I like instant coffee,
and I prefer a 2G phone.
I wear hiking pants,
- and I make transactions at banks. - His pants are the best.
The analog world of Gook Jin,
isn't it amazing?
Did you enjoy the songs, concerts, books, shows,
and movie...
that I made?
The creative activities of Jong Shin, aren't they amazing?
- He's doing too many things. - I'm always doing something.
- He never rests. - He even sells hats.
- I do. - Hats?
There's nothing that suits you.
You do all sorts of things.
- My gosh. - I see.
I've seen both "My Love, Don't Cross That River"...
and "Ode to My Father",
but I didn't shed any tears.
I hear that you don't have any moisture left in your body.
- I don't even sweat in saunas. - I hear your body breaks...
when someone touches you because it's too dry.
My super dry eyes,
aren't they amazing?
I've got good looks, nice body, and good sense of humor.
Even wealth. I've got it all.
But the only thing I lack in is my height.
Isn't that amazing?
(He's true to his emotions.)
- That's right. - I said that in a theater tone.
You missed the part that goes, "The fairness of the world".
- "The fairness of the world"? - It says you lack in height.
That's not something that's amazing.
It's the fairness of the world.
I mean, everyone else is fine with it.
You're the only one who found it strange. Wasn't that okay?
- It was okay. - It was okay.
- Shall I do it again? - It's all working out well.
- He still complains. - No, no.
All right, then.
We fill every Wednesday night with amazing stories...
from fantastic people.
We're a high-end, mysterious, and surprising variety show,
- It's Radio Star. - Radio Star.
All right, we have Kyeong Hwan as our special host.
- It's nice to see you. - He's in a lot of shows.
How does it feel? Is it different from when you were a guest?
I feel more comfortable in this seat.
It's because I was often invited to the show...
when I had nothing much to talk about.
This seat is way more comfortable.
You don't have much to do.
And I've never made people laugh...
with my stories.
Last time, I did Jiu Jitsu on you.
- Right, it made a lot of memes. - I was on your lap.
- It made a lot of funny memes. - It was the talk of the town.
(Kyeong Hwan demonstrated Jiu Jitsu with Gu Ra as his opponent.)
(Pressing hard)
(With Gu Ra's knee-pressing technique,)
(Kyeong Hwan gave up on Jiu Jitsu.)
He was really upset at me.
But later, he said it went well thanks to me.
(Any humiliation is fine as long as it makes people laugh.)
Today, we have actors with many stories and experiences...
who can cover both leading and supporting roles.
It's the "Fantastic Actors and Where to Find Them" special...
that you'd want to take a look at least once.
He was once famous as 1 of the 3 popular youth stars...
along with Choi Soo Jong and Park Sang Won.
but the only thing that we remember is the homeless meme...
from "Temptation of Wife".
He used to give his all for acting, but now,
he's focused on raising his kid.
It's Byun Woo Min, a homemaker actor.
It's been a while since we saw him.
In "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?", he was next to Park Seo Jun.
In "Oh My Ghost", he was next to Park Bo Young.
He did many funny ad-libs in dramas,
but in variety shows, he made Yu Jae Seok flustered.
And he created a lot of sexual memes.
It's Kang Ki Young who has a strong presence.
- All right. - It's Kang Ki Young.
That's right.
He was getting popular as a handsome guy in an instant coffee commercial,
but he hasn't had a breakthrough for 10 years.
He came back as the secretary of Coach Kim in "Sky Castle".
It's Lee Hyun Jin who's been a rising star for 10 years.
- All right. - It's Lee Hyun Jin.
He has good looks.
People are not familiar with her name, but once they see her face,
they go, "Oh, the girl from SNS."
"She's the cursing old lady."
- It's "SNL", not SNS. - It's "SNL".
That's what I already told you about.
It's not SNS. It's "SNL".
You said that intentionally, didn't you?
I only paid attention to the "cursing old lady" part.
- Okay, okay. - Let me try it again.
"Oh, the girl from SNL. She's the cursing old lady."
She used to be a comedian specialized in impersonations,
but now she's back as a scene-stealing actress.
It's Jung Yi Rang, who used to be called Jung Myung Ok.
(Jung Yi Rang)
She's the actress from "SNL".
- It's nice to see you. - Hello. Welcome.
(It's their first time to be on Radio Star.)
- My, it's nice to see you. - It's been a while.
- It's been a while. - The last time I saw you...
- was at the funeral. - My gosh.
- Woo Min. - I've finally made it here.
Please say hello to the viewers, Woo Min.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
Finally, I'm going to be...
starting anew through Radio Star. I'm Actor Byun Woo Min.
- It's nice to meet you. - He memorized the line.
What does he mean? Is he doing something with us?
Is it your first time here?
- Isn't it his second time? - Many people think so,
but it's my first time here.
- Really? - But I feel like you've been here.
- No, no. - It feels like he's been here.
- It's because... - No, no.
- I've never been here. - When Chung Won Kwan and...
Yoo Yeol were here, they talked about their age gap...
with their wives. And they mentioned Woo Min because his is the biggest.
- That's right. - Please say hello.
Hello, I'm Kang Ki Young...
- That's right. - who's going to get married soon.
- I see. - It's nice to see you.
- It's nice to see you. - It's nice to see you.
Hello, I'm not a rookie actor.
I'm Actor Lee Hyun Jin who's been acting for 10 years.
- I see. - Actor Lee Hyun Jin.
He's now popular, isn't he?
Please say hello, Yi Rang.
Hello.
I'm the precious comedian from MBC, Jung Yi Rang.
She's from MBC.
Yi Rang is MBC's comedian.
When she was on "Three Wheels", she used to imitate a webfoot octopus.
Back when she was Jung Myung Ok.
- Back when I was Jung Myung Ok? - She did that automatically.
She changed her name.
- She used to be Myung Ok. - That's right.
You're really beautiful in person.
- Your skin has gotten a lot better. - Is it your first time seeing her?
- I've never seen her in real life. - I've always had fair skin.
- Is that so? - Yes, that's right.
Then what was the problem?
It's because she was wearing special makeup.
- She transformed into grandmas. - The makeup... That's right.
- Then... - I didn't know you were so young.
He doesn't know anything.
It's because she's always acted as a grandma.
You don't do the webfoot octopus imitation anymore, do you?
- I can do it if you want. - You're married?
- You will? - Yes.
- I didn't know you were married. - But you're wearing a skirt.
No, I'm wearing pants. I wanted to be ready for anything.
- Then let's... - She's so well-prepared.
Tell us if you want to see her imitate a webfoot octopus.
What is that?
It's an imitation of a webfoot octopus that she does.
- It's in season. - I'd love to show it...
right now, but we've just begun shooting the show.
- Okay. - Then show it to us later.
Woo Min, you're keeping yourself busy with child raising.
That's right.
I hear you're always next to your daughter.
How old is she?
She's just turned seven.
I wanted to focus on her...
during the time I spend with her.
It's because I realized that it'd be too late later.
- How old is she? - I'm serious.
He said she's seven!
- Are you listening or not? - I was daydreaming.
I know. Who were you thinking about?
You're better than me.
I asked the parents how old the baby was at his one-year birthday party.
For me, I asked if it's the kid's 1st 1-year birthday party.
(They brag about just anything.)
Woo Min, how big is the age gap between you and your wife? 20? 21?
- There're many of rumors about it. - How many years is it exactly?
- It's been exaggerated. - Let's put an end to this.
There are so many rumors that I want to be clear about it.
- Let me tell you right now. - I thought it was 20 years.
No, no. Not at all. The thing is,
on another show, Choi Yang Rak's wife,
- Paeng Hyun Sook? - Paeng Hyun Sook,
said her daughter is the same age as my wife.
That's when the whole thing started.
- Was it exaggerated? - That's when...
- people said the age gap is 20. - She's the one who exaggerated.
Then I had no chance to explain.
I couldn't even say no to the rumor.
- How many years is it exactly? - How many years is it exactly?
- It's exactly 19 years. - 19 years?
(They're all speechless.)
- Darn you. - Excuse me.
- Excuse me. - He's been elaborating for so long.
(He's the only one who's calm.)
- What was that? - He talked for so long.
It's the same age gap as Lee Han Wi's.
- It's the same. - The age gap is 19,
but what I find most difficult...
is that my wife gets old too.
Others keep thinking that my wife is still young.
It's because of the big age gap.
That's when the misunderstanding begins.
I really desperately hope...
you wouldn't talk about...
- our age gap anymore. - Let's put an end to this.
- How old is your mother-in-law? - Please stop talking about it.
- I'm just trying to put an end. - You should stop too.
- Some people... - We should talk about this.
think that you're the same age as your mother-in-law.
- Let's put an end to this. - I'm more curious about her age.
Let's put an end to this.
My mother-in-law is way older than me.
- Way older? - Way older?
We're just curious if the gap is big.
- The gap is over 10 years. - Is it?
The age gap is over 10 years.
- Is it 11 years? - She was born in 1954?
- Pardon? - Is it 11 years?
It's around 11 years and a half.
(It's whopping 365 days and a half more than 10 years.)
Oh, so she was born in 1954, and you were born in 1964.
- That's a huge gap. - We're clear about it now.
- That was neat. - And...
- Age doesn't matter. - it's...
- That's right. - I know.
Age doesn't matter when it comes to marriage.
- That's the end of that talk. - It's the end.
- It's seriously the end. - We put an end to it.
- That was powerful. - And that's why...
I said I'm going to start anew through Radio Star.
- Okay, you can start anew. - We must not talk about it anymore.
- All right. - That's the end. Okay.
Ki Young, you recently announced your marriage.
- That's right. - I heard you decided...
to get married after reading comments on an article.
After "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" ended,
I did interviews for a news outlet.
I told the reporter that I have a girlfriend,
and that suddenly...
(Spitting out)
(Throwing up)
What kind of slapstick is this?
- He's talking about his girlfriend. - What was that?
- Did he throw up? - It was about his girlfriend.
Are you unwell?
It was like a waterfall.
- Wasn't he trying to be funny? - I know.
Are you unwell? What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
It's a mess here.
I thought he was throwing up.
- His kid is still young. - I know.
She's only seven.
- How will you raise her? - What's up with him?
You still have 13 years until she turns 20!
You're unwell, and how will you start anew?
(Sniffing)
- I'm so sorry. - I thought he did that because...
- Why did you do that? - he couldn't hold his laughter.
- He only said he has a girlfriend. - It was almost like hemoptysis.
- Did you choke? - It wasn't that.
- He didn't choke. - I wasn't choked.
When someone talks about getting married,
I get worried.
I wish that person could have a happy life.
But he spit out water.
- I'm sorry. - You should be careful.
You might slip and fall.
If he spat it at me...
- If he spat it at me... - It would've been funny.
It could've been funny.
You could've made a lot of memes.
(Here comes the water slap.)
Please ask for permission when you drink it.
We almost missed out on Ki Young's marriage story.
(Oh, right.)
- You read... - He splashed water.
You read comments and decided to get married?
- Oh, right. - We were talking about that.
After shooting the drama... Let me talk about it again.
After "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" ended,
I did interviews for a news outlet.
I said I have a girlfriend.
No one in the comment section...
was jealous of my girlfriend.
They were all supporting me, and they wished us happiness.
They also complimented on my acting.
So I realized I wouldn't hurt anyone even if I got married...
because I think I'm not a youth star.
- You think you're not? - So I...
You realized that too late.
(He realized where he stands way too late.)
For how long have you been seeing your girlfriend?
It's been around three years.
Then it's about time to get married.
- We're quite stable. - From what I know,
when you first met her,
she held your hand first under the table.
You felt the thrill and decided to go out with her.
To be more honest,
I met her for the first time while drinking with my friends.
I was sitting next to her,
and my legs were crossed.
Can you cross your legs?
- Act as his girlfriend. - We were quite drunk.
Let's say that my legs are crossed.
- I crossed my legs. - We exchanged a few words,
and that's when her hand...
- Oh, my! - slipped between my thighs.
- Your girlfriend did that? - Yes, my girlfriend did that to me.
When it was your first time seeing each other?
- But I didn't feel appalled. - Oh, my.
- So... - That can happen.
- That's possible. - I opened my heart to her.
- Then what happened? - She's quite bold.
Then we held each other's hands.
Underneath the table,
our hearts were fluttering.
- That's so... - It's like a movie scene.
- Right. - It's really like a movie.
That's how it began. That was our first day.
When her hand came between your thighs, did you open your legs?
Or did you grab her hand?
There are a lot of possibilities.
- I slightly opened them... - He must've grabbed it.
and pressed them harder when it came in deeper.
You were like, "That's mine!"
- You did a good job. - "That's mine!"
If you pressed it, then that's the end of the game.
- You did a good job. - That's the end of the game.
- I was actually startled. - Did you propose?
I haven't proposed yet.
We all get to sing later, right?
- That's when you'll propose? - You will...
I participated in writing the song, so I...
That means we can't edit that part out.
(The romantic mood is destroyed again.)
- His girlfriend might like it. - He prepared a song to propose.
Would she? I see.
(He knows how to be romantic.)
(Let's love each other...)
(in a beautiful...)
(and a healthy way.)
(His song for proposal that he sang with all his heart)
Okay.
(It's coming up soon.)
I have a question.
After you marry her,
will you introduce your wife on a TV show or something?
These days, there are TV shows for raising children and such.
A lot of people do that.
If you're not careful, she'll scold you for not running it by her.
- Some of the wives are on TV. - Think carefully about this.
And some of them don't appear on TV.
- We'll discuss and decide. - That's the right answer.
You must make the right decision. As for me,
not introducing her on TV was one of the conditions.
- That's right. - Her opinion matters the most.
- Right. It's important. - Yes.
This was when I was still married.
It was when I was on all kinds of TV shows.
They wanted my wife to be on the show too.
She turned it down.
And I didn't force her.
But in the end, she must have known what would happen.
After that,
- You'll mention that here? - that crossed my mind.
(Life is full of ups and downs.)
- Things worked out in a way. - So your wife...
- Did you make your decision then? - No, that's not it.
- This is a joke from a comedian. - Right.
(It's a joke at his own expense.)
Hyun Jin. By the way,
- Yes? - you're tight-lipped.
When others are talking, he keeps his mouth closed.
He never interrupts.
- It's not about him. - He's waiting for his turn.
- This... - He was silent the whole time.
My gosh, this tight-lipped man...
shared that he'd be on our show...
- with his military buddies first. - Yes.
- Yes. - You have a chatroom with them?
I fulfilled my military service rather late compared to others.
I enlisted in 2014.
I was 30 when I served in the army.
- You did join late. - Yes.
Since people in the military...
- knew that I was a celebrity, - Okay.
they asked me when I'd be on Radio Star.
They asked me that once.
When I told them that I was invited, they went crazy.
They asked which girl group would join me.
- Yi Rang is here. - She's here.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's Jung Yi Rang from a girl group.
Tell them that Ms. Webfoot Octopus is here.
(She's more entertaining than a girl group.)
She's funny. You can tell them that Ms. Webfoot Octopus was here.
- By the way, - Yes?
you work out for five hours a day?
- That's impressive. - He must have a muscular body.
- He has a good body. - His upper body looks good.
You're obsessed...
with exercising because of your childhood memory.
Yes,
my weight until my sophomore year in high school was 108kg.
- I see. - I see.
- It was about 110kg. - Okay.
I'm afraid of gaining weight.
That's why...
I work out a lot almost like a madman.
- Is that so? - I even take medicine for it.
But you said that Gu Ra and Gook Jin's body...
are unsalvageable.
You can't compare yourself to us.
- It's not that. - We're old men.
We're in our 50s.
He's going to be 55 soon.
- Come on. We're old men. - When...
I was having the preliminary interview with the writer.
She told me that you work out.
I don't work out to make my body muscular.
- Okay. - Once or twice a week...
I exercise.
I do Pilates.
- Pilates? - Yes, I do Pilates.
- So... - I just continue to work out.
I exercise to keep myself healthy.
- You said that you do Pilates. - Yes, Pilates.
- Is your body flexible? - What?
- Is it flexible? - Somewhat, I am.
- I also do Pilates. - Okay.
- Do you want to battle it out? - Why would we battle about that?
- Why... - Yes!
- Everyone, clap. - You know what?
- If your body is flexible... - No, Woo Min.
- Can your hands reach your feet? - I...
Reach your feet with your hands.
- Why would I do that with you? - Exactly.
Just once. Let's do this once.
- Why would I do that? - Try it.
- Just once. - Come on, try it.
- That's his wish. - Just do it.
- It's his wish. - Right, right.
- Unbelievable. - Okay.
- Let's see how flexible you are. - You're weird.
(The flexibility match)
- This is weird. - You must be flexible.
- You have a weird request. - I can't even do that well.
- Okay, let me try. I'll try it. - Gu Ra will try.
- Okay. - Try it.
My gosh, unbelievable.
- This is... - Why am I doing this?
This is hard.
- Okay. I'll take off my jacket. - It's hard.
Goodness.
- Why are you trying to beat him? - No, no.
It's not that.
It's because you're making me do this ridiculous match.
- It's this or going shirtless. - You said you do Pilates.
- All right. Get ready. - You must be able to do this.
(Bending)
- One. - My gosh, Gu Ra is so flexible.
- Go down as far as you can. - My gosh.
- My gosh. - He went past the logo.
He went past the logo.
Okay, okay.
(Did you see that?)
And besides, don't act so surprised.
- This is nothing. - No.
- It's because... - How is this impressive?
- You're so good. - Let me try. I'll do it.
- An average guy in his 50s... - You did well.
can't do this.
- This is nothing impressive. - We're stiff.
- It's not easy. Try it. - I can't do this.
- Some people can't reach. - Exactly.
You can't do this despite your short legs.
(Laughing at him)
You still can't reach.
- I'm stiff. - What are you doing?
- Hey. - Woo Min will try now.
Don't you need to stretch?
He's ready. He must reach the floor.
You can't bend your knees.
- My gosh. - Lock your knees.
- I did. - You're unbelievable.
- My legs are straight. Hold them. - Okay. My gosh.
- He's unbelievable. - Hold on.
I thought you were Park Tae Hwan.
It's not that.
He's going to dive.
(We thought he was the Marine Boy.)
- You can't dive here. - Okay.
- I'm a swimmer. - Let's see it.
By the way, he's really flexible.
- Let's see it. - I have to go past the logo?
- Yes. - Okay. Let me give it a try.
The third lane.
(Can he beat Gu Ra?)
- He's really flexible. - My gosh.
(Their jaws drop.)
(Taking a look)
Why are you shaking? Why are you shaking?
He beat Gu Ra.
See?
- That was amazing. - That was impressive.
Okay, okay.
- You're impressive. - You're very flexible.
- By the way... - I saw his back.
His bottom was shaking like crazy.
- That's bound to happen. - I was surprised.
Right? His body was shaking a lot, right?
Some people might think you are deficient in magnesium.
All right. Yi Rang.
- Yes. Your name was Jung Myung Ok. - Jung Myung Ok.
- Yes. - I really liked your old name.
- Why did you get your name changed? - Here's why.
My mother's name is Myung Ok.
- That's my point. - She was born in 1939.
- I got that a lot from people. - What's your mother's last name?
- Someone's teacher had that name. - It's Park Myung Ok.
- Why did you change your name? - Who gave you the new name?
One time, I went to Paris all by myself on a trip.
But the owner of the guesthouse...
I was staying at asked out of nowhere...
if I liked my name.
She had been living there for a long time there...
and didn't know about me at all.
- I asked why she asked. - Is it a bad name?
She suggested changing the name...
because she was worried that it'd harm my child.
- Really? - Yes, she really said that.
- Where did this happen? In Paris? - In Paris?
- Yes, it was in Paris. - Was she...
I wasn't happy about that and I came back.
And my child caught a cold...
and fell. Whenever something happened to her,
- I felt like it was because of me. - Because of your name?
I changed my name to make it easy on myself.
And is she good after you changed your name?
I mean, she still gets sick.
(It still happens.)
(I'm sorry.)
The problem is that...
- when my family calls me Yi Rang, - Right.
- that makes me cringe. - Right.
Usually, they call me Princess or the Youngest.
- They call you Princess? - Princess?
- I'm the youngest, so it happens. - Right.
Yes, yes.
- On "SNL", - How else will they call her?
you took so many granny roles.
(Calling her Princess feels a bit unfamiliar.)
- Right. - I was in the same situation.
- My name... - Did you change your name?
is Kang Ki Young.
I had three different names in mind.
- Kang Bi Sung. - Bi Sung?
- Kang Min. - Kang Bi Sung?
- Kang Min. - Kang Dong Hoo.
I even legally changed my name to Kang Dong Hoo.
I changed my name because my mother suggested it,
but my mom wouldn't call me by that because it was awkward.
- Right. - Your mother told you to change it.
Yes. She brought me all the documents to get my name changed,
- but she didn't call me by that. - I see.
- So I changed my name back. - Really?
I had to tell them that I have lost my identity...
because I had to submit an statement to the court.
- Right. - You said you lost your identity.
- What did you write in yours? - Me?
As for me,
my teacher used to scold me a lot when I was young.
"Jung Myung Ok!" My name reminded me of that.
Getting called by my full name is a trauma to me.
Whenever someone did that, I felt like I was being scolded.
I'm serious. Really.
And I had some friends who were younger than me,
but some of them became senior comedians at MBC.
So when they called me...
by my name,
that scared me in some way.
I upset me too.
- You joined at a late age. - Yes.
Yi Rang, then do you prefer people calling you, Ms. Jung?
No, it's not that.
But when they call me by my new name,
it sounds like they're cruising at me.
What do you want us to do?
I don't know. It's hard for me too.
- Goodness. - You have lower self-esteem.
- You know what? - Seriously.
You seemed happy when I called you Ms. Webfoot Octopus.
I like that because it reminds me of the old days.
(Ms. Webfoot Octopus is joining us today.)
Yi Rang. When you told your husband...
that you were joining us, he gave you a lot of advice.
He told you to curse at us as soon as it started.
- Right? - I mean...
My husband kept telling me that I should curse at the hosts.
I asked him why I should do that.
He said I would be funny when I cursed at successful people.
He told me to do my acts on "SNL".
You did an act with Gu Ra once.
Yes, I thought about it, but the swearwords are too harsh.
This won't even make it past the censorship here.
- But he told me to do that. - Can you do it here?
- Please? - Can you show us?
It's been a long time.
- But they sound really harsh. - We'll beep it out.
"What a scumbag. You totally your marbles. Moron." This was it.
- Right, right. - Well done.
- And I was... - "You're a pelican with a big jaw."
"I'm going to poop all over you."
"Or I will stuff your mouth with the horse dung."
- I can't say these things here. - Right. That's all right.
- The pelican one was good. - I don't know how I did that.
- It was entertaining though. - Right.
- I see. - For the preliminary interview,
you prepared a lot of special talents.
- Do the webfoot octopus act. - It wasn't a lot. That one?
- Let's go with that. - That's not a good starter.
- No, it's a strong one. - I haven't warmed up yet.
- No, no. - Let's do Kim Hee Won first.
Let's do the webfoot octopus act after Kim Hee Won's impersonation.
- Should I? - The webfoot octopus act.
My gosh. You're so pushing it.
Can you do Kim Hee Won's impression first?
- Actually, - Can you do that one first?
some people told me I resemble him in "The Man from Nowhere".
It's right before he gets killed off...
- in the movie. - It's a scene in the car.
Yes, he does this scene in the car.
- I have to drink some water. - Okay.
Don't throw up.
(She spills and he laughs.)
She's spilling everything.
(Anticipating)
(Crying)
She's good.
"You, son of a gun!"
"This is bullet-proof! You stupid!"
(Her swearing is refreshing.)
(Glancing)
- That was funny. - This is embarrassing.
- Her pronunciation was clear. - Yi Rang.
- She's born to be an actress. - Yes.
- Her acts are impressive. - She's born to be an actress.
- Right. - By the way,
your gums stick out when you swear.
- Really? - Like this.
Right.
- It was entertaining. - What is this?
Your impression of your friend's mother from middle school?
I thought about doing my friends' impressions.
Even if you don't know them, it could be funny.
- I thought about doing one. - Your middle school friend's mom.
It's my middle school friend's mom.
"Hey, Soo Ae."
"The rice cooker is empty. Was Myung Ok here again?"
I...
- You go to her house and eat. - I...
- I always ate at her house. - That was a funny line.
- If it's gone, they ask about me. - That's funny.
- That's how I came up with it. - I see.
- That was a funny impression. - Right.
Let's do the webfoot octopus act.
- The webfoot octopus act? - Let's do that.
- My gosh, the webfoot octopus act. - Do that for me. Please do it.
- That one is really funny. - Whatever happens, it's not on me.
- I haven't seen that. What is it? - It's not that.
When someone asks for a plate of webfoot octopuses,
- I say, "Coming right up." - I bet it will be funny.
Excuse me. Give us the webfoot octopus, please.
Coming right up!
(Feeling proud already)
(Rushing)
(Falling)
(Wriggling)
(What is that?)
Isn't this funny?
- Isn't this funny? - No way.
- This is funny. - It's not funny.
- We laughed a lot. - What is this?
- No, this one is your best. - See?
- I told you this was funny. - I didn't know what it was.
- I just got it. - Isn't this funny?
So the webfoot octopus answered Gu Ra.
- Right. - You don't need other acts.
That's right. She's really good at this.
Yi Rang spared nothing.
Yi Rang is great at this.
- I told you. - This is funny.
I have five more, but I won't do those.
Okay.
Woo Min, whenever you see Jong Shin, you say he hasn't changed.
- I'm the same? - I mean it.
We've known each other for a long time.
- It's been 30 years. - It's been a long time.
- I've known him for a long time. - Right.
I don't know why I did that,
but back in the day, I almost lived with Gun Mo for a few months.
- You lived with him? - Yes.
- That was in the last 90s. - Right.
- Gun Mo loves drinking. - He drinks a lot.
But I can't drink a drop of alcohol. Right.
I'm sorry, Gun Mo.
I couldn't buy you a drink back in the days.
Is Gun Mo here somewhere?
- He must be watching the show. - That was sudden.
- I see. - Okay, okay.
I thought this was "Love on the Air".
(I thought this was "Love on the Air".)
- We met up a lot back then. - That's right.
I used to live in Poi-dong.
Here's what I still can't forget about.
There were times when they'd drink.
Here's the thing. I don't drink.
We would hang out until 1am or 2am with Gun Mo.
And they would be drinking.
I used to drive Jong Shin...
- to his house. - That's right.
- Yes. - After I dropped him off,
I should have been home around 2am to 3am.
But strangely, I always came back home around 7am.
I thought about what I did during those hours.
We didn't go anywhere.
We just stayed in the car.
- It was just the two of us. - You guys just talked.
Jong Shin would talk for about three hours.
(He talks by himself for 3 hours.)
- It means he was wasted. - Back then...
- I bet he can't remember. - That must be memorable.
What did we talk about for that long?
- I mean... - You just talk.
- He'd sit there and talk. - Is there a memorable story?
What's really interesting is that...
he told me so many things back then.
- I bet he doesn't remember that. - Right.
But everything that he does now...
is what he talked about back then.
- Really? - I see.
I'm serious. I'm not joking.
In the car, he told me that...
he was going to be a producer and run a label.
He told me everything.
Whenever Jong Shin talks on TV,
I'm really fascinated.
I'd think, "I heard him say that 20 or 30 years ago."
- And on top of that, - In 1999?
the song he recited impulsively...
would be released now. That happened too.
- Really? - I find that fascinating.
- His memory is fascinating. - Exactly.
- I don't remember that. I don't. - Here's the thing.
- I met you before you got married. - Yes.
- At a hotel lounge. - Yes, that's right.
You didn't say a word to me because you were sober then.
- Right. - You didn't say anything.
- It was three hours for you. - Right.
- It was around 2am or 3am. - Gun Mo and you. I remember.
You were involved in the soundtracks for movies in the early 90s.
- The music studio in Yeoksam. - That's right.
- I met you for the first time. - It was when Boohwal was there.
The keyboard from the band.
- Seo Young Jin played the keyboard. - It was Young Jin.
- He gave me "Another Meeting". - Right.
- That's right. - That was my first song.
- And Kim Min Jong sang it next. - That's right.
And my dear friend who departed this world, Shin Hae Chul.
Hae Chul and we worked together.
Hae Chul was the producer of the song.
The youngest producer back then was Joo Young Hoon.
- Right. - It was Young Hoon.
Doesn't he talk a lot?
Right. It must be because...
he thinks about the old days while looking after his child.
- He said that he just listened. - I miss those days.
Do you think he would just sit and listen?
How could I speak for three hours?
- You heard him talk. - Of course.
(He was the one who let the conversation run for 3 hours.)
- Ki Young. - What a relief.
I don't know which show he watched,
but he said that Jong Shin hosts shows...
like an MC from developed countries.
This is the most incomprehensible thing I've heard recently.
Which country?
Germany? France? The States? Or the UK?
- He's like an American TV host. - Right.
It looks like he knows the tone and manner.
Of course, I know that I have no right to judge him.
I find him witty.
- He's funny. - Of course.
- He's like the American TV host. - That's right.
Gu Ra is like a TV host from the Central and South America.
- That's right. - He's tough on the guests.
He's like the guy from "Narcos".
(His tough side is Gu Ra's charm.)
Whenever I see him, I always think he resembles Kim Chang Ryul.
He and Kim Chang Ryul have similar ears.
That's true. I've heard that a lot.
- I bet you got that a lot. - Yes.
Are you good at fighting?
- No. I'm a pacifist. - Fighting?
- He doesn't fight anymore. - He dodges them now.
- Chang Ryul... - Why...
- He doesn't fight anymore. - Why did I say that?
Whenever I hear his name,
- why do I always ask this question? - My gosh.
- He's out of that phase now. - I'm sorry, Chang Ryul.
(I'm sorry, Chang Ryul.)
Ki Young, after seeing Hyun Jin in "Sky Castle",
you assumed that he would be an outcast among other actors.
I assumed that he probably didn't have a chance to act with the cast.
I thought that he might not be close with them.
- Because he was with Kim Seo Hyung? - Yes. Actually,
I think Seo Hyung and I...
- were the loneliest in the drama. - Right.
- Other people had... - Right.
husbands or kids.
And in the end, only the two of us went to jail.
- Yes. - You went to prison.
You had to deliver your lines in this same tone.
- You were emotionless. - Right.
- But there was a subtle difference. - There is?
When Joo Young was in a good mood,
she'd say, "Espresso, please."
Then, I would see that she was in a good mood.
- I'd say my line cheerfully. - That?
When she was slapped,
she was in a bad mood.
She'd say, "Espresso, please."
"Yes, ma'am."
(In his lowest voice)
- You had 2 or 3 different voices. - Yes.
- There's a subtle difference. - Yes.
"Sky Castle" was very successful.
Did you gain from the success? Like filming a commercial?
As for commercials,
I didn't get any offers.
- I'm on Radio Star. - That's right.
- Hyun Jin... - He's very positive.
(He's very positive.)
By the way, Seo Hyung is on a lot of commercials now.
Exactly. In the very beginning...
- He could've been in those too. - She's squeezing out all the juice.
- Exactly. - Right.
I received a few offers in the beginning,
but they didn't pan out.
I did receive an offer.
She mentioned that...
- only I was getting the offers. - Right.
She said we should film one together.
But now, she's filming everything.
- "Why is it just me now?" - When I was in...
- "Dignity of Beggar", - "Dignity of Beggar".
I worked with Kim Ji Min and Kim Young Hee.
But only Ji Min and I got the offers.
- Without Young Hee. - But she was in our act too.
We told the advertising company...
that we wanted to film one with Young Hee even if we were paid less.
But the answer was that we would lose the commercial deal.
Then, we said that we'd film it without her right away.
(He found out just now.)
Hyun Jin, people left comments online...
that your character liked Joo Young.
- Okay. - Some people said that.
- What do you think about that? - Actually,
I thought that he probably liked her.
- Romantically. - I did get that vibe in the drama.
- That's why he took care of her. - Exactly.
- That was his interpretation. - You can't do that without love.
How could someone do that?
Is that how you interpreted the scripts?
In a way, Joo Young...
can be considered as the antagonist of the drama,
but there must be a reason...
- for me to help her. - Right.
With that in mind,
I thought that my role liked her.
Whether he liked her romantically...
or as another human being.
But I could feel that through your acting.
- Yes, so... - I felt that you were going for it.
The director...
also wanted us to look at each other romantically.
That's how I acted in the drama.
You two didn't kiss in the drama, right?
No, he just thought that when he acted.
- I didn't watch the drama. - The whole country liked it.
I didn't watch that.
(The folder is empty.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with actors and an actress who had all types of roles...
from a comic relief to a psychopath.
We'll begin today's special,
"Fantastic Actors and Where to Find Them".
Woo Min, how did you become an actor?
I decided that I'd be an actor...
- at the age of five. - Really?
You graduated as the theater major from Chung-Ang University.
Before that,
I majored in chemical engineering.
And then, I performed in musicals.
- Did you change major late? - Yes, right.
Then, did you start college after Park Joong Hoon?
- No, they started together. - Yes, way earlier than I did.
But I'm older than him.
In what year did you start?
I entered Chung-Ang University in 1985.
- Then, he started in 1984 at first. - That's hard.
- You're much older than Joong Hoon? - No, no.
Yes, I am.
- How many years apart? - Hold on.
No, Joong Hoon started in 1984.
Look. I actually started college in 1983.
Why do you carry around your student ID card?
These days, people...
Why do you carry around your student ID card?
- You started in 1983. - I see. 1983.
- I see. - That was for another major.
But he became my senior student since I transferred late.
He was really handsome in the early 90s.
- He's very handsome. - Back then,
I heard a lot about him from my mother.
She told me that he was very handsome.
The series, "Watercolor Painting on a Rainy Day"...
was really popular.
One of the music programs on MBC...
- There was... - Yes, he hosted a music show too.
Yoon Sang and Son Myung Hee used to play music...
- on the show. "Youth Is Here". - "Youth Is Here".
- He used to be the host for it. - "Youth Is Here".
It ran from July 13, 1991 to 1992.
You must think about that all the time at home.
It was in 1991.
You should come out now.
(He's full of memories.)
How did you make your debut, Ki Young?
It was my third year as the theater major.
- Which college? I see. - It was University of Suwon.
I was done my third year.
Starring in ads was an easy way...
to start my career.
- That could build your profile. - They'd call and do a test on me.
After starring in a few commercials,
I worked as the commercial actor in the beginning of my career.
Yi Rang. You used to work at a company.
Yes. I was an instructor for extra curriculum at middle school.
I even completed the training to be a teacher too.
- Were you a teacher? - Yes.
Acting had always been my dream,
but I kept delaying it.
I started at the age of 29.
- She'd make a fine teacher. - You were a teacher.
- What about you, Hyun Jin? - I have a similar story.
Acting wasn't my dream.
I started this career to make money at first.
That's great.
- That's great. - Yes.
- That's great. - That's one way to see it.
- That's a possibility. - Right, right.
You wanted to make money.
I started off as a commercial actor to make money.
And an agency contacted me.
But becoming an actor wasn't my dream job.
- What was your dream job then? - It just happened this way.
My initial dream job was an astronomer.
- That's great. - That's so cool.
Do you look at the sky a lot?
Sky?
That's how you can get to the stars.
Yes, I do.
(He diligently answers even odd questions.)
Yi Rang, you started off as a comedian...
and became an actress.
I heard that you distribute your own profile.
Do you refuse to be on a variety show?
I would love to get an offer.
- I would gladly visit. - Is that so?
It didn't feel right to sit around at home...
when I wasn't getting a single offer.
Being idle won't help me.
I asked my agency to let me promote myself...
- for a job. - You asked your agency.
Then I visited people.
- I got a few jobs that way. - That's incredible.
Did you visit Bong Joon Ho?
- Out of the blue? - Yes.
I was distributing my profile...
when I acquired information...
that Bong Joon Ho will shoot a new movie.
How courageous!
You acquired information.
I had to grab the opportunity.
You never know.
You never know what will happen in life.
I asked my husband to watch the child...
and drove the car...
to the audition.
There was traffic,
so I took the subway instead.
But the time was drawing near.
It was past 6pm and I had to do something.
I got out of the subway and ran.
I ran from Gangnam Station.
When I arrived at the building,
the roll up door was closing. I am serious.
I yelled, "Please wait." I went inside like this.
You should have copied a webfoot octopus.
I copied a webfoot octopus. I crawled in like this.
- All right. - I got into the elevator.
When I got into the elevator with my heart beating fast,
Bong Joon Ho got in.
Was the movie "Okja"?
It was "Parasite".
- It will be released soon. - Yes.
- I need to hear more. - So...
I pleaded with tears in my eyes.
I wanted to make the most of the opportunity.
"Please don't be biased because I was a comedian."
- "Please see me as I am." - Your passion.
"I am confident I can do well."
I pleaded with tears in my eyes.
He said, "I will let you audition. I let people like you audition."
"I will be in touch."
On my way home,
I cried as if I got a role.
"I did it. I did it."
- Then I got a call. - What happened?
- I was invited to an audition. - An audition.
I practiced really hard and participated in the audition.
- Did you get the role? - No, I didn't.
Oh, really?
- This is the reality. - Had I gotten the role...
This is the reality.
Had you gotten the role, it would have been like a drama.
It would have been like a drama or a movie.
- A movie. - But it didn't happen.
You should meet up with Bong Man Dae.
He is decent.
- Bong Man Dae. - Failing an audition...
- is a good experience. - There are other directors.
I gathered up my courage, so I told myself I did a good job.
- That's right. - "You did enough."
Bong Joon Ho isn't the only director.
(Thank you.)
I think you will get an opportunity soon.
(Directors, I will be waiting.)
Woo Min, you studied medicine...
for a scene of getting shot.
Just in case, I wanted to be prepared...
for that kind of a scene.
None of us has gotten shot.
None of us has.
- That's right. - Let's say...
someone shot you in the shoulder.
You are shot.
- How are you going to act? - It's hard.
Think about it.
There are damage to the bones...
and damage to the ligaments. There are different types.
- There are different types. - Show us...
- how you would act. - Take a look.
- Here. - Show us.
- When a person gets shot... - Show us.
This is what I learned.
Come on and study.
- A lot of people go... - That's right.
That's not how it goes. When you get shot, you do this.
You have no strength.
- Did the bullet leave the body? - Your shoulder drops.
- You... - It's like your knees were shot.
That's right. I realized that you simply collapse.
- Because of this muscle, - It's connected to everything.
the entire body loses strength.
(This happens when you get shot.)
- This happens. - Hold on.
- What's next? - Now,
your face feels the pain first.
- That's right. - So...
(His facial muscles twitch.)
I heard that you can't help but look.
In most cases, this happens.
That's right.
(Everyone is impressed.)
Then you get shot in the head and die.
That's how it goes.
We do something similar for a comedy skit.
How do you get shot in a comedy skit?
When Admiral Yi Sun Shin got shot with an arrow,
it was heroic. He collapsed and said,
"Don't let the enemies know about my death."
How would it have been if he got shot on his butt?
Then he would have been like,
"Gosh, why did they shoot me here?"
"Gosh, it's in my butt."
"I am going to put this arrow here."
That's funny.
(He succeeded to make people laugh.)
Ki Young, I heard that Jang Hyuk's passion in acting...
almost killed you.
Which drama were the two of you in?
We were in a period drama called "Shine or Go Crazy".
I played Lee Duk Hwa's son.
There was a scene where he threw a dagger.
Although I was a novice, I knew that...
the camera would do all the work...
so that he wouldn't have to throw the dagger.
It would simply show up on the target.
But he has pride when it comes to action scenes.
- Yes. - He has pride.
- He has pride. - After immobilizing me,
he threw the dagger right next to my face.
(He actually threw the dagger.)
I was so scared.
It was really close.
Thankfully, it didn't hit my eyes.
But he threw it...
right next to my face.
- That was the scene. - How scary!
- It was this close. - Hyuk is passionate.
- My goodness. - It was a real dagger.
No one stopped him.
If you are in Hyuk's position,
you wouldn't do that same.
I would act more effectively.
Right?
(It was scary, Hyuk.)
Ki Young, you always get another job...
from the producers and writers you have worked with.
- So... - They believe in you.
I am really thankful.
I think they hire me again...
because they expect me to make scenes funnier...
than the script.
- You can do that. - Yes.
When I get hired again,
I work with a sense of purpose.
"I will make scenes funnier."
I heard that you go camping...
with the producer's family.
- I see. - It's a business move.
It's a different matter.
That must be the know-how.
It's hard to go camping with someone's family.
It's a good way to get a job.
- It's not like that, right? - It's not like that.
You became close to the producer after the job.
Working together brings us close.
Since camping is my hobby,
I do it for him.
I see.
Who makes the suggestion to go camping?
I do.
"I will make it comfortable for you."
Then you talk about the next work.
That's right.
- You grill meat. - That's right.
(Camping brings love.)
Yi Rang, even in romantic scenes,
you overreact by five times to be the loveable sidekick.
- Kim Ki Lee and I... - That's right.
- Kim Ki Lee? - There was a scene in the hallway.
We had romantic scenes together.
We had agreed...
to act naturally.
But we couldn't get an okay sign from the director.
Let me give you an example.
"How could people be like that?"
"I am so upset."
(She leans on his shoulders.)
This is natural, right?
But we couldn't get an okay sign from the director.
- The director wanted something. - "What do we need to do?"
"Act as you always do."
"How could people be like that?"
- That's great. - It's game over.
That's it.
That was great.
I need to act like that to get an okay sign.
- I want to act naturally. - I loved it.
You looked cool.
Thinking about it makes me smile.
(She is passionate.)
It's good to overreact.
- That's right. - That's right.
Woo Min, in "Temptation of Wife", you created the beggar meme.
- It's famous. - It's very famous.
- It's over a decade old. - Leaving home brings hardships.
- Let's see it. - He was in commercials.
- Leaving home brings hardships. - You were loved for this.
Leaving home brings hardships.
It's so gloomy.
He was the most handsome actor in the 80s and 90s.
- I know. - It's so gloomy.
(Shocked)
- It was shocking. - I really wanted...
- to try something like that. - He really looks like a beggar.
- Seriously. - His performance was perfect.
That year, I won the Grand Prize in the commercial.
- That's right. - Who was the female winner?
She was...
- You don't need to remember. - Really?
(They aren't interested.)
The Grand Prize in the commercial? How did that happen?
That scene was used for a commercial.
The catchphrase was, "Leaving home brings hardships."
(It's the perfect catchphrase.)
Don't you want to leave home...
when you are exhausted from looking after your daughter?
Right?
What does your wife do?
- She looks after her with me. - I see.
She looks after her with me.
You made it sound like you do it alone.
No, no. My wife and I do it together.
But my wife said,
"I will take care of our daughter,"
- "so you should go and work." - She wants you to work.
Starting with Radio Star,
I will delve into work.
- All right. - You will delve into work.
I will go out there and do everything.
(Welcoming invitations)
Ki Young, you have already experienced...
the rise and fall in the commercial industry.
I used to be a commercial actor.
Speaking of beggars, I am reminded of something.
When you played Flower Beggar for a comedy skit,
you had a shoot for a commercial in Hongdae.
There was a group of beggars.
- You played a beggar. - Yes.
I was in that group.
- Were you in a commercial with me? - Yes, I was.
- Really? - I was a beggar, too.
It's understandable that you don't remember.
Although I played a beggar, I was the main character.
It's understandable that you don't remember.
He was the head beggar.
(Flower Beggar, Kyeong Hwan)
(An ordinary beggar, Ki Young)
(He even got a solo shot.)
When I was in that industry, I distributed my profile.
My payment was 300 dollars.
- That's the starting payment. - It slowly went up.
After becoming a supporting model,
I became the main model.
Then I got 10,000 dollars a job.
(He started off as a commercial actor.)
(Then he became a supporting model...)
(and the main model.)
It's crucial for commercials to remain fresh.
I was in too many commercials.
Then they don't want you.
Then the graph went down.
My payment began at 300 dollars and reached 10,000 dollars.
From there, it came down to 500 dollars.
Really?
- Then I had to work more. - You had to make money.
How many commercials were you in?
Give us the total.
At the very least, I was in 100 commercials.
- That's a lot. - I played all kinds of roles.
- I wore all kinds of tights. - I see.
I played lactobacillus...
- and colon bacillus. - You struggled a lot.
(He struggled a lot back then.)
Hyun Jin, when you were a rookie, you became the talk of the town...
as the handsome man in a canned coffee commercial.
Which canned coffee was it?
The catchphrase was, "You look cuter when you're sick."
"Let's..."
Right, "Let's Be".
You said the name.
- Yes. - I did.
I shot that commercial,
and I was more famous...
with that commercial rather than my debut work.
(I think I have a fever.)
(He looks so young.)
(You look cuter when you're sick.)
Good luck!
I didn't think it was going to be popular.
I was supposed to be...
at a college in Cheonan at 9am.
But my agent came to pick me up at 8:50am.
- At my home. - That's too late.
So I got there,
and everyone was waiting for me.
- Oh, boy. - I came as the last one.
- You must've felt bad. - And...
they did my makeup in a hurry,
and my hair in a hurry.
And I was surprised people liked it.
Were you nameless then,
or were you kind of known?
My debut work,
and the commercial happened about the same time.
It was at the same time.
You got cast for a drama because of that,
and that didn't go well, did it?
That's right, isn't it?
It didn't connect.
Yes, after that, it didn't go quite well.
(It made him thirsty.)
- That's tough. - Making a hit drama takes work.
- Right. - Right.
Woo Min, you took a part-time job...
- as a backup dancer before? - Really?
When I was in college,
I liked dancing and singing.
And they came to scout me.
- That was MBC. - I see.
Before I acted, I was in a show called "Young 11".
It's called "Young 11".
Hwang Shin Hye was also in there!
Shin Hye was a junior to me.
I was a dancer there for about six months.
They were the "Young Stars".
("Young Stars" was the dance team of the show "Young 11" in the 1980s.)
You were very good at break dancing.
It was called the "Hustle".
There's a B1 and B2 in the dance.
B1 is...
you stretch your arms like this.
B2 is more about spinning your arms.
- I see. - Show us!
- You have to show us. - Right.
(Show us the right way.)
That's an old song.
(His arms are disciplined.)
It's one of those songs at roller skating places.
(His arms are disciplined.)
(The "Hustle" dance looks great.)
- That's it! - Right.
That's it.
(He finishes with a poke.)
That's the one.
Don't you sit down and get up at the end?
My knees hurt.
(His knees hurt.)
But you still got it.
- You think so? - You can still do that spin.
There used to be something called the UCDC,
it's United College Dancing Club.
I was the president of a dancing club...
with all the colleges in it.
We asked him to do it without notice,
and he did it perfectly.
He definitely did not dance recently.
(He definitely did not dance recently.)
Ki Young, you sighed too much when you were nameless...
- you had a panic disorder. - Really?
- That happens. - But that's unusual for a rookie.
It just made him angry.
No, it's not.
You feel anxious.
- And... - I felt self-conscious.
Right.
- And I'm getting older. - That's right.
Looking back, it was nothing.
My friend from school,
when I was doing commercials,
was playing extras in dramas.
And he bragged about it.
- He was ahead of you. - Yes.
I wanted to be like him, but I saw no opportunity.
- I see. - I see.
I kept sighing at home about it,
and I hyperventilated.
And then,
that led to angina.
- Really? - Yes.
- You're pretty sensitive. - I am.
He must have provoked you a lot.
He was pretty arrogant.
Even when we were drinking.
- "Who do you think you are?" - He didn't want to drink with me.
"You're not allowed to sit with me," something like this?
- No one has a friend like that. - Are you feeling fine now?
- No one. - This isn't a class society.
It led me being self-conscious,
and I was very upset.
Do you get along with him?
I'm very close with him.
And we analyze together when work comes in.
You feel more stressed when a closed one gets ahead of you.
- You're right. - It's fine if he's not close.
He must be feeling stressed now.
They're way past that.
I'd say there's a gap between us.
(I'd say there's a gap between us.)
- Right. - You...
That friend knows for sure.
He must be hyperventilating.
(Their positions have changed.)
Hyun Jin, you only watch dramas that doesn't hurt you?
It's been a while since I made the debut.
There are friends who are...
ahead of me.
- Like he said. - Who are your colleagues?
- Kim Soo Hyun. - Oh, boy.
(He made the debut with Kim Soo Hyun.)
You should be sighing a lot.
- He'll be hyperventilating. - He's way too ahead.
- Right. - Right.
- He's way too ahead. - Soo Hyun and I...
were in a sitcom together.
We made the debut with the same work.
Wasn't that on MBC?
Yes, "Kimchi Cheese Smile".
- Right. - "Kimchi Cheese Smile".
We were in there together.
(Young Soo Hyun and Hyun Jin in the past)
(Soo Hyun was just a cute kid to him.)
Actors who are about my age,
or dramas I think I might be...
good at.
- You try not to watch them. - Yes.
So I watch movies more,
and try not to watch dramas.
There's not much to watch.
What do you watch?
- No, that's not it. - What do you watch?
Do you watch "Country Diaries"?
That's the only thing without actors at his age!
There's a channel that plays older dramas.
- Like "Taejo Wang Geon". - Right.
Although he was on it with you,
but the comments say you were more popular...
than Soo Hyun on the drama.
That's what I heard.
- That's got to hurt. - Actually...
But the comments say you were more popular...
than Soo Hyun on the drama.
- That's got to hurt. - Actually...
we were about the same in the level of awareness...
to compare who was more popular.
- At that time. - At that time.
Who played the leading role?
From "Kimchi Cheese Smile"?
(It was me.)
You were the leading role?
That's why he doesn't watch dramas. It's upsetting!
- He played the leading role. - And no one noticed.
No one even remembers the name.
- I just remembered. - You just remembered.
I remember the name "Kimchi Cheese Smile".
(The leading role next to Soo Hyun was me.)
(One of the leading roles with Um Ki Joon was me.)
It breaks my heart.
That's not it.
When I watch an interview,
they talk about how we were in the same drama,
and how different we are now.
But it all seems meaningless to me.
When Soo Hyun and I went to Hongdae,
- no one recognized us. - But...
you were a leading role in the sitcom.
It wasn't for everyone.
It was for certain viewers.
- So few people recognized. - Yes.
I have a lot of stories with him.
There were four people on the swim team.
And we all went to shoot at...
a girls' high school in Yeouido.
We were waiting there.
The students all came out,
and wanted to know what it was.
There was a guy called Choi Kwon...
on the swim team with me.
They came to him,
and asked him what we were filming.
("What are you guys filming?)
All four of us were there.
It's difficult to say it in that situation.
Maybe they thought you were part of the staff.
- That happens a lot. - Right.
- It must have broken your heart. - What?
When I asked you who the leading role was.
I didn't know.
I didn't know he was the leading role.
You're just like the high school student.
(You're just like the high school student.)
- You're playing supporting roles. - Yes.
- And you're relieved that... - Yes.
- you didn't fall from so high. - Right.
I fell from a mid-level of awareness.
It hurts less.
If I were this much popular,
and it all became nothing,
I could have been devastated by such a huge gap.
I might even suffer from severe depression.
Woo Min, you have licenses for driving...
- boats and airplanes? - For light aircraft.
I thought it could...
help me to be a better actor by learning all these.
So I learned them all.
Where did you get the aircraft license?
From the Philippines?
From Aerospace University.
- From University? - Yes.
- The one near here? - Yes.
When I was taking the technical test,
I still can't forget this.
I was landing,
then I made a mistake.
The plane span once.
The propeller shattered.
I was lucky to survive.
Had the propeller hit the window, I would have died.
It flew over the window...
- and shattered. - It's dangerous.
I did that.
Do you have something?
My goodness, he has a magic pocket.
- He has everything. - There are a lot of things.
- Why do you carry your licenses? - Let's see it.
I was afraid you wouldn't believe me.
I guess there are a lot of people who don't believe him.
Korea Underwater Association. What kind of a card is this?
- It shows I am a lifeguard. - A lifeguard.
What is this?
I got a boating license.
- A boating license. - It's a type one boating license.
How big could the boat be?
I can pilot a boat that holds up to 47 people.
I have a question. Many people are worried...
since you haven't worked...
- in the past few years. - That's right.
"How does he make a living?" Many people are worried.
Actually, I didn't save up that much money.
Isn't that your thought?
- Yes, it's my thought. - He is right.
Aren't people worried?
- Yes, they are. - People are worried.
My wife is really worried, too.
- I knew it. - You are right.
She couldn't understand why I only look after the child.
But for five years,
I wanted to spend time...
with the child from the bottom of my heart.
I think it's necessary.
Since five years have passed,
I want to start over again.
Even if I start over again, I am confident I will do well.
Do you know why?
I lived diligently.
I really lived diligently.
I told my wife,
"I will be on Radio Star."
"I will start over."
What would you have done if we hadn't invited you?
"Woo Min is not an issue these days."
Stop joking.
I am serious when I say this.
There were many programs,
but I decided to start with Radio Star.
I decided to start with Radio Star.
- Yi Rang, you run a restaurant. - It's the talk of the town.
Your husband makes a mistake whenever celebrities come.
When he sees Choi Min Soo,
he says, "He is like me." That's how manly he is.
But when he spots someone he knows in the middle of cooking,
he begins to tremble.
- He wants to do well. - Yes.
Is it an open kitchen?
Yes, it is. It's half open.
What kind of food do you serve?
Pho. We serve pho.
- Does your husband cook? - Yes, he does.
I will tell you later, but...
For how long do you want to talk about your business?
You should tell us now.
- In any case, - He learned in Vietnam.
he learned in Vietnam.
One time,
Shin Dong Yeob came and my husband trembled so hard.
He became lost when Dong Yeob ordered many dishes.
He jumped from one dish to another...
and ended up overcooking the noodles.
So he cooked the noodles again.
And it was overcooked again.
Time was passing.
He started over.
Then he overcooked the noodles again.
He got it right on his fourth try,
but he dropped the noodles in the broth.
My goodness.
He was so startled that he tried to pick them up...
and the broth went into the gloves and burned his hands.
My goodness.
Celebrities shouldn't visit the restaurant.
- I mean... - Celebrities, don't go.
Don't go.
- I mean... - If they go, the chef will tremble.
I ask celebrities to call in advance.
When I watched Yi Rang and her husband from the clip before,
I wonder how he switched from running a taekwondo center...
to Vietnamese pho restaurant.
My husband told me not to say this.
Since he is handsome, middle-aged women made advances.
Handsomeness has nothing to do with that.
- Because those women do taekwondo? - I was so anxious.
There were many middle-aged women at the taekwondo center.
I was so anxious.
It was...
all in your imagination.
Don't be ridiculous.
You are the one who asked him to change his profession.
- I did ask him, but... - You agreed to it.
- That's right. - We had no time together...
because he was busy from morning to night.
To spend more time together,
I worked on the interior design...
and opened a pho restaurant as the CEO.
My husband is the cook.
It's really good...
to be together.
If he really is that handsome,
the restaurant shouldn't have an open kitchen.
That's why...
I want to pull down a shade...
so that only his body will be visible.
He isn't that handsome.
He isn't that handsome?
He said...
I will need someone smart by my side...
in case I become nervous.
"I will tag along and help you."
He said a shot of his side profile...
will be the talk of the town.
He wanted to come,
but I told him not to do that.
Did he say he will be the talk of the town?
- He said... - If he comes,
he will tremble.
You are right. He really trembles.
He can't even say hello because he trembles so much.
It could be a good test to discern a celebrity's popularity.
If he trembles, you are a celebrity.
If he doesn't, you should work harder.
It's a good idea.
(It's a good idea.)
Hyun Jin, when you were on a reward vacation for a drama,
you got stuck in the netherworld at 7:30am.
The thing is,
we went to Phuket.
- It was for "Sky Castle". - Yes.
When we arrived, it was about 11pm.
No one wanted to go to bed, so the young ones...
I am the oldest in the group.
We gathered around and had a few drinks.
We got up to go to bed...
around 2am.
Choi Won Young spotted me and said,
"Is this your room?"
- "We should drink together." - He drinks a lot.
We drank until 7:30am.
He drinks over a long period of time.
We supposed to do zip line ride in the morning day after.
The next day we had the boat tour and everything.
When I woke up, it was 4pm.
I couldn't go on a zip line ride.
Seo Hyung called me...
because she and I are close.
She said, "Hyun Jin, come on over."
The senior actors were drinking together.
That didn't end until 8:30am.
- You drank all night long. - Yes.
8:30am.
You were only awake during the night.
Why did you go?
I looked outside and thought,
"Why did I come here?"
You didn't even get to enter the pool.
It was so exhausting.
I got a muscle cramp.
I told you this earlier,
but Ji Sang Yeol and I had...
eight hours of free time after a shoot in Turkey.
"Kyeong Hwan, let's go and drink."
A Chinese restaurant was our first stop.
After drinking for a while,
we went to a Japanese restaurant. That was our second stop.
We went to four places together.
When I got on the plane,
I had a really bad headache.
I was in so much pain that I went to the flight attendant.
"I am in so much pain. Please give me some medicine."
In English, she said I need to talk to a doctor.
I needed a prescription.
I asked her to call a doctor.
In the quite plane, I suddenly heard,
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an emergency."
Suddenly,
- it was an emergency. - You were only hungover.
I didn't want her to look for a doctor among the passengers.
I thought there was a doctor among the crew.
Flight attendants don't walk around when the light is off, right?
In that situation,
- they lined up. - That's right.
They began to ask each passenger.
- They tried to find a doctor. - "Excuse me."
"Are you a doctor?"
I was so surprised...
that I got better right away.
I went up to the flight attendant and said,
"I am okay!"
"Cancel, please."
(I am okay! Cancel, please.)
Yi Rang, you are a comedy teacher...
of Hwang Je Seong, Hong Yun Hwa, and Hur An Na.
A comedy teacher?
- Actually, - They are successful.
I worked as an instructor at an academy.
- I see. - That's how I came to know...
- the three of them. - Who was the funniest?
Hwang Je Seong was really funny back then.
Then why isn't he funny on Radio Star?
He got a bit better.
- Really? - Yes.
I heard Je Seong is your senior comedian now.
Let me tell you how it happened.
As I worked as an instructor, I became ambitious.
I took the exam belatedly.
I joined MBC after I passed the exam.
If Je Seong had joined 2 or 3 years earlier,
I wouldn't have to face him much.
But he had joined a year earlier.
It's unusual that student became a senior comedian.
- At first, - How did you handle it?
he pulled me aside.
He called me Ms. Jung and said,
"When we are alone, I won't act as a senior comedian."
I told him not to do that.
"Since you joined a year earlier, you are my senior comedian."
"Don't do that, okay?"
Then he began to go,
"Hey, Myung Ok!"
(Hey, Myung Ok!)
He didn't go easy on me.
What would you have done?
I would have stayed polite.
I would have done that.
- "Ms. Jung." - But she is a junior comedian.
"Ms. Jung, sit up."
"What is your problem?"
"Would you like a penalty?"
(It's oddly annoying.)
Yi Rang, is there someone...
you want to send a video message to?
(My goodness.)
To tell you the truth, I am a fan of Lee Juck.
I was obsessed with him in high school.
I cut out his picture...
and carried it in my pocket.
One day, Juck... Juck...
Where should I begin?
I was at a music program.
- She is excited. - No, something came before that.
I found his yearbook.
- You were really a big fan of him. - I put it in here.
What are you doing?
Don't interrupt me. I want to say this.
Okay.
I found his number on the back of his yearbook.
I called him.
"Hello."
He actually picked up.
"I am your fan."
"Why aren't you out today?"
He said, "I am going out now."
I said, "Oh, okay." Then I hung up.
I thought to myself, "I should have said something more."
Then I went to the broadcasting station.
When I was in the elevator,
- the door opened... - Did he get in?
and Juck...
People rushed in...
and Juck ended up standing next to me.
I was so nervous because I was a big fan.
I was so nervous...
that I wanted the elevator to blow up.
I was so nervous.
- You wanted to die with him. - Yes, I wanted to die with him.
- I didn't know what to do. - You wanted your life to end then.
Once the elevator door opens and Juck gets off,
- it's over. - Yes.
I wanted to leave my mark,
so I left the crumbs of the snack I was eating...
- on Juck's shoulder. - You sprinkled it.
I sprinkled it.
You were obsessed.
Then he left.
Then years passed.
I was at a sundae soup restaurant.
- Was there another encounter? - When did that happen?
It happened recently.
It hasn't even been two years.
- You should've talked to him. - And then...
- Juck... - He must know who you are.
Don't interrupt me.
Upon seeing Juck,
I left the restaurant.
I didn't know what to do.
I was about to collapse from nervousness.
I called my friend and said,
"I came to buy sundae soup, but there is Juck. What do I do?"
She said, "Hurry up and bring back sundae soup."
"Should I say hello or not?"
"Do what you want. Just bring back sundae soup."
I went back inside the restaurant...
and ordered sundae soup.
I couldn't leave that way,
so I approached him quietly. Thankfully, there was water by him.
Does he recognize you?
I was pouring water.
We will get to it.
My goodness, he looked at me.
I said, "Hello."
He said, "Oh, my. I'm a fan of yours."
So I said, "Me too. I'm a fan of yours."
I got so excited.
Luckily, there was...
no empty seat in the restaurant.
And I had to wait until my food came out.
So I drank with him for about 20 minutes.
You became a celebrity and drank with him.
We had a nice chat while drinking...
and talking about the old days.
And then my food came out.
I said goodbye to him and got up. But then he said,
"Since we're fellow entertainers,"
"I'd like to get your number, but I'm not sure..."
"if it's appropriate because you are a woman."
This is what he said.
I could have been cool about it...
and given him my number.
But I said, "I understand." And I just left.
My friends said I was stupid.
They said I did it because I'm naughty.
There's nothing wrong about giving him my number...
- as his junior entertainer. - That's right.
She likes him so much.
- Make a video letter for him. - Oh, dear.
Which camera should I look at?
She's such a big fan. Wouldn't your husband get jealous?
I don't even care.
Hi, Juck.
Oh, right. I'd like to apologize to you first.
I gave you a chocolate basket...
when I met you at the music show.
One of the chocolates in the basket...
I wanted to leave my trace.
So I put it in my mouth, took it out, and wrapped it again.
Gosh, that's so gross.
I don't know if you ate it or not,
but I've been feeling so bad about it until now.
- You did it with a pure heart. - That's right.
(With a pure heart)
Will this be aired?
I don't know.
I said everything I wanted to say.
It'll be aired since she seemed very desperate.
- Suk Chun, I'm sorry. - Are you making a video letter?
I threw the flower too hard at the wedding.
You must've been upset.
10 years have passed,
but I'm still sorry for you.
- Woo Min... - Will this be aired?
No.
It won't be aired.
Do you think you can start anew when you act like this?
Can he start anew when he lost his touch?
(We hope you recover your touch soon.)
Ki Young, is it true that you cried because of your fiancee?
My girlfriend and I adopted...
a puppy together.
(His puppy Pupu)
Pupu is its name.
One day, we had a big fight.
She broke up with me saying it's not working.
(They ended up breaking up after a fight.)
After that, she walked up to the puppy and said,
"Pupu."
"You won't see me anymore."
- Oh, my. - "Take good care of yourself."
And then she left.
I started crying behind her.
(While watching her from behind, he started wailing.)
Of course.
I stopped her as soon as she walked out.
(He stopped her right away.)
I rarely cried.
She brings out your emotions.
I cry more easily now.
I learned from her about the emotions...
that I didn't even know that I had.
(Her love improved his sensitivity.)
Hyun Jin hasn't become successful in the past 10 years...
because of his love life.
When I was active as an actor...
and about to become a rising star, I met a girl whom I loved so much.
- You gave all to love. - That's right.
So it was hard to perform at my very best.
If I finish a shoot at midnight, I hung out with her until 4am.
(He met her even when he finished a shoot late.)
Since I didn't get enough sleep, I couldn't read my script.
You haven't become successful for a reason.
It wasn't because you weren't lucky with works.
- There was another reason. - Right.
That's a typical way to ruin your career.
She and I loved each other very much.
And we made a lot of effort to keep our relationship happy.
I think it's men who are influenced by their girlfriends.
I didn't know how to express my affection before I met her.
Also, I learned that I could get angry when I was with her.
- Before you served in the military? - That's right.
After I was discharged, I pulled myself together.
I've been working hard ever since.
Do you stay in touch with her?
- No, I don't. - Of course.
You are famous now.
Didn't you get a text from an unknown number...
that said, "How are you doing? I enjoyed your drama."
I don't answer calls from unknown numbers.
I understand.
(I understand.)
Ki Young,
is there a variety show you can't watch because of your love life?
When switching channels... Kyeong Hwan appears on the show.
- "Love Me Actually"? - When I watch shows like that,
it makes my heart flutter.
Watching handsome men and pretty girls play games together.
It's my last time for dating a girl publicly.
What about Oh Na Mi?
(What about Oh Na Mi?)
- That was unexpected. - Why would you bring her up?
- She came across my mind. - It's in the past now.
It's in the past?
Did Na Mi text you?
"I've been enjoying your show."
I don't answer calls...
(I don't answer calls from unknown numbers.)
from unknown numbers.
(Always beware of unknown numbers!)
Yi Rang, I heard that you were obsessed with your husband...
when you were dating him.
It's not that I was obsessed with him.
We had different ways to make up after a fight.
My husband needed some time away from me...
so he could organize his thoughts before he meets me again.
- I see. - But I...
- talk it out right then and there. - I see.
I feel relieved only if we make up and hug each other.
That's the kind of person I am.
- Impatient people tend to do so. - However...
- You're a feisty type. - Yes. One day,
we were fighting, and it seemed to be getting worse.
He said, "Don't even call me. I'm leaving."
"Don't stop me."
I said, "I'll kill you if you turn around. Don't turn around."
- If he turned around... - But he turned around and left.
He walked away from me, and I went after him.
He saw me walking behind him,
and he started running, so I ran too.
I ran to catch him.
"Stop right there."
But he ran really fast.
- I couldn't catch him. - He was too fast.
I didn't know what to do to stop him. Then I screamed.
"Pickpocket! Please stop that pickpocket!"
- And then... - Gosh. That's mean.
The people who were there around him...
showed their civic consciousness...
and caught him by knocking him down.
(Poor him.)
I was taken aback.
Things got too serious.
- Right. - They dragged him...
as if he was nailed to a cross.
I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't resolve the situation.
Did you just leave there?
You could've said, "He stole my heart."
(Could she have said that?)
It's so funny when you see couples fighting.
While arguing with each other,
the girlfriend seemed very angry.
Her boyfriend was following her...
saying, "Stop for a second and talk to me."
But then his shoes came off.
"Wait. My shoes came off." And she waited for him.
When he put them back on...
That's right.
I'm sure they made up quickly.
It's so funny.
(Were they fighting or not?)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who want to...
put down their burden as an actor.
"The Song To Sing To Put Down the Burden As an Actor".
Let's hear the song that Ki Young chose first.
("Seasons" by Kang Ki Young)
(Ki Young wrote the lyrics for his marriage proposal.)
- Is it your own song? - Right.
- Did you write the lyrics? - Really?
I wrote only some part of the lyrics.
Jung Goo Hyeon, the composer, sounds familiar.
My close friend is a songwriter.
So is it an unreleased song?
- We made it hastily. - Right.
- He hasn't released the song. - I meant to sing it...
at our wedding to celebrate our wedding.
- But you'll sing it here? - But since I was invited...
- to this show... - It's a proposal song.
Let's hear "Seasons" by Kang Ki Young.
(Ki Young will sing "Seasons".)
I happened to...
appear on Radio Star...
(Dear my bride.)
and get a chance to sing my proposal song for you.
I hope this will cheer you up.
Let's work together to hold our wedding with no problem.
And let's have many babies and live together happily.
Thank you. I love you.
Great.
- It was nice. - "Seasons".
("Seasons" by Kang Ki Young)
(Nervous)
(I thought it was a coincidence)
(But you came to me like a present)
(He tries to calm himself...)
(and sing every word from the bottom of his heart.)
(He can't hide his happiness.)
(My life was always like a cold winter.)
(But you, who held out your hand first,)
(changed my life...)
(into a warm season.)
(My heart is drenched in you.)
(This shining day is engraved in my heart)
(You see)
(I promise to protect)
(Happy)
(Your beautiful smile)
(Just like you made me feel warm like in spring)
(Whenever you turn your head)
(I will be within your reach)
(Will you walk with me...)
(looking in the direction every day?)
(The days...)
(when you stayed by my side)
(Thank you...)
(for smiling at me.)
(Now I'm going to...)
(start my life anew with you.)
(As we got through)
(the seasons)
(of this world)
- It's cute. - That was great.
You wrote beautiful lyrics and sang well.
It'll be the best marriage proposal for your girlfriend.
- Exactly. - Yes. I owe it all to Radio Star.
Go camping with her on the day this episode is aired,
and using a beam projector to watch the show together.
- I'm thinking of doing that. - It would be romantic.
That's a good idea.
Now shall we hear the song that Yi Rang chose?
("Sorrow" by Cool, the greatest hit of the legendary group Cool)
(The song describes a couple's conversation realistically.)
Oh, my. This is my favorite song.
Would you like to sing with me?
He'll really sing with you.
(He'll really sing with you.)
When I was in high school,
I often sang this song at a coin karaoke.
Coin karaoke.
I always danced and acted funny while singing,
and my friends said it was funny.
- And exciting. - I, too, sing this song first...
and dance while singing when I go to a karaoke.
- Do you? - Yes.
- Then... - Sing with her.
- Don't stop - I'll sing the male part.
- You sing the female part... - My love
Listen to me, please.
(Clenching her teeth)
- I was the only one talking... - What was that?
while we were chatting for three hours.
Do you think that makes sense?
I guess he felt bad for that.
- "Sorrow" by Cool. - I'll just listen.
- Yi Rang will sing this song. - It's my favorite song.
- Great. - Oh, my.
She looks like a diver.
She prepared some props.
I do the same thing at a karaoke.
Look at her gloves. They're used when lighting charcoal...
at barbecue restaurants.
- They're ski gloves. - He's right.
Hello, everyone. Since I'm on Radio Star,
I will sing Cool's "Sorrow" for you.
"Sorrow" by Cool.
Lee Jae Hoon and Yuri, please come out.
("Sorrow" performed by Jung Yi Rang)
(Lee Jae Hoon is here!)
(Dancing excitedly,)
(she imitates Jae Hoon in the 1990s.)
(Here's another parody on her list.)
(She's playing Yuri this time.)
(This is my part.)
(She looks and sounds just like Yuri this time.)
(Woo Min is copying her too.)
(You too?)
(Me too.)
(Jae Hoon is back.)
(She's singing alone, but it's as if there's a duo on the stage.)
(She's a natural born actress who can play a double role.)
(She's amazing.)
(She doesn't mind playing an old lady, a fool,)
(or even webfoot octopus if only she can act.)
(There is no actress like you.)
(The passionate performance of the actress we all trust)
I can't do it like her.
She's incredible.
She prepared a lot.
- That was great. - Woo Min tried to join her...
without knowing she prepared a lot.
Today's theme was "Fantastic Actors and Where to Find Them".
Kyeong Hwan was our today's special MC.
- How do you feel? - He did a great job.
Don't just invite me from time to time.
Don't look far.
I'll be with you.
- He did an excellent job today. - That's right.
He did better than when he was here as a guest, right?
- Right. - I had so much fun.
- You didn't talk about yourself. - Exactly.
I prefer talking about other people.
A dancer, a model, and a comedian.
Each of you started your career in a different field,
but all four of you have passion about acting.
Please play in many dramas and movies...
regardless of the role...
or the genre.
We want to see you often.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
("Candy to My Ears" will be aired next Wednesday.)
