(13th master,)
(coming soon)
What is this place? A theater?
Nice.
I see everything. These things. You know what it is, right?
It's marked.
You put fluorescent tapes on the floors...
for the blackout,
so when no one can see you, you go stand there.
- When the light's back on... - Do you think we don't know that?
Se Hyeong. We know better.
We probably know better because we're singers. He knows better.
Oh, right. You are celebrities.
I'm sorry. I thought I was the only one.
(He shows off from the start.)
Okay.
Why are we meeting the master...
in the theater today?
The master you're going to meet today...
had a total life change...
over one performance.
- What? - Performances...
What performance would give you a life change?
I don't know.
Did he change his job after watching a performance?
Anyway, he's an actor.
Or he could be a director.
His life changed after watching a performance.
(Draw the master using one phrase.)
Do you have any idea, Sang Yun?
Actually, I have no idea.
I used to think simple about these things,
but now, I keep twisting it,
and fall into my own trap.
Before, I used to think this is only a theater.
But now I think, "Is this really about a performance?"
"Maybe he's a singer, but they're trying to fool us."
The thing is, we're not a quiz show.
You know that, right?
But this is always a quiz time for me.
(This is a quiz time for me.)
If we get it right, we should be given a stuffed toy.
This person is trusted by people of...
all gender and age.
Whatever he does becomes a hit.
- What? - Whatever he does becomes a hit.
(Who could be such a person?)
- Someone we all trust? - Is it Song Kang Ho?
What? Doesn't he do theater too?
Of course he does. He started as a play actor.
His career began from there.
I will tell you several works...
he's related to.
- Okay. - That's a strong hint.
The Korean film that had...
the highest number of audience...
is "Roaring Currents".
(The first film related to the master is "Roaring Currents".)
The films with 10-million audience mark are "Ode to My Father"...
and "Assassination".
(The third film is "Assassination".)
Today's master has influenced...
the popularity of these films.
- That's crazy. - Mr. Hwang Jung Min.
Mr. Lee Jung Jae was in the film "Assassination".
It could be Mr. Choi Min Sik.
- Perhaps all of them will come. - What? Wait.
Whoever from those three films come, it would be...
(Whoever comes, it would be amazing.)
Whoever comes, it would be...
(I am curious. I want to know who it is.)
But...
Are those three films directed by a same director?
No. They are all directed by different directors.
They were starred by all different actors too.
(All three films have different directors and actors.)
This person guarantees the film to be a hit.
(Who is the master?)
You often say that when you talk about an actor.
You say the actor guarantees the film to be loved by people...
of all gender and age.
You can use the phone chance.
Who would it be this time?
(Who would give us the hint?)
Hello?
- Hello. - Hello.
- We are... - Hello.
We are All the Butlers members.
Yes. What made you call me at such an early hour?
- At such an early hour, we... - I think you perfectly...
understand why we called you. You seem to be...
a very good actor.
Well.
Really? Did I sound like I was acting just now?
(Whose voice is this?)
Isn't he Kim Sang Joong?
Wait. His voice sounds familiar.
"Did I sound like I was acting just now?"
That tone of voice sounds very familiar.
Really?
He sounds a bit like Kim Sang Joong.
- I think it's him. - I think it's him.
Are you...
Do you think I sound like him?
- Yes. - We think you do.
- You... - You sound like...
Mr. Kim Sang Joong answering the phone soon after waking up.
- You must be tired. - It's been about...
four hours since I woke up.
Four hours?
- Did... - Four hours?
- Yes. - Did you get up at 4:30am?
In the island where I live, everyone wakes up a little early.
Do you live in the island?
- Yes. - Which island? Jaraseom Island?
We've been to many islands too.
Which island do you live?
I think you've never been to this island.
I've been to many islands...
for a shoot. So I know most of the islands.
- Really? - Yes.
The island I live is called "Handsome".
(He lives in the island called "Handsome".)
(Laughing)
(That is so funny.)
He's right.
Sir,
you are Mr. Kim Sang Joong. Aren't you?
(He's 200 percent sure.)
Was the "handsome" joke funny?
It's...
It's... Mr. Kim.
(He laughs.)
I laughed really loudly inside.
I didn't get to laugh out loud.
But I laughed really loudly inside.
- Hello, I'm Kim Sang Joong. - Okay.
- Thank you. It's you. - Hello.
(The person who will give them the hint is Kim Sang Joong.)
Hello. I am Sang Yun.
- Hello, Sang Yun. - Yes.
I am really enjoying the show.
Thank you.
What about Sang Yun do you think is funny?
It's funny that he is not funny.
(It's funny that he is not funny.)
- You precisely got it. - You precisely pointed it out.
You are as precise as Heo Jun. Very precise.
- He pointed it out. - He really pointed it out.
By the way, was my dad joke fun?
- It was fun. - Yes.
- I never expected it. - We cannot say...
that it wasn't funny.
(He laughs.)
(It looks like he and I belong to the same category.)
The person who will be your master today...
is someone who acts just as well as me.
He is an actor.
- He is such a seasoned actor. - Right.
He's worked on every film that had a 10 million audience mark.
(He has worked on every film that had a 10 million audience mark.)
What is his lifestyle like?
He is very disciplined.
Isn't it like watching "I Would Like to Know"?
He's very strict in his self-discipline.
Is he?
In what ways?
From his clothing...
to the top of his head,
nothing is untidy.
If he's that strict,
isn't it tiring for the people around him?
He might be the type who tires you out.
It might be a little tough for you.
He must have a tendency to be a perfectionist.
Right. That's why...
it might be mentally draining.
When it comes to managing his time,
he is very thorough.
Is there something you two have in common?
What we have in common...
is that we are addicting.
Addicting.
The... What?
Do you mean he makes us get addicted to him?
Right. Right. When you talk to him...
When you hear him talk,
you have to hear the rest of the story.
You get curious about what comes next.
That's what I mean that he can get addicting.
That's what I would like to say.
Listening to him does feel a little draining.
It's not...
so addicting. It's rather draining.
- You spoke your mind. - I mean it's...
What do you mean by that?
Seong Jae said it's not addicting...
but draining.
Did I drain your energy?
I was trying to say "addicting".
It's fine.
Your master is someone...
who will captivate your spirit.
- captivate our spirit. - Spirit.
- Right. - Right.
(He is a great actor who guarantees a film to be a hit.)
To find our spirit,
it's very important to know...
about the history of Korea.
(History?)
History.
I get it. I get it.
Right? Our history.
(I have no idea who it is.)
- I think I know. - I think I know.
I think I know.
- I don't know. - Do you think you know?
- Yes. - Yes.
The last hint...
really gave me a clue.
(He is stupefied.)
By the way,
can you join our show one day...
as our master?
Since we became acquainted?
If it's just two episodes, I will consider it.
But if there are four episodes, I can't do it.
It's because our title includes the word for "four".
(He made another dad joke.)
- Your jokes are... - That was very original.
- very addicting. - We can't get enough of it.
Is it a little addicting?
It is. I am really into it now.
Honestly, this one really got me hooked.
Actually, it's a lie.
(Seung Gi is just lying.)
(We hope you will join us as the master next time...)
(and let us hear the original version of "actually".)
All right. I hope you will meet your master...
and enjoy the shoot.
- All right. Thank you so much. - Thank you.
All right.
(We thank Mr. Kim from "Handsome" Island for all his addicting jokes.)
(The addicting phone call ends.)
What's important is that...
(The phone chance is over, but Sang Yun is lost.)
By the way, didn't we get no hint about the master?
- No, but... - Do you know who it is?
We got the best hint towards the end.
When he said "history" and "spirit",
- Right. - you seemed to get it.
- Who... - I get that, but...
If the person in my mind is our master today,
I am scared of today's shoot.
- Really? - Tell me who you think it is.
I'm scared of him in a different way.
This is...
(They have guessed the same person.)
- Really? - Right.
- Who is it? - Are they the same people?
Yes. But why is he scary?
You are ignorant, aren't you?
What? What do you mean?
- Then... - This person...
The fact that they have figured it out means I should think simply.
We both don't know who it is, right?
You have to think simply.
Gosh.
Are you studying how to be funny these days?
No. That's just the fact.
- My goodness. - He must've held concerts...
- at stadiums like this. - He's done many concerts.
We now know who he is.
- This is a little upsetting. - We know that he is good at acting.
I really like him because...
I love this so much.
(I love history.)
Wait. I suddenly thought of someone.
Isn't he a lecturer?
(Is he a lecturer?)
(Did Se Hyeong get it too?)
That's what I think.
(Am I the only one who doesn't know?)
Are the three of you thinking of the same person?
- Yes. - I think so.
- Am I right? Is it really him? - Yes.
Aren't you a little scared too?
(My goodness.)
- Who? - Se Hyeong.
- Should we go outside? - I will teach you.
It's my first time to be the only person not to figure it out.
(He can't believe it.)
He must know him.
I...
(He's nervous and frustrated.)
(Does knowing who he is make him nervous just the same?)
He is very...
But it's...
(He's at a loss for words.)
I've never seen him so worried about meeting our master.
- The problem is... - He won't evaluate you.
Am I wrong? Will he give us a quiz?
- If he does... - Yes.
- A quiz? - You don't know anything?
- An evaluation? - I know some things, but...
A quiz and an evaluation...
Sang Yun has no idea.
(I've never seen him like this before.)
I guess he has hosted a quiz show in the past.
Heo Cham. It must be Heo Cham.
(Heo Cham from "Family Entertainment")
- I'm sure of it. - It can't be him.
He's improved so much.
(Seung Gi's attempt to fool him failed.)
I was going to tell him that it's Son Bum Soo.
He didn't buy it.
(He seems to have lost his reasoning skills.)
Gosh, who can it be?
Look at him. He's anxious. He was always the ace of the team.
But if that's the case, we should...
- Yes, exactly. It's totally... - I feel so left out.
I'm the only person here who doesn't know, right?
Aren't I right, guys?
Gosh, this isn't good.
(Sang Yun doesn't know.)
- There's something you don't know. - Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Hang on. Hold on a moment.
Go over there and keep thinking.
The master is in the building next to where we are.
- Oh, my! - We'll head over there now.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Everyone is getting ready to leave.)
Who can it be?
Goodness, how can Sang Yun not know?
He has no clue. He won't figure it out.
I'll learn as much as I can.
- He'll have a lot to teach us. - Yes, we'll learn a lot.
Does he have "Eol" in his name?
No?
(Cracking up)
- What was that hint about? - Hey, look.
Am I getting it all wrong?
He still has no clue.
Just remember the movies that were mentioned, okay?
- Oh, he's here? - It's right next to where we were.
We're going in to meet our new master.
They covered everything.
Only Sang Yun doesn't know who the master is.
(The history lover, Seung Gi, is very excited.)
- Seong Jae seems downcast. - Everything is covered.
(Se Hyeong is trying his best to smile.)
- And Sang Yun is frustrated. - I really have no idea who it is.
I think it'll be a very exciting day.
"A tree with deep roots do not falter in the wind."
Just as we expected. It's very...
- By Sejong the Great. - Oh, I've heard this before.
(Who is this master?)
- "Sungkyunkwan". - "Sungkyunkwan".
Sungkyunkwan.
- Wasn't it like a university? - Yes, that's right.
- Where scholars studied. - Wasn't it an advanced school?
There are so many inspiring quotes.
(Looking around)
(There's someone.)
(They can tell who it is even by just looking at him from behind.)
(Our guess was right.)
(The three members are sure that they know who it is.)
(The master does not turn around.)
(Who is that man?)
Sang Yun still doesn't know. He has no idea.
(He blinks his eyes repeatedly.)
("In history, there is no going back.")
- Sang Yun still doesn't know. - By any chance, are you our master?
("It's the exciting encounter between the past and the present")
- Are you our master? - Master?
(The man who reads history to us, Seol Min Seok)
- Hello, Master. - Hello.
(He has been teaching Korean history for 23 years.)
(You only see what you know.)
(His lecture helped "Roaring Currents" surpass...)
(the 10-million viewer mark.)
"Bring the rice chest!" Then he confined Crown Prince Sado...
(A young man who majored in theater and film...)
(has taken history education by storm!)
(His acting skills take us to the moments in history.)
(He inspires our hearts, not our heads.)
(He even visits historic sites in person.)
This was Korean History Expert, Seol Min Seok.
(The youth of this land, let history embrace you.)
My gosh. It's so nice to meet you, Master.
- Hello. - It's a pleasure to meet you.
Hello.
- My goodness! - Master.
(Sang Yun has no clue who he is.)
- It's nice to meet you guys. - Likewise.
Thank you for coming all the way here. This way.
- Master Seol Min Seok. - Oh, my.
It's so nice to meet you in person.
- Hang on. - I'm so excited.
- Look at Sang Yun's face. - You don't know who he is?
(You actually don't know him?)
(He doesn't know...)
(who I am?)
(Chuckling angrily)
Master, are you angry?
(Are they getting started off on the wrong foot?)
- Totally. - Yes.
The last two hints we got were "spirit" and "history".
- When we heard that, - Great hints.
the three of us knew right away.
But Sang Yun kept saying he can't figure out who the master is.
- I see. - Yes.
Is he the first person who didn't recognize you recently?
Not recently. The 1st person in the past 5 years.
It has never happened in the past five years.
- I'm really sorry. - No, don't be. It's okay.
I do think that Sang Yun...
is immensely interested in history,
but he hasn't thought much about it as it's not related to his career.
Since we'll spend two days together, I promise...
that I'll turn him into a history expert.
- I really promise you that. - Only in two days? Is it possible?
- Well, it isn't really possible. - Right.
It's just that I'm so shocked he had no idea who I was.
Any Korean who is interested in history...
- has to know who I am. - Definitely.
Yes, this is a very serious problem.
But he could be knowledgeable in history.
- Maybe he just doesn't know you. - No, that can't be.
Any Korean who's knowledgeable in history has to know me.
- Right now... - He's very proud of what he's done.
It means he doesn't know much about history.
- It's impossible. - Must we know history or you?
- Between the two... - It's not that.
(What comes first?)
- If you know history, - Yes.
you'll see Seol Min Seok.
(You'll see me if you know history.)
- This is a little bit like... - My gosh.
So you think that you're quite successful, right?
I personally think that I'm very successful.
Very.
- Then... - Did you guys see that?
He said "Very" while looking at Sang Yun.
- He wanted to tell Sang Yun. - "Very."
- I was just kidding. - "Very."
I think like that because...
I actually went on the program's website and read about it.
- I see. - My gosh.
- The show's website? - No other master has done that.
- Have you guys been on the website? - No, never.
- Oh, there it is the website. - I've been on it.
Really?
See? He's not like us.
He knows what's important.
- What's important. - It's because...
- I wanted to know why... - Right.
I should be on the show by reading up about it.
- Then did you read the objectives? - I sure did.
It's a must.
- What does it say? - What are the show's objectives?
This program is...
"a project where curious youths with many questions..."
"and quirky masters who excel in their own crafts..."
"spend time together."
I didn't know about it until today.
- That's so accurate. - I found out about it just now.
- It's perfectly accurate. - Yes, it is.
- But how could you... - That's what the show is about.
Did you memorize the whole thing?
No. Why would I need to memorize it?
It was engraved in my heart as soon as I read it.
- You felt the essence of it. - Exactly, it's the show's essence.
All right. Think about it, guys.
Why do you think we met?
Did we meet on the weekend to make people laugh?
No, no. It's not about that.
- That's why we met. - Pardon me?
This is a variety show, you know.
- But... - It has to be funny.
- But we think... - You're absolutely right.
That is very important.
The thing is, it's a huge honor to appear as a master on this show.
That in and of itself shows that I'm very successful. Very much so.
You must've come all the way here to learn something from me.
The 4 of you here will spend 2 days with me...
and find out exactly what it is that you need to learn from me.
- Who are you pointing at? - There's only one person there.
(He's focused on 1 member.)
- Okay, all right. - Why did you say...
But as a teacher, isn't it more fun to have a student like him?
Yes, it's so much fun.
- He sounds angry. - It's very fun.
You see, what do doctors do?
Historically famous doctors like Hua Tuo and Heo Jun...
saved lives of people from deadly ailments that others couldn't cure.
- Aren't I right? - Yes, absolutely.
- Then what about teachers? - It's captivating.
It doesn't have to be me. Let's say he's a good history student.
He won't need me.
He'll get good grades even if he learns from another history teacher.
- But... - Yes.
(But)
Take students like Sang Yun for example.
Despite his interest in history,
he hasn't had time to learn about it because of his job.
There are history illiterates like him...
who are comparable to patients in ICU.
- When I meet such students... - Well...
- I don't think I'm that bad. - Really?
He's a history illiterate because he didn't know who Master was.
- Just for that reason... - He's a history illiterate.
You can call me a dummy. I'd be okay with that.
He's a history illiterate because he didn't know who Master was.
- Seriously. - No, I was just joking.
It wasn't a joke. It looked like you really meant it.
I was half sincere. It wasn't entirely a joke.
Anyway, meeting people who are interested in history...
even though they don't know much about it...
revives my passion from the time when I first started teaching.
It makes me much happier.
When I saw you on TV,
it seemed like you read a lot,
so I assumed you wear glasses due to your bad vision.
But I see that there are no lenses.
My gosh! Hold on.
(He physically proves it.)
- There are no lenses. - My gosh!
It looks like you got a perm to flatten the hair on the sides.
- I got it done yesterday. - Oh, yesterday?
- For this show. - The sides are so flat now.
This part of my hair is always a little raised, you know.
My hairstyle and glasses...
have become my trademarks.
(They're his trademarks.)
- They're... - So it's a setup.
- I can't change my style now. - You're like Pororo.
I saw you writing something on this piece of paper.
- I see your doodles too. - What's written on it?
What's this mirror doing here?
The mirror is for...
He probably wanted to make sure his hair looks good.
- I must look presentable, you know. - He's a perfectionist.
- He strives for perfection. - Perfection.
It's because my job is...
Great men like Yi Sun Sin...
and King Sejong led Korea in the past.
You are the heroes who will lead Korea in the future.
My job is to make them meet each other.
If you are invited to an elder's birthday party...
or to a national event,
you can't go in a tank top, can you?
- You can't. - You can't. Right?
So this has a meaning.
- You have a point, - I get it.
but isn't it also possible to make the meeting of...
the future heroes and the great men of the past casual?
It can be a casual meeting. You can wear casually.
That's a very good point.
(He's very open-minded.)
I just learned a lesson from him.
- What? - I learned a lesson from him.
- Really? - In Buddhist term,
this is called "Don oh".
- "Don oh". - It means you are enlightened.
"Don oh" means enlightenment.
- Right. - "Enlightenment".
This is very important.
The person who's been studying history for 23 years was...
enlightened by an ordinary young man who's always...
had interest in history but never learned much about it.
You just witnessed the moment of his enlightenment.
- Do you mean this moment? - That's right.
- This is history. - Right. This is history.
- This is history. - This is. Thank you, Sang Yun.
- It was... - Let's give it up for him.
Let's clap for him.
- We have to praise him. - Yes.
- Well done. - He's praising me with his mouth...
In the past, during Koryo Dynasty,
When will we sit down?
- Sit. - So what have you been you doing?
- What have you been doing? - What have you been doing?
What have you been doing?
My gosh, time goes by so quickly.
It's been less than an hour since we met.
Let's see what he has been up to.
Should I open it like this?
- Like this. - I will tell you what it is.
I became famous with computer graphics.
- Did you draw them yourself? - I did.
I make storyboard of my lecture video like a movie.
After that, I share it with my crew.
If you are taking a Korean history exam,
you have to memorize things.
I teach them ways to remember things easily and repeat them.
This one is called "Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo".
- Halibut? - I will explain what it is.
Se Hyeong, do you...
like halibut sashimi?
- I like it. - I like it.
This "Mi" means "taste".
- "Mi" for "taste". - "Mi"?
Korean halibut sashimi is the best,
but American halibut sashimi is very good too.
And you add the words "Kwang" and "Eo".
You can memorize it as "Delicious American halibut sashimi".
- Right. - I will tell you what it is.
- "Shinmiyangyo" was a war. - I know Shinmiyangyo.
- United States invaded Korea. - Right.
At the military base called Kwangseong Garrison,
General Eo Jae Yeon stopped them.
This always comes up on the exam.
- It's really confusing. - My goodness.
When I shout "Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo",
halibuts jump up high.
Halibuts?
As the computer graphics technology improves each year,
we upgrade our techniques too.
I was preparing to come up with a new kind of computer graphics.
Really?
- It's true. - It's not one of our cameras.
This is ours.
It's my company's.
We film the lecture with this camera, edit the video,
insert computer graphics, and do the sound effect.
We do everything.
- Let's watch it. - Where is it?
- I remembered Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo. - I remembered it too.
- You remembered it, didn't you? - I remembered it.
- If you have ideas, tell me. - Okay.
- Shall we watch it? - Shall we watch it?
What is this about?
About Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
Now...
Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
- Halibut. - Isn't that great?
- Look at that. - Are there two halibuts?
(It was like watching 4DX movie.)
Please give a big hand.
This is it.
(It's Master Seol's unique way of teaching.)
That Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo...
I think I will remember Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo until I die.
Were you having an idea meeting for the computer graphics?
I've been thinking.
I thought I would make a new version of Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo...
and make it fun for the students.
If you have an idea, please give me one each.
(If it can help students to study,)
I always pay attention to what students say.
- So that's... - From Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo,
I memorized "Kwang-Eo"...
very, very easily.
- But I think "Mi-Mi" is confusing. - Right.
What do you think of when you hear the word "Mi-Mi"?
- The Barbie doll. - The Barbie doll. Right?
You can dress up as the Barbie and ride the halibut.
He got enlightened.
(The 2nd enlightenment)
- I will do it first. - Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
Can I go up the table with my shoes on?
This should be wiped clean.
Someone will sleep here.
(But to actually do it...)
This is really embarrassing.
I feel like I am standing here naked.
(He imagines the Barbie doll Mimi flying on the back of a halibut.)
Things got out of his hands.
(Se Hyeong's version of Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo)
Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
(Everyone is laughing.)
(But the master is recording the idea thoroughly.)
Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
(We are afraid that this will appear in our dreams.)
- Cheers. - I am so embarrassed.
That was great.
My gosh.
(He becomes interested.)
I will give an idea. For this,
I need to get rid of this desk.
(Sang Yun who is bad at history gives physical suggestions.)
I need this. All right.
We will get rid of the halibut graphics.
You become the halibut.
You become the fish man. Your arms are the fins.
You hold the Barbie doll Mimi with your hand...
and run around.
- Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo. - The master...
- becomes the halibut. - That's right.
You can see the halibut, Mimi, and the master all at once.
- Like a fish with a human face. - Like a fish with a human face.
(Show us.)
Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo. Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo.
Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo. You can do that.
My gosh.
(They are embarrassed for him.)
I don't want Se Chan and my comedian colleagues to see this.
I've been doing this...
for the past 23 years...
in front of 200 students.
But I am not embarrassed.
- Why aren't you? - It's because...
"Why aren't you?"
If it helps students understand and enjoy history and do well in exams,
I can even be a shark or a whale.
(For his students, he is willing to become something even worse.)
I think being a halibut is the most embarrassing though.
It's cool to be a shark or a whale.
- It looks cool. - And...
before we end talking about Mi-Mi-Kwang-Eo,
there is one thing you must know.
We expressed General Eo Jae Yeon's story...
in an interesting way.
But his actual battle wasn't a very enjoyable one.
- I'm sure. - General Eo Jae Yeon...
fought against the United States...
in a very difficult situation.
According to the record, they didn't even have bullets to shoot.
So they picked up empty cartridges from the ground...
and threw them onto the enemies' faces.
They lost at the battle, but we consider it a victory.
This tiny nation attached to the end of China...
fought so hard...
that the pale-faced Americans turned even paler.
They thought, "What kind of a country is this?"
Because of various strategic situations, they retreated.
In the end, General Eo Jae Yeon died during the battle.
His courage and spirit is said to have defeated them.
So when we put on this enjoyable performance,
General Eo Jae Yeon might delightedly watch us.
I needed to tell you that.
(It is more than just Korean history for exams.)
(They are our stories which we all should know.)
It's a little early.
It's because that I can't stand wasting time.
Every minute and second is precious to us.
So we are going to eat earlier than the usual.
- What are we eating? - What we are going to eat...
is the dish with which you can understand...
Noryangjin the best.
I will let you taste that dish.
- I love it. - Great.
It's my first time to walk on this street.
- I see. - Right.
This is the mecca of Korean education.
Everyone preparing for a civil servant exam...
- Comes to Noryangjin. - comes to Noryangjin.
(The youths are living...)
(the moment of intense life here.)
The street food looks delicious too.
This is the cup rice street.
The cup rice street.
- They all sell it. Hello. - I've never had it.
I never knew there was a such thing as a cup rice street.
They look for something that is easy to eat...
and also nutritious.
(They are easy and nutritious meals tailored for students.)
Are we going to eat...
It will be cup rice today.
I think it's going to be good.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. Are you a regular here? - Yes.
Hello.
It looks really good.
There are so many kinds.
There are four kinds of meat dishes.
- Are these the most popular ones? - Yes.
- They are the best-sellers. - Wait.
Is this really three dollars?
- Yes. - It's three dollars.
- You get three dollars for this? - Yes.
It's got everything.
I will get 1, 2, 4, and 8.
(A bowl of nicely steamed rice...)
Please give me a generous amount of meat.
Okay, I will.
(is topped with spicy stir-fried pork.)
She puts cheese on top of an egg.
(Then it's topped with other perfect companions of rice.)
I love that. It's got ham.
The grilled pork belly looks good.
By the way, I come here to get cup rice.
But the best topping you can get here is her generosity.
- My gosh. - Gosh.
He said that just when she was getting the meat.
Right.
It's all about the timing.
- Life is all about the timing. - I think you planned to say it.
- Right. - On the way here,
he planned to say this here.
Right. I thought of this yesterday.
I thought of everything yesterday while eating dinner.
- It's prepared really fast. - Here is number eight.
(While talking, the cup rice is prepared.)
Cup rice.
There's egg, mozzarella cheese, spicy stir-fried pork, and spam...
(It's prepared fast and with love.)
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
(It's unbelievable.)
The portion is really big too.
This is perfect for students preparing for exams.
Right? It's very filling.
Can we eat here?
- No. There is a place to eat. - There is a place to eat it.
There's even a place to eat it.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for this.
(There is a bench for people eating the cup rice.)
I never knew this kind of place existed.
(Sitting on the bench, they enjoy the feast in a cup.)
Isn't this really mouthwatering?
This place is really amazing.
It's good.
- How is it? - It's unbelievable.
- Is it amazing? - It is.
It's much better than a regular meal.
It really is.
It's got everything, so it feels like a home-cooked meal.
(It feels like a warm home-cooked meal that fills your empty stomach.)
It's delicious.
When you eat here,
students come.
When you hear the conversation they have with the vendors,
your heart warms up.
- What do they talk about? - They talk about trivial things.
The vendor asks if the student is preparing for the exam well,
if he's taking care of his health, and why he hasn't come for a while.
This feels like a big family.
Like a big family.
(They are like a big family.)
Yes.
(At the same time every day,)
(they eat here together like a family.)
(I will give you some more. Eat.)
(Did you order anything, Son?)
(It must be hot to stand in front of the stove all day.)
(We earn money though.)
(The cup rice is as warm as a mother's heart.)
Who hasn't gone through...
tough times in their youth?
(They eat the food of the youth and reflect on their youth.)
When I was a senior in high school,
(When he was in school)
I did a lot of plays.
I directed the play and also acted in the play.
We swept all the national competitions.
Our theater team did.
My confidence and ego at the time was...
100 times of Seung Gi's.
I was confident to get into college,
but I failed to get into the college I wanted.
You wanted to study acting.
Yes. It's not like that now, but in my times, people were...
divided into those who went to college and those who didn't.
If you fail to get into college, they used to call you a failure.
I really wanted to die when it happened.
Until I turned 22, 23, 24,
I worked and saved money.
(The master started to work.)
I waited tables. I worked as a nanny.
I worked at a car wash. I dressed up as Santa Claus.
I did manual labor too.
I made bricks and...
poured concrete too.
You've done all of those?
With the money I saved, I took tutoring classes.
(It was money to turn failure into success.)
Then...
I watched the musical called "Empress Myeongseong".
(For the master who was studying film and theater,)
(the story about our history was very impressive.)
It was our history.
(His dream changed ever since that day.)
I was very shocked.
So I started to study history.
(That is where he got his style of giving the lecture on history...)
(in theater acting style.)
This happened when I was preparing to be a comedian,
just like how these students are preparing for the exam.
At the time, I couldn't even afford this.
I wasn't trying to be pitiful.
My parents didn't want me to become a comedian.
So they didn't give me money to eat here.
If I use the money on transportation,
I wasn't going to have any money to buy food.
Did you have to choose 1 between the 2?
- Between food and transportation? - Yes.
So I chose to pay for the transportation.
I had to go back and forth Daehangno.
I starved all day...
until just before the 7:30pm performance.
Around 6:30pm, I bought a bag of instant noodles.
(He ate instant noodles right before the performance.)
Cup noodles were expensive and small in portion.
Did you just pour hot water...
- Yes. - straight into the bag?
The portion was just a little bigger.
I think I survived on that for about a year.
I can't even remember it.
I was crazy about...
learning comedy.
So it was just to satisfy my hunger.
I don't remember that time as being torturing and tough.
I didn't feel any pain.
- It was what you had to do. - Right. I was perfectly fine.
I think that's how the students here must feel.
Of course.
They are working towards their dream.
Having a dream is the most important.
Sang Yun.
We all have this vague respect for Seoul National University students.
How do you get into Seoul National University?
How well did you study in high school?
During the whole senior year, I slept during the class only once.
I remember that. I never dozed off during a class.
(That's what it takes to go to Seoul National University.)
You can even count the number of times?
I only slept once. Just once.
I think I took class only once.
I felt sorry to the teacher,
but I just couldn't help it. So I slept once.
What he said is very important.
Do you know what students with bad grades have in common?
- What is it? - They ambitiously study all night.
That was me.
And they sleep during class.
(They study at night and sleep during class.)
They doze off.
I slept a lot.
When school finished at 10pm, I ran home,
watched the 10pm drama,
and as soon as it finished at 11pm, I washed myself and went to bed.
(Sang Yun, the Master of Study went to bed at 11pm.)
Can you go to Seoul National University like that?
But when I got up at 7am and went to school,
except for the lunch time and a short nap,
I studied the whole time.
Really?
Even during the break, I memorized English words.
I just didn't move.
- My gosh. - From the time I arrived...
to the time I left, I didn't get up from my seat.
- Isn't he the ideal student? - I...
Sang Yun.
I have a personal favor to ask.
To many students who are preparing for civil service exam...
and for college entrance exam, I always say this.
- This? - I tell them to sleep well...
and to do their best during class.
- That's precisely what he did. - But because I am a teacher,
they take it as nagging.
- I know what you mean. - Please send them a video message.
(Does he want the person who's actually done it to talk to them?)
You've gone through it. So please talk to them.
- What will he say? - But...
it will sound...
very appealing to the students.
Don't add anything to it. Just tell them your experience.
- Really. - Really.
Please say something to the students.
- Preparing for civil servant exams. - Preparing for civil servant exams.
To everyone who is preparing for any kind of exams,
I want to give you a sincere advice.
In my opinion, what's most important is efficiency.
To concentrate well, you need energy.
So sleep when it's time to sleep and study when it's time to study.
That is the toughest.
It's not good to study long hours if you're not giving your all.
So when you rest, rest well.
(Sang Yun's camera)
You can't rest too much like me.
You have to rest just enough.
That's the point.
Lastly,
(They had the cup rice, and Sang Yun sent a message.)
let's gather up and cheer for the students.
We will end it with a cheer.
When I give you a sign, you will gather around me.
He plans everything.
Dear all students of Korea...
preparing for an exam.
The best teacher you can have...
is the person who's walked your path first.
The ones who have gone through it before you...
gave you their great tips.
The master is doing a personal broadcast.
Please listen to them...
- and make sure... - It's all scripted.
to achieve your dream.
We will cheer for your future.
Dear students.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
(Cheers to all students.)
That's good.
That's good. I got enough to work with.
(He's very satisfied.)
Now...
He's checking his watch again.
It's 12:10pm, but 1 minute has passed.
Right.
(We wasted 1 minute.)
We will now go somewhere.
- Right. - I will tell you today's schedule.
- Wait. - Wait.
Can you give the answer?
(He suddenly asks them questions to answer.)
- Dokdo is... - Our land.
Our wish is...
- Reunification. - Our wish is reunification.
Everyone can complete those sentences automatically.
Then tell me in five minutes why Dokdo is our land.
(Explain why Dokdo is our land.)
Tell me in three minutes why our wish is reunification.
(Everyone is at a loss for words.)
Gosh, I'm at a loss for words.
These days, I'm focused on educating kids in elementary school.
I see, elementary school kids.
How would you explain to elementary school kids what reunification is...
and why it is necessary?
Where we're going now will help us find a solution.
- Shall we get going? - We need to find a solution.
(They came here to find the answer,)
(but they're at a loss.)
(Even Master Seol...)
(can't handle these kids.)
Let's get going. Here we go!
I had to say that. It's my signature catchphrase.
You always come up with catchy lines.
(Rummaging through his bag)
He's opening his back after checking the time.
- No, I'm... - Are you trying to do something?
- No, I'm just... - What now?
No, this is... Whenever I'm on the road...
(What he does when he's on the road)
- I always study. - Pardon me?
You study?
I solve questions and so on. I don't waste even a minute of my time.
Doesn't looking at the scenery while driving...
make you realize what season it is and help you appreciate it?
Well, I've seen enough of it back when I was in my 20s.
(I've seen it all when I was in my 20s.)
But to be honest, you probably don't need to...
- He doesn't need to study. - No, that is not true.
- There is no end to learning. - Right.
The trends in exam questions change every year,
so I always have to study.
All teachers have to.
We have to analyze them, you know.
Master, may we see what's inside that bag of yours?
- This? - Yes.
- This is... - What is it?
- No way. Is it a scale? - Yes.
- What? - It's a scale?
Why do you carry it with you?
I'm going abroad tomorrow to visit historical sites.
I'll be leaving at night after we wrap up our shoot.
I always take this when I travel abroad.
- Why do you need it? - To check your weight?
- Do you check your weight? - Do you do it every day?
10 times.
- 10 times a day? - 10 times a day?
What's your weight goal?
I try to stay between 66.8 and 66.9kg...
when I wake up in the morning.
- Even after the decimal point? - That's right.
Why are you that strict on yourself?
I have a trauma.
My grandmother raised me.
She kept giving me food because she adored me so much.
That's why I was chubby as a kid.
When I was in 12th grade, I got a cast on my leg due to a fracture.
I gained 100kg because I kept on eating without doing any exercise.
- Right, you kept on gaining weight. - Yes.
Then one day, I plumped down on the stairs at a subway station...
because I couldn't breathe.
- Because you overate? - No, because I was obese.
It made me think that I wouldn't be able...
to show anyone the best version of myself in that state.
Hence, I lost 30kg in 3 months when I was 20.
- And for the last 30 years... - You've maintained...
- the same weight? - Yes, I have.
(He's very strict on himself.)
- That is very impressive. - Seriously.
To be honest, I prefer not being on such a tight schedule.
I like to eat a lot when I feel like it.
Those things make me happy.
But in your case, living like this must make you happy.
(Leading a disciplined lifestyle makes you happy, right?)
Yes, it makes me very happy.
I must study for the rest of my life.
You can sleep all you want when you're dead.
He does have a point.
(He stays disciplined until he falls asleep.)
Finally. We're only 500m away from our destination,
Odusan Unification Tower.
Can we really see North Korea from here?
Yes, of course.
North Korea is right over there.
- Seriously? - It's so close.
Let's go up and see.
- We're here. - Let's get off.
We're here to see North Korea.
(Today's goal)
(Find a solution for elementary school level history education.)
(This is North Korea.)
We can definitely think from elementary school kids' perspective.
- We're at their level. - I should dumb myself down.
(We're already at their level.)
- Okay. Let's go in, Master. - All right.
Kids, I'll help Master Seol...
so that he can write a great book for you all.
I should just think from my perspective.
Kids won't understand what I don't understand.
That really is the level of my knowledge.
- Hello, Teacher. - Hello.
Oh, my. Elementary school kids these days are so tall.
Gosh, this is so boring.
Are you already bored? Come here.
You should stand right next to me.
Don't stand in the corner.
My, look at you. How old are you this year?
- I'm... - He actually looks like a kid.
- I'm in 5th grade. - I see, you're a 5th grader.
He's as tall as I am,
and he's handsome as well.
- Thank you. - Gosh, how adorable.
What's your name?
- My name is Yang Se Hyeong. - Se Hyeong, hold my hand.
- Okay. - Let's hold hands.
What were you kids talking about earlier?
Oh, nothing much.
We keep hearing things about Korean reunification...
on the news, but we don't know anything about it,
so we were talking about which game we should play at the internet cafe.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
- Korean reunification refers to... - Yes.
I don't like this!
- He kept holding my hand. - Did I?
(Se Hyeong is so good at this.)
When Korea is reunified...
Se Hyeong, do you like going on a picnic and doing fun things?
- I love it. - You love it, right?
- All of us do. - I love it so much.
We can have our picnic in Pyongyang.
- Where is that? - Where is that?
- That's... - What's good about it?
It doesn't sound fun.
In Pyongyang, we can eat delicious things like naengmyeon, sundae,
and meat. We can run around and have so much fun there.
But I want to eat things like pizza and hamburger.
We can take pizza and hamburger with us.
We'll exchange them with the food that North Korean kids have.
- You mean with naengmyeon? - Yes, with naengmyeon.
- I told you I don't eat naengmyeon. - You don't like naengmyeon?
I said I want pizza or hamburger. What is the matter with you?
- Why should I give up tastier food? - Right.
Well...
- He seems very anxious now. - No, no. I'm fine.
I always get more attached to students...
who are like Se Hyeong.
I'm fond of students like him.
- Do you know this, Se Hyeong? - This is boring.
- Se Hyeong, look at me. - Okay.
- Have you heard of Dangun? - Yes!
We're all Dangun's family.
- Oh, really? - We're all his family?
- Yes, we're one big family. - Gojoseon!
That's right. Gojoseon.
Hey, Seong Jae. You're...
You're supposed to act like an elementary school kid.
Are you a bully or what?
"Gojoseon."
The thing is, our country was...
very weak 70 years ago. That's why the North-South split happened.
Se Hyeong, you like both of your parents as well as...
- your little brother, right? - Yes.
Let's say some strong men show up one day...
and tell you that you can never see your brother again...
(Screaming)
- No! - You don't like that, right?
- Then what do you have to do? - I hate you, Teacher!
(Teacher, I hate you.)
- Right. - Will you make my parents split up?
No, that's not what I meant.
Who are you to break up my family?
It's all your fault!
(These kids will be a lot of work.)
Gosh, Seung Gi!
- Will you cut my sister in half? - No, no.
That is not what I meant.
It's okay, kids. Se Hyeong, listen.
You see, reunification helps such separated families reunite.
Oh, really?
You'll be able to see your little brother again.
Your mom and dad too, of course.
- Oh, really? - Your family can be together again.
That's what reunification is.
You'll meet your long-lost brother again.
Will you not want to give him your pizza?
- I will want to share it with him. - Right?
Then your brother will give you...
a delicious bowl of naengmyeon as well as sundae...
No! I don't want to eat naengmyeon!
I told you that I won't eat naengmyeon!
- Se Hyeong! Then don't eat it. - I will never eat naengmyeon!
Don't eat naengmyeon.
I will never eat naengmyeon!
(He expresses his anger with his toes.)
You don't have to eat it. It's okay.
- Se Hyeong, and... Se Hyeong. - He hates naengmyeon.
Se Hyeong.
(Then how about this story?)
You can meet your family again when the two Koreas are reunified.
And serving in the military will no longer be mandatory.
(It'll be done by choice.)
That's not true.
I heard some may be stationed in the Kaema Plateau.
Yes, but that is...
Even that is... Military service...
will no longer be mandatory. It'll be more like a job.
Does that mean you can earn money from serving in the military?
That's right. That's how the US Army is.
You'll be able to earn a lot of money while protecting the country.
- Then reunification is... - Gosh.
How can we teach these things to kids?
According to the National Assembly's statistics,
the process of Korean reunification...
will cost 460 trillion dollars.
- 460 trillion dollars? - Oh, my.
That's astronomical.
That makes us think that reunification isn't a good idea.
But let's look at the opposite side of it.
There must be benefits that we'll gain from reunification.
The monetary value of projected benefits...
amounts to 1,440 trillion dollars.
- 1,000 Trillion dollars. - It's over 1,000 trillion dollars.
Let's get into more details now. Simply put,
North Korea is naturally abundant in underground resources.
They even have a lot of rare earth elements.
- Rare earth elements. - They're used...
to make semiconductors.
Then why don't they make them?
It's because they don't have the technology and funds.
At the moment, they can neither mine such resources...
nor export them to other countries as well as they should.
I see. But we have the technology.
In other words, North Korea has all the underground resources,
whereas we're known for the Korean Wave and semiconductors.
North Korea has rare earth elements. What will happen when the two meet?
It'll be like the big bang.
We need to explain this to kids in a way that's easy to understand.
Gosh, how should we explain it to them?
- We have kids here. - Se Hyeong.
Yes?
(Yuk Seong Jae and Yang Se Hyeong, 5th graders)
What's up?
Are we both elementary school kids?
- Hey. - Yes.
- My mom told me... - Yes.
that our country can also...
South Korea could become a developed country like the United States.
That's a lie. Who said that?
- It doesn't sound right, does it? - No. It's a lie.
- Do you want to go play games? - Let's get going.
That was hilarious.
First of all, you failed on your mission.
Let's suppose that another friend comes along.
Hey. What are you guys doing?
We were just on our way to the internet cafe.
- The internet cafe? - He was saying that...
if North and South Korea reunite, we will be like the United States.
I was actually planning to go to the internet cafe,
but my mom called me and told me about the news.
You know how when we were little. Wait, we're still little.
You know the song we learned during music class.
- "Our hope is the reunification." - Yes.
Apparently, the news said that we're going to be reunited.
What are the advantages if we reunite?
When it happens...
we will become worse off at first.
Let's just go to the internet cafe.
(Heading to the internet cafe)
- To the internet cafe. - This doesn't seem right.
The smartest one will come soon.
- The smartest one is here. - It's Sang Yun's turn now.
Let's go.
- Hey, Sang Yun. - Hey. What are you guys up to?
- You've become taller. - You look like 38.
- No. What were you doing? - Why are you here?
We were just on our way to the internet cafe.
They were both talking about the reunification they heard from TV.
It seemed pretty serious.
We were wondering about the advantages if we reunite.
We can visit North Korea.
Is there a internet cafe in North Korea?
- I'm not sure. - You know what?
- I figured something out. - What is it?
The quality of a video game sometimes becomes poor, right?
That's because we are short on graphic cards.
Apparently, North Korea has skills for developing...
those types of semiconductors.
- If they develop them... - That'll make computers cheaper.
Computers become more affordable and we can play higher quality games.
If we want to play higher quality games in the future,
we have to practice now. Let's get going.
(They always end up in internet cafe no matter what.)
This analysis with computer game doesn't sound so bad.
I agree.
It sounds all right. We should definitely put it.
Let's go to the fourth floor now.
- The fourth floor is too far away. - The fourth floor?
- Yes. - We can play a game on the way.
- What game? - What kind of game?
Whoever gets there first wins.
(That sounds like so much fun.)
- Let's get going. - Let's go.
- Look at the view here. - It's amazing.
Hold on a second. Is that the north?
What you see is North Korea. Over there.
- Just across this river? - Yes, it's North Korea.
Let's go higher to get a closer look.
I'm out of words right now.
Look here.
- We're here, right? - Yes. This is our current location.
That is the North Korean guard post.
Number two is the threshing floor.
Beside that, there is People's Palace of Culture.
- People's Palace of Culture. - There's also an elementary school.
- There's a school. - It's an elementary school.
- You can see North Korea from here. - You can see it directly from here.
- Look at it. - I see the cultural palace.
- I see some kind of a guesthouse. - I see the guard post.
I see the culture center.
I didn't know it was so close.
It just looks like a normal village.
(A normal afternoon of the Seonjeon village,)
(Kaepung, Northern Hwanghae Province.)
- I see the school. - I see people as well.
- I see a person farming. - He has something on his shoulder.
There's not a lot of people at the moment.
During the rice planting season, they plant rice over there.
You can see them farming from here.
- They plant rice? - Yes.
I can't believe how you can directly see from here.
(It's so close to us.)
It's sad that we can only see this much. I want to see more.
- I want to see past the village. - I know.
- Right. - You can't really see past that.
I always thought that was part of South Korea.
- Look over there. - How is this possible?
That is North Korea and that is Gimpo.
It's so close to each other.
Someday, we will be able to...
walk there naturally.
I wonder how it would feel like.
It's my first time looking at North Korea.
- It's definitely new. - In my opinion,
when the wind is strong enough,
a kite will be able to travel to North Korea.
I sounded just like an elementary student.
How I mentioned that a kite will be able to travel to North Korea.
- That was nice. - Let me give you a bonus point.
(10 points for Yang Se Hyeong)
I captured that we can see North Korea through...
the tower viewer and it was free.
- For free. - It was free.
I don't think they would say it's free in North Korea.
I shouldn't say it's free then.
- I shouldn't say it's free. - Are you mimicking right now?
It was an attempt.
Speaking of North Korean,
even though we share the same ethnicity,
everything has changed including the language.
If people can't communicate with another,
we can't do anything.
Since we came here today, let me give you guys a quiz...
- regarding North Korean language. - That sounds fun.
I'm really good at quizzes.
Let's start with some easy ones in the beginning.
(Some exercise questions to start off the quiz)
What is octopus in North Korean language?
Nakji.
Rakji?
- Rakji. - No, unfortunately.
What would octopus be in North Korea?
I thought you guys knew this already.
Maybe it's just called a small squid.
- What did you say? - A small squid.
- Say it again. - A small squid.
You're one letter away from the answer.
A small squi.
A mall squid.
No. You have to get rid of more letters.
- A small squ. - Not quite. Try harder.
- A small squ. - Not like that.
A squid?
(What?)
(That can't be right.)
Correct!
(Seong Jae is correct.)
- They call an octopus a squid? - Yes.
They call each other the opposite.
- Then what's a squid? - An octopus.
- Don't lie. - I'm not lying.
- That's a lie. - I'm telling you the truth.
I can't trust you even if you are the teacher.
- We can't trust you. - You people are too creative.
Why would they call an octopus a squid and vice versa?
Let me give you another question then.
In North Korea, there is...
- something called an eskimo. - Eskimo.
- Eskimo in North Korean? - What would this indicate...
in South Korea?
- Eskimo? - Eskimo.
- Eskimo. - Eskimo.
Let me give you some hints.
- This is fun. - It's something we want...
really bad right now.
- Seung Gi. - Go ahead.
- It's iced water. - Se Hyeong.
Ice.
- Seong Jae. - Sang Yun.
Iced Americano.
Seong Jae. Espresso.
- That's not right. - Se Hyeong.
- Caramel macchiato. - No.
Seong Jae. Cappuccino.
- No. - Seung Gi.
It's coffee mix.
Sikhye.
Seung Gi. Ice cream.
(Ice cream)
- That's correct. - I knew it.
- I didn't know that. - Don't they just call it ice cream?
- Ice cream. - Eskimo.
There are various names for ice cream in South Korea,
which is why there are various ways of calling ice cream in North Korea.
- In our language... - Eskimo.
- Eskimo. - That was fun, master.
- Give us another one. - This is really fun.
This has been nice,
but we need some change at this point.
I mentioned earlier that I am a big fan of All the Butlers.
- You did. - Yes, and there is...
my favorite scene of the show.
- What is it? - It is...
the episode with Park Hang Seo.
What scene was your favorite in that episode?
The lemon eating competition.
(Sighing)
(A scene you cannot watch without tears)
(Struggling hard)
This is not just a lemon.
(He got his dental scaling during the competition...)
(from the citric acid.)
We should do it again.
I prepared some in my bag.
- What? - You have lemons in your bag?
I brought...
some lemons.
(He prepared lemons himself for those who get the question wrong.)
(Evil laughter)
- But why? - Why did you bring them?
- We were doing a quiz. - It was a quiz about North Korea.
Anyways, we will do a quiz about North Korean language.
To the winners,
I will give them eskimos.
(If they get it right, they will get iced Americano.)
- I need it right now. - I want it so badly.
But if you get the answer wrong,
I will give you these lemons instead.
You're very good at this.
You're provoking our curiosity.
- At our level. - Also your competitiveness.
- Yes. - You're right.
(Swallowing)
I can see you swallowing right now.
- Just by looking at it. - In my case,
I have a bad memory.
I can already taste it. It tastes sour.
Eating a lemon in the summer does not sound right.
I need to do better on this one.
Okay. Let's go.
I don't usually drink coffee, but I want one right now.
(He's very good at teaching.)
Let me give you the first question.
- The pantyhose for women... - Yes.
What would they call a pantyhose in North Korea?
Let me give you a hint.
Translate it in Korean first.
(Translate it literally in pure Korean.)
- Okay, "pantie" is... - What's "pantyhose"...
- called in North Korea? - I got it!
- Underwear? - Leggings?
(Is it called "leggings"?)
That was close.
I've been studying North Korean words for a while,
and I must say, they really make sense.
Their expressions tend to be very literal.
- Seong Jae! - Yes, Seong Jae.
Leggings cover.
Wrong. Try to think about the essence of the object.
- The essence? - What is pantyhose?
- Me! Sang Yun. - Okay.
Leg cover.
(Leg cover)
Wrong answer, but it's very close.
- What covers the legs? - Seong Jae.
What's the thing that covers the leg?
- The thing that covers the leg? - Yes.
- Pants? - What are you wearing now?
- The thing that covers the leg. - Tight...
- I got it! - Me!
- Se Hyeong. - Okay, Se Hyeong.
Panty socks.
- I know the answer. - That was so close.
- Well, now... - Seong Jae!
You've said the words, but you need to mix them up.
I got it!
Se Hyeong, Yang Se Hyeong.
Tight panty.
- Socks! No, I mean... - Seung Gi, Seung Gi!
(Their fear of lemons is keeping them motivated.)
- Seung Gi! Seung Gi! - I know the answer.
Tight pants?
- Wrong! - I said that earlier. Sang Yun.
You guys have already said the words. Just mash them up.
You've already said the words.
Seong Jae!
Tight leggings panty socks.
- Wrong. It has four syllables. - Seung Gi!
Sang Yun!
Pants socks?
(Pants socks?)
(Gosh, it's so close!)
It's...
- Seong Jae! - No, me! Se Hyeong!
- It's not "pants socks"? - Seong Jae first.
Me, Se Hyeong!
- Let's play rock-paper-scissors. - Se Hyeong.
- You didn't even put up your hand. - Seong Jae.
- I think I know the answer. - Me first.
(Gosh, I'm getting a headache.)
- Go away. - Pants socks.
(It is a complete disaster.)
- Let's play rock-paper-scissors. - I'm older than you!
- It has to be "pants socks". - No, no.
- Let's play rock-paper-scissors. - Okay.
- Ready or not... - Wait.
You didn't put up your hand. Go away.
Go away. Just the three of us.
- Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.
(Se Hyeong won.)
- Who won? - I did.
- Say your answer. - Se Hyeong.
Did you forget?
- What's your answer? - 3, 2, 1!
- Socks pants? - Correct!
("Socks pants" was the correct answer.)
"Socks pants". It is literal indeed.
"Socks pants". My gosh.
- Even my head hurts. - It is very literal.
- "Socks pants". - It's called "socks pants"?
- "Socks pants", not "pants socks". - This will be so refreshing.
(Se Hyeong received his iced Americano.)
All right.
Can he drink the whole thing?
Gosh, it was "pants socks".
(I'm so jealous right now.)
It's incredibly refreshing.
They even added syrup, which is great.
- Let me have a sip. - Why should I?
I'll just taste it.
- What? - I bet there's no syrup.
I don't think it has any syrup.
- What are you talking about? - You must stir it well.
(Seung Gi's plan failed.)
(My mom told me to never share food.)
Seong Jae, I don't think we each have to eat a whole lemon.
Shall we play a game?
To decide who will eat more? Shall we play rock-paper-scissors?
Yes, let's do that.
We'll play rock-paper-scissors and eat this lemon together.
This is totally cooling me down.
(One's on vacation, while the rest is hard at work.)
- Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors! - Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors!
- Nice! - Okay.
You lost first.
(Seong Jae is the last.)
- Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors. - Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.
Okay, you go first.
(Sang Yun gets to take the first bite.)
(Taking a tiny bite)
Hey, Sang Yun.
Did you eat any of it?
How could you...
You ate way too much, Sang Yun.
(Squirting)
- That looked refreshing. - Oh, my.
(They give the rest to Seong Jae.)
I'll have to eat it in two bites.
This lemon is even sourer.
- It's worse than Vietnamese lemons. - They're even sourer now...
- because they're in season. - 10 seconds?
- Ready, go. - Ready, go.
- 10, 9, 8, 7. - 10.
- This is so refreshing. - Six.
- Gosh. - Five.
(It is sour.)
My goodness.
Four.
Three.
Two.
(He's like an octopus with lemon squeezed on top.)
One.
I'm done.
Gosh, it's really sour.
- I must say, - I can't think of anything.
it's even harder because we weren't mentally ready.
This is so refreshing.
Did you already finish it?
It totally cooled me down.
(Sour or refreshing)
(It's the carrot and stick approach.)
- Next question, please. - Okay.
In Korea, the diet craze is in full swing, you know.
Do North Koreans also use the word, "diet"?
- They do have a word for it. - Really?
What would it be?
- The equivalent for "diet"? - Yes.
(What is it called in North Korea?)
- "Diet". - Seung Gi!
- Seung Gi. - Shedding weight.
(Shedding weight)
- That was close. - Se Hyeong.
- It's similar to "shedding weight"? - Yes.
- Seong Jae. - What does "diet" mean?
Weight loss.
Right, it is weight loss.
But they use a different expression.
- Se Hyeong. - Yes.
"I'll cut off your belly fat."
"Cut off his belly fat!"
"As of today, I'll start working on cutting off my belly fat."
- "Cutting fat off"? - Yes.
The word has three syllables.
- It has 3 syllables? - 3 syllables?
(What is a literal translation of "diet" in pure Korean?)
Well...
- In the military, - Yes.
soldiers do this when they do fieldwork.
- I don't know military terms. - With a shovel.
- Seong Jae. - Yes, Seong Jae.
Digging fat!
- Gosh, it was so close. - Sang Yun!
Seung Gi! Fat removal?
(Fat removal)
- Fat removal. - This is driving me crazy.
- You guys are driving me crazy. - Fat removal.
- No, no. - It's not the right answer?
Seong Jae.
No more lemon for you. I think you know the answer.
I think I figured it out.
Don't eat another one. Say the right answer.
- Seong Jae, look at my eyes. - You...
- If you don't get it right... - Please, Seong Jae.
Shaving fat off!
I got it! Se Hyeong!
- Seung Gi is next. - No, I said my name first.
- What? - I clearly said my name.
- I'm next. - All right, sit back down.
- Sit down. It's game over. - It really is game over.
- One of us will win. - It's game over, so just sit down.
- You have it ready, right? - Yes.
(The Americano is ready, right?)
Weight labor.
- What? - Seung Gi, Seung Gi!
Weight explosion!
I got it.
- I was close earlier, wasn't I? - Yes, you were very close.
(There's no way he'd get it.)
Peeling fat off!
Correct.
("Peeling fat off" was the right answer.)
(The loser has become an honor student.)
Great job. Nicely done.
That has nothing to do with the military.
You mean the shoveling?
- That's what they say. - When they dig soil?
They say, "Peel it all off."
(These 2 kids are complaining.)
In the unit where I served, everyone said "removal".
I've only heard people saying "labor".
Another question, please. The loser will eat two.
- 2 lemons? That's intense. - Yes, 2.
- Only one loser, right? - Yes, let's do that.
Give us another question. The loser will have to eat two lemons.
- Okay. - Okay.
I have an idea. Don't give them verbal hints.
If you tell me, I'll show them using my body.
We don't have much time, so let's move right on.
(He's very strict.)
North Koreans...
- call something "body cast". - "Body cast".
- What do you think... - Sang Yun.
- Sang Yun. - Body shape.
- Wrong. - That was a plausible guess.
- Tell me the answer. - Yes.
- I'll give them a hint. - Okay.
(He'll give them a hint right away.)
- "Body cast"? - "Body cast"?
Body mold?
- Okay. - Doesn't it make so much sense?
- Yes. - A literal translation.
- It really is. - A literal translation.
A bed?
Give us a hint using your body.
(I'm giving you a hint now.)
Oh, me! Seung Gi!
A mannequin.
(Mannequin)
(We get a sense that it may be...)
(the correct answer.)
(If it is,)
(will Sang Yun have to eat 2 lemons all by himself?)
I guess I'll have to eat these.
I'll give you one more chance.
Will you stick with "mannequin" or change your answer?
(Is "mannequin" not the correct answer?)
First, you should...
(Is Master trying to trick me?)
- Did you say that based on this? - Yes, this.
- Based on his pose? - Seung Gi, Seung Gi!
I'll change my answer.
(Smirking)
Seung Gi! I'll change my answer.
- You want to change it? - Yes.
- A statue. - A statue? Wrong.
- Sang Yun! A mannequin. - Sang Yun.
Bingo.
(Are you kidding me?)
(Sang Yun promptly delivers the lemons to him.)
Why did you change your answer?
I was so happy that you got the answer right away!
- You made it look like I should! - You idiot!
Eat your lemons already, you idiot.
(Mission accomplished)
(Only Seung Gi can't drink coffee.)
This is really fun.
(Sang Yun can eat lemons because he feels no pain.)
You'll get 30 seconds.
(It's time to serve the penalty.)
Gosh, this is...
How much time do I have? How many seconds?
- 30 seconds. - 2 lemons in 30 seconds?
All right, 30 seconds. Start!
You can't help it. It doesn't look that sour, but it is.
(It's bitingly sour.)
10 seconds have passed.
- I can't eat 2 in 30 seconds. - I know.
(He shoves 2 lemons into his mouth.)
You sure won't catch a cold this summer.
(Se Hyeong tries to console him.)
(It'll definitely keep the flu and cold at bay.)
- It's so good for you. - It is very good for you.
- It's good for you. - It's good for your health.
- He's getting healthy. - Yes, I bet.
(He's killing 2 birds with 1 stone.)
We're about 22 minutes behind on our schedule.
- 22 minutes and 25 seconds. - You're always so accurate.
We should head to our next destination.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Where the star lecturer lives)
- Let's get off. - This is where you live.
- Yes. - Let's go.
(Mr. Perfect's perfect house)
- I hear a dog. - He must have a dog.
My daughter is...
- Is your family home now? - You have a daughter?
Gosh, my dear daughter. Come here, Robin. Come to Daddy.
- Oh, my. - Gosh, Robin.
She must've been groomed recently.
(Introducing Master Seol's daughter)
She really likes young men.
(Robin, Age 7, Female)
It's because she's a girl. Say hi, Robin.
- She's so cute. - How old is she?
She's seven this year.
- Is she a poodle or a Maltese? - She's a Maltese.
- I see. - She's a Maltese.
(It's too early to be surprised.)
- Why... So... - The house...
It looks like a model house. There's nothing.
It's clean.
He keeps the house very clean.
(The living room does not allow any piece of dog hair.)
There's not even one piece of dust.
Look.
There's absolutely no dust.
How can you be so clean?
The person who's going to sleep with me tonight will sleep...
- in the master bedroom. - I wonder how it looks like.
- What is this? - The door opens...
- that way? - Yes.
(He's pretending to be All the Butlers' fan.)
- There's one too. - This is amazing.
(By the master bedroom entrance,)
(the dressing room is perfectly organized.)
- How does he keep it so clean? - It smells nice in here.
It smells really nice.
- This is the most important thing. - There's a safe.
- It's a wooden safe. - What's in here, Master?
There are various documents.
(Things I can't tell you are inside.)
Right.
- Is this the bedroom? - We'll sleep here.
It's pink.
You only have what's necessary.
It's...
(Beauty of restraint by placing a minimum number of furniture)
It's so neat that...
It's the combination of modern and antique.
(Everything's in order.)
- Does it measure body fat? - Yes.
- It measures body fat. - Really?
I saw another weight on the way.
Isn't there one in the living room?
There is.
(There are weights...)
(everywhere in the house.)
Don't you get stressed?
I'm nervous when there isn't one.
- It's okay. - It's all right.
(He doesn't allow any errors.)
Are you going to sleep on the bed and we sleep on the floor?
You may sleep on the bed.
- No. - No.
- That's not a manner. - Based on his personality,
he'll throw it out if we sleep on the bed.
Right.
What's this room?
It's my playroom.
- Do you play the piano? - It's very clean.
I used to play it when I was young. Now I play the guitar.
When there was a piano...
- No. - My goodness.
You've gone too far.
- You've gone too far with towels. - But that's true.
- I didn't pretend. - That's what hotels do.
I didn't pretend.
This looks like a hotel.
- He rolled all the towels. - Look at the towels.
Is this how you normally keep the towels?
- Yes. - Really?
You're not faking it?
- It looks hard, - It'd take forever.
but it's easy when you try it.
It's clean. There are only two shampoos.
One body cleanser.
I want to live here. This is what I want.
I would live here if someone else does it for me.
- It's the most... - It's the most...
- luxurious house. - Yes.
It really is a good environment.
(While everyone's at ease...)
What's this doing in your house, Master?
- What's this? - There's a weapon in the house.
What?
Hold on. There's a weapon in the house.
Now...
You can make yourselves at home.
(Suddenly, a board appears.)
(The master looks serious.)
(What's going on?)
Since you're my students,
you're going to have a lecture on the street tomorrow.
(We're...)
(going to lecture?)
No way...
About... About... About what?
My history.
(Lecture on your history.)
- My story. - "My history."
I'll give you special training,
and turn you into the best instructors.
Is that possible?
Let's start the one-point lesson.
(Business secret)
(Revealed for the first time)
(I'll make you kings...)
(from head to toe.)
You don't have confidence.
(I can be the king.)
Okay. You may stop.
(The master junior is born.)
(Go out and win the crown.)
(Strife of Princes breaks out.)
This is pretty scary.
I'm afraid.
Dear...
(Wait. This voice must be...)
(Who's going to succeed me?)
(Sarcastic remark)
- In your life... - There will be hard tests.
(100 percent empathy)
(And...)
I'm having a tough time.
Actually, I didn't really want to talk about this.
(The story about me...)
(that I wanted to hide)
(King's Speech)
