(Once upon a time, there were 4 princesses.)
(4 thieves who stole the hearts of beautiful princesses)
(I want to steal someone's heart too.)
(Choi Soo Jong, the love agent)
(Being a family guy is the best.)
(He was once called the nation's thief.)
(Lee Jae Ryoung, the jobless man)
(Kneel down for her!)
(Lee Moo Song, No Sa Youn's baby)
(Being a modest man is the best!)
(Hong Seo Beom, the advanced man)
(Physical affection is the basis of love.)
(You can't listen to their story without tearing up.)
(This is the rule of love.)
("Bravo, My Wife" begins now.)
We want to whisper our love with our wives today.
This is the high-end...
- and companion-like music program - and companion-like music program
We are Radio...
- Star! - Radio Star!
Today, we invited four husbands...
who can be either every man's enemies or role models.
"Bravo, My Wife" begins.
I can see all sorts of human emotions from their faces.
We'll start from this guy.
Before Sean, the romanticist, emerged...
Before the movement, "One Eric Nam for every home"...
Before Lee Sang Soon, the healing husband,
he was there.
- He's the original. - Right.
He's every woman's crush and every guy's enemy.
He's the ancestor of romanticists. It's Choi Soo Jong.
(The ancestor of romanticists, Choi Soo Jong)
Three of the nation's major thieves are...
Youn Jung Hoon, marinated crabs, and Rain.
However, there's another guy.
24 years ago,
this guy married You Ho Jeong, the most beautiful woman in Korea.
He's called the nation's thief since then.
- It's Lee Jae Ryoung. - Lee Jae Ryoung.
This guy...
makes No Sa Youn, the strong woman,
act like a shy little girl.
He's the handler of his wife.
Even though he's arguing with her, he laughs in front of cameras.
He's good at pretending like he's having a perfect marriage.
What is life?
He's the pessimist of the music industry. Lee Moo Song!
(Lee Moo Song, the pessimist)
- What? - Goodness.
(Satisfied)
He's Schopenhauer of the music industry.
Before Seo Taiji, he was there.
He's the nation's first rapper and the all-around entertainer.
Through the assistance of his beautiful wife, Jo Gap Kyeong,
he's still actively working.
- Hong Seo Beom, the all-rounder. - Hong Seo Beom!
- Welcome. - Hi.
(Choi Soo Jong, Lee Jae Ryoung, Lee Moo Song, and...)
Why are you coming from that way?
- What? - What's going on?
Keep the rule, Seo Beom.
- It was too packed. - Oh, man...
- Hi. - Welcome.
- Seo Beom is here. - Hi.
- They are our superiors. - That's right.
Choi Soo Jong, please say hello to our viewers.
Every day, I deliver love to you.
This is the love agent, Choi Soo Jong.
- Goodness. - That was awesome.
That really sounded like a DJ. He's hosting a show at KBS.
You can listen to his voice every day.
- Who's turn is it now? - Oh,
like they introduced me earlier,
I'm more known as You Ho Jeong's husband. I'm Lee Jae Ryoung.
(Humble)
You are a great actor too.
Well, I actually pretended nothing happened,
but Jae Ryoung was in the next cubicle at the bathroom earlier.
Anyway, I heard you were...
(Deeply sighing)
Did you drink a lot yesterday?
Was that you?
(Were you that guy earlier?)
He's very well-mannered.
In the next cubicle?
Yes, he flushed at the right moment.
- Oh, I see. - He's really well-mannered.
Why do you guys talk about something dirty from the beginning?
(Seriously...)
Lee Moo Song, it's your turn.
Well, that's right...
What?
I'm still not settled well.
I've been married for 25 years.
I'm Lee Moo Song, and I serve No Sa Youn.
- Nice to see you. - Hi.
- It's been 25 years? - I heard...
your hair became grey because of stress.
It's not because of that, right? Did you bleach your hair?
Sa Youn said...
I should be careful with you.
- Hong Seo Beom, it's your turn. - As you all know,
I debuted in 1980 in a rock band called Oxen 80...
- That was really awesome. - with "Playing with Fire".
I set a fire in Korea.
I've been around for 38 years, tenaciously.
I'm the husband of the beautiful singer, Jo Gap Kyeong.
I'm the all-rounder, Hong Seo Beom.
Isn't he a great musician?
He debuted in 1980.
Soo Jong,
you've been hosting a radio show since last year.
- That's right. - What is it?
It's "Every day with You".
- From 9 am to 11am. - That suits you.
- It's a live program. - Oh, really?
I thought today's episode was...
about Radio DJs.
You know we all have experience, hosting radio shows.
- I did it too. - That's right.
Anyway, then I found out...
- I haven't done it. - You did!
- You were the substitute. - Oh, in that case, yes.
- As the substitute. - That's right.
We call it fire fighter.
We are DJs, but you guys are DTs.
"DJ Trainees".
(DJ Trainees)
I think he communicates with young people a lot these days.
Young people don't talk like that.
Well, people in their 40s are still younger than Seo Beom.
That's why he became that way.
(He has a sense of humor of dads in their early 40s.)
Lately, Jae Ryoung has been...
He actually said, he's "Clearly Jobless".
- Yes, I am. - What do you mean?
- Are you not in any drama now? - What does that mean?
- I'm home these days. - Then...
What's your routines?
I'm just jobless.
But you must wake up in the morning though.
- After waking up, - I wake up...
and zone out for a bit.
That's one of your routines.
- What do you do after that? - And...
I check messages on my phone.
You know, a jobless person can actually die from working hard.
Being jobless is actually making me really busy.
When I work, I can't meet anybody...
because of my work.
- But when I'm jobless, I'm busy. - What do you do in the evening?
- You check your phone and... - Well...
Sometimes I drink in the afternoon.
(Drinking in the afternoon?)
So Jae Ryoung said...
the rainy season is the most difficult time of the year.
You know, men are weak at rainy days.
- That's actually true. - So...
- Until the end of the rainy season, - It's great to watch the rain...
- I drink. - while drinking.
When Jae Ryoung heard about...
the other guests today,
he said, "Is it the episode for people who have amazing wives?"
Who do you think is the luckiest guy here?
Of course, it's me.
What makes you think so?
Well,
you know it's always guys making troubles in marriage.
- You know what I mean, right? - That's right.
Marriage works because women forgive us.
Do you not nag her or anything?
Well,
I always guarantee freedom.
I also think...
he's the luckiest guy here.
- What about me? - Well,
I always think...
Moo Song is raised by Sa Youn.
She feeds him well and...
He's the only one who has some belly today.
- Jae Ryoung doesn't have any. - Moo Song's stylish though.
That's right.
On the other hand, Soo Jong really cares about his wife.
- Like we said earlier, - Even then...
- he's the enemy of every man. - He is.
- He's a bit too much. - However,
You Ho Jeong is...
It was in 1991...
when I first met her in person.
I was just sitting and chilling.
Then someone came over to me.
I could feel some extraordinary aura around her.
- She's really beautiful. - It was like...
She was amazingly beautiful and elegant.
- She really was. - I thought so.
She looked like a deer or a rabbit.
That's what I thought in the past.
We all liked her so much when she debuted.
But I found out she is a different person...
after getting married.
- It's clearly different. - That's right.
She's scary.
- Isn't she very easy-going? - Not really.
- Oh well, she's easy-going. - That's...
- She was popular when we're young. - She was amazing.
I mean, all of your wives were really popular then.
Seo Beom, how do you call Sa Yeon?
She is older than me, so I try to be polite.
But she scolded me for trying to be too polite.
How do you call Moo Song then?
- Because he's Sa Youn's husband. - That's...
(Moo Song debuted later than Seo Beom.)
- Isn't that right? - That's...
- Why don't you follow that rule? - So we...
sorted it out before they got married.
You don't have to answer to his questions all the time.
Seo Beom should try to be polite to him as well.
How did you sort it out?
When I first tried to be polite to her,
she was like, "Why are you calling me like that?"
- "Just treat me like your friend." - She had to sort it out.
So we decided to call each other by names.
- I see. - How do you call Seo Beom then?
- But he debuted later than me. - So how did you sort it out?
So you still try to be polite though?
If I'm was still being polite to her,
I would have done the same to him.
That's the right way though.
- That's the general rule. - So you call him...
- by his name. - That's right.
- What about when Sa Youn's around? - When she's with us,
I'm just like, "Hey!".
That's the best way.
That sounds great.
Moo Song, you have appeared on variety shows...
- all of a sudden. - You're in a lot these days.
He hears he's the variety show rookie these days quite often.
I'm sure there's something viewers are expecting from me.
They want to see Sa Youn and I living happily together.
So we've tried hard to only show that part of us for a long time.
Then we felt like that was a bit difficult and boring.
So we decided to show people how we really are.
- So we did. - Something more casual, right?
However, people are actually empathizing with us more.
They think it's more fun.
We got some positive reaction from viewers.
You must have had hard times.
- It's okay. - Goodness.
It's all right, Moo Song.
- It's not what it is. - Don't...
You are trying to make me cry. Don't do that.
- Now... - He became more awesome lately.
More than when he just debuted.
I like when Gook Jin is like that.
- I mean it. - He's such an honest man.
There are only two musicians who went through that change.
- It's Bae Chul Soo and him. - Bae Chul Soo...
- Chul Soo became cleaner. - Is it because of my grey hair?
He was such a mess before.
He was almost like a homeless man.
- That's right. - He's so much cleaner now.
I heard you've been feeling some generation gap since you...
- started to be on variety shows. - It's like...
In the past, think about "4 Books and 3 Classics"...
- and "3 Bonds and 5 Relationships". - Okay.
The books tell us to love our neighbors and parents.
- There are such lessons. - Okay.
When I talked about that, no one understood me.
- That's true. - Even back in the days,
- On variety shows... - we didn't talk about those books.
- Listen. - You'd see them on tests.
- How dare you. - We didn't talk about them.
When you brought that up, even I felt the age gap with you.
- The kids must've felt it a lot. - That's why...
my whole clip got edited out.
They said that people wouldn't like it when that aired.
- No variety shows talk about it. - "3 Bonds and 5 Relationships".
- We studied it in school back then. - That's right.
- Or we would've been scolded. - That's right.
- Moo Song... - If not, we'd be scolded a lot.
- I don't know about that. - Our teachers taught that.
I don't know about that.
I only remember "Read through 4 Books and 3 Classics"...
- in the lyrics for "Kim Satgat". - You should remember.
(Around 10 years ago, I read through "4 Books and 3 Classics")
(Before hitting 20, I passed the test with the highest score)
What did he remember?
(He talks about "4 Books and 3 Classics" on a variety show.)
He used all of those books.
We heard that it was...
the hardest to have an interview with Seo Beom among the four...
- He's busy. - because he was the busiest.
I don't appear on a lot of TV shows,
but I have a lot of club meetings.
- What kind of clubs are you on? - There are a lot of...
- celebrity clubs. - Yes, indeed.
There are four clubs.
- Play Ball is the baseball club. - Play Ball.
- I've been in it for 10 years. - Play Ball. I see.
And I'm in Play Shuttlecock. That one is a badminton club.
- Play Shuttlecock. - Play Shuttlecock.
- You must pronounce it clearly. - They're forcing the names.
People would look at you funny if you don't say it right.
- Play Shuttlecock. - Play Shuttlecock.
What a great name.
(Laughing)
- There's a camping club. - Play Mountain?
- Play Mountain. - I see. Play Mountain.
We go camping and sleep outdoors.
- They're all named after your name. - And then...
there's a drinking club, Play Alcohol. We all like to drink.
On what days do you have the meetings for that club?
We meet up all the time for that club.
- That's why I'm busy. - Play Alcohol.
- My week goes by really quickly. - I see. Club meetings.
If you're unemployed for the moment,
- join our club. What do you think? - Sure.
Do you know how busy I am?
I can't go even if I wanted to.
Soo Jong said that Gu Ra was...
a lovely man.
Thank you. Did you say that about me?
- You really love everyone. - Right.
- It's not that. - He's truly amazing.
Here's what I realized after observing Gu Ra.
- He's not ordinary. - Right.
Here's why.
In order to host a show,
when other guests are talking about something on the show,
Gu Ra pretends to be indifferent towards them,
but he had already finished researching about them.
- That's right. - He thought about...
- I can tell you now. - everything in advance.
- That's what Gu Ra does. - I see.
That's why I ended up saying that Gu Ra was such a lovely person.
In order for him...
to mention something good about a guest,
he would start from the beginning...
- and end with a good impression. - Exactly.
You got the wrong idea about him. He criticizes everyone.
When we compliment each other,
we'd be shy about it.
Another great side of Gu Ra is that...
he stays quiet...
until we compliment him.
- I see. - He waits until we compliment him.
- It's just that... - He's not ordinary at all.
Thanks to you, hosting a show with you had been easy.
I don't know when I'd be in a relationship again,
I thought that you should be my role model.
I'll live the rest of my life in a reverent manner.
I'll focus on having small pleasures.
I do dream about having...
tea with my future every day.
So do you want to start dating then?
I can't live by myself.
- Living alone is better. - I agree.
- Is that better for him? - Yes.
- I can't believe him. - Hey.
- Goodness. - Soo Jong commented that...
Tae Hyun has come a long way.
- You two worked together, right? - Yes, we did.
Have you worked on the same project?
- Yes, we have. - A long time ago.
- It was a drama. - Which one was that?
- It was "First Love". - "First Love".
- Oh, I see. You were on that? - You were on "First Love"?
Of course. I played Yong Joon's friend.
- You were Yong Joon's friend? - It wasn't a big role, right?
Whenever he rode a motorcycle,
Yong Joon would get on the back of the motorcycle and tag along.
(Tae Hyun gave him a lift.)
- It was when you started out? - Yes.
- He was new. He was completely new. - I see.
It was in 1995 or 1996.
Tae Hyun when he first started out and now.
- He hasn't changed. - He's the same.
- People say that... - I agree.
his appearance hasn't changed either.
- His personality so far... - His disposition is the same.
- Right. Everything about him... - He's kind.
is good-natured. And he's the same.
That's why I think that...
whatever shows he stars on or projects he's in,
they are bound to be successful. That's my honest opinion.
You didn't say anything when he complimented you.
I ought to.
- He likes complimenting people. - Listen.
- Every single word he said is true. - He's like an expert.
Jae Ryoung also said that...
Tae Hyun came a long way too.
- Have you worked with him? - That's not what I meant.
He has a unique standing...
- That's right. - as an actor.
No one could play the roles like he did.
That's why I like him.
- No one hates Tae Hyun. - Of course not.
But no one fervently likes him.
That's true. There aren't any hard-core fans,
but no one hates Tae Hyun. That's the truth.
Tae Hyun isn't the only actor they like.
- That's the truth. - Of course.
That's not necessarily true. When his movie came out,
- my friends... Right. - "My Sassy Girl".
- All of my friends loved him. - He was in his heyday then.
"Along with the Gods".
- Even that movie was awesome. - Exactly.
Moo Song, your recent appearance...
on "Same Life, Unlike Dreams 2" with your wife was the talk of the town.
- My gosh. - When you were invited,
you weren't going to join because of Soo Jong.
- I wasn't going to star on it. - Why not? What about him?
After I saw how Soo Jong treated his wife,
- I see your point. - I thought no matter how well...
I treat my wife, I wouldn't be able to make any differences.
I mean, he was perfect on the show.
- Even the event was perfect. - Right.
I thought I wouldn't get anything out of it.
I turned it down about three times.
- You turned it down three times? - A long time ago, when Soo Jong...
had his first child, I went to the hospital.
I went to visit the couple at the hospital.
Do you know what he was doing?
He was blowing a balloon. It was a balloon.
- Is that so? - He was blowing a balloon.
There were already so many balloons on the ceiling...
and the floor as well.
I guess that wasn't enough.
When you blow about 10 balloons,
- you get dizzy. - Yes, you get dizzy.
I saw about 300 balloons on the floor.
I told him that he should just blow about three balloons.
But Soo Jong... I think that...
he must be addicted to throwing surprise events.
Since he's doing it, he'll go big.
(That's how big his events are.)
- To celebrate your child's birth? - No, no.
I didn't do it for my wife.
I didn't blow balloons or decorate with flowers or butterflies for her.
She had a lot of miscarriages,
so she had been hurt a lot.
After realizing that we'd give birth at a hospital like this,
I was lying on my bed.
The whole room was white.
And I thought that when she had to lie down here alone,
she would feel really empty and lonely.
I wanted to see some colors in the room.
That's why I blew balloons,
- hung them, and wrote letters. - Gosh, this is...
That's why I did all that.
- We can't take this as a joke. - No.
We should do small things.
- We ought to do small things. - Right.
- Wives are moved by small acts... - Right.
or short stories.
They're not moved by grand gestures.
- I'm telling you. - Then why do you still throw...
events for her when they're not necessary?
- Do you still do that? - You do?
It's a habit.
- Explain about this. - Soo Jong.
- What else could he do? - He'd get frustrated if he doesn't.
- You already threw many events. - His life would feel suffocating.
- Did you invest in such company? - I have a question.
How many balloons did you blow in your lifetime?
(He's suddenly curious.)
When I want to throw a surprise for her,
- Do you blow balloons? - I blow all of the balloons.
- I still do. - He's one dedicated husband.
Well, anyway,
I do throw surprise events for my wife. I do.
I thought I couldn't match Soo Jong's.
I wanted to join the show some time after Soo Jong had appeared on it.
That's what I thought, but I ended up on the show.
- But people liked you. - It was really fun to watch.
- People like couples that bicker. - Exactly.
- Every couple is different. - I agree.
I bet things have improved at home. Right?
When have we had a bad time? We've been having a happy marriage.
- They're always happy. - We're happy.
She's very good to me.
- She's good to him. - From what I have observed,
I can tell something must have happened yesterday.
(Chuckling)
No comment.
I won't fall for your tricks.
(He fails to scope out the situation.)
Moo Song, you said you wanted to be close friends with Soo Jong,
but you can't try becoming close friends because you might get hurt?
I run into him time to time.
I see him at funerals or shoots like this one.
- He's flawless. - Right.
Sometimes, I want to go over there and talk to him,
but he doesn't let his guard down.
I always see him on his guard.
I worry that if I do go over to him,
- I might get hurt like a fool. - Really?
- What's the age gap? - We're about the same age.
I...
Right now,
I neither drink nor smoke at all.
Did you drink or smoke before?
I mean, I had to go...
- to parties at the end of projects. - You'd drink then.
- I would drink with Jae Ryoung. - I see. You drank before.
But now, I don't drink.
Nowadays, I've been in this industry longer than most of the actors.
I thought that we had an important role.
We could bring out valuable and positive influences on people.
I thought that we were in the center of that journey.
There are a few reasons like that.
- I would love to... - My gosh.
- get to know you anytime. - This is so weird.
We've been talking,
but when Soo Jong starts speaking,
it feels like we're listening to a sermon all of a sudden.
Things get serious right away.
You know what I mean, right?
- This is exactly what I meant. - He does have a point.
- Things get serious. - He summed it up nicely.
- Right now... - See? Gu Ra won't interrupt either.
- Soo Jong... - But the thing is...
I feel like sacred lights are radiating from him.
- Isn't he... - He's flawless.
- considered an elder at church? - He is?
- Yes, he is. - Yes, I am.
(That explains his peaceful stories.)
- Really? - Jo Ha Moon is his brother-in-law.
- That's right. - Oh, right.
- It turns out that he's a pastor. - He's a pastor.
When these two guys meet at a family gathering,
they don't address each other by their names.
He treats Ha Moon as a pastor, and Ha Moon treats him as the elder.
- Right. That would happen. - I can see that happening.
He just mentioned Ha Moon.
- He and I were from the same era. - That's right.
We joined the music festival in the same year.
Ha Moon participated in the festival I had already participated before,
but his band failed to advance.
- And... - Is that what you wanted to say?
No, listen.
- It was when you were popular. - No.
- That's the point of his story. - I...
(He fails to brag.)
Soo Jong and Jae Ryoung have a special history...
with each other's wives.
- A long time ago, they were... - I see.
each other's wives' love interests.
- The wives were the love interests. - Didn't I tell you that?
That's why some people thought my wife was Soo Jong's wife.
- A long time ago? - That's what the public assumed.
- Your wives are about the same age. - Right.
Then are you close with each other's wife?
Jae Ryoung, are you close with Hee Ra?
Soo Jong, are you close with Ho Jeong?
- Of course. - They've been friends...
- for 30 years now. - Do you call them time to time?
For example,
does Ho Jeong call you to ask advice about Jae Ryoung?
Why do you assume my wife needs advice?
Why do you jump to conclusions that it'd be my wife?
- No, listen. Everyone assumes that. - You don't know everything.
- Why do you jump to conclusions? - You haven't seen them, so don't.
Of course, I'm aware of that.
All of a sudden, anger surged over me.
My wife doesn't talk much by nature.
She doesn't go to someone to ask for advice. She doesn't.
- But you'd act in the same dramas. - That's right.
- If she's Soo Jong's love interest, - I bet there's something.
- You'd know about one another. - she'd be acting with him.
She might mention that her husband is driving her crazy.
- Give them something. - It's plausible.
- Give them a story. - Just tell them that.
- You won't do it behind his back. - So this is...
Here's the thing. When you act with someone else,
there are some difficult times during the shoots.
I would ask if something had happened at home.
(Feeling anxious)
It means that something probably happened.
We wouldn't go in detail though. But who would've caused trouble?
That's not true. Let me elaborate.
I'm sure she was troubled by her projects.
- It was about her drama. - That's probably it.
By the way, I have a question.
Let's say that an actor and actress got married.
When the actress works with other actors, she might have to...
- kiss other actors in scenes. - There are scenes like that.
Are you okay with this aspect of her job?
- How do you two feel? - But...
What about you, Soo Jong?
To be honest, as for me,
when we were starring in dramas on TV,
- Right. - we pretended to kiss.
- I didn't have to worry about... - I see.
something like that. And besides,
- I already thought it could happen. - It's her career.
- She can kiss on TV? - Yes, she can.
Anyhow, it'd still feel annoying.
- It wouldn't feel nice. - I know what Moo Song means.
- What do you know? - Moo Song is...
- Don't assume now. - Listen.
The lyrics in some of Sa Youn's songs couldn't pass the censorship.
There are few songs I couldn't release...
because the lyrics didn't pass the censorship.
Let me give you an example.
(Anyone can become you)
She asked me who "anyone" was.
- Anyone means anyone. Who else? - Right.
She kept telling me that I had someone else.
- I see. - I'm sure your songs will...
see the light of the day after your time.
(What? After my time?)
Right now, Sa Youn didn't let you release the songs.
- Don't cause problems at home. - You're inappropriate.
- You're inappropriate. - If the songs are good,
- they'll be loved later on. - I can relate to him.
When I was single, I wanted to write songs about love, farewells,
or anything I was inspired to write.
But after I got married, I couldn't do that because of my identity.
- Yes, there are some difficulties. - But if the songs go well,
your wife will see the benefit of the songs.
- Once she realizes that, - No, it's...
she'd tell you to write sadder and happier lyrics.
Listen. After you got married,
you can write about such lyrics. For example, lyrics like...
Jong Shin's "uphill". Write songs like this.
Think about your days after your marriage.
Write about such days even if they're not about your wife.
See? Things got serious just now again.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with Korea's representative middle-aged couples...
who used to be the hottest couples before.
It's time to praise your wives.
We'll begin today's special, "Bravo, My Wife".
All four of today's guests have been married to their wives...
for over two decades.
I'm curious under what kind of nicknames...
your wives are programmed into your phones.
- Seo Beom? - It's Pretty Singer Jo Gap Kyeong.
- Pretty Singer Jo Gap Kyeong? - Even at home, I call her...
- with that nickname. - "Pretty Singer".
My wife calls me Artist.
- Are you two putting on an act? - No.
- It became a habit. - That didn't sound genuine...
- when you called her nickname. - It became a habit.
One time, she went to an event to perform.
She believes that she has become a pretty singer now.
When they say it's a pretty singer, she thinks she's up next.
At an event, the host said...
- Pretty singer? - a pretty singer was up next.
She rushed out right away.
- You're Artist. - What about you, Moo Song?
I've had her number under Miss Korea for a long time.
- Miss Korea. - Yes.
Well... Yes. She's still...
I... I think that's the right nickname.
(He finishes rather hurriedly.)
It feels like he rushed to end it.
Your wife and Seo Beom's wife fall into the same category.
What do you mean by they're the same? She's clearly beautiful.
- Hey, look. - "Clearly"?
Excuse me. She belongs to the beauty pageant too.
What are you talking about? She was never in the pageant.
- She doesn't have to join it. - She didn't join the preliminary.
Women who don't join the beauty pageants are prettier.
- What about you, Jae Ryoung? - I just have her number...
under Wifie. It's neat.
- Wifie? - Wifie?
- They're not under their names. - Wifie.
- You don't put your kid's name. - It's under Wifie.
What about you, Soo Jong?
I'm really curious.
"Oh, My Love".
- The reason I put... - Oh, my love
- No, no. - It's a cheer?
- That's not how I meant it. - Goodness.
I didn't put "Oh" to cheer for her.
I meant, "Oh, my love".
(Moaning)
- How many wavy lines are there? - Just one.
Then here's my question. Under what nickname...
are you saved in Sa Youn's phone?
Spotted Deer Owner.
(I see.)
- Her nickname is Spotted Deer. - I see.
What about Ho Jeong?
- It's probably "Hubby". - Hubby?
- I don't think he knows. - He doesn't know.
- He doesn't know what it is. - It's probably that.
- "It's probably that." - What about you, Tae Hyun?
It's Wife in mine, and Husband in hers.
Soo Jong, what about Hee Ra?
- What's yours? - I'm sure it's Balloon.
Balloon? It's saved under Balloon?
What if it's Lung Capacity? Lung Capacity.
(It matches his habitual urges to throw an event.)
- I think it's under Sweetie. - Sweetie.
- I see. - She still calls you that.
Seo Beom, you have a special family motto.
A long time ago,
my kids came to me when I was sleeping.
They asked me what our family motto was. It was an assignment.
I said, "having fun".
- "Having fun"? That's a good one. - I wrote it for them.
The kids asked me if I was serious.
They said that other families had mottos about...
diligence and working hard.
- I said having fun was the best. - Exactly.
Ever since then, the motto became having fun.
I have a question. Let's say that you go abroad with your friends.
Do you ask for permission? Do you just inform her?
- Me? I just inform her. - Yes.
He's just notifying her.
What about your wife? When she goes on trips,
- does she do the same or what? - It's like giving a notice.
Think about it. I do whatever I want.
- I can't try to control her. - It's mutual.
- They just inform each other. - What about you, Jae Ryoung?
Well, it's the same with me too.
"I'm going on a trip next month for six days."
- There are cases like this. - You still need her go-ahead.
- Shouldn't you get that? - She should know, right?
- I went to Jeju for a golfing trip. - Right, trips like that.
My wife called me when I was golfing.
She was asking me something, so I answered it and hung up.
She called me again, so we talked.
She asked me where I was and I told her I was in Jeju Island.
- She asked me when I left for it. - I see.
I said, "Didn't I tell you?"
- That happened to me too. - "I'm sure I told you about it."
It's the same with me.
When I told her that, my wife went,
"Oh, you did?" She asked me when I was coming back then.
Then she wished me a good trip.
Moo Song is really jealous. His eyes got as big as this.
- He looked really jealous. - He's so jealous.
- How do you handle it, Moo Song? - You need permission, right?
- Say you're going to Jeju to golf. - Listen.
It's not that. We would discuss it together.
- It means you need her to approve. - Discussions are...
- It's lower than getting approvals. - "Can I go on this trip or not?"
That's equivalent to filing petitions.
- "I must go. Everyone is going." - Trips she's not joining you?
I can go if I want to. I can.
- There may be family occasions. - Wait, you can't go.
That's why I try to work out the schedule.
I'd see I'd be free on certain days.
- I'd suggest going on trips then. - Did you hear that?
- "I'm pickling plums next Tuesday." - That's a discussion?
"You can't go then." Is this how your discussions go?
When Moo Song was speaking,
he stuttered a bit like "Can I... Can I go?"
He was trailing off.
What about you, Soo Jong?
For trips that your wife won't join you.
- He wouldn't think about going. - No, he goes on trips without her.
And I'm sure your wife understands that, right?
- In my opinion, - We're so curious.
I am curious indeed.
Married couples must have...
the same goal in life.
- They must share hobbies. - See?
- I knew he wouldn't. - In order for us to do that...
- Please continue. - We have pros and cons of our jobs.
- We can share our days completely. - I knew it. I told you so.
Even until now, I still exercise with my wife.
- I do. - Really?
Say that I went golfing 10 times.
Then I golfed with her about nine times.
The only one time... I couldn't get out of it.
Jae Ryoung said that...
I couldn't bring my wife to the game.
- I'd tell my wife... - He's got my respect.
- and try to explain. - Here's what I think.
- I always try to go with her. - He goes with her or he doesn't.
- That's what happens. - Here's my observation.
- Soo Jong is about the same age... - He's so different.
with Jae Ryoung and Moo Song, but Seo Beom is older than him.
Seo Beom was questioning if he should listen to him or not.
(It makes him reflect on his actions.)
- Anyway... - This question about trips...
- You misunderstood the question. - It was quite a simple question.
Everyone understands one another and lives their lives together.
But when you go on trips, how do you break it to her? Do you inform her?
- Or do you... - I could never do that.
How could I ever just inform her?
That's impossible.
- I can understand their style. - Of course.
- I completely get it. - We can understand everyone's.
- I can understand him. - Soo Jong...
Soo Jong's method is ideal.
- We just can't live accordingly. - Right.
- That's right. - That's the right answer.
That's right.
Seo Beom,
you have never used separate rooms with your wife after a fight.
We are a big family.
We lived with both of my parents...
before my dad passed away.
We have three children.
There are never enough rooms.
- I see. - There isn't a spare room.
There can't use a separate room even when you want to.
I can only go to the living room.
The family worries when you sleep in the living room.
It gets too cold when I sleep in the living room.
I once caught a cold after sleeping in the living room.
That's why I have no choice but to sleep next to my wife.
Do you have a way of making up after a fight?
The thing is,
I can't stand to stay silent.
However, my wife is the type...
to stay silent when she is angry.
- She stays silent. - I have to pacify her.
To pacify her, I use physical contact.
I hug her from the back.
You can't do it out of the blue...
when she is cold towards you.
When she shakes me off angrily,
I hug her one more time.
I continue to do that.
- I bet he doesn't have big fights. - After doing this for a while,
she stays still.
Then we talk.
It's not much of a trick.
- That's your trick. - It's not easy to attempt that...
when you are angry as well.
- I am angry as well. - It's admirable.
Men need to hold back for the peace of the household.
Men should be the center.
It wouldn't do to make a fight last long.
You shouldn't focus on water under the bridge.
- You are right. - Why did you groan when he talked?
(He was unhappy about something.)
You know,
it's wrong to say that men should be the center.
(It's wrong to say that men should be the center.)
(I can't believe I said that in front of Soo Jong.)
- You were wrong from the start. - When you talked...
"He shouldn't be that way."
That's why I groaned.
What do you do after a fight?
Why would you have a fight?
So many things don't make sense to him.
- "Why would you have a fight?" - Why would you have a fight?
My goodness.
Jae Ryoung, how do you make up after a fight?
- We don't fight. - I see.
A fight involves action from both parties.
I simply kneel.
When my wife scolds me, I listen.
Do you want me to bring you a pair of good knee bands?
They will protect your knees.
Jae Ryoung...
wouldn't fight with his wife...
because he never sees her.
(He drinks outside too often.)
That makes sense.
Why would you be so certain about that?
(He got caught.)
How strange!
Seo Beom told me something when he and I met up for beer.
"My wife and I..."
"manage our finances separately."
"When I inquired about her financial situation,"
"she got mad at me for taking an unnecessary interest."
- He was upset about that. - That's right.
In the past few years,
my wife paid more general income tax than me.
- I guess she makes a lot of money. - You keep the money separate.
We keep the money separate.
Since she doesn't spend money on anything,
I realized that she must have saved a hefty sum. I asked her,
"How much money did you save?
She became angry at me.
"Why do you want to know that?"
I was like,
"It was only a question!"
I bet you were sad.
I wasn't sad. I was scared.
You still have your eyes on your wife's fortune, right?
(You still have your eyes on your wife's fortune, right?)
I don't have...
- my eyes on her fortune. - Don't lie.
I pay for everything the family needs.
- You pay for everything. - Utility bills, kids' education,
and taxes. I pay for everything.
I spend everything I earn.
I am also a head of a club.
I have to spend money to keep it going.
- I don't have any money left. - You spend more than you earn.
I was worried about my later years,
so I inquired about her fortune in hopes to depend on her.
She became angry.
Why would you ask if you can depend on her?
You should simply go and depend on her.
That's a good answer.
Go and depend on her.
Do it stealthily so that she doesn't find out.
You wanted to know...
if you can depend on your wife.
That's right.
I was curious.
Moo Song, how do you and Sa Youn...
manage the finances?
- We do it separately. - You do it separately.
A lot of people do it separately.
When you need money, don't you go,
"Give me some money"?
Well...
"Give me some money"?
- He has never talked that way. - That's my expression.
- "Give me some money"? - Have you never done it?
Have you lent or borrowed money...
- from Sa Youn? - Have you?
I don't know.
Well...
I don't know.
(Laughing)
It's a bit similar to his situation.
She said, "Don't try to find out."
Really?
- The two of you are different. - That's part of the reason.
Is it the same with you, Jae Ryoung?
We manage our finances jointly.
- Jointly? - That's good.
Do you take out as much money as you want?
My goodness.
I mean,
I don't use it as I want.
(I don't use it as I want.)
Soo Jong, you and your wife manage your finances jointly.
Of course.
With this household, the couple is the center.
(I have no words.)
Moo Song, is your entire fortune under Sa Youn's name?
- Yes, it is. - Here is the thing.
I am sure it will never happen,
but it doesn't matter under whose name the fortune is.
When it comes to divorce,
- the fortune gets divided in half. - Half.
- A couple... - The law...
protects the weak.
"The law protects the weak."
My goodness.
Why do you think I am the weak?
Listen.
- Hold on. - The same thing happened.
The same thing happened with Sa Youn.
(They say married couples resemble each other.)
(His wife charged to Gu Ra the same way.)
- You always make a fool of me. - It's not like that.
It's not like that.
I was simply telling you not to worry.
It doesn't matter under whose name the fortune lies.
I was simply telling you how it is.
You don't need to worry.
- The name is inconsequential. - I feel like I became the weak.
You aren't the strong either.
The name is inconsequential.
It's not important in any way.
In any case,
I always tell myself that...
I might be driven out without a shirt on my back.
I am comfortable.
(Joking)
Soo Jong,
you said the internet tells you...
why you should listen to women.
There are five things women want in their old age...
and five things men want in their old age.
Women want...
money, health, friend,
sauna, and daughter.
What's missing?
- Husband. - Husband is missing.
Women need these things in their old age.
Men want...
spouse, life partner, other half,
significant other, and wife.
That's the case.
Men only want one person.
- Because of that... - Men need their wives.
That's right.
There are also ways to make women happy...
and ways to make men happy.
Some ways to make women happy include...
celebrating anniversaries, kissing, hugging,
and such.
There are 500 ways to make women happy.
It's impossible for men to do everything.
There are only three ways women can make men happy.
Cooking for them, letting them rest, and leaving them be.
In that case,
how should men live?
Men will end up living with their heads bowed anyway.
- Okay. - It would be better to start...
living with your head bowed right now.
He learned at the age of 60.
A man isn't the center.
A couple is the center of the household.
- What do you think? - You know,
while I don't necessarily agree,
his words draw me in.
- Seriously. - Jae Ryoung,
you depend on your wife a lot.
- I already live with my head bowed. - That's right.
- It happened a long time ago. - That's right.
I cook for her, let her rest, and kneel.
(I cook for her, let her rest, and kneel.)
- Those things make my wife happy. - That's good.
I kneel, kneel, and kneel.
(The 3 things make everyone happy.)
Jae Ryoung, although you listen to everything you wife says,
she only listens to one thing you say. What is that?
When she chooses work, she becomes hesitant.
Then I give her advice.
She bases her decision on your advice.
The results have been good.
She trusts your judgment.
"Sunny"...
was a movie that received a lot of love.
- "Sunny". - She was hesitant about it.
- "Sunny" became a hit. - Because of that,
I asked Tae Hyun for advice.
I had worked with the director for his first movie,
"Speed Scandal".
I remember what Tae Hyun said.
Tae Hyun said...
the director told him to laugh in a certain scene.
He didn't understand,
but smiled anyway.
"Do you want me to laugh like this?"
He did it.
After the editing process,
he saw that the laugh worked...
- when it was pieced together. - That's the director's expertise.
I guess actors base their decisions on how good a work is.
The singers go,
"How much will I get?"
"How many songs do they want for that price?"
(Smiling)
Soo Jong truly is the enemy of all husbands.
I heard that you do all of the household chores.
When the topic came up during the preliminary interview,
your eyes began to sparkle.
(Laughing)
Thinking about it makes him happy.
Do you want to give us a demonstration?
- We made preparations. - He is the best.
- Really? - We made preparations.
Please show us how you fold clothes and put them away.
My goodness.
Why did you bring so much?
- Let's watch. - Let's watch.
- Will you organize these clothes? - I bet you get a smaller pile.
- As you can see, - Let's watch.
there are towels.
Give me a towel.
I fold it like anyone else,
but I lay it down in a special way.
- I fold it like this. - You folded it.
Then I pay attention to the display.
- You make it thin. - I see.
- You alternate the colors. - I fold the towels...
- and... - You alternate the colors.
I do this.
- It looks pretty. - It's easy to take one out.
- It's easy to take one out. - That's right.
It's a good tip.
- It became a habit. - Also...
- Socks. - As for the socks,
folding them this way makes them bigger.
That's why...
I put one sock in another...
like this.
You make them into one piece.
This is fascinating.
As for something like this...
- That's what they do at a shop. - Yes.
- That's right. - You fold it like that.
- It takes a lot of effort. - How does he do that?
- That's how he does it. - I see.
That's what they do at a shop.
That's how clothes are displayed.
I do it for every T-shirt.
- You folded them quickly. - Yes.
As for the trunks,
they can take up...
- a lot of space. - Yes.
I fold them into thirds.
Then I fold them in the middle...
and tuck everything inside.
I tuck everything inside.
Then I put the trunks side by side.
My mother-in-law does that.
Moo Song, how do you do it?
I use the basic method.
Moo Song knows how to fold clothes.
He knows how to do it.
Seo Beom, why don't you try folding clothes?
- I have never done it. - Try it.
It's not hard.
Are you a king?
(He wrinkles it...)
(and throws it on the table.)
(That's how Seo Beom does a household chore.)
My goodness.
You know,
that's how you put dirty clothes in the laundry basket.
(They can't believe what they saw.)
Why did you wrinkle the clean piece of clothing?
It's easier.
If you do that,
people will think it needs to be washed.
I do this...
and put it in the drawer.
I put it in the drawer.
Like this.
Then I take it out and wear it.
(He decided to save time.)
This is what they do at a shop.
Here are briefs.
How do you fold briefs?
Briefs.
You use the same method. The principle is the same.
- You fold them in thirds. - I fold them.
Once I fold them...
- and tuck everything in... - That's how you do it.
Yes. This is what you get...
in the end.
They sit side by side in the drawer.
Then you can take out one at a time.
- That's how you do it. - He is good.
- Why don't you try folding them? - Try folding them.
Try folding them.
Try folding them. You learned.
- Here. - Show us what you learned.
- This is how you learn. - That's not the right method.
(He rolls them up like gimbap.)
- What is wrong with him? - He has no desire to learn.
- Seriously. - He is folding them in the middle.
This is how you do it.
(He folds the briefs messily.)
Is this a sock you just took off?
If you do this, people will put them in the laundry basket.
(It looks like it should be washed again.)
My family piles up clean clothes.
To find what you need, you have to do this.
(It might take 500 years.)
Seriously.
Doesn't Gap Kyeong organize them?
No, she doesn't.
She is busy.
We pile up clothes.
The ones at the bottom can't be retrieved.
Soo Jong, you said that...
you don't fight with you wife, Ha Hee Ra,
- because you don't nag at her. - That's right.
Hee Ra is the type to throw clothes on the floor.
Then I simply fold them and put them away.
I don't ask, "Why did you do that?"
I simply put them away.
If you make an unnecessary comment...
and nag at your wife,
- it can lead to a fight. - That's right.
It's not easy to do that.
- The thing is... - It's the right answer.
- I get that it's the right answer. - We can't live that way.
You want a wife like Soo Jong, right?
(He is an unexpected ideal type.)
That happened to me once.
After the wedding, we fought a lot since my wife didn't clean up.
Then I thought to myself, "I should clean up."
It's similar to what Soo Yong said.
"It's easy when I clean up."
"Why did I fight with my wife?"
That's how I began to clean up,
but there is a limit to your perseverance.
- You forced yourself. - I became angry again.
Soo Jong is incredible.
- That's right. - The thing is,
it changes after time.
I cleaned up without complaints...
and put away folded clothes.
Then one day,
Hee Ra began to feel bad.
Now, she folds clothes...
- when I am busy. - The habits become similar.
That's right.
I am similar to Soo Jong in that regard.
When I see something, I put it away.
- That's right. - You have more time.
- That's right. - You feel uncomfortable...
when you don't do anything at home.
That's why you keep moving your body.
I don't feel uncomfortable.
Don't talk as if I should feel uncomfortable.
The process that leads up to the conversation...
is what's important.
That's where you have problems.
Come to this side.
Why would you go to that side?
(He is beginning to side with Soo Jong.)
Soo Jong is just like other husbands in this regard.
When Hee Ra seems to be in a bad mood,
you become scared.
- I become wary. - You become wary.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Isn't everyone the same?
When she doesn't say anything,
I go, "What is up with this atmosphere?"
- "Did I do something wrong?" - You get chills.
You get that feeling.
What do you do then?
I stay silent.
(He acts like furniture or wallpaper.)
"What's wrong? What is up with this atmosphere?"
- You shouldn't do that. - You shouldn't do that.
"What is going on?"
- "What is up with the atmosphere?" - You don't know.
When I wait and wait,
- she tells me. - That's frustrating.
It's not frustrating.
She tells me before I become frustrated.
I must have thought wrong.
You changed in a short period of time.
- A change of heart. - It's the effect Soo Jong has.
I will go to that side.
(I will go to that side.)
Jae Ryoung, what do you do in that situation?
If the atmosphere is like that, I go out without a word.
He goes out.
- You go out without a word. - That's a bit different.
- Is it better when you come back? - It's the same, right?
I don't remember much after that.
He went out and drank.
I run away.
This is about Jae Ryoung.
Jee Seok Jin visited the show the last time...
and gave us a lecture on the difference...
between a written apology and a memorandum.
You said you said it first.
- That's right. - There is a difference.
That's right.
People think the two are the same,
but there is a big difference.
One is creative writing...
while the other is transcription.
You know how hard it is to create something.
- That's right. - An apology is creative writing.
That's right. You have to think of what to write.
As for a memorandum, you write down as you are told.
It's convenient.
You don't write it these days, do you?
Of course. It has been 20 years.
Both of you realized that it's meaningless.
I wouldn't say it was the both of us.
I knew it was meaningless from the start.
You had no intention to change.
The words didn't come from my heart.
Because my wife wanted it,
I thought I would do it for her.
"This man..."
"doesn't take a memorandum seriously."
"Writing one is only a burden."
After my wife felt that, she changed.
I bet...
your wife was sad, but it can't be helped.
I don't know about that.
- You don't know. - Jae Ryoung doesn't think about...
- other people's emotions. - No.
(He is unconcerned.)
What comes after the memorandum?
- What comes after it? - What comes after it?
What comes after the memorandum?
Abandonment.
"It's impossible to fix this."
Your wife is wise.
She goes, "It's impossible to fix this."
People around you...
like Yoon Da Hoon and Kim Min Jong...
love hanging out with you.
"Since it's the joy of his life,"
- "I won't touch it." - That's right.
Da Hoon even opened a restaurant.
It's a chicken and beer restaurant.
- That's right. - I visited many times.
It has been a month since the restaurant opened...
and Da Hoon visited it for 29 days.
(Da Hoon visited it for 29 days.)
I visited it for 31 days.
I visited more often than the owner.
(He is a customer who threatens the owner's position.)
That's unbelievable.
- I met everyone there. - I see.
- I wanted to help him. - Yes.
- So is his business going well? - It seems to me...
- It's closed down. - It's closed down?
I went to my friend's house. I was going to lift the toilet seat...
to pee while standing up, but he said I shouldn't.
- He told me to pee sitting down. - You should do that at home.
More husbands than you think pee sitting down.
- I do that at home. - So do I.
Did you give your wife a written promise or is it your choice?
I'm just following my survival instinct.
- So you pee sitting down? - Yes.
- I do that half and half. - I do it at others' houses too.
- I tried it. It was comfortable. - Was it?
If you think about a toilet, it's designed to be sat on.
- You should sit on it. - Now, I pee sitting down.
- You're right about that. - Yes.
Besides, it was easy to aim when I was younger, but now...
- What was that? - You don't need to share that.
- You see... - That wasn't necessary.
(Laughing)
Moo Song, you have fought with Sa Youn...
regardless of the time and place. Is that true?
We were enjoying a drive.
We had a fight, and she told me to get out of the car.
I didn't even know where we were.
I got out, and she left.
- She abandoned you? - Yes, she did.
I had to find a way home.
(Scary)
- What happened next? - What did you do wrong?
I bet he did nothing so wrong.
- It's not like that. - He's not that kind of person.
- She has a temper. - That's why I'm curious.
- She abandoned him... - He wouldn't do anything...
so wrong that he deserves that.
- We wouldn't know that. - Why are you crying?
She thought it'd be better if you two were separated at that moment.
- Yes. That's a good way to put it. - "We shouldn't be together now."
- It could've been worse. - "So let's take a break."
- Yes. - "We shouldn't keep fighting."
So when you get out of the car...
while having a drive, you just trudge home?
You made it sound so pathetic. I trudge home?
- In fact... - How else should I have put it?
- I mean... - I can just call someone.
Why would I trudge home?
- That's so sad. - You see...
- The point of his story... - Yes.
- What was the problem? - what happened before that.
But he wouldn't do anything so bad.
Nevertheless, I'm sure you two got to that point,
because the word you chose,
the tone of your voice,
or the facial expression you made...
- was wrong. - Next time,
don't invite me and Seo Beom with the other two.
I used to feel better and forget...
only 1 or 2 hours after I argued with my wife.
These days, it's hard to hold back.
I complain to her right when I feel upset.
For example, she criticizes...
the way I dress.
"Don't wear that."
People always say that I dress well and I look younger.
"Why would you wear a black shirt on such a hot day?"
- She would say something like this. - Exactly.
This brand...
- is so popular in New York. - That's right.
- You look great in it. - Right?
I know what I'm doing, but she says something like what he said.
- "It's summer. You look stuffy." - "Why would you pick a dark color?"
"Do you think those shoes go well with your clothes?"
"I mean, you have short legs."
Criticizing your body is really bad.
- It's really bad. - It's upsetting.
Then I come to think I should change my clothes.
But after getting changed, I don't feel like myself.
At some point, I didn't feel like an artist,
the composer of my song, "What is Life".
- I'm just No Sa Youn's... - You're like her pet.
- I think... - Why did you ruin the mood?
They say a singer's life turns out like his song titles.
"What is Life".
- You see what I mean, right? - He's funny.
When I was younger, I used to wear...
- tight, bleached jeans, - That's right.
- a vest, and boots. - I remember that.
- That's right. - I brought a vest into fashion.
Tight jeans too. She should appreciate my fashion sense.
But she doesn't think so.
She doesn't like my style.
Oh, dear. I feel so bad for him,
but we can't hear him complaining any longer...
as we're running out of time.
That's a weird way to wrap up. I wasn't complaining.
You asked me to tell stories like this.
- I wonder what Soo Jong thinks. - That was funny.
- I'm curious. - What should he do?
- What should he do? - What's your opinion?
I always check the color of the outfit Ha Hee Ra picked first,
and then I find something that would go well with her clothes.
I just try to match our clothes.
I don't insist on my choice of clothes.
- I'm not picky. - Gosh. I want to punch him.
Husbands, choose your outfit after your wife did.
(Today's lesson)
- Is that advice of the day? - Yes.
Advice of the day.
Cater to my wife's taste.
Did you rush out to the veranda because you felt so lonely?
Oh, that. It was a long time ago.
I did that while I was arguing with my wife.
From my perspective, what she said was wrong.
But she persisted in her opinion, and so I was upset.
I don't know if others hear this from their wife too.
"I know you better than anyone else."
"What you did was wrong." It makes me really angry.
It's because I believe...
a husband and wife must be on each other's side.
Regardless of whether I'm right or wrong,
I want her to side with me instead of judging me.
I wonder if it's true. Do you think...
a couple know everything about each other?
- No. - I don't think it's true.
Of course, it's not true.
- Exactly. - It's not possible...
- even after 30 years of marriage. - You can't know all about her.
- There are things you don't know. - Maybe Soo Jong is different.
- Soo Jong, what about you? - I bet it's the same for him.
- I don't know all about her. - You don't?
- Thank you so much. - It's not possible.
Where could I talk about this?
So I went out to the veranda.
- Since we live in an old apartment, - Right.
there's a large space, so she can't hear me screaming.
I shout out in the veranda whenever I'm angry.
"Every Korean is being fooled by No Sa Youn!"
It makes me feel a little better.
(It's good that it helps.)
Soo Jong...
quit drinking and fishing.
But there's one thing he can't give up on.
- He likes playing soccer. - It's soccer.
When I go home late...
after filming my drama,
and I have a soccer game in a few hours,
I tried to save some time to spend in the morning.
I sleep in my uniform to wear in the soccer game.
I put on my uniform before I go to bed.
- I can save a lot of time. - Right.
- I just have to wash my face. - You can leave right away.
- So... - He really likes playing soccer.
- Yes. - That's why I once said...
that he must've been a soccer player in his past life.
He wasn't a famous player.
He was benched all the time.
So he became resentful.
- That's why... - Because of his past life...
- His past life... - That makes sense.
He actually slept in his uniform.
He said the same thing that Hee Ra said.
About 10 years ago, I watched...
a celebrities' soccer match. He was really fast.
Are you as fast as you were?
- Well, I still run fast. - He's really fast.
- He runs like a wild animal. - That's right.
He runs across the field at full speed.
- So I thought, - Does he really make that sound?
"Does he run without watching the ball?"
The ball was here, but he kept running.
- He's fast. - "He should watch the ball."
Jae Ryoung never did anything behind his wife,
but he got caught doing something secretly at his first attempt.
- Lee Jae Hoon of Cool. - Yes.
He plays tennis with a few friends of his.
- Right. - He also ride a motorcycle.
He's as good as a racer.
He's good at all kinds of sports activities.
That's right. He said I need a hobby...
- at my age. - I see.
- He suggested riding a motorcycle. - That's every man's dream.
I asked if it's fun, and he said it's so exciting.
I took his advice and got a license.
And I bought a motorcycle too.
They said long distance riding is more fun.
I liked the idea and said I'd join them. I told my wife...
- that I'd go to play golf. - I see.
- I left home, get changed, - That's a good plan.
put on my helmet, and set off.
- I found it so much fun. - I see.
I enjoyed the speed and the feeling of wind streaming past my face.
After having a good time, I drank with them and went home.
My wife saw me and said, "You said you'd go to play golf."
I said yes, and she looked confused.
It turned out I got drunk and forgot about the helmet.
- I was flustered. - My gosh.
- He drank too much. - I can't believe you.
Oh, he had a drink.
- Before going home. - We had a wrap-up party.
- I drank too much. - Oh, I see.
She told me to check myself in the mirror, so I did as she said.
(He was surprised when he saw himself in the mirror.)
- She... - Do you still ride a motorcycle?
I decided to quit riding a motorcycle,
and back then,
Yoon Da Hoon smoked.
He told me to stop riding a motorcycle...
because my wife was worried.
So I said if he quit smoking, I would quit it.
- So I quit it, - You quit riding a motorcycle.
- and Da Hoon quit smoking. - I see.
I think Soo Jong likes riding a motorcycle too.
- Well, yes. - It must be fun.
- In fact, Korea became... - It's fun.
the 12th country to produce motorcycles larger than 650cc.
I didn't know that.
I was offered the first model produced in Korea.
Usually, motorcycle reminds people...
of dangerous biker gangs.
They wanted people to think that everyone can enjoy it.
They offered me the first model, so I accepted it.
It's actually a healthy leisure activity.
- Absolutely. - Unless you ride too fast.
Of course.
It's safe if you just enjoy watching the scenery.
- If you go too fast... - That's bad.
Anyway, the motorcycle arrived.
- You received it. - Yes.
I parked it in the basement.
I put the suit...
and the helmet in the trunk of my car.
But I got caught by Hee Ra.
- Did you hide it from her? - Of course, I did.
- I thought he hid nothing from her. - He has no choice.
She caught me in only two days.
She told me to choose between getting divorced...
- and giving up on the motorcycle. - She's cool.
- Their wives are all... - I said I'd give up on it.
- I returned it next day. - I see.
I haven't ridden a motorcycle ever since.
Whenever I see people riding a motorcycle, I envy them.
I just envy them.
- You did the right thing. - It's every man's dream.
(Honey, did I do well?)
Moo Song, you've been losing your confidence as a man.
What do you mean by that?
- "Confidence as a man". - As a man...
Do you have a problem?
That's what an honorary ambassador would say.
He's the honorary ambassador of impotence.
- Hasn't it been 10 years? - Yes, it has.
Is it like a lifetime job?
There's no one who would take up the job.
(He has been the honorary ambassador for 13 years unintentionally.)
You're the honorary ambassador for erectile dysfunction prevention.
- What are your responsibilities? - I'll explain.
It's not a disease, but they tend to hide it...
- as it can hurt their pride. - Right.
- They may feel less masculine. - They pretend they have no problem.
You need a prescription for the medicine.
So they get fake medicine somewhere.
- They should go to a hospital. - I encourage them...
- to get proper treatment. - That's what you do.
If someone has a symptom, he can just go to a hospital...
- That's right. - He's the honorary ambassador.
- Moo Song, what about you? - As men age,
they develop prostate problems.
When calcification develops,
it causes weak urine stream.
Things like this make me wonder...
if this is what aging is like.
- You're simply aging. - I went to see a doctor...
and was told that my symptoms may cause some health problems.
It's different from when you were younger.
- It's definitely different. - Right.
So when I feel the physical changes,
I realize that I have aged.
I'm sorry to cut you off.
This is how every man should be.
A lot of men pretend... This is my role.
- He... - He admitted it.
- It's a sensitive matter. - Excuse me.
What did I admit?
You said you have a problem.
I didn't say that.
Hand over your position to him.
Let him be the honorary ambassador.
Listen. I appeared on a TV show...
that Park Myung Soo hosts and was chosen...
as the healthiest man. What's wrong with you?
So did he admit it?
- What did I admit? - He...
(I can't believe you!)
- Okay. We didn't think that way. - I mean...
(Don't get a wrong idea.)
Let Moo Song be the honorary ambassador.
You must have no problem to be the honorary ambassador.
(A serious face)
He and his jokes.
- Gosh. Seriously. - Seriously.
Our viewers might misunderstand us.
- We're not talking anything sexual. - Never.
- We're talking about medical facts. - It's about men's health.
- It's about health. - Especially for those who have...
- been married for over 30 years, - That's right.
maintaining a healthy relationship is very important.
- It's necessary. - Right.
- It's allowed only on Radio Star. - Of course.
Meanwhile, Soo Jong...
can't handle his overflowing energy.
Oh, boy. I just...
- I... - We saw how he folded laundry.
He folds it so neatly.
When it's the right time, that moment will come.
- However... - "That moment"?
Are you talking about what Moo Song is going through?
No. I...
I didn't mean it like that.
- He has no choice. - It's not a disease.
- Exactly. - It's just a symptom.
So how is your condition?
- I'm getting there, but... - His time hasn't come yet.
- My time hasn't come yet. - I see.
If a healthy man in his 70s hears us,
he might laugh at us.
- Of course. - He's right.
I think you're still very young.
Does drinking affect that too?
Drinking every single day...
Are you telling me to admit it?
(Is it my turn?)
- My goodness. - That's not what I meant.
- Shall we move on to alcohol? - I'm just curious.
(He's still too young to admit anything.)
Among teenagers these days,
the line of succession of Korean kings...
goes like King Gojong, King Sunjong, and then Choi Soo Jong.
- That rhymes with the rest. - I like that.
- That's cute. - They say that.
- He's like a history book. - That's right.
- I'll show you. - Which kings did he play?
- The picture on top... - These will tell us.
- He's amazing. - Look at this.
Choi Soo Jong destroyed Baekje.
- He played Kim Chun Chu. - In "Dream of the Emperor".
- Which photo is it? - It's on top.
- It's on the top row. - They're placed in order.
- He's a king of Silla. - Choi Soo Jong built up Balhae.
- He played Dae Jo Yeung. - Right.
- It was in the northern area. - Choi Soo Jong...
swept all the pirates.
- We're back to Silla. - He played Jang Bo Go.
- Choi Soo Jong founded Goryeo. - Is it "Taejo Wang Geon"?
And then he saved Joseon.
- Yi Sun Sin. - He played Yi Sun Sin too.
Choi Soo Jong was confined in a wooden rice chest.
- Crown Prince Sado. - Right here.
Choi Soo Jong also established Sasang typology.
- Yi Je Ma. - That's right. Yi Je Ma.
And then Choi Soo Jong fought in the Korea War.
- "Comrade in Arms". - He played a noncom.
- He played in that drama too? - Yes, he did.
- "Comrade in Arms". - Right.
- It reminds me of old memories. - In the end,
- he becomes a president. - He played a president too.
Therefore, Choi Soo Jong is about 1,400 years old.
There are many famous actors these days,
but back then, Soo Jong was an one and only actor.
- He was on top. - So...
only if they failed to cast Soo Jong...
for some reason,
they gave a chance to other actors.
- He was the best. - Who would you compare him to...
- among the young actors these days? - None.
- There's none like him these days. - Now,
- we have to combine a few of them. - Right. He was amazing.
- In the 1990s. - Yes.
In fact, back in the days,
- most dramas were modern dramas. - That's right.
I played Crown Prince Sado in "500 Years of Joseon Dynasty".
It was my first period drama.
Actually, I played in...
less than 10 period dramas.
- I see. - I only played in a few.
- They're long-running dramas. - Yes.
They're long-running dramas and were very popular.
So people talk as if I'm the best actor...
- for a period drama. - The best actor to play a king.
But compared to my senior actors with great acting skills,
I'm not that good.
While Soo Jong played many different kings,
Jae Ryoung played...
- a doctor many times. - That's right.
He wore a white coat so many times.
He played a 1st-year resident in "General Hospital".
He played a staff surgeon in "General Hospital 2".
- I played in this drama too. - Tae Hyun played in it too.
He played an executive director...
- in "Beautiful Mind". - I see.
- You can open your own hospital. - Well...
Since I played a doctor in many dramas,
- You have medical knowledge. - Yes.
When I hear doctors in the elevator at a hospital,
- I can see the patient's condition. - You know the jargon.
- He's almost like a real doctor. - I understand what they say.
You had to memorize your lines.
You played the director of a hospital too recently.
Oh, that...
My friend who is a drama director...
said there's a role of the director of a hospital...
and asked me to make a cameo appearance...
since I had played a doctor before.
I said I would do it, but when I went to see him,
he asked me to film for three days.
- I had only 3 scenes. - 3 days for only 3 scenes?
"Three days?"
I asked where they would film the drama.
He said that one of my scenes will be filmed in Tanhyeon,
one in Seoul,
- and the last one in Cheongju. - I see.
I said, "What?"
"Do you not know what a cameo role means?"
(It's not easy to be the director.)
Moo Song's "What is Life"...
sold 3 million copies including the unofficial sales figures.
- It was hard to estimate. - That's true.
This is how I estimated the sales.
The official sales figure is only 500,000.
Back then,
counterfeit music CDs were widespread.
They just sold them on the street.
- It was called Street board Chart. - Street board Chart.
- One day, - It was widespread.
My junior singer told me to come to Busan quickly.
I asked why and went to Busan.
My song, "What is Life", was played every 30m on the streets...
- in all areas in Busan... - It was played everywhere.
all day long.
The song was played everywhere all night long.
It was illegal, but there was a music chart based on the sales.
- It was called Street board Chart. - Street board Chart.
One day, I got a call.
I answered.
He asked if It was me, and I said yes.
The first thing he said was thank you.
I asked why he thanked me.
He said he was the president of the fake music CD association.
- He was the president? - Yes.
- Is that an actual thing? - I asked the same thing.
He said his business hadn't gone well,
but he was able to make ends meet thanks to my song.
- He said I did such a great thing. - So...
Did you meet him...
and have a meal with him?
No. He wouldn't have showed up.
- We only talked on the phone. - I bet he used a public phone.
"They'll trace this number. I'm sorry."
"Thank you. Take care." And then he hung up.
"I can't talk to you any longer than one minute."
(The brief encounter with the association president)
Seo Beom claimed that he is Korea's first rapper.
- Of course, I am. - It's true.
- "Kim Satgat". - Yes.
- That's right. - It was Korea's first rap song.
Many of my junior singers claim that they're the first rapper.
When I released that song,
- I hadn't even heard of rap. - Right.
At a nightclub,
I heard "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith.
- I was so inspired by the song. - I see.
That's how I came up with the whole concept.
And I released the song.
But people didn't know it was a rap song.
They didn't even know what rap is.
I said, "This is the new trend of Korean pop music."
I was confident.
I visited all the radio studios in MBC.
I asked them to play my new song.
I saw it was written "Out of selection"...
in red letters.
I was told that my song was banned.
I asked why.
He told me to visit the censorship department.
My manager and I met someone in the censorship department.
He went through some stuff and said,
"It's banned because of unstable notes."
There's no melody in a rap song.
Exactly. There's no melody.
Since I was born in 1807 in the enlightenment period
My song was banned because it has unstable notes.
- They were ignorant of rap music. - Yes.
- They had no idea. - So...
I requested for a reevaluation.
I claimed it was a new music genre, and the ban was lifted.
- That's how it was released. - Yes. I released the song.
However, four years after that,
Seo Taiji and Boys made their debut...
with their song, "I Know".
Back then, I was hosting a night-time radio show.
The first thing he said was,
"Mr. Hong, I started rapping because of your song."
- "Kim Satgat"? - Of course.
- That's how he made "I Know". - He was just being polite."
- It might've given him a few ideas. - So...
Anyway, they appeared on my radio show as a guest.
I'm telling you the true story.
Within less than a month,
- they became top stars. - They became successful.
- It happened so fast. - Right.
- You tried it first. - Yes.
- Exactly. - That's right.
- You did it three years earlier. - It's true.
Seo Taiji and Boys made their debut in 1992.
That's right. My song was released in 1989.
Hip hop music columnists confirmed the truth...
sometime later.
People had many different opinions about it.
But the columnists confirmed that I was Korea's first rapper.
- It's true that he was the 1st. - He was the 1st rapper.
It's true that he was Korea's first rapper.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for being yourselves,
not someone's husband.
"The Song That Reminds Me of My Glory Days".
Shall we hear the song that Seo Beom chose?
All right.
("Kim Satgat" is Korea's first rap song to praise Kim Satgat.)
It's "Kim Satgat" by Hong Seo Beom.
You released another song around the same time.
- "Job Ad". - Saturday afternoon
- "Job Ad". - It was released around then.
No. Gosh.
Since "Job Ad" became a big hit, people reevaluated "Kim Satgat".
- They didn't even know the song. - Right. "Job Ad" became a hit.
- "Job Ad". - I remember that.
- Shall we... - You still
That's the song.
Shall we hear Seo Beom singing "Kim Satgat"?
"Kim Satgat".
(He put on sunglasses.)
("Kim Satgat" by Hong Seo Beom)
(He starts dancing to the beat.)
That's good.
(Shouting)
(Dancing)
(He's transforming into Kim Satgat.)
(Kim Satgat, Satgat)
(Transformation completed)
(He was born in 1807 during the enlightenment period)
(There's no melody in a rap song.)
(There's only soul in it.)
(People call me...)
(the first rapper in Korea.)
(In the beginning of the era, Seo Beom sowed seeds,)
(and hip hop music started to grow in Korea.)
(He seems relaxed as the first rapper should be.)
(He pulls off high notes.)
(His knee dance is a bonus.)
(This is the dignity of the multi entertainer.)
Thank you.
That was great.
- He's amazing. - It was great.
I love this song.
As I went up on the stage while sitting down here...
- Did you feel dizzy? - No.
- When I sang the high note... - I see.
- Right. - His voice cracked.
You said you felt dizzy before. Wasn't that the case?
I'm sorry. I worried about you too much.
- You just worried about him. - Yes.
Let's hear the song that Moo Song chose.
Of course.
(It makes everyone dance.)
It's a great song.
It's "What is Life".
He was ranked top on "Gayo Top 10" for 5 weeks in a row.
- It was limited to five wins. - That's right.
I remember...
that my song beat "Hayeoga" by Seo Taiji and Boys.
- It was incredibly popular. - It was so popular.
It was as if this song was the only song in Korea.
It was played even on religious channels.
(Even religious channels played "What is Life".)
Religion is about life.
You're very insightful.
You can even teach people how to live their lives.
- "I live my life like this." - Moo Song will sing "What is Life".
("What is Life" by Lee Moo Song)
(What is love? What is pain?)
(He's been married to his princess for 24 years,)
(but still doesn't know what life is.)
(I'm always the weak when I'm with her.)
(Well, that's life.)
(I got upset and rushed out to the veranda,)
(Sad)
(But Miss Korea Sa Youn is the only one for me.)
(I will love you only.)
(His performance showed his joys and sorrows of life.)
- Thank you. - Nice.
Thank you.
I think the song...
is about the bitterness of life.
The word sounded like "Bitter" in the beginning.
- Did it sound like that? - Yes.
At first...
Isn't it "Moo Song, Moo Song"?
- Well... - "Life is bitter."
- Some people said that. - This song...
- I see. - I recorded this song in the US.
At first, I wanted to add...
"assa, assa" as a rejoinder...
- to make the song more exciting. - Assa, assa
I asked them to sing "assa, assa".
But since the American singers...
couldn't pronounce it properly and didn't understand our culture,
- They couldn't spice it up. - The female backup singers.
That's right.
- They were foreigners. - They did their best.
But it sounds weird to Koreans.
Some people said...
- it's "Moo Song, Moo Song", - I see.
and some said it's "wusuk, wusuk".
However, it actually helped...
- the success of the song. - That's right.
But no one... Did you say "bitter"?
- Yes. It means... - Bitter, bitter
- that life is bitter. - I see.
- Life can be bitter sometimes. - That's right.
Life is bitter for Moo Song, and sweet for Soo Jong, right?
Why would you say that my life is bitter?
Are you sure it's not Seo Beom?
Gosh. Come on.
I think Seo Beom's life is the sweetest.
Today's theme was "Bravo, My Wife".
Why don't you say something to your wife?
Seo Beom, you go first.
- To Pretty Singer Jo Gap Kyeong? - Yes.
Pretty Singer Jo Gap Kyeong,
I'm always grateful towards you.
Let's continue to live...
a happy, enjoyable life together.
Okay? Good.
Since they're going home soon,
they're going back to normal.
Switch on the normal mode, everyone.
Right.
- Moo Song. - Me?
Yes.
I was in the wrong.
If anything.
That's good. He's going back to normal.
Thank you for living with me.
I don't want you to become more mature.
(Full of affection)
Let's stay healthy.
Thank you.
It was a heartfelt comment.
Jae Ryoung, I bet you haven't done this for a long time.
He must feel like he's writing a written promise.
Thank you, and I love you.
- He's shy. - He's cute.
- All right. - Soo Jong.
Hee Ra, I'm always grateful.
Well... You're always on my side.
You look and walk...
in the same direction as me.
I always root for you.
Thank you. I love you.
That's so sweet.
Everyone thanked their wives.
- Of course. - It's true.
- We should be grateful. - I'm grateful too.
Radio Star will think of the viewers...
as a lovely wife.
We'll serve you for the rest of our lives.
So please don't go anywhere,
and adore Radio Star only.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
