(Today,)
(the curtain...)
(opens for...)
(the King's speech.)
(They only have a day.)
Okay. You may stop.
(The one who wants to wear the crown,)
(bear its weight.)
(That's how...)
(four individual lectures begin.)
(The story he wanted to hide)
(Their real stories...)
(start today.)
- I'm a fan of All the Butlers. - Yes.
I can tell your personalities while watching.
After spending a day with you,
you overlap with historical figures.
- Do we match anyone? - That's interesting.
- Tell us. - I'm curious.
For Seung Gi,
among historical figures...
What do you think of Seung Gi's personality?
(What do his colleagues think of Seung Gi?)
He shows off a lot.
(He shows off a lot.)
- He loves himself. - He likes to prove himself.
He's in the lead. He's like a general.
- That's right. - That's his impression.
I saw confidence in Seung Gi.
(The master saw confidence in Seung Gi.)
People take active lead...
because they're confident.
It's their way of expressing it.
The most confident man was King Jeongjo.
(The most confident man, King Jeongjo)
(Jeongjo)
(The 22nd king of Joseon, the son of Prince Sado)
(Through reform policy and policy of impartiality, he promoted unity.)
Really?
(Am I to be a king?)
Am I like Jeongjo?
Right. You excel in both scholarship and martial arts.
That's right.
(King Jeongjo excelled in both scholarship and martial arts.)
You go to action school.
That's right. Now I can... Everything...
(Seung Gi?)
I can finish everything with just a set of chopsticks.
Hey.
(I only mentioned the name Jeongjo.)
- He will talk about it for a while. - For a long time.
He will talk about it for at least a few months.
(Seung Gi's planning to keep his chastity for next few months.)
Also, his grandfather, Yeong Jo,
is a child of palace maid.
It's a bad expression, but he was from a degraded class.
- Yes. - So...
he might feel intimidated that people make fun of him for that,
so he takes the bull by the horns. How? With his intelligence.
All the geniuses who passed civil service examinations...
couldn't compete against Jeongjo in terms of intelligence.
If King Sejong was in early Joseon, there's King Jeongjo in late Joseon.
He was smart enough to teach Jeong Yak Yong.
- He was that smart? - That's right.
Guess what he said.
(Jeongjo gives a title to himself.)
The owner of 10,000 rivers.
There are 10,000 rivers,
and there's only one moon in the sky.
But that moon shines on all 10,000 rivers.
That moon is him.
He's the moon that shines on all of you.
That was his way of expressing his confidence.
- That's Seung Gi. - That's me.
- The owner. - "The owner."
The light's so bright that there's no shadow.
"The owner."
Seung Gi is the best.
The owner of 10,000 rivers.
- That's me. - Now, Seong Jae.
Jeongjo? Unbelievable.
Seung Gi will get another campaign.
Seong Jae...
is similar to King Sejong...
Pardon?
His son.
He scared me.
- King Sejong was very smart. - Munjong.
- Munjong? - Yes. He's son of King Sejong.
- At least, I'm still a king. - Taejo, Jeongjong, Taejong...
Yes, he's a king. The reason I said it...
- is that he's a Korean Wave star. - Yes.
Munjong was the first Korean Wave star in Joseon.
- That's why. - In what ways?
He was handsome.
- I knew it. - Yes.
However...
(Although he is only 10 years old, he is soft like jade...)
(and the way he refuses and walks does not go out of manner.)
He wasn't only handsome. Chinese ambassadors at the time...
said he was upright in his conduct.
- He was always polite and modest. - That's right.
His appearance is probably from his upright conduct.
He was a star in China.
- I am a star in China. - Right?
You're Munjong, a star in China.
(Korean Wave star who follows Munjong)
- And... - Munjong.
- Sang Yun... - Yes.
- listens attentively. - Attentively.
That's true. He does listen attentively.
He's the oldest. He listens to you attentively.
He's considerate and modest.
When he speaks, he makes the punchline without a hesitation.
- That's right. - He's similar to...
Minister Hwang Hui who made Sejong the king.
(Surprised)
- The one you mentioned. - Yes.
Minister Hwang Hui.
(Minister Hwang Hui, a noted minister in early Joseon)
(He was a chief state councilor for 18 years.)
Because Sang Yun listens and keeps the balance,
All the Butlers is able to become...
a king of variety show like King Sejong.
(The eldest member Sang Yoon's presence completes All the Butlers.)
Let's give it up for Sang Yoon.
(The master boosts the pupil's moral.)
Yes.
Cheer up.
(He's very satisfied.)
- Hwang Hui. - Right.
I am Jeongjo.
I am Munjong.
You are Munjong.
This is such a fun comparison.
It's my turn now.
Se Hyeong.
(Who would he compare Se Hyeong to?)
What do you think?
- It's obvious. - Right.
(There are two kings and Hwang Hui. What great man would I be?)
Right.
He must've been the mood maker.
- A mood maker. - Yes.
- He's someone who talks witty. - A witty talker.
He must've been someone who sings and dances well.
Someone who lifts people's mood and mesmerizes people.
- Right. - He was...
Hwang Jin Yi.
(Hwang Jin Yi)
(Hwang Jin Yi is here.)
It's perfect.
(I, Hwang Jin Yi, mesmerized Joseon with my fingertips and my eyes.)
Hwang Jin Yi. It's such a fun coincidence.
(If Hwang Jin Yi has fans, Se Hyeong has perilla leaves.)
- Hwang Jin Yi's nickname was... - Yes.
Myeongwol.
(I love Hwang Jin Yi.)
- Myeongwol. - It means "bright moon".
She completely mesmerized Joseon people.
She was the person with great talents.
She was born with quick wits...
and great beauty.
She was the flower of Joseon.
That's who I compare him to.
(It's brilliant.)
- It's amazing. - Goodness.
Of all the compliments I've gotten,
this is one of the best.
It's so easy to understand when he explains.
Hwang Jin Yi was at the height of it.
It was...
- the best. - For the first time in my life,
I want to stay up all night to listen to him talk.
(Is this Master Seol Effect?)
Ms. Hwang Jin Yi.
Jin Yi.
(Are you...)
- I am Hwang Hui. - Yes. Hwang Hui.
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
- I am Jin Yi. - Jin Yi.
I am Jin Yi Yang Se Hyeong.
(Hwang Brothers are in a good mood because of the master.)
- You are Hwang Hui? - I am Hwang Hui.
You are Hwang Hui Lee Sang Yoon.
No. I am Just Hwang Hui.
- Hwang Hui. - Yes.
- It's my favorite nickname so far. - What?
- I love it. - The compliment made me happy.
Me too.
With Master Lee Sun Hee,
- you busked, didn't you? - Yes.
We did. It was really nice.
Right? This is what I think.
The message you try to deliver is the same.
When you deliver it through a song, it becomes a busking.
When you give a lecture about it,
- it becomes a street lecture. - Are we...
Tomorrow,
we are going to hold...
- a street lecture. - History lecture?
(We are going to...)
(give a lecture in the street?)
Are we going to...
- What will we lecture about? - give a history lecture?
It will be about your history.
(The subject is "my history".)
- It will be about your story. - "My history".
Dankook University is just over there.
(They will go to Dankook University, the master's alma mater.)
It's my alma mater.
I want to go there with my great pupils...
and hold a surprise street lecture.
I want to us to hear about their concerns...
and offer our advices.
(That's why he praised us so highly.)
I am going to give you a special training...
and turn you into the best teachers.
Is that possible?
Let's begin the lesson.
(We are going to give a lecture?)
What's that? Wait. He's bringing a weapon.
(For their lecture tomorrow,)
(the master brings out his ace in the hole.)
Why do you have this at home?
Every teacher needs to have one of these at home.
- Right, but... - You need this.
You can make yourself comfortable.
(He will teach us the secret to giving a perfect speech.)
Tomorrow, we are going to give a street lecture.
To do that, I need to know more about you.
- Right. - So...
I will give each of you a minute.
The subject doesn't matter. You can talk about anything.
Think that you are giving a lecture.
When you come out here and perform one by one,
I will analyze your strengths and weaknesses...
and then help you foster your skills.
- We can talk about anything? - Anything.
You are free to talk about anything.
- We're free to talk about anything. - You can talk about anything.
What should I talk about?
Relax.
It's fine if you don't do well.
(He's perplexed.)
Relax. Seung Gi,
what are you most interested in these days?
- Honestly? - Honestly.
I am really concerned about the work I do.
- Your work. - Yes.
After working for 15 years,
I become anxious a lot.
I'm losing confidence.
I am becoming more worried.
I want to do better, but I feel like I've hit a wall.
- You need to go over the wall. - Yes.
Why don't you do a one-minute speech about the wall?
- Right. - Let's hear it.
(The speech itself seems like a wall.)
Talk about the wall inside you. You can go over it or break it.
You can also collapse in front of this wall.
(He needs to give an unprepared 1-minute speech unexpectedly.)
Let's clap our hands to give him a little bit of pressure.
(He's very pressured to go first.)
Wall. My goodness.
Wall.
(The audience is...)
(staring at me.)
In English, it's "wall".
That's great.
- In Japanese, it's "kabe". - That's excellent.
(What do I say now?)
Have you heard of the man King Jeongjo?
- Yes. - King Jeongjo.
You must know that he is one of the great men in history.
If he were to be born in our times,
I think he could've lived like me.
What do you mean by that?
It means you have to go over the wall.
You need to go over the wall of King Jeongjo...
and be born again as Lee Seung Gi.
(He's stuck.)
Okay. That's it. Well done.
(1 minute ends.)
Well done. That was good enough.
- Goodness. - Well done.
That was very well done.
- In case of Seung Gi... - I think it was the worst.
No. No.
You weren't ready yet.
So you were a little stiff.
(He was stiff because he was unprepared for it.)
Because I didn't have confidence, I couldn't move.
You didn't have confidence. You just became stiff.
You became stiff,
(The confidence of King Jeongjo was nowhere to be seen.)
and you didn't know what to say next.
"I said something. Why aren't they laughing?"
You were daunted.
You became rigid.
That was your weakness.
But if you prepare a little bit, you will be able to...
really make use of your big and bright eyes.
It was nice.
(His strength is the king's confidence.)
Next is Seong Jae.
It was absorbing.
Hello. I am Yuk Seong Jae.
- The topic for my lecture is... - He's doing an impression of you.
He's using the marker.
(He's relaxed enough to use a tool.)
He's not showing us what he is writing.
It will be about this word. "Enough".
("Enough"?)
This is my life motto. "Do enough."
When you go over this point,
it becomes "too much".
If you don't go as far, it becomes "too little".
If I only wrote the word "enough",
it would be very ambiguous.
But this is my interpretation of this word.
"Be the right man in the right position and be confident."
("Be the right man in the right position and be confident.")
(My goodness.)
(That was surprisingly good, wasn't it?)
That's it.
(He gives a standing ovation.)
That was great.
Well done.
It was Yuk Seong Jae.
Well done.
(He ended it with the impression of the master.)
Well done. I will go straight to the point.
In terms of skills, he was lacking.
For example.
His eyes made him seem anxious.
They were constantly moving, and it made him look nervous.
When he was writing on the board,
he did something a lecturer must never do.
He did this.
(You can't see anything.)
Right. Right.
I wanted to show it like a highlight of my speech.
- He wanted to go, "Ta-da!" - He looked anxious,
and he wrote on the board like an amateur.
But Seong Jae was applauded.
- Right. - Why is that?
(Why did Seong Jae get applauded?)
- Because his message was clear? - That's it.
- The script was too good. - He surprised me.
That's a factor.
- My script was good. - His script was too good.
As long as the essence is good,
the lack of skills doesn't become a problem.
(His strength is the quick wit that turns things around.)
This is why the script is...
considered a very important part of a speech.
Of course. The script is the most important.
(To deliver a good message efficiently...)
However, this is important.
- This. - Your eyes.
- Your eyes. - This is very important.
Tomorrow, we will be going to Dankook University.
Let's imagine us standing there.
People will gather around us like this.
200 people could come. 1,000 people could come.
Where would you put your eyes in that case?
(Where should they look in front of hundreds of people?)
- You have to look at everyone. - How?
Would you look at all of the thousand people?
(Will he look at everyone?)
I will choose three points and go back and forth those.
That's the answer.
(Seung Gi was right.)
Here's what you do. When you stand here,
divide the space into four big areas.
1, 2, 3, and 4.
3, 4. Just look at these 4 people.
When I come in to give a lecture,
the students clap their hands and go crazy.
(The students clap their hands and go crazy.)
We have to go crazy.
(They go crazy.)
Dear...
This is how I begin.
At first, people think, "Why isn't he talking?"
But I am not doing nothing.
I'm paying attention to those in the audience.
"These are the kind of people that are here for my lecture."
Look at me.
I must say, that smile just now looked very scary.
He smiled like this.
(Smiling)
- "My dear audience." - "My dear audience."
- It reminded me of "Jigsaw". - "Jigsaw"!
(We can't look at him because we're too scared.)
I've been teaching Korean history for the past 23 years.
I'm Seol Min Seok.
It's very nice to meet you all.
I'm looking at Se Hyeong as I'm talking now.
Do other guys feel excluded?
- No, not really. - Right, that's it.
You just need to focus on 1 person. 1 person in the audience.
That's where your eyes should be, okay?
All right, then. Seong Jae, please demonstrate for other guys.
(Seong Jae will give it another shot and try to look more focused.)
You just entered the venue and saw that there are many people.
(The audience goes wild for him.)
Yuk Seong Jae, Yuk Seong Jae!
(His eyes are focused on one person.)
Hello, I'm Yuk Seong Jae.
Gosh, you look so scary. I'm terrified.
(I only look at you.)
- Good job. - You looked like Joker.
I must say,
you don't need to be paranoid about it.
If it's hard to divide the audience into four sections,
the center of the audience or just behind it wouldn't be bad either.
Just relax...
and gently gaze at the audience. That should be good enough.
(Gently gaze at the center of the audience.)
- Now, it's your turn. - Oh, okay.
(Se Hyeong will give a 1-minute speech!)
But standing in front of people does make me nervous.
(This is harder than it seems.)
(He clasps his hands behind his back just like the master does.)
It's nice to meet you all.
I'm Yang Se Hyeong.
(He copies Master Seol.)
Hello.
(His eyes are focused on the audience.)
(Everyone is already having fun.)
My goodness, you truly are Hwang Jin Yi.
You see, to tell you the truth,
I should not give a lecture.
I don't deserve to give a lecture. It's because...
I'm dumb and ignorant.
But there's an English work...
- I learned in the past. - "English work"? You mean "word"?
- A word. - An English... Yes.
All right.
(The English sentence that changed me,)
(who is ignorant.)
What's he writing?
- "I can..." - Gosh!
I bet he did that on purpose to be funny.
- You mean, "I can do it"? - I'm dumb and ignorant.
(I've already confessed.)
All right.
What's this, guys?
"I can do it."
I can do it.
(I can do it.)
All right, guys. I can do it.
- I can do it! - I can do it.
Keep saying it like a magic spell. Let's say you're under stress.
"What if I can't come up with a good idea?"
(When you're stressed)
I can do it!
You can do it too.
I'm dumb and ignorant.
But you see,
this is the attitude that got me to where I am now.
He's actually pretty persuasive.
Do you get what I'm trying to say? "I can do it."
Just keep telling yourself that, okay?
- Okay. - I can do it!
(I can do it.)
Great job.
(He surely got the message across.)
That was very persuasive for some reason.
We're here for a lecture. We didn't come here to get yelled at.
"You can do it too."
"Hey, you over there. Why can't you do it?"
"This is what got me where I am today."
(He sounded angry.)
That was...
He did come across like that,
but he intentionally made a mistake at the perfect moment...
and even lowered himself. Employing such supplementary devices...
was great.
Also, he picked a very memorable sentence. "I can do it."
I also appreciated his earnest attitude. It was great overall.
- Excellent job. - Thank you.
Let's move on. I have high hopes for this one.
- Sang Yun, your turn. - My gosh.
Everyone did such a good job.
My, he's so tall.
It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Lee Sang Yun.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
- He's very handsome. - First off,
I'd like to point out that all the members, including myself,
are in the arts industry.
- I'd like to ask you guys first. - Okay.
What is the most important thing to you...
regarding your artistic career?
(As an artist, what's most important to you?)
The talents you're born with are obviously important,
- but I think effort matters more. - You think effort is important.
Then what about you, Seong Jae?
The most important thing to me as an artist is...
knowing exactly why my fans like me.
- Understanding fans' desires? - Yes, that's right.
I believe that I have to be happy first...
to be able to make others happy.
- So it's happiness. - Yes.
As for me... "If you want to be an artist,"
"think about how much of your life can be reflected in your art."
It's from something I read in the past,
and that thought is at the center of everything I do as an artist.
(Is he speaking in Korean now?)
Sincerity.
(To me, art means sincerity.)
Yes, sincerity.
(Yawning)
- My gosh, I'm sorry. - This can be boring. I get it.
My apologies.
(All I know is "I can do it.")
- Shall we go to an internet cafe? - Shall we?
(These hardcore gamers find this boring.)
I think this is what makes each of us so uniquely charming...
and why our show is doing so well.
All of us are very different.
I wasn't expecting this sudden turn.
All of our viewers must have different perspectives.
And each of us is working in this industry with a unique perspective.
- I think... - I'm getting goose bumps!
that's why everyone watches our show.
(That's what makes us one.)
(Even the way he ended it was so inspiring.)
- He totally surprised me. - Oh, my.
Our answers really show our personalities.
I'd be able to tell who said what without...
- listening to this conversation. - I think I can figure it out too.
- Exactly. - Art.
- What did you think of it? - It was perfect.
- It was perfect? - Yes, it was.
Everything from his gaze and diction to his voice.
And what really stood out was...
You all saw how he asked questions, right?
"What do you think? What's your thought on it?" Asking questions...
really drew us in.
Of course, he encountered an obstacle along the way.
- I yawned. - We found it boring.
- I was sleepy. - Even when the audience did that,
he didn't get discouraged at all. Instead, he surprised us all.
Hence, I'd say he can call himself a lecturer right away.
I think that it was perfect.
(His speech was perfect.)
Now, this is the last skill you guys need to learn.
It's reenactment.
- Reenactment? - Yes, reenactment.
Could you give us an example?
For example, it's something like this.
Admiral Yi Sun Sin went to the Myeongnyang Strait with 12 ships,
but he was encountered with 300 Japanese warships when he got there.
(In the Battle of Myeongnyang, Admiral Yi Sun Sin...)
(had to fight against over 300 Japanese ships with 12 ships.)
His soldiers said they'd fight with him to beat the Japanese,
but he was the only one proceeding after he shouted, "Attack!"
(His subordinates were scared.)
No one came with him.
(Yi Sun Sin was alone.)
What would you do if you were him?
(What did Yi Sun Sin do?)
Admiral Yi fought alone...
against the Japanese warships.
(He fought alone against the Japanese.)
Wholeheartedly moved by that,
Admiral Ahn Wee and Kim Eung Ham join him...
with their ships in tears.
"Admiral Yi, let's die together!" They join him in the battle.
And this is what Admiral Yi said right in that moment.
(What Admiral Yi Sun Sin said right in that moment)
"Hey, Kim Eung Ham! Get over here. Come here!"
"You fool. I'd kill you right now if I could,"
"but I'm going to give you another chance instead."
"Let's fight and die together."
"Yes, sir!" Then they fought together.
That's how you can describe the situation.
Like what you just did, right?
- That totally drew me in. - Seriously.
- That wasn't really acting. - Right.
I simply reenacted the situation.
In order to do this, you need to immerse yourself in the situation.
You must become Yi Sun Sin.
(You need to be immersed in it first.)
As you all know, I studied theater and film in university.
But when I started teaching,
I felt that it was actually a big disadvantage.
It was like trauma.
So I started wondering.
"What are some of the things..."
"that elite university graduates and history majors can't do?"
I came up with this after wondering what it is that only I can do.
- Turning history... - I see.
into stories about struggles...
and making my students get immersed in them.
(He tells vivid stories about historical events.)
You guys don't need to do exactly what I do.
- That'd only make you my copycat. - Right.
- We need our own unique... - Yes, you need to make it your own.
- Gosh, this isn't easy. - Yes, it's not easy at all.
(My own unique method?)
Then let's think about our audience. Whom will we meet tomorrow?
- Are we meeting moms? - No.
- Are we meeting soldiers? - No.
- Are we meeting the elderly? - No.
- Are we meeting politicians? - No.
Is it for employees of a company? Is it about leadership?
- Whom are we meeting tomorrow? - Female students.
(Female students)
Female students.
(Happy)
(Young, innocent female college students...)
(who stroll around the campus)
- And male students too. - Male students too.
- We'll meet the youth. - The youth.
- The youth. - The youth.
This is extremely important.
You must figure out the audience's needs.
- Needs? - Yes.
Let's say Seung Gi's back is itchy.
Will he like it if I scratch his knee for him?
We have to talk about what they want to hear.
(Talk about what they want to hear.)
What they want to hear from us.
What would it be?
That should be our topic.
(What would the youth want to hear from us?)
Then...
You must not think of tomorrow's lecture as a joke.
- Right. - Yes.
It's fine you are bad at it.
When you get nervous, your upper lip sticks to your teeth like this.
It's fine if you become like this.
It's fine if your eyes get lost.
- Like this? - That's it.
Hello. I am Yang Se Hyung.
Today, I... I don't know.
Yes. That's exactly it.
- I was too nervous. - That's fine.
What's important is that you shouldn't sound insincere.
Right. Okay.
This is for the youths.
Brainstorm ideas. Think of the keywords.
(What story can we tell them?)
Also, a master never reveals everything.
So the person who becomes my roommate...
will be taught a skill I didn't tell you about here.
This skill will make the audience get absorbed in your story.
Only the person who becomes my roommate...
will get to learn about it.
(He will hand down his special lethal move.)
I want it really badly.
- You've got a lethal technique. - That's not fair.
The game is over...
once you use this technique. They will get completely absorbed.
Let's play a game right away.
Like I said earlier,
since the weighing scale is the master's trademark,
it will be nice to do something with it.
The scale?
We can guess the weight of something.
That sounds like a good idea.
We can try to get as close to 80kg as possible.
- That's a good idea. - 80kg.
- We can get some things. - We will get things.
- That's a great idea. - So the person...
who gets as closest to 80kg will get to...
share...
(Is he reviewing how to talk during the speech?)
the room with the master.
("I won't share the room with someone who forgot the weight.")
Okay.
The person who gets closest to 80kg wins.
Can we start looking for things now?
Have you thoroughly checked things?
I need 5.5kg.
- I need about 6.7kg. - Wait.
5.5kg?
- You are going to... - 6.7kg...
make a great mistake.
I am very proficient...
(He perfectly copies the master.)
at measuring weight.
"How Not To Be Wrong". This is... Right.
This book will tell me how to not get the weight wrong.
I think this weighs about...
(He uses the hand scale to physically measure the weight.)
I think it weighs about 5kg. This must be...
There are a lot of books here.
(Master Seol Se Hyung is checking the weight of the luggage.)
This must weigh about 3kg.
(He looks at Sang Yun.)
- I've decided. This is it. - This...
(Is he already done?)
Yes.
(Meanwhile,)
(what is Seung Gi doing?)
(A rice cooker?)
When I was...
wearing the military gear...
(Sergeant Lee is back.)
Perfect.
(He brings back the memory of that day.)
I don't think it will weigh 5kg.
Let's think of the weights at gym.
(Ouch)
(This pain is nothing if I can learn the lethal technique.)
This weighs more than 8kg.
I'm ready.
I have a really good feeling about this.
I measured it perfectly. I'm ready.
I'm ready. It's perfect.
It's 3kg, 2.5kg, and 1kg. It's exactly 6.5kg.
This is 6.5kg.
- What are those books? - How many kilograms do you need?
- I need 6.7kg. - 6.7kg?
I need 5.5kg, so I picked up this.
The books must be heavier.
(I don't think so.)
I think that's not enough.
I need 8kg, and I brought all of these.
My intuition isn't wrong. How many kilograms do you need?
I need 12 to 13kg.
(Se Hyung needs 12.5kg, and Sang Yun needs 6.7kg.)
(He compares the two.)
Wait. Wait.
- This is 12.5kg? - I...
From my calculation, these weigh 3kg, 2.5kg, and 1kg.
- So it's 6.5kg in total. - It will never be that heavy.
- That won't even be close. - That won't even get close.
- By the way, this is quite heavy. - Sang Yun,
I came back to Korea yesterday, you know?
And they weighed my luggage.
You have to weigh your luggage before you check it. So I know.
- This is quite heavy. - All right.
Give it a go.
I think you will be far from where you need to be.
Here we go. 1, 2, 3.
(The Shocking Result from Lee Sang Yun... )
(will be revealed in Part 2)
Here we go. 1, 2, 3.
(Please)
(What is the result?)
- 76kg. See? - We told you it's not enough.
76kg. See?
Really?
Books aren't that heavy.
- Does this make sense? - You need more.
Let's calculate.
- How much does that weigh? - I am 73.3kg.
- It's just over 2kg. - Are these that light?
Are those that light?
(The weight of knowledge was much lighter than I thought.)
All right. Go up.
Okay.
That's such a unique combination of things.
(He cleared the kitchen.)
Here we go.
(Will his effort come to fruition?)
Lift it.
It's 78.4kg.
All these things?
How many kilograms are these then?
- This is 5... - 5.5kg. You lack 1.6kg.
Are these that light?
(It's a game over for me, isn't it?)
Se Hyung, what was your goal weight?
- 12.5kg. - 12.5kg.
- Does it make sense? - You have to lift it.
- I will lift it like this. - Okay.
All right. 1, 2, 3. Lift it.
(His thorough research on weight made him more accurate.)
I am very proficient at measuring weight.
(What is his result?)
- 80.4kg. - No way.
- He got it. - It's 80.4kg.
- It's 0.4kg off. - It's 80.4kg.
- This is amazing. - 0.4kg.
0.4kg.
It's 80.4kg.
Is it really that heavy?
This must weigh about 13kg.
Right? I told you.
(Se Hyung is currently winning. His weight was off by only 0.4kg.)
It's almost certain that I am going to win.
It's decided.
I needed 12 to 13kg.
(Seung Gi checks the rice cooker.)
I can't decide whether or not I should take this out.
I think it will be too light without the pot inside.
It's packed inside, so it's quite heavy.
(After thinking for a long time, he ends up putting it back in.)
Okay. Let's do it.
I think this is not even close to being enough.
- I think... - I think this will be 5kg.
When I was carrying the military gear in the army,
it weighed about this much.
(But that's just a rice cooker.)
Gosh. It has to work.
(Sergeant Lee is carrying a rice cooker.)
All right. Are you all set?
(Sergeant Lee Seung Gi...)
(versus Scale Seol Se Hyung)
(Which of them will be the one to learn the lethal move?)
Okay.
81.3kg.
It weighs so much.
You should've taken out the pot inside.
(He should've taken out the pot inside.)
Let me try it without the pot inside.
Let's see what it would've been like.
It's exactly 80kg.
(Without the inner pot,)
(how much would Seung Gi and the rice cooker weigh?)
- It's 80kg. - 80kg.
- It's 80kg. - My goodness.
- That was it. - It could've been 80kg.
It would've been 80kg if he took the pot out.
(He could've gotten the chance to learn the lethal technique.)
My gosh.
- This is... - This is crazy.
It's so annoying. I should've taken it out.
Why did I put that in there?
So this is 1kg.
- That's 1kg. - This is 1kg.
By the way, this is... I mean this.
I will never tell you about what I learn.
(He will never tell them about the lethal technique.)
Once he gives me tips on where to look or how to look,
there will be a big gap...
between you and me. Do you get it?
("I won't share the room with someone who forgot the weight.")
Only if I took this out...
(What is the lethal technique Se Hyeong will be learning?)
I underestimated my strength.
A while ago, I told you that it was like...
- watching a magic show. - Yes.
Anyway, I will tell you what the skill is.
(This skill of Master Seol will make Se Hyeong a magician too.)
(When you want something desperately, it happens.)
(He desperately wants to be cheered by female college students.)
Ask a question that's related to...
your speech topic.
(The skill is to ask a question related to the topic.)
You feel a little sleepy,
and the teacher asks you a question.
"Who knows the answer to this?"
When they know the answer,
the students' hearts start to beat.
Inside their heads, they think,
"I know the answer. Is this the right answer?"
"What if I get it wrong?"
They think of all kinds of things, and their hearts pound like crazy.
(By throwing a question, increase the tension.)
What if someone gets the answer?
Give the person a gift.
(Reward the person who gets the answer.)
- You make them participate. - You make them participate. Great.
Right.
That's the skill.
It's a skill.
It's like MSG.
You are amazing.
(The master is the best.)
(What?)
(They failed to take the special lesson of Master Seol.)
(So they all gathered in front of the master's room...)
(and tried to eavesdrop.)
(What are they saying?)
(In the perfectly soundproof room, the lesson continued all night.)
- Can you hear it? - No.
Can you hear anything?
I heard "The best tip". I couldn't hear after that.
(The D-day has come.)
(And it's time to showcase the master's know-hows.)
(People unexpectedly swarm in,)
(and they lose their minds.)
(Who will give the best speech?)
(Thinking about giving the lecture makes their hearts beat fast.)
The thought of giving a lecture is really nerve-racking.
- I know. - We are doomed.
(Dankook University is 10 minutes away.)
Making a speech is not an easy thing to do.
I know.
People might have this assumption.
Because we are TV personalities,
they might assume that we are good at it.
That's what worries me.
(The closer they get, the colder their hands and feet get.)
I am going mad right now.
(The shorter the distance gets, the drier their mouths get.)
The introduction is important.
What should I say?
(The introduction will determine whether it succeeds or not.)
Why can't I even introduce myself?
I lived on this land for 120 years.
- 120 years? - I was so nervous...
that I spoke nonsense.
(He just spoke nonsense.)
There's something wrong with me. I am acting strange.
- That was very unlike you. - I wasn't myself.
(How can I introduce myself?)
What should I say?
- I have an idea. - What is it?
My family is originally from Suji.
Dankook University belongs to Suji-gu.
- Right, it does. - Yes.
- You are the son of Suji. - I am the son of Suji.
You are.
- You said you were a son of Suwon. - Last time, it was Suwon.
I go to school in Suwon, so I am still the son of Suwon.
(Suji bore me and Suwon raised me.)
Come on.
He's going to approach them as a friend.
I will approach them as a rookie.
As a rookie?
They are rookies to the society, and I am a rookie variety show star.
(It will be the meeting of the rookies.)
- That's great. - That's good, Sang Yun.
I am a rookie just like you.
- That's a good one. - They can sympathize with me.
Sympathy is good.
The most important thing to remember is that...
you are going there to communicate with them.
(It's time to talk and communicate with each other.)
That makes me feel even more pressured.
(What should they talk about...)
(with the young college students?)
This is crazy.
Is this the school?
- I think we are here. - Are we here?
(Sighing)
(Why is the campus...)
(so grand?)
(The students...)
(look too smart.)
There are so many students.
This is crazy.
Hello.
You are good.
Yang Se Hyeong is in here.
(He succeeds to grab their attention.)
Let's get off the car fast.
- How many people would come? - The less the better.
The less the better?
(They will go and tell people about the lecture.)
The less the better.
(How many people will gather?)
At the Waterfall Park,
we are going to hold a small performance.
When you say "performance", it sounds like we have to sing.
- A lecture. - We are going to hold a lecture.
It will be a street lecture.
My heart is pounding like crazy.
I can't do this. I can't.
I really can't. Did you see people?
Are there a lot of people?
(How can he be already so nervous?)
- There are so many students. - Yes.
(My heart...)
There are a lot of students.
Come in. I went in there alone.
Come on. Come with me.
At 1:30pm, we want to...
talk to you at the Waterfall Park.
(Se Hyeong has performed on stage countless times.)
Enjoy your meal for now.
If you have time, come and join us.
- Okay. - Okay.
(He laughs awkwardly.)
(Will their lecture go well today?)
- By the way... - I think a lot of people will come.
But I am really worried.
What if too many people come?
- This is a problem. - At 1:30pm,
we will give a lecture at the Waterfall Park.
My heart is pounding like crazy.
There will be more people than we think.
Feel my heart.
(People start to gather.)
So many people came.
- No way. - So many people came.
This is crazy. My gosh.
I'm in a big trouble.
- So many people came. - My gosh.
This is bad.
(From the monitor, the lecture venue looks more frightening.)
What do we do?
(What if more people gather?)
This is crazy.
You feel more pressured now that more people have come.
I am doomed.
Three rows would be perfect.
- At first... - Please be the host.
- What? - You will be the host.
- What do you mean? - You will present the event.
You have to tell them what we are going to do today.
You should ask them to open their hearts...
and talk to you about their youth. It will be titled "Youth Theater".
- "Youth Theater". - I can't take in anything.
- My goodness. - Se Hyeong will go first.
I think...
Seong Jae should go next.
Yes. I also think I should go next.
- It's better to get it done. - Seong Jae...
Seong Jae is...
really worried that this lecture will expose him...
- hitting the bottom. - Yes.
- He's going to move away from Suji. - Really?
If this goes bad, I will leave Suji.
You'll be next.
By this time, Se Hyung and Seong Jae would have lifted up the mood.
Someone needs to come in and calm them down a little.
How do you know that I will lift up the mood?
I honestly think... I guarantee you that...
I won't be able to lift up the mood.
Breaking the ice is completely different from giving a lecture.
For five minutes, you should break the ice completely.
That way, you will be less nervous.
- Then you can give your speech. - Se Hyung, you can do it.
You don't know anything, Master.
You don't know how I feel right now.
If I could break the ice in just five minutes,
I wouldn't be here. I would be somewhere higher.
I am not at that level, sir. I am sorry,
but luck got me here.
Gosh.
He's so funny.
He's really nervous today.
- Me? - You are really nervous today.
I am not nervous. I feel embarrassed.
Se Hyung, let's give it a try.
I will do it. But...
- You go first. - Yes.
But I can't pretend like this is not hard.
I am just expressing how hard it is for me.
- Of course. - Yes. I'm scared.
I am scared.
Seong Jae and Sang Yun will keep the balance.
Then the ace will come out.
And he will completely set the venue on fire.
After that, you will introduce your master.
"Do you know who our master is?"
I will come out then.
I can't hear anything.
(He's the first speaker, the host, and the ice breaker.)
(More students gather around.)
(He's nervous.)
(They go over their script.)
(He's just being nervous.)
Tell us when you are ready.
(It's time to head to the venue.)
Wait. I am peeing my pants right now.
(Laughing)
- You will be fine. - I'll go now.
Let's cheer each other up before we start.
For the successful street lecture...
of All the Butlers.
1, 2, 3.
- Go, team! - Go, team!
Go, Se Hyung! You can do well.
- You can do it. - You can do it.
This is mad.
(Se Hyung is carrying a heavier load.)
Why does he look unusually small today?
Seriously. Why does he look so small today?
He looks really small today.
(He's about to disappear into the vanishing point.)
Se Hyung.
It will all pass soon.
This will pass too.
As always.
Time passes.
(The youths kept their promises they made to the members.)
(He's about to meet them for the first time.)
[VIU Ver] E28 Master in the House / All the Butlers "Giving a Lecture" -= Ruo Xi =-
(Se Hyeong arrives, feeling all nervous.)
(The audience excitedly cheers for him to welcome him.)
(There are so many students!)
(Even though he was scared of facing the audience,)
(he's feeling calmer now that he's met them.)
My goodness.
- Look, they're going wild. - Goodness.
(The audience is so excited.)
Se Hyeong is very popular among college students these days.
- He's so popular. - I can see that.
Look at him trying to charm the audience.
(I'm charming.)
- Look at that pose. - Yes, that pose.
- Look at him. - Yes, that's it. Keep it up.
All right, well...
It's nice to meet you all.
(Screaming)
I'm comedian Yang Se Hyeong. Hello, everyone.
(Master Seol's tips are so effective.)
On my way up here, I was extremely nervous and worried.
To tell you the truth,
when I go up on stage as a comedian,
I rarely get nervous or anxious.
I just have to go on stage...
and let out my crazy energy.
After that, I can go home at ease.
But this is a little...
I feel as if I'm trying to do something I shouldn't be doing.
I'm also worried that I might sound obnoxious.
He's gazing at them warmly. It's good.
I was expecting about three rows of people.
I was going to relax and crack jokes along the way,
but you guys are so energetic.
It must be because you attend Dankook University.
It's really...
(Applauding half-heartedly)
If you don't want to applaud, please just go home.
- That was a nice one. - Yes, jokes like that are good.
It breaks the ice.
Since it's such a hot day...
I'm going to give you a quiz first.
The person who gets the right answer...
will receive this mini fan as a prize.
Oh, that must've been it.
(That was his secret weapon!)
- The feedback is always good. - Did you...
- Did you tell him to do that? - It always works.
I signed it.
I also wrote a short note underneath my autograph.
- I wrote a short message. - I want it too.
Here's the question.
What score did I get on the college entrance exam?
(What was Se Hyeong's score out of 400?)
88.
(No way.)
(His eyes are quivering.)
- What did you say? - I said 88.
(She repeats her answer.)
Bingo. That is the correct answer.
(It's surprising that he got 88.)
I didn't think any of you would know the answer.
Come on out, please.
She must be Se Hyeong's fan.
I heard about it on "Two Man Show".
When I used to host the radio show, "Two Man Show"?
(She heard about it on his radio show.)
My gosh.
She must be my... She used to listen to my radio show.
Thank you very much.
She took the gift and didn't even make eye contact with me.
The exam was out of 400 points back then.
I wanted to find out my level, so I really did my best on the exam.
(But the result was...)
But I scored 88 out of 400.
When I saw my score, I just thought it was hilarious.
I was like, "Okay! That's fine." I laughed it off.
The fact that I, who scored 88 out of 400 on the college entrance exam,
am speaking in front of you who study so hard...
makes me feel very embarrassed and sorry.
However, as a comedian,
I think I rank pretty high up.
(We agree!)
When I go out for drinks with my fellow comedians,
I half-jokingly say that...
I'm confident I can beat them all...
if we have a comedy battle.
I even say that I can take everyone down.
And that's what I want to talk about today.
- His eyes look very natural. - His gaze is attentive.
He hasn't stammered. His diction is good too.
Here's the thing.
It's something good about being ignorant and dumb.
When I hear inspiring quotes or phrases,
they get engraved on my mind because there isn't much in my head.
I think he's a painter from the 16th century.
You all know the artist, Michelangelo, right?
He kept painting on a corner of a wall.
One day, his friend visits him and says this.
"Hey, let's go out and have a drink together."
But Michelangelo refused.
Then his friend goes, "Hey, that painting in the corner..."
"isn't even really visible."
"No one will even know. Why are you spending so much time on it?"
And this was Michelangelo's answer.
"Because I know."
He said that he does it because he knows.
That really resonated with me.
Frankly, I think that anyone can work hard...
when others are watching.
Just to show people, you know.
When comedians...
gather to brainstorm together,
we encourage each other and come up with ideas.
But when no one is around,
when no one is paying attention,
and only I know what I'm doing...
Making effort at such times is...
(It makes all the difference.)
I personally think that's very important.
Comedians like to drink and spend time with their girlfriends.
But I didn't do any of that.
(I didn't even date anyone.)
That's why I was able to come up with more ideas,
and that's why I can beat others.
You just have to restrain yourself a little.
(That's how he can shine on stage despite his low exam score.)
What matters isn't what you do when others are watching,
but what you do when you're alone.
Yang Geu Rae, I'm rooting for you!
You must make effort when no one but yourself is watching.
And you must work harder than others do.
The results were good when I did all of that.
It's simple, but that's my philosophy.
That's really all there is.
(That's really all I do.)
That's all I believe in.
(The thoughtful message from the simpleminded guy, Se Hyeong)
I know how much effort I've made.
(I know how much effort I've made.)
Thank you for listening to my speech.
(We got to see his serious side.)
I'm so embarrassed now.
That is Se Hyeong indeed.
Speaking sincerely about what he's been thinking and feeling...
really captivated the students.
Anyway, I should wrap up here.
Let's meet the next speaker now.
- Wish me luck. - You got this!
(The second speaker, Yuk Seong Jae)
Seong Jae, you can do it. You'll do a great job.
I'm in trouble. I'm so doomed.
Seong Jae, you can do this.
What's the topic of your lecture?
It's groundless confidence.
I've never given a lecture before.
Even though I've never done it before,
I think my lecture will be amazing. What do you call this?
This is groundless confidence.
Okay.
Please welcome Yuk Seong Jae.
(The audience is going wild.)
(Trying not to look nervous)
(He gives high fives to appear relaxed.)
(He enters the stage confidently.)
- Good work, Se Hyeong. - Thanks.
(Gazing)
- The eyes. - Oh, look at his eyes!
- Nice. - Great. This is excellent.
He's making eye contact.
(My, those eyes.)
I know, right?
Hello, friends.
Some of you must be younger or older than me as well.
Your school, Dankook University, is in Suji-gu, right?
- Yes! - Yes!
- I'm from Suji. - Suji.
(I'm from Suji.)
Hello, everyone. I'm the son of Suji-gu, Yuk Seong Jae.
(He introduced himself just as he practiced.)
- He can run for election. - Yes, he totally can.
- He's all prepared. - My gosh.
You all know my group, BTOB, right?
- Yes! - Yes!
We actually released a new album yesterday.
Do any of you know the title of our new song?
- "Only One for Me"! - "Only One for Me"!
Yes, you're the only one for me too.
(BTOB gained 30 more fans.)
That's right. It's "Only One for Me".
(He even flaunts his singing skills.)
That's how the song goes.
- He's not nervous. - You're right.
- He's not nervous! - He's not nervous at all.
He's not nervous at all.
Seong Jae is good. He's doing a great job.
I don't really want to call this a lecture.
It'll be more like communicating with each other.
It's not like I'm...
more experienced than you guys are.
I'm neither smarter nor that much older than you.
This is good. He's telling them that it'll be about sharing.
- They're friends, you know. - I see.
"Let's share our thoughts, friends. I'm not here to teach you."
It's about sharing.
Gosh, this is great.
Our generation, I mean... Yuk Seong Jae... What am I saying?
All of you, students of Dankook University...
(As soon as the lecture begins)
Pardon? What did you say?
(He's nervous again.)
- You're cute. - Oh, thank you.
(Even the students' quiet whispers make him...)
Where was I? What was I saying?
(close to having a nervous breakdown.)
(He was doing so well. Why is he suddenly so nervous?)
To be honest, I don't even know what I'm saying right now.
It's been almost seven years since I've performed on stage,
but I still get nervous and feel uncomfortable.
Which is why I stare at the floor a lot when I'm on stage.
However, I have my own way to mitigate it.
To ease up...
(Blabbering)
Here are some helpful tips to ease your tension.
I still use it now.
You can use it on your interviews,
or on stage.
Apparently, when you touch other people,
you will find yourself feeling less nervous.
You can hold hands with the person sitting next to you,
or even hug someone beside you.
It will definitely help you ease up.
But what's more interesting is that...
the same thing happens when you touch your own skin.
So this is what I do.
(Patting himself)
It's okay, Seong Jae. You can do this.
You are all grown up. Everything will be fine, Seong Jae.
(He's so cute.)
When I do this before I go on stage...
It might be just a placebo effect, but it really helps.
You should try it too.
It really does. This is just a simple tip...
I wanted to share with you guys.
In my opinion, people at my age including myself...
are having concerns regarding...
low confidence.
I personally think that I have low confidence too,
which is why I want to tell you about this.
It's called groundless confidence.
Confidence without ground.
From time to time, this makes a great synergy effect.
We all live in...
a similar era. We are the same generation.
Suppose the groundless confidence that we have in the present day...
continues on to the future.
Depending on the outcome in the future,
it could become a well-founded confidence.
Am I right?
Even though it might start as a groundless confidence,
we should try to have some confidence.
It will become concrete in the future eventually.
That's true!
(Groundless confidence will have its basis in the future.)
Yes.
(Groundless confidence is the start of having foundation in the future.)
In my opinion, this is the best speech that can be delivered...
from Seong Jae who is not a professional.
(Despite the fact that Seong Jae was nervous and blabbered,)
He can convey the message because he's young and he knows how to...
communicate with people his age.
(conveying his message was possible because he's in the same page.)
- It's making me more nervous. - I agree.
- I need to check mine too. - I can't focus on his speech.
- It's my turn now. - I wasn't listening at all.
- His speech is over now. - Okay.
- That was great. - Go Yuk Seong Jae!
Go Yuk Seong Jae!
That was Yuk Seong Jae.
What a speech.
(He wants to hide in the water.)
Don't worry. He won't risk his life.
That's right.
Next up, we are very...
glad that he is here with us.
Give it up for Lee Sang Yun.
(He's so handsome.)
(He's pretending not to be nervous...)
(because of the warm welcome from the audience.)
(He's nervous,)
(but he's also excited at the same time.)
- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
I'm a freshman to the variety show,
Just like you guys are freshmen to the society.
I'm Lee Sang Yun and I'm here to meet you guys.
(It's nice to meet you.)
I saw from back there.
The final exam is until tomorrow, am I right?
There are so many of you though it's not over yet.
Did everyone do well on the final exams?
- No. - Really?
No one does. No one really does.
He's approaching them with their interest which is the final exam.
- It's their interest at the moment. - The most.
- Because it's final exam period. - Yes.
Why do we feel bad when we don't do so well on the exam?
Why do you guys feel bad? What's the reason behind it?
- Because of the grades. - The grades.
Why do we get upset when we have a bad GPA?
- Because we won't get hired. - We can't get hired.
Because we can't get a job. That's the majority of the case.
- He's using the Socrates approach. - Yes.
He's getting answers by constantly asking them.
It's a method to get the answers through questioning oneself.
- That's what Socrates used? - Just like that.
Job searching is definitely the biggest concern for students.
Though I am appearing in a variety show right now,
do you guys know what I originally do for a living?
- You're an actor. - That's right. I act for a living.
When I first decided to become an actor,
I wasn't studying acting.
When I first decided to start acting,
I was standing at a point far behind from where you guys stand...
when you mess up your exam.
I just challenged myself.
Only because I wanted to act.
Since that decision,
I started getting bad grades.
I started to get upset like you guys.
Also, I felt like I was at my limitations.
Just like you guys are so concerned about getting hired,
I was concerned about whether or not I could have my career as an actor.
At that point, all I could do...
was to struggle.
I didn't study or act.
I tried to look for a something elsewhere...
that could help me in acting.
I tried many different things. I deviated from my daily routine.
I travelled to many different places.
I tried to do some eccentricities.
While I was going through all that,
I met this show "All the Butlers."
Did you guys all get the chance watch the show?
Did you see me dance and everything?
Yes.
You probably saw me wearing a wig with a runny nose.
(His way of looking for an answer through struggling and trying.)
Every time.
The things I had to do were challenging.
I felt very embarrassed and I really didn't want to do it.
But because it was my decision,
I had to confront it and challenge myself.
The interesting part is that after I tried, I wanted to become better.
As I paid so much attention to other stuff apart from acting,
my concerns towards my career in acting have...
gradually decreased.
This has led me to a broader perspective of life.
I was able to feel more comfortable,
and I could enjoy acting more than before.
That's what happened to me.
So I came up with an idea.
When you're focused on something so much,
you can become shortsighted and miss out what's really important.
That's what I realized.
What I want to say is that if you guys are upset over job searching...
and bad grades from the exam,
try to look at other aspects in life...
other than studying.
I think that might be helpful.
If you get back to studying from somewhere else,
you could feel something new that...
you couldn't before.
It could be the same formula or a sentence that...
you saw every day,
but it might seem different.
I believe that the same formula could appear differently.
So I hope that you guys could get...
the chance to look what's around you,
and come back to what you were doing afterwards.
That what I wanted to tell you.
(To all the young people who are worried about so many things,)
(you might be able to broaden your perspective if you look around.)
- That was a very ideal speech. - It definitely was.
He's a professional.
I'm getting so nervous especially because I'm going last.
To be honest, I'm not worried about you.
- Really? - You're Lee Seung Gi.
- You're Lee Seung Gi. - I'm your favorite, right?
Tell me I'm your favorite.
(I'm your favorite, right?)
I don't have any preferences but...
I'm not your least favorite, right?
That's right.
- You're the best. - Thank you.
Okay. I have my confidence back.
Last but not least,
I'm sure you guys are aware. He's a singer,
he's an actor.
He's also appearing in variety shows.
Give it up for Lee Seung Gi.
(He's ready to become a good speaker as well.)
(The last speaker will be Lee Seung Gi.)
(He's so handsome.)
(The warm welcome is boosting his confidence.)
Look how excited they are to see Seung Gi.
I knew it.
This is what I don't like about him.
What? Why?
Only if I went last.
Only if I went last...
Then I would've thought about doing this too.
(I would've done it too.)
(Gosh, I'm angry.)
Shall we go backstage now?
- All right, okay. - Yes, let's go.
Wait, give me a sign if I go on for too long.
What do you want me to do? Shall I spit?
- No, don't do that. - I don't know...
Bite my leg. Bite me on the leg.
- What? - Bite me on the leg.
- After crawling like this? - Yes, like this.
All right.
Hello, it's nice to meet you all.
(They've livened up the atmosphere.)
(Super excited)
Since making my professional debut back in 2004,
I've been working hard in the variety show world,
the music world, and the acting world for the past 15 years or so.
I've been doing my best in all three domains.
I'm the man who wants to excel in all three domains, Lee Seung Gi.
(The man who wants to excel in all three)
(They are already into Seung Gi.)
What's your biggest concern these days?
- Finding a job. - Finding a job.
Getting a job.
Yes, you at the back. The one with a hat.
- Dating! - Dating?
That's my concern as well.
(I can totally relate to that.)
It always concerns me.
All right, dating and finding a job.
- Here! - What else?
- Enlisting in the military! - Military service.
(I successfully completed my military service.)
Don't worry. Don't worry at all.
(Don't you worry.)
I guess you have to do it soon.
I was worried too,
but everyone can get through it. You'll be fine.
You can do it.
I thought hard about what my topic should be...
because it has to be something that you guys can relate to.
After long, careful consideration, I managed to pick a topic.
To tell you the truth,
it's a topic that I didn't really want to talk about.
I didn't want people to find out that I've been...
thinking and feeling these things.
But for today's speech,
I thought I should choose a topic...
about realistic concerns that you guys and I have in common.
And the topic I chose based on that is...
(King's Speech)
It's anxiety. Anxiety.
(Seung Gi's anxiety?)
The Chinese characters literally mean "not comfortable".
In other words, it refers to when you're not at ease.
The various concerns that you guys mentioned earlier...
are putting you in that state...
of psychological discomfort.
Such anxiety and concerns those in their 20s experience...
are considered by some as nothing unusual.
There's even a saying that goes, "Youth, it's painful."
Do you think that your anxiety will be completely gone...
when you're older and more experienced?
My answer is, "Definitely not."
I've been a celebrity for about 15 years,
and I'm constantly haunted by anxiety and concerns...
about different things at different depths.
When I made a comeback after completing my military service...
(He was anxious back then.)
Think about how anxious I must've been back then.
I took a two-year hiatus.
"Will people be still interested in me and love me...
as much as they used to when I make a comeback?"
You all know Kang Ho Dong, right?
- Yes. - For the first time ever,
I called him with a concern.
(He turned to Ho Dong for advice.)
I said, "Ho Dong, I have many concerns at the moment."
He asked me what they were.
I said, "I'm only realizing now the weight of responsibility..."
"and pressure you've had to endure..."
"on the path that you've been."
(He told him about his anxiety and concerns.)
Then I asked him what he thinks I should do.
And this is what he told me.
(What Ho Dong said to Seung Gi)
He started laughing and said,
"The fact that you called me to talk about your anxiety..."
"and concerns about such matters..."
"is proof that you are growing,"
"and it tells me that you're on the right track."
But at the same time,
Ho Dong said this too.
"As celebrities, we want respect and validation from the public."
"But getting to that point..."
"will probably take a lot longer than you're expecting."
"It'll happen when you're not even thinking about it."
"After putting in about 5 to 10 years of hard work,"
"it'll come to you like a gift."
That's what Ho Dong told me.
It really resonated with me because...
I think my anxiety stemmed from wanting to do a good job.
I wanted to do a very good job and attain recognition quickly.
But Ho Dong's advice made me realize that...
I was probably anxious because I wanted to get there fast.
I wanted to become successful...
and get the recognition I deserve quickly.
But you're most anxious...
when you're not doing anything.
Then, your anxiety will haunt you ceaselessly.
The same goes for me. After completing my military service...
"How should I make a comeback?"
"Should it be a variety show? Or should I release a new album?"
Had I kept thinking and fussing over such details,
I wouldn't have gotten anything done.
But instead, I jumped right into whatever came my way.
Even if...
the variety show fails and the drama doesn't do well...
People will criticize me, of course.
"Lee Seung Gi took two years off to serve in the military."
"His career can't be the same after such a hiatus."
Even though I had many concerns,
I took my first step. I started a new drama as well as a variety show.
That actually helped me forget about my anxiety.
I stopped questioning myself, "Will things go well or not?"
If you're feeling anxious because of your concerns,
I suggest you take action first.
I'm certain that such courage will make you grow as a person.
(We're most anxious when we're not doing anything about our concerns.)
(The first step to reducing anxiety is taking action.)
(To all anxious youths, Stop worrying and take your first step!)
Thanks to our master, we had...
this incredible opportunity to come here...
and meet you guys like this.
In addition, he's your alumnus.
(Who is he?)
- He's your alumnus. - Let's meet him now. Come on out.
(The students had no idea about the master)
(Amazing)
(The students are going wild for the star instructor.)
(They didn't expect to meet this alumnus of theirs today.)
Seung Gi already did that earlier.
(Their alumnus whom they've only seen online is here.)
Please come to the center.
(He's right before my eyes now.)
Dear...
(Screaming)
(I just got goose bumps.)
Dear Dankook University students.
The future leaders of Korea.
The youths of this country.
(Every word he utters...)
(makes their hearts flutter.)
It's so nice to meet you all. I've been teaching history...
for the past 23 years. I'm Seol Min Seok.
(To students, he's a lecturer...)
(who makes history fun.)
You have such an inspiring alumnus. I'm jealous.
I'd like to...
(To the members, he's a master...)
(who taught them how to communicate.)
Last but not least, there's something...
I'd like to emphasize to you all.
Turning a crisis into an opportunity...
isn't something that's only possible in the stories...
of historical figures such as Jeong Do Jeon or Yi Sun Sin.
It can be your story too.
(Don't succumb to reality.)
Everyone, don't lose your dreams.
I hope you can always think and talk...
about your future. I love you all.
Please give him a big hand.
(You can be the hero in your story.)
(Turn a crisis into an opportunity!)
The youth of this country, hurrah!
- Hurrah! - Hurrah!
(A day in your life is a page of your history.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Please remember the advice. - Thank you, thank you.
Keep it up! You can do it.
(Groundless confidence! You're the only one for me.)
(You uplifted my spirits. Thank you for your advice.)
(Hearing about all of your efforts deeply moved me.)
(Your lecture deeply resonated with me.)
(Take a step back and see the overall picture! Thank you.)
(We're most anxious when we do nothing. I'll take action!)
(The fact that I'm thinking about my anxiety is proof...)
(that I'm growing.)
(The students chose Seung Gi as the best lecturer.)
(At the start of this rainy season,)
(a new master comes to us.)
(The rain can be this sweet.)
(You're so beautiful.)
(How gorgeous.)
Our eyes are sparkling today.
(Will we shoot a romantic movie with the master today?)
I'm excited.
(But why did they come to a police substation?)
(This master is film noir.)
(Is he crying?)
(He's gotten himself in trouble many times.)
(You're not recording this, right?)
(I will punish you if you act up.)
(The master's tough love...)
(is as fierce as rough ocean waves.)
(Completely dazed)
(The charismatic film noir master...)
(whom they absolutely cannot disobey)
(Who is he?)
(The door is open. Why are you ringing the doorbell?)
What timing.
(Film noir master is coming.)
