The magical Thursday night with top stars.

- Hello. - Hello.
- It's good to see you. - It's good to see you.
It's so good to see you all.
Our studio is unusually bright today.
I haven't worn hanbok for a while either.
You look like a famous Korean history teacher.
- An academy instructor? - That's right.
(Yu Jae Seok, the popular variety show instructor)
Sae Ho, you look like a fortune teller.
Do I?
- I can see your future. - Right.
- You can see it, right? - Yes, I can see it.
- Let's meet our guests. - Okay. Let's begin.
- All right. - What a shame.
(Here comes international celebrities!)
- Our today's guests... - Oh, my.
are from different countries.
We have guests from many different countries.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Hello. - Who is this?
It's Guzal.
- Guzal? - It's been a while.
I haven't seen her for a while.
Please wait for a moment.
- Okay. - Sae Ho...
will go out to bring you in.
Today, we'll be international.

- What was that? - That makes no sense.
("I Live in Korea Special")
First of all, I'd like to welcome all of you...
to Happy Together.
- Thank you. - Welcome to our show!
(Welcome to Happy Together.)
I'll let you go in...
- after a simple test. - A test?
- There's a test? - No.
- But we... - What kind of test?
Should I take a test at my age?
I graduated from college more than 20 years ago.
Why should I take a test?
I graduated from college 40 years ago.
- He's a senior citizen. - I understand.
It's not like an exam.
We just want to see if you can get along with us.
- It's a quick test. - I see.
Many of them are better with words than Sae Ho.
Many of them are.
He should learn from them.
- I'll give you quizzes. - Okay.
I'll tell you 2 letters of a 4-letter idiom.
And you have to guess the rest two letters.
- It's more difficult. - To me?
Considering Sae Ho's competency,
this segment is too much for him.
They just didn't waste the new set.
It's too difficult for his competency.
- Go-jin... - Go-jin?
- Gam-rae. - Gam-rae?
(Go-jin-gam-rae)
That's correct. This is how you do it.
- He's good. - Like this.
- He's really good. - Like this.
I'll give each of you a quiz.
Sae Ho tends to look at the staff during a shoot.
Also, he...
often asks the panel about the rules.
Tell me if you know the answer.
Da-da.
- I'll leave first. - Okay. Jonathan.
- Hold on a second. - Say the answer.
- Da-da? - Da-da.

I got it.
- Ha Il, go ahead. - Wu-yu-bu-dan.
- What's the meaning? - What?
- What? - The meaning.
(Should I say the meaning as well?)
- I'll say it. - What's the meaning?
It means you have trouble making decisions,
lack confidence,
and are indecisive...
and confused.
- Guzal got it right. - Oh, yes.
It's because Jonathan told Ha Il the answer.
Here's the next quiz.
O-ri.

You must know this for mock exams.

- O-ri. - Mu-jung.
- O-ri-mu-jung. - O-ri-mu-jung?
- O-ri-mu-jung. - Correct.
- All right. - Wait. I have a question.
There's a TV show with a title with this.
- Dong-sang. - Ee-mong.
Dong-sang-ee-mong is correct.
Dong-sang-ee-mong.
(It's so exciting.)
Mu-yong. Mu-yong.
Mu-yong-ji-mul.
- That's correct. - My goodness.
They're good.
Jeon-hwa.
(Josh is the only one left.)
- Jeon-hwa? - Yes.
- Jeon-hwa-high-bok. - High-bok.
Jeon-hwa-high-bok.
- I got it. - Go ahead.
Jeon-hwa-wi-bok.
That's correct.
- Wi? - Now...
Please go in.
We'll introduce you to our guests who are...
more Korean than Koreans and are very popular...
from many Korean shows.
It's "I Live in Korea Special".
It feels like we're having a party.
I feel so excited.
You are amazing.
- Indeed. - He's incredible.
How does he know jeon-hwa-wi-bok?
- He's amazing. - I take a mock exam...
- Pardon? - I take a mock exam...
once every three months.
He takes a mock exam once every three months.
Hearing it from him...
- That's funny. - It's so funny.
Jonathan just started 12th grade.
- I see. - He's in 12th grade now.
That's right.
- 12th grade? - He's in 12th grade.
I thought he was in his 30s.
We're talking about his intellectual age.
I may look older because I'm tall.
Are you really in 12th grade?
What are you saying? He looks like a teenager.
- It's okay. I admit it. - You see...
- You're amazing. - Indeed.
Now we're going to...
introduce our guests one by one.
She's been living in Korea for 16 years.
She's in love with Korea.
She's pretty and good at speaking Korean.
Kim Tae Hee of Uzbekistan, Guzal Tursunova!
Hello. Hello.
I've been living in Korea for almost 15 years.
- It's been so long. - I'm Korean now...
legally.
- Really? - Don't look at my face.
When I got invited to this show, I was excited.
It's been quite long since I made my TV debut.
But I've never met Jae Seok before.
We met here for the first time.
- I'm honored. - I'm flattered.
I always wanted to meet him,
- but I had no chance. - We've finally met.
Your face looks smaller in person...
- Really? - than I thought.
Smaller than you thought?
How big did you think my face would be?
I feel too shy to sit right next to you.
She complimented him on his small face.
- She really is Korean. - Exactly.
Saying such a thing as a compliment proves it.
Looking at Guzal closely,
she looks a little bit like a Korean woman.
- She looks Asian. - That's right.
That's because I'm from Central Asia.
Uzbekistan is in Asia.
- That's right. - Maybe that's why.
Since it's in Asia,
we, too, have Mongolian spots as a baby.
Just like Koreans do.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Mongolian spots disappear in six months after birth.
Right? It's true.
I didn't know much about Mongolian spots.
- I'm a bit flustered. - About Mongolian spots...
Guzal knows more about it.
Your pronunciation improved.
It's true.
Your pronunciation really improved.
- Really? - Yes.
Back then, I pretended I wasn't good at it.
- Is that true? - No, I'm joking.
- She improved. - The other guests...
spoke Korean better than me.
And I think what I said wasn't interesting.
So all the parts where I talked were edited out.
People watched "Chitchat of Beautiful Ladies"...
to see you.
- Absolutely. - That's right.
- Stop it. Thank you. - She stood out.
- Thank you. - She stood out.
It's true.
As this is Guzal's first time on Happy Together,
- she's very ambitious. - Is that right?
She'll revive the golden era of female foreigners.
That's right.
- After... - When it was aired...
After "Chitchat of Beautiful Ladies" ended,
many foreign men became famous.
There are a lot of foreign men on TV shows,
but there aren't many foreign women.
All the female foreign stars,
- let's do our best. - Great.
Angelina.
- We can do it. - We can do it.
I wonder why KBS won't...
renew "Chitchat of Beautiful Ladies".
They discussed it not long ago.
- Really? - They did?
How does he know internal affairs of KBS?
Don't lie to us.
Do you attend their meetings?
They discussed it after "Non Summit" ended.
How does he know that?
- I know everything. - He knows everything.
Even we didn't know it. How did he?
He told me that he heard I'd start a TV show.
I asked how he knew, and he said the director...
talked about me when he talked to him.
I said, "Really? I won't be able to join the show."
He said, "Is that right? Me neither."
Ha Il is like Park Myung Soo,
and Sam is like Kim Gu Ra.
He knows what's going on...
I get that a lot.
- Of course. - Directors and writers...
say that I'm like Gu Ra from a foreign country.
I call the writer when we get high ratings.
If we get low ratings...
And I ask about the ratings graph.
I check the part that got the highest ratings.
- My goodness. - He's thorough.
The part that got the highest ratings?
He's unbelievable.
He's been living in Korea for 42 years.
He's the first foreign star in Korea.
"Would you like a bowl of soup?"
The Busan man, Ha Il!
(Ha Il)
Hello. I'm Ha Il.
- Has it been 42 years? - Whenever we invite...
global guests,
Ha Il is always here.
(The regular guest for Global Special)
42 is my age.
(Sam Hammington, age 42, born in 1977)
You have lived in Korea longer than in the US.
It has been that way for a while.
He has lived here longer than Yoon Hee and me.
- That's right. - You are right.
- That's right. - That's right.
I first came to Korea in 1978.
It has been many years.
I was born in 1977.
- Really? - You know...
I came to Korea when you were a year old.
You are younger than me, okay?
You know,
I started the Yeongdo Ha clan.
You should think of it as an honor.
You have a progenitor on your show.
That's right.
- That's right. - He made me realize...
he is the progenitor of Yeongdo Ha clan.
There are four people in the clan now.
He made his village.
You and your three sons make up the clan.
- Yes. - You are the progenitor.
That's right.
You are meeting one for the first time.
The youngest, Jonathan, calls Ha Il...
- "Godfather". - Really?
When I came to Korea at a young age,
he was the only foreigner.
"Would you like a bowl?"
"Would you like a bowl?" He was on TV.
He has been around for a while.
If the variety show scene has Lee Gyeong Gyu...
- Lee Gyeong Gyu. - Lee Gyeong Gyu.
The foreigners have Ha Il Holley.
You received recognition.
They have similar personalities.
(They have similar personalities.)
They are similar.
For goodness' sake.
- See? - That's why...
I find it hard to approach him.
It's similar to how we feel...
- about Lee Gyeong Gyu. - Godfather.
It's understandable.
From the hallway,
I saw Jonathan go...
to Ha Il's waiting room in order to say hello.
(He went to say hello to Godfather Ha Il.)
To be honest, it was a bit...
Should I say this? I am just going to say it.
Josh, Jonathan, and I shared the waiting room...
while Ha Il used one by himself.
That's how it should be.
- That's how it should be. - He is Lee Gyeong Gyu.
He is the progenitor of Yeongdo Ha clan.
Since he will be an important ancestor,
- we need to respect him. - That's right.
That's how it should be.
Please look at us when you talk.
He only looks at Sam.
He has lived in Korea for 22 years.
He started his career as a KBS comedian.
Now, he is known as dad of William and Bentley.
He is the national dad, Sam Hammington.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
The national dad.
When I saw them at the yellow set earlier,
their similar body type...
made them look like brothers.
They looked so cute.
You are getting there.
- Welcome. - Sam is someone...
- we are familiar with. - That's right.
You said I have lived in Korea for 22 years,
but I didn't stay throughout those years.
- You went back and forth. - I was a student,
so I had to return to Australia to graduate.
So I have lived in Korea for 17 years.
17 years.
He is one of the leading figures...
of variety shows. Let's congratulate him.
Top Excellence Award...
of "2018 KBS Entertainment Awards"...
went to Sam Hammington.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
KBS, I love you.
Thank you.
Top Excellence Award.
It's an impressive feat.
To be honest, I was very surprised.
13 years ago, I took the same stage...
for "Gag Concert"...
- many times. - That's right.
When I was in "Gag Concert",
I didn't dream of winning an award.
It must have been touching.
- That's right. - You started out on KBS.
Then you received an award on KBS.
To this day, people congratulate me.
I once narrated "The Return of Superman".
- Really? - That's right.
William and Bentley are so cute.
Do you feel their popularity?
The number of followers tells me everything.
What do you mean?
William has about 72,000...
No, 721,000 followers.
William has 721,000 followers?
Bentley has about 300,000 followers.
Combined, they have over 1 million followers.
How about you?
220,000 followers.
That's still impressive.
- I know. - You have many followers.
I had a chance to feel William's popularity.
William said to me...
I didn't understand him at first.
He said, "Buzz. Buzz."
"What? Do you want me to pose?"
"What does that mean?" I passed him by.
He was saying I look like Buzz Lightyear.
- "Toy Story". - You do look like him.
- You have similar looks. - You do look like him.
Someone sent me...
a Buzz Lightyear doll.
- Really? - William saw me that way.
Upon hearing that,
I decided to get more Botox injections.
Buzz Lightyear doesn't have a neck!
If Hyun Moo's neck becomes thicker,
he will look exactly like Buzz Lightyear.
William loves the character,
so he was surprised to meet someone...
who looks the same.
While you are thankful for everyone's love,
you are also worried.
You can't even go to a playground freely.
Young people have cellphones.
They take videos of the children like this.
I always ask William,
"Do you want to get your picture taken?"
"Do you not want to get your picture taken?"
I won't force him to do something he doesn't like.
I don't let them see "The Return of Superman".
They are too young to comprehend...
- that they are on a show. - That's right.
- People need respect. - You know,
this is fascinating.
Angelina and the others keep reacting...
- in Korean. - What did they say?
"That's right. It must be hard."
Really?
(That's right.)
(They are only children.)
(That's right.)
"That's right."
I am only good at giving reactions.
She gives the reactions we need.
Her face and gestures...
- are expressive. - That's right.
It's easy to sympathize with her.
She has lived in Korea for four years.
She is the rising star from Russia...
who stole men's hearts.
Angelina Danilova.
- All right. - Come on!
Her nickname is The Great Angelina.
The Great Angelina.
It's nice to meet you.
- All right. - It's nice to meet you.
- She is really pretty. - I know.
Seriously.
When I walk down the street,
people look at me and say,
"Gosh, I can't believe it."
"She is pretty."
Are you saying that about yourself?
They said, "I can't believe it."
- But... - It actually happens.
I still get embarrassed...
when I hear those compliments.
You know you are pretty, right?
No, I don't know.
- Come on. - Come on.
- She is pretty. - I know.
Even in Russia, you are a pretty woman.
- No, I... - That's right.
When I hear a compliment,
I don't know what to say.
I see. You don't know...
how to react...
- to a compliment. - Say, "I know."
Really? I know.
- There you go. - I know.
I know.
(She knows she is pretty.)
I will say that from now on.
I am pretty.
He has lived in Korea for 11 years.
On YouTube, he has 3 million subscribers.
He is an unofficial diplomat...
who spreads Korea and the UK to the world.
He is an Englishman, Josh Carrott.
- Yes! - Come on!
Thank you.
- Josh is very famous. - That's not true.
Angelina said...
she watched Josh's channel...
even before she came to Korea.
It made me realize that he is very famous.
That's right. Before I came to Korea,
I watched his videos on YouTube.
- I was happy to see him. - It's nice to meet you.
I heard that you live in the UK.
Did you come to Korea to be on Happy Together?
Yes. I was filming...
a YouTube series with my mother....
in Korea.
Luckily, I could fit this shoot...
- into my schedule. - You know,
Josh wouldn't say this...
because he is modest.
For this shoot,
he sent his mother to the UK first...
and stayed in Korea for a few days.
- Really? - This is a program...
he respects very much.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
Josh is great.
Josh, did you encounter Korean culture in China?
Yes. It's fascinating.
When I was 12 years old, my family moved to China.
Really?
I lived in China...
until I entered the university.
For six years, I attended the international school.
All my friends were Korean.
When I went to school for the first time,
I didn't understand anything...
when the Korean kids spoke Korean.
It was a bit hard.
After a few months,
they approached me...
and asked me to go to the PC cafe with them.
- The PC cafe is the best. - You don't need...
to speak the language.
As I played games and made friends,
I came to know about Korea.
When I went to my friends' house...
and ate the food their parents made,
I learned more about Korean culture.
(He learned more about Korean culture.)
From age 12 to 18,
I was obsessed with Korean culture.
I didn't know if I were English,
Korean,
or a confused man...
living in China.
Which part of Korean culture?
Food?
- Firstly, - K-Pop?
I didn't feel like...
a foreigner...
who is interested in Korea.
When you are 12 years old,
you see your friends...
and hear...
what your friends think about you...
to establish your identity.
All of my friends were Korean.
At first, they were very different.
I was the only English.
However, after 2, 3, 4,
five years passed,
we became friends.
All of my friends were Korean,
so I couldn't make them English.
- But they made me Korean. - They made you Korean.
Thus, I watched a few Korean TV shows.
I watched "Infinite Challenge".
- Really? - I see.
I didn't understand everything.
- I see. - I didn't speak Korean.
But I loved slapstick comedy.
- I see. - I watched music shows.
I was a fan of Lee Hyo Lee and BoA.
I also watched Rain's performances.
Although the Asian culture was unfamiliar,
you adjusted quickly...
- thanks to your father. - Really?
My father is half Chinese.
- Really? - Really?
Thus, I am part Chinese.
Which one of our grandparents...
My grandma is Chinese.
My grandpa was a police officer...
in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong was under British rule.
It was under British rule.
My dad lived in Hong Kong for 19 years.
With my dad's side of the family,
I often eat dim sum and Chinese food.
When I was 16 years old, my friend and I...
took a trip to Korea.
- You were 16 years old. - Yes.
It was fascinating to see the culture...
I have encountered in China.
When it was time to go to the university,
I was frustrated by not knowing Korean...
despite my interest in the culture.
That's why I majored in Korea.
After studying a year in the UK,
I became an exchange student...
and studied at Korea University.
- I see. - I live...
in the UK now,
but I visit often for my YouTube channel.
I am caught between cultures.
When I am in the UK,
I am not exactly English.
You are having an identity crisis.
When I am in Korea...
- You understand, right? - Yes.
He wrapped it up perfectly.
You know,
Jonathan is sitting like a student.
You know...
(He is listening despite his slouch.)
You are hurting your back.
He is a typical teenager.
I am used to sitting like this.
Since all of my friends were Korean,
I became absorbed in Korean culture.
It frustrated me...
that people didn't know the importance of Korea.
- Hence YouTube. - That's why I started.
I see.
He is playing an important role.
He has lived in Korea for 12 years.
He has perfectly adjusted to life in Korea.
He is the prince of Congo from Jeolla Province,
- Jonathan Thona. - Jonathan.
- Come on! - He is cute.
- He is cute. - Jonathan is cute.
Thank you.
- You are cool. - I agree.
I know.
Where in Jeolla Province are you from?
I am from Gwangju.
You sound like...
a typical Korean teenager.
- Of course he does. - I am attending...
a high school in Korea.
You are like a typical high schooler.
I am really happy to be on this show.
Jae Seok, I have watched your shows...
ever since I came to Korea.
I watched "Family Outing".
It's the variety show of my life.
- It is. - My goodness.
- I am serious. - I am surprised...
it's the variety show of his life.
I didn't know Korean back then.
The way you imitated grasshopper...
and interacted with other members...
were really interesting.
Which scene was the most memorable?
I can tell you.
Jong Kook was cutting an ingredient.
He has a scene in mind.
You asked, "Why would you cut that?"
Then Jong Kook said, "I can't cut you."
That's right.
- "I can't cut you." - I remember that scene.
A person from Congo laughed at that scene.
That's fascinating.
Did you come from Gwangju today?
Yes, I did.
At what time did you hit the road?
About 6am.
Seoul is far.
Although you live in Jeolla Province,
you speak like you're from Seoul.
I lived 5 years in Gwangju and 5 years in Incheon.
Thus, I don't fully use Jeolla dialect yet.
His tone and pronunciation are very stable.
Sae Ho is nervous again.
He is too good.
He is very stable.
You don't speak Jeolla dialect.
- He has lived in Incheon. - It comes out...
at the right situation.
- Is that so? - It comes out.
I see.
"It's mighty delicious."
You learned Korean at a young age.
- I absorbed everything. - Seriously.
The crew thinks Sae Ho's award...
should go to Jonathan.
Let's see how things go. This is only an opening.
- Okay. - Let's see how things go.
If I lose, I will send my trophy to Gwangju.
Okay.
I have many questions for Jonathan.
People call you the prince of Congo.
- Are you really a prince? - I wanted to clear...
this misunderstanding.
- In "Screening Humanity", - Right.
Father sat us down...
and explained where he came from.
Congo is...
11 times bigger than Korea.
- You mean the size. - It's 11 times bigger.
- 11 times. - There are...
over 200 tribes...
in the country.
There are many tribes.
That's right. In Kitona Tribe,
my grandpa was the king.
- You really are a prince. - The tribe itself...
isn't very big. Here is the problem.
Instead of explaining these things,
the show went, "The UK has Prince William,"
"Congo has Prince Jonathan."
That's why people call me the prince of Congo.
People ask, "Are you really a prince?"
It's hard to explain.
You are one prince out of numerous tribes.
I am technically a prince, but...
Your grandpa was the king.
Was the Kitona Tribe powerful?
To be honest, I don't think it was.
I think Dad exaggerates...
- to make us proud. - He exaggerates.
I looked into it, but...
In any case, I learned about the tribe.
It was like that.
- It was like that. - It was like that.
You know.
You were an eight-year-old when you came to Korea.
- 12 years have passed. - Yes.
You still can't forget the day of your arrival.
I arrived in Korea at 7 o'clock...
on February 13, 2008.
- You even know the time. - I remember.
When I came to Korea,
I met my dad in 6 years. He left Congo in 2002...
and we met in 2008.
I hadn't seen my dad for six years.
Before the journey, my mom told me,
"We are in the airport. Don't go to anyone."
"Stay close to me."
But when we arrived, my mom ran to someone...
and kissed him with tears in her eyes.
After the confusion, I learned he is my dad.
You expect a child to cry...
- in that situation. - That's right.
It wasn't like that.
"Oh, he is my dad." I simply thought that.
There weren't any other feelings.
- it was awkward. - I didn't expect him...
to have a big belly and gray hair.
He wasn't the dad you had imagined.
He was different.
"His stomach is too big."
How big was his stomach?
It was like that.
He was hit with time.
(He was hit with time.)
That's no way to talk to your father.
- "He was hit with time." - Seriously.
He had lived diligently.
That's right. He had lived diligently.
I respect him. I do.
In any case, the difference was stark.
The past six years had been tough.
- They had been tough. - That's right.
Sam is very popular these days.
I guess Ha Il doesn't like that.
He said Sam will regret it later in life.
He poured out curses.
Did you do that?
I know he will regret it.
There is a reason why I say that.
Now, his children are young and cute.
They are cute.
Just you wait! Your cute children...
(He fires off curses.)
will go to middle school and high school.
Then they will be in their 20s.
They will ask, "Dad, give me money."
"Give me money"!
(Dad, give me money for the PC cafe.)
(The future of William and Bentley?)
Then...
- He is ridiculous. - You said this earlier.
You said this earlier.
"Do you want to get your pictures taken?"
Why would you ask? Don't ask them!
"Do you want to go to school?"
"I don't want to go."
"Okay. Stay home." Will you do that?
You won't. You won't.
Did you bring a script?
- He will regret it. - Did you bring a script?
My first son is four years old.
My second son is two years old.
Why would you say that about Sam's children?
They have years ahead of them.
It has nothing to do with Sam's popularity.
- Seriously. - I know, but...
Children need hope.
You shouldn't give them...
the freedom to choose.
You shouldn't.
- You know, - He is attacking Sam.
I have recent news regarding Ha Il.
His son, Jai Ik,
blocked him on SNS.
My goodness.
It happened because he is like this.
- Now is not the time... - He is petty.
- to worry about Sam. - Seriously.
My son was cute when he was little.
But he is in his 20s now.
He blocked me on SNS.
Why?
My son is handsome.
My son is handsome since he takes after me.
When I tag him in a photo,
he hates it.
He says I tag him in bad photos of his.
He blocked me so that I can't tag him.
I figured it out right away.
His son has many followers,
so Ha Il wanted to use that.
That wasn't my intention.
No way.
Why would you try to take your son's followers?
You were going to benefit from your son.
You should learn from your son too.
Your son has more followers than you.
Ha Il,
are you trying to get more followers?
(Is it Ha Il's big picture?)
It's not like that.
I just want to know what my son is up to.
- You're curious. - I am curious.
You should make a secret account then.
You can follow him...
and keep monitoring him.
That's a great idea.
Did you not think of that?
He can make a secret account.
You are great, Sam.
He gives Sam a lot of advice.
But he mostly tells him...
not to badmouth him,
not to step on him to get higher,
and not to talk when he talks.
Doesn't that make him the typical boss?
I don't know why Sam goes around...
badmouthing me.
Why do you keep using my name?
Why are you upset?
I am offended.
- Sam. - It really upsets me.
He is a veteran in this industry.
- I know. - He's more experienced.
- It's not true. - Is it not true?
It's...
"Ha Il has lost his sense of humor."
He says that.
That's terrible thing to say.
That makes me tearful.
- That's not badmouthing. - Why?
- It's reality. - It's a fact.
- It's a fact. - Don't badmouth me.
Badmouth Ida Daussy.
Ida Daussy...
- She hasn't been on TV. - She's not...
on TV these days. Why would you badmouth her?
Badmouth Christina.
- I should sit there. - Why?
I don't fit in here.
I am not married.
I think I blend in better over there.
(They are Tom and Jerry.)
Do you understand what he is saying?
I understand it perfectly.
(Do I have to say this?)
- Go ahead. - I will be honest.
These days, I think he's jealous of me.
("Sam Thinks Ha Il Is Jealous of My Popularity")
He's jealous of your popularity.
Recently, I won the Top Excellence Award.
I am a regular host of a KBS show.
Wait. Wait.
Wait. I will finish talking first.
- My head hurts. - Wait for your turn.
I am a regular host of a KBS show.
In the past, I was on SBS show "Jagiya".
- I was on that show. - Right.
I had to leave the show later on.
I told the producer...
that Ha Il would be a great replacement.
(He recommended Ha Il.)
I said he was a great fit.
You mean you got him in.
At the time, it was all great.
The show was popular.
But suddenly the show got discontinued.
It was discontinued.
I am worried about whether...
he should go on an educational show.
- I'm worried for him. - Wait.
Sam, let me tell you.
Congratulations.
He didn't mean it at all.
- It's... - No soul whatsoever.
How many years have you been a TV personality?
(Beep. A bossy man is around.)
He's a bossy man.
Wait. There's reason.
- How many years? - 17 years.
I've been in Korea for 17 years.
He's just like Sae Ho.
"Which class are you?"
("Which class are you?")
(That's the bossy people's way of talking.)
How many years have you been a TV personality?
I've been a TV personality in Korea for 17 years.
- Right. 17 years. - 17 years.
How long have I been in this industry?
(He emphasizes that he's more experienced.)
Oh, my gosh.
I've been in this industry for 23 years.
What's important is that he received...
an award after 17 years. Congratulations.
- I... - Does he mean it?
started working in 1995.
At the end of 1996,
I received an award on KBS Entertainment Award...
under foreigner category.
TV Personality of the Year,
foreigner category.
(Be aware that it's from 23 years ago.)
The winner is Ha Il.
(Ha Il, TV Personality of the Year)
Welcome.
I feel very good.
I want to thank the beloved viewers.
I received an award.
(It took me just a year.)
Was there a foreigner category?
It was 23 years ago.
- At the time... - Wasn't he the only one?
There weren't many...
They didn't have anyone to give it to.
- That's why... - Sam.
Come on.
He still beat Ida.
Ha Il is very upset.
He doesn't like that Sam is here.
I love being here with Sam.
I like Sam. I like you.
But that's not what you said during the interview.
You asked why we invited such a useless man.
Don't say it.
You said that.
- I... - You said that.
That's understandable. But...
isn't this foreigner special?
- It is. - He's Korean.
- Come on. - Why is he here?
(He will see the elder off.)
- Go home. - Sit.
- Ha Il. - You're stealing my line?
- That was my line. - He's Korean.
- He's got the ID. - He's got the ID.
You are the founder of Yeongdo Ha clan.
- Right. - You don't fit in here.
So invite me for Korean special.
There's no Korean special.
- Not the foreigner one. - This is Korea.
Every week is a Korean special.
We should hold hands and leave.
Guzal too...
I am registered as a Korean too.
You are a Korean too.
- Yes. I am Korean too. - Come back next week.
You have the resident ID?
I do. Do you want to see it?
- Show us. - I didn't know.
This is my resident ID.
(This is my resident ID.)
- She's Korean. - I didn't change my name.
My name is written in Korean, and it's long.
It's Tursunova Guzal.
(Tursunova Guzal is her name on the ID.)
- It's a hassle. - What is?
When I give my name on the phone,
the call center agents don't get it.
That's a hassle.
People ask me why I am not changing my name.
I am thinking about it.
There's a limit to how long your name can be.
- On the internet... - There isn't now.
- What? - There isn't now.
- It's been a long time. - There's a limit.
When you book a flight,
- 15 letters. - there's a limit.
The limit is 15 letters.
- It's less than that. - She knows so much.
- 15 letters... - She's better than us.
- She knows more than us. - She knows about...
- the system better. - 15 letters.
When I first came to Korea,
you couldn't type more than four letters.
- Right. - Four was the limit.
It was really hard for the foreigners.
So many people...
had been suffering, so they extended it.
- The limit is 15 letters. - Actually,
Ha Il has been in Korea the longest.
But it seems like he doesn't know much.
He's just filled with anger.
- Guzal is... - He didn't know idioms.
She's...
- She's amazing. - It was as if...
she works at a community center.
I go there often.
That's why you know so well.
- She's been in Korea... - It's understandable.
for a long time.
I can't live abroad.
I've been to many countries.
- But? - In less than a month,
I feel like coming back to Korea.
Korea is my home now.
I get homesick.
What if you go to Uzbekistan?
- Does it feel strange? - After a week,
I feel like going home.
- But that's your home. - I don't like the food.
You don't like the food?
I only eat rice.
I don't eat flour.
But they mostly eat flour-based food.
I eat flour in the morning and in the evening.
They only eat meat.
They don't have the ocean. It's inland.
- It's hard to eat fish. - You crave for fish.
I really like fish.
After eating meat for a week,
I thought I couldn't possibly live there.
I can't wait to get home.
- She's very upset. - I am upset.
- She is. - After two weeks,
- The food wasn't good. - I stare at the wall...
and count the days.
- "When will I go home?" - You want to go home.
When you come back to Korea,
do you go through the domestic counter?
- Of course. - Of course.
I use the automatic entry and exit service.
- You do? - Of course I do.
It's much faster.
I get frustrated when I go abroad.
How about you, Ha Il?
When you go to the US, do you queue up...
in the foreigner queue?
I have to enter the foreigner queue.
(Ha Il, the founder of Yeongdo Ha clan)
I have the Korean passport.
You queue up in the foreigner queue?
It became strange.
After marrying me, my wife...
became a permanent resident.
She enters the queue for US citizens.
Since I changed my nationality,
I enter the queue for the foreigners.
(Ha Il goes to the foreigner queue.)
This is just...
That's really fascinating.
The most fascinating thing is this. Koreans...
can enter the US without a visa for 90 days.
He had to queue up in front of the embassy.
Really.
- I had to. - No way.
(It's true.)
I had to queue up.
You lined up in front of the embassy...
and waited to get a visa?
When you make a mistake, you get interviewed.
I know. My gosh.
I am a Korean citizen now, you know.
When I go to the US, they become surprised...
when they see my passport.
They ask me if I am mixed.
When I am with Koreans, they all think that.
People think I look like a half-Korean.
But I don't have Korean blood.
I lived here for too long.
I must've lived here for too long.
I ate too much Korean food.
It affected me.
It's fascinating. When I go to the US...
and go through the immigrations,
they recognize me.
- Really? - They all...
watch Korean shows.
What do they say?
"I saw you on Korean TV."
What was more fascinating was that...
the immigrations officer was Korean American.
When I visited the US last time,
the officer saw my passport and said,
"I've seen you a lot on TV."
He talked to me in Korean.
He saw me and said...
to the officer next to him.
"Look who's here."
He was Korean American too.
When I go to the US, there are many Korean Americans.
A lot of people watch Korean TV shows.
I can enter the US without any problem.
But you do queue up as a foreigner.
He got the visa at the US Embassy.
- At the US Embassy. - He shouldn't be here.
At the US Embassy at Gwanghwamun,
he queued up to get a tourist visa.
We should've filmed that.
It's so funny.
It'd be a great social media hit.
- Everyone will like it. - Everyone will like it.
It's been stressful,
but you were happy because of pork belly.
In my country,
pork is expensive.
- Pork is more expensive? - It's more expensive.
Beef is much cheaper.
- Really? - Everyone eats...
- beef at home. - That's amazing.
When my parents came to visit me,
I had to treat them to something good.
I really love pork belly.
I asked my parents to go eat pork belly.
My parents thought it would be expensive.
Beef is cheap in our country.
My parents said we should just eat beef.
But I was like...
It's the opposite.
- Beef is expensive here. - It's...
- fun. - Pork is cheap.
It's like a comedy movie script.
"I know my daughter earns a lot of money,"
"but we couldn't make her treat us to pork belly."
- "Even if you make..." - "Let's just eat beef."
"Let's just eat Korean beef."
Korean beef is expensive.
I don't have that much money.
When you eat Korean beef barbecue,
you have to spend hundreds of dollars.
My younger brother and father eat well.
They didn't know.
So I said...
I tricked them.
"I should treat you to something delicious."
"Eat as much as you want."
I took them to an eat-all-you-can place.
You can eat as much as you can for 10 dollars.
- For 10 dollars. - "Mom,"
"eat until you get full. Eat even if you are full."
"Eat even if you are full."
I told them I really wanted to treat them well.
They actually really enjoyed it.
That's all that matters.
Your mom must've thought this.
"My daughter became successful in Korea."
She bragged about me in Uzbekistan.
- That you're successful. - She told everyone...
that I fed them pork every day.
(She treated them every night.)
They had pork belly and soju every night.
(They had it the whole time.)
Do you not grill meat in Uzbekistan?
We don't have that culture.
We have...
a barbecue, but the meat is always marinated.
- Skewered meat. - Shashlik.
Right. It's marinated.
It's similar to what they eat in Russia.
Whether it's lamb or beef,
they marinate it first.
Usually the meat smells.
So they marinate it...
and age it for about half a day.
- You mature it. - Yes. You mature it.
It makes the meat tender.
Then you grill it on fire.
When we go camping, we make that.
Usually, men cook that.
They say it tastes bad when a woman cooks it.
- They say that? - Yes.
- Really? - Men should do it.
In Uzbekistan,
even the marinade has to be done by men.
They believe it will taste too terrible...
if a woman touches it. They don't want it.
- That's strange. - That's what they say.
When the mother cooks it,
they lie that the father cooked it.
- My goodness. - Really?
They do that.
I don't know why there's such a prejudice.
Other dishes are fine,
but this is men's dish.
That's why they think men should cook it.
When they sell it on streets...
We eat it on the streets.
It's always cooked by men.
No women cook it.
- That's so different. - In Uzbekistan, it has...
- My goodness. - to be cooked by men.
Different cultures are very fascinating.
Angelina, I heard you were surprised...
by Koreans' habits.
Yes. When I first came to Korea,
I found an interesting habit.
What is it?
People talk to themselves.
This is what they do.
"I am hungry." When I first heard it,
I wondered if I should buy him food...
of ask him to go eat.
But he was just talking to himself.
But I realized that...
he was just talking to himself.
It was really fascinating.
He was talking to himself,
but you thought he was talking to you.
I thought he was talking to me.
Do foreigners not do that?
Don't you say, "I'm hungry"?
- "I'm hungry." - "I don't want to do it."
They say that a lot.
He gave a perfect example.
"It's annoying."
- Right. "It's annoying." - "It's annoying."
When a professor gives a lot of assignments,
people say, "I don't want to do it."
They talk to themselves a lot.
Don't they do it abroad?
People do that.
But when you talk to yourself a lot,
people suspect that you are mentally unstable.
We even sing. My father does this.
Where is my car
It really fascinates me.
Fathers do that.
- Why do you do that? - You just do it.
- It just comes out. - Where's the remote
You just sing.
- Let's see - Let's see
That's what we do.
I think I've seen someone like that.
There are people like that.
When you are sitting down...
They do that.
But you could just sit.
"My goodness."
"My gosh."
I have never thought that was strange.
It's strange.
"My goodness. My legs."
- Right. - I got used to it.
You don't have this.
When you go to the bathroom,
"My stomach hurts. My stomach hurts."
- "My stomach hurts." - When we got married,
my wife was saying that in the morning.
She was in the bathroom, and she kept saying,
"My stomach hurts." I thought she was dying.
I thought she was dying.
Do you not have this in the US?
You don't talk to yourself.
Have you even been to the US?
I've been there 40 years ago.
40 years ago.
(He went 40 years ago.)
I experienced the same thing.
My wife kept saying, "My head hurts."
She repeated it though. "My head hurts."
You could just say it once.
It's not like I can help her when...
- she says it many times. - She's just in pain.
When I asked her about it,
she said it makes her...
- feel better. - There's that.
She was doing it so she can feel better.
That makes me flustered too.
I just remembered it.
"It hurts. It hurts." "Can I help?"
"Don't touch me!"
- What am I to do? - You'd be in trouble.
What are you supposed to do?
My friend looked very serious.
He kept saying, "What do I do?"
"What do I do?"
"What's wrong?" "Don't ask me."
"Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me."
- "Don't talk to me." - He kept saying it.
You have to just leave him alone.
"What do I do?" You're right.
When you eat,
you always say, "Thank you for the food."
When you eat, you say, "It's delicious."
And after you eat,
you say, "Thank you for the food."
Don't you say, "That was good"?
After you enjoy a meal?
- Do you not express it? - You talk...
- "Was it good?" - to another person.
You ask if it's good.
But you don't talk to yourself.
"It's delicious!" That's strange.
- You don't do that. - "I love this."
"This is amazing."
I always say it.
"Now I can live."
"My blood is running now."
"I ate well."
"That was a good meal."
There's nothing like that.
- "I ate well." - You don't have that?
It's like this.
"Who is he talking to?"
Really?
That's why you suspect if that person's okay.
"Who is he talking to?"
They all stare at me.
Josh, please do an English version.
"I ate well."
"I feel very full."
Can you say something similar in English?
I know you don't say it, but still...
- In English? - Yes.
- Something similar. - "That was a great meal."
"Yes, I really loved that."
It's so fake.
(He realizes that it's fake.)
What's wrong with that?
- It's strange. - What...
What's strange about it?
That's the most common one.
Did you find it strange, Josh?
We didn't find it strange at all.
It's fine in Korean.
- But in English. - It's like he's acting.
It's like he's overreacting.
Angelina, can you say it in Russian?
- We never... - Try it.
- Try it. - Say you finished a meal.
"That was a good meal." "I should come back here."
"I should come back here."
"That was so good. I ate so well."
- "It was delicious." - It's like she's acting.
(It's like she's acting.)
She doesn't. She looks very natural.
It's like she's acting.
(It looks natural to us.)
So it's strange.
After living in Korea for a long time, I do it.
- How do you do it? - Right.
I say,
"This place is good. This food is delicious."
I say it to myself.
"I should come back here." I do that.
I've heard a lot of things about...
the cultural differences.
But I never knew that this was strange.
You said "It was a great meal".
"A great meal".
It sounds very strange.
- What's strange? - Right?
It's your first time to hear it, isn't it?
Who says that?
"This restaurant is great."
- "This is great." - First,
you could say that when someone asks.
- But nobody asked, - You said it alone.
and yet you say...
"Oh, my gosh. Didn't you love that meal?"
"How good was that meal? Oh, my gosh."
- It's strange. - It's strange.
Usually we use a past tense.
"That place".
We say "that place" was good.
We never say "this place" is good.
We say it to people after we leave.
- Interesting. - It has to be the past.
What do you say, Ha Il?
You are learning a lot today, aren't you?
I don't know what he is saying.
Foreigners find it...
really fascinating to see people...
whispering to themselves.
Foreigners are fascinated by it.
Perhaps because my wife is old now,
she talks to herself a lot.
(Talking to herself)
I ask her,
"Who are you talking to?"
"I'm here."
- So it's strange. - It's strange.
- It's strange. - When I am alone...
But you have Mr. Bean in the UK.
When you see Mr. Bean, he does that.
(Mr. Bean loves talking to himself.)
He does that.
- Right. Right. - Right.
(Everyone in the world talks to themselves.)
Angelina, can I ask...
if you're working as a model?
- At first... - Yes?
I wasn't a model, but then I came to Korea.
This is where I started...
working as one.
Weren't you...
- a model then? - No, I was...
just a college student.
- Really? - But everyone here...
knows me as a model.
Exactly. I thought you were a model too.
I wasn't a professional model until I got here.
I only did some jobs on the side...
as a part-time gig.
- Of course. - You can speak...
multiple languages too.
She's not just pretty but is multilingual.
She can speak five languages.
Korea, Russian...
Russian, Korean, English,
Italian, and Serbian.
- Serbian? - Serbian too?
I was always interested...
- in studying languages. - I see.
Can you introduce yourself in Serbian?
Could you?
Hello, I'm Angelina, and I'm 22.
(You are currently listening to Serbian.)
How about in Italian?
She could curse and we wouldn't know.
Right. Hello.
I'm Angelina,
and I'm from Saint Petersburg, Russia.
She's really good.
(You are currently listening to Italian.)
I studied Italian for a year,
but I've forgotten most of it now.
Didn't you say, "carbonara"?
- Carbonara. - Carbonara.
(That's all the Italian they know.)
Hearing her pronounce it though...
- Right. - "Carbonara".
Let me tell you how amazing she is.
She loves languages so much...
that she's been interested in our dialects.
Yes, dialects are fun.
What are the words you know?
"I've had enough, my friend."
(She brings on the dialect.)
There's also this too.
In Seoul, girls just call a man plainly,
but in Busan, the girls say it in this tone.
Right?
- Is that right? - It sure is.
"You're right!"
"Sweet."
(There's one more.)
You learned that from Simon Dominic.
Yes, I picked it up from him.
- "Sweet." - "Sweet."
Ask away if you have any questions.
We have experts from two areas today.
- That's true. - You're right.
I'll teach you what I know.
- The Jeolla dialect? - Any questions?
What's the most popular expression there?
Every conversation we have starts with "You know".
- Right. - "You know."
- That's right. - "You know."
At first, I was startled by this word.
Earlier, I said that you have a small face.
Jae Seok's face was you know...
- You know? - But they understand it.
Yes, the people know what it means.
Is it a good word or a bad word?
It's used when you can't be bothered to explain...
things that everyone knows.
What everyone knows?
That's right. Things you know.
- "You know." - I totally get that.
Once, I went to Gwangju to host an event.
The man there had a thick Jeolla dialect.
"Thank you for rushing down here."
"Go up there and you know. Thank you."
He was asking me...
to do well on stage.
"You know" can mean anything.
Honestly, it's hard to grasp at first.
You can't understand what the others are saying.
But it makes conversations easier now.
When you can't think of a word...
that both of you know...
"You know, that thing."
What if there's something you don't like?
That guy is really "you know".
- That's what you say. - Hold on.
It's all about reading the expressions then.
You'll misunderstand each other.
That never happens with the people of Gwangju.
Exactly.
- Right? - That's right.
- Hold on. - We all understand it.
Aren't you pretending to understand each other?
That's not true. We do get the meaning.
It means "good".
- Seriously? - No way.
Are you pretending to be a foreigner?
(Are you pretending to be a foreigner?)
What he says doesn't make sense.
- What? - You know,
if that's how it's going to be...
- Right. - Pretending to be one?
My gosh. We're hearing a lot of shocking things.
It's an absolute mess.
I'm curious though. Is there a Russian word...
that functions like the word he just said?
- Is there one? - In Russian,
"thank you" is "spasibo".
- We know that. - We do.
- Right? - We love that word.
Yes, Koreans especially love that word.
- Right. - I see.
- Is that so? - It means "thank you".
- "Thank you!" - That's right.
It's the Russian word Koreans like to say.
- That's right. - We say it a lot.
You don't pronounce all the syllables though.
- This is how you say it. - "Spasibo".
- Like this. - It sounds harsher.
(It sounds more like a curse.)
Don't emphasize the last to syllables.
- Keep it light. - What was that?
- Right. - Don't emphasize it.
When I first came to Korea,
and heard the Korean word for "shoe"...
- Right. - When I heard that word,
I thought that it was a cuss word.
You knew the Korean cuss word.
You must watch the pronunciation.
Anyway, I was worried about making mistakes.
Also,
the year 2018...
That too...
I see that she's been traumatized.
As you can see, Angelina...
- Those words. - She's been traumatized.
"Shoe", "2018", and others...
- have traumatized her. - I was worried about...
- Yes, making mistakes. - That's right.
- I mean... - Look how anxious she is.
That's why I try to be more precise.
The name of the year in 2018 was a bit...
- hard to pronounce. - That's why...
I was so relieved when we began...
the year 2019.
- So 2019... - Yes, it's easier...
- to say its name. - Angelina is relieved...
now that it's not 2018 anymore.
Jonathan, you're a high school senior now.
He's very interested in Korean history.
When my family first came to Korea,
we lived in Incheon.
I was like other tourists who visit Korea.
I'd say that I enjoy the food...
- and that it's delicious. - You like kimchi stew.
That's all I'd say really.
But then we followed our dad to Gwangju.
In less than a week after we had moved,
my dad took us all to the 5.18 Memorial Park...
- in Gwangju. - I see.
- Me and... - In Gwangju?
Me and my brother went with him...
and many of it is explained in English.
My dad explained...
how our country is in the same state...
and that we should learn from the Koreans.
That's what he told us, and what I saw...
was the naked face of Korea.
I saw a new side to Korea for the first time.
That's when you began studying our history.
Up until then, I mostly saw...
Korea with all its makeup on.
Finally, I saw its true face.
- Korea's true face. - It really hit me.
I first questioned how this happened...
and kept digging into it history.
I ended up going back to Joseon Dynasty.
That's when my interest...
for Korean history first sparked up.
- That's so cool. - I see.
You also know the Japanese Invasion of Korea.
That's right. I learned the basics...
from Seol Min Seok.
- Mr. Seol? - Yes, online.
He has a trick...
to memorizing the year 1592.
- The year 1592. - It's been engraved.
- You memorized it. - I find it entertaining.
I hear you recommend...
the 5.18 Memorial Park to foreigners too.
I mostly mean the people of Congo.
Many countries in Africa right now...
are suffering from dictatorship.
The people of those countries...
will definitely be enlightened by the park.
It's the same for me and my mom,
but what we love most about Korea is...
the love that the people have for it.
- The patriotic spirit. - Right.
It's something that my family highly praises.
Even though they're at each other's throats,
they come together when Korea is in crisis.
Our people speak so many different languages...
that we first ask which tribe others are from.
"What was that gesture just now?"
"Just kidding. I understood it."
Koreans don't hesitate to come together,
but our people can't even communicate...
which makes it harder for us to unite.
That's what I envy about Korea the most.
The language barrier is too high for...
- your people to unite. - Yes, the language.
It's Sam Okyere's dream...
to become the president of Ghana.
He's someone that I really admire.
- He's cool. - Because...
he has been saying that...
from the beginning.
(What's your dream?)
(It's to be the president of Ghana.)
Not many took him seriously,
but he proved it with his actions.
- He even found a school. - Yes, he established one.
It's one of the best things...
a foreigner in Korea can do which is...
to connect what we learn from here.
Sam already took actions...
by being a promotional ambassador and all...
and I highly respect that.
I'd rather he turn it down a notch...
because he walks around like a politician...
- these days. - It's too much.
- In what way? - Really?
He needs to slow down.
What's with the jealousy?
- Recently... - I'm not kidding though.
He recently ate soup and rice...
at a traditional market.
I saw him do that and I thought...
that he had announced his candidacy.
- He shakes hands too. - Yes, on the street.
He even hands out his business cards.
"Hello, I'm Sam Okyere."
"Aren't you exhausted? You must be cold."
"I'm Sam Okyere."
Why does politics lead to soup and rice though?
It's like a basic step or something.
He always mixes the rice in the soup too.
Hearing Jonathan made me look back on myself...
because he could know more...
about Korea's history than I.
- Of course he does. - But...
How could you say that?
- Is that what you think? - Really?
How could you say that to him?
That's not the reaction I was hoping for.
I wanted to keep the tension up.
A positive reaction would've been better.
Do you feel bad though that kids these days...
are less interested in our history?
I know from being in the same class.
They'd rather memorize a mathematical formula.
- It's understandable. - Yes, I know,
but still they're not...
even interested in their history.
When the Office of Education...
hand out history books,
many are left lying around.
Kids don't voluntarily read them.
- They're not interested. - I feel bad about that.
A friend of my father's had a kid...
who is half Japanese.
That friend sat with me...
and some Korean friends once.
The subject of Dok Island came up.
We began talking about the island...
and I knew it was part of Korea,
but I didn't know why.
The Japanese friend was well educated on it,
so he explained why it belonged to Japan.
Meanwhile, my Korean friends...
could only say that it belonged to Korea...
without any explanation.
Until an older student came by to help,
the island belonged to Japan...
just because the Japanese student could explain it.
- Koreans couldn't. - No.
Our parents told us that the island is ours,
but we didn't know why.
- Not accurately. - No, not accurately.
After that happened,
I started studying up on Dok Island too.
The story of Ahn Yong Bok...
I learned in detail thanks to...
Mr. Seol Min Seok's lectures.
You also know many four-character idioms.
Back when I was a senior in middle school,
a teacher approached me...
before I advanced to high school.
The teacher said I'd be using them a lot,
so she gave me a dictionary...
on four-character idioms.
So every morning while doing the deed,
- I... - While on the toilet?
- It's easier to focus. - That's right.
I don't try that hard to memorize them.
It's just so that I can kill time.
Anyway, that...
I love these idioms though...
because people these days use abbreviations...
for everything,
and these are abbreviations too.
- Yes, of course. - Right?
Once, I said that I was in a predicament...
when I got lost on the streets in Korea.
A predicament?
With the idiom, it's easy to explain.
That's right.
Also,
I found them interesting because...
they all have a story behind them.
They give you lessons on life too.
You're enlightened by them.
My favorite idiom is "Being forever grateful".
When our family first came to Korea,
we received help financially...
and also in other ways.
Many people helped us adjust to the culture too.
I'm still so grateful for that...
that I wish to return the favor somehow.
It's also similar to "Returning the favor".
- That's right. - However, I liked...
how the former one is about engraving...
one's gratitude on his bones.
Yes, that's what it means.
So that is my life's motto.
Your life's motto.
Hyun Moo, do you have one?
Which one do you like?
For me, it'll be "gojingamrae".
- "Gojingamrae"? - What?
Right, "gojingamrae".
"Every cloud has a silver lining."
Yoon Hee, what about you?
I like one that I've heard the most.
"Talented in many ways".
(I'm talented in many ways!)
Let's just move on, shall we?
Asking her to explain...
- will only make us sweat. - I approve though.
Okay, Yoon Hee. We get the picture.
So Josh is still a newlywed who is...
enjoying his third year of marriage.
He married a famous Korean chef.
That's right. My wife's Gabie Kook.
We actually met in America.
- Really? - We met in Los Angeles.
I was there to host an event,
and my wife was there to cater the VIP hall.
- With Korean food. - We met accidentally...
and I fell for her in two days.
In two days? What drew you to her?
We got talking and found out...
that we were so compatible.
I honestly believe that it's crucial...
for couples to get along like that.
I'm not even on the same page...
with my parents sometimes...
since I've been living in Korea for too long now.
- Exactly. - I'm not exactly...
English anymore, but I'm not Korean either.
I was still able...
to experience different culture...
and I have a lot to take away from them.
It was the same for my wife too.
She lived for a long time in Spain and Argentina.
(Gabie experienced a lot of different culture too.)
She moved around even more than I did,
so we had a lot in common.
- I can see that. - In terms of culture.
- Right. - We got along so well.
How long after did you get married?
We married after a year of dating.
Who proposed?
Of course it was me.
I've always wanted to do...
a surprise marriage proposal.
- There's even a video. - So I did.
- There's a video? - Yes, of the proposal.
You must really watch a lot of his videos.
- Well... - Tell me about it.
I set the alarm after hitting subscribe,
so I never miss his videos...
- when he uploads them. - I'm sorry,
but can't you read your script...
that eagerly too?
Yes, he's right, you know.
(He suddenly reads the script.)
We're way past that part.
- You're still there? - That's for the opening.
I'll do better from now on.
Sam, thank you.
(Sae Ho, read the script more.)
I'm glad he said that.
(Josh traveled 27 hours to propose to Gabie.)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E25 Happy Together S4 "I Live in Korea Special Part 1" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(The surprised proposal was a success!)
His videos are so entertaining.
Talking about my wife has me excited.
His videos are fun to watch.
How did your wife react to the proposal?
- She cried. - She cried.
Of course she did.
Can you let Josh talk first?
(Watch that mouth of yours!)
I'm sorry.
- We were asking Josh. - Spoiler alert!
I just enjoy watching his videos so much.
It's also quite romantic...
how you had two weddings.
One in England and one in Jeju Island.
That's right.
It's also quite romantic...
how you had two weddings.
One in England and one in Jeju Island.
That's right. We had a traditional one...
- in an English church. - I see.
Meanwhile, Gabie always wanted to...
get married by the ocean,
so we had another wedding in Jeju Island...
with our Korean friends.
- Outdoors? - Yes, by the sea.
Outdoor weddings are terrible...
if the weather is windy that day.
(Screaming)
- You get splashed. - Right, by the sea.
- A seaweed slaps you. - It can be a mess.
We got married in the rain.
See?
But in the photos we took,
we looked so happy...
despite us being caught in the rain.
I heard you had your soles slapped.
Yes, it really hurt.
Just like the Koreans do it...
- With dried pollack! - Yes, dried pollack.
I thought I was going to die.
I never heard of that tradition before though.
(His feet high-fived the dried pollack.)
The guests told me to lie down on my back.
Yes, and you get your soles slapped.
(Like that, he mastered the traditional wedding.)
From Congo, Australia,
America, Uzbekistan, Russia, to England.
We have guests from all over the world today.
I'm curious as to...
how you first heard about Korea.
Ha Il first heard about it 41 years ago.
(He came to Korea 41 years ago.)
It was back in 1978,
so it was a long time ago.
That's right. 41 years ago, I came to Korea...
as a missionary.
- A missionary? - That's why I came here.
As soon as I graduated high school,
I came to live in Korea.
Back then, I didn't know anything...
about Korea including the language.
It wouldn't have been easy back then.
It was hard to learn about Korea.
Anyway, after doing my work here,
I returned to America,
but I couldn't stop thinking about Korea.
- Is that so? - Korea was...
always on my mind,
and I just wanted to come back here.
I missed the friends that I made here,
and my interest for Korea peaked as well.
- Really? - So after...
I became an international lawyer,
I decided to work again in Korea as one.
Sam, what's wrong?
Are you a lawyer?
I thought you were a TV personality.
- Are you a lawyer? - Sam!
- Seriously? - He's a lawyer.
I also knew about that.
You don't seem like a lawyer at all.
You thought he was a TV personality?
Did you think he was a comedian?
- Yes, in a way... - Hey!
Are you absurd?
Do lawyers get physical like that?
He's an international lawyer.
Just so you know though, I'm petrified...
of those who bring me documents.
(The lawyer is terrified of documents.)
Whenever Ha Il appeared on TV,
he was introduced as an international lawyer.
How did you first get to be on TV?
I was working as a lawyer in Busan.
(Ha Il, the lawyer)
The Busan division of MBC...
was next to where my office was.
So during my lunch hours, I'd go outside and meet...
some people from MBC.
Then we had a meeting.
They asked me to join their TV show.
"It can be as short as five minutes."
That's how they convinced me.
I always skipped work...
when I worked as a lawyer.
- I went to shoot. - You were on the show.
That's when I started to appear on TV shows.
I didn't know that I have to shoot for...
3 to 4 hours just for that 5 minutes of the show.
So I kept doing that for a while.
Somehow people in Seoul got to know about me.
I remember Ha Il as...
someone very rare.
It wasn't easy to find a foreigner speaking Korean.
On top of that, he speaks a dialect too.
It was very shocking.
Not many foreigners know Korean dialects today too.
That show started to get popular in Busan.
He came to Seoul because his program got popular...
- from Busan. - That's right.
Which TV show did you start in Seoul?
- I were in many shows. - Many shows?
- Yes. - I was in so many shows.
I'm sure Ha Il was in...
almost all variety shows in Korea then.
- Yes. - He was so popular.
("Family Arcade" 23 years ago)
(First variety show, "Real Life Experience")
(Ha Il even starred in comedy shows too.)
- Yes. - I was in many shows.
Do you still work as an international lawyer?
No, why would I still work as a lawyer?
It's boring.
It's boring?
No, let me clarify.
What have you been doing if you quit your job?
Did you return them your license?
Be quiet.
(Sam, be quiet.)
- When I started... - My goodness.
my career as a lawyer,
(When he started his career as a lawyer)
I had a dream as a lawyer.
I wanted to defend...
for innocent people.
- Yes. - "He's not guilty!"
I wanted to defend for innocent people.
But when I worked as an international lawyer,
it wasn't what I expected.
I had to write contracts in the office.
I had to go through...
boring documents.
So I found it boring.
He only did paper work.
Joining TV shows was way more entertaining.
They paid me a lot too.
That's crude for a lawyer.
They pay lawyers a lot too,
but lawyers don't get to shoot commercials.
No commercials.
So that's why he changed his career.
Sam's right about you.
You're now just an entertainer.
I am that too.
But that doesn't mean...
you are still a lawyer.
I'm not a lawyer. I run a school.
He runs a school.
Let's stop talking about your career as a lawyer.
You're not a lawyer anymore.
But I have the license!
Why is he so angry?
It should be "A former international lawyer".
We'll put subtitles for you.
Thank you.
Please add subtitles.
All right.
Sam studied Korean since he was in college.
- In Australia, right? - Yes.
When I went to school back then,
we had to choose...
either French or German for foreign languages.
After I was done with my high school,
my grade was bad.
I had to study in community college.
I realized it as I studied international trade.
I learned that it wasn't useful...
for me to learn European languages because...
Australia was closer to Asia than Europe.
That's right.
I thought it would be more useful to learn...
an Asian language for more job opportunities.
He looked ahead to this.
Sam was smart.
That's why we're here together.
- That was fast. - Everyone...
learned Japanese then.
I've been familiar with a lot of Chinese...
in Australia since I was young.
I didn't even know where Korea is.
I knew nothing about Korea.
I thought it would...
make me stand out if I wrote on my resume...
that I can speak Korean.
- That makes sense. - It could be my strength.
"What? He speaks Korean?"
- "Let's interview him." - Yes.
That's why I started learning Korean.
It's still Blue Ocean.
I studied it for about a year and half.
I came to Korea as an exchange student.
- As an exchange student? - Yes.
I studied in Korea University...
for about a year.
That's when I met my girlfriend.
- You mean your wife? - Yes.
That's where you two met.
We've known each other for over 20 years.
I came back to Korea after graduation.
(He came back to Korea as soon as he graduated.)
Is that why he feels distant...
from Hyun Moo?
You feel distant? Like how?
It's because he studied in Korea University.
- Honestly... - Oh, Korea University.
He's from Yonsei University.
Ha Il's from Yonsei University too.
That's why I feel distant.
- You didn't study hard. - What did you say?
(You should have studied harder.)
My college asked me to choose between...
Yonsei and Korea Universities.
So I asked them what kind of people go to Yonsei.
What kind of people go to Korea University?
They said...
it's better to learn Korean...
- in Korea University. - Who said that?
- My college in Australia. - Really?
They said...
that people in Yonsei don't really study hard.
All they do in Yonsei is wasting time.
No way.
- It's true. - He's from there, right?
There are many students...
who study in Yonsei Language School...
- during summer. - There are many students.
But they can't resist Hongdae's temptation.
- That's right. - Hongdae's temptation?
They don't study and just hang out in Hongdae.
But there's nothing in Anam.
I had traditional drinks...
in Anam-dong.
That's right.
It's really nice there now.
- There was no subway. - You're right.
- Really? - No subway back then.
They didn't have subway in my days.
There was subway when I studied there.
You have a special background.
You majored linguistics in Korea University,
but you learned from Yonsei first.
That's right.
I studied Korean in Yonsei Language School.
Good job.
But I finished my course in Korea University.
Why did you do that?
Honestly, Yonsei Language School...
was more well-known...
- during my days. - Of course.
There's this competition too.
- However... - It goes without saying.
Listen until the end when someone speaks Korean.
You're right.
I got admitted to Korea University.
The friends there asked me.
I didn't know that these two colleges are rivals.
I didn't know that there's competition between them.
I didn't know about Korea Yonsei Competition.
- That's the wrong name. - See how he reacts!
He's very sensitive.
- She's so right! - Yonsei comes first.
This is the foreigner version of "Sky Castle".
This is Korea versus Yonsei.
Goodness.
It's about getting into a prestigious...
- language school. - No!
Korea University won for many times...
during Korea Yonsei Competition.
I see.
Yonsei is way better. You're not in my league.
Korea University was good in sports.
- Really? - Yes.
So when I studied there, my friends asked me...
"Where did you learn Korean?"
I told them I studied in Yonsei Language School.
They became all quiet.
They're all from Korea University.
I didn't know about the competition.
"Yonsei Language School is well-known."
They got upset. I must have said something wrong.
But you didn't know about it.
I thought I said something wrong.
I didn't know about it because I just got there.
I didn't know about Korea Yonsei Competition.
It's Yonsei Korea Competition.
It doesn't start with Korea University.
Korea Yonsei Competition.
That's when I learned that they're rivals.
There's competition between them.
It's Korea Yonsei Competition.
When they did sports competitions,
pharmacies in front of Korea University...
didn't sell ointments to Yonsei students.
They said, "There's no ointment for Yonsei kids."
They flipped the words.
Yonsei kids had to yield to get that ointment.
(Yonsei kids had to yield.)
(It's really fun.)
It was really childish.
There are rival colleges in your own countries.
- Is there one in England? - There is one in England.
Oxford versus Cambridge.
- Those two colleges. - They're very fierce.
How do Oxford and Cambridge...
compete with each other?
As they said earlier,
they care so much about naming orders too.
For instance,
they're not welcomed in competitors' schools.
Ask everyone. It's Yonsei Korea Competition.
It's Korea Yonsei Competition.
How is it like in England?
I don't know because I didn't go there.
(He wants to know it too.)
It was funny.
He's right.
He is right.
He wouldn't know it because he didn't go.
My bad.
Not every English man knows about it.
Josh went to Korea University too.
- Really? - Really?
We went to the same place.
I went there 10 years after Sam's graduation.
I see.
Angelina, did you go to any language school?
I studied in Saint Petersburg.
Saint what?
Saint Petersburg?
Yes.
Can I speak in English?
(They're all nervous.)
St. Petersburg University...
of Interior Design and Technology.
(I see.)
I have a question.
Your English pronunciation's amazing.
- She's good. - She is.
He approves...
- her English. - "It's amazing."
Thumbs up.
- Thank you. - Speak American English.
Speak American English.
- No Russian accent. - We should explain...
what it means for her.
Not English accent, American accent is good.
(Good pronunciation)
I majored in interior design...
and technology in Russia.
(She's good as expected.)
I studied it before I came to Korea.
We started it with...
how fierce their competition is...
between two colleges.
We ended it with Ha Il's comment on her English.
(Your English accent is amazing.)
Yes.
Is it true...
that you introduced Korean culture...
to the main cast of "Avengers"?
- Yes. - That's cool.
Really?
You should get an award.
We should designate him as an ambassador.
I just introduced...
Korean food...
and talked about Korea.
I introduced it to...
the main cast of "Avengers".
I introduced it to Ryan Reynolds too.
He had rice wine with him on a boat in Han River.
- He fed Ryan pajeon. - Really?
You fed him pajeon?
You fed Ryan pajeon?
I thought they would be...
- very picky before I met. - Yes.
They are famous stars.
But after I met them,
they weren't picky at all. They finished all food.
They loved Korean food.
- I watched it too. - You did?
- He's amazing. - Thank you.
It's amazing.
When they come to Korea,
they have to do so many interviews.
- Their schedule's tight. - It's really tight.
They only stay at hotels to do interviews.
All they do is promoting.
They don't have much time to learn about...
Korean culture even if they want to.
So we decided to introduce about Korea.
I tell them about Korea in English.
I tell them how it is here.
How did Benedict Cumberbatch react...
when he had gimbap?
He loved it so much that he finished it.
He loved banana milk and Milkis drink.
- Milkis? - Really?
Banana milk is everyone's favorite.
They don't have banana milk there?
We don't have it.
There's no banana milk outside Korea.
Really?
Milkis is...
a fascinating drink.
It's something you can't really imagine.
It's like mixing Sprite with milk.
That's right.
It's something we can't imagine outside Korea.
- It's fascinating. - They loved it.
I wondered if it's okay...
to drink them together like that.
- You thought it at first. - Yes.
But it's okay.
I haven't tried it yet.
- You haven't tried it. - No.
What's your favorite? Do you like banana milk?
I like rice wine.
(She likes rice wine.)
She likes rice wine.
She'd protect her stomach with banana milk.
Sae Ho asked her if she likes banana milk.
But Angelina was like, "Are you kidding me?"
I'm joking.
What kind of food do you have with rice wine?
I like to have pajeon with rice wine.
So Angelina likes rice wine.
It goes well with pajeon.
Isn't rice wine worse for your stomach?
You look like some...
master of traditional drinks.
I make rice wine myself.
You're like some master of rice wine.
I'm sure English people know Korea well enough.
I think it's still a long way to go.
- Really? - What else can we do?
There are Korean branded TVs.
There are Korean branded cellphones too.
But they don't know that they're from Korea.
They view those goods as one of Asian products.
They still don't know much about Korea yet.
But Korean food is growing big.
It's growing big there.
It's very popular there.
I wish they know more about Korea.
Ha Il, you are very...
concerned about your son.
My son is driving me crazy.
- Why? - He's in a university.
He has been studying for six years.
He's still in sophomore year.
- What? - Really?
My goodness.
He must be very scholarly.
He takes a break after one semester.
He repeats it over and over.
I get why you are so worried.
Is there any reason?
Why does he keep taking breaks?
He is studying abroad...
in a foreign university.
He said he can't live outside Korea.
He wanted to take online courses in Korea.
He promised me that he would finish...
bachelor's degree that way.
Then he quit after one semester.
- Online courses? - Yes.
He doesn't even study hard for online courses.
He wants to be an entertainer for TV shows.
He's interested.
He wants to join TV shows.
It's not working well although it's his dream.
But he's very good-looking.
I'm sure he will do well.
Are you not happy about it?
If he wants to do it, he has to do something.
He has to either study or do something about it.
All he does is fooling around.
You get mad when you take elevator with your son.
My wife has the same habit.
She looks in the mirror in the elevator.
My son looks in the mirror in the elevator too.
He touches his hair.
He doesn't press the buttons.
You can press it for him.
We live on the top floor.
It won't go down to the ground floor.
I'm too ashamed...
to face this as a father.
I ask him, "Would you press the button?"
I have to tell my son about this.
He's so into the mirror.
He's very interested in how he looks.
- He's handsome. - He is.
He's as good-looking as an idol singer.
He's very handsome.
- Gosh, he's handsome. - He's an idol singer.
He doesn't look like you at all.
Look carefully!
He's upset again.
- No! - He's good-looking.
You're good-looking too.
I looked better than him when I was young.
My goodness.
How old is he?
Angelina asked how old he is.
He was born in 1994.
- 1994? - Yes.
- I was born in 1996. - Perfect!
- She's born in... - 1996.
I'm sorry, but my son likes older girls only.
You should ask your son.
So what if he's good-looking?
I tell Sam,
"it will happen to you too."
- William and Bentley? - Yes.
- He's a good guy. - Yes.
He doesn't study at all.
He only fools around.
You know how much of my money he spends?
- Did you him credit card? - I did.
- That's very wrong. - You can't give him that.
That scumbag took it away from me first.
Don't curse at your son.
Angelina was shocked to hear him swearing.
That scumbag stole...
my debit card for one year.
He withdrew money from the account...
that I don't really use.
It was a different account from MBC.
(Something sounds wrong.)
You can say the name here.
You just mentioned MBC anyway.
We're in KBS.
I know it, you scumbag.
You should stop swearing.
I'm just kidding. I didn't use...
the account for MBC because I wasn't...
- so active. - So you left it as it is.
So I left it as it is.
One day, my manager said that...
we need to check if MBC's pay was transferred.
So I inserted my bank book in the machine.
It didn't come out right away.
It kept recording withdrawals.
"It can't happen!"
I know.
He kept withdrawing my money in Gwangju.
How much did he withdraw?
He withdrew about 8,000 dollars in total.
He spent it all in just one year.
So I confiscated the debit card.
I gave him another credit card instead.
You gave him another card?
It works now...
- because they sent texts. - They send texts.
What would you do...
if William and Bentley did that?
They have to do part-time jobs in high school.
- In high school? - Yes.
- No way. - Why not?
You are still so sweet to your kids.
Would you be still sweet to them...
when they go to high school?
You can't do that.
It's like Ha Il's cursing at Sam.
He's a villain.
- My goodness. - He's a villain.
Could you please change my seat?
It's too late now.
My ears hurt.
Your son always takes everything serious.
I know it won't happen, but what if...
he spends 10,000 dollars without your permission?
10,000 dollars with my credit card?
Isn't that too much?
The value of money...
might be different when he grows up.
Different value of money?
But 10,000 dollars is still a lot.
What if he wants a TV that costs 23,000 dollars?
What if he uses your credit card like that?
What would you do?
As Sam said,
I wouldn't give my credit card to my son.
What if he steals it?
- If he steals it? - He can steal it.
If he takes it from my back pocket?
I should call the police.
- You'll call the police? - Yes.
I should teach him a lesson.
I'll let him know what he did is wrong.
- That's right. - Of course.
I wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
My son didn't steal it.
Let me tell you what happened.
When we were at a restaurant,
I gave my son my card to pay at the counter.
Then I forgot about it. He never returned it.
Don't let go of your credit card.
What would you do if it happened to you?
He's very smart.
I wouldn't tell my son.
I wouldn't call police. I'll suspend it secretly.
Then I would know how he would react.
What if he starts to steal money from your pocket?
- My pocket? - Inner pocket.
- Inner pocket. - What if he does that?
I will leave home then.
I'd take my wallet and leave.
I'll sleep at a motel.
I won't sleep at home.
I'll tell my wife that I'll be away for a week.
That's very extreme. What about you, Yoon Hee?
I have a daughter.
My husband wants me to be the villain.
I'll be scolding her if she steals money.
How would you scold her?
My girl wouldn't steal.
It's hypothetical. Our kids wouldn't steal too.
I'm not even married yet!
Yoon Hee, it's hypothetical.
I asked Hyun Moo when he's not married.
My husband and I...
tend to be...
Please continue. You think your girl wouldn't steal?
You think our kids tend to steal?
So what's your point?
Yoon Hee!
You're making everyone angry.
Don't steal your grandmother's rings.
You stole them from your grandmother.
She's too selfish here.
Nothing like that will happen to us.
- Let's pray sincerely. - Yes. Let's do that.
You said only bad things about Jai Ik.
Now tell us good things about him, your son.
There are so many good things about him.
He's handsome just like me, his dad.
And he's very good with words.
So I thought he would become a lawyer.
He's good at explaining his position.
However, he didn't get good grades.
So he couldn't become a lawyer.
I asked you to tell us good things about him.
He suddenly said... I was surprised.
It seemed like he'll say only good things.
