(Suncheon in June)
- It's really nice here. - I know.
I didn't know this place existed in Suncheon.
(The fragrant garden is full of green.)
These flowers don't normally grow like this, do they?
(The eye popping painting-like scene with flowers from around the world)
They look like they're from cartoons.
Look at that bridge.
It's really beautiful.
(Next to the blue bridge that feels like you're crossing a river,)
It reminds me of...
It'd be nice to look down from up there.
(there's a small hill surrounded by green)
The weather is also perfect.
- Suncheon... - There's a wifi zone over there.
It's a giant wifi zone. Check it out.
(The giant wifi is emitting oxygen.)
- Wifi. - Wifi.
- "Wifi." - That's where...
fast internet is coming from.
Hello.
How did you find such beautiful place?
- It's really nice. - It's really nice.
This is a landmark of Suncheon, nature friendly city,
and Korea's only national garden.
Oh, only.
- It's Suncheonman National Garden. - Okay.
It's a national garden?
You mean it belongs to the country?
- My goodness. - Nice.
(1 of the world's 5 coastal wetlands, Suncheonman)
(The national garden was created...)
(to protect precious nature.)
(It's my home.)
(The national garden was created to protect precious nature.)
(Suncheonman National Garden is Korea's 1st national garden.)
(Who invited them here?)
Today's master is...
the first honorary ambassador...
of Suncheonman National Garden.
- Who is it? - A national garden.
An honorary ambassador of a national garden?
Then let me guess.
That person is highly likely from Suncheon.
Right. It's highly likely a native.
A celebrity who represents South Jeolla Province?
Today's hint giver...
is in a risky place...
where every second counts.
(A risky place?)
So it's actually very hard to call him.
(If it's someone who's busy in a site...)
(that doesn't even allow him to answer a phone call...)
(They get a clear image across their minds.)
But for today's master,
he spared his precious time...
to send us a video hint.
I think I know without watching.
(I think I know without watching the video.)
Someone in a place...
where every second counts...
(They solved only 1 riddle out of 20.)
Is it...
Is it Professor Lee Guk Jong?
It's Lee something.
The famous figure?
He was on...
the Master in the House Car, right?
Right.
(Once upon a time, there was the Master in the House Car.)
(When you open the door,)
(there were 100 masters to shine Master in the House...)
(whom they invited with hope.)
(Among them,)
(they wanted to meet...)
(Professor Lee Guk Jong the most.)
He's Korea's top surgeon...
He's right. Right.
- He's right. - How did you know?
It's him?
- He's right. - It's him?
- Aren't I a genius? - Right.
- Didn't you know? - I had no idea.
Based on that information?
It's true.
I hope he makes an appearance as our master.
Hello.
I'm Lee Guk Jong from Ajou University Hospital.
- Korea's hero. - He received...
Order of Civil Merit, Rose of Sharon Medal.
It's the top medal.
(Is the master related to Professor Lee Guk Jong?)
Ever since I graduated med school,
in clinical training...
and was a resident,
I've been seeing him.
- What? - What?
He's true master?
(The professor's master)
Then he must be a medical personnel.
- Medical personnel? - Yes.
Even after that, when I was in dorm,
and every time I'm on volunteer medical service internationally,
I'm still benefiting from your help.
As a traumatologist,
I owe you a lot.
My goodness. The head of national emergency medical field...
says that he owes a lot.
- How influential is the master? - I know.
He must be a very powerful figure.
The Korean ambulance business he initiated...
became the foundation of today's...
ambulance that we see on daily basis.
My goodness! Really?
Master created the Korean ambulance?
I thought the country was responsible for the ambulance.
I know.
(The ambulance aims to save patients by pursuing the golden hour.)
(Master built the foundation of current patient delivery system.)
(Clueless)
Who could he be?
Overall, it is needless to say that...
the Korean medical field was able to upgrade because of him.
(Master upgraded the overall Korean medical field.)
I'm always thankful for your work. Thank you.
He really called him his master.
(He's Professor Lee's actual master!)
- He must be a legend. - I know.
He must be legendary in the medical field.
My goodness...
He must be equivalent to Heo Jun.
(He must be equivalent to Heo Jun.)
- I know. - He must be Heo Jun.
- Yes, you're right. - He's the contemporary Heo Jun.
- That's true. - He's Heo Jun.
- He must be on the same level. - He must be legendary as Heo Jun.
- He marked a new era in history. - Yes.
(Master must be a legend who marked a new era like Heo Jun!)
Master sent an invitation...
for you guys.
- Really? - An invitation?
(Master Heo Jun's warm invitation)
(Seong Jae passes it to Seung Gi right away.)
(Speechless)
It's not written in Korean.
(It's not written in Korean.)
Is this written in English?
- He sent an English invitation. - In my opinion,
he's a foreigner.
(He must be a foreign Heo Jun.)
But doctors frequently write in...
- English. - Most doctors are good at English.
No, they usually write medical terms in English.
They wouldn't write the entire thing in English.
His writing is...
I'm confused.
"Dear friends,"
Can you read it out loud, Se Hyeong?
Okay. "Dear friends,"
- Dear friends, - Yes.
We know what it means.
- "I am... I am a..." - "Chon-nom"?
"A country bumpkin..."
- "A country bumpkin..." - A country bumpkin?
A country bumpkin. He called himself a country bumpkin.
- A country bumpkin. - Like the word we know of?
"Who..."
"loves..."
"Suncheon!"
"Suncheon, my hometown."
- It's his hometown. - Then you're right when you said...
- So he's from Suncheon. - Suncheon...
is his hometown that he loves, and he's a country bumpkin.
- So he must be Korean. - He has...
a sense of humor.
He's Korean.
- I knew it. His writing was messy. - His hometown is Suncheon.
His writing is kind of messy, don't you think?
(He is relieved.)
He wanted to be seen like he's good at English...
with the cursive letters.
- The terrorist? - The happiest!
The happiest!
(He wrote "the happiest", not "the terrorist.")
You know that those words...
are the exact opposite, right?
Do you have to correct me every time like that?
- You're being too harsh. - That was necessary.
He really had to correct you for this one. It meant the opposite.
- "The happiest Korean..." - So he is...
the happiest Korean who lives in Korea.
What are the best qualities of Koreans?
(What are the best qualities of Koreans that he is asking?)
- What are they? - What could it be?
- What are the best qualities? - See you soon.
"I will be waiting for you at the..."
"Below address."
Where is this place? The address?
I have really bad eye sight.
(I'm good at making guesses, but I have bad eye sight.)
But it's so bright out here.
My eye sight's getting worse.
- "11..." - "11 Maesan-gil, Suncheon."
No, it's Masan-gil!
- It's Maesan-gil. - Sorry, it's Maesan-gil. It's "ae."
What's wrong with you today?
(It's clearly "Maesan-gil.")
- 11 Maesan-gil. - 11 Maesan-gil.
"Suncheons..."
- 11 gil. - It's Suncheon-si.
Suncheon-si.
Did you just say "Suncheons"?
I thought that was an exclamation mark at the end.
(Suncheons!)
Okay then.
It's so hot today.
- Okay, let's get going! - Let's go!
The hero of the medical industry...
and the master of Professor Lee Guk Jong.
We're off to meet him now.
(The members arrived...)
- 11 Maesan-gil. Right? - Yes.
(at the address that was written in the invitation.)
- So he is a doctor! - Yes, he is!
(The mysterious building that welcomes SangSeungHyeongJae)
- Is this a hospital? - Suncheon Christian Clinic.
Suncheon Christian Clinic.
(It's a modern hospital that could be seen in the movies.)
We call this a modern construction, don't we?
It's very unique.
(It looks very different from other hospitals.)
It's beautiful.
Does he actually work here?
It seems like it's been a long time since this hospital was built.
Is this an actual clinic?
- It says it's a clinic. - He still works here, right?
- Isn't this a movie set? - That was my idea.
It really does look like a movie set.
(Or is it...)
"Registered Cultural Heritage 127."
"Former Southern Presbyterian Church, Suncheon."
"Registered Cultural Heritage of Korea."
By Cultural Heritage Administration.
(It evokes a lot of questions...)
This place is great.
(It evokes a lot of questions just from its appearance.)
- Should we go inside? - Let's go inside.
(Who could be the master inside this building?)
Hello.
(Hello?)
Excuse me.
She's Korean. Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Even though the invitation was written in English,)
(the inside of the hospital...)
They still have the tickets for medical treatment.
(is preserved as a clinic in the older times.)
Let's get it. Hello.
(He's getting a ticket to get his treatment.)
(Reception)
- Hello. - Hello. What brings you here?
Master invited us to the hospital today.
- Did you get a ticket? - Yes.
Please wait for your turn over there.
He's with a patient right now.
So master is a real doctor?
Of course he's a doctor. This is a hospital.
(Today's master is officially a doctor!)
(Gosh.)
What kind of doctor is he?
You can think of him as a family doctor.
- I see. - He worked here for over 60 years.
- 60 years? - Yes.
(The hospital was built over 60 years ago.)
This hospital was built 60 years ago.
- 60 years? - Yes.
It looks like the one we can see in the movies.
Where did I put the invitation?
(He is reading the invitation again while he's waiting for the master.)
But the invitation is written in English.
Why is the invitation written in English?
But what if... Wait.
What if he's not Korean?
(What should we do if he's not Korean?)
How are we going to communicate?
- That's not a problem. - We should say "Nice to meet you."
How do you do?
(We should say, "Nice to meet you", right away.)
(But what about after the greetings?)
We have to be with him for the entire day.
(They have to be with him for the entire day.)
Then we...
- What number is that? - It's 22.
Mine is 22.
- It's 22. - Will you wait here?
Okay.
(I'm not finished practicing English yet.)
I can't believe this.
(Master is inside the office.)
I can't believe this.
(For any circumstance,)
(they're practicing English.)
I still have no idea...
- who the master is going to be. - Me too.
It's our first time that all of us are clueless.
- You're right. - Right.
(As they are talking,)
(the office door opens.)
Wait a second.
(Listening)
(They're trying to listen...)
(to the voice of the mysterious master.)
- Hold my hand. I'll assist you. - Okay.
(I can't hear very well.)
(An old lady is coming outside after her treatment.)
- Goodness. - Hello.
- Hello, how did you do? - It went well.
Is the doctor a foreigner?
- Yes, he's a foreign doctor. - Is he...
(A foreign doctor?)
- He's leaving tomorrow. - Yes.
He's a foreign doctor, and he's leaving tomorrow?
(According to the old lady, he's a foreigner who leaves tomorrow.)
(She leaves after confusing the members.)
Stay well, ma'am.
(The hint giving old lady leaves.)
(Master is a foreigner.)
(What do we do now?)
Seung Gi will take care of this.
(We believe in you, Seung Gi!)
You're prepared for the greetings.
(You seemed pretty confident.)
Okay. Got it.
Nice to meet you. How do you do?
How do you do?
(In a hospital in Suncheon,)
(Seung Gi is practicing an English conversation at the last minute.)
- Go inside already. - Let's go inside.
(The practice is over.)
(Nice to meet you. How do you do?)
Hello.
(After all the practice, he spoke in Korean.)
Nice to meet you.
(He finally says, "Nice to meet you.")
- How do you do? - How do you do?
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
(They're saying all the greetings they know in English.)
It's very nice to meet you.
Long time no see.
(Long time no see?)
(It's our first time meeting.)
(It's Seong Jae's own way of greeting.)
(So...)
(Who is he?)
Are you a doctor?
(Are you a doctor?)
Yes, I'm a doctor.
We are...
Korean entertainers.
- I see. - Yes.
Have you heard of "Master in the House"?
(Have you heard of "Master in the House"?)
I see.
Our program is on SBS.
- Yes. - Yes?
You're Sang Yun?
- No, he is. - I see. He is.
- Sang Yun. - I'm Seung Gi.
- Seung Gi? I'm sorry. - Seung Gi.
- I'm Se Hyeong. - Se Hyeong.
(They shyly introduced themselves including Se Hyeong.)
I'm Six Cash.
(Sighing)
Did you say, "Six Cash"?
(It's Crazy Yuk's weird way of introducing himself.)
- What are you saying? - Sorry, I'm Seong Jae.
- Seong Jae, I know. - Seong Jae.
Unbelievable.
(He chose an advanced level of vocabulary.)
It's glad to see you.
What are you going to do with that level of English?
(What?)
(What are you going to do...)
(with that level of English?)
(How is he so good at speaking Korean?)
I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to speak the Jeolla dialect.
(He thinks they should give up speaking English.)
(His Jeolla dialect was unexpected.)
- Goodness. - You're really good.
- You're just... - Do you know who I am?
- No. - No.
(You are...)
- You're the doctor. - You're the doctor.
- You're today's master. - Yes.
- And... - Yes.
(He's trying to find clues.)
You're John...
(He's interested.)
- You're Jonah Linton. - You're Linton!
(They arduously say the answer.)
You're John A. Linton.
It's going to be tough today.
It's going to be tough?
It's going to be difficult...
to deal with this.
He's a bit...
(The members are glad to hear the mother tongue.)
It's great to see you today.
I need to see one more patient. Please wait.
- Yes. - Yes.
- We will. - Then we can talk upstairs.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Okay. - We'll wait outside.
We'll see you soon.
(They're gladly exiting with weight off their shoulders.)
It's so interesting.
(They seem more relieved than before.)
- He's amazing. - He kind of...
looks like Noh Joo Hyun.
Right?
(He looks like Noh Joo Hyun.)
It feels...
- really weird. - How is he so warm?
It feels really weird.
In fact, we've seen...
a lot of foreigners in our lives.
We'd see them on the streets.
I don't know if it's the environment,
but at first,
it felt like...
I've never seen a westerner before. It's weird.
I couldn't say a word.
It's like...
I've met someone with blue eyes...
for the first time.
(Right.)
I was drawn into him.
- Do you know he is? - Well...
Was it Georgia Linton?
No, John A. Linton.
- John... - A.
- Linton. Yes. - Linton.
- Is this it? - Yes.
("John Linton")
- That's him. - What?
- In Yo Han? - That's him.
That's a Korean name.
It says, "In Yo Han".
- He's father is... - It's not John "Ah" Linton.
(That's not his name.)
He was born in South Jeolla Province, Suncheon.
(They have one information about him.)
He's from Yonsei University, College of Medicine.
Severance Hospital.
I think he comes here every once in a while to treat patients.
The lady said he was leaving tomorrow.
That's why...
Professor Lee Guk Jong who gave you the hint...
left an introduction about him.
(Professor Lee Guk Jong's "Who is In Yo Han?")
Professor In Yo Han's great-grandfather...
came to Korea from America and settled in here.
The professor's family has devoted...
to people of Korea who had no nation,
and the family has...
deep roots in Korea.
(William Linton, Son-in-law)
They were here for four generations.
(They're the witnesses of Korean modern history.)
He an extraordinary family.
Professor In Yo Han's father was born in Korea,
but he studied theology in America.
When he heard the Korean War has begun,
he volunteered for the US navy,
and he was engaged in Incheon Landing Operation.
(He was a part of Incheon Landing Operation.)
(His blue-eyed father...)
He was a war veteran?
(risked his life for the good of Korea.)
(In Yo Han and his father, In Hugh)
Professor In Yo Han...
had to watch his father's sad death,
and he started the Korean ambulance business.
It was the original version of the ambulances...
that we see on the streets these days.
You could say they loved Korea more than the Korean people.
They have dedicated their whole life for the Korean society.
He has upgraded the Korean medical system...
of medical world in general...
as well as Family Medicine.
You cannot describe his achievements with words.
(His contribution to the Korean medical world is indescribable.)
We'll take a picture and see if anything changed.
You're enduring it quite well.
You shouldn't worry too much.
I'm always grateful for Professor In Yo Han.
Thank you.
(Thank you, Professor In Yo Han.)
I had to clap for this.
- He's extraordinary. - He's extraordinary.
It's not just him,
his whole family is extraordinary.
- As a Korean... - We should be thankful.
- We should be thankful.
That's how I'd put it.
(He's here.)
- Hello. - Yes.
Let's greet each other again.
I'm actually a doctor of Severance Hospital.
This is my hometown.
- I heard you were born in here. - Yes.
Suncheon is the center of the universe.
"The center of the universe."
It's the center of the universe?
(He's proud of his hometown, Suncheon.)
- We'll greet you in our own way. - Sure.
Master In, we hope you take good care of us today.
- We're Master in the House! - We're Master in the House!
(They greet him with respect and joy.)
It's a pleasure.
I'm flustered.
I appreciate it.
- You don't have to. - I was flustered.
(With a warm welcome from master...)
- We'll get upstairs and sit down, - Yes.
- and have a conversation. - Yes.
This was a hospital founded...
by my parents in the 60s.
- But it's currently a museum. - Yes.
- It's a museum? - Yes.
The third floor holds the keepsakes of the missionaries.
A lot of them are 100 years old. Or was it 120 years old?
(The 120 years of time remains intact here.)
- In 1895... - Yes.
(It was started by Eugene Bell in 1895.)
- That was when... - 1895?
it all started.
(Their love for Korea was passed on through generations for 120 years.)
This is history.
(He's showing love to Suncheon on the 1st floor.)
It's really a museum.
(And the 2nd floor shows the history of how they loved Korea until now.)
- Can we take a look? - Let's look around.
(The traces of 4 Linton generations remain intact here.)
There are signs on here.
It's very old.
- It tells you who used it, - Yes.
and when the person left Korea.
Take a look around.
It's like a set from a movie...
of the modern times.
- They preserved the place well. - Right.
(The memories of their ancestors still live in this place.)
It's all very neat.
Here's something interesting.
These are about 5, 60 years old.
- It was before the Korean War. - What?
I used to sleep on here.
- Right here? - On this bed.
Not in this building though.
Did we have bunk beds like this in Korea?
- Did you bring it here? - Yes, we brought it here.
Look at this table.
This is the oldest one.
This table got to Korea in 1895.
- This table? - That's over 100 years ago.
Weren't we still in Joseon Dynasty...
- in 1895? - We were.
- At the time of King Gojong. - King Gojong?
- This is that old? - Yes.
How is it...
My grandmother's father brought it here.
- Your grandmother's father? - Yes.
I was using this table at home until recently,
and we moved it to the museum here.
(The table is the witness of history that was used until recently.)
It's about 135 years old.
So your great grandfather brought it here?
Right. My father's maternal grandfather.
- Father's maternal grandfather? - Father's maternal grandfather?
Since he was my grandmother's father.
That word was... I think it has been...
about 15 years since I heard the word.
Then...
- He was... - it's the great-great-grandfather?
No, it's not.
The father's maternal grandfather.
Master, you know more than him.
(Master will soon ask him what his family clan is.)
Let's take a seat.
We can sit here?
Yes, you can.
(They're sitting down on a 130-year-old table.)
I feel like I should be extremely cautious.
Right.
(They're being careful in case they harm it.)
- It's an 100-year-old... - Walnut tree table.
The fact that I'm a doctor in Seoul Severance Hospital...
is not important.
I'm just a country bumpkin from Suncheon.
(I'm just a country bumpkin from Suncheon.)
This is my house.
Suncheon is my hometown.
Then what nationality...
do you have right now?
I was...
the first case of special naturalization.
- You were the 1st? - I was the 1st.
I've never heard of a special naturalization.
It was in March 21, 2012.
I became a Korean citizen.
(He's a Korean by nationality.)
- In 2012? - Yes.
- How did you... - I was given credit...
for my achievements to get the citizenship.
(Special naturalization is an act of granting Korean citizenship.)
My grandfather notified America of March 1st Independence Movement.
My father got here with MacArthur through Incheon Landing Operation.
He entered Korea with MacArthur.
MacArthur?
MacArthur we know? The man with a pipe?
MacArthur?
- Liam Neeson. - Right.
(That's a film.)
I am a troublesome person.
I worked as an interpreter during The Gwangju Uprising.
(He followed his father's footsteps.)
You were there too?
Your entire family...
- Your entire family is in history. - It's like...
the Korean version of "Forrest Gump".
When I was in the first year of medical school,
the school was ordered to be closed, so I came to Suncheon.
The students who have fled told me...
horrifying stories, so on May 25...
On May 25 of 1980,
I drove there, passing through seven checkpoints.
I went to the provincial government building,
and I moved around. And the foreign journalists saw me.
(The foreign journalists spotted him.)
I was a young man who could speak both English and Korean.
So the civilian army held an emergency press conference,
and I interpreted it.
(He interpreted the press conference at the pressing time.)
Because of that,
the US Embassy received a letter...
from Chun Doo Hwan administration.
They got a letter from The Fifth Republic of South Korea.
- "The 5th Republic". - "The 5th Republic".
It stated me as the leader of the protest.
So police officers in disguise followed me.
They followed me for about two years.
They continued to make my life hard.
It was November, autumn.
I joined a military training for students.
I heard you served the military.
Yes. I volunteered. I was a foreigner then.
I volunteered to serve the military even though I didn't have to.
I had military rations.
"Military rations".
I was based near Namhansanseong in Seongnam. I was trained.
I learned individual combat skills,
(He learned the combat skills in the Korean army as an American.)
and I learned to take shower in three minutes.
The three-minute shower.
You have to finish the shower in three minutes.
You have to take shower in three minutes.
Yes. When the whistle is blown, you run like a mad man.
(He's like a typical Korean who is proud of his military days.)
You are the living witness of Korean history.
Right.
You lived in Korea longer...
than in any other countries, right?
I lived in America for only eight years.
I am confused.
Do you speak English then?
I... Barely.
(He barely speaks English.)
(Mr. Suncheon Country Bumpkin is afraid to speak English.)
Do you know how hard it was to write in English?
- That's why... - It was obvious you struggled.
It looked like you wrote each letter with great strain.
I knelt down and wrote that.
(He knelt down to write it.)
(He knelt down before English.)
So we saw it right.
We said the person must've struggled to write it in English.
He tried hard.
(We could feel the sorrow of Korean people from his handwriting.)
I always carry my resident card.
Do you have your passport... No, I mean...
- Your Korean resident card. - Of course I should show you.
I was waiting for you to ask.
- You guys are... - He's got a lot of credit cards.
He really has it.
You must've taken this photo when you were really young.
There's no need to say that.
It's so fascinating.
- Why is your last name "In"? - Right, your last name.
In family of Suncheon.
I am the progenitor of In family of Suncheon.
- In family of... - In family of Suncheon.
- "In family of Suncheon"? - In family of Suncheon.
I am the progenitor.
- Right. - You are the first.
My wife is the queen.
- Queen? - Queen?
Why did you choose the family name "In"?
When you apply the first initial law to "Linton",
- "In". - "Lin" becomes...
"In".
(John gives them another Korean lesson.)
That's what I chose.
I chose the Korean name that is closest to my English last name.
Yo Han is John in English. Johnny.
So in this town, people all call me "Johnny".
- From "Joannes". - Nobody knows who "Yo Han" is.
(It proves that he goes by the name "Johnny".)
- It's getting more fascinating. - It's fascinating.
The toughest hurdle to overcome...
while living in Korea was...
(What was the hurdle?)
Koreans are so smart.
They are incredibly smart, you know.
I somehow passed the premedical course,
but I got a failing mark when I entered the medical course.
The problem was this.
The entire school knew...
that a westerner didn't make it.
The rumor spread.
I had to repeat a year, you know.
Baby one more time, you know?
(Baby one more time, you know?)
(He pronounces English in the most friendly way.)
I had to do it again.
- I can speak a bit of English. - "Baby one more..."
(I can speak a bit of English.)
He sounds like a Korean speaking English.
"Baby one more time, you know?"
So I went into the class.
I was so embarrassed that I kept my head down.
I had to study in that class for another year.
When I raised my head,
it turned out...
about 30 other students had failed too.
Students from the same class.
We all gathered in a pub in Sinchon.
"Did you fail too? I failed too."
I have a great power at the hospital.
There are people I entered school with, graduated with,
and failed with.
Yes.
"Yes!"
You are the legend of Yonsei University Medical School.
But as I was studying, I always had a yearning.
I yearned to live in Korea.
I had to take the state exam to do that. But the dean called me.
"Why don't you just not take it? I think you will fail."
A large part of the exam was written in Chinese characters.
They were proper nouns like "dislocation of the hip joint",
"lupous erythematosus", and many more.
(It makes them feel giddy.)
I told him I was confident,
but I wasn't confident at all.
For about three months... Like Han Seok Bong, you know?
I studied really hard for three months.
I didn't know all the Chinese characters,
but it was easy to recognize "red" of "lupous erythematosus".
I could read "hip joint"...
and "dislocation". I put them together.
(I put them together.)
- "Put them together". - "Put them together".
So I took the exam.
Two days before the announcement,
the dean told me that I passed.
I told him, "Don't lie to me."
"I'm not. I was worried, so I looked into it."
He was worried.
It felt as if 10 New Year's Day had come all at once.
(It felt as if 10 New Year's Day had come all at once.)
That's a very new expression.
"As if 10 New Year's Day had come all at once."
His expressions are better than ours.
What do we do?
"It felt as if 10 New Year's Day had come all at once."
I should use that expression later.
I really should.
Then I had to take an exam to go to the US.
I studied like crazy for 10 days and took the exam.
I was so mistreated in the US...
for having graduated in another country.
They didn't approve me.
The Americans didn't approve me.
The Americans.
They had no idea about Yonsei University.
They didn't know Korea.
They thought I went to a strange school in South America.
So I took the exam.
Isn't South America closer though?
South America is closer.
You made it sound like it was near Sokcho.
- It's right below the US. - .........
They thought I went to a strange school in South America.
So I took the exam.
Isn't South America closer though?
South America is closer.
You made it sound like it was near Sokcho.
- It's right below the US. - Their schools are awful.
(He's proud of Korea.)
I beat the 1st years, 2nd years, and 3rd years...
and ranked first.
(In the end, he became the top student.)
- You are amazing. - I went to the toilet...
and cried my heart out.
(Touched, he cried in the toilet.)
When I was coming out,
my shoulders were like this.
Your shoulders would've been lifted up high.
My neck became stiff.
- This is so fun. - Honestly,
we've never been more focused than we are now.
Right.
You were the first foreigner...
to pass Korea's state examination.
I am sure there were Chinese and Japanese Koreans.
But I am...
the one and only westerner.
Even until now? Has there been nobody else?
- None. - None.
From what I know, none.
He's a living legend.
You're the first in many things.
You were the first foreigner who was neutralized...
- on a special circumstance. - The first.
- The National Garden. - You were the first...
honorary ambassador of National Garden.
You are the progenitor of In family of Suncheon.
- What else? - I invented the Korean ambulance.
- I heard about it too. - That's...
It was 1984. It's a long story,
but my father got into a car accident.
(His father got into a car accident.)
There was no car to move him.
While moving him from Suncheon to Gwangju,
he passed away in the backseat of a taxi.
(There was no ambulance, so his father passed away in the taxi.)
(The bus driver who hit his father's truck was drunk-driving.)
(His father even joined the war for Korea.)
So I spent...
very painful times.
In 1992, my father's friends...
donated some money.
Using that money,
in the backyard of my house, I invented the Korean style ambulance.
(He made the Korean style ambulance.)
The existing ambulance made it very difficult to do a CPR inside.
It was too small. There was no space for equipments.
They called it an ambulance, but it was more like a bed taxi.
There was no space for equipments. You couldn't give first aid inside.
It was merely a transportation.
So I thought I'd just make it again.
(He decided to make a new one.)
(With his two hands,)
I made five models since then.
In 1995, it was completed.
At first, I remodeled a van.
Later, I remodeled a truck.
That's why it's box-shaped.
- Like the American style ambulance. - It was small,
so it could enter the narrow mountain paths.
It could go to the hill towns.
It could also run on countryside paths.
(He hoped it would save more Koreans.)
In a way, it's like a small hospital now.
- Ambulance is. - Yes.
Thank you.
I really do.
(Thank you so much.)
Professor Lee Guk Jong gave us the hint.
He said since clinical training, he learned...
everything from you. Medicine and everything else.
He's just trying to butter me up.
(He's just trying to butter me up.)
- "Butter me up". - I didn't hear it wrong, did I?
- Did he say "butter me up"? - "Butter me up".
It's the expression we rarely use.
- Of course. - Of course.
Of course. Of course.
By the way,
I truly admire my friend Lee Guk Jong.
He's an heroic person. He marked a new era...
in the field of emergency medicine in Korea.
Right?
(Guk Jong marked a new era in the field of emergency medicine.)
- He's a hero. - So he's the fellow I admire.
(He admires Guk Jong.)
(It's a beautiful friendship of the two lifesavers of Korea.)
I haven't...
felt like this in a long time.
Hearing his story, I feel emotional.
I got that feeling several times now.
[Kocowa Ver] E74 Master in the House / All the Butlers "Master with Blue Eyes" -= Ruo Xi =-
As we say in Jeolla Province, it's not a big deal.
It's just the story of my life.
(It's just the story of my life.)
We talked for a brief time only,
- and he's the 1st in 5 things. - 5 things.
- Goodness. - As of now.
It's not easy to be the first in anything.
Are we the first in anything?
1st? You are the 1st.
You are the first celebrity who studied physics...
at Seoul National University.
(He's the 1st celebrity who studied physics at SNU.)
- Right. - Right.
- Nobody else studied physics. - Nobody else studied physics.
- You... - Seong Jae.
You are the first celebrity who was the school president...
in both middle and high school.
I didn't do it all throughout middle and high school.
I was the school president once in middle school...
and once in high school.
Let's clap our hands for him.
A lot of people had been class president, but not school president.
(He's proud.)
It's different.
I said it because I thought you'd be embarrassed to say it.
Thank you, Seong Jae.
- How about Seong Jae? - What could it be?
- Seong Jae... - Celebrity without a profession?
(He's the 1st celebrity without a profession.)
Celebrity is your profession.
- The first. - It's very hard to...
- It's very hard to be the first. - It's very hard.
But you have to think about this.
Right.
You have to think about the best qualities of Koreans.
(Best qualities of Koreans?)
(His confusing words were written in the invitation too.)
I will give you homework.
- In the letter... - The four of you.
- The homework was... - Right.
- written in the letter. - Right. Right.
Don't forget about the homework.
- "Best qualities of Koreans". - What are the best qualities?
You have to tell me the answer later.
- Okay. - Think about it.
Okay.
We will then call you by the nickname...
people in town call you.
- Okay. - Master Johnny.
All right. Just treat me like an equal.
We can't do that.
We have to butter you up today.
(They have to butter him up.)
You will not be eating for free.
- Right. Right. - Nothing comes for free.
(He's just joking.)
What are we going to eat today, Master Johnny?
I will take you to...
(He will treat them to Suncheon's best Korean Table d'hote.)
Suncheon's best restaurant.
I love it. We've been talking about it.
Suncheon is famous for Korean Table d'hote.
(His mouth waters.)
Do you eat Korean food well?
Hey, he's lived...
- What's your favorite? - abroad for only eight years.
(He's lived abroad for only 8 years.)
- We can't get confused. - Sang Yun.
What's your favorite?
I especially like cabbage kimchi that's been aged for over a year.
It must have some fish sauce, you see?
"You see?"
It has to be flavorsome.
- Bossam. - Bossam.
- I see. - And ripened kimchi.
There's nothing more to say then.
When my house in Seoul runs out of Suncheon ripened kimchi,
things get a little complicated.
That's a shocking expression.
It's a very Korean expression.
"Things get a little complicated".
(But this has all been just a preview.)
(He is going to fearlessly tear Suncheon's kimchi with his hands.)
(His Korean palate will make us drool.)
(They can't get used to...)
(the Korean master with blue eyes.)
(Since you ate,)
(you have to split wood.)
(He will constantly pour out...)
(Korean words in 8 beats.)
(It will be madly fun.)
(It's coming soon.)
(Mr. Suncheon Country Bumpkin, Johnny is Korean to the bone.)
This is a bike road.
- Right. - This used to be unpaved road.
I used to climb over walls here.
I used to hang out with my friends here as a kid.
(The young Johnny's memories are everywhere in Maegok-dong.)
This is a lovely town.
Look at that old sign for a barbershop.
(The barbershop sign)
Right.
- It's an old style. - An old style.
(Johnny knows Suncheon...)
These all used to be thatched houses.
(like it's his front yard.)
This was my playground when I was young.
This entire lot.
(Johnny was the kid with blue eyes...)
(who used to go around Maegok-dong.)
And on New Year's Day...
New Year's Day was a collection day.
(What?)
When I, the American kid, went and bowed to people,
people gave me a lot of money.
That's very important.
- New Year's Day is important. - It was important.
- Incredible. - I was rather sneaky.
That's why he said that it felt like...
10 New Year's Day have come all at once.
Right. It all came from his experience.
That's why I compared it to 10 New Year's Day.
(Do you understand the deep meaning of it now?)
- I went to every house. - You bowed to everyone.
- Of course. - Of course.
- This is... - This is his town.
This is his area.
Master Johnny, did you witness...
the development of this road?
Of course I did.
I always rode a bike here.
- When you were young. - When I was young.
(The small street of Suncheon became the historical path of Suncheon.)
I did many things here.
- There's somewhere even more fun. - It's like a museum.
(You must see it.)
(Something more fun?)
There's something really amazing. Come here.
I'm sure nobody has been down here.
(Mr. Suncheon Country Bumpkin, Johnny's Suncheon tour)
This is how Suncheon looked in 1920.
"Presbyterian mission in Suncheon".
(Suncheon in 1920s, before Johnny was born)
This is the building...
we were at. Number one.
- Is it here? - It looks the same.
- It still looks the same. - It looks the same.
This is the house where I grew up.
There was another house that looked like this.
(Master Johnny's house became part of Suncheon history.)
Maesan Girls' High School used to be where my house was.
(Johnny's old house is now Maesan Girls' High School.)
It's preserved even until now.
Is that where you used to live?
Yes. Chinese stonemasons built it.
(There is a second story brick building in the school yard.)
It was built in 1910.
The building used for music classes used to be my house.
- Music room? - Music room.
- It's a music room now. - It's a music room now.
(The music room is the brick house Johnny used to live in.)
(The tour guide explains things well.)
It's fun.
(Se Hyeong's camera)
It's really fun.
He...
Isn't it funny when you think of him as a tour guide?
(It seems like it should be the other way around.)
Where is this?
When I was young, this was the paradise.
10 to 20 kids came here.
In summer, we played in the shade.
We picked and ate persimmons and cherries.
Every season, we knew which house had what.
(It was the eco-friendly theme park behind Johnny's brick house.)
Your childhood was...
- It was just like our parents'. - He's our parents' generation.
He spent it just like our parents'.
We played with tops. And there was something called hopscotch.
- We've played it. - You've played it?
- Can you still play it? - Of course.
(Of course.)
This path is so lovely.
- This is the Garden of Eden. - The Garden of Eden.
(Johnny used to come to the Garden of Eden all the time.)
It's a perfect spot to play.
Of course it is.
(Isn't my playground nice?)
- All right. - Yes?
What is that?
(The black plastic bag has been catching their attention.)
(He had it in the clinic,)
(when they were walking,)
(and even when he was boasting about Suncheon.)
(He's been tightly holding onto the black plastic bag.)
What is that?
(What's inside?)
It's Japanese ghost crab bread.
- Japanese ghost crab bread. - Japanese ghost crab bread.
- I heard it wrong. - Japanese ghost crab bread.
It's the specialty of Suncheon.
- It's in the shape of crab. - It's like a custard-filled cake.
Yes. It's like that.
Do you even know the taste of crab?
(Do you even know the taste of crab?)
(Every Korean needs to know the taste of crab.)
Why don't we...
have a chicken fight?
Why don't we have a chicken fight?
- What? - A chicken fight?
Chicken fight?
(You want to suddenly have a chicken fight here?)
- Just like that? - A chicken fight?
We can have a chicken fight.
Are your joints all right?
My joints are fine.
(I was the captain here, you know?)
My gosh.
We won't go easy on you.
I will actually do my best. Are you confident about it?
I am confident.
How good were you when you were a child?
- Very confident. - How good were you?
- I always won. - You always won.
- Really? - You won every chicken fight?
He seems to be very confident.
Sometimes I played against Seoul kids,
and they were super weak.
"Did you do this? Did you do that?"
(He's impersonating a Seoul child.)
They were so weak.
(Captain Johnny of Suncheon provokes the Seoul kids.)
I will tell you this now.
When it comes to games,
I am the top class.
- I will be the judge of that. - Of course!
You will really struggle.
Let's see how young you are.
- Gosh. - "Battle Royale".
- Okay. - Okay.
We will do a chicken fight to win the Japanese ghost crab bread.
It's an individual fight, right?
- The winner gets to eat, right? - The winner gets to eat.
Spread out. Spread out.
(Suncheon chicken)
(Seoul chicken)
(SNU chicken)
(Dongducheon chicken)
(Yongin chicken)
- Ready. - Ready.
You are not allowed to change hand, right?
- There's no changing of hand. - It's not allowed.
- Okay. - Okay.
Start.
(The chicken fight begins.)
He's scary.
(As soon as the game starts,)
(the Suncheon chicken rushes to the Seoul chicken.)
He's too scary.
- What? - He's too scary.
(His aggressiveness makes him retreat at the speed of light.)
He's a silky fowl.
He's more like a silky fowl.
(There was a chicken watching them.)
(The Dongducheon chicken that has only been watching...)
(quietly approaches the Suncheon chicken from behind.)
(Jumping)
(Bumping)
He's more like a silky fowl.
(Did he just provoke Suncheon silky fowl?)
No!
(What?)
(His leg gives in.)
(The front-runner Suncheon chicken embarrassingly fails.)
(Embarrassed, Suncheon chicken turns red.)
(He's flustered.)
- Big chicken has weak stamina. - I became too big.
He became too big.
(He confidently suggested them to play the game.)
Where are you going? Where are you going?
(Why did I suggest the chicken fight?)
(For the protection of Johnny's pride, the chicken fight ends.)
Why don't we play the game we used to play?
It's a very simple game.
We used to play it as a child.
It's the slipper throwing game.
I've never played it before.
(He's not confident.)
- Throwing slipper. - I am really good at it.
I played that a lot too. We had nothing else to do.
- I will try learning something new. - You know what it is, right?
I will show you how it goes.
If you are good at it, show us.
- But my shoes are... - I will tell you this.
Celebrities played...
this game on TV, you know.
Watching them, I couldn't stop laughing.
I thought, "How can they be so bad at it?"
I will tell you this. Watching them, I thought,
"They must have never done this before."
How good... How good can he be?
It's my first time playing this on TV.
(Why is he so confident?)
I think he'd be really good.
(He's very confident.)
(Breathing)
Why did you pluck so much grass?
You plucked so much grass.
- The wind is... - Aren't you supposed to pick one...
to test the wind?
Be quiet.
(Be quiet. I am feeling the wind.)
He put his hands in the pocket.
- Here we go. - All right.
Since this is the 1st round, I will use 80 percent of my energy.
80 percent.
Watch out, cameraman there.
I warned you.
(It sounds like it will fly all the way to the US.)
All right. Unofficially, he's the best slipper thrower...
from Dongducheon.
(Dongducheon Slipper)
He's too serious.
Here we go.
I am very good at throwing slipper far.
(I will make it fly from Suncheon to Pluto.)
(No way.)
(Laughing)
It hit the bar.
(We thought it actually flew to Pluto.)
It hit the bar.
(We thought it actually flew to Pluto.)
It hit the bar.
(He's sad.)
(Laughing)
It hit the bar.
You can't take it back.
Leave it. You are done. What are you talking about?
- You are done here. - Look at him.
(That was so funny.)
Okay. Okay.
But my slipper hit the bamboo stick.
Se Hyeong's face was...
He actually got upset.
He's really terrible at it.
(We are surprised at how bad he is.)
(Why is he limping?)
- Is your leg okay? - Is he hurt?
Please blow on my leg.
- Goodness. - My gosh.
Did it fly about 27cm?
(Okay. This is easy enough.)
- I saw it. - You saw it.
By the way, it's your first time to play this game, isn't it?
I've never done it. It's my first time.
He already got his shoe ready.
He got his shoe ready.
(He looks like someone who's played here a lot.)
Since I lost the chicken fight,
- You will... - I have to make it up with this.
(I will make it up with this one.)
(Open your eyes and watch me, you Seoul kids.)
(That was incredible.)
(Johnny is good, isn't he?)
(This is the class of Suncheon.)
- My goodness. - What's this?
This is so embarrassing.
(He feels humiliated.)
Is everyone from Dongducheon that bad?
Did you really win?
Do you want me to show you? Just for the sake of showing you?
- Give him another chance. - That's...
That's done.
You don't have to show us.
- I want to show you. - You can...
You can take a video of yourself and send it to us.
- Please. - No, it's okay.
- Just one chance. - No. No.
We don't want to see it.
Give him another chance.
Who are you to say it?
It's...
Do the Elephant Spin first.
(Sang Yun, Class President)
All right. Do the Elephant Spin.
- Then you can throw the slipper. - Okay.
- You are fine with it, right? - Yes.
What if the person who comes in last gets a finger flick from the master?
Right. Master can...
- Okay. - Okay.
The one who comes in last will get a finger flick from him.
- Okay. - Are you okay with that?
His fingers are...
double the size of normal people's fingers.
He's got the hands of a judo athlete.
Right.
(I will flick your head lightly.)
My shoe is...
- My shoe is bad, isn't it? - Your shoe?
My shoe is too thick.
My shoe is too heavy.
Honestly, my shoe is too different.
Do you want to switch the shoes?
(He does him a favor.)
Give it to me.
It's not the shoe that's the problem.
- This is... - The inside is very slippery.
With this much weight,
I could make it fly over that roof.
(He's going to hit a home run with the shoe.)
How many spins? 10 spins?
- 10 spins at least. - 10 spins at least.
- Okay. - Okay.
(He's ready for the finger flick.)
You have to make it clear that we've switched shoes.
Okay? You have to write it...
in the athlete description that I have Seong Jae's shoe.
(Note: Seong Jae got Seung Gi's shoe.)
It weighs at least 500g.
The shoe will make it really difficult.
Here we go.
Ready...
and go.
- 1. - 1.
- 2. - 2.
- 3, 4. - Once he leaves the line, he fails.
- 5. - 5.
- 6. - 6.
- 7. - 7.
- 8. - 8.
- 9. - 9.
- 10. - 10.
(He steps on the brake...)
(and clenches his teeth.)
(And he shoots the shoe.)
(Their eyes form an arc.)
He did a good job.
(That was a neat job.)
Considering that he just did the Elephant Spin, he did well.
(He approves it.)
Well done. That was good.
(Good job. Now, who's next?)
- You were good. I'll go next. - Do you want to go next?
- You'll go after me. - Hey.
Aren't you guys too focused on the game?
Are you okay?
You should be concerned about me.
- Are you okay? - I almost hurt my bottom.
- I see. Are you okay? - Yes, I am.
He's okay.
- What are you doing? - He's okay.
- Are you taking a photo? - Are you okay?
("Lee Seung Gi Has Good Sense of Balance")
Okay.
Good job.
The shoe isn't the issue.
Sang Yun is good at this.
(He's analyzing the shoe's weight, arc, and distance.)
(Mumbling)
It's been about...
27 years since I've done this.
It was back in 1991 or 1992.
It was before I was born.
Right. It was at a playground in front of my apartment.
Once, my shoe even went over the playground area.
How big was the playground?
It's a slightly shorter distance than here to that tree.
- Come on. - Until that sunny area.
If I don't spin, I can reach that building.
(But taking the Elephant Spin into consideration,)
But since I'm spinning, I'll reach that big tree.
(I'll throw it until that tree.)
Your confidence is endearing.
Try it.
- Okay. - All right.
Get ready, set, go.
- One. - Spin faster.
- 2, 3, - 2, 3,
- 4, 5, 6, - I don't think it'll work.
- He's panting. - seven...
(Sang Yun is spinning...)
- Let's protect Master Linton. - Eight...
(while the others protect their master.)
- 9, - 9,
- 10. - 10.
(Bravo, Sang Yun.)
- 9, 10. - 9, 10.
(His shoe comes off early.)
(It's the attack of the Sang Yun from SNU.)
(His memories from 27 years back...)
(fail him.)
Are you okay?
(Sang Yun's shoe is for sale. It's in good shape.)
His cry was hilarious.
Goodness.
- Are you okay? - I'm not sure.
We all know that he's weak at this game.
- Right. - Right?
- He feels too dizzy. - Hey.
I thought he'd kick that way.
I thought he'd kick it far.
The dizziness hit me straight on.
I thought I was ready.
- You jumped higher than the shoe. - It was hilarious.
("Lee Sang Yun Still Jumped Higher Than His Shoe")
- He jumped higher. - It was hilarious.
I'll be serious about this.
I'll concentrate.
- My fans are watching, - It's best that he doesn't talk.
- so I'll impress them. - Okay.
Since it only went this far last time, please do better.
Come on, they filmed me kicking it far.
What do you mean?
They filmed it. Right?
(You aired it, right?)
- What are you talking about? - Is it a yes or a no?
(Did it get aired?)
(He pretends not to know.)
Did it?
Tell me this instant.
If not, I'm going to go home.
He'll be bothered by this all day.
(Here's the shot.)
Goodness.
(During practice, he kicked his shoe toward the staff.)
It got stuck.
Master Linton is giving me another chance.
- Really? - Yes.
(He's adorable.)
(He hit a home run.)
Great job.
That was only 80 percent of my strength.
I know.
(He controlled his strength.)
- Will it get aired? - His pride is hurt.
Goodness.
- I'll begin. - Let's go, Dongducheon Slipper.
Get ready.
Set, go.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, - He's doing well.
- Oh, no. - 5, 6,
- You need to kick right away. - 7, 8, 9...
(He's slowly going off-track.)
- 10. - Kick it immediately.
Protect your pride and kick!
(The pride of Dongducheon Slipper is at stake.)
(Will he be able to live up to his expectations?)
Protect your pride and kick!
Goodness.
(His shoe flies far away.)
Goodness.
Okay.
(I didn't trip. This is my final pose.)
- You've protected your pride. - Okay.
You've protected your pride.
(Sang Yun, Seung Gi, Se Hyeong)
- Okay, but the trajectory was low. - "Trajectory"?
I wanted to kick it to my house.
(Jealous)
- You're good. - Of course.
- I'm good. - Lastly, Seong Jae.
It's either I throw it that far,
or someone goes down.
(It's either I throw it that far or someone goes down.)
(He spins well. How will he do?)
- You're fast. - Nine. Go! Kick it!
Kick it!
My gosh.
- Nice. - Nice!
- Good job.
You're in second place. Good work.
(Seong Jae is in 2nd place.)
All right, then. Today's loser is...
Lee Sang Yun!
Sang Yun, your performance was the highlight.
(He may have lost, but he's the MVP.)
- Become smarter. - Yes, sir.
(They reminisced the good old days through this game.)
I love you.
Now that we're done, where do we go next?
We should eat.
- Look at this place. - This place is famous.
- Really? - Yes.
- Have you been here? - Yes, I have.
Come on in.
- Something smells good. - Go in.
Something smells very scrumptious.
I know how they'll serve our meal.
- It'll be a table full of food. - They'll place a huge table.
Will they be bringing in a table?
- Wow. - They'll bring in a table.
- Since when did you come here? - Since 30 years ago.
- Really? - Yes.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hey, sister.
- Did you hear that? - "Sister"?
Does he come here often?
He comes every time he visits Suncheon.
He comes every time.
Do you not need our order?
- She knows what to bring. - She does?
I guess she knows his menu.
- Right. - I see.
(This is his menu.)
- I see. - Hold that.
(They can't believe it.)
What? I'm so surprised.
(It's jaw-dropping.)
The table is bent.
(It really is bent.)
Thank you. Here.
Goodness, what is all this?
- It's amazing. - It is.
I can't believe this.
I didn't expect this at all.
Seriously.
There are all sorts of delicacies.
- All right. - It's jaw-dropping.
So this is what a feast looks like.
Eat up.
There's pomfret, webfoot octopus, and mackerel.
- Abalones. - Is that a ray?
- It's a Japanese ghost crab. - A Japanese ghost crab.
Are these all from Jeolla Province?
- That's right. - I see.
Gat kimchi, ripened kimchi, cucumber kimchi,
watery kimchi, and chili pepper kimchi?
There are five different types of kimchi.
There are four types of salted seafood.
Four? I see.
These look so delicious.
(There are still many more dishes.)
- They're using a briquette. - It's pork bulgogi.
Should we try them?
- Sure. - All right.
I don't know where to start.
(Suncheon table d'hote is overflowing.)
I didn't expect this much.
Me neither.
I pity the foreigners who die before tasting a piece of pork...
alongside salted shrimp.
(This is the definition of a truly tasty Korean meal.)
- Are you talking about bossam? - That's right.
(Death is meaningless in front of a tasty meal.)
There's one inconvenience I have to suffer...
when I receive invitations since I look like a foreigner.
Usually, they bring me to Italian...
or French restaurants. When that happens, I call them...
and ask to have anything but Western cuisine.
(I'll have anything but Western cuisine.)
I see.
I know that there are some tasty Western dishes.
But this is the problem.
Some foreigners tell me...
that they don't like Korean cuisine.
When they do, I tell them that they're wrong.
They just haven't found a Korean dish...
that they enjoy yet.
(They haven't found an enjoyable dish yet.)
There's a variety of Korean dishes.
(He doesn't condone the expression that Korean cuisine isn't tasty.)
- I don't know what to eat first. - Right.
- Eat slowly and savor it. - Sorry, I'm starving.
(I'll serve you some kimchi.)
- Is that ripened kimchi? - No, ripened kimchi is over here.
- This is also ripened kimchi. - Okay.
(This is how Master In cuts kimchi.)
This tastes better when they're long.
He ripped it with his hands.
- It's all about using your hands. - Just stay put.
"Just stay put."
Don't you worry.
I don't.
Stay put. Just pass me something to wipe.
(After ripping them,)
(he places them over their rice.)
Thank you.
I will try it in a wrap.
(A taste of Master's self-cut ripened Kimchi.)
Did you learn how to cut ripened kimchi with your hands?
It tastes better when cut vertically.
(Thanks to the master,)
(everyone can't stop eating.)
- Try it. - Chili pepper kimchi and...
(A delicacy to boost your appetite.)
- It looks like cucumber kimchi. - Can you cut it with scissors?
I have never seen this before.
- Chili pepper kimchi. - This looks amazing.
It is chili pepper kimchi indeed.
(Chili Pepper Kimchi, Kimchi with stuffings in chilis.)
- Is it inside? - Yes, the stuffing is inside.
- It's inside! - I see.
Just like cucumber kimchi.
Should have salted shrimp in it.
Right, it has salted seafood in it.
(Salted shrimp to boost the flavor.)
(Fresh chili pepper boosts the texture.)
I think I am about to cry.
It's been a while since I had such good food.
(Always extremely thrilled to see Korean food.)
What is this, Master?
Isn't this sweet potato stems?
(Isn't this sweet potato stems?)
Butterbur.
It's butterbur.
- Butterbur? - It's butterbur.
At the end of the table. It's butterbur.
- What is butterbur? - What is butterbur?
- Butterbur is butterbur. - Butterbur?
- It's the stem of butterbur. - Stems of butterbur.
I don't know. I know as butterbur.
(I know as butterbur.)
- This is cuttlefish. - Cuttlefish?
It's a mix of cuttlefish with water dropworts.
- Water dropworts? - Yes, water dropworts are good.
- What do you call this in English? - Water dropworts.
Goodness.
That's a very difficult question.
(He doesn't know.)
I don't know.
- Mi-na-ri? - Mi-na-ri?
- Mi-nae-ri?
- Mi-na-ri?
(I don't know it in English, but I know it's good.)
Mi-nae-ri.
If you are done, pass it over.
(If you are done, pass it over.)
- This helps to cleanse the palate. - Yes.
(One more bite of Mi-nae-ri!)
It's very refreshing.
Really refreshing.
(He's happy.)
I am really happy.
Now, it's time for the wrap.
(Twice the fun, time for the wrap.)
(To make a satisfying wrap,)
You all need some training.
Like how to eat.
(you need a little bit of training.)
There must be a specific way to eat.
Of course.
- Of course. - Of course.
- Johnny's wrap! - Now,
- Pick a pumpkin leaf. - Yes.
- Pumpkin leaf. - Pick a pumpkin leaf.
- Is everyone ready? - Yes.
(Is everybody ready for training?)
Then...
(Pumpkin leaf and Mackerel)
- Add a piece of mackerel. - Mackerel?
- Yes, mackerel.
Where is mackerel?
- Here it is. - Put it here.
- Add salted hairtail. - Leave it there.
Add that too.
(Looking around)
Where is that?
That?
Here it is.
(He finds it!)
- Siler divaricata! - Yes.
Okay. That was close.
(Pumpkin leaf, mackerel, hairtail, and Siler divaricata)
- I need to search for it. - Yes, we do.
- All right. - All right.
Do we eat it without rice?
- Yes. - First, without rice.
(After collecting all side dishes, they take a bite.)
(Pumpkin leaf, mackerel, hairtail, and Siler divaricata)
- This is good. - Without rice,
I did not expect to put mackerel and others, but it's good.
Pumpkin leaf is really good.
We are learning how to do this from our Master.
I can taste the juice inside my mouth.
(The definition of a wrap with pumpkin leaf.)
(Complete!)
How do we eat the second wrap?
(Thanks to the students' passionate attitude,)
Pick a radish leaf.
- Radish leaf? - Radish leaf?
- That's right.
Is this it?
- Is this it? - I am not sure.
I know what everything is, but I don't know this one.
- Pick a piece of pork bulgogi. - A piece of pork bulgogi.
(Radish leaf and Pork bulgogi)
This looks really good.
Next, webfoot octopus.
- Webfoot octopus! - Webfoot octopus too? Goodness.
Seasoned hooker chives.
- What? - Seasoned hooker chives?
It's made from ginseng.
- It's made from ginseng. - Is this it?
- Am I right? - Yes.
- Are these seasoned hooker chives? - Yes.
I see. Those are seasoned hooker chives.
It's a type of "samhap."
(A combination of meat, seafood, and vegetables.)
It's samhap.
- Seasoned hooker chives, pork... - And webfoot octopus.
And webfoot octopus.
Pork and webfoot octopus.
This...
If we open this restaurant in Seoul,
it will be a huge hit.
(Chewing)
(Amazing taste)
I can taste the meat...
very clearly.
Then when the webfoot octopus is about to show off,
the Hooker chives just cover it up.
With its scent.
It covered with its scent.
Should you be learning from a foreigner?
(Should you be learning from a foreigner?)
You are right.
I think I know. I can feel it.
I will try to make one.
Grab lettuce. Here it is.
(What is the apprentice Seung Gi's formula?)
Add a slice of meat.
(Lettuce and pork bulgogi)
- Add the meat? - Yes.
- Adding meat is cheating. - Right.
Add meat again.
- Again? - Two slices of meat.
(Unsure)
That's a lot of meat.
Then add Siler divaricata.
Siler divaricata? Add Siler divaricata to salty dish?
(On top of salty pork bulgogi, he adds seasoned greens.)
Then...
Finally...
(Finally...)
- Add scallop. - Gosh...
(Sigh)
You and I can never align.
Scallop.
Then a little bit of rice.
(Lettuce, pork bulgogi, Siler divaricata, scallop, and rice)
I add the rice.
Now, let's eat.
- No ssamjang? - No ssamjang.
(Even though they can't trust him, they still eat it anyway.)
It can't be bad.
(He approves.)
(Good, right?)
(Right?)
(Although his pride hurts a little,)
(it is good.)
- Good? - Yes.
I hate to say it, but it's good.
(I can't help but compliment him.)
Meat is always right.
- Good, right? - It's so good!
- I told you. - So good!
(A wrap for me.)
(A wrap for you.)
I am really happy.
This is good.
(I am so touched!)
Thank you for the meal, Master. We really enjoyed it.
It was too good.
- It was too good. - It was too good.
It was too much of that.
(It was too much of that.)
- Right? - It was too much of that.
- It was too much of that.
(The mood is suddenly all about that.)
A long time ago, a senior actor...
helped me to define that, this, and those in dialect.
"That" is something that both you and I know.
"This" is when I know, but you don't know.
That's when I say "this!"
But "those" is when you and I both don't know.
("Those" is used when both of them don't know.)
- That sounds about right. - That is good.
That was good.
It's a little bit of "that."
"That" is something we know when even ghosts don't know.
("That" is something we know when even ghosts don't know.)
Master, where's "that" place we are going next?
It's a place that I always take my friends...
when they are in Suncheon.
("That" place in Suncheon where he takes his friends.)
Where is it?
(Trust me!)
(They arrived at a traditional village, led by the master.)
Do people still live here?
What are you talking about? People actually live here.
- Here? - Yes, of course.
- Everywhere? - Almost half.
- Really? - Except some stores.
All houses inside are all occupied.
- All houses inside? - Yes.
Like those inner houses?
This is a real live folk village.
(A folk village that combines both the old and today.)
- I see. - It is very beautiful.
It's amazing.
(The place the Master stays whenever he is in Suncheon.)
My dad used to say before he passed away,
if American pioneers knew about ondol,
not many of them would have died.
(It's a must-go place recommended by Johnny.)
Ondol is very scientific.
(A warm ondol room is...)
(a reflection of Korean's wisdom.)
- I haven't smelled this in a while. - Yes, look here.
The adults would sit inside.
The young ones would stand until the older person says, "Sit well."
(John A. Linton's class on ondol etiquettes.)
- You need to wait. - I see.
- Sit down well. - Can we sit down?
- Sit down well. - Okay.
(A mysterious man...)
(visits the friendly, warm ondol.)
Hey! Come out!
(It seems like...)
(someone just came?)
- Come out. Hurry up. - Fine, fine.
(Who is this crazy guest...)
This is driving me crazy.
(that will stir Master in the House?)
The qualifications of a doctor...
(A tough guest of Johnny has arrived.)
(They are flustered.)
(Goodness, you...)
(Johnny's foul language means he loves his friend.)
(I love you.)
Who will go next?
(Time to joke and have fun!)
(The members are addicted...)
(to the Master and the guest's loving words.)
(A day with the Master with the craziest charm!)
(And...)
When I heard he's coming out...
(What they imagined has become true!)
(Meeting a world-class Master of our dreams!)
(The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.)
(By Einstein)
(A magician of imagination! The most beloved writer in Korea!)
(He's really here!)
(Excuse me, Master...)
