(The 5-minute airtime?)
(The extraordinary people came here for revenge.)
(The rough way of speaking!)
(Lee Beom Soo, the extraordinary leader of this group)
(They've been preparing for today.)
(Be rough then!)
(Rain and Lee Si Eon's extraordinary chemistry)
(Shin Soo Hang, the youngest of this extraordinary group)
(Do we know him?)
(Are you looking down on our baby?)
(I think they are here to kills us.)
(I'm here, you punks!)
(Ji Sang Yeol, the special sniper is here.)
(Should we actually show them what we got?)
(In this chaotic moment of biting and getting bitten,)
(these extraordinary people go on with their war.)
("Extraordinary Men" begins now.)
Are there a lot of things making you upset during this holiday?
Then shout like...
Lee Beom Soo!
"You brainless punks!"
("You brainless punks!")
That's just shouting.
You just need to shout.
Are you really stressed out during this holiday?
Then take a deep breath...
like Rain.
(Stress and tiredness)
(It's hard to watch.)
So nothing's making you laugh during this holiday.
You feel like you're facing your menopause all of a sudden.
Why don't you take some time off like Gu Ra?
Stop worrying
And smile, smile, and smile
I'm Ji Sang Yeol. Nice to meet you!
Gu Ra took a day off today.
He's resting now.
That's what he's doing now.
Are others scolding you so much...
during this holiday?
Turn up the volume of Radio Star!
Let it go through one ear...
and out the other ear.
Whether Gu Ra's going through his menopause or panic attacks,
we wouldn't call him to check how he's doing,
but we're actually really worried about him.
We're a high-end, cold-but-warm program,
- Radio Star! - Radio Star!
(Radio Star)
Instead of Gu Ra,
Sang Yeol is here today.
- His friend is here. - That's right.
What is this?
Why didn't you take off your gown at the hairdressers?
I was dyeing my hair.
- I thought... - I thought this was a gown.
- I am... - Is there a string?
You guys contacted me when I wasn't ready.
I had to stop the neutralizing process and come here.
Gu Ra said...
he needed some time off.
He's been talking about his menopause.
But I didn't know he was actually being serious.
(He's been talking about menopause pretty often.)
(We hope he comes back with a smile next week.)
- So his friend is here today. - His friend is here instead of him.
He's going to fill Gu Ra's vacancy.
- Do you want to say a word? - Well,
it's not about Gu Ra being here or not.
I'm the spare tire of the entertainment industry.
- It's just changing a tire. - "The spare tire"?
Just call me when you have an empty spot.
I'm always ready to fill it up.
Looks like Gu Ra and you are not like how you used to be,
but you're still here.
If there's a tooth with a cavity, you have to get rid of it.
(He began to talk about what he really wants.)
You can be an implanted tooth.
- This could be your seat. - Of course.
Welcome.
(Gu Ra's ex-friend wants to be here indefinitely.)
Today, we invited people...
who are extraordinary.
- "Extraordinary Men" begins now. - "Extraordinary Men"?
He used to be in many variety shows like...
"Survive Live and Enjoy Together"...
and "The Return of Superman".
But he became a film producer now.
He's the Lee Gyeong Gyu of actors...
when it comes to the speed of being here and there.
He's Lee Beom Soo!
- Welcome! - Lee Beom Soo.
He's one of the top three thieves of this nation...
alongside Youn Jung Hoon and soy sauce marinated crab.
He hasn't been doing much as a singer and came back with a movie.
He went to Hollywood and married Kim Tae Hee.
Live like Rain! Rain is here!
- You haven't been here for a while. - It was nine years ago, right?
It was only five minutes too.
He was edited out.
- Like drizzle. - Right.
He's been in many films as the main actor and a supportive actor.
However, he's more famous for being on variety shows.
He skipped the drama awards...
and won the Top Excellence Award...
at "MBC Entertainment Awards". Lee Si Eon!
(Lee Si Eon, the actor)
Just relax.
You're pretty weak at reading.
You said your eyesight is bad.
It's due to my old age.
My tongue doesn't work well.
You're actually wearing magnifying glasses.
You can pay for my surgery if you want.
- Goodness. - Right.
He even drew some lines on his script.
"Pause here."
But why is he still bad at pausing?
(He's ruining the script because of his eyesight.)
I have no idea who he is even though I'm looking at him thoroughly.
His major work was "Operation Chromite".
You still have no idea who he is, right?
He's actually an actor.
Even before becoming a scene-stealer,
he was invited to Radio Star. He is Shin Soo Hang!
- Shin Soo Hang. - Welcome.
- Hello. - Thanks for coming.
- Welcome. - Hi.
- Nice to see you all. - Beom Soo.
Nice to see you all.
Beom Soo, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
It's my first time to be on Radio Star.
This is Lee Beom Soo. Nice to see you all.
- Is it your first time? - Really?
- Rain, it's nice to see you. - Yes!
Please say hello to our viewers.
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone!
Actually, I have some bad memories...
about Radio Star.
- It was really... - He's here after 10 years.
Again, Happy New Year.
- I'll do my best for an hour today. - There you go.
- Good to see you. - Si Eon, it's your turn.
Hello, This is Lee Si Eon.
It's my third time to be here.
Thanks for inviting me.
By the way, who are you?
Hello.
My name is Shin Soo Hang, and I'm a rookie.
I'm here to ruin...
the balance between the senior actors.
Thank you.
- "Ruin the balance"? - All right.
You practiced that yesterday, right?
- I came up with it just now. - Really?
Are you sure you're not ruining yourself now?
Oh, that's...
- Well, - By the way,
- I see a lot of people from him. - Me too.
- He looks so familiar to me. - Do you not have any nicknames?
I can see many faces from you.
I think he looks like Kim Jae Won a little bit.
- When he smiles, right? - I agree.
I see Kang Ha Neul too.
- I can see a lot of actors. - Me too.
Beom Soo, it's your first time to be on Radio Star.
I heard...
you had a lot of questions...
- at the pre-filming interview. - That's right.
- What were you so curious about? - What questions were they?
Well, Gook Jin, you're here.
I've been your fan for about 30 years...
since "Theme Game"
(From 24 years ago)
You know there was a brand name of cake...
- named after you. - That's right.
I was curious why you did that.
That's what you wanted to know.
Seriously.
- Is that really a question? - Are you simply curious about that?
I heard he didn't stop asking about things...
- What else? - to our production staff.
Why is Radio Star...
called Radio Star?
(Why is Radio Star called Radio Star?)
You have to go back to 12 years ago to know that.
They made that title in 2007.
That's a long time ago.
Doing this movie,
I got closer to Beom Soo.
I found out he's really innocent.
He thinks a lot like, "Why is it like that?"
- He's full of curiosity. - Not only that,
- when he's into one thing, - Then?
he can only see that.
So my guess is that he was really into...
Gook Jin's cake back then.
(The curiosity he's been keeping for 20 years.)
So Rain got traumatized about talk shows...
by the experience with Radio Star nine years ago.
Why is that though?
Nothing was that bad except that you were edited out a bit.
You talked well and went home.
Well, I'll explain...
what actually happened then.
Radio Star contacted me asking, "Why do you not accept..."
"our invitation? You've even done 'Knee-Drop Guru'."
(In 2010, Radio Star's production team contacted Rain to invite him.)
So I thought, "Right. I should accept their invitation."
- He was even the only guest. - That's right.
I was here alone even.
And things went well too.
I even thought nothing could be funnier than that.
I did a great job.
So I expected a lot.
I thought it was going to be the talk of town.
However, someone else was on the show when my episode aired.
Kim Yuna was on "Knee-Drop Guru".
Oh, so your episode didn't air.
And my episode of Radio Star was going to be the next.
My episode aired,
but I wasn't there.
- I kept... - Even though you kept watching it?
I even watched it...
with my dad and all my family members.
(Everyone of his family was sitting around and expected so much.)
So we were sitting like that in front of the TV...
and watching it together.
However, even after about an hour,
Yuna was still on TV.
So I thought it was going to be a special day of two-hour airtime.
But it was changed to Radio Star before the program was finished.
And it was raining on me.
(A heavy rain on him)
- So... - He just said hi, and that was it.
It was just like,
"Hi, everyone. I'm Rain." Done!
It was just finished like that.
(I just said hi and sat on my seat.)
(Bye, Rain!)
It was just a trailer then.
But people who had no idea about that said,
"Radio Star humiliated Rain with five minutes of airtime."
So I was called Five Minutes of Humiliation for a while.
(He got a nickname.)
Anyway, what I was grateful about is...
that the next episode was full of me.
It was about an hour of myself.
What I heard is...
we had to make it like that because you were so whiney about it.
Yes, I was whiney.
How could I not be?
- It was so upsetting! - Of course.
I asked...
the director of Radio Star then.
What I told him was...
to wrap it up like...
it's a special episode of Kim Yuna.
- Make that whole episode... - Then we won't get paid for that.
Was that the reason why?
- That's right. - Of course.
- That's why you guys... - They wouldn't pay us twice.
- That's also the reason why. - Did that make you happy?
(It made him more upset.)
What did you guys do?
We could go on a holiday thanks to you.
Did that make you happy?
(Satisfied)
I was even here more than eight hours to film.
I don't know if you remember that.
I was talking about how I felt and...
I can even call myself a son of MBC.
I think I did my best physically and mentally.
But MBC...
By the way, you've been talking for more than five minutes like that.
(Goodness!)
- Just then you were talking for... - It's more than your last airtime.
That's more than your airtime per appearance.
- That's... - I really wanted to talk about it.
- Because I was upset. - Right.
- That's true. - All right.
(Are you happy now, Rain?)
I heard you're just home these days, Si Eon.
It's unexpected.
I just moved to a new place.
So you're enjoying your new place.
Yes, my new place is...
- good. - Your new place was...
- introduced on the other program. - That's right.
I'm really happy.
What do you like the most about your new place?
- Everything is... - He's curious.
(Of course, Beom Soo is curious about things.)
He is Johnny Yune.
(He likes his nickname.)
He can be called Johnny Yune.
(He looks like him too.)
- What do you like... - Answer his question.
What do you like the most? The front door, the bathroom,
- or the living room? - It's the living room.
There's a big TV I wanted in the living room.
I heard he gave it to you.
No, the one Hyun Moo gave me is in the master bedroom.
- So you have two TVs? - Yes, I do.
- So... - Isn't it like that for everyone?
(Oh, he's arrogant now.)
(He is the great actor.)
Soo Hang, you are here today because of Beom Soo.
Why did you recommend Soo Hang?
He starred in the film with us.
And he's in the same management company with me.
- Oh, I see. - What's the name of the movie?
- It's "The Cyclist King". - Oh, that one.
("The Cyclist King")
- It's about Uhm Bok Dong. - That's right.
I heard you have a lot of nicknames, Soo Hang.
One of my friends back in elementary school...
made a three-line poem with my name.
"Shin Soo Hang has..."
"a clogged anus..."
"because of water pollution."
- Goodness. - That's right.
Anyone who has "Hang" in their name was always called anus.
Maybe Beom Soo remembers that...
whenever I say my name for the first time to anybody...
If I say, "Hello, my name is Shin Soo Hang."
The person will be like, "Hwan? Hak? Han? What?"
- That's understandable. - At the end,
if I tell them it's "Hang" from "Hang Moon", which means anus,
- they remembers it from then. - I see.
Who actually...
explains his name like that?
Even though people don't understand it well, you wouldn't...
There are so many other words you can explain it with.
- That's right. - But anus?
It's about giving them an impact.
- It must be effective in that way. - That's right.
What does your "Hang" mean?
- It means always. - Oh, I see.
- I thought it would mean anus. - Does your Soo mean water?
No, it means protecting and keeping.
So it means I always keep and protect something.
So you're protecting your anus.
- That must be right. - That's right.
You should keep it safe.
Everyone's name has its meaning.
My name consists of together and flame.
So if means you heat up when you're with me.
(Oh...)
Show us some reaction.
(He doesn't know what to do.)
How can you be so bad at it?
I gave you a chance to make things funny!
You are a rookie!
What do you mean?
How come you are just the same even when you're here as a host?
(He lives like what his name means.)
Beom Soo, so I heard Soo Hang goes to your place often.
And you said Soo Hang is overwhelming when he's at yours.
You know things can be a bit awkward...
when you're at someone else's.
So I said, "Make yourself at home."
So that he doesn't feel awkward.
- Then he was... - And he really does.
- Like how? - How comfortable?
He takes off his socks halfway.
So they are hanging around his soles.
- And he walks around like that. - Goodness.
That's what he does.
And when he eats at mine,
I mean, normally, other people are like, "Beom Soo, where's water?"
And I would be like, "I'll get it for you."
- That's normally how things are. - That's true.
But he would be like, "Can you give me some water?"
(He'll order some water without any hesitation.)
But it was...
I can't really open his fridge though, you know.
I thought that could be rude.
So I asked,
"Can I have some water?"
- And he misunderstood you. - He's slow-witted.
- I guess. - But there's...
one thing I would like to say though.
I get sleepy when I drink.
Getting sleepy, I was just going to close my eyes for a bit.
But somehow I passed out.
While sleeping, I took my socks off a bit without knowing.
I did that instinctually.
I didn't even think about anything.
Looking at Soo Hang speaking,
I remembered what Rain said about him.
You said Soo Hang is like Pandora's Box.
What does that mean?
- What it means is... - So when he opens his mouth,
- you don't know... - You are excited to see...
what he's going to talk about on Radio Star.
He talked about something, but it can even put me asleep.
It's like taking sleeping pills.
(Everyone's forced to sleep because of Pandora's Box.)
It feels like there are 50,000 sloths here.
(He's so boring.)
On "I Live Alone",
Rain and Si Eon seemed to be...
really old friends.
But you guys actually became friends because of your new movie.
- Yes. - You didn't know each other before?
No, we didn't know each other.
I've seen Si Eon...
on other programs and films before.
Then...
I got to meet him doing this movie.
But I can't see any chemistry between them.
They are awkward. They are not even looking at each other.
Are you sure you guys are close?
- We're close. - We really are.
Si Eon even said...
his biggest achievement...
from doing this movie was meeting Rain.
When Rain was on "Knee-Drop Guru",
I watched it carefully.
It was before my debut. After graduating from school,
I wasn't sure about my future. I failed the auditions too.
We are the same age, you know. He was called World Star then.
- He's been big since his debut. - That's right.
So I wanted to know what he thinks...
to become so big like that.
So what did you learn from "Knee-Drop Guru"?
Like things that made you think, "That's why Rain became a star."
"You can dream if you sleep now,"
"but if you don't sleep now, you can achieve your dream."
(You can achieve your dream if you don't sleep now.)
That's what he said. That left an impression on you.
- It was shocking for you. - I could never think that way.
"You can dream if you sleep now,"
"but if you don't sleep now, you can achieve your dream."
- It inspired you. - He made some good quotes.
He was very boring though.
You know, how hard he works and stuff.
"I worked out a lot in America,"
"eating a lot of almonds." He was only boasting about himself.
- You guys are actually close. - I thought...
I could be inspired by things he said while he's boasting.
Anyway, after watching that,
I became to read...
at least a page of monologues.
That made me do something like that.
- Because of what he said, - He inspired you.
He really did.
It was shocking for me then.
There's something he tells me often.
- "How dare you!" - "How dare you!"
He says that to you?
- "How dare you!" - I even greeted him earlier.
He called me and said, "I'm going up now."
I don't know if anybody heard this already,
but I call him Lee Si Eon, the actor.
That's right, you don't just call him Si Eon.
I call him Lee Si Eon, the actor.
- But... - When?
Do what you want.
- I did say that. - He called you like that earlier.
What I felt doing the film together with him is...
Firstly, he's a really good actor.
- Oh, he's a good actor. - Secondly,
he's really... I don't know if I should say this,
but he's such a gangster.
- "He's such a gangster." - What do you mean?
- He really is. - I see.
Birds of a feather flock together. It means you are like me.
You are worse than me.
You can only say such things when you're close to each other.
(Something you can only say when you are close friends.)
Are you a gangster?
He always calls me that.
This is something you say when you are close to each other.
- Of course. - That's right.
- "Are you a gangster?" - That's right.
He's so harsh to me.
- Really? - But I...
I like that.
- He's doing so well these days. - That's right.
He's a star.
So...
he's been going over the line a bit these days.
Is there a reason why I can't go over the line though?
- But it's me. - We're friends.
But I don't get hurt from it.
It looks like you're hurt.
(It looks like he's hurt.)
Please make it more like a gangster today.
Then you'll have to censor our words every second.
- Is it that bad? - Yes.
Anyway, he's the only friend I made...
I can talk about how I actually feel...
after my debut.
I always feel like I get along well with him whatever we do.
Even when we talk something bad about someone, it's like that.
- I can see that. - That's convincing.
I think they are just the same.
(Clear answer)
When Rain is acting,
Si Eon says things like,
"Anybody can do better than that."
He would say such things.
He's like that...
- That sounds really nice. - That's...
He made it sound smoother.
Beom Soo made it sound nicer.
That sounded so kind though.
- Seriously... - I was never like that.
What do you mean by you were never like that?
You can't say such things on a TV program.
- Right... - When he's with me,
when I get a cut sign from the director,
"Hey. Act properly."
(Hey. Act properly.)
- "Act properly." - "Act properly."
- He does that? - Yes.
The same applies for me.
"Hey, that's not enough."
"Do better."
- That's just how you play. - It's just how we play.
I guess he takes it personally sometimes.
Because even when you think you didn't do well,
someone says that to you...
(If someone says that to you when you really didn't do well...)
Then Si Eon suddenly wanted to...
go to a valley with his hometown friends.
He said it only takes an hour.
But we just kept driving.
Where was it?
- From Jeonju, - "Jeonju."
- it was... - Hadong.
Hadong?
From Jeonju to Hadong, it takes two hours.
Yes.
Thanks to Si Eon,
I had fun like a child.
When he got up in the morning,
he worked out...
even though we had meat and drinks the night before.
In the mountains.
He grabbed the dumbbells in his car.
He was working out, and my friend couldn't believe it.
It bugged you, right?
It bugged me.
What's he doing? Just have fun.
He was working out in Mount Jiri.
(Angry)
This is what I meant.
He almost did that again.
(He almost became a gangster.)
I did some push-ups and lifted dumbbells...
breathing the fresh morning air.
I did that...
because I knew there would be a scene where I go shirtless,
but the director wouldn't shoot it.
Beom Soo has his own way of expression.
For example, if I say, "Isn't this how it goes?"
"I know."
(Laughing)
He has the Chungcheong Province accent.
"I know."
You're crying.
Because it's funny.
(My accent is funny.)
If you watch his works,
all the characters are unique.
- He was my role model. - Really?
So when I see him...
You still remember him even after the movie.
But when his movie characters...
are angry...
or in agony...
- It was in "The City Of Violence". - Show me.
Why don't you show us, Si Eon?
- I shouldn't be laughing. - I can only swear.
He can copy him swearing exactly the same.
- How? - Let me see.
Just between us. What?
"Go away."
(Laughing)
- From "The City Of Violence"? - He grabs your hand.
(His facial expression is good too.)
I'm buying it.
(His talent is auctioned off.)
Right. That was from "The City Of Violence".
Normally, he's like this.
If I say, "Can't we go like this?"
"I know."
(He tries to copy Beom Soo again.)
"Do you trust me?"
(Si Eon steals personification of Beom Soo smoothly.)
- "Trust me. Good." - Yes.
- In the shooting site, - It comes out.
sometimes I sense...
- that he'd explode soon. - When he's angry?
Normally people go like this.
(Hesitating)
(He's too into it.)
"What are you guys doing?"
"How could you do this?"
He's good at stealing it.
- You two have a perfect harmony. - Yes.
Because Beom Soo is a live character.
Si Eon's role model is actually Beom Soo?
- Really? - Can you explain in detail?
You wanted to be an actor like him?
He was good at changing.
Such as "Giant" and "The City of Violence",
he really pulled off totally different characters.
Since then, he was my role model.
It's changed now.
- After working together? - Who is it now?
- It changed after working together? - Who is it now?
It's Tae Hyun.
Suddenly? Would it change again after working together?
What do you like about him?
He acts and is on a variety show at the same time.
- I see. - You're into that.
We also went to the same school.
He's my senior, so now it's Tae Hyun.
There isn't much about it.
No, there isn't.
(No, there isn't.)
Rain was shocked to meet Tae Hyun when he was a rookie?
Me? Why?
If he was a rookie, it was in the early 2000.
I still remember it clearly.
- In 2002, - 2002.
he was a superstar just like he still is now.
And Shin Min A.
- At the time... - We did a commercial together.
The clothing ad?
Yes, it was the clothing ad.
Tae Hyun doesn't do anything special.
They just took picture of him...
while he was drinking.
(He looked cool even if he didn't try.)
"Good. Done."
I thought about it a lot,
but if I tried to pose,
"Hey, relax."
(Hey, relax.)
- They kept telling me to relax. - It was that time.
They told me to learn from Tae Hyun.
So I sneaked in.
He also does this in the shooting site.
Some of you probably know.
(Rubbing)
- Right. He does that. - He did that today.
You kept cleaning something in the wardrobe.
- He does that. - Right.
What were you doing?
He's basically a patient.
He's not normal.
- He's really weird. - While doing this,
it gets better later.
If someone says, "Let's go, Tae Hyun"...
(Let's go, Tae Hyun.)
(He goes back to shooting as if nothing happened.)
They're shooting again.
- I look cool. - And again...
He's back to rubbing again.
One time, I asked him.
"What's a natural pose?"
He didn't say much.
(While rubbing...)
"Just do it."
He doesn't put any effort,
- Are they good? - but his photos are really nice...
for some reason.
After that,
he became the main model, and I fell out.
But...
Because you didn't try hard.
(Because you didn't try hard.)
People think he's gentle,
but oftentimes people are surprised at how blunt he is.
He's like, "I don't know."
Si Eon was also shocked by Tae Hyun...
in the Entertainment Awards.
- Shocked? - Why?
It was my first time seeing him.
He's very popular among actors.
He's kind.
But I never had a chance to meet him.
So, behind the stage...
He gave me the award.
- He was the presenter. - The presenter. Right.
- Yes. - Right.
I talked to him behind the stage,
but he ended the conversation faster than I expected.
- He ended it. - He's not normal.
I was so glad to see him,
so I talked about school.
"Okay." Then he left.
But I don't hate him yet.
He had a fantasy about Tae Hyun.
He's more blunt than you think.
("Cha Tae Hyun Is Blunt Than You Think")
- People think... - Right.
I'm bright and cheerful,
- but I'm actually very shy. - Right.
He's really shy.
He's shy?
I can't bring him with me anywhere.
Why would you bring me with you?
I don't try to cover my face,
but he puts on a mask and a cap.
(He puts on a mask and a cap.)
- He covers his face. - I do that because...
I often take public transportation.
I don't drive often.
If I don't do that,
people would approach me, and they don't know that I'm shy.
If they approach me, we both feel uncomfortable.
- You must be very shy. - Yes.
- Just drive. - Even now?
Yes, even now, I often take public transportation.
Even though I have a car,
it makes me think, "Since when did I drive?"
(Exclaiming)
You have the mindset of a top star.
You think too much like a top star.
(He has the mindset of a top star.)
By the way, I heard...
Rain prepared something for the hosts...
to relieve his grudge of nine years.
- What is it? - What did you prepare for us?
The writer asked me...
what I'm interested in lately.
I said I'm interested in acupressure.
- I didn't know. - Acupressure?
If your back hurts, you must relieve your muscles in front.
- That's true. - Really?
So, I've been receiving it lately.
- If anyone wants it... - Me.
He's not here to relieve the grudge. He's here for revenge.
- It's going to be painful. - Do me.
- I think he's here to kill us. - I know.
It's for the hosts.
Can you massage me?
Let's try it on him.
You need to relax.
Do you have tissue or something?
- Why? - Is there going to be blood?
No, it's for...
It gets pushed.
He's taking revenge for what happened nine years ago.
You know this?
You need to relieve this.
You don't even need to go hard.
- Oh, this? - Yes.
(It seems it's not bad.)
It was about time for me to receive a massage.
This thing on the neck?
Massage here, it relieves back muscles?
If you massage here, it relieves your back muscles.
It's painful.
I'm sorry, but can you take this off?
- Should I? - What are you going to do?
That's not it.
This time, it's the armpit.
- The armpit? - Yes.
(Rubbing)
(Grunting)
(A revenge time while he's careless)
His wing's flying.
It hurts, but it's refreshing.
(He takes it back.)
- Isn't it narrow? - There are...
pressure points here.
If you massage here, which part does it relieve?
(Enjoy what's nice one more time.)
I can imagine it without trying.
(Laughing)
- That... - He loves it.
relieves muscles here.
- He can feel it. - Put your jacket on.
If Gu Ra was here,
I'd like to do it for an hour.
Lately, Rain enjoys eating alone.
Why would you eat alone when you have a family?
Sometimes I don't want to talk to anyone.
That's important.
When I'm in agony,
or in need of something to refresh me.
But there are levels in eating alone.
The novice...
goes to convenience store and has fast food and burgers.
- That's the novice? - Yes.
Then next is going to a meat restaurant alone...
to have barbecue.
- Then they'd ask. - You go there alone?
- I go alone. - When it's crowded?
- I went to one recently. - Really?
You need a technique for this.
- With confidence, - With confidence.
I enter alone.
Then the lady asks me.
"For how many?"
If you say you're alone, she'd never let you in.
Just say there are 3, 4 people.
Then she tells you to sit down.
Do you have to act to eat?
In case she accuses when the rest is coming.
"Yes, Si Eon."
- "You're always late." - "You can't come today?"
- "My goodness." - "Fine. Don't come."
"I'm leaving."
"Please don't come."
You're amazing.
"Gosh. How much is it?"
(Don't forget to pay even in an angry moment.)
Just be natural...
and put on a cap.
I just enjoy my time.
So, you're saying you must always be confident.
Yes, you must always be confident.
In the past,
I would've put on a mask like Si Eon...
and covered my face.
- Just the fact that he says it... - When you're going to eat?
proves that he's a novice.
You're from "I Live Alone".
I've been eating alone for years.
I can even have pork belly alone.
I don't even need to say that. It's normal for me.
- I have a question. - Okay.
When you go alone...
Is he a question man?
(Is he a question man?)
Do you have to face the wall or the hall?
I've been telling you.
- He said don't mind it. - I know.
If you sit alone in the corner facing the wall,
- they'd think you're weird. - Okay.
Then there are probably...
people who recognize you from other table.
Then I say hi.
I say hi, and it's nice to meet them.
If they ask for a photo,
I say, "I'm sorry I don't look good today."
Then I give them a hug.
We'd have a handshake.
If you give them a hug,
"What's he doing? He doesn't have to give me a hug."
I asked him...
because I went to eat alone once.
I kept making an eye contact...
with the person sitting across me.
We kept making an eye contact.
The time we eat...
- and the movement. - It bugs you. Right.
It was exactly the same.
I go like this...
(One eye contact for each chopstick move)
- If I go like this, - That's what I mean.
the other person...
also looks at me.
But I think the other person...
thought I was making fun of him.
Because...
after a few eye contacts,
he kept...
(He kept staring from one moment.)
He kept staring.
It was embarrassing.
Sometimes I had to eat pork belly alone...
without a manager.
Then I crave for soju so badly.
So I ordered one,
but the moment I opened it,
the moment I was about to drink,
I made an eye contact.
I looked so sad.
Drinking alone makes you look sad.
(It makes them look like they have a story.)
I haven't gotten that far.
People who eat alone also drink alone.
I don't have any problem drinking alone.
I drink soju alone with sundae soup.
- With a mask? - In bars...
How could I eat with a mask on?
(How could I eat with a mask on?)
Si Eon knows many top stars.
Now you go all the way to Gangnam for exercise because of Seung Heon?
- Seung Heon... - From Sangdo-dong.
He paid for a gym subscription...
- for me to exercise. - He did?
- For a year. - Really?
You know Tae Won Seok?
The big guy from "Player"? I'm working out with him.
Rain says...
it's worse than not working out.
If you want to work out,
the gym must be close to your house.
Driving somewhere...
- becomes a labor. - But...
- Hey. I'm talking. - Keep going.
You're crazy.
(You're crazy.)
- He was talking. - It's same for everyone.
It's same for him too.
If you're willing to go, you'd go.
You can't avoid it.
What I'm saying is...
driving...
or going out itself is troublesome.
Especially in winter.
So I work out at home.
It's called a tabata exercise.
I work out for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds.
It doesn't matter how many push-ups you do...
in 20 seconds.
- For 20 seconds. - Do it perfectly and slowly...
for 20 seconds.
Then take a 10-second break.
After 20 minutes, you're exhausted.
- Really? - Yes.
You're drained out.
More people give up doing that at home.
You must go. You need someone telling you to come.
Then you'd go.
If you work out alone at home, it's not easy.
But he says he does it.
(Speechless)
Do whatever works for you.
Last time, you said you don't work out.
- You said you were on a diet plan. - He says he does it.
I think he's doing both.
- I... - With the diet plan.
- I... - He says he does it.
It sounds tough to work out for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds.
I started intermittent fasting...
and tabata together.
I actually lost 4kg pretty fast.
When I wake up in the morning,
I drink two cups of lukewarm water.
That somewhat relieves your hunger.
Then at noon,
I eat as much as I want.
Then from noon to 5pm,
I eat whatever I want for five hours.
- That's a lot of food. - Then before 5pm...
Yes. Before 5pm,
I eat a little...
in case I get hungry at night.
Then from that moment on until I go to bed,
I only drink water.
You're eating more than usual.
- For five hours. - Right.
I know.
I'm doing it.
He said...
he lost 4kg that way.
You need to know this.
- He has... - He said he lost weight.
a high metabolism. He has a lot of muscles.
It could be different for ordinary people.
Do you exercise with a trainer?
Yes, I just go there with Won Seok.
How long has it been?
It's been about two months.
- That's pretty long. - I also do...
Pilates.
What have you done for two months?
(What have you done for two months?)
No.
Seung Heon has a fit body.
My goodness. Jong Shin.
You're like soft tofu.
You only need soy sauce.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with Rain and Beom Soo who have evil intentions...
and two others.
The topic is Extraordinary Men. Let's begin talking.
As we said earlier,
I wondered why they're here.
It's for the movie, "The Cyclist King".
You produced this movie, Beom Soo?
I wanted to participate as a producer...
in a meaningful movie.
What's it like to become a producer?
Compare to being an actor.
The biggest thing was...
when I was an actor,
if I go to a get-together,
we have pork belly.
Then...
after about two rounds,
I ask if we could have beef.
- Right. - Right.
- "Can we have beef?" - Yes.
- "I want cow." - Yes.
But now that I'm a producer,
I can't stop other tables from ordering beef...
when one table is having beef.
Right, you shouldn't.
If one table has beef,
I must expect 100 people to have beef.
- But it's all about money. - Right.
(Same get-together, different mindset)
There was an ice cream issue after the get-together?
Next to the cashier,
there was an ice cream fridge.
It was Haagen-Dazs.
Oh, that one.
When staff put on shoes,
I knew...
they'd look at it.
- It was at that level. - Yes.
- The fridge. - It was there on purpose.
- Right. - You were thinking that far?
It was there on purpose.
So I had a bad feeling about it.
- You had a bad feeling. - Then...
- someone... - Someone opened it.
- Someone opened Pandora's box. - When someone ate it,
I was thinking,
"Is he paying for himself? What's he doing?"
I pretended not to know.
Since then,
people who were going to the restroom...
and everyone else...
were like, "Is it for us?"
(Ice cream party)
- Did you have one too, Soo Hang? - I had one too.
You're tactless.
(A strong temptation of sweet)
Rain.
Are you suspicious...
of partial hair loss in Beom Soo?
- He suppress his anger too much. - Hair loss?
Does he suppress his anger?
I get a feeling...
that he'd get mad by now,
but he never...
raised his voice.
- But... - He has.
Really?
"He has."
He raised his voice many times.
We talked about it before.
I'll explain that later.
The thing is...
he could just talk about it.
He could say, "Do this."
(After swallowing a few words...)
"Do it."
(Do it.)
He's angry.
- He's angry. - Do it.
"Beom Soo. Is that how it works?"
"That's right."
"Right. That is right."
"That is right" means he's angry.
- We're running out of time. - "That is right."
What makes you angry?
There are hundreds of reasons that things wouldn't work out...
in the shooting site.
It's a series of unexpected variables.
It's the team's ability...
(They asked why he was angry.)
to deal with it...
and follow the schedule wisely.
(He's giving an obvious discourse.)
I'm grateful that we had a good teamwork, but it was tough.
That's not what we asked.
(That's not what we asked.)
That's the thing.
- That is right. - I know what you mean.
That is right.
But why did you get angry?
We came up with a flexible schedule,
but why doesn't it work out?
(Why doesn't it work out as we planned?)
That's the point.
Here's the thing.
There are situations.
- For example, rain... - It'd rain.
He was angry at the sky because it was raining.
- He'd go out. - It's raining.
(Sighing)
He was really mad.
- Because it was raining. - He also quit smoking.
He quit smoking,
but as it was delayed due to the rain,
- he started smoking again. - Really?
Beom Soo. Then...
is rain from the sky worse...
or this Rain here?
Let me tell you something funny.
Which rain is worse?
Listen.
- Wait. - Listen.
Let's listen to him.
I got calls from friends.
"How did the shooting go today?"
"It's the rain."
"What about Ji Hoon?"
Right.
Is that what all the fuss was about?
Yes.
What about that rumor?
There is a rumor you passed up on a Hollywood movie...
to be in "The Cyclist King".
Is it true?
I was curious about it, too.
- It's true. - I see.
Throughout the shoots,
I was asked to come for an audition.
- You have to audition at Hollywood. - Yes.
For a trip to and from the US,
- I need to take four days off. - That's right.
But the shoot couldn't be stopped for four days...
because of me.
Then Beom Soo would have looked at the sky again.
- He would have complained. - "Where did he go?"
"What is he doing?"
"I am complaining about Rain this time around."
"You are wasting the cost of production."
(You are wasting the cost of production.)
"You are wasting money."
(Laughing)
If I go,
"Beom Soo, I got the role."
Then he would have gone, "I took a loss,"
"but Ji Hoon got the role."
It still would have been annoying.
- Seriously. - It doesn't matter.
- "What do you think you are doing?" - Each day,
I... You need to stop cutting in.
(You need to stop cutting in.)
- Why do you keep cutting in? - They bicker with each other.
- I see. - Go on with your story.
I told them,
"If you really want me,"
"please be understanding."
"I will be done with the shoots in a month."
However, they weren't understanding.
I wasn't someone they desperately needed.
I think I made the right choice by staying dedicated to this movie.
I have no regrets.
Ji Hoon told the story in a humble way.
He is very responsible.
Even if he takes a loss,
he sticks to his original plan...
without a complaint.
- He stays professional about it. - I must ask,
what would you have thought had he gone to the US?
I wouldn't have complained.
I think I would have understood his choice.
I couldn't look him in the eye and tell him.
I couldn't pluck up the courage.
In any case,
I am the leading actor of "The Cyclist King".
He would have had tears in his eyes.
- That's right. - I would have said,
"Beom Soo, I need to go away for four days."
(He would have done this.)
I would have looked elsewhere.
(Loyalty created "The Cyclist King".)
Soo Hang, you play Rain's younger brother.
Has the shoot been stopped because of you?
I can explain.
For a scene, I had to lose weight...
in a short time.
I went on a diet...
and cycled for the scene.
In my effort to do well, I ended up hyperventilating.
All of the sudden,
my vision became blurry.
- You passed out. - My hands curled up.
- An ambulance came. - You know,
in that situation,
I looked at Beom Soo since I knew what he was like.
He looked at Beom Soo.
He looked at Beom Soo as he collapsed.
You looked at him as you collapsed.
Yes, I did.
My eyes met his...
although he was afar.
I couldn't move my body as I wanted...
and my hands curled up.
I threw up, too.
- That's serious. - I couldn't help it.
I had healed from a broken leg...
right before the shoot.
This is another story.
Before the shoot began, we had a field day...
to raise the spirit of everyone who is involved in the movie.
Since I had healed from a broken leg not too long ago,
I sat and watched.
Senior actors ran around,
but a newbie like me sat and watched.
- I couldn't sit... - You were worried.
comfortably.
I was uncomfortable.
Me, too.
I was uncomfortable.
It seemed that way.
He sat while Go Chang Suk kicked the ball.
Go Chang Suk kicked the ball.
Lee Gyeong Young, Go Chang Suk, and other actors...
played sports diligently.
- Only Soo Hang didn't play. - That's right.
I kept thinking, "What should I do?"
Then I saw Si Eon walk.
It seemed like...
he was limping a bit.
I thought to myself,
"Did he hurt his legs as well?"
Then he sat next to me during the meal.
I asked him a question...
because I wanted to be close to him.
"Si Eon, did you hurt your legs?"
I brought up a common topic to make an excuse.
He looked at me and went,
"He is strange. He asked me if I hurt my legs."
He said that.
That's how he walks.
The thing is,
I did hurt my leg.
My right leg broke badly once,
so I have a metal pole in it.
- Really? - Yes. It's like that now.
It was like that then.
I brought up a common topic...
to be close to him.
I am shy.
I see.
You shouldn't have asked me if I injured my legs.
(I am shy.)
- He is shy. - Think about it.
"Did you hurt your legs?"
- It sounds strange. - That's right.
Soo Hang, sweep your hair back.
- Okay. - You are sweating profusely.
(It's a flood.)
He needs tissue paper.
Are you from the same region as Beom Soo?
No, I am from Daegu.
Then why do you sound like Beom Soo?
Doesn't he have an accent?
Doesn't he have an accent of Chungcheong Province?
He has an accent of Chungcheong Province.
Did you pick up the accent from spending time with Beom Soo?
I was influenced by him.
- That's right. - I was influenced by him.
You are from Daegu.
Soo Hang, you began acting at the age of 26.
You started out late.
- You majored in art. - Yes.
I majored in art.
- He majored in art. - Painting and drawing?
No, to be specific, I majored in textile design.
I heard you still have your drawing skills.
I think so.
May we take a look at your drawings?
I prepared a gift.
- Really? - Yes.
Let me get it.
He won't draw something now.
He doesn't have time now.
He majored in textile design.
- What are those? - An actor has done this before.
- Are those your drawings? - Yes, they are.
(He gives his drawings as a gift.)
We received this kind of a gift before.
Gook Jin.
He is good. It's a caricature.
It looks exactly like Gook Jin.
- He is good. - Here you go.
It's Gu Ra's.
- It's mine. - It's Sang Yeol.
Is it Sang Yeol? It looks like Gu Ra.
- Let's see your first. - My goodness.
This is mine.
- It's a nice drawing. - He got Gook Jin's features right.
Isn't this Seo Se Won?
Caricatures tend to be excessive.
- That's right. - You look like Madam Bbaengduk.
Sang Yeol's caricature looks like Gu Ra.
It's like half and half.
It looks like him.
Tae Hyun.
He has drawing skills.
(His lips are a defining feature.)
- Who was easiest to draw? - Was it me?
- It was you, Gook Jin. - Gook Jin.
What are my defining features?
Your every feature is defining.
(It's your entire face.)
It's my entire face.
- I see. - These caricatures resemble us.
They show our unique features.
Thank you. I will take it home.
I signed it so that you will remember me.
Beom Soo, you memorize your co-star's lines...
when you act.
(Does Beom Soo memorize his co-star's lines?)
- Really? - It just happens that way.
It helps you.
I need to know the cues for my lines.
Did you memorize Rain's lines?
- The scenes we share... - You memorized the lines for those.
Really?
Which line by Rain did you find the most impressive?
The first line by Uhm Bok Dong, Rain's character.
The first line was the most impressive.
What's the first line?
It's...
The market scene.
Do you know it or not?
I think he is asking Rain.
What's the line?
Well, it was something like...
"Have you eaten?"
- "Have you eaten?" - For goodness' sake.
"Have you eaten?"
My goodness.
He was trying to remember the line.
I can explain.
In the first scene, Rain appears...
as a village man.
He is a good-natured water seller.
You liked that scene.
It's the first close-up.
- It's... - "Have you eaten?"
(He barely managed to remember the first line.)
Beom Soo, you are the president of an entertainment agency...
and a film production company...
as well as a department chair at a university.
You are a department chair.
You said you get an hour and a half of sleep a day.
I am sure you get more sleep.
(I am sure you get more sleep.)
- I get 2 or 3 hours of sleep a day. - Really?
- I take naps on the road. - You take naps.
Although you live diligently,
you are often wrongfully accused.
(Laughing)
The thing is...
What's so funny?
Share the joke with us.
I am laughing because of myself.
What is it?
When I say I teach students at a university,
people go,
"Does Lee Beom Soo show up at the university?"
"Does he really do that?"
"Does he only have his name on the faculty list?"
People ask that since he is too busy.
I go to lectures on weekdays...
and make-up lectures...
on Saturday or Sunday.
I work until late.
In any case...
- You do everything. - Yes.
People become suspicious.
- That's right. - "The university is only using..."
"Lee Beom Soo's name. Aren't the lectures given by..."
"another person?" That's what many people say.
Beom Soo does his job.
He cleared it up for people who are suspicious.
Soo Hang,
you are a celebrity of Beom Soo's entertainment company.
You starred in his movie. Do you also take his lecture?
- Yes. - Are you a student?
- Is it a private lecture? - Is it a private lecture?
A few other actors and I take the lecture.
I give a lecture to newbie actors of my entertainment company.
- Do you do that as well? - Yes.
Every day,
I act for 10 to 11 hours.
- Do you practice that much? - Yes.
- I practice and... - There are lectures.
- There are lectures. - Beom Soo set those up.
- Yes. - That's excessive.
I have a lecturer for the theory and a lecturer for emotions.
- A lecturer for emotions? - There are...
- different lectures. - A lecturer for emotions?
- What does he or she teach? - Emotions.
Beom Soo is a lecturer for emotions.
(What are emotions?)
- It's Beom Soo. - For an example,
you go from "I am 1" to "I am 10."
You shout the phrases.
By the time you get to "I am 10," your body trembles.
- How do you do it? - I am 10!
That's how you do it.
You drag out your emotions.
- You go from "I am one." - You can say it...
in a different way.
I am 10. You can say it like that.
You can show controlled emotions.
- How do you do that for hours? - It goes like this.
"Do you get it?"
"Yes, we do."
"This is how you do it. Do you understand it?"
"All right."
"Since we have done this for four hours,"
"let's get started in earnest."
- That's how it goes. - My goodness.
I thought he would say, "Let's go and eat."
When you feel like you understand,
you shouldn't go home and say,
"I learned something today." Then you are sure to forget.
When you feel like you understand, you should push forward...
to learn something by heart.
It makes me excited,
but I suppose it was hard on him.
We want you to show us "I am 10"...
with controlled emotions.
(Show us, teacher.)
- My goodness. - He is your teacher.
Soo Hang shouted...
- at first. - Yes.
I am 10!
(Tae Hyun's jaw drops.)
I am nine.
I am eight.
- I am 7. I am 6. - Bum Soo is good.
(This is how Bum Soo shows his emotions.)
I am one. That's how I do it.
I got goosebumps.
You did it with an accent.
- "I am 10." - "I am 10."
I am 10.
(This lecturer is from Chungcheong Province.)
He keeps saying, "I am 10."
My goodness.
You learned his accent. You learned a good thing.
I tell newly debuted actors,
"When you struggle and feel lonely..."
"because the future is blurry,"
"practice is the only thing you can depend on."
That's right.
Because I believe in those words,
- I make them practice. - It's the right thing.
You practice when the future is blurry.
- That's right. - Those words are familiar.
- I said them. - I know you said them.
I say those words really often, too.
What Rain said comes next.
"My effort is my knife."
"If I put myself at ease, I will crumble."
(Laughing)
"If I put myself at ease, I will crumble."
I heard you want to get rid of these sayings.
- The thing is... - Are you embarrassed?
I am not embarrassed.
You need to sharpen your knife.
That's the only way you will succeed.
You are good at sharpening your knife.
- You know me. - You are like that.
He always sharpens his knife.
When I was young, I practiced really hard.
Jin Young was my teacher.
"Don't drink."
"Don't say unnecessary things."
"Go your own way."
However, it's a bit different at Hollywood.
It happens in Korea as well to a lesser degree.
When a film production company throws a party,
you go and have a drink.
"Do you want the role? Do you want to be in this movie?"
"We have a deal."
That happens a lot.
- The business is like that. - Yes.
When I filmed movies abroad,
a martial arts team trained me.
A member of that team...
became a main director of "John Wick".
You know "Deadpool", right?
A stuntman also became a director of that movie.
They became well-known directors.
They used to call me and say, "Come out for a drink."
- You didn't go. - I said, "I can't do that."
They must have thought you are weird.
I was a lunatic.
- I... - You lost connections.
- They must have found you strange. - That's right.
Had you built connections,
you wouldn't have needed to audition in the US.
I wouldn't have needed to do that.
Acting and singing are expressions of human life.
- He regrets his past decisions. - Thus,
the motto I live by these days is,
"Go with the flow."
I now tell myself,
"You did a good job."
"You can go with the flow now."
With your knife, you chop onions...
- and carrots now. - That's right.
- That's right. - You aren't too strict.
No, I am not. I give myself more freedom now.
Si Eon, you recently filmed a commercial with Tilda Swinton.
- Yes. - I saw it.
It was for a travel app.
- Really? - Yes.
People think it has been photoshopped.
- It hasn't been photoshopped. - It hasn't been photoshopped.
It hasn't been photoshopped. I met Tilda Swinton in real life.
Did you go abroad?
- No, she came to Korea. - I see.
We filmed for 24 hours.
I went home first.
(He is proud of that.)
How did it feel to work with her?
She is really tall.
At first, her looks took me by surprise.
Her face is so small.
She is over 60 years old.
She is older than me.
She is 61 years old or something.
She is very enthusiastic when it comes to acting.
There is a scene in which she goes,
"Go on a trip."
She worked on that scene alone for three hours...
despite the cold weather.
I was in the scene,
but she told me she can work alone...
since it will be too hard on me.
She is modest.
She is modest. Whenever I did something,
she went, "Oh, great."
She showered me with compliments.
At the end of February, you will have...
- your first fan meeting abroad. - Really?
Yes, I will have a fan meeting in Japan.
A fan meeting abroad.
Do you have fans abroad thanks to "I Live Alone"?
- It's thanks to dramas... - Dramas.
and "I Live Alone".
Do you know how many fans will come?
I don't know yet. There are 350 seats.
The fan meeting will happen even if only 10 people show up.
Do you have many fans abroad? How many of them are there?
I have no clue.
Who planned this fan meeting?
- What? Who planned it? - Yes.
- My agency did. - My goodness.
It's a ridiculous question.
"Who planned this fan meeting?"
- Seriously. - It's not like that.
It's not like three fans decided to hold a fan meeting.
Do you think 350 people will come...
to the fan meeting?
Were you simply talking about the seats?
The venue has 350 seats.
I don't think they will fill up.
Gosh, don't say that.
I already feel honored.
It will be like a guerilla concert.
(It will be nerve-wracking.)
You could debut abroad.
It could start with a fan meeting.
I don't dream of that.
Having a fan meeting abroad itself is a big honor.
That's not how he really feels.
"I am sure the seats will fill up."
That's how he really feels.
(Rain reveals how Si Eon really feels.)
(Do you want to have a go at me?)
(Si Eon holds grudges and counterattacks.)
(Their friendship blooms as they bicker.)
(Let's see more of their friendship in Part 2.)
You could debut abroad.
Having a fan meeting abroad itself is a big honor.
That's not how he really feels.
"I am sure the seats will fill up."
- That's how he really feels. - Yes.
"Do I need to attend a fan meeting with 350 people?"
That's right.
I bet he already has plans to debut abroad.
He already knows the number will be satisfactory,
so he is thinking about...
What are you saying?
He is thinking about ways to benefit himself more.
After Japan...
He will go to Mainland China and Hong Kong.
He will do that.
Si Eon, what is your final goal?
I don't set goals.
There is a chance I won't achieve them.
I didn't achieve my goal when I set someone as my role model.
"He reached this level at this age."
Since I can't do the same,
setting a goal makes my heart...
very heavy.
This is how Si Eon really feels.
He thinks he is already at...
Song Kang Ho's level.
(Shocked)
Are you still telling jokes from "Survive Live and Enjoy Together"?
The hosts like it.
He wears a mask because he thinks he is a big star.
That's how he really feels.
Whose level is he at?
Song Kang Ho.
- Choi Min Sik. - My goodness.
He said earlier that...
his role model changed from Lee Beom Soo.
Beom Soo gets angry too often.
- He decided to aim higher. - "Beom Soo gets angry too often."
It changed because he gets angry too often.
"Beom Soo gets angry too often."
(He gets attacked during a fight between best friends.)
Beom Soo,
- are you Kim Kang Woo's savior? - Really?
Does Kim Kang Woo think that?
(It's a sharp question.)
Let's hear what he has to say.
In my 20s, I taught acting classes...
at an academy.
- You taught acting classes. - That's right.
Kim Kang Woo was one of the students.
Really?
Then you are his savior.
Ha Jung Woo...
also signed up for your classes.
That's right.
- Do you remember him? - Yes, I do.
I guess he didn't like the academy...
because he quit after a week.
That wasn't the case,
but he got a refund upon hearing you talk endlessly...
about "Hamlet".
Really? Really?
(He fiddles with the bottle.)
I guess you talked about "Hamlet" for two hours.
Really?
He must've been too serious when teaching.
(His passion made even Ha Jung Woo give up.)
Soo Hang, I heard...
that you ate something...
just like your teacher Beom Soo. Is that true?
- Did you eat poop? - Poop?
- To practice acting? - This is how it happened.
Beom Soo told us how far he went when he was having a hard time,
and it was one of the things he did.
- Really? - Did you tell them to eat poop?
(No one seems to believe it.)
Well...
- Go ahead. - Anyway...
I failed to get a part that I wanted to play so much.
I almost got the part, but lost it in the end.
- I blamed myself. - You must've been desperate.
I wondered if I was poor at acting and about what I lacked.
I was so distressed.
I drank a lot...
and suddenly I felt like pooping.
So I...
- What is that? - What is that?
- I'm telling you the truth. - No way.
- Impulsively... - You were completely downhearted.
I...
I... How should I put it?
I took a sample of it and tried it...
So you thought of doing it?
- No. I actually did it. - Did you do it?
- Really? - I actually did it.
- Were you drunk? - That's not the reason.
I had never done it before then just because I got drunk.
- I was so stressed out. - That's unusual.
- It's so unusual. - Really?
After I actually did it...
- Did you just make it up? - Does it make you a better actor?
No, I didn't. No.
Let me explain.
Some viewers must be having night snacks.
Beom Soo, did you really say it?
I'm curious about what Beom Soo told him.
Beom Soo, could you have just said it, not actually did it?
When I was an unknown actor before I became famous...
(He starts telling the truth.)
I realized how hard it could be to become an actor.
- There are many ways to become one, - Right.
but there's a slim chance of becoming successful.
Reality...
is different from dreams and ideals.
And one day,
- I thought of the higher being. - I see.
"What more should I do?"
- Did you ask that? - Yes.
"Is it that I don't have enough willpower?"
(He was lost because of the frustrating reality.)
"Is it that I'm not trying hard enough?"
- You had kind of a conversation. - That's right.
"All right. Then shall I show you?"
- My goodness. Really? - He seems to...
negotiate with the higher being quite often.
I think...
- it's important that he agonized. - Exactly.
That's right.
That's how I touched my feces.
- My feces. - I see.
However, you didn't do it because Beom Soo...
told you do it, right?
- Never. - His experience...
It's because...
Oh, right. I should tell you that.
One day, I was teaching newcomer actors in my agency.
During the class,
some of them said they won't attend the next class...
for so many different reasons.
One of them said a relative came to Seoul.
When I was an unknown actor, I was the most envious...
of my friend who had a housing subscription deposit account.
I felt like an immature son who hadn't come to his senses.
You were doing work with no guarantee of success.
I understand why Soo Hang got tired.
(Frustrated)
I was...
I'm exhausted.
He gave you a lecture like this, right?
I was about to report to the department of labor.
- He meant... - I understand why he got tired.
So he talks like this for a long time.
He meant that it's helpful to go crazy at least once.
What on earth do you really want to talk about?
Is it a housing subscription account or...
"Have you ever done anything crazy?"
- He asked you if you'd gone crazy. - Yes.
He told his students about what he did...
- when he was desperate. - Soo Hang...
- must've been really desperate. - I was surprised.
Beom Soo's story touched my heart.
Of course, it was touching.
Not many people...
ask the higher being...
for directions just like he did.
Even when they're going through hardship.
People usually drink soju with their friends.
Oh, that's why Beom Soo kept looking up at the sky while filming.
I guess you always get the answer.
The answer was the rain.
It rained.
Rain is also an agency CEO.
He's planning to produce an idol boy group.
He's waiting for someone looking like a hungry tiger.
"A hungry tiger".
In fact, it must be hard to find someone to satisfy Rain.
- Kids these days aren't desperate. - It's not easy.
That's the problem.
- These days, - That's the problem.
there are one-person broadcasting channels...
and so many ways in which you can become famous on your own.
So they can't be satisfied with average agencies.
For example,
we've been auditioning young people.
I play the same song repeatedly.
But they turn it off after performing for a while.
"I'll take a break."
- Do they do it themselves? - Yes.
- We're living in different times. - It's completely different...
- from the times when I was younger. - Things changed completely.
- During the audition... - "What are you doing now?"
During the audition...
No one behaved like that when I was their age.
I struggled for four years as a trainee.
And so many top idol stars...
end up failing their careers.
Therefore,
I'm trying to find some kids...
who will work hard while fighting themselves.
- But it's so hard. - Have you not found any?
I have hired a couple of trainees.
- Then the trainees... - He hasn't found a hungry tiger.
Aren't the trainees you hired good?
They're good.
He came early to see the directors of MBC.
He did?
He's a producer now. He should do that.
He went to see everyone in the variety show department.
(Embarrassed)
- My goodness. - Rain,
you have to do things like that now.
Rain has to hand out flyers now.
He went around the whole building.
I wondered why the door of every office was opened.
Si Eon, you said...
that you want Rain to stop doing something.
What is it?
I took a look at Rain's stage outfits, and I realized...
that he and his backup dancers always wear the same cap...
with "Rain" on it.
I want him not to wear that cap again.
If there are eight backup dancers, every one of them...
is wearing the same cap with "Rain" on it.
(They're wearing the same cap like school uniforms.)
The matching clothes?
- The cap... - I want them to stop wearing it.
is part of my dance team's outfits.
I know. I want them not to wear that kind of outfits.
Could Si Eon's fans wear caps with his name on them...
at his fan event?
- 300 people wearing the same cap. - It's not like that.
And he still wears a military vest often...
with a cartridge belt.
I also want him not to wear it.
- These days... - You care about him a lot.
Whatever he wears looks like a military uniform.
- He also wears a beret often. - When he wears a sleeveless shirt,
I come to wonder if he's wearing an ammunition vest again.
I wonder about it whenever he wears a sleeveless shirt.
If he wears wide pants, I wonder if he's wearing military pants.
- I think like that. - Cargo pants.
Even when I know he's not wearing a military pants,
but just pants with slightly wide legs.
- Speaking of which... - Do we have a photo?
This fashion style...
Si Eon, what do you think of it?
- Is this "Full House"? - Yes.
When he played in "Full House"...
(He wore a sexy sweater with deep neckline.)
Make an attempt at reconciliation.
(Going up and down)
The title is "Unexpectedly Glamorous Star".
- Oh, my. - We feel embarrassed too.
Back then, that fashion style was popular.
KCM used to wear clothes like that.
(Deep V-neckline was popular back then.)
That's revealing.
- You must've worked out hard. - He's amazing.
- It's very revealing. - But...
Please let me explain about it too.
- V-neckline was popular. - That's right.
And I liked it so much back then.
As if it fitted me perfectly.
I liked it very much.
Not everyone could wear it though.
- That's right. - It's hard to pull it off.
His chest looks like graves.
Beom Soo, is it true that the most embarrassing moment of your life...
was caused by Singer Kim Hyun Chul?
What happened?
We prepared a video.
- Really? - I haven't seen it. Let's watch.
(Let's watch the video of his embarrassing moment.)
(Singing his heart out)
(Tears are welling up in my eyes)
(That's all I know)
What was that?
(His voice cracks as if it could go through the roof.)
What was that?
(Calm)
His voice cracked terribly.
(That wasn't all.)
(I'm not the only one)
Once your voice cracks,
it keeps cracking.
(Don't feel sorry for me)
When was it aired?
- Was it 10 years ago? - You sang "I Have a Lover".
- You sang "I Have a Lover". - Yes.
- Why was it because of Hyun Chul? - On "Yoon Do Hyun's Love Letter".
- Did you sing on that show? - Yes.
When I sang on different shows,
I waited backstage...
drinking water and warming up my voice.
While preparing myself,
the host said, "Please welcome our next guest."
And then the intro played.
I took off my school uniform
I started singing.
But on "Yoon Do Hyun's Love Letter",
Do Hyun said, "Please welcome Lee Beom Soo."
I came out on the stage...
- and talked with him a lot. - Before singing?
- You talked with him first? - Yes.
- They talked first. - We talked a lot.
Then he said, "Let's hear him sing."
And during the intro,
I was craving a cup of water.
Your throat was completely dry.
So just as I was worried,
my voice cracked.
(His voice cracked as his throat was too dry.)
However, the problem was...
One of the guests of the show was Kim Hyun Chul.
- I see. - That's right.
Hyun Chul's voice cracked while he was singing.
- Hyun Chul did it too? - Hyun Chul did it?
I'm sorry to Hyun Chul for telling this story.
But he handled the situation very naturally.
"Let's do it again. Let's start over."
- He has a lot of experience. - That's right. However,
I was waiting backstage.
The staff members seemed...
They didn't want to do it again.
- "Gosh." - They weren't happy about it.
(Dissatisfied)
They were like that.
And how they looked...
at that moment left me a strong impression.
The moment my voice cracked,
you thought of how they looked.
"Can't I do it again like he did?"
And his voice kept cracking.
"When Hyun Chul started again,"
(When Hyun Chul performed again...)
"the staff didn't seem happy about it."
"I'm not even a singer."
- "Can't I..." - But you didn't look worried.
When your voice cracked,
you didn't seem taken aback at all.
- He went on singing naturally. - He didn't seem taken aback.
It's because he was thinking.
"Should I do it again or not?"
(After his voice cracked...)
(Should I do it again or not?)
As if he had been in the same situation several times before.
"My voice cracked again."
Soo Hang, who has never appeared on a variety show before,
will speak different dialects for us.
(Feeling pressured)
He must be very nervous.
- I'm sorry to say this, but... - You have a teacher...
from Chungcheong Province.
- I've been practicing. - All right.
Let us hear it.
First up is North Korean dialect.
"It was the time when I was an assistant in Pyongyang."
(He speaks in Pyongyang dialect.)
"It rained cats and dogs that day."
"I read the note."
"It said to come to Eulmildae at 9pm."
I'll finish it here.
Are they lines from a movie?
I auditioned for a character that speaks in Pyongyang dialect.
- I remembered the lines. - I see.
Next up is Gyeongsang Province dialect.
- Gyeongsang Province... - You're from Daegu.
- I lived in Daegu, - Then it's not a special talent.
I don't think it's a special talent if you're from Daegu.
- You can't call it a talent. - He's right.
It's how you speak in real life.
Then you can say everyone has a special talent.
Even before I learned to walk,
- I moved to Seoul. - Right.
I'm not going to speak like kids these days.
You know how elderly people speak, right?
- "I see." - We'll hear it.
- I was doing it. - All right.
You were?
- I see. - I'm not saying...
- That's how elders speak? - Yes.
He calls speaking Gyeongsang Province dialect a special talent...
when he's from Gyeongsang Province.
- I don't think... - Seriously...
(Naive)
I realized that his voice sounds similar to Bae Jung Nam's.
- Jung Nam is from Busan. - Instead of speaking dialect,
say that you can imitate Jung Nam.
It'd be better if you practice imitating Jung Nam...
since you have a similar voice to Jung Nam's.
Okay. I'll give it a try.
No. I mean, you should try it on a different show later.
- He just gave you an idea. - Right.
You missed the chance.
(You missed the chance.)
To Rain, Beom Soo's wife...
was like Coach Kim Joo Young.
Beom Soo's wife...
was my English teacher more than 10 years ago.
- Really? - Yes.
Park Jin Young told me to learn English...
as I got new fans in the US.
I was about to begin to film a drama.
- Really? - Since I had...
at least 3 or 4 months before going to the US,
I decided to cram English.
How do you cram English?
I learned that there are certain expressions...
that are frequently used in interviews and everyday lives.
So Beom Soo's wife did a research.
- What they might ask about? - Yes.
You had to understand what they said.
However, the problem was, as you all must know,
when you film a drama, you don't get enough sleep...
- That's right. - or enough time to memorize lines.
My agency spent a lot of money...
to hire an English teacher who can teach me for 24 hours a day.
So I sat in the passenger seat with Beom Soo's wife next to me.
And my fashion and hair stylists and makeup artist were at the back.
- While filming your drama? - Yes. When we were in my van.
She wrote down English words I should memorize that day...
on sticky notes and put them...
on the car window.
I got to sleep only when I finished learning those words.
"What's this in English, Rain?"
"Oh, that? I don't know."
"Can't I sleep instead of doing this?"
Is that why she was like Coach Kim? "Can you handle it?"
That's exactly how she spoke.
At some point, sitting with her became stressful.
(Sitting with her became stressful.)
- Of course, it was stressful. - You must've been stressed out.
He couldn't even sleep.
Because I felt uncomfortable to sit next to her,
I told my manager quietly,
"I'm sorry, but please let her sit behind me."
(Laughing)
- "I'm so stressed out." - He must've been stressed a lot.
"I am under a lot of stress."
She started to sit behind me.
I felt so comfortable.
But she started to read for me behind me.
(His English teacher didn't give up!)
"Listen. Listen to it while sleeping at least."
- She's amazing. - She was a great teacher.
Surprisingly,
during the first two months,
I was hopeless, but at some point, I could understand English.
Exactly. I heard it's really important.
So I said I could understand what she was reading.
And she said I was ready.
So after my concert in New York, I did an interview there.
I finished my concert while getting applause.
We looked into each other's eyes, and it made us cry.
- Of course. - Anyway, I was surprised...
when she came to my concert 6 or 7 years after that...
with Beom Soo.
(Beom Soo and his English teacher showed up together.)
I could tell something was going on between them.
Right.
At that moment, I thought,
"Have I ever made any mistake and made her upset?"
(He became anxious suddenly.)
"I haven't made any mistake, right?"
Thoughts like this came to my mind.
And she married Beom Soo.
- She married Beom Soo. - That must be uncomfortable.
If she's that passionate...
So Eul and Da Eul, right?
Your kids must be really good at English now.
- Of course. - They must be fluent.
- In fact... - They're fluent.
Exactly.
Her kids must be good at it if she taught Rain like that.
My wife said...
that she was impressed by Rain.
I know this because I have filmed dramas before.
- He didn't have enough time... - That's right.
- to sleep or memorize his lines, - He didn't get enough sleep.
but he never got angry at her.
She said Rain tried so hard, which made him look fabulous.
To be honest, I got angry at her quite often.
But I can understand that.
- Thank you for everything. - He got angry at her.
(He's making a video letter for Beom Soo's wife.)
I glared at you a few times,
but I hope you understand.
It was so hard.
Rain said...
Oh, I see why.
He said that he was sure...
that Beom Soo is under his wife's control.
That's what Rain said.
No. This is also...
They're such weird people.
I never said it like that.
I said that in my opinion, Beom Soo...
can never win an argument with his wife.
- That's the same thing. - That's the same thing.
That's right. It's the same thing.
- I said the same thing. - You think he lets her win.
I think this one is better.
When we got married, I told my wife,
"Whichever of us is more competent should lead the family."
- Who is leading the family now? - That's what matters.
My wife takes care of everything.
(He sounds like it's only natural.)
And I compliment her and cheer for her.
It's clear that he's under his wife's control.
It's better to be under control.
Rain, I heard that you also approve of your wife's opinions...
no matter what.
My opinions don't matter.
- I can see that. - I never tell my opinion.
I feel comfortable that way.
(Their wives must be right always.)
Soo Hang pick things up quickly just by watching,
and because of his eyebrows...
It's not "eyebrows".
(The script says, "Because of his keen eye for detail...")
It's "keen eye for detail".
- Why can't you read it? - It's not like that.
I've become farsighted due to age, so the letters are too small.
"Because of his eyebrows..."
What does that even mean?
- You have bad eyesight. - That's right.
- I read it like this. - You should get new glasses.
Soo Hyang pick things up quickly by just watching.
- My goodness. - It's Soo Hang, not Soo Hyang.
Soo Hyang is an actress' name.
- Is that right? - Yes.
- He's Soo Hang, Shin Soo Hang. - Soo Hang.
Why is your name so difficult to say?
Your eyesight is the problem.
I'm sorry.
Soo Hang picks things up quickly by just watching.
Because of his keen eye for detail,
many women cried.
- What do you mean by that? - Well...
- As you can see from my caricature, - Why did you make women cry?
I like...
observing other people.
So when there's a change to people's appearance,
I talked about it even before I knew.
And that caused trouble. I was taking a class...
at an academy. There was a girl in my class...
sitting in front of me. I looked at her.
I saw a mustache on her face.
So I said unintentionally,
"Hey, shave your face, will you?"
- He's slow-witted. - He doesn't filter what he says.
I don't understand he has a keen eye for detail.
He's so slow-witted.
- Exactly. - You see,
the other students...
I don't think he has a keen eye.
The other student next to her...
couldn't see it.
But I could see it. I was too young back then.
People usually ask when you see them after a long time...
if there's any change you can spot.
Then I look at them.
One day, I met my female friend with some other friends.
She asked the same question, so I looked at her.
(Do I look different?)
I asked if she got fillers...
right away.
She said she didn't get fillers.
She said, "I haven't changed at all, right? I didn't get fillers."
I said, "You can't fool me. I can see you got fillers."
While denying it, she suddenly said,
"Hey, you jerk. Shut your mouth."
(Hey, you jerk. Shut your mouth.)
- He's slow-witted. - Then...
- He's slow-witted. - He's just tactless.
He has an unnecessary ability to spot things he shouldn't see.
- He has a keen but evil eye. - Right.
- "You got eyelash extensions." - "You look younger now."
- "You had your teeth laminated." - That's right.
I said what I saw when people asked if I could see a change.
But now, even if they ask,
I only say, "What has changed? I have no idea."
It's more helpful for men to stay quiet in many cases.
That's right.
(Bear that in mind.)
Beom Soo's family...
is very famous...
because all of his family members look like him.
- They look alike. - They all look alike.
- His wife looks like him too. - Look at this.
"Little Beom Soo, Big Beom Soo, Middle Beom Soo, Female Beom Soo".
- Look. - Isn't she Beom Soo's wife?
- Even his wife looks like him too. - They all look alike.
Right.
People call us Big Beom Soo, Little Beom Soo,
Middle Beom Soo, and Female Beom Soo.
- Have you seen this before? - Yes.
Family members become alike while living together.
As you live in the same environment,
even your pet dog becomes alike you.
- That's right. - Your dog looks like you.
I think my dog looks like me.
- If you live with it for 10 years, - Golden Retriever.
you and your dog become alike.
It's true. It happens.
Even if you keep your dog outside of the house?
- Of course. - Both of us...
keep our dogs outside of our houses.
Do you want to keep someone outside of your house?
I wondered if it's different if you keep it outside of the house.
He has his own unique sense of humor. I want to learn it.
Soo Hang said that Beom Soo's daughter So Eul...
did something to disappoint you.
Yes, I'm very disappointed.
Whenever I went to Beom Soo's house,
I used to spend some time with So Eul alone.
I played with her.
- She asked me to play with her. - She liked you.
We also talked to each other on a video call before going to bed.
You were very close to her.
She told me that she ate strawberries before going to bed.
- She shared everything with me. - How old was she?
- How old was So Eul? - She was between 4 and 5.
- She was a little child. - However,
she used to wink at me too, but after some time,
I talked to her on the phone.
"Hi. It's me, Soo Hang."
But she said, "Who is that?"
(Poor him.)
When she said she didn't know me...
(He felt sad and disappointed.)
The moments with her were precious to me.
- Did you have a flashback? - Yes. I cherished those moments,
- but she didn't remember me. - That's what kids are like.
- Children around 7 and 8... - Does she really not remember me?
make new friends.
- That's right. - They forget old memories.
While filming on set,
I asked Beom Soo how his daughter and son react when he's sick.
First, his daughter's reaction.
Beom Soo is lying in the bed because he's sick.
- "Dad, are you sick? I'm sorry." - That's how daughters react.
- "Did you take medicine?" - His daughter does?
His son...
(Meanwhile, his son Da Eul scoffs.)
- "Get up." - "Are you sick?"
"Why are you sick?"
(Little Beom Soo is hard on Big Beom Soo.)
So it's true.
He scoffs right in front of Beom Soo.
- "Then why did you come home late?" - He's the same as my kid.
- Then he goes out of the room. - "What time did you come home?"
- I was sleeping because I was sick. - Do they really do that?
My youngest daughter also...
checks my forehead and everything, but my son...
asked if I was feeling unwell, so I said I was unwell.
Then he asked me to unlock my phone, so he could download an application.
(Please unlock your phone.)
Once you unlock your phone,
- your son goes out with your phone. - He plays with my phone.
I can see that a daughter and a son can be very different.
(Their sons are shockingly different from their daughters.)
Beom Soo wants to find someone...
through Radio Star.
- Radio Star... Please go ahead. - Just like "Love on the Air".
Who is it?
When I was struggling as an unknown actor,
I didn't have a steady income.
I needed money urgently,
but there was no one I could borrow money from.
There was a store in front of my house back then.
I think I was a regular customer.
I thought of borrowing money...
from the owner giving the owner something I had to pledge.
I went into the store and explained my situation...
and asked for help.
It took me a lot of courage to ask him the favor.
But he said, "No problem."
"Were you standing there because of that?"
- Then he lent me money. - He saw you standing outside.
(He lent money saying heartwarming words.)
I couldn't forget that.
- Did you repay him the money? - Of course, I did.
However, after that,
- I became famous and busy. - Right.
The store was moved.
Since the store was moved to some place else...
Tell us the name of the store and where it was located.
Then the owner will know.
It was in Nonhyeon-dong.
- In Nonhyeon-dong? The name? - Yes.
- Booyeo Store. - Booyeo Store.
What year did you borrow money?
- He must remember Beom Soo. - I think it was 1998.
- He ran Booyeo Store... - In 1998.
in Nonhyeon-dong in 1998.
He looked very generous and kind and had a big physique.
- "Love on the Air" was relaunched. - I see.
I think it'd be faster if you went on that show.
No. It might be faster through our show.
Do you think so?
He should film it all day long.
(He should film the show all day long.)
- Is that right? - Kim Yong Man...
I see.
I guess he wanted to find him in an easy way.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for the extraordinary stars.
"The Song That Reminds You of Rain".
Shall we hear the song that Rain chose?
("Love Song" by Rain, included in Rain's "Back to the Basic" album)
- I like this song. - It reminded me of this dance.
I was humiliated by appearing on this show...
only for five minutes when I came to promote that song.
(He came on the show to promote the song.)
I chose this song because Si Eon...
- likes this song very much. - I like this song.
He made his debut when I was in the military.
I think that was the peak of his career.
Between 2003 and 2004.
Wasn't it?
"I think that was the peak of his career."
- The peak of his career began. - So Rain...
is a singer who passed his prime.
The two of you won't stop squabbling to the last minute.
- I think you have a great friend. - In fact,
- When you're becoming famous... - He helps you stay modest.
is the best period in your career.
He needs a person like me too.
They put in a catfish with loaches when they deliver loaches,
so the loaches keep moving.
- I'm saying that I like you. - "Love Song".
Are you going to perform?
("Love Song" by Rain)
(Ad-libbing)
(Today,)
He has a beautiful voice.
(I ended up coming on Radio Star again.)
(I appeared only for five minutes last time I was here.)
(The thought of it still makes me angry.)
(I am in pain)
(Rain must have been distressed.)
(He unburdened himself after 9 years.)
(His beautiful voice like timely rain...)
(makes everyone feel sentimental.)
(And...)
(He shows off his wave dance skill.)
(It's raining as if we're all blessed!)
(Please)
(We wish he won't stop entertaining our ears.)
Bravo!
- Didn't he lift up his shirt? - Rain,
you used to lift up your shirt like this, right?
- And this dance move too. - I...
What was that?
- That's good. - He did this dance move.
I think...
you sing in a more stylish way than you did 10 years ago.
Experience is so important for a singer.
I also think his voice is richer than before.
- Right. - I really...
want to sing a song made by Jong Shin.
- Let's work together some time. - I want to...
- sing a song... - I wanted to work with you too.
- I really mean it. - Jong Shin said...
His voice was so great.
You have been fooled by him.
- Right. - While you were singing,
he kept complimenting you.
- Give me your number. - Jong Shin, that's not necessary.
- Just hold it and reel him in. - Okay.
I got him.
He bit the bait.
- You caught a big fish. - Right.
Sang Yeol, you came on the show as a host...
instead of your friend Gu Ra.
Do you think you'll be a tooth implant...
or just resin?
What do you mean?
Just slightly covering a tooth?
- Will you be with us? - I don't know yet,
but while working with you all,
I realized that it's great to work with others for a long time.
- You did a great job today. - Thank you.
- I knew he would do well. - He was great as expected.
Today's theme was "Extraordinary Men".
They say that the ground packs after a rain.
Since Rain came on Radio Star today,
we will be stronger.
We will say goodbye here.
See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
