Two, three... We want to steal your hearts.
C! K! N! Trio.
Welcome.
Weekly Idol,
let's start this week's show.
Today, we have someone that many have been waiting for.
It's him.
That's right. In a way,
since we took over Weekly Idol,
it's our first solo guest.
I'll hurry over,
and bring him in the welcome car.
Yes, yes.
He said that he wanted to tread a ricey path instead of a flowery one.
That's how he introduced himself.
Please come out.
Wow!
Yoon Ji Sung!
Nice to meet you.
Yoon Ji Sung! Yoon Ji Sung!
Yoon Ji Sung!
Come to the center.
For Babals,
Yoon Ji Sung has come to Weekly Idol!
Hello, I'm back as a solo artist. I'm Yoon Ji Sung. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
(Yoon Ji Sun's solo debut, mini album, 'Aside')
(Title song, "In the Rain", his transformation into a ballad singer)
It's been so long.
- Isn't it so? - It's been a while.
It's been so long since I was on Weekly Idol.
It's your first time as a soloist.
We were on another talk show together.
- It's been a while. - I've seen Sae Ho before,
on different shows,
and I saw Kwang Hee a lot after he came out of the military,
and then...
You're friends with Hong Jin Kyeong.
- That's right. - The Hong Jin Kyeong army.
- You go traveling together. - Here's Kwang Hee,
and just think of him as Hong Jin Kyeong.
Hahaha.
They look similar.
Your reaction is great.
- You look alike. - Why so familiar?
♪ Somehow ♪
♪ You are not unfamiliar ♪
So familiar.
I'm really sorry, Ji Sung, but he looks vaguely like Kwang Hee.
Babals, we're sorry.
(Hehe)
You said that people have told you that we look similar,
and how does that make you feel?
When you were in the military,
I thought I would get a good haul out of it.
Good haul? Is that something for an idol to say?
This is where I should squeeze into.
There should be someone to fill the spot.
But I wasn't able to do much.
- No. - So maybe from now on...
From now on?
I haven't even done this that long.
I'll try my best from now on.
By any chance, if Kwang Hee,
has to go abroad for some program previously arranged or something,
for like a month or so,
could you take his spot...
Oh, I, I'm not busy at all.
(I am not busy at all!)
I have so much time.
- That's not true. - We could be JJ.
Ji Sung, Jo Sae Ho, Nam Chang Hee.
- JJN. - That actually sounds nice.
JJN?
(Perfect Ji Sung)
Let's do it together.
One, two, three, four!
We want to,
steal your hearts.
Again, one, two, three...
We want to steal your hearts.
J! J! N! Trio.
(JJN Trio sounds fine.)
- It's actually good? - It's good.
Kwang Hee, sorry.
(Just)
(Just joking)
We've met with Ji Sung,
who has a bright personality like Kwang Hee.
So the two of you,
can try to figure each other out briskly.
- With a game, maybe? - Briskly.
There's the 'Of Course' game that we used to play a lot.
When you're playing this game,
you don't use Honorifics.
For example, in this game,
you only answer with 'Of course'.
You like me?
(...)
Sorry.
- Hehehe. - So,
sorry is...
He's doing well.
- We all know the rules. - You're doing well.
I was a bit thrown off.
He's been KO'd.
Let's go, Of Course.
Kwang Hee goes first.
Ready, set, go.
Frankly, you were surprised at how good I was, right?
- Of course. - Okay, good.
Are your eyebrows tattooed on?
Hehehe.
He's like some psychic.
- Of course. - Psychic, haha.
You know you're not ordinary?
(You know you're not ordinary?)
Of course.
You cannot sleep nowadays because you're anxious, right?
You okay? I think you're okay so far.
Of course.
Are you anxious, too?
(Shaking)
Of course!
You know your eyebrows are too much, right?
(Thanks for letting him know.)
Your eyebrows look really bad.
That's like a two-, or one-and-a-half-year ago thing.
No...
Yoon Ji Sung wins!
Ding, ding, ding.
But Yoon Ji Sung,
he just shut me up.
He talks well.
He's been in a bigger pond.
No.
As they say, those who've tasted meat eat meat.
He might really steal my spot.
- That's not true. - I should really be careful.
People like Ji Sung,
will keep Kwang Hee on his toes.
By the way, I keep getting spit on my face.
- Sorry. - Sorry.
Give him an umbrella for protection.
I didn't even notice.
You were so funny, so I got a bit too excited.
It looks like,
we have four MCs today.
He's doing so well.
There could be another guest coming out.
Hehehe.
In fact, there's some really good news.
That's correct.
Ji Sung,
is releasing a solo album.
Yeah!
Everyone, together,
give him a round of applause.
(Applause for Ji Sung)
I've seen this a lot.
But we were just clapping,
but the song title is,
- a bit emotional. - It's sad.
It's just in my face, almost. The title is "In the Rain."
In the rain.
Would you introduce this song to us?
My title song, "In the Rain",
captures the moment of a break-up,
in a down-to-earth, honest way as a pop ballad.
Pop ballad.
So we,
could we,
listen to it a little bit?
He's back with his first solo song,
"In the Rain". Give him a round of applause.
("In the Rain", Yoon Ji Sung)
♪ I was just ♪
♪ Looking at You ♪
♪ I thought it was just because of the cold rain ♪
♪ Somehow your face looked so sad ♪
♪ I should have taken a better look ♪
♪ Remember it better ♪
♪ I didn't realize until I saw you turning around ♪
♪ Your face that somehow looked so sad, I'm sorry ♪
♪ The words didn't travel through the rain ♪
(Ji Sung is so full of emotions.)
More than anything, you're entertaining,
and you're a good singer, so you're not like me.
I was only good at entertainment.
I wasn't any good at singing, but you have it all.
But I thought there would be an interlude or something.
But you just sang it live.
I think this is the charm of Weekly Idol.
Who wrote...
this song?
The song and lyrics,
were written by professional writers.
Now we,
listened to the song, "In the Rain".
Is there some part that you want us to sing?
No, since it's ballad.
You just have to listen.
So you don't want us to sing along.
- No, not really. - He's not shy.
What's the highlight?
The part that I just sang.
Hehehe.
Please stop bothering him.
In this new album...
there was a surprise present from Dae Hwi?
That's right.
Dae Hwi wrote a song for me.
Oh.
He wrote a really good song.
We wrote the lyrics together.
I wrote lyrics for the first time in my life.
What's the title?
It's called "Comma".
The title's meaningful. What's the meaning behind it?
It's called Comma because it's not the ending.
So don't be so sad or burdened,
and don't listen to what others say.
Don't struggle so much.
I feel the same way, especially about not listening to others.
Speaking of which,
should we talk to Dae Hwi over the phone?
Really?
Now?
- If it's possible. - Say hello.
We're connected right now?
Hello?
(He answered the phone, Dae Hwi)
Say hello. I'm filming for the Weekly Idol.
Hello, viewers of Weekly Idol.
Nice to meet you. This is Lee Dae Hwi.
Hello.
Hi, it's Kwang Hee.
I'm your fan.
I'm touched.
- Hello. - Congrats,
on your return from the military.
Thank you.
Hello, this is Chang Hee.
Excuse me?
Hehehe.
(Hehehe)
I, I...
- Oh, Nam Chang Hee, I know, I know. - Hello, Dae Hwi.
- He's funny. - Yes, hello.
Thanks for the laughter.
He knows how to put on a show.
Let's go to our first question.
You gave Ji Sung a song as a present?
- Yes. - How did that happen?
I actually,
I like Ji Sung's voice very much.
Ji Sung was making a solo album,
and I thought it would be great to give him a present.
I asked him, can I write you a song?
Without hesitation, he said yes, so...
You are not in a mountain or something, right?
Dae Hwi, you are not in a mountain, right?
- Why? - You keep getting cut off.
Say something to Dae Hwi.
Dae Hwi.
Yes?
I want you to be happy.
What is this all about?
Ji Sung, I told you not to make it so obvious that we weren't close.
I told you so, not on TV!
He is funny.
Thank you so much.
- You're welcome. - When can we expect...
Dae Hwi's new album?
That's a secret.
Wow.
What I can say...
is that it's coming out really soon.
I hope I can go visit Weekly Idol first.
- Really? - All right.
Do you promise?
Yes, I promise.
Okay!
Thanks so much, Dae Hwi!
Let's wrap it up with you giving Ji Sung some encouragement.
I know that Ji Sung really worked hard on the album...
so I hope it's a complete success.
But whatever the outcome I feel like if he delivers...
his message to the public, that's a success on its own.
- Right, Ji Sung? - Thanks Dae Hwi!
I'll call you!
- Let's have a meal together. - Fighting!
Thanks, see you later!
Weekly Idol, fighting!
Fighting! Thanks!
(Lee Dae Hwi fighting! See you soon!)
Dae Hwi is very funny...
and very witty.
- He's very loyal. - Yes, all the members are sweet.
Just imagining you and Dae Hwi coming on Weekly Idol together...
I think that would be so much fun.
If there's ever an opportunity...
I hope you guys can come on.
Everyone...
we are here with "The Boy with the food", Ji Sung.
Then, let's get going with...
our next segment.
(Press the cook button!)
It's time to find out about idol news...
through the search bar.
It's time for "Search Chang Hee!"
(Search Chang Hee!)
We're going to find out...
Ji Sung's internet keywords.
- That's a great photo. - That looks so different from me.
- It looks like you. - When was this?
Looks like me? What do you mean?
It's me! It should be the same, not 'like me'.
My bad!
That just came out of my mouth.
I have to shut my mouth. Someone gag me.
When did you take this photo?
This is my album cover.
- It looks great. - Where did you take it?
It was at the Herb Village in Yeoncheon.
Herb Village in Yeoncheon?
The photo came out great.
- It's going to be a success. - Can each of you buy a copy?
Of course.
- We'll buy two copies each. - Really?
We keep those kinds of promises.
Chang Hee buys two copies, Kwang Hee and I as well...
- and we'll show it to you. - Really?
- Thanks so much. - How about you buying three copies?
Because seven is a lucky number.
- Sure. - That's the best.
We promise we will buy it.
- Really? - Each one of us...
- has to prove it. - Okay, I'll prove it.
(CD Proof, Ji Sung's rice cooker is full again!)
Your nicknames are "Jireung", "Cuckoo" and "Euhyoon Oyoon".
- What's "Jireung? - "Jireung" is...
well, I found out that each member has a cute nickname.
"DaeBbi" for example.
- Who's that? - Dae Hwi.
"Ddeong Woo".
"Ddeong Wooni".
Mine was "Worm" because of my name.
But I wanted something cute so I came up with it myself.
(Giggles)
That's cute.
Can you make one for each of us?
Let's see.
"Ddang Hee!"
That's cute!
Ddang Hee!
(I'm excited! What am I?)
"Kkangee".
Kkangee.
Is mine, "Dde Ho?"
Sae Ho.
Why?
Jo Sae Ho.
- How about Dde Ho? - Yours is...
Ddero.
- Ddero. - It's even cuter.
Ddero.
You're good at this.
That's really cute.
(Dr Ji Sung coming up with great names)
Let's move onto our keywords.
It says here "Living alone for a number of years".
Ever since I was 16 years old...
even during the shooting of "Produce 101",
I was living alone in a studio apartment.
Where is your parents' house?
- It's in Wonju. - I see.
I hear you prepared a special recipe.
To be honest, I mainly dealt in delivery and pre-cooked food.
But I really wanted to taste mom's cooking.
So my mom taught me a few recipes.
It wasn't bad.
It was all right.
That's how it started.
That's great.
Let's cook something great...
right here in the studio.
(Dr Yoon's home-cooked meals!)
(Fried White Kimchi) (Roasted Mayo Pollack Roe)
With Ji Sung right here...
we are doing "Weekly Idol Know-Hows!"
- How have you been? - I've been well!
Today, I heard that...
you have a delicious recipe...
for those who live alone.
What do you have prepared?
It is Fried White Kimchi.
- White Kimchi? - That's right.
Normally, the color red comes to mind when we think of Kimchi.
I can't eat spicy food that well.
There are a lot of people who can't eat spicy food...
but also want to eat Kimchi.
Can you show us?
You turn on the burner.
That's right.
Please keep the flame low.
He knows how to adjust the flame.
You need perilla oil.
- That smells great. - It's special.
You just have to...
This goes to show that you know something about creating flavor.
Next?
- You leave the Kimchi in water... - You put it in water?
for about an hour.
They're going to...
seem very fragile.
This isn't Water Kimchi.
It's just Kimchi soaked in water.
I'm sure those who live alone have a lot of leftover Kimchi.
They could probably do a Kimchi business.
- Really. - You're great.
There's not much to it.
Just stir-fry it and it's done.
You don't have any tips on stir-frying it?
I don't. The Kimchi on its own is seasoned, so it's simple.
- You don't do the wrist snapping? - I don't.
You have to keep safety a priority.
I'd get slapped on the back by my mom if I did something like that.
Why would I put on a performance if I'm not going to show it to anyone?
What if someone is next to you?
Then, I'd go like this.
One more time.
(Once more?)
(Mom comes in to slap him on the back.)
You can't spill it like that!
He's adjusting the amount.
It's because this is for just one serving.
It's not dirty, since I'm the one who's going to eat it anyways.
That's right.
The color will turn a bit yellow.
That was done...
- extremely fast. - It's simple to eat too.
Let's try it out.
Let me try it first.
Yes, you go first.
Let me just check the flavor.
(He's a little nervous... and he eats it first.)
How is it?
(No no no)
Let me try it.
What's wrong?
Let me taste it.
- I think... - It needs to be cooked more.
it's better to use ripe Kimchi.
That is correct.
(He throws it back into the pan.)
Just have a taste.
Well, it smells wonderful.
It smells great. Let me have a bite.
The smell is just...
so wonderful.
That tingly feeling while eating this Kimchi...
is similar to having a sparkling drink.
But I can't tell what this flavor is.
You're supposed to use over-fermented Kimchi.
Well, it's not over-fermented.
But it does taste good.
I know what you're talking about...
but I can tell what this flavor is.
As the spiciness goes away...
the smell of the perilla oil just takes over.
That along with the crunchiness of the cabbage...
it goes really well together. I think...
it would go really well with salted dried seaweed.
That's why he has prepared pollack roe.
It's hard for students living on their own to eat this.
But the pollack roe that we've prepared...
is not that expensive.
They sell this at a supermarket for only 5000 won.
Everyone...
please call and order now.
Grandmas at street markets sell this at a really cheap price.
You're going to fry it?
Did you really eat this while living by yourself?
Yes.
It was a luxury food for me.
And the good thing is...
that you can eat a lot of rice with just a small portion of this.
But the fact that you know how to cook this...
means that you're a good cook.
Please be careful.
- The pollack roe is... - That's hot.
wow that's hot.
Do you really have to...
do this?
Now, it's that...
Please be careful!
Is this fireworks or what?
It's really dangerous!
(Weekly Idol Pollack Roe Watch!)
(Another smack in the back from Ji Sung's mother!)
Take it out!
Take the pan out.
(Saving Private Pollack Roe!)
(NO!)
Set it on the table!
It's exploding!
(Viewers, don't get it wrong. It's just a piece of pollack roe.)
Don't put it there!
No not there!
Turn it off!
That's right.
(Private Pollack Roe is saved!)
It's complete.
I'd like to share this tip. With pollack roe...
you have to make holes in it...
so it doesn't explode.
That's why I'm making the holes right now.
Wow.
But it smells really good.
It smells amazing.
It's most delicious after you have a hard time making it.
With mayonnaise on top...
One piece for each person.
- Ji Sung, you should try too. - I have one here too.
Let's see if it's the flavor that you were hoping for.
(One bite for the Cuckoo chef)
This is the Mayo Pollack Roe cooked by Ji Sung.
Why?
- It's so delicious. - Really?
- We can sell this. - Really?
Yes.
This just makes me hungry.
- It's so delicious. - It sure is.
Let me give you some mayonnaise.
(Here you go, Kwang Hee!)
It sure is.
- It's the perfect combination! - It's perfect to eat with rice.
But it makes you eat rice even more because it's so salty.
That's why you only need one to eat a complete bowl of rice.
Because students don't have money.
You have to go for a month on this.
Look. With just a piece...
we can't stop eating rice because it's so salty.
It's really salty.
And the Fried White Kimchi...
isn't what they call "A rice stealer".
It attempts to be, but fails.
Attempted robbery.
We've made two dishes...
that are simple to make for students living alone.
It feels like we put on a spectacular show.
For a second...
I thought this was a grandiose show...
like one of those water shows or an oil show.
Our chef right here...
really talked about a lot of things.
The food was great too.
Yes, it was.
It was a fun time.
Yes.
Look here,
our Ji Sung...
wrote that he'd like to do a limbo battle with us.
Really?
Why a limbo battle?
Because I think I can win.
Really?
Ji Sung...
that's amazing.
Look at me!
Did you see this?
Before we start the battle...
- is there anything for the winner? - Let's decide that.
Fine.
What should we do for Ji Sung if he ends up winning?
We have to do something that Ji Sung wants.
The first person to collapse...
would drop out of the host position.
And that position...
would go to me.
Really?
(Giggles)
(Eyes... shaking)
(All smiles)
(Acting all cool)
If we take this too seriously, there're going be problems.
Or how about Ji Sung coming on Weekly Idol whenever he'd like to.
When one of you is busy I can substitute for that shoot.
Really? That's great.
Like a special guest host.
Yes.
If we win, you come on whenever we'd like you to...
and if you want, you get to come on whenever you'd like to.
(The match has become pointless! Result, Ji Sung is a special host!)
- I get to come on anyways. - It's very simple.
This is so fair.
Let's begin.
You just became so much shorter.
Is this a brick, or what?
Something you use to hammer in nails.
Come on over here.
You just became drastically shorter.
You were taller than me before!
He was taller than me before!
(Their glances move towards his socks.)
Your socks are the color of your skin!
I thought it was balsam water for a second.
(Ji Sung! You just look at the pretty and clean things in life!)
It's because I wore them for a long time.
All right. You may begin.
I won't be taking off my shirt...
since I'll be entering.
Please enter. I don't even want to see it.
- Me neither. - Okay, you've passed.
(Kwang Hee succeeds.)
Ji Sung, go.
Okay.
- That's great. - All right then.
- Shall we lower it by ten or five? - Let's go with 10 cm.
This is making me a little dizzy.
Me too.
At least one person will be eliminated here.
(Sae Ho succeeds.)
He's strong.
(Looks like he'll be the one to get eliminated here!)
I don't think I can do this.
Slant back.
(This is making me nervous...)
(Chang Hee is eliminated.)
You're in last place.
All right.
(It looks like we'll be laughing a lot.)
(It's like folding papers.)
What's wrong?
He's a piece of paper.
He's a folded piece of paper.
(Our paper doll asks for help.)
What's with your legs?
This is what happens in horror films.
Are you all right?
You were folded.
I just got folded up like that.
Next up.
- That would have been a great meme. - And your hat was still intact.
- Is it stuck to your head? - It just goes everywhere with me.
(Hat implanted, it goes everywhere with me.)
Is it stuck to your skull?
That's enough, Ji Sung.
Ji Sung wanted to do this battle with us.
- Let's see how well he does. - I have to do this also.
Let's see how tall you are. Stand straight in front of the bar.
- It's slightly above his belly. - That should be tough.
(The bar comes right above his belly.)
Ji Sung!
(Ji Sung succeeds with his hopping method!)
- That's a success! - Go in.
- Just a little more!
(Sae Ho endures with flexibility and determination.)
Wow!
Out.
- Isn't that an out? - Let's first see how Ji Sung does.
Let's first see how Ji Sung does since we don't know how he'll do.
It's on hold.
- The judging is postponed. - How did he do that?
Ji Sung, it's not even half of your height.
It's almost half.
It's coming up to about half of his height.
(Are you going to come down now?)
He's divided on whether to take his shoes off or not.
(Divided between his pride or his chance of winning)
- If you want you can take them off. - I don't think you need to.
Widen your legs like this.
(Like this?)
Okay.
(That was a bit embarrassing...)
Hold on.
(He's trying out a few methods...)
You just need to go in at once.
- Ji Sung... - But this...
He might need to take off his shoes.
(His back screams "I can't decide!")
This is hard.
(He decides to give up his pride.)
I wasn't meaning to go this far to get here.
Will you also get shorter after taking your shoes off?
Of course not.
Great.
(He's of the same height!)
That's great.
I'll start.
Let's go.
- This is tough. - This sure is.
Your body is an asset!
You can't get hurt!
(Here goes! Here goes!)
(He falls flat on his behind.)
(I got hurt...)
That was really cute.
(Producers: That was cute, so we'll give you another try.)
Once more please.
It's better if you start from afar and approach it quickly.
From afar?
Ji Sung goes!
It's Ji Sung's challenge!
(Hello!)
Let's go with a tie.
Anyways, you'll be coming on the show again.
Please stand face to face.
This was a good match between Sae Ho and Ji Sung.
Great!
(Weekly Idol)
Everything from all things raw Ji Sung...
to seeing our mature Ji Sung...
There in the back!
I'm right here.
Tonight's hero is...
You, Ji Sung.
(Uniform Ji Sung's solo performance of "Pick Me")
(Stay tuned. Don't go anywhere!)
Hello everyone. It's time for...
Ji Sung's "Do you know this?"
Yes!
When everyone was saying that they would "tread the flower path",
you said that you would "tread the rice path".
So we'll all be walking the "Food trail".
How many trails do you walk a day on average?
When I walk a lot...
I walk about five.
Wow.
These days...
I have a tight schedule...
so I can't walk that trail five or six times...
but even when I come home late...
if there's a tasty place that opens until late...
I always go...
or let's say that if I have an event in Ilsan...
I'd look up for "Famous restaurants in Ilsan".
There's a great place near here...
that sells fish.
Really?
I live in Ilsan but you seem to know more.
There's a great fish restaurant.
So after shooting Show Champion...
I eat there.
We're going to discover many sides...
of our food-loving Ji Sung.
Starting from our unpolished, raw Ji Sung...
to our mature Ji Sung.
Great.
So, our first activity is...
"Brown Rice Ji Sung!"
(Brown Rice Ji Sung!)
From how I see it from our time here so far...
I think Ji Sung has a lot of expressions.
Are you aware of this?
Yes, I do utilize my face well.
He shows a lot of expressions that foreigners use.
Something like this.
Or something like...
"Hey".
I like how expressive you are.
With expressions, it's not something you force out...
- but it's something natural. - That's right.
So it's something very unpolished...
so we are calling this segment, "Brown Rice Ji Sung".
In a previous episode of Weekly Idol...
Key came on...
and made "Keymojis".
It was adorable.
We're walking the food trail...
so we'll be making "Foodmojis".
We'll be giving you a keyword...
and you just need to make an expression based on it.
And with that...
we'll be making "Foodmojis".
Here goes the first keyword.
Show us the first keyword!
"Yeah Yeah".
(He turns into a human "Yeah Yeah" as soon as he hears the keyword.)
Yes, that's great. Please show us the next keyword.
"You?"
- "You?" - One, two, three.
(Perfect expression and finger pointing)
That's great.
You?
Here's the next expression.
(Keyword, "Shrivel")
"Shrivel".
One, two, three.
(He doesn't hesitate to shrivel immediately.)
That's us on a normal basis.
(Shrivel)
Next one is...
- One, two, three. - Yum yum yum.
What is "Yum yum yum?"
(We have our Yoon Hamster here.)
Wow!
That's great.
That's the shape of eating.
Yum yum yum.
(Yum yum yum)
He doesn't hesitate for a second.
He's just speeding through.
Next!
Embarrassment!
One, two, three.
(ThislsEmbarrassmentOnDisplay.jpg)
That's amazing.
This is the best one!
That's amazing!
The next one!
- Please prepare us the next one! - One, two, three.
Excited!
(Really excited!)
Excited!
(Our Ji Sung is being loved!)
He's great.
(Excited!)
Cunning!
One, two, three.
(Can't disagree to that)
That really looks cunning.
(Cunning)
I should learn some of that.
Yes, he's great.
He has a lot of expressions.
Next!
- It's "Thanks but let me go home." - Finally, it's this one.
(What is that.)
It's a new word.
I thought it was referring to the alcohol expression.
That was popular when we were young.
It's when you're drinking alcohol.
(Ji Sung was thinking of something different.)
He's old enough.
That's what I thought.
I was like "Can I do this on television?"
This is referring to "Thanks for employing me..."
"but let me go home."
This is what that's referring to.
Employees at work...
are expressing their desire to go home.
(This might be what Ji Sung is actually thinking right now.)
- That is exactly it. - That's right.
All right.
(Thanks for employing me but let me go home.)
That's a wrap.
(Brown Rice Ji Sung ends here!)
Our brown Rice Ji Sung!
Your expressions were all so lively.
Were there any that you think might be useful?
All of them.
There isn't a single one that is useless.
Our Brown Rice Ji Sung was very unpolished and raw...
but now it is polished.
And we have our "Foodmojis!"
Yes!
(Buy now! Ji Sung's Foodmojis! Exclusive on Weekly Idol)
It's time to meet polished Ji Sung.
It's "White Rice Ji Sung!"
I'm curious about "White Rice Ji Sung!"
Out of all our Weekly Idol hosts...
the only person that went on "The Masked Singer"...
is me.
- And to introduce... - How snobby of you!
To talk about it a bit more...
you also went on the show as "Negolas" and got attention.
(Ji Sung captivates his fans with his beautiful voice.)
It's Ji Sung, the leader of our national boy band, Wanna One!
Did you expect other people...
to notice who you were?
I didn't at all.
I didn't have a lot to sing in the band.
I had maybe three seconds to sing.
I can relate to that.
I agree.
But his voice is very distinct.
So I'm sure you gave people a strong impression.
- Your fans would have known. - Of course.
What kind of program is Weekly Idol?
It's very much like Kim Hye Ja.
- It's wonderful. - Of course.
So with the song that Ji Sung unfortunately got eliminated with...
let's hear him sing right here!
(Shout it out loud!)
Which songs have you prepared?
In the first round...
I prepared Sung Si Kyung's "It Would Be Good".
In the second round, I prepared Crush's "Sofa".
And in the third round...
I would have sung "An Old Song" by Kim Dong Ryul.
But I couldn't sing it...
because I was eliminated in the second round.
I'm curious.
Let's take a listen to Yoon Ji Sung's "An Old Song".
- Applause! - Cue the music.
("An Old Song" - Yoon Ji Sung)
[Kocowa Ver] E396 Weekly Idol "Yoon Ji Sung" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(The audience deterring us from immersing in the music)
♪ I listened to a song on an old cassette tape ♪
♪ I accidentally found ♪
♪ The clumsy piano melody the unadorned voice ♪
♪ I smiled at the many memories ♪
♪ Once, I made you a song ♪
♪ As a birthday present ♪
♪ The melody was lame, and it had no lyrics ♪
♪ But you were happy like a child ♪
(The audience feels the music.)
♪ You said that you could feel ♪
♪ My sincere feelings in the song ♪
♪ And you would sometimes hum it and shed tears ♪
♪ I was envious of and longed for ♪
♪ My old self inside the old cassette tape ♪
♪ I cried and laughed ♪
♪ And just mindlessly kept listening to this song ♪
♪ Like a fool ♪
That was amazing!
Are you lip-synching to the mic?
Old cassette tape...
No, it's just a mic.
That was amazing.
His mid-low tone is amazing.
- Really. - His voice is incredible.
His vibrato was amazing.
You have a great vibrato.
Weekly Idol is such a great program.
The fans are probably so happy right now.
It's a very polished...
version of Ji Sung.
Where's the mill?
It's White Rice Ji Sung.
Great.
Finally...
Ji Sung has become Sweet Rice Punch.
To make this sweet drink it takes a lot of effort.
I found out that Ji Sung's hands are famous for being delicate.
Really?
Can you show them to the camera?
(Slender, delicate hands!)
His fingers are so long.
What do you call them? Cuticles?
He must have gotten them all removed.
He doesn't have any cuticles.
I get them done.
This morning, I got them done while getting my hair dyed.
Because hands are important.
Whenever I'm meeting fans at fan meets...
or doing fan signing events.
I have to shake their hands.
I can't show them dirty hands.
So I get them tended to.
Do you have a different way of making hearts?
No, it's basically the same...
except that there is this thing called Wanna One Heart.
Wanna One Heart, okay.
- Do you do this, too? - Our members do this.
Oh, it's pretty.
Oh, that's pretty for sure.
It's pretty, and the size is different.
By the way, are there...
some commercials that you have in mind since you have beautiful hands?
Oh, then...
- for hand cream. - Hand cream!
- Going for that commercial? - Hand cream!
- Okay. - I haven't...
got any commercial offers yet, since I set out...
as a solo artist only recently.
I haven't got any commercial offers yet.
Then, let's make one up! If you go, "Bro, can I use your hand cream?",
then I will give you one.
Hey, Ji Sung! Let's say, I'm Kang Daniel.
- Let's say, you're Crazy Daniel. - You stop.
Hey, Ji Sung! Congrats on releasing a new album.
- Congrats! - Oh, my!
- It's a cool one! - Why, thank you!
How come your hands got so rough?
My name means 'Oily', but my skin is 'Dry'...
- Look at you. - Oh, really?
Ji Sung! It's me, Dae Hwi.
(Dae Hwi has changed a lot ever since.)
I brought you hand cream.
You must have been fed well.
(A sharp comment: 'You must have been fed well')
It's me, Extra Big.
Ah, meaning Big!
Meaning you have an extra big stomach!
Bro, I have an extra big stomach!
Oh, that's right.
- Okay, I will apply some lotion. - He's witty.
- Well, let's do it in a cool way. - Oh, good.
Like you are a model in an ad.
(Lathering)
Oh, wow!
Neurrorera (?) harream (?).
- Ah, you're going for that brand! - Yeah, Neutroge...
(Auto-mute)
- You go like that at the end. - Right, like this.
(Signature pose as a finale)
You go like this even,
like you play the piano, like it's on your face, saying things...
like, "Keep your skin hydrated in the midst of a hectic day".
(That's so true.)
"Keep your dry daily life hydrated".
Neutrorena Hand Cream.
He's good!
By the way, you've got some skills about you...
that when you applied it on your hands, it seemed nonchalant, but...
- you went a bit like this, - Yes.
so can you teach me how to apply it?
Oh, let's learn how to do it.
Consider these as the hands of Babals, and...
Yes, that's true. We are Babals.
First off, your hands are very dry, so...
oh, they're too bony! What should we do about this?
They look like dried-up twigs!
Look like chicken feet, right?
Keep the dry twigs hydrated!
This is...
(Hydrating them)
oh, by the way, you have such beautiful hands!
Oh, are they? That's good.
He applies it really smoothly,
like he's a hand care specialist.
- Take it easy, or they will break. - Because...
because at the fingertips, you see...
these dry skin scabs.
So you have to focus on those areas.
Oh, he's very detail oriented.
It's not over yet.
(Customer, it's not over yet.)
- Like this! - Oh, this...
- is good for blood circulation. - Yeah, and then...
- Oh, wow! - Oh, this...!
is such a skill!
Oh, amazing!
Oh, it feels so good!
Oh, I want to try that too!
I love my hands to be massaged, too!
(Until it's absorbed)
Oh, thank you!
Oh, it feels so good!
Thanks to Ji Sung taking care of my hands,
Kwang Hee's hands have become...
so soft like this,
but we cannot be the only beneficiaries, so...
for our Babals,
we were wondering if we could clay mold your beautiful hands...
and give them as a present.
- Are you okay with it? - Of course.
Isn't this a good program?
Now, we will clay mold...
Ji Sung's hands.
Please take a seat, Ji Sung.
First off, this one.
Have you done this before?
- This one... - No, this is my first time.
- Oh, is that so? Hang on a sec. - Next to you here, is...
a letter you can write while you wait...
for it to harden.
For a Babal who will be receiving this gift,
this letter will be given as well.
With a beautiful hand gesture,
- like that. - Poke it gently, one two three!
(Here goes his beautiful hand.)
This is really...
- Working now? You should pour more. - No, we don't need to.
(Clay mold ready)
It's done.
- You can write a letter now. - Start with 'Dear Babals'...
You see, Kwang Hee is good at this,
"People Kwang Hee met today".
- But he's writing a letter now. - Ah, that's right.
- Can be hard for him to multi-task. - That's right.
- Then... - Oh, I can.
Can you? Then...
I would like to ask you what the most difficult...
aspect of being an idol star was.
You can't multi-task.
Why did you say you could?
I will ask a question, albeit cautiously.
Where would you like to see yourself...
in ten years?
In ten years, I would turn 40.
Oh, is that so?
I'm 29 years old now, so I'd be 39 then, almost 40.
Then what and where would you like Yoon Ji Sung...
of 39 years of age to be?
I want him to be in the broadcasting industry.
I want to keep singing.
I also want to act.
With my Babals,
I would like to create many good memories.
In ten years, Babals...
Will they be there?
There will be more Babals.
Please be there, even in ten years.
I will work harder.
- Can he take his hand off now? - He can.
- No, he can't. - Yes, it's fine.
Now, the mold is ready.
- It's a limited edition kind! - Limited!
One of a kind!
This gift will be sent to one of the Babals...
along with the letter.
Well, let us read the letter.
Please proceed with the molding.
To Babal,
Hello Babal, this is Ji Sung.
How are you?
I want you to always be happy.
Don't get sick, and always be happy.
I'm not sick, but well.
Hope you receive my good energy with this hand of mine.
Hope I can be a good guide to your future.
(A letter with lots of love)
Shall we take a look?
He wrote it himself...
in such a cute manner.
So, this has been 'Do you know this?',
and we looked into Brown Rice Ji Sung, White Rice Ji Sung,
and Sweet Rice Punch Ji Sung.
What is the next segment?
My segment, 'The King of Dance...
- Back to the Debut'. - Yay!
(The King of Dance - Back to the Debut)
As a matter of fact, Ji Sung...
as everyone in the country knows,
made his debut on an audition program.
Did you ever imagine that you would be selected?
No, even in the beginning...
I was like, 'Let's just get in the top 50.',
I thought like that.
I really did.
I didn't think otherwise, and after the program...
I thought I could go on a trip to Jeju or something.
Take a trip or something, because...
- it was too tough. - Grown up now.
I thought that I should take a few months off.
Congratulating others, I didn't imagine that I would be selected.
What was it like when your name was called?
I couldn't hear it well.
The name was announced, but then...
- people went screaming, and... - And?
suddenly, these people in the front,
I was here like this by the way,
people in the front turned around and came running towards me, so...
I was like, 'Who could it be? Someone behind me?',
'Who is it?', but then...
- they came towards me! - Hang on!
- Let's say, we were there. - I was standing there.
(Amazing! Congrats!)
- Congrats! - Is it me?
- Wow! - Me?
- Me? Me? - Yes, you!
- Me? - You!
I was like that, really,
- you'll see if you watch the video. - I love this feeling!
At the scene, it was really inaudible...
because we were not wearing earpieces.
- Ah, I get it. - Because it was too noisy.
It must have sounded like 'Blah blah blah' because it was too noisy.
So they said things like, 'On every episode,
he stood out the most',
so I was like,
you know, Hyeong Seop was next to me,
and he was asking me what it was, so I was like, 'Someone stands out'.
- It was about you, but... - It was about you, but...
They say that someone stands out.
Sometimes it gets quiet,
really quiet, which is when...
they make comments like...
- riddles almost. - That's right.
So I was like,
'Someone's like that.', and...
(Not about me anyhow)
- It's amazing! - Tell me about it.
So...
here...
you know that legendary performance,
"Pick Me".
I don't appear there, though.
- Let's see. - Let's take a look.
- I'll go up close and take a look. - I don't appear there, because...
Well, let's stop talking and have a look.
Let's take a look now!
- I'm not really there! - Let's see, Ji Sung.
(101 contenders' performance, "Pick Me")
Where is he?
I'm there far in the back!
No, let's find him!
I'm in the same line as Min Hyun.
Min Hyun and I stood near one another,
so you see that side,
Yes, from that side?
I don't appear here.
(I don't appear here.)
From that side, you see...
somewhere in the back of that triangle...
I was somewhere there, but it's gone now.
Has it?
(Has it?)
Please rewind it, I was...
seen from the side.
(Ji Sung is not there...)
Please stop here!
- Here he was! - Right before this!
Please stop here!
- Here he was! - Right before this!
- Try it with a cursor! - There I was!
Here it is!
Rewind again, and go back to where Tae Woo was...
where Tae Woo was.
- No, before. - This is funny.
No, right after that.
Forward it to the ending part.
Forward it, yes.
Forward it,
forward it, forward it,
here, this is me.
Oh, there he is!
Here, this is me.
(It's not that only he can see himself.)
Oh, isn't this a ghost?
This is me.
Ah, there he is!
- I can see his eyes! - Aye, Ji Sung!
(Here he is.)
Ji Sung's eyes were there.
- This side of his face... - My high cheekbones were.
Other than this, in fact, though,
a more important performance is awaiting us.
We will have a performance here...
so you can satisfy your displeasure from that day.
Ji Sung prepared...
a performance for "Pick Me"!
The main character tonight is you!
- Ji Sung, it's you! - It's me!
Ji Sung, please get ready.
Yoon Ji Sung's Back to the Debut, "Pick Me",
cue the music, please!
("Pick Me" - Yoon Ji Sung)
A solo performance!
(Ji Sung, take it away!)
Getting nervous!
Take the center stage!
- Just like when they made their debut! - That's right!
Pick me, pick me, pick me!
Pick me, pick me!
Yoon Ji Sung!
It's me!
Here we go!
- He's good! - Yes!
That's right!
Pick me, pick me, pick me!
(Amazing)
(Ji Sung takes center stage!)
You take center stage!
It's you!
I'm out of breath!
You have to make this gesture that shows you are out of breath.
(Okay then)
(Huffing and puffing)
One more Babal, please!
(Out of breath)
Oh, by the way,
I feel moved,
because we watched that video where Ji Sung appeared...
like a ghost, but then...
now that we see his solo performance,
it was so moving.
How does it feel now that you relived the moment?
This is my first time wearing this school uniform...
since the show 'Produce 101'.
Is this the school uniform?
Yes, so...
it feels really strange,
like...
I have to say something like, 'Everyone, please support us!'.
Thank you so much for enabling me to make my debut.
I felt it once again today,
thank you so much for enabling me to make my debut.
(Thank you so much for enabling me to make my debut.)
See, do you remember the moment...
now that you're wearing this?
Remembering the dance moves back then?
Of course, I remember...
- What you practiced. - all these "10 out of 10",
and "Sonagi".
Did you keep washing this?
- Was it worn out? - Yes, that's why it looks like...
Yeah, you can see that.
The clothes look worn out, and...
They are not that great, as a matter of fact.
Yes, they're really thin!
I assume the texture must have been really stiff at first.
No, it was really this thin.
Hey, if there have to be 101 uniforms, it has to be like this.
Since you have to lower the unit cost.
- You have to cut it down! - Ah, there have to be 101 of them!
You have to lower the unit cost.
Still, Ji Sung in these clothes...
It feels like his youth back in the day.
- What about youth? - You see,
he was selected in the face of adversity,
making a success in the midst of it all, so I'm proud of Ji Sung.
- A round of applause once again! - That's right!
You must feel proud of yourself, please say that to yourself,
as someone who tried his best!
Ji Sung!
You did a good job!
Be a better person,
and present laughter...
and joy to many people.
You're doing a good job,
so let's eat well and live well!
He talks about eating well all the time!
You've been with Weekly Idol today. What about your future plans?
First off, on the 20th of this month,
on Feb 20th, my album 'Aside',
with my title song "In the Rain", will be released.
Can I just wait to appear on Weekly Idol next time again?
- Yes! - No,
you can just give us a call when you want to appear.
We could give you a call before then.
I would like to see you again on Weekly Idol.
Please contact me again next time. It was so fun today.
Thank you Ji Sung for being with us today,
and we at Weekly Idol wish for you to tread...
the ricey and the flowery path in the future.
We will see you next week. This has been...
Yoon Ji Sung!
- Thank you! - See you next week, bye!
Yoon Ji Sung, fighting!
- Fighting, "In the Rain"! - "In the Rain"!
"In the Rain"!
(Weekly Idol will keep rooting for you, Ji Sung!)
(Sketching the Weekly Idol for next week!)
Hello, this is Ha Sung Woon, a solo artist!
I am not that good at drawing.
I think this was what was interesting today.
It's a spoiler, but...
there was a sword, some cotton candy,
and a mic.
Can I write texts?
Here is a new profile.
(Guess what this is, Haneul!)
Sketching the Weekly Idol...
for next week!
If you are curious about this drawing,
on Wednesday, Mar 6th, at 5pm!
See you on Weekly Idol!
