(Their purpose of being on Radio Star is obvious.)
(But they don't know how.)
(Why don't you make everyone laugh first?)
(He is talking about his new drama.)
(But the hosts won't allow it.)
(Why would you be so harsh?)
(Is Song Chang Eui upset?)
I've never seen him before.
(Who are they?)
(He was the villain of "My Mister".)
(You were the police officer in "Hwayi"!)
(Kim Young Min, the experienced actor in the film industry)
(Who is he though?)
(He is Ahn Bo Hyun, the tall one next to Song Joong Ki)
(They promote themselves whenever they find the right timing.)
(It feels like we've all seen them from somewhere.)
(What's the result of their random promotion?)
("The Endless Promotion of 'Hide and Seek'" begins now!)
I'm on a show with Kang Susie these days.
Seeing her at work and home at the same time...
makes me so happy!
It's called "Grandma's Puppy".
It's at 9pm every Thursday.
- Please watch. - I see.
Hareem!
His album is out now, and its quality is amazing.
The producer must be really good.
It's not the chicken brand. It's the musician.
Do you know "Begin Again"?
That's too much.
You have to promote it to reach the breakeven point, right?
That's not it. It passed that point already.
Does he not sell so much in general?
He doesn't.
A lot of you are calling me to be on Radio Star.
Even famous musicians are calling me.
I'm sorry. We have limited seats.
I'll mention their names at least.
Lee Bong Won, who released his single, "Midlife Youth"
Yoo Hyun Sang called me and said he changed his title song...
- from "Reins". - Was there a song like that?
It's now "Cheering Song for Youth".
Is it doing well?
I hope so.
(He's done with his job.)
Lee Sung Min thanked me for promoting his movie lately.
If there's any actor wanting to ask for the promotion,
just let me know about it any time.
But it's only for Radio Star.
In Sung, don't you think it's time for you to be here?
(In Sung! When will you be here?)
- That was good. - It's...
We are always ready to...
talk about anyone's stories through the night. This is...
- Radio Star! - Radio Star!
Today, we invited four people...
who are here to enjoy the effect of being on Radio Star.
"The Endless Promotion of 'Hide and Seek'" begins now!
It's a drama with the same name with the movie in the past.
It's been 18 years since she debuted.
She's been on more than 20 dramas and movies.
- She worked so long. - The youngest daughter,
daughter-in-law, and a villain.
whoever she becomes, she makes the best character of that show.
Today, she is here to have her best variety show moment.
She's the queen of viewer ratings. Lee Yu Ri!
(The queen of viewer ratings is here! Lee Yu Ri!)
Yeon Min Jung is here.
Not only dramas, he's also in a lot of musicals.
He's the chief, the romanticist,
and the thoughtful man in every drama.
However, two of most impressive characters he has done are...
transgender and a gay man.
I found out you are in a headache pill commercial.
He does something like that at times.
It's been 18 years since he debuted.
He was in 23 plays, 4 dramas,
and 19 movies.
He's a really good actor, but as you know...
he's not that famous.
It's his first time being on a variety show.
So he's very mentally unfit at the moment.
His name is even really common. So it can be confusing.
He is not Kim Myung Min. He is Kim Young Min.
- Kim Young Min? - I think I've met him before.
- But I guess I haven't. - I know, right?
He's in a lot of movies.
I've never seen him before.
Do you want to know who we are talking about?
His major work is even "Descendants of the Sun".
Song Joong Ki and he were in the same team in the drama.
But he is not Jin Goo.
He's the one in the back.
- He is Ahn Bo Hyun. - Ahn Bo Hyun!
This time...
(Bumping)
- Thanks for coming. - Hello.
- It's nice to see you. - Hi.
- How are you? - Nice to meet you.
You were on Radio Star before.
- She was. - It's my first time.
- Really? - Yes.
- Oh, actually, she wasn't here. - You met me at the different show.
There's a reason why she couldn't be here before.
She was the MC of "Single Wife".
It's her first time on Radio Star!
Didn't you do more than 20 episodes?
Yes, we went on for two seasons. We beat you guys in ratings too.
You beat us only once.
That was like Yeon Min Jung.
I think she's still hoping for...
season three.
- Yu Ri. - Yes?
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm Lee Yu Ri, and I never want to lose my title, the queen of ratings.
The queen of ratings!
Chang Eui, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm a quiet man who isn't that quiet.
I'm Song Chang Eui. Nice to see you all.
Did you look after your kid yesterday?
- You look so tired. - Me?
- Yes, I stayed up all night. - I knew it.
That's funny.
- It's been a while. - I know, right?
Please say hello to our viewers, Young Min.
Hi.
I'm the beginner of all beginners for variety shows.
I'm Kim Young Min, and I'm currently mentally unfit.
- Welcome. - Hi.
He's so nervous right now.
Who is he?
- He looks like Jung Gyu Woon. - I agree.
He really does.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Oh, well...
People in my hometown is talking about how well I'm doing...
because I'm on Radio Star. I'm Ahn Bo Hyun.
Where are you from?
- I'm from Busan. - Oh, Busan!
Where in Busan?
It's Young Island.
- I know the bridge there. - Oh, I see.
You must have talked to many people about Radio Star.
Yu Ri, the former passionate fan of Radio Star,
I heard you stopped watching it lately.
Well, my program was on the same time with Radio Star.
I haven't seen you for a while, Gu Ra.
We were on "Three Wheels" together.
It was...
difficult to host the show with him.
- It wasn't easy for him then. - Right...
- When I first... - Yu Ri,
I tried so hard.
- I really did. - I guess I wasn't good enough.
- So... - You didn't do it in the right way.
Actually, Yu Ri was... Well, "Three Wheels" was...
I need to explain what happened to "Three Wheels" first.
I'm fed up with this too.
- "Three Wheels" was... - That was...
When Park Mi Sun and Lee Bong Won were...
No, when Park Mi Sun and Lee Hwi Jae left,
we were not sure if we wanted to do the show more or not.
- That's right. - Then the new producer...
cast Yeon Min Jung, Seo Jang Hoon, and Shin Dong Yeob.
So she came around.
- She wasn't a big help though. - Well,
I'm glad it wasn't finished when I was there.
- It was so hard. - But...
you actually...
made it happen before you were gone.
The program moved downward anyway.
- There's nothing we could do. - That's right.
- It was going to be done anyway. - That's true.
- There's nothing we could do. - I agree.
(They made up by blaming the program.)
Chang Eui, you are the only one who's here for the second time.
- Please do well. - When I was here last time...
We're relying on you a lot.
He looks sleepy though.
That's not it.
I couldn't sleep yesterday and the day before. It was unexpected.
It was the busy filming schedule.
- It was jammed all of a sudden. - I have this show today...
- But I will do my best. - Hasn't it been...
several years since you were here?
- It's been five years. - Five years?
You were here to promote your musical then.
And you are here to promote your drama this time.
You are a promotion expert of Radio Star.
He wouldn't come here with no reason.
- I see. - Oh, really?
Did Radio Star help then?
After Radio Star,
it was more packed in the theater.
When it comes to musicals, Radio Star really helps.
It really helped a lot.
I heard you were really conscious about everything...
at the pre-filming interview.
- Why? - That's not what it was.
When I was here last time,
there was something that really shocked me.
- I was traumatized. - Oh, I know what it was.
You said you were going to buy me soju for that, but you didn't.
Whenever you're free, I'm free.
Maybe he didn't have time for five years.
Well, Koreans are good at making words with no promises.
He doesn't even drink these days.
If it was five years ago,
it was when I was drinking because I didn't have a panic disorder then.
A lot of things happened for last five years.
That's...
But I don't suffer with it anymore.
- Let's drink soju sometime soon. - I see.
If you are in a hurry, I can mix it in your drink now.
Young Min,
you are an actor with 18 years of experience.
You were on the drama,
"Batman Virus"?
- Beethoven. - You were also on "My Mister".
- "Batman Virus"? - It's "Beethoven Virus".
They are very different.
- Batman is this. - "Beethoven Virus".
You've worked on a lot of dramas.
But I feel like I'm seeing you for the first time though.
He looks familiar, but it's actually the first time I've met him.
That's why...
I couldn't be cast in a lot of dramas.
But thanks to "My Mister", I could finally be recognized a bit.
And now I'm working with them for "Hide and Seek".
But he's been in a lot of movies.
- What movies? - They were...
"Hwayi", "Memories of the Sword",
- and "Madonna". - Is there any movie that viewers...
can recognize you from?
You were the police officer in "Hwayi".
- Yes, that was me. - Oh, I see.
I wasn't sure where I've seen him from.
That's right.
He looks like...
Baek Jun Ki, the actor from a long time ago.
- That's right. - I agree.
He runs a really famous barbeque place in Ilsan these days.
We were telling him he looks like Joo Jin Mo.
- That's actually true. - He really does.
He looks like Baek Jun Ki too.
I heard I look like the actor from Hong Kong.
- Someone said I look like Andy Lau, - You really do!
Tony Leung, and Leslie Cheung. I might be the mixture of their looks.
- They are all really handsome! - I don't know who I look like...
the most, but I guess I have the image of people from Hong Kong.
His looks contain a lot of people's looks.
That's right.
You said, "The standard for being famous is seven."
- What does that mean? - When I was in "My Mister",
when viewer ratings reach 3 to 5 percent,
people didn't know who I was when I was on the street.
But after it reached 7 percent,
they started recognizing me.
So I was thinking,
- to be recognized on the street, - The viewer rating should go...
over seven percent.
I mean, 2 or 3 percent means...
That's just...
2 or 3 percent means...
that reporters wouldn't even remember that show.
It looks like they write about those dramas these days though.
But it's still...
So we were thinking...
We are here to promote "Hide and Seek".
Maybe there could be some people who don't even know..
"Hide and Seek" will air soon.
Maybe it's because of the title.
We could be hidden.
- That could be the case. - What if that really happens?
Why is it "Hide and Seek"? Do you really hide or something?
So we are actually here...
to promote "Hide and Seek"...
being all together on Radio Star.
Is there any advice?
- What? - What are you on about?
How are we going to advise you?
- I mean, - We are...
Just make people laugh. That's what you do here.
- How though? - That's the point!
- I don't know how to do it. - Just talk to the camera.
"Goodbye to Goodbye" was...
not a long drama,
and Chae Si Ra was in it. Isn't your drama really long?
- No, it's short too. - It's short.
- It's short. - Oh...
You really need to promote it a lot before it starts then.
It's mostly longer dramas in that kind of situation.
- Is it on Saturday and Sunday? - It's...
on Saturdays only. Two episodes airs in a row.
It's a bit unique case.
It might not even get a chance to be recognized.
- It's not going to happen. - But...
The drama should do well, or nobody will know who Young Min is.
- That's true. - Goodness.
It should do really well for Young Min.
It wasn't easy for him to become what he is now.
All of today's guests said...
Young Min looks younger than his age.
- You really look young. - Thanks.
- Is he? - You are 48 years old.
- Were you born in 1970 then? - Really?
- I was born in 1971. - 1971?
- Were you born early in 1971? - No.
I wasn't.
- 48? Are you serious? - He's 1 year younger than Gu Ra.
It feels like I'm looking at father and son.
You're talking nonsense.
That caused a lot of misunderstandings too.
- 1971? - He does look young.
Ma Dong Seok is my age.
If I call his name while filming,
younger actors give me...
scary looks like I did something wrong.
They must have thought I was looking down on him.
- You look really young. - Are you married by chance?
Yes, I am.
I heard it was your complex that you look so young.
If I was looking like someone my age,
I would have been able to get a lot more works as an actor.
But a lot of people around me said...
it will help me one day.
I was even younger than Lee Sun Kyun in "My Mister".
So looking young actually brought me more chances to take good roles.
- It must be a good year for you. - That means...
you take a lot of roles in their 30s.
I do.
How old are you this time?
I'm in my early to mid-30s.
- That's amazing. - Looking young actually helps.
That is very beneficial. You know Tae Hyun gets...
a lot of roles that are younger than his actual age.
The drama I'm going to be in soon is about a married couple,
and it's actually my first time to be a married man in a show.
- But it's still about newlyweds. - Yes, it is.
- It's his advantage too. - I know, right?
I think that's good.
I'll look at the positive side.
I didn't know about it, but Bo Hyun was in "Descendants of the Sun",
which reached the viewer rating of 38 percent.
Even though the drama reached the viewer rating of 38 percent,
we don't know him. I wonder what his role was.
- What was yours? - In the same unit with Joong Ki.
There's Alpha Team of five in the drama.
I was on the very right next to Joong Ki and Jin Goo.
I was the tallest one of those five people.
Everyone who was in "Descendants of the Sun" is doing well.
Everyone is doing well.
Why do you think people don't know who you are?
People still recognize who I am in Busan.
- My friends know too. - Of course, they are your friends.
- They are your friends. - They should know.
If your friends say they didn't recognize you,
it's because they think you are not a great guy.
So this is actually your next work...
- after "Descendants of the Sun"? - No, that's not it.
I've been working in a lot of dramas after then.
- I haven't really had a break. - Like Young Min did,
why don't you tell us about what you did?
My last work was "All kinds of Daughters-in-law" on MBC.
Oh, "All Kinds of Daughters-in-law"!
I was also in "My Dearest Lady"...
with Kang Min Kyung. It was a daily drama.
Was Kang Min Kyung your girlfriend in the drama?
I was Lee Ah Hyun's boyfriend.
I was...
her executive secretary and fell in love with her.
We even got married.
Nobody knows still.
No matter how hard he explains.
- I still don't know. - It's hard to know.
When you heard from your manager that we invited you,
you actually ignored him like he's talking nonsense.
It was at a restaurant that we were having a small company dinner.
I was mixing soju and beer.
- Soju and beer, goodness. - I almost...
hit him when I heard I'm going to be on Radio Star.
I thought he was not making any sense.
Is it Radio Star or "Video Star"? I even asked him again.
You must have thought "Video Star" sounds more reasonable.
But he said it's Radio Star. So I kind of forgot about it.
When I heard it again the next day,
it doesn't feel real.
- I was like, "Why, and with who?" - "Why did they invite me?"
I didn't know what the purpose was at first.
But when I heard it was for promoting "Hide and Seek",
I was like, "That makes more sense."
I heard you prepared so much for today.
I heard you even made notes about what you'll talk about today.
I haven't worked in this industry for a long time.
But it hasn't been a nice and peaceful journey.
So somehow my interview went on for 4 to 5 hours.
- So what did you write? - There's not much here though.
- You didn't talk much. - He must have things to talk about.
- He'll do it. - There's really not much.
He might have more stories with him. It's just not on the script.
I guess it's not well adapted in this script.
It says you made notes about your stories.
You actually went a bit far.
He said he bought Viagra when they asked how he is these days.
A lot of things are like that.
- Really? - This is...
- I didn't do that. - What is this then?
That's because...
- That's... - He does go too far at times.
Before filming "Hide And Seek",
I went to Eastern Tibet to film. It was really high in the mountains.
Its altitude is at 4,500m.
I was worried about getting altitude sickness.
My manager and I were both really worried.
- It helps blood circulation. - That's what I heard too.
I heard we can get prescription for Viagra.
So we took some pills and started climbing the mountain.
At first, I was thinking, "Will we need it?"
But I passed out as soon as I landed at the airport.
- Did you take it from then? - Yes, Chinese people were...
sitting in the corridor between the airplane.
I was like, "It's not that bad", and passed out after finding my bag.
- Really? - Well, it's 4,500m.
It's the highest airport in the world.
Airplanes don't even need to go up that high from there then.
- What are you talking about? - It's 4,500m.
Why don't you say it's better to let it land on the top of the mountain?
- They just need to hold the brakes. - I don't know.
So it actually cures your altitude sickness.
- Does it really work? - What if you get other symptoms?
- It must be uncomfortable. - It didn't happen to me at all.
So it doesn't work that way.
But it got rid of my headache.
- Really? - It cured your headache!
Because of my blood circulation, they didn't even allow me to shower.
After the three-hour journey in the taxi, I had to use an oxygen mask.
Even the hotel had those masks.
- Really? - It was about 800 minutes long.
I used it for sleeping.
But he looks so healthy.
People living there are used to it, right?
Not even a dog is running around in that area.
Not only dogs but also horses are not running either.
Do they not run at all?
- Yes, they move slowly. - I've been to...
Mexico City before.
Isn't it also a high altitude place?
Yes, it is. As I know it's higher than 600m.
- 600m? - Yes.
600m. Right, I'm sorry.
That is the only high region I've been to.
- That's right. - Even in Mexico City,
Everyone had a hard time during the World Cup in Mexico.
Anyway, Mexico City's temperature is really cool though.
Many people will use this as an excuse to buy those pills.
They will buy a lot today.
I guess so.
It's also for low altitude places.
(You can use it for both higher and lower areas.)
Chang Eui and Young Min went to university together.
Yes, I got in when I finished my military service.
- Oh, after the military service. - So we were there at the same time.
Aren't there many people like you in 1997 though, Young Min?
- That's true. Kim Hee Won, - Bae Seong Woo...
- Hee Won did the same. - Isn't Park Hyuk Kwon one of them?
- Yes, he is. - That's right.
There are a lot of people doing well from that year, by the way.
- In your class... - Lee Chun Hee was in my class.
- Chun Hee. - Park Gun Hyung was in it too.
They both said nice things. He said Young Min was serious.
Young Min said Chang Eui was quiet and cool.
- He's serious? - They complimented each other.
Since then, he was quiet, but charismatic.
He would exude this aura...
and go drinking.
Among the 1997 graduates from Seoul Institute of the Arts,
a lot of graduates are entertaining and great conversationalists.
Only serious, quiet, and cool graduates are joining us today.
They are our guests today.
- It means they weren't close. - We have a problem.
- I don't think they were close. - I think...
Who was your college best friend?
- Hee Won. - We mentioned them earlier.
- Kim Hee Won. - Bae Seong Woo.
Who was your best friend, Chang Eui?
- Chun Hee. - They were Chun Hee and Gun Hyung.
- They are still active on TV. - Right.
- It's little iffy with him too. - Their alumni are noteworthy.
You said that some of them got so popular...
that they don't thoroughly read their scripts.
- Yes, there are. - I want to guess them.
- This just means that... - I want to guess who they are.
those actors have a lot of projects going on.
- He looked terrible in school. - Seong Woo?
- He looked terrible. - Seong Woo?
- That's right. It's Seong Woo. - Seong Woo.
- I see. - My gosh, Bae Seong Woo.
He's gotten really successful these days.
We ought to invite him onto our show.
- He was already on our show. - He was on our show before.
- I wasn't here. - It was fun.
I guess you're close with Seong Woo.
- We were on Daehangno together. - Okay.
We hung out together when we were on Daehangno.
- You're comfortable with him. - He doesn't read his scripts?
- He skims through it. - I heard it through the grapevine.
He has a lot of offers now.
When you say he doesn't read thoroughly,
does it push it away with his feet?
"This one is done." Like this?
He would lean on something and read the script.
(His dignity exudes from a prolific actor's freedom.)
- When Chun Hee was mentioned, - You often see him, right?
you were annoyed.
Chun Hee tends to lower his age.
- He lowers it as he gets older? - Yes, yes.
- He's friends with Hyo Lee too. - We were...
born in the beginning of 1979.
- That's how it happened? - We were born around that time.
Since people who were born later in that year are the same age,
he'd be friends with them...
which makes him become friends with people born in 1980.
This would keep going.
- That puts you in a tight spot. - Yes.
- He doesn't care about that. - He keeps lowering it?
- He keeps lowering the age. - You must be in a pickle.
One time, we have a gathering.
It was with Chun Hee, actors who were born in 1979,
and other people in the TV industry.
It was flustering.
You address them differently depending on the age.
Right. We address them differently.
To be honest, I don't let younger people address me casually.
I like to keep things formally.
You won't address people who were born in 1979 casually.
- No, I won't because... - I see.
it would be messy for my acquaintances.
(Feeling embarrassed)
- I don't think he gets to say that. - That's true.
Hyo Lee was born in 1979.
- Right, she was. - She treats Chun Hee casually.
- One time, - I was on "Family Outing" with her.
I starred on "Family Outing with them.
She tried to treat me casually, but she couldn't in the end.
- You were stubbornly against it. - You declined it.
(It turns out that all of them were born in 1979.)
(Should I address you casually, Chang Eui?)
(Do you want to go dig balloon flowers?)
(He completely blocks it.)
Actually, I wanted to be on a first-name basis with her.
- But you couldn't break your rule. - I couldn't break my rule.
I have a question for you.
Are you the chairman for the association for people born in 1979?
You have a strong sense of duty.
(He protects the people from 1979 with his strong sense of duty.)
When we address each other casually,
it'd make things awkward for their friends too.
The circle of your friends will be smaller.
After he cuts out all those people, he will be alone.
(He's fighting a lonely battle.)
Bo Hyun, you're eight years younger than Yu Ri.
But the first thing Yu Ri said to him was,
"Drop the honorific."
(She's open-minded.)
- She is... - So do you address her casually?
I could've called her by her first name.
But I asked her which one she'd prefer.
Since my role is older than hers...
- My role is older than her role. - Is that so?
- You're her older brother? - I'm older than her in the drama.
She told me that I should address her casually...
so that she could act into her role more easily.
- To get into her role. - When I added the honorifics,
she told me to drop the honorifics.
I wondered if I should do that when I met her for the first time.
But you're still a bit uncomfortable, right?
- You can't suddenly drop them. - Right.
It's against my disposition to see other people feel uneasy around me.
- I worked with many older actors. - That's right.
Since I started my acting career while feeling scared of them,
I can't let that happen.
- I tell them to be casual with me. - You tell them to your juniors.
But they have a hard time to treat me casually.
Perhaps, it could be that I was an athlete in middle and high school.
I'm used to the hierarchy with the senior athletes.
- Which sport did you play? - I was a boxer.
You were a boxer. Duke it out with Gook Jin later.
Were you in the welterweight division?
Yes, I was.
I was also in light middleweight and middleweight divisions.
- You were in middleweight too. - Doesn't that suit you the best?
It was the easiest.
I didn't have to lose weight for that division.
When boxers stay like this,
and someone drops a ball from above,
they can hit the ball.
Right?
Yes, yes.
What are you talking about?
- No, I'm serious. - There's no way.
- I saw the boxers practice. - I've never done that.
- We can catch the leaves. - Do you not catch birds?
Wait, you'd catch leaves?
- When cherry blossoms are in bloom, - My gosh.
there was a time I tried to see how many I could catch.
I saw the exercise with the ball on YouTube.
- I see. It's on YouTube. - There's a training exercise.
- Some people are good at that. - I see.
You were a boxer. We'll check it out later.
(We'll check his boxing skills later.)
Did you two have fried chicken and beer at Han River?
(A shy smile)
Yes, we did.
- But... - Before you two got married?
- Yes. - Yes. It wasn't just the two of us.
- When Chang Eui talked about it, - At that time...
he explained that they didn't have a fling which we didn't even ask.
- It wasn't like that. - It wasn't at all.
- We were just... - Chang Eui is traumatized about it.
Putting on a straight face might be a bigger problem.
- That could be a bigger problem. - Listen.
- We weren't flirting. - Okay.
- At Han River, - We didn't even ask you that.
we just had fried chicken with beer.
- That's it. - With just the two of you?
- Lee Sang Yun was there too. - It wasn't just us.
Sang Yun was there.
- Sang Yun was there and... - Hong Soo Hyun.
- Hong Soo Hyun was there too. - Soo Hyun was with us too.
- You were with your colleagues. - Yes.
We were at Han River. It was fun.
We spread our mats at Han River.
We hung out there.
We didn't have a fling.
- We didn't ask you that. - We didn't ask.
(The same conversation is repeated.)
- You must have had fun that day. - It was really fun.
- We felt like young college kids. - When...
- That's how we felt. - When was that?
Was that about five years ago?
It's way before that.
- Was it eight years ago? - It was before I got married.
- It must've been 8 years then. - It was about 8 to 9 years ago.
Oh, right. How long has it been since you've been married?
It's been eight years.
- I see. - You've been married for long.
That's why she says it was eight years ago.
You've been married for five years, right?
- That's not right. - It's been two years.
- That's not right. - For her, it was eight years ago.
(Laughing)
- To him, it was five years ago. - That's not it.
- You could think that way. - Right.
- Then Yu Ri is correct. - Okay.
That was eight years ago, Chang Eui.
You know...
we talked about our projects that day.
You keep saying that to emphasize it wasn't a fling.
- He didn't have to mention that. - We know it wasn't a fling.
We mentioned that they talked about their projects there.
"We talked about our projects."
Chang Eui, is there anything you'd like to say?
You... You should talk.
- Talk about what? - He's stuttering.
This is what Yu Ri mentioned during the preliminary interview.
- I see. - Nothing much happened.
- I just had a lot of fun then. - You didn't want to bring it up.
Everyone came over to my house.
- We were... - Well, you know...
- we had fun. - What was that called?
- That could happen. - Every colleague went over?
Yes, everyone came over.
- Going over to a male celebrity... - So everyone...
including Sang Yoon came over to my house. Everyone did.
Continue what you were going to say.
- I rarely go over to one. - I'm trying to say that...
you shouldn't mention that.
You should've ended it at Han River.
- Chang Eui... - Tell you what.
- Chang Eui... - Wait. Hold on.
- Did you not notice this about him? - Why did she say that?
Chang Eui is trying to talk over Yu Ri.
- After Han River? - Go on.
Even actors don't usually...
go over to other people's houses and hang out there.
There were 2 women and 2 guys.
We weren't on a date or anything.
- You're making it weirder. - No, no.
- No, but it was nothing. - Why did you say it like that?
(She makes it more scandalous.)
- Just say that you had fun. - That was memorable for me.
You could've finished it with that.
- They added fuel to this fire. - Listen.
- That experience was fascinating. - Chang Eui has a trauma about that.
- Chang Eui, let me ask you this. - This is crazy.
Chang Eui, if your wife watches this, will she be mad?
- She knows about this. - She does? Okay.
- Did you tell her in advance? - Yu Ri...
- No, it's not that. - She told her in advance.
- "Honey, I had fried chicken..." - No, Gu Ra.
- "and beer at Han River." - I told her...
- "It wasn't a fling." - Before we started the drama,
I told her Yu Ri was in the drama.
I told my wife that she and I were close and she came over once.
- I see. - I told her this.
- I told her since nothing happened. - But...
- She didn't know Yu Ri came over. - In Yu Ri's point of view,
if she talks about this on the show,
- We'd get the wrong idea. - people might get the wrong idea.
- People might get the wrong idea. - She might be scared.
- This is how he's talking to her. - Come on.
- "Nothing happened between us." - People might get the wrong idea.
"We only had fried chicken and beer."
"We only talked about our script. What's going on?"
- Here's the thing about actors. - This is hilarious.
- A long time ago... - Why am I turning red?
I can't believe this is happening.
- Why are you getting so red? - I don't know.
But the thing is...
(Cracking up)
- Come on. Spit it out. - It really wasn't...
- Do something about this now. - I really had never...
- hung out with my colleagues... - "Do something about it."
like that before. I don't have memories like that.
- Right, that's true. - I've never done that.
- The experience was fascinating. - Besides, it was eight years ago.
- Right, right. - Okay. I got it.
(Of course, we know that.)
- It's fun to tease Chang Eui. - I see.
He wants us to wrap this up nicely,
- but no one is doing that. - He probably does.
But we're welcoming this mix-up.
We should give Chang Eui a nickname of 2-on-2 Date.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with guests who are oozing with charms even if they've been hiding.
We'll begin today's special,
"The Endless Promotion of 'Hide and Seek'".
You will be starring in an upcoming weekend drama, "Hide and Seek".
Please introduce your drama...
and your roles.
This is important.
- Bo Hyun, tell us about your role. - Yes, indeed.
There are many villains in "Hide and Seek".
I'm the only nice, supportive guy in the drama.
- That's a good role. - I'm a lawyer named Baek Do Hoon.
Are you playing the least villainous role?
I'm the one chasing the villains.
- I see. - If I didn't play hide and seek,
- this wouldn't have happened. - What about yours, Young Min?
- I'm a second generation rich guy. - A rich guy.
My character abuses his power in every way possible...
and chases women.
- I bet he patronizes others. - Yes.
I think he might meet an innocent lady and change.
Is Yu Ri the innocent lady?
- It's Eom Hyun Kyung. - I see.
Yu Ri won't play innocent characters. Right.
You're usually the strong female lead.
If you play a second generation rich man...
should I say it's liberating? You can do everything you want.
- You've never played one, right? - I've never played that role.
Tae Hyun would never get the chance to play such roles.
- I'm jealous to just hear about it. - A rich guy.
- And... - What about yours, Chang Eui?
I play the secretary of that rich guy.
I'm the driver too.
My character is his driver,
but my character had a trauma when he was young.
He can't seem to find his way around his life.
- It sounds like... - I think he might dig up...
- what's underneath this group. - I see.
- What about yours, Yu Ri? - My role...
works very hard.
She does her best in everything she does.
- She's a hard worker. - Yes, she's exactly that.
Yes, she works hard.
While I was filming this drama, people had to hit me a lot.
There were a lot of scenes. So far,
the senior actors and actresses hit me a lot already.
- Nowadays, they really hit you. - Yes.
- I had to engage in a scuffle... - Exactly.
- with Chang Eui yesterday. - You had a scuffle.
- I got bruises. - Really?
- You're right. I see bruises. - My gosh.
- He just grabbed me. He's strong. - Right. You easily get bruises.
That's right. During the rehearsal, you'd try to not hurt each other.
- But when you film, it's not easy. - Why did you do that to her?
Some people are meaner on this hard worker.
Both of our characters...
are somewhat of hypocrites.
When our disposition as the bottom of the food chain shows,
- You'd recognize each other. - we recognize each other.
- That's right. - "She's a hypocrite."
We had a scuffle in a scene where we uncovered about each other.
- There was a scene about that. - I see. Anyway,
we heard so much about a drama we haven't even watched yet.
- Are you tired? - I wonder...
- if we should listen to this. - But... I see.
- It's going to air on weekends. - Listen.
- I wonder if we should hear this. - But for me,
- I don't know what it's about. - Wait.
- I feel like... - Pretend you saw it. It'd be nice.
- I already watched three episodes. - Exactly.
Right? It feels like you watched them.
- Okay. - Our scriptwriter...
won a lot of awards too.
She won a lot of awards.
You've given us a lot of unnecessary information.
(This PR Fairy is fulfilling his duty.)
So you've been beaten up a lot in the drama.
Tell us who beat you up. Chang Eui beat you up.
- Jung Hye Sun hit me five times. - She did? Where?
She just slapped me.
- Jo Mi Ryung slapped me too. - She's strong.
She has broad shoulders and big hands.
- But she's not that strong. - She really slapped me.
- She slapped you too. - Yes.
And Young Min hit me with a plate.
- He hit you with a plate. - And Chang Eui...
flung me away.
Actually, that feels more at ease than hitting someone.
- I see your point. - Yes, I could see that.
After Hye Sun slapped, she cried in front of me.
When she had to slap me,
I told her to slap me hard,
but she cried in front of me.
- Getting slapped is easier. - But...
if they slap your cheek, it'd be fine.
Aren't you worried that they might...
- damage your eardrums? - When people I like must slap me,
I'm happy to do the scene. I tell them to slap me hard.
When actresses whom I'm not on great terms with...
- slap me, it doesn't feel good. - Like actresses...
- you don't like? - Wait.
- You can tell by their eyes. - Right, right.
Let's say that Gu Ra has to slap me.
To be honest, I'm a bit...
- offended. - I understand your point.
- It won't happen on variety shows. - You try to be careful then.
- Some people get carried away. - In reality...
- So I tried to be friendlier. - But...
I was doing a scene with Young Min.
He threw a plate in that scene.
That scene was...
We know so much about a drama we haven't even watched.
- It was in the beginning part. - Why should we know about that?
- So what happens? What happens? - But aren't you curious?
After talking about it this much, when we watch that scene,
we'd know. "There's a plate. He'll throw that."
(It's an unexpected spoiler.)
All of us had a hard time with our first scenes.
- Wasn't your first filming hard? - My very first scene...
in the drama...
- was a love scene. - Really?
It was in the car.
- That will air on TV? - I couldn't get used to it.
- It wasn't that provocative. - Right.
Why... Why...
- You can't ask why. - He really wants to watch it.
The drama sounds fun.
(He's suddenly showing interest.)
That kind of a shocking scene will be your first scene?
- Yes. - I must watch this drama.
- This is it. - Young Min.
Give us some details.
(Nagging)
I went to the shoot to film my first scene.
- It was a scene with my mistress. - It was...
It was flustering.
- You met everyone for the 1st time. - I met them for the 1st time.
You said hello and started filming the scene.
- I was saying hello to people. - That was your first scene?
This drama has to be successful.
I feel like I've seen the whole drama.
(It already feels like we watched the whole drama.)
Young Min.
You made a promise about the TV ratings.
Your promise is quite trendy.
It has to do with simple pleasures.
What's your promise?
- It has to go over 20 percent. - I see. 20 percent.
- What happens then? - If it's over 20 percent,
I'll treat everyone on Radio Star...
which is my first variety show to fried chicken and beer.
- Fried chicken and beer? - Then we must go to Han River.
- Then Chang Eui has to come. - Exactly.
I wasn't going to say that, but he brought up fried chicken and beer.
We should tell Sang Yun who was there to join us.
- Of course, we will. - We should invite him.
- Soo Hyun should come too. - You're addicted to Han River.
Since you've been on many dramas, you must have some ideas.
Do you think it will be successful?
Yes, when I started filming this drama,
I found many merits of this drama.
This drama has a different format.
It applies to our roles as well,
but our script itself has a different format too. It's simple.
Are you talking about your drama again?
I asked you about the TV ratings.
- TV ratings? Let me see. - Yes, the TV ratings.
I think the TV ratings will be over 15 percent.
You're an experienced actor indeed.
- These days, - He's realistic.
- 15 percent is considered good. - That's hard.
Of course.
- What's your promise? - My promise?
- For our drama's staff, I will... - Will you buy something for them?
buy fried chicken and beer at Han River.
(Whatever. I don't know anymore.)
Due to their incredible passion for their acting careers,
these four guests went through a lot of hardships.
Even before you played Yeon Min Jung,
- you played a lot of evil roles. - Yes, she did.
- Yes, I did. - Thanks to your roles,
a lot of rumors circulated.
- Rumors... - Like you're mean in real life too.
- That's right. - "Loving You". "Twinkle Twinkle".
This drama, "Yellow Boots".
- It's the cruelest soap opera. - Right.
Since I always played really mean characters,
I wondered if I looked...
I'd been wronged or I'd be that scary.
But I'm not like that, right?
(But I'm not like that, right?)
No, she's not like that. She's very cheerful.
Right?
You told me that I was fun earlier.
Yes, she is.
Unlike her evil characters,
she was very different from her roles. That surprised me.
- And she's very nice. - Right.
She's off-the-wall sometimes...
from what I heard regarding her previous works.
I used to think that she had deep thoughts before.
(Laughing)
The more I find about her,
the more I think that she doesn't have that many thoughts.
We might think Chang Eui might've had it easy,
but he was beaten up a lot in his dramas.
- A colleague spat on your face. - Really?
It was in my previous drama.
In one scene, she had to spit on my face.
That must be harder than getting beaten up.
I had to get spat on.
- Exactly. That's what I meant. - I was about to be spat on.
Kang Se Jung had to spit on me.
- She was getting ready. - She had to spit on you.
She could've just spat on me,
but he was gathering her saliva.
- She was making it big. - She wanted to finish it in one go.
When I was walking towards her, I could see her gathering her spit.
- While she said her lines? - I thought, "She'll spit that?"
- It was like spit extract. - Yes, it was.
- She kept on gathering it. - I had to do my scene.
When I did the scene, it was huge.
When she spat on my face,
I struggled, but I somehow managed to get past it.
- As long as it was good, it's fine. - Yes, that's what matters.
(Spitting)
(I'm fine as long as the scene was good.)
Be objective about this.
Whenever you filmed with Lee Hwi Hyang, you braced yourself.
There are times when she would...
do certain acts which aren't in the scripts.
When she gets angry? Like her eyes? Give us an example.
Let's say that there's wine.
Although it's not in the script, she'd pour the wine.
- Out of the blue? - Yes.
- To show she's angry? - Right.
- Really? - Yes.
- Then you must go with it. - Right.
She likes it when other actors and actresses have to endure it.
- She likes pranks. I see. - But the thing is...
- They'd look flustered. - Our acting will look natural then.
For example, say that she's furious.
When she just has to gently smack the head,
but she'd throw the soup in front of her.
- You get the seaweed all over you. - Really?
Yes, that's why...
whenever I have scenes with her,
I always go there feeling really nervous.
After filming the scenes,
- It's better that way. - my reactions look more natural.
That's why she poured the wine.
- It wasn't scripted, but she did. - It wasn't in the script.
- Right. - When she does that...
- Everyone's acting looks smooth. - Right.
- It makes everyone look natural. - She's amazing.
Here's an example.
Like the kimchi slap.
- It was planned. - Yes, it was.
If she did it,
she would rub the inside too.
(She'd rub the inside of kimchi.)
Just like this. She'd do something like this.
She'd go a step further.
She's amazing.
- She's not trying to be mean. - Of course not.
- Instead of a typical villainess, - She did it on purpose.
she tries to add more layers.
Her junior actors can't go,
"What's wrong with you?"
- After that scene, Se Jung... - "What are you doing?"
must have gathered her spit.
(She must've gathered her spit then.)
How about drinking the wine like this?
(How about drinking the wine like this?)
(They're flustered.)
No one ever ate the seaweed soup?
It'd flow down.
"Happy birthday to you"
Yu Ri was choked when she was filming.
- You got a neck cramp. - You were tortured a lot.
I always get choked in every drama.
Even guys choked me a lot.
- There were a lot of scenes. - When they're furious, they do it.
Just like he said earlier,
if I expect to be slapped, it doesn't work.
Let's say that I have to get slapped.
Without realizing myself, I'd flinch like this.
- I'd flinch first. - You'd flinch.
I end up acting before the slap.
When it's unscripted, the scenes look more believable.
That's why I'd prefer to get slapped properly.
Let's say that this scriptwriter gets bold,
decides not to write directions for gestures,
and instructs you to improvise when you're mad in scenes.
- If the writer asks that... Right. - It'd be just, "Be angry."
"Here are the props."
(The props are ready.)
Chang Eui, your finger was cut off when you filmed a music video.
- What? - Really?
The accident occurred in 2006.
- Really? - Yes.
- Really? - How did it happen?
It was the music video...
- for "Drinking" by Vibe. - "Drinking".
I starred it in with Lee Yo Won.
In handcuffs, I got beaten up.
There was a set, so I held onto the wall...
and supported my weight...
when it happened.
My fourth finger...
- had to be reattached. - I can see it.
Was it completely cut off?
- Yes, it was. - It fell off.
- Yes. - My manager...
at that time...
bagged it carefully...
- and took me to the hospital. - That's how it works.
Then I got treated at the hospital.
Human body is fascinating.
When you reattach the finger that was completely cut off,
the veins find their places on their own.
The finger got reattached well.
That's right.
Are there no aftereffects?
- Does everything work well? - I have ignorance of safety.
Yesterday, Yu Ri and I filmed a scene...
where we get physical...
on the table. I spotted glass props.
I became nervous for Yu Ri's sake and asked the staff to cover them...
because accident can occur when you least expect it.
- I asked the staff. - That's no ignorance of safety.
I asked about the aftereffect.
- Ignorance of safety... - What are you talking about?
would make you get physical despite the glass props.
- I thought... - It's the opposite.
he would say,
"I disregard my safety now and go all out."
His story took a strange turn.
It came out wrong.
- You became timid. - That's right.
It came out wrong.
Young Min, you specialize in tormenting actresses...
in dramas.
Which actresses have you tormented?
In "My Mister", I tormented IU and Lee Ji Ah.
I also tormented Lee Yu Ri and Soo Ae.
You often play a character who is handsome, but mean.
- A loser. - That's right.
Although you specialize in hitting actresses,
you became careful...
when you worked with IU.
When I received the script,
I saw that I had to slap IU.
I was already receiving criticism due to the characters I play.
Then I had to slap IU.
I became nervous because I didn't want to hurt her.
If you slap her too gently, the scene doesn't look real.
They adjusted the angle of the camera...
and I put my heart...
- into making it close. - You swung your arm.
That's right.
Thankfully, IU made it believable.
- You didn't slap her. - No.
When the scene involves a man hitting a woman,
you can't do it for real...
because bruises form very easily.
I bet you haven't played that kind of a role.
I am always on the receiving end.
I specialize in getting beaten up.
(He is a good actor who can take punches.)
Are you a fan of IU?
- Yes, I am. - Your memorable scene...
in "My Mister"...
involved riding an elevator with IU.
Yes. There was an elevator on the set.
- Space is limited. - Yes.
The staff had to change something with the set,
so IU and I had to wait in the elevator.
Then I heard singing.
I guess IU was bored because she began to hum.
When I thought about it,
I couldn't believe that I was hearing IU sing live...
in this small space.
I didn't even look at the script.
I closed my eyes and savored IU's singing.
Who else in the world would have...
- this kind of an experience? - You were alone with her.
I was alone with her and I got to hear her sing live.
I am still thankful to IU for that experience.
I think IU sang...
because it was awkward for her to be alone with you.
Seriously.
She didn't want you to talk to her,
so she hummed.
(He shatters a fan's good memory.)
Bo Hyun used to be a boxer.
In your memo of the stories,
you wrote,
"When they mention Kim Jong Kook in connection to boxing,"
"answer in a humble, but confident way."
That's what you wrote.
He must have thought that we will mention Kim Jong Kook.
"What will happen if you fight against Kim Jong Kook?"
In a variety show,
Kim Jong Kook went to a gym...
and boxed.
How good is he?
He is good...
and very strong.
However, I could tell that...
he hadn't learned it professionally.
If he has a boxing match against you,
in which round will he get knocked out?
- He wouldn't get knocked out. - They are in different divisions.
Until when did you box?
I boxed from seventh grade...
- to 12th grade. - Then he would win.
- Jong Kook would be no match. - Were you in competitions?
Jong Kook would get beaten up.
- Please have a boxing match... - No, no.
- on a variety show. - That won't do.
- You represented the district. - I represented Busan.
That won't do.
How did you place on the competition?
On a national competition, I won a gold medal.
That won't do. Jong Kook would get beaten up.
He is no match to Bo Hyun.
Jong Kook hates this kind of talk.
- It will be an unfair match. - Please have a match someday.
Jong Kook would get beaten up.
Let me see him get beaten up!
Have you seen Jang Hyuk box?
He goes to the gym my friend operates.
- I have seen him there. - I am curious...
because the two of them talk about this topic.
- Kim Jong Kook and Jang Hyuk do? - They talk about...
who will win if they have a boxing match.
- However... - They never have a match.
- No, they don't. - They could do it in safety gear.
They only make their mouths run off.
The gym doesn't allow a match...
between two men...
because the loser gets a bruised ego.
In your opinion, how good is Hyuk?
He is in a different weight class, but I know he has boxed for years.
He is incredible.
I saw a video of him...
training with his coach. He is good.
- How about Lee Kye In? - A boxing match could be different.
- Lee Kye In? - Yes.
He laughed.
He laughed when he heard Lee Kye In's name.
How good is Lee Kye In?
He has short arms.
You don't make the sound with your mouth,
but Lee Kye In does that.
(He makes the sound with his mouth.)
You said earlier that you can dodge a punch...
no matter where it comes from.
Since I have a big build,
I cut off the punch instead of dodging it.
What was that?
Young Min punched his face!
What was that?
He has big hands.
He would be able to defend himself with those hands.
Look at that.
- He has big hands. - Please clench your fists.
- Clench your fists. - If you get punched...
My goodness.
Your hands aren't rough.
They look soft.
Let's see Bo Hyun's specialty.
We should take a look at Bo Hyun's specialty.
He will dodge Gook Jin's punches.
Go ahead.
We should see a boxer jump ropes.
Whose are these?
- Mine. - Really?
You can tell how good a boxer is by the way he jumps ropes.
Do you want red gloves since you are wearing a blue shirt?
Thank you.
These would be better.
(Laughing)
These would be better. Put these on.
You will get punched at that rate.
Show us your steps.
- This is the stance. - My goodness.
You keep your opponent at your arm's length.
- I see. - You punch like this.
(Intimidating)
- You punch like this. - Are you good at a hook?
Lee Kye In always does this. It doesn't work in a real fight,
- does it? - There are some short boxers...
who do this.
However, I prefer using my arms and legs.
He is the out-boxer.
When boxers attack you like that, you make them sit down, right?
I keep them at my arm's length and hit them like this.
Please show us the steps of the out-boxer.
As an out-boxer, I taunt my opponent.
When he comes in, I throw a counterpunch.
I send him backwards.
What would you do if Jong Kook comes in like that?
- Your opponent is Kim Jong Kook. - I would punch him...
and make him turn around.
- That's what you would do. - Jong Kook is down.
I bet they will add Jong Kook...
- with computer graphics. - Of course they will.
- Let's go. - Gook Jin will go now.
- Gook Jin boxes. - No.
- I don't box. - He shatters people's teeth.
My nickname is 1 Punch, 3 Teeth.
- 2 Punches, 4 Ribs. - He shatters...
- people's teeth. - That's right.
His wrists are so small...
- that the gloves are loose. - That's right.
They are very loose.
(Smiling)
(That is of no importance.)
Gook Jin, you look like you are wearing mittens.
I will punch like this.
His wrists are so small...
- that the gloves are loose. - That's right.
They are very loose.
Gook Jin, you look like you are wearing mittens.
I will punch like this.
Take off your glasses.
- No, no. - Bo Hyun won't punch him.
If I take off my glasses, he will punch me.
(Laughing)
All right.
- Okay. Don't punch me. - I won't do that.
- You need to attack. - Okay.
(He makes a sudden attack.)
Why are your arms so long?
(I can't believe he blocked it.)
Come on.
Gook Jin.
Come on.
- You said you won't attack! - Gook Jin froze.
He is really fast.
Come on in.
- You should be doing that. - Come on in.
Come on in. Come on!
Come on in.
Come on.
(They are close.)
(My goodness.)
- Gook Jin, you should attack. - That's right.
Give it a try.
Boxers predict the punch by looking at the shoulders.
- It seems that way. - Aim for the face.
Give it a try. He can't even throw a punch.
- Hold on. - He is done.
He can't even throw a punch.
My goodness.
Bo Hyun punched him on the head!
My goodness.
(Dropping)
Please put this in my pocket.
Go ahead.
(This is my chance.)
Gook Jin is like Kye In.
He does anything he can do to land a punch.
I could see that...
Bo Hyun doesn't show an opening.
- It's impossible to punch him. - That's right.
I can't do anything when he stretches out his arms.
I couldn't throw a punch.
There was no opening.
Gook Jin.
Can you dodge this?
- Can you? - Give it a try.
I wouldn't dodge it. I would cut it short.
My goodness.
I would cut it short with my arm...
like this.
Can you push the opponent's shoulders?
- Chang Eui boxed. - Really?
To prepare for "Rocky the Musical",
I practiced throwing punches.
Go ahead, Chang Eui.
(Another contender comes forward.)
I don't think I will be able to land a punch.
Try to land a punch on his face.
He is competitive.
I don't think I will be able to land a punch,
but I will challenge the out-boxer.
He wants to win.
Chang Eui.
- He learned how to box. - Chang Eui is good.
He uses a fake move.
(He is determined to win.)
He is good.
- The sound... - I can't beat an out-boxer.
My goodness.
(Please let me be alone for a second.)
You know...
That must be upsetting.
He gave a tweak to the punch.
Since his jab moved like this,
I couldn't defend myself.
Bo Hyun is good.
(Forget this.)
You become really upset...
- when you get your face punched. - That's right.
He must be the best boxer among celebrities.
- He won a gold medal. - That's right.
No one else has gone on a national level.
Bo Hyun, does your picture...
at the Unification Observatory have to do with boxing?
No. I was surprised too.
It happened about 4 or 5 years ago.
I had no chance to go to the Unification Observatory,
so I took a drive there.
With whom?
(My goodness.)
All right. All right.
- I am sorry for asking. - I went there.
It's a popular date routine...
to eat eel at Paju afterwards.
It's a popular date routine.
Your question was like Bo Hyun's punch.
(It was a nice question.)
I saw pictures at the Unification Observatory.
There was a picture of me holding a flag and a casket.
I had carried the late Roh Moo Hyun's casket.
You were in the army back then.
I was an honor guard in the army.
- An honor guard in the army. - Are you good at spinning a gun?
Yes, I am. I was at the headquarters.
The army headquarters.
(Let's see your skills.)
Honor guards do this.
- They do this. - You must know how to do it.
The thing is,
I did a routine with the flag.
I learned how to spin the flag.
- That's right. - It's nothing impressive.
I spin the flag and do this.
Other people are better at it.
- Do this. - Okay.
(He shows off his charms excessively.)
You do this.
- He was in the army headquarters. - Soon,
he will get a call from "Running Man".
He will get a rise out of Kim Jong Kook.
(Ahn Bo Hyun)
Young Min, what do you mean you were humiliated...
- at a movie company? - A movie company.
Not too long after "Beethoven Virus" ended,
I received a call.
"Are you Kim Young Min?"
"Yes, I am."
"We will be shooting a big movie."
"We want to cast you as the male lead."
I wondered if this was the effect of "Beethoven Virus"...
and ran over...
to the movie company in Chungmuro.
As soon as they saw my face, they became flustered.
They told me that they have to go upstairs for a second.
(No way.)
"We are sorry. We thought you were Kim Myung Min."
(I thought I was too lucky.)
They made a mistake.
Because of the shock,
I don't even remember the title of the movie.
Have you thought about changing your name?
Yes, I have.
My mom was worried that my life wasn't going well...
despite having been in the theater ever since high school.
She even went to a naming center and got me a new name.
However,
although they are only a handful of people...
who make up less than one percent of the audience,
there are fans who love me and remember my name.
They come to the show to see me.
I couldn't change my name because of them.
Then they wouldn't know where you went.
"Where is Young Min?"
I have a friend named Kim Young Min.
Young Min is a very common name.
Both my surname and given name are common.
What was the name your mom received?
I guess you didn't like it that much.
- It was Kim Young Jun. - Young Jun.
- Yes. - Young Jun is equally common.
Everyone knows a person named Young Jun.
Your family must be conservative.
- Seriously. - How about Young Rong?
Young Rong?
(It's the name of the producer of Radio Star.)
- Young Rong. - How about Young Rong?
Young Rong? It sounds like a brilliant name.
("Young Rong" means "Brilliant" in Korean.)
(They team up to tease the producer.)
Bo Hyun, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki's wedding...
didn't surprise you.
The ones who were in the drama with them say that.
It's not that I knew about their relationship.
However, throughout the shoot,
I had a crush on Hye Kyo for six months.
Every staff member and actor fell...
for her charms.
I am jealous of Joong Ki.
You fell for Song Hye Kyo at the get-together.
I wasn't the only one. All men's eyes...
became heart-shaped.
Since she is a popular actress,
I thought...
- she would wear makeup. - She is easy-going.
She showed up...
with her face bare and her hair pulled into a bun.
She wore an oversized dress.
In "Full House",
she showed her cute side.
I felt like the character had come to life.
I thought to myself,
"Would it be okay? The customers at the restaurant..."
"will want her picture."
"Is it okay to be so easy-going?" I was very surprised.
Regarding your fellow actors on "Descendants of the Sun",
Joong Ki and Jin Goo,
you said that Joong Ki is perfect...
and that Jin Goo is human.
Did you mean that Jin Goo is a bit lacking?
No.
That's not what I meant.
When you think about Jin Goo,
he is someone you have only seen in movies.
He often played a bad man...
who cut off another man's Achilles tendon.
In real life,
he doesn't even wash himself often.
He doesn't even shave often.
- He was very human. - He is down-to-earth.
When he drinks,
he has a can of beer in his tracksuit.
Seeing that side of him made me think that...
he is very human.
You said Joong Ki is perfect.
- Joong Ki... - He is very down-to-earth.
He is down-to-earth,
but perfect. I think he is perfect.
We had a lot of get-togethers and drinking parties...
for "Descendants of the Sun",
but he didn't drink once.
I guess he drank with Hye Kyo.
(I see.)
I am sorry. I couldn't help myself.
Hye Kyo was always there.
It's hard to refrain from drinking...
when you are there,
but he always brought a packed meal.
Perhaps he did that because he is the lead.
Joong Ki is charismatic.
He really is.
Bo Hyun, who are you close to?
Among actors, I am very close to Kim Woo Bin.
- Kim Woo Bin. - Yes.
You said that the most important person...
in your life of an actor...
- is Kim Woo Bin. - Really?
- I... - Same modelling school?
Yes, we attended the same modelling school.
Woo Bin was born in 1989 and I was born in 1988.
Even before we met in the entertainment business,
we met at a school event.
I only had tracksuits,
but I had to participate in a fashion show.
I ended up borrowing some outfits from Woo Bin.
He was the only friend who came...
- when I went to the army. - Did he see you off?
He was the only friend who saw me off.
We enlisted together.
Is he doing okay these days?
Yes.
We talked on the phone a few days ago.
It has been a while.
Since I hadn't heard his voice for a few months,
tears fell down before I even knew.
Yesterday, I told him that I'd be on this show.
He sincerely congratulated me.
He said that the hosts are all kind,
- I hope he'll recover soon. - so I should just relax...
- Woo Bin got much better. - He got much better.
His hair grew so long...
- like an actor in a period drama. - I see.
I didn't know how you two became friends.
I didn't call him because many people are worried about him.
But he called me first.
He sounded well, and he said he got much better now.
Yu Ri, you must be interested in hair and makeup as well.
You do your own hair and makeup sometimes,
and I heard you even gave your manager a haircut.
- Her manager... - I saw stars give managers food,
- but she cut her manager's hair? - Yes. I heard she did.
Did your manager want that?
- Yes. My manager asked me. - Really?
You must be good at it.
Well, I like cutting hair.
I cut my hair myself.
I also give my husband a haircut.
- Really? - Yes. I found it nice...
- to chat while cutting their hair. - Then...
- do you use haircutting scissors? - I see.
Yes, I use haircutting scissors. I also use...
- a tool that looks like a knife. - I know what it is.
Yes. I use that tool.
- At some point... - You see,
- I like thinning scissors so much. - It's a good tool.
- They use it like this. - It's really good.
- It feels so good. - And I like...
- the way it feels when I cut hair. - I know how it feels.
When a hairdresser uses thinning scissors,
it feels like a taffy vendor is cutting my hair.
- Cutting, cutting. - These days,
- there's a haircutting knife. - That's interesting.
You can just comb the hair, and it cuts hair naturally.
- Does your husband like it? - Yes, he does.
As a TV celebrity, I often go to a hair salon.
- It helped me improve my taste. - She must have a good eye.
- My husband came to leave it to me. - She must be good at it.
- At some point. - Is your manager a man or a woman?
- She's a woman. - And she asked you for a haircut?
- It was my first time... - My goodness.
- I'm more surprised she's a girl. - I had given...
- a girl a haircut. - I'll see her manager's hair later.
Jong Shin...
has gray hair. Do you think you can pull out his gray hair?
- What are you talking about? - It's no use.
My hair is going gray because I've aged.
- It hurts to pull out gray hair. - Right.
Let me see.
- You have a lot of gray hair here. - I know I do.
You've aged.
I'm older than you.
Be nice to me, you brat.
Chang Eui has been busy filming his new drama...
- and bragging about his daughter. - I see.
- Do you have only one child? - Yes.
- What is your daughter's name? - Ha Yul.
- Song Ha Yul. - I see.
How was her first birthday?
These days, people either hold a small party...
- or follow the old-fashioned way... - Right.
- and invite a lot of guests. - That's right.
- It's always 1 of the 2 cases. - I don't think it was the former.
- Actually... - Did you throw her a big party?
- we held a small party. - I see.
- A small party is better. - Did you invite only your families?
- Yes, we invited our families. - They should invite their families.
They can't let their daughter have a party alone.
Their child alone.
- Only close acquaintances. - Yes.
That's what a small party means these days.
Since I'm filming my drama,
we decided to hold a small party...
with our families and relatives.
Did you wish to have a son rather than a daughter?
- I like playing baseball. - Baseball? I see.
I thought it'd be nice to play sports with my son.
Those who play baseball bring their sons to games...
- I see. - They like playing baseball...
wearing the same uniform.
But since I'm raising a daughter...
and see how parents with a son live,
I'm glad we have a daughter.
- It's more fun to raise a girl. - There's a big difference.
Those who have a son seem to have hard times.
- Boys make the house a mess. - Exactly.
- Boys are more boisterous. - Tae Hyun's son...
Babies can't walk for about 10 months.
How messy could a baby be?
- Nevertheless, they make a mess. - Do they?
They move around the house all day long.
- It's normal for a 10-month-old. - Boys are different from girls.
- There's a big difference. - Really?
Having many kids is good too.
If you think about it,
if you have four kids, you'd have no time to think of anything else.
- You've never done it. - That's true.
- You have only one child. - Jong Shin is right.
You're in no position to say that.
I went through something even more stressful.
(Bitter)
Chang Eui has been married for three years.
He and his wife must still have the passion.
You go to bed at 9pm.
It's not like that. My wife...
- goes to sleep very early. - I see.
She goes to bed between 8:30pm and 9pm.
- Really? When does she wake up? - Yes.
- Around 6am. - I see.
Before we got married, when I was drinking with my friend,
I called her...
to tell her that I was having a drink.
At 8:30pm, she said,
"I'm going to bed now. Have a good time with your friend."
That must've been wonderful.
- My friend was surprised. - Yes?
"Is she going to bed now?"
- I see. - "Is she an old lady or what?"
He was very surprised.
My wife sleeps a lot.
In the early years of my marriage, I tried to go to sleep early.
I wasn't used to sleeping that early.
- I had to lie in the bed at 9pm. - Right.
Your wife asks you to do that, right?
Since I had no choice, I once told my mother-in-law,
"Mother, honestly, it's so hard."
"I have to lie in the bed between 8:30pm and 9pm."
She said my wife has always been like that, and I had nothing to say.
You can try this.
Lie in the bed with her and pretend to sleep,
see if she's asleep,
- What was that? - and leave the room.
You don't do that, do you?
Actually,
it feels like a hassle to me. Once I lie in the bed,
I don't want to get out. It's a hassle.
- I understand. - However,
I drink a lot when I go out for a drink.
When I go home...
- You told your wife not to wait up. - But...
I shouldn't wake her up.
We end up fighting if I wake her up.
For example, I went home at 11pm.
- I woke her up unintentionally. - I see.
But we ended up having a fight.
When she's in bed, I must not wake her up.
So I told my mother-in-law...
that I wanted to have a nice chat while drinking with her,
but she goes to sleep too early and hates it when I wake her up.
She said I shouldn't wake her up.
And she was right about that.
Does your wife fall asleep quickly?
Yes. I envy her.
- Does she fall asleep right away? - My wife...
falls asleep between 5 and 10 minutes...
after she closes her eyes.
- I envy her too. - It takes 30 minutes at the most.
She's perfect for hosting a morning show.
- All morning show hosts struggle. - It's hard.
- His wife sounds very unusual. - Exactly.
- At 9pm... - May I ask her name?
Pardon me?
(That's too much information.)
Are you slow-witted?
My wife?
- See? He's slow-witted? - Me?
He was asked about himself, but said, "My wife?"
Chang Eui was slow-witted even at his marriage proposal event,
and he cried alone.
If you held the event after 9pm, she would've fallen asleep.
(Did he choose the bad timing?)
It was so hard.
It was harder than acting.
- It was... - I bet it was hard.
- You should think you're acting. - The wedding was coming soon,
but I hadn't thrown her a proposal event.
Did your wife want it?
- Of course, she did. - All women want it.
There are some women who doesn't.
- I thought... - They're lying.
- There's no woman who wouldn't. - Tae Hyun is right.
So...
I wrote a letter for my wife.
I wrote a four-page letter.
- Four pages? - Yes.
I hadn't written many letters to her before then.
I lit candles around us and read my letter out loud.
All the four pages?
However, I was moved by my letter.
- While you were reading it? - He was moved.
- While I was reading it... - He read all the four pages.
You should've skipped some parts. And you even cried while reading it?
- I didn't cry. - He had to read it.
- While reading it, I got emotional. - You got emotional.
- I see. - I choked while reading it.
When I choked,
I saw my wife.
She was filming me with her phone.
(Laughing)
I...
- I... - I'm sure she wanted to film it.
- I was reading my letter... - Oh, dear.
- I said... - He read all the four pages.
It looks like Bo Hyun is quite nosy.
Do you peek at other people's phone on the subway?
I'm not sure if it's because I'm nosy, but when I'm on the subway...
You know the puzzle game that start with "Candy"...
where you have to match three or more blocks.
He was on the level higher than 200th.
- The person next to me. - I see.
He was playing the game wearing earphones.
He was struggling, and I couldn't help but look at him.
I was looking at him,
and so was the person in front him. Many people were looking at him.
I could see the block he should move,
- but he couldn't see it. - I see.
The time bomb was about to explode.
I couldn't just watch it anymore.
I moved that block for him without looking him in the eyes,
and he cleared the level.
He got so excited.
(He cleared the level.)
He couldn't hear anything.
He said, "Thank you! Thank you!"
- "He's a hero. He's a hero." - "A hero"?
Everyone looked at me...
as if I had caught someone sexually harassing a woman.
He's a subway hero.
(He became a subway hero by being nosy.)
Yu Ri is nosy too.
When she sees people fiddling with their phones,
she asks them to take a picture with her.
- They might not want to do that. - Right.
Many people feel too shy to ask for it, right?
They find it hard to come up to me and talk to me.
- It's nice of you to talk to them. - Yes. So...
I often ask if they want to take a picture with me first.
- What if they say, - Yes.
"I wasn't trying to take a picture of you"?
Actually, some people refused it.
(Embarrassed)
- "Come here. It's okay." - What did you do?
I said I didn't mind taking a picture with me.
They said the same thing to each other. "It's okay."
- "It's okay. I'm fine." - "It's okay. Please come."
"I don't mind taking a picture with you."
"I said, I'm fine."
(They're considerate of each other.)
Bo Hyun used to be...
a fashion model.
His hands and legs are in different sizes and lengths,
and it made it hard to work as a model.
- Are your arms different lengths? - Is it because of boxing training?
- When I stand up... - How can they be different lengths?
I once failed an audition because of the size of my hands.
- My hands are too big. - I can see that.
They take pictures of the models on the runway.
I'm supposed to make the clothes stand out,
but my hands draw more attention.
- He has long arms too. - Since my hands are so big...
- He can reach that spot. - So...
- a fashion designer said... - He has long arms too.
he would hire me,
but I should put my hands in the pockets.
But when I put my hands in the pockets,
my hands stuck out like this.
Models usually cup their hands as if they're holding eggs.
But my hands are too big.
He's very proud of his strong hands.
We'll see if he can crush a watermelon with one hand.
- With one hand? - With the edge of his hand?
- Yes, with the edge of my hand. - Isn't it..
Is it hard to crush it?
- It's really hard. - He might hurt his hand.
- It's bigger than I thought. - Hang on.
Let me have a look.
- Try to crush it in one try. - I think...
- You see, a watermelon... - It's hard.
- Of course. - It won't be easy.
It'd be much easier...
- if it's fixed to the table. - It's not easy.
Oh, no. What's this?
(What? Why was it crushed at that moment?)
(Everyone is taken aback.)
- What was that? - Oh, no.
- All right. You succeeded. - Gu Ra.
- Gu Ra. - This is how things work.
- My goodness. - You have to keep trying.
- Nothing can be done in one try. - That's right.
- It's better than using a knife. - Exactly.
- I split it so cleanly. - It's as if he used a knife.
Exactly. It's amazing.
- That's a special talent. - Look at this.
- It looks so delicious. - It's ripe.
- I have thick hands. - Bo Hyun used to be a boxer.
- This isn't right. - The hands of a self-made man.
- They're quite thick. - Gu Ra has strong hands.
- I just hit it lightly a few times. - Right.
Please have some.
Give this piece to the CEO.
- "To the CEO"? - This is for the chief director.
- I want to try it too. - Give it a try.
- It's not easy. - I don't think I can do this.
- Do it at once. - Don't hit it more than once.
I already tried that.
- Should I hit it hard just once? - Yes.
- All right. - I'll give it a try.
(Gu Ra, who has the hands of a self-made man, is also nervous.)
(Could he be able to crush it at once?)
(That's scary.)
- That was no joke. - My gosh.
- He's so strong. - He crushed it into pieces.
- He crushed it into pieces. - Gosh.
- Please have some. - I did a better job.
- I did a better job. - Oh, no.
- It looks ugly. - Gu Ra split it cleanly.
- We should eat some. - Let's have a bite.
- Shall we eat it? - Please bring it...
He has such strong hands.
There's nothing like watermelon in summer.
Is it sweet?
- Gu Ra's watermelon looked better. - Of course.
- I did well too, right? - Please have some.
I didn't expect that.
We talked about the hot weather, and we're eating watermelon now.
(The unexpected watermelon party)
This is nice.
There's nothing like watermelon in summer.
- It's ripe. - Please give me one piece.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for the four guests who promoted...
themselves as well as their drama, "Hide and Seek".
"The Song That Will Show My Hidden Talent".
- Young Min, you don't have to... - Right.
worry about being unknown anymore.
Shall we hear the song that Young Min chose?
("There She Is" by Witches)
"There She Is" by Witches.
Why did you choose this song?
I play a spoiled brat in "Hide and Seek".
In the drama, I meet a woman who will change my personality.
That's why I chose this song.
- I see. - All right.
Let's hear him sing "There She Is".
("There She Is" sung by Kim Young Min)
He's a very quiet person.
(Nervous)
(The music starts.)
(He chose an exciting song unexpectedly.)
I'm weak-minded.
(Everyone is worried about the weak-minded Young Min.)
Nice. That's great.
He's different on stage.
He looks like a completely different person.
I like it.
(What has gotten into him?)
(One day)
(What is going on?)
(The weak-minded actor is performing like crazy.)
(The taste of the stage he's been waiting for)
(I hope to become popular now.)
(I'm happy, I'm happy)
(No one can stop him!)
(She came to me, she came to me)
(Is he the same person we talked to before?)
(I missed you, I wanted to hug you)
(The way a 48-year-old actor have fun)
(I'm happy)
(I am Kim Young Min. Remember my name.)
(It feels as if someone else performed for Young Min.)
His performance reminded me of Lee Park Sa in his glory days.
He showed enormous passion. It was amazing.
- Young Min is born to be an actor. - That's right.
As soon as he goes up on the stage or the director says, "Action",
he turns into a different person.
Young Min and I appear in many scenes together...
because of our characters. However,
he doesn't make jokes often in real life.
- He's a serious person. - He's been serious all along...
- today. - That's right.
I wondered about his personality.
He changes when the camera is rolling.
- He changes once the camera rolls. - He turns into a different person.
He feels like a different person.
Shall we hear the song that Bo Hyun chose?
("Spring Days of My Life" by Can)
- He chose Can's song. - It's a good song.
Why did you choose this song?
I lived around the dockside just like the lyrics.
- I see. - I used to be a boxer,
and the song says about fists. I like the lyrics.
I thought it would be nice.
Shall we hear him sing "Spring Days of My Life"?
("Spring Days of My Life" sung by Ahn Bo Hyun)
Thank you for inviting me on Radio Star.
It's been very hot. I hope you beat the heat well.
We can do it. Go, "Hide and Seek"!
- We can do it! - We can do it!
(Growing up around the smelly dockside,)
(Bo Hyun, the young boxer, ran around like a king.)
(With my faith in my fists, which I'm proud of,)
(I came on Radio Star, not "Video Star", fearlessly.)
(However, Gu Ra ruined my demonstration of my special talent.)
(And I let Gook Jin punch me in the ribs twice.)
(The spring days of Bo Hyun's life begins now.)
Awesome!
You looked so manly.
He clenched his fist while singing.
I practiced too much yesterday, so my voice is hoarse now.
Today's theme was "The Endless Promotion..."
"of 'Hide and Seek'".
Before we wrap up, tell the viewers about yourselves as an actor.
What would you say to promote yourself?
Just like the drama title, "Hide and Seek",
I was hiding as if I was playing hide and seek.
From now on, I will do my best...
to make perfect transformation in front of a camera.
Please watch me.
He speaks so calmly, but his performance was...
- He's born to be an actor. - She came to me
He's different on stage.
I can imagine how your acting performances would be.
- He just needs a chance to show it. - Yes.
- Bo Hyun. - Yes.
I found such an interesting job while I was on a different path.
And now, I'm pursuing my acting career.
However, I believe I have as much perseverance and passion...
as any other actors do.
I'll continue to work hard.
He's an actor who is able to beat Kim Jong Kook.
- Right. - I'm looking forward to...
- We'll arrange a match. - hosting Radio Star...
- in a boxing stadium. - We'll invite...
- them to the match. - Bo Hyun will win the gold medal.
We've been here with the four cast members of the new weekend drama,
"Hide and Seek".
Everyone, you did a great job today. Awesome, awesome
Awesome promotion
We hope you will entertain the viewers through your drama...
with your awesome acting skills.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
