The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
(Happy Together)
We all are dressed unusually today.
Anyone can tell Hyun Moo is Seo Taiji.
- Thank you. - He sure is.
I was worried you might say I'm Choi Yang Rak.
- It's thanks to the beanie. - Is that so?
Without the beanie, I would've... Can you take off your sunglasses?
- I'm Choi Yang Rak. - You look like Kim Sook.
- Kim Sook. - Don't say that.
- You look like Kim Sook. - Stop it.
You look great. By the way,
- I'm feeling so hot. - Who are you dressed as?
- Can't you tell? - No.
My friend, Bae Yong Joon.
(Both he and Yong Joon were born in 1972.)
But it's midsummer now.
- Excuse me. I'm feeling too hot. - Okay.
I think I'm going to get a heat rash.
- I'll take off my jacket. - Okay.
- Good. - This is...
All he did was take off the jacket, and he looks like Yu Jae Seok now.
(He looks like himself now!)
- That's right. - You used to have that hairstyle.
- I had this hairstyle before. - That's right.
- You worked with Lee Hwi Jae often. - That's right.
It turns out I'm just me.
Yoon Hee, who are you?
- To be honest, I'm disappointed... - Disappointed?
- that you can't tell. - "Whispering Corridors".
- We're disappointed too. - "Whispering Corridors"?
I'm just asking because I have no idea.
- Who are you? - I'm dressed as Shim Eun Ha...
from "Christmas in August".
- What? - Gosh.
- Shim Eun Ha? - You just look like yourself.
- That's why I asked. - Exactly.
Then are you Han Seok Kyu?
Stop it.
Hold that pose for a while.
- You're looking like... - In fact,
- the staff expected me... - Who are you?
to look like Lynx from "Rustic Period".
But I don't look like him at all.
Since when did Lynx become so chubby?
He's very slim.
Aren't you Cho Sae Ho 20 years later?
- I think so too. - Right.
If I should tell you what the stars we're dressed as...
- have in common, - Right.
- we want to know how they're doing. - I'm so curious.
They're all mysterious.
- Yong Joon, Seo Taiji, - That's right.
- Seo Taiji. - and Shim Eun Ha.
Today, we're going to meet stars...
whom we're curious about,
but we haven't seen for a while.
- Let's meet them. Please come out! - Please come out!
(Come on out!)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi, Ji A. - Oh, my.
- Hello. - Hello, Yeon Su.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Oh, my. Hi, Joo Ri. - Hello.
- Goodness. - "Follow me."
- I missed you. Hi, Ye Bin. - Hello.
It's so good to see you again.
- Hi, Guk Joo. - Goodness. Hello.
I said that we'd meet the stars whom we're curious about.
It's "Tell Us How You Have Been".
Another star will be here to celebrate their appearance.
We haven't seen this star for a while either.
Let's bring out our special guest.
- Who could that be? - Now,
Epaksa will give a performance!
(The special stage appears.)
- This is awesome. - My goodness.
(Ji A, look at that!)
- Epaksa! - Hello!
Clap!
- It's been a long time. - I'm so excited to see him again.
I can't believe this.
(He hasn't changed at all!)
He looks great.
(A monkey climbs up a tree)
(It sits on a branch wagging its tail)
(He knew every magic trick under the sun)
(The monkey has fun dancing disco)
(Monkey, monkey magic, monkey magic)
(Relieving parenting stress)
(Knee bounce dance)
Clap!
(Clap!)
- Young man - Young man
(Young man)
(Stand up now)
(He does what the lyrics ask for.)
(Young man)
(This is a festival!)
(The mom and the daughter both love his performance.)
(Laughing out loud)
(They all do the solar plexus dance together.)
Here goes Epaksa, YMCA
Together, one more time!
- YMCA - YMCA
(She's in a trance.)
(I came on Happy Together)
(Everyone, I hope to see you again)
(It looks like Epaksa's revival meeting.)
Everyone, please give Epaksa a big round of applause!
Thank you.
I hope to see you again.
- Thank you, Epaksa. - Okay.
- Thank you. The end. - Thank you.
That was an amazing performance.
Epaksa is amazing as always.
He hasn't changed at all.
By the way,
Ji A, do you know Epaksa?
Yes, I do. My friends always sing...
"Monkey Magic" in school.
Really?
How old were you then?
- Now. - Now?
Your friends at school know this song?
- And they sing it too? - Yes, for fun.
- I see. - I guess it's on the Internet.
Just now, Ji A was going to drink water,
but her mother took the bottle away from her so she could talk.
(She lets her talk first.)
I heard that Ji A...
- is good at dancing too. - Indeed.
- She has so much talent. - Exactly.
All right. It's "Tell Us How You Have Been".
We'll introduce our guests one by one.
She's a working mom who struggles to balance her career and family.
The mother of two children and the promising actress,
Park Yeon Su!
(Park Yeon Su)
Hello.
- It's been a long time. - It's been almost five years.
Let's move on.
She's a pretty girl just like her mother.
She's expected to be every Korean man's first love.
She looks so pretty from all angles.
The girl with many dreams, Song Ji A!
Ji A, Song Ji A!
- She looks a lot like her mother. - She looks so pretty...
- in person. - She takes after her mother.
Because of her happy smile and unexpectedly curvy body,
she was called as Lee Hyo Ri of the comediennes.
"Follow me."
She's the mother of three kids.
- Comedienne Jung Joo Ri! - Jung Joo Ri!
"Follow me."
Her sense of humor enchants the viewers.
She's back as a beauty, not a gourmand.
The unrivaled master of parody,
Comedienne Lee Guk Joo!
Lee Guk Joo!
(Adding special effects)
- Who's next? - It's been a while.
Not only did she take over dramas and variety shows, but also she...
won every man's heart.
Her beautiful face catches people's eyes, and she has a lovely smile.
Kang Ye Bin!
I can't believe she's here.
(Kang Ye Bin)
- Ye Bin, it's been a long time. - Look at her waist.
I've never appeared on Happy Together before.
Right?
I'm so excited.
Today, we're with many stars we haven't seen for a while.
I'm excited to hear a lot of interesting stories...
about our guests' lives.
One of the guests whom I was curious about the most...
- was Ji A. - Right.
People may not recognize her if she doesn't tell them who she is.
- That's right. - She grew up so much.
- Indeed. - Please say hello to our viewers.
(Say hello to the viewers of Happy Together.)
Hello, I'm Song Ji A. I'm 13 years old now.
I've been arguing with my mom very often...
since I just began with adolescence.
- She's good. - Oh, she's 13.
- If she's 13, - She must be in elementary school.
- She's in 6th grade. - I'm in 6th grade.
She's going to start middle school soon.
She doesn't look like a sixth-grader.
- She looks like a fashion model. - That's right.
It must be great to have such long arms and legs.
I got it from my mom.
- She's good with words. - Look at me.
You take after your mom. I think your arms are longer than hers.
Great.
Weren't you nervous to be on the show?
Are you relieved since your mother is here with you?
Yes. Thanks to my mom, I feel relaxed.
(She feels relaxed since she's with her mother.)
But Ji A said she was worried...
she might not get to talk much because of her mother.
I thought I would worry about how she might think...
when I talk about her on the show.
But she helps me stay relaxed.
I see.
What do you and your mother usually fight over?
We fight over petty things.
I'm sorry to ask this, but did you two fight this morning?
I have a feeling that they had a big fight.
- You two fought today too? - Right.
What was the reason?
Why did we fight this morning?
- There was no particular reason. - She curled her hair at home.
Since her curls were coming undone, I curled her hair.
She said, "Gosh, stop it."
- Kids at her age act like that. - Right.
I wanted to make her look prettier.
- You were trying to help her. - Exactly.
I was curling her hair, but she peevishly said it wasn't necessary.
(This is what a mother of a teenager has to go through.)
I heard this at the back. It looks like Ji A is...
angry at Happy Together.
- Why? - Really?
If the shoot was on a weekday, she could've skipped school.
But since it's Saturday, she had to go to school before this.
- She was disappointed. - Right.
If it were on a weekday,
would it have been better because you can skip school?
It would've been great to skip school.
- It's disappointing... - She hoped to skip school.
that I didn't get to skip classes.
- Of course, it's disappointing. - She's cute.
If the shoot was set on a weekday,
you would've gotten to skip your classes.
Did you tell your friends that you'd be on this show?
Yes. I told only one person,
but the word got out.
- I don't think it was a girl. - Ji A.
You told that friend knowing it would happen, right?
(Was it Ji A's big picture?)
I bet you knew that friend would tell everyone.
- You told someone who is talkative. - Right.
How did your friends react when they heard it?
The boys were surprised saying, "You're going on that show?"
The girls cheered for me saying, "Good luck, Ji A."
That's how boys are.
(I have a lot to say, but I won't say anything.)
That's how boys are.
So instead of complimenting her, they said, "You'll be on the show?"
"You're going to talk on the show?"
(The typical reaction of elementary school boys)
These days, Ji A's photos...
- are the talk of the town. - Is that so?
- Is that Ji A? - Yes.
- You're lying. - It's her.
That's Ji A too.
My goodness.
- She looks like an adult. - She looks so pretty.
I'm surprised.
- She does look like Suzy. - That's right.
- I've seen this photo. - She's gorgeous.
It says, "Management Office" on the wall behind her.
Yes. Our apartment is still looking for residents.
- I see. - It's on the wall in the elevator.
- Was it taken in the elevator? - Yes.
So this is the photo that people are talking about...
- how she looks like Suzy. - Right.
She really looks like Suzy.
And the boys said, "They think you look like Suzy?"
- They tease you for no reason. - Boys express interest that way.
That's how boys are.
We're well aware of it.
- "You are?" - It's because they like her.
Yeon Su, did you expect her photos to draw so much attention?
No. I didn't expect that at all.
Ji A grew more than 10cm last year.
Even I was so surprised whenever I saw her.
She started to look more like a woman.
I thought her photos at the time would be so pretty.
- That's why you took her photos. - I took a photo of her,
and post it on social media without even editing it.
- But it drew a lot of attention. - I see.
Yes. That's how it happened.
She must have taken the photo in a hurry.
She looks very photogenic especially in that photo.
- And I used a normal camera. - It looks like it.
I didn't use any photo editing application.
Also, she's smiling subtly.
- I like her smile. - She looks so pretty.
I should learn how to smile like that.
(I should learn how to smile like that.)
I always smile awkwardly.
Did you take that photo spontaneously...
while holding your phone?
No. That day, when I saw her,
she looked so pretty and elegant.
Maybe she was just tired from her classes.
Was she exhausted?
I should've gone to classes when I was her age.
- She has fairly dark skin, - I see.
- but she looked a little pale. - That's why...
- her eyes look a little blank. - Right.
I was tired.
You get a good photo when you're tired.
That's right.
I heard she got many offers from major entertainment agencies.
That's right. A major entertainment agency...
that all of you know...
asked her to sign a contract with them, not just meeting them.
Really?
But most of the artists there are singers.
- Is it SM Entertainment? - It starts with "J".
- JYP Entertainment? - JYP Entertainment?
(Even JYP Entertainment appreciates her beauty and talent.)
However, Ji A is still exploring her options...
for her future and her career path.
Also, she's really into golf these days.
She's not interested in joining an agency.
Ji A, what do you think? You got offers...
from major agencies. Are you not interested in this industry?
Of course, I wanted to work with the agency...
- So? - since it's a large agency.
But if I start working with them, I can't go to the golf range often.
- You're really into golf now. - Yes.
Then is your dream to become a professional golf player?
That's right. I really into golf these days.
If she practices hard now,
- Right. - and becomes...
- a world-famous golfer, - A professional golfer.
it would be wonderful.
How good is she at playing golf?
I think I'm...
She practiced for six months last year...
and 4 months this year. It's been about 10 months.
And she hits around 89 now.
- Really? - 89?
- Yes. - I know nothing about golf.
- 2 or 3 more or less than that. - How good is she?
- She's so good if she hits 89. - She's incredible.
- She's amazing. - To get a lower score,
you need to increase the driving distance. How far can you hit?
- Better than kids around your age? - Can you hit very far?
Girls around my age who have been practicing...
for six months usually hit...
between 120m and 130m. But when I had practiced that long,
I hit between 160m and 170m.
- She hits really far. - My personal record is 200m.
200m? You're like a man.
You hit 200m?
- It's hard even for adult men... - That's right.
- who are amateurs to do that. - Yes.
It's really hard to do.
How does she hit 200m?
To put it simply for those who don't know much about golf,
even if an adult man tries to knock it out of the park...
- What? - My gosh.
- You're an announcer. Seriously. - Gosh. What was that?
Does "S" on your beanie stand for "smack" or something?
- I can't believe you. - It's hard to hit 200m.
- It's hard to do. - It requires a technique.
Of course, if you're trained well,
you can hit it far.
It's hard for most people to hit 200m.
- She's incredible. - Indeed.
I think she gets the athletic ability from her dad.
I think so too.
Only I inherited the athletic ability, not Ji Wook.
- Your brother isn't athletic? - Your brother didn't inherit it?
Is your brother not very athletic?
He's better than the kids around his age.
He goes for track and field training at 8am every day.
- His class begins at 9am. - I see.
However, I skip the training often.
Not long ago, we participated in a track and field contest.
He came in fifth in the preliminary round and got eliminated,
but I came in second and advanced to the final round.
So are you saying you did better even though you didn't try hard?
Your brother must be happy to hear that.
When her brother watches this,
he'll be furious.
You will fight with him.
He trained every morning, but failed in the preliminary round.
- My goodness. - But she passed the round...
- although she skipped training. - She's a hipster.
(I'm sorry, Ji Wook.)
In short, she thinks she's a natural.
I'm very grateful that many other shows invited Yeon Su as well,
- but she chose our show. - Really?
- Yes. - Why?
Since Ji A's photo was revealed,
- People went crazy. - she's been getting a lot of...
offers for interviews. I was surprised too.
However, since she's just a child, I wanted to protect her privacy.
- I see. - I mean, she's not interested in...
- working in the TV industry. - Right.
When I appeared on Happy Together five years ago,
I wasn't a TV celebrity back then.
- I was just a housewife. - That's right.
But Jae Seok helped me in every way...
and made me feel so comfortable.
So I thought he would help my daughter just as he helped me.
- That's why I decided to come here. - Is that really why you're here?
- Yes. - I'm really grateful.
- You should treat them very well. - I know.
Ji A, is this your first time for meeting Jae Seok?
- Right. - Yes.
That's right. It's our first time meeting.
- I... - He looks terrible, right?
- My goodness. - Right?
I can't believe my hair looks like this...
when I am meeting Ji A for the first time.
It's okay.
It's not his real hair.
- I know. - It's not my real hair.
What is it like seeing him for the first time?
You are...
- Be honest. - funny.
- He is funny? - You are funny.
Really?
We thank Yeon Su and Ji A...
for joining us on Happy Together.
I was really happy to see this guest.
She became the mother of three sons.
- Jung Joo Ri. - It's nice to meet you.
When did you give birth?
I gave birth 120 days ago.
I am not ready yet.
What do you mean?
I haven't lost enough weight.
- You look fine. - I can't tell you gained weight.
I used to be much prettier.
- What? - I believe we have met.
- I think we have. - Where have we met?
- We have met on a show. - Oh, really?
- Don't lie. - I thought we haven't met.
I still need to lose 10kg.
- I can't tell you gained weight. - Seriously.
It's really good to see you, Joo Ri.
I visited Happy Together the last time...
after I had my first child.
I am here again after I had my third child.
All three of them are boys.
That's right.
Isn't it hard to raise three boys?
It's hard, but...
- Don't cry. - No, I am really happy.
Actually...
Joo Ri is a talented woman.
- That's right. - So I was a bit sad...
to see you go on a hiatus for so long.
I was quite fortunate.
I did get offers from various shows,
but I couldn't make the time since I raise three children.
I couldn't ask anyone to babysit...
since everyone works during the weekdays.
Since the shoot for Happy Together takes place on Saturday,
my mom came over to watch the children.
- Your mom is watching the children. - My mom and my sister-in-law.
- Ji A... - How about your husband?
- My husband? - Yes.
He is away for work.
- For work? - Yes.
- My goodness. - She is incredible.
Isn't it quite early to make a comeback...
- 120 days after childbirth? - That's right.
- It took me a year... - A year.
to recover.
- It's hard. - How did you pull it off?
Did you gain weight...
when you were pregnant?
- I gained about 14kg. - Really?
I gained 24kg.
I still have 10kg to lose.
I can't tell you gained weight.
Are you saying I am pretty?
- I am saying you are pretty. - Thank you.
What is up with that attitude?
- Joo Ri. - Seriously,
- what are you doing? - I am so happy to meet people...
and have a conversation after a long while.
Is that so?
- It seems like... - I have a question.
you want to be complimented by Yoon Hee.
I want to be acknowledged by a fellow woman.
Joo Ri is incredible.
She had her three sons...
- by natural birth. - That's right.
Does that mean you had...
water birth?
Yes, I had all of my children by water birth.
It's good for the mother and the child.
The first time, I did it without much thought.
I had labor pains for 30 hours.
30 hours?
Yes, I had labor pains for 30 hours.
They said it won't take 30 hours to have my 2nd child.
I had my 2nd child in 4 hours...
and my 3rd child in 6 hours.
I heard that your husband's reaction wasn't...
- very nice. - When the first child was born,
he cried.
- Did he cry? - The experience makes you tear up.
He thought I was dying.
- That's why he cried. - In dramas, women go,
"I am suffering because of you!"
They grab their husbands' hair. It wasn't like that with me.
I thought I might die,
so I began to think about saying goodbye to my husband.
- It must have been really hard. - I thought I might die.
My husband cried then.
During the second childbirth,
he looked on calmly...
thanks to his experience.
- He waited calmly. - During the third childbirth,
the process dragged on...
- and he made a joke. - What did he say?
"Do you mind if I take a quick nap?"
Are you sure it was a joke?
(It has to be a joke.)
I heard the sons resemble Joo Ri. Shall we take a look?
They are so cute.
(Joo Ri's three sons are revealed.)
- They are cute. - My goodness.
Seriously.
The one wearing navy is the first son.
Here, the one wearing light blue is the first son.
They are so cute.
- The second son. - That's right.
I think all three of them...
resemble me.
- They are cute. - They took your DNA.
I told my husband that he is a Jung Joo Ri collector.
- My goodness. - They really look like you.
There is a guest who came to support Joo Ri.
It's Guk Joo.
(Joo Ri's best friend, Guk Joo)
As far as I know,
the two of you worked at different broadcasting stations.
- Yes. - How did you become friends?
She is from SBS and I am from MBC.
We met through tvN's "Comedy Big League".
We came to do a skit with Ahn Young Mi.
You know what it's like.
You build a friendship by badmouthing a senior member.
It was something like that.
There were three members in the group.
We became friends by badmouthing one member.
- Young Mi. - Oh, really?
Ahn Young Mi? It's Ahn Young Mi?
- Really? - Yes. Let me explain.
She doesn't move a finger.
- Young Mi doesn't. - I know she is like that.
Let's say she ordered pork cutlet at a snack bar.
- She doesn't cut it. - Really?
- She's known for that. - She is a princess.
Young Mi is a princess.
We were like, "She is ridiculous."
"She really doesn't move a finger."
We built our friendship that way...
and took care of Young Mi.
Let me tell you how we served her.
- Young Mi has... - She doesn't move a finger.
a lot of dead skin on her legs.
- It's like snakeskin. - Gosh.
- My goodness. - I am serious.
I mean...
- During winter... - She has a lot of dead skin.
Most people with dry skin...
get the snakeskin during winter.
- She has snakeskin. - Young Mi has it all seasons.
Her legs were always white with dead skin.
It was embarrassing to walk around with her,
- so... - My goodness.
I applied lotion...
- on her legs. - You moisturized her legs.
Young Mi would go, "Okay. Apply lotion on my legs."
Aren't her toenails too long?
- Are they too long? - Look at Guk Joo's face.
(Guk Joo is disgusted.)
- Don't even get me started. - Hold on.
- I am sure they come in handy. - Young Mi isn't on the show.
- I am sure they come in handy. - "Young Mi's dead skin".
Young Mi's dead skin accounts for the half of fine dust.
- I am serious. - "Young Mi's dead skin".
- I am sure they come in handy. - She also has...
long nails and toenails.
Guk Joo and I bonded...
by taking care of her.
- Joo Ri applied lotion. - That's hilarious.
You saw my face earlier, right? I can't do that.
- That's hilarious. - But...
I served her during meetings and such.
"Coffee!"
- She does that! - Young Mi goes, "Coffee!"
"Guk Joo, coffee!"
Even if I was working on another skit,
I have to make coffee for her.
I never thought anyone would ask that to Guk Joo.
Young Mi always complains about the things I did to her,
but I had that happen to me during a meeting too.
Young Mi went, "Sae Ho, coffee!"
I brought it to her.
But she always complains about the things I did to her.
- My goodness. - She does that...
even when you aren't in the same space.
- I live in Yeongdeungpo. - Okay.
She messaged me one day.
"Coffee!"
- I am serious. - Don't be ridiculous.
I am serious.
- You know it's true, right? - Yes.
- The message read, "Coffee!" - Where does she live?
- That's hilarious. - I asked her where she lives.
She lives in Sangam.
- That's hilarious. - I was home.
I ended up going.
- Really? - I went to her with coffee.
Did you debut after her?
- Yes, we did. - We did,
but we didn't debut through the same broadcasting station.
- I am sure she was joking. - Yes.
- "Coffee!" - That's hilarious.
I brought her coffee to make her flustered.
I thought she would say, "I can't believe you came!"
- She didn't say that. - What happens...
- when you ignore her? - Even when I ignore her,
- she doesn't say anything. - Of course not.
She just asks someone else.
The next day, she goes, "Coffee!"
She doesn't stop.
- It will be a hit. - It will be a hit.
- "Coffee!" - "Coffee!"
All right. Guk Joo,
you are also a celebrity people have become curious about.
It used to be that we could see you...
every time we turned on the TV.
- These days, that's not the case. - No.
Last November,
I decided that I couldn't overwork my throat anymore...
and got surgery on my vocal cords.
- Really? - Yes.
- Your throat was overworked. - A few days after the surgery,
the doctor told me how my vocal cords used to be.
As soon as he saw the picture,
he said, "You must have gone through a lot."
I have had a pretty long career of 13 years,
but no one has consoled me that way.
Neither friends nor parents have done that.
As soon as the doctor saw the picture,
he knew the condition...
I was in.
"You must have gone through a lot."
When I heard those words,
I couldn't stop the tears.
I was like...
My manager took a picture of me in tears...
to liven up the atmosphere,
but I couldn't stop the tears.
"That's right. I overworked myself."
"It's about time I look after my health..."
"and do what I want to do."
That's why I wasn't on TV for a while.
Now, let's talk about the diet.
I don't know what to do.
- Would you like to explain? - Tell us everything.
Let me explain.
I didn't get sponsored by a company...
- to go on a diet. - No, you didn't.
I simply thought, "At this rate, it will explode."
- What will explode? - My body.
I have always said as a joke, "The human body doesn't explode."
- But at this rate... - I know how it feels.
I grew worried because I kept making a new record.
I kept making a new record.
- I gained 25kg since my debut. - I see.
I was chosen as a big character even back then,
but I continued to gain weight.
I thought, "I can't gain more weight."
So I worked out an hour and a half every day.
That's good for your health.
I stopped eating carbohydrates and had more protein.
Then I lost 6kg.
A month later,
I lost 8 or 9kg.
I posted a photo without any intentions.
When I visited the "Cultwo Show",
Tae Kyun was like, "You became prettier."
I said, "I went on a diet." "I lost 8 or 9kg."
Then articles got released.
- That's how it happened. - Then more reporters began...
to use photos on my social media.
I thought you announced that...
you will go on a diet.
I am done.
I see.
- I am done. - Are you done?
- I am done. I really am. - I see.
I don't intend to lose more weight,
but so many articles are like, "Lee Guk Joo became prettier."
"Lee Guk Joo lost 9kg." There are photos of me,
but the comments go,
"Show us the picture of her after losing 9kg."
- The comments? - Yes.
"Show us the picture of her after losing 9kg."
The camera angle keeps going up.
It hurts my arms.
- The camera angle keeps going up. - She has to show her chin.
Waking up from a leg cramp is common, but...
I have woken up from a leg cramp.
Has anyone woken up...
- from an arm cramp? - That's why the angle changed.
My arm continued to go up.
- People were expecting a change. - It'll be up here.
In some photos, my head looks too big.
Seriously.
Some photos were like that.
My head looks too big.
I could barely see her mouth.
That's right.
Ye Bin, it has been a while since we saw you on TV.
It's good to see you.
It's good to be here.
I heard it's your first time to visit Happy Together.
I thought you were here before.
- No, no. - I had nearly forgotten...
about Ye Bin.
I heard that many people ask when you will be back on TV...
via social media.
Yes. I receive many direct messages that go,
"Why aren't you on TV these days?"
I reply, "I don't get invited to any shows."
Come on.
She is cool about it.
I reply, "Post your request on the viewers' message board."
- That's a good tactic. - "You could do that."
- I think... - That's hilarious.
- that tactic worked. - I see.
How have you been?
These days, you can see me at the youthful part of the city.
I am in a play at Daehagno.
- I am in a play. - You are in a play.
- Yes. - I see.
I am in a play titled "Boeing-Boeing".
- It's a famous play. - It's a play...
that is 20 years old. I play a flight attendant.
(She plays a flight attendant.)
You said you didn't get invited to any shows.
- No. - I didn't know it was so serious.
You gave up on your career and moved back to your hometown.
I came back to Seoul only recently.
Where is your hometown?
Yeoju. I am from Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province.
I am staying here briefly for the play.
- Really? - Yes.
Why did you give up on your career in the TV industry?
I... The thing is,
I missed my mom.
I wanted to live close to my mom.
I wanted to be protected...
in her arms.
It sounds like you were...
- too exhausted. - I was too exhausted and hurt.
Since I debuted for my looks...
through the Internet,
I always got hate comments.
There was someone who asked for my autograph...
and ripped it in front of me.
That person asked for your autograph and ripped it in front of you?
That's right.
I guess that person wanted to insult me.
Why would anyone do that?
- What's the reason? - There was...
a woman who wanted me to die in a car accident...
because her boyfriend liked me too much.
When she saw her boyfriend keeping a photo of me,
she wrote she wants me to die in a certain way.
Those events were common.
I thought I was used to them.
I didn't know I was only suppressing myself.
I thought, "It's okay. I don't mind."
I was wrong. When I got older,
I began to see the damage.
I became so scared...
that I developed a severe case of sociophobia.
- I didn't go out for a year. - I see.
Trash that needs to be recycled got piled up inside the apartment.
I couldn't go outside to throw them away...
because I was so afraid of finding someone at the stairs.
I couldn't do it.
There even were people who waited for me...
- at the basement. - What?
- Really? - Yes.
I ran into them twice.
One got into the elevator with me and didn't press the button.
- You can't run in that situation. - No.
When you are too scared, you can't even scream.
You should have moved.
That's why I moved.
I moved to my hometown, Yeoju.
Those events were...
- too frequent. - There are so many bad people.
- It makes me so angry. - I know.
She gave us a brief summary...
- of the past events. - Yes.
It must have been very hard on Ye Bin.
Ye Bin gathered up her courage to begin working again,
- so let's give her a big hand. - Thank you.
- Goodness. - I am sorry that I didn't know.
Gosh, don't be.
It couldn't have been easy to be in a play...
when you have sociophobia.
When you are in a play, you have to meet the audience.
- That's right. I am this close... - That's right.
to the audience.
I almost threw up due to my nerves.
- You were that scared. - I came close...
to throwing up.
I couldn't eat properly for about three months.
I lost over 3kg without trying...
before I got used to starring in the play.
My fear was that extreme,
but I overcame sociophobia thanks to the play.
- It helped you. - It helped me.
When I got past that point,
I could see the smile on the audience members' faces.
I could see...
- Their eyes. - That's right.
I could see those things. That moment,
I felt butterflies in my stomach...
as if I had just debuted.
I had forgotten that feeling.
Experiencing that feeling again...
made me feel alive.
- I am glad. - There are many good people.
That's right. There are many good people.
- That right. - During the time...
you spent on resting and preparing for the next step,
- you studied physiognomy. - Really?
- My goodness. - Well...
- Physiognomy was unexpected. - My goodness.
I was going through a hard time.
There was a producer I knew when I newly debuted.
He scolded me a lot so I that I would be better.
I lacked in many ways...
since I didn't plan on being a celebrity.
I used to teach children at a kindergarten.
- Really? - I didn't know anything...
since I wasn't ready to be a celebrity.
When they told me to move back, I went out of the frame.
(Ye Bin was clumsy in everything.)
I got scolded a lot.
I got dragged from one place to another.
One day, I went to a bookstore since I was upset.
There was a display with all the bestsellers,
so I took a look. There was a book about physiognomy.
- Physiognomy. - Physiognomy.
I leafed through the pages...
and found a face that looks exactly like the producer.
(The producer's doppelganger)
I read the description.
Even the personality was the same.
That's fascinating.
- My goodness. - That's fascinating.
- This is interesting. - What is that book?
I read the book...
and realized that the rules applied to my friends too.
Your facial features...
- really seemed to affect... - She is a good saleswoman.
your personality.
I bought the book and read it.
- You began with that book. - That's right.
During conversations and meetings,
I tried to guess the personality from the facial features.
Did the rules apply?
They don't apply all the time, but the percentage is high.
It's all based on statistics.
- It's not 100 percent. - It's not 100 percent.
- I am curious. - It's all based on statistics.
Now that we are on this topic... Ms. Face Reader.
- Please read our faces. - What will we become?
Prepare some money.
(Prepare some money.)
- Ms. Face Reader. My goodness. - My goodness.
(At that moment,)
(she takes out a secret notebook.)
(The content will be revealed now.)
Gosh, what is that?
- There is a notebook. - Guk Joo, why are you screaming?
She is so cool.
- Seriously. - She is a professional.
Ms. Face Reader.
Do I have the face of a king?
Do you see my double chin?
- All right. - Ye Bin,
promise us this.
Promise to tell us everything without hiding the flaws.
I plan to do that.
(I plan to do that.)
She got this covered, okay?
(He was worried for no reason.)
You were worried for no reason.
Ye Bin is doing fine on the show.
You don't need to pester her.
She is doing fine.
All right.
I will start with Jae Seok.
- Me? - Jae Seok,
I will start with your face.
I am sure everyone has told you this,
- but you have a nice nose. - I do?
You can't see his nostrils. He has the so-called "Arrow Nose".
- It's shaped like an arrow. - You are right.
That kind of a nose lets you...
keep your status, honor, and wealth.
(His "Arrow Nose" lets him keep his status, honor, and wealth.)
It lets him keep those things.
- I see. - His nose is...
similar to that of Kim Tae Won.
- Kim Tae Won. - Kim Tae Won.
However, his nose is narrower.
- That's right. It's narrower. - It's narrower.
Jae Seok's nose is wider.
- It's wider. - Thus, it's easier for him...
to keep his wealth and honor.
- I see. - His nose did everything.
He has so many flaws, but...
(He has so many flaws, but...)
(He has so many flaws.)
My goodness.
That was great.
It's thanks to his nose that he is top one.
- My nose? - Yes.
- My nose is different. - It's my opinion.
It would have been a disaster...
- if he didn't have that nose. - If he didn't have that nose,
- then... - He wouldn't have succeeded?
He wouldn't have been here.
- It's because... - That means...
my life would have suffered.
That's right.
What's the most lacking part about his face?
- He has a nice nose. - Everything except for his nose?
To be honest, his ears are a bit lacking.
- My ears? - However, the position is good.
I have small ears.
Despite that, your ears are lower.
They make the leader's face.
- The leader's face. - Really?
His ears are lower.
They make the leader's face.
- Both his nipples and ears are low. - For goodness' sake.
- I am just saying. - Guk Joo!
- His nipples met his navel. - For goodness' sake.
- They met again - Yeon Su.
(Stomping her feet)
She is stomping her feet.
(She is deeply touched.)
- Yeon Su. - My goodness.
They must've all went down.
(They all went down.)
- The gravity... - You...
- You're at a high position, but... - You're right.
He's the man who conforms to gravity.
(He's the man who conforms to gravity.)
- I am the MCG. - The MCG.
This is my subjective opinion,
but he might be very different from who we think he is.
Really?
He's playful, and he's naughty.
But from time to time, he loses his temper.
There's a side of him only his closest friends know about.
- He's fake. - He's short-tempered.
- So don't bother me. - She's right.
- He loses temper from time to time. - So don't bother me.
When I show up late, his eyes change.
- He asked not to be bothered. - Yes.
So he's bound to always be the leader.
(He's born to be a leader.)
- That's the best fate. - He just has to maintain it.
What can you say about Hyun Moo?
- This is fun. - Everyone thinks...
he looks like a Shih Tzu.
But he looks more like a Boston Terrier.
- Boston Terrier. - Yes.
- Another dog. - Bulldog.
- It's a dog anyway. - He looks like a bulldog too.
That's what he looks like.
Someone who looks like him...
doesn't know the joy of giving.
(He's the type of person doesn't know the joy of giving.)
(Everyone agrees.)
My goodness.
(Someone who looks like him doesn't know the joy of giving.)
My goodness.
(That was so precise.)
Does his face tell you such a thing?
You are very precise.
(Are you that great physiognomist?)
- How about you? - She's so precise.
- I quit. - I got goosebumps.
(Breaking News! Hyun Moo Quits)
- I know. - Bye.
I am very offended. Very offended.
That was so precise.
You didn't tell her about him ahead of time, did you?
She's incredible.
She talks so well.
Ye Bin, you talk so well.
(They approve her talking skills.)
You fit into a variety show perfectly.
More importantly, we didn't just agree.
We said, "You're right!"
- Right. - So...
it doesn't mean...
that he doesn't help others.
- He doesn't know the joy of giving. - Right.
It doesn't mean he doesn't give.
No. No.
She's incredible.
Isn't she just a mean commenter?
That's not a mean comment.
Listen to what she has to say.
- That's not a mean comment. - He'd pay because he has to.
He does it because he's got no other choice.
- But it doesn't make him happy. - I feel bad whenever he treats me.
- He doesn't feel happy. - He should pay when he wants to.
- Right. - Next.
- Yoon Hee. - Is that it...
- for me? - That's it.
- Is that it for me? - That's it.
- Nothing else? - Nothing else.
You should maintain that.
Your ears are up too high.
- They're way too high. - Hyun Moo, maintain that.
(He's the type of person who doesn't know the joy of giving.)
Yoon Hee is shooting a new drama soon.
Yoon Hee will do a really good job. Here's why.
She's very innocent and good-hearted.
- But she's a little stubborn. - I am.
She's stubborn,
and once she sets her heart to something, she gets it done.
Her lips are shaped like mountains.
- They do look like mountains. - People with those lips...
get their work done very well...
when they are given the work.
(Her mountain-shaped lips say that she's the type who works well.)
People with those lips...
get their work done very well.
But she's not lucky with people.
I am not lucky with people.
She doesn't have too many good people around her.
(Her ears tell us that she's not lucky with people.)
Look around her. Look around her.
They are not helpful at all.
She's not lucky.
She's not lucky with people.
When you meet friends, you might get involved in something bad.
So it's better to be alone.
Fortunately, she enjoys being alone.
You're right.
She enjoys being alone.
- Does her ears say that? - She won't get depressed.
Does she have any weaknesses?
Her weakness is...
- Tell us. - Honestly, her temper...
- She's short-tempered. - She's...
She looks...
really gentle. But she's not.
If you upset her, she might turn into the scariest person.
(She's actually the boss.)
When you see what she does to Sae Ho,
- you can tell she's got that side. - If you upset her,
she might fight better than you.
- Really? - That won't be easy.
That's funny.
Does my face say anything about my husband and my child?
She does her best whenever she does something.
And she's beloved.
You don't have to worry about that. You two are good.
- The things she says... - Thank you.
- are very interesting. - Right.
Please tell us about Sae Ho.
In Sae Ho's case...
- Why are you pretending to search? - Tell me.
- You have nothing there. - In the future, Ye Bin might...
There it is.
- Is there a note? - It's very small.
There are three lines.
Sae Ho looks like a pig.
(Sae Ho looks like a pig.)
What?
That offended me too.
(That was very intuitive.)
- What? - What was that?
- Hey. - What is she saying?
Who doesn't know that he looks like a pig?
You are supposed to talk...
- We all know he looks like a pig. - about his personality.
- Sae Ho looks like a pig. - Then it would be interesting.
My gosh.
He waited so long.
You searched for the note for such a long time, and...
Let's end it there.
That's it. That's it.
Sae Ho looks like a pig.
It upset me at first,
but seeing many people laughing made me happy.
Great.
- Really? - How about my work and love life?
- Tell me. - How about his marriage?
Out of 100 times, he only gets lucky 80 times.
Out of 100...
You are cursing him.
You are cursing him. Just cast dark spells on him.
(She should just cast dark spells on him.)
- Just 80 percent. Work harder. - You praised Yoon Hee. Why...
You praised Yoon Hee. Why are you doing this to us?
What do you think of us?
I am sorry, but Ye Bin,
aren't you just a mean commenter?
She's unbelievable.
- I will just stay like this. - Still...
I won't show my face.
Ye Bin's physiognomy session...
- It was so fun. - was very fun.
That was very fun, Ye Bin.
(Thank you, for your interesting insights.)
It was just for fun.
It's just as fun as I imagined.
- It's so fun. - It's so funny.
I heard Ji A prepared...
a lot of things for Happy Together.
Did you prepare a dance?
- Really? - Really?
She's a pretty girl, and she can dance well too?
- These days, - She's so pretty.
everyone seems to dance.
Now, Ji A will dance.
(We have to see Ji A's dance.)
- Here we go. - She's not nervous.
(Music starts.)
(What is this song?)
("I Wanna Be a Celeb" by Celeb Five)
(What would Ji A's version of this powerful dance be like?)
(She's very powerful.)
I love her facial expression.
(Stretching)
She's good.
(Her dance and her facial expressions are perfect.)
She's cute too.
(The song suddenly changes.)
(She copies Guk Joo's solar plexus dance.)
(It's Ji A's remix.)
(She looks just like the original artists.)
(They are impressed.)
She's really good.
(She exudes her juicy charms.)
(She suddenly changes.)
She changes when the song changes.
(She becomes chic during the bridge part.)
She changes when the song changes.
It's ITZY.
("Dalla Dalla" by ITZY)
(She even does the cover dance of the hottest girl group's song.)
(Ji A is different from the girls...)
(who are pretty but lack charms.)
She's really good.
She really is.
- I envy her for dancing so well. - She's much better.
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E42 Happy Together S4 "Tell Us How You Have Been" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(She's both talented and skilled.)
Yeon Su,
she's the best.
- Thank you. - She should be a celebrity.
- Really? - Really.
- She's too talented. - More than anything...
She doesn't just dance well. She enjoys it.
- Right. - Actually,
even if you dance well, you might get...
nervous in front of cameras.
- It's not easy to do. - She's...
It's a shame...
that she's good at everything.
Should we become a singer? She's funny too.
- She's funny too. - She's funny too.
- Yeon Su, she's got many choices. - She's funny too.
Too many choices.
Weren't you nervous when you went up on stage?
- I wasn't. - She wasn't nervous.
- She's... - How...
I shouldn't have become a celebrity.
- Now, we know. - I...
You know that, right? I get shy.
- He's shy. - I...
don't like receiving attention.
I get really shy too.
I like making people laugh.
But I don't like receiving attention.
But Ji A likes the attention.
I heard Ji A inherited her father's athletic genes.
It was mentioned a while ago.
Boys in her class want to...
- team up with her during PE class. - Really?
(Do boys ask her to be in their team?)
You are amazing. What do you play?
Dodge ball or soccer.
(She's very popular when she plays dodge ball or soccer.)
- Does she play soccer well? - Yes.
Really?
(She's shy.)
Right.
You play golf well. You play soccer well.
- What is it that she can't do? - She dances well too.
You won't be able to take her ball away.
- No way. - No way.
We play soccer pretty well too.
(She's born with amazing genes.)
(Song Ji A is a soccer player with great skills.)
Go and take away Sae Ho's ball.
He's clearly bad at it.
(FC Happy Together fights against her.)
My goodness.
(His specialty is spinning.)
(FC Happy Together Player 3: Cho Young Pyo)
Do you want to play against Hyun Moo?
Let me try.
What will you show us?
(The next player joins the game.)
What's that?
Gosh. He's terrible.
(He's got flashy footwork.)
What was he doing?
He's terrible.
(FC Happy Together Player 2: Moo Messi)
How do you call that soccer?
- You are bad too. - You have terrible footwork.
You got a soccer player's hairstyle.
I apologize that they are terrible at playing soccer.
He's like a national player.
Look at me.
(He's finishing skills are unbelievable.)
(FC Happy Together Player 1: Yunaldo)
Ji A.
We'll try to get the ball from Ji A.
- Right. - Okay.
- I'll go against Ji A. - It's 3 on 1?
- Should I get the ball from you? - You can do whatever you like.
(FC Happy Together versus Song Ji A)
Start.
(The game starts.)
She's good.
(She relaxedly passed the ball through his legs.)
Get the ball.
(Next, she fights against Moo Messi.)
(Why is he like a leaf falling by the autumn wind?)
Move, buddies.
- I got this. - She's so good.
- You look like... - He's the manager.
You look like a sacked manager.
(He looks like a manager that got sacked.)
- He failed to deliver the promise. - Ji A.
- I'll take the ball away from you. - Okay.
(I won't go easy on you.)
She's really good.
Jae Seok. Jae Seok.
- Do a good job. - Take the ball.
(Ji A's special move makes Jae Seok helpless.)
Pass.
(It's a mess here.)
You are so persistent. They want to win so bad.
What is going on? What is going on?
What is going on?
(What?)
What is going on?
(They just tripped over each other.)
My gosh.
(Their play embarrasses us.)
You guys are terrible at playing soccer.
- Right. - Is it that obvious?
It's very obvious. The problem is this.
- Ji A has long arms and legs. - Right.
They are so long...
that it seems like her waist is higher than Sae Ho's waist.
Her legs are so long.
- She's agile. - I haven't played in a while.
- They haven't sweated in a while. - Should we go to a sauna?
Why would you go to a sauna?
I should've shown you my shooting skills. What a shame.
- I know. - Just resign.
(They should resign from FC Happy Together.)
Ji A seems very athletic.
I heard you play golf better than your dad.
He hits the ball hard, so his ball flies further than my ball.
- He just hits hard. - It flies far.
She's dissing her father.
He lacks in the details.
He's never learned to play golf.
He's never played it.
Ji A learned it systematically.
Her dad didn't get to learn it systematically.
Recently, he took her out to a golf course.
Before they left, I asked him to take a lot of photos and videos.
I clearly asked him.
But he didn't take any.
So I asked him why he didn't take her photos. And Ji A said,
"Mom, Dad came last that day."
- "He was busy trying to keep up." - Right.
You have to be good to take photos.
You have to be relaxed.
- He was busy catching up. - He was too occupied.
- His ball must have flown far away. - Right.
Yeon Su, I've seen an article about it.
I heard you and Chong Gug talk comfortably to each other...
- and are just like good friends. - Is that right?
It took a long time to become like this.
- It's already been over six years. - Right.
It's not because I have a cool personality.
Hating someone...
really hurt me.
Fortunately,
I figured it out quickly. Instead of hating him,
I became his friend.
So now,
I even talk to him about the man I date.
- Really? - Yes.
If I break up with someone,
I tell him about it.
That's what Hollywood stars do.
- It's really like that. - Yes.
- It must've been hard. - It must've been hard.
Yes. It wasn't easy at all.
Ji Wook, me, Mom, and Dad...
- The four of us eat together too. - With who?
- All together? - We sometimes eat together.
We didn't do that in the past.
- But now... - But now we...
eat meat together and say good things to each other.
Do you talk about your boyfriend to your children too?
Yes. I do.
Children grow well when they receive love.
Right.
Just because we are divorced...
- doesn't mean we can't love again. - Of course.
- Right. Right. - It's not like...
- we committed a crime. - Of course.
I think all the divorcees...
- are too daunted. - Right.
I want people to come out from the shade to the light.
- And it's not the shade anyway. - Of course.
Like you said,
it's been about six years. You must've gone through...
- so much over those years. - Of course.
I'm sure you went through a lot of things.
You are now good friends,
and that's amazing.
I think that was possible because your children...
- Right. - understood and supported you.
What do you think, Ji A?
I love how things are now.
- Do you? - Yes.
There was a time when...
my parents were in bad terms.
During that time,
Mom didn't smile much.
- Now, she smiles often. - She's so sweet.
It's nice to see Mom and Dad getting along well.
- Ji A is only in sixth grade. - Right.
She's very mature.
At first, it was confusing for you too, wasn't it?
I was 7 or 8 at the time. I didn't know anything.
- She cried a lot. The kids did. - At first.
Like you said, how hard must it have been for Ji A?
You must be so happy. She says she's the happiest now.
I am so happy.
In the past, she didn't even...
let me go to a grocery store in front of the house.
But now when I fix her a meal and leave, she says, "Bye."
"Bye."
"Bye, Mom."
She grew a lot.
- Doesn't that make you sad? - No. Not at all.
I'm not sad at all. I love it.
She's got good news.
Before she became a great mom,
- she was an actress. - Yes.
You went back to acting last year, didn't you?
- It's called "Fates And Furies". - "Fates And Furies".
I played the role of a mother on "Fates And Furies".
I played Joo Sang Wook's mother when he was young.
- When he was young. - Right.
Not the mother of adult Joo Sang Wook, right?
That really surprised me.
- I'm her daughter. - Right.
So I got the role of the mother.
- I only had one line to say. - What was it?
"Thank you, Son."
Then I died right away.
Right away.
If you are the lead character's mother,
you must appear a lot when he reminisces the past.
I thought so too.
- They said I had quite a few lines. - Right.
But I only had one line.
Did you watch that drama, Ji A?
I went to...
- A photo. - a store with Mom,
and there was a TV.
And she was on TV.
I didn't see her talking,
but it was fascinating to see her on TV.
How did it feel when you saw your mom acting on TV?
I realized, "So Mom has that side to her as well."
Do you want her to act more?
I want her to act a lot more.
- Do you? - Right.
How nice is it to have a daughter like her?
- She's so sweet. - It must feel so reassuring.
We can't talk about acting without mentioning Ye Bin.
Her acting on "Wang's Family"...
was very impressive.
I heard you were touched by Kim Hae Sook.
I didn't start out as an actress,
so it was very tough for me.
It was hard to act alongside the veteran actors.
The drama ended with a 50-percent viewer rating.
- 50 percent? - Yes.
After the awards ceremony,
the team had dinner together.
On the way from the restroom,
I ran into Hae Sook.
When I ran into her, she called me,
"Ye Bin".
- I was so nervous. - I am nervous too.
"Yes, ma'am. You did such a good job."
And she told me this.
"You are good."
"Your acting is quite good."
"You are good."
"You will be successful."
(The veteran actress warmly cheered her up.)
"I think you are a great kid."
She told me that.
I cried my heart out.
I had never heard of something like that in my life.
Nobody else had told me that in my acting career.
After it ended,
she approved my acting.
I was very touched by it.
I really cried my heart out.
She saw you while shooting the drama.
- Right. - Then she told you that.
That's why she sounded more sincere.
Right. I didn't start as an actress...
and they were all great actors.
From the start, I worried that I might...
be a nuisance to them.
It was such a conventional type of drama.
- Right. - So it was difficult.
She told me that at the end.
"You seem like a good kid."
How happy must she have been?
"You are good."
"I think you are good."
Joo Ri. When the news got out that Joo Ri will be here today,
- someone... - Right. Mi Ryeo...
- Mi Ryeo sent something. - She sent gifts.
Joo Ri. When the news got out that Joo Ri will be here today,
- someone... - Right. Mi Ryeo...
- Mi Ryeo sent something. - She sent gifts.
Were those from Mi Ryeo?
- From Mi Ryeo and Kyung Boon. - Mi Ryeo and Kyung Boon.
When I told them that I'd be going on a show...
after a long break...
- I got touched. - Right.
- Later... Why are you crying? - She's crying.
She kept crying...
- even before the show. - Did she cry earlier?
She cried her eyes out earlier,
so I told her not to if it's not because of a tragedy.
- The viewers don't know this but... - They're happy tears.
- It's just that... - She's grateful.
I had to turn down gigs to stay at home and watch my baby.
They volunteered to babysit...
so that I didn't have to miss Happy Together.
- We're grateful too. - Yes, we are.
- My gosh. - How can you not be grateful?
I'm truly grateful.
- Gosh. - Shall we get back to you then?
- No, I'm good to go. - Okay.
Shall we get back to you then?
- No, I'm good to go. - Okay.
- I was just asking. - I can't give up my turn.
A professional doesn't give up her turn.
- Right. - Crying is part of it.
- The tears... - It serves as a focal point.
- Right. - Anyway, we have a photo.
Yes, let's look at it.
- Raising a child is like a battle. - This is a battlefield.
- Goodness. - Goodness.
My gosh.
- You're truly amazing. - Oh, dear.
Is your hair dripping with sweat?
No, I wasn't sweating. I took a shower that morning,
but the hair still got that oily.
- Because of the sweat? - More like from the grease.
I wanted to eat the soup badly,
but I was worried that the hot soup will splatter on her.
It's why I covered my baby...
and stuck my neck out as far as I could.
When I posted this photo,
all the moms said that it brought them to tears.
Yes, of course.
- I'm about to cry too. - Yes, me too.
Why does it bring tears when we're not even mothers?
Wait, what's that?
- Goodness. - What's this?
What is this a photo of?
- Is that rice? - When I went to the bathroom,
he managed to open the fridge...
and take out the powdered cheese.
- Goodness. - He sprinkled it everywhere.
That's actually not so bad though...
because you can clean it up with a vacuum cleaner.
Things got tricky when the honey pot was broken.
You have one at home?
Yes, and the pot was made out of glass.
The honey made a puddle,
but the kids loved it because of its sticky texture.
They'd slide their hands in the honey...
- and then grab me. - It could be dangerous.
Before I know it, my hair is covered in honey.
I told the kids to stop and took them to the bathroom.
I made them take a bath and came back out to clean the honey.
Honey isn't easy to clean up because of how sticky it is.
I had to use hot water to make the honey runnier...
so that I could scoop it up.
Recently, we've had another big mess to clean.
My son took out ink...
from the printer and sprayed it on the bed.
How did he even detach the cartridge?
It's not that hard to pull it out.
After spraying the ink, he used his hands...
- to paint the mattress. - He drew art.
- Yes, he embodied an artist. - My gosh.
- Is it for real? - Yes, it is.
Hold on a second. Even though she's a kid herself,
Ji A can't believe it either.
It's why I'm now wondering if it's because I only have sons.
I'm curious about how Ji A was like.
Did I cause trouble like that too?
No, she never created messes like that.
However, it was different with her younger brother.
He didn't make a mess either,
but he once climbed up the bathroom basin...
and grabbed the razor on the top shelf.
- He grabbed it with his palm. - What?
There were cuts everywhere.
It was only a razor, so the cuts weren't big.
However, they were everywhere.
They were shallow cuts.
He had to get it treated at the hospital.
- No way. - You always have to be careful.
How do you feel when your kids...
make a mess like that?
- Do you get angry? - Well, this...
- Of course, I get angry. - But?
But the kids get injured a lot as well,
so what I want most is for them to not get hurt.
I let them have their fun as long as it's not dangerous.
Why do your kids follow you to the bathroom?
My youngest son is still just a baby,
so I place him in his chair outside the bathroom...
whenever I need to go...
and relieve myself.
His two older brothers come over to join him,
so the three end up watching me as I do my business.
Don't they enter?
They sit on the floor and look up at me.
- When they do... - Isn't it embarrassing?
When we take a dump, we sometimes...
- make fart noises, right? - Right.
They whisper to each other that I just farted.
I keep telling them to stop...
because it's embarrassing. What's worse though...
is that they insist on flushing the toilet.
My gosh.
"I'm going to flush it!" "No, I'm going to do it!"
I have to beg so that they let me flush it.
They both want to flush it themselves.
Yes, they insist on doing so.
- This is hilarious. - They keep pressing...
the spray button when I'm not ready.
When you're not ready?
If you're not ready...
Water shoots out when I'm not ready for it.
- What? - That's awful.
I'm sure they're still the apple of your eye,
- but... - My gosh!
you do want to take a dump in peace sometimes.
You should get a toilet that automatically flushes.
(She needs a toilet that automatically flushes.)
- Gosh. - It's hilarious though.
I hear that your husband helps immensely with the kids.
- Well, he should. - My husband is quite considerate.
In the morning, he lets me sleep in often.
He'll wake up first and take the kids outside.
I like how considerate he is with the little things.
He'll let me get some rest...
by taking the kids on a vacation.
- That's so cool. - He went on one with his friends.
So I'd pack their bags since it's a vacation.
There are a bunch of clothes to take,
but I'd also make sure that the kids look stylish.
I pack outfits that go together, two sets of swimwear each...
in case one gets wet, and diapers for the baby.
- But in the pictures... - They never change clothes.
No, they're all naked.
(They're all naked.)
- Gosh, look at them! - They're not wearing anything.
They have nothing on.
It's not easy to make the kids where outfits that...
match in terms of color and style.
Also, fathers don't usually bother with rash guards.
- Still... - "Kids, just take everything off."
But moms are different.
Yes, but he reassures me with everything else though.
He's on a trip,
so he'll probably want to go out with his friends...
and get a few drinks too,
but I'd call and he'd be at a playground for kids.
He's a sweet guy.
My two older sons already have passports,
so I'll get one for my youngest soon...
- and send all three of them away. - How nice.
- I'm going to send them away. - It's hilarious.
Guk Joo, weren't you upset that Joo Ri got married first?
- You two were really close. - You two are best friends.
I embarrassed myself by wailing at her wedding.
Some might've thought...
that I was crying because I had a history with her husband.
You cried more than my parents.
- I cried a lot that day. - Really?
It's because I thought we wouldn't get to see each other often.
Thankfully though,
she's been having kids nonstop since her marriage,
so she's forced to stay at home.
Whenever I need cheering up,
- I'd go to her house. - Her house?
They barely have time to cook,
so I'd visit with heaps of food.
When the kids start to cry, she'd go to watch them.
Then her husband takes her spot at the table.
He and I talk and have a few drinks...
and then they swap when Joo Ri gets tired.
I have two best friends now.
Right.
Her husband and I get along quite well too,
and we've been supportive of each other.
I feel more comfortable at their house now.
I ask her to text me what she wants to eat,
and I'd head over there after work. I even took my grill too.
- Really? - We even had a barbecue there.
Normally, when one says you'd like to eat meat,
- the other just buys the meat. - That's right.
She even brings her own grill.
I'd tell her...
that I'm a housewife too and that I have grills,
but I guess it has to be a certain type of grill.
You need a different grill for different cuts.
She has her own philosophy when it comes to barbecue.
I even buy grills for my friends as well.
- Right. - I heard that too.
It's why I always bring the grill that's needed.
Ye Bin, what are your thoughts on marriage?
I'm always open to the possibility of marriage.
If I get the chance, I'd like to get married.
- I'm not kidding. - Do you have someone to marry?
No, not yet.
When they were talking, we couldn't be...
- more jealous. - I was super jealous.
- "Maybe in another life." - Exactly.
- Did you really say that? - What are...
- you most jealous about? - It's what we said.
As of right now,
I'd like to meet someone right now and date him for a year.
- Really? - People change over time.
- Men are different in the spring... - Date one in all seasons.
Yes, all the seasons.
So I'd marry him the next year...
after doing so.
All he needs to do is appear in front of you.
Yes, he just needs to appear.
Who would be your ideal guy?
Before, I wanted to marry someone...
like Kim Jong Kook.
Really?
Yes, someone who's fit with a muscular figure.
I met him in person once, and he was even better in person.
Nowadays though,
I'd like it to be someone who's sweet and innocent.
Oh, I see.
(She prefers someone sweet and innocent now.)
Ye Bin gained fame...
- by being the octagon girl. - Right.
Were you the first Asian to be one?
Yes, it was back in 2012,
and I was the first Asian octagon girl.
How did you get to be one though?
Just so you know, my father is...
a judo instructor and my mother is a taekwondo instructor.
My father's also a police officer as well.
- That's right. - So...
instead of daily TV dramas,
- we'd watch K1 or... - Mixed martial arts?
That's right. I used to be a huge fan...
of Peter Aerts.
Peter Aerts?
I haven't heard that name in a while.
It's been a while since I heard his name.
He was famous for his kicks. After a while,
I was given the chance to host...
the UFC.
The director...
told me that they never select Asians,
but he suggested that I give it a go anyway.
I took a video of myself wearing an appropriate outfit...
and I introduced myself while showcasing...
how I'd look as an octagon girl.
I was contacted not long after and asked to take the stage.
I can't watch mixed martial arts because it's scary.
That's understandable.
What is it like to watch a fight in the arena?
It couldn't be more thrilling and exciting.
- Really? - You're watching it up close.
I hear everything because I'm so close by.
I can even hear the punches.
- The punches flying? - The swooshing sounds.
Maybe joke about fighters making the sound orally,
but that's not the case.
I can also see one's eyes...
rolling to the back of one's head.
When they get knocked out,
their eyes roll to the back of their heads.
Do you cover your eyes when that happens?
My dad used to chuck me over his shoulder as a kid.
- Well, he's experienced in judo. - Right.
- He must've been strict. - My mom would do this.
- So both your parents... - Really?
That's why I'm not scared of that.
Is there something you shouldn't do as an octagon girl?
What you shouldn't do? Well, as an octagon girl,
you must stay neutral.
- You can't cheer for someone. - Not for a specific someone.
- Of course. - But I was...
the first Korean octagon girl,
and I could see that the Korean fighters were nervous.
- Kim Dong Hyun, Jung Chan Sung... - Yes, and also Lim Hyun Gyu.
I couldn't help but cheer for a certain fighter.
When Korean fighters got hit,
I'd scream and yell too. This one time,
it sounded like the fighter didn't hear his coach.
- He was told to hike up his bottom. - So?
I went to him and relayed the message.
That's what I did...
and I was dragged back away from the cage.
Are you retired as an octagon girl now?
I don't think octagon girls ever retire.
- I'll always be one. - Of course.
That's cool of you to say.
Do you still only eat one meal a day?
I make sure that I'm always ready to get back up there.
- No way. - That's discipline.
What do you usually eat for that one meal?
Sometimes I eat what I want and sometimes I eat healthily.
Just so you know, I love chicken breast and mushrooms.
- Chicken breast? - It's usually dry and bland, right?
Stir-fry some in garlic. The meat suddenly becomes sweet.
- Still... - Minced garlic.
It's delicious when you stir-fry it with minced garlic.
If it's still too bland, add some gochujang.
You can also add some sugar if you like.
Also, if you want...
Just order a plate of seasoned fried chicken!
I'd rather order a plate as well.
(The dish is already close to being one.)
- Right? - Why do you keep seasoning it?
You should just order a plate of seasoned fried chicken.
Have you never received any professional training?
I took some classes when I was young,
but apart from that,
I've never received any formal training.
I workout by myself at home.
If you haven't had any professional help,
how have you maintained your figure?
- To be honest... - Just by yourself?
I don't go all crazy with workouts,
but I do stay on a strict diet.
Some workouts I do out of habit now.
I used to run track and do archery as a kid,
so there are moves that have been programmed into me.
Sit-ups, core exercises, squats and others.
I do those moves the moment I wake up.
What move do you do first then?
I started my mornings with sit-ups.
(She does sit-ups before getting out of bed.)
- My gosh. - I walk over to the fridge.
(Working out)
Goodness.
Ye Bin does sit-ups to start her morning.
Meanwhile, Guk Joo...
I let the springs from the mattress...
bounce me over to the fridge.
- You bounce over? - Yes.
I'm curious though because...
I also only eat one meal a day.
- I wanted to ask this. - You eat one meal a day?
How long of a meal do you consider...
as one meal?
What does that mean?
Because I can only eat one meal a day...
- How long? - I've had it for three hours once.
Just think about it.
That is counted as two meals.
But I'm still eating the same dish in the same sitting.
Aren't you binge eating once a day then?
Must there be a limit to how long a meal should be?
You should be glad that you do it only once a day.
- While doing so... - What you should know though...
is that she eats sujebi with her rice.
- Have you seen someone do that? - But it's delicious.
Sujebi with rice?
She's eating carbs with carbs.
- But it's delicious. - Of course, it is.
I've never heard that one before.
- Right? - Sujebi with rice.
Sujebi and kalguksu are main dishes for most people.
To me, they're side dishes.
Na Rae Bar is mentioned a lot these days,
but Guk Joo Saloon is also well known.
- They're both great. - Both are great cooks.
- Right. - We have different styles though.
Na Rae cooks western food that are fancy and sophisticated.
As I said, I eat sujebi with rice.
Korean food is my specialty.
There's something I'm proud of and it's the fact...
that I can accommodate 10 guests even if they come unannounced.
- That's not easy to do. - How?
Lee Hong Gi and DinDin came over recently.
Since I haven't seen them both in a while,
I made them samgyetang.
I always prepare one chicken per person.
- How? - I've tried this...
- as well. - Anyway, I cooked it for them.
Most people would prepare fruits...
or maybe a side dish to go with it,
but I actually...
boiled some pork as the second dish.
- Oh, my. - I boiled it in doenjang.
- So there's chicken, pork... - And pork.
Beef was missing, so I made yukjeon.
(Yukjeon was the third dish.)
That's how I prepare meals.
- No way. - I make them eat all that.
Some might point fingers at me...
for only serving meat, so I also cooked a seafood dish.
I made squid with a vinegar dressing.
It tastes amazing with the pork.
Are you on a cooking show?
The two were so touched and took many pictures of it.
They couldn't possibly eat it all,
so they started to call their celebrity friends over.
We now became a group of seven.
Dinner started at 8pm,
but then I heard that one's manager hadn't eaten yet.
The samgyetang was long gone,
but I saw that there were some pieces with meat on them.
While the others had fun, I took the meat off the bones,
and brought out the kalguksu noodles that I always have.
- Kalguksu? - That's what I made.
- It sounds delicious! - Then another manager came,
so I added some rice and made porridge.
- Rice porridge with chicken? - That's right.
I also added some beef as well.
- Did you eat it all? - That's how the meal went.
At 7am, I even cooked them ramyeon to cure their hangovers.
However, they still didn't want to leave.
They told me to go to sleep and that'd they keep on having fun.
"Are you kidding me? This is my house, guys."
So at 7am, I whispered to the managers...
to get lost.
That's how I was able to get them out of the house.
- Amazing. - That's incredible.
We had a lot of fun.
Yeon Su, Ji A's a big girl now,
so you're probably done with the hardships of childrearing.
Still, I hear that she's now hit puberty.
She mentioned that earlier.
I thought that life would finally get easier,
but then another big hurdle appeared.
Whenever I tell her something, she's like this.
Her tone is different.
I guess that's how teenagers are.
They just don't want to hear anything.
Ji A, have you ever felt like you've changed?
- Have you changed? - I'd rather play with my friends...
than hang out with my mom now.
- It's so sad. - Yes, that's the biggest change.
Joo Ri's already upset.
My sons won't follow me to the bathroom anymore.
- You can have more. - They'll be in their rooms.
- More? - Until when?
Their doors are always closed.
I'll have to check my schedule.
They're always behind closed doors too.
I hear that Yeon Su...
says this a lot to Ji A.
"When you get married, I hope that..."
- "you have a daughter like you." - That's right.
I tell her that almost every day.
Do you know what she says back?
"Why would you say something so scary?"
So she knows how difficult she is.
"Why would you say something so scary?"
Ji A, is that so scary?
- Yes. - In what way?
Why is that so scary?
Honestly speaking,
I don't have a nice personality.
It's nice how she's honest about it.
- How cool of her. - She' s so charming.
I take after my mom, you see.
(I take after my mom.)
- Did you see that? - I did.
Ji A's not your average innocent kid.
- She has to have the last word. - Exactly.
From what I hear, she came prepared today.
There's a matter she wants to settle once and for all.
It must be something big. Can you tell us what is it?
- It's about the control app. - What's that?
It's an app that allows her to control my phone from hers.
- What? - A certain thing exists?
I just got the chills.
Why don't we all install it on our phones?
I didn't even know of such a thing.
- So you're monitoring her. - It's an app that's...
more known among moms with older children.
I can delete the apps that she installs...
- and stop her from installing any. - Really?
- You can delete apps? - Yes.
I can set a specific time...
and she won't be able to use any data after that.
- So like the computer program. - For instance,
kids could lie about...
how long they'll be using their phones,
so you're monitoring that too.
- Is there such a thing? - Yes.
So Ji A, what's your biggest complaint?
- Her locking my phone. - In what way?
Mom, you be honest with me.
If I'm on my phone for half an hour, you're on yours...
for two hours.
- Busted! - It's as if you're like an addict.
I usually log on to the market apps...
- or shopping apps. - Right.
- She needs to shop. - For two hours?
I need to have groceries delivered...
and buy detergents.
So everything you buy is for the family.
- Of course. - Well,
this is something I've never told her.
You have something crucial?
You can override the lock, right?
- Is there an app for that? - When she locks my phone,
I go on the Internet with the tablet.
(I go on the Internet with the tablet.)
- She didn't know. - Right.
Kids are cunning like that.
- Yes. - They all have a way.
If that's the case...
- No one is supposed to die easily. - That's right.
We all find a way.
Young kids...
have a number of tricks up their sleeves.
Yoon Hee also has a daughter too.
Why don't you help her out a little?
I should be the one learning from her.
Since Ji A's a girl,
I also don't think that Yeon Su's ways...
are too harsh.
That's not the case though.
I've been allowed to go on my phone for 2.5 hours,
but it keeps getting shorter.
- It keeps getting shorter. - That's not nice.
Maybe it's because you're on your phone too much...
instead of doing...
- what you're supposed to do. - That's not it!
- This is scary. - The moms have teamed up.
- Right? - Her face says it all.
She's quite stubborn, isn't she?
Ye Bin's read wasn't wrong at all.
(Her reading was 100 percent perfect.)
- Just look. - Ji A, how long...
do you think you should have on your phone?
What can you promise?
- 2.5 hours. - 2.5 hours?
- Just 2.5 hours? - There are 24 hours in a day,
so 2.5 hours is next to nothing.
I'm curious though.
School ends at 2:40pm...
and she arrives at the academy at 3pm.
When her classes are over, she goes to another one at 8pm.
You're torturing her.
No wonder she looked tired.
She doesn't take any academic classes though.
She learns piano and golf which are what she likes.
So here's the thing.
Her schedule is fully packed almost every day,
so when did she spend two hours on her phone?
- Hear me out. - You two should stop fighting.
- Do you know how she doubted me? - How did she doubt you?
She doubted me like this.
She said I used my phone secretly at school.
- Secretly used your phone. - That's what she said.
She thought you used your phone secretly at school.
Did you just use some abbreviation for that?
I was trying to...
catch up with what she said.
- Secretly used her phone. - Right.
So will you be happy with using your phone for two hours and a half?
I just want her to erase that app.
- You just want to be free. - She wants me to erase it.
Right.
Kids hate that app.
Let me suggest this.
Why don't you let her use it on her own for some time?
If it doesn't work, you can go on with your way.
- Two hours can be her limit. - Right.
She would make an effort to get her freedom.
I will erase the application...
as soon as I walk out from here.
(I'll erase the application right away.)
Here's the thing.
Ji A, you should keep your promise with your mother.
Only then, you can keep your freedom this way.
But she will control you again if you don't keep your promise.
Will you accept this too?
- You will? - Okay.
Do you agree with this?
Then Mom should have a limit too.
(Her mom too?)
You should use it for three hours only.
(Let me give you 30 more minutes.)
Ji A knows how to deal with this.
- My goodness. - Way to go.
You know what?
Sae Ho and I go outdoors for this TV show.
As we talked with many kids,
I noticed that kids these days can be really fun.
They talk so well.
- She's like my friend. - Where did you learn all this?
You'll be impressed.
When I was a fifth-grader in Yongin,
I wasn't really good at talking.
But kids in Seoul are so tough.
What?
Kids in Seoul talk so much better than kids in Yongin.
I'm serious. I'm not kidding.
Because kids in Seoul talk so well,
I get adapted to their speed too.
Sae Ho asked her, "Where did you learn that?"
Sae Ho, you live in Seoul too.
I've been in Seoul all my life.
Which area in Seoul do you have to be in?
- Where's your school again? - Gaeil Elementary School.
You should go to Gaeil Elementary School first.
- Start all over again. - From elementary school?
You should go to her elementary school,
and learn how to speak well.
You can be Ji A's junior.
It's not going to be easy to beat kids.
- Great. - Don't spread rumors on this.
But I heard...
that you are in such good terms with your son, Ji Wook.
- I never had a fight with Ji Wook. - How old is he?
He's a year younger than Ji A.
He's just a year younger.
He's such a good boy.
When he gets home from school...
with his backpack,
Ji A and I would have a fight.
When it's really tense,
he'd come in.
He'll say, "I'm home, but..."
"I'm leaving for tutoring class." Then he just leaves.
So as he gets home from school,
- he leaves right away. - Right.
As soon as he says "I'm home.",
he notices that Ji A and I are having a fight.
Then he leaves right away, "I'm leaving for tutoring class."
He can read things so fast and is quick-witted.
- I know. - My goodness.
- That's impressive. - He's just so cute.
Ji A has never made...
ramyeon by herself.
She'll ask Ji Wook to make it. "Make ramyeon for me."
- Ji Wook says, "Which one?" - My goodness.
Ji Wook asks her what kind of ramyeon she wants to have.
Ji A would say...
a specific type of noodles she wants to have.
Then Ji Wook goes, "Ji A, it's done. You can have it now."
He's a brother we would expect to see in a drama or something.
- In a drama. - Right.
- He's such a nice brother. - What was that about?
What about the scale of his gifts?
It's like this.
Ji Wook gave me flowers, and he put some money underneath.
He left 150 dollars there.
- Ji Wook did that? - He has that kind of money?
- He has more money than me. - He gave you 150 dollars?
When Ji A and Ji Wook visit...
their father, his friends would give them some pocket money.
They save it in the piggy bank.
Ji Wook saved all of them.
He hid the money underneath the flower he gave me.
- I didn't do it for you? - Of course, you did.
But for Ji A,
she gave me 50 dollars in an envelope.
Ji A has much more money in her piggy bank.
(Ji A has much more money in her piggy bank.)
So you are upset because Ji A gave you less money.
- That's hilarious. - Oh, come on.
But for me...
She has a lot of money in her piggy bank.
Yeon Su is funny too.
It's like you are Ji A's sister, not her mom.
- They're like friends. - You want 100 more dollars.
Like what Hyun Moo said,
Ji A is like your sister, not your daughter.
- My goodness. - It's true.
But for me,
I buy this flower box for her...
on Mother's Day.
- The flower box set. - Right.
There's a diffuser too.
I wrote her a letter.
It has a lot of flowers.
But for that single flower box,
it costs 60 dollars.
Your mother likes cash.
If you think about how much Ji A spent overall,
Ji A spent pretty much the same as Ji Wook.
- Ji A might get hurt from this. - Of course.
But at home,
my mom compliments Ji Wook a lot.
She always says, "Why can't you be nice like your brother?"
But she always compliments me when she meets other people.
- My goodness. - She ends it nicely.
She's saying that her mother is the best now.
You are really putting on a show today.
We can't catch up with Ji A's pace.
- Don't you think so? - I agree.
- She thinks her mom is the best. - But it's true.
She only compliments me when she meets others.
- Did you see it? - It's true.
Your mother was so happy when you danced.
She couldn't take her eyes off of you.
That's all for "Tell Us How You Have Been".
How was it, Yeon Su?
It has been a more meaningful time for me with my daughter here...
compared to when I was here by myself.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to dance.
You are an entertainer.
My goodness. She'll debut soon.
You must be torn between a golfer and an entertainer.
I'm on TV for the 1st time after giving birth to my 3rd kid.
It has been fun with my reliable friends.
Through this chance,
I hope to work on more TV shows.
I should work now.
I was a bit pressured...
because I didn't know what to talk about.
But everyone made me feel like I was at home.
I got to have fun with all my friends whom I get along with.
My throat is a bit hoarse now, but I am happy.
I always wanted to be here.
But I never had a chance.
Through this chance,
I believe happiness will come to me.
Great.
We'll see you next week.
- See you next week. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
