(We've been waiting for a long time.)
(We've been singing his name even.)
(Zo In Sung is finally on Radio Star!)
(He's frozen, nervous, and shy from the beginning.)
(Radio Star isn't easy for Zo In Sung either!)
(Don't be too harsh on me, please!)
(Even his friend isn't that nice to him!)
(However, his backup appears!)
(He's so desperate that he goes too far.)
(Even there is internal conflict.)
(Their younger brother, the rising star of Asia, is here to help them.)
(The youngest boy's amazing support!)
(But something doesn't look quite right.)
(He's busy with his own business! People still don't know him well.)
I admit that.
(He's trying really hard raise awareness of him.)
(He'll be trending online tonight!)
(It's a rare opportunity he finally earned!)
(They are spilling it all out!)
("Without Armors" begins now.)
Gook Jin is from Gangwon Province.
(I don't look like a country boy anymore)
Now I became such an awesome man...
living with Susie in Bangbae-dong.
- He does live there. - So...
This is not why I wrote this song, but...
(Without my glasses)
- It looks so bad. - It feels so uncomfortable.
I still look fine without my glasses.
Don't you think I look like Zo In Sung?
It's the script. I didn't write this.
This is the scriptwriters' work.
I've never said anything like this before.
Well, I think you guys have similar frames.
If the script doesn't sound quite right, I come up with something.
Well done.
Isn't Radio Star the best variety show of MBC?
We've been around for 11 years. Followed by us,
(Without masks)
"King of Mask Singer" is also doing really well. It's been four years.
I'm in that show too.
(He's in both programs.)
Even before filming today, today's guests were trending.
Finally...
(Without veils)
Thanks for coming today. I feel unburdened finally!
Even if Zo In Sung, the top star, is here,
or someone who we've never seen before,
we always dig up charms of our guests.
We're high-end and kind music program,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Is there only one guest today?
You didn't even mention anything about other guests.
Don't you think that's rude?
Well...
They are really famous too.
- That's the reality. - Is that?
They have to accept the reality.
Let's do it one more time. Finally,
Zo In Sung is here! We've been calling for him for ages!
- He must be feeling pressure now. - I think...
Did you see Seong Woo? He's not even clapping properly.
We invited four people...
that we are not sure when we'll be able to invite them again.
("Without Armors")
Don't you think that's a bit too much?
This song's about 20 years old.
He came, we saw, we finally made him sit here.
He became the top youth star through "New Nonstop".
Crying with his fists, he's become the star of melodramas.
Films he's in are known for both its cinematic quality and popularity
It's already been 21 years since he made his debut.
- That's a long time. - He's Zo In Sung.
(Zo In Sung, the actor with 21 years of experience)
He's specialized for special crimes like murder and theft.
That managed him to become a rising star of Chungmuro.
He's now become an actor who can be anyone.
- He's amazing. - However,
he's still less famous than his younger brother, Bae Seong Jae.
Bae Seong Woo!
(Bae Seong Woo, the actor)
You might have thought he only makes a great villain.
However, whichever role he takes,
he instantly becomes that person.
He works hard like a cow, but people don't recognize...
who he is yet.
Park Byung Eun. I really like him.
It's his second time on Radio Star.
- Even though it's his second time, - Weren't you looking for...
- your management company? - I found one.
It's his second time to be here. How can he be still not famous?
- Seriously? - He's here and there often.
His death was so brutal in "Assassination".
He was walking the runway in the past.
However, he's now on movie screens.
It was only a little ago he went to school with Kang Nam.
After four years, he's here with In Sung.
He grew up so much. It's Nam Joo Hyuk!
- Welcome. - Hi!
- Thanks for coming. - Nice to see you all.
- Hi. - Hello.
- Byung Eun. - You're here.
It's nice to see you all.
In Sung, please say hello to our viewers.
You finally invited me, and I'm here.
You have to be honest about that.
We tried to invite you for a while. It's finally happening.
We've been trying to invite you for the past seven years.
We've never begged so much to cast someone.
It's worth it though.
- It's Zo In Sung. - What's wrong with begging?
He's only here because he needs something from us.
- No, that's not... - I'm here because of my interest.
- Hello, this is Zo In Sung. - Welcome.
(A big welcome)
- Bae Seong Woo? - Hello.
Hi.
It's my second time to be on Radio Star.
I'm even more nervous than last time.
It might be more difficult today. This is Bae Seong Woo.
I would love to pass the baton to...
other guests who are here for the first time.
- What are you on about? - I liked your jazz dance last time.
- Jazz dance. - Thank you.
(He danced all of a sudden even without any music.)
(Is he having a staring contest with the camera?)
(He wraps up with two turns!)
Weren't there a lot of memes after that?
I've been avoiding to see them.
You might want to make something new today.
Park Byung Eun, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
Like Seong Woo, it's my second time to be on Radio Star.
I was here for promoting "Assassination" last time.
It feels different...
to be here again.
I'm also happy to meet them again.
I'll enjoy as much as I can until we finish filming today.
Nam Joo Hyuk, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I'm shaking a lot now.
- He's really nervous. - Why are you like that?
I'm really nervous, but I'll try my best to enjoy my time here.
- I'm Nam Joo Hyuk. - He looks so different.
Zo In Sung is finally here.
How did it happen?
I kept thinking...
I want to be here at least once in my life...
- because I'm close to Tae Hyun. - That's right.
So Tae Hyun and I were talking about the mix of guests.
But somehow, things became convenient for us.
Tae Hyun set things up smoothly.
I heard you got really excited about coming to the station today.
It's actually my first time to be at Sangam MBC.
I went to Yeouido MBC...
- often before. - To shoot the sitcom?
That's why there are a lot of employees lining up.
Our production members look so different...
compared to the last time when Lee Kwang Gi was here.
They are all wearing makeup.
I don't get it.
- I think they went to the salon. - Don't do this.
We're feeling comfortable,
but they look so much more busier than other days today.
Not nice. You know what I mean.
(It's the effect of Zo In Sung.)
I heard Zo In Sung set up today's guests. What was the standard?
It must be the ones whom he feels easy.
- You guys did "The King" together. - Yes.
I invited people who I can treat roughly.
- I see. - Makes sense.
Isn't Park Sung Woong in it too though?
Yes, he is.
- Park Sung Woong? - He is...
- What about him? Is he easy? - He's difficult.
- Is he difficult for you? - For me, he is.
- You're talking nonsense. - He's not difficult at all.
I see.
He's so much nicer than me.
- Is he the same age as you? - Sung Woong must be older.
He keeps suggesting we are the same age.
- Does he? - Yes.
- If that's the case... - But I tell him...
not to be friends with who were born in 1973 then.
- You're strict about it. - Seong Woo.
But I don't want others to get confused with their ages and stuff.
- Actors are strict about it. - I heard that too.
Seong Woo, you don't like the combination of guests today.
Of course, he doesn't. There's no actress at all.
- Seol Hyun? - He doesn't understand...
why Seol Hyun is not here. Who's here instead of her?
- Me? - I think it's me.
It feels like I'm here instead of her. I'm sorry.
(He apologized all of a sudden.)
Who are in the movie other than Seol Hyun?
- Jung Eun Chae. - Jung Eun Chae.
I like her a lot too.
- Jung Heung Chae? - Not him.
She's not Im Kkeok Jeong.
How could you think Jung Eun Chae as him?
- Look at Byung Eun. - Goodness.
That was a quick reaction.
- It's his second time. - That's why he can do that.
For your information, Byung Eun's energy doesn't last for a long time.
So you have to get things out of him as soon as possible.
- He was like that last time too. - My biorhythm goes down like this.
(He's only strong at the beginning.)
By the way,
It's Joo Hyuk's first talk show experience today.
- The first ever? - Yes.
He looks too nervous. I can see it.
I understand you get nervous here.
But I heard you were even shaking your hands during the interview.
You were afraid of Radio Star a lot.
What makes you be that way?
It's because I don't know anything about talk shows.
- Because you have no experience. - Yes.
Oh, about talk shows.
You seem very familiar to us.
Last week when Stephanie Lee did his walking...
(Stephanie Lee copied Joo Hyuk's walking.)
Yes, she did that.
When he started talking, he is really funny.
In Sung, Seong Woo, and Byung Eun picked Joo Hyuk...
as the one that they are expecting the most today.
We are expecting a lot from you today.
He's really stable.
When we're out of energy, he comes up to make things work.
His physical ability is better than ours.
He has good pacing.
I don't think I'm quite there yet. You'll see soon.
His liver's still bright red.
- Fresh liver! - He's healthy.
- Fresh liver? - Fresh liver?
What are you on about?
He has a strong liver. He doesn't even drink.
Oh, he doesn't drink.
You don't drink.
- I drink a lot. - His eyes look cleaner than theirs.
In Sung must not drink much either, but you two in the middle...
- But Joo Hyuk is... - Excuse me,
who's not drinking much?
- In Sung? - He drinks the most.
His eyes look so bright. Is it because of alcohol?
I used some eyedrops earlier.
When Joo Hyuk met Tae Hyun first time, they drank together.
Didn't you cry then?
Yes, yes, I did.
He confessed things and...
I guess that's what he does when he's drunk.
I don't remember if anybody was crying though. I was drunk too.
He gets really excited when he's drunk.
Yes, he talks a bit nonsense.
- And Joo Hyuk cries. - I'm sure I was done...
when he was crying anyway.
(I must have been too drunk anyway.)
Seong Woo and Byung Eun,
when you were here last time,
you guys did so much better than we expected.
I heard you guys were being arrogant to In Sung...
about your Radio Star experience.
(They were being arrogant to In Sung.)
- How could I do that? - We both were arrogant.
We were doing it together.
What did you say?
I told him to feel comfortable and say anything he wants.
- You did really well last time. - Of course.
Byung Eun, did you find your management company after then?
- Didn't he find one? - It's C-Jes.
- Isn't that a really good one? - Choi Min Sik is there too.
- Choi Min Sik... - Really?
Didn't Jong Shin try to sign with you?
I guess.
- You can't even compete with them. - That's right.
They become famous after signing with C-Jes.
- Of course. - C-Jes is a good company.
We can't compare those two companies.
We drank after filming that day.
Yes, we drank makgeolli.
- But... - We drank a lot.
Did you try to sign him with just makgeolli?
- Goodness. - Really?
I thought I didn't have to spend too much.
It should have been whiskey.
You know what I mean, right?
Makgeolli wasn't enough at all.
I thought it would work.
- Really? - Right...
Could you actually tell...
Jong Shin wanted to sign you while filming by chance?
- Really? - We met...
- He just looked so attractive. - He suddenly asked...
"What are you doing after this, Byung Eun?"
- I said, "I'm going home." - Really?
Then he was like,
"Do you want to have makgeolli with me somewhere near?"
Makgeolli was... I just wanted to drink with him, to be honest.
Seriously, he can be really cold to people that he's not interested in.
I mean it.
He would say, "My company can't sign any more artists,"
"I can't decide things like this by myself." I've seen it often.
So it means he really wanted to sign you.
- He seemed nice! - But drinking is...
- I just wanted to drink. - Stop it.
So what happened?
- It was fun. - It was.
After that, we also had salted grilled mackerel...
- outside. - With soju.
We drank soju and makgeolli together.
We just drank on the street.
It was in the Hongdae area.
Who paid for that?
- Who paid? - Jong Shin did.
- So you ate and ran. - He did.
It was also with Park Hyuk Kwon and...
- Cho Dal Hwan. - That's right.
I guess they tried to set you guys up.
It's not that! We talked about life.
Did you not talk about work at all?
We didn't talk about it, did we?
He was sending me signals though.
(Winking)
"Sign."
- I was that interested. - So what?
But he didn't sign anyway.
- I didn't know you are calculating. - I recognized him a long time ago.
Then why didn't you sign?
That was because...
I guess the other company is better.
He does calculate a lot.
I'm sure he found out Jong Shin's company wasn't enough for him.
That's why.
That's how they make up my image.
That decision was about making his living.
- He had something. - I see.
We talked even after that too.
That's when he got over it.
It's not that!
- Makgeolli? - Yes, let's do it again.
In Sung has a lot of time these days.
He came to all of other guests' pre-filming interviews...
and stole questions for them.
I've never seen someone...
goes to other people's interviews and join.
I thought there was no reason to do the interview separately.
When Seong Woo was having his interview, it was my day off too.
He told me it was near my place.
So I went there to join him and finish my interview too.
But they said it's impossible.
Because they want to hear what you talk about others.
I think he was there to see if I was going to say something bad.
He could have been worried, I guess.
He was there to stop that!
- I'm very exhaustive. - He really is.
Don't you have a lot of time when you're done with a movie?
- Yes. - That's why...
you can go finishing...
- and work out. - That's right.
Is this the result?
He strictly works out.
- That's... - The master of self-management.
- Can you really call him like that? - It's because...
Three of us went to a dry sauna when we had a day off.
It was in the daytime.
We ran on treadmills together.
But I couldn't catch him up at all. It's impossible.
He runs at the speed level of 16.
- What? - Seriously?
- 16? - Fitness club...
- It's... - 16 sounds really amazing.
It must be really hard.
He must do it like the interval training too, right?
- I do. - It is the interval training.
- Interval? - It is.
I put it on the 18 or 16.
It's not about getting in shape.
It's to keep myself feel healthy.
It's to manage your health.
- That's right. - Some of my friends...
work out a lot for their kids...
after becoming parents at their late ages.
How about you, Seong Woo?
Well, since I don't have a kid,
it's to make a kid in case.
- Well, it's not true. - You don't want to get married.
It was a joke.
What are you talking about?
I didn't work in front of cameras when I was young.
- I was only on stage. - That's right.
So it didn't matter.
Even though my face was swollen, that was still fine.
He was such a lazy man before.
But after being in dramas,
- he became a sexy star. - What are you talking about?
Seriously, you do strictly manage yourself, don't you?
It's just for my health.
The reason he works out is...
to lift up his areolas.
- Areolas? - What are you talking about?
To life up...
- your areolas? - It must be positioning pretty low.
How do you do?
- But... - But I heard...
it goes lower when you work out.
- It goes lower? - Yes.
If you work out, it does.
I don't know though. Wouldn't it go higher?
You have to work out your upper chest.
Wouldn't it go higher like this?
While it goes up, areolas will slightly...
- comes down. - Stop making your hands like that.
- You can be arrested. - Goodness.
- Why am I talking like this? - Don't do this.
- That's not even... - I...
He always talks about areolas on talk shows.
- So... - What I heard is...
- it could go... - No!
(He tried to make it less obvious, but it was stopped by them again.)
He's explaining his own body parts though.
- so it goes lower. - When you work out?
I also heard that it doesn't protrude either.
But that's not the reason why I'm working out.
From now on,
I'll take care of my areolas really well.
In Sung,
you love variety shows as much as Tae Hyun does.
He must be watching a lot at home.
I heard you have separate schedules for watching variety shows.
I watch Radio Star,
"One Night Two Days", "Running Man",
and "Battle of Tongues".
Do you want to be on it sometime?
Me?
- Well, - That's...
we can set up any topics.
Why don't you announce your candidacy?
- That's... - As a part of your acting career...
I heard you always watch Radio Star on time.
- Thank you. - That's great.
Especially, he likes Gu Ra's black eye joke.
Really? I've done it a lot.
It's one of his basic jokes.
I do that joke a lot.
(Tae Hyun and Gu Ra's black eye joke was on Radio Star lately.)
It's the joke we do all the time too.
I realized it's fine to do that on TV programs thanks to him.
- Did you really like it that much? - Yes.
He's been talking about it a lot.
You haven't really been punched like that in your life.
Not that hard.
Have you got punched a little bit?
It wasn't about the money problem.
It was about how I felt.
Well, if it was about your feelings, that's fine.
- Of course, it was all right. - It's all about your heart.
- What? - I'm sorry.
(He apologized.)
(Laughing)
Oh, you know Go Jang Hwan who was here before...
- Have you watched that episode? - Yes.
Wasn't that a black eye situation for him?
Jang Hwan seemed to feel really sorry about it.
Watching him, we were like...
(Credit card employee asked if he knew any potential VIP customer.)
(Jang Hwan gave In Sung's number to him.)
(He doesn't know why he did that.)
He tried to apologize to you.
Have you spoken to him since?
I haven't talked to him on the phone.
Oh, I see.
It was heartbreaking for me too.
Jang Hwan gave him a bit of a black eye.
It was both of my eyes.
He didn't mean it in a bad way.
- That's right. - No, he didn't.
I asked the credit card company,
but they never told me about the person who gave them my information.
That made me more upset.
- And that was Jang Hwan! - I just didn't understand...
why they couldn't tell me.
After urging them for a while,
they told me it was Jang Hwan.
I was like, "Jang Hwan did that?"
(It was unexpected.)
You couldn't even come up with his name.
I never thought he would do that to me.
So I called Jang Hwan and asked, and Jang Hwan admitted it.
("Did you give my number to them?", "Yes.")
He said sorry, so I asked him why he did that.
I even asked what kind of relationship we were in.
Jang Hwan, if you're watching this,
you'll realize that In Sung isn't that angry at you anymore...
because he's casually talking about it at least.
It was what happened in the past.
But I guess you're not fully over it.
A little bit. It's not as bad as getting a black eye.
But it's still hurting a bit.
- Right. - Yes.
I think...
you must have changed your number after that.
You wouldn't let Jang Hwan know your new number, right?
I changed it long time ago.
That's why he can't talk to In Sung anymore.
If you want to buy big shoes in the future,
you can call him and ask.
- I'll call you if I need shoes. - There you go.
(Jang Hwan, I'll call you if I want to buy shoes.)
I guess this is because In Sung watches a lot of variety shows.
At Seong Woo's interview,
you kept telling him to correct his answer...
saying things like, "That can't be used on the show."
I heard you interfered a lot.
Did you really do that?
I don't think he used inappropriate expressions to air on TV,
but his stories are long.
- If his stories are long, - It's about his stories.
- they don't usually air. - I see.
- He's offended now. - I see.
- You look really offended now. - Make it short.
- It's his second time on the show. - His facial expression says,
"Who are you to judge me?" That's what it looks like.
- In my opinion, - "I'll take care of it."
- he doesn't think they're long. - Right.
- Actually, when I tell my stories, - Okay.
I do feel they're long.
- I just feel... - Do you feel that too?
Yes, I do feel it. I feel that my stories are long.
I think that my stories probably won't air.
I was just talking to the writers.
- I didn't have to be rude though. - The writers weren't paying...
attention because they were distracted when the story was long.
Why were you wasting your energy if it was useless?
- The writers were distracted? - Yes.
Couldn't you see that?
- It means it was really boring. - Seriously.
- Couldn't you see that? - It's their job, not mine.
- It's my job to share my stories. - Next time, make it short.
What kind of stories can't be used?
He told them that my popularity had gone up.
But I told them that I was shy about it.
He said that I had to go there to check my popularity.
When I go to the amusement park,
people will recognize me.
- Like Lotte World. - He said that I could visit that.
I asked why I should visit such a place,
but he insisted that I should visit.
He asked me if I couldn't go on the rides there.
I told him that I could go on the rides.
Here's a tip. When the rides go down,
we can look up instead of down.
- That's scarier. - I told not to mention that.
- This is what I said. - What are you talking about?
- We can't use that story. - It was about your popularity.
Why would you talk about looking up or down on a ride?
Is that right? Let me ask one thing.
Is it better to look up when the roller coaster goes down?
- Looking is scarier. - Really?
- We should face forward then. - Yes, that's better.
When we go down, everyone looks down.
- But you should look up instead... - Some close their eyes.
if I were to mention about the direction.
- You'll feel the adrenaline rush. - I didn't know about that.
- By the way... - You really think that won't air?
If you say it like that...
- Let me be clear now. - That was great.
- Thank you. - They will use this clip now.
- You made it possible. - By the way,
- staff came over earlier and said, - You helped me save the story.
"Outstanding guests are joining us."
"Make them keep talking..."
"so we can air this for two weeks."
But I told them it'd be nice...
to focus for three hours...
and air it for one episode.
It might air for two episodes because you said this.
If you share a few stories like this one,
- the special can air for two weeks. - Exactly.
If there are a few more stories like this one, it's possible.
We have few stories prepared.
Seong Woo and Byung Eun had each about two stories.
- Two each? - This us how many we prepared.
- I can understand that. - This might air for two weeks.
- You get paid for two weeks' too. - Really?
- Byung Eun just got motivated. - But...
You'll get paid for two weeks' worth.
It's the same for us too.
- Wait, we get the fee again? - Of course.
- We do? We talked about that. - Of course.
- You do get paid again. - I didn't know we'd get paid again.
The TV station has to pay you.
- If not, it'd be a violation. - Why wouldn't they pay you?
- But it won't be much. - How much is it?
- But it'd still be sizable. - Enough for our transportation?
- You can drink rice wine with that. - Right.
- We can drink high-end rice wine. - Yes.
- That's right. - High-end rice wine?
You can drink a lot of fancy stuff.
- Like 15-dollar rice wine. - Exactly.
- Joo Hyuk, - I see.
you can't fall asleep these days?
These days, I just can't fall asleep.
- It's because he play games. - I do play games.
- "Games". - The time difference doesn't work.
- You should go visit New York. - Should... Should I?
- What kind of game do you play? - I play the one with gunfights.
- The one with gunfights? - Yes.
I heard that he's the best player when it comes to that game.
- He's ranked high in Asia. - Really?
- In Asia? - Really?
- That was a long time ago. - I see.
- Is that so? - That's true though.
One time, we went to Japan together.
He was seriously considering...
to buy an expensive pair of earbuds.
- He said... - The Bluetooth earbuds?
- he could hear footsteps with them. - I must hear the footsteps.
I see. The footsteps in the game?
- I must figure out the directions. - He must identify the sounds.
- You can play the game better then. - Yes.
- The footsteps... - Equipment is important too.
- That sounds like fun. - So did you buy the earbuds?
I couldn't buy them at that time.
- I couldn't. - I told him he couldn't buy them.
I told him that he was crazy.
- Was it really expensive? - It was so expensive.
The pair cost about 1,000 dollars.
- Just for a pair of earbuds? - Yes.
But if I can't hear the footsteps, I'll be in big trouble.
- Really? - Game these days...
I don't get how that's important.
- You must be able to hear them. - They'd just shoot at him.
- Right. He has to kill the others. - When you walk like this,
- you could hear their footsteps. - They come to kill you too.
Everyone except for Joo Hyuk doesn't know about this game.
- I don't know the game that well. - We don't know about it that well.
- I can understand though. - In Sung called it...
an electronic game earlier.
- "An electronic game". - "An electronic game".
- Like the galaxy game? - Right.
- The one with a console? - Yes.
So can you not hear the footsteps with your current earbuds?
- No, I can hear them. - Do you want a nicer pair?
I have to put my earbuds deep into my ears.
That's how I can hear them better.
Don't put them too deep. Your ears will bleed.
(Don't worry.)
A while ago, Chang Eui and Young Min...
- Is it about me? - starred on Radio Star.
That's right. Young Min was on our show.
He told us that you used to be so lame when you were in college,
but now, you don't even read your script thoroughly.
(Did his college friend expose about Seong Woo's true nature?)
Whatever he said was groundless. To be honest,
that could be a sensitive topic.
- How could I skim through scripts? - That's right.
- It means that you get many offers. - In a way, that's how I make money.
- You get a lot of offers. - Right.
I like my job.
- I read them with two hands. - Listen.
- I read them with my two eyes. - In the end...
It means that you have a pile of scripts,
- you read them with hands and feet. - There's a pile of scripts.
- He was implying this point. - You'd kick the next script.
You'd choose which one to read next.
Everyone at this table gets a lot of scripts.
Some directors send me scripts too which I'm very grateful about.
I get a few project offers.
- I can't accept all of them. - That's right.
- I have a schedule to follow. - You turn down more offers, right?
That's why I feel sorry.
I would like to accept all of them if I could.
How many projects did you accept this year?
This year, I only starred...
- in a drama. - Okay.
- Is that so? - When I'm in a drama,
I can't join other projects.
- I only focused on that. - Did people around you say that...
you're well-off now? Do people say that now?
- I started running on a treadmill. - I mean...
(He started to exercise now.)
- You look like a tuna now. - That's why.
- Compared to before, - He looks like a tuna.
- you've gotten really busy, - Exactly.
and your reputation has improved as well.
When I starred on Radio Star before,
I was on more projects.
- I was busier at that time. - Right. You were busier then.
It was when I was on many projects.
Right now...
To be honest...
- I hate this facial expression. - I like to join many projects.
(Twitching)
- He says that it's great. - So in the movies...
- He has to look humble too. - Right.
- He says that it's not the case, - "Roaring Currents"...
but he can't look composed though.
- That's how he looks. - This is a fact.
- That's a fact. - Okay.
"I'm really thankful."
Are you saying that you're better off now than before?
Are you trying to kill me?
(Are you trying to kill me?)
- He did 3 or 4 projects before, - That's true.
- but now, he can't anymore. - Yes, I must...
focus on one project.
- Are you trying to look humble? - I'm not pretending to be humble.
(Is he liking this inside?)
- I need a lot of time now. - Look at his smile.
- I need a lot of time. - Look at him.
- He's trying to look unfazed. - Right. He tried...
He's really happy inside,
but he feels like he shouldn't express his happiness.
- He smiles and then stops. - Seong Woo...
Compared to the last time here,
he doesn't act friendly now.
- He has gotten serious now. - His unique friendliness is gone.
But your rate has gone up a lot compared to before, right?
- Yes, it has. - Right.
I can't be on multiple projects now.
That's great then.
- That's the right answer. - That's great.
- That's bound to happen. - Otherwise, he must do a lot.
- That's only natural. - That's great then.
I have a question.
For personalities on variety shows,
- our fees don't go up that often. - Okay.
And they don't go down either.
Even if a lot of Jong Shin's programs end up getting canceled,
- his rate stays the same. - Okay.
But since your rate goes up quickly, if your projects don't go well,
does your rate go down after several failed projects?
- I don't think their rate drops. - It doesn't drop?
- No, it doesn't. - But the roles would change.
- The roles. - I see.
- When that happens, the rate... - It would go down then.
- would go down naturally. - Is that so?
I just got a raise in my rate.
- His rate has just gone up. - I'm sorry.
You're not sure about it. I'm sorry for asking the question.
- I want to keep my rate. - You should ask me that.
My rate fluctuates a lot.
He became big since 2006.
My rate fluctuated a lot, so it's been the same for years.
Because your rate varies a lot,
you're starring on variety shows, right?
(It turns out there's a reason of his joining variety shows.)
Joo Hyuk, you're here to promote the movie.
But when the preliminary interview started,
you happily talked about another movie.
This shows that he hasn't been on a lot of talk shows.
- Before my interview, - Okay.
I couldn't sleep at night.
- He said he was nervous. - I was nervous. I couldn't sleep,
so I watched a movie.
"Himizu"?
- "Himizu"? - There's such a movie?
There is a movie with that name?
- It's a Japanese movie. - I see.
- Was it good? - I watched for an hour.
It was too hard,
so I fell asleep.
The title of the movie is "Himizu". No wonder why.
- It was so hard to understand. - "Himizu".
- It was hard. - Do actors feel this way?
When they watch movies that are hard to understand,
do they feel the need to understand such movies?
I think they might try to finish the movies...
although it's hard and agonizing.
- Yes, I do that sometimes. - Yes, there are times.
You're right. If that movie won an award...
- or something, I would watch it. - You'd be compelled to watch it.
"This won an award. Why am I the only one not liking this movie?"
I'd question myself...
- if something is wrong with me. - That's right.
Even if I didn't like it,
- I'd say the movie was great. - Exactly.
- "Himizu" was great. - The metaphor was nice.
You must watch "Himizu".
- "Himizu"... - That movie...
- The metaphor was nice. - You liked the metaphor.
- You know those things... - The brutality...
Things like that were great.
- You'd talk about those things. - When you look up the movies,
- there are interpretations. - I read those.
- That's so true. - Exactly.
- The film critics' reviews. - For example...
- I'd memorize their reviews. - For example,
- you read what Lee Dong Jin wrote. - That's true.
Then you'd understand the movie.
"Himizu" was a good movie.
The moment the end credits go up, I'd look it up online.
- I'd look for interpretations then. - I see.
(With some searching, they can be film critics too.)
Seong Woo should join the cast to go around the theaters since...
the movie is coming out soon, but you're preparing your next project?
- It already started. - I started filming now.
- What is the film called? - It's...
"Beasts That Cling to the Straw".
Is that a comedy?
- No. - No.
- Who's in the movie? - It was dramatized.
- In the movie... - The cast is amazing.
Jeon Do Yeon, Jung Woo Sung,
and Youn Yuh Jung.
Can't you bring in Mr. J too?
- Mr. J? - Mr. Jung Woo Sung.
- Later? - To this show?
Do you not care about In Sung since he's on our show now?
If this goes well, Woo Sung should star on this show.
You're talking about Jung Woo Sung when we have In Sung with us.
- Aren't you aiming too high? - No.
In Sung is joining us now.
But no show talks about your movie as extensively as we do.
- Seriously? - I'm telling you the truth.
- "Seriously"? - I'm serious.
- Right, right. - We even ask about distribution.
It just doesn't get to air.
- It's true. - We don't ask about distribution.
We ask about distribution and the director.
Which company is distributing the movie?
(Company N will distribute "The Great Battle".)
I hope that company does well.
Not that many shows ask about this.
(Radio Star is a show with high-end promotions.)
By the way,
what is the break-even point for this movie?
- I bet it's high. - Right.
I know that 20 million dollars were invested in this movie.
- The break-even point? - You need at least six million.
- We need at least six million. - You at least need that many.
- It's between 5.5 to 6 million. - Between 5.5 to 6 million.
- You must feel responsible... - You need that many people.
- given the number of people needed. - Even on Radio Star...
- To get 5.5 to 6 million people, - Right.
the movie must be 1 of the top 10 films this year.
- That's right. - 5.5 million to 6 million.
Do you feel confident it'll go well? What do you think?
- I don't feel confident per se. - How do you feel?
I am proud to be part of this movie.
What's your guess?
Every actor's goal is going over the break-even point.
- Right, right. - That's my goal. And after that,
- You have to break even first. - that's a bonus.
- There won't be any losses. - We'd be grateful then.
- Exactly. - Byung Eun is also in a drama now.
You decided to star in it because of Sung Dong Il?
- I'm in "Dear Judge". - That's right. "Dear Judge".
- I didn't rest for two years. - I see.
I wanted to take just a month off.
- I was going to fish all I wanted. - Fishing.
That was my plan, but Dong Il...
called me at night. "Hey, what are you doing?"
I told him that I was cleaning my house. He said, "What? Cleaning?"
He said, "Do a project with me."
I asked what the project was.
He said, "Hang up now. The writer and the director are here."
"He's going to join the project."
"You're in, right? Bye."
- This is how I joined the drama. - That's how it happened.
- "Dear Judge". - I see.
Grade Seven Civil Servant...
- Can you move closer to Seong Woo? - More?
- That's why. - Why is everyone moving down?
- Listen. - You should stay put.
They're trying too hard to make this air for two weeks.
- No, I wasn't trying to do that. - This won't get you two episodes.
- You should move back again. - Right.
You tend to get your airtime this way.
- One by one. - I wasn't trying to do that.
It felt awkward that our arms were touching.
As soon as you're done with your current drama,
you'll join a new drama as Jang Dong Gun's younger brother.
- It's "Asdal Chronicle". - "Asdal Chronicle".
- It happens in the ancient times. - It's my first historical show...
in the ancient times.
- During the Gojoseon Era? - The Gojoseon Era.
Korea was a tribal nation then.
- A tribal nation? - Yes, I'm in a tribe.
Is it after the mankind had discovered fire?
- Yes, it's after that. - You want it to air for two weeks.
You're trying too hard.
You don't eat gingers, right?
Please stop it.
Do you become a human after eating mugwort and garlics?
(We need everyone's help to turn this into 2 episodes.)
Byung Eun, did you steal...
- one of Wanna One's commercials? - My goodness.
- Which one did you steal? - My gosh.
Yes, I filmed it a while ago.
- You said you had to lose weight. - That's impressive.
So you only ate croissant crumbs during the interview.
- Those are carbs too. - Right.
Croissants are made with layers of those crumbs.
- Aren't those the most fattening? - It was symbolic.
I was trying to show the writers that I couldn't eat...
as I was self-disciplined and on a diet then.
Later in the interview, I caved in and finished all of it.
When you're busy, you can't go fishing which you love to do.
How do you get rid of your stress then?
- People who love fishing... - I go fishing instead of sleeping.
- You go fishing. - Webfoot octopuses are in season.
- That's right. - It started on September 1.
- Do we catch them with the rod? - Yes, you do.
- Really? - We catch them on a boat.
- It's really fun. - Do we just pull the fishing line?
- No, no. - Do we use the reel?
- You would reel it in. - You use the reel?
But I saw people catching squid with just fishing lines.
- No, you lower it front the boat. - We lower it right from the boat.
- It's from the boat. - Right.
- Don't we just pull that up? - Okay.
- We need the artificial bait. - You just said what I said.
You're trying to make this air for two weeks. Stop that.
- This could air for three weeks. - We need to continue with our show.
Aren't you saying that again and again,
- so the show airs for two weeks? - That's not true.
That's not it.
You want to ride on my coattail.
- You're trying too. - He laughed for too long.
- That was too long. - That was intended.
He was laughing like this.
- Cut this up and edit it in. - Insert this throughout the show.
- When he laughed... - Put it in when it's appropriate.
- Shorten your laughter, please. - He loves this show.
That was great.
You know people who like fishing...
- usually share what they catch. - They give a lot of presents.
- This is sad. - I ate what I caught with them.
You did? I see.
- You only brought it once. - Then how many times do you want?
My goodness.
- How much more do you want? - Excuse me.
- You didn't give him anything back. - Should I bring it every day?
- He caught octopuses and gave you? - We discussed it for five minutes.
- Stop talking about octopuses. - What? What do you want?
You only fed us once.
- He caught them and fed you? - My gosh.
- No, no. He didn't. - I caught the octopuses.
- He caught them six months ago. - I see.
- He froze them. - People do that.
- He brought the frozen ones. - I see.
- Even the halibut from the sea... - No, stay quiet.
- No, stay quiet. No, no. - I prepared the halibut myself.
- I gutted it too. - Halibut, sea bream, rockfish...
- Halibut, sea bream, rockfish... - I made a cut right here...
- and drained the blood out. - Go on.
It happened when we had our first read-through.
The shoot was to take place in Goseong, Gangwon Province.
- People fish there a lot. - Right.
He suggested that we should go fishing together...
and eat sashimi when we had time off.
That's what we promised.
But he had to star in another drama while filming the movie.
- He had to go there. - After that,
- we never went fishing together. - He never went fishing with you.
We didn't even have enough time to go for drinks together.
When we were almost done with our shoot...
- Yes, it was near the end. - When we were about to finish,
he brought the webfoot octopuses.
- He kept saying he'd bring them. - The ones from six months ago.
- He always forgot that. - It was towards the end.
He only brought about this much. We blanched and ate them together.
This is what you're talking about, right?
- They just blanched them? - You didn't even cook them?
- We just blanched and ate them. - We blanched them.
- People usually blanch octopuses. - We fried the halibut though.
You liked it, Seong Woo.
- He always mentions that... - You should tell them.
I enjoyed eating his halibut.
- I enjoyed eating the halibut. - We did enjoy it.
- But there wasn't much to eat. - It was this much?
We ended up eating mushroom kalguksu which we bought, right?
- And the spicy fish stew. - We ate that.
- We bought that? - Yes, we bought that.
If this keeps up, we can film until tomorrow.
- How could I have cooked the stew? - You should've cooked the stew.
- I had to get mudfish then. - We didn't start our main topic.
(They might stay up all night long.)
Recently, In Sung's travel photos...
were on everyone's lips.
- Did he go on a trip? - It was a package tour.
You went there with Youn Yuh Jung and other actors, right?
- No. - Youn Yuh Jung...
- He wasn't on a travel show. - I see.
- I went with Bae Jong Ok. - Right, right.
I don't think it was a package tour.
No, it wasn't. It wasn't a package tour.
- Once a year, Monk Pomnyun... - I see.
leads a group of civilians...
on a trip where we can learn the history of Goguryeo and Balhae.
- It's a history tour. - I see. A history tour.
When it was first uploaded online, it said that...
- In Sung had a lookalike in China. - Right.
- Is that so? - That's how it was first posted.
When people start taking photos of me,
the security will be...
sensitive about such behaviors.
They told me that it'd help if I didn't stand out.
- I had to wear the uniform. - Regardless of your religion?
- It wasn't about your religion? - No.
- I... - How did they take photos of you?
I think the security took photos of me.
- People at the booth recognized me. - He has fans in China.
- It's impossible not to. - Right.
That's how it happened.
Joo Hyuk. It's about Joo Hyuk.
Stephanie Lee did your impression.
Joo Hyuk does this thing.
(She shyly got up.)
- She's good at doing impressions. - He sort of...
- He's hurt. - What is that?
(Stephanie Lee showed a walk of an injured man.)
- It was so funny. - But you do walk like that.
No, I checked the footage, but you didn't walk like that.
- You didn't walk like that. - He didn't.
- She was almost limping. - Exactly.
We weren't on that many shows together.
These days, the way models walk has changed a lot.
It's been 3 or 4 years since I had been on a catwalk.
- The best way to get back at her... - Show us.
is doing Stephanie Lee's impression.
- That's the best method. It is. - That's true. Right.
- That way... - Don't you think so?
Don't you think that's the best way to deal with this?
- Then... - Joo Hyuk, we can't help you here.
- We can't help you with this. - You should show us your walk.
Show us yours first.
- Show us yours first. - Right.
Show us what Stephanie Lee was trying to copy.
- You're tall. - She did this all of a sudden.
- Right. - That's it.
(Limping)
- It looked like she was hurt. - Right.
- She did that. - Why would I do that on a show?
There's no way I would walk like this on a catwalk.
But tell you what.
My pelvis is a bit twisted.
I think I'm walking straight, but I tend to waddle.
No matter how twisted my pelvis is, this was going too far.
That's me when I hurt my foot after playing basketball.
I thought he was going to fall.
- Do yours then. - Mine?
I didn't go through training to walk on a catwalk.
I just walk like this on the catwalk.
- That does look similar to hers. - It has a similar vibe.
(It does look like he's limping.)
- You have a slight imbalance. - No, no.
- No, listen. - You should fix that.
You should walk a bit faster.
- Stephanie Lee... - It's because of the seat.
I've been sitting down on the chair like this.
- My pelvis must've turned a bit. - Is that so?
- Stephanie wasn't wrong. - You know how...
some models walk sloppily with the defiant facial expression.
- Can you show us that? - Yes, show us a good one.
- Something that... - Go all the way there,
- and come back to that spot. - makes you look defiant.
I'll start. I'll come out on the catwalk now.
- Yes, he does have that vibe. - Yes, indeed.
(Gosh, how handsome.)
- But... - I see.
You should go a bit more.
That was nice.
This special will air for two episodes.
Do it one more time. Keep going. We'll keep talking here.
- Listen. - Give him a separate camera.
Can you do female models' impressions?
Do they walk like this?
(Walking vigorously)
- Is that how? - Is the floor hot?
- Is the floor hot? - We can't use that. Sit down.
- This part was... - Listen.
Why do you keep evaluating?
- He's like a judge. - No.
A judge of variety shows.
(This judge is the strictest.)
The four of you text each other and video call every day.
- Do you really? - I see.
- Do you have a group chat room? - They're so close.
- Yes, we do. - The four of you became friends.
Yes.
Do you always have something to talk about every day?
They send texts that aren't that important too.
- We send each other emoticons. - Right.
I'm sure it's the case for every group chat room.
We would be quiet for days,
- but we'd talk once in a while. - It happens all of a sudden.
- That's usually what happens. - You made it during the filming.
Can you still maintain it after everyone starts another project?
Some can be maintained, and some can't be.
I know you're still in one of those group chat rooms.
- I have a pretty old chat room. - Who are in it?
It was created between the actors of "Office".
The members are Kim Ui Seong,
(Kim Ui Seong)
Ko A Sung, Park Jung Min,
- Ryu Hyun Kyung and so on. - It's an old chat room.
The chat room is a few years old.
Do you think this chat room will last long?
I think it will...
because months have passed after the shoot.
We still see each other often and keep in contact.
What do you talk about?
You talk a lot about women, right?
- All of them are single. - That's right.
We talk the most about work.
(Shameless)
That's what you talk about.
- The thing is... - You need to be honest.
It's true!
While we talk about work,
- we also talk about women. - That's right.
Doesn't it make you worried...
to leave a record of your words?
We are good at keeping it tame.
I see.
We don't know when one of us will take a screenshot.
(Laughing)
(They are careful.)
Seol Hyun really likes...
Byung Eun's jokes.
(I see.)
- I see. - He posts pictures with Seol Hyun.
- He brags about them. - Byung Eun and Seong Woo,
aren't you thinking about getting married?
I am not opposed to getting married.
It simply isn't a priority.
I don't think it's a must.
It's important to have that mindset.
I will see what happens.
He once asked, "If I get married,"
"when will I go home?"
He shouldn't get married.
He said, "I won't be able to go home."
- What does it mean? - "I won't be able to go home."
- It's not like that. - His wife will be at home.
My words are getting twisted.
- I saw on the internet... - I know what it is.
Someone said a wife is like a girlfriend who won't go home.
I simply delivered what I saw on the internet.
Seong Woo keeps explaining himself.
(Does Jong Shin agree with the saying?)
I heard that it isn't easy to live with someone...
after 40 years.
- It's a clash between cultures. - Yes.
- That's what it feels like. - That's right.
The older you get, the more scared you become.
I have become used to myself.
You must have a strong personality.
Everyone is different.
I do want to get married.
He has a serious thought about it.
"It would be scary to have a girlfriend who won't go home."
Then you shouldn't get married.
He said that.
- You shouldn't get married. - He likes his friends too much.
I don't currently live alone.
You live with your sibling, right?
Yes, I live with my sibling and my mother.
- They live alone. - That's why...
(He will adjust if his girlfriend doesn't go home.)
I can't say that I live alone.
Byung Eun, don't you want to get married?
Like I said earlier,
- I... - What did you say earlier?
I told Gu Ra earlier.
I did, right?
(I did, right?)
A private conversation doesn't count.
- What did you tell Gu Ra? - Don't you remember?
What did you tell me?
When I told you that I am the same,
- you said, "Oh." - I remember.
(You said, "Oh.")
(Seong Woo was talking about marriage.)
(I am the same.)
- He didn't give you an answer. - He didn't mean anything by it.
It was a meaningless reaction.
Did you signal each other?
People who lived alone for many years say...
it's scary.
The life you have known will change dramatically.
You should depend on each other...
without changing too many things.
Among us, he got married the most recently.
He is a newcomer in that matter.
- That's right. - Congratulations.
(Drinking)
- Let's have a drink. - Shall we do that?
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- My goodness. - Congratulations.
Gook Jin was saying that...
- a marriage isn't scary. - You spilled some.
I am at the age to spill food.
But I got married.
(Don't lose hope.)
Byung Eun, during the preliminary interview,
you complained that Seong Woo never picks up his phone.
However, he answered In Sung's call right away...
during the preliminary interview.
We talked about it in the chat room a few days ago.
- Really? - He never picks up his phone.
He said that he doesn't answer anyone's call.
It's true. Seong Woo really doesn't answer a call.
It's true.
When I drink with Tae Hyun,
he tells me to call Seong Woo and ask if he can come.
I can rarely reach him.
When I am on the treadmill...
Don't lie. It was really late.
Why would you be on the treadmill at 3am?
After I run, I become tired at 3am.
- Don't lie. - I become tired.
- He used to pick up. - He reads all the messages.
He doesn't answer a call, but he reads all the messages.
(Laughing)
I can tell that he read the messages,
- but he doesn't answer a call. - Do you send messages via the web?
What are you up to these days?
- What are you up to these days? - I am sorry.
How do you check the messages on the treadmill?
I have an interval training.
I check my phone when I walk.
- He has an excuse. - When he is on a treadmill,
he wears Bluetooth earphones.
Then it's impossible not to answer a call.
His excuse makes no sense.
Perhaps he thinks...
he has reached stardom.
It's like going through puberty.
(Does Seong Woo have a celebrity complex?)
- He has an excuse. - When he is on a treadmill,
he wears Bluetooth earphones.
Then it's impossible not to answer a call.
Perhaps he thinks...
he has reached stardom.
It's like going through puberty.
It's okay.
Are you saying that he has a celebrity complex?
When you gain recognition,
you want to enjoy peace and quiet at home.
I watch movies at home.
I see.
I want to stay focused.
Do you ignore our calls to watch movies?
Since you are curious, you take a quick look...
to read the messages.
Yes. I reply to messages as I watch movies.
To talk to Seong Woo on the phone,
you need to call as soon as he reads the message.
Then he answers.
You have to keep your eyes on the screen.
I call as soon as he reads it.
Then he answers in a surprised tone.
(Oh...)
You know,
once this episode airs,
Seong Woo will be known as a top star.
He is a top star.
- What? - Only a top star...
ignores calls vehemently.
You will edit this out, right?
- Of course they won't. - Of course we won't.
- They won't edit it out. - It's proof.
It will show everyone that you are a top star.
- He is an A-list celebrity. - That's right.
Will people not call me when they see this?
Please call me.
(It's a misunderstanding.)
Seong Woo,
did you try to take In Sung to your school reunion?
- I wasn't serious about it. - What?
Back then...
What do you mean, "What?"
After the interview,
you asked me if I want to join you.
I hadn't seen him for days.
He was seeing his friends in 10 years.
Why did you ask me to join you?
We usually see each other really often,
but I hadn't seen him for days.
He called me and offered to visit me...
when I have the preliminary interview.
I told him to come.
The interview only takes an hour or two.
I thought he wanted...
to drink with me afterwards.
No, I didn't want that.
- I thought he did. - It was a misunderstanding.
"I have an appointment afterward. Do you want to join me?"
That's how it happened.
(Laughing)
He flat-out refused.
(Of course he refused.)
Of course he refused. Why would he go there?
I thought to myself, "What is wrong with him?"
I was like, "Okay."
(He kept his cool.)
Joo Hyuk, it seems like...
you like everything In Sung does.
You said that...
the apple you ate at In Sung's place was special.
- Apple? - Apple.
Was it Fuji apple?
- What? - Was it Aori apple?
Was it Aori apple?
(Was it Aori apple?)
The apple was...
very...
I hadn't seen anything like it.
- What kind of an apple was it? - It was...
What was the color?
- It as a red apple. - Did it look like...
an apple from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"?
Did it look like a princess would eat it?
You normally cut apple into big chunks.
However, In Sung cut it into slices.
In Sung did that.
- Was it when we drank whiskey? - Yes.
Apple is good with whiskey.
I hadn't seen anything like it.
A senior actor sliced apple for you.
When I visited his place,
he made me noodles in Jeju Island style.
I see he is good at that.
He can cook very well.
- He even made the stock. - He is the type...
- to treat his guests. - He even made the stock.
He isn't the type to buy food from a convenience store.
I do that sometimes.
I do that when I don't have anything.
When I can, I prepare the snacks.
Joo Hyuk was touched.
- Sliced apple. - I will make it often for you.
- It's nothing. - It looks really pretty.
(Cutting)
Will they use this bit?
I don't know.
- We need enough for two episodes. - I will talk to the crew.
(He is careful.)
Seong Woo, what do you mean by this?
You said that...
In Sung always pushes his fist in front of you.
I do this.
He does this.
The fist bump.
- I haven't done this... - You haven't done this.
very often.
It's not my style.
- It's embarrassing. - I was in a shoot for "The King".
Director Han Jae Rim rarely accepts the first take.
When he accepted the first take of my scene,
I was so happy that I did this.
I was like, "What is he doing?"
"There is no way..."
"he is asking for a fist bump..."
"like an athlete."
I did this.
"Does he want to play a game?"
- I did this. - I was so flustered.
Most people high five.
- I don't like high five either. - You don't feel comfortable.
Who high fives after a shoot?
Isn't it more embarrassing?
He does that when something goes well,
but I feel embarrassed.
You make a fist in a strange way.
Most people make a fist like this, but you did this.
- The best. - You know,
people who can't fight make a fist like that.
- I can't fight. - They hit like this.
You could stick your thumb in someone's eyes.
He could stick his thumb in someone's ears.
A good fighter could do that.
(What?)
(He ruins the atmosphere.)
What are you talking about?
He could stick his thumb in someone's ears.
In any case...
People high five in variety shows,
- but I don't like it. - I see.
I have too many occasions for high fives.
- Me, too. - That's right.
I would have to high five all the time.
- You will have many hits. - Seriously.
I don't have time for that.
- You don't like it. - He looks dissatisfied.
I don't really like it either.
I don't do that.
To be honest, I think...
You feel awkward.
(Shy)
To be honest, I think...
You can't help but do it.
You can't help but do it when someone else does it.
Seriously.
- You can't help but do it. - I don't even like clapping...
that much.
Jong Shin claps a lot...
- to his own story. - I clap a lot.
I don't like it.
I remember doing it once...
back in the days...
with Park Hyuk Kwon.
He didn't seem like the type.
- He never does it. - Hyuk Kwon never does it.
We get along because we don't do something like that.
We don't even touch each other.
- I see. - We put...
some space between us.
One time, he asked me to go jogging with him.
- Hyuk Kwon did? - Yes.
A 2km jogging track had been made...
at Hongje Stream...
with 100m marks.
He suggested that we jog together.
It was hard to jog 2km without a break.
After a few days,
we became used to the routine.
The moment we successfully ran 2km without a break,
we looked at each other in our sweaty state and went...
That's how it happened.
Wasn't it a bit embarrassing afterward?
We had to walk 2km back.
As we were walking,
we thought to ourselves, "Why did we do that?"
Both of you were embarrassed.
We were embarrassed.
Hyuk Kwon isn't like that.
No, he isn't.
"Why did we do that?"
- It just came out. - "Were we that happy?"
Was it your first time touching him?
Yes.
I get a lot of physical contacts these days.
It made me more warm-hearted.
(It made me more warm-hearted.)
What does it mean that In Sung and Seong Woo...
have pride in primary school?
Did you go to the same primary school?
The term "Primary school"...
was changed to "Elementary school" in Joo Hyuk's generation.
It was called primary school in your days, right?
I think it was right to change the term.
However, there is a connection...
between the generations which share that.
I know what you mean.
It was a different time.
You understood me right away.
- It was a different time. - That's right.
That's why your pronunciation of English words...
- sounds different. - That's right.
(Interval training)
(Athlete)
(100m marks)
- My pronunciation is different. - Say "Tomato".
- Tomato. - Tomato.
If I pronounce it differently,
I feel like it wouldn't be ripe.
I feel like it would be green.
I have to pronounce it a certain way to feel like it's ripe.
- Motorcycle. - Motorcycle. Transformer.
The pronunciation is a bit off.
Truck.
- Truck. - Tree.
"Scarf" is the same.
- Scarf. - Athlete.
- Athlete. - Wear your scarf properly.
(Wear your scarf properly.)
Seong Woo, have you lent money to Byung Eun?
I don't remember.
Seong Woo looks like he is better off financially.
It happened in the past.
- It happened in the past. - He was going to auditions.
- What happened? - Everyone was struggling.
I borrowed money from him.
I was in such a tight spot.
As soon as I called him, he said, "Give me your bank account."
- He lent money right away. - How big was the amount?
- 2,000 dollars. - It was 3,000 dollars.
- Was it 3,000 dollars? - Yes.
- You said you don't remember. - You said you don't remember.
I heard later.
- You heard later. - It was over 2,000 dollars.
He has a ledger at home.
That's right.
(He has a ledger at home.)
I paid him back in a month.
I sent the money back to his account.
- Did you pay back the principal? - Yes.
Seong Woo wouldn't accept interest.
That would have been bad.
I heard Seong Woo made a lot of money that way.
Did you accept interest?
- What makes you upset? - What makes you upset about it?
You were young and poor.
That's not it.
The thing is...
This is my story.
I am sorry.
That's what Seol Hyun likes.
- That's right. - Keep going.
I paid back the money right away.
When we were drinking together later on,
I said, "Thanks for lending me money when I was in a tight spot."
He went,
"Did you pay back the money?"
- He forgot that I paid it back. - "Did you pay back the money?"
- He forgot. - Yes.
He didn't know until recently.
He thought I hadn't paid him back.
- He remembered lending money. - I think it's incredible...
that he looked at me kindly...
when he thought...
It's a nice friendship.
Why don't you finish your sentence?
I got ahead of myself.
Did you think he didn't pay you back?
To be honest, I forgot that...
- I had lent him money. - I see.
The thing is,
I hadn't thought about receiving the money back.
It wasn't that I had a lot of money.
He was in a tight spot...
and I had some money to spare.
- I knew... - It's a big amount of money.
he would do well.
When you are struggling financially...
and in need of money,
it's hard to ask to borrow money from a rich friend.
- A friend at your level is better. - Then they understand.
- That's right. - It could be...
Borrowing money from a rich friend...
- hurts your pride. - You could think,
"I need to save this opportunity for later."
"I will borrow a big amount."
"I will borrow a small amount from Seong Woo."
Go on with the story.
I didn't remember,
but it's not important.
You are cool.
- That's right. - He is cool.
Back in the days,
Gook Jin put a pile of money...
and told the members of Gamjagol to use it freely.
- I heard that story. - He made a lot of money back then.
"I will put money in here."
Did you say you put it in the refrigerator?
(No way)
- A refrigerator? - I think so.
- He put it in the refrigerator. - He kept his money cold.
He was like a drug dealer.
Seriously.
Other members used that money.
I heard that story.
It must have been awkward for them to ask for money.
You are right.
He is the original helpful friend.
I am like that.
You can be that way, too.
Look for money inside my freezer.
(Look for money inside my freezer.)
You are watching...
a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the four guests who should take off their armors.
Let's start...
"Without Armors".
The four of you are in "The Great Battle".
Tell us about the role you play. In Sung, you can go first.
In "The Great Battle",
I play Yang Man Chun, the lord of Ansi Fortress.
- Yang Man Chun. - Yes.
- How about you? - I play...
an adjutant general.
- The name is Choo Soo Ji. - Choo Soo Ji.
He isn't in the records.
The characters are fictional except for In Sung's.
I play Poong.
I am the leader of the swordsmen.
- The leader of the swordsmen. - I am the quick one.
The name suits you.
- Go on. - Poong.
I play a young solder...
who infiltrates Ansi Fortress...
with a secret mission.
- The name is Sa Mool. - Sa Mool.
Who is with the Tang Empire? Park Sung Woong?
I see.
- Does he play Li Shimin? - Li Shimin.
- Li Shimin. - You know your history.
Are you dissatisfied?
No, I am not.
- It's a habit. - I simply wasn't sure...
about the name.
- Li Shimin is... - Emperor Taizong of Tang.
The name of the Tang Empire...
sounds like a Korean name.
- Li Shimin. - Seriously.
- You are right. - There is Park Se Min.
(A man who melted a refrigerator, Park Se Min)
(Those who know him remember the 70s and 80s.)
- He is a senior comedian. - I was a fan.
"A man who sells a refrigerator at the Arctic."
- You know it, right? - Park Se Min.
- I am surprised you know that. - Of course I know that.
Park Se Min made a movie titled "Shinsa-dong Gigolo".
That's right.
- Do you know that? - Of course I do.
He is from the primary school generation.
- He knows everything. - Li Shimin.
The primary school.
(He shows his primary school pride.)
This movie has a lot of action scenes.
Seong Woo, although you have been in many movies,
it was your first time to learn how to use a spear.
Yes, it was my first time.
It must have been hard to use it.
I haven't done it.
Because of that, my posture was off.
Did you wield it like they do in wushu?
A little bit.
In wushu, they use a pole.
A spear...
is mostly for piercing and cutting.
- It's your character's main weapon. - Yes.
My character doesn't get any other weapon.
Byung Eun, I heard that you are now skilled enough...
to show sword tricks.
He has played baseball.
Were you a baseball player?
I was in elementary school.
- That hardly counts. - You went to a primary school.
- Didn't you go to a primary school? - That's right.
(I almost forgot.)
It depends on people.
We brought it here. Please come in.
All right. We should see it.
That's a real spear.
- My goodness. - A lot of them are stacked here.
- There's a lot in the TV station. - That's right. There's a lot.
I saw them in "Humor 1st Street".
They're the same props.
I saw them in "Humor 1st Street".
In Sung, what weapon do you use?
- I use a bow. - A bow?
Each of you uses a different weapon.
In Sung uses swords,
a long sword and a short sword, and a bow. He practically uses all.
- He uses all of them. - Yes.
Byung Eun, you go first. Show us how to fight with a sword.
Please show us.
(Let me see.)
- He must've practiced a lot. - He's left-handed.
- I just swing it like this. - Face the camera.
(The basic move is simple.)
To make it look fabulous, I spin the sword like this.
(Behold. This is the head of Hwangdo Fortress.)
- Show us. - You're holding it backwards.
Oh, you're right.
I didn't even notice it.
So this is what Seol Hyun likes about him.
That's right. She likes it when he acts like that.
- I see. - Seol Hyun, I'm doing my best.
Are you watching this, Seol Hyun?
I'll make sure to buy you a phone case.
- She asked me to buy one for her. - I see.
- That's funny. - Show us some more skills.
Seol Hyun must earn more than you do.
- That was the only skill I have. - Do it again.
- This is the basic move. - Right.
All right.
Oh, I'm holding it backwards.
I didn't know Seol Hyun liked jokes like this.
So you hit the enemies with the back of your sword to kill them.
- Right. - Seong Woo, show us your skills.
- Seong Woo uses a spear. - In fact,
They filmed me in a way that makes me look good.
- I'm not that good. - I understand.
- By the way, this spear... - When we filmed the movie...
- Was there lighting above you? - Thrust. And pull back.
- But that's... - That's a bayonet skill.
Thrust, and pull back.
- But that's... - That's a bayonet skill.
- What was that? - That's a bayonet skill.
- "A bayonet skill". - You learned it in the military.
- You learned it in the military. - This is North Korean technique.
- If you did that... - And something like this.
- Seong Woo, you got killed. - And...
Then I can block it.
(It looks like a comedy skit in "Humor 1st Street".)
- What a mess. - I'm sorry.
- Ansi Fortress... - I used to practice this.
- Here we go. - Things like this.
He practiced some skills.
- He's good. - He's sloppy.
- Bayonet skills. - Seong Woo's face turned red.
- He's timid. - That's all.
- You learned bayonet skills? - I was a drill sergeant.
- Oh, he was a drill sergeant. - It makes sense now.
- No wonder his stance was good. - Exactly.
- He's good. - And this.
(He got attention thanks to his position in the military.)
- It must help you learn jazz dance. - His stance...
- You mean martial art skills? - Yes.
- What is he doing? - He has a good sense of humor.
(It was a comedy skit after all.)
(Smiling)
Joo Hyuk took over something from In Sung.
What was it?
Oh, the horse.
- I see. - Oh, right.
I didn't know at first. I rode the horse...
- that In Sung rode before me. - In "A Frozen Flower",
- I rode a horse named Gang Ho. - Oh, right.
I rode the same horse in our new movie.
- It's a very smart horse. - How long do horses live?
- It's still alive. - I think they live for decades.
- He's right. - Oh, I see.
So the same horse appeared in your new movie too?
- Yes. - That's amazing.
- The horse lived really long. - Exactly.
- I rode the same horse... - It must've improved a lot.
It doesn't feel afraid.
- It's a middle aged horse. - Yes.
It lifted up its head when the director said, "Ready."
- It ran when it heard, "Action." - That must've been convenient.
- I just had to hold onto it. - It also complained...
when we had to film the same scene several times.
It threw a tantrum.
(Stop repeating it.)
It didn't poop while the camera was rolling, right?
- Exactly. - The horse was careful.
I didn't know the same horse appeared in this movie.
- Right. - He's good at horse riding.
So is Joo Hyuk. He learned horse riding for this movie.
He had some intense scenes where he rides a horse fast,
and he did a great job.
- When it comes to horse riding, - That's right.
- Tae Hyun is better than us. - Is Tae Hyun good at that?
- Are you good at horse riding? - You played in a horse movie.
- I played a jockey. - That's right.
- What's the movie title? - "Champ".
- I rode a racehorse. - It wasn't long ago, right?
- Did you learn it? - Right.
- Yes. I rode a horse... - It's really difficult.
- running around the track. - It's also dangerous.
Who else played in that movie?
Su Jeong appeared in the movie too.
- Lim Soo Jung? - No. A child actress.
Was her movie "Radish Kimchi"?
(Was her movie "Radish Kimchi"?)
- "Radish Kimchi"? - It's "Lump of Sugar".
"Lump of Sugar".
- It's "Lump of Sugar". - They're in the same shape.
- They look similar, right? - There's no such movie...
called "Radish Kimchi".
- I was thinking of a cube. - That was unexpected.
- Exactly. - I couldn't seem to...
- remember the word. - My gosh.
If you give a horse radish kimchi, it would spit it out.
You should give horses sugar cubes.
We could get enough airtime for two episodes.
You remembered the movie title as a form, not the word.
- A cube is the main character. - It's a cube.
(The lead actress is none other than Lim Soo Jung.)
It must've been hard for Seong Woo to film "The Great Battle".
I heard you got canker sores in your mouth.
- How long did you film it? - It took us...
- about seven months. - How many shoots?
- We took over 100 shoots. - I see.
The thing is... Since we filmed...
- every scene outdoors, - I see.
the weather condition greatly affected the filming.
Also, I had to put dirt on my face all the time.
That's why...
I see. All right.
- Well... - We won't make two episodes.
- That's not true. - It's too soon to tell.
We can add some footage while we're talking.
We can also add Seol Min Suk's lecture about Li Shimin.
(I'll help you get enough airtime for two episodes.)
Joo Hyuk almost broke his tooth while filming the movie. Really?
His tooth?
- Yes. My tooth... - I see.
While I was eating squid.
- During a break. - Gosh. I thought he got hurt...
- while filming an action scene. - While filming in Goseong,
- He ate a squid? - we came to know a fisherman.
- A young fisherman. - Il Seok.
Right. Il Seok...
- gave us squid and dried filefish. - Why did he mention his name?
These days, squid is very hard to get.
- It's really hard to get. - That's true.
- So he ate it. - It's expensive.
I was filming an action scene.
- I was eating while he was filming. - When I came back, he said...
- his cavity filling... Right? - I see.
- That's right. - His filling fell out.
I went to a dental clinic the next day to fix it.
But a week after that,
I traveled to Japan with my friend.
I see.
We joked around with each other, and we went overboard.
Suddenly, we began a judo spar.
Why would they do that for fun? Go on.
- I envy his youth. - My goodness.
- That's unusual. - While sparring,
My friends and I used to wrestle.
my friend threw me down.
I hit my head on the floor, and my filling fell out again.
- So your front teeth are broken? - No. My filling fell out.
- From the tooth here. - Again?
I fixed it, but it fell out again.
You had to fix it again.
So I came back to Korea the next day to fix my tooth again.
I thought he lost several front teeth, but it wasn't the case.
- We usually think of a front tooth. - Exactly.
- That's normal. - Right.
(There's a big difference between front and back teeth.)
Joo Hyuk cried his heart out while drinking with the other guests.
It was not long ago.
- Why did you cry? - He cries a lot.
- It wasn't like that. - I wasn't there, was I?
No. You weren't there.
- You left early. - I had a drink and left.
We had a busy schedule since the morning that day...
- with work regarding the movie. - On the day Lee Kwang Soo came?
Yes.
I was so sleepy.
It was between 4am and 5am.
I kept yawning, and so tears came out.
I wiped my tears with tissue.
I ended up piling up this much of tissues as if I cried a lot.
- Because you were sleepy? - Yes.
- I was so sleepy. - His stories...
including the one about his tooth...
His stories have unexpected and boring endings.
That's right.
He broke his tooth while eating squid.
I thought he'd talk about the friendship with them.
I improved my mental strength.
You tend to shed tears when you yawn.
- It's not that I intend to. - I see.
Byung Eun had a hard time because of Seong Woo.
(Byung Eun had a hard time because of Seong Woo.)
I had to hold back laughter.
There's a scene where I give a speech.
This is my story.
Let me tell a story too.
Until when should I just listen to the others?
But he asked me the question.
(In Sung waited for a question for him.)
(Joo Hyuk also...)
(That's not a question for me.)
(It's another question for Joo Hyuk.)
But he asked me the question.
Then you tell the story.
- Go ahead. - He's so conscious about Seol Hyun.
He does everything for her.
My goodness.
(They have excessive information and passion.)
- Seol Hyun. - Go ahead.
- I'm good. - You tell the story.
- What's the point? - I'll tell the story.
- I shouldn't tell the story. - Go ahead.
- Byung Eun, you tell it. - Go ahead.
- Byung Eun, you do it. - While I was performing...
- Go on. - I was giving a speech.
- Let's see. - And he kept laughing.
He laughed crazily because...
he farted and everything.
- And... - While he was giving a speech?
He did things that interfere with...
other actors' performances.
The problem was that there was a fortress wall.
If we stood against the wall, we'd be surrounded by the soldiers.
So the staff built something for us that looks like a veranda.
But it was too small for all of us. We were wearing this large armor.
There were 3 or 4 more people there with the 4 of us.
All those men were standing there together...
so close to each other like this.
However, we had to perform in serious scenes.
- "Let's fight!" - It made us all laugh.
- The situation... - We knew he's not a serious man.
When one of us started laughing...
The camera was rolling and someone behind me...
(Holding back laughter)
I heard the sound like this.
Especially when we took a medium shot of me,
Seong Woo was in front of me, so half of his face was filmed.
The army of 50,000 soldiers was coming towards us.
(Acting enthusiastically)
Seong Woo's head was shaking.
(Giggling)
- Everyone else started laughing. - He was laughing.
(When one starts laughing, everyone else laughs too.)
With this face.
So the director said, "Cut. Cut. That wasn't good."
"Let's do it again."
We had to put on a determined face without looking at anything.
- I felt so awkward. - You filmed that scene...
- separately from the other scenes. - Right.
- It was hard to connect the scenes. - Also, we used a chroma key shot.
- So... - Oh, right. Of course.
We didn't even know how many were coming. We heard they were many.
So we asked how many soldiers were coming.
- "How many are coming?" - "How many are they?"
"How many are they?"
- You mean the enemy? - Yes.
"How many are they?"
(We'll put on a face according to the number of enemies.)
As it was an army from Tang,
- it must've been very large. - Yes, an army of 100,000 soldiers.
The actors who played Tang's soldiers spoke Chinese, right?
- Yes, they did. - Of course.
In some dramas, Tang's soldiers...
march while speaking Korean.
- In some period dramas. - Yes.
- That's not good. - Every actor speaks Korean.
- "Kill all of them." Like this? - It's different these days.
- "Tell them to speed up." - "Hurry up!"
It's a high budget movie. They shouldn't do that.
There's no one like Mr. Wang, right?
In Sung was impressed by the staff members'...
What exactly does this mean?
You were impressed...
- by their professionalism. - He was impressed.
Among the staff members on set,
- some were quite young. - Right.
They worked so hard without sparing themselves...
for this movie.
They did their best even though they got blisters on their hands.
I was very moved by them.
I became fond of them.
I wanted to be even nicer to them.
Did you guys pitch in some money to treat them to a meal?
- Yes, of course. - He bought padded jackets too.
- "Padded jackets"? - For the staff members.
- Long padded jackets. - When he bought the padded jackets,
did you guys just compliment him?
We didn't receive it.
That's not what he meant.
Didn't you think of pitching in?
He didn't.
Should I have pitched in?
I thought you'd pitch in, but you didn't.
- You're a top star now. - You should do it now.
- I had no idea. - From now on,
you should always be conscious about it.
- You should. - "Since he bought it for them,"
- "should I buy something as well?" - That's right.
- "At least a hand warmer?" - Seong Woo,
start with a short padded jacket.
- Okay. - Tae Hyun...
- bought the staff gold bars. - Right.
- You should treat the staff. - You should do things like that.
Bae Doo Na bought chairs for the staff members.
Back then, he was the model for the brand of the padded jacket.
But I paid for all of them.
Of course.
The company didn't give them away. I paid for all of them.
Of course. They couldn't have give that many away.
- Like I said, I paid for it. - Then that's all that matters.
He changed his stance quickly.
"Of course."
He didn't get the padded jacket for free.
- Start with a windproof jacket. - Okay.
(A journey of becoming a top star begins with the first step.)
- I'll look into it. - Joo Hyuk said he learned a lot...
from the other actors while filming "The Great Battle".
Especially, he was surprised by Seong Woo's vocalization skills.
He has great vocalization skills.
- Seong Woo... - He started as a theater actor.
We finished preparing the battle on the fortress wall.
I saw the scene in the trailer.
Yes. It's the scene in the trailer.
He said, "Let's fight!"
His voice was amazing.
It was loud enough to resonate throughout the town.
- Can you show us? - "Let's fight."
I wonder how it sounds in this studio.
- Okay. - Say, "Let's fight" first,
and then say, "Let's make two episodes."
"Let's make two episodes."
Isn't he good? Isn't he good at hosting a variety show?
- But we can't... - Tae Hyun isn't an actor here.
get enough airtime for two episodes.
- It's impossible. - He's an entertainer here.
- "Let's make two episodes!" - That won't happen.
- Show us. - Just like you did in the movie.
- Say the first line for now. - Just like you did in the movie.
(He realizes the situation.)
Which camera should he look at?
An army of 50,000 soldiers are behind you.
"Let's fight!"
"Let's make two episodes!"
(He shouted out in deep desperation.)
(Will you still not make this into two episodes?)
(If it's aired only 1 week when they hope for 2 so much,)
(it will hurt their feelings, right?)
(So please stop trying too hard to get more airtime.)
(I'll be outside.)
(If you go out, this won't work.)
(We still have a lot of interesting stories to tell.)
(We also have a lot of funny stories to tell.)
(Laughing)
(It would be sad if it were aired only one week.)
(A Wednesday night without Radio Star must feel so long.)
("Without Armors" will continue next week.)
