(Team Korea beat the world's number one team.)
(They are on Radio Star.)
(Jo Hyeon Woo, the star of 2018 World Cup)
(Every camera was on him!)
(Kim Young Gwon, the first goal scorer of the game against Germany)
(He's aiming to make people laugh this time!)
(Lee Yong put his life and all on World Cup.)
(Deeply sighing)
(Lee Seung Woo, the youngest of the team)
(His counterattack begins!)
("Let's Meet Again in 4 Years")
(It begins now!)
We would love to be here on every Wednesday in 4 years as well.
We are a high-end and future-oriented program,
- Radio Star! - Radio Star!
We invited four people that make us look forward to the next World Cup.
"Let's Meet Again in Four Years" begins!
I'm glad it's a happy ending. It could have been a mess.
Well, let me introduce this guy.
Nobody knew who he was before this year's World Cup.
I know, right?
But he became the Man of the Match.
He holds the nation's pride with his two hands.
The national team's goalkeeper, Jo Hyeon Woo.
(Jo Hyeon Woo)
Jo Hyeon Woo.
The biggest twist of 2018 Russia World Cup!
The first asian country who beat Germany in World Cup history!
- It could've been gone bad. - We are the only asian country...
- who've beat the top 5. - Germany's the 1st.
- We are the only one. - That's right.
The first goal scorer of the game agains Germany is here.
He's finally showing his amazing ability after nine years being in...
the national team. Kim Young Gwon!
- That's right. - Finally!
- It's been nine years. - Nine years.
He's the oldest player of the national team.
He's the center back.
He defended here and there.
At the end, he even defended with his important part.
The victory started from...
the important part of his body.
- Lee Yong! - Right.
(Lee Yong)
He just became 21.
His future is bright. He's the youngest of the team.
With his creative skills, he's always looking for trouble.
He's Messi of Korea. Lee Seung Woo!
- Please come in. - Welcome!
It was really difficult to invite them.
But we quickly made our move.
- Hi! - Thanks for coming.
- Congratulations! - Hi!
- Well done. - You guys did a great job.
They are really good-looking people.
I know, right?
Looks like they got the same suit from the sponsor.
Oh, really?
Please say hello to our viewers, Jo Hyeon Woo.
Hi.
I'm called De Gea of Korea. This is Jo Hyeon Woo.
- De Gea! - There you go!
(Welcoming him passionately)
It's your turn, Kim Young Gwon.
Hi.
I was once the player-to-be-blamed.
- That's true. - Oh, well...
But I came back as the nation's hero.
- I'm Kim Young Gwon. - You did the great job.
He's been blamed a lot.
Please say hello to our viewers, Lee Yong.
Hi, my name is Lee Yong.
I did everything I could do for this year's World Cup.
Everyone's talking about him. Especially women...
(He's as handsome as an actor.)
Lee Seung Woo, it's your turn.
Hi. I'm the entertainer of the national team.
I'll try my best to be one on Radio Star as well.
- Great. - Welcome.
I'm sorry to say this,
but you sound like Lee Chun Soo.
(He's like Lee Chun Soo.)
Let's see how it goes.
Chun Soo?
I can feel the similar vibe.
Just try to learn the positive side of him.
You don't like to hear you're like him, do you?
Chun Soo likes me.
He says my style of playing soccer...
- is similar to him. - Really?
He told me to keep in touch.
- It's not that easy though. - I do it sometimes.
Well, he's a lot older than Seung Woo.
It's been five days since you got back in Korea, and now you are here.
What have you guys been doing for five days?
- I was just resting. - Of course.
I was also on the news. They invited me.
Didn't you watch a lot of your highlight videos?
Yes, I did.
I watched a lot of it in Russia.
"Did I do that well?"
"Is that really me?"
- What about you, Young Gwon? - I...
I spent time with my family.
- I went to see my parents too. - I see.
- I had some good food. - That's nice.
What about you, Yong?
I rested for two days.
But K League games has started from last weekend.
- K League! - Yes.
Aren't you still jetlagged?
I haven't slept well because of that.
Is your important part okay?
It's not going to be easy.
It's totally fine.
When you get hit that part, it kind of rumbles.
Your whole body can feel it.
- It trembles. - That's right.
- It feels like electricity. - When I get hit by a ball,
my friends hit my hips with their feet.
They say it makes you feel better.
Wearing the guard doesn't help you that much, right?
- We don't really wear one. - Really?
- They don't. - Soccer players bear with the pain.
- Why would they wear it? - I thought they do.
Oh, that's for catchers of baseball.
How would they run around wearing guards?
(How is that possible for soccer players?)
What did you do, Seung Woo?
I spent time with family too.
I'm adjusting to the time difference.
Don't you need to go back to your team?
Well, since there is...
the Asian Game in August.
So I'm thinking to stay in Korea and rest until then.
I heard you went clubbing, Seung Woo.
It's okay to tell us.
(You're caught!)
I can really feel Chun Soo from him!
I can smell it a lot.
- He has that vibe. - I know, right?
I'm still a bit jetlagged.
- He needs clubbing. - Because he can't sleep.
I mean, the production staff told us he went clubbing.
- I thought it meant... - I...
- a soccer club. - I thought the same.
- That's what I thought too. - I thought it was about soccer.
- Me too. - I know, right?
Did clubbing help a lot?
- Yes, it did. - By the way,
I could be there until 2am and went to home to sleep.
- I thought he meant K League. - Being jetlagged...
Clubbing is the best option to adjust to the time difference.
(That's right. Clubbing is the best cure.)
Hyeon Woo, I heard you got...
cast in over than 20 commercials.
- That's amazing. - I can think of...
the script already.
"I'm going to block the heat!"
"I'm going to block the cold!"
I can see it already.
Isn't that too old-fashioned?
I heard a lot of them are about hair products and cosmetics.
- I can imagine that. - Hair products...
and BB creams, I heard.
They are very interested in me.
I'm still not sure about it. I need to discuss that with my company too.
Considering you are outside all the time,
your skin looks really great.
- It's really soft and fair. - My skin has always been this way.
It almost looks like you are not a soccer player.
I'm always like this.
Why are you making that face, Seung Woo?
That means he hasn't worked hard.
- So he shouldn't be this way. - Really?
- He didn't work hard enough. - No.
Because everyone's tanned.
He's almost like a white man.
Do goalkeepers train seperately...
When everyone's training on the ground?
- Yes. - I'm somewhere else.
I heard the training for goalkeepers is really difficult.
They keep falling over during the training.
- That's right. - I see.
In the past in Germany, when goalkeepers were training,
they used birds.
They put birds like this...
and caught it when the birds started to fly.
- What? - Right...
(He's exaggerating something.)
- Can you catch a bird? - Seriously,
there's no way that Germany could use such an unscientific training.
- I'm telling you the truth. - Oh, right...
That's why there is no bird in Germany.
- Because they caught them all. - That's right.
- It's all gone. - He's right.
- Can I believe this? - This is a true story.
- I saw it! - Stop it.
Yong,
I heard you almost couldn't make it to the show...
because of Choi Kang Hee, the manager of your team.
Did he not want you to come?
Because there's a match this Saturday.
- Oh, there's one this weekend. - Yes.
I needed to train for that game too.
So he tried to stop me from joining this show.
But since it's a good chance for me to promote K League,
- he allowed me to join the team. - I heard that's not the reason.
"Yong... He is boring."
(Those are Choi Kang Hee's words.)
You have to be careful with your pronunciation.
Is it, "Yong... He is boring",
or "Yong is extremely boring"?
You really need to say it right.
- It could mean either way. - Really?
Goodness.
He was worried about Yong being boring.
It's difficult for soccer players...
to be funny. It's not that...
- Chun Soo is funny. - He is just...
He has already crossed the line.
(He's over the line.)
How's Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor FC doing these days?
We are currently at the top of the ranking of K League.
- Really? - That's amazing.
We need to care more about K League.
Young Gwon, in Russia, you doubted about getting invited to Radio Star.
When I first heard about it in Russia...
Did you get that invitation when you were in Russia?
- We needed to move quickly. - That's amazing.
- Before the game with Germany? - Other stations were...
really surprised when they found out.
They even asked how we cast them.
- It's really difficult. - It's surely not easy.
- Every variety show wanted them. - They are not easy to invite.
I thought I became a star...
at some radio shows.
Oh, he didn't know about Radio Star.
I thought I was invited to many radio programs.
- Oh, I see. - I thought I became the star...
- of radio stations. - As a guest?
He's not good at understanding words.
What's that even?
That's why he was surprised.
You thought radio stations were eager to invite you.
That's what I thought.
"Kang Seok's 'Smiling Show' is looking for you."
- That's what you thought. - I see.
And I found out it's Radio Star.
By the way,
Young Gwon convinced Hyeon Woo to be here...
as if he's the production member.
"You have to be there as the main character."
"It'll be easier for you to become a big player."
Young Gwon knows us well.
That's good.
I asked him if he's going to be here.
And he said, "I don't think I should be there."
So I asked him why.
And he was like, "We have to end it here..."
"when we are in a good situation."
He knows the show business.
He's really trying to put up his price.
So...
Hyeon Woo felt a bit uncomfortable...
because Young Gwon acted friendly to him all of a sudden.
- He called me. - "Why is he being like this to me?"
We talked to each other oh the phone when we got back to Korea too.
It was a bit uncomfortable for me.
Because we haven't talked to each other much.
I haven't seen them talking to each other either.
- Really? - It's...
- So how did you convince him? - It's not like that.
So I said, "Tell me if you are going to do it or not."
"Tell me now. If you lie, I'm going to kill you in Korea."
(The carrot and the stick method)
He really put the pressure on Hyeon Woo.
But you can talk about yourselves when you are here.
- Don't you think it's fun? - It's fun.
It's a good experience.
It's not easy for us to experience something like this.
On the ground, I thought Young Gwon and Hyeon Woo...
were really close to each other.
Didn't you guys talk to each other a lot during the game?
- We do. - We did during the games.
But normally, we don't...
I don't think you guys get along together.
(They don't get along together.)
- We ate separately. - That's...
(They didn't eat together either.)
Seung Woo, you thought Hyeon Woo is not an innocent guy...
when you found out he decided to be on Radio Star.
I've felt that a lot lately.
- He's like a sniper. - Hyeon Woo...
suddenly said,
"Seung Woo, are you going to be on Radio Star?"
So I said, "Are you?"
And he said, "I'm not. I don't think..."
"I should do that."
He was even like, "I shouldn't be too excited about my fame."
So I thought he wasn't going to be here.
But it was maybe a day or two ago...
I saw the news saying, "Jo Hyeon Woo is going to be on Radio Star!"
- Was it an article? - Yes.
He's not as innocent as I thought!
Seung Woo and Heung Min gave me a hard time about that.
They said that I was two-faced.
- Really? - Yes.
- As soon as he returned to Korea, - They said that.
He was on all of the major TV stations, but he said he wouldn't.
He falls in the same category with Seo Jang Hoon.
He changed.
Whenever I turned on the TV, I saw Hyeon Woo and Young Gwon.
(He did well at the 3 TV stations.)
- You're similar to Jang Hoon. - Since I was already there,
I filmed the shows.
You are watching a high-end music program,
Radio Star with four of the Russia World Cup's stars...
that earned the ultimate protection from all criticism.
Today's special is called "Let's Meet Again in Four Years".
Let us begin.
Hyeon Woo blocked near-impossible shots at every match.
Out of 16 valid shootings during the World Cup,
he blocked 13 of those.
But those three goals were...
from the penalty kicks during Mexico and Sweden matches.
- They count them as valid. - Of course.
- Of course. - Penalty kicks.
I heard that your method of blocking is your imagination.
- Yes, I always... - Just like professional golfers.
Have to be prepared...
- Okay. - and predict the shots.
With the intention that I will block the shots,
- I prepare myself. Right. - That's the image training.
Excuse me. This is a question for other players.
In this World Cup,
he blocked 13 shots out of 16.
Is he usually this good?
Or did he get lucky?
- "What's going on with him?" - Be honest. Were you surprised?
- "What's up with him?" - Was this out of the norm?
"Gosh, he's not that good."
- Which one is it? - He was...
- I'm curious. - After observing Hyeon Woo...
- He's good. He's definitely good. - That's right.
- I saw all of the videos. - Okay.
I saw the videos from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round.
The ball was kicked in a way that he could block it and look cool.
- It was doable. - It was possible to block it.
He could make it look cool too.
- Good enough for him to jump over. - That good?
- That's where the ball headed. - Could...
- his hands reach? - 13 shots went that way.
Do you agree with this?
You agree with him?
He and I both play in K League.
He's a good player in his team,
but he lets others score a lot.
But I block just as much.
- Of course. He can block as well. - I lose points too.
It might happen when the defense is weak.
When his team plays against us, we score about two goals on average.
(Being playful)
But he's good at blocking the shots.
This is the case when his team goes against our team.
- Jeonbuk is the best team. - That's what it is.
With other teams,
- he blocks a lot of their shots. - He blocks the shots.
- He's the breadwinner of Daegu FC. - He transferred to another team.
Everyone is in Daegu FC.
You raised its status into a higher tier.
- Yes. - You did that?
- There are K1 and K2 Leagues. - That's right.
- Really? - We went down to K2,
but we moved up to K1.
It seemed like you were the starting goalie.
Who else is in your team?
- There's none. - No, there's Kim Seung Gyu.
- There's none? - In my team, there's none.
- No, no. - You're the only goalie?
- In the national team. - In the national team.
- Kim Seung Gyu. - Kim Seung Gyu.
- He doesn't get it either. - He's just like Yong.
- We meant in the national team. - How could you be the only one?
He's getting embarrassed right now.
- And Kim Jin Hyeon. - He became self-center now.
(He became self-centered now.)
The TV ratings when Young Gwon...
scored the first goal during the Korea and Germany match were...
54.1 percent. That's the accumulated number.
That's an accomplishment.
More than half of Korea watched him play.
It's safe to say everyone watched it.
- Every adult watched it. - That's right.
I couldn't watch it.
- He can't be a Korean. - I went to bed.
I'm sorry, but I was sleeping by then.
Everyone except for 3 or 4-year olds watched him play.
- Add Gu Ra on the list. - I went to sleep when they did.
(This is the clip everyone except for Gu Ra had watched.)
(It was Heung Min's corner kick during the second half.)
(This is Young Gwon.)
(Young Gwon, who was right in front of the goalpost, scored the goal.)
You said that it was the most meaningful goal in the World Cup.
- He said that himself. - You made your own evaluation.
- Tell us the meaning of the goal. - That's true though.
- First of all, I hit a rough patch. - That's right.
I was struggling.
Korea didn't get to advance in Brazil World Cup either.
Actually, even the day before the match with Sweden,
people were criticizing me.
When the articles were uploaded,
people said I shouldn't play.
That's what they said.
After the match with Sweden, people started to acknowledge me.
I played with the thought that this was my last match.
I was given with a great chance...
- and managed to score a goal. - I agree.
Jang Hyun Soo is doing okay now, right?
- He is... - No, he's okay. He got better.
- He's doing better now. - But the thing is...
- He still must be suffering. - Is he still suffering?
Every World Cup, Korean defense soccer players...
have a hard time.
- I agree. - Is that easy with offense players?
- They must compete with... - That's right.
The best offense players in the world, so It is a hard task.
When I watched the games,
they played the clips on slow motion after they scored.
It looked like you didn't expect the ball to make the way to you.
Really, I was...
- The ball came all the way to you. - Right.
They were internationally-recognized players.
"Why is there a ball on my foot?"
- I couldn't see it. - I bet.
They were going at it in the front.
I was trying to figure out what was going on in the back.
I started to see the ball when it was 2m away from me.
Exactly.
I wondered what I should do. I thought I caught a lucky break.
- I thought about kicking it then... - Or kick it after holding it?
- Right. - or kick after holding it first.
- To kick right away or not. - Right.
I gave a lot of though.
- At that moment? - During that millisecond?
I thought that I should calm down first.
- Precisely. - You held onto it first and kicked.
- It went in after hitting Neuer. - Right.
You knew for certain that you weren't in an offside position.
- You knew, right? - I knew that I wasn't in one.
I knew that I wasn't in the position and did the celebratory gestures.
Then I went to the assistant referee.
He was doing this.
(Raising the flag high up)
I wondered if I could punch him here.
If they didn't review the video,
- it wouldn't... - Right, right.
- have counted. - That's true.
- I agree. - It was the offside location.
- The location was correct, - Right.
- It went in after hitting Neuer. - That's exactly it.
- That's why it counted. - You're right.
You think that you probably watched the clip the most in the world.
- I bet. - How many times did you watch?
I think I watched it at least a few hundred times.
He kept replaying it on his phone.
Did you only watch that for 6 or 7 days?
"Kim Young Gwon".
It started from the return flight until I landed in Korea.
Did you save the clip on your phone?
Yes, I downloaded the video.
Good job.
(It's the most valuable.)
- We must mention this about Yong. - I agree.
He didn't spare his important part for the defense.
We prepared this.
(The ball a German player kicked hit his important parts.)
(That's tough. That's tough.)
Gosh, this is...
You are truly amazing. Look at this.
"Lee Yong Trades Two Goals with His Two Body Parts".
- Who's the journalist? - "He Must Be..."
- "a True Korean Soccer Player." - Who wrote this?
He's one heck of a writer.
(What a witty headline.)
He's a great writer.
- Didn't it hurt a lot? - Are you all right now?
Yes, it hurt like crazy.
But when you play soccer,
- defense players experience that. - Of course.
- I'm sure everyone experienced it. - It happens during the free kick.
But among other soccer players,
Toni Kroos' kicks are...
- I see. Toni Kroos. - very powerful.
The ball hit me hard and precisely on the spot.
- That was the hardest kick you got? - Yes.
- The hardest kick you felt? - Among all the soccer matches...
Out of what I had watched so far,
I think this one in this match hit him the hardest. I'm serious.
- Did you only watch those? - No, no.
What happened at that time was...
I saw the ball flying towards me.
I thought if I should dodge or block it.
- It was a matter of seconds. - You blocked it.
I blocked it, but it hurt so much...
because it was too powerful.
Actually, that incident hurt my pride a bit.
The ball didn't burst which I thought would happen.
He's talking nonsense.
Hold on. Yong is funny.
- What was that? - What he said was funny.
- I can't believe him. - That was hilarious.
- My goodness. - I lied down longer because of it.
- When he said the ball burst... - I've never heard that one before.
The ball hasn't burst during the World Cup so far.
(Gosh, my pride.)
- Did urologists really contact you? - Yes, urologist contacted me.
My meme was posted on many of their websites.
Really?
- Are they using the meme? - I didn't know they used that.
- What if it really bursts? - I heard that it was posted.
What if it really bursts in real life?
- That happens. - Yes, indeed.
- What if it bursts or get bent? - If...
- It does burst at times. - If it gets bent?
And it does get bent.
- But the thing is... - Is there a specific situation...
- when it gets bent? - The thing is that...
What happens is that it's not a bone.
- It's like cartilage. - Right.
- That... - Don't use your hands.
(Don't use your hands.)
I heard you got a lot of nicknames because of this.
- Yes. Well... - What are some nicknames?
- Guys call me Ms. Yong. - Okay.
- What? - Ms. Yong.
- Ms. Yong. - Yes.
- He became a woman. - The thing is gone.
They tease that it must be gone since I got hit too hard.
The nicknames are funny.
I see.
- The ladies call me Sister Yong. - Sister Yong.
- Sister Yong. - And...
- another one is LE. - What?
It stands for Lucky Eunuch.
- It's Lucky... - "Lucky Eunuch".
It's because...
When he said that, I thought...
L stood for Lost.
- That's not the case. - It's because...
- Lucky? I see. - LE.
We scored a goal right after I got hit.
I saw online that one of the nicknames was Disappearing Man.
(Lee Yong)
(Lee...)
- I see. - During the preliminary interview,
Seung Woo said that he couldn't watch his highlights...
because the highlights weren't caught on TV this year.
I did think it was a bit disappointing.
(He was switched in at the 27th minute during the 2nd half.)
(He was put in at the 18th minute during the 2nd half.)
That's a bold switch.
(He didn't even get to play in the match with Germany.)
I was sad that I couldn't play in the last match.
I was warming up the most towards the end.
- You were warming up. - I see.
Since I always get to play around the 70th minute,
after 60 minutes,
I run around the field the best I can.
I thought that I would be playing soon in 10 minutes.
I kept looking at the coach.
He kept calling out players.
I asked if he meant me, but he meant the one next to me.
I see.
Soccer fans in Korea actually kept mentioning that...
- Seung Woo should play... - He was pretty good.
More minutes even during the previous matches.
- It was after the one with Sweden. - Right.
- You can let things go here. - I understand...
- That's all you can do. - Seung Woo might be disappointed.
But he was actively involved as a fairy.
The height difference is huge.
- It's the match with Mexico, right? - Right?
This is Diplomatic Fairy, Seung Woo.
- Ki Sung Yueng was angry. - That's Ki Sung Yueng.
- He was about to get into a fight. - Right.
- You stopped him. - Seung Woo stopped him.
Sung Yueng﻿ tackled a player on their team.
And the player got hurt, but the player next to him came over.
- The player kept provoking him. - Okay.
I have to protect Sung Yueng. He's our captain.
I quickly stopped him and said we should get back and play.
Diplomatic Fairy. This one is Massaging Fairy.
You massaged him?
- We were losing by then. - He wouldn't go out.
We didn't have enough time left.
I thought I should massage him, so he could leave.
- Fights would waste time. - Right, right.
Since you can communicate with them, you can talk to them about this.
- "Get out." - "I know it doesn't hurt."
- "Get out now." - "I know it doesn't hurt."
He said to leave right away.
- "I know it doesn't hurt." Right. - "Stop it."
He got up right away.
(Thanks to Massaging Fairy, he gets up after 1 second.)
And he's the Time Fairy. He checked the time a lot.
(When the opposing team kept lying down on the ground, )
(he kept urging the referee to check the time.)
I'm good at that.
- He wants to leave quickly. - "Look at the time."
I do this often.
(World Cup Fairy was involved in many ways.)
- We'll discuss Korea-Germany match. - The match with Germany.
Actually, this is about Hyeon Woo.
We heard that you cried a lot the day before the match.
- The night before the match. - Why?
- I was under a lot of pressure. - Pressure?
The weight of the match was heavy.
Everyone got their own room at the hotel.
Before I went to sleep, I was scared when I thought about the match.
I've never cried that much in my life.
- You cried yourself to sleep? - He was scared.
- He cried in his sleep. - Other players are making gestures.
- He exaggerated. - He was exaggerating.
- I started it. I'll show you. - I embellished the story.
Did you call your wife when you were crying?
She was sleeping with the time difference, so I didn't call her.
I cried by myself and thought about the upcoming match.
- You didn't call her? - It means they're stressed out.
- When it was 2 to 0, - That's a demanding job.
Did you know that Sweden was leading by three?
- We didn't know. - You didn't know it then.
- You thought you may have a chance. - I knew.
- Exactly. - We didn't know.
- You were on the bench. - I was on the bench.
- You knew it was a bust? - I found out it was 3 to 0.
You found out you wouldn't have a chance to advance anyway.
- If we won by two, - We didn't know.
- We could've advanced. - it was likely we'd advance.
It was likely that Mexico would beat Sweden.
I heard that it was 3 to 0 and thought we'd advance,
but I found out Sweden won by three points.
- I thought Mexico would win. - Right.
- That's why we were... - But Mexico was elated.
- It was thanks to us. - We won Germany by two points.
- How could this happen? - What is this?
- They were good. - Right.
Since Hyeon Woo cried the night before,
he might have felt less pressure then.
During the Korea-Germany match,
among the valid shots...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. He blocked 6 shots.
He blocked all of them.
The one in the right corner must be hard to block, right?
Five of those shots were kicked in a manner he could dive and block.
- Do you mean this one? - This one?
- He did well. This one was hard. - He did a good job with this.
- This one was good. - He did well for that one.
The five of those shots were...
easily blocked when he dove.
- He was standing there. - This one?
I saw him standing there.
(Come on.)
How could you block every shot?
Gosh, he was amazing.
We have to talk about Neuer.
- He was the goalie. - He's the best goalie.
He came down past the half-way line. What do you think about that?
(It was 1 to 0 with Korea's lead.)
(Neuer showed up.)
- Neuer came down. - Heung Min.
- Great, great. - Heung Min is on the opposite side.
(Heung Min raced to the goalpost where there was no goalie.)
I'll praise him for his confidence.
- Germany had no choice though. - But...
But I think he might have come down too far.
After the match, memes were circulating online.
There was an interview he did a long time ago.
He said that his dream was becoming a field player.
- That's right. - That meme went viral on Instagram.
Gosh.
Young Gwon was the first player to score in the Korea-Germany match.
You said that you were in good condition after the first half.
- Before we started the match, - Okay.
We said that if we managed to do well in the first half,
- we would have a chance later. - Okay.
We talked among ourselves that we should hang in there until then.
- Okay, okay. - That's what we talked about.
When I saw the players discuss that,
- I was proud. - Okay.
Our national team looked so cool.
I had a feeling that we might win.
I felt that when I was preparing for the second half in the locker room.
I see.
Who's the best at brightening up the mood?
Brightening up the mood?
- Who lifts the spirits? - Did I use a hard word?
Who's the life of the party?
Are we sitting that far away? Or was that complicated?
Why are you making them angry?
- Who brings up the mood? - Who...
- brings up the mood? - Yes, that's it.
- I must've used hard vocabulary. - I don't think he's the one.
Well, it's the captain.
- He's the oldest too. - It's Ki Sung Yueng.
Then who makes the most jokes?
- Isn't it Seung Woo? - Jokes? Sure.
- He's not a starting player. - He cracks jokes.
He makes jokes outside.
- But he understood what I said. - He can't come into the field.
- He's the one with the jokes. - He makes a lot of jokes.
I've never been to the locker room. I was warming up outside.
- I didn't even know what they said. - That's bad.
You must have warmed up all you want.
I never got to go to the next stage.
It says Young Gwon was smitten with German players...
for their manners. What's this about?
After the match, I wanted to trade the uniforms.
- I understand. - They're world-famous players.
- Who's your favorite German player? - There are so many of them.
Right, right. I tried to trading it with Hummels.
When I asked him to trade, he said he'd do it inside since they lost,
- people weren't in a good mood. - Right, right.
I agreed, but actually, I had given up on it...
- because we went around... - He wasn't in a good mood.
The field and said goodbye to the crowd. Then I went inside.
He was waiting for me in front of the locker room.
- My goodness. - What a nice guy.
- That is truly a great gesture. - Even after a shocking defeat?
My gosh, when I saw that,
I realized that he was a world-class player for a reason.
I realized that he had a great personality.
- I felt that. - Did you trade then?
Yes.
All right. The start of the drama in beating Germany...
was the hit in Yong's important part.
That was an amazing hit.
After you got hit, you had to treat it right away.
- You can't massage that part. - Usually...
There's no protocol in treating the part.
- As I said earlier, the bottom... - You need time.
- Slap the bottom. It gets better. - Yes, it's that method.
Is that method medically proven? The method of slapping your bottom?
- But it does get better. - Right.
You are supposed to slap the bottom,
but since it's an international event, and the whole world...
- is watching. - Right.
- But the medical team... - It's a folk remedy though.
Must have felt conscious of that too.
- Players slap the bottom in Korea. - Right.
- Others were watching. - When you look at the video,
I was lying on my side.
He was supposed to hit my bottom, but he hit my thighs.
- He kept his manners. - It might seem disturbing.
But because he hit my thighs, it didn't help at all.
(The shock doesn't go away easily with hitting the thighs.)
Seung Woo, you had never failed in the preliminary rounds,
so you were pretty shocked this time.
Ever since I started playing soccer,
I had never failed to advance.
When I played in tournaments...
We advanced to the round of 16 during the U-17 World Cup.
We also advanced to the round of 16 during the U-20 World Cup.
It was my first World Cup.
We participated in the event, but didn't advance.
- I was shocked more than usual. - Right.
- That was your first. - I'd never experienced this.
Experiencing this at the age of 21...
- took a toll on me. - You say that, but after the match,
you were smiling the most.
I saw the videos so many times.
(He's the happiest.)
(This shortie seems happy.)
He was smiling a lot.
- He didn't seem shocked at all. - At that time, everyone was happy.
- We won Germany, first place. - Right.
But if I looked down...
- You were shocked inside. - I was shocked.
- I was completely shocked. - You were shocked.
- Had the coach put him in, - Exactly.
- we would've advanced. - That's his point.
This was directed to Shin Tae Yong.
(You heard that, right?)
Seung Woo, you only played during the second half...
- of Russia World Cup. - Yes.
But you said that physically, it's harder than starting the match.
- That's possible. - Is it?
When you watch the matches,
you might assume that players would be energetic and do a good job...
- if they start at the second half. - Because you warmed up too much?
- It's not that. - They need time to get started.
Players who started the match and played for 45 or 60 minutes,
their tempo would continually rise.
- But we sit and give them water. - That's true.
That's why there would be a big gap in our tempo.
When I started during the second half, it was so demanding.
Everyone including my teammates, commentators, or the audience...
- who are watching the match... - They tell you to run more.
- They want you to run more. - think that I'm not trying.
- They say I get tired too quickly. - You must be more energetic.
Seung Woo has to play the field more.
(But I'm doing that.)
- Right. - The 1st 5 minutes are the hardest.
- Our heart rate is low. - Precisely. It's really hard...
to catch up with their speed.
When I run the field from an end to another, my legs get weak.
Young Gwon. Yong. You're starting players. What do you think?
- I do understand his point. - What's your opinion?
But since he's young, he has to run more.
- This is an excuse. - Okay.
It is true that it's harder to run because of the tempo,
but starting late is easier.
- Starting late is easier. - I really worked hard.
You know once you watch the clips. Time Fairy. I'm all over the place.
- I really worked so hard then. - This might happen though.
When it's about to finish, you might have energy left.
- I'd get just started. - But it's over.
When I'm ready, the clock says 88 minutes.
- Or 90 minutes. Or it's overtime. - That's right.
Some players start after 45 minutes during the 2nd half.
In that case, it's like taking a walk.
(This World Cup newbie makes a spot-on analogy.)
Hyeon Woo said this.
"I don't care even if Messi shoots the ball."
Yes, I...
(Don't bring Messi into this.)
- Leave Messi out of this. - They all snorted at the same time.
- It's not that. - They just snorted at him.
Stop it already.
This is entertaining.
- What was that? - Young Gwon said,
"Stop it already."
I don't know the names of the soccer players.
I don't know who is who.
- You don't know who the shooter is. - No.
You know who Messi is.
- Don't you know who Messi is? - You know who Messi is.
I know who Messi is.
People ask, "Whose ball were you the happiest to block?"
I find it hard to name the soccer player.
I don't know who is who.
Even if Messi is the shooter, you block the ball...
- without worrying about the fact. - Yes.
Seung Woo, you are close to Messi.
I am not close to him. We met a few times.
You need to say it clearly.
I said it clearly.
(They only met a few times.)
Hyeon Woo, you said...
you feel like a psychopath sometimes.
It looks like the others agree.
They stayed still.
They didn't go, "You are not a psychopath!"
Does it mean...
you don't get swayed by emotions?
Seung Woo wanted to say something.
Reading the article about his visit to Radio Star...
made me think once more,
"He is a psycho."
- Seriously. - "He is a psycho."
"He is a psycho."
What does that mean?
When I defend well,
the fact that I blocked the ball doesn't make me happy.
Seeing the shooter's gestures...
gives me energy and makes me happy.
They become disappointed.
I know what you mean.
Because I mentioned that..
You like seeing the shooter become annoyed.
Yes, yes.
- He is evil. - Seriously.
Seung Woo expected to receive the symbol of the best player,
Number 10.
I mean...
Before I joined the national team...
Who wore Number 10 previously?
- Park Chu Young. - Park Chu Young wore Number 10.
Before I joined the national team,
Number 10 continued to go to different people.
The older members told me, "You will wear Number 10."
I knew,
but I went, "No, I won't."
I pretended like I didn't know.
However, there was a reason I had to get Number 10.
The player who wears Number 9...
tackles and fights defenders.
The player who wears Number 7, Heung Min,
pushes through from the side and scores a goal.
- Every number has a meaning. - That's his style.
Number 10 usually goes to the players...
who are good and sensible with the ball.
Since there wasn't a player who wears Number 10...
and I had that style,
I was expectant even before I joined the team.
Every player has a unique style.
- Every number has a meaning. - That's right.
Young Gwon wears No. 19.
- What is your style? - What does the number mean?
- No. 19. - It's a random number.
Is it a random number?
Number 19 doesn't have a meaning.
- Why not? - Let me explain.
- Number 19 is... - Number 19 is a personal number.
Yong wears Number 2,
the number of a defender.
- It's the number of a defender. - Number 2 reminds me...
of the two testicles.
Two testicles.
How uncanny!
- There is a connection. - Two testicles!
Even his full name has two syllables.
(It was his destiny to suffer a damage to his testicles.)
I heard that Young Gwon says "Bread" often...
- during the matches. - It sounds like a swear word.
- Firstly, - Do we have pictures?
I am a defender.
I thought he would say,
"When did I say, "Bread"?"
He understood that it's a euphemism for a swear word.
Seriously.
I heard the euphemism often.
- I am a defender. - "Bread".
I can see everything from the back.
Sometimes, I scold the Korean soccer players.
The thing is,
when the players of the opposing team annoy me,
- I swear in Korean. - That's right.
I think they understand the Korean swear words.
They would understand.
That's why I tend to swear a lot.
The foreign soccer players are very expressive.
There is no hierarchy.
I saw a fight between the players of the same team.
There is no hierarchy.
They are simply fellow teammates.
Fellow teammates.
Do you think we should adopt the culture?
When I was young...
I mean...
He probably felt differently when he was young.
You are giving us a good answer.
When I was young,
I wished the national team would adopt such a culture.
Now that I am old,
I am against it.
Of course he is.
(His thoughts changed over time.)
Seung Woo, what do you think?
He has no manners.
We should adopt the culture as soon as possible.
- As soon as possible? - He is like Lee Chun Soo.
Please go on.
The hierarchy makes me feel discomfort every day.
That puts me...
under pressure on the field.
Thus, we should adopt the culture as soon as possible.
There was no hierarchy when you were in Spain.
- No, there wasn't. - Of course not.
There was no hierarchy at all.
It was comfortable. Now that I am in Korea,
there are so many things to worry about.
I have to worry about every single thing.
I want... I want to think about soccer,
but it's impossible.
Seriously.
Even when you eat,
you have to let the senior players go first.
I can't eat quickly because there are senior players.
I have to grill meat and do everything.
You have to grill meat.
(He has to grill meat.)
By the time I begin to eat, the senior players are done.
That's the Korean culture.
(The sorrows of the youngest player)
Young Gwon, you kissed your arm after you scored a goal.
Yes, I did.
Is there a meaning?
- I have... - Your wife?
A tattoo...
- of my wife and my child's names. - You have a tattoo.
I thought it would be nice to do that.
That's how the goal celebration came to be. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Everything happened so fast during the match.
I was celebrating after a goal when I remembered by family.
(Laughing.)
"I should do it now!"
(Honey, I did a goal celebration for the family.)
Seung Woo, I heard you were worried about having...
the same goal celebration as another player.
I...
think about it before I go to sleep.
I think about what to do after I score a goal.
I think about it a lot...
I am a forward...
who scores a goal sometimes.
You scored a goal very nicely.
- You simulated it in your mind. - I made...
some preparations.
I thought about what to do before I went to bed.
If I do the same goal celebration,
people might get bored.
What's your usual goal celebration?
I don't do the same goal celebration twice.
- Really? - That's not fun.
(Should I go or not?)
(I am the person who scored the goal.)
(Every celebration is for a single use.)
I think about it every day before I go to bed,
but the coach didn't let me play.
I didn't have...
enough time.
Show us the goal celebration you had planned.
Show us after you score a goal at an international match.
The Asian Games are coming up.
- After I score a goal? - Promise us a goal celebration.
- How about this? - It's a promise...
- to the nation. - How about this?
Why would you do this after you score a goal?
For goodness' sake.
Why would you do this after you score a goal?
It means you sprinkled seasoning on the match.
Make a promise to the viewers.
(He makes a promise to the viewers of Radio Star.)
- Will you do this? - I have seen it somewhere.
- What is this? - I have seen it somewhere.
"Do you hear this?"
"Do you hear the cheer?"
- "Do you hear this?" - "Do you hear this?"
Does it mean you are turning on the volume?
- How about you, Yong? - Let's ask everyone.
- Yong. - Yong is a defender.
- He might score a goal. - Do you prepare a goal celebration?
I think every player prepares for it.
- Anyone could score a goal. - Yes.
Even though I am a defender, I do think about it.
- What's the goal celebration? - Is there something you prepared?
- During the World Cup... - Why don't you do this?
(The celebration is a testament to his pain.)
For goodness' sake.
You can do this.
He was in pain!
My goodness,
what in the world are you doing?
1, 2, 3.
Gosh, Gook Jin.
I think Gook Jin is...
Lee Yong.
Hyeon Woo, although you are a goalkeeper,
you have a performance.
- After you block the ball? - Even if it's a weak shoot,
I want to block it in a cool way.
When I block the ball,
the camera comes to me.
Then I frown.
- You frown. - Yes.
Have you dodged a ball that was coming towards you...
in order to block it in a cool way?
- I don't go that far. - Why would he do that?
Gook Jin has been acting strange...
since this.
(He is the master of goal celebrations.)
I want to entertain...
- the fans. - You want to entertain the fans.
Even when it's easy to block the ball,
I use big gestures.
You aren't the type to freeze due to nervousness.
- No, I am not. - You are strong-minded.
Hyeon Woo,
you said you were mad at the camera. What does that mean?
- Didn't it fail to film you? - Is that what you think?
When I block the ball,
the camera should be on me.
However, it's on the shooter.
It's upsetting sometimes.
- He is a top star. - That's right.
I can't believe him.
The three of them are like...
Seriously.
You know,
in order to grow top soccer players,
cameramen should go in with ENG cameras.
Like this.
The cameramen should go...
into the field.
I think it would be nice.
I don't get a lot of screen time.
I want to get more screen time.
I understand.
Why don't you wear a helmet with a camera?
(Satisfied)
During the preliminary interview,
Young Gwon was asked about the stories of the World Cup.
He shared a story about mixed-gender saunas.
- That's right. - A mixed-gender sauna.
Germany has those.
- We went to Austria... - There are those saunas.
To train.
We had to alternate between hot and cold baths...
to relieve fatigue.
I went into the bath in swim shorts.
When I went inside,
the staff told me to take off my swim shorts.
- I was like, - That's right.
"Why do I need to do that? There are women."
The staff insisted.
He said it was for hygiene.
In the end,
I took off my swim shorts...
and crouched down.
- That can't help with fatigue. - Could you see women?
Yes, they were there.
- That can't help with fatigue. - I sat like this.
Didn't you feel even more tired?
Suddenly, a young woman came...
in a robe.
Without hesitation,
she took off her robe.
After that experience, we went to Russia.
- Okay. - We went to Russia.
I went to the sauna and relaxed.
However, women looked at me strange.
"What is he doing?"
The staff said,
"You shouldn't do this here."
My goodness.
Seung Woo, I heard that...
you strongly dislike...
your profile picture for the 2018 World Cup.
Other soccer players have cool sayings on them.
Young Gwon's saying is,
"You live if you fight to die. You die if you fight to live."
That's the saying.
Many politicians use that saying.
Yong's saying is,
"You can make a mistake,"
"but it's unacceptable to give up."
Hyeon Woo's is, "You can't beat someone who enjoys playing."
- They are related to soccer. - The sayings suit them.
They are related to soccer.
Seung Woo's saying is,
"Don't let familiarity make you forget what's precious."
It's like guidance for life.
It doesn't suit a profile picture for the World Cup.
- I didn't know. - What's that?
What?
When we were having our profile pictures taken,
someone in the national team came to me and asked...
what I would like to say.
I was like, "What do you mean?"
He said I have to say something.
He told me to hurry up.
That saying is...
- my motto. - It's your motto.
- It's a nice saying. - That's right.
That's why I said it.
When we arrived in Russia,
we went up the stairs of our lodging.
The profile pictures were posted on each floor.
Everyone's saying was releated to soccer,
but mine was, "Don't let familiarity make you forget what's precious."
It looked out of place.
It thought Seung Woo a valuable lesson.
He had become familiar...
with being the key player.
He learned how precious it is to be the key player.
- The saying is very fitting. - It's very fitting.
What will you choose as a saying for the Asian Games?
"Victory".
- "Victory"? - They need to win.
Is everyone going to the Asian Games?
Young Gwon and I aren't going.
If Hyeon Woo goes, he will be a wild card.
- He will be a wild card. - There is an age restriction.
A good outcome will exempt you from the military service.
You have to win.
Thus, the saying on the profile picture.
- That's right. - I read in an article...
that Hyeon Woo will be chosen as a wild card.
- You don't know yet. - I don't know yet.
- It hasn't been decided. - No.
For a profile picture,
most soccer players put their hands behind their backs.
We mostly stand up straight...
for the main pictures.
Then we stand sideways...
or pose as if we are doing a goal celebration...
for additional pictures.
What was your pose?
Photographers usually ask for a goal ceremony,
but I don't have one.
- I pose as if I am blocking a ball. - You do this.
You have long fingers.
(Hyeon Woo has long fingers.)
He has big hands.
His fingers are one knuckle longer than mine.
Let's see.
I have the hands of a self-made man.
A self-made man?
People say that...
fleshy hands are...
those of a self-made man.
He has big hands.
Yong said...
many good things...
about Coach Shin Tae Yong.
Are you trying to get on his good side?
He is sociable, that's all.
Coaches are charismatic and stern...
- on a regular basis. - That's right.
Tae Yong approaches the players like a friend...
to talk to them.
He also plays a lot of pranks and tells jokes.
What kind of a joke does he tell?
He uses swear words a bit.
I see.
He makes you feel comfortable.
He jokes around with us.
He treats us like friends.
Then I will ask this question to Yong.
Between Shin Tae Yong and Choi Kang Hee,
- who would you choose? - You have to answer quickly.
In 1, 2, 3.
Choi Kang Hee.
He is wise.
It's time for him to move on.
He has to move on.
"It's time for him to move on from Shin Tae Yong."
It's time for him to move on. It can't be helped.
Seung Woo, you said that you were sad to see...
Jang Hyun Soo's mental breakdown during the match against Mexico.
I wouldn't call it a mental breakdown.
Hyun Soo went though some difficult times.
The way Hyun Soo prepared for the World Cup...
made it clear that...
he wanted to turn over a new leaf.
After the first match, we had a match against Mexico.
Hyun Soo's mistake led to the penalty kick.
I thought it was a bit uncertain. I was outside the field.
I thought it was a bit uncertain,
but the referee called for the penalty kick right away.
I was really sad...
because I admire Hyun Soo.
- I have seen how he prepared... - That's right.
- for the World Cup. - That's right.
He tried to do well, but the ball hit his hand and such.
It made me feel really sad.
You wouldn't know because you were on the field,
but I had an argument...
with the assistant referees.
I almost got sent off.
- You weren't even playing. - I wasn't even playing.
- I was outside the field. - You did many things.
He kept himself busy.
The standby and assistant referees speak Spanish,
so argued with them in Spanish. They tried to send me off...
by talking to the main referee.
The older players told me to go somewhere else.
(The youngest player is fiesty.)
Young Gwon, a day before the match,
you met Ahn Jung Hwan, Lee Young Pyo, and Park Ji Sung.
He met sports commentators of all three broadcasting stations.
You thought, "I won't be like them."
My goodness.
Did they upset you in some ways?
The thing is,
we always train on the field a day before the match.
They came to the field...
- and cheered for us. - They do that.
They only shook hands and said hello...
to the players they know.
Every player works hard.
To whom did they say hello? Son Heung Min.
The ones I saw were Son Heung Min,
Ki Sung Yueng,
and Koo Ja Cheol.
- Those three players. - They ignored the others.
- How about Hyeon Woo? - They didn't say hello to me.
- I see. - You must have been disappointed.
They have no eyes for people.
I thought...
that kind of a behavior...
could make...
- the junior players feel... - That's right.
- a sense of alienation. - That's right.
Everyone wants to say hello to them.
I thought you would say something else.
After the second match,
they criticized the team.
I thought you would say that...
- you were disappointed. - He wouldn't do that.
- About that... - Let everything out.
Think of me as Ahn Jung Hwan.
You aren't Ahn Jung Hwan.
(You aren't Ahn Jung Hwan.)
They might not have wanted...
- to pressure the players. - That's right.
That might be the explanation.
- I understand. - That's right.
Upon seeing Jung Hwan on Radio Star...
(Young Gwon saw Jung Hwan on Radio Star.)
He is very dissatisfied with Jung Hwan.
I heard what Jung Hwan said on Radio Star...
made you bristle.
I wouldn't say that.
He picked the promising players...
he has high expectations for.
I see.
He is sensitive.
He didn't get picked.
- He didn't pick Young Gwon. - I was disappointed...
because my name...
didn't come up.
Who do you like the best among the three spots commentators?
I like Jung Hwan the best.
- I see. - I like him the best.
It's because I like him that I feel disappointed.
(He wants Jun Hwan's attention.)
We briefly talked about...
Seung Woo's connections.
- That's right. - Let's see the people he knows.
- Messi. - Messi.
Messi. Who is this?
He is a friend.
I was like, "Who is this?"
"He is a friend."
(Laughing)
Who is he?
- Neymar. - Neymar.
- Neymar. - He is shorter than I thought.
He wasn't very tall.
He is 176cm tall.
He let you multiple pictures.
There is...
a soccer player named Rafinha Alcantara.
He opened a gym.
- He invited me. - You made friends with them too.
Since he's a Brazilian player,
other Brazilian players including Neymar were there.
So I took photos with them.
You said South American players help you a lot...
when you were going through a hard time.
When I left FC Barcelona,
the first thing I thought of was that I should play in the World Cup.
And I thought that joining an European soccer team...
would make it possible for me to join the national team.
That's why I decided to join Hellas Verona FC in Italy.
In the beginning, I got to play in many games,
but from December to March,
- I couldn't play for three months. - Right.
As I couldn't play in 7 or 8 games, I started thinking...
that I wouldn't be able to fulfill my goal,
- and that I might have to give up. - You were under a lot of pressure.
- The South American players... - Right. They helped you out.
- Yes, they... - They must've helped you a lot.
Martin Caceres, a Uruguayan player, was in my team back then.
He communicated with South American players in Spanish.
- He can communicate with them. - Oh, Spanish.
Thiago and Rafinha Alcantara and some other players...
gave me advice. I also asked them for advice as it was so hard.
Latin Americans tend to be very affectionate, right?
- They were very nice to me... - They're a lot like Koreans.
- and helped me a lot. - What about Korean players?
They didn't give me any advice.
It's because you had already joined the national team.
- The national team players... - You had joined the team.
The Latin American players gave him more advice.
It seems the Latin American players helped him a lot. Looking at him,
they tried to remember what advice they gave to him,
- but they couldn't think of any. - They didn't give him advice.
(The cold-hearted Korean players)
- Hyeon Woo is the talk of the town. - He looks like many celebrities.
- Right. - When I saw him,
- Jay Park and... - he reminded me of someone.
- He looks like many celebrities. - There are so many celebrities.
- Jay Park and... - There are so many of them.
- Right. He looks like Jay. - He looks like Jay.
- He also looks a bit like Brian. - Brian.
- Brian. And Lee Eun Gyeol. - He looks like Lee Eun Gyeol too.
- And Sleepy. - Sleepy.
- There are so many of them. - Jo Kwon too.
- He's a member of H.O.T. - As you can see...
- Jang Woo Hyuk. - That's Lee Jae Won.
- There's Jae Won too. - He looks a lot like Jo Kwon.
- Jo Kwon. - He looks like a lot of people.
- Yes. I saw many photos like this. - His face isn't so ordinary.
I hear that I look like Sleepy a lot.
- Both of you are tall too. - Yes.
- He's the most modest... - I see.
- among the guests. - I think...
- I think... - They look very much alike.
He has the virtues of a star.
Sleepy has been trying to...
take advantage of Hyeon Woo...
- to attract more followers. - That's right.
I bet Sleepy will post a clip of his comment...
- on social media. - Do you know...
- I'm sure of it. - that he's doing that?
Yes, I do. We had a chat on social media.
- We promised to meet up later. - I see.
- They'll meet up. - You two will meet up?
- Yes, we will. - Considering Sleepy's personality,
- he would've asked to see him. - Well, it'd be a good deed.
(The image for Sleepy, I'm happy that I look like him.)
In regards to Young Gwon's controversial comment last year,
Seung Woo said that he deserved to be criticized.
Of course. He deserves criticisms as he said such a thing.
However...
(Seung Woo lost his confidence in only one second.)
Why...
Young Gwon said that the spectators were shouting so loud,
which made it hard for him to communicate with his team players.
I remember that you apologized at the airport...
- when you came back to Korea. - Yes, I did.
- However, in my case, - Go on.
Even when there are a lot of spectators, once I enter the field,
I can hear the other players' voices quite clearly.
I have no problem at all hearing them.
- You should be careful. - Right.
I can hear them clearly,
- so I can't relate to his comment. - The next World Cup will be fun.
He wanted to say that it was hard to communicate with the other players.
He didn't mean to offend them.
That's right. Because of that comment,
- I was criticized a lot. So... - Yes.
I watched the interview many times.
I watched it over and over again...
and analyzed it. After watching it several times,
I could see why people misunderstood me...
- when they heard what I said. - They cheered for you.
I felt very apologetic towards them.
- Right. - During the World Cup in Russia,
Seung Woo said, "Korean soccer players..."
- "have to fight against media." - That's...
- a sharp comment. - You said that.
- They need to be cautious. - It seems to me...
- When we want to say something... - He didn't hold back.
If we say our honest opinions, we get criticized.
- You know what happened to him. - Yes.
He got criticized a lot.
When I was younger, I spoke honestly.
- I talked about my feelings... - Right.
About the game just as I felt.
However, as time passed, and I became...
older, I came to think...
- What year were you born in? - I was born in 1998.
- You're still so young. - I have a lot to think of now.
I can't speak completely honestly. I only say 80 percent of it.
I can't bring myself to say any more than that.
If I speak honestly, I get criticized for it.
Even people around me like my family get criticized too.
So I told myself to be more careful. Now, I can't...
speak honestly in interviews.
Handling the media is one of the abilities you need to be a star.
So all I can say is something like "I'll try hard. I'll do my best."
Then they'd say you're boring.
Exactly. I don't know what to do.
- It's true, but... - You need experience and skills.
- That's right. - It's fight against the media.
When you came back to Korea, people threw eggs at you, right?
- Right. I heard that. - That was too harsh.
("People Throw Eggs and Pillows, Players Baffled")
- At first, I thought... - They got criticized a lot.
- it was a huge pillow. - A cushion.
- Right. A cushion. - It was this large.
- It looked like a Korean taffy. - I see.
- A Korean taffy? - It was a cushion in that shape.
- They threw many cushions at us. - I see.
However, they meant to hit us with those cushions,
but the reporters got hit instead of us.
- They threw 6 or 7 pillows too. - Pillows?
It's not like they would've slept there.
(Their behavior made every Korean including the players furious.)
- You see... - How about using a frying pan?
And then they cook the eggs.
Young Gwon's defensive skills shone the most...
when he made his social media account private quickly.
- That was very quick. - Yes.
Those who cause controversies...
- react quickly. - That was quick.
- That was really quick. - Yes.
After that, I read a comment.
"You made your account private more quickly..."
"than you defend in soccer games."
- He was quick. - There are a lot of witty people.
- That's witty. - It's funny.
Yong talked about the other players.
"Hyeon Woo's face looks pale."
"Seung Woo is too short." You criticized their appearances.
Well, I only answered the question I was given.
There was a reason why he was asked this question.
I heard you make a lot of effort to take care of your looks.
- He looks the best among them. - It's not like that.
In fact, many soccer players...
often change their hairstyles...
and like doing it.
Since there aren't many things to do to relieve stress,
many of us do it to relieve stress.
I heard you also get a wax regularly.
Soccer players... Each of us...
has his own way to take care of body hair.
- It's because... - Of course. You need to do it.
We take a shower very often.
So we get a Brazilian wax.
- Do you get a full body wax? - Yes.
Actually, I was offered a discount for a pre-paid wax package.
I bought the pass that includes seven sessions.
However, it hurt so much at the first session.
I haven't done it ever since. I still have 4 or 5 sessions left.
- If any of you need it... - My goodness.
All of foreign players do that.
That's right. They all do it.
- All Brazilian players must do it. - Yes.
It's because they consider body hair...
- a little unhygienic. - That's right.
- Many people remove body hair. - Yes.
So only Yong got a wax, right?
- Do you get a wax too? - Yes.
- I see. - Oh, many of soccer players do it.
I think did it too seeing that he's quiet.
- Yes. I do it often. - I see.
- I didn't know that. - I understand.
We don't have to ask Hyeon Woo.
If you think about it, it could've been worse...
if he had removed his body hair...
before getting hit with the ball.
Did you get a wax before the game?
Yes. I did it by myself.
- I guess it was less protected. - The impact must've been bigger.
Seung Woo said, "It takes the other players..."
"five seconds to understand my jokes."
You put years on them.
I feel frustrated when I'm with them.
When we talk to each other...
- How big is your age gap? - Yong is 12 years older than me.
- I see. - He was born...
- in 1986. - I'm 8 years older than him.
- He's much younger than them. - I'm seven years older than him.
- That's a big age gap. - As I'm much younger than them,
they don't seem to understand what I say.
- You have a generation gap. - Exactly.
- So I have to make dad jokes. - What did they not understand?
I make dad jokes to get along with them these days.
For example, I make puns like, "Can't Yong do this now?"
To make them laugh.
- "Can't Yong do this now?" - "Where is Yong?"
I have to make puns like this.
It looks like they really like that kind of jokes.
It's hard for me, to be honest.
- I have to make them laugh. - You consider their preferences.
Meanwhile, Yong said,
"Seung Woo do things that Korean players would never do."
If he had been in a Korean team,
he wouldn't have been able to continue his soccer career.
- If he'd treated others like this. - Give us an example.
For example, when we eat,
we usually make someone bring food or other things...
for the others at the same table. We made a bet for that.
We played table tennis doubles,
and the losing team should bring whatever the winning team asks.
- The meals were buffet. - He paired up with Hee Chan.
And Heung Min and Jin Hyeon teamed up.
While playing table tennis, he kept teasing them.
- They're his senior players. - They actually got angry.
Jin Hyeon and Heung Min were mad.
He wasn't scolded harshly because we were watching them.
He might have gotten hit if no one was watching.
- I'll explain. - He's playful.
- Very much so. - I paired up with Hee Chan.
He's very poor at playing table tennis.
The losing team should serve the winning team all day long,
and they always make us do too many things.
We don't even have time to eat.
I was determined to win it. Since they're better than us,
I told Hee Chan we should distract them...
because we had no chance to win with our skills.
- Jin Hyeon gets swayed easily. - Jin Hyeon...
gets swayed easily.
So I kept getting on his nerves.
- Show them what you did. - What did you do?
- How... - You were playing table tennis.
- I was... - Show us.
Playing table tennis.
And they were on the other side. I faked shots like this.
- Right. - And I...
I hid the ball, so they couldn't see.
I said, "Jin Hyeon, the ball is under the table."
Then I hit the ball while he was sitting down.
- I see. - Another trick...
- is to drop the ball while serving. - Right.
You pretend to pick it up...
- and hit the ball. - You had it in your hand.
That's the most effective trick.
I asked him to pick up the ball,
and then I hit the ball when he looked down.
He knows that trick.
We won the game and made them do a lot of things.
- I'm impressed. - I see what type of person you are.
It's one of the basic tricks.
(Sneaky)
All right. Hyeon Woo...
was not a goalkeeper in the beginning.
How did you become a goalkeeper?
I used to be a defender.
I'm not exaggerating it.
I used to be a defender.
I wondered what he meant.
- I was just listening to you. - Right.
"I was just listening to you."
The day before the match,
the goalkeeper left the team saying he wanted to quit soccer.
We needed to find a goalkeeper,
so the coach tried out all the players in the team.
Among all of us, I did the best.
Hyeon Woo,
are you not one of those players like Kim Byung Ji...
who started playing soccer at a very young age?
- No. - I see. That's why.
Did you not join the national youth team?
I did,
but I was ranked third in the team.
- I see. - I was never in the spotlight.
He's a late bloomer.
You said that a goalkeeper may seem to do an easy job in games,
- but the training is really hard. - Yes.
During the training,
- as they must know, - They keep falling down.
Goalkeeper training is really tough.
However, during a soccer game...
They don't seem to agree with him.
- I think... - They look like they're saying,
- "It's hard for us too." - We don't really know that.
They don't agree with him.
"It's hard for us too."
During a soccer game, they run more than I do.
It's hard for them.
However, during the training, I have to fall down...
hundreds of times to block the ball in games.
- It's really tough. - I...
When you watch a soccer game,
you see the goalkeeper giving the other players directions.
It's not easy to do that if you're their junior player, right?
It's not easy,
- but they want me to do so. - You should do that?
- Do you have to do that? - He can see from the goal post.
I can see all of them and help them concentrate by doing that.
I see goalkeepers getting angry at their team players.
Sometimes we do.
Young Gwon...
yelled at me.
But I couldn't hear him.
What did you tell me?
(He couldn't hear Young Gwon.)
- He yelled at you? - Yes.
- What did you say? - He yelled back at me.
You yelled back at him. What did you say?
- I said several things to him. - I see.
I told him to slow down...
- or to take it easy. - Right.
- I clearly heard him saying yes. - Yes, I did.
- He's pretending he didn't hear me. - I didn't hear him,
but I couldn't ask him what he said.
Even though he's your junior,
he had to say, "Move to the right!"
- He couldn't say, "Please move." - Exactly.
- That's right. - I try to be respectful though.
- I understand. - I try.
- Right. - It's the same for us.
I often tell Jong Shin,
- "Mr. Yoon, do it properly." - That's right.
- It's our role to play. - Yes.
He gets down on his knees and everything in the waiting room.
- He's talking nonsense. - He cries too.
I try to be respectful to you only because we're on TV.
(Sulky)
Young Gwon...
is playing in Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao FC...
- and treated like a national guest. - Really?
Well... It's not that I'm treated like a national guest.
- But they have their own style. - Right.
- It's different in China. - That's right.
How is the Chinese league different?
For example... It's not about the Chinese league.
My team treats me really well.
As I'm a player from a different country...
Do Chinese teams pay the players...
150 or 200 percent of what Korean teams pay their players?
- How much do they pay? - Do the players get paid a lot?
I think they pay the players much more than Korean teams do.
Are the stadiums in China always filled with fans?
Yes. My team attracts...
at least between 50,000 and 60,000 spectators.
That's amazing.
What are the pros and cons of the Korean and Chinese leagues?
Can you tell us?
There must be differences.
- First of all... - Tell us about the Japanese league.
- Don't worry about criticisms. - He's feeling uncomfortable.
- He's worried too much. - Young Gwon is still thinking...
about the controversy.
(He hasn't overcome the nightmare.)
I think he keeps thinking about it.
- Don't worry. - It's okay.
- You can tell us. - Everyone. As you can see,
- he's been walking on thin ice. - That's right.
- That's right. - It was too harsh.
- Exactly. - Please cheer him up.
I haven't played in the Korean league yet.
- You went overseas right away. - I made my debut in Japan.
- How is the Japanese league? - The Japanese league...
- is sort of neat. - I see.
Their game management strategies are organized and meticulous...
- and involves a lot of passing. - That's right.
There are many good restaurants in Japan too.
- Restaurants? - There are many restaurants.
- Right? - After a game,
- they can eat soba noodles. - Yes.
(I'm the only one you can trust, right?)
If your team treats you so well,
why are you planning to transfer to another team?
First of all, I...
- have experienced everything. - Right.
- You want a different experience. - My team won...
the Chinese Super League and the Asian Champions League.
I was chosen as the player of the year...
- in Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao FC. - Is that so?
- He accomplished everything. - Therefore,
- I want to play in a European team. - A European team?
- Yes. - I hope he will.
In which league do you want to play? The English Premier league?
I'm considering 1 of the top 5 leagues.
Among the five leagues,
I hope I can play in the English Premier League.
(The UK, Spain, Germany, France, Italy)
Seung Woo, you can help him out.
- Help Young Gwon? - Yes.
But my team has been demoted.
(To the second division)
I was saying that you could give him advice,
- not that he should join your team. - You can tell him...
- about the team atmosphere. - That's right.
I haven't... In fact,
I've never seen Young Gwon this close before.
- When we were in the same team, - Have you not talked to him?
It was hard to see him.
(It turns out they're awkward around each other.)
I never had a chat with him when we were in the national team.
Considering that this is his first time,
- He seems comfortable. - he speaks comfortably.
- You two seem close. - Exactly.
I've never been so close to Young Gwon,
so I'm a little nervous.
(I'm a little nervous.)
(His heart is fluttering.)
How do you think of Seung Woo as your junior player?
Well, I think...
he's a little rude sometimes,
(The counter attack of the defender)
but he never crosses the line.
- He's cute. - He never does. That's right.
- I find him adorable. - I see.
(He speaks with affection.)
Coach Choi Kang Hee sent Yong to Radio Star...
to promote his team, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor FC.
But in the interview, Yong said...
the clubhouse is located in a remote area.
(The clubhouse is in a remote area.)
- Is it far from the accommodation? - He said he can see a cemetery.
Is it in Jeonju?
No. Well...
The clubhouse...
- is in Bongdong, Wanju. - In Wanju?
- It's really far. - So...
The clubhouse is very nice.
In order to build a large building,
- That's why it's in a remote area. - they picked a remote area.
In front of the clubhouse, I see rice patches,
and the mountains at the back.
I can see a grave from my room.
- That sounds scary. - But it's nice.
However, other soccer teams...
from foreign countries visit our clubhouse...
because the facilities in there are very good.
- And... - He's promoting his team now.
In fact, the team won many times.
The coach is watching him.
- Also, my team has the most fans. - That's right.
- It's the most popular team. - That's right.
Doesn't Suwon FC have more fans?
No, my team has the most fans.
(Speaking angrily)
- We also have a lot of supporters. - I see.
Even when we play an away game, it feels like a home game.
- Is it affiliated with H company? - Yes, it is.
Can you get a discount when you buy a car?
- It's possible. - If we win,
we get a 30 percent discount.
- Oh, I see. - Really?
The Ulsan team is also affiliated with that company.
That's true, but...
- It's affiliated with the company. - I played in that team before.
- It's a different company. - Well...
The parent company of the Ulsan team is a ship building company.
The other players and I once made a request.
We said that the Jeonbuk team...
- got a discount on cars, - You complained.
- but we didn't. - A discount on a ship.
We were told to buy a ship.
"If you buy a ship, you can get..."
- "a discount of 100,000 dollars." - That makes sense.
(Exceptional offer)
- K League? - Promote K League too.
- The season begins this weekend. - That's right.
All the players are trying to continue the World Cup fever...
by doing their best in the field with so much passion.
I hope many people will come to see the soccer games.
- They need their fans there. - Seung Woo plays overseas.
- The players were so territorial. - Right.
They didn't even pass the ball to him.
- It happens. - Of course.
When I first went to Barcelona, Spain,
I couldn't communicate with the other players,
so it was hard for me to get along with them.
And maybe that's why...
- they didn't pass me the ball. - Right.
I thought I would be fired if I kept going on like that.
I would be sent back to Korea.
So I studies the language so hard.
- English, I mean, Spanish? - I studied Spanish.
I woke up at 8am.
Until I started training at 1pm,
I studied Spanish alone all along.
About one year later,
I became good friends with them and had fun with them.
They passed me the ball more often,
and I got more chances to score a goal.
You go through that experience anywhere you go.
Do you speak fluent Spanish like a native speaker?
When I mastered Spanish,
I moved to Italy.
(He moved to Italy when he mastered Spanish.)
It sounds so tough.
- Are the two languages similar? - Italian and Spanish...
are similar, so I can understand Italian.
- Is that so? - You speak English too, right?
No. I speak Italian, Spanish,
Catalan, and Korean.
Many soccer players who play overseas have a hard time...
- because of the language barrier. - Of course.
- It's hard to... - It's hard to learn a language...
unless you go overseas at a young age.
Young Gwon is... Are you 29?
If he goes overseas at the age of 29,
it'd be difficult to learn a new language.
- He's taken aback. - I mean...
(His unexpected attack penetrated the defense.)
When Young Gwon was in college,
the coach of his soccer team paid his tuition. Is it true?
Yes, it is. When I was in high school,
I wasn't an outstanding player.
So I couldn't get admission from any colleges.
I didn't know what to do.
But at the last minute,
I got a call from the coach at Jeonju University.
He said he would pay my tuition for one semester...
and try me out,
and if I couldn't keep up with the training,
he would kick me out of the team.
The coach called me out...
- for individual training. - I see.
He must've seen potential in you.
Yes. The coach thought that I have the talent,
but I didn't try hard,
- You didn't try hard. - and I just slacked off.
He wanted to develop my talent.
Thanks to him, I improved a lot.
- What's his name? - Jung Jin Hyeok.
- You must be grateful for him. - Yes, I am.
- I see. - Isn't it a very rare case?
Usually, the elite players in champion teams...
- get to join the national team. - It rarely happens.
- Elite players are usually picked. - Right.
He went through a lot, but only got criticized.
I hope...
- It's a rare thing to happen. - good things will happen to him.
Did you do manual labor in high school?
Yes, I did.
My father's business failed.
My father...
- ended up being on the run. - I see.
I stayed with my team players in a dormitory.
We got to go out every weekend.
The other kids went home,
but I had nowhere to go.
- You must've been distressed. - I said to a friend...
whose house was far from the school,
"Let's make money on weekends to spend it during the week."
(He decided to make money on weekends.)
We went to an employment agency,
got a one day job,
and worked manual labor.
We got paid...
70 dollars...
including the commission.
- What kind of work did you do? - I...
- Carrying goods? - Yes, that too.
I dug with a shovel...
and bent rebar. I did many different works.
I lived off the money I earned for a week.
And then I worked again on weekend...
and lived off what I earned for the next week.
I couldn't ask my father for an allowance...
- in that situation. - He went through a hard time.
- It's amazing. You're 29, right? - Yes.
He couldn't focus on soccer training if he worked on weekends.
He became successful after he enrolled in university.
- He's incredible. - Right.
Seung Woo, you haven't heard this story before, right?
I haven't had a chance to talk to Young Gwon.
- I've never heard this story. - This is your first time, right?
- It's my first time. - Right.
Talk to each other, will you?
(We hope you two become close friends.)
Yong considered retiring until recently...
- because of hernia. Is that true? - I didn't know that.
It's different from the common type of hernia.
It's called sports hernia.
I feel fine in everyday life,
but I feel pain when I run.
At first, I thought it was muscle cramp.
- I hate muscle cramp. - Right.
But it's easy to relieve muscle cramp while exercising.
- So... - "I hate muscle cramp."
Why don't we eat fish roe soup after this?
- All right. - "I hate muscle cramp."
- Gook Jin, this is serious. - My goodness.
- You shouldn't make a joke now. - He's obsessed.
I know.
Please go on.
- I continued playing soccer, - We've been making a lot of puns.
But my condition got worse and worse.
I couldn't play soccer anymore in the end.
I went to see many different doctors in Korea,
but none of them was able to find out the problem.
Did you play soccer despite the pain?
No, I couldn't play soccer.
I took a one-year break last year.
- What happened? - So...
Gilvan Oliveira, the physical therapist of my team,
said he knew a doctor in Germany.
I had the surgery...
to pull the abdominal muscles and sew them together.
Have you fully recovered?
Yes, I'm fine now.
Back then, I thought I would have to quit playing soccer.
Germany made you sad and happy.
The doctor was really happy after the surgery.
He congratulated me...
- as I could play soccer again. - And he beat the German team.
He was very happy for me.
When he watched the World Cup game,
- He must've been surprised. - I think he regretted.
(I think he regretted.)
All of them went through a lot of hardship.
This is like a contest.
So when Seung Woo hear stories like this...
about the other guests, he thinks it's ridiculous,
so he just laughs at them.
When it comes to my soccer career,
I've been doing well without any hardship.
But I had a hard time...
because I've been living overseas since I was elementary school.
I lived alone there.
- He must've been lonely. - Since he was little?
- I stayed in the dormitory, - He must've been lonely.
So I felt so sad sometimes.
- And I had to compete with others. - It's competition.
Every year, my team fires a few of the players.
Every year.
Since I was little, I've been seeing intense competition.
- I thought no one would help me, - You have to survive.
- and I should survive. - That's right.
If I do a little better than Spanish players,
they hire the Spanish players.
So I had to be much better than them.
I was in intense competition at a young age.
It's amazing that he started his career when he was a teen,
and he survived the intense competition.
They went through different kinds of hardships.
- Seung Woo had his own problems. - Right.
But they all gathered on top.
It's amazing that they survived.
Hyeon Woo is famous as a romanticist.
He brings his wife to his games, interviews, and this studio...
- His wife is here? - Is she here?
Oh, his wife is here.
- Right. - She's gazing at him.
She and Hyeon Woo are looking at each other.
She's looking at him.
I see.
I heard you often act cute in front of your wife.
My wife likes it when I address her formally...
- because she's older than me. - How much older is she than you?
- She's three years older than me. - She likes it?
Usually, women don't like it...
- They ask not to address formally. - Right.
- She likes it. - I see.
Do you act cute when you've done something wrong?
- Or when you want something. - No. I rarely...
do anything to make her upset.
How did you two meet?
A friend introduced her to me.
About three days...
after we met for the first time, I asked her to marry me.
- You really liked her. - Three days?
- Three days? - Yes.
They're whispering again.
(I can hear you.)
- They're whispering again. - While one of them...
- is talking, the others whisper. - Exactly.
- That's right. - Three days?
- It's strange. - He asked her to marry him.
They were meant to be.
- I asked her to marry me. - Yes.
It took us some time to prepare for the wedding,
- but I proposed to her at the time. - Goodness.
- You made a decision quickly. - Yes.
- They were meant to be. - How long have you been married?
- Two years. - When did you meet her?
It's been about 1,200 days.
- See? - He's been counting the days.
Seeing that he counted...
- Do you have a child? - the days...
- How old is she? - She's 10 months old.
10 months?
- 1,200 days. - I heard...
that you told her about your salary as soon as you met her.
(I heard you told your wife about your salary when you met her.)
- I... - When you just met her.
- I wasn't paid that much. - I see.
However, it meant a lot...
- to me. - He wanted to be honest with her...
- about his salary and himself. - That's right.
I wasn't very famous back then,
but she always adored me...
- and cheered me up. - It was a strong point.
I still...
- Excuse me. - He keeps grumbling.
(He shines so brightly.)
According to Hyeon Woo's wife,
Hyeon Woo easily sulks...
and whines all the time.
She rarely expresses her love.
- Your wife does? - Yes.
Since she's from Gyeongsang Province,
she tends to be blunt.
And I keep whining.
- He nags her to show her love. - You ask her for more love?
- They're a good match. - Yes.
- I don't know. - It's hilarious.
It's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
- He whines for love. - What...
What do you want her to do more often?
How do you want her to show her love?
- I don't know if I should say it, - She speaks bluntly?
But I ask her to feed me.
(I ask her to feed me.)
- Look at the other guests. - They're shocked.
I see what you mean.
- You want her to feed you? - When you two are alone?
It's because when I'm away...
The other guests lowered their heads at the same time.
(They have fantastic teamwork.)
(Patting him on the back)
Young Gwon got married when he was 25.
- He got married... - They all got married early.
Only one year after he met his wife.
Yes. I got married 1 year after I met my wife for the 1st time.
What did you like so much about her?
I just wanted to marry her.
I liked the way she spoke...
and her perspective on life.
Her thoughts moved my heart.
I think that's why I decided to marry her.
You love your wife very much, right?
Of course, I do.
Why did you ask that?
- Of course, he loves her. - There are different reactions.
Some men say, "Well, yes."
Some say, "Yes." Like this.
There are many different reactions.
Do you and your wife have any issues?
She keeps asking me to look after our baby more often.
That's understandable.
Every mom can relate to that.
I didn't have much time to stay home because of the training.
Of course.
But my wife said it's important to spend time with the baby.
- She's right about that. - Yes. So...
she asked me to try to think of our baby more.
Seung Woo, do you want to...
- get married early? - What do you think?
I haven't thought about it yet.
Would you marry a Spanish woman?
No. I want to marry a Korean woman.
I don't get attracted to foreign girls.
- Really? - Yes.
You see, life never goes as planned.
He might...
- date a Spanish model later. - Right. You never know.
He might be seen with her.
- He might marry a Spanish girl. - You can't be sure.
- You never know. - Yes.
That's what happened to Joo Ho.
- Park Joo Ho? - His wife is a Swiss woman.
- Really? - She's a foreigner.
- I see. - Joo Ho always said,
"I won't marry a foreigner. I won't even think of it."
- One day, I saw a news article... - Right. You never know.
- He met her while he was in Swiss? - Yes.
- See? You can't be sure. - You never know.
- You never know. - It looks like...
Seung Woo will marry a foreign woman.
I met a few foreign women.
I didn't date them. I just met them.
I couldn't get along with them.
I just like Korean women.
Are you willing to help him out?
In the national team, each of us takes care of ourselves.
- There's no team... - He holds a grudge.
- when it comes to this matter. - He's resentful.
They play as a team only in soccer games.
- When it comes to personal life, - Personal matters?
We take care of it individually. We don't help each other.
Yong, you're still single.
- Most athletes... - Most of my fellow athletes...
are married and have more than one child.
But I'm still single.
- He's committed to his girlfriend. - Is he?
- Really? - For his girlfriend,
he even went cycling in cycling tights.
Is that true?
- "Is that true?" - He's taken aback.
- Why did you do that? - "Is that true?"
You have to wear the tights when you go cycling.
I think he'd look great in tights.
She liked riding a bicycle.
I couldn't meet her often because of the training.
I wore tights, so we could enjoy her hobby together.
However, you said it was painful to ride a bicycle.
- When you first ride it, - It can be uncomfortable.
It hurts around the prostate gland.
- That's right. - At the first time riding it.
You have a lot of problems there.
Oh, I see.
- It's always that part. - Right.
(It's always that part that it hurts.)
Choi Kang Hee has always been...
if Yong will be able to get married.
He said his soccer life has changed in the best way when he got married.
He could focus more and things went well after that.
Whenever he sees me, he tells me to get married soon.
He said I shouldn't only look for someone pretty.
I guess that's what you only look for.
- That's not... - I think...
- I mean, he's handsome. - He does focus on looks, I guess.
Why don't you promote yourself now?
- He's so handsome. - Talk about your ideal type.
Someone innocent and...
That means pretty.
That's definitely what it is.
What do you mean by innocent?
- Clean impression? - Yes.
Does that mean clean?
Does that movement show cleanness?
It looks like you are painting something.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
The referee gave extra 10 minutes at the match with Germany.
So here's today's theme.
"Songs You Can Sing at the Extra Time with Germany."
Let's listen to Hyeon Woo's song.
("One Love" by Park Sang Min)
- "One Love"? - That's for his wife.
- This is too much. - Seriously.
He's showing us the epitome of...
the affectionate athlete.
Have you sung this song for your wife?
- Not even once. - Really?
- It's time to sing for her then. - Awesome.
Let's listen to Hyeon Woo's "One Love"!
("One Love" sung by Jo Hyeon Woo)
(They're half expectant, half worried.)
3, 4...
(He starts with his soft voice.)
- He's really good. - He is.
- There he goes! - That's amazing.
- He's really good. - I know, right?
He's really good.
- What? - He's so good.
(He's hitting the right notes and the perfect rhythm.)
- He's amazing. - Goodness.
- Seung Woo is surprised. - He is.
He's really good at singing.
(Nobody had expected him to be this good at singing.)
(I really want you.)
- Did you see that? - He's playing with the rhythm.
(He has the world-class falsetto and the perfect sense of rhythm.)
His falsetto...
- He can even do falsetto. - Goodness.
(I want to be around you)
(They can't do anything but just watching De Gea singing.)
- How come he's so good? - Did he get a professional lesson?
- He definitely did. - I think so too.
(Because of how good he is, everyone thinks he got a vocal lesson.)
- He's just too good. - I know, right?
He's really good at singing.
(A serenade for her)
But you can't become good at singing just because you get a lesson.
He's really good.
(The nation's romanticist's confession)
(Even towards the end of the song, he's still stable like his hair.)
Thank you.
(He wrapped up perfectly.)
You should've gone to "King of Mask Singer".
It could have shaken the whole nation.
- He doesn't joke around. - It was amazing.
He's been showing us some amazing talents.
- That was the highlight of today. - He was waiting until the end.
You are so good at singing.
I love singing and listening to music.
- You are really good. - I never expected that.
- He's the best among any athletes. - I agree.
You guys didn't know how good he is either, right?
- It's the first time to see this. - It's the first time.
Everyone looks so surprised.
The next song will be "Oppa's Car".
(Young Gwon is going to sing "Oppa's Car".)
- Oh, well. - Do your best.
Today's Hyeon Woo's day.
- That's true. - Right...
Choosing this song means he's about to die.
- It's not a good idea. - Let's listen to his song.
"Oppa's Car" isn't easy.
Let's do this.
- Let's see how it goes. - That's...
- It is a good song. - It is.
Why did you choose this song?
I couldn't see my wife and kid yet.
- After World Cup... - What?
They are in China, and my kid has to go to kindergarten too.
They have their lives to make there.
- You couldn't go there yet. - No, I couldn't.
It means that I'll go there soon with my car.
- That sounds like a good reason. - I see.
Let's listen to Kim Young Gwon's "Oppa's Car"!
"Oppa's Car" by Kim Young Gwon.
(Oppa got a car)
(He shows his singing ability boasting about his car.)
(He's good.)
(Young Gwon starts his car with ease.)
- He's good. - He really is.
(Why is he so good too?)
(His rapping is like his shooting skill.)
(I don't want to sing after him.)
(He plays with the beat.)
(Wheels instead of shoes)
(I'm not going to stop)
(How is a soccer player so good at rapping?)
(Young Gwon makes the audience shout.)
(This is King Young Gwon. Nobody can beat him.)
(His rapping skill is like he's in the national team of rappers.)
(He just decided to enjoy this moment.)
(He was amazing until the end!)
That was awesome!
Gook Jin said younger generations are really different.
- That's true. - Even athletes are good at singing.
They are like celebrities now.
It doesn't look like you've sung that song only once or twice.
I thought I would be disappointed after Hyeon Woo's performance.
- That didn't happen. - But he was good too.
- That was different. - It's Seung Woo's turn!
Looks like he needs to be replaced with someone now.
It's not going to be easy.
Let's listen to Seung Woo's song!
(What's Seung Woo's song?)
Oh, I know this song.
- I like it. - Me too.
It has some dance moves.
("Beautiful Night" by Ulalasession)
Radio Star airs on every Wednesday night.
This is for the beautiful Wednesday night.
- I'm really not good at singing. - I see.
Let's listen to Seung Woo's "Beautiful Night"!
(Deeply sighing)
I love everyone's character today though.
(He can't hear anything.)
(How good is Seung Woo going to be?)
(In my eyes)
(What?)
- This is different. - He must be nervous.
(The youngest boy is nervous.)
(It's sparkling)
(He's cute.)
(I'm champagne filled with you)
(Seung Woo, 21, is pronouncing clearly.)
(How cute!)
(Everyone's smiling like Dad.)
(Don't go home)
(My Seung Woo is doing well.)
Here I go!
(Seung Woo's talent show)
(Let's go, go!)
(A little singing fairy came to the stage.)
(Make a call right now)
(Mom, Seung Woo's not going home tonight.)
(He can't hit high notes.)
(Turn your phone off)
(Everybody)
(It's okay even though you can't hit high notes.)
(It's okay because Seung Woo is cute.)
(He's doing his best.)
(Baby, baby, baby)
(Now a dancing fairy came to the stage.)
You are doing great.
(It's a beautiful night.)
(Doing his best)
Everyone's so charming.
How come all of you are so talented?
Today's episode was...
"Let's Meet Again in Four Years".
Is there anything you want to tell yourself in four years?
What would you say? For the next World Cup...
I'm looking forward to it.
I want to say that I'm someone this nation can rely on...
in four years too.
I'll do my best.
So please support K League too!
It will be really great if many people come to see K League matches.
- I'm looking forward to it too. - What about you, Young Gwon?
Well, since I'm finally getting...
a few compliments after all.
In four years,
I won't be the one to be blamed.
I would love to get many compliments.
- That's what I wish for. - You want to be loved.
Yong, what do you think?
I was at 2014 Brazil World Cup...
and 2018 Russia World Cup.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to...
be the part of the team again in four years.
But I would love to say one thing to the players who will participate.
I'm sure they will do better than us then.
I want to say I'll always support them.
Is it really not possible for you to participate in four years?
As a sportsman, I have to have a goal.
So I will do my best to join the next World Cup.
- But I'll be old then. - Will you be 36?
The physical ability is the most important thing.
Seung Woo, what would you say?
The first World Cup was...
a dreamland for me.
World Cup is the reason why I've been playing soccer...
since I was young.
For the second World Cup, the team and I will prepare for it more.
I hope to make it to the next round...
without calculating the number of cases.
- Not only me, but also... - Wouldn't it be...
- when you are at your peak? - That's right.
- He's going to be 25. - I would love to...
make it to the higher round in Qatar...
- in four years. - Qatar.
Even though we couldn't make it to the round of 16,
we beat Germany, the top ranked team of FIFA.
- Nobody could have expected that. - That's right.
- That's Korean soccer. - I agree.
I'm looking forward to the next World Cup because of them.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
