(To someone, it was a bolt from the blue.)
(To someone, it was a once in a million chance.)
(That is a variety idol, Kwang Hee's enlisting.)
(Hwang Kwang Hee)
(Good to see you.)
(Oh, my Kwang...)
(Kwang Hee has nowhere to go now.)
(He's a beggar.)
(It's me, Hwang Kwang Hee.)
(So what?)
(Seungkwan's always ready for variety shows.)
(I'll take over his spot.)
(He can't let the baby take his turf.)
(Even Yu Jae Seok is into Kim Haon these days.)
(So, it was you?)
(He seems to be more than a match for Kwang Hee.)
(I admit you.)
(Jung Joon Young is doing well alone.)
(He's uniquely charming.)
(The variety show is getting more intense.)
(He's been charging the combat power for 21 months.)
(Holding the End of This Year Special begins now.)
In 2018, Radio Star...
- created many memes. - That's right.
Since the legendary meme of a total wreck,
I've become the king of meme...
with Dean Milli style.
(Gook Jin is the king of meme in Radio Star.)
In 2018, Radio Star created many quotations.
My speech on kkakdugi.
My apologies to filmmakers.
- That's a quote? - No.
It's a mistake.
- Lim Soo Jung? - No.
No, baby Soo Jung.
Was that Kkakdugi?
(You mean "Lump of Sugar"?)
(His quote of the year shook many industries.)
Lim Soo Jung's movie is not Kkakdugi, but "Lump of Sugar".
- It's not Cube either. - It was funny though.
In 2018, Radio Star did many good deeds.
Ever since Pil Mo was on Radio Star,
his show's getting 5 to 6 percent of TV ratings.
- Really? - Yes.
Seung Yoon's manager is doing well that they're...
on "Omniscient Interfering View" and are planning to film commercials.
Many friends of mine were on Radio Star in 2018.
Starting with Jang Hyuk...
- to Zo In Sung. - And Zo In Sung.
Jung Woo and Ji Hoon. It's your turn next year.
Come on.
In 2019, we'd like to catch memes, issues and TV ratings.
We're a high-end greedy program,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Today, we invited four guests...
who turned the wheel hard in 2018.
Holding the End of This Year Special.
Kwang Hee who went to the army...
has returned with his sense of variety show.
Loot at his face. He got so skinny.
He was not scared of anything in "Infinite Challenge",
but now that he's back his work is gone.
But still, be strong, Kwang Hee.
He tries to look bright, but he is clearly anxious.
Singer, handsome, shopping mall model,
entertainer, power blogger, pro gamer, CEO.
All these titles are for one person.
He's the best multi job worker in the entertainment industry.
- It's Jung Joon Young. - "Multi job worker."
He's on a roll as a main vocalist in SEVENTEEN.
In any other fields, he's not even in the main,
but barely surviving.
He's been struggling to thrive on variety shows for four years.
Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN.
He looks like Park Ji Sung.
He enjoys meditating.
His hobby is to make a wise saying.
He's a 19-year-old traveler seeking for enlightenment.
The winner of "High School Rapper 2".
The meditating rapper, Kim Haon.
Welcome.
What a cheerful guy.
- He's cheerful. - Yes.
- Welcome. - Hwang Kwang Hee.
Nice to meet you.
- Congratulations. - Close the door.
You probably learned that in the army.
Didn't you become used to it in the army?
There are automatic doors in the army now.
How long is he going back?
That's what I like about you.
He was asking me to be nice before,
but now he's acting shameless. I like that.
Please say hello to the viewers, starting with Kwang Hee.
Other people's...
Other people's time in the army flies...
This isn't right.
- Start over. - Relax.
- Start over. - Kwang Hee.
Don't squeeze it out. Just go.
Please say hello, Kwang Hee.
I'm normally very good.
- Please say hello. - Yes.
Long time no see. I'm here to make you laugh.
Even if I'm not funny, give me two months please.
I'm Kwang Hee. Nice to meet you.
Many popular entertainers like Haha and Jong Min...
had a slump for a while after leaving the army.
It's not easy to get the sense back.
Before, people used to wait,
but nowadays, people don't even wait for a month.
They're willing to bust me up.
- My gosh, I shouldn't say it on TV. - Why are you so cold?
- He's rough now. - I'm going to be strong.
- He's rough. - Am I wrong?
That's how nervous I am.
- Why are you so skinny? - Why did you lose so much weight?
Actually...
Did you have a hard time?
It's not that, but I was worried...
that the show is gone.
- In the army? - Yes, I needed a job when I left.
- You wanted to be on TV right away. - Yes.
- That's what a hard time means. - All I could do was...
It wasn't like I could work on my sense of variety show.
- You look so skinny. - I decided to work on my look.
It wasn't like I could see myself on TV.
I was losing weight like crazy.
Then I realized after seeing a picture on an article.
- I knew I was crazy. - You lost too much weight.
Were you on a diet?
You look poor after losing so much weight. You could gain some now.
Everyone's asking me...
- if I could even move. - I know.
I'm okay.
How much do you weigh now?
Now? I'm around 50kg.
What was it before joining the army?
Before the army? 59kg.
You were always skinny.
- 58kg. - He's always been skinny.
50kg is too skinny.
- 50kg is not good. - Okay.
- Now, Joon Young. - I had a bad start.
- I feel pity. - Please say hello.
Hello. I'm Jung Joon Young dreaming of becoming the next Kang Kyun Sung.
Just your hair.
Your hair looks classical.
I planned to say it, but it's still funny.
Joon Young's skinny,
but when you compare the two, he looks fat.
- Really? - We should hang out.
I was surprised to see how skinny he could be.
- No. - Joon Young looks fat...
with Kwang Hee next to him.
But Joon Young still looks exhausted.
- Joon Young is skinny, - He's so skinny.
but Kwang Hee is skinnier.
- Do we both look poor? - Yes.
No, just you.
People next to you look healthy.
Look at Seungkwan. He's also skinny,
but now he looks puffy too.
I've just done Pilates for two hours before this.
- Really? - That may be why you look puffy.
Please say hello, Seungkwan.
Hello. I call myself the son of MBC.
- I'm Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN. Hello. - It has so many sons.
I'm jealous of MBC. It has so many sons.
- It has many sons. - MBC gave many birth.
- It has many sons. - Productive MBC.
Please say hello, Haon.
Hello. I'm the winner of "High School Rapper 2".
A rapper who is turning 20 next year, I'm Kim Haon.
What was that? That looks cool.
Haon is the winner of "High School Rapper 2".
- That's right. - We were on a radio show before,
and he was really good. Can we rap for us now?
- Now? - Yes.
- Sure. - Without music?
All of a sudden?
(He didn't take a breath.)
(Jaw dropping)
- He's very good. - He's really good.
He has the sense of rhythm and groove.
- He's born with it. - Kwang Hee was forced to know Haon?
- That's not what I meant. - Yes.
This is what happens when you have an interview here.
We've always been like this.
Radio Star's always been like this.
- I know. - You have no choice but to talk.
- Radio Star never changes. - Right.
- He admits we never change. - How did you get to know him?
This is how I get to know him. I'm not saying I was forced.
- I've never looked up anybody. - Yes. You were in the army.
You don't watch anyone with men in the army.
Right. You shouldn't watch "High School Rapper" in the army.
- Right? - Of course.
I had to monitor who was on TV...
- before I left the army. - You wanted to browse who's on TV.
I tended to watch the shows...
with "Infinite Challenge" members.
It was Jae Seok's show...
- with many guests. - "Kids These Days".
Yes, "Kids These Days".
Haon's on that show.
So I was thinking,
"Why is he on Jae Seok's show?"
- "Why is he with Jae Seok?" - "That is where I belong."
I mean...
"Who does he think he is standing next to Jae Seok?"
They're still the same.
Jae Seok's into him now.
- You're unbelievable. - Keep going.
I knew he must be amazing to be on that show.
During the meeting with the writers, I asked of other guests,
and I was told Haon will be here.
He was stuck in my brain,
so I said, "I know him. He's the new hot guy."
She admitted he is hot, and he's also the winner.
- Right. - I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry about what I had in mind.
It's okay to think that way in my mind.
(He apologizes holding him in check.)
What's soldiers' favorite TV show?
Music shows.
- That's right. - With girl groups?
It's always the music show.
Because people just leave it on.
Do they watch "Show! Music Core" or "Inkigayo"?
- On the weekend? - They asked me if I knew them.
But I didn't know anyone.
- Contact... - They all left?
It's the change of generation. They asked me at the beginning,
then they eventually never talked to me since I don't know any of them.
You don't have exactly good relationship with your colleagues.
I have many celebrity friends. I'm known for being nice.
Did anyone visit you?
No.
People don't pay a visit.
They still do.
- SM Entertainment does. - That's SM Entertainment.
Who could visit me? Choo Sung Hoon?
(He spent time alone in the army.)
This is Kwang Hee's first talk show since he got out of the army.
Radio Star means a lot to you?
Every time I had an issue,
I was on Radio Star.
- I think I've been here 4, 5 times. - Yes.
I was here just before joining the army and "Infinite Challenge".
It's also my first talk show since I left the army.
I feel like things would work out...
when I'm on Radio Star.
Why does he sound weak?
- No, I never felt better before. - Okay, okay.
You wouldn't collapse while talking, would you?
Not at all. Why would you say that?
- I thought... - We're alike.
I've never looked fat before.
- That's true. - Right?
- That's true. - I've never looked fat.
- You're too skinny. - That bad?
- Doesn't your mom say anything? - She's happy.
- What? - She likes my attitude.
I could do anything with it.
"Attitude."
- My mom supports me. - Your mother is something.
That's true.
All right.
Kwang Hee already proved in many shows...
that he's still funny.
Actually, I was worried a lot about that day too.
Because the day of my discharge was really cold,
I thought that a lot of reporters wouldn't come.
When I walked out, there were a lot. There were more than I expected.
(The day of Kwang Hee's discharge)
- That's the day of his discharge. - They went on that day?
So many people and reporters came.
(The place is packed with reporters.)
(Swarming with people)
I would like to announce my discharge as a sergeant.
(He starts having interviews as a civilian.)
I heard that he likes baked goods.
(He starts eating cakes out of the blue.)
(It's as if he's eating tofu.)
I'm glad the clip was entertaining.
Was that entertaining?
- I'm not sure. - No.
(He sounds cold-hearted.)
- I'm sorry. - I don't know.
Gu Ra, you laughed saying it was funny. Why the sudden change?
(Feeling upset)
- Why the sudden change? - Seriously.
I'm here on your show. You must try to make this episode entertaining.
- I shouldn't have come here then. - We only asked two questions.
- Okay, I got it. - But you were going to come anyway.
- I'll do my best to make it funny. - Right.
(He's desperate.)
Joon Young, you said that you did everything you originally...
- wanted to do in 2018. - Seriously.
- I'm so jealous. - You were a professional gamer.
You opened a restaurant in Paris.
- I'm really jealous. - I did.
Are you running the restaurant yourself?
Or did you just lend your name? I'd like to know the exact nature.
- The restaurant? - Yes.
- I run the restaurant. Yes. - Really?
- Do you own the restaurant? - Yes.
- I own half of the resultant. - I see.
- Before this, I ran a street stall. - That's right.
- I wasn't involved much for that. - You ran the street stall.
- You weren't involved. - Really?
But why did you choose Paris out of all places?
- First, Paris is a cool city. - Yes, indeed.
- But it's too far. - It's cool to have it in Paris.
- My partner... - That's nice.
has been helping to do the soft opening this year.
And next year, our goal is to officially launch the restaurant.
We heard that the chef at the restaurant...
was very distinguished.
A chef in Korea was decorated with Michelin stars.
- I visited the chef. - Okay.
I persuaded him to do the pop-up restaurant in Paris for a few days.
The chef willingly agreed to come.
Somehow, a chef, decorated with Michelin stars,
ended up cooking for my restaurant.
- That's why the buzz was all about. - How many tables are there?
We don't have small tables there.
We put a long table in the restaurant.
You have to sit, facing each other.
(The photo is from Joon Young's restaurant.)
The space is tight, but you can talk to each other that way.
- I should go there later. - It's a way of communication.
- It's like type of social dining. - Yes, it's similar to that.
That was a trendy term, you know.
How is it going, by the way?
- So we did the pop-up restaurant. - Okay.
- It was really well-received. - Really?
Entertainment journalists might write about my restaurant in Korea,
but in Paris, my article was printed in the cooking section.
My restaurant was named in the cooking and business section.
- Really? - I guess it's going great.
When I go to Paris, this is how I walk around.
Really? Do people recognize you?
- Of course, not. - They don't recognize him.
- He's just proud of himself. - Hey.
People can't recognize him just because he owns a restaurant.
He gets publicity through his restaurant.
I miss people recognizing me.
(This civilian misses being seen by other people.)
How often do you go to Paris?
Do you go once every month?
- He can't just pick up and go. - I should go next year.
Then do you speak good French?
As for French,
I registered for French classes to run this restaurant.
- I just couldn't learn it. - French is hard.
- I was serving customers. - I heard it was hard.
I didn't need to learn French for that.
But do you know basic French?
"Yes" or "No".
- I can do that much. - "Excuse me."
I can speak basic French.
- What did you just say? - "Excuse me."
- What was that? - Excuse me.
(Acting timid)
- You meant to say, "Excuse me." - Yes.
It sounds similar to that.
(This French man learned to be polite first.)
- You're in SEVENTEEN, Seungkwan. - Seungkwan.
- You're actually the main singer. - You're the main vocalist?
- Yes, that's correct. - Seungkwan is the main vocalist?
- You're the main vocalist. - I see.
Can't you tell I'm a good singer at a glance?
- He's the main vocalist. - Right.
- He has no talent but singing? - Yes.
That line is kind of blurry.
- That's what I think. - That doesn't affect me at all.
- He's not bad-looking, per se. - I got that a lot.
When I look at idol groups,
I can tell who the vocalist is.
(He can guess it right away.)
- It's not just his singing skills. - Right.
- He's really cute. - Exactly.
- I mean... - He sang a lot on "Unexpected Q".
- I did. - And his voice...
actually sounds very manly.
He was very good on "Unexpected Q".
I do believe I contributed a lot to the show.
Hyun Moo said this when he was here.
- Jong Shin, you said that... - Okay.
the program was canceled even before you got to watch it.
- I found about it, and it got cut. - Exactly.
- It's just like... - I heard it was canceled first.
you're saying farewell as soon as you meet.
I was really heartbroken.
- Really? - I see.
I'm sure you're sick of getting this question.
- Let me ask you one last time. - Okay.
- Your group is called SEVENTEEN, - Okay.
but why are there only 13 members?
This must be boring. He's already sick of it.
- You talked about this a lot. - When I...
- I forget every time you tell me. - Right.
- Next year, in January, - Okay.
- it will be my group's fifth year. - Okay.
They keep asking you this question.
- People probably asked this a lot. - I'll explain it once and for all.
- Why is it called SEVENTEEN? - Why is it SEVENTEEN?
Firstly, there are 13 members.
And there are 3 different units within 13 members.
Vocalists, performers, and hip-hop artists.
These are three units.
13 plus 3.
Since we are of 1 team, add 1 to that number.
- I see. - We're one team.
13 plus 3 plus 1 is...
- 17. - That's too hard.
Hence, the number, 17.
I think we did a very good job at coming up with the reason.
- What are the names of the units? - They did sort of force it.
- Team Vocalists. Team Hip-hop... - Team Vocalists.
- Our team is called Team Vocalists. - But if...
we come up with different names for units,
it's confusing.
- The names might confuse people. - Then...
have you released songs as units?
- Yes, we recorded with Jong Shin. - Right.
- It was for February in 2016. - It was only for the vocalists.
- I released a song in February. - Yes.
- The title was "Chocolate". - Right, it was called "Chocolate".
- For Jong Shin's monthly project. - I see.
- Please check it out. - Okay.
- I hope it can climb up again. - Seungkwan is a great singer.
(Hoping that the song would climb up the chart)
This is about Seungkwan.
Seungkwan, do people tell you that you're Little Kwang Hee?
- How? - What do they mean by that?
I think they call me that because I tend to speak my mind...
without worrying about others. When they ask me to do something,
- I don't say no to it. - Is that why?
I think that's the reason.
- Do you think that's true? - Don't you think?
- Yes, it's true. - Do you like his nickname?
Of course. I'm grateful for it.
SEVENTEEN is a popular group.
Is there a big age gap between you and him?
I think so. How old are you?
- I was born in 1998. - I was born in 1988.
- That's a 10-year difference. - That's a huge gap.
- Even I look older. - He's the same age with Dong Hyun.
- Yes, Dong Hyun was born in 1998. - He's Little Kwang Hee.
When I heard that nickname,
I doubted that you had any plastic surgeries done.
- No. - He didn't have any surgeries.
- But... - His nose doesn't suit the name.
Right. No one can have Kwang Hee's nose.
He didn't get dental laminates either.
(Kwang Hee's nose can't be copied.)
- They have natural appearances. - Natural?
That's true.
This is about Haon.
- How old... Were you born in 2000? - Yes.
- I'm 19. I'll be turning 20 soon. - He was born in 2000.
As Kwang Hee waited for his discharge day,
you're waiting to turn 20.
I heard from Dong Hyun that he would be going to a bar...
- on the New Year's Eve. - Okay.
- He'll drink at midnight. - Right.
Is it because of that?
As for me, I'm not that interested in...
drinking or going to clubs.
I always wanted to do...
sleeping at the dry sauna...
and playing games all night long at the PC cafe.
You can't do that before the age of 20?
- Pardon? - Minors aren't allowed to do that?
- No. After 10pm, - Really?
- Do they tell you to leave? - we can't even enter the place.
- They turn away all the minors. - It's not allowed.
- You'll be in a sauna on the 31st? - Yes.
- He wants to go to the dry sauna. - I...
- I like going into dry saunas. - Is that so?
- Salt Room is great. - Salt Room and Red Clay Room.
I see. Salt Room and Red Clay Room.
Haon filmed 3 commercials in 2018.
- He filmed a bank commercial too. - That's amazing.
- Which bank was it for? - Lucky you.
It was KEB Hana Bank.
- That's a major bank. - My goodness.
- I filmed a game commercial. - Okay.
- I filmed one for Sprite too. - I see.
- Jo Bin had to work so hard. - My gosh.
- They didn't pick Jo Bin? - Exactly.
- As for the bank commercial, - H Bank.
out of all the commercials they filmed so far,
the commercial I was in had...
- the most views on YouTube. - I see. The number of views.
- It was for the viral marketing. - It's the highest.
- This time, I... - Kids these days...
point like this when they point at themselves.
- This is different. - Right.
Are you the only one who does that? Or do other kids do the same?
I don't know, but I just do this.
(Chuckling)
- He points his forehead. - Just like this?
- We go like this. - Right. People do that.
- I do that too. - I see.
- Our generation does this. - We point with our thumb.
We used to do this one a lot back in the days.
(That's so old!)
- "This is me." - That's right.
- "This is me"? - We often did this gesture instead.
As for me, I used to do this. "It's me."
Yes, I remember that. Right.
- We used to do this a lot. - This gesture was popular too.
- Remember this? - Every generation had one.
"Why are you doing that to me?"
(It's funny although they don't get the reference.)
What's more is that Haon is in H1GHR MUSIC,
- a label run by Jay Park. - H1GHR MUSIC.
It's called H1GHR MUSIC? Wasn't it called AOMG?
A lot of people are confused about it.
AOMG and H1GHR MUSIC...
are two separate labels.
- They're completely different? - I heard after Jay founded AOMG,
- he founded that label again. - That's right.
- Do both labels belong to him? - Yes.
Mr. Park owns both of the labels.
To put it bluntly,
- he's double-timing these labels. - That's what he's doing?
He's the CEO for both labels.
H1GHR MUSIC is a new label that's been on the rise now.
AOMG is one of the best labels.
They are two separate labels.
- And this necklace. - The necklace.
- I got it when I joined the label. - They give you that.
- That's diamond. - This is 14K.
This is all diamond.
- I see. - He's...
- It's my number one treasure. - He really likes it.
(Bragging)
It's my number one treasure.
Kwang Hee, when you heard about "Infinite Challenge"'s cancelation,
was the news like a bolt out of the blue sky?
- To be honest, yes. - Tell us how you felt.
- You had no place to return to. - You were in the army.
When it had been a year since I had joined the army,
I was resting after having my meal, but all of a sudden,
my friends from my unit came to me. I think they got the call.
They told me that there was an article the program was to end.
I was really taken aback.
I pondered about it for a while.
I wondered if the show was really canceled.
- You were doubting it? - At first,
I thought that it wouldn't be possible.
I was questioning why MBC did nothing when it got canceled.
That's a valid point.
You thought they should stop Kim Tae Ho?
"Infinite Challenge" ran the Entertainment Department.
I'm right, you know.
You wondered why they didn't stop Jae Seok and did nothing.
- I thought why it was canceled. - When it got canceled?
I thought long and hard about it.
Two days later,
I realized...
that they were doing a prank on me.
- That's what you thought? - Come on.
- He's the most positive guy. - Are you serious?
- Yes. - Right.
- When a terrible disaster strikes, - Okay.
- people go into denial. - He thought it was a dream.
- The denial was deep. - Yes, right.
- I thought it was a prank. - You even thought that?
I thought they shouldn't make a big deal out of my service.
Kwang Hee, here's a thing about the pranks.
- They must film you in shock. - That's right.
- They'd get me as I'm discharged. - I see. When you are discharged.
- When you're discharged? - He thought it was a long project.
Will the prank last for two years?
No, it'd be one year. It happened in March.
- That's what you thought? - Will it last for ten months?
- It would last about seven months. - I see.
Am I right? The thing is...
It was when I was going in to serve my military duty.
This is what I told my friends...
when they wanted to have a meal on my discharge day.
"Hey,"
"my members will come get me."
"I'm sorry, but I can't have a meal with you."
- You thought they'd be there. - That's what I said.
- You saw that a lot on TV. - Yes, exactly.
- You thought they'd take you away. - Right.
- MBC deeply hurt this man. - My goodness.
Actually,
Kwang Hee and I have somewhat of a connection.
Right before the program was to be canceled,
they were going to recruit a new member of the show.
Did you apply, Seungkwan?
- It was a precious chance for all. - Right.
About six members of our group...
went to the recruitment meeting of the show.
- You guys went? I see. - Yes.
But I ended up starring on "Unexpected Q" with that meeting.
We didn't know at that time. We went to the meeting.
Before we went inside,
we walked in as we shouted the program's title.
We walked in saying, "Infinite Challenge".
We came out after making them laugh.
I was told that I was to become a regular host on a variety show.
I thanked him,
- but it wasn't that program. - The follow-up program?
- It was a new program. - You should count as a blessing.
- I was still thankful though. - Right.
We asked a question to Kwang Hee,
- Little Kwang Hee finished it. - He stole it.
He's indeed Little Kwang Hee.
- I've been waiting for 15 minutes. - My gosh.
- This is tough. - Exactly.
- I still had one more story. - This is scary.
- You must be considerate now. - Hey.
- See if I had more stuff left. - Exactly.
- Kwang Hee. - He's known for not caring about...
- other people. - Weren't you flustered?
You were talking, but he suddenly stole your spotlight.
Well, I let him take over.
- We should listen to funny stories. - Right.
- I was going to take over then. - Then...
- finish up this story. Go on. - That was good.
- All right. - Okay.
Well, after that,
it had become official that "Infinite Challenge" was canceled.
I was upset about it.
I went to the cafeteria to eat after hearing the news.
In the army, we all eat together in the cafeteria.
About 150 or 200 soldiers ate together.
The moment I walked in there,
the atmosphere was cold...
- because everyone found out. - "Did you hear?"
- This is what had happened. - It happened a long time ago.
- "He has no program to return to." - Right.
"Hey, Kwang Hee is poor now."
He was just like that soldier.
A soldier with his build said the same thing.
He whispered after looking at me on purpose.
This is what he did.
That was really annoying.
Kwang Hee, you know...
- Is that so? - Aren't I trying hard for you?
- Thank you. - Aren't I trying hard?
- He's great. Great job. - Okay.
- That's what had happened. - Go on.
On the first day of the news, I understand the commotion.
It was fine since I just thought people were worried about me,
but it was the same on the second day.
Then I started feeling uncomfortable.
On the third day,
not that many people talked about it.
So this soldier and I came in on the same day.
He and I weren't that close.
He kept whispering about the news.
Like he was making fun of me.
- How did he do that? - He made it sound like...
we were close, but in a sarcastic manner.
"He has no place to go to now."
- "He has nothing. He's poor now." - Yes, exactly.
- "On the day of his discharge..." - "They abandoned him."
You sound like you mean it.
You're very good.
"You're very good."
- I'm helping you out. - That sounded so realistic.
- It's from the bottom of his heart. - Go on.
What did that guy say?
- He said my career was over. - Kwang Hee...
- His career was over? - I was insulted.
And back then, I had my juniors too.
I tried so hard to be patient.
I've never raised my voice once in the army.
I cared about my public status.
I kept my silence, but he kept bullying me.
I was really furious.
"Hey."
"I'm Hwang Kwang Hee."
"Hey, I have a lot of money."
"Hey, you should take care of yourself."
"I have a lot of money and a whole future ahead of me."
- That sounds so realistic. - "Mind your own business."
- "You're so annoying." - You meant it.
"What's your problem?"
- "Darn it." - He's annoyed.
"Just eat your meal."
- That was good. - "Eat that up."
After yelling at him,
I thought my argument was too one-dimensional.
- Yes, the money part was bad. - There were...
- young kids in the army. - Right.
It happened because he backed you into the corner.
- What did he say? - Look at that.
- He didn't say anything. - What else could he do?
Although he's young, since we came on the same day,
he was talking to me without the honorifics.
- But I... - How old was that guy?
- He was really young. - I bet.
- He's of this generation. - They're young.
It was a mess. Those young brats talked to me like we're friends.
Things are like that there.
"Hey, straighten up your back."
I had to hold back when I was there.
These days, they respect you if you're older.
- They don't. - Really?
- Do they call you by your name? - Of course.
They called me, "hey". It was always, "hey".
- "Hey, Hwang Kwang Hee." - "What are you doing?"
"Sweep it. Do it."
- "You..." - "Sweep it?"
"I'll see you after your discharge."
"I'll see you..."
- I was furious time to time. - Really?
When he came in earlier,
he said that he wanted to forget about his service in the army...
and start afresh.
- You're talking about army a lot. - What?
- He said he wouldn't talk about it. - Exactly.
- He told us not to ask him. - Isn't it fun talking about it?
You're right, but...
(Feeling embarrassed)
- All right. - Joon Young.
Su Chan, Tae Hyun's son,
- Yes? - respects you more than...
- his own father, Tae Hyun. - Is that so?
Is that what you said?
- I wouldn't say he respects me. - Okay.
Tae Hyun bought Su Chan his computer.
- Really? - He knows nothing about computers.
- I set it up for him. - You downloaded everything for him.
- I gave him some game items. - You did?
By the way, Joon Young gave him some kind of an item in the game.
- Is it useful? - He gave my son an outfit.
- That's important. - He only talks about that.
- Is it that great? - You know...
- Outfits are expensive. - I gave it to him.
- Can you give it to other users? - Yes, I can give him as a present.
Since I played for a long time, I have a lot of coupons.
- I gave him the outfit. - He sounds quite distinguished.
- Having an item at his age... - Right, right.
seems cool to his friends.
- They'd go nuts for it. - Does it make you powerful?
His friends don't know about that item.
- Exactly. - They'd start asking questions.
He can show off to his friends, saying, "You don't know?"
- You can brag just by having it? - That's what it can do.
- That's how great it is. - Right.
Did Tae Hyun disappoint you recently?
- What is it? - Was it recent?
- You said you were so disappointed. - That? Let me explain.
- Recently, I moved to a new house. - Okay.
I told him that I was moving.
He said he would...
recommend me a good agency.
I liked their service.
They cleaned the place nicely and quickly too.
But towards the end, they broke...
the monitor of my computer.
- So I was... - They made a mistake.
I was a bit disappointed about that at that moment.
- I was disappointed only a bit. - I see.
I told him about what had happened.
Don't they compensate for it?
- They compensated me the next day. - Right, right.
- That's good. - That's their policy.
- That particular team was so good. - Are they good?
- They arrange the furniture too. - They clean the place spotless.
- I'll recommend you that team. - Yes, I should hire them.
The fee is quite expensive.
- It's pricey. - I see.
Well,
but you have a lot of money.
Gosh, I didn't mean it that way. Come on.
(I didn't mean it that way.)
To Haon, Gu Ra is...
only a father of Mr. Dong Hyun whom he respects.
The address, "Mr. Dong Hyun".
- Goodness. Right. - That sounds so foreign.
- He's an adult now. - Right.
- Mr. Dong Hyun. - Mr. Dong Hyun.
- He calls my son Mr. Dong Hyun. - Mr. Dong Hyun.
I'll elaborate. I heard through the grapevine...
that nothing affects him emotionally.
I heard that he's unshakable emotionally...
- although he's around the same age. - He can tolerate everything.
But to tell you the truth,
because I gained all this popularity overnight,
there is a flood of groundless rumors.
I try my best to empty out bad thoughts,
- Meditation wasn't enough. - No, it wasn't.
A lot of times, I'm quite shaken up.
- Did you talk to him about that? - No, no. I didn't.
After hearing about his reputation,
I realized that Mr. Dong Hyun starred appearing on TV...
- when he was a kid with his dad. - He always put his son on TV.
- He was on TV before. - He and I had to run away together.
- Thinking how hard it must've been, - That's right. Yes.
I want to meet him someday and have a conversation together.
- By the way... - Dong Hyun takes care of the youth.
- Dong Hyun is older than he is. - Of course.
- Let's meet if you can. - That's a great idea.
Haon.
You said that Gook Jin is popular among younger kids.
Really?
- Is that so? Why? - Why is he popular?
There's a meme we circulate among my crew.
- The one with candles? - Yes, it's the moving clip. Yes.
- What's that one? - There's one with candles.
- That one is famous. - When we post it on our chats,
everyone laughs at it.
- They find that funny. - I see.
(This is Gook Jin's legendary clip with candles.)
(He's shocked again.)
(He's the destroyer of the candles.)
(In a daze)
I remember him from that clip.
- I see. The candle clip. - That's how I remember him.
We don't know what will be popular next.
For people in my generation, we remember his line, "Hello?"
But kids around his age don't know that line.
- They find this funny. - That's the most famous one.
The clip with the candles.
And earlier, we talked about it.
What is this?
- The Dean Milli clip? - That one is famous too.
- Is that so? - He wore the bucket hat.
That episode aired only a few days ago.
- He's funny at unexpected times. - Exactly.
- Is that so? - That time...
(But this is a bit...)
(Doesn't this look terrible?)
(Prince Baby Octopus, Dean Milli, and Beware it's not a fishing site.)
(Aren't you being too harsh because I don't know fashion?)
- The fisherman outfit? - Among the younger generation...
I was funny in the clip. I wore that helmet.
(From Gu Ra's point of view, this was the funny clip.)
Is that so?
- We must understand it instantly. - Really?
- It's famous among the kids. - That's odd.
- This is strange indeed. - He didn't mean that to happen.
He's a sought-after star.
(You have my respect.)
Seungkwan, did you kill the mood when you did...
Kim Kyung Ho's impression in front of Kyung Ho?
- Yes. - You did his impression?
I was on a KBS show. It was about the legendary songs.
- I was to sing famous songs. - "Immortal Songs".
Moon Hee Joon kept on urging me to do his impression.
- Yes, he always requests that. - Whenever I was on the show,
I always did Kyung Ho's impression that Kwun Hyuk Soo would do.
I did the impression.
Since it was always funny,
Hee Joon suggested that I should do the impression...
- in Kyung Ho's presence. - Right in front of him.
I said okay.
I can't find you, nightingale
I did his impression like this.
- That was great. - He's great.
- I did this several times. - It won't air then.
- He should make you do it once. - Right.
- When I was doing it, - It wasn't fun even for you.
I realized this wasn't an impression that people like me for.
But you're going to do Jong Shin's impression today?
- No one really does my impression. - Will you?
- It's when Jong Shin sings. - Okay.
From his monthly project he released last year,
there's a song named "Wi-Fi".
- "Wi-Fi". - Right.
For the chorus of the song...
- The highlight of the song... - The song stops.
gets spotty like Wi-Fi.
(I will move on, on, on, on)
(The Wi-Fi malfunctions.)
- You have to listen to the song. - What is this song?
(The Wi-Fi signal gets weaker little by little.)
What is this?
- You have to listen to the song. - Do you really sing like this?
(Look at our lives)
- He really sings like this? - Yes.
- Hear me out. - Hold on.
Look at our lives
I sang it like this.
I chopped it up.
- Really? - I chopped it up.
- Or... - Sing how he sang the song.
- Sing it like that. - I didn't sing it like that.
- Try it. - He didn't sing it like that.
I will move on, on, on, on
The note should stay the same.
- I can't sing like that. - I will move on, on, on, on
(Seungkwan's Wi-Fi spreads to the world.)
Play the original song.
- That's right. - I altered the sample later.
He loves it when someone sings his song.
Everyone, listen to the song.
- "Wi-Fi". - Zico featured the song.
That's right.
I am in the marketing team of "Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin".
Thank you.
- He is loving it. - I know.
I listened to the song so many times.
- Seungkwan is good. - Jong Shin captured...
the currently society...
- in his song, "Wi-Fi". - You are taking this too far.
Joon Young's specialty is copying other people's specialties.
- Copy this. - He is really flustered.
- He is really flustered. - Go ahead.
They asked me if I have a specialty, so I said, "Of course not."
Then I offered to copy someone else's specialty.
He doesn't know the song well.
(Seungkwan's Wi-Fi connects once more.)
(He is in a tight position.)
I will play the song.
- You don't need to play it! - Come on.
- He needs to hear it. - Stop it already.
- Let's hear it. - Then people will get my specialty.
- No, no. - Let's hear it.
- You want to promote your song. - Let's hear it.
- It won't be funny anymore. - We shouldn't hear the song.
- This is wrong. - You should hear the original song.
It will be funny.
- For goodness' sake. - Let's hear it.
I swear I am not trying...
- to promote the song. - We shouldn't hear the song.
I am doing this for the show.
- Seungkwan did this. - Let's hear it.
This is the song.
(He turns up the volume.)
Here it comes.
(I will move on, on, on, on)
That's how it goes.
(This is it.)
What Seungkwan did was much funnier.
- Seriously. - This is the original song.
Seungkwan made it funnier.
Kwang Hee, can you do it?
- I... - Give it a try.
- Give it a try. - My goodness.
You should challenge yourself and show something.
(I will move on)
- You need to hold your breath. - The notes are high.
- The notes are high. - Seungkwan is good.
- The notes are high. - Hey, Hwang Kwang Hee.
You have no singing skills!
I have a lot of money!
- My goodness. - When this episode airs,
please use the music video.
- Stop it already. - "Please use the music video."
The music video is good.
Joon Young will be able to do it.
I will move on
- Try it. - I can do it.
(I will move on, on, on, on)
- There you go. - I can do it.
Please listen to the song.
Kwang Hee... Am I at the right question?
- No. - It's this one.
Okay, okay.
You got so caught up in promoting your song.
- I will move on - Stop it already.
- Again. - Pay attention to the script.
(I will take your spot, spot, spot, spot)
I am glad you are here.
- Good job. - Seungkwan, you are the best.
(Jong Shin is moved.)
(I can't win against them.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with the guests...
who are making the most of their year-end with Radio Star.
The theme is "Holding the End of This Year". Shall we begin the talk?
(Singing)
What is wrong with you?
Please stop, Mr. Yoon.
- Mr. Yoon. - You are in your 50s now.
You are in your 50s now.
(Okay, okay, okay)
- My goodness. - Look up the song, okay?
He is unbelievable.
He told me the last time that he doesn't worry about music charts.
I don't!
Kwang Hee was discharged from the army...
at the end of the year.
I heard that being in the army taught you the solar terms.
In the army, you become sensitive about the weather...
because you do the roll call outside.
- I got discharged on Heavy Snow. - Heavy Snow.
However, it didn't snow.
What other solar terms do you know?
- Heavy Snow. - Do you know Rain Water?
- Rain Water? - Do you know what it is?
It means it rains a lot.
- That's not what it is. - Awakening of Insects.
Do you know what it is?
- I know what it is. - Awakening of Insects.
- When is it? - Spring.
- He doesn't know. - He doesn't know.
- Spring. - He only knows Heavy Snow.
- That's not true. - Heavy Snow.
- You don't even know Rain Water. - I know four solar terms.
- What are they? - Start of Spring.
Vernal Equinox. Summer Solstice.
Winter Solstice.
- You should know Start of Spring. - Start of Spring.
- He said it. - You should know Start of Autumn.
- That means it's autumn. - Major Cold.
That means it's really cold.
- Minor Cold. - That means it's a bit cold.
(Kwang Hee has a simple way of explaining the solar terms.)
Kwang Hee must have stayed diligent in the army.
We received a tip-off from a senior officer.
- A tip-off from a senior officer? - While the others used blush...
- You mean a brush. - I am sorry.
- While the others used a brush... - You are focused on your promotion!
Stop it. Stop it already.
- For goodness' sake. - Seriously.
Why would you soldiers use blush?
- They used a brush. - A brush.
I thought there was only one toilet.
A solo toilet.
- The pronunciation is similar. - A solo toilet.
There isn't a duo toilet.
There could be such thing.
- My goodness. - I am sorry.
A senior officer told us that while the others used a brush,
Kwang Hee used his hands to clean the toilet.
- My goodness. - Really?
In the beginning,
I didn't want people to say that celebrities slack off.
I wanted to do my job right to avoid any criticism.
I wore rubber gloves and cleaned the toilet nicely.
- I did that. - You did your job right.
- Yes. - Were there any hardships?
The training that involves a gas mask was hard.
The gas makes your eyes burn.
- It passes quickly. - The gas itself was fine.
The more you tighten the mask,
- the safer you are. - That's right.
To avoid inhaling gas, I tightened the mask to my best.
The mask was on so tight that I couldn't pull it off easily.
The strings were so tight...
- that the mask stayed on. - What did you do?
I didn't inhale any gas,
but I almost ripped my nose and forehead off outside.
- My goodness. - It was so tight.
You spend a lot of money on your face.
Had I ruined my face that way,
people would have called me a plastic monster.
Seriously.
I would have become an easy prey.
- An easy prey? - Yes.
- All right. - You have a lot of money.
Gosh, you are so mean.
He is pretty mean.
"You are so mean."
You can't attack Tae Hyun because he has a nice image, right?
He established himself as a nice man.
Attacking him would make people criticize me.
Think about it.
I am the only person you can attack without reservation.
That's right. You take my attacks with your chin.
(His chin defends him from any attacks.)
Kwang Hee was an outsider at the army...
- because of new expressions. - An outsider?
Yes.
When I was a corporal,
other soldiers and I weeded the area.
"Corporal Hwang Kwang Hee, it was an I.D."
- "I.D." - Yes.
Since it was near a mealtime, I thought he was talking about food.
I said, "I like season chicken."
You didn't understand him.
- He must have been flustered. - I would have done the same.
- How embarrassing! - The others became flustered.
What does I.D. mean?
- "Instant delete". - "Instant delete".
It means a task deleted time in an instant.
- These days... - What has been deleted?
- Time. - Time.
- That's what it means. - It means you finished quickly.
I see.
Gook Jin didn't understand.
If the shoot ends fast, you could say,
"The shoot was an I.D."
- That's how it's used. - I.D.
Back in the days, we said,
"Time goes chop-chop."
- That's right. - Chop-chop.
Is that a name for a cigarette brand?
No, it isn't.
You have a lot to learn.
(Was I wrong?)
It was the day before our furlough.
My friends went, "Kwang Hee, shall we play the B.G. tomorrow?"
I said, "It's too hot to play sports."
Did they mean "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"?
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
- "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"? - Yes.
- Of course you were confused. - I didn't know the game.
I don't play games. I have no interest in games.
Kids these days use expressions like...
Can I use "Super good"?
- You can't use that on TV. - I can't, right?
- No, you can't. - That's why you use "JMT".
- JMT? - It's an abbreviation.
He would know those expressions the most.
(He is the insider of the day.)
Haon, I heard that you achieved all of your goals...
and are living an empty life.
- My goodness. - You achieved all of your goals.
- My goodness. - He isn't even 20 years old.
I did have a lot of goals.
When I quit school, I gave my parents...
a list of my goals.
"Be famous enough to be recognized by many people."
"Have enough money to support myself."
Those were the goals and I achieved them.
You made that list when you quit school.
I made that list...
to convince my parents.
Now that I achieved them, I feel aimless.
I don't know what to do now.
- It's understandable. - You came up with that list...
to convince your parents to let you quit school.
Yes. I wanted to let them know...
that I am not kicking up a fuss...
to simply avoid going to school.
Did they give you permission right away?
My mother did. She said, "Do what you want."
She is like that.
My father wanted me to take the right path.
What convinced your father in the end?
Father thought...
he had convinced me to stay in school.
We carried on as we always did. When we were dining out,
I took out my list of goals to achieve after leaving school...
and gave it to him. I told him,
"Father, I want to quit school."
He read it and cried.
I cried as well.
- Of course. - We cried together.
He said, "Let's talk later. I will make sure to read this."
Three days later, we had a talk.
"Are you certain?"
I told him that I am.
You didn't cause troubles when you were in school, did you?
"Don't cause anyone damage" is the rule I live by.
- That's your motto. - Yes.
Even when I do what I want, I don't cause anyone damage.
In which grade did you quit school?
- You were in high school. - I was in 11th grade.
- 11th grade. - You could have learned music...
without quitting school. Why did you quit school?
I thought that at first. When I was in middle school,
I wanted to quit school after having...
a successful musical career. I tried my best in 10th grade,
but I became too exhausted.
I thought, "Do I need to stay in school?"
"I don't even focus on my studies."
"I don't think this will help me much."
It occurred to me that my life will be satisfactory...
if I spend my energy...
doing what makes me happy.
He has a clear view of life.
- That's right. - He does have a clear view of life.
He convinced his parents in an upright way.
I became well-known...
through "High School Rapper".
Apparently, many people quit school without any plans...
upon hearing about my story.
- There was that ripple effect. - People copied you.
Byung Jae and Ro Han, who were also on the show,
had quit school as well.
The 3 of us placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
- There was that ripple effect. - My goodness.
When parents see that...
- When parents see that... - That's right.
- It's a bad program. - It's a bad influence.
There was that ripple effect.
This is what I want to say to those people.
- Right. - We quit school because we had...
clear goals and plans.
Even if you want to quit,
you should think about it one more time.
Write a plan to see if your resolution is solid.
Create your future path...
- before you decide. - You know,
the high school students who are watching might say,
"How could he tell us not to quit school..."
"when he did it himself?"
"What kind of a double standard is that?"
"We want to quit school."
"We have plans." They might think that.
I don't want them to have regrets.
- You don't have regrets. - No, I don't.
It may not be a school. You could be tied to a company...
or something else.
If you have a dream as well as resolution and plan...
- to go with it, - My goodness.
you won't have any regrets...
if you leave and go your own way.
- My goodness. - Kwang Hee is learning a lot.
- He has swag. - What?
- He has swag. - He has swag.
It's no wonder he is successful.
It's no wonder he is a guest of this show.
I can see why he is popular.
(Kwang Hee is jealous of his swag.)
Joon Young, during the preliminary interview,
you wanted the MCs to call you the best insider.
- The best insider. - Is Joon Young an insider?
Now that I think about it,
I have a lot of friends and acquaintances...
- around the world. - That's true.
- I think... - He is an insider.
the expression describes me perfectly.
There is a reason why he is the best insider.
He is good at "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
- That's all you need. - That makes him an insider.
That's all you need.
Then you can have fun at internet cafes.
How good are you? Are you a top player?
I am not a top player among the professionals,
but I am better at the game...
than non-professionals.
There are different criteria for being an insider.
Does Kwang Hee qualify as an insider in any way?
I have Instagram.
Isn't that enough?
- That should be enough. - He isn't an insider.
- Tell me. - Kwang Hee doesn't qualify.
Listen.
I was once the top idol singer in variety shows.
Does begging make you an insider?
- Listen. - It's the same everywhere.
- Tell us if he is an insider. - That's right.
- Does he qualify... - Is he an insider?
- as an insider? - Take a look.
I am wearing designer clothes today.
- My goodness. - He is an outsider!
- That's not true. - An outsider would say that.
These clothes are from this season.
An outsider would say that.
I have Adidas sneakers! I am an outsider, right?
- You are only an expensive man. - He is an outsider.
- Seriously. - Hurry up and tell me.
It was a bit disappointing.
- What do you mean? - He didn't know what "JMT" meant.
It was a bit disappointing.
We just say, "It's super good."
We don't say something like "JMT".
(Kwang Hee becomes upset.)
- My goodness. - It's frustrating,
isn't it?
"Insider" and "Outsider" are...
terms they use.
People who are around Haon's age.
Kwang Hee, you can't be an insider.
- Gosh, do I need to give up? - Kwang Hee...
doesn't stay in touch when he has a lot of work.
That's why it's hard for you to become an insider.
It's not in his character.
He needs to hang out with people,
but he focuses only on his work when he joins a program.
To be honest,
I am really jealous of Joon Young.
Both of us were in similar programs. We are about the same age...
and we worked as singers.
I am jealous that...
he pursues his dreams in a free-spirited way.
Now, I want to live like Joon Young.
When he was in "Infinite Challenge", I would ask him to hang out.
- He would refuse. - "I can't. I can't go out."
"Why not? Do you have a shoot?" "No, I am at home."
"Why can't you come?" "I don't want to harm the program."
I didn't do that! Hey!
I thought he was crazy.
I had to be ready!
I thought he was crazy.
- Was he worried about rumors? - He was worried that...
he would get drunk and do something problematic.
"One Night Two Days" doesn't have that problem.
- Not really. - It doesn't have that problem.
"One Night Two Days" doesn't have such a strong fandom.
If a member of "One Night Two Days" causes harm,
the production crew replaces him promptly.
- My goodness. - It's no problem.
They can always find someone to join the shoot.
- Seriously. - Joon Young once gave me a call.
"Let's hang out."
"I can't because I have a shoot the day after tomorrow."
"When is your shoot?" He said it's tomorrow.
He still wanted to hang out.
"Shouldn't you get some rest the day before the shoot?"
"Why? The shoot is fun."
He truly enjoys the shoots.
I want to live like Joon Young.
How does he whip him into shape two days before the shoot?
I am so surprised.
For someone who does that,
he is too quiet.
- I am really bad, right? - That's right.
That's right.
The day before the shoot for "Infinite Challenge",
- I went to bed at 8pm. - You were sensitive.
I was sensitive.
Even when I wore plugs, I heard the noise...
because my family wasn't asleep.
Why would you wear plugs?
- Ear plugs. - Ear plugs.
You aren't an insider.
Even when I wore ear plugs,
I heard the noise.
My family couldn't eliminate noise completely.
- They said you made a fuss, right? - Since I complained too much,
my family said, "Don't act like you are doing something important."
"Sleep during the shoot."
"It's not like you are really funny."
During the preliminary interview, Kwang Hee said...
he has no regrets about "Infinite Challenge".
However, a senior officer told us...
he scheduled his furlough on the day of the shoot.
To him, "Infinite Challenge" was the main show.
- A soldier can't be on a show. - That's right.
I wanted to visit the shoot. I missed the members.
I can't visit every member during the furlough.
There are members I particularly like,
- but I can't show favoritism. - That's right.
That's why I wanted to visit them when they are together.
Whom did you visit after discharge? You visited Jae Seok.
- You can tell us. - You visited Jae Seok.
I visited Jae Seok whenever I could.
- Jae Seok and Myung Soo. - Of course you did.
Did you visit Myung Soo?
- No. - Didn't you visit him?
- He will become sullen. - Haha.
- Did you visit Haha? - No.
- Did you only visit Jae Seok? - Did you only visit Jae Seok?
- He is the only one who matters. - That's true.
I visited Jae Seok whenever I could.
(Laughing)
When his baby was born, I sent him baby clothes.
I even visited him at the shoot of "Running Man".
It's no wonder he became flustered...
when he saw Haon by Jae Seok's side.
(His efforts didn't pay off.)
Seungkwan, "Running Man" made you...
count your chickens before they are hatched.
Soon after we debuted, our manager said,
"You will be on 'Running Man'."
"My goodness!"
"We will be the sole guests of 'Running Man'!"
We went to a gym as we were notified.
When we entered,
we saw 100 celebrities.
I remember that episode.
(There were 100 celebrities and 100 noncelebrities in total.)
It was 100 versus 100 Special.
- I remember that episode. - There were 100 celebrities.
In that special,
I became the final guest.
- Really? - Yes.
I hid and pretended to be a cameraman.
When did you count your chickens before they are hatched?
We thought we were the only guests.
They thought they were the only guests.
- Haven't you been paying attention? - There were senior artists, too.
That's how he counted his chickens before they are hatched.
I didn't know, know, know
Stop it.
It became quiet.
I sang quietly.
(Stop it now, now, now, now.)
For your appearance on "Unexpected Q",
you want to win the Newcomer Awards...
at "MBC Entertainment Awards".
Everyone wants to win an award.
For how long did "Unexpected Q" air?
- 3 or 4 months. - 3 months.
Kwang Hee, will you be there?
I will be there to give the award.
- I see. - Yes.
It will be nice to show my face...
because a lot of people watch award ceremonies.
Seriously.
What will you wear that day?
- What will I wear? - Yes.
Wear Kenzo.
I will wear Saint Laurent.
(Laughing)
You don't know what it is, right?
- Only insiders know. - Saint Laurent.
Outsiders call it Yves Saint Laurent.
I took out "Yves".
Insiders call it Saint Laurent.
- Haon understood everything. - Of course.
You know what it is, right?
Swag.
(Haon is nice enough to laugh.)
Are you hoping for the Newcomer Award?
Yes, my fans are writing...
a lot of requests on the website.
"Seungkwan is the only candidate this year."
I agree with them.
Who is your rival?
Among newly debuted singers,
- there is JooE. - She is a strong candidate.
- Seriously. - JooE of MOMOLAND is...
- a strong candidate. - Her specialty?
I can do it as well.
(She showed this specialty on Radio Star.)
I can do it as well.
She is a strong candidate.
She is so good that she visited "Unexpected Q" 3 or 4 times.
She even won a ssireum competition on "Knowing Bros".
She is a strong candidate.
I felt competitive every time she visited the show,
but I think...
I distinguished myself a bit more on MBC.
They could give the award to a man and a woman.
It's possible.
(We look forward to seeing them together.)
Joon Young, you are also hoping for an award...
- from KBS. - He will probably win something.
KBS should give me an award.
(Confident)
Do you think you deserve an award?
Of course. We worked so hard.
Every member of "One Night Two Days" has received an award.
- Joon Ho. - That's right.
It's about time Joon Young receives an award.
KBS gives out awards well. Come to KBS.
- Okay. - It could be...
from any broadcasting station.
He said, "Come to KBS" on an MBC program.
I am sorry.
It's not like you will only do MBC programs.
I once received an award from MBC.
When I was on "We Got Married", I won the Star of the Year Award.
I took the stage...
and there were 20 recipients.
(MBC failed to make it up to him.)
Star of the Year Award.
Next comes the Star of the Year Award.
Song Chong Gug, Lee Jong Hyuk, Yoon Min Soo,
Ryu Su Young, Son Jin Young,
Yoon Han, Son Na Eun, and Taemin.
(And Jung Joon Young)
(There were 9 recipients, not 20.)
- Still, - It's like that.
- it felt good. - That's the award ceremony.
That's right.
(This year, he was a candidate for Excellence Award.)
(He only clapped at a distance.)
We talked about you being a professional gamer.
When you became one, you felt like the world was your oyster.
That's right. If you are a man,
being a good gamer...
- earned you popularity in school. - That's right.
- Now that I had an official title, - That's right.
I looked so fabulous.
(I looked so fabulous.)
- I looked so fabulous. - You did?
- He felt good about himself. - I found myself fabulous.
I looked a little pathetic when I played games to pass time.
- But it's your job now. - You're a pro gamer now.
- Now, I have... - It's your job now.
a customized mouse...
and a customized keyboard.
I also set up the distance between the monitor and my eyes...
and the angle at which I view the monitor.
Since I got my own equipment,
suddenly, I looked so cool.
Are you planning to continue this career?
I'm practicing in order to play at next year's match.
Did you make a profit from it?
That doesn't matter...
because I've become a pro gamer.
At a contest, I'm sitting with my team members.
I hear, "Please stand by."
My hands start sweating.
It's different from playing games at an internet cafe as an amateur.
When I went to an internet cafe as an amateur,
people came up to me to ask me to take a photo with them.
But after I became a pro gamer,
people watch me from behind.
- I see what you mean. - He's focusing on the game.
- When they watch me, - That's exciting.
- I can feel them watching me. - That's right.
They watch me behind me.
(Pro Gamer Jung Joon Young)
I look back to see them,
they say hello to me.
(Exclaiming)
- That's cool. - You act cool.
That's super awesome.
- That's the best moment. - That's super awesome.
(Haon blurted out an expression that kids these days use.)
- He's a popular guy. - I mean it.
Do young people use that expression?
As if he's saying, "I'm a pro now."
He said, "super awesome".
(He is very fabulous.)
Joon Young...
goes on a lot of trips.
When he travels overseas,
he always eats at a Korean restaurant.
That's right.
My, that's super awesome.
Why did you say that?
That is unbelievable.
You eat at a Korean restaurant?
- "Super awesome". - That's super awesome.
He doesn't know how to use that expression properly.
- It's totally awesome. - He's an outsider.
- His timing is off. - It's super awesome.
- Eating local food is awesome. - He sounds a bit angry.
- Why do you eat Korean food? - Why is that?
I'm not sure.
Since I have traveled overseas a lot...
and lived overseas for a long time,
I have no curiosity about foreign food.
And when I eat Korean food in a foreign country,
Korean food tastes the most delicious.
- There are good Korean restaurants. - That's right.
Some restaurants have amazingly good food.
- In Los Angeles, - There are a lot in Los Angeles.
there's a restaurant that's famous for its soft tofu stew and ribs.
There's a great Korean restaurant in Paris.
Where is it? Of course I know that restaurant.
Trendy people these days call this TMI.
- I said something unnecessary. - That's right.
(They learned another expression used by trendy people.)
Haon, when you travel overseas, do you write...
- "traveler" in occupation? - Well, I...
don't think they pay attention to my occupation.
- So I wrote I was a traveler. - A traveler?
However,
I didn't mean that I travel overseas a lot to see new things.
- A traveler of life? - Exactly.
- I consider life as a journey. - I see.
We just stay for a while and then leave.
- I'm impressed. - That's awesome.
My goodness.
I just want to learn new things and enjoy my life.
- Just know that your just began. - I know.
(He's only 19. His journey just began.)
You can say you only traveled as far as Japan...
- from Korea. - Actually,
- I've been to only Japan. - You have a long way to go.
(He gives TMI all of a sudden.)
You should write your occupation...
when you fill in the landing card.
I was shocked when I went to the US.
I went there for a concert, so I wrote that I was a singer.
- "Are you a singer?" - Did it make you feel determined?
I said, "Yes, I'm a singer."
Then he said, "Sing a song."
- So many thoughts came to my mind. - I bet he was joking.
"If I don't sing here,"
- "will I be rejected?" - That's possible.
- So did you sing? - But it would hurt my pride.
He asked me to sing.
I used to think
(His pride is gone.)
He sang a peaceful song.
- Many Koreans were behind me. - They could hear you.
So I quietly sang the song.
I used to think
He smiled and said he was joking.
I got annoyed and said, "Okay. Thank you." And then I left.
"I wanted to keep it a secret. I shouldn't have said it."
(He acted cool too late.)
(Why did I say that?)
Tae Hyun is also a fan of Haon's.
- Haon is very popular these days. - Tae Hyun talks about him a lot.
- I'm a big fan of his. - You met a top star on the street,
and he asked you to give him your number.
Well...
(The private lives of the kids these days...)
(will be revealed shortly.)
(My goodness! Is this okay?)
(Save your dignity as an idol star!)
(As the evil Gu Ra encourages him,)
(Seungkwan goes overboard.)
(Imagining it alone makes you happy.)
(Let's meet in Part 2.)
Not long ago, you met a top star on the street,
and he asked you to give him your number.
Well...
It was when I had mop top hair.
I needed to take a taxi to go somewhere.
I heard a scary voice calling me.
He called me, "Hey." Like this.
I thought someone was provoking me.
I was scared because my manager wasn't there with me. I thought...
- he was provoking me. - Can we guess who he was?
- Give us a hint. - Right.
Imitate his voice.
- To see if Kwang Hee still has it. - I do what?
I want to see if you haven't lost your touch.
- What are you talking about? - I see.
- Let's see if you still have it. - Okay.
- Do his impersonation. - Imitate his voice.
Think you're on "Unexpected Q".
"Hey."
- I think it's Ma Dong Seok. - No.
- It's Park Myung Soo. - I think it's Gu Ra.
Is he Park Sung Woong?
- I don't think so. - One of you got it right.
- He's a top star. - One of you got it right.
- Is he Park Myung Soo? - Who was he?
- One of us got it right. - Really?
(I haven't lost my touch, have I?)
- It's Ma Dong Seok. - Correct.
- Right. - Ma Dong Seok?
- I said that too. - I knew it was Ma Dong Seok.
- It was Dong Seok. - That was all I could think of.
- It was Dong Seok. - "Hey."
It was Dong Seok.
He was sitting a large van with his arm out the window.
- He was looking at me. - "Hey."
You must've been scared.
I was startled.
- I had mixed feelings. - It must've been like a movie.
It felt like I was in a movie, and I was scared at the same time.
It was when his movie, "The Outlaws", was popular.
I said hello to him.
Then he said, "I'm a fan of yours."
"Give me your phone number."
- What was that? - I was taken aback.
"Why is he asking for my number?"
"Give me your phone number!"
(It's not hard to imagine the situation.)
- Like in his movie, "The Outlaws". - Right.
I felt honored...
that I met such a famous actor.
- So did he call you after that? - Yes, he contacted me often.
He asked if things were going well for me.
- I'm grateful. - He likes music.
He also invited me to his movie premieres.
- He played in many movies. - Did you attend them?
- He invited me twice. - I see.
But I had so much work every single day back then.
- So I couldn't attend none of them. - You were too busy to go there.
(You were too busy to go there.)
You're super awesome.
That's understandable.
(Flustered)
He didn't attend the events that Dong Seok invited him to.
My sincere apology.
If you invite me just one more time,
I will make sure to be there no matter what.
(Please invite me one more time.)
That would be great.
Kwang Hee, there's a TV show you want to be back on...
other than "Infinite Challenge"?
- Yes, there is one. - Is there?
- It's a cooking show. - I know that.
- It's on EBS. Leeteuk hosts it. - That's right.
- Leeteuk talked about the show. - What did he say?
He said he started to host the show when you enlisted in the military.
He got attached to the show.
He seemed to be hooked on the show.
(In last week's episode,)
("The Best Cooking Secrets"! "The Best Cooking Secrets"!)
(Leeteuk didn't stop talking about "The Best Cooking Secrets".)
I think Leeteuk was conscious about Kwang Hee.
He might have.
- He emphasized that show. - He talked a lot about it.
I'm sorry. It's Leeteuk's show now.
Before I enlisted in the military,
the staff told me...
that they wanted to hire an idol star, and asked me to recommend one.
- Before you enlisted? - Yes.
Since I worked hard to host this show,
I wanted a good entertainer to take it over.
So I recommended Leeteuk.
I said I would call Leeteuk and ask him about it.
"Leeteuk, I'll enlist in the military soon,"
"so I need someone to host my TV show while I'm gone."
"So I recommended you. What do you say?"
In fact, at first, he was not...
enthusiastic about the offer.
- Right. He told us that. - "What show? When is it aired?"
"Okay. I'll think about it and let you know."
Then I enlisted in the military.
And he took over my position as the host of my show.
When I was about to be discharged from the military,
I texted the writer of the show. She was supposed to contact me.
I texted her,
"Winter is coming, and I'll be discharged soon."
She replied, "Oh, really? Congratulations, Kwang Hee."
She feels a bit distant.
So I...
Since it might've been hard for her to offer me the job,
- I said... - "Is Leeteuk with you?"
No. I wouldn't do that.
- I would never act like that. - "Is Leeteuk with you now?"
"The cooking teacher who was on the TV show..."
"The cooking teacher who appeared on the show wants to eat with us."
"The three of us should meet up soon."
"You, the cooking teacher, and I."
She replied, "Is that right? Let's meet up some time."
I had this feeling that I wouldn't get to host the show again...
because Leeteuk has been doing so well as a host,
and that Leeteuk didn't want to let it go either.
- He had no intention of giving up. - Really?
- Are you serious? - He seemed determined.
- Watch the episode later. - Right. Watch the episode.
He made it clear that he's the host of the show.
He shouldn't do that to me.
He was reluctant to take up the job when I asked.
Tell us honestly. Do you want that job back?
Well...
- Tell us honestly. - The question we just asked...
You're an ambitious idol star. Be honest with us.
The question was if there's any show he wants to be back on.
- We didn't know either. - He wants to be back on the show.
Leeteuk was so attached to the show. That's how we came to know that.
- Didn't Leeteuk... - He doesn't want to let it go.
- talked too much about the show? - Right.
- He talked about it a lot. - Exactly.
- This is like a silent war. - That's right.
Leeteuk, if you had manners, you should've handed it over to me.
I handed it over to you.
- Are you asking for it back? - You know what I mean.
However, the writer's text shows how she felt.
- That's right. - She seemed distant.
- "Let's meet up soon." - "Oh, you've been discharged."
"Congratulations."
The competition among the idol stars in their 30s is intense.
- Of course. To get a position. - It's so intense.
- We need to make ends meet too. - They work individually now.
My group members are all working as actors now.
Im Si Wan and Park Hyung Sik earn a lot by filming commercials.
How should I earn money now?
(We hope you will have a lot of work in 2019.)
Joon Young, you felt the happiest in 2018...
when you got unexpected days off.
I've been quite busy this year.
I made my debut as a professional gamer and did many other things.
When we get enough air time for "One Night Two Days",
our filming schedule gets cancelled.
- That's right. - We have enough to be air.
When the filming schedule gets cancelled like that,
- I get a lot of free time. - Does that make you happy?
- Of course. He gets paid anyway. - The moment it's cancelled...
- He doesn't get paid. - No, he doesn't.
- He doesn't. - Oh, right.
- I wish that happens every day. - I was mistaken.
I wish I could get paid without working.
He gets paid for each episode. That's what I thought.
- That should be a dream job. - Exactly.
How great it would be.
Imaging it alone makes me happy.
- I liked unexpected days off. - I see.
When the filming gets cancelled like that,
- I have 2 or 4 weeks... - Right.
- of free time. - You can just leave.
- That's right. I feel envious. - Right.
Enjoy your free time before you get married.
You can't travel a lot when you're married.
He can travel with his wife... Oh, it wouldn't be fun.
Of course. You would rather stay at home than travel with your wife.
That's right.
- You would rather stay at home. - That wouldn't be a holiday.
- My goodness. - It's better to stay at home.
- I would stay in Yongsan. - You can't get rest.
- Right. - I don't travel overseas often.
I couldn't think of that.
Seungkwan wants to become a radio show host as well.
- He's really amazing. - He already came up with...
the radio show title and the opening line. What's the show title?
On which radio station will you do your show?
- I haven't thought about it. - I see.
- I just thought to myself. - "Seungkwan's..."
"Boo Seungkwan's Sponge Cake".
- "Boo Seungkwan's Sponge Cake"? - Why sponge cake?
I want my radio show to be relaxing.
- Soft and sweet like sponge cake? - Yes.
Just like "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook",
- I see what you mean. - "Kim Jung Eun's Chocolate",
- So it's sponge cake? - and "Yoon Do Hyun's Love Letter",
it's "Boo Seungkwan's Sponge Cake".
How about "Boo Seungkwan's Taiwanese Sponge Cake"?
- His sweater looks like it. - You mean Taiwanese sponge cake?
- Do you like it? - Yes.
I wrote my own script.
"It's a sunny afternoon. I'm your host Boo Seungkwan."
"I see. The traffic is bad?"
"Don't worry. If you wait a little while,"
"the traffic will get better. Thank you."
- Like this. - What was that?
- So it's an afternoon show? - Yes.
- What about a night show? - A night show?
I would make my voice sound deeper.
"You had a long day today?"
"I will be by your side as you fall asleep."
Why would you be by their sides?
- Are you a ghost or something? - No.
"As you fall asleep"?
Only those who have a handsome face and a nice voice say such lines.
People like us shouldn't.
- "People like you two"? - What's wrong with Seungkwan?
- What's wrong with him? - I didn't mean it like that.
He said he wanted to host his own variety show.
We should target a niche market.
- I want to be a jack-of-all-trades. - We should target a niche market.
- Come up with unusual lines. - Unusual lines?
We shouldn't be the same as others. We can't be like Sung Si Kyung.
- I see. - Kwang Hee, show us an example.
- What should we say instead? - Have you thought about it?
Radio shows have similar concepts.
Some radio show hosts speak gently and quietly.
Can you speak gently and quietly?
- No. So I'll do it in my style. - He should do it differently.
"I can do nothing about the traffic. You shouldn't even have driven."
"You should've taken the subway."
- That's what I would say. - That's right.
- That's a good one. - Am I right?
- You knew the traffic would be bad. - What about at night?
Aren't I right?
It was Seungkwan's story, but Kwang Hee made us laugh.
I have to admit that I lost this time.
- My story wasn't funny at all. - Make a funny comment.
So both of us can get air time.
- How can we put it together? - I am...
- I am different from Kwang Hee. - Let's say a listener...
- complained about the traffic. - Pardon?
- A listener sent a message. - I'm feeling pressured.
Give it a try.
- You'd better not do it. - I'd better not do it.
- I got this feeling. - I think you'd better not do it.
- I'll tell you another story. - I'm sorry.
(I'll make the next story funny.)
Seungkwan is good at impressions. Actually, he's the best...
among all the idol singers.
You prepared a few. You imitated Jong Shin really well too.
You prepared "I Am a Singer" impersonation, right?
- I love MBC. - It sounds interesting.
I watched every episode of "I Am a Singer".
I prepared them to make sure to do it on Radio Star.
- What is it? Show us. - Let's take a look.
First, I will imitate Lee So Ra.
Lee So Ra impression became a hit, right?
- She crosses her legs... - "I Am a Singer"?
and shrugs her shoulder like this. And then...
When the music starts, she always does this.
It's her own unique habit. When the music starts,
she fiddles with her earpiece.
(You're pretty good.)
(He imitates So Ra's singing method as if he's used to it.)
(He's immersed in the song and sings skillfully.)
(He's really good.)
Is there any impression you started doing recently?
I can imitate a character in a Hollywood disaster movie.
Really? Show us.
Right. No one else has tried it, right?
It's a Hollywood disaster movie impersonation.
- You wanted to do it here, right? - I'll imitate a character in it.
- Right. - I'll show you.
- I'll start. - You hesitated.
- In disaster movies, a hurricane... - A hurricane?
- or a tsunami comes. - Right.
On an ordinary day, I meet a friend. "Hey, what's up?"
But right then...
(All of a sudden...)
"Oh, my gosh!"
(His eyes are open wide.)
"Everyone, run! Run for your life!"
"Go! Come on!"
- That's funny. - That's hilarious.
That's not all.
- You should do something new. - That's right.
- A mom... - Don't repeat the same thing.
I'll imitate a mom with a daughter who goes to kindergarten.
She goes to pick her daughter up.
I'll imitate a mom.
- Is she Korean? - In a disaster movie.
(My dear daughter, did you have a good day?)
- He's a mom. - Oh, my gosh!
(What on earth is that?)
(The best disaster movie ever, Heart-wrenching mother's love)
- Like this. - I see.
- Like that? - Oh, my.
- It's new. - That was funny.
It seemed like you did Lee So Ra impression too many times.
I did this once on another show, but the video clip...
didn't go viral as I expected.
I think I can reach 1 million views since I did it on Radio Star.
- You wanted to do this, right? - "Oh, my gosh!"
- I should've done it earlier. - It's hilarious.
It'd be funnier with computer graphics.
It'd feel more realistic with computer graphics.
You need to let go of what you've done before...
- and try new things. - Imitate me singing "Wi-Fi".
"Wi-Fi"...
- Don't do that again. I think... - He's laughing.
- it won't be so popular. - I've always thought I could...
- do it only before Jong Shin. - There aren't many people...
who know that song.
Other people would be confused if you do it.
It would ruin your popularity.
I felt that way when I imitated So Ra. I'm sorry.
Did you?
Haon has been on a variety show with Yu Jae Seok...
- and Ahn Jung Hwan. - "Kids These Days".
There's a rumor that Jae Seok...
picked Haon.
- That's true. - The rumor has spread widely.
- I met him on "Happy Together". - "Happy Together".
- He likes Haon so much. - I guess...
I made a good impression on him.
I heard that he recommended me.
- So the rumor was true? - Yes.
- When the show was being planned, - It was true.
there was a vacant position, and Jae Seok recommended me.
- And then I received a call. - If Jae Seok recommends you,
- You get the position. - you most likely get the job.
- I'm grateful and doing my best. - He can make a new role for you.
- That's right. - It bothers you, right?
So it was you.
(So it was you.)
He looked at Haon...
up and down.
(So it was you.)
Can you say it again in a meaner tone of voice?
- In a meaner tone of voice? - Yes.
So it was you... I can't act.
- I can do it only when I mean it. - Right.
- Just like "What did you say?" - No, I can't do that.
- I can't do it. - He can only improvise things.
- He can't make scripted comments. - I see.
Jae Seok tends to...
- get hooked on rookies... - That's right.
- who are enthusiastic and talented. - That's true.
It was Haon.
"So it was you."
However,
is it true that you feel more comfortable around Jung Hwan?
Jung Hwan makes other people feel comfortable.
I heard about his legend as a World Cup hero.
I was only three years old when he played at the World Cup.
I heard of the legend. It was the first time...
Korea made it to the semi final at World Cup.
I was excited to meet the legend in person.
But in one day, the image of him...
- Was it ruined? - was destroyed.
- But he felt more comfortable. - He's down-to-earth.
- He's really nice to me. - All men like him.
Jae Seok is difficult even for young people to talk to.
No. I feel comfortable...
- around him in a different way. - Only Tae Hyun can make this joke.
- He's just different. - You should make jokes like this.
- What are you talking about? - You should stick to it.
- He can be very straightforward. - Only he can make a joke like this.
Jae Seok is the one who recommended him, but...
I wonder what happens if two nice people meet.
Jung Hwan is more like a guy next door.
I feel comfortable around him in that sense.
- Jae Seok is very gentle to others. - That's right.
Jae Seok is the best.
- He's generous. I love him. - I see.
Haon appeared on other shows, but his part was all edited out.
- I didn't know that. - That's right.
- On which shows did you appear? - Before "High School Rapper 2",
- I went on "Show Me the Money 5". - He appeared on many shows.
But I was eliminated from the show very quickly.
(Embarrassed)
You went on "High School Rapper 1" as well, right?
Yes, I went on "High School Rapper 1" too.
It's understandable that I failed back then...
because I think I had nothing to differentiate myself...
- I see. - from my competitors.
Back then, rather than focusing on myself...
I cared about only what others do.
- I was busy keeping up with them. - It's normal at that age.
- You have to tell your stories. - Exactly.
- I realized it after I failed. - It's the best.
I tried to figure out what I could do to stand out...
while being myself.
So I combined...
what I like to do and what I want to do for living.
Then things went well for me.
(Haon won the competition.)
- He's so wise. - Kids these days are expressive.
- He's clear about his principles. - Exactly.
So it was you.
- Haon has a clear view of life. - He seems to be acting.
It'll be better if I do it again.
You have to keep jumping in.
(This is what a variety show is like.)
- Right. - Good job.
Kwang Hee used to be an idol singer.
But he hates music shows like "King of Mask Singer"...
- or "Hidden Singer". - Kwang Hee...
Most of all, I'm a bad singer.
I have to make comments about the performances.
But I couldn't do it well.
I wanted to describe how I felt in a witty and humorous way.
"He sang as if he flew along the water."
"As if flowers were blooming." Even this isn't a good metaphor.
- It was because of expressiveness? - I was so bad at it.
- I'm confident in describing food. - Right.
"It feels as if the spicy flavor is hitting my uvula."
- I would say things like this. - You're good at it.
"It's so soft."
But it was so difficult for me to describe music.
In fact, on the pilot episode of "King of Mask Singer",
I was one of the celebrity panel member just like you.
I don't remember that.
- They never invited me again. - You lack the vocabulary.
- You lack the vocabulary. - You need to do well...
- You have to describe it. - He lacks the vocabulary.
- You have to describe the music. - He lacks the vocabulary.
- It was so difficult for me. - But you were a singer.
Actually, I meant to appear on "King of Mask Singer" not long ago.
The staff wanted me on their show too.
I practiced a song for the show,
but my managers said I shouldn't go on the show.
- They said I should... - You couldn't...
just apologize to the chief director of MBC...
and send a demo to the staff...
since they kept asking me to come on the show.
- He used to be a singer. - Right.
- I feel apologetic towards signers. - That's okay.
I'm an entertainer.
- We all know you work very hard. - "I'm an entertainer."
Each member of an idol group has his role to play.
- That's right. - He's also very ambitious.
Not every idol group member is a good singer.
- Of course. - There are singers...
- and rappers. - That's right.
Kwang Hee, you have no intention of becoming an actor.
I have tried it a few times.
- It made me unnecessarily proud. - Right.
- Actors are born, not made. - "Unnecessarily proud"?
You can't act crying, can you?
I can't.
- Can't you pretend to cry? - No. Pretend to cry?
- Yes. - This is all I can do.
- I can't do it. - Was that crying?
- My goodness. - That's funny.
Were you crying or laughing?
Because my nose is too stiff to express emotions.
- I see. - Is that right?
Show us how you cry again.
- That was really funny. - Do it again.
(Pretending to cry)
(Why does he cry like that?)
- Why did you make me do this? - That's so funny.
It will have been 10 years since my debut soon.
But you said you would do anything.
Well, that's true.
- It's the funniest crying face. - Exactly.
It's really funny.
It's so funny.
- Thank you so much. - It's hilarious.
Gu Ra helps me stand out with such a thing.
Have you filmed yourself crying? Do you really cry like that?
Yes. I actually cry like this.
I cry like this while praying in church.
- However, my mom... - You're a devout believer.
He's a devout believer.
Usually, moms give their sons tissues when they cry.
But my mom was looking at me.
She asked, "Why do you cry like that?"
I said, "I'm crying because I feel like crying."
She said, "Are you faking it because people are watching,"
"by any chance?"
If your mother said that...
She told me not to cry in public.
- "Please help me." - That's hilarious.
"Please answer my prayer."
(He looks as if he's faking cry.)
I think I looked funny to my mom too.
- It's funny. - Right.
She said, "Bury your head in your arms. Why would you lift your head?"
I said, "It's too hot."
"And Mom, think about it. I had plastic surgery."
"So my face hurts if I lower my head like this."
- I see. - Since then,
- she has never said anything. - I understand. I'm sorry.
Kwang Hee is so hilarious.
As I see him today, doesn't he look like Twist Kim?
(Doesn't he look like Twist Kim?)
- It suddenly came to my mind. - Jong Shin, please.
- I put on nice clothes. - Don't be like that.
I wondered whom he looked like.
- I like Twist Kim, but... - He's amazing.
- He's one of the greatest actors. - Yes, but...
- Think of someone younger. - I kept...
If he had a beard,
wouldn't he look like Abraham Lincoln?
I'm as skinny as he is.
(We couldn't think of any one of young celebrities.)
Won't you ask me about my acting career?
What should we talk about when you have no intention of continuing it?
You just said you won't do it again.
- I have stories behind it. - Go ahead.
Why do you want to quit being an actor?
Pretend nothing happened.
He said it made him too proud.
- Why did you quit? - Well, acting...
He brazens it out.
It takes a long time to film a drama or movie.
- You film scenes continuously. - That's right.
In fact, while staying on set to continue filming the scenes,
I missed other shows.
- I missed variety shows. - Right.
You need passion for acting to be an actor.
- That's right. - When you saw Si Wan's performance,
- didn't it motivate you? - It doesn't work like that.
When I saw other idol singers becoming successful actors,
I wanted to become an actor just like they did.
But I faced an obstacle that I couldn't overcome.
I was supposed to actually show the emotions.
But if I didn't feel them, I couldn't perform in scenes.
- And you have to repeat it to show. - Exactly.
Is there any role you're confident to play?
- A role? - What kind of role can you play?
- I can play a jealous man. - I see.
A jealous man.
Or a scene where I eavesdrop others' conversation.
"What are they talking about?"
(Scene 1. Put an ear against the wall.)
"My goodness."
That's not how you eavesdrop.
You wouldn't know because you have never played a role like this.
You have always played a leading role.
- Supporting actors always do this. - You're good at that.
This is what you're good at.
- Keep going. - I...
"Hey. What's going on?"
"Gosh. Is that the case?"
Supporting actors do this all the time.
And we wait a long time to film just one scene like this.
(He vented his resentment on the leading actor.)
As you all know, Joon Young...
- is a rock singer. - Yes.
However, even Tae Hyun...
keeps forgetting that you're a rock singer.
I also keep forgetting that I'm a rock singer these days.
What I really wanted to know about Joon Young...
I found out that he held a lot of concert tours overseas.
I asked Joon Young a few times...
- if it was profitable. - Profitable?
He shouldn't do it if he only loses money.
He gets paid for it.
Do you run a traveling agency?
Pardon me?
Come on. He said I held a concert tour with my rock band.
He held a lot of concerts.
I'm not just traveling around the world.
You keep making lame jokes like that.
- Not a restaurant tour. - Mind what you're saying.
I wouldn't arrange a concert with a traveling agency.
Seungkwan said that all idol stars become divers...
- on the red carpet. - What does that mean?
- Some of us gain weight easily. - Right.
- When they release a new album... - Could you show us?
- What do you do? - Show us.
- When I gain weight... - I'm curious.
"SEVENTEEN, please go up."
His jawline?
Oh, right. His face looks slimmer.
- I can see that. - That's amazing.
- Turn around. - Right. I look around at cameras.
(It's time to stand on the red carpet.)
I look around at cameras.
I tell myself to hold my breath just for two minutes.
And then I go up on the red carpet.
(I'm going to be a diver for a little while.)
(Hold your breath, Seungkwan.)
"Look to your left."
"Look in the middle." When I can't hold it anymore,
I pretend to laugh.
You take a breath.
(Completely effective)
Until the moment we leave.
(I won't lose my sharp jawline.)
And when I come back...
(The birth of a sharp jawline)
There must be some idol singers who can relate to this.
Not every idol singer does this.
I lost some weight,
so I don't really need to do that.
But it still makes my face look better.
(Seungkwan's face has been upgraded.)
When I first met him to work on "Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin",
I thought he was quite chubby for an idol singer.
Exactly.
I had gained the most weight since my debut.
He's wearing a loose-fitting sweater right now.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
This is the theme to help the stars end the year properly.
"The Song to End It All".
Shall we hear the song that Seungkwan chose?
- This is a great song. - Seungkwan's song choice.
Seungkwan is a great singer.
This is the perfect song for the theme.
"Last Love".
Why did you choose this song?
This is the first song I sang...
for the evaluation when I was a trainee.
So I practiced this song really hard.
(This is Seungkwan when he was a 16-year-old trainee.)
(He practiced the song hard before making his debut.)
- You practiced a lot. - So...
I thought it would be meaningful to sing here.
I see.
- On Radio Star. - Exactly.
For people like us who started their careers as a singer,
appearing on Radio Star is a great thing.
- It means a lot to us. - That's right.
It's hard to get a chance to appear on this show.
Shall we hear Seungkwan singing "Last Love"?
("Last Love" performed by Seungkwan)
(With his eyes closed,)
(he sings the song he sang for the evaluation.)
(Now, he's singing on the stage that he dreamed of...)
(as the proud mail vocalist of SEVENTEEN.)
(He, who tried to make us laugh using his entire body,)
(is showing his charm only with his voice.)
(It reminds us of "Boo Seungkwan's Taiwanese Sponge Cake".)
(The audience members are touched.)
(I will cry)
(Holing the note)
(Now, he can show off his beautiful voice as he pleases.)
(You are my first love)
(You are my last love)
(There's one thing that can never change)
(Seungkwan is the main vocalist of SEVENTEEN forever.)
(He did an awesome job with his unexpected charms.)
That was amazing.
- You looked different when singing. - He looked different.
- He's a great singer. - Thank you.
I bet he became emotional seeing that his eyes are teary.
- He practiced this song a lot. - That's right.
It feels weird.
He sings well and...
I think the first song to practice is very important.
I practiced Wheesung's "Can't We" when I was a trainee.
- "Can't We". - I couldn't be a good singer.
- That really is the reason. - You couldn't.
(The real reason why he couldn't last as a singer)
Just a little bit?
Can't we
(He can't sing.)
Let's listen to Haon's choice of a song.
(What did Haon choose?)
It's "Boong Boong" by Kim Haon.
("Boong Boong" by Kim Haon)
I can't believe...
I get to hear this song.
Why did you choose this song?
Among all the songs that helped me come this far,
I think it probably contributed the most.
It's my favorite song.
I sang this at the final,
and it became the winning song.
Many people remember me for this song.
I'd like to sing it with gratitude.
Let's listen to "Boong Boong" by Haon.
("Boong Boong" by Kim Haon)
(Traveler Haon is getting started.)
(He's totally ready.)
(I've explored many places)
(But I’ll only know what the next place is like when I go there)
(Everyone joins Haon's journey.)
(I'm glad the sky is blue)
(I probably look like a dolphin in your eyes)
(Haon swims freely along the rhythm.)
(Swag)
(Cheering)
(While I was falling)
(Riding on top of my unfolded wings)
(I fly above the things I've thrown away)
(Flying a flight that’s not quite a flight)
(Haon vents his philosophy.)
(It's so blue while flying with our two wings)
(Like thunderclouds)
(To his endless speech...)
(Immersed, distracted)
(Being thankful for everything)
(Right now, this is what life is for me)
(Whatever it might be like the name my parents gave me)
(I just do it while I'm here)
(I don't know where I'm going just swerving)
(I’ve followed my soul’s movement to the point I’ve gotten tired of it)
(Following my potential as if I'm flowing)
(Let me call it)
(My strides draw the number eight and it draws out infinity)
(I see the space between impossible I'm impossible)
(The party has to continue No matter who leaves)
(Pour sizzling oil onto the bleeding current rhythm spin and spin)
(This belief I’ve believed for a day or two in darkness)
(Haon Tour guarantees customer satisfaction.)
- Right? - Thank you.
(They send applause.)
What an amazing guy.
In such a short time. You're amazing.
What was that in the back?
- There's actually music. - It's the last part.
You know so much.
- I love this song. - Really?
- I always listen to it. - You do?
You live young.
I'm envious.
