- Hey guys. - You startled me.
Are you guys all ready?
I am ready too.
- What's going on? - What is he doing?
Are you all ready to eat food...
on this Chuseok?
- Hey. - Your blood pressure is high.
- I thought... - Your face is so red now.
- Until now... - Gosh.
- Food... - Don't get too excited.
You don't like the food you eat during Chuseok.
I love holiday meals.
Someone please listen to Sang Min's story.
- What's wrong, Sang Min? - Tell us.
He was like, "Until now... Food..."
"Until now..."
It was my first time to see a person who gets ready before eating food.
We are having Chuseok.
And we are all from different hometowns.
Is there any special dishes you eat during the festive season?
My family?
There's nothing special. We eat taro soup.
I've never heard of taro soup.
- Really? - People gather and eat the soup.
A lot of people eat taro soup.
- My family do eat. - That's right.
People usually cook with regional specialties for the feast.
- I... - We have to...
I am sorry. You can speak first.
Let Sang Min talk. His image is lower now too.
- Is he keeping Sang Min in check? - He is.
I remember that...
my family put cockles for ancestral rites ceremony.
- Cockles. - Cockles.
- His mother... - She is from Jeolla Province.
- Is she? - She is from Jeolla Province.
She always put cockles.
- We also had galbijjim. - People eat different food.
We always put seaweed.
- You have seaweed? - For ancestral rites ceremony?
There is seaweed with high quality.
The seaweed soup looks amazing.
It looks like a masterpiece.
We cook that seaweed soup for ancestral rites ceremony.
People from Gyeonggi Province cook vegetables.
Once the table was thrown over by itself.
Why?
My grandfather was angry for not getting any meat.
- You mean your ancestor? - I think he kicked the table.
- After that... - Really?
He even makes a joke out of his ancestor.
The table was thrown over like this.
You shouldn't make a joke out of your ancestor.
He would understand me. Because he told me to be a comedian.
- The table was thrown over? - Right.
- Goodness. - "Why is there no meat?"
- He is amazing. - That's so scary.
I'm from Gangwon Province. You wash the rice in the water.
It's the water that used to wash the rice.
If you drink it, you don't get scared.
They used to make me drink the water when I was small.
So I don't get scared easily.
It's my first time to hear that.
- It's real. - It depends on the towns.
- That's true. - Where are you from?
I am from Seoul.
- What did you eat then? - We had skewers.
- Skewers? - Sanjeok.
- Right, sanjeok. - We also had sanjeok.
Every time when we make those,
we check the prices first.
For example, if chives are expensive,
we buy spring onions as substitutes.
It depends on the situations.
How more expensive can it be?
You wouldn't understand that.
(This is a household affair.)
Okay.
We have to be kind.
Let's not expect any transfer students today.
Let's discuss about ceremonial tables.
- No. - Let's have a discussion.
- Why? - In the waiting room,
he kept saying that he's having a bad condition.
He wants to do thing easily today.
Let's just do the show without the transfer students today.
Are you worried about him? You are scared to bleed.
Are you scared of today's transfer students?
Stop acting so clever.
(Screaming)
Stop acting so clever.
We are just...
(Ho Dong, I am here.)
(The original strong man, Lee Man Gi)
(He is scared.)
(Extraordinary and bubbly, Sayuri)
(Cute and bubbly, Hong Yun Hwa)
I waited so long outside.
That's our show.
Why do you make the guests so tired?
"Why do you make the guests so tired?"
It feels like he is just a neighbor.
Why don't you stand up?
- I am here. - Man Gi is here.
- We are all friends here. - We are.
We are all...
He stood up.
We are all friends here on this show.
Friends?
We are all friends on this show.
- Were you not told? - Were you not told?
Don't you have any rice at home?
I don't. Are you going to give me some?
Do you eat half of the rice? Why are you talking like that?
- Today... - Swag.
We have to be friends on this show.
You are famous for being so kind. Why do you look so upset?
- That's right. - But...
Calm down. Calm down.
Everyone becomes so angry every time they enter the classroom.
They become so angry as they open the door.
Exactly.
Sir, are you here to send your daughters to this school?
Introduce yourselves first.
My introduction? Listen carefully.
Okay.
I am here to catch Ho Dong...
today.
I am the original strong man, Lee Man Gi.
He is the original.
(I am the original.)
People prefer originals.
There are imitations for everything.
- He is the original. - He is the right rival for Ho Dong.
He is the right rival for Ho Dong.
He is your rival.
And you, Sayuri?
It's fun to watch foreigners' talent shows. I am Sayuri.
What?
It's fun to watch foreigners' talent shows. I am Sayuri.
- "It's fun to watch..." - "Foreigners' talent shows."
"It's fun to watch..."
"foreigners' talent shows. I am Sayuri."
- He takes care of her. - Exactly.
Where are you from?
I eat a lot. I live happily.
I am getting married soon.
I'm the cutest person between the people who weigh more than 60kg.
I'm Hong Yun Hwa.
She is so cute.
(She is so cute.)
Not 90kg. 60kg.
You look like Man Gi's daughter.
Isn't he your father?
You just said I am your friend.
Why do you say she's my daughter?
We always change depends on the situations.
They change their minds.
We speak whatever we want.
- He is a senior sportsman to you. - I am scared of him.
(Laughing)
- He is so scary. - Be nice to him.
I am not as scared as Ho Dong.
But I more scared than others.
I can't look at him in his eyes.
It's because you guys were sportsmen.
Why did you agree to come here when they invited you on the show?
Why are you talking with respect all of a sudden?
We are all friends.
- We are all being so rude. - We should take care of it.
I don't know how to talk now.
You even did the show with Lee Gyeong Gyu.
Then you call his name.
Man Gi. Man Gi.
- Okay? - He does things like this.
Lee Man Gi. Which year were you born?
(Come here, Yeong Cheol.)
- This is so scary. - It's so scary.
(Look at me.)
He is so scary.
(Thank goodness, I wasn't rude to Man Gi.)
Stop acting so strong.
- Why don't you... - Okay.
do it for Ho Dong?
- On this show... - You should...
stay quiet when he tells you to.
I didn't even act rude to him.
That's why it doesn't make any sense.
- Why did he say that? - Gosh.
When we didn't have any guests...
Ho Dong is so soft now.
- He wasn't like that. - Yeong Cheol.
- If you think of the old time... - Back then...
How rude was he in the past?
We were trying our best for the competition.
Wasn't it before the competition?
You were holding his thigh band.
I hated him so much at that time.
- Really? - He was so loud too.
- He bled at the nose. - I didn't mind him doing that.
But he did that right in front of my face.
(Screaming)
I didn't do it like that.
(You didn't?)
I screamed like this.
You didn't scream like that.
(It was worse than that.)
(The moment when Ho Dong provoked Man Gi)
(Ho Dong stands up before the match.)
(Screaming)
(Kneel down first.)
(I don't want to.)
(Even the coaches had fight.)
(It was their last match.)
(Ho Dong's thigh band slipped off from Man Gi's hands.)
It was a sudden attack.
(Ho Dong wins after attacking suddenly.)
Kang Ho Dong wins.
(Screaming)
(He winks at the camera.)
(Don't be so rude.)
(What?)
(I won't do the match like this.)
(He just swore at me.)
(He feels so embarrassed.)
We all watched the match.
- It made you upset. - I wasn't upset.
You would go crazy if you watch him doing that.
But...
as a ssireum fan...
Sayuri and Yun Hwa, do you know who Man Gi is?
(They look at him.)
Let me explain how amazing he was.
- Was he amazing? - I don't know much about him.
He was the Man of the Strong Man for 10 times.
He won Halla Strong Man for seven times.
He was the Baekdu Strong Man for 18 times.
If I add up all the awards he won,
he won the strong man title for 49 times.
He was the best ssireum player in Korea.
He was the strongest sportsman in Korea.
- He won 49 times. - Amazing.
Suddenly, this guy showed up.
And this guy beat Man Gi.
So Man Gi lost his mind.
Of course.
Whose side are you on now?
I am just saying the facts.
- Which side are you on? - You were praising Man Gi.
- So... - He was like...
When we were little, Man Gi was...
a nasty person.
- Me? - Yes. Because...
- Why? - Because...
- He was the winner every time. - It was the same winner...
every year without changing once.
He is smiling all of a sudden.
Are you happy now?
No matter who comes to the final rounds,
Man Gi always won.
The whole nation praised him.
The whole nation was sitting in front of TV to watch his match.
- You guys don't know that, right? - Of course not.
It was a live show on KBS.
They even delayed the nine o'clock news for his match.
- They even delayed the news. - And...
when I was doing the finals,
there were no cars on the streets.
They were probably watching your match.
They were all watching the match.
They were not many cars in 1980s.
He is being rude too.
He is.
The biggest news wasn't...
his strong man title.
When he loses a game, that became the biggest news.
- That's right. - When he lost once,
it became like a big issue.
- People were so crazy about it. - And...
Ho Dong won.
What's wrong with him today?
I really want to hear how you felt when you lost.
It's not the right way to say it.
- Then how? - Then what do I say?
When Ho Dong won?
I was preparing for my retirement...
at that time.
If I retire...
during my best days,
I thought there wouldn't be any players to continue the ssireum.
I wanted to retire when I meet someone who can beat me.
I thought I would...
- retire naturally. - He's thoughtful.
I was so happy at that time.
I was.
But Ho Dong was provoking me at that time.
When was I provoking you?
I was so happy, but he provoked me.
He was provoking like this.
It made me so angry.
- He told on you to the referee. - He did.
He told on me to the referee.
"How can he do that?"
(He is so embarrassed.)
Because...
- He was so mean. - He just remembered the situation.
You remember it now, don't you?
- It wasn't like that. - You don't remember it?
He told me that so many times. So I remember it now.
When he thinks back...
We talk often with our seniors too.
When Man Gi was competing against his seniors,
he just tried his best. He didn't want to look weak.
He was a hero to me.
How nervous and scary would I have been...
to fight against my hero?
I hid that nervous feeling by being aggressive.
I tried to hide how nervous I was.
- But it was over the line. - But you...
I never did this in front of others.
You did this while facing me.
(That doesn't show any respect, does it?)
That's not what I meant to do.
Did I do that?
(Don't make excuses.)
I must've been so thrilled.
You used to tumble.
He was so happy to win.
That's right.
There was no one like him before.
Only ghosts do this in front of a human.
I will be honest.
In our hearts, he was the king.
Whenever we had a match,
my coach and I looked the shabbiest entering the arena.
But when I saw him... There were flags when we entered.
My flag just had my name "Kang Ho Dong".
But his flag was the flag of a champion.
His flag was decorated so nicely.
- It was expensive. - That daunted you.
And when he entered the arena,
he entered with about 50 people.
(Here comes the champion.)
He was wearing a different robe too.
He was wearing a golden one.
Right. And when he grabbed my thigh band,
the smell of an expensive perfume spread in the air.
He was wearing an expensive perfume.
His skin was...
He was massaged so well...
- Isn't he... - that his skin was so smooth.
The smell makes you a little tipsy.
That's how much of a big star he was, and I was terrified.
Ho Dong came out when I was about to the end of my career.
He was...
This is what I felt as I was walking into the arena.
Did you think he was so annoying?
Yes. He must've been.
I think he's adjusted to the show now.
I had to retire soon.
Looking at Ho Dong, I realized this.
I realized that he had the ability...
to follow my footsteps...
and develop ssireum. I felt that.
Ho Dong's body shape is very unique.
- His body shape is not ordinary. - How is he different?
- He's got a big head. - His got big bones.
He's got a short neck.
He's got a short neck. Usually people have a wide chest.
- Ho Dong had a thick chest. - A thick chest.
A person with that body shape is really strong.
That's why I failed to lift him...
every time I tried.
(He's embarrassed.)
Did you lose not just once but every time?
Did you?
- Several times. - Several times?
It wasn't every time. He lost just several times.
- He can be bullied for many things. - I am sorry.
- Cheer up. - Many people bully him.
I will cheer up.
I can't forget it. It was July 11 of 1989.
It was July 11 of 1989. It was at Busan KBS Hall.
Our first match was a semifinal game.
He can't remember it well.
It was just one of 300 games for him.
For me, it was my first game against my idol.
It's the day I can never forget.
When he was entering the arena,
I am sure he never imagined that he might lose.
When he was entering the arena,
I am sure he never imagined that he might lose.
I thought you were just a kid.
- Just a kid. - Just a kid.
When he came up...
It was a semifinal game though.
Even so.
When I saw him coming up, I thought I would easily make him fall.
(That's what Man Gi thought.)
I thought he would flip if I just give him a light kick.
(He didn't think Ho Dong was strong.)
You only thought about the final game.
I was only worried about the final game.
When I saw Ho Dong coming up,
I thought I was actually lucky.
- You thought you were lucky. - Really?
"How did he make it to the semifinal game?"
I really thought so because I had been seeing him since young.
But when I grabbed his thigh band...
(He was surprised.)
I realized that I was...
- You underestimated him. - I underestimated him.
- Right. - I totally underestimated him.
(In 1989, Ho Dong and Man Gi had the 1st match.)
Throw.
Ho Dong lifts him up again.
He threw him.
Ho Dong threw him.
He beat Man Gi.
Ho Dong beat Man Gi.
I completely underestimated him.
But when I grabbed him and got up,
(He felt it at that moment.)
I realized he wasn't the kid I used to know.
- He was like a rock. - He's unbelievably strong.
You used to live together.
- Did they? - We lived together for a while.
- How? - When I was just starting out,
- When he was just starting out. - Man Gi's coach was...
- Hwang Kyung Soo. - I see.
He found me.
That's how I got into ssireum.
Man Gi was staying at the coach's house.
- He was training me. - I was the youngest.
I entered his house as one of his pupils.
He must've been a kid.
I was staying in the same house with my idol.
He was just a kid.
I was in 2nd or 3rd year of college.
I was in middle school in seventh grade.
Were you a seventh grader?
- That's why... - He was a child.
- I considered you a child. - He was a baby.
- And you did that to him? - He was small.
He had small eyes, and he was chubby.
He greeted me, "Hello, sir."
- He's so cute. - How cute.
I must've been cute.
That was cute.
When you met, you knew each other.
So why did you go wild and...
- act annoyingly? - Act annoying?
They said it together.
I told you. That's how nervous I was.
Kyung Hoon, at the time, ssireum was...
much more popular than you imagine.
The day of ssireum was...
There was a match on every Lunar New Year and...
It was...
Okay.
(He becomes dispirited.)
Well done.
"Okay."
You sounded so haughty.
- By the way... - "Okay."
- Tell us more about it. - Tells us more.
I heard you didn't have the physique...
of a ssireum player when you were younger.
I was so tiny.
- They queued up. - Where are you.
- The first one. - Are you the very first one?
- He was very thin. - That was in the '80s.
- No, it must've been the '70s. - What year was that?
- It looks like a Korean War photo. - Isn't it Joseon Dynasty?
Isn't it Joseon Dynasty?
Wasn't that right after the Korean War?
Were you the smallest?
- I was the smallest. - Really?
I could never be...
a successful ssireum player with...
And yet...
that physique.
I grew up in the country side, and I didn't get to eat.
When I joined the ssireum team, they gave me milk.
They gave me milk when I joined the team.
- I didn't get to eat it. - Why?
- Did it give you diarrhea? - Did it give you diarrhea?
I couldn't take it in. It was too greasy.
- You weren't used to it. - He never had high-protein before.
- It was my first time. - He wasn't used to protein.
Other people were drinking so much of it.
But I couldn't eat it. I just kept drinking water.
So I thought I could never be successful with ssireum.
My eldest brother consulted my coach...
if I should quit doing ssireum.
That's when I entered middle school.
Mr. Hwang said we should wait...
because some kids grow late.
When I entered seventh grade,
I gained 10kg...
a year.
I grew 10cm a year. It lasted for 3 years.
I just grew and grew.
- Did it make that sound? - What?
(She's very fascinated.)
Did it make the sound?
Did it sound like that when you were growing?
(Was his growth loud?)
It made that sound.
- Did it? - it made that sound.
You suddenly started growing when you entered middle school.
- That's when I suddenly grew. - And you became heavy too?
I grew like that until the first year of high school.
This gave me an advantage.
When I was in elementary and middle school, I was small.
So I learned flipping techniques.
- I played with delicate techniques. - You learned techniques.
When I became too big, I couldn't use those techniques.
- You were too big. - I was too big.
That's when I started learning the techniques for big people.
So my slow growth made it possible for me...
to learn all kinds of techniques.
- I see, the techniques. - I had good fundamentals.
- I was good at everything. - There are different techniques.
That provided me the chance.
When he first became the champion,
- At the time, - In 1983.
he wasn't very big.
- He was under 100kg. - He became popular...
- because he was handsome. - He was handsome.
And he had a slim body.
He still became the champion, and people were surprised.
After he became the champion, he was in all kinds of commercials.
He was in every commercial.
- He did the one for Gevral T. - What kind of commercials?
- What? - Gevral T.
- What? Gevral? - Gevral?
- Gevral T. - It's a nutritional supplement.
It was in the '80s. That's when we were...
going from black-and-white TV to a color TV.
I was the first person...
to advertise a color TV.
"Technology is the most important."
(Everyone is amazed.)
I remember that.
- He was a small man... - I beat big men.
who beat people...
- much bigger than him. - Like Lee Bong Geol.
He threw everyone.
It's like me defeating Jang Hoon.
- Right. - Yes.
The difference wasn't that big.
- Besides... - No, I'm sure there's a difference.
He's 160cm tall.
(He's 47cm shorter than me.)
He's so tall, you know.
Lee Bong Geol is as tall as me.
Man Gi is as tall as Ho Dong.
Soo Geun is much shorter.
- It's impossible. - I'm 160cm tall too.
- Really? - By the way...
Ho Dong always boasts about his calves.
- He bullies us so much. - Why?
- He's so proud of his calves. - Yes. He's proud of his calves.
Actually, Man Gi is famous for his calves.
- That's right. - I guess Sayuri might not know...
- but there's a heart. - Right. A heart is there.
- A heart? - A heart on his calves.
- He has a heart on his body. - On his calf?
- Yes. - Show us.
- There's a heart on his calves. - Let's compare your calves.
Stop it.
Compare them. You always boasted about your thick calves to us.
- Show us. - You bragged about it. Come on.
It's been a long time. Show us.
It's better for me if you compare them.
My calves look pretty good.
- Look at your socks. - His socks are cute.
- Look at my calves. - It's the same with you.
(The muscle on his calf stand out.)
This is...
- Everyone, it's so hard. - Ssireum players have this.
You still have that.
Please show me yours too.
It looks like a raw chicken.
- Seriously. It's a raw chicken. - It's like a sweet potato.
(Man Gi shows his calves.)
- Goodness! - It's amazing.
- Look at the muscle. - It's amazing.
- His legs look incredible. - It's another level.
- You have nice muscles. - You do too, Man Gi.
We shouldn't compare our legs like this.
We should compare our legs with someone else's.
- Look at that. - Goodness.
Lift your heels when I tell you. Lift them.
(Hee Chul's leg looks so sleek.)
- Ho Dong, stand next to him now. - There's the heart.
- It looks like a butterfly. - You stand next to him.
- Stop it! - Do it like this.
- It's smaller. - It's small.
It's much smaller.
Seeing that you compete with each other on a muscle,
I wonder if we have a Korean wrestling match later.
The viewers might be looking forward to it.
You're getting better.
(Man Gi won the match on calves.)
He still has nice muscles on his legs.
With power from those calves...
- Do you know squat? - I do.
- It's goes like this. - I know.
In his golden days, Man Gi held about 260kg.
- 260kg? - Did he hold it?
He was holding the weight as he was squatting.
- Did he do it like that? - Is that possible?
Can you lift Ho Dong...
- He did much more than that. - up and down like that?
Ho Dong weighs 140kg, so it's like holding over 100kg more than him.
Try it.
(He's confused about Sayuri's character.)
She's more unreasonable than me, right?
You make a great chemistry with Sayuri.
- It's better than I expected. - Their talk is so fun, right?
They look like Tom and Jerry.
Sayuri, you haven't seen Man Gi before?
No, I guess it was 10 years ago...
She doesn't really know what I do.
That's true. I have no idea.
She wonders if I am an entertainer as she has met me on variety shows.
She only thinks about that. She doesn't know...
- what I have done in the past. - I don't know.
Sayuri, you can think it like this. In Japan, among Sumo wrestlers,
- he was Yokozuna... - I see.
alone for 10 years.
You can imagine it that way.
- It's amazing. - He appears on TV now,
- Really? - and he's a professor as well.
I respect him for the first time.
She respects him for the first time.
By the way, like Man Gi said at first,
he wanted to go down from the top...
and hoped Ho Dong could take his seat.
And Ho Dong actually did it.
But Ho Dong didn't stay in ssireum for a long time.
You thought he would succeed you,
but he went to the show business suddenly.
- Ho Dong did it for 2 to 3 years. - How did you feel?
He thought, "I should have done that earlier myself."
(I should have entered the show business earlier.)
"I missed the timing."
"Kyung Kyu should have noticed me."
I felt sorry because...
I thought it would be nice if he could succeed in my seat.
When he first appeared in broadcasting,
his seniors in ssireum wanted him to play...
more dignified and better roles.
Then we would have felt less sorry.
But right after he appeared on the broadcasting,
- he did this. - In "Sudden Shower".
- "Brother!" - "Brother!"
I was so cute.
You thought it was cute, but it drove us crazy.
- I'm sorry. - You did this...
- with such a weird looking hair... - Right.
- Really? - Your nose was running...
- with ringworm on your head, - You mean whitecomb.
and you went, "Brother!"
(He went, "Brother!" moving his arm.)
I wondered if he really had to do that.
- I was really worried. - You worried a lot.
Ho Dong was like that, and then...
But whenever I ran across Man Gi, he encouraged me.
- He patted me on shoulders and all. - I think that experience helped.
Ho Dong has made a great success now,
and really became the national figure in broadcasting.
Although I'm his senior, now...
I feel proud of him.
(Man Gi is proud of Ho Dong.)
I'm having tears in my eyes.
Let's change this warm atmosphere quickly.
- This is not the atmosphere I want. - Okay.
As Man Gi said a warm story,
Yun Hwa and Sayuri can say something bad about Ho Dong.
- Were you on "Star King"? - You were on "Star King", right?
I was on "Star King" for one and a half years.
Yun Hwa, you can say that you hate Ho Dong on this show.
You can say that you got hurt by Ho Dong.
I'm not a victim of "Star King".
- Then are you an assailant? - I'm not that either.
I had no presence then, so I was just sitting there.
- You were a bystander. - I was a bystander.
Was Ho Dong nice to you?
Well...yes.
I guess he wasn't.
It's because I was invisible then.
I was in charge of waking up Nam Chang Hee who was dozing off.
(She was in charge of waking up Nam Chang Hee who was dozing off.)
When the shooting for "Star King" got too long...
Chang Hee dozed off,
I went, "Chang Hee. Chang Hee. Wake up."
I woke him up every two hours.
We had a get-together a lot after we were done with shooting.
Yes, we had a get-together. Then I...
You should have cared for her during shooting rather than buying dinner.
When we had a get-together, I thought Ho Dong was the best.
- Why? Were you impressed? - We went to a noodle place,
and you know how they have a menu on the wall.
He ordered what's written from the beginning to the end.
He did it so that he could eat all of them.
He showed how he ordered and ate each of them in front of me.
I thought, "I wish I could live such a life."
(She wished she could live such a life.)
You respected him.
I heard in a meat restaurant or a buffet restaurant,
there's a notice that says,
"We're sorry, but we don't accept..."
"the descendants of Lee Man Gi and Kang Ho Dong".
I was eating the most in my life...
when I was a high school sophomore.
It's around the age you eat a lot of amounts.
People used a big rice bowl of brassware,
but it was changed to a smaller rice bowl for improving people's diets...
as we didn't have enough rice in Korea back then.
Improving people's diets.
As we didn't have enough rice in Korea back then,
we tried to consume less rice.
It was when the general rice was changed to unification rice.
The yield of general rice was low,
and the yield of unification rice was high back then.
- As there wasn't enough rice... - Pear?
Pear? A fruit?
- Rice. He meant rice. - A fruit?
- He said rice. - Rice, I see.
I thought it was pear too.
- It was poor in quality. - Unification rice had poor quality.
And then smaller bowl appeared when I was a high school sophomore.
It was when the current rice bowl first appeared.
- Was it changed due to a campaign? - It was changed due to a campaign.
I went to a restaurant and received the rice.
It was gone after two spoonsfuls.
My record is nine rice bowls when I was a high school sophomore.
- That's when I ate the most. - It was when a meat buffet...
restaurant was first opened in my neighborhood.
I was a middle school student. Me and my friends,
four of us who were all similar of the build, went there.
We were not sports players.
We went to the same private education institute.
We went to the restaurant after we finished class at a math academy.
Were you preparing to enter an eating contest?
We went to have dinner after we finished class at a math academy.
The owner approached us...
and said middle school students were allowed only an hour to eat.
- He told us to leave. - He said that suddenly.
Yes, suddenly.
Even elementary school students were sitting there longer than us,
but he said middle school students needed to eat in an hour.
So we only ate for an hour and left the place.
- You didn't know why. - Did you have your meal all right?
- We ate a lot. - It was because you ate a lot.
Sayuri, were you always thin?
I exercise a lot these days.
I make sure I eat fermented bean paste in the morning.
- You eat fermented bean paste. - You mean natto?
- No, fermented bean paste. - The Korean one?
- Fermented bean paste? - Yes, fermented bean paste.
- It's fermented bean paste. - Right.
- What did you think she said? - What did you think I said?
Are you all right with your hearing?
"Are you all right with your hearing?"
All three of them standing there...
can't understand each other.
We need an interpreter.
They can't understand his dialect...
and her Japanese.
She can't understand anything.
- She can't understand. - Did you understand what we said?
Did you understand what she said, fermented soybean paste?
- Of course. - The fermented soybean paste?
- Rather, unification rice... - Yes, unification rice.
I thought you were talking about a pear, the fruit.
You pronounced unification rice as unification pear.
It doesn't matter if it's rice or pear.
- I can understand you. - You can understand, right?
I can understand you.
I understood it as pear, so I wondered if he ate a pear.
It was rice, but he pronounced it like a pear.
Unification rice, I see.
Sayuri, there's a rumor that you're going out...
with Sang Min.
Yes. You went to Japan often.
- You met her parents. - You went there whenever you rest.
How long have you been married?
(You need to say "virtually" married.)
How long have we been married?
I'm talking about the show, "With You".
- It was less than a year. - That's right.
As I see on "Mom's Diary",
you went to her home in Japan too.
You hang out with her parents.
My dad likes Sang Min more than I do.
He says a man like Sang Min is the best.
As well as your father, your mother certainly likes Sang Min.
My mother likes everything about him.
Your father doesn't have much information on Korea.
- He knows everything. - He does know.
He knows everything about his financial standing and all.
Have you ever met him for other than the broadcasting?
We've never met outside of the show.
Anyway, it will be a long story.
- Why? What did I do wrong? - Sayuri looks upset.
- You hurt her again. - It's because everywhere I go,
people think I'm dating Sang Min, and I'll marry him.
I went to Los Angles the other day. When I went to Los Angeles,
I was hanging out in a pretty dress in Korea Town.
You know there are so many Korean people there.
They kept asking me why I didn't come with Sang Min.
Excuse me, Sayuri.
You're Japanese.
You should go to Japan Town in Los Angeles.
- It's my choice. - But she went to Korea Town.
I had naengmyeon four times in Korea Town.
- She had naengmyeon. - I think...
no one recognizes you in Japan Town,
while everyone in Korea Town recognizes you.
I got a facial Botox injection at a dermatology in Korea Town.
Why do you have to go to Los Angeles for that?
Although you're a virtual couple,
you sometimes have feelings for each other.
- Right. - Have you never wished...
if it was real?
But he doesn't talk.
- He doesn't talk much. - He's quiet.
- He never talks. - You talk a lot.
- So you are a good match. - You complement each other.
We got on an airplane together, and he didn't talk at all.
- He's seeing someone. - Yes.
Do you think he's seeing someone or not?
- He's seeing someone. - He's dating...
- a sexy Korean American girl. - I knew it.
(He's seeing a sexy Korean American girl)
What are you talking about?
That's why he always goes abroad when he doesn't have work.
He's dating a Korean American.
- Korean American. - A sexy woman.
- A sexy woman. - Who did you hear it from?
My friend's friend saw him.
- A friend saw him? - A sexy Korean American woman?
He can go to a restaurant with his female friend.
That doesn't necessarily mean that he's dating her.
- His eyes were different. - Then the rumor wouldn't spread.
- We wouldn't know. - His eyes are different.
We don't know if it's true or not.
Sayuri is... Sayuri...
- doesn't talk either. - Really?
- I am chatty. - Why are you changing the subject?
Tell us about the sexy Korean American lady.
- That's... - Wait.
The important thing is this.
Have you heard about Sang Min dating...
a sexy Korean American lady?
I have never heard of it.
Nobody has heard of it.
- Only she knows this information. - Right.
That means she always pays attention to what he does.
- Right. - Why?
Why is he interested in his life?
- What do you mean? - She's interested in him.
I am bothered by it.
- Are you bothered by it? - When I hear...
- that he's with someone... - But it's the same.
She makes jokes about me dating a Korean American.
- Are you saying that's a joke? - Is it a joke?
She's very naughty.
- Is this show a joke then? - No, she's really joking.
He's whining.
- No, I am not. - Hey.
Is it the message to the sexy Korean American lady?
(Is it a secret message to her?)
But this time, I felt...
that Sayuri has a boyfriend.
- What are you doing? - What are you two doing?
- What's going on with you two? - Where?
I went to Japan twice to visit her parents.
When I went there the first time, she called me this.
"My husband". She referred me as her husband to her mom.
But when I went there the second time,
she referred me as "Sang Min".
She said I was her mom's "son".
- Did that make you sad? - It didn't make me sad.
That made you think that she's got someone.
I realized she was being careful.
- That means she has someone. - Right.
That made me become careful.
- I... - We can be sure about one thing.
I am sure Yun Hwa has a boyfriend.
(He's very certain.)
I am certain that she's seeing someone.
- I'm 100 percent sure. - We are just close friends.
(And we are getting married soon.)
- Right, I think... - I will tell you my gut feeling.
I think they are both lying.
- They both are lying. - They are lying.
- Why? - What do you mean?
- Is he a detective? - Are they both lying?
They are both lying. They like each other.
That's what I mean.
- That's what I mean. - That's what you mean, right?
- The important thing is... - I think...
nobody's instincts are better than ours.
- Right. - He's the great detective.
From hearing what Sayuri said,
I can tell that she's thoroughly guarding her heart.
- She's guarding... - There is no fence though.
I can see the fence.
- What's the color? - What?
What's the color of the fence?
(He's proud of her.)
Whenever Sayuri says something,
Sang Min smiles really big.
I think he does like me.
We got on the plane together.
I told him to drink 1 glass of beer, but he had 2 glasses.
- You nagged at him? - Did it bother you?
When he drinks two glasses, his face turns red.
So I told him to drink 1 glass, but he drank 2 glasses.
What's going on?
- Why did you drink 2 glasses? - Why did you drink 2 glasses?
- I told him twice. - Tell us the truth now.
- No. - Why didn't you listen to Sayuri?
- Why didn't you listen to me? - Why did you annoy her?
Sang Min, Jang Hoon is all alone now.
That's not it.
I...
Yun Hwa, did your boyfriend propose to you?
- I... - Did Min Gi propose to you?
He kept asking me to marry him.
But he didn't officially propose.
- He didn't propose yet? - Not yet. I want to propose to him.
- What would you say? - I don't know.
- What should I do? - Man Gi is known for his proposal.
Your marriage was...
- all over the news. - It was a big hit.
There were a lot of magazines at the time.
- Yes. - Right.
Weekly magazines.
There were weekly and daily magazines.
When the news got out,
it was on all of the magazines.
When I was getting married, I bought my wife a house.
I had been earning since second year in college.
At the time, when you become a champion,
you got a cash prize of 15,000 dollars.
- At that time? - It was 1983.
How much was an apartment flat at the time?
How much was a flat?
It was called "Samik Mansion".
The word "mansion" was first introduced that time.
It was 115m².
A flat in Seoul at the time cost 30,000 dollars.
(No way.)
I got paid 60,000 dollars...
(He got paid 60,000 dollars for commercials.)
for the commercials I did.
So I earned more than 100,000 dollars a year.
- He was rich. - Where did that money go?
- What? - Where did that money go?
- Where did it go? - Yes.
Did you have to ask? It's a heartbreaking story.
(He forces himself to laugh.)
I didn't know he joined the election.
It's not like we pushed him to join the election.
We are going to have an election next year.
- Do you want to... - We...
- go for a PE class leader? - It's a class president election.
You should win a position here first.
Look there. The PE class leader position is still vacant.
If you have time...
(PE Class Leader Lee Man Gi)
- Why don't you... - You...
- He's flustered. - You might not know but...
Kyung Hoon and Hee Chul...
We were talking about marriage proposal and...
You did this.
He didn't know about the election.
So I prepared a house. I will teach you how to propose.
I gave her a key to the apartment and said it was our house.
- You gave her a house key. - I already bought...
all the appliances and furniture.
- Even the bed. - Everything.
- I bought everything. - She only had to move in.
- "Just move in." - It'd be funny if she refuses.
"You just have to fill my heart."
Right.
You must've done it a lot.
(Has he done it a lot?)
We like those expressions.
(He's dizzy.)
I was going to say that he's great.
The house was ready, so she just had to move in.
That's a nice thing to say.
Listening to your story, Yoon Hwa seems to...
be getting puzzled.
- Why? - Right?
We already bought a house.
We got a house near Mangwon Market,
near all the good restaurants.
Near all the good restaurants.
- Not near the subway. - Near the good restaurants.
There are a lot of driver restaurants, and there's a market.
Mangwon Market is amazing.
There are too many things to eat there.
From start to end, it's incredible.
There are a lot of good restaurants in that market.
You said you are going to lose weight.
You should move away from the good restaurants.
But on cheating days, I need to enjoy it to the fullest.
How much weight did you lose?
- How much weight? - Yes.
I measured it today.
As of today, I've lost 27kg.
I actually became small, didn't I?
Do you want to see when I was...
- How do we see it? - the biggest?
- I don't remember it. - Can you bring it up here?
- Is this... - This is how I was.
He lost 30kg.
Her face got much smaller.
Her face became a lot smaller.
She looks like a game character.
Are you losing weight for your wedding?
That's one reason. It's mostly for my health.
I got my dress made with an assumption that I would...
lose 10kg more.
Did you already get the dress made?
I did. It will arrive next week.
- It's coming from the US. - What if you don't lose...
the weight until the day of the wedding? You can't wear it.
I will get married in this outfit then.
(She will get married in the school uniform.)
You will get married in Knowing Brothers uniform.
- I'll wear this then. - She's really determined.
- Your wedding is soon. - Yes.
Since you are here, show us the funny thing you do...
- on "Comedy Big League". - The mom.
"Who Are Your Parents"?
(It's a sketch Yoon Hwa does.)
(She looks very shy.)
Mom.
(She changes when her ugly son comes out.)
I need someone to play my son.
- Will you be my son? - Yeong Cheol is good at it.
- You want me to do it? - He's frustrating,
and he's weak.
Hello.
I am Yeong Cheol's Mom, Hong Yun Hwa,
who is always elegant and studious.
Yeong Cheol is really good, isn't he? Isn't he fun?
Stop it, Mom. I'm not funny here.
Gosh, boy. If I say you are funny, you can just say you are funny.
He always tells everyone that he's not funny.
You are comedian.
How can speaking English be the best thing you do?
You go to the shoot of Knowing Brothers,
so why aren't you on TV?
What is she saying?
You're just laughing away because you think it's funny.
Are you having fun?
- My gosh. - Am I supposed to get bullied?
That's how it goes.
- You're good. - She's good.
- Thank you. - Yes. Thank you.
- She was so frank. - Since you are here,
why don't you show us all your impersonations?
- Show us. - My impersonations?
- Yes. - Please impersonate Lee Hye Jung.
- Lee Hye Jung. - Show us everything.
Many people like it when I impersonate Ms. Lee.
Today, I am on Knowing Brothers.
Being on Knowing Brothers...
is great fun. Yes. Yes.
- Yes. Yes. - It's really popular.
It's her signature impersonation.
There's a new impersonation I do.
I will impersonate Jung In.
Jung In.
(I will let him go)
(Their jaws drop.)
(To me love is)
She sings well.
(She strains her face.)
(Love is)
She's good.
- She's good. - Don't I sound like her?
I can impersonate Kim Jang Hoon too.
(She does another one.)
(Thousand and 10 thousand times)
Perhaps I shouldn't have done it.
- Anything else? - Previously,
I disguised as Hye Jung.
And many people liked it.
I thought I would disguise as someone else today.
I prepared the makeup. Do you want to see it?
- Yes, please. - Yes.
It took me 10 seconds to disguise as Hye Jung.
This will take just five seconds.
In five seconds...
This is "Tap tap".
- One you tap on your head. - I know that.
- One you tap on your head. - That's right.
You used to spray a lot of it on, right?
- I didn't spray it. - If you sprayed it on,
just be honest and tell us. Don't be lying.
- Why is she like that to me? - I'm sorry.
- I didn't do it. - My behavior alternates.
- Gosh. - That's so funny.
- I'm sorry. - She's so funny.
What is this? I don't want to play her son.
- The son is the main character. - Am I the main character?
No one talks to you if I don't do this to you.
That's right. Mom, you're the best.
This is the most attention I got ever.
So this is the "Tap tap". It's easy to use.
You don't have to look in the mirror and just tap it on.
- My goodness. - So?
- And now what? - After this...
- And now what? - This is it.
Don't I look like him if I do this?
(Don't I look like him if I do this?)
- This is amazing. - I can't believe it.
It's like a decalcomania.
(It's easy to become Ko Chang Seok, right?)
I like this tip.
- Good job. - That's amazing.
- Yun Hwa. - That's amazing.
I even saw Ko Chang Seok on a crosswalk.
It was our first time meeting.
When we saw each other, we were like this.
Mom, you're so funny.
- Really? - You're the funniest.
You should be the one who makes people laugh.
Move out. I'll sit there from now on.
Young Cheol should be funny.
People who turned the TV on right now would think Yun Hwa has a beard.
I'm like this when I wake up in the morning though.
(I'm like this when I wake up in the morning.)
It's hard to put it on without looking.
- That's right. - Yes.
- Give us your enrollment form. - Give us your EF.
You should give it to them.
Don't go to him.
- Everyone, stand up. - Stand up.
He's the first ssireum entertainer.
- He's a ssireum entertainer. - He's a ssireum entertainer.
- He's a ssireum entertainer. - How dare you say that?
- What? - Isn't it right?
I thought you were swearing.
I mean that you are a ssireum player turned into an entertainer.
- Are you also acting up? - That's why.
I mean that you are a ssireum player turned into an entertainer.
That's what I mean.
Be careful with your pronunciation.
You should act up more.
I'll give that responsibility to you.
He's better than you.
- What? - I think I don't like you.
Why are you like this suddenly?
You acted up from the start.
It's my concept to call you "Man Gi".
I called you Man Gi because you're Man Gi. What should I call you then?
If he says something to you, just say that you're sorry.
You're defying me until the end.
If he punches you, all of your front teeth will get knocked out.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sir.
I'm sorry. Gosh.
Why are you acting up in front of Man Gi?
Man Gi, I'm sorry.
He doesn't know when he should act up and when not to.
- I'm sorry. - Mom, I'm sorry.
- This is your enrollment form. - What is his name?
- It's Lee Man Gi. - Gosh.
- Hong Yun Hwa. - Gosh.
This is Sayuri's full name.
- Fujita Sayuri. - Fujita Sayuri.
Doesn't "Man Gi" sound like a name fit for a strong man?
- That's right. - It's a name for a strong man.
- He's full of energy. - He feels full of energy.
My parents said they wouldn't have any more children,
so they named me "Man Gi".
- So that's why. - Yes.
- It means that I'm the last. - It's "Man Gi".
Are you the youngest?
- I'm the youngest. - Gosh.
Are all strong men the youngest in their family?
- That's right. - I know a lot of behind stories.
- It doesn't suit him. - Yes.
His brother transferred his school to Masan...
without discussing it with his parents.
- He transferred my school. - To another city?
My brother's son was born one month earlier than I did.
- He's your nephew. - He was born one month earlier.
My brother was trying to transfer his son to Masan.
He was the same age as I was.
So he felt bad about it.
My father said, "Leave Man Gi alone."
- "Man Gi will farm here." - Like that.
"Who will help us farm when we get old?"
My brother went to the town office...
- and transferred me to Masan. - He made you transfer.
So I started from Masan and reached this place.
Your brother was amazing.
Your brother made you the person who you are right now.
We'll move on to nicknames.
Lee Man Gi's nickname is "Cow Lee Man Gi".
- Cow Lee Man Gi. - He's on the show "Jagiya".
- His mother-in-law... - His in-laws are on the show.
always makes him work.
So it means that he works like a cow whenever he goes to her house.
- That's why it's Cow Man Gi. - Cow Man Gi.
Doesn't it mean, "Is this dumpling soup the small size one?
They have good chemistry.
They really have good chemistry.
His mother-in-law is so adorable...
- That's right. - They get along with each other.
You must be jealous.
What?
(Gosh.)
Why am I talking about this?
- You were so excited. - Can't Man Gi...
talk about this?
Do you know that you're the one who talks about families the most?
That's not...
- what you should talk about. - You do the most talk about it.
All of the shows are like that these days.
- You really have to work. - That's right.
Someone can't help you while working in the field. I have to do it.
It was too hard.
One day...
It really must be hard.
- I can feel it from his face. - It really must be hard.
I was never so exhausted like that while doing a show.
Was it harder than ssireum?
It was harder than ssireum. I was really exhausted.
She wanted me to pave the road one day.
Did she ask you to pave the road?
- Why? - It's cheap to use him.
She said people will fall down because of the stones.
"Man Gi, do I have to get hurt?"
She asked me to pave the road.
The writers were also strange.
They said, "Cement is better these days."
- "You just have to pour water." - It's ridiculous.
- That's what they said. - He really did it. I saw it.
So I tried paving the road.
You really just have to pour water.
But you have to mix all of it like the old days.
Do you know how many bags I used?
I used 40 bags.
- By yourself? - I mixed 40 bags by myself.
- I did it myself. - He's about to cry.
- I did it all by myself. - He's about to cry.
- Don't cry. - Don't cry.
Cow Lee Man Gi.
I was completely exhausted when I came back home.
He poured cement on the road, but all of the elders in that...
neighborhood stomped on it on their way to somewhere.
They stomped on it.
It was on the show.
He's really good at doing it.
(He starts working during the smoldering heat wave.)
Why don't you start a business doing that?
(He does his best.)
That's enough to be a professional.
It became a new road.
- What is this? - Why?
(Clear footsteps)
Who went in here? Didn't you see the warning?
He said, "Who went in here.".
(He worked on it enough to be completely exhausted.)
You worked so hard for it.
While watching the show,
I saw that not only his mother-in-law,
but also the other elders in the neighborhood...
make him do all the work.
Yun Hwa's nickname is elephant seal.
- It's elephant seal. - What does that mean?
- There are elephant seals. - Elephant seals.
I was swimming in the water and doing the butterfly.
A lady in front of me made that nickname for me.
She said I looked like an elephant seal.
When I came outside the water, she told me this.
She told me to not wear black swimming suits and avoid it.
- She told me to wear pink or... - Neon colors.
- neon colors. - A black thing came out the water.
She recommended colors that you can't find from the sea.
Sayuri's nickname is Yurijjang.
Everyone thinks that my last name is "Sa".
- They think my last name is "Sa". - Last name "Sa" and Yuri.
So when I go to the hospital, they always call me Ms. Yuri.
- That's convenient to call. - Yes.
Only close friends call me Yurijjang.
Only close male friends call me Yuri.
Strangely, Sang Min started to call me Yuri from some time ago.
Why?
You're Yuri, so I'm calling you Yuri.
- That's cool. - Why?
Only people who like her call her Yuri.
- It means they're close. - Is this a signal?
Send a signal
Go to Sayuri's house and pave the road with cement.
- Do that for her. - Gosh.
- Sang Min - Go and meet her parents.
- let's see you on "Jagiya". - Okay.
Let's hear their goals today.
They wrote a lot of goals here.
What is, "Why did you bite me so late?"
- What is this? - Invite?
Why did you invite me so late?
He's asking why he was invited just now.
I saw Knowing Brothers...
a lot.
It was time for Ho Dong to invite me.
(Oh, my.)
Ho Dong isn't the one who casts people on this show.
Why don't you be quiet?
- Gosh. - Okay.
Did I ask you?
Okay.
- Since Ho Dong is here, - Yes.
just invite me quickly.
Don't you have another program that you do?
How many programs do you do?
(He's joking.)
- Please don't pay attention to me. - Why?
- Why can't you answer? - Answer how many programs you do.
Professor, you're busy training juniors.
- Yes. - I have a question.
People all call you professor.
Are you a professor right now?
Why do they call you processor?
- He's teaching... - He's a professor.
classes.
What kind of classes?
My major is exercise physiology.
- Exercise physiology. - Exercise physiology.
It's been several dozen years since he started teaching.
- Really? - It's been really long.
It's a habit for us now to call him professor.
- He's a professor. - Didn't you know that?
Didn't you call me a ssireum entertainer?
Ssireum entertainer.
- Ssireum entertainer. - Ssireum entertainer.
There's a program called "The Stranger".
Why don't we do a program called "Ssireum Entertainer" here in JTBC?
- Okay. - That sounds nice.
Man Gi's strong point is his dialect.
(Strong point, dialect)
Do you know how to use every dialect in Korea...
or just the Gyeongsang Province dialect?
I went to a lot of ssireum competitions...
to Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province.
They all have different dialects.
- For each province. - Every province is different.
- Really? - If you go to Jinju,
they use suffixes like "ne" in their sentences.
Where are you going?
- "Where are you going?" - What is wrong?
Did you eat?
Changwon and Masan use a lot of "Gguh".
Where are you going? What is wrong?
- That's right. - Did you eat?
Gimcheon uses a lot of "Ggyuh".
Is that right?
Is that wrong?
(Everyone is amazed.)
Daegu adds "ye".
They say things like "No, I'm fine. it's okay."
Busan uses a lot of "da".
"That's right. That's wrong."
Even if they're from the same Gyeongsang Province,
- they're all different. - That's right.
- I never knew this. - It's amazing.
- Did you eat? - Ulsan...
"Where are you going?"
In Chilgok, Gyeongsang Province,
they use "yo."
- "Yo?" - "Yo?"
- Really? - "Hey."
"What are you doing?"
"Did you eat?"
I met a senior from Chilgok in Masan.
"Hey. What are you doing?"
"Did you eat?"
- What happens if we say that? - We'd be in trouble.
- We get in trouble, right? - Yes.
So he got beat so much.
He's speaking honorific by using yo,
but to us, yo wasn't honorific,
but you use it when you disrespect someone.
- "What are you doing?" - "What are you doing?"
- "What are you doing?" - When you're being disrespectful.
Then do you have to use two "yo" when you use honorific?
- What? - Do you have to use two "yo"?
- "What are you doing yo?" - Yes.
Are they putting on a show now?
"What are you doing yo?"
They get along pretty well.
Gosh.
"Come and eat yo."
You two will start a show soon together.
(That match threatens Ssireum Entertainer.)
- My goodness. - They can do a show.
- Yun Hwa's advantage is onion. - Onion.
- Onion? - Onion?
You're appealing endlessly?
I'm actually very good at slicing onions.
I'm good at slicing onions using a Chinese knife.
I can slice onions nicely without any laughter.
But your mustache...
- Your mustache... - It's already funny.
- Onions? - Yes.
She shouldn't make it funny.
Bring me some onions, buddy.
Where did she learn it?
- Didn't you do a drama? - Yun Hwa.
The staff isn't a friend.
- Really? Thank you. - Yes.
She wasn't using honorific before.
It's going to make us cry.
- I will... - How did you get tall suddenly?
(Appropriate height for slicing)
I learned how to use the knife...
from a Chinese chef.
I learned how to spin the knife...
from a Nanta team.
- You spin the knife? - For the drama.
You'll get hurt.
I can slap and spin the knife.
- I spin the Chinese knife. - Be careful.
(Please do not follow.)
They're very funny.
- Here we go. - They're very funny together.
- You see... - The knife looks good.
(Thumping)
(Fast and accurate slice)
(Surprised)
(Exclaiming)
(Thumping)
(Spinning)
(Perfect knife skill and performance)
It looks like a Nanta show.
- It's like watching a Nanta show. - Isn't it amazing?
That's amazing.
I can also look away.
- Be careful. - You don't need to look?
(Please do not follow.)
(Splendid knife skill)
It looks like a mom cooking.
(She always finishes by spinning the knife.)
That's wonderful.
- Don't follow it. - Of course not.
- Isn't it wonderful? - That's wonderful.
- She's talented. - She was in a drama recently.
- Yes. - As a chef.
- In a drama... - You must have practiced so much.
I had to practice so much.
I practiced even in sleep.
My wrist must get used to it.
(It was wonderful.)
It looks like Sayuri has come up with something amazing.
It says in her resolution.
"Don't be surprised by my new talent."
Today, Sayuri prepared...
- a trick. - I have a trick.
I'm sure only me and Kim Byung Man...
can do it among celebrities.
- Then Soo Geun might try it too. - Getting coconuts?
She means she's in the master level.
Soo Geun is jealous of Byung Man.
- Soo Geun will have to try. - I think I know what it is.
Is she talking about the one that Byung Man practiced so much?
(Riding a unicycle)
Watch.
- What is that? - A unicycle.
- Don't you need help at first? - Don't you need help at first?
Someone needs to hold her hand at first.
I'm sure Byung Man can ride it alone now.
- He used to practice so much. - Can you do it?
(It looks nervous for some reason.)
It hurts when you fall.
(Off she goes.)
(Is she reciting a spell?)
Be careful.
(Getting up)
No, I'm okay.
You don't look okay.
- We are not okay. - Hey, Sang Min.
You were the first to run to her.
- Sang Min was the 1st to run. - Her husband runs to her 1st.
(In case Sayuri gets hurt...)
(Off she goes again.)
- She is good, but... - I know.
She is good, but...
(Risky)
(Thump)
(Entertaining finish)
That's...
That's what she was trying to do.
(Acting innocent)
(Ssireum entertainer is satisfied.)
Is it okay today, sir?
No one else can do it.
- Welcome to the school! - Welcome!
Thank you.
(Brother School)
- Let's guess Sayuri. - I'll tell you where to sit.
You've all chosen your partners.
Professor Man Gi chose Ho Dong because...
It's accurate. "He's my underling."
- He wrote underling. - "Underling."
Yun Hwa chose Jang Hoon.
- Yun Hwa. - Why did you choose Jang Hoon?
She wrote Ho Dong at first, then changed to Jang Hoon.
- Why? - Why?
- Jang Hoon and... - I wrote "Ho Dong or Jang Hoon."
My, that's "or"?
It's "or".
- I read it wrong too. - I thought this meant no.
- What do you think? - That looks like no to me.
(That looks like no to me.)
- How about Sayuri? - She chose Sang Min obviously.
- Of course. - Sayuri.
Can I ask you a question?
Did you run into the wall on purpose?
It was real.
The hardest part is...
getting on and getting off.
It was very hard.
How much did you practice?
- To be at that level. - Three days.
Three days?
- I practiced for three days. - She picked up pretty fast.
Since you started already, you should try...
riding on a rope between the twin towers.
You do it.
- You do it first. - I can't ride it.
- There's a movie too. - Wasn't it simple?
It'll be faster if you do it.
- Give us the question. - Let's start.
My family was once very startled...
because of my grandfather.
We were flustered.
What do you think it was about?
You got home from a company dinner,
and your grandfather scared your family behind the door.
- That was close. - What?
- You're getting there. - Really?
He scared the family.
Grandfather said he was actually your grandmother.
- That's close. - It's close?
- It was a very bright idea. - Really?
It was something he said just before he passed away.
- What? He passed away? - He passed away?
- He said it already. - How do you expect us to answer it?
Just before he passed away,
he gathered everyone and said,
"I'm going to donate..."
"all my fortune to the society."
So his children were startled.
It's not that long.
It's just one word.
- Which side is he from? - Mother's side.
- From mother's side. - From mother's side.
My grandfather, my mom, and I...
are alike.
It's not ordinary, is it?
It's not ordinary,
but my grandfather is very playful.
He said "The end" in Japanese.
(He said "The end" in Japanese.)
No.
Her grandfather is actually very funny.
He could have made them laugh...
- until the end. - Yes.
- He was a funny person? - He's just like me.
He said this before he passed away.
"Pop."
(Embarrassed)
- He joked until the last minute? - Yes, he did.
Now that I think of it, it may not have been a joke.
You never know.
The second hint.
The whole family was confused upon hearing it.
- I got it. - Yes.
Before he passed away, he told your mother,
"You're actually..."
"not my real daughter." Then he passed away.
No, but that's how startling it was.
"I'm actually..."
"I'm actually Korean."
- That's very close. - Really?
- You're getting there. - "I'm actually Korean-Japanese."
No, Korean.
- No. - I got it.
- Yes? - "I'm actually an alien."
No. You went too far.
"I'm actually Chinese."
- You got it. - Right?
- Really? - Is that correct?
"The last thing I want to say is..."
"that I'm actually Chinese." Then he passed away.
I don't know if that's true or not.
We were like, "What?"
- What? - We were like, "What?"
My grandfather's name was Tatsuo.
He used to lie a lot.
So his nickname was "Guratatsu."
His nickname was Guratatsu?
The whole neighborhood called him Guratatsu.
I still don't know whether that's true or not.
You don't know if he was really Chinese or not?
- I really don't know. - Why would he joke about that?
His last word was...
- "I'm Chinese?" - Yes.
- Guratatsu. - "Guratatsu."
He must've been very desperate to say that in his whole life.
If he was only making a joke...
to make them funny,
- he was very amazing, right? - Yes.
Even until the last minute,
- he tried to make his family laugh. - What other jokes did he make?
- He made the family happy. - My grandfather...
In my parents' wedding before I was born,
he disappeared in middle of the wedding.
No one could find him.
He was pouring drinks in uniform.
(He was pouring drinks.)
Goodness.
So all my father's family was surprised.
He was pouring wine for them.
He was very playful.
- I know. - Yes.
Next question.
It seems Sang Min has changed recently.
Sang Min?
Why do you think I get that from?
Is he keeping distance from you or close?
Keeping distance.
- Keeping distance? - He's totally keeping distance.
He used to say that he liked you,
then suddenly he stopped contacting you...
and dates Korean-American.
- That's close. - Is it?
- You're getting there. - Don't make it up.
He used to put a heart at the end of the sentence,
but he doesn't do that anymore.
He has never done that from the beginning.
That's what disappoints you...
because when you're on a show,
he was very nice to you even for the show,
but once the show ends, it's all about business.
- That's right. - So even if you contact him,
he reads but doesn't respond.
- That's right. - That makes sense.
- For instance. - He reads but doesn't respond.
He only reads.
- Oh, you even know that word? - "Reads."
- "Reads." - You know more than I do.
He only reads.
When you text him, there's one.
- That doesn't disappear. - He doesn't read at all.
So you were upset.
You're getting there.
He doesn't even read. For how long?
- 100 days. - No.
- A month. - 2 weeks. No, 2 months.
- Yes. - Two months.
- Two months. - Why?
2 months is 60 days.
The funny thing is, if he's scheduled for a shooting with me,
he suddenly reads it the day before.
- Come on. - Come on.
That's not nice.
- That's not nice. - That's not typical of Sang Min.
Because we take pictures together while shooting,
and I send them to him.
I just say "Good job today, Sang Min,"
- but he doesn't read it. - She's accurate.
Sayuri exaggerated it. Let me explain.
I don't check the messenger when I'm in Korea.
Because if I check the messenger in Korea,
I must respond, then I'll get more messages,
then I must think about the next respond.
- That's... - That's stressful. Right.
I have more than 1,000 numbers.
People text me so much now.
I can't respond to every one of them,
so I decided not to respond to any of them.
I only check the messenger...
when I'm shooting abroad.
When I check the messenger abroad, I have more than 1,000 messages.
I can show you now.
I have 900 now. I'll show you.
- It's a problem. - Look. How many do I have?
It says 999 plus.
He really has 999 plus.
I have 999 plus.
(He really has over 1,000 messages.)
I just don't check the messenger.
- Then why did you download it? - Then why did you download it?
- I downloaded it... - Get rid of it.
because I can call for free abroad.
When I have nothing to do abroad, I check the messages.
Then when I check Sayuri's message.
He checks it when he has nothing to do.
- That's harsh. - That's harsh.
I'm just saying.
I always tell Sayuri to text me instead.
- He checks texts. - I tell her to text me.
I think he started it since he got a Korean-American girlfriend.
That's right.
- I'm sure. - How funny is she?
Is that why she's "Korean-American?"
Let's address this, Sayuri.
The message you sent me...
was solely business.
See? Look at this.
- Why are you acting sensitive? - Watch.
- "Good job." - Yes.
- Sang Min did respond. - She sent photos.
That was a bit late.
"I went to Busan right away. Good job, Sayuri."
Messages she sends me are...
only photos and saying good job.
See if there's anything else.
- Only photos... - What's this?
"Don't tell anyone about the relationship."
What?
(What is he talking about?)
- He was disappointed. - Were you?
- "Sang Min." - There's nothing.
- She's just saying good job. - "Sang Min."
You don't say anything about "You're mine."
- Are you upset? - That's why.
- Are you upset? - He's upset.
- It's too business. - Yes.
- It's all good job and photos. - Really?
Then what's your real ideal type?
I have one. Lee Bong Won.
- What? - Who?
I like Lee Bong Won.
When we had a shooting before,
he was very kind and innocent.
His appearance is not my type,
but he's very thoughtful.
He roasted meat for every staff.
I fell in for that.
So I told Mi Sun...
that her husband is a very nice person.
She said I don't know until I live with him.
Now, Lee Bong Won versus Lee Sang Min.
1, 2, 3.
Since Bong Won's married, I say Sang Min.
Why did you talk about Bong Won then?
Why did you bring Bong Won up?
- That was fun. - Let's move on.
Sayuri. The story of your grandfather was very funny.
- Really? - It was very funny.
It seems your family is alike.
I heard Yun Hwa's family is also funny.
- Her mother is funny. - My mother is...
witty.
My mom used to own a hair salon.
One time, a customer told my mom,
"Your daughter was this big at first,"
"but now she's this big on TV."
"Your daughter is getting bigger."
My mom didn't want to lose, so she said,
"TV is getting bigger."
- She's cute. - She said I'm getting bigger...
since TV is getting bigger.
That's right.
That's not exactly wrong.
(Her mother responded wittily.)
Now...
There's something I do when it snows for the first time.
I got it. You eat the first snow.
I got it. When it snows for the first time,
you make snow big like a snowman,
- and eat it. - Come on.
You make shaved ice with red bean you have at home.
No. Man Gi. No.
- That was 3 in a row. - 3 in a row.
That was 3 in a row.
Isn't it about eating?
It's not about eating.
When it snows for the first time, you just run outside smiling.
- You run out innocently. - Barefoot.
- Facing snow? - Barefoot.
- Yes, barefoot. - No.
From that day, I start something.
I think I know.
- Me too. - Yes.
Only hot people know.
Try if you think you know.
You should go first.
- You go first. - You go first.
- You go first, sir. - You go first.
- You go first. - Because...
since she said she likes eating,
you eat a lot to hibernate.
No. That's for animals.
- Hibernation. - Hibernation?
Man Gi. I need to work in winter.
- I think I know. - "Hibernation."
- I got it. Ho Dong. - I got it.
People with high body temperature...
take out long sleeves when it snows for the first time.
Correct.
Long sleeves.
Then do you wear short sleeves until it snows for the first time?
- Hold a ceremony. - Isn't it cold?
- No. - In front.
Just like in the past.
- Go scream. - Show us.
It's not hibernation.
(He's fooling around again.)
That's scary now.
Why do they look funny together?
He must've been three times louder than that before.
Yes. That must've been very scary.
It echoed in the whole gym.
After that, it made me say,
"Hey, stop fooling around."
He's swearing on TV.
Is he dramatizing?
(That scene is always funny.)
Also, his eyes didn't look like the way they do now.
His eyes sagged now.
- He was scary. - His eyes were like this before.
His eyes were like this before.
Yes, that's exactly right.
You take out long sleeves.
I put away the fan...
- then. - Until it snows,
- Short sleeves? - I only wear short sleeves.
- When you're home? - I only go with the flow.
I only wear them because people wear them.
I just go along with them.
- Really? - Soo Geun just mentioned it.
People with high body temperature put the fan away when it snows.
Now that I exercise,
I feel less hot.
What do you do for exercise?
I go to the gym. I do bare hand exercise.
I also go on the treadmill.
I exercise for two hours.
I was an athlete when I was young.
- What did you do? - I did many different kinds.
I learned taekwondo, ballet, and track.
Do you want to see something?
Because I did ballet when I was young,
- I can... - Don't do it now.
(Ballet pose)
You have a lot of muscles.
I can do this.
- She's very flexible. - That's cute.
(Elegant)
You were talking about the heat.
The wedding hall will be scorching.
There are lights, and the dress will feel uncomfortable.
So I booked it for November.
- That's amazing. - In case you sweat?
That's right.
Because in August and September,
no matter how much AC you turn on,
it's still hot when there's a crowd.
So that doesn't work. And in October, AC is off.
So it's slightly hot.
I was thinking December, but heaters will be on in December.
(December doesn't work because heaters will be on.)
So I'm going to have the wedding in November,
and if it's hot, the AC will be on,
but even if it's cold, the heater won't be on.
Who's going to be the host, and who's going to sing?
I haven't decided yet.
Does Japan have an officiant?
Maybe.
- Maybe? - What do you mean maybe?
- You've never been to one? - I've only been to a wedding once.
Only those who are invited can attend.
You can't go without an invitation.
It's better not to go because congratulatory money is expensive.
How much do they pay in Japan?
- What's the standard? - It's always...
either 300 or 500 dollars.
- You can't pay 200 dollars. - In Japanese currency?
30,000 yen or 50,000 yen.
- 30,000 yen or 50,000 yen. - 30,000 yen or 50,000 yen.
But they don't invite many people.
- They don't. - It seems...
they only invite the closest friends.
Did you have over a few thousand guests for your wedding?
I'm sure he had many reporters.
- At the time. - When I got married,
Hyun Chul sang in my wedding.
(Hyun Chul sang in Man Gi's wedding.)
(Put the name tag on my heart)
("Name Tag of Love" by Hyun Chul)
Shim Hyung Rae was the host.
- Goodness. - They were the best stars...
- of the period. - No groom.
(Singing)
Shall I get married or not?
Let's move on to the next question.
It's true that I started the diet to stay healthy.
But there's another reason that made me...
go on diet. What is it?
I got it. Your boyfriend gave you a piggyback.
Then he fell down and injured pretty bad.
That did happen, but that's not the answer.
That happened?
Yes. I saw something,
then I was shocked.
After seeing Shin Young.
- Shin Young? - No.
I knew that I was big,
but it made me realize how big I was.
I'm kind of...
- Did you see it? - afraid to say it.
- Why? - I want to say it.
- Why? - Say it.
But I'm afraid to say it.
- What? - She said it's about her body part.
I'm sorry, sir, but what are you thinking?
It has nothing to do with her body part.
- Body part... - What is that?
It's not about my body part, but my size.
Honestly, when I look in the mirror,
(The reason Man Gi goes on a diet?)
I sometimes think of going on a diet.
Love handle?
When I see my saggy belly fat.
- My saggy belly fat? No. - Yes.
- What did she see? - What did she see?
I think someone was next to her.
We need to guess who that was.
- I got it. - The musical actor.
The actor.
Hong Ji Min.
- Hong Ji Min. - After seeing Ji Min.
- No. - I got it.
It was after seeing Moon Se Yoon...
on "Comedy Big League".
It was a scene of Se Yoon and her together.
When she saw it on TV, they were same size.
That's close, but a little different.
The last five percent is a little different.
- I'm right about Se Yoon. - How did you get Se Yoon?
- Because... - That's amazing.
I remember she has a segment with him.
You were bigger than Moon Se Yoon.
Correct.
She was bigger than Se Yoon?
- Really? - Bigger?
We took a picture together,
and I was bigger than Se Yoon.
That's the photo.
(Here's the photo.)
When was it from?
That's just before I started the diet.
How long ago was it?
That's 27kg ago. About 6 months ago.
- It's not that long ago. - Early this year.
Now I can see that you lost a lot of weight now.
- She did. - She lost so much weight.
I couldn't even run in the mountains at the time.
- In case a hunter shoots me. - Kyung Seok's nose is still...
(In case a hunter shoots me.)
- Then are you still... - Where's that place?
- on a diet? - That's right.
I eat chicken breast and vegetables as much as I can.
I had a chance to realize something.
I recently went to Japan.
I got on the flight.
- I've never felt this before. - What?
The person sitting before me was bigger than me.
I used to expand the seat belt as much as I could before.
When I sat down,
the belt was big.
Amazing. I tightened it.
Do you wear different styles now?
- What do you mean? - Your style.
Oh, clothes?
Do you know 1, 2 and 3?
If there are small, medium and large for normal clothes,
for sizes beyond that,
- it's 1, 2 and 3. - What is that?
- It's the plus size. - Is size three the biggest?
Size three is the biggest.
There are size 1, 2 and 3.
When I meet Min Kyoung or Gook Ju,
"Oh, you're wearing size 1. Oh, you're wearing size 2."
- Really? - That's cute.
"You've lost some weight. You wear size one now."
I used to wear size 3.8.
Now, I wear size one.
I heard you were mistaken for Gook Ju.
When I go to a market,
ladies love me.
"I love you so much. I'm a big fan of yours."
"I cheer for you."
"Go, Kim Gook Ju." That's what they say.
- It's a different last name. - It's mixed up.
They say, "Go, Kim Gook Ju."
Is it a mix of Kim Min Kyoung and Lee Gook Ju?
The ladies in the markets are the funniest.
The ladies.
When I walk down the street,
they're like, "Oh, you're that girl."
- "Hong Yun Hwa." - "Yes."
"I'm a big fan of yours."
(Ladies' energetic support)
I'm not even joking.
- That's what they do. - I'm startled.
Are you hurt?
No.
Now, Man Gi.
- Let me start. - Yes.
When I was playing ssireum,
I was very disappointed because of this. Why is that?
When I was playing ssireum,
I was very disappointed because of this. Why is that?
I got it. Because you kept losing to Ho Dong.
Never mind.
He didn't keep losing.
- He doesn't look good. - He didn't keep losing.
- He didn't? - A few times.
It doesn't make sense that he was upset when he played ssireum.
No other players were better than him.
I'm sure nothing could possibly disappoint him.
I was very disappointed.
- I got it. - I got it.
If you were only 7 or 8cm taller,
you wouldn't have fallen down.
You were disappointed when you fell down because you were short.
Is that all you can imagine?
I got it.
- Is that all you got? - I got it.
- I'm sorry. - I got it.
- I'm sorry. - I apologize.
You had very precious...
hair.
(He has a good imagination.)
It's pretty long,
- but it's lucky hair. - Like hair on a wart.
One day, after the game,
- It's plucked. - that hair was gone.
(Lucky hair was gone.)
I became a jinx.
That hair was found...
between Ho Dong's teeth.
It was between his teeth.
Ho Dong bit it.
Why did you do that?
- I got it. - Yes.
You step on sand every day,
but you've never stepped on beach before.
You only trained. You were upset every time on a beach.
Before Ho Dong...
He was running with an oxygen tank on his back.
He didn't go in water.
When you had summer training,
did you play ssireum on beach?
I did for off season training.
Then did you wear an oxygen tank?
What for?
- He wore it. - He wore it.
Why did you wear the oxygen tank?
(Embarrassed)
I thought everyone does it.
- Maybe he faked it. - Right.
Even for a show...
I understand putting a tire on.
What if it was a broth tank instead of oxygen?
It looked like a broth tank.
Why would you wear it at a beach?
- You see... - It's seolleongtang.
"Seolleongtang."
He carried seolleongtang because he was the youngest.
- Back in the days, - He did everything as told.
It suddenly comes to my mind.
One of Man Gi's campaigns,
- he held a log. - Oh, yes.
- Yes, that's Gevral T. - That's Gevral T.
(Brothers found this campaign impressive.)
- That's Gevral T. - It must be from that period.
It was vitamin.
Don't stray.
- Give me the second hint. - Give more hint.
- Second hint. - Do you want a hint?
It happened because I was too good at ssireum.
- My goodness. - Because he was too good.
I got it. You had no more people to win.
- He won every time. - It became boring.
- No. - There was no match.
- I got it. - Since you were an athlete once...
It's jealousy.
Because you won so much,
all other athletes...
were jealous of you and gossiped about you.
They made rumors.
- That's disappointing. - That's why you were disappointed.
You won because you were good.
You were good about jealousy.
Is it from your experience?
Jealousy...
Many people who were...
jealous of me...
did not want to see me winning.
- I got it. I know for sure. - Okay.
You went to the ssireum court.
When you were about to start,
every audience in the hall...
Let's say it was Man Gi against Ho Dong.
"Ho Dong. Ho Dong."
Everyone cheered for the other player.
Is it from your experience?
Maybe.
- Is it from your experience? - Come on.
- Where are you going? - "Hyun Joo Yup."
I'm going to have a ceremony.
- Am I correct? - You're nowhere near it.
Really?
- You're nowhere near it. - Is it only my experience?
It wasn't the fans. It was from somewhere else.
- I got it. The referee... - Yes.
- Since you were on a roll... - Because he dominated it?
Let's say it was Lee Man Gi against Kang Ho Dong.
- I get it. - The referee was...
He was biased.
He favored the other player.
That happened before.
I pretty much lost if I fell together.
(I pretty much lost if I fell together.)
- Really? - That's not true.
Yes.
That's not true.
I'm totally on his side. I understand him so much.
- You do, right? - Ho Dong?
- He has no idea. - Ho Dong has no idea.
You don't know because you never reached my position.
It wasn't a foul, but I got a foul.
They never whistled for me.
You fouled too much.
- You should never do a foul. - You know nothing about basketball.
- What are you talking about? - I didn't.
- I never foul. - You frowned every day.
Is it something...
that only Man Gi and Jang Hoon know?
You will never know...
- how hard it was. - That's not right.
I got it. Because you won the championship so many times,
the singer didn't sing with effort.
Amazing championship
- That's disappointing? - Because he sang every day.
It's Lee Man Gi again.
- Lip sync. - Lip sync.
Every time you played ssireum, the rule changed.
That's possible.
- Because you won too much. - Wait.
The rule was changed unfavorable to you.
Same thing happened to me too.
Correct.
(Hee Chul is correct.)
You didn't know that, Ho Dong?
- He's not that influential. - I never reached that level.
Ho Dong must have won because the rule changed.
You got lucky.
The rule changed because of me.
- Why? - How?
At first, you had to sit down and then grab the satba.
They must have thought it was favorable for smaller people.
It changed to grabbing the satba before sitting down.
- For pro ssireum? - For a while.
Originally?
But I kept winning.
Since I'm left-handed...
We usually grab the leg satba first,
then we grabbed the waist satba. Then it got changed.
At one time, you had to grab the waist first...
and then the leg later.
- Because you're left-handed? - Because I'm left-handed.
(Man Gi was upset at the rules that were unfavorable to him.)
They wanted to make spring and autumn period for ssireum.
They didn't want me to dominate it alone.
So if I fell together, it was unfavorable to me.
I got kicked out once.
- Really? - Yes.
- I got kicked out once. - It's same as me.
- What? - What's the same?
- Did any basketball rules change? - I mean...
- foreign players... - Yes.
didn't come solely because of me,
but because I was matchless,
they brought foreign players. It's true.
- Foreign players? - Foreign players?
- For real? - Because...
they need many teams, but if there's a big gap,
games become boring.
They had to bring foreign players to make it even.
- It makes sense. - I'm not lying. It's the truth.
- Do you understand him, sir? - Of course I do.
There was one for Ho Dong too.
Ssireum players weren't allowed to scream after Ho Dong.
That's why Hong Man always did this.
(He danced techno quietly.)
(Thanks to Ho Dong the Techno Goliath was born.)
Ho Dong once got a nosebleed.
His nose bled.
I found it.
Why did your nose bleed while playing ssireum?
What on earth did you watch?
If we let go of the satba,
I thought we must stop,
- but the rule changed. - Again?
We could still attack even if we let go of the satba.
I wasn't prepared, then we ran into each other.
Then I got a nosebleed.
- You lost due to embarrassment. - Who were you up against?
I lost, but I didn't know my nose was bleeding.
You lose if you get a nosebleed.
(16th Ssireum Championship Quarterfinals in Daejeon)
(Screaming)
He's 18 years old.
Come on.
This is how daring Kang Ho Dong was.
(When both players let go of the satba...)
(Thump)
(He expresses his anger with his body.)
In this case, it becomes a problem.
But at the same time...
It was flustering, but it was an intense debut.
- You used that on me once before. - Yes.
- Right? - Yes.
Wait. Ho Dong.
Were you ever disappointed while playing ssireum?
I've never had...
any complaints to referees.
He won perfectly.
It means he won perfectly.
He only snitched to the referees.
Why did you always snitch to the referees?
- "Why." - Pardon?
Why did you always tell on the other players?
You told me to stop fooling around.
- He was startled. He was young. - Yes.
I don't know why I did that.
I don't remember it.
I thought if I didn't tell on you, I would lose.
"He's swearing."
[VIU Ver] E146 Knowing Brothers "Chuseok Special Part 1" "Lee Man Gi, Sayuri Fujita, Hong Yun Hwa" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
- "He's swearing." - "He's swearing."
(You cannot hear the beautiful memory without tears.)
- But... - My goodness.
Why is it so funny?
I was scared.
- If you look closely... - We won.
If you look closely, I'm spaced out for about two seconds.
(He's flustered for about 2 seconds.)
"Pardon?"
- You were like this. - That's right.
Did you apologize to him after?
After every game,
I always apologized to him.
- Did you accept his apology? - No.
- No? - No?
But once the game is over, you move on.
You can't take revenge on him.
- We're both players. - "Revenge."
It was ridiculous.
I was young. I thought I shouldn't give in...
to compete against Champion Lee Man Gi.
- That's right. - I think I tried...
everything I could to get there.
Lee Jun Hee and Hong Hyun Wook were to me...
what I was to Ho Dong.
They were...
- In the sky. - stars in the sky to me.
It was my wish to win...
at least one round against them.
It was my wish to beat them, and I did.
It wasn't the finals.
I didn't scream or anything.
I went crazy alone.
"I beat him."
The overwhelming emotions of beating him made my hands shake.
I still remember what my coach said after the game.
He said, "You can lose now".
"You just beat Lee Man Gi. Even if it's just one round."
That was amazing.
It wasn't about victory.
Winning one round is very hard in ssireum.
- But we're... - He was a perfect player.
all friends today.
Why do you keep calling him professor?
"Man Gi. Give me the next question."
You say it.
(Me?)
We're all friends, right?
- You see... - That's only fair.
We're all friends. Right, Man Gi?
(Laughing)
- We're all friends. - Be careful, Hee Chul.
We might not bump into each other on a show.
Here's the second question.
He moves on before we say it.
A few years ago, after I heard this,
I was furious.
What was it?
I got it. "Is that a wig?"
"Wig."
- "Is that a wig?" - People are sensitive about it.
Aren't they going to shoot a show together on JTBC?
I'm sure there will be.
- I bet. - "Champion Sayuri".
That's a good one. "Champion Sayuri".
Let's go together.
I heard it last year.
- Last year? - Last year?
You're back on TV again after a long time.
"Man Gi's back on TV because he's out of money."
- People do say that. - We hear that a lot.
- It's offensive. - That's...
common.
- It's worse than that? - It's worse?
When you were walking down the street, someone said,
"Hey, Lee Man Gi. How about ssireum with me?"
"You don't look that strong anymore."
I hear that a lot.
- Really? - People hit me,
"You can't beat me."
- People say that a lot. - Then what do you do?
- What do you do then? - Do you hit them for real?
But when someone does that,
you just say, "I'm not strong anymore."
Ho Dong says,
"Come here," and throws them away.
- Really? - You saw that yourself, right?
- Right? - I saw it with my own eyes.
Ho Dong isn't disciplined enough.
"Discipline."
If Ho Dong and Jang Hoon here this,
they would be just as mad as I was.
What is it?
- Athletes... - It's about sports.
What makes you upset, Jang Hoon?
People used to say this in the past.
"Hey. All athletes are ignorant."
Okay. That's right. That's the one.
- You're getting there. - Really?
- "What do you know?" - "He wouldn't know."
It's something like that, but what did I play?
- Ssireum player. - I was a ssireum player.
Think about it.
Come on. What takes you so long?
- Does it have to do with your body? - I gave you enough hints.
Why are you so undisciplined?
It's not about that. You look like idiots to me.
We just can't say it with our own mouths.
Just say it. I won't get mad at you.
Can I tell Yun Hwa and let Yun Hwa say it?
I just got a report.
"He only lift heavy things."
"He has nothing in his brain."
- It was from him. - No.
- It was from him. - Sang Min.
- Punch him. - What did you just say?
- That's not it. - "Lift only heavy things?"
- Listen. - Hey.
(Sang Min is wrong.)
You weren't close.
I got it.
"He's ignorant because he only played ssireum."
That's what he said before.
(That's what he said before.)
(Heavy)
You're not disciplined enough.
Brother. Man Gi, honey.
What do you mean "honey"?
"All in your head is sand."
(Yeong Cheol...)
- Just hit me. - Is he correct?
- Is it correct? - Correct.
Really?
- Who said that? - How could someone say that?
Who would say that?
Who said you only have sand in your head?
- It was the first time meeting him. - How could he say that?
Where? Who was he?
We were having a conversation,
and I told him about my dissertation to get my doctorate's degree.
When I said it,
he said, "You were..."
"smarter than I thought."
"I'm not smart at all."
"I thought you only had sand in your head until now."
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I'm serious.
I was at a loss for words.
- To me sand is... - It's something you love the most.
I love sand, and it gives me...
- stories I keep in my heart. - Yes.
It has the spirit of our country.
I believe I'm the successor of it.
But that's not how he saw it.
What did you do?
I'm sure he didn't know how furious I was.
When I was just over 40,
I got an offer for UFC.
They offered me one million dollars at the time.
I rejected it.
I didn't take it because...
why do you think he called me?
- You're a symbolic icon. - You're symbolic.
Because I'm symbolic,
I could be their marketing strategy.
But I thought if I fell down,
the spirit of our ancestors will fall down too.
- That's right. - That's wonderful.
Who could possibly refuse one million dollars?
What if it was two million?
"Two million."
Their conversation...
"Champion Sayuri".
(Champion Sayuri)
Perhaps it wasn't enough money for him to do it.
Two million dollars might have changed his mind.
(He could've been swayed.)
They get along so well.
Okay.
How about three million dollars?
I will go.
I think they make the perfect team.
I'm grateful to Ho Dong...
because he always talks about ssireum everywhere he goes.
I'm serious. Because...
Normally, it's very hard to say that you were an athlete with pride.
People usually want to hide it.
Ho Dong was a wonderful guy.
People hide it.
He always says he was a ssireum athlete on every show...
and has a pride in it.
Although he's younger than me, I highly respect him.
I give him a big hand.
(He's younger than me, but I respect him and give him a big hand.)
- Okay. - The third question.
There's something that disappointed me the most...
among what my wife said to me.
- Disappointed? - Were you never happy?
It's all about disappointments.
- He's always disappointed. - Is it a disappointment special?
The time your wife disappointed you?
Me. When you went home,
your wife said,
"You're only strong on the sand court. Gosh."
(Gosh)
You must meditate.
If you become angry, you lose.
Me.
After you ran for office,
you went home, and your wife says in her sleep,
"Honey. I didn't vote for you."
(It's the definition of despair.)
How disappointing.
Seriously.
- Only Kyung Hoon can think of it. - How disappointing.
Man Gi. Your answer won't be funnier than that.
Isn't that an answer?
That was respectful.
She said this the day before...
the meeting of...
- all ssireum champions. - How old were you?
- 30... - Mid-30s?
- Late 30s. - After he retired.
After I retired.
- Me. - Okay.
"Gosh. There he goes again to lose."
(Chuckling)
(Did I just hear that right?)
She only said it because she was upset.
Oh, "to lose."
- Oh, "to lose." - Really?
I thought she cursed.
- "To lose." - "To lose."
- You were close. - I was?
- Yes. - "Dear. What if you hurt yourself?"
- No. I was ill. - Right.
She was being sarcastic.
Me. "You never take me to hospital when I'm ill,"
"but you never miss anything about ssireum."
"Marry ssireum then."
- No. - What do you mean no?
(What do you mean no?)
- I'm sorry. - Me.
Yes, Sang Min.
"Look at you. You pretend to be sick because you're afraid of losing."
Right.
That was close.
If he's not going to place the first...
"You pretend to be ill to have porridge."
- No. - "Fooling around."
The answer was mentioned.
- "Are you faking it?" - No.
- Is it what I just said? - What did you say?
- Porridge? - Without the first place...
- "Are you pretending to be ill..." - You just heard it.
"in case you don't place the first?"
Correct.
Soo Geun pretty much gave it to you.
For the 100th ssireum tournament,
all former ssireum champions gathered...
for an extra round.
But the day before the contest,
I didn't feel good and went to the hospital.
I was told it was an appendicitis.
So I got it removed the next morning,
but I couldn't participate.
My wife said, "You are..."
- "only trying to avoid it." - It must be disappointing.
"There's prize money."
"Aren't you faking it?"
- How much was the prize money? - 10,000 dollars.
She was pretty much telling me to get the prize money.
That's what she was trying to say.
You had a surgery.
She should be worried about me.
(He's still disappointed.)
It was advertised in advance...
that all former champions including me will be there.
The gym was packed.
People were disappointed that I wasn't going to come out.
- It ruined the mood. - Yes.
(Lee Man Gi had an acute appendicitis.)
(Worried)
(He's watching TV in the hospital.)
So the producer visited me in the hospital...
- To the hospital. - with a camera.
- For real? - He filmed it for real...
and put it on air.
- To prove that it's real? - Otherwise, I'd be faking it.
- Or people would doubt it. - In case people...
would misunderstand.
(The champion is often disappointed.)
