It's "Grandpas over Pretty Flowers".
(Soon Jae is only curious about his buildings.)
(No other guest has asked such a question.)
- I don't have any. - Which area?
(You have a building reserved, right?)
(He turns out to be obsessed with buildings.)
(He promised to support his grandson's education.)
(It's still a burden!)
(A very heavy burden)
Back then...
(Kim Sung Eun, who played Midal, is here!)
(She appeared in 30 TV commercials.)
30 commercials?
(She bought an apartment unit at the age of 8.)
(Bitter)
Soon Jae seems...
(Unexpected reality check)
He seemed a little shocked.
(IZ*ONE's "Violeta")
(Dancing in perfect sync)
(Lovely and bubbly)
(Stay tuned for a cheerful time!)
(Happy Together)
The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
(Happy Together)
- It's good to see you. - It's good to see you.
It's good to see you.
We've been having special MCs...
- on our show. - Right.
Today, amazing stars are here with us.
That's right.
The two hottest idol singers...
came on the show as our today's special MCs.
They're amazingly popular.
This girl group won everyone's heart...
with their beautiful faces.
The cute center member of IZ*ONE, Jang Won Young,
and the lovely fairy, Kim Minju!
- Hello. - I wanted to see you.
Thank you.
I heard that Yoon Hee watched the TV show...
the two of them appeared on.
I watched the show with my husband.
We always watched it...
at the bath time for our baby.
While bathing our baby,
my husband left quietly to watch TV.
- To see these two stars. - Really?
- So I had to finish... - Really?
bathing our baby alone.
Didn't you get angry?
Did you invite them to complain about it?
No. I cheered for them.
- I see. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - You two are so pretty.
Why are you dressed like that?
- Can't you see? - No.
- Isn't it obvious? - Not really.
I dressed up as Gu Jun Pyo of F4.
Are you saying that your face is grade F?
What does F stand for?
Does it stand for "full"?
This fur coat and the wig...
were prepared for me when I got here.
Yoon Hee, you're wearing a school uniform too.
I've never worn pigtails since kindergarten.
Really?
You look great.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Do I look okay? - Of course.
You look younger than me.
Oh, my. Thank you.
I just compared you to them.
Won Young may think you look younger than her,
but still...
Gosh. You're so mean.
Why would you get angry?
- Aren't we like a family? - That's right, but...
Family members are stricter to each other.
- Yoon Hee, has it been... - You look great, but...
20 years since you last wore a school uniform?
30 years... Sorry.
(Turning his head around)
Hey.
- In case you didn't know, - What?
everything about you is unlikable.
(Everything about you is unlikable.)
(Me?)
(Your sleazy face, annoying way of walking, )
(and your curly hair.)
(You're totally annoying.)
- Yoon Hee. - "Your sleazy face,"
- "annoying walk," - I didn't mean to...
- upset you. - "and curly hair."
"You're totally annoying."
I really wanted to reenact that scene.
- Oh, I see. - I remember the scene.
It's Geum Jan Di's line.
Your mother was the first one to hear you'd be here.
- Really? - Yes. My mom...
is a big fan of Happy Together.
- Is she? - I'm grateful.
I called her as soon as I checked my schedule...
to tell her that I'd be on Happy Together.
I asked her to watch the show on time.
I promoted the show.
Usually, the families of our guests are happier...
than our guests.
You should tell your mom if you appear on KBS.
Your mother must be watching this.
How about she makes a video letter to her?
- She can just call her. - Is that right?
Then you can just call her.
Won Young, go ahead if you want to.
Okay. Mom, don't worry.
I will take over Happy Together.
(I will take over Happy Together.)
(The queen of acting cute)
Minju, I heard your mother will cheer for you...
through online comments.
My mom has been cheering for me...
since "Produce 48" through online comments.
Did she leave comments?
Yes. I saw some comments like...
"Minju is very pretty."
"I hope she'll make her debut." "Smiley eyes".
She leaves comments like these.
- Was that your mother? - Yes.
Pretending it's not her.
People don't usually use smiley eyes.
- She adds smiley eyes. - Your mother wrote it.
What will she write after she watches this?
"Happy Together is always so fun."
- "Minju and Won Young," - "Both of you,"
- "keep up the good work." - "I wish you health."
- "You can do it." - "Smiley eyes."
"You will take over the world."
(Giggling)
I have good news for Happy Together.
We jokingly said that advertisers...
were paying attention to Happy Together.
And it has come true.
Hyun Moo appeared in a TV commercial...
dressed as Pitiful Seung Hye.
(How does Pitiful Seung Hye...)
(look in the commercial?)
(Son, )
(you look very tired.)
Gosh. That's terrible.
That's her signature facial expression.
- Anyway, it's great news. - Yes.
It's such great news.
- This show has influence. - Seol Hyun appeared in...
a jjajang ramyeon commercial.
Kim You Jung appeared in a pizza commercial.
That's right.
This time, Hyun Moo appeared in a commercial.
You should take it seriously...
when we role play filming a commercial.
I didn't dress up like her to appear in a commercial,
but the advertiser was impressed by...
- Pitiful Seung Hye. - The advertiser saw you.
"I'm going to cast him for the commercial."
- It's hard to believe. - "I don't like him,"
"but I like Pitiful Seung Hye."
"We should cast him."
I hope things like this will happen to us often.
I want to dress up as an extreme character.
Right.
Let me dress up as Gu Jun Pyo.
(I can do anything.)
Exactly.
- A female version of him? - Are you serious?
All right.
They're already here.
- Are they? - They're here.
- Oh, my. - I'm nervous.
They're already here.
Wait. Shouldn't we let them in now...
instead of going there to bring them in?
You're early.
Stop asking questions and open the door.
(Stop asking questions and open the door.)
I think we should open the door now.
You just have to find the door.
Just find the door and come in.
It's an escape room.
We have to find the door.
We have to find the door?
They all look the same. I can't find the door.
(Rattling)
(Soon Jae touches everything impatiently.)
Should we pull it?
(Peaceful)
Sin Gu is clasping his hands behind his back.
(It's okay as long as we go in within today.)
He found the door.
Please come in.
Hello.
Spring has come to Happy Together.
They're stars on the stage with a beautiful scent.
It's "Grandpas Over Pretty Flowers".
("Grandpas Over Pretty Flowers")
He has 64 years of acting experience.
He was in hundreds of dramas, movies, and plays.
The actor with an incredible filmography,
Lee Soon Jae!
(The king of acting, Lee Soon Jae)
It's been 64 years since his debut.
That's amazing.
It just happened.
Among all our previous guests...
- Is he the oldest? - I think he is.
Am I the oldest?
- Is he older than you? - Yes.
Gu, do you address him respectively?
Of course.
(Soon Jae is older than me.)
- Is Park Geun Hyung... - He's younger than us.
- I see. - He's younger than you.
What about Choi Bool Am?
- He's younger than me. - He's younger than Gu.
- Byun Hee Bong too? - Of course.
- Shim Yang Hong? - So is he.
- Yang Taek Jo? - I'm much older than him.
- Kang Bu Ja? - She's younger than us.
Is Sa Mi Ja also younger than you?
She's even younger than Bu Ja.
How about Na Mun Hee?
She's also younger than me.
- Kim Young Ok... - How about Kim Young Ok?
is the oldest among all the actresses...
who are active, as far as I know.
She's even younger than me.
- Really? - Yes.
(Lee Soon Jae)
So you're the oldest entertainer, right?
(He's proven to be the oldest actor.)
I'm the oldest actor.
Among all entertainers in Korea.
Among all actors, not all entertainers.
Song Hae is older than me.
- That's right. - Only among actors.
Only among actors.
He's like the final boss...
- in the acting industry. - That's right.
We used up all the cards we held.
We've tried everything we could do.
We asked about everyone we could think of.
He has 57 years of acting experience.
He's also incredible.
The genius of transformation,
the master of acting, Sin Gu!
(The master of acting, Sin Gu)
I'm especially excited today...
because I have worked with both...
- Soon Jae and Gu. - I see.
Meeting them here makes me want to cry.
I'm so happy to see them again.
Right.
(Soon Jae and Yoon Hee in "The King's Face")
(Have you been well hosting Happy Together?)
(Until now, )
(many things happened.)
(Do not try to avoid them.)
("The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop")
(Since you're diligent, )
(Happy Together...)
(is as shiny as it used to be.)
Didn't you know...
that she was dating Lee Dong Gun?
I didn't know at the time.
- Oh, I see. - I guess they hung out...
without me because I was too old.
We didn't date while filming the drama.
How was Yoon Hee back then?
She was quiet and pretty just as she is now.
But she was meticulous when it came to work.
Thank you.
She's innocent and graceful.
She's called every man's first love.
The lovely actress who'll dominate 2019,
Chae Soo Bin!
Soo Bin came on the show...
- She was a special guest. - not long ago.
- Right. - But she was here...
- only for a short while. - That's right.
That's right.
This is your third time on Happy Together, right?
- Yes. - Exactly.
Maybe she's trying to take Yoon Hee's place.
She comes on our show too often.
- Is that so? - We're grateful, though.
(Watching out for her)
She's watching out for Soo Bin.
- No. - It was a joke.
Since Sae Ho is hot, he can take a break.
- She can take his seat. - No.
That's a good idea.
- I'm feeling cold. - You're hot.
- I'm cold. - You're sweating.
Soo Bin, what do you think?
Would you like to join the show as an MC?
I didn't see you on many variety shows.
If I'm good at it just like you are,
I would think of trying it.
But I don't have that talent,
and I'm afraid of...
- being on variety shows. - Really?
- Yoon Hee was like you. - I'm just like you.
But I'm sitting right here...
with pigtails.
(Laughing)
And she puts a mic on her neck to be funny.
Of course.
She imitates a ship.
(Her ship is always ready to sail.)
She said that she gets nervous...
when she's on a variety show.
But seeing that she comes on the show often,
I think she may be trying to get used to it,
so she can be an MC in the future.
"I'll be one of them."
Since he seems to be too hot...
- Me? - My goodness.
Only you look hot.
Everyone aims to take his place.
- Many stars do. - They want your position.
Lai Kuan Lin has his eye on his position.
Was he just discharged from a hospital?
- Why? - Look at his fur scarf.
(The item used when feeling cold)
- He's feeling cold. - I see.
Tell me if you feel cold. I'll lend it to you.
- I don't need it. - It looks very warm.
All right. Let's move on.
Everyone will be happy to see this star again.
From Midal, the adorable girl...
- we all loved, - It was a long time ago.
she grew up to be an actress.
She's dreaming of another heyday. Kim Sung Eun!
Kim Sung Eun!
- Hello. - It's so good to see her.
I'm so excited to see you again.
Do people still recognize you as Midal?
Since I was very young, and "Soonpoong Clinic"...
was the only sitcom I did back then,
older people can't recognize me...
unless they have sharp eyes.
Young people these days,
who weren't even born at the time,
watch the scenes from the sitcom on YouTube.
They say, "I'm your fan. You're so funny."
My character is loved by the new generation too.
Won Young pointed her finger at herself.
When I appeared on "Produce 48",
I often dozed off at the beauty salon.
So it was hard to do my hair and makeup.
I tried to find a way to stay awake.
And I watched her scenes...
- not to fall asleep. - It was so funny.
I left the beauty salon with a smile.
She's sitting right here.
I'm so excited right now.
You're still so good with words.
- She talked so well. - That's right.
Minju, have you ever seen her character Midal?
I didn't watch "Soonpoong Clinic"...
because it was aired before I was born.
Right.
But I know Midal.
I don't know how I got to know her,
but I do know her.
Some cable channels still air...
"Soonpoong Clinic" from time to time.
There are many memes on the Internet too.
I bet a lot of people know your character.
Didn't you meet Jae Seok quite often...
- Yes, we met often. - back then?
Yes. When I was very popular...
for my character Midal,
Jae Seok was...
an absolute rookie.
That's right.
- The grasshopper costume? - "TV Kindergarten".
I was an unknown entertainer.
Was it before you dressed as a grasshopper?
- Around the time... - No.
He was a grasshopper on "TV Kindergarten".
- Around that time. - Right.
"TV Kindergarten"?
Why are you crying? We should clean this up.
What's the matter now?
(He was called Mr. Peanut.)
(It's time to reveal his embarrassing past.)
I ran into her in the TV station...
- quite often. - We ran into each other.
And when I came back after studying abroad,
I was passing by in a school uniform.
- He was filming... - In Ilsan.
"Infinite Challenge".
I wondered if he remembered me.
- I said hello to him. - Of course, I did.
And he said hi to me so happily.
I was so touched.
When she was little,
I ran into her in the TV station.
She was busier than I was back then.
We said hi to each other.
A long time later, I ran into her again...
on the street.
I'm so excited to see her in the studio.
Jae Seok, who was a rookie back then,
is now called King Yu Jae Seok.
Won Young was also touched by Jae Seok.
- Really? - Me?
Yes.
My group appeared on his show...
- called "Busted!" - I remember that.
All of the staff and cast members ate lunch...
together that day. We had budae jjigae.
While eating, our eyes met.
So I said hello to him.
Then he suddenly called the waiter...
and ordered extra ham and noodles for our table.
- I... - I was so hungry.
I realized why people call him King Yu Jae Seok.
I'm so embarrassed.
- Tell us the truth. - I know what happened.
Won Young, I'm sorry.
- What really happened? - I was...
(The moment he was going to eat noodles...)
about to eat noodles that I ordered,
our eyes met.
Our eyes met while he was eating.
Didn't you say something in your mind?
- Say what? - "Darn it."
Tell us honestly.
All of the staff and cast members ate together.
I ordered extra ham for her table.
"Excuse me. Please give extra ham to that table."
Did Jae Seok pay for the table?
- Gosh, that's... - Did you pay for ham?
Our team paid.
Then why did you ask for more ham?
I only asked...
for more ham.
You should have paid for the ham.
I was going to do that,
but the team had already paid.
He asked for more ham.
There is a story that is as heartwarming as...
- Won Young's story. - What is it?
It was Hyun Moo's passion...
- There is another story. - that moved Minju.
Tell us about that passion.
I was on "Idol Star Athletics Championships".
He did a parody of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
(Ay oh)
(All right!)
(Hyun Moo's embarrassing moment)
- He was hand-syncing, - That's right.
but I thought he was actually playing.
He played the piano and guitar passionately,
so the members and I were moved.
What did the members say?
Some of the members...
are Japanese.
They asked,
"Is he an actor?"
- My goodness. - I told them,
"He used to be an announcer."
"These days, he stars on many shows."
I am no longer friends with that producer.
Why not?
In front of 200 idol singers,
I had to sing live.
I wasn't even allowed to lip-sync.
He demanded that I sing even without a rehearsal.
That's hilarious.
It was touching.
- It was so much fun. - Right.
We usually have a shoot in the morning,
but we haven't had one this early.
- It's practically dawn. - Yes.
Although the show airs at night,
we had to gather at 7:30am today...
- for the shoot. - That's right.
There are always reporters that take pictures.
Today,
when I thanked them, they went,
"Is it because of you the shoot is so early?"
(He was wrongfully accused.)
"No, it's not."
"Isn't it because of your busy schedule?"
They said that.
A reporter did this while taking pictures of me.
(Yawning)
I don't know if they managed to get a photo.
The camera wasn't even focused on me.
(Both of them were yawning.)
There is a reason.
I heard that...
Soo Bin,
Soon Jae,
and Gu...
are in a play.
That's right.
They have a performance after the shoot.
I see.
I was surprised to hear that.
Aren't you two tired?
- Aren't you tired? - Are you all right?
They have so much energy.
Even if I am tired, I have to work.
(Even if I am tired, I have to work.)
Still...
It won't be right to say,
"I can't do it because I am tired."
Gu said this...
when he saw me today.
"Gu, have you been well?"
"Yes. End the shoot by 11am."
Really? We must make it happen.
We must make it happen.
- We must listen to Gu. - I can't believe...
he told me that.
We will be able to go home and sleep.
Let's keep the shoot short and sweet.
If we finish by 11am and go home,
we can have breakfast and go back to bed.
It will be nice to sleep after breakfast.
I was just joking.
The play is called "Grandpa Henry and Me".
- Yes. - Please tell us about it.
Well,
a college student named Constance...
who hasn't found her dream yet...
begins to live at Grandpa Henry's place.
The generational gap...
the two characters have...
closes.
It's a play...
that is fun and healing.
How was it to act with Soon Jae and Gu?
Their passion...
- is incredible. - The two of them...
are amazing.
They never show...
their exhaustion or tiredness.
Among us, they look the least tired.
You are right.
We are the ones who are falling over.
Seriously. Among the staff...
and us, they look the least tired.
They are the most energetic.
When did you wake up today?
- Today? - Yes.
I got up at 5am.
(He got up at 5am.)
- How about you, Gu? - I got up around 5am.
When you are old, you don't need much sleep.
I went to bed at 2am.
(He went to bed at 2am and woke up at 5am.)
That means...
you only got three hours of sleep.
I came home late last night.
And I don't go to bed right away.
I watch sports.
- You watch TV. - Then...
I watch movies...
that play on TV.
I see familiar faces in them.
Before I knew it, it was 2am.
Then I got some sleep.
Here is what's funny.
Old people don't need a lot of sleep,
so my wife wakes up first.
She wakes up around 4:30am.
She walks around at that time.
When it's 5:30am, she kicks me awake.
(It's a morning kick.)
Oh,
does your wife kick you awake?
My goodness.
I am shocked.
Soon Jae gets kicked awake.
It's not a strong kick.
It's like tickling.
Soon Jae, I heard there is something...
you want to tell the younger celebrities.
That's right.
The recent events didn't occur...
among actors, but singers.
The life of a celebrity...
comes with fame.
Back in the days,
fame didn't bring in...
- much money. - That's right.
Gu and I...
acted all our lives.
But neither one of us...
has a building.
Neither one of us has a small building...
even though we worked all our lives.
Things are different these days.
Fame is profitable.
After a few commercials, you get a lot of money.
No one elected us,
but our jobs make us...
- a public figure. - Yes.
What we do...
could effect our audience...
- and teenagers. - That's right.
That's the problem.
What happened...
will be met with justice,
but I am concerned that people have a wrong idea.
The ones I see on the news...
should leave the industry.
That's what I think.
The important thing is...
how you carry yourself...
when you gain fame.
Younger celebrities should be more mindful.
(Younger celebrities should be more mindful.)
- You are right. - You are right.
It's what we should remember.
- His words are... - But...
you are doing fine. Seriously.
- You are too kind. - How many shows?
- What? - How many shows?
- Shows? - Yes.
I am on four shows.
(Whispering)
Do you have a building?
(Do you have a building?)
(He suddenly asks Jae Seok about his property.)
It seems like...
you are obsessed with buildings.
His major interest is buildings.
He keeps talking about buildings.
Are you sure...
you don't have a shopping arcade?
- A shopping arcade? - I don't own any.
Are you looking to buy something?
I have no knowledge in that area.
Otherwise, I would have become rich.
For 30 years, I visited the folk village.
It was an empty field back then.
Had I had knowledge in real estate,
I would have bought a piece of land there.
Why didn't you do that?
This isn't my business, but...
Gu, don't you have a piece of land there?
I don't have a piece of land anywhere.
"I don't have a piece of land anywhere."
(He doesn't have any.)
I think...
Soon Jae would have earned 10,000,000 dollars...
had he had his heyday now.
He would have earned more money.
Had we entered the world a bit late...
and worked hard,
we would have found success.
That's right. You were in many works.
It's the age of uniqueness these days.
Actors who play villains are popular.
- That's right. - Yes.
People who make me wonder how they became actors...
are successful.
I can't give names though.
It would be great if you give names.
This is what he said in his interview.
He is busy now, but he only slept...
five hours a week at home when he was young.
But he could barely afford a house in 10 years.
- It was like that. - That's what he said.
There was a group...
with Lee Nak Hoon, Kim Seong Ok,
Oh Hyun Kyung, Kim Dong Hoon,
Kim Soon Cheol, and me.
Most of them lived in a rented apartment.
(Most of them weren't well-off.)
It was after 10 years...
they purchased an apartment.
- I see. - It was after 10 years...
I purchased an apartment of 82 square meters.
It was only possible...
because I lived frugally all my life.
I am sure you can't imagine it.
I see.
It was the reality back then.
Even in your next life, you want to be an actor.
Isn't it nice now?
(Isn't it nice now?)
- Isn't it nice now? - You are suddenly angry.
It's true.
You weren't an actor,
but you're a top MC.
- In your next life... - You have buildings.
I...
(I bet you do.)
Are you looking to buy buildings?
- Seriously. - I don't have buildings.
You have them reserved, right?
No.
(I bet you did.)
(He is obsessed with buildings.)
He keeps talking about buildings.
- He is obsessed. - Even in my next life,
I want to be a comedian.
That's right.
Do you want the same face?
- Can I change my face? - Yes.
- Then... - You can change it.
I don't want my mouth to protrude so much.
I don't want my teeth to be so crooked.
I should have gotten braces.
Your teeth are perfect for a comedian.
But I don't want them to be so crooked.
How about you? Will you be an announcer?
Even in my next life, I will be an announcer...
who goes freelance after seven years.
I want to try...
two aspects of life.
Now, we should take a look...
at Midal's legendary clips.
We must see them.
Are there episodes you remember?
I didn't monitor the show back then.
- I was busy with school. - You were too young.
It was only recently...
when I saw Midal's highlights...
- on YouTube. - That's right.
(She watches her clips on YouTube.)
What fans remember the most are...
the scenes with Midal's singing competition,
(Singing competition episode)
- Grandpa Mangtae, - Summer break homework.
(Grandpa Mangtae episode)
- summer break homework... - Summer break homework.
Stop crying!
There is also an episode...
where she is loyal to Tae Ran.
The fans remember the episodes...
- better than I do. - Right.
Fans watch them many times over.
I remember one episode where Midal gets drunk.
That's right.
She ate plums in alcohol.
- It was so funny. - You watch TV all day.
I mean...
I loved it.
Let's see the clips.
My goodness.
(Midal, imitate your grandpa.)
No, no.
Yong Nyeo, Yong Nyeo!
(Yong Nyeo, Yong Nyeo!)
Imitate your dad.
(Imitate your dad.)
(Father-in-law, don't do that!)
This one is really funny.
(Your zipper is down!)
The singing competition.
(Pull it up!)
(Like this?)
She is missing her front tooth.
(Not your hands!)
(Put your hands up.)
(Waving)
(That's not it!)
She is really cute.
She is a good actress.
- They were like a family. - I know.
- How cute! - They were like a family.
They really were like her real parents.
Do you remember your popularity?
- I bet it was insane. - I remember.
You couldn't go anywhere.
I couldn't go anywhere.
I had a lot of events in the countryside.
I had fan signing events around the nation.
A fan signing lasted about 2 to 3 hours.
The line was unending.
You signed for 2 to 3 hours...
- at that young age. - Yes.
If it was a big event,
security guards had to carry me...
through the crowd.
Back then, I filmed...
about 30 commercials.
About 30 commercials?
The family filmed a car commercial.
There was that.
I was also in a commercial for an air conditioner,
which usually doesn't go to a child.
I was also in a commercial for a car.
I was in all sorts of commercials.
You must have earned a lot of money.
It went into the apartment and my dad's business.
I also used that money to study abroad.
You bought an apartment at the age of seven.
- The age of 8. - The age of 8.
At the age of eight, you earned enough money.
A toy apartment is expensive at that age.
It's big enough for world news.
A girl buys an apartment at the age of eight.
A girl becomes an owner at the age of eight.
It seems like Soon Jae is shocked...
by the reality.
(He is shocked by the reality.)
He is a bit shocked.
She bought an apartment at the age of eight.
He told us earlier that...
celebrities back then...
had to save up for 10 years...
- to buy an apartment. - You were born too soon.
The world has improved.
(He remains calm.)
Sung Eun, you were happy to be popular,
but there were times rude fans frustrated you.
Yes. Back then,
celebrities and fans weren't very close...
to each other.
The Internet or SNS wasn't so widely used...
back then.
At events or on the streets,
people pinched my cheeks. "How cute!"
People pulled my hair...
- and slapped my bottom. - That's right.
Such behaviors are unimaginable now,
but they were quite frequent back then.
There is one incident that got burned...
into my memories.
My eyelashes are long.
- They are naturally long. - That's right.
One middle-aged woman said,
"You are wearing false eyelashes."
Why would a child wear false eyelashes?
"Are these yours?"
- She pulled my eyelashes. - What?
For goodness' sake.
When she did that, I said,
"It hurts. Don't do that."
She said, "Hey, this is fan service."
She made me think...
I had to endure those behaviors.
"Otherwise, people won't like me."
- You were too young. - "It's rude to object."
"I have to endure it even if it hurts."
- How is that fan service? - That's not right.
She was hurting you.
You should have said, "Don't be a fan then."
You were too young.
Did you have an encounter with rude fans...
- back in the days? - How was it?
Back in the days, fans kept their distance.
They didn't approach celebrities.
They rarely asked for an autograph.
Did you turn them down?
I didn't turn them down,
but they rarely asked in the first place.
Older celebrities went, "Go away, go away."
"Go away."
- "Go away." - "Go away."
- My goodness. - "Go away."
When older celebrities were gathered around,
they wanted to appear serious.
When someone approached them,
they went, "Go away."
We had to be mindful of the older celebrities.
It was like that back in the days.
- That's... - That's how great...
the distance was...
- back then. - Things were different.
- A great distance. - Things were different.
Fans rarely approached celebrities.
They simply watched from afar.
When you walked down the street,
didn't people yell, "Soon Jae, sweetheart"?
- Yes. they did. - I knew it.
Didn't people yell, "Gu, sweetheart"?
"Gu, sweetheart."
(Gu, sweetheart.)
I am not a sweetheart.
(He criticizes himself.)
- "I am not a sweetheart." - "I am not a sweetheart."
They are hilarious.
They really are hilarious.
I don't feel the generation gap.
These days, "old fart" is used as an insult.
- It has always been used. - That's right.
Did old farts exist back in the days?
- Of course, they did. - I see.
It's not a modern creation.
Whom did you call an old fart?
Here is what I think.
(Shin Gu's "Old Fart 101")
Old farts insist on their views...
(They insist on their views.)
and fail to communicate.
Rude too. I don't think they should be that way.
It's better to interact with younger people...
and understand them.
If you keep yourself open,
you won't be called an old fart.
Do you ask younger actors, "When did you debut?"
Gosh, no.
I don't need to know that.
- He does that. - He does that.
(Sae Ho loves to ask that and form a hierarchy.)
He asks every comedian, "When did you debut?"
"When did you debut?" "Back in my days..."
(Footage of Bossy Cho)
(He has made many bossy comments.)
You will be called an old fart right away.
(You will be called an old fart right away.)
That's why his nickname is Bossy Cho.
- Bossy Cho. - The national old fart.
- It's not like that. - The national old fart.
The national old fart!
Bossy Cho!
- Bossy Cho. - It's not like that.
When I see new comedians, I simply wanted to know...
who their colleagues are.
- That's why I ask. - You want to help them.
Yes. That's why I ask.
- Really? - Yes.
In our time, we couldn't go...
near the older actors.
Thus, a distance was inevitable.
We didn't know how to act around them.
Some of them...
greeted us gently...
while some of them didn't.
The latter made me go, "That old fart!"
(That old fart!)
The term was used even back then.
- It has always been used. - That's right.
There is a generation gap within IZ*ONE.
Really?
How old are the oldest member...
and the youngest member?
Won Young, you are the youngest.
- Yes, I am. - Right?
How old are you?
I am 16 years old.
Who is the oldest?
The leader, Eun Bi, is 25 years old.
- That's right. - There is an age gap.
There is an age gap of nine years.
That's pretty big.
Eun Bi was stretching in the practice room...
and she started to sing the "Sailor Moon" song.
"Sailor Moon".
We were like, "Do you know that series?"
- We haven't watched it. - Really?
"She knows that series."
Then one day, we talked about...
our childhood cartoons. Eun Bi grew up watching...
"Black Rubber Shoes".
- "Black Rubber Shoes"? - Ki Young.
That was her childhood cartoon.
The teenage members talked about...
"Yumeiro Patissiere", "Sugar Sugar Rune",
and "Shugo Chara!"
I have never heard of them.
Won Young grew up watching...
What was it?
- What? - "Yumeiro Patissiere"?
- "Yumeiro Patissiere". - "Yumeiro Patissiere"?
It's an animated series about making cakes.
Is Yumeiro the name of the pastry chef?
No, it means "Dream-colored".
"Yumeiro Patissiere". You know,
the childhood cartoons show a generation gap.
Didn't you watch "Sailor Moon"?
No. "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman".
- No. No. - "General Ttoli".
No. No.
(He annoys her.)
Can I hit him?
- With your fists. - "Dodge Danpei".
- "Dodge Danpei". - I was a huge fan.
(The morning sun shines)
(On the boundless sea)
(He brings back the sentimentality.)
How about you, Soo Bin?
- In my time, - Which cartoon?
- I loved "Inuyasha". - "Inuyasha".
- A Japanese anime. - "Inuyasha".
When I was younger,
I loved "Cardcaptor Sakura".
I know that.
- Sung Eun? - I was different.
I loved "Galaxy Express 999".
- Really? - She's like us.
(When the train penetrates the darkness)
(He's running down a memory lane.)
- Kim Kook Hwan sang it. - Right.
And there was a cartoon with goblins.
- "Eun Bi and Kka Bi". - Right. That one.
I know that cartoon too.
Do you get what we are saying?
Do you know "Cabbage Guru and Radish Guru"?
I know them.
Cabbage guru
I don't know that.
(He's embarrassed.)
Every generation grew up...
watching different cartoons.
Do you remember any from your childhood?
Cartoons were... During the Japanese colonial era,
The Japanese colonial era.
I've watched "Sun Wukong".
- "Sun Wukong"? - "Sun Wukong".
When we were young,
we watched a lot of Disney cartoons.
- "Mickey Mouse". - "Mickey Mouse".
- "Tom And Jerry". - "Pinocchio".
- "Pinocchio". - "Snow White".
"Snow White".
They were all animated films.
- Yes. Right. - Right.
The most fascinating thing I've heard from...
elder actors was that dramas were shot live.
Right. It was very fascinating.
I was really surprised when I heard that.
What do you do if you make a mistake?
- It's aired as it is. - It's aired?
It's aired it is. You can't stop the show.
Do you apologize?
- You don't. - You just...
If you miss a line, you just move on.
The assistant producer follows you...
with a script.
When you get stuck, he gives you the line.
In the past, the monitor was small.
So he typed the line...
and projected it onto the screen.
Sometimes, it's not even your line.
When you wave your hand to tell him that,
everything gets aired.
That's really funny.
The problem is this.
You get intimidated to be on a live show.
To get a close-up shot, the camera comes close.
Now, the cameras can zoom in from far away.
But in the past, they moved it close to you.
They can just zoom in to get a close-up now.
But back then, the camera just moved closer to you.
And...
Isn't that "Music Bank"?
How can you act when the camera is in front?
The cameramen used to...
push the camera first and then adjust the focus.
So sometimes, people got hit by the camera.
It came towards you.
But this was the most common mistake.
People sometimes forgot their props...
- and which doors to use. - That happens.
You usually check everything ahead of time.
There was a legendary telephone incident.
I had to answer the phone, but it wasn't there.
- You didn't bring it. - What will you do?
So I just said the line like this.
"Hello?"
(He said hello while holding up his hand.)
- With your hand? - It still got aired.
"Hello?"
Now you have a cell phone, so how nice is it?
There was nothing then.
You should've at least done this.
That's even stranger.
It's better to hide your hand.
- No, this is better. - You should do it fast...
- and hide your hand. - You should do this.
This is strange.
- Everyone can see it. - It's strange.
It was a live show.
There were cameras around.
This is crazy.
Did you experience something like that?
- Did you forget anything? - I...
He doesn't make any mistakes.
I've never acted in a live drama.
I started acting late.
(Sin Gu started acting late.)
There is a generation gap.
There's a generation gap.
I started late.
And I think it actually did me good.
At the drama academy,
I got good acting lessons.
(He started late, but he studied acting well.)
I studied everything about acting.
- He started acting late. - Sin Gu...
was at KBS, and I was at TBC.
I just watched him from afar.
He started acting late,
and there were many talented actors.
He went up one by one, and he became the top.
That's really not easy.
But he's the top star.
No, it's true.
I saw them and realized that they compliment...
each other while not looking at each other.
They don't look at each other.
I am curious.
Sung Eun debuted at a very early age.
I wonder how you first began acting.
I wasn't meant to...
be an actress.
I was very introverted and timid.
I often got beaten up...
at schools and academies.
I was a timid kid who couldn't express herself.
But at home,
I danced to songs on TV.
So my parents thought...
- That you had a talent. - that I had a talent.
They wanted me...
to be more social.
My father was running a business,
and he knew Announcer Lee Sang Byuk.
He suggested that they send me to a school.
- An acting school. - Yes.
I treated the acting school...
like Taekwondo, piano, or art schools.
- It was a hobby. - That's why I went there.
I went there to change my personality.
I sometimes acted as an extra,
and I considered it like a field trip.
My mom wanted me to do it as an experience.
One day... One day, I got a chance...
to audition for "Soonpoong Clinic",
and I got chosen.
- It changed your life. - Yes.
At the time, I was young, and I was unknown.
So I couldn't get sponsors.
But because it was a daily sitcom,
we needed a lot of clothes.
With the currency in 1998,
my parents spent 1,000 dollars.
They went to Dongdaemun and got my clothes.
They prepared the outfits, but you got...
- fired in a week. - I got fired.
- You did? - You got fired?
I got fired because I was terrible at acting.
A girl who is about three years older than me came,
and they shot with her for about a week.
And?
Oh Ji Myeong and Seonwoo Yong Nyeo...
mentioned me again.
They said I suited the character better...
even though my acting isn't too good.
They asked the director to give me another chance.
So things turned upside down again.
So that's what happened.
And that's how I became...
a cast of "Soonpoong Clinic".
Sung Eun, I heard...
you got worried about acting again.
I had to worry.
The last drama I shot...
was tvN sitcom "Potato Star 2013QR3".
After that,
the agency kept looking for work for me.
But things didn't go so well.
And I gave up a little bit.
I thought it wasn't the end of the world.
It wasn't like my life was going to end.
I thought I'd find something I can do.
I had to start earning.
I was over my mid-20s.
So I submitted resumes and had interviews.
I joined a company.
You worked at a regular company?
Yes. I worked as an office worker.
When you first joined that company,
did people recognize you?
At first, the CEO didn't recognize me.
But my colleagues went to him and said,
"Sir, don't you know Midal?"
"Midal!"
I see.
What kind of a company was it?
It was a US college preparatory school.
They teach SAT,
offer online classes,
run co-working spaces.
- It was a company... - It's a big company.
that does many businesses.
I was working there.
The CEO recommended...
that I start a YouTube channel.
- He did? - They had...
- An educational channel. - a recording studio.
They had the equipment and the editors.
He said he would provide all the support.
He said I should start it...
since I have the talent.
- That's great. - He said that.
So I started small at first.
I left the company in good terms,
and he gave me the channel.
- Really? - Yes. He wished me...
good luck with the channel.
He's a very nice person.
- I'm so grateful. - You must be.
- "Lara Channel"? - "Lara Show".
- "Lara Show". - "Lara Show".
What is it about?
At first, I started...
as a beauty channel.
I bought the beauty products,
using the company card.
I compared...
and reviewed them.
Recently, I did eating vlogs.
These days, I mainly do talking.
- You talk now? - Yes.
I heard you gained a lot of fans...
thanks to your YouTube channel.
Yes. I got a lot of fans.
A lot of unbelievable things have happened.
Someone come to my channel.
"I was a big fan of Midal."
"I'm a married woman now,"
"but I really enjoyed watching you..."
"playing Midal."
She said her daughter is in sixth grade.
And her name was "Lee Midal".
"Lee Midal"?
She said she loved Midal so much...
that she actually named her child Midal.
I asked her if she doesn't get teased.
She said everyone loves her.
She has never been teased.
I was so touched and grateful for that.
That happened once.
That's...
It's a heartwarming story.
Happy Together viewers will get curious...
and check out her channel.
- Right. - If you...
enjoy my videos,
please like and subscribe.
All YouTubers say that.
"Please like and subscribe."
You have to turn on the notifications too.
Turn on the notifications.
Soon Jae, don't you want to start your channel?
If you start your channel,
- A while ago... - I will watch it.
- I'd watch it too. - The world has changed.
Now, you can run your own channel.
This is all we knew.
We thought we had to be on KBS to be on TV.
If either of you start one,
I will like and subscribe.
Should we do it together?
- Definitely. - That would be a big hit.
I would love to see Gu going to...
restaurants and drinking with food.
I think it would be really popular.
I want to see Soon Jae's wife...
kicking him to get up.
(He wants to see the morning kick.)
She will kick him every morning.
His wife will only show her feet.
The video starts as Soon Jae wakes up.
"Lee Soon Jae's Good Morning".
That sounds great.
They can be like Mr. Goro Inogashira.
Right.
"Solitary Friends".
- I can take them around. - That sounds great.
You are trying to free-ride.
The work I have now is hard enough.
How about you, Gu?
What do you think about starting a channel?
I don't know what you are talking about.
(It's too difficult for me.)
"Soon Jae TV" and "Sin Gu TV".
How can we build channels?
(I don't have money for that.)
Let's say you have money.
- It got invested. - It got complicated.
You just have to be on the show.
- We will do the set-up. - We'll do the set-up.
I am too lazy.
(He's the coolest man.)
"I am too lazy."
- "I'm busy." - It's over.
We were so close.
- Let's try it again. - Okay.
We are here with the legends.
I heard your family feels reassured...
because of you.
You even pay for your grandson's education.
This is what happened.
It was during his first birthday party.
I was happy.
And there were guests.
So I said it boastfully.
I said I'd pay for his education until he grows.
It's still a burden!
(It's still a burden!)
I've made a mistake.
Education costs...
- so much. - It costs so much.
How old is he?
He just entered eighth grade.
Now, it's going to get really expensive.
That's why I am more worried.
I can't take back what I said.
You can't.
It's like a yoke to me.
(He can't get away from it.)
It's a yoke.
Do you only have one grandson?
Yes.
Will you pay him through graduate school?
I am very worried.
Your eyes became huge. What will you do?
If he's in eighth grade,
he's similar to Won Young.
Yes. I am in ninth grade.
If he starts taking classes,
- It costs a lot. - it really costs a lot.
It costs a lot.
Soon Jae, are you paying for...
your grandchildren's education too?
- It's a similar story. - I see.
My son doesn't have any children,
but my daughter has 1 boy and 1 girl.
One is in college,
and another just got in high school.
My granddaughter is smart,
so she is studying at Cornell University.
Ivy League!
My grandson is...
studying in Deerfield Academy.
Are you paying for their education too?
- Yes. - The entire amount?
The entire amount.
The entire amount?
- That's a lot. - The two of them...
Now that KBS knows it,
they should hire us.
(He asks KBS to hire them.)
Wait.
To pay for your grandchildren's...
- education... - You should really...
start your own channel.
You should start your own channel.
Let's ask them about...
starting the channel again.
Let's give it another try with Gu.
They have to pay for their grandchildren's education.
I feel so sad.
You are doing two plays for your grandchildren.
It's...
(It's sad.)
- That's not it. - That's not it.
That's not it.
I said it at his first birthday party,
and I can't take back my words.
We will promote your play a lot.
- It's a tearful play. - I will be grateful.
Soon Jae... Yes?
I hope you will just keep talking about that.
Soon Jae...
never says things like that.
But he came to me during the break.
"Jae Seok, you should talk about the play more."
That's what he said.
If it's an ordinary play,
I wouldn't dare to ask you to promote it.
But it's a nice one.
We performed the play once...
and it became a big hit.
- Really? - In the past.
Gu and I decided...
that we would participate again if they do a rerun.
You decided to participate in it again.
It's a very good play.
This time, we have a different team.
We are with Kwon Yu Ri...
and Soo Bin this time.
It's worth watching.
- So... - Is it at Daehangno?
- Let me add to that. - Okay.
There's U Theater in Daehangno.
You are very passionate.
- He suddenly... - I was shocked...
- that he leaned forward. - leaned forward.
I was so surprised.
(He suddenly leaned forward.)
(He was burning with the will to promote it.)
(He's the Promotion Fairy.)
(This is niche marketing.)
- You surprised me there. - In terms of sales,
it ranks first among all the plays in Daehangno.
That's great.
(Congratulations on ranking 1st on sales.)
There are 600 seats,
but they all get packed.
- That's amazing. - There's no need...
to promote it then.
- It's doing well. - The more the merrier.
He got upset for the first time.
Don't say that.
- When will it end? - It's already popular.
- May 11? 12? - May 12.
- 12? - 12.
- Mid-May. - May.
- May 12. - May 12.
What Gu just did was so impressive.
"Let me add to that."
(He suddenly interrupted.)
(Soon Jae is satisfied.)
He was too fast.
He was...
I was shocked.
Since we are here, we'll be enthusiastic.
(They will be enthusiastic.)
I heard about this.
Nobody has seen the two of them making mistakes.
Of course.
When we do the play together,
I make a lot of mistakes.
Sometimes they make mistakes too.
- Do they? - Do they?
- That's fresh. - They do.
Tell us about those things.
- But it's so unfair. - This will be a hit.
I make a lot of mistakes.
But sometimes they make a mistake too.
They make a mistake while doing something rehearsed.
When I make a mistake, it's very obvious.
When they make a mistake, it doesn't show.
When they make a mistake,
they make it look like I made a mistake.
(She gets all the blame.)
- It's like this. - They are too good.
Even when he makes a mistake,
I think Soon Jae will cover it up smoothly.
- Nobody notices. - If Gu makes one,
he will say, "I'll do it again."
I think he will do that.
- "Just understand." - "Just understand."
"This is the joy of a play."
(He would suddenly lean forward too.)
Won Young, why did you shower in cold water...
- because of the comeback? - Really?
The agency asked me to color my hair purple.
While doing my hair, the hairdresser said,
"Won Young, I think it will take eight hours."
It took me eight hours to die my hair.
I love taking a shower using warm water.
I did it once,
and the next day I woke up with pink hair.
- You'd lose the color. - That's why...
fans think I got the pink hair.
I spent eight hours to make it purple.
The hairdresser told me to take shower in cold water.
It felt so numb.
Do you still take a shower with cold water then?
Yes. That's why I take a cold shower.
I've changed my hair color many times too.
I now wash my hair and body separately.
I used to wash them together.
- Separately. - I wash my hair first.
Then I wash my body.
- That's one way. - You lose the color.
Does washing it with cold water help?
- Yes. It's much better. - You lose less color.
But doesn't cold water not remove grime?
(Cold water can't remove grime properly.)
I am just curious.
Who's got grime on their hair these days?
- Come on. - Is it the 50s?
Why would you have grime on your hair?
When you use cold water,
your nails don't get clean.
- I am sorry. - Don't tell anyone.
- Okay. - I am sorry.
- I am sorry. - Their new song...
- Right. - is coming out.
I am really curious about it.
Minju wants to show it to the two elders first.
- Really? - That's what she said.
Soon Jae gave us...
the speeches on "Idol School".
He was on "Idol School".
I want to know if he knows about IZ*ONE.
- Right. - I was curious.
- You know them, right? - Do you know?
Yes. What?
What's "what"?
"I know. What?"
(I know IZ*ONE.)
This is what the play is going to be like.
So this is what it's going to be like.
Soon Jae, you know IZ*ONE, right?
I don't know them.
He's very honest.
Yes.
A thousand hearings are not worth one seeing.
Let's watch them in person.
(This is IZ*ONE's second flower series.)
("Violeta")
(You are my Violeta)
(They dance in perfect sync...)
(and exude bright energy.)
It's "Violeta".
My goodness.
That's why they colored their hair.
(Many people are expected to become their fans.)
(Well done.)
("Very, Very, Very" by I.O.I)
I.O.I.
"Very, Very, Very".
(I can't trust you and open my heart)
(It's time to dance to "Very, Very, Very".)
(They are adorable.)
(We can't get enough of IZ*ONE.)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E27 Happy Together S4 "Granpas Over Pretty Flowers Special" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Well done.
What did you think?
They sang and danced. What did you think?
It was fantastic.
- Thank you. - Will it be a big hit?
Looking at their appearance...
and movement,
I think they will be very popular.
You are so different from when you were...
talking about the play.
(The tone of his voice went down.)
- Earlier... - Don't you agree?
When you mentioned the play...
- That speed. - That desperation.
That agility you showed us.
Can't we see it again?
- He sounds different. - How's this?
(The Fairy of Promotions is back.)
That's what I'm talking about.
We're with the sweet grandpas today.
They actually have a lot in common.
Soon Jae was on "High Kick!" and...
"High Kick Through the Roof".
Meanwhile, Gu was on "The Unstoppables".
Sung Eun was on "Soonpoong Clinic".
They are the legends of Korean sitcoms.
- They still are. - All of them.
They're all sitcom legends.
- I still watch reruns. - Me too.
- They're hilarious. - Tell me about it.
I remember you being hard on Jung Bo Seog.
There was an episode that involved him...
asking Bo Seog to make arrangements...
so that he could propose to Kim Ja Ok.
- That's right. - "Spend as much needed."
Bo Seog ended up spending 30,000 dollars.
(He spent a whopping amount!)
30,000 dollars.
(It was too extreme for a 100-day anniversary.)
He booked an entire stadium...
and spent 30,000 dollars in total.
I remember him being angry later.
"What on earth did you do?"
- It was hilarious. - It was so funny.
There was one where he had to hold his fart.
- You know that? - That was hilarious.
I still watch it from time to time.
(Soon Jae had been...)
(holding his fart for a long time.)
My gosh!
(The best fart in a sitcom)
(What's this smell?)
My goodness.
His hair was swept away.
(He still had to bow once more.)
You have to bow twice.
Goodness.
It's really hilarious though.
That sitcom was... My gosh.
Farting scenes weren't allowed in TV dramas.
They weren't allowed in the past.
It never was featured in a scene.
The first time that my character farted...
was on "What Is Love".
- You played the father. - That's right.
I was getting out my shoes to go to work...
and I farted when...
Hye Ja came right behind me.
- That was the first time. - Really?
It was such a clever scene though.
It felt real and realistic.
Comedy should always be based on the truth.
Just exaggerating the scenes won't work.
People only laugh when the scenes seem real.
There's a scene that moved me the most.
I pressured my son into getting a job...
so he got a job.
But then I saw him working as a shoe polisher,
so I made him leave with me.
It was such a touching moment.
It's not always about the jokes with comedies.
Amidst all that laughter,
there must be touching moments.
And that's how...
you convey messages to the public.
The sitcom is a charming genre,
and it's sad that none are airing these days.
- I feel bad too. - It's a genre...
that calls for a talented writer.
Meanwhile, Minju...
You're a fan of Shin Gu's.
The wallpaper of her phone was a photo of you.
Really?
- How so? - During class,
I used to watch videos of the sitcom.
I'd be in the corner trying hard...
not to burst out laughing.
In the episode, he had to hold his laughter,
and him going in the fridge was adorable!
He had to hold his laughter.
I remember that one.
I saved a screenshot of that scene...
and used it as my phone's wallpaper for months.
- You! - Yes?
Even Noh Joo Hyun was hilarious.
(The good old slapstick comedy)
Joo Hyun was...
(He's laughing behind the cushion.)
(The scene is still legendary.)
Mom, your skirt!
(Everyone's laughing at her dropped skirt.)
My goodness!
(He suddenly opens the fridge.)
I can't believe it!
(He bursts out laughing.)
- Get it. - Okay.
(The grandson trips during the memorial service.)
I miss the sitcom so much.
It really was hilarious.
(Everyone's trying hard not to laugh.)
He's laughing.
(They're laughing for real.)
The scene was obviously a blooper,
but they aired it anyway.
We're honoring your grandmother...
(We're honoring your grandmother...)
(The situation can't be settled.)
Joo Hyun was hilarious too.
Bow.
Did you all start laughing for real?
What actually happened?
We were laughing for real.
- Exactly. - Really?
Sae Ho's right about what happened.
- Did that scene air? - Yes, it did.
The scene was a blooper,
but since it seemed so natural...
- They aired it. - Just as it is.
I never got to see that on TV.
- You never saw it on TV? - Why not?
- He was busy. - Not exactly.
What's wrong about not watching it?
- Right? - Yes, of course.
I guess you're right.
Not many watch the shows they're on.
I remember the scene with the saxophone you found.
Your family told you to throw it away,
but you insisted that it could do a lot.
You crushed garlic with it.
"See? It's useful, right?"
In the last scene,
he took it to the sauna...
and used it as a bucket.
(The many ways to use a saxophone)
He also used it as a pillow.
You're still popular, but people especially...
adored you back then.
People love seeing old men be silly.
Instead of stern grandpas,
we seemed silly and mischievous.
Many loved that and found it relatable.
- That's right. - When they aired,
we saw you on many TV commercials too.
- That's right. - Didn't you both...
shoot a lot of commercials too?
We shot more thanks to "Grandpas Over Flowers".
- "Grandpas Over Flowers"? - Park Geun Hyung...
thought we'd shoot 10,
but we only shot a couple.
He thought you'd shoot at least 10,
but you only shot 2 to 3 commercials.
Is this why you've been mentioning buildings?
You must've earned a lot.
I'll have to shoot about 10 to buy one.
Right.
To see you both work in the industry...
for a long time...
while maintaining your health is a dream...
- for all junior actors. - Of course.
I also hope that my husband has...
a long and profitable career.
(All roads lead to earnings with her.)
That just crossed my mind.
- The way you said it... - What's the main point?
Is it his health or his earnings?
You easily made your way to that point.
Wouldn't he be able to stay healthy...
if he earned a lot?
So his earnings are more important.
To be able to work even at an old age...
- is a blessing. - Of course.
That's how it is for us. We need to be on set...
in order to do our jobs.
If we want to work on TV and movie sets,
we must stay healthy.
Take good care of Dong Gun.
Yes, of course.
My wife feels reassured because I can...
bring in money at this age.
Imagine having to lean on your kids.
That's just sad, right?
That really hit me...
about 10 years ago.
I was taking care of my mother back then.
What would happen to her if I couldn't...
bring in any money?
Must my children take care of her for me?
I was so grateful that I was able...
to earn enough money to still take care of her.
Also, I haven't once leaned on my kids...
and that's something my wife is proud of.
I just hope that we can stay healthy...
until the very end.
Being right next to them,
I can't help but be amazed by...
how well they've maintained their health.
Working for over 60 years in this industry...
is not easy at all.
I hear that there's...
a secret to your long career.
I hear that there's...
a secret to your long career.
It's nothing special, but this has been my code.
I don't drink.
You don't drink alcohol.
I quit smoking in 1982.
(The secret to Soon Jae's health)
Those combined have surely helped.
Also, I take after my mother.
My mother passed away at the age of 96.
- She was healthy too. - I'm much like her,
so that probably helped.
You stayed healthy by not drinking and smoking.
Gu, what about you?
What's the secret to your long career?
Just like Soon Jae said,
it's important to always watch your health.
You don't drink or smoke either?
No, I love alcohol.
(I love alcohol.)
I see.
He must've been upset with what I said.
"What do you know about alcohol?"
So he likes to drink.
Do you like a glass or two with meals?
I like going out for drinks with others too.
(He also enjoys strong drinks as well.)
I just like drinking.
Yes, of course.
You should hear the next part.
- The next part? - There's a reason...
why he's stayed healthy though.
- What's that? - What is it?
I always find time to at least walk...
20 hours a week.
(The secret to Shin Gu's health)
I make sure to break a sweat while doing so.
20 hours.
You walk for 20 hours.
That's three hours a day.
It's important to exercise regularly.
Of course.
Many don't do that these days.
It's okay to drink if you workout regularly.
You also drink in a good mood.
Of course.
You always smile when talking about alcohol.
(It's a reflex.)
He smiles even when it's nothing special.
Just so you know,
I'm most delighted when I enter a bar.
I see.
There's one more thing though.
I never contact anyone whom I don't like.
- That's important. - That's why...
I always drink in a good mood.
- Exactly. - It's always enjoyable.
Soo Bin, I hear that you've seen...
Gu drink before.
Yes, I've had drinks with him a few times.
I was startled though.
When I first met them,
we all went to a Chinese restaurant.
The food hadn't even been served yet,
but he drank at least four shots...
of the strong sorghum wine...
with just the pickles.
(Just hearing that makes you dizzy.)
I'm not an expert on alcohol, but...
- 40 to 50 percent. - Isn't it super strong?
I can't refrain myself in front of alcohol.
(Still, he works out regularly.)
It's a strong drink.
He always smiles with such delight...
when talking about alcohol.
Yes, he's like that right now.
His smile is contagious.
He didn't say much but...
He always feels bad for me.
- I feel bad for him. - Sorry?
- He feels bad. - I feel bad for him.
Jae Seok and Hyun Moo don't drink either.
- I can't drink alcohol. - I love it though.
Those who drink always say the same thing.
They do.
- Life... - You don't enjoy life.
"You only know half of what life can offer."
Meanwhile, I love to drink.
(Okay, got it.)
I'd love to take you out for drinks.
At night, he tells me to hurry home.
- Why? - He says I ruin the mood.
That's right.
- I hear that often too. - He says...
he ruins the mood.
It's because we don't drink.
That's what non-drinkers always hear.
- "Go home." - "Go home already."
"Stop eating all the snacks."
Drinkers want to get drunk together.
At our team dinners, only I get drunk,
so I'm told to go home after a while.
I want to enjoy drinks with them,
but no one here drinks.
Goodness.
Soo Bin's expressed her delight...
about working with you both.
How has it been for you two?
She's really talented.
That's how this new generation is though.
Compared to how it was for us,
the younger actors have many more talents now.
I always say that our species have improved.
An improved species?
Moreover, they're much smarter now as well.
The younger generation always amazes me.
I'm always surprised as well.
- But you... Yes. - In the play,
her character needs to play the piano on stage.
- Herself? - Yes.
Really?
I see.
As someone who couldn't really play the piano,
she mastered the song in less than a month.
She made it work.
Did you know how to play the piano?
No, I couldn't even read sheet music.
However, the song I needed to play...
was extremely long.
It was difficult too.
I didn't think I could do it,
but I kept practicing every day.
I did my practicing,
but two days before the play, I found out...
that I only needed to play one-fifth of it.
(She only needed to play one-fifth of the song.)
That's all you needed.
My piano teacher...
who's a songwriter got it mixed up...
and taught me the entire song.
Did you hurt your finger practicing that?
Oh, this.
On the show last time, I played...
- the gayageum. - That's right.
I only can play a little of it...
since it's only a hobby,
but the writers asked if I could play it again.
You played it for us last time.
Yes, but I haven't played it for two years.
I didn't think I'd remember any of it,
so I practiced yesterday. I ended up with blisters.
- Oh, dear. - So it's our fault.
I'm sorry, but the gayageum...
is already being brought out.
I was wondering what she was up to.
She was making a noise.
I was wondering what that was.
- The gayageum... - It's been so long.
She played it for us the last time she was here,
so let's hear it again.
(She'll show us what caused the blisters.)
I don't know if I can do this.
(Proud)
(She's still great at it.)
(Elegant)
She's good.
(At the clear sound of the gayageum, )
(the two elders nod their heads.)
She's good.
(She picks up the speed.)
(Absorbed)
(She ends it with a cute gesture.)
That was great.
Soo Bin, that was great.
You did enough.
That was amazing.
Even Soon Jae...
was nodding to the music.
It looked like you two were also...
touched by the music too.
It was my first time seeing anyone play it.
I see.
It was amazing.
Yes, the melody especially.
It's truly divine when you hear it in person.
It's now for the segment...
Won Young's mom is waiting for.
- Is that so? - It's our...
signature segment.
We erase your dark pasts.
I hear that Won Young's looking forward to it too.
I've seen many videos of this segment.
- I see. - Chaeyeon's...
"I sometimes cry."
- That... - It's legendary.
Cha Eun Woo's introduction too.
- Exactly. - I found...
both of them hilarious.
I've been wanting to have a good laugh today.
Out of everyone here,
Soo Bin has already erased one of hers.
- Right. - That's right.
Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.
(Soo Bin wins.)
I lost. Are you going to hit me hard?
(She hits him with full force.)
(Shocking)
You almost cracked his skull.
Is it better now that we've erased it?
Many know of it more now,
but I'm glad they all enjoyed it.
Every week, we have one guest...
- with a very dark past. - That's right.
Our writers have told me that...
- it's Sung Eun this week. - Oh, dear.
It's what I heard.
I hear you have quite a few.
It's something I said on a talk show...
when I was young.
A few years ago, I appeared...
on a variety show with Sung Min,
the one who played Eui Chan.
I got to watch...
what I had forgotten.
It was when you were young.
I saw it and...
was shocked by what I said.
Since you requested this,
we'll see it first before erasing it.
It didn't seem good at first,
but while working on the series,
I got to kiss and hug Eui Chan.
Just thinking about it...
Where am I touching?
(Where are her hands at?)
My parents started looking for us,
so we hid somewhere.
We hid in a place where no one came...
and he tried to kiss me.
My gosh!
(What a man!)
He said that he didn't like me at first,
but he now does again.
So did you kiss?
We kissed a lot!
(They kissed a lot.)
You kissed a lot.
What's bad about that?
I hate the expression I made.
"We kissed a lot!"
Who knew that Eui Chan was so manly?
Exactly.
What happened though?
I don't know. Even after watching that...
You don't remember because you were young.
We both said that we were crazy.
Out of all the male friends I have,
I've been friends with him...
- the longest. - I see.
He's more like a family member or a friend...
of the same gender.
We both couldn't believe what we heard.
What does it mean though?
We just kissed a lot.
Back when they were kids.
It's from a kid's perspective.
There's also a choice that you regret the most.
What would that be?
It was back in 2010.
I received a movie script for a private audition...
and was practicing at the time.
At the same time though,
I was offered a chance to undergo...
plastic surgery on a show.
- They overlapped. - Right.
I didn't even think twice...
about choosing the plastic surgery.
As you know,
Midal wasn't a pretty character,
and I never felt pretty growing up either.
All women want to feel pretty though.
I wanted a higher nose and a prettier face.
So the decision was made...
when I was young.
I just didn't think twice about it.
The script I received was for "Sunny"...
and the temporary title was also "Sunny".
It's one of the decisions I regret.
Right now, I've already removed...
all of the silicon implants...
that I once had in my face.
I guess my body couldn't handle them.
I also had surgery...
to reconstruct my face...
back to the way it used to be.
After two counts of general anesthesia,
I'm back to square one.
You took out what you had put in.
So this is what I've been thinking.
If I hadn't done the surgery back then...
and filmed "Sunny" instead, what would...
my life be like right now?
Also, I wish I had known...
that not all actresses need to be pretty.
They need actresses with my kind of face.
They need actresses like me.
Why did I only dream of becoming a pretty actress?
It just hit me one day,
and I got frustrated.
I heard that you went through a hard time...
because of your role as Midal.
It felt much harder on me because...
my family went bankrupt...
when I came back from...
studying overseas...
after I was done with...
"Soonpoong Clinic".
When my family went bankrupt,
I reached the age of puberty.
My whole family suddenly had to live...
in a small semi-basement.
I felt like I fell to the ground from the sky.
So that's what happened.
Thirdly, I had to...
transfer to a Korean school when I got back.
Boys of that age are usually naughty.
They tease friends when they're in middle school.
They just hit me with no reason.
They screamed at me.
They called me, "Midal!"
"Where's your dad?"
That's how they teased me.
I've been teased like that very often.
I felt like I was a monkey...
locked up in a cage.
I did say some serious things...
when I was interviewing for "Unanswered Question".
But only that part drew a lot of attention.
Yes, I remember.
People thought that I suddenly turned...
into a different person.
"What happened to this cute..."
"and funny girl, Midal?"
I hated it when people called me Midal.
I said I didn't like...
how I was called as Midal.
I'm sure people who didn't know about...
my family history...
must have been shocked to see me this way.
(She went through a lot.)
I started to feel grateful that...
I could play the role of Midal...
from 4 to 5 years ago.
I stopped fooling around.
When I started to work,
the people around me changed.
I hang out with good people now.
You hang out with good people now?
Yes, I do.
I know this actor who has been acting for very long.
He appeared in many famous movies.
But people don't know his name...
when they see his face.
They would think, "Which movie was he in?"
He told me,
"I've been acting for almost 30 years."
"But people still don't know..."
"what my name is."
"I still struggle a lot..."
"to let people know who I am."
"But you achieved your fame already."
"You were loved by so many people."
"You acted out such a lovely character."
"This fact does not change."
"You should be just grateful and embrace it."
That is what he told me.
So I looked back on my past.
These days, some highlight scenes...
from "Soonpoong Clinic" are getting...
more attention again.
These scenes are really popular now.
I have many fans who are young too.
So I think...
I fulfilled all I want...
when I see kids these days...
enjoy my acting.
That's great.
You look much happier.
You look happier.
- Really? - Yes.
Although you went through hard times,
- you're doing great now. - You overcame them.
She overcame those times by herself.
There are many famous and popular scenes.
I've heard something interesting about Sin Gu.
He doesn't have any dark past yet.
But did you wear a wig on your wedding day?
- Yes. - Why?
Everything is revealed.
It was a few days before my wedding day.
Director Kim Ki Young was filming...
the movie, "Transgression".
My role was a monk.
So I had to shave my head.
My wedding was after shaving my head.
I couldn't get married without any hair.
- I see. - Right.
So that's why I wore a wig on my wedding day.
- Shall we take a look? - What?
(But the wig suits him somehow.)
But it suits him well.
So that's a wig?
- It looks like his hair. - Right.
I can't tell that it's a wig.
You wore a nice wig.
(How did he look without a wig then?)
I can't tell that it's a wig.
(Sin Gu of "Transgression" in 1974)
(They were born in 2004 and 2001.)
- That was in 1974. - My goodness.
It was in 1974.
As we saw your wedding photo,
it didn't seem like you were wearing a wig.
This looks fake to me.
We were going to erase your dark past.
I don't think you want to erase any past.
Did I do anything wrong?
No, it's not about what you did wrong.
He doesn't want to erase the past.
I don't think we need to erase any of his past.
I don't think...
it's right for us to erase any of his past.
I get reminded of Soon Jae...
when I think of wedding ceremonies.
He officiates a lot of weddings for actors.
He's known for his entertaining messages.
It's not that my message is entertaining.
People used to share...
a lot of good messages...
that used flowery words...
for weddings in the past.
But I don't think those words are very catchy.
I learned from my marriage that I should give...
give realistic advice to newly-weds.
So my messages are easy.
I joke with the bride and groom.
- You make it comfortable. - I ask the bride,
"Will you be in charge of your bankbooks?"
Then the bride smiles.
"Don't drag your fight to the next day."
"Finish your fight today."
When I was a young man, I got up late...
after drinking.
I apologized to my wife.
I apologized for three times,
but my wife was still mad. Then she kicked me.
So you communicate with your feet.
I told you.
We don't hold hands.
I use my foot to show how sorry I am.
I apologize to her with my foot.
(Giggling)
But if my wife doesn't accept my apology,
I would get upset.
(Goodness)
Then the fight goes on and on.
I can't work when my wife's angry.
It keeps bothering me.
So I tell newly-weds to not drag the fight.
You two live together. Why drag the fight?
Do you also practice your messages?
- Me? - Yes.
I couldn't do it.
I did many things wrong.
I was saying sorry all the time.
You officiated a lot of weddings.
I did.
Back then,
I officiated nine weddings in one day.
(Nine weddings in one day)
Was it for your popularity?
Luckily, there were four weddings in one spot.
Goodness.
You worked like a robot.
The other five weddings were in the afternoon.
I got there by a motorbike because of the traffic.
To officiate weddings?
I realized, "I'm getting crazy too."
"I'm getting crazy too."
(Side effect of attending nine weddings)
I guess it's not really a dark past.
But Soo Bin has...
a surprising drinking habit.
I thought it was cute.
It's not exactly a drinking habit.
I'm not a good drinker.
My face turns red when I have just two glasses.
My stomach gets upset too.
So I don't really drink often.
When I was about 20 or 21,
I drank alcohol.
I saw clams in the soup.
I thought, "What brought these clams here?"
"Why are they getting boiled in this hot soup?"
So I cried.
(She's cute.)
- You ate it while crying? - I ate it.
(She ate the clams while she was crying.)
But it's delicious.
You can get sentimental when you drink.
Let's erase the dark past for her.
Let us erase it for you.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Minju, do you have dark past you want to erase?
When I was in middle school,
I went for the "Boni Hani" audition.
- "Boni Hani"? - Yes.
Really?
But unlike other auditions,
they did not explain how things work.
When I opened up the door,
it was a studio.
- What happened? - So they asked me...
to do something.
I had to show some skills, and dance moves.
They ask me to do some beautiful poses.
- I did improvisations. - That's hard.
I didn't know it was going public.
They uploaded it on YouTube.
- Really? - I didn't tell...
my friends that I was a trainee.
When my video got posted on YouTube,
my friends all learned...
- They found out. - about this.
You know how there's a TV in classrooms.
They turned on...
my auditioning video there.
(Giggling)
That's what happened.
Shall we watch it?
- Let's watch it. - We have the video.
(Cute)
Aren't you irritated?
(Won Young's imitating her.)
But you're good.
I'm 16 years old.
(I'm the positive girl, Minju!)
(The random dance moves are next.)
But she's talented.
You didn't know that it was filmed?
That was just a random song?
- But she's good. - She is.
(I want to be the new Hani.)
(Thank you.)
Wait. You didn't make it?
- I didn't make it. - Really?
But you did so well.
- They've missed a talent. - They've made a mistake.
I've heard that fans want to erase...
the special talent that you showed.
- I know what that is. - What is it?
I tend to imagine...
things that are ridiculous.
If I see a squirrel...
or a cat,
I think to myself, "What if I copy their moves?"
Sometimes I do...
a dancing monkey that clashes the cymbals.
I imitated...
how a llama eats in a TV show.
- Can you show us? - The llama?
My fans don't like it...
- when I do it. - A llama?
I think I know what she's going to do.
She looks like a camel.
Look, she's doing it.
How cute.
But you're good.
- Could you do it longer? - I did this a lot.
I watched this video.
You mimic a man known for making ajaeng sounds.
He's a Russian man.
His voice sounds like an ajaeng.
(Let's hear him singing.)
(She's imitating that Russian man.)
This is a microphone.
(Singing)
What's that?
(Singing)
- Goodness. - That was great.
- It's very high. - What was that?
- It's the ajaeng sound. - He's the ajaeng man.
- He's Russian. - Right.
You can watch it on YouTube.
- That's how he sings. - It's the ajaeng sound.
Shall we erase it for you?
Yes, please.
- Okay. - We'll erase it for you.
Thank you.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Don't worry. You can relax now.
You can focus on your new song.
- Okay. - Trust us.
We end with the ajaeng.
You two were special hosts today.
How was it, Won Young and Minju?
I heard that many idol singers...
want to join this show.
Thank you for having us.
I was glad to see her dark past once again.
- I was so happy. - I loved it.
- We were happy too. - I loved it.
I'm so glad...
that my dark past is gone.
I like it how you're taking it positively.
I'm glad that it's all gone.
I'm a huge fan of them.
I was fascinated at how I met them here.
It was a great honor.
All right.
What are your next plans?
I don't have any plans yet.
I wish your play a success.
I will train myself through plays...
and do more acting soon.
We want to see you more often. Thank you.
That's all for today.
We'll see you next week. Thank you!
- Thank you! - See you next week.
