The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
Hello.
- Hey. - Yes?
You look like the company commander in my unit.
"Is that so?"
You look just like him.
You know who I am, right?
- Yes, I do. - "No!"
- That was... - Was that him?
- That was terrible. - "No!"
- Do you know who I am? - He's Kim Won Hyo.
"How dare you show off with such an ugly face?"
- You don't have to frown. - Is that so?
- That wasn't necessary. - I exaggerated it.
You'd look like him without frowning.
- Are you sure? - Try it without frowning.
- "How dare..." Really? - That's better.
It's easy to tell who the three of us are.
But who are you, Yoon Hee?
- Can't you guess? - Who is it?
"Hail singles, curse couples."
- You never saw it, right? - That's right.
She kept asking me how to do it.
I watched it, but it was a long time ago.
Hyun Moo, you should've dressed as Kim Sook...
instead of Kim Joon Hyun. Don't you think?
I don't even need to dress up like her.
Isn't that Sook's photo?
(This is Hyun Moo, not Sook.)
Isn't that Sook?
I didn't mean to make myself look like her.
- On another show, - You tried it out.
I used an app and thought something was wrong.
- It looked similar. - As soon as I posted it,
Sook made a response.
She posted her photo, and it was unbelievable.
- I was so surprised. - She looks like you.
I looked just like that in a photo taken after...
- my military discharge. - You two look alike.
Anyway, there's a reason...
why we dressed like this today.
I think we won't need to do anything today.
- Of course. - They will lead the show.
Let's bring them out. Please come out!
"Gag Concert Together"! Come on!
You dressed as Okdongja.
Jeong Jong Chul, Oh Na Mi,
Hello.
- Kim Won Hyo, - Oh, my.
- Hello. - and Kim Joon Hyun.
- Hello. - My goodness.
(It premiered on September 4, 1999.)
(The cradle of the top entertainers)
(The power to make people laugh for 20 years!)
("Gag Concert")
(Episode 1,000)
To celebrate the 1,000th episode of "Gag Concert",
we invited the comedian Avengers.
It's "Gag Concert Together".
We'll introduce them one by one.
The legend of impersonation,
Okdongja, is back.
"How dare you show off with such an ugly face?"
He gave us a good laugh with just his presence.
KBS comedian Batch 15, Jeong Jong Chul!
(KBS comedian Batch 15, Jeong Jong Chul)
From the man of nature, he became the city man...
who is loved by his fans.
He established himself as a top star.
KBS comedian Batch 21, Lee Seung Yoon!
(KBS comedian Batch 21, Lee Seung Yoon)
He helps you regain your lost appetite.
He became the top star of all food shows.
KBS comedian Batch 22, Kim Joon Hyun!
(KBS comedian Batch 22, Kim Joon Hyun)
"Is that so?"
It's a special day today.
Why are you sweating when we just got started?
- KBS has good lighting. - My goodness.
He appears on TV shows and runs his own business.
"24 hours a day is not enough for me." "No rest."
KBS comedian Batch 22, Kim Won Hyo!
(KBS comedian Batch 22, Kim Won Hyo)
"No!"
I must get more air time than my wife did.
(I must get more air time than my wife did.)
She's irresistibly charming.
"Do not resist falling for me."
KBS comedienne Batch 23, Oh Na Mi!
(KBS comedienne Batch 23, Oh Na Mi)
"Don't do that."
Hello. I'm Oh Na Mi.
She's a pretty comedienne...
and a reporter of "Entertainment Weekly".
She's not afraid to make herself look ugly.
KBS comedienne Batch 29, Kim Seung Hye!
(KBS comedienne Batch 29, Kim Seung Hye)
Thank you. Here's my heart.
Without them,
"Gag Concert" wouldn't have lasted so long.
Let's give them a round of applause.
(Congratulations on the 1,000th episode.)
- Great job. - Good job.
It's amazing that it lasted 1,000 episodes.
Exactly.
Jong Chul was the leading force for its success.
- That's right. - Right.
You must've felt overwhelmed.
It lasted 1,000 episodes,
- so it's been 20 years. - It's been 20 years.
- Also, I had a chance... - That's amazing.
to play in the segments of the show...
that have been popular in the past 20 years.
I felt so honored to be on the show.
(He was happy to be with them on the show.)
I felt like I was visiting my home.
- I see. - It felt like Chuseok.
- As if my whole family... - After a long time?
- gathered after a while. - I see.
That's how I felt while performing.
He played in the most comedy skits.
- He played in a lot. - Four comedy skits.
My junior comedians were amazed by that.
But in fact, I didn't have a lot of lines.
Mostly, you imitated different sounds.
In every comedy skit I played in, my lines...
What lines did you have?
(Scene 1: Jong Chul imitates instruments.)
Things like that.
- Like that? - Yes.
I didn't have a lot of lines to memorize.
While watching the 1,000th episode, Joon Hyun...
Is it true that you were upset while watching it?
- Why? - Why?
This might sound silly,
but I looked too fat.
I looked too fat.
But you have always looked like that.
That's why I said it might sound silly.
You looked just as you always do.
- Did I? - Yes.
I'll tell you what happened.
I came to Yeouido after a long time,
so the food I used to eat came to my mind.
Right. The restaurants you used to go to.
I started with seaweed soup with dried pollack.
- It had been a long time. - Exactly.
And then I found bean sprouts hangover soup.
I didn't eat much rice, though.
I found a new buckwheat noodles restaurant too.
(I can't miss it.)
So I ate some of it too. After that,
I went to a sauna to make myself look my best.
I went into the cold and hot bath and sauna.
I looked great after that. And I took a two-hour nap.
But taking a nap was a big mistake.
My face and body swelled due to osmotic pressure.
Osmotic pressure. That's right.
You ate salty food and soaked your body in water.
I didn't think of it.
I thought I could just draw off the sweat.
When I performed on the stage,
I couldn't even open my eyes or see ahead.
- Was it that bad? - Your eyes were swollen?
- I was a mess. - What's the difference?
This is "Emergency Committee".
(I wish I had never seen it.)
I ruined it. It was a mess.
(His face...)
(was swollen even more than his body.)
After seeing it now...
(Osmotic pressure in full effect)
Did you put something on your face?
You looked different from you do now.
We can at least see his eyes today.
- This morning, - That video...
I was excited to come on Happy Together.
I woke up early and was about to eat breakfast,
but I remembered what happened that day.
So I went to a sauna without eating.
I ate after that.
I must say, osmotic pressure is scary.
- Exactly. - That's unbelievable.
When we rehearsed at 10am that day,
he zipped up the costume all by himself.
But he asked me to zip up for him in the evening.
- Was it that bad? - Yes.
- In such a short time? - It was at the back.
He asked me to zip him up.
That's crazy.
I performed with Won Hyo after a long time.
It was great that I made great teamwork...
once again Won Hyo and Song Byeong Cheol.
When we gave each other a high five,
I felt a shudder after a long time.
Everything else was perfect but the costume.
(This was the fly in the ointment.)
Seung Yoon, it was your first appearance...
since "Last Health Boy", right?
He appeared in "Bitter Life".
I was on "Gag Concert" for over 10 years.
That's right.
Just as Jong Chul said,
I, too, felt like I went back home.
It was so fun to work with everyone once again.
Even after the show ended,
I couldn't shake off this lingering feeling,
so I stood in front of the station for an hour.
(He stood in front of the station for an hour.)
- What did you do there? - I was standing there.
- Really? - In front of the station?
I couldn't leave because of the lingering feeling.
Really?
I stood there quietly for an hour before leaving.
No one left right after they finished performing.
They could go home since we didn't have plans...
- after the recording. - Right.
But everyone walked around the studio instead.
- That's right. - It had been a while.
People naturally gather for a drink.
It was as if every one of us was waiting...
to be called by the others.
It made me feel emotional too.
Lately, I've been enjoying watching...
Jong Chul's "Homemaker Ok".
It's very popular on social media.
- That's right. - Indeed.
It shows your daily routine, right?
Yes. This is how a homemaker's day is.
- I wake up at 7am. - You wake up early.
I wake up at 7am.
I wash the rice and make breakfast.
My children leave for school by 8:30am.
Then I start cleaning and doing dishes.
It's around 11am when I finish it.
Since I worked, I crave sweets.
So I drink coffee between 11am and 11:30am.
- It's so good. - Of course.
- That's common. - I get goosebumps here.
All the way down here.
He enjoys a short tea break.
- It's the coffee. - After cleaning my house,
I take a picture of it.
- I post it and write, - You post the picture.
"Everyone, I'm sure you're all feeling the same way."
Then people leave a lot of comments.
I like reading their comments...
because there's no one to talk to.
So I chat with them via online comments.
My kids come home...
- after 1:40pm. - It makes time pass fast.
I should hurry. I have to take a nap.
- You should. - I need a nap,
so I can stay energetic when my kids come home.
- My kids come home. - That's a great tip.
I make some snacks for them.
Time goes by while I do some house chores.
- He's so busy. - I should make dinner.
It's not over even after dinner.
I wash the dishes after having dinner.
House chores are such hard work.
When I finish doing the dishes,
I help the kids with their homework.
I ask if they did their homework,
and that's when the war begins.
Their eyes sparkle when they play...
like soldiers in a special forces unit.
But they start crying when I ask about homework.
(They cry when they hear the word, "homework".)
Housewives go through so much.
- Raising a child is hard. - It's hard.
I help them finish it and make them go to bed.
Then I prepare for tomorrow's breakfast.
- My goodness. - After that,
the children go to bed...
and my time begins.
At 11pm, I feel like I am free.
That's the time.
Now that I am a househusband...
They say children are the cutest...
when they are asleep, right?
I really agree with those words.
The chores you need to do in a day...
- are exhausting. - It gets really hard.
We need to give a big hand to the housewives.
- He is really good. - I know.
One time, a conversation I had...
with my male friends...
- left me angry. - Why?
Here's why.
"What does your wife do?"
"She lazes around."
"She is a housewife."
Those words made me angry.
(Angry)
"A housewife doesn't laze around!"
That's right.
She works from morning to night.
That's a refreshing comment.
- I know. - So you got angry.
They say that because they don't know.
I got really angry.
The back of my neck still feels tight...
- from anger. - He talks like my mom.
- My muscles hardened. - My goodness.
You should be a panelist at "AM Plaza".
- I am sorry. - The ambiance is like...
that of a morning program.
A morning program.
He should really star on "AM Plaza".
How did you go from a popular comedian...
to a househusband?
Seriously. How did that happen?
Back in the days,
- I was a manly man. - You had your hobbies.
I thought a man should be the breadwinner.
When he used to go fishing with me,
he said, "Buy a boat if this is your hobby."
- He told me the same. - He was really absorbed.
When I went freelance, he told me to buy a boat.
"Buy a boat."
He told everyone to buy a boat.
- Hold on. - He told me...
to buy a boat.
I am not a fisherman. Why would I do that?
I even looked into it because of him.
"Can I dock a boat at Banpo?"
Some people dock a yacht there,
- so... - It's really expensive.
- You were pretentious. - I guess I was.
How did you change so much?
I made my wife suffer a lot.
I didn't think about what she wants...
and what kind of situation she is in.
I mostly stayed outside.
Because of that, my wife and I fought.
- We fought a lot. - I see.
After that,
I realized that she needs me.
I stopped everything I was involved in.
You stopped your hobbies and work.
I stopped all my hobbies and work.
I stayed at home.
I didn't know what to do at first.
In retrospect, I am glad I asked her this question.
What did you ask her?
"What should we have tomorrow?"
She said, "That is too heavy."
"I want to have this."
I remembered what she said,
went grocery shopping the next day,
and made that dish.
I didn't know anything about women's hearts.
When I cooked for my wife,
she became very happy.
(He saw her happy.)
I thought, "I guess she really wanted this."
But after a while, I realized it.
"This man remembered what I said yesterday."
- That makes her happy. - That's right.
That was how Homemaker Ok came to be.
Since then, you and your wife began to have...
- more conversations. - I love it.
Are you doing a good job?
I am doing a good job.
Household chores should be done together.
I do them whenever I have time,
- but I make a show of it. - You do that every time.
I need my wife to know that...
I do the chores.
When I do the dishes,
I leave behind a bowl...
and wait until my wife comes home.
When she comes, I go and wash it.
(He does the dishes passionately.)
"You are home."
I get water on the T-shirt.
- I wear a gray T-shirt. - That's good.
- It's important. - That's right.
It's important to make a show.
I do those chores anyway. It should be shown.
Joon Hyun, you are popular...
at restaurants these days, right?
- Yes. - You are on that show.
- "Tasty Guys". - That's right.
- You are popular there. - They're too kind.
I get free food.
- You get free food. - It makes me happy...
and stressed out.
- Why? - Why?
When I am at a restaurant in a group of two.
I order enough food for 3 or 4 people.
If I'm am at a Chinese restaurant,
I order jjajangmyeon, jjamppong,
tangsuyuk, and jjamppong rice...
so that we can share.
- For two people, - That's a lot of food.
that's a lot of food.
- I feel full already. - What do you order?
I told you that I order four dishes.
There are too many dishes I want to eat,
so eat a bit of each.
If I order four dishes for me and my manager,
it's perfect.
But the restaurant always gives free food.
They always give it towards the end.
- That's right. - You have to eat it.
I can leave behind the dishes I ordered,
- but not free food. - That's right.
I do get full when I eat a lot.
If I were the owner of a restaurant,
I would watch you after I give free food.
Gosh. They really do that.
- Right? - They really do that.
They give me free food and go,
"Please enjoy it."
Then they take a peek.
(Taking a peek)
(Is he enjoying his food?)
It's like a cartoon.
(Taking a peek in a cute way)
If Joon Hyun eats with gusto,
they will be proud of their food.
I starred on the show as a guest.
You have never heard such a thing before.
They told me that I am tiny.
(This is based on their actual size.)
They saw me eat and said,
"Why are you picking on your food?"
They asked why I was picking on my food.
Se Yoon said that to me.
It was the first time you heard that.
- It felt strange. - I see.
Joon Hyun, people expect much from you...
since you have an image of a big eater, but they...
- misunderstand you too. - What is it about?
When I leave food behind, people think,
"The dishes must taste bad."
People never think I am full.
That's right.
"There is no way he is full."
They really think that.
It can't be helped...
because I have eaten that way for years.
- I have a question. - Yes?
Is there food...
you can't eat or dislike?
- It's a good question. - I have received...
that question so many times at interviews...
that I thought hard about it.
Did you have to think hard about it?
- Seriously. - It's understandable.
Since people asked that question so many times.
I don't have such food yet.
- Fermented skate. - Really?
The more fermented, the better it is.
Do you eat seasoned vegetables?
- I love them. - Really?
How about greens?
- Salad. - I like it, too.
How about smelly foreign dishes...
- like stinky tofu? - There must be something.
It's hard to eat...
- stinky tofu, - It really is.
- but I can still eat it. - It's tasty.
How about fish head curry?
- Gosh. That one. - I saw it on TV.
I don't think I can eat it.
(It's an awkward win.)
I don't think I can eat it.
Seung Yoon ate it on TV.
I can't eat some dishes that were on that show.
I don't need to try them to know that.
Was it Yoon Taek?
He ate a camel cricket think it was a cricket.
A camel cricket?
He thought it was a regular cricket.
Yoon Taek thought...
it tasted nuttier than a regular cricket.
Someone looked it up the next day.
It was a camel cricket.
- A camel cricket. - Yoon Taek ate that.
I ate fish head curry.
As many of you know,
I also ate the raw liver of a water deer.
- My goodness. - Right.
- My goodness. - How did you eat that?
There was a stew with rocks.
- A stew with rocks. - Right.
Frog and doenjang stew.
I have never seen a show blur out food.
Seriously.
Food is usually enjoyed on a show.
(In place of tasty-looking food...)
Instead, it was blurred out.
(Disgusted)
He looked like he was eating poison.
"This is the last day."
The way he looked at the fishhead curry...
is still a meme.
(The legendary meme)
Seung Yoon, you work hard to meet expectations.
"I'm Living with Nature"...
- has many reruns. - That's right.
When I turn on the TV,
that show is always on 1 or 2 channels.
The elders think I am always in the mountains.
- That's right. - Right.
They think I live in the mountains.
So when I appear in the city...
Appear in the city?
Let's say I am eating steak at a restaurant.
The elders go, "Do you eat steak too?"
They say that.
I would just say yes.
I was at the gym when an elder came over.
"Why did you climb down the mountain?"
"Why are you wearing modern clothes?"
"Shouldn't you be wearing a hanbok?"
They think I am the one who is living with nature.
When they see me in the city...
- It ruins the image. - Yes.
- They get disappointed. - It ruins the image.
- The show may seem fake. - That's right.
There is another problem.
(Another funny and sad problem)
Because they see me often, they think I'm a friend.
- They think I'm a friend. - That's right.
I was walking down the street...
when an elder slapped my arm.
"How could you do that?"
"What?"
"How could you not say hello to me?"
I had never seen him before.
"I see you every day. Say hello to me."
"I am so upset at you, Seung Yoon."
You were in the wrong.
"I am sorry."
"I didn't see you." That's what happened.
Even a lot of teenagers know you now.
That's right. I don't know if I should say this.
Among the elders,
- I am like BTS. - My goodness.
He is like an idol singer to them.
Let's say I am at a rest stop.
- Then hikers... - Do they go wild?
come in buses, right?
When I walk out,
they go wild.
- How popular are you? - "Which mountain?"
They gather around me and touch me.
"Is your chest really muscular?"
(The elders' BTS gets welcomed with hands.)
I don't know if it's a rumor.
I heard that you bought a mountain.
My goodness.
- Did you buy a mountain? - That's what I heard.
Will you use it as a studio?
He bought a mountain...
so people can move in...
- for the show. - Right.
Instead of visiting people who live with nature,
- you will have them come. - You will have them come.
"Let's film this at my mountain."
It's hilarious.
Most real estate agents make offers...
about apartments and such.
They tell me, "There is a good mountain."
"Would you be interested in this great mountain?"
They made those recommendations,
but I didn't buy anything.
Seung Yoon,
you arranged your schedule for this shoot.
"I'm Living with Nature" was moved back.
Today is the day I have a shoot.
I begged the cast to be...
on Happy Together.
It has been postponed for the next day.
- You are going tomorrow. - Yes. It'll be tomorrow.
A lot of people think...
the men of nature adjust their schedule to mine.
It's not true. It's the other way around.
Are men of nature only available...
on the weekends?
Since they are self-sufficient,
- they are very busy. - Do they work all week?
That's right. They could have...
important things planned for the shoot.
They might need to dry medicinal herbs.
- It can't be postponed. - I know.
Not only that,
they need to be ready for my visit.
They aren't used to being on TV.
- They need to be ready. - That's right.
If they give me a time, I adjust to that schedule.
Isn't the schedule fixed?
- It's very flexible. - I see.
I am so surprised right now.
- Seung Yoon. - Yes?
I had no idea you could be so funny.
(I had no idea you could be so funny.)
I am on "Omniscient Interfering View"...
- with him every week. - Yes.
On that show, he talks on and on.
That's right.
(There he goes again.)
(Every time he opens his mouth, )
They did it to sell me sneakers.
(the sweet potato computer graphics came.)
(Can't you just answer the question?)
I have a way with words.
You don't show it on that show.
- On a variety show... - Don't you like MBC?
Gosh, what are you saying?
- You like KBS, right? - You don't like Yeong Ja.
(You don't like Yeong Ja.)
(He shows an awkward smile.)
Don't be so flustered.
You should have said something...
so that Yeong Ja doesn't misunderstand.
Seriously.
He is suddenly sweating.
Seung Yoon has a way with words.
- You are so funny here. - I am good at talking.
- That's right. - I say that...
- because... - I am getting goosebumps.
I did a good job...
- on "Radio Star" too. - Your talking is great.
He and I had a shoot yesterday.
He got scolded for talking on and on.
I see.
- He is so funny. - I can explain.
- On each program, - That's right.
I need to have a unique character.
He is like Seung Yoon's twin.
I need to have a unique character,
so I act differently on each program.
That way, people don't get bored.
That's why I am a pitta.
Seung Yoon's handsome manager is...
- very popular. - That's right.
- It's Hyun Seok. - Right.
Is he here today?
- Yes, he is over there. - I see him.
There he is.
- Hello. - He is popular.
- He is handsome. - Hyun Seok is...
an important person in my life.
There are two best decisions of my life.
- What are they? - Meeting my wife.
Meeting my manager.
Isn't there another one?
My popularity rose thanks to him,
but his popularity skyrocketed.
One day, I was having an interview.
He went to the restroom and failed to come back.
Wondering where he is, I went outside.
He was surrounded by those who wanted a picture.
- My goodness. - Most of the times,
the manager goes, "Excuse me,"
and takes the celebrity. When I saw that,
I walked over and went, "Excuse me."
I dragged my manager out.
In the middle of that fiasco,
I even took a picture for one fan.
Before he was your manager,
- he was a salesperson... - Right.
for a popular sports brand.
He was at the branch I frequented.
He was well-known among comedians.
Na Mi, did you know him?
Yes. There is Times Square at Yeongdeungpo.
At a Nike branch...
- Was he a salesperson? - Yes.
- He was really good. - He was really good.
He had a face...
that made you take another look.
He was already famous in that field.
I heard comediennes loved him.
Comediennes took turns to visit the store.
Did they visit the store to see Hyun Seok?
Seeing him was one of the reasons.
That can happen.
Then I heard he was going to quit.
We thought, "Did we visit too often?"
Why would you think that?
Then one day, I saw him with Seung Yoon.
How did he become your manager?
My wife and I had a fight.
"Do something about your sneakers."
I said, "This is my hobby."
"Can't you be more understanding?"
She threw two pairs to the floor.
She threw two more pairs.
"What are you doing?" I looked...
and there were two pairs...
of the same sneakers.
I thought hard about what I had done.
- "Why did I buy..." - Seriously.
- "the same sneakers?" - Why did you do that?
"I know I love sneakers."
"But who sold these sneakers to me?"
"Kang Hyun Seok. He is impressive."
- "He has talent." - I thought,
"He is a great salesperson."
You didn't think, "Am I stupid?"
No, I didn't. I didn't think that.
That's why you hired him. That's good.
I thought it would be nice to work with him.
He and I were close.
I am curious. How did he sell sneakers?
- I know. - How did he do that?
I heard you bought 100 pairs of sneakers.
Let me tell you.
I visited the store very frequently.
I realized something at one point.
Whenever I visited, other employees talked...
on the walkie-talkie.
"Lee Seung Yoon is here. Lee Seung Yoon is here."
They really did that.
"The pushover is here. The pushover is here."
"The comedian pushover is here."
"Bring the same pair he bought the last time."
You know what it is. "Lee Seung Yoon is here."
Hyun Seok used a foreign name there.
- That's right. - He was called Brown.
I didn't know.
"Lee Seung Yoon is here, Brown. Brown."
(Find Agent Brown.)
I didn't know.
- My goodness. - Hold on.
Did you save up stories for Happy Together?
- It seems so. - Each story is great.
- He is good. - Seriously.
Whenever that happened, Hyun Seok came...
- in the middle of a meal. - Really?
"You came."
He didn't treat me like a customer,
- but a family member. - Yes.
"Seung Yoon, how have you been?"
"You look tired."
He would talk with me.
After a lengthy conversation,
I would have sneakers in my hand.
- That's exactly right. - You know,
most salespeople do...
- the same thing. - His stories are so nice.
- You should learn. - "These sneakers..."
"are good in these ways."
Then I wouldn't have bought them.
But he worried about me and talked with me.
You had no time to think about the purchase.
I would be holding sneakers at the end.
"I will get going now." I shopped that way.
He opened up his heart...
and listened to the customers.
- There is another story. - Tell us.
When it was my child's first birthday,
he prepared a gift. A child's sneakers.
"Your child is a year old. I saw it on your SNS."
The sneakers were really pretty.
"They are so pretty." On the display was...
the adult version of the sneakers.
"They are so pretty."
He had to buy the adult version.
"They are so pretty. They are so pretty."
"Thank you." Then I saw the adult version.
I bought it right away.
Whom do you hate, me or Yeong Ja?
Tell me. There's something going on.
Hyun Seok is happy to see you do well...
- with his stories. - I know.
Where is Hyun Seok? Hey, Hyun Seok.
- Hey. - He is happy...
because Seung Yoon is doing...
- a good job. - Isn't this the first?
That's right.
He has never seen Seung Yoon do so well.
Hyun Seok is close to shedding tears.
- He was very worried. - He must have been.
As Hyun Seok helped Seung Yoon,
Jae Seok helped Na Mi.
- I helped you? - Yes.
- You might not remember. - What did I do?
There was the Lonely Friend Special.
- "Infinite Challenge". - That's right.
With Kim Ji Min...
- and Park So Young, - That's right.
I starred on it.
- We had meetings... - That's right.
- at a cafe. - And...
after the shoot, Jae Seok told me...
to wait for a second.
He gave us 300 dollars...
and told us to eat together.
We were nobodies.
We were nothing compared to Jae Seok.
He gave us 300 dollars for a meal.
I was so thankful.
"We can't have a meal this way."
So we shared 100 dollars each.
- Good job. - We couldn't have a meal.
It was good for them to split the money.
"Let's have 100 dollars each."
But I couldn't use that money.
I put it in a white envelope.
I felt like the money...
- would act as a talisman. - With good energy.
- With good energy. - That's right.
- Do you still have it? - Yes.
- Really? - I still have it.
Seung Hye, you are constantly in love...
because of "Entertainment Weekly".
Because I have interviews every week,
I meet up with actors and idol singers often.
I would think, "I have to be professional."
"I can't fall in love."
But I fall in love and break up by myself.
After a week, I meet another actor.
Again, I fall in love and break up by myself.
Whom did you meet?
I recently met Kang Ha Neul.
Gosh, I love him!
- Really? - Yes.
We did the thigh wrestling.
He didn't say, "See you again."
Instead, he said, "Seung Hye, let's do..."
"the thigh wrestling again next time."
- I want to do it too. - Why would he...
ask me to do the thigh wrestling again?
- That's crazy. - I misunderstood him.
It's understandable to misunderstand him.
- He was... - I called my friend.
He could just say, "See you."
- Right. Right. - It meant something else.
I told my friends that he might have fallen for me.
I told my friends.
I once met Cha Eun Woo.
I told him he was great,
and I asked him to say his famous line.
He could've just said it to the camera.
But he suddenly grabbed my arm and said,
"Can't I like you?"
He could've just said it.
Why did he grab my arm?
He was just into it.
- But seriously. - I think...
I think Seung Hye...
- was too into her job. - You were too into it.
But seriously.
In the beginning of the shoot,
Sae Ho greeted me with his eyes.
Perhaps he's into me.
(Is he into her?)
- Seung Hye is... - There's a possibility.
Seung Hye is...
I was trying to hide it, but I am busted.
Is that right?
But do you actually find him attractive as a man?
(Is Sae Ho actually good as a man?)
- He's very attractive. - Is he?
I am very impatient.
Really?
(He gives her a glance.)
Sae Ho got hurt many times.
He's actually very lonely.
In the past, there was a guest.
She said I was her type. But after the shoot,
she hurriedly left.
It's true.
She nearly fell.
She nearly fell while running.
Right? Right?
She nearly did.
She nearly fell.
She almost did this.
(He jumps over the brazier.)
- She really did. - She left her cosmetics.
- She left her cosmetics. - She nearly fell.
- "Your cosmetics." - "I don't need it."
(I don't need it.)
She nearly fell.
Seung Hye, I am curious.
Perhaps if Sae Ho says, "Let's leave together,"
you will say, "Are you mad?"
"Watch your mouth."
"I said it only to be funny."
"Seung Hye! Seung Hye!"
(We hope this won't actually happen.)
"What's wrong with her?"
"She said..."
She might do this. "Isn't Jae Seok so naive?"
(She might say it while walking out.)
She might say it while walking out.
"Hyun Moo and Jae Seok are both so naive."
"Bye."
That's really funny.
Jong Chul seems very friendly.
But there's a rumor that younger comedians...
used to be too scared to look at him in the eyes.
We mentioned it briefly a while ago.
I have no idea where that came from.
- Is it true? - I think...
he's not scary.
- Right? - He doesn't yell at us.
But he was just a too big of a star for us.
He was Okdongja.
- You were intimidated. - Right.
I am sorry for this, but...
We had never seen someone who looks like him.
Right.
The strangeness of his face scared everyone.
Think carefully, everyone.
Think about when you saw him for the first time.
He wasn't scary. He was difficult to approach.
He was different and difficult.
- He was different. - He was different.
To comedians, he was a top star.
- Right. - Right.
I heard something.
Whenever I talked,
everyone did this.
(Whenever he talked, everyone looked down.)
I hadn't done anything to threaten them.
And yet they all had dropped their heads.
But someone told me. They were simply...
trying to hold in their laughter.
Right. Right.
They were trying not to laugh.
They weren't scared.
They were trying to avoid seeing your face.
They were trying to avoid seeing my face.
It's like this.
We used to say, "Don't look. You'll burst."
That's why we always kept our heads down.
(Laughter mine warning)
Whenever he talked...
"Don't look. Don't look."
You might burst into laughter.
When you laugh there, it becomes awkward.
There is a legend in the comedy scene.
There's a rumor that you passed...
the comedian exam as soon as...
you walked into the audition room.
There's such a legend.
- That's not true. - Is it not true?
- It's not true. - Isn't that Hwi Soon?
That's just slander.
I showed my talent.
And I became a comedian with that.
It was another person who passed without trying.
Who is it?
(It's other people who got the free pass.)
(Who are they?)
It was Oh Ji Heon.
I passed with my talent.
I'm different from people like...
- Ji Heon and Jung Tae. - Oh Jung Tae.
But people keep associating me with them.
What have Ji Heon and Jung Tae done wrong?
Ji Heon, Jung Tae, and Hwi Soon.
As soon Ji Heon entered the room while smiling...
with his gum showing, he passed.
That's what happened.
Now this is what happened to Jung Tae.
There was a cherry blossom festival at MBC.
He's originally from Gwangju.
He came from Gwangju to see the cherry blossom.
He was passing by Yeouido.
He was enjoying looking at the cherry blossoms.
Accidentally, the director of variety shows of MBC...
- This is a stretch. - saw him and passed him.
Pass!
From the third floor?
- Hey. - That's how it happened.
How can he pass without the test?
- From the third floor. - I...
You passed with your talent.
- They... - Unlike those two.
How can he say that to a passerby?
I didn't pass with my face.
I passed with my talent.
When she passed,
- I told her something. - What did you say?
So you are the one of this batch.
My gosh.
There's a pedigree.
I am from Batch 15.
Kim Young Chul is from Batch 14.
My goodness. He's a strong character.
- Young Chul is gentle. - Right.
He's really gentle to everyone.
- He's a really good man. - He's a good man.
- I hate Young Chul. - Why?
He bullied me a lot.
- Did he? - Did he?
He bullied me for no reason.
- Really? - Was he threatened?
I was from Batch 15. I was in the next batch.
I couldn't understand it.
I came in later than him,
but he could've embraced me and encouraged me.
I couldn't understand him.
I thought I'd treat people from the next batch well.
But I hated the sight of Ji Heon.
(He hated Ji Heon.)
When he entered,
(Even the hatred is passed down.)
I really resented him.
You realized it when you were in his position.
He was just sitting down, and I wanted to hit him.
(He looked hateful when he was just sitting down.)
I wanted to knuckle him on the head.
That's when I sympathized with Young Chul.
(He got to sympathize with Young Chul.)
- Right. - There was that.
Jong Chul.
You had to submit a script for the first test.
And your script was very unique.
Yes. I thought it would be...
be boring if I wrote it plainly.
- For example, "Dog bark". - "Dog bark".
- That's your talent. - "Tetris music".
"The sound of synthesizer".
It was going to be boring if I wrote those.
- So in the script... - What did you write?
(Tetris music melody)
That meant you could make the sounds.
Right.
Right. I wrote that.
I even proofread it.
(He said it first...)
(and then wrote it down.)
I had to write it precisely.
- By the way, - Today, Jong Chul is...
Okdongja is...
By the way, since Jong Chul is here...
He's the first one to do this.
He makes us wonder how he thought of these.
- Exactly. - Let's ask him to do it.
(Let's hear it.)
I want to hear you impersonating a principal.
The first one is the punch machine.
When you go to Incheon, you sometimes see...
- Wolmido. - Right. Wolmido.
- They have old machines. - They do.
When you insert a coin, it plays music.
(Open your mouth. Here comes a coin.)
(The punch machine is on.)
You wrote this in the script, right?
Yes. I wrote everything.
(Punch machine music)
The pad is raised.
(It must've been a strong punch.)
Bravo champion
Right. Right.
(He is as great as we expected.)
What else?
Next is the original music for "Tetris".
(2. Tetris)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E35 Happy Together S4 "Gag Concert Together Special" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(The game becomes more intense.)
(Clean ending)
- Great detail. - Then it got upgraded.
And I did beatboxing.
These days, people don't like these beats.
- Right. - When you go to a club,
they play electronic dance music.
- You know. - EDM...
is just a repetition. It's much easier to do.
How does it go?
Just say "dough". Repeat after me.
- Dough. - Dough.
Just keep repeating it in the right tempo.
Repeat this and dough.
- Dough. - It becomes like this.
(No way.)
(Dance to the rhythm.)
(Club Ok is open.)
(It's chilling and thrilling.)
(This is how you hear it in the elevator.)
- And you go inside. - My goodness.
They went in.
(They reentered the club.)
They went in.
Bravo!
(That's a crazy beat.)
(I am Okdongja.)
Okdongja.
- He's amazing. - He is the best.
- He's the best. - He really is.
Seung Yoon, I heard you run a lot of...
errands for younger comedians.
- He's a good person. - Right.
- It's like this. - It was really funny.
You lost during a martial arts match.
When someone asks you how you feel, you would...
normally say, "I did my best." While bleeding,
he said, "Don't you have an elder brother?"
"Don't you have an elder brother at home?"
"How dare you beat me up like a dog?"
He said that during the interview?
He was 10 years younger than me.
- He was 10 years younger. - He got beaten too much.
- I said that. - He got beaten too much.
- He beat me up very hard. - Right.
His arm was raised, and I went down.
And suddenly someone held up a mic.
My emotion wasn't filtered then.
- It's like this. - You were upset.
- It happened suddenly. - You were upset.
I was in pain, and I was upset.
When the person asked, "How are you feeling?"
I yelled, "Don't you have a brother at home?"
(His words were unfiltered.)
(He was very upset.)
(I was beaten like a bleeding dog.)
(He was 100 percent honest.)
I shouldn't laugh about it, but when he was hit,
the referee came and asked him if he was okay.
Usually, people say that they are fine.
But he said he wasn't fine.
- It hurt too much. - He was hurt.
He said he wasn't okay.
I could feel that my nose was broken.
It felt like it was broken.
Whenever I moved, it rattled.
- I could feel it. - That must have hurt.
- He is... - I knew...
Why were you like that yesterday?
- Look. - He wasn't this good.
I knew it was going to be shattered...
if he hit it once again.
I had to protect myself.
But he came towards me eyeing on my nose.
(He spotted his target.)
I...
(He's dumbfounded by Seung Yoon talking.)
You look for the spot to hit.
- Right. - He scanned my body.
And he kept staring at my nose.
Doing this, he just stared at my nose.
I was scared.
I was bleeding a lot.
Fortunately, the referee came up and stopped it.
- To clean up the blood. - He called for a doctor.
The doctor said it was fractured.
I was glad to hear it.
But there were cameras,
and many fellow comedians were watching.
He asked me if I could continue to fight.
In that situation, people would insist to continue.
That's what I wanted in my mind.
I knew that was going to make me look good.
- But... - "Can you still fight?"
"Can you fight?"
"I'll fight."
"Will you fight?"
"I'll fight."
You were forced to fight.
You are a humane fighter.
The problem was this. Comedians are naughty.
(The problem happened after that.)
The comedy writers have recorded our heights.
There's Joon Hyun's height...
and Won Hyo's height.
But your height changes in different situations.
Let's say this is my height.
There's a mark here.
But this is how small I get when I get scolded.
- They have marked those. - That's witty.
All comedians mark their heights.
My height was here.
But one day I saw a line in the very bottom.
- What's that? - There was an annotation.
I went near it and looked at it.
"Seung Yoon's height when he was lying down..."
"with a fractured nose".
(Seung Yoon's height when he was lying down...)
(with a fractured nose)
It was down here.
(They instantly made fun of him.)
Everyone asked me to lie down.
That's when people started to make fun of me.
Before he got...
brutally beaten up,
"Brutally beaten up".
- That's... - That's perfect.
It is.
Let's call it "That day".
He used to stand tall before that day.
He continued to stand tall after that day.
And we thought that wasn't right.
So we told him, "Be careful, brother."
He used to treat us to snacks a lot.
But since then, he became one of us.
It was like this.
Before then, the younger comedians...
were uncomfortable around me.
But after that day...
"Seung Yoon, I'm thirsty."
"Can you go and get me some coffee?"
They became comfortable with you.
I couldn't get angry.
- If I get angry... - They...
They saw everything.
I couldn't put on a straight face either.
So I thought of this.
"Right. Why does a younger one have to always do it?"
"I can do it although I am older."
So I made him coffee.
Then Joon Hyun told me, "The prop is heavy."
"Bring it here."
"Right. I am very strong."
"I should be the one to carry the prop."
Wait.
He justified himself.
And when I said,
"Guys, isn't that funny?"
"Please keep it down. They are practicing."
"I shouldn't be loud when they're practicing."
"I will keep it down."
You turned into a servant.
What happened?
Everything you say is funny.
That's why...
I kept losing my position.
In the end, I was treated like the ones...
- from Batch 23. - Right.
That's how...
comedians play.
Stop talking, Seung Yoon.
I think you've talked enough.
He's worried that my mouth would hurt.
I should stop talking then.
- "I should stop talking." - You should stop.
Turn it into a sketch.
- I know. - Perhaps...
after the shoot, his manager will say,
"Seung Yoon, can you drive?"
Let's turn it into a sketch.
- It's fun. - It's a fun idea.
- It's fun. - Make a sketch.
- I justify myself. - Right.
- I think it would be fun. - That's right.
Won Hyo doesn't act like...
he's from one of the lower batches.
- He's slow-witted. - Is he?
- I... - Yes.
The more experienced comedians teach you.
But more often they ask for your opinions.
- They ask how it is. - Right.
"What do you think about my idea?"
The younger comedian is supposed to say,
"It's fun. Why don't we do it together?"
Kim Dae Hee once asked me that question.
(Dae Hee was asking for his opinion.)
He's much more experienced than me.
"Won Hyo, do you like my idea? Is it fun?"
I said,
"So-so."
(A shocking comment)
With that attitude?
- That's... - Did you really say that?
That sounds so offensive.
"So-so."
"So-so" isn't a bad word.
It's not. It means it's just all right.
It's okay when you're 5 to 6 years into your career.
Now, when Dae Hee asks something to me,
I can say, "It's just all right."
But he was a rookie, but he said, "So-so."
We were trembling with fear.
We are talking about "Gag Concert".
What was the favorite character you played?
Jong Chul is known as Okdongja,
Mapaki, and many more.
What's your favorite character?
- It has to be Okdongja. - Right.
- Right. - Mapaki was funny.
But Okdongja...
- shaped me. - It represents you.
My last name is Jeong, but people think it's Ok.
To me, it's a special character.
Did you perform at six events a day?
At the time, I put on the Okdongja wig...
and went around the nation.
Starting from the furthest end of Busan,
- I just made my way up. - What did you do?
I went to up to six events a day.
I was so popular at the time.
Won Bin was my friend.
- Really? - He came to my house.
- Really? - Really?
- You're the same age. - Right.
- Right. - He's the same age as us.
We used to play a soccer game together.
(He used to play games with Won Bin at home.)
At the time, Won Bin was a nobody.
Do you still talk to him?
No. That's when...
he wasn't working after "Autumn in My Heart".
I was busy being Okdongja.
It was then. So I used to buy him snacks.
You bought Won Bin snacks.
Then I shot a movie.
I told him I was shooting a movie.
He said, "Which movie?"
"Which movie are you shooting?"
"Galgalri Family and Dracula".
It was my first film.
When I was shooting that film,
he said he was shooting a film too.
I asked, "Which one?"
He said "Taegukgi".
(That was a blockbuster hit.)
- That's another level. - "Wave that flag."
"Wave that flag."
(The title meant Korean flag after all.)
- "Wave that flag." - "Do your best."
"Wave that flag."
After "Taegukgi"...
he became a little distant.
We didn't talk for a long time.
One day, he asked to meet up.
He said he was shooting another film.
I asked which film he was shooting.
It was "The Man from Nowhere".
So I said, "Oh, 'The Man from Nowhere'."
- That's the end. - Later...
After that, we became men from nowhere.
You became the man he used to know.
- We became strangers. - That's so fun.
That was well said.
- He first waved the flag. - We became strangers.
We became complete strangers.
He came back after a long time.
Can you say all your catchphrases?
- Now? - Yes.
Let's give it up for him.
(They are excited.)
- He's got a lot. - Yes.
I will start with my favorite, Okdongja.
(He begins with Okdongja.)
How dare you show off with such an ugly face?
You should be as handsome as me.
As handsome as me.
(Okdongja is brought out from our memory.)
Your eyebrows keep moving.
- Your eyebrows. - Next.
- It's a school principal. - This is a funny one.
My dear, dear... Students, students of...
Ongok, Ongok...
Elementary School, School, School.
A big dream, dream will give you, give you...
A better future, future, future.
Who is the one digging up the ground, ground?
Bring him up, up, up.
You don't need a mic.
- I know. - He's the best.
Please show us General Ok.
I am, I am, I am...
General Ok.
I love it.
(He showcased all of his catchphrases.)
Seung Yoon can't come up with catchphrases...
because of his wife.
Why not?
My wife used to work for a publishing company.
We met while I was writing a book about exercising.
Because of what she does,
she can't stand typos.
She can't stand slang words.
It was her job to edit what people write.
But let's say that I was throwing about ideas.
Here's an example.
"Gosh, I'm dying from the pain."
She'd get all serious and tell me that I'm wrong.
"It's killing me" is the correct phrase,
but even that is an informal expression.
"Please don't say it. If you must though,"
"say that the pain is just excruciating."
That's how she corrected me.
But you need it to sound direr.
I'd retort by saying it's too boring...
and that she's killing me.
"I'm wearing you out!"
"Don't use words that are informal."
"Switch to formal expressions."
I'd say I can't stomach something,
and she'd tell me to use "dislike" or "loathe".
Everything she says is educational.
"Who cares if or not I..."
"The correct conjunction is 'whether'."
"Only 'whether' goes with 'or not'."
"Don't confuse the two!"
She constantly corrects my grammar.
I see.
But then I went...
on "Woorimal Battle" and won that episode.
It turns out that I know a lot of grammar.
My Korean grammar has never been better,
but my jokes have gotten weaker.
I have to think too much.
Joon Hyun, you have a lot of catchphrases too.
Yes, of course.
All right. I need to be smart about this.
"Heungbu and Nolbu. Really?"
"We should call someone. Right, aren't I?"
"Witty, aren't you? How about a drink later?"
(He never disappoints.)
- Nice. - He's really good.
He sure is good.
Your best character yet is...
the one you're embodying on "Tasty Guys".
You've been on the show for five years.
My husband once tried copying your beer ritual.
I see.
Can you please explain how you enjoy beer?
What does she mean by that?
Just so you know, I love to go fishing.
I get a good night's sleep after I fish.
I wake up around noon and it's time to go home.
From the moment I wake up,
I don't drink a drop of water.
That's how it begins.
I deprive myself of water and drive in a heated car.
It's a two-hour ride from the fishing site.
Once I'm home, I take the beer...
out of the fridge and into the freezer.
I take a shower with slightly hot water.
- Hot water? - On purpose?
- I know where it's going. - I'm almost done for.
My mouth is now completely dry.
I want to drink water, but I endure the thirst.
Then I dry myself off and let any sweat dry too.
I turn on the fan to the lowest setting...
and sit in front of it in my underwear.
I then bring over the beer.
Pop.
(Popping and hissing)
(We can almost taste the refreshing beer.)
(Kim Pro delivers!)
I don't drink, but I'd like one.
Me too.
I'd love to try it.
We just saw a beer commercial.
Nothing can beat that.
Here's an additional pointer.
On your way home, stop by a sushi place...
and only buy 12 pieces of...
white fleshed fish sushi.
Place that and the beer in the fridge together.
If you want it even colder,
take a tin beer mug and rinse it.
- The water... - It'll freeze.
Put that in the freezer too.
- Then take your shower... - That sounds amazing.
and sit only in your underwear...
with a small portable table in front of you.
Open the beer and pour it in the tin mug.
There's no need for any foam on top.
It'll all go down in one gulp anyway.
Make sure that the mug is full.
Take the sushi in your other hand...
and look at yourself in the mirror.
You're finally ready.
(The moment everyone has been waiting for.)
(Chugging)
(Sucking in)
(Exclaiming)
(The sound effects of pure ecstasy.)
That is what I call happiness.
Now this...
was a beer commercial.
What do you eat for hangovers?
Your stomach must be queasy at times.
- Hangovers? - You drink often.
It depends on the drink.
How about makgeolli?
After drinking makgeolli, I eat naengmyeon.
- Naengmyeon? - Pyeongyang naengmyeon?
That's a good choice, but I sometimes order...
bibim naengmyeon and ask for some broth.
How about soju?
After drinking soju,
you need to appease your stomach.
I tried jjamppong, but that's not good.
I recommend rice noodles.
- Really? - With brisket?
Start by drinking the broth first.
Every Korean restaurant is generous with broth,
so drink it first before mixing anything in.
Don't drink cold water afterward though.
Your stomach will only tense up again.
Ask for more broth.
Even if it's hot, keep drinking the broth.
The broth will...
wash away the hangover as it goes down your body.
- And... - You know that feeling.
The day after drinking...
strong liquor, here's what you do.
That's when you go for pizza or hamburger.
That's how Americans treat hangovers.
- I see. - What about wine?
Do you ever get hangovers with wine?
Wine is just grape juice.
You're right. It's just juice to him.
Okay, that was neat.
I hear that you have...
your very own view on food and drinks.
Be sincere with every meal.
Think carefully before you choose what to eat.
The joy that a meal can bring...
is something you can easily experience.
It's something that...
you can feel directly as well.
Your dining room table...
is the quickest place to find joy.
That's why I try to enjoy every meal.
You never take meals lightly.
Won Hyo, you also was put on the map...
thanks to "Emergency Committee".
Just like Joon Hyun,
you earned quite a lot of money from it.
People asked you to say...
your catchphrase at funerals?
It was back when I was popular,
so I'd get requests everywhere I go.
When I walk by, people would say,
"No, get over here."
("No, get over here.")
- "No, get over here." - I'm grateful...
to get noticed even at funerals,
but requesting my catchphrase...
- That's awful. - Exactly.
It's not appropriate. This one time though,
the family said it wasn't a sad death.
"Go ahead and say the catchphrase."
- The family? - Yes, a family member.
The family asked,
so I couldn't exactly turn them down either.
As you know, my catchphrase...
could sound quite negative.
However,
I can rephrase my catchphrase and say,
"You can't not do something."
I decided to accept their request.
"You can't leave us so early!"
(You can't leave us so early!)
Did they like it?
I kept getting requests.
That reminds me of something too.
Many of my elderly relatives...
were invited to my wedding.
My grandfather sternly said...
that weddings should be solemn and serious.
So that's the tone my wedding was set in.
My father gave a speech...
and we were announced husband and wife.
Just then, Won Hyo suddenly cried out, "No!"
My grandfather went from smiling to...
(Grunting)
He was over the moon...
to see his grandson get married, but...
(Who's objecting?)
He brought us yet another laugh.
- He was shaking? - I can't believe it.
- That was a great one. - I was so surprised.
I hear that Won Hyo is liked by BTS.
You're the celebrity BTS likes?
Last year, there was a music award where...
all K-pop artists were invited to.
My wife and I...
were the hosts of the ceremony.
We heard that BTS would be there,
so we wanted a chance to say hello.
I wanted to say that I was a fan.
After the show though,
BTS spotted me and came up to me first.
"Won Hyo, I'm your fan!"
(Won Hyo, I'm your fan!)
The person who said that was V.
- V? - V said that?
- There's a photo. - Where?
- There you go. - No way.
Only one could've said it,
but the entire team said my catchphrase together.
"No!"
(We shouldn't not be friends!)
Thanks to this anecdote,
we now know that BTS is Won Hyo's fan.
(BTS is Won Hyo's fan.)
An article will be written about it.
"BTS Is Won Hyo's Fan".
Na Mi, is it true that...
many colleagues envy you...
because you were able to make people laugh...
without doing much?
When I was a rookie,
I first joined the segment called...
"Hail Singles, Curse Couples".
I didn't have any sort of character yet,
but Yoo Min Sang came up with one for me.
"Single since birth" was not a common phrase yet.
Min Sang told me to play a pure...
and innocent character who has never dated before.
Yoon Hee is wearing the outfit right now.
- Right. - I remember.
With that, I also had my hair hang long.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Oh Na Mi, and..."
"I've been single since birth."
That was my opening line.
When the sketch started, the light went on...
behind me before I said my line.
This was the audience's reaction.
(They burst out laughing.)
They started laughing...
and I wondered if I was really that funny.
On stage,
I was asked what day December 25 was.
That was the question.
It's Christmas, right?
It's Christmas Day, but...
What day is December 25?
- Christmas Day. - You're wrong!
What day is December 25?
- Friday. - Yes, it's Friday!
(It's just another Friday.)
It's just another Friday.
After the show aired,
my name ranked first place...
on the real-time keyword ranking.
It led me to win Rookie of the Year too.
(She even won Rookie of the Year.)
Seung Hye, your name also ranked...
in first place when you made your debut.
Right.
My sketch was called "She's Pretty",
and I had to be silly and over-the-top.
I even did impressions of pigeons on stage.
After the show aired, even the day after,
my name ranked first place...
on the real-time keyword ranking.
That's when I finally got the taste...
of the power of "Gag Concert".
- This show is different. - You've made it now.
I clicked on one of the trending articles.
It had over 1,000 comments.
I thought I had made it.
There was going to be no more hardships for me.
I clicked on the comments with joy,
but all of them were hate comments.
(All of them were hate comments.)
- Why? - The hate comments!
"Is all that necessary just to get a laugh?"
"Instead of doing a pigeon impression,"
"try being funny with your words."
- Can you show us? - Go ahead.
Show us something.
I put together a medley of hipster dance moves.
- What? - Hipster dance moves?
(Hipster dance moves from all over the world)
Is this a thing?
Good.
She's a great dancer.
(Bouncing to the beat)
(Okay, let's go!)
(Step 2: The gazua dance)
(Seung Hye captivates them.)
Nice.
It's the hammer dance.
(Step 3: The hammer dance and backpack dance)
You're doing great.
(She's not just some innocent flower.)
Go, Seung Hye!
(The back and forth dance)
Go, Seung Hye!
(Here and there)
- Go, Seung Hye! - Go, Seung Hye!
(Hipster dance compilation cleared!)
Sae Ho,
what did you think of Seung Hye's dancing?
I loved it. As you know,
I love to sing and dance as well.
I liked how passionate her dancing was.
You say that being...
a comedienne helped you a lot.
We're known to do a lot of sketches,
and as a reporter, I want to greet...
the celebrities in a fun way.
I once had to interview Ju Ji Hoon,
Ryu Seung Ryong, and Bae Doo Na...
of the show "Kingdom".
So I thought it'd be a good idea...
to dress up like a zombie.
(Teeth clattering)
I then said the line, "Want some Korean sweets?"
(Want some Korean sweets?)
That's funny.
(Seung Hye as a zombie)
(Want some Korean sweets?)
He accepted it with grace too.
- That's funny. - Right, and...
I got a good response.
I took a photo with Seung Ryong...
and said to him that I was a fan.
The next day, he asked Tae Jin who I was.
He said I was funny...
and followed me on social media.
One of Korea's top actors...
followed me on social media!
I was so touched,
and Lee Dong Hwi who was beside him...
also said that he enjoyed his interview with me too.
He had already followed me on social media.
- I can see why. - She worked hard.
It's because you worked hard.
All of your hard work finally paid off.
Like always, we'll erase your dark pasts.
We're busy today...
since we have a lot of requests.
Jong Chul, let's start with you.
I once went on a tour around China.
The rest of the group went somewhere else...
while Joon Hyung, I, and a few others...
went to eat Pyeongyang naengmyeon.
We heard that there was...
a Pyeongyang naengmyeon restaurant...
that was run by North Koreans.
You won't believe how excited I was.
The female servers were absolutely stunning,
- so I was mesmerized. - Were they North Koreans?
After ordering the naengmyeon,
I guess I wanted to draw attention to myself.
Since they're North Koreans,
I wanted to make them laugh.
"Are you really from North Korea?"
"My gosh, everyone is so stunning."
The server asked if I'd like my noodles cut.
As she was cutting them, she said this.
"They say that women from the North..."
"and men from the South are most beautiful."
"It's obviously a lie."
(The fact crushed him.)
(The North Korean server delivered a punch.)
That was brutal!
(Here's another man who's wounded by it.)
I was truly embarrassed.
(Here's another man who's wounded by it.)
She said it while cutting the noodles.
"It's obviously a lie."
I still can't forget about it.
- I know. - It runs deep.
I can't seem to forget about it either.
- It was gratifying. - Still, it dug deep.
Na Mi, were you really offered...
- a cosmetic surgery deal? - Really?
Yes, a few months after my debut,
I became the main face of ugly women.
A cosmetic surgery clinic...
offered me a full-body surgery.
- A full-body surgery? - Yes.
Afterward, I'd take a few photos.
The money offered was a close to a million.
At first, I was tempted...
by the offer.
But then I thought that...
I could earn the money anyway,
and if I change my appearance,
I'll be erasing this Oh Na Mi from existence.
- I won't be me anymore. - You'll lose your charm.
That's what I thought so too,
so I told the clinic...
that I could earn the money anyway.
- I'm glad. - That's what I said.
You made the right choice.
She's charming in her own way.
I also think that she's charming in person.
Also, she's known for her great figure.
She even was a body-double for Shin Min A.
- Really? - Shin Min A?
Yes, there was a TV series on SBS...
called "My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho".
(Shin Min A or Oh Na Mi?)
That's Na Mi!
That was great.
I see that you added a mole.
Nice.
Were you really Min A's body-double?
I wore the dress that Min A wore...
and nothing was altered.
I'd walk on the streets...
and Lee Seung Gi would mistake me for Min A.
I only showed a glimpse of my face,
but many loved...
how I made an appearance on the show.
Well, we'll put all these stories in a bundle...
- and erase them. - Right.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Joon Hyun, you were embarrassed...
on quite a lot of live shows.
You exposed some skin too?
Let's check the footage first.
We'll erase it after we see it.
- Wait, who are you? - Wait, who are you?
(His zipper keeps sliding down.)
- Don't you know? - Don't you know?
(They laugh for real.)
- Liars! - Liars!
(Sliding down)
My gosh.
(Stay calm.)
- It was a live show. - That's right.
Liars. That's who we are!
(Perfect timing)
Unbelievable.
The zipper broke.
(The zipper broke...)
(and everyone burst out laughing.)
- Really? - My gosh.
As a comedian myself...
It's a gift from the skies.
It sure is.
It's a gift from the skies.
That's right.
- It was somewhat planned. - Really?
Was it?
It's actually quite funny.
Since it's a live show,
we do a dress rehearsal of the actual show first.
Only I knew during the rehearsal.
The zipper would slide down on its own.
It came sliding down no matter what I did.
I started panicking,
but then it hit me.
(Hold on a second!)
So I got thinking after the rehearsal was over.
It might not have been funny...
if this was a recorded show.
It only worked because it was a live show.
Of course.
So I took off my undershirt...
and wore the outfit again.
But I didn't know if the zipper...
would slide down at the right moment.
I couldn't practice though...
because then the zipper might actually break.
It was a gamble on my part.
Anyway, I stepped on stage...
with the zipper barely in place.
When I yelled and let out a breath,
but zipper slid down. Yes!
It was the icing on the cake.
(A legendary photo was born.)
- Look. - The zipper...
actually breaking wasn't expected, right?
- No, it wasn't. - It just happened.
I didn't know if the zipper would break.
- It's hilarious. - We had a lot of fun.
Have you ran off stage without giving notice?
For live shows, I don't eat breakfasts.
What goes in must come out, right?
If I eat all three meals during the day,
I have to relieve myself at least once.
That's why I don't eat when on live shows.
I postpone the meals one by one.
That day, I opened the fridge,
and there were thin slices of chuck tail flap.
Like dominoes, one was on top of the other.
It was so beautiful that I just had to pick it up.
I ended up polishing off the entire packet of beef.
It was delicious, but it was also my ruin.
My character that day was a news presenter.
I was doing a great job too.
I even forgot that I had eaten breakfast.
I was well immersed in my character when...
my stomach started to rumble.
That's the worst!
You all know how it is, right?
At first, I didn't believe it.
"This can't be happening."
- I was on a live show. - My goodness.
- You can't control that. - As I was acting,
(His stomach was growling.)
- I know what that is. - it was growling.
- They knew it was him. - Then I was...
I was going crazy.
- I got cold sweats. - You would go crazy.
When they were showing a video, I asked them.
"Can I use the bathroom?"
The staff said no because it was a live show.
I knew I wasn't allowed to use the bathroom.
I had to get back to the show after a minute.
I was holding it again and read my script.
It was either I just run for the bathroom or...
It would be a disaster either way.
- Right. - A disaster either way.
But I had a choice.
I could have used the bathroom...
(It was either running out or making a mess.)
- Those were my choices. - The sound of thunder.
This is what I thought.
I had to make a choice.
I was standing at the crossroad.
Is it more professional to use the bathroom...
during a live show or to make a mess there?
I couldn't help, but to think of two choices.
I thought, "Should I just make a mess here?"
"If I make a mess here,"
"I have to emigrate to Cuba or something."
"I'd be so humiliated."
You would want to move to somewhere far.
It's like I have to live in exile.
I would have to live in exile.
I didn't do anything politically wrong.
Change your name and grow a beard.
- I have to go, right? - You'd be humiliated.
But is it right to retire just because of that?
Gosh. But it would be such a disgrace.
I couldn't hold it anymore.
Although the staff said no,
I just ran to the bathroom...
- and emptied myself. - Goodness.
I was so relieved and happy.
How did you get back when you had just a minute?
I couldn't make it.
That's when Jeong Sang Hun went into my part.
He just came and sat in my seat.
- Goodness. - He did some...
impromptu skit in Chinese and saved my neck.
(They were saved by his impromptu act.)
Luckily, the audience started laughing.
- It could have been bad. - So after a video,
I came back to my seat to finish the show.
That was great.
I really didn't know what to do.
But you made the right choice.
Don't eat before a live show.
You could have watched this show in Cuba.
You are right.
I almost watched this by satellite broadcasting.
I would have sat in a rocking chair...
and watched this show.
"Happy Together's still fun to watch."
Seung Hye, have you ever made a mistake...
while shooting "Entertainment Weekly"?
I'm not very good at memorizing scripts.
The writers write a lot of lines for me...
so that I can be on TV for a long time.
I try to memorize them before the show starts.
There are many adjectives...
- I had to memorize. - He's been through that.
- It's really hard. - When the red light's on,
- my eyes start to shake. - Live shows are hard.
I couldn't remember "spectacular drama".
My mind just went blank.
I just screamed, "Specta drama!"
- On a live show? - I just screamed.
I was like, "Let's check it out."
I ruined the show and apologized to the crew.
I thought I shouldn't make mistakes again.
After that incident, I forgot the lines again.
During my turn I said,
"I'm so sorry."
"Let's just check it out."
Sometimes they fight...
(Nervous)
I'm so sorry.
I get nervous when the red light is on.
When I work on comedy shows in a theater,
the audience reacts to my performance.
But I couldn't focus on the red light alone.
- My eyes kept shaking. - I can relate to that.
That's so relatable.
Now that you shared your stories,
you made many mistakes on a live show.
- What do you think? - I can cover up for that.
(Heart-throbbing)
I can cover up for her mistake.
You can cover up her mistake?
Some people make mistakes, but you can cover them up.
- Goodness. - You make mistakes too.
- I make a lot of them. - Cover up for yourself.
We can cover up for each other.
Jong Chul made a mistake on "Gag Concert" too.
You almost hurt Park Seong Ho.
I almost killed him.
- You almost killed him? - Yes.
- What happened? - I almost got in trouble.
It's when Seong Ho was playing the role,
- "Stephan". - "Stephan".
- He was wearing a skirt. - With roller skates.
I was supposed to wake him up...
with an electroshock when he fell down.
The crew asked me to get a taser gun.
I asked them, "How do I get that?"
"No, not the real taser gun."
"Get those batteries you use for cars."
"Just use them as props."
I had to check the props before the show.
- But you didn't. - I couldn't check them.
I was just going to act like I was using a taser.
But it was connected accurately.
(The batteries were connected accurately.)
Somebody connected them accurately.
But I was up there on the stage,
I didn't know about this.
I continued acting, "Stephan passed out."
"I should give him an electroshock."
I grabbed those batteries.
It was good that I did this.
I rubbed them against each other.
It was good that I rubbed them first.
He would have been dead if I hadn't rubbed them.
- Goodness. - He would have been dead.
Goodness.
Luckily, I rubbed them.
When I rubbed them, there was an electric shock.
My goodness!
He could feel those electric shocks...
even when his eyes were closed.
So Seong Ho opened his eyes.
With a serious look, he said...
"Hey, Jong Chul!"
He's pretending to be passed out.
(Seong Ho has passed out.)
I need to give him an electric shock.
(Everyone was disconcerted.)
Wait a second.
(Kim Dae Hee runs towards Jong Chul to stop him.)
It was like an actual taser gun.
He would have been hurt if you hadn't rubbed them.
If I hadn't rubbed them,
Seong Ho would have been hurt.
We should get rid of all of these pasts.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Goodness.
Seung Yoon, we'll get rid of your dark past too.
People thought your magic contest photo was edited.
- In a magic contest? - It's not that.
It's a muscle contest.
Excuse me. What was that?
This will be Jae Seok's dark past.
I read it wrong. I thought it said "magic contest".
I never attended any magic contests.
Just go with me.
- What is that? - What's that?
What on earth is this?
Are you sure this was not edited?
Isn't this an alien?
It's not Seung Yoon's body.
- This is edited. - It must be edited.
- What is this? - This is not edited.
Surprisingly, this is not edited.
You were in a magic contest then.
- So I was right. - You were right.
I wanted to join the muscle contest...
for bodybuilding.
I usually weigh about 83kg.
But professional bodybuilders...
who weigh more than 75kg,
- look stunning. - Right.
So I didn't have a chance to win.
I had to join the lightweight category.
I decided to lose my weight until 65kg.
Is that about 20kg?
I lost 20kg.
However, the problem was that I lost weight,
but my head was still huge.
You look like an ostrich there.
(Hello, ostrich.)
Your head was one problem.
But your arms were too short too.
(What is this about?)
Let's say that Jong Chul is...
blessed to have such face as a comedian.
- For me, it's my body. - Your body?
I have really short arms and legs.
Although my muscles look good, I don't look...
nice because my arms and legs are short.
So I can't fight well in martial arts.
- You can't reach. - My arms can't reach.
I couldn't hit my opponent.
This is really sad.
No matter how hard I try, it won't reach.
It just won't reach the opponent's face.
But I had to hit him at least once.
I tried to reach out with my hand twice.
My arms were swinging.
My fingers were out.
But I couldn't hit him at all.
Did you see him?
He unfolded his hands because he couldn't reach.
To poke the opponent?
He tried unfolding hands because he couldn't reach.
(The three of them are witnesses too.)
To poke the opponent.
I couldn't even touch him at all in the end.
You didn't even hit him once?
- Not even once. - Really?
(Match footage)
- He's doing great there. - That's cool.
He looks great for now.
There are many fellow comedians too.
See my hands can't reach him.
It just won't reach.
His hands won't reach.
Goodness. I feel bad.
- This tears me up. - This is sad.
- My goodness. - Look at them.
- Goodness. It's sad. - He couldn't reach.
Didn't Dae Hee cry?
- Everyone was crying. - It's true.
All the comediennes cried too.
At first, I started off well...
as I was smiling.
But I was beaten up so hard.
We didn't expect him to get beaten up that much.
We'll get rid of it for you, Seung Yoon.
- Let's erase it for him. - Yes, we should.
We'll erase it for you.
- Leviosa. - Leviosa.
Goodness.
That's all for "Gag Concert Together".
Please share a few words. Jong Chul?
Whenever I come to KBS,
- I get moved. - I see.
Thank you for having me...
on "Gag Concert Together".
Great.
I want "Gag Concert" to continue its great fame.
We'll work hard for that.
Thanks to everyone here,
I got to be here today. I had so much fun.
I'm glad to be here again after a long time.
Please support "Gag Concert".
I had a great time here...
with my fellow comedians after a long time.
I hope to see more successful comedians...
from "Gag Concert" in the future.
I'm sure it's not that far away.
You think the day will come soon.
That's right.
- I had so much fun. - Great.
He's the Talk Machine today.
All of his stories were fun.
He did amazing today.
You were 100 percent on target.
Right. Well...
I could really prove myself here.
(Talk Machine)
(Unbelievable)
You can be successful...
if you keep trying. I was an example today.
Let's go, people of Korea!
- Please come back. - Okay.
- We'll see you next week. - Thank you.
