
- I will refrain from swearing. - That's the way to go.
When I swear, people like me this much.
If I manage to be funny without swearing,
- people will like me more. - That's the spirit.
(Proud)
Thank you so much.
- What? - What was that for?
It's incredible...
that a celebrity is impressed by me.
I wanted to hear Gu Ra make that sound.
(Embarrassed)
The swear words might come out if you get excited, right?
- If they do... - I have to go,
"Don't do it."
I have to stop myself.
I have to suppress myself.
Otherwise, I end up blurting out the swear words.
I saw that he slams the table.
- Instead of swearing... - He slams the table.
- This is okay. - Do you want me to show you?
Go ahead.
"Gosh, what was that?"
(Exploding)
- That's okay. - Is that what he does?
- That's okay. - "Why did he do that?"
- That's okay. - That's what he does.
It's nice.
He doesn't go further than that.
- It's like "Nanta". - That's right.
- It's like "Nanta". - You should prepare...
- a tray filled with water. - You are talking nonsense.
(You went too far.)
(Should I do this?)
Jung Hwan predicted the rankings of the three major stations...
in terms of the TV ratings.
- Top one. - Here is what I predict.
(A minute later, they will reveal everything.)
(Caution, an anchor is going wild.)
(He goes wild as well.)
(Will MBC's sports broadcasting be okay?)
(The second part that is as exciting as the World Cup will begin soon.)
Jung Hwan predicted the rankings...
of the three major stations in terms of the TV ratings.
- Number one? - Here is what I predict.
I won't place last.
- You won't place last. - No.
You will neither place first nor place last.
I will be somewhere in the middle.
- Somewhere in the middle. - That's my hope.
Who do you think will place last?
- It's a difficult question. - Yes.
My guess is Gamst.
(He's joking)
(My goodness.)
I think it will be influenced by how the national team does.
If the team doesn't do well,
Lee Young Pyo's type of criticism...
- will be popular. - He reprimands the team.
The viewers will want that style.
If the atmosphere becomes festive because the team does well,
- Jung Hwan's encouragement... - He has a way with words, too.
and good cheer will be popular.
We should have a dramatic come-from-behind victory.
- We should have that. - Sports are all about...
- beating the odds. - That's right.
From losing as 2 to 0 then winning by 3 to 2.
That would be the best.
A come-from-behind victory is the best.
- Then everyone will go wild. - That's right.
- The entire nation will go wild. - That's right.
We will drink beer and go wild.
(He is funny.)
We'll drink beer because we are happy.
- We should drink beer. - That's right.
Chicken and beer are the best food when watching the World Cup.
- That's right. - Chicken and beer are the best.
Let's go wild together.
(Let's go wild together!)
Jung Keun said that among the sports broadcasters,
he is on a different level.
I made an objective analysis.
When I compare my looks to those of the sports broadcasters...
in other stations...
such as Bae Seong Jae and Lee Kwang Yong...
I know Lee Kwang Yong.
I think I am the most handsome.
When you look at the picture-in-picture...
- I agree with you. - Even Jung Hwan...
is very handsome, too.
- MBC has handsome people. - That's right.
Since a soccer match goes on for 90 minutes,
- it's crucial to have a voice... - Yes.
that isn't boring as a sports anchor.
My voice is trustworthy.
Plus, you don't get bored of listening to it for a long time.
In terms of voice and looks, I think I am better than the others.
Isn't your voice a bit boring and sleep-inducing?
When you only listen to my voice,
it will stand out.
You will have to beat Bae Seong Jae's ad-libs.
- He has incredible ad-libs. - He really does.
He does, but people are used to them.
- Everyone makes ad-libs. - He even has...
- a successful brother. - Yes.
It helps with his popularity.
What did you want to say?
Even if Bae Seong Jae has good ad-libs,
Ji Sung wouldn't be able to respond.
(Ji Sung wouldn't be able to respond.)
He keeps Ji Sung in check.
(He continuously keeps Ji Sung in check.)
"He won't be able to respond".
- That's right. - My goodness.
Gamst,
from watching soccer games all around the world,
you came up with a specialty.
You will imitate the broadcasting of different countries.
Will you take us to Great Britain first?
- I will start there. - The Great Britain.
(The English Premier League)
(Babbling)
(They can't understand him, but the match becomes intense.)
(He's super brazen.)
- It was funny. - It was nice.
- It was nice. - It was similar.
It's funnier because he majored in English Literature.
(What does it have to do with his major?)
Gamst did a good job.
Where will you take us next?
- Take us to Japan. - Japan?
(It's impossible to understand.)
(Nakamura Shunsuke shoots!)
(Oh,)
(thank you for the food.)
- What was that? - He's good.
- Is there more? - Anymore?
- China. - China.
(The Chinese broadcasting continues.)
(He looks like a Chinese man.)
(It's a shoot.)
(That's too bad.)
(For some strange reason, they understand him.)
This is what they do in South America.
Yes, South America.
(He's super excited.)
(The most passionate broadcasting in the world.)
Did you show any talents at the audition for comedians?
I didn't do this.
You should have.
You should have done this.
I can imitate Song Jae Ik a little bit.
- Really? - He was a sports anchor.
Choi Yong Soo moves a little to the side.
Lee Sang Yoon shoots!
It was nowhere close.
(It was nowhere close.)
- "It was nowhere close." - "It was nowhere close."
He said that often.
You had a similar voice tone too.
Gamst, you are well-known for the "Control Tower Dance".
- That's right. - How does it go?
I had to come up with a unique reaction.
One day, I turned on a song...
and the lyrics sounded like it was singing,
"Control tower router".
I just danced to it...
and people said that it was funny.
That's how it became popular.
I wonder how it looks.
- Please show us the dance. - Okay.
Please turn on the song that goes, "Control tower router".
Let's hear what it actually says.
He makes this face too.
(Control tower router)
It really sounds like it.
(Thumping)
It's nice.
- Look at his facial expression. - It's funny.
(Fascinated)
(Come this way.)
That's the dance.
(He gives the dance a strong finale.)
You must have lived on the first floor.
Yes.
You can't do that if you live on the second floor.
We have seen a couple of Gamst's specialties.
In overall, there is no structure.
- He just pushes them onto us. - Yes.
You are sweating a lot.
Is it a dance you show when someone scores a goal?
- My goodness. - Take your time.
Will you be okay until the World Cup begins?
Since Gamst scored two goals,
- we should let him rest. - Okay.
When his fans give him a gift during the live streaming,
- he shows the dance as a thank you. - I see.
- The star balloons. - Yes.
At the K League stadium,
Moon Seon Min...
scored a goal and did this dance.
They made each other popular.
(It's a goal.)
(Control Tower Dance)
It's similar to a Russian dance.
That's right.
It might go well with the Russian World Cup.
- He sits down and stands up. - He sits down and stands up.
- And... - You will get strong legs.
(You will get strong legs.)
About the upcoming matches, Jung Hwan said,
"Ki Sung Yueng must make the process..."
"and Son Heung Min must make the solution."
"Ki Sung Yueng must make the process..."
"and Son Heung Min must make the solution."
Yes, also ending it well.
Why did you translate the words to English?
Is there a foreigner in here?
It's not like that.
Will this show air on Netflix?
(He makes fun of Gu Ra.)
Come on.
You didn't translate English words to Korean.
I wondered if I had to answer in English.
I was joking.
Ki Sung Yueng should pace the game.
That's right. He should balance the team...
and Son Heung Min should provide the solution.
There is a heavy burden on their shoulders.
It's their fate to carry that burden.
I hope they would show what they can do.
I have high hopes...
- for Park Joo Ho. - Yes.
When he was with FC Basel,
Park Ji Sung was with Manchester United.
Back then,
FC Basel beat Manchester United at the Champions League.
- FC Basel did? - Park Joo Ho did a good job then.
- Park Joo Ho. - Park Joo Ho.
The national team has problems now with the midfielder and defense.
"Who will be Ki Sung Yueng's partner?"
It's something many have been contemplating over years.
I think Park Joo Ho will fill in that position nicely.
That's why I think he has an important role to play.
Gamst, which soccer player are you paying attention to?
My nickname is Gam-Pele.
- Pele. - There is the Pele's Curse.
He is bad with predictions.
I said that...
Kim Min Jae will probably score a goal first.
- The next day... - He got injured.
- Don't ask him a question. - Don't ask anything.
You should watch what you say.
But I will speak my mind.
- Okay. - Okay.
I think Sweden will do well.
I think Mexico will do well, too.
- I think they will do a great job. - He is putting a curse.
Your words have the opposite effect.
Yes, Germany will also do well.
- They will do well. - Mexico will do well, too.
That's right.
It will be a disaster if Sweden really does well.
(It will be a disaster.)
Jung Keun, you said that...
you saw the future of the upcoming World Cup...
in the head coach, not Shin Tae Yong.
(Not in Shin Tae Yong, but in the coach?)
- Shin Tae Yong? - In the beginning of the year,
when Shin Tae Yong became the national team's new coach...
he suffered many attacks.
Then the head coach...
became the man who helped Spain win the 2010 World Cup.
(Toni Grande)
I think the team will improve in a short amount of time.
The coaching staff is...
The coaching staff is very important, right?
- It's very important. - That's right.
The coaching staff...
stays closer to the players.
Wouldn't Shin Tae Yong be lonely?
- Shin Tae Yong? - Yes.
He isn't the type to get lonely.
He has a strong mind. A very strong mind.
He is cheerful.
If Kim Nam Il and Cha Du Ri don't do well as coaches,
you will hit them with a stick?
- You said that, Jung Hwan. - Really?
You said you will hit them with a stick.
I will scold them.
I have worked with Du Ri and Nam Il for many years.
If they don't do well, I will scold them.
It has been a while since they took a stress position.
It has been a while.
When you were a soccer player, did you beat people with a stick?
No, I didn't.
I beat them with my words.
(He beats people with his words.)
Since you are close to Kim Nam Il and Cha Du Ri,
why don't you send them a video message?
- A video message? - Yes.
- Don't pressure them too much. - The World Cup...
I have to pressure them.
Since they aren't playing, I have to pressure them.
It's okay to pressure the coaches.
If the national team doesn't do well this time,
you will have to take a big part of the blame.
I might go and turn things upside down,
so do a good job.
(Laughing)
- Let's go. - It sounds like...
you are close to Kim Nam Il and Cha Du Ri.
Yes. We often used the same room.
They are the ones you would hang out with.
That's correct.
(Gu Ra is right.)
- You can just tell. - Yes. It seems so to me.
Those who know how to have fun play soccer well too.
(The 2002 World Cup squad members are still on good terms.)
Then you must be close friends with Lee Chun Soo.
He's too much.
I see.
Which do you think...
is the most important match in the 2018 World Cup?
I'm curious.
I think the match against Sweden,
- which is the first match... - I see.
is the most important match.
I talked about it with the other guests before.
If the Korean team can't win any points in the first match,
- Right. - the World Cup craze will die down.
- It will definitely die down. - That's why it's important.
- Do you agree with him? - It's crucial for the Korean team.
Our team has never done well after losing the first match.
All three of you think the match against Sweden is the most crucial?
But we shouldn't overlook the match against Mexico.
Mexico is also a strong team.
In my opinion, the match against Sweden is important,
but the most crucial game...
is the match against Germany.
- The match against Germany? - Everyone thinks Korea will lose.
It seems to me that people have no expectations of that match.
- I think... - It's hard to beat Germany.
we should cheer for both Korea and Germany.
I don't think Korea was unlucky to be in this group.
When Korea and Japan were the only teams left...
- at the group draw, - Right.
- only Group F and H were left. - Yes.
Everyone was jealous when Japan got the last spot in Group H.
But I have a different opinion.
If Germany beats the other two teams,
- That's right. - we can just focus on two matches.
Meanwhile, the teams in Group H are on a similar level,
- so every game will be intense. - I see.
If you look at World Cup history,
Germany beat Brazil 7 to 1 at the previous World Cup.
They scored incredible goals.
However, the team beat Korea by only one point.
It's true that Germany is a strong team,
but just as Gamst said,
- It's an important match. - we have a chance to win.
And there's a jinx of a winning country not winning after that.
In 2010, Spain...
won the World Cup with their Tiki Taka method.
But the team was defeated by Holland in their first match...
- at the 2014 World Cup... - That's right. They lost.
- by 1 to 5. - My goodness.
Germany could also be affected by this jinx.
- You're cursing the team. - I...
- I don't care what others think. - I see.
- You should keep up like that. - Right.
Germany is an incredible team,
- but we shouldn't be discouraged. - That's right.
- I understand. - This is the hardest question.
Jung Hwan. Do you think Korea will make it to the round of 16?
You have to answer this question.
- I think... - Although it's a hard question.
- we have a 50 percent chance. - A 50 percent chance?
The 23 players...
- have to... - That's not an honest answer.
Actually, that's my honest answer.
- I think it's 50 to 50. - Right.
It's important how much the players trust each other...
as they play as a team in the games.
The more they trust each other,
- the better chance they have. - The three of you...
have to build teamwork at the warm up match.
- We'll give a commentary. - I see.
What about you, Gamst?
I'm preparing all by myself. It's okay.
- Gamst will do it alone. - Yes.
Will you broadcast at home in Gwangju?
- I have moved to Seoul. - Where in Seoul?
I've never told this before. I moved to Hongdae.
- I see. - So many people live in Hongdae.
It's big news to his fans.
- He has a lot of fans. - That's right.
- They might gather up there. - He can't tell where he lives.
- Gamst lives in Hongdae now. - Yes.
Jung Hwan, since you used to be a soccer player,
it must have been hard for you to get used to variety shows, right?
- Variety shows are really hard. - He appeared on a lot of them.
Basically, I don't have enough energy to do it.
- I realized... - It requires a lot of energy.
Exactly. I realized it's different from playing a soccer game.
When you play soccer, you just have to...
concentrate for about two hours in total.
When I record a variety show, I can concentrate for two hours.
But after that, I can't do anything.
It seems that you host many physically challenging shows.
- Such as "Guided Adventure"... - I host many outdoor programs.
- and "Chef and My Fridge". - Yes.
- It's not easy. - It takes 6 or 7 hours to record.
- It takes about 12 hours. - 12 hours?
- I do many shows like this. - To record one episode?
- No, 2 episodes. - Of course they record 2 episodes.
- I... - Think about the number of fridges.
They don't just look at the fridges.
I hope you host a less challenging shows in the future.
I wish I could host a show like this that's filmed in a studio.
I mean, this is... This is such a good show for the hosts.
- There are some shows like this. - Right.
When I record a comfortable show,
I think to myself, "Should I say that I'll receive 500 dollars less?"
I even think of that.
- You feel bad, right? - Yes.
I always feel bad.
I often ask staff members,
- "Are you craving anything?" - You treat them to a meal.
Becoming a coach is your goal and dream, right?
It wasn't my goal at first, but people around me...
like Hong Myung Bo, Choi Yong Soo, and Hwang Sun Hong...
told me not to leave the soccer industry.
They said I should be back.
People think I retired a long time ago, but it's been only five years.
They must think like that because I gained a lot of weight.
I tried to get soccer coaching license after I retired.
This is what differentiates me...
from Park Ji Sung and Lee Young Pyo.
I've been working hard to be qualified to become a coach.
I took the exam and passed it.
- I got the coaching license. - What does Level P mean?
- Level P? - It's the final course.
- It's a yearlong course. - It's the highest level.
Does it make you qualified to coach a certain team?
You can be a coach of any team in any countries.
- If you have Level P license? - Yes.
- Korean national team too? - You need Level P license.
Is there any team you want to coach?
There isn't any particular team I want to coach. However,
there hasn't been any Korean coach...
who coached a European soccer team.
- No one has done it yet. - If I become a coach,
I want to coach a European team. I don't think...
it's impossible.
Considering the public images of you and Young Pyo,
it feels like he has the license, and you don't.
You two have that kind of public image.
- But he doesn't have the license. - Right.
- You know his public image, right? - Yes.
He sounds really smart when he gives a commentary.
But Jung Hwan is the one who has coaching license.
It feels like Young Pyo is studying right now.
That's not good.
Why do you think Young Pyo is not trying to get coaching license?
- Does he have no intention? - Lee Young Pyo and Park Ji Sung...
have no intention of becoming a coach, as far as I know.
- I mean, at the present time. - An administrator.
They want to become an administrator.
Hyung Wook, a soccer journalist,
was harshly criticized for his news article about Guus Hiddink.
Back then, Guus Hiddink's spokesperson in Korea said...
that Coach Hiddink was willing to coach the Korean team...
even if he wouldn't be paid in an interview.
However, I have some friends in Holland.
I heard that Guus Hiddink had already retired before then.
Therefore, I wrote that there was little possibility of him...
coaching the Korean team in my news article.
Some said, "Are you the Korea Football Association's dog or what?"
I got so many comments like this. I still get harsh comments...
whenever I write a news article.
I got stressed out a lot for a while.
I hope they know that I didn't mean it like that.
- Did Guus Hiddink... - You went through a hard time.
- retire? - He didn't make it official.
But he's quite old now.
- A coach needs physical strength... - Of course.
as much as soccer players do.
- For many reasons... - They do goal celebrations too.
That's right.
- Guus Hiddink is very... - Foreign soccer coaches...
usually wear a suit, and they look fabulous.
- Jung Hwan would look great too. - Exactly.
Imagine him in a suit on the field.
- I... - You should lose weight though.
- I'll lose weight naturally. - That's true.
- I should lose weight before then. - When the team loses,
the coach loses weight.
Just like... Is he the coach of Liverpool?
- Jurgen Klopp. - Yes, he is.
If Jung Hwan performs goal celebrations like he does,
- he'll look fabulous. - You see, Tae Hyun...
watches all the variety shows and soccer games.
He also watches all the dramas.
- He watches TV too much. - Do you not sleep at night?
Gamst received a lot of compliments from the director...
of MBC sports department, but he's not used to it.
It was overwhelming for me. He complimented me a lot.
How does your girlfriend compliment you?
I don't have a girlfriend.
You seem shy. You must have a crush on someone.
Pardon? Well... I... Yes.
- Do you have a crush on someone? - It's obvious.
- Is she famous? - Say something to her.
Well... Okay.
Gosh. I... Actually, I haven't told her about my feelings.
Really? Is this your first time?
- There's a rumor among his fans. - Is that so?
- It's okay. You can tell us. - That's great.
So she doesn't know you like her?
- Does she not know? - I'm sure she doesn't.
She might know that. Say something to her.
Okay. I...
Why don't you make a video letter for her?
- Will this be aired? - Of course.
Yes. I like you.
- I've never seen a guest like him. - He's innocent.
He's innocent.
He has a pure heart.
Do you think she would know that you said to her?
Would she never know?
- Would she not know? - I bet she has no idea.
- Could she be famous? - Tell us her initial.
Well... She... I'll just... She'll know eventually.
Is she your landlady?
No, she's not. I can tell you that.
- She's not my landlady. - Gosh.
(She became more of a mystery.)
Jung Keun tasted the bitterness of life...
while looking after his child after becoming a freelancer.
I didn't expect much when I quit my job at the broadcasting company.
I didn't host many variety shows,
- nor am I funny. - That's true.
I'm kind of boring as an announcer.
But I was sure I would be needed for some shows like cooked rice.
- I had this vague thought. - That's vague optimism.
It was such a vague thought.
- When I became a freelancer... - They're all like rice, right?
- Exactly. - So many are like rice, right?
- I saw so many talented people. - I understand.
- I didn't see him on TV a lot. - Me neither.
So I took charge of looking after my child at first.
I spent the whole day with her, and she wouldn't stop crying.
I tried everything I could think of. I ended up getting shingles.
- I heard that. - Really?
You were under a lot of stress.
- You went through a hard time. - I hope he'll become successful.
- He needs to make it a success. - You should...
I'll work even harder for you, Jung Keun.
- You should work hard. - Of course.
- I'll make a lot of effort. - It breaks my heart.
Why don't you do the impressions you practiced at Han River?
- Right now? - Yes.
I practiced a lot, but I couldn't improve my skill at all.
- Whom can you imitate? - In the interview with the writer,
I was asked if I can imitate Lee Sun Kyun just like everyone.
- He has a similar voice. - Lee Sun Kyun?
- Anyone can imitate him. - That's right.
In "A Hard Day", there's a scene where Sun Kyun...
is being chased. He talks on the phone...
- while driving. - That's right.
I'll try to immerse myself in that emotion and imitate him.
(Warming up his voice)
- I need to warm up my voice. - Okay.
- Lee Sun Kyun. - I hope I do this well.
- You'll imitate Sun Kyun. - Yes.
"I don't care if you call the police or do something meaningless."
"Do whatever you want."
"But you'll never find it. You know why?"
"It's because it never happened, you jerk!"
- That was good. - Thanks.
- You should do things like that. - Was it okay?
You swore as soon as you returned to MBC.
- I got excited. - What an emotion.
- Active announcers rarely swear. - Right.
Jung Keun, I think you should do...
something like Gamst's dance on TV shows.
It's funny.
Plus, no one has imitated Gamst.
When I heard he would be here,
I knew he would dance, so I thought of taking advantage of it.
I watched his dance called "The Fast-Forward Dance".
- When my baby was asleep... - Okay.
- I practiced the dance alone. - Did you practice it?
But I woke the baby up.
My wife scolded me.
When she scolds me,
she tends to speak in a certain tone.
So, she was angry. She opened the door and said,
"Mr. Kim Jung Keun, do you know what time it is now?"
(She spoke in a business-like manner.)
My goodness.
- That's scary. - Whenever she speaks like that,
I come back to my senses...
even in the middle of a crazy dance. As if I committed a serious crime.
Then I'd say, "I didn't know it was past midnight", and turn it down.
I heard this from someone. Before he became a freelancer,
his wife tried to stop him.
- But he quit his job anyway. - She told me not to do it.
Usually, one person stays at a broadcasting company.
- Most announcer couples do that. - That's true.
- At least one of them should stay. - Right.
Did you two promise to do so when you got married?
- We... - That one of you would stay.
We didn't make a promise.
When both of us were freelancers, it was so nice.
I had time to look after our child,
clean the house, and spend more time with her. It was nice.
However, she seemed happy after I returned to the company.
(She seemed happy after I returned to the company.)
So, I practiced Gamst's dance.
- Ji Ae... - Let's...
- see him dance. - The fast-forward dance.
I'm too embarrassed to dance alone.
Can I dance with Gamst?
- Sure. - Okay. I'll dance with him.
- MBC found a treasure. - He can dance with you.
He's working like a freelancer when he's a full-timer.
(He's like a diamond that has been refined in the wild.)
The fast-forward dance.
- Gamst's fast-forward dance. - His facial expressions are funny.
Here we go.
(Excited)
(Passionate)
He practiced a lot.
Faster. Faster.
(Jung Keun,)
(you had a hard time practicing and being scolded at.)
(Was it tough being a freelancer?)
Why am I doing this?
(He came to his senses.)
(He's still dancing passionately.)
I can see why Ji Ae got angry.
"Mr. Kim Jung Keun, do you know what time it is now?"
(I have my eyes on you.)
Gamst, who created this dance, just danced with Jung Keun.
However, he tried too hard because he wanted to be funny too.
- He should've help Jung Keun shine. - He should have.
He danced so enthusiastically, that Jung Keun didn't stand out.
(Gu Ra got them both with his straightforward comment.)
The reason why Gamst swears a lot...
while broadcasting a soccer game...
- was because of his father. - Yes, I was inspired by him.
I'm not sure if I can swear on TV.
"Gosh. That little... I mean, they're..."
"I bet all they do is play soccer. Those..."
My father would talk like this.
- People do that at home. - That's understandable.
I did the same on my internet show.
- You got a good review. - The viewers loved it.
I believe I wouldn't have made it this far without my father.
- My father is a public servant. - I see.
He acts differently when he watches soccer games or period dramas.
- Period dramas? - Why?
He watched an old drama from KBS...
- called "Taejo Wang Geon". - I know that drama.
Whenever he watched it,
he acted like Wang Geon after the show.
"Go to your room!"
(His father transformed into the character.)
"Go to your room!"
"Go to your room and study!"
- He speaks like the character. - He got immersed in the drama.
I said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
He said, "Go to your room, you brat!"
It was as if he was Wang Geon.
- He was immersed in the drama. - Yes.
- It's the same for soccer games. - In which sector does he work?
The National Health Insurance Corporation.
(He must be passionate about his job as well.)
- I see. - Dad,
I'm on TV.
- It seems that his family... - He's from a good family.
- They have no worries. - Exactly.
- He grew up in a good family. - He'll receive a lot of pension.
- My mother also... - He earns a lot of money too.
My mother is an expert in traditional Korean architecture.
- Such as Gyeongbokgung Palace. - Like traditional houses.
- Architecture? - The architecture association.
My mother worried about me a lot.
When she first watched my show, she said,
"Listen, In Jik. I..."
"I was so surprised."
"I felt like my heart dropped. Why would you do such a thing?"
- She would've said that as a mom. - I told her not to worry...
- because it's not a weird show. - Right.
I also said I was making money by doing it.
And then I transferred 6,000 dollars to her bank account.
She said, "I didn't mean it like that."
(Her tone changed subtly.)
Mothers change their minds when they receive money.
She asked me if I wanted some herbal medicine,
and I got some herbal medicine.
(He received herbal medicine unexpectedly.)
A lot of new jobs related to internet contents are being created.
Your mother must keep searching you on the internet...
- while worrying about you. - I know.
Mothers always care about the results only.
- All mothers are the same. - Right.
They're happy when their children become successful.
(They all wish their children to become successful.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who want to cheer...
the national soccer team.
"The Song To Sing Together When Cheering".
Four years ago, the broadcasting team sang "Kick It" together here,
but that part was edited out.
- So today, they will sing... - Again?
- "Kick It". - The same song?
They will try it once again.
The MBC World Cup broadcasting team will sing "Kick It".
- Shall we hear them sing? - All right.
- Are we starting now? - Yes.
("Kick It" sung by Seo Hyung Wook, Kim Jung Keun, Gamst, Ahn Jung Hwan)
Mi Na is on the screen.
Gosh. You're working hard.
Shouldn't we dance?
(Shouldn't we dance to avoid being edited out?)
- That's good. - Go Jung Keun.
Jung Keun and Gamst are dancing.
(Kick it, kick it)
(The festival begins.)
(Jung Hwan is a bit embarrassed.)
(He mixed up the words "champion" and "World Cup".)
(The entire world is watching, let's begin the global festival)
(Chaos)
(I can't see the lyrics.)
(I don't know the lyrics, but...)
(He's excited.)
Jung Keun is excited.
(So...)
(they'll have to try it again four years later.)
Only MBC accepts things like this.
- Right? - I'm so grateful.
Everything is acceptable here.
(We hope you won't be edited out next time.)
Today's theme was "Kick It with Your Feet, Speak with Your Mouths".
Please say something to the viewers...
who will be watching the 2018 World Cup games.
- Let's start with Gamst. - Okay.
I hope we can enjoy the World Cup together.
And please keep loving me.
I will be rooting for the Korean national team players.
- Gamst. - Yes.
If Korea makes it to the round of 16,
you confess your love to your crush.
- Okay. I'll do that. - Good.
(Let's see him confess his love on his show!)
Everyone, please cheer for us, the MBC World Cup broadcasting team,
and the Korean national team players during the 2018 World Cup.
- I'll do my best. - That's nice, Jung Keun.
- Hyung Wook. - Okay.
Thanks to the World Cup, I got a chance to be on a variety show.
It makes me think that I really made it.
Just as I made it in life,
hopefully, the national team will also do well at the World Cup.
At those victorious moments,
Gamst, Jung Keun, Jung Hwan, and I...
will deliver the good news to all. I hope for good games.
I hope Korea will turn the world upside down at the World Cup.
And we prepared a lot for this event as well,
so we'd appreciate it if you could root for us.
- A come-from-behind win? - Of course.
The World Cup broadcasting team comes on this show every four years.
I wonder who will come here four years from now.
I hope you guys and the soccer team will do well,
so we can meet you here again four years later.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
