(A man no one can dare to touch)
(Jong Kook has become much softer.)
Make yourself comfortable and talk.
He's like a bulldozer.
(Then let me begin my talk.)
Did you research about me before coming here?
(A fearless rookie, Lee Yi Kyung)
(I know about Jong Kook well.)
(He does nerve training all the time.)
(A man who has no tomorrow, Yoo Se Yoon)
(I had a hard time because of Jong Kook.)
(The anger he kept inside is going to explode today.)
(A man who has lost his control, Shorry)
(Stop it. That's enough.)
(Jong Kook's juniors act up endlessly.)
(Will he be able to...)
(hold himself back today?)
("What's Wrong, Jong Kook" begins now!)
What's wrong, Jong Shin?
You were surprised when I zoomed in the screen with my fingers...
on the phone.
(While they were looking at a photo)
(You know how to zoom in also?)
(I do now.)
I know that much.
I heard 2G service won't be available anymore soon.
Those phones that use 2G service can't zoom in with fingers.
It works sometimes.
What's wrong, Gu Ra?
We don't seem to talk anymore in the waiting room.
He didn't talk to me at all today.
I don't feel the need to.
Let's at least exchange greetings next week.
- Something like this, "Hi, Gu Ra." - All right.
What's wrong, Tae Hyun?
You're on a lot of shows these days to promote Brave Hongcha.
I heard "I Can See Your Voice 6" got high ratings last week.
I heard it placed first.
I hope you work harder on Radio Star.
What's wrong, Gook Jin?
Why are you wearing pants with fleece lining...
when the studio is so warm?
He loves those pants.
(A 54-year-old man who loves pants with fleece lining)
Why don't you wear light pants...
now that the weather's warmer?
He's wearing those pants again.
They're waterproof also.
It seems like he wears those pants every Wednesday.
- I think so too. - They're really warm.
We don't know what's wrong with all of us,
but now we're accepting each other.
We are a high-end program with too much information.
- It's Radio Star! - Radio Star.
We have four guests today whom we're more curious about...
than the next episode of "What's Wrong, Poongsang?".
It's "What's Wrong, Jong Kook" Special.
"What's Wrong, Jong Kook".
- Jong Kook is the main guest? - Yes.
He came to our show as a rookie who looks like Kim Soo Hyun,
but ended up becoming a Kim Bum Soo look-alike.
Today, I feel like he'll just be referred to as Jong Kook's friend.
It's actor Lee Yi Kyung.
- He looks much better. - He looks a little like Jong Kook.
He looks much better.
All he thinks about...
is workout and the States.
Why does he work so much?
Does he really have a girlfriend in the States?
Why does he talk so much?
What's wrong, Jong Kook?
- Kim Jong Kook is here with us. - All right.
He goes to LA only of all the states.
But those are the things that Park Chan Ho likes to do.
They're similar.
His social media has become popular once again...
thanks to his son that looks like him.
But after acting up in front of Jong Kook,
his future doesn't seem stable.
A man with a strong heart, Yoo Se Yoon.
- Se Yoon's with us. - He seems really happy these days.
He's shorty who always sticks around Jong Kook...
when he has a partner named Sangchu.
He's a short man, but he hopes his career...
to be long and thin. Shorry is here.
- Welcome. - All right.
- It's been a while. - They are Jong Kook's men.
- There they are. - Welcome, everyone.
- Hello, guys! - Hello.
- What's with you? - Hello.
- It's been so long. - They're Jong Kook's men.
- Hello, hello. - Hi.
What's wrong, Shorry? Take your seat.
You got married not too long ago.
I couldn't see you guys while sitting there.
- I couldn't see you too. - Me too.
(He couldn't see them well when he was standing too.)
This is the one Tae Hyun is promoting.
What's wrong, Jong Kook?
Why would you say that?
- Yi Kyung. - Yes.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, it's my second time here.
I'm actor Lee Yi Kyung.
- Hello, Yi Kyung. - Hello.
It seems like your nose got bigger than last time.
That's just how you feel.
You have a proboscis?
(Gu Ra just says whatever comes to his mind.)
Hello, I'm a man who is like a giving tree.
- I'm Kim Jong Kook. - What's he saying?
- Why did you say that suddenly? - Why did you say that suddenly?
- Sorry? - I've never heard of that.
How can you call yourself a giving tree?
- You've given me nothing. - It's because...
(Tae Hyun's dumbfounded.)
Hello.
I'm Yoo Se Yoon who's focusing on living a slow life.
- What was that? - What's wrong with you?
Wasn't that too serious?
- I can't get used to this. - Why are you so serious?
It's because Jong Kook started it.
- Why are you so serious? - Se Yoon, why do you always...
tilt your head like this?
Because this is my good side.
I see.
It's the angle for Haduri photos.
As a matter of fact,
Se Yoon and I...
are depression buddies.
I always check Se Yoon's mood every time I see him.
You've gotten so much better.
- He seems really happy these days. - He always...
checks my mood.
But I feel like he's jealous of me.
- He's jealous of my happiness. - Not at all.
- Not at all. - It seems like you are.
- I've gotten better too. - Yes.
He's the master of depression.
- What do you mean? - Master of depression?
- What does that even mean? - I know. Is there such a thing?
- You are the master. - I agree.
- I can be one? - There's no such thing.
Se Yoon's the master, and Gu Ra's the original.
Why don't you just call me someone famous for depression?
(He's famous for having depression.)
Shorry, please greet the viewers.
I'm a short man on another level who gives hope to every short man.
Short men are born to be loved.
Hello, I'm Shorry of Mighty Mouth. It's nice to be here.
- That was cool. - Short man on another level.
- He is on another level. - That was a fine greeting.
Yi Kyung, you must be really busy these days.
I hear you only sleep two hours a day.
Yes, it's because I'm shooting a drama after another one.
After "Children of Nobody"?
- Yes, I'm doing another one. - Which one?
I'm shooting "Welcome to Waikiki 2".
It's on its second season.
"Welcome to Waikiki 2" sounds like a combination of two dramas.
- It does sound like that. - There's "Waikiki Brothers".
It's like "Super Radical Gag Family".
("Super Radical Gag Family" sounds like that too.)
You go on a vacation while shooting something?
Let me explain about this one.
I wanted to take a break...
because I've been working without a break.
I also shot 3 to 4 works at the same time.
- That'd be exhausting. - Aren't you tired?
It's okay. It gives a sense of satisfaction.
Lack of sleep can lead to depression.
- I'm serious. - He's at it again.
He's a depression preacher.
- I'm not sure if you know this... - I dare you to go through it.
- It's not that bad. - I know.
The first thing that leads to depression is lack of sleep.
And when you get stressed and don't eat enough,
you're likely to be depressed.
I fit all those categories,
but other than that...
He's going to preach until everyone gets depressed.
- He's a depression preacher. - Don't be like that.
- Don't be like that. - Being depressed...
and getting over it can make you become happier.
- And so... - Please take good care of yourself.
Pardon? Anyway, I wanted to...
go on a pilgrimage for my vacation.
It was on my bucket list.
- The Camino Santiago? - Yes, I just...
wanted to organize my thoughts...
and keep walking.
- Not for religious purpose. - Walking is good.
So I looked up everything about it.
Then my agency suggested me...
to shoot a show called "Borderless Food Cart".
They suggested you to go on a vacation through that?
- You had to shoot that show? - I see.
I could travel, shoot, and cook as well.
But that doesn't sound bad.
They said it'd be nice to meet people from other countries.
- Come on. - But shooting a show on vacation...
- It's not a vacation. - It's not.
That's not taking a break.
- So I still didn't take my break. - You'll end up getting depressed.
- Of course. - I know.
(Everything leads to depression.)
You seem to know every way that leads to depression, Se Yoon.
If nothing works out, just get married.
(Laughing)
I'm just kidding.
All right.
- Jong Kook. - I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
You're holding a concert after nine years because of Radio Star?
Let me explain...
why I'm here today.
Tae Hyun called me not long ago.
He suggested a big deal.
- A big deal? - He said he'll be on...
- "I Can See Your Voice 6"? - "I Can See Your Voice 6".
And he wanted me to be on Radio Star.
But when I thought about it,
- he had to promote Brave Hongcha, - Brave Hongcha?
- so he needed to be on that show. - To promote?
When he suggested that deal,
I told him to give me some time to think.
Then one day, he set an appointment to be on "I Can See Your Voice 6".
That meant I agreed on his big deal.
That's why I'm here today.
Actually, I have no reason to be on Radio Star.
- You had nothing to promote. - I was so upset.
I've been...
pondering whether to hold a solo concert or not.
- But he's a variety show star. - I thought I should hold one...
- when I release a new song. - He has to star on TV shows.
- He has time to meet girls, but... - You wanted to have an excuse.
Yes, so...
- You're holding a concert? - I decided to hold a concert.
But I heard the tickets were sold out right away.
I was so upset again...
because the tickets were sold out.
I wanted to promote my concert on Radio Star.
Then again, I had no other reason to be on the show.
From what I see,
you're full of anger.
Men of his age get angry easily.
- I mean... - He's full of anger.
So I changed my concert to a national tour.
I know. I heard you're doing a national tour.
Anyway, since I'm here, I have to promote my tour.
You're doing a national tour because of Radio Star?
That means you're doing a national tour thanks to me.
He's the type of friend who always complicates things.
Tae Hyun, you're calling that a big deal...
when it's just Jong Kook?
You see? You're not even considered as a big star on this show.
- From what I see... - You need to invite a bigger star.
- We want at least... - How much bigger of a star?
You invited no one of big important after Zo In Sung.
What happened to you?
We need at least Lee Kwang Soo on top of Jong Kook.
I told him many times, but he still doesn't know...
- where he stands. - You should have brought Kwang Soo.
(Tae Hyun is frustrated.)
- Go on "Show! Music Core" also. - You're doing it with Kim Jung Nam?
No, not this time.
- They must be doing it together. - No, no.
I'm doing it solo this time.
I'll be doing the solo concert first.
We might release an album together.
- As Turbo? - Yes.
Last time I checked,
Gab Jin was doing all the gigs for Turbo.
He was covering the parts of Mickey and Jung Nam...
- during the gigs. - Gab Jin is more popular now.
- He's Jong Kook's manager? - During his concerts...
- Gab Jin's really famous. - His manager is more popular.
Gab Jin is famous because he's on the show with Jong Kook.
My manager is more famous now.
- Is that so? - I used to do replace them.
- Jong Kook made him practice. - He's full of excitement.
- He is. - But that's too much.
He likes singing and dancing.
Jong Kook made him practice.
I mean, the audience likes it better when Gab Jin is on the stage.
People love it.
Put your hands up.
(He perfectly dances to the choreography.)
Se Yoon,
you've revealed your house and wife through a show.
(He revealed his personal life for the 1st time in 15 years.)
(Se Yoon's look-alike son)
I heard you're really busy,
and that's because you said something wrong?
- What happened? - Let me explain.
There were days when I was really immature.
- That's right. - I was immature when I was a host.
And I became obsessed with being an artist.
- Right. - I was a little immature.
I said...
I'd be on any show as long as the pay is adequate.
I said I'd be there as long as the pay is right.
You seem like you're doing that.
So I'm hired for the shows...
that hired me with such pay.
- I'm happy with it. - How many shows are you doing?
I'm doing four shows on a regular basis.
Before,
if I had nothing to talk about...
- just like Jong Kook... - I know.
I was surprised to see you reveal your house.
I'd have rejected,
but then I thought, "Until when would I be cast for a show?"
I thought it like that.
You've become more positive.
Are you suffering financially...
or what?
That's not the case.
Some celebrities do that.
My kid used to not watch variety show.
- Your kid? I see. - But after he started watching,
I was a little disappointed...
when my son didn't know that...
I was on the shows that he likes to watch.
- Of course. - So I asked him,
"Would you like it if I were on that show?"
- Then he jumped out of excitement. - Really?
He posts a lot of photos of his son on his social media.
- His son? - How old is he?
- He's in 4th grade. - 11 years old?
(Se Yoon's SNS is full of his son's clips.)
- He's really cute. - That's when kids watch shows.
He likes watching his dad on TV.
- He grew up a lot. - What are you thinking about?
What does he do these days? All Lies Band.
I think he's on "Hometown Report".
Really?
I might end up being on that show also.
- It's been long since I watched it. - I know.
- It's been long. - Woo Seung Min of All Lies Band.
(Give me some snack too)
- Give me some snack too - He's close to him.
(Full of silliness)
How have you been, Seung Min?
(I'm doing great.)
What's the theme for today's episode?
- That's why... - Is it muscular man special?
Gu Ra isn't reacting at all.
- No, that's not true. - I like how cool you are.
(I like how cool you are.)
Shorry, you've been up to "vacuum cleaner" kiss?
- What's that? - You're asking that all the sudden?
- You got married. Congratulations. - What's that?
- Why is it called that? - He got married?
He is married.
He didn't invite anyone...
to his wedding...
because he wanted to act like a single man.
- I didn't know he was married. - You didn't invite anyone?
My family and I...
agreed to make the wedding small...
- and invite just family members. - You're small anyway.
That's right, I'm very small.
My wife is even smaller than me.
- I know. You're small anyway. - So the wedding was small.
My family including my parents-in-law...
wanted only the family members to be invited.
It was a small wedding.
- How long has it been? - Since my wedding?
It's been four months.
(It's been four months since his wedding.)
- I thought it'd be simple... - So you got married last year?
since it was a small wedding.
But his wedding was held at a luxurious hotel.
- Really? - That's not true.
It was a super luxurious hotel.
- That's why you didn't invite us. - That's not true.
You know the hotel that has "tree" in its name.
- That hotel's... - The "tree" hotel.
price range differs greatly every month.
I got married on November 3.
The price gap between October and November...
is this big.
It's cheap to hold a wedding at 6am, right?
That's right.
- Can you even get up? - That's right.
- That's available? - Like a breakfast meeting.
That means you have to get ready at midnight the day before.
Your range of topic is much wider now.
It is much wider.
- It's much wider now. - I agree.
- That's great. - He only smiles...
- when he hears compliments. - That's great.
- Your image changed a lot, Gu Ra. - That's enough, everyone.
You're really determined to make people laugh.
(He's happier now.)
So what is "vacuum cleaner" kiss?
So what happened is, after getting married,
we're enjoying our honeymoon phase.
We do "vacuum cleaner" kiss a lot at home.
Is it kissing while stepping on a vacuum cleaner?
It's in the living room.
He thinks like you because he's short also.
- Your height is similar to his. - Since you're short also.
- So we think alike. - They have the same height.
I step on a vacuum machine to get something from a shelf.
He thinks like Shorry.
"Vacuum cleaner" kiss works like this. While sitting on a sofa,
(Sucking)
- if I make a sound like this, - It's like sucking in.
my wife runs to me.
(His wife runs to him and gives him a kiss.)
That's how it works? I see.
- So that's "vacuum cleaner" kiss. - If my wife makes that sound,
I run to her.
(Not so impressed)
- My gosh. - They do all sorts of things.
- They're in their honeymoon phase. - They surely are newlyweds.
- It's because we're newlyweds. - They're enjoying it.
You're the best.
- You don't mean that at all. - I mean it.
"You're the best."
By the way, you were too busy that you couldn't go on your honeymoon?
It's because...
I was fortunately shooting a drama.
- Oh, you were shooting a drama. - I was shooting "My Healing Love".
- "My Healing Love"? - Oh, right.
It ended not too long ago.
We're going on our honeymoon...
- after a few days... - So you're going.
- on Saturday. - Where are you going to?
- We're going to Hawaii. - Hawaii?
We'll enjoy ourselves there.
Hawaii sounds nice.
- Hawaii is great. - How old is your wife?
- She's two years younger than me. - She's younger, right?
What made you decide to marry her?
- What was it? - Well...
Is it because she matches your height?
That's an important factor too.
He used to date tall girls only.
Why would you talk about that?
Don't talk the about women he met before he got married.
You're right. Thank you!
But...
Why not? It's all in the past.
Most women must be taller than him.
Jong Kook doesn't know because he's not married.
I really thought I should...
never introduce my wife to Jong Kook.
- He loves pulling jokes. - That's not true.
- But... - I just like pulling some jokes.
I hear that Jong Kook...
is tagging along to your honeymoon.
- What? - Really?
Why would you do that?
To Hawaii?
Why are you being so nasty?
- Why would you do that? - He said he's going to LA also.
If I don't go see him in LA,
he's going to make my life really difficult.
- It'll be really difficult. - You'll be in LA then?
I was going to help him...
not spend much on his travel...
if he comes to visit me.
I'm the type that gives generously like the giving tree.
(He keeps emphasizing it.)
Does he make you suffer if you don't go greet him?
- He makes my life miserable. - Not at all.
I'm not that type.
You still live like how you did when you were living in Anyang.
(Back when his life was comfortable)
- Stop it already. - That was a dark time.
I'm so glad that he's holding concerts.
Thank you!
(He's grateful for a miracle-like situation.)
Se Yoon, you went on your honeymoon with your friends.
- Right, he did. - I brought two of my friends.
So the four of us went together.
My two friends, my wife and I were on the trip.
I don't recommend it.
- Of course. - It shouldn't be like that.
But isn't that what every man dreams of?
How is that every man's dream?
- Tagging along on honeymoon? - Going with your friends...
- For me, I think... - But it's the worst for your wife.
I didn't know that.
I thought we could have our own time...
and hang out with my friends also.
When we were hanging out...
in the resort, we met four women who were there on their vacation.
They joined us because...
my friends were single.
We all hung out together, including my wife.
Without realizing,
I paid my attention to them more.
The atmosphere made me like that.
I was getting along with them.
- It's because you were a newlywed. - That's when...
- my wife got upset. - Your wife did? I see.
Of course.
That's how you used to hang out with your friends when you were single.
No, that's not it.
I just had to support them.
(Don't invite anyone to your honeymoon.)
Shorry, you live in Yi Kyung's neighborhood?
- That's right. - Yes, we're neighbors.
You thought Yi Kyung's family is rich,
- I really thought... - but you found out he's not?
I thought his family was super rich.
- I really thought like that. - People think...
his family is well-off.
- According to his acquaintances... - His family is...
- His father... - Oh, really?
- His father's a CEO. - Right.
He's just a CEO, right? Not the owner?
- He's just a salaryman. - That's right.
- He didn't establish the company. - Right.
He's a successful salaryman.
- That's right. - I see.
But Shorry thought your father owned that company.
- I really thought so. - You thought he was the owner.
I thought he was super rich.
- Super rich? - Me?
I thought it like that.
But you found out he's not after meeting him?
I ran into Yi Kyung while taking a walk...
near my neighborhood.
Someone greeted me from his car.
Someone called out my name, and it turned out to be Yi Kyung.
I checked out his car without realizing.
He got off and went somewhere, and I checked out the car he parked.
I really thought his family was super rich.
So I thought he was thrifty.
There are many misconceptions about me.
Some say things like I own an expensive car.
I read that in the comment section.
My father was also distressed.
- I also got him wrong. - Such things happen.
You were probably riding 1 of your 3 cars.
(You were probably riding 1 of your 3 cars.)
(I'm just kidding.)
Yi Kyung, I hear you can't forget...
Shorry's first impression.
I'm such a huge fan of Mighty Mouse...
that I know all of their songs.
- Really? - You must be a big fan.
I'm serious.
I got to meet him through variety shows,
and we also went to the same gym.
- You live in the same neighborhood. - He's really prudent.
When I met him in the gym,
he shyly walked away when I said hello.
Then he hit the punching bag for 30 minutes and left.
You know how he's a star.
I have a hard time approaching stars like him.
I can't even say hello. I'm depressed because of them.
So when I was shooting a drama...
Didn't you mean to say you were nervous?
- Oh, right. - It's not depression.
It's because he kept talking about depression.
I was depressed because I was a super star.
Depression?
- I was nervous in front of them. - You were nervous.
That's right.
Being depressed because of being a star means you are a star.
That's right.
I was nervous to talk in front of stars.
So when someone seems to be becoming popular,
I can't approach him or her.
Is it because you're shy?
I'm very timid.
But you seem like a pocket man.
You know, like a pocket girl.
Then does that make me a pocket boy?
You're like a pocket girl.
I couldn't approach them because I'm timid.
But he's the type who used to go wild at a club after having drinks.
(Tear that pocket.)
Se Yoon, you're going to...
sing the theme song for the drama Yi Kyung is starring in?
- So he's doing music also. - Have you listened to the song?
- Yes, I have. - Really?
So the four of us are related to each other somehow.
I actually thought you were going to be in the drama.
- I... - Really?
- I thought like that at first. - So what happened was,
when we had our first meeting,
they wanted me to sing it in UV style because they love it.
So when I recorded it in UV style, they said it's too impactful.
What was too intense?
- What's the song title? - How are the lyrics?
I wrote about a person who just became an adult.
- Give us an example. - "Now I can go to a club."
"Now I can go to a motel."
"Now I can watch R-rated movies."
- It sounds okay. - I think it's okay.
Most of UV's songs have intense lyrics.
There's something I want to know.
I sing UV's songs at a karaoke.
One of their songs has really intense lyrics.
But that song isn't rated R.
Which song?
You can say it.
Please don't, please don't, please don't sleep
- This song. - Why should it be rated R?
- It just tells you not to sleep. - Isn't it rated R?
What's the title of that song?
- "No Way Can't Be". - "No Way Can't Be".
- Ha Dong Qn was featured in it. - That's right.
Dong Qn came without even knowing about the lyrics.
(Imitating Dong Qn)
Don't sleep, don't sleep
Please don't sleep
- At the end, he even said, - I know.
- "I regret singing this song." - That's right.
- He knows a lot about their songs. - In fact,
at the end of the song, Dong Qn sang...
I regret singing this song
(Why did I decide to do this?)
- He gave me an offer too. - That won't work.
Wasn't the song about poop? I said it was too intense.
- It was about... - You sang about a dung beetle too.
- "My anus is strong." - That's right.
- Isn't that how it goes? - How do you know that?
I heard a lot of your songs.
- He listens to the whole album. - He really likes UV.
It's a children's song. You listen to children's songs too.
I listen to all of your songs because I like...
- your voice. - I see.
Did you do research because of this show?
No. That's not the case.
- Didn't you do research? - No.
The song I asked Jong Shin to be featured...
The original song is a traditional Korean children's song.
- "My Anus Is Strong". - That's right.
The original song is a traditional Korean children's song.
- My son also likes the song. - Kids like the song.
Since my son likes it too, I thought...
that if I rearrange the song in EDM version,
both children and adults would like it.
- The year before last... - Yes.
My song "Like it" was ranked top for two months in a row,
and you asked me to be featured in that song.
It wasn't the right time to sing about the anus.
So I said, "Give me some time."
"My song is selling so well. I'm sorry."
"Let's do it some other time."
I told you that, right?
Oh, that's what this was about.
- This... - That's right.
- What happened... - He protested in front of MBC.
MBC?
- Is this Shindong? - Yes.
None of the three public networks approved the song.
- Did you two sing it together? - I see.
- Shindong filmed the music video. - No, they didn't.
- He directed many music videos. - As a director?
That's a very famous children's song.
- You know the song, right? - Yes, I do.
- But we didn't get approval. - Why was it banned?
So when I appeared in the music program...
hosted by Yu Hui Yeol,
I said I wanted to sing that song.
I asked if I could change the word "poop" and sing it.
I said I would change it to "thing".
But the staff said...
that it could be even more controversial.
- Why? - It's because...
If I change it to "thing"...
Long thing, short thing
Thick thing, thin thing
That's even worse.
(The word comes out like mines in a minefield.)
- It's all over the song. - What's that?
- Jong Kook. - Yes?
When Tae Hyun appeared on "Men on a Mission",
he said that you often go to the US to meet a woman.
He's crazy.
- He said it. - He's weird.
(Jong Kook didn't pick up the phone.)
(His wife is in the US.)
(When will be his wedding?)
(He already got married. He has a kid too.)
You said you just work out when you go to the US.
Going to the US just to work out doesn't make sense.
Why would you go there just to work out?
- I was trying to help you. - Do you eat a lot there?
One day, he started saying it all of a sudden.
- He said it on "Family Outing". - That's right.
- Did I say it on "Family Outing"? - It was your first time...
- for saying it. - Yes, you did.
- It must've been a long time ago. - I'll explain.
My mother likes to travel with me.
So I travel overseas with her often,
especially Los Angeles since she likes it there.
- Tae Hyun thinks... - He said it on "Family Outing".
that there's no reason for me to travel with my mother that often.
He thinks it's weird.
Do you still think he's lying?
I still believe so.
- I also believe he has a child. - It shows up very often.
People say, "Why would he go on trips with his mother?"
"I'm sure his mother goes there..."
"to see her grandchild and daughter-in-law."
- And financially... - Oh, they have reasons.
- Right. I see. - His child says, "Hi, Daddy."
- "Daddy, long time no see." - "Daddy, Daddy."
- His child can't speak Korean. - "It's been a long time."
- "Daddy." - His child can't speak Korean well.
Wouldn't that be nice?
However, there are some people who really believe it.
There's a rumor that your child goes to UCLA.
(Serious)
Some people ask me about it like that.
- It's been upgraded. - In the US...
- His child is a college student. - I heard it's a sport university.
(His child takes after him.)
Where in Los Angeles do you usually go?
There are many great gym franchises...
there.
- You and your mother go there? - Yes.
- That's great. - And we eat dinner. In the evening,
my mother feels tired.
Since she goes to bed early,
I go home... I mean,
I hang out with my friends.
- Did he say home? - See? He goes home...
- to see his wife... - No.
- and his lovely son. - No.
- "Hi, Daddy." - "Long time no see."
"I saw your muscles."
(You shouldn't tease your daddy!)
Shorry said that Jong Kook carries...
a lot of gold accessories when he goes to the US.
- He doesn't wear them in Korea. - I'm curious about this.
- He wears them only in the US. - See? There must be a reason...
for him to go to the US.
- Gold necklaces and watches... - Really?
Usually, gold accessories remind me of a thug.
- Exactly. - Gosh.
Do you also have gold teeth?
- You don't, do you? - No, I don't.
- Take out two of tour front teeth. - I like gold accessories.
- And... - Did you have your teeth laminated?
- Gold teeth. - Teeth laminated with gold.
(Watch your wrist.)
- He suddenly got upset. - I also...
- I also like... - Gold teeth.
- hip hop style... - He likes hip hop.
- although I sing ballad songs. - Gold chains and things like that.
- Why don't you wear them in Korea? - Sorry?
I wear them in Korea sometimes.
It'd be great if he wore some gold accessories...
and became the next gong man on "Comedy Big League".
(You should be the gong man.)
You hit the gong and show off your gold accessories.
- The man who hits the gong? - Yes.
- That's a good idea. - Yes. He's perfect for a gong man.
Shorry, don't you think it's a good idea?
It's highly recommended.
- Hit the gong just once. - Right.
- Hit the gong. - Wearing a sleeveless shirt.
It's just my style.
Even though I wear cheap clothes,
I wear a gold accessory.
I wear a simple short sleeve T-shirt and a gold accessory.
I like that style.
You have a nice body.
I don't have to wear expensive clothes.
Do you drive a roofless car when you're in Los Angeles?
No, no. I don't do that. I don't like things like that.
Spinning your cardigan like this while driving.
(Showing off)
That's what cowboys do.
(There's all sorts of speculation about his life in Los Angeles.)
- Jong Kook said... - Yes?
- that he couldn't bear to watch... - Why?
- Tae Hyun on Radio Star. - Well, I...
He is a little nicer on Radio Star...
than I expected him to be.
It's because...
when he's with his close friends,
- he likes criticizing us. - He does that a lot.
He likes backbiting others too.
I watched him on Radio Star several times.
And he didn't act the way he usually does when he's with us.
I could see that he was trying to keep the line.
How can I act like that when I don't personally know them?
- He can't do it publicly. - They're not my friends.
- Gu Ra does it regardless of that. - I don't even know them.
- Right. - Gu Ra...
criticize people regardless whether he knows them or not.
That's what you guys do on this show.
- Tae Hyun does it in real life. - I've always acted like that.
But Tae Hyun isn't the same.
- He should do the same. - So does he criticize...
you, Jang Hyuk,
and Hong Kyung Min mostly?
- Yes. He criticizes us a lot. - I see.
He also criticizes his junior entertainers whom he's close to...
like Lee Kwang Soo.
- And some other... - What does he say?
Tae Hyun appeared on "I Can See Your Voice" not long ago.
And the show got the highest ratings...
- when he appeared on it. - That's right.
He sent me the news article...
- and tried to take the credit. - I didn't know.
- He bragged about it. - "Help us get the highest ratings."
Right.
"Come on my show just like I did your show."
- He says a lot of weird things. - He sends you weird stuff.
Not long ago, Han Ye Seul appeared on a TV show and said...
- That's... - It was "Mom's Diary", right?
- She said on the show... - Ye Seul said that...
because the other men...
- She had only a few choices. - That's right.
She didn't have many choices.
- That's right. - Right.
(Kim Jung Nam, Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Min, Bbaek Ga)
(I would choose Jong Kook.)
(Jong Kook's mother smiles.)
- It wasn't like that. - It's odd to take it seriously.
- It wasn't like that. Ye Seul... - He kept saying...
- that she really liked me. - likes men like him.
- She said it. - Isn't she from Los Angeles?
- Yes. - That's right.
That's true, but...
- So I told him... - It seems like it.
that since he didn't say it first,
but Ye Seul said so,
he could meet her for a meal.
He's weird.
- I keep showing him her photos. - I think...
- Tae Hyun says unrealistic things. - That's right.
He says unrealistic things.
He talks as if he's a viewer.
- It's not easy to do. - Haven't you met her at the gym?
(He suddenly jumped in.)
- Ye Seul is... - I'm saying we should arrange...
- a meeting so he can meet her. - close friends with my friend...
who works out with me early in the morning.
See? That's perfect.
So I met her a few times when she came to the gym.
- I have met her in the US too. - My gosh.
They even met in the US too.
- That is why... - I think he's the problem.
- Right? - He's the problem.
He's weird. He makes people believe what he says.
Anyway, they met up in Los Angeles.
- It wasn't like that. - He's the problem.
- In the end... - Because we're a little acquainted,
- Ye Seul picked me. - I didn't know about Los Angeles.
- So I asked my friend... - Right. I see.
to tell her I'm grateful to her for talking highly of me.
You should meet her again to thank her.
(Teasing him)
He's crazy.
(See?)
- Jong Kook, - Yes?
when Jang Hyuk came on Radio Star, Tae Hyun said he would bet Hyuk...
if he and you fight.
I said he would lose a lot of money.
But you two are in different weight classes.
- We're in different weight classes. - Regardless of the weight class.
- Regardless of the weight class. - Regardless of it.
Pardon? I always wonder why people want to see us fight?
- I mean... - Hold on.
I understand that people are curious about it.
- I'm really curious about it. - You two haven't sparred, right?
- Pardon? - You two haven't sparred, right?
No, we haven't. We're in different weight classes.
- You both have a lot to lose. - Also,
people always talk about who are better at fighting.
This is what I always say. When it comes to fighting,
natural talents...
beat the skills obtained through training.
- I see. - And...
- So are you a natural born fighter? - You can...
get bigger muscles...
and improve your physical strength by working out hard.
But you need natural talents to be a good fighter.
- If you have natural talents... - However...
- and stories of your life... - He talked about boxing.
- We talked about boxing. - You see...
He learned boxing for a long time.
And Hyuk posted a lot of videos.
Hyuk demonstrated boxing when he came here.
That's right.
He did this the whole time.
(Hyuk demonstrated shadowboxing.)
That's great.
His arms wouldn't get out of this area.
- He did it a lot. - I...
watched the videos of his shadowboxing.
I wonder if he's doing it right.
- He looks like... - He moves his arms...
- like this. - He doesn't stretch out his arms.
He looks...
- He keeps throwing uppercuts. - He doesn't even dodge punches.
- You can hit him like this. - His arms...
He ended up provoking Hyuk.
When I see it,
he shouldn't throw a punch at that angle.
He doesn't do anything like this.
I know that boxers don't...
- stretch out their arms a lot. - They move like this.
- And then they... - But he should throw a hook...
like this as well.
But all he does is this.
This is all he does.
Gosh. He's excited.
I don't know what he's doing. I don't even know what that is.
- Do it again. - You saw him doing it.
He moves like this.
I don't do it like he does.
My punches are powerful.
Jab, jab, hook. Right. I...
- When you throw a hook... - I surprise myself.
- I like sparring... - He's strong.
I go to the boxing gym for sparring.
That's the only place I can use my fists without breaking any laws.
- Your fists? - Yes.
Do you wear a headgear?
Of course, I do.
"Without breaking any laws".
On which level are your opponents?
- I spar with the chief trainer. - The chief trainer?
- I go to the same gym. - I spar...
with people who are heavier than me.
- They were all surprised. - Someone said on our show,
"Jong Kook?"
- He was an amateur gold medalist. - Who was it?
- He's an actor. - Ahn Bo Hyun.
(Ahn Bo Hyun, a former boxer, came on the show in August, 2018.)
(Jong Kook seems moderately skillful.)
(But he doesn't seem to have professionally trained.)
(The best boxer among celebrities even virtually sparred with him.)
- Ahn Bo Hyun. - Ahn Bo Hyun. Remember his name.
I also...
- Bo Hyun will beat you up. - When I spar with someone...
- Do you want me to show you? - No.
You're making him look bad. He was a boxer for a long time.
- By the way... - Gosh.
- Move his jaw back. - It's not that.
I can do that. I can reshape his jawline.
- Whatever. - If I just hit him straight...
I can save a lot of money. It's good.
All around his face.
- If I hit his face repeatedly, - I'll have a normal face.
- his jawline will change. - Like this?
I think Hyuk can do that.
Right. I think Hyuk can do it better.
Just like last time...
- He can't beat Bo Hyun. - Let me finish.
- I mean... - He won a medal.
- He won a medal? - Yes.
But it was an amateur game...
Amateur boxing is...
different from what I do.
- This sounds fun. - It's different.
- You can't beat him. - I think it would be a big hit.
We can do a TV show with celebrities who learned boxing.
- Lee Gye In will join the show. - Lee Gye In.
Park Nam Hyun.
- And Kim Bo Sung. - Nam Hyun will beat them all up.
- Kim Bo Sung. - Park Nam Hyun?
- Gye In will want to join the show. - Nam Hyun will join the show.
- He played Jeol Bong. - Right.
- Lee Dong Jun too. - I can't say...
that I can defeat him.
I always respect athletes.
So I'm not saying I can win. However,
- I won't let him win easily. - Right.
- Anyway, that is... - I won't be humiliated.
the everlasting mystery.
- Which would win if they fight. - I'm curious about it too.
I have no idea.
Yi Kyung said...
that he thought that Shorry would be the weakest fighter...
among all the guests.
Did you say it?
- Shorry? - Me?
- That's unexpected. - I saw him working out,
- and I was surprised. - No.
- His hairstyle... - That's right.
helps him avoid punches.
- Honestly... - It's easy to punch his head.
No. You're wrong.
It's easy?
It's hard to hit?
- I think it's easy. - With a knuckle?
You are tempted to hit the vulnerable spot, right?
- The vulnerable spot? - When you fight with a tall man.
Of course. I always... I wouldn't miss a chance.
I was talking about this area.
- Testicles? - Yes.
As long as I get a chance.
- My goodness. - What?
Who would give you such a chance?
That's not good.
He's doing perfectly.
That's a perfect height to hit the testicles.
Hit his testicles.
- That's a perfect height. - He's impeccable.
- He's hitting the area. - That hurts.
- Hey. - My gosh.
- That's intimidating. - That hurts.
Jong Kook would be knocked down.
- Like this. - Oh, my.
That's enough to knock him down, right?
- He moved fast. - I taught him a little.
- I taught him. - Did you?
Shorry's father...
His father used to be a bodybuilder.
(Showing off his muscles)
He has a muscular body.
He has a muscular body when he doesn't even work out.
Did you put some pads under your shirt?
- No. - He has big muscles.
- He has a muscular body. - Take your shirt off.
Take it off.
His shirt looks weird.
- Why? - His shirt looks weird.
He has a muscular body.
- Shorry has a nice body. - I think...
His shirt makes him look more muscular.
- No. - It doesn't make a big difference.
- He really has big muscles. - He does?
- But I... - Show him.
Take your shirt off.
Hip hop style.
- Why am I doing this? - He has a muscular body.
I didn't know I would take my shirt off here.
- He looks okay. - He's cool.
He has firm muscles.
- Strike a pose. - Carlos.
(Here comes a bodybuilder.)
Show us your back too.
His father was a bodybuilder.
That's good. That's really good.
- He learned from his father. - That's good.
He's good at it.
- Hello. - Hello.
He's good at it.
- He looks like Mexican. - That's right.
It's good to see you, my friend.
He's so funny.
(Shorry reacts to every comment in a funny way.)
Shorry meets Tae Hyun at least twice a year.
- No matter what? - Once or twice a year,
I went to see him.
Jong Kook holds a concert...
once a year.
And I see Tae Hyun at his concert every year.
- That's how I meet him. - I was a guest singer.
He put on his mask.
The one he wore in "Highway Star"?
He wore the mask from "Highway Star".
You can see his mask from "Highway Star" at my concert.
- Sometimes... - He didn't stop...
He helps Jong Kook a lot.
- Do you sing in the mask? - I asked him...
to prepare the mask for my concert last time.
Since "King of Mask Singer" is very popular,
he asked me to prepare a mask from the show.
While singing in the mask,
he takes off the mask, and you see the "Highway Star" mask.
Just like the Chinese opera where they change the faces.
Face-changing operas.
(Unexpected face-changing performance)
He asked me to prepare it.
He wore that mask at my concert.
I keep my mask from the movie in my car.
I think...
he looks forward to it.
At his concert?
I couldn't hear anything because I was wearing two masks.
I think he likes it.
We help each other out like this.
They're such loyal friends.
When he goes to the wrap-up party after finishing filming his movie,
- he always invites me. - Of course.
- He invites me to the party. - As a guest singer.
- He's like a guest singer. - I'm like a guest singer.
At a karaoke?
- He walks in... - I arrive in the karaoke room.
He looks four songs before I arrive.
And he waits for me outside of the room.
He stops me from entering. I ask why.
He tells me to wait, so I wait while holding a mic.
He introduces me and plays the music.
- I start singing. - "One Man".
- What's really funny... - "One Man".
There is a man
What's really funny...
When I finish singing,
I leave the room without saying goodbye.
You leave right away.
- He doesn't drink. - They can't even offer a drink.
He doesn't even introduce me to anyone there.
I just sing and leave.
- I think that's better. - Right.
I sing at the wrap-up party of every movie he films.
Do you also invite Hong Kyung Min?
No, just him.
Kyung Min can't surprise people like he does.
He can do this dance.
It's better for him to drink with us from the beginning.
- That's better. - I bet he sings "One Man".
- That's right. - "One Man".
After he leaves the karaoke room without even looking back,
everyone asks me if he really left.
"Did he actually leave?"
"Could he be back later?"
I tell them he won't.
(What a cool way to help out a friend.)
Jong Kook,
can you bring Gu Ra out of his midlife crisis with a single blow?
- With a single blow? - Like this?
- Does it really mean a punch? - No.
- I know... - He can hit Gu Ra's heart hard.
I know how to snap out of it... I would've said if I was younger,
"You just need a punch."
(Midlife crisis)
- I'm in my 50s now. - Exactly.
Men go through a midlife crisis in their 50s or 60s.
Why would you hit a middle-aged man?
- When I was younger... - I wondered if he meant that.
- Gosh. Seriously. - No. That's not what he meant.
- I'm disappointed. - If I was younger.
- He would've said it. - I wasn't going to say it.
If he's going through a midlife crisis,
I'm confident I can help him snap out of it.
- How? - If you work out...
- Especially lower body workouts... - I see.
- help to increase testosterone. - That's right.
It increases rapidly.
I walked 40 minutes before I came here.
- I try to exercise every day. - Instead of walking,
- do some lower body workouts... - Such as squats.
- that can stimulate your body. - I understand.
(Lower body workouts help to beat the midlife crisis.)
- Does it also strengthen your mind? - Yes, it does.
How Jong Kook speaks...
tells me which area he worked out earlier today.
There are days when Jong Kook seems so happy.
- He worked out his lower body. - He worked out a lot.
If he eats bread or snacks,
that means he worked out his chest and shoulders.
- So I say, - His chest and shoulders?
"You look so happy today. Was today a leg day?"
"Yes. It was a leg day."
(Happy)
- He seems unusually happy. - Oh, my.
It's because...
I blindly believed it back then.
- Leg workouts? - Men...
Not long ago, I checked...
- the number. - Your testosterone level?
- Your testosterone level? - Yes.
- Lower body workouts? - Totally.
- That's amazing. - It's been known for a long time.
The lower body is important for men.
- His legs are incredible. - Right.
When short people work out their lower bodies a lot,
- it feels like they get shorter. - Yes.
- Because the legs are so firm... - It feels like you collapsed.
- It feels like... - That's right.
you got even shorter.
We do look shorter with thicker legs.
- That's right. - Yes.
After working out the back, I feel like I got taller.
When you work out your back...
- When you stretch out your arms? - I pull my body from above.
When I work out my legs, I feel like I'm getting shorter.
I get taller when I'm work out my back.
You feel like you got taller after doing this.
- Have you tried an inversion table? - It's amazing.
After using it,
I feel so good.
I feel like I got taller.
It makes me feel like my hair grew longer too.
(Another effect of an inversion table)
You are watching...
a high-end music program, Radio Star, with Jong Kook...
and his three friends who mooch off of him.
Today's theme is "What's Wrong, Jong Kook?" Let's begin.
Jong Kook and Yi Kyung are in the same soccer team.
So many celebrities play soccer these days.
To be honest, I was taken aback...
because I don't know...
anything about Yi Kyung.
Until today?
- In the past. - I don't know him well.
I didn't know him before he joined our team either.
And in fact, it hasn't been long since he joined our team.
- However, - I'm not exactly his teammate.
What he means...
He's not a regular member.
- When we don't have enough players, - I'm like a guest player.
- some people play in our team. - Oh, I see.
My friend brought him as our guest player.
But after that, he came every week.
One day, I said...
that he should pay the membership fee.
For a guest player,
he was there every week.
The moment I talked about fees...
- Did he stop coming? - He stopped coming.
(The moment he talked about fees, he stopped coming.)
- Last week... - Was it intentional?
What was that?
I said,
"He doesn't seem like he is struggling financially."
Perhaps he leaves every team that way.
He leaves when the talk of fees comes up.
The fees are 30 dollars.
This is a recent event. I can explain.
I am involved...
with five soccer teams.
- Really? - I have one for every weekday.
He is involved with multiple soccer teams.
There is a team I run.
- Really? - Really?
- Is there a team you run? - I...
Do you pay fees for any one of them?
He pays fees for those teams.
I have one for every weekday.
I don't know when I will be free,
but I want to play soccer if I am free.
I followed a friend of mine...
to Jong Kook's soccer team and played hard.
He told me that he likes my passion.
He said I am like Yunho.
He praised me highly.
Afterward, he bought me a drink.
Then on the day I was supposed to go...
to the soccer team,
the evening shoot changed to afternoon shoot.
So I couldn't go after the talk of fees came up.
Who is in the team? Is Tak Jae Hoon in the club?
- No. - He isn't in the team.
Annoyance flitted across his face.
There must be drama.
Did you see that?
I saw annoyance.
There must be drama.
There must be drama between him and Tak Jae Hoon.
- Tell me. - What is it?
- Tell me. - I saw annoyance.
- There must be a drama. - There are a few people...
who joined my team to avoid Tak Jae Hoon.
- Lee Hyun Do. - He is a member.
Lee Su Geun. Su Geun is a member.
Hold on.
- Is Su Geun in your team? - Su Geun is close...
- to Jae Hoon. - Seriously.
- He is committed to my team. - Really?
Is it okay for this information to get out?
Did Su Geun join your soccer team to avoid Jae Hoon?
I don't know the details.
Annoyance flitted across his face for 0.1 seconds.
Seriously, I saw...
the precise moment...
he scowled.
(I saw the precise moment he scowled.)
I have a lot of interest in Tak Jae Hoon.
I have no interest in him.
He hasn't mistreated me.
But he has scolded...
- other members of my team. - No, no.
Between you and Jae Hoon,
who is better at soccer?
There are ups and downs.
You are in a defensive position.
- Me? - I all an all-around player.
- He is a midfielder. - He is in an attacking position.
I change positions.
I can defend and attack.
- You can do both. - You are good at soccer.
I like to play soccer.
I like to burn my energy.
I am like that.
He plays very passionately.
I was surprised.
I didn't complain when he slammed into me,
but it felt like getting hit by a car.
- I see. - Seriously.
When he slams into me,
I feel like I am getting hit by a bison.
He is like a bulldozer.
Men should crash into each other...
when they work out.
I think he worked out his lower body that day.
(He was full of testosterone.)
It seems like Yi Kyung is...
objective.
He said Jong Kook isn't the ace member of the team.
(Yi Kyung said Jong Kook isn't the ace member of the team.)
What I say...
could end the team.
- It's okay. - It's okay.
That kind of a team should disappear.
- That's right. - That's right.
You know what the world is like these days.
Firstly, every member...
Speak comfortably.
Jong Kook is the captain or the club owner.
- That's right. The club owner... - The club owner.
or the founder.
- I am a player-coach. - The club owner.
Who is the ace member in terms of soccer skills?
- Su Geun. - Su Geun.
He directs the team.
He is a maestro.
- He is a maestro. - If an older member takes the lead,
I take a step back.
We should check if Yi Kyung's words are true.
It could be a subjective view.
- Shorry. - Yes?
Between Su Geun and Jong Kook,
who is a better player?
- I think... - Do you play soccer?
- Me? I used to be on another team. - He plays basketball.
- However, I prefer... - He prefers basketball.
- basketball. - Can you play basketball?
Of course I can.
(He stands up without hesitation and dribbles.)
- That's great. - He is good at basketball.
- He is good. - Can you dunk a basketball?
Show us the euro step.
1, 2.
(The euro step)
He is good.
Step back.
Shadowboxing.
(He ends the show with shadowboxing.)
You know the basic techniques of basketball.
On social media,
Se Yoon's bravery test which was done before Jong Kook...
became popular.
Since Jong Kook has an image of a tough man,
I wanted to film a video of myself acting flippantly before him.
He was okay with it,
so we filmed the video.
It became a hit.
It even got featured on a foreign humor website.
- It got featured. - That's right.
Tell us about the video.
- When I was doing something... - I did this.
- That's what you did. - That's right.
That's right.
That's what you did.
(Jong Kook had to hold back his anger.)
- That's what you did. - I can't laugh.
- I can't laugh. - His tongue is on another level.
Seriously.
- Then I did this with my butt. - That's what you did.
I see.
(Holding himself back)
I made those videos with people who have a tough image...
like Jong Kook, Kang Ho Dong,
Kim Dong Hyun,
- and Lee Dong Jun. - Lee Dong Jun.
He is a former taekwondo athlete.
- Lee Dong Jun was really scary. - Lee Dong Jun.
It was planned ahead, but the video ends with him...
picking up a brick.
I was worried that he would become absorbed.
He could become absorbed.
- He could become absorbed. - That's right.
Jong Kook gave me a similar idea for a video...
- which became a hit. - What was it?
I wanted to film a video at a barbecue restaurant.
Jong Kook doesn't eat a lot of meat...
- to stay fit. - I see.
I hold up meat and do this.
(Laughing)
- I do that. - I don't react at first.
In the last scene...
I pretend not to notice.
In the last scene, I grab a bottle.
The video ends with that scene.
That's how the video goes.
(Grabbing)
(His eyes shift.)
You prepared a bravery test that features one of the MCs.
Really?
Among the MCs, Gu Ra is suitable.
- He has a tough image. - These videos are the funniest...
when I use people with a tough image.
- That's Gu Ra. - That's right.
I asked the scriptwriters in advance...
and brought my cell phone.
- Film a video with Gu Ra. - May I film a video?
- I don't mind. - You could upload it.
- You won't touch my body, right? - What?
- He won't touch your body. - He won't touch your body.
- That's why... - Then I will be fine.
I want to ask you something.
I won't mind even if you poop in front of me.
- That's a good idea. - Do you think that's a good idea?
(I can't believe you.)
- You could poop here. - What do you want to ask?
I want to ask you something. Until now,
I haven't touched people in the video.
- Will it be different? - Would it be okay if I touch you?
Well, it would be okay.
Should we give them some space?
Would it be okay if I touch your chin?
Will you touch me like this?
I will keep it light.
You can go ahead.
Don't annoy him.
I won't be annoyed.
I need to touch your chin.
Your chin.
You won't punch me, will you?
- You won't punch me, will you? - No, I won't.
- He is sensitive about that. - He is scared of getting punched.
- Please film it for me. - Okay.
Look at me. This is a practice round.
Is this a practice round?
- Don't laugh. - I am good at that.
- I will never laugh. - He won't laugh.
- Cue. - I will never laugh.
I am always sad.
When should we start? Should we start now?
- In 1, 2, 3. - Do you have the camera ready?
- Hold on. - Do you have the camera ready?
- Shorry, are you ready? - Yes.
Okay.
(He flicks out his tongue.)
(He slaps Gu Ra's chin.)
(Shaking)
He is slapping Gu Ra's chin.
(He slaps to a rhythm.)
(We will, we will)
(Chin you)
Don't laugh!
You know,
it put me in a foul mood.
It wasn't funny.
(He doesn't care it was for a variety show.)
I can't believe he used me like this.
- For goodness' sake. - I am sorry.
- No, no. - You shouldn't have laughed.
It wasn't funny.
"Do I really need to participate in something like this?"
I had that thought.
- Do you think it's funny? - I love it.
All right. However...
- Did you zoom in? - Of course I did.
- Of course I did. - Gu Ra,
- check out the video. - I cut off the video...
when everyone started talking.
Gu Ra, do you know how happy these videos make me?
- Sure. - Check it out.
I am a depressed man.
This one is funny because Gu Ra bust out laughing.
It was a strange feeling.
Seriously.
(Se Yoon is dying of laughter.)
Let me see.
(He told me I could slap his chin.)
(Bravery test)
- Hold on. - My goodness.
- I have a suggestion. - Okay.
Why doesn't Shorry do this to Jong Kook?
- Go ahead. - Thank...
- Would you give me the opportunity? - Yes, go ahead.
- Yes! - Go ahead.
I know you want to do it.
You want to do it, right?
- I knew it. - Sit here.
I will sit here.
I should flick out my tongue, right?
- That's right. - That's a must.
Make it as annoying as possible.
- You know what to do. - All right.
- Hold on. - Let's go.
- Is the camera ready? - Yes, it is.
(This is his chance.)
- Hold on. - Let's go.
- Is the camera ready? - Yes, it is.
- Is the camera ready? - Yes.
(He acts flippantly.)
(Jong Kook's facial muscles twitch.)
That's good. That's good.
Keep going. Make it funnier.
- That's good. - There you go.
Stop it.
Stop it. Stop it.
(He gets apprehended.)
(He gets dragged away.)
(He comes back to his senses.)
That was good. That was good.
(I am sorry I couldn't save you.)
(Run away, Shorry.)
(Thank you for loving the bravery tests.)
I am sorry.
You need the HD video, right? Should I send an email?
- Hold on. - Excuse me.
Excuse me. Let's focus on the shoot. For goodness' sake.
I sent it. I sent it.
You should film this kind of video with your wife, Jeon Mi Ra.
Gosh, this happens every day.
You should go home late and tease her.
Try doing this.
- Imitate Maria Sharapova. - Do that to your wife.
- Imitate Maria Sharapova. - It will be fun.
You should make videos at home.
(He might get kicked out of the house.)
Shorry, can you imitate Jong Kook?
- Can I imitate him? - Yes.
Of course I can.
I can imitate that boy.
I am sorry.
I can imitate Jong Kook.
"I can imitate that boy."
- Why did you call me "That boy"? - He must have said it often.
It's a habit, right?
- It's a habit, right? - He must have said it often.
- That must be how he calls you. - Imitate Jong Kook.
- You can imitate Jong Kook. - Yes.
- I have never shown it anywhere. - Can you do it?
Of course.
- I will keep it short. - I bet he can't do it.
(Staring)
- Don't stare at me like that. - I am simply looking.
- That's right. - It's like watching a TV.
(There is a man)
(Lilting)
You just need to shape it up.
- It isn't half bad. - You know how to do it right.
(There is a tough man)
(He is at a gym)
Stop it. Watch yourself.
- Good job. - It wasn't half bad.
He is a pocket boy.
He is really cute.
Seriously.
Jong Kook is known for his workouts.
Shorry said Jong Kook's workouts are close to tortures.
They are half tortures.
There are so many people who gave up.
When I introduce people to Jong Kook,
they work out with him once.
Then they don't answer my calls.
Once they experience the workout,
- they don't go again. - Once they experience it,
they don't have the energy to step on the accelerator.
(Welcome to the netherworld.)
When I go to the gym at 4am, I expect it to be empty.
He is doing this by himself.
My goodness.
- Seriously. - "In order to see you,"
"I was doing this for two hours."
- I bet you were startled. - I thought he was a ghost.
Back in the days, I was close...
to Son Heung Min.
He said he will come and work out with me.
I said, "That would be great!"
Heung Min came over.
I was in no position to do that,
but I couldn't stop giving him advice.
- You did that to Son Heung Min. - That's right.
"You should work out your back."
It could be really bad if you teach him wrong information.
In the Premier League, wrestling for the ball is the key.
How could you give him advice on the Premier League...
when you play futsal in Yongsan?
"Look at Cristiano Ronaldo. He has a nice back."
"His speed comes from his back."
"Let's work out our backs today."
We worked out our backs for two hours.
Doesn't speed come from your feet?
It comes from your feet.
He probably wanted to rest in Korea.
I made him work out for two hours straight.
He didn't call me afterward.
Park Ji Sung and Park Tae Hwan...
suffered the same thing.
My goodness.
Why did you feel the need to coach the best athletes?
Ji Sung wanted to work out with me,
so I took him to a gym.
Who are you to take him to a gym?
(My goodness.)
What are you talking about?
- Seriously. - What are you talking about?
- He just tagged along with you. - He doesn't work out much.
Park Ji Sung and Son Heung Min.
He doesn't work out much.
When Tae Hwan visited "Running Man",
I gave him a lot of orders.
"When you exercise,"
"you need to create a synergy."
- Those people are... - He must have said,
"I heard something strange on a variety show."
(Kim Jong Kook, the ghost of the gym)
(Park Tae Hwan fell out of touch as well.)
Isn't it hard on you as well?
I will be honest with you.
People think I am lying when I say this,
but I laugh while I work out.
It gives you pleasure.
You scare me.
He is the ghost of the gym.
- He is the ghost of the gym. - At 3am, I hear...
(Laughing)
- Seriously. - I don't do that.
- He is the ghost of the gym. - I don't do that.
I don't do that.
I bet he does that.
(You can find happiness at the gym at 3am.)
"I am so happy. I am so happy."
- It's just that... - Working out makes him happy.
On Christmas, he posted a photo...
on SNS.
He had made a Christmas tree out of a fitness equipment.
That's right.
- Seriously. - He is addicted.
(Have a healthy Christmas.)
DinDin gave us a tipoff...
on Jong Kook.
He says useless things.
- It's nothing bad. - He hangs out with you a lot...
since he is in your soccer team.
He comes to play often. He is a diligent man.
- What did he say? - "Whether it rains or snows,"
"Jong Kook will play soccer..."
"unless the war breaks out."
- That's right. - "If I can't go to play soccer,"
"he calls me weak..."
"and reproaches me."
When you play soccer, you always say,
"Don't save up your energy."
"Why would you save it up?"
- "Don't save up your energy." - "Why would you save it up?"
"How else will you use it?" I always say that.
- I have a question. - Okay.
After I joined your soccer team,
you came to see me in a positive light...
because I play diligently, right?
That's right. I like diligent men.
I like people who don't miss a meeting.
I haven't missed a single day of school in 12 years.
- When I was little... - Did you beat up kids after school?
I bet his classmates were horrified.
"He won't even miss a day of school!"
"I can't believe him!"
He watched them until the end of the sixth period.
He watched them...
- until the end of the sixth period. - I bet it was the worst.
Seriously.
"Teacher, please don't end the class."
(It's entertaining to make fun of Jong Kook.)
Shorry has a nice body.
He has a nice upper body.
- He has pride in arm wrestling. - That's right.
Today,
you will do something you have always wanted to do.
- You will challenge Jong Kook. - Really?
- Will you challenge Jong Kook? - In arm wrestling?
That's incredible.
Is arm wrestling your specialty?
Ever since I was little, I was known for my strength.
Will the face-off happen today?
- He might win. - That's right.
We don't know who will win.
Can I film the arm wrestling match?
Of course.
You are addicted to social media.
If Shorry wins, spread the video.
- This is quality content. - That's right.
This is like a gold mine.
All right.
- Give it your best. - That's right.
I never thought he would backstab me like this.
- Look at his arms. - He isn't an easy opponent.
You have nothing to lose.
(Grabbing)
You can lose.
If you lose, we will edit this part out.
This part will only air if you win.
If you lose, we will edit this part out, okay?
- You have nothing to lose. - That's right.
- That's right. - Jong Kook, it's an honor.
Hold on. Hold on.
- I am so nervous. - Shorry will be hard to beat.
- Really? - He will be hard to beat.
- Shorry will be hard to beat. - Shorry.
- You should hold the upper part. - That's right.
- Okay. - Listen, Shorry.
Everyone is rooting for you.
You know that, right?
- That's right. - Okay.
Let's go.
Let's go on the count of three.
Jong Kook is flexing.
You know it doesn't look cool, don't you?
Shorry isn't flexing.
- He is worried. - You are worried you will lose.
Shorry, you will win.
I am not worried, but I am taking precautions.
All right.
Hold on.
(Time out.)
He is nervous. Shorry, he is nervous.
He is worried.
He is nervous. He is nervous.
- Hold on. - This is so much fun.
This is fun, right?
- All right. - This is good.
- Gosh, he is strong. - All right.
All right.
In 1, 2, 3.
(The match begins.)
(Will Shorry lose?)
Shorry! Shorry!
Shorry! Shorry! Shorry! Shorry!
(Excited and shocked)
(My goodness)
(Pocket Boy, show us your strength.)
- His arm slipped! - He will win!
(Shorry is almost lying down.)
- Hold on. - What?
Shorry.
- Shorry. - What?
You are close to winning.
You are close to winning. You are close to winning.
You are close to winning.
He is a piece of cake!
- You saw that, right? - Jong Kook's arm went over.
(Shorry's arm slipped.)
- He did it on purpose. - No.
Shorry won.
- That's nonsense. - Don't make it slip this time.
- What are you talking about? - Let's have another round.
- Put it here. - His arm was over here.
- Put it here. - Yi Kyung, you saw it.
His arm was over here.
- You should be fair. - Win!
- Win! - Hold on.
I will hold it here.
All right.
- I used too much strength, but... - Shorry.
I am right next to you.
Let's do this.
- Shorry. - Don't climb on the table.
- Shorry. - If you lose,
I can't upload this video.
All right! Let's go!
- My wrist is twisted. - Shorry.
- All right, Shorry. - Get ready.
(Jong Kook, here I come.)
(Come on.)
Get ready.
Set, go.
Shorry! Shorry!
Shorry, hang in there!
(This is his desperate struggle.)
Shorry.
(Screaming)
- It's over. His hand went over. - There you go.
His hand went over.
- It's over now. - It's over.
- No, no, no. - I know once I grab his hand.
- Shorry, you're still strong. - No.
- Shorry is strong. - He's really strong.
He is strong, but not enough to beat me.
- You were strong. - All right.
- You're a true winner. - Of course.
- You're a true winner. - That's right.
- You're a true winner. - A true winner?
(The coach comforts the player. The player comforts the addict.)
- Thank you. - You're just not as popular.
(Is Gu Ra comforting him or disrespecting him?)
My popularity can't beat his.
Shorry is pretty strong.
- He's strong. - He's good.
This coup didn't pan out well.
Coup d'etat.
(Darn it, you popularity.)
(Feeling smug)
- Yi Kyung. - Yes.
We heard that you are quite the chatterbox.
You've talked for eight hours straight one time?
- He likes to talk. - I see.
- You two can't get along then. - Listen.
- He's sizing you up. - You know that already?
- I like chatting too. - Right.
Usually, I talk to Choi Daniel.
We've never had drinks together.
When we go to a cafe, we eat there.
- We drink tea and coffee. - You drink tea there.
- Just the 2 of you? - Yes, just the 2 of us.
- Isn't that a bit awkward? - We do that at one place
(He's quite a talker too.)
But Jong Kook is known to talk a lot too.
Talking for seven hours straight is a piece of cake to you.
I like talking.
- I talk to 5 to 6 guys. - Right.
- You'd change them up? - They have to listen intently.
Since it lasts a long time,
- I rotate my conversation partners. - They listen intently.
If they have to leave for work, I'd have someone else to talk to.
That's why older guys don't hang out with you.
I hang out with older guys time to time.
I would talk to them.
If I don't like my friend's outfit,
I go into a clothing store and buy him clothes.
- You take them shopping? - Yes, I take them shopping.
"Let's go."
- We were at Apgujeong. - You...
Celebrities don't act like that.
That's how thugs behave.
Buy clothes and such.
That's what thugs do.
- He's living vicariously. - Exactly.
(Hey! Choose whatever you want.)
You're just not dressed like one.
You don't wear their weird outfits, but you're acting like a thug.
We'd be hanging out together.
We would go and shop for clothes.
And we would come back to a coffee shop.
We would continue talking at the coffee shop then.
Mr. Cha told us...
that Jang Hyuk and Jong Kook were the stingiest.
- Both of them are stingy. - Right.
- They're about the same. - They don't pay for drinks.
- Actually, - He doesn't drink, you know.
I spend money.
I spend a lot of money.
I guess you don't want to...
- lose out to him. - I... No, no.
- That's why I... - You don't want to lose to anyone.
- On TV... - That's why...
people say that you and Hyuk are really stingy.
- Now, I go out. - Okay.
After I started hanging out with more people,
I spend money on others. When I do that,
people seem to like it which makes me happy.
I became to enjoy that.
- After every soccer match, - Okay.
he would take...
all of those players to a convenience store to buy drinks.
- He's just buying beverages. - If he doesn't see them often...
- He treats everyone. - Seriously.
He tells us to choose anything. There would be about 14 guys.
"Go raid the convenience store."
I told them to choose anything they wanted,
but one of them tried to get e-cigarettes.
- I told him he couldn't get that. - That's a lot of money.
- I said no to the e-cigarettes. - Is that so?
- What? Why did you snicker? - What?
It's nothing. I'm relieved.
- Why? - He's gotten better.
(He doesn't mean any of it.)
Yi Kyung is unexpectedly stingy too.
You said that you barely have anything in your fridge.
You'd know if you've starred in dramas or films.
We'd get sponsored products.
I tell them and take them to my house.
- I eat the sausages at home. - That's great.
- I tend to take them home. - You'd take things like this?
- That's a good habit. - You'd take something like this?
- I give some to my sister too. - "A good habit"?
- That's great. - When I'm at home, I wear a vest...
- instead of turning on the heat. - Of course.
I don't run it for the living room. I only run it for my room.
- I can run it separately. - Let me explain.
- That's better. - I don't force myself to do this.
It's just part of my living habit.
- Everyone is very frugal. - That's a good thing.
- As for home appliances, - Of course.
the moment I buy them, they become used.
I'd rather buy a used one...
and buy a better one with the leftover money. I'd switch them.
- That's why Yi Kyung's friends... - He'd get along with Jong Kook.
give him a lot of presents.
- I see. - They give you presents.
That was when I was moving.
Minho from SHINee...
and I had gotten close after starring in a drama together.
I just mentioned it to him.
- That you were moving? - I told him I was moving...
and to come over to my place once.
That's how people get presents from their friends.
Minho bought me a TV.
He bought me a big one.
- A long time ago, when Tae Hyun... - Is this a battle?
- was moving to a new house, - Okay,
- I bought him a new refrigerator. - A refrigerator?
- Why do you say I'm stingy? - I know, right?
I bought him that refrigerator when things were hard for me.
- That's a hard thing to do. - Right.
- You should know that. - Come on.
I wanted to get that from Jong Kook no matter what.
(Feeling desperate)
Daniel bought me a washing machine.
- Gosh, Yi Kyung. - That's great.
- He got a lot of presents. - Jung Hwan...
gave me professional soccer cleats.
- He has a weird spell over people. - My gosh.
- I guess people want to help you. - There must be something about him.
- The spell makes them want to help. - Right.
- But he's saving up diligently. - Gosh, cleats?
- That's a good way of saving money. - He's just like Jong Kook.
I...
Jong Kook saves a lot.
That's why he has so much money.
- Right. Tae Hyun told us about it. - Among my friends,
- Jong Kook and Hyuk has the most. - Right.
I heard him say that several times now.
- No. - What's your main investment?
- Jong Kook. - Me?
Personally,
- I don't know much about it. - I've never seen him spend money.
- I just... - Real estate?
keep it at home.
(That's simple.)
Do you have gold bars or something?
- You're a total thug. - I mean...
(Teasing)
Listen.
- My goodness. - I save up money at a bank.
You don't make aggressive investments.
- Do you just save money? - Right.
- You don't buy stocks, do you? - I don't do that.
- You just pile it up. - You just save money.
- That's what I do. - You don't do stocks.
You don't buy bitcoin, do you?
- Never. - Of course, not.
- I hate fake things. - I see.
- I don't like things I can't see. - You're doing it right.
Yi Kyung, did you only receive presents? Have you given a present?
- Since I get a lot of presents... - I told him to pay the club fee.
- Earlier, - I can pay that.
he mentioned in the waiting room that he was moving.
- He said that if I wanted... - Right.
- workout machines or sofa. - Right, right.
I'm about to move to another house soon.
Until when will we talk about his moving?
How could moving to a new house take this long?
- He'd go for the presents. - What is it?
Why do you move so often?
- No, no. - Does he scam people with moving?
(He's just kidding.)
I don't think he's moving until he buys a house.
- He moves until he gets furniture. - No, no.
- Sometimes, they move at night. - What is this?
- No, no. - Are you a professional mover?
Since I rent the place,
I don't renew my contract after two years.
- I tend to move after the lease. - You move then.
- You gain a lot from moving. - No, no.
Yi Kyung, the Mover.
(Should he be called the Mover?)
Yi Kyung, the passcode to your house isn't a secret.
A lot of people know the passcode.
- A lot of people know my passcode. - People come and go.
I know what he means.
- It's because... - That's dangerous.
it's been 14 years...
- since I started living alone. - That's a long time.
I moved out when I was 18.
- You moved out when you were young. - Because of that,
when I didn't have money, my friends...
bought me a lot of meals.
And they helped me a lot.
- Is that why? - That's why.
- They come over. - They come hang out at my place.
I'm just providing my place.
I went to my son's house the other day.
- You should be careful. - I went to his place.
- You must be careful. - You should be careful.
When I went to his house,
- I saw a pair of shoes. - You didn't recognize the shoes.
- The pair was 235mm. - My goodness.
(It has to be a woman's pair.)
- You should've left then. - You should've left.
"What should I do?"
When I called his name,
- You shouldn't have called him. - I found out it belonged to...
one of his friends who had the smallest feet.
(He got the wrong idea.)
When I called his name,
- I found out it was his friend's. - Why...
- His friend was short. - You shouldn't have called him.
- Calling his name was weird. - No, it's not that. Listen.
I told him I was coming,
- but he overslept. - You told him you were coming.
I might have been traumatized then.
The thought that I might see him with someone one day...
- prevents me barging in there. - You should have rung the bell.
- No, he should've texted his son. - I did ring the bell.
- I rang the bell, - You did.
but I went in because he didn't respond.
You shouldn't have gone in if he didn't respond.
I already went in. What am I supposed to do?
(He's regretting it.)
(Dong Hyun, I'm sorry about that day.)
- Se Yoon, recently, - Yes?
your wife was on a TV show.
- Okay. - Was there a reason behind it?
You're uploading a lot of photos about your family on social media.
I think it started two years ago.
(Se Yoon's family looks affectionate.)
(A scene from a shocking horror movie, "The Weekend")
(Min Ha, whom takes after Se Yoon, has gone viral on social media.)
(He's having fun with his son like they're good buddies.)
You realized how important family is, right?
- I think so. - That's what I thought.
- But it looks a bit artificial. - No, no.
- Don't you agree? - It's fun.
To be honest, 80 percent is to polish up my reputation.
(He's joking.)
But in the beginning of my marriage,
- I was immature. - Right.
My wife...
doesn't say anything when I go on a trip with my friends...
or when I hang out with my friends.
But strangely,
I can't have fun without worries or feeling guilty.
- You can't have fun. - I can't have fun.
- But I can have fun with my family. - I get it.
- I wasn't anxious with my family. - I said this a long time ago.
It's no fun when you spend time with your family.
But you'd feel at ease. That's all.
- I just chose to be at ease. - That's all it is.
- When I did that, - That's it.
- I found a way to have fun. - That's right.
Others tell me that I'm creative.
I thought that I could use my creativity on my family.
I try to make the time we spend together...
- You'd upload those photos. - more meaningful.
That works.
Why do you always upload your son eating food?
- So... - And it's a close-up shot too.
When I watch him eat at night,
it makes me wonder if other kids eat as much as my son.
- I can tell he enjoys the food. - It feels great to see him eat.
Right, it feels great.
But if he's in fourth grade,
- isn't making videos uncomfortable? - Yes, that's right.
When I take videos or upload them on my social media,
- He should ask his son. - I get his permission first.
I got rid of all the videos I uploaded with his permission.
That's why the downside is...
I'd ask if I can take a video and he'd say yes.
But when I start filming,
he'd be more energetic.
Like this?
He's exaggerating.
(Glancing)
- He used to eat with gusto before. - He's cute.
My followers might not know this.
- You'd know since you're his dad. - You'd know.
As a guy who became a celerity first...
(I compliment my son as his senior celebrity.)
- His son is having fun with it. - His son is very cute.
Do you hold talk shows with your son every night?
It's one of my happiest moments in my life these days.
As a way to get him to sleep early,
I started off by telling him funny stories while lying down.
I do it almost every day. If I'm home before he goes to bed,
I tell him 2 to 3 entertaining stories while he lies down.
That gives me the greatest joy, and my son is really enjoying it.
When I go home a little late,
I'd open the door of his room.
- He waits for you. - He'd get up right away.
He'd tell me that he'd been waiting and ask me to tell him stories.
- That makes me so happy. - My gosh.
Se Yoon, hasn't it been over 10 years since your marriage?
This year is our 10th anniversary.
Before then, you didn't really talk about your married life.
- Gosh, this is a nice change. - He loves his family very much.
- It's great. - Am I making a good image now?
(He's somewhere between a comedian and dad.)
- His talk about his child is nice. - Seriously.
I suppose you don't spend that much time...
with Yoo Sang Moo and Jang Dong Min.
- Who? - Yoo Sang Moo and Jang Dong Min.
Who?
I get your point.
(You mean those guys?)
- I get whom you're talking about. - Yes, those guys.
- Yes, I'm talking about those guys. - I see.
I look them up like everyone else.
(To see what they're up to.)
- I'm kidding. - This is...
We still keep in touch and hang out.
(He is indeed a comedian to the bones.)
Yi Kyung, have you gotten a Brazilian waxing...
for a drama?
- "Welcome to Waikiki". - That's not easy.
- Your job is hard. - Seriously.
I had a minor role.
- My role was a swimmer. - Okay.
The swimmer in the drama shaves all of his body hair...
to show how determine he is.
- I had to actually film that. - That's right.
We filmed the scene with my body hair.
- A professional esthetician came. - My goodness.
- Really? - I got my whole body waxed.
Afterward, I went to film the scene in the swimming pool.
I did get my whole body waxed in real life.
When I had to get a herniotomy, I heard that...
- Oh, right. - they shave me with a razor.
That's why I just did it myself before going.
- I see. With a razor. - I hated that they used a razor.
- Did you get it waxed? - Then...
- I did it myself. - Did you do it yourself?
Yes, I did it myself. It was a very clean job.
I didn't want to see it, but I happened to see it.
- Really? - Yes, I caught a glimpse of it.
You saw Jong Kook's?
- That must be cool though. - No, slightly above there.
- Right. I showed him. - He showed me a bit of it.
I showed him that I could do a clean job even if I did it myself.
- He did it himself. - Right.
He told me that it was a hard thing to do alone.
- He showed me a small part of it. - You two are very close.
(You two are very close.)
- I visited him in the hospital. - I see.
- Could you show me next time? - I want to try it too.
- I'll show you when I have time. - Right.
Yi Kyung, you've experienced a random assault?
- Really? - It was when I was young.
- Seriously? - Yes.
- I was 18 or 19 years old. - Okay.
- A passer-by just assaulted you? - When you were 18 or 19?
- For no reason? - I was just passing by.
(He was assaulted when he was just passing by.)
My friend and I were walking.
Three guys who got drunk...
- bumped into me when I moved away. - I know what you mean.
- They bumped into me. - They picked a fight with you.
I passed by after saying that I was sorry.
You apologized for that?
- Jong Kook doesn't understand. - "If that happened to me..."
- That's a great excuse for me. - Okay.
But you know what?
- They don't bother Jong Kook. - Right.
They don't make a mistake even when they drink that much.
- Seriously. - That's odd.
- Go on. - I felt something was off.
When I turned around,
- they were looking at me. - Was he right in front of you?
They were looking at me, and one of them came to me...
- and hit me. - Okay.
You know those marble chairs?
- I hit my head there and fainted. - My goodness.
- Really? - I fainted right away.
Actually, I don't even remember getting beaten up.
I was unconscious...
- for two days. - What?
- Do you suffer from aftereffects? - It was serious.
It was just like in the movies.
- When I opened my eyes, - Two days have passed?
- I saw the ceiling of the hospital. - Okay.
- My goodness, seriously? - I woke up for the second time,
Then, I saw the ceiling of my mother's car.
When I woke up for the third time, I was in my mother's house.
- Really? - I saw the ceiling of her house.
- That means you got discharged. - When I asked, it'd been two days.
I got stitches all over my face. You can still see those stitches.
They must have beaten you up when you collapsed.
- That's why I was all banged up. - Probably.
- So... - I have to get them at least once.
- just like my father suggested... - Okay.
Jong Kook, walk on some streets.
(He's tempted.)
Shorry, someone recently thought you were 14 years old?
Seriously? How old are you now?
- He's in his 30s. - Even after you got married?
- I'm 38 now. - Isn't he in his 40s now?
- It's a random inquiry about age. - Even after you got married?
- I went to the States. - They thought you were 14.
- Yes. - Did they think you were a boy?
- Are you a 14-year-old Mexican boy? - They didn't know him.
Someone came into our room to clean.
One of my friends asked the worker how old I looked.
- When he asked, - He was goofing around.
- the worker said 16. - 16. I see.
- I asked him how I could be 16. - You did that?
The worker said, "14"?
Usually, they raise the age.
I was expecting the number to go up.
- That's why I said, "Come on". - That's funny.
- It's funny. - "14?"
If you asked again, it would've gone down more.
- Exactly. - Come on.
He looks so young though.
- Are you a baby? - I bet he can't buy cigarettes.
You don't even have wrinkles.
- I don't? - No, you don't.
- He's 38 years old now. - He has great skin too.
By the way,
have you even been offered to play an 18-year-old kid?
- The offer was high school student. - He could do that.
- Was it recent? - That was for "The Good Thieves".
- You were a high school student? - Yes, yes.
Wasn't I great?
The principle is done for!
- Given his young looks, - I wore the school uniform.
he could join the "School" series for this year's season.
You know the "School" series?
- He can totally join the drama. - He can be the old-looking student.
You have to join the school as a freshman.
(You have to join the school as a freshman.)
Everyone, You are watching a high-end music program,
Radio Star.
We prepared this segment for those who go in circles.
"The Song That Could Have Been Mine, The Song That Could Have Been..."
- "Yours". - All right.
It's been a while since Jong Kook sang on TV.
(Which song did Jong Kook choose?)
("I Love You" by Cha Tae Hyun)
(Tae Hyun's wife wrote the lyrics for Tae Hyun's "I Love You".)
- That's a hard song. - Why are you singing my song?
Well...
- It was Tae Hyun's debut song. - That's right.
As for this song,
I recorded the guide track.
- Really? - Yes.
The song did better than I thought.
All right. Let's listen to Jong Kook's "I Love You".
Come up to the stage and do some dancing.
- It's doable. - Go dance with him.
It's empty to be there alone. Come up with me.
- You should stand behind me. - It's a joint performance.
- Gosh. - This is nice.
(They're coming up with the stage movement.)
- Before you know it, - Gosh.
that singer became over 40 years old.
- He does everything we ask of him. - 44.
44.
(Do you remember...)
(the Tae Hyun 18 years ago?)
(He didn't forget his dance routine.)
- Gosh, he's a dancing machine. - Out of my way.
(Showing perfect teamwork)
Kim Jong Kook!
(He doesn't remember from this point on.)
That's the dance for "Archive People".
(He remembers this part.)
(Feeling confident)
(He's engrossed in the memories from 2001.)
(We may bicker time to time.)
(But you know that we are close, right?)
(Even though we bicker all the time, I love you.)
(Strangely, both of them are doing their best.)
(Today, he's not in Hongcha, but in Kook Cha.)
(Sorry, Kyung Min.)
He's good.
(He does the highlight, the crane dance too.)
(The original singer is still excited after the 1st verse.)
It went like this. Thank you.
This is how the performance looked like.
He looked like a worker at a company, owned by a thug.
His boss was singing, and he was dancing for his boss.
You're making him into a thug to the end?
(You're making him into a thug to the end?)
- It's great to see you together. - I agree.
You may bicker and argue,
- Right. - but you two don't change.
(Best friends with an awesome chemistry)
Let's listen to the song Se Yoon chose this time.
What's going on?
("Love Is" by Turbo)
- What's going on? - Turbo's "Love Is".
- This is a great song. - It's Turbo's "Love Is".
Il Sang wrote the melody for this song.
Why did you choose this song?
First of all, it's my favorite song...
- by Turbo. - This is a great song.
- It's a great song. - And...
Turbo's songs used to challenge guys...
to hit the high notes.
- The key is high. - It's hard to hit those notes.
What does 3 plus 3 equals 0 mean?
Back then, the required years of military service was three years.
After loving someone one-sidedly for three years,
and serving in the army for three years,
- you had nothing. - you would have nothing left.
(A shocking way of counting from the 1990s)
- What a great code. - Was that the meaning behind it?
- That's a great code. - 3 plus 3 is...
- That's one impressive code. - My gosh.
- Back in the days... - My goodness.
When Jong Kook was singing Tae Hyun's song,
- Tae Hyun danced for you. - Yes.
- Since it's Turbo's song, - Show us the dance routine.
- why don't you dance for Se Yoon? - I don't know the routine.
- Please dance for me. - Give it a try.
- It's an honor. - Well...
- This could be an original video. - Dance for the beginning part.
- Everything could be an original. - He's gotten addicted to that.
You, attention-seeker!
All right. Let's listen to Se Yoon's "Love Is".
("Love Is" by Yoo Se Yoon)
(He's doing two performances.)
(Reply 1996)
It's Jong Kook's part.
(Gosh, I must take a video of this.)
He's teasing Jong Kook.
(He can't stop testing how far he can go.)
- He's teasing Jong Kook. - This is why he asked.
(We met 6 years ago, and I ended up falling in love)
(With you)
(He's expressing with his whole body that he wants to be a bad boy.)
(Se Yoon surpasses Gab Jin now.)
(He does everything people ask him to do.)
(Although I tease you a lot,)
(I love you very much.)
(Patience)
(He sings the best he can with his love for Jong Kook.)
(Feeling satisfied)
(Min Ha, cover your ears for a moment.)
(Screaming)
(He's struggling to hit the high notes.)
(That you love me too)
(They're breathless.)
(I can see that your voice is in pain.)
Jong Kook, sing the last part.
(He's at ease.)
(He's the best!)
Great, great.
(Jong Kook rescues him.)
It would've been a disaster if he didn't sing the last part.
I used to sing the song even if I couldn't reach the high notes.
- Yes. - Right.
- You can't those notes. - Never.
- If I lower it, it's not your song. - But...
- If you do that, it's meaningless. - Yes, it is.
You can't hit those notes even if you lower the key.
- That's right. - Look at the sky
That song? Right.
(Look at the sky)
All right. Today's special was "What's Wrong, Jong Kook?".
The TV ratings for "What's Wrong, Poongsang?" passed 20 percent.
Since Jong Kook was on our show, we can expect a hike in ours, right?
Jong Kook, you're confident, right?
Well, first of all,
- these guys were entertaining too. - Right.
Jong Kook, don't be stingy with entertainment.
What's the point of that?
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
("Love Tonight" by Hong Jin Young)
