The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- It's good to see you again. - Hello.
How have you all been?
- I've been doing well. - Good.
Your outfit today...
- It looks nice, right? - Yes.
It's something you would wear only at the end of a year.
- That's right. I dressed up... - Yoon Hee also looks great.
- Thanks. I spruced myself up. - Right.
Today, we said hello to the viewers while standing up unusually.
I'm sorry, but are you dressed up as a pineapple?
No. Guess what it is.
- Shouldn't you get changed? - No, no.
- To be exact, I'm wearing... - I get it.
- Tell me. - I think I know.
- Isn't it a test card? - No, it's not.
I'm wearing an outfit from the spring, summer collection...
- The spring, summer collection? - of 2019.
- Oh, right. There is... - Yes?
a fashion model who wore this jacket.
- That's right. - We have a photo.
- Oh, that? That jacket... - Yes.
- Is it really the same jacket? - Yes.
You're lying!
Unlike how it looks on him, it goes down almost to my knees.
Excuse me. You should apologize to this jacket.
I apologize.
I will try to make it look better on me.
Today, our opening was very special including our outfits,
- and there's a reason, right? - Yes.
We invited fashion models...
who've been working busily in different fields.
Today's special is "The Model Entertainers".
- Please come out. - Come on.
My goodness.
She looks great.
- Oh, my. - She's great.
Awesome!
(Girl crush-worthy)
She looked different once the music started.
She's amazing.
- Walk forward. - Yoon Ju.
(She turns the studio into a runway.)
- She does look amazing. - Yes, indeed.
That's a real runway walk.
Whatever Yoon Ju does makes me laugh,
but I can't laugh at this.
- She posed like Jang Do Yeon. - Awesome.
She looks amazing.
(Jang Yoon Ju)
Please come here.
(It's been a long time.)
Gosh, that's too much.
(Slim and tall)
(The extraordinary runway walk)
They're definitely amazing. They don't take steps as we do.
- She just had a baby. - Exactly.
- I also heard... - She hasn't fully recovered yet.
- We can't tell. - That can't be.
I can't tell at all.
(Lee Hyun Yi)
(She changes the atmosphere and makes a cheerful entrance.)
- She appears on many TV shows. - I know.
- How many shows does she do? - About three shows.
(Song Hae Na)
Hae Na.
(She poses like a crane.)
She doesn't speak Korean well.
- Is that so? - Really?
But that makes her more charming.
(The global fashion icon)
Irene.
- Look at her eyes. - She's charismatic.
She's a social media star.
- Is she? - Yes.
She has about 1.5 million followers.
(The youngest guest is here!)
Kim Jin Kyung.
- She's very young. - I'm star struck.
(She made her debut at the age of 16.)
(Now she's a veteran model with 7 years of experience.)
(Kim Jin Kyung)
I thought she was Jin Kyung.
(He pretends he almost tripped.)
Did he do that on purpose?
- Did he do that on purpose? - He did it on purpose.
I see.
That's too old-fashioned.
(He's so hip!)
- It's an old-fashioned concept. - Jung Hyuk.
(He poses freely as he feels like.)
He looks so natural and free.
He looks free.
He looks so free.
(Jung Hyuk)
He looks so free.
- He looks free. - Oh, my.
By the way, everything was nice. But Yoon Ju,
why did you explain everything in my ear?
- I'm sorry. - I'm not a fashion designer.
"Jae Seok."
(Hyun Yi just had her 2nd child.)
(Irene isn't fluent in Korean, but it makes her more charming.)
(Hyuk has a lot of talents.)
Why did you tell me all that?
I'm sorry. I just really wanted to tell you about them.
- I know. - You acted like the agency owner.
I know. I came here with that mindset.
- Exactly. - All right.
These are our guests today.
She's like an ancestor of models and a valuable asset of variety shows.
The veteran model with 22 years of experience, Jang Yoon Ju!
(Jang Yoon Ju)
You looked fabulous earlier.
- Did I? - Yes.
Since she appeared on many variety shows, she knows what to do.
It's been a very long time...
- since I last came on this show. - It's been a long time.
- That's right. - I heard it's been five years.
- I bet it's been that long. - But she hasn't aged at all.
- Really? Thank you. - Yes.
- You look great today. - Thank you.
You don't sound sincere.
I mean it. You look like a night club owner.
Why would you say that?
- But it was a compliment. - I know.
- You've been on variety shows. - She disciplined us yesterday.
- Why? - No, I didn't discipline you guys.
She gathered us all together.
- Do you still do that? - No. I didn't...
- It's what people did in the past. - Listen.
I just wanted us to be cheerful and energetic on the show.
I heard that there's an old fossil in the modeling industry.
- You're a bossy model. - Are you bossy?
She gathered us all together yesterday and said,
"I won't say anything."
She said she would be our punching bag.
- Really? - She told us to attack her.
- Then why are you being so chatty? - Today,
I want to be a punching bag for my junior models here.
- Are you all under the same agency? - Yes.
That's why I asked them all to gather.
- I see. - Exactly.
"Gather around at 4:30pm tomorrow."
- Gosh. I didn't say that. - I see.
- I was the last one to arrive. - I politely asked them to come.
It sounds like they adjusted their schedules to yours. Right?
That's right. I'm sorry.
(I'm to blame.)
- We cheered ourselves up. - That's right.
And you also talked about stories you'll tell us today, right?
Hyuk, did anything interesting happen yesterday?
Yes. Since Yoon Ju is my senior by many years...
Don't be like that.
I'll still tell them.
- I arrived at 3:30pm. - Really?
- I arrived at 3:30pm. - Or else, she would've scolded you.
Yes. I arrived an hour early and got ready.
And she was the last one to arrive.
- Hey! - Yoon Ju was late.
Gosh, seriously.
- You're bossy. - It's different now.
Models these days are different.
- That's not true. - They don't hold back.
Hyun Yi, how about you?
I went there carrying my baby.
- I carried my baby on my back. - That's unbelievable.
There was no one to look after my baby.
- You carried your son on your back. - On my back.
I carried him on my back during the meeting.
Good. Keep going. I'm your punching bag today.
I will be your punching bag today.
- Keep punching me. - Jin Kyung, what about you?
Yoon Ju promised she would never hold a grudge after this.
- Did I? - That's right. She did.
Your face already turned red. Are you all right?
- I'm feeling so hot. - Right?
You volunteered to be their punching bag, but you're feeling hot, right?
- I'm feeling hot. - Of course.
- I shouldn't have come here. - Hang in there for a while.
I heard that we won't be able to see Yoon Ju for a while.
Why?
- So we should see her a lot. - That's not exactly true.
For a month in July,
- I will stay in Paris, France. - Why?
- Why? - What will you do there?
- Will you be on a fashion show? - I have work to do,
and my husband has started his business there.
He went there alone last year.
- But my entire family will... - All together?
go together.
- Your husband is a designer. - That's right.
- Did he collaborate with a brand? - Yes.
He collaborated with a brand in Paris to make a product,
and it was a success, so they're working together again this year.
(He collaborates with a French brand.)
I heard that you're planning to meet the former first lady of France...
- when you go there. - You mean, Carla Bruni?
Last year, Carla Bruni...
held her first concert in Korea.
She used to be a model, and she's a singer-songwriter like myself.
Right. She's a singer.
She released as many as three albums.
Since she and I followed similar career paths,
we met up and sang together.
We also had a photoshoot together.
Since we met then, when I went to Paris last year,
I was invited to Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni's house.
- To the former president's house? - Yes.
My goodness.
- Did you... - Yoon Ju,
what have you been doing until now?
You should be nice to me.
(You should be nice to me.)
- "You should be nice to me." - Why would we want to meet him?
What are you talking about?
Anyway, I have a good friend now.
And Carla and I have so much in common.
How do you communicate with her?
We talk in English.
She's good at speaking English.
- Is that right? - Her English is very good.
- So... - What did their house look like?
Their house was...
so gorgeous.
Did you say it was shabby?
Just speak Korean.
The house looked vintage,
but it didn't look like they made it look vintage.
- It's actually an old house. - It became like that over time.
- It has an atmospheric vibe. - That's right.
It's amazing she visited the house of the former president of France.
Not everyone can visit his house.
- That's right. - Thank you.
I visited your social media account.
Your daughter grew up so much.
That's right. She grew up so much.
And she's taller than other children at her age.
- She has long arms and legs. - I heard that too.
- She has long arms and legs. - Yes, she does.
Oh, my. She's pretty.
- She's cute. - She has such long legs.
I think she looks like Yoon Ju.
- Right. - But if you look at her closely,
- she looks a lot like her dad too. - She looks like her dad.
- Her dad is also tall. - He's tall too.
She has such long arms.
- She has long legs too. - What would you do...
if your daughter wants to become a fashion model?
- Would you let her? - I would see if she could outdo me.
- Of course, she could. - It's a test.
If I don't think she could outdo me...
So your daughter will have to pass the family audition first.
That's right. It breaks my heart.
If she's not as talented as you,
you wouldn't be happy about her becoming a model?
Would you still not be against it?
If she really wants to be a model and seems to...
have enough talent for the job, I would definitely...
support her dream.
She looks as great as she was even after giving birth.
She remains as a top model.
A mother of 2 sons and a model with 14-year experience, Lee Hyun Yi!
Hello.
I didn't ask you to stand up.
- I wanted to show the viewers. - That's good.
- I just had a baby. - Please sit down.
It's been only two months...
since she had her second baby.
- Really? - I mean,
- it's hard to believe. - Has it been only two months?
It's been 70 days.
- Then... - But you haven't changed at all.
- You haven't changed at all. - Since fashion models...
Yoon Ju and Song Kyung A also have experienced pregnancy.
Since we're tall, it doesn't show much.
I gained 18kg.
That's not true.
I looked so much bigger.
Then did you lose weight by working out?
I couldn't work out since it's been only two months.
It just happened naturally.
- You didn't make any effort? - No.
- You didn't even control your diet? - That's why I always tell her...
that she's a type that makes others hate her.
To your senior model?
In fact, some of the viewers...
might be upset now.
- Honestly, Hae Na and I... - We have to make a lot of effort.
work out hard.
- It's not easy. - She doesn't gain weight easily.
And she eats a lot.
- That's right. She eats a lot. - Is that true?
- She eats a lot. - I like eating.
Then why don't you gain weight?
However, since I'm in my late 30s,
I gain weight more easily now.
But I didn't gain weight in my 20s.
She ate five portions of lamb skewers yesterday.
- Five portions of lamb skewers? - Yes.
- Could it have been you? - No, no.
In fact, I can't eat a lot at once.
- You can't eat a lot at once? - I can't.
- You can't eat a lot at once? - That's ridiculous.
I can't eat any more than a third of a bowl of rice at once.
- Really? - It's true.
- In fact, Sae Ho has a small mouth. - That's right.
- I nibble at my food. - Yes.
When I have an interview or meet people,
I'm often asked...
how I keep my figure or lose weight.
I couldn't answer the question many times,
and I felt apologetic.
But you can't tell a lie though.
- That's right. - I can't lie that I work out...
- like doing sit-ups. - You can't lie to them.
Besides, I don't know the exercises.
If you tell the truth, people would say you're annoying.
So I got this image as an annoying person,
but I couldn't do anything about it.
- It wasn't your intention, - Unintentionally.
but you became an annoying person.
I accepted it.
- "I am an annoying person." - I mean, she ate..
five portions of lamb skewers yesterday.
- That's ridiculous. - She's born with a beautiful body.
She was born like this. It wasn't her choice.
- All right. Let's move on. - Okay.
You say good things come in small packages in this case.
With her talents and skills beyond her physical limits,
she's been mesmerizing people on the runway. Song Hae Na!
Hello. I am Song Hae Na, the next Jang Yoon Ju.
Why did you mention my name?
I know you liked it.
In fact...
- Yoon Ju is 173cm tall, right? - Yes.
I'm only 173cm tall.
I'm very short for a fashion model.
I used to be self-conscious about it.
- But I am shorter. - My goodness.
- Really? - Yes.
I am 168cm.
It's just right.
I am really short. Back then, there was a notion...
where people under 173cm, which is Jang Yoon Ju's height,
- can't succeed as a model. - There was a prejudice.
- Yes, there was. - You overcame it.
- Hae Na, you are incredible. - Seriously.
Hae Na is incredibly charming.
She has many charms and talents.
She improves herself very diligently.
- She has a barista certificate. - My goodness.
She works out diligently.
When she has free time, she continues to improve herself.
She asserts herself actively.
Jung Hyuk, why did you cover your face?
Hae Na can speak, but Yoon Ju spoke for her.
- Hae Na can speak too. - Seriously.
- I thought Hae Na was a mannequin. - You said you're the punching bag.
- I thought Hae Na was a mannequin. - What kind of punching bag is this?
I simply wanted...
to be nice to her.
You wanted to be nice to her.
Let's move on.
She is spreading Korean fashion around the US.
Whenever she goes to shows abroad,
- paparazzis swarm around her. - I see.
Do paparazzis follow her when she is abroad?
She is a global influencer with charisma.
The model with eight years of experience, Irene!
- Irene! - Irene!
Irene.
Hello, everyone.
(She turns the shoot into a Korean fan meeting event.)
My name is Irene.
And I am from the States,
but currently based in Seoul...
living as a model and influencer.
- She's cute. - She's so cute.
That's the kind of tone you hear...
- on foreign media. - I know.
Is that how you usually introduce yourself??
Because I go to so many events,
I developed an optimistic tone for events.
No wonder your tone was different.
When I go to an event, I go...
Oh, my goodness! Hi, babe.
My goodness.
Oh, my goodness! How are you?
(It's like a scene from a party abroad.)
My goodness.
Oh, my goodness! So good to see you!
Oh, my goodness! I love your outfit!
This is so funny.
- It's hilarious. - Oh, my goodness!
Gosh.
- She says "Oh, my goodness" a lot. - That's hilarious.
That's the tone we hear at events.
Yoon Hee.
(Screaming)
(It doesn't matter who she says hi to.)
All the time...
(Hitting)
My goodness.
In a day, I go to multiple events.
Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my goodness. - She elbowed my nose.
- Irene, you are hilarious. - Seriously.
Irene, the tone you use for events is hilarious.
- But... - You know,
it really is the tone we hear...
when we see parties abroad on TV.
From morning to night,
- I go to... - Let's say someone came.
Hi!
(Her two arms go up in the sky.)
What are you doing here?
(She welcomes another with utmost passion.)
She is good.
(Dropping)
Oh, my goodness.
(She is like Cinderella who drops her glass slipper.)
- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my goodness.
Thank you.
(She is a party girl through and through.)
- She is incredible. - She really is.
She is straight out of the party scenes...
I saw in movies.
But I'm really like that.
I go to 10 events at a time.
When I meet my friends afterward, I end up going,
"Hey! There you are!"
When I do that, my friends go,
"She is on the event mode again."
"Turn off the event mode."
- Irene wasn't... - She is hilarious.
on the list of guests for today's shoot.
I am glad she is here.
- I said Irene has to come. - I am glad she is here.
- That's why she is here today. - Thank you.
Yoon Ju, casting Irene was the best thing you did.
(She cast Irene.)
- That's right. - She is impressive.
In 2016, "Time" chose her as one of the Next Generation Leaders.
- My goodness. - Also,
"Forbes" chose her as one...
of 30 Under 30 Asia.
- She is under 30. - She is impressive.
She is under 30.
When we talk about fashion shows,
we can't leave out the fashion week.
Irene, I heard that you almost flew across fashion shows.
I was on 19 fashion shows.
19 fashion shows?
- That's 4 or 5 shows a day. - 4 or 5 shows a day.
I didn't have time...
to eat or go to the restroom.
After one show,
my manager waited for me.
When I came out, he grabbed my hand and ran.
When I didn't have time,
- I washed my hair in the restroom. - Models do that.
Then I ran again.
One time, I forgot that there was a show...
because there were too many shows.
"I am going home."
"Where are you going? You have one more show."
I was in the opening, too.
I never did a rehearsal or a fitting.
- You didn't do anything. - No, I didn't.
- You didn't know if the outfit fit. - It was so sudden.
It was so sudden.
I got my hair and makeup done in five minutes...
and took the runway.
- So famous. - No, you are famous.
- You are famous. - No.
"You are famous"?
"You are famous."
Didn't she say "No"?
What was that?
"Move."
I will say it with this hand gesture.
You are famous.
It's more polite.
Her hand gestures and such...
have the American vibe.
That hand gesture was impolite.
(She has the cheerful American vibe.)
- Irene is a global star. - Seriously.
Among the members of ESteem Entertainment, she has...
- the most number of followers. - How many followers does she have?
1.5 million followers.
- She has that many followers? - Yes.
- 1.5 million? - Yes.
Hyun Moo has 460,000 followers.
- I have 460,000 followers. - That's amazing.
Not even a picture with BTS got me more followers.
You should post a picture with Irene.
Let's take a picture together. With everyone.
- Please. - All right.
- Okay. - The next guest.
She achieved her dream...
at a young age.
She is a model with a confident gaze and seven years of experience,
- Kim Jin Kyung! - Jin Kyung.
I am a model who is still young, Kim Jin Kyung.
"A model who is still young"?
- That makes her the winner. - I am jealous of her.
- She has a baby face. - How old are you?
- How old are you? - I am 23 years old.
- You are 23 years old. - But you debuted 7 years ago.
Yes. When I was in ninth grade,
I was on "Korea's Next Top Model" and met Yoon Ju.
Her mother is...
about my age.
Jin Kyung's mother.
Jin Kyung, you competed against adults...
when you were in ninth grade.
Weren't you stressed out? How was it?
I think I could do a good job because I didn't know anything.
It was fun.
Currently,
you are starring in "Perfume".
You must be very busy.
- It's the work you wanted. - I have a shoot tomorrow.
Among the dramas that air on Mondays and Tuesdays,
"Perfume" placed first in terms of the viewers' ratings.
Congratulations.
Now that I am on a drama,
- many elders recognize me. - I bet they do.
What do they say?
"You are... Who are you?"
(Who are you?)
(Unsure)
- That's right. - That's the reaction.
Maybe they don't know you.
- They know her. - They know her.
"You are..."
"Who are you?"
People do that to me, too.
I heard that they say...
- you are prettier in person. - Yes.
I hear that a lot.
I have a round face...
that gets puffy very easily. I also have pale skin.
- Do you get puffy very easily? - Yes, I do.
I have a lot of tips for the shoot.
- What are they? - When there is an important shoot,
I run...
- in order to lose my cheeks. - Really?
I jump rope 3,000 times.
- 3,000 times? - Otherwise, I run for an hour.
- You would lose weight that way. - 3,000 times?
- Seriously. - You would lose weight instead.
I thought she would share a useful tip.
- Sometimes, reality hits me. - That's right.
My birthday is in March.
It always coincides with the fashion week,
so I have never had seaweed soup for my birthday.
After I started working.
Every time I realize that,
I think to myself, "It's hard to make a living."
It's hard to manage yourself.
I know.
- Hyun Yi, don't pretend to get it. - Seriously.
Hyun Yi, you don't know what we go through.
I see.
She is like the A.I.
Although it isn't intentional,
Hyun Yi makes people misunderstand...
- like Hae Na has. - That's right.
Really? Am I annoying?
- Yes. - I see.
He is an extraordinary man.
He really is.
He's the quirky and popular man...
in the modeling industry...
with four years of experiences, Jung Hyuk.
(Jung Hyuk)
- Yo, man! - He is charming.
It's good to see him.
I heard that he has a lot of talents.
I heard that he is the crazy one...
in the modeling industry.
(The crazy one in the modeling industry)
- Right? - That's right.
He has a lot of talents.
He is the model who is perfect for the era.
I could see that...
he is free-spirited.
- He has a free spirit. - He is different.
When he stumbled,
I saw his human charm.
Stumbling is a part of the walk these days...
- on the runway. - It was an act.
- Was it an act? - Yes.
I see.
He sure is unusual.
In front of Joy, he put a microphone in his mouth.
In front of whom did he do that?
Did I put a microphone in my mouth?
It wasn't like that.
- What? - Listen to me.
We never stopped listening to you.
- We never stopped listening to you. - Yoon Ju!
We are sick and tired.
Yoon Ju, you are the punching bag! The punching bag.
Punching bag. Yes. Come and punch me.
Let me tell you what Hyuk is like.
- I remember now. - When we go on a retreat,
he participates energetically...
- like a recreation leader. - Really?
He is like that.
One time, he starred in a program with me.
He said,
"I will put a microphone in my mouth!"
He put two microphones in his mouth.
- Two microphones? - Really?
- He has a big mouth. - Please prepare the microphones.
Really?
- All right. - It will surely go in.
- Will it go in? - That microphone...
How?
- My goodness! - It didn't even touch his mouth.
- Let's see it. - It did touch my mouth.
(It goes in easily.)
- My goodness. - Did it hit your uvula?
Don't lie!
It really hit my uvula.
- Put your fist in your mouth. - There's nothing on the microphone.
- Your fist. - Before I do that,
I will compare my hand to Hae Na's.
- I have big hands. - He has big hands.
- He has big hands. - My goodness.
- Compare your hand to mine. - He has two more phalanges.
Compare your hand to mine.
My hands are bigger than most men's.
- His hands are big. - Your hands are really big.
- His jaw might get dislocated. - I put my fist in my mouth often.
- He says he does it often. - The thing is...
Why do you do it often?
I know. I don't want to put my first in my mouth often.
- Why do you do it often? - After I did it once,
- everyone asks me to do it. - That's why he keeps doing it.
- My goodness. - Please show us.
(His fist enters his mouth.)
His mouth is so big.
(Shocked and terrified)
(Is he a model or an eccentric man?)
- His mouth is so big. - Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my goodness. - I did it as a child.
(Oh, my goodness.)
How did it go into his mouth?
Most people can't do it.
My mouth stretches a lot.
- My mouth stretches a lot. - That's why he can do it.
Hyuk, there are tissues.
My skin stretches a lot.
What is wrong with it?
- What? - My goodness.
Are you taking off your face?
- My goodness. - No, no.
Your skin is soft.
Yes. My skin stretches a lot.
- You should be careful. - That and my big mouth...
gave me this ability.
Hyuk, despite your big mouth,
- you are very handsome. - You are too kind.
I heard that you were famous for your looks.
Really?
- Where did you hear that? - He is handsome.
- Where was he well-known? - This is embarrassing.
He was well-known as the Wangsimni Uniqlo Cutie.
- My goodness. - Really?
- I am sorry, but... - The Wangsimni Uniqlo Cutie?
- The Wangsimni Uniqlo Cutie. - I see.
No, no.
- The Wangsimni Uniqlo Cutie. - To see me,
a girl who was attending...
a commercial high school came to work in the store.
- Hold on. - Why did you mention her school?
Hyuk.
To see you...
She was 19 years old.
Did she begin to work there in order to see you?
- Yes. - Really?
She joined the company...
because she wanted to work with me.
- Really? - That's what happened.
I heard that you received letters and presents...
when you worked at the cash register.
- Yes. - He is popular.
- Really? - That's incredible.
- Did students... - Did you contact anyone?
I didn't contact anyone.
- Why not? - Why not?
I was cautious.
You didn't want anything to happen...
- at your workplace. - That's right.
When I was 20 years old,
I made a move on a part-timer.
- My goodness. - That came out of nowhere.
You made a move?
- How did you do that? - I always wondered...
how the part-timer would feel...
- in that situation. - How did that happen?
In front of the university,
there was a store that sold ba si, caramelized sweet potatoes.
I know what it is.
It has been a while since I heard about it.
- Ba si. - Ba si.
It's tasty. It used to be very popular.
- There were many stores. - That's right.
That's right.
- It was as famous as castella. - Was the part-timer handsome?
The part-timer was...
really handsome.
He was so handsome...
that I bought 20 dollars' worth of ba si a day.
I went to the store four times a day.
I lived in the dormitory,
so I visited the store every day.
Did you eat what you bought?
I ate some with friends and gave some away.
I ate sweet potatoes instead of meals.
You must have always had sugar in your mouth.
You ate so much ba si.
I guess my crush became obvious since I visited too often.
The owner of the store would tell the part-timer,
"She came again."
- He figured it out. - One day,
it sudden rained a lot...
while I was waiting for my order.
I didn't have an umbrella.
Nice.
During the wait, the owner of the store...
told the part-timer...
to step outside for a second.
He came to me with an umbrella and said,
"Would you like to go for a cup of tea?"
- He asked first. - Yes, he asked first.
He knew I liked him because I visited too often.
We went to a cafe and had a parfait.
- It's like a movie. - We sat together...
and talked.
The way he seemed to be...
when he was mixing sweet potatoes...
- was very different... - Was it very different?
from the way he really is.
- It was too different. - It ruined your fantasy.
It ruined my fantasy.
I stopped going.
You stopped going to the ba si store.
Yes. After the age of 20, I never had ba si.
- Seriously. - It's a trauma.
- I had too much back then. - My goodness.
Hyuk, you were on the receiving end of that interest.
I wondered how a part-timer would feel.
When the woman came once,
I felt proud. After 2 or 3 times,
I felt pressured.
- How did you deal with it? - I guess I was too much for him.
I would tell my coworker,
"I will go and move some boxes. Please tell me when she leaves."
I did that a few times.
Since we have many models here,
we would like to ask about the trends...
of the approaching summer.
What should we wear to be fashionable?
- That's right. - It seems like...
Sae Ho knows the trends the best. He is wearing neon colors.
- That's right. - Neon colors are...
trendy this year.
Should we dress like a beggar?
- A beggar? - What are you saying?
A beggar?
(He looks just like a beggar.)
A beggar!
Hyun Yi, what do you think?
There are tie-dye items.
- That's right. - In elementary school,
we have made...
- a tie-dye shirt... - Tie-dye technique.
by tying some parts before dying the shirt.
- Tie-dye technique. - Yes.
Is it trendy this year?
Tie-dye patterns are used on T-shirts and such.
- You are right. - Yes.
Hae Na, show them your bag.
- My bag? - It's trendy.
Is that a bag?
- I thought it was her belly. - It's part of the outfit.
Is that a bag?
How could you think it was her belly?
It's not my belly!
This bag is a part of the dress.
It hangs like this.
- It's really pretty. - There is a belt at the back.
- It's really pretty. - It's fashionable...
to match a waist bag...
- to a suit. - Is it trendy?
- Yes. - It's the kangaroo look.
Hae Na recommended an item for us.
Irene, which item do you recommend?
I love neon colors.
Street cleaners?
- Yes. - Yes.
- The vest. - The street cleaners' vest is...
really pretty.
- It's neon-colored. - Yes.
So I brought one.
- Really? - My goodness.
Are you sure it's trendy?
(Unbelievable)
- Neon colors are trendy. - That's right.
There is the utility style.
It's workwear.
It's workwear, but it looks like...
- streetwear too. - She looks pretty in anything.
- It's pretty. - My goodness.
It's pretty.
- It's pretty. - I wore the same thing last year.
I go to Dongmyo very often.
- Dongmyo. - I got really criticized for it.
- I see. - I saw you in it.
I wore it a lot.
- This is... - How much was it?
Eight dollars.
Clothes are cheaper at Dongmyo.
- You should try it on. - Me?
- Yes. - Put it over the suit.
No, no.
The store owner refused to give me a discount.
- It costs less than five dollars. - You need to be a good speaker.
It should go well with a suit.
- That's right. - People wear this at work...
- for safety. - You are making fun of him, right?
No, I am not. Look at this.
- It's for safety. - He looks brighter.
He looks so cool.
Isn't it nice?
You should star in "King of Mask Singer".
He looks like a traffic guide in front of the elementary school.
You know,
I look like a traffic guide.
It goes well with the suit.
- It goes well with it. - Really?
Not at all. It's so pretty.
This look appears on the runway very often.
- But I think... - It's pretty.
- It's pretty. - It's pretty.
Now that I am wearing it...
You paid eight dollars for it. Sell it to Jae Seok. How much is it?
Nine dollars.
Nine dollars?
You said you paid eight dollars for it.
I went all the way there.
- I can't believe this. - Don't buy it.
Irene wants to sell an 8-dollar vest for 9 dollars.
If they make up their minds to sell something,
they will be able to sell anything.
Seriously.
They are good.
If I were here by myself,
I would have bought this vest for nine dollars.
You would have bought the vest for 10 dollars.
- It looked good on you. - You know,
ESteem Entertainment...
isn't only comprised of models.
There are other celebrities...
such as Actress Chae Jeong An...
and Stylist Han Hye Yeon.
There are celebrities...
in a variety of fields.
I heard that you have workshops together.
Yes. The celebrities of ESteem Entertainment...
and all other subsidiaries of S.M. Entertainment come together.
- They come together. - Yes.
That's right. I attended such a workshop once.
All employees had come, so there were 800 to 900 people.
Everyone was there.
ESteem Entertainment had joined S.M. Entertainment that year,
so it was our first time to attend the workshop.
The president is really proud...
of the company,
so she provided the models...
with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
In addition, we had to pick two outfits...
ahead of time.
- The rules are set. - Is it necessary for a workshop?
- We need to get them confirmed. - We do that for a workshop.
- We need to get them confirmed. - It's necessary.
There were two dinners during the workshop.
Everyone dressed comfortably in T-shirts and jeans.
It was a buffet dinner, too.
- A buffet outside. - We had a buffet outside.
We were the only ones in heels.
We looked like giants.
Giants?
- Giants! - I say that...
because everyone else ate comfortably.
We were the only ones...
- who were roaming around in heels. - That's hilarious.
We stood out the most.
Our outfits stood out the most.
If I remember correctly, the dress code was "Bling bling".
- We had to wear fancy clothes. - We looked like...
we were wearing fish scales.
All of us looked like that.
Even from a distance, I could find people from my agency.
"Oh, there they are."
I think our outfits helped because other companies...
didn't look down on us.
- No one stood up. - It seems like...
the president was worried that...
the others would look down on her employees.
She didn't want that to happen.
She didn't want her employees to suffer.
It's a modeling agency.
President Lee Soo Man loves EDM.
He always adds an EDM party in the dinner schedule.
- In the dinner schedule? - After dinner,
EDM suddenly comes on.
We had prepared...
a Halloween costume for that.
We had neon bracelets and such.
When the music changed,
- everyone else became hesitant. - They remained sitting down.
- We got up immediately. - Seriously.
(The models were like fish in the water.)
Hyuk was the most enthusiastic.
(Hyuk was the ultimate insider.)
- You blew the whistle. - You blew the whistle.
- My goodness. - The others must've...
- I did this. - I thought he was making the sound.
SM Entertainment holds masquerades...
and parties from time to time.
But they are different.
- We are different. - The SM artists are all too modest.
- Right. - Even if they're dressed up.
It's the same even for EXO and Super Junior.
They don't go wild.
- They get shy. - They get shy.
They hesitate to go too wild. But they suddenly came...
and shot water guns like party people.
We were tall and dressed in flashy clothes.
- And we went wild. - People were shocked.
- "Who are they?" - Right.
It was my first time meeting Hyuk.
We represented the same agency, but we didn't get to meet.
I didn't think he was one of my agency's artists.
I thought he was from that event organizing company.
- A party planner. - A party planner.
- It's... - A party planner.
He came out blowing the whistle, wearing the hat backward,
so I thought he was someone hired by the agency.
- Were you there too, Irene? - I wasn't there.
- It would've been nice if you were. - I'm so sad.
She would've spent an hour greeting everyone.
"Hey, Soo Man!"
- "Hey, Soo Man!" - "Hey, Soo Man!"
I am sorry, boss.
- "Hey, Soo Man!" - I mean...
Even BoA doesn't talk to him that way.
I don't know about parties,
but I know that Irene has to be at every party.
- She's a must. - Irene needs to be there.
She's the party starter, the ultimate party animal.
I don't know about anything else,
but our agency is very proud of the parties it hosts.
- We like to have fun. - We celebrate every occasion.
At the year-end party, so much cash prizes are offered.
- Really? - Yes.
They held a freestyle dance competition,
- and I was the winner. - Did you win it?
- Of course, she did. - Which dance did you do?
- It was a freestyle dance. - They won it together.
- We won it together. - You won it together.
- We were just busy eating. - So she won the competition.
- I am curious about the dance. - I am curious too.
How should you dance to win at the dance competition?
- We all dance well, you know. - Do you?
- Yoon Ju. - Why would you say that?
- Really? - Everyone has a different standard.
Let's show them how we dance.
Please.
(Let's show them how we dance.)
First, we want to see how Hyuk dances.
(Come on, Mr. Whistle.)
- Just me? - Hyuk.
Come on.
- What are you doing? - Show who you are.
(Show Me the Hyuk)
1, 2, 3.
(Are you watching?)
He's the ultimate insider.
(He's the ultimate insider.)
Oh, this song.
(Swag)
He's good.
(He dominates the stage with the hammering move.)
(Rolly, Rolly, Rolly)
- That's it. - Here goes Yoon Ju.
(She started to move.)
- There she goes. - She's coming.
When I come out everyone comes out.
The winner, Yoon Ju.
(The champion of freestyle dancing competition starts dancing.)
(She moves limply.)
Yoon Ju.
(Her dreamlike dance move mesmerized many.)
This is SM Entertainment.
Gosh. Yoon Ju.
Next is Hyun Yi.
(Come on, Hyun Yi.)
- Come on. - She must have a repertoire.
It's this song.
It's Hyun Yi.
"Paparazzi"?
("Paparazzi" by Kan Mi Youn)
(It's a surprising song choice. How surprising would her dance be?)
(Compare it to the original.)
(We are excited to see Hyun Yi's version of "Paparazzi".)
(She moves like a tree.)
- That's it. - That's it.
It perfectly suits the music.
(She's got the confidence of Mi Youn.)
It suits the music.
Next is Hae Na﻿. Come on, Hae Na﻿.
(Hae Na﻿, the next dancer, moves to the dance stage.)
Hae Na﻿ is next.
She's not yet.
(Go in. I am not done yet.)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E37 Happy Together S4 "The Model Entertainers Special" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Her hip joints are working hard today.)
(Click, click)
Hyun Yi. Hyun Yi is so funny.
Hyun Yi is so funny.
(Did you think it was over? The song changes.)
(Her 2nd choice: "Queen" by Son Dam Bi)
(We are excited to see Queen Hip Joint's performance.)
(Rattling)
(But she's got the most lovely facial expression.)
She won't end it.
Hyun Yi is hilarious.
(Her lip-syncing is a bonus.)
(She's Lee Dam Bi.)
She's cute.
She even does this move.
(She turns around for the fans.)
Please give it up for her.
(She put on the loveliest performance.)
- It suits you so well. - She dances well.
Everyone often goes to parties,
- They are different. - so they don't look awkward.
- By the way, it was so fun. - She was amazing.
- I loved "Paparazzi". - Thank you.
- You are the best. - By the way,
we talked about many things, and we've seen their dance.
But these days, Hyun Yi feels old at work.
I've been feeling it for a long time.
The fashion industry became smaller,
so there are fewer fashion shows and photo shoots.
But we don't get hired for...
those few remaining fashion shows.
Elder models don't often get hired.
When I do get hired for a show and get my hair and makeup done,
- I find myself alone. - You must feel lonely.
They say hello to me...
and stay somewhere else by themselves.
It's not the same as before.
- I feel lonely. - RIght.
- I am like a lonely desert island. - A lonely desert island?
- Really. - But...
I can sympathize.
- The younger models must... - Yes.
- find it hard to approach you. - It must be hard.
Of course.
- Are you uncomfortable with me? - I am afraid of making a mistake.
- Right. - You might say something stupid.
I heard Jin Kyung is a bossy young model.
- A while ago, she... - Actually,
There are some young people who are bossy.
Bossy people don't know that they are bossy.
I thought of it today on the way here.
- What happened? - How?
I don't know if it's because she's very sociable.
But I talk to most people using honorifics.
It lasts for a very long time. I do that even to younger models.
But only after meeting twice, she started talking informally to me.
She said, "Hyuk, did you eat?"
Since we weren't that close, and I am shy,
I didn't know what to do. She was more experienced after all.
Now we are close, so it's fine, but...
- It was like that at first. - How old are you, Hyuk?
- I am 29. - He's old.
Asking for one's age is a common trait of a bossy person.
- "How old are you, Hyuk?" - I didn't know.
Bossy Cho always asks, "Which year did you debut?"
Which year did you debut?
When I was getting makeup in the salon, she said,
"Hyuk, you are getting the makeup in the seat of honor, aren't you?"
(Hyuk, you are getting the makeup in the seat of honor, aren't you?)
- Jin Kyung. - "You're sitting in the high seat."
That's not it.
Jin Kyung.
- It's nice to meet you. - Jin Kyung.
- Jin Kyung. - Nice to meet you.
- That's not it. He was mistaken. - Jin Kyung.
What did you do, Irene? She's massaging Jin Kyung's leg.
- Irene. - Put your legs up.
- She's just being smart. - I need to live.
- Hyuk... - It's so funny.
It's just that I am playful.
How did you say it?
Hyuk, you are getting the makeup in the seat of honor, aren't you?
(Hyuk's heart stops.)
- She sounds threatening. - Did you wanted him to move?
(Did she wanted him to move?)
- That's not it. - She's scary.
- I was just joking. - Ms. Young Boss, you're amazing.
- I was just being playful. - You are scary, Jin Kyung.
- She's scary. - This drives me crazy.
- She was just joking. - We ran into each other.
He never used to say hi to me. But today, for the first time,
he bowed and said hello.
Hyun Yi was next to me.
You weren't happy about Hyuk not saying hi to you.
He never greeted me, but he did today. And that was...
(She suddenly spoke her mind.)
Did you mean to say he's annoying?
- She was annoyed by him. - I didn't do that.
- That's why... - She was annoyed.
We shared the ride.
She chose to sit in the passenger seat.
But she said I was in the high seat again.
She makes people feel very uncomfortable.
- My goodness. - I said, "What should I do then?"
On the side, there was someone riding a kick scooter.
"You should ride that."
You remind me of the sergeant who used to bully me.
I said that because we are close.
- You were just joking. - I was just joking.
Hyun Yi, how does underwear make you feel old?
In the past, when I used to work for fashion shows,
they were very strict about underwear.
- We had to take off the bra. - Really?
- Yes. - We had to wear a skin-color thong.
And then we wore clothes on top.
That's how it used to be.
But recently, I was at a fashion show,
and I saw people wearing leopard print underwear.
- Not a thong? - Not a thong and a leopard print.
- It shows through though. - And they did the show.
In the past, elder models...
sometimes gathered us...
and checked our underwear.
- They checked your underwear? - That's right.
These days, it's all about the arrangement between...
the model and the designer.
If the designer says it's okay, everything is fine.
She is the one who pushed the norm.
- It was Yoon Ju. - Right.
Didn't you listen to the older models?
It means she never listened to the older models.
Right. Bingo.
I got scolded so many times.
I got scolded for being late, for being frivolous,
and for being loud. I got scolded so many times.
Everyone says the same thing. You were just loud.
You are talking so much today.
You are being scolded today.
- Yes. - So I decided not to do that.
- Right. - I was always unhappy about it.
- Right. - I got scolded so many times.
- You wanted to be a nice one. - By the way,
Yoon Ju, you said older generation models...
walk differently from the younger generation models.
Right. For walking...
- Do young people walk differently? - Yes.
- It's the same with comedy. - Right. There's a trend.
There's no such thing as the right way to be a model.
People used to say a model has to be tall,
and the model has to walk incredibly well.
- "Power walking". - That's...
- something of the past. - That's gone now.
There's a trend,
and you need to walk in the style that's in line with the trend.
These days, when you walk in the way you're taught,
people say you look too stiff and that it's old-fashioned.
"It's clear she's out of fashion."
Then please show us how the walking styles changed.
Please show us.
I walked so much.
Let's say...
we are in the 80s.
Women were very glamorous,
and they expressed themselves very boldly.
So this is how they walked. Music, please.
Oh, dear.
- Right. Right. - Right. Right.
I remember seeing this style.
It was as if her shoulders are dislocated.
(The flashy turns and hip movements are the key.)
- Right. - It's flashy.
- A lot of turns. - A lot of turns.
You turn a lot.
- That's the old style. - You move your hips a lot.
Then women...
became chic.
"Why do I have to pose a lot?"
"I will give them only what they paid for."
(She opens her eyes big.)
Okay.
Capitalism hit the runway.
- "You get what you paid for." - "You get what you paid for."
"I am a top model."
(Her great lesson is very catchy.)
Amazing lines.
Now, the point is the legs, not hips.
The focus is on the legs.
Right. Right.
- Right. Right. - Right.
(You need to look indifferent and chic.)
- She's not moving much. - Right. Right.
- She's not waving her hips. - Even the legs don't move much.
- The legs are the focus. - Make an X.
The legs are the focus.
- The legs are the focus. - Yes.
What's up with her face?
They must've paid you only half.
You seemed like you weren't happy with the payment.
- They didn't pay her first. - "I am the top model."
- "I am the top model." - So that's that.
- These days, you can't do that. - Right.
But still, there's this.
- Even if the times have changed, - You need to master the basics.
- Right. - The trend is...
walking naturally, as if you're walking on a street.
But depending on the outfit, there are times when...
you need to walk more powerfully. Then the audience will go,
"Gosh, who is that model?"
I thought you were cursing.
(She surprised everyone.)
Please watch what you say.
This time, I will walk naturally.
- Right. - Right.
- Hyuk, help me. - All right.
Am I joining you?
- Of course. - Really?
Show us.
(The latest style of walking)
It's much more natural.
She's relaxed.
It's much more natural.
She's relaxed. Very relaxed.
It's natural.
You wouldn't say, "Yo".
Hyuk.
Yes.
(Here comes Hyuk.)
- He's great. - I think I've seen it.
- He's amazing. - I think I've seen it.
- It's natural. - Yes.
It almost looks like he's not trying too hard.
- Depending on the outfit... - It changes.
If you are wearing a very casual outfit,
you can say, "Yo". You can do this hand gesture.
I think it represents the image of women...
of a certain time.
Walking represents it.
Do male models...
walk differently now?
- It changed very much. - How did it change?
In the past, male models walked just like the female models.
- It's much more relaxed now. - Right.
You get to show who you really are.
- Show us. - Show us.
A female model turns differently...
from a male model.
I will show you.
A female model would walk like this.
When you reach the end,
you just turn back and walk.
But in the past, male models used to do this to look cool.
- How? - You walk like this.
And you do this.
You walk backward.
(You suddenly walk backward.)
Right.
- They used to do that. - Right.
That's it. That's it.
- You have to linger. - You have to linger.
You have to linger a little.
- You have to linger a little. - Right. Right.
Male models call it...
"Cha Seung Won Walking".
Right. Right.
(He poses after the chic walking.)
(He turns after a lingering stare.)
This is what Seung Won does.
When he reaches this point,
he stares at the audience.
You don't just turn right away.
He walks backward first.
Right. Right.
In Seung Won's case,
he always... Before the cue,
he boxes.
(He always boxes.)
He really does.
No way.
That's nonsense.
Why would he do this?
Yoon Ju is so funny today.
- Don't lie. - I love it.
- He warmed up. - He warmed up.
Why would he warm up there?
Irene is amazing.
She went on NBC's famous talk show,
"Today".
She's showing off...
Spark it up. Add a little splash of...
- Really? - Mornings are the prime time.
Right.
I think it's viewed by about four million people.
Really?
- That's amazing. - Four million people?
People watch it in the morning.
It was about...
the most influential influencers...
introducing spring trends.
I had to be very natural.
At first, I was so nervous.
It was a live show.
And everything was so thoroughly...
mapped out, so I was nervous.
So I went in front of the camera and said, "Hi, my name is Irene."
She's hyper all the time.
"Hi, my name is Irene."
She's hyper all the time.
I talked about the latest trend.
I grew up in the US,
but I have Korean power.
Do you know the twinkle hair extensions that idol stars do?
I went there with that.
I went with the twinkle hair extensions,
and I put some hairpins like Jennie.
I told them it was Korea's latest trend.
A lot of foreign fans loved it.
I heard Red Velvet...
got their style inspiration from Irene.
I am very close to their hairdresser.
Hairdressers know each other, you know.
- Right. - Right.
They said a new idol group from SM Entertainment was debuting...
and that I was the style inspiration.
They asked my hairdresser...
how she dyed my hair.
I remember that. That hair.
That was the inspiration.
Irene has that hair too.
It made me feel really good.
"Oh, my mini-me."
(Oh, my mini-me.)
- "Oh, my mini-me." - "Oh, my mini-me."
They were like my babies.
- They were so cute. - "My mini-me."
The Red Velvet members would be surprised.
Irene, you were living in the US.
How did you become a model in Korea?
When I was young,
I came to Korea every summer.
My family was in Korea.
When I was in middle school,
and an entertainment agency of a very famous actor...
cast me.
- You got cast on the street. - Yes. I got cast on the street.
I was with Mom,
so I thought we should go.
We went, and they took all my profile photos.
I moved onto Round Two and went in for an interview.
"Your face is lovely."
"But to be an actress..."
"Why don't we upgrade your looks?"
He suggested that I get an eye enlargement surgery...
and a nose job.
- My goodness. - I don't know...
how I mustered up the courage to ask him this.
I asked the CEO.
"If I get the plastic surgery,"
"are you confident to make me a star?"
I asked him that.
- She was so bold. - My mom told me.
- She's so bold. - That's not easy. That's amazing.
When I said that, he smirked...
and said that he wasn't confident.
- He's an honest man. - So I said,
"Then I won't do it." And I left.
You considered many things in such a short time.
Irene, you are a famous celebrity now,
but I heard it was difficult in the beginning.
The profession "influencer"...
- isn't defined clearly. - Right.
I just...
I liked fashion, and I wanted to go to fashion shows.
I wanted to see fashion shows.
So even if I wasn't invited, I just went there.
I changed my outfit seven times.
- Your outfit? - Alone?
I changed my outfit seven times. I packed eight suitcases.
- That was the very first. - That must've been so tough.
I dyed my hair with rainbow colors.
I wore a very colorful skirt and...
did this there.
I wore a very colorful skirt and did this there.
(Look at me, everyone!)
I did that.
The photographers were like, "Who is that blue-haired girl?"
- That's how I got photos taken. - They took photos of you.
That went on the New York Times.
- Really? - And on street fashion magazines.
When I went there, outside the fashion show venue,
there were so many people like her.
When we talk to them, they asked us to take photos of them.
They asked us to take photos and to post them on social media.
And they also asked us to send the photos to them.
- That's how they build a career. - They market themselves.
- These days... - It was fun.
But at the time,
there weren't any social media platforms.
- Right. - Being exposed on...
media was such a big deal.
Nothing ever comes without hard work.
Right.
She didn't gain 1.5 million followers without effort.
- Of course. - Right.
Hyuk, you used to be the handsome boy of Wangsimni, right?
How did you become a model?
Whenever girls came, they asked me...
if I was a model.
When I was working at a clothing shop,
customers asked me...
if I had been a model.
I heard it so many times.
So I thought, "Should I audition?"
So I went to an audition right away.
At the time,
I was into singing and rapping.
So I sang "Supermagic" of Supreme Team and passed.
- You rapped there? - Yes. I rapped.
Ever since then, a lot of people...
- They said you were good. - have asked if I'm a rapper.
We have a microphone you can use over there.
Nice.
You naturally led us here.
I'll try to bring back the emotions...
from that time.
Judges, check it out
Supermagic
(A stage that is ready, I'm dancing, I move with style and class)
He's really good. He's confident.
(His rap is of high quality.)
(This is the swag of a top model.)
He's good.
He's great.
- He's really good. - I know.
He has his own vibe.
Supermagic!
Let the wind
Let the wind blow
That's how far as I'll go.
(Everyone is amazed.)
- He's good. - He is.
He could be a contender on "Show Me the Money".
I have been consistently working on my own songs.
- Really? - I see.
- He has his own groove. - Right.
Hyun Yi, don't you feel pressured when...
the clients or the audience...
watch you at a close range?
Well, they're looking at the jewelry and not me.
Anyway, we do a lot of shows for VVIPs.
- What? - VVIPs?
- Really? - A private show?
- A completely private show. - For VVIPs.
The client books the largest suite room...
of a hotel.
About 2 to 4 people attend the event,
and we put on a private show for them.
That's true, and since they are...
VVIP customers,
they have bought at least 200,000 dollars worth of items...
from that brand.
- Yes, from head to toe. - 200,000 dollars worth?
200,000 dollars worth of clothes?
Why did it give you a reality check though?
I was modeling for a VVIP client that day.
Normally, they're much older than I am,
but this particular client was young.
I really didn't think much of it at the time,
but she came looking for me backstage...
after the show which I was grateful for.
"Hyun Yi, I'm a huge fan."
"I like you so much that I bought everything you were wearing."
- What? - My gosh.
I was jealous.
"I like you so much that I bought everything you were wearing."
How much was it all worth?
The coat alone was 80,000 dollars.
(Highly expensive)
It was a fur coat, to be exact.
For a moment there, I couldn't stop gasping.
- A single coat... - A single coat.
- was worth two SUVs. - Exactly.
Actually, clothes are on the cheaper side.
But when we're modeling for a jewelry brand...
- Exactly. - Everything's worth 1.5 million.
The price skyrockets.
- I see. - The starting price is high.
It's like 500,000 dollars per earring.
Let's say that the VVIPs are here to buy the jewelry.
- We approach them. - They'll be like this.
We show it to them like so.
- Really. - For real!
- It's true. - It's what we do.
Isn't that too close up?
I show it to them like so.
I show the bracelet like this too.
My gosh.
I let them see the jewelry properly.
During my first show though, I was extremely nervous.
I just showed you how I present them.
- Right. - But...
I was so nervous that I shook like a tree.
"Can you stop shaking?"
I was that nervous.
- It's understandable. - Really?
- Of course you're nervous. - Right?
- How can you not be? - That's right.
This one time, I had a watch on this arm.
I had to present it, but...
I showed someone an arm with no watch on it.
The client had to see my bare arm.
- So... - I presented my bare arm.
That's what I really did.
The VVIP will be like, "What am I supposed to buy?"
- The nail art design? - Yes, probably.
I was that nervous at the time.
The lady actually held my hand.
- That's nice. - That's kind of her.
- Like this. - That was humane of her.
She held my hand and looked at the jewelry.
- I see. - Because she couldn't see anything.
You only showed her your bare arm!
- Like this. - I bet this is on your mind though.
What if one of the brand's top clients...
doesn't buy what you're modeling?
- Does that worry you? - You do wonder.
We're like, "How much did you sell today?"
- Like a home shopping host? - "I sold everything today!"
We try to sell more...
because we tend to get competitive.
- We overdo it. - Once one model puts on a show,
the next one strikes a more dramatic pose.
The one after that completely overdoes it.
It becomes a full-on competition.
Before you know it, everyone's dancing.
Do you sell more if you do those moves though?
- No, right? - I'm not sure.
- Right. - Not really.
- Still... - You do get a lot of attention.
As the model of this certain brand, you...
- We want the items to sell. - That's all you really want.
Just so you know, there are bodyguards...
- at these events. - Of course, there are.
They're not there to protect the VVIPs though.
- We're wearing the jewelry, right? - They're worried you'll run off?
- Yes, to keep them safe. - They're guarding the jewelry.
They're too expensive not to.
There's one bodyguard per model.
Really?
So their eyes are only on the jewelry.
- Exactly. - "Empty your pockets, please."
- Since we... - What if...
you drop any of them?
Then you're in big trouble.
You're in big trouble.
We're not allowed to take them off or anything.
Only those with the gloves on can.
- My gosh. - Thankfully,
the floors are always covered in carpets at those events.
Exactly.
- They shouldn't be dropped. - To prevent any scratches?
The jewelry shouldn't be damaged or...
even slightly scratched.
- That's right. - Jung Hyuk, I hear that...
you also experienced a reality check too.
It was similar in a way.
I was modeling a motorcycle jacket,
and it cost about 40,000 dollars.
I'm living in an apartment that has a 10,000 dollar deposit.
I thought to myself...
that this jacket cost four times...
more than that.
- Just the one jacket. - It's understandable.
It was a harsh reality check and it made me ponder.
- Of course. - It's natural...
to have those thoughts.
That's the life of most people though.
It was like that for me when I was a rookie too.
When I first learned of this completely different world,
I was shocked, to say the least.
I was modeling for people living in a different world.
That was reality.
After completing this one show,
I remember going to Namdaemun Market...
on a shopping spree like a mad woman.
Because of that gap?
I was only in my early 20s.
I remember just roaming the streets.
Back in the day,
it was every model's dream to walk for Andre Kim.
That's right.
I hear that Hyun Yi has a bad memory regarding his show.
Mr. Kim was known to be quite strict.
- Of course. - Before he passed, I mean.
If his show was at 9pm,
we'd have to be on standby since 7am.
We'd then do about 4 to 5 rehearsals.
Yoon Ju showed us the walks earlier on,
but there was nothing natural about his show.
Everything was staged.
- Performances. - And poses.
The forehead kiss.
You have to wear at least seven outfits.
Everything had to go as planned.
Two models stand at the top...
and start by striking this pose.
- My gosh. - You then walk down the runway.
This one time, I started to walk,
but my partner was nowhere to be seen.
While walking down the runway,
you have to strike the pose once again in the middle.
Then you walk to the end.
The runway was so long that I forgot about the pose.
My partner was nowhere to be seen,
so I turned around.
She was in the pose, so she was just as flustered...
to see me walk ahead.
- My gosh. - I knew that...
I'd get an earful because of this.
I didn't think that models got flustered, but they do.
- I was extremely flustered. - You must've been told off.
Once the show is over,
we normally exchange nice words, but I just ran out of there.
Jin Kyung, what about you?
I hear that it's quite hectic backstage.
It's complete chaos back there.
- Isn't it a mess? - Models even...
put on clothes that are meant for other models.
This one time, I found that my shoes were too big.
- They were falling off. - So I...
fastened them with some tape and managed to walk in them.
After the finale walk,
I saw a few shoes left on the stage as if Cinderella had come by.
It was after everyone had walked.
- I was there too. - That's right.
So they had come off.
About three shoes were left...
- on the stage. - Really?
They had come off while walking.
The models can't pick up their shoes though.
- Three shoes... - That's right.
Three shoes were missing their owner.
Do the models who walk next pick up the shoes?
No, we can't.
That's why we're flustered at the sight.
- Do you walk around them? - What do you do?
- Yes, we walk around them. - I see.
Have you ever burst into laughter...
- on stage? - Because of Yoon Ju!
You could always be happy to see someone.
You just can't help yourself sometimes.
Announcers experience the same thing while presenting the news.
- Trying to hold it makes it worse. - Exactly.
This one time, it happened during the finale walk.
The music playing was...
- an elegant classical number. - With a beautiful melody.
I suddenly burst into laughter.
That's scary.
I couldn't hold it in, so I ended up doing this.
(Spluttering)
- I know what you mean. - Actually,
- when on the runway... - It drives you crazy.
We have a rule among models which is...
to not look at Yoon Ju.
That's right.
She often bursts out laughing.
Yoon Ju showed us some high fashion poses...
when she was on the show the last time.
I hear that she asked the staff this time too...
if she could...
get an opportunity to introduce the field to her juniors.
I've prepared a number of items like last time.
Could we ask you for some poses then?
- Even with these items... - You can make it work.
- Show us your professionalism. - Yoon Ju, you first.
Goodness.
- Must I go first? - Of course.
Do not think that this pot is a pot.
When you're striking poses,
even though it's a black plastic bag,
- you must make it look fashionable. - Right.
- That's our job. - She's stalling for time to think.
Sorry?
You're trying to buy some time.
Was it that obvious?
- Gosh. - Yoon Ju, go ahead.
- All right. Let's have some music. - Music, please.
How about a ladle?
- Look at that pose. - How about a ladle?
They look like designer purses.
- Handbags? - That's right.
(Experience brings out these lines from her.)
(He suddenly stands up.)
- Yoon Ju. - Yes?
(He hands her a showerhead.)
(I believe in you, Yoon Ju.)
I'll show you what avant-garde is.
(She wraps it around her neck.)
It's not easy at all.
This isn't easy.
(She showers and gargles at the same time.)
It's captivating.
What about the one where you cinch the waist?
The waist.
(Sucking in air)
(High fashion)
I want something new and original though.
It's been a while, so come on out, Hyun Moo.
Why me?
There are comedians you can choose from.
- You're in a pretty outfit. - She's right.
- This looks like a nice one. - What can I do with this?
(She forces him to work with a winnowing basket.)
- What can I do with this? - This is an easy one though.
- This is easy? - It's on the easier side.
- This is easy? - Somewhat, yes.
- How is this easy? - It's big.
- Really? - So it's easier to utilize.
- I think it'll be hard for him. - Look at him!
(The style within him explodes.)
There's a style to it.
It's great.
- Really? - Yes.
(Are you all seeing this?)
He's doing good.
(Call me a fashionista.)
(Title: Ma'am, Give Me Some Salt, Please)
- He's good at this. - Yoon Ju...
- Do you know what she said? - What?
I asked her if she was...
really amazed by it, but she wasn't.
Why did you make me do it?
There's a style to it.
(Is he really doing a good job?)
(No way.)
He's good though.
You did well though.
What are you talking about?
- Hyun Yi, you're up next. - Hyun Yi!
Go ahead and choose an item.
There aren't many left.
She pretended to be amazed.
The rubber gloves?
- Nice. - That's a good choice.
Aren't the gloves too easy though?
You can strike any pose you want.
Don't you dare turn into a chicken.
Hyun Yi?
That's the same pose.
She twirled it above her head.
(I'll scrub every surface.)
This looks like a scrubbing towel.
(Stretching)
She's emphasizing how stretchy they are.
What's that?
(What's that?)
She's emphasizing how stretchy they are.
(She ends with a questionable pose.)
(Tension in the crook of the knee)
(Was that stylish?)
Hae Na, you're up next.
- Of course. - Can we change up the music?
- Hae Na will take the ladle. - The first one that was played.
The ladle? It won't be easy.
- It looks difficult, right? - What can you do with it?
Yes, this kind of music.
(Take that!)
(Ice climbing)
- Nice! - That's great.
(A cyber female warrior of the apocalypse)
Look at her.
- She's playing golf. - She's really good.
(An elegant swing)
(Nice shot!)
Nice.
That was great.
I suddenly realized something though.
Before Yoon Ju came along, models didn't have to do this.
This is so out of the blue.
Suddenly...
- Anyway, next up is Irene. - Yes, Irene!
(Last but not least, Irene)
- Irene! - I like who's ending the show.
There's something like a purse in there too.
(Clattering)
Do you have to rummage through all that?
This is what she wants.
Oh, that.
- Nice. - It's the rubber washtub.
- She's using the tub. - Music, please.
(She commands the stage.)
She sure is charismatic.
She looks like a ring girl.
My gosh.
(She suddenly sits down.)
(It's now a designer bathtub!)
(Rummaging)
What's she doing?
(Is this paradise?)
She's taking a bath.
(We're suddenly at a resort.)
Irene!
(Satisfied)
My gosh.
(She proves why she's an international influencer.)
- You're so sexy. - That was great.
They all reinterpreted the items into those of high fashion.
- Right. - It shouldn't just be us though.
- The MCs... - We can make it work too.
- Yoon Hee will represent us. - Me?
(Yoon Hee will represent the MCs.)
- It'll be Yoon Hee. - She can do it.
- What? - Which one would you like?
- I'll take it seriously then. - The broom?
- No, the purse. - We were all serious too though.
She has been thinking about what to do.
- I don't think that's a purse. - It's a portable seat.
Is that a purse?
No, you sit on it.
It's a portable seat.
- I see. - Really?
I suddenly want it though.
- Right. - It's the next it-bag.
My gosh.
Goodness.
(She poses like a professional model.)
She looks so pretty.
That's so pretty.
(Whatever I hold always looks luxurious.)
Models are known to work hard to stay in shape.
I know for a fact that Hae Na is a regular at Na Rae Bar.
You slept and partied there for three days.
I'm actually good friends with Na Rae.
Many people have asked me...
if you really need permission to leave Na Rae Bar.
It's one of the most frequently asked questions.
I didn't leave the house for three days though.
- I couldn't. - Really?
Rumor has it that Na Rae seals the door.
There was Ji Min, actress Lee Chae Young,
Sung Hoon, and a few others.
When you wake up the next day after partying,
you're greeted with Chinese food.
- Really? - Yes.
- That's Na Rae. - Then she says...
that Chinese wine is what you did with Chinese food,
and she drinks it.
The guests drink while she goes off to work.
When she comes back,
we start all over again.
That's how we spent three days at her house.
I went over to her place about five times a week.
I ended up gaining 8kg in a month.
- Of course. - Alcohol and snacks...
She won't even let you leave.
If you're locked up like that,
- then it's possible. - She can't really move around.
I really gained 8kg.
I shot a video of me back then...
and I was shocked to see that...
my face had doubled in size.
(No way.)
I cut Na Rae from my life for a while,
and I lost weight.
- She cut Na Rae from her life. - She had to for her job.
You cut Na Rae instead of cutting carbs.
Na Rae sure is impressive though.
Even after you drink all night, you wake up the next day...
to the sound of a knife being sharpened.
(A scraping sound)
- She's slicing raw fish. - No way.
We have raw fish for breakfast.
- She never gets exhausted. - She's truly amazing.
Yoon Ju, you must be sick and tired...
- of maintaining your figure. - Definitely.
I hear there's something you hate being asked.
- What's that? - When I was in my 20s,
I didn't gain weight that easily either.
However, that changed from my late 20s though.
It's why I had to find the workouts that I could enjoy.
I'd also get nervous if I didn't complete three workouts a week.
That's right.
You can't suddenly stop working out.
But it's like this.
I sometimes eat food that I want to as well,
but people tell me that I shouldn't eat it.
"Can models eat such things?"
- It makes me angry. - Right.
- What do you say in return? - "We eat too, you know."
- Right. - You know,
- a lot of people... - I've had people tell me...
to quit modeling if I was going to eat like that.
I know what you mean.
- When I eat... - Even models have off-seasons.
- Right. - That's right.
It's time for our show's signature segment.
We'll now erase your dark pasts.
Yoon Ju, what's this about your legs disappearing?
I did a show last year with Song Ji Hyo, Joy, and others.
For an episode, we went to an amusement park.
Since the others are on the shorter side,
I tried to be considerate and lower my height.
- This is how the photo came out. - Look at this.
I thought it was of a ghost.
Your legs are really missing.
- No way. - Where are her legs?
What?
Was this photoshopped?
- How? - They're not here.
- Her legs... - Where are they?
Let me show you.
My hips are off to the side...
like this.
So you're leaning.
We prepared some drawings to help you understand.
(Visual aid)
What on earth is this?
The other one seems too wild.
- It's not the one on the right. - Of course not.
- It's the one on the left. - So that's how it is.
It happens when you twist your body like that.
- Your body was completely twisted. - Exactly.
Here you go.
Yes, that's right. It's another photo we took.
- It's just a different angle. - The only difference...
is that Sunny was blocking the view of my legs more.
I received a lot of messages...
asking me to explain about this photo.
(Everyone was curious about it.)
"Where are your legs?"
And just like that, we showed you the story behind...
- Yoon Ju's missing legs. - Right.
We'll erase the photo so that it doesn't shock anyone else.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Hyun Yi has a photo she's been pestered by.
- Really? - Which one?
It's the kind that always pops up online for a laugh.
The one that brings you constant agony.
- What is it? - Agony?
What on earth is that?
My gosh.
Are you an avocado?
I think it's a durian.
- A durian? - Are you a durian?
Are you an avocado or a durian? Tell us that at least.
- It's neither. - Which show was it?
There was a show in Milan...
which showcased the designer, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.
It was one of the biggest shows.
- So she... - She's a famous designer.
- Like haute couture. - It's a high-end fashion piece.
It's a dress?
Yes, it's a dress.
- Your hair is sticking out. - I thought it was photoshopped.
My hair was showing like that on purpose.
Anyway, the photo was taken.
Ever since then, it's been featured in posts...
that are meant to generate laughter saying that...
modeling isn't always glamorous.
Do people actually wear that besides the models?
I haven't seen anyone wearing that yet.
Who would wear that?
Even the designer wouldn't wear that.
That's quite unusual.
I heard that they paid you a lot on this show.
They did.
They paid me more on this show than the other shows.
It's a very successful brand.
I have a question. Didn't anyone laugh at that time?
No. Everyone was so serious.
- We'll get rid of this photo. - Right.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Irene, you tend to be indifferent. But that's what makes you charming.
You said something really sharp to one of the journalists.
- You did? - Yes.
The title of the article was,
"So What If She Doesn't Have a Curvy Body?"
"Irene's Charm Is All About Her Beautiful Legs"
- So is this true? - Why did the reporter write this?
I was invited to...
an award ceremony for public TV for the first time.
- I was very nervous. - Right.
When I saw the photo,
it looked like I had a less curvy body.
I read the title of the article.
Although I'm not very good at Korean,
I could tell that...
he was trying to belittle women.
I made a screenshot,
and posted it on my social media.
I wrote, "What matters is...
the inner beauty."
"Inner beauty is the important thing."
"So just love yourself."
I was very nervous at first.
I was taking a shot at a journalist.
- I tried to stand up myself. - You stood up for yourself.
But that post earned the most number of likes.
It also had the most number of views too.
- You shared your opinion. - Right.
My fans could relate to me more on this topic.
- Well done. - Yes.
Irene's very shrewd,
whereas Hyun Yi's so sloppy that got she got scammed before.
- Right. - Yes, it happened.
I owned a restaurant a few years ago.
When I first opened it,
there was a time that I wasn't making much money.
One evening,
a gentleman who dressed up in a cashmere coat walked in.
He seemed like he was in an urgent situation.
He started talking about some bank.
There was a bank right in front of my old restaurant.
He said, "Today is the bank manager's birthday."
"But I forgot to book a restaurant."
"There are 12 of us."
"Could you get me a table for 12?"
Restaurants usually have tables for four.
All of my staff came...
and set up tables for 12.
He also said, "The bank manager..."
"only drinks a specific French wine."
We obviously didn't have that wine.
He asked me to get that.
He said...
he would pay me twice the price I'd pay for the wine.
So I asked him, "How much is the wine you want?"
He said, "It would be about 200 dollars."
So I thought, "That means he'd pay me 400 dollars."
- You'd make a lot of profit. - We would make...
a lot of profit from this.
I told him that I'd go and get the wine.
I said, "I'll go and buy it."
He said, "You should stay here."
What?
"The bank manager's coming over to see you, Hyun Yi."
- He told me to stay. - He knew that you were the owner.
He told me to stay.
So I gave my debit card to one of the part-timers.
I told the part-timer to buy the wine with the card.
But after that,
the scammer tried to induce his plan.
He said, "You can only buy it with cash. "
"Share your password."
Then I just shared my password because I thought it was urgent.
- That's not good. - You told your part-timer.
- I shared it to my part-timer. - Right.
As soon as the part-timer walked out,
he also said "Could you also get me the cake I ordered on the way back?"
He sent the part-timer to the bakery.
Then he took the debit card.
- He left like that. - He's a smart criminal.
That's how he scammed me when I was right there.
We couldn't find him in the end...
regardless of all the surveillance cameras.
I shared this story...
on a different TV show before.
We couldn't find him at all. And a year had passed.
I reported this case to Bangbae Police Station.
But Gwangjin Police Station gave me a call after a year.
The police said, "Are you Lee Hyun Yi?"
I said yes. He asked if I was scammed before.
I said yes.
They sent me a photo of a guy to check if it was the same guy.
I told them that it was him.
He tried to scam some guy in Gwangjin-gu the same way...
he scammed me. But the owner of the restaurant...
knew it because he saw me sharing this story on TV.
That guy tried to scam him the same way.
So the owner called the police right away.
- That's how the police caught him. - Goodness. I just got goosebumps.
Did you get back your money?
No. They said that I can't get it back.
- You can't get it back? - There's no way to get it back.
It's like the movie, "Catch Me If You Can".
Goodness. He tried to take advantage...
of those people whose business wasn't doing well.
Anyway, we'll get rid of it for you.
- All right. Leviosa. - Leviosa.
I can't believe that such things actually happen.
- What is this? - What's that?
What's this photo?
- Whose photo is this? - Is this a ghost photo?
Jin Kyung wants to get rid of this photo she used...
for "Korea's Next Top Model" application.
I have to tell you this in advance.
When I was thinking of applying for this show,
I realized that I needed a photo for application.
I was only a ninth grader then.
I didn't even know that there were model academies.
I didn't even have proper outfits for a model photo shoot.
So I just wore a tank top...
and some underpants for my school uniform.
I thought those were tight enough to show my body.
You took that photo at home.
I asked my sister to take this photo.
But she didn't know much too.
She didn't know how to take nice photos,
and just took it like that.
Your body proportion doesn't look nice there.
Do you see the fluorescent light reflecting on the wardrobe?
It's reflecting on the wardrobe.
- It looks like a ghost photo. - Goodness.
Your face wouldn't look so bright if you have taken it at home.
- Goodness. - My gosh.
- I was happy. - You look scary there.
I was very happy then.
It looks like some poster for a Japanese ghost movie.
But I think she's cute.
It looks like a ghost movie poster.
She was such a baby then.
You didn't know how to take nice photos, but you made it.
- I know. I was very surprised. - You're born to be a model.
Those who will be models will be models.
The application photo taken at home doesn't even matter.
My sister still talks about this.
"You got to be a model because I took that photo."
- Do you want to get rid of this? - Yes, please.
This one looks nice, though.
- She's so cute there. - But she wants to get rid of it.
We'll get rid of it for you.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Lastly, it's Hyuk's turn. You want to get rid of this runway.
Which one is it?
I walked on this runway after drinking.
There are many shows that encourage models to drink before the show.
They make models drink some cocktail.
Let me tell you what happened.
It was a fun show for all the models.
They wanted the models to be more excited.
So they encouraged us to drink.
Did you get drunk?
But I'm not a good drinker. I can only drink about three shots.
- You're one of us. - You got drunk.
I got drunk.
So my eyes lost focus.
- Let's check out the video first. - Let's see it.
He's drunk!
I was enjoying the music already.
Look at the way he walks.
He's drunk.
Now that we listened to his story, he does seem drunk there.
- He's drunk. - But that's so cute.
That's a whole new walking style.
- But it still looks good. - A new walking style.
Look at me there.
I'm still enjoying the show.
(He's having so much fun even when he walks back in.)
He's dancing at the back.
He was dancing until he headed back in.
- I can tell that he was drunk... - He was drunk.
after listening to his story.
When I got backstage,
the designer told me that I was so drunk.
You had to control your drinking for shows like that.
Right.
Let me erase it for you.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
That's all for tonight for "The Model Entertainers".
(The Model Entertainers Special)
Please share how you feel.
We really had a great time here.
I'm grateful for the pleasant time we had today.
It's not easy for models to all gather up like this.
It was a great time for us...
to be on a variety show with fellow senior models.
I had fun.
- How about you, Hyuk? - I had this fantasy.
I'm the youngest one here.
It hasn't been long since I debuted as a model.
These fellow models are like my idols.
I had a great time with them.
I was here when I was carrying my first child.
Now you have me after giving birth to my second kid.
I feel like I'm deeply connected to Happy Together.
- Thank you for having me. - Thank you.
Irene did a good job today too.
- Irene! - I know.
(Irene stands up.)
I had so much fun.
Thank you so much.
Put your cheeks next to mine.
- Your cheeks. - All right.
Cheek kisses.
- Irene. - I had fun.
- I had so much fun. - Me too.
Irene's so funny.
- Goodness. - This is the funniest part.
"Irene, I'm so happy!"
- Irene. - I know.
Well done.
- Irene's so funny. - That was hilarious.
It was hilarious. I said "I'm so happy."
She went, "I know!"
- Great. - Yes.
We had fun with these six guests.
We'll see you next week.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
