(The four changed people's adventure in Radio Star!)
(A Whole New Me Special begins now!)
You thought I was just a nice and cute guy, right?
"Are you a ggang or what?"
It's not "ggang". It's "gang".
- "Ggang"? - "Ggang"?
- After all I said, why say "ggang"? - Let's start over.
Today, I'll be malicious like Gu Ra.
I will show you a completely different me
- Gosh. - Okay.
- What was that? - It must be a rock version.
- Ailee. - It's Ailee's song.
I only know my songs.
- You love yourself so much. - He does.
You thought I was just a mischievous and cool-headed man, right?
Wait, what?
Hello?
Today, just like Gook Jin,
I will show you a completely... How does it go again?
I will show you A completely different me
This song was way a bigger hit...
- than your songs. - Seriously.
"Like It" is the best song.
("Like It" is the best.)
This is a famous song.
It's one of Ailee's most famous songs.
We'll see how you pull it off.
You thought I was just a conservative and mean man, right?
You must have thought I was just a narrow-minded man.
What? You sound like typical you.
"Narrow-minded".
Today, I'm going to be open-minded like Young Mi.
I will show you A completely different me
You said you knew the song, but you're singing just like me.
You said you will be open-minded, but what was that?
You have to do this at least.
You want me to do this?
Or at least a deep kiss.
I have done this many times.
(That's no problem.)
I have done this many times.
- I mean, a deep kiss. - I'm the one who invented this.
(They're getting too competitive.)
Enough.
You thought I was just a woman who only tells R-rated jokes, right?
Is it good to be in love?
- Now, that's a hit song. - Okay.
Oh, my.
I will be sentimental and cool-headed like Jong Shin.
I will show you...
a completely different me.
That's right. We always push for changes.
You're watching a high-end chameleon program,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
(Radio Star)
Today, we have invited...
greedy people who always show us different sides of theirs...
in different fields.
A Whole New Me Special.
Her time moves backwards.
She gets more and more beautiful every day.
She's a human preservative. She's a taxidermied human.
A beautiful lady stalker?
She's about to turn into a horrific stalker.
Actress Kim Sung Ryoung.
(Actress Kim Sung Ryoung)
She's really amazing.
As a star anchor of MBC,
she had hosted news programs, cultural programs and variety shows.
Then she disappeared for six years.
Since she discovered her talent in acting, she's all over the place.
Anchor and actress Son Jung Eun.
He's the first Asian...
to be the two-times winner of MLB World Series.
He's got the rings too.
As he broke the record, he shed the image of a rascal...
and turned into a baseball commentator...
who also owns a burger restaurant.
The return of the nuclear submarine.
Mr. Middle Finger, Kim Byung Hyun.
The former Cho Sae Ho's man...
seemed to turn into...
Kim Eun Sook's man through "Mr. Sunshine",
but as soon as the show ended,
he came back to Cho Sae Ho.
He has been a rising star for 20 years.
"Do you get it?"
Nam Chang Hee.
Welcome, Chang Hee.
- Welcome. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Have a seat.
- Oh, my. It's Kim Byung Hyun. - They look alike.
- We do? - You do look alike.
The shapes of your heads look alike.
Their heads have similar shapes.
They both have big heads.
Sung Ryoung.
I heard you had insomnia due to stress.
- Really? - Who said that?
I guess you feel pressure because of the play?
Right. It's the play.
We're asking this so you can promote the play.
We're just trying to say you're working hard for the play.
So you have trouble falling asleep these days?
I dream a lot.
I have so many different kinds of dreams...
I don't feel awake when I wake up.
I mean, I don't feel like I had sleep.
You don't feel awake when you wake up?
She's confused.
(She's still in her dream.)
This is your third time on our show.
I heard you gave advice to Jung Eun as it's her first time.
- What advice? - To Jung Eun.
- You advised her. - Wait.
You had a pre-interview with the crews here, right?
Why do you seem so clueless?
She's so distracted.
You already talked about this at the pre-interview.
It's because she doesn't feel awake.
She must feel like she's still in her dream.
I just told her she doesn't have to be nervous...
because you guys will be taking care of everything.
This might sound a bit weird.
You're busy acting and everything,
but you seem...
to be on variety shows regularly...
although you're not so good at it.
Last time...
- I also wonder why. - Last time,
she was on "King of Mask Singer".
Not many people like to be on that show.
It's all about music, so you don't have much to talk about.
So I was wondering why they invited Sung Ryoung.
When I heard she was coming,
- I was wondering why. - Well...
It's not that I invited myself to the show.
One of the writers of the show was...
- a writer of another variety show, - Oh, right.
- She was on that too. - "My Tutor Friend".
- So... - She's been on a lot of shows.
When someone I know...
- Asks your favor? - Right.
Then it's hard for me to turn down the person.
She was on "The Law of Jungle" too.
- Really? - Really?
- She's been in a lot of shows. - It was the same for that show.
The director of the show was a woman...
- I know her. - and she told me...
she had always wanted to go to a jungle with me.
Do you think I fell for her?
Yes.
- That's what they always say. - When she said that,
I was so thankful that she thought of me like that.
Those who work in this business must be thankful to her.
And I didn't want to be on Radio Star again.
I see.
But...
- It's someone you knew again? - Did someone you knew asked you?
You have a play to promote, right?
Right. I'm here for the promotion.
I knew it.
(She's an honest and dorky girl.)
And Jung Eun,
I heard you spoke ill of this show all the time.
- "Spoke ill of" - She spoke ill of this show?
On the same day and at the same time...
this show is shot, I host a show called "Desirable TV".
It's MBC's ombudsman show.
I host that show.
I saw you around here a few times.
Since Radio Star is a popular show,
- we talk about it very often. - Right.
- So... - How did you speak ill of it?
I said that it's not as good as it used to be.
- Really? - I see.
But since this year,
especially since Young Mi has become the fourth host,
the atmosphere became so much better.
Radio Star is on the rise again.
I think it'll be successful again.
It was a great move.
Young Mi has...
an image of a tough girl.
Just like Byung Hyun when he was on the field.
- He was like a wild horse. - Right.
Whenever Young Mi sees me,
she says, "Hi, Gu Ra."
- I wish she doesn't do that. - Why?
I wish she just ignores me.
Do you want me to grab you by your collars?
I wish she can be more aggressive.
- Now, whenever you see him, - I see.
just say, "What up?"
- Come on. - Goodness.
That's not what I meant.
- Anyway... - Say, "Stop frowning".
- That's not what I meant. - I was born kind.
- I can't help it. - I know you're kind,
but I just wish you're a little more aggressive.
But you once said I shouldn't force myself to look like that.
I'm not saying you should force yourself.
Can we listen to her now?
(Can we listen to her now?)
On "Desirable TV",
before Young Mi has become a host of this show,
we talked about the episode where Young Mi was a guest.
One of our panelists...
said he wanted Young Mi to be the fourth host of the show.
He predicted the future.
After that,
she has become a regular host of this show.
(She wraps up nicely as she's a news anchor.)
You should act like this.
- I know. - Act?
You can't act so well, can you?
You talk so smoothly...
- and confidently. - I know.
Have you two known each other for long?
- No, we're in the play together. - I see.
- "Misery"? - Yes.
It's based on the old movie...
- Kathy Bates starred in. - Is it the same story?
Yes, it's the same story.
- The movie James Caan starred in. - Right.
You know it well.
I do.
- Did you study? - As I said, yes.
But the two of them don't really suit "Misery"...
- I'm not the main character. - You're not?
I'm not good enough...
- Then who plays it? - to play the main character.
So it's not double-casting.
There are three characters in the play.
- A man, a woman, and a sheriff. - A sheriff.
- I play the sheriff. - The sheriff. I see.
I play Sheriff Buster.
- That's how we met. - Wait.
Misery is...
the name of a novel character in the movie.
- I'm playing Annie Wilkes. - Annie.
May I ask how you ended up starring in the play?
Was it someone you knew again?
(Are you starring in the play because of someone you know?)
(Nodding)
(She's such a social butterfly.)
Whenever we had MBC employees as our guests here,
I heard you felt bad.
- We had an anchor as a guest. - Right.
It never went super successful with MBC employees as our guests.
Kim Jung Hyun is the youngest anchor...
- in the network. - You're right.
- He's one of my favorite juniors. - I see.
So I thought...
- he'd do well on Radio Star. - Yes?
I didn't give him much direction.
I thought he'd be fine on his own.
I understand because he is such an ambitious...
- and talkative man. - He was showing ambition too much.
He should've controlled himself.
Turns out he failed to do that.
- But he did quite okay. - That was too bad.
He was reviled the pants off and that was quite a success.
(Criticism)
Negative comments are better than no comments.
- He did quite well. - That's right.
I hope I don't have to go through that.
This January, Kim Byung Hyun finished...
- Yes, yes. - his career...
- at Australian Baseball League. - I see.
Kim Byung Hyun is on the mound for the first time as an Asian...
in the long-expected World Series.
(He was considered to be...)
(the best closer ever in his team, Arizona.)
(He was the first Asian to win the World Series 2 times.)
(He continued his career at Nexen Heroes and KIA Tigers.)
(In 2018, he joined Australian Team, Melbourne Aces.)
I heard you refused to have an official retirement ceremony.
I haven't really achieved anything...
- to have an official ceremony. - That's true.
You have two World Series rings.
- Because it's not a Major League... - Those rings don't mean much.
I'm sure you must've felt empty...
after the retirement, right?
Yes, because I have engaged in this career...
- for 20 to 30 years. - I understand.
So I'm looking for something to focus on.
Do you feel a bit depressed as well?
Depressed? Not exactly.
Don't lump him in with you.
- He's only in his 40s. - No, no.
- He has such a placid nature. - That's not it.
When someone suddenly quits his career...
that he has engaged in for 20 years,
- he might not know what to do. - He's right. It could happen.
He could feel that way regardless of his financial status.
He's right.
So I tried doing commentary.
- And I found... - You wanted to try it?
it was quite fun.
- How is your hamburger restaurant? - Yes?
Yes, the business is picking up.
- I heard it's pretty popular. - That's awesome.
It's located in Chungjangno, Gwangju.
As an innovative item,
you should make a long hamburger and name it middle finger hamburger.
- Middle Finger Burger. - Middle Finger Burger.
As a matter of fact, the customers ask me...
to sell Middle Finger Burger.
- See? What did I tell you? - What?
- Make it as a hot dog. - I like that idea.
Get the sausage to stick out of the hot dog.
That's a good idea.
- When you go to the Love Park... - Yes, yes.
Go ahead.
Young Mi, get started.
- Spit it out. - You know what I'm talking about.
(Young Mi's eyes are full of mischief.)
I heard you're transforming into an entertainer recently.
I've recently joined a program called "Favoritism Commentary".
The members are Seo Jang Hoon and Ahn Jung Hwan.
So it's basically...
- a three-way battle... - Soccer and basketball...
among baseball, soccer, and basketball.
It's a program that cheers...
those of who feel alienated...
and need people on their sides.
- They need to be favored. - So you're not actually commenting,
but you're commenting those people's daily lives?
That's right. We integrate their daily lives.
You're doing it with Kim Je Dong, right?
Yes, my partner is Kim Je Dong.
I met Seo Jang Hoon the other day and he said this about him.
Before meeting you in person,
due to your strong image...
Jang Hoon thought you were a complete weirdo.
But now that you guys actually met, he said you were all right.
Because of your naughty image,
- he said he misjudged you. - I understand.
(He was also known as a rascal.)
- He had that rascal image. - That's right.
When I heard that he was opening a restaurant,
I thought he's not the type who deals with people.
But I guess I was wrong.
Nam Chang Hee is currently in a group called "Cho Nam Zone".
- Cho Sae Ho and Nam Chang Hee? - That's right.
Isn't it too obvious?
- That's such a simple idea. - I know.
- "Cho Nam Zone"? - It's so obvious.
Why isn't it Nam Cho Zone?
Actually, we named it in homage...
- to "Green Zone". - I see.
And we came up with this team name, Cho Nam Zone.
Since Cho Sae Ho is much more popular,
I put his name in front. Besides, Nam Cho Zone doesn't...
sound good.
- You're right. Nam Cho Zone. - Yes, Nam Cho Zone.
In a variety show perspective, Nam Cho Zone is much better.
- Nam Cho Zone is better? - Yes.
- Should I change it? - What do you guys do?
- Do you sing? - Do you sing?
- Yes, we sing. - Did you release a song?
The song is "Where Are You at Now" in short, "I'm Broke".
- Have you heard the song? - It's a really good song.
- You guys are so predictable. - Gosh.
- Can you sing the first part? - Please sing it.
(Where are you at now)
(Unexpectedly, the song is pathetically touching.)
(But soon, it makes them laugh.)
(Infatuated)
(Anchor actress sings along.)
This is my part.
- I liked it. - This is how it goes.
We released our live singing videos and people went crazy for them.
- With all due respect... - People went crazy? Are you sure?
With all due respect,
I think we, comedians tend to have a compulsive need...
to show their serious aspect to the public.
But viewers don't want to see that.
(Biting remarks)
- If they were to listen to ballad, - Goodness.
why would they want to listen to your and Cho Sae Ho's?
It's my personal opinion.
- I think the title of your song... - I understand.
will be preferred by the creditors.
"Where are you at now?"
I heard chauffeurs also like our song.
- "Where are you at now?" - That's it.
That sounds good.
(It's a sad debt song by comedian ballad singers.)
So your song became the creditors' favorite song.
- He's open-minded. - Have you, Kim Sung Ryoung met...
Ahn Young Mi as a model?
- Yes. - Yes.
We met as cosmetics models.
(They were models for a cosmetics brand?)
- Which brand? - So you took rank with...
- Lancome. - "Lancome"?
(They shot paradoxical concept commercial together.)
Look at my neck.
Did you do the chest shooting then?
Yes, she did the chest shooting.
- Did I? - Yes.
Goodness, I can't even remember.
- You blindly fire it too much. - You fire it too often.
- I do it like as if I breathe. - You always fire it.
It almost feel like a sleeping habit.
(The chest gun dominates her unconscious mind.)
You should at least know in which program you fired it.
- I forgot. - You sure fired it often.
- I fired it there, too. - Yes.
How did you think about her chest gun?
"So that's what it was, it's not much"?
Yes.
You had full makeup on, right?
Of course, so she complimented that I look much prettier in person,
- beautiful and have a good figure. - I remember.
You said those things back then.
That's right.
Why do you make me say these things myself?
- I'm sorry. - Gosh.
I remember, I said that.
She answers with no soul.
(Just like Young Mi's chest gun, she soullessly compliments her.)
Son Jung Eun used to be Gu Ra's big fan,
but recently something made her turn her back on him.
What could it be? Nothing comes to my mind.
Whenever we run into each other, we gladly say hello.
This happened about two years ago.
- I turned my back on him. - Why?
- Two years ago? - In fact,
I'm a big fan of Radio Star, I even binge watch it.
I especially like Kim Gu Ra.
- We also go way back. - Yes.
We also appeared on the same show before.
I used to like him a lot.
There is a food court in MBC Mall basement.
We bumped into each other by chance.
Since I was his big fan, I was so happy to see him.
As I was gladly saying a big hello,
I asked him if he could spare some time to talk...
and have a cup of coffee with me.
- I asked him. - Oh, my.
- But he said in return, - Because she was his big fan.
"Why would I have coffee with you"?
(Listening carefully)
- I didn't do that. - Gosh.
She's totally exaggerating.
- "Why would I have coffee..." - Come on.
- Kim Gu Ra's personality issue. - Goodness.
- Hey. - Did he really?
- I didn't lie for a second. - Do you really think I said that?
- She must've exaggerated. - I didn't lie.
Since you're an anchor, please be honest with us.
- I'm being honest. - That's not true.
I'm serious. "Why would I have coffee with you"?
- Gosh, he totally embarrassed you. - Come on.
- And what happened after that? - It's a food court, right?
- There were so many people. - Of course.
I was extremely embarrassed that I couldn't keep cool.
"Look everyone, this lady over here wants to have coffee with me".
Is this what you said?
It would've been funny if she put it like that.
"Why would a mere anchor want to have coffee with me"?
"Do you think I'm out of my mind? Why would I have coffee with you"?
This is not what I said.
Please listen to me.
- Since then, - She has more to say.
I turned my back on you after that.
I don't hate him, but I don't like him anymore.
- Let me explain. - Do you get it?
- That's not it. - That wasn't nice.
Before Son Jung Eun became an anchor...
When she was still a college student, she appeared as...
- a guest on my Internet broadcast. - Internet broadcast.
- We go way back. - Is that so?
She once told me...
that she lives in Chongna District, Incheon.
- Yes, I live in Chongna, Incheon. - Yeom Kyung Hwan also lives there.
So I...
Why would you bring up Yeom Kyung Hwan again?
(Kyung Hwan is parasitic on Radio Star as he always does.)
- I remember that. - Kyung Hwan made his appearance.
We did meet.
- Why did you say that to me? - We met...
and she asked me to have coffee, but with a smile on my face I said,
"What coffee? See you some other time".
I didn't say, "Why would I have..."
- Wait, wait. - That also sounds unpleasant.
- That's a lie. - We've got to check the fact.
- What do you mean it's a lie? - How was his tone?
His voice was very loud.
"Why would I"?
"Why would I have coffee with you"?
- Am I really that kind of person? - No, you're not.
- I think Song Jung Eun is deeply... - I think...
into her role in the play.
"Why would I..."
I'm not that crazy jerk.
I was a crazy jerk back in the day.
- This is what I think. - I'm not that crazy anymore.
From Jung Eun's point of view, she could've been embarrassed.
I understand. But we met the other day...
- on the pedestrian overpass. - Really?
I said a sincere hello to him.
But he gave me such a halfhearted response.
What's wrong with you?
Everyone, when Son Jung Eun asks to have a cup of coffee with you,
make sure you say yes.
That's right.
- That's the way she won't get hurt. - That's right.
How about as Chongna residents, we have a little get-together?
With Yeom Kyung Hwan and me.
"Why would I have a get-together with you in Chongna"?
I understand.
- Good job. - Good job.
(This is how a fan turns into a hater.)
As much as his name, Kim Byung Hyun he is called as Kim Middle Finger.
I heard there are three reason for you to have that nickname.
I prepare a panel.
- It's yours. - Yes.
Young Mi is supposed to be in charge of panel,
but they still don't trust her.
- How come you don't trust me? - It's supposed to be her job.
I lost my job.
Yoon Jong Shin is way too veteran to do such a thing.
You're way too veteran for this.
- This is him at Red Sox. - Red Sox.
Look at him. He's giving finger with a smile.
Where did you do this? Is this airport?
- I think it was the airport. - Are you doing this to reporters?
He didn't do it just a day or two.
- It's a total habit. - Who are you giving the finger at?
Perhaps your middle finger doesn't bend?
(Doctor, please do something about my finger.)
As seen from today, Kim Byung Hyun seems...
so calm, but how angry were you...
that you ended up giving the finger at people?
I'm curious about what happened.
I was doing pretty well as a starting pitcher.
The team needed a finishing pitcher.
- They switched my position. - Right.
So I went along with it,
but the coach didn't trust me.
(He sacrificed, but the coach didn't trust him.)
And we lost the playoffs.
And we came back to our home stadium.
When they introduced me, the people in the stadium...
booed at me, I went, "Whatever"
and did it.
- "Whatever.' - "Whatever. Take this."
- That's how it happened. - Yes.
- I was just expressing my emotion. - Okay.
I didn't know that I was on the screen.
- You were on the screen. - Yes.
I feel so familiar to him.
(He showed the stadium, "mountain" in Chinese characters.)
When you flipped them off, what do your teammates say?
My teammate next to me saw me.
"Hey, you're on the screen."
- He saw that I was on the screen. - On the screen.
- You were on the screen. - He pulled down my hand.
Afterward, to cover up the incident,
did you use your middle finger to eat ketchup?
- "I always use that finger." - "It's a habit."
- Yes, you can say it was a habit. - You can pick your ears too.
- You can say that. - He can dip in gochujang like this.
Right.
- He can dance like this. - Yes, yes.
- That's enough. - By the way,
my oldest daughter uses the middle finger...
- to scratch itchy spots. - My gosh.
(The power of genetics is exceptional.)
That's really convincing.
I know that some people do use their middle finger to scratch.
- I didn't know this was possible. - Is that hereditary?
- Then, what about this one? - No, it's not.
In this photo, your eyes look scary.
- You in that photo... - What's this?
- look scarier than the other one. - I can let this slide,
but what happened here? Explain it to us.
Back then, without identifying their agencies to me first,
- they started taking photos of me. - I see.
- I told them to stop. - "Stop it. Don't take my photos."
They said that I was interfering with their work...
and that I might hit them.
- "You're going to hit me?" - So...
I said, "Should I show you?"
(Smiling)
You went through those arguments people have when they drink.
"Are you going to hit me?" "Okay. Hit me."
(A common sight in the back alley at dawn.)
Because of these scandals,
the reporters were taking my photos...
when I was heading out.
I went, "Darn it. Here I go."
(Laughing)
- And he flipped them off. - "Here I go."
"Darn it. Here I go."
- Personally... - But giving the middle finger...
In the US, close friends...
- do that to each other as a joke. - Right.
- It's not that serious. - It's when they are really close.
- You were not close with reporters. - When they are really close.
(Feeling embarrassed)
- He sat there so quietly. - Right.
- You never know when he'll lose it. - I know, right?
- Keep doing what you've been doing. - Right. Keep doing that.
If you keep doing your act, you don't know when he'll lose it.
- Okay. - We put tapes on his fingers.
- Right. - I see.
(He locks up his alter ego in himself.)
There were 3 stories. We listened to 2 stories. What about the last one?
Well, that one...
I attended law school...
- at Sungkyunkwan University. - That's why.
I see. You really went to law school?
I entered in 1997. I went to law school at Sungkyunkwan University.
What about the third one?
- My nickname is BK. - Right.
- Right. BK. - So that fits.
(The three stories make sense.)
- That's how you get your nickname. - Yes.
It looks like you were destined to be nicknamed as Middle Finger.
- You have a lot of stories. - He can't escape it.
Right, his nickname is BK too.
I'm sure you follow the law well in real life too.
(Sighing)
- What's he saying? - Is this how you'll do your job?
- Sure. - This was a nice way to wrap up.
You should flip him off at times like this.
(Unwrap the bandage.)
That hits the spot!
(Smiling broadly)
This is what I'm talking about. You were holding back a lot.
- He's on TV now. - That hits the spot.
I know you were a student athlete, but did you choose to study law?
- They get to choose their major. - Right.
- Why did you choose law? - He was a student athlete.
After I retire as a baseball player,
I wanted to become a physical education teacher,
so I wanted to study physical education at college.
But my coach said, "Go to law school,"
"make good friends, and build your network."
He said they will help me later.
- He wanted you to have connections. - So I went to law school.
- They could choose majors. - Back then, they could.
- Right. - So...
Dance would have been nice.
What?
- Byung Hyun's really patient today. - If he did that...
- He's holding back a lot today. - You should flip him off now.
That hits the spot!
- Nice. - He's holding back a lot.
Yes, this is what I'm talking about.
- People make you want to do it. - You should flip him off like that.
- He's asking for it. - How can he be an MC with this?
He told him to major in Dance.
- Unbelievable. - I have a point.
- You can stretch and be flexible. - Right.
Gosh, he's being really patient.
(His hands are sealed again.)
Sung Ryoung, you said that because of Jung Eun,
your fantasy about anchors was shattered.
I can still feel it now.
- She's eloquent and down-to-earth. - Right.
- She's not a typical anchor. - Right.
I was chosen as the anchor with the biggest gap between...
my image on TV and in real life by my department last year.
Really?
Tell us how you're different.
- What's unique about her? - Well...
- She's very friendly. - Right.
- And she tried out acting too. - Yes.
She's different in many ways.
She doesn't give any clear answers.
- She's casual about it. - Right.
She's just friendly. That's all.
I can understand her though.
- She keeps... - I bet that ruined your fantasy.
- I can fully understand. - I see.
- It's commendable she tried to act. - Right.
It's unprecedented that your TV station agreed to it.
She works for MBC.
- But that wasn't part of your job. - No, it wasn't.
Then does the MBC get your appearance fee?
Or do you get it?
I get the appearance fee,
- but I decided to donate it. - Right.
That wasn't one of the conditions.
- But I wanted to donate the money. - It was your idea.
Actually,
this all started from the crisis of anchors.
- The crisis? I see. - The anchors at my department...
- knew we were in a crisis. - Right.
- I'm sure everyone knows. - Right.
We had a very serious meeting...
on how we can expand our influence...
and turn ourselves into a brand.
In the end, the department decided that...
- they'd support our expansion. - I see.
- Go outside of your comfort zone. - At that time,
Kim Jung Hyun was almost cast...
- for a project. - Right.
Before the crisis, they would've rejected it right away.
But if he were to get another offer like that,
he could join the project after we discuss it.
But after he starred on our show, it shrank his influence.
- It backfired. - Well...
It totally shrank.
- I mean... - Shrinking influence.
(He couldn't have shrunk more than this.)
- Changing the way you think... - That's sad.
- is a nice step forward. - Yes, it's necessary too.
Actually, I'm a very free-spirited person.
I like making jokes with people and talking to people.
- But I can't do that on TV. - Right.
That's why starring on Radio Star was one of my wishes.
I'm really happy that I can laugh my head off here.
I want to laugh on TV shows like this.
- You laughed your head off. - Yes.
I hope we can laugh a lot.
Let's aim for dying with laughter.
(Show us that.)
- Dying with laughter. - I'll roll on the floor.
(The clips that will bust you into laughter are coming soon!)
Jung Eun, you said that...
you and Sung Ryoung...
are very similar. Can you elaborate on that?
- In her dramas, she's charismatic. - Yes.
When I'm reporting news...
"Hello, everyone. This is your eight o'clock news."
- Like this, I look charismatic. - You're charismatic.
But in real life, she's clumsy.
And she's talkative.
(Is that all?)
And I like chatting too.
And we talk a lot when we eat together.
That's one of the reasons.
You said you two were similar because both of you are chatty?
Yes, there's one more.
- One more? - She often says this.
"If I drank a lot of alcohol,"
"I probably gained a lot of weight..."
"because I love alcohol and side dishes."
But it's the same with me.
I can't handle that much alcohol, but if do end up drinking a lot,
I would've gained a lot of weight because of the side dishes.
- I also thought of this often. - So this is why?
- It's incredible. I got goosebumps. - I don't think that was valid.
- Well, you know... - They're just chatty.
These don't sound that convincing.
- But... Right. - I got goosebumps.
- That's why? I see. - Run this on "Surprise Mystery TV."
My gosh, that was amazing.
What will be your stance from now on?
Are you aiming to be like Oh Young Sil?
- Little Oh Young Sil? - Well...
"Little Oh Young Sil"?
Why not?
Why not? She's in plays and does everything.
- Right. - She does.
- What's wrong with her? - She's a free agent.
Whenever she's on other TV shows,
she almost dies laughing.
- Is that so? - That's what I meant.
- She and Oh Young Sil are similar. - That's true.
- Oh Young Sil is on other projects. - But I'm similar to Sung Ryoung.
So you're Little Kim Sung Ryoung.
I like her. I really like her.
From our point of view, she's following Young Sil's path.
- She said no. It's Sung Ryoung's. - They are on the same path.
(She's in a lonely battle with her dream of becoming like Sung Ryoung.)
Byung Hyun, you're a fan of Radio Star.
- You said you skip our episodes... - Who is it?
if these guest star on our show. Please elaborate.
The episodes with athletes weren't funny.
(He's honest.)
- So I was... - When Choo Shin Soo came...
to our show, that episode did well.
But it wasn't entertaining.
(He's firm.)
(Groaning)
- The jokes weren't my style. - Not your style?
Then do you find this entertaining?
"Why would I?" Did you like that?
- What's your style? - That was pretty funny.
(He's honest and down-to-earth.)
Byung Hyun, do you envy Park Chan Ho the most?
Yes, lately, he's been...
- He's famous for talking too much. - Yes.
It looks like he's putting up a favorable image these days.
(That wasn't expected.)
- Right. - That's it.
But he's not nice in real life?
It looks like people are favorable toward him.
When an MC asks him...
what he's been up to, he talks for five minutes by himself.
Right.
(His blunt remark will end the game.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star with guests...
who will show us a whole new side of them.
We'll start today's discussion, "A Whole New Me".
All right.
Sung Ryoung, you've played many different characters.
But you've never a role like yours in "Misery"?
Actually,
this is my first time. How should I put it?
My character is intense.
And I have to scream a lot.
Well, that's my role.
Your character clings...
- onto the guy way too much. - Yes, she does cling onto him.
But even if you scream,
I don't think you'll scare me.
Can you demonstrate how you deliver your lines?
- No. No. - How you do it in the play?
- "No"? - Show them how you scream.
- I mean... - This is hard.
- Hey, Gook Jin. That's hard. - You won't promote your play?
- Then, personality-wise, - This is hard for her.
do you cling onto people?
- Everyone clings onto something. - Personally,
I cling onto the leftover food.
- Really? - She can't stand it.
- Then what do you do? - Do you finish the food?
- Do you eat that? What do you do? - So...
So I eat the leftover food.
- Really? - Really?
Because I nag people for not finishing food,
the staff says...
- I'm like their mother. - Right.
She always gets that.
Today, in the waiting room, someone from the staff said...
he was going to buy a lot of coffee.
She said, "Don't buy a lot. Just buy one for everyone."
(She's precise.)
- "We can't waste coffee." - "Or I have to drink the leftover."
- "Okay." - She's impressive.
She's obsessed with that.
This happened to me before.
My portion has gotten smaller since I don't have an appetite.
When I went to a restaurant, the restaurant owner...
gave me a whole pie of pizza for free.
- How could I finish everything? - Right.
"No, no. That's okay. Please take it back."
- What am I supposed to do? - Right.
- My hands are tied, you know. - "Why would I receive this?"
- I'm serious. That's true. - "Why would I?"
That really happened.
Instead of leaving food,
- I'd rather send it back. - But...
- you can give that to someone else. - Exactly.
But if I give people my leftover food, they'd say,
- "Why give me leftover food?" - Right.
- That might happen. - You should give a new one.
You shouldn't eat it when you get free food.
But what if I want a slice?
My gosh, you're so greedy.
That's why I won't eat it.
- My gosh, he's like a kid. - Or...
- when you give that to someone, - I'd rather not eat.
you can ask for a slice. You can do that.
- No, no. - "Take a slice."
Jung Eun, you tried out acting...
- in the drama, "The Banker". - Yes.
Actually, the director of the drama...
is a friend from college.
We majored in the same subject.
We met in the lobby on the first floor by chance.
He said, "Jung Eun, you're not reporting news anymore."
"Try acting."
And he gave me a role...
of a manager at Financial Supervisory Service.
- I see. - I was a villain.
I said I loved it...
and I wanted to try it out.
That's how I ended up in the drama.
You are new to acting, but you are better than this actor.
I kept reading the online comments when the drama was airing.
- At first, there were compliments. - Right.
But later on, they...
People online are vicious. They are cruel.
People started to write hateful comments.
And one of the comments stood out to me.
What did it say?
"She's better than Oh Sang Jin."
(Did you have to beat me to feel better?)
- I was comforted. - "She's better than Oh Sang Jin."
That's a relief. Beating one person is considered lucky.
(You're so lucky.)
Sung Ryoung, when you read...
comments from an article,
you sighed right away.
"Misery" is famous for the main character's obsession.
And they know that I'll be locking up the guy.
Someone wrote,
"If she locks me up, I'll just live there."
(If she locks me up, I'll just live there.)
(An unexpected happy ending)
- I got it. - Right.
This is why I was curious...
- how she deliver her lines earlier. - I'm curious.
- Right. - Actually,
it's scarier when a beautiful lady becomes obsessed with you.
- That's true. - In a way, that's true.
- I'm serious. Of course. - It's a different kind of misery.
- It's creepier. And I felt it... - Right.
- during the rehearsal. - Of course.
I can't deliver my lines here,
but should I make a pig's sound?
All of a sudden?
- All of a sudden? What is... - But...
- She felt bad about that. - A pig's sound.
- She felt bad. - Just now...
I thought...
I was watching a traditional performance.
"I can't do that,"
"but should I make a pig's sound?"
(She sounds like an old local.)
(Laughing)
- That was odd. - Young Mi.
Your head is in the way. Sit down.
Don't crouch down there. Sit down.
- Sit down. - And...
the drummer has to say this,
"All right."
Let me tell you about Misery.
Misery is a name of a pig.
This is what I said to Misery.
I told Misery that Paul Sheldon was at my house.
Do you know what Misery said?
(Oinking)
(What was that?)
Goodness.
That's the line?
Yes, that's in the play.
There's a scene with the pig's sound.
She has to make the pig's sound for every show.
- Okay. I'm okay now. - Okay.
Gosh, I can't promote my play.
(We're looking forward to Sung Ryoung's "Misery".)
Byung Hyun, recently, you've become...
- a baseball commentator at MBC. - Yes.
(Here's Byung Hyun, the Commentator!)
(Wait, that's about me.)
(His blunt remarks and unique sense of humor left many famous lines.)
(Is this how it looks if a local guy commentates on a baseball game?)
(Laughing)
Did you really start commentating because of Ryu Hyun Jin?
- He's doing a fantastic job. - Yes.
So when I watched him play,
I wished that I could play like him...
during my time in the US a long time ago.
- I live vicariously through him. - I see.
That's why I get into the game when I commentate.
So you're saying that you're envious...
- of his likability by the public... - Right.
and his ability to stay composed, right?
Of those qualities you've never had?
Back then, I had no idea.
I had no idea that I had fans...
- and they were interested in me. - It was the early phase...
- Korean baseball players. - I didn't know.
I went to the US all of a sudden...
- in my second year of college. - That's when you went.
But as for Hyun Jin,
- he worked his way up... - He played in Korea first.
- from Korea. - Right.
And he knows that the people in Korea...
are rooting for him.
As for me,
when I came back to Korea, I didn't know...
why people were welcoming me.
- I didn't know who they are. - I see.
So I was hostile toward them.
"I don't know him. Why is he doing that?"
- "What is this?" - They kept following me.
"What's happening?"
- I didn't know about that. - That's how I felt.
His commentary is so popular that some of his lines...
- already became famous quotes. - Right.
It was when Hyun Jin...
struck out Bumgarner who was the pitcher...
in his opposing team with various combinations.
Back in the days,
throwing a breaking ball to the pitchers...
was considered hurting your pride.
- But he had a strikeout. - Right.
I'm glad.
- That's what you said. - Yes.
But Bumgarner is a great batter.
- Yes, he is. - Right.
He's good. A while ago, Greinke...
- hit a home-run off Kershaw. - Yes.
- You know your baseball. - Pitchers are great batters now.
- The second quote. - Right.
"Hyun Jin's play isn't fun."
(I see.)
- Because no one can hit his ball? - Because he's good?
- Because he's that good? - I mean...
When you said that, Kim Sun Woo, the commentator, was flustered.
To tell you the truth, Byung Hyun's play was fun.
When his team was winning, he let them rock a home-run.
Seriously.
- It's dynamic. - That happened a lot.
(Byung Hyun was the closer before winning the World Series.)
(A home-run that turned the table around)
(In a daze)
- They hit a home-run. - Right. There was a home-run.
- He had to strike the batter out. - Right.
He should've made the batter swing, but he didn't.
His game was the most exciting game.
That's true. That's why your play is memorable.
- I see. Is that so? Thank you. - And you crouched down too.
In that sense, Hyun Jin's game is boring.
- I'm at ease when I watch it. - Right.
- It's boring because he's too good. - He's a good pitcher.
I can already guess how well he's going to do.
You were banned from doing something when you were commentating.
Because Hyun Jin did a great job like I expected,
I clapped,
but it got mixed up with the audio.
(Hyun Jin was the starting pitcher.)
- It's happening once again. - There it goes!
(Two of the players were out.)
Hyun Jin closed the inning as the opposing team scores nothing.
(Clapping)
(He claps out of happiness.)
The producer called on me.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kim."
"But please stop clapping."
He told you not to clap.
- The broadcast might seem partial. - Yes, yes.
- But... - He told me not to do it.
isn't it impossible to be impartial during Hyun Jin's games?
- But still. - Right.
There are MLB fans in Korea.
- There are some people. - Really?
- Some might root for another team. - That's a possibility.
I wanted to make it feel like I was watching...
- the game with the viewers. - Right. That's right.
I liked that he clapped.
- But he shouldn't clap too often. - Right.
I'll take that into consideration.
Yes, take that into consideration. All right.
Chang Hee, you were able...
to star in the hit drama, "Mr. Sunshine"...
all thanks to the actor, Lee Dong Wook.
He knew that I wanted to get into acting.
He said that he could set up a meeting with the drama crew.
- With the writer? - Yes.
He had a fan-meet in Tokyo, Japan.
He said that everyone was supposed to come.
He told me to come to Japan too.
I flew there with Sae Ho.
I went to the meeting and introduced myself.
That's how I had the meeting.
During the meeting, I wanted to show them my talents.
But I get really shy about that.
- I can't do it. I'm shy too. - Right.
So I was quiet during the meeting.
Sae Ho...
kept promoting himself.
He didn't want to be in the drama.
- He just wanted to be funny. - Right.
- He wanted to make them laugh. - He's so clueless.
He kept making jokes the whole time.
During the meeting, I felt...
- I should be more proactive. - I see. You felt it.
When that crossed my mind,
I drank a bit.
And I tried to promote myself too.
The director...
- told me to lose weight. - I see.
- Then, he'd consider me. - The director said that?
Imagine after you lost weight. "You're healthy now, aren't you?"
So...
Maybe, he didn't mean anything by it.
- "Looks like you have bad knees." - No.
"You don't seem healthy."
"See? You're healthy now, aren't you?"
- So... - "Congratulations."
I went on a diet for three months.
- How many kilograms did you lose? - I lost 16kg.
After dropping 16kg, the director...
- wanted to see me, so I went. - Imagine he said,
"Why did you lose so much weight?"
- "You look so skinny." - He might've forgotten about it.
- By the way, this is what he said. - You lost a lot of weight.
"Don't you feel healthy these days?" He really said it.
He really said that.
- "Aren't you healthy now?" - Really?
"You look so healthy now."
- "See? You look great now." - He really said that?
- "Let's do it." - Goodness.
"You kept your promise, and I'll keep mine."
- And he put me in the drama. - My gosh.
- Really? - So he gave me the role.
I'm really grateful to the director.
Did he say anything to Sae Ho?
He didn't even call Sae Ho.
"Sae Ho was funny."
Right. He was funny.
(Don't cry, you fool.)
Chang Hee, in the beginning of the drama, "Mr. Sunshine",
people said your acting needed to improve.
- "Why is he in the drama?" - Right.
With one scene, you were able...
to put an end to people's disapproval.
- What's the scene? - Really?
- Is there a scene like that? - Yes.
- I... - I don't remember.
I read every comment.
Nowadays, you can read the comments live.
- That's right. - Like I expected, someone wrote,
"He's messing up the drama."
That's what it said.
- The cast was amazing. - "He's messing up the drama."
- Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri. - "Why is he there?"
I was the guy who messed up the drama.
But in the second half of the drama,
when the Japanese soldiers were firing at the Korean people,
I couldn't hold back my anger.
I said, "You scumbags!"
I screamed...
and fought with the Japanese soldiers.
With that scene,
people said I didn't mess up the drama anymore.
- "He's not an obstacle anymore." - My gosh.
They said the drama was complete now.
- "The puzzle was complete." - My gosh.
- I was the one who completed it. - I see.
You were messing up this episode too,
but you just made up for it.
- That cleared up the frustration. - I was wondering...
- why Chang Hee wasn't funny. - Right.
- It happened just now. - That cleared up the frustration.
And I'd like to say this on the show.
At one point, I became...
the symbol of failure and wrong decisions.
- Really? - But...
It was before "Infinite Challenge".
I used to work...
- on the shows with Jae Seok. - Right, you were his sidekick.
- You played sports with him. - Yes, that's right.
I was always in his group.
And MBC started to air "Infinite Challenge".
But I wasn't part of the show.
Jae Seok tried to push for me.
Things didn't work out,
so I decided to go to the army.
The cast had been decided.
People said that I refused to be on "Infinite Challenge"...
and went to the army...
because my previous programs have been unsuccessful.
On SNS, people talk about...
my wrong choices.
Insurance salespeople and such...
use my examples.
- It's in their portfolio. - Yes.
I could show you.
The importance of choices.
I took a screenshot. I can show it to you.
- The importance of choices. - That's right.
- It became a learning material. - That's right.
Since a lot of people think it's true,
I want to make this clear on TV.
- Chang Hee. - Yes?
- Will it take long? - No, I am nearly done.
Why is it taking so long?
- You can hand it over later. - Okay.
Chang Hee, hand it over later.
- Chang Hee, hand it over later. - Seriously.
- The screenshot... - Chang Hee.
I will hand it over later.
(He thought the show would fail and went to the army.)
(That show is "Infinite Challenge".)
This didn't go well either.
Why can't I find it?
His talk was beginning to go well.
People will talk about this as well. "Chang Hee always does this."
- The importance of choices. - Yes.
("Nam Chang Hee Fails to Make People Laugh")
Jung Eun, you thought about getting a Botox injection...
because of Kim Sang Joong.
I played a team leader of Financial Supervisory Service.
"I am from Financial Supervisory Service."
You couldn't stop blinking.
Since I felt awkward and couldn't act very well,
I kept moving my eyebrows while trying to be good.
Sang Joong said, "Don't move your eyebrows."
(Don't move your eyebrows.)
- "Look ahead." - "Appear cold."
He told me to appear cold.
You didn't move your eyebrows when you were an anchor.
- Yes, I did. - Did you move your eyebrows?
"This is MBC news."
- It's a habit. - "Today..."
It's a habit that comes out when I stress something.
- An emphasis. - "Today, the government..."
That's when my eyebrows go up.
There is a tone I use.
For example...
"This is an emergency audit from Financial Supervisory Service."
I should have said it like that.
When I deliver news,
- I put an emphasis. - You put an emphasis.
It's a habit I have.
"This is an emergency audit from Financial Supervisory Service."
It's breaking news.
I feel like there will be a caption.
(She delivers breaking news in a drama.)
This is an emergency audit from Financial Supervisory Service.
("An Emergency Audit Occurs in the Middle of the Drama")
I do that when I act.
- I raise my eyebrows. - When I acted for the first time,
there was a scene in which I met a woman.
I should have just said, "Hello."
But I said, "I am very pleased to meet you."
- What was that? - It's understandable.
I mean...
- I really did that. - Really?
- I was used to hosting. - That's right.
- "That's right." - Your habits came out.
That's how I acted.
You could have put an emphasis on "Financial Supervisory Service".
I still shouldn't put an unnecessary emphasis.
I kept raising my eyebrows.
She isn't talking about "Misery", but "The Banker".
I know!
(I know!)
- He knows. - She's a stethoscope.
She suddenly reminded me.
(She's suddenly examining the talk with a stethoscope.)
- Ask the next question. - I see.
(Stop laughing and ask questions.)
She is late by a tempo when she laughs.
- Let us laugh and have fun! - No, no.
- We need to go home. - You told me not to interrupt.
No, no.
Move on to ask the next question.
Sung Ryoung is suffering from metal allergy.
- No, we have no time to waste. - It's itchy.
All right. Sung Ryoung, I heard that...
Jung Eun makes you worried during practice.
When we practice acting,
she waits for her turn in front of me.
When I say my lines, she repeats them.
"Does she want to take my place..."
"if something happens to me?"
- She is waiting for her chance. - You were like, "Hold on."
- Why do you do that? - Sung Ryoung, I...
Maybe she will push me down the stairs one day.
Sung Ryoung, I...
It's really like "Misery".
As a junior actress,
you should just watch quietly.
- Why do you do that? - To be honest,
my character, the sheriff, has...
a calm tone.
Chang Hee swore and shouted earlier.
I want to deliver...
- that kind of energy. - You want to play those characters.
I want to play those characters.
Annie shouts at top of her voice.
- She shouts a lot. - Yes. I want to do that,
so I copied the lines without thinking.
May I say the lines here?
Annie's lines.
Let's hear her say Annie's lines.
- Go ahead. That sounds great. - All right.
I will deliver news...
and transform into the character.
You will deliver news first.
(She gets absorbed in her emotions.)
(Let's go!)
Hello, everyone. This is MBC news.
Anchor Son Jung Eun of MBC will star in a play, "Misery".
Although her character is Sheriff Buster,
she has her eyes on another character, Annie.
You vile man.
How could you kill Misery?
How could you kill Misery Chastain?
(They have no words.)
I will end it here.
I got goosebumps.
- I got goosebumps. - Why?
- Why? - What?
I just felt embarrassed.
(I just felt embarrassed.)
It wasn't that bad.
- It wasn't that bad. - Turn off the air conditioner.
It's too cold.
(If you have a cold, don't watch Son Jung Eun's performance.)
I feel secondhand embarrassment.
I got goosebumps.
- You know, - Her performance was good.
a specialty is a success...
if it makes people feel embarrassed.
- That's what I think. - I am worried.
- Don't be worried. - The viewers only see me...
- as an anchor. - No, no.
That's not true.
Gu Ra's comforting words give me secondhand embarrassment too.
(Gu Ra's comforting words give me secondhand embarrassment too.)
- Don't say that. - Who would have imagined them...
- from Gu Ra? - Seriously. He is trying too hard.
These days, you can't be good at everything.
There are many ways you can make people laugh.
The more you explain, the more embarrassed I feel.
- To be honest... - It would be better if you swear.
Seriously.
I want to continue to act.
(Turning)
(No one has seen this kind of a wrist performance.)
What was that?
(Why do we need to suffer this kind of embarrassment?)
Did you have a meal?
Are you serious?
(She is reenacting Lee Byung Hun's scene.)
I will stop here.
How was it? How was it?
I feel chills down my spine.
I can literally feel my cells alive.
Then she succeeded.
She made you feel something.
Chang Hee, you once got cast because of a misunderstanding.
Back in the days...
when there was "Bestseller Theater",
I got cast as an important character.
At a get-together after the shoot, the producer said,
"I enjoyed your movie, 'Tears'."
He mistook you for Bong Tae Gyu.
I see the resemblance.
My mouth is less protruded now because I got braces.
When I had a protruding mouth, people told me that
- I resemble Bong Tae Gyu. - I see the resemblance.
You do look like him.
Tae Gyu was a newly-debuted actor,
so people didn't know his name.
"I cast you because I enjoyed 'Tears'."
Since Tae Gyu wasn't famous back then,
I just said, "Thank you."
Did you let him believe that you are Bong Tae Gyu?
How was I supposed to correct him?
I just played along.
"Was Bong Tae Gyu's performance this mediocre?"
Back then, I could act very well.
- Really? - Yes.
I received high praises.
People used to confuse you...
- and Phan Yu Geol. - Phan Yu Geol.
And Donnie Yen, too.
That was the funniest.
You do look like him.
(I can play a double for action movies.)
It's really funny.
Chang Hee, you are unpopular in the drama industry.
Since I am shy, I get uncomfortable if there are a lot of people.
When there are get-togethers and parties...
- Don't you attend them? - You don't attend them.
Those events are really hard for me.
You don't know where to situate yourself.
- I don't even know where to sit. - You don't know...
- where to sit. - I came straight home a few times.
- You couldn't stand the atmosphere. - No.
I couldn't fit in.
From what I hear from people in the movie industry,
actors hang out by themselves.
- Really? - When I go to an event...
as a music director,
I can't mingle with actors.
It's like that.
- Really? - I drank with light directors.
- Staff can be more comfortable. - I was a staff member anyway.
There is a wall.
- That's right. - In that situation,
drinking quickly to adjust to the atmosphere...
can lead to a disaster.
That's right. "I learned how to act!"
- That's right. - "I used to be bad at it!"
Then you will end up crying later on.
You will end up crying later on.
- I did that many times. - That's right.
"Would you like to see?"
"I resemble Donnie Yen."
Then the director would go,
"Send Chang Hee home."
When I wasn't used to variety shows,
I always got wasted...
- at the end of the get-together. - That's right.
"I hope I never see you again, you son of a..."
(Please hold yourself back even if you want to do something.)
(It was hard for her to adjust to variety shows.)
I didn't see that producer again.
- I didn't get invited to shows. - "Hey, send Young Mi home."
- I am familiar with his story. - You shouldn't get drunk...
at those events.
- Good job. - When I go to get-togethers...
- He usually doesn't go. - I usually don't go.
When I go, I sit at a corner.
You sit at a corner.
He sits where the sitting cushions are.
- The sitting cushions. - The place where they are piled up.
The place where they are piled up.
When the sitting cushions pile up and I become invisible,
I sneak a peek...
and go home.
(He escapes when no one is looking.)
Byung Hyun, among Korean baseball players,
you received the highest amount of money.
You received 2,250,000 dollars...
and debuted in the Major League Baseball.
- Since you earned money suddenly, - He was young.
you didn't know how to use it.
At first, I sent all the money to my parents.
After 4 or 5 years...
- You became a free agent. - Yes. My father told me that...
I can stop sending money...
since the family is well-off.
- "Use the money for yourself." - "You are an adult now."
I suddenly got a lot of money.
I donated it a lot.
- Really? - I donated it to people I know.
I see. You got swindled.
- You got swindled. - "There is a good business item."
You got swindled.
You paid for a life lesson.
Since I like music a lot,
- I bought an expensive speaker. - An audio system.
When I brought it home,
I realized that it doesn't go well with the house.
- So you changed the house. - Did you buy a new house?
- Yes. - He bought a new house.
- Did you buy a new house? - Yes.
How big was your house when you were in the US?
The first house had a swimming pool.
Byung Hyun, how much was...
your annual income?
I got over 20 million dollars.
- I see. - I don't know for sure.
I never came up with the exact amount.
After your team's victory in the World Series,
you got invited to the White House.
That's right. At the time, the President was...
- George W. Bush. - George W. Bush.
He was the owner of a Texas baseball team.
I met the president, greeted each other...
and had a tour around the White House.
Did President Bush know about your home run?
- He said something to me, - You didn't understand.
but I had gone without an interpreter.
- Gosh. - You went to the White House alone.
- He said something to me, - My goodness.
but I didn't understand.
(He didn't understand what the president said.)
Byung Hyun, you often lose your belongings.
You even lost your passport one time.
Back then,
I should have joined the team...
for the World Baseball Classic.
- That's right. I remember that. - I couldn't do that in 2009.
- Was it because of the passport? - It was unintentional.
- Was it because of the passport? - Yes.
- I thought, - Because he lost his passport?
"That man, Kim Byung Hyun, is hopeless."
I remember that.
- I remember that. - I simple-mindedly thought...
I would be able to get my passport reissued...
and join the team in the next few days.
How did the national team do...
in the World Baseball Classic?
- The national team came in second. - I see.
- They did fine without me. - It's an impressive feat.
Did you lose the World Series ring?
The one from 2001?
I lost both rings at first.
Did you lose the World Series ring?
The one from 2001?
(The 2001 World Series ring, the 2004 World Series ring)
I lost both rings at first.
- Did you find one? - I found one inside the trunk.
- In the trunk? - How did it get there?
How did it get inside the trunk of the car?
I sent the car I drove in the US to Korea.
The ring was inside the boxes.
I found it by chance.
Did you find the one from 2001?
I found both rings.
I moved four months ago. When I moved,
- there were too many boxes. - Did you lose them again?
- I lost one of them. - It will turn up.
I am sure it will turn up.
Weren't you going to donate the ring?
I couldn't do that because I lost it.
The related personnel must have been flustered.
They say, "Give us the ring." You say, "I forgot it."
- What do you do in that situation? - I am sorry,
but it's "I lost it."
Okay.
- My goodness. - Everyone understood me.
It's not "Forgot," but "Lost"
- I see. - "I lost it."
I hope Gu Ra and Jung Eun have a fight.
Shouldn't you say, "What are you, an anchor?"
- "What are you, an anchor?" - But she is an actual anchor.
"What are you, an anchor?"
I get annoyed when you pick on me because you aren't even an anchor.
You don't have basic knowledge.
(It's fun to pick on Gu Ra.)
Sung Ryoung, you had a traumatic experience about lines.
I was in a play called "Art".
My character...
had a monologue which spanned...
over a page and a half.
The first performance went well,
so I became ambitious.
"Let's say it with more speed."
- You wanted to pick up the speed. - The second performance...
became a traumatic experience.
I forgot my line.
- Because you tried too much. - What do you do during a play?
Since the monologue was so long,
- I couldn't even remember... - What did you do then?
- where I forgot my line. - My goodness.
I said, "I don't know what to do."
Did you say that out loud?
(Yes.)
"I don't know what to do."
If you are singing, you can do this.
You can pass the microphone to the audience.
If you are in a play, you can't do anything.
- Seriously. - Had it been a dialogue,
- I would have used an ad-lib. - That's right.
- What did you do? - My partner was Jin Kyung.
Jin Kyung realized that...
I was completely out of it.
"All right, Kyung Sook. Tell me about the wedding gifts."
Instead of listening to my monologue,
she hinted where I left off.
I resumed from there.
That experience was so traumatic...
that I stayed on guard...
throughout the next two months.
That scares me the most.
When you are on the stage, you can't say, "Let's do a retake."
There are no retakes.
- If you forget your line... - Sometimes,
such things are allowed...
if the play is funny and cheerful.
But "Misery" is an incredibly serious play.
- It's a thriller. - I can't use that tactic.
I hope you don't do that this time.
Okay.
(He wrapped things up cleanly.)
- Let's move on. - Okay.
(My goodness.)
- Let's move on. - That's right.
She got out of the trouble. Then it's done.
- You should move things along. - I see.
Okay.
When you are on the stage, you hang on thanks to supplements.
Now that I am old,
I take supplements for my brain.
You are forgetful, right?
- Yes. - You don't remember easy words.
That's right.
When you asked me a question earlier,
there was a small pause because of that.
I don't think that's the case.
I think you really forgot.
Jung Eun, when you practice acting,
you get most worried about a scene in which you get shot.
That sounds hard.
Show us how you die.
Show us the struggles...
- the anchor-turned-actress faces. - That's right.
Which camera should I look at?
Since this is my first variety show, I don't know where to look.
You can look ahead.
- Put yourself at ease. - Think of us as the audience.
- Put yourself at ease. - Okay.
(The anchor's performance of getting shot)
My goodness.
I can't believe it.
You were alive.
(Swaying)
(Grunting)
(She collapses.)
My goodness.
(They feel secondhand embarrassment.)
- My goodness. - That was funny.
That was funny.
It's a good specialty.
I am glad you showed us.
How does one get shot at in comedy?
In comedy?
- It won't be easy. - How does one get shot?
It won't be easy.
(Expectant)
(Young Mi begins to get shot at.)
She doesn't die.
She is too absorbed in this.
My goodness.
She doesn't die.
(She becomes a zombie.)
She is a zombie.
(She takes out her secret weapon.)
(Take this.)
("Young Mi Told the Producer, 'You Should Get Your Suit Ready'")
All right.
(Her finale is on another level.)
You know,
if you are in a difficult situation, this is the way to go.
That's right.
It saved her performance.
Without it, I would have said, "I fooled you!"
Good job.
Chang Hee, you turned into a DJ of a radio show.
You are a temporary DJ who will work for six months.
Yoon Jung Soo and I aren't...
well-liked.
The producers like us,
- but the higher-ups don't like us. - I see.
Thus, we said, "Let us work for six months."
Most radio shows last six months.
"Let's sign a contract for six months."
We started the radio show...
with 180 episodes in mind.
One episode gets deducted at a time.
- It gets deducted. - That's how it works.
The last one will be Episode One.
- That's interesting. - That's how it works.
You burned the bridge.
That's right. We put our lives on the line.
- MBC? - No, it's KBS.
MBC wouldn't have hired them in the first place.
You say the producers said the higher-ups don't like you,
but it's an excuse.
They always do that.
They always use the higher-ups as an excuse.
- Really? - This isn't the best choice,
but they compromise.
They blame the president of the broadcasting company.
"President Kim doesn't like you much."
- Is that how it is? - They are talking about themselves.
- That's how it is. - The producer of my radio show...
thinks of me as his muse.
He has to see you every day.
Why would he say he doesn't like you?
(Gu Ra slanders the producer.)
Sung Ryoung, at the age 40,
you entered the university.
The most memorable lesson was...
an animal imitation.
One assignment...
from the professor...
was imitating an animal.
I thought an eagle would be unique.
I wanted to choose an animal no one else would choose.
My professor was like,
"What in the world are you doing?"
- That's how he reacted. - Yes.
The students got it right.
- They said I am imitating an eagle. - An eagle.
- How did you imitate it? - Let us guess.
It will be really hard.
We won't remember that you chose an eagle.
Even though we know,
- we will guess. - I don't remember.
I don't remember. Eagles don't move much.
They look for a prey.
(She turns her head.)
- Isn't that an owl? - They turn their heads like that.
That's right.
That's it. That's the performance.
- I thought you would make a sound. - How did they get it right?
Those students are geniuses.
The two of them are similar.
They like to turn their body parts.
(They like to turn their body parts.)
Jung Eun, you said...
you once bawled because of anchor Oh Sang Jin.
- Sang Jin... - He cried a lot on the show.
- sat here. - That's right. He cried a lot.
- He sat here and cried. - Yes.
- We were really startled. - That's right.
(Sang Jin went freelance as the result of a strike in MBC...)
(and visited MBC after a long hiatus.)
(It makes me emotional to come back home.)
My goodness.
I watched the episode at home.
I could feel his emotions.
It made me remember my past six years.
I couldn't stop my tears.
- You cried that night. - Yes.
I could feel his sincerity.
I knew everything...
about his situation.
I knew about his struggles.
I knew about the anchors who left.
I bawled as I watched the episode.
Did you call him the next day and said,
- "Did you cry as well?" - Yes.
I told him, "I cried a lot, too."
I was in Public Welfare Contribution for about a year and a half...
during the six years I couldn't be on broadcast.
Did you contribute a lot?
I was...
on that team,
and I worked too hard.
You work hard when you do something.
I work too hard with whatever I do.
I had to plan the delivery ceremony...
of Infinity Challenge scholarship.
But I can't host the ceremony.
I had to call another junior of mine to host the ceremony.
The reality of not being able to do anything,
- it was... - Because of Sang Jin.
Yes, I remember crying all night.
It was sad.
I'm afraid this kind of story isn't for Radio Star.
No.
We like that kind of story.
- Was I being too serious? - We thought you'd cry.
- This will not be edited out. - I thought you were going to cry.
This whole story will be on air.
I was able to hold it today, but I cried again...
- while talking to the writer here. - My gosh.
It would've been better if you cried now.
I kept watching her carefully as I was expecting her to cry.
(We wish you keep on being on broadcast.)
- Son Jung Eun, - Yes.
as someone who loves MBC,
you have a favor to ask for Jong Shin?
Is this about the theme song?
Right?
You already know.
- I like the theme song, - Yes.
I've heard it so many times but it's not catchy.
Right. It's not catchy. Every one tells us that.
I can't memorize it at all.
- I see what you mean. - This...
Right.
It just can't...
- compete with this sound. - But...
- it's supposed to be artistic. - Is it?
- It's something to appreciate. - We actually...
covered the theme song on our show.
It's not catchy.
- Don't they try to change the song? - What's the theme song right now?
- Don't you know? - I don't know it.
- See, it's not catchy enough. - It should be more catchy.
- And it's not. - Many of other...
idol group members sang it.
(Jong Shin sang it,)
(Henry and Hwa Sa sang it,)
(Joe Won Sun sang it,)
(but it doesn't make you sing along.)
The old theme song was...
just like this at first.
No, it wasn't.
- It's going to blow up later. - Is it?
It'll top the charts later.
- MBC's theme song will be. - A theme song on the charts?
Sure.
Byung Hyun, you became the CEO of a restaurant business...
other than a commentator.
Other than the things you told us...
I heard you have a sushi restaurant in America.
- Does he have more than one? - Yes.
Which restaurants do you run?
I had the sushi restaurant since 2004.
- In America? - Yes.
- In San Diego. - Yes, I started in San Diego.
Then I opened a Japanese ramen place.
- Really? - A ramen restaurant.
And there's also a Thai restaurant.
- That's a lot. - That's in Haebangchon.
Are you going after Hong Suk Chun?
- You have a lot of them. - He does.
Which restaurant is...
- the most popular? - Which one is doing best?
I'd say the sushi restaurant in San Diego...
since it has been open for 15 years.
I should go try next year.
- Yes, anytime. - Yes.
- Do you give discounts? - A hundred percent discount.
- A hundred percent? - A hundred percent?
That's for free.
That's not a discount, that's giving out for free.
I've never heard of a hundred percent discount.
- Right. - Right.
What goal do you have for the future?
I want to sell burgers at baseball parks.
- At baseball parks. - He has plans.
What should I do?
Just like that?
You can keep acting!
- You should act. - You should act.
But I want to do something.
I'm bored.
- Well... - Did you say you're bored?
Be on variety shows, then.
(Be on variety shows, then.)
Byung Hyun, you don't use your name...
on any of your restaurants.
- Smart move. - That's because...
the customers should come for the food.
If they come to my restaurants...
to see me,
it would give them prejudices.
I wanted to judge by the taste of the food.
So there's not a picture of you at all?
- Not at all. - Is that so?
- You don't use your name, - Yes.
but you do deliver to baseball parks yourself?
I once went to deliver at a game...
between KIA and SK.
That was to fill up the opponent players...
and make them lose.
- I see. - Yes.
- To make them feel sleepy? - It was a strategy.
- If we appoint you, - Yes.
do you deliver yourself?
"I'm going to order 60 of your menu,"
"and I'd like Kim Byung Hyun to come deliver for me."
"Is 100 percent discount possible?"
(It's a tough business.)
There's a lot of seniors that adore Chang Hee...
including Yu Jae Seok and Park Myung Soo.
- Jae Seok likes him a lot. - Yes.
I heard you analyzed the reasons they like you...
down to three reasons.
I analyzed it in three perspectives.
Why do they like me?
First,
I go when they call me.
I'm not good at refusing.
- So I just be there. - Yes.
And I'm the most popular one...
among the people who would be there.
Yes.
- So you're valuable. - I'm valuable.
I'm useful when they call me.
Because people know who Nam Chang Hee is.
And when I'm there,
I may not make a big hit,
but I at least do an average. That's the third reason.
You're cost-effective.
Yes, at least I don't ruin it.
Those three reasons worked in harmony,
and it's easier for them to call me.
I think that's why they like me.
- That's just my opinion. - He's very persuasive.
I'm one of the seniors who like Chang Hee,
and the reason I like him is...
because he's depressed.
(I like him because he's depressed.)
It feels like...
So he gives you confidence every time I see him.
(Does he give them confidence?)
- Why me? - You give them confidence.
Why me?
Every time I call him,
he's in low spirits.
He's always depressed.
It kind of feels like I'm in London.
(Gloomy)
- So I tell him, - He's like the weather in London.
"Well, that's life."
Then I hang up.
Doesn't he have a good impression?
- He's very easy to meet. - He has a good impression.
- I'm grateful for those remarks. - He's very agreeable.
Right.
Byung Hyun has a lot of legendary pictures.
We prepared this one.
Why can't I lift the panel?
- Here, Young Mi. - Yes.
- It's because you laugh too much. - I can't laugh?
- You lift it later after you laugh. - Was that the reason?
Let's start with this one.
- Ichiro's picture. - Yes.
That was...
Ichiro is an amazing player.
- Yes. - Yes.
"I will make sure you never beat Japan for 30 years."
That's what he said.
Then the reporter asked me what I think about what he said.
So I said, "I think he read too many comic books."
That was witty.
- You had a star quality. - Right.
He's like a wild horse,
- He just faces it. - so he should have been handled.
But no one was there to handle him. Anyways...
They're clearing the bench.
But he's smiling.
You were quite old in the team.
You were the eldest, right?
Right.
But you're the only one smiling.
- He is. - Would you care to elaborate?
I think that was when I was in Nexen.
We were clearing the bench in a game against Doosan.
(Bench-clearing brawl: a fighting that occurs...)
(in which every player charges the field to fight one another.)
(It's an explosive conflict situation.)
(And Byung Hyun was smiling in the meantime.)
- There's Oh Jae Won. - Yes.
Jae Won loses his cool easily.
So I was smiling and saying, "Cut it out."
I see.
- "Cut it out." - It's like in a movie...
when they're like, "What's going on?"
But that could never happen in the Major League, right?
In the Major League,
they're all strangers and I couldn't speak their language,
so I had to fight when I cleared the bench.
- But these are seniors and juniors. - Yes, we all know each other.
- And we all speak Korean. - This doesn't...
look like a bench clearing,
it looks like a peaceful situation.
There's no hidden movement down there, is there?
(Is there?)
You could be saying,
"Watch yourself. I know where the cameras are."
(Was he flicking them off?)
That could have been what's happening.
Was there a middle finger down there?
"Jae Won, look down."
(He would flick them off in front if he was going to.)
Wow.
When there's a bench-clearing brawl,
there are players who don't want to fight, right?
- You have to go. - But they go out anyways.
Right. You have no choice.
If you don't, they could be asking why I didn't.
Do they bully you if you don't?
Yes, that happens in America.
Have you ever went out without knowing what happened?
Sure, I went out to the field,
and it was kind of awkward. I didn't have a translator there.
- "You don't have a translator." - You didn't know what was going on.
I stayed there for a while and just came back.
Let's put it this way.
If Jong Shin is about to be beaten up over there,
we should at least get out there and see what happens.
- It's common courtesy. - I should at least...
figure out what the problem is and try to solve it.
I should at least try.
I can't just sit there and watch when he's being beat up.
(Promise to get out there and see when something happens.)
Chang Hee, you're the one and only counselor of DinDin?
Do you remember our group, "8 or 9 out of 10"...
- that Lee Jin Ho said last time? - Yes.
(We have 10 members,)
(and let's make sure to have at least 8, 9 members when we meet.)
The members are Cho Sae Ho, Nam Chang Hee,
me, Lee Yong Jin, Yang Se Hyeong, and Yang Se Chan.
(They must be mostly coming out every time.)
(An unexpected member is...)
(DinDin.)
Jin Ho told you that no one replies...
when DinDin says something in our group chat.
But there are stories before that.
At first, DinDin asked,
"I'm in Hongdae. Who's available?"
And I was in Japan at the time.
So I replied, "I'm in Japan," with a picture.
And the rest of them started sending things like, "I'm in Bangkok,"
"I'm in somewhere,"
"I'm in London,"
with a picture of each city.
And at last, Yong Jin replied...
"I'm at the army base. I'm reenlisting,"
with a picture of him in the past.
It was so hilarious.
And since then,
when DinDin asks where we are, we all post weird photos.
That's been going on for a while.
- And then, - That's hilarious.
DinDin was having a hard time with that.
He called me,
"Chang Hee, can you stop them from doing that?"
So I told him not to worry and that I'll take care of it.
I apologized to him and hung up.
I told the other members to stop doing it,
and they started not replying at all.
I see.
They don't reply at all.
- It was better before. - It wasn't funny anymore.
- I see. - No one has been talking...
for about a month in that group chat.
You'll soon get the message.
"DinDin has left the chatroom."
Then we'll bring him back right away.
(It's the group chat prison.)
("DinDin has left the chatroom." "DinDin has been invited.")
Chang Hee,
you hate going to signing events?
Celebrities hold a signing event at a grand opening.
But honestly, I'm not popular enough...
to hold a signing event.
- Anyway, more than 10 years ago... - Oh, no.
No one said, "That's not true."
No one said it.
Well, it's true.
- I just... - Right. Jong Shin.
They invite a celebrity within their budget.
- So... - Don't be like that. We know it.
I held a signing event at a shopping mall for the first time.
The store was on the basement floor.
No one came. Who would have?
So they suggested we should go out to promote the event.
They found a microphone and an amplifier.
They asked me to speak into the microphone...
- to attract some people. - That's not a good idea.
- It's embarrassing. - Of course, it's embarrassing.
So my first signing event ended up in total failure.
- When was it? - More than 10 years ago.
But it must be different now.
I was invited to a signing event a few years ago as well.
A friend of mine asked me a favor, so I went there.
They set up a few booths in a row.
There were two others next to me, and a free nail service at the end.
There was a long waiting line only at that booth.
- Of course. - The free nail service?
- Of course, there was a long line. - But there was...
no one in front of my booth.
- So I decided not to do it again. - I would've hated it too.
- You don't have to do it. - But Yoo Sang Moo...
asked me to hold a signing event at his internet cafe.
- I went there too. - I said, "I don't want to."
"Who will come to see me? I bet no one will."
Then he said, "Hey, don't worry. I have a plan."
I asked what his plan was.
He said, "We'll pay people for getting your autograph."
That's a good idea.
We gave people 10 cent for getting an autograph.
We didn't give a lot of money since it was just an event.
We gave them 15 cents if they took a photo with me as well.
46 people came to get my autograph that day.
- So I spent 4 dollars and 60 cents. - Good for you.
My signing event was quite successful.
- That's great. - And it promoted the internet cafe.
(I'm not laughing because I'm happy.)
Byung Hyun said...
that he had never been satisfied with his performance since 2004,
not even once.
First of all, I think I had a very short peak.
That's true.
So I had a strong desire to perform...
as well as I used to. And as a few years passed,
I came to think that I should not retire without regaining my skills.
I became desperate and determined.
I wondered what caused it. Since it hurt my pride,
and I wasn't as good as I was in my peak,
I thought I should find out the reason before retiring.
So did you not find out the reason after all?
- I found out the reason. - What was the reason?
One of the reasons was my eating habit.
I lived in Korea until college,
and then I went to the US,
which changed my eating habit and living environment.
- You can eat a lot of pizza, coke, - That's right.
- and burgers, and I like them. - You ate a lot of food like that.
I ate a lot of such food without thinking.
- That's right. - You should've managed your diet.
Yes. But I didn't realize it.
Baseball players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant...
keep a strict diet. Some of them don't even eat meat.
- I heard about it. - Right.
- It's because eating meat... - It changes your body.
can slow down the healing process of infection.
So they avoid eating meat.
How did you know that?
- I read a news article about it. - I see.
- Were you going to say it? - Yes.
- I'm sorry. - Not all athletes...
(He apologizes after saying everything he had to say.)
- I'm sorry. - If you think that way,
you should apologize for everything you said for the past 12 years.
- Exactly. - I'm sorry. But it's true.
- I didn't eat meat for two years. - A healthy diet is important.
You did? When?
Before you retired?
I didn't eat meat until last year.
- So? - I see.
It cleared my mind,
- It did? - and my body felt lighter.
When you're completely focused, you feel like you can freeze a moment.
You can see the batter clearly and exactly how...
- the ball you throw moves. - You can see the movement.
I gradually recovered that sense.
(The change of my diet changed myself.)
I realized that it was the answer I was looking for.
(He finally found the answer.)
Meat restaurant owners probably hate your story.
- I run a burger shop. - He's a burger shop owner.
- He sells burgers. - But it's okay...
because it's a burger shop. It's okay.
We serve healthy burgers. It's healthy.
(He changed his attitude quickly.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who successfully transformed themselves.
"The Song to Show the Brand New Me".
Today, instead of all these TV celebrities,
the only athlete among our guests will sing.
Shall we hear the song that Byung Hyun chose?
- I like his song choice. - The song title is perfect.
"A Flower Yet to Bloom".
- He's also dressed... - In fact...
- a little like Kim Soo Chul. - That's right.
This song was released when you were a little child.
- It's a very old song. - Exactly.
When I was a little child, a college student who had completed...
his military service lived next door to me.
I saw him playing the guitar in his military training uniform.
- With a bag of snack... - Military training uniform?
Your outfit looks like a military training uniform.
Really?
- Did you wear this on purpose? - I really wanted to say this.
- Is that right? - It reminds me of old days.
- His shirt really looks like it. - Exactly.
- Does it? - Yes.
- You have a unique fashion style. - I see.
I liked this song very much when I was a little kid.
Maybe I'm greedy, but I think I had a very short peak.
- That's true. - I retired...
and started my own business, and I'm preparing to go on a variety show.
I feel like I'm a flower that couldn't bloom.
Don't worry. You can bloom with your burger business.
(You have nothing to worry about.)
Life is simple.
That's right.
Shall we hear Byung Hyun singing "A Flower Yet to Bloom"?
("A Flower Yet to Bloom" performed by Kim Byung Hyun)
(The melody reminds us of our childhood.)
(He's reminiscing the old times.)
(She left a long time ago, but why hasn't she come back yet?)
(He has a low pitched, heartfelt voice.)
- He's good. - It's nice.
(Singing calmly, he reflects on...)
(the old days when he went through struggles and hardships.)
(On a naked branch)
(I got through tough times in my baseball career like the last leaf.)
He's good at singing.
(When I think of how short my peak was,)
(I feel so sad.)
(He has suppressed feelings deep inside his heart.)
He's amazing.
(He's letting out all the emotions through the song.)
He's good.
(Although his baseball career ended,)
(he will start anew and bloom himself.)
(Restaurant owner, baseball commentator, entertainer)
(His performance shows his confidence and ambition.)
He's amazing.
- That was great. - He bloomed here.
He sang so calmly. It was amazing.
- He has a truly free spirit. - He's good.
He doesn't keep the formality, but he was fabulous.
In fact, it's a very difficult song to sing.
- Exactly. - He chose the song for a reason.
I think he's good enough to be on "King of Mask Singer".
- I'm sure he'll do well. - He can win the contest.
No, no.
You're perfect for the first round.
(You should always wait until people finish their sentences.)
- Just for the first round? - Don't be greedy.
Your nickname will be "Mr. Hamburger".
(Could he appear on "King of Mask Singer"?)
- Wearing a costume? - That's right.
- That would be great. - Or "Vegetarian Burger Shop Owner".
Today, we had A Whole New Me special...
with these four guests who have transformed completely.
We're looking forward to seeing how you all will have changed...
the next time we see you again.
We hope to see you again soon.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(The Weekend Stealers special will visit you next week.)
