(This program is a documentary that captures the journey of...)
(two renowned show hosts, who were once beloved by the entire nation,)
(looking for someone to feed them dinner.)
- This is Itaewon. - Itaewon.
This is Itaewon, and Gyeongridan-gil is behind the station.
Also, if you go down the road, there's a hospital.
Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital.
- If you go down that way, - Yes.
Sul Woon Do ran a restaurant before.
(Too much information)
- Across the street. - Yes.
That's the famous ad agency.
- Yes. The agency. - Yes.
All their staffs are outside.
(But there's music.)
The agency staffs are outside.
It wasn't probably easy to get the permission...
to perform here.
Who's performing?
(Dancing)
He's our guest.
(He's trying to win the heart of the ad agency.)
(I'm short and ugly)
(He's too obvious.)
Gyeong Gyu.
Jae Seok's right arm.
(I know.)
(I'm happy)
(Because I'm short)
It's a lie.
(Laughing)
Hey, stop.
I'll turn it off.
(Singing)
Stop it.
- Haha. - He dares to sing here.
(Laughing)
It probably wasn't easy to get a permission to perform.
- Haha. You should stop. - You're amazing, Haha.
- Haha. Come here. - Hey.
- Hello. - Stop it.
- Stop it. - It's embarrassing.
- "Infinity Challenge". - "Infinity Challenge".
He appeared like a comet shouting "Infinity Challenge".
"That kid can't go anywhere alone."
He seized the weekend entertainment show with his kid character.
(Singing)
He somehow seized the hometown of reggae.
He's become the master of reggae.
Jae Seok's right arm, Haha...
is Gyeong Gyu and Ho Dong's dinner mate today.
- Long time no see. - How are you?
I could tell it was you from far away. You were singing your song.
It's ridiculous because...
you're glad to meet Haha.
He called me a few days ago...
and said he'll see me on Wednesday.
He said he's going to be on Let's Eat Dinner Together.
He was asking you to treat him nice.
- No. - We don't do that.
Me neither.
- Because... - You called me first.
I can be here because I'm in that level.
Haha. You're on a C-list.
Do you know what it takes to be on A-list?
- I refused it a few times. - What?
- So... - Refuse?
- The director and writers were... - A few times.
- Actually... - like, "How can you refuse us?"
I don't need to make people know my name anymore.
Hey. There are so many people in your class.
What's wrong with you?
After you refused us...
Why didn't you refuse us until the end? Just leave.
Why didn't you refuse us until the end?
- They were begging me. - What?
You need to have a pride.
That was out of blue.
- Oh, my friend is waiting alone. - Really?
- I cast a tall friend. - Really?
- Yes. - It's a coincidence...
Come on.
(Come on.)
Hello.
(The tall friend appears.)
It takes time to get there.
- Take your time. - He's my friend.
- How are you? - Hello.
(Who's this familiar face?)
He's a president. He makes his own decisions.
The leader of the stand-up comedy,
and a celebrity that heats up social media every day.
Along with deep melancholy eyes,
he has unique insanity and resentment.
The roue of YG Entertainment.
Yoo Byung Jae is visiting Let's Eat Dinner Together again.
(Yoo Byung Jae, the roue of YG Entertainment)
He's the tallest among short people.
Didn't you bring Jang Hoon with you?
- Are you here alone? - Yes.
Why didn't you bring Seo Jang Hoon?
I'm probably about 2m and 12cm right now.
You should stand next to Jang Hoon.
Why is this shaking?
I'm dying. This requires so much energy.
- Is there someone inside? - No.
Oh, like this.
Don't capture this.
(2 hours ago)
(He put on the height.)
Actually,
we have a small party...
- for short people. - Right.
- Really? - Yes.
Shorry.
- Me. - Byung Jae.
- Yang Se Hyeong, Cho Sae Ho. - Yang Se Hyeong and stuff.
Haha is the Seo Jang Hoon of the group.
Yes. I'm the center.
He's gained a lot of weight.
- I've gained 10kg. - What happened?
I have good appetite. I'm eating a lot.
When I saw Byung Jae in the waiting room today,
I thought he got botox.
- No. It's purely weight. - Yes.
- Read it. - I'm worried.
Hurry up. We're running out of time.
"Have dinner..."
"in Hannam-dong."
- Let's go. - Shall we?
Let's go.
- Jang Hoon. - Give me the mic.
Why are you so happy?
(He seems way too happy.)
- It's sad. - I won't die
- I won't die - It's not funny for me.
- It's sad. - This is what sad but funny means.
My goodness.
Today's town with tall people.
Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
The new rising northwest of Hannam-dong is...
a place for official residences and embassies from all over the world...
that foreign and domestic cultures interact in a symbiotic way.
It's a unique town where old stores and sensible stores...
gather to create the coexistence of uptown and downtown.
Recently, a street known as the second Garosu-gil became popular...
that the fashion people from all over the world are paying attention.
In the hot town of Hannam-dong,
will they be able to overcome...
the wall of dining with small party friends?
Let's Eat Dinner Together, episode 86.
Beyond the Wall.
- It's a nice place. - Do you come to Itaewon often?
Honestly, I can't come often.
I live in Hongdae, so I stay there mostly.
He's become very bright.
I warned him recently.
- What did you say? - He was on "Men on a Mission".
- He looks like he's nervous. - Yes.
His character made me look very scary.
Even though he's not scared, he acted like he was scared of me.
He makes you the bad guy.
People almost misunderstood.
It almost went wrong.
Because I heard he swears a lot when he performs.
"Swear a lot."
He's very brave.
(Don't be deceived by Byung Jae's eyes.)
This area is becoming popular.
- Really? - This is no joke.
I never thought Itaewon would change so much.
No one ever knew Hannam-dong would change so much.
There's even a supermarket.
They didn't take that down on purpose.
- That's the swag. - Yes.
Isn't that a scene from an old drama?
- When you watch an old drama. - Right.
- A drama during the 80s or 90s. - Hello.
- Like "The Moon of Seoul". - Yes.
How long have you been running this supermarket?
- This? - Yes.
It first opened 40 years ago.
40 years.
That's my age.
You never changed the sign for 40 years?
I didn't change it so that people can remember it.
For people to remember the name.
- This... - It's been so long.
This street was never like this before. It was a residential area.
It's been about two years since it changed.
- I know. - Right. It became hot recently.
- Yes. - This is at the corner.
The fancier other signs become,
the more special this sign looks.
It stands out even more.
People post it on the internet a lot.
- Right. - That's the swag.
Do you own this building?
Of course.
(The swag of the landlord)
It's been 45 years.
How much did it rise?
- I'm really curious. - If you don't mind.
I didn't make much money, but I ran this for 45 years.
I was able to get this one.
That's more than enough.
There's a guest house upstairs.
Her permission is necessary to develop this area.
- Why is that? - Right.
You call it jammed land.
It's the jammed land.
She's standing right there.
Is this the best spot?
- Of course. - The position?
You must be proud.
Congratulations.
- We'll leave now. - Thank you.
On the left,
it's sophisticated.
- It's nice because it contrasts. - I know.
This is terrific.
It has changed so much.
Itself is a hot place.
Hot.
Swag.
Hot.
(This place with cafes and bars...)
(to enjoy the fun of taste and beauty)
- Oh, this... - It's a bathhouse.
That's what it was like in the past.
- It's renovated. - Well done. It's wonderful.
It's a good interior design.
- Hello. - That was a tub.
I'm sorry.
Was it a bathhouse before?
No. It's only the theme.
- It's the theme. - They made it.
That place is beautiful.
- Is that a cafe? - That's...
What?
You can have beer.
- It's a bar. - I see.
That's also wonderful.
(Unique stores make you turn your head.)
(Alley with swag, people with swag)
- It's wonderful. - Yes.
This is wonderful.
- What's this? - Mural.
- Each alley is fun. - Yes.
Wonderful and exotic alleys...
get them excited as if they're traveling.
- Right? - Haha.
Where are you from?
- Taiwan. - Taiwan. Okay.
Have a nice day.
- I love you. - I love you.
That's cool.
- That's cool. - You're popular.
No, sir.
Did you pay them?
Did your agency hire foreigners?
No, sir.
You're a B-list celebrity.
Do foreigners recognize you when you go overseas?
He's incredible.
He's popular in Vietnam because of "Running Man".
"Running Man" is about Kwang Soo.
Him too.
- You can say that. - What?
Lee Kwang Soo.
- I mean... - Everyone's mistaken,
but I'm just me.
Right.
(I am who I am.)
(Haha can only be this proud in the back alley.)
Look how big Haha has become.
You don't even need to mention Yoo Jae Suk along with your name.
- I am who I am. - Yes, I've become independent.
Yes, of course.
- There are many... - There are some houses here.
I'm sensing something from this area.
I think those are embassies over there.
- Is that so? - I see the national flags.
So this is where all the embassies are located.
That's the Saudi Arabian Cultural Center.
This is the embassy.
This is the Daesagwan-ro.
- Yes, I can see that. - It says so in the above.
(Daesagwan-ro)
Consisting of 30 national embassies and cultural centers,
on Daesagwan-ro in Hannam-dong,
there is an upscale residential neighborhood...
including numerous embassy complex.
Which national flag is that?
What country has blue, white, and green on its flag?
Most countries tend to have those colors on their flags.
- It's Uzbekistan. - Uzbekistan.
It looks very fancy from the outside.
Black and gold.
- Haha. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hi, is this the Uzbekistan...
- Do you work here? - Yes.
I'm surprised that they recognize us.
(These celebrities are surprised from their global popularity.)
(This celebrity is also surprised by it.)
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Your Korean is excellent.
Where did you study Korean?
- Did you learn Korean here? - Yes, I did.
(Chubby Ho Dong, short Haha...)
(and even old Gyeong Gyu seem to be working hard.)
(I don't get to work as hard...)
(and I am genuinely happy about it.)
(The end of the fan meeting excluding happy Byung Jae.)
- This is nice. - This is an apartment.
Hello.
(They found an apartment right beside the embassy.)
He's a foreigner.
Do you know who we are?
Do you know who I am?
- He knows you. - Where are you from?
- Saudi Arabia. - Saudi Arabia.
We're from JTBC. Do you know JTBC?
(I don't know.)
Son Suk Hee.
(JTBC is Son Suk Hee.)
(He gets it right away.)
Newsroom. Newsroom.
He has a problem.
Celebrities are eponyms, aren't they?
Goodbye.
See you.
There really are a lot of embassies here.
It looks very luxurious.
Taekwondo girl!
Show us some moves.
- Maruchi Arachi? - She's so cute.
Can you speak Korean fluently?
We speak English.
- No Korean? - No.
Where are you from?
- She said she doesn't speak Korean. - I just came from there.
- She just came from there. - No, I came from Kyrgyzstan.
- Which country are you from? - Kyrgyzstan.
- Islam. - Kyrgyzstan.
- Kyrgyzstan. - Yes.
Kyrgyzstan.
- It's in Central Asia, right? - Yes.
- Center Asia? - Yes.
- He said Center Asia. - Center Asia.
Isn't it correct?
He was close.
Isn't Chungang University called Center University?
Is it?
Isn't it? Doesn't "chungang" mean center?
Yes, "chungang" means center.
Isn't this the Switzerland Embassy?
You're right, it is. It looks beautiful.
- There're so many embassies here. - Is Switzerland an island?
- Is Switzerland an island? - Is it?
No, I don't think so.
Are you asking that because it ends with "land"?
Then everywhere that has "land" at the end will be an island.
(Haha is surprised by how clever Byung Jae is.)
You're really clever.
Doesn't land mean it's an island?
- Let's head to Leeum Art Museum. - Sounds great.
This neighborhood is past the hill in Itaewon.
Yes, it is.
This area is...
well-known to be the neighborhood for the rich.
I only saw it from the television.
It feels similar to Pyeongchang-dong and Seongbuk-dong.
It definitely does.
Across from Daesagwan-ro, near the art museum,
the neighborhood composed of high end complex is...
well-known as a traditional upscale village.
Look how high the walls are.
What is this place?
Who would live in this place?
- C.E.O. Park lives here. - Mr. Park.
If I ring the bell, he will come out and greet me.
- Isn't this a castle? - The walls are so high here.
It says it's on urgent sale.
Doesn't it say urgent sale?
- I don't think it's this house. - It says it's commercial.
(Urgent commercial property for sale, 970 dollars for monthly rent.)
- 970 dollars for monthly rent. - That's definitely not the house.
970 dollars for a monthly rent is inexpensive.
You still think it's talking about this house?
It said it was urgent.
This place is...
When I first saw Yoo Byung Jae...
doing stand-up comedy by himself, I was shocked.
Gyeong Gyu is the 1st generation and you are the 2nd of stand-up comedy.
Yes, you're right.
To be honest, because there is such a huge time gap between us,
I never had the chance to see him do stand-up comedy.
If he is planning to do one in near future, I will definitely attend.
What was your first impression of Lee Gyeong Gyu?
From my personal perspective, there are two types of...
senior comedians.
They are Ju Byeong Jin and Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- For me... - What type is Ju Byeong Jin?
He's very quiet and doesn't hurt other's feelings.
He is very polite and charismatic, yet he manages to...
make everyone laugh.
We hurt each other a lot.
- Tearing each other apart. - He paved the path.
Park Myung Soo couldn't have survived if it wasn't for him.
How dare you compare me with Park Myung Soo?
No, that's not what I meant.
Don't even mention his last name.
He is way lower than my league.
A long time ago at MBC, I used to call him over and...
whenever I told him to sing, he would sing like this.
Then I would tell him to stop and go.
But Myung Soo followed your path as a comedian.
What are you talking about? He is soulless.
He only rants to make people laugh, but he doesn't actually mean it.
On the other side, I actually mean it.
- You do it for real? - I'm actually expressing anger.
What Park Myung Soo does is an act.
- He's acting. - He does it to make people laugh.
We have nothing in common.
(He doesn't approve him.)
Gyeong Gyu, what do you think of Byung Jae?
- As a comedian. - He's brilliant.
The fact that he actually went to Byung Jae's concert explains it all.
I've always attended concerts.
Out of the entire concert, which part was the most memorable?
During the concert, Byung Jae talked with a voice actor.
He also did some narration as well.
That's a part of my show.
I bought that idea very highly.
Those ideas were very sensational and impressive.
I should use that some time.
(Gyeong Gyu is seeking for a chance to copy Byung Jae's idea.)
It would be nice if you guys do a collaboration in the future.
- That would be great. - It would be such an honor.
It's a mix up of generations.
What do you think, Gyeong Gyu?
I was actually thinking about it. Byung Jae could be used as a bait.
Byung Jae's name has the power to attract the audience for sure.
- It definitely has. - All right.
How do we separate the teams?
It's easy. I've already been with Byung Jae last time.
- You're right. - I'll team up with Haha this time.
- It's Haha's first time. - Yes.
I would be glad to be with anyone.
I can provide you some tips.
Today, I really want to feel Gyeong Gyu's power.
I want to evidence your power with my own eyes.
Hi, Gyeong Gyu. What are you doing here?
Hello, chairman.
- What brings you here? - I was just walking by with Haha.
- I'll be out in a minute. - You're a godfather to all of us.
It's a little upsetting how small you have become in front of money.
The bow was a little bit disappointing.
No, money is everything.
(Respectful)
He's actually younger than me.
(Age is just a number in front of money.)
He's five years younger than me.
- Hello, sir. - Don't lose your dignity.
I don't have any dignity to lose.
"Han" stands for Han River and "Nam"stands for Mount Nam in Hannam.
In Hannam-dong, we are...
Let's Eat Dinner Together.
(Let's Eat Dinner Together)
After receiving the spiritual strength of Han River and Mount Nam,
it is now time to overcome the walls of Hannam-dong.
This place is overwhelming.
This place?
Do you know this place?
It's my friend's.
- Let's go there then. - Where?
Sure, let's go. I don't mind.
- Really? - Yes.
I am so excited, Gyeong Gyu.
- Should we start with this place? - I want to see your fame and power.
I think he's regretting his words right now.
- Haha. - Yes.
- Let's go. - Let's go to the one on the left.
- No, no, no. - Stop heading towards the right.
- No. - Show your fame and power.
I don't know this place. Let's go to this one here.
- No. - No, let's go to that one.
- Come on, Gyeong Gyu. - You guys have to try and get in.
- Show us how to do it. - How to do what?
- That house over there. - I really want to feel your power.
- You want me to show you the way? - Yes.
You're the godfather of variety shows.
I don't have any tips to teach you guys.
- Just one time. - It's your job to do it.
- Gyeong Gyu, please. - Why are you doing this to me?
- I just want to feel it. - Feel what?
Show them how it is.
How you ring the bell?
Look at the wall over here.
My goodness.
He's going.
- Gyeong Gyu... - The height of the wall...
shouldn't make you feel small.
That's unnecessary.
- We are just equal human beings. - I think your left hand is shaking.
- No, it's not. - It's shaking.
- How often did you come here? - I used to come here often.
(Hesitating) Is
there a problem?
Hurry.
Why am I doing this right now?
Tell them Gyeong Gyu is here.
(Ringing the bell)
Hello, sir. Sir.
I don't think they answered yet.
This scene should be used as a preview.
- Hello? - Yes.
Hello. I am Lee Gyeong Gyu and...
- I am a comedian. - Hello.
Hello.
You're aware of our program, right?
We've already eaten.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Why did you eat so early?
- I wish I didn't. - That's too bad.
Did the chairman go out?
(He actually asked about the chairman.)
- I'm not sure. - I see.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Bless you. Thank you very much.
That was awesome.
That was a nice conversation.
A nice conversation?
He sounded so scared.
Gyeong Gyu...
- I didn't know he would answer. - That was brave.
"Did the chairman go out?"
He's not home.
(Thank goodness he's not home.)
Let's go.
(Searching for another house)
- Is this a different house? - Yes.
- Should we try it? - Okay.
I think they are young people.
- Looking from the alcohol here. - The alcohol drinks.
(Ringing the bell)
- Just looking at it... - It's the same.
There's someone coming out.
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
- What's up? - Hey.
- Can you speak Korean? - No.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Portugal.
- Portugal. - Ronaldo.
Portugal.
Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo.
Nice to meet you.
Nice.
(It seems to be going smoothly.)
We're from JTBC.
Do you know JTBC?
Yes, I heard about it.
I heard about it.
Do you know me?
- No. - No.
- Do you know him? - No.
Why not?
(Why on earth do you not know me?)
Do you know me?
- No. - Why not?
You're funny.
(He won with one sentence.)
You're very witty.
Did you have dinner?
- No, not yet. - This program is...
Why?
What's your name?
- Paolo. - Paolo.
Can you have dinner together in your house?
When? Now?
- Yes. - Soon.
- Come on. - I'm going to order food actually.
With the People of Delivery app?
Yes.
(People around the world are uniting with the delivery app.)
Sorry. Yes.
- Delivery. Okay. - Yes.
I'm alone tonight.
My wife is not here so I'm eating...
(He has to refuse because he has to eat alone without his wife.)
Excuse me. I'm very busy.
Goodbye.
(Goodbye.)
Okay. Me, too.
- Thank you, witty guy. - Thank you.
Why do you live in Korea?
In Hannam-dong, especially?
- Why? - Yes.
Because it's the best.
It's very quiet and close to Itaewon.
- Partying. - Clubbing.
Yes, of course.
When your wife is asleep?
(Yes.)
- Thank you, Paolo. - No problem.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
He's very chill.
Am I going to see myself in the television now?
- Yes. - Sure.
- See you guys. - See you again.
(Unhappy)
(The godfather seems very upset.)
What's wrong?
Hey.
He said no.
Why are you starting a conversation? We're out of time.
- He was a foreigner... - It was fun.
- It's a variety show... - He's not even listening.
(He's ringing the bell without listening because there's no time.)
(Ringing the bell)
He's very funny.
You have to passionate about your job.
- Portugal. - Hello.
- Yes? - Hello, ma'am.
I'm not sure if you know me but I run on Sundays and...
I lost my Saturday job.
I'm the local sheriff of Mapo district.
Do you recognize me by any chance?
I don't know.
The house owners are not available at the moment.
They must be outside.
Sorry to bother you, ma'am. Have a good evening.
Byung Jae, you're up.
Should I try this time?
(It's Byung Jae's time to try now.)
It's harder than I expected.
I think they just got here.
Hello?
- Hello. - Yes?
(Another foreigner again)
Excuse me, I am Yoo Byung Jae.
- Yes. - I am from the YG Entertainment.
Yes.
Excuse me. Do you know me?
No, I don't know you.
Tell her about this program.
This is a JTBC variety show aired on television.
- Okay. - Channel 15.
And we...
Did you eat dinner?
No, not yet.
What's going on? I see a lot of crowd. What's happening?
We have...
Can we eat dinner together?
I have a guest from India.
From India?
I have a guest coming from India.
There's a guest coming from India.
That won't work.
She already has a guest.
Thank you very much.
(Trying the house with a barking dog.)
The dog scares me.
- We'll try then. - No, I'll go.
Isn't it our turn?
No, it's theirs.
Haha.
(Waiting in front of the bell.)
(What's happening?)
Wait. There's the police.
The police?
- Hello. - I think someone called the police.
(Surprised)
(I don't know any of you guys.)
I don't know any of you.
Move. I have to pretend to be one of the employees.
Hey.
- Let's run away. - Let's go.
(The godfather succeeds to make a scene with just one police car.)
That was fun.
When I watched this show on television,
I didn't understand why people said hello under pressure.
I thought they could have been more confident.
But it doesn't work that way, does it?
(In the 1st place of cowardness, Yoo Byung Jae gives it a try.)
(You can already feel the pity after Byung Jae rings the bell.)
There are many buttons.
Who is it?
- Hello, my name is Yoo Byung Jae. - Hello, my name is Yoo Byung Jae.
(The godfather mimics Yoo Byung Jae.)
Yes.
Do you know me by any chance?
The owners are not home right now.
Okay.
Do you know me though?
Yes, I saw you on television.
Thank you. Bless you.
- Okay. Thank you. - Thank you.
(It was a failure again.)
They're not home?
Do I have to show them how it works again?
Do you want to go?
Let me show them how it's done.
(Ringing the bell without hesitation)
That was awesome.
You look so calm.
They're here.
- Who is it? - Hello, ma'am.
- I am Lee Gyeong Gyu. - Yes.
We're shooting Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Ma'am.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Ma'am, this is Haha.
I know you, Mr. Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- Let's Eat Dinner Together. - We're shooting in Hannam-dong.
- Yes, Let's Eat Dinner Together. - In Hannam-dong.
- Is that so? - Yes, for the summer.
We're looking for warm hearted people.
Which is why we are here.
We're going to ask you the most important question.
Have you eaten yet?
No, we haven't.
But, the parents of this house left Korea to shoot a commercial.
- To shoot of a commercial? - There's only me and a kid.
I love kids. I have two of my own.
- They went to shoot a commercial? - Are they directors?
Yes, they work for a production company.
A production company.
They're directors.
He's a movie director too.
I know.
I'm just concerned that his past movies didn't work out for him.
- It will work out. - She's concerned about him.
It will work out.
I'm very sorry,
but there's only fried rice for the baby.
I always thought if there was a chance like this,
I wanted to invite you guys inside.
- Really? - I'm sorry.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
That was impressive, Gyeong Gyu.
I respect you.
(The godfather proved his power.)
We should have entered the house.
That would have boosted your ego.
- I was... - You look very powerful right now.
I was halfway there.
I was halfway there, right?
Almost.
You looked like a pro.
(But...)
- I thought he was answering... - He's trying.
No one's answering.
Maybe no one's inside.
(Ringing the bell)
(Waiting patiently)
They're not inside.
Can I get in?
He just left.
(Another decline)
Did you have dinner yet?
We already ate.
(The Korean family already ate.)
Confronting the obstacle of Let's Eat Dinner Together,
the dinner mates are becoming smaller.
(Ringing the bell carefully)
There you go.
I don't hear anything.
It's time to tell them who you are, Haha.
Tell them you're friends with Yoo Jae Seok.
Tell them that.
Yoo Jae Seok will be Yoo Jae Seok. I am who I am.
(Trying hard)
(But no one is answering.)
I don't feel good about today.
Was there a time when both of you guys failed?
No, never.
Perhaps today could be the day.
It's been three years and no such thing happened.
If we don't succeed,
it will dramatically impact our show.
You guys should feel responsible.
It's all because of you guys.
- We should go to Hongdae. - Hongdae?
I think Hongdae will be...
(It's because of me if it we get in, but it's all on you if it fails.)
- It's time. - The size...
Let's get in.
(I'll show you how it's done.)
(Ringing the bell)
(He seems very determined.)
It's time.
- Who is it? - Hello.
This is Haha from Infinity Challenge and
Running Man.
(Haha is lining up his hit shows.)
This is Haha from Running Man.
(He seems jealous.)
Do you recognize me?
No, I don't.
(His ambitious attempt ends up in failure.)
Ma'am,
I am shooting a show called Let's Eat Dinner Together.
There's no one home.
There's no one inside?
Thank you. This was Haha.
I don't feel good about today.
Are you planning to mention Infinity Challenge and...
Running Man from now on?
(He is embarrassed.)
It's been some time since I heard Infinity Challenge.
Especially coming out of you, Haha.
I wanted to go there.
- Let's go, Haha. - I'm embarrassed.
(His attempt failed miserably.)
I shouldn't have done that.
This is a usual routine before the success, right?
- Should I try this time? - Sure.
This isn't easy.
The bell sounds nice.
(I have a good feeling about this.)
Wait, I think they're just arriving.
Wait, It's coming to our house.
(Someone is getting off the car.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Are you coming back from work? - Yes.
- We were waiting for you here. - Here?
We're shooting a variety show from JTBC.
- Is this your house? - I live here alone.
- You live here by yourself? - Yes. It's a company housing.
- It's a company housing? - Yes.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Japan.
Where in Japan?
- I'm from Tokyo. - You're from Tokyo.
- Excuse me. - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
I am Lee Gyeong Gyu.
I am a comedian from Korea.
I am aware that you guys are famous.
Have you eaten yet?
No, I am going to eat alone.
- Cup noodles. - Cup noodles.
That must be pretty lonely.
- I live by myself. - Is that so?
I'm going to try explaining in Korean.
- I think he can speak Korean. - Really?
We are going to have dinner togehter.
And have a casual conversation about our lives.
The problem is...
if I plan to be on television,
I need the approval from the company first.
Do you want to ask your company then?
- But it's dinner time. - You're right.
There's no way I can ask them, and it is also time-consuming.
I'm sorry.
- Right, we understand. - I'm sorry.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you for your time. - Thank you.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
(They're back on the road, trying to find another house.)
(It's our turn now.)
Who's this?
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hi. - Tell her who you are.
My name is Haha.
Haha? I know Haha.
Oh, really?
How do you know me?
I've seen you on Korean variety shows.
- She's seen you on variety shows. - Oh, thank you.
(The gate opens.)
(Is she letting them in?)
- Ask her to have dinner with you. - Okay.
- Hi. - Hey, did you have dinner?
We ate dinner already.
- Ready? - Ready?
- Together. - Yes.
No?
- Yes. - She said yes!
- Yes, yes. - Yes.
- You want to have dinner with us? - Yes.
No, we already had dinner.
Oh, she said "already".
- I see, "already". - She said "already", not "ready".
She said "already", Gyeong Gyu.
- "Already". - I see, "already".
Okay.
- Bye. - Bye, thank you.
- Does that mean they've eaten? - She said they already had dinner,
but Gyeong Gyu thought that she was saying she's ready.
I thought the same thing.
Here in Hannam-dong, they're having a hard time...
communicating with the non-Korean residents.
A German family must live here. Let's try it.
- This house? - It must be a German family.
(Because of the German car brand?)
(Will they actually meet a German resident?)
(It doesn't look like anyone is home at the moment.)
- It's our turn now, right? - Yes.
(When will they get to have a conversation in Korean?)
(Please)
It's connecting.
Someone is coming out.
Who is it?
- Hello. - It's a lady.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm Haha, ma'am.
Are you looking for my mom?
Oh, kiddo. I'm Haha.
From the show, "Running Man".
I'm Haha.
He's telling his mom now.
Hey, kids must be so excited to see you.
Hey, I'll give you a name tag.
I have Kim Jong Kook's name tag. Kim Jong Kook, Mr. Capable.
Haha, I like that strategy.
- When you're talking to kids, - Yes.
- you must entice them like that. - Exactly.
Kids would love his name tag.
Of course. What kid wouldn't?
I think he's trying to persuade his mom now.
You guys might get in this time.
Try ringing the doorbell again.
- Yes, press it again. - If they say they can't let you in,
just apologize to them.
(Gyeong Gyu presses a different unit number.)
- Haha, at 7pm... - Are you pressing it for them?
It'll get better after 7:30pm.
Why are you pressing the bell for Unit 201?
- Be quiet. - You want me to be quiet?
(Byung Jae is about to cry.)
Leave us alone. We'll figure it out.
- Be quiet. He's having a bad day. - Yes, just be quiet.
(He instinctively avoids eye contact with them.)
I know we're shooting a show, but we don't have to talk too much.
What's he doing now? He's holding...
- He's taking his microphone off. - I'll take it off.
- Why? - You told me to be quiet.
No, just don't move around. You do need to talk,
- Okay. - Byung Jae.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
- Byung Jae. - Unit 201 isn't answering.
(They hear someone.)
- Ma'am. - Ma'am.
- Hi! - It's our turn now.
- No, they're from Unit 101. - It's our turn.
- You pressed two doorbells. - No, they're from Unit 101.
- Aren't they from Unit 201? - I'll ask them.
- I'll call it a day, then. - Hi, Kiddo. I'm Haha, Uncle Haha.
- He's scary. - I love you. Come here.
- Let me give you a hug. I love you. - Hello, ma'am. I'm Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- You're so cute. - Hello, ma'am.
Ma'am, you live in Unit 101, right?
No, I live in Unit 201.
- It's us! - We actually use both units.
- Right, I knew it. - I see.
Then we should let her decide.
I rang your doorbell, ma'am. I think the kid...
- should decide. - Yes, the kid.
Ma'am, have you had dinner yet by any chance?
- Yes, we have. It's getting late. - Oh, no.
(Why did they even bicker at each other?)
- Hi, kiddo. - A broadcasting station!
(And he hides.)
"A broadcasting station!"
- Bye. - Thank you.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Goodbye.
Gosh, that was funny. By the way,
- let's not fight, guys. - Okay.
Let's stick to the rules and play fair and square.
- Let's respect each other. - Please.
Okay, sounds good.
We should play fair and square. My gosh.
Oh, hi.
- Hello! - Hi.
- Have you eaten yet? - Have you had dinner yet?
- Have you eaten yet? - You haven't, right?
- We're eating now. - Let's eat together.
- Eat with us. - Let's eat together.
- This is Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Hi!
- Hi. - Hello.
- Hi. - We don't need a lot of food.
- Hello. - But we've already eaten a lot.
- Where are you from? - That's enough food for us.
- Jokbal is perfect. - I love jokbal.
Could you please tell us who's in this family?
The owner of this house is... Jennifer.
- Jennifer! - Is this Jennifer's house?
- Hi. - Hi, Jennifer!
How do you do? Nice to meet you.
- Who's the oldest in the family? - Jennifer's parents.
- Oh, her parents. - Jennifer's parents.
- They're visiting from Australia. - Jennifer,
can we have dinner together at your house?
We finished eating, right?
- We're finished. - Are we finished?
- You've already finished eating? - Sorry. We're sorry.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- No, thank you. - No, no.
- I'm sorry. - See you later. Have a good day.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
- Shall we give it a shot now? - Yes, you guys should try.
- Fair play, okay? - There's no doorbell.
Fair play.
- Let's pick a unit number first. - Unit 102.
- Fair play. - Shall we try Unit 102?
Yes, I like the number.
Fair play.
(He's brainwashing them.)
- Hey, let's hurry. - This is hard.
- There's another one here. - Oh, hello.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
(They ran into a resident.)
- What's your unit number? - Which unit?
- I live on the 5th floor. - The 5th floor?
- My goodness. - What's your unit number?
- Have you eaten yet? - Only two families live here.
- Oh, really? - It's all foreigners here.
- I see. - You should go in.
The thing is, I'm getting home just now.
- Have you had dinner yet? - No, not yet.
- Could you have dinner together? - We can even order in.
- Will it be okay? - Go in first.
We'll ring your doorbell.
My husband isn't Korean though.
- That's totally fine. - What's your unit number?
(Something suspicious is going on.)
I think they're trying to cheat.
- Which unit? - On the fifth floor?
- Unit 501. - Keep it down.
Don't mind us. That was nothing.
Didn't you tell her you'd press her doorbell?
- No, you misheard it. - Goodness.
- What's with you guys? - Are we conmen or what?
She lives in Unit 101, right?
No, she doesn't. Go away, guys.
- Hello? - Yes, you guys go first.
- Okay, we're next. - It's our turn.
All right, you should do it.
Guys, don't be like that, please.
It's our turn now.
Don't be like that, please.
(He kept emphasizing fair play.)
- Let's play fair and square. - All right. You're done, right?
No, we'll wait a few more seconds.
- You guys are done. - The doorbell is still ringing.
Okay, you're done.
- It's your turn now. - Yes. We'll...
- Let's go for Unit 501. - We'll pick Unit 501.
- Why Unit 501 out of nowhere? - Unit 501.
Hang on a moment. She's not home yet.
Then we'll go first.
Has she gone inside?
(Ho Dong tries a unit on the 4th floor.)
Let's try Unit 401.
- Why are they calling Unit 401? - We happened to press it.
No one lives there anyway.
Oh, you're right.
- Hey, ring the doorbell. - "No one lives there anyway"?
Guys, Unit 501 is ours.
- I'll ring the doorbell. - What did you say?
Unit 501.
(Haha finally rings the doorbell for Unit 501.)
Ask the resident to let us in.
Hello, Miss. Oh, I called her Miss.
Hello, ma'am. I'm Haha.
- How did he know it'd be a woman? - I'll...
- It's a woman? - He called her "Miss".
I'll wash all the dishes for you, and we'll...
Had she eaten or not?
You haven't eaten yet, right?
No, I haven't. But I need to see what's in the fridge first.
We're fine with instant noodles or even just a glass of water.
We'd just like to have a conversation with you.
- Exactly. Hello! - Yes.
Please let us in.
Okay, just a moment. Please give me a minute.
- Yes, okay. - A minute? No problem. Thank you.
- Hey. - Can they do this?
- We should do that too. - We were just...
- We rang the doorbell... - Haha, we need to get moving.
After 7:30pm, we can ask a resident we meet...
- to invite us in. - I see.
The rules become easy.
- We don't have much time. - We'll get going.
- Enjoy your dinner. - Congratulations.
My gosh, Gyeong Gyu. We're so lucky.
- Did we succeed? - We're incredibly lucky.
- We did it? - Yes, we did it.
- She said her husband isn't Korean. - That's right.
Gosh, I'm so happy right now.
I'm excited.
- You saw my skills, right? - You're really...
- You saw my skills, right? - You're a master cheater.
- Teach me, please. - That's not called cheating.
- It's my know-how. - Right, know-how.
- That's a great word, "know-how". - It's not cheating.
- I really admire you. - It's my know-how.
Yes, I'll admire you forever.
I observe everything when I'm walking around.
(A minute has passed, but they haven't heard anything from her.)
(Anxious)
Ma'am.
(Laughing)
I'm getting anxious.
- Haha. - Ma'am.
Nice, I like that.
- Haha. - Yes.
(Running)
She told us to wait for just a minute.
(A minute has passed, so let's ring the doorbell again.)
(They might be doomed if this doesn't go well.)
I'm nervous.
(A family is watching them from a building across the street.)
They will be our insurance in case this fails.
My gosh, that kid is adorable.
(Impressed)
I'm Haha from "Running Man".
Good. You're doing great.
By the way, why...
(She's not answering.)
(Anxious)
What's going on?
(Will they fail like this?)
(I must do something about this!)
I'll be even friendlier.
Ma'am!
The lady in Unit 501...
who rides a Mercedes-Benz.
(The lady who rides a German car)
(My stomach hurts from laughing.)
(Jennifer's father finds this situation amusing.)
(They ring her doorbell once again.)
Gosh, I'm getting a bad feeling.
(This isn't what I was expecting.)
(The door opens.)
- Oh, ma'am. - Ma'am.
- Ma'am, my gosh. - Hello.
May we come in?
- We're really sorry. - The intercom is broken.
I see.
If you don't mind me asking, where are you from originally?
I'm Korean, and I was born and raised in Seoul.
- Yes. And I still live in Seoul. - Oh, I see.
Is your husband home now?
No, there's an event going on at the embassy.
- I see. - Is he from a European country?
- No, he's Australian. - I see, he's from Australia.
- Have you ever watched our show? - Yes, many times.
Great. Have you called your husband...
and gotten his permission yet?
Hello?
- My gosh, she's so cool. - Hi, darling.
A TV crew is shooting a show here.
She's so cool when she speaks English.
I know. I think...
Yes. Did you ring doorbells at other buildings too?
- Yes. - Yes, we did. We're sorry.
- Well... - I guess the word has spread.
- I told you so. - There's an event...
- at the Swiss Embassy now, - Right.
and everyone there is surprised by the news.
So do you want me to let them in? Do you want to come and join us?
Yes, tell him to come and join us.
Okay, all right.
All right.
Thank you. Bye.
- What did he say? - Well...
(Hesitating)
(The golden opportunity created by the veteran's know-how)
(What was the husband's answer?)
- Did he tell you to let us in? - Yes.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Gyeong Gyu and Haha found their dinner mates.)
But I don't think he knows what this is about.
- That's okay. - It'll be a great memory.
- Oh, my goodness. - It's all right.
What's your name?
I'm Sunny.
- Sunny? - Yes.
- Sunny? - Sunny. Sunshine!
(You're too dazzling.)
Sunny.
- My, I love your name. - Shall we go in?
- Yes, please come in. - Thank you.
(Gyeong Gyu and Haha enter her house.)
(Her place looks amazing.)
- These are by Kim Hong Do. - Yes.
Oh, that's Psy.
Her place is decorated like a gallery.
They entered an elegant home in Hannam-dong...
with modern, white-themed decor at dinnertime.
(They entered an elegant home in Hannam-dong.)
My, that must be Australia.
We've lived in a number of different countries.
- I see. - You've moved around a lot.
They're photos of the places that we've lived.
(They're from places that they've lived.)
- This is Switzerland. - Switzerland.
This is the view from our place in Australia.
Habart?
- Hobart. - No, Hobart. It's in Tasmania.
(It's beautiful.)
We have 3 sons, and 2 of them are twins.
Oh, my goodness.
- These boys must be the twins. - Yes, they must be.
Yes, Andrew and Sam. Matthew is attending College in Australia now.
- Oh, I see. - Matthew does seem a lot older.
- Is he your husband? - Yes.
- My gosh. - What a lovely family.
(They look so happy.)
- He seems very intelligent. - I know.
Does he work at the Australian embassy?
No. My husband is Australian,
but he's the CEO of a Swiss company's Korean branch.
I see, he works for a Swiss company.
(Her husband, who's Australian, works for a Swiss company.)
How would you like me to address you?
Shall I call you ma'am or...
- Please just call me Sunny. - Sunny?
Yes. My husband is Sean Sutton, and I'm Sunny.
- Sean... - Yes.
- and Sunny. - Yes, you can just call me Sunny.
- My husband will entertain you. - We're already having so much fun.
I guess you have dinner at home every day.
- Pardon? - Does he eat at home every day?
- He likes home-cooked food. - Oh, does he?
He has to have a Korean meal and Western cuisine for the other meal.
Does he like Korean food?
Yes, he enjoys it.
- He likes it more than I do. - What's his favorite dish?
He really likes stir-fried baby octopus.
- Stir-fried baby octopus? - My, it's very tasty.
- Can he eat spicy food? - Yes.
My goodness.
That dish is very spicy.
(Clunking)
Sunny, we can help you with things like that.
- Could you hold this for me? - Yes, of course.
- I made spaghetti sauce yesterday. - Really?
- That's awesome. - What is it?
It's spaghetti. She made spaghetti sauce yesterday.
In American TV shows like "Friends", you see...
actors eating cold spaghetti straight out of the fridge.
- Spaghetti. - Yes.
- Really? - This is so classy.
- Gyeong Gyu, I really admire you. - Hey.
- Haha. - Yes, Gyeong Gyu.
Aren't Park Myung Soo and I on totally different levels?
He's nothing compared to you.
(His answer satisfied Gyeong Gyu.)
It looks like many fun things happen while shooting the show.
- There were moving incidents too. - Yes.
I think it's a good show.
By the way, isn't the program over now? I thought it was done.
(Don't force us to end one of JTBC's most popular shows.)
You thought the show was done?
One of my shows ended for good.
(One of my shows is done.)
(Sunny takes something out of the cupboard.)
- My gosh! - Can you not drink while shooting?
- No, it doesn't matter. - Champagne is fine.
- My husband always... - It's totally fine.
- We can drink wine too. - Gosh, this is so classy.
- What? - This will be one classy dinner.
What are you talking about?
We always drink wine here on Let's Eat Dinner Together.
- I have a really good champagne. - Champagne!
This is so... My gosh.
You can only get this in Tasmania.
We always...
- have a glass of drink at dinner. - That's great.
(The short guy uses all of his strength.)
(Popping)
(Panting)
- Have a glass while you wait. - All right.
- I'll pour you a glass. - Thank you.
My gosh, this is Hannam-dong.
- It has global charm. Hey, Haha. - We sure are in Hannam-dong now.
- Cheers. - Thank you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Would you like something to drink? - Oh, yes.
- Enjoy. - What's your name?
My name is Kevin.
- Kevin? My name... - What's your name?
- Angry. - Angry? Oh, I see.
Angry.
(The glass of champagne got Angry all excited.)
My husband and I are going to have a day of fun tomorrow...
before our kids come back. We're planning to go to Hongdae.
- Come to my restaurant. - You should go there.
I promise I'll treat you. I'm serious.
- Okay. - Great.
- You should go there tomorrow. - I feel much better now.
- Yes. - Okay.
- You can treat them tomorrow. - Exactly.
- It'll be on me. - Good.
(She gets a call from her husband right at that moment.)
- Hello? - Give her your number.
Hi, you need to come. I'm alone. No kids.
You need to come quickly, please.
Actually, I've got some chicken breast,
and I'm going to cook some pasta as well, so it might be...
not much, but if you want, you can do it.
But it's a late dinner, so it might be better just to eat what we have.
You need to... Yes. You need to come quickly, please.
- No soju, no soju. - She said, "No soju."
I want soju. I want soju.
Okay, just buy one bottle.
No, we have some. Just come quickly, okay?
Okay, bye.
- Will it be all right? - Yes, it's fine.
While her husband is coming home,
Sunny prepares Western-style dishes for dinner.
First, she grills chicken breast for the salad she's making.
She throws a handful of raspberries on a bed of fresh greens.
Then she adds soft avocado on top, which completes the salad.
On top of well-cooked fusilli noodles,
she adds her signature tomato sauce, and dinner is ready.
(Her husband arrives just in time for dinner!)
- My gosh. - He's here.
- He's here. - Sean.
- Sean. - Sean.
- You're back. - Sean.
- Hello, Sean. - Hello!
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
- It's nice to meet you. - He's very good-looking.
- It's very nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.
- How's my darling? - Hello, darling.
My gosh, this is like a scene from a movie.
(A scene from an American TV show unfolds before their eyes.)
Very beautiful!
- What did you buy? Soju? - "Darling".
(Impressed by how affectionate they are)
I think they were hanging around near the embassy, the Swiss Embassy.
Then they came to the next block. I think that's what happened.
When I got home, I needed a car wash,
and I tried to get out of the door.
Are you from Australia?
- Yes. - I see.
- Nice to meet you. - Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Cheers, darling. - Cheers, darling.
Cheers, darling. I missed you a lot today.
- They look like a new couple. - We've been together for years.
- You're still so in love. - It's been a long time, hasn't it?
He's very sweet.
Take a seat. Please have a seat.
- It's a big surprise. - Yes.
- Surprise! - Surprise.
This program is all about surprising people.
Yes. My wife called when I was in a meeting.
(Let's just laugh first.)
My phone was in the "do not disturb" mode,
but it still kept ringing.
- "Come on! Hurry up." - So I thought,
"What's happening?"
"Something serious must've happened."
Sean,
- are you from Tasmania? - Yes.
- Were you born there? - Yes, I was.
I'm Tasmanian.
Do you know Tasmania?
- I don't know. - It's an island.
- Tasmania is near Melbourne. - I see, it's near.
It's like Jeju Island. It's kind of... An hour flight away?
- Maybe it's a 45-minute flight. - Yes.
How long have you been in Korea?
(Gyeong Gyu speaks fluent English.)
Actually, I've lived here three times.
- 3 times? - 3 times. This is the 3rd time.
Together, maybe eight years in total.
- 8 years. - 8 years.
- In Hannam-dong? - Yes.
I call him Itaewon Boy.
- I'm Gangnam Girl. - She's Gangnam Girl.
He calls me Gangnam Girl, and I call him Itaewon Boy.
Excuse me.
What's your business?
- My business? - Yes.
- I'm in the elevator business. - The elevator business?
- I work for Schindler. - Oh, I see.
Thank you.
- Is the company from Switzerland? - It's a Swiss company.
It's based in Lucerne, Switzerland.
- I've been there. - It's very beautiful.
- I've been to Switzerland. - Yes.
- The Alps. - Traveling?
I'm also wearing a Swiss-made watch.
Good.
My watch.
- Swiss-made watches are very good. - Yes.
Yes, the Swiss are very good at making watches.
Also elevators.
- Right, Schindler. - Yes.
- This channel is JTBC, - JTBC.
- and the show is Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.
It's a very popular show.
Would you like to promote your products on our next episode?
(Would you like a product placement?)
Yes, please.
(I love it!)
That would be nice. We are doing business.
- Bottoms up. - Thank you.
(They celebrate closing a deal.)
Come on.
He looks like the actor from "Taken".
He looks similar to him.
What's his name?
- Liam Neeson? - Liam Neeson.
You look similar to him.
- He looks more like Kevin Costner. - Kevin Costner.
(He is Kevin Costner of Hannam-dong.)
Right. He is Kevin Costner.
Big nose.
You are Kevin Costner.
(He looks just like Kevin Costner.)
I am Bruce Lee.
He's Korean Bruce Lee.
Let's Eat Dinner Together is an international show starred by Hollywood stars.
How many push-ups can you do?
- 1, 2, 3. - My husband...
is into triathlon.
- He ranked fifth in the world. - Really?
That was when he was young.
You ranked fifth in one of the triathlons in Hong Kong.
- Didn't you? - Really?
- Triathlon? - When he was in his early 40s.
That's crazy.
He was in triathlon.
(He's Iron Shawn.)
That's amazing.
Do you have six-pack abs?
- 2. - 2 packs.
(He only has two packs now.)
(Time took away his 4 packs.)
You need six-pack abs.
- Thank you. - You have to finish the salad.
(He's the pasta.)
This is unbelievable.
Perfect.
Thank you.
- Are you on a diet? - No.
Every day, 24 hours, 365 days, I'm on a diet, aren't I?
(It's time to take a photo of the meal.)
(Champagne from Tasmania and Sunny's signature pasta)
This is an exotic meal from the exotic Hannam-dong.
It's the international couple Sunny and Shawn's simple meal,
which is as stylish as a restaurant meal.
Now, you are going to film a movie...
while having a glass of wine.
You can be very sweet.
Let's begin with the moment he comes in and says "darling."
"Darling". Okay. Let's do this.
- That was really beautiful. - "Darling."
Ready and action.
(An International Couple's Dinner in Hannam-dong)
Hello, honey.
- Good to see you. - How are you?
What a great job you've done.
It's nothing.
It's a simple meal.
I went to see my mom this morning.
She was very happy to see me...
even though I didn't see her for a long time.
He still looks at her with sweet eyes.
They always tell me not to come,
but they always wait for me to come.
Should we eat, darling?
- If you like the salad... - Cut.
(Dinner Theater ends after confirming their sweet love.)
The director loved it.
Kevin Costner.
(Kevin Costner of Hannam-dong acted with his eyes.)
Please help yourself.
- As much as I can... - Your husband...
looks at you...
with such lovely eyes.
He's a nice man.
Your eyes are always beautiful.
You know that?
(It's a fascinating sight for Gyeong Gyu.)
(He's covered in sweetness.)
I think I've changed a lot since we got married.
At first...
What do you mean?
I wanted to be a really good wife.
But now that we have children...
I am always cranky, aren't I?
Every morning, I shout.
I tell the twins to pack their bags and their lunch boxes.
I tell them to eat and hurry to school.
The moment they leave, I am in paradise.
It makes me feel guilty.
(He stares at his wife with sweet eyes.)
How did you come to Korea? For your company?
For my company. Yes.
Did he always work for the elevator company?
- No. - Different companies.
In the past, he was the CEO of Siemens.
That's when I met him.
Have you seen the wind turbines...
in Daegwallyeong or Jeju Island?
He worked for a Danish company called Vestas...
as the CEO of Asia Pacific Office.
He worked in Singapore for five years.
- Wind turbines. - After that...
he worked for Samsung.
And now he works for a Swiss company.
You all know the film "Schindler's List".
- Right. - He helped Jews.
- "Schindler's List". - Yes.
He's the CEO of Schindler Korea.
(He's been a CEO of many companies.)
What did you do before marrying him?
I worked for a holding company of a hotel business.
- Is that right? - Yes.
I used to work for Hyatt.
(She has worked in many great hotels.)
I am so curious about how you two met.
Ask them about the romance a little later.
It's too soon, boy.
Shouldn't we ask them when they had their first kiss?
- Too soon. - All right.
Haha, who is used to hanging out with other small men,
is excited to be invited to a lovely dinner.
And it makes him show American reactions.
(He reacts like an American.)
This is mad. Crazy.
(He eats pasta.)
He eats pasta once and drinks champagne once.
Enjoying a luxurious western dinner,
Gyeong Gyu is happy.
With dazzling Sunny...
and her own Kevin Costner,
the international dinner, which looks like a scene...
from an American TV show, ripens.
This is crazy good.
Meanwhile, these two look like they are shooting...
a crime movie.
(Ho Dong and Byung Jae are shooting a crime movie.)
Let's try this house.
(He hurries.)
It's a villa.
(They only have 25 minutes now.)
(The bell is ringing.)
(But nobody is answering.)
I think that's a garage.
- Is that a garage? - Yes.
- My leg. - Are you all right?
I am okay.
(There's nothing on the ground.)
Why are you trying so hard?
- Let's press the bell there. - Okay.
(Keyser Soze...)
(He presses the doorbell.)
Okay.
(It makes him polite.)
Whether they had dinner or not is very important.
(It's already half past 7.)
It's already quite late.
(Nobody is in again.)
- We are running out of time. - It's 7:40pm right now.
(They can't walk now.)
(He presses the doorbell without any hesitation.)
Even if they're in, they must've had dinner.
Hi.
Hello.
(Now, they can't ignore anyone.)
Did you have dinner?
(The door opens.)
(The door is open.)
The door is opened.
(It seems like someone is coming out.)
- Hi. - Hi.
Hello.
We are from JTBC.
What is it?
- This is a TV show. - A broadcast. A TV show.
Okay.
Can we talk?
- Sure. - Thank you.
You are on barefoot.
(He walks out.)
- Thank you. It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Where are you from? - From the US.
- The US. - The US. Where in the US?
- New York. - New York.
I love New York.
Do you know us?
I am sorry. No. Sorry.
I am the Korean traditional sports champion.
- I am a former champion. - Okay.
Can we have dinner together in your house?
- Did you have dinner? - I did.
(He's already eaten dinner.)
But?
- Sure. - Sure.
We can't go in if the host has already eaten.
Sorry and thank you.
- Okay. Great. Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you. Take care.
- Thank you. Bye. - Bye.
New York. New York.
New York
Concrete jungle where dreams made of
Should we try one more time?
(After enjoying the New York feel, they get back to their business.)
Aren't we speaking too much English today?
This has to work.
It's ringing.
Is it?
- It's 7:44pm. - Why is there no sound?
(Why is there no sound?)
Someone is coming out.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- There's no pressure. - Can we talk for a while?
They are discussing.
I think they are in the middle of dinner.
- He's Korean. - We get to speak Korean.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
You were resting, weren't you?
Are you a foreigner?
No, I am not a foreigner.
My wife is a foreigner.
We have only until 8pm.
Do you know the show Let's Eat Dinner Together?
Yes, I know.
It's a show about having a conversation...
over a simple dinner.
This is the most important question. Have you had dinner?
Not yet.
Right.
It doesn't matter if you have a lot of food or not much food.
You can just give us water too.
The word "family" refers to people who eat together, you know.
Will you invite Byung Jae and me in and become our family today?
It's fine by me, but I will ask my wife.
- Please ask her. - Okay.
We will wait here.
This is not a difficult show.
We will just talk quietly.
- Thank you. - Byung Jae.
Let's pray.
(Please help us.)
- Please. - That's it.
I think we got it.
(Sighing)
It's 7:47pm.
7, 7.
There's 7 at the top and 7 at the bottom.
- He's coming out. - They're an international couple.
Hello.
Don't be pressured. This is a variety show.
- Will you be our family? - Yes.
(Hooray!)
(Ho Dong lifts Byung Jae lightly.)
We started at 6pm,
and we only have 10 minutes left.
Thank you so much for opening the door to us...
and for inviting us in.
Thank you so much.
- Do you know who I am? - I know too well.
Didn't you go to Masan Middle School?
- Masan Middle School. - Masan Middle School.
- Masan Middle School. Yes. - I went there too.
Wait.
Wait. I don't know yet if he's older or younger.
You went to Masan Middle School too.
I was in the 36th batch.
- I... - I was born in 1970.
I was born in 1974.
- He's not much younger than you. - It's nice to meet you.
- It's nice to meet you. - Let me hug you.
- Are you originally from Masan? - Yes, I am from Masan.
- My goodness. - You must have a lot to talk about.
In Masan, we use...
dried anglerfish.
- Should we talk about that inside? - Let's go inside.
We will continue inside.
Follow, follow me.
- Excuse me. - Hello.
(They enter their hosts' house.)
- Singapore? - She doesn't speak Korean well.
- I see. - So lovely.
It's an international couple again.
We will get into the dinner of a Korean-Singaporean couple.
It's the lovely space of a happy international couple...
with a lovely daughter.
What stories will they tell us?
(What stories will they tell us?)
Hello.
I went to the same school as your daddy.
She doesn't speak Korean well.
Old boy.
- She doesn't speak Korean well. - They went to the same school.
Friends?
- Yes. Friends. - Yes.
We are family.
We will...
We are one team.
What are they talking about?
(They have nothing to say anymore.)
What is her name?
What's your name?
- Su Yi. - Su Hee?
- Su Yi. - Su Yi.
- Yes. - That's a lovely name.
What do you do?
I run a screen-golf center in Itaewon.
- My goodness. - I will go there.
I love screen-golfing.
I've seen it on TV.
(Everyone knows how much Ho Dong loves screen-golfing.)
I began this business...
because I love golfing. Before that, I was a photographer.
- I knew it. - Let's sit here.
- Okay. - Let's talk for five minutes.
It's so messy.
- It's fine. - All houses with children are.
We just moved here recently.
You moved here recently.
Ma'am.
Mei.
Can we talk for five minutes?
Then we can help you prepare the meal.
- Please have a seat here. - You speak Korean.
- She's good. - Only a little bit.
You are really good.
Please come sit in the center.
What do you do in Korea?
I am a journalist.
Yes.
What kind of a journalist?
I'm a correspondent...
of a big Singaporean newspaper company.
Do you write articles related to Korea?
It's been really really busy.
(The world's attention has been focused on Singapore.)
(We are lucky to meet a Singaporean.)
There are different desks, you know?
There is politics, economics, society, and culture.
- Politics and economics. - Politics?
- Politics. - That's her specialty.
I write about the summit.
It's an on-going thing, you know?
It's on and off.
Right.
(It's been really hectic for me.)
And...
Are you done for the day?
I am going to write it later.
You haven't written it yet. We should hurry.
I haven't written it yet.
If it's all right, can you tell us what your article will be about?
- What will it be about? - I am curious.
Because of the summit,
the officials went to Singapore. I'm writing about that.
(This is the article she wrote on the day of the shoot.)
The world is interested in this event.
It's the biggest interest.
What do Singaporeans feel about this?
Singapore has been very neutral.
So Singapore can play a very good...
role in being a neutral party.
And Singapore has experienced it in the past.
We hosted the first meeting...
between Chinese president and Taiwanese leader.
So we are...
She says they are the neutral party...
and that they have hosted a summit before.
And Singapore is very safe.
Security is top.
Winner.
I understood that. It's safe.
He's a writer.
- Him. - I am Korean...
- You should introduce yourself. - I should've introduced myself.
I am Korean writer and comedian...
from YG Entertainment.
- YG. - My name is... YG.
Big Bang.
Winner.
Blackpink.
- Do you know Big Bang? - Of course.
I am as famous as Big Bang.
Same. Nearly.
Almost the same.
It's because G-Dragon is serving the army.
He's in the army.
Whenever K-Pop stars and celebrities...
came to Singapore,
I took all the official photos.
- I took photos for Big Bang too. - Did you really?
Yes, I took photos for Big Bang and 2NE1.
Big Bang and 2NE1.
I was the official photographer.
- So you and I have a connection. - Right.
- You could say that. - In Singapore.
I...
wrote a lot of articles about Korean Wave.
About Korean dramas, films,
- And celebrities. - and celebrities.
She interviewed a lot of them.
I began in 2000.
At the time, the four most popular stars were...
Lee Byung Hun, Bae Yong Joon, Jang Dong Gun, and Won Bin.
The four kings.
I've met them all.
- She interviewed them all. - I did.
If you were a journalist, and he was a photographer,
did you meet at work?
- We... - We didn't.
Let's hear about their love story after we eat.
Let's take it slowly.
- It will be a special time. - Yes. Yes.
What should we help you with?
I am going to make chicken rice.
- Chicken rice. - Yes.
Singapore is famous for chicken rice.
Really?
- What do you need help with? - Can I get a glass of water?
- Okay. - I will get a cup.
- This is from the Blue House. - My goodness.
- Byung Jae. - We go there often.
- Did you hear him? - I didn't hear him.
He says he goes to the Blue House often.
This cup is from the Blue House.
(The cup is from the Blue House.)
That's a great thing.
She's a journalist.
I got this when I first visited.
It smells like chicken.
- Chicken rice. - It's chicken rice.
- Chicken rice. - Chicken rice.
It's the most popular dish from Singapore.
(She starts preparing the meal.)
You love beer.
- How many people will be eating? - Only us.
Five people including the child.
- Five? - Yes.
Byung Jae, who was curious about a Singaporean meal,
joins in and sets the table.
May serves the chicken soup she prepared for dinner.
Should I move it to the table?
- Broccoli. - Broccoli.
It smells incredible. It was this smell.
- Hello, Su Yi. - Hello.
Hello.
(Hungry Su Yi already sat down on the table.)
Finally, the traditional Singaporean dish, chicken rice is done.
(It's eye-catching.)
She said we couldn't serve instant rice.
This is not fried rice.
This is Singaporean style chicken rice.
It smells incredible.
(It smells fantastic.)
It seems like you season the rice before you cook it.
Yes. You add the sauce.
She serves different kinds of kimchi, the Korean dinner staple,
and the dinner is ready.
(Kimchi completes the meal.)
You eat a lot of Kimchi.
The rice is Singaporean style.
The side dishes are Korean style.
- Right. - Right.
It's a collaboration between Korea and Singapore.
(It's a collaboration meal between Korea and Singapore.)
It's a delicious dinner in Hannam-dong.
(He takes a photo of the meal.)
This meal is the dinner of Su Yi's family,
the international family from Hannam-dong.
Korean side dishes...
and Singaporean rice and soup are served together.
It's a Korea-Singapore collaboration meal.
(It's a Korea-Singapore collaboration dinner.)
We do a thing called Dinner Theater. It's much like "Screening Humanity".
- Just think that we are not here. - Ready.
Action.
Let's eat.
He's sweet.
- Let's eat. - Let's eat.
(How about them?)
(We can't eat yet, Su Yi.)
(They find this situation awkward.)
We have to act natural.
What did you do in school today?
We are practicing for sports day.
And then?
We were doing curling with bean bags.
- Curling? - Yes.
- Curling. - Curling.
How did you know about curling Su Yi?
I liked watching Pyeongchang Paralympics...
Wheelchair Curling.
(I see.)
Do you know that before Pyeongchang Olympics,
very few people knew about curling.
Mama also didn't know about curling.
(Really?)
After Pyeongchang Olympics, a lot of people now know about it.
The Korean girls who were very good at curling...
are very famous now.
Do you know what they are called?
Garlic Girls.
Do they like to eat garlic?
No. They came from...
Their hometown is famous for producing garlic.
That's why they are called Garlic Girls.
Cut.
(They stop it because they can't understand.)
Which language do you mostly use in this house?
We use English, simple Korean...
Singaporeans usually mix English and Chinese.
I heard Chinese a while ago.
- Yes. - She speaks Chinese well.
Thank you for dinner.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
It looks really good.
This is Singaporean delicacy.
- Chicken rice. - Yes.
Chicken rice and chicken soup.
Chicken soup.
(They taste the chicken soup first.)
(His eyes become wide.)
(He's impressed.)
It makes you feel healthy.
- Healthy. - Healthy.
- Healthy. - Yes.
(One mouthful of chicken soup...)
(energizes him.)
It's really delicious.
- It's like our chicken stew. - Right.
It's like soupy chicken stew.
Right. Right.
It's similar to Korean chicken soup. It tastes just like that.
Boiled chicken soup? Right.
- This is chicken rice. - Rice.
Singaporeans like to eat this?
You can actually find this dish anywhere in Singapore.
Chicken rice?
You don't have to cook it at home.
I'll taste it then.
(A little nervous)
(He smells it first.)
What is this smell?
I think I've smelled this before in overseas countries.
- It has garlic and ginger in it. - And soy sauce, I guess.
It does have soy sauce in it.
Thank you for the food again.
(Taking a big bite)
(She watches Ho Dong eat in amazement.)
(This is amazing.)
It's really good.
(He tastes the soup again.)
Ho Dong eats the refreshing Singaporean style chicken soup...
as if it's hangover soup.
(He eats the Singaporean style chicken soup like hangover soup.)
He even shows off his skills to bone a drumstick.
(Yummy)
(Ho Dong, this is amazing.)
This is really good.
Byung Jae, who would've been so disappointed...
if he didn't get to eat chicken rice today,
enjoys his food quietly.
It's so delicious.
This is so...
(Amazed)
Su Yi who's surprised to see the two guys,
the Singaporean mother, and the Korean father...
break down the barriers in their mind and become one.
This is very unique.
Do you cook rice and chicken together?
I just did it because we didn't have enough time.
- Usually it's not like that. - It's not.
- You should cook them separately? - Yes.
(It's her own tip to save time.)
It's so good though.
I see.
What is the most representative Singaporean food?
Chicken rice,
- chili crab, - Chili crab?
- and bak kut teh. - What is bak kut teh?
It's pork rib soup.
- It's like galbitang in Korea. - Right, galbitang.
Do you have it in Singapore? Kaya sandwich?
- Yes. - Kaya?
- It's kaya toast. - Kaya toast.
- We have kaya toast. - It's really good.
It's called kaya toast.
I see. It's kaya toast.
I bet you've been Singapore before.
No, I haven't.
Then how did you know that?
I had kaya toast in Yeongdeungpo.
You had Singaporean food in Yeongdeungpo?
(He had Singaporean food in Yeongdeungpo.)
(He's not upset anymore.)
How did you two meet?
(He just said he'd ask about their love story later.)
- We understand the question. - You said you'd ask it later.
How did you meet at first?
(A little embarrassed)
- We met here in Seoul. - Seoul?
In Hannam-dong?
- No. - No?
I was in LA and I came for a business trip.
I was in the hotel industry.
I came for a business trip.
I went to some well-known restaurant with my cousin.
And then... I should speak in Korean.
Yes, please.
I wanted to explain in English for you.
I know the story. So tell them in Korean.
I came to Korea for a business trip, but I didn't have anything to do.
So I went to a restaurant.
And my husband was working for a German company in Korea back then.
He was sitting next to my table...
with more than 10 people.
To be honest,
I couldn't take my eyes off him.
(Shy)
Falling in love
I was just...
going to say hello and leave.
She couldn't take her eyes off him.
But?
I gave him my business card, and he gave me his.
He wrote his email address on it.
I thought he was a playboy or something.
(He understands the word playboy immediately.)
You're so cool.
(Cool CEO)
Then I went back to the US just like that.
He called me every morning for three weeks.
In the US it was about three in the afternoon.
I got his call every day.
So I thought he was very faithful.
I liked that someone is calling me every day.
I was actually very lonely back then.
Good timing.
I hadn't seen anyone for a long time.
And I was just focusing on my career.
So I thought I wanted to meet him again in Korea.
We met again maybe three weeks later.
Yes. Because I asked her out on a date,
- but she said no. - Really?
You played hard to get.
It's like push and pull.
That's playing hard to get.
Push.
(He doesn't remember the word.)
Push and pull. Play hard to get.
- Not until three weeks later. - Push and pull.
It's about relationships.
(She's explaining it in English.)
Love is pulling and pushing.
I thought he was faithful. So I was grateful,
and wanted to meet him.
He was dressed in a suit,
but he was carrying a black plastic bag in his hand.
It wasn't like what I imagined.
I had question marks in my head.
Why did you have a black plastic bag?
So...
You just criticized me that I can't say push and pull,
but what's wrong with your English?
- What was in the plastic bag? - So...
I thought...
- It's embarrassing. - There was chocolate in it.
- It was just common chocolate. - Chocolate?
In fact, he's allergic...
to chocolate, red wine, and parmesan cheese.
(I see.)
He can't eat chocolate,
but he wanted to give it to me.
So he just bought it, and didn't have time to wrap it.
It's the thought that counts, right?
(He doesn't understand.)
- Why chocolate? - Why?
You could've bought something else.
I was just a gift.
He could've wrapped it.
But I think it's more touching that he gave it in a plastic bag.
- He looks more sincere that way. - So...
- it still lives in my memory. - I knew it.
- It's more memorable. - Because he was different.
Different from others.
- He's a player. - He really is.
He says you're a playboy.
(Laughing)
A playboy.
That's funny.
How long...
did you two date?
- What? - How long?
It was about 2 to 3 years.
It was a little unique though. We jogged together all the time.
Jogging on a date?
That sounds healthy.
I was training, so...
I didn't know that. He was preparing for a triathlon,
and I just did it together.
I asked her to join the running.
Around the Yongsan Army Base.
- The army base? - We ran around it.
- Itaewon, Ichon-dong, and Samgakji. - From Itaewon to Samgakji.
- Samgakji. - It's a long course.
- It is about 8km. - 8km?
- It was almost 10km. - 10km?
(It's a spartan date course which is 10km long.)
So they just ran.
So she was following.
- But at Samgakji, - But?
there were a lot of middle-aged men outside.
- They were soldiers. - They were cheering.
Cheering for her?
- Like "There you go!". - Wow.
(Sunny ran hard with all the cheering.)
"Okay!"
"Run!"
Right. I ran hard because of them. I was ashamed.
So you jogged on a date.
I got an email every afternoon.
At about 4:30pm. "Do you want to join for jogging tonight?"
He didn't even ask me out.
So I went home and changed for jogging.
You must've liked him so much.
I think I did.
From what we've heard so far,
Sean was frugal and even a little stingy.
- It was a date. - You saved money for dates.
He didn't take me to a luxurious restaurant.
You're like Scrooge.
What made you decide to marry her?
(Laughing)
(He asks questions in broken English.)
- Why? - Yes.
Because she kept running to catch up.
- You knew it. - She's my...
best partner.
- Best partner? - Wow.
I see.
He was transferred to Hong Kong after then.
You had to go to Hong Kong, right?
So I flew to Hong Kong every Friday night...
and came back to Korea on Monday morning.
So whenever I went through customs,
they thought I went to Hong Kong for shopping.
It was 4am, so I had to go home and change to go to work.
So I spontaneously opened my bag, so they can go through my stuff.
Later on, they realized that I didn't buy anything new.
That's one of the memories about Hong Kong.
I see. So he was in Korea and went to Hong Kong?
Yes.
Does he take good care of your children?
He's a good father. He's the best dad for our oldest son.
He tells his dad everything.
And he's also good to the twins.
He'll be the enemy of all married men.
(He will be the enemy of all married men in the world.)
He smiles all the time.
Laughter brings good luck.
But I'm very moody.
That's why we're good. I have emotional ups and downs.
But he's not like that.
But I lose whenever we fight.
How do you two quarrel? I'm so curious.
When we fight, he just listens.
- Really? - "Calm down."
Right. He says, "Calm down."
I'm calm like this, and then...
- He bursts. - Boom!
The lid flies away.
(That's it.)
Is there any cultural difference?
I was surprised...
that my husband has six siblings.
He has six siblings.
- Really? - Yes.
I have a story. One day,
his mother was on a plane.
There were on the plane, right?
She has so many kids that...
Did she miss one?
- No. - She was on the plane.
- She missed one. - That's "Home Alone".
"Home Alone".
Is his name Kevin?
- "Home Alone". Yes. - "Home Alone".
("Home Alone")
- Okay? - That's what happened.
That happened because she has so many children.
"Home Alone".
- Are you the youngest? - No.
(What are you talking about?)
- No. - No.
- Middle. 4th. - 4th.
See? He answers my question.
(It works.)
So his family is similar to Korea.
Even though he's a foreigner, they respect the elders.
- He's more homely than us. - Homely.
His grandfather...
I'm sure foreigners have different family cultures,
but when we met,
I think it's rare to accept us as who we are,
but I think that's what I liked about them.
My parents-in-law showed up at my wedding.
Your mom was embarrassed when I come.
So I was touched.
On the day he died,
he held his breath until he came.
We had many issues such as the plane delay.
He hugged me and said,
"Have a wonderful life with my son."
He said it as he was fainting.
I was grateful.
My dad was always very happy to see her.
- It's like a movie. - Yes.
(Their story is touching.)
Even though they had different lifestyle and culture,
their love hotter than anyone else's...
led to marriage beyond the border...
and created the Sutton Family now.
(They created the Sutton Family.)
What's the difference between Korean and Singaporean culture?
Very different.
How is it different?
Singaporean women...
They have power.
They have more power than Korea.
- Women's rights. - Women's rights.
In case of Korea, for example,
it's kind of hard for women to get to the position in power.
- There's a glass ceiling. - Yes. There's a glass ceiling.
But that doesn't exist in Singapore.
- They can go... - That's cool.
as high as they want.
- They could be a president or CEO. - That's cool.
We have a very strong opinion.
We can express ourselves.
- They can do anything they want. - Yes.
- They don't need to be worried. - We can just do it.
Yes. That. We don't need to be worried in Singapore.
- We have to be worried in Korea. - Yes.
That's the biggest difference.
- He's the expert. - Expert?
He's always reading other people's social cues.
(The man who cares about other people's social cues the most)
(Gasping)
My eyes are tired because...
I'm always reading other people's social cues.
I'm weak.
(His eyes are tired from reading social cues.)
Do you mind if I ask how you first met?
- How did we meet at first? - Internet.
- Internet? - We met on the Internet.
- How? - There's...
a chatting site on the Internet.
It's a website for foreigners...
who love Korea.
It's a website for foreigners who like K-pop or Korean drama...
- to chat in English. - I see.
- People who like Korean culture. - Yes.
That's how we first met.
I actually learned Korean for my job.
But I didn't have a chance...
to speak in Korean in Singapore.
She didn't have a chance to practice.
I was searching for someone to practice on the Internet.
Was I practice for you?
Yes.
(They accidentally found out the reason for the first meeting.)
(Flustered)
(Smiling)
How long has it been since you lived in Korea?
It's been almost three years.
We're going to expand three more years.
You will have to stay for three more years.
Ever since I came here,
- so many big news in Korea. - Yes.
So busy, crazy times last year.
She had such a busy and crazy time.
Impeachment and then presidential election.
So, at first,
they were planning to get rid of the correspondent in Korea.
But since the news on Korea is increasing and becoming important,
they decided to keep it.
Recently in Panmunjeom...
She was there too.
- Really? - Yes.
- I went to Kintex. - Yes.
There were...
- thousands of reporters... - Press center.
from all over the world.
Yes. 3,000.
That was a major event.
You wrote a message for your wife. "Good job."
(A message for his wife)
You're romantic.
You probably wrote so many articles in Korea.
What's the most memorable one?
I can't wait to hear it.
(Looking back at last 3 years as a correspondent in Korea...)
I wrote mostly about North Korea.
It was a Sewol ferry...
first anniversary.
- We went to... - We went to Danwon High School...
- at the time. - In 2015.
- It was very sad. - Sad?
(It was an unimaginable pain, but she could feel the pain.)
(Another memorable cover)
When I met comfort women.
- House of sharing. - House of sharing.
We went to the house of sharing together.
She showed us her... When she was trying to run away,
she had injuries here and on her legs.
That was heartbreaking.
I'm not sure if I have the right to ask this,
but what's Korea like...
to a foreign reporter?
Right. I'm curious too.
I'm the first one from my company...
to come to Korea.
And then after I came,
everything happened very very quickly.
A lot of big news took Korea.
And all these news...
It does not just affect Korea.
It affects all of Asia.
(Major events in Korea affected all of Asia.)
In Singapore, before I came,
most people were only interested in...
movie, drama, and K-pop, but after I came,
people know more about Korea as a country.
People know more about Korean people.
The candlelight vigil...
When that happened,
my friends all came to ask me.
"1 million Korean people went out to the street..."
"to protest,"
"and there was no violence at all."
"And everyone had one goal."
"Ask the president to get out."
So everyone is very very impressed.
And everyone said it was amazing.
How Koreans could do this.
Yes.
And I was very touched by...
power of the people.
- Do you understand? - Of course.
(Chuckling)
I never thought I would have...
such conversation with a foreigner on Let's Eat Dinner Together.
(An unimaginable conversation on dinner table)
I'd like to serve your friend's winery wine.
It's from my husband's friend's winery.
I thought you could try it.
- Let's drink. - Let's drink.
- Let's drink - Let's drink
- New glass. - New glass.
It's my husband's country's culture.
- Right. - What is this?
- It's different. - I'll drink it.
You don't need an opener for Australian wine.
- For Australian wine. - There's no cork.
Very convenient.
(He understood.)
- Comfortable. Very comfortable. - Oh, yes.
Easy. Easy. Yes.
- Swiss cheese. - It's Swiss cheese. You can try it.
Shall we make a toast?
- You could do it. - For health?
(The sweet guy takes care of the customers.)
- Sean's family? - Sean's family.
For health.
(For health. Cheers.)
Cheers.
Also, for their beautiful love.
(Australian wine is always good.)
There are many games to play with a drink.
Such as a truth or dare or yes or no.
Shall we?
You have to answer at the same time at the count of 1, 2, 3.
They're going to ask, and we have to answer.
It's a telepathy game.
- Really? - Okay.
- Spontaneous. - I've never played it before.
I'll start with an easy question.
(Nervous)
- Mountain or river. - Mountain.
1, 2, 3.
River.
Mountain or river.
It's different because I can't swim.
A river is never for me.
- My husband... - I prefer river.
I like Han River.
(I see.)
This is the adult version.
(Adult version?)
Okay.
(Nervous)
The place of your first kiss. Place.
1, 2, 3.
- Annabini. - My...
It's different.
- It was different. - What did he say?
- Cheongdam area. - Oh, Cheongdam.
It was the Italian restaurant we used to date.
- We didn't kiss in the restaurant. - Oh, I'm sorry.
(Sean and Sunny have different memories.)
(Oh, my gosh.)
I knew it was too perfect.
(Laughing)
I can finally take a break now.
You can't even tell the difference between cuddling and kiss?
Just like a peck.
Yes. It was a peck. That wasn't a kiss.
I meant tongue and tongue.
(Laughing)
It's the adult version for adults.
Super adult.
(The super adult of the area)
(Adult version to their liking)
Compliment your husband.
He's always the same person.
That's wonderful.
(They approve.)
He puts up with my ups and downs.
He's very generous and patient. Second.
He's generous.
Handsome and nice.
(Handsome and nice)
I love you. Love you much.
Bad thing.
- Bad thing. - Okay.
(Twitching)
He loves sports so much.
He loves sports.
I have to catch up with him.
My knees hurt lately.
Sometimes, I don't like how he's so nice.
A bad guy?
I sometimes want him to be on my side and gossip with me.
- Right. He needs to listen. - When I tell him what happened,
- I want him to agree with me. - Right.
He blames me.
That makes me the bad person.
(The reason that makes couples fight at least once)
It was absurd.
- He doesn't do that. - Okay.
I know what you mean.
Thirdly,
he misses his country due to the low quality of air.
The air condition is always 3 or 4.
When he says he wants to go back to his hometown.
- Did you settle in Korea? - No.
- You might go back. - Of course.
I understand that he'd want to go back. It's his hometown.
We have a high chance of going.
(We have a high chance of going.)
My children need to know about their mom's country,
but I think they also need friends from their dad's country in future.
Ask him to compliment you.
- My turn. - What?
- Give and take. - Give and take. Yes.
(I know.)
Sweet. She can be very caring and kind. You know?
Everyone does that when they're in love.
Wife and husband.
Why are you embarrassed?
More, more, more. That's too basic.
(Sunny wants him to express.)
- I ask too much. - Very beautiful.
(She's shy to hear it.)
Korean guys never say that on Let's Eat Dinner Together.
I always tell them to talk about how beautiful they are.
- But he says it. - Gyeong Gyu.
- Bad things. - There will be bad things.
She's fast. Quick.
- Quick. - Quick.
Every Korean is like that.
- Quick. - Yes. Fast.
Good.
(Gently)
(Glancing)
He looks at her when he talks.
I know. He stares at her gently.
He looks at her.
- We never look. - Yes.
- Really? - We talk to here.
He makes eye contact...
- when he talks. - Yes.
Also, he goes like this.
- You must feel that you're loved. - I know.
Right, but I don't think I love him back enough.
I'm busy with the kids.
- I'm flustered. - I'm very happy today.
Thank... Yes.
Why are you upset?
"I'm very happy today."
(He says he's happy, but he sounds angry.)
The time with the romantic couple is nearly over.
(Haha is washing the dishes.)
(Diligent)
I'll make a reservation at 7pm tomorrow.
I'm being a hassle.
Not at all. I'm really thankful.
- I'll rinse. - Okay.
(Ho Dong and Byung Jae wash the dishes.)
(Perfect harmony)
Good luck to Korea and Singapore.
Good luck.
- Cheese. - Cheese.
They met the 147th and 148th families...
for Let's Eat Dinner Together in Hannam-dong with global couples.
Thank you for...
- the good memory. - Thank you.
(Su Yi's painting of Let's Eat Dinner Together)
- 1 meal. - 2 meals.
More more.
I hope you succeed.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Wave)
(A proof picture of visiting Haha's restaurant)
- We wrote many dramas today. - You're right.
Small giant, Yoo Byung Jae.
It's Yoo-Kang line today.
It was fun.
- Let's soar. - Okay.
1, 2...
(Jump)
Doesn't it feel like we're seeing a different world...
before and after we went in?
Yes. It's a mysterious show.
- Did you have fun? - I'm serious.
Do you like me or Jae Seok?
You, of course.
(Gyeong Gyu makes genuinely satisfied laughter.)
You're different.
Will you join us for dinner...
beyond the border?
